What is the Energy Crisis Tarkov Quest?

The Energy Crisis quest is from one of Tarkov’s traders, Jaeger, who is known for his survival-themed missions.

It involves searching and marking fuel tanks in the marked areas and going through the dangers of Tarkov.

Completing this would involve some level of exploration, survival skills, and combat-ready.

Key Objectives:

• Find and mark the fuel tanks on the Lighthouse map with MS2000 markers.
• Survive and extract from the raid.

Rewards:

• EXP
• Reputation boost for Jaeger
• Good loot
• Future quests

Pre-Quest Preparations

It is quite important to prepare before accepting the “Energy Crisis Tarkov” quest. The following steps will get you ready for this task.

• Collect MS2000 Markers: This mission requires four MS2000 markers to complete. Collect these by either buying them at Prapor or by manufacturing them at your hideout Workbench.
• Knowledge of Lighthouse Map: This map has big landscapes with sniper nests, high-risk hotspots, and several landmark points to extract. Be aware of where the fuel tanks are, not to be used for unnecessary exposure.
• Gear Appropriately: Equip yourself with mid-to-high-tier armour and weapons because Lighthouse is a hotspot for PvP encounters. Carry a reliable weapon, ammo, and healing items with you. Do not forget to carry extra food and water to maintain hydration and energy levels throughout the day during extended raids.
• Choose the Best Time to Launch the Raid: Daylight raids are best for clear visibility and easier navigation. However, night raids will be useful in stealthy raids to avoid PvP engagements.
• Team Up if Possible: It can be done alone, but it is better with others since the player can gain more safety while marking fuel tanks.

How to Complete Energy Crisis Tarkov?

1. Spawn and First Navigation: Enter the Lighthouse map, first identifying the fuel tanks. Using your knowledge of the map, take a route that would minimize time in areas that have much traffic.
2. Fuel Tanks: Fuel tanks are located on various parts of the map. These are usually under dispute, so be careful and clean the location before marking. These are where to find them:
   • Tank 1: Next to the Water Treatment Plant.
   • Tank 2: Next to the building site.
   • Tank 3: Runs parallel to South Road.
   • Tank 4: Near the shipyard
3. Mark the Fuel Tanks: Once you spot a fuel tank, prepare an MS2000 marker from your stash. Then, touch the tank. It will mark, and a countdown will begin. Stay close to it for at least two seconds so that you will get an idea if it is right.
4. Survival Against Hostile Encounters: Lighthouse is infamous for its very high-density enemy AI and other players. So be ready for:
   • Rogue Scavs: They are AI-controlled and patrol important areas. Very good aim.
   • Snipers: This is heaven for snipers. Always search the rooftops and elevated spots.
   • Other Players: Coming by Lighthouse, many come to loot, so often PvPing is there.
   • Always be aware, use your cover well, and just do not get in unnecessary firefights.
5. Pull Out Safely: Head to an extraction point after marking all four tanks. Generic extraction points are:
   • Southern Road Exit
   • Northern Checkpoint
   • Mountain Pass (this requires a Paracord and Red Rebel ice pick)
   • Keep an eye on your environment and stay clear of traffic zones to increase your chances of survival.

Success Tips

• Inventory Management Optimization: Organize your inventory so you can quickly grab markers, healers, or your weapons when there is a fight. Avoid carrying unnecessary items that waste space and, consequently, the weight of your equipment.
• Sound Cues: Audial is another very important component of Tarkov. Note down the sound of footsteps, firing, or other environmental noises to predict when a threat can arise and thus act and move accordingly.
• Play Dynamic Situations: Every raid in Tarkov is unique. Be prepared to change your plan according to spawn points, enemy encounters, and extraction conditions.
• Use Cover and Concealment: Always move between cover and utilize the terrain to your advantage. Never run through open fields or high-visibility areas.
• Practice Patience: Rushing through the quest increases the risk of failure. Take your time to scout areas and engage only when necessary.

Common Challenges and How to Overcome Them?

• Marker Deployment Interruptions: If you’re interrupted while placing a marker, you’ll need to start the process again. Clear the area before attempting to mark a tank.
• High PvP Activity: Lighthouse attracts many players due to its valuable loot. Consider raiding during off-peak hours to reduce PvP encounters.
• Rogue Scavs and Snipers: Use long-range weapons and scopes to eliminate threats from a distance. If outmatched, retreat and reposition.

Post-Quest Rewards

Upon completing “Energy Crisis Tarkov,” you’ll receive:

• A significant EXP boost, aiding your overall progression.
• Improved reputation with Jaeger, unlocking better items and future quests.
• Looted rewards include valuable gear and currency.
