The Vita Shot is a rare medical item in Arc Raiders. It restores a large amount of health and is designed for quick use during combat or emergencies. Most players carry it as a reliable mid- to late-game healing option when basic consumables are no longer enough.

What Is the Vita Shot?

Vita Shot is a Quick Use healing item with strong recovery and a short activation time. It is heavier than basic heals, but the value it provides usually justifies the weight.

Key Stats

How to Get the Vita Shot Blueprint

To craft Vita Shot consistently, you must first unlock its blueprint. There are two known sources.

1. Scavenging

• The blueprint or the item itself can appear as loot during raids.
• Drops are random and not guaranteed.
• Useful early on, but unreliable if you need steady access.

2. Crafting (Blueprint Required)

• Once the blueprint is learned, crafting becomes the main method.
• This is the most reliable way to keep Vita Shots stocked.

Crafting the Vita Shot

After unlocking the blueprint, Vita Shot can be crafted at the Medical Lab.

For players who want steady access without relying on random drops, some choose to buy Arc Raiders Vita Shot blueprints from SHANNENG. It’s simply another option for those who prefer to spend more time playing and less time repeating raids, while still using the same in-game crafting systems once the blueprint is unlocked in ARC Raiders.

Vita Shot Blueprint Location

The Vita Shot Blueprint does not spawn in a fixed or guaranteed location. Instead, it's part of the general blueprint loot pool, meaning it drops randomly from higher-value loot sources across different maps.

Most players obtain it through regular scavenging rather than targeting a single spot.

Common Places It Can Drop

• High-tier containers. Red lockers, reinforced crates, Raider Caches, and other rare containers have the highest chance to drop blueprints.
• High-risk areas. Zones with tougher enemies and denser loot—such as underground facilities, industrial complexes, or late-game map sections—tend to reward better items overall.
• Special raid conditions. Night raids or matches with harsher environmental conditions often feel more rewarding, though drops are still governed by RNG.

There is no confirmed guaranteed spawn. Repeated runs and thorough looting are the only reliable approach.

How to Use Vita Shots Effectively

Vita Shots are best used deliberately, not casually.

• Emergency healing. Use one when you're low on health and still under threat.
• Mid-fight recovery. They allow you to quickly reset your health during combat instead of retreating.
• Team support. In coordinated play, medical items can help keep teammates alive during tough encounters.

Because they heal instantly, they're especially valuable in late-game raids where mistakes are costly.

Recycle and Salvage Results

If you no longer need a Vita Shot, it can be recycled or salvaged for materials.

When Should You Use Vita Shot?

Vita Shot works best in situations where:

• You need a strong heal without using multiple items.
• You expect sustained fights rather than quick skirmishes.
• Inventory space is limited and you want high value per slot.

Because it takes 4 seconds to use, timing matters. Most players activate it behind cover or after breaking line of sight.

Practical Tips

• Carry one or two Vita Shots rather than a full stack to manage weight.
• Pair it with faster, weaker heals for flexibility.
• Crafting is more efficient than relying on scavenged drops.

The Vita Shot blueprint is essential for players who want consistent access to strong healing. While scavenging can work early on, crafting at Medical Lab Level 3 is the most dependable approach. Once unlocked, Vita Shot becomes a dependable part of most loadouts, especially in longer or riskier raids.
