When you first enter the Topside during a raid in Arc Raiders, you’ll be overwhelmed by the wide variety of loot you can find. These items have different rarity levels, but some items without a clear rarity are actually among the hardest to obtain.
Prickly Pears are a prime example. You need six of them to upgrade your Scrappy, and they can also be used to restore stamina during a raid. Depending on your luck, collecting these Pears could take hours, especially if you’re not sure where to look.
How To Get Prickly Pears
To find Prickly Pears, you’ll want to focus on specific plants located in the Dam Battleground and Buried City maps. Unlike other resources, these plants don’t spawn in fixed spots; instead, they are scattered in small patches across these two maps.
Look for cactus-like plants with spiky leaves, which stand out from other flora. When you spot these plants, check the ground nearby — there’s a chance a Pear will be lying there. However, the spawn rate is low, so you might need to do several runs to find what you’re after. Also, keep in mind that another raider may have already collected them before you.
On low graphics settings, these cactus plants can resemble ordinary plants from a distance, so it’s important to get close for a proper look.
Best Locations To Get Prickly Pears
While cactus plants with Pears can be found all over both maps, some areas have larger groups, increasing your chances of finding them.
Dam Battleground Prickly Pear Locations
There are two main spots in Dam Battleground for Prickly Pears:
1. On the northern side of the map, to the left of Power Generation Complex. If you look at the map, you’ll see it near where the two main roads meet at the top.
2. Just below the Research & Administration area, on the map’s southern side, once you exit the red line boundary.
Buried City Prickly Pear Locations
Buried City offers better chances, with several good spots:
1. A large cluster of cacti near the very southern edge of the map. Head south from the Old Town’s southernmost yellow boundary to find it.
2. Another group is located on the eastern side near the spawn point.
3. You can also find additional plants in the northeastern part of the map, close to some buildings.
