In a remarkable achievement, a streamer named Tigz has reportedly become the first player to successfully escape from Tarkov. This milestone follows the recent launch of version 1.0 of the popular extraction shooter on Steam. Tigz accomplished this feat in just 2.5 weeks, dedicating around 150 hours to the game.
Escape from Tarkov: An Overview
Escape from Tarkov blends elements of strategic planning and combat. Players aim to loot resources while navigating the dangerous environment of Tarkov. Only recently, the game incorporated the ability to escape, adding new dimensions to gameplay.
The 1.0 Update
The 1.0 update introduced significant changes, including four different ending scenarios. According to Nikita Buyanov, the head of Battlestate Games, this version shifts the game’s focus more towards a Player vs. Environment (PvE) approach, resembling elements from Call of Duty campaigns.
- Streamer Tigz’s notable achievement: First escape after 150 hours of gameplay.
- New four-ending scenarios introduced in version 1.0.
- Tigz has nearly 100,000 YouTube subscribers and 180,000 Twitch followers.
Details of the Escape
Tigz performed the escape live on Twitch, showcasing the moment thousands of viewers had been eagerly anticipating. In the climactic scene, the player boards a ship and experiences a tense moment as fighter jets approach, shortly before a nuclear explosion occurs. This confirms many fan theories regarding the game’s ending.
Future of Escape from Tarkov
Despite Tigz’s successful escape, players can still explore three other endings. These alternative scenarios might include different outcomes, such as failing to extract or facing dire consequences during the escape attempt. The only way to discover these outcomes is through continuous gameplay or live streams, where fans can enjoy the journey alongside their favorite streamers.
