The Directed Downtime Action System
I've been planning on running a Changeling: The Lost LARP since just before the pandemic hit, so I've had a lot of time to plan things out, and to make tweaks and changes to the usual live action format for a New World of Darkness game. However, it was pointed out by some of my players that the experience point earnings for a LARP (especially one that, at time of writing, only meets once per month) was going to leave characters on a very slow growth track.

This Attachment Interaction is Incredibly Interesting
One thing I have always loved about Tarkov’s intrinsically complex weapon modding system, is how sometimes you can discover interesting interactions between certain attachments. Whether it is intentional or not. Many years ago, there was a bug where you could attach both a PSO and a REAP-IR thermal to an AK and have the thermal optic come out of the PSO. Which was interesting, but not very practical because you needed a thermal in order to do this trick. And it was quickly patched out once it was discovered. Earlier this wipe we had bugged M4’s that could attach both the jailbreak attachment as well as a suppressor for disgustingly low recoil. And while the ability to put both attachments on has been removed, there are some of those M4’s floating around in the world of Tarkov, even to this day. So, coming across one is like coming across a little time capsule of something once lost. But recently, by complete accident, I learned a fun little interaction between the PSO scopes for the AKs and the upgradable yellow iron sight attachments in the game. This isn’t going to be a long one, but let’s go over it quickly.

The Eternal Challenge of the Solo Player in Tarkov
Depending on how many people you decide to run with in Tarkov, your results are going to be significantly different. A 5-man squad, stomping around the maps of Tarkov can be a dominating presence no matter where you go, but that comes with its positive and negative aspects. On the flipside, running Tarkov by yourself can also create interesting problems that need to be solved, while also delivering a comprehensive challenge to those who wish to take it on. No matter how you decide to load into a raid, we have all, at one point, played this game solo. And no matter how good you are at the game, playing by yourself will always be a challenge. An exciting, and interesting one. But a challenge, nonetheless.

Tarkov is the Most Fun with Bad Guns; Here's Why
Occasionally, I like to take a break from using all the insanely good weapons and do something dumb in Tarkov. Whether that’s a silly challenge or handicap I place on myself, or just using a weapon that isn’t popular by any means. Little things like this are how I stay interested in Tarkov when we are this deep into a single wipe cycle. And one weapon I have been using for the last few days has been honestly super fun to use, even if it’s incredibly challenging sometimes. The MP-18; Tarkov’s break action rifle. Technically, it falls under the shotgun category of weapons (for some reason), but it really should be in its own class. Regardless, this weapon has been a blast to use the last few times I have logged onto Tarkov. When looking at its stats, it doesn’t do anything spectacular, below average ergonomics, higher than average recoil when fired, and you only get to shoot once before you need to reload. And the MOA on it isn’t that good either, at 3.16. Meaning, there’s a chance you will miss your shot even if you are dead accurate with your sights. There isn’t much that can be done to the weapon either. You can swap out the wood furniture for a polymer handguard and buttstock. And you can fit an optic onto the weapon. Now, your bad weapon of choice doesn’t have to be the MP-18; it can be any weapon that isn’t considered good in the eyes of most. But Tarkov’s bad weapons are sometimes the most fun way to engage with the game, especially this late into a wipe.
