The BTR Driver is an in-raid trader in Escape from Tarkov.
Notes
- With a very low Scav karma level (-5), the driver disallows entry and no longer offers his services.
- You can't hand in quests if you don't have enough inventory space for the rewards.
- Sometimes services can't be used when the money is in your chest rig, backpack or secure container.
Location
The BTR can be found in most but not all raids on Streets of Tarkov and Woods, traveling between different points. It's neutral to all players, unless a player starts attacking it first, or someone has purchased the "covering fire" service recently. Traitor Scavs are considered hostiles.
It stays for 2 minutes at each stop while on patrol, and honks twice 10 seconds before departure.
Quests
Note: To get access to the BTR Driver quests you need to accept the quest A Helping Hand from Mechanic.
Services
The driver offers various services to his up to 4 passengers. Service costs depend on faction, Scav karma, Charisma skill level and travel distance.

Covering fire
Players can order covering fire carried out by the BTR's coaxial machine gun, which provides the safest possible drop-off at a stop. Only available after purchasing the taxi service.
If someone purchases this service, the BTR becomes hostile. When the service ends, the BTR becomes neutral to all players again.
Item extraction
PMCs can send items with the found in raid status to their stash when placing them in the BTR trunk. Items will arrive after 1 hour via the mail system.
The size of the BTR trunk is influenced by your Scav karma.
