About Containers
Containers are an extremely rare and valuable gear inEscape from Tarkov. For those wonder what exactly isEscape from Tarkov, it’s an FPS MMO-like game with PVP elements. Players enter raid maps to complete quests, gather better loot, and extract from the raid. Extracting from a raid allows players to keep any gear they find during a raid. However, dying during a raid cause any gear found and brought into a raid to be lost from that character permanently.
Containers allow players to keep a certain amount of gear regardless. For example, the Gamma Container’s 3x3 grid could allow for certain med kits, or even a small firearm and some extraammo, that players can splitinto multiple stacks. Alternatively, players can put extremely valuable loot in a container and keep it no matter what, provided that the gear fits into the container’s limited space.
