In Escape from Tarkov you have to unlock the dealer Jaeger before you can use it. We’ll show you how it works.
In Escape from Tarkov the various traders play a major role. They give you quests for which you get experience points, money and rewards and sell you equipment such as weapons, ammunition and armor before you have access to the Flea Market.
One of these dealers is Jaeger, which sells various types of weapons and ammunition. We’ll show you how to activate the dealer here.

Activate Escape from Tarkov: Jaeger Quest – Introduction
To unlock Jaeger, you have to complete the “Introduction” quest in Escape from Tarkov. You will receive this from the dealer “Mechanic” when you have reached level 2.
Before you can accept the “Introduction” task, you must also accept the mission “Gunsmith Part 1”, which you also receive from the mechanic.
However, you no longer have to finish “Gunsmith Part 1” as was the case a while ago. It’s enough if you accept the mission.
Escape from Tarkov: Find Jaeger’s camp and complete the introduction task
To complete the quest “Introduction”, you have to find Jaeger’s camp on the “Woods” map. There is a note under a stand that you have to pick up.
You can reach the high point if you go to the crashed plane in the east of the map and walk south from its cockpit to a large rock. Right next to the rock is the high stand with the note on the ground.
The quest is considered completed when you hand the note to the mechanic in the mission menu.
After completing the mission, you have successfully unlocked Jaeger and can accept quests or buy equipment from him.
Why should you unlock Jaeger? You will receive various quests from Jaeger that can give you experience points, a few thousand rubles as well as equipment and weapons.
The Escape from Tarkov traders are particularly worthwhile if you are not level 15 yet, as you only unlock the Flea Market at level 15. There you can also buy weapons and ammunition early in the game.
The OP-SKS and the VPO-209 are particularly worthwhile at Jaeger to start with. You can purchase these for a few rubles.
