I’ve been running Tarkov raids across wipes since 2019, and I’ve made peace with the fact that the game will always find a new way to kill me. I tend to play the economy as much as the gunfights — quest-efficient routes, knowing which loot actually funds the next kit, and reading a map well enough to pick fights on my terms instead of theirs.
My guides are written for the player who’s tired of dying in the first ninety seconds: where to go, what to grab, when to extract, and how to stop hemorrhaging roubles. Kappa secured most wipes, for whatever that’s worth.
Expect map knowledge, ammo and kit advice, and flea-market economy calls aimed at keeping you in the black wipe after wipe.
