After acquiring the Shooting Cans in Escape from Tarkov quest, equip all the gear you need. When you’re done, begin a PMC raid on Ground Zero. After you load into the aforementioned map, navigate your way to the Tarbank/Empire building. It is located on the opposite side of Fusion.

When you arrive near the building, enter using the main entrance. Behind the reception desk, you will see a single door. Open it and immediately look to your left after you cross the door. Here, you will see a double door that leads to a staircase. Now, use the stairs to go to the topmost floor.

After reaching the top floor, enter the office area using the main door and go left. When you are at the end of the hall, look right. Here, you can see the mounted machine gun near the window. Moving toward the gun will complete the first objective.

After completing the first objective, head back to the ground floor. When you are at the double door, go left and turn right after you reach the broken wall. From there, step outside and start walking towards the south. At the end of the map, you can see the Capital Insight building where the grenade launcher is located.

Go inside the building and go up using the broken escalators on the right side. After going up, you can see a staircase leading to the third floor. Use it and go to the third floor. Open the door at the entrance if the floor and walk straight to the second office/computer room on the left-hand side.

Inside the room, you can see the grenade launcher. Just like with the machine gun, getting close to the launcher will grant you the second objective.

While searching for the machine gun and grenade launcher, eliminate any targets that you come across. We recommend killing Scavs as they have significantly less chance of eliminating you. Since you only need five kills, you will have to wait for them to spawn to complete the third objective.

If you cannot see any AI Scavs, you can attract them with loud noises such as unsuppressed gunshots and grenade explosions. Since the kill count will not reset after extracting, you can take your time and get all the kills.
