Escape from Tarkov - Kalashnikov partnership for better weapon sounds

 Escape from Tarkov is set to be an online shooter like The Division. But where Ubisoft's shooting fun follows the usual shooter gameplay guidelines, Escape from Tarkov should be much more realistic. This includes permadeath, wound care using bandages, but also realistic weapon sounds.

Since Escape from Tarkov comes from the Russian studio Battlestate Games, the developers quickly asked the weapons manufacturer Kalashnikov and organized a partnership. That is why they were allowed to hit the group’s test site and shoot around with all sorts of creaking sounds and record the gunshot noises.

In addition to assault rifles, these also include various submachine guns, shotguns, handguns and machine guns. We have embedded a video of the Russian shooting fun here.
