How to Start the Ventor Quest in 2026?
Step 1: Locate the Quest NPC
To begin your journey to unlock the Ventor Car, head to the main lobby of A Dusty Trip. You’ll find the quest NPC near the garage area.
Important Note: There’s some confusion in the community about the NPC’s name. Most sources refer to him as Mike, but the official Wiki lists him as Mark. Regardless of the name, you’ll find him standing in front of the garage near the quest board.
Step 2: Accept the Firework Quest
Interact with Mike/Mark to activate the New Year quest. He’ll explain that he needs 15 Fireworks for the New Year celebration, and in return, he’ll reward you with:
- The Ventor Car (permanent unlock)
- A special New Year Badge
Complete Firework Collection Guide (June 2026)
Understanding Firework Spawns
Fireworks are scattered throughout the desert map, and knowing where to look is crucial for efficiency:
Primary Locations:
- Firework Shops – Specialized buildings containing 4-5 Fireworks each
- Regular Buildings – Truck Shops, Churches, and other desert structures
- Spawn Pattern – Firework Shops typically appear every 1000 meters along the road
Optimal Farming Strategy
Based on my experience completing this quest multiple times, here’s the most efficient approach:
For Normal Backpack Users (4 trips needed):
- Empty your backpack completely before starting
- Focus exclusively on finding Firework Shops
- Collect all available Fireworks (max 10 per run)
- Return to lobby immediately and submit to Mike/Mark
- Repeat until you have all 15 Fireworks
For Upgraded Backpack Users (2 trips needed):
- Same strategy but you can carry more per run
- Potentially complete in just 2 runs with optimal routes
Pro Tips for Efficient Firework Collection
Route Planning:
- Start from spawn and systematically check every building
- Prioritize Firework Shops when spotted
- Don’t skip regular buildings – they often contain 1-2 Fireworks
Survival Strategies:
- Focus on one objective per run (either Fireworks or survival)
- Don’t get greedy trying to collect too many in one run
- Submit Fireworks after each successful run to save progress
Inventory Management:
- Max capacity is 10 Fireworks with normal backpack
- Plan your route to maximize collection before returning
- Remember: unsubmitted Fireworks are lost if you die!
