What's an extraction shooter?

The core gameplay loop is simple – get in, loot, and get out. Depending on the game, character death may be permanent, drastically raising the stakes. But those risks make the rewards sweeter. Extracting with loot leads to better equipment, and upgraded gear boosts the future chance of survival. At the same time, upgraded kit also cranks up the pressure as players have more to lose.

Extraction shooters have been around in earnest since at least 2019, when Escape From Tarkov — by then almost three years old — caught fire atop the charts of both Twitch and Steam. Their concepts can also be found in modes like The Dark Zone of 2016’s Tom Clancy’s The Division and its 2019 sequel, as well as — naturally — DayZ. A mod of that game became PUBG: Battlegrounds.

I'm assuming this is something like the OG Division DZ loot extraction mechanic...

If so yes, I can see this being the next big multiplayer thing...

It was tense as fukk trying to get your loot out on that chopper from all the other players trying to steal it...

Tarkov is boring as shyt.


They should make a game like Army of the dead. Zombies would make it fun. Otherwise whats the point

looks like one of those articles where they try to make the subject of the article come true instead of reporting on an actual thing that is happening

Its about PUBG devs talking about their new game, thats all. They are basically saying they made battle royal mainstream and they want to bring the same boom to extraction.

This sounds similar to DMZ in COD Warzone.

the first time people are learning what an extraction shooter is (look at the tweet thread and the comments on the site) they are being told by polygon - not just the devs - that it probably is the next big thing. fine line between marketing and reporting. not a big deal since it's just entertainment, but it comes off as funny to me.

The only reason he made this thread and posted that old article is cuz Bungie’s Sony game is rumored to be in the same vein

Gizmo doesn’t play multiplayer games you might as well be asking your grandma who’s the hottest rapper in the game right now
