The Digging up Dirt quest in ARC Raiders is a relatively straightforward one, but the fully released version of the game has a twist.
This quest begins once you obtain it from Celeste. It requires you to find a dead drop in a specific location. Accessing this location used to be significantly easier during betas compared to the full version of the game. However, this guide will help you to finish the job at hand without any problem.

ARC Raiders Digging up Dirt quest walkthrough
The Digging up Dirt quest can be broken down into the following parts.
- Locate the Santa Maria Houses in Old Town
- Locate the Dead Drop inside the courtyard
The Santa Maria Houses can be found in the Old Town region of Buried City. I have marked the location you need to reach. During the earlier tech tests, there was a window that led us directly to the dead drop.

Now, that route is no longer available. Instead, you'll want to go to the location I have marked above. To reach it, use the ledge in the screenshot (small red arrow). This will allow you to jump onto the roof by using an open latch.
Get down through the opening, and use the zipline in front of you. This will help you reach the courtyard. Go close to the dead drop to complete the quest. You can then breach the window to your left to escape. Going close to the dead drop will allow you to search it for any clues (a must for completing the quest). How you escape the location from there is up to you, and successful extraction isn't necessary.

Speak with Celeste when you're back in Speranza to complete the quest.
