The $250 Unseen Edition should have been unheard.
It’s a bad time to be an Escape From Tarkov fan. Developers BattleState Games announced this week the addition of a newof the extraction shooter, which included a full PvE version of the game, bigger pockets for PMCs in the full version, and an equippable item that will make AI-controlled Scavs less aggressive to players.
BattleState Games initially denied the new mode was DLC and tried to play word games, which went down about as well as you'd expect.
As a game, Escape From Tarkov has never really felt particularly fair.... but it always screwed everyone over equally. The presence of calm scavs has long been the sign of a safe area for many Escape From Tarkov players, and so the idea that those who pay enough money to abuse that learned behaviour before picking off other PMCs who are trying to kill the AI themselves, is pretty gross. Snipers can now hide risk-free to pick off players killing and looting scavs in hotspots, without any real downside.
