Any long-time veteran of Escape From Tarkov will tell you that it’s a game less focused on PvP and more on the loot. When you engage in PvP, it’s because you want their loot. When you scour the map for hidden rooms and keys, it’s because you want loot. Well, there’s one loot location throwing people for a loop. Here is where to get Grumpy’s Key in Escape From Tarkov!
How to Get Grumpy’s Hideout Key
To acquire Grumpy’s Hideout Key, you must first unlock Ref, raise his trader level to two, and then barter with him. To reach level two, you must raise his level to 0.25 and reach level 15 yourself.
Once you’ve met these requirements, interact with Ref and trade him x1 Lega Medal for Grumpy’s Hideout Key, which has five uses. Use them wisely!
Where to Find Grumpy’s Hideout
Once you obtain the key, head to Interchange. Once there, you can find Grumpy’s hideout inside the power station to the northeast of the map, near the Power Plant Extract.
Head inside the Power Plant on the main floor to the back corner of the room. There, you’ll spot a white door leading into a small square shack-like structure against the wall. You may unlock this door using the key.
