Battlestate Games’ hardcore online shooter Escape From Tarkov hasn’t reached its full PC release date yet, but the developer has already announced that it doesn’t plan to include any sort of female playable characters into the game. Battlestate has stated two reasons for this decision, including the claim that it would be too much work to create female PCs, though neither of its excuses has gone over well with players who had requested this feat
Over Twitter, Battlestate recently responded to queries over whether or not Escape From Tarkov would get female PCs with a definitive no, writing that playable female characters wouldn’t fit the «game lore,» and adding that the «huge amount of work» it would take to add in extra animations and gear fitting eliminates the possibility. The game has been growing in popularity recently due to Twitch streamers broadcasting their gameplay, and the heavier spotlight led to Battlestate’s female character comments from 2016 being uneart
For those who may not know, containers are pieces of gear in Escape from Tarkov that allow players to hold extra gear on their character. However, the containers are special because gear inside the container will remain on a player’s character permanent, even if the player died and did not extract from a raid successful
_ Escape from Tarkov _ is a survival simulator, in a similar vein to others such as _ DayZ _ but with a uniquely rich backstory in a lawless Northwestern Russian city engulfed in warfare between two main mercenary factions. As each player picks the role of a mercenary, or PMC as they are called, they essentially decide to desert the war campaign by and large, with the goal of collecting the best loot and Tarkovescapezone explains technology leftover within its premises, while trying to escape the city alive. This is the main goal of the g
Containers are an extremely rare and valuable gear in Escape from Tarkov . For those wonder what exactly is Escape from Tarkov , it’s an FPS MMO-like game with PVP elements. Players enter raid maps to complete quests, gather better loot, and extract from the raid. Extracting from a raid allows players to keep any gear they find during a raid. However, dying during a raid cause any gear found and brought into a raid to be lost from that character permanen
You are going to lose everything you earned. Someone will kill you that you can not see and take your items. Players will kill you in a single bullet while they take dozens due to their armor. This is Tark
However, the standard edition is not the only way to jump into Escape from Tarkov . The game currently has three other editions that players can purchase, each with their own variety and amount of special perks. One of those helpful perks is a container known as the Gamma container, which is an invaluable piece of gear that allows players to carry house equipment that will be kept no matter w
Whether or not that–along with the company’s reasoning for denying female PCs–is actually true has been called into question, however, given that Escape From Tarkov does actually have women in it. They’re present as NPCs, and given that the game’s main factions are military-based, it would stand to reason that women might be involved in that. Plus, it’s not as though women haven’t been prominent members of the Russian military for decades, and even though the game’s Russia is technically fictional, its «lore» would still reflect that of the real Russia. Then there’s the fact that Battlestate isn’t the first company to say that adding female characters is too much work; Ubisoft famously said the same in 2014 when discussing Assassin’s Creed: Unity ‘s online mode and Far Cry 4 ‘s director said it again later that y
Escape from Tarkov recently became a hit sensation on Twitch , with viewership over 275,000 in numbers in recent times, largely thanks to loot drops.

The main way players are going to be defending themselves against other players and the AI Scav units is through the guns they’ve either brought into a raid or that they found during a raid. Like many FPS games in the genre, Tarkov has plenty of different guns to choose from and equip. Naturally, those different types of guns use different types of a
DrLupo recently went to Twitter to express his enthusiasm for _ Escape from Tarkov _ , describing the game as fulfilling a level of satisfaction for game streaming that he has not felt in some time. His overall viewership on his channel also appeared to double, approximately, as his Escape from Tarkov gameplay sessions gained more traction, suggesting that the game and the streamer in this case were both providing leverage for each other in their own ri
**Escape from Tarkov ** has been on a blitz lately with its name abuzz, viewership of the game on the rise on Twitch, and higher enrollment of active players. This is despite the fact the game has been playable in Alpha and Beta forms for a while now and is by no means a new game in that regard. There are a few obvious reasons for its sudden rise in popularity, as well as some more subtle and systemic reasons, all of which are potential mixtures of organic growth and initiatives taken on by the game’s develop
