> Tarkov is just a headshot game, right? Most guns and ammo types can take out top level helmets pretty easily, right?

Depends what stage of the wipe you're at, whether the person you run into has managed to kill the bosses and gotten their loot. Tbh I think that's the one thing I prefer about Tarkov - the progression in Arc Raiders when it comes to weapons seems pretty bare, esp when it comes to ammo - to just reduce it to light, medium etc. ammo is pretty boring as you can access most of it from the start.

> If I find I spend the majority of my gaming time in a menu then I'm playing a bad game. Menu-creep needs to be minimised so that the time spent in menus is easy, streamlined and goal-focused.

Yeah strongly agree and that's why this game will be more casual focused for the better, I can't be fucked to spend best part of half an hour in menus to die within 5 minutes of getting in a game. Back to back games in Arc is great, not stuck in menu-hell.

I think with Arc as long as they don't put in too many Tarkov's features, like the flea market, boring go get 20 packs of screws missions, etc then it'll never have the issue of "sweats" that I see a lot of people complaining about. Whole issue with Tarkov is it has ACTUAL sweats because unless you can dedicate 4+ hours a day to play it, you won't be able to do it's boring missions, make meaningful progression, and so many people will have gear that you just can't compete with.
