A fkn search bar for my stash would be nice!!!

[lennart]

They finally highlight the quest items when I started to remember them all...

[SnuggleLabes]

Getting levels early makes so many things in this game easier and faster. Attachments for gunsmith are a massive one to me. Getting to certain quest like thicc case sooner is also quite nice imo

[adamlopez]

Not having to constantly scroll back to my crafts when I buy items from the flea would be an amazing QOL change

[saskmuddinatv]

Ill honestly just keep playing pve. Having no cheaters has been so blissful. Tarkov morphed from borderline stressful to just straight-up fun.

You forgot 1 big thing - I can't play for at least the first 4-6 hours of a wipe due to servers. Somehow, streamers get to level 10 before I can even play a single raid, this happens every wipe.
The launcher's server is shared obviously, but if I can get past the launcher and into arena, then the game servers are different between regular Tarkov and Arena. So I might be able to play at times when I normally wouldn't be able to progress in Tarkov at all. Leveling without completing tasks or gathering mats beats not playing at all. So it doesn't matter which route is more optimal, at least I'll get to play ( hopefully, remains to be tested )

Love this, always needed to write down all the crap I need at a wipe start

[daaaavidz]

Early-wipe guns and ammo will become obsolete so much sooner because of the armor changes combined with non-FIR items being sellable on the flea market, so it will be just a week or two before the next wipe starts feeling like the current late wipe, so it makes me quite less enthusiastic about it.

Recommendation for Giga, Grumpy's Hideout Key at Ref 2 (PMC 15) shatters progression. Consistent level 6 plates, around 200 rounds of high pen ammo per key use.

Once a player who knows about this has access to that key, it basically skips progresssion.

Amazing video!! I got two friends to get Arena, and they’re enjoying the gameplay and want to start EFT next wipe. I’m a 5 year vet but even I appreciate the wishlist recommendations. Fantastic work Giga and keep it up!!

[ubertutorials]

a full wipe of item investing. dear fucking god i cannot wait

[PenguinWAG]

as a person who hated doing most quests and just plays this game only for pvp, i love that i can just play arena to get level 15, im not very good at normal tarkov but im decent at arena. This lets me "unlock" the game when i havent been able to for most wipes

[hizzousekakashi]

Honestly, interchange has been my favorite map since I started and the BIGGEST SLOG before I start to really level up is when just getting to 17 so I can start getting ragman quests, once I start getting the interchange quests I am flying by in levels.

[ylyxa]

Re: Arena, I think the bigger effect of this would actually be the trader levels, not the flea market.

You can get to Level 20 with a few hours of Arena. This, in combination with the .2 rep that EoD owners get, is enough for LL2 on every trader in the game. And that gives you access to a lot of useful early game gear pretty much immediately as you start the wipe.

[Alesekomg]

I'm certain that by "fps optimisation" nikita means the 9800X3D release date, give or take :)

[crispy]

Looking forward to seeing how things go crazy at the wipe for the PVP players whole i keep having a blast in PvE

[IskenderH]

I’ve always wanted a list of all the items you need for quests and hideout but not sorted by trader. So if anyone wants to do that I’ll love you forever lol

[slug]

one of the things i miss heavily is being able to list items on the flea market without the found in raid status. it promoted more opportunities to actually buy and use a gear set without the fear of losing it knowing its not so limited and "rare". which should theoretically and imo, hopefully encourage more real gunplay and exploration while lessening the camping meta where especially newer players feel like they have to conform to in the more recent years.

[modwolves_live]

Thanks for putting the work in! I'll get those items added 👌👌

[ThisIsmiXTV]

I started playing without knowing the wipe had only a couple of months left. This is a perfect vid for my first real wipe 😁
