Arc Raiders Doctor's Orders Quest Guide

An early Arc Raiders quest has Lance asking you to track down Antiseptics, Syringes, Durable Cloths, and Great Mullein. At first glance, it might seem like a lot to gather, especially early on, but this task is actually quite straightforward once you know where to look. Most of the required items spawn in the same limited set of locations, making it easy to knock out everything in just a run or two. Below, we’ll break down exactly where to find each item for Lance’s first quest, along with how to craft a couple of them if RNG isn’t on your side.

Where to get Antiseptics, Syringes, and Durable Cloths

Antiseptics, Syringes, and Durable Cloths are all commonly found in medical-focused points of interest. Durable Cloths can also occasionally appear inside Commercial buildings, but your best bet early on is sticking to medical locations. Some of the most reliable early-game spots include the Testing Annex on the southeastern side of the Dam Battlegrounds, as well as the Hospital and the Piazza Arbusto pharmacy on Buried City. Each of these areas has a strong chance of spawning at least one or two of these items, provided you thoroughly loot the interiors.

Buried City

If you’re unlucky with drops, there’s also another option. Both Antiseptics and Durable Cloths can be crafted once you’ve built the Refiner workshop bench back in Speranza, giving you a fallback if looting doesn’t pan out.

How to craft Antiseptic

• Chemicals x10
• Great Mullein x2

How to craft Durable Cloth

• Fabric x14

Unfortunately, Syringes cannot be crafted at all, meaning you’ll need to find them through looting no matter what. The good news is that the location where Great Mullein is easiest to find is also one of the better places for medical supply spawns, so you can work on multiple objectives at the same time without much extra effort.

Where to get Great Mullein

Great Mullein spawns across several maps, usually in areas near water. The most consistent and beginner-friendly location to farm it is the Testing Annex on the Dam Battlegrounds map. On the bottom floor of this facility, you’ll find a pool of water that almost always contains multiple Great Mullein plants. As long as another player hasn’t looted them already, you should be able to grab what you need very quickly.

As mentioned earlier, the Testing Annex also serves as a strong location for finding Antiseptics, Syringes, and Durable Cloths, so make sure you fully loot the upper floors as well if you’re still missing anything.

Once you’ve collected all of the required items, head back to Speranza and turn the quest in to Lance. After that, he’ll immediately point you toward the Medical Merchandise quest, which sends you out across multiple maps to loot containers. Be ready for a bit more exploration the next time you head topside.
