The Wipe that REVIVED TARKOV | Escape From Tarkov

Pretty sure Nikita will be weirded out hearing that for the first time people dont say recoil is shit.

[@Mousyy]

I was about to comment something like this, I heard rumors that Nikita was expecting people to be extremely upset over the new recoil. I genuinely can't understand why.

[@redacted5736]

Another bonus you forgot to mention is the ability to check the profile of players that killed you, it's made it so much easier to catch blatant cheaters since you can check their stats and see they have 100 hours on their profile with a 75 K/D and and 2 deaths out of 60 raids this wipe ( no shit I've already got 4 cheaters this way on woods)

[@jameskillbot2867]

130 raids 3 cheaters. In previous wipes and other games this would be a major win. These deaths have hurt bad though.

yes but it also shows you when you get clapped by a complete noob aswell lol

[@tannerhighley5782]

This is my first wipe in about 2 years and (while I’m getting absolutely clapped most raids) I’m having a great time. I’m really loving the recoil change because now I feel like my shots are going where I’m aiming. The snow did cost me introduction cause I couldn’t see the note under it and in the extra time it took me to find it, two guys had ran up and killed me. Overall though, great wipe.

[@hannibalbarkas1350]

Same. Taking a break through the worst phases of the game was a godsend, now it's just fun.

[@felonies1600]

the panic when i couldn't find the note man 🤣

[@Worldeditor668]

Same here, i stopped playing tarkov few years back as at the beginning of every wipe it was painful to shoot, all the hours you spending on grinding and build at least something decent so you can get a head/eyes within 5 minutes in the raid …not speaking of actually killing someone.. so i decided to download a game few days ago and been playing with pleasure and actually having fun. Game is giving vibe of something more casual but for some reason i actually love the way it is now.

[@Murasame13]

I had the EXACT same problem on woods. Took time to find a video to see exactly where the note is, by the time I saw, I stood up from my bush and got run up on by 2 players immediately afterwards. Would've been fine if I didn't need to look up the video haha.

[@deathbringer9893]

[@iamnuklear3266]

The best part of this wipe, at least for me is the new revised shoreline. The new elevations and cliffs are a godsend, no longer will you break your legs leaving the radio tower moving towards the shore. No longer are you just begging that your jump is high enough to scale the rocks leading to resort. That new farm type area is amazing for dropping barter items, tools like nippers, awl's, everything you'll need can be found there. Resort is still one of the most fun and engaging PVP spots in the entire game and audio aside, they did an amazing job this wipe. I for one and extremely excited to see where we are headed. Amazing takes as always and gentlemen, good luck in your raids!

[@KE8NUF]

It’s so refreshing to see new life in Tarkov

As a new player, I went into my first raid with just a pistol and the basics without even knowing they used to be terrible. Managed to kill 2 bots before getting lost and going MIA because of the timer. 10/10 would lose all my loot again.

[@TheK1llerNacho]

My experience of ground zero, which was only day 1 of the wipe, actuallt had way more pvp than any other map that I have play this wipe. The combo of high player count ,small map and close spawns means you gotta win a 1v1 in first 10 seconds of spawning to survive

[@erwannq]

Two weeks later it's much more comfy now. I actually like this map a lot and I'll be sad when I won't be able to access it anymore past lv20. I recommend night raids for questing, not a lot of players so the streets become filled with scavs pretty quick. Also you don't even need a flashlight or NVG, it's bright enough to navigate without those tools.

[@Angelfox51]

I think we must wait 3-4 months to see if this is really the best wipe because Tarkov has always this cycle when wipes and big patch are released: - for the first days and weeks, we hear "This is the best wipe, great content, novelties...." - After some weeks "There are issues with this update, there are issues still here, there are cheaters...." - After 2 months "Still cheaters, where the hell is going BSG, this is a dead game..."

[@wesleywyndam-pryce5305]

and? what the whiney children who play with game think never mattered. the game was never dying and cheaters have never been a substantial problem also bsg is doing the best method for removing cheaters, mass bans, which ignorant dipshits still whine about because they are ignorant dipshits.

[@Glxrp]

[@meskisable]

@@Glxrp Nope. New map is factory on crack. If I were new player I would stop playing. Besides tarkov is past 'beginner' phase, because majority of playerbase has hundreds or thousands hours and new players are just annoyances.

[@EvanzoZubinsky]

I am so happy with this wipe, I think community should be more vocal about how good it is to make sure BSG keeps moving in this direction. It is not obvious where to move though, recoil just feels right, I am afraid they will ruin it. Snow is awesome! Loved it

[@justine5799]

I bought the game two summers ago and haven't really played it. The recoil, armor, and ammo changes make the game fairer to less-kitted individuals, which is one of my main apprehensions. I think I'll try it out. New year, New Game.

[@evanboland1220]

I highly recommend it, game feels incredible now, all guns are usable and effective pretty much and the armor changes make armor still incredibly good but they dont turn you into an unkillable tank like it used to

[@termitreter6545]

Tbf Tarkov is an inherently unfair game, thats unavoidable. But imo what makes Tarkov great is when its skill based, when you can get good enough to overcome the challenges and even unfair situations. Its not perfect, but recoil helps a lot.

[@puddingpoppalpatine-6070]

It's nice to see you enjoying tarkov again dude. Hopefully they keep up the good work and keep you feeling good about the game.

[@ActualRilwer]

I went from struggling to fight one on one fights to wiping 4 man squads in a single wipe. This recoil is so nice I’m actually able to shoot straight for once lol

[@thishandleistaken1011]

Dude the starter map is extremely PVP oriented. It's super choke pointy like old customs.

[@otto6702]

The vaulting is by far my favorite addition. It makes fights so much more dynamic.

[@Andre-Davancens]

So happy they finally added snow to EFT. They had it back in contract wars, it looks essentially the same as the current snow, so I hope they improve on it further but its a good start.

[@Centz-YT]

the ammo change makes sense. Were fighting in a world for Supplies and things are scarce. Including ammo and Armor!

[@T-GOB]

The recoil and armor changes have already made this my favorite wipe since I first played this game back in 2020.

[@MrJohnthegamerHD]

Very glad that this step was taken by BSG. The original reason I actually started using SPT instead of just playing Tarkov was so I could try to learn the game's maps and mechanics without feeling pressured so Ground Zero's a significant step in the right direction. I don't personally agree with people saying the game's identity is built on it being unfun and being difficult to understand, though I understand their sentiments of not wanting to pander to the wider shooter audience of braindead 12 year olds.

[@colkillervin3560]

@@crss6846it’s prob gonna take like 2 months for them to update

[@its_trenner2900]

The recoil allows us to explore other builds and still be viable instead of having to build meta to win fights. I like the change a lot.

[@anaturn12]

yea guess what suddenly all those useless guns are actualy pretty good. And ergo build is a thing for more than like 4 weapon builds game is wide open right now even pictols with ap ammo are super nice

[@Jackpkmn]

I think that the modular armor helps Ceramic armors the most. Previously having the entire armor be one health resource and be penned based on that was a huge crippling thing that made using ceramic armors basically impossible. But now that you can swap the plates this isn't as big of a deal combined with the fact that plates stop all the blunt damage if they stop the round means that repairing ceramic plates will be more viable as well. Ceramic can finally be that cheap throwaway alternative for more protection.

[@termitreter6545]

Good point. Also front and back plates are seperate now.

[@Murasame13]

@@termitreter6545 This is a bigger deal than people realize. you can swap a back plate with a front plate after a firefight by taking your armor off and literally just swapping the plates. Use that back plate as an extra front plate. Helps cuz you get a fresh plate for next firefight and can potentially save you since damaged armor is less likely to stop penetration.

[@OREvilleRed]

Honestly the snow, while awesome, has made me 100% lost on woods.... Again

[@RavemastaJ]

The biggest change is that plate armor doesn't allow ANY damage through, which makes things like the PRESS armor excellent. I almost expect people to put Lvl 4 plates into it, if there's another armor with the same shape of plates. Probably Killa armor.

[@ganthrithor]

Agree on all fronts! This wipe is absolutely sick. I started two weeks late, which is usually an absolute death-sentence, but this wipe I'm actually having really fun raids! It's a-m-a-z-i-n-g being able to use trader 1 / refurbished scav guns and actually feel like you can aim and have a chance to kill things without relying mostly on luck. I've been using the heck out of the PP-19, Saiga 9, and an STM that I picked up off a player-- lots of rolling around with the civilian bolty and an SMG / PCC. Headshotting people with 9mm (either with the full auto PP / Kedr spray, or semi-auto tapping with the PCCs) has been so satisfying. I also feel like a lot of regular people are playing this wipe-- despite my late start I'm running into mostly lower-level people (almost all under lvl 20, and lots of 5-15) where in previous wipes I felt like being more than a few days late left you up against people rocking stronk kits immediately. There have been so many more good raids where I at least survive and get quests done vs previous wipes where I felt like I was just being mowed down by meta ammo constantly within a week. Also: special shout out for the snow. I LOVE THE SNOW! The new aesthetic / ambiance is amazing, and I love the way it slightly changes the gameplay as well. It's really cool being able to see further on Woods, for example, due to the thinner vegetation. I'm absolutely loving the snow and hope that the rest of the seasons make it into the game soon!

[@brucewatson2698]

It’s crazy to think the game didn’t even have working audio just a year ago

[@bob89377]

We have known what good gunplay looks like for well over a decade. Why they decided to take control over recoil away from the player in the outset is beyond me. I'm glad they finally came to their senses.

[@DraxTheDestroyer]

I absolutely LOVE the recoil fix, it literally made me come back to EFT and actually enjoy being in gunfights! Before this recoil fix, I always felt like my guns were fighting me, now they behave how they suppose to. They can still fix the ridiculous ADS sound that can be heard from 15 meters tho. No gun ever makes an audible noise like that, if you shake a drum or box magazine it will make some noise but that's it really.

[@frost3623]

This wipe feels so good so far, the vaulting and new recoil system’s feel good. As a solo player going in and feeling like I could actually out shoot a twosome with skill instead of hope and prayers is very satisfying.

[@termitreter6545]

It feels just a bit more like 2020 Tarkov combat or so, I actually fought so many duos and trios solo back then. It was difficult for sure, but so rewarding and skill based when you won. I hope Tarkov is going back into that direction, and the recoil seems like a good step.

[@theriveracis5172]

You got me to try Tarkov again. And then I instantly remembered why I don't play Tarkov, as I died in less than half the time it took me to load the game, load the menu, load the map, sit in matchmaking, and load the map again.

They should change the Ground Zero after lvl 20 lock, I think separating below and over lvl20 lobbies so you can still play it after lvl20 but don't ruin for the starters (i think this bc i like that map and it's fun)

I definitely agree. Recoil is better than ever, and the fact that good ammo isn’t readily available makes armor so much more valuable and actually useful, instead of as heavy decoration

[@animalm4st3r]

The less damage overall thing to armor comes from the new "HARD" Plates. Its unknown if its intended this way but if "HARD" Plate armor is hit with Low Pen Ammo for example Class 4 with M855, the Plate takes almost no damage and there is ZERO blunt damage transferd into the body.

this wipe is a work of art, I was not optimistic about playing this game, but it is really fun. the new map is a thing this game needed a lot, a place for low levels or new players to finally peacefully learn mechanics of tarkov. Gun fights are finally rewarding and it does not feel like an 11 year old is operating the gun. BSG did a very good job with this update :)

[@rauliiitzio1573]

In my experience the new map is far from peaceful, but that's why it's my favorite map. they should definitely make the same map for higher level players too so you are not blocked from playing the map once you hit the lvl20.

The scary part of the snow is just how visible you are in it.

Ground zero really is an amazing map for new players. I’m not technically a new player but I kinda am, as a I dabbled in this game for a month last year mainly playing woods and customs. But the experience on ground zero has been so much better, its super easy to navigate, no bush camping, tons of cover, always an extract within 5 minutes anywhere on the map and easy to understand where the choke points are that you are likely to run into players at. The woods/custom experience was so unenjoyable to learn compared to this map with all the bush camping snipers and long walks through areas with 0 cover.

[@skwidthecrayfsh34]

This is the first wipe I’ve really played, and I love it, on ground zero I went in with an UNTAR, a gssh, no armour, and a small rig with about 5 slots and an MP5, a friend in my trio brought a level 3 vest for me We ran through the terra group hallway and got the science lab quest done, when I come back down the stairs there’s a man at the end of the car park hallway, so I run back up to take cover At this time another enemy appears at the main entrance A member of my trio peaks the man in the hallway and dies, I run down to the main foyer to join my remaining teammate- we’ve both taken several hits and need to heal, I cover him while he does, and while I’m healing he is shot and killed by the man at the entrance I kill the man at the entrance with my mp5 and sprint across to him, I grab his helmet, his AKS74u (which then lasted me for about 4 days because I managed to survive that long), his armour, backpack, and rig I prepare my new gear and I press down the hallway. Thankfully my friend that died had actually traded with him- I take his AK74m and run to the car park exit to the extract near the medical tent As I’m exiting the car park there’s lots of gunfire up the road, when I check there’s a man near the bus stop, I fire a burst from my stolen AK74M, he runs into the bus stop- he peaks me again and I put a bullet between his eyes Then- 200m away, barely a small smudge in my red dot- I see a man under the overhang of a building, i fire a short burst and see him run to cover- then his friend runs out to where he was…. Neatly positioning his head under my red dot, a single, stolen, BP 5.45x39 round flies through his brain, and i sprint to the extract That’s just one example of MANY exhilarating fights I’ve had so far Another being my second raid- wearing a stolen ratnik helmet and some PACA armour, trusty M4A1 in hand, and we pushed dorms- why? I don’t know I think someone had a task there- anyway, one of us gets “head eyes” from a scav outside, and we enter the middle floor Down the hall I see a backpack and fire sone roubds, it disappears and we move in, after emerging from a side room I see several silhouettes against the opposite doorway, I let rip with my M4 and duck into the hallway to reload, killing a scav below me as well My friend covers me as I sprint back out to the exterior stairs and we enter through the other side to check the bodies On the 2 PMCs I killed there was a strandhogg, a Korund with Lv5 armour, and a ULACH As well as an MCX with multiple mags of AP .300 blackout We managed to extract later and I had 11 kills, 2 PMCs 9 scavs The recoil feels really good- not too easy on larger rounds but not so tough that my arms feel permanently broken- and I’m loving this, my only issue is a lack of knowing where things are in the maps, and the fact that I can’t find any DAMN SALEWAS but I’m so far through prapors line that I’m unlocking things with his quests that I can’t even buy yet cos I’m only lv 9

[@fredybeans2433]

I might jump back into it after more than a year of not playing

[@JJ-ft6jb]

This wipe finally gave me a feel of direction for the game, a trajectory without all the complaints and bs. Finally feels like tarkov is going somewhere again.

Ground zero kind of feels like a swamp fest right now

Yea this new recoil alone is like a whole different game. Fights are actually fun now for the first time in years

[@manuelmendez980]

The recoil update NEEDED the armor update to work. You don't feel a difference, but there is a huge one. The biggest one is that if the ammo doesn't pen the plate, you don't get any blunt damage, meaning someone with crappy bullets can not overwhelm you to the point you just die out of blunt damage, as it was before. Furthermore, the armor underneath must be pierced once the plate is pierced. This leads to more prolonged firefights, which is very satisfying. It is also so good to have killed so many turbosweats that are level 30 on day 3 of the wipe; the ground is even now, their maxed kits mean shit. Now it is not possible to hide skill behind the attachments. Streamers will die a lot more.

This is the best wipe since 2020 when the game blew up on twitch. I've been having a hard time so far but I love all the changes. My first raid with the snow I didn't even know it had been added yet so that came as a pleasant surprise.

Nah, walking haphazardly into the open and getting beamed is exactly how the game should work.
