Get out alive
The extraction loop across ARC Raiders, Tarkov and Hunt: run planning, when to extract, and reading a fight you do not have to take.
A beginner plan for extraction shooters that does not depend on map knowledge you have not built yet — what to bring, what to ignore, and how to turn early runs into information instead of losses.
Running alone is not the same run with fewer people. It changes what a fight costs, what a loadout is worth and which extracts are realistic — here is how to adjust rather than just play more carefully.
Most runs are lost in the last five minutes, not the first twenty. The signals worth leaving on, why a full bag changes the maths, and how to pick an extract before you need one.
Running solo changes the maths on every item you bring down. A framework for valuing a loadout by what it costs you to lose it, why the expensive kit often performs worse alone, and where to look up the current item data.
Battle royales ask whether you can win a fight. Extraction shooters ask whether you should take one — and that single change reshapes everything from loadout choice to how the genre handles losing.
