Buried City's the one place where I'll happily risk a full bag, because every alley feels like it's hiding a play. If I'm planning meds, quest progress, and a clean exit, I'm looping back to Arbusto Farmacia again and again, and I'll even check prices on cheapest Arc Raiders items before I load in so I'm not stuck running a broken kit. The POI isn't huge, but it matters: it sits in that awkward pocket where you can get punished from range if you sprint like you own the street.



Getting There Without Donating Your Gear

You're aiming for the east side around Piazza Arbusto, tucked southwest of Town Hall. The map makes it look simple, but the approach is what gets people killed. If you spawn near Blue Gate, don't take the obvious road line into the square. Folks love perching near the highway angle and watching that lane. Cut through the parking garage ruins instead. It's slower, sure, but you get cover, better audio, and you can pause on corners to check for a silhouette. When you see that faded green "Farmacia" sign against the concrete and dust, you're close enough to start thinking about how you're leaving, not just how you're entering.



Inside The Pharmacy: Loot First, Noise Second

Downstairs is your quick win. Shelves, floor clutter, and the main counter usually cough up the everyday meds that keep you alive between fights. The trap is getting greedy and lingering in the front where the windows and doorlines can be watched. I clear fast, then I move. Also, try not to go loud. Harvesters that wander near the highway don't need much of a reason to drift over, and once they do, the whole block feels smaller. Suppressor helps, but so does discipline: close doors, stop sprinting, and listen for someone else doing the exact same loop.



Life Of A Pharmacist: Photo Order That Actually Works

If you're here for "Life of a Pharmacist," the upstairs apartment is the real job. People rush it and get pinned in the back rooms. Do it in a clean order so you're not doubling back through exposed hallways. 1) Grab the family portrait in the living room first. It's usually the easiest angle and you can bail quickly if you hear steps. 2) Hit the kitchen next. Short sightlines, quick in and out. 3) Take the workbench shot after that, since it tends to pull you toward the noisier side of the apartment. 4) Leave the bedroom desk for last because it's a dead end, and if someone pushes while you're in there, you're basically negotiating with your own bad choices.



The Little Cache, The Big Temptation

One thing I don't see mentioned much: that back storage area downstairs sometimes has a loose panel with a hidden cache. It's not a guaranteed spawn, but I've had more hits when I clear the main counter loot first, then swing back and check the panel like I'm doing a second sweep. When it pays, it really pays—crafting mats, the kind that save you a whole evening of "one more run." And yeah, if you're on a rough streak and you'd rather skip the rebuild grind, some players just top up through services like u4gm so they can keep running quests instead of scraping for bandages, then get right back to Arbusto with a kit that won't fold in the first hallway fight.
