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?
…All this and more in the episode!
