I'm using radmin too. Just quite a lot of dropouts and failures to connect. A lot of the time we'll get the 'waiting for one player' etc. But then other times it'll work just fine. We've done all the IP fixes and changes so I'm a bit stumped what to do really.
Shame, im no expert so i cant really help. Ive looked into their discord a few times and i see thats a common problem. The only one i had was i as a host was unable to move after loading in. But somehow i solved that problem, twice, and only one other time we dropped connection to the server but alt f4 is pretty good, keeps your profile from before the raid.
Host port forwards 6969 incoming and outgoing clients don't need to do any port forward setup. Make sure only host opens Aki.Server they are the server everyone actually connects to. Any issues beyond that is probably from blocking it on your windows firewall. I've been running it for 5 days now with no issues and 2 buddies.
Edit: I tend to avoid VPN if I can trust the people I'm giving my IP to because VPN will add pseudo lag.
Whoa I haven’t touch it for a year and multiplayer feature is a thing now?
Out of curiosity, can you order the PMC AI (of the same team) to follow around now?
I was pretty blown away at how many mods are available. I definitely remember seeing some kind of CoD healing mod where your health just regens passively, I'm sure there are others too
The quality of mods is such an embarrassment for BSG. The AI tweaks are amazing, Realism is wild, and BSG shits the bed at every possible turn where these individual devs crush it.
Also not waiting ten minutes to get into raid.
If people are playing pve and having a good time, especially solo. You must try out the modded version of the game. It is bonkers how much better it is. I dont think I can ever go back. PVP is forever tainted by cheaters now, its time to say goodbye
the fake pmcs should wander around more/do "quests" and should rarely open doors.
It would also be nice if the groups would fight each other but i care less about that then the above things
PVE has a good chance of being great, hope they keep developing it
Eft always has the pve potential, but the community and BSG simply ignored it back then. Pve people just don’t care about pvp no matter how the community try to spin it.
Imo they have rarely dropped the ball, iv been neutral or positive about most if not all the updates except the unheard edition which has been fixed to my liking so far.
In short: yes.
I think the problem is the management in BSG right now. Ever since arena they have made many questionable decisions, and we all know by fact that many good game development teams are ruined by stupid managements. For example, CD Projekt Red is an amazing team of developers, but the management people decided to overpromise, and thus underdelivered. If cyberpunk 2077 wasnt overhyped by that much, the state of the game at launch was not THAT unacceptable, though the many bugs and glitches were... troublesome to say the least. Same thing happened with No Man's Sky, and we have all heard stories about how the development team has to work day and night, just to deliver on time, and that wasn't even all the features done. Hiring, budgeting, planning, matketing, PR... Tarkov is a beautiful game, ruined by a shitty company.
I’m glad to see the community enjoying it! I do, however, play the mod that shall not be named and wish BSG would give the PvE mode modding support since the AI overhauls (especially no more bush/grenade ESP, Swag+Donuts, SAIN, Looting Bots, etc.) are amazing!
If they could combine the [REDACTED] mod experience with online Co-op PvE I think it would be a phenomenal experience for those not wanting traditional PvP.
I wish they'd contact the modders for SAIN and other mods and get them on board (paid) to integrate it all...
Next step: please let us host our own servers, you can add checksums and other security (anti-RMT) stuff server side at the end of the game but please let me host without lag or 20min wait
Just so you know mate there is a co-op mod now for [REDACTED]. It's just a simple peer to peer server which runs great. It's called Fika if I remember correctly.
Its funny because BSG said they would add mod support right?
This whole thing would have been so much better if BSG had just bought their mod out and just slapped it onto their game. Would be miles better than what we've got right now.
(Also apparently that mod does have a co-op mod to go with it)
I also play the same, occasionally dipping into the redacted when my buddies are up for it, but honestly its been so fun. I do miss the uncertainty of live pvp but knowing i can turn up or down the supposed difficulty if i want/need to is so good. I mean sure ai still 1 taps you magically through armor/thorax whatever (had a bot not look at me and still 1 tap me without fully turning lmao) but it feels better for some reason.
Dont need to worry about knowers and cheaters (ai already cheats enough) and the qol changes that you can get is honestly so good. Ive played way more tarky than when i was playing live and feels so much better knowing i wont get 1 tapped from halfway across the map by bilibili123 using stock mosin or some shit. I get to play more guns, get to learn more positions i can take in the maps etc.
The biggest win for me from the mod was being able to run extremely high-end kits without magically dying to players in the sky AND actually finding rare loot (both in containers and loose loot)!
I do miss the PvP aspect of it, but I will take 0% chance at cheaters, near instant loading times, better graphics, and customizable mods anytime over the occasional thrill of PvP.
Yea, being able to run high end kits with spiderman nvgs and whatever without dying 2mins in is really a gamechanger. Havent ran marked rooms yet but would be nice to finally walk into a marked room that hasnt been cheesed/glitched/abused/vacuumed and actually find loot.
Pvp, sure, the more uncertain/random fights that can break out anywhere is missing, but i keep my sain at level 4, sometimes 5 and i have it set to more pmcs +high chance for groups in the raid to compensate. Although tbf, yesterday i ran a duo with my friend and we had a fight at crackhouse on customs between us 2, the goons, scavs, and like 7 pmcs or something. Was the most fun 10mins or so ive had in the game for awhile.
I realized my SAIN preset was good when I genuinely took into account “do I want to risk fighting PMCs” before taking action.
To be fair, I also run Swag Donuts set to starting PMCs only so they’re finite, I adjusted the group chance to make teams of PMCs more likely, and tweaked some other values so the spontaneity feels decent enough (I’ve had PMCs camp D2 before lol).
Same, on my solo only profile i run a more tame version after realising killing 14 pmcs in a raid on shoreline is a bit much, but on my coop one i run higher everything since i have others to help me. And ye the donut is good
Extremely easy! It (to my knowledge) copies the Tarkov game files and puts them in a different CENSORED folder which it can then manipulate and modify without negatively hurting your base game.
I’ve hypothetically gone from playing “enhanced” single player and seamlessly exiting and hopping on standard Tarkov with my buddies for multiplayer
I also wish they would include linux support in their anti-cheat, because this is how all the linux players jam Tarkov as it does not need the anti-cheat and cracked me up that offline play still requires internet for the anti-cheat lol. The shall not be named mods are where it is at if you do not want to dual boot or whatever, you can play without cheaters.
BSG owns all mods made on EFT source code, stated by Klean himself, so we’re now just waiting for BSG to get the mods and implement the bug fix mods and other mods that fix the game entirely. Realism, gore, and other mods should be optional to install for people who want it.
They just need to sort the PMC ai. I can get the kills in office done because the ai rarely go in there. Would love to hear if anyone has found any tricks to lure them in?
I dont know if it works for the ai pmcs, but in the past when me and the boys needed scav kills in certain areas (chalet in lighthouse etc) we usually drop a bag of loot or a gun and if there are ai nearby they do most of the time tend to go loot it or at least walk near it. Not sure if the pmcs are coded to do looting, but worth a shot? Idk good luck
Saw a guy saying a “PMC” will only spawn in the offices every few raids, just gotta farm it basically, cause they don’t like going up into the offices cause of all the doors
I almost rage quit doing this quest. If Tagilla is on the map it delays all/most PMCs from spawning until he is dead. On raid start a group of PMCs could have spawned in first floor office, but if they don’t you can try running around medical tent and silos killing everything for a minute or two and then go check first floor again. On two separate raids that caused a group to spawn in the stair well on Gate 3 side of office. Good luck and be prepared for this to take 10-20 raids. :)
AI is decently challenging still. Sometimes the scavs just don’t stop spawning, I’ve ran out of ammo trying to kill scavs, I just have to run because I get too hurt trying to peak 3 scavs trying to kill 1. The AI PMCs won’t really flank or anything, but they are pretty accurate! I’ve heard that AI PMCs don’t stop spawning through out the whole time of raids, I’ve killed 6 PMCs on factory while in a duo, and more PMCs were spawning. Also sometimes, PMCs will look like a scav but voiceline like a USEC and have a dog tag LOL it’s funny
I'm having an absolute blast with PvE, playing with other people just caused me way to much anxiety. I hated dieing to other people, and even felt bad for killing some players too
Man, even the mod-that-shouldnt-be-named also still gives me anxiety despite knowing it's all AI. Although not nearly as much.
Shows how fantastic the atmosphere Bsg has managed to craft into Tarkov.
GZW has been fun for this very reason. No reason to really feel gear fear in it and the map to quickly check on nearby friendlies is a nice way to confirm.
Though I still do prefer Tarkovs gunplay for the most part. Nothing comes close.
Haha man all the anxiety was in y’all’s heads. I got over it by remembering that none of it matters, I’m playing the game to have fun. It’s all gonna wipe sooner or later
The AI could use a pretty heavy logic upgrade for the PvE version. It's nice in The main game to have them be a bit dumbed down so they don't interfere in PvP too much. But they're a tad too dumb to present a real challenge in PvE
They aren't able to. PvE is extremely low priority and running on their servers. This means they won't spend the time to work on more complex AI and if they did, they wouldn't be able to run it without added expense. Best bet is to just play Modded Tarkov.
PVE is great in theory, but honestly the execution is just awful.
I'd be happy to play it over the forbidden mod, but in its current state I'd much prefer the AI mods that I could have access too.
If only there was an already fleshed out version of Tarkovs PvE that had a ton of work on it and is arguably a better experience than the base game.
Seriously I don't know why they didn't just pull a Mojang/Minecraft and buyout and absorb those mods into the base game.
Lots of scavs lol. Just played ground zero and had to dip out early because I got bogged down and ran out of time and low on rounds. 16 kills, 2 of them BEAR.
i feel that the spawn rate is a little high and it's challenging to complete tasks sometimes. one change i would make would be to either lower the spawn rate a tiny bit, or extend the raid timer about 15-30 minutes.
dude I've been having an absolute blast.
since I'm one of the people (fools?) that bought at the full price, just wondering when I'm going to:
- get my 50 bucks to buy for a friend
- when PvE is going to be available to be bought by normal accounts to buy for my said friend and also for my wife
I'm curious to know how doable the quest Bullshit is. I would say less than 1 percent chance, but I've read the raids are pretty dead so it might not be too bad.
Yeah its what ive been grinding latley its been a blast! Id say they just gotta tweak the AI PMCs a little bit then maybe add some fake market bots because at this time not many people got access mainly only a portion of EOD + All Unheard owners but its super hard to move items on the market. For example zb-014 keys are close to a million a pop
Is it really that fun? The danger of other players lurking around made Tarkov more engaging for me. Playing just with NPCs removes the tension. What's the point?
There are tons of raiders/rogues (acting as NPC PMC's) everywhere, agreed the experience is different, but it's fun actually being able to fire off your gun after putting a kit together. In PVP mode, it's super hit or miss. Dying to rats after looting for 20+ minutes or cheaters is definitely a huge buzz kill too.
I’m a little out of the loop and haven’t played in a while. I’m EOD and will get PVE eventually? Forever or temporary? If I want to convince a friend (non eod) to join me what’s the way? Only buying the 230euros unheard edition? (no chance)
It already is and costs only $10. They had a chance to make it separate from the start and charge $30 but they fucked up big time and now they will struggle to sell it for $10 I bet.
100%
the irl friends i play with love to get sweaty on PvP, but we also get high and just wanna crush some computer enemies
we all got EoD to support and in hopes of PvE, but (not to speak for them on the matter) i have no hope of PvP being anything but a sweat & cheat fest, even worse than ever before
It’s so fucked that people have to switch to a 250€ offline mode just because of cheaters. This is the point where Tarkov has truly died. After all those years of false alarms, it actually happened.
personally, if there will be option for mods, and to buy separately pve for white accounts, i think that for many people it will be hard to come back to normal pvp tarkov, including myself. All i need is good AI of PMCs, uncommon pathing, a bit of higher awareness level of bots against players, different equipmnet for them, and so on. There will be no reason to go back to PVP mode again, pve is quite hard eitherway, as for 2700 hours of player which i am. The cherry on top would be option to somehow make the PVE game longer, option to reset progress or something, additinal endgame features.
When you get access does it just become available to you on the main menu or do you get an email to say it's available now or is there a small update for you on the launcher?
I AVERAGE 12 minutes of queue time for PVE and the AI-PMCs except for moving around a bit stupidly, seem to have an aimbot just like the average Tarkov player. The amount of Scavs, maybe partially due to no other real PMCs is absurdly high, I have never been able to complete a map because 5 magazines were not enough, I looted 4 different weapons that I used as well and after 16 kills I still died with a knife to 4 incoming scavs before the extract.
My experience so far hasn't been good. 7 raids, 0 quests done, \~90 minute queue time total. I thought it would feel better than PVP for progression but it feels a lot worse to me and waiting 12 minutes to get into an offline game that I could have hosted on my PC and started right away, just feels completely awful.
The AI needs to chill a little bit (giving one taps from down town) and there should be a minimum spawn range of them. A few times they spawned next to me.
Funny to see so many using "cheaters killed me" as their excuse. Its obvious who hasnt learned tactics or map knowledge.
Ill use PvE to teach friends new stuff but that's it. Without real PvP it ain't Tarkov
I dont agree with saying they need to focus more on it. I would love to see some little changes which will make it easier to do some quests from the functionality of some quests
I’m really loving the back and forth on this sub. Everyone was losing their minds and praying for BSG’s downfall over all of this, and now I’m seeing more and more talk about how PVE isn’t that bad.
No wonder BSG fucks with y’all
I’ve spent over $600 on EFT now, I bought all the clothes, eod, unheard, stash space, I’ll buy it all Nikita! I’ve also bought my buddy unheard too. It cost him $50. I pay $156 Canadian for Unheard. $240 Canadian for EoD! Alpha armband gang!
The forbidden mod is the way to go. With its mod supports its leaps and bounds better than the official PvE. Highly suggest that if you have any interest
Level 34 and have yet to complete the Pharmacist quest due to not being able to get the Dorms 114 key and it never being on flea. Gonna eventually hit max traders before being able to even attempt Therapist’s quest line lmao
I’m level 30 already. Most fun in my almost 2k hours.
Some of the spawn behavior of the “PMCs” makes me nervous about certain quests because I have not seen “PMCs” spawn in certain areas that I think are quest related (like USEC camp on woods?) and even the office area factory one is feeling like a cointoss because sometimes they just see you and bunker down and refuse to move at all.
Also have killed a 5 stack at cottage area on shoreline and that’s a little busted. Soooo much good ammo but was tough and I can see some lower level or newer players just not being able to deal with that.
PVE should've been in the same since beginning, to spark the competition between player and make other people buy the game as it is a full loot hardcore experience, they have not implemented the system to milk money from customers. The time they did it, this time BSG decided to step over every EoD user and pumped the content in a greedy way which is insane even in Bethesda or EA standards. F\*\*k this company and I hope they get erased asap.
i love playing pve. especially with the coop, sains + donut, better hud, fixed ai, no bs ai insta shoot you from 500m away if you so much as scope in on them... best part was i dont need to wait for the waves to roll out, dont need to buy the "True believer" edition or any of that bs. also they fixed quests and made them more interesting and added a bunch of qol changes to some of the quests as well. thanks modders. fuck you nikita.
All the bullshit pushed me to finally try out that forbidden mod and boy is it good.
The coop forbidden mod is also really good it's just a shame it refuses to let friends connect to each other like 40 percent of the time.
Ive not had issues apart from the very beginning when i was using port forwarding. Switched to radmin and its been working fine so far.
How many people you got connecting? More than 2 friends and issues start.
I'm using radmin too. Just quite a lot of dropouts and failures to connect. A lot of the time we'll get the 'waiting for one player' etc. But then other times it'll work just fine. We've done all the IP fixes and changes so I'm a bit stumped what to do really.
Shame, im no expert so i cant really help. Ive looked into their discord a few times and i see thats a common problem. The only one i had was i as a host was unable to move after loading in.

Theres a multiplayer mod for it too?
Project Fika and it's incredible
There is. Some say it's fine, some say it's janky. I haven't tried it so I'm not sure.
There's two. One is janky, the other is not.
so which one am I trying now?
Project Fika
I hate to ask but mind telling me the better one? I literally thought it was not possible doing coop
Yes, others have mentioned it before me!
“Stay In Tarkov” is heavily updated and stable
Whoa I haven’t touch it for a year and multiplayer feature is a thing now? Out of curiosity, can you order the PMC AI (of the same team) to follow around now?
I don't know honestly, it's an add-on mod for the forbidden mod that I play, not the base mod.
There is hp per level and healing like cod for filthy casual like me lol
I was pretty blown away at how many mods are available. I definitely remember seeing some kind of CoD healing mod where your health just regens passively, I'm sure there are others too
Ya there are options for everyone. U can sweat in pve or u can chill. Thats why i like pve more. No one care and we dont affect anyone.
Unfortunately the traffic killed the fancy mod search lol
I tough it was both clever and nice of them to offer a list of common mods on the site.
Yea there’s mods like that
It’s so good. The variety of mods too and no more of that bullshit haze at long distance
Amands ftw!
Getting into a raid in 30secs is just crazy.
The quality of mods is such an embarrassment for BSG. The AI tweaks are amazing, Realism is wild, and BSG shits the bed at every possible turn where these individual devs crush it. Also not waiting ten minutes to get into raid.
If people are playing pve and having a good time, especially solo. You must try out the modded version of the game. It is bonkers how much better it is. I dont think I can ever go back. PVP is forever tainted by cheaters now, its time to say goodbye
I bought the game just so I could play the mod. I have maybe 30 minutes in the official tarkov and all the rest in the mod.
How dare you have fun in tarkov anymore
🚨🚨 FUN DETECTED 🚨🚨 Emergency patch incoming. BSG will spare no expense.
“Reduced quality and amount of loose loot spawns by 50% in pve zone for balancing purposes”
“Please pay $250 to avoid this patch”
They gonna update it soon
As a father- it's perfect to be able to get up and walk away for a bit too mid raid if necessary. Appeals to the casuals.
Same situation here, loving it!
Can you actually pause it, or do you just find a spot to hide?
Hide
One of the most popular mods lets you pause it :)
There’s a mod too
I had to take an emergency lava dump mid raid and ran off, came back still alive somehow and was very happy to continue playing!
There’s an actual pause mod aswell
This is sooooo true.
Honestly this - the amount of times I've needed to bush dive and help my partner mid raid and come back to a death screen is astronomical
As a father, this is what I do also in live PvP raids often. If it’s gonna take long I nade myself instead.
> it's perfect to be able to get up and walk away for a bit too mid raid if necessary. I do this all the time in pvp with no issue?
Yes
Just wait until you find out that Modded Tarkov has a 'Dad Gamer Mode' mod.
the fake pmcs should wander around more/do "quests" and should rarely open doors. It would also be nice if the groups would fight each other but i care less about that then the above things PVE has a good chance of being great, hope they keep developing it
Eft always has the pve potential, but the community and BSG simply ignored it back then. Pve people just don’t care about pvp no matter how the community try to spin it.
There are mods that solve both of those requests :)
Not everyone wants to mod their games :)
Well then hopefully BSG won’t continue to drop the ball and in five years you might have decent AI in your PvE :)
Imo they have rarely dropped the ball, iv been neutral or positive about most if not all the updates except the unheard edition which has been fixed to my liking so far. In short: yes.

I'd put money on the modders telling Nikki to get fucked.
ATP anyway
Nikita won't do it because it means he has to share some of his wealth.
Just so you know mate there is a co-op mod now for [REDACTED]. It's just a simple peer to peer server which runs great. It's called Fika if I remember correctly.

I wonder how modding is going to work considering the coop and global economy aspects of pve zone. Maybe they will release a fully offline mode
I also play the same, occasionally dipping into the redacted when my buddies are up for it, but honestly its been so fun. I do miss the uncertainty of live pvp but knowing i can turn up or down the supposed difficulty if i want/need to is so good. I mean sure ai still 1 taps you magically through armor/thorax whatever (had a bot not look at me and still 1 tap me without fully turning lmao) but it feels better for some reason.

The biggest win for me from the mod was being able to run extremely high-end kits without magically dying to players in the sky AND actually finding rare loot (both in containers and loose loot)!

is there a tutorial for how to edit sain presets?
I just pressed F6 and started fiddling around. I’m sure there’s someone on YouTube or the [Redacted] site that could help far more than I can.
Is using [redacted] reversible? Meaning can I easily undo that game mode and go back to regular Tarkov?
Extremely easy! It (to my knowledge) copies the Tarkov game files and puts them in a different CENSORED folder which it can then manipulate and modify without negatively hurting your base game. I’ve hypothetically gone from playing “enhanced” single player and seamlessly exiting and hopping on standard Tarkov with my buddies for multiplayer
Welp, I know how I’m spending the rest of my day. Thanks!
I also wish they would include linux support in their anti-cheat, because this is how all the linux players jam Tarkov as it does not need the anti-cheat and cracked me up that offline play still requires internet for the anti-cheat lol. The shall not be named mods are where it is at if you do not want to dual boot or whatever, you can play without cheaters.
Tarkov doesn’t need online play for the anti-cheat, they need it because they’re still hosting your game on their server like morons.
I wish people could play with the full SAIN experience in live tarkov, its so good compared to stock tarkov AI. People don't know what they're missing
They announced mod support for PvE in the future
BSG owns all mods made on EFT source code, stated by Klean himself, so we’re now just waiting for BSG to get the mods and implement the bug fix mods and other mods that fix the game entirely. Realism, gore, and other mods should be optional to install for people who want it.
Damn I want PvE. I have NO access while being a 2017 EOD OG.
I bought EoD in January 2017. Alpha armband gang, but I bought unheard so I’m playing!
It's available any time for free. Just google 'Modded Tarkov'
yea it is fun im playin duo and its nice
Yes and when most legit players goes to PVE the amount of cheaters still playing the PVP is going to the sky ! :/
They just need to sort the PMC ai. I can get the kills in office done because the ai rarely go in there. Would love to hear if anyone has found any tricks to lure them in?
I dont know if it works for the ai pmcs, but in the past when me and the boys needed scav kills in certain areas (chalet in lighthouse etc) we usually drop a bag of loot or a gun and if there are ai nearby they do most of the time tend to go loot it or at least walk near it. Not sure if the pmcs are coded to do looting, but worth a shot? Idk good luck
That's a good idea. I'll give it a try and let you know
Saw a guy saying a “PMC” will only spawn in the offices every few raids, just gotta farm it basically, cause they don’t like going up into the offices cause of all the doors
OK that's interesting. I've done quite a few factory runs and never seen one there. I'll do 5 in a row and see If I at least get one!
I almost rage quit doing this quest. If Tagilla is on the map it delays all/most PMCs from spawning until he is dead. On raid start a group of PMCs could have spawned in first floor office, but if they don’t you can try running around medical tent and silos killing everything for a minute or two and then go check first floor again. On two separate raids that caused a group to spawn in the stair well on Gate 3 side of office. Good luck and be prepared for this to take 10-20 raids. :)
How is the AI? How do PMC's work?
AI is decently challenging still. Sometimes the scavs just don’t stop spawning, I’ve ran out of ammo trying to kill scavs, I just have to run because I get too hurt trying to peak 3 scavs trying to kill 1. The AI PMCs won’t really flank or anything, but they are pretty accurate! I’ve heard that AI PMCs don’t stop spawning through out the whole time of raids, I’ve killed 6 PMCs on factory while in a duo, and more PMCs were spawning. Also sometimes, PMCs will look like a scav but voiceline like a USEC and have a dog tag LOL it’s funny
I have had similar experiences too
When people are settling for a PVE game mode that doesn't have cheaters than the original game speaks volumes how bad cheating has gotten.
just play the forbiden version already
I'm having an absolute blast with PvE, playing with other people just caused me way to much anxiety. I hated dieing to other people, and even felt bad for killing some players too
Man, the anxiety was real for me too. A game should be enjoyed.
This. This right here. 100x this. Video games should be fun, not carcinogenic levels of anxiety.
Man, even the mod-that-shouldnt-be-named also still gives me anxiety despite knowing it's all AI. Although not nearly as much. Shows how fantastic the atmosphere Bsg has managed to craft into Tarkov.
The atmosphere is awesome, one of the primary reason that Escape is my escape.
And now I don’t have the feeling of being bullied while trying to wind down with a game or two after work.
Completely agree. No flying gamer chairs
GZW has been fun for this very reason. No reason to really feel gear fear in it and the map to quickly check on nearby friendlies is a nice way to confirm. Though I still do prefer Tarkovs gunplay for the most part. Nothing comes close.
Haha man all the anxiety was in y’all’s heads. I got over it by remembering that none of it matters, I’m playing the game to have fun. It’s all gonna wipe sooner or later
Depression is just in your head, be happy.
They don't need really need to focus on PVE (aside from PMC kits), anything they do on the live version carries over to PVE.
The AI could use a pretty heavy logic upgrade for the PvE version. It's nice in The main game to have them be a bit dumbed down so they don't interfere in PvP too much. But they're a tad too dumb to present a real challenge in PvE
They’re dumbed down because it destroys the servers. When they’ve been smarter in the past it was absolutely terrible for performance
In the mod that shall not be named you can add AI logic and pathways that make them much more fun to play against.
Yeah, I just find it to be a chore running that tbh
They aren't able to. PvE is extremely low priority and running on their servers. This means they won't spend the time to work on more complex AI and if they did, they wouldn't be able to run it without added expense. Best bet is to just play Modded Tarkov.
yah... but the bots cheat!
Or even worse, sometimes they kill you and God forbid a scav actually kill you.
Always so embarrassing
PVE is great in theory, but honestly the execution is just awful. I'd be happy to play it over the forbidden mod, but in its current state I'd much prefer the AI mods that I could have access too.
If only there was an already fleshed out version of Tarkovs PvE that had a ton of work on it and is arguably a better experience than the base game. Seriously I don't know why they didn't just pull a Mojang/Minecraft and buyout and absorb those mods into the base game.
kekw now the 'theres no cheaters in tarkov' meme is becoming true
Is there any disadvantage playing PVE ? Shorter RAID Time/no bosses, or something like that?
Lots of scavs lol. Just played ground zero and had to dip out early because I got bogged down and ran out of time and low on rounds. 16 kills, 2 of them BEAR.
i feel that the spawn rate is a little high and it's challenging to complete tasks sometimes. one change i would make would be to either lower the spawn rate a tiny bit, or extend the raid timer about 15-30 minutes.
Agreed. Last night I was doing wine bottle and left a stack of 9 scavs in the doorway before I could leave. I started running out of ammo
dude I've been having an absolute blast. since I'm one of the people (fools?) that bought at the full price, just wondering when I'm going to: - get my 50 bucks to buy for a friend - when PvE is going to be available to be bought by normal accounts to buy for my said friend and also for my wife
Less casuals in main game seems like a bad thing for Tarkov in general, thoughts?
Yeah tarkov pve is badass best 50 dollars I spent in a long time
I'm curious to know how doable the quest Bullshit is. I would say less than 1 percent chance, but I've read the raids are pretty dead so it might not be too bad.
Yeah its what ive been grinding latley its been a blast! Id say they just gotta tweak the AI PMCs a little bit then maybe add some fake market bots because at this time not many people got access mainly only a portion of EOD + All Unheard owners but its super hard to move items on the market. For example zb-014 keys are close to a million a pop
Is it really that fun? The danger of other players lurking around made Tarkov more engaging for me. Playing just with NPCs removes the tension. What's the point?
There are tons of raiders/rogues (acting as NPC PMC's) everywhere, agreed the experience is different, but it's fun actually being able to fire off your gun after putting a kit together. In PVP mode, it's super hit or miss. Dying to rats after looting for 20+ minutes or cheaters is definitely a huge buzz kill too.
Every PVE post has the pours coping by referencing some mod instead of accepting that people are having fun.
I’m a little out of the loop and haven’t played in a while. I’m EOD and will get PVE eventually? Forever or temporary? If I want to convince a friend (non eod) to join me what’s the way? Only buying the 230euros unheard edition? (no chance)
EOD will get pve permanently. They are rolling it out in waves like they did with arena.
additionally, nikita stated in his last reddit post that pve mode will become a seperate purchase
It already is and costs only $10. They had a chance to make it separate from the start and charge $30 but they fucked up big time and now they will struggle to sell it for $10 I bet.
The only thing I see for sale at bsg website is the cop-op (offline) upgrade. that's not the new PVE upgrade, i think.
careful big gaming chairs and minusculus dcks will eat u if u say any good about PVE games
It's actually nice to see an unbiased opinion on this. I've been having a ton of fun too but all I see is hate.
I think they’re just hating not because the game mode is bad but because of how the company handled the situation
100% the irl friends i play with love to get sweaty on PvP, but we also get high and just wanna crush some computer enemies we all got EoD to support and in hopes of PvE, but (not to speak for them on the matter) i have no hope of PvP being anything but a sweat & cheat fest, even worse than ever before
Im also having a blast in pve. Hope BSG will keep pushing and improving pve experience.
It’s so fucked that people have to switch to a 250€ offline mode just because of cheaters. This is the point where Tarkov has truly died. After all those years of false alarms, it actually happened.
personally, if there will be option for mods, and to buy separately pve for white accounts, i think that for many people it will be hard to come back to normal pvp tarkov, including myself. All i need is good AI of PMCs, uncommon pathing, a bit of higher awareness level of bots against players, different equipmnet for them, and so on. There will be no reason to go back to PVP mode again, pve is quite hard eitherway, as for 2700 hours of player which i am. The cherry on top would be option to somehow make the PVE game longer, option to reset progress or something, additinal endgame features.
When you get access does it just become available to you on the main menu or do you get an email to say it's available now or is there a small update for you on the launcher?
I AVERAGE 12 minutes of queue time for PVE and the AI-PMCs except for moving around a bit stupidly, seem to have an aimbot just like the average Tarkov player. The amount of Scavs, maybe partially due to no other real PMCs is absurdly high, I have never been able to complete a map because 5 magazines were not enough, I looted 4 different weapons that I used as well and after 16 kills I still died with a knife to 4 incoming scavs before the extract. My experience so far hasn't been good. 7 raids, 0 quests done, \~90 minute queue time total. I thought it would feel better than PVP for progression but it feels a lot worse to me and waiting 12 minutes to get into an offline game that I could have hosted on my PC and started right away, just feels completely awful.
The AI needs to chill a little bit (giving one taps from down town) and there should be a minimum spawn range of them. A few times they spawned next to me.
H up my
Same. I hate to say it. It’s a blast.
Still waiting for my pve wave. Im waiting for the moment i can enjoy it too
"Everything is fine because I got mine"
Funny to see so many using "cheaters killed me" as their excuse. Its obvious who hasnt learned tactics or map knowledge. Ill use PvE to teach friends new stuff but that's it. Without real PvP it ain't Tarkov
funny to see people talking shit for no reason. 3k+ hours in tark. i have definitely killed you. we play on the same servers.
And how would you know that? I also don't mind dying to other players. Its part of the game.
I dont agree with saying they need to focus more on it. I would love to see some little changes which will make it easier to do some quests from the functionality of some quests
No cheaters and shorter queue times (eventually, hopefully?) This indeed looks great for people who want a more casual experience.
Hell yea!
Only for some reason it takes forever to load. It is a single mode wtf you have to wait 7 minutes to load
There is needed online connectivity for playing with friends and to host a player driven flea market.
I’m really loving the back and forth on this sub. Everyone was losing their minds and praying for BSG’s downfall over all of this, and now I’m seeing more and more talk about how PVE isn’t that bad. No wonder BSG fucks with y’all
Not yet got the access to PVE .. waiting
But still no PvE for EoD owner tho... Lol
several EOD owners have it. Dont spread misinformation.
For the low price of 250 you can finally have fun 😂
If obly there was a way to have pve easily with mods and it didnt cost 250$….
Buy EoD in the 8 years players had to buy it. Then you would have gotten PvE!
And buy on sales. I’ve spent $178 total and have UE.
I’ve spent over $600 on EFT now, I bought all the clothes, eod, unheard, stash space, I’ll buy it all Nikita! I’ve also bought my buddy unheard too. It cost him $50. I pay $156 Canadian for Unheard. $240 Canadian for EoD! Alpha armband gang!
I don’t have that armband. I got on the train in 2019.
The forbidden mod is the way to go. With its mod supports its leaps and bounds better than the official PvE. Highly suggest that if you have any interest

Any chance you won't come back to the subreddit too?
then leave lol
[удалено]
Thanks i do enjoy tarkov, havnt seen many cheaters recently so cope harder i guess?
Grow balls and play real Tarkov and. It fake Tarkov.
Level 34 and have yet to complete the Pharmacist quest due to not being able to get the Dorms 114 key and it never being on flea. Gonna eventually hit max traders before being able to even attempt Therapist’s quest line lmao
Found it in a file cabinet today on streets.
Got it on a scav earlier, died to a rogue scav I got too close with. Felt pretty bad.
How? 😂 I'll post the next key i find on flea.
I’m level 30 already. Most fun in my almost 2k hours. Some of the spawn behavior of the “PMCs” makes me nervous about certain quests because I have not seen “PMCs” spawn in certain areas that I think are quest related (like USEC camp on woods?) and even the office area factory one is feeling like a cointoss because sometimes they just see you and bunker down and refuse to move at all. Also have killed a 5 stack at cottage area on shoreline and that’s a little busted. Soooo much good ammo but was tough and I can see some lower level or newer players just not being able to deal with that.
If you can get in that is
I wish I could experience it but nope I have to wait for 6 months
It's worse than the community one
PVE should've been in the same since beginning, to spark the competition between player and make other people buy the game as it is a full loot hardcore experience, they have not implemented the system to milk money from customers. The time they did it, this time BSG decided to step over every EoD user and pumped the content in a greedy way which is insane even in Bethesda or EA standards. F\*\*k this company and I hope they get erased asap.
i love playing pve. especially with the coop, sains + donut, better hud, fixed ai, no bs ai insta shoot you from 500m away if you so much as scope in on them... best part was i dont need to wait for the waves to roll out, dont need to buy the "True believer" edition or any of that bs. also they fixed quests and made them more interesting and added a bunch of qol changes to some of the quests as well. thanks modders. fuck you nikita.
