The Evolution of the Cowboy | Tarkov Geographic

The Cowboy is actually an invasive species to Tarkov, instead originating from the undead-infest bayous of Louisiana.

[@space_artist_4real138]

Indeed

[@BenLJudy]

Historically, scoped single shot rifles and pump action shotguns were, while not common, present in the wild west, so the 133 Cowboy is in fact a member of the cowboy genus and the MP18 Cowboy can, in some cases, evolve into the MP18 with a 4x pilad scope. They don't evolve advanced optics of course, but a simple two line crosshair is known as a rare mutation.

[@doublepiedavid8908]

Also, don’t forget bolt guns. There where at least a couple mosins in the American west depending on how you define it, and the VPO is a good analogue for a generic bolt action rifle

[@SonOfTheDawn515]

​@@doublepiedavid8908 Springfields and other milsurps maybe but not Mosins.

[@AspiLeo]

@@SonOfTheDawn515 Mosin-Nagant rifles were there as well. They were actually brought back by members of the Buffalo Bills Wild West Show from Europe.

[@TheHandgunhero]

@@AspiLeo No, the Mosin Nagant wasn't introduced into American civilian markets until the Bannerman .30-06 conversions and the American Government milsurp bailouts of Remington, Winchester and Westinghouse in the aftermath of the Russian revolution preventing fulfilment of payments for American Mosin production for Russia in WW1 and immediately after. The Old West was over in 1912. In terms of bolt action rifles in the Old West, it was mostly the Krag-Jorgenson, the M1891 Carcano and the 1886 Vetterli rifles that popped up towards the latter years. But they were all considered inferior to the Winchester and Marlin lever actions that dominated the American repeating rifle market for the purposes of the needs of frontiersmen.

[@AspiLeo]

@@TheHandgunhero I didn’t talk about commercial market. I’m talking about people travelling to Europe together with the buffalo bill Wild West Show and bringing back many European guns. Not just Mosin Nagants, but also a lot of Gasser revolvers. Not to mention some of the french stuff. Lebel, Krapotschek, Gras… you name it. These of course were not in large quantities and could’ve only been very few in comparison of what people call „present in that country at that point in time“ but they were there.

To the town of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine day Hardly spoke to folks around him, didn't have too much to say No one dared to ask his business, no one dared to make a slip For the stranger there among them had a big iron on his hip Big iron on his hip It was early in the morning when he rode into the town He came riding from the south side slowly lookin' all around He's an outlaw loose and running, came the whisper from each lip And he's here to do some business with the big iron on his hip Big iron on his hip In this town there lived an outlaw by the name of Texas Red Many men had tried to take him and that many men were dead He was vicious and a killer though a youth of 24 And the notches on his pistol numbered one and 19 more One and 19 more Now the stranger started talking, made it plain to folks around Was an Arizona ranger, wouldn't be too long in town He came here to take an outlaw back alive or maybe dead And he said it didn't matter he was after Texas Red After Texas Red Wasn't long before the story was relayed to Texas Red But the outlaw didn't worry men that tried before were dead 20 men had tried to take him, 20 men had made a slip 21 would be the ranger with the big iron on his hip Big iron on his hip The morning passed so quickly, it was time for them to meet It was 20 past 11 when they walked out in the street Folks were watching from the windows, everybody held their breath They knew this handsome ranger was about to meet his death About to meet his death There was 40 feet between them when they stopped to make their play And the swiftness of the ranger is still talked about today Texas Red had not cleared leather 'fore a bullet fairly ripped And the ranger's aim was deadly with the big iron on his hip Big iron on his hip It was over in a moment and the folks had gathered round There before them lay the body of the outlaw on the ground Oh, he might have went on living but he made one fatal slip When he tried to match the ranger with the big iron on his hip Big iron on his hip Big iron, big iron When he tried to match the ranger with the big iron on his hip Big iron on his hip

Tarkov would be a hell of a game for cowboys if there was a 30 30 leveraction and the mosin nagant would also count as a western gun because it was made in 1891

[@kelvinsantiago7061]

How about a whole family of lever guns instead a .357 lever carbine a 30-30 and a 45/70 .

[@MrAirpumpkin]

This sounds like a surprisingly potent "adaptation" because the self-imposed cultural rules, equipment restrictions, and underdog syndrome of cowboyhood would (at least on paper) all help subvert some of risks and drawbacks of pack hunting (greed, betrayal, etc). Its one thing to get a group to spam cheap weapons (so they don't see each other as targets) but the meme'ry of the yeeha would in theory encourage the specimens to stick with it instead of breaking down and fighting over superior chad loot. XD Excellent video mate, you really sell it.

[@matthewblackwood9653]

Why fight over the Chadded out M4 or that Altyn helmet? It's not Cowboy, can't use it anyways.

[@MrAirpumpkin]

@@matthewblackwood9653 Once rats realize not all cowboys are in it for the loot it'll be a natural adaptation to pose as one hoping to score some kit or cash the rest of the posse passes over, and when two cowrats inevitably meet it'll be "high noon" time.

[@awesomezombi1026]

I firmly believe there should be a counter to accidental team killing. There are two counters I could see working. A. Either have a mechanic which makes your PMC keep his gun's sight off any friendlies automatically, as people usually don't like to point guns at their friends. So, say if someone were to aim at their friend's head, it would act as if there was a barrier and the gun would move to the right or left of their friend's head. Or B. Add complete character customization, where you can choose each individual clothing piece like insurgency sandstorm, and let people dress up as cowboys. I am sure that I will not ever shoot at a cowboy.

lol my first day (before i realized 95% of the game is googling things and playing tetris) i spent like 15 or so raids with a pistol and shotguns just farming factory.. while i wasted all the gear and stuff i got (which i now realize was some pretty expensive stuff to lost to a makarov) it was the most fun i've had playing the game... and always make sure to head back to factory with the 2 mt-255s and blast away... always cheers me up.

[@irishkelly2062]

Has co-op offline raids made your job easier? That is, for the specimens you convince to join you, rather than the unknowing stalking with a camera you do.

[@GirlypopShotgun]

most of the "filler" shots (third-person shots) are taken in co-ops

[@maxcomstock1831]

Dude the “for the right to mate” got me in the revolver section

[@SplashingMANGO]

I need to make a correction from the newest tier list where I made an assumption about the MP-18 since it's on the shotgun lsit by the devs. I had said the MP-18 single shot rifle was likely the same as the .366 AK, where it may be the very end of the barrel that's rifled so that's why it would be categorized as a shotgun because Russian laws DEFINITELY make sense. Baikal is the most prolific company that makes those rifles and they sell them both as shotguns and as rifles. What seems to be the most common from the limited research I've done, is the .410 shotgun varients which rifle conversion kits are sold for to get around convoluted and un-freedom loving laws. It's possible that the devs at BSG have only seem them as shotgun conversions as they are located in a big city where the laws are even less friendly, or they are implying that all of the MP-18s in the Tarkov region are all converted shotguns. Either seems equally likely as, outside of Russian sites, it seems to be a toss up if you'll see it for sale as a rifle or as a shotgun.

So I watched it at .25x speed, and it's still a little fuzzy what happened. The guy's head jerked back like it had been hit, but there was no blood splatter at all. I can't tell if the head jerk was from the shotgun blast or from the shotgun model and character model colliding. Either way, with no blood splatter Tarkov seems to have decided the shot was a miss, which explains not dying.
