Escape From Tarkov “Setup” Quest Details

Setup Quest Dialogue

That fake intel worked out just as planned, man! Those morons wanted to ambush my couriers but got caught by surprise themselves, he-he. Although, now we’re having some serious trouble with those pricks. Though my guys are not complete nitwits, some help would still be appreciated. So here’s the plan: this gang has their own outfits, their key-fighters wear ushankas, Scav vests, and often use shotguns. What a bunch of clowns, aren’t they? So what you should do is dress up like one of them (Scav Vest, Ushanka ear flap hat, and MP-series shotguns) and smoke PMCs. I don’t care about factions, the important thing is to just get PMCs into this to fight those morons. You get what’s gonna happen, yeah?

My guys are saying that Customs is at World War 3 right now, BEARs and USECs are dropping Scavs left and right! Good shit, nice work. Here’s your prize, as promised.

Guide

The quest is best paired with Silent Caliber, the quest given by Skier. As instructed in its guide, it’s best and most effective if you do these two quests at the same time.

Shotguns qualified for this quest:

  • MP-133 12ga pump-action
  • MP-153 12ga semi-automatic
  • MP-155 12ga semi-automatic

You need to have the following items equipped for the kills to count:
