ARC Raiders: Lush Blooms Event Explained

by

In ARC Raiders, Lush Blooms is a randomly occurring event found throughout the Rust Belt maps. When it happens, it significantly increases the amount of Nature items players can find across the entire map. Let’s take a look at how it works.

This special event won’t last long, so players should get ready now to understand what’s happening and find all the bonus rewards. This guide provides everything you need to know about the Lush Blooms event and how to get the most out of it in ARC Raiders.

When Is The Lush Blooms Map Modifier Available in ARC Raiders

In ARC Raiders, a special event called Lush Blooms can happen unexpectedly in the Blue Gate, Spaceport, Buried City, or Dam Battlegrounds areas. When it does, for the next 45 minutes, players who play in those locations will find more Nature items when looting.

Growing Plants, Trees, and using Containers will now produce more natural resources like Lemons, Apricots, Seeds, and Agave. However, players sometimes find it unclear how to actually take advantage of this increased production.

As a long-time player, let me tell you, finding Nature items can be tough! It’s not every container that gives them out. You really have to look for the Wicker Baskets, and those are the hardest to spot. They’re tiny and blend right in with the ground because of their light brown color, so you’ve got to be really observant!

You’ll find baskets near marked Nature POIs. Like most loot in ARC Raiders, they’re more likely to appear in areas that match the POI’s theme.

  • In Dam Battlegrounds, the ideal POI to farm during Lush Blooms is the Hydroponic Dome Complex.
  • Dam Battlegrounds also has various Apricot farming spots in the islands scattered across the Red Lake.
  • In Blue Gate, the best spot to get more yield during this map modifier is the Olive Grove.
  • The next best hotspot in Blue Gate is Traper’s Glade.

During the Lush Blooms event, interacting with trees and plants has a chance to give you bonus Fruits, Mushrooms, or Plants! You might get two or three items instead of just one each time. Just remember, after interacting with a tree, you’ll need to collect the dropped fruits from the ground, meaning it takes two actions to fully gather everything.

Lush Blooms events are a great way for players to make progress on Step 5/6 of the Expeditions Project. This step requires collecting 150,000 worth of Supplies, and Lush Blooms offer a good source for that.

Plants, seeds, fruits, and similar items from nature, along with Trinkets and Blueprints, all count as Supplies. Players generally want to focus on collecting the most valuable items, and these natural products are among the most profitable things you can find in the game.

Okay, so I’ve figured out a pretty good way to make coins in Dam Battlegrounds. You can sell a stack of 10 Apricots for 6400 coins, and usually, I can grab about 2 stacks per run on a normal map. But when the ‘Lush Blooms’ event is active, that number doubles! Seriously, when that map modifier pops up, you absolutely have to jump in and farm apricots – it’s the best way to boost your coin earnings.
