The Collector quest in Escape from Tarkov requires you to hand over exactly 44 Found-in-Raid items to Fence, and completing it is the only way to unlock the Kappa secure container — the game's largest 3×4 container. On the current Season 1 wipe (KORD BREACH, live build 1.1.5.1), the list is entirely the reworked streamer-item set, not the old pocket-watch-and-figurine valuables, so half-remembered lists from previous years will get you nowhere. This guide is the full, wiki-verified 44-item checklist, the trader and karma gates you have to clear first, and the fastest way to close it out before Season 1 resets.

Key Takeaways
- 44 items, all Found in Raid. Flea-market or trader-bought copies do not count — every item must be found in raid, survived with, and handed over.
- Kappa is the only reward. Collector gives one thing: 1× Secure container Kappa (3×4, 12 slots). There is no rouble or XP payout.
- You unlock Collector late. You need Loyalty Level 4 with seven traders, Scav karma of at least +3, and four specific prerequisite quests done first.
- It's a streamer-item hunt now. Post-rework, the list is items like LVNDMARK's rat poison, Pestily plague mask and Shroud half-mask — niche, low-spawn loot scattered across every map.
- Season 1 resets your progress. Seasonal characters wipe every 4–6 months, so a mid-wipe Collector push is a race against the clock.
What is the Collector quest and why does it matter?
Collector is the final quest given by Fence, and its single reward is the Secure container Kappa. Kappa is a 3×4 (12-slot) secure container — the biggest in the game — and anything inside a secure container is kept even if you die in raid. That makes finishing Collector the definitive PvP end-game flex and a genuine quality-of-life upgrade: more guaranteed slots for keys, meds, and looted valuables on every raid for the rest of the wipe.
Per the official Escape from Tarkov Wiki, the completion text from Fence reads:
"Have you got it all? Good, mercenary. Your hard-earned reward awaits you in the specified drop-spot, just as promised. Congratulations, and welcome."
The catch is scale. You are not turning in one rare item — you are turning in 44 different Found-in-Raid items, most of which are single-spawn joke/streamer items with low, map-specific spawn rates. This is a multi-week project even for experienced players, which is exactly why so many people either grind it obsessively or skip it entirely.
How do you unlock the Collector quest in Tarkov?
Fence only offers Collector once you've cleared every gate below. On the current 1.1.5.x Season 1 build, the requirements are:
- Loyalty Level 4 with Prapor, Therapist, Skier, Peacekeeper, Mechanic, Ragman, and Jaeger (seven traders).
- Scav karma of at least +3 — Fence's standing is driven by Scav karma, not quest turn-ins, so play cooperative Scav raids and avoid killing friendly Scavs.
- Complete these four prerequisite quests: Chemical – Part 3, Sew it Good – Part 2, Shooter Born in Heaven, and The Tarkov Shooter – Part 4.
Reaching LL4 with seven traders effectively means working through the large majority of the quest tree first, so in practice Collector unlocks deep into a wipe. It is a marathon gate, not a sprint.
Tarkov Collector quest: all 44 Found-in-Raid items checklist
Below is the complete, current turn-in list verified against the official wiki for the Season 1 (1.1.5.x) build. Every item must be Found in Raid — you cannot buy them off the Flea Market or from traders and count them. Amount for each is 1.
| # | Item | # | Item |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 42 Signature Blend English Tea | 23 | Golden egg |
| 2 | Antique axe | 24 | Inseq gas pipe wrench |
| 3 | Axel parrot figurine | 25 | JohnB Liquid DNB glasses |
| 4 | BEAR Buddy plush toy | 26 | LM KC-130 model aircraft |
| 5 | Baddie's red beard | 27 | Loot Lord plushie |
| 6 | BakeEzy cook book | 28 | LVNDMARK's rat poison |
| 7 | Battered antique book | 29 | Mazoni golden dumbbell |
| 8 | Bottle of YMXC water | 30 | Missam forklift key |

| 21 | Glorious E mask | 43 | Viibiin sneaker |
| 22 | Golden 1GPhone smartphone | 44 | WZ Wallet |
That's the full 44. Note the theme: after the Collector rework, BSG replaced the old generic valuables (pocket watches, cat figurines, physical Bitcoin halves) with a set of community/streamer tribute items — LVNDMARK's rat poison, Pestily plague mask, Shroud half-mask, SheefGG piggy bank, Loot Lord plushie and friends. If you're following a guide that still lists the Roler Submariner watch or the Golden rooster figurine, it's out of date.

Where do the Collector items spawn?
There is no single map that carries the list — the 44 items are scattered across every location, and most are single-spawn, low-rate loot in specific containers. A few practical rules that hold on the current wipe:
- Jackets, drawers, and PC blocks are your bread and butter. The small streamer items (glasses, beard oil, keychains, plushies) live in loose-loot spots — jackets, safes, filing cabinets, and computer tables — far more than in ground loot.
- Streets of Tarkov and Interchange have the densest concentration of jackets and office/computer loot, making them the most efficient farm maps for the bulk of the small items.
- Reserve and Labs are where the higher-tier valuables and tech items (armor, model aircraft, wallets) show up more often.
- Check the item's individual wiki page for exact spawn tables before you dedicate raids to it — spawn locations shift between patches, and the tarkov.dev item database keeps live spawn data.
Because every item is FiR-gated, you have to extract alive with it. Dying, or extracting via a Run Through, does not grant the Found-in-Raid flag. Bring the item into your secure container the instant you find it so a bad fight doesn't reset weeks of progress.
What's the fastest way to finish Collector?
Three levers make the biggest difference:
- Farm loose loot, not bosses. The list rewards volume of jacket/drawer runs over kills. Run a light, mobile kit on Streets or Interchange and hit every jacket and PC on a fixed route.
- Bank items immediately. The single biggest time-waster is losing a rare item to a death after you've found it. Slot it into a secure container mid-raid, every time.
- Track what's left. With 44 items, keep a live checklist (in-game quest tracker plus a third-party tracker) so you're only hunting what you still need, not re-scanning the whole list.
The honest reality: even with a perfect route, this is a weeks-long grind of RNG loose loot, layered on top of already needing LL4 with seven traders. On a seasonal character that resets in 4–6 months, that's a huge chunk of your wipe spent hunting joke items instead of playing the parts of Tarkov you enjoy. If you'd rather skip straight to owning Kappa — or clear the LL4 trader and quest gates that unlock Collector in the first place — a professional carry gets you there without the RNG.

FAQ
How many items does the Collector quest need in 2026? On the current Season 1 (1.1.5.x) wipe, Collector requires 44 Found-in-Raid items, each in quantity 1. All 44 must be found in raid — Flea Market or trader-bought copies do not count.
What does the Collector quest reward? A single reward: 1× Secure container Kappa, a 3×4 (12-slot) secure container. There is no rouble or experience payout — Kappa itself is the prize.
What are the requirements to unlock Collector? Loyalty Level 4 with Prapor, Therapist, Skier, Peacekeeper, Mechanic, Ragman, and Jaeger; Scav karma of at least +3; and completion of Chemical – Part 3, Sew it Good – Part 2, Shooter Born in Heaven, and The Tarkov Shooter – Part 4.
Can I buy the Collector items from the Flea Market? No. Every Collector item must carry the Found-in-Raid status, so you have to find each one in a raid and extract alive with it. Bought items will not satisfy the turn-in.
Does Collector reset each season? Yes. Season 1 uses the seasonal-character model, and seasonal profiles reset roughly every 4–6 months, so any Collector progress on a seasonal character is wiped at the next reset.
Which maps are best for farming Collector items? Streets of Tarkov and Interchange for the dense jacket, drawer, and computer loot that most small items spawn in; Reserve and Labs for the higher-tier tech and armor items. Always check each item's spawn table, since locations change between patches.
