First, take a look at the Escape from Tarkov backstory.

Escape from Tarkov is a hardcore simulation of a first-person action role-playing/simulation game. It also features massively multiplayer online games (MMOs) and has the main story to drive game development.

Over time, the situation in the Norvinsk region has become more complex. Tarkov is constantly fighting and people are worried; the local people have fled the city, and some people have chosen to stay, trying to take advantage of opportunities in the troubled times for personal gain. After being forced to accept the reality, the savage Tarkov locals (also known as the scavenger) gathered together to form well-equipped armed gangs and began a battle for separatism in the city. Today Tarkov has been fragmented into several regions, each controlled by different groups. Greedy mercenaries can't be disciplinary, they always kill citizens for whatever they want, and two private military companies continue to clash.

Players will be transformed into a mercenary who survived the early conflict in Tarkov. After choosing the faction (USEC or BEAR), the character controlled by the player will embark on a journey to escape the city. Tarkov has been blocked by the United Nations and the Russian military, the supply chain has been cut off, and the command center cannot be contacted. Under such harsh conditions, players can only try to break through this chaotic metropolis by themselves.

Escape from Tarkov's storyline takes place in the fictional Novynsk Special Economic Zone, a trade bridge that connects Russia and Europe. In order to attract large multinational enterprises to settle down, the region introduced many preferential policies, but also attracted some impure motives. Tarkov was one of the best growing cities in the region, and a political scandal was brewing as a trans-Atlantic company moved in. Six months later, the scandal intensified and escalated into an armed conflict involving the United Nations peacekeeping forces, the internal security forces, and two private military companies. Borders in the area have been firmly sealed off, and those trapped therein have been forced to isolate themselves from the outside world.

The never-ending crossfire is slowly pushing the entire city into the dark abyss.

The two private military companies are the most active armed forces in the Norvinsk region, and they are each employed in two camps that initially faced each other. USEC, employed by the infamous Terra Group multinational group, has been involved in armed struggles hampering local government investigations into the Terra Group. In addition, intelligence reports indicate that USEC provided armed cover for illegal work and research by the foreign company. The BEAR organization, which was allegedly ordered by the Russian government, is employed by officials in the Norvinsk region in order to find evidence to expose the illegal actions of the Terra Group.
