The A Reveal in Ruins quest in Arc Raiders is a classic “search and secure” mission from Lance — and honestly, one of the easier ones if you know where to look. The tricky part isn’t finding the ESR Analyzer… it’s making it out alive with it.
This guide breaks down the exact pharmacy location, how to identify the ESR Analyzer instantly, and the safest way to extract without losing your loot (or your sanity).
🧭 A Reveal in Ruins Quest Objectives
You get this quest from Lance, and the mission is simple on paper:
- Search a pharmacy in Buried City
- Find the ESR Analyzer
- Extract with it
- Deliver it to Lance
📍 Step 1 — Go to Piazza Arbusto (Buried City)
Once you deploy into Buried City, your destination is the Piazza Arbusto district.
Look for:
- Green Cross Signs → These mark pharmacies
- Glass shop fronts
- Medical shelves and counters inside
The ESR Analyzer always spawns on the front counter, not hidden in the back rooms or shelves.
Once you’re close enough, a yellow quest marker appears.
Tip for New Players:
Some runs will have the pharmacy already looted. If the Analyzer is missing, you must try again in another raid — it does not respawn during the same run.
🟡 Step 2 — Pick Up the ESR Analyzer
When you reach the counter:
- Interact with the yellow icon
- Pick up the ESR Analyzer.
Important:
- Stash it in your Prison Pocket
💀 Step 3 — Extract Safely
Extract at the nearest extraction point. Simple enough!
🎁 A Reveal in Ruins Quest Rewards
When completed, Lance gives you:
- 33,000 XP
- Tactical MK.3 (Healing)
- Surge Shield Recharger
A great set of rewards for early-mid players, especially the Tactical MK.3 heal tool.
