Notes from the stream:

• Still working on streets, they aren't ready yet to release it. Tons of optimization still to do on the map
• They want 40+ PMCs on streets, not including AI / bosses or "special NPCs"
• 2+ special bosses are planned for Streets.
• They want to having "roaming" bosses from other locations to visit Streets during special occasions.
• The APC will function as a "taxi", where it'll drive you to locations & support you with automated gunfire
• Co-op offline was brought up as a viewer question, Nikita says it's "a matter of time" with it coming closer to release. It was described as online PVE. Planned^tm
• Nikita is talking about the process of creating maps and making them look and feel like a realistic location, and the process with balancing the maps and making them playable in terms of gameplay.
• Sound design was brought up as a major part of what makes Tarkov, Tarkov. Nikita goes into a bit of how they've recorded sounds and the difficulty of trying to replicate that realistic sound without getting in trouble legally. They're finding abandoned locations to fire weapons in.
• Destructible locations have been brought up, there are specific, key locations that are destructible. Doors made out of certain materials (aka wood) will be breachable.
• Karma system was asked about. It's "really soon", they'll start with scav karma. There will be perks, gear rewards, bosses helping you out. Scav on scav violence, scav on boss violence, will negatively impact this. PMC karma will be implemented later.
• When wipe?! – Nikita laughs
