There are dozens of keybinds in Escape from Tarkov, and you’ll want to master them all to help you navigate menus in the midst of a contested assault. Some are self-explanatory: tab starts the menu, R reloads your firearm, and X causes you to fall prone. Others are less obvious but far more significant. The keybinds we’ll go over here are some of the most essential to remember because you’ll use them in every raid you perform.
