What to know
- Lemons spawn on small fruit trees mainly in swamp and forested areas like Dam Battlegrounds and Space Port.
- Best places to find lemons include Olive Grove on Blue Gate map, Marano Park in Buried City, and the southern forest areas.
- Lemons are used for crafting Fruit Mix, upgrading the companion Scrappy, and completing quests.
- Farming lemons is best during the Lush Blooms weather event for higher fruit density.
Arc Raiders players need lemons for crucial crafting recipes, upgrades, and quest completions. These small fruits are found around the game world but require knowledge of specific locations and optimal farming times.
Where lemons spawn in Arc Raiders
Lemons primarily grow on small fruit trees and bushes scattered in swampy and forested areas. Notable spots include:
| Location | Details |
|---|---|
| Olive Grove (Blue Gate) | Many lemon trees; popular for farming lemons and olives, useful for Scrappy upgrades |
| Marano Park (Buried City) | High spawn rate but crowded; good for farming lemons and apricots near the extraction point |
| Dam Battlegrounds (Swamp) | High fruit density; good for farming lemons but offers limited cover |
| Staff Parking (Space Port) | Smaller clusters; used for additional lemon farming |
| Grandioso Apartments (east side) | Small pond with lemon trees; a safer lemon farming spot |

Lemons spawn both on the trees and sometimes around them on the ground.

Press the interact button near trees to shake more lemons loose.

How to farm lemons efficiently
To maximize lemon collection:
- Go during the Lush Blooms event, which increases fruit spawn density across maps.
- Use free loadouts focused solely on farming lemons and apricots, then extract quickly to avoid conflict.
- Watch for ARC enemies since lemon spawning areas tend to have less cover.
- Search near tree roots and open areas with scattered smaller fruit trees.
- Visit safer spots like east side of Grandioso Apartments near a small pond with lemon trees if available.
Uses of lemons in gameplay
Lemons serve several functions in Arc Raiders:
| Use category | Specifics |
|---|---|
| Crafting | Combine with apricot and prickly pear to craft fruit mix, a resource item |
| Scrappy upgrades | Needed to upgrade Scrappy from level II to III (requires 5 lemons and 5 apricots) and other tiers |
| Quests | Required to complete quests like Unexpected Initiative (e.g., 3 lemons and other items) |
| Consumption | Can be eaten for a small stamina boost but generally saved for crafting |
Lemons are vital for progressing your companion Scrappy, which boosts your AFK looting efficiency, making them an important farming target.
