Dirty Blood Quest Overview

In the Dirty Blood quest, players need to enter “The Lab,” a highly secured and dangerous in-game location, to locate a blood sample and extract it safely. Completing these objectives can be tricky due to constant enemy spawns, including hostile player-controlled characters (PMC) zombies, that intensify the challenge.

Objectives Breakdown

1. Locate the Blood Sample: Find the blood sample in a specific room in The Lab.
2. Survive and Extract: Leave The Lab safely with the blood sample to finish the quest.

Step 1: Locate the Blood Sample in The Lab

To begin the Dirty Blood quest, players must enter The Lab and locate a hidden blood sample in a newly accessible area. Here’s how to find it:

1. Navigating to the Area: Head toward the Blue keycard room hallway, close to the staircase that leads to the upper and lower levels. From here, locate the door leading to the new area.
2. Activating the Door Switch: Inside the area, you’ll find a small room with a switch. Press this button to unlock the door that grants access to the room containing the blood sample.
3. Finding the Blood Sample: Walk down the hall until you encounter a dead scientist in a yellow hazmat suit. The blood sample is located under his left shoulder move your cursor to locate it and collect it.

Keep an eye out for the PMC zombies that spawn frequently. Moving quickly and quietly is key to reaching the sample without drawing too much attention.

Step 2: Survive and Extract Safely from The Lab

After collecting the blood sample, the next critical step is to survive and successfully extract from The Lab. Here are some strategies to improve your chances:

1. Check Extraction Points: Before initiating the quest, familiarize yourself with the extraction points. Choose the closest option to minimize your exposure to threats.
2. Use Buffs for Protection: Use an SJ6 injector to boost stamina, helping you sprint for longer. Additionally, taking a Zagustin can prevent blood loss, reducing the risk of damage over time if you encounter zombies.
3. Avoid Confrontations When Possible: Zombies in this quest spawn endlessly, so rather than engaging, prioritize reaching the extraction point. If you’re low on supplies, it’s safer to evade than engage.

Once you extract, hand over the blood sample to Jaeger to complete the quest.
