Escape from Tarkov

Escape from Tarkov Bosses

Reshala

LocationCustoms (Dorms, construction base, gas station)
WeaknessNever wears armor, tends to hide at the back of the fight
DropsUnique pistol required for The Huntsman Path quests
Recommended Level
MovesStays surrounded by 3-4 guards, retreats with 1-2 guards to cover when engaged

Tip: Isolate him from his guards where possible -- he never wears armor so a confirmed shot ends the fight fast once separated.

Killa

LocationInterchange
WeaknessNot documented
DropsHigh-value loot
Recommended Level
MovesSolo boss (no guards), extremely high mobility and burst damage

Tip: Widely rated one of the most dangerous bosses in the game -- most encounters are best kept short, be ready to disengage rather than trade.

Shturman

LocationWoods
WeaknessNot documented
DropsRed Rebel Ice Pick
Recommended Level
MovesTravels with 2 guards

Tip: A solid rouble-per-kit-cost farming target relative to other bosses.

Sanitar

LocationShoreline
WeaknessNot documented
DropsBlue-marked keycard
Recommended Level
MovesTravels with 2 guards

Tip: One of the better roubles-per-kit-cost farming targets on Shoreline.

Glukhar

LocationReserve (also has a chance to spawn on Streets of Tarkov)
WeaknessNot documented
DropsStandard high-tier boss loot
Recommended Level
MovesWields an ASh-12 assault rifle; travels with 5 guards on Streets of Tarkov or 6 on Reserve

Tip: Best avoided unless you specifically need the kill -- commonly cited as one of the toughest fights due to guard count alone.

Tagilla

LocationFactory
WeaknessLegs are the weak point
DropsStandard high-tier boss loot
Recommended Level
MovesSledgehammer melee one-shots, plus a Saiga-12 shotgun; spawns without guards

Tip: Factory tight corridors make his melee lethal at close range -- aim for the legs rather than his well-armored head and torso.

Kaban

LocationStreets of Tarkov
WeaknessNot documented
DropsPKP and stash keys
Recommended Level
MovesTravels with 8+ guards

Tip: One of the highest roubles-per-kill bosses if you can clear the large guard count safely.

Kollontay

LocationStreets of Tarkov
WeaknessNot documented
DropsStandard high-tier boss loot
Recommended Level
MovesTravels with 4-6 guards

Tip: A newer addition to the Streets of Tarkov boss roster -- treat with the same caution as Kaban given the guard count.
