If melee weapon enthusiasts in Escape From Tarkov will undoubtedly enjoy completing Jaeger’s Level 40 Elimination Quest, “Slaughterhouse.” As its name entails, this mission involves exploring the various maps of Tarkov while hunting down Scavs with melee weaponry. Depending on player preference, such a task might sound very engaging or unnecessarily challenging. Regardless, completion of this quest will reward participants handsomely by granting 34,700 EXP, Reputation Points with Jaeger, ₽100,000, and the ability to barter for the SOG Voodoo Hawk tactical Tomahawk at Jaeger LL4. According to its in-game description, the SOG combines three melee weapon features: “an extended cutting head, compact glass-reinforced nylon handle, and a metal butt cap.”

Completing the Slaughterhouse Quest in Escape From Tarkov

To complete the “Slaughterhouse” Jaeger Quest in Escape From Tarkov, participants must melee-kill ten Scavs on all eight available maps in the game. Since there are no details regarding how each target is slain, it is likely that players can potentially weaken their enemies with non-fatal shots and use melee attacks as finishing blows.

Naturally, completing the “Slaughterhouse” Quest in Escape From Tarkov is easier said than done, as getting into slashing or bashing range is moderately risky, especially when going up against targets with shotguns or agile SMGs. Conversely, those with long-range weaponry might be more prone to being slain with melee strikes, but there is no way to tell if an enemy has a close-quarter counterattack of their own. Therefore, it is essential that quest participants approach each target with the awareness that their opponent might have a trick up their sleeve to counter their slashes and stabs.
