Tarkov is commonly associated with stress, frustration, cheaters, and the kind of hardcore feel that inevitably creates elitism. More than one casual shooter session with Tarkov buddies has inevitably developed into crushing the lobby while shouting 'welcome to Tarkov' every time we drop someone. That'll show the gamer dad chasing a quick game of Fortn

These traders also come with quests, allowing players to get guaranteed items and better deals with said trader. Quests around these traders might get expanded on later, adding more story content and explaining why Tarkov is in the current state it's

While most would compare this style of game to a Battle Royale like Fortnite or PUBG , Tarkov has so much more to offer with its endless depth. Here are 10 facts you might not know about this recent star in the gaming sc

In Ubisoft's case, former animator Jonathan Cooper weighed in to disagree, informing fans that adding female animations should really only take a couple of extra days of production; funnily enough, Ubisoft's next game Assassin's Creed Syndicate featured the female PC, Evie Frye.
