If you haven't, check out the last longform video, the "Escape from Tarkov is not Fun" one. It ties in pretty well with this one. Hope you enjoy the video!
Its good to see that the game has actually had some new life pumped into it. The course it was on before really felt like it was headed for doom but now there is a certain optimism for the games future.
@21:10 what movie is that? It’s not Raid is it? I don’t remember that part. Man the Tarkov movie “Raid 1-5” is sooooooo underrated. Best war movie I’ve seen.
I actually bought the EoD version when it first dropped, because I had a bunch of friends that bought the game, and it looked really cool to me. After having the most horrific start of Tarkov, I found myself often watching others play, and getting more enjoyment from that. The new changes look really interesting, so I might just give it another try.
play spt instead, it's miles better, no cheaters and you don't have to be a 12hr a day streamer to advance through the game, plus the modding is amazing so you can tailor the game to your own playstyle, and there's co-op servers now
for sure give it a go. i bought the game end of december, just before the wipe, and since the wipe i have a chance, game feels fair, i can get kills, i'm at level 43 already in my first wipe. its definietly doable, recoil is amazing too
@@HeavyK78the only other player that can ruin your raid is a someone who uses cheats losing to a more skilled player is a result of you making bad choices you losing a firefight is all on you and the bad decisions that lead to your death
@@idiot2701 uh huh, nothing to do with the dudes playing 80+ hours a week, jacking up flea market prices and hiding in trees that are not supposed to be climbed on. that's my fault lmao
The recoil really makes the game available for many newer players. And I know that may seem bad to veterans. But it's actually a good thing imo cause the game is relatively still hardcore and some things do need to be catered slightly to the new comers because if you don't have new players getting into the game, then the game usually won't sustain itself. Either way great video!
Something important to remember about the recoil changes; they were actually catered to, or implemented because of long time players of the game, not newcomers. The fact that new people are enjoying them is a byproduct! Win-win
for a game that has taken it's realism further and further the recoil system in the game was notoriously horrific that cod had more realistic recoil in the majority of cases
I could never get into EFT because firefights involved me fighting my own character more than the enemy player. Initial few shots would send the gun barrel flying into the ceiling and eventually your PMC would muster up the courage and streght to hold the gun somewhat steady. I am used to FPS games where either I am in full control of the recoil, or have no control at all, but not the weird mix that Tarkov uses. It also felt like you would just get stat-checked by players with modded out guns who could just full spray laserbeam you down. I've recently came back to try out Arena. Ignoring the unbalanced mess that the game is in, the gunplay actually feels good.
I couldnt believe that part. The only people ive seen not care about cheaters were cheaters. Everyone else from the no lifes to the streamers, hate cheaters and don't just give them a pass.
@@theespartanff3188 I've been playing tarkov for like 3 years now and I can still count all the cheaters I encountered on one hand. Central European and Eastern European servers don't seem to have as many cheaters as others say
@@charyou3167 I only care about those who affect me. If someone was cheating but not interfering with me, then I don't care about it. It's as simple as that, there's no need to cry about it for weeks like others do in this community.
With 800 hours in tarkov right now i am still baffled how big tarkov really is and how complex and detailed all the mechanics and maps are. I am still learning new things everyday, with the newly released patch 14 and the new environment changes the game feels so amazing, fresh and fun to play right now.
The learning curve of Tarkov is actually like a learning Rollercoaster. As soon as you feel you’ve figured it out, something changes or you learn about the depth of another mechanic, map, tactic, etc.. and you’re back at the learning phase again
age like raw egg but also like fine wine, people loves the new features and fix they added. the Wine comes from SPT multiplayer mod that recently came out, instead of paying 250 USD for a crappy single player mode, you can now play SPT with mods WITH friends. The live version is the egg as mentioned.
Less recoil, better performance, low tier ammo now kills something and the new map looks dope. They also removed that you can buy high end ammo at traders. You either need to craft them or you play lower tier ammo. Imo It takes the high end grind away and smoothed it out a little. It’s actually fun again to go in raids solo just playing around. Good job
literally nothing like it. I've put more hours into this game than I have any other game. Even during the "rocky years", it still put a smile on my face.
I've been playing for almost 8 whole years now and the largest thing from then when there was only Factory and armor covered your whole torso to now is that the game is so much more accessible to everyone. Clambering, the Recoil, the stamina, weight and inertia, damage system, and so much more is now more "casual". That is a very good thing in my opinion because it's effortless to actually play the game now and you can concentrate on the MMO aspects which is player leveling, trader leveling, missions, learning maps and spawns and such. Also I'd argue it shot into slight popularity when frankieonpcin1080p first covered it in 2018 and then soared in the rivals event.
Franke did draw a lot of attention to the game, still being on mainstream attention due to his DayZ series at the time. He has a clever way of weaving stories in his videos, whether or not the details of those stories ever truly happened. This makes for great content to the viewer, but also has a frequent habit of misinforming them of what is actually going on. He structured his showcase of the game under the impression that it was open world with a full day / night cycle, where he was waiting for day and night to pass in realtime in-game before moving around the map. In reality he filmed the same map three different times at different times of day in offline mode. He also claimed to kill players, when he was only killing Scavs the entire time. I love Frankie for the nostalgia factor, but it's painful to go back and watch his old content knowing how much he cheated and misinformed people in his videos just to craft his "narratives."
@edgarnoriegavespa3625 yeah man haha. I love the game. I play other stuff too though and I skip the seasons of tarkov I don't like. For example I missed like 4 wipes between streets and such. Then played streets launch and slipped 2 more. But at first all I did was play all day every day.
@zennangnath hahaha I'm glad you knew the exact video. Watching it now (and even back once I learned the game) the video is very misleading haha but he was the master of that. Didn't he go on to become a lawyer? How ironic haha. Yeah his videos were SUPER staged but nobody cared at first. But he would cheat, stage, and get help like crazy on top of misleading the audience. But in the interest of art it was beautiful.
Tarkov, always keeps amazing me. There is no game like it. And thats why i always come back to it. Best Wipe ever and its amazing how much blood sweat and tears were put into it.
Had the game since 2017, played a few wipes usually every couple years. This is the first time I've got flea and the most fun I've had since I bought it. The recoil improvements are massive plus the snow is cool. 😂
@@epimeno9146 Its such a grind to get it though. I have like 150 hours in the game myself and I have never unlocked the flea market. Closest Ive ever come was lvl 14.
@@epimeno9146 nah, modern flea is shit. Flea was actually meaningful when it was a level5 unlock with no FiR bullshit, task locked items & blacklisted nonsense
I **really** hope they add an official single player option. SPT AKI has brought up my enjoyment of Tarkov up so much because I don’t need to worry about a lot, I can just play Tarkov. Sucks being stuck in .13 still tho lmao
4000 hours pain fun and everything in between and lots of content consumed around it and this is hands down one of the best put together videos ive ever seen. Game still has its things and stuff that needs fixing but truely is in a place where it feels almost new again to someone even like me, hope you continue to enjoy the wipe like the rest of us and keep making great content.
Tarkov is easily the most immersive gaming experience I've ever had. And as an older gamer who doesn't really enjoy the fast-paced silliness of most popular FPS games any more, its hard to overstate how well Tarkov suits me. I do tend to play the way some would categorize as "ratting" but to me it's more like roleplaying. I play the game and make decisions based on what I would do or how I would react if I were actually in the situation IRL. I dont sprint into combat, I stop and gather audio information when I hear something and I push when I feel i have an advantage. I feel like this game rewards (most of the time) my specific playstyle and I freaking love it. Heck, sometimes I ever roleplay as Sam Fisher ;)
I was that person who would watch and could never bring myself to play. Now many wikis and many videos later I'm finally playing and learning. This is the new main game for me. Hopefully for a long time to come. Nice video!
I must say this hits it perfectly on the head. Played the game again in the last 2-3 days without knowledge of the patches, still a noob. Found myself actively engaging enemies, getting more kills per game, playing more aggressively. Killed a PMC who was heavily armoured and with some nice rifles too. I managed to get him with only an aks-74u, never happened before.
Incredible video. I've been wanting to articulate why I absolutely LOVE Tarkov to my friends who constantly hear my complaining of the pain I have with the struggle of the lows the game gives me. They don't understand how I can put myself up to the hardship but there's just something about the game I cannot let go of. The freedom, the struggle and the catharsis of survival and triumph is what makes the game so incredible to me. This wipe I've been playing the game non-stop and my friends just don't understand why I play it. Eventually I'll find others who enjoy it just as much as I do and I'll hopefully be able to enjoy it with others who enjoy it just the same.
Because of the recoil, servers, and cheaters I stuck to SPT-AKI for about 2 years. I had no one to help me do quests and just couldn’t enjoy live servers enough to teach myself. This is my first wipe coming back to live and I’ve been very much enjoying it. There’s been hiccups here and there but for the most part it’s been a great experience.
Congrats on your channel rising. You do well at articulation and pacing. Remember TH-cam likes to separate shorts and long videos though, two different types of subscribers that aren’t even intertwined, algorithm is a bitch for channels that are shorts and long videos.
In regard to the killcam feature. Arena killcam did one thing I didn’t think it would at first. It CLEARLY displays what had always been the most frustrating thing in Tarkov to me… “peakers advantage” or lag compensation.
I bought this Game Maybe like 2 years ago and never played more than 3 Days, I always gave up on it. But this wipe is amazing. I can finally play long enough on a map actually to learn something and get better. Felt So good when I solo’ed a duo of lvl 20+ as a lvl 5 newbie!!
Wow I havnt sat here and watched a 30 minute video in a long time. Your content is so engaging and I can’t keep my eyes off the screen while you narrate . Good stuff!
DUDE your content is so captivating in a way that not many other content creators can match. The way you edit and use the in game resources is just so entertaining to watch! I look forward to seeing just how much your channel will grow, not only that, but you have been KILLING it on TikTok. Keep doing what you're doing, you've earned another sub!
Beautifully crafted video! The little cuts to funny gameplay moments, great visuals and incredibly well structured and narrated script made this super enjoyable to watch. Youre highlighting a lot of aspects about Tarkov that I've personally felt make it so special for the longest time and I dont see discussed very often. Hats off, really impressive work! I am also having a ton of fun this wipe and am very optimistic for the games future for the first time in a long time. "All might Unity. God help us." o7 Sidenote: I love how obviously inexperienced Nikita is in public relations. I doubt anyone with formal training in that area would say stuff like "It actually kinda frightens me". In an industry thats increasingly dominated by empty corporate statements and buzzwords that makes me have so much more respekt for Nikita and BSG.
Thank you! I also agree, part of the reason I love BSG is that they are so clearly just passionate people doing what they love, true indie developers. Nikita has some insane quotes lol.
I’m a new subscriber via your Shorts but I thoroughly enjoyed this video! The quality of editing and assessment is top notch. I’m looking forward to future content! Thank you!
Bro, for someone who mentions theyve only been making Tarkov content for half a year at this point, you nail it! The content you make is super engaging and fun to watch. I'll definitely keep following you as you continue your adventure!
I started playing in the start of 2020 and haven’t been able to find something that gives me the same highest of highs when you complete 3-4 quests,make it out with somewhere around 1-2 million rubles worth of gear and loot, and had a good gunfight with a few PMCs. When I first got it I played it for maybe a week then set it down, half a year later at the start of the next wipe I was playing with a new group of friends and well I’m almost at 1500 hours now and I still have yet to find something that scratches the itch I have for games like this. Ive never been into ranked modes on let’s say COd for instance because it feels like the you’re doing the same thing over and over and over again. Same meta guns, same rotates, same mindset. In tarkov I can use something that isn’t considered meta, much like a bolt action or even this wipe, a pistol and still find success as much as I would if I was running a meta HK with M855A1. The quests that make me use things outside of my comfort zone is probably the thing that keeps the game as fresh as it does for me. Right now I’m on Punisher - Part 6 using the SVD and it’s been a good change of pace since I’ve been using T-5000s getting SBIH about halfway done. There really isn’t a game like this, one that I can make money and run whatever the hell I want and still be very successful raid to raid. Hoping to see what Grey Zone Warfare brings to the table when that comes out in EA maybe sometime this year.
This is the first wipe I've actually felt I can use low level weapons. I only get to play a few hours a week so I've never progressed past level 2 traders or had real access to 'meta' weapons and kit. Last wipe I literally couldn't complete Stirrup because by the time I got to that quest, everyone was running around Factory with ASH-12's and Slicks, absolutely outclassing me and my TT pistol. This is the first wipe I've killed anyone with a pistol, it's made the whole game seem actually possible to play and I really enjoy that.
I wonder once you actually escape from tarkov, what would happen next. Maybe a "new" pmc finds your old stash, but you have a random amount of stuff because scavs broke in and looted it. This could be like a prestige system or something along those lines
I honestly wanted to comment so many different times throughout this video, such a well said, thorough upload, you've earned my sub and it's refreshing to know there's other ones out there like us that love this game and understand it's vision. I started playing this game the same wipe as the addition of lighthouse. Once I started playing and getting up to flea for the first time, I realized just how special this game is and honestly wouldn't pick up any other game for the longest because of the peak I was feeling in Tarkov's combat and feeling of reward. Repetition started to get to me after a few wipes and I became a "watcher" instead of a player. Now being back for this wipe and skipping the previous one, I couldn't ever suspect how special it feels again. Big W from BSG and I can't wait to see what's in store for the future of Tarkov.
AWESOME video man. Thanks for recapping the crazy journey we have all been on and highlighting what is going so well, and not so well. Love your content. Keep it up!!
I've been playing for almost 5 years at this point and the game always had some good wipes and some mediocre ones but never really bad ones. My biggest win this wipe so far is: It has never rained once since the wipe at the end of 2023! I can't remember the patch number but there was a wipe once where it literally rained the entire first week of a wipe so that BSG literally had to change the weather because people were pissed...
There's no drug in the world that can replace the feeling of the adrenaline rush you get after defeating squads in Tarkov. Started playing in January 2022 as well and I've never looked back, hands down the best current FPS game.
I think it's insane how this video hits so close to home. I'm about 700 hours into the game and I still got a good quarter of the game to learn. You also described exactly how I felt that led me to stop playing Tarkov until patch 0.14, where the grind was genuinely satisfying despite the hardships being harder than any video game I've played, yet it was addicting. However, you do eventually get sick of it when you can't compete with higher level players, or even worse, starting mid/late wipe. You quite literally get sick of it, you hop on for couple raids only to get destroyed by people who have been playing since early wipe, it's not fun at all especially when you spend so much time outside of the game (prepping PMC and loading times). Tarkov has slimmed the gear gap within players, it's so much more enjoyable now.
13:28 Thats precisely why the update to the armor was a step in the right direction. It was simply a balancing issue. Before it was the no lifers dominating over the casuals. It might still be that way to a degree, arguably, but its nice to know my chances of winning an engagement with someone that has better gear is on a more level playing field.
When I was testing the armor/recoil/movement changes in the ETS I had a feeling we were in for a good time - my expectations were blown out of the water! Feels like my first wipe again and I'm really enjoying suffering in Tarkov this wipe
Joined the wipe before this and by god do I see improvement. For some reason I just could not land sprays before and I didnt understand why. Something just felt off, but with the update, everything has changed and in maybe 50 hours, my enjoyment and skill at the game feels 10x better than before. Obviously recoil isnt the only factor but BSG really did something to this wipe and it feels amazing
I have about 3500 hours played and i started whatever wipe they expanded customs. I have a love hate relationship with this game but man the highs are so high that grinding through the lows feels worth it. This wipe is for sure my best stat wise and i am winning a good majority of my gunfights! I knew this day would come, that's what i told myself when i first started. I could never be bothered about opinions i don't agree with on this game, It's helping me get through alcohol addiction and very life changing cirumstances in 2023. I am very sad but not when i kit up get in raid and start fighting for my pmcs life. I genuinely feel like i'll die when this game does, as stupid as that sounds. I want nothing but success for my favorite game.
Just started playing like 2 weeks ago. Awesome game so far, love the real guns and gun parts. Having dual monitors is must when you're first starting out so you can have the maps up on your 2nd monitor, so you know where tf you're going. lol....I just wish they put a mini map with the exfil locations but then again that's what makes it harder. Arena is pretty cool too.
It's weird. I've had this game since 2019, that's 6 years. I've accumulated thousands of hours of gameplay in this game yet I'd always end up leaving out of extreme burnout and stress. But... weirdly this wipe seems different. I'm not sure if its how I've been approaching the quests, or that maybe I've just grown as a person and can take more in from the gameplay and put that back into how I interact with it, since it has been 2 years since I last played Tarkov. It's been so long and so much has been added that I feel like a new player again, yet with all the knowledge I already had. I used to despise the quests in this game, but recently the quests I once hated with a passion are now... FUN to do. I'm not sure why, perhaps it's just my approach and outlook onto how to play and learn from the quests of Tarkov. I used to be a scav main. Too scared to play alone I'd join an LFG server and play with a 3 or 4 man. This wipe I've opted to play alone. I haven't played a single game with others, and I feel myself improving. When you play solo and only PMC, you take everything in and waste no time. If I have any advice for new players, don't rely on your scav. Learn the maps and let the quests help guide you regarding that. Overcome the fear of playing alone, don't rely on playing in groups.
Nice! Sounds like you got over the learning hump. I had essentially the same arc back in 2022- stopped scavving and just mained solo PMC for like 800 hours. That’s when I really started to love the game.
Watching this video for the first time AFTER the unheard drama hurts... I hope BSG can pull back from this, cuz I love SPT! But I still want the game to be completed.
When you said how lower level players felt like they had to rat previously to win fights, I really felt that. I’ve only played like 3 or 4 wipes now off and on (cos of university) so I’m still really new to the game, and back when I first got it, I was pretty miserable and struggled to enjoy Tarkov, even though I really wanted to like the game, because the learning curve was so high, alongside the great disparity in survival chances when pitted against a higher level pmc, as you mentioned. However, these past two wipes, especially this current one, I’ve found myself really liking Tarkov. It feels a lot better to me as a newer player and the changes that they’ve made to the game have allowed me to learn a lot more about the game in a shorter span of time than I could in previous wipes. Now fights feel more fair than before (for the most part), and I don’t feel the need to rat/hide until the coast is clear or I’m forced to ambush a pmc, cos those were the only really viable options I had previously in order to progress quests, get loot, and just survive in general. So while I don’t have many hours at all and am 100% a Timmy with only ~350 hours in the game that may be talking out of his ass, I do agree with you that I feel like, personally, BSG has made good changes over all to Tarkov, and I’m actually quite excited to see what the next year brings to the game
im currently playing with a couple new players starting fresh this wipe, i made them focus on improving while i did all the thinking for them at least until level 15. after that i made them run solo raids while i watched to give quick tips about locations they were in or what positions to take when they reach them, but stayed Silent when they fought so i can see their brains working. one cleaned up interchange like it was candy, wiping out lvls 40+ with ease. the other was running factory like a maniac hunting tagilla for his armor plates with found in raid ammo we cant buy on the flea. that sesh was amazing. and now after watching them work i can identify where we might struggle to work together as a team in certain situations, whether i should push a spot alone and have them flank or hold, or if i can trust them to go full "WE BALL" mode and we slaughter shit, which has already been happening so im so grateful to have teammates that trust me and trust i wont tell them to do anything i wouldnt do 10 times before and after.
I've been playing Tarkov since 2018. I do play other games and there were many wipes where I either didnt play al all or just played it on the side but this wipe has firmly solidified it as my main game. I cant get enough.
Old tarkov felt so bad as a low level bc I knew how many fights I could’ve won if the game felt better shooting wise and now I feel like I can take on the world with this new recoil, now I still think it shouldn’t take so many hours just to unlock flea and be able to build a gun how you like, I feel like any weapon you can buy at level 1 should be able to be kitted out well early
Started playing this game again a couple days ago and haven't been able to drop it. I didnt even know that this year will have so many changes, I really look forward to full release whenever that is ! (Salute)
You are spot on about the early game pvp this patch. I still like to play like a sneaky boy, but I have absolutely taken fights that I would have avoided in previous wipes because it just feels better now.
At this point in the game you, you can run stock weapons, with mid level ammo, and put up a fight against anyone if you know how to shoot and position yourself. You are obviously at a disadvantage, but it's viable. It's an amazing change
As someone with 900+ hours, good recoil brought me back. There is no sense in giving no lifers good weapon recoil for modding the hell out of their guns we already have to struggle with shit ammo as casual players at the start. This video was great and touched on everything i agree with.
been through the game's cycle since alpha, haven't played this wipe yet as trying other games out atm but theres always been a charm that draws me back
I am an OG player who loved EFT for 2 or 3 years then hated it after the flea market and labs were released, stopped playing it during covid and just got back in for .14 I will say this is the best wipe since .7 (the 1st wipe for those who were not around prewipes), new maps, no dsync, gun parts readily available to build your gun from FiR loot, the early game has been extended now all we need to experience is the mid to late game to see if we still get back end errors with all the loot people have.
My problem is i cant stop. The voip, the gun play, seeing my numbers go up and down, and of course the VIBES. I fucking love this game. No matter how bad it gets lol
As a hard-stuck level 10 myself I found myself telling myself that every time I died it was because my gear. My puny PP-19 with no full auto capability and peas for ammo could never have a chance at even scratching tier 4 or higher armor. I always thought that I just couldn't compete with everyone who dedicates most time to playing Tarkov. With the new update and more training I find that I stand a chance with these lower level guns. I find myself saying that if only I played the situation better or if only I had reacted sooner I would've won. Now I feel like I stand an actual chance at getting better and having successful raids. The new recoil and armor rework really helps those who are newer and less experienced. And to those who are veterans it doesn't matter. They are used to recoil being near zero with their meta builds and they would get ripped anyway by some stray AP ammo. This balance patch helped cross the gap between being totally hopeless to having a chance at survival.
Great video with a very accurate view on where we are. The two main issues remaining for me: performance and the wipe itself. The performance still needs to be improved. And we need to get rid of the wipe at some point. It was originally a necessity of the game and patch system but it’s hurting the casual gamer so much.
The biggest problem I see with cheaters is, that I adapdet to them, and this overall makes the game experience and how a raid plays out just unnatural. I hear a sound and I wiggle in that direction, suddenly the other dude voips because he saw me trough the wall wiggle. I tend to run low end gear or guns, so I'm not as interresting to the cheaters. Also I always bring a double barrel with two rip rounds for their legs. I tend to not pick up high value loot, if I do not absolutely need it, again to not be of interrest for cheaters. This works qiet well to keep them away, but then still, they highly affekt how the raid plays out, because bosses and guard are dead in the first 10 minutes, or valuable rooms are still locked but completely empty. Just unnatural, and no fun.
Salute! Thanks for the review, glad to see, I'm not the only one not so concerned about cheaters. BTW, the patch allows to view your killer stats, not a replay, but still helps to see if it was a sus gigachad or just a lucky timmy.
i started tarkov in 2019. 6.5k hours. played every wipe since reserve came out. this game is fucking amazing even with all of its issues. also your content screams that youve been playing the game for alot longer than just a year or so. keep up the good work dude. and for those that complain... look for the good not the bad.
This is my first wipe and your content has helped me quite a lot. I love this game, even when i get domed with the 3 salewas i need in my backpack. The only thing they could do is optimise it better and update the code to catch Vacuumers.
As someone who is fairly new at 500 hours and has played a little bit over a few wipes this is truly the wipe that even post early game has made me have alot of fun, I really feel like I can use guns for drip and besides the snow that questions my sanity I have pumped probably 100~ hours in just this wipe
the answer to the "why care about cheaters" question that it literally sets me back hours sometimes because im not a meta runner and dont have a disposable tarkov income.
Honestly the armor rework was what got me into EFT. Was a hardcore tactical shooter genre slave for years and was looking for something a bit more hardcore. slipping a low pen high damage round trough an armpit or throat gap on a chad feels so fucking good.
I just came back to this game after a year and two, no idea there were patches of any sort, game feels amazing. Looking forward to playing more of it tbh
My attention span is usually 5min. But i ended up watching the whole video in one sitting without me realizing. Amazing work on this video. Subscribed.
If you haven't, check out the last longform video, the "Escape from Tarkov is not Fun" one. It ties in pretty well with this one. Hope you enjoy the video!
your long form shit is the stuff i LOVE and need from the tarkov community. YOu're my new fav tarkie tuber tbh
Please don't use "fps 1" it decreases fps by about 20-30, use external, for example: msi afterburner overlay. (source: Nikita himself)
Its still incredibly worse than it was in 2019-2020.

same, not much has changed. streamers and no lifes still ruin raids lol
play spt instead, it's miles better, no cheaters and you don't have to be a 12hr a day streamer to advance through the game, plus the modding is amazing so you can tailor the game to your own playstyle, and there's co-op servers now
for sure give it a go. i bought the game end of december, just before the wipe, and since the wipe i have a chance, game feels fair, i can get kills, i'm at level 43 already in my first wipe. its definietly doable, recoil is amazing too
@@HeavyK78the only other player that can ruin your raid is a someone who uses cheats losing to a more skilled player is a result of you making bad choices you losing a firefight is all on you and the bad decisions that lead to your death
@@idiot2701 uh huh, nothing to do with the dudes playing 80+ hours a week, jacking up flea market prices and hiding in trees that are not supposed to be climbed on. that's my fault lmao
The recoil really makes the game available for many newer players. And I know that may seem bad to veterans. But it's actually a good thing imo cause the game is relatively still hardcore and some things do need to be catered slightly to the new comers because if you don't have new players getting into the game, then the game usually won't sustain itself. Either way great video!
Something important to remember about the recoil changes; they were actually catered to, or implemented because of long time players of the game, not newcomers. The fact that new people are enjoying them is a byproduct! Win-win
for a game that has taken it's realism further and further the recoil system in the game was notoriously horrific that cod had more realistic recoil in the majority of cases
Honestly, this easier recoil system is way more realistic, before the update the guns acted as if the first round was .50BMG and not .556...
I could never get into EFT because firefights involved me fighting my own character more than the enemy player. Initial few shots would send the gun barrel flying into the ceiling and eventually your PMC would muster up the courage and streght to hold the gun somewhat steady. I am used to FPS games where either I am in full control of the recoil, or have no control at all, but not the weird mix that Tarkov uses. It also felt like you would just get stat-checked by players with modded out guns who could just full spray laserbeam you down.
I've recently came back to try out Arena. Ignoring the unbalanced mess that the game is in, the gunplay actually feels good.
I simply cannot play because I die instantly in every fight, so idk how good it is for new players
"Why care about cheaters" has to be the most unhinged and psychotic take I have ever heard.
I couldnt believe that part. The only people ive seen not care about cheaters were cheaters. Everyone else from the no lifes to the streamers, hate cheaters and don't just give them a pass.
@@theespartanff3188 I've been playing tarkov for like 3 years now and I can still count all the cheaters I encountered on one hand. Central European and Eastern European servers don't seem to have as many cheaters as others say
@@MilkIsTheDrink Trust me, you have seen more
@@MilkIsTheDrinkthat you know of. esp is like impossible to know if the other person is using it unless you are as well.
@@charyou3167 I only care about those who affect me. If someone was cheating but not interfering with me, then I don't care about it. It's as simple as that, there's no need to cry about it for weeks like others do in this community.
With 800 hours in tarkov right now i am still baffled how big tarkov really is and how complex and detailed all the mechanics and maps are. I am still learning new things everyday, with the newly released patch 14 and the new environment changes the game feels so amazing, fresh and fun to play right now.
The learning curve of Tarkov is actually like a learning Rollercoaster. As soon as you feel you’ve figured it out, something changes or you learn about the depth of another mechanic, map, tactic, etc.. and you’re back at the learning phase again
Need to pump those numbers up. 😂
age like raw egg but also like fine wine, people loves the new features and fix they added. the Wine comes from SPT multiplayer mod that recently came out, instead of paying 250 USD for a crappy single player mode, you can now play SPT with mods WITH friends. The live version is the egg as mentioned.
Less recoil, better performance, low tier ammo now kills something and the new map looks dope. They also removed that you can buy high end ammo at traders. You either need to craft them or you play lower tier ammo. Imo It takes the high end grind away and smoothed it out a little. It’s actually fun again to go in raids solo just playing around. Good job
They really made some genuinely great changes/additions this update. I’m very , very impressed.
AND they put more high tier ammo in the maps to find.
Tarkov is truly the best it's ever been at the moment
i get kill only by BP/BS/Bt 3 days into the wipe, i find stacks of AP every raid, way to many random high end miitary bullet laying around.
You can buy high tier ammo from traders.. most of it is quest locked tho
@@jAmzye What high tier ammo can you buy from traders??? 556A1?
As an old-head in this game I really enjoyed the comparison of new and old players perspectives and feelings. Well done, subbed!
literally nothing like it. I've put more hours into this game than I have any other game. Even during the "rocky years", it still put a smile on my face.
well, there is Ghosts of Tabor… which is pretty much a VR adaptation of Tarkov.
I've been playing for almost 8 whole years now and the largest thing from then when there was only Factory and armor covered your whole torso to now is that the game is so much more accessible to everyone. Clambering, the Recoil, the stamina, weight and inertia, damage system, and so much more is now more "casual". That is a very good thing in my opinion because it's effortless to actually play the game now and you can concentrate on the MMO aspects which is player leveling, trader leveling, missions, learning maps and spawns and such.
Also I'd argue it shot into slight popularity when frankieonpcin1080p first covered it in 2018 and then soared in the rivals event.
Franke did draw a lot of attention to the game, still being on mainstream attention due to his DayZ series at the time. He has a clever way of weaving stories in his videos, whether or not the details of those stories ever truly happened. This makes for great content to the viewer, but also has a frequent habit of misinforming them of what is actually going on. He structured his showcase of the game under the impression that it was open world with a full day / night cycle, where he was waiting for day and night to pass in realtime in-game before moving around the map. In reality he filmed the same map three different times at different times of day in offline mode. He also claimed to kill players, when he was only killing Scavs the entire time.
I love Frankie for the nostalgia factor, but it's painful to go back and watch his old content knowing how much he cheated and misinformed people in his videos just to craft his "narratives."
Dude, 8 years?? Lmao
@edgarnoriegavespa3625 yeah man haha. I love the game. I play other stuff too though and I skip the seasons of tarkov I don't like. For example I missed like 4 wipes between streets and such. Then played streets launch and slipped 2 more. But at first all I did was play all day every day.
@zennangnath hahaha I'm glad you knew the exact video. Watching it now (and even back once I learned the game) the video is very misleading haha but he was the master of that. Didn't he go on to become a lawyer? How ironic haha.
Yeah his videos were SUPER staged but nobody cared at first. But he would cheat, stage, and get help like crazy on top of misleading the audience. But in the interest of art it was beautiful.
I mean, the game didnt come out in 2016@@Snulge
Tarkov, always keeps amazing me. There is no game like it. And thats why i always come back to it. Best Wipe ever and its amazing how much blood sweat and tears were put into it.
aged like milk sadly 😔
What do all of these comments mean?.
@@RageDuck0 that something bad happened after the video, aged milk becomes sour so it doesnt taste better but a lot worse
@@icicle4829 it would help if you listed the souring event for the poor guy
was playin SPT, and hearing about this sudden move by BSG felt like any game w/o a competition "we had to suffer"
What happened? I don’t play Tarkov so I don’t lnoe
Had the game since 2017, played a few wipes usually every couple years. This is the first time I've got flea and the most fun I've had since I bought it. The recoil improvements are massive plus the snow is cool. 😂
You're not really playing the game till you got the flea market
@@epimeno9146 Its such a grind to get it though. I have like 150 hours in the game myself and I have never unlocked the flea market. Closest Ive ever come was lvl 14.
@@epimeno9146 nah, modern flea is shit.
Flea was actually meaningful when it was a level5 unlock with no FiR bullshit, task locked items & blacklisted nonsense
I **really** hope they add an official single player option. SPT AKI has brought up my enjoyment of Tarkov up so much because I don’t need to worry about a lot, I can just play Tarkov.
Sucks being stuck in .13 still tho lmao
4000 hours pain fun and everything in between and lots of content consumed around it and this is hands down one of the best put together videos ive ever seen. Game still has its things and stuff that needs fixing but truely is in a place where it feels almost new again to someone even like me, hope you continue to enjoy the wipe like the rest of us and keep making great content.
Tarkov is easily the most immersive gaming experience I've ever had. And as an older gamer who doesn't really enjoy the fast-paced silliness of most popular FPS games any more, its hard to overstate how well Tarkov suits me. I do tend to play the way some would categorize as "ratting" but to me it's more like roleplaying. I play the game and make decisions based on what I would do or how I would react if I were actually in the situation IRL. I dont sprint into combat, I stop and gather audio information when I hear something and I push when I feel i have an advantage. I feel like this game rewards (most of the time) my specific playstyle and I freaking love it. Heck, sometimes I ever roleplay as Sam Fisher ;)
You should try Fornite , you can play as Peter Griffin from Family Guy now
@@TheWill383 🤣
its a video game, not a simulation. Play to have fun without caring. Go volunteer to fight in the middle east if you want to do irl shit.
I was that person who would watch and could never bring myself to play. Now many wikis and many videos later I'm finally playing and learning. This is the new main game for me. Hopefully for a long time to come. Nice video!
That’s awesome to hear! Good luck out there
I must say this hits it perfectly on the head. Played the game again in the last 2-3 days without knowledge of the patches, still a noob. Found myself actively engaging enemies, getting more kills per game, playing more aggressively. Killed a PMC who was heavily armoured and with some nice rifles too. I managed to get him with only an aks-74u, never happened before.
Well, the AKS-74U is actually one of the objectively best guns in the game 😅
@@riloegaming Let the dude have his moment.
@@sprocastersprocaster sorry 😂 you’re right
this is one of the best critique's of tarkov i have seen. definitely going to check out more of your vids.
thanks!
This game is in the best state its ever been for the average player? I wonder why people like it more.
Incredible video. I've been wanting to articulate why I absolutely LOVE Tarkov to my friends who constantly hear my complaining of the pain I have with the struggle of the lows the game gives me. They don't understand how I can put myself up to the hardship but there's just something about the game I cannot let go of. The freedom, the struggle and the catharsis of survival and triumph is what makes the game so incredible to me. This wipe I've been playing the game non-stop and my friends just don't understand why I play it. Eventually I'll find others who enjoy it just as much as I do and I'll hopefully be able to enjoy it with others who enjoy it just the same.
Perfect description of tarkov and its history. Great video. Thanks for this.
🙏🙏
23:40 cycle frontier sound track loved that game
This video is perfect. Not too flashy gives just the needed info and like daymn very well edited!
Because of the recoil, servers, and cheaters I stuck to SPT-AKI for about 2 years. I had no one to help me do quests and just couldn’t enjoy live servers enough to teach myself. This is my first wipe coming back to live and I’ve been very much enjoying it. There’s been hiccups here and there but for the most part it’s been a great experience.
This video is definitively your best yet, hats off to you bro.
PS: Salute!
🫡🫡🫡
Congrats on your channel rising. You do well at articulation and pacing. Remember TH-cam likes to separate shorts and long videos though, two different types of subscribers that aren’t even intertwined, algorithm is a bitch for channels that are shorts and long videos.
Ive had this game for 2-3 years now and this is the first wipe ive REALLY been playing it.
In regard to the killcam feature. Arena killcam did one thing I didn’t think it would at first. It CLEARLY displays what had always been the most frustrating thing in Tarkov to me… “peakers advantage” or lag compensation.
I bought this Game Maybe like 2 years ago and never played more than 3 Days, I always gave up on it. But this wipe is amazing. I can finally play long enough on a map actually to learn something and get better. Felt So good when I solo’ed a duo of lvl 20+ as a lvl 5 newbie!!
Wow I havnt sat here and watched a 30 minute video in a long time. Your content is so engaging and I can’t keep my eyes off the screen while you narrate . Good stuff!
That’s so awesome to hear, thank you!
DUDE your content is so captivating in a way that not many other content creators can match. The way you edit and use the in game resources is just so entertaining to watch! I look forward to seeing just how much your channel will grow, not only that, but you have been KILLING it on TikTok. Keep doing what you're doing, you've earned another sub!
Thank you!
Not to mention the lack of constantly trying to get you to buy some bullsh*t. My favorite game right now hands down.
Beautifully crafted video! The little cuts to funny gameplay moments, great visuals and incredibly well structured and narrated script made this super enjoyable to watch. Youre highlighting a lot of aspects about Tarkov that I've personally felt make it so special for the longest time and I dont see discussed very often. Hats off, really impressive work!
I am also having a ton of fun this wipe and am very optimistic for the games future for the first time in a long time. "All might Unity. God help us." o7
Sidenote: I love how obviously inexperienced Nikita is in public relations. I doubt anyone with formal training in that area would say stuff like "It actually kinda frightens me". In an industry thats increasingly dominated by empty corporate statements and buzzwords that makes me have so much more respekt for Nikita and BSG.
Thank you! I also agree, part of the reason I love BSG is that they are so clearly just passionate people doing what they love, true indie developers. Nikita has some insane quotes lol.
So beautiful typographics and clips. I love how hopeful this video made me over a game
I’m a new subscriber via your Shorts but I thoroughly enjoyed this video! The quality of editing and assessment is top notch. I’m looking forward to future content! Thank you!
brooo I agree with Nikitia on metas, it honestly stops people from just exploring and enjoying the game, not just running to "the best"
Bro, for someone who mentions theyve only been making Tarkov content for half a year at this point, you nail it! The content you make is super engaging and fun to watch. I'll definitely keep following you as you continue your adventure!
Hey thank you, glad you like it!
I started playing in the start of 2020 and haven’t been able to find something that gives me the same highest of highs when you complete 3-4 quests,make it out with somewhere around 1-2 million rubles worth of gear and loot, and had a good gunfight with a few PMCs. When I first got it I played it for maybe a week then set it down, half a year later at the start of the next wipe I was playing with a new group of friends and well I’m almost at 1500 hours now and I still have yet to find something that scratches the itch I have for games like this.
Ive never been into ranked modes on let’s say COd for instance because it feels like the you’re doing the same thing over and over and over again. Same meta guns, same rotates, same mindset. In tarkov I can use something that isn’t considered meta, much like a bolt action or even this wipe, a pistol and still find success as much as I would if I was running a meta HK with M855A1.
The quests that make me use things outside of my comfort zone is probably the thing that keeps the game as fresh as it does for me. Right now I’m on Punisher - Part 6 using the SVD and it’s been a good change of pace since I’ve been using T-5000s getting SBIH about halfway done.
There really isn’t a game like this, one that I can make money and run whatever the hell I want and still be very successful raid to raid. Hoping to see what Grey Zone Warfare brings to the table when that comes out in EA maybe sometime this year.
This is the first wipe I've actually felt I can use low level weapons. I only get to play a few hours a week so I've never progressed past level 2 traders or had real access to 'meta' weapons and kit. Last wipe I literally couldn't complete Stirrup because by the time I got to that quest, everyone was running around Factory with ASH-12's and Slicks, absolutely outclassing me and my TT pistol. This is the first wipe I've killed anyone with a pistol, it's made the whole game seem actually possible to play and I really enjoy that.
Pistols got MASSIVELY buffed across the board, which is cool bc there are so many fun mods for them that no one ever uses. Glad you're enjoying it!
I wonder once you actually escape from tarkov, what would happen next. Maybe a "new" pmc finds your old stash, but you have a random amount of stuff because scavs broke in and looted it. This could be like a prestige system or something along those lines
I honestly wanted to comment so many different times throughout this video, such a well said, thorough upload, you've earned my sub and it's refreshing to know there's other ones out there like us that love this game and understand it's vision. I started playing this game the same wipe as the addition of lighthouse. Once I started playing and getting up to flea for the first time, I realized just how special this game is and honestly wouldn't pick up any other game for the longest because of the peak I was feeling in Tarkov's combat and feeling of reward. Repetition started to get to me after a few wipes and I became a "watcher" instead of a player. Now being back for this wipe and skipping the previous one, I couldn't ever suspect how special it feels again. Big W from BSG and I can't wait to see what's in store for the future of Tarkov.
Thanks for the comment! You started the same wipe as me, 12.12. It’s been a very interesting run and can’t wait to see where it goes!
I like the transparency about your biases. We all have them… and you make really good points. Thanks for the effort!
Cheers!
Title has aged so well 😂😂
I've recently hit 1000hrs and this is my favorite wipe I have ever played (I've played 3 wipes so far). Can't wait to see what comes next.
AWESOME video man. Thanks for recapping the crazy journey we have all been on and highlighting what is going so well, and not so well. Love your content. Keep it up!!
I've been playing for almost 5 years at this point and the game always had some good wipes and some mediocre ones but never really bad ones.
My biggest win this wipe so far is: It has never rained once since the wipe at the end of 2023! I can't remember the patch number but there was a wipe once where it literally rained the entire first week of a wipe so that BSG literally had to change the weather because people were pissed...
this man is so underrated, amazing video.
Ty ❤❤
There's no drug in the world that can replace the feeling of the adrenaline rush you get after defeating squads in Tarkov. Started playing in January 2022 as well and I've never looked back, hands down the best current FPS game.
I think it's insane how this video hits so close to home. I'm about 700 hours into the game and I still got a good quarter of the game to learn.
You also described exactly how I felt that led me to stop playing Tarkov until patch 0.14, where the grind was genuinely satisfying despite the hardships being harder than any video game I've played, yet it was addicting.
However, you do eventually get sick of it when you can't compete with higher level players, or even worse, starting mid/late wipe. You quite literally get sick of it, you hop on for couple raids only to get destroyed by people who have been playing since early wipe, it's not fun at all especially when you spend so much time outside of the game (prepping PMC and loading times).
Tarkov has slimmed the gear gap within players, it's so much more enjoyable now.
13:28 Thats precisely why the update to the armor was a step in the right direction. It was simply a balancing issue. Before it was the no lifers dominating over the casuals. It might still be that way to a degree, arguably, but its nice to know my chances of winning an engagement with someone that has better gear is on a more level playing field.
When I was testing the armor/recoil/movement changes in the ETS I had a feeling we were in for a good time - my expectations were blown out of the water! Feels like my first wipe again and I'm really enjoying suffering in Tarkov this wipe
Joined the wipe before this and by god do I see improvement. For some reason I just could not land sprays before and I didnt understand why. Something just felt off, but with the update, everything has changed and in maybe 50 hours, my enjoyment and skill at the game feels 10x better than before. Obviously recoil isnt the only factor but BSG really did something to this wipe and it feels amazing
this aged like fine milk
I have about 3500 hours played and i started whatever wipe they expanded customs. I have a love hate relationship with this game but man the highs are so high that grinding through the lows feels worth it. This wipe is for sure my best stat wise and i am winning a good majority of my gunfights! I knew this day would come, that's what i told myself when i first started. I could never be bothered about opinions i don't agree with on this game, It's helping me get through alcohol addiction and very life changing cirumstances in 2023. I am very sad but not when i kit up get in raid and start fighting for my pmcs life. I genuinely feel like i'll die when this game does, as stupid as that sounds. I want nothing but success for my favorite game.
eh no. Good try but this game is cheater infested.
Region specific. China always has a lot more cheaters
You've probably never played a PC game in your life.
Bro you've got me hyped for the update I've been playing lol I 100% agree that the game plays and feels SOOOOO much better!
Just started playing like 2 weeks ago. Awesome game so far, love the real guns and gun parts. Having dual monitors is must when you're first starting out so you can have the maps up on your 2nd monitor, so you know where tf you're going. lol....I just wish they put a mini map with the exfil locations but then again that's what makes it harder. Arena is pretty cool too.
Editing so smooth it didn't even feel like a 30+ min watch. Keep it up man this video is great o7

It's weird. I've had this game since 2019, that's 6 years. I've accumulated thousands of hours of gameplay in this game yet I'd always end up leaving out of extreme burnout and stress. But... weirdly this wipe seems different. I'm not sure if its how I've been approaching the quests, or that maybe I've just grown as a person and can take more in from the gameplay and put that back into how I interact with it, since it has been 2 years since I last played Tarkov. It's been so long and so much has been added that I feel like a new player again, yet with all the knowledge I already had.
I used to despise the quests in this game, but recently the quests I once hated with a passion are now... FUN to do. I'm not sure why, perhaps it's just my approach and outlook onto how to play and learn from the quests of Tarkov. I used to be a scav main. Too scared to play alone I'd join an LFG server and play with a 3 or 4 man. This wipe I've opted to play alone. I haven't played a single game with others, and I feel myself improving. When you play solo and only PMC, you take everything in and waste no time.
If I have any advice for new players, don't rely on your scav. Learn the maps and let the quests help guide you regarding that. Overcome the fear of playing alone, don't rely on playing in groups.
Nice! Sounds like you got over the learning hump. I had essentially the same arc back in 2022- stopped scavving and just mained solo PMC for like 800 hours. That’s when I really started to love the game.
Absolutely love, that the armor update braught those crazy armors down to a more level playing field. Armpit shots it is.
Watching this video for the first time AFTER the unheard drama hurts... I hope BSG can pull back from this, cuz I love SPT! But I still want the game to be completed.
When you said how lower level players felt like they had to rat previously to win fights, I really felt that. I’ve only played like 3 or 4 wipes now off and on (cos of university) so I’m still really new to the game, and back when I first got it, I was pretty miserable and struggled to enjoy Tarkov, even though I really wanted to like the game, because the learning curve was so high, alongside the great disparity in survival chances when pitted against a higher level pmc, as you mentioned. However, these past two wipes, especially this current one, I’ve found myself really liking Tarkov. It feels a lot better to me as a newer player and the changes that they’ve made to the game have allowed me to learn a lot more about the game in a shorter span of time than I could in previous wipes. Now fights feel more fair than before (for the most part), and I don’t feel the need to rat/hide until the coast is clear or I’m forced to ambush a pmc, cos those were the only really viable options I had previously in order to progress quests, get loot, and just survive in general. So while I don’t have many hours at all and am 100% a Timmy with only ~350 hours in the game that may be talking out of his ass, I do agree with you that I feel like, personally, BSG has made good changes over all to Tarkov, and I’m actually quite excited to see what the next year brings to the game
Best Tarkov video I've ever seen. Captures every opinion I had and those I had even forgotten about. Great job!
Thank you so much!
If this game had some sort of rewarding prestige system for "escaping" and finishing every task, I'd actually give that a go.
That’s the plan
You can never please everyone, that's just not how it works. Life isn't that simple unfortunately.
im currently playing with a couple new players starting fresh this wipe, i made them focus on improving while i did all the thinking for them at least until level 15. after that i made them run solo raids while i watched to give quick tips about locations they were in or what positions to take when they reach them, but stayed Silent when they fought so i can see their brains working. one cleaned up interchange like it was candy, wiping out lvls 40+ with ease. the other was running factory like a maniac hunting tagilla for his armor plates with found in raid ammo we cant buy on the flea. that sesh was amazing. and now after watching them work i can identify where we might struggle to work together as a team in certain situations, whether i should push a spot alone and have them flank or hold, or if i can trust them to go full "WE BALL" mode and we slaughter shit, which has already been happening so im so grateful to have teammates that trust me and trust i wont tell them to do anything i wouldnt do 10 times before and after.
One thing players should remember with using AK iron sights is, they are supposed to hit centre of mass at X yards if you aim at the belt buckle.
I've been playing Tarkov since 2018. I do play other games and there were many wipes where I either didnt play al all or just played it on the side but this wipe has firmly solidified it as my main game. I cant get enough.
Old tarkov felt so bad as a low level bc I knew how many fights I could’ve won if the game felt better shooting wise and now I feel like I can take on the world with this new recoil, now I still think it shouldn’t take so many hours just to unlock flea and be able to build a gun how you like, I feel like any weapon you can buy at level 1 should be able to be kitted out well early
Started playing this game again a couple days ago and haven't been able to drop it. I didnt even know that this year will have so many changes, I really look forward to full release whenever that is ! (Salute)
You are spot on about the early game pvp this patch. I still like to play like a sneaky boy, but I have absolutely taken fights that I would have avoided in previous wipes because it just feels better now.
Jesus Christ, from its content to the editing is just perfection. I love you, Riloe.
Hahaha thank you
At this point in the game you, you can run stock weapons, with mid level ammo, and put up a fight against anyone if you know how to shoot and position yourself. You are obviously at a disadvantage, but it's viable. It's an amazing change
As someone with 900+ hours, good recoil brought me back. There is no sense in giving no lifers good weapon recoil for modding the hell out of their guns we already have to struggle with shit ammo as casual players at the start. This video was great and touched on everything i agree with.
been through the game's cycle since alpha, haven't played this wipe yet as trying other games out atm but theres always been a charm that draws me back
I was shocked when I loaded ground zero for the first time and it just ran, like, good. Games smoothest its ever been.
Its literally just because of the recoil dude
like I can FINALLY aim my gun properly 😭😭😭😭😭
Its amazing
Wow. This is a perfectly made video I can't believe you don't have more subscribers! Im going to have to start playing tarkov again lol
Hahaa thank you!
I am an OG player who loved EFT for 2 or 3 years then hated it after the flea market and labs were released, stopped playing it during covid and just got back in for .14 I will say this is the best wipe since .7 (the 1st wipe for those who were not around prewipes), new maps, no dsync, gun parts readily available to build your gun from FiR loot, the early game has been extended now all we need to experience is the mid to late game to see if we still get back end errors with all the loot people have.
My problem is i cant stop. The voip, the gun play, seeing my numbers go up and down, and of course the VIBES. I fucking love this game. No matter how bad it gets lol
Bruh great video. Had me tearing up. Hit the nail on the head man. I love this game, and can't wait to see what the future holds
As a hard-stuck level 10 myself I found myself telling myself that every time I died it was because my gear. My puny PP-19 with no full auto capability and peas for ammo could never have a chance at even scratching tier 4 or higher armor. I always thought that I just couldn't compete with everyone who dedicates most time to playing Tarkov. With the new update and more training I find that I stand a chance with these lower level guns. I find myself saying that if only I played the situation better or if only I had reacted sooner I would've won. Now I feel like I stand an actual chance at getting better and having successful raids. The new recoil and armor rework really helps those who are newer and less experienced. And to those who are veterans it doesn't matter. They are used to recoil being near zero with their meta builds and they would get ripped anyway by some stray AP ammo. This balance patch helped cross the gap between being totally hopeless to having a chance at survival.
Great video with a very accurate view on where we are.
The two main issues remaining for me: performance and the wipe itself.
The performance still needs to be improved. And we need to get rid of the wipe at some point. It was originally a necessity of the game and patch system but it’s hurting the casual gamer so much.
The biggest problem I see with cheaters is, that I adapdet to them, and this overall makes the game experience and how a raid plays out just unnatural.
I hear a sound and I wiggle in that direction, suddenly the other dude voips because he saw me trough the wall wiggle.
I tend to run low end gear or guns, so I'm not as interresting to the cheaters. Also I always bring a double barrel with two rip rounds for their legs.
I tend to not pick up high value loot, if I do not absolutely need it, again to not be of interrest for cheaters.
This works qiet well to keep them away, but then still, they highly affekt how the raid plays out, because bosses and guard are dead in the first 10 minutes, or valuable rooms are still locked but completely empty.
Just unnatural, and no fun.
Salute! Thanks for the review, glad to see, I'm not the only one not so concerned about cheaters. BTW, the patch allows to view your killer stats, not a replay, but still helps to see if it was a sus gigachad or just a lucky timmy.
i started tarkov in 2019. 6.5k hours. played every wipe since reserve came out. this game is fucking amazing even with all of its issues. also your content screams that youve been playing the game for alot longer than just a year or so. keep up the good work dude. and for those that complain... look for the good not the bad.
This is my first wipe and your content has helped me quite a lot. I love this game, even when i get domed with the 3 salewas i need in my backpack. The only thing they could do is optimise it better and update the code to catch Vacuumers.
Damn dude o7. Only found your channel today. Your videos are awesome. Your editing is amazing. You have a new fan.
Thank you haha! Cheers
As someone who is fairly new at 500 hours and has played a little bit over a few wipes this is truly the wipe that even post early game has made me have alot of fun, I really feel like I can use guns for drip and besides the snow that questions my sanity I have pumped probably 100~ hours in just this wipe
the answer to the "why care about cheaters" question that it literally sets me back hours sometimes because im not a meta runner and dont have a disposable tarkov income.
Honestly the armor rework was what got me into EFT. Was a hardcore tactical shooter genre slave for years and was looking for something a bit more hardcore. slipping a low pen high damage round trough an armpit or throat gap on a chad feels so fucking good.
I just came back to this game after a year and two, no idea there were patches of any sort, game feels amazing. Looking forward to playing more of it tbh
I love the feel of the game since ive first seen it, i casualy played it for years but the pve mod made me play it nearly everyday now
The 10 games of arena taught me more about PVP than the 4 wipes I have played.
My attention span is usually 5min. But i ended up watching the whole video in one sitting without me realizing.
Amazing work on this video. Subscribed.
That little tangent you went on about both sides of the meta was hilarious 😂😂😂
So true,
: THEY ALWAYS HAVE AP
: GIVE US AP
