I Quit Tarkov To Play This Instead

EFT will ban you for playing offline, but they can't ban hackers from ruining online experience.

Escape from Tarkov was made for Survival, Gunfights and Roleplaying. Now it's becoming a Game of Clutching and Being Competitive.

They would make a ton making a single player tarkov

Now if you could play this with friends it would be super fun and immersive. I love tarkov but sometimes it would be nice to play a more relaxed setting without other players to worry about and just get immersed and have fun with friends

Every game should have a single-player/offline option like this. It's a great way to learn the game at your own pace and it let's the game live forever without interference from cheaters or devs

I'm about 40 hours into single player tarkov and it's amazing. I can customize my experience, and finally I cam make progress. I only ever get to like level 14 before wipe cuz I suck and don't have the time or patience to play live tarkov like that. In SPT I'm almost level 20 and have a ton of loot and equipment I could never dream of in main tarkov, and doing quests I've never even seen before. I still die, just not as often :) This is the tarkov experience I've been needing

I haven't played EFT for I think 3 years now. I agree with you the game has more of this competitive atmosphere rather than the realistic tactical survival game they wanted to convey back then. I'm just not interested with how it is right now, especially with the rampant cheaters.

i purchased it but it was not what i was expecting, this single player mod is what i imagined the game was supposed to be like!

I loved everything about Tarkov. The healing, the exploring, looting, weapon customization, tactical feel of it....just not the PVP. I would be much more interested in a single player Tarkov.

I'm so glad I found this video. I'm a Dad with two young kids and I've always been really interested in EFT, but the truth is I simply could never dedicate the amount of time to it. This is an awesome alternative. Thanks for sharing this.

the reason why BSG doesnt want this to be advertised isnt because of cheaters but purely because it shows their incompetence to develop proper stuff and include it into game working.

Started this last week. Just as challenging as online, bot AI is surprisingly sneaky at times and really catches me off guard. And I definitely get tarkoved once in a while. But I don't run into cheaters. I don't have to deal with netcode. I can play how I want.

Channel getting strike in 3... 2... 1...

I've also moved over playing Single Player Tarkov exclusively since discovering the mod. It's such a great experience.

BSG has tendency of taking down EFT SP videos, so I would not surprised if this video going to get removed soon. I have played EFT SP extensively and almost as much as I have played EFT, so I have 5000 hours in game and another ~4000 in SP. And here is the thing - I enjoy SP more. There are no wipes, there are no desyncs, you don't need to worry about cheats, don't need to worry about being ambushed 5:1 when solo and if you are really in the tarkov more for the story, than for pvp, then EFT SP is actually better. That is before we even consider a lot of quality of life improvements, bugs that exists in the game fixed, new story line, map to map travel etc. Honestly like 50% of of the bugs in EFT are fixed in SP and as well, 50% of content that is planned in real game is already implemented in SP. On top of that you can actually pick an choose mods you want so you can tailor the experience the way you like. Simply said - I hate PVP, I never wanted PVP, all I wanted is survival game where I can play "smart" and don't need to worry about chad train running me over before I can get to quest location. THE ONLY issue in EFT SP is that there is no CO-OP and devs staid there will never be (I believe this is to please BSG not to issue cease and desist on them). If there would be CO-OP, I would never comeback to Tarkov. Because in SP, when you shoot you hit, you will never die behind the wall, you will never die to cheater, maps loads so much quicker and performance is so much better, but just the feeling of 0ms delay is something else, when you come back to the real game the delay is very noticeable. So if you tired of EFT non-sense, but still want to play the game SP is definitely highly recommended. P.S. - yes flea was fully working in 12.12 SP with both sell and buy, and it get's the prices from Tarkov Market API, so they are the real prices of real game. Not sure how exactly selling works. Maybe when in real game the item price goes above the price you listed for it get's auto sold in SP, but flea works quite well.

Not sure if I remember correctly, but I think nikita said they will introduce actual armor plates in ballistics vests / carriers. SPT already has a working armor plate mod now. The biggest reason I like SPT is that its "mod" attribute allows me to fully customize my experience in various ways. From small changes such as working insurance in Labs to big overhauls such as the armor plate mod and re-balanced recoil and ballistics system.

I've been playing spt way more lately. It's so much fun, lots of cool mods, way to skip the same stupid quests and grind at times too. This wipe I quit at level 14 I just couldn't face going through it all again.

I've been playing SPT since January 2021 when it was still in it's infancy and I'm amazed at how far it has come looking back on it, the community is ever-growing and the brilliant work being done by the mod creators is fantastic! I recently became a "Helper" for newer players to SPT, basically helping people setup their game and/or any issues they may come across, the influx of newer players is insane but with this comes A LOT of toxicity and/or confusion. People are disgruntled understandably at Live Tarkov but then they have the nerve to come to SPT and spread this negativity, it's disgusting behaviour. The biggest worry I have about the project is the fact that it will gain more traction for popularity, the negativity that comes with it becomes so overbearing and then BSG smashes the hammer down on it all, basically flatlining it. I do have a seeking suspicion something like this will happen because I have seen people post on Reddit directly asking BSG and Nikita about SPT and whether or not they can monetise it! Like wtf. If BSG do smash the hammer down on SPT because people are constantly putting it in the firepit I'm completely done with Tarkov. It's sad to see what this game has turned in too and SPT has been a stepping stone to distance myself away from Live Tarkov, sadly this stone is sinking I feel. Anyway I just wanted to share my thoughts with you all and if you want any help for setting up SPT message Rad Roach.

The load times for me have been one of the biggest factors for me. On the main game getting into Streets was about a 10min wait, for offline it was 5min. It wasn't nearly as bad for other maps but load times were basically cut in half when offline. So this allows me to actually play the game, and not spend 10min waiting for a match only to be killed from desynch in the first 10 seconds.

I've been a long time fan of EFT and have been playing from the late alpha days of the game but I do have to say that SPT is a nice breath of fresh air and shows what can also be achieved with some minor changes to things such as balancing, visuals etc. that BSG refuses to do. If BSG have the balls to try and shut SPT down and ban the players playing it against the communities wishes, then I myself along many others will be there to revolt. If Nikita wants the hackers and RMTers to be the only players supporting it then we can make that happen.
