Exfil is an Escape From Tarkov Podcast
The deep dive you all thought was coming last week. Flea Market and the new level 20 requirement.
You may be surprised to hear the opinions of MTBtrigger and Ronal on this episode. They cover everything from the entire history of the Flea Market to how the (possibly unintended) changes to progression are being affected by the RNG in Tarkov.
What problem is Battlestate trying to fix with this change?
Does the change help high or low playtime players more?
Many suggestions and thoughts to how the system could be modified or improved are given, but the episode is rounded out by Ronal and MTB’s opinions on systems that other games use to solve the perceived problems BSG is tackling.
All this and more in the episode!

Exfil is an Escape From Tarkov Podcast
Patch 12.11 is here! MTBtrigger and Ronal break down everything they’ve seen so far in the patch and what you can expect to see when you dive into some raids.
MTB talks about his first encounter with the new raid boss on Factory - Tagilla, as well as the new expansion and additional areas that were added to the Factory map.
The hosts talk about their feelings regarding the flea market now requiring a player to reach level 20 on their PMC to access it and what that could mean for the early, mid, and end of wipe scenarios.
Lastly, Ronal and MTB share their tips for starting out this wipe with a focus on surviving more, shaking the rust off, and getting the jump on enemy PMCs in pvp.
All this and more in the episode!

Exfil is an Escape From Tarkov Podcast
On this episode MTBtrigger and Ronal answer the question posed at the end of episode 71: "What do we want to see in the game for Beta to be officially over?"
The hosts get into a great conversation about the Flea Market, Bots, Achievements, Open World Concepts, and Persistent vs Non-Persistent PMC's.
To wrap the episode up, MTB talks about an exciting new project where he is documenting each task in Tarkov, one at a time… so we named it… One Task at a Time.
Look for a guide series in the future to show off many different strategies for completing each task. Be sure to check in at twitch.tv/mtbtrigger and catch it live.

Exfil is an Escape From Tarkov Podcast
On this episode MTBtrigger and Ronal talk about what it means to be in beta. They discuss what parts of the game are ‘release ready’ and which parts they believe still need some work.
Additionally, the pair discuss what it could look like to add gating mechanics into the game, namely level bracketing to pair similarly leveled (not skill based) characters in maps together.
Do you think this would work?
What do you think Tarkov needs to finish or add to the game to be 1.0 release ready?
All this and more in the episode!

Exfil is a weekly Escape From Tarkov Podcast
On this episode MTBtrigger and Ronal take a deep dive into a random thought regarding game design and its effect on how long, or if, you play.
It started with a thought during hideout keeping by MTBtrigger regarding his goals being met and not having many reasons right now to log in. He goes on to explain that in a seasonal model this can happen, and in many other games it is expected.
Ronal adds in his perspective but also brings the conversation back to game design and ways Battlestate could further design the game or add to it to combat this or even give large segments of players other things to do, even if it means less rewards and less risk.
All this and more in the episode!

Exfil is a weekly Escape From Tarkov Podcast
On this episode MTBtrigger and Ronal talk about the recent Bitcoin Changes and Ronal’s video discussing the changes.
A popular sentiment in the Tarkov community is that ‘Battlestate Hates Casual Players’ which Ronal and MTB talk about and lean more towards the ‘Battlestate doesn’t UNDERSTAND casual players’ and why they think this might be the case.
After breaking down why changes get made, from a game design standpoint, in the middle of a ‘season’ Ronal and MTB discuss the reactionary development decisions and how they may be in opposition to the long term game design philosophy of making Escape From Tarkov persistent.
Lastly, the pair cover the analysis of adding in hours played per week to the stash value survey results covered last week. There are some very interesting spikes in the data, but using these two data sets leads to more questions and excitement for future data reveals.
All this and more in the episode!

Exfil is a weekly Escape From Tarkov Podcast
On this episode MTBtrigger and Ronal discuss the first section of survey results from the Exfil Community Poll. This week’s topic is Stash Value.
MTB and Ronal also talk about community and what it means in a surprising introspective moment caused by the overwhelming number of surveys filled out.
The pair ends with a deep dive into what types of systems could take advantage of the already created Stash Value calculation and how that could be used to develop long term mainstays in Escape From Tarkov.

Exfil is a weekly Escape From Tarkov Podcast
On this episode Ronal killed MTB
He’s not salty about it.
He most likely won’t write the description to let everyone know Ronal shot him in the head while duoing on Factory.
And the beginning of the episode probably doesn’t start with MTB calling Ronal out about it.
After laughing and reminiscing about Factory and the teamkill - which was hilarious - The pair break down patch 12.10 and their brief experience with it the day after release.
All this and more in the episode!
