Escape from Tarkov

Escape from Tarkov is a multiplayer tactical first-person shooter video game in development by Battlestate Games for Windows. The game is set in the fictional Norvinsk region in northwestern Russia, where a war is taking place between two private military companies (United Security "USEC" and the Battle Encounter Assault Regiment "BEAR"). Players join matches called "raids" in which they fight other players and bots for loot and aim to survive and escape. Gameplay The developers of Escape from Tarkov refer to the game as a realistic and hardcore first-person shooter, survival video game that borrows elements from massively multiplayer online games. In its current state, Escape from Tarkov incorporates three different modes for the players to play: online PMC raids, Scav (short for "scavenger") raids, and a temporary offline mode. In these raids, players can choose to play solo or in groups and spawn on one side of a variety of maps to choose from in the game. Once in-game, the players are given an extraction point on the other side of the map, and must fight against other players and non-player characters to reach that point in order to escape. In addition to these standard extractions, players are also given the opportunity to use other extraction points near the middle of the map, but must meet various requirements depending on the specific extract. In addition to combat, players can also find loot such as firearms, equipment, and armor. Once extracted, can store their loot in a stash to use in future raids or sell it to other players in a virtual flea market. When players die in a raid, they lose everything, including loot and the equipment they brought into the raid. Players can insure weapons and equipment they brought in which enables that gear to be returned to them if not taken by other players or bots. In scavenger raids, players are given a random set of equipment, instead of items from their personal stash, and enter a raid that is already in progress at a random location. After finishing a scavenger raid, there is a cooldown timer until the mode becomes available again for the player. Each raid lasts between 15 and 45 minutes depending on the map, and may contain up to 14 players. While not in a raid, players can sell unwanted loot to traders or other players via the flea market and purchase new equipment.
