So this on the Escape from Tarkov subreddit made me realise that joining a public lobby in Sim racing is like playing Tarkov. Hear me out.

1. In Tarkov, the primary goal is to enter a raid and extract on the other side alive. In Sim racing, the primary goal is to enter a race and finish it alive.

2. In Tarkov, kill on sight is not always the best and safest strategy to survive, cooperation is (as demonstrated by the thread I linked). In Sim racing, sometimes it's not worth it to attack/defend but cooperating by racing along for a while to rejoin the pack or leave the pack behind is the better strategy.

3. Following point 2, in Tarkov you never really know how an encounter will go before as well as during. Your friendly scav/PMC might just headshot you any moment to take your loot. In Sim racing, you also never know how long your new found team mate will stab you in the back.

4. In Tarkov, being a "rat" means you wait out 2 players shooting each other out so that you can then kill whoever is left. In Sim racing, 2 drivers battling it out is often a good passing opportunity for the patient driver "rat".

5. In Tarkov, a "Chad" is a fully decked out PMC who destroys everyone by their superior skills. In Sim racing, a Chad is someone with a fully decked out Sim rig destroying everyone with their superior skills.

6. In Tarkov, some rich but poorly skilled players Resort to real market trade to buy gear with real money in order to compete. In Sim racing, more often than not, poorly skilled drivers think that acquiring better Sim racing equipment will make them faster (it's tongue in cheek, please don't downvote me lol. I'm the first with horrible gear acquisition syndrome).

7. In Tarkov, even if you're a Chad, sometimes you get taken out by an exit camper "rat" Scav just before extracting after having dominated the whole raid. In Sim racing, sometimes you dominate the lobby, lap the bottom of the grid only to be taken out on the last turn of the last lap by a blue flagged driver who dive bombed you in the chicane.

Anything else I'm missing?

I was scrolling through youtube and found this video about Tarkov and I think most of the people in this subreddit might want to watch it:

credit to , please go watch it.

Watching this video made me feel above the controversies, dramas, and debates surrounding this game. It clicked for me: fun, realism, reward feelings, and immersion are all different things that Tarkov can achieve in many ways.

With this wipe, this week's Reddit posts have been filled with players arguing about the new hitboxes and armor changes. Good armor no longer makes you an unstoppable force, and I really like that change, in contrast to most of the opinions I've read that say this change will negatively impact casual players or that there's now no advantage in using level 5/6 armor. And that is GOOD! Forget the casuals, forget the people who think it's insanely complex. You won't be aiming for a guy's armpit just because they don't have armor there; you will aim where you can at that moment, or the other guy will shoot you, and you'll be dead.

The point is no one is entitled to the need for feeling accomplished playing this game; you have to earn it yourself. And for me, that's a beautiful way of looking at this game, this piece of art. Yeah, art, because art is not for everyone, just as Tarkov is only for us, the degenerates who come back again and again, hooked on the feeling of dying, killing, looting, and escaping... only to thrive in a videogame where all the odds are pointing knifes at your back.

I know that this is just an opinion on an opinion video from a game that we all play differently but I just wanted to rant for a bit and see what other players might think about this. To me feels refreshing seeing that not everyone is dropping hate on the devs and every decision they make.

Iv been in the market for a new machine for a little while as mines about 9 years old now but I am having a hard time pulling the trigger because I only play Escape from Tarkov and World of Warcraft. People have been saying the 5800x3d and 7800x3d are like 'the' cpu's for Tarkov.

My current specs are: i7-6700k, gtx1070, 16gb ddr4 3800mhz.

At low settings, I get about 80-120fps in Tarkov with some dips at 1080p. People keep telling me ill get like 180fps constant with the 5800x3d on the current graphic settings I play on. Is that possible paired with my gtx 1070? I saw this cpu/mobo/ram bundle at Micro Center and it's only 350 dollars and I can use my memory with it so id have 32gb running at 3200mhz.

I rather spend 350 now to hold me over until something like GTA 6 comes out rather than drop 3k on a new PC/monitor now for 2 old games. I also don't want to spend 350 dollars if it's only going to give me a 10% gain in performance but I was just curious because everyone says these cpu's run Tarkov so easy.

Thanks!

Im searching for a cool modern day Extraction / Loot Shooter which is just a tiny bit more casual then EFT. Played Tarkov some hours but the game is just too much for me. Too hardcore to say.Sadly one of the games that I had some fun with already closed their gates due to hackers and whatnot, Im talking about The Cycle Frontier, that game was the perfect fit for me.

I know there are some games on the horizon that can probably fit my description, for example Once Human, Beautiful Light or even Division Heartland. BUT they are on the horizon

There is also a possibility that as of today there are no games that fit my description, but thats why I ask you guys.

And if u recommend games, really stay with my description, I dont wanna see Games like Hunt here or some Topdown game or something. Modern Day Weapons, First or Third Person Shooter, and obviously PvPvE.

I hope someone has the golden Game I search and I just dont know about its existence yet.

Holy crap it has been a while LOL. With the new wipe coming up I have some more shit to update but I am pleased to present my 3.0 version of my guide! but I finally got around to updating it!

IF YOU HAVE ANY ISSUES WITH FORMATTING, PLEASE USE CHROME OR DOWNLOAD THE PDF!

I am actually going to be working (for realsies this time) on my new guide for intermediate players which will include:

• Map traversal tips: How/where to jump to traverse terrain quickly without causing fractures/black legs (Note: I will include mantling tips whenever that's released.)

• Map Migration Routes: Where and how PMCs spawn and where they tend to move, common sight lines for first contact.

• Combat: Risk vs Reward assessments, how to recognize what gun is being fired, When to push vs hold an angle.

• Quest/Hideout Prioritization: Exact routes to run to best complete quests and hideout for optimal setup to generate profit via Hideout crafting at different stages of the wipe as well as via bitcoin/scav case, using best available information.

That's obviously going to be a lot of work but I have a foundational framework already in place. I plan on hosting my next guide version on my own website (I'm learning web dev so might as well use what I learn hunh!) along with some fun tools.

Like my guide? Great, let me know in the comments! If you play Sea of Thieves What about Puzzle Pirates? (If you have no idea what puzzle pirates is, that's normal.)

Note: If this counts towards #TarkovTips I'd be very surprised but happy (But I doubt it would.)

Like it? Hate it? Did I miss anything? Let me know!
