Celeste's Digging Up Dirt assignment sounds straightforward, but the Santa Maria Houses can waste a whole raid if you search them like normal street-level buildings. Bring a light kit, keep some room for loot, and don't overthink ARC Raiders Items before heading out. The job takes place in Old Town on Buried City, and the dead drop is not sitting in an obvious outdoor square. It's hidden in an enclosed courtyard buried inside the building. That one detail changes everything.
Take the High Route to the Courtyard
A lot of players circle the houses, test doors, and poke through alleys until someone starts shooting. Don't do that. The useful entrance is above you. Once you reach Old Town, look north of the marked Santa Maria Houses and start checking the connected rooftops. The yellow bell tower is a decent landmark, though you don't actually want to run straight at it. The upper entry is closer to the pink section beside it.

1. Deploy into Buried City and make your way toward Old Town.
   
2. Reach the Santa Maria Houses marker to clear the location part of the task.
   
3. Pause outside for a moment and listen for Raiders, ARC patrols, or fighting on the roofs.
   
4. Climb onto the rooftops north of the Santa Maria Houses using nearby ledges, walkways, and accessible buildings.
   
5. Use the yellow bell tower as a reference, then move toward the neighbouring pink-toned roof section.
   
6. Find the open upper window, hatch, or roof gap and enter the structure from above.
   
7. Follow the interior route downward, using the zipline if it is available from your entry point.
   
8. Pass through the opening in the wall to reach the small courtyard filled with sand.
   
9. Walk to the fountain near the middle, interact with the dead drop, and wait until the quest tracker confirms it.
   

Don't sprint into the courtyard just because you've found it. The room is cramped, and enemies can be above you or tucked around the edges. If the way to the fountain is clear, do the interaction first and worry about crates later. You don't need to carry a quest item out, either; progress is saved when the dead drop is searched. Afterward, leave by the safest route you can find. If you're already planning future runs, checking ARC Raiders Bp for sale can help you line up supplies for the next job, but this quest itself is mostly about spotting the right entrance and staying calm on the roof.
