Head over the [`#tutorials`](https://www.guilded.gg/senkospub/groups/B36wYEeD/channels/16291b64-bd22-4e1a-8af5-11f5e69fd9d8/docs) chan, on the [SPT-AKI's guilded server]((https://www.guilded.gg/senkospub)).

### Playing with friends / multiplayer

Play Escape From Tarkov (Live) [here](https://www.escapefromtarkov.com/preorder-page).

*SPT-AKI won't have multiplayer capabilities*.  
If you ever find videos of people playing with others, it's not made by the SPT-AKI developers and is not related to it.

### Using the underbarrel grenade launcher

The underbarrel grenade launcher (GP-34) have issues when reloading that will block your character and prevent you from anything else in a raid.
It's not meant to be useable *(at the moment)*, otherwise it would be available on the official game.
