If it was me in this position as BSG:
-EOD gets PvE mode
-PvE gets added as paid option for other editions, $35
-The two p2w items (60m scavs) are exclusively for PvE offline, not real Pvp raids
-Pockets upgrade achievable in game
-Add EOD back as an upgrade below Unheard
Remember: Today is the day to sort out your Wishlist. Once Tarkov starts patching tomorrow, you can't open it any more!
Here's a few pictures/screenshots, but I go through the most common things properly in this video here - starting at 8min, 47 seconds
The first iteration of the in-game
#EscapefromTarkov
survey system is now available to players within the game. The survey can be accessed from the main menu. Upon completion, players will receive an in-game reward.
@Trey24k
9mm really needs to be looked at if nothing else. I'd rather AP6.3 be expensive and recoil be low rather than what we have currently, improving ammo prices and doing nothing to the guns
Next stage of the story. Certainly not perfect, but a big improvement on the previous stances - probably 90% of what we wanted imo.
We don't know the price of the standalone version of PvE, but EOD getting it on release of 1.0 is just about OK.
What do you think?
Oh dear.
The main sticking point is the PvE mode - EOD people very likely don't care about most of this other stuff (buying limits, rep etc).
Limiting it to 6 months of access... Just doesn't do it I'm afraid
Interesting that they finally changed the background map on the location picker screen. Left is now, right is old - the old one is from an old contract wars map as I understand it, but it didn't actually fit to the in-game maps for EFT
Well, the thing finally happened! Totally overwhelmed with all the love & support on the channel this wipe :)
I appreciate everyone watching, and the community that has developed around it all is truly amazing.
This was a pipe dream 3 years ago - but here we are!
One second after reset, the barter is gone - 300k fee for those that can't camp the trader!
Trader resets are the worst mechanic in EFT's economy. Perhaps a "pre-order" system that lets you queue for a reset in advance would be better, while still giving scarcity that BSG wants?
I'd love to see polls of these topics on the launcher. Otherwise you risk listening to the loud minority when everyone else is silently content.
Not saying that is the case here, but it's hard to tell otherwise
I believe you want to get rid of item restrictions on flea (for example you can’t trade m995 ammo). I think this is not a good idea cause everyone will get access to high end weapons/gear. What do you think?
Does anyone else get random bullet cracks with the new audio btw? eg when inside a room, outside shots play the crack sound even when it's impossible?
Not knowing if bullets are coming past you or not is probably THE most annoying bug for me personally within the sound issues
Maybe this is a hot take, but isn't this primarily the business of the two studios regarding ip infringement?
As players, I'm not totally sure why we care - was already well flagged that this game is practically a tarkov copy
** ARENA BREAKOUT - STEALING TARKOV GAME CODE?? **
BSG was right all along...?
A community member reached out to me with stuff he found on a popular cheating forum...people have already ripped the game apart and found copied code from
@bstategames
- using ACTUAL TARKOV BOSS
If everyone buys a full allocation of ammo from the traders, this is roughly how many players can get them:
- 2,000 FMJ SX
- 13,000 M855A1
- 450 7.62x54r BT
- 1,600 7.62x54r PS
@JesseKazam
I kinda wish glasses did something to the effect, would make them more than just a cosmetic and bring a potential advantage to choosing and bringing them into raid as an extra (outside of the few class 1 ricochet chance ones)
Sometimes I wonder why car extracts, of all things, were chosen to level scav rep.
Killing a PMC AND a traitor scav, plus extracting (rare) nets 0.07 - this should be MUCH higher imo, they simply don't compare to the v-exfils
@LogicaISoIution
@nikgeneburn
I disagree tbh, the early game is mostly agreed to be the most fun and removing all the restrictions guts this to around a week and a half.
Imo the progression system we have now is the best it's been in years - and this is from the creator that probably plays less than the rest
I know the stats thing in Tarkov has been dominated by cheat discussions, but I honestly love the fact that we can now see the exact loadout of the player that kills you.
Really does help in analysing deaths vs just the "9mm PST - Head, eyes" that we got before
@MarekRabas
Genuine question: Are you concerned that a one time payment for the game, with microtransactions going to charity, is potentially unsustainable in the long term if the game is successful for 5+ years?
Clearly recent events have seriously sharpened this question in players minds
Finally completed long line yesterday. Although I'm slowly getting better at Interchange, kills on that map still feel incredibly tough as a solo player
Anyone else get hyped finding these? Very few items in Tarkov have the wow factor any more for me, but those that money literally cannot buy is one of them
I think this is the biggest issue now we've had a little bit to think about it.
A new character+mode for the base game REALLY should come under the EOD version too.
Why did BSG not create a whole new version for the PvE mode AND give EOD buyers (Who were promised all extra content free of charge) the perks as well?
If this isn't extra DLC, I don't know what is anymore...
If BSG are committed to no preset swaps mid game in Arena, I think that *ranked* should have a draft like a MOBA, and maybe a cap on the same presets used per team.
Ban/pick rounds would allow the most busted presets to be removed, and the pregame would be more interesting imo
This must be really annoying, but please please focus on the Pestily interview & improvements the community wants instead
Worrying about ip theft feels like a waste of time. Tarkov can't be replicated by copying models imo. There's a reason people always come back- it isn't this
@BigfryTV
we are pretty positive on some cases already, for example some of the gun sounds - 100% stolen (AK74 sounds) some if weapon mods what we saw - stolen too. AK models too. exact level layouts, some of the buildings. we are making this list
While I get it for events & new features being spoiled, this also brings technical mechanics into the spotlight as well.
It's important for players to have a good understanding of why things perform how they do, so that we all can suggest sensible balancing and/or system changes
@Pestily
The three big items that have to be solved to remove FiR properly are:
- Trader flipping
- Hatchet runners
- Early wipe progression
If you just remove FiR without solving these things, old problems come back to haunt us. FiR was not the best, but it did fix these things
After playing
@GrayZoneWarfare
for about 5 hours on stream today and another 2 off, I am very pleased that the memory leak issues do seem to be fixed.
Although performance is not ideal, no crashes at all & off stream I mostly get 55-60 fps with the 5800x3d and 3070 in 1440p
Another day, another update. Basically, EOD owners will get PvE now but rolled out in waves, and BSG are going to add mod support for PvE post launch.
Some other balancing stuff too, but mods especially is a pretty important change of stance.
@nikgeneburn
New tasks are nice - but can we get the "wishlist" menu item moved to the bottom please? It's not important enough to have as the first item in the right click menu!
🔊New updated audio video out today!
Quite a bit has changed throughout patch 0.14, so this consolidates headset testing & many important situations where you can be heard in surprising ways!
Check it out here:

I've been asked to cover flashlights a LOT, so here it goes!
Learned some new things here that I wasn't aware of, plus I'm changing what I use because of the findings :)

Today's update summarises the latest rundown of what each Tarkov account gets after all the back and forth.
Not gonna lie, EOD BTR call in just made me laugh at this stage 😅.
@NoiceGuy_
It's universally too loud. Something should be adjusted, in my opinion either:
a) Scale volume MUCH more strongly with ergonomics (so there is a way to shorten the range of the audio dramatically by taking ergo high on a weapon
b) Give an option for "slow ads" to reduce the noise
This is honestly a fail. Due to having to complete the full 8 hours in one go, the earliest UK players can do is 1pm to 10pm, or the latest being 5am to 1pm.
On this basis I will be pulling out of the challenge as it's simply not workable with my IRL schedule.
Gl to all playing
First day of the Streamer Challenge will start at 1 PM GMT / 8 AM EST on November 6.
Accounts will be sent out one hour before the start of the Challenge.
#EscapefromTarkov
So... the AlienTech muzzle has been nerfed into oblivion, from -19% to -11%. It's now much worse than the Bulletec despite being find in raid only, and effectively a carbon copy of the Blitz which is never used.
This WAS an interesting development for loud M4's - sadly no more
@nikgeneburn
Open servers with PMCs entering and exiting dynamically - would require some element of loot respawning and dynamic spawns too but I think it's the only way to prevent the first 3 minutes of each raid feeling like learning chess openings!
#EscapeFromTarkov
**MANY CHANGES**
- Less Flea Rep required for more slots
- LEDX Craft is BACK FOR EVERYBODY
- SHOOTER BORN IS BACK TO 100 METERS
- CULTISTS 10% SPAWN RATE
- RESHALA 28% SPAWN RATE
- CAMERA RECOIL REDUCED BY 25% FOR ALL GUNS
The installation of
#EscapefromTarkov
patch 0.14.9.6 has begun. The installation will take approximately 5 hours but may be extended if required. The game will not be accessible during this period.
Patchnotes:
I just can't understand how "in-game currency purchase for $, which can be used to buy any item in the game", is pay for convenience.
I'm seeing this take everywhere and I feel like I'm going insane? Surely this is P2W rule
#1
?
I’m gonna be honest some of the people complaining about Arena Breakout having micro-transactions sound like mega pussies 😂
It’s a free to play game, OBVIOUSLY they were going to monetize in some way.
Everything I’ve seen seems more “pay for convenience” than “pay to win”.
