Escape From Tarkov, Battlestate Games popular game, recently added the 0.12.11 patch which included a full player wipe. This plainly means that everyone, old and new, regardless of their hours in the game starts from level 1 with minimal loot. With wipes happening every 6-9 months on average, and with the Streets of Tarkov map being scheduled for the next wipe, players have a chance to get into raids where everyone is using low-tier armor and weapons.

This allows for a more unique, early-game experience in which every single decision counts. It is important to make the right choices regarding gear, loot, and setting priorities.

10 Balance Between Quests And Money Runs

There are two main options on what to do right after a wipe, and these are quest runs and money runs. Although quests are important to progress early on in order to get access to better traders and gear, money runs are also essential.

It is recommended to do a few money runs in between quest runs to have some extra cash at the hideout either for buying better weapons or for upgrading the hideout.

9 Hoard Barter Items

Probably the best tip for a wipe is to always gather barter items that will be needed for barter trades, trader quests, or hideout upgrades. Since a lot of items will be needed and it can seem challenging to keep track of everything, there are some guides that can be helpful.

For instance, the game’s official wiki showcases in an image all the items that need to be found in raid for quests while sites like tarkov-helper also include items needed for the hideout.

8 Sell Weapons

One of the main issues during early wipe, especially if hoarding barter items, will be the lack of space in the stash. One of the best tips to make sure there’s always enough space available to keep all the quest and hideout items that will be needed is to sell all weapons except the one that will be used in the next raid.

Solely for space efficiency, it’s better to buy the weapon before raids than have 5 weapons taking precious space from the stash.

7 Use Scav On Cooldown

Scav runs can be one of the best and safest ways to make money early on. As they enter the raid later than main characters, their goal is to scavenge around what’s left behind. With every map having multiple loot spots spread around, there’s usually a lot left for the scavs to make some solid money with little to no risk.

The only setback is that after doing a scav run, the player has to wait 20 minutes before doing another one, so make sure to use it when it’s available.

6 Loot Every Jacket

In Escape From Tarkov, there are multiple different containers to loot. From drawers and medicine bags to supply, weapon and armor crates, most maps offer more than enough loot. However, during early wipe, it is essential to prioritize looting jackets since they have the highest chance of spawning keys.

They can spawn keys need for quests, keys for solid money runs, or simply keys that can be sold at a good price. This makes locations like Dorms in Customs a great place, as it is full of jackets.

5 Use Weapons And Ammo With High Flesh Damage

During the first few weeks of the wipe, most players run around with little to no armor. This makes weapons like SMGs especially strong, as they can destroy anyone quickly who isn’t wearing armor, while 7.62×39 AK and SKS variants can penetrate low-tier armor with any ammo type used.

Having the right weapon on each fight can definitely give the player an advantage for coming out on top of any potential encounters, especially when combined with some of the best budget weapons.

4 Buy Scav Junkbox

Although stash management can be an issue in Escape From Tarkov, the game offers multiple different containers that allow for more efficient storage management.

The best of all containers that can be bought or crafted early on is the Lucky Scav Junkbox which is a very space-efficient container that can store all the barter items that the player has to hoard. It is one of the best investments early on since players will have to keep numerous barter items.

3 Upgrade Hideout

It is important for the player to upgrade their hideout whenever possible. The hideout is helpful either for crafting quest items that can be hard to find in raid (e.g. the 60-round AK magazines needed for a quest can be crafted in the lavatory) or for restoring health, hunger, and hydration faster through the rest space, the medstation, and the heating upgrades early on. They are also cheap to upgrade at first as long as the player keeps an eye out for the barter items that they need.

2 Heal After Raid

Whenever the character is injured after a raid, there are two options: either click ‘heal all’ after raid or heal manually at the hideout. Before level 5, always use heal all since it is completely free!

After level 5, it is recommended to have a grizzly kit in the stash to heal quickly and efficiently, while also gaining some extra XP. In any case, never forget to heal after a raid in either of the two ways as joining the next raid while injured can be extremely frustrating.

1 Eat And Drink During Raids

Similar to some of the hardest survival games, in Tarkov it is important to keep track of the energy and hydration bars. If either of them hit 0 during a raid, the player will start losing health and even die. While the player can replenish them in the hideout, it is better to bring the supplies in their inventory and consume them while in the next raid.

The difference is that when consumed at the hideout, they offer no skill progress towards metabolism, while in a raid they do. And a high metabolism makes the player lose energy and hydration at a significantly slower rate.
