Escape From Tarkov Chemical – Part 1 Quest Details

Chemical – Part 1 Quest Dialogue

So, Sherlock, you want a riddle? You’re our pro on these headcrackers, right? Here, look. One lame hobo came around here. Either nuts of just demented, hell if I knew. All in rags, dirty head to toe, and the stench! A walking chemical weapon. Launched one on some vector, and where he goes, everything dies off. Hehe. Oh, damn, laughter through tears. But I digress. Just wanted to dispose of him, a bit farther away so the stink wouldn’t reach us, but one of our boys recognized his former homie in that pile of turd. Imagine that! Horrid things are going on, turning people from normal to such rubbish for shit! But not the point. The dude that recognized this heap of rags, said that he was not just a regular prick, but a Deputy Head of Security for two special sensitive zones on the Polikhim! Just imagine what kind of source could he become if he could at least remember his name, not just chew snots and mumble while slapping lips like mad. What a shame! I don’t know what got to him, but here’s what I think. All this time that bagger existed somewhere, sleeping on some pissed-through mattresses? Right! You should look for that. Need a hazmat suit? Haha, kidding. But if it comes to it, the hazmat’s on me, and not only it.

Reward Dialogue

How long I live and wonder still. How was he surviving all this time? He can’t put two words together! Whatever. Let’s first disinfect all this and wash it with cologne, and then open it and have a look.

Guide

This quest is pretty straightforward. All you need to do is find Folder 0013, hidden behind a box in a Train car on the east side of the map. We would jump straight to the imagery and let you know about its exact placement for a better explanation.

Now you may have the idea where to go, but in any case, I will post close-up images of the train car and quest item itself below:

Make sure you survive, extract the raid, and return the item to Skier. The quest also requires you to hand Skier over Dorm Room 220 key, which can be bought from the FLEA Market and does not need to be found in raid. Just buy it and hand it over to Skier. For the next quest, he will give it back to you.

The quest leads to Chemical – Part 2 and unlocks Polikhim Hobo by Prapor.
