Hello and thank you for taking time to do a second interview with us. My name is Daley and I am the Media Director at NationFusion.

Question 1: I wanted to start by saying congrats on a great year. Tell us from a design standpoint, what was the biggest goal you achieved during 2017 as a studio.

Question 2: Hideouts are and were a big milestone for the community, can you tell us a bit about the delay, and the progress on this element.

Question 3: As BSGs updates Tarkov more and more story elements seem to be coming into view. When or how do you guys plan adding major plot points and story missions.

Question 4: The open world aspect of the game is one that often comes up in conversation among players and press alike. Is Tarkov still planned on having an open environment or sandbox style game mode?

Question 7: From a technical standpoint over the last year, what has been a challenge for the studio to work on. (Some problem or hurdle the team has or is working on solving.)

Question 8: Level design for Tarkov is something everyone talks about. From the tight spaces in the village of Shoreline, to the open areas in woods. Can you tell us some of the things that go into making a level both realistic, yet “game” friendly, such as the placement of cover or obstacles like the new additions to customs and woods. *Follow up: Are any other maps slated to be updated with new areas?*

Question 9: With the release of Interchange on its way, as well as a new trader what are some key highlights or changed these will add to the current game.
