[ARC Raiders]Complete guide to medical supplies quest | Detailed explanation of all container locations and efficient routes[Ark Raiders]

ARC Raiders is a PvPvE extraction shooter developed by Embark Studios. This is a game where you play as a raider and explore the ruined land of Speranza, collecting valuable resources and trying to survive. In this game, the quest “Medical Supplies'' given by the trader Lance is positioned as one of the important missions in the early stages. This quest is a simple quest that involves investigating multiple medical containers, but since it spans three different maps, it requires a well-planned approach.

In this article, we will thoroughly explain the exact location of the container, efficient routes, how to deal with enemies, details of rewards, and even related quest and crafting information. We provide a complete guide for beginners to advanced users.

Quest summary and prerequisites

The “Medical Supplies” quest is a task that you can automatically receive from Lance. This is a research mission to compensate for the lack of medical resources. Medical supplies are essential for survival in Speranza's harsh environment, so completing this Harp quest will increase Lance's reliability and unlock the next high-reward quest.

Prerequisites

• Clear the quest “The Doctor's Order”.

The previous quest involves collecting specific medical items at Rance's clinic. If you haven't cleared it, select Lance from the vendor menu to check it.

the goal

1. Examine the two containers in the departure building of the spaceport.
2. Examine 3 containers at the Buried City Hospital.
3. Examine the two containers in the examination room at the Research Control Center on the Dam Battlefield.

These goals don't all have to be achieved in one expedition. You can proceed in multiple intrusions. There is no need to store quest items in a safe pocket, as quest progress is automatically recorded when you examine containers.

reward

Clear rewards are as follows. Mainly medical-related items, which greatly improve your survival rate in the early stages.

Item name	quantity	Effect summary
banana	1	This is an HP recovery item. It allows instant recovery and is easy to carry.
Defibrillator	3	This is for recovering from a down state. Especially useful in team play.
Vita Shot	2-3	Instant HP recovery. A powerful syringe that can save your life in the event of a serious injury.

Although there are reports of slight variations in the amount of remuneration, the main structure is as above. Additionally, by increasing Lance's reliability, subsequent quests such as “Premature Announcement'' will be unlocked, making it easier to obtain more medical crafting materials.

Preparation and recommended equipment before the attack

This quest involves combat, so it's important to be prepared to avoid unnecessary risks.

• loadout: Take advantage of free loadouts. You can eliminate the risk of losing valuables in your stash. I highly recommend this for beginners.
• skill: Prioritize stamina recovery (e.g. dash enhancement, climbing speed increase). Search efficiency will be improved.

Items to bring

category	Recommended items	reason
recovery	Herbal bandages x 5-10	Maximum stack recovery amount. Immediate application when hit.
shield	Surge shield recharger x 5-10	Immediate recovery after shield destruction.
Throwing	Smoke grenade x2	It is a cover for avoiding enemy tracking and hunting.
tool	door stopper, barricade kit	Safety can be ensured by sealing off the building.

• drop point selection: Choose a location near the objective on each map to shorten the invasion time.
• time zone: At night, there may be fewer enemies due to poor visibility. However, since the PvP risk increases, we recommend playing during the daytime when soloing.

These preparations will minimize the risk of death.

Recommended strategy order and overall route

We recommend the following order for efficiency.

1. Spaceport (safest)
2. buried city
3. Dam battlefield (most enemies)

Clear 1-2 objectives in 1 round for instant extraction. It is efficient to proceed with other quests (e.g. understanding the terrain) in parallel.

1. Spaceport: Conquer 2 medical room containers in the departure building

Location overview

This is the Departure Building near the center of the map. The medical room (with recovery mark) is the target area. Suitable for beginners as the enemy encounter rate is low.

Detailed route

1. After dropping, open the map and check the departure building (northeast).
2. Enter through the top entrance in the northeast. Go up the stairs and turn left to head to the medical room.
3. Examine two drawers and a cabinet in the room. If there are Pops (small enemies), eliminate them from a distance.
4. After clearing, we will perform an immediate extraction. It takes 5-10 minutes.

Enemy information and countermeasures

• Pops: Melee attack type. A headshot can kill you instantly. Ranged weapons are recommended.
• Note: Visibility inside the building is poor. Please use a flashlight.

Tips

The medical room also has plenty of other containers. We also recommend collecting small fish materials.

2. Buried City: Conquer 3 Hospital Containers

Location overview

The hospital is next to the parking garage. PvP will occur frequently in the fierce battle zone. Enters through external scaffolding.

Detailed route

1. After dropping, aim for the southern parking garage.
2. Climb the scaffolding on the outside wall of the hospital and enter the 1st floor.
3. Randomly examine 3 desks/containers in any room (consultation room, hospital room). There is also a high probability that there will be medical materials on the bed.
4. After clearing the surrounding area, perform extraction. It takes 10-15 minutes.

Enemy information and countermeasures

• There are various enemies (Pops, Sentinels). There are many ambushes inside the building.
• Countermeasures: Block the entrance with a barricade. Get away with smoke.

Tips

Hospitals are rich in crafting materials such as “closed and rusting medical kits”. Please use it to strengthen your workshop. If you also hunt the pharmacy (separate area), it's easy to get legendary blueprints.

3. Dam Battlefield: Research Management Center Consultation Room Container 2 Capture

Location overview

Research & Administration Center. This is the most dangerous area, where Sentinels will spawn frequently.

Detailed route

1. After dropping, head to the southeast entrance.
2. Climb the blue stairs to the 2nd floor (be careful of the wall Sentinel). Turn left from the right back hallway and enter 3 examination rooms.
3. Examine the two containers in the small room. High-speed access is possible using the zipline.
4. Extract immediately. The journey takes 15-20 minutes.

Enemy information and countermeasures

• Sentinel: Shoot from above the wall. Eliminate while climbing stairs.
• Inside the building: There is a risk of pincer attacks in multiple rooms. Thoroughly clear.

Tips

We recommend the route from the front zip to the back right. It is necessary to block the door with a door stopper.

Common failure patterns and countermeasures

Failure example	cause	countermeasure
container not found	Misunderstanding the room	Check the map icon. Any room is OK (hospital only).
Annihilation	Ignore the enemy	Clear in advance. Use free loadouts.
PvP damage	long stay	Extract immediately after clearing 1 goal. Use smoke.
No progress reflected	Possible bug	I'll look into it again. Check by relogging.

If you avoid these, you will be 99% successful.

Additional Tips and Related Information

• efficiency: “Understanding the terrain'' etc. will be progressing at the same time as the quest.
• Craft interlocking: Create a CMS kit with obtained medical materials. Priority storage is recommended.
• For advanced users: Enemies will be reduced during solo night invasions. If you are a team, divide the roles (one person is fishing, two people are guarding).
• Post-release quest: “Premature announcement” (hidden street pharmacy ESR device). The reward is high-end medical supplies.
• Material compatibility: The “Rusty Medical Kit” from the hospital is a required material for the workshop.
• PvP measures: Scanning while fishing is prohibited. Act quietly.

If you follow these tips, you will be able to complete the quest in the shortest possible time.

summary

The “Medical Supplies” quest is an important mission that solidifies the foundation of the early stages of ARC Raiders. After clearing the premise “The Doctor's Order”, proceed in the order of Spaceport → Buried City → Dam Battlefield with the free loadout, and be sure to examine Container 2-3-2. Resurrection equipment and Vita injections as rewards will dramatically improve your survivability, and the Lance Quest chain will be in full swing.
