You're still going to die a lot. But the changes reduce the suck. You gonna be playing it?
dude im right with you i couldnt play and then i decided because of the patch to try again and omg im killing servers like wtf this is awesome
No Hause i dont have a pc
Started the wipe and I’m liking it. Played around in a single player practice on the new map running around vaulting on things. There are a lot of places where you can abuse the vaulting but I still think it’s a good change
So cool to see you in Tarkov man, for me even before this patch this is one the best games ever, the feeling, the satisfaction when accomplishing a goal or just getting a single kill it's unmatched.
Are you playing EFT Arena also?
And the game has tons of cheaters
The recoil change is godlike. So, so nice! Basic, unmodified weapons are finally viable and not a jumpy mess, like it should be IRL.
Have you shot any ar full auto? You have zero control after the 3rd bullet
@@TheUltimateHacker007 Are you high ? The recoil is near perfect
@@theslavicrat3784 the gun bounces like crazy and the sights become completely unaligned. My pmc is almost holding his gun sideways. You're just describing how pistols shoot
Full auto of what caliber? Up to assault rifles caliber (5.56) full auto is definitely viable in fairly close encounters as long as you control it (and in game you control it with the mouse). It's only battle rifles that are really bad in full auto.@@TheUltimateHacker007
@@TheUltimateHacker007 have you actually played this wipe?? One of the main upgrades to recoil is that your sights don’t go off your screen…
As someone who absolutely adores Tarkov and has hit max traders every wipe I've played, it's great to see that not only do people who had a rough time with the game previously have much more interest in it now, but that experienced players who liked how it was are ALSO REALLY enjoying it. I didn't think BSG could really please everyone, but it seems they've gotten closer than they ever have with this patch.
exactly it's so exciting to see how most people are really enjoying this wipe. bsg is winning rn for sure
I think you guys are nuts. Im casual and tried to play this wipe and I’ve had nothing but ultra sweats camping objectives and head face after head eyes after top of the head again and again and again.
You could tell me to get gud, but I already know I’m shit and I don’t think that’s possible outside of 1000s of hours put into the game.
@@ryanmitchell4044 I can bet that your problem is running from spawn instantly to complete objectives. Best way to complete quests at start is to run night raids and wait some time before moving from spawn. This way you will avoid most people and when it's 20 minutes to raid end most quests doors will be open as well. Tarkov is slower game then most people realise :)
@@ryanmitchell4044 casual play can be tough but like the pepe guy says, you should take your time when trying to get those early wipe quests done because pretty much everyone has the same objectives. if you just take it slow you'll make it!
@@rarestpepe8835 that’s a weird assumption, I waited in the bushes at customs for 20 minutes for these people to leave the objective. The last thing I’m doing is just B lining it into an objective, but they weren’t ever planning on leaving they were there for me.
Eventually got to the point I was starving to death. Got up knew there was a player somewhere inside the tree in front of me, but that didn’t matter. Head face. I couldn’t see him at all staring right at his muzzle flash, but he saw me like I was standing in an open field. One of countless times.
Before the recoil made me feel like a small child. No grown man has that much recoil
nahh now everyone is a USPSA grandmaster
Clearly the devs haven't either.
That's a huge generalization, a mp5 9mm full auto is nothing compared to a SA58 3 0 hate full auto. @@collinmurphy107
@@collinmurphy107dawg I know from personal experience full auto guns do NOT have tarkov recoil
@@collinmurphy107 might wanna hit the gym btw.
SMG pray would be meta early stages
You’ve never actually played Tarkov if you haven’t unlocked the flea at least once
real
Facts, ive been playing since 2018 but never have gotten past lvl 20ish in a wipe and i still feel like a noob. Quiting before unlocking the flea is like quitting in the tutorial lol
Plot twist, people could have played tarkov before the flea was implemented
Right the game becomes completely different hahaha
Flea marketing propaganda
1:15 called the mp5 a rifle, im revoking your tactical card
well... the barrel is rifled, so?... :D
it uses 9mm which blows the lung out of the body so it's basically a rifle
It's got a stock! What would the ATF call it???
@@TactiGamer not a rifle? its not chambered in rifle caliber therefore it is not a rifle..
@@void8010 he's obviously joking
It actually makes me feel better that i was not alone in this exact same situation 😂
THANK YOU!!!!!!! I stopped playing Tarkov because I don't have a lot of time to sink into Tarkov since I work out of state. An them implementing this system allows me to actually play the Game with my hands turning into a Sweat Factory
5:38 Hi! Tarkov pro here. You can bind healing items to numbers by hovering over them with your mouse and using numbers 4-0 on your keyboard :)
In order to have decent firearms, you had to use like all kinds of attachments to make the gun bearable. Now it’s different and I love it.
im the high level, hour sink player that you mentioned, and this update is absolutely gorgeous for everyone. early level progression is more fun than its ever been, and my friends who are pretty casual about playing tarkov have been on all the time, loving every second. the uptick in new players is EXTREMELY noticeable, and i love voiping and helping out the new guys. matching times are also great, as in the past youd be stuck in 8 minute queues on populated servers, but now i average 2-3 minute matching times. im really excited for the future of tarkov now, because it seemed to look pretty dull the past few months prior to this release.
Yeah same here 8k hours and counting already level 25 and I love seeing all these new players. Glad to see the casuals coming in (free kills) and seeing more people enjoy this beautiful game
I'd very much enjoy hour long videos of your journey in tarkov tacti. It'd be very entertaining to watch you get slowly better and better, and learn which meds heal heavy bleeds :)
Good stuff, I'm happy that this patch has opened the game up to you and other people like you. It's a great thing. When Tarkov is good, there's no other game like it and this patch has introduced a lot of good.
A Coop/PVE Tarkov with toned down not quite as BS AI would be amazing.
Oh yeah, that'd be THE GOAT thing to happen, honestly.
You should look into stalker gamma 💯
@@dotdot-yt Or SPT, but neither of them has coop
theres a new game coming out called grey zone warfare, should be what youre looking for. Its like ghost recon wildlands but more realistic, first person, and pvp as well.
Gonna give Tarkov another go now
You'll love it👍🏼
I think you'll like it now, Terry!
its awesome.
put it in reverse terry!!!
We await your opinion, if you enjoy do let us know!
Im so happy that my fps skills actually play a role from lvl 1. Was hard to push through before knowing some high lvl dude had no recoil while my gun would fly out of my hands
You are speaking out of my soul bro. Have had exactly the same experience as you and I am sooooo happy now. I can finally make use of my cs:go fps games aim
Purely from the perspective of realism, super sweaty pvp and tactical shooters the recoil was crazy
Considering guns actually feel like shooting guns in other FPS games now, I enjoy it a lot more.
Semi auto and short bursts have been working wonders for me with pretty much bare bone, stock guns.
As someone who can’t no life the game but has decent FPS skills, as long as I can get decent ammo now, even stock guns are useable to kill chads.
Yeah you still can’t get decent ammo without high level traders.
Are the ammo and armor changed worth coming back? Because i enjoyed the game even with the recoil but didnt like that i was at a huge disadvantage because i couldnt get access to good armor or ammo
Really cool to see Regular MilSim CZcams enjoying Tarkov this wipe.
Hope you stick with it!
As another milsim guy I say Tarkov is still arcade to milsim standards but its slowly moving there.
@@17MrLeon Lol sure thing bud.
The new recoil plus armor hitboxes is a godsend ,both in realism ,zero blunt damage for hard plates, and recoil control for a stout ,experienced person .
No blunt damage for plates isn't a good thing
@MudHut67 It's realistic, arkady game mechanics are for dota and fortnite . Tarkov is going in the right direction with realism .
@@FISSIONINITIATEDSUNRISE it's not realistic at all, you haven't a clue what you're talking about. Anything other than steel will have blackface deformation, especially as the plate degrades/loses durability. With steel you don't have blackface but you do have spalling sending shrapnel into your arms, neck and face. Please do explain to me how having plates negate all damage is less arcadey and more hardcore than having them still allow blunt damage, little kiddo.
@MudHut67 Backface deformation on most ceramic lev. 4s for most calibers, even multiple hits within a reasonable amount, is basically zero . The spall coating on the metal ones,even on plain ar500, can catch the spall completely from nearly a 20r mag of 308. Even cheap Chinese ones perform similar and the miniature small stray fragment after about 15 shots of 762x39 is usually small enough to be caught by the plate carriers fabric .If you dont use fancy ap ammo or 300win mag + calibers deformation on the good brands is mostly non existent . Not to mention that most ingame plates are anti spalling coated steel plates. Its plain physics that bullets have less energy than gun recoil couse the recoil is the countereffect of the bullet weight + gasses sum and small disentegrating chunks of metal carry little momentum and impart even less ,so as we've seen online gettin shot in plates feels less than the recoil and is mostly not noticeable under battle conditions, buthurt boy who cant take criticism,self reflection too much . Dont worry, when you finally grow up, you would give your arms to be a kid again .
@@FISSIONINITIATEDSUNRISE is it realistic? Sprinting indoor and long jumping trough corridors, midair jump spraying etc :D You can still sprint up the hill / upstairs like you are ice skating, movement speed is too fast for such shooting precision, it should be down to 50-60% in my opinion cause the character is more jogging than walking with that movement speed but that's just my opinion
Ive tried the patch and it feels good, But this video gave me the push i needed to actualy sit down and try the game out for real. Thank you Tacti!
i just bought tarkov a few hours ago and i’m excited to hop in
I never really undestood the recoil from previous patches, so much for your character being a PMC eh... I'm really enjoying this wipe so far, more so than other ones.
Having high recoil made sense for the Scavs at least, because they are meant to be just regular people who's training might be at best, a half-remembered conscription where they didn't learn shit.
@@TripleAlfafa the main problem wasn't the high recoil (though that was one of them), it was how the recoil handled. the rifles or any other gun with a stock would have insane muzzle flip and just bounced around, which is physically impossible when firing a stocked firearm. it's meant to recoil into your shoulder and upwards, as depicted with the new recoil.
i could see the purpose, like maybe it could be tied to the mastery mechanic and the more you use a weapon the faster you can handle and manage recoil
its because the game is an RPG rather than just a shooter so you're expected to get better at skills through use, leveling and getting better attachments. good in theory but just not implemented well. so many people see it as just a hard shooter and forget its closer to an MMO-RPG grind than other shooters out there. but the complaint is the same, the recoil sucked hard and didn't make sense lore wise, as you said with the whole trained PMC idea. this is the first wipe where ive hit flea and level 2 traders in 3 days flat where before it took me weeks. i finally feel like i can actually fight and win.
They aren't regular people. The scav description says they are former pmc's@@TripleAlfafa
Four or five wipes and never unlocked the flea market? Finally, someone who gets me and my experience
I only got to lvl 20 after months of playing but never winning fights, basically headbutting my way to the flea, god i wasted so much time in eft
@@elgringofeo9348same on the very off chance I win a fight in this game it almost certainly comes down to pure luck. I can be aiming right at someone and not hit them at all and for them it’s like my character is one big head and eyes.
@@ryanmitchell4044 yeah gunfights feel off for me in eft in a way ive never seen before, idk if its desync or whatnot but ive generally am fine in any other game, im not great but im decent, its always felt off
never unlocked the flea market? HOW??
One can unlock the flea market in 3-4 weeks just by doing the fetch quests and not killing 1 pmc.
@@elgringofeo9348 @ryanmitchell4044 what you are saying is exactly how i experienced this game for multiple wipes until i learned the following which totally transformed the game for me:
1. there is always desync: if you wait for the person to come around the corner before shooting, that person is actually ahead and sees you first. you must always push, not react, charging around the corner will give you the lag advantage.
2. ammo ammo ammo ammo: what comes out of the gun is more important than any gun or armour. a worn out m4 from a scav with good ammo is more deadly than a 3000 000 rouble HK416 build with weak ammo.
using low grade ammo against enemies with even cheap armour who has good ammo puts you at a disadvantage because you have to hit him with 10-15 rounds because your low grade ammo is being absorbed by their armour, while it only take like 3-4 of their good ammo to blast through your armour and kill you first.
the above 2 points are why you feel like you are getting killed instantly while you gun does nothing: tis because you are lagging behind the enemy and you are hitting him but your weak bullets does not kill whilst their good ammo kills you first.
3. full auto is the name of the game: there is no single shot nothing if its an assaults rifle or smg. you go out of your way to get the best ammo. if you got weak rounds aim for the thighs or if you got armour piercing rounds aim center mass then MAG DUMP until the enemy falls over. the trick is to control the recoil and keep moving while hitting the target . no crouching or prone single shot pew pew. its drrrrrrr down sight whilst strafing left or right.
4. he ain't dead until you see his stash.
5. there is always another enemy, double check before looting.
6. don't play on the standard edition, minimum prepare for escape edition- the standard stash is just way too small in the beginning. having a larger stash (and secure container) for quest items and gear before unlocking the flea is like pay to win.
Super excited to get back into this game. Hoping to get my friends into it!
This update brought me back to tarkov and wow, I can actually enjoy the game now.
Glad they finally listened to the players, about time, cause I was scared the game was going to die
It probably still will Nikita has shown he doesnt really want to listen to players
Only issue are there are still a whole lot of cheaters and a lot of my friends who I shilled this game out to loved it but have trouble telling a cheater from a regular players, so they stopped playing :/
Thanks for this vid, never got into tarkov but my friends were recently asking me to play it after this update, but didnt go into why it was better - only touched on the recoil. The fact ground zero is level capped makes me much more inclined to want to try raids vs getting beamed by some really good player. Great vid!
Hey man never seen your channel, but im glad i find it now, quality content.
I love this! I liked playing Tarkov in early 2023 but getting killed by No-Lifers ruined the experience for me so i'm glad i can enjoy the game and not be a ultimate gamer
If ur not drinking alone in your shower after a session of tarkov, then you aren’t playing tarkov
yeah i like to feel that when is my fault and not some dumb rng and rpg mechanics
The snowball effect in tarkov is HARD! Gear and especially ammo makes such a huge difference, that you barely stand a chance without leveling the traders. As someone that did all the quests for numerous wipes, i dont want to quest anymore. Means i sadly cant play tarkov no more, but its fair. Hope yall r havin fun with it🎉
Nah, you still can buy good medicine, decent armor, mid and some high tier weapon with acceptable ammo, grenades, backpacks, armored masks (even META) and so much other stuff just from the Flea. You need to lvl up the traders only for better prices, 5+ armor plates and some limited things like RPD, Spear, KS-23, AXMC. Now skill is more important than raw price of equipment on a PMC.
@@remix2822 you dont need armor this wipe cause you will still die from head throat most of the time with current recoil control and any shitty bullet will penetrate that class 3 throat protection :D I also disagree with skill is more important now then before, I was smashing those geared bois on shoreline resort / interchange and customs running in just tactec and as val / sa-58 previous wipes and i didnt even need to make meta val, just any ergo grip in front with laser cause aiming down the sight in this game doesnt reward you at close-mid distance, people werent that afraid to push previous wipes, now its just waiting game when they will hear your steps, not even try to crab walk, people will just sit in 1 spot for 20 minutes afraid to peak and since there is little to no recoil and extra too many hitboxes if you get ambushed by such rat you wont survive this time because you will get head throat or armpit hit, spraying with svd / shotguns and other 762 calibers feels like shooting a bb gun, now game is not rewarding for those who spend many hours playing it, no point in playing 6-8 h daily, if you remember how it was in alpha tarkov(if u had a chance to experience it) fights in my opinion were much better in alpha cause of very bad recoil that forced people to push each other at close distance (there was no face hitbox back then btw, headshot was just a headshot), fights were longer and they felt in my opinion more rewarding, even when you got that shitty loot from the enemy (cause there was little content in game) the feeling after won fight was really good and there were so many 4-5 man squads all the time, fun times
I am a new player, but I've learned a lot in this first month. I just unlocked Flea, which is great. But before I unlocked it, Fence was my best friend. He sells T4 armor often, ammo that penetrates for cheap, and weapons for all tastes. Really nice tbh.
My biggest gripe actually was the extract zones not being shown. Are they now? If not then im good.
The fact recoil is manageable this wipe and that armor hitboxes have been reworked 100% you can be casual and still have a fighting chance. The new hitboxes to the armpit/neck (usually unprotected) are a gamechange for everyone
Yesterday I killed a lvl 26 ttv sweatlord, and even got his armour intact. Armpit meta is real :-)
@@kmieciu4everwill it sit in your stash for a couple weeks?
@@Boosted_aj Already lost it to a lvl 1 player. It appears that AK-74M with PSO-1 does mąkę a good DMR :-)
It might be easier now for new players but let me tell you I still encountered that Tarkvos arcade bullet sponge moment emptying whole mag of 5.56 into player not killing him. I did shot guy in the head and when he survived that I fired entire burst into him and he still survived. I might be used to more realistic shooters like Arma or Insurgency but I think Tarkov still could move more to realism away from the arcade feel
As someone with an unhealthy amount of hours in Tarkov, I am so stoked for more players getting into the game again! Tarkov is in its best state it has ever been in right now!
Problem is the game keeps getting more and more grindy after every wipe, especially now that more stuff than ever is locked behind crafting which is a mechanic that only rewards those who spend a lot of time playing to maximize the workbench.
Oh, and it's even worse if you don't own the EOD since the game is designed on purpose to be frustrating and pushing you into buying it, which could be fine if you kept the hideout progress, but it becomes stupidly boring when you're forced to do it every single wipe.
I don't like quests in Tarkov. I like how maps are designed with a lot of details but that's problem where players see me and I can't see them. That's why I quit Tarkov.
Ye grinding up hideout becomes really tedious, and I played a lot of arena so I missed the beginning of the wipe, and now it kinda feels pointless cuz I can't possibly keep up with all the chads, I think im gonna stay with arena this wipe.
A step to the right direction, but it's not enough. The main problem is that most people join teams. We need 2 different modes, one with teams and one solo.
then tarkov wouldnt be tarkov cope with it
Then don't engage the squads. play smart. play for survival.
@@Septicshites I was playing this game almost from the beginning, don't tell me what is Tarkov.
Tarkov is not Fortnite. There are no rules about teaming, you can team with whomever you want whenever you want.
@@johnrenzcahilig9858 it's not that simple.
I really hope they expand the level based match making to the entire game somehow. What I would really want though is some kind of progression based matchmaking. They have said that there will be storyline missions to progress through the game and actually "Escape" from Tarkov, so it would make sense to group players by where they are in the story.
You could have maps unlock as you progress and also multiple versions of each map. Probably only 2 for each map; one without the boss and one with. That way the game would get progressively more difficult as you move towards the end of the story.
100 percent
No. I think that's to far..killing some high lvl juicer with meta everything is part of the fun
@@steveng7007 oh yeah true, but maybe ground zero could have proper matchmaking for the noobs to lvl up?
I am a little similar. I've played Tarkov for a while now, since the patch before the shoreline release patch. And there was only one time where I was good at the game and it was the only time I unlocked the flee and it was around when Labs came out. And after that I was back to trash. But I am glad the game is getting better : )
I agree that a lot has improved with this patch. But cheaters and desync as well as bush campers are still here. So I doubt that the honeymoon phase will last very long. People are as always overexited because they got new toys so to speak. This will subside once they get shit on enough in a week or two.
Really appreciated the Romans 12:12 quote, lets me know not all gamers are degenerates XD
i appreciated the verse at the end... never noticed you did that before
I think every one of his videos have it!
love the video and the quote at the end, earned my sub and notifications
I am not first and I liked my own coment.
I liked it too don't worry
No, they can not. As long as there is a flea market....
The flea is a gutted shell of its former power. Really just useful for hideout and gun parts now. There's almost no good gear on the flea.
what? its gives access to better parts before you can unlock them if anything it helps
You mean the one way to reliably get just about anything you want?
The traders don’t offer shit, and the shit they do offer is, well, shit.
I like being able to kit out a weapon to my satisfaction without having to spend dozens of hours questing (punching myself in the crotch) to get rep
Bro is onto nothing 🔥 🔥 🔥 🗣🗣🗣
In your tarkov, the casual playerbase will have absolutely no chance against the streamers/no lifes who play 7 hours a day due to gear inequality being through the roof. Any altercation to item rarity and loot spawns has only ever been in favor of the extreme players, since their hours mitigate the rarity compared to everybody else. We have already seen this with the flea-hightier ammo changes. These players still run 5a1/995 every raid, yet nobody else can get their hands on even 6a1. The flea market helps balance this.
the bit at 2:23 where the scav runs out the door and then you can see him run the other direction 2 seconds later made me holler
Finally a kiddy pool for me to learn the game vs what was the previously a shark tank for new Trakov players such as my shelf.
Do you only match with players below Level 15 on Ground Zero or on all maps?
Actually you match with people up to level 20 still. They have plans to change this to 2 separate maps 1-14 and 15+, because trying to do ground zero right now is horrid since those 15+ people get flea and can just dominate the map, which is why I'm still level 5 and unable to finish the quests lol.
Bro Tarkov is still so hard yet rewarding with so much pain involved. even with all the changes i hope you stay as optimistic as you are in this video. This game isnt for everyone but if youre enjoying it im happy. ive wanted you to make tarkov content for years. Keep it up! -5000hour tarkov rat
No. It's a “crabs in a bucket” map. Need to reduce the number of PMCs, reduce the number and pace of scav spawns, and open up at least 2 routes in and out of every quest POI.
As is, the quests funnel everyone together and only the survivor Might get out to ding the quest complete. Maybe.
This is awesome news. Never played it as knew I dont have time. I would love to do a video with you teaching me Tarkov.
i tried playing and ive just been dying the most stupid ways. literally died to a 1 shot in the forearm.
Ok hear me out for ppl starting their first wipe. This is my 3rd wipe. Each time the wipe happens I always get discouraged to play because I worked so hard to get high level. I always started the wipe late usually between 1-2 months. I actually enjoy it because there is not as much competition for the common quests. Yeah you run into ppl with gear but they aren't sitting there camping a quest like they do at the start of wipe. This wipe is the first wipe that I started day 1. I find that you don't get as much help if you are new. People are scrounging for any gear they can get. Where if you start wipe late and run into a chad one he doesn't want your trash gear and two low level dog tags are useless.
Actually a great video tackling how the recoil patch made the game more accesible for new comers
I was an early adopter of Tarkov. Introduced my friend to the game for my second wipe and we enjoyed it a lot. I then quit early into the next wipe due to the many issues with playing as a "casual" while he kept playing for many many wipes. It was always kinda annoying because the concept was so good, I liked the hardcore elements etc. but it got to a point where it didn't feel hardcore, rather a literal job to keep up.
I think this is a step in the right direction to make sure that the game mechanics are implemented in a way that feels hardcore and feels Tarkov, but also doesn't leave the game borderline unplayable for people who can't dedicate their life to grinding it. I always loved the hardcore elements and would never want it to change (i'd go play warzone or DMZ if I wanted that), so I am glad that they're now finding a way to maintain that hardcore feeling while fixing a lot of the issues that came with that.
Definitely gonna have to redownload and give it another chance.
Is anyone else having trouble installing tarkov. I know it can’t be my PC it’s a new 3090 custom build and everytime I hit install on the launcher. Nothing happens
will this make some weapon stats unnecessary? since you usually had to spend like 300k to get accuracy that good but if it comes stock does that mean that 300k gun has no change or just pinpoint accuracy?
marauders is also pretty nice modern extraction shooter although it does have some older guns and is technically in space still has some nice gunplay especially since all the updates they released
Early wipe is fun times. There is always someone below you in the food chain and you can get into many fights and win. Also with the new recoil the fights are much less RNG.
I do expect late wipe to be pretty much the same though. Most of the timmies quit and you are left with serious gamers who rule the maps.
But early wipe is still fun.
That's true, but I've not felt so refreshed at the start of the wipe ever, even my first wipe felt so much more unfun compared to this one, and I was on the verge of skipping this wipe. Hopefully with all the additions and balances there's more longevity throughout the wipe.
I was once in a similar situation with tarkov. I didn’t have the patience to grind to be better for several wipes. I still adored the game, but it was a love hate. I wanted to be good at it so bad but I couldn’t get over that hump. I finally sat down one wipe and just told myself to play and finally got better. Racked up 1000hrs since 2021. So glad I did that because no game gives me the same feeling as tarkov. The new additions of this wipe only solidify that live for this game more. I’m excited to see what BSG does next.
How have the queue times been?
Absolute love for this update. The thing that pisses me off in Tarkov is the fact that you can empty your mag onto someone, and the faker doesn't die
Exactly, its a joke, idk if its desync or just unrealistic armor or something. If you get shot on thorax multiple times u should at least drop down..
I love newbie areas in games there’s a charm to it, I remember playing the trial version of battlefield 2 on the smaller map. Was actually more fun than when I bought the full game
Is there a trick to know where to extract?
Once you get to 15 and get the flea it becomes more manageable but still, waiting 5+ minutes for a game where you can potentially die within the first 5 minutes is overboard
fun fact, you can bring in people over lvl 20 so long as the party lead is under lvl 20 into ground zero
40 minute combined wait timer for one match of reserve as scav
Ground Zero is an illusion of space, it's actually quite a tight map so you're going to run into people way more often than you think, and being a noob/starter map, as a solo scav / PMC expect trigger happy scaredy scav players who shoot other scavs and pistol/smg PMC solos/duos (cause of the quests).
As well as the occasional lvl ~10-15 group camping "snipey" spots on 1st/2nd building floors.
thats good to hear, last thing i want them to implement is no wipe so i can finally start enjoying missions without them killing my progress at 1/3. After second wipe i gave up and decided to wait for full version, but MAYBE ill give it another try now...
Can someone explain to me like what you even do in Tarkov? I've seen it from time to time over the years but I've never understood what's happening. Do you just load into little maps with other people, try to gather loot, potentially fight, then leave? I just never understood what you even do in tarkov that's so fun
think about a battle royal but you keep the gear you get from previous raids, so you go map to map doing quests and looting stuff while also fighting both players and npcs.
the "fun" part is that when you die you lose everything you had on you and that risk reward makes fights very tense.
@@thisnameistemporary6434Interesting, so I hear there's periodic "wipes" so would it be similar to Rust then in that way? You can do very well and get the best gear but after the wipe you have to restart? Or are there no wipes
@@stoched wipe was 1 week ago and it wipes every 6 Months. They do plan to stop wiping at some point but thats unclear.
Last time I played tarkov was 2021 and I also noticed that scav runs also come with better weapons
Awesome and very informative!
I will say man that knowledge is power and that a good player was allllwayss able to level even if they came in late. It is not easy but being knowledgeable in pathing, loot, BIS per trader level… those are all extremely powerful tools.
This wipe is definitely going to be the biggest change and that mainly comes from recoil.
As someone who hit kappa the last 2 wipes i can only wish you a lot of fun with this game now that its in a more fun state than before with the recent patches. It’s obviously a very frustrating game at times but I think Tarkov can be very fun if you put some time into it.
I have loved tarkov and still do, this wipe is way better than the last 5 in my personal opinion(although i have only played the last 3) and i also LOVE the new recoil BUT i think that it should be a little bit harder to control across the board(just barely) so its still a hard game because i have been finding it a little too easy this wipe, either way its a huge improvement and i hope that anyone who hasnt tried it or gave up on it tries it again because it is amazing. good luck out there gamers
you have quite a bit of experience so maybe u hvaent died as much but the game is definetly harder now in a different aspect. You can't run around willie nillie anymore because you will get punished for mis positioning quite heavily. Sure you can tap someone's head a lot easier, but that's also easier said than done in the middle of a gunfight. I think ur right tho, only some guns need very very very tiny tweaks but overall its really good.
@ajuslucky5432 yeah no for sure, I can see how it will affect the people who liked pushing and it's easier to be punished, BUT I like to push quite a bit but only when I know I have the upper hand and I've learned that over time. Since now you CANT run around willie nillie it makes the game much more tactical and makes you think on your toes more than any other game in my opinion and I think that is what the developers were going for so they shouldn't make adjustments purely based on what a "sweaty" player wants the game to be. This all sounds kind of hostile and I don't mean for it to be like that LMAO
I've played early wipe several different times and always bounce off after a couple days. This wipe has been the most invested I've ever been in a single wipe.
All this doesn't change how other players play and will pass more time in loading screens than the game itself
I'm a casual player, have had Tarkov for 1.5 years but haven't played it much after a while. I tried it now, went into Ground Zero, and I can't do shit on that map. I never survived in 10 raids... I can't play this game anymore. I like the maps, but there's too much details for me to win a fight. I only play Arena.
What about other maps, still a shift between 15 + and 15-? And is the new recoil system realistic?
Nikita making Tarkov more fun was not on my 2023 Tarkov Bingo card ngl
Especially when he for the longest time has had the mindset of Tarkov not being designed to be fun
Is the queueing with other below-level-15's on every map or just that new one?
just the new one is only for lvl 20 and below players.
They need to add a gps or something that will guide you to extracts. I get lost all the time. I don’t have the time to learn all the extracts and it really sucks getting loot and losing it because you don’t know where you are
I highly recommend hell let loose! Not enough streamers cover such an amazing game. The big reason being traditional streaming doesn't work for it but if you clip or fast forward your gameplay I'm sure anyone could come up with some amazing content and the game itself is hella fun. Really really recommend considering it
What are your settings.. looks clean!
i used to love tarkov. you're right about it basically needing your life in order to be competitive at all
my problems with tarkov now are, i just can't use headphones. with wife and 3 kids and something always needing my attention, i cannot play any game which requires headphones or cannot be paused.
just the way it is now.
I really enjoyed your video and I agree with what you said for us little guys things still hard but at least there is some light in the tunnel now :) keep the good work!
i just came from xbox to pc and i got tarkov before the wipe it was was a nightmare to control recoil but now oh my i love it its way better feels so smooth now defo worth getting now.
well the new armor system is more realistic but imo it gives more desparity because hard plates completely nullify damage meaning that if you shoot someone with shit ammo you cant just brute force your way trough his armor dealing blunt damage as it was the case before so you rely on lucky shots between gaps of armor, and leg meta the great equalizer has also been nerfed to shit
How is leg meta nerfed? all of the high flesh buckshot and 9x18 rounds are still easily bought. The only thing we lost really is 9x19 RIP.
@@nqgames2954wasnt the nerf that you dont make full damege if legs are blacked out
(Still think it got some buff becose now smg and etc dont jump to chest or head)
@@nikolaideianov5092 It used to be legs spread the full damage when blacked out but idk if that changed this patch, don't see anything in the patch notes about it.
@@nqgames2954 i may be confusing it with ammo that pens the soft and hard armor of vests does 20%damege (dont remember and wont remember im drunk and selebrating new year)
@@nqgames2954 also happy new year
Honestly, greatest wipe of tarkov since I've started playing (about 5 wipes now), and by a long shot. Genuinely the most fun I've had ever in this game.
New mechanics, guns, map, map rework, cool addition, SNOW?!!, such nice recoil, the most balanced it's been (ammo wise), and all that without any (at least noticeable) new bugs?
Just such a breath of fresh air for a game that's been getting more stale and grindy in the past few wipes. Now I genuinely have fun in this game.
I was honestly going to skip this wipe, maybe play for a week or so if any, but now I think I'm going to play it for at least most of the wipe!
Awesome vid; It made me go back to Tarkov
Any one know what it's like to play this game Australian ping wise?
I really wanted to like this but I played a couple days a year an ago and I lost my stuff every time because I don’t know how or where to extract. I was killed three times by someone and then like 12 deaths to not getting out…
damm im actually gonna re install it, thankyou for this video
its deff getting better but there are still so much improvements to be made, like a hidden elo maybe. Make sure that sol queuers dont end up in raids with fully chadded squads.
Nut yeah the recoil and armor changes makes hell of a difference, but once you leave ground zero and are behind the curve its back to good old getting stomped.
The recoil was so bad before. I remember with a semi auto ak and a red dot you couldn't hit shit because the sights where hoping around like you didn't have a stock. Such a huge improvement
