EXFIL - An Escape From Tarkov Podcast XPMedia

MTBtrigger and Ronal dig into the recently released PvE mode. The pair discusses the rollout of The Unheard Edition and the new Tarkov PvE mode.

The Tarkov community had a lot to say about how Battlestate chose to implement this patch and mode - MTB and Ronal break down their thoughts on the results, the mistakes, and how it is resonating with the current, and new, playerbase(s).

…All this and more in the episode!

Exfil is an Escape From Tarkov Podcast - On episode 82:
Raid stories are back. MTBtrigger and Ronal talk about a few of their solo adventures. MTB breaks down a story in the middle of his journey completing the setup task. He is forced to wear a Ushanka hat and a scav vest while only using shotguns and encounters a 2-man squad that is immediately alerted to his presence and they battle in tight quarters with a surprise appearance from an enemy scav. Ronal’s story, while similar in proximity to MTB’s battle, unfolded in a very different way. Ronal witnessed multiple PMCs duking it out and was able to patiently wait for the battle to end when he surprised them, and maybe himself, with two clean headshots to take down the winners of the PMC war.
After the raid stories complete, the pair move on to discuss the new Tarkov map named Ground Zero. They talk about everything from the map’s limitations, player level limits, tasks, and overall layout to what they think Ground Zero’s implementation means from a future game design standpoint. They zero in on how Ground Zero simultaneously helps new and returning players while also creating an interesting new piece of content for experienced players.
As the show wraps, MTBtrigger throws an open ended question out to Ronal and the listeners - If Battlestate brought the level banding concept implemented on Ground Zero to other maps (having a weekend of “banded Customs” for example - breaking up who plays with who - level 1-19, 20-29, 30+) would it breathe new life into some of the gaps that cause players to lose interest? What do you think?

Exfil is an Escape From Tarkov Podcast
On this episode, MTBtrigger and Ronal begin their conversation about all of the changes in Tarkov since the last time they put significant playtime in a wipe. As they uncover and dissect some of the new systems with Tarkov’s patch 14, the pair settle into a discussion about the “gates” Battlestate is now playing with on maps, crafting, and purchasable items.
Included in this conversation is a deep dive into the flea market and the wild difference between levels 1-14 and 15+. Do you think this is still necessary with all of the other changes to the game battling RMT?
The pair also is experiencing gear fear again for the first time in a while - tune in to see how they conquered it and how they’re feeling about the early wipe experience this time around.

Exfil is an Escape From Tarkov Podcast
On this episode, MTBtrigger and Ronal walk through an insane Shoreline raid the pair had - Two shooter born in heaven kills plus a Sanitar kill in the same raid (Shoutout to AlphaTube on Twitch, you’ll hear why in the episode). 
Following this, MTB and Ronal break down the recent “cheating scandal” that was sparked by content creator g0at and his video exposing the cheating problem in Tarkov. So many things happened in the last two weeks including content creator reactions, content creator retractions, Battlestate responding, Battlestate opening up about recent ban waves…

Exfil is an Escape From Tarkov Podcast
On this episode, MTBtrigger and Ronal talk about Trigger’s hoarding problem which has caused him to amass four scav junkboxes, a docs case, two holodilniks, and a med case… Do you think this will slow down? Not a chance. In fact, MTB makes a verbal note that he is planning to add two more scav junkboxes to his collection. There is no end in sight to his case collecting.
The pair had significant play time in the first few weeks of the wipe and break down a number of raids, lessons learned, and new patch features they have witnessed in action.
Like most in the early weeks of a wipe, MTB and Ronal have had their fair share of successes and failures so far. They talk about the rollercoaster that is the Woods map, the added challenge of the new difficult scav spawns, and the trouble they seemed to get in while trying to complete the iron sight Mosin quests.
