Arc Raiders Embraces Holiday Cheer with Flickering Flames Project, Tasking Players to Hunt Candleberries

By [Your Name Here] for [Your News Outlet Here]

[City, State] – As the Cold Snap update blankets Arc Raiders in snow, players are discovering a festive new challenge: the Flickering Flames project. According to a GameSpot report published December 16th, 2025, this event tasks players with gathering the elusive Candleberries, along with other common resources, to unlock rewards like Raider Tokens and Merits.

Candleberries are found exclusively in areas affected by the Cold Snap map condition, excluding Stella Montis. GameSpot recommends searching Nature regions, identifiable by the leaf icon on the map, where the bright red berries stand out against the snowy landscape. However, the hunt can be tedious, as each bush typically yields only one Candleberry.

Fortunately, players can also earn a significant number of Candleberries (180 total) simply by participating in the Gathering Candleberries event and progressing through its reward track. This is achieved by earning XP, which converts to Merits.

While Candleberries may require some dedicated searching, GameSpot notes that the other items required for the Flickering Flames project are common and can be found in various lootable containers throughout the game world. The project demands a substantial collection of these items, but their accessibility makes the challenge manageable.

GameSpot’s report provides players with a comprehensive guide to navigating the Flickering Flames project, including tips for finding Candleberries and details on all required items. You can find this guide at their website.
