Tarkov's Endangered Species | Tarkov Geographic

the tarkov ecosystem is a vibrant landscape that hosts many different organisms some are newcomers and others have been here very near to the beginning that being said tarkov is not a static ecosystem change brought by shifts in climate habitat and resource availability is constant subsequently the prosperity of tarkan's different species changes with some adapting well and others beginning to decline okay when referring to a species as endangered we mean that it was once a larger population that is sharply or consistently declined to a fraction of its former numbers some organisms are not counted as they have always had lower population numbers for example the rare 338 mjolnir specimens a more difficult group to classify are the newcomers that should be more common but fail to find their Niche within the region the org for example was not well soon into tarkov when it first arrived High horizontal recoil hindered this creature's ability to hunt making it difficult for them to survive that being said and is adapted to lower horizontal recoil and is beginning to find its Niche within the region this creative physical fitness just might provide the necessary Edge that the AUG was missing the species has a difficult road ahead and must overcome its low numbers for it to truly prosper in these lands no a true example of a species in Decline is the UMP user they are aggressive merciless and Munch through low-tier armors with ease all this means they are perfectly adapted to the early white period where they tear through the carapace of other low-tier pmcs that being said the 45 AP mutation has nearly disappeared from their ranks this ammo was necessary for these organisms to thrive in the late wipe and without it the numbers begin to fade as better armor becomes more common as a result they remain a common sight during the early period but are quickly out competed as more powerful creatures mature a prime example of an endangered species is the MCX the MCX was never a common species however the numerous changes to ammo availability and recoil hampered it even more its numbers only stooped further a change that it could hardly afford when its populations were so small to begin with [Music] they are exceptionally dangerous up close but tend to struggle at range unless heavily modded foreign this close range Niche unfortunately fails to provide a significant advantage over the M4 the M4 creatures are generalists and remain effective at ranges far greater than the MCX user can hope to match as a result the MCX is less fit and has been out competed in most aspects by its cousins some hope does remain once again recoiler shifts have swept across most organisms and the MCX user may have a chance to bounce back such An Occurrence is not unheard of and has happened very recently the AS Val in VSS specimens were once rapidly approaching Extinction long ago they were among the apex predators of tarkov they dominated the halls of labs and remained a potent threat everywhere else then the nerves came massive changes repeatedly slammed these organisms further and further Into Obscurity they could not compete due to high recoil and exorbitant costs then The Recoil was suddenly reduced back to normal levels thus their numbers began to grow again the amount of resources necessary to sustain a valuesa remains too high for their populations to return to pre-nurf numbers however it is a start at a second chance for this species then there are those that are nearing Extinction the most recent creatures to be added to this category are the VPO 101 and RFB the VPO 101 was once the most common rat in tarkov it wielded a capacity to kill Uber Chads with greater efficiency than many of its rat Brethren m61 and 62 and even M80 were more than capable of punching through the tough armors that other rat specimens would have been stumped by then the RFB creatures were introduced their low resource cost and greater versatility and consistency provided a far greater Fitness than the VPO 101 creatures the VPO 101 was quickly out competed and has been headed for extinction ever since the final nail on the coffin came when high chairman mutations became scarce as such the creature was forced to use BCP FMJ around that paled in comparison often it is deflected by armas and helmets depriving the rat of its prey [Music] ironically the RFB that had just destroyed the vp0101 populations soon joined its predecessor in nearing Extinction the new scarcity of high pen ammo particularly the M80 ammo mutation utterly decimated the RFB populations they went from the most common creature of the midwipe to an endangered species almost overnight [Music] the ak-103 is a more interesting case as it is quite an effective Hunter and requires low amounts of resources for sustenance has access to solid ammo early on and has consistent recoil and damage once upon a time it was the apex of the 762 AK users and posed a grave threat to Every Creature it came across thank you thank you so what has caused the decline of a creature that seemingly lacks defects well this specimen owes its near Extinction status to a single item the 308 muzzle adapter is an adaptation employed by the akm but is inaccessible to the ak-103 specimens as a result they have simply been outperformed by their cousins and since then their populations have inched ever closer to zero it can be said that all SMG specimens employing nine millimeter ammo are now endangered some are simply too stupid to continue living but most are hampered by ammo scarcity no example is more apparent than the fate of the MPX users these creatures once lay among the greatest Hunters Within These borders their capabilities to spray down enemies with Reckless abandon were unmatched low recoil and lots of ammo gave them a strong Edge foreign recoil makes these long sprays ineffective immediately cutting any medium to long range capabilities they may have had they scarcely have ammo that can consistently penetrate even mid-tier armors until the recoil is reduced and the PVP round becomes more widely available The Glory Days of the MPX will only be relived in the memories of those who witnessed them these are just a few examples of tarkov's endangered species at this point in time in the future they may recover or they may continue to struggle to Simply exist tarkov is a land where change is constant and other organisms May inhabit the endangered list as time goes on as with many things only time will tell the fate of these creatures and all others that call this land home [Music] foreign foreign [Music]
