In Arc Raiders, Prickly Pears are a unique fruit crucial for upgrading Scrappy the Rooster. However, the game doesn’t make it easy to pinpoint their locations, making them tricky to find if you’re not sure where to look. Luckily, I’ve gathered some tips on where to locate Prickly Pears and how to farm them efficiently.

You can find Prickly Pears beneath specific cacti in the Buried City and Dam Battlegrounds maps, though their appearance can be unpredictable due to the game’s randomization. We’ve marked confirmed locations on both maps where Prickly Pears and their spiky cactus counterparts can be found. While there may be additional spots, these are the ones we’ve verified as reliable drop points.

They also have a slim chance of appearing in any Nature area, particularly in containers while searching. Although the odds are low, you might stumble upon them in places like Marano Park in Buried City. Once you collect them, be sure to stash them in your Safe Pocket—unless you’re using a free loadout in Arc Raiders.
