Life of a Pharmacist is less a scavenger hunt than a four-stop memory test, and that distinction saves a lot of time in Arc Raiders. You aren't searching for medicine, rare loot, or a hidden quest item from the ARC Raiders Items pool. Lance wants proof of the pharmacist's private life, and every answer is upstairs inside Arbusto Farmacia.

Start at the Right Building

Take Buried City toward Piazza Arbusto and look for the large green building marked "Farmacia" beside the collapsed highway. The location matters because another medical storefront won't advance this mission. From what I've seen, the biggest time loss comes from entering a similar-looking shop, searching the ground floor, then assuming the quest marker is unreliable. The pharmacy entrance may need a noisy forced opening, so pause outside first and listen for footsteps, gunfire, ARC activity, or a nearby squad.

The Four Clues, Without the Guesswork

Once inside, head upstairs rather than clearing every shelf below. The interaction order isn't mandatory, but this route keeps your movement simple: picture at the upper landing for family, piano in the upstairs room for skills, potted plant on the dresser or cabinet for hobbies, and dining table near the next staircase for taste. The plant and table are the two easy misses because neither looks like an obvious quest object.

Family: interact with the framed picture.
Skills: interact with the piano.
Hobbies: aim at the potted plant itself.
Taste: interact with the dining table.

What Each Interaction Really Means

The wording makes more sense once you stop treating the pharmacist as a job title. The picture points to relationships, the piano suggests an ability outside work, the plant represents a quiet pastime, and the table reflects personal style. That is why searching for medical books or professional tools leads nowhere. The quest deliberately shifts your attention from the shop's function to the person who lived above it.

Do This, Not That

Bring a modest loadout when the mission is your only goal; there is no reason to risk expensive gear for four quick interactions. Enter, take the stairs, keep your crosshair on the marked object, and check each objective update before moving on. Do not stay downstairs to loot every container first, and don't assume the building is safe after the door closes. At least in my experience, the best opening is to wait through an active fight nearby, then make one direct push upstairs.

Route Choice and Raid Risk

The mission itself is short, but the decision after completion changes the risk profile. Extraction isn't required for the four updates to count, so you can leave the building immediately once the list is complete. A quick comparison helps set expectations.

Rewards and the Detail Players Miss

Turning in Life of a Pharmacist gives one Defibrillator, one Surge Shield Recharger, and three units of sterile wound-care material. Still, the more useful long-term reward may be learning the building's position and upstairs layout for later Buried City runs. If an interaction fails to register, aim at the object rather than nearby furniture, confirm the correct building, and check that all four entries updated before leaving. Once you understand that the pharmacy below is the profession and the apartment above is the biography, the quest becomes a clean, low-grind route-and a sensible reason to carry cheap ARC Raiders Items rather than your best kit.
