If you’ve been working through the assignment board for Lance, the eccentric in-game trader, you’ve certainly encountered the “Prescriptions of the Past” quest in *Arc Raiders*. This mission requires players to venture deep into the Spaceport zone and specifically target the Departure Building. Your objective is simple: navigate to the Medical Exam Room and scavenge whatever useful supplies you can find to fulfill Lance’s request.
While the objective is straightforward, the path is anything but safe. Keep in mind that completing this mission does not require you to successfully extract, but the Medical Exam Room is a well-known high-traffic hotspot for player encounters. This makes loadout selection critical.
If you are generally a peace-oriented player who wants to minimize risk, deploying with a free or minimal loadout is the smart move. This ensures that if another squad decides to engage, you won’t suffer a major gear loss while attempting to complete the quest quickly. However, if you’re prepared for the worst—or perhaps hoping for a good fight—bring your best guns and plenty of spare ammunition. That location is almost guaranteed to draw in aggressive PvP operators, offering you plenty of opportunities to test your arsenal. Choose your approach wisely before heading into the Spaceport.
