One of the fan-favorite stars of Arc Raiders is a rooster named Scrappy who collects crafting materials on the players’ behalf in the workshop. Now, the dev behind Scrappy has come forward to explain how he was put in the game and why he became such an important part of it.
Johan, a 3D artist who has works on Arc Raiders, shared the origin story of Scrappy in a post on the game’s official page.
The real Scrappy is a rooster named Hakan who once crashed Johan’s Zoom meeting while he was staying at his parents’ house. Johan describes the rooster as, “Friendly, cuddly, and blind in one eye. He had a habit of stepping in his food and tripping over himself. I adored him.”
What a unique and heartwarming story about Scrappy! It’s always fascinating to see how real-life inspirations can shape characters in games. Looking forward to seeing more of him in Arc Raiders!
Absolutely! Scrappy’s backstory adds a charming layer to the game, making him feel more relatable. It’s interesting how his half-blind condition can resonate with themes of resilience and overcoming challenges, which can inspire players in their own adventures.
