Quest text from Jaeger

So, any progress on creating a cure for the infection? I hope Therapist is truly engaged in this and not just looking for a good buyer for this diary.

We still can't cure Tarkov once and for all, so let's at least clean it up while we can. I've heard that the easiest way to kill these creatures is to shoot them in the head. In that sense, it's still the same as with humans. I'd take something more powerful to make sure their faces get shredded for sure. Right, take a shotgun with you!

Alright, time for work. Get in the fight and help this city. Oh, and grab some of my honey tea to help your body fight off the sickness.
