Escape from Tarkov is a massive multiplayer online combat simulator with RPG elements developed by Russian Saint-Petersburg-based game developer, Battlestate Games. Set in the fictional Norvinsk region located on the frontier between Russia and Europe, the metropolis of Tarkov was plunged into anarchy thanks to the Contract Wars. What was once a bustling city, is now roamed by rivalling scavenger gangs and former private military forces and black ops units. Between them all, there's you, your stash, and the escape back to the free world from the depths of Tarkov.

Leg armor when?
Much of a meme as this is, they've mentioned they'll never add leg armour.
People on reddit are going full autism with the new armor update and how fort actually does what it's supposed to.
It does what?
You can magdump a vest now and you got a good chance of surviving, good progress... Now if only they made leg wounds only death by bleeding out we'd be golden.

Found this backpack full of candy on customs. Probably my best raid so far
Hollowpoint leg meta time I guess??
Heard there was a money dupe glitch floatin around, not sure if they fixed it but that could be it.
Not fixed as far as I know, the insurance glitch and subsequent item dupe glitch has worked since it was discovered back in alpha
So everyone just know, some people have infinite money (this is why there's consistently millions of USD on fence, people converting it to rubles) and can just buy the best gear for every single raid

Well... that was certainly "different", heard him walk into my room and just see an orb on the floor, fucking russian apparitions man, some weird stuff
Honestly I don't have much of an issue with fort being essentially juggernaut style armor.
I prefer this game having extreme levels of realism, even if that means magdumping into someone's plate carrier means I won't kill them most of the time.
You also shouldn't die from getting shot in blacked limbs. I think that's absolutely stupid. At most, you should just get more and more injured/lose blood faster and faster.
It would aid well into my next point.
I also wish that this game had a knockout mechanic. Lose too much blood? You fall unconcious.
Buckshot hits you square in the side of your altan? You get knocked the fuck out.
Receive too much pain from bleeding/getting shot? You pass out from it.
It would make it so you're not completely invincible while in top tier armor as it allows for yet another way for you to die.
It's not like getting shot 3 times in the leg with buckshot would instantly kill you, but sure as fucking hell you won't be awake once you get all of it in your leg assuming your character doesn't have a high pain tolerance.
Would be rough on Solo players like myself but this would be great, the community as a whole don't really seem to see an issue with the damage system however so I doubt we'll see any real change/
We need someone big to actually address the main issues. The devs listen to big names in the community at least, so it would be a good vector of communication.

Just started playing again, with the armor update it seems I can't kill any PMCs. People say go for the leg/head, but it's kinda hard to do while they're shooting at you and you can't tank more than 2-3 bullets because you don't have access to the high level gear...
Saiga with slugs is cheap and effective if you have good aim buckshot is good for Close range because you dont have to aim
this game is so much fun, it makes me want to get back into airsoft.
I'm starting to hate the concept of player scavs, doubt anyone else feels this way but to me they're just kamikaze fuckers, no fear, no risk, huge reward. As a factory player it's really annoying, getting a nice sense of achievement fucking everyone up... Then a buncha player scavs spawn in, run around till they die or get attracted to their friends dying and suicide charge you and get that nice face shot off that makes all your effort mean jack shit.
If you extract as a player scav, 20 minute cooldown timer, if you die you have to wait an hour or more
I wonder if they will ever give us a more objective based play style other than just "escape", why not have a competitive component, 5v5, with S&D or capture objectives.
The lore is that USEC was sent in to scrub any incriminating evidence of the TERAGROUP company and BEAR was sent in to find said evidence, so a S&D for USEC and capture&extract for BEAR would be well within the realms of possibility, especially with their cinematic release trailer showing exactly that.
Because TBH, the looting has gotten stale at this point, I'm really only around anymore for the PVP, so having something that's strictly geared PVP would be a blast, still waiting for them to say anything about arena

I 100% agree. The looting aspect gets boring quickly. If you're not good enough to compete with the top you're really put into the dust quickly. Its nice that you can basically afford infinite basic kits of course but being stuck there most of the time is no fun. Would love for a PVP-geared mode or two.
I hope too, that they add objectives. Maybe have random 'supply' drops that appear on the map randomly that you can converge and secure. But they did plan to have an Arena mode, not sure if they still plan on it however.
Weekly faction missions would be fun, supply drops would be interesting as long as they could make it rare and random.
Also, so, this guy doesn't win the award for the most beautifully autistic gun I've collected off someone but
