Olives and Prickly Pears are two essential nature items in ARC Raiders that have multiple uses, which also include a vital Scrappy upgrade.
Scrappy, your rooster companion, helps you find more loot on your runs, and upgrading him will be immensely helpful. The third upgrade for Scrappy requires you to find six Olives and six Prickly Pears.

How to find Olives in ARC Raiders
To get Olives easily, you'll want to head to the Blue Gate location. Go south from Checkpoint to follow the marked location on the screenshot below. This location is, after all, named Olive Grove, and you'll always find Olive trees here. You also don't need to rely on the Lush Bloom event to find the trees.
You'll usually find Olives below the trees at the Olive Grove. Alternatively, kick the trees, and a few Olives will fall. While the extraction point is pretty close, you should still be very careful, as I have found plenty of enemies roaming at this spot.
How to find Prickly Pears in ARC Raiders
The best location to find Pricky Pears is towards the north of the Dam Battlegrounds map. You'll find plenty of cactuses at the marked location near the Pattern House. Prickly Pears spawn on the cactuses, and you should be able to find a fair few by running around.
Unlike Olive Grove, not much seems to happen at this location, which makes it perfect for you to roam around and get the necessary quantity of Prickly Pears.
How to use the Prickly Pears and Olives in ARC Raiders
The primary use for the two resources will be to get the Level 4 upgrade for Scrappy. The upgrade requires you to use six Prickly Pears, six Olives, and one Cat Bed. Incidentally, Prickly Pear is also required to craft Fruit Mix, where you combine it with one Lemon and one Apricot. You can also consume it to regain +20 stamina temporarily
