PMC kills at Customs dorms in PvE are usually done by rushing dorms early, clearing both 2-story and 3-story, and checking stairwells, corners, and unlocked rooms first. Community reports say spawns are still RNG-heavy, but dorms are one of the most common places to find them, especially if Reshala and his guards are not already occupying the area.

Practical route

  • Spawn near New Gas: move to 3-story dorms first, enter carefully, and clear floor by floor.
  • Spawn near Big Red: reverse the route and hit dorms after crossing over.
  • If you hear gunfire near dorms, push there immediately; PvE PMCs often cluster around common combat zones.

Best spots inside dorms

  • 3-story stairwells.
  • 2-story rooms and corners.
  • Unlocked rooms on the upper floors.
  • The middle section between both dorm buildings, where PMCs can linger or rotate through.

Why it feels inconsistent

  • Spawns are random, so some raids have none and others have multiple PMCs in the same dorm complex.
  • Reshala, guards, scavs, and PMCs can all overlap, which can either help or wipe out the PMCs before you arrive.
  • Several players report better results by rushing early rather than waiting around the map.

Fast farm pattern

  1. Spawn in.
  2. Head straight to dorms.
  3. Clear both buildings quickly.
  4. If no PMCs are there, rotate to another hotspot like New Gas or Fortress, then extract and repeat.

Small tip

If you are doing a kill quest, outside kills near dorms still count if the PMCs are close enough to the area, so you do not always need a perfect indoor fight.

TL;DR: Rush Customs dorms early, check 2-story and 3-story thoroughly, and repeat raids because PMC spawns there are real but heavily RNG-based.[2][9][4]
