Top Secret Task Guide – Escape from Tarkov

I could use a hard drive myself quite honestly.

Escape from Tarkov’s content and missions are quite outstanding, and although there are some quests that are more difficult than others, they definitely bring some fun and variety to a genre that needs a little more spark and shine. And although its current state is under a not so closed beta, it is well received by many and feared by some due to its difficulty. But sometimes, you just need a little bit of relax time. This is the case of the Top Secret quest that, although it does not bring a lot of action to the table, it is a freeze of fresh air for the game’s content due to its nature. Here is our Top Secret Task guide. Be sure to continue reading to know how to complete this quest.

In order to begin the quest, you are going to have to receive it from Skier, one of the traders in Escape from Tarkov. This is a PickUp type of mission, which means that in order to successfully finish the mission, you will have to locate and extract from the location (in this case, Lighthouse) with a certain item. In this case, you will have to bring an HDD that is located in the Radar Station (shown above). Follow this Top Secret Task guide in order to complete the quest:

  • Before going guns blazing to the Radar Station, you will need a key, more specifically the Radar Station commandant room key. Well, that’s a nice name. You will find it in Jackets or on pockets and bags of Scavs.
  • Once you find the key, you will be able to unlock the commandant’s office in the Radar Station. So go ahead and travel to the location in the map.
  • Once you enter the Radar Station, you will be able to find the commandant’s room in the first floor, marked with a red sign.
  • The HDD will be located on a desk on the back of the room.
  • Extract from the map and hand over the HDD to Skier.

Top Secret Rewards

Once finished, and although the HDD is encrypted, you will be rewarded with the following:

  • 11,700 EXP
  • Skier Rep +0.03
  • 50,000 Roubles minimum
  • 1 Rifle Dynamics RD-704 7.62×39 assault rifle
  • 2 AK 7.62×39 30-round magazine (issued ’55 or later)
  • 90 7.62x39mm PS gzh
