Missions

Quest Mode is one of the game modes in Barotrauma. It is the only mode available in singleplayer, and one of two playable modes in multiplayer.

In this mode, the crew must work together to complete a task, which can range from killing a deadly creature to finding a long lost artifact and reaching a destination marked as "End" on the map.

The player is required to retrieve either a Skyholder or Thermal Artifact from an Alien Ruin and bring it to the required end point. This can notably cause hassle for players - both in the form of the Fractal Guardians that can occasionally be found guarding the ruins, and the dangerous Thermal and Skyholder artifacts themselves. On top of that, the artifact can uncommonly be a Moloch instead of an artifact, which the player is then required to kill to get their reward.

The player is sent to kill an aggressive creature that has been terrorizing submarines, either a Moloch or a Tiger Thresher. After doing so, the player must reach the end point to receive their reward. Aside from the inherent danger in fighting these creatures, the quest is rather straightforward.

The player is tasked with delivering a single crate of Veronaceps Calyx Eggs (also known as Husk Eggs) to the end point of the map. Despite the concept of Husk eggs, this quest is not actually dangerous at all, as the only way to become infected by the Husk eggs are to put them into a syringe and inject it into yourself.

A small cargo submarine, carrying dangerous chemicals (presumably Veronaceps Calyx eggs) went missing two months ago. While initially assumed lost, the vehicle's emergency beacon was recently activated, and the player is sent to investigate. Upon arrival, it is revealed that the submarine has been infested with a parasite and turned into a Carrier, which must then be killed.

An Endworm has appeared in the nearby waters, causing all submarine travel in the area to be cancelled. The player is asked to kill the destructive foe, and is promised a hefty reward of 10,000 credits for deed. Aside from the inherent cataclysm that always results from facing an Endworm, the quest is rather straightforward.

Praise the Honkmother

The most terrifiying quest in all of Barotrauma. Do not accept it if you value your life greatly.
