Escape from Tarkov kicked up the intensity by introducing Marathon mode, which challenges you to travel between maps and complete quests without dying for exclusive rewards. The Marathon event will end once patch 0.15.2 launches, so there’s still time to complete one of the earliest quests: Beneath the Streets.
Beneath the Streets requires you to go to Ground Zero, Streets of Tarkov, and Labs—all in one Marathon raid. Ground Zero, Streets of Tarkov, and Labs are all exceptionally tricky maps to navigate and survive in Escape from Tarkov, but we’ve devised a plan of action to get you through it.
How to complete Beneath the Streets in Escape from Tarkov
Below are the objectives for Beneath the Streets:
- Locate the passage leading to The Lab on Streets of Tarkov
- Use the transit from Streets of Tarkov to The Lab
- Scout the server room in The Lab
- Scout the hazard dome in The Lab
- Scout the control room in The Lab
- Locate the passage leading to Streets of Tarkov in The Lab
Note: Before anything else, you’ll need to switch Escape from Tarkov to Marathon mode otherwise this quest won’t be accessible.
It would be helpful to stock up on ammo, food, and water since it’s unlikely you’ll find any during the raid. Also make sure you have the Labs Access Keycard, as you won’t be able to progress without it.
All raids require you to start in Ground Zero, and the transit won’t unlock for seven minutes, so you’ll need to survive for at least this length of time. The entrance to The Lab is located in front of the Klimova 16A building, near the Cosmonaut painting. You can find it through a door under a green archway opposite the museum.
The Labs Access Keycard is a single-use item, so use it wisely. Make sure you’re prepared before entering The Labs as there’s no do-overs.
Scouting the Hazard Dome
Once inside The Lab, exit the elevator and walk straight, weaving through any obstacles. You’ll find the Hazard Dome right in front of your face (you can’t miss it) and simply go inside to mark off that objective. You’ll hear a ‘ding’ sound once the Hazard Dome has been scouted.
Scouting the Server Room
After exiting the Hazard Dome, you’ll find the Server Room to the Northeast, so just duck under the tunnel to your right, take a left, and then follow it straight down. To get to the Server Room, just follow the set of stairs up and go straight through the door dead ahead. Once you’re far enough inside, you’ll hear a second ‘ding,’ and the game will mark off the objective.
Scouting the Control Room
Finally, to find the Control Room, just go back the way you came and take a right past the giant number ‘2’ on the wall. Take another right, and you’ll see a giant container with red trimmings, which is the warehouse area. Go inside the container, and you’ll hear a third ‘ding’ to signal that you’ve successfully found the Control Room.
After scouting these areas, you’ll need to find the passage back to the Streets of Tarkov, which can be located near the giant orange dome, adjacent to an office with a billiard table inside.
Each location will be packed with soldiers packing heat, so be warned that it’s in your best interest to hit these spots fast. Upon successful completion of Beneath the Streets, you will receive the following rewards:
- 66,700 EXP
- +0.03 Therapist reputation
- 2x Ophthalmoscope
- 1x Injector Case
- 1x Medicine Case
- 240,000 Roubles
It might seem strenuous, but the rewards are worth the hassle, especially if you’re looking to ease into Marathon mode.
