The much-awaited Cold Snap update for ARC Raiders also brings new activities for raiders to get involved in, alongside a blistering cold map condition. One of these newer activities is the Flickering Flame event, which requires players to gather Candleberries from bushes throughout various maps. While Candleberry bushes randomly spawn on maps, there are a few locations that have an increased chance for you to farm them.

Some sections of the ARC Raiders map are extremely dark, but players can use these Nvidia settings to brighten up the image and see enemies clearly.

Candleberry Locations in ARC Raiders (Best Farm Method)

To get Candleberries in ARC Raiders, you’ll need to enter a match with the Cold Snap map condition active. Candleberry bushes only spawn in the Cold Snap map condition, so you’ll need to head into a match prepared with more meds than usual if you hope to survive the harsh cold.

The Cold Snap map activates for Dam Battlegrounds, Buried City, Spaceport, and The Blue Gate maps (Stella Montis is excluded). Here are the best locations to find Candleberries in ARC Raiders across all these maps.

Candleberries are categorized as a Nature-type item, and locations that offer Nature-based loot (leaf icon) have an increased bush spawn chance.

Map	Candleberry Locations	Location Image
Dam Battlegrounds	One of the best locations to find Candleberries in Dam Battlegrounds is the treeline around the Hydroponic Dome Complex. The South Swamp Outpost also features a lot of shrubbery where you can find Candleberries hidden.
Buried City	The best location to find Candleberries in Buried City is Marano Park, located in the center of the map in ARC Raiders. However, a Bastion or Bombardier will spawn in this area, so watch your surroundings. Other areas with a lot of trees also have a chance to spawn a bush or two.
The Blue Gate	The Trapper’s Glade and the Olive Grove are two of the best locations to get Candleberries in The Blue Gate map in ARC Raiders. Multiple bushes have also been spotted near the Highway Collapse landmark and the greenery near Checkpoint.

Other Ways to Get Candleberries in ARC Raiders

Get Candleberries from Baskets ARC Raiders

Another way to get Candleberries in ARC Raiders is by finding and searching inside baskets hidden in buildings and small shacks. These little baskets have a chance to spawn up to six Candleberries, allowing you to stock up on a lot of them at once.

Get Candleberries from Raider Caches ARC Raiders

Raider Caches also have a high chance of containing Candleberries in ARC Raiders. The process of opening up Raider Caches is a little different in the Cold Snap map condition, as you’ll need to breach them via Raider Tool before looting.

You can find anywhere from two to six Candleberries inside these hidden caches. Just don’t forget to hone in on their locations once you start hearing their ticking sound.
