In Arc Raiders, your faithful pet Scrappy is a vital part of your progression. By upgrading him at the Workshop in your Raider Den, Scrappy passively collects crafting materials such as metal parts, fabric, rubber, chemicals, and seeds during your raids. This passive collection helps accelerate crafting, bench upgrades, and overall gameplay progress without additional farming.

To upgrade Scrappy, access the Workshop, choose the Scrappy tab, and select “Train.” If you have the required resources, simply click "Level Up".

Upgrades require gathering certain materials found in the game world.

How to upgrade Scrappy efficiently in Arc Raiders

Step 1

Locate a Dog Collar in residential zones to upgrade Scrappy to Level 2 (Forager), enhancing his initial gathering ability. You're likely to find a torn blanket nearby. If not, keep searching inside residential buildings.

Step 2

Collect at least 3 Lemons and 3 Apricots in natural areas around the map to push Scrappy to Level 3 (Scavenger).

Step 3

Gather 6 Prickly Pears, 6 Olives, and a Cat Bed from a blend of natural, residential, and commercial map zones to reach Level 4.

Step 4

Stockpile 12 Apricots, 12 Mushrooms, and 3 Comfortable Pillows to attempt the master upgrade at Level 5.

Step 5

Visit the Workshop between raids, select Scrappy, and "Train" using the collected items to progress each tier stepwise.

At max level, Scrappy fetches a large array of components such as metal parts, fabric, plastic parts, chemicals, rubber, and seeds faster and in larger quantities. This boost significantly eases your crafting resource demands over time.
