Mechanic — briefing

Hello, merc. I've been thinking about that torture room you found. I can't believe it was the only thing that kept that thing going. The stick isn't enough, we need a carrot. I'm sure the employees had a way to cheer themselves up and relieve stress. See what else you can find out, maybe you'll find some more info.

Objectives

• Unravel the secret of the IT firm's employees' high morale on Streets of Tarkov
• Survive and extract from the location

Tactical notes

• WHERE TO LOOK: the locked room of The Hive hookah bar on Streets of Tarkov.
• THE KEY IS IN THE SAME OFFICE as the door from part one — no long trip needed.
• The key has many spawns: almost any desk, shelf or coat rack. Two noted spots are on a desk under a pizza box, and on the washing machine.

On completion

Mechanic: I knew there was more to it than torture. So it's the hookah lounge as well. That's a nice carrot indeed. Here's your reward.
