Frank Castle, also known as The Punisher, had always been a lone vigilante. But when a distress call came from former soldiers from his old unit, he couldn't ignore it. The world of Tarkov is a lawless wasteland, a battleground where rival factions fight for control over the city's resources. Frank's friends, once part of the elite USEC faction, had become outcasts. Since being abandoned by their faction, they formed their own off-branch: the exUSEC Rogues. Their call for help was desperate, and Frank wasn't about to let them down. The Punisher sets his eyes to Tarkov, and plans to take down anyone who stands in his way.

The Punisher is a hardcore, scare-the-shit-out-of-you boss. He has boosted health, set to impossible difficulty, and kitted to the teeth. He's decked out in level 6 armor, armed with some BRAND NEW weapons and gear, and even though he has no helmet most of the time, he's proven before that he can take a bullet and keep comin' at ya. He can spawn on any map, in any zone, and he's not alone: he's got two exUSEC followers backing him up.

Included are config options to add his head/voice options to the player, as well as set a static spawnchance and set a minimum level the player needs to be in order for him to spawn.

Welcome home, Frank.

The Punisher boss features a dynamic spawnchance system which is influenced by various factors:

- By default, Frank has a 1% chance of spawning

- Chance increases based on your success in raids by 0.5% per raid

- Failing raids decreases his spawn chance by 0.5% per raid

- Run throughs just add a flat 0.5% chance as well.

- If you eliminate any of Frank's exUSEC buddies, the chance of encountering Frank rises by 0.5% per kill.

- If Frank manages to eliminate you, the spawn chance is reset to default (1%) since he successfully killed his target.

- If you somehow manage to take down The Punisher, the spawnchance is reduced to 1/4 of it's current percentage, giving him time to heal and come back after you.

Frank is equipped with a TON of unique assets: Custom armor, custom weapons, a new rig, backpack, custom heads AND voices. Punisher now includes two variants of Frank Castle:

Jon Bernthal from the Punisher Netflix Series

- Jon Bernthal has over 60 voice lines taken from the Netflix Punisher TV show. The sound quality has been enhanced to minimize background noise, however, most of the voice lines are still pretty low quality lol. A lot of them are reused to add some variety to his reactions, so expect to hear the same lines repeated.

AND NOW FEATURING TOM JANE!

- Tom Jane has a fully fleshed out voicepack. Some of them are corny, but most fit the aesthetic of Tarkov. This asset was completely made from scratch, so this was quite the undertaking lol. Multiverse of Punishers: Tarkov Edition

The newest update also includes FOUR custom guns, and a new knife all made by the WTT team! Frank now has the KAC PDW .300 Blackout Rifle, a chopped FAL SA-58 Obrez, a Minebea PM-9 chinese variant of the Micro Uzi, and a Serbu Super Shorty shotgun!

The Serbu Super Shorty is a slick little shotty. It's accuracy leave something to be desired for, but being able to slot it in your holster almost makes up for it.

The KAC PDW was made by Tron, and lovingly textured by MoxoPixel, bringing a much needed variety to the .300 rifles in the game.

The FAL Obrez has a new drum mag, and a few unique attachments to give it that chopped up look:

and the PM-9 brings another micro-smg variety to Tarkov, offering a few variations for magazines, as well as two barrel options.

The new melee weapon is a Black Military Kukri, a sleek tactical melee weapon for punisher

To install punisher:

- Drag and drop the users and BepInEx folders into your main SPT install location.

Config:

- Punisher comes with the following settings inside WTT-RogueJustice/config/config.jsonc:

"playerSettings": {

"addHeadToPlayer": false,

"addVoiceToPlayer": false

},

"punisherSettings": {

"minimumPlayerLevelBeforeSpawn": 15, // Set to null to disable, or set to a static number to prevent punisher spawning until reaching that level.

"overridePunisherSpawnChance": null// Set to null to disable, or set to a static number to override the default spawn chance.

}

TO USE PUNISHER WITH SWAG:

- Enable Punisher in SWAG/config/bossconfig.json like this:

"punisher": {

"enabled": true,

IF YOU WANT TO USE SWAG + DYNAMIC SPAWN SYSTEM (ENABLED BY DEFAULT):

- Set useProgressChance to true in SWAG/config/bossconfig.json like this:

"punisher": {

"enabled": true,

"useProgressSpawnChance": true,

IF YOU WANT TO USE SWAG AND SET BOSS CHANCE/MAPS THROUGH SWAG:

- Set useProgressChance to false in SWAG/config/bossconfig.json, and set your chance per map like this:

"punisher": {

"enabled": true,

"useProgressSpawnChance": false,

"customs": 15,

"factory": 10,

"factory_night": 25,

"groundzero": 5,

"interchange": 30,

"laboratory": 5,

"lighthouse": 10,

"reserve": 20,

"shoreline": 15,

"streets": 20,

"woods": 15

},

This mod wouldn't have been possible without the staff and modders of the SPT website and discord community, providing me with a plethora of mods and friendly people that allowed me to figure out how all this shit works.

Special recognition goes to:

- SSH for The PunisherHead and his SDK, as well as initially giving me source for USEC commander in order to make punisher a reality

- Choccy for the UZI animations, and helping us troubleshoot along the way figuring out custom weapons.

- JustNU for the StalkerVoices, and the means to make voicelines

- Props for his awesome onraidsave method from POOP I adapted into the dynamic spawnchance system

- Lots and lots of other mod authors along the way

and lastly a big shoutout to the Altered Escape team: their Punisher boss was one of the most enjoyable experiences in the early days of JET. I found that I missed his terrible scream, and I thought it was about damn time for him to join the SPT realm and terrify the shit out of a new group of players.

What is Welcome To Tarkov?

Welcome To Tarkov (WTT) is a mod for SPT AKI that has been in development for over a year. What started as a small passion project has grown in size to incorporate 10+ core members as well as contributions from other well-known mod authors and friends of WTT alike.

How does Welcome To Tarkov change the game?

As a mod, WTT overhauls SPT AKI, touching on almost every vanilla game system, as well as adding completely new systems to the game and its core mechanics. Inspired by open-world hardcore survival projects like STALKER: Anomaly and STALKER: GAMMA, WTT takes SPT’s artificial multiplayer MMO difficulty adders and replaces them with a challenging world economy, loot scarcity rebalancing, a lore friendly quest overhaul, and a map-traveling system built from rewritten portions of the Traveler mod allowing seamless travel between maps. Aside from its changes to the game’s core properties, WTT also adds to the world’s variety of traders, NPC’s, characters, items, and quests:

• Over 500 custom bundles adding new weapons, attachments, wearables, containers, food, medical, and barter items.
• New bosses with their own custom gear that will be properly incorporated into WTT’s quest lines.
• New, meaningful traders with their own lore-friendly quests and narrative elements to help the player progress through the story-line of WTT.
• New playable characters and outfits that will add to the player’s customization abilities.
• New quest types incorporating brand new map extraction points, putting the player’s knowledge and familiarization of SPT’s maps to the test.

Welcome To Tarkov stands as one of the largest mods created for SPT AKI thus far.

When does Welcome To Tarkov release?

Thursday.

Which Thursday?

TBD
