Can You Play Escape From Tarkov Co-op? SPT + Fika, Explained

One of the most-searched Tarkov questions is whether you can play Escape From Tarkov co-op with friends against the AI, in your own private world. In the live game that experience doesn’t exist the way most people want it. The answer for a private, wipe-free PvE co-op Tarkov is SPT + Fika.

SPT: your own offline Tarkov

SPT (Single-Player Tarkov) is a mod project that runs Tarkov offline against AI, with no BSG wipes and no live cheaters. It’s fully under your control — but on its own it’s single-player.

Fika: the co-op layer

Fika is the SPT mod that adds multiplayer, so you and your friends can share the same raids and progression — doing quests, sharing loot, and fighting AI PMCs, Scavs and bosses together. Together, SPT + Fika is how you actually get co-op Escape From Tarkov.

What you need

• A legitimate copy of Escape From Tarkov (SPT verifies ownership from the game files).
• SPT installed, then Fika on top.
• A server to host — see how to host a Fika server for the options.

Fika is free and non-commercial, meant for private co-op with friends — not public or monetized servers. If you’d rather your group’s world be online around the clock without one person keeping their PC on, a dedicated Stay in Tarkov (SPT/Fika) server handles the hosting for you.

Facts in this guide are drawn from the official Project Fika wiki. Fika is a free, non-commercial community project for SPT and is intended for private co-op with friends — you must own Escape From Tarkov to use it.
