Escape from Tarkov: Spielgebiet “The Customs” vorgestellt

Battlestate Games is working hard on the shooter MMORPG Escape from Tarkov and has now introduced the first play area.

Only a few days left until the highly anticipated alpha test of the MMO Escape from Tarkov begins. In this, players who have gained access will be able to explore a first area. This is “The Customs”. The area has been abandoned by the city’s population, and gangs are now roaming the streets, looting. These “Scavs” (Scavengers) seek loot in Tarkov that they take ruthlessly. “The Customs” is a relatively large area with many interesting locations, including a chemical factory and warehouses.

New details about the game

The website MMORPG.com also conducted an interview with the developers of the game. In addition to known elements like the story, which revolves around a military conflict in Russia that victimizes the fictional city of Tarkov, new details were revealed. There will be no truly safe places in the game. The only truly safe place is the game menu. In this menu, players will manage their inventory and can heal.

Actions grant experience points

The skill system, through which you improve your character, is inspired by The Elder Scrolls series. You gain experience points in the areas you use, such as applying medical knowledge, collecting loot, using weapons… If you level up in this area, you receive skill points to distribute. If you do not use an area, you do not level up in those skills either. Although there will be no crafting, trading plays an important role as players can influence the economy.

There are no “science fiction” elements in the game; it is a realistic MMO set in a fictional but theoretically possible scenario. The closed alpha will start on August 4. You can purchase access to this through the “Edge of Darkness” founder pack.
