3 PvP Places in Tarkov I want to Improve On.
If you had to pick a location in Tarkov that you wish you were better at fighting in, where would it be? For me, there are many locations where I personally struggle with getting good pvp engagements that end in me being victorious. With how complex the game is already, when you stack certain highly contested PVP zones on top of later game Tarkov and people looking for fights, and having the gear to deal with those threats, it can become really chaotic when you engage in those fights. PVP in Tarkov as a whole can be really tricky and challenging to become even remotely decent at. I still suck, but every once in a while, I have my moments where I make every right decision and/or hit all my shots. They are few and far enough between that it’s kind of like a unicorn sighting, you know? But besides just improving at raw PVP, there are certain spots all across Tarkov that I would love to invest some time at improving upon. Three immediately come to my mind when I asked myself this question, so I figured I share them and see if anyone feels the same way, or has other spots they want to get better at.

Tarkov 1.0 - My Hopes for the Future
The more we hear about what’s on the horizon for Tarkov, the more it gets my mind racing at looking towards the future; what lies ahead for not only the players but BSG as well. This game has been in development for so long, it’s crazy to look back and see how far everything has come. Multiple times throughout the games life I expressed my own personal concerns as to the overall direction and ambition of Nikita’s vision. I don’t want to hate on it; in fact, I kind of envy it. He has such an incredible eye for what he wants his game to be, and if he can see it all the way to the end, I have nothing but the absolute highest respect for him. However, that doesn’t mean I don’t have a lot of personal concerns for actually having this vision and everything he wants come to fruition. As sad as it makes me say, the longer I play this game, the more of its holes and glaring red flags I notice as well. Granted, that comes with the territory of any game or hobby you enjoy. I don’t want to blindly support what they do and be under the impression that everything will just work out in the end, nor do I want to be a doomer and say it will all fail before it gets released. I’m always trying to be somewhere in between; torn at what can go right, bringing us one step closer to that final goal, and what can’t go oh so horribly wrong. I think this mentality has begun to kind of normalize across veterans of the game. People who have years under their belt, and who have really seen this game grow and evolve over time. Overall, I’m genuinely curious where every lands about not only where we stand currently with Tarkov, but how they feel about everything we’ve seen for the future too. In regards to the immediate future, we have a pretty good idea as to what’s coming this year.

Bad Habits in Tarkov
Tarkov is already a difficult game in of itself. With so many different mechanics that revolve around the game, it makes sense that from time to time, we might slip up and make a mistake. Okay, a lot of mistakes if you’re me. I have a lot of bad habits in Tarkov; I suppose it’s a by-product of playing so many different games over the years, especially other shooters. It can be something as simple as not hitting an easy shot, but most of the time, again, like Tarkov, the habits are a little more nuanced. And get me killed more often as a result. I wanted to talk about some of those habits and just basically ramble a little bit about how stupid they are and how often they get me head eyes’d sometimes. Because at the end of the day, Tarkov is a hard game; whether you’ve played for just a few days, or even a few years. We all get our assess kick in Tarkov from time to time; so, it’s good to reflect on those mistakes and habits to try and remedy them for the future.

What Happened to Covert Movement?
Tarkov’s combat systems are engaging and complex enough that there is a plethora of ways to interact with them. This goes for both fighting AI enemies, as well as other players who pose more of a threat in general. You can run in head first, and just shoot whatever you see. If it moves, you kill it. A very powerful and viable way to play. You can try engage with range, or from different defensive positions; the list is sizeable. But one way to play Tarkov that has changed over the years, is playing sneaky. Sneaky Tarkov can be extremely gratifying when executed correctly. There are many different angles to it; being in the right place at the right time, having an angle or an opportunity that you can recognize quickly and capitalize on, and the ability to not freak out if there are a lot of footsteps around you making all kinds of noise and you feel overwhelmed. Playing sneaky, at least for me personally, always gets my heart racing more than just running around. Because that buildup of anticipation; knowing that depending on how you handle it, you may kill a juiced-out player, or mess it up and lose your opportunity at some free loot.

Night Vision is better than ever in Tarkov
Night raids are something honestly kind of special in Tarkov. There aren’t a lot of first-person shooters out there, that focus mainly on gameplay and shooting guns, and can simultaneously be a horror game at the same time. It’s funny, because a ton of people I know, myself included call Tarkov an unintentional horror game. Which is true! This game has many different kinds of moments where you will get scared for one reason or another. But most of them, will occur during the nighttime and night raids. Or, at the very least, areas that are way too dark for you to reasonably see anything in front of you, unless you have some form of illumination. I advocated a while ago that we need to engage with night raids more often in Tarkov; it’s a chance to play the game in a completely different style and pace. I love doing night factory raids; going in with nothing but a light armor and pistol and just killing some scavs for some time. I don’t normally wear NVG’s because of Factory’s expansion brought a lot more lights into the map so they’re not as necessary, but they can be still useful if you shoot out all the lights. Of course, the NODs are more useful on the outdoors maps. There are four different types of night vision you can purchase or find in the world.

The Pros and Cons of Late Game Tarkov
Tarkov has a lot of different ebbs and flows that circulate the game’s life cycle in regards to time since the last wipe. Everyone loves the early game; we all are reset back to level 1, with shitty weapons and ammo. Fights feel really organic and important because the early game tasks can be brutal if you aren’t able to get them accomplished in a timely manner. Hideout upgrades are costly both in rubles and materials; and you can only carry so many in your secured container, so losing those hurts just as much as a quest item. We can all agree that early game is fun and the real way BSG wants us to engage with Tarkov. They have put many different measures in to extend that late game feeling, and it has worked in spades. But, like everything, overtime we work our way out the early game and creep into the late game. Even though we are right around the 60-day mark for this wipe, we are seeing levels in the high 30’s for a decent chunk of players. Of course, not everyone is there, but every wipe it feels like we all learn and level up just a little faster, despite their efforts to slow us down. Just player efficiency I suppose. Either way, Late game Tarkov can and still is fun. Well, sometimes. Other times it’s just infuriating for one reason or another. But it’s not always bad all the time. So, I’d like to take today and explain some pros and cons that come with late game Tarkov. Everyone’s milage will vary with what they enjoy about players being a higher level and running around with more expensive and powerful gear. So, if you agree or disagree with any of my bullet points, please sound off in the comments. I’d like to hear the consensus of others who enjoy this game for their own reasons.

Tarkov's Sniper Skill Should Level up Easier
Soft skills are really interesting in Tarkov. They provide a large variety of benefits for your PMC, whether that is more stamina, strength, perception, and alongside physical skills, there are plenty of skills related to mechanics and weapons. Every class of weapons has an associated soft skill that provides benefits when handling the weapon. But out of all the weapons to level up, bolt-action snipers are by far the worst to level up in the game.

Tarkov has a lot of pistols to use: Which is your favorite?
I’ve talked about pistols in the past, and how I wish they were both used more often as a true sidearm back-up role, and that their draw speeds were sped up. And while we did get the latter of those two (it’s situational but still in the game technically), I still find myself wondering what people’s general consensus is with sidearms in Tarkov and moreover, what their favorite pistol is in the game should they decide to use one. Luckily in 2022 we have a decent selection of sidearms in the game, and each feels pretty distinct from one another. Even pistols within the same caliber feel different enough to warrant a try and seeing if you like how they feel in your metaphorical hands. Overall, my main question is this: how often do you use sidearms, and if so, which one(s) do you gravitate towards?

Dear Battlestate Games, (An open letter)
I want to reinforce this before we get into the weeds of this discussion: I don’t want this to feel like I’m dogpiling on issues that the community at large knows about already and how they are severely affecting both the game and community as a whole. I also don’t want to make it sound like I’m raising the alarm and that Tarkov is on death’s door. It's not, and in the long run the game should be fine. I am simply trying to collect issues that we (and in some cases I personally) have currently with the game and present them in a way that is digestible and that people can freely think for themselves and either agree or disagree with the points I bring up. I am not the first person to raise awareness to these issues, nor will I be the last. I simply would like to express my thoughts and feelings towards them and how I have perceived what has been going on recently. This will be coming from someone who loves this game, and wants to see it all the way through to completion. I am in BSG’s corner 100%. However, that doesn’t mean they are immune to constructive criticism delivered in such a way that hopefully what I say comes off as concerned and not entitled or scornful. I am not a game developer; I don’t know how hard it is to make a game. But I can imagine it’s very challenging. I am just a tiny fan who has been trying to be creative with this game for the last almost year and a half now. But I am a fan who, again is concerned for the future or this game.

The SAG AK is Supreme: Here's why.
One of the highlights of this and any patch that comes to Tarkov are the new guns. It’s always fun to see what we get in terms of new ways to shoot our enemies in the face. And while the iconic G36 has made it into the game, I seldom see a reason to use it. Sure, it has gotten much better with both buffs to itself and the ammo it uses, but I find myself much more into another new weapon from this patch: the SAG 545 Ak 545.... yeah, kind of an interesting name.

Killing Floor 2 - I forgot how sick this game is.
We’ve had a lot of zombie games over the years. For a while it seemed like it was one after another. Games like Left 4 Dead and the sequel, Resident Evil, and COD zombies are the main ones that come to my mind when someone mentions zombie games. And while there has been arguably a saturation of that genre in terms of sheer volumes of games, they are still fun. At least to me. Zombie games are the quintessential co-op game in my eyes; they are stressful, require some level of teamwork and can be hype as hell when everything works together. One such game that I played a long time ago, and just got back into recently is Killing Floor 2. I never played the original; I watched a lot of videos on it, but that was way before I had a PC to play games on. But the second game is awesome, and I can’t believe that I forgot how sick this game is.

Tarkov is has some issues it needs to work on...
Even though we just talked recently about the wipe and the patch as a whole feeling pretty good, I guess there have been some lingering issues that have crept up in recent days. Some have been resolved (at least that’s what they say), and others are certainly more of a discussion with nuance. What I’m referring to are mainly the bug with players freezing in place, de-sync, and weapon balance. Those are the main points I wanted to tackle today.
