User Interface

This page covers the basics of user interface in Escape from Tarkov.

Character Menus
Character customization is vast in Escape from Tarkov as you can fully customize your PMC inventory (even clothes can be changed). But Escape from Tarkov is also a RPG game as your character will level his skills through the raids. Therefore, the character menu let you access several tabs :
 * Overall to check your account and PMC stats and infos.
 * Gear to tweak your PMC inventory and sort your stash.
 * Health to show you PMC health (same as in raid).
 * Skills to check your skill leveling as well as the bonuses you get from it.

Trader Menus
Traders are one of the main source of progression in the game. By completing tasks you'll level the traders up and unlock new trades and gears. Once you've selected a dealer, you can access several pages:
 * The Buy tab to buy items from the traders or do barter trades.
 * The Sell tab to sell items to the traders (not that not every trader can by every items and when they do they offer different prices depending on the item category so choose carefully to who you sell your items to make the most profit).
 * The Tasks tab to accept and complete quests.

Flea Market
One of the most important part of the Escape from Tarkov in game economy is the flea market. In the flea market, you can sell found in raid items and buy items from other players. The main page is the browse page where you can research for a specific item name as well as set flags to refine your research (don't forget to remove the flags when no longer needed or you might not find the items you search).

Presets
In Escape from Tarkov you can fully mod weapons and create presets to go faster with modding. The preset menu lets you build new configurations, edit existing ones, save and load configurations. This menu can be accessed by clicking the Presets button or by right-clicking a weapon in your stash and select Edit preset.

Once in the menu you can:
 * Load a configuration by clicking Open then search for the configuration name.
 * Save a configuration by clicking Save as and give it a custom name.

Note that in the preset editor you can only see the compatible parts that you have already examined.

In Game Overlays
The in game overlay gives you information on your health, movements and extracts. There is also a hot bar to switch weapons and items faster as well as preview the remaining uses and durability.


 * The hot bar lets you bind weapons and items in your pockets or rig to specific hot key (number bar keys by default). To place an item in your hot bar simply drag and drop it in the slot from your inventory or hit the desired hot key while hovering over it in your inventory.
 * The movements overlay shows your character pose (stand, crouch or prone) and crouch level (the leveled vertical bar on the left), your stamina (green bar that turns red when low) and harm fatigue (blue bar), as well as the sound level you make while moving (steps and foliage rustlings) that you can tweak using the mouse-wheel (dotted lines bar at the bottom with speaker icon).
 * You can hit the O key twice by default to pop the extract menu (once shows the remaining time). Extract with interrogation marks either requires an action to be available or are open randomly (decided at the beginning of the raid). The extract name turns green when an action requiring extract is opened and whole extract frame light green when your currently at the extract (blinking if not able to extract). Note that some extract can only be used once and will appear red when used (that way you know it's no longer available as someone already extracted there).
