There are dozens of keybindings in Escape from Tarkov, and eventually you’ll want to learn them all to help you with your menu in the middle of a contested raid. Some of them are pretty obvious: the tab opens the menu, R reloads your weapon, and X drops you face down. Others are much less intuitive but much more important. The hotkeys we cover here are some of the most important to memorize, because once you know them, you’ll use them in every raid you run.
Key combinations you need to know in Escape from Tarkov
