U4GM How to Beat Arc Raiders Industrial Espionage Quest Fast

Some blueprints in Arc Raiders feel optional, right up until you run into a sweaty squad in a stairwell and realise your sidearm's basically a toy. That's why the Burletta pistol keeps coming up in chat, and why the Industrial Espionage quest is worth doing early. If you're still figuring out what's actually worth chasing (and what parts you'll need later), it helps to browse ARC Raiders Items before you sink time and coins into the wrong stuff.

Quest Prereqs And The One Easy Mistake

Industrial Espionage comes from Tian Wen in Speranza, but she won't hand it over until you've finished "Eyes On The Prize." Once it pops, read the objective twice because the game is picky: you must plant a Burletta I, and it has to be the plain version. No attachments, no upgrades, no "close enough" tier swap. If you don't have one, buy it from Tian Wen for 8,700 coins and leave it untouched. Also, don't set it as your active weapon. Keep it in your inventory so the trigger checks you off properly, then queue into a Buried City raid.

Getting To The Stash Without Getting Farmed

You're heading to the Outskirts, and the Gas Station is the problem child of that whole area. It's open ground, long sightlines, and people love posting up with a view. Try to come in from the north side of the POI and use whatever cover you can find, even if it means slowing down. You're not trying to clear the main building. You're slipping behind it, where the clutter is, and where players don't always look first when they're hunting.

Finding The Cache And Planting The Bug

Behind the Gas Station, look for big circular containers, then move east toward the tall platforms. The landmark that usually clicks is a wrecked vehicle half sunk in dirt, with a random blue sofa nearby. The cache itself is a rusty container that blends into the sand, sitting between those platforms and that wrecked car. Walk right up until the interact prompt appears, stash the Burletta I, then immediately move to the back side of the cache and interact again to plant the bug. Don't jog off after the first prompt; a lot of people do that and wonder why the quest didn't count.

Cash-In Value And What To Do Next

Once both interactions register, the objective is complete, and you don't have to extract for credit, which takes some pressure off. Still, if you've got other loot, it's smart to play it slow and get out clean because the Gas Station approaches can turn into a shooting gallery fast. The turn-in reward is what you're really here for: the Burletta Blueprint, plus some mechanical components and simple gun parts, so you can keep crafting a dependable secondary without burning your stash. If you're short on coins for the buy-in weapon or you're trying to speed up your loadout plans, some players also use U4GM to pick up game currency and items and keep their runs moving instead of grinding the same route all night.
