USING THIS REFERENCE
Check your task requirements before choosing a destination in Stillwater. The trader interface and Town Map give you access to tasks, location hints, and progress toward objectives.
Open TRADERS → Scrapper → TASKS in the lobby. During a raid, press M to open the map, then T if the task list is hidden; click a task to read its requirements. Crane’s Logs, Cold Chain, and Ward C carry Hospital labels, while four other listed tasks say Anywhere. Ward C includes an eight-crawler kill objective. Completing Doc’s Patient Zero unlocks Nightmare difficulty.
Read the requirements before setting out so you know what to do when you arrive. For map symbols and navigation details, use the Stillwater map guide.
Hospital points you toward the hospital area; Anywhere means the list does not name a specific landmark. These labels help you plan where to go, while the task’s requirements tell you what to do.
Use the task directory to check location labels, Ward C’s kill objective, and Patient Zero’s progression unlock. See Ward C’s objective and task unlock requirements below for how to interpret them.
Ward C includes Kill crawlers, an objective requiring 8 crawler kills. Reaching 8/8 completes that objective. Check Ward C’s remaining requirements before treating the entire task as complete.
Ward C carries a Hospital label, but that label alone does not mean all eight kills must happen inside the hospital. Follow the objective text when deciding where to work on it.
For advice on managing noise and handling pursuit while working on combat objectives, see the stealth and infected guide.
Tasks can unlock shop offers and difficulty options. Read the restriction on the specific offer you want:
A generic TASK label does not identify which named task unlocks that offer. Check the offer’s requirements before choosing a task to pursue. The Scrapper shop guide covers buying gear and trader progression; key and keycard offers lists their individual purchase conditions.
Complete Doc’s Patient Zero task to unlock Nightmare difficulty. If Nightmare is your goal, this is the task prerequisite to work toward. For the difficulty differences and deployment options, see HUSH raid settings.
Stillwater is under quarantine. Trader jobs and lost tapes reveal what the MX-11 trial did to the town, giving tasks a role in uncovering its backstory as well as unlocking progression.
The story’s lost tapes are distinct from the Tape item found while looting: that item is a roll of adhesive tape.
