Keybind-triggered gear protection. Snapshot your loadout, get it back if you die.
Keep Starting Gear
Protect your loadout with a simple keybind. Snapshot your equipment in-raid and get it back automatically if you die.
How It Works
- Enter a raid with the gear you want to protect
- Press Ctrl+Alt+F8 to save a snapshot of your current equipment
- Play normally - if you extract, your snapshot is cleared
- Die? Your gear is automatically restored when you return to the hideout
No Run-Through penalty. No manual file editing. Just press the keybind and play.

Do I understand it correctly, this mod requires me to make a manual snapshot every time I enter a raid? It does not automatically take a snapshot on raid start?
Hello! Thanks for this mod! What happens if I leave options such as secure case, scabbard, armband etc, that you wouldn’t lose anyway, out of the snapshot? Will I lose the items inside or will they just work normally? i suppose if I do enable snapshot for them they’ll rollback to when I took the snapshot which is undesirable, but I also don’t wanna risk losing the items in them.
the mod does not work i died and after restoring i still got no gear
I have a bug that my gear did not reappear after I tested your mod
Your code has hardcodded path to snapshots in RaidEndInterceptor.cs file as: private readonly string _snapshotsPath = @“H:\SPT\BepInEx\plugins\Blackhorse311-KeepStartingGear\snapshots”;
Also everyone please be patient for any fixes I need to make. I’m out of town for the US Thanksgiving holiday and won’t be back until next week to actually look at code.
This is an entirely new version that does things a bit differently than the last version I had, so this is the 1.0.0 edition of this all new way to save your gear with more customization and better code.
Glad you are back too. I have a bug that my gear did not reappear after I tested your mod. I got the snapshot text up when I entered a raid, then a second snapshot when I died. When I got back to lobby it said “loading gear! or something like that but my character was empty of gear. Do I need to insure it before I go out as well as use your mod??
Is this an update from the v2.1.1 (https://forge.sp-tarkov.com/mod/2450/keep-starting-gear), which no longer exists?
Hey. Glad to see you’re back. Could you please tell us what’s the reason behind the introduction of hotkeys? Can’t it make snapshot automatically?
Also, did you manage to fix an issue that when killed by boss items go away anyway?
