If you want to progress deeper into the various mechanics of Escape From Tarkov, like unlocking the ability to purchase additional equipment, you must tackle quests for traders such as Peacekeeper. Here is what it takes to complete Samples in Escape From Tarkov.
How to Complete the Samples Quest in Escape From Tarkov
First and foremost, know that the Samples side quest in Escape From Tarkov will likely take a bit of time. It’s an absolute grind of a fetch-quest that requires you to track down several stimulant injectors in raids (you cannot buy them from the market) from across the various maps. It’s tough to track down a single injector, let alone seven of them, which is your goal here.
To complete Samples, you must find the following in raid items:
- M.U.L.E Stimulant Injector
- Odolbos Cocktail Injector
- Meldonin Stimulant Injector
- AHF1-M Stimulant Injector
- P22 Stimulant Injector
- L1 Norepinephrine Stimulant Injector
- 3-(b-TG) Stimulant Injector
Once you collect all seven stimulant injectors, you must then hand them over to Peacekeeper via the quest window. And again, you must find each of these medical items in a raid, so you cannot trade or purchase them outside of a raid, or it won’t count!
Where to Find Stimulant Injectors in Escape From Tarkov
Unfortunately, as mentioned, tracking down a single injector is like looking for a needle in an abandoned wasteland with scavengers shooting fully automatic AKs at you relentlessly. In fact, that’s precisely how this hunt to complete Samples in Escape From Tarkov will turn out for most of you.
But to give you a head start, I recommend searching the following zones, some of which do require keycards, which is a whole other grind altogether!
- Labs
- Lighthouse
- Shoreline – Health Resort
More often than not, you’ll find all seven of the stimulant injectors in The Lab. To access Labs, you must find a TerraGroup Labs Access Card, which you can purchase from Therapist LL4 or find as loot from the game’s various boss enemies.
Samples Quest Rewards in Escape From Tarkov
For completing Samples, you’ll earn the following quest rewards:
- 15,300 EXP
- Peacekeeper Rep +0.04
- 4,000 US Dollars
- 1x Ammunition Case
- 1x DS Arms SA-58 7.62×51 Assault Rifle
In addition to these rewards, you’ll also unlock the ability to purchase the Ops-Core FAST Multi-hit Ballistic Face Shield and Team Wendy EXFIL Ballistic Helmet from Peacekeeper LL4!
While you’re looking for injectors, keep an eye out for a Military Flash Drive. You’ll need a few for quests and crafting purposes!
