The Tour questline in Escape from Tarkov eventually sends you to a location many players overlook: the Secret Terragroup Facility, hidden deep within Streets of Tarkov. Even though this area is technically just a transit point to The Lab, getting there requires knowing the exact route and carrying a specific item. This guide walks you through everything—from where to enter, to how the transit works, to what you need for the hand-off into Labs.
What You Need Before You Go
Before you even think about running to the transit door, make sure you have:
Lab Access Keycard
You cannot enter the facility without this item. Players often find it during normal raids—Scav runs included—or source it from the Flea Market when available (though it tends to be expensive).
You only need one card to activate the transit.
Where the Secret Terragroup Facility Entry Is Located
The entry to the hidden facility is on Streets of Tarkov, right near the Kamchatska Arch, placing it toward the central portion of the map. It’s not marked, and the doorway blends into the environment, so most players run past it without realizing what it leads to.
Your main landmark: the tall red building next to the arch.
From this building, the route is simple but easy to miss if you haven’t seen it before.
Step-by-Step Route to the Transit
1. Start at the red building
Use the red building as your anchor. Face the open street leading ahead.
2. Walk straight forward
Move directly away from the building until you reach the next left turn.
3. Turn left into the narrow alley
This small passage is the key. It’s easy to overlook during a fight, so clear the area before committing.
4. Move straight and take the next right
You’ll enter a tighter corridor that leads to a worn-out metal door.
5. Find the small brown rusted door
This is the correct entry point. It doesn’t have markings, so many players assume it’s just another locked interior door.
6. Open the door and head downstairs
Go down the staircase and keep left as you enter the basement-level corridor.
Once you’re inside the marked transit zone, the game handles the rest.
How the Transit to Labs Works
Once you reach the basement:
- Stand near the designated transit area.
- Have your Lab Access Keycard in your inventory.
- After a short wait, the game will automatically trigger the transport sequence that moves you to The Lab.
You don’t need to extract afterward to progress the Tour objective—your task is simply to visit the three marked rooms inside Labs.
What to Expect Inside Labs for the Tour Quest
After the handoff:
- Move through the facility carefully—Labs is one of the most dangerous combat environments in the game.
- Locate and check all three required rooms tied to the quest.
- Extraction is not required for quest completion. Once the rooms are scouted, your objective updates.
Still, extracting safely is always the better outcome—especially if you’ve brought valuable gear.
