@nikgeneburn I just see these as worse than what we have. It doesn’t appear to fill any gap in experience, it’s just objectively worse. Please don’t change it

Updated Aiming v.2 (for testing on ETS servers)

@Gigabeef It adds absolutely nothing of value, and looks worse. I think the current animations are perfect

- On low ergo this is fine tbh. - Still think it should scale to roughly zero bump at high ergo however - Not sure where the threshold should be to remove it - 70?

@SeanBombRL @nikgeneburn Imagine a scav caps out to you, and that giggle before you shoulder the gun is the time it takes for you to be shot in the head. Gg

@nikgeneburn It’s looks more real. Not sure what the fuss is about

guys, understood and got all of the feedback related WIP changes to aiming. Take it easy, there will be another iteration and there will be ETS test first. If you still will not like it - than I will double down and add it ingame asap! I'm kidding. Just let it be seen and tested first with the new changes to balance it out. Hopefully it will add more immersion and you will like it. Don't worry, it's being done by single teammember and me.

@nikgeneburn I’ve never been so worried about a change. I really wish we’d leave it alone, the aming and recoil is not something that needs to be changed IMO

@HayzStreams It’s so, so so bad. I have no better words

In what world did they think this would be a good change... BUT ALSO have the audacity to POST IT ON TWITTER BECAUSE THEY'RE SO HYPED ABOUT IT??

@Gigabeef It looks so bad I’m gonna cry

Not everything needs to be realistic. Immersion should be the goal. This falls into my category of "realistic, but gets in the way of gameplay". ie - > let's not do this. Its one of those things that looks cool in a movie, but when you're playing, you need to feel in control of your character. The unnecessary bump in aiming in the new ads animation has nothing to do with the mouse movement, and will end up feeling unimmersive imo Smoother is better for feeling connected to the world

@Gaorkema @nikgeneburn Nah, this looks bad. Looks like it’s going to make the best shooter ever made into the worst shooter ever made in one swift change.

@nikgeneburn People who cry about this, can you go play Marathon or ABI or Delta Force please. Tarkov is not the right place to demand snappy/high octane action combat etc. It's never meant to be that game. Stop molding it into sth else and deal with it. Remember the core mentality of EFT.

New reworked realistic non-linear aiming

@nikgeneburn This is too early for an April fools joke. I’ve never seen anything so terrible. Very very bad.

@axel__tv No. God. Why?! Why wouldn’t anyone change that. God I wish this was the first of April.

This is so ass. Rip PVP if it makes it to the game. I will camp exits while laying down with ads if they implement this lol

@AirwingMarine Yeah, it happened to me before. I alt tab, and the ad stops

Wait wait wait........ is this actually a thing?..... I use turbo so I havn't seen ads in years

@nikgeneburn Hell yeah!!! OCE is much improved. A few stalls here and there, but looking better so far

maybe you noticed - we are doing some changes to matching, reducing matching times. There will be more changes to that to reduce it more

@axel__tv For sure they need a buff. You can’t lie down, they’re not worth the risk. I mean, I’ve only hit maybe 10 in 1.0 but haven’t found anything great

Am I the only one who thinks Airdrops in EFT need a buff ? in other games if you see airdrop - you know you should go for it since it unconditionally provides top tier loot. In tarkov airdrop loot is useless unless you get 0.1% luck and get a LEDX from a medical drop

@tarkovarena 50/50 friends and solo.

● When you play EFT: Arena, do you usually queue with friends or go in solo? We look forward to your answers in the comments!

Gladiators of #TarkovArena! We'd love to get to know you better and ask a couple of questions. ● How often do you play #TarkovArena? How many hours per week do you spend in the game?

@nikgeneburn Oce servers are 8 - 12 mins every map. You might get lucky and get into factory faster, but it still estimates 8 mins

guys, pls tell what is your average matching time and what region/servers are selected?

@Trey24k @LVNDMARK_tv @MonsterEnergy @MonsterGaming The driveway is near, but it’s not clear

@LVNDMARK_tv @MonsterEnergy @MonsterGaming tony if u want me to think ur clearing ur own driveway u are high on pills

Nothing like a crispy white @MonsterEnergy to keep you alive all week while clearing snow and ice 🫡🥶 @MonsterGaming

@AirwingMarine Sounds sick, I might be in the minority, I really like arena!

Arena is getting it's own in game winter event too! Also Last Hero Mode gets 3 new locations inspired by Tarkov locations. Smugglers camp on Shoreline, Dorms on Customs, and EMERCOM base on woods. Should be fun to check out tomorrow.

@63skies_ Yeah good. This mask made no sense. Can barely stop a 9mm IRL. And for game balance, all the other masks like this are level 3, don’t see why this one should have been higher

are we serious right meow

@grok @Dude3571 @Teslarati @grok The claim was that there is no such thing as a full self driving Tesla. Thy said they all have supervisors. I heard of a test recently that makes their claim possibly false? Or are they still in testing, and are not actually full self driving yet?

Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) is a supervised system requiring a human driver to monitor and intervene. As of December 2025, Tesla does not operate fully driverless vehicles publicly in San Francisco, unlike Waymo. They are testing unsupervised Robotaxis in places like Austin, but FSD use needs supervision.

Massive SF power outage yesterday exposed Waymo's weakness: dozens of robotaxis stalled at dark traffic lights, blocking roads & forcing citywide suspension. Tesla FSD vehicles navigated fine, treating unlit intersections as 4-way stops.

@Dude3571 @Teslarati @grok this true?

@Teslarati There is no such thing as a Tesla FSD vehicle. They all have human safety drivers. Tell the truth.

@Gigabeef I don’t know what more people aren’t complaining about this!? I’m also not sure why it’s level 4, when all the others just like it are level 3? I also swear it bounces way more rounds than it should for “low” ricochet

Maybe a hot take but I hate these freakin masks dude Bizarrely I can sort of tolerate it in the base game (although I still think they suck), but in Arena if I shoot you in the face, I expect you to fall over
