Ability to play offline mode with friends

[Omoz 39]

I would love the ability if we could play 'offline mode' with friends in Tarkov. This would be very beneficial to players like myself who could play against real players and work on reflexes,  strategy, teach new players I introduce to the game, as well as just simply play against my friends. Most people playing would have a PC good enough to host a private offline game. There's also a lot of experimentation done by players these days to help improve the game and offline mode with friends would make it so much easier.

This also would allow players to have fun playing their own scenarios like VIP escorts for example.

The community would love this!

Yea why not? Sort of a team training mode.

Of course it would keep the offline conditions: no stash changes

Yes we would love it, the only problem is it wouldn't be offline anymore, would it? We'd still need a server to sync us and our friend

If you read up on the news you would know this is coming. Offline for teams but no progress or items will be kept.

Partly true but when I say "offline" I  mean no progress is made from the raid and you keep everything you take into the raid. Just like in the current offline mode. The only difference being having friends in the raid you can train with.

PCs can act as a server provided they are powerful enough

H'wat? The last statement I'd heard was that offline overall was planned to be removed as soon as the stash/etc comes out, and that maps will need to be tackled in the real deal? Don't get me wrong, I wasn't happy about that, map study and training on scavs is pretty important for new players imo. But that would be pretty great if they've reversed on that

Yeah technically, but also not necessarily. It wouldn't be "offline" but with a small squad size the potential to use a peer to peer networking method is a bit more feasible.

I know what you mean, but that needs a netcode on his own. You cannot use your own pc to host a raid as of now, so it's not that easy an add

Nice idea but then too many people would play off line mode. Dev's probably never bring it in. Meaby in the future if game will be very popular.

I think people would use offline mode as a training tool for coordination, call outs, formations and such.

If you don't gain xp, rewards or loot, it's pointless always playing offline, if you want to level up.

They could add a LAN option. Offline, no xp, no rewards etc. Just for training.

I searched to see if this topic already existed, and it does. Unfortunately it hasn't been implemented these past 1,5 yrs.

It would be such a great tool for clans to teach new members strategies and (weapon) skills. Training realistic PvP scenarios.

And as long as you don't get any rewards, no exp, no items, just like the current offline mode, I don't see people only playing offline.

PLEASE implement this feature! Thank you!

If you would look up things, or read this forum, it's been teased and it will be implemented eventually

Exactly. Just about every month I get new friend of mine picking up the game and I have to teach them about the game in live raids.
It would be so much easier if I could teach them all the game mechanics by just both loading into a private match on Factory and going through all the med uses, weapon handling, ammo refilling etc.

No plans, just thoughts

It is planned, they already coded it in, on a teaser screenshot

Ah first they Said there won’t be a offline mode after beta anymore. Then they changed their opinion. I don’t really care about it. Let the people gather up in solo mode. Why not. Pretty sure it will come eventually 

[dskpnk 25]

Learn the game the hard way, keep servers alive, no more offline mod plz !

[romulo_cardoso 2]

Great idea! Also, i've read somewhere that they gonna add this furter

#Locked. Reason: It will be added. A sort of training mode with no loot or progression saves. Please bear in mind Rule #4 of the forum. Use that search function before making posts. Thanks.
