Cheater Ban Compensation, PVE Updates, & New QUESTS! - Tarkov Patch! 

The wishlist are exciting. I routinely look at what I need for hideout, then load into a raid and immediately forget all my goals in favor of greed.

Love that BSG is slowly going through SPTarkov mods and implementing them into PVE, hope they put in more configuration options too.

Quality of life upgrades and surveys? Seems like Arena Breakout had a good influence.

The scavs backpacks are full of loot now! even in pvp

On certain maps they kind of killed PVE with this update. Most people were complaining that the PMC AIs shouldn't teaming up with the scavs since they can be a bit too cracked, along with the fast respawn rate. Now the moment you shoot one they all know where you are. Worse still, in maps like interchange, you can't loot bodies since the respawn rate is so quick, I had a fight outside Kiba and I didn't have the time to even loot dogtags, let alone repack my mags and fix my blacked out arm. I had to leave after using 360 rounds of ammo on my M4 (+30 scav kills, 7 PMCs) all the while dealing with the drop in fps, mine was 30fps in the middle of interchange, down from 60ish. The intense fights are nice, but the respawn rate needs to be toned way down. they shouldn't be respawning mid/end of fights.

I kazammed all over the place for these patch notes!

You skipped right over the little bit about how the AI PMCs now set up an ambush after arriving at and looting their destination......that's gonna be wild.

Wishlist has been GAME CHANGING. I'm new to the game and am constantly forgetting what I actually need for the hideout or useful barters

Seeing the more checkmarks mod added to live is awesome. Huge QOL feature

the tagging items is huge been wanting that for a very long time. havent played in years thou.

hell yeah jesse

Some good stuff on new patch

Just got ambushed by two PMC bots in PvE in Shoreline/Village. They entered through a back door, went up stairs and waited for me. One tapped me through my seeing holes. Thanks BSG! lol

You mean the bolt-actions got a 'recoil buff', not a 'recoil nerf'. The recoil was reduced, therefore this is a buff.

8:39 That DVL is way smoother than before!!! :D In the past, your target would not be visible in the scope after a shot!

Honestly being able to mark items you need is massive like huge time saver wow that's huge

Wow. What @Spideryote just mentioned; so BSG are basically adding features to EFT that were first added by modders for SPT-AKI. The 'wishlist' is basically the 'More Checkmarks' mod available for SPT that tags an item so you know when you find it in raid, it's something you want / need and know to pick it up. Also, the Scavs looting now is the same as the 'Looting Bots' SPT mod.

Just had a major bug. I have a ton of stuff in my stash insured as I feel most people do. Went into first raid of the patch. Died to Tagilla in factory. Go back to my stash, all my insured items are now no longer insured....

PMCs in PvE are alot more aggressive and like to rush alot. Scavs still seem to group up like prepatch though

Jesse. Thank you for just being straight forward with these reports! Love this stuff

Noticed the Wishlist things - pretty cool. But those tasks are HUGE for casual players... I will never be finishing them - not a chance.

I do PVP, but have notice AI scav on newer locations

Rip my pve brother

thank god its on the servers for streets cuz if i do an offline on streets it just stutters so bad

BSG is clearly looking at SPTarkov mods for inspiration. Good.

Anyone speculate when PVE will be purchasable for every version?

Fought 2 groups of pmcs with my buddy on streets today. Damn it was a wild ride. They pushed , and cornered us. Still a bit stupid but a lot more unpredictable, which is a good thing.

I love those shirts hahaha

I hope they have systems in place to punish or blacklist people from the reporting system if they report just everyone they die to, hoping to farm report rewards by also randomly reporting actual cheaters

Talks about wanting the AI changes in PVP, refuses to read the next line that says "In future updates, the necessary mechanics will be moved to PVP mode"

Says under the PvE changes that necessary improvements will be implemented to PvP mode.

So basically this year has been spent adding features to make the game more like SPT...

The wishlist being on the very left and on top of the list is quite annoying. Hopefully they change it, or let us change where the button goes. Because right now every button is in the wrong spot when I try to click on shit. Also, adding FOMO quests 1month before wipe lmao.

Focusing on hardware banning and banning cheaters quicker would be a great quality of life improvement. But it’s $$$$$$ for BSG.

Petition to move the wishlist near the bottom of the list instead of the top! I keep missclicking it trying to inspect things haha

Really hope that they will optimize the game. -40 fps while scoping from my 60 fps.

What is the point of reducing recoil of bolt actions? You still have to wait to cycle the bolt. By the time you're done doing that the recoil is long over.

Some good changes for sure. Still wish the AI PMCs didn't spawn with broken ass guns. Stuff at around 50 max durability is absolutely laughable.

Good patch. Saw a lot of bugs and the PMC's are a little scuffed in PvE right now, but the PMC's AI is definitely more aggressive and less predictable. Haven't really seen the AI move from POI to POI, but they do seem to patrol somewhat instead of just standing on the pier on Shoreline wanting to be shot in the face.

PVE 100% feels more like your fighting real players. Of course I seen AI still be stupid but its much better now

My pc usually takes 2+ minutes for loading loot alone. PVE solo took me at max 40 seconds for EVERYTHING

The "PMC" AI is feeling way more realistic in PvE indeed.

I ran a quick PVE raid to tryout the new locally hosted server, felt super good and didn't have any issues with stability. Also the wishlists for hideout was super nice to see, huge QOL feature.

I'm afraid Bsg will get drowned in cheater reports when everyone reports literally everyone for that chance at loot in case you were killed by a cheater and didn't even know it xDD Who am I kidding, that is already how it is lmao xD

Fixing bodies, does that mean no more rag dolling?

feeling ok jesse? you sounding a bit congested

Did this patch mess with Cultist AI/spawns? Because, I've been trying to get Hell on Earth Pt. 2 done and I can't for the life of me find any damned Cultists....

The new ai in pve I have seen are crazy with the scavs once you drop one they start swarming like terminids and it’s not to kill you it’s to get the loot so you can rat the scavs 😂

Why not just implement the spt element where it automstically tells you what the item is needed for rather than making you create a wishlist

it's too bad they added this stuff after they fumbled the unheard edition, and the fact I still encounter cheaters every other raid

Why he says that everyone will be running scopes like if it was a bad thing? Dude this is a fucking shooter videogame

The local hosting change to PVE is not good at all tbh, it KILLS your fps just like running an offline raid would. We definitely need a way to disable it if your computer cant handle that load

I hope those report rewards will include past ones, ive been collecting successfull reports for awhile

How did it take so long for cheater compensation, in a looter shooter dominated by cheaters!?

hearing nerf im all for

they made the pmc ai broken, triple head tapped from across lumber but a pmc hiding in the trees that i couldn't see on woods by sa-58 m80 ammo. i stopped playing pvp because of this and now the ai aim bot you anyway.

Nice

still no gp coins for pve. thats cool

Yep, community forgot and went back to normal. BSG makes one of the biggest scams in gaming, and community went back like nothing happened

6:17 Oh BSG...Never change...no one likes RNG quests

Compensation? Just like The Cycle… proves they can not or will NOT compete with cheaters anymore. R.I.P. Tarkov. Welp whats the next big extraction coming out? Lmao

Cheaters at labs cleans out raid. Labs isnt playable

Now we can extract camp against ai? 👀 let the ai loot for us now 😂

Cheater compensation should have been common sense from the start. It better be 5mil roubles at least with how much time it takes to do a raid. Not everyone has 2-3 hours to play every day like most of these degenerate losers.

we gotta spam the survery system with: Fix the directional Audio to make this game playable. Btw I find it so funny that the audio is the worst on like every high PvP place in this game

So they got the base code of the modes for SPT. Aka the "Questing Bots and Looting Bots mods.

Why don't they just make the ai scavs so that they can see through bushes and know exactly where you are , throw nades that land at your feet so you have no time to react , give them aimbots that get through the cacks in your armor ..that way no one will care about the cheaters .. oh the ai scavs are already like this , never mind

In pve the scavs come runing after they hear shots or yell . It like a wave of them you should try it first in offline pve before you jump in a pve match

PVE yack

Nobody trusts bsg anymore, and you can check streaming views have dropped by atleast half since the unheard fiasco, honestly I don’t know how streamers still make a living out of these games….

Nobody trusts bsg anymore!!!! Nobody that’s left that is!

So instead of cheaters stealing the loot we have Ai raider aimbotting pmc's setting up ambushes stealing the loot.. interesting. Might as well let the cheaters play. I dont mind the Ai roaming, or even the ambushes, but the loot being slurped up by the Ai is just terrible. Now they will even extract off the map when they have enough too.. So you just miss out all together. I suppose its time to extract camp PVE mode so the Ai can't take the loot out. Not sure Im a fan of this at all. If they loot the items and remain in game to fight then I am ok with it. They are already perfect shots with SUPER enhanced visibility range that can laser beam you 150m out with pst. They shouldn't be leaving the game with valuable loot.

Does this mean you are better off reporting everyone just on the off chance they are cheating or will get banned some time in the future?

So they copied they SPT mods and put them in the game. Totally didn't see that coming at all /s. The reason why they have to use servers for streets is because of client performance problems.

I haven't gotten two of the three new quests in PVE mode is this just me or are they not a part of PVE???

They fix raid time for pve lol? Or is spt still the W

street on solo tarkov was laggy, I think that's why they require the server stuff

Sup mfs.. Happy Fourth!!

I love how they add a survey thing when over half of the community has left lolol

I’ve realized spt players are like vegetarians. They can’t watch a single Tarkov video without crying about how spt this, spt that.

mostly big Ws

I came back to tark for a brief stint to test my new pc. Next gen. 4080 super. 32 gigs 6000 MHZ ram and a i914900KS. And the game felt so clunky even at 130+ fps. I guess after so many thousands of hours of just playing tark I didn’t realize how unbelievably poorly optimized it was. ABO ruined tarkov for me 😂😂 can’t wait for it to be back.

surveys are rad, wish list is rad, good patch.

Still no apology from them yet? That’s crazy..

My DMA Card still work. stop trust BSG... they can do nothing

if pve becomes the focus the game is dead
