Arc Raiders olive locations

Upgrading Scrappy is the most effective strategy for securing essential resources in Arc Raiders, allowing players to reserve inventory slots for valuable treasures. To satisfy Scrappy's appetite, players need to collect six olives, prickly pears, and a Cat Bed. Olives can be found on the ground near olive trees or by shaking the branches, which are larger than shrubs. The Lush Blooms event increases the spawn rates of collectible vegetation and introduces baskets filled with olives. The 'Olive Grove' at The Blue Gate is the best location for gathering olives, with a higher likelihood of finding them near the Nature icon. Players should be cautious of nearby threats, including Arcs and a patrolling Bombadier. Newcomers are advised to consult a guide for the A First Foothold quest and bring an Arc Raiders Hatch Key for better chances of success.

The Outer Worlds 2’s weirdest weapon is a flashing rainbow sword that turns combat into a rhythm game I’m terrible at

The Spectrum Dance Saber is a unique melee weapon in The Outer Worlds 2, requiring players to complete a collectible quest to unlock it, costing 16,500 bits. Its special perk, Dance Mode, involves performing dance actions to maintain its power during combat, with a new user interface and musical score guiding rhythm-based gameplay. The sword can freeze enemies (white) or cause them to explode (red) upon contact. In a super state, it unleashes multiple effects on enemies without needing to maintain rhythm. Players can power up the sword by swinging it from cover. To acquire the sword, players must complete the Paradise Island quest, unlock Free Market Station, and collect 25 Tossball/Pitchball cards to access Fionna F. Walker's exclusive inventory at The 2nd Choice tavern. Cards are found throughout Paradise Island, Free Market Station, and Golden Ridge.
