General data


Type		Other location

Arena is a location in Escape from Tarkov.

Description[]

The Arena location has to be purchased separately from Escape from Tarkov on the Escape from Tarkov: Arena website, and can be played as standalone. Owners of the "The Unheard" or "Edge of Darkness" edition of the main game get free access as part of the season pass.

Experience and character skills progression is shared between the main game and the Arena. With the help of Ref, certain items and currency can be transferred.

Game Modes[]

Unranked[]

Unranked games include modes for which it is difficult to determine ranking, as well as PvE modes. Cash rewards are increased by 20% for tier 1, 30% for tier 2, and 45% for tier 3 gear presets in comparison to ranked mode.

Teamfight: No one's left behind[]

2 teams of 5 players fight for victory. The first team to score 5 (ranked 7) round victories wins. If no team was eliminated during the main round time, the overtime timer starts and activates an objective in the center of the location which needs to be captured. The team that captures the point or finishes off the opposing team wins the round. If the winner hasn't been decided in overtime, a cleanup crew consisting of Scav Raiders in the first wave, and Killa together with Tagilla in the second wave is released into the Arena, who will hunt the surviving contestants until one of the teams is fully eliminated. Additionally, poisonous gas is released 30 seconds after the start of overtime, dealing 3 damage to all body parts every 3 seconds.

Last Hero: The strongest survives[]

Deathmatch between 6-8 players. The goal is to get the most kills in the allotted time. All gear presets within the selected tier are free and available for selection, regardless of player progress. Gear presets can be changed after each death. In this game mode, the effect is permanently applied to all players.

Ranked[]

Ranked games consist of a balanced version of the Teamfight game mode which will allow players to focus on the most fair and interesting matches. Only 1 identical gear preset per team is allowed.

Shootout: Tournament[]

6 teams of 2 players or 4 teams of 3 players fight against each other in a round-robin style tournament. The two teams with the most victories meet in the final to determine the winner of the tournament. If multiple teams have the same amount of victories, the finalists are determined by the best overall performance. A final fight takes place in the format of 3 rounds - up to two victories. Victory in a round can be achieved in two ways: Eliminating the enemy team, or if the victory condition is not met in the main round time, the overtime timer starts and activates an objective which needs to be held for a certain time. If the objective is not taken before the overtime ends, the round is a draw.

Upcoming game modes[]

Overrun - Cooperate or die: PvE missions for 5 players. The goal of the team is to clear the location from waves of enemies, complete the given objective and evacuate to a safe zone.
