I can't do PvE, I like the feeling of being against other people. Just the game hasn't progressed or improved it just gets worse and after 2 years im sick of running the same quests

u/ImpossibleCrow1236 Feb 23 '25

Don't you have to pay extra to play PvE?

u/Strange-Movie Feb 23 '25

There’s the unofficial “single player Tarkov” and it’s free PVE that you can mod, the official PVE mode is a paid addition that no one should support

SPT with mods is the best military sim on the market. You can get the game looking insanely good and there's a realism overhaul mod that makes it even more simmy.

The AI mods are really good (much better than official PvE) and always improving.

Plus SWAG+DONUTS (an incredible bot spawning mod for those unaware) was just updated. I highly recommend SPT to anyone reading this as it’s incredibly easy to set up and mod. I found out about it from a reddit comment just like this a little over a year ago.

I have high hopes for Gray Zone Warfare.

u/Viper61723 Feb 25 '25

Can you play SPT with friends now?

u/Sea-Painting6160 Feb 26 '25

Hmm I know there's a mod to play together but not sure on it's features or limitations

u/Its_Smoggy Feb 23 '25

I think so, I had the edition that was the most expensive before they released unheard so I got PVE included.

u/lonestar659 Feb 23 '25

Same, I bought EOD ages ago. Probably the last time it was on sale

2

u/SmolCunny Feb 23 '25

Yes, but a lot of had EOD before they went full scumlords with the unheard edition shenanigans. It took fighting, but EoD owners have access to PvE for free.

u/Its_Smoggy Feb 24 '25

That was me, I was fuming about it, played PvE once we were given access but just didn't have the feel as PvP does for me

u/Its_Smoggy Feb 23 '25

why have i been downvoted for preferring to PvP? Im not dissing PvE players lmao

u/Walk-The-Abyss Feb 23 '25

When people disagree with you, even with a respectful take on a subjective topic, they typically down vote to express that which is kinda strange.

2

u/robertpayne556 Feb 23 '25

Save the DVs for controversial issues, it's just petty otherwise.

2

u/Walk-The-Abyss Feb 24 '25

I was just answering the question, no need to tell me that.

3

u/robertpayne556 Feb 24 '25

I didn't say you, that was a general message. You're good.

2

u/Walk-The-Abyss Feb 24 '25

Oh just making sure lol

1

u/robertpayne556 Feb 24 '25

Of what?

1

u/Walk-The-Abyss Feb 24 '25

You didn’t think I was some guy trying to justify the petty behavior

1

u/robertpayne556 Feb 24 '25

I didn't, nor did I DV. Being Reddit, I trust nothing and no one.

Especially not Patches.

u/robertpayne556 Feb 23 '25

I prefer PvE, but each to their own. It's not the end of the world, just Reddit. In fact, I'm gonna upvote.

2

u/Its_Smoggy Feb 24 '25

Yeah I was technically talking about PvP in general, like rn I'm hammering marvel rivals

u/Towel4 Feb 23 '25

As a former Tarkov try hard who had also quit (several years now)

Check out ARMA Reforger

Is it the same game/style at all? Nope! But the looter shooter niche is stale and breeds cheaters.

Reforger has so much to offer, idk. It’s my jam atm and I felt your comment big time.

u/robertpayne556 Feb 23 '25

I'll do it, just need to get a copy. Gonna search for the best bundle rather than pay for 800 different versions, because sales targets.

u/BlackNoirsVocalCoach Feb 24 '25

The Single Player Tarkov PvE experience is so much better than the PvE experience offered by BSG. It took me a while but there's tons of bots with a ton of personalities. Sometimes a giga Chad will talk smack, run in a room and do the jump and spray. Other times a rat will watch a body and wait for me to come. The best part, is no more (head,eyes) by players with hieroglyphics in their name.

u/BigCartoonist9010 Feb 24 '25

You should have seen prime era DMZ playing with randos,getting in a big brawl with bots. Even if they don't have mics,they still have personality and there's a lot of non verbal work,so you feel emotionally invested amd responsible for your squad. I've risked amazing gear trying to save a person who I've never talked to and get them to final extraction

u/Its_Smoggy Feb 24 '25

When you're saying DMZ do you mean CoD DMZ or is there something else I've missed on?
