EFT Tutorial and Guide

Practice Mode lets you adjust various game settings, particularly the amount and difficulty of AI enemies, as well as the presence of bosses.

​

Since fighting AI will be challenging at first, I recommend starting with all AI disabled, so you can explore freely and focus only on learning the map.

Check out this article I prepared, to learn more about the Practice Mode settings.

Your mission here is to learn how to navigate, recognize your spawn point, and figure out the direction to reach the extraction point.

​

With no enemies and just exploration ahead, don’t bring weapons—this way, you’ll be lighter and faster. Do bring food and drinks, though, as your metabolism skill starts at zero, and it won’t take long before you feel hunger and thirst.

​

Choose light gear for faster movement, go to the game’s main menu, select “Escape from Tarkov,” choose your PMC, select the map, and on the next screen, you’ll be able to activate Practice Mode.

 

Open the map of the area on your second screen or another device, and enter the raid.
