EFTRADARHeavy Vests skill — Escape from Tarkov
Table of contents
Practicalup to level 51
Heavy armor skills reduce penetrating health damage, cumulative damage to health and armor, and also partially compensate for the lack of mobility when wearing it.
How to level it up
Take hits on heavy armor (classes 4–6).
A skill “gets tired”: if you train the same action for a long time, the XP for it drops to almost zero. After a pause of about 200 seconds the fatigue resets, and the first point after the rest comes with a 30 % bonus.
Radar and leveling
- Fewer deaths means more time in raid: skills like Perception and Endurance level up while you are alive and moving.
- Valuable loot highlighted by price and smart clusters speed up looting — Attention and Search level up faster.
