Resources are the lifeblood of survival, but few are as surprisingly tricky—and vital—as Assorted Seeds. Whether you are looking to maintain your base’s food supply or craft specific medical supplies, knowing where to look is half the battle.

Assorted Seeds Farming Method

Farming in Arc Raiders isn’t just about finding one item; it’s about understanding the economy of the map. Assorted Seeds aren’t just lying around in the open desert. You need to know where nature—and the previous inhabitants—left them behind.

Why Are Assorted Seeds Important?

You might be wondering, “Why should I care about plants when there are robots to fight?” In 2026, the meta has shifted towards sustainability. Assorted Seeds are a critical component for:

  1. Sustained Healing: High-tier healing items often require organic components found in seeds.
  2. Base Defense: If you are playing on a server with base-building elements, trading seeds for crafted fortifications is a smart move.
  3. Buffing: Certain seeds can be processed into consumables that provide temporary stamina or health regeneration buffs.

Preparation: What to Bring

You don’t want to go into a farming run with heavy gear. If you die, you lose your seeds. Here is the “Seed Scavenger” loadout I recommend:

  • Primary Weapon: A silenced rifle or SMG. We want to avoid drawing attention from hulking Arcs.
  • Melee Weapon: A sharp or heavy melee option for quietly taking down scavengers or small drones.
  • Backpack: Upgrade your backpack storage before you go. Seeds stack, but if you are looting the area, you’ll want space for everything else.
  • ** consumables:** Bring a splint and a bandage. Environmental hazards in the farming zones can chip away at your health.

The Best Location: The Lagoon Biome

Based on my research and recent gameplay in March, the absolute best location for farming Assorted Seeds is the Lagoon Biome. This area is characterized by its overgrown vegetation, flooded structures, and—most importantly—abandoned greenhouses.

Why here? The Lagoon was once a center of agriculture before the Arcs arrived. The density of “food-related” loot containers is significantly higher here than in Industrial or Desert zones.

Step-by-Step Farming Route

Here is the exact loop I use to farm between 50-80 Assorted Seeds in a single, efficient run.

Step 1: Insertion at the Delta Outpost

Start your run at the Delta Outskirts. This tends to be a quieter spawn point, allowing you to get your bearings without immediately engaging a patrol.

  • Action: Move immediately towards the river, keeping low in the tall grass to avoid aerial scout drones.

Step 2: The Greenhouse Complex

About 300 meters from the riverbank, you will find a dilapidated series of greenhouses. This is the “Jackpot” zone.

  • Loot Targets: Look specifically for Potting Tables and Broken Shelving Units.
  • Inside the Greenhouses: The containers here have a 40% higher chance to drop Assorted Seeds compared to regular crates.
  • Pro Tip: Check the corners of the greenhouses. Many players miss the small crates hidden behind overgrown ferns.

Step 3: The Flooded Houses

Moving North from the greenhouses, you will hit a cluster of semi-submerged houses.

  • Loot Targets: Enter the houses and look for Kitchens. Fridges and cupboards in this specific cluster have a high loot table for food items and seeds.
  • Caution: Watch your step. The water hides traps and sometimes smaller, ambush-type Arcs. Move slowly and check corners.

Step 4: The Supply Drop Extraction

Instead of extracting immediately, look for a Supply Drop event that spawns randomly in the Lagoon. These drops usually contain large quantities of survival rations, which often include bundles of Assorted Seeds.

  • Strategy: If another player is contesting the drop, don’t fight unless you have the ammo. Seeds aren’t worth losing your gear. Let them fight, then scavenge the bodies after the winner leaves or dies.

Advanced Farming Strategies

Now that you know where to go, let’s talk about how to farm like a pro in 2026. These tips will separate you from the casual scavengers.

1. The “Quiet Carry” Approach

The biggest mistake I see players make is shooting every drone they see. Every bullet fired is a dinner bell for more enemies. When farming seeds, use your melee weapon or a bow. Stealth is your best friend. The less time you spend shooting, the more time you spend looting.

2. Listen for the “Swish” Sound

Arc Raiders has distinct audio cues. When you are opening crates in the Lagoon, listen for a specific hollow “swish” or rustling sound when a crate opens. This distinct audio often indicates that organic material (like seeds or fibers) has been dropped. If you hear it, double-check your inventory immediately to ensure you didn’t miss the pickup.

3. Server Hopping (If applicable)

If you are playing on a private server or a session-based mode where you can rejoin quickly, clear the Greenhouse Complex and extract. Then, rejoin a fresh instance. The respawn rate on containers in the Lagoon is fairly high, but server hopping ensures you are always hitting fresh loot tables rather than waiting for timers.

4. Group Coordination

Don’t go alone if you can help it. A duo or trio team can clear the Greenhouse Complex in half the time.

  • Role 1 (The Looter): Focuses entirely on opening crates and bags.
  • Role 2 (The Watchman): Watches the perimeter for Arcs and other players.
  • Role 3 (The Mule): Carries the extra overflow loot so the Looter doesn’t have to run back to a stash point.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Ignoring “Trash” Items: You might find things like “Old Fertilizer” or “Empty Cans”. Pick them up! Sometimes, these items can be broken down or traded for the seeds you need.
  • Staying in One Spot: Do not camp one greenhouse. The loot economy is dynamic. Keep moving through the loop to trigger spawn refreshes in the zone behind you.
  • Fighting Over Hauls: If a player engages you and they have a better weapon, drop a few seeds as a peace offering and leave. Living to farm another day is better than respawning with nothing.

Troubleshooting

Q: I’m not finding any seeds in the Lagoon. Why? A: You might be in a “Looted Instance.” If another player passed through 10 minutes ago, the containers could be empty. Try extracting and switching to a different server instance.

Q: Are there any other biomes that work? A: Yes, the Agricultural District (located near the center of the map) is a secondary option. However, it is usually much more populated with hostile players. The Lagoon offers a better risk-to-reward ratio.

Q: Do seeds spoil? A: Currently, in the 2026 build, Assorted Seeds do not spoil in your inventory. However, if you process them into “Food,” those items will have a spoilage timer. Keep them as seeds until you are ready to eat or craft.

FAQ

Can I farm Assorted Seeds solo?

Yes, absolutely. In fact, solo farming is often quieter and less risky in the Lagoon. Just ensure you have an escape route planned if you run into a hostile squad.

What is the maximum stack size for Assorted Seeds?

You can carry a stack of 50 Assorted Seeds in a single inventory slot. Make sure to manage your inventory space so you don’t have to leave valuable loot behind.

Do enemies drop Assorted Seeds?

Generally, no. Standard Arc enemies and human scavengers drop scrap and mechanical parts. You almost exclusively find Assorted Seeds in environmental containers like crates, fridges, and garden boxes.

Is the Lagoon dangerous for new players?

The Lagoon is relatively safe compared to the Industrial Zone, but it has its own hazards, specifically water-based enemies and dense vegetation that can hide ambushers. Move cautiously.

How often do loot containers respawn in the farming zone?

Containers typically respawn after a timer clears or when the instance instance resets. If you are staying in the same server, it usually takes about 30-45 minutes for a zone to “refresh” its loot state.

Conclusion

Farming Assorted Seeds in Arc Raiders doesn’t have to be a chore. By focusing your efforts on the Lagoon Biome, specifically the Greenhouse Complex and Flooded Houses, and by utilizing a stealth-focused approach, you can stockpile resources faster than you ever thought possible.

Remember, the meta changes, and patches drop, but the fundamentals of looting remain the same. Be quiet, be quick, and know your route.

Good luck out there, Raider. See you in the Lagoon!
