Anyone who is deep into Arc Raiders will know that antiseptic becomes a bottleneck. This rare medical item can often keep you from progressing so instead you’re stuck running around looking for it. It is a big problem, especially, if you want to progress the Medical Lab in quests like Doctor’s Orders.
Antiseptic is also needed to craft key healing items such as Sterilized Bandages, Vita Spray, and Vita Shots; items that can save your life in Arc Raiders.
In this guide, lets break down the best farming methods currently available for Antiseptic in Arc Raiders.
Method #1: Looting (Fastest Early Game Farm)
Antiseptic primarily spawns in Medical-tagged POIs. What you need to do is look for tiny white/blue bottles on shelves, desks, bins, draws, or loose on tables/floors. I recommend focusing on medium/high loot zones for a better antiseptic spawn rate.
Best Locations by Map
| Map | Top POI | Why It’s Great | Tips & Risks |
|---|---|---|---|
| Buried City | Hospital (North) | Highest density — 2nd/3rd floors packed with loot. Often 2–4 per full clear. | Hot PvP zone + ARC turrets/fireballs. Rush upper floors first. |
| Buried City | Plaza Rosa / Piazza Arbusto Pharmacies | Solid backups with shelves and counters. | Less contested but lower yields. Good for quick loops. |
| Dam Battlegrounds | Testing Annex (SE) | Secluded, dense drawers/bins on 2nd floor. Often loose bottles + quick lift extract. | Lower PvP, but open map travel. Pair with Research & Admin for combo runs. |
Pro Route: On Buried City, loop Hospital → Plaza Rosa. On Dam, hit Testing Annex solo for low-risk 1-3 bottles per raid.
Method #2: Crafting (Best for Mid to Late Game Supply)
When you finally hit Refiner Level 2 you craft Antiseptic endlessly as long as you have the resources. This method is best for mid and late game. To craft Antiseptic in Arc Raiders you need:
- 10x Chemicals
- 2x Great Mullein
- 1x Antiseptic
You can find Great Mullein in watery areas like Testing Annex lower floor. Chemicals are easy from recycling basics.
Method #3: Recycle Loot
The final method of farming Antiseptic is through recycling looted or bought medical items in your Refiner.
- Sterilized Bandage → 1x Antiseptic
- Vita Spray → 1x Antiseptic (+ Canisters)
- Rusted Shut Medical Kit → 1x Antiseptic
With these three farming methods you can get a ton of Antiseptic in Arc Raiders.
