Escape from Tarkov Lost Contact Quest Guide: Completion Tips and Rewards

As you begin tackling quests in Lighthouse, “Lost Contact”in Escape from Tarkov is essential for unlocking additional missions. Completing this task not only progresses the storyline but also opens up further quests like “Drug Trafficking,”which you can find on the same map. However, it’s worth noting that the mission details do not pinpoint the precise location of the quest objective, leading players to potentially spend a considerable amount of time searching within the map’s heavily trafficked Chalet area.

This guide will outline where to go in order to finish “Lost Contact”in Escape from Tarkov, as well as what rewards await you upon its completion.

Before embarking on this mission, it’s essential to familiarize yourself with the Lighthouse map. You can easily access a detailed map from resources like the Tarkov wiki or Tarkov Help website. Knowing the map layout will make it significantly easier to complete this task, no matter where you spawn.

Upon spawning, head directly to the upper chalet, also known as the red chalet or upper cottage. It’s relatively easy to identify, especially since it has a small tennis court situated behind it, which is your destination for the “Lost Contact”task.

Once you arrive at the upper chalet, carefully approach the tennis court where you will find a few covered dead bodies on the ground. Come close to these bodies to complete the first part of your quest.

Following this, it’s advisable to either retreat back into the chalet or exit the area entirely, as other players may be camping the coastal mountains for targets related to their “Shooter Born in Heaven”task.

The quickest and most secure extraction from this location is at Mountain Pass; however, this requires the Red Rebel ice pick, paracord, and no armor gear. If you are equipped with armor and a rig, you will need to stash the armor in your backpack or abandon it.

An alternative extraction point is the Southern Road, which does not necessitate any special items and remains accessible from any spawn location on the map.
