Escape from Tarkov is one of the most popular realistic online multiplayer FPS games to come out in the last few years. Developed and published by BattleState Games, it is currently in closed beta for the last 5 years.
Running on the Unity engine, the game is set in a place where a war is ongoing between two private militaries called USEC and BEAR.
If your character dies, you will lose all the loot you collected except for a few items. But since the game is still in beta, a handful of bugs and issues such as the one where they lose fence rep for killing scavs.
That being said, BattleState Games recently added a VOIP feature that allows players to talk to each other. But as it turns out, Escape from Tarkov hackers are making use of the newly introduced VOIP function to threaten others to drop their loot.
Some say that hackers are rampant in the game and openly threaten others over VOIP that they will kill them if they don’t surrender everything they have.
While cheating was already rampant in Escape from Tarkov, players say that the introduction of VOIP has helped them see how bad the situation is.
Players are demanding that BattleState Games take strict actions against those using ESP, wallhacks, and aimbots and implement a more effective anti-cheat system.
Many say that the addition of a kill-cam replay feature would enable them to see who’s hacking so they can easily report them.
We hope Escape from Tarkov developers listens to the player base and improve the state of the game gets better in the near future.
