The Ultimate Scrappy Farming Guide: How to Max Your Rooster Fast
He's more than just a chicken, he's a passive-income machine. Here's how to get him to Level 5.
Let's be honest, your most reliable teammate in ARC Raiders is that noisy rooster in your workshop. Scrappy is your key to a steady, passive stream of materials, but to make him really useful, you need to train him.
The problem is, his shopping list is a nightmare of random items, from cat beds to specific fruits.
This is the fast-track guide. I'm going to show you exactly what you need and the best places to farm it so you're not wasting 10 raids looking for a single pillow.

Here is every item you will need to get Scrappy from Level 1 to Level 5, all at once. Put this on your second monitor.

Level 2: The Dog Collar
Item: 1x Dog Collar
Where to look: Any Residential area on any map. Stop looking in bot-infested military zones. Go into the houses and apartments and loot every desk, drawer, and duffel bag. It's a common drop, so you'll find it quickly.
Level 3: The Fruit Run
Items: 3x Lemons, 3x Apricots
Where to look: The Olive Grove on the Blue Gate map. This is your one-stop shop. The trees are loaded with both.
Pro-Tip: While you're here, grab extra Apricots (you'll need 12 more later) and all the Olives you can carry (you'll need 6 for the next step).
Level 4: The Scavenger Hunt
Items: 6x Prickly Pears, 6x Olives, 1x Cat Bed
Olives: You should already have these from your Olive Grove run on Blue Gate. If not, go back there.
Prickly Pears: This is the annoying one. The best, most reliable spot is the center-south area of the Buried City map. Look for the big clusters of cacti; the pears are at the base.
Cat Bed: Back to the Residential or Commercial areas. My go-to spot for this (and the pillow) is any red locker. They seem to have a much higher drop rate for these comfort items.
Level 5: The Final Grind
Items: 12x Mushrooms, 12x Apricots, 3x Very Comfortable Pillow
Mushrooms: This is the easiest farm in the game. Go to the Spaceport map. Just south of the "Little Hangar" is a tree with a guaranteed 3x spawn of Mushrooms. Just do four quick runs, snatch them, and you're done.
Apricots: If you didn't grab 15 back on your first fruit run, you have two choices. Go back to the Olive Grove on Blue Gate, or head to the islands in the Red Lake on the Dam Battlegrounds map, which also have several trees.
Very Comfortable Pillow: Just like the Cat Bed. Go to any Residential or Commercial area and hit every single red locker you see.
One last tip: Before you go on a farming run, check the map modifiers. If you see a map with "Lush Blooms" or "Bloom," go there. It massively boosts all-natural harvests, and you'll get your fruits and mushrooms in no time.
