Candleberries in Arc Raiders: Where to Find Them and How to Complete Flickering Flames
The Cold Snap update has injected plenty of snow and icy vibes into Arc Raiders, but it also brings a splash of holiday spirit for players chasing the Flickering Flames project. Candleberries are a key item for that quest, and they’re not the easiest to gather. Each Candleberry you collect helps complete the project alongside a group of other, more common items. Plus, finishing requirements along the way rewards you with Raider Tokens or Merits—the latter contributing toward the Gathering Candleberries event rewards. Here’s a clear guide to locating Candleberries in Arc Raiders and everything you need to finish Flickering Flames.

Candleberries locations in Arc Raiders
Candleberries only appear under the new Cold Snap map condition. This condition can appear on most maps except Stella Montis, so you’ll have frequent chances to hunt them.
To maximize your finds, head to areas that typically contain other fruits used for Scrappy upgrades. These spots are usually in Nature regions, which maps denote with a leaf icon. Candleberries grow on bright red bushes that stand out against the snowy backdrop. A common challenge is that each bush tends to drop just one Candleberry, so collecting them can take time.
A faster route is participating in the Gathering Candleberries event. Completing it nets you a total of 180 Candleberries through the reward track. Since leveling the track requires gaining XP (which converts into Merits), you’ll accumulate Candleberries passively as you progress.
What may require more legwork are the other items needed for the Flickering Flames project. Below is everything you’ll need, organized by stage.
