How the Kord Breach Battle Pass Works

The first-ever battle pass in Escape from Tarkov is completely free and doesn’t feature a paywalled “VIP” track. But there’s a Tarkov-esque caveat - you’re going to have to work hard to unlock every reward in it.

The thing is - this battle pass does not use a traditional XP track. You don’t get battle pass XP to unlock rewards on level up. Instead, players unlock its rewards by finding and submitting special seasonal items called Documents. And let me tell you, this is actually a blessing in disguise!

Each reward has its own requirements, which can be viewed by selecting it in the Battle Pass menu. Most rewards require a specific number of one or more Document types. Once all required Documents have been submitted, the reward can be claimed.

Documents are a new type of item that can spawn during raids in specific places. In today’s guide, I’ll list all spots that I know of so far with some screenshots to demonstrate that I’ve actually found those spots myself and not just looked them up on YouTube.

So, is Escape from Tarkov Battle Pass free? Yes, it is, absolutely free, although you do have the option to buy those documents and unlock rewards with your money. But there’s no “premium” track. Another great thing about this BP is that it’s synchronized across all game modes and characters. Meaning, you can progress it and farm documents on Permanent PvP, Seasonal PvP, and PvE characters. Unlocked Battle Pass rewards are also immediately available to all characters and will remain after the season has ended or a profile is reset for a prestige. What doesn’t carry over are Battle Pass currency, Documents, and Black Division crates (one of the BP rewards). Black Division crates are also not synchronized between characters; you can only claim them for one character once.

Document Types and Daily Cap

The Kord Breach Battle Pass includes eight regular Document types found during raids. Each category appears on three specific maps, listed directly in its in-game description.

There is also a ninth special type called Classified Documents. These can be purchased through the Expansion Hub and used instead of any regular Document required for a Battle Pass reward.

Document type	Description	Maps
Technical documentation	Operating manuals for TerraGroup equipment.	Shoreline, Woods, Lighthouse
Medical documents	Medical records containing TerraGroup research findings.	The Lab, Ground Zero, The Labyrinth
User documentation	Documentation issued to new TerraGroup employees.	Ground Zero, Streets of Tarkov, The Lab
Test documentation	Records of experiments conducted in TerraGroup-controlled laboratories.	Shoreline, Woods, Icebreaker
Blueprints and technical documentation	TerraGroup blueprints and technical data backed up onto a disk.	Interchange, Factory, The Labyrinth
Project documentation	Tarkov Infraline documents and blueprints unrelated to transportation infrastructure.	Factory, Reserve, Customs
PMC personnel files	TerraGroup personnel records covering PMC operators.	Reserve, Lighthouse, Icebreaker
Financial documents	Financial reports from TerraGroup and its affiliated companies.	Customs, Streets of Tarkov, Interchange
Classified documents	A universal Document that can replace any other required type.	Purchased from the Expansion Hub

 

Note that docs don’t just appear anywhere on the specified maps; there are specific locations you must go to, which I will list in this guide.

Also, these documents can be found on dead Black Division soldiers, which have a chance to spawn on any map if you play as a seasonal character. Black Division are mostly seen on Icebreaker and Terminal maps.

Another source of the docs is the seasonal questline [Kord Breach] available to seasonal characters only.

Classified Documents are the Battle Pass’s universal currency. A Classified Document can be submitted in place of any regular Document type, making it useful when a player is missing a specific category needed for a reward.

Unlike the eight regular types, Classified Documents are not described as raid spawns. They are available from the Expansion Hub and can be bought with money. Because they can replace any category, they provide a paid alternative to repeatedly searching specific maps for one missing Document. So, yes, you can literally buy Battle Pass rewards with real money.

But it is possible to exchange different types of documents. I’ll provide more info once I learn how that works.

There’s another rule - you can’t just run the raids nonstop, checking out the same spots with no end. Players can only find a limited number of Documents per day. Here’s the daily cap table:

Game mode	Daily Document limit
PvP Zone	15
PvE Zone	10
PvP Season	25

Since PvE is the easiest mode of all, its cap is the lowest of the 3, which is understandable. And I'm pretty sure they don’t spawn in practice mode. You can check the current limit on the battle pass page, at the bottom where the document types are listed. This limit is shared between all characters. If I were you, if you have PvE, I’d find the first 10 in PvE.

Each document is a physical item, meaning it doesn’t go to your “quest item” inventory, so you actually have to have space in your pockets to grab the docs. Luckily, these items can also be put into your secure container.

I, for one, am excited to farm these documents because they give me something else to do other than the endless grind for quests, which sometimes lead to the game crashing due to a memory leak. I’ve almost deleted the game because of that. At least now, I get to do something different, learn the maps by memorizing spawn locations, and on top of all of that, I get to keep exclusive rewards that won’t be available once the season ends.

It is possible to find more than one document in the same raid, so if you found one, keep checking the other places if it’s safe enough. Also, docs of the same type can be stacked. I don’t know the maximum amount, but I managed to get out of one raid with 3 docs: 2 users and 1 medical.

Ground Zero Document Locations

Possible doc types: Medical documents and User documentation

TerraGroup Building, second floor

• Blue couches
  • Go upstairs to the second floor.
  • Check directly on top of the blue couches.
• Hallway bench
  • Enter the door at the end of the hallway.
  • Turn left and inspect the top of the bench.
• Room 3 workstations
  • Continue toward Rooms 3 and 4.
  • Search the workstation desks throughout Room 3.
  • Medical documents spawn on one of these desks.
• Room 4 workstations
  • Room 4 is locked from the hallway.
  • Enter Room 3 and cross the balcony to reach it.

On this map, the spawn is in the TerraGroup building, the one you start your game in. Get to the second-floor reception and check the reception desk, the blue couches, and the chairs with coffee tables. Keep going and move to the corridor; there’ll be a bench with another spawn. The most promising spawn points are actually in offices 3 and 4. Office 3 has a kitchen and some medical supplies on the table; check that table as you enter the room and then check all the tables with PCs on them. Then get into Room 4 either by using the balcony outside the window or by picking up the key off the dead scientist's body on the first floor. Once inside, check every desk with a PC there as well. Don’t check any drawers or loot containers.

Factory Document Locations

Possible types: Blueprints, technical documentation, and Project documentation

Med Laboratory area near Gate 2

• Ground-floor wooden bench
  • • Enter the laboratory building near Gate 2.
    • Check the top of the wooden bench near the entrance.
• Second-floor laboratory desk
  • Go upstairs to the second floor.
  • Search the desk inside the room shown in the screenshot.
  • Blueprints and technical documentation were found here.

Third-floor office area

• Breached office
  • • Go to the third floor.
    • Breach the door.
    • Look to the left beside the metal cabinet.
• Safe office desk and drawer
  • Enter the adjacent office containing the safe.
  • Check the top of the desk and the open drawer.
  • Blueprints and technical documentation were shown inside the drawer.
• Safe office filing cabinet
  • Check the top of the filing cabinet on the left side.
  • Search the nearby desk as well.

First-floor office area

• Window-access room
  • • The room cannot be entered normally.
    • Climb through one window and enter through the window at the rear.
    • Search the desk with the monitor and the top of the filing cabinet.

Near Gate 1

• Blue lockers
  • Start at Gate 1.
  • Turn around and follow the right wall.
  • Find the two jackets and inspect the nearby blue lockers.

There is also one major spawn spot for these docs, and it's in the med lab next to Gate 2. You probably already know this, as it’s a common spawn. You primarily look in two places. The ground floor, on the bench and in the office that has the door into the lab on the second floor. In the office, the doc could be found on either the toppled table or in the niche of the table right next to it. The lab doesn’t appear to have any spawns.

Another spot is the Factory administration building office on the third floor. You know the one. The main office with the safe in it; turn right and look into the open desk drawer. If you move to the left of that office, where the metal cabinets are and an older PC with the blue screen, check the top of the metal cabinet and the desk near it. Also, next door is breachable, and inside you’ll see a lot of furniture tossed around; look for the Project docs on the left, near or on top of the metal cabinet.

Then there’s one on the first floor of the same building. Find a door that can’t be breached or opened, go left and exit outside, then move to the window leading into that room and enter through it. Check the desks and cabinets.

The final spot is next to Gate 1; turn around and find the blue lockers.

 

 

Woods Document Locations

Possible types: Technical documentation and Test documentation

• Plane crash cockpit
  • • Go to the crashed aircraft.
    • Enter the cockpit and inspect the interior.
• Checkpoint guard post near Sawmill
  • Enter the small checkpoint cabin near the lumber mill.
  • Check the top of the filing cabinet.
• Dead PMC near Scav House
  • Find the damaged black SUV near Scav House.
  • Look behind the vehicle for a dead PMC.
  • Check the ground beside the body.

In Woods, the spawn spots for docs are in pretty low-traffic areas. The first one is the crashed plane’s cockpit. No player needs to go there unless they’re doing the first Jaeger and Mechanic tasks. The second spawn is in the USEC checkpoint, right after the Sawmill. It’s a medium traffic area because it's on the way to the pickup extract, and it contains the two metal cabinets and a few military cases. Check for docs on top of those two cabinets. The final spawn is in the open. When going from the checkpoint and towards the pickup extract, on the road leading to the scav house with the mounted LMG, you’ll see a burnt SUV and a dead body covered in tarp. Check the tarp. Sometimes a lootable dead USEC spawns by the SUV as well. It’s hard to miss, but be careful and check the area before looting there.

Interchange Document Locations

Possible types: Blueprints, technical documentation, and Financial documents

• Office between OLI and Goshan
  • • Enter the small office located between OLI and Goshan.
    • Find the smaller control-room-style office inside.
    • Check the desk beside the stack of books.
    • Financial documents were shown here.
• IDEA office
  • Enter the IDEA office area.
  • Check the desk immediately to the left.
  • Search the tops of the other desks throughout the room.

When facing the GOSHAN grocery store, turn right and go inside the double doors that lead to the offices. Enter the smaller office with desks, and check those. Another spot is in the offices next to IDEA. The offices are on the left end of the store when you’re facing it. Search every desk there too.

Customs Document Locations

Possible types: Project documentation and Financial documents

The Big Red

• Two blue shacks beside Big Red
  • • Enter both blue shacks.
    • Check the desks and the tops of the cabinets.
    • Financial documents were shown in one of these spots.
• Blue shack opposite Big Red
  • Cross to the other side of the warehouse.
  • Enter the separate blue shack.
  • Check the desk and the tops of the filing cabinets.
• Customs office inside Big Red
  • Climb the stairs inside the warehouse.
  • Unlock the office using the Customs office key.
  • Enter the first room on the right.
  • Search the tops of all the tables.

Crackhouse

• Second-floor library room
  • • Go upstairs and enter the first room ahead.
    • Check the table, filing cabinets, and bookshelves.
    • Inspect the gaps between individual books.
    • Financial documents are between books on the far bookshelf in the corner.

Stronghold

• Couch area
  • • Enter the smaller interior area containing a couch.
    • Check directly on top of the couch.

Old Gas Station

• Station interior
  • • Search the desk.
    • Check the floor and shelves around the room.

Two-story Dorms

• Room described as the “guardhouse key room”
  • • Check the ledge or table near the room.
• Room 216
  • Go upstairs and enter Room 216.
  • Search the desk and cabinets.

Three-story Dorms

• Guard room
  • • Search the unlocked guard room.
    • The exact spawn surface is not stated.
• Room 212

• • Go upstairs to Room 212.
  • Check the desk holding the computer.

The easiest spawn to memorize is the one on the side of the Customs administration building, you know, the red one. On its territory, there are two blue shacks, one with a medical crate. Go there and check the desk, on top of the metal cabinet, and around the place. Do check both of those control points. Another spawn is in the administration offices, so you will need a key, which you’ll likely end up having anyway for one of the first tasks. Get in there and check every office desk in there.

The next spot is in the medical building behind the two factories where the scavs spawn. Its windows overlook the Scav base. Go to the second floor there and inspect every file cabinet, every desk, and bookshelf. Sometimes the documentation spawns tucked in between books, so keep your eyes open!

Another spawn is inside the Scav base, you know the one where the Goons spawn sometimes. If you know one of the tasks for unlocking the Ref trader is placing posters in the Scav base, that’s the room where you need to check. The one with beds and a couch. Check the couch.

One more spawn is in the Old Gas Station. Check on the floor and on the desk.

In the two-story dorm, there’s a spawn point right at the reception. But not inside, but outside. Then, in the same building, check room 216.

The reception in the three-story dorm also has a spawn point. Then check room 212 on the second floor.

 

 

The Lab Document Locations

Possible types: Medical documents and User documentation

• Meeting room above reception
  • • Go to the second floor above the reception area.
    • Face the cat statues and turn right.
    • Enter the unlocked room.
    • Break the glass and check the oval meeting table.
• Green keycard medical area
  • Search the medical area accessed with the green keycard.
  • The creator did not enter it or identify an exact surface.
• Workstations opposite the red keycard room
  • Face the cat statues and turn left toward the red keycard room.
  • Search the workstations directly opposite its entrance.
  • Check the tops of the desks and tables.

In the Labs, possibly the worst place to hunt for docs. The simplest place to remember is the second floor above the reception. Look at the round table with the cat statues and turn right. The first door on the right will lead you into an office. Inside, there’ll be a meeting room with a larger desk and a laptop on it. Check that desk.

Now, go back and turn left this time from the cat statues. The first door on the left will need a red keycard. Inspect all tables there.

Another place to check is next to the Infirmary, for which you’ll need a green keycard to access.

The missing maps and document spawns that will be added to this guide soon:

• Shoreline
• Lighthouse
• Reserve
• Streets of Tarkov
• Icebreaker
• The Labyrinth

Tips for Farming Battle Pass Documentation in Espace from Tarkov

Now, I know I’ve already sprinkled some advice here and there in this guide, but I want to put them all together in one section to help you memorize them:

1. Watch the daily cap
2. You can stack the same docs in your inventory and inside your stash
3. It’s possible to find more than one doc in the same raid, so check all possible spots!
4. Make sure to make some space in your secure container (even Alpha) to ensure safe extraction no matter what!
5. I recommend farming docs in PvE mode if you have access to it.
6. You CAN USE SCAVS to find documentation. Do that instead of risking your PMC.
7. Farm docs in smaller maps first: Ground Zero and Factory are the best (beware of Tagila!). Then go to Customs, Interchange, Woods, etc.
8. Some spawn points are behind locked doors; make sure you have the keys!
9. In the battle pass, you must unlock all rewards on the current page before being able to claim the rewards from the next page. There are 12 pages in total.
10. You don’t need to buy Classified Documents to unlock all rewards in the battle pass.

My ideal approach for farming these docs would be using PvE mode to find the first 10, and then the other 15 using mainly runs as a Scav. Enjoy!
