Quests

Quests, both player-given and dynamically generated, are intended to be a large part of Escape from Tarkov.

Some require you to pick stuff up for certain traders, while others require you to kill other operators or mark vehicles and specific places. Quests are the fastest way of gaining EXP. Completing one will often reward you with experience points, trader reputation, money, valuable loot, rare containers, and unlock the purchase of new items.

When a trader has a quest available, they will have a green tick on their icon.

Quest items
Some items only spawn if the respective quest is active. These items fall in the quest items category and cannot be used, sold or discarded.
 * Quest items are guaranteed to spawn client-side, so each player in a raid with the same quest active can pick it up.
 * When picked up, quest items are transferred to the player's quest item inventory. If the player fails to extract with a quest item, they will lose it. To prevent losing quest items, it is strongly recommended to turn them in before starting another raid or transferring them to the quest item special stash in the "Quest items" tab of the "Tasks" tab if you do not want to continue the quest in the next raid (e.g. during Delivery from the Past).
 * While quest items are required to be found in raid as there is no other way to obtain them, the player does not have to avoid the Run Through status.

Operational Tasks
Operational tasks are random daily and weekly quests that are given to the player by various traders. They are typically simple quests, such as find and handover an item, or kill Scavs at a certain location. The rewards for these quests are largely randomized and can give a variety of items and EXP. If you do not want the task you have been given, you can pay the trader some roubles and take a reputation penalty for a new random task.

Daily
Daily operational tasks become available to players at level 5.

Rewards
''The following is approximate data based on observation. Actual rewards vary over time for individual players based on their history of completing operational tasks.'' Operational Tasks also provide +0.01 reputation with the respective trader.

List of Quests
1A Run Through is when you extract meeting both of the following conditions:
 * Earned less than 200 exp from looting and killing
 * Player has been in the raid for less than 7 minutes.

Weekly
Weekly operational tasks are also available to players at level 15. The tasks are a lot more difficult but the rewards are also vastly higher.
