Escape from Tarkov punishes guesswork. Knowing a map's extracts, the spawns of players and Scavs, and which quests are worth doing early is often the difference between a profitable raid and losing your whole kit in the first five minutes.
Our Tarkov guides walk through map knowledge and extraction planning, trader quests and the order to tackle them, weapon and ammo choices, hideout progression, and the survival habits that keep you alive long enough for your gear to pay for itself.
