Your son is very lucky to have you as his mother. My parents didn't even support me, they even confiscate my laptop when they see me playing videogames.
i try to make it Simple. 1- You can always upgrade from standard edition to the bigger Editions. 2- The Biger Secure Container and the Bigger Inventory is the Only good Reason to Buy the higher Editions. but remember you can always upgrade. 3- You can get a Bigger inventory by Playing ( Buylding out your Hideout ) that might be hard for newer players but pretty easy for experianced Players. 4- You can also get a Bigger Secure Container 4x2 by completing Quests ( might be hard for people who just start with Tarkov but not hard if you are already a bit experianced ) 5- all The other Items you get are Worthless, because you will lose them as a new Player anyways and you will find a lot of these Items while Playing anyways. 6- Buy Standard and then Upgrade if you think its Worth it for you.
@@mayorotter you pay for a bigger stash inventory which is out of raid, they also give you a bigger secure container which can secure loot if you die in raid. Do what this guy said, buy the standard and upgrade if you think it’s worth it, I’d recommend playing for 1 wipe before upgrading tho

To me eft has the looting of rust, a more complex gunplay of pubg, a bullet damage system vaguely like r6 and the devs the complete opposite of any ea game
EFT has hte best gun play system hands down. Sure, sometimes I like playing COD for a fast paced game, but PUBG was amazing for a gunplay system. I played that game so much, but it jsut died. Then I fould Tarkov. Guess I got a new addiction

after buying the stranded editon of the game i currently have 150 hours in the game which makes it my favourite game since 2016 i think edge of darkness is really worth it. so if you really wanna play the game and don't wanna pay full cash yet i recommend playing stranded until you are fully satisfied with the game and you can buy the biggest editon with a quick upgrade no extra cost
I'm just curious as to how much it was back when you bought the game? Because I'm looking at the price of this game. My friend is nagging me to buy it and play it with him because no one else has it. I just don't like these games that make you pay to Play . That's some bullshit man. I want H1Z1 back.
@@mknight6556 It's not really pay to play, I have seen some crazy people at the lowest edition of the game, it's just that if you don't pay for EOD it's more punishing for newer players. once you know the game you don't even need the highest edition of the game. it's more like time consuming otherwise
After playing with Standard Edition for 2-3 years I finally upgraded to Edge of Darkness Edition, mainly because I simply got tired of dealing with the small stash space with Standard edition. Yes, you get some extra goodies along with it, but the already upgraded stash space was the sole reason why I purchased EOD. I can only recommend EOD- edition for those people who have played for for some time and always seem struggle with the Hideout upgrades like me. One extra note though, I really don't like the Trader reputation boost that comes with EOD -edition, because it makes that early Task struggle obsolete. You get more than enough reputation to unlock Level 2 for all Traders (you still need to level your character and have enough money exchange though), and I kinda with BS would nerf how much reputation the EOD -edition gives you.
Just buy the standard version. You can unlock the epsilon container once you hit level 17 by completing the punisher questline. The epsilon container is an 8 square, by comparison the gamma container that costs you and additional $100 is a 9 square. Save your money friends
@@dodyyt4779 begin the quests asap. Once you finish his first few and get yourself to level 17 you'll unlock the punisher quests. Maybe a week if you only game for an few hours per day.
It's a bit shitty that they are giving such a big advantage by paying on a game that's already fully priced even if it still counts as early access, especially considering how many problems it still has.
It's true for 2 intermediate versions but with EOD version it's like a premium version for most of the games and those usually cost 100$ or more. It's also a way for devs to make more money since they don't plan to implement in-game transactions.
From what I’ve heard and learned left behind and prepare for escape are the best options for ppl not on board with shelling out $140 on a game. You really don’t need 10x68 space especially once you get weapon/med cases and ammo/junk boxes. If you fill up all that space just sell it. you can always upgrade later if you really want the bigger container but it’s not worth imo.
I have been playing with standard for 3 wipes now, yeah it sucks, but in about 3 weeks you can get an epsilon container and Itemcases instead of stash upgrades. It's good
Really good and informative video, straight to the point and answered all the questions I had. The fact EOD gives free access to all future DLC content is pretty convincing...gotta finish up Witcher 3 first then I think I'm gonna try EFT out.
been playing for a year and a bit, since 11.7 release, and standard is the way to go, only go EOD if you have the income and expense, the game is expensive and unforgiving and riddled with bugs and highly frustrating, Amazing game just give it time, Plus the ONLY thing that you really get that matter is the case size, everything else is just as easy on standard, im sat at 10mil this wipe with 30mil inventory syash worth, all ze cases, lifes good.
Also for all of EU players you'll have to pay VAT so prices are higher. Also don't try to buy it outside of the EU(with the help of VPN) because only versions bought from EU can play from EU countries, or at least I think it is. If you did buy outside of EU, you can upgrade to EU region for a price, for me it was about the same if I bought it from EU first time I bought it.
@@Link-fu9bd Idk, bummed me out too. I'm debating right now if I should upgrade to either EOD or Prepare for Escape just for the larger inventory and larger container. There's a sale right now. But $80-110 for a game is a little steep.
120 dollars is a lot for a video game however, this is an inde game with 46 team members brining you HUGE updates every couple months adding new weapons, armor, weapon calibers, maps, and so on. When paying more for the game you’re also supporting it even though it’s price. I believe it’s sort of up to wins reguarding the instant lvl 4 stache, very nice starting items and the second largest container. Most people purchase the container, as it allows you to skip the punisher quest line for a better container. I believe it’s worth it, but a little bit of a cheeky way to grab some extra cash from the players. You can upgrade your game type as you go, I advise everyone playing the game to start with standard and work your way up if you enjoy the game.
Considering how stash sizes and secure containers take ages for a tarkov player with standard edition to upgrade to, I don’t get how people don’t view eod/any more expensive edition outside of standard edition as p2w. Just get standard edition and try and work your way up to a better stash size and secure container without paying for eod. If you get everything handed to you automatically, it isn’t as much fun as working for it. Only time I would be ok with someone getting it is if they are a casual.
Or you can just buy any container from fence by filtering out the price and keep refreshing till u get one. Its very hard but possible , me and all my friends have done it from alpha container straight to gamma
well its 35€, so around 157PLN, that doesn't include tax, but with tax it's 193PLN. That's a lot, and that'ss just standard edition. I really like the game, my friend lend me their account for a day and i fell in love, but now i can't play on his account and can't afford the game. I'm heartbroken.
I didn't watch the video, but the answer to this is objectively STANDARD VERSION! They've added the hideout, so now you can upgrade in-game stuff to acquire everything (except Gamma case, but it's not that big of a deal cos they keep changing what you can(not) put in it, anyway).
@@memestrosity7522 dont stress it too much, you're just kicking scavs. Throw on a red dot, grab a better muzzle, and swap out the stock. Just stick to the main road. If you spawn anywhere near cabins, head to the gas station 3 to 4 scavs, then check lighthouse, make your way to weather station, 3 scavs, then head to the power station, 4 scavs, then head to the road exit and walk up and down the road, should be able to get 4 to 6 there.
Okay, question. Let's say you play standard and you go through all the trouble of upgrading to max stash and get the kappa. When the wipe happens though you are thrown back down to standard right? So yes you can get back up to where all the big stash and such are, but one reset and you have to climb back up?
It would appear so. I've been playing for not quite 2 months and just got the stash upgrade. So much more space but once the wipe hits gotta start from scratch :/
Hey, I need the answer quick! If I buy the standard edition with the smallest stash edition and upgrade it to the max stash size do i keep the biggest stash size after the reset, or do I need to grind after the reset again, to have the max size?
@@FinestXI Dude I have another question If I buy the standard one and decided later on that I will upgrade to EOD will it give me the additional item the EOD has? Also that unique in game name with crown that you are talking about? Thank you in advance man!
Honestly sticking with standard because not just the money but I have an incentive tp continue grindin those quests to get the epsilon and eventually kappa.
Its simple you alvays start with the standard. And based how much time you play the game you update your account. After less than a year playing i end up with the final one. Because i feel the game worth that extra money. (And when you poor like me its easyer to afford in slices instead to instabuy the most expensive one)
I bought and enjoy standard edition, have my maxed hideout and Kappa case after ~300hrs (though from people I talk to apparently this is pretty fast, some youtubers do it in under a week though). Finding it hard to decide if I want EOD for next wipe to get ahead, the DLC being included is the pushing factor for me, but I'll probably be better off saving ams buying the DLC as they come, even at $30 each is have to buy 4 DLC to waste money compared to EOD
Wrong, everything yoy get EOD is now available to standard since the addition of the hideout, only exception is the Gamma container, but people sell those on the flea market once they get the Kappa
I'm planning to buy a tarkov, but what happens if you run out of the loot? Will the game end or??? I'm just asking that if Tarkov can end like if you die with your loot etc. you can't play anymore or it's just like any other survival games where you can loot and play as much as you want.
I've had a standard account for 3 years, that being said this game isnt going anywhere but up! I'm upgrading to eod soon, and yes it's totally worth the money
EOD is not worth it anymore because if you don't make it out of the raid than the items you put in the case are not as valuable as they once were pre-patch. By this I mean two things: 1) that hard to find "found in raid" item can no longer be used to complete tasks because it's no longer considered "found in raid" and 2) that rare valuable item is now worth 10-15% of the going rate because it can no longer be sold on the market but rather just to the traders now. It's a brutal game and I would highly recommend buying the basic edition because if you find you love it a month or so in, you can always upgrade later. Just trying to be completely transparent here... I encouraged many friends to buy Tarkov only to see them walk away in utter frustration after a month or so.
basically, buy standard if you wanna play the game and grind. buy left behind if you want a little help but still wanna play and grind. buy prepare for escape if you want alot of shit and make it alot easier that standard. buy edge of darkness if you legit dont wanna do anything except play the game you dont have to grind anything, basically get to endgame right away.
If you are new just get the expensive version if you can. Not only do you start out with the best stash you can get 66x10 aka 660 slots. but more importantly you get the GAMMA container which is 3x3, something you can't upgrade to or buy. and 3x3 secure slots in a raid especially when you are new is INVALUABLE. You are going to get your ass kicked either way. You want those slots.
@@iitstre_4550 I have been playing Tarkov for quite a few years now. Never even gotten close to getting Kappa. I play solo mostly though so that's a huge part of it, but even if you do play with a group like you're gonna be splitting loot in a lot of cases and the main obstacle in all of that is you have to learn the maps. Learning the maps took me a long, long time. So, I dunno. Just saying, if you're a beginner especially, bite the bullet and buy the Gamma version.
My 2c. Buy standard and if you like it buy EOD. I bought EOD as soon as I heard about the wipe and the changes to Flea Market. I am self employed and work long hours. I can't compete with hatchlings farming everything before I get there. With the found in raid, I have more chance of getting the items I need for tasks. With EOD I won't have to junk so much stuff I know I will need later. At level 15 now and I don't want to take forever to get back here. Phillip.
Wait so what are the up-coming DLC's ? I'm really interested but afraid of buying because not understanding deeply what are the benefits of the DLC's I think you should make 1 full vid about the EOD version alone bcs im still very confused lmfao.
I am also Unaware of what the DLC can be, but i am thinking maps and stuff, EX: Streets of tarkov / other maps just for people who purchased the DLC ,maps with great grand loot and many opportunities to get rich. I'd love it!
I believe the DLC is when the game fully releases. Who knows when that'll be though. Like he said in the video it's a great value, but in my opinion It's really not even the main reason to get the EOD version anyway, it's just a very, very, nice add on. The stash and gamma are the best benefits from the EOD version.
@@stackbundles718 Since when does the DLC refer to a specific time? Pretty sure it's downloadable content, not "The definition of the time when the game releases"
RedHood, haven’t looked into one yet but just trying to get an idea for future perspective. I’m more used to having a console but sadly EFT doesn’t offer in that platform
Question I'm a new player to Tarkov (level 7) and I only purchased the standard edition because I wanted to make sure that I liked the game before spending more than $45 dollars on it. Turns out I am totally addicted and hooked to the game LOL I came over for COD because that game was just redundant and boring, I needed a new game that challenged me. I definitely got what I was looking for with Tarkov lol But my question is; If I purchase the Big boy edition and spend the $140 on the Edge of Darkness Edition, will I get to keep all the gear that comes with it after the next wipe or should I just wait til after the wipe to buy?
Every time the game wipes you reset with the same starter gear for your current edition. If you buy it now you should get all your upgraded stuff in the in game mail system
@@BazinGarrey To be fair, I gotta side with the other guy. The Punisher quest line took me 4-5 days of 3 hour sessions to finish. And its only one less slot than the gamma. Not too difficult to obtain

What happens if you buy the most expensive version and then die? Do you lose everything you paid for?
@@Phantom-el6oe Completely different games. Tarkov has pvp, and STALKER doesn't. Tarkov is also about loot, STALKER isn't.
been playing for a year and a bit, since 11.7 release, and standard is the way to go, only go EOD if you have the income and expense, the game is expensive and unforgiving and riddled with bugs and highly frustrating, Amazing game just give it time, Plus the ONLY thing that you really get that matter is the case size, everything else is just as easy on standard, im sat at 10mil this wipe with 30mil inventory syash worth, all ze cases, lifes good.
Also for all of EU players you'll have to pay VAT so prices are higher. Also don't try to buy it outside of the EU(with the help of VPN) because only versions bought from EU can play from EU countries, or at least I think it is. If you did buy outside of EU, you can upgrade to EU region for a price, for me it was about the same if I bought it from EU first time I bought it.
Sales on EFT are usually on New Years, Feb. 23rd (Ruskie day) and May 9th (special day for the company).
I bought standard edition and just bought an epsilon container
Link how did you buy it??
@@dodyyt4779 you can get them on flea market when someone sells theirs to fence
This isn't going to be possible anymore. You'll only be able to buy found in raid items in the flea market. RIPERINO
@@Lemmyywinkz that's so dumb, what are they thinking lmao
@@Link-fu9bd Idk, bummed me out too. I'm debating right now if I should upgrade to either EOD or Prepare for Escape just for the larger inventory and larger container. There's a sale right now. But $80-110 for a game is a little steep.
I had to wait until level 10 to unlock the flea market
120 dollars is a lot for a video game however, this is an inde game with 46 team members brining you HUGE updates every couple months adding new weapons, armor, weapon calibers, maps, and so on. When paying more for the game you’re also supporting it even though it’s price. I believe it’s sort of up to wins reguarding the instant lvl 4 stache, very nice starting items and the second largest container. Most people purchase the container, as it allows you to skip the punisher quest line for a better container. I believe it’s worth it, but a little bit of a cheeky way to grab some extra cash from the players. You can upgrade your game type as you go, I advise everyone playing the game to start with standard and work your way up if you enjoy the game.
Considering how stash sizes and secure containers take ages for a tarkov player with standard edition to upgrade to, I don’t get how people don’t view eod/any more expensive edition outside of standard edition as p2w.
Just get standard edition and try and work your way up to a better stash size and secure container without paying for eod.
If you get everything handed to you automatically, it isn’t as much fun as working for it.
Only time I would be ok with someone getting it is if they are a casual.
Thanks for the guidance! Grabbed the Prepare for escape edition, appreciate it man!
Or you can just buy any container from fence by filtering out the price and keep refreshing till u get one. Its very hard but possible , me and all my friends have done it from alpha container straight to gamma
How much did it cost?
@@jacobhingley 800k for beta
1 mil for epsilon
3.1 mil for gamma

for me standard looks good becuse i love grinding in games it is the whole meaning of some games
hows The standard version going? Im about to buy it
@@IThinkIAmTheBreadOfficial aint got the money yet lmao
@@edennormous664 lol
prepare to escape is only good because of the container and as a standard edition player I can say those 2 slots help so much
I am telling you, that Skadoodle on shoreline. that is as CoD as this game gets!
Tarkov is basically what if Fallout, Arma, and Tetris had a child.
If your PC can run Tarkov well, you can probably afford EoD Edition anyways, and it's good to support devs of a game if you like it
I wish it was still lvl 5 for flea market lol lvl 20 is a pain
I have traumatic flashbacks from Alpha days,if you can invest into EOD,do it
Also, at this point in the wipe, you'll be able to get a lot of things from the market for cheaper than the traders
10:15 that's why it's always "left behind"
Ooo soo glad you told me that i can buy the standard edition n upgrade to the others later
well its 35€, so around 157PLN, that doesn't include tax, but with tax it's 193PLN. That's a lot, and that'ss just standard edition. I really like the game, my friend lend me their account for a day and i fell in love, but now i can't play on his account and can't afford the game. I'm heartbroken.
I didn't watch the video, but the answer to this is objectively STANDARD VERSION!
They've added the hideout, so now you can upgrade in-game stuff to acquire everything (except Gamma case, but it's not that big of a deal cos they keep changing what you can(not) put in it, anyway).
I like the challenge anyways, but I cant even afford standard edition
Well, you can, if you can extract with the required items without BEING KILLED EVERY TIME.
if I buy edge of darkness and it wipes do I start with edge of darkness again
Took me three days to finish the punisher series. Epsilon was easy, full isn’t worth imo
I just got the first punisher quest. Any akm build recommendations?
I completely agree
@@memestrosity7522 dont stress it too much, you're just kicking scavs. Throw on a red dot, grab a better muzzle, and swap out the stock. Just stick to the main road. If you spawn anywhere near cabins, head to the gas station 3 to 4 scavs, then check lighthouse, make your way to weather station, 3 scavs, then head to the power station, 4 scavs, then head to the road exit and walk up and down the road, should be able to get 4 to 6 there.
@@thefunkadelic9814 alright thanks
You can just but epsilon for 1.4mil and kappa for 7.8mil approx
Okay, question. Let's say you play standard and you go through all the trouble of upgrading to max stash and get the kappa. When the wipe happens though you are thrown back down to standard right? So yes you can get back up to where all the big stash and such are, but one reset and you have to climb back up?
It would appear so. I've been playing for not quite 2 months and just got the stash upgrade. So much more space but once the wipe hits gotta start from scratch :/
@@travishibachi frickin rip, looks like im upgrading then. I don't have the time to constantly be grinding like that
video starts 1:44
Hey, I need the answer quick! If I buy the standard edition with the smallest stash edition and upgrade it to the max stash size do i keep the biggest stash size after the reset, or do I need to grind after the reset again, to have the max size?
You keep whatever you PAY for every single wipe! If you have standard and upgrade to EOD max stash, you will be EOD max stash for good!
@@FinestXI thanks man
@@FinestXI Dude I have another question If I buy the standard one and decided later on that I will upgrade to EOD will it give me the additional item the EOD has? Also that unique in game name with crown that you are talking about? Thank you in advance man!
Very helpful video, thanks so much! (:
Great videos my bro - just subbed. Keep it up! 👍
Another amazing video FinestXI. Keep up the solid work man!
fun tio, if you want EOD, buy the 45$ then the EOD for 20$, it saves you about 2$ after VAT and you get extra gear.
Honestly sticking with standard because not just the money but I have an incentive tp continue grindin those quests to get the epsilon and eventually kappa.
Me: I Wana play tarkov. Xsolla: are you sure about that?
I’m thinking of buying the EOD edition then giving my old standard account to my mate but in Australia the EOD edition of tarkov is $200 😓
Jesus shit! In sweden it costs around $103
video aged well, thanks youtube for the recomm
Its simple you alvays start with the standard. And based how much time you play the game you update your account.
After less than a year playing i end up with the final one. Because i feel the game worth that extra money. (And when you poor like me its easyer to afford in slices instead to instabuy the most expensive one)
I bought and enjoy standard edition, have my maxed hideout and Kappa case after ~300hrs (though from people I talk to apparently this is pretty fast, some youtubers do it in under a week though). Finding it hard to decide if I want EOD for next wipe to get ahead, the DLC being included is the pushing factor for me, but I'll probably be better off saving ams buying the DLC as they come, even at $30 each is have to buy 4 DLC to waste money compared to EOD
bruh i got the same hours no kappa or upgraded max hideout, i got 30 mil iventory, and 10 mil
You get all the dlcs with eod
Thanks for making this. Great help!
Buy the Beta container version. It's sufficiently convenient while not being as expensive as EOD
Would you still recommend it after 3 years? I am considering buying it since there is a discount. EoD is going to be gone soon I think.
@@raymondmoeyaert I stopped playing but nah, don’t bother anymore
@@xornedge8204 Alright thank you man.
Everything you get with the expensive versions of the game is almost impossible to get for a beginner with a standard-edition
Wrong, everything yoy get EOD is now available to standard since the addition of the hideout, only exception is the Gamma container, but people sell those on the flea market once they get the Kappa
You can’t buy gamma on the market
@@RichyN25 lmao implying a beginner has 3.5 mil laying around, 24 hours for construction, and stash space for the bulky stuff needed
You can just buy eft money from Chinese sweat shops
@@roufdrapht 3.5 mil isn't a lot. Been playing for a week and have that much.
I'm planning to buy a tarkov, but what happens if you run out of the loot? Will the game end or??? I'm just asking that if Tarkov can end like if you die with your loot etc. you can't play anymore or it's just like any other survival games where you can loot and play as much as you want.
You can go as a SCAV and try to get loot, or with your main character just to loot dead boodies.
As long as you make use of ur secure container you'll never run out of meds or other stuff. Hope you got it and are enjoying it bro.
I've had a standard account for 3 years, that being said this game isnt going anywhere but up! I'm upgrading to eod soon, and yes it's totally worth the money
EOD is not worth it anymore because if you don't make it out of the raid than the items you put in the case are not as valuable as they once were pre-patch. By this I mean two things: 1) that hard to find "found in raid" item can no longer be used to complete tasks because it's no longer considered "found in raid" and 2) that rare valuable item is now worth 10-15% of the going rate because it can no longer be sold on the market but rather just to the traders now. It's a brutal game and I would highly recommend buying the basic edition because if you find you love it a month or so in, you can always upgrade later. Just trying to be completely transparent here... I encouraged many friends to buy Tarkov only to see them walk away in utter frustration after a month or so.
thanks for your video! helps so much!
Glad it helped!
I was gonna save up and wait to get the EOD cause I thought that was the only way to get a big stash, I'd much prefer to grind.
Thank you!
No problem!
basically, buy standard if you wanna play the game and grind. buy left behind if you want a little help but still wanna play and grind. buy prepare for escape if you want alot of shit and make it alot easier that standard. buy edge of darkness if you legit dont wanna do anything except play the game you dont have to grind anything, basically get to endgame right away.
If you are new just get the expensive version if you can. Not only do you start out with the best stash you can get 66x10 aka 660 slots. but more importantly you get the GAMMA container which is 3x3, something you can't upgrade to or buy. and 3x3 secure slots in a raid especially when you are new is INVALUABLE. You are going to get your ass kicked either way. You want those slots.
True. But you can get Kappa container with any edition if you play enough to earn it.
@@iitstre_4550 I have been playing Tarkov for quite a few years now. Never even gotten close to getting Kappa. I play solo mostly though so that's a huge part of it, but even if you do play with a group like you're gonna be splitting loot in a lot of cases and the main obstacle in all of that is you have to learn the maps. Learning the maps took me a long, long time. So, I dunno. Just saying, if you're a beginner especially, bite the bullet and buy the Gamma version.
i just upgraded the account every month to see if i keep playing it and i still do. Big bucks to pay for a bigger stash xD
There are Eroup and Russa. Which one is better? I heared it lock area.
What's the point of buying Eod if you can grind to it, without spending extra just by enjoying the game and actually having a goal to keep you going.
your right buddy. 100+ dollars is a little heavy.
I'm slowly using sales to upgrade, hopefully i can afford to get to EoD before launch to get that sweet free DLC deal

i already own the standard version but am thinking about buy a better version and this helped a bit
Thank's mate
im debating should i buy it. its a lot of money even tho its gone down in price.
so if im understanding this correctly, if you buy the EOD edition, you cant upgrade your stash past 10x68
Right, because you’ll always have the biggest stash available.
buy standard edition, if you like it, buy prepare for escape or EOD
Either get standard or edge of darkness. Everything else is pointless
My 2c. Buy standard and if you like it buy EOD. I bought EOD as soon as I heard about the wipe and the changes to Flea Market. I am self employed and work long hours. I can't compete with hatchlings farming everything before I get there. With the found in raid, I have more chance of getting the items I need for tasks. With EOD I won't have to junk so much stuff I know I will need later. At level 15 now and I don't want to take forever to get back here.
Phillip.
best tutorial ever dud . Big thanks!!!
Wait so what are the up-coming DLC's ? I'm really interested but afraid of buying because not understanding deeply what are the benefits of the DLC's I think you should make 1 full vid about the EOD version alone bcs im still very confused lmfao.
I am also Unaware of what the DLC can be, but i am thinking maps and stuff, EX: Streets of tarkov / other maps just for people who purchased the DLC ,maps with great grand loot and many opportunities to get rich. I'd love it!
@@kungfu3299 nah, all the map u see now will be free, i believe DLC is something else...
@@steve0riginals Aha. Maybe other maps? Maybe something else unlocked in the storyline? Who knows
I believe the DLC is when the game fully releases. Who knows when that'll be though. Like he said in the video it's a great value, but in my opinion It's really not even the main reason to get the EOD version anyway, it's just a very, very, nice add on. The stash and gamma are the best benefits from the EOD version.
@@stackbundles718 Since when does the DLC refer to a specific time? Pretty sure it's downloadable content, not "The definition of the time when the game releases"
So when wipe comes will i get all the stuff from escape edition back? Like the default guns n money n etc it comes with?
Bought EOD with too bad PC/internet conection but worth it! I will back to game in few months with better pc and web connection

It is level 15 to open the market now!!
Question I'm a new player to Tarkov (level 7) and I only purchased the standard edition because I wanted to make sure that I liked the game before spending more than $45 dollars on it. Turns out I am totally addicted and hooked to the game LOL I came over for COD because that game was just redundant and boring, I needed a new game that challenged me. I definitely got what I was looking for with Tarkov lol But my question is; If I purchase the Big boy edition and spend the $140 on the Edge of Darkness Edition, will I get to keep all the gear that comes with it after the next wipe or should I just wait til after the wipe to buy?
Every time the game wipes you reset with the same starter gear for your current edition. If you buy it now you should get all your upgraded stuff in the in game mail system
@@FinestXI thanks brotha appreciate it!
Get the standard edition and just do the punisher questline from Prapor and get the episilion case like I did.
