CoD Black Ops 6: What Controller Settings Make The Game Operation Process More Comfortable?

In The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, released in 2017 and winning numerous awards, the non-linear exploration mode often leads to players wanting to reach a specific location but wandering aimlessly around the map, especially Great Fairy Fountains, which are scattered throughout Hyrule continent.

As the game progresses and your character level increases, the difficulty of the monster encounters and challenges you face will also increase. Therefore, you will definitely need to find Great Fairy Fountain and invest a certain number of Rupees to upgrade Link's armor, thereby greatly improving his defense.

In theory, finding all Great Fairy Fountains is not a necessary condition for completing the main mission, but if you want to reach 100% completion of the entire game, then the process is well worth it. In conclusion, understanding the specific locations of each Fountain and the precautions to take from this guide is essential for every player in BotW.

Precautions

Although each Great Fairy resides within a giant, enclosed flower, the nearby Fountain can be seen from a distance via the orange glowing path leading to them. As you maneuver Link closer, the music from this interactive pool grows louder, making them easier to find. However, don't rush to interact with it yet. 

Instead, collect some Fairies, which are Zelda Breath of the Wild items used for resurrection in the mid-to-late game: if you unfortunately die, the fairy will restore your health to five hearts instead of ending it immediately. In addition, each Fairy Fountain is surrounded by specific herbs, and you can use them to make food and potions to restore health and stamina.

Next, let's begin searching for each Great Fairy Fountain.

No.1

The first Great Fairy Fountain you can unlock is located near Kakariko Village, which is the exploration area included in the first main quest you receive in The Legend of Zelda: BotW. Here, you'll need to speak with a painter named Pikango, who is usually located in the center of town, between Impa's house and Goddess Statue.

Interacting with this NPC will give you the location of your first Fountain; they might even try to guide you to its exact location. Along the way, you can rest at Ta’loh Naeg Shrine if you get tired, then continue along the path deeper into the forest to find Great Fairy Fountain.

Midway through the journey, Pikango will temporarily quit and ask you to take a picture of Great Fairy Fountain for him. This requires you to use a Sheikah Slate with a Camera Rune, which can be obtained at Hateno Ancient Tech Lab in Hateno Village. After completing this NPC quest, you will be able to interact with this location.

Don't forget to collect Blue Nightshade and Silent Princess flowers, as these are essential materials for Link to upgrade his Stealth Armor. Consuming food made from them will enhance Link's stealth abilities, allowing him to effectively evade the dangers lurking across Hyrule.

No.2

The second Great Fairy Fountain can be found in Akkala region, which is where you are required to build Tarrey Town in one of the longest side quests in the game. Because the area is so small, you can easily find Fountain hidden in a small grove of trees on the cliffs by the lake.

Alternatively, one could use the nearby Dah Hesho Shrine as a landmark, with Fountain located to its northeast. After discovering Great Fairy Fountain, first harvest the growing Amoranth; cooking it will significantly increase Link's defense.

No.3

The next Great Fairy Fountain is located in Tabantha region of TLoZ Breath of the Wild, which requires you to cross Tabantha Great Bridge first. However, Fountain here will have Guardian Skywatchers preventing you from entering, so challenging them will be the first challenge you face when interacting with it.

It's worth noting that the third Fountain requires an investment of 1,000 Rupees. Therefore, to enhance your character more smoothly, you can first go to Toren on Tabantha Bridge Stable to accept A Gift for the Great Fairy side quest, which will reward you with 500 Rupees.

Once you've collected enough in-game currency, you can climb the cliffs of Piper Ridge and head north, which will allow you to easily glide to Great Fairy Fountain without being detected by Guardian Skywatchers. Near this Fountain, you should pay attention to Mighty Thistles, which will provide you with some attack power boosts.

No.4

The final Great Fairy Fountain will appear beneath a giant Leviathan skeleton in the southwest corner of the map. To save time and stamina, you can teleport directly to Hawa Koth Shrine, which is near this Fountain. But according to some players' comments in the community, some Shrines are located deep within the desert, some distance from the interaction pool. You can check your game interface for specific details.

However, it’s worth mentioning in advance that unlocking the opportunity to interact with Great Fairy Fountain requires a Sand Seal, which generally only appears in later game content. Therefore, this last chance to upgrade armor and defense can be saved for after completing the game to finish other less important side quests.

After you’ve gone through all the hardships to find and unlock it, make sure to collect Cool, Warm, and Electric Safflina around it. These will increase Link’s survivability in cold, hot, and electric environments, respectively, making your character fearless in the fight against Calamity Ganon.

Above is a list of the locations of the Great Fairy Fountains in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, along with important notes for each step. Compared to simply using food or crafting materials to slightly improve defense, this seemingly troublesome but actually worthwhile exploration process is well worth it. Have fun playing!

As Nintendo’s proudest exclusive game series, The Legend of Zelda has always been considered one of the best action-adventure games by many players who enjoy non-linear exploration, especially Tears of the Kingdom, which is among the best of the best.

Even today, many new players are eager to try their luck and create their own legend on the continent of Hyrule. If you’re one of them, then the comprehensive beginner’s guide to The Legend of Zelda TotK is a must-read. With the help here, you will no longer lose your way.

1. Prepare Archaic Warm Greaves in Advance

Upon first entering Zelda Tears of the Kingdom, you will be teleported to Great Sky Island to familiarize yourself with the game mechanics. This is the initial tutorial area where you will probably spend 1-2 hours exploring. Here, your first challenge is how to keep Link’s body temperature in the cold game environment.

Many new players will choose to consume Spicy Peppers and sunshrooms or use healing potions made from other TLoZ TOTK items such as warm darner dragonflies, but these only provide temporary relief. The most direct method is to find some clothing, such as Archaic Warm Greaves from the area.

This warm item requires you to first traverse the snow-covered, frigid eastern part of the island and reach Gutanbac Shrine to obtain Ascend ability, which can be used on a wooden platform extending from a huge hollow tree trunk atop the mountain outside the shrine.

In the corner of this, you will find a green zonaite chest, which contains Archaic Warm Greaves. Under its protection, all freezing effects in the basic cold regions can be automatically eliminated; combined with some other methods of keeping warm just introduced, you can easily survive the coldest environment on the island.

2. Focus on every Zonai Device Dispenses

For beginners, Zonai Devices might be a bit unfamiliar. It is a general term for the items and devices that Link can use in the game, including fans, gliders, and portable cooking pots. These devices usually appear in various locations as combat drops or wreckage, but the most effective way to use them is to summon them at any time using Dispenses.

These large spheres, which look like toy machines, are filled with capsules. You can easily obtain some by defeating Constructs or looting broken relics as long as you invest in Zonai Charges, which are essential materials for each summon. By the way, you don’t need to worry about collecting too many capsules, as there is no limit to the number you can carry in your bag.

Before heading from Great Sky Islan to the surface, be sure to interact with the two dispensers in the area to acquire more items such as fans, which they can use when they encounter abandoned vehicles that need help to push, and hang gliders, which are convenient for traversing between the sky islands.

It’s worth noting that each Device Dispenser offers a limited variety of devices, so you should always keep an eye out for device transmitters throughout Hyrule continent to ensure you have access to a wider range of devices in any situation.

3. Prioritize Completing Main Story Quest

After exploring the tutorial area, you’ll arrive at Kingdom of Hyrule, a vast area with no invisible walls obstructing your movement. However, before proceeding, complete Crisis at Hyrule Castle quest. This is an early brief adventure in The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom, which requires you to thoroughly search the remains left on the surface of Hyrule Castle.

During this process, you will encounter very few enemies, and as long as you are equipped with a high-level TOTK weapon, you will not be threatened. After dealing with them briefly, head to First Gatehouse and Dining Hall, where you can find plenty of resources and crafting materials. However, the benefits this quest brings you are far more than that.

There are more high-value rewards to collect in Guard’s Chamber, but there is a guard standing outside the room who will not let you in until you advance the story. If you want to skip the story and sneak over directly, you can look for the balcony on the ridge above the city gate tower, which could pose a risk of falling, please be careful. Once you get close to the entrance of Guard’s Chamber, the two powerful Black Bokoblins will begin attacking you. 

At this point, your only option is to run. Run along the left-hand corridor to the second passage on the left, and they will stop chasing you. After entering the room, go directly to the right, go around the broken stairs and climb to the back of the room. Then, use Ultrahand to build a temporary bridge to reach the corner, where you will find a treasure chest containing Royal Guard Uniform, which will give you 4 Defense.

4. Get Horse

In the early stages of the game, it’s difficult to build a car or learn to fly using the available materials. Therefore, a reliable horse is essential for navigating the surface. Normally, you can find a horse colony west of Lookout Landing. Please note that these horses are very easily startled, so please slow down when approaching them or simply jump from a nearby tower to launch an airstrike.

Although air raids may startle them, it’s easy to handle; simply use your remaining stamina to hold down L button to calm them down. If you run out of stamina, you can use stamina-restoring food before an air raid. Once you have tamed the horse, you can drive it to Riverside Stable in the southeast and settle it there.

As you progress through the game, the more new locations you visit, the more horses you board, and the more rewards you can obtain from Stables. By the way, if you’re a big fan of the series and own Breath of the Wild, all the horses you board there will be kept and ready for you to ride.

Above are four things that new players should pay special attention to in The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom, along with their corresponding details. Of course, the risks and challenges in this open world with its non-linear quests don’t stop there; the rest is up to you to explore with Link. Have fun playing!

In the perilous Rust Belt of ARC Raiders, survival is a constant battle, with hostile forces, deadly traps, and extreme environmental challenges lurking around every corner. Any ill-equipped player can be mercilessly eliminated in an instant.

To progress in this wasteland, players must equip themselves with the best weapon systems, the most robust protective gear, and the necessary materials to upgrade their weapons, giving them a fighting chance in intense firefights and resource struggles.

However, acquiring these top-tier weapons and equipment in the game is difficult. Players often need to invest a significant amount of time exploring, collecting, and crafting to obtain even one or two ideal pieces of equipment.

In such a demanding game environment, a detailed and reliable guide is crucial. This article will introduce various methods for finding, crafting, and acquiring the best weapons in ARC Raiders, helping new players navigate the challenging initial stages.

Looting

First, let’s introduce the most traditional method: searching the map. While this method is time-consuming and dangerous, it also helps you understand the map environment better and is the most direct way to explore.

1. Finding High-Value Areas

Each map has areas marked with red borders, usually located in the dangerous central areas of the map. These rooms may contain high-level ARC Raiders Items, including weapons and keycards. Note that these high-value areas do not respawn regularly, so you should go there early to collect items before others snatch them up.

2. Using Keycards

In ARC Raiders, keycards can unlock rooms containing valuable resources and high-level weapons. Here, you can acquire highly accurate sniper rifles or powerful automatic assault rifles.

However, be aware that keycards are often hidden in high-value areas or various hidden corners of the map. They are not easy to find. Using them at the right time requires careful planning.

3. Searching Weapon Crates

Weapon crates may also contain valuable materials or high-level firearms. Their spawn locations are very unpredictable; you can use the in-game interactive map to track their most likely locations.

Crafting

When you look at ARC Raiders weapon rankings, you’ll find that many top-performing firearms are quite common, with Ferro and Anvil, frequently used in both PvE and PvP modes, having a very high drop rate.

This is because in the game, better doesn’t necessarily mean rarer. You need to study each weapon and know which gun is best suited for which situation, so you can craft a more suitable equipment combination using the materials you already have in your inventory.

Besides scavenging for weapons on the ground, you can also craft high-performance weapons at Speranza’s home. Here are some common methods:

1. Upgrading Gunsmith Station

Upgrading the advanced Gunsmith is a crucial strategic investment. It not only significantly improves your weapon crafting capabilities but also unlocks more powerful and advanced weapons, such as Renegade and Hullcracker. Therefore, investing in upgrading Gunsmith is essential.

However, upgrading Gunsmith Station requires a large amount of materials. These materials need to be obtained by completing high-risk missions, exploring dangerous areas, or defeating powerful enemies, which may require some time and effort to collect.

2. Upgrading Ferro

Ferro is considered one of the most practical weapons in ARC Raiders and can be crafted at Gunsmith Station using common and easily obtainable materials. Furthermore, it supports upgrades and modifications to further improve reload speed and durability, significantly enhancing overall performance.

3. Making Good Use of Weapon Attachments

Weapon attachments are very important in the game. A compensator can greatly reduce weapon recoil, allowing you to shoot more stably and accurately. Therefore, making full use of common attachments is crucial; often a small attachment can greatly improve a weapon’s performance.

Easier Methods

If you find the early-game resource and equipment gathering too troublesome, you can also use the following simpler methods:

1. Trading Seeds for Blueprints

Weapon Blueprints are a crucial resource that can help you craft rarer weapons. However, obtaining these Blueprints is difficult; they are often hidden in the most dangerous areas of the map and have a very low drop rate.

But you can also post on forums to trade seeds that activate special missions and other functions with advanced players for their extra Blueprints, which can save you a lot of time.

2. Obtaining Weapons from Merchants

One trader in ARC Raiders, Tian Wen, is Speranza’s weaponsmith, skilled in crafting various powerful weapons. You can obtain high-level weapons such as the Anvil, Renegade, or IL Torro from her using ARC Raiders Coins.

3. Complete Harvester Event

If you want to quickly obtain high-level weapons from raids, you can check out Harvester Event. Completing this event will reward you with blueprints for two legendary weapons: Equalizer and Jupiter.

4. Enter Stella Montis with Free Gear

Stella Montis is one of the main PvP maps in ARC Raiders. If you don’t have much gear, you can enter the map with free equipment and acquire weapons from defeated players. Many experienced PvP players focus primarily on their opponents’ upgraded gear, so there are often a lot of abandoned equipment remnants left on the battlefield.

Therefore, you can quickly pick up high-value weapons and attachments after the battle ends, allowing you to acquire advanced firearms more quickly.

These methods are very suitable for players who are new to ARC Raiders. If you want to quickly overcome the initial stage of having inferior equipment and insufficient firepower, and want to gain an advantage in PvP, you can try these methods; they will provide significant help.

Since its release in June, Black Ops 7‘s season is nearing its end. Various limited-time events, challenges, and reward systems are entering their final stages. Many players are rushing to complete unfinished challenges to obtain all the rewards and resources for this season.

However, completing all the tasks this season is difficult. The season‘s Easter egg, Astra Malorum, is extremely complex and difficult.

The two core bosses in the mission, O.S.C.A.R. and Caltheris, possess a unique infinite respawn mechanism. Even if you successfully defeat them once, they will return to the battlefield after a brief delay in a stronger state, with increased health, attack power, and skill frequency with each respawn, making them very difficult to defeat.

To help you more easily face these tough bosses, this guide will introduce the 5 strongest weapon setups in BO7 for your use.

Best M15 Mod 0 Assault Rifle Setup

The first weapon to introduce is M15 Mod 0. It‘s an assault rifle, but its accuracy far surpasses that of other rifles, and its mobility is far superior to that of typical submachine guns. So if you want to dominate the arena, choosing this gun is definitely the right choice.

To better utilize this gun, we need to change some configurations. First, to precisely control the vertical and horizontal recoil of M15 Mod 0, you need to add a Compensator and a Recoil Control Foregrip to the gun. With these two attachments, the gun will hardly shake, allowing for more accurate shooting.

To better engage in long-range combat, we need to install a Hybrid Barrel, which increases bullet range and speed, making the gun‘s performance even better.

For the magazine, we choose 45 rounds instead of 60. Although this number of rounds might seem insufficient, you don‘t have to worry about too many bullets reducing the gun‘s aiming speed and sprint to-fire speed. In actual combat, 45 rounds are perfectly sufficient, making it the ideal magazine size.

After setting up the above configurations, we then choose Wander-3V Stock to further improve our aiming speed, allowing for quick strafing, making it harder for enemies to target us in combat. Up to this point, M15 Mod 0 is practically invincible. It boasts extremely high accuracy, a very clear sight picture, and simple operation. Although the developers weakened its power in a new patch, this gun remains the top choice for both new and veteran players.

Best Maddox RFB Assault Rifle Setup

Maddox RFB is also a fully automatic assault rifle. Its firepower increases with every two shots fired, although accuracy decreases. Therefore, the first step is to install Lethal Tools ELO, which provides a wider field of view and a clearer sight picture.

For the muzzle and underbarrel attachments, we still use Compensator and Recoil Control Foregrip, but we no longer use Hybrid Barrel.

As mentioned above, this gun‘s firepower increases with the number of shots fired, so bullet velocity doesn‘t need to be increased. To gain an advantage at long range and achieve a larger damage radius, we should choose Long Barrel.

Regarding the magazine, because of Maddox RFB‘s top rate of fire, the 40-round magazine will seem insufficient. Here, I recommend the 50-round extended magazine.

To allow us to quickly raise the gun and fire whether we‘re diving or sliding, we need to further improve the aiming speed. Here, we choose Mobile Quickdraw Comb for the rear grip, which makes our shooting faster and more accurate.

To better dodge enemy bullets while shooting, we choose ADS Movement Stock for the stock, which makes the overall movement speed of this gun faster. Because Maddox RFB has significantly higher recoil than M15 Mod 0, we also need to use Recoil Spring to make the gun more stable.

Since we need to install 8 attachments on this gun, you‘ll need to equip Gunfighter to install the extra three attachments. But trust me, this gun is absolutely worth using Gunfighter to equip all the attachments I recommend; its powerful performance in the game will definitely make you feel it‘s worth the investment.

Best X9 Maverick Assault Rifle Setup

X9 Maverick is an assault rifle that fires in three-round bursts. It can inflict significant damage, and its recoil is not as high as the previous two rifles. However, its handling is average, making it suitable for a more conservative playstyle. To give X9 Maverick a clearer sight picture, we still choose Lethal Tools ELO as its scope, further improving the gun‘s aiming accuracy and precision in combat.

A common problem with 3-round burst rifles is that the recoil from the first shot is very strong, and the accuracy is lower compared to subsequent shots. To control the vertical recoil of this gun, we installed a Muzzle Brake, which can counteract some of the recoil energy at the moment of firing, making aiming more stable.

For the barrel, we still choose Long Barrel. It not only increases the damage range but also increases the magazine capacity to 45 rounds, reducing reload time–a win-win situation.

Because X9 Maverick‘s handling is not as good as other guns, we also need to equip a Quickdraw Grip and Recoil Spring to make the gun more responsive and allow for quick strikes against enemies.

With these five attachments, X9 Maverick can not only shoot accurately but also deliver strong damage, easily eliminating enemies at any distance.

Best Ryden 45K Setup

Ryden 45K is the first submachine gun you unlock in the game. For beginners, it might be a bit difficult to control, but with diligent practice, you will surely master it.

If you don‘t want this gun to affect your ranking and gaming experience in actual combat, you can buy CoD Black Ops 7 Bot Lobbies from EZG.com for more efficient and targeted combat training to improve your proficiency with Ryden 45K. Once you can use it skillfully, I believe you will fall in love with it.

For the muzzle, we choose Compensator to control vertical recoil. Ryden 45K excels in close-quarters combat, so we choose Hybrid Barrel to further enhance its accuracy within its effective range.

For underbarrel attachments, I recommend choosing Recoil Control Foregrip and Recoil Spring. This will greatly improve its original problem of excessive recoil, making shooting more accurate. Finally, we use a 40-round magazine to compensate for the rapid ammunition consumption caused by the submachine gun‘s high rate of fire.

Besides these attachments, this gun doesn‘t need any other accessories. Of course, if you want, you can also choose ADS Movement Stock to improve recoil stability and damage range. However, I think 5 attachments are enough for you to use it effectively. All you need to do is practice diligently and master it quickly.

Best Dravec 45 Setup

Although Black Ops 7 isn‘t a game primarily focused on submachine guns, DRAVEC 45 can easily compete with assault rifles at long range, and it‘s one of my favorite submachine guns in the game.

For the muzzle, barrel, grip, and stock, our choices are the same as Maddox RFB: Compensator, Long Barrel, Mobile Quickdraw Comb, and ADS Movement Stock.

Because you‘ll definitely be engaging in long-range firefights in BO7, and submachine guns have a very short effective range, Long Barrel and Mobile Quickdraw Comb can maximize the damage range of Dravec 45, making this gun more powerful and allowing you to kill enemies faster.

The magazine choices are more diverse. You can take full advantage of Dravec 45‘s lighter weight as a submachine gun and choose a 30-round magazine, which will result in faster reloading and aiming speed, and more accurate sprint firing.

Of course, you can also keep the original 36-round magazine and instead add a Recoil Spring, which will also make the gun more accurate.

Above are the five strongest weapons I‘ve experienced in CoD: Black Ops 7 and the recommended attachments to improve their performance. Now, go try them out and enjoy the thrill of intense gunfights and high kill counts!

Scrappy, your noisy and enthusiastic companion in ARC Raiders, regularly goes out to gather resources while you're on raids, and I believe no one can dislike him.

This rooster will give you a big surprise when he returns home after your raid, with resources he's collected throughout the map, including Metal Parts, Chemicals, and various Seeds - all extra income for you in the game.

Scrappy can also be trained and upgraded in the game. If you want to improve his speed and quality of resource gathering, you must improve his plundering ability. Next, I will introduce Scrappy's upgrade information and where to obtain the necessary resources for upgrades.

Levels And Required Resources

Scrappy has different levels in ARC Raiders, and specific resources are required to advance to the next level.

• Fledgling: This is its initial tier;
• Forager: 1 Dog Collar;
• Scavenger: 3 Lemons, 3 Apricots;
• Treasure Hunter: 6 Prickly Pears, 6 Olives, 1 Cat Bed;
• Master Hoarder: 12 Mushrooms, 12 Apricots, 3 Very Comfortable Pillows.

Dog Collar Drop Locations

Dog Collars are rare items favored by Scrappy. Unlike most items on the list, they don't have a fixed drop location, so you might need to search several containers, preferably near residential areas.

You can spend time searching carefully in these locations:

• The Blue Gate: Village, Ruined Homestead, Raider's Refuge;
• Buried City: Santa Maria Houses, Grandioso Apartments, Plaza Rosa, Red Tower;
• Dam Battlegrounds: Pale Apartments, Ruby Residence.

Lemon Drop Locations

Lemons are obtained by interacting with lemon trees. You can kick the tree to make the lemons fall to the ground, which you can then pick up. Lemon trees are relatively small, like shrubs, with bright green leaves; you'll need to pay attention to them on the map.

You can find lemons in these locations:

• Buried City: Marano Park, Old Town;
• Spaceport: Staff Parking, East Plains;
• The Blue Gate: Olive Grove, Village, Ruined Homestead.

Among them, Olive Grove at The Blue Gate is the best place to obtain various fruits. Here you can find not only lemons, but also apricots and olives, making it a top choice. However, be aware that this area is quite open, and ARCs and other raiders frequently appear, so be careful.

Olive Drop Locations

Olives have very few drop locations among ARC Raiders. Besides spawning in Wicker Baskets, they can only be obtained on one map.

• The Blue Gate: Olive Grove, Checkpoint, Village.

You can usually find all the lemons and olives you need in Olive Grove. If you're still short, search the containers near the village.

Apricot Drop Locations

Apricots, like lemons, are obtained by shaking them off trees. When collecting apricots, try to pick as many as possible, as they are needed not only for Scrappy level 3 but also for the highest level.

Focus on these locations:

• Dam Battlegrounds: Red Lakes;
• Buried City: Marano Park;
• Spaceport: East Plains;
• The Blue Gate: Olive Grove, Village.

Marano Park in Buried City is my top recommendation, as it has many apricot trees and some lemon trees. If you're lucky, a diligent search on this map might yield all the lemons and apricots you need.

Prickly Pear Drop Locations

To upgrade your Scrappy to Treasure Hunter, you need 6 Prickly Pears. You can generally find Prickly Pears near cacti, but unlike other fruits, you can't obtain many through interaction. So, if you don't see Prickly Pears around, leave quickly to avoid wasting time.

Prickly Pear Distribution Locations:

• Dam Battlegrounds: Red Lakes, Victory Ridge;
• Buried City: South side of the map;
• Spaceport: East of Container Storage.

Buried City is a good choice because the cacti on this map spawn at the edge, away from the battlefield, making your search safer. There's a large cactus patch south of Plaza Rosa.

Mushroom Drop Locations

Mushrooms are a rare resource in the game, and their spawn locations are also limited. You can generally only find them on Dam Battlegrounds map.

• Dam Battlegrounds: Formicai Hills, Swamp, Hydroponic Dome Complex.

The easiest place to find mushrooms is in the forest on Formicai Hills in the south of the map, where there are Scrap Yards and Wreckages. Mushrooms like to grow near these two areas.

We actually recommend searching for mushrooms on maps with Lush Blooms map mod activated, as you'll find a large amount of natural loot and Wicker Baskets. Wicker Baskets, in particular, provide a large quantity of mushrooms, as well as lemons, apricots, and olives.

Cat Bed & Very Comfortable Pillow Drop Locations

Cat beds and Very Comfortable Pillows are similar items, generally found only in residential or commercial loot areas. The best location is in the urban area of Buried City. You can search house by house; with luck, you might find both a cat bed and a pillow.

• Dam Battlegrounds: Ruby Residence, Pale Apartments;
• Buried City: Santa Maria Houses, Plaza Rosa, Grandioso Apartments, Red Tower;
• The Blue Gate: Village, Ruined Homestead, Abandoned Housing Project.

Outside Red Tower in Buried City, there are usually two cabinets. These cabinets often spawn cat beds and pillows. I found both items in one of these cabinets; you can use this as a reference.

The above information covers all the items needed for Scrappy upgrades. Transform your rooster into a Master Hoarder as soon as possible! For those of you struggling with resource shortages in the early stages of Expedition, this is the best source of extra items!

If you find searching for upgrade items throughout the game inefficient, you can directly buy cheap and reliable ARC Raiders items from EZG. They have everything you need. And right now, there's a Christmas sale; use XMAS code for a 10% discount.

A new Expedition has begun, and this time the final reward will include an extra 5 skill points, meaning players will receive 81 skill points and 12 inventory slots. While the rewards aren’t particularly generous, they still attract many players to participate in the event.

For players who have already accumulated a large amount of equipment and resources, giving up all their previously acquired skills, equipment, and blueprints is not a big deal. After Expedition reset, they can re-experience the game, challenge themselves, and improve their gaming skills.

For new ARC Raiders players, the game will be easier and more enjoyable after numerous high-level players reset their progress.

However, this Expedition is quite difficult to complete, requiring an investment of 5 million coins. Many players are concerned about how to quickly obtain rewards and resources in Expedition, and this article will answer these questions.

Important Matters

In Buried City, your main task is not only to farm a lot of money, but also to continuously pay attention to Lush Blooms event. This event drops many natural Expedition Guide, such as fruits, herbs, and seeds.

If you want to synthesize equipment as early as possible, you must collect as many of these natural items as possible. They can help you level up at Scrappy’s, which will provide you with more materials - the raw materials you need to upgrade your equipment later.

After collecting enough materials, you can craft equipment. Looting Mk. 2 is definitely a priority target after the reset.

It only requires a level two equipment workbench to craft, and the materials are five Hornet drivers, three power cables, and five electrical components. It has 22 item slots, three accessory slots, and two Safe Pockets, making it ideal for collecting items and recouping funds. This will make farming money much easier in the later stages.

In addition, in the early stages of equipment upgrades, I recommend upgrading your workbenches. Because after upgrading Refiner, Gunsmith, and Gear Bench to level three, crafting and upgrading equipment, making things according to blueprints, and even crafting minor items like carabiners will be much easier.

Once your infrastructure is upgraded, you can more confidently search for coins.

Money Farming Route

Obtaining enough coins is essential throughout the entire Expedition. Arc Raiders Coins not only help you complete activities but also expand your inventory and allow you to purchase useful materials. Below, I’ll outline the fastest and easiest route to quickly collect more coins, blueprints, and other important items.

First, head to the small house to the right and slightly in front of Grandioso Apartment. You can jump in through the window and then check each floor for supplies.

After searching the third floor, you can jump from the third floor to the roof of the house directly in front of you, the one running north-south, which is the roof to the left of Santa Maria Houses. Of course, if you have exceptional jumping ability, you can try jumping directly into this house.

Entering through the right window of this house will begin your money-making journey.

Unlike earning coins by completing tasks on the map, this money-making route involves obtaining ARC Powercells from Arc Enemies. One of these materials and two batteries can generate energy ammo worth up to 5,000 coins. Even if you don’t generate ammo, ARC Powercells will significantly enhance your gameplay experience while running around the map.

As you collect coins, remember not to overlook the metal parts scattered on the ground, as these are one of the most important basic materials. We must rebuild our wealth, so every part must be cherished.

Once you’ve completed these steps, I believe your financial situation will gradually improve, and your inventory space will increase. You can focus on Cold Snap. This is a limited-time event where your chances of obtaining high-level loot increase. So, if you have sufficient funds and equipment, you can definitely try this event.

Some players believe that Cold Snap is very effective for farming blueprints, especially in Blue Gate map, where the chance of getting blueprints is very high, even after the developers nerfed the blueprint drop rate. Therefore, if you want to quickly regain your blueprints, Cold Snap is definitely the event you should participate in.

Weapons

At the beginning of Expedition, because everything is reset, everyone will focus on completing tasks, and those who haven’t been reset mostly won’t bother attacking those who have just been reset, as they won’t get much loot. Therefore, the recommended weapon here is the Pharaoh. It’s inexpensive to craft, requiring only 5 metal parts and 2 rubber parts. Upgrading it is also very simple, basically only requiring metal and mechanical parts, so even if you’ve just reset your progress, collecting these materials won’t be too difficult.

This easily obtainable weapon not only performs remarkably well in PvE battles, allowing you to take on Arc Enemies, but it can also be combined with another easily obtainable weapon, Stitcher, for PvP combat. I frequently used these two weapons in the early stages of the game, so I’m very familiar with their power and highly recommend them.

The above covers some important aspects of Expedition, including money-farming routes and essential weapons. Hopefully, this will help you progress smoothly in the game instead of constantly feeling lost.
