Setup is a quest in Escape From Tarkov. Skier gives the quest, and it requires you to eliminate PMCs on Customs while wearing a specific gear.

That fake intel worked out just as planned, man! Those morons wanted to ambush my couriers but got caught by surprise themselves, he-he. Although, now we’re having some serious trouble with those pricks. Though my guys are not complete nitwits, some help would still be appreciated. So here’s the plan: this gang has their own outfits, their key-fighters wear ushankas, Scav vests, and often use shotguns. What a bunch of clowns, aren’t they? So what you should do is dress up like one of them (Scav Vest, Ushanka ear flap hat, and MP-series shotguns) and smoke PMCs. I don’t care about factions, the important thing is to just get PMCs into this to fight those morons. You get what’s gonna happen, yeah?
Objectives
- Eliminate eight PMC operatives on Customs using an eligible Scav weapon and the required hat and rig.
Rewards (base amounts)
- +10,000 XP
- Skier reputation +0.25
- 1,000 Euros
- 3x Xenomorph sealing foam
Rewards Dialogue
My guys are saying that Customs is at World War 3 right now, BEARs and USECs are dropping Scavs left and right! Good shit, nice work. Here’s your prize, as promised.
Guide

The older recommendation to pair this with Silent Caliber on Customs no longer works: Silent Caliber now names different maps. The preserved map below shows Scav spawns as a Customs reference, not guaranteed PMC positions.
