The latest in-game event in Escape From Tarkov has introduced a new quest called Bad Feeling, which is designed by Jaeger. Players are challenged to eliminate 57 raiders and 23 PMCs on The Lab map. This task may prove challenging for some, but the event also offers free entry to the map, eliminating the need for a key card. The rewards for completing the quest include thermal scopes and XP, although these rewards may not be useful to all players.
Participating in the event allows players to access The Lab map for free, without the need for a key card. This change in access suggests that the next wipe in Escape From Tarkov may be imminent. Wipes are typically preceded by end-of-wipe events like this one, which often begin a week or two before the reset. While the next wipe is confirmed to be in August, the exact date remains unknown. However, based on the timing of this event, it is likely that the wipe will occur within the first two weeks of August.
The Bad Feeling quest is available for a limited time, ending on July 29 at 10 am BST/ 5 am EDT. Although the conclusion of this event does not necessarily indicate the wipe date, players can expect more end-of-wipe events before the reset. Typically, a fire sale with traders is a strong indicator that the wipe is imminent. Once this sale begins, players should prepare for the wipe to occur within days or even hours.
To complete the Bad Feeling quest, players must enter The Lab map and eliminate the required number of PMCs and raiders. This task can be challenging, especially since other players will also be competing for kills on the map. Once all enemies have been defeated, players can turn in the quest to Jaeger, who will reward them with thermal scopes and XP. This quest is a precursor to what is likely the beginning of end-of-wipe celebrations in Escape From Tarkov.
As the event progresses, players are encouraged to take advantage of the opportunity to access The Lab map for free and complete the Bad Feeling quest. By participating in these end-of-wipe events, players can earn valuable rewards and prepare for the upcoming wipe in Escape From Tarkov. With the event set to conclude on July 29, players must act quickly to complete the quest and secure the rewards offered by Jaeger. As the community eagerly anticipates the next wipe, events like these provide a glimpse into what players can expect in the days leading up to the reset.
