- 1x Stronghold Keycard
- 1x Throwing Knife
- 1x Inflatable Decoy
- 1x Smoke Grenade
NOTE: players can have all these items even before the deployment as they are in tactical gear. Players can also place the stronghold keycard in their backpacks as well.

- After the trade, players will complete the first objective.
For the second objective, players must use the encryption key to Activate 4 laptops located in the market POI in under 2 minutes. To do this, players need to follow these steps:

- After clearing the enemies, players need to find the laptops.
