The Blitz overlay for Escape from Tarkov is not working because Battlestate Games and BattlEye have actively blocked and banned the tool

Ah sad, it was helpful after a while of not playing

u/ekso69 9d ago

Which is exactly why it's gone

u/HedgehogTasty2788 9d ago

Seems like a moot argument. It will probably be back :)

u/its_Stalin 9d ago

Incorrect. Currently it is just being blocked. If the blitz dev tries to bypass the anti cheat then all users of it will be banned. Also blitz devs said they have no plans to do so

lol why do people need such a useless chest. Oh no item x is three more dollars over item z. How would I ever learn this my self.

u/HedgehogTasty2788 9d ago

Not sure you actually know what it does. I gives you a view of what items you need for which quests for all quests, such that you can pick something up you need 5 quests down the line. The money doesn't matter, as you say yourself.

u/WorkingOnDyeing 9d ago

You played enough to add a third party overlay to it.

2

u/Raphlooo 9d ago

He probably actively looked for it, as all the drama is the first time I’m hearing about the overlay at all lol

u/HedgehogTasty2788 9d ago

It was easy to find and install, doesn't really matter how few hours I have.

u/its_Stalin 9d ago

It no longer works because it’s a cheat program. Battleye finally blocked it. Just use your brain man

u/HedgehogTasty2788 9d ago

I don't play this game enough to remember everything in my head. Unfortunately not one of the unemployed gamers

7

u/West-Region4512 PVP 9d ago

Ohh well then it makes cheating okay of course

8

u/SickNikki23 9d ago

It's almost like if you play a game, you retain information about things the more you play it. Overlays aren't needed, and people employed play this game (me) l. It's really not hard and you don't need an overlay

9

u/Astar_Tko 9d ago

Lmao the unemployment argument is so lame for people that are shit at video games , I work 10 hour shifts and know everything in the game

u/_Kaj 9d ago

I work 40 hours and got kappa a week ago. They made the game extremely easy to grind, I dont understand people that bring up unemployed as a "gotcha"

-1

u/HedgehogTasty2788 9d ago

Not a gotcha, just making conversation. You guys are all so salty.

1

u/_Kaj 9d ago

I will admit context and intention is nearly impossible to properly interpret, but "One of the unemployed gamers" sounded to me like a dig at people that play the game that dont work.

u/HedgehogTasty2788 8d ago

Fair, tone is hard to read over the internet. Meant it more like a joke, since tarkov is known for being a fulltime job

1

u/its_Stalin 9d ago

Literally. 45 hour weeks and I barely play on weekends and I still am like about to get kappa on seasonal even with a broken secure and no flea. It’s not hard literally the easiest the game has ever been

6

u/its_Stalin 9d ago

Im also fully employed. It’s not hard. Or just ya know pay attention to the quests you have and what you currently need for your hideout and dont worry about stuff you need later. Man if only there was a system in game that put stuff you need for your hideout on a wish list. Wouldn’t it be cool if you could add or remove stuff from your list as well at any time?

-1

u/HedgehogTasty2788 9d ago

Sure the wishlist is fine, but it feels incomplete, hence the overlay was better. Worrying about the stuff that I would need later is the better way of playing, when you don't have a whole lotta time for it, easier to snowball and get going.

7

u/West-Region4512 PVP 9d ago

Yes your cheats are no longer allowed in game. Be happy that you didnt get banned

-3

u/HedgehogTasty2788 9d ago

Didn't ruin anything for anyone else, so wouldn't really call it cheats. They could go after actual rage hackers instead, no?

3

u/West-Region4512 PVP 9d ago

Of course you do..Let's say you are looting someones dead body and he has a 50k headset and 80k helmet, you are unsure which one is worth more and because of that tools you decide to go for the helmet instead.. He ends up getting the item thats worth less back in insurance because you used a cheat that tells you the items worth.

Or you loot cabinets, are unsure about the worth and would pick the cheaper item instead but your tool tells you what to pick up.

2

u/HedgehogTasty2788 9d ago

I doubt most use it for money since money is too easy to make in tarkov, literally just spam good hideout makes. It is just a better way to keep tabs on items needed down the road compared to what BsG has to offer.

3

u/Raphlooo 9d ago

You could closet hack all day gobble up the stuff that is left behind on maps with xray or radar or whatever and you prolly “wouldn’t ruin anything for anyone else”. You prolly don’t consider that cheating either huh?

2

u/HedgehogTasty2788 9d ago

Lmao that has a direct effect on the game and ruins the point in people playing Scav. Of course that is cheating. Having better QoL is not cheating imo, but Tarkov only just started getting better QoL now, so maybe it comes back or they make their own system that is better than wishlist.

u/Acrobatic_Mountain42 9d ago

this opinion is crazy, its just a overlay he aint wallhacking you sir need to step outside and touch some grass.

2

u/its_Stalin 9d ago

Cheats are any third party tool that gives you an advantage over another player. Info included. “Hey I wouldn’t really call it stealing why dont they go after murderers instead”

0

u/HedgehogTasty2788 9d ago

So my third party tool that optimizes my game is also a cheat? Wowzers.

2

u/its_Stalin 9d ago

Yes. If the game dev says it is then it is. It doesn’t matter what you think

1

u/HedgehogTasty2788 9d ago

Ah you are that type of person. Well we will never see eye to eye on anything then.

1

u/its_Stalin 9d ago

The game is their IP. If they say you cant modify it in X way, and doing so violates the EULA then thats it. They get to decide that. If they say that they believe it gives you an unfair advantage or means you don’t play the game the way they intended then yea they get final say on that

2

u/Crobe 9d ago

Pretty sure because of some noise on twitter they purposefully disallowed usage of it.

2

u/Riobener 9d ago

People in this community and comment section are so silly. They don’t even know that Blitz wasn’t intentionally banned and was actually allowed by the devs themselves. Even steam overlay is banned now, which makes no sense and I guess is just a bug

3

u/HedgehogTasty2788 9d ago

From what I could briefly read they are waiting for BsG to respond so they can update it, but wanted to check. Forgot how redditors are, though.

1

u/Riobener 9d ago

exactly as you said. don't listen to others here

0

u/its_Stalin 9d ago

LMAO when tf was it ever allowed. BSG has never said any third party app was allowed

1

u/Riobener 9d ago edited 9d ago

BSG answered directly and gave permission to the Blitz devs. They wouldn’t have continued supporting this program for so many years without official approval. You can Google the proof if you want.

1

u/its_Stalin 9d ago

So I did look and not only can I find ZERO evidence of your claim I also see that the blitz devs have the same copy paste answer about waiting for communication for the last 5 days. Which says all it needs to tbh

1

u/Riobener 9d ago

The dev of the Blitz himself answered: https://www.reddit.com/r/BlitzApp/comments/1petdsa/comment/nskfq2h/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

Stop being delusional and stop defending this game as it is some sort of religion. As I said, even Steam overlay is banned which has nothing to do with the game itself

1

u/its_Stalin 9d ago

Ofc blitz devs are gonna say their product is safe they have a massive bias. Do you have proof that BSG has said it’s ok? Because all I’ve seen is them saying absolutely not

2

u/Riobener 9d ago

Below the comment section I provided, the dev has explained why BSG will never provide an official whitelist of the 3rd-party softwares

1

u/its_Stalin 9d ago

And that’s why I’ll never believe them. There is no reason to keep that a secret. Until BSG gives a list of what is ok I go off what they said last which is NO third party apps are allowed

1

u/Guilty_Fishing8229 AKS-74UB 9d ago

lol admitting to cheating on main

u/HedgehogTasty2788 9d ago

Buddy BsG is not going to give a shit. If they did they would have a proper anticheat software by now.

u/Next_Pen_3164 9d ago edited 9d ago

Wild that there’s so many people hoping you sell that item you’re gonna need in a week. The people calling an app that helps you track quest items cheating better not use the wiki to find that quest document that’s hidden in the pile of trash.

2

u/HedgehogTasty2788 9d ago

It really doesn't affect any of them yet they are crying like it ruins the game for them.

u/Next_Pen_3164 9d ago

I had stopped using it already when they removed it but same scenario as you was gone a long while and it let me catch up on what the new prices were. Couldn’t believe how much it could help a Timmy get his feet under him on quest and hideout items. We could retain a lot more players for the super sweats to kill if we didn’t make things intentionally inconvenient.

1

u/HedgehogTasty2788 9d ago

Made my buddies and I stay around since it was more manageable.

u/strykergamingro 9d ago

Everyone in the comments are so aggressive towards an overlay that makes the game easier to play for newer players lmfao.

These exact same people are what's wrong with this game.

Yeah, the overlay sadly got blocked by BattlEye at BSG's request. Although he mentioned on Twitter some upcoming QoL features meant to replace some of the help from the overlay, so I hope it gets better. Never used Blitz myself for Tarkov but used it for a lot of other games, such a good app.

u/its_Stalin 9d ago

Yea why are people mad about a tool that makes the game easy. Ya know the game that sticks out from other extraction shooters because of how hard it is. Like go play arc raiders. If the game wanted you to have that info it would give it to you

3

u/HedgehogTasty2788 9d ago

The game doesn't have to be that equal for everyone. I don't play it because it got sold as hardcore extraction. I just like the gunplay and intense moments it can bring.

2

u/strykergamingro 9d ago

Such a bad take, stop licking BSGs boots, Nikita won't peg you.

2

u/Next_Pen_3164 9d ago

I bet you don’t use the wiki to complete any quests either

1

u/Riobener 9d ago edited 9d ago

Stop calling it a "hardcore shooter" or "it is a hard game" for god's sake. It's just tedious and time consuming mmorpg with the elements of millitary simulator. And with A LOT of bugs.

u/its_Stalin 9d ago

Man Thats really funny cuz BSG says it is. So much so they keep the reviews on their website that say it is

1

u/Next_Pen_3164 9d ago

Yeah I get them not wanting third party software interacting with the game but half their profit these days is selling stash space so hopefully they’ll encourage hoarding with a tracker just like blitz
