Escape from Tarkov is a hardcore shooter where you lose all your items if you die in the game. Made by Battlestate Games, your objective is to build your "
Hideout" (which is your base) and level up your level. You can also trade with many traders and do quests to gain items and
xp points. There are 2 main factions you choose when you first start the game
USEC, an American
PMC, and BEAR which is a Russian PMC. There is also a sub-faction called "
Scavs" there people are former PMC contractors which have left on their own path. You can collect items with them but won't lose your current gear if you die with them. Theres a 30 minute cooldown after you die or leave raid as a
Scav.
Many veterans of the game say the game is fucking shite and gives you PTSD but they still play it because it's "fun". Many new players which are called "
Timmies" have obnoxiously
bad aim and survival times but always carry their most expensive gear into raid.
The game normally costs around €40.99 but can be on sale in holidays. There are 4 different editions of the game which are more expensive but give you better loot and more storage space in your stash.
There are many jokes in the game, mainly the (head, eyes) phrase which refers to when you die painfully by one shot to the eyes, the most hard to protect vital spot in
EfT. There are countless of "Crutch Weapons" and "Rat guns" but the game overrall is pretty much balanced. Rat spots are places no one expects a player to be yet there is one.
