Getting Acquainted is a Quest in Escape from Tarkov.

Dialogue[]

Come on in! Would you like some honey tea? Don't even ask how much honey cost me. In wartime the prices are like that, you know... Also, I want to reflash the transponder, but I need special software. According to my contacts, such software can be obtained from the ex-USECs at the water treatment plant. I know it's not easy, but it's worth it. When do I reflash the transponder? Buddy, you will reflash it. I don't have enough equipment here, but your Intelligence Center should have everything you need if you set it up right. I'll write down exactly what needs to be done. One more thing: the trader sends you the rules of your visit, so to speak. First: you can get to the lighthouse only while carrying the transponder, otherwise how will they distinguish you from the other PMCs? Second: do not run straight in there, make sure that the transponder worked. You will hear a beep, it means that the transponder is authorized, and you can move on. Well, good luck! I'm sure it will work out for sure this time.

There are multiple spawns for the V3 flash drive at the water treatment plant on Lighthouse. After obtaining it, you have to reflash the transmitter at the Intelligence Center level 2 in the Hideout. Electricity is required during the entire process, otherwise it will be interrupted. After the reflashing is done, the transmitter is fully functional and can be used to bypass the Claymores and Zryachiy guarding the bridge to the lighthouse peninsula, allowing you to visit the lighthouse building and meet Lightkeeper.

Note: If not all members of your lobby-made group have an encoded transmitter, it will have the "blocked" state and the bridge can't be passed.
