The Nocturnal Creatures of Tarkov | Tarkov Geographic

[@sythenalpha2037]

the sightless rat usually uses cranked setting to gain a advantage over budget nvg users

[@Opachki69420]

you can use -100 brightness on any night vision to get better view distance, it literally removes some of the fog

Can we take a second to appreciate how dirt nasty that drive-by shotgun kill was at 6:42?

One of my friends is like a Crackhead version of a Firefly. He goes on night raids with a flash light and does nothing but hunt cultists.

Call em raptors or predators?

also, i have never used nvgs at night, majority of the time i run without them due to my monitor

Once upon a time there was a very common species, the bats. These individuals developed a mutation called "Brightness all the way up" that garanted them the ability to see as well at nigth as a cat, even without the nigth vision mutation. They usually behave like rats, moving completely in the dark, looking for subsistence while avoiding PMCs. Their intermediate equipment, mainly tier 4 armor and automatic weapons, used to make them very capable of defending themselves angaist Scavs and other mid tier species. Most carry flashligths but will only use them when absolutely necessary, still they pose a great danger to PMCs that depend of their night vision at close to medium ranges. Since the great darkness (a cataclysmic event that made the region of Tarkov much darker), and also with the cultist invasion, this population is losing members at an alarming rate and is at high risk of extinction. Some of the survivors are adapting into fireflies, while others turn themselfs into more common daily species like AK users and SMG users. Still if you look with enough attention they can still be spotted at Customs mainly during the latter stages of the wipe when most Owls are hunting over the Factory. Their population has endured a bigger hit in the other maps, specially in Woods and the above mentioned Factory, where those PMC never thrive before.

[@Sylusssss]

It's called buy a decent monitor that can display true black and it will change the night forever

[@Yurik-the-marksman]

Bro i main nighttime and most of my friends think im nuts but i love it. Glad you included us gargoyles in your research

[@krieg3736]

Dude nighttime is so fucking cool

[@Gokaes]

same i play nighttime almost zealously in woods and recently in reserve but its good money

[@jc2006_]

You forgot the extra rare species that evolved to not need nvgs to see at night

[@Driver-qt9jh]

Talking about nvg scopes for a second: NSPU users are basically fireflies, but worse at short range Vulcan users are extremely rare, but are usually more advanced NSPU users. Often running the scope with a flash light for close range. Thermal users often run another set of nvg, but with the added risks of emerging during the day and being complete monsters at range or down a corridor. There is also the T12W and 155 Ultima thermal users, who are currently being researched.

[@Thund3r0v]

T12W and Ultima users are just a pair of hands poking out of a doorway/window in a building ready to fire on anything that shows up on the display. Probably the most territorial thing to ever exist.

[@enragedwtpilot1904]

what about the vulcan 3.5x species?

[@Official_Ecto]

You're blowing up with this stuff, And i absolutely understand why. I love these video's.

[@whothehell978]

I like to hide in the office at factory and occasionally flash a flashlight at the doors. Makes me feel like I’m playing five nights at Freddys

[@MerrickTherapist]

I've been an owl since my first wipe. The night is great for for hiding. I prefer to use the Fast MT, Sarmor, and TK trooper, that way you have full head protection with high ricochet, no loss of vision, no annoying breathing, and GPNVG's.

[@rangerfliqpy5517]

I love night raids bc if I was a lost PMC in enemy land, I'd only go out at night. It feels more immersive, especially when it rains and storms!

[@topbanana.2627]

Until you get beamed from the shadows

[@BalgaBear]

This most recent wipe has found me running through the night. I'm just like that guy 5:46 I get the loot, and I'm gone.

[@STruple12]

Oh yes, this is an amazing improvement when compared to older geographic vids. Thank you!

[@swindle9695]

When you're running through the woods in Tarkov at night and get ambushed by a Chimera from the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. video game. ._.

[@ratasslordofyoink4542]

That'd be a really good event idea

[@AceLegend1337]

Positive comment for the algorithm! Get that bag Leviticus! Love this series.

[@JHohenhauser]

KZbin recommended this to me just after you uploaded. I think they're telling me to subscribe, which I will. I can take a hint.

[@putrigrimm5252]

Though rare, there is one more class. These scavengers tend to avoid conflict though being well armed enough to take down formidable foes. these rare scavengers tend to use th N-15 night vision goggles, even though it is most likely the least useful.

[@justinhazelwood193]

This is me, I like running around like I’m Solid Snake and turning Tarkov into a full stealth game.

[@xmapa4677]

That cultist clip at 5:45 is amazing.

[@deurikin2466]

is there gonna be a seperate video for the T-7 thermal goggles? those guys are F'ing terrifying

[@EmptyJarDoto]

In fact, the flashlight users on factory are the biggest chads. They counter the NVG users there completely.

[@EmptyJarDoto]

And I'd say the rarest but the chaddest species is T-7 chads.

[@hudra5528]

i run a majority of my raids at night, and both predator and prey

[@moldoveanucosmin8369]

Someone give this guy a thermal nvg already, we need to see how those creatures are actively hunting other members of inferior classes

[@garrettv.2632]

"The thermal user is an extremely rare creature, almost never seen by anyone who got away to tell the tale. They utilize the T-7 thermal vision goggles, which are the equivalent of a hack. Despite needing to turn off the thermal to utilize any sight aside from irons, they pose a threat equal, if not greater than the .338 Mk-18 user. If anyone were to see one of these in the wild, the best suggestion would be to run."

[@elbowdestruction9691]

You forgot the most dangerous and most rare, the woods player who uses T7 thermal goggles.

[@Thund3r0v]

The torch user could also be the long raid operator/packrat that comes from a randumb mutation or unfortunate circumstances of either: Being poor as shit. Forgetting how much sun they have left and are thus wandering the woods like a finnish/slavic man after drinking "too much" of their favorite alcohol. After such an event, they try to rationalize what had happened and might formulate a plan to turn the tables on other creatures of the night. When 50% of the raid is too bright for NVG's, but the latter 50% is too dark for the naked eye, the torch user reaches the absolute state of balance of not getting shot to shit, because 75% of the predators in a given area are dead/already extracted giving them time to loot/kill, untouched areas/scavs of importance and escaping. The working environment sucks but the benefits are nice. Or they are just squatting in place spending time by drinking vodka, condensed milk and energy drinks to get that immunity up.

[@mopstickfps6128]

the amount of quests completed in this video is beyond me lol

[@cddevelopment363]

As a nightcrawler myself, I feel the need to weigh in. You forgot about the Armasight NVG users, and the Thermal scope users.

[@thecreekrat69]

I feel like night raids are almost like a solo mode. I can go to resort fight one or two people loot and leave. Sometimes I just get tired of having to fight 3 mans over good loot spots

[@thebudgetchad813]

Since night rats have low visibility shouldn't they be called, MOLE RATS?
