Escape From Tarkov “Top Secret” Quest Guide
The radar station key, hard drive location and hand-in for Skier.

Top Secret asks you to recover a military hard drive from the radar station on Lighthouse. You need the Radar station commandant room key to reach it. Accept the task before searching, then extract with the drive and hand it to Skier.
Top Secret objectives
- Locate the radar station commandant’s office on Lighthouse.
- Find and collect the military HDD containing archived flight routes, named Working hard drive.
- Hand the drive over to Skier.
Required key and quest item
The Radar station commandant room key opens the office containing the HDD. The hard drive only appears while Top Secret is active and moves into your quest item inventory when collected. You lose it if you fail to extract with it, so reaching the desk is not the final step.
Where to find the hard drive
Go to the radar station in the lighthouse peninsula area. Inside, look for the commandant’s office on the first floor. A red sign identifies the room. Unlock it with the Radar station commandant room key and check the desk at the back for the Working hard drive.
After collecting the HDD, extract from the raid with it and complete the hand-in at Skier. If you lose the quest item before extracting, return to the office to recover another copy while the task is active.
