So since we got the info that we will get perma death, how would YOU implement that?
My suggestion:
As far as we know the Terminal map is lorewise the place where you "escape from Tarkov" and Nikita said that not everyone should and will be able to escape. So my suggestion is to perma death any PMC that dies on the Terminal map, either completely or just skills and mastery. You could let them keep their stash and justify it by saying "the new PMC you're playing found the hideout of your last one" or something. Also limit the amount of PMC's that can escape between 1-3 so it's actually a challenge and you can't just cheese it with a five man squad. Add normal extract's so PMC's can flee if they think it's not worth it.
But it's just my idea and I might not see the flaws in it.
What's yours?
