The hardcore and hyper-realistic first-person shooter game, Escape From Tarkov, is here to surprise fans with yet another pre-wipe event. A recently introduced quest requires PMC operatives to eliminate 20 other PMCs under the influence of the Obdolbos stimulant.
The event is set in the backdrop of Tarkov and involves the Obdolbos stimulant. The stimulant is said to have unique effects, including making PMC operatives dodge bullets ‘Neo style’ – a reference to the bullet-dodging character Neo from the Matrix franchise.
However, there’s a catch. The stimulant takes a toll on the operative’s health. In the event description, a rumor circulates about a PMC operative who ran around the block like a lunatic, dodging bullets, but eventually met his demise after tripping over a rock, revealing the double-edged nature of this new stimulant. So, Id advise you to be careful with it.
Quest Details
The event includes a quest named “Cocktail Tasting” which is given by Skier, an in-game character known for his illicit activities and contacts. The quest requires players to eliminate 20 PMC operatives under the influence of the Obdolbos stimulant.

In true Tarkov style, the quest sets the stage for intense combat situations as operatives not only have to fend off other PMCs but also manage the effects of the stimulant, creating a whole new layer of complexity and challenge to the game.
