Escape From Tarkov Offline Mode: How to Play Solo

Escape From Tarkov’s offline mode is a great way to stay away from the PVP as a new player. If you feel overwhelmed and run into experienced players who constantly kill you, playing offline can help you get accustomed to the game’s mechanics before you are ready to take on veterans. Escape From Tarkov’s offline mode is available as a means of playing against bots only and if you die, you do not lose your gear. The downside to playing Escape From Tarkov’s offline mode is that you will not get any experience or loot, so you should play it only to get accustomed to the game’s mechanics.

According to Battlestate Games, the Escape From Tarkov offline mode exists to help players test the game during the closed beta. You can enter raids with or without scavs but you will not receive any loot or progression. 

You can make use of the offline mode to explore and test weapons. It is also a great way to spend time if the game’s servers are unavailable. The developers plan on adding a variety of activities that can be played offline.

• AI difficulty 
• AI amount 
• Bosses

• Scav Wars

The tagged and cursed option is best left unchecked unless you are looking for a hardcore challenge. As soon as you tag an AI enemy, other enemies in the vicinity will rush at you making fights extremely difficult. Scav wars enable AI vs AI fights. You will load into the game with gear you have but you will not lose any gear in case you die in offline mode. You will also not be able to earn any gear in Escape From Tarkov’s offline mode.
