Escape from Tarkov got a new quest which is very hot and interesting at the moment. People are making the area around it filled with people. In this Mechanic Task Guide, you can learn the best tips and tricks on how to finish it without getting killed.

Mechanic Task Guide (12.12.3) Broadcast – Escape from Tarkov

This quest is going to be given pretty early in your Escape from Tarkov Questline. The only prerequisite for the Mechanic Task is to complete the farming part 2, and that right after this quest will appear from the Mechanic.

The quest task and the thing that you’ll need to do is simply go to the lighthouse map. While you’re there, find the hidden recording studio and place a signal jammer inside it. Yes, it does sound pretty easy, but the hard part is that you need the operating room key to actually get inside the broadcast room and building.

This key can only be found in jackets, bags, and sort of containers like that. It doesn’t have a fixed spawn location making it very hard to get. It is a new key too, so this makes it even rarer (because of all the players searching for it, even in the market). Don’t go spending tons of money on getting this key because you’ll be using it only once, and just for this quest.

Road To The Broadcast Room

Once inside the lighthouse map, you will want to go to the water treatment area. Make sure that the coast is clear because people are doing this quest just like you are doing it, making it a pretty hot area.

Once there you will want to be staying on the left-hand side buildings. You might want to take a couple of grenades, or a grenade launcher to actually clear out the rooms that might be filled up with sneaky campers. Once it is clear you can enter them.

Always double-check roofs in this entire area. Like we said before, the biggest enemies in Tarkov are those pesky campers and the roofs are their meeting points. Also, clear the mounted weapons because they might end you in under a second.

Once you enter the first building shown in this picture, just stay on the right side of the building. Keep walking slowly and get all the way to the other end of it. While walking on this right side, you’ll see a catwalk on top of you. Under this catwalk is where the door for the key will be.

This is where the door will be. You can unlock it by previously getting the key and then just placing the jammer anywhere. It can absolutely be anywhere in this room. You can even place it next to the dead body.

You can just do this and the quest will be complete. You won’t need to extract something or anything like that.  Once finished with this quest you will need to go back to the Mechanic and turn in the quest. Rewards are:

  • 6700 XP
  • 650 Euros
  • 1 Can of Thermite
  • 1 Pack of Nails

Congratulations on completing the hottest quest right now! Big credit and a huge thank you goes to samosh from YouTube. You can check out his videos and channel here.

This bearded looking fellow on our left is David and he is a 26 year old passionate gamer. He has been an active member of the gaming community from a very young age, specifically from 2003 when he first played Warcraft 3 and discovered tachycardia from how enjoyable and relaxing it was. Gaming for him has been, and still is a way of life style. He loves delving deep into whatever it is he is playing, losing himself into countless of hours discovering everything there is that created that video game. He learns about the backstories, about the development, the creators, fan theories and boy oh boy he's open for discussions about what makes a game great and what doesn't. He can play everything from small Indie games , to big triple A titles. His theory about games is this : small details make big games. So that is why whatever it is that he is playing, he is the guy who discovers 99% of the maps with every little side quest or trophy to be found. That is why his favourite genre is RPG. Having the big explorable created world at your fingertips, where everything from a scary bloodsucking demon to a friendly talking goat can be found and interacted with, as well as immersing yourself into the roleplay game you are playing, is fascinating for him. He is a laid back type of gamer, after a rich history of getting his ass kicked in competitive games. He is very passionate about writing blogs and articles about games, as it is soothing and meditating for him.
