SICC Case in Escape from Tarkov: What It Holds and How to Get One

The SICC case is the in-game item "S I C C organizational pouch", a small container that stores a lot of small items in very little inventory space. The name is a joke on the slang word "sick", written with spaced letters like the T H I C C item case, and the model is based on a real VERTX organizational pouch. A frequent mix-up is to treat it as a secure container. It is not one: it is an ordinary container with a strict list of allowed contents.

The numbers below come from the official Escape from Tarkov wiki (item page last edited 6 August 2026, container table 13 October 2026), read on 2 November 2026.

Size and limits

Property	Value
Space it takes in your inventory	2 slots
Space inside	25 slots, a 5x5 grid
Slots gained per slot used	12.5
Weight	0.187 kg
Carry limit	5 at the same time in a raid inventory
Can it go inside a secure container	Yes

For comparison, a Document case holds 16 slots for 2 slots of space (8 per slot), and the Key tool holds 16 for 1 (16 per slot), so the SICC sits between them in efficiency.

What goes inside

According to the wiki the pouch accepts only:

• currency (roubles, dollars, euros)
• keys and keycards
• posters
• dogtags
• Physical Bitcoin
• the Veritas guitar pick
• the Secure Flash drive
• the Chain with Prokill medallion
• the Gold skull ring
• BattlePass documents (listed on the item page, not yet in the container table)

Ammo, meds, weapons and ordinary barter items do not fit. Compared with the Document case, the SICC takes dogtags but not maps or info items, so the two are not interchangeable.

Using it with a secure container

The container table marks the SICC as allowed inside a secure container. The Secure containers page describes those as items that are not lost on death. With the smallest one, Alpha (4 slots), a SICC uses 2 of the 4 slots and adds room for 25 compatible items. The wiki does not discuss this combination in prose, so the conclusion that the contents stay protected follows from the two statements above; test it with a cheap item before relying on it. The containers and keys glossary covers Alpha, Beta and the larger containers.

How to get one

The wiki lists no loot spawn for the pouch, only two quest rewards and two barters:

Source	Details
Quest "Stray Dogs" (Jaeger, loyalty level 4)	Kill Knight, Big Pipe and Birdeye, each in one raid. Also pays 400,000 roubles and 65,000 experience.
Quest "Keeper's Word" (Lightkeeper)	Stash a Cultist knife in three spots in The Labyrinth. Also pays 4,200 dollars.
Peacekeeper barter, level 1	1 Ultralink satellite communication module and 2 IBX Gigachad cryptographic processors. Unlocked by the Icebreaker task "Wiring the Vessel".
Jaeger barter, level 4	12 Paracord, 15 Duct tape, 15 Insulating tape and 15 Packs of nails.

Each quest gives one pouch. The two barters need Peacekeeper's level 1 after the Icebreaker task, or Jaeger's top level 4.

Common mistakes

• Expecting safety. A pouch carried in a rig or backpack is lost with the character; only a pouch inside the secure container is protected, as far as the wiki's two statements imply.
• Trying to fit ammo or meds. They are not on the allowed list.
• Confusing it with the T H I C C item case, which has 196 slots and accepts almost everything except other cases.
