While you’re on a raid, either as your chosen faction in PMC or as a Scav raider, channel your inner trash panda and hoover up as much loot as you possibly can. As the name suggests, you have to escape from Tarkov, but in reality, all this means is you have to survive a single raid – an outing into one of the city’s maps. Escape From Tarkov is a hardcore looter shooter at heart with RPG elements. The online game has two real factions – BEAR and USEC, which you’ll pick from when you first boot up the game – before going toe to toe with AI and human controlled players across a variety of maps in the war-torn city of Tarkov.
