You may have seen DottyHack on twitch, but have you listened to him on the microphone!??! We got ahold of him to talk for about an hour! He has ~3 years of Escape From Tarkov experience so we wanted to know more about the history of the game and his streaming career.
We learned about his past as a traveling musician in a Metal band. We talk about his recent partnership status with Twitch!
He breaks down his favorite budget guns and loadouts for Escape From Tarkov including the strategy behind why he likes those setups.
Many changes have come to the world of Tarkov and we got to learn about a few of those from Dotty. Interchange before Killa, Interchange before they added scavs (players only - sounded really neat), Shoreline before resort was added, and much more inside the episode
The episode wraps up with some of the things we, including Dotty, are looking forward to in future patches.
We hope you enjoy it!
You can also find DottyHack in the EXFIL discord, on Twitch, and on Twitter
Goodluck on your SCAV runs - we look forward to meeting with you and hunting down some PMCs!

This week we sat down with Dadcaster. You may be familiar with him if you have ever stopped by the twitch streamer Hambinooo’s channel.
Dadcaster was the person who took MTB under his wing when he first started and pulled him along.
His main Tarkov focus recently has been completing all of the tasks to get the elusive Kappa Container so we couldn’t think of a better person to talk task strategy with.
On this episode we also go over the podcast that Battlestate put out on their twitch channel (twitch.tv/battlestategames) which you can still find under their videos section. It is roughly two hours worth of Nikita answering questions and trolling the EFT community. We watched the whole thing and talk about the things we were interested in and, as is tradition, went down many rabbit holes.
Among the things discussed: New weight system, new armor plate system, cultists, lag & desync issues, map duration, our favorite tasks, the tasks we wish would be removed from the game, the development philosophy behind Escape From Tarkov, and much more in the episode
We hope you enjoy it!
You can also find Dadcaster in the EXFIL discord or feel free to DM him on discord!
Lots of opinions here - If you don’t agree or have a different strategy we’d love to hear about it!
Goodluck on your SCAV runs - we look forward to meeting with you and hunting down some PMCs!

You’ll learn very quickly that in the last week we saw a fantastic video by GeneralSam (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o286LaBz__Y&t=901s) - Make sure you check it out. It is basically the perfect comparison between playstyles and echoes how MTB and Ronal differ in playstyle - with shocking accuracy.
We talk about our feelings regarding Battlestate’s decision to lower the raid times and then dive in to how that is affecting the way people each map that has been reduced. Most notably are Customs and Interchange. Is it a bad thing? We’re not sure and definitely haven’t had enough time to fully engage the new raid times, but trends are already appearing.
The Rat vs. The Chad - we were previously talking about this as the ‘W Key’ and the ‘slower playstyle’. We now have perfect names for the way we play. MTB is the Chad, Ronal is the Rat. We talk about some adventures where our strategies work really well together and where it doesn’t quite go so well. We are already looking forward to breaking down future scenarios with this new lense. Go check out GeneralSam on Youtube - there are some hilarious Tarkov videos.
Lastly, we go through our favorite strategies for inventory management. We talk about how we approach inventory and stash management and give our best tips and tricks. I think we both learned something new from each other on this episode so we hope you do as well.

Let us know what your best inventory management tips are and if you are a Rat or Chad - make sure to join the discord and let us know which camp you’re in. Own it!

Join us for EXFIL a brand new Escape From Tarkov podcast. In this episode we talk about Gear Fear! How to deal with it, and how to overcome it! We also talk about Grenades and basic gear loadouts for the Early game.
Gear fear seemed a little too broad of a term (even though it is used often) so we decided to dig into the various times you will experience it and then gave our best strategies for getting out of the gear fear paralysis.
We talk about how to use grenades to bait enemies, how to use it to scare enemies, and then why we think it is one of the most important non-weapon utility items in the game. Most of all we think you shouldn’t be scared to throw grenades, and throw them often, even if it means throwing it into the wall in front of you and having to run away screaming.
Lots of opinions here - If you don’t agree or have a different strategy we’d love to hear about it!
Goodluck on your SCAV runs - we look forward to meeting with you and hunting down some PMCs!

Join us for the 3rd Tarkov podcast, but the first branded episode of EXFIL our new Escape From Tarkov podcast. In this episode as we talk with Dan from @TheHotDrop podcast.
We cover the Twitch loot event, our experiences so far in the game, and why we think EFT will or will not be a mainstream game going into the future. Also, we touch on some simple things that if added to the game could change everything.
Many comparisons are made to titles that defined gaming culture or a gaming genre. Half-Life is referenced often as Dan and Ronal had a shared passion for the valve classic.
To end we give our best tips and strategies for having successful Interchange runs. We have some aggressive players and some not-so-aggressive players so there is something for everyone here!
Let us know if something in the episode helped you out (or if you disagree). We want to get better and if there is a topic you'd like us to cover please don't hesitate to reach out.
Goodluck on your scav runs - we look forward to meeting with you and hunting down some PMCs!

Are games that don’t hold your hand fun? What about games that don’t even acknowledge that you have a hand and if your hand is so much as spotted by another player or AI you will be shot? How does Tarkov compare to PUBG? Can a punishing game be fun for non-elitist FPS players?
Interestingly enough, Escape from Tarkov is like this, and we really like it so far.
We’re enjoying the noob journey, but also the way people step up to show us around.
We talk Scav runs, PMC raids, dying, more dying, and losing all of our stuff. The EFT episode starts now…

Welcome to EXFIL - An Escape From Tarkov (EFT) Podcast
This is our ‘announcement’ episode for the standalone Tarkov podcast. We talked about it for a few episodes on the XPGaming podcast and fell in love with the game so we decided to commit to a weekly show discussing Tarkov.
Your hosts for this podcast are:
MTBtrigger (aka Mike) who is a long-time FPS player (started in Counterstrike 1.3 and Team Fortress Classic days) but also enjoyed the Diablo games and World of Warcraft. Tarkov is an awesome mix of all his favorite genres.
Ronalgaming (aka Eric) has also been a PC gamer for many years and cut his teeth on early FPS titles, but really dug into strategy games like Starcraft and MMOs (WoW, etc.)
This podcast is part of the XPmedia network - Youtube Link
Our main focus on this podcast will be gameplay tips and tricks, patch notes, and our journey through getting better at the game - all with the goal of helping you get better at the game as well.
All types of players are welcome - It doesn’t matter whether you’ve played a single minute of the game, play it very casually, or you are hardcore grinding this game - You are welcome in our community Discord and we will have content focused on helping the newest Tarkov players and those that are hardcore. We hope you enjoy and believe you’ll find value in the podcast regardless of how you play the game.
You can expect weekly content from us wherever you download this podcast as well as the youtube channel (bonus content and content for other games, Gaming industry, and other technology topics on Youtube as well)
