arena breakout infinite gives you more respect than this russian piece of trash btw
>>499521465Low effort. D-, Apply yourself
>>499521990truth hurts doesnt it?
>>499521465it seems fun but i don't feel like learning a mobile tarkov clone with matching p2w features
>>499521465ABI has better PvP. EFT has better PvE.
>>499522669lol
How bad is the cheating situation this wipe? I haven't played since early 2023. I got a job that is completely "work" from home and thought I might get into tarkov again.
>>499521465>3 mapskys
>>499522795There's less blatant cheating as far as i can tell but they still exist.
Val malfunctions in Arena beyond retarded. You can get 3-5 in one life and within like 90-120 ammo
>>499527030Where do I get bot lobbies like this?
>>499522795Every 8 or so raids you will encounter one sus 250 hour 12kd savant, or about 15-20 for a blatant cheater. At least on US Central anyway.
>>499522669This is bait but ill bite. ABI PvP is dogshit, and you don't even have to consider gunplay. The loot is terrible on every mode (So killing people is the only way to get anything worth a damn) and the maps are small enough for you to hold sightlines that cover 90% of the map. Queue sniper campfest.
>>499527030Arena PVE looks neat.
>>499529369Still more fun than>Head, eyes
My game is freezing every time i shoot.
>>499534101Clean both game and video drivers caches
>>499534101aged specs + HDD? My brother used to have the same issues in The Cycle Frontier as well as Tarkov. First time he'd shoot and get hit in every lobby would freeze his game for upwards of seven seconds. This was on a 1060 3gb + i5 2500k
Tried PvE recently and it's so much more comfy. For all its shortcomings, it beats donating gear to chinamen every other raid.
>>499546254PVE will get better.PVP will only continue to get more and more hackers, indians, chinese and whatever else.
>>499547016>PVE will get better.PFFFFFFFFFFFFT HAHAHAHHHAHAHA
>m-m-muh cheatersSame cope every time from PVE trannies, I bet 90% of people they died to and call "cheaters" are just normal players.
>>499547850okay bro let me know how the +50 kd players are legitimate superhumans playing turdkovhttps://forum.escapefromtarkov.com/topic/175830-cheating-discussion-mega-thread/page/18/#comments
>>499548368And how many times have you died to said +50kd players?
>>499546254the AI's boring but they could easily make it more interesting with tasking PMCs that have actual spawns and won't ally with scavs constantly
>>499548458I've posted in that thread with one of those examples. There is zero excuse for someone with stats like those to even make it into another session. In any case, what exactly is your argument? That there is a certain level of cheating that'd be permissible and acceptable?
>>499548458I'd say a solid 50% of the time.It depends what gear you run. They can see the value of your gear and generally don't bother unless you're at a certain value. People who talk about never getting killed by hackers are usually the guys that got in with a stock SKS, a PACA and a 6 slot rig and no hacker is gonna risk a report to kill a guy that has nothing.
>Kill 57 scavs with shotgun headshots on shoreline whilst wearing a cap backwards, in freelook whilst reloading and after killing a PMC with a knife earlier in the raid.What's the best way to get the shotgun headshot part? I feel it's something that's gonna happen eventually just using shotguns, but how do I make this as painless as possible?
Just redownloaded the gamer just to play PVE, is it any good?
The Cheater excuse is used too much, when in reality most of the people that swapped to PvE simply don't have the time to spend on normal wipes(specially a short one like this) to have fun, or they suck ass at pvp, which that in itself is fine, think blaming everything under cheaters is a very convenient escape goatNikita won't change the base game because he wants this piece of shit to be a Second life experience embedded with shit from stalker.
>>499551426arguably more fun than PVP depending on what you're going for, but missing the thrill factor of dropping player squads or ratting some hypergeared faggot stomping around without any regard for his safetyi like it but it only makes me wish eft was even more like stalker in many regards
>>499551426If t helps, i have like.. 2 hours total in game experience of my entirety of playing. I'm just happy to finally not have to deal with pvp shit
>>499551426scavs swarm you in a comedic fashion if you make a shot and bosses spawn 100% of the time and there is a particular boss on customs/woods/shoreline that will zero in on you to hunt you down without sound
>>499551426Yeah, it's pretty fun.
>>499548848>In any case, what exactly is your argument?That PVE shitters insist that everyone who kills them is cheating. They never make a mistake, they never die because the enemy was better, or had better positioning, or heard them coming, or even simply because the enemy got lucky, no, it's always because of cheats.
>>499548475Pretty much. If they made AI PMC's do more than just <rush high traffic spot>, they could turn down the aimbot and the whole experience would feel way more organic instead forcing players into needing to rely on cheese tactics. >>499551426i've been enjoying it. gunfights are more boring and there's no timmies to clown on, but all in all it's a way more relaxing and enjoyable experience.
i stop playing when quests start making me go to shoreline. I can't stand that map. I usually completely ignore Peacekeeper
>>499554349Shoreline is pretty easy. You just gotta take it slow. Lighthouse is the real point where you should stop tasking.
>>499551426No, it's not good. I'd play SPT desu with sain. Vanilia PvE is just ass. I'm sick of the fucking A.I lasering me through bushes or scavs swarming me. You have to bring a lot of bullets to deal with scav swarms and they don't even interact with the A.I PMCs
>>499554560its boring. I don't like it because it's a walking sim. The spawns are atrocious to. I only went night time because the sweats dont touch night time unless theres a cultist event
>>499527030desu, i dont think its a bad thing. It's a busted gun and I think that keeps it balanced and stops pub stompers from going crazy.
Can you get the Labs items from the cultist circle? I keep getting 2x SMT from the 6 hour one, doesn't seem like it's giving me any other hideout items.
>>499556212Define lab items? like the GPSA and other stuff? probably not.
>>499557450This is actually sad.
can you get to lightkeeper if you dont do tedious quests?
>>499558104To lightkeeper? no.To the island? yes.you just have to kill all the guards and dodge all the claymores.
>>499558184i've never gotten to him and never intend to. Even getting past the sniper seems tedious as you need to do a bunch of glitchy cheese to get around the mines and thats if someone doesn't hear you exploding the mines and runs to you to pop you
>>499558282This is my first time trying to get him, I'm currently 9 out of 15 kills for assessment pt.1 then it's smooth sailing really.It's a nice goal to have or else you'll burn out and quit the wipe eventually
>>499558437and it wipes for you to do it all again in a mere couple of months :)
Bosses having inflated health pools is dumb.
>>499558670it's mostly for the achievement
>>499557450I also killed someone who brought 10 rounds VSS mags with his SV-98.
the only time id pay for microtransactions would be for the USEC Ceruem jacket.
>>499559515Cereum is shit and overrated as fuck.
>>499559598BEAR spotted
>>499559835Mission, Sandstone, Legionnaire, Range Specialist and both variants of Boss Delta all shit on Cereum.
>>499560057>missionew, thats disgusting
>>499560228I admit the backside looks kinda shit but it's covered by your backpack anyway and the gloves go hard.
>be scav>running along road on customs>10 minutes left>get brrrrrapped by a PMC>3k hours, has Kappa, meta AK with death mask and ULACHstop coming to Timmies map.
Why do AI PMC frags have such a massive radius?
flechette now sucks dick, theres zero point in using this thing.Magnum fuckshot it is.
>using shotguns
>>499561886its a cheap way to fuck up a chad.Magnum fuckshot to the legs makes any chad seethe.
>>499561991but you're seething about not killing things, right?
>>499562157yah with flechette. it use to be really good, but this wipe its fucking awful which i assume comes from the new armor plates. Magnum has always been a fallback because that thing absolutely shreds and even at range its a chad dropper
>>499562279Some streamer probably got killed by it.
>>499562385it use to be Jaeger LL3 and would consistently kill anyone with 2-3 shots to the chest. Now it's ass and you'd be lucky to pen a PACA
>50 Shots fired>28 hits>640 damage done to players>1100 damage done to armorHooooooly shit these two dudes tanked, and I got RGD-5'd
>go to sleep>come back 8 hours later>cultist circle has 2 hours on itare there 10 hour circles?
Remember if someone complains about the PvE ai dogging on them by "lasering them", they're retarded and unbelievably bad at the game. The PvE AI is retard tier and usually misses half a mag of peashooter ammo before they start tickling you with it.
>Do some raids>Someone wants to add me>either I killed him or they killed meEither way it's bound to be some passive aggressive bullshit thrown my way 100%
>>499577958I dunno sometimes they just zero in on you like crazysome scav at streets cinema shot me yesterday, walking up the stairs backwards and hit me three times in a row, blacking all my limbs with three SKS rounds of whatever and giving me three heavy bleeds, forcing me to zagustin and propital or else I would've fucking died i was out in the open sure, but thats like what, over 100m in distance? you dont expect the AI to hit anything at that range, yet alone three shots in a row
>>499577958that's not true at all, smg AI especially is not to be messed with, they'll immediately begin lasering you even at long ranges
>>499578135My buddy had his door bell ring mid raid while we were in the IDEA office room checking the computers.So I protect his ass while he is gone, some guy walks in and obviously I shoot him. Didn't felt good about it and just dropped his items while my buddy was still gone.He adds me, calls me a fucking bitch and when I told him i dropped his stuff for him and I was protecting my AFK friend he calls me a fucking liar.I should stop being nice to people.
>>499581383He got mad cause he got sniped by a thermal g28
>>499554602This, SAIN is great and makes the fights fun. If you add Questing Bots too it makes it even better.
>>499581383Fucking lol what is that guy's problem, getting blasted the moment you walk into a loot room is the most normal tarkov shit there is. I haven't been added by a rando a single time in like two wipes.
>Keep getting pinged that I completed a subtask for "Decontamination Service">Don't have that quest.Uh...
>>499584386It happens, no big deal
>>499581383Killing people in a high traffic loot room is expected and normal. Should've told that guy to fucking cry about it and taken all his shit.
Does doing The Gym mean you lose all exp gain for the next 24 hours, or just from further gyming?
>>499586982from the gym only, you still level strenght and endurance in raid
>>499561552>toss nade at scav>watch it explode about a foot from him without him seeming to care at all
>>499577958>AI PMC with an SMG instantly melts me since he doesn't miss a single shot and one of his bullets will inevitably head,throat me
>best AP ammo>static AI loot bags>free headshot exp>bitcoins/stims up the assIsnt lighthouse the best map in ever created?
>>499590376no, you brainrotten scav main.
>>499590376>upper chalet has absolutely divine loot density and easy to check locations for things>lower chalet has the 2 middling safes + garage for repair kits>southern road is a nice extract
>>499590376>goons spawning and fucking up your shitno I dont think so
>>499590376>miss one rogue npc>get beamed from across the camp on his first bullet at 200 metersor>get south spawn dogshit map
Yea Fence? Really nigga?
YOUFUCKINGCUNT
>>499593343yea it has to be in the same raid, with the phone on your inventory. good luck
ayo this is kinda bussin
>>499594225costs 30m to make on pve lol
>>499593521>has to be the same raidit doesn't, though. If you don't die you can run it back until the taxi is there.
>>499594364shieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet
not a bad haul
I just repaired one of those quest silos in factory, as a scav lol
>>499596172>straight into the hoard box
>look outside dorms>see a ton of wires>gotta try to find Partizan in the dark, heavily bush area around dorms>turns out he has an AVT with R SNB>2 tapped to the torsowell
Has anyone died to a tripwire this wipe? I still haven't even seen partizan once, or seen any tripwires for him or players.
>>499597951no sure that shit takes like 10 seconds to blow up
>>499597951they're pretty easy to avoid even if you set them off unless you're like on a staircase or something
>>499597951Tripwires, no. Partisan? I see him often enough, I've killed him 4-5 times and died to him probably 6-7 times. He's either super ineffectual or a lethal terminator, with no real inbetween. Depending on his weapon, he has some insane ammo and kill potential.
>>499597951I had the pleasure to be extract camped by himhttps://streamable.com/dunkau
>>499597951I encountered patrizan twice.Once in customs dorms, he was just running around and shooting at windows and doors as if he was trying to provoke me, while 200 scavs spawned inside.The other time on woods when I wanted to do no armor scav kills, I spotted him 40m away and ended him with a no scope mosin. Weird boss.
>kill a 4man on streets>Go to loot>reload mag>bugs out>pushed by scavs and can't fire my guns anymore>have to fuck off to extract without being able to heal or do anythingpranked pranked pranked
can you still turn on horde mode and disable bosses in pve?
If I pay for cover fire during a BTR ride, do the kills get added to my kill count? Have you guys ever been killed by the BTR?
>character reloads on loading screen>mag drills levels uplol
>6/7 scav headshots with my goofyass shotgun on shorelinefuck I almost did that shit in one raid. Decent loot though.
real gamers buy the drop down room key
Why are car exits so fucking cheap?With how expensive just some fucking army crackers and bottled water are, you'd think they'd charge much much more.
it's over
>insurance comes back>they took my AS VAL 30-rounders>but not the gun or the sightt-thanks

>pack 3 kite into my ass>put on a NVG>go to factory>its day time
okay wait i cant do scout in a night raid? It has to be day? wtf
when the fuck will they put out the Fall/weapon content patchHalf the reason I haven't played in a few weeks is because I want to use an AXMC with a bipod already
nvm you can its just greyed out
>>499610479nah you can it just doesn't track for some reason
>buy armor for 300k>sell the sides for 150k each lol
best noob weapon?
>>499611236>pve
hows my first labs run lookin bros
>>499612730>7 ledx's
>>499612730so thats why the pve economy is so shit
>>499612921>PVE
>enforcer can either get high armor at the cost of running nothing but flechette shotguns>or be a very slightly more armored assault with dogshit ammoEnforcer needs some kinda balancing, it's easily the worst class. At least marksman has good ammo going for it.
bros can we stop talking about pve...
so how about that PvE huh
>>499613636If you can aim for headeyes its not bad at all. lvl6front+4lvl face shield
>>499614125Yea but you might as well run assault at that point. Most of them are running 56a1 or m80 anyway so the face shields do jack shit.
>>499614125flechette is also good against face shields whats the point
i wish we had facemasks that aren'tA: a 12 year old edgelord that listens to numb encore on repeatB: a fucking storm trooperC: a fucking diaper
>>499614313Airsoft masks don't belong in the gameEspecially ones that have a chance to ricochet anything but birdshot from a mile away. I.e., remove it from the fucking game because MAI AP getting a ricochet on HDPE 2 plastic is fucking infuriating
>A >FUCKING>DIAPER
>>499614208>>499614251I do LH dailies for free video cards every day that main reason why. Sometimes you forced to play enforcer. Face shield saved me many times believe it or not
14 hourswhats it gonna be
>>499618141disappointing
>>499618196i thought that a 12+ hour timer means its gonna be good shit
>play PVE>solo, no performance issues>Co-op constant freezing and stuttering making it absolutely unplayable.Why?
>>499618264You can still get trash out of a 14 hour one.
damn, if you want to shoot a gun without even touching the zeroing up to 300 meters any 7.62x54R gun is the way to go
>>4996011461. No2. Yes
>>499612258OP-SKS
I want them so fucking bad bros...
>>499622383they all look like m16s to me...
>>499563568Tier 5 is the new tier 4 this wipe, and with the new armor system everyone is tanky as fuck so the only way to kill people is trying to shoot them in the face through their airsoft HDPE 2 plastic face mask and hope you dont lose to an RNG bounce
woah lighthouse goons kinda easy if they spawn at the blue house
>>499635143
>wanna use the AXMC again>can't be arsed to complete Hunting TripI wish Ref sold it instead of the Mjolnir...
>>499635885338 is dogshit anyway
>>499636205And you have no idea how much it pisses me off.
>I'll have to play labs today for assesmentI'm oozing with excitement!!!!!!!!!!!
>>499636205which is why it makes even less sense why they locked it behind hunting trip
>>499638012BSG does not play their game. They just make changes based on whatever they like and feedback from their supr sekrit streamer discord so the australian retard can have a direct line to niggkita
>Capacity Checkoh boy, another "stand out in open in the middle of the map with your dick out for a couple minutes" quest, my favorite
>>499554602>SPTTrying this out past week.Really fun when you balance it right.SAIN on the +1 difficulty setting with Donuts on "crazyraid" is the game I always wanted. Turn off flea blacklist, start at lvl15, and remove all Woods quests.AI slaps without being broken. Lots of fun firefights. Often third partied. AI isn't human smart but they're the right amount of challenging for peak fun.Unfuvks everything bsg has done to the game in the past years.No cheaters either.
>removes all woods questvery gay.
https://streamable.com/hrdx30I can respect the swing, his ego was through the roof
>>499646998The underbarrel GLs being 400K+ only from barter and a single per restock is stupid. They dont know how to balance or code them so they gave it the KS-23 treatment
>>499647334theyre fairly common on the cultist circle i have like 15 of them, the only good one is the GP-25 anyway.
>>499647334Also, Ref has them too.

>>499651512Now that I think about it, I can see why it wouldn't be interesting if you only play vs AI.

>>499675575Listen, listen. If I were president, that incident in Tarkov simply would not have happened. Obanma and Biden are trafficing illegal weapons into there along with misile strikes, it's a disaster. I'd have that war stopped in a day
>>499590376yeah, only for scavs. If you play PMC, it's not worth going because you're going to get niggered by Pscavs and Rogues
>>499675575There's a pretty high chance he wins and basically the entire internet is gonna be unusable for a few days as Americans fight over it.
>>499676693Not going to happen. What happened in 2016 was a fluke and the left are terrified of Trump winning again like that so they are doubling down on all of their bullshittery and blackmailing celebrities to go against the big bad orange man. Kamala will win, Trump will call election fraud, the world will go on and we will descend further into the abyss.

so did nikkita ultimately get away with the whole unheard edition?
>>499678092Yes, even the most vocal boycotters are now running with 6 slot pockets, it's honestly disgusting how spineless ecelebs are.
>>499677063It's not even 4pm EST. It's eurocuck hours right now.
>>499678338whenever I kill someone and i see they have a scav vest for pockets, I strip their guns and make sure they get nothing back from insurance. Fuck those pricks.
>>499678703You shoud look at dogtags instead, there are still honest Chads who complete the questline to get larger pockets, blue dogtags are scumbags.
>>499678989nah, fuck them both.
I bet most of the players who seethe about unheard are EoD owners, as if they weren't the original paypigs.
>>499679186EoD are pigs, Unheard are pathetic.
What's Nikkitas obession with making this game a second life? Why are these quests so unnatural and grindy. The string of quests for Lightkeeper are laughable, like does he really expect anyone with a moderate amount of responsibility to even bother with half of these burn out inducing quests?
>>499678092Kinda.Tarkov has definitely declined in popularity. But, the people who are still playing it are seemingly more invested than ever.
>>499681164As long as there is no actual alternative to Tarkov, eft will never die and BSG will always get away with everything.
>>499678989poopsock questline anywayst. 4k hours

>>499702812it is, and i will never forgive metanigger streamers for making BSG kneejerk nerf ps12b while also raping the availability of it and keeping ps12 and ps12a useless
>>499709481>>499702812It's not even that good of a gun because the recoil makes it pretty difficult to use past like 50m but how dare anyone have any other options besides high rpm ARs in every situation. Man I just hate the current armor system really. Yes, I'm fine that I got armpitted numerous times by scav slugs or w/e, it was healthy for the game to see more build variety. Random deaths to bullshit are a part of tarkov, it's 100% ok to die to random chance sometimes and I'm annoyed that people can't handle that
>>499711904It's unfortunate how often there are just worse options for caliber.
They should make scavs only spawn with shotguns thoughts?
>blast half a mag of M856A1 into a scav >fucker is still aliveis 556 just trash this wipe?
>>499717274no scavs will just randomly have more hp

>>499718464So are your PMCs just the weakest people in the whole Tarkov region?They have the lowest HP of anyone...
>go downstairs under hermatic for food storage on reserve>hear a scav behind and spin around to face him>unfortunately hit F as I'm spinning and lock myself into unlocking a gate>die
>>499732940kek, that room is jank as fuck. I hate being inside the cage and having to shoot scavs through the fence. I swear the fence just eats bullets, it's incredibly hard to pen through. That said I love that room for loot, I have no idea why it isn't more popular. The keys are cheap as fuck and there's multiple tech, med, and ration crates. You can easily just hit that and leave with a full bag. The most comfy is when someone flips the switch to the bunker door right when you're done looting.
wish I knew what this was, hope it wasn't anything too important. Not really sure why traders don't have a little number/! mark when they've got mail.
>>499735876
like whats the purpose of the SJ12 stim?isnt body temp a non issue in tarkov?
>>499737234so thermals don't have a harder time finding you
>>499737937Have a harder time*, but in reality your white sillhouette will still be brighter than everything around you so.
holy fucking moly partizan just one tapped me in the chest through a ghizel and those thick ass glass windows on customs i had no fucking chance i didnt even see him

>>499757781Bro, your SJ12?
>e-celebs get brain dead retards in their lobbies>my lobbies are full of gigasweats that dont move or retarded timmies on a pistol runIs it because I play on EU? I feel like EU servers are brutal
>>499726467That's normal and Tarkov probably isn't even using all of that memory. From my understanding, it just hordes your memory just in case it needs it.
>>499696132The drip out cosmetics are outrageously priced. $20. I'd think about spending $5 at most, but going over $10 is just a no no.There are more ways to fund this game than cheaters
>>499685893making moonshine is barely worth it, just sell the sugar imo.
>>499770487Are you just a monkey brain that sells them as soon as they're done? Provided you're not a fucking moron that buys the sugar or distilled water moonshine is totally worth it.
>>499773545>sell one moonshine for 280kor>sell two sugars for 200k and sell superwater for 80k
>>499777534>280k
My cultists are telling me to shower.
>>499780773>PvEThey're about 300k. Not worth it when it costs 200k of sugar and 80k of super water along with fuel costs.
>Even if you follow a YouTube guide there's still 2 magical claymores on the most optimized path that have a 20% chance to instant kill youWho designed this shit
>>499773545>moonshine is worth itit isn't.
>>499769140i don't believe that for a second, tarkov regularly make my entire computer freeze for upwards of ten seconds once i start getting out of raids with 30~gb (out of 32) allocated
>>499780773no one cares about pve
>>499784185Wow, it's almost as if it's an area meant to be inaccessible without meeting certain requirements.
Realistically speaking how do someone plant 2 claymores covering 360° without blowing himself up in the process
>>499785641Because claymores are detonated manually.
>>499785587If they don't want people to access it via any kind of normal means then just add a fucking door that closes behind whoever opens it or something. Placing a bunch of magical and retarded claymores is stupid.
>>499786406>remove magical claymores>add magical doors insteadAbsolutely brilliant, I'm glad you will never work as a map designer.
>>499786614>magical doorNigger are you fucking retarded?
>>499786614>keycard that allows one person to enter>locks the door behind you
>>499786705>>499786850>another generic keycard doorYawn.Claymores are way more interesting and unique, retards.
>>499785997Russian claymore knock offs have the option of using a seismic sensing detonator.
>>499786942>oh fuck i said something retarded>better go back to blatant bait postsBoring loser
>>499786952True, but we can safely assume that since the claymores are placed like that, they're most likely manually detonated.
>>499786942You're the first human being I have encountered that would defend these bullshit indestructible claymores in Tarkov
Randomised Claymore and mine spawns.
>>499787229>bullshitEvery single mine is visible and/or marked with enviromental clues, they're the least bullshit thing in this whole fucking game.
>>499787482>just do an extremely autistic routine that will still probably kill you>least bullshit thing in this whole fucking gamelollmao evendont even try and move the goal posts with map border mines they're not what we're talking about you little faggothttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6rRjnqnRbnY
>>499787681Or just don't go to the area you're not supposed to have access to, retard?
>>499787778>trying to move the goalposts againyawn.
lightkeeper shouldn't be streamer content. They need to make his unlock requirements far far less, it's retarded.
>>499788051What's retarded about it?
>>499788291you literally need to be unemployed or have tarkov be your job to get to him
>walk through a minefield>die>NOOOOOOOOO HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN TO ME?
>>499788291the quest chain is utter poopsock. Assessment is the fucking worst.
>>499788291>What if we take away some of the end game gears and then lock them behind the new merchant that only 1% population has access to
>>499788419Took me like 2 days to get assesment done, I agree it's ass but it's really the only quest that's physically painful.You have then two fetch quests that just make you walk the entirety of LH/WTP>>499788496You mean a gimp mask and 6.8 Hybrid?
>>499788051He's not hard to get at all, what are you talking about? I managed to unlock him a couple of times and I work a full time job.>>499788419Assessment is easy as fuck considering there are 10-12 PMCs on a map with 12 total spawn points. You are near guaranteed to run into a PMC if you rush the closest spawn.
>streamers think the sa-58 and .308 MDR are unviable because they have actual recoil nowI'm in awe at how streamers are incapable of using anything that isn't the current boring 0 recoil 0 skill laser beam. God forbid they do anything but hold m1 at any range.
>>499788686>
>>499788875Why can't you tell me what exactly is hard about unlocking Lightkeeper and instead just resort to calling everyone who disagrees with you a poopsocker? Are you sure you don't suffer from a skill issue? Lightkeeper is significantly easier than Kappa, so I don't understand why are you seething so hard?
>>499789173cope.
>instant pavlovian responselmao
>>499788712Popularity and time investment does not equal skill.
>I can't get 12 quests done to unlock LK everyone that can is le streamer and it needs to be changed to fit my PVE mindsetlol!
>>499789458Only one of those quests is strictly PVP, too. The rest are either fetch quests or marking shit. I can understand people saying quests FROM Lightkeeper are difficult, but unlocking him is completely reasonable.
>>499789902My servers are empty and I didn't want to hop on NA, if I were to i'd prolly get assesment done in a day
>open youtube>youtube recommends me a video advertising RMT for fucking PVEIt's laughable really.

>>499793862>let cheaters cheat for months>ban them all in one swoop>they buy more accounts to cheatthis is how they fund their game. Ever wonder how they have no subscription or major MTX? It's becuase cheaters fund the game for BSG along with the whole RMT market which Nikkita profits from.The issue is how long you can get away with cheating.
>>499794064>cheaters dont get banned>seethe>cheaters get banned>seetheYou faggots will complain about anything.
>>499794584ive seen people get away for months using a cheap shitty ESP. If you're not blatant about it, it will take ages to get banned. Thats the issue.
Gods willing I will find a SJ9 in this labs raid and survive.
why is the mutant so fucking bad for such an expensive gun
>>499796016Because it used to be stupidly good and got nerfed while the price remained unchanged.
>>499796016AR platform, thats it. It's dogshit.Rifle Dynamics slaps it all around
>>499796016Because is inferior american capitalist product made by stupid american trying to imitate kalashnikov, stupid american put rail everywhere and think rifle is better.
>>499796289But the best AK in game is american tho
>zero scav spawns for 30 minutesthis shit so ass man
>>499796078so the usual retarded bsg balancing got it>>499796176yea i've been trying out the 704 and it feels so much better. it has less recoil for cheaper. the 50 extra rof on the mutant ends up not even mattering since you can't hit shit with the mutant anyway.
thoughts on nufactory?
>>499798474Way too dark.
>>499798474its awful, always worse and is even worse now.It's a timmy meatgrinder
>>499798474TOO FUCKING DARK

>>499798690>>499798917
>>499799607I can totally see people unironically bringing NVGs for daytime factory now.
>>499798474Needs to be brightened up a tad. Otherwise it's an improvement
>enforcer with level 6 plates, a faceshield and KS-23please, remove this.
>>499800639Shoot him in the legs. Or from mid range. Armored up enforcers are annoying but nowhere near as dangerous as a sweaty scout player.
>try to get my gzhel zeroed in factory>scavs literally just shoot around the armor raid after raid
>>499800961Nigga you don't have to do that anymore.
>>499800639>KS-23Despite enforcer can be tanky sometimes it not op at all. When someone tries this kind of shit i just bring my sp6/m80/bp and slap enforcer chicks with 1 tap in faceshield while he trying to hit me with ks23

>>499802313He is right, you don't since previous wipe

>>499802973> if they bothered to updateYou asking too much from small indie company operating 300+ employees
>>499802973We need your support in order to update single lines of quest descriptions. Consider upgrading to The Unheard Edition to help us develop Escape from Tarkov.

why is the burris tac 30 so cheap this wipe? 30k on the flea market is a bargin. I remember this scope being 100k+
>>499810054i've hoarded these scopes just incase of a price hike.
>>499810054Non FiR flea so people actually sell the ones they pick up from players.
>>499811925how come the vuduus and razers are still expensive?
>>499812620cleaner, NVG friendly and harder to get access to
>>499812620Because they're better, more desirable, and more scarce.
>>499812620Because people are willing to pay so much for them, Tac30s were only expensive the last few wipes because access to them was severely limited.
>Kill PMCs on PVE>Loot Lv 5 plates and rigs.>Can't buy them yet.>Pain in the ass to store them all. I don't really know what to do with all these...
>>499522795its really bad, you get confiscated pretty much always if you go near bosses or events. otherwise if you just loot bolts and nuts all day long, they dont care
>>499798474unironically brilliant map design. not only the recent expansions but in general, the map as a whole flows really well.everyone says its too dark though and they're fucking retards because prior to the global illumination it was literally darker than it is now, yet no one seemed to care.

>>499848164Anyone who's working on the core aspects of the game aren't also working on the guides.
>>499846582Doesn't fall come first? I forget if they confirmed that there would be a fall season, and I also forget if it's already implemented and I'm just too blind to see it. I forget if things looked greener in the summer.Either way yes I'm excited for snow and hope I catch the first snowfall in-raid again, it was so fucking cool to watch the map transition in real time. Actually blew me away when it happened.
Just found out that I need 15 bitcoin to get the bigger pockets. Glad I didn't spend them on the thicc weapon case.

do i go into night raids if i want to hunt bosses?
>>499876675more cheaters and sweaties at night but the bosses are easier with the reduced sight. try it, if you get denied by cheaters just go day then otherwise always night
Do the goons fight with scavs?

>>499881475>this weekwait what the fuck do you mean this weekhow rare is that fucking key?
>>499882623Very. Even on the extreme off chance it spawns it's in a high traffic area and everyone always checks for it.
>>499882752Yeah no fucking wonder I never found it.I thought that scavs just eat that key up, I found the hideout key or the skybridge key in scav pockets before so I figured some asshole scav just got it and died somewhere.
BWOS
>pve
BWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOS
Pve posters should put PVE in their name as its not remotely the same game. >imagine buying a personal server for DayZ and posting pics of your base you made
>>499827791It's almost as if helmet mounted flashflights point fucking downwards and not where you're aiming.
>flashlights
at least they finally fixed flashlights shining through walls
What I wonder with PVE is, if they add more quests and especially quests in between the quest chains, do you even get them since you already finished whatever comes after? So you can get cucked out of trades and barter and shit and have to reset your account with each wipe anyway.And how are they handling Ref in PVE?
>>499874186Only level 30, so I've only got so much shit available.
>>499867738Belt fired and open bolt weapons are going to be louder when suppressed comparatively. Strangely, the uzi pro is one of the quietest weapons suppressed, but it still sounds loud to you. Same goes for the m60, ONI during the event was hard to hear shooting. In typical BSG fashion they beefed the 'feature'
Is it worth doing intel on scav case? I found like 10 of these niggas before I built the case so it's run 10 cases or sell the intel for 5mil.
>>499889083I didn't even build the Scav case this wipe now that the circle exists.
>>499888425i meant the RD-704 and not the RPD, i got the names mixed up.Used the SIG Sauer SRD762Ti 7.62x51 sound suppressor on both and its just surreal how much of a difference there is.
>>499886846You just accept the new quests.Ref isn't in PVE, I think they said something about possibly adding him because PVEfags cried about not having him but I'm not sure.
customs is a bad map.The extracts are horrid, the loot is abysmal, the level design bullies you into PvP. It's my least favorite map and I'd rather lighthouse. I'm trying to do dorms quests and its utter cancer. I'm getting poopsock squads gatekeeping me from beginner quests, this is horrible design.
>>499893872Man old customs was even worse, the railway bridge was such a turbo massive chokepoint. It's gotten better but still not too great. I think they should expand customs again, both north and south and make it more square shaped instead of rectangle. Same goes for lighthouse.I think the loot shouldn't be too great on the map, its supposed to be "the" beginner map after all.
this 48 pen round sold by prapor is unethical
Pscavs ruin streets for me. They spawn in so early, you end up getting swarmed by a Pscav party. It ruins the map for me. They should start spawning in around 15-20 minutes, not 30+ minutes
>>499897076>60 rounds after capturing outpostsYeah bro, so unethical...*buys 220 from Ref 4*
>>499897209arena was a mistake...
>>49989764220 bullets of M80 cost 2 gp coins and you can buy 7 packs of this shit.
i'm getting insanely tilted today. Every single one of my deaths have been by someone who isn't moving and it's head,eyes. I'm getting fucking sick of this.Feels like I'm punished for moving. I bring good gear, it doesn't matter because no one in the raid actually moves
>>499898162>20 extracts in a row>7+ KD>1000 hoursthis is a loaded chink account. He's rarely touched his scav and he's obviously gotten a lot of his XP from arena, but 20s in a row is a dead giveaway
>>499678092EFT was p2w before unheard edition and it became a little more p2w after unheard i dont know what was the problem, it was all about EODcucks crying because they didnt get pve access>you said all DLCs included 5 years ago nikita give me free shit>you said "unique" secure container and you gave the same container to unheard editionholy shit, it was so fucking stupid, standard players are the only ones who're sane in this retarded community>>499893872customs is only bad because of squadfags, youre pretty much guaranteed to die if theyre somewhat decent players >>499897093i agree scavs should spawn 15 minutes left on all maps except factory 5 minutes left on factory>>499898162classic unlucky death streak, it happens
>>499899678nigga, being to call in your friends and scavs not shooting you is not P2W? Compared to a bigger stash size and a container case? Are you mad. Fuck off, true believer.
Reminder that Arena is more p2w than any Tarkov edition.
>>499899956How come? Never touched it
>>499900260>insanely over the top XP gain compared to EFT>Ref selling top tier shit for basically free>locked rooms containing top tier gear only accessible by playing Arena
my god they finally fixed it
>>499900594Glad they finally added a barter for the PKM, shame they will never make something like that for the PKP after completing Gunsmith.
>>499899953>being to call in your friends and scavs not shooting you is not P2W?it is p2w and still in the game>bigger stash size and a container casethis is p2w toowhats the problem? once a game breaks the p2w barrier it doesnt matter how much p2w it is, they could add the option to finish quests,get trader lvls with IRL money and i wouldnt care, cutting the paypigs' grind by 100 hours or 500 hours doesnt make a difference for me as a standart player
>>499900485The amount of tier 6 plates I have gotton from farming arenalets opening grumpys on interchange with a singular VOG tripmine at the door is absurd. I have a thicc case full of tier 6 plates. Sometimes they just leave tier 6 plates on the ground. They want people to play arena so fucking badly
>>499900770i too would like to add a vortex to my pkm
>>499901046Just sound like a Nikkita apologist. He's a fucking fat scumbag, >Stadartfuck off, nikkita. This game was supposed to be finished in 2020 with the millions you made of EOD players. Suck a dick, niggerfaggot.
>>499901046>still in the gameRetarded nigger, the anti Scav radio got restricted to PVE only, and the other thing isn't even in the game, and even if it gets added it will most likely be PVE limited too.>cutting the paypigs' grind by 100 hours or 500 hours doesnt make a difference for me as a standart playerDumb ape nigger it would still affect you because you'd be running into fully geared Chads way faster and way more often
>>499901137>not using dovetail opticsOKP-7 for me.
>>499901060>tier 6 platesfucking chink magnet, dont even bother equipping them.
>>499901351you already gave him your $150 and made him rich, he doesnt need to finish the game>>499901427>PvE onlyi didnt know that but i wouldnt care even if it was in pvp>running into fully geared Chads way faster and way more oftenoh no! ill run into geared chads on day 3 of the wipe instead of day 5 what am i gonna do!!they literally get lvl4 plates,supressed scar with optics, m856a1 ammo on the first day, and they keep their gear advantage thanks to the 0.2 trader rep they get the first day until i max my traders which takes at least a month, who cares at that point? just give them kappa on day 1 too i dont care
>>499902435>he doesnt need to finish the gameeveryone knows this, thats why no one likes him.
>>499898162you move you die has been the meta for years now. Raids are dead silent, but there's a PMC holding a massive sightline at every choke. Even Factory is full of people not moving and soundwhoring footsteps. Audio needs to be cut down by half, headphones all should get a massive nerf, Partisan needs a huge buff. Move you die meta just isnt good for the game
>>499902435>he doesnt need to finish the gamethis and no new players will ever join because there's nothing but hackers and 5 year sweats every raid
>>499876835wtf i'm watching this lvl 72 japanese guy play and every night raid he goes into is literally dead
>>499904023i watched a hacker on customs fly over my head and kill the goons. i laughed my ass off because they dont even hide it anymore
>>499902975you move you die meta will always be in this game because its at the core of the game design, low TTK always makes the camping(ratting) super powerful because you die without having a chance to react-lowering hearing distance would work to some degree but doesnt really fix the problem-buffing partisan isnt preferable because forcing people to change their playstyle isnt good for the game, let everyone play the way they want-improving visibility would work to some degree but itll always be really hard to see still players unless you add colored outlines to enemies which would ruin the games realistic dark vibelow TTK rewards people with shit aim because they get luckyhigh TTK rewards skilled people because theyve consistent aim,even then rats with good aim will win but at least you can get into cover and have a chance to kill them instead of dropping on the ground in 0.367 seconds
>>499904023every raid is dead because every single person and their moms are using silencers
>>499907137silencers should only change the sound profile if sub-sonic ammo is used.
>>499907660Other way around, but yeah. Subsonic in a suppressed weapon is more effective. Supersonic out of a suppressor just attenuates the sound profile, and you would most certainly hear it beyond 100m.
Just make 90% of suppressors FiR only. Keep the ones like the DT Hybrid, pistol suppressors and integrated suppressors on traders and get rid of the rest.
when did this game peak? voip?
To this day, it still feels like I'm "missing" something about solo CQB:>Be inside a building>Someone enters it>Feel like there's never a better option than just staying but and being dead silent until the dude comes close enough, so you can peek and spray him>This is even further motivated by the fact that there's no 100 % silent movement anymore and the sound system is still so broken that it's impossible to tell verticality, distance and even directionAnd then there's the:>Be the one entering a building>Gorillion rooms, so get to try and clear at least a few rooms or corridors with nades hoping that you force the dude to move>Check rooms until the other dude creeping in a dark corner makes the decisions to peek and spray your face>If the other dude starts playing aggressively, he just gives his position away and gives me a chance to actually fight backLike, as a solo player, what even are my options? Open world PvP is fine and fun, there's a lot to do, ways to react, different playstyles etc. CQB on the other hand feels like there's fuck all you can do other than learn every square centimeter of the building you are in and hope that you don't get fucked over by the sound, then just wait and wait until an opportunity presents itself.How do I do IT, lads?
>>499917138When I was new to the game and just learning to play. When finding even half-decent loot was a cool experience. When even surviving a single raid was an ecstatic experience. Now it's just tryharding and feeling numb, if I don't solo a full squad with good gear and exit the raid with their shit. The game is shit.
>>499917378I simply don't fight indoors if I can help it. Ill put tripmines at the high traffic areas if I hear someone in a building, sometimes blocking off their exit completely, and just go do my own thing and if I hear a boom, well they moved and might have died - or you know where they are at. The horizontal sprint head tilt peek for info is still a thing, and if you are going to run it down a dorms hallway at least have a flashlight on, or if you have the nuts, push over your own M67s.
>Literally spend like 15 minutes just chasing a dude who has absolutely no idea I'm stalking his ass>He kills a scav and stops by to loot in the middle of nowhere>Blast his ass, almost fail to make the kill, but finally put him down before he can pinpoint my locationMan, it feels so good, when your long ass hunt actually pays off. Dude even had good gear on and I got my setup to 7/8.
>>499920195Based hunter.
>>499918154the game is unironically the most fun when you first start. then you slowly realize how jank it is and how incompetent bsg are. i wish i could sell my account and make my money back
>>499901662b-b-b-b-based
>>499920547Eh, even though the poopsock experience is pretty damn shitty, I still think that I've gotten bang for my buck. Got EoD back in like 2016 or 2017 from a sale. Almost 3000 hours on the clock and I truly enjoyed the first 1000 hours or so. Now this game is nothing but an addiction and a toxic habit that I keep coming back to every now and then.Also the fact that all my bros stopped playing like 5 years ago makes the experience even more shitty and lonely. I remember playing as a duo being fun, even if the raids didn't go your way. Haven't played with anyone else for the past 2000 hours with the game. It's was especially fun, when you were playing with people who were also new to the game.
>Get killed in peculiar circumstances>It's another sub 200 hours played player with crazy gear while being less than level 15It's all so tiresome, bros.
>>499917378when you're playing defense, being silent until the last moment is the correct approach. as for offense, in my experience, it's best to play it as hot and fast as possible. fuck clearing every room and probing with nades, literally just sprint through with PKs until you reach some favorable cover and never sprint in a straight line- you should always be bobbing and weaving around corners without hesitation. if there's anyone in a room or holding a shallow angle, 9 times out of 10 you can get them to fire at you(and miss) as you sprint by. long angles like the hallways in resort and dorms are the exception, which is when you should nade.another way is to only give scav-tier audio information. just walk around at normal speed, stopping at intervals to audibly swivel around a couple times, check your mag, and continue walking. if you haven't already given yourself away, any veteran player won't be concerned about giving away their position to you and will try to peek you nonchalantly, giving you at least a half second while they try to line up a headshot on what they think is AI. it's not as retarded as it sounds, i swear. unironically sun tzu-tier psychological warfare. does not work against noobs though.
>>499922140saddest part is apparently these below 300 hour players do not even get banned
>>499921719>Now this game is nothing but an addiction and a toxic habitso true. i want off this ride
>>499917378tarkov is a circle of pain, no one actually wins. Your play comes around but you're going to get fucked over by the person that gets theirs
>>499925528Have reported all the blatant ones, but haven't gotten a confirmation that any of them got banned. Pretty sad, ngl.
>>499921719> the poopsock experience is pretty damn shittyi am pretty sure i would still enjoy it if nikita wouldnt try his best to ruin everything that is fun.> every fun unlock is tedious grind> fun events get ruined by cheaters> boss grind ruined> hotspots ruinedon top of that nothing fucking works anymore, they have broken the game so hard its not even funny
>>499926723oh yeah, i started this wipe with my last wipes reputations, was kinda ass to start with over 6 scav rep. lightkeeper still broken but hey atleast arena sync works now!
do people cheat in arena, i've had a few matches where a player was sus as fuck.
>>499927572no, that would be highly unethical behavior
>>499926723bugs i've encoutered this wipe>teleporting scavs>containers bugging out and i cant open them>constant menu errors >server crashing >sound still bugged, player sounds like they're right next to you but in actual fact they are 3 stories above you. It's tiresome, all the spagetti code is fucking the game.
>>499927732I just had a match where this naked guy was using a VAL with SP-6, he was snapping angles and one tapping everyone like he had ESP.
>>499927572Yea. I've said it before but cheaters in arena are quite shit at hiding it. It's usually pretty easy to tell.>>499927802>containers bugging out and i cant open themI think this is just a weird thing with the variable loot where the container is "there" but not supposed to be.
>>499929557also had a weird bug where a player was in the air spazzing out while phasing in and out. Don't know if it was desync or a cheater
>>499930710That's an ai scav spawning in. It's supposed to do that under the map but they fucked it up somehow.
>>499926371yep, first raid today? so fucking obvious guy rushing over the sawmill, trying to prefire me through rocks and silent nading me
>>499931386i love the ones that pretend like they dont see me but they know im there. like they want their ESP to be believable
>>499927572Last wipe in a teamfight we had a guy floating around like a fucking spectre dodging bullets in front of our faces. Like his model was wisping back and forth in air like some kind of ghost lmao, it was hilarious and everyone on our team was laughing their assess off because it was just so blatant. That's really my only experience with cheating in arena though
>>499924306>spoilerI used to do this shit all the time. Didn't always work out but sometimes it did, and that's the important part.
>>499917378As a fellow solochad this is my strat:>don't sprint anywhere unless you're totally out in the open or in an active gunfight>circle peek corners constantly to check them and bait shotsIf you're already inside a building and you hear someone come in, you're not wrong that staying put in a corner silently is a good strat. If -you- enter a building though that you suspect someone could be in then it's best to stomp around a bit and flashlight some corners to bait some activity. This works best when you're confident no one is outside (because you came from there and already cleared it) so you don't have to worry about people hearing you nearby. Be confident when you're clearing a building, then when you're finished go back to creeping.
Big bag + Small RigOrSmall bag + Big Rig
>>499933518>dont moveFITFY
>>499933646bags are donation devices for chinks. I just bring something like a MPPV . Also nice for reserve and interchange so i dont have to use the awful ratted extracts.
>>499933518>circle peek corners constantly to check them and bait shotsThere a new strat you can do if you're good enough where you can sprint halfway around a corner and spin around with your mouse to bait shots. It's pretty funny.
>>499933518none of this advice actually matters when you get head,eyes in a fucking instant because there's someone holding an angle god fucking knows where
>>499933646I run the takedown 90% of raids. It's less than 40k and has a decent amount of space. It's also pretty small so you don't have a massive bag sticking off your back. It's only real downside is being 3 slots wide so you can't fit some of the larger rigs in it. Though if you're poor enough that you need to worry that much about what size rig and bag you're carrying then just use whatever you have laying around.>>499934902That shit happens even when you're in a squad. It's literally impossible to check every corner and angle. Mitigating it is all you can do which actually doesn't make that advice worthless. Though if you're a defeatist homo you can just ignore any and all ways to do that and just w key in to every building like an ape then seethe when someone deservedly kills you
>>499935603>defeatistnigga, im a realist. No one moves in raids, if you're moving you're going to get tapped by one of the 12 PMCs jerking off to pornhub while they wait for footsteps. Watch streamers play, they will hold an angle for 20+ minutes if they have to. It's not for me, I like fast gameplay, not boring and sluggish. I come back due to bad habits, yes pre-intertia was better.
>>499935603>W key into a buildingcompared to "stomping" around giving your position away and hoping the no life poopsocker actually presses W key himself? Go to dorms and do that.
>>499933646#no bag gang. fuck a bag. all my homies hate bags. you'll never see my slim silhouette, i'm like a ghost nigga. miss me with that looter playstyle, that shit's for pussies. only time you'll catch me with a bag is if i pulled it off an opps body.
>>499935906Find a different game dipshit. CoD sounds your speed. People play this game like cowards and you need to react accordingly. Claiming that any advice to mitigate dying to these people doesn't mean anything is fucking retarded. >>499936513What are you even on about?
>>499937540maybe read the conversation chain you're responding to, dick head
>>499937609Those are my posts. Did you entirely misunderstand the point of the post you're replying to in the first place?
>>499937540>CoDnigga, shut the fuck up. What are you even talking about? You know EFT was never like CoD. Raids should flow, they don't at the moment and the most cancerous playstyles are rewarded.>mitigatelike hang yourself fr rn. ive played enough to know you're essentially gambling each raid if you survive or not
does nikita know he can charge for the audio optimizations?
>>499937858Yea you're a fucking retard stop talking to me. Adapt or fuck off. Complaining that people are playing the game differently now and refusing to change your play style accordingly is just stupid. Keep dying to ratting faggots and pissing about it as if you didn't do anything wrong.
>>499938250>nigger on the main coverdropped
>>499938307my S/R is 65% on PMC. I'm telling you how it is and no amount of rituals or dumbass advice is going to stop you getting killed or it doesnt even matter. It's luck of the draw of how your raid is populated.
>>499938319It's called Black Ops after all.
>>499934692I've seen it too but I've been too lazy to get a bigger mousepad and fuck with my sensitivity to make that work. Just yesterday though I did a quick circle peek in D2 and baited shots from a ratfag camper. I didn't kill him but just left and went to extract elsewhere lol. Saved my life.
>>499902975>>499902975I always bring a green smoke to Factory as an ice breaker because of this. Throw that shit toward the middle of the map, scavs freak out, somebody shoots and then usually the party gets started.>>499917138Definitely the snow wipe. Huge influx of noobs around that time too. I have some hope for this upcoming wipe (hoping my fellow PVE shitters come back to PVP), but realistically the game is dying and I'll probably stop playing around lvl 30 as usual
>>499945949>Definitely the snow wipefelt like the game was in decline before this. snow was magical though
>Ushankas rocketed to 50k a piece, when I'm just starting setupOh for fuck sakes. As if this fucking task wasn't ass enough this late into the wipe to begin with.
>Hear a dude move right next to me>I'm 99,9 % sure he is in the room next to me>A healing animation begins>Rush out and storm the room next to me>Nobody>Suddenly his healing sound goes muffled, he was actually a floor above me and I blew my coverNice.
>>499953656Yeah, it definitely was in decline - just the combination of new recoil + new armor system + ground zero combined w/ the timing of the wipe (there was really no competition at the time as every other shooter had become stale). Then the snow happened.I don't think that it'll ever top that combination
>Go into Shoreline to kill some scavs with AKM series weapons>Get to kill 1 scav, kill 3 PMCs and eventually die to a PMC while searching for scavs to kill>Saw a total of three PMC squads and was forced to engage two of them>0 solo PMCs, 1 scavI fucking love swimming in PMC squads!
>>499962192You'll be swimming in scavs as soon as you're done with punisher.
>>499962268Oh you know it
>Run into a squad>It's at least a three man>Kill two of them>Last guy stops peeking and have no idea where he is>Just fuck off from the scene knowing he will camp his friends' corpses until the very end and only then exit the raidThe amount of times I've gotten domed by the "there's always one more"-dude when going for the loot is so high that I've deemed it just not worth it. At least I get to enjoy the fact that I ruined their raid and their last butt buddy has to hold ground, since I might still be coming after the loot or I might be counter-camping his ass somewhere etc. Instead my ass has exited the raid 20 minutes prior.
>>499885343they point forwards enough to be usable now, especially on factory, i like running them
>>499972386>>499885343In my 4000 hours in Tarkov I haven't seen a single soul use a helmet mounted flashlight. Not that you'd want to start now, it's just a shoot me beacon.
>>499976395I did once.Then I had no idea how to turn the flashlight off while its mounted to your head, that was before the rework tho
I just noticed, the faster you run, the more bullets you dodge
Why do so many of y'all care which version of Tarkov we play? I wanna have fun in my free time, I don't exist to be an NPC in your game. I don't exist to be a loot aggrigator for the next cheater that's gonna head/eyes me through a wall.And enough with the "blaming cheaters is copium" bullshit, people. It's Tarkov. The sheer number of cheaters has always been a well-known factor in tarkov. There are countless videos about it, everyone who's played more than 50 hours understood how rampant the cheating was right up until PvE released, seems like.It honestly feels like everyone getting butthurt over people's switch to PvE is just upset because now all of the "easy kills" disappeared and they have to play with other sweats and cheaters. So what has the response been? There's been no attempt to encourage us to come back, instead y'all throw your little tantrums in the posts and make fun of us? Grow up.
>>499980029That right there. Dad with job and life besides gaming here, too. I get one-two hours of gaming every two-three days. And depending on my mood and friends I don‘t always play Tarkov.Which means the choice between having to deal with sweaties, cheaters, exit campers, being low level and never making it past level 25 due to wipe as a package vs. only having to deal with wonky AI but always getting your gear back in insurance is fairly simple.
I play games to have fun and unwind somewhat from everyday life. I’m older than probably most people on /eftg/, and my reflexes, vision and skill levels are not where they need to be to play PvP. I’ve had this game since 2020, and even built my first gaming PC to specifically play this with my kids, who were really into it at the time. My kids stopped playing shortly after I started (no coincidence there, right? lol). Fortunately a group of friends who I played Destiny with also got into Tarkov, and we played together a lot. In all that time, I was NEVER comfortable playing solo, regardless of how much money I had, so if I had to play alone, I would mostly scav.Enter PvE - it took a few raids to get the feel for AI behavior, but I’ve been having a blast playing solo, and actually prefer it in most cases except for the social aspect of playing with friends. There is zero”fear” when going into raids. No longer do I have to worry about being shot in the head from someone I never saw, and even if I saw them first more often than not I would come out on the losing end of the firefight. To me, this is what a “game” is supposed to be about. I know a lot of people love PvP because they like to test their skills against others. That’s great for them, but not something I desire nor care one bit about. I will never go back to PvP.

Are these reddit reposts? The problem with pve is that you aren't even playing the same fucking game as pvp. You might as well go into the terraria general and start talking about minecraft. I don't want to hear your stupid fucking pve stories because they're all meaningless. You're playing against AI.
Is there a collection of voicelines for tarkov?I never fucking know if what I just heard is a boss i rarely see, Partisan sneaking up on my ass, a BEAR pmc fucking with me or just a scav voice line i never heard before
>>499982767How do you know that Xiao_Ping_Chengfu that just killed you on labs isnt a bot?
>>499982852Might check youtube or something, I'm also bad at recognizing some boss lines
>>499983061yeah i tried but its all just fucking youtube shorts of some gay faglord with a thinly grown mustache talking into a blue yeti mic over the voice lines i rather dip my dick into Tabasco and fuck a cactus
>>499980029>>499980593>>499981792

Even playing PvE on this game feels like a ball crushing chamber. When you pair how ruthlessly addictive the extraction shooter model is with a quick TTK bad raids end up erasing all the good feeling a few good raids brought before it. In my adult life I have rarely ever had a game make me seethe this hard. I'm beginning to realize this genre is a new League of Legends in the making.
>>500006305>have a couple shit raids in a row where i don't get past the 5 minute mark>followed by a good raid where i fuck up a duo and get some decent loot>feel better even though all their gear and loot combined didn't account for even half of one of the kits i lostIt's all about mentality. Once a shit raid is over that's it, it's over. Fuck it, move on. It helps if you have no gear fear and enough money to stay kitted up no matter what but even early wipe you gotta just accept that the game is bullshit and that you can't let it get to you.
Once birdeye misses his shots, do the goons start running after me? Or do they stay put until I go into their "zone" ?

What's a good rig / armor I can use that doesn't weigh like 12kg? Strength builds too slowly and the kit I run already starts me out overweight ... Or should I just take out the plates and run the build in level 3 armor? At this stage in the game everyone runs ammo that pierces level 5 and 6 anyway

>>500018478Anon, your free CPCs from Ref?
>>500019023I don't wanna play Arena and feed into the machine. I got to level 35 all by myself playing the game the way it was intended.
>>500019128Based honest Tarkov player.
>>500018986Now that you have the bedroom key you have an excuse to unlock Lightkeeper!
Come on man
>>500022909Just survive, bro.That item is shit anyway
>>500023106yeah but it transforms into a free ledx and hideout managment skill
>>500023192>it transforms into a free ledxBy the time you get the book required for that craft, do you really still need a LEDX?
Why is EU so fucking hard? Full of Espers and squads
>>500023543you always need money
>>500023691Yes, but it's far more efficient to just loot Lightkeeper's island and make like 2 mil instead of crafting a LEDX.
>>500023940You can do both.
>25 hits>700 damage absorbedthis is a joke
whats this guys endgoal?
>>500029378Helping others escape from Tarkov.

>>500035160i split mags 15 PS 15 PP. No point of the whole mag being PP since if you dont kill them with 15 shots, you're likely dead anyway.
>>500007204scavguns are fucking magic, sometimes an ak with iron sights is straight up mystical in its ability to land headshots. Once I had a scav FAL that I then took onto my PMC without modding it at all, and landed a 150m headshot on a pmc with the iron sights at a bad angle on the first try. You have to deck you pmc out like a scav anon
>>500040786decking your PMC like a scav means less cheaters are interested in you. I'm pretty sure that's how it is and I don't think it's placebo. Let's say you get cheaters ever 3rd raid, that means that cheater wont see you as a threat if you're running a VPO .366 and will leave you be.

>>500041991why did people love the trooper armor again? I mean before plates, people loved running this and it was always expensive. I always hated thorax only armors because shotgun scavs would shred you
>>500043528Sorry but i refuse to wear russian slop, i'll put them in a Gen 4 or THOR tops
i genuinely cannot see fucking shit on factory.
>>500043697it's a lot less good now with the new armor system, the high price it may demands today is just old market habits. But yeah back in the day before plates it was a great lvl4 armor.>>500043703uh sweetie "slop" is reserved for natoslop mmkay

>>500044948barely covers anything tho
>>500043697>>500044795>why was it greatforgot to answer that, I think because it was light, relatively cheap, and nigh infinitely repairable, while also being much easier to find/access than the larger coverage lvl4s. Like by the time you can buy the lvl4 osprey you've moved on to lvl5 armor anyway.
>accidentally chose lighthouse instead of interchange>loot a whiskey and water filter real quick then leave to southern road>entire time hear some asshole taking shots at people with a .338 from the lighthouseThis is why I don't play this map
>>500046241every map is like this though. Tarkov is not getting any new players and the only people left playing are the 5+ year vets who have at least 2k+ hours who poopsock on every map. I stopped playing PvP and only play Arena and SPT.
>>500044948the coverage is ass what I mean, I'd rather run the kirasa which has lvl2 soft armor but protects sides/throat from shotgun scavs
>>500046241>intentionally choose lighthouse>loot the marked room on the island and get on top of the lighthouse>take shots at people with a .338 from the lighthouseThis is why I play this map
>>500046684>waiting 30 minutes to bully timmies very riveting high octane gameplay, can totally see why everyone plays this game.

I'm sorry you got domed by someone with more hours than you but it doesn't mean that you need to complain about it to everyone else.
>>500047274EU. They probably thought they were getting sniped from the other side of the road, and weren't expecting to get shot from the island.
>have hit the interchange arena stash 5 times and always lived with the lootgrumpy's stash is blessed, I only used the car extract once too
>>500047773why do i get fuckin die hard spetnaz in my lobbies and you get retards that actually stand still on massive high open spots?

>>500050989ref sells level 5 plates. Level 6 plates aren't worth running
>>500068747I get this too. I think it's like throwing yourself at a brick wall over and over and expecting something to change. I think time of day effects it day, just come back another day
>>500068747>90% of gameplay is damage control>The rest 10% actually playing the game.I would find it thrilling, if the risk wasn't consistently so high that you either have to make it break it. The times in between are so rare.
>>500069740>get cursed with badluck>keep dying to stupid shit>go to scav>get picked off by a PMC in 1 minute>get extremely tilted and disheartenedim a decent FPS player and have been playing since 2020. I've just never cracked PvP or surviving, my enjoyment comes from achieving goals within quests and learning the maps inside out. It's just so shitty, i dont get where i go wrong.I think I hate myself and I'm addicted to the pain.
>>500069224Yeah, it's so strange. I have never had such inconsistent feeling gaming experience in any other PvP FPS in my whole life. Tarkov is just on another level, when it comes to shitty experiences. Most of the time it feels like the first raid of the day dictates how things are going to turn out.And man, no game is fucking existence makes you feel as shitty as this game. After you get frustrated, your performance dips and when you throw in some pure bad luck you are in for a bad fucking time. Too bad I hate myself too much, so I can't just quit, but instead I go into a furious mindset of "I'm so fucking dogshit that I DESERVE this suffering unti things change." and as we all know it, things will not change until you just quit for the day.
>>500072879i wouldn't be surprised if theres some sort of fuckery going on like SBMM. Nikkita already confirmed there was match priority for certain players.
>>500073395>i wouldn't be surprised if theres some sort of fuckery going on like SBMMIt would explain so much, to be honest. But seeing how incompetent BSG is when it comes to balancing and matching related stuff, let's be real here. Though, for example today, I've gotten killed by people who have had 4000 hours or more with the game, while yesterday and day before that I actually kept running into people with reasonable game time (from a few hundred hours to a few thousand).
>dorm marked room keys are 1.5m/use on fleawhat the fuck are people getting back there that makes that even remotely worth it?
>>500075438streamer hype. it's a pretty overrated key.
>>500070978>>500072879>tilted at tarkovSomehow I don't get upset with this game, I think realizing how random and unbalanced the game is by design means that none of the fights are really "fair" so there's just too much outside of your control. If you have a day where you're getting domed out of nowhere it's really not something you can prevent. Likewise in gunfights there's an aspect of randomness that plays into everything that happens along the way. I would get crazy upset with playing smash bros online a while back, but tarkov has never really made me upset like that. For the record, I think the jank/randomness in this game is good. It makes strange shit happen all the time and no raid goes predictably, which is what makes the game fun for me.
>>500072879are you me?
>>500077165it is freeing to let go of your worry and accept the chaos.I got disheartened because I'd see streamers who reached lightkeeper while i was still collecting gas analyzers and dying to high levels. I just accepted the raid is a fuckfest and no one is safe
if i get killed by a pscav, i go to reserve or streets and i linger around where scavs tend to build up and massacre them
>>500081404based. fuck pscavs. they deserve the abuse. t. frequent scav player
>>500083148lmao, same desu. most of my money comes from scavving streets.
should big sniper calibers be able to oneshot the thorax?
>>500084481You used to be able to do it with 54r but pestily bitched and they changed it.
>>500084785i feel like they should, its nothing more frustraing than seeing 8+ hits with M80 or LPS. It just makes them feel very weak unless you land a facetap
>Kill a boss + guards>The boss's body despawns, and only hisThis shit is driving me insane, I'm still cucked out of the golden pistol because of this happening a while back.
>>500085430Level 5 plates are extremely accessible this wipe, which is probably what you're feeling. Everyone aims for heads, which is all the more easy this wipe with the introduction of the throat hitbox. I can't even remember the last death to a PMC that was from anything but a head or throat shot. It actually feels worse than last wipe where the armor hitboxes were smaller.
>>500086252>Armor hitboxes were changed>Armor was less effective so they made higher tier armor more available.>Change the armor hitboxes back to being more effective.>Make no changes to the availability of armor. Honestly, if it just wasn't so accessible via Arena it wouldn't be anywhere near as bad.
>>500052827Monster's dogshit and I don't know how anyone can stomach it. Especially the original one, but they're all shit.
Factory is the worst map and it needs to be transfered to arena.>no loot>1-2 minutes into the raid, it's dead because everyone extracts after their first gunfight>rest of the raid is silent with rats holding angles and pscavs pouring in hoping to score PMC loot>tagillia is fun to fight, but his loot is garbage and either ESPs you or glitches out>barely any quests the rework doubles down on everything wrong with this map, it didn't fix anything.Forklift spawn is still aids, there's still no loot and theres no incentive to play.
>>500086490As retarded as that is, I genuinely find the throat hitbox change more egregious. Increasing armor hitboxes but making it easier to kill someone in a single bullet feels like SHIT. Next wipe I expect they'll change the plates in the CPC to level 4 plates or simply make it a level 4 rep barter and more expensive though. It's what I'd do. >>500086892Lighthouse and Reserve are tied for the worst map imo
>>500087001i much prefered pre-plates. It seems like BSG have no clue what they are doing and are just knee jerking to what ever streamers say.>wah, timmies is slipping bullets between my platesdont get why they're adding in more critical areas.
>>500086892>Forklift spawn is still aidsi have not gotten into a single fight at forklifts this wipe. the closest spawn is underground and they don't even push that direction anymore. you're retarded.
>>500087530i still dont like it because you're still sandwiched, just not as bad anymore. I've seen people headglitch up the stairs tho with NVG
>>500087001Lighthouse and Reserve are really fun on PVE. It's a really weird contrast with how bad they are on PVP.
>>500087445It was a pretty common opinion that a more elegant solution would be to include a critical thorax hitbox that's smaller and covered by armor and leave the main thorax hitbox as is. This would mean plates actually work I haven't even seen that much negative push back against the throat hitbox, either. It's fucking bizarre. They definitely kneejerk to whatever streamers are pissing about. Recently they've been screeching about dogshit spawns though so hopefully this is a broken clock moment and they change them. >>500087690They're both so disgustingly reliant on getting a good spawn and you might as well instantly kill yourself with half the spawns on either map. I did 3 reserve raids yesterday and all 3 ended within 5 minutes as the guys who got the nearest spawn to me instantly either pushed my spawn or sat on a gay angle for me to walk by. They're both extremely frustrating maps.
>>500088128>Introducing the spawn-tier system>PMCs with higher Karma (And scav karma) spawn at higher tier spawns.>Unheard edition start at +10 PMC Karma>Also you can buy karma on the additional purchase tab
>>500088480they wouldnt dare try this after the unheard backlash.
>>500088996What backlash? Everyone fucking bought it.
pscavs are genuinely the worst part about pvp
>>500089314true, haha. In the end, it didn't really matter did it?BSG have zero lawsuits and even the most vocal people against it all ended up buying it anyway. Least we got PvE tho
>>500088128Reserve isn't bad because contrary to what other people say in this general there are multiple locations with worthwhile loot and the map is circular in flow, meaning pmcs are traveling in multiple directions. Lighthouse is pure trash because it's linear in nature with all roads leading to water treatment and nothing worthwhile outside of that. Believe it or not the barracks, underground warehouses, and repair/medical bays in reserve can actually net you great loot. You don't need to go to the bunker to have a good time. The only real complaint about the map is the extracts, which have at least improved with transits meaning you can leave with a backpack somewhere else than D2 for once.
>>500089405it's even worse when you're a scav and you're getting dicked down by a PMC camping scav spots with LPVOs
i like how arena and FiR changes made EFT less a second life. I hope they keep it the same next wipe.
>>500090103>it's even worse when you're a scavabsolutely can not relate, if i wanted easy mode i'd just go pve
>>500090707there's no shame in doing a scav run, i like doing them. its cosy chillin with my hobo bros and earning roubies

>can produce more m62's than peacekeeper can refreshi never knew you would have this problem
Man you have to play more arena than I'd ever care to play to get reflvl4, 1.20 is a lot of rep. And by "more than I care to play" I mean more than ~4 matches a week kek
blue labs keycard sucks fucking donkey dicksive been in there 5 times now and in 5 times the most valueable thing I found in there were grizzly kits and golden stars
>>500130542it's dogshit and only worth it for the keycard gamble which is more than retarded with their 10 use limit
>>500131250yeah thats what i figuredthe keycard only spawns on the desk in the middle, right? should be able to spot it then from the outside before opening it up
>spend half hour scaving streets>get a bunch of solid loot>didn't check extracts because i'm sleepy>3 minutes left>nearest extract is halfway across the map>miss extract by 10 secondsi'm so mad
>>500131327The one with the desk lamp, yes. But item LOD is dogshit and probably even more so in card rooms so I wouldn't trust that until I see it from the outside with my own eyes. Don't forget to check for the green card outside blue, on the desk.

I always wondered, can weapons jam for scavs / bosses / raiders?
>>500138324no, you can see them use 1/100 weapons and still full auto your ass
>>500138603Yeah but sometimes they just stop shooting in the middle of a fight with a clean line of sight.Especially labs raiders are weird like that.
>>500130542just look in the window and don't open it if there's nothing good in there? it's the best keycard imo since you can just not swipe it if you don't see anything good in the room.
