About

Escape from Tarkov is the original extraction first-person shooter where every raid is a gamble with death. Prep your raid, bleed, endure and fight through ruthless PMC players and Scavs, gain tactical advantage and cling to your loot—only extraction decides if you live or lose it all.

Escape from Tarkov is the benchmark. This is where the mechanics of escaping from a conflict zone came into being. It isn’t just player-versus-player or player-versus-environment—it’s a world where every decision impacts your survival. Every raid is a unique scenario. You go in taking risks and come out with the spoils, or don’t come out at all.

Gunplay and Sounds

Realistic character manipulation, ballistics, advanced armor system, bleedings, fractures this is not just another shooter game. It’s a simulation of combat in extreme conditions. Everything has a price: armor, ammo, time. A mistake in a raid means losing everything. Trading, crafting, hideout, barters, skill leveling, completing tasks—these are not side objectives, they are the basis of progress. The winner is not the one who shoots better, but the one who lives in the world of Tarkov, understands the intricacies and has a strategic advantage.

Comprehensive Weapon Customization

Infinite combinations of sights, gadgets, and accessories to create unique builds. Over 1,000 models of equipment and weapons, brought as close to reality as possible. Character appearance customization, clothing for different seasons all this affects the gameplay and your chances of survival.

Unique Location Design

Each location means a different tactic, different pace, different risk; Factory plants, forests, city districts. No repetitiveness. You never know what awaits you in a new raid. Night raids, bad weather, betrayals, airdrops, random extraction points, gunfights with Scavs, unique Bosses—every raid could become your last. But after dying in a raid, you can’t give up. You learn from your mistakes and re-equip your character to try to grasp and escape from Tarkov once and for all.
