Lance needs medical supplies, and he’s not great at making X-ray machines or pulse oximeters himself. That’s where you come in! The Medical Merchandise quest sends you across three different maps to loot specific containers. Here’s how to knock it out efficiently without wasting time or gear.

Medical Merchandise Overview
This straightforward scavenging quest helps Lance gather much-needed medical equipment he can’t craft himself, like X-ray machines and pulse oximeters. You’ll need to visit three high-loot areas across different maps, making this perfect for combining quest completion with valuable loot runs.

Official Game: Arc Raiders on Steam
Location 1: Dam Battlegrounds Medical Room
Head to the south side of Research & Administration building and enter the Administration side, then head to the back of the lobby. Follow the corridors deeper into the building until you spot medical signage. The Medical Room is clearly marked.
Pro tip: If you don’t find enough containers in the main medical room, check the locker room next door—it also counts toward quest progress!
Watch for ARC patrols and other raiders in this high-value area. Loot two containers—drawers, medical boxes, or lockers all count.
Location 2: Buried City Hospital
This is the easiest part! The Hospital is marked on the upper middle side of the map with a red loot icon. There’s no specific place you need to loot in the hospital itself—just enter, go upstairs, and search any three containers throughout the building.
The flexibility here makes it quick, but be alert for other Raiders as it’s a common mission spot where firefights tend to break out fast.

Location 3: Spaceport Departure Building
The Departure Building is close to the middle point of the Spaceport map. Head inside, turn right down the hallway, then left until you reach multiple rooms. Find the Exam Room on the second floor and loot two containers to complete the quest.
This is the most dangerous location due to heavy player traffic and ARC presence. Consider bringing a free loadout if you don’t want to risk losing items from your stash.
Smart Completion Tips
✅ Tackle in any order—complete whichever map you’re most comfortable with first
✅ Looting already open or empty containers does count toward the total
✅ Bring a buddy—party members’ searches count for everyone’s quest progress
✅ Use Safe Pockets to protect quest items if you grab extra loot

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Do I need to bring special items to complete Medical Merchandise?
No! You don’t need to bring any specific items for this quest. Since you’re only opening containers rather than collecting items, you can run a completely free loadout to minimize risk. This is especially useful for the Spaceport location, which tends to be heavily contested by other players and ARC enemies.
Q2: Can I complete all three objectives in one expedition?
Unfortunately, no. Each objective is located on a different map (Dam Battlegrounds, Buried City, and Spaceport), so you’ll need to complete three separate expeditions. However, you can tackle them in any order you prefer, and if you’re playing with friends, their container searches count toward everyone’s quest progress, speeding things up significantly.
