Audiophile Quest in Escape From Tarkov Explained

Audiophile is a pickup type quest in Escape from Tarkov which is given by trader Arshavir Sarkisovich Abramyan, known by his alias "Ragman.” The Audiophile quest happens on the newest location – Streets of Tarkov – that was added to the game in December 2022. Notably, this quest is a continuation of the Minibus and Ballet Lover quests. Players should note that this task requires them to be a minimum level of 25 to start it. Additionally, you will need to carry the Primorsky 46-48 skybridge key to complete this task.

Here’s all you need to know about the Audiophile quest in Escape from Tarkov.

Audiophile Quest Guide

Firstly, for this quest, you need the Primorsky 46-48 Skybridge Key. On 13th January, Battlestate Games released a patch no longer allowing single-use keys to be bought or sold on the flea market. But the good news is that the Primorsky 46-48 Skybridge Key can be found in the pockets and bags of Scavs and in jackets. 

Also, currently, the Skybridge Key has six possible spawn locations on the Streets of Tarkov in the same location. Players will need to navigate to the Brodion Pub outside of the PMC Scav checkpoint extract. Once you enter the pub, you will notice the key in the following places:

• On the couch near a duffel bag

• On the bar’s counter

• On one of the legs of a knocked-over stool near the bar counter

• On a chair holding paintings

• On a chair near an unused table

• In a pile of boxes before the bar kitchen

The objectives of the Audiophile quest are as follows:

• Locate the musician gathering spot on the Streets of Tarkov

• Obtain the engraved guitar pick

• Hand over the guitar pick

To use the key for the quest, your PMC will start just outside the Post Office on the Streets of Tarkov. When you are facing the post office as you spawn opposite the Pinewood hotel, cross the post box in front of you and walk straight. You will see an entrance to your right and once you are in, take an immediate left. You will see another door with a green neon sign here. Enter through that door and you will notice a staircase. 

Now, you will have to climb all the way to the very top and you will be met with a door you can simply open, leading you to the Skybridge. When you walk a bit forward, you will notice the door to Apartment 10 which you need to unlock with the key. When you enter the apartment, take the first door on your left and you will notice a drum set. When you walk closer, you will complete the first part of the quest, which was to locate the gathering spot.

There are ten possible spawn locations for the engraved guitar pick in the same room and in the adjacent bedroom:

• On top of the speaker in the drum kit.

• Inside the coffee mug on the floor

• Near the lamp on the desk opposite the drum kit

• In front of a box on the bookshelf with plants in the room

• Near the radio on the wall

• On top of the pile of books in the room

• Near the cardboard box next to the blue chair in the bedroom

• Near the iron box in one of the bedroom shelves

• Underneath the side table near the bed

• On top of the desk next to the window in the bedroom

When you pick up the engraved pick, it is transferred to your quest item inventory and you have to survive the extract to exit the raid to reap Ragman’s rewards. If you fail to extract with this item, you will lose it.
