Tarkov’s Transit Points are Awesome but Poorly Executed
(Intro) Everyone has mixed feelings about the hardcore wipe so far. But most people seem to agree that the forced transit points to get to the other maps, was a stupid idea. On paper, it’s an interesting concept. With the marathon challenge, the ability to go from one map straight to another without offloading whatever gear you have on you was introduced. A new way for players to engage with the maps and overall, having to think about Tarkov differently whilst in that separate game mode. And once the event was over, the ability to transit was simply added to all maps after one minute of being in the raid. It’s a genuinely cool concept. And while I still personally am on board with it being the main way we get around this hardcore wipe, there are some obvious growing pains that need to an addressed soon. But before we get into what’s wrong with the transit system this wipe, let’s reflect on the marathon mode, when transit was introduced, what happened after the event, and the very recent change made to transit that can make it a viable playstyle should BSG nail down some of the problem points with the system as a whole.
