Tarkov, hmmm...

Ever considered Hunt Showdown? People like comparing the two, due to them being "hardcore" shooters. I used to play Hunt all the time, before life got busy. Now Im considering coming back for the custom ammo they introducing lately.

Really Hunt has monsters while Tarkov hasn't, so i don't get how side the shooting of players.

It's more because of the limited amount of hardcore fps shooters. I hear them together a lot because of this. They are very different, but they share similarities of losing something valuable when you die. Most shooters lack any real punishment for death.

I have thought about it, and watched some gameplay of it. So who knows, might pick it up some point in the future.

I have over 400 hours and only about half of those are from my leaving the game on while I'm making myself a sandwich.

Different strokes for different folks

Some people like to commit industrial genocide in video games, and some people like to coach professional actors on a field where sometimes a ball gets kicked.

rip

Ive already lost all my starting guns on my PMC bar a single AK74U. So ill need to buy some more or hope i get a good scav run and get even one or two weapons back.

Speaking of scavs by the way, i know they have random loadouts, but the last scav i had was like a bad gta character. He wore a white skull helmet, a bright blue, white and red Russian Olympic jacket and had a fucking pistol.

I think he’d be happier if he admitted liking things is more fun the hating things. I could also click my heels and wish for Kansas which would probably be more productive.

Got my first successful raid in Tarkov. But it was as a scav, and i loaded into the raid with only like 10 minutes left so most people were dead or gone so i just made my way to the exit, picked up some money then got out with the scav's loadout which included an SKS.


Which i then lost the next raid as my PMC lol
