The Escape from Tarkov ranking system has always been sacred to players, this is because Escape from Tarkov is one of few games that operates via “play-to-win” instead of “pay-to-win.” This leads to players spending hours of their valuable life ranking up their character to later prevail over their enemies on the battlefield. However, after a certain period of time playing PMC raids, players have to resort to playing as a player-scav to either earn some money or attempt to find rare items to perhaps complete a task. This leads to players halting their PMC progress because their player-scav and PMC have separate stats and levels, forcing the player to progress in separate categories. <\/p>\n
Unexpectedly, Battlestate Games has taken a very unusual approach to the Escape from Tarkov Arena leveling system, forcing the play-to-win aspect and keeping up with what players are used to with a confusing twist; player’s Arena rank and PMC rank are linked. This raises many questions about wipes, player progression, and how Arena works in general, especially with this function. <\/p>\n

Escape from Tarkov Arena has two separate levels, your character; linked to the Escape from Tarkov main game level, and your competitive Arena rank; linked to Arena exclusively. The levels system is simple, earn XP and level up as per normal in the base Escape from Tarkov platform, players will also be glad to hear that skills can also be ranked up through the arena. For example, players who use CMS or Surv12 kits will increase their surgery skills in the main game. Additionally, if you rank up your progress in the main game, again, it’s transferred into Arena. <\/p>\n
