In this guide, you will learn how to complete the Scout quest while playing Escape from Tarkov.
Note: You will need to be at least level 12 in order to complete this quest.
How to Complete the Scout Quest in Escape from Tarkov
The Scout quest is given to you by Sergey Arsenyevich Samoylov aka “Mechanic”. He will tell you that he needs you to find which exits can still be used.
These exits mentioned are all of the 4 Extraction points on the Factory map that you will need to use.
- Find the first Factory extraction
- Find the second Factory extraction
- Find the third Factory extraction
- Find the fourth Factory extraction
- Survive and extract from the location
You can do this quest via multiple Raids and find them one by one. When you extract at one location, the attempt will count towards the quest.
Cellar Extraction Location
Just outside Forklifts, there is a staircase flanked by rusty guardrails. Find a hallway leading to the left and a red door near it. Take the stairs down and turn around to look in the dark corner of the stairwell.
The locked door there leads to the Cellar exit, and, while you’ll need the Factory Emergency Exit Key to actually open and use it, simply approaching the door — as well as the other two locked extraction doors — is enough to complete the Scout subtask.
Gate 3 Extraction Location
Gate 3 is directly west of Forklifts. The easiest way to get there is to go through the Glass Hall — the thin hallway leading west from Forklifts with the windows — all the way to its end. Exit the Hall and take a right, then proceed through the two small doors set in the large, red metal warehouse doors.
You’ll find Gate 3 behind the second door near the green flares.
Gate 0 Extraction Location
Gate 0 is both an extract and spawn point on Factory. It’s in the direct opposite corner of Forklifts. You’ll know it’s nearby by the sun giving the room a yellow tint, the green crates in the middle of the room, and the path into the second floor at the other end.
The Gate 0 door is directly behind the PMC spawn, and, like Cellar, all you need to do is approach the locked door to complete the subtask.
Med Tent Extraction Location
Med Tent is one of the easiest to spot, as a large TerraLabs medical tent sits right in front of it. As the southeasternmost extract on Factory, you can get there by traveling through the hallways leading left (south) from Forklift or directly east from Gate 0.
Be wary of boss spawns, as well as the PMC likely to spawn in the hallways between Gate 0 and Med Tents. This extraction point also requires a key, but approaching the door is more than enough for the subtask.
