Escape from Tarkov - Catch All

Someone created a single site you can go to for all maps. Also a really nice customs map I have not seen previously

Nice, thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the link. I found a really nice clan that is big into Tarkov. Very welcoming, no stress playing - learned so much in just a couple of days. Improved my experience of the game immensely.

ak74N is really growing on me. When you fully mod the thing you can get the recoil down even lower than M4. Slower rate of fire than M4 though so hard choice.

That's what i was using that first night with 5 of us. I truly think that's what gave me the upper edge on the fight. My shots were chest and head while the other guys shooting me was hitting my legs. You're right though that RoF on the M4 is brutal. Kinda doesn't matter where you hit.

What if the Escape part of the game is really just ones ability to not play?

Too deep for me

Woah,

How did he shoot around that corner? That was awesome.

There is a new game that shares some similarities to Tarkov in Early Access called The Hunt. Saw one of the high end Tarkov streamers playing the Alpha - looks pretty nifty.

I actually got into the Alpha for it. It's creepy as hell and fun when you can get into a match.

There's another also called SCUM which is close to coming to early access on Steam

Yeah, I signed up for the alpha month or so ago hoping i get in will see.

Not shocking at all if you play. Hence the huge peakers advantage. What they don't tell you is this is the same as PUBG pre last August when the big netcode patch rolled out. The numbers in that video for PUBG are post that patch.

Current patch notes for tomorrow,

https://www.reddit.com/r/EscapefromT...

Big thigns are network update step 1. New helmet hopefully between Kiver/Kolpak. Also Friends now show up top of player list so there is a reason to actually friend people.

Patch made a massive netcode fix. The netcode feels so good. I'm sure it's not perfect but certainly more than 2x better. Although horrible timing with Hunt showdown release.

Yeah probably hit this week. New Map Interstate is also coming with major optimization to shoreline map. Reset. Bunch of new stuff 4 guns multiple new helmets and more. New clothing trader.

I got burned out on pretty quickly.

List of new items. New Items
Bunch of clothing 2 new armor 6 new helmets (+1 new helmet color) 4 new weapons, 2 new vests 3 new backpacks 4 new weapons.

Pretty sizeable update. Now just waiting for "when". So far they just say normal EFT "Soon".

I'm really and starting to wonder if BSG has any idea what they're doing? They launched these poorly thought out "events", wreck the economy and the majority of the player base just quits.
Now they've gone dead silent on the infamous patch/wipe and the servers are virtually empty.

I did 5 Customs runs with my squad last night and we encountered 2 players.

WTF BSG?

Eh, I agree but don't. As someone that works in software.

Now the events, there was massive complaining and people not playing. So they did these to try and keep player numbers up. Now, I don't agree with the events they did, but the idea of trying to do something to keep people playing is understandable. Did they further mess up the economy yes. However, I was proof of how messed up the economy was to begin with. I could of bought 50+ RSASS and 50+ of top helmet. I was not running out of money/gear. So really it just messed it up for everyone rather than before it was messed up for anyone that knew how to play early in the release.

As far as silent. They have been giving info about patch and things that will in it. Everyone wants a date. There are two major problems with this.
1. Software is not like most things in the world. As someone that works with developers everyday I can vouch for this. It's not like building a house where you know I need to do X then Y then Z. I know that ABC can go wrong, so it shoudl take me X time but worst case will be Y. When looking at something like a bug it can take 5 minutes to find it and 2 hours to fix it. It could also take 2 weeks to find it. You don't know. You can make a basic guess but it's rarely even close. So "Soon" is a fine answer IMO.
2. In the last 8 days a very major thing has come to light about the current build. FPS being related to first fire rate now damage. This is very big issue. I would bet they are looking at it quite hard. Hoping (which i doubt they will be able to) they can fix it for this build. I'm sure this was not planned and is also not small.

Overall we are in a Paid Alpha/Beta w/e you want to call it. I love this game but I expect to have periods where I don't want to play it either because A. the state of the game or B. lack of content things I want to do. Currently a bit of both. They are adding a ton of stuff this next patch witch is great jump for 3-4 months on top of the network and other things they have also done in the last few months.

Thanks Escher! That' way more information than BSG has supplied. I really don't understand why Nikita just doesn't come out and say that.

I think I would have rather they just moved forward with just the wipe then people would have had something to play for until the patch is done.

As for the Wipe I would of liked that, you would of liked that. However, if you do them too often, the the guys that only play once a week and just unlocked lvl 3 of trader get mad. So that's just a balancing act because you have people that play 4 hours a week, people that play 15-20 hours a week and people that play 40 hours a week. You will never keep all of them happy with wipes.
