ALL Known Easter Eggs and Useless Information In Escape From Tarkov... 

What useless Tarkov fact did we not cover but you know?

Actually, the Reshala's tatoo "Vozvrata net" on a face is more correctly to translate as "no way back", however "no refunds" is also gramatically correct translation

26:50 is a reference to a slavic anecdote that goes something like this: "Bear was walking through the forest. It saw a car that was on fire. It sat inside of it and burnt down with it".

1986 is a very simple detail, often the constructors in Soviet Union would make a sign of the year when they finished the construction using different colored bricks or simple ornaments. This was like a little sign of pride and you can see that practice all over post-soviet area.

Forgive me if I’m wrong, but I believe the P90 mag writing is referencing that the mag is slightly transparent meaning you’ll be able to see through later after the ammunition was used

18:32 'you can hear dogs or maybe wolves' hears the wind

26:51 A bear sitting in a car had me laughing out loud. It’s a reference to a timeless Russian joke, which sounds kind of absurd. It goes like “A bear was walking through a forest and sees a car on fire. He sat inside it and burnt to a crisp.”

As Russian, i want to say, that i wouldn't have explained everything in this video better than you. You did an awesome research)

The teddy bear in a burnt abandoned car is a reference to famous Russian anecdote. It goes like that: “A bear was walking through the forest, but then he saw a burning car. He sat in the car and burned to death”. That’s all of that)) P.S. This video is really great!! As a Russian person I really appreciate your hard-work and I really enjoyed it! Love u

i dont really know if it is one, but in the "wet job" questline youre tasked to find a yellow car on shoreline at the beach, its holder is named Artjom. I think its probably related to the Metro books, cause in in the end of the last book Metro 2035 Artjom just leaves and wanted to drive to the beach in a yellow car as far as i remember

We do have the SCAR in game. It is literally the same gun as the MK17 with a slightly shorter barrel.

17:54 could be wrong, but I think the big tube of toothpaste is a reference to the giant toothbrush from the panic room heist in Payday.

18:32 it actually believed to be SECOND item named after content creator WYCC220, first one being axe. WYCC a lot of times called "Shustrila" and they basically just changed one letter at the end.

Also, mechanic has a trade unlocked on the first level, where you can barter an awl to a bar of soap. It’s a reference for a russian phrase meaning a pointless trade. But besides that I guess this video covers most easter eggs in the game)

A couple from the hideout: The Dan Jackiel craft from vodka, chocolate and tea at the food station is likely a reference to the 90's period in Russia when counterfeiting was rampant. People were actually using various methods to color and flavor vodka and try to pass it off as some western "whiskey". The cigarette craft where you take the soviet/russian cigs and mix them with tea to produce a bunch of Wilston is probably along the same lines. The Rio de Janeiro poster on the fridge is probably a reference to a popular Russian books The Twelve Chairs and The Golden Calf in which the main character, a con man and a swindler is always dreaming of making enough money to leave (the Soviet Union) and go live in Rio de Janeiro.

The Lenin mural is almost certainly not an "Easter Egg", its probably more visual storytelling. After the coup and fall of the Soviet Union, it entered into a period called Perestroika, where essentially the country was looted by foreign capital. This includes military equipment. The mural(as well as the radar dish, since I think the region Tarkov is in is probably like, near Finland) indicate the base was most likely one that existed pre-collapse, and was maintained through the collapse. The mural tells the story of when and how the base came to be.

To add to the dev items in the games, I discovered while playing the single player tarkov mod with edited scav inventories that there is a "lucky developer Junk box" which takes up nearly the whole screen when opening it and allows all items to be placed inside of it.

I just watched „15 minutes of useless facts about GTA V” and then you release this. Thanks, EUL, love your videos!

28:30 we do have the SCAR though? Both the L and H variants.

The strykers on reserve are the dragoon variant btw, they have a 30mm cannon on them as well as a 7.62x51 M240C coax. I was on strykers my whole army career so it was wild to see the dragons in game almost immediately after the army got them not to mention by the time the reserve wipe happened there was still only a couple troops in the entire army that had them for testing

"He stepped on thumbtacks in real life to simulate being hurt" FortyOne: *steps on thumbtack* "OH, I'M FUCKED"

2:50 Actually in Russia those posters are often in public places such as schools and factories, makes sense for it to be there since our hideout is basically soviet era built civil defense shelter 9:00 TOOO SMT I POINTED OUT MOM I'M ON THE TV

One that I found that I've never seen mentioned anywhere. In the hideout bookshelf, the low-quality painting of an orange sunset (one of the middle shelves on the left) is Ivan Aivazovsky's "Golden Horn, 1872". Can be seen on 01:19 of this video.

On the red hexagonal ak handguard, the description says “Da Red Goes Fasta!”. This is a reference to The Orks in Warhammer 40k, who believe that painting things or vehicles confer certain benefits i.e. red objects go quicker because they are red, and the phrasing of it in the description is similar to how they speak

Ledx IRL:”not rare nor expensive” Proceeds to show a ledx that costs $599

the bear in a burnt car is a reference to a classic russian joke: A bear went through the forest. Then he saw a burning car. He got inside and burnt out.

I remember the days the GP-25 was in the game if im not mistaken it got removed because back then anytime it was fired it caused everyones game in the server to crash

What a dedication! As a russian I’m overwhelmingly impressed how accurate your explanations are, great job! I literally saw no one pointing out chess-side aspect in “cheeki breeki i v damkee” verse, despite the fact it’s an origin as well as Stalker game voiceovers (which everyone stuck with) PS: 1986 almost everytime refers to a year in which Chernobyl bamboozled (due to a HUGE role of Stalker game in a community, especially Tarkov) Anyways, thank you so much for putting such a lot of accuracy in that video, comrade :Ъ

At 18:01, also mention that the Tarkovskaya vodka seems to be modeled after the real Stolichnaya Vodka.

5:07 Maria Skłodowska-Curie is not Russian but Polish, might make some people mad to hear she is Russian. Also as far as I know she is not related to nuclear/quantum physics research, tho I have to admit, she was related to radiation and chemistry.

22:38 the green book is "The Shepherd's Life: A Tale of the Lake District" by James Rebanks, one previous pile also had another James Rebanks book but couldn't figure that one out as I didn't see a cover like that on his books.

one of the amored vehicles that can be found in EFT is the T90A tank. There are also other models in various locations that are T72 variants and T80 variants. One is on customs nears RUAF gates; Another can be found on Resort near the Scav camp and downed drone quest area.

Not only the Barn its like the Contract Wars one in woods, all the sorrounding area its the map Sawmill from Contract

Awesome video, thanks! I don't really play Tarkov, but I'm russian, and I noticed that there are a lot of hilarious and ironic stuff written in Russian in this game, especially on advertisements, It'd be really cool if somebody did a video explaining all of them, but I can see that a video like that won't do very vell, so yeah, just wanted to point that out. For example, on 4:38 the left ad says "ultrashopping 24/7! Best discounts at night!", and the right ad says "9G waits for those, who DON'T WAIT (don't like to wait is also a variant) in our new tariff pustozvon! (pustozvon is like a chatterbox, in russian word literally means someone who calls for nothing or has nothing of value to say)

Is this a re-upload? We have the SCAR

I have a pelican vault pistol case that I actually use as a tackle box. Man, that thing is massive

3:29 I'm a live statement that you can run Tarkov with a 750ti You just need 16 gigs of ram

If you're doing any type of easter egg of audio, especially the faint dog in the distance. Dont play music over it, defeats the whole purpose of even having it in.

You know what's funny. (I just bought the game like 3 days ago it's amazing) 4:18 I remembered that scene from BattleField 3 when I saw this place in offline mode. Felt the homage but couldn't put my finger on it at the time. I never noticed the dinosaur I kept moving unto the left of the room.

27:15 this shed brought so many good memories to me in this exact moment lol

27:50 maybe someone pointed this out but we still dont have that helmet camo pattern in game

30 minutes of secrets in a game I've never played oh boy I know what I'm doing for the next 30 minutes

You've actually got so quality stuff on your channel. Keep that up man!

This is all really cool, can’t wait for more tarkov lore to come out!

great vid! but laughed at 12:10 - "you can faintly hear this" proceeds to play music over it 😄

Great video! Liked and subbed. Keep it up man!

Amazing effort ! Thanks you for that!

26:38 this is a reference to the absurdly built toilet rooms for the Olympians when the olympics was in Sochi, Russia. This was a real room and wasn't the worst either lol

21:44 would be cool, if they added radiation suits from the backrooms haha

About the chair glued to roof - its a irish urban legend. There was a chair in irish pub, which belongs to one customer, on his last visit before death he cursed the chair. Everyone who sit on it, dies days later. ;)

Awesome video! I really learned a lot lol

Really great Video. Thanks man.

The wooden signs at the gas stations is also a reference to The Walking Dead's pilot episode where Rick goes to a gas station and finds a sign that says "No gas" or "No fuel" or something like that.

2:48 "how fallout can reach your house" Usually while held at gunpoint by Todd Howard

The new lab background in Tarkov has writing on the camera "BigBrother" This is a reference to the both the leader and one of the main idea's of the book that you are always being watched. The book is 1984 wrote in 1949 about how the future would become an extremely authoritarian world with no secretes, opposing ideas/ideologies, etc.. I didn't notice this easter egg since pretty recently.

I guess the 1986 on the factory structures could be a reference to Chernobyl but most factories (specifically the smokestacks) had the date when the factory was commissioned on them. In eastern Germany I’ve seen one that was painted 1958.

you were almost correct on the P90 mag. "This will be transparent later" is a reference to you can tell when the mag is empty because it is see through. You can see how full it is with a quick glance. It basically means, "this will be mag dumped"

Looks to me that notes on computers say R2026 not 2028. Which means: Release in 2026 :-)

the "damn...i'm fucked" sounds so real when you step on the thumbtacks lmao

The "Contract Wars" barn isnt just a refference...that entire area is straight FROM CW

In reference to the pronunciation of “Glukhar”, the “kh” is often used to try and represent the Russian letter “х” which sounds like an H from the back of your throat. It’s not “Glookar”, it’s more like “Gluhharr”, the H almost sounding as if you’re trying to mimic a cat hissing.

to fill in a bit of lore. when you mentioned the nuclear researchers on labs. Its theorized that terragroup was trying to make a giant nuke .

I picked up one of those AFAKs not long ago, it’s pretty inclusive but I would recommend adding some quick clot and Israeli bandages

13:46 okay, that's hilariously petty, i love it

19:32 the thing about MRE's is the crackers are always SOOOO dry and when we were in the army we'd have challenges on who can eat the whole pack of crackers (2 whole crackers usually) in two minutes.... long story short after the first minute your jaw is hurting, your mouth is so dry and you can barely swallow... the fact that all you pull out is the crackers and eat just that could be a reference to this fact that no one could really eat those damn crackers in under like 10 seconds xD

At the Old Sawmill on Woods the building that you put in your video called "4-7", sometimes you can hear in main menu OST the voiceline "Полсотни первый, ваша цель 3-2"(Pol sotni perviy, vasha tsel' tri-dva) it is the second building on this spot, that references to Contract Wars of course I played that browser game for about 2500 hours and i remember that Tarkov in 2013 was "Russia 2028"

4:35 text is saying “Waiting for those who are not waiting Worthless caller” pretty sure makes fun of all these services which are actually useless

Tom Hardy being the photo for Charisma is a fine example of how realistic the game can be lol.

I've gotten those FLIR SV-98s a few times since I got 6.0 scav Kharma, I also spawn with a labs access card every other raid, sometimes back to back..

Just got to your video on my first wipe, just wanted to add my 2 cents if there is ever another. VHS tape item has a full description of "A VHS video cassette with a 1990s action movie about a killer cyborg from the future" It is, of course, a reference to Terminator, however the Easter Egg is the fact that its not a parody, but straight reference. First translation of Terminator in Soviet Union was dubbed "Killer Cyborg". It was actually dubbed by the same person who translated "Blood and Concrete" copypasta scavs are screaming sometimes, Andrey Gavrilov. He was a big part of a lot of people's childhoods, cause he was one of the only translators who worked with movies and he also voiced all the characters in them, so Soviet Union and later Russia even had a name for movies like that, "odnogolosye", meaning "single voice" movies.

YES! I want to see more of that kind of video.

I’ve seen this video before but it was released two hours ago? Wtf lol

23:00 "No fuel" is a refrence to The Walking Dead s1 ep1 where Rick Goes to a gas station and the wooden sign reads "No Gas"

Actually hoping you'll be able to unlock permanent clothing for your SCAV with higher karma, similar to how you buy them for the PMC via Ragman. Maybe if you reach 6.0 karma you could buy Shturman's Coat for your Scav.

Also by the minute 9:00 when he is talking about Glukhar (Глухарь) It’s an actually reference to very very popular old russian TV show about the cop, who’s surname was Glukharev, so everyone called him Glukhar.

"I got a bad feeling about this" I thought that was a call back to tropic thunder 🤣😊

Can’t forget the dark souls reference on the beach of lighthouse with the pole sticking out of the fire

Can't believe Forty One actually stepped on thumbtacks to express pain naturally. Chad

they should make it so that sanitar carries a bonesaw as a melee that u can loot and use aswell

Regarding the lube named after FireClean, the art work for the item is of an actual gun lube brand known for high performance by the name of Slip 2000.

20:20 I believe that the GPhone is almost an identical copy of the old iPhone 4 model and not one of the iPhone 5, 7 or 8 based on the location of the front facing cam, big charging port below and no side button to unlock.

When i walked into the room with the dino, camera and green screen i was thinking of battlefield funny.

Dont know if it was mentioned before but on Lighthouse where the 2 cabins on the seaside are located there is a fireplace which highly looks like a fireplace in darksouls.

26:41 two toilets facing each other, might be reference to scandals in Sochi Olympic town, it was built with such haste that these kinda hilarious mistakes were left due to lack of time, it even made into the news back then😂

Numbers such as 1986 usually refer to the year of construction. They did so in Soviet Union for some reason.

I don't know if it's a new addition but there's a m1128 mobile gun system Stryker right outside the bridge to lighthouse . The weapon system is a 105mm cannon and if they fire the weapon pointed either right or left it causes the vehicle to seriously rock back and forth

Actually Gluhar translates as capercaillie, which is a bird thats actually deaf during certain period of time, but also his name could be reference to a russian tv show named Gluhar about cops.

My dude hides taunting messages as Easter eggs 😂 Legend

It's really a shame that we don't have the SCAR in the game yet

I remeber posting on reddit about the band names in customs way back in the day, was a nice Easter egg to stumble upon

I got the waist bag from my scav case, unfortunate that it doesnt show on your pmc and that it cant be sold

My dad has a shelf of books with crazy names and All My Friends are Dead as well as All My Friends Are Still Dead are 2 of his favorite books on it.

I always thought that the USEC looked like Travis Fimmel thanks for confirming that.

Nice video, never noticed the Batman on Reserve

On the road between the gas station and the beach on shoreline there is a bus station with an advertisement for a concert that's happening. On said ad board there is a working QR code for an event page on Russian Facebook variant VK which happened in 2014 in St Petersburg. I've not seen anyone else mention or even talk about this little Easter egg. And there's no Tarkov related chat on the event page either.

The camera in the background of the main screen says,"big brother" a reference to the book's 1984 qoute,"big brother is watching You"

the camera on the main menu a is made by "big brother", a reference to the distopic book "1984" of george orwel

Ah cool, I got that rare SV98/FLIR Combo on my scav a couple weeks ago.

28:35 the scar is in the game since the wipe around x-mas 2021 in the 7.62x51 and 5.56x45 version

With reference to 'Blyat Man', FairTx made a Tarkov series where 'Blyat Man' would go out into the Tarkov world and spit on his enemies, it could be in reference to that. Uncertain whether that item was there before or after he made the series, might be worth looking into!
