You're standing near the helicopter on Shoreline. Your hands are sweaty. You know the Shoreline Health Resort is basically a meat grinder, and Peacekeeper just sent you right into the heart of it. Honestly, EFT Cargo X Part 2 isn't the hardest quest in the game, but it’s one of those "get in and get out" missions that goes sideways the second you get complacent.
Most players treat this as a footnote. They run in, grab the folder, and then die to a cultist or a Bush-Wookiee near the Path to Lighthouse extract. Don't be that guy. This quest is a vital link in the Peacekeeper chain, and if you want those sweet NATO weapon mods, you’ve gotta nail this one.
The Reality of EFT Cargo X Part 2
Let's look at the facts. You aren't hunting PMCs here. You aren't marking tanks. You are looking for a tiny folder in a room full of water barrels.

Specifically, you need to hit the East Wing of the Health Resort. Peacekeeper is cryptic about it, as usual. He mentions "blue barrels" and "reservoirs." Basically, he’s talking about Room 108. The good news? You don't need a key. The bad news? Everyone knows there's no key required, so it’s a high-traffic area for low-level players and Scavs alike.
Where is the Room?
If you are facing the front of the Resort (the side with the helicopter), the East Wing is on your right.
- Walk into the first floor.
- Head down the hallway.
- Look for Room 108.
Inside, you’ll see a bunch of large blue water reservoirs. It looks like a utility room because, well, it is. Walk to the back. On top of one of the upright blue barrels, you’ll see the "Secure Folder 0013."
It's small. It's easy to miss if the lighting is bad or if you're panicking because you hear footsteps in the gym above you. Grab it.
Survival is the Hard Part
Picking up the item is only 10% of the battle. In Escape from Tarkov, an item isn't yours until you've seen the extraction countdown hit zero. Since Cargo X Part 2 involves a "quest-specific" item, it goes into your special quest inventory.
Pro Tip: If you die, the item is gone. You have to go back to the Resort and get it again.
I’ve seen people grab the folder and then try to loot the entire Resort. Bad move. If you're on this quest, your priority is survival. The Resort is the highest-density PVP zone on Shoreline. You have Sanitar and his guards prowling the area, and they don't care about your quest progress. They will one-tap you with 9x19 RIP rounds before you even see them.
Extraction Strategy
Once you have the folder, you need to get out.

- Path to Lighthouse: This is usually the safest bet if it’s open. It’s a straight shot West from the Resort.
- Tunnel: If you’re feeling brave, but watch out for extract campers near the ruined road.
- Road to Customs: The long haul. Only take this if you spawned on the West side and have no other choice.
Why This Quest Actually Matters
Completing EFT Cargo X Part 2 isn't just about the XP, though 8,600 experience points is nothing to sneeze at when you're grinding toward Level 30.
The real reward is the unlock. Finishing this task moves you closer to unlocking the Knight's Armament NT-4 suppressor at Peacekeeper Loyalty Level 3. In the 2026 meta, staying quiet is the only way to survive the updated AI behavior. The UN and RUAF patrols added in recent patches are much more sensitive to sound than the old Scavs ever were.
Rewards Breakdown
- +8,600 EXP
- Peacekeeper Rep +0.07
- ~850 - 900 Dollars (depending on your charisma skill)
- Unlocks the ability to buy specific M4A1 parts
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Most players fail this quest because they treat Shoreline like a sprint. It’s a marathon.
Don't run straight to the East Wing at the 44-minute mark. That is when the "Chads" are rushing for the LEDX spawns in 222 and 301. Wait ten minutes. Sit in a bush. Let the initial bloodbath settle. By the time 30 minutes are left in the raid, the Resort is usually a graveyard. You can walk into Room 108, grab your folder, and leave without firing a shot.
Also, check your quest inventory. I can't tell you how many times I've finished a raid, forgot to "turn in" the item, and then went into another raid and lost it. Peacekeeper needs that folder immediately. Don't let it sit in your quest stash.
Moving Forward After Cargo X Part 2
Once you hand over Folder 0013, you're not done. This leads directly into Part 3, which takes you into the basements.
The lore here is actually kind of interesting if you bother to read the dialogue. You're basically uncovering a massive Terragroup conspiracy involving chemical shipments disguised as water and food supplies. It explains why the Resort was such a hotspot before the Tarkov collapse.
Your next steps:
- Hand the item to Peacekeeper immediately.
- Gear up for Cargo X Part 3 (you'll need to head to the basement swimming pool area).
- Buy that NT-4 suppressor if you have the Loyalty Level; your M4 will thank you.
Honestly, just get in there, stay low, and don't get greedy with the loot. The folder is the only thing that matters for this run.
