Welcome to part 2 of the History of Escape from Tarkov, The Early Days! We start where we left off in the last episode, at the beginning of 2017. We hear from some of the earliest players of the game, looking at some never before seen footage to get an idea for what the game and community was like at the time between 0.1 and 0.5.
