How To Complete Tarkov's First Marathon Quest Early!

you might be how surprised how easy it is to learn in just a handful of practice modes, and then it's honestly not hard to avoid combat because it pops off so loud and so early

[@aenodarr7936]

@@keybored- I play labs quite often, the problem is that my luck is not kind to me, so I almost always run into stacked 4-5 man. It's not the map really that's hard, it's the people you meet there

[@MilkTestingMan]

@@SteveHarvey272guess this is the wipe I finally need to learn labs. I’ve got 1100 hours and it’s the only map I still don’t know lmao.

[@b4ptist]

Managed to do this quest plus the peacekeeper one thanks to this video inspiring me, just make sure when placing the marker in labs or any other map you don't activate transit! if you do you cannot extract and will have to transit happened to me in labs and I had to go back to streets to extract. Marathon mode is really cool and the 4 raids I tied together to complete the 2 quests was probably the most fun I've had in tarkov, makes it feel more fluid or continuous gives more meaning to the raids. I've played since labs got introduced. The other tip I have is DONT GO FOR TRANSFER RIGHT AT 7 MINS its usually a shit show at that area (especially on ground zero) and the menu can take some fucking around to activate. also do a good sweep of the area to make sure its clear, killed a couple guys on ground zero camping the transit point.

[@RevvingInPeace]

i never played labs. Do you need all the color keycards to complete this quest?

[@b4ptist]

@@RevvingInPeace No you just need a labs access keycard, in your secure container. I do recommend going in offline mode and learning the map a little to get used to it, the downstairs is very much a maze and upstairs can be very dangerous. insurance also doesn't work in the lab. extracting can be difficult too because you need to activate all extracts and wait for a door to open or power to come on. Be careful! and have fun!

[@weiixia201]

Thanks a lot! I would suggest displaying the routes you took on maps, so it's easier for newer players to see where we are going

[@CrayonEater9845]

Please put up a map with a mark when talking about locations (ie streets to lab transition)

[@PIDOFREAK]

Thanks for the guide! Did it the 1st time i got to labs through marathon (the transit points are crowded near the transit time begin)

[@josephmurray3686]

This is great except for when you get to labs and get head/eyes by a cheater. As a labs main, early labs is brutal with cheaters farming high tier loot.

[@Globstark]

I'm pretty sure they would have to be in marathon mode too. you don't just hop into a labs rain with people who went just labs.

[@emmettdraz212]

My issue with this mode is my game crashes about every 3 raids so going non-stop for 3 plus raids especially streets and labs sounds awful. I'm not sure I'd want to risk kits and a labs card for it. Optimization is personally my biggest issue with EFT it has the biggest negative impact on my gameplay

[@vanez688]

That is happening because of memory leaks. Your ram slowly fills up with useless data, and eventually you dont have enough to load into raid. Software like mem reduct or/and intelligent standby list cleaner helps with that. personally i use both

[@squirrelm3195]

That sucks. Out of curiosity, what are your RAM specs? I had a BUNCH of issues before I upgraded

[@theomegakiller7059]

Maybe you should beef up your ram if that's the case. This happens because of memory leaks. I'd suggest turning on automatic cleaner in the game settings which helps

[@rainbowprincess1258]

Do you have to start from ground zero to do all the tasks with a transit involved?

[@nwigchert10]

This really just exposed how bad the food/water system is in tarkov. The counter realistic idea that you can drink an entire bottle of water and be at "deadly" levels of dehydration by popping stims within minutes. That entire Meal Ready to Eat, you'll be hungry in 10min. Not just hungry, you'll die from famine. Lol

The wiki and you both say that you can complete everything except the transitions outside of marathon mode, and indeed, I got the notification for hitting the zones, but then, after dying on my way to extract labs, it showed none of the subtasks completed.

Its so fucking bad from BSG. They exactly knew what they where doing. First Transit so open with a million angles and so many bushes. Its a horror mess.

And if you did it that far you can face cheaters and extract campers while trying to walk trough the most contestet pvp are on labs. The guy who created this quest was probably the same guy with the claymore inside the terragroup building on Ground zero
