Jeeze, it feels like it's gone at a snail's pace. I bought in at the very start, in... late 2016 apparently? Good lord!
It's been a lot of fun playing it with SPT ("Single Player Tarkov"), which can then be supplemented by FIKA to play co-op. You technically have to own the game to do this (to help appease the devs since it's unsanctioned), but the modding community is extremely active and helpful. They've even dramatically improved the AI, and you can tweak the game to whatever lengths you wish, easier or harder. Far better than the built in paid PVE mode they offer on the official game. I have dramatically more time playing SPT than actual EFT.
Hmm, maybe I have been doing it wrong, but the bots still plink me at 100M on easy in SPT.
There's definitely some bullshit that happens. There's some really awkward stuff, like bosses and boss guards being godlike, seeing through bushes, and having nearly perfect aim (and this is baked into EFT by default..). At the moment, can't do a whole lot about it unfortunately except play carefully. There's also weird stuff where AI will sense you looking at them, and if you look too long, they'll "see" you regardless of whether or not you were actually in their vision. Mods helped a lot with all of this, but the main AI mod (SAIN) is currently out of commission due to both how complex it is, and the newer SPT update.
