The Escape from Tarkov raid toolkit

Escape from Tarkov is brutal to anyone who goes in without information: you don't know where to extract, what your loot is worth, which quest you're missing, or which ammo penetrates. The game helps with none of it. That's why the community built an ecosystem of tools most players keep on a second monitor. This stack gathers the five essentials.

Before and during the raid

The base reference is Tarkov.dev: items, quests, barters, hideout, and flea data, all in one place and community-maintained. It's the first tab you open for almost any question. For the economy, Tarkov Market gives you real-time flea prices, key to knowing what to sell, what to buy, and what's worth looting in-raid.

Progression is handled by Tarkov Tracker: which quests and hideout upgrades you're missing, and —crucially— which items to keep for future tasks instead of selling them by mistake. To get around, MapGenie gives you interactive maps with extracts, spawns, loot, and quest locations, which hugely cuts down deaths from disorientation.

And before going in, ToTov Builder lets you build and compare gun builds to optimize damage, ergonomics, and cost for your raid budget.

Why these five

Each covers a distinct need:

• General reference → Tarkov.dev
• Economy → Tarkov Market
• Quest progress → Tarkov Tracker
• Maps and extracts → MapGenie
• Gun builds → ToTov Builder

You don't need all five to survive, but together they're the difference between playing informed and flying blind. Each tool has its full analysis in the codex.
