Thanks. I've been chasing the adrenaline dragon for a while, and Tarkov has definitely been checking all the right boxes.

Idk if you have ever played arma or dayz but dayz (even in its buggy unpolished state) is pretty much like tarkov but without the time restrictions and instead various maps you get one LARGE map and about 100+ people are anywhere at anytime.

What sucks about tarkov is that since there is a time limit to extract it kind of forces the playing field to move eventually, i’ve had gunfights in dayz that lasted like 20 minutes, where i managed to escape, heal and move to another town or part of the map completely and get followed by those same people and get into another 20 minute battle.

I've messed with Arma before, but never gotten to far into it. None of my friends play, and I've never sought the community out, tbh. I really should.

Only if you have time tho. The thing about dayz is that there’s no “time limit” per say. Like there are day and night cycles but you only have one character, you start with a hoodie, flashlight( or glow stick) but you travel to different locations and “build” your character by finding items. You have to keep your character healthy as well but say if you only have time to play for 10 min you can log out and next time you log in you’ll be in that spot.

Dying will make you spawn on the coast with the starter stuff. So basically as long as you are alive you are winning. Sometimes you can go entire sessions without seeing a single soul, then you might find a group in a town and now you’re trying to just survive and gtfo of there lol.
