how to trigger the hangover quest in tarkov

Hangover trigger

To trigger the Hangover quest in Escape from Tarkov, you need to finish A Bitter Victory first, then return to the BTR Driver and interact with him about the smuggler negotiations. The quest reward listed on the wiki is 60,000 EXP.

Requirements

• Complete A Bitter Victory first.

• Go back to the BTR Driver after that.

• The quest is tied to the BTR Driver and is shown as available at Lv. 0 on the tracker page.

What players are seeing

Recent forum posts suggest some players have had trouble getting the quest to appear or complete, especially after using transit instead of a normal extraction after the earlier quest. One discussion also says restarting the game may help in bugged cases, but some reports describe the issue as a soft lock.

Practical path

1. Finish A Bitter Victory.

2. Leave raid normally, then revisit the BTR Driver.

3. Check whether the new dialogue/quest prompt appears.

4. If it does not, some players report relaunching the game as a workaround.

Quick note

The most likely reason the quest is not triggering is that the previous quest was not fully completed in the expected way, or the game did not update the BTR quest state correctly.

TL;DR: Finish A Bitter Victory , then talk to the BTR Driver to pick up Hangover.
