Here’s everything you need to know about the Night Sweep Quest in Tarkov.

Night Sweep Quest Guide

Players should note that they must be at least level 50 to take up this Skier task. When you accept it, Skier says his folks were looking for loot at night and ran into some hooded people and things went south. “Naturally, my dudes managed to retreat in the end and even smoked some of those psychos, though they still lost around a dozen. Eh, that's not the point. The guys found some kind of a dagger on one of those psychos, and apparently, some serious people are willing to pay a fortune for those. Anyway, I've got an order for those daggers. If you find any, bring'em here,” he adds.

The quest objectives are:

• Find 12 unusual knives with the found-in-raid status

• Hand over the knives to Skier

The knives are called Cultist knives and are carried by the Cultist priest and sometimes by his followers. They spawn between 22:00 -7:00 minutes in a raid and can be found in the following locations:

Night Factory: You can run into the Cultist priest and his two warriors anywhere in this location since it is small in size. 

Customs: You can find the Cultist priest with four warriors in the area between warehouse 17 and the repair shop.

Woods: You will find the Cultist priest with four warriors on Customs near their ritual places, located west of the sawmill and at the dilapidated village in the north.

Shoreline: 

• Cultist priest with three warriors: West of the river in the area between the power station and the gas station, and north-east of the swamp village.

• Cultist priest with four warriors: At the health resort.
