Here Are The Candleberries In ARC Raiders
After the mushroom craze kicked off to feed the ever-hungry Scrappy, Embark has artificially started another maniacal hunt for food. Cold Snap brought snow, new quests, a new event, and a new project.

This project, named Flickering Flames, requires a bazillion amount of berries, the new hottest item in ARC Raiders. Where to find Candleberries is the question on everyone's mind, and we're here to answer.
Where To Find Candleberries

Secondly, Candleberries are a pain in the bum to farm. Our advice is to not bother farming them unless you get a good spawn at the start of a raid. The prime places to farm them at are nature-spawn areas, like the Marano Park in Buried City.
Besides those areas, search for map zones covered in trees and other greenery. You'll easily spot Candleberries even at a distance since they are red. The densest area to farm this on is the Hydroponic Complex on Dam Battlegrounds, but come ready for PVP and PVE fights.
If you get a bad spawn or arrive later into the raid and still want to try your luck, search lower-loot areas that have trees or general greenery. The edges of Blue Gate are a good example.
Remember that you can always shove the Candleberries in your safe pouch, and you can stack up to 10 per slot, so don't spam free loadouts!
A Second Way To Farm Candleberries In ARC Raiders

You do need a bazillion of them, specifically 260 Candleberries to complete the Flickering Flames project.
But the project will give you a ton of Merits to help you progress through the Gathering Candleberries event, which is the actual best Candleblerry farm in ARC Raiders. Getting all the way to the 19th reward on the Event will get you 170 Candleberries, so you only need to farm 90 in raids.
So our advice is: if you get a bad spawn or get late into a map, focus on getting good XP and collecting the other items you need for the Flickering Flames Project, as that is what will get you Merits to progress through the Gathering Candleberries event faster.
