I started out selling M4A1s that I looted from dead players, and making a small profit on each, but quickly found out that I could do better by taking the gun apart and selling the lower receiver-basically a gun's motherboard-to wannabe gun-builders desperate for a bargain. Matches might feel like a David and Goliath-esque fight as you engage a fully armed commando with a pistol and are rewarded with all of his gear, but more often than not you'll be taken out immediately after, your newly-stolen loot lost forever. Death comes quickly, though, and takes all of your gear. If you make it out alive, you keep what you found. The difference is that, instead of a persistent open world like DayZ, players are dropped into a zone, given a time limit, and an extraction point on the other side. You play as a scavenger of the fictional Russian province after war has ravaged the region. Sharing some elements with battle royale games like PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, Escape from Tarkov is a survival shooter that is hardcore to the point of unnecessary brutality.
But the only thing I care about in Escape From Tarkov is obtaining obscene wealth by finding, modding, and selling guns. Most people treat Escape From Tarkov like any other survival shooter, hoovering up whatever items they can fit in their inventory and trying to make it out alive. The real profit would be when I tore it apart for the individual parts, using them to finish off builds I was working on back in my workshop.
The gun was a prize, both to fight with and to sell. Though our brief firefight got my blood pumping, his fully modded M4A1 assault rifle was much more exciting. Now, with access to the player-driven Flea Market-an auction house where everything can be traded or bartered to other players-I know that is no longer the case. When I first started playing Escape From Tarkov, everything felt valuable.
