Tips

  • •The bronze pocket watch is inside the locked driver-side cabin of the fuel tanker truck on Customs. You need the Machinery key to open the door
  • •The Machinery key spawns in room 205 on the second floor of the three-story dorms building, and it is cheap on the flea market if you do not want to farm it
  • •The watch only spawns while the quest is active, and it is a quest item: if you die before extracting, you lose it and must grab it again
  • •You also hand over the Machinery key itself to finish, so do not sell the key after opening the truck
  • •Required for Kappa and one of the first Prapor quests every wipe. Do it together with other Customs quests to save raids
