Once you have the journal, your job is to survive and escape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember, it&#8217;s important to survive after picking up the journal. If you don&#8217;t make it out alive, you&#8217;ll lose the journal and have to start over. So, be careful, check all the spawn locations, and get out as fast as you can. Some players even practice close-range movement and reaction timing in <a href=\"https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/escape-from-tarkov\/arena\/\">Tarkov Arena matches<\/a> before running dangerous Streets quests packed with PMCs and Scavs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you successfully deliver the journal, you\u2019ll earn some nice rewards, including experience points, cash, and medical supplies. Experienced players usually keep valuable <a href=\"https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/escape-from-tarkov\/items\/\">Escape from Tarkov items<\/a> organized before long quest sessions because stash management becomes important when farming multiple Therapist tasks. Completing this task will also boost your reputation with the Therapist, which can be helpful in the future.
