Maintenance was extended past the originally announced 4:00 PM start.
Since around 8:00 PM CEST that same day, character creation, modifier selection, and the tutorial have already been playable.
How it works: the global modifiers below apply to everyone automatically and can't be deselected. For personal modifiers, perks cost points and penalties earn them. You can pick as many perks as your penalties can afford, you can't go negative. Nothing is mandatory, a pure-penalty build is just as valid. Some modifiers also exclude each other, the tool blocks those combinations automatically.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Kord Breach?
Kord Breach is Escape from Tarkov's first season. It introduces global modifiers that apply to everyone, plus a personal point system of selectable perks and penalties.
How does the modifier point system work?
Every negative modifier grants points, every positive one costs points. You can only pick as many positive modifiers as your chosen negative ones can pay for, going negative isn't allowed.
Are there modifiers that exclude each other?
Yes, some modifiers block each other, for example Lucky and Unlucky or Hemophilia and Thrombophilia. The planner automatically prevents you from picking two mutually exclusive modifiers at the same time.
When does Escape from Tarkov Season 1 start?
The start originally announced for 4:00 PM CEST was delayed by extended maintenance. Since around 8:00 PM CEST on August 3, 2026, character creation, modifier selection, and the tutorial have already been playable.
Can I share my modifier build with my squad?
Yes. The share button generates a link with your selection, your squad sees the exact same build when they open it.
