Rating Tarkov Animations (Assault Rifles)
With the potential for a wipe looming on the horizon, this being reinforced by the man himself on social media, and Tarkov having some slower moments in raid, I figured it would be fun to take a step back from all the shooting and looting, and go over something that we all know to be true: the animations in Tarkov. I’ve made some shorts about them in the past just showing them off, but now I wanted to go over each weapon’s animations and kind of give them a rating. Now, I’ll be brutally honest, there are TOO many guns in the game to go over each and every single one. On top of that, many weapons share the exact same animations. The 5.45 AKs are a perfect example of this; it even translates to some of the other AK options in different calibers. So, the way I figured I'd do this without going insane and having this video an hour long, is to basically use ONE weapon for an entire caliber if the animations across that weapon platform at the same. So, one AK will cover every other AK with the same animations; this will be applicable to other calibers with the same weapon quirks. The animations that I will be taking into consideration are: the inspect, chamber out, chamber in, empty reload, and mag removal. You might ask what about a normal reload, and to that my answer is technically you see the reload through these animations. But it’s just separated into two different parts. It should give us all the necessary movement and handling with the gun for me to give an arbitrary number rating that doesn’t really matter, but should still be fun regardless. Also, I will be most likely doing this by weapon type. We’ll start with assault rifles and work our way around the other types; to make sure we don’t get too bogged down into the trenches of the weapon animations. So, with all of that out of the way, make sure to like and subscribe if you enjoy the video, and let’s begin with the first weapon category: the assault rifles.
