Here’s all you need to know about the Out of Curiosity Quest in Escape from Tarkov.
Out of Curiosity Quest Guide
Firstly, before getting into the nitty-gritty of the Out of Curiosity quest, let us see what the alternative quests are:
Chemical Part 4 - Skier
Big Customer - Prapor
Note that the above-mentioned quests and the Therapist task all have the same objectives and the player just has to decide with whom they are teaming up to finish it.
During the Out of Curiosity Quest, Therapist says, “Young man, I cannot stand aside on this one. I'm aware that you are now working with this so-called Skier. This disreputable man pursues completely lucrative interests and that is a matter of great concern to me. Especially all this story with secret experiments on a substance that you call the yellow chemical. The substance is extremely dangerous, and I have a major request for you.”
She asks the player if they could give up the coordinates of the chemicals to her and that she is well aware of Skier. The Therapist also promises to pay well. “Again, this is all just for the sake of our people,” she adds.
The quest objectives are as follows:
Find the transport with the chemicals on Customs
Mark the vehicle with an MS2000 Marker
Survive and extract from Customs
You need to buy the MS2000 Marker from Prapor. Once you have placed the market on the van, you need to stay alive for 30 seconds or you will have to place another marker on the van, Note that you don’t have to be close to the van once you have placed the MS2000 Marker. All you need to do is find a good hiding spot and wait until the timer is complete.
For this quest, you need to go to the warehouse near the big crane and enter it. Once you are in, you will notice a van with a pole sticking out of the front and this is the van you need to mark.
Make sure to hand it over to the Therapist instead of Skier and Prapor.
