Tarkov

Escape from Tarkov is a multiplayer tactical first-person shooter game developed by Battlestate Games for Microsoft Windows. The game is set in the fictional Norvinsk region in northwestern Russia, where two private military companies, United Security (USEC) and the Battle Encounter Assault Regiment (BEAR), are at war. Players participate in "raids" where they battle other players and bots to gather loot and aim to survive and escape.

Gameplay

Escape from Tarkov features three main modes: online PMC raids, Scav (short for "scavenger") raids, and a temporary offline mode. Players can play solo or in groups, starting on one side of various maps. They must reach an extraction point on the opposite side while fighting other players and non-player characters. Players can collect loot such as firearms, equipment, and armor, which they can store in a stash or sell to other players. Dying in a raid results in losing everything, but players can insure their gear for a chance to get it back if it's not taken by others.

Plot

The game takes place in Tarkov, the capital of the Norvinsk Special Economic Zone. The city is in chaos due to political scandals and the collapse of corporations, leading to a war between USEC and BEAR. The game has nine available maps, each representing different parts of the city, like Customs, Factory, Interchange, and Lighthouse. Players can explore these areas, complete missions, and fight against various factions to survive.
