CHAPTER Tour

Story Context

During the assault on the TerraGroup office, a massive explosion erupted on top of one of the nearby high-rises. I got left on my own, with no contact with command. Looks like I'll have to handle the evacuation myself.

But first things first, I have to get out of this Ground Zero.

Therapist said she can secure safe exit routes, but it's gonna cost. I'm not sure I can trust her, but there's no other option. I need to gather the cash.

Therapist has provided me with safe routes through the city blocks.

I can now access streets of Tarkov when needed.

Ragman turned out to be a pretty reasonable person. He's not letting me through for free, but in exchange for a simple job, he's willing to introduce me to one of the local big shots over by the customs terminal. That's something, at least.

I managed to make a deal with Ragman for safe passage from the Interchange towards the Terminal. If the port really is sealed off, I'll need contacts like him.

Ragman promised to introduce me to a local trader who goes by the name Skier. I should pay him a visit.

I can now move into customs and start working with Skier. It's the only way I'll reach the port.

Skier knows some kind of weapons specialist near the chemical plant. That's not the kind of contact I can afford to pass up. But in exchange for the info, Skier wants me to help gather building materials to rebuild one of his warehouses.

Skier pointed me the way to the factory and even gave me a contact to link up with Mechanic.

Mechanic could turn out to be one of the most valuable contacts in Tarkov. I need to make this meeting happen soon.

Mechanic is one of the few who's still trying to keep a human face in Tarkov. He's willing to put me in touch with Propor, who has supply channels for Russian weapons.

But before he sends me, he asked a favor. I need to recon the Factory and find the bandits holed up there. Mechanic wants samples of their weaponry to determine exactly who's planning to seize the Factory.

The road to the port runs from the Factory through the Priozersk nature reserve, and Mechanic shared a couple of routes with me along with a contact for Prapor, who can provide me with Russian-made equipment.

Now I can access the woods area and start working with Propor.

This time Skier gave me a tougher job. I need to stir up trouble in the nature reserve and neutralize the Scavs that attacked Skier's warehouses. I don't necessarily have to track down anyone specific. For Skier, the point is to make a loud statement.

I can now get to the coast and investigate the evacuation point at the port terminal. The port must be guarded, but the military likely left some kind of comms to contact them from outside the gate. I need to find it and make contact with the garrison at the port.

I completed the job for Skier, and in return he showed me a path to the coast. They say the Azure Coast health resort was an important TerraGroup point during the evacuation.

Now I can access shoreline, and I can also buy equipment from Peacekeeper.

The port is indeed sealed off. They told me to get lost, and it doesn't look like they're letting anyone through at all.

There's still no contact with command, but that doesn't necessarily mean anything. I doubt they'd abandon this many trained fighters in Tarkov. Either way, staying put without checking the evacuation point would've been a mistake.

I need to talk to the locals. That might be my best chance of getting out of here.

Through Mechanic I managed to get in touch with Peacekeeper, who operates on the coast around the Tarkov lighthouse. Without an "investment" in the UNTAR operation, Peacekeeper refuses to give a safe route to him.

Looks like I'll have to pay for the ability to move freely in that area and to gain access to Western gear. The money has to be delivered through Mechanic.

Someone attacked Prapor's convoy on the coast near the health resort. Judging by their weapons, the attackers were clearly PMC operatives. Now Prapor wants to find out exactly who was behind the attack. He said they couldn't have gone far and is demanding PMC dogtags in exchange for the route to some military base.

In exchange for the favor, Prapor gave me the coordinates of a local Russian military reserve base. The base could hold a lot of important supplies and data on what's happening in Tarkov.

I can now access the reserve.

Even before being sent to Tarkov, many of our guys were talking about some underground TerraGroup facilities. Maybe if I can grab a truly important sample or some real data from there, I'll have a better shot at getting out of the city. The locals still won't trust me with anything important. I have to act on my own.

I won't be able to find TerraGroup's remote sites without a lead. But they must have had a hub or some facility inside the city. I need to find the entrance and figure out how to break in. For a site like that, TerraGroup probably set up an access system, meaning I can't get in without a specific keycard or access codes.

I can now make my way to the lighthouse. I still don't know the details, but it seems one of the most influential people in locked-down Tarkov is there.

I found an access keycard to TerraGroup Labs. I doubt it has top-level clearance, but it should at least open the way into the facility.

I managed to get into an underground TerraGroup laboratory. I need to thoroughly search the interior and get my bearings here.

I found not just a TerraGroup basement room under the city blocks, but a full-fledged underground laboratory... It looks like this is where the main work of TerraGroup Labs was done. Many doors are locked with keycards at different access levels.

I'm going to have to come back here, and more than once. But first I need to score better gear.

In any case, now I can access the lab.

None of the traders know how to get out of Tarkov. Or maybe they just don't trust me, or are stalling for time.

Either way, I need to build stronger ties with them if I want even a small chance of evacuation. It'll take time and effort.

That means I'll have to set up my own hideout and dig in. Without any kind of support from the locals, I won't last long.

I need to learn this city, every route and district. The more I understand Tarkov, the closer I'll get to leaving it behind.

The evacuation at the port has been shut down. But I've managed to get my bearings in Tarkov and now know safe approaches to almost every district. I've also met several traders who are willing to work with me.

I should keep building bridges and shoring up my position, because it's going to be a long time before I get out of here.
