Jaeger — briefing

You came at the right time. I just finished a patrol, and I'll tell you this — something strange is starting. Too many people have been moving through the forests lately, and they're better equipped than usual. I haven't burned through this many rounds on a single run in a long time. Don't even think about leaving your hideout without a solid stock of ammo. I can feel they're preparing for something. I can't sleep at night. Last time it felt like this was right before that blue blast in the city center. Feels like something's about to happen — something that'll change Tarkov forever. Uneasy times are upon us. An extra pair of hands won't go amiss. Help me thin out this infestation in our city, and I won't forget the favor.

Objectives

• Eliminate any 100 targets

Tactical notes

• 100 targets to rack up — that is several raids, not one evening.

On completion

Jaeger: It's done? And still they keep swarming in… I've taken plenty of gear off their scavenger corpses, the best of it I keep close. I don't need it, but I'm sure you'll make good use of it in your righteous fight. Take it. And stay sharp. Something big is coming, my gut's never been wrong.
