- I was looking for a new background track but couldn't find one in time for this video so good ol Kevin Macleod strikes again. Lighting is still a little scuffed because these lights are very tan for some reason so there is a few green screen errors. I'll keep messing with it to try and fix it. Anyways, I hope you enjoyed and thanks for watching.

Pretty sure Nikita will be weirded out hearing that for the first time people dont say recoil is shit.
I was about to comment something like this, I heard rumors that Nikita was expecting people to be extremely upset over the new recoil. I genuinely can't understand why.
Jokes on you there are people who complain about new recoil
@@user-bv2fy9uv1revery other person is complaining and we do not care
very small minority tho luckily @@user-bv2fy9uv1r
@@Mousyy In an update video, Nikita said smth like "Yes there will be changes to recoil just so you can sh*t on us about the new recoil again"
With the new recoil, you know whats going to make a comeback?
Aesthetic gun users!
finally people can appreciate my guns after they kill me
@@flviir real
busting out my old fde tx-15 aesthetic loadout
@@flviir nope, stats are all that matters. your shits getting vendored immediately
the fact I can run unmodded guns got me to redownload the game
Just feels like with this trajectory, we might hear our PMC say "Finally, i can Escape From Tarkov" in the next 2-3 wipes.
man what is that profile of yours
@@ThePimpinatorFr wtf I’d be ashamed to comment if that was my pfp
Nah, saying 'it's tarkoving time' and then he tarkovs
Waspsalad pfp spotted (it's pog)
Hardest line ever written
6:23 this man casually showing us that he got a red rebel in a box is crazyyy
It was pretty funny we were talking about him getting it once he found ZB key and then he just got it so we started laughing
I was in the comments and literally said to myself:
"Nobody gonna talk about how our guy just pulled a RR out of a crate?"
yeah like my first thought was are we gonna talk about the red rebel he casually found in ZB
Another bonus you forgot to mention is the ability to check the profile of players that killed you, it's made it so much easier to catch blatant cheaters since you can check their stats and see they have 100 hours on their profile with a 75 K/D and and 2 deaths out of 60 raids this wipe ( no shit I've already got 4 cheaters this way on woods)
130 raids 3 cheaters. In previous wipes and other games this would be a major win.
These deaths have hurt bad though.
yes but it also shows you when you get clapped by a complete noob aswell lol
The only thing I have noticed is the average survival rate time is WAY off. Mine says 52 minutes which is not even close lol
@@SoundConstraints that timer has never worked properly because it can't count passed 59:59. at the 1 hour mark it resets to 0 minutes again
except thats a terrible metric especially this early. sheef had a 197 k/d and 97% survival for the first 3 days.
Snow is actually amazing on woods. I get lost looking at the swaying trees and snow cover, truly beatiful. BSG should be proud.
The snow is garbage
Snow is brilliant. Best thing ever.
Agreed the snow is so well done, I hope it stays for the whole winter season
@@kyleg5141 I hope we never go more than 60 days without it happening for at least 1 days.
Snow in other maps is a good addition, but in Woods it's absolutely beatiful and astonishing, i started to like woods just because the snow
BSG: releases new wipe with winter weather and scenery
Tarbank vest: +0.01 to usability
This is my first wipe in about 2 years and (while I’m getting absolutely clapped most raids) I’m having a great time. I’m really loving the recoil change because now I feel like my shots are going where I’m aiming. The snow did cost me introduction cause I couldn’t see the note under it and in the extra time it took me to find it, two guys had ran up and killed me. Overall though, great wipe.
Same. Taking a break through the worst phases of the game was a godsend, now it's just fun.
the panic when i couldn't find the note man 🤣
Same here, i stopped playing tarkov few years back as at the beginning of every wipe it was painful to shoot, all the hours you spending on grinding and build at least something decent so you can get a head/eyes within 5 minutes in the raid …not speaking of actually killing someone.. so i decided to download a game few days ago and been playing with pleasure and actually having fun.
Game is giving vibe of something more casual but for some reason i actually love the way it is now.
I had the EXACT same problem on woods. Took time to find a video to see exactly where the note is, by the time I saw, I stood up from my bush and got run up on by 2 players immediately afterwards. Would've been fine if I didn't need to look up the video haha.
We really glossing over the fact that this mans found a red rebel in zb green box?
had to pause and replay lol, crazy
it be like that sometimes, fast mt in a green box sometimes, pso eyecup other times
Was about to comment on that. Bro hit the jackpot mid video and didn't say anything.
they were fucking freaking out in vc lmao
found mine on a pmc body on ground zero
It’s so refreshing to see new life in Tarkov
you will never get me to come back all u closet cheaters ruined it ill never come back have fun pretending u all dont hack to each other and getting ass reamed by that dude who pays for 300 dollar hacks
The best part of this wipe, at least for me is the new revised shoreline. The new elevations and cliffs are a godsend, no longer will you break your legs leaving the radio tower moving towards the shore. No longer are you just begging that your jump is high enough to scale the rocks leading to resort. That new farm type area is amazing for dropping barter items, tools like nippers, awl's, everything you'll need can be found there. Resort is still one of the most fun and engaging PVP spots in the entire game and audio aside, they did an amazing job this wipe. I for one and extremely excited to see where we are headed. Amazing takes as always and gentlemen, good luck in your raids!
I think we must wait 3-4 months to see if this is really the best wipe because Tarkov has always this cycle when wipes and big patch are released:
- for the first days and weeks, we hear "This is the best wipe, great content, novelties...."
- After some weeks "There are issues with this update, there are issues still here, there are cheaters...."
- After 2 months "Still cheaters, where the hell is going BSG, this is a dead game..."
and? what the whiney children who play with game think never mattered.
the game was never dying and cheaters have never been a substantial problem also bsg is doing the best method for removing cheaters, mass bans, which ignorant dipshits still whine about because they are ignorant dipshits.
It’s the most beginner friendly wipe released
@@Glxrp Nope. New map is factory on crack. If I were new player I would stop playing. Besides tarkov is past 'beginner' phase, because majority of playerbase has hundreds or thousands hours and new players are just annoyances.
@@meskisable damn who let the monkeys use the computer
@@meskisablenope. My friend got from beginner to chad in one wipe + u dont play with high level players on the new map
As a new player, I went into my first raid with just a pistol and the basics without even knowing they used to be terrible. Managed to kill 2 bots before getting lost and going MIA because of the timer. 10/10 would lose all my loot again.
My experience of ground zero, which was only day 1 of the wipe, actuallt had way more pvp than any other map that I have play this wipe. The combo of high player count ,small map and close spawns means you gotta win a 1v1 in first 10 seconds of spawning to survive
Two weeks later it's much more comfy now. I actually like this map a lot and I'll be sad when I won't be able to access it anymore past lv20.
I recommend night raids for questing, not a lot of players so the streets become filled with scavs pretty quick. Also you don't even need a flashlight or NVG, it's bright enough to navigate without those tools.
I really hope winter is here to stay AND gets tweaked until the end of february atleast.
I hope its not just a new years event
Woods with snow is tough though, since you can't blend in as easily.
Recoil's why I used DMRs a lot, in the past. Now, I've been leaning on early SMGs and whatever I find-variety's fun.
Great video. I also love the estimate of his viewer demographics in the beginning:"Gentlemen! ... And like two Ladies."
I am so happy with this wipe, I think community should be more vocal about how good it is to make sure BSG keeps moving in this direction. It is not obvious where to move though, recoil just feels right, I am afraid they will ruin it. Snow is awesome! Loved it
The vaulting is by far my favorite addition. It makes fights so much more dynamic.
I bought the game two summers ago and haven't really played it. The recoil, armor, and ammo changes make the game fairer to less-kitted individuals, which is one of my main apprehensions. I think I'll try it out. New year, New Game.
I highly recommend it, game feels incredible now, all guns are usable and effective pretty much and the armor changes make armor still incredibly good but they dont turn you into an unkillable tank like it used to
Tbf Tarkov is an inherently unfair game, thats unavoidable.
But imo what makes Tarkov great is when its skill based, when you can get good enough to overcome the challenges and even unfair situations. Its not perfect, but recoil helps a lot.
So happy they finally added snow to EFT. They had it back in contract wars, it looks essentially the same as the current snow, so I hope they improve on it further but its a good start.
It's nice to see you enjoying tarkov again dude. Hopefully they keep up the good work and keep you feeling good about the game.
I went from struggling to fight one on one fights to wiping 4 man squads in a single wipe. This recoil is so nice I’m actually able to shoot straight for once lol
the ammo change makes sense. Were fighting in a world for Supplies and things are scarce. Including ammo and Armor!
The recoil and armor changes have already made this my favorite wipe since I first played this game back in 2020.
The recoil allows us to explore other builds and still be viable instead of having to build meta to win fights. I like the change a lot.
yea guess what suddenly all those useless guns are actualy pretty good. And ergo build is a thing for more than like 4 weapon builds game is wide open right now even pictols with ap ammo are super nice
Dude I’m so glad someone finally said it! The snow is frickin incredible and it’s changed the game so much for me during the new wipe. Love your content, please don’t stop posting cause I listen to your videos on my long drives
They should change the Ground Zero after lvl 20 lock, I think separating below and over lvl20 lobbies so you can still play it after lvl20 but don't ruin for the starters (i think this bc i like that map and it's fun)
Honestly the snow, while awesome, has made me 100% lost on woods.... Again
Great Job BSG. Best wipe ever. Great video. Entertaining as always.
The biggest change is that plate armor doesn't allow ANY damage through, which makes things like the PRESS armor excellent. I almost expect people to put Lvl 4 plates into it, if there's another armor with the same shape of plates. Probably Killa armor.
I think that the modular armor helps Ceramic armors the most. Previously having the entire armor be one health resource and be penned based on that was a huge crippling thing that made using ceramic armors basically impossible. But now that you can swap the plates this isn't as big of a deal combined with the fact that plates stop all the blunt damage if they stop the round means that repairing ceramic plates will be more viable as well. Ceramic can finally be that cheap throwaway alternative for more protection.
Good point. Also front and back plates are seperate now.
@@termitreter6545 This is a bigger deal than people realize. you can swap a back plate with a front plate after a firefight by taking your armor off and literally just swapping the plates. Use that back plate as an extra front plate. Helps cuz you get a fresh plate for next firefight and can potentially save you since damaged armor is less likely to stop penetration.
exited to see tarkov like this, might even go back to it. happy new year to you leviticus!
Best wipe ever. I was addicted to Tarkov before but now I also love it. Playing it actually gives me satisfaction. 10/10
Thanks man. Didn't think when I woke up this morning that I'd want to play more but I'm going to check it out. Good luck in your raids
I hope snow stays as a thing outside of the IRL month of December/January
It’s crazy to think the game didn’t even have working audio just a year ago
This wipe feels so good so far, the vaulting and new recoil system’s feel good. As a solo player going in and feeling like I could actually out shoot a twosome with skill instead of hope and prayers is very satisfying.
It feels just a bit more like 2020 Tarkov combat or so, I actually fought so many duos and trios solo back then. It was difficult for sure, but so rewarding and skill based when you won.
I hope Tarkov is going back into that direction, and the recoil seems like a good step.
As a veteran player myself, I've never been a pistol fan, found a glock suppressor early on and literally haven't stopped running with it. They feel so good. Stellar update from BSG.
streets at night with snow is just soooo beautiful
I love that the good ammo I may need is found mostly in raid. It gives you a better way to access the ammo you need.
You got me to try Tarkov again.
And then I instantly remembered why I don't play Tarkov, as I died in less than half the time it took me to load the game, load the menu, load the map, sit in matchmaking, and load the map again.
those saiga shots REALLY made it seem like a real 9mm weapon instead of any other big caliber rifle
its a small round fired from a big long barrel gun, it shouldnt have that much recoil
guns feel so much more intuitive now, and as people mentioned they really seemed to have made them be supported on our shoulder instead of center mass
What makes a “caliber” “big”
@@HunterAnsorge-ok9jk Literally the size
@@HunterAnsorge-ok9jk lol
@@istvanbarath6333 yeah but what makes the “size” “big”?? Please answer or shut up if you don’t have one.
@@HunterAnsorge-ok9jk Literally what are you even getting butthurt over? A 7.62x51 Real friggin NATO is a big round in comparison to a 9mm that's smaller than your pinky finger.
Agree on all fronts! This wipe is absolutely sick. I started two weeks late, which is usually an absolute death-sentence, but this wipe I'm actually having really fun raids! It's a-m-a-z-i-n-g being able to use trader 1 / refurbished scav guns and actually feel like you can aim and have a chance to kill things without relying mostly on luck. I've been using the heck out of the PP-19, Saiga 9, and an STM that I picked up off a player-- lots of rolling around with the civilian bolty and an SMG / PCC. Headshotting people with 9mm (either with the full auto PP / Kedr spray, or semi-auto tapping with the PCCs) has been so satisfying.
I also feel like a lot of regular people are playing this wipe-- despite my late start I'm running into mostly lower-level people (almost all under lvl 20, and lots of 5-15) where in previous wipes I felt like being more than a few days late left you up against people rocking stronk kits immediately. There have been so many more good raids where I at least survive and get quests done vs previous wipes where I felt like I was just being mowed down by meta ammo constantly within a week.
Also: special shout out for the snow. I LOVE THE SNOW! The new aesthetic / ambiance is amazing, and I love the way it slightly changes the gameplay as well. It's really cool being able to see further on Woods, for example, due to the thinner vegetation. I'm absolutely loving the snow and hope that the rest of the seasons make it into the game soon!
I totally agree and HAPPY NEW YEAR!
I haven’t played Tarkov in a few wipes but checked it out for the first time and I’m loving it!
I feel what you’re saying about the new recoil system. IRL I know how to shoot guns and am a good shot and it’s been cool for me to be able to ADS with iron sights and actually hit what I’m shooting at.
We have known what good gunplay looks like for well over a decade. Why they decided to take control over recoil away from the player in the outset is beyond me. I'm glad they finally came to their senses.
That icepick out of a box is my dream every wipe
Through and through positive wipe🤯🤯🤯
Very glad that this step was taken by BSG. The original reason I actually started using SPT instead of just playing Tarkov was so I could try to learn the game's maps and mechanics without feeling pressured so Ground Zero's a significant step in the right direction. I don't personally agree with people saying the game's identity is built on it being unfun and being difficult to understand, though I understand their sentiments of not wanting to pander to the wider shooter audience of braindead 12 year olds.
Hopefully SPT doesn't take too long to update this wipe, I like having a way to play Tarkov if I'm frustrated with online lol.
@@crss6846it’s prob gonna take like 2 months for them to update
I love the snow, it just gives a better aesthetic to the game and looks awesome, I also am going to be cosplaying Simo Hayha with a mosin now.
I hadn’t touched this game in about a year and half and this wipe got me almost 200 hrs in already. Love the changes
This feels like the first wipe where I can say I really enjoy Tarkov. It's my 3rd consecutive wipe, so it could also be playtime beginning to add up, but I feel that with the gunplay changes pvp actually feels intuitive.
This wipe is great came back after stopping in 0.12.3 and Oh boy I love this wipe. Thanks Nikita❤
Dude the starter map is extremely PVP oriented. It's super choke pointy like old customs.
i been trying to convince my firends to play for years and this wipe finally made them all start playing so thats awsome
First time I have played Tarkov in over a year. Definitely enjoying it.
Another good thing about the snow is that bsg made bushes less dence, so now you cant hide in them as effectively
Dude, its so good!
Lets just hope next wipe is even better
I literally stayed up to 7 AM playing this. AMAZING WIPE. Its crazy how much something as little as vaulting changed the feel as the game. and most of the changed they made are really good.
"and two ladies" wow got me feelin represented there :P
I absolutely LOVE the recoil fix, it literally made me come back to EFT and actually enjoy being in gunfights!
Before this recoil fix, I always felt like my guns were fighting me, now they behave how they suppose to.
They can still fix the ridiculous ADS sound that can be heard from 15 meters tho. No gun ever makes an audible noise like that, if you shake a drum or box magazine it will make some noise but that's it really.
I definitely agree. Recoil is better than ever, and the fact that good ammo isn’t readily available makes armor so much more valuable and actually useful, instead of as heavy decoration
Saiga Nine on Interchange is a beast when sneaking around!
I genuinely didn't know they were adding snow so when I discovered it for the first time this wipe it was magical
Loving every miNUTE OF IT JERRY
Pistols are actually quite good now, majority of my good raids started with me having nothing but a pistol and an extra mag.
This is a god damn love letter. Bravo
'fired a few rounds at the guy' proceeds to dump thee entire magazine
Honestly this might just get me back into the game again.
Pistols r one of my favorite changes with the recoil it’s like our character a trained pmc actually knows how a pistol works
This video was a perfectly servicable review of the latest Tarkov patch.
Wow you finding the red rebel in that crate is wild. Im jealous
I was just waiting for Levi to make this video, didnt dissapoint
I like the armor changes, it makes actual squad movement tactics more viable. If you can get to someones side theyre much less likely to tank your mag and whip around with a head,eyes shot
bsg gracing us with the glory of snow
Tarkov dude finally remembered he is a PMC with military training, not a kid who found a gun
Absolutely GIGACHAD wipe. Having so much fun so far.
addressing the first thing, I see ground zero as a great "you're starting middle of the wipe" area, which is good for people that actually have a life outside of this damn game
The less damage overall thing to armor comes from the new "HARD" Plates. Its unknown if its intended this way but if "HARD" Plate armor is hit with Low Pen Ammo for example Class 4 with M855, the Plate takes almost no damage and there is ZERO blunt damage transferd into the body.
that is actually very realistic! czcams.com/video/nnm8IsU5M0c/video.html
BSG did such a good job this wipe. I’ve been off the game for about a year and a half now after I got kappa. Now it’s got me hooked again.
this wipe is really amazing
He’s back with another banger opinion
This is the best wipe since 2020 when the game blew up on twitch. I've been having a hard time so far but I love all the changes. My first raid with the snow I didn't even know it had been added yet so that came as a pleasant surprise.
You're dead on about the pistol thing. I cannot being to describe how I felt when I dropped a scav at 75 meters with a Grach on Ground Zero
Yeah this wipe is fire and your right about ammo being found on the ground more often i found a few boxes of pp and bp from looking in the ammo spots!
100% agree with you totally in all! The game is great! Me and my friend were on woods when the snowfall happened and it was just amazing! We started on standard map and few minutes in, the snow started falling and gradually arose over the map, then the blizzard came in and we could barely hear anything it was awesome!!
The recoil changes have been an absolute game changer for me, it brought me back to the game. When I used to play a few year ago I would avoid every fight because I knew I can't control my weapon, now I'm more confident and willingly engage in PvP.
This is the first wipe i hit 6 rep with fence, helped me learn the map and was so fun, thanks to new map and shoreline expansion its so easy.
this wipe is a work of art, I was not optimistic about playing this game, but it is really fun. the new map is a thing this game needed a lot, a place for low levels or new players to finally peacefully learn mechanics of tarkov. Gun fights are finally rewarding and it does not feel like an 11 year old is operating the gun. BSG did a very good job with this update :)
In my experience the new map is far from peaceful, but that's why it's my favorite map. they should definitely make the same map for higher level players too so you are not blocked from playing the map once you hit the lvl20.
I screamed like a little kid and jumped in game when it started to snow.
cant wait to enjoy it on SPT in couple months.
Well you know what to do now Decent Voiceover Guy. Were gonna need ANOTHER updated gun tier list!
This wipe finally gave me a feel of direction for the game, a trajectory without all the complaints and bs. Finally feels like tarkov is going somewhere again.
great value general sam
men see snow ,men happy
Gentlemen and like two ladies haha. Awesome video!
The scary part of the snow is just how visible you are in it. Like without it you could blend into the enviroment and don't get me started on how dark the maps can get in broad daylight whenever something dips into the cloud shadows. But now? You will be spotted, everyone sticks out like a sore thumb, there is no dark dirt for you to blend into, you will be a moving shade upon a white blanket.
So far, a SSh-68 saved me from an instakill for 3 times by now, like for once helmets actually do their jobs.
The shoulder swap came in clutch too. Was on a customs raid and someone was lying prone behind the wall next to snuper checkpoint (near the boat exfil), and I managed to off him by switching shoulders and peeking over.
