LABS keycards usually cost about 150-200k roubles which can easily be enough money to make two-three budget PMC loadouts so if you ever spawn with it, run out to extraction. Additionally you can also get armor, helmets, headsets and other expensive things such as LABS keycards & keys. Scavs at the very least always have a gun with some ammo, allowing you to transfer the same gear onto your naked PMC and grant you a 'free' PMC raid- provided you survive the Scav raid first. I can't stress enough how important this is going to be for you as a new player. You can load into a raid as a Scav every ~20 minutes (some hideout upgrades lower the timer) and any loot you extract with will go into your stash where it can be sold, used for quests or PMC loadouts.Įvery time you've got access to a Scav, run a Scav raid. scavs will spam voice lines and will not shoot at you (unless you shoot at them first, they're bosses' guards or you're a PMC).

Scavs can be other players or A.I., usually the A.I. Scav- short for Scavenger, is an armed civilian that always has a randomly generated loadout. You'll have to gear the PMC depending on a few things: budget, map and quests and keep in mind that all the gear you put on the PMC will be permanently lost on death if it was not insured/placed in the secure container. PMCs by default have no gear on them (other than the melee weapon and secure container). In Escape from Tarkov there's two types of characters that you can play: PMC and Scav. In this Escape from Tarkov Beginner's guide you'll be able to find a lot of useful information that every new player will be looking for during their first 100+ hours of EFT.Ĭharacter The difference between a PMC and a Scav For most new players this is going to be a daunting task due to the huge learning curve (as there's no in-game tutorial).

In this game your main goal is going to be gearing up your PMC, loading into a raid- killing other PMCs/Scavs, looting & questing and then trying to extract out of the raid. Escape from Tarkov, also known as EFT, is a hardcore first-person shooter that features elements of RPG games (levels and passive skills) and an incredibly complex looting system.
