Guide
Location
Everything needed for this quest is located on the Customs map.
Getting the Unknown Key
The key can be found on a scav's body in the bushes near the "Welcome to Tarkov" truck (near the Crossroads area).
The key spawns in every raid but can be taken by other players. If it’s not there, you can purchase it from the flea market.
Finding the Cargo
Use the key to unlock the cabin near Warehouse 4.
The cabin is located between the gas station and the port area.
Retrieving the Package
Inside the locked cabin, under a jacket, you’ll find the Secure Case for Documents 0048. Pick it up.
Extracting
After securing the case, safely extract from the map.
It’s advisable to retrieve the case towards the end of the raid when most players have either died or extracted, increasing your chances of survival.
Tips for Success
Customs is a highly contested map with frequent firefights. Be prepared for combat.
Stick to quieter routes and avoid central areas to minimize encounters with other players.
Consider teaming up with a friend to improve your chances of success.
