The latest in-game event in Escape From Tarkov has introduced a new quest called “Bad Feeling” from Jaeger, requiring players to kill 57 raiders and 23 PMCs in The Lab map. While this may seem challenging, the event offers free entry to Labs, making it easier for players to complete the quest. The rewards for completing the quest include thermal scopes and experience points, although these rewards may not be useful for all players. This event is typically a sign of the end of wipe celebrations, indicating that a wipe is on the horizon.
The free entry to Labs as part of the event suggests that the next Escape From Tarkov wipe may be near, as these types of events usually precede a wipe by a week or two. While the wipe is expected to occur in August, exact dates have not been provided, and the free Labs entry event may be a hint that the wipe will likely arrive in the first week or two of August. Players have a limited time to complete the event, which will conclude on July 29 at 10 am BST/5 am EDT. However, the wipe is unlikely to occur on this date, as additional events typically take place before the wipe.
In order to complete the “Bad Feeling” quest, players must enter The Lab map and eliminate the required number of PMCs and raiders. This can be a challenging task, as other players will also be attempting to complete the quest and may pose a threat. Once the required number of enemies have been eliminated, players can turn in the quest to Jaeger and receive their rewards. The quest rewards include thermal scopes and XP, which can provide players with an advantage in future gameplay.
As players work to complete the quest and earn rewards, they should be aware that the end of the wipe events are underway, signaling the impending wipe. Typically, additional events and sales with traders occur before the wipe, indicating that the end is near. Players can expect to see these events and sales in the days leading up to the wipe, serving as a final opportunity to stock up on gear and prepare for the reset. While the exact date of the wipe remains unknown, the current event and upcoming events serve as indicators that the wipe is approaching.
