@@bicepbrah8179I always have fun in tarky, and when the fun begins to turn into suffering I remind myself I used to play league of legends, and tarky is fun again.
The problem is that the rewarding part its not there ether because I can die by 2 or if I am lucky 3 shots from someone that I cant even defende myself,how I know this?because I am the one shooting that defensive guy
Fun? You think I play bc it's fun? You think i dropped out of college, left my wife and family for some fun? Pfftt it's a lifestyle baby. I had no choice
I loved hearing this and found it very relatable. That was definitely one hell of a way to put my feelings about this game into words. During my first 2 wipes, every single dogtag meant everything to me. Simply by double clicking it and seeing the name and the weapon allowed me to recall the whole memory as well as the pure satisfaction of getting the kill. That was one of the reasons why I found it difficult to swap out dogtags for quests or item barters.
@@riloegamingi remember every gun fight I’ve had ever gotten into in Tarkov just about for my first two wipes. Now that I’m more of a Chad i still get into some crazy encounters but foundly remember those first days of getting my tail kicked
"You can inflict on others the pain they inflicted onto you, and when you do... thats a sense of reward that you will NOT soon forget..." *evil, chaotic, maniac montage of redemption* That video was actually wild. So relatable lol
It's a bully sim. Pure and simple. Daddy didn't let u go out last night? Ok well now ill stay up all night camping extracts to get him back for that. Some kid picked on u at school. Well ok let me go find someone in game to take my anger out on so I don't feel like a loser anymore.... while simultaneously do exactly what a loser would do.... stay u all night to cause harm to pll who had nothing to do with it.
this is what ive been telling my friends about this game. they just cant fathom the sheer amount of adrenaline pumping thru my blood stream during an intense gun fight. The dopamine hit as soon as you find loot, kill pmcs, kill bosses and etc. The game is not fun but is sure as hell rewarding
I've been watching your content for a while now and still can't belive how well articulated and thought out your videos are. One of the greats of Tarkov communication in my book. Keep up the fantastic work, you're gonna go far
Need more cold lines with hardcore kills and music in the background. Good vid and amazing way to truly explain why we really dont want to escape from Tarkov.
as someone who has poured hundreds of hours into the souls games, im never really a fan of the “dark souls of x” comparisons. However I think tarkov has similarities to the core design; starting with almost nothing, facing what might feel like impossible odds, and the incredibly rewarding feeling of overcoming those odds. it is a feeling that is rarely replicated quite like a souls title, but tarkov comes very close. great video!
Loved this new video. I've been telling people for ages that I think when people use the word realistic they are more talking about immersive. One of the biggest flaws I find with survival-esque games is that they think lore is just story. But a good "realistic" or "immersive" game has explanations for game mechanics and allow people to build up an expectation of how the world works. Which is lore just as much as background story elements. Loved this video.
This is a good mindset and depth of what goals tarkov sets out. It's not trying to be fun but a challenge, sure it's not going to be perfect but has a much clearer goal than what most modern games have.
thats what almost modern games had but their process at making it failed horribly. Tarkov's development's progression can only be described as a rollercoaster ride. There ain't really a time that the game really had a truly astonishing update but most times it was either mediocre or straight up dumpster fire
Nah it's a false concept imo, the challenge itself should be fun. When designing a game start with fun then if you're goal is a challenging game then keep tweaking it to be more challenging but NEVER say you're balancing around it not being fun. A great example is to look at dark souls 1 vs their later entries. They've managed to retain the challenge of their games while simultaneously making them more fun because at the end of the day you play games for enjoyment. Tarkov has an issue in where they're much to afraid to innovate because they don't truly understand what makes their game fun so they don't know what they can or can't change. Dark souls/from software is the complete opposite.
This wipe has been my first wipe, and it has been one of the most grueling challenges in any game I have played. This video has summed up my thoughts perfectly, you got a sub and a follower from me dude. Very well crafted video
I really liked this explanation. I'm not into EfT at all but into Milsim DCS where I encounter many people who just want "fun", instant reward, easy going.. and I try to push them to train harder, be better and strive for perfection.. because I just know how REWARDING it feels when you achieve that level and can do certain things that you couldn't even dream about some months before, when whining for that easy fun and instant reward.
Great video! When I first started the game Hunt: showdown, there were multiple times I had to learn what the hell the game meant. I was best for the first 500 hours that I played. But the world, it’s characters, and story kept bringing me back. Eventually, I bested my fears about risk and picked up a shotgun and started my eventual climb to 2,000 currently. I hope I can achieve the same for tarkov one day
i love the progression and sense of achivment tarkov gives me its kinda like the same back in vanila wow where you sacrificed 1000 of hours just become one of the best geared player on your server it was a great feeling once you where at top5 of your class on the server but there isnt anygames out there anymore then tarkov couse you can never compete on a leveled playing field when you can buy the best stuff for money on other games
While I agree with you overall, ultimately think the dichotomy of fun and rewarding isn’t a necessary one. BSG could, and I think do continue to try, to make the game more fun, but they’ve only done so with mixed results. Some aspects of the game make it inherently less enjoyable while also adding little to no long-term benefit like the game’s horrible menu UI. They’ve fixed that a little in recent wipes, but they’ve also made the game needlessly more favorable to players who do nothing but grind the game with the introduction of inertia and their recent weapon/recoil balance choices. Considering I spent over $100 on this game, I feel like I can expect BSG to give me a product where the guy who does nothing but play this game like LVNDMARK can’t just hop around the map like a bunny and then beam me with massive assault rifle. It makes me feel like I’m playing Tarkov, but he gets to play Call of Duty. He gets to have fun because he plays this game exclusively, but I can’t be rewarded for any skill I do have simply because I have other interests that take up my time. Because of this, I no longer enjoy playing Tarkov; I just watch videos like yours instead. Perhaps I should’ve just paid you my $120 instead 😭
Being good at movement is part of the game and the challenge. I agree they shouldn’t have changed it so drastically but it is what it is now and if you don’t want to get slammed constantly tarkov demands a lot of hours for improving game sense, mechanical skill, and just getting better gear.
the recent recoil changes this wipe literally make it much easier for player who dont play 8 hrs a day to have a decent time as many many more weapons are now viable even with little to no modding. Just look at the M4 just slap a red dot on it and its perfectly usable. You wont be able to mag dump on mid range but its soooo much better now than last wipe
you are so wrong about inertia and the recoil system, the changes have literally done what you're asking, closing the gap. Pre-inertia and old recoil system absolutely favored those that grind more.
First Video of yours that I've come across - I logged about 700hrs in tarkov over a few wipes and took a long break until this wipe and your assessment i think is pretty much bang on the money! Great content and format (i reckon even if i'd have disagreed with you i would probably want to hang around for more like it)
This is exactly why I keep coming back to tarkov again and again even though my parents hate me playing the game since I get angry at the game and hit my desk (it’s has several cracks)
I’ve actually owned EFT since the release of the BETA and I’ve only really started playing now. This video summarizes my feelings perfectly, back then I wasn’t interested and frankly intimidated by the “No Instant Reward” but as I’ve grown up and now consistently started playing, EFT is truly one of a kind. ( I’m loosing sanity raid by raid). Amazing Video.
Oh hey, I've been watching your stuff on TikTok for ages! Never knew you had a youtube. That montage at the beginning really encapsulates the ball-kicking nature of Tarkov's game design, can't wait to see more stuff from you! :P
I think it's rewarding and fun (not sure where this idea it isn't comes from), but all the time to build a kit, queue, play, sort inventory means I don't usually have the desire to choose it after a day of work.
I love this take on Tarkov. It's something that is nothing like anything else on the market, and many have tried to replicate what this game has to offer with none surpassing it yet. Unfortunately for me, my computer is unable to handle Tarkov's unoptimized game at the current moment, so I find it hard to fully enjoy this game when I feel like I have a disadvantage significantly more than the average player, and I'm also not able to access some maps due to the performance hinderance. I'm looking forward to upgrading in the future to be able to play more frequently, but watching this video made me more excited when that time comes. Nice video.
What specs you got? My pc isn't the greatest at all and after a fair amount of changes to settings in game and windows I've managed to get solid fps on every map whereas before I couldn't even load in without BSoD
@@liamwalpole9415 my current setup is a Ryzen 5 1600, 16gb ddr4 ram, and 1070 gpu. No matter what settings I've messed with, I could never get tarkov to run well. I even tried enabling my ram to work at its advertised speed to only be met with BSoD every so often. If you have any recommendations or how you run your computer, I'm all ears.
Install onto SSD storage, change page file size on windows to at least above 6gb (This will use system disk drive as extra ram), do medium texture/shadows, TAA, no dlss or fsr, disable binaural audio and set to performance mode in windows settings. If you have multi monitor turn them off physically before raid. My specs are worse than yours and ive been sound as this wipe. If still struggling just reply and ill discord you one night, well get you in this wipe bro
I just started on the game and I'm having a blast, wipe today I'm excited. I had dabbled before playing an 1-2 runs and getting wiped and being confused.
Facing the fear of failure is what means the most to me in Tarkov. It feels rewarding to know I was pushed out of my comfort zone of instant dopamine hits so far and still kept going.
this video is awesome and i agree with basically 90% of it. when i play other games i don't take them serious, even in serious envioments. i have gone to fighting game tournaments, i play competative shooters with friends. i have competed to try and gain top rank in niche games. but no game has ever given me the same feeling of "mastery" or feeling of "achieving greatness" that tarkov has, playing tarkov to me, is like playing music. you do it for fun of course, but do you just learn a couple of songs and play it when people ask you to? well maybe some do, but for me playing music is for self expression, it's a way to grow and learn. i try to play increasingly harder songs, i try to improve chord structures or simply just try to play songs a little more cleanly then i did yesterday. THAT is what tarkov is. an experiens that sticks with you as you learn it's mechanics and all it has to offer. i may sometimes hate it, and i did take a massive tarkov break before the wipe. but i keep coming back and falling in love with this game great video, really incapsolates my feelings with the games
My biggest issue is believing the next raid will always be just as bad, but when I die and instantly get a new kit to get into another raid it can sometimes be one of the best raids of the day.
Also something i think worth mentioning is that Tarkov makes the "reward" atleast somewhat guaranteed, in the game you have secure container that lets you hold atleast four items in it, which means that once you put four items into the four container, you just sucessfully gained those items, you just got "rewarded" with those items, the existence of a secure container makes it so that you can "gain" every run even if you die, so no raid will ever truly be fruitless, because no matter what, you always gained something out of each raid thanks to secure container, so every run will atleast have reward in the form of the four item you secured, and it ensure that your time in the raid didn't just go to waste for nothing
It depends on what you find fun. I would say yes tarkov is very fun, like how dark souls games are fun. It’s the overcoming of challenges and the reward factor and the experience that’s fun. Tarkov doesn’t need heavily scripted events because it’s a game like no other, interacting with players in tarkov is deferent then any other game. It almost feels real. I find airsoft fun, I find Milsims fun, I find re-enactments fun, because of the experience. And tarkov feels very much the same. The freedom in tarkov is crazy, yet it’s the kind of freedom where you still have a goal. The grind is real, the tension is real, the fear is real, the joy is real and the fun you have with friends in tarkov is like nothing you will find in any other game. And that’s why I love it and do find it fun. Just like how working out is fun
See tarkov and dark souls sre very different. In dark souls you die its your fault you can fix it. In tarkov the game is designed to fuck you over. Want to get this task done break your arm first then do it, want to. Get a scope well GL either finding it or doing 20 raids and getting lucky you arent being hacked on. Devs dont promote healthy or good gameplay loops but rather a unhealthy unfun unrewarding gameplay that has killed the game. Accord to the tarkov discord this wipe had thw fewest amount of new players and sales due to. Constent hackers and poor task design. There is a reason this game has a zero refund policy because they know you will quit and this is nothing more then. Who has the better gaming chair ( aka cheats) and who hates their life the most because nothing you do matters. When the devs dont even care or like you. Shit game, shit community, shit devs.
Very good video. You hit the nail on the head on many points. On the same token that you must work to become complete in this game is also why alot of little kids and even adults cheat. They want the instant gratification like a child.
Just played 3 raids looking for Reshala and each one some pmc killed me by sitting in bushes or just in a corner and stumbled upon this vid and I have to say yeah this is pretty good.
this has opened my eyes to what I have been thinking to myself for literally ever. Almost commited sewer slide years ago because I felt the way people do about tarkov about life. overall the meaning behind this video doesnt just apply to tarkov, it applies to overall life and needs critical thought
I think something people forget about Tarkov, is it is very niche. And that’s fine. In fact, for some things, that’s outright the best outcome, because some things simply do not handle becoming super popular well and often deviate from the original vision, corporatising to some extent and ruining what made something cool, or it simply collapses under the weight.
I think one thing that would massively make Tarkov more enjoyable, would be that tasks are completed regardless of whether you die or not. Often the time this game makes me tired and fed up is having to replay trying to complete a difficult task again and again. I do everything right to get a task item and to extract avoiding all confrontation only to die by a ridiculous AI scav 100m away one tapping me. Those are the times I often just close the game and don’t touch it for days because it’s so frustrating.
Tarkov is the same kind of fun as the adrenaline rush of jumping out of a plane. The positivity isn’t that you’re having fun. It’s the positivity that you’ve hit the ground and not died

I find I enjoy tarkov more when I have free time in my life. If I am busy with real challenges in life then I just don't have time for tarkov. Great game/experience thought literally no other game providers the same feeling.
I don’t know if it’s just me but I find the game really fun. Definitely was a big learning curve compared to majority of the games I play but once I knew what I was doing and started to learn the maps and spawns I’ve enjoyed my time on the game. Sometimes it can frustrating but overall good experience.
I think the new update and wipe really made tarkov feel fun again, it kept the hardcore aspect but made recoil way less rng based. And getting a kill or getting killed doesn't feel as bs anymore.
Once they remove the mechanic of certain bullets being garbage and others being OP. Then it’s a fun realistic game. If not then it’s just like a rpg game. If you don’t got the best bullet kind for your weapon then even if you load someone with a full clip, they won’t die. Whereas if they have the best bullets you one shot thru the best gear.
@@ieatgrass108bad bullets are better now because of the armour changes. Armour only blocks damage if the physical model covers it. That means there’s gaps in the armpits and thorax areas where a bad bullet could one tap. Also the made high pen ammo way harder to get. For example you cant even buy m855a1 anywhere. So this wipe armour is more effective (less high pen) but also bad bullets are better (more exposed hit boxes)
The bold title made me hesitant to even click on the video, but after finishing it all the points made sense, and the quality of the video was great so good job.
I just started playing for the first time. I've not had a successful extract as pmc or scav. I now have no money left. I now have no inventory left. No guns. No ammo. I am sitting here struggling to loot as scav so I can start over, but I cannot exfil because I get fucking shit canned by extract campers. So actually frustrating, I've never felt defeat like this before.
EFT being the fps "soulslike" make sense since it offers all the tools needed by the player for advantages and leverage. was close to calling it as a mascoore, but it had that accessibility, as "soulslike" is streamlined masocore.
I've seen your last three videos on Tarkov back to back and got goosebumps on each. Among all the negativity about the game on the internet, I am very happy to finally find a channel that shares my positive opinion and turns it into great content. I fondly remember my first successful PVP moment defeating a fully geared duo with my Vepr-Hunter on Interchange and having that crazy feeling in my gut while the extraction timer counted down after I looted both of them to the teeth. Tarkov experience is definitely unique.
Wow thanks for making this. I recently started looking into getting the game and there was so many extremely negative people that I about just moved on until I watched this. Thanks lol

This video summarizes my feelings perfectly, back then I wasn’t interested and frankly intimidated by the “No Instant Reward” but as I’ve grown up and now consistently started playing, EFT is truly one of a kind. ( I’m loosing sanity raid by raid).
Amazing Video.
the cycle frontier soundtrack made me tear up
Oh hey, I've been watching your stuff on TikTok for ages! Never knew you had a youtube. That montage at the beginning really encapsulates the ball-kicking nature of Tarkov's game design, can't wait to see more stuff from you! :P
9:23 you soab. Very well made video, truly a work of art
This is such a well made video riloe well done!
I think it's rewarding and fun (not sure where this idea it isn't comes from), but all the time to build a kit, queue, play, sort inventory means I don't usually have the desire to choose it after a day of work.
The insight you display in this video is very promising. I hope to see you grow to match the potential.
I still remember the first time I bounced on a trampoline as a kid.
I wish i did😢
Great vid Riloe, good luck this wipe man
You too!
SO well edited
beautiful video, it was so pleasing and actually entertaining to watch
Thank you!!
watched this when it came out but always come back occasionally this is a work of art
If Arena was intended to be fun I don't think BSG knows how to make a fun game
awesome video, wish u linked the songs in the description tho xd
how did you get the camera angles?
I love this take on Tarkov. It's something that is nothing like anything else on the market, and many have tried to replicate what this game has to offer with none surpassing it yet. Unfortunately for me, my computer is unable to handle Tarkov's unoptimized game at the current moment, so I find it hard to fully enjoy this game when I feel like I have a disadvantage significantly more than the average player, and I'm also not able to access some maps due to the performance hinderance. I'm looking forward to upgrading in the future to be able to play more frequently, but watching this video made me more excited when that time comes. Nice video.
What specs you got? My pc isn't the greatest at all and after a fair amount of changes to settings in game and windows I've managed to get solid fps on every map whereas before I couldn't even load in without BSoD
@@liamwalpole9415 my current setup is a Ryzen 5 1600, 16gb ddr4 ram, and 1070 gpu. No matter what settings I've messed with, I could never get tarkov to run well. I even tried enabling my ram to work at its advertised speed to only be met with BSoD every so often. If you have any recommendations or how you run your computer, I'm all ears.
i got it to run on my 1070 with 16gb ram, maybe its your CPU@@ninocarachilo6660
Install onto SSD storage, change page file size on windows to at least above 6gb (This will use system disk drive as extra ram), do medium texture/shadows, TAA, no dlss or fsr, disable binaural audio and set to performance mode in windows settings. If you have multi monitor turn them off physically before raid. My specs are worse than yours and ive been sound as this wipe. If still struggling just reply and ill discord you one night, well get you in this wipe bro
@@liamwalpole9415❤
Great vid. So true too… look at the success of hardcore, or the snowball challenge. We’re addicted to it.
escape from tarkov is the best horror game I've ever played
It's 11:59 PM for me
1 min away from 2024
Tarkov is fun in it's own way, I like to find my own fun and don't look for what's generally considered fun in a shooter game.
Facts
I just started on the game and I'm having a blast, wipe today I'm excited. I had dabbled before playing an 1-2 runs and getting wiped and being confused.
Enjoy this wipe! It's a new time for everyone with all the changes
May this video be a #1/10 in TH-cam studio🫡
Mate you need so much more recognition for these articulate thought out bangers :D keep going
Thank you!
Single Player Tarkov (SPT) has been the most fun ive have in EFT in a LOOOOONNNNG time. Just as rewarding too....
7:50 You mean that A.I scav that auto locked my head through every single bush and cover I was behind?
Facing the fear of failure is what means the most to me in Tarkov. It feels rewarding to know I was pushed out of my comfort zone of instant dopamine hits so far and still kept going.
3:36 this is the mindset that I believe full heartedly is killing gaming
this video is awesome and i agree with basically 90% of it. when i play other games i don't take them serious, even in serious envioments. i have gone to fighting game tournaments, i play competative shooters with friends. i have competed to try and gain top rank in niche games. but no game has ever given me the same feeling of "mastery" or feeling of "achieving greatness" that tarkov has, playing tarkov to me, is like playing music. you do it for fun of course, but do you just learn a couple of songs and play it when people ask you to? well maybe some do, but for me playing music is for self expression, it's a way to grow and learn. i try to play increasingly harder songs, i try to improve chord structures or simply just try to play songs a little more cleanly then i did yesterday. THAT is what tarkov is. an experiens that sticks with you as you learn it's mechanics and all it has to offer. i may sometimes hate it, and i did take a massive tarkov break before the wipe. but i keep coming back and falling in love with this game
great video, really incapsolates my feelings with the games
My biggest issue is believing the next raid will always be just as bad, but when I die and instantly get a new kit to get into another raid it can sometimes be one of the best raids of the day.
Also something i think worth mentioning is that Tarkov makes the "reward" atleast somewhat guaranteed, in the game you have secure container that lets you hold atleast four items in it, which means that once you put four items into the four container, you just sucessfully gained those items, you just got "rewarded" with those items, the existence of a secure container makes it so that you can "gain" every run even if you die, so no raid will ever truly be fruitless, because no matter what, you always gained something out of each raid thanks to secure container, so every run will atleast have reward in the form of the four item you secured, and it ensure that your time in the raid didn't just go to waste for nothing
lol.
tell me you bought tarkov last week without telling me you bought tarkov last week
This game has improved my life. I unironically imaging irl as tarkov like doing tasks.
It depends on what you find fun. I would say yes tarkov is very fun, like how dark souls games are fun. It’s the overcoming of challenges and the reward factor and the experience that’s fun. Tarkov doesn’t need heavily scripted events because it’s a game like no other, interacting with players in tarkov is deferent then any other game. It almost feels real. I find airsoft fun, I find Milsims fun, I find re-enactments fun, because of the experience. And tarkov feels very much the same. The freedom in tarkov is crazy, yet it’s the kind of freedom where you still have a goal. The grind is real, the tension is real, the fear is real, the joy is real and the fun you have with friends in tarkov is like nothing you will find in any other game. And that’s why I love it and do find it fun. Just like how working out is fun
See tarkov and dark souls sre very different. In dark souls you die its your fault you can fix it. In tarkov the game is designed to fuck you over. Want to get this task done break your arm first then do it, want to. Get a scope well GL either finding it or doing 20 raids and getting lucky you arent being hacked on.
Devs dont promote healthy or good gameplay loops but rather a unhealthy unfun unrewarding gameplay that has killed the game.
Accord to the tarkov discord this wipe had thw fewest amount of new players and sales due to. Constent hackers and poor task design. There is a reason this game has a zero refund policy because they know you will quit and this is nothing more then. Who has the better gaming chair ( aka cheats) and who hates their life the most because nothing you do matters. When the devs dont even care or like you. Shit game, shit community, shit devs.
TH-cam finally blessing me with vids like yours. Awesome video man I really think you hit the head, eyes With this one
7:47 Concrete whispers is a great theme.
still holds up post eod edition 🙏🙏
I appreciate the use of puppetmaster from gits
Engaging, great pacing, and A thought invoking video. Well done!
Very good video. You hit the nail on the head on many points. On the same token that you must work to become complete in this game is also why alot of little kids and even adults cheat. They want the instant gratification like a child.
Just played 3 raids looking for Reshala and each one some pmc killed me by sitting in bushes or just in a corner and stumbled upon this vid and I have to say yeah this is pretty good.
this has opened my eyes to what I have been thinking to myself for literally ever. Almost commited sewer slide years ago because I felt the way people do about tarkov about life. overall the meaning behind this video doesnt just apply to tarkov, it applies to overall life and needs critical thought
I’m glad you connected with this. Wish you the best!
@@riloegaming same to you Riloe.
I'm glad you're still with us, keep on keeping on
@@mr.b89 thanks man
I think something people forget about Tarkov, is it is very niche. And that’s fine. In fact, for some things, that’s outright the best outcome, because some things simply do not handle becoming super popular well and often deviate from the original vision, corporatising to some extent and ruining what made something cool, or it simply collapses under the weight.
I think one thing that would massively make Tarkov more enjoyable, would be that tasks are completed regardless of whether you die or not. Often the time this game makes me tired and fed up is having to replay trying to complete a difficult task again and again. I do everything right to get a task item and to extract avoiding all confrontation only to die by a ridiculous AI scav 100m away one tapping me. Those are the times I often just close the game and don’t touch it for days because it’s so frustrating.
Tarkov is the same kind of fun as the adrenaline rush of jumping out of a plane. The positivity isn’t that you’re having fun. It’s the positivity that you’ve hit the ground and not died
I can't argue with this, it can be a real sense of achievement rather than just quick hits of happy brain chemicals.

Who creates these visuals or what program do you use? Tell me your secrets
I find I enjoy tarkov more when I have free time in my life. If I am busy with real challenges in life then I just don't have time for tarkov. Great game/experience thought literally no other game providers the same feeling.
Amazing way to put it. Keep up the amazing work
That one friend who broke his keyboard 10 times trying to convince me to play tarkov…
I don’t know if it’s just me but I find the game really fun. Definitely was a big learning curve compared to majority of the games I play but once I knew what I was doing and started to learn the maps and spawns I’ve enjoyed my time on the game. Sometimes it can frustrating but overall good experience.
I think the new update and wipe really made tarkov feel fun again, it kept the hardcore aspect but made recoil way less rng based. And getting a kill or getting killed doesn't feel as bs anymore.
Once they remove the mechanic of certain bullets being garbage and others being OP. Then it’s a fun realistic game. If not then it’s just like a rpg game. If you don’t got the best bullet kind for your weapon then even if you load someone with a full clip, they won’t die. Whereas if they have the best bullets you one shot thru the best gear.
@@ieatgrass108bad bullets are better now because of the armour changes. Armour only blocks damage if the physical model covers it. That means there’s gaps in the armpits and thorax areas where a bad bullet could one tap. Also the made high pen ammo way harder to get. For example you cant even buy m855a1 anywhere. So this wipe armour is more effective (less high pen) but also bad bullets are better (more exposed hit boxes)
I don’t comment on videos much but this was very well made good job!
Thanks so much!
The bold title made me hesitant to even click on the video, but after finishing it all the points made sense, and the quality of the video was great so good job.
I just started playing for the first time. I've not had a successful extract as pmc or scav. I now have no money left. I now have no inventory left. No guns. No ammo. I am sitting here struggling to loot as scav so I can start over, but I cannot exfil because I get fucking shit canned by extract campers. So actually frustrating, I've never felt defeat like this before.
EFT being the fps "soulslike" make sense since it offers all the tools needed by the player for advantages and leverage. was close to calling it as a mascoore, but it had that accessibility, as "soulslike" is streamlined masocore.
I've seen your last three videos on Tarkov back to back and got goosebumps on each. Among all the negativity about the game on the internet, I am very happy to finally find a channel that shares my positive opinion and turns it into great content. I fondly remember my first successful PVP moment defeating a fully geared duo with my Vepr-Hunter on Interchange and having that crazy feeling in my gut while the extraction timer counted down after I looted both of them to the teeth. Tarkov experience is definitely unique.
Wow thanks for making this.
I recently started looking into getting the game and there was so many extremely negative people that I about just moved on until I watched this. Thanks lol
wish they would make the performance better , if they do that i’ll play it night and day
excellent video as usual. Very excited for your coverage of Grey Zone Warfare
Thanks! Expect to see more for sure
