Game Context

Escape from Tarkov (EFT) is a hardcore tactical FPS with RPG elements. Players complete quests from traders to unlock gear, gain reputation, and progress toward the Kappa container (ultimate goal).

EFT-Tracker helps players track quest progress and visualize quest dependencies.

Quest System

Quest Status

type QuestStatus = "locked" | "available" | "completed";

• locked - Prerequisites not met (level or quest requirements)
• available - Can be started (all prerequisites met)
• completed - Already finished

Quest Types

type QuestType =
  | "standard" // Regular trader quests
  | "pvp_zone" // PVP Zone quests (Arena)
  | "reputation" // Fence reputation repair
  | "lightkeeper" // Lightkeeper questline
  | "faction_bear" // BEAR-only quests
  | "faction_usec" // USEC-only quests
  | "story" // Main story quests (1.0)
  | "prestige"; // Prestige quests (require The Collector)

Quest Dependencies

Quests can have prerequisites with different status requirements:

type RequirementStatusType = "complete" | "active" | "failed";

// Quest A requires Quest B to be completed
{ requiredQuest: questB, requirementStatus: ["complete"] }

// Quest A requires Quest B to be active OR completed
{ requiredQuest: questB, requirementStatus: ["active", "complete"] }

Traders

Kappa Container

The Kappa Secure Container is the ultimate progression goal:

• Requires completing all "Kappa required" quests
• Quest: "The Collector" unlocks Kappa
• kappaRequired: boolean flag on quests indicates if needed for Kappa

Kappa Progress Tracking

// Filter for Kappa-required quests only
const kappaQuests = quests.filter((q) => q.kappaRequired);

// Calculate Kappa progress
const completed = kappaQuests.filter((q) => q.computedStatus === "completed");
const progress = (completed.length / kappaQuests.length) * 100;

Data Structures

Quest Interface

interface Quest {
  id: string;
  title: string;
  wikiLink: string | null;
  levelRequired: number;
  kappaRequired: boolean;
  questType: QuestType;
  factionName: string | null; // "BEAR" | "USEC" | null
  traderId: string;
  trader: Trader;
  objectives: Objective[];
  dependsOn: QuestDependency[];
  dependedOnBy: QuestDependent[];
}

Quest with Progress

interface QuestWithProgress extends Quest {
  progress: QuestProgress | null;
  computedStatus: QuestStatus; // Calculated based on dependencies
}

tarkov.dev API

The app syncs quest data from tarkov.dev GraphQL API.

Key Endpoints

query {
  tasks {
    id
    name
    wikiLink
    minPlayerLevel
    kappaRequired
    taskRequirements {
      task {
        id
      }
      status
    }
    trader {
      id
      name
    }
  }
}

Data Sync

Quest data is periodically synced and stored in the database. The sync process:

1. Fetches all tasks from tarkov.dev
2. Maps API structure to internal Quest model
3. Updates database with new/​changed quests
4. Preserves user progress associations

Quest Tree Visualization

The quest tree uses ReactFlow to visualize dependencies:

• Nodes = Quests (colored by status)
• Edges = Dependencies (arrows show requirement direction)
• Layout = Hierarchical (dagre algorithm)

Node Colors

const statusColors = {
  locked: "gray",
  available: "cyan",
  completed: "green",
};

Focus Mode

Double-click a quest to enter Focus Mode:

• Shows only the selected quest and its dependency chain
• Filters out unrelated quests
• ESC exits focus mode

Common Operations

Mark Quest Complete

await updateQuestProgress({
  questId: quest.id,
  status: "completed",
  completedAt: new Date(),
});

Get Next Available Quests

const nextQuests = quests.filter(
  (q) => q.computedStatus === "available" && q.levelRequired <= playerLevel
);

Calculate Dependency Chain

function getDependencyChain(quest: Quest): Quest[] {
  const chain: Quest[] = [quest];
  for (const dep of quest.dependsOn) {
    chain.push(...getDependencyChain(dep.requiredQuest));
  }
  return chain;
}

Wipe Cycles

EFT has periodic wipes that reset all player progress. The tracker supports:

• Resetting all quest progress for new wipe
• Preserving historical progress (optional)
• Quick-start options for returning players
