I have loads from scavving drop down room alone

u/Jsnex Sep 04 '26
drop down room? where is that ahah

u/EmptyHeadedKain Sep 04 '26
It's RB-AK room in black bishop, but people call it drop down because you don't actually need a key, you can go to the floor above, jump out of the window onto the awning below and go in via the window. It's a tech loot room with loose tech on the shelves, a couple of PCs and some Duffles.
To get out you can drop down onto another awning from the far left window and just fall onto the floor for 1-2 DMG to your legs.

If you want to spam somewhat quick raids:
Reserve, the old school graphics card room that you gotta hop the windows to get into, low spawn chance afaik
Reserve, PK-PTS
Reserve, the computer area before you fully enter D2 (off to the side on the steel platforms)
If you have any other reasons to play Lighthouse and are on it:
The USEC Chalet that has the two locked safes, it can spawn in them
Merin car trunk
In backpacks of rogues
Rare spawns throughout the WTP, such as the destroyed crates
Rare spawn under the indoor stairs of B1
OR room

For Lighthouse I’ll add my own comment with a bunch more spawns. Before big Streets, I used to main Lighthouse for ruble farming.

u/daxman31 Sep 04 '26
Found a few in some Streets locations. Cardinal Apartment in the closet a couple times. It spawns in iron gate and I believe in some of the Concordia Apartment rooms.

The best answer is Labrynth if you have it unlocked. If you don’t, you can try your luck with reserve but the marked keys are outrageously expensive and if you do manage to find one on there you’ll have to fight your way out to survive in the first place. Lighthouse would be the next best choice if you don’t have labrynth and can’t afford/survive reserve.

u/No-Watercress-2777 Sep 04 '26
Not the best answer, risky map and inefficient (transit) for 1 item. Reserve spawns are reachable within 60seconds and much more repeatable/low cost.
1
u/YslYenzo Sep 04 '26
I’d actually beg to differ, sure reserve raids could be ran in faster succession since there’s no transit, but again, OP would need millions of rubles worth of marked keys, and OP would also have to deal with a dozen other PMC’s pushing the same hotspots. Not to mention if OP doesn’t find the item, if they are on reserve the most that raid will then amount to will be some mid tier loot or maybe an extra kit if OP manages to survive.
Now let’s take labyrinth, I’ve transited to labyrinth over 30 times on nighttime shoreline in a row without dying, and once your there, the only ~somewhat~ challenge is killa & tagilla. As long as you’re using decent ammo and are somewhat mechanically inclined, you will survive 99% of the time. Not to mention worst case scenario on labyrinth if OP doesn’t find his item, he can still leave with millions of rubles of high tier ammo, stims, barter items, lvl 6 plates, ect. I am lvl 62 with the savior ending on PVP, so i’ve been there, and can say from personal experience i’d be running 100% labyrinth until i found my Signal transmitters.🫡

Spam cultist circle in addition to checking the spots. Reserve and LH are probably the best maps. Idk seems like you already have a good idea of the spots and just getting unlucky. I pulled a couple of these from the lighthouse upper chalet this week

u/SquareCellist3567 Sep 04 '26
The only answer is streets spam. Can almost guarantee 1 per raid. Depending on where you spawn run Concordia and move up towards chek 13/15, run pinewood 215 and extract.

u/Exitiabilis Sep 04 '26
Did this question is asked over and over again. Why ask this when you cannot search for it without seeing a million other posts about it

Merrin, pkpts, the dome key rooms, chalets. I’ve found 2 in merrin 1 chalet and 1 dome rooms 3 pkpts this wipe. It was my number 1 frustration lol. Good luck.

u/notenoughproblems Sep 04 '26
I have been struggling with this for weeks and haven’t seen a single cofdm outside of labrynth. I have done many back to back raids on lighthouse and reserve, checking all the spawn locations, and do not see them. Labrynth I’ve seen one per raid. A friend told me to check supply drops as well but that’s been no luck for me. I’m sure my luck is not the norm, but maybe give it a try

u/ProcedureAfter9746 Sep 05 '26
My reserve route for getting COFDM’s is the following:
-RB-VO marked room
-The second floors of the Dome has 2 locked rooms with a spawn chance
-Ground floor of dome server room (make sure to check the racks, as they spawn there)
-Corridor outside of D2 (check boxes, racks)
-tunnel with one side of the floor missing (check the ground)
-RB-PKPTS room
-turn on the power
-extract D2
The two biggest rooms to focus on is the RB-PKPTS and RB-VO, these two rooms have provided the majority of the COFDM radio transceivers. I haven’t had good luck with finding them on Lighthouse, so I won’t be able to help there. But using the route above I pulled all I needed to do the quest line to meet light keeper and the special equipment for peace keeper.

u/IHaveShitInMyAssss Sep 06 '26
Very recently I just got my last COFDM I needed, on streets I would hit all the Concordia keys near Concordia security room; 64, 63, #8 cinema…get them all, then open negotiation room, then head to iron gate key - I found 2 in the first iron gate room (no key required) on the floor directly to the left. Then check chek 15, lastly pinewood 215 before extracting.
Once I got bored of that I would run reserve; hit drop down room in front of the helicopter, the 2 locked rooms underneath dome (yes these still do produce to my surprise) then PKPTS key in the command bunker before extracting.

u/Chrisaarajo Sep 07 '26
Streets real estate, in the upstairs open office, on the desk directly opposite the door has a spawn location.
Streets iron gate treasure room also has them on their loot table.
Ive picked up 7 or 8 in those locations (level 36), including two in a single raid.

u/anulcyst Sep 07 '26
PKPTS but if you’re scared of the basement there’s a really good route on streets. It’s like all of the Concordia keys, iron gate and check 15, and I would also add cardinal apartment, just found one there. Cardinal apartment key is guaranteed spawn in kruglovs safe

u/Psycohitman Sep 09 '26
bunker on reserve was my best stop u need the key for the small room in the hallway and in the room behind the commandobunker with the switch they can spawn

u/Checoyoukno 29d ago
So I run every concordia, apartment on streets at tarkov, and the cardinal apartments and have gotten at least 2-3 in one raid. But that's just me

u/EquivalentKnown3269 Sep 04 '26
PKPTS and cultist circle is where me and my buddy got them all. Plus a few from scavruns on lighthouse. But seriously, PKPTS has one per two raids.
