The hardcore MMO looter-shooter Escape from Tarkov is a unique beast, both in gameplay and approach to its platform. Demanding EFT Roubles its own launcher, at least during its beta period which began on August 4, 2016, the title also has multiple editions that can be difficult to understand for new players. At least initially, meaning the beginning of every wipe, more expensive editions tend to confer additional benefits to players (which are mitigated as progression continues). Here’s every Escape from Tarkov edition, and everything they include.
Escape from Tarkov: Standard Edition.
Price — $45.
Roubles — 500,000.
Stash size — 10×28 (280 slots).
Alpha container (2×2).
Assorted food, water, and medical components.
Assorted, faction-specific (USEC/BEAR) weaponry and apparel.
The lowest-priced edition is called the Standard Edition for a good reason; this is where most tend to start their Escape from Tarkov journey. A small stash size and secure Container can make it difficult to progress in missions that demand multiple items, but both can be expanded through questing with various traders.
Escape from Tarkov: Left Behind Edition.
Price — $75.
Roubles — 500,000.
Stash size — 10×38 (380 slots).
Alpha container (2×2).
Assorted food, water, and medical components+.
Assorted, faction-specific (USEC/BEAR) weaponry and apparel+.
Escape from Tarkov: Left Behind Edition offers a few more pieces of weaponry and assorted health items, which you can read in detail on the Escape from Tarkov pre-order page, but the actual benefit here is the increased stash. Weapons and gear will come and go, and even being better geared right after the wipe doesn’t guarantee success in raids. The additional 100 Escape from tarkov roubles slots for the stash, however, is a sizeable upgrade from the Standard Edition.
