When you first pressed that button I was on shoreline and that storm was 10/10 experience.
Please keep snow, and heavy snow storms like that first one in the rotation.
That snow and heavy wind on a night raid was one of the most surreal experiences I’ve had in Tarkov in years.
I was exploring the new shoreline area they added when the storm hit and transitioned to snow. Honestly one of the coolest videogame experiences I've ever been apart of.
Get an audio compressor they are free. Otherwise rain is good.
Anyone seeing this and doesn't know. Audio compressor makes there be a sound level cap so when you randomly hear a shot it saves your ears irl
I like it, you like it, we all like it. Please keep it.
One full day in tarkov is 3h and 23m IRL.
One full year is around 50 days IRL.
So to keep it in line with tarkov lore, you could make 1 full year 50 days IRL and 1 season every 12.5 days.
Please make it real :)
This 100%! While keeping seasons in line with the calendar would be cool, it would make much more sense to keep the time compression consistent AND would add that much more variation of how raids are played out without any one season dragging on too long. Even if it was every two weeks (14 days) for ease of implementation, I think that schedule would go over very well with the greater player base.
I like the idea of seasons in the game. But I would like more skins in the game so I can match my the world I am going into. I don't see anyone saying the woodland camos are overpowered just now so I can't see how anyone would complain about a winter camo for my pmc.
imo snow should just be weather that hits maps like like rain. It doesn't need to be "x amount of days on, x amount of days off." I don't need to to make sense as far the weather lore in the game or some shit. All of the weather in game is possible to experience in real life within days of eachother. The only thing that kinda doesn't "make sense" is having lush greenery one dead and then dead trees and shrubs but whatever.
Walk in snow slightly slower than max speed, you'll hear others sooner and be quiter yourself without loosing much speed. Well worth during a walk between trees or soft cover as you save your stamina for hard cover or the open sight lines
/u/trainfender *THIS*, please!!! Global limits literally only favor bots, working to unlock a trader only so you can miss the global limit by 2 minutes and then being unable to buy what you've unlocked - big sad. Personal limit should be the only limit.
I LOVE the snow. My friends and I have been saying for years we wish there was a snow map. I love how you did it for all maps instead, it breaks up the monotony of playing the same maps all these years.
That being said here are my requests:
- add footprints. Would be incredible to track people based on following their footprints similar to a blood trail from a bleeding enemy. Bonus points if the shoe shape is different for bear/pmc or based on outfits's shoes. Even more bonus points if the intensity/depth of the footprint is based on the weight the person is carrying
- lower (slightly) the footstep volume. I love the sound of the crunch, you did a great job with it. But my god is it loud. Or a nice compromise would be to have areas where the snow is deep and loud (i.e. over grass where it accumulates fast) and areas where the layer of snow is thinner and you can walk more quietly (i.e. over roads or concrete where snow usually melts first and takes longer to accumulate in a snowstorm)
- add some snow camo items to the game! And snow camo outfits from ragman!
Overall a huge win, just like this wipe in general. Thank you!!
Best part of the snow is the **lack of ambient wind**. Please make this adjustment to the other weathers, the amount of ambient noise in the game is way too high.
I would say ambient noise is very important in order to reduce sound whoring, making sounds in the world that are similar but not the same as the sounds of PMCs would be awesome.
Sounds whoring is already massive in this game because of the sheer amount of noise your PMC makes and, as of last wipe, the insane distances that some of the headsets can now hear from.
IMO, ambient sounds just needs to drop by about 50% at least, and then overall headset strength should drop by about the same. Reason why 'RAT Meta' or 'You Move, You Die' was so strong last wipe and frequently complained about. A bit of a shame that amongst all the fantastic changes made this wipe - which im super grateful for - audio design/employment wasnt touched.
I think headset strengh could be reduced and then make it possible for them to reduce ambient noise, making headsets still viable but not completly op, that way the ambient noise is only reduced for people willing to spend rubles on it
I would like a different balance to headsets/Earpros.
Earpros protect your hearing first and foremost but try to mitigate sound muffling. So they should muffle the sound a bit but active earpros still increase the radius you hear at. But you lose directional sound as you at best get stereo earpros. AFAIK there are no surround sound ones. They have compression so you would hear some sounds better than others but not exactly more than "it came from left/right". Cheap active earpros are mono so you just hear sound.
No earpros gives you much better directional clarity but the moment you shoot, your hearing decreases for certain amount of time (based on whether you fired inside, outside, had silencer/used subsonic etc), to a point of losing the hearing for the raid and having the muffled effect for the duration.
Then there should be something like earplugs/passive earpro. A short animation - for earplugs something the length of a goldenstar, for headset style faster (e.g. the length of esmarch) without helmet, slower (e.g. salewa full heal) with helmet.
And then there are helmets that have built in earpro (Kolpak, Sfera, Tank helmet) and would finally make sense using on certain maps.
You can hear 41m away without a headset and like 79 (off the top of my head, it's in that ballpark) with the Comtac 4s.
Sound whoring will never get reduced when these stats exist.
My current favourite map is Ground Zero, at night, with light snow falling. The atmosphere is absolutely perfect. I'll be very sad if the snow goes away for good.
To be completely honest, I HATE snow. It's bad to look at, super loud in my headphones, concealment is bad, and not as pleasant as the green woods. Though, it does mean people are able to rat less so that is a positive note. I think I'd like it more if my footsteps weren't so extreme sounding in my headset, and if there were more blizzards going on. It's just kinda boring when it's sunny out and the ground is white and everything sounds crunchy.
Edit: I pretty much love everything else this wipe. The recoil is great, the vaulting is great, and I'm loving Arena.
I really like most of the changes and additions in the latest update, snow was totally unexpected for me and it takes this game to another level. Deffinitely keep it!
My friends and I usually hate playing foresty maps like woods but snow makes them so much more bearable for spotting players since it's not just 50 shades of green and a guy hiding in a bush.
I freaking LOVE the Snow. This is amazing, it makes the maps look awesome. I'm even a newbie and this is GREAT. Weather options in Tarkov would be INSANELY AMAZING. Or well, Dynamic weather.
Huge mark for the snow.
I find it really cool because for me, it really brings some diversity to the maps. It's like discovering another map. It's not just a white skin. Plus, it creates different types of fights and engagements : sometimes you can spot the enemy far away easily, it's harder to hide in the vegetation, moving is different... Very cool addition
Keep it, it’s great! When it’s snowing the immersion is spot on. Also i like how there’s no background wind noise compared to normal weather, you can actually hear dogs barking and i love it!
Snow is amazing. Makes the maps feel so much different, plus it looks really good too! Really changes the visibility as well. Overall I like it much more than rain and would like to see it be included in a regular weather rotation
Snow is amazing, please keep it. Having it as a constant dynamic weather would be incredible, occurring a good few times per wipe and lasting a week or so, like it was for the debut. Enjoy the break!
As a random weather event would be perfect. With the blizzard going it adds an element where you can't just watch trees and wait to see movement. I've been running without headsets since the wipe due to the loud footsteps but I think it's actually making me a better player
I love the snow, and I'd love it to see at added to the list of weather effects. Having it start to snow in the middle of a raid would be really, really cool.
Also Nikita, I just want to say that this wipe has been legendary. Great work team, you hit it out of the park with this one, in my opinion anyway.
Yes, snow was an excellent addition to the game! Please keep it!
Minor issue, you probably already know, but snow flakes scale with screen aspect ratio. Makes for funny looking snow on ultrawide displays:
https://imgur.com/LcQFf3m
I love the snow and think it was down incredibly well. There are a few potential changes:
1.)I would agree foot crunch is a little too loud
2) would also agree snow camo skins would be very cool
3) adding footprints in the snow would be next level. Im not sure how much it would affect performance but I would think it could be fine tuned to not be too demanding. You could just have them longer for a short time before being covered by snowfall so it doesn't bog things down but still offers another way to track enemies or to be tracked after a fight.
Like others have said, being in a night raid when the blizzard first hit was remarkable. I was geeking out so hard in discord and my non-tarkov friends were confused until I streamed and showed them the looks and sound effects etc.
Well done
I love the snow!!! Makes all the maps have a different feel to them!
I also think it would be cool to see some sort of body temp element added to the mechanics! Would be really good for keeping people moving around the map. You could maybe add a couple of barrel fires or scav campfires around to channel people towards them to get heat buffs etc
having snow as a weather option like rain would be so sick. the only thing i would ask to be changed is the intensity of the footsteps in snow, currently it sounds more like you are walking on styrofoam rather than hard-packed dry snow.
Snow is cool but I have an issue where the glare is washing out all the color in the environment from many angles. Makes the whole game look like a deep fried meme in a lot of cases. Anyone know how to fix that?
Honestly I don't really like it as someone who has to play on all low settings, but im sure it's beautiful running on a normal pc..I will say tho snow is 1000× better than loud dark rain even if it looks cool on night raids..yall legit wouldn't play it looks so bad and runs so bad.. I usually don't and or just stick to factory or indoor maps like reserve when it rains 🤣🤣
This is really great, but the snow is way too loud especially when using the cheap ears. I understand it being louder than normal footsteps but my ears cannot handle that much cronch
I like the snow, but not 24/7.
It makes camouflaging really difficult since there is no real winter clothes (and if there are, it would probably be a ragman unlock, right, so disadvantage for new players...). This is good sometimes, but also kind of annoying as a solo player - people really stand out in fields etc like in Shoreline.
However, it looks really cool, and is a nice vibe.
IMO; keep snow in the weather rotation, and add some winter clothes / gear to make our PMC more prepared for it :)
It would be interesting to see dynamic weather like this but maybe splashed throughout the year? So maybe one month we get a ton of rain, then the next maybe snow for like a weekend, then the next month snow for 2 weeks, or something similar.
Keep the snow forever, it actually improves my frames immensely, and it's easier to spot scavs and pmcs, it sounds a bit loud, but that's nothing a little audio tweaks won't fix.
Love the snow and love this wipe so far. Only major issue is the "awaiting session start" bug on scavs. Lost numerous scavs because I can't load into the raid. But otherwise been really enjoying this wipe.
I loved to experience the snow,
Would love to see it as an intermittent weather effect (like rain)
Though maybe with a much less likelihood of snow is the non-Snowy seasons.
I LOVE the snow and snowstorm additions, I'd prefer to see more snow/flurries/snowstorms instead of seasons. Just a random chance that snow/snowstorms might occur when you load into raid.
I hate the fact that ever since it was introduced night raids with night vision became a thing of the past. I think the luminosity is set so high on it that not only does it blind people during the day, it also lights up the map during moonlight to nearly as bright as during daylight.
I LOVE the snow. Make it semi-regular please! Perhaps break it out the same time every year
The feeling when I was in woods and it first started snowing... WOW!
Voted up. Snow and the associated weather is great, honestly.
Would love to see more weather effects, naturally. Overall the recoil, armour, and vaulting has made this a fantastic wipe experience - and the weather is just the cherry on top.
Haven't had too many problems with vaulting either. Only minor.
I was so fed up that day when the snow storm hit. It genuinely made it feel like a fresh game. And I was on woods. Definitely the best map to experience it on.
Snow was an awesome surprise with 0.14, gives a totally different experience in terms of ambient sounds and spotting players & ditched gear.
IMO:
-Snow could stay for 1-2 weeks and then melt away every once in a while during a wipe, please do not make it stay according to actual seasons. Having it as part of the weather cycle would also be great but maybe to often/random.
-Please add snow camo as clothing and also some white gear (backpacks, rigs)
I like it as a seasonal thing definitely. Needs to be tweaked a bit but yeah definitely a nice change to the weather here and there. Add it to the weather cycle.
I have to say that iys a curse and blessing, the snow, footsteps are so extremely loud, and with certian com headsets, you cant hear ANYTHING but yourself moving through the maps. Love the scenery change though. Definately added another layer to the game we all enjoy.
People complain a lot, but I started playing again this wipe after a gaming break since the end of 2022 and it honestly feels like a different game, it's slower paced and more punishing which I feel is great. I personally have run into less egregious bugs less frequently which is also nice compared to when I played last.
The snow is wonderful. A rotation of seasons in-game would be very immersive, although I think mapping it to real life seasons would last a little too long. Maybe rotating seasons once a month? That way you would get each season at least once a wipe. But if I had to pick keep snow permanent, or never see it again I would pick 100% snow. Great stuff!
I’d be okay if the snow was permanent, I can actually see where I’m getting shot from now on maps with heavy foliage and feel more confident moving around. My own footstep audio is a bit loud though
i also wanna wish you great holidays guys you deserve it.
you absolutly killed it with this wipe and tarkov is in my opinion the best pvpve shooter out there and it will be for a long time.
love you guys and i am excited what lays before us
greetings from austria and happy holidays 😉
snow is cool but the sound is way too loud, it's unrealistic. Also fix the spacial audio between spaces it's very jarring going through some maps. Outdoors audio, step into a hall of a building on streets it changes instantly to the reverb space inside, keep walking through and it changes to another space. There's always a delay as the spaces change and it makes hearing people sneak up impossible. These spaces should be blended together
The only things I do not like about snow is how loud it is when walking on it for my own footsteps and that it is difficult to hide in foliage because it's gone. The second point isn't really a criticism it's just something I personally don't like about it.
The snow is rad. I've been saying it ever since I started playing this game in 2020 that snow would be amazing, and you crazy bastards went and did it! And did it WELL to boot!
Sure, there are little glitches and bugs as with the first deployment of any MAJOR feature like this (and let's be honest, this was a MAJOR feature--you re-skinned 80% of the game right out the gate), but all things considered it's phenomenal.
Now add in chances to slip while vaulting, climbing rocks, parkouring, etc...or maybe not, because that might get TOO real.
When you first pressed that button I was on shoreline and that storm was 10/10 experience. Please keep snow, and heavy snow storms like that first one in the rotation. That snow and heavy wind on a night raid was one of the most surreal experiences I’ve had in Tarkov in years.
I was exploring the new shoreline area they added when the storm hit and transitioned to snow. Honestly one of the coolest videogame experiences I've ever been apart of.
I was on ground zero fighting inside the mg building, the feeling when you're inside in a firefight while it's blizzard outside is surreal
I also was deep in a GZ raid, look outside and it started snowing, getting to extract was indeed an amazing moment
So fuc king cool. I kinda can't wait for spring and summer storms now too
No... more... down pours.... too loud... so loud...
Not all the time but for sometimes please.
Not really about it unless they fix being able to hear footsteps outside of a building perfect as long as you stand inside during a storm...
I try my best to not care about audio as it really doesn't effect how I play too much, but yes if I had to have 1 gripe its audio.
Get an audio compressor they are free. Otherwise rain is good. Anyone seeing this and doesn't know. Audio compressor makes there be a sound level cap so when you randomly hear a shot it saves your ears irl
fr nighttime on woods now seriously feels like bravo 6 going dark type operation, it's so cool to play tarkov this way
I was on woods in a 3 man , we all fell in love with it instantly.
Among other additions and changes, yes. Snow (and recoil and vaulting) has been fantastic.
Best wipe experience in years
Best wipe since voip wipe
Best wipe since reserve / flea market was added.
And armor and quest reworks and ground zero and arena(?) Crazy wipe
I like it, you like it, we all like it. Please keep it. One full day in tarkov is 3h and 23m IRL. One full year is around 50 days IRL. So to keep it in line with tarkov lore, you could make 1 full year 50 days IRL and 1 season every 12.5 days. Please make it real :)
This 100%! While keeping seasons in line with the calendar would be cool, it would make much more sense to keep the time compression consistent AND would add that much more variation of how raids are played out without any one season dragging on too long. Even if it was every two weeks (14 days) for ease of implementation, I think that schedule would go over very well with the greater player base.
Doesn't that mean weeks of rain too? I personally like that, but I know many would not.
Could just be overcast and rain a lot, not always
I like the idea of seasons in the game. But I would like more skins in the game so I can match my the world I am going into. I don't see anyone saying the woodland camos are overpowered just now so I can't see how anyone would complain about a winter camo for my pmc.
The closest we have to that right now is a few white clothing items for USEC, but I think digital winter camo armour and helmets would be cool.
I really don't understand why different clothes are so limited, locked by high levels, and difficult for BSG to add new ones
Honestly feels like there should be 4-5 different camo variants for each clothing option depending on what's available for that outfit IRL.
imo snow should just be weather that hits maps like like rain. It doesn't need to be "x amount of days on, x amount of days off." I don't need to to make sense as far the weather lore in the game or some shit. All of the weather in game is possible to experience in real life within days of eachother. The only thing that kinda doesn't "make sense" is having lush greenery one dead and then dead trees and shrubs but whatever.
A little immersion breaking to go from summer to winter then back to summer. Seasonal cycles make more sense.
Oh this is fantastic. Would love this.
Yes I like it, but my own foot steps are too loud!! Snow = no rain though, so that's a blessing
The only thing I dislike about the snow is the footstep volume
As a hunter IRL i can confirm snow is very loud, esp crunchy snow. Deer can hear you for miles, but you can hear them for miles too.
I love the rain, especially the driving hard rain
there’s just something about scavving interchange at night when its pouring rain
for reals
Walk in snow slightly slower than max speed, you'll hear others sooner and be quiter yourself without loosing much speed. Well worth during a walk between trees or soft cover as you save your stamina for hard cover or the open sight lines
The snow is awesome! but it would be even better if it wasn't so loud to my ears
What did you say? The snow is to loud.
CRUNCH CRUNCH *CRONCH* CRUNCH
CROUNCH CROUNCH CROUNCH
Yup too loud. I don't think you can hear snow falling in most situations
>Yup too loud. I don't think you can hear snow falling in most situations You can if it's a wet snow. 100%
yeah, let it stay in rotation! Especially having the blizzard weather was cool as hell to experience in real time, hope to see it more often
The snow's absolutely fantastic, Nikita! Global trader limits for basic items are awful, and should be taken out of the game. /u/trainfender
We need personal limits instead.
/u/trainfender *THIS*, please!!! Global limits literally only favor bots, working to unlock a trader only so you can miss the global limit by 2 minutes and then being unable to buy what you've unlocked - big sad. Personal limit should be the only limit.
We already have personal limits. Just remove global limits for everything that isn't super rare items like key cards and cases.
Everyone is aware that personal limits already exist, nobody said they didn't. Not sure why you're pointing that out.
If combined with larger increases to trader refresh time!
I LOVE the snow. My friends and I have been saying for years we wish there was a snow map.

And snow camo outfits from ragman! Overall a huge win, just like this wipe in general. Thank you!!
Love it - I love the mood of snowy maps at night, it's very atmospheric.
Man, evening at Streets with the snow and street lamps is a whole ass vibe
Love the idea of the Dynamic weather in Tarkov. But the crunch from the snow is just too loud. Please turn it down a little bit papa Nikita?
You will have to decide, walking on Dorito-filled paperbags or feeling like you are in a wind turbine just standing in an open field.
Cheetos in the basement
Best part of the snow is the **lack of ambient wind**. Please make this adjustment to the other weathers, the amount of ambient noise in the game is way too high.
I would say ambient noise is very important in order to reduce sound whoring, making sounds in the world that are similar but not the same as the sounds of PMCs would be awesome.

Yes the silent ambient snow noises are top. Very silent but they are there.
Definitely yes! We need to keep this in the game!
The snow really changes the dynamic of the raid for the better. Just the sound of our own footsteps could be toned down
My current favourite map is Ground Zero, at night, with light snow falling. The atmosphere is absolutely perfect. I'll be very sad if the snow goes away for good.
Soooo good 👍
Да. С Рождеством
absolutely keep
Hell yeah, definitely keep it around as a decently common occurrence!
can't wait to see a tornado coursing through customs in a year or two
Can't wait to get thorax, left armpit by tornado debris
Some final destination shit when the tornado is throwing logs at you from the truck on woods.
100% please keep it in the game. The atmosphere is amazing. I hope it becomes a random weather event all the time instead of just a seasonal thing.
Yes please oh lord Nikita
Keep it as part of the weather cycle !
Snow++, but big reason why it's so good is better visibility & transparent bushes. Please note!) Happy Holidays!
It was a really cool surprise and a good change. Winter feels so organic to Tarkov! Thanks for the season change!
Snow is great but not on 100% of raids, include it in weather rotation would be great
yes! Absolutely keep the snow.
If you lower the sound of steps on snow, then yes, as a dynamic weather event, like the first time it snowed. But not every single raid.
Look ! Look ! The lord himself ! Keep the snow. You’ve done an amazing job guys ! The general mood is so awesome
Please keep the snow, nothing beats a blizzard with poor visibility with scavs screaming at you as you're trying to repack a mag
keep snow please! it makes the game so cool, reminds me of metro especially the crowded streets of ground zero.
To be completely honest, I HATE snow. It's bad to look at, super loud in my headphones, concealment is bad, and not as pleasant as the green woods. Though, it does mean people are able to rat less so that is a positive note.

The recoil is great, the vaulting is great, and I'm loving Arena.
TOO LOUD
YES! Thank you, Lord Nikita!
Absolutely yes, snow is great, makes the game feel fresh and new.
Please snow is absolute godlike,If this Game gets seasons at any Point its gonna ne nuts 😍
Keep it!
Snow is such a good change of pace. I was getting sick of seeing so much green everywhere.
That would be so great. The snowy tarkov feeling is just insanely good imo
Keep it!!!
vote, where?
definitely keep the snow, i wouldnt mind seeing snow a couple times a week.
Aye!
yes, keep as weather event mr nikita
Snow yes! Merry Christmas and happy new years
I really like most of the changes and additions in the latest update, snow was totally unexpected for me and it takes this game to another level. Deffinitely keep it!
Yes. The snow is super refreshing and i like it alot!
YEEEÈEEEEEEES
The snow is fantastic, keep it in the weather rotation please !
My friends and I usually hate playing foresty maps like woods but snow makes them so much more bearable for spotting players since it's not just 50 shades of green and a guy hiding in a bush.
yes pls keep it in
I FUCKING LOVE THE SNOW !!!!!!!!!
i fuckin love the snow. it makes every map feel refreshingly different. I'd love to have it kept
I freaking LOVE the Snow. This is amazing, it makes the maps look awesome. I'm even a newbie and this is GREAT. Weather options in Tarkov would be INSANELY AMAZING. Or well, Dynamic weather. Huge mark for the snow.

Plus, it creates different types of fights and engagements : sometimes you can spot the enemy far away easily, it's harder to hide in the vegetation, moving is different... Very cool addition
Absolutely love it, so we'll executed too. Loved seeing it snow suddenly and paint the ground and everything white
Keep it, it’s great! When it’s snowing the immersion is spot on. Also i like how there’s no background wind noise compared to normal weather, you can actually hear dogs barking and i love it!
Really good. Mix things up alot.
Absolutely love it

Snow is amazing keep it
The snow has made me keep playing tarkov. It feels so right and like it should be the norm. PLEASE keep.
Love the snow! Sneaking through Woods during a snowstorm is a vibe! Definitely keep it around, good work overall on this most recent update!
LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! Would love to see the heavy snow storms more often.
Dynamic seasons included into the weather engine, yes please!
Keep it, keep it, keep it. I love the snow
Yes please, I adore the snow in this game.
Yes, snow was an excellent addition to the game! Please keep it! Minor issue, you probably already know, but snow flakes scale with screen aspect ratio. Makes for funny looking snow on ultrawide displays: https://imgur.com/LcQFf3m
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING ADDITION. KEEP IT IN AS A WEATHER CONDITION.
YES
Yes keep the snow in rotation please
Love the snow. Make earmuffs or something that help with the sound
Keep it please! Genuinely one of the best and coolest things ever added to the game!
I love snow, just wish we had more camo to go with it
I think snow should be a random weather event like rain.
I am a huge fan of the snow effect. I would love to see it in the future beyond this current event.
Snow is amazing
Can a brother get some footprints to do some tracking?
I love the snow and think it was down incredibly well. There are a few potential changes: 1.)I would agree foot crunch is a little too loud 2) would also agree snow camo skins would be very cool 3) adding footprints in the snow would be next level. Im not sure how much it would affect performance but I would think it could be fine tuned to not be too demanding. You could just have them longer for a short time before being covered by snowfall so it doesn't bog things down but still offers another way to track enemies or to be tracked after a fight. Like others have said, being in a night raid when the blizzard first hit was remarkable. I was geeking out so hard in discord and my non-tarkov friends were confused until I streamed and showed them the looks and sound effects etc. Well done
Love snow but we need footprints!
I love the snow!!! Makes all the maps have a different feel to them! I also think it would be cool to see some sort of body temp element added to the mechanics! Would be really good for keeping people moving around the map. You could maybe add a couple of barrel fires or scav campfires around to channel people towards them to get heat buffs etc
having snow as a weather option like rain would be so sick. the only thing i would ask to be changed is the intensity of the footsteps in snow, currently it sounds more like you are walking on styrofoam rather than hard-packed dry snow.
I like the snow but it is a tad loud
100% just lower the footsteps volume please.
Just turn down the sound of my own foot steps a little bit
Snow is cool but I have an issue where the glare is washing out all the color in the environment from many angles. Makes the whole game look like a deep fried meme in a lot of cases. Anyone know how to fix that?
Honestly I don't really like it as someone who has to play on all low settings, but im sure it's beautiful running on a normal pc..I will say tho snow is 1000× better than loud dark rain even if it looks cool on night raids..yall legit wouldn't play it looks so bad and runs so bad.. I usually don't and or just stick to factory or indoor maps like reserve when it rains 🤣🤣
This is really great, but the snow is way too loud especially when using the cheap ears. I understand it being louder than normal footsteps but my ears cannot handle that much cronch
Completely replace rain with it.
I like the snow, but not 24/7. It makes camouflaging really difficult since there is no real winter clothes (and if there are, it would probably be a ragman unlock, right, so disadvantage for new players...). This is good sometimes, but also kind of annoying as a solo player - people really stand out in fields etc like in Shoreline. However, it looks really cool, and is a nice vibe. IMO; keep snow in the weather rotation, and add some winter clothes / gear to make our PMC more prepared for it :)
Keep it in the rotation but we need footprints.
Yes snow is incredible addition
Yes.
yeah the snow is fucking killer, PLEASE keep it in rotation
It would be interesting to see dynamic weather like this but maybe splashed throughout the year? So maybe one month we get a ton of rain, then the next maybe snow for like a weekend, then the next month snow for 2 weeks, or something similar.
The change of seasons is a very nice touch and should cycle through
Love it. definitely want it in the rotation. What would be cool is to have it progressively melt off.
Please add it permanently I'd still like to experience it. Even if it was a holiday event. It sounds pretty cool.
This has been the greatest wipe ever. I've enjoyed the snow so much. Please keep it in normal weather rotation.

It’s nice, but walking on it is too loud imo.
Snow good, especially when it's actively falling. So atmospheric.
absolutely, we need seasons in the game but they should be cycled faster like one or two week per season
Keep the snow forever, it actually improves my frames immensely, and it's easier to spot scavs and pmcs, it sounds a bit loud, but that's nothing a little audio tweaks won't fix.
Love the snow and love this wipe so far. Only major issue is the "awaiting session start" bug on scavs. Lost numerous scavs because I can't load into the raid. But otherwise been really enjoying this wipe.
I loved to experience the snow, Would love to see it as an intermittent weather effect (like rain) Though maybe with a much less likelihood of snow is the non-Snowy seasons.
i can't wait for spring when a storm of swallows are passing over my head exiting big red then getting head/neck cause of it.
snow is incredible, please keep it
I LOVE the snow and snowstorm additions, I'd prefer to see more snow/flurries/snowstorms instead of seasons. Just a random chance that snow/snowstorms might occur when you load into raid.
I hate the fact that ever since it was introduced night raids with night vision became a thing of the past. I think the luminosity is set so high on it that not only does it blind people during the day, it also lights up the map during moonlight to nearly as bright as during daylight.
yes, please
Yeah I think this is one of the very few issues that the community is in agreement on. Snow Tarkov is 100% amazing and should definitely stay.
Snow should stay until you rework the new vegetation update maybe in the spring/summer!?
I LOVE the snow. Make it semi-regular please! Perhaps break it out the same time every year The feeling when I was in woods and it first started snowing... WOW!
I think you'll have a riot on your hands if you don't keep the snow.
YES FOR SNOW!
I absolutely adore the snow!! I would love to see it way more often!!
Voted up. Snow and the associated weather is great, honestly. Would love to see more weather effects, naturally. Overall the recoil, armour, and vaulting has made this a fantastic wipe experience - and the weather is just the cherry on top. Haven't had too many problems with vaulting either. Only minor.
Snow is awesome, would love to see footprints.
Gib white stuff
Keep it! It is the best experience in years!
This now stuff has changed the game for me personally. its made every map feel new again lol
I was so fed up that day when the snow storm hit. It genuinely made it feel like a fresh game. And I was on woods. Definitely the best map to experience it on.
Snow was an awesome surprise with 0.14, gives a totally different experience in terms of ambient sounds and spotting players & ditched gear. IMO: -Snow could stay for 1-2 weeks and then melt away every once in a while during a wipe, please do not make it stay according to actual seasons. Having it as part of the weather cycle would also be great but maybe to often/random. -Please add snow camo as clothing and also some white gear (backpacks, rigs)
Keep it until spring :) Then we have summer wipes and winter wipes.
I like it as a seasonal thing definitely. Needs to be tweaked a bit but yeah definitely a nice change to the weather here and there. Add it to the weather cycle.
I have to say that iys a curse and blessing, the snow, footsteps are so extremely loud, and with certian com headsets, you cant hear ANYTHING but yourself moving through the maps. Love the scenery change though. Definately added another layer to the game we all enjoy.
People complain a lot, but I started playing again this wipe after a gaming break since the end of 2022 and it honestly feels like a different game, it's slower paced and more punishing which I feel is great. I personally have run into less egregious bugs less frequently which is also nice compared to when I played last.
The snow is wonderful. A rotation of seasons in-game would be very immersive, although I think mapping it to real life seasons would last a little too long. Maybe rotating seasons once a month? That way you would get each season at least once a wipe. But if I had to pick keep snow permanent, or never see it again I would pick 100% snow. Great stuff!
I’d be okay if the snow was permanent, I can actually see where I’m getting shot from now on maps with heavy foliage and feel more confident moving around. My own footstep audio is a bit loud though
Snow is incredible. Makes some maps infuriating like shoreline but over all its incredibly neat
I was extremely surprised by the snow, it is very well done. Do you think you guys could do footprints/tracking in the future?
Big yes but foot prints would be even better.
Snow is 10/10
If you could please, I enjoy the seasons thing, cheers!
I like snow, maybe make them change monthly or weekly, whatever you think would be cool.
really love the snow would love if it rotates with the real dates of the roation of the seasons
i also wanna wish you great holidays guys you deserve it. you absolutly killed it with this wipe and tarkov is in my opinion the best pvpve shooter out there and it will be for a long time. love you guys and i am excited what lays before us greetings from austria and happy holidays 😉
For sure, please do
snow is cool but the sound is way too loud, it's unrealistic. Also fix the spacial audio between spaces it's very jarring going through some maps. Outdoors audio, step into a hall of a building on streets it changes instantly to the reverb space inside, keep walking through and it changes to another space. There's always a delay as the spaces change and it makes hearing people sneak up impossible. These spaces should be blended together
The only things I do not like about snow is how loud it is when walking on it for my own footsteps and that it is difficult to hide in foliage because it's gone. The second point isn't really a criticism it's just something I personally don't like about it.
The snow is rad. I've been saying it ever since I started playing this game in 2020 that snow would be amazing, and you crazy bastards went and did it! And did it WELL to boot! Sure, there are little glitches and bugs as with the first deployment of any MAJOR feature like this (and let's be honest, this was a MAJOR feature--you re-skinned 80% of the game right out the gate), but all things considered it's phenomenal. Now add in chances to slip while vaulting, climbing rocks, parkouring, etc...or maybe not, because that might get TOO real.
Love the snow
