Storm Hut (approx., opens in a Flash Freeze)Buried City
Despite accounting for only 10% of direct Antiseptic finds, Buried City is the best map for Antiseptic farming thanks to the Galleria. This location contains massive amounts of Great Mullein, which you can craft into Antiseptic at your Refiner.

Players report finding 18+ Great Mullein in a single run, which translates to 9 Antiseptic when crafted. No other location in the game comes close to this yield.
The Pharmacy in Buried City requires breaching to access but contains guaranteed Medical loot. Players have confirmed finding Antiseptic on shelves and in containers inside this location. The Pharmacy also spawns valuable medical items and occasionally gold-tier loot worth over 7,000 coins.
The Hospital is another solid Medical POI in Buried City. Look for antiseptics on shelves, in drawers, and inside rusted shut medical kits. Be warned that this area is dangerous, with high PvP activity and ARC enemies, including Fireballs.
Dam Battlegrounds
Dam Battlegrounds leads community loot data at 40% of all Antiseptic finds, likely due to an increased amount of medical containers found around the map – those are white duffle bags with a green cross on them, usually tucked into a corner of a building/tower.

So even if you find some, it is much more stressful and likely to be a wasted run than other alternatives.
Riven Tides
Riven Tides has a standard share of Antiseptic finds. There are no Medical areas here, so finds are spread across general containers rather than one spot.
Pendola Pass
Pendola Pass is the newest map, so there aren’t many reports yet and this leans on the game’s own loot data. The Medical loot on Pendola Pass sits in Commissary Supermarket. Commissary Supermarket is a medium-threat area, so it’s busy but manageable.

Any map with Medical markers can spawn Antiseptic. Before deploying, check the map for the medical cross icon indicating Medical areas. Stella Montis and Blue Gate each contribute meaningful percentages to overall Antiseptic drops.
Night raids work just as well as day raids for Antiseptic hunting. The spawns do change based on time of day, so queue for whichever raid fits your playstyle and willingness to take risks.
What Do the Stats Tell Us
Dam Battlegrounds accounts for 40% of all Antiseptic finds, making it the dominant farming map. Stella Montis and The Spaceport each contribute 20%, while Blue Gate and Buried City account for 10% each.
According to community loot data, 50% of all Antiseptic spawns come from generic containers, while the remaining 50% is split between Ammo Crates, Androids, Arc Couriers, Arc Husks, and Med Crates at 10% each. Prioritize containers and med crates when farming Medical areas.
Antiseptic can also drop from ARC enemies like Androids, Arc Couriers, and Arc Husks. If you engage these enemies during your raids, check their drops for potential Antiseptic finds.
Where Is Antiseptic Found
Antiseptic spawns in Medical areas across all maps. These locations are marked on the map with a medical cross icon (plus symbol), making them easy to identify before you deploy. Once inside a Medical area, check shelves, drawers, med crates, and containers for Antiseptic spawns. White Medical cylindrical crates can also be found in many locations, usually hidden slightly.
Hospitals, pharmacies, and clinics are the best places to look when searching for antiseptics. The item can spawn on shelves in plain sight or tucked inside searchable containers. Medical-tagged POIs have a chance of spawning Antiseptic; this includes medical containers scattered around the map.
Unlike most loot items, Antiseptic can also be crafted at your Refiner using Great Mullein and Chemicals. This makes farming Great Mullein an alternative path to obtaining Antiseptic without relying solely on RNG spawns.
How To Craft Antiseptic
The most reliable way to obtain Antiseptic is crafting it at your Refiner. This requires the Refiner II upgrade at your Workshop. Once installed, you can craft Antiseptic using 10 Chemicals and 2 Great Mullein per unit.
Great Mullein is the limiting factor for most players. The glowing plants spawn in specific outdoor areas, with the Buried City Galleria offering the highest concentration in the game. A single Galleria run can yield enough Great Mullein for 9 Antiseptic.
Chemicals are easier to obtain through recycling common items. Many basic materials break down into Chemicals at your Workshop, making them rarely a bottleneck for Antiseptic crafting.
How To Identify Medical Areas
Medical areas are marked on the map with a medical cross icon (plus symbol), so you can plan routes before you deploy with an idea of where to go for Antiseptic. This icon indicates that the POI contains hospitals, pharmacies, or clinics.
Not all Medical areas are created equal. Hospitals and pharmacies tend to have more spawn points than small clinics. Prioritize larger Medical buildings when Antiseptic is your primary goal.
When you arrive at a Medical area, look for shelves, drawers, med crates, and containers. Antiseptic spawns inside these storage points or occasionally on surfaces in plain sight. Open everything you see to maximize your chances of finding it.
Unlike Residential items that spawn on everyday furniture, Antiseptic only appears in Medical contexts. Focus your search on clinical environments and ignore non-medical buildings around Medical POIs.

What Is Antiseptic
Antiseptic is classified as a Rare Refined Material in ARC Raiders. Each Antiseptic weighs 1.0 KG and stacks up to 5 in a single inventory slot. If you need quick cash, Antiseptic sells for 1,000 Raider Coins each at vendors.
The in-game description reads: “Used to craft medical supplies. Can be recycled into chemicals.” This accurately describes its dual purpose as both a crafting ingredient and a source of Chemicals when recycled.
The primary value of Antiseptic comes from crafting medical supplies. Processing Antiseptic at your Workshop yields 10 Chemicals when recycled, while salvaging in the field only produces 5 Chemicals. Always bring Antiseptic back to base when possible.
Why You Need Antiseptic
Antiseptic serves multiple purposes in ARC Raiders: upgrading your Medical Lab and crafting essential healing items. You need 8 Antiseptic to upgrade your Medical Lab to Level 3, and ongoing supplies to craft bandages and medical sprays.
Upgrading the Medical Lab
The Medical Lab Level 3 upgrade requires 8 Antiseptic. This upgrade unlocks advanced medical crafting recipes and improves your ability to produce healing items. Prioritize saving Antiseptic for this upgrade before using it for other crafting.
Save at least 8 Antiseptic before crafting any healing items. Once you complete the Medical Lab Level 3 upgrade, you can freely use additional Antiseptic for Sterilized Bandages and Vita products.
Crafting Medical Items
Antiseptic is used to craft three essential medical items: Sterilized Bandage (requires 1 Antiseptic), Vita Spray (requires 2 Antiseptic), and Vita Shot (requires 2 Antiseptic). These items are crucial for surviving extended raids and recovering from combat.
Sterilized Bandages are the most efficient use of Antiseptic, requiring only 1 unit plus Durable Cloth. Many players prioritize crafting bandages as their primary healing item due to the lower Antiseptic cost.
Recycle vs Sell
Antiseptic sells for 1,000 Raider Coins each. Recycling yields only 500 coins worth of materials (Chemicals x 10 at 50 coins each). Selling gives you 500 more coins directly, making it the better option for pure profit.
We recommend keeping Antiseptic for crafting rather than selling or recycling. The healing items you can create are more valuable than the coins or Chemicals you would receive. Only sell Antiseptic if you have excess inventory and no immediate crafting needs.
Avoid salvaging Antiseptic in the field unless your inventory is completely full. Salvaging yields only 5 Chemicals, which is significantly less value than both selling (1,000 coins) and recycling (10 Chemicals) at your Workshop.
Tips For Farming Antiseptic
Antiseptic stacks to 5 and weighs 1.0 KG each. Plan your inventory space accordingly. A dedicated farming run can net 2-4 Antiseptic if you hit multiple Medical buildings, though crafting from Great Mullein is often more efficient.
To ensure you have a Safe Pocket, equip any Augment in a custom Build. Do not run free loadouts if you plan to farm valuable Rare materials like Antiseptic.
Use your Safe Pocket for Antiseptic whenever possible. If you die during extraction, items in your Safe Pocket are preserved. This protects your valuable finds from being lost to other players or ARC enemies.
Consider farming Great Mullein at the Buried City Galleria instead of hunting for direct Antiseptic spawns. The guaranteed plant spawns convert to predictable Antiseptic yields at your Refiner, removing RNG from the equation.
Check for rusted shut medical kits during your raids. These items can be recycled into Antiseptic at your Workshop, providing an additional source beyond direct spawns and crafting.
If done during Night Raids, drop chances of Antiseptic may increase. If you do not mind the added risk and have Safe Pockets to spare, Night Raids in Medical-heavy maps could yield better results.
- Fewer active Return Points
- No active Raider Hatches
- Increased loot value
Frequently Asked Questions
The best way to get Antiseptic is crafting it at your Refiner II using 10 Chemicals and 2 Great Mullein. Farm Great Mullein at the Buried City Galleria where you can collect 18+ per run, translating to 9 Antiseptic. This method is more reliable than hunting for random spawns.
The Buried City Galleria is hands down the best location for Great Mullein in the entire game. The glowing plants are everywhere on the main floor. Players report collecting 18+ Great Mullein in a single run, which converts to 9 Antiseptic at your Refiner.
You need 8 Antiseptic to upgrade your Medical Lab to Level 3. This should be your first priority before using Antiseptic for crafting healing items. After the upgrade, you will need ongoing Antiseptic supplies for Sterilized Bandages (1 each) and Vita products (2 each).
Antiseptic spawns on shelves, in drawers, inside med crates, and within containers in Medical buildings. Some sit out in the open on surfaces while others require searching containers. Pharmacies and hospitals have the highest spawn density. Check everything in each room to maximize finds.
Neither. Keep Antiseptic for crafting medical items. If you must dispose of it, selling for 1,000 coins is better than recycling for 500 coins worth of Chemicals. Only sell if you have excess inventory and no crafting needs. Never salvage in the field unless completely necessary.
Antiseptic is used to upgrade your Medical Lab to Level 3 (requires 8) and to craft essential healing items. It creates Sterilized Bandages (1 Antiseptic), Vita Spray (2 Antiseptic), and Vita Shot (2 Antiseptic). These medical supplies are crucial for surviving raids.
Yes. Recycling Vita Spray yields 1 Antiseptic, and recycling Sterilized Bandages also yields 1 Antiseptic. Additionally, rusted shut medical kits can be recycled into Antiseptic. This provides alternative sources beyond direct spawns and crafting.
Yes, Antiseptic spawns during both day and night raids, and some players report better drop rates during night runs. Night raids come with added danger but may be worth the risk if you have Safe Pockets available and need Antiseptic quickly.
