Scrappy has five levels, and you upgrade him through the Workshop by turning in a specific set of scavenged items. The full progression needs one Dog Collar, 3 Lemons, 15 Apricots, 6 Prickly Pears, 6 Olives, one Cat Bed, 12 Mushrooms and 3 Very Comfortable Pillows. The fruit total is easy to miss: save 12 Apricots for the final upgrade after collecting the first three.

How to upgrade Scrappy the Rooster

Open the Workshop and train Scrappy one level at a time. Each rank unlocks after you provide its listed materials.

Level Rank Materials required
1 Fledgling Starting level; no materials
2 Forager 1 Dog Collar
3 Scavenger 3 Lemons and 3 Apricots
4 Treasure Hunter 6 Prickly Pears, 6 Olives and 1 Cat Bed
5 Master Hoarder 12 Mushrooms, 12 Apricots and 3 Very Comfortable Pillows

That is the complete training checklist: 1 Dog Collar, 3 Lemons, 15 Apricots, 6 Prickly Pears, 6 Olives, 1 Cat Bed, 12 Mushrooms and 3 Very Comfortable Pillows. Requirements are consistent across the community wiki, Prima Games and AllThings.How.

What materials does Scrappy need?

Scrappy’s upgrade materials fall into two practical groups: nature resources and items found in residential or commercial loot. That distinction helps you plan searches, but neither category guarantees a particular item at a named location.

#1 Best Overall
ARC Raiders Deluxe - PC Steam [Online Game Code]
  • ARC Raiders Deluxe Edition includes the base game and the following content: The Wanderer Set, including the following cosmetic items: “Valente” Outfit" “Pathfinder” Backpack,“Blanket Roll” Backpack Attachment.
  • Plus: Character Cosmetic, Finger Gun Rapid Fire Emote, Cowboy Scrappy Body Type and Skin, 2 400 Raider Tokens.

Nature resources

  • Lemons: 3, for level 3.
  • Apricots: 15 total: 3 for level 3 and 12 for level 5.
  • Prickly Pears: 6, for level 4.
  • Olives: 6, for level 4.
  • Mushrooms: 12, for level 5.

Residential and commercial loot

  • Dog Collar: 1, for level 2.
  • Cat Bed: 1, for level 4.
  • Very Comfortable Pillows: 3, for level 5.

Keep upgrade items rather than selling or recycling them until you have trained Scrappy through the relevant level. In particular, gathering 15 Apricots across your level 3 and level 5 needs can spare you a separate fruit search.

Where do I find the Scrappy upgrade items?

The places below are community-guide leads, not guaranteed spawn points or official spawn-rate data. Loot can vary with map conditions, and the guides differ in how confidently they describe a location as a top spot.

Items Community-recommended places to search Search approach
Dog Collar Dam Battlegrounds: Ruby Residence and Pale Apartments. Guides also mention Pattern House and residential areas in Buried City. Check drawers, desks and storage containers.
Lemons and Apricots Dam Battlegrounds: Hydroponic Dome Complex and Red Lakes (especially for Apricots); Blue Gate: Olive Grove and Village; Buried City: Marano Park. Gather more than 3 Apricots during the level 3 trip if possible; the full checklist needs 15.
Prickly Pears Dam Battlegrounds: Red Lakes and the area north of Hydroponics Dome Complex; guides also note scattered areas on other maps. Search natural areas while gathering nearby fruit.
Olives Blue Gate: Olive Grove. A forest near the Dome Complex on Dam Battlegrounds is a supplemental lead. Prioritize Olive Grove if Olives are your main target.
Cat Bed Dam Battlegrounds: Ruby Residence or Pale Apartments. Buried City: Santa Maria Houses, Plaza Rosa and Grandioso Apartments. Include residential and commercial containers in a housing-area sweep.
Mushrooms Dam Battlegrounds: Formicai Hills, the swamp and the southern dome area. These are guide-listed nature searches, not confirmed spawn tables.
Very Comfortable Pillows Buried City: Santa Maria Houses, Plaza Rosa and Grandioso Apartments; Blue Gate village districts; Dam Battlegrounds: Ruby Residence and Pale Apartments. Search dense residential or mixed commercial-residential blocks.

Location recommendations are drawn from the Prima Games guide and AllThings.How’s item and farm-spot guide.

How to combine material searches into runs

There is no measured route that is universally best. Choose a run based on whether you need nature resources or residential/commercial loot, how many of your outstanding items the area may cover, and how much exposure or competition you are willing to risk.

  • Dam Battlegrounds residential sweep: Target the Dog Collar and Cat Bed in Ruby Residence or Pale Apartments; check for pillows as a possible bonus.
  • Red Lakes nature search: Combine Apricot gathering with nearby Prickly Pear searches. Collect beyond the 3 needed at level 3 if you can, toward the 15-Apricot total.
  • Buried City fruit run: Marano Park is a community-recommended area for fruit gathering.
  • Blue Gate olive run: Focus on Olive Grove for Olives, with nearby fruit as a possible secondary target.

These are route ideas based on community recommendations, not tested or timed routes. The source guides do not provide controlled spawn probabilities, completion times or comparative raid-risk measurements.

How Scrappy collects resources between upgrades

Scrappy gathers Metal Parts, Fabric, Plastic Parts, Chemicals, Rubber Parts and Assorted Seeds while you are Topside. He does not collect while you are offline or in Speranza. According to the community wiki, a raid must last at least one minute for collection to occur; returns stop increasing with time after more than 15 minutes in a round, and his storage fills after five rounds until you claim it.

Rank #4
ARK: Survival Evolved - Nintendo Switch
  • Capture and Tame Dinosaurs: Discover over 100 different dinosaurs and prehistoric creatures on the island, finding ways to tame them into useful additions for your tribe's dyno herd
  • Survive Above All: Hunger, thirst, basic safety, and protecting yourself from the weather are all part of the game
  • Harvest, Hunt and Build: Cut down trees and turn them into a basic home, which you can quickly expand into a Jurassic estate. Hunt for meat, scavenge for plants (or start your own garden!)
  • Customize Everything: An extensive crafting system invites you to mix and match materials scavenged from the island, while also modifying the colors, textures, shapes, and styles
  • Explore the Island: Solve the mystery of The ARK as you explore this massive island, discovering Explorer's Notebooks (filled with clues!) throughout

The wiki also describes an optional six-item feeding queue. A queued food advances after a round lasting at least six minutes, and different foods bias extra rewards toward different material categories. Feeding affects collection, not the materials required to train Scrappy.

The wiki marks two unusual level 4 reward entries as accurate as of Update 1.31.0, but the cited passage does not state when that update occurred. Exact reward yields are therefore less durable than the upgrade checklist, and should not be treated as timeless values.
