- When disaster or war threatens to remove the thin veneer of a well mannered society, people can revert to medieval methods of survival and even turn violent. In this video I explore just how likely it was that those trapped within Tarkov would pick up shotguns and rifles to survive.

The original trilogy of books dedicated to the EFT universe perfectly shows how an ordinary IT worker from terragroups turns into a ruthless killer
There's books?
yea, three of them. Now with my recent purchase of all three, only the first one was correctly formatted for mobile (not a big deal, just the book cover and the author data was merged with everything else so it takes to ~20secs to load it cuz of the cover image file size
I’m like a year late but I mean he is a bit of Mary Sue cause he’s just good at everything but otherwise yeah pretty convincing just should be more shocked about death and not so accepting
@@quirkyturtle6652
Better late than never haha
Undoubtedly, the main character Denis got lucky toooo many times.
But at the same time, the author showed how and why he changed.
For example, he agreed with the instructors of the police special forces about his training and learned how to work with explosives.
He worked with a scav sniper and learned some tricks.
And so on.
But yes, you're right, sometimes I really wish that he would somehow be wounded more seriously or something like that.
Perhaps the author wanted the potential player to enjoy the stoty for more than at least 4 minutes of reading from the HEAD EYES xD
@@СынсвоегопапцаYou could argue that the only reason he survived that long was because he got lucky. Civilians don't just transform into hardened fighters overnight and the process is incredibly dangerous the only way they managed to go through it is by luck. It's survivorship bias and many other scavs got there also through sheer will and luck.
I always thought Tarkov makes a huge amount of sense when you consider that the developers probably range from their late '20s to early '40s in age and the series of perpetual crises that followed the break up of the Soviet Union, when they'd have been kids. I'm not saying Tarkov is necessarily an explicit commentary on either that moment or the contemporary Russia that emerged from the chaos, but I imagine growing up in that kind of environment of scarcity and uncertainty is pretty formative and you can see it reflected too in both Tarkov and a lot of other Russian and Eastern European games (STALKER, Metro), with the emphasis on resource management and scarcity, physical vulnerability, and environmental danger, as opposed to the power fantasy approach more common in the west. They lived a version of this story.
There's still shit like this going at the border of Oekraïne and Russia
or what's going on rn in Ukraine
Is this why I prefer Russian games?
@@niksatt4843yea, same here, I'd say because more western games have post war/apocaliptic games are really exaggerated and eastern European games have a more realistic way of gameplay because people sadly lived this
12:25 I totally did that with a scav the other day. I ran into a fellow scav and I threw down the USD I had on me and he threw down a few gun parts, I gave him the thumbs up and we went on our separate ways. I love this new scav karma. Great video. I love these lore videos. Keep'em coming.
When some people look at scavs, they see an easy kill, I see a business opportunity.
happened to me but the scav locked me in kiba by standing in the door way... long story short im down 10 rep
I find trades exceptionally strange, but I definitely love them.
It's straight up a random loot box.
@@Tagavedu stonk
From time to time my buddy and I will create little backstories about our scavs while we wait to match and load in.
respect
*gets killed by other scav in 4 seconds*
Scavs are great for roleplay because you don't have to worry about losing gear. I'll sometimes play as a dug addict that immediately injects any syringes I find.
hahaha that's awesome
ive said this multiple times and I will say it again, listening to the music of tarkov it always felt like it followed a man, a man who had to put food on the plate, a man who is moral though had to do things that he didnt want to just for him and his loved ones to live another day. a man who loses his sanity over time, now a man with no purpose or duty as he kills off his own people just over one morsel of food.
It's really funny you say this, because I'm listening to hello moto and it's the complete opposite
Another great video. With the new scav karma, scav runs have felt so much more safe and enjoyable, that I forgot about all the societal collapse that lead to them becoming scavengers. Put me back into perspective of the harsh reality in Tarkov
Sorry to reply to your comment, brother, but slava monolita
This is actually amazing. As disheartening as the irl clips that were added in for comparison, it was just as equally bittersweet to think maybe a single person alone could make a difference in the full collapse of their own homeland occurs. I will no doubt find myself in the too stubborn to leave crowd because it's my home and I won't be ran off by a few bandits. Hell, we may all find ourselves sadly forced to make these choices sooner than later
I might suck at tarkov but I love this game
I love the approach you took to making making Tarkov videos. This is some of the best Tarkov content I've seen.
Thank you :)
Don't despair, this series will be your cash cow once Tarkov releases/goes mainstream.
Cool, i love this theory.. Normal people can turn to barbarism in order to survive
Not even a theory really, just basic survival instincts
Fun fact. In regards to human nature, it only takes 10 days for humans to revert back to a more primal, tribal state of mind. Survival often turns you into an animal, and many men never regain their humanity.
10 days? Gimme 10 seconds
Just bought 500 rounds of 9 mm! I also plan on buying first aid Essentials and stocking up on water purification tablets an emergency rations. I may live in United States but what I've seen from the world so far, my town can turn into tarkov just as easy as any other! I won't be caught unprepared, I have enough ammo stocked up that I should be well protected when the S hits the fan. All I need now is more money to buy better equipment or else I'll have to become a scavenger, a well-armed scavenger yet still a scavenger LOL
Bruhh ur gonna make me feel bad about killing scavs as a PMC now
6:57 it's the most eye opening sentence. Well, this is truth, sometimes extremally brutal and often rejected by many "armchair nobles".
Now you made me feel bad for all the scavs I've killed...
Great work mate. Touching video that really puts a realistic history behind every scav run. I would like to see PMCs with high enough scav karma > 10 or > 15, not get engaged by AI scavs. Clean ops is planned.
All the wild life has been hunted but there's always tushonka at Goshan 8)
This is part of a huge story. This narrative has been played out through many... less luster games. Tarkov is a deep and fruitful game.
Tarkov is like if Chaz took over all of portland
The parallels between this and the situations in the world are wild…. That being said if anyone needs me you can find me at your local mall
One thing to note is the Russian Federation still uses conscription for maintaining their military readiness. The majority of males in Russia complete a one year hitch between 18-27. I don't believe their military occupational specialty will necessarily just be infantry, but Russia has always been light on the tail and heavy on the tooth. So with that being said a lot will at least have a years military experience possibly in a combat arms role. That doesn't mean that scavs are all former Spetsnaz or VDV but some of them possibly were. I'd bet Glukhar's crew has former VDV or SOBR guys in it if not other former Spetsnaz unit members.
1:03 love the south African footage XD. This shit was happening not even 2 months ago
The one downvote is from a IRL scav...
Jaegar ate them all, he just unhinged his jaw and consumned them
This is probably THE most underrated channel I’ve seen
Impressed how it make sense :) TYVM for this story!
"But i have a new theory with supporting evidence that the Tarkov exclusion zone may grow in the future"
This is literally what Russia 2028 will be about when (and if) it'll be released
So in Russia 2028 the TerraGroup-RUAF war goes nationwide?
@@svenyes4078 Check Russia 2028 Pre-Alpha trailer. 'Tis supposed to be a post-apocalyptic game, so in Tarkov shit's serious, nuclear even. TerraGroup does illegal uranium mining and experiments on humans in their labs in lore, so yeah...
@@trianqren127 so it’s basically the literal definition of the bad ending
Bro i never even thought of this this is lit
I love that clip of the Free Burma Rangers
Perfect opportunity to share this. Cordoba city, Argentina, 2013.
Wifes of police men start to make protests because of low salary and high extra hours without pay.
Some police men , prision police, firefighters and military start to make protest too, i was working as prision police and it was real.
Just 2 days of protest and the city start to colapse, people gather to loot and make criminals stuff. Argentinian Federal Distric should to send military because of high level of fear and violence. People was scared and everything close, but some people just defend with they weapons.
Everything was only a week. A real damage.
Thank you for sharing this. This is proof that regardless of where you live, the politeness of society is just one disaster away from dissolving....
@@EULGamingYT only took one day to start the looting and the terror of the people, i had to work anyway but i carry a gun so "zero to hero going to work" xd but not so much damage like movies
Bro so good. Such relevant content to our world and how we can relate to it in our journey in game. Sometimes I feel like this game is in a way… useful preparation mentally.
These videos are done so well they get me crying
also remember that there was also, allegedly, military forces who were deployed after hurricane catrina hit. most people dont know but the city was a lawless landscape, when the bodies were being found, some had gunshot wounds with an ace of spades (or some other playing card) on the body. speculations are navy seals but for sure some special forces team was sent in. hell, even the police shot at people crossing a bridge who had supplies in shopping carts
Katrina... It's spelled Katrina... Spelling is everything when it comes to names
Great video man, and I appreciate your positive outlook as you wrapped up the video. You mentioned Katrina in your video; despite the reports of violence and looting, it was actually more likely for people to come together and assist each other. I don't have any links on hand, but definitely look this up; mutual aid and basic human connection is common in disaster/war/famine stricken areas more so than what the media portrays.
God this helps so much for my own little story im making for fun, i love theses kinds of videos
Your lore videos are amazing to listen too during work, it would totally work as a podcast aswel
Love Tarkov lores and you are one of those people who put huge efforts into these kind of content. I love them. Keep up the awesome work my dude
these scavs must be really messed up if i see bodies of dead children on the new map
Or the cultists certain cults Sacrifice children
Love these videos, the lore is very important!
4:57
fun fact, the signs on the new gas station in customs say "нет бензина" which means "no gasoline."
Great Video loved watching it.
Jerked some tears from my eyes with this new perspective on EFT. I hope that more people see this video
Another great Video Jeff! Can I ask, Where did these Still paintings come from? They are so awesome!
did i just see a terragroup soldier wearing a kiver smh i aint worried no more
jesus man now I feel bad for killing scavs
12:42 VOIP is here baby!
i hope they make a game about a open war between usec and bear combined with fsb where people are still in the town, and i hope they make it like battlefield but with the eft gun system.
I think that would be a nice addition to the eft universe, so you could see how dramatic the situation was in region
Tarkov reminds me of the battles of donetsk airport. If you search that you can see the entire hours long battle shot by soldiers Go Pros etc. Total Tarkov feel to it😅
great video!
Damn, the IRL footage in this video is heartbreaking to watch.
Great video, though.
Nah bro I’d be a scav the second shit went down especially like tarkov man like fuck I’ve read all the books it’s some deep Shit only thing that keeps me around for the buggy mess (I still love the game) is the lore been following it since CW
What are the books called?
Good video really entertaining :)
rip i have to complete the 15 scavs kills on woods quest :( now i feel bad
0:50 This is literally my country lol
9:43 am I one of the few who notices that there are several scattered bodies, and a large pile of bodies just laying on the ground.
That little girl must’ve been literally hiding in the bodies of what is likely her family :/
This was as perfect as sad and miserable. Thank you for this video!
funny, i laughed at the initial footage cause im from South Africa
I think heath ledgers joker described this the best.
what a fucking gripping intro my friend, bravo.
"It would be like the first three months of covid"
I’m living life like tarkov is a 2025 simulator. Got that tuna if u need it.
Is that… Magpul furniture? Also, very interesting video!
There are going to be some who will eventually walk out, and pretend it never happened, whether their conscience is clear or not
Here on Mexico ,some parts of the country are really ,REALLY delicate or marked as dangerous, from sismic zones to the vulnerable to huricanes , i lived my first 10 years in one of this zones, i've seen my parents fighting for food cause a huricane left anything but a insuficient help provided by the goberment, our house destroyed cause the water of an inundation rised until 2.10 mt(6.8 ft i think)and people going into others house´s searching something to eat,drink or even wear.
i lived trough 3 huricanes but only 1 whas this destructive,but the rest of the country never really knowed what is to live in a desaster place with people waiting that you fell asleep to enter,kidnapp your children or take the food or that only blanket that´s protecting your wife from the cold weather. Its not a warzone,but it feels like you are in the middle of one, and only a bit of chaos is needed to drive someone crazy.
No mames wey, lo siento mucho que tú familia haya pasado por eso, espero que todo mejore, te mando un abrazo desde NL😢
0:52... Well I'm from Minnesota
Top notch once again👍
And then you have player Slavs in game and you see each other and wiggle and jump around XD
I've actually done a no equipment run in tarkov at night and either ran into a player scav or player and did the wiggle XD
I know this is a 2 year old video, but on the wildlife note. Having spent the last 2 years in Ukraine, it's rare there. Birds are plentiful, a squirrel here or there maybe, foxes, cats and dogs. I've only ever heard stories of people seeing a deer over there
Tarkov Gameplay Vs Tarkov Lore
Are those videos at the beginning from South Africa?
What about the resident evil in citizen of raccoon city?
I cant go to Ikea with my Gf widout thinking on tarkov.
6 20 in the video I have seen that location before
this just got waaay more relevant ahhaahha
Also, people withholding the law have also joined the gangs. Can't forget them
Scav should spawn with 20 energy and 20 hydration, the camera fades if he goes 0 energy for 1 min, after that it fades, (buff) not sure bout the details but the idea makes them go for food first not gear at least
Veri Nice
PESTILY JUST USED YOUR FOOTAGE Video - The Cheating Pandemic
Awesome!
I don't care how thirsty I am. I will not drink Aquafina. That water tastes like shit. Same with Ice Mountain.
Seeing the riots in the beginning which took place in my country (South Africa) kinda sucked ngl
Why would people rush to hospitals?
There is ongoing violence in the streets between USEC, BEAR, the UN, and Russian Federation. Not to mention people panicking and trying to flee as fast as possible. I'm sure there would be loads of injuries. Also I'm sure many hospital workers evacuated, and only a handful stayed behind such as Therapist.
There is a really great Book called One Second After. In this book an EMP renders society back to the dark ages. The main Character has a young daughter that requires daily insulin to stay alive as well as a way to keep it below 50 Deg. F. You can imagine the desperation of parents and spouses trying to get the medicine and or care that their loved ones need to survive within just a few days of a disaster.
If it were me I'd set up a sick meth lab and trade a day of bliss for someone's last meal, ez pz.
Who tf is gonna loot chemicals from the hardware store during a societal collapse?
Most people forget that Americans lived through a real life tarkov during the summer of 2020
And with the situation in Ukraine, we can already see some of the thing’s outlined in this Video.
9 months later we starting to see police flee. Buy kits and train kids
joker will always be right.
Read Ordinary Men. We would all become this, given the conditions
I obviously don't want it to happen, but if a societal collapse were to hit NA, I'd be a little too prepared. Between my cadet experience, military gear collection, and love of the outdoors, I think I'd pack in with a few friends and make something happen. I often think about how I'd act in a situation like that, definitely terrifying, but I think I'd manage well.
While the comforts of modern, first world progress do come with some long term concerns and longevity issues.. let's hope that we find solutions to those problems rather than face collapse. We only need to look to the history books to see just how much death and suffering come with the extinction of a society. That being said, just like one keeps a fire extinguisher not hoping for or expecting a fire... you'd be a fool not to have one. Always be prepared.
2:07 the unknown entity is israel
Love your videos. Didn’t love this one. I would stay away from the PC optimism about society stuff and stick to the lore.
Lore of Tarkov (almost) == history of Russia after collapse of USSR
0:50 hadn't up until the BLM riots but nah that animalistic nature can found in America too sadly...
Animalistic nature breeds Animalistic nature
Animalistic nature breeds Animalistic nature
please mix your audio when it comes to your sssssss my ears get destroyed its hard to listen but great content.
I'll look into the de-esser
I like how there is a 14 minute video on something that can be explained in 30 seconds. 👍
We see it with blm
i have a way to survive tarkov, some might say it is not honorable but i say the darkness will welcome you *rat noises*
Whats the name of the soundtrack in the end? Hauntingly beautiful!
