Getting started

This page is dedicated to demonstrate how to host or join a raid with Fika to play with your friends. Before continuing, ensure that you followed all the steps to host your Fika server or join a Fika server.

Hosting a raid

• Start SPT.Launcher.exe
• Login to your account
• Start the game
• Click "Escape From Tarkov" in the main menu
• Choose PMC or SCAV
• Choose a raid location and time phase
• Click "Next" in Practice Game Mode screen
• Click "Next" in Insurance screen
• Click "Host Raid" in Lobby screen
• Press "Start"

Once your raid is loaded, you'll be presented with a button to start the raid. Once all friends have joined, click the start raid button to begin the final loading process. You will spawn together by default.

Joining a raid

• Start SPT.Launcher.exe
• Login to your account
• Start the game
• Click "Escape From Tarkov" in the main menu
• Choose PMC or SCAV
• Choose a raid location and time phase
• Click "Next" in Practice Game Mode screen
• Click "Next" in Insurance screen
• Click "Join" in the raid list.

The raid will start when all players joined the raid, the raid host clicks the start raid button, and all players have loaded the map. You will spawn together by default.

Additional info

• You cannot join mid-raid as a PMC or SCAV. You have to join the raid while it's waiting for players.
• The raid host is providing all the AI and spawn logic. If the raid host leaves or crashes, the raid dies.
• If a player crashes, he can rejoin the raid (excepted the raid host).
