‘Espresso’ quest walkthrough in Arc Raiders

On paper, the “Espresso” quest in Arc Raiders is actually quite easy. All you need to do is find an espresso machine and collect the parts. Problem is, the espresso machine isn’t an item you can loot normally. You actually need to obtain espresso machine parts, which can only be interacted with while the quest is active.

There are a few locations you can find an espresso machine in Arc Raiders, but one of them is much more straightforward than the others. That’s because the quest itself advises you to go to Buried City, the smallest map in the game, although both Dam Battlegrounds and Blue Gate also house espresso machines too. Here’s where you can find the Arc Raiders espresso machine and complete the quest.

As mentioned, all you need to do in this quest is get your hands on the espresso machine parts for Apollo, then safely extract with them in your inventory. Doing this will reward you with one coffee pot and three adrenaline shots, along with access to the next quest in the list.

Espresso machine locations in Arc Raiders

To find the espresso machine on Buried City, you need to go to Plaza Rosa, specifically to the building with the Cafe Da Rosa sign above it. This is right next to one of the train station entrances though, so it’s a hotspot for players, not to mention the Bastion or Bombardier that is often patrolling Main Street nearby.

Enter the cafe and you’ll find the espresso machine on the counter inside. Interact with it and boom, you’ll receive the espresso machine parts. Stick them in your safe pocket then head to extract as quickly — and safely — as you can.

If you decide to look for the espresso machine elsewhere, you’ll want to head to Testing Annex on Dam Battlegrounds. A couple can be found in either the entrance area, or upstairs in the canteen. Alternatively, you can head to Village on Blue Gate, where the easternmost house will have one by the front door.

Wherever you get your espresso machine parts from, take them back to Apollo safely and you’ll complete the quest. Need help with more quests and objectives in Arc Raiders?
