Polikhim Hobo

 is a Quest in Escape from Tarkov.

Dialogue
"Polikhim hobo? The former security deputy chief? Yes, I knew him. All this mess caused him some massive damage - took to drinking, degraded to a hobo. And he wasn't a bad guy... Wait a sec, can't he say for himself? Got whacked or something? Well, doesn't matter, apparently, once you ask, then there are some problems. Well, I knew where he lived, but here's the deal - I need help scaring off the Scavs from the Customs. You'd better start the action during sunset, so you would be done by 9 p.m in order to clear the path for my couriers. If you help me, I'll tell you where this hobo lived."

Objectives

 * Kill 20 Scavs at Customs in time period from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m.

Rewards
"Thank you, warrior. Well, your hobo used to dwell on the railway, on the train car next to the boiler. My guys have seen him there often. See you later."
