In this video, I break down how Tarkov exploded in popularity, why it worked so well despite being brutally unforgiving, and why I believe Tarkov has always been hardcore. I dig into the history of FPS games, the rise of BRs like PUBG, how BSG slowly shaped Tarkov over the years, and why the recent “Hardcore Wipe” doesn’t quite feel like what it should have been. We’ll talk about: - Why Tarkov hit so hard after the Battle Royale craze - How Tarkov got harder, easier, and eventually “figured out” - The Flea Market, Hideout, and Arena — and how they changed the game - The good, bad, and confusing changes in the Hardcore Wipe - What “hardcore” really means for Tarkov in 2025 If you’ve ever loved, hated, or been hopelessly addicted to Tarkov, this is for you.
