i,hereby, sentence the devs to get shot with a 9mm pistol at distance of 50 metres and then explain to me how it would deal 0 damage to them.
somehow they thought adding sweetspot mechanic to their top-down extraction shooter would make it a better experience.
well it ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ didn't
i'd get if it dealt LESS damage over long distances, it's a bullet, it loses momentum, but i just cannot wrap my mind around how 9mm bullet would deal no damage when it crosses mark lenght of a 1/4-2/4 of my monitor.
Forcing close-combat with sweetspot mechanic to fix your ♥♥♥♥♥♥ AI situatuion in-fact doesnt make a game pleasant.
so there's the chart of effective range of weapons
Pistols - 1/3 of the screen
smgs - 1/3 of the screen
shotguns - 1/3 of the screen
dmrs -1/3 of the screen
rifles - 1/3 of the screen
sniper rifles - whole ass screen + offsscreen if you have scope. but guess what , ♥♥♥♥, it deals less damage if the enemy is point blank! (includes rifles if in-game crosshair isn't lying ) how!?!?!?!?! just HOW?!?!?!?
more about AI, if they were, the problem they were trying to "fix" there is that they're non-reactive ♥♥♥♥♥,playing ZERO SIEVERT is like going down to a shooting range, you stand faaar back there, shoot at static targets and thats it.
AI goons will not react to any gunshots as long as you're +- screen away from them, doesn't ,matter what you do, you can kill their entire group in front of them,as long as you're using that sweet sniper rifle they're gonna stay afk forever.
which i find incredibly funny is that you dont even have to use sniper rifle, you can use any weapon at a long range and they will not react at all. Even if you hit them, since bullet will deal 0 damage at that distance :D
and lets not forget countless bugs on alleged full release, fps will randomly lock to 30 after completing a raid on pressing ALT+TAB, items will float off-grid in your inventory taking god knows how much additional space etc.
lets not forget about hefty price tag they put on their game, demo option from the store page, must be ashamed of their creation and ofcourse their wonderful EULA that basically only allows buyers to
install the game,
use the game in a limited fashion, or
once you agreed to the EULA, to terminate the agreement by effectively stopping to play - without offering consideration.
Apart from the third item, these are all things I was allowed to do before.

Everything else creates 30+ considerations towards Modern Wolf Limited. These considerations
include that modders give up all rights (except non-exclusivity) on their creative or otherwise work and intellectual property - without offering further (more than non-exclusivity) consideration, and
potentially allows Modern Wolf to unilaterally disable a buyer's access to the game in case Modern Wolf Limited decides the EULA has been violated by the buyer - without offering consideration.

Tarkov but it doesnt cost $150 and you arent spawnkilled by a gunky 30yo that flies around the map with a 168.22kd

This is a great game for fans of the extraction mechanics but who dislike other players. I wish the mechanics were more fleshed out, and it would be amazing if there was anything in game to explain what the plethora of stats mean. But even if there were other games of this type out there, this would still be a very solid offering.
