How to complete Informed Means Armed quest in Escape From Tarkov

Informed Means Armed is a quest obtainable from Skier during an Escape from Tarkov play. The quest involves placing three Wi-Fi Cameras at different scouting locations in Woods, Customs, and Interchange. The quest is dependent on attaining Level 24 to a minimum acquisition of three Wi-Fi Cameras for mission access.

It's in Mechanic LL1 that you can unlock buying a Wi-Fi camera in Escape From Tarkov. Informed Means Armed is one of the more finicky quests to finish, partly due to how the Wi-Fi Cameras are positioned in a very particular way, meaning you'll have to move around a bit in order to place them accurately.

Steps to Escape from Tarkov's Informed Means Armed

Skier is one of the several traders in the game, and for this side quest, he requests you to install Wi-Fi cameras in three different locations, so he can keep tabs on Informed Means Armed.

Here are the objectives of Informed Means Armed side quest:

The sawmill dock on Woods can be monitored by using a Wi-Fi camera.

Install a Wi-Fi camera to monitor Customs's route towards the port.

Setup a Wi-Fi security camera to monitor the entrance of the Kiba Arms store on Interchange.

Woods, with Sawmill Dock

The first installation of the Wi-Fi camera should be made at the Sawmill dock. On the pier, directly below Sawmill, is a stack of wood against a pine tree. When you approach it, a window will pop up to plant the Wi-Fi camera.

Sniper Roadblock Customs

Place the second Wi-Fi camera on the bush next to the blue containers. As you will proceed toward Customs near Sniper Roadblock, place the Wi-Fi camera in the first shrub on the right-hand side immediately after the stack of blue containers. You actually walk down the Sniper Roadblock, so be careful. The prompt won't appear unless you're facing the Scav Extract while planting the Wi-Fi Camera.

Interchange Marketplace Chaos

Finally, and before Kiba Arms, in Brutal Shop, you shall install the third Wi-Fi camera. At Interchange, head towards the center of the store, near the escalator. Straight ahead is Mantis, to your right is German. Standing in the middle and looking left will show Brutal; to enter Brutal, however, you need to turn the camera to face Kiba, opposite of Brutal. Once you enter Brutal, you should find a vending machine accompanied by a wooden palette. As you climb up the palette, there should be a prompt to plant the third Wi-Fi camera.

Save one's breath and wait for an opening to strike rather than charging in with all guns blazing-kill can spawn in and around the Brutal Shop, and Interchange is a popular rush spot for other players.

If you want to place Wi-Fi cameras in these three positions, you better be quick or bring a friend who can help you out with cover fire as you swoop in. These positions are going to be very busy, so you better be prepared.
