Tarkov’s Hardcore Wipe is Brutal; Everyone Should Play it
(Intro) Tarkov’s hardcore wipe is officially out, and it’s brutal. Like, I didn’t think it would be this challenging. And yet, at the same time, it’s awesome, and everyone who enjoys this game needs to try this wipe. I mentioned this in the initial video going over the fact the wipe would be hardcore, that this is going to completely shake up the formula we’ve all come to know and love. Or hate, depending on who you are. It’s such a different experience knowing how much has changed, and everything else that wasn’t even detailed in the three pictures BSG posted last week. But we’re here now and it’s been a couple of days. So, let’s go over some general thoughts and impressions on this wipe so far, what has been the most fun or exciting, what has created some problem points and whether or not this idea was even worth it in the first place.

FEEDING THE DUNGEON
Looking at the majority of monsters in RPGs, Shadowdark included, quickly shows that the vast majority are predators, designed to be obstacles to heroes in the game. Plunge into the deep, dark realms under the ground, away from the sun, suddenly normal plants cannot grow, and there are no herbivores. So what do all of the predators eat when there are no adventurers wandering around waiting to be devoured by monsters? This can be handwaved as just a part of the game, or it can be used as a driver for the design of new creatures.

The Best Guide to Run Goddess Team Lineup & Valkyrie Tier List
The core gameplay of Run Goddess is to cultivate Valkyries and use the synergy between different Valkyries to defeat enemies or achieve a higher ranking. There are some recommended lineups in the game, which provide a good idea, that is, it is not necessarily the case that the rarer the Valkyries, the more powerful they are. Valkyries of different rarities can also produce magical effects through combination. Of course, if the single buff data is considered, there is indeed a certain gap between different tiers. This guide lists the recommended team lineups and Valkyrie tiers.

The Most Powerful Location in Tarkov Right Now
(Intro) Customs is currently home to arguably the most powerful location to hang around in the entire game. With the release of the small expansion earlier this year, it allows players to cut through the railroad tracks that overlook the new gas station and opens a brand-new building with multiple levels, tons of vantage points, and places to provide overwatch for your teammates should the situation dictate that style of play. It has become quite a popular location for all players because since it has released, most of my engagements with other players has been in or around this new building, which has been dubbed by some, the PvP building. On top of that, it’s generally center location across the map means that noise anywhere else can be rotated to with ease, making it a popular choke point for those that want to be in a dominate position to third party other fights going on across Customs. It’s just an awesome spot on the map that’s both new so people want to check it out, but with lots of different sight lines and angles that are beneficial if you take advantage of them. Of course, all of this has come at quite a cost: the performance across most areas of the map have taken a significant hit, and Customs is now probably one of the worst performing maps in the game. Either way, it feels like we haven’t had this powerful of a spot in the game since maybe D-2 being introduced. So, let’s go over what makes this new spot so strong, what the pros and cons to being there are, and the unfortunate sacrifice some players had to make for this location.

Over the course of the last week, BSG has put out three different pictures explaining the incoming changes to better prepare players for what they will need to adjust to when the time to wipe finally hits. Today, we will be going over each picture and each change within them to figure out what the general gameplan should be for jumping into the final wipe before 1.0. And of course, just giving general thoughts and impressions about these ideas as they are written.
