To improve your experience in Arc Raiders, make sure to upgrade all the stations in your Workshop. One of the most important is the Medical Lab, which allows you to craft strong healing items using scrap you collect while playing. To do this, you need to gather different items of varying rarity, including the Rusted Shut Medical Kit.
At first glance, the Rusted Shut Medical Kit might seem like a useless item, but it’s actually a key resource for upgrading your Medical Lab to Level 3. During your gameplay, aim to pick up at least three of these kits.
Where to find Rusted Shut Medical Kits?
You can locate these kits at places that focus on medical supplies. Although they appear in several spots across two main maps, the best locations to find them are:
– Hospital, Research, and Plaza Rosa in Buried City
– Testing Annex in Dam Battlegrounds
Among these, I recommend checking out the Hospital in Buried City first. This is the only dedicated medical location in the game right now, so the loot isn’t split with other types of supplies as it is in other areas.
Located in the northern part of the map, the Hospital is a large building with three floors you can explore. Two of these floors contain loot. Keep in mind, many players also go there, so you might run into other players or find the location already looted.
If you don’t find what you need at the Hospital, your next best bet is the Testing Annex in the southeastern part of Dam Battlegrounds. While this location shares its loot pool with the Commercial Goods category, I’ve had a good chance of finding at least one Rusted Shut Medical Kit each time I’ve checked there.
Most of the lootable areas where these kits appear are on the second floor, particularly on the western side of the building. Inside, there’s a corridor filled with shelves, medical tables, and drawers—ample spots to search through, as shown in the picture above. The building is also conveniently located near the Red Lakes Balcony Lift, which can help you escape quickly.
Be careful—this area sees a lot of chaos, with Leapers and Rocketeers often hanging around the Testing Annex, so stay alert.
Additionally, several other locations in Buried City can have Rusted Shut Medical Kits, like Research, Piazza Arbusto, and Plaza Rosa. Of these, Plaza Rosa and Research are more likely to have the kits, but they are harder to find. Only visit these if you’re already passing through or have completed visits to the other sites.
Once you find a Rusted Shut Medical Kit, it’s a good idea to store it in your Safe Pocket. Since these kits are not very common, you’ll want to keep it safe from enemies or accidental drops to ensure you can use it when you need it most.
