Escape from Tarkov
Tarkov night play
Night and weather change Escape from Tarkov. This page is about light, audio, and moving through Norvinsk raids with AI scavs, PMCs, and extract pressure when vision drops.
Light discipline
Use the smallest light that still shows extracts. Flooding a room advertises the whole squad.
Silhouettes on ridges end Tarkov nights. Walk below the skyline.
Audio first
Audio beats visuals after dark. Stop to listen before every ammo types door.
If you cannot hear footsteps over your own sprint, you are already late.
Weather windows
Audio weather is a timer. Move on the quiet edge, not through the loud center.
When the weather breaks, so do hiding spots. Escape from Tarkov daybreak is a third-party hour.
