The oddly stylish mannequin-like medical robot, Lance, has somehow lost his ESR Analyser, whatever that is exactly, claiming it simply poofed out of existence. Cue the A Reveal in Ruins mission in Arc Raiders, where Lance asks you to find another analyser for his research.

Although A Reveal in Ruins has two steps to complete in a single round, it's really only one: find an ESR Analyser inside any pharmacy in Buried City. After that, you just need to deliver it to Lance back at Speranza. With that in mind, I recommend against a free loadout so that you have access to a safe pocket.

There are two pharmacies in Buried City that can contain the ESR Analyser for this quest. Both buildings have "Farmacia" ('pharmacy' in Italian) signs above the door and a green cross sign, too, so it's not hard to recognise them:

One pharmacy is next to the metro stairs at Piazza Arbusto
The other is in the top right corner of Plaza Rosa, at the junction opposite Red Tower

Breach the door and head inside either of the pharmacies, and check the front desk, where you should see a yellow box and a prompt to 'search for parts', which uncovers the quest item.

While both pharmacies are often busy (they're generally good loot locations), I'd recommend the pharmacy at Piazza Arbusto purely because it's literally right next to an extraction point. Plus, you'll need to come back here later for the Life of a Pharmacist quest, so you might as well get acquainted with the place.

Importantly, you need to extract with the ESR Analyser, so don't forget to pick it up—an easy mistake to make considering it's one of the only times where your inventory doesn't automatically open. Again, place it in your safe pocket if you have one, so you don't lose it if you die before extracting; the pharmacies and the plaza areas they're found in are hotspots for other players.

Here's what the pharmacy looks like at Piazza Arbusto, though, as mentioned, the one at Plaza Rosa is very similar:

Most quests are rewarding, but A Reveal in Ruins feels particularly lucrative, as Lance gives you an epic-quality Tactical MK.3 healing augment and a Surge Shield Recharger in return for his new analyser.

Rory has made the fatal error of playing way too many live service games at once, and somehow still finding time for everything in between. Sure, he’s an expert at Destiny 2, Call of Duty, and more, but at what cost? He’s even sunk 1,000 hours into The Elder Scrolls Online over the years. At least he put all those hours spent grinding challenges to good use over the years as a freelancer and guides editor. In his spare time, he’s also an avid video creator, often breaking down the environmental design of his favourite games. If you can’t track him down, he’s probably lost in a cave with a bunch of dwarves shouting “rock and stone” to no end.
