There is a ranked mode to grind for rewards and leaderboards. There is also a 4th map teased with a raid boss like event tied to the story. I assume this will involve multiple groups of 3s working to defeat then likely fight each other to see who can claim the loot.
The UI in this is far better than Arcs.
You can buy upgrades that lower the time it takes for loot to populate in menus... but yes, I'm not a fan of that mechanic in these games either.
I don't think it can. But you also don't really need it.
Tutorial is worthless. Just tells you how to loot, shoot, and leave.I just downloaded it and played it for the first time and had a major fail. I started the tutorial and then the controls weren't inverted. Went into the settings to change it (the UI kinda sucks or will take some time getting used to) and changed the settings. Backed out and must of pressed the wrong button and it took me out of the tutorial. Then I couldn't figure out how to access the tutorial in the menu and just went into a match cold and just roamed around the desert like Cain, searching for the burning bush to talk to me and give me guidance. I killed a few bots and then I think I got killed by a player. My teammates didn't seem to know WTF was going on either and were just wondering around as well.
I need to watch some Marathon instructional videos on YouTube, just so that I'm not flailing around like the village idiot.
Am I missing something or can the tutorial really not be played again?
This tripped me up in the first alpha. Once it's active it fires bursts of homing rockets (damage+stun) as as you fire your gun. So if you pop it but aren't shooting your gun it does nothing. I just caught some poor guy swarmed by bots and blasted him with it

I turned down gameplay music to 0.
Uh, well you see, about that
Brah that is the best time to play a live service game!
Then there's me over here killing a runner and forgetting to reload my gun.
This game is fire but its like asking a Tetris world champion to play chess and the only guidance is not to die.
Yeah, download the server slam from your platform. It's free.
It's totally open to download and play on pretty much all platforms, it's very unique visually and pretty much the standard extraction shooter experience.
Cool. I'll give it a shot.
I'm so confused by the ui complaints. I don't know maybe years of mmos and gacha games have prepared me for this.
It hooked me right away wasn't expecting that. The sound world everything is just great and the bots are a challenge unlike arc
Somewhere in the options it lets you select the mic and voice chat output device, so check there if it doesn't work by default.
Hell yeah man. The shitposters have all gone to bed so now the people actually playing the game are mostly loving it.
Hey I'm one of the bigger shit posters and I'm about to give it a go
I haven't had that issue. I could pretty easily tell the difference between runners and UESC and especially between the heavy UESC and regular. The only enemies I could barely ever hear were the little tick guys.
Fucking clankers man.
Me and my buddy that I played tons of Tarkov with tried getting multiple people to play Tarkov and every single person got so annoyed by having to figure out the extractions that none of them stuck with it. It ended up just being me and him.
It should ask you during setup how you want it set up. I think by default it's Y for proximity chat and open mic for team chat.
I was on TV stereo and swapped to my headphones. Issue resolved.
Don't agree with the 2nd point, I think the pacing is good. Firefights are intense but give you a minute to breathe after. I don't need it to be cracked out the whole time
The maps definitely ramp up in intensity. Perimeter seems pretty chill but Dire Marsh kicked my ass immediately. We know from the playtests that Outpost is a clusterfuck too.
im just going in as a rook now, not sure if my VC is working but im trying to communicate and no luck so far
