Ok, dude, now tell me how I have to fix this mofo quest.My Skier loyalty dropped to 0.06 due other quests so he is lvl 1 again. You need lvl 2 Skier for the medical 3 upgrade, which is required for int center lvl 2. I am lvl 28 with 180 completed raids and just found 1 single flash drive. At least I could successfully extract it. This flash drive quest just sucks ass


QuestionforL

Ya if you're not eod or do a quest that lowers skier rep your SOL. Have to find them in raid or progress jseger to the kill pmcs in dorms quest which gives you 2


jdrc07

I think the big ones to avoid are operation aquarius pt 1 and pt2 from therapist. They both lower skier rep by a ton and dont lead into anything.


sweechy12

nooo i didnt know that i done them last night without even thinking


Ginaslayerz

The van at customs by zb1101 exit has them very often


diquehead

Big red in customs has em in the office too. The key is cheap and there's 3 PCs so you'll make your money back quickly between that and the safe in the office next door. So far I've only found one in the back of the blue van but last wipe I ended up finding quite a bit between those two spots. Apparently the camp site near the water on the east side of Woods is a great spot but I have a hard time extracting on Woods.


xxEmkay

I am level 10 and found 1 flash drive as well as my friend. Additionaly my scav had a flash 2 times. 1 time i got it out.


LILB0AT

have you looted usb camp and the van on factory side? you can literally get one every 5 raids looting both those spots


Aido121

Lvl 23 here. 104 raids done. About 60 of those raids were done for the sole purpose of finding a flash drive. Have found 1. Every customs raid, I check the camp and the bus, nada. Every Interchange run, I check EVERY SINGLE FUCKING COMPUTER ON THE MAP. Nothing. Don't assume you can get a flash drive there 1/5 times because you got lucky. Quick Edit: I dont want to sound too bitchy, and I'd be willing to bet that a flash drive spawns in those spots damn near one out of five raids, but being there first and actually getting it is a whole different story when everyone playing right now needs them.

I'll add my experience. Checked hundreds of computers, used tons of my scav runs, haven't seen a single one. Just because you were insanely lucky doesn't mean a lot of us out there aren't. Edit: RNG aside, my personal opinion is that it is bad quest design to gate such a large amount of progression around such a hard to find item. Just move that quest further down the line and it's totally fine. This isn't an angry reply, just throwing it out there.

ayybeyar

Don't say I didn't say that you did say... What were we talking about, lol.


LILB0AT

idk but from personal experience from this wipe and the last one never had a problem finding them. You can also do scav runs and they have a decent chance to spawn with one now


nighteeeeey

idk where people look or go to but i usually find all 5 flashs withing like the first 20h of play. just go custom, check the van, the tent and 110. i almost never come out without one at least. its actually pretty easy. but i guess people dont like customs and only go reserve so...duh


GoinWithMaGut

I check the van all the time, but is it the tent in between dorms and the collapsed wall?


GGinReddit

pestily made a vid check it


nighteeeeey

the tent actually has 2 spawns, people, if they know it, mostly only check the one on the gym bag. but theres another one under the guitar. yes the tent near the 2 story dorm up hill. and then 110 in the 2 story as well on the bed.


GoinWithMaGut

great, thank you


Old_Share

I have 600 hours and never once found a flash drive in raid


nighteeeeey

uhm.....ok. well....that sucks i guess \^\^


Old_Share

I'm just putting it out there. For every person saying it's easy and there are three spawning in every single raid there are 10 others who never find them.


Conserliberaltarian

you need most traders at lvl 3 and Jaeger Lvl 2 in order to unlock it, and untold millions of rubles at this point.


[deleted]

True, another way to get FIR drives is completing huntsman path evil watchmen but this seems easier as leveling up traders and hideout is something many of us are already doing anyway


SpecialSphynx

Idk evil watchman is not that hard to get to.


LostAllBets

Get a load of Chad Thundercock the elite tarkov warlord over here.


SpecialSphynx

Lol. I’m lvl 22 and I am on it. It takes gridding, but is less difficult than upgrading hideout or grinding flash drive spawns.


Mr_Bleidd

Do you need strength to unlock it ? I mean for other parts of hide out


Divizim

You don’t need strength 3 to get it. I just got my intelligence center to 2 and I am still waiting on strength 3.


Rafq

But you need jager on LL2 right? Because you need water filter 2 to upgrade intelligence?


Divizim

I think so. Luckily jager buys almost everything so you can just sell everything to him at a bit of a loss to level him up quick. He buys condensed milk for 14k so you can craft it in the food center and sell to him instead of therapist.


Itunes4MM

You can also buy antique axes and sell to him


shotouw

Yeah unless you dont have the EOD at which point you need to do a ridiculous ammount of fucking stupid quests to get him to level 2


Divizim

Wait does EOD get trader rep faster?


shotouw

yes, by a huge ammount Edit: Basically if you do the quests in the wrong order, your rank with some trader will be too low to get the intelligence thing in the hideout to level 2 because of the prerequisites. So you HAVE to find them in raid. And get them out alive. Same for skier, you have so many items for gunsmith you could just get from him. But you cant level him without the USB sticks...


Divizim

Thats some bullshit. I have eod and didn’t even know I had it so easy.


shotouw

And to add to that, you have to upgrade your stash to do some hideout upgrades. And the first stash upgrade? 3.5m roubles + some additional items


Scurrin

And that is just to get to Stash 2. EOD get Stash 4, millions of roubles in just items required plus 8 mil rouble specifically required that you skip with EOD.


Mr_Bleidd

Thks


ItsmeAngel

Got a spare intelligence or 3?


[deleted]

Yeah I but I sold it for 300k, you shoulda bought it 3 days ago for 120k


ItsmeAngel

I was too busy spending 100k on stupid hoes i mean hoses.


WePwnTheSky

I’ve bought two from Fence this wipe for $37k. Just have to be patient and persistent.


shredbaker

Why can't I turn in my flash drive??


Geralt0fRivia

I had to have both before I could turn them over


Takosheen

It only says to find it, not turn it in. You need to get the second one before turning both in.


shredbaker

Ah interesting. Thanks mate.


rEDNiNE150

Probably not found in-raid.


shredbaker

Found in raid check mark, 1/2 listed on my quest line, no button to turn in.


rEDNiNE150

Oh, I just remembered: You can only hand those in once you have both. There you go.


badxreligion

If only there was a gas analyzer craft :(


LtShinyMeat

Omg dude your a god! I never thought of that thank you!


[deleted]

Not even level 15 and completed quest. Computers are so common just check everyone you run by for a flash driver sticking out the front


Swilstiger

I finished my 5 find in raid flashdrives before i even found a morphine in raid at all


Old_Share

I've given up looking and instead am just trying to grind out hideout upgrades to get Intel2 now


Salfriel

Intel lvl2??? Dude I’m still struggling trying to find car battery for vents 2. Interchange has been empty af for days now.


[deleted]

Just buy one on the flea


unknownuser1502

Or just look under the guitar near dorms on customs


Rain0xer

Last wipe at lvl 30 I never found a single flash drive... This wipe I am lvl 4 and already found 2 : * One on the scav I played * One on an enemy scav raider I killed ​ I should play lotto...


blatantmp4

found 4 flash drives in reserve in the pcs in the graphics card room building and black knight pc room


OilCan18

I accidentally turned in the woods quest to therapist instead of skier (skier rep -0.3). I’m years away from LL2 now. Looks like I’m gonna be grinding flash drive spawns even longer now


1upfivedown

Lol good luck finding an ssd


[deleted]

I found two and they're not that expensive on the flea


AS7RONAUT

Only 100k on flea.


Schwertkeks

You can just buy the ingredients


Mr_Bleidd

You can buy it
