Mechanic
Escape From Tarkov “Airmail” Quest Guide
Fire a red signal flare high enough above the old sawmill on Woods to complete Mechanic's objective.

Airmail has one objective, but the flare must launch from the center of the old sawmill on Woods and reach sufficient height. Mechanic supplies a handheld red flare, with a signal pistol and red cartridge available as an alternative.
Requirements and objective
- Airmail is available only to buyers of the Edge of Darkness edition.
- Mechanic lists Quality Standard as the preceding quest.
- Launch a red signal flare at the old sawmill on Woods.
Equipment
| Option | Required items | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Handheld flare | 1 RSP-30 reactive signal cartridge (Red) | Mechanic sends one through in-game mail. |
| Signal pistol | 1 ZiD SP-81 26×75 signal pistol and 1 26x75mm flare cartridge (Red) | The red cartridge is available from Ref at loyalty level 3. |
The listed flare items are not marked as Found in Raid requirements.
How to complete Airmail
- Go to the old sawmill in the eastern part of Woods and move to its center.
- Fire either red flare upward. The flare must reach sufficient height for the objective to register.
With the handheld RSP-30, aim upward without angling it too steeply, or the flare can land behind you. A shot that fails to reach the required height will not complete the objective.
