A Reveal in Ruins is a short, single-round task about securing a specific quest item and turning it in without dying or leaving early. The item you need is the ESR Analyzer, and it spawns inside pharmacies in Buried City. After you pick it up, you must extract and deliver it to Lance in the same match to complete the quest.
| Task | Details |
|---|---|
| Objective 1 | In one round, search for an ESR Analyzer inside any pharmacy in Buried City. |
| Objective 2 | Extract and deliver the ESR Analyzer to Lance. |
| Rewards | 33,000 XP. An additional item reward may vary by build. |
Where to find the ESR Analyzer (Buried City pharmacies)
You’re looking for pharmacies in Buried City. These shops are marked by classic pharmacy signage and tend to sit near the plazas. Once inside, head to the front counter — that’s the most common interaction point — and look for a yellow task marker indicating the quest container or pickup.
Expect to breach a locked door to get inside, and plan for resistance around the storefront. Clear the area or move quickly; either way, minimize the time you spend exposed at the entrance.
Quick summary: secure and extract in one run
- Enter Buried City and move to a pharmacy location.
- Go to the main counter and interact with the yellow quest marker.
- After interacting, the ESR Analyzer will pop out as a separate object — pick up the Analyzer itself.
- Once it’s in your hands, rotate to an exit, extract, and turn it in to Lance within the same match.
Avoid the common reset mistake
The most frequent failure case is extracting with the wrong item or leaving without physically picking up the Analyzer after searching the container. Interacting alone is not enough — you must grab the ESR Analyzer that spawns and carry it out. If you extract with another item (like a tape) or miss the spawned Analyzer, the quest won’t progress and will appear to reset.
Quick checks before you leave the pharmacy:
- Confirm the quest tracker advanced after you picked up the ESR Analyzer.
- Make sure “Analyzer” is what you collected — not a look‑alike loot item.
- Stay alive through extraction; dying or leaving without the item will void the run.
Turn-in, tracking, and known quirks
Hand the Analyzer to Lance after extracting to finish the quest. The completion logic is strict: the search, pickup, and delivery must all happen in one round. If you’re in a squad, teammate interactions on the yellow-marked objective count toward progression, but the Analyzer still needs to be picked up and brought out.
Expect 33,000 XP on completion. The item reward tied to this quest can differ by build, so don’t be surprised if your post-mission payout includes a different bonus than a friend’s.
Bottom line: go to a Buried City pharmacy, interact at the yellow marker, pick up the Analyzer that spawns, and extract to Lance — all in a single outing. If it “resets,” you likely left without the Analyzer itself or didn’t trigger the pickup properly at the counter.
