Nowadays, Tarkov is separated by unseen borders, controlled by different groups. Having accepted the new reality, savage Tarkov locals – “Scavs” flocked into well-armed gangs and started the redivision of the city. Incessant warfare in Tarkov has sparked massive panic the local population has fled the city, but those who stayed are looking to improve their fortunes at the expense of others. With each passing day the situation in the Norvinsk region grows more and more complicated.
