Guide
The quest requires you to find Jaeger’s camp, which is “next to an iron bird”. That is the crashed airplane which is found somewhere in the middle of the map.
For a better bearing, this is where the location of the watch tower is. It is next to the nose of the crashed plane.
Once you find and pick up the letter which is hidden under the watch tower, you shouldn’t die and extract. Once you extract, you should deliver the item to Mechanic. Keep in mind that dying with the item in your quest inventory would make you lose the item, so make sure you return your quest items before you hop into a new raid.
This is a very easy quest and could easily be paired with Shortage from Therapist. Woods is not a poor map, and it contains a lot of food spawns, medical items, etc. This means that finding an Iskra ration packs, Emelya Rye croutons, or Cans of beef stew (Large), is of a high advantage, as they will be required by Jaeger’s first quest once you unlock him. Every sort of food required by Jaeger can be actually found on Woods, and that’s why it’s so good to pair it with his questline.
