Where To Find Candleberries In Arc Raiders And All Flickering Flames Items - GameSpot

Where to Find Candleberries in Arc Raiders and Every Flickering Flames Item (Guide)

The Cold Snap update blankets Arc Raiders in snow and unlocks the Flickering Flames project, which pays out Raider Tokens and Merits as you turn in materials. The rarest piece of the puzzle is Candleberries—here’s how to farm them fast and everything you need to finish the project.

How to find Candleberries (locations)

• Only available during the Cold Snap map condition
• Can appear on any map except Stella Montis
• Search Nature regions (leaf icon) where fruit nodes spawn, similar to Scrappy upgrade materials
• Look for bright red bushes standing out against the snow
• Each bush typically yields just 1 Candleberry, so plan multiple sweeps

Faster method: Gathering Candleberries event

• Completing the event’s reward track grants a total of 180 Candleberries
• You level the track by earning XP, which converts to Merits—just play normally and the berries roll in

Quick tips to speed it up

• Rotate maps or re-queue until Cold Snap appears; skip Stella Montis
• Sweep Nature biomes and settlement outskirts where fruit nodes cluster
• Bring extra inventory space; share pings with your squad to reduce overlap
• Chase XP-efficient activities (contracts, events, bounties) to climb the event reward track quickly
• Between Cold Snap cycles, loot interiors for common project items so berries remain your only bottleneck
