Your Tarkov survivor class in the overall statistics tab provides valuable insights into your EFT playstyle. This guide to Escape From Tarkov survivor classes lists all of the available options (Unknown, Neutralizer, Marauder, Paramedic and Survivor) and how your class is determined.

What Is Tarkov Survivor Class – Full List
Your Tarkov survival class is displayed in the overall tab of your character statistics (screenshot below). This statistic details your Tarkov survival playstyle and is based on the kill, looting, healing and survival experience statistics featured on the same page.
There are 5 possible values:
- Unknown – Not enough experience to determine a survivor class yet: Prior to PMC level 20 players will have the unknown status although using the logic of the survivor classes below players can determine for themselves what their class would be.
- Neutralizer (Kills) – Majority of experience from kills: Neutralizer class players are good at PvP and likely hunt other PMC dogtags or Scavs as a priority and don’t emphasise loot runs.
- Marauder (Looting) – Majority of experience from looting: Marauder class players may adhere to the “rat” playstyle, preferring to loot everything they find and return it to their stash while avoiding actively hunting players or Scavs. This can also indicate the player regularly seeks out high value loot areas as rare items provide significantly more experience than common items in Tarkov.
- Paramedic (Healing) – Majority of experience from healing: The player has spent a large amount of raid time healing their character over other raid activities. Players are unlikely to earn this Tarkov survivor class naturally through regular gameplay and indicates that the player has been vitality skill levelling by purposefully taking damage from fire, barbed wire or falling.
- Survivor (Survival) – Majority of experience from survival: Survivor class players have a high survival rate but also shorter raid times as they don’t generate significant kill or loot experience in proportion. Survival experience can quickly add up where players are ahead of the average Tarkov survival rate (around 50%) and suggests an efficient playstyle focused on getting into raid, achieving an objective and extracting safely.
Changes to your Tarkov class may occur as players gain game experience, alter their playstyle for specific quests or while playing in a squad of friends. Each class has no advantage or disadvantage as it is a statistical reflection of your playstyle and where your PMC experience has been gained. Like other account stats your experience and survivor class resets every Tarkov wipe.

I’m also a neitralizer but honestly I feel like I should be a marauder. I like to chase pvp once in a while but my looting is insane it really surprises me I didn’t get the rat one.

I used to be marauder not because of the play style due to me being bad at the game early into the wipe now I’m neutraliser and I believe it I main labs and just shoot shit

then why not just play cod although hearing for 75 meters kind of removed the majority of stealth from gameplay and multiplied the bush wookes exponentially…

The post literately asked that question though. ”What is your class currently in your character stat window from the list above? Be sure to share it and your current experience numbers below to allow for community comparison.”

i am a neutralizer most of the time it is defending my self while trying to do a task i get so unlucky with bosses spawning either in front of me running around a corner or behind me i get lucky sometimes but die aa lot it sucks but i am hoping i can do better in pvp once i get use to the movement restrictions i often forget and set my self up for death also finding rare loot is ruff for me right now i go to places and find nothing what seems like all the time and my strength is somehow higher than my endurance lol

I am lvl 44 at the moment. Over 2K hours, but I’ve been a weekend player since release. Until recently, I’ve taken the “Kill everything a can and run when I can’t” approach to things. Now, I find myself enjoying my time on Woods with the .338 Lapua Mag bolty and wacking PMCs from across the lake in a scav vest, no bag, and a mini mac with SNB Ap 9mm or a P90 and two mags. Jolly good fun.
