I wouldn't entirely agree. I have kappa on pvp and I've played tarkov for like 4 years now, and tarkov is pretty disgusting rn honestly. U move = u die is a thing unfortunately for the most part as BSG encourage non-active gameplay. They are talking about some punishments for camper players like that new boss and PMC Karma but I'm not sure how they gonna do it and not fuck it up like they usually do. I didn't even mention poor server performance and cheating problem. So I agree that PVE is one of the best things happened to tarkov.

I've always lightly messed with tarkov over the years, not going beyond level 20 usually, first time i ever saw Tagilla was last week, STOMPING down the office hallway of factory, i didnt realize it was him until he closed half the distance and i mag dumped 80% so i bail until and run almost to med tents, and kinda peek back over up at the office hall stairs, feeling cocky and damn if he didnt appear like an evil genie and lazer beam me down in the blink of an eye lol

[@fearm424]

@@min0tauerI think normal boss spawn rate is alright maybe a little less. However the Goons is an exception because of how many maps they’re on, how difficult they can be especially for lower level players, and they move across the entire map where as the other bosses you can learn where they spawn and areas to maybe avoid/be cautious.

[@benallmon5613]

The fact that I can reset my wipe when I want to, as well as not wipe it, is amazing. I have had EFT for multiple wipes but never went into Labs. Now I've played Labs a ton. And have learned the map better and will be ready for next wipe. Once wipe happens, doubt I'll be on PvE much but late wipe sucks so it's fun to be able to play my favorite game whenever I want.

for me it has been a breath of fresh air. i played tarky for years but after alot of the changes and the rat/ bush wookie meta i walked away. this has been a fantastic way for me to not only play solo but play with friends in a way that we can talk and laugh and joke and sprint around, instead of feeling like we have to have clear comms and be 100% locked in from the moment the raid starts.

[@SportDCS]

One of my biggest gripes is the AI PMCs don’t fight bosses and scavs don’t tend to go hunt them out. I feel like this would make PvE align a little better along with PvP

[@ZeeroDubs]

While I don't disagree, this would definitely end up causing complaints of people having trouble getting kill quests done because "AI keeps killing the scavs/bosses/PMCs that I need to kill!". Just a thought.

[@Wouterium]

I totally agree. I shot tagilla at some point, only to be shot by a PMC that was just chilling around the corner even though he had a full visual on Tagilla and vice versa lol, not engaing whatsoever. That kinda ruins the immersion

[@startide]

PMCs dont' seem to fight each other, at least they seemed like they acted as a squad each time (haven't played much, plus I am terrible at tarkov).

[@Blazerri]

PMC AI is carbon copy from raiders. They act exactly the same

[@lokinho91]

[@sirsaucy122]

The Goon spawnrate is honestly kind of infuriating, especially for Shoreline. I think the reason people didn't mind in PVP was their low spawn chance, but when they spawn there 11 raids in a row, it's pretty obvious that their sightlines from there are huge and there's almost no cover for the approach up the hill. Not to mention that since they usually don't fight PMCs (for whatever ungodly reason) you could wind up fighting essentially 3 bosses and 1-4 raiders just to get your signal jammer down. I love higher unique boss spawn rates but I'm getting real sick of World War Goon

[@ZeeroDubs]

I really think they should rename th Goons to American Express. This mfers are everywhere I want to be.

[@Ixxlostinabox]

Oh people did mind in PvP. You can't go right from the gas station at all if the goons are up. They will spot you before you even get pass the pier buildings. The problem is that Birdeye gets into positions with massive sightlines, and once he sees you its game on from there.

[@Theorchero]

Play SPT. You can alter all spawn rates, mod in improved sights, etc. It's extremely customizable.

[@EddieD-mu6mh]

[@deakon7984]

been playing pve for 2 weeks now and the Goons have killed me so many times. Early game they are on the main maps you need, woods, customs, and shoreline and they seem to be on which ever map I need 90% of the time and have been on a map I changed to when I was just killed by them on another. Super annoying. I have killed them all once at least then next raid next day birdeye was in a part of customs I have never seen them before out for revenge lol

[@DDAWG7788]

I've been playing tarkov every wipe for about 20-30 hours since 2018. I just get bored and discouraged because im terrible at it (almost never got past level 20) and dont have the time or desires to sink hours into it every day. PvE is the perfect fix, I've already got 2 friends back in that haven't played for 2-3 wipes.

[@BrutalGames]

This is a really good addition. It just needs to be refined.

[@ShortThrowShifting]

PvE brought myself and two friends back to Tarkov. It's been a really enjoyable experience so far, and because we aren't super experienced, we find the AI a challenge. That may change over time, but the best part is playing alongside friends and getting to learn Tarkov in ways we previously didn't have the time to.

[@D3TROY3R99]

One of my favorite parts of the game is the weapon customization and variation, it feels good to not feel like i need to run the best guns and ammo all the time

[@ZeeroDubs]

Another thing I havent heard many people mention that perhaps is just a me thing, i love how I can actaully play the game in a much more tactical manner and be far more immersed without feeling the need to watch youtube videos on how to exploit the movement system to run around like its CoD or else be completelydisadvantaged. I can play it like Im playing Ghost Recon from back in the day. Which is exactly what I wanted from Tarkov when i purchased it way back in 2017. This style of gameplay will get you killed in PvP and mocked ruthlessly on reddit.

[@moxelterrier7466]

Thanks mate! This makes the game perfect for casual players like me, that want to play, but almost never have the opportunity to play resanoble with highend gear. I feel like i would have a lot of fun later on in the game. Without having to worry that it wipes. Acctually beeing able to use great gear with a clear benifit, without ever doubting that it's gear fear or i'm thinking i'm to under leveled in my character skills etc. , is a really great addition to the game. I think a lot of guys that also can't play much have the same problem. Personally i accumulated 2000+ hours, but it just doesn't matter when your skill fades over time and experience just doesn't cut it. Never getting to use late game stuff for good and just wanting to run some nice shit whilst having fun shouldn't be to much to ask for (well atleast outside of offline gameplay xD). And now it is'nt! Playing early wipe for a few day's straight when having time off is fun but every wipe over and over just doesn't get you far. I'm not a great player and may never be one, but not having to worry about those who are, in each and every raid, is a great thing, when playing from time to time! ;)

So i play it like 15 hrs a week (including weekends) and i was not able to keep up with all the "chads", younger people (reflexes) and of course the cheaters are a plague.

funny you say that as they killed me in 7 raids on customs then on the one woods raid I did after the streak of dying to them they spawned behind me on woods and after a long sprint for my life I got somewhere I felt comfortable fighting in and killed them lol, honestly the fight reminded me of MGS3 with "The End" as Birdeye hid up in the woods up the hill after him and I swapped sides from me killing Knight and Big Pipe, Birdeye finally decided to move up on me which is when I used Knights gun to kill him

[@trathanstargazer6421]

Real honest opinion. If BSG just gave over the PvE side to the SPT crew, and allowed them to handle that but now with official capacity we would all benefit from that. You already have a side of people that are capable of making the proper changes to make the PvE fun and fair, and already have mod support involved.

So I played about 30 hours of PVE so far I think. And honestly, while the progression and map learning is great, at some point it becomes... same old same old I guess? I found myself getting back to PVP pre wipe and just get rid of the gear fear lol. But yeah, I will probably come back to PVE when the wipe has outsped me as you said, and then just take it easy. And honestly, maybe PVE is made to be played hardcore. It gets rid of the repetition I think. Only gripe I had with PVE so far is the low raid timers. If you stand your ground on a scav assault theres no way you can loot all of them and extract in time. Looting and exploring is a big part of this game, and with the reduced timers there is just less of that and more bullet wasting on scavs.

They should also engage each other.

[@ZeeroDubs]

My theroy on why they are less aggro to each other is so that yiu can actually complete kill focused requirements. People would be so pissed if every raid was just filull of dead bodies 15 minutes into the match because they all killed each other. Bmand if they made it to where they shot at each other but couldn't kill each other, people would complain about how wonky that is. So at least this way we can get our kills done while complaining about them not shooting at each other.

[@Gamerz2Gamerz]

I am personally really enjoying PVE after writing the game off probably a year or two ago. I’m really happy with the new maps I’ve never played and I actually feel like I’m progressing really quickly which is probably about 5x as fast as the regular game. I do think that for the game to consistently be fun however that they need to do an AI overhaul especially with PMCs and Scavs not fighting, enemies literally spawning right in front of you, maps like woods and shoreline being relatively safe compared to the other maps and overall more variance to where you will get engaged in combat. Other stuff like GP coins and long range sniping quests really need reworks as it seems that nothing really spawns in until you get close which can really screw an entire squad sometimes. Overall tho I’m really enjoying it and playing against AI makes ammo not matter quite as much (until you run into Killa 5 times in a row)

[@grimgravy711-]

And for the Streets map Id imagine it runs better in PVE mode because its not trying to support the player population for the map and only needs to focus on one or so. So that is going to give you the better frames. Another reason why pve mode should be available to everyone, some people are not able to play streets at all due to the optimization problems.

Two things I have issues with in pve tarkov are, why are there so many scavs per raid? I just did a streets raid and almost got 60 kills. Just to do 2 quests. I had to constantly run for my life, use 2 different scav/pmc weapons, and ended up not being able to do a third quest due to not enough time. My second thing is, I do not get scav rep when killing pmc players in scav runs, even when they have killed multiple scavs themselves. My scav rep is in the negatives because my only income is through car extracts and scav extracts. which both are not long term usable (car extract gives less and less rep each time per map).

[@isaiah.7948]

In my level 26 pve experience, it feels like boss spawn rates are at 90 percent, and the bosses have been shooting scavs for me ass well. I instantly know if gluhar is on the map by the amount of gunfire and the pile of dead scavs around him.

[@DuckyBee156]

PVE Tarkov is THE REASON I downloaded the game again

[@israelbrandongarcia3911]

One thing I've noticed is boss rates are damn near guaranteed if you group up with someone

[@oxygen6931]

the one thing keeping me away from pve was that i thought it would be too easy, somehow its more stressful than the pvp version of the game. i find it really easy to get overwhelmed by scavs as a solo but its a lot of fun with friends

[@taylorwrigley829]

I quit playing tarkov awhile back. I was never a particularly good player. Not to mention getting topped by cheaters whenever I brought in good gear was always very irritating. I tried SPT, and absolutely loved it, however as I began to further mod it, I ended up breaking the game, and wasn’t sure how to fix it. I just shelved the game completely. Now that BSG has supported PVE, I’ve gotten back into it. It’s challenging, at times frustrating, but I never feel like I got cheated. It’s also helped me improve my skills over time. I’m much more accurate than I once was, and have adapted to the volume of scav spawns. My only real gripe so far is the goons. They spawn too often, and particularly early on they make quests unnecessarily difficult. You really need to cheese them to fight them normally, and when you only have garbage ammo, it becomes next to impossible. Overall, it’s returned a game to me that I genuinely loved, but due to a combination of my mediocrity, 3 man sweatlords, and cheaters, I had given up on.

[@phaledax3661]

The only way I played Tarkov and had fun was knowing I am a casual and not bother with the hideout or tasks. I just rolled out with pocket full of 7.62x54 and a mosin or a shotgun, sometimes with a minimalist setup/used gear I found and did SCAV runs to get money/food/meds. I had a 12.5% survival rate at my height. Never passed level 30, got past lvl 15 two times. I am had very much enjoyed arena mode, and may come back to see this PVE mode, would be much better. PVP - I would try it again if, there is player rating system (new, low, medium, high, cheaters) so you are not matched with sweats who clean the raid, or roll in geared groups and then hackers.

[@robin123gh]

PvE brought me back to tarkov. No more over 5 minutes of loading every game, no cheaters, no sweat, all fun

[@Mr83rt]

Watching this video has made me want to jump back into EFT. Not having the time to be able to learn the maps properly let alone compete with those that do made it rather difficult to enjoy the game. Thank you for your love for the game mate... while I've not played in quite some time I always keep upto date with your videos 🫵🤘

[@sergiojimenez4595]

I stopped playing EFT because of cheating, stress and time. I have tried SP before, but I wanted it to be official. Native PvE has brought me back to this awesome game and I hope BSG focuses more on it in the future! This is the tarkov I always wanted.

[@npz1838]

For those of us with full time jobs, families, and not a lot of time, PvE is SO much fun and exactly what we wanted!

[@lesterdude999]

i go home from work. on my regular job want to play tarkov without sweating so pve is right fit for me! i salute you pvpers tho. i just cant do it haha

[@PitchBlackRoses]

I reccomend spt for people who like Pve I loved PVE and SPT is way harder including boss AI even on normal settings and its so much fun + you can play with friends with fika + Qol mods etc. Ofc first have the game bought if i recall there is even a check to make sure you arent a pirate

[@AlwayzFresh]

Dang,this would have been awesome when I played Tarkov years ago. I have not launched the game since 2022. Moving on, lil late Nikita lmfao.

[@UpToSpeedOnJaguar]

The spawn rate of scavs is enormous on most maps for seemingly no reason. On smaller maps, the moment one shouts at you, that's it. You've alerted the horde. Ground zero is especially bad for it. I average one scav kill per minute after the first one is downed. They also seem to just 'know' where you are at all times. I could be creeping 200 meters away from my last kill, and I'll still have scavs just path their way to me.

[@OOspazOO]

this makes me feel better. I'm a brand new bambi timmy and i've been trying to learn the game on PVE and focusing on learning one map at a time, but I'm getting wrecked on GZ

[@UpToSpeedOnJaguar]

@OOspazOO The AI in PvE just seem "turned up" over PvP. I have a feeling BSG knows the current iteration of PMC AI is hot garbage and increased scav spawn rate to make the map feel 'more alive'. As of right now, PMCs seem to take the same paths every raid and stay in consistent spots every time. SPT with SAIN mod is a far more genuine PvE experience at the moment. I want BSG unironically rip off SAIN, because that mod sorted the issue out long ago.

[@ParanoidJackson]

I've been playing EFT since 2017 but started playing SPT with mods about a year ago. I have yet to try EFT PVE. I laugh now because we had been asking BSG since 2018 or so for an off-line version of the game. I'm sticking with SPT until PVE catches up. Right now SPT modded is the best version of EFT for me. It's not exactly casual. Though you could mod it to be. The mods with better bot AI are amazing.

[@1970Metallica]

Reading so many comments and wish they would knew about SPT which is 100x more fun.

[@PURE_ANNA]

Love pve! Would love to go back to pvp with my new found knowledge of the game if they solve the hacker problem

[@rock444m]

You should do this for SPT.

[@ezharkonnus5649]

the future of tarkov thats what it is!

[@Anfa18]

Bosses have been around 80%+ for me in PvE so far in 40ish raids (scav and pmc). I either die to Killa (Interchange is my main), Reshala/guards or I at least hear Killa's gun going off.

[@jasonjavelin]

I have about 2500 hours in and stopped playing after the new Unheard edition was announced. The BS, cheaters, and the overall gameplay loop after 6-7 wipes with that turned me away but this might bring me back. It looks very promising

[@samuelm4021]

I swear killa is always facing my direction in PVE, I walk around corners and he’s always ready to shoot

[@Kevm1981]

The only thing that I don't know now is, what about scav runs, are they still here and is if so, do the AI PMC hunt the player scavs down? Otherwise it seems like every scav run will be survived.

[@ajbayly7756]

I love it so much, ive never been able to run a SA-58 or SR-25 cause i suck, im running the 762 SCAR atm and having a blast, so many kits i couldnt use because lvling was so hard and i got mad gear fear because of how long it took to get that stuff. Its amazing, i will never go back to PVP

[@butters_bottom_B]

Learn the weapons and movement in pve.. get guud… then have way more fun in pvp

[@ajbayly7756]

@@butters_bottom_B nope. I will stay PVE but thankyou for your opinion

[@adamlopez5060]

I was a filthy casual since 2017 putting in about 300 hours. Once pve came out, I have put in about 200 hours. It's way better than pvp for me. There's plenty to improve (boss spawn rates, scav horde defense, PMC AI just humping in a corner somewhere) but it's definitely much better than pvp for me.

[@machkaigrisho4328]

Nice explaining good job :)

[@Yourenotrealman]

Streets is and has been unplayable for weeks for my buddies and I. The lag has gotten us killed so often that we just don’t run that map and have abandoned that line. It sucks but is better dying to lag

[@Jeffery_Saulter]

I always pve streets it’s fine just download some more ram 👍

[@LethalMonarch]

from what ive seen playing it for a few hours its just a version of tarkov for much more casual players that dont care for PVP. Its nice honestly, its like Practice Mode on PVP Tarkov

[@procrastinatebrad]

As someone that vehemently despises PvP and their general hardcore communities (especially elitists/gatekeepers that generally make an active effort to kill off new player/casual-play potential), but loves all the gameplay systems Tarkov has, PvE finally lets me actually play the game with only moderate frustrations. It's a grand time despite some of the bugs and weird AI spawns/quirks that PvE seems to be experiencing.
