Quest Guide: Doctor's Orders

Area Objective walkthrough for Doctor's Orders with objectives, prep, route order, and extract notes.

Doctor's Orders is a quest run in ARC Raiders. This version is written as a practical raid plan: what to bring, the order to run the steps in, and what usually kills the run once the quest is technically done.

Objective list

  • Obtain 1 Syringe
  • Obtain 2 Antiseptic
  • Obtain 1 Durable Cloth
  • Obtain 1 Great Mullein

What to bring

  • A reliable mid-range primary and a sidearm or close-range backup; most quest deaths happen while rotating, not while looting.
  • Put any required stash items in your secure slot or the safest inventory space before you queue. Do not trust yourself to remember them after you deploy.

Bring these items in from stash

  • Syringe x1
  • Antiseptic x2
  • Durable Cloth x1
  • Great Mullein x1

If one of these items fits in a safe pocket, use it. The easiest way to brick a clean route is to lose the one thing the objective needs.

How to run it

Plan the raid around the first named objective and your nearest safe extract, not around the fattest loot route. If the quest item drops into your inventory, the raid is now an escort mission and everything else is optional.

  1. Step 1: Obtain 1 Syringe

    Treat this as the hand-off moment. If the item can fit in a safe pocket, do that immediately. If not, stop gambling and start planning your extract.

  2. Step 2: Obtain 2 Antiseptic

    Treat this as the hand-off moment. If the item can fit in a safe pocket, do that immediately. If not, stop gambling and start planning your extract.

  3. Step 3: Obtain 1 Durable Cloth

    Treat this as the hand-off moment. If the item can fit in a safe pocket, do that immediately. If not, stop gambling and start planning your extract.

  4. Step 4: Obtain 1 Great Mullein

    Treat this as the hand-off moment. If the item can fit in a safe pocket, do that immediately. If not, stop gambling and start planning your extract.

Where players usually throw this quest

  • Forgetting a required stash item, or carrying it in a loose slot where one bad decision turns the run into a wipe.
  • Finishing the item step and then greed-looting instead of extracting while the objective is still fresh and uncontested.
  • Taking a fight on the way out just because you hear it. Quest raids are won by discipline, not by K/D.

Miswired note

Use the named area as your anchor, then plan your extract before you touch the objective. That matters more than another backpack worth of salvage on Area Objective.
