From the time I played, I can tell you Terragroup was working on making a super soldier serum, they have tons of injectors that give you better stamina etc, it's not too far fetched to assume they were trying to create a drug that can make soldiers the perfect predators.
@@kingarthur8616 that would be fun, imagine if they add an event that scavs would become zombies and they would just rush at you and only woud be killed whit headshots, woud be scary as fuck, and scav players would play as zombies as well and they would only get their lopt if they killed at least one pmc, and, pmc that died to zombies would become zombies as well
literally bro i was about to comment Nikita is the tom clancy of video games, the story telling is way deeper and more surreal than i could've imagined
@@EULGamingYT i agreed with you and i'm waiting for quest about plot of Tarkov. If you know russian, come on my channel. I learn the plot and Lore of Tarkov too)
Well if Nikita gets his wish and he uses all the systems he has build to make a singleplayer S.T.A.L.K.E.R style game with Russia 2028. We know the fighting is going to spill out of Tarkov and go full WW3. I just hope we get this dream game. The mechanics in EFT are just beyond anything in the FPS market. That combined without any server requirement. Thus introducing no lag/desync. Would make it the best singleplayer FPS game since S.T.A.L.K.E.R.
And if what I've found is correct, there is reason for the Tarkov conflict to spill out into the greater world. I really, really, really hope R2028 is next.
Would definitely like it to be a coop experience.. Tarkov is amazing when roaming with friends. Specially in tightly knit and dark places with flashlight. It's absolutely amazing.
@@gamewarrior9107 UN peacekeepers are involved in this conflict. This includes US forces. The presence of these forces could cause anxiety among the Kremlin and thus create a large scale war.
I had absolutely no idea about any of this. I was playing tarkov just looking at objectives, reading nothing. This added such a depth and richness to the game that im thrilled about. Literally the best shooter I've ever played.
If this game was a single-player story-driven game it would be amazing!!! The base of a story that they have is great and I hope that we will have a lot more story expansion.
SAME. When I first saw footage of tarkov back in 2016-2017 I really thought it looked a lot like a game i used to play on my moms laptop on facebook LOL
Good shit man! I really enjoyed this one. After 4k hours and multiple Kappas, I think I like the lore of Tarkov more than actually playing the game at this point lol
really really good video! paced super well to make it easy to understand, certainly the most consumable video I've seen talking about the lore of tarkov. thank you!
I could never really get into the game (cus i'm trash), but was always pretty interested in the backstory of the game and kept up to date with all of the raid videos and this is video is amazing. Obligatory came from /r/eft but yknow.
i’ve been playing for close to a year now, didn’t know any of the lore and now i feel an even greater urge to play this game more to soak up knowledge and story info
They are adding Streets and Lighthouse by the end of the year according to the latest update from BSG. The 12.10 video I did touched on expansions and new maps.
One of the most intriguing components of EFT Lore is the perspective it is largely written from. It is largely a Russian narrative, which is seldom seen in most mainstream videogames. Most videogames that have a basis in modern geopolitics very often have Russia as an enemy. It's almost always; The West (NATO) vs Everyone Else, where EE = Bad Guys, and are very clearly and unrealistically vilified. Counter to this trend, as BEAR PMCs we learn that TERRAGROUP has been doing LOTS of shady things in the Tarkov region, and both TG and USEC are Western-affiliated groups. To be fair, there's a historical precedent in that the Western Powers have gotten away with A LOT OF SHADY STUFF in the past, it just almost always never gets reported or put into a video game, for obvious reasons. A new perspective, something that does not immediately push Western geopolitical views on the person playing the game, is a breath of fresh air in gaming.
It is very realistic. Western scum will always cover up their tracks by making up stories about an "enemy" that they made up as an enemy. That they do what they do as a means to "protect" the world while they destroy it on their own. Money is cancer and they live for it. Kill half the world for it. Same as is happening right now, just ukraine will be tarkov. Westerners have interests in resources there so they make up story about "Russia invading, Russia stealing" while Russia is doing nothing but helping its people, who lived on the land for centuries to survive the western backed almost nazis of the ukrainian govt.
@@Reason-g2t I mean, Russia and the US are two sides of the same coin but you can keep thinking it's different. We go tic for tac, man. We both need to change massively or be dissolved from the inside. I'm 100% in favor of seeing more western atrocities explored in media. I'm hispanic, I know what the US has done to us. Pretending that us, the people who aren't politicians, are different is exactly what our leaders want. We are both caged by beastly men.
I have been watching EFT since 2018. But I really don't have the time (or PC) to play the game. However, EFT lore is something that I was always interested in. I really do hope BSG gives out more lore and quests so that we all can understand Tarkov more. And to help me finish my fanfictions.
Minor correction at the beginning. Eft isnt really post apocalyptic rather just a region within russia that has been sealed off from the outside world. Good video overall very comprehensive
I love this game so much, the lore and gameplay are sooo good, it’s a shame that the learning curve is so high which keeps most players from playing, but I don’t want them to change the game and make it easier, the beauty of hardship leading to reward is so great and slapping on well written lore is just a cherry on top
Great vid, earned you a sub, i feel like lore doesn’t get enough attention considering half of the games appeal comes from it’s incredible setting and it’s setting comes from it’s story, I honestly feel like part of the reason people start to dislike the game is because they get into habits of treating the game like a PvP arena so much forget about well thought out allusions to backstory, black keycard room is way less cool when you think of it as “the room with the injectors” instead of “the terra group human experiment chamber” Also this video has some killer editing
A little known fact about Russia. PMCs are outlawed. Which makes having a Kremlin funded PMC investigating TerraGroup the absolute perfect, genius cover story.
Whose ass did you pull this from? There are multiple known russian PMCs operating in Africa, Syria and Libya, probably other places we don't know about. Even the most cursory Google search confirms this.
@@rodiculous9464 "As a formal matter, PMCs are illegal under the Russian constitution, which reserves all matters of defense, security, and foreign policy for the state. Several proposals to legalize PMCs have been made in the Russian Duma, as well as in the executive branch, but they have not made much progress." -Paul Stronski. This article is from June 2nd, 2020. So, although they do exist, the Kremlin is not allowed to "Officially" cooperate with them or claim them as theirs, for maximum plausible deniability. Even the most cursory Google search confirms this.
The introduction of the "Obdolbos Cocktail" is a cool look into what they were up to in the labs. It's described as an experimental drug and it's effects are amazing. You practically become a super soldier for the price of %20 chance of death on injection.
This is a thing you see in any big mmo...great lore and constant updates and releases. This game will be famous for a long time if they keep adding more quests and lore.
I have a headcanon that terragroup was a front for/affiliated with the cult, idk why as the only evidence i have is them testing on humans, the cultists having tons of terragroup drugs, and the marked rooms having USEC weapons in them, but for some reason that’s my favorite way to think of it
Scavs before: “scavengers just looking for food and water to survive in Tarkov.”
Scavs now: *headshot snipe 70 meters with MP-133*

thank you, youtube algorithms. such a compact yet informative cut-through of the lore so far, absolute A+!
I have been very interested on tarkov’s lore for a while now, And I can’t wait to find out new things about it
Read a book called Tarkov predator
I played Contract Wars back in the day on Facebook xD
When he said Contract Wars, it solidified my suspicion.
No way that contract wars
SAME. When I first saw footage of tarkov back in 2016-2017 I really thought it looked a lot like a game i used to play on my moms laptop on facebook LOL
Sadly the game is abandoned by the devs and is unplayable
Same, man. I remember rolling the roulette and getting a free HK 417D
This video is really so well done. Even the tone of the narration was on par for a darker lore subject like Tarkov. Big Sub

Lol you are probably not trash. The game hasn’t been wiped for a while and lots of people are using some good ass gear
Ever heard of EmuTarkov? Its basically singleplayer Tarkov with AI controlled PMCs. Its really fun and chill.
Really good storytelling my guy! best of luck to you, hope this gets more attention!
I surprisingly knew quite a bit of this, sick video man
