Looked for a Tarkov alternative with pve option (because I don’t need any more sodium in my diet) and found gray zone warfare. It’s a pre alpha and is in a pretty playable state, plus it’s an entire open world which is fantastic.
The only thing Tarkov coddles is its developer Nikita. I know of numerous people who’ve tried it and said it’s just TOO complex. I’ve played Gray Zone, and it’s nowhere near as difficult and fully of bullshit as EFT.
Soon, in October, we’ll have a new demo for Road to Vostok, a fully pve extraction game made by a single dev that, quite honestly, looks amazing. You should check it out. I think the EA version will come out in 2026.

I played that but it was too sim for me, seems like fun if you want an unforgiving game.
As opposed to EFT? lmao
What? Tarkov is well known for how it coddles the player base and hand holds newbies.

My man…. as someone with a few hundred hours in Tarkov…. that was heavy sarcasm. lol
I tend to describe EFT’s learning curve as “hostile”.
Fucking hell, I missed it completely lol
Honestly the best pve alternative to tarkov is just pve tarkov it self.
It’s just a dedicated coop experience, and even has mods.

And made with Godot, an open source game engine!
