One of the many tasks of the Falling Skies chapter requires you to find the Armored Case in Escape from Tarkov, and this can be a hard one to complete if you don’t know where to search.
Finding quest-specific items in Escape from Tarkov can be a difficult task. The confusing terrain, combined with Scavs and other human players, can make it pretty hard to focus on the quests. This guide will help you get the Armored Case as quickly as possible so that you can work towards completing the Falling Skies questline.
Armored Case location in Escape from Tarkov
To find the Armored Case, you’ll have to start a raid on the Woods map. If you’re yet to unlock the map, that will be your first objective. Once done, head over to the spot where the broken aeroplane is located. This is in the center of the map, and I have marked the location on the screenshot below.
The spot is extremely dangerous, as there are Scav enemies around. You can also come across enemy players (if you have the PvE zone DLC, use that to complete the quest). The broken plane is part of another quest to find a flight recorder.
While the flight recorder is located near the tail, the Armored Case is located at the front of the plane. You’ll find an open door that leads to the cockpit. The case is to the left of the door; you can interact with it to add it to your backpack.
You can take two decisions after picking up the Armored Case.
- You can keep the armored case with you, which is against the quest’s natural ending.
- You can hand it over to Prapor to complete the task.
I chose the latter because it felt less risky. If you’re recovering the case in the dark, it can be hard to locate. Just use the door’s entrance as your clue. The case will be between the door you enter through and the point where you enter the cockpit.
