Escape From Tarkov Controls Guide: Hotkeys And Keybindings

One thing that sets Escape From Tarkov apart from other multiplayer shooters is how deep its various systems go. From combat and gear to movement and inventory management, every element not only has multiple moving parts to understand, but also requires a fair bit of work on the player's part to properly control. Unless you're used to more realistic military sims, Escape From Tarkov's barrier to entry is a bit higher than your average shooter. 

If you really want to be on top of your game, you're going to have to learn a lot of hotkeys. Below, you'll find a handy list of some of the most important and commonly used hotkeys in Escape From Tarkov, as well as a rundown of the basic controls--the action, the primary key binding, and the press type (if it's something other than pressing or releasing a button) listed below are all the current default from Escape From Tarkov's settings. We've changed the wording for "press type" or "input type" to be a bit more basic than what the game's official settings specify--"continuous" is now "hold down," for instance, meaning it's a key you need to hold down rather than just press once. 

We've also added a few hotkeys that were unlisted and bolded some particularly handy ones to memorize, which we'll go over individually. Note that the distinction between a "basic" and "advanced" control in this guide is entirely for organizational purposes--Escape From Tarkov's game settings don't distinguish its inputs this way, this is just to make things clearer for new players. What's "advanced" for one player might be considered "basic" for another--it all depends on how new you are to the kind of hardcore, genre-bending shooter Tarkov strives to be. 

In any case, we hope this guide will help you learn the finer nuances of Tarkov's movement, how to properly wield your weapons and take advantage of their customizability, and how to quickly cycle through your inventory when exploring and looting in the dangerous Russian city of Tarkov.

Escape From Tarkov is not on Steam and remains in early access, but its frequent updates, such as the latest patch, 12.9, consistently add new content and the occasional progress wipe to keep the game fresh for its thriving community. Note: Escape From Tarkov is still in development, so many of the default hotkeys and keybindings are subject to change as its systems get updated. We will try to keep this guide as up-to-date as possible, but if you see something is missing or inaccurate, feel free to let us know in the comments!Movement in Escape From Tarkov is bound to the WASD keys by default, and the ability to jump, crouch, and go prone are pretty straightforward too. 

There are more advanced movement options to be aware of that we'll list out under Advanced Movement, but the major takeaway from this section should be some of the basic interaction inputs, notably hitting F to grab items, loot bodies and containers, and open and close doors.
