To preface, I have played Tarkov on and off for years, I’m a fan of Hunt Showdown, and I didn’t really like the arcade feeling that Arc Raiders gave me

The reviews of this game make me a bit cautious, but it seems like the people who actually do play this game see the potential in it, they know they just have to wait

I’m no stranger to this aspect of gaming as I played Tarkov for 8 years before it officially released, and Star Citizens beta period is a beast of its own, so that part doesn’t drive me away

Is there true progress being made on this game? How does it feel compared to 2 years ago?

And, would you call it “fun”

I see steam has roughly 500-800 active players on at any given time, so I ask you, should I buy this game? Should I let it cook a bit longer? Or is this game just not worth it

I’m playing this game in Korea.

I’m also a new player who just started a short while ago,

but I happened to come across a video on YouTube about this giant woman and became curious about what kind of game it was.

After reading the game’s description, I decided to buy it, and I’ve been playing for about 30 hours now.

There are quite a few new players in the Korean community who, like me, were drawn to the game after seeing that video.

I really wanna get to the new content drop, building our own mother courage sounds super cool. Yet i even haven't upgraded my bar to level 2 so getting octogirl or the new content sounds impossible for me. I just don't have the time or willingness to grind 80+ hours while the movement and gunplay feels so jank.

I love this game and it's lore but man it's super grindy....

Just want to have my own mother courage mommy

fell off a pipe in the C tunnels and no gravestone/thing you interact with to pickup what ya dropped after death showed up on the hud map, if I could craft a recovery drone I would have used one of thoes

no more kriss vector, s12, or loot :(

Loaded in after the new update and was immediately greeted with Octogirl talking about someone named Madonna. Never even seen Octogirl before. Makes me think the game skipped a big portion of content due to someones fuck up

I have accepted the game will never be finished and even if it gets a 1.0 sticker slapped on it the game will never function as Ue5 is simply not an engine capable of making the game work the way it should due to AI actor limitation. Something the STALKER 2 devs learned the hard way as well.

But maybe the game inspires some company with actual funds and a large dev team to make a PvEvE style scav game in an engine that can handle it.

For those that don't know the original vision and prototype was one huge interconnected map with a battle simulation raging across it that you ventured out into. Enemies didn't just spawn 20m around you out of sight they were engaged in the battle with actual objectives across the front. Imagine an RTS layer being played by two CPU commanders and you just ran around in that battle.

With smarter choices in the beginning maybe one day we would have got that game from the devs, but I doubt we ever will.

• Once you have collected Mother Courage’s head and all of the questions available, Octogirl will have additional quests for you to continue to investigate Mother Courage.

The patch notes state the above regarding the progression to what (from what screenshots show) appears to be collection of the torso. If I am reading the patch notes correctly, I need to complete all 80 (per wiki) of the previous dialogues before being able to progress to the new content? Is that correct?

Assuming no deaths and no mistakes, that's looking at over 240 thermite just for the Mother Courage codex pile we need. If so, as a solo player, being unwilling to use cheats, where the hell do I farm up all that thermite?? Downtown has plenty of military boxes, but even with the drop boosts from the latest patch, I MIGHT get 1-3 per run. I suppose I could run Babel Scav Girl loops, but... suggestions?

Hello everyone, I have been watching this games development ever since​ it's first trailer but couldn't get to play it until now ​since I'm a broke uni student. I saw that it was on sale for 5 bucks and bought it.

I absolutely love it's atmosphere and the general gameplay loop, even though this is the first time I've played an extraction shooter. I always wanted to play a game with this kind of aesthetic and I'm planning on sticking around for the foreseeable future. Except there's a bit of problem I'm facing.

The general atmosphere and situations are a bit too "atmospheric", to say the least. Sometimes it gets so bad that I start jumping at shadows and combined with the audio work in this game, I get more stressed than entertained during sessions.

But I can't stop playing it since I find it really interesting and there's no other game like this out there. And i dont have any friends that play games. ​So essentially what Im saying is I would love to play with some other people from here just so the game doesnt feel so spooky anymore, if the game allows that, that is. My steam name is Diabeetus​. Thank you for reading this and sorry for mistakes, English is not my first language but I am trying to improve it.

I haven't seen it mentioned in patch notes, but I got insane amount of night shift today.

5/5 runs in elephant mausoleum were night shifts. 1/7 in scorched enclave and 1/2 in mech trenches.

I have 25h of playtime so far and before update o got night shift only once

I don't think that i have any quests that guarantee night shift in mausoleum. I only need to hack medbay door and give cigarettes to the injured soldier. There is no way I go in there with grabbers nearby and negative visibility.

Hi all. To start off i am by no means new to this genre. I have a little over 2k hours jn tarkov so i understand the basics of this game. I do have questions about particular mechanics though.

1. Is it worth farming the tunnel for low level craft mats or should i just go to the overworld maps?

2. Now that water doesnt drain over time when offline do yall still fell the tank?

3. Should i prestige everytime i can or is there a "sweet spot" for reference i play as scav girl. 1 because she doesnt look like mole from lost city of atlantis and 2 thr covert move speed.

Lastly 4 why dies my character snap a 180 sometime when i am in a firefight. Inwas killing some cyborgs and everytime i went to aim my character flipped like a beyblade and it got me killed. This happened 3 times now and is my only deaths.

Thanks!

I've been keeping a eye on this game since they put it up on steam on 2024 but it looked unoptimiztied and janky as hell so didnt buy it. I think its looking alot better now but I'm not sure if I want to go ahead and get it finally. How does it play and run now?

Hello scavs, i need help, i went to hunt down a mother courage to get its head, to finally complete A paid to be cost, and the game just won't let me take it with a message "You do not have an active quest for this part, or you already have this part", so to be clear, i have completed the octogirl and bunco's quest, and the last line of octogirl's dialogue is for me to go collect the head, yet the game WON'T LET ME! I ALREADY KILLED 5 MOTHERS AND ALWAYS THE SAME THING!

Does anybody have any idea what might be causing this? I also have the innards full upgraded

I genuinely cannot find any information on this. I see no prompt to interact with them in a run, there's nothing in the controls menu except 'B' being the NPC command button, which does not work on the mule.

I have more than 60 hours of gameplay and never appeared a single night shift, now when i entered Downtown i got my first one, its quite different the approach because its really, really dark in some places, needless to say i loved, and the rig light is more useful than ever, because using the guns lanterns is not the same.
