Escape From Tarkov “Decisions, Decisions” Quest Guide

Find the compromising information in Customs' three-story dorms, then extract with it before handing it over to Ref.

Decisions, Decisions sends you into Customs’ three-story dorms to recover compromising information for Ref. You need the Dorm overseer key to reach it, and the quest item is lost if you fail to extract with it. Completing Fence’s Between Two Fires or Lightkeeper’s Surprise Gift also fails this quest and removes access to it.

Requirements and objectives

You must accept Fence’s Between Two Fires to obtain Decisions, Decisions. Accepting that quest is different from completing it: finishing it will fail Ref’s quest.

  • Return to the old champion’s hideout on Customs.
  • Locate and obtain the compromising information on Ref.
  • Hand over the information to Ref.

Required equipment

  • 1 Dorm overseer key: Required to unlock the room between rooms 209 and 211 in the three-story dorms. The key does not need to be found in raid.
  • 1 compromising information quest item: It can be found only while the quest is active, and it must be found in raid. Picking it up transfers it to your quest item inventory. If you fail to extract with it, you lose it.

How to complete Decisions, Decisions

Second-floor plan of Customs three-story dorms highlighting the Overseer room below room 209 and above 211 in amber, and room 203 in blue.

  1. Accept the prerequisite, but do not complete the competing quest. Accept Fence’s Between Two Fires to obtain this quest. Completing it, or completing Lightkeeper’s Surprise Gift, fails Decisions, Decisions and removes access.
  2. Go to the three-story dorms on Customs. The target is on the second floor, in the room between rooms 209 and 211. Use the Dorm overseer key to unlock the door.
  3. Pick up Ref’s compromising information. Look on the floor in a puddle of blood next to the wardrobe. The quest item is available only while Decisions, Decisions is active.
  4. Extract with the item, then hand it over to Ref. Failing to extract with it means losing the item, so you will need to obtain it again before you can hand it in.
