I Tried Tarkov PvE Mode For The First Time! - Escape From Tarkov

[@MaskedFPS]

Like this comment if you want me to make a series showing how I progress through PvE Tarkov from scratch!

[@ZetaReticulian]

Shortened raids are shit. PMC ai is good, would be better if they actually patrolled or you know, looted and shit. Moved around a little bit. They’re using raider AI. But they don’t move from where they spawn. Which is just stupid and lazy on the part of the devs. I have been grinding unheard since it came out. Now level 41. Enjoying actually being able to experience tasks I just could never experience due to try hard, sweats, and the insane amount of hackers on the pvp servers. Much more fun than pvp tarkov

[@MaskedFPS]

It's more fun than I thought tbh, although the AI seem a bit aimbotty (like raiders and rogues) which is actually annoying in open areas and i think that'll be tough to counter on some maps

[@RR-rn8ds]

so you got access only with EOD ? Really ? I have EOD i hope having access too !

[@MaskedFPS]

Yeah, I only have EOD and got access weeks ago

[@RR-rn8ds]

@@MaskedFPS okok interesting thanks you

[@thedoke]

the worst part is the time limit, its brutal

[@MaskedFPS]

Yeah I didn't even realise it was just 25mins, can't do everything I wanted to do in each raid

[@MrFizz27]

Should only be a temporary thing until the servers settle down and everybody's had a chance to try it.

[@misterymisterio8778]

Just play spt. You can put how as many hours of raid you want.

[@AGBennyCOD]

@@misterymisterio8778and the amount of stuff you can edit and change as far as the AI is insane when you add mods

[@doomslayerforever2858]

​@misterymisterio8778 I just tested this pve mode and was 25 mins this is fken scam. No raid should be timed

[@Grackula]

I agree SPT is 100x better with SAIN , questing/looting bots. PMCs do quests and extract. They have teams and you can scale the difficulty (I like pain). You can even get hunted by Uber Chad PMCs after 5-6 successful raids. PMCs actually fight scavs unlike PvE tarkov where they don’t attack each other. Generally you will find full out warzone fights etc.

[@MaskedFPS]

Thats pretty cool, I haven't tried SPT and only played one pve raid but it was alright so if I enjoy this pve I may try SPT down the road

[@Salva2073]

they do fight scavs in pve they just priorities you

[@Nohoth]

@@MaskedFPS if you try SPT I recommend the realism mod. it makes the game quite a bit harder and makes progression more of a struggle. it also adds a higher costs to healing, and items sell for way less. All of this makes the experience much more reliant on what you find in raid and what you can scavenge oppose to just getting tons of rouples and buying items from the traders. I have around 2k hours in tarkov and I can firmly say the bots from SAIN provide a solid challenge most of the time, and even play better than half the players in live Tarkov.

[@MaskedFPS]

Lot of people have said this now, that actually sounds pretty cool and I may have to give it a shot at some stage

[@itzTeflonDon_]

I only have time to play on weekends atm so I’ve been loving PvE, hopefully soon I can make a return to PvP but atm I just don’t have enough time- so this mode has been great! Love the video as always 🫡

[@MaskedFPS]

Thanks bro glad you enjoyed the videos. Yeah it must be good if you have limited time to play the game

[@JPROP-vb7sv]

PMCs are no joke. I fought a3 man last night. They were talking and working together

[@MaskedFPS]

Yeah I know what u mean. Just like raiders and they are aimbotty as hell

[@solidecourage8788]

yes same for me was like fighting one against spécial forces

[@PLAYER2035]

SPT is 100x better experience than PVE mode. The SAIN bots mod on SPT is absolutely crazy. The AI is so realistic and they actually make better plays than real players. Not to mention all the other awesome customisation

[@PLAYER2035]

Just google SPT AKI and download. The instructions are super simple and BSG no longer care if you stream or KZbin it

[@MaskedFPS]

I've seen a few videos. Is it extremely difficult in your opinion? Like do you die super often in raids? Also curious how well they roam the map

[@PLAYER2035]

@@MaskedFPS no not difficult. Just non-stop awesome action and lots of gear. You can fully tune the bots from stupid to absolute chads also. If anything, SPT is the best firing range ever and makes you a better player because you are shooting non-stop against really dynamic targets.

[@PLAYER2035]

@@MaskedFPS multiple mods work together to create custom pathing and spawning for the bots. They can and do appear basically everywhere.

[@MaskedFPS]

Oh interesting, if I enjoy the pve aspect I may give this a go, I generally prefer pvp against other real players though

[@verdigo1]

Noob here. Buddy took me in 3 times to help me do my quests. All 3 times we ran into the scav boss and got wiped. It's brutal.

[@MaskedFPS]

That's rough... what map was this on? It's probably a bit harder late wipe now with events and boss spawn rates so high

[@xJarlaxle]

I'm loving PvE mode!

[@MaskedFPS]

Good to hear, I might do a pve series to show how I progress through it If that's what people want to see

[@billzhao1857]

I'm doing hardcore pve playthrough now and I find it really fun. People find pve boring maybe are playing this mode wrong. However, SPT is 100% better, with the right mod.

[@MaskedFPS]

Nice bro Goodluck on the hard-core run

[@mrquang11212]

about PvE PMC AI, there's different between USEC and BEAR. USEC play more passively, but BEAR is a different story. Bear pushes you every time they know exactly where you are

[@MaskedFPS]

Oh this I did not know at all, extremely helpful thanks bro!

[@mrquang11212]

first when it released for EOD, it took about 3 to 4 minutes to find a match. The next day, it took 10 minutes! And now, I waited for 30 minutes still don't have a match!

[@MaskedFPS]

Try canceling the matchmaking and trying again. That made it quicker for me

[@kasauerkrautimgulasch]

​@@MaskedFPS That works some time but not allways. It seems to me that it's getting worse, last week the rematching worked relatively safely, yesterday I had the situation twice where it still took over 30 minutes. Since nothing at BSG surprises me anymore, I wouldn't be surprised if they did this to us on purpose as punishment or something like that. But there's probably a technical reason... because of the raid time: I regularly do Scavraids on reserve, where I always have over 30 minutes, with the PMC, regardless of the map, rarely more than 25 minutes. and as a Scav you don't get any reputation if you kill pmcs, that's annoying too...

[@MaskedFPS]

Interesting. Scav raids on pve are just you though right? Or do you join the raids of other people playing pve on their pmc.

[@mrquang11212]

@@MaskedFPS cancel it just the same, you get longer queue time for sure. So I just let it find match and go do something else. I waited for 37m for a single match to get the pocket watch!

[@lost4real777]

Skill issue.

[@yourfavoritejojo5235]

can you play pve mode with friends if you own EOD, and is there any major differences in pve mode with the two versions (the scam one, and EOD)?

[@MaskedFPS]

Yeah PvE can be played in co-op, although I haven't tried it myself. Not sure about differences although you get the better items with unheard addition that help you with scavs etc.

[@203joeman]

Haven't tried PVE yet, but everyone swears the SPT mod is way better.

[@MaskedFPS]

Yeah I've heard the same, but I don't know how to install spt etc. So I'll try this for now 😅

[@Grackula]

It’s a single click install to a separate directory. Mods are very simple to install with drag and drop usually

[@MaskedFPS]

Ah that's good to know, thanks bro

[@misterymisterio8778]

It isn't even a comparison. Hell, even comparing the online version of Tarkov to spt isn't fair. Once you played what's actually good, you can never enjoy the bare bones versions.

[@nexion2682]

so do i need The Unheard Edition for the pve mode or can i play it with my edge of darkness edition?

[@MaskedFPS]

I only have EOD and I can play it just fine 😁

[@erickarge1838]

PVE is fun and there’s nothing wrong with someone purchasing unheard edition brother. I do well financially and any time BSG has offered anything to purchase I and my discord group who also do well make a purchase to help gas up the company that’s working on the game we love. People forget that less than a year ago Tarkov was in the best place it’s ever been with their recoil and mantling update and cultist and Halloween events. Those that haven’t played long enough won’t get it. Give us another edition to purchase and we will buy that also… it’s your tarkov you play it how you like to and that includes PVE.

[@MaskedFPS]

It was more fun than I thought it'd be. Each to their own regarding the editions. I personally think $250 USD for a game is just too much regardless of the features. EOD is good enough for me, and we should hopefully get all DLC's as promised.

[@erickarge1838]

@@MaskedFPS didn’t they give EOD owners the PVE and apologize? In their own way of course haha… either way… I’ve been at this for a while. Your channel is going to blow up. A lot of us connect with your playstyle and the way you approach the game and it’s a chill hang. Do you stream on twitch?

[@MaskedFPS]

I think so but I'm not sure if pve is permanent or still 6months for eod holders. Glad you enjoy the videos dude appreciate that! Not streaming currently maybe something I'll do in future 😁

[@leolovenjak5208]

@@MaskedFPS Its permaent

[@MaskedFPS]

That's good to hear

[@alfie.h3397]

Haven’t played it yet, took me like 6 minutes for matchmaking so i gave up and played standard tarkov

[@MaskedFPS]

Yeah the queues are very annoying to be honest. Hopefully gets beter in future

[@PascalRibaux]

In my opinion PMCs are better equiped and more skillful/agressive than scavs but less better equiped, skillful/agressive than raiders or rogues.

[@MaskedFPS]

They aren't as crazy as rogues, but feel like raiders in my opinion

[@juggernautultimate]

As a main PVP ( ~3.5k hours on my side - not that active player due to real life activities ) i can honestly say i got caught of guard a few times by the AI / Bosses in PVE mode. I do enjoy it, but i would rather have the AI PMCs roam in higher areas and be a bit more tactical like, like hide behind cover / peak / charge. also prepare urself for the random head eyes :D the thing that gets me a bit disappointed is the raid timer and waiting time in queue for some maps due to lack of servers. rather than that it's fun for new comers

[@MaskedFPS]

Yeah they do just feel like raiders or something like that. I imagine that'd be pretty easy to die too. Thanks for commenting

[@Lovi07]

Weird how you loot a bear at 13:00 and all his loot is found in raid. I mean he came into the raid with all that stuff how the hell is it FiR ? Also you literally just equip his armor and go "hmm he didnt have any armor on" XD

[@MaskedFPS]

It's PVE haha so I assume it's all FIR. Also did not realise I took his Armour 😅

[@williamwalsh4743]

This was funny hahaha you have good muscle memory! Your brain did the "that's better" and did so many little operations that you didn't even have to think about!

[@MaskedFPS]

I try my best bro 😅 thanks

[@misterexotix]

i tried pve a few times but for some reason the pmcs dont shoot the scavs and the scavs dont shoot the pmcs so i would be surrounded by like 10 scavs and a 5 man of pmcs that will not miss any shots

[@MaskedFPS]

Oh weird I could hear them shooting each other in this raid, but maybe it glitches out sometimes

[@sgtsas1905]

mods will still have bugs but best is that hotfixes from devs does exist :) and SAIN dev has been working non stop with fika community to make sure everthing goes smooth

[@josh_nbd]

They definitely shoot each other

[@SoratiosIV]

Spt with sain, questing.looting bots is 100 times better and you can even change the difficulity, make it harder, way harder or easyer. theres no dsinc as the server is on your pc and theres no queue time. since you queue to your pc not to what ever the fuck they have done

[@MaskedFPS]

I may have to give this a go at some point

[@digitalesthetics]

feels like the whole pain and strugle and adrenaline is gone with pve.feels like a kid game now

[@MaskedFPS]

Yeah u not wrong, either get beamed by am aimbot AI or its tarkov on ez mode.

[@vlone71st]

what do you think for PvE?

[@MaskedFPS]

I think its actually better than I expected, but it might still get boring quite quickly. I may do a series on it if people enjoy it and I'll be able to see if it's fun or not

[@vlone71st]

@@MaskedFPS im sure its boring but better than PvP hackers

The Flashdrives are encrypted. Theo look the same but are pretty useless and just a cheap quest item

Are they replacing regular flash drives or they specifically for the new quest

[@lordmagma58]

@@MaskedFPStwo different items. But regular flash drives spawn less. I found both but I guess I found like 5 encrypted and 1 regular

[@doomslayerforever2858]

Timed raides in all extraction shooters is bullshit. We need more options to turn this off ill stick with sp eft

[@MaskedFPS]

Yeah raids should be longer in pve at least as long as normal raids in regular tarkov

[@XxxEternalflarexxX]

Takes me 10+ minutes to load into PvE raid....

[@MaskedFPS]

It was less than 5mins for me. I think you have to cancel it if it's taking long and try again

[@patrickschutt564]

PVE is not easy at all. I ran into a level 70 AI and he was hard to kill. Always moving, hiding and throwing grenades. He was scary to fight against.

[@MaskedFPS]

Oh wow, I'd be keen to see this. I was shocked that one of them had a bagarly tier5 rig when it was my first raid in. Seems like you need to land those headshots

[@chadofwar6554]

Put about 100 hours into PVE and i think PVE tarkov is shit compared to SPT. AI is insane its hard to get any quests done plus the time in raid makes it impossible. 1st 10/15 min im killing hordes of scavs. Was fun at 1st but became a waste of my time

[@MaskedFPS]

Yeah it definitely felt like there were so many scavs In this first raid I did, although that is common with ground zero and maybe customs etc. Might not feel as bad. Guess I'll see 😅

[@chadofwar6554]

@@MaskedFPS For an example on street while finding the ballet room i had over 25 scav kills and run of out time so i just have to exfil. this happened 2 to 3 ttmes then killed by a 5 man pmc. lost fun for me but it seems BSG is doing this shit on purpose. They are dumb but not stupid they could fix it but dont lazy ass devs. Just waiting for elden ring dlc then im done for good. GG like and subbed btw

Its excellent. Except the matching times are such utter, utter BS, I no longer want to play it.
