Mechanic — briefing

So, I progressed to the same stage you did. Honestly? It feels weird. It's like it's all done on purpose. Like there's a hidden layer, you know? My friend clearly went missing for a reason. And it seems like some pretty powerful people had a hand in it. I think he knew what was coming, so he set up these fool traps in his game. Looks like they tried to smuggle it out of Tarkov along with the military records. They were transferred to flash drives and encrypted. Find a few of those flash drives, and decrypt the data. It'll have the word you're looking for. And something important to me.

Objectives

• Hand over the item: Decrypted intelligence folder

Tactical notes

• The items go to the trader — some of them may need the found-in-raid tag.

On completion

Mechanic: This password... What a game you've remembered, Nikita. All right, everything went smoothly. You got your word, and I got what I needed.
