Ask traders how to leave Tarkov

You refused to dig dirt for Kerman, so he goes silent. The Fallen path now opens through your trader network — make the rounds and ask each one if they can get you out. Prapor is the trader who actually has an answer; the others are flavor dialogue. This is a free, raid-less step. Just click through.

From here, the Fallen route trades narrative weight for speed. You don't get the canon hero ending, you don't expose TerraGroup, but you also skip the 8-evidence grind, the Fence 4.0 farm, and the BTR questline. The catch is that Prapor's price is steep, especially in barter goods.
