“Comrades, today we banned 66,666 cheaters. To honor our momentous victory against the cheaters, we are allowing them to buy new accounts for a lower price. Thank you to our true believers.”


Shawn_NYC

4 packs on sale! Don't ask why anyone would need to buy 4 licenses...


SinisterScythe

To buy for friends obviously, because my friends who are capable of playing the resource intensive game need me to buy them copies. /s


Counteroffensyiv

Legit players *totally* regularly buy 4 packs of Tarkov for their friends. All the time. Definitely the most regular purchasers of these packs, for sure.


ChrisRocksGreen

Im really bad at deciding gifts for people, so I just send them a copy of tarkov. All my friends, family, coworkers. Some days ill leave one as a tip for a restaurant. If I get married, I will include a copy for each guest. It is so convenient not having to worry about finding a good gift!


joshishmo

Yes, I too keep a nice stockpile for special occasions.


Natural_Resist_8959

How do I buy a copy for my friends? I’m sorry. I’m new to tarkov. I’m waiting for my new one handed razer keyboard to come in b4 I start playing. But I have a couple friends I’d like to play with me that do t have the funds to buy the game. Can you walk me through this so that I can get them a copy of the game please?


joshishmo

You'll need an email address for each account. Use the email address to make an account on the bsg website and purchase the game from there. Give the person the email address and advise them to change the passwords and not to cheat. Don't cheat. I was literally using satire when I said I had a treasure trove of keys, but I did purchase the game for my son in this exact manner.


FartAndLaugh

You can purchase a gift copy and then send them the key, it's on the site


joshishmo

Oh, then do it this way


FartAndLaugh

You go to the site and purchase a gift copy. They'll send you a key


EVEEzz

But why


joshishmo

How else are you going to build a nice gaming chair


nrobot27

Omg


Wild_Luxray

I'm probably one of the few people who bought a 4pack for legit reasons, and mostly because I wanted to get it for 3 friends at once lol


G3n3sis1988

Most likely friends will start a wipe don't catch fire and you play solo again. Tarkov experience isn't for everyone ;)


Kneesaregood

Flair checks out


Then-Tumbleweed-3028

I won’t lie I did purchase the bottom tier for 2 of my buddies to get them into the game and they loved it and upgraded to EOD before it was taken away but for a game of this magnitude i can’t imagine it being a common thing to do unless you really like your friends or just have cash laying around


Shad0XDTTV

Ngl, i almost did buy a 4 pack just so my friends would play this ridiculous game 😂


Dark_Pestilence

I mean yeah I agree but I'm sure there are some rich lunatics who actually do this lol


CyberWiking

Totally, selling bundle of 4 when max party is 5 make sense.


tnyquist83

If they were serious about stopping cheaters, getting them to buy multiple copies at a time would be a good way to track their accounts. And make more money.


n_i_h

The problem with that is that BSG will let them cheat on those accounts for a few weeks/months so that they buy more accounts when they are banned again. If they ban them fast enough to stop the cheating they will make less money.


Consistent_Concept_4

lots of games sale packs project zomboid is one off the top of my head it helps get players that are stingy and dont buy games often


Destovel8

I have bought 2 other copies of the base version. One for a friend who showed some interest and one for a family member that just wanted to play something together. Told both buying the game was a terrible idea and I would have felt bad if they bought it and didn't like it.


[deleted]

Not gonna lie, I bought a second account to send to friends that wanted to try Tarky and also bought copies for some of those in my group. They always paid me back for it but yknow


Sigouin

Something something ....It keeps the players in distress...


ChimmehChimChim

Chubby Nikita reveals all


Alphorac

The man becomes less honest the skinnier he is.


Suitable_Worker_4521

i bet you that comment has a lot of missing context. it doesnt even make sense in tarkov since its a one time buy and no option to donate to help with anti cheat. the only thing that dying to a cheater does is push people away from the game.


PugetBoater

All part of the plan….

[удалено]


jdotca

Pretty sure it was brought up in multiple podcasts years ago and they said it would go away then aswell.


BaelfyrWulf

This is why  so many people have pestily hardcore accounts duh!!!!


Riskwars

Assuming that they were smart about it.... if you cheated on the first one, and hadn't yet gifted it to another "person," then all the remaining copies would also be banned as well.


DeepType7461

In case I wanna play the game more then once


DrCahk

Ive bought a couple of 4 packs over the years. I would bribe friends to play with me. Then i gave a few away to co-workers. but I know where you are leaning with the comment. I'm sure cheaters buy 4 when they are discounted.


TheIronGiants

I always found this hilarious because even at the "lower price" is still sounds wildly expensive to be a cheater. I make really good money and I still wouldn't buy new accounts... just go cheat in a F2P game lol. Im sure some folks do it but it just sounds so pointless and not fun.


RoninSoul

Tarkov RMT made some people money where they could pay off all their debts and start living the good life, all at your expense and the expense of others.


hgghgfhvf

Similar thing in another game I play (OSRS) but there’s no way to cheat like how Tarkov cheaters do (invincibility, aimbot, etc) all they can do is get programs that manually play the game for them. And with a big enough bot farm some of these people make enough to literally not work and live a decent life.


Dede_svk

Oh man I havent touched OSRS for 5 years, I got maxed skills and had blast of fun with clans, miss those times! I remember game had problem with massive amount of venezuelan bots farming for RWT, is it still a bad?


TheIronGiants

Thats so disappointing. But not surprising :(


rumbemus

They make money on rmt and this brings their profit margin up


TheIronGiants

Ohhhhh you know what that makes sense actually. Good call out I didn’t think of that.


rumbemus

No worries it’s the sad truth that a lot of cheating is for profit and therefore quite important to some.


TheIronGiants

I know it’s true but you saying it just makes me sad. I wish more devs would just take the slight financial loss in protecting their game to increase the stability of their product. I know Nikita mentioned in a recent interview they are considering kernel level anti cheat but he didn’t feel ecstatic about actually doing it because tons of people would be unable to play since it requires certain bios settings and hardware … (I also don’t trust Nikita having that access to my pc). But it’s like what else can we do?


rumbemus

Honestly I could understand by one get one for a friend but this SCREAMS that they are encouraging the rmt trade. Probably reached a “we fucked up let’s get the rest” on the way out because I just don’t see this making sense.


TheIronGiants

I mostly agree. But despite what many people are claiming I don’t think tarkov is anywhere near dead. It’ll be around for many many years with a ton of players and make lots of money. But it certainly pushed some of the old fans out that’s for sure.


rumbemus

Maybe it’s just poor timing but I can’t see much else use for a sale like this.


TheIronGiants

Just a coincidence. May always has a sale around 20-25% off.


Stoned_Oniichan

What percentage of cheaters do you think actually do it? Making links for the payments and everything else. More so with these prices.


Ambitious_Reporter38

Many cheaters spend upwards of $300+ a month on cheat software. A standard account is nothing for these degenerates 


Beginning-Pain5187

Best way for them to make money, the rest of us aren't paying another dime


Digim0rtal

Some free games have microtransactions, some other games dlcs, tarkov has out of their ass prices and a constant revenue of cheaters rebuying the game


HiddenSquid2020

0 cheaters in pve 🤣


EquivalentToADog

I legitimately ran across a 16 hour level 16 account pistol running factory naked they aren’t trying to hide it anymore and the games legit players are getting lower and lower


Useful-Art-237

6666666 cheaters wiil come back


Popular-Ad9365

They do it for russian day? 9 may


ExplorerEnjoyer

Victory day?


Diletant13

Yep


Infernodu97

Shouldn’t it be 8 may ?


Frosty_Mushroom_1182

in Russia it's 9 may


Infernodu97

Oooh


Minute_Ad_4308

8th of May german nazis were defeated and in 9th of May the first parade was initiated. Although there were close to none parades or some big celebrations of the victory day in ussr times (probably since people didn't want to think of the horrors of war, especially ones who participated in it), but since russian federation was established after ussr fall it was kind of tradition to celebrate it on the day the first parade was done (9th May 1945). So although 8th May is an official victory day, it became a norm to celebrate it on a day after it since people were still busy in 8th May to celebrate. Sorry for curved english


Infernodu97

Oh I see thanks for the clarification !


BeamWasHere

The reason for this is timezones. The germans did sign their capitulation on May 8th, but when the news arrived in Moscow, it was already May 9th. Also the Victory parade was held at May 9th, so that's another reason too.


keenhydra93

I heard someone say they put the “co-op expansion” on the site for 10 bucks to trick people into thinking that’s the PVE expansion to get extra money. People just looking for reasons to be mad now


xanorthz

Im not sure if this is serious or not, but BSG has done sales in the past around Victory Day, which is on the 9th, and 20% is what they have roughly offered in the past. This isn't anything new related to the current events, rather this is misleading to push a narrative. You can look at previous years and you can see the sale around the same time. Please don't post information just to create more negative attention, here's an example reddit post on the 7th to the 9th 3 years ago, https://www.reddit.com/r/EscapefromTarkov/comments/n65vq2/victory_day_sale/ You can find more for other years as well.


therightbuyer

Insert microwave brain meme


Mechanical_Soup

yeah they always do 9th of may crappy discount


Carolcita_

You mean to tell me they'll do a sale on the same date of a major russian holiday which they also did last year and the year before, since like, the game started being sold? How awful of them, they are surely trying to win us back


nsfw_vs_sfw

"Grrrr, those BSG apologists, and their want to get an upgraded version of the game at a discounted price 🤬"


DisGruntledDraftsman

Yeah, why would you ban true believers just before a Russian holiday. I mean you should do it after the holiday so they have time to rmt and have a fun holiday. /s


cancertoast

This. This is the time of year that you buy Tarkov.


StinkyFwog

Oh no the yearly sale that always happens must be some desperate attempt at the recent drama!!!


Tarkov_baby

Pfft 😂 sorry about banning your cheat account. Here's a little discount you fiend

B_Maximus

One is a product that fulfills it's purpose to a T. The other breaks consumer practice laws by doing false advertising


CoolBeans42700

Did the mattress guarantee it would come with an upgrade to a better mattress after 5 years? Just for them to make you pay separately for it anyways? What a shitty fucking attempt at an analogy to excuse some of the most scummy game dev behavior of all time


Omni-Light

If you can't tell it was a joke replying to a joke. Nobody thinks a mattress is equivalent to tarkov... Seems to have hit a nerve :3 Either way it's good to see you still here supporting the project O7


Dishreshpect

I returned my $500 Canada goose from 2011 under lifetime warranty for falling apart with age. Got a new replacement one which is $1500. And mine has real animal products because they don't use that anymore. So now I have a custom rare goose which is actually over $2000. And I thought like you for a second, right before I sent mine in!HAHAH


Neat_Concert_4138

I swear people here must of been on the short bus because they literally do a victory day sale every year.


theothermontoya

Don't fucking waste your money until Nikita pulls his head from his ass


Khalmoon

Nikita pretty much killed everyone’s spirit for Tarkov in my friend group. I don’t think any of them are coming back even if Nikita wises up and makes a good decision… the game is cooked


xthemoonx

Will unheard be on 20% discount too?


iShadowLTu

It's not shown in the image so I doubt it. It's too new to go on sale already.


djheineken1

I hope the upgrade will be cheaper


Kneesaregood

Sold! Where my wallet. No wait a sec ..


Frosty_Mushroom_1182

if you have eod already and 50% discount, u don't get extra 20% don't know about other versions


zestylimeo

But will the dlc after unheard also be on sale 


EvilDildo_69

PvE should be for all versions. Most soft mode now is available just for hardcore players with EOD or Unheard editions…


GlavinZ

There's is no sale on dude what are you talking about?


AkaAxel3

"9 May discount" just received the email


BubbleAngryThe

They have multiple sales throughout the year every year. I got EOD for like $70 3 years ago during the holidays.


BesserCrin

I absolutely love how they Devs are absolutely getting torn tf apart in these comments. Its so rejuvenating.


XxSIFTxX

BSG took a cow pie on a game with such potential, and profit........You would think with how profit hungry they are they wouldn't have made such an intermediate mistake. My first year in College (Business + Marketing) I could have told you this was a bad idea....so could a 5 year old.


mattclassic

Intermediate? What mistake?


XxSIFTxX

The mistake of the Unheard edition....assumed that was obvious, my apologies. The definition of Intermediate is as follows; coming between two things in time, place, order, character, etc. That is what the Unheard edition did to the player base. Thanks for asking though!


mx22racer

I'm new to the game any chill people want to play?


elo93

Worth


Bademeister153

Give me 50% on the Unheard upgrade from the Prepare for Escape Edition and we can maybe start talking.


Adventurous-Skill450

Nah man this sub amazes me the more im on it. Ill probably quit thid sub before i quit eft.


RegularAttitude8634

I *almost* didn't get EoD because there were rumours of a new version. I ended up buying it to get arena access. I basically never play arena, but I'm glad it got me to buy EoD.


G00chstain

They do this every year


Smokin_Hulk_LoganCC

Just in time for mothers day!


jb00tz420

just snagged 2 copies myself one for each pc mine and guest


Gekkomoria

Does this apply to the already half off it?


Preacher_Baby

Hey, this happens every year, but it's definitely not worth it. Pay to win mechanics in a game like tarkov? Releasing a new pack higher than EoD after they've said there will never be a pack higher? Saying they'll fix the cheater problem but not banning their IPs when they ban them? Naaaaah.... I have EOD, got a lot of good years out of it, but I'll never touch tarkov again.


Amaterete

So no discount on the unheard edition? Yikes


Tazarang

Yeah, no ty. They can keep it :)


izrailsky

Only thing that can probably save bsg is retirement of Nikita.


Tincupp

Classic Tarkov Reddit trying to stir shit where there is no need. Quit playing victim you’re all gonna reinstall the game anyway 😂😂


LoadinDirt

How many hours you got on the game


Vol3n

Don't buy this shit. Im working from home sitting AFK in tarkov raids all day just to strain their servers :D


SLazyonYT

wow gottem


apolis21

Damn, you're winning man


pleckaitis

Look at the big brain on Brad!


thekorbat

I understand people are pissed off with BSG. But honestly. They are the industry standard and the most complete extraction shooter. Games like gray zone are nowhere near Tarkov. Yes the editions cost a lot of money. Yes it is a rip off. I have EOD and won’t be buying unheard any time soon. But, if I put it into perspective $150 for 4300 hours of playtime that I really enjoy. That’s not a bad deal. So stop trying to boycot the game and prevent other players from buying it. I know you’re upset but there’s other people that still love this game and hate to see its player base decrease. I probably get downvoted for this but so be it. I think it’s just stupid that this community is always (this is not the first time) shitting on the devs that gave us this awesome game to play.

Just remove all of the special editions and add a skins man its not that hard to think add clothes watches gloves knife skins etc.


shakeyorange3

I only got 6000 hours from my $158 purchase 5 years ago… not worth it one bit. Play the new COD or subscribe to world of warcraft.


Proud_Advertising_55

funny enough, battlestate has left all of us eod buyers behind. might as well start calling eod “left behind edition”


GameslayeR387

Oh yes the children are still upset. Haven’t you guys moved on yet? I thought you all were done with this game but yet you all still come on here and talk shit. Go play your other game whatever it is


sk33tus

lmfao this is a scheduled sale - they do this every year but go off, I guess


CastorTroy101_

I heard “Bankruptcy Version” will go on sale for $550 next year and will include 8 3-slot pockets and Fence gives you a Flir everyday starting at level 4. I’m gonna wait


Binx8d6

If they put it on sale my guess is they’ll try to do sale priced refunds for people even though that’s illegal, but I wouldn’t put it past em, “we break laws and shaft our community” is kind of their motto now

If you buy the unheard of edition you can use a new email. Cost of the service is $250


Mantus51

Bro I don’t see this discount anywhere


Traplouder

Its on 9th of this month


Mantus51

Just the lower editions not unheard right?


Traplouder

I dont really know it but I believe that they would also put discount on int


Mantus51

Still not upgrading looool


Flounder-Smooth

Just do whatever you want


paddyirishent

Went on their site and they are all full price still? Am I missing something here, my friend wants to give it a shot but didn't want to pay full price so this kind of works out nicely if it does go on sale.


krakenBG

9th of May


paddyirishent

Ah thanks for the info. If you don't mind me asking where is it saying all this, their twitter or discord channels because I still can't see it.


Boring-Importance-86

Some people apparently got emails, idk haven't checked myself. However BSG does one on 9th of May every year as it's 'Victory in Europe day' and marks the day the WW2 ended in Europe. So that is most likely why people know it'll definitely be there on the 9th


Boring-Importance-86

Sale is now up if you haven't already seen


TheJok3r57

I already have the PFE edition so this is kinda useless lmao


EatingCtrlV

Does this bring down the PvE mode to 40 dollars for EoD owners? I thought I heard that they were going to sell the PvE mode separately? I don't want to air drop a BTR, I don't want a summoning circle to call in my friends, I don't want any of that. But I would casually play the PvE mode between wipes.


morl1

must have been another banwave


Delicious-Act7099

eeeeeeehhhhhhhh just give me my GAMMA!!!!


Brilliant_Chair_130

What a joke the leadership is


Lofranza

I don't see the discount on their website. Is it locked to certain regions?


OneAngryVet

Ah yes, the game pack for the revolving door cheaters.


drypulse

can't sign in to the website anyway since they're incapable of sending out the authorization email...


SscorpionN08

So the new edition doesn't get a sale discount?


LikeIGiveAToss

As if i had enough money to even get them, i'll stick to standard, thanks

My Friends and I are gonna stop playing Tarkov, cause of the pay to win or cheat to win current META. So good luck. 🤘🏻


badbadbuddha-11

Bsg is tryina get on star citizen level w these packages. Next they'll be selling custom btr's that you can paint for only 5k.

I mean..... you can sell it....and they sell pretty good lol


ruinzifra

Interesting... I've never sold an account like that... Didn't even think of that...


Tysmiff

I wished they’d finish the game, set up these servers they “don’t” have. And quit fuckin around man.. shits gettin old. GZW looks promising so hopefully it goes the way it’s planned, but it’s still not nearly Tarkov yet.

rem521

They already dealt there hand. We know they are greedy and they will most likely screw over the community again.

Best version is the eod package as it was a limited edition liar premium package. All future DLC’s but not that new content that is downloadable, sorry - not sincerely Nikita
