We have pioneered the genre of extraction shooters

Escape from Tarkov is the benchmark. This is where the mechanics of escaping from a conflict zone came into being. It isn't just PvP or PvE — it's a world where every decision impacts your survival.

Every raid is a unique scenario. You go in taking risks and come out with the spoils, or don’t come out at all.

We've rewritten the standards

Gunplay and sounds, realistic character manipulation, ballistics, advanced armor system, bleedings, fractures — this is not just another shooter game. It's a simulation of combat in extreme conditions.

1000+ models of equipment and weapons, brought as close to reality as possible. Comprehensive weapon customization: infinite combinations of sights, gadgets, and accessories to create unique builds. Character appearance customization, clothing for different seasons — all this affects the gameplay and your chances of survival.

Survival is a strategy

Everything has a price: armor, ammo, time. A mistake in a raid means losing everything. Trading, crafting, hideout, barters, skill leveling, completing tasks - these are not side objectives, they are the basis of progress.

The winner is not the one who shoots better, but the one who lives in the world of Tarkov, understands the intricacies and has a strategic advantage.

Each location means a different tactic, different pace, different risk

Factory plants, forests, city districts. No repetitiveness. You never know what awaits you in a new raid.

Night raids, bad weather, betrayals, airdrops, random extraction points, gunfights with Scavs, unique Bosses — every raid could become your last.

But after dying in a raid, you can’t give up. You learn from your mistakes and re-equip your character to try to grasp and escape from Tarkov once and for all.
