Yo, Raiders! Let's talk about one of those classic Tarkov dilemmas that'll make you sweat harder than a Scav spotting your slick kit – the Supply Plans quest. Modern shooters might give you fancy dialogue wheels, but Escape From Tarkov? It hits different. Your choices here? They stick, like that cheap adhesive you found in a duffle bag. Therapist needs a super-secure folder, but guess what? Skier's got his grubby mitts out too. Pick a side, face the music... and maybe score some sweet loot. 🧠💥

Unlocking The Double-Cross Opportunity

First things first, you ain't getting this spicy mission handed to you fresh off the boat. You gotta hit Level 13 and have already wrapped up the Pharmacist quest for our friendly neighborhood medical researcher, the Therapist. She's cataloging all the messed-up medical experiments happening around Tarkov (yikes!), and Secure Folder 0052 is her next target. Seems straightforward, right? Plot twist alert! The second you accept her task, another objective pops up like an unwelcome Tagilla: 'Kind of Sabotage'. This sneaky option whispers, "Psst... maybe give that folder to Skier instead?" 💸

Talk about awkward! Hand it to Therapist? Skier's gonna be salty. Hook Skier up? Therapist's gonna side-eye you forever. Choosing Skier branches you into a whole different questline, so think hard, soldier! Loyalty pays... but maybe betrayal pays better?

Finding That Sneaky Secure Folder (Woods Map Guide)

Alright, assuming you're sticking with Therapist (or just wanna know where the shiny thing is!), you're heading to Woods. Beautiful scenery, deadly sightlines. The folder's chilling in a sawmill cabin up north. Specifically, it's in the north end of the south-central village, right by the head of a lake. Don't get lost now – there are three nearly identical rectangular cabins huddled together. You want the furthest one on the LEFT, easy to spot 'cause it's got some bright blue outhouses chilling next to it. Seriously, those things are like neon signs in the gloom.

Get inside quick. The prize? Secure Folder 0052 is tucked away under the folding bed. Grab it, but don't just sprint for extract! This area's often got decent loot lying around – make that risky trip worth every bullet dodged. Check those toolboxes, maybe peek in the other cabins (carefully!).

The Payoff (& The Pain): Reputation Roulette

You got the folder, you survived the extract... now comes the real tension. Who gets it? Whichever boss you snub is gonna hold a grudge. Reputation loss is guaranteed for the one you disappoint. That ain't just a number, homie – it affects prices, unlocks, and future quests. Choose wisely!

If you deliver that folder to Therapist like a good little PMC, here's what she'll slide your way:

  • +7,500 EXP (Gotta get those levels!)

  • +0.04 Therapist Rep (She likes you a bit more now)

  • -0.04 Skier Rep (Oof... he's definitely not inviting you for vodka)

  • 75,000 - 86,250 Roubles (💰💰💰 Cash rules everything around Tarkov! Amount depends on your Intelligence Center Level - upgrade that hideout!)

  • 1 CMS Surgical Kit (💉 A literal lifesaver for fixing those blacked limbs)

Choice Reputation Gain Reputation Loss Key Reward
Give to Therapist +0.04 Therapist -0.04 Skier Roubles, CMS Kit, EXP
Give to Skier +0.04 Skier -0.04 Therapist Different Questline, EXP, ?

So, what's it gonna be? The reliable medical support and cash from Therapist, or rolling the dice with Skier's shadier path? That's the Tarkov life. No easy answers, just hard choices and harder consequences. Choose your poison, Raiders, and may your extracts be clean! ✌️
