Rooster Plyushkin in ARC RaidersThis is a full-fledged assistant that brings you useful resources between raids. This loud but loyal foraging rooster is capable of fetching metal, rubber, cloth, and other basic materials if properly leveled. In this guide, we described in detail how to develop Plyushkin to the maximum level and where to look for all the necessary items for his improvements.
How to upgrade Plyushkin in ARC Raiders
To improve Plyushkin, open the workshop, select the rooster icon and click “Train”. Each level requires certain resources, and as the level increases, the speed and volume of production increases.
Level up stages:
- Level 1: available immediately
- Level 2: requires 1 dog collar
- Level 3: requires 3 lemons and 3 apricots
- Level 4: requires 6 prickly pears, 6 olives, 1 cat bed
- Level 5 (maximum): 12 mushrooms, 12 apricots, 3 soft pillows are required
Upgrading not only speeds up the collection of resources, but also allows you to obtain rarer materials.
Where to find a dog collar, pillows and a cat bed
The collar is needed to level up the second level of Plyushkin, the bed for level 4, and pillows for maximum 5. All items are most often found in residential premises. Best places to look:
- Dam Battlefield: Palais Apartment, Ruby Residence, Challenge Room
- Buried City: Santa Maria Complex, Plaza Rosa, Grandioso Apartments
- Blue Gate: Village, Raider's Hideout, Embellished Ruins, Warehouse Complex
Although according to the description they spawn in living quarters, in practice they are most often found in the testing room.
How to find a collar and bed
- Go up to the second floor of the building and go to the red lockers
- Check every closet and every shelf – the chance of appearance is not one hundred percent, but this is where the necessary items most often lie
Where to look for pillows
Pillows are also found everywhere, even in gray areas. But if you want to be guaranteed to get pillows, go toBuried City:
- Once loaded, open the map and place a marker on the destroyed houses
- Inspect the sofas and armchairs inside the building, this is where pillows most often appear
Where to find lemons and olives
Lemon is one of the first fruits needed to level up Plyushkin. You will need 3 of them in total. You will need 6 olives.
The most reliable spawn location is Olive Grove on the Blue Gate map. The trees we need grow here, next to the road and the hills. You can shake the trees so that additional fruits fall from them.
Features of the zone:
- This is a dangerous location, other players and many ARC drones are often found here
- Lemons are more common than olives, so you will have to return several times
Tip for finding olives
If there is a catastrophic shortage of olives, wait for the event marked on the map with a piece of paper called Lush Vegetation. During this event, baskets with natural resources appear throughout the map, often containing olives, mushrooms and fruits for Plyushkin.
Where to find apricots and prickly pears
Apricots grow on trees similar to lemon trees. They can be found in the same places. Prickly pear is a type of cactus with reddish fruits that can be collected directly from the plant. In total, we will need 3 lemons and 6 prickly pears for different levels of pumping Plyushkin.
If you farm in the Olive Grove, collect lemons, olives and apricots at the same time.
On the map Battlefield at the Damthere is a great place to find both prickly pears and apricots at the same time. This area is rarely visited by other raiders, so it is relatively safe to loot here.
- Prickly pears grow under cacti
- Apricots are on trees that you can kick to drop additional fruits
Route for finding prickly pears
If prickly pears seem to be in short supply, try this route:
- Take adrenaline.
- It is advisable to leave your equipment if you have a secret pocket so as not to lose resources.
- Start from the far left point marked on the map and move from left to right, checking each spawn location.
- Place everything you find in a secret pocket. If the raid is completed, evacuate. If not, you can die: the items in the secret pocket will be preserved.
Where to find mushrooms
For the last level of pumping you will need mushrooms, and it is best to look for them on the Battlefield near the dam in several proven places.
Water treatment plant
- Mushrooms grow along the walls and under a large pipe.
- In one room you can find up to three of them, but it depends on luck, sometimes they don’t spawn at all.
- Inspect all the highlighted elements, the mushrooms are small and easy to miss.
Scrap metal dump
- In this location you can find the remains of a huge baron – examine it from all sides
Swamps and forest
- This is where the most mushrooms are found, but it is more difficult to find them.
- Inspect tree snags and roots, especially withered, leafless trees, mushrooms often grow there.
Sometimes mushrooms are found even in the center of the red zone, at the edges of the pool – a rare but possible spawn.
In order to find all the spawn locations of the necessary resources and get the right route, you can always use the ARC Raiders interactive map.
Upgrading Plyushkin is one of the most useful long-term processes in ARC Raiders. At maximum level, it brings rare materials between raids, reducing dependence on farming. Systematic collection of lemons, prickly pears, mushrooms and other components allows you to develop Plyushkin to a level at which he will become one of the main sources of resource production.
