Golden Swag is Skier's Customs task: pull the golden Zibbo lighter out of Dorm room 303, hand it over, then stash a regular Zibbo lighter in the same room. It opens at player level 1 and pays 3,000 EXP, +0.10 Skier standing, 450 Euros and 2 Packs of screws. This Escape from Tarkov Golden Swag quest guide covers the keys, the room and what to do in it.

  • 3,000 EXP, 0.1 Skier Rep, 450 Euros, and 2x Pack of screws.

Golden Swag objectives

The task runs three objectives in this order:

  1. To complete this objective, find the golden Zibbo lighter in Dorm room 303 on Customs; you will need the Dorm room 303 key.
  2. Hand the found item over to Skier.
  3. Put a regular Zibbo lighter into Dorm room 303 on Customs as part of this objective; it requires the Trailer park portable cabin key.

Golden Swag is required for Kappa.

Keys you need

  • Dorm room 303 key: opens room 303 inside the three-story dorms on Customs, the place holding the golden Zibbo lighter; this key is needed for the pickup objective.
  • Trailer park portable cabin key: the key listed for the stash objective, so bring it along with the dorm key.

How to complete Golden Swag

  1. Take the Dorm room 303 key into a Customs raid.
  2. Enter the three-story dorms and go up to the third floor.
  3. Open room 303 and take the golden Zibbo lighter from the desk.
  4. Extract with it — the lighter only stays with you if you leave the raid alive.
  5. Hand the golden Zibbo lighter to Skier.
  6. Go back to Dorm room 303 and place a regular Zibbo lighter, holding the use key (default F) without moving.

The golden Zibbo only appears while Golden Swag is active, and picking it up sends it to your quest item inventory rather than your pockets.

Placing the lighter takes 30 seconds of standing still, and moving resets it. The task finishes the moment the Zibbo goes down, so no extract is needed afterwards.

How to unlock the Golden Swag quest in Tarkov
Escape From Tarkov Golden Swag Quest Guide 5
  • Stay hidden: move quietly and skip open ground, because other players may be lurking around the dorms.
  • Learn the dorms first: knowing where room 303 sits and how to get out saves you from getting lost inside.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the golden Zibbo the same as a golden Zippo?

The quest item is the Golden Zibbo lighter, a gold-plated Zibbo that Skier wants brought to him.

Do I need to extract after stashing the Zibbo?

No. Once the lighter is placed the task is done, even if you are killed right after.

What happens if I die with the golden Zibbo lighter?

You lose it, because the quest item only stays with you if you extract alive, and you have to return to room 303 for another.
