You’re Are Not Alone in Your Tarkov Experiences
(Intro) Tarkov is not an easy game to learn, play, or even experience in 2025. New players in this game feel like a dime a dozen these days. But to my surprise, I tend to see a lot of new players asking questions on the subreddit; trying to figure out the basic mechanics, why certain things about the game do or don’t work. And to their credit, most of them are leaps and bounds ahead of where I was when I started playing. But even veterans of the game; people who have put thousands of hours into the game, we all still run into problems and circumstances that are out of our direct control. And as annoying, frustrating, mald-enducing it can be to play this game and ask almost eight years into development if it will ever get better, there is one silver lining to those of us that still play the game and can find some levels of enjoyment out of it: if something happens to you in or out of raid, just know you are not alone. We have all dealt with the BS that BSG puts us through from time to time. And I can’t speak for anyone else other than myself, but there is a certain level of comfort in knowing that all the issues bugs glitches crashes and the like are experienced by the community at large. As much as we would all love to not even have to deal with them, this is the reality we are currently in. So, the next time you get upset at Tarkov for doing everything you don’t want it to, just know that we all go through the same thing, together at one point or another. I figured it would be interesting to go over some circumstances in the game that had the community calling them at one point getting “Tarkov’d”, and allowing people to hopefully share their experiences with each other so we can all collectively laugh at how ridiculous this game can be sometimes.

Agoston Balogh's Favourite Spells For Making A Bit Of Jink
"It was larceny that got me into magic, that night I stole my future master's grimoire, the huge, bejewelled book in which he kept his spells and lore, and held it for ransom to blackmail him into teaching me how to be a wizard, so it is only fitting that I learned to use magic to improve my larceny. My master, Orban Varazslo, was a powerful wizard, but he appreciated daring, audacity, and cunning, so he decided to take me on as an apprentice instead of blasting me to smithereens with a fireball for daring to blackmail him. I vowed to be worth his trouble, studied hard, and stole from his rivals to help him find their secrets, foil their plans, and gain their wealth. A thief has specific operations that must be done to gain his wealth, and magic can make them easier. Work smart, not hard, I say! You have to find treasure, you have to either convince the owner to give it to you, or you have to break into his home and steal it, and then you have to make sure you get away without being discovered or identified. The right spells can make all of these things easier." --- Agoston Balogh, the Larcenous Wizard

Loot Drop Off Zones in Tarkov – The Missing Ingredient
(Intro) Tarkov does a lot right when it comes to making sure the risk factor of your equipment is high as you enter a raid. Even if you’ve never played, if anyone has ever described the game to you, one mechanic that is always mentioned is that if you taken out by another PMC or AI, you lose your gear. It adds a layer of stress and the constant need to double and triple check your surroundings so that you don’t get ambushed. But what if there was a way to offload items you find in your raids? Those being things spawned into the raid itself, or any gear that was from another player. And not only that, but being able to offload loot and stay in that current raid. It’s an idea that has floated around the community for a long time; I believe many refer to it as “infill”. Where essentially there is a location that allows you to drop a bunch of loot off, whether it’s in a backpack or not, have it sent to your stash but you stay in the raid and continue doing whatever you want to do. It’s not an actual mechanic, but enough has been said about it that a conversation about how this mechanic might work is interesting to me. So today, we’ll be going over theoretical loot drop off points in Tarkov, how they would function, the kinds of locations you’d find them, the drawbacks of adding something like this, and everything in between.

Does Tarkov’s BTR Bring Any Value into the Game?
(Intro) The BTR is one of Tarkov’s most ambitious mechanics to ever be added into the game. Released with patch 0.14 which dropped in December of 2023, the BTR is a self-driving armored vehicle that moves around certain locations that you can enter to either take cover, pay to have items sent to your stash, move you to another part of the map, or to provide covering fire. This whole thing feels like something the modding community for this game would do. And while they have added some impressive mechanics into that version of EFT, for now, we just have the BTR. It’s size imposing for a single soldier, the ability to basically one-shot you with its turret means being in the wrong place at the wrong time can spell immediate doom for your raid. And while the mechanic itself is incredibly interesting, and I can’t imagine how challenging it was to get it added into the game, it also leaves a lot to be desired when you look at it a little deeper. The inaccessibility of it across the entire game, combined with how players can usually just walk past without really acknowledging it, the novelty of the BTR being in the game quickly goes away after seeing it the first couple of times. So today, I wanted to go over the BTR, the mechanics and services it provides, how they could maybe be either improved upon or expanded to see if this mechanic brings any real value into the game. And more importantly, will BSG ever expand on the BTR to give it more functionality.

Agoston Balogh's Favourite Spells for Dragon Hunters
Agoston Balogh was born in a bad part of town and had to live by his wits. But he had plenty of those, plus a lot of charm and nimble fingers. As a street tough, he was the one who came up with the scams and staked out the marks. Well, one day he made a mistake. He planned to lead his gang on a break-in at a fat merchant’s huge house. It was supposed to be a quick raid to grab some jewels and get out. He had peeked through the windows and knew where some treasures resided. He had even conned his way into the house under the pretense of making a delivery so he could look around inside. He picked the lock on a back door used by the merchant’s servants, and he and his gang slipped into the mansion.

Shoreline in Tarkov - What Makes It So Detested by Players?
(Intro) Shoreline is one of the defining maps of the mid-game for EFT. It sits nicely next to Interchange as the two maps that really open up to you once you begin acquiring quests from Peacekeeper and Ragman, respectively. And although the other traders will also provide things for you to do on Shoreline specifically, it’s really Peacekeeper who will send you there again and again; back-to-back. And because of this consistency with going back to the map, players can sometimes feel and overwhelming sense of dread when it comes to completing quests to get off the map. But those negative feelings towards Shoreline go much further than that. Just the structure and layout of the map itself proves to be quite challenging as well as annoying for many. But why? What about Shoreline has ground the gears of so many players for so many years? Today, we will be talking about Shoreline’s design, the different landmarks across it, how it’s evolved over the years and why it’s up there with a map like Lighthouse that have people detest it so much.
