1Arrive at the entrance pathway to the port Terminal
Bring a valid access item to the intercom on the watchtower and run it through the keycard reader; for the Survivor ending, press the intercom call button instead, and only between 21:00 and 06:00. A recognised item is accepted and the voice on the intercom sends you on to the gate. Show up without one, or outside those hours, and the guard turns you away.

Once you are cleared to come closer, take the left-hand road towards the transit area; your weapon is lowered for you as you reach it. On the Savior route you cannot transit unless Secure container Alpha-1 with TerraGroup evidence is in your task inventory. The port garrison will kill you for pushing past the first anti-tank barrier without presenting an access item, for stepping off the road around the transit area, or for drawing a weapon or taking one back in hand after it has been lowered. Note that dying with the Alpha-1 container simply gets you a replacement by in-game mail; Lightkeeper sells the RFID keycard with unknown name once per raid for 1x TerraGroup "Blue Folders" materials, which needs a free special slot; and Prapor sells his letter for the port checkpoint twice per trader reset at 5,000,000 Roubles.

The check itself is just a cutscene of your character entering the Terminal area.
4Locate the armory with your confiscated equipment
Work your way to the armory building and go inside to reclaim your confiscated gear, picking up the Armory key somewhere along the route. After you have your equipment and leave the armory by the west side, a Black Division squad moves in on the building from the southwest, and you have to fight them off before the next objective opens.

The Black Division keycard is inside the seaport Terminal building (MS), west of the armory. Clear the Black Division squad holding the interior first, then take the card from the Weapon box (5x2) sitting on a tipped-over ATM.

Reaching the loading zone means going through the admin building. Scavs will contest the approach and a Black Division team is posted at the entrance; with all of them down, step inside and swipe the Black Division keycard at the scanner beside the door. The hallway immediately past it holds scattered provisions and medical items, and Scavs spawning further on will try to push into it while you are inside.

A metal gate stands in the way. Blow it open with an SZ-1 explosive charge found nearby, force it with Elite level Strength, or push it open alongside another player. Black Division soldiers hold the ground around the various SZ-1 spawns, so it is worth killing them before you go looking for a charge.

No. 7 - The explosive on the corner of a trailer. 8Drain the water in the pumping station
The pumping station needs power before it will drain, which means finding and repairing between one and five electrical panels dotted around Terminal. The count depends on the raid: solo players always get a single panel, either number 9 or number 10, while a raid of two to five players needs at least one and as many as five, spread across all the panel locations. You can repair a panel with bare hands, but the odds are poor and a failed attempt damages your arms. Two Toolsets sit at fixed spots on Terminal and spawn every raid.

Once the water is gone, the key is in a safe inside the pumping station. From there you need to reach the pier for the Zubr Boat extraction, and three routes lead to the door. The eastern container loading bay (green) sidesteps the Scav Boss that can spawn, but means backtracking and a longer walk. The central bay (blue) is more direct but may pit you against that Scav Boss plus a Black Division team nearby. The western bay (purple), hugging the water, can also avoid the Scav Boss but risks a long-range fight with a Black Division squad at the far end. Every route has Black Division squads to get through before the pier door.

Possible paths to Pier door. 10Escape from Tarkov
Opening the pier door gives everyone in the raid three minutes to reach the Zubr Boat extraction at the end of the pier, after which it closes regardless of how much raid time is left. A last Black Division team stands between you and the boat. The extraction timer runs alongside that three minutes, and when it expires anyone inside the zone escapes and the cinematic for your chosen ending plays. Completing the raid earns you one of the game's endings; whether you die or extract, your character reverts to the state it was in before Terminal, apart from the access item you spent.
