Editorial Notes
How to use this hub
The Escape from Tarkov hub is written around extraction confidence, budget kits, map risk, and loot discipline. It favors decisions you can test in the next session over vague "best in slot" claims.
If you only have time for one session, plan backward from extraction and leave after one meaningful objective. Come back later for tier lists, farming routes, or settings once the simple plan feels stable.
