- Picture this.
You’re exploring an abandoned building by yourself. You feel alone, but you're not alone.
All around you, people are hunting for the same thing as you. Your heart is pumping, and you begin hear footsteps and bullets all around you. All you can do is wait. One bad move and all your loot’s gone. And after a while your patience pays off.
This is Escape From Tarkov. It’s as fun as it is stressful, and it’s blowing up on Twitch.

A video that actually explains the game properly. Thanks for the incredible shoutout too!
hi pestily
Good luck with your 2020 goal! I bet it will be hit.

Nice
hi from indonesia man...
I remember a post on tarkovs reddit from a cheater that said:
I want my money back you cant ban me for ever.
And they answered:
Those rules are for Americans, we are russians
LoL
to make an unforgiving game, you have to be an unforgiving developer. kudos.
Can I have the link? Can't find it anywhere! If that really happened that's fricking hilarious.

Cheating in Tarkov was some of the best time i have had playing videogames. That era seems to be over with BE in charge of their AC. Nowdays i enjoy the game differently than i did before, i enjoy it for what it is.
"Tarkov put the hardcore players first"
And thats how you support the game, supporting the feedback the people want, the people who actually play the game and knows the rules of the game
I smell call of duty. I smell games for profit.
@@mozan4469 I smell overwatch, a game with a great potential and the devs just throw their ideas, activision obviously wanted the game to be appealing, and they ignore the fact checks.
Infinity Ward needs to see this. Oh wait. They don't. Nevermind.
Need to say, i dont own EFT, but looking how they rocket-jumped to the roof, this is a great example of a game being +18 and giving people a searious feeling on a game, with people who know what they want.
Guys, I don't wanna burst the bubble, but this game isn't really that popular or liked as much as the viewership numbers have you believed. This recent surge in popularity is only because of the twitch drops, you get in game content just for watching a twitch stream. Most players are just farming by starting the stream on multiple devices. And all the streamers have jumped on a bandwagon which they'll leave once the twitch drops stops.
This is a paid popularity not organic, just like apex legends, they won't be able to sustain these numbers for long.
Tarkov it's the best horror game right now and that was not the intent, it's one of the most stressful, heart bumping and awesome experiences that i have experienced, an awesome game.
That what the draw is for a lot of people, those adrenaline dump moments of pure excitement. You might not get out alive, but goddamn it'll be an experience regardless.
@@fenner1986 And when u go to that 3rd floor on Dorms after everyone has left BUT YOU KNOW SOMEONE MIGHT JUST BE COMING IN LATE... you pray to get out with those 2 Hunter rifles and some other trash.
no horror game has ever made me shake and my heart pump fast as, not even amnesia the dark descent which is the scaries horror game i've ever played, but tarkov has. many times :D
Hunt showdown used to be almost exactly like this game until they pissed out and catered to console player by ripping out the old aiming system, which made more realistic, rather everyone have the most steady hands in the world
@@theshanamaster thats what happens when devs cater to casuals who just want to jump in and shoot stuff and have "fun"
Pestily making the decision to not accept donations and instead funneling it all to a charity should be talked about way more than it is.
I don't watch twitch, except for special streams like tournaments or games done quick, but that is so damn cool. I think I'll stop by and donate to his charity :D
I agree, dude isnt getting enough notice for how great he is. But a multi millionaire pop star donates less than 100,000 and it's on the news
Vorusen it’s not the first time he’s given back either, he’s constantly doing stuff with starlight. He even went as far to disable donations for himself because in the past people would still give to him despite his saying to only donate towards !starlight
Deleting comment. Nice
Charities can be awesome but often they just try to treat the cancer symptoms rather then try to identify and understand the root causes and address those.

Shroud would've reached just the most insane viewership numbers if he'd been on twitch..
when I saw Tarkov in tittle, i just clicked as fast as scav can blackout your legs
lmfao
@@devinjones4946 perhaps
It is not possible to click that fast. :)
I'm expecting ScavAteMyLegs to reply to this comment
@@KevinTan Yep just waiting for him lmao.
Glad that Pestily made the thumbnail, the other two, although great streamers, have only recently joined the ranks of Tarkov players.
Yea bc they are all cash grabbers, as soon as fortnite dropped below tarkov all the "big dudes" started playing Tarkov
@@dodo19821 I mean, that's the smart thing to do and they seem to be enjoying the game so I don't see any harm in it.
Kain Harris the harm in it is the mass influx of players have all but broken the servers that can’t keep up and it gives a great game a bad image to the masses that won’t stay because of this issue
@@dodo19821 What's wrong with that? A game blows up and everybody wants to play, which is a great way for a content creator to support themselves. Even then most of those streamers have stuck with it and brought tons of new players to the game.
@@trevor42699 let the big mass leave again in the year and a half i played tarkov before it blew up i got exit camped 3 times now every 3 raids there is a exit camper so ye....
1:08 he did think of punching his camera then stopped
hes never punched his camera. he punched his monitor dude
yup xD

No other information needed
Tarkov: being sneaky and getting loot for 40 mins, then being one tapped out of no where and loosing it all...rinse and repeat
Questing,building weapons,market system, hideout upgrading. If that’s all you get out of tarkov. You are playing it wrong.
@@AbysmalEnd but that's how the game goes
MRJ2012 you don’t get one tapped every read though. And raids don’t last 40 mins either.
You better tighten your grip then.
Just squad wiped a 3 man as a solo. Get Gud Nerd.
My old roommate has been playing Tarkov since 2017 and I will never get used to people knowing what Tarkov is.
Bro same, I get how i should be excided tarkov is growing, but it used to be just my thing nobody else knew about and that was fun. Kinda miss when you could remember some people constantly when you went into raids with/against them again and again.
Same i used to follow tarkov before it actually got released. And even then i knew it was gonna be small game whit a dedicated following but now that it's blown up i still cant wrap my head around ppl actually liking and playing it since i never thought ppl would actually like the insane hardcore style the game has
1:21 more hand gestures in 3 seconds than I'll do in this entire year
Normal person: IKEA
TARKOV Players: IDEA
LIDL
normal person: KFC
Nikita: FCK
Middle schoolers: you can't handle the truth!
Whenever I see ikea that always comes to my mind lol
I have been playing this game for more than a year and a half.... my smart watch still warns me that "you may be having a cardiac event". It has taken years off of my life due to stress.
Nikita "you are not supposed to have fun in tarkov" :D says enough
Exactly!!
Which actually is the fun of it!😂😂
From hardcore mode I browser based FPS, "Contract wars" to Escape from tarkov. This game Is perfect.
Dang... i missed playing Contract Wars... but now it is now filled with cheaters and smurfs
4:42 THE BEST
They told me to shoot in the legs
😂😂😂😂
Funny thing about that, if the ADAR has no back sight you have to aim lower than you think, so he was probably shooting the scav in the stomach. which i think the scav was wearing armor, so...
I'm only marginally interested in actually playing the game but booooy do I love watching Shroud and Aculite play it. It's not even just that they're infinitely better players than me (I love their streams in general) it's just more enjoyable for me to watch someone else play the game and play it well. It's too much for me, personally, so I get enjoyment through others. It's the same as me choosing to watch the NHL rather than playing mediocre hockey myself. The former is much more enjoyable, and the latter is much less so.
good point!
I think your analogy of watching the NHL as opposed to playing hockey is spot on to describe why watching other people play video games is entertaining because most people over the age of 30 wouldn't or don't understand why twitch is so popular
@@jacobcelmer4928 yeah, that or something similar, is my go when people can't understand why someone would watch someone else play video games. There's the skill gap, obviously, but frankly I don't have the energy nor the interest to get into a game enough like EFT to make it 'enjoyable' for me.
Watch OperatorDrewski, he's insane that Tarkov, I would say he's better
I love seeing Aculite play the game. Tarkov has a great range of streamers in both skill level and personality.
You nailed this video, you did the Game, Nikita, and Pestily justice. A lot of media outlets have tried and failed to 'explain' Tarkov. Great stuff :)
I have been psyched on this game since I first heard about it and started playing, it is awesome to see the support it's getting right now!!!! And having streamers like Pestily have their time in the light to do what they want is awesome too.
It's crazy how ive been watching this game for years and people to just now notice it and hype it up is crazy. I thought it was always poppin but it's nice to see it get the recognition it deserves.
God bless you, been waiting for this video 😇
I’m so glad for the studio and the streamer. You guys have just convinced me to play tarkov lmao. But for real though, this rage inducing jump scare simulator is surprisingly the subject of a wholesome fucking video lmfao. Love shit like this it gives me such hope for the future of streaming and gaming in general.
"Hardcore players first"
Activision/Blizzard, RIOT and valve
should be taking notes.
They will. Tarkov concept is very good for microtansactions...
@@MrDaliLeo JUMP INTO A GAME WITH TIER 3 GEAR FOR ONLY 4.99 TODAY AND BUY A BOOSTER INCREASING THE LOOT OF THE NPCs YOU KILL FOR 24H
Eh ?
All valve mp games are only balanced for the highest tier.
Haven't played LoL but i would wager the same because it's esport scene is intense
Blizzard/Activision is a trash tier Apple-esque company for scrubs, why would you even expect anything from them
@@goochipoochie valve idk but if there's one thing i can confidently say abt lol is that the balance team is a bunch of preschoolers on crack cocaine
Csgo is quite hardcore compared to other shooters so I think valve shouldn't be in that list
This game is so intense
One of the best things about this game is the ambiance. You'll be looting a toolbox and hear 5 grenades and 200 rounds of ammo dumped a couple of feet from you.
I'm so happy this game is FINALLY getting the attention it deserves
THis is exactly what im lookig for couple weeks ago, and its finaly in me reccomendations, kinda late but still thank u youtube!
The game is great but it s hard to get into. You have to study the ammo charts and weapons mods
There are filters now so that you can filter only mods or bullets that work in any specific weapon.
yeah i've thought about diving it but i don't think I have the patience
@@stranger3606 doesn't change the F SC t that there are different ammo, vest and helmet types
That’s why it’s for hardcore players. We love that shit.
You don't have to study anything, thats what the ammo chart is for, weapon mods you just use the flea market filter. The only thing you need to know are the worth of items and that isn't something you study you just kind of pick it up as you go. The game is complex but you don't NEED to learn anything to enjoy it.
That feeling when you've played this amazing game years ago and it's finally getting popular. New fresh cannon fodder will never know how far we've come ❤️
As someone who has been playing Tarkov since the start is it SO satisfying to see it finally get the recognition it deserves.
It's always horrible when you creeping and see a 5 man with fast mts and fort with val's and m4s it's a very scary feeling yall.
Heh heh I'm in danger
Started playing back in March of last year. Soo glad it’s getting the attention it deserves.
This game is simply amazing!
It's so stressful and difficult, yet you keep coming back to it.
Maybe I'm just masochistic...
I love how I originally played Contract Wars and enjoyed it so much, only to know a few weeks later about the drama on the devs side. This is how I knew about Escape from Tarkov and immediately predicted it will be big, but even I'm surprised it's THIS big.
This title sums up all of tarkov. IRL I suffer from extreme anxiety. I feel the same anxiety playing this game, but somehow it's super addictive and fun.
Short story, the first time I played this game I didn't find that fun, but after I learned about the quest-lines and how to level up it became a hole new experience. And with the constant support of the devs this game keeps surprising even more. Patch 0.12 was a complete game changer as expected.
High key wish this video was longer. Good vid.
I bought this game last year after it began to take off. Seeing the hype begin so big really makes me happy. Although I can't play it very stable on my laptop, I support battlestate and they have my full respect for making such an amazing gamr
buy desktop. laptops always shitty.
I remember hearing about Tarkov a few years ago and I thought it wasn’t really going anywhere and then FINALLY it’s blown up
im a tarkov og, back when i played dayz mod and we talked about this new russian game being developed. first time i saw the way the gun customization worked in a trailer demonstration i thought it was fake. once i realized it wasnt i knew this game would be special. so much care and attention to detail and it really is made for hard core gamers which, but that just means it can be customized, it works well with friends, and it doesnt hold your hand. its awesome to see the game have this kind of popularity because it deserves it.
I remember this game a year or two, it's still like in development. I remember saying that this game is nuts and will be better than H1Z1 and that other zombie survival game.
Best shooter type game I've ever played. Most intensely difficult, stressful yet insanely rewarding game out there.
Quit giving the game hype it's making the servers stressed lol no I'm happy the player base has jumped like 500% in the past month
I never thought this game would take off like it has i don't want to play it but i have watched lots of streamers play it and my discord friends are always playing it good for them with all their success
So glad to finally see a game that deserves its popularity
I’m so glad this game is getting popular. Been playing it for the past year and a half and I’ve been having a blast. With all this new support from the community it’s just an amazing feeling. The feeling of this game is something else man it’s hard to explain if you haven’t played. Anyone who is thinking about getting it, should but understand it’s not like any other FPS in my opinion.
Some of the developers worked on an older game called Contract Wars. A pay-to-win shooter, it was fun if you know how to exploit the right "Skills" on the skill trees paired with underrated weapons.
Ive never played a game that made my heart beat so fast and actually feel a mixture of stress, excitement, and pure adrenaline. This game is unlike any other, i LOVE it
I've been following this game for years and I'm glad it's gaining so much popularity. I hope the developers can keep the hype going
This is a game where you can put the genre "scary" for casual players and "challenging" for hardcore players
dude when I saw veritas go from like 800-2k viewers to hitting 70 something thousand I shat myself, then pestily hit like 130k which just fuckin blew my mind
Basing from the video, that is dev is what makes the gaming industry great. His passion on the game made him successful. I wish he can make that single-player game he always wished.
I bet you Tim Sweeney is salivating at the thought of having exclusivity for it on the Epic Store.Can't wait till it releases on Steam, it will blow up even much more so.
oh god I hope they don't take the epic bait, specifically because they already said the game would be dropping on steam
They are planning for Steam, it's just now they're trying to figure out whether steam will allow BSG to give steam-key to Tarkov buyer pre-Steam or they can only use standalone launcher
Only started playing in 2018, could not get enough
You guys may wanna make video about CIG's pissed off statement against Crytek. Crytek basically lost a case and CIG(Star Citizen's dev) is basically holding on to them to pay the legal fee
Hell yeah I waited for this video to release. So happy the game got the attention it deserves
Finally u have 1M subs You're company deserves it😊
A game that will probably go largely ignored by the big gaming press sites because it's to difficult and it's on PC.
and it has no females in it (except "the rapist") which triggers sjw
I hope Nikita watched this on his big flat screen TV in the office with the whole dev team watching behind him. That man is the most wholesome Russian ever.
i love how i used to watch rhino crunch's youtube vids of tarkov and it was no where near the top on twitch lol. the other day there were some vids about some interview and now tarkov is one of the top twitch games rofl
I love it when games that don't compromise by lowering their mechanics for the lowest common denominator (not gonna name names) explode in support and popularity.
Wtf saw xQc in the thumb and already thought it was him reacting lol
Raphael Cabral it be like that sometimes
PepeLaugh “IM NOT A REACT ANDY”
😂😂😂👌
honestly pro gamr PepeLaugh hour long intros
😂👌REACT HARDER
I literally bought the game two weeks ago after watching summit play this for 5 nights. Its so damn hard but rewarding. So many different ways to play with a flea market and customization. Hope they really bring it together. Such a good slow burn.
Thanks wanted to know where it suddenly came from but the patch explains it, but it does look really good I like it :)
Love the overuse of hand gestures!!!
This guys arms are moving more wildly than a power ranger in the 90’s.... we get it... you are speaking.
What i love about Tarkov is the gun sound, death scream and eat drink animation. Because this game, i drink the milk from the boxes 😂
And eat a sugar
Been watching DrLupo play this game for almost a year now, it's been so good!
bballrcjaguars have you seen dr disrespect play it?
i love the fact that i love this game
been saying for years now that if battlestate could get the game running in just a somewhat decent state that it would be THE streamer game.. and here it is. THE game. shit is art. props to fuckin pest and veritas btw for blowing up.. they've worked hard as shit for the whole tarkov community for years. they fucking earned that shit.
Finally this game hit home
"One bad move and everything is done"
The guy on the screen: Yeah im done
Bought the game 4 days ago. Can´t get enough
This is what video games needed
I hope Operator Drewski also gets some love from them, he has been making some of the best content for Tarkov before it was even famous.
I’ve had tarkov since 2018 I think and It is honestly too addictive but god damn does it feel good when you extract with all your gear and then some
Eft is one of the most entertaining games to watch on twitch
Finally, this game is gaining traction.
I started playing this game 2 years ago when I was doing a rotation in Korea lmao me and my boy brad played the shit out of this game! I’m so happy it’s popular now
I don't know why this game has suddenly gone mainstream recently. I've been playing it since release and never know why people didn't play it. It's been out for I think for years now and I'm glad to see people playing it. Although it's not in it's best condition with a lucky 5 minute queue time it a maximum (I've gotten) 30 minutes. It's still it beta, and the problem before was if was too hard for a lot of people, that is until streamers started started playing it people really liked it.
When finished tarkov will be THE best fps ever made. I have been playing for two and a half years and its only gotten better.
this title explains every game anymore for me loool
This reminds me of how ppl said during WoW Vanilla that naxx was the best instance in the whole game even though only 1% of the playerbase had ever the chance of seeing Naxx.
Tarkov is where the "hardcore" players are and the casuals get kicked to the curb because this game was never meant for them. Thx BSG for following your own vision of how the game should be and not falling for the mainstream shit.
Been watching EFT through thedevildoggamer since 2017 and finally I can play it
*_This is the best PC game today, and I just only play 3 raids while saying this. It's just so intense._*
too many new player don't know how to play the game its boring and easy now =(
Fortnite: I'm the most popular game on twitch
Tarkov: allow us to introduce ourselves
In russian accent
So good
love this game!!!
Thank you
Was my favourite game since 2017
Imagine getting goomba stomped when you goto Interchange by Killa.
Tarkov is so freaking legendary. Dude I dont know how these few dudes pulled it off without big budgets like Cod. Graphic is sikk n detailed n just the idea of it is so original. Somehow, if u cant spawn n keep ur weapons it gets u nervous in every fight n its actually worth it to play safe n stay alive.
So no one gonna talk about Contract Wars.
only the OGs know about Contract Wars
Loved playing that game
:(
Jesus, I remember playing contract wars on kongregate and learning that bsg made it a little after buying tarkov. Shit was surreal.
I like CW but the game sadly pay to win and sometimes unfair to the beginner.
Might wanna mention it’s micro transaction free
so as 14 days money back xDD
TARKOV is the most advanced game imo everything from movement to inventories just everything is sooooooooooo good
this is a sick game when you can actually connect to a match and not sit in a 30 minute queue's. Wait time can be brutal. Hope they expand the servers soon bc rn theres too many players and not enough games.
Can't wait for this game to launch on Steam
Oh, I play that game, I didn’t know it is getting so popular)))
People say there is more to Xqc than raging but that is all I see. He must have much more of those moments than not to have soo much content with literally just *SLAPS KEYBOARD*
Man I remember this game back when FrankieonPCIn1080p played this. Looks so different
