Key Takeaways:

1. The Provide Viewership task introduces players to the new industrial plant in Customs, requiring both item placement and combat challenges.
2. Wi-Fi Cameras must be placed strategically across four specific locations within the industrial plant.
3. After installing the cameras, the task requires eliminating 15 enemies (Scavs, PMCs, or bosses) within the industrial plant’s kill zone.

Escape From Tarkov’s 0.16 patch has added new content, including a massive rework to the Customs map. One of the most notable additions is the industrial plant near Stronghold and Old Gas Station. Battlestate Games is notorious for encouraging players to explore new areas by integrating them into quests, and this time is no exception. Enter the Provide Viewership task, introduced by the trader “Ref.”

This guide will take you through every step you need to complete the task efficiently, from finding the Wi-Fi Camera placement locations to finishing the elimination objectives. Let’s dive in!

Unlocking the Provide Viewership Task

Before jumping into the task, you need to unlock Ref as a trader. This becomes available after completing the Easy Money – Part 1 quest, where you place comics in the Scav Room on Customs. Once you unlock Ref, the Provide Viewership task will appear in your quest log.

Ref will provide you with four Wi-Fi Cameras, which can be claimed via the “Messenger” tab. These cameras are essential to complete the task, so make sure to collect them before entering a raid. To avoid losing progress in case of death, store the cameras in your secure container or special equipment slots.

If you happen to lose a camera, don’t worry there’s a backup plan. You can barter for one Wi-Fi Camera from Mechanic Level 1 using one Electronic Component and one Power Bank. Alternatively, after accepting the In For Means Arm task from Skier, you can purchase cameras directly from Mechanic for 246 Euros.

Wi-Fi Camera Installation Locations in the Industrial Plant

The industrial plant, now accessible after the recent Customs update, is located between Stronghold, Old Gas Station, and the Big Skeleton construction site. To complete the Provide Viewership task, you must place Wi-Fi Cameras in four specific spots within this area.

Wi-Fi Camera Location #1: Blue Tanks (Ground Floor)

• Enter the industrial plant through the main blue gate near Stronghold.
• Inside, you’ll notice a large truck in the center of the room.
• Locate two large blue tanks to the left of the truck and place the first Wi-Fi Camera there.
• Note: The placement action takes 15 seconds, so ensure the area is clear of enemies before starting.

Wi-Fi Camera Location #2: Orange Crates (Ground Floor)

• From the truck area, head to the far-right corner of the room, near the shattered windows.
• Look for some orange crates stacked near the wall.
• Move close to the crates until the “Place” prompt appears and plant the second camera.
• Pro Tip: The placement prompt can be finicky move around slightly if it doesn’t appear immediately.

Wi-Fi Camera Location #3: Metal Pipes (Second Floor)

• Head back to the entrance area and locate the dirt ramp leading to the second floor.
• Follow the hallway past some blue barrels until you enter a larger room.
• In this room, find a metal structure with pipes and railings.
• Place the third Wi-Fi Camera near the pipes.

Wi-Fi Camera Location #4: Top Floor (Barrels)

• Return to the hallway and ascend the staircase to the top floor.
• Once on the top floor, turn left and follow the wall to a section with covered blue barrels.
• Plant the final Wi-Fi Camera by the railings next to these barrels.

Eliminate 15 Targets in the Industrial Plant

Once all four Wi-Fi Cameras are installed, a new objective will appear: eliminate 15 targets within the industrial plant. Targets can include:

• Player Scavs
• AI Scavs
• PMCs (other players)
• Bosses (like Rachala or his guards, if they spawn in this area)

Tips for Completing the Elimination Objective:

1. Scavs Are Your Best Bet: Scavs regularly patrol the industrial plant, making them easy targets for this part of the quest.
2. Gear Up Wisely: Use weapons and armor you’re comfortable with. The confined space of the plant often results in close-quarters combat.
3. Stay in the Kill Zone: The kill zone includes all levels of the industrial plant and a 5-10 meter radius around the building. Make sure your kills happen within this area for them to count.
4. Exfil Options: After completing the task or if the raid gets too risky, use the ZB-1012 extraction point nearby for a quick getaway.

Do Deaths Reset Progress?

No. If you die after successfully installing one or more cameras, you don’t have to re-install them. However, any unplaced cameras will need to be installed in subsequent raids. Similarly, kills inside the industrial plant accumulate across raids, so you don’t need to get all 15 in one attempt.

The Provide Viewership quest is a well-designed introduction to Customs’ reworked industrial plant. By requiring players to explore the new area and engage in combat, Battlestate Games ensures the location is a focal point early in the wipe. With this guide, you should be able to complete the task efficiently and avoid unnecessary deaths.
