Here are the details of the recently ended 2023 Boss event quest in Escape from Tarkov, including the spawn times, locations, and more.

Just recently, Escape From Tarkov uploaded a news clipping that was fully in Russian. Thankfully, Twitter user @Axel__tv gave a rough translation for the news clipping:

Translation. All bosses spawn on Customs inbetween 13:00 and 17:00 , Soreline next to resort 17:00 to 21:00 , reserve 08:00 to 12:00. Interchange Mall 22:00 to 2:00. They also been seen on woods nightime. Bosses with their goons are looking for Rogues as they have some beef.

As soon as this tweet went live, two quests also went live in Escape From Tarkov: Tourists and Hustle. The quests are available from Prapor and Peacekeeper respectively.

Less than a week after the event went live, however, it would appear that it has already ended. According to LogicalSolutions, a well-known source of Escape From Tarkov information, the event is already over. They said that there have been “multiple reports” that “confirm bosses are no longer spawning and Goons are note in Factory.” If you were not able to do the Tourists and Hustle quests, then you are out of luck, as you will no longer be able to do them.

  • Things to remember about each boss:
    • Reshala's guards are a bigger threat than Reshala is, so take them down first
    • Glukhar, much like Reshala, has multiple guards with high-end equipment. Unlike Reshala, however, Glukhar is a big threat.
    • Killa has high-capacity weapons, a helmet that covers his entire head, and armor that protects a lot of vitals. Players must surprise him to take him down.
    • Shturman can detect players from a long distance and has two guards as well. Players must keep this in mind when facing him.
    • Shturman and his guards can easily heal any injuries that the player causes to them, so make sure not to give them time to recover.
    • Tagilla loves charging at the player using his sledgehammer. However, he still has guns, so keeping your distance is not enough to take him down.
