Mortar Strikes Event (Escape from Tarkov)

The Mortar Strikes Event is a live event in Escape from Tarkov. The premise is simple: mortar fire lands across the map, and every raid becomes a matter of reading the pattern and moving with purpose rather than luck. For players who know the maps, it is a chance to turn familiar routes into calculated risks, timing crossings around incoming fire and using the chaos to flank opponents who are too busy watching the sky.

Because the event runs on its own schedule, preparation matters more than reaction. Knowing where strikes tend to fall, how much warning you get, and which paths keep you exposed for the shortest time will decide whether you extract with your kit or leave it in the dirt.
