Continuous Healing in Tarkov – The Small, Silent Victories
(Intro) The medical system in Tarkov can be a complex beast when you first start off. Knowing which items do what and when to use them is something you will slowly learn overtime. But a common complaint from many players was the unnecessary need to constantly cancel healing animations when multiple body parts need to be healed. And to be fair, after years and years of having to do this, even though I have the muscle memory down start a heal, cancel it and then heal again, it’s something we didn’t need to be doing. Luckily, it finally seems like BSG agreed and with patch 0.16 added a feature that now allows players to only have to press their heal button once and the medical kit will simply heal them until they hit their maximum HP value, or the kit runs out of uses. Whichever comes first. In the grand scheme of things, this is a small change compared to things like new guns, equipment, major mechanics, events or map alterations. But even the smallest of changes can have massive implications on the game if done correctly. Fortunately for the community, it was implemented correctly, if a little weird looking. But today, let’s go over the continuous healing mechanic, how it works, why it’s so impactful and why little things like this can be such a nice quality of life improvement for the game as a whole.

The Alchemist Assassin
"There is a location between the second and third lumbar that, if breached with even the tiniest of weapons, will result in a catastrophic failure of the body. The vessels in this location cannot be repaired by anything short of a miracle, and the subject will bleed out in mere moments. This location has been found in every humanoid subject that has been strapped to my table thus far, making it a best-practices priority target.

From Dice to Digital: How Tabletop RPGs Shaped Video Games
Tabletop role-playing games (TTRPGs) and video games share a common DNA.

Let’s take a deep dive into how TTRPGs have shaped the digital gaming world we know today.

The Goons are the Worst Bosses in Tarkov
(Intro) The Goons, Knight, Big Pipe, and Birdeye are the worst bosses in Tarkov. Now, that’s kind of a loaded statement, and depending on who you ask, and the context surrounding that initial statement, people’s choice for worst boss might be different. Bosses have always been a touchy subject across the entirety of EFT. People have varying opinions about many aspects regarding how they work, their spawn rates, and levels of aggression. It isn’t something that can be boiled down to a single slider going in one direction or the other. The many facets about all the AI also apply to the harder enemies in the game, namely the bosses across the maps. And while each boss provides different levels of challenge through different means, none even come close to the sheer powerhouses that are The Goons. Added with patch 0.12.12 which happened on June 29th 2022, for a while they were this kind of ominous group that could appear out of nowhere, were insanely aggressive, and in some aspects, broke the rules set in place for the world of EFT. And while the challenge is certainly there, it’s generally unfair if they function correctly. Emphasis on if because we’ll be going over that later. Today, I wanted to look at the Goons as a whole, what makes them so powerful, so frustrating to fight, where they fall short, and if they are really the hardest boss in the game.

Customs is Truly the Best Map in the Game
(Intro) Customs is one of the quintessential maps to ever be made for EFT. As one of the oldest maps in the game on offer, it has gone through many different iterations over the years. And with each adjustment or expansion, the map continued to get better. And now in 2025, we have ultimately reached the apex of what this map can offer. I doubt we will be getting any further expansions to it, and there are other maps in the game that need those resources and time put into it. To me, it ranks in the highest position possible for maps that I both enjoy playing, and think are the most immersive in terms of EFT’s world and atmosphere. The official description of the map reads:
