Players reported the appearance of a secret map hidden on the Shoreline titled The Labyrinth, hidden behind a recently-added locked door in the basement of the Resort.

The task line consists of three tasks to complete and then players will need to find the Knossos LLC Facility Key that players have reported finding as loot around the Shoreline. Lastly, the Labrys Keycard must also be found on Tagilla or through the Hot Zone quest from Ragman.

Escape from Tarkov Players Discover Hidden Labyrinth Map

Despite its punishing nature, The Labyrinth map has been a gift for players chasing a challenge, and possibly an even better reward than the gift PvP players received in Escape from Tarkov recently. The Labyrinth is a creepy bunker designed to catch players out through traps, and since these surprises do not appear on maps or guides, the community has been making detailed guides to help. Available for both PvP and PvE players, The Labyrinth holds up to four players, which means you may encounter a fight with others at some point.

Recently, Escape from Tarkov hosted a limited-time boss event that attracted a lot of criticism, mainly because PvE players missed out on the activity for no official reason. To make matters worse, the instance was a recurring issue, and players also wanted to see these random, short events last longer than seven hours. Luckily, the secret Labyrinth map has kept players talking for much longer.
