How To Play Guide For Escape From Tarkov

If you have not played Escape from Tarkov, then it is highly recommended that you try this game right away. Escape from Tarkov is one of the most challenging first-person shooter battle royales currently on the market. And if there is one word that can be used to describe Escape from Tarkov then that is harrowing. Even many pro and veteran gamers find this game too much for them to handle, so if you are getting knocked in the very first minute, do not put too much stock into it.

 

1. Get familiar with the mission.

The very first you need to understand is that Escape from Tarkov is quite different from other first-person shooter battle royale games out there. The main divergence is that while other first-person shooter games focus mainly on the kill count of the gamer, Escape from Tarkov is nothing like that. In Escape from Tarkov, the mission is like the title suggests Escape from the fictional place of Tarkov. Now killing opponents can surely help you in that regard, but it would not matter much if you were unable to Escape the place, no matter what your kill count is. So, if mayhem is your only motive, then Escape from Tarkov is not the game for you.

2. You will lose your equipment if you die in Escape from Tarkov.

As if Escape from Tarkov is not challenging enough, a gamer will lose all their equipment, including weapons, when they lose a round in Escape from Tarkov. This might be a disheartening experience for those who had just got perfect weapons only to lose it in the next round. So, if you are only practicing, it would be best if you do not take the best equipment in a match.

3. Insure what is important to you

There is a feature that could help you out in Escape from Tarkov, and that is insurance. Yes, Escape from Tarkov allows one to insure their equipment before they go into battle, and if they fall in the gameplay, the insured items will be returned back to them, depending on the type of insurance they may have. But there is a catch here as well, as the insured items will only be returned if another gamer has not picked them up. If such a thing has happened, then your equipment is forever lost to you.

4. Play as SCAVS to get practice

If losing your weapon and other gadgets turn you off, then you can try playing as SCAVs. SCAVs are scavengers in Escape from Tarkov as there is no risk of you losing your gear in such a scenario. There is also an added benefit of this as other AI-controlled SCAVs won't attack you, which makes roaming around the map that much easier.

5. Complete quests that have been assigned to you

While the beginner levels of Escape from Tarkov could be a punishing experience, but the more level up you get, the easier it would become, although only in relative terms, as Escape from Tarkov would still be the same challenging game. And one of the easiest ways one can level up in Escape from Tarkov is by completing the quests that have been assigned to them. You would also get perks that would only be available to you once you level up. So, you must stay up-to-date with your assigned quests.

6. Always have a map loaded up on a side screen.

If you are a beginner at Escape from Tarkov, it is crucial that you learn the intricacies of the map as quickly as possible. But until then, there is a way you can get around this, and that is by loading the map of a side screen to corroborate your exact position. While this is a suboptimal solution at best, it would nevertheless allow you to create a plan in the case enemy combatants attack you.

7. Ammo is the key to your success.

Yes, it might seem bewildering as it is an obvious point for any first-person shooter game, but in Escape from Tarkov, Ammo is even more valuable. First, there is also a limited amount of ammo to the individual unless they find more on the map, which is not easy as they are a very scarce resource, and you might have to buy them from the marketplace to combat in your next round. Second, there are several different types of ammo for various weapons in Escape from Tarkov, so you should double-check whether your primary weapon can use the ammo you have in store and if that is not the case, then rectify it immediately. In Escape from Tarkov, ammo is significantly more valuable than no matter which weapon you might have in your inventory.
