Watching You in Escape from Tarkov: How to complete and rewards

Watching You in Escape from Tarkov is one of the easier missions in Streets of Tarkov. While it is not required to unlock the Kappa secure container, finishing the mission will net you a decent amount of Roubles and EXP. Since it's an early-mid wipe quest, the experience you gain from it will be helpful to you for raising the Trader loyalty levels.

Follow the steps below to find the surveillance spot on Streets of Tarkov along with the flash drive's location:

• Firstly, purchase the Pinewood Hotel Room 215 key from the flea market. You may also find it as a random spawn in drawers, jackets, and Scavs (primarily AI Scavs).
• When you have the key, get ready and start a Streets of Tarkov raid.
• After spawning, head to the Pinewood Hotel. It is located on the opposite side of the Beluga Restaurant. If you are not very familiar with the map, we recommend using a map from the “Tarkov Wiki.”
• After reaching the Pinewood Hotel hotel, go inside using the main entrance. Beside the reception desk, you will see a staircase leading to the second floor. Go up the stairs and look for the locked door with the number “215” beside it. The first task objective will be completed after you go inside the room.
• Now, you must find a flash drive to complete the second objective.

The flash drive has two spawns inside of the room. The spawn locations are as follows:

After going inside the room, look at the area to the left of the bed where you will see some recording equipment. Near the camera, you can see the flash Drive on the window frame beside the diary. Go close and grab it by hitting your interact button.

If the flash drive is not on the window frame, it can spawn on top of the cabinets beside the window. Under the TV, near the pile of books, you can see the white drive. Pick the flash drive up and head towards the nearest extract.

After extracting the device, hand it over to Mechanic to complete the third objective and finish the quest.
