To add to what these two said: I bought EOD about three years ago, for me it was/is free to access the pve mode, with that being said for anyone else interested in it who would have to purchase the addon(s)… just go the route of SPT. As someone who has sunk a lot of hours into both online tarkov and SPT (as well as playing official pve recently) My opinion is: it is far more fun playing SPT, which can be personalized and modded, rather than the official pve mode where all of the ai is cracked and primarily goes after you the player.
@@Squatch559 i also bought the EOD a few years ago when I was a “hardcore” player. I was using SPT until EOD players were “allowed” access to PVE. I agree with your comment whole heartedly.
PVE mode was made intentionally to be difficult Nikita didn’t want to have a pve mode other than practice but when SPT was made it kinda triggered him into creating and charging twice for it
One way to balance the insurance system for pve is to only have insurance work if it is inside a container. That way you kindof need to stash it somewere safe and out of the way so the AI doesn't grab it
In terms of insurance, technically speaking AI can loot your dropped items and extract with them, even. But in practice this never happens naturally, since the raid in this mode ends as soon as you extract, and it doesn't continue on a server as it would on PvP. I think this may be different if you play on coop, but it doesn't from what I know. So basically in 99% of cases insuring your gear makes it impossible to just lose
I highly suggest trying out PvE with pestily/deadlyslob's hardcore ruleset. It feels like its kinda tailored specficially to address some of the issues with pve, like guranteed insurance
Ok so I wasn’t the only one who had a similar error when I tried to update Gamma. I uninstalled the whole game because of it and now I’ll have to reinstall it lol. I installed EFT to play PvE just like you but I really want to get into Stalker Gamma since it has a lot more depth and I can play it offline with the ability to pause the game whenever I want and not having to worry about extract timers or loot getting lost like in EFT lol. I thought about trying the Escape from Pripyat modpack as well, but I’ve heard that one had less frequent updates and is also harder to update compared to Gamma which has its own launcher.
There’s a point. Not so much for veterans of the game, but new people could use it to get used to the game and the maps before they jump in head first into pvp. Plus what you said
They do loot stuff and pmcs even extract. Ive defo had some of my insurances not come back or gotten full mags back empty. I think even even had some weapons stripped. Scavs defo head eyes in pvp lol ive been one tapped going full sprint side ways along to the shooter and got hit over 75 metres away i think. I was so mad lol.
I think it’s more streamlined and easier to get into and play at a moments notice, spt offers a nicer experience with all the mods and customization however
for those wondering, the minimum price of entry for PVE is $70. $50 for the standard edition of the game & $20 for PVE add on.
Thankfully SPT is free.

This is a good shake-up from GAMMA, definitely interested in watching more.
Always happy to see your gamma and escapefromtarkov vids in my sub uploads thank you :)

This got a good laugh out of me 😂
Didnt know they added a pve mode for everyone and your first video made me pick it up. Its been fun

There are two new quests that you have to plant stuff in factory that are arguably worse than the powder plant Senior Qloud
The irony 🤣 I have just got one tapped by a bot and the title called me out

scav aim is just as crazy in pvp
The scav spawns in PVE are actually infinite in certain areas. And the AI as usual is kinda cracked, between gomer pyles and john wick lol

We really need something like this on console minus the $250 price tag

mags always come back empty
Out of the 800 raids I’ve played on pve, not one of my insurance returns have been looted
BTW. Had same issue with gamma, just type "save" in the mod and choose 9.1 or whatever
price aside, do you think PVE is better than SPT?

So this pve mode is available for all editions? Game looks fun
Only for the $200 year edition or if you previously owned edge of darkness
You can buy it separately for $20
