Chumming in Escape from Tarkov: How to complete and rewards

One of the tasks you unlock after completing Setup is Chumming in Escape from Tarkov. Since Setup is quite an infuriating quest to complete, players tend to avoid it if they aren't pushing for the Kappa secure container. However, those who choose to do so are required to load into multiple maps, hide a couple of gold chains, and get some PMC kills during the night.

This guide takes a look at where you need to hide the gold chains and some tips to complete Chumming in Escape from Tarkov.


Chumming in Escape from Tarkov task guide

The quest objectives you must complete to finish Chumming in Escape from Tarkov:

  • Stash/hide three Gold Chains in the mattress near the BTR in the Generic store on Interchange.
  • Stash/hide three Gold Chains in the second wooden cabin in the sawmill on Woods.
  • Stash/hide three Gold Chains in the microwave on the third floor of the dorm on Customs.
  • Eliminate five PMCs in the time period of 22:00 to 10:00 on Interchange.

As mentioned in the Chumming in Escape from Tarkov task objective section, go to the Generic Store to stash the Gold Chains. Finding it is quite simple as it is right next to the Avokado store, which you need for completing another task, Big Sale. For more clarification, navigate your way to either Rassmussen or the hole in the ground. The Generic store is right beside them.

Once there, go inside and look for a small metal bed with a mattress. It'll be on your right if you go inside the store from the BTR entrance. Go close to the bed and the plant prompt will show up. Stash all three and you're done with his objective.

Moving over to the second objective of Chumming in Escape from Tarkov, load into Woods. After you spawn on the map, make your way toward the sawmill where Shturman usually spawns. When you're at the sawmill, you'll see a few wooden cabins, three to be exact on the right side. Now go inside the middle cabin as the quest objective says so and plant all three Gold Chains.

The steps to stash all three Gold Chains are identical to the previous one. However, you must open your character inventory once before stashing the next Gold Chain as the plant prompt won't show up and you won’t be able to hide them.

First, navigate your way to the Dorms area on Customs and head inside the three-storey-high dorm. Then, go to the third floor of the building and go toward the marked room.

On the way, you have to cross a kitchen where the microwave is located. Go close to it and plant all three Gold Chains. Since there is no time restriction, you can go there anytime. However, the nighttime is recommended as players tend to hunt for bosses since they can’t see much during the night.

Eliminating PMCs on Interchange to complete Chumming in Escape from Tarkov is quite easy, especially if you know their location before they figure out yours. Depending on the gun you use, try to engage in fights that help you out. If you're using SMGs, always seek CQB. With ARs, you can easily engage in mid- to long-range fights.

Additionally, use ammo with good penetration, or for SMGs, you can use bullets with high flesh damage and aim for their legs. Ammo such as the M855A1 and M62 have quite high armor penetration, granting you a significant advantage in fights.
