Tarkov Unlocked Season 1 Ruleset

///TARKOV UNLOCKED RULES V3.0///

The core idea of this challenge is to provide an incredibly difficult start that becomes progressively more forgiving as the game progresses and the quest difficulty increases.
The player is rewarded for reaching certain milestones, unlike hardcore, in which the difficulty is static.
The rules are meant to slow down the player, not stop them. If you feel these are too strict, adapt them! It's a game!
The *recommended* goal of the challenge is to reach maximum reputation with each trader.

!Ground Rules:
- Start a fresh standard account. (I would recommend using an EOD account or similar if starting this challenge late wipe!)
- Delete ALL starting items **except** for your pouch container. You get nothing! Not even a knife!
- VOIP or voicelines must be used for all in-game verbal interactions, even with teammates. Good luck with that!
- You may only play with the right-hand timeslot. The exception to this is on Factory, where you can choose either timeslot.
- Game features are only 'unlocked' after reaching certain milestones, they are:

!Selling to Traders:
 - Unlocked after the first raid

!Bartering with Traders
- Unlocked after the first raid

!Buying from Traders:
- Each trader is unlocked individually at Loyalty Level (LL)2.
:: Exceptions ::
- Fence is unlocked after the first raid.
- Special items (markers, cameras, etc.) may be purchased at any time from any trader regardless of trader LL.
- Containers may be purchased at any time from any trader regardless of trader LL.
- Money may be exchanged at any time from any trader regardless of trader LL.

  - Each level of Rep unlocks another set of maps.
  - 'Lower rep' maps can still be used after achieving higher rep.
