Lush Blooms may have been something you noticed while playing ARC Raiders. Or if you are a new player, it’s yet to be discovered. The extraction shooter has many things to learn within it. Some that I’m even learning to this day. And being able to have some of these things in your wheelhouse can make the game that much easier. Or even more fun, as it leaves you more prepared. Such as preparing for new Expeditions. When it comes to Lush Blooms, it’s not something for any player to overlook. With this guide, we are here to help you get an idea of what Lush Blooms is in ARC Raiders. And why it’s so important to join in on it.

What is Lush Blooms?

Lush Blooms is a map condition that players can join in ARC Raiders. It increases the amount of Nature loot that spawns within the map. Additionally, the spawns for Nature materials are more frequent. Therefore, items like Apricots, Lemons, and even Mushrooms are more present. The modifier is one that players can join on different maps, such as Blue Gate, Buried City, Dam Battlegrounds, and Spaceport.

It’s different from other map modifiers as it’s one that is part of the standard map selection options. What this means is that when you are picking a map, Lush Blooms is in the “top orb” when selecting that location. Whereas the lower selection includes modifiers like Hurricane and Night Raids. You can see if the location has Lush Blooms by hovering over it; besides labeling it, the symbol will tell you. The modifier’s symbol for this particular one is a couple of leaves.

Why is Lush Blooms An Important Modifier in ARC Raiders?

Lush Blooms are important because Nature items can be tricky to get. And to fully level up Scrappy, you need various items from the Nature pool. While you can get them without the modifier, this event can help you get plenty more. Because Scrappy can help you find more materials, maxing out the iconic companion is vital. The following are the Nature items that Scrappy needs:

  • Level 2 Upgrade
    • 3x Lemons
    • 3x Apricots
  • Level 3 Upgrade
    • 6x Prickly Pears
    • 6x Olives
  • Level 4 Upgrade
    • 12x Mushrooms
    • 12x Apricots

As you can see, there are plenty of Nature-focused items that Scrappy requires to fully level up. Therefore, joining a Lush Blooms event can make matters easier. For example, I have found over seven Mushrooms during one run of it. Nearly finishing that step of Scrappy in the process. Whereas there are times when I can only find two to three during a run. Lush Blooms is a much simpler and less risky modifier to do in ARC Raiders. But it has its use, and players should definitely hop into one when it’s present.
