Does D-2 Ruin Reserve in Tarkov?
(Intro) Reserve was introduced into EFT with patch 0.12. A very momentous occasion for the game; as it was the first time Tarkov began its insane growth period of popularity. From a smaller, more niche experience that was only known for its level of difficulty and obscurity, to something much more known to anyone that enjoys video games. Combine this patch with the first ever Twitch drops even for Tarkov, and you have monumental growth the likes of which we hadn’t seen before. Reserve at the time, was the newest map to be added into the game. And I can only speak for myself, but when it was first added, I found the map to easily be the most challenging map in the game (excluding labs of course). With its obtuse square design, and the lack of any real sense of direction I should be going to reach my extraction, it plays very differently from most other maps in the game. Something like Customs or even Interchange makes sense; you spawn on one side, and need to work your way to the other. Reserve doesn’t really work like that because its extractions are so different. The train and the hermetic door were your only two guaranteed ways of escaping if you didn’t have a red rebel. And for a while, it stayed that way. Until one patch, where BSG decided to add a brand new entire underground bunker area beneath the already existing map. It was kind of mind boggling when people first discovered it. And while that part of the map is insanely cool, and honestly stressful, as time went on, I found that people more often than not just end up underground; ignoring most of the map up top. Of course, early on this isn’t the case; people still need to complete quests and the like. But all that begs a question: does D-2's existence somewhat sour playing Reserve as a whole?

Tarkov’s Armor & Weapon Repair Kits are Useless
(Intro) Armor and weapon repair kits are kind of useless in 2025 EFT. From their first introduction, there were used as a means of repairing your gear without spending an exorbitant number of rubles to fix them up. Depending on a number of variables, the cost would either be cheap and reasonable to outright ridiculous. But, in order to survive in Tarkov, it was a necessary evil. Gear isn’t going to last forever. Even before weapon durability became a thing, we were always repairing our armors to make sure they were as durable as possible before going into a raid. But in April of 2022, BSG added two items to help with that process; the humble armor and weapon repair kits. Items that when found in raid, for the longest time, were essentially invaluable to many different players. Allowing you to repair guns and armors without needing to dip into your wallet to do so. And while for over two years their inclusion was a godsend for many, myself included, things changed when BSG dropped the armor rework. Instead of armor just having a flat durability, now, each protective piece of that armor had its own durability. This system has its pros and cons when compared to the previous system, but one thing is for certain: armor and weapons are cheap enough to repair with money, making the kits useless.

Every Tarkov Raid Suffers From This Problem
(Intro) The worst part of any Tarkov raid is the beginning. Those first thirty-seconds are the tensest, most stressful and have the highest chance of you getting sent back to your stash prematurely. You see the countdown; you don’t know where you are going to spawn, but immediately as soon as your screen fades in from the darkness, you need to quickly assess your circumstance, where you are and figure out where the closest other players will most likely be. It’s tough because while there is a dozen or so spawns across most maps, there are so many variables that determine whether or not someone will be close to your left, your right, in front or behind you. Each map has its own fair share of spawn problems too; some worse than others, but the sheer number of times I have died within thirty-seconds off a Tarkov spawn is crazy. My shortest PvP raid of all time is eight seconds. Granted, that was a long time ago, before Customs expanded to have stronghold and crack house, but that is an impressive number. If you have had shorter raids than that, let me know. Regardless, every single raid in EFT has this problem. “The Mad Dash”, as I am aptly calling it for this video. It doesn’t matter what map you choose, what time of day, the first thirty-seconds are the scariest.

A Serious Conversation About Cheating in Tarkov
(Intro) Cheating in Tarkov is not a new conversation or concept. It’s around. It happens; a lot. Too much for anyone playing the game. People either like to rant about the problem, or not mention it exists. Sadly, we live in a day and age where most popular games of any size, genre or cost have people who want to not only ruin it for the regular players, but profit from it too. And Tarkov is no exception to that rule. There have been different arcs in EFT’s life when it comes to cheating. And as the game grew in scale, ambition, and popularity, so too did the people trying to ruin the fun for everyone. I’ve personally only ever mentioned cheating in video one time, and it wasn’t formal like this is going to be. It was more personal experience and off-hand remarks. But now, after playing this wipe for about three weeks, strictly speaking only for myself, I have had more blatant instances of cheating in 2025 than I ever have playing the game. Emphasis on blatant; I’m sure there were plenty of times where I died to someone who wasn’t a legitimate player, but didn’t have the knowledge to know sure. But now we have more in-game tools to assist in figuring out if someone’s account looks suspicious or not. Regardless, cheating in games, sucks. Cheating in Tarkov sucks. It’s gotten very rotten over the years, and I am fearful that it will only get worse. Today’s video honestly, doesn’t have a specific goal or message behind it. It’s just to have a conversation about something we all hate and would Thanos snap out of existence if we could. Because cheating in games is awful, but cheating in Tarkov is a different kind of beast.

Tarkov’s Recoil Got Reworked (Again), and It Feels...
(Intro) So Tarkov’s weapon recoil did in fact see some changes with patch 0.16. And while the community as a whole myself included were hesitant on any changes to the system after it had been unanimously praised by players after its first major overhaul, BSG assured us that this round of adjustments were to try and make the recoil visually look more accurate to firing weapons proper. Whether or not they succeeded in that front I’ll leave up to experienced users of firearms, but the main concern from most people was whether or not the recoil was going to feel worse after these changes. And to be brutally honest, I can’t tell if the changes in totality are better or worse. I mean, it’s not terrible by any means, and in some instances it looks more interesting while still being easily controllable, but it definitely feels different at the very least. So, was this second go around at changing Tarkov’s recoil worth it? Let’s talk about it.

Tarkov’s New Secret Extracts aren’t Executed Equally
(Intro) One of the additions to Tarkov that I can’t remember being mentioned by BSG prior to their introduction, was having extra secret extractions around the map that were not readily available to you and your party unless you did something to gain the knowledge of their existence. On paper, this is a great idea; while you are passively playing out your raids, you might just so happen to stumble across whatever information is necessary to gain a bonus extraction much closer to your current location. It’s an incentive to exploring, looting and leaving no stone unturned. But that’s only on paper. What we got in reality is something close to that effect, but with the classic BSG so close yet so far stamp of approval. So, what do these hidden extractions do right? What about them misses the mark? What needs to happen to fix them? And what’s the current state of Tarkov’s extractions as a whole?

I Am Your Beast: Hard for Harding
(Intro) I Am Your Beast is a hyper aggressive score based, first person shooter focusing on mobility, chaining together different ways of taking out your assailants, and completing small missions as fast as possible. Every once in a while, you see a clip of a game somewhere online and you just know instantly you’ll love the game. That’s what happened to me here. It’s a game that requires you to not only learn a particular level and all that it encompasses, but to truly master it for the best score possible. Don’t like how you performed? Replay the level. Learn it. Live it. Love it. This game tickles a part of your brain that not many games these days do. That desire and hyper fixation on trying to play a particular level perfectly so you can feel your neurons activate as you see your score get totaled up and you receive that glorious S ranking. This game in layman’s terms is sick. And I can’t tell a lie, for lack of a better term, Harding goes hard.

Tarkov Needs an "Operation Health" to Survive
(Intro) The general consensus around patch 0.16 is that the additions and changes, combined with the winter event and bringing back the snow alongside tons of snow camo for gear has been awesome. But that’s only speaking for the contents of the patch. The actual wipe and how the experience has been, is something else entirely. From my perspective, how the performance of the game has been, alongside any crashes, glitches, bugs, network problems; I don’t think the game has run this poorly since patch 0.12 and the addition of Reserve into the game. It’s just a complete sloppy, choppy, framey mess that just gets worse the longer you play it. Granted, the game hasn’t gone down once so far which is great, but the general performance is been awful. Maps that were totally fine previously, have issues with even just a red dot on your gun. And I haven’t even tried Streets because I’m worried my PC might explode if I do. I’m aware BSG right before the wipe happened said their main priority for 2025 is quality of life changes and optimizations, but I cannot stress how much the latter half of that sentence needs to occur. Tarkov needs an operation health series of patches to smooth things out. And while it’s honestly needed this for many years, this might be the worst it’s ever actually gotten.

Tarkov’s Hideout Changes Might’ve Ruined It, Unless…
(Intro) So, alongside the huge changes to Tarkov’s flea market, there was another line immediately after that also gave me whiplash upon reading it. Something I have feared for honestly years. As integral as the flea market has been since it was introduced, it doesn’t hold a candle to how vital using the hideout has become in our day-to-day Tarkov operations. These two-game mechanics go hand in hand. Need something for your hideout? Check out how much it costs on the flea. To me, the hideout is synonymous with buying the last couple items for a module upgrade because you’re either too lazy to look for it, or because the item basically doesn’t spawn. However, those days are going to be gone sadly. Because now, your hideout items need to be found in raid in order to count towards a module upgrade.

2024 – A Year in Review
(Intro) Hello everyone. Hope you’re doing well. Today, we’ll just be going over 2024 and all that’s happened here on the channel. And there’s been a lot that has happened. Right out of the gate, 2024 was a very successful year for the channel. It’s grown quite a lot and I am so excited and happy that things are going well. So many new people have checked out the channel, which if you are from this year, glad to have you on board. Hope you are enjoying the videos. But in general, I’ve done this year in review for the past few years, so I figured it wouldn’t hurt to sit down and just have a good chat with you about what’s happened and what to look forward to in 2025. This is very much going to be a more relaxed video; we’ll go over some fun statistics of the channel, some of the highs and lows that happened throughout and some potential goals for the next year. The background footage is just some raids from the recent Tarkov wipe that happened last week, plus maybe some other games. I’m not too sure. But let’s get into how this year has been and all that’s gone on.

Tarkov’s Flea Market has Changed Forever
(Intro) One of the most impactful changes to the flea market has come unexpectedly in the newest wipe, patch 0.16. It’s something BSG mentioned in passing during their October livestream but we didn’t have any context or clues as to how things were going to change. And now with the patch notes out and wipe dropped the day after Christmas, we know what they meant. This change alongside another one which we will talk about in a separate video, have very long lasting implications should these changes stand right now and stay for the duration of this and future wipe cycles. So let’s talk about the single biggest change that every play of every skill level will feel and have to adjust to.

Arena’s Player Fights Don’t Translate to Tarkov Very Well
(Intro) The skills and experience you gain when fighting other players in Arena doesn’t really translate over to Tarkov that well. Now that Arena has been out for some time with the revamped 2.0 version, that everyone is enjoying much more; after playing it and even the previous version for quite some time, you’d expect all the fighting you do to have a potentially more positive impact on your skills as a Tarkov player, but sadly that doesn’t feel like the case. Arena is such a condensed experience, that is strictly fighting other players. And while it sounds like that should make you better at fighting other players in the main game, Arena doesn’t take into consideration many of the other outside elements that are out of your control. You’re not always going to bump into another player at this exact spot. Every raid, people go into these maps for different reasons and goals, so how people navigate and make decisions is going to change every time you load in. So, yes, your shooting and aim might get better in Arena, but it seldom does little to improve your engagements in the main game, when it matters the most.
