The Dumbest Mechanic in Tarkov
(Intro)
Tarkov is home to a wide host of mechanics, gimmicks and oddities you wouldn’t know about on your first playthrough unless you were told about them beforehand. Some that make sense within the specific context of this world and game, and some others that are... well honestly, I can’t make heads or tails of them still. And probably the weirdest and out there mechanic that is in the game, revolves around a specific boss and his ability to jam most weapons in the game by just existing. Kollontay, the other boss on Streets next to Kaban, when equipped with his baton, will create this area of effect around him that will jam any and all weapons the player tries to use that can be jammed. Also known as the panic attack. And to be brutally honest, I don’t understand this mechanic; it feels so forced and out of place within the world of Tarkov. So today, we’re going to go over this one mechanic and how across the vast array of things you interact with in EFT, Kollontay and his panic attack mechanic might be the dumbest one to be added into the game. Why it’s in the game, what it adds and really doesn’t add, and how it just really doesn’t make sense in the context of the world we’re playing in. There are already enough obtuse gimmicks and friction in the game; why add something like this in the first place?
