Escape from TarkovandTarkov Arenaare two standalone games with some interesting overlapping mechanics. For one, Tarkov Arena gives players different forms of currency and random crates. These items can all be transferred to the base Escape from Tarkov game to help players get more currency or loadouts. However, transferring Arena crates has some requirements before you can open them. Here’s how to open these locked Arena Crates in the base Escape from Tarkov game.

This tab will open up an item transfer grid, and you should place all your Tarkov Crates. Press transfer, and it should send everything to your base Escape from Tarkov game.

Once you have the requirements, go to your Workbench in your hideout. Look for the Arena Crate crafts and start opening them. After finishing the craft, you’ll get an unlockable version of the Arena Crate. Right-click the crate and unpack it. You should instantly get the items transferred to your stash. The items inside these Arena Crates are rarely good, but most of them are useful. You cansend out the useless items to the Cultist Circlein hopes of finding some rare loot.
