Is Ronal turning into a Chad?  Maybe! We discuss how familiarity with maps and certain areas can develop into a hybrid play style and what it means to be comfortable in Tarkov (more conversation on battling gear fear). We talk about different aspects of the budget or economy loadouts - what types of guns should different types of players use?  Should you wear a helmet? Should you use guns you take...

You may have seen DottyHack on twitch, but have you listened to him on the microphone!??!  We got ahold of him to talk for about an hour!  He has ~3 years of Escape From Tarkov experience so we wanted to know more about the history of the game and his streaming career. We learned about his past as a traveling musician in a Metal band.  We talk about his recent partnership status with Twitch! He br...

Dadcaster was the person who took MTB under his wing when he first started and pulled him along. His main Tarkov focus recently has been completing all of the tasks to get the elusive Kappa Container so we couldn’t think of a better person to talk task strategy w...

We talk about our feelings regarding Battlestate’s decision to lower the raid times and then d...

Are games that don’t hold your hand fun?  What about games that don’t even acknowledge that you have a hand and if your hand is so much as spotted by another player or AI you will be shot? How does Tarkov compare to PUBG? Can a punishing game be fun for non-elitist FPS players?  Interestingly enough, Escape from Tarkov is like this, and we really like it so far. We’re enjoying the noob journey, bu...
