This leaves you vulnerable and wastes time, but it’s crucial to know that you can perform other actions while looting . To loot a container (dead body, backpack, crate, med bag, sports bag, etc.), you click, the inventory interface opens, and then you must wait as your character inspects the container’s contents, revealing each item one by one. If there's only one item, looting is swift. But if there are multiple items, it can drag on for several seconds . It is vital to know —and exploit—the fact that, simultaneously while your character inspects the container, you can perform other actions: Heal yourself Perform surgery Refill magazines with ammo Eat/Drink Reload your weapon This way, you optimize your time by handling these crucial tasks upfront. Once you finish looting, you’ll be combat-ready and have saved a ton of time. TIP: With the Attention skill maxed out, you have a 50% chance of revealing a container’s contents instantly. (But maxing out your skills takes a lot of time!) More Details While you wait for your character to finish inspecting the container you opened, you cannot right-click an item to open its menu and select an option—but you can double-click an item to use it. This means you can double-click a bottle of water to drink it or a food item to eat it. Likewise, you can double-click a medkit, a bandage, a tourniquet, or a splint to heal yourself , stop bleeding, or treat a fracture. In addition to double-clicking, you can click and hold the left mouse button to drag an object. For example, you can move items to organize your inventory or make room for what you’ll find in the container. Similarly, you can grab a stack of ammo and drag it onto an empty magazine to refill it simultaneously. And so on. Other Actions You Can Perform Simultaneously This isn’t strictly related to looting, but remember: there are other actions you can do simultaneously. It’s important to experiment and get comfortable with all these mechanics—they’ll save you time and let you get back to your mission or the fight. While refilling an empty magazine with ammo: You can also reload your weapon by right-clicking on the weapon and selecting “reload” or by right-clicking on another magazine (not the one you’re loading) and choosing “install.” While reloading your weapon: You can open your inventory and start other actions, such as refilling an empty magazine with ammo, eating, or drinking. While eating or drinking: You can open your inventory and move items around to organize them. Instant Weapon Reload It’s also very useful to know that under certain circumstances you can reload your weapon instantly: If you’re eating, drinking, healing any negative effect (including performing surgery with a surgical kit) : Right-click your weapon and choose “reload” or right-click a magazine and choose “install”—and the reload will be instantaneous and animation-free. If you open your inventory and right-click your weapon and choose “reload” (or right-click a magazine and choose “install”) while holding another weapon (secondary weapon, pistol, or melee weapon). The same applies if you’re holding your primary weapon and perform “reload” on your secondary weapon or sidearm, or “install” on their respective magazines—they’ll reload instantly. This trick can be a lifesaver during a hectic firefight when you’re running out of ammo. However, it requires you to keep a cool head and remember the trick on the fly, and a bit of practice. You need to be able to stop in a safe spot, change the weapon you're holding, open your inventory, right-click, and select the option, so it really depends on the situation and your speed.

In either case, you’ll need to approach and loot them. First, remember that looting bodies is optional . Only loot if it’s relatively safe (for example, avoid looting bodies in open fields where you’re exposed to multiple lines of sight), and only after checking that there are no other enemies nearby. You can never be completely sure there are no threats around, so if it feels too risky, it’s better to move on . It’s far better to miss out on loot than to die and lose everything you already have. There’s also the infamous “YOLO Technique ”, where you rush to loot without checking anything, grab what you can as quickly as possible, and run. Sometimes it works out, but don’t complain if it doesn’t, and you end up with a hole in your head! If you decide to loot a body, be quick and avoid wasting time arranging items perfectly in your bag. Take the essentials and leave the rest if you’re out of space or becoming too heavy. Greed can be deadlier than a squad of angry Tagillas. Always remember that danger could be just around the corner and that the sound of gunfire will likely attract other AI or players who will ambush you if you relax too much after eliminating an enemy. Use hotkeys to quickly transfer items to your inventory instead of dragging each item manually, which wastes valuable time. CTRL + Left Click moves an item from an external container to your inventory. ALT + Left Click equips a weapon or wearable item (rig, backpack, helmet, etc.) if the slot is available. DELETE discards an item, dropping it on the ground (read the Keybinds Guide for tips on rebinding this command to a more accessible key, as you'll use it a lot and timing is critical). IMPORTANT: When auto-moving items to your inventory using CTRL + Left Click, be mindful of where they end up. Some items go directly into your backpack, while others—such as ammo, grenades, and magazines—go into your rig. Remember to always leave at least enough space for the magazine in your weapon , or you will drop it when reloading (take into account your side arm magazine too if you have one equipped, and if you have extra mags for it with you).

I AM NEW TO TARKOV! Welcome to Tarkov! If you're here, it's because you think you could use a bit of help . I totally get it—I've been in your shoes myself. Unfortunately, back then, The Tarkov Central wasn’t around , so I had to figure things out on my own! To give you a helping hand, I decided not to create just another guide. Instead, I’ve prepared something closer to a tutorial, designed to take new players through a gradual learning process. This approach allows you to start playing (almost) immediately and achieve solid results in the shortest time possible, armed with a basic understanding of Escape from Tarkov. You can then dive deeper through articles, deep dives, and guides available here on TTC . I'm not claiming this is the only or the best way to learn EFT , nor that I know everything about this complex game, but in my experience, I believe this tutorial offers a solid approach to get started without unneeded frustration. The tutorial follows the steps I took to learn EFT myself, refined and adapted with the knowledge I’ve gathered over time. I always try to double-check the information I provide. If you notice any errors or omissions, please let me know right away so I can make corrections as soon as possible. Important Note: This is the first iteration of the tutorial and guide I envisioned. I’ll continue refining it and adding new sections over time. Next: A Beginner Guide to EFT comments debug Comments Write a comment Write a comment Condividi i tuoi pensieri Scrivi il primo commento.

This feature prevents players from entering maps unequipped, which would otherwise carry no risk and no reward for other players killing them (The only and true risk-free option is to play as a SCAV instead of your PMC). However, you can also enable “Tagged and Cursed” manually in the Practice Mode settings. Raiding in Practice Mode with Tagged and Cursed enabled in a small map like Factory is a fantastic way to improve your aim against multiple targets and to practice combat under pressure. If you don’t eliminate AI enemies quickly, you’ll get overwhelmed. Training to survive under pressure is crucial in EFT, as it will happen frequently in raids, and it’s easy to make mistakes in tense situations. TIP : Many EFT players practice in Factory with Tagged and Cursed mode on, setting the AI quantity to “horde” and the difficulty to “easy” to have plenty of targets without getting killed too quickly. TIP 2: Equipping gear in raid will remove the state (unless it's an offline raid, and you enabled the "Tagged and cursed" status manually).

In order to know what to loot, you can set the Auto Add to Wishlist option to “Hideout zone upgrade items” in the “Gameplay” settings, which highlights (in blue) items you need for hideout upgrades (click this link to know more about the Wishlist feature ). Or, you can simply pick up whatever you find without getting too distracted. Early on in your journey, you’ll need a bit of everything .

Escape from Tarkov offers a unique experience with character movements. Through great animations, inertia and sound design, you can feel the weight of your character and weapon, while enjoying a wide range of movement options. To lean the basics about movement, study the Movement section on this EFT Wiki page: How to Play Guide for Escape from Tarkov Here are some tips about Movement: When you sprint you always reach the maximum speed, no matter how heavy you are. What changes is the time you need to reach the maximum speed and the amount of stamina consumed while sprinting. By default, the Q and E keys let you lean left and right, respectively but I strongly suggest changing them - check the Keybinds Guide i prepared to know how and why. Circle strafing: it's a technique that allows players to reduce the impact of inertia on strafing. In other games, when players are in combat they change strafing direction to dodge bullets. In EFT, instead of just pressing A and then D (or vice versa) to change the strafing direction, when in combat or when peeking an angle, it's advisable to press W or S before pressing the key to go in the opposite direction. So if I am strafing left with A and I want to go right to dodge bullets or to go back to cover behind an angle, instead of pressing D immediately, I press W or S and then D. This way the impact of inertia on my direction change is much lower. The two above tips can be combined to maximize the effect when peeking a corner. And in this other video another move is added, the quick lean tecnique - How to quick lean in Tarkov (peek like no generals) For a comprehensive overview of advanced movement techniques to maximize combat success in Escape From Tarkov, I recommend checking out an interesting and useful YouTube video by streamer DesmondPilak : The Ultimate Beginner Movement Guide for Escape From Tarkov . Being a year old, it includes an outdated section on right-peeking and left-peeking (as shoulder transitions hadn’t been implemented at the time), but it remains highly relevant and valuable. One of the most important thing shown is the freelook peek , when he runs past the door and uses freelook to look inside an spot potential enemies. UPDATE: I found another great video explaining advanced movements and providing additional tips by Tarkov Sherpa, streamer and content creator JonnyBooSock : Advanced Tarkov PVP Mechanics - Escape From Tarkov Guide . This video is also a bit old, so it contains one outdated piece of information in the section about "Building Momentum." It suggests running against a wall to gain momentum, but that's no longer possible. BSG patched this exploit—now, if you run against a wall, your character will stop. Note: It’s recommended to disable automatic vaulting in the game settings , as it increases resource consumption. It’s best to set it to a key you press only when you want to vault. For example, I’ve set it to the spacebar—holding it activates vaulting, while tapping it lets me jump. Check the Keybinds Guide for the full explanation on how to set it properly.

This is true for all FPS games, but especially in EFT, where the maps are large and complex, and you can’t predict or monitor every angle from which you might be attacked. It’s crucial to listen closely to the noises around you and, at the same time, to make as little noise as possible . This helps avoid detection by enemies but also allows you to better hear the sounds of approaching foes. To this end, it’s also essential to have high-quality headphones—both in the game (headsets equipped on your character) and as a physical gaming accessory. Check this video by Gigabeef about EFT sounds and which are the best in-game headsets . You don't need the volume turned up too high! While some sounds, like the footsteps of players or AI, can be faint and barely noticeable, setting the volume too high can backfire . Loud sounds from your own movements or gunfire can deafen you , making it harder to detect quieter sounds (and potentially damaging your hearing). Finding the right balance is key. If you’re having trouble distinguishing sounds, rather than increasing the volume, consider investing in better-quality headphones . And with this I mean both the in game ones, and the in real life ones you use for gaming. For the real ones, in-ear monitors (IEMs) can also offer great performance at a lower cost than over-ear headphones. Note: Unfortunately, EFT’s audio can sometimes be buggy , so if you didn’t hear an enemy, it may not be due to your headset or a lack of attention. You’ll need to learn which situations (and specific areas on the maps) might cause audio glitches, where the game’s sound isn’t always reliable. TIP: to better understand the direction a sound is coming from it's often useful to rotate your head (using freelook) or whole character. By listening on how the sound moves among the left and right hear, you will be able to understand better, for example, if it's behind or in front of you.

Besides what you’ll find on the bodies of enemies you’ve defeated, each map has scattered loot that you’ll find on the ground, placed on furniture and surfaces, and inside containers you’ll need to open to access. Initially, you may not find much loot around. This is because, in addition to not always being easy to spot (especially if you don’t know what it looks like), loot doesn’t appear everywhere . At the start of each raid, EFT determines what loot is present on the map and where. You’ll need to learn which rooms and locations tend to have loot more frequently. While the potential loot spots are consistent, the presence of loot, the types of containers, their positions, and their contents vary from raid to raid . To get this knowledge, other than experience, you can watch EFT streamers play or the loot guides or map guides they often make, where you can see their loot runs, what they prioritize, etc. I also highly suggest to take a look and study the interactive maps you can find on the EFT wiki . Note: Patch 0.16 introduced a pretty big change by introducing the rule by which now to upgrade your hideout you need FIR (Found In Raid) items .

Or Not? One of the most hardcore aspects of Escape from Tarkov is the fact that when your character dies, everything in their inventory stays on their body and can be looted by other players or AI. It’s a sort of “soft permadeath,” because your PMC will retain their acquired level, completed quests, and all their skills and stats, but you’ll lose everything you took with you into the raid where you died. I believe this mechanic originates from games like the DayZ mod for Arma 2, one of the first online games to use this feature. The difference with DayZ is that EFT’s game scenarios are not persistent, so you cannot respawn and return to your body to recover what you lost. It's probably for this reason that in EFT, “if you die, you lose everything” but with two exceptions. Click on the links to read the articles I prepared about them: Secure Container Insurance Note: In a recent interview , Nikita explained that the true origin of the soft permadeath and the insurance system comes from EVE Online, which he was playing during the period when he first started thinking about and envisioning Escape from Tarkov.
