Tip: Prepare for intense skirmishes in small loot zones with high Arc activity.
3. Crafting & Inventory Enhancements
3.1 Acquire Resources Feature

Tip: This improves quality of life, especially when prepping for endgame loadouts.

2. Feed Scrappy efficiently with Fruit Mix for multi-game rewards.
3. Customize skins to not only look good but track your unique setup in-game.
4. Focus on new weapons (Kanto Sidearm & Dabra) for strong early-game performance.
