Surprise

“Surprise” is a Ref task in Escape from Tarkov. Requires level 10. Reward: 3,600 XP. Objectives: Find in raid and hand over 3 ballistic plates of class 4 or higher. Walkthrough, map and requirements.

Ref — briefing

I came up with a great idea to make the Arena even better. And I need your help. I need to find some armor plates for a guy. He's a frequent performer, so it's time to give him an upgrade to get the crowd excited. That's the thing about shows, you don't add wood in time, the fire goes out. Well, now go get me some armor plates. The crowd's gonna squeal when they see him!

Objectives

• Find in raid and hand over 3 ballistic plates of class 4 or higher

Tactical notes

• WHERE TO GO: the task has no location of its own — the items accumulate over ordinary raids.
• Found-in-raid status is required — flea market copies will not be accepted.

On completion

Ref: Just what I needed! Not much more to go. Everyone will be thrilled when they see the results, I promise! Here's a helmet as a reward. His last owner has a better one now, ha!
