Escape from Tarkov

Escape from Tarkov for PC is a tactical first-person shooter set in the fictional region of Norvinsk, Russia, around a transition zone between Russia and Europe that serves as a gateway for trade and business. However, the temptation proved too much for nefarious organizations seeking to cash in any way possible, and the area erupted in a close conflict between Russian forces, UN peacekeepers, and two independent PMCs (private military companies).

These are: United Security (known as USEC) and BEAR. USEC was hired by the corrupt organization Terra, which was responsible for much of the turmoil, while BEAR is their opposition, hired by Russian authorities to investigate Terra and their nefarious actions.

Game Information

The premise is very simple: when you enter the game, your character finds himself in the forest or a similar location, on the edge of the map. Your job is to shoot, play, and explore your way across the map until you reach the extraction point, usually on the other side of town, and with a lot of excitement on the way there!

At the start, you're only armed with an axe and must either quickly defeat someone else to get their loot (unlikely the other one has a gun and you don't) or start exploring and find a working gun as soon as possible.

There's no heads-up display for this game: if you want to check your inventory, you have to do it manually, for example by counting the bullets remaining in your gun. Oddly enough, this makes it more exciting as you become increasingly aware of what you have with you at all times, and the countdown of your shots in the middle of a battle makes you exquisitely aware of every danger lurking around every corner.

A rich booty: but choose carefully!

The terrain is practically littered with valuable loot, from cell phones to cigarettes, cash, and even weapons, and it's all there for players to use. However, be careful what you collect: it's all valuable, but the more time you spend on buildings and neighborhoods, the longer it will take you to reach the extraction point.

Additionally, the game offers a good chance for other players to run into you and take you out, which will automatically cause you to lose all your collected items! It's best to load up on as many high-value items as you can collect in a minute or two, and then complete the course as quickly as possible.

Of course, you can always hang around for a while, tempting other players to collect loot, and then eliminating them as they head towards your bait. This way, you'll get their loot to add to yours. A couple of well-timed skirmishes could net you more loot than you could have collected in four rounds!

Armed

Weapons range from basic and almost primitive tactical gear to high-end ones:

Axes: These are your starting point; Knives: A good way to sneak up on enemies and kill them silently, without being heard by their teammates; Pistols and shotguns: Low-end pistols that will easily keep you ahead of the enemy, unless the enemy has smaller and larger pistols; Rifles: Powerful, targeted weapons that allow players to rob you from afar. Getting your hands on one of these is a blessing and a curse: you're powerful, but you attract a lot of envious attention.
