How To Craft Medicine in Arc Raiders

Medicine in Arc Raiders covers both health and shield recovery. Healing can be done instantly or gradually, depending on the crafted item. Players can use the Med Station at their base or craft in-raid using collected materials. Upgrading your Med Station allows access to stronger medical supplies that restore more health or provide shield regeneration.
Arc Raiders Medicine Crafting
Medical crafting in Arc Raiders is essential for surviving raids and maintaining your squad’s endurance. Players can craft healing items, shield restorers, and revival kits both at their base and during missions. Materials like Fabric, Plastic Parts, and Antiseptic define the quality of the crafted item. Advanced Med Stations unlock stronger recipes such as Sterilized Bandage, Vita Shot, and Vita Spray for endgame healing.
Access the Crafting Menu during raids or use the Med Station at your base.
- Gather materials like Fabric, Chemicals, Moss, or Antiseptic.
- Upgrade the Med Station using ARC Alloys and Fabric to unlock advanced tiers.
- Use Scrappy the Rooster NPC to passively collect materials between raids.
- Manage your stash capacity and store crafted medical items for later use.
Crafting in-raid consumes twice as many materials compared to base crafting. Shields act as temporary buffers and don’t increase total health. Always equip crafted medical items in your quick-use slot to activate them mid-combat.
