I Accidentally Made Road to Vostok Better Than Tarkov...

This guide walks you through turning *Road to Vostok* into a hardcore, single-player extraction shooter experience reminiscent of *Escape from Tarkov*. By using the Metro Modloader and a specific suite of mods, we’re amping up the lethality, the loot, and the progression. --- 🛠️ Prerequisites Before we start, make sure you have *7-Zip* installed to handle the archives. 1. *Backup Your Saves:* Navigate to: `C:\Users\YourUsername\AppData\Roaming\Road to Vostok Demo\` Copy your saves and settings to a safe folder just in case! --- 📂 Installation Steps 1. The Core Tools *Metro Modloader UI:* This is your mod loader/mod organizer. Open the archive and move *`modloader.gd`* into: `%AppData%\Roaming\Road to Vostok Demo\` Locate your game in Steam (`Steamapps\common\Road to Vostok`). Drop *`override.cfg`* into the main game folder. *Create the Mods Folder:* Inside your main Steam game folder, create a new folder named **`Mods`**. *MCM (Mod Configuration Menu):* Download this and move the file directly into your new `Mods` folder. **Do not extract it**—keep it as a `.zip` or `.vmz`. 2. Installing the "Tarkov" Mod Pack Simply download these and drop them (unextracted) into your *`Mods`* folder: 1. *Faction Warfare:* Adds soldiers and guards. This creates that "warzone" feel and allows you to crank up enemy density. 2. *Medical Durability:* Adjusts meds to have multiple uses. Essential for when the Faction Warfare bots actually land their shots. 3. *XP Skill System:* Adds RPG-style leveling and skill progression to your survivor. 4. *Loot Modifier:* Increases loot spawns and variety to make every house worth clearing. --- 🔗 Download Links *Metro Mod Loader:* [Download Here](https://modworkshop.net/mod/55623) *MCM Menu:* [Download Here](https://modworkshop.net/mod/53713) *Warfare Mode:* [Download Here](https://modworkshop.net/mod/56026) *Medical Durability:* [Download Here](https://modworkshop.net/mod/56037) *XP & Skill System:* [Download Here](https://modworkshop.net/mod/55940) *Loot Modifier:* [Download Here](https://modworkshop.net/mod/56036) --- ⚠️ Important Note Keep your mods in their *original archive format* (.zip or .vmz) inside the Mods folder.
