BTR

The  is a vehicle in Escape from Tarkov.

Description
The BTR-82A is a more protected version of the BTR-80. The BTR-82A is fitted with a reinforced multi-layer floor which provides superior protection against mines and improvised explosive devices (IEDs). The BTR-80 itself is based on the BTR-70 APC, which itself was based on the BTR-60. It has a single 260-hp V-8 turbocharged water-cooled diesel engine, an improvement over the twin gasoline engines installed in the BTR-60 and BTR-70 vehicles.

BTR patrol
The BTR-82A is operated by non-player characters (NPCs) and travels between different locations within the maps it is active in. It is neutral to all players, unless a player starts attacking it first, or someone has purchased the "covering fire" service recently. It is also hostile to traitor Scavs.

The driver offers various services to his passengers. Service cost depends on faction, Scav karma, Charisma level and travel distance.

Covering fire
PMCs can order covering fire with the help of BTR weaponry, which provides the safest possible drop-off at a stop. Only available after purchasing the taxi service.

If someone purchases this service, the BTR becomes hostile. When the service ends, the BTR becomes neutral to all players again.

Taxi service
Players can purchase a taxi service with Roubles while inside the BTR to travel to specific locations within the map.

Item extraction
PMCs can send items with the found in raid  status to their stash when placing them in the BTR trunk. Items will arrive after 1 hour via the mail system. The size of the BTR trunk is influenced by your Scav karma.
