Escape From Tarkov What’s on the flash drive Quest Details

Quest Dialogue

Hey there, “operator”, come here. I have a con here. What’s with that look? Don’t like the lingo? Yea, I did time, so what? Why the bad eye? Two stretches, one in a juvie, second – two years in minimum security for disorderly conduct. Enough? We done with that? Finally, we can go without gracious word weaving! So look, there is this con. Can’t say it’s failproof, but might be interesting. One drunken punk’s been blabbing that during the Contract Wars he used to guide several groups of VIPs who did not want to run into soldiers or cops. And I agree with the latter. It’s still possible to deal with war dogs, normal people are not uncommon among them, but cops are no damn good. Well, in the end, he walked through a several of such groups. Oh and fool as he his, he still had enough sense to steal everything he could during breathers. Now that deadbeat swears on his mom’s name that he snatched two flash drives on his latest run. What was on them – if anything at all – he’s got no clue. And he’s been permanently shit-faced for so long that he can’t remember anything at all – no location, no landmarks, nothing. Anyhow, he says there were some bigwigs with the security, so might be worth a while. Check all possible campsites. I know that these paths have been beaten through and through since, but what if, you know?

Guide

At this point, the best location for this could be anywhere. It could be looted in Woods at the tent, but also could spawn in Filing Cabinets, Zip Bags. Another common spot is on the front USB on any PC Case. One of the best maps for this task is Reserve. The white and black horses, including Reserve’s offices underground where the electricity switch is located, are full of Filing Cabinets. PCs can also be found. That’s all I can tell you.

Another way of acquiring FLASH DRIVES is by crafting them in your hideout. They can be crafted in the Intelligence Center level 2. Do not worry about the found in raid status, because every crafted item in Escape From Tarkov has it. Good luck!
