ARC Raiders Scrappy Upgrades: Levels, Feeding Rewards, and Materials

Scrappy is the Workshop rooster that returns Metal Parts, Fabric, Plastic Parts, Chemicals, Rubber Parts, and Assorted Seeds to Speranza after a raid. Two systems share the same nest: permanent Scrappy upgrades that raise his level to 5, and Flashpoint feeding that spends Nature items so each qualifying raid rolls a food-tied loot pool on top of the basic haul.

What Scrappy Levels Change

Scrappy starts at Level 1. Each upgrade burns a fixed bill of Nature items and residential junk. Higher levels raise the quality of both the passive nest haul and the feeding reward rolls. Unclaimed stacks stop new drops from landing once the nest is full. Flashpoint raised Scrappy storage past the previous 50-item claim cap.

The passive haul covers Metal Parts, Fabric, Plastic Parts, Chemicals, Rubber Parts, and Assorted Seeds. Those basics cover early Workshop station Level 1 bills (Gunsmith Metal and Rubber, Gear Bench Plastic and Fabric, Medical Fabric, Explosives Chemicals, Utility Plastic). Feeding adds a separate food-tied pool on top of that nest loop.

Feeding is available from Level 1. Food sits in a queue on Scrappy's Feed tab in the Workshop. Each item is consumed for one raid. A raid needs at least six minutes topside before that feed counts. The queue accepts several foods ahead, so multiple runs can burn the line without a return to Speranza between every deploy.

Apricots appear on both the Level 3 and Level 5 bills (3 then 12), for 15 apricots total across the full ladder.

Scrappy Upgrade Materials and Farm Spots

Upgrade parts split into Nature items from outdoor plants and residential comfort items from apartments and village housing.

Fruit baskets in outdoor residential and farm pockets can dump several Nature items at once. Scanner pulses mark Nature tags on trees, cacti, and shaded growth. Dam Hydroponic Dome mushroom loops still feed the Level 5 bill of 12. Safe Pocket holds Nature stacks through a failed extract.

How Scrappy Feeding Works

Flashpoint widened the rooster loop: particular foods change which loot types Scrappy can return, and higher Scrappy levels raise the reward band while the queue stays stocked.

Raid extract value does not reliably raise feeding quality. Food type sets the pool; Scrappy level sets the reward band. Feeding returns finished items only; station recipes still need extracted ARC Raiders BluePrints opened for Learn and Consume. A feed counts once the raid clears six minutes topside, independent of extract value.

Scrappy Feeding Rewards by Food

Each Nature item grants a fixed resource boost category and rolls one item from that food's loot pool. Percentages below are the published pool weights for the headline faces.

Prickly Pear is the food that can return a Snap Hook. Apricot and Fruit Mix are the reactor lanes. Mushroom is the only feed that can return Augments. Agave is the attachment lane, including the Kinetic Converter roll at 0.11% that slots onto stock and ARC Raiders Amplified Weapon frames after Gunsmith Amplification unlocks.

Rare Feeding Faces at a Glance

Pool weights below 1% sit behind long queues. A full Feed queue holds up to six of one food; each qualifying six-minute raid consumes one from the front.

Fruit Mix Craft Steps

Fruit Mix is an in-raid craft. It does not craft at the Workshop benches in Speranza. The Survival skill tree needs In-Round Crafting unlocked before the recipe appears topside.

Blue Gate Olive Grove holds lemon, apricot, and olive trees in one pocket. Dam Victory Ridge and Buried City south cactus belts supply Prickly Pear for the Mix recipe.

Upgrade Path Versus Feeding Path

The two systems share Nature items, so the same Dam and Blue Gate loops supply both bills.

Food type maps to reward lane: Apricot to gun parts and reactors, Agave to attachments, Mushroom to shields and Augments, Prickly Pear to utility and Snap Hook, Lemon to explosives, Olives to medical items, Fruit Mix to mixed high-tier stacks including reactors.

Nature Stocks Shared Across Upgrade and Feed

Lemons, apricots, prickly pears, olives, mushrooms, and agave sit on both Scrappy upgrade bills and the Feed tab. The same stack can clear a level gate or fill a feed queue; once spent on one job, it is gone from the other.

Dog Collar, Cat Bed, and Very Comfortable Pillows drop on the same residential circuits: Dam Pale Apartments and Ruby Residence; Buried City Santa Maria Houses, Plaza Rosa, and Grandioso Apartments; Blue Gate Village, Raider's Refuge, Ruined Homestead, and Abandoned Housing Project. Those three junk items gate Level 2, Level 4, and Level 5.

New passive drops stop landing while Scrappy storage sits full. A queued feed counts only after a raid of at least six minutes topside; shorter runs leave that food unspent at the front of the queue.

Lemons, apricots, pears, olives, and mushrooms also appear on Workshop station bills outside Scrappy. Those sinks compete with Scrappy Level 3–5 costs and with Feed consumption for the same Nature items.
