Follow the steps below to complete Operation Aquarius Part 1 so you can move on to the next one:

• To complete the mission, you need the Dorm Room 206 key. Since it's an early wipe quest, you may not have the flea market unlocked. However, the Therapist sells the key on Loyalty Level 1 in exchange for seven Piles of Meds.
• When you have the key in possession, dress your character up and go to Customs. A raid during the day is recommended since getting your hands on Night Vision goggles is quite difficult in early wipes.

• When you are in Customs, go to the second-story dorm since that’s where Dorm room 206 is located. After going up the main stairs, it will be the first room on your left.
• Open the room using the key and go inside to complete the first objective. Now, extract from Customs to complete it. If you have the money, it is recommended to go out through the Dorm Vehicle extract.

Note that players tend to camp the aforementioned extract in early wipes to score some gear sets.
