Escape From Tarkov, the explosively popular FPS game applauded for its realism, is adding two World War 2-era weapons to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the Soviet Union's defeat of Nazi Germany. The two weapons are the Colt M1911 pistol and the PPSH-41 submachine gun.
Both weapons are famous for their use during World War 2 and should prove to be worthwhile additions to the game. Escape From Tarkov emphasizes on realism in regards to its movement, equipment management, and weapons, with animations for nearly every aspect of their use being featured in-game. Both weapons appeared to be well detailed, though the PPSH, in particular, is a standout.
Escape From Tarkov quickly found popularity thanks to attention garnered on Twitch. The game is still in its early access phase, and has been for some time, though there's still not a full release date for the game, which is currently undergoing regular changes and updates.
Escape From Tarkov has stirred controversy in the past, specifically in regards to a Tarkov developer's comments on women. Still, the game has retained a moderate amount of popularity, emerging as one of 2020's breakout hits. However, the game still has a long way to go before its ready for a full launch.
