Quest Guide: A Balanced Harvest

Objective list

• In one round
• Go to the Research & Administration building
• Locate Lab 1 on the upper floor above the reception
• Search for any traces of the agricultural research project

What to bring

• A reliable mid-range primary and a sidearm or close-range backup; most quest deaths happen while rotating, not while looting.
• A light-value raid kit. 'In one round' objectives punish greed, so bring enough to survive, not enough to cry over.
• Stamina-friendly utility like smoke or a distraction item, because recon steps usually force you into exposed rooftops, offices, or dead-end rooms.
• Enough meds and shields to survive two rotations; multi-location quests punish players who arrive at the final step with no resources left.

How to run it

Because the tracker says this must be done in one round, treat the named objective areas as a route: get in, clear the interaction, confirm the update, then rotate immediately. You are not trying to win the whole lobby; you are trying to leave with the quest done.

1. Step 1: Go to the Research & Administration building

   Make this your opening waypoint. Move quickly, clear only what blocks the path, and do not burn utility before you reach the named area.

2. Step 2: Locate Lab 1 on the upper floor above the reception

   Make this your opening waypoint. Move quickly, clear only what blocks the path, and do not burn utility before you reach the named area.

3. Step 3: Search for any traces of the agricultural research project

   Once you are at the point of interest, clear the nearest angle first, then interact. Most misses on this step happen because players sprint past the actual prompt or loot through the room too early.

Where players usually throw this quest

• Starting the raid without a simple, clockwork route. One-round quests fall apart when you improvise after the first gunshot.
• Running past the actual interaction prompt. Slow down for five seconds, clear the room, and let the tracker update before leaving.
• Taking a fight on the way out just because you hear it. Quest raids are won by discipline, not by K/D.

Miswired note

Use the named area as your anchor, then plan your extract before you touch the objective. That matters more than another backpack worth of salvage on Dam Battlegrounds.
