Last update: 24 February 2020

Weapons in Escape from Tarkov are more difficult to use than in most FPS games. The screen doesn't show how many bullets you have left in the magazine/clip or the current firing mode - you need to check everything yourself. You won't see a crosshair either - this means that you have to use the sight of your weapon. This page focuses on handling weapons - the key combinations listed here will help you use weapons. You will learn how to quickly reload your weapon, or how to change the sight in Escape from Tarkov.
