Behind every FPS, there is a passionate community that is always trying to be better and have fun with every dose of new content. In the case of the new Escape from Tarkov The Unheard Edition, fans are furious and are leaving the game without looking back. The edition costs a lot but content is bad.
The game itself describes itself as a realistic combat experience, but in this new PvE mode, the NPC can absorb several bullet magazines without dying, making the title look terrible. The fans have now labeled this edition a scam.
Realism Is in Danger in Escape From Tarkov
Few games caught the attention of hardcore FPS players as Escape from Tarkov did when it was revealed. The Early Access title offers the possibility of a realistic weapon customization system as well as the idea of starting all over again if you die in a raid or a confrontation.
Developed by Battlestate Games, the game makes you part of a two-faction confrontation in an Eastern European country on the brink of a civil war. The objective is to gather loot, avoid death, and acquire new weapons and abilities.
The Unheard Edition is the new bundle, which contains numerous new additions to the core game, including a ticket to test the new PvE cooperative mode that offers persistent progression.
There are many more features, but the problem with this bundle is that it costs $250, and some players are experiencing really complicated glitches, bugs, and NPCs that seem immortal, taking the whole realistic combat not seriously enough.
The Unheard Edition Is a Scam, According to a Twitch Streamer
The Twitch streamer SchmidttyB shared a long post on X/Twitter, talking about how The Unheard Edition of Escape from Tarkov is a scam. He even went further and posted some clips of the new PvE mode, which you can only access by purchasing this edition for $250.
These clips show how he emptied two bullet magazines on an NPC and doesn’t die. This makes no sense, especially since this IP’s selling point is realism. He even cautioned the players to avoid linking the two modes, ensuring they didn’t lose their progress.
This streamer also said that they waited for more than 10 minutes to enter this PvE mode, proving that this kind of model makes no sense for the short player base that this game has. He concluded by saying that this mode could be a free add-on or even charge $20 at best, so he defined this edition as a complete scam.
This game keeps losing players to other similar titles that offer the realistic experience that hardcore FPS players are looking for. To access the game, you cannot play it on any platform and have to purchase it from the official site of Escape from Tarkov.
In the long run, this will finally make the few players leave the game for good to try other IPs that aren’t charging that much.
