How to Get to Icebreaker in Escape from Tarkov—Poster Location, Explained

Escape from Tarkov’s Icebreaker update is here, and fans of the pioneering extraction shooter are trying to figure out how to get to Icebreaker, the new map added for this event. Following the deployment of the update, it wasn’t immediately obvious how to trigger the Boreas questline and head to Icebreaker, but this guide outlines exactly what to do.

It’s not as tough as it seems, and learning how to find Icebreaker in Escape from Tarkov is just a few steps away.

Where to Find the Ship Poster in Escape from Tarkov

Battlestate Games has listed a few ways to get to Icebreaker in Escape from Tarkov, and one of them is to have Intelligence LL3 in your Hideout. That’s a tall ask for anyone who might have prestiged or who hasn’t leveled up their Hideout enough, but it doesn’t end there.

In fact, the easiest way to start the Boreas storyline and get to Icebreaker doesn’t involve your Hideout at all.

Instead, you’ll want to head to Ground Zero and search the map for a new poster:

This poster can be found spontaneously across the map, but I found mine by the main staircase in the central Terragroup building on Ground Zero. This is the easiest way to start Icebreaker.

From there, head back to the lobby, go to Mechanic, and engage him in conversation, asking him about the new poster and what you’ve discovered.

He’ll tell you everything you need to know, including giving you your next target.

You’ll have to head to Woods and go to the Scav Bunker in the top-left corner of the map, taking a Toolkit to perform a repair job on a radio tower there.

The next steps are being unravelled by players as we speak, but let us know on the Insider Gaming Discord server if you’re working faster than them!
