I did. I tried multiple times to try and get into it after winning a key in a giveaway. I just don't get it. I get the mechanics and the gameplay and stuff, but I just don't get "it", it doesn't click with me, I don't find it fun, I find it frustrating. I got a couple kills, and I would snowball, and that was fun, but then I'd just lose it all and it's like it never happened.

Also the bullshit about needing to play nearly every day or your skills degrade is turbofucked.

no steam, no buy

I remember getting into the beta of this and the very second I spawned in, a group of 4 killed me. I instantly uninstalled and never looked back. Yes, I got filtered

It's the only game that offers something like it, either the lack of HUD or the continuity between rounds

Yeah, like, I get that, but for some reason all of that stuff feels severely undercut by the constant wiping of all progress, the chore-like daily logins to preserve stat decay, and more.

i can understand this for quests but what else would you use a wiki for in this game, the map is static and every information about bullets/guns/armor can be seen in game

Any good PvE games with extraction mechanics that will release worst case scenario in 2026 that aren't:
Forever Winter, Quasimorph, Duckov, Zero Sievert, EFT ?

>>723663234
SPT

>>723662301
Quests requiring wiki is bad enough in itself, it's fine wanting people to learn the maps but first things first would be task instructions that don't have vague or straight up wrong instructions. In PvP going through tasks efficiently to level up trader level is important if you don't want to be left out because you have dogshit ammo or poor armor.

>>723663380

Only giant faggots find this game 'fun'. Their idea about fun is to waste 3000 hours and play like a rat and then defend this scam on internet forums.
3000+ hours is roughly 2-3 hours every single day for three years. In that time and with that sort of effort one could learn to play piano or guitar and be pretty decent at it.

>>723663450
Three come to mind right now, it was some of the very first tasks in the game too. There was one about locating a broken down shack out tower on Woods (close to a crashed plane I think) and two about locating trucks on Customs (getting a key from one and planting shit for the other).
The quest text was just fluff without any practical info about the location, which would be nice considering there is no map unless you buy one and bring it in raid (nobody does that and as I said the task text often has no landmarks for orientation).
I only found the link of one of the three, Prapor just rambles like a boomer but provides no actual useful info:
https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/BP_Depot
Also maybe the drunk rambling is intended but it reads like a poor translation from Russian.

Games like this can be fun but I can't imagine being a full time player for a game like this. I'd call myself a casual at these kinds of games but I like FPS games that have a cadence to them and aren't just balls to the wall every nanosecond. I can't imagine a genuine casual audience could ever form around such games.

There was a great term for them that I forget, but fundamentally these guys REQUIRE lots of chaff/prey for them to hunt for their gameplay experience. If you go:
>Okay, here's PVE and here's PVP
They get pissed because it's siphoning off the weaker, less skilled players from being able to be cannon fodder for them. Cocksuckers are so solipsistic (or just selfish) they can't think of anyone else's desires and enjoyment.

tl;dr it's gankfags wanting weak easy prey, not a fair fight.

I've been enjoying Arena Breakout while waiting for the steam Tarkov release.

>>723661150
>>723663380
that's unironically better than having a map in game that would block your vision so why waste time with it?

>>723667705
It's just classic Wolf vs Sheep behaviors. It happens a lot in Full Loot PvP MMOs where the Wolves (coordinated and skilled players) feast on the Sheep (noobs, casual pvp players et al.). The problem with MMOs at least is because the world is persistent Sheep can't ever really catch a break and will eventually just stop playing. This causes the Wolves to eventually resort to feasting on other Wolves, which causes its own frustrations because you have to commit a lot more resources and effort to kill another Wolf. Eventually even certain Wolves will get frustrated enough that they stop playing and it just compounds from there until the game dies. At least with extraction games there are theoretical safeguards in place that let less skilled players thrive.

>>723659915
I couldn't spot people for shit in this game so yes I got filtered. I don't like the autism of having to manually heal sounds and loot. Lost most of my starter shit and stopped playing.

Yes and faggot Buyanov won't see me buying his shit on Steam again (yes, I boughtered tarkov five or four years ago), I play the chinkese bootleg tarkov now instead and have fun
It doesn't want to rape my anus every second and I'm not forced to play against kitted out terminators while using toy guns and joke ammo myself. I could never dream of picrelated in tarkov and it's easy to have in chinkese tarkov
And fucking bots are piss easy compared to cracked aimbots from tarkov
And the game is still balanced enough

Funny how they're going to nerf bots for 1.0 in tarkov because - WOWZERS - people don't want to get killed by fucking bots

>retard who needs maps and HUD elements also falls for the Top Gun Propaganda

>>723669767
Yes? Are you retarded? Especially long bursts of guns talking, the chance of you catching somebody with their 0 armor, empty mags, hands in their guts with a surgical kit are astronomical. Even if they're barely hurt, there's a chance of you catching them in a loot menu. And if you don't, chances are you'll see that player again later, very much ready to contest you after recovering from the fight.. That doesn't even bring up NPCs who will seek you out at times specifically.

It's even better when you're a sniper, people effectively point themselves out for you to attack.

I genuinely think this genre (if you can even call it that) will never be good in multiplayer. Mostly because of cheaters and impact the fun of the game even more than just losing a match in regular FPS. Also how everything nowadays ends up being optimized to death, meta this meta that making the game.

In terms of consumer law I should be allowed to hold my legally purchased firearm in any way that I please, with the stock or brace against my thigh, my nose, my foot, my belly,my shoulder, or my nutsack, yet somehow they believe they have the right to say a brace belong along the forearm and not against the shoulder.

I was the filter for a long while. My favourite thing was wiping out some small time streamnigger's squad and finding the video of it and they broke down into arguing and bitching about whose fault it was (they deleted it later though unfortunately).
Eventually I just got sick of it though. It's a very high effort, high stress game to play at any level, at least solo.
I'll come back for 1.0 to see if anything's actually improved and to do the story, but that's about all. I might even do it in PvE.

>>723664818

Pro tip: there's a "friends" button on the bottom right in the menu. Press "add friend" and look up the names of the "players" you killed. Do it for every dogtag you take from "players" you kill. Easy to check
You're too low level to encounter actual players
And like I said this is good, you learn how to play the game and that's fucking amazing compared to fucking tarkov

They announced they were aware and they escalated it to battleeye(LMAAOOOOOO IMAGINE BEING SUCH A KEK FAGGOT THAT YOU CQNT FIX YOUR OWN CHEATER PROBLEM) and battleeye has done nothing.

>>723672928

They're working with the cheat devs, many Russian/Slav devs does this.
Broken Arrow launched without a replay system (on purpose I believe) so cheaters are impossible to catch if they don't do blatant stuff like having invincible or infinite units.

>>723672716
There are fake PMCs early on, yeah. The longer you play the less you meet them. The game lets you win. For now.

There's a bit of intricacy in the bot department of the game. There are actual players (you will rarely see them for now, almost never), there are fake players of different difficulties ranging from total retards to cracked ones. And then there are bot scavs (those NPCs that curse, yeah) and player scavs. And then there are fake player scavs which is even funnier. They're like usual bot scavs, but they do stuff that scav players do - jump, run, loot (or at least fake it) and really look different from bot scavs. Funny stuff and funny mind games. I pretended to be a bot scav once to shoot some looting player scav from behind. And he turned out to be a bot. Funny

>>723673418
I get that, but still it's fucking shameful, it's so ridiculous that a company that would use a spyware level anticheat would tolerate this shit.

>>723671875
By checking the trucks like the quest says and determining which one they can access. It's not apparent if you're used to jumping straight to wikis

>>723673125
It's open secret that cheaters sustain the game because it requires an entire stack of worldwide servers to continuously work, while most players pay for the game only once, and usually buy the cheapest edition.

The cheaters, meanwhile, are banned now and again for explicit purpose of making them buy the game again. The grace period is very long, so that the cheater gets their money's worth by having fun at everyone's expense, and does it again despite the ban. Cheaters even buy more expensive editions since they get better kit to, which gives them an illusion of being 'stealthier' when they aimbot somebody through the helmet with p2w ammo instead of the classic head/eye.

Many cheaters make money off the game by streaming too, either as covert 'pro-players', or as open 'rage-hackers'. Quite a few streamers were exposed playing with a basic ass cheat that analyzed game's internet traffic and drew a map with player and loot positions on the second screen hidden from the viewers.

>>723673486
Doing nothing is better than doing backhand deals with cheaters.

No it's not a stock by definition because the manufacturer doesn't intend it to be shouldered. If it was meant to be shouldered then the gun would need a tax stamp or you could land in federal prison.

That seems pretty high effort at least, I genuinely thought I was at least seeing some players because I got 3v1'd once and they seemed pretty coordinated in their kill cam.

They still allow shouldering a rifle with a helmet visor without adding a custom stock to the gun?

The Single Player Tarkov mod was pretty good. Looting fucking sucks in multiplayer.
>You gotta find this one Key that has a chance of spawning in 4 different locations that you would never find organically. Also you're in a round with two dozen people who know the map like the back of their hand and have no interest in anything but clicking heads. If you make no progress then come back next wipe you might have a fighting chance, though. Have fun!
A game that has to wipe progress every couple of months to keep the game fun is a game that's fundamentally broken, but instead of fixing the problem the devs gaslight their playerbase into accepting it as part of the experience. I ended up getting into Hunt Showdown instead of Tarkov because an arcade-style extraction shooter is more enjoyable for me.

That video was for advertising the cheat itself, disguised as a complaint. Made cheating mainstream for non-asians and mongoloid russians.

EfT is only for third world cheaters to sell cheat subcriptions and RMT run throughs, trades of rare items that never lose value because they always reset the values when everyone collects the rarest stuff in the game and can afford to defend themselves with high end gear.

Playing EFT today is a waste of time and just a scam.

The devs being money grubbing retards really holds the game back. All the momentum, all the popularity, flushed down the toilet because they are greedy and shortsighted.

Fucking russians man, they got drunk off the USD->RUB and never understood that good service is better than their KGB gulag shit and would've been even bigger.
Their original contract wars game scammed russians so much there are people that cheat in tarkov just to fuck over BSG because of it and eft isnt as popular from their scam reputation.

I'll never understand the single player offline people, sure I get someone might be poor or not able to use their moms credit card, or maybe they are terrified of cheaters, but the entire point of the game is going up against other players. You have the competitive side, strategy, item collection, stress and anxiety, all of that is what makes the game have meaning and it only exists when playing against people.

Yeah the devs suck, cheating is out of control (in all online games for that matter), and the price is hilarious but there is literally no value to playing a game like this offline by yourself. Fucking weird zoomers man.

I've been playing Arena Breakout and holy shit is it pointless to play solo. I *always* feel outmatched. It's nothing but campers in the early minutes of the game. You spawn at one compound and immediately get killed enroute to another by a sniper laying prone under an evergreen. Farm is the only reasonable map in the game because it's not just a dense forest for most of it.
>current mission is to kill players in Northridge
fuck that, I'm not just going to camp to do it

There is no point ij playing Tarkov. The second you manage to find ANYTHING good inside a raid, every cheated on the map(there will be several) can see it in your inventory and they'll make a beeline straight to you.
The very business model of this game is to try and make buck of cheaters who get banned and then have to buy the game again.

What do you have fun doing?

I think you can safely delineate two groups of Extraction shooter players. Those that played STALKER in their youth and those that didn't.

>>723680947
Not him but engaging with the quest system and gunsmithing is what does it for me. Scavs aren't completely clueless and some bosses are tanky as fuck if you don't have the right gear. As someone who plays Hunt: Showdown which is only somewhat similar, the PvE elements in that game are practically negligible to the point where I'd have the same opinion you have. But for Tarkov, I feel like there's enough to do, shoot, and loot for PvE to be a reasonable experience.

>>723681205
So you walk around and shoot at bots while grinding quests for....?

>>723681205

Yeah, I have fun getting into gunfights with bots using guns I've put together in configurations I enjoy. It's the same type of enjoyment people get out of Borderlands or Diablo clicking on the same mobs for hours.

>>723681573
Like the other anon said, it's like playing fortnite by yourself with no one else on the map. Walking around doing quests, fighting bots, there is no meaning to it without other players. Where's the fun in walking around without any danger? Where's the fun in doing quests without struggle or fear? Where's the fun in any sort of progression when you didn't earn any of it?

Zoomer mindset I suppose, fearful, want everything without effort.

It's a novel concept but it gets old pretty fast. The only thing the game really has for it is the insane risk-reward ratio which can lead to intense feelings that you don't really get playing other games (adrenaline dumps, legit apprehension and fear, euphoria). The only problem is the game is so drawn out you have to play it as a part time job at least if you want to progress. The retarded 10-20 minutes it takes to get back into matches, from re gearing and waiting in the queue, makes it even worse. That's probably the hardest part for me, the whiplash from intense fights to sitting in the menus and playing inventory simulator give the game a weird rhythm that's hard to maintain for long periods of time.

>>723681935
Yeah, it basically improves on everything Tarkov has but has less content and throws free money at you regularly. It also doesn't really change anything about gunfights but in a game that's blatantly trying to simplify Tarkov, you can't really change that one. The maps are a bit too small though, you get killed straight out of spawn pretty frequently. Otherwise, not having to grind skills or the base is extremely comforting and you can just focus on actually shooting at niggas. Only really base progression that matters is upgrading the amount you can sell at the flea market at once, your passive hunger and thirst stats decaying slower in raid (it caps after two upgrades at 30% and is pretty cheap), and the reloading bench.

It's not a single player game anon, it's a multiplayer game that you are too afraid to play. There is no narrative, no story, no campaign, it's an online multiplayer "deathmatch" that draws most of it's enjoyment from the tense moments created by players fighting other players. What you are doing is avoiding the fun of the game by cutting out other players from the experience.

>I don't *want* the pressure of heightened adrenaline when I'm playing a video game
Anon that IS the game, it's not the way someone else plays, it's the way EVERYONE plays. The entire purpose of tarkov is to be stressful, the reason why people find it fun is overcoming that stress and prevailing in a high stakes environment. If you don't find it fun then you shouldn't be playing the game period. It's like someone playing a racing game and complaining that that the other cars are actually racing, or playing a shitty moba and complaining people aren't just standing around farming creeps while socializing.

what the absolute fuck is wrong with you

>>723682597
Anon you're speaking to somebody who probably enjoys (current) Counter Strike or some form of hero shooter. They're all the same, if a game isn't balls to the walls competitive with 'stakes' they cannot fathom any amount of appeal to it. They probably get a high off of gambling on keys or literal sports betting. The concept of games for leisure boggle the mind of the Adderall-addled Fortnite zoomers.

Then you get left with only the people who WANT to engage with the game as designed.

This thread is hysterical. You have no lifers getting mad about people wanting to enjoy the game in an enviorment without cheaters, and people who dedicate their whole life to cheesing new players.
It reminds me of the mmos I played. The gankers would rely on a stream of new players and scrubs who only wanted to pve to gank and the moment they got their shit slammed by an equally skilled opponent they would rage and mald. Thats tarkov now.
The worst personality type clusters of people who can only get their daily dopamine quota getting a good number of kills off of new players who just want to chill and learn the game.

It's not even that, I'm perfectly fine killing other players of any skill level because it makes me feel good. HOWEVER, Tarkov's mil-sim/exploration appeal is better utilized just in an interesting exploration PvE game. Even removed from the fact that there are rampant cheaters and extract campers, the world that Tarkov is just better suited to PvE looting. It's got a great atmosphere, and it's phenomenal that someone managed to make a standalone mod so people who want to enjoy that to the fullest can.

>>723683220
Frankly it's a massive drag on the gaming industry. In a normal universe people who don't like a game or who aren't cut out for it would simply avoid it and go play something else, admitting that it's just not for them. In this clown universe we find ourselves in these people instead choose to latch on to a game they don't like and do what they can to drag it and it's community down to their level because they dislike that other human beings enjoy something they don't. These mentally ill individuals take pride in being bad at a game, they enjoy harassing people who play a game the way it's meant to be played, and generally infect a games playerbase.

They'll sit here and bitch and moan about being called out, spam reaction images, and cry that they are totally having fun but the reality is they are the only ones seeking validation for what they are doing, broadcasting their behavior in an attempt to get a pat on the back.

It's dead, Jim. There are better ways to experience the thrill of semi-asymmetric PVP than some jank slav game filled with cheaters.
Tarkov would shine as a blatant STALKER clone with 0 multiplayer but there's too much money in being a streamerbait PVP game so they'll never achieve what they set out to do. SPT is the closest you can get to what the game SHOULD be.

The only good thing about Tarkov is the sheer attention to detail when it comes to gun autism. Everything else is secondary,

The gun autism is truly unmatched and is the actual secret sauce. It's why literally every extraction shooter/mode fails, though it seems ABI is doing alright for itself as an exception.
If Tarky leaned more into creating a good, immersive, single player experience, it'd be hailed as the highest order of kino

It's not the point of Single Player Tarkov - it's actually meant to be played alone.

So let me get this straight
This guy (singular) is angry that a mod *exists* because it isn't "the way its meant to be played" - isn't that the literal fucking point of a mod?

>>723684783
It's not even a mod anymore, they made it part of the base game.

>>723684714
The point of tarkov is overcoming a stressful environment created by the PvPvE design of the game. When you take out the other players you are in fact removing 99% of what the game is about.

Yes you are as stupid as someone who decides to play a Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game by themselves offline.

>>723684714
I can't believe someone would play SPT with other people. That ruins the whole point of the game. Shoving mindless multiplayer in a game that it doesn't belong in.

>>723684829
>you are in fact removing 99% of what the game is about.
that's just your fucking opinion nigger
go back to choking on Pestily's cock

>>723684829
>The point of tarkov
Yeah, that's not what I said. Are you ESL? Your reading comprehension is terrible. I said *Single Player Tarkov*. Not the same game. Try again.

>>723684713
Ironman doesn't hit right but group ironman is perfection. Hardcore ironman OSRS with self imposed restrictions if you want, is the way to go

>>723684894
Tarkov isn't single player though. You're not playing Tarkov at all

>>723684880
I'm not sure why you are so obsessed with streamers and homosexuality, is that normal for people with gear fear?

>>723684929
That's what they're saying, dude.

>I didn't get filtered by Tarkov
>I just play the single player mod
You did get filtered by Tarkov. This fact is what's hard for the SPT babbies to get over and why there is conflict in this thread

>>723659915
filtered by cheaters yeah.

>>723684894
Then why are you in a Tarkov thread? This isn't a ***Single Player Tarkov*** thread is it?

>>723684898
>OSRS with self imposed restrictions
Hey look how easy that was. You don't need the special snowflake by your name and they don't need to add a fuckton of OP minigames that ruin every other aspect of the real game

>>723684929
>Tarkov isn't single player though. You're not playing Tarkov at all
Exactly! You can have fun playing your game that I want nothing to do with, and I'll play my game you want nothing to do with.

>>723684987
It really is this simple.

>>723685073
Then get out of the Tarkov threads

>>723685123
Well, I don't want to do that because there's still some overlap. Guns, items, quests etc. Except my game is PvE so we have a few things to talk about. What guns should I look out for? Or keys for quests?

It sounds like you didn't play it and just regurgitating the tired skilled opinions of twitch streamers who depend on Tarkov being top dog
>babies first extraction shooter
So? And every match I have played had pve. Everyone. And unlike tarkov, at least I had a chance of winning in DMZ.
>least popular mode FYI
So?

>>723685064
Yeah, exactly. If doing shit all by yourself matters to you, then that's fine. Normal ironman is just half assing and indirectly causing balancing issues in the game normally; HIM for full autism leaderboard chasing with all the ball busting it should entail, or just play normally with whatever set of rules lets you have fun.
Fucked up my post and wasn't sure if it would be parsed correctly, and I didn't feel like making a new post just to insert the word "or".

I'm not sure you know what the term exhausted means, anons are laughing as the filtered (you) continue to drag out their denials for dozens of posts. You'll keep going too, as long as someone reminds you that this is a Tarkov thread and you aren't playing it.

>>723685346
I'm pretty sure the thread started with people admitting as much and then saying they had more fun with SPT. Then shitposters came in personally offended by that statement and started grilling them on how they're having fun wrong. See:

Check the car trunks by the shitters at Customs shortcut every time you're close if you don't want to be roadblocked by database part 2.
For guns it's b urself; whatever feels good to use and what ammo you have. After level 3 traders things open up a lot more, but the 74u is good since you can mount attachments from level 1 and scavenge common ammo. At level 2, use either the UMP, or my choice of VSK/9A-91 for a good, easy access, cheap and good ammo suppressed weapon; SP-5 still wrecks armor and the 9A-91 still has like 70 ergo with a suppressor.

>>723686635
I have no idea what game you're playing

>>723686672
Single Player Tarkov. We have the same guns/ammo and quests as Tarkov. What's the minimum ammo armor pen for Killa?

>>723683597
dud if you can deal with the in game inventory you can set up SPT
also PvE isn't included in the base game so if you bought it on steam you'd still need to also get the $25 add on after that. I think that's the price
but also SPT is gonna be pretty CPU intensive so if you have an older cpu that could make performance suck

>>723686635
Tagilla on factory is a good boss to fight if you want to try aiming for them and get used to their AI. Some are more protected/more vulnerable than others, Tagilla in particular has armor that doesn't cover his throat area so you can actually kill him around his armor quickly if you can land your shots there. Shotguns work good for either aiming for this (easier with an SMG), or for hitting his legs/belly to just empty his total health pool.

So I've just binge watched a bunch of videos on sains ai mod in sp tarkov, and apparently you can customize the bots settings to be as good as other tarkov players... is this true? Anyone that's used it can you attest to it?

>>723686737
Killa's got level 3 soft armor and level 5 ceramic plates that can break easily, I killed him a couple times early game with the 9A-91 by aiming center mass and letting the recoil carry up a little into his throat area, you'll either hit that and he'll fall over or bust his armor quickly.
