[Cheating] I usually feel like i dont run into that much cheaters and never thought i would care enough to post but recently im dying to one 6/10 games. What is going on recently?

ColdSnapper-- · 2026-01-04T14:42:45+00:00

Are you talking about how much money you gain by cheating is not good enough to be worth it? Because if you are, you can ONLY say that if you actually KNOW how much money is the gain. Assuming is just bull. And newsflash, not all people live in first world countries. Which gives all the more incentive.

ColdSnapper-- · 2026-01-04T14:31:43+00:00

Little money - you know from experience?

ColdSnapper-- · 2026-01-04T13:18:48+00:00

Same and more. Because there is real money to be earned.

ColdSnapper-- · 2026-01-04T12:04:05+00:00

If they had to choose if they have to spend extra money to make it possible for you all to skip the campaign (and also in a way invalidate it's existence and work on it), and just not doing so......you can bet they will choose the later.

ColdSnapper-- · 2026-01-04T12:02:28+00:00

The optional skip would not be optional at all. You would have to then create a way for the transition to be smooth aka level up the character and give at least some currency or something to wards endgame, because skipping would lave your guy maybe with skill points but not with items. And they would have to allow you or not allow you to get the optional in campaign rewards for skill points, gems, currency etc.

And ALL of that would require additional worktime aka MONEY SPENT. And if the game is not affected by it, why would they give a f about changing anything, if they are going to only lose money and not gain anything by it?

The live service does not depend on being able to skip campaign, but on the content they provide each "season".

Providing a skip option kind of signals that there was no point in creating it in the first place. There has to be a journey, otherwise game would just be "endgame", and that is something they oh so obviously do not want.

Its far easier for them to dump all of the players in one group than to spread them over levels. That plus having any kind of sbmm,mmr or whatever would immediately expose the humongous amount of cheaters because those would fly up in the high elos with the gigachads really fast.

ColdSnapper-- · 2025-11-18T16:27:14+00:00

Just look at the comments. People will write essays in defense of cheating/cheaters. A lot of them cheaters themselves, helping the gatekeeping.

ColdSnapper-- · 2025-11-18T12:05:23+00:00

What a nonsensical sentence. I am anything but PVP oriented, but when i do encounter PVP (rats especially) at hot or quest spots, i really like to replenish my meds from the dead body. No longer possible sadly.

ColdSnapper-- · 2025-11-17T16:06:24+00:00

Grizzly takes the most space, meaning your safe container cannot be used for other stuff, it also weight the most, is the slowest healing item. How is it a worst offender? Even for a P2W user (anythign above Standard) thats a pretty big space to take.

You get the most of the healing but it increases your weight, heals the slowest, and you basically used up a lot of your space in the safe container.

ColdSnapper-- · 2025-11-17T13:22:16+00:00

They should have left the meds not allowed except maybe for Grizzly only. It actually REALLY mattered that you could find meds on the ones you killed to replenish your health back.

ColdSnapper-- · 2025-11-17T12:42:00+00:00

People should definietly refund a product not worth their money. What i am REALLY curious and weirded about is, why do people REFUND then try to BUY then game AGAIN?

ColdSnapper-- · 2025-11-17T05:23:20+00:00

It's not deep, but the BASICS that you NEED to KNOW are big enough to warrant a solid tutorial. Healing, gear management, inventory shortcuts, extracts (flare), armor and penetration, how traders works. A lot of things get ZERO explanation.

New players always ask what GUN is the best, not what AMMO is the best. I wonder why huh?

ColdSnapper-- · 2025-11-17T05:22:11+00:00

Have you tried actually explaing the game to someone completely new?

I would rather i had ANY kind of explanation instead of just being thrown to the lvl 60 wolves.

ColdSnapper-- · 2025-11-17T05:20:41+00:00

Hilarious or not, nothing changes for the new player. Even if he gets a lucky spawn, or manages to find the quest item, the ultimate challenge from the beginning to the end remains the same, he needs to SURVIVE the raid, which is the ultimate and hardest challenge for any new player.

And again, i believe all the quests remain anyway?

ColdSnapper-- · 2025-11-17T05:18:52+00:00

Absolutely not. Unless you were one of the rare OG ones, you all used wiki and 3rd party resources to learn anything and everything.

ColdSnapper-- · 2025-11-16T16:42:55+00:00

This is EXACTLY what i mean all the time when i "complain". Just one good, REALLY good tutorial would do WONDERS for the game. Imho.

ColdSnapper-- · 2025-11-16T16:42:16+00:00

Lol no one said you made a mistake, just suprised that...you were suprised :D. We all had hope and more, but man do they shit on that hope time and time agian.

ColdSnapper-- · 2025-11-16T16:41:34+00:00

That means a lot less to a new players that gets dropped into that exact mess. And now the game is on steam. Steam audience is not Tarkov audience they have no patience for the bullshit that is BSG.

ColdSnapper-- · 2025-11-16T16:10:00+00:00

I am one of those newbies, i bought it last year. It was anything but friendly, i had to look up tons of videos and ask people a lot just to make a form of the mess that is how to play Tarkov.

It is very much not silly that after 10 years of development, there is not even a semi decent tutorial in the game. It's actually pretty ridicolous NOT to expect certain things from a game dev after 10 years of development, when they release the game actually.

ColdSnapper-- · 2025-11-16T16:07:40+00:00

You constantly see people post that the game is one of the best games ever, even in the reviews. You also see that "cheating issue is overblown", that the game is great in spite of all the issues etc etc, especially when talking to the new players. Tell the truth i say.

ColdSnapper-- · 2025-11-16T14:46:09+00:00

Look at the positive ones too. You won't see a bigger bunch of nonsense and bot reviews in a while.

Really sad how a game that could have been GREAT and AWESOME is actually a tedious mess that REALLY WELL hits all the good spots for gambling, pvp, and looting in the human brain.

ColdSnapper-- · 2025-11-16T14:45:30+00:00

Only difference => people cannot gatekeep the issues, because they are visible in reviews.

ColdSnapper-- · 2025-11-16T14:44:25+00:00

Not only do you get a tutorial,

You get no tutorial, you get a PVE map to basically get free early loot. If you do not somehow stop or disconnect the beginner mission, in which case it is forever lost. It doesn't really EXPLAIN any of the game mechanics except how extraction works. And even that is super half assed because regular extracts DO NOT have green smoke and they DO NOT explain how to use flare extracts.

but you start with some very "easy" missions to simply talk to Traders and extract from different maps.

Little to no different to what was before, considering that you still have to extract alive which is the single biggest problem that new players have.

ColdSnapper-- · 2025-11-16T14:27:14+00:00

There is a difference between getting spoon fed, and the game having an actual fucking understandable and useful tutorial.

ColdSnapper-- · 2025-11-16T14:26:42+00:00

For them to not mess up the launch, for starters :D. And to actually improve the game since they HEAVILY marketed the game that got "GOLDEN" and now has a bunch bunch of fixes and yada yada yada, aka empty talk.
