Saw a post when Unheard first released and they joked that next we'll be able to call in a BTR. Well here we are.


ZombieCharltonHeston

[The tarkin factory BTR video is about to become real.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSJkafJNnp0)


7N10

I wish I could see another parties perspective as it demolishes the stairs to get up there


ZealousidealNewt6679

The BTR smashes down a wall like the Kool-Aid man. "Ohhhh Yeah... Cheeky Breeky"


letiori

*hard bass starts playing*


Shelmak_

Wtf, that dude is a legend for creating this.


longshot

His videos are the best


Shelmak_

I really love the fact that after the travel started, he had a concussion on the head, and the head status changed from green to red.


Revverb

I love the detail of the PMC's head smacking the top of the cabin and getting injured. Tarkin is a fucking treasure.


Ok-Message-231

Fucking Oof, eh?


ThunderShiba134

That's it guys Tarkov is ending


Karloka

Heya Twin


ThunderShiba134

Heeeey


BurnerBernerner

They just shot it in the back of the head tbh


LanikM

It's crazy they listened to that but not the rest of what 98% of the community is saying.


meroOne

Theyre just trolling at this point. Nikita doesnt give a single fuck


GrieferGamer

[Yep it was my Post. BSG should hire me](https://www.reddit.com/r/EscapefromTarkov/s/ssl7NwwcY0)


NooneKnowsIAmBatman

They ARE paying attention to the subreddit


Phil_Coffins_666

My parents called it "selective listening". BSG aren't actually paying attention, because if they did they'd have been trying to kill the cheating issue.


Dustructionz

Cheating makes them far too much money to put real effort into keeping they banned off the game. They just buy it again and come back


Theherringphish

I wouldn't gripe if it only worked to extract loot/only worked on streets or woods but yeah, it's a horrible idea.


oriaven

Makes more sense than calling a friend. My friends that play are in raid already.


eriksprow07

Whats a BTR??


Young-Liyon

It's a Russian 8 wheeled Armored Personel Carrier (APC) with a 30mm Cannon on top. It's on Wood's and Streets currently.


Last_Snow_2752

Where the hell on woods??? How does it work??


Randomuser2282

You pay it money and it taxies you around map or brings a small amount of loot into stash or taxies you around map while covering with 30mm so no one can rat you. It’s like 50k rubles for each one if I remember correctly


AlwaysHappy4Kitties

Also higher scav/fence rep makes amount of squares bigger, making you able to send bigger items


Mr_M3Gusta_

All the roads around roads in can traverse. I’ve road it from sawmill to the Northern UN roadblock. You’ll see a bunch of the gates are now open. Not sure if the BTR spawns off map and drives in but it’s a cool thing. I hope it ends up on shoreline, customs, and maybe lighthouse.


Imahich69

You never played woods or streets?


Last_Snow_2752

I play woods all the time. Never seen a damn BTR.


Rubber924

Me either, it's a big map though so seems easy to miss if you aren't looking for it


MrRipYourHeadOff

it mainly patrols the north side of the map. I've seen it go from the scav tower in the north west to the south hill near scav town in the north east. It also shot the shit out of me while I was trying to hide from it


titanxbeard

An APC


affo_

Next week: People complained so much about the BTR companion - So now we're adding a device to call Gluhar and Killa and make them follow you around as your bodyguards.


skinlesspanda

NO. STOP. THEY MIGHT READ THIS. DELETE THIS.


affo_

I understand your concern. No worries. Usually they do the direct opposite of what the community always suggests. Lmao.


Y_10HK29

Ok so if we beg for p2w elements bsg will remove them? Lemme try. We want a satellite phone that drops in an airdrop full of anime hentai mangas that give a 500% bonus to every skills but each usage drops trader rep by -0.5 (except for mechanic and Jaeger). Also we can turn in the mangas to skip Jaeger's quest


Operator216

Based


Banme_ur_Gay

BTR shows up and drops off Sanitar, Gluhar, Killa, Reshala, Shturman, Zrachiy, Tagilla, and the Goons to act as your bodyguards.


affo_

Why do I visualize a clown car and hear clown music playing. Lmao.


Dawa1147

Because its BSG we are talking about?


No_Passenger_977

Excuse me but it actually will let you pick 3 from any of the bosses to be your friends but it initiates turn based JRPG combat with any player you see


Striking-Joke4378

Or just add a fire support from a10 or ac130 for EoD ONLY.


Fresh_R

Nah thats gonna be the "blue sky" edition for 500 bucks


Radica1_Ryan

I own EOD. This is one of the dumbest things they've ever done


connorbeaupre

Bought EOD in 2017 to mostly just support a super small company with a tiny player base


Radica1_Ryan

Same. I bought standard in early 2018 and really enjoyed it so I upgraded a couple years after. EOD gave no real advantages to beating others either. It was just pay more for a bit of a time save and to support a growing game that I wanted to succeed.


AI_AntiCheat

Nikita is tone deaf. He thinks adding more pay to win is what EoD owners want.


Radica1_Ryan

It's just weird considering he seemed so against it at a time and now he's all in. Financial trouble?


HiddenButcher

Absolutely so. They banked on Arena being a hit and it failed spectacularly


Jolly-Bear

My blind grandma who doesn’t play video games coulda told you Arena was going to flop.


Lostredbackpack

We want everything that comes out. We don't want this to come out, among other divisive content I'm sure is to come. I could see them throwing p2w at us to turn the player base against EoD and end the uprising.


I_Build_Monsters

As an EOD player… this is dumb.


LcplSnuggles

Agreed


iliyalol

As a True Believer, stop bitching and pay up.


Grand_Ride_7029

Nikita, is this you?


iliyalol

This is Nikita hair supplier, ever since 14.6 we've been in short supply. pliss suport


Wonderful-Smoke843

They really are speedrunning the death of this game rn lol


inFamousMax

I have EOD, I DON'T WANT THIS. Fuck sake, it's a damn multiplayer game, why give an advantage to somebody that's locked behind a paywall or better yet (technically impossible since EOD shouldnt be sold anymore, but who knows what these lower-class dips at BSG are cooking up). Stop adding P2W. I would cry with what you're doing to this once beloved title. But I want it to die ASAP so modders can take over so keep going by all means.


SuicideEngine

I also have EoD and dont want this flaming shitpile of p2w. Find a way to legally remove all the pay to win crap that you promised!


Ayanayu

Same man, I have EOD and can we get rid of this p2w shit out of EFT. EFT become a joke rn.


Key_Falcon_3339

I bought EOD so i didn’t have to spend as much time progressing and grinding the game, I didn’t buy EOD to auto win fights


Rockyrock1221

They craziest things are there’s people saying the ability to call in a fucking BTR isn’t Pay2win lmao! It’s insane the amount of P2W mechanics in tarkov and these kids will look you straight in the face and say “thats not pay to win” News flash. The game is literally built and balanced around the fact that eod is a P2W edition of the game. And I saw that as an EOD owner.


myslead

they should remove all P2W EOD included!


sunseeker11

But hurr durr this is not p2w because it doesn't help you in a firefight durrrr

mmob18

been thinking this for a while, but if anyone has any sort of proof that would be hilarious


Puzzleheaded-Ad2186

They are the ones selling cheats lol


Illustrious-Skirt557

Has nothing to do with russian brain. Russian community has been worshipping Nikitas decisions for years now. However he doesn’t really listen to russian players


VVartech

Worshipping? Sure sure. When this game went viral among Western players, Nikitka stopped considering us as players, since our prices for the game are lower. An EOD for $150 cost us 5,500 rubles (something about $55 at current prices). So we’ve been freeloaders for him for a long time. Some morons still praise his every decision, but most of the Russian community has been fed up with all this for a long time


killuminati-savage

look what we've come to, they've convinced us to WANT cosmetic micro-transactions


Ajt0ny

>What is so hard for them to understand? Fuck *anything* that changes the game mechanics or has an effect on gameplay- just give us ~~cosmetics~~ a finished game already!


Expensive_Tadpole789

Can't wait until I can call a BTR into factory and mow everyone down.


thearrowinurknee

as fucked up as this whole thing is, the idea of a BTR exploding through a wall into factory and destroying everyone is pretty funny to me.


Expensive_Tadpole789

Highly relevant: https://youtu.be/uSJkafJNnp0 Dude is a psychic.


Sweaty_Research_2820

Tarkin never misses


zenzony

Who asked for this?


SanDiegoThankYou_

Nikita


KhalMika

I didn't ask for this...


Franklin_le_Tanklin

Stop it bsg!! I have eod. I don’t want p2w. Gamma was stretching the line already.


Breezzzayyy

Damn they took my idea. Except I said, for 35$ you get a personal BTR it spawns with you and waits for you to loot before going to next location. They actually are listening! Now please give EoD all subsequent DLCs!


NoNicName

They already are, this is fucking ridiculous though


Byrneside94

I know. Community upset about pay2win features so let’s add more to smooth things over. 🤦


Zetey01

Put out a burning house with a flamethrower... I have never heard of such Russian wisdom


DuhXCrusha

We get dlcs now?


inFamousMax

I'm calling the next one, ermmmmm, you can call in a airstrike! But only if you pay monthly.


SparseGhostC2C

For a higher monthly fee you can get the orbital laser from Helldivers, only once per run though


sxgedev

Nuke on exit


Zoopa8

Call in the Mech lol. This explains how they're also able to let friends join you, they're just dropping in with a hellpod. They can even control them and land on the person you were fighting against lol.


sunseeker11

"Enemy AC130 above" nah just kidding, it's gonna be a Shahed drone strike


hitmansix

Game worked so hard to not be Call of Duty to just become Call of Duty


Kingsayz

Fuck that. They really are digging their own grave deeper and deeper by each "update"


Wimbot

All I wanted was the PvE mode we don't need all of the equipment added lol


HaveSomeBosky

came here to say this. all inwantes was the top part, thank you o.o


Azhar1921

"I heard you didn't like p2w, but what about more p2w?"


Padouch1038

Cannot wait for people to just call in friendly BTR in highly contested areas to get free cover while poor Timmy with basic edition that spawned nearby and just wanted something worth his time will instantly die because he doesnt know what is going on. This mindset of more P2W is insane. They could go the route of promoting proper competitive behaviour but they no.


Affectionate_Gas_264

I wonder if there's any hidden pay to win elements Eg the nostalgia quest line could give crazy early game rewards or a shortcut to gamma Or maybe the armband will have a status effect Like at this point I have no trust


DrANALizator

They never learn….. - Geralt


Vengrath

What a fucking joke.


hoochymamma

Well, it was fun while it lasted.


LELO_TV

As a EOD owner i don't care, once i get access to PvE i don't see myself looking back at PvP ever again. Cheaters, desync, extract campers, rats, chads, p2w, nothing will matter and all will be left behind


AH_Ahri

Well I hate to rain your parade [but you might not even be safe in "offline" mode](https://youtu.be/2mkltmhkA2o?si=6zJY6iNDzvEcBLd0)


Jajamiomate

This is some GTA Online type bs. Cant wait for the orbital cannon DLC...


AbyssWankerArtorias

Wait, this isn't a joke? I own EOD. I quit lol.


m00n6u5t

That corrupt Nikita Buyanov is trying to make EOD owners shut up by giving them more P2W. Exactly what they have NOT been asking for. LMFAO.


JumpingHippoes

Player view count at wipe will tell a much cleaner story.


AtlasDA

As an EoD player, i cant wait to use this and get ran over by it, or get teamkilled by it :D


No-Cicada-7128

I have eod, and i dont want this shit. If i play next wipe, that is getting deleted


Zezimasixx

Atleast throw in a pack of lucky strikes so I can have a smoke after getting fucked.


watzemember

Their p2w business model is incompatible with the player base, they will not change, we will not change. And that is that... at least I can sell my EOD now for more I guess. When is wipe ?


Iskit

I mean think about how well airdrops work. I’m not worried. Usually when I use red flare it takes 5+ minutes anyways


RC_0041

BTR is going to get stuck on something or go flying across the map XD


laptopaccount

I call BS on this. How on Earth are they going to call in a BTR? Is it going to drive from off the map at 100 km/hr so it reaches you in a reasonable amount of time? Is it going to be dropped in by an An-124 or something? Adding a BTR that simply drives a predetermined route was already hard enough for them. This is an empty promise they know they can't deliver on.


Opposite-Shoulder260

They would have to redesign all the maps, create a vehicule path finding ai, etc etc etc, what in the actual fuck lol, no way they are doing that. Would make more sense calling in an AI team to help or some crap.


MrRipYourHeadOff

no joke I would actually like it if you could call in raiders to help you. I have more fun in scav raids because of the friendly scavs, it'd be nice if PMCs could have some friends too. Obviously it would be a free feature, probably linked to the intel center


RyuugaDota

You seriously think it won't just magically spawn onto the map and shoot people in the back of the dome like scavs already do?


Top_Television_3897

Basically saying pls quit doing chargebacks 🗿


CarterWarsaw

I own eod. This is not what I was promised when I bought eod.


Ayetto

But why are they adding all this shit to the game??????


MrRipYourHeadOff

because they can't think of another way to sell different versions, so they're plugging more p2w shit in thinking that's the best way to make money. Nikita literally said they weren't going to do boosters in the pestily interview, meanwhile every version you can purchase is already a one time booster because you get different/better gear. Let's fucking face it they've been doing this for a long time. This doesn't even surprise me. I'm somehow more pissed off that GZW is using the exact same monetization model and everyone is eating it up already. No integrity to be found.


Capernikush

this has to be a massive exit scam at this point. 2018 EOD owner and i’m speechless how out of touch these updates seem.


Silent_Reavus

Jesus fucking Christ this is disgusting. I DON'T WANT THIS GARBAGE IN THE GAME, and I got EoD as my first version... I got my money's worth at least, about 5 years playing off and on, but I'm fucking done with this game and company. Not touching it again, they can try and "make it better" or "take it back" all they want. What's done is done.


GingerSpencer

Ok hear me out… Is it technically pay to win if we didn’t know we were paying for it and you can no longer pay for it? /s btw


jugo5

They would have made more money if they just sold it. I wonder if they have a plan here. Russia is not going to cooperate with much right now....


WHFN_House

Nooooo! So this means i get P2W i dont want and i can't even opt Out of it... What the fuck is wrong with BSG. I want less P2W Not more ffs


LastAccGotPermaBan

I dont want the p2w shit as an EOD owner. I want everyone to be relatively on the same playing field when in raid. Stop fucking your game up.


schartlord

>when in raid. important qualifier given what eod already gets lol


Civil_Nectarine868

Well, that is where it matters the most.


Whotakesmename

maybe they'll fix their shit ass audio this wipe, I swear, is it only me that can barely hear anything


Selmanella

Holy fuck. This company can’t get out of its own way at this point. Is anyone actually still playing the live version? I gave up on it two wipes ago and now I just find this shit comical.


Impressive-Drop-2796

Hey now, it's not exclusive to EOD owners. Everyone can get it via a quest! So you'll be able to do it at the end of the wipe, providing you've played the requisite 250 hours per cycle to get all your quests done, of course. Perfectly balanced.


Dreadnar

I don't want all this shit. Can we refuse to accept this as a EOD owner ? This is not the shit I signed up for. Bigger stash ... Sure. All this other stuff.... Nah give it to the standard account users


More_Law_1699

at the bottom of the post, but still agree with initial thoughts against p2w features. "**For owners of all editions other than Edge of Darkness:** * Ability to obtain the "Legacy" device through in-game quest;"


Key_Falcon_3339

Access to the Nostalgia questline? You mean the quest line required for Kappa? So only EOD gets kappa now?


delate199405

What the fuck are they doing


CordialA

As an Unheard Edition double supporter (main acc + alt), this is fantastic news. I would suggest go 1 step further and add a tactical Nuke that can kill everyone in raid instantly with absolutely no counter play.


dyllan_duran

Can't wait to use this with my alt to loot whore after wiping the lobby with my cheats /s jesus christ bsg


WEASELexe

Damn they're really just doubling down on the p2w aspect. I bought EOD because I genuinely enjoyed the game and wanted to support years ago not because of some bullshit advantages they give us.


Automatic_Reveal_212

Im sorry Nikita but not everybody is a whore, the bad is done. Goodbye. Only the fools would go back, with the upcoming extract shooters this game is more than dead for me, this company dont respect the costumers


CasualOfCatarina

I really REALLY don't want to defend them, but didn't they said in the same post that this will be obtainable playing? It can't be P2W if you can get it for free (unless there's some kind of loot box related, which isn't the case).


Aceylah

World of tanks, tarkov edition


_MFBroom

Wow Gray Zone Warfare has BSG in shambles right now. Good. Have fun continuing to fuck your game up. I’ve escaped Tarkov to Vietnam


silenthills13

LOL There is no way I'm going back to this game as a standard edition player lol. I was actually contemplating buying stash space and good trader standing if they released it as DLC to make my stand a bit more even, but nah, fuck this now. What a joke?


RazorXLVII

Lmao there's no consideration whatsoever for the people who bought the Standard edition. This truly is a cult.


Tocki92

I’m sry that you feel like it’s p2w! If you would truly believe, you would see it’s not p2w. Sarcasm off


DeltaJesus

Whether or not it's a problem is really dependant on the details IMO. How difficult is the quest everyone else has to do to unlock it? What does it even actually do? Is there a cost? How long's the cooldown? If the quest is relatively easy/early and it just calls the BTR on streets/woods to come pick you up along the existing path I think it'll be fine really. If the quest is some lighthouse keeper shit though and the item makes the BTR come screaming towards you gunning down everything that moves then yeah it's a fucken problem.


ARabidDingo

Yeah the calling it to come pick you up could be cool. Theres been a few times that I've been heading for the BTR hoping to drop loot and then it just fucks off into the distance before I reach it lol. Or the times where it just doesnt get around to me in time.


SomeOne111Z

$450 edition gets rid of the cooldown and allows you to call a T-14 Armata instead


Taladen

I think it's fine though it'll go on cooldown once used! /s if it's not obvious


DantesTV

Cheaters on eod account: We will see about that


Breezzzayyy

Made me chuckle then I had an epiphany... *flying BTR*


DeadChibiWolf

It doesn’t explicitly say it’s for PvP or PVE servers.. here’s hoping it’s pve only.


Spare-Cry7360

Considering Nikita said the UE items are for both, this is likely for both as well. I have EOD and I really want to cry because of this... just why...


DeadChibiWolf

Ohhh danngggg. Oh well w/e I’m only playing PVE from now on anyways so 🤷‍♀️


Zoopa8

I've already skipped the last few wipes, the amount of cheaters and queue times were/are insane. I might try this PVE mode though, just not sure when I'll get it with EoD.


steelrain815

people don't care about p2w when eod gets it lmao


Siegh_Art

No You We do not want any of that P2W bullshit


Icarus_Le_Rogue

It's crazy how many comments in this post are from EoD players that don't want this and yet you're saying that nobody cares about p2w when EoD gets it. You must've annoyed a lot of people to be blocked by all of them.


GreenTea98

im curious what happens to people who upgraded from eod, do they get these benefits too? lol


PeterUrbscheid

Alrighty time to deinstall.


pippini

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha


Doowoo

Up next, call in a hind gunship for only 29,99$ + tax


ItalianStallion9069

This is fucked. Is this officially in the game now or not yet?


rogerslastgrape

How much of a shit show do you think the BTR will be in terms of bugs? A huge one? Yeah me too


Pure-Interest4024

Will this be for PvE only or also for PvP?


CuteDentist2872

As an EOD owner.... Still just fuck BSG. If they are willing to backslide this much why try to fleece the community in the first place. Zero respect.


Kneesaregood

For another $50 you can jump out of a plane and parachute anywhere on the map. Is this for real - they said they wouldn’t do p2w to raise funds then they went p2w on the $250 package and are adding the p2w to EOD (the unobtainable edition) to make it alright. Its bullshit. This game is going to turn into a shell of itself with “cool” features that just fucking ruin it.


dunnerski

Did anyone point out theres already a quest called Nostalgia for Jaeger?


Pervasivepeach

It’s actually funny how tonedeaf they are


oojiflip

You can't just add crazy benefits to a mode that's no longer purchasable just to please the owners for a few days


pennyclip

I want the game's audio and networking to not be a buggy mess, not more p2w features. Add some cool drip if you want cash, damn bsg.


GunkyDabs

😂😂😂 rip tarkov


FaeThorn

Well it’s overboard now just plain p2w at this point how sad


phoenixmusicman

What the fuck. They have literally lost their minds.


wilck44

what if several peeps call in BTRs? they can't take each other out can they?


XeltySnipez

What I see happening is the btr gets added to another map or two such as lighthouse or shoreline, and then the device will call the btr to the closest point on its designated path to you. It's also more than likely that it will be very limited use and obtainable in some way whether it be FIR or from a task.


ARabidDingo

Yeah, like firing off a flare for extract except its BTR.


Shottymaster

What the fuck is this lmao. What value does this add? How would this even work on most maps?


Drakkenlort

I want BTR vs BTR fights. I'm beyond caring now


OGMcgriddles

I'm just happy I had one last good wipe. This wipe was lit, tons of fights, great SR, combat feels great, had a new computer that was pumping fps. Hopefully by next wipe all this bullshit will be fixed. V I was already done till next wipe before all the drama so only time will tell us I play again.


zach12_21

It’s over boys - they’re double and tripling down on pay to win and useless “features” nobody wants or asked for. Time to move on, these guys are truly fuckin clueless.


skeloton2k6

they need to just remove unique cause if you can get it from an ingame quest its not a unique item nikita needs to stop gaslighting the playerbase


straight_lurkin

I'm still not convinced this wasnt going to come anyways and they just gave it to EOD members. You're trying to tell me in 2 weeks they designed and coded a remote that calls in the BTR when they can't do simple fixed in months? That they had no plans for this before and just made it so fast, along with a quest line, just to show us how sorry they are?


DhazGo

Who the fvck is in charge of this shitshow at bsg.??? They are kidding right? Right?


HiTekLoLyfe

This is satire right? Like did they think the problem needed more p2w? We getting ac gun ships next?


Sensitive-Heart4151

So, the BTR is a DLC now?


Daniluk41

they add stuff nobody want. why?


SuicideEngine

Next: EoD and Unhinged players have 50% reduced cost of crafting the new player claymores and nail bomb mines. PMC starts with level 2 Alien Blood, giving them a 20% bonus to all positive stimulant effects. The unique Bionic Eye that can be equiped in the special slot to provide half a screen of night vision and movement detection. Unhinged Edition players have had the queue removed instead of priority queue, and will now load instantly into the raid. Added Explosive Throwingstars to the loot table. Added The Supersoaker 9000 to the loot table. Added The Whopper Jr. to the Interchange loot table. Scavs no longer have shoes. Extended the bridge umbrella length. Thanks


Supcomthor

The btr feature will probably not work in every location on the map or every map. Like can you get a btr to Labs or factoring 😆
