The Bunker Part 1 in Escape from Tarkov: How to complete and rewards

The Bunker Part 1 is a mission that introduces the map, Reserve to the players in Escape from Tarkov. Upon completing the Customs quest, BP Depot, Prapor will immediately hand this task to the players. To complete it, players must go to Reserve and locate the underground bunker, as the name suggests. It is recommended to finish this quest as fast as possible to unlock more missions from Prapor and progress into the wipe.

That said, this article will detail how to complete The Bunker Part 1 in Escape from Tarkov.

1) Underground bunker location and how to get there

Since this is a find/discover type of quest, you won’t need any keys to complete The Bunker Part 1. Simply, start a Reserve match and wait until you spawn. Once you spawn on the map, walk towards the Barracks building marked with the “Black Pawn” logo. It is located on the eastern corner of the map. We recommend that you have a Reserve map open so navigating through it will be easier.

After reaching the eastern part of the map, you can see the building near a helicopter. Go inside the Barrack using the southern entrance and you will be able to see a staircase on your left side. Use it to go down to the basement and look right immediately. Once you take a 180-degree turn, you can see a door beside the stairs leading a path to the underground bunker.

After crossing the door, go straight and down the slope. Then, take a right turn to enter the underground bunker. Taking a step into the bunker will automatically complete the first objective.

2) Bunker control room location

Once you have completed the first objective, go to the hallway that leads to the power level. From the location where you entered the bunker, you can see the hallway just by looking to the right side.

Now, at the end of the hallway, take a left turn and cross the doorway. Besides the power switch, in the middle of the hallway, you can see a door that connects to the control room. Open the door and walk inside to complete the second objective.

Now all you have to do is extract from the map alive. Use an interactive map from the Tarkov Wiki to find the nearest extraction point (if you are new to the game). Once you are out of the raid, complete the mission by going to Prapor’s Tasks tab.
