Where to Find Prickly Pear in ARC Raiders

ARC Raiders is a third-person extraction shooter that became the best-selling game on Steam in November 2025. The game's rapid rise in popularity earned it a nomination for Best Multiplayer Game at The Game Awards, solidifying its position as one of the year's breakout titles.

You go into raids to scavenge loot and resources. Prickly Pears are one of these resources. While they're consumables, they serve purposes beyond just basic healing or sustenance. In this article, we'll explore where you can find Prickly Pears in every map and what they're used for.

How to Get Prickly Pear

Prickly Pears spawn on the ground near cacti throughout the maps. They're not available everywhere, only in specific locations:

• Buried City

• Dam Battlegrounds

Once you spot a Prickly Pear, simply walk up to it and pick it up. The Lush Blooms map condition significantly increases your chances of finding Prickly Pears. This condition boosts natural resources across the map, making cacti and their surrounding Prickly Pears appear more frequently. If you're specifically farming these items, wait for Lush Blooms to appear in the rotation for better results.

1. Buried City

Buried City has a reliable spot for collecting Prickly Pears. The area contains multiple cacti with several Prickly Pears scattered on the ground around them.

Head just south of Plaza Rosa. You'll find a group of cacti clustered together in this location. Walk around the cacti and check the ground carefully. The Prickly Pears spawn near the base of the plants, so circle the entire cactus group to collect all available items.

2. Dam Battlegrounds

Dam Battlegrounds has another spot for Prickly Pears, though it yields fewer than the Buried City location. The spot still provides a decent amount if you're in the area.

Head southwest of the Research & Administration building. Before entering the building, you'll find a small group of cacti. Walk around this cactus cluster and check the ground for Prickly Pears. The spawn rate here is lower, but it's worth checking if you're passing through this section of the map.

Final Words

Prickly Pears are found in Buried City and Dam Battlegrounds near cacti clusters. The Buried City spot south of Plaza Rosa offers the best yield, while Dam Battlegrounds provides a smaller amount southwest of the Research & Administration building. Focus your farming efforts during Lush Blooms map conditions for increased spawn rates.
