The Eternal Challenge of the Solo Player in Tarkov
Depending on how many people you decide to run with in Tarkov, your results are going to be significantly different. A 5-man squad, stomping around the maps of Tarkov can be a dominating presence no matter where you go, but that comes with its positive and negative aspects. On the flipside, running Tarkov by yourself can also create interesting problems that need to be solved, while also delivering a comprehensive challenge to those who wish to take it on. No matter how you decide to load into a raid, we have all, at one point, played this game solo. And no matter how good you are at the game, playing by yourself will always be a challenge. An exciting, and interesting one. But a challenge, nonetheless.

The Latest TarkovTV Podcast was Massive, Except...
If you’re a fan of Tarkov and have been waiting to see the new stuff that is up and coming with the game, well then, you’re probably eating really good right now. This Wednesday, we just got a huge TarkovTV podcast with Nikita, going over tons of new features and content for Tarkov, and it’s all coming a lot sooner than at least I anticipated. New guns, mechanics, Streets expansion; there was a lot packed into this one stream. And it was all juicy goodness, with one exception. But we’ll talk about that at the end.

Tarkov is the Most Fun with Bad Guns; Here's Why
Occasionally, I like to take a break from using all the insanely good weapons and do something dumb in Tarkov. Whether that’s a silly challenge or handicap I place on myself, or just using a weapon that isn’t popular by any means. Little things like this are how I stay interested in Tarkov when we are this deep into a single wipe cycle. And one weapon I have been using for the last few days has been honestly super fun to use, even if it’s incredibly challenging sometimes. The MP-18; Tarkov’s break action rifle. Technically, it falls under the shotgun category of weapons (for some reason), but it really should be in its own class. Regardless, this weapon has been a blast to use the last few times I have logged onto Tarkov. When looking at its stats, it doesn’t do anything spectacular, below average ergonomics, higher than average recoil when fired, and you only get to shoot once before you need to reload. And the MOA on it isn’t that good either, at 3.16. Meaning, there’s a chance you will miss your shot even if you are dead accurate with your sights. There isn’t much that can be done to the weapon either. You can swap out the wood furniture for a polymer handguard and buttstock. And you can fit an optic onto the weapon. Now, your bad weapon of choice doesn’t have to be the MP-18; it can be any weapon that isn’t considered good in the eyes of most. But Tarkov’s bad weapons are sometimes the most fun way to engage with the game, especially this late into a wipe.

A virtual economy is a system that operates within a game that allows players to purchase, sell, and trade items to and from other players. This can be used to increase the longevity of a game for returning players, providing an incentive to keep coming back.

The New Player Experience in Tarkov is Brutal in 2023
It’ll be six years since I have been playing Escape From Tarkov this coming September. That’s a long time to be playing one game. A few others that come to mind in terms of this amount of time playing one game are League of Legends, and For Honor. Although, for the latter, not so much anymore. I still have fond memories of my time with old Tarkov; what the UI looked like, how alien everything was for me, and what I was really getting myself into. It was a whole different beast back then. Nowadays, the knowledge and experience I have accumulated throughout the years has led to many more positive experiences with the game, despite all the things that have been and currently still are wrong with the game. I remember being new to Tarkov; what that felt like. Not knowing what is going on at all. What it really meant to die and lose your stuff, how the medical systems worked, the layouts of the maps; I was completely overwhelmed with the game. But I was entranced by the guns, how modifiable they were. Especially with what I was seeing online from other players, I wanted to be a part of that as well. Hell, I’ve mentioned this before, but I thought the suppressed TT was the coolest gun in the entire game for a while. Then it was the MPX, and then finally the M4. Crazy how far things have come. But... that was 2017. The game was drastically different back then. Now in 2023, I can’t imagine what it’s like being a new player to Escape From Tarkov. But I can only guess that it is very brutal.
