Escape From Tarkov Skill System Detailed
Battlestate Games revealed a number of details about Escape From Tarkov's skill system today. All skills fall under a set of five categories—Combat, Mental, Physical, Practical, and Special—and are trained through use. Performing an action will put experience into the skill the action is associated with. Each skill level increase will cause the player character to perform the associated action(s) in a "better, quicker and more accurate" manner. This means that only skills that you actively make use of will be leveled, with the exception of an additional free skill level up earned with each "experience level."
While most of the skill categories are self-explanatory, the Special category is used to represent faction-specific skills. BEAR, USEC, and Scavs each have their own unique Special skills. You can find the full, but tentative, list of skills below.
