Equipment handling
The technical basement of this building has become a BEAR staging point for the TerraGroup office assault. There are likely lots of supplies. Grab everything you can, you might need it later.

Escape the cordoned-off zone
The extraction point from the Ground Zero is close. But without communication with command, no one knows how much time or effort it will take to get out of Tarkov. Most will die trying to evacuate. Yet those willing to see it through to the end might still have a chance.
Exit from locations
To leave the location, you need to find an extraction point. They are often marked with a green flare, flashlight or other visual indicators. Some extractions may require money or specific items.

Exploration
Exploration pays off. Study dangerous areas from a distance, look for passages through buildings, locked doors, and underground tunnels to optimize your route. It’ll help you avoid trouble and might just keep you alive.
Fixing malfunctions
Your weapon is jammed. Inspect it, identify the cause, and fix it. Just a sidearm won’t cut it in a fight.

Fix malfunction: Left Shift + T

Landmines and tripwires
In the Norvinsk region, everyone turned on each other in an instant. Watch out — enemies will set traps and ambush you at every turn.
Loot containers
You can search dead enemies, bags, crates, and other types of containers. Not every container holds valuable loot, but each one is worth checking.

Points of interest
Your skills and experience are your best tools in this chaos. Learn and remember points of interest on different locations. Surviving means planning your raid and mapping your route ahead of time. Valuable loot in Tarkov doesn’t come easy — you’ll have to fight for it.
Preparing for battle
The last fight is barely over, and a new one is already coming. The Scavs — savage bandits and thugs — are hunting anyone who survived the blast. Get ready for a gunfight.

Strange explosion
During the assault on TerraGroup’s main office, a strange explosion cut off all contact with command. Now the goal is simple — get out of the city center. The main team is already heading for extraction, but your commander left a tape with orders for anyone who got separated, along with some medicine and supplies. To assess the situation and plan your escape, you need to listen to the tape. It seems some lights are dead. Luckily, your sidearm still has a working flashlight.

Survival
Your hydration and energy gradually decrease during a raid. If you ignore your PMC’s needs, you will start losing stamina and health, eventually leading to death. Plan ahead — bring extra supplies if you expect your next raid to be a long one.

Time limit
Keep an eye on the remaining raid time. If you fail to leave the raid before the timer runs out, your character will gain the “Missing in Action” status and you will lose all the gear you brought with you and found during the raid.
Vaulting over obstacles
Tarkov is in ruins. Expect obstacles, barricades, and hidden ways out wherever you go.
