Escape from Tarkov is admittedly a pretty hard game to describe exactly. Escape from Tarkov would probably be best described as a first-person survival MMO-like game. Additionally, the game has some elements of battle royale and PVP injected into it as well. Needless to say, it’s a game that’s a bit complicated to describe without seeing or playing it for rones

On the other hand, this interview is from 2016 and the statement was never been corrected by anyone at Battlestate Games until pressed for comment recently. Since there are still only men as playable characters in the game, one could easily lean towards there being truth to the initial comments made by Dyatlov as representative of the studio’s mental

In Ubisoft's case, former animator Jonathan Cooper weighed in to disagree, informing fans that adding female animations should really only take a couple of extra days of production; funnily enough, Ubisoft's next game Assassin's Creed Syndicate featured the female PC, Evie Frye. Battlestate hasn't immediately commented on its own decision, but given that the old "too much work" excuse doesn't seem to work as well these days, perhaps the company will also take a cue from those who have been in their position bef

The main gameplay loop of Tarkov comes from the standard PMC survival mode. In this mode, players choose their main character called a PMC. Then, players load that character with any loot their want to bring into a ‘raid,’ and are then deployed onto one of seven maps currently in the game. One they’ve dropped, players must find more loot within the maps and make it to one of several extraction points to clear the raid and keep what they’ve found. The catch is: if a player dies before extraction all of the loot on them is permanently l

Russian studio Battlestate Games is in hot water today following the resurfacing of an interview with one of its developers from 2016 and accusations of sexism in the development of Escape From Tarkov . In an interview with Alessio Palumbo at WCCF Tech , developer Pavel Dyatlov spoke about the game and its features, playstyle, platform release plans, and towards the end of the interview, the absence of wo

In recent days, that game is Escape from Tarkov . For those who may not know, Escape from Tarkov mods|https://Tarkovescapezone.com/ from Tarkov could be described as a first-person survival MMO-like game with some elements of battle royale and PVP mixed in. Additionally, the game also has story and quest-based content to experience. One NPC in particular is an unlockable vendor named Jaeger, who has a series of helpful quests tied to

It can be tempting in this game to go in with the bare essentials to avoid losing too many of your items, but you should absolutely break this rule when it comes to Painkillers. When your body parts start going black Painkillers are a quick way to negate the side effects temporarily. Having the ability to run or stop coughing is crucial to survi

The message from Jaeger will be underneath the deer stand on the ground. This message can be pretty hard to notice, but it should be an object that players can pick up. After that, players will need to survive the raid and extract successfully. Now that that’s finished, players simply need to take the message back to Mechanic, hand it over, and they will have unlocked Jae

Whether or not that--along with the company's reasoning for denying female PCs--is actually true has been called into question, however, given that Escape From Tarkov does actually have women in it. They're present as NPCs, and given that the game's main factions are military-based, it would stand to reason that women might be involved in that. Plus, it's not as though women haven't been prominent members of the Russian military for decades, and even though the game's Russia is technically fictional, its "lore" would still reflect that of the real Russia. Then there's the fact that Battlestate isn't the first company to say that adding female characters is too much work; Ubisoft famously said the same in 2014 when discussing Assassin's Creed: Unity 's online mode and Far Cry 4 's director said it again later that y

Over Twitter, Battlestate recently responded to queries over whether or not Escape From Tarkov would get female PCs with a definitive no, writing that playable female characters wouldn't fit the "game lore," and adding that the "huge amount of work" it would take to add in extra animations and gear fitting eliminates the possibility. The game has been growing in popularity recently due to Twitch streamers broadcasting their gameplay, and the heavier spotlight led to Battlestate's female character comments from 2016 being uneart

Battlestate Games concluded its Tweets by stating that the employee was reprimanded and properly instructed, apologizing for any confusion this might have caused. Whether or not this will be enough in terms of damage control is yet to be seen, but initial reactions to the statements seem negative overEscape From Tarkov Interchange Map Guide
