162 articlesLemons are one of the many unassuming items that you’ll need to collect in ARC Raiders, such as for the “Unexpected Initiative” quest.
This quest specifically requires you to find and collect 3 Lemons. As expected, though, these fruits aren’t quite as easy to come by as you would expect. What with all the ARCs ravaging topside and whatnot…
Nonetheless, we know a good spot to collect them and we’ll tell you all about it!
Where to Find Lemons for Unexpected Initiative
The best spot to farm Lemons in the game appears to be the Olive Grove in the Blue Gate map. It’s not just olives that grow there, it would seem! We’ve marked it on the map above for you.

Once you’re in the area, you want to look out for smaller fruit trees. There are usually fruits on the ground by then, usually an Apricot or Lemon.
While you don’t really need the Apricots for the quest, we recommend picking them up too. They are some of the valuable items you need, after all. You can use them to upgrade Scrappy’s service.
Aside from the ones on the ground, you can also interact with the trees to give them a little kick. This almost always makes one more fruit fall down, hopefully giving you the lemons you need.
Now, while this area is relatively safe from ARCs, it does seem that a lot of players frequent it for PvP. Of course, this is a bit random, depending on who you match up.
But we recommend preparing for that potential threat by not bringing any gear you wouldn’t want to lose. Also, put the Lemons you collect into your Safe Pocket if need be.
That aside, this is the best spot for Lemons, but not the only one. Other areas marked as Nature areas should also have similar trees on all maps. They are less reliable, though, unless the Lush Blooms event is active. So, keep that in mind.
Nonetheless, that’s all you need to know to find Lemons in ARC Raiders, be it for the “Unexpected Initiative” quest or any other reason!
