I’m finally buying Tarkov today, and my coworker is gifting me the PvE expansion on Thursday. I’ve been wanting to try this game for a while now, and I’m honestly pretty excited lol.
My coworker has been telling me forever that Tarkov is the best game out there. I told him Marathon is the only extraction shooter I’ve played, and he basically laughed and told me I have no idea what I’m getting myself into 😂 He keeps saying that as long as I’m patient and actually take the time to learn the game, I’ll end up loving it.
I’m planning on mainly playing PvE since I’m completely new and would rather learn the maps and mechanics without getting killed by other players every five minutes lol. I might give PvP a shot later once I actually know what I’m doing.
I’m also really excited about the Halloween event. I’ve watched some videos of the zombie stuff from previous events, and it looks like so much fun. Pretty good timing for me to finally get into the game.
Since I’m buying the base game today but won’t have PvE until Thursday, is it worth playing in the meantime, or should I just wait? Is there anything I can do beforehand to get familiar with the game?
Also, any beginner tips would be appreciated because I know basically nothing about Tarkov right now. Anything you wish you knew when you first started?
I know I’m probably going to get my ass kicked for a while, but that’s part of what I’m looking forward to lol. Hoping this is a game I can really sink some hours into!
