New Ingame Event "The Tarkov Mystery" (2024)

05/15

Today's update is timed with a new in-game event.
As always, it begins with a task, this time the first task is given by the Skier.
You will find a list of quests, their descriptions, tasks and rewards in this article, information will be added and updated.

Tasks:

1. Skier - "The Tarkov Mystery"
You need to find a special flash drive. According to some information from players, you can find them anywhere where regular flash drives can spawn (drawers, safes, jackets, Scavs). Take the flash drive out of the raid and hand it to the Skier. Spoiler - you will need few of those, so try to save any extra flashdrives you find.

2. Skier - "Break Through".
As it turned out, decrypting the content of a flash drive is not so easy and the help of a Mechanic is needed.

3. Mechanic - "Decryption Hurdles - Part 1"
To decrypt the flash drive Mechanic will ask you to bring 5 CPUs, 5 RAM sticks and 3 SSD drives. UPD. 3 CPUs, 3 RAMs and 2 SSDs. CPUs and RAM can be found in computers all around Tarkov. SSDs in computers or drawers.

4. Mechanic - "Decryption Hurdles - Part 2"
We continue to help the Mechanic with decypher shenanigans. In this task it is necessary to stash

in the radar building (the "Dome") on the Reserve. Stash place is right under the dome-roof near the boxes. A gyrotachometer can be purchased at a flea market. You also need to use

while standing on the roof of a building.

5. Mechanic - "Decryption Hurdles - Part 3"
Someone caught up on the Mechanic's assistants and shot them, your task is to start a clean-up and eliminate 10 Scavs on Customs.
After completion of this task you will unlock a new quest flash drive craft on your intelligence center which is free and takes 15 minutes to finish. But a new flash drive is needed because Mechanic's men were killed and a flash drive is lost!

6. Peacekeeper - "U Turn"

8a. Skier - "Photo Hunt"
Skier wants you to install 4 Wi-Fi cameras in TerraGroup HQ on Ground Zero.
Four places:
1) At the parking doorway
2) At the barricaded stairway
3) At the office #3 bookshelf
4) At the office #4 corner (

is required, you can find it in a corpse on 1st floor near elevators)

8b. Peacekeeper - "No Peeking!"
