>>502236608What's with the tranime OP?
Survived another thread well done lads
>>502236608>>502236704>changed the SPT part of the OP tooSPTrannies loves their tranime.
>14y old tarkov cheater get paid to do carries on discord so he can gamble it on robloxgrim
>>502235285>100 raidsyou realize how hilariously small that sample size that is, right?
>>502237535Well, clearly you don't know anything about statistics.100 samples gives us a MoE of about 9%, assuming no other weighing. So, you're right. It could be as low as a mere 51% of raids having a cheater in them.

>>502236291I'm not retarded just because I don't wanna watch your 20 minute video trying to find the single point I'm interested in. This kid sounds like he's 14 with a stuffy nose and a double digit iq. The bug existing and it ruining the economy aren't really the same thing, either. It's not like in pve where some guy was duping the fuck out of t-7s. Your claim is very hyperbolic.
>>502238256That's a lotta cope there anon.
>>502236704Cope, seethe, dilate, you don't belong here
>>502238332If you can provide tangible proof that it, in your words, "completely destroyed the economy", I'll happily admit I'm wrong. However as I've actually played this entire wipe I see 0 evidence of that being the case so your claim is hyperbolic at best and outright wrong at worst. Present a real argument or evidence or fuck off, retard.
>>502239049okeyhttps://www.g2g.com/categories/escape-from-tarkov-item
>>502239049you're arguing with an SPTfag who hasn't played tarkov in probably multiple wipes, and whose only experience with the current state of the game is second hand youtube videos and reddit posts.
>>502238769>Cope seethe dilate>Posting tranime.Might wanna have a think about that one anon.
>>502239207Are you complaining it destroyed the RMT economy then? This has existed for a long time and isn't anything new.
>>502239523You're not very smart, are you anon?
>>502239484You came here in 2016
>>502239686I think that would be you. It's either you're a total retard or that anon is right and all your info is secondhand. I'm going to guess a little of column A and a little of column B.

So sick of 24/7 fog, fuck autumn.
>>502236704>using anime website>melting over anime images
>>502236704because hes literally the only one that gives a fuck and bakes the ops u mad?
>>502243704I hate constant fog but I love fog that rolls in and out like on shoreline. It's pretty atmospheric and gives you the chance to move across more open areas without getting domed
>>502245387>I love fog that rolls in and out like on shorelineI'm playing fucking Shoreline right now, I need one last kill for SBIH and I can't fucking see shit for 80% of the raid because of the stupid god damn fog.
>it's another episode of goons spot you from 300 meters away on shoreline and know exactly where you are for the remainder of the raid no matter how far you run>it's another episode of birdshit sprints up to you completely silent and magdumps you with M80 after you kill the other twoThis game would be so much better if bosses wouldn't exist.
>>502249112I had the goons blasting me from about 150m out through the trees on woods the other day. Shits retarded

FIX THE FUCKING SPAWNS AAAHHHH
>>502258705>patch 32472857829>made spawns even worse yet again

>>>502273945>budgetI haven't needed to care about budget since like week 2 of wipe though so at this point I'm sick of russian shit rod 74s with worse recoil. worse rof, and worse ergo than guns I actually like using when I don't need to use them.
>>502274435>he doesn't like AKsI'm sorry anon I can't help your poor taste
>>502277450I don't hate them but 74s in this game just aren't very good.
>some poor timmy shoots me from behind near factory on streets>probably about 30m>i whip around and just spray center mass and drop him with 0 effortThe MP7 is hilariously braindead.
Man factory is tough with the rats, they're above and below just sitting the whole match, and when they shoot at you you can't tell the elevation of the shots
anyone else matching for a while?
>sitting in finance because i heard shots in factory>hear sprinting in the street>guy sprints in to the lobby and psycho swings the hallway with his flashlight on essentially prefiring meYes Mr. Kappa gamer you definitely knew I was there even though I hadn't made a step in nearly 2 minutes very legitimate gameplay thank you
>when you finally survive the first 10 minutes of factory and have the whole map to yourselfPlanted 2 wifi cameras on cranes, grabbed the heli logbook, and visited all the forklifts in one raid lol
>>502293245i've barely touched factory since the rework. usually the place is crawling with pscavs are they not touching it anymore?

>>502320091did the unheard of edition drop on 2021 wtffff
>>502318683>>502319260BSG are absolute kings when it comes to visual design and enviromental storytelling, but half of the maps play like actual shit, be it awful visibility, dogshit spawns, or lack of worthwhile POIs or extracts.
>>502320091>>502320223Yeah I'm actually shocked it's that good, wasn't first Reserve out in 2019?
>>502319260Labs is pretty good on PVE.Lighthouse has you getting sniped by AI from 600m+ away though, and that sucks.
>>502320478Always like those narration modes Valve games had when they would break down how level design affects gameplay like using light to guide the player or points of interest to make them look a certain way

WHY EVEN CHANGE THE FUCKING PLATE HITBOXES IF I ONLY GET SHOT IN THE FUCKING THROAT ANYWAY
i watched ten minutes of the bsg attempt to mimic "pro league" counter strike and i want to kill myself out of second hand embarrassment
>>502356643Arena as a competitive thing is utterly pathetic and I didn't even bother watching. It's a fun side thing and that's all it should be. I'm guessing this is an attempt to turn it in to consistent cash flow and it's going to fail miserably.
>>502356643What is even the in-game rationale behind the arena even existing? PMCs willingly doing gladiator style combat to death because someone yelled over a microphone for uhhhhhh roubles in a wasteland? Reminds me of how retarded the arena is in stalker.
>>502312920the MP7 works with any front iron>>502316463false, see above
>>502357301I haven't read any ingame text about the arena but I assume its a warzone style gulag for captured PMCs which is why they bothered developing the mode at all but failed to integrate it into the main game for whatever reason.
>>502357301its where your PMC goes to practice airsoft
>tfw bitcoin in a safe on interchange
>>502323151no fuck you. its one of the few things that filters you morons from being able to sit and camp entire fields. you should be complaining about the shit AI.
>>502363575I wouldn't have a problem with the fog if it wouldn't be up for 90% of every fucking raid.>you should be complaining about the shit AI.I am.
>>502363575This is why I like the fog coming in and out on maps. It gives you a chance to move across open areas without completely raping long term visibility permanently since it fades out after a few minutes. It's one of the few changes that BSG has made that's actually good. Now if only they'd unfuck the spawns.
>>502362731i don't recall there being any safes on interchange
Maybe I'm retarded but I feel like the instances of dying to a single bullet should be toned down somehow. My last probably 20 deaths have left my armor untouched or nearly untouched with a death to a single bullet the throat or head. I'm not entirely sure how this could really be changed but it's pretty annoying. Audio is so important too that running an altyn or something isn't even viable on more than a few maps. It doesn't even solve the problem of the throat being a massive annoying vulnerability either since the strongest throat armor you can acquire is level 3 soft armor which will not stop any pmc shooting you. Niggita adding throat protection isn't a solution either it's just another stupid piece of gear that I'll need to complete 57 tasks to unlock and will be level 4 at most, dumspter turn speed, and cost 100k+ rubles.
>>502374997Gee anon, I wonder how it keeps happening that you keep getting 1-tapped perfectly in the one space you don't have covered.
>>502375446Well yea that's the point. Helmets don't do shit after a certain point because most players have high pen ammo so armor ends up feeling like it's purely there for pve. I just think the experience of almost every pmc doinking me in the fucking head regardless of distance and situation is an annoying experience.

For some reason bolt actions completely filter me.I just can't mentally use them.
>>502387330I think unless you're like the sniper autist that posts in here occasionally bold actions are shit. There's almost never a time you should use one over a semi auto or automatic rifle in the same caliber.

>>502398132>game is better with friendsI hate playing against squads but I also hate being in one, too much time between raids and everyone plays like retards
>>502387330>can single-tap people with DMRs and ARs no problem regardless of situation, one shot>constantly whiff headshots with bolt actionsI don't know what it is lol, bolties are usually even more accurate but somehow my bullets seem to disappear once they leave the barrel.
>>502399118>*steps on an uneven ledge*>*dies*kek
>>502299270>pscavs on factoryI did like 6 raids yesterday and I don't think I saw a single pscav. I've also been getting some pretty great insurance returns from factory. Don't know why but I'm not complaining.
>>502299270I wanted to try out pvp once as a scav and when I loaded in there were about 9 other pscavs with me in factory, this was near the beginning of the wipe tho, it was nutty
>>502400828He might have gotten it back in insurance but someone stole the plates out of it and he didn't notice. I do it from time to time to timmies just to fuck with them.

>>502405406This was the guy I killed at the start of this raid, does he look like a cheater? It was night factory and he wasn't wearing NVGs, which might be plausible considering it's kinda lit I guess. But he didn't turn on his flashlight when we started fighting either.
>>502405779After the zombie event, it's pretty much impossible to say.945 PMCs? Yeah, massive hacker.945 Zombies? Guy just played like 10 raids during the zombie event.
>>502406179Sure, yeah I gained like 400 kills in that event too and I didn't even lean into it. But at less than 100 hours in the game did you have at least 50 pmc kills (usec cheevo), and multiple boss kills? Seems sus as the kids say.
>>502406367Yeah, it's definitely a little weird.
>>502405779>Standard account with 1k kills in 80h and a goons achievementYeah he's cheatingAlso cheaters dgaf about night time, they can apply a filter to make it look like daytime
Wow night factory is completely dead, I'm not sure if the sound is super fucked but I end up not hearing any gunfights at all. Then later on I'll see evidence of fighting (bodies, blood, etc), so it seems surprising that I can't even hear the suppressed shots. Oh well tasking is a breeze at night

>>502423016>It is a good map, just stupidly high skill to flank.Yeah it take super mega skill to hold an angle at your spawn so another high-skill individual can either walk into your crosshair or run into the open so he can get sniper by another high-skill individual overwatching from high-ground>it filters noobsNo it's actually the other way around, skill barely matter on that map, you just camp one of the chokepoint and nobody can do anything about it, which is the reason why 99% of the gigasweat streamers with 15k hours and 10mg of aderall in their circuit refuse to set foot on that place

.45 vector or 9mm vector? For me it's .45, the gentleman's choice. And by gentleman I mean people who run out of ammo mid-raid, you can NEVER bring enough ammo for this hungry little gun.
>>502469471i am biased towards .45 and will keep intermittently running the ump and .45 vector until the day i stop playing

You WILL die, in fact you're ALREADY dead the second you load in, you just don't know it yet.

>>502523537Realistically no. There's always scav runs (free stuff and the AI won't target you, except for bosses [until you get to 6.0 reputation {don't worry about it}]) which are incredibly safe, or just being careful and hoping for the best, money isn't an issue once you get used to the game. Everything you do, including getting shot, will level some skills a bit and you can always make some kind of progress towards getting quests done, so you're never realistically moving backwards. And then yeah, wipes happen every now and then so it's really not important anyway, the most important thing is learning and you're always doing that.Just don't sell your secure container, you can't get that back.
>>502522406yeah but it's not the haha teehee FUN!!1 ^-^ kind of fun. it's more like skydiving into a punji pit type fun.
>>502523537oh but also to add a reiteration:Let it go.You absolutely have to just let it go.When you die: let it go. Learn from it, think on what you could have done better, but don't worry about it. If you got cheated on, you can seethe a bit, but don't worry about it. It happens. It happens to all of us, all the time, and it's part and parcel with what the game is. You won't notice yourself getting better, but you probably will, and even if you don't, it's fine. Just let it go.
>>502523537Yes if you just walk out with all your starter gear, die, and have nothing left, you will have to learn the entire game through scav only runs every 20 minutes.My advice would be to spend a few hours on pve learning to loot on interchange,looking only OLI avoiding killa, then armor up lvl 4 plates with a saiga 20 rounder+piranha rounds on factory til you learn how to kill tagilla
The hideous AXMC has got to be the worst option for a .338 boltie BSG could have chosen to put in their game.
>>502524029i'm looking for a dayz kind of game so this sounds manageable
>>502524034^I don't think this is true, you can reset your account back to lvl1 on the tarkov site and get your starter gear back can't you?>>502522406>can I play soloYes absolutely, it's hard but it's incredibly rewarding>do I need to look up a guideYes would be an understatement. You need wikis, guides, maps, and yt videos. A ton of research and learning goes into this game as a solo newbie. It's just part of the experience so if you like learning about games with an extreme amount of depth then it's a good game for you.
>>502524684>you can reset your account back to lvl1 on the tarkov site and get your starter gear backfunny enough I had to do that when I first started playing and lost all my gear, didnt want to wait for insurance so I reset my account, the next reset said I had to wait like 3 weeks
>>502524684what would you suggest i start with? also, what edition should i buy?
>>502523537no. game has insurance and no one will be taking your shitter gear. scav runs are free and even if you do wind up with nothing in your stash, prapor will give you mak and cheese. you can also reset your acc once in a while which will give you back all your starter gear.>>502524313if the lack of true open world doesn't bother you, it's a great game. >>502524919start with standard, you can upgrade later if you want.
>>502524163>3 shots to take down a scav because the bullet hits them in the arm/leg/stomachit has to be the worst gun in the game
>>502524919I would suggest some kind of youtube video to start out with that introduces all the game's mechanics. Probably something like 1-2 hours long, thats how I started but most that info is outdated now so I don't have a video to recommend. CAN SOMEONE ELSE recommend this guy a good eft beginners video on youtube?>editionJust get the basic standard edition to play the game for yourself now, and if you're patient then you can play a lot of practice mode to get a hang of the controls/mechanics/maps. If you really like the game you can always upgrade later.>resources>tarkov.devgood maps and item prices. Maps are absolutely essential to learning the game>https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Escape_from_Tarkov_WikiExcellent guides for quests, every quest you try to do you should type in its name into this site's search and look it up. It will tell you how to do the quest, they're all incredible esoteric and impossible to do as a first timer without guides.
>>502524163>AXMCIs there some kind of boltie quest on factory for this gun? Multiple times I've dropped guys who are lvl65+ only to find them running around with that thing for whatever reason
>>502524919if you want to suffer and get the full experience of getting the shit beat out of you by 5 year veterans who have been playing for 20 wipes in a row: get standard if you have money and if you want to suffer and get the full experience of getting the shit beat out of you by 5 year veterans who have been playing for 20 wipes in a row: get unheard ofif you want to learn the game in a hyperbolic time chamber: get pve
>>502525643>start with pveI don't recommend it, you lose out on the magic of learning the game blind for the first time in a real setting. If you've got big balls and tarkov "clicks" with you it's one of the greatest fucking games ever, especially when you first discover it. The feeling of being hopelessly lost in a giant map where other players are lurking around is something you only get once. Plus pve develops bad habits anyway
>>502525875>you lose out on the magic of learning the game blind for the first time in a real settingthat magic only happened when EVERYONE didnt know what the fuck they were doing in the beginning. Now first time players are getting rushed at spawn and dying within the first 5 seconds of the game, dont know where the fuck the extracts are because they keep dying over and over again, dont know where the good loot is so they can recuperate their losses, which makes the learning process 20x more excruciating without needing to it be. With pve, they get to know the extracts, know where the good items spawn so they can at least stuff some stuff up their ass before betting btfo by vets
>>502526282I learned the game a few years ago, in the last month of wipe, pre-recoil fix where everyone else had laserbeam guns and I had jumpy pieces of shit. There is ALWAYS going to be a massive gear/experience differential in tarkov if you're a normal person. It's unavoidable and the only counter to it is playing pvp to learn how to properly survive in raids despite other players being super juiced. You can't learn pvp type stealth and mapflow in pve, you'll just learn bad habits and then get even more frustrated when you try to switch.Learning extracts is not hard, it takes like one time seeing them then you remember it. Once you get the hang of reading the .dev maps you can learn things very quickly. I just don't think it's necessary to play a ton of pve to really learn the game, you can get the fundamentals through watching a youtube exposition dump and then doing ~3 practice mode raids. Then you're best off doing the real thing.
>>502526852Maybe he can compromise, start in pvp, experience the suffering then switch to pve to get over his gear fear, then switch back to pvp
wdym by getting pve? do you mean the arena thingy?
>almost drop a duo but get too shakey on the second guy and whiff my hipshotstale as old as time
>>502529159PvE is only for unheard edition
>>502529159There's a PvE game mode you can purchase that lets you play tarkov "single player" against bots. You get a seperate character for it and can progress through quests and play the maps, but they're populated entirely by bots.
Tarkov at the start of a wipe with an influx of new people is magical if you're starting out. Nobody really knows what they're doing and whilst the meta exists, there's fewer people who're slaves to it.This late into the wipe with the population being as long as it is, you're just gonna get farmed.
>>502532121The difference is, if you have a level head you can learn a huge amount starting out in late wipe against vets. You'll start the new wipe with a massive amount of gamesense stacked up, if you were totally fresh start of wipe you'd take too long to catch up before things become "late wipe" again.
what are /eftg/'s thoughts on STALGUR 2?
maybe i'll try the game when the next wipe comes then
ID LIKE TO THANK MY MOM AND ALL MY BROS FOR BELIEVEING IN ME
>>502534349Well anon, you've done itNow what
>>502534565shit now I can stop playing the game
Any easy to get lvl5 plates if youre below lvl 42?
>>502538047Korund-VM from Prapor at lv 4 has Class 5 plates.However, they're only compatible with a handful of Russia carriers. Next is Peacekeeper at 37 who you can trade 3x SAS drives for a CQC Osprey, and those come with two TallCom Guardians that can fit into most carriers. But, it's like 180K and that's kinda spendy for two plates, Osprey itself is a little heavy.
>>502538532thanks,I looked into the Korund-VM and saw that you can buy the plates at lvl 3, guess im rushing down prap's quest tree next wipe
Relax has been complete dogshit recently. I've barely been getting anything out of it. Have they just nerfed loot all around?
>>502539140Honestly pretty much all the loot spots feel underwhelming compared to the labs residential unit.
>>502539140CHINA
bros how do I stop hoarding
>>502543234Pick a caliber you never and just sell all of the ammo you have.
>>502544237thats basically best shop ammo + all the ap ammo I cant get from traders which is all I have right now noooooooooooooo
>>502544829Nah I mean take the caliber you use the least and sell all of it not all of your other ammo.
>>502545084oh welp, that would make sense, goodbye 5.45
5.45 is the worst calibre in the game and it isn't even closeEven having infinity billion mid-high tier rounds of it out in the open from minute 1 of the wipe doesn't make me want to use it
same tbqh
>>5025466087N40 and BP need to be more accessible.>inb4 just find them in raid broMore accessible without RNG.
>>502547291Even then, 5.45 has never done anything but let me down. Even if the numbers should all line up on paper, it just never really does.
>>502547368Might be the firerate, the AKs shoot pretty slow. The AK-12 feels somewhat better because it has a higher RPM.
>"30%" boss spawn chance>haven't seen Reshala in the last 15 raids>finally see and kill a guard on the first floor of 3 story dorms>sweep first floor>nothing>sweep second floor>nothing>start walking up the staircase to the third floor>3 remaining guards and Reshala all stand right on top and stare at me>head, eyes from fucking .366 Geksa 0.01 seconds laterI fucking hate boss quests so muchOh, and of course that cunt Partisan has been at dorms 4 fucking times in those 15 raids.
I just found out about SPT, can I get comfortable with how the game works playing that then jump on the real thing?
>>502551586I mean, you can do that, but I'd argue that learning in the real game feels is way more rewarding and every small win is memorable.
>>502552423it's $50 with no regional pricing so i'm hesitating dumping money on it, especially when STALKER 2 is just around the corner
>>502552513Oh yeah sure if you wanna get the feel for the game I can totally understand that.
>>502538047peackeeping mission has class 5 plates from skier as a reward
>>502555219noice il keep that in mind as my plate upgrade before 42
>>502538047>>502555717Bro, your metaslop CPC from Ref?
>night raid>scav yells from a bush 40 meters away>instantly one shotted>7mm buckshot:)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
>>502551586The game is absolutely full of sweats with thousands of hours in the game so yeah it's worth doing that
>>502557501Many carrots!
>>502522406>>502524919Start with PVE.Pestily has a general guide on every mapWhen you start on PVP stick to Ground Zero until you're level 20. (you'll only be up against lvl 1-20s) Or at least alternate with a successful GZ raid.When you get killed by someone that you didn't see indoors or by someone who flew around a corner watch this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FytQsO9rh4gtl;dw this game has a heavy right hand peek advantage among with some other quirks
Is there any reason why I shouldn't walk around with the bipod deployed?
>>502570127It looks stupid.
>>502569509The netcode is so bad that you can get some pretty filthy peekers advantage in general.
is there any point starting playing right now at lvl 5? am i just gonna get steamrolled by high lvlvs?
>>502581234That's why they added Ground Zero
>>502581885>get farmed by 2000 hour niggas who have reset their accounts to stay at level 15.
>>502583547Those are the best people to fight
>>502581234this is one of the worst times in Tarkov in terms of gear checking, if you can reliably land headshots in FPS games you'll probably have a better time but be prepared for an especially stiff learning curve>>502581885Doesn't really matter when you can reset your account and freshly banned cheaters just buy a new gameIf you have knowledge of where to go you can get good gear well before 20 and go meme on people's first wipe
>>502583547>>502584271Ok but that's still much better than getting memed on in every single raid anywhere elseNowhere else even has a chance of giving a low level a raid where there are only other low levels
>>502581234There's just something you've got to understand with tarkov, you will ALWAYS be fighting against people with better gear/experience. It's just a fact of the game, it's been out for so long and people can level after wipe so quickly that it's impossible to time your playing to only getting "fair" lobbies. The solution is to just accept that you're going to be playing against people with better gear no matter when you start. People are known to get max traders within the first 1-2 weeks of wipe, it's a fact of life at this point. So just start playing now so you can learn as much as you can before wipe starts, so you hit the ground running. This gives you the best fighting chance, and lets you dunk on a few timmies of your own.
>>502583547that's not what people doGZ is probably dead as fuck right now
So from lurking I can tell that this is a meme topic but if I wanted to play PvE would it be better to get the SPT mod or just pay for the official mode?
>>502591487If you already have EoD, just play PVE mode.SPT is nice, you have mods, but not having the persistent economy and trading just makes it feels a little hollow.
>>502591487It's hard to play PVE when you've used the SAIN and dynamic spawn SPT mods. Hopefully they integrate the changes they've made into the main PVE game soon.
>>502591487If you really want to play single player you're probably better off with SPT. If you bought the standard edition it costs an extra $20 to get the official pve mode, which I don't think is worth it. Keep in mind the SPT might be a couple patches behind eft
>>502591487both are inherently shit because AI doesn't make for good "pvp", but SPT is slightly less shit because you can mod it.
>>502591487Stick to standardDisregard anything related to PvEThank me later
>>502603676t. player who started years ago when everyone was shit
>>502603676Why would I want to play with a bunch of chinese hackers and sweatlords?
>10>zombie event ends>tarkov general nearly dies again
>>502619751There really isn't much to say anymore and .16 won't be a transformative update either
>>502619751Some heavy fog rolled into my house and it took me a couple of hours to make my way back to the computer
>>502591487SPT with mods and AI "difficulty" set to how you like absolute shits all over PvE. It also doesn't cost money.
>>502583547dayum never thought of that das fucked
did nikita ever talk about what bsg is going to do after tarkov? are they going to make a singleplayer game?
>>502643374They had plans for one, funded by Tarkov, but that was well before Tarkov became so huge. I have to imagine the plans have changed by now.
Think we'll ever see it? Or is it too anti-fun?
>>502645442Is that an AR-15 styled VAL?
>>502645551Essentially, yeah. It's the AMB-17.
>>502645867I kind of despise it just on principle, like... I think we have enough nearly identical AR-ergo guns y'know
>>502646107Convergent evolution.Everything eventually becomes a plasticy AR-like.
>>502646107Unfortunately (depending on who you ask), the AR pattern has essentially solved the smalls arms question so everything is eventually going to morph in to some form of AR style.
I think it's sad we'll never get a STALKER halloween event.
hoe mai gawd
>>502653187Yet again we are reminded why they should have switched to Tarkoin fucking YEARS ago so they could control the prices. And also it's retarded that you can find physical coins in the first place.
>>502653187>hideout generating 3mil per dayweeeeeeeeeeew
is this still infested with cheaters
>>502654461nope havent seen one yet bro
>>502654461They're still around but not too common on NA servers
>>502654461Let's be real, you got killed by someone better and got mad
>>502654461not as bad. they get banned and you get compensated for reporting them.
>>502654461Don't play on OCE and you're finethe lowest cheater density I've experienced is on the China server of all places
>>502656806>compensatedCompensated with a "fuck you" of like 60k rubles lmao
>>502657659love me 'kita welfare bucks
>>502236608do scavs have better ai some rounds then others? i swear this last round i got annahilated by one with a toz head eyes from across a large areas
>>502654461PvP is yeah. Basically one every raid. Most people play PvE now.
>haven't played in months>do a random pve raid to see if anything's different>the only thing that's really different is I can't aim for SHIT anymoreit's over
bros theres lvl6 light armor lets fucking goooooooo
very niceeee

heard good things about this game's inmersion and gun realism but im not sure if i wanna buy it, any advice? Ive been playing hell let loose which is pretty inmersive too
>>502708409It's not everyone's cup of autism, that's for sure. I guess wait for a sale, get the cheapest edition and only upgrade if you find the game enjoyable. Don't buy Unheard tho, it's for fags.
>>502708641do you guys know other "inmersive" shooters too? Theres no milsim/fps general so i thought id ask here if anyone has experience with Squad, Post Scriptum, Ready or Not, Arma 3...
>>502708749If you like Hell Let Loose, Squad would be the next logical step. The only thing that is tying your games together seems to be is it satisfying to shoot the current weapon I’m holding which Tarkov has. There are a lot of things Tarkov introduces that you may or may not like.
>>502708749Ready or Not is supposedly good. Milsimfags are insufferable autistic retards though, keep that in mind if you decide to try them.
>>502709071HLL has been good to me so far other than a few retarded latinos i encountered, i guess the autism will ramp up as i get into Squad or Arma territory
>>502708749squad, scriptum(i think it's squad 44 now?), and HLL are basically the same thing. if you like one you'll like the others. very team-oriented, logistical shooters.tarkov is not like those at all.
>>502708409>>502708749Tarkov is arcadey as fuck.
>>502709215Squad gets a bad rap but it’s completely server dependent. IMO the best servers to play on are invasion only which limits the squad leader autism and retardation. As long as you don’t waste vehicles and try to stay within 150m of your squad leader you won’t have any problems.
>>502709609from a gameplay loop standpoint, kinda. aesthetically it is the opposite.
>>502650458anomalies neverblowouts neverlead-lined safe containers where you need to keep anomalies and cannot store normal loot nevermutants (especially bloodsuckers) neverdespite it all i am thankful we had a kino, if a bit annoying, zombie event with even stalker pistol zombies
>>502718463There’s still the anomaly that’s causing my bullets to miss the target
>every pmc either has head seeking bullets and kills me in a single round or doesn't hit me at allWhat the fuck is wrong with this game?
>>502725360There's money in hacking and RMT shit. So, pretty much every raid has some kind of hacker in it who will beam you flawlessly.
PVE and its consequences have been a disaster to the Tarkov community.
>>502485526You're not wrong
>>502725360A fuckton of people have been playing this game for a while now (I have 5k hours)At the same time there's still an influx of new players for some reason
the best way to nerf scav raids is to make it so you cant do a scav raid if youve over 200k roubles stash value, now you either play your pmc or have to delete your stash to do a scav raid
>>502746939You would basically never see player scavs and they would be a complete non-threat since you have to be a complete fucking retard to be that broke. Might as well remove them at that point.
>>502746939that's retardedYou get 10 minutes on each map and you can only spawn in finished raids where all pmcs are extracted. PMC bodies will be semi looted and the gear is distributed randomly to AI scavs around the map or a select few AI scavs that spawn around the bodies/general area. What happens next is up to you.
>Kill 90000 PMCs whilst wearing a clown costume on Shoreline.>3 times in a row I spawn and immediately get rushed by Goons who teleport through a door and headshot me. Amazing.
>>502753076>>502753489if you have enough money to buy gear you must play your PMC its that simple, no more scav maining, no more risk free rouble farming
>been playing tarkov as my main game since 2022, having a blast>stalker 2 looks alright I guess but it's singleplayer>bought squad and it felt like a janky weightless mess>not looking to any other games on the horizon>just keep playing tarkovIf this game dies I don't know what the fuck else I would do.
>>502236608i spawned inside of someone on factory..... retarded

>>502774932This would be really funny, give some purpose to the currently redundant and/or shitty foodstuffs. Just some light buffs that make it more fun to find food in raid, <10+ to certain skills for a duration of a raid doesn't sound broken. And food is ubiquitous enough that any player could find some regardless of if they're sweats/timmies. But make sure the effects don't stack, otherwise you'll have chads feasting at the start of raids to become demigods.

what's the most frequented scav extract on reserve right now?asking for a friend
>>502782145Unfortunately for you there are too many that are used and on the other side of the map from each other. If I HAD to guess at a most-used one I'd say hole in the fence by the mountains but really I think it's an almost even split
Hey. Want to party?
Scavs? Here? No way, man...
>put red rebel and paracord on a mannequin in the hideout>you can now use red rebel extracts without bringing them in raid
>>502794449delet this

Can you reset your progress in PvE mode? I'm very tempted to buy this game
>>502802225You can do it on the website, I think.
>>502802225>Can you reset your progress in PvE mode?yes. you need to buy the base game and then the pve addon
>>502653187>>502653975>>502654687kill yourself pvetranny
>>502802225or you could buy the base game and install SPT and mod every single thing in the game from UI to npcs
>>502802225>>502802890or you could just play the real game against other people.
>>502802984oh you mean the chinese vacuum hackers?

maybe i'll try arena breakout first
which plates to keep and which to throw away?
>>502809865>PVEnot telling.
>>502810148>hes never seen this many VI armored steel plates in his life because they always get vacuumed from KIBA before he could even reach the mallkek
>>502810372I have, because everyone was running them last wipe.
>>502810372If you were playing PvP you'd never feel the need to "throw away" any class 6 plate.
>>502770525I hope it doesn’t suck. I guess I’ll be able to cope by loading in with an AK-74su and larp in the shoreline swamps.
>psycho sniper>3/5 kills>"lets get this shit done">choose scav
>>502780067this guy trips
>>502820627It will be an average experience, the game will run like complete dogshit, and everyone will stop talking about it in a week.
>>502756921>bought squad and it felt like a janky weightless messlook up non-ICO servers, they feel much better
>>502827963YEUP...I should've figured this would start the quest over
Pouring one out to what Tarkov could have been if cheaters hadn't found it "too hard :("https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LDQEqhZ0TQc
>doing Overseas Trust in PVE because I'm not mentally ill enough to do this shit in the real game and repeat it every wipe>only 5 Gluhar kills left>spot one of the guards outside white knight from dome>alright cool time to get some quest progress>spend the next 20 minutes slowly chipping away at all the guards>only big man himself left>can't find him>start throwing grenades to get a voiceline>nothing>get inside the building>gluhar is dead on the floor>check quest progress>10/15I guess he just fucking died of a heart attack or some shit.
>>502851394Diabetus got him.
>>502794449Literally how is this even possible, who the FUCK would make the equipment check client-side rather than server-side and how would the raid server know what's in your fucking stashJesus CHRIST BSG
>>502794449I wonder if this applies to keys too.
>>502857151I just tried it, doesn't work.
>>502847782pve is unironically the closest you will get to that experience and presumably SPT is even closer to itcheating in online video games with the express purpose to do RMT or otherwise ruin the experience for other *unwilling* players should unironically be punished by death in every country
>>502794449odd bug, seems to work solo but not in groups
>>502857909It doesn't work as a group leader or group invitee?
>>502857758Probably will be a semi-serious crime eventually (gaming is now the biggest of all media), but by then we'll be too old to game because the earliest it can happen is when Millennials are at the same age as Boomers
>>502858156Neither I or my friend could extract via mountain pass on LH while playing together last night, but I can do it just fine when alone.
>>502860578What a strange bug
>>502794449Oh dang
>>502645551>AR-15 styled VAL>>502645867You fucking bitches, the AM-17 and AMB-17 are both base on the MA compact rifle prototype created by Yevgeny Dragunov in the 70s.
broshere me out here..stalker 2 tarkov overhaul mod
>>502868645just play gamma
>>502869148no anon, think bigger. we could finally combine every tarkov map into an open world sandbox.
>>502872652yeah......just play gamma
>>502872778now you're just baiting
>>502869148Gamma is ass though
>inventory full of cool guns I want to use>can't play enough raids in the day to get through them all>constant backlogMan I'll never get to be one of those people that runs the same guns raid after raid. Can't remember the last time I've bought a gun from a trader. I keep saying I'll be more ballsy but then I get some decent loot in a raid and end up wanting to make it out.
I will not let TS8 and PS filter me this wipe
>>502886791Bro I could never even DREAM of making it that far. I've never unlocked those quests despite getting max traders each wipe. Only notable pvp quests I've completed are setup and punisher4.
>>502886742I tend to work on the basis of getting mastery with each gun.It gives a sense of finality with the weapon that allows me to put it on the shelf and use something else for a bit.
>>502887008thanks man. I didn't think I could either to be fair. You'll get there. It's like banging your head against a brick wall to break through it. It will break eventually. Or you will I guess
>>502886742stop insuring your shitter kits then
>>502892305Nah they're not shitter kits they're actually decent shit that I've looted off my kills or they're FiR. Like if I build my own guns I'd end up with something similar anyway so I don't want to sell them. Just don't know if I'd be better at the game if I consistently ran the same gun for muscle-memory sake (probably not, I'm bad)
>>502890984There's just so many fucking tasks in this game, I get tons completed but I still have a backlog of dumb easy ones so I never bring myself to just running the pvp slogs since there's so much other shit to do. Setup was pure aids and I can't imagine many other quests being that annoying, considering my particular dislike of shotguns in the current meta. Maybe next wipe you'll see me out there with a boltie trying to do TS3
>running in the pitch black night on shoreline>hear a scav voiceline>suddenly hear a grenade noise>cut to a different direction>explodesounds about right
>>502896714just run a holo sight on a gornostay and go crank eko into peoples skulls on factory
>>502896070>how do i sneak in my interracial fetish into my complaint?some people should have their internet access revoked for at least one full year
>>502886742Just grab the stuff from insurance, sell it and use the money to buy better shit?
>POV: You are a gambling manthis thing might as well be on 60 durability, I hesitate to take it for another raid
I heard a rumor that the SR3M is bugged and actually fires at ~700rpm not 900. Is that true?
>>502898028I really think VSS/VAL burn rate should be toned down significantly, they break in a single normal raid
>>502899270It'll end up dominating the meta if it's decreased too much.
do people really get killed by scav is that a thing, im fighting like 100 of them on streets on pve
>>502909692I dunno, the muzzle velocity is like throwing rocks at anything beyond ~40m, and (extremely expensive) 30 round mags being its absolute maximum is a huge downside. It's good in CQC but I think other options equal or eclipse it on balance, personally.
They should have made it so the results of the cultist circle are based on how many raids you do and how well you do in those raids.Or, better yet, Cultist circle rewards are better if you perform more aggressive actions as a PMC.
>kill tangine and 3 PMCs>tangine bugs out and can't be looted>swam of scavs prevent me from looting 2 of the PMCs.Fun.
Other guy saw BEAR in this area...
>buy standard edition>constant inventory tetris>try out SPT and decide to see how Incel Edition feelsIt's like a different game, secure container and inventory size makes such a big difference.
Hideout cat soon.
>>502928242imagine if they made this a microtransaction
>>502928538It's 100% coming in the Arena battlepass.
new factory sucks so much dick i miss old factory really bad
>>502929161Same, bro...>tfw Customs is next on the chopping block
>>502928608i hope they add shit like cat food and kitty litter and you have to take care of it. if you don't, it'll die and you have to buy another one
>>502929428Milk prices absolutely through the roof.
>>502929161What’s wrong with it?
>>502857909ah i thought he was pulling my chain cause it didn't work when my duo tried it
this looks kinda good
>>502937119got one of these bad boys from a cultist a few raids ago i didn't know they spawned with them
>>502937443yeah didnt even know there was lvl 4 mask out there
>>502937119>hideous chinesium dogshit>looks kinda good
>>502937532they're really good they've saved my life many times
I'd rather die wearing a momex than live wearing a CQCM/death shadow.
>>502937901thanks for the gear bro I sold it to fence
>>502937757>chinesium>costs more than your rentlmao
>>502938730>expensive = goodRoom temp IQ take.
>>502938858The CQCM irl has exactly the same IIIA armor rating as any other irl plate watch the videos where they shoot it if you don't believe me
I can't see shit. What are you guys' Post FX presets?
>>502939171>watch the videos where they shoot it if you don't believe mehttps://youtu.be/ecqS88lE5dY?si=Gt7EwahBZdAXQFnG&t=855
>>502938858and the irl ronin seems to stop buckshot and pistol calibers as wellhttps://youtu.be/Ozn03gsVA5s?si=zH9LzPk74FqcKpkz&t=528
>>502939451>this armor sucks because it won't tank a 12ga slug without deformationare you retarded or just autistic anon? no shit it doesn't completely stop something it's not rated for you absolute sperg
>>502939745retard
>>502939196I've got mine set up so the game doesn't look like a grey piece of shit but there's not really one right answer for postfx. It depends on your monitor and other settings. Just load an offline raid and go fuck around with the settings until you find what works for you.
>>502938730It still looks utterly retarded so who gives a shit how much it costs
Can someone post that lighthouse water treatment map that shows the rogue sightlines? I want to start clearing my lighthouse task backlog but I also don't like going at night, maybe I can bruteforce learning this piece of shit map during the daytime>t. BEARchad
>>502952310
>>502952549thx g
>>502952310Pestily’s lighthouse map video did a good job of showing each step. Starts at 30-40 minutes.
>>502929161>>502934973It's simply too dimly lit is the biggest problem
>>502938730Oh shit, a 100 dollar discount?
>>502938730Imagine the smell

>messing around with modding a mosin, no idea what I'm doing>trying to put a scope on it, take off everything else because I thought the basic sights are in the way or something>turns out I can't put on a scope because its not the sniper variant>oh well time to raid with it anyway>spawn in>see that my guy is aiming it in a fucked way to the side>realize I forgot to put the basic sights back on>naded by a scav because I literally can't aimThere's your bumpI have more retardation to share if the thread gets close to dying
>>502971541>more retardationWe're just happy there are still new players
>>502971541>>>turns out I can't put on a scope because its not the sniper variantYou have to replace the rear sight with pic related, newbro.
>>502971541pro gamer tip: your gun will always shoot center of screen regardless of iron sight fuckery.
>>502971541I think more people should post about the retarded shit they do or just post fun clips. Lots of generals spend too much time bitching or being fags.
>>502971541If you stick around long enough you'll eventually get a scav that starts with a nuggget like that
STALKER 2 wonwhy the fuck would they waste dev time on a generic pvp mode and not something akin to tarkov or at least a basic coop story mode
>>502982250Same reason devs slapped on a basic pvp mode into all those old 2000's era games, cod arenas are easier to make
>>502982250It has a PvP mode?
>>502982553Free update)))
>>502982553Not at launch, but they're working on it for a later update. "PVP", FFA and TDM.
Actually, ABI won.
Escope from Totkov
No, I won. I escaped from Tarkov.
My power is out. Tell me about your last raid
>>502985785I walked a while, shot a scav, then extracted with a few shitty things
>>502986026Survived. Still counts
>>502986332I beat the game.
>>502985785I sniped Glukhar and finally completed Overseas Trust in PVE. I am now fully dripped out.I can't decide if I should use Reitar or Zaslon pants with it
>>502989590>pve
Life is what u make it homie imma make it!!!
>>502991527>>502991825He asked about my last raid, and I answered.If we're talking strictly PVP, then I finally finished SBIH, sniped some dude doing Test Drive on the roof of east wing from admin.
>>502992350Post usec car
>>502992862
>>502991527>cries in the thread and doesnt post anything of valuetypical pvpigger
>>502938730>tfw need the extra large head size (30+ inch head)
>>502380481you know you could just look through the window into black and see all the theoretical ledx spawns, right?
>>502993531No i said usec not bear russians rape each other in the ass too much
>>502989590I'd like this chest piece more if it had gloves, even just on the left hand.
>>502985785I don't remember
BROS WE STILL HOLDIN?
dayum this just deflected a 7.62x54 BT round from kaban
>>503033919pic related
>stalker 2Played a couple hours of it, yeah it's pretty unoptimized but it's fun. I have a 3070 and 32gb of ram btw, the fps isn't as smooth as I would like and sometimes there are small studders. No bugs 2 hours in though, just poor performance. Crazy that tarkov actually looks better and runs better than stalker 2. Main gripe is the same complaint I have with all shooting games now, they feel like SHIT to play compared to tarkov. The gun sounds in stalker 2 are so quiet and I'm not using to playing a weightless character anymore. Just doesn't feel as cool. In tarkov even shooting a makarov feels nice, but other games the pistols are like peashooters. I even miss the sound of footsteps and interactions in tarkov, crazy how other games don't even get that right.
>>503041989For all of Tarkovs flaws the movement feels good and weighty (most of the time, ignoring the fucked jumping), the guns are satisfying to shoot, and the sounds are punchy. It's not perfect but it's a damn sight better than most games trying to do a similar vibe.
>>503042515Yeah...>creeping in reserve bunkers>run into a trio>open fire with my unsuppressed AK>95-round drum, never have to stop shooting>absolute hail of bullets from all sides>ears ringing>sparks everywhere>lights flickering because of nades>so fucking loud you can't tell who's who anymore>the silence when the gunfight is overNothing comes close, just feels like other games are afraid of really leaning into the raw energy of gunfire
i have never seen a ledx spawn at the dome
>>503047898I've never seen ledx spawn at usec camp either.
>>503048018I got two there at once one time.
>The game cannot be started. Please try again later
>>503047898trivia section on the wiki for quality standard states "The quest item location is a memento to a former LEDX Skin Transilluminator spawn location in the exact same place" and i'm inclined to believe that.
>6h for a technical updateWhat are they cooking really? Is this the christmas event?
