Event: Halloween 2026 · 29 October 2026

Skier — briefing

While Therapist and her clever little lot are still pissing about, checking things and scratching their heads, I've already sorted the problem. Got my hands on a proper vaccine, not some homebrew rubbish. The people who supplied it know their stuff. I've been working with 'em for years. They reckon it was developed during the last outbreak, but it never made it to Tarkov back then. Guess it was waiting for me! Right, enough jawing. Pick up a batch from the treatment facilities at Lighthouse and stash it in the two-storey dorms on Customs. Someone's waiting for it there. And don't you bloody lose that shipment, or I'll wring your neck.

Objectives

• Locate and obtain the vaccine shipment at the water treatment plant on Lighthouse
• Stash the vaccine shipment in room 105 of the two-story dorm on Customs

Tactical notes

• WHERE TO GO: Lighthouse — the shipment is at the water treatment plant, Building 3, second floor. Then Customs — stash it in room 105 of the two-story dorm; you need the Dorm room 105 key.
• FORK: the vaccine shipment either gets stashed for Skier (Unexpected Help) or handed to Therapist (Initial Examination). Doing one fails the other.
• A Halloween 2026 event task: available while the event lasts.

On completion

Skier: My lads have already picked up the goods. Lovely stuff! Now the money'll come rolling in! What, you thought I was doing this out of the goodness of my heart, did ya?
