Navigating the early missions in Arc Raiders requires a firm understanding of the map layout and a strategic approach to extraction. Among the initial tasks handed out by Lance, the Prescriptions of the Past quest challenges players to venture into one of the most heavily contested zones on the map. Securing the required medical records demands tactical patience, especially for solo players attempting to slip past aggressive hostile forces.
Locating the Spaceport Departure Building
To begin this objective, raiders must deploy into the ruins and head directly toward the massive Spaceport complex. The main destination is the Departure Building, an expansive structure easily identified by its crumbling infrastructure and distinct terminal signage. Because this area frequently attracts rival players and heavily armed drones, approaching stealthily remains the safest strategy.
Before breaching the main perimeter, it is highly recommended to scan the surrounding entry points for active threats. Utilizing the secondary access tunnels or broken window frames can help you avoid direct line-of-sight confrontations near the main entrance gates. Once inside, maintaining a low profile will significantly increase your chances of reaching the upper levels unharmed.
Navigating to the Second Floor Medical Room
After successfully securing entry into the Departure Building, your next task is to locate the vertical transit points to reach the second floor. Look for the main stairwells or structural debris piles that allow access to the upper walkways overlooking the terminal floor. Be vigilant while ascending, as tight corners can hide unexpected patrolling mechanical threats.
Once you arrive on the second level, search the corridors for a room marked by a green placard displaying a clean white cross symbol. This distinct visual indicator confirms you have successfully located the designated medical examination facility. Clear the immediate threshold before attempting to step inside to ensure you are not cornered during the search process.
Securing the Medical Records and Extracting Safely
Inside the medical examination room, interact directly with the metal filing cabinets and desks to uncover the old-world medical journals. Gathering these documents satisfies Lance's requirements, but the mission is far from complete until you leave the area alive. Pocket the items quickly and plan an alternative exit route away from the primary path you used to enter.
Before sprinting toward the nearest extraction point, take a moment to evaluate the status of the surrounding extraction zones. Avoid highly visible pathways and rely heavily on environmental cover to shield your movement from distant sniper fire. Safely calling in the extraction vessel completes the loop, allowing you to return to safety with your hard-earned quest rewards.
