Navigating the post-apocalyptic world of ARC Raiders requires both tactical awareness and a keen eye for subtle environmental story elements. The Life of a Pharmacist quest tasking players to investigate how pre-collapse medical professionals lived offers a unique blend of narrative discovery and high-stakes exploration. Completing this assignment efficiently ensures you earn essential medical supplies without lingering too long in high-danger combat zones.
Finding the Arbusto Farmacia
To begin the mission, head toward the center of the Buried City map until you reach Piazza Arbusto. Look for a large building featuring a distinctive green sign that reads FARMACIA. The main entrance is often locked, meaning you will need to breach the door or enter through open upper windows. Breaching can alert nearby ARC machines and rival raiders, so prepare your weapons before forcing entry.
Documenting Family and Skills
Once inside the pharmacy, head up the stairs located on the northeast side to reach the upper living quarters. Directly in front of the top staircase landing, you will find a set of wall portraits representing the pharmacist's family. Equip your camera or interact with the portraits to document the family aspect of the quest. Turn around in the same room to locate a piano, which you must interact with to record the pharmacist's skill.
Locating Hobbies and Taste
Proceed into the adjoining room on the upper floor to locate the remaining two objectives. Look for potted plants on top of a cabinet or shelf against the wall to document the pharmacist's personal hobbies. Next, turn around toward the dining table positioned under the staircase in that same area. Interacting with the table completes the final objective by documenting the pharmacist's taste.
Claiming Rewards and Safety Tips
A major advantage of this quest is that extraction is not strictly required to complete the objective. Once all four items are documented, the mission progress saves automatically to your profile. If you do survive and return to Lance in Speranza, you will receive valuable items including a Defibrillator, a Surge Shield Recharger, and Sterilized Bandages.
