Alongside loot like Rusted Gears and Laboratory Reagents, Rusted Shut Medical Kits are a type of material that will feel plentiful until you actually need them to upgrade your stations back home in Speranza. Rusted Shut Medical Kits are required to upgrade to Medical Lab III. In fact, you’ll need three of them. This can feel impossible given how rare Rusted Shut Medical Kits seem when you’re actually searching for them.

Rusted Shut Medical Kits spawn in areas marked as containing Medical loot, giving you quite a few options on several maps, but some areas have better spawn rates and should be prioritized. In this guide, we’ll walk you through where to find Rusted Shut Medical Kits in Arc Raiders for the Medical Lab III upgrade.

To find Rusted Shut Medical Kits in Arc Raiders, you’ll need to search Medical loot buildings and areas. The best place we’ve come across to reliably find them is Testing Annex in Dam Battlegrounds. It’s the large square building located in the southeast of the map, on the border with Red Lakes.

They spawn in containers, drawers, and cabinets, as well as occasionally on desks, research stations, and chemical racks. Drawers are your best bet here, along with containers that you need to breach and search. They appear as rusty rectangular boxes. To make finding them easier, it’s worth tracking them back in Speranza so that you see the little eyeball symbol next to them when looting. Just watch out for the Fireballs that roam the corridors.

Other than Testing Annex, the Hospital in Buried City is another reliable spot, especially the upper floors. The only snag here is that the Hospital gets a lot of foot traffic, so you’ll likely be competing with other raiders for Rusted Shut Medical Kits.

Otherwise, Medical Research on Stellis Montis is a veritable trove of Rusted Shut Medical Kits, but again, it’s heavily contested, and the map itself is more-or-less guaranteed to cough up heated PvP encounters. That said, if you do venture out that way, you can always take a Free Loadout if you’re worried about losing precious loot. However, you’re better off with the relative calm of Testing Annex.
