The Machinery Key is a mandatory key to acquire in Escape from Tarkov. It is needed to complete the Background Check task that unlocks several other tasks in the game. Most players prioritize these tasks so they can unlock other tasks that lead them to their favorite maps, like Interchange, Shoreline, or Streets of Tarkov. Here’s how you can get the Machinery Key and finish the Background Check task in Escape from Tarkov.

The Machinery Key can spawn inside any jacket, but there’s also a guaranteed spawn in Customs. Since this key is only needed for the Background Check task, you can get the Machinery Key, go to the truck, use the key, pick up the Bronze Pocketwatch, and survive and extract with it in one raid.
