Olives are an uncommon Nature item in ARC Raiders. They weigh 0.2kg, stack up to 10, and restore 20 stamina when consumed.

They are mainly used to upgrade your rooster companion Scrappy from level III to IV, requiring 6 Olives, 6 Prickly Pears, and 1 Cat Bed.

You can also recycle them into 2 Assorted Seeds.

Primary Location: Olive Grove on Blue Gate Map

Olives only spawn naturally on the Blue Gate map, one of the tougher late-game areas unlocked after several raids. Head to the Olive Grove in the southern part of the map.

This grove is marked clearly on the map and features clusters of olive trees. Expect heavy PVP traffic since players farm here for olives, lemons, apricots, and quests like "With a Trace" or "A First Foothold".

How to Spot and Collect Olives

  • Olive Trees: Larger than lemon/apricot trees, with thick dark green crowns, ancient-looking trunks, wiry/uneven branches, and muted leaves.
  • Spawn: 1 to 4 olives drop on the ground below each tree (not guaranteed). They are tiny and blend in; approach closely to see a white circle indicator.
  • Interact: Kick or shake trees (use interact prompt if available) to drop extras.
  • Best Method: Do a full loop around each tree's base, especially outskirts of the grove. Yields 4 to 10+ per run with luck.

ARC drones (Wasp, Hornet, Rocketeer) and Leapers patrol nearby.

Alternative Method: Lush Blooms Event

Check the raid selection screen for the Lush Blooms modifier (active on any map, including easier ones like Dam Battlegrounds). It boosts Nature loot and spawns Wicker Baskets at Raider Camps with olives, lemons, apricots, mushrooms, etc. Often enough for a full Scrappy upgrade in 1 to 2 raids.

Lower PVP risk since baskets scatter across the map.

Farming Tips

Tip Details
Loadout Use cheap gear or Free Loadout. Prioritize Safe Pocket augment to auto-salvage olives on death.
PVP Grove is camped (e.g., snipers on Ancient Fort roof). Team up, sneak, or gear up. Extract quickly via nearby points.
Efficiency Set waypoint to Grove on load-in. Combine with Blue Gate quests. Restart raids for respawns.
Events Lush Blooms > Blue Gate for beginners. Cold Snap may help too (per community).
