Is This a Reference? is a Quest in Escape from Tarkov.
Dialogue[]
Hello, merc. Do you ever find yourself thinking that certain places in Tarkov look suspiciously similar to something you've already seen before? One of my outside contacts has proven to be an avid admirer of such coincidences. Well, now I need someone to set up surveillance on these listed locations. Oh, one more thing. The client asked me to tell whoever takes the job to do this with "maximum effort" and something about "207 bones in the human body", whatever that means. Looks like this comedian is bored out of his mind and doesn't know what to do with himself.

Well would you look at this. The customer is very pleased with the material. He even said that he himself would fit in well with the local culture with his blades and pistols. We really don't need any more katana lovers in leather suits around here... I hope his interest in Tarkov passes as quickly as it arose.
