4.9Escape from Tarkov The Extortionist Overview
The Extortionist is an early quest in Escape from Tarkov that sends you into Customs to search for important information and recover a valuable package. The task involves locating the right area, finding the hidden objective, and safely extracting with what you need.
Completing The Extortionist gives you useful early-game rewards, including EXP, Skier reputation, weapons, armor, ammunition, and access to new gear purchases. It also helps you progress through Skier’s questline and unlock additional equipment.
This quest can be tricky because Customs is often busy with other PMCs and Scavs. Knowing where to look and planning your route before entering the raid can make the task much easier and reduce the risk of losing the quest item before extraction.
EFT The Extortionist Quest Description
Not a good time! Although… Hang on. There is an urgent matter. There was a firefight about an hour ago in the garages across the river. Just where my errand boy was headed. To hell with him, he was a total jerk anyway. But he had with him one particular key. A mighty complex key, I might add. To the door that can be freaking wherever see?
This clown was delivering me one very valuable thing. Hid it somewhere, bastard locked it with this arsetormenting key and came to me to talk up the price. What a biatch! I sort of raised the fee a bit, for the thought, but this wanker still hasn’t told me where and went to get it himself.
And I’m almost sure he’s got done in there. Find the key, and then find me the package even if you have to check all doors from the center to the port.

Guide
Everything for this quest is located on the Customs.
To complete this quest you need an Unknown key 
which you can obtain from a scav’s body in the bush near the “Welcome to Tarkov” truck (it spawns there every raid, but anyone can take it before you, also you can purchase it via flee market).
When you have the key you need to head out to the cabin near the warehouse 4 (between the gas stations, on a shipping yard).
You will find the required document (Secure case for documents 0048) under the jacket in the locked cabin.
After you pick up the case, you need to leave the location alive and hand it to the Skier. We suggest you go for the document when the raid is almost over, because most of the players will either die or extract by this time, which will increase your survival chances.
