ARC Raiders Flashpoint update added a feeding mechanic to Scrappy, making Fruit Storage truly effective. Feeding Scrappy the right food increases resource acquisition and offers a chance to unlock rare loot drops after each raid.
This guide will walk you through how to utilize the feeding mechanic in ARC Raiders Flashpoint update to gain more of the resources you need.
How to feed Scrappy?
Starting the feeding system takes less than a minute once you know how. First, go to Workshop, select Scrappy from the menu, and then switch to Feed tab. Here, you can select any food from your stash and add it to your queue. Scrappy will eat these foods in sequence, one per raid, and continue to receive the bonus from that food throughout the raid.
After each raid, remember to check Scrappy's Collection Box. Because the box has limited capacity, you'll need to periodically dispose of unwanted items to make room for the next harvest.
Scrappy can be fed from level 1. Leveling up Scrappy directly increases the quality of the feeding rewards it brings back.
