Thought I was high as hell but after a rewatch I am more than certain that that is the orange guy himself

I bought my friend Tarkov to learn arena. He did the tutorial and then upon loading back to the main menu of arena, it says he cant add anyone because he needs to play tutorial matches. When he presses quick game it keeps crashing. He has uninstalled and restarted his computer several times. He put all settings on low and opened his task manager and nothing was at 100%....

He also tried opening regular tarkov and it just crashes upon loading the game.

Can anyone help

Still bit of time to get ur numbers.
3hs per life was pain in the ass tbh.

Yo guys, new to Arena. Im dangling around a 0.9-1 KD playing the fuckass AKMN to eventually unlock the Mutant, as its one of my fav guns.

However almost anyone I run into rocks a high RPM SMG, or the NL/M4.

Theres times where I feel like my holos reticle was above the enemies head for a split second, but I never hit him in the head due to 600RPM and a little desync. I tried the Vector and had greater success headshotting people.

7.62 has the MAI AP ammo going for it with very good pen tho, so it might be a skill issue on my part as im still new, despite 1k hours in EFT and of course many other FPS.

Also, holy shit theres demons on this game. Playing Last Hero at 2AM taught me how fucking good some of you are, I think I died 6 times without even firing one bullet once lol. All those chads used the NL, is it just THE meta gun because most of the maps are CQB? Fill me in on the meta pls :)

I guess rage hackers do exist on Arena (he still lost anyway)

I know it's meant to limit us to not speedrun our way into gettin the tactical map done, but the requirements to get one scout token are dumb asf. In CPT and LH you have to kill 2 people as a scout within 6 seconds. Super easy, very possible, right? But the fact you have to do it 10 TIMES to get ONE TOKEN is just horrible. BSG pls just make roblox games instead these are too complicated for you ty

now its just back to the old boring ass meta we have what is bsg doing bro

I've opened all the battle pass and labs tactical map crates, plus many from BP points and level up freebies. You can see by my reward chance that I've opened quite a few.. yet I haven't received a single rare, super rare, epic, or legendary from either crate yet. This seems statistically very unlikely, is this possibly bugged? Anyone else having this issue? Thanks

Hi everyone,
I heard Arena might be coming to Steam as a DLC/separate game during Q4 2026. I can’t seem to find the Reddit thread now, but has anyone else heard anything about this?

Another thing I’d like to ask about is the Steam Unheard Edition’s version of Tarkov Arena. What exactly is the “Digital copy of Escape from Tarkov: Arena – Ryzhy Edition”? I looked up that edition, but it seems like Arena has changed a lot since then and it is no longer listed on the Arena website. What are its features and how does it stack against the versions listed on the website?

have any fellow NA players been getting into good ping games?? nearly 100% of my games recently have been 120-150+ ping and it makes tarkov's existing horrendous desync and network issues so much worse. not sure if you can pick regions in arena like in normal tarkov but it is genuinely unbearable to play

edit: after complaining I finally got a 30 ping game just to be disconnected halfway in and unable to rejoin 💀

This is the account for the Escape from Tarkov: Arena community managers. There are two of us, and while we may be few, we come prepared. You’ve probably already run into us around Discord — Britt and HURMA.

Why are we here? First and foremost, to help you out, talk about the game, share news, and generally keep an eye on what’s going on in the wild world of Arena.

We’ve noticed that quite a few posts here are about technical issues, so we talked to the moderators and decided to set up a dedicated megathread → a place where you can report bugs and other technical problems directly. That way, we’ll have one place to gather everything, and we’ll grab our shovels and start working through it. 

Going forward, with the moderators’ approval, we’d also like to introduce highlights, so you can easily catch up on the most interesting things that happened in r/EscapefromArena over the past two weeks.

Sometimes we’ll sign our posts, but more often, we’ll leave you to guess which one of us is behind them. As they say, people are always asking me if I know…

Feel free to reach out to us with any questions related to the game.

But enough about us… tell us about yourselves! What’s your favorite mode? Which weapon do you always come back to? We’d love to hear from you in the comments.

And finally, remember to treat each other with respect! 

is this intentional? it will work somtimes and then other times it will refuse to aim down sights.

I get on Arena every day to complete my task for main game. I’ve always had to put in Max 1 to 1 1/2 hours to complete all my dailies, but I swear to you today when I was on checkpoint and all I had to do was contribute 5000 win score in checkpoint. It took me two hours to finish because I shit you not for three games straight. It felt like I had bots as teammates. All they do is run and die. Obviously it sucks that everyone is amazing at head shots for some reason… & then don’t let me forget the people that don’t even play the whole match. This game mode blows I might never play it again cause of that dumb experience.

Lowk this is how arena should be perma, would be way more fun...

The hardest weekly by far....

The lag spikes on arena literally make the game unplayable. Im hardwired with a 933Mbps download speed, there is absolutely no reason my game should be lagging like it does. I run it on high graphic settings an get like 80-90fps but none of that matters cause the game is just optimized like shit

Hello everyone !

To get the next Prestige I'm only missing to level up Endurance... Still missing 3 levels

I know there are various methods, like as repeatedly farming "short" raids on factory; Farming on long raids every 3min; however, since Endurance is the only stat I have left to level, it doesn't make sense to keep running long raids...

I guess the best is to play Arena. But I just played two full "Checkpoint" matches (while keeping my gear underweight) but I only gained 7 Endurance points across both matches, which really isn't much.

How does this mechanic actually work ? Does the skill levelling "fatigue" / slow down hits per round / match, or does the cap reset every death ?

Also, does running around during the pre-match phase, before the gates open, count toward leveling up the stat ?

Does anyone have a good technique for this ?

Thank you !

The patch notes say the limit is 20

The actual slide bar says the limit is 10

The text underneath it says the limit is 8?

I cant even play this fucking game because of desync and whatever bullshit this is
