Scrappy – Arc Raiders Companion Guide | Upgrades, Levels & Tips
Scrappy Companion Guide
Scrappy is your companion rooster in Arc Raiders who collects resources while you raid. Upgrading Scrappy increases the materials he brings back after each expedition.
How Scrappy Works
- Scrappy passively collects Metal Parts, Fabric, Plastic Parts, Chemicals, Rubber Parts, and Assorted Seeds while you are in a raid
- You must spend at least 1 minute in a raid to receive anything
- Maximum collection at 15+ minutes in raid
- Scrappy holds up to 50x of each item
- Bonus: If you fail a raid (die), Scrappy brings back double as a consolation prize

|---|---|
| Level 2 | Dog Collar x1 |

Flashpoint Update Changes
The Flashpoint update (March 31) is overhauling Scrappy with new resource types, expanded mechanics, visual customization, and improved AI. Max your Scrappy before the update to benefit from any upgrade path changes.
Tips
- Always spend 15+ minutes per raid for max Scrappy collection
- Dying is not all bad — the double resource consolation makes failed raids worthwhile
- Prioritize upgrading Scrappy early — the resource income compounds over time
What Scrappy Is
Scrappy is the companion rooster in your workshop who passively gathers resources for you — but only while you are Topside (not offline and not in Speranza). He collects Metal Parts, Fabric, Plastic Parts, Chemicals, Rubber Parts, and Assorted Seeds.
How Collection Works
- You must spend at least 1 minute in a round to earn Scrappy rewards; yields max out after 15 minutes and scale with your extraction status.
- He only banks resources for 5 rounds before he is full — collect from him before he can gather more.
- Feeding boost: queue up to six food items to boost a specific resource type (+5 of that resource, regardless of Expeditions taken).
