Escape From Tarkov “Setting Priorities” Quest Guide
Two separate PMC kill objectives require opposite gear setups, and only a limited set of headsets currently counts.
Setting Priorities requires 20 PMC kills across two different gear setups. Although the first objective calls for an active headset, only a specific set of headsets currently works for quest progress.

The quest is given by Mechanic at loyalty level 4. Complete both objectives:
- Eliminate 10 PMC operatives while using an active headset and wearing no armor.
