Only think that seems kinda shit to me, I've never played the game with it but I think characters being super clunky is kind of quintessential to tarkov to me. Back in the pre-inertia days were people just A+D'ing out in the open hoping they dodge around your bullets or some shit? Or just generally doing stupid looking movement tech to fly around levels like its CoD or something? I guess it'll be interesting to see during softcore, but I hope it doesn't stay for 1.0

arma does an excellent job of portraying large scale landscapes. realistic fields, bushes and small forests are literally the strength of the engine. if you zoom out the game looks like a sort of google map.
the weakness of the engine lies in details and buildings.

Alright I've got a few more for you
>trader progression should be changed so by max traders your 'usual' kit is maybe a modern assault rifle with a light and an optic. you should start off with milsurp and shitty guns and work your way up
>all bullet sponge bosses should be reworked. Killa and Tagilla should prefer to ambush players from corners at short ranges (Tagilla should only really use his hammer for breaching). Kaban should be mounted with his PKM in a position where it's a nightmare to get a shot on him without flushing him out with explosives.
>armour and helmets should have realistic levels of protection to correspond with a plate/vitals rework. This means that going for headshots would always be a pretty solid strat at close ranges, plates/full body armour would feel essential to protecting yourself from instant shots, and no more melting through level 5 plates with piddly SMG rounds. prices of helmets would be adjusted to compensate for their overall nerfs and helmet progression would focus more on ergonomics/comfort, lightness and ability to mount lights/NVGs (with a small exception for actual rifle round blocking stuff like SLAAP plates which would be lategame)
>grenade launchers should be more common. remove the instant fuse nades from the game as they're basically unobtainium IRL anyway due to being a dumbfuck idea, make the current HE ones half as common and add a bunch of smoke, flare and flash rounds for squad utility
>permanently ban all adderall huffing metafag streamers forever. Hyperrat, Trey, Desmond, etc. Glorious and WillerZ can stay because they're nice enough people who actually do use non-best gear from time to time but all poopsockers who have no personality and spend 12 hours a day streaming should be forced outside for their and the community's own good

Do you not?

Their builds range from completely awful with just an okay gun up to using Slicks or Zubralo/Thor armor, but their helmets are almost exclusively class 3-4 or they aren't wearing one at all.

>>
>>541796862
It's more common on some guns than on others (9x39 in particular), if your gun overheats you have to unjam it and let it cool down or it will keep overheating. Overheating also lowers durability.
>>
SPP any good? Low pen on tier 4 seems too shitty even with 68 damage.
>>
>>541797545
Does the AS Val actually Overheat easily? only 30 rounds per mag seems like it'd be hard to get it to do that consistently.

I just used it on Factory, got the jump on a healing Tagilla and absolutely steamrolled him before he could start shooting. Granted, I don't know how injured he was from our previous fuckabouts or any PMC AI and he didn't have his class 6 vest on, but a win is a win
>>
>>541798389
Ammo has hidden heat values, 9x39 rounds are notorious for making your gun overheat very quickly, combine that with the VAL being suppressed and you get a gun that overheats after like 2 mags.

Holy based takes. I miss plate hitboxes, every firefight felt intense since you could get instagibbed by anyone.
They would have to rebalance everything to make it work right though. Ammo, plates, armor availability, and a vital hatbox like you said, but BSG is too lazy to do all that.
Also, most helmets should be max level 3, even if it effectively makes them just cosmetic. lv3a helmets absorbing rifle rounds point black is retarded

>>
>>541852273
try picking a game that doesnt require nolifing you casual faggot

I'm really looking forward to 1.0, but my dream is that with release comes:

>remove flea, instead add lots more barters using junk items on traders
>basically every junk item should have a applicable barter at various trader levels
>ref should only sell cosmetic type gear for very cheap, basically you can spend 1-5gp coins for funny gear or barter gear+gp coins to get a re-skinned version of that same armor/weapon
>remove ability to send money between EFT/arena

I know it won't happen, but lots of other people have made the good point that a lot of terrible decisions have been made with EFT that basically let you avoid playing the game. The flea and ref are the biggest offenders, they let you basically grind doing the same exact thing endlessly for shittloads of cash/gear. They totally reduce the variability in your gameplay. The flea just turns all junk items into a ruble value, and ref means you don't even have to play raids anymore to level.

Bottom line is that the game needs to encourage players to actually do raids and risk their shit. The next key factor is that your character's kits/stash should be highly dependent on what you've found in your previous raids. The junk you find should translate into barters, not things you sell on flea to then buy exactly what you want from the flea. Of course buying gear from traders should continue, but that barters offered should be slightly better gear to encourage looking for certain items. Fuck, that's all I want. No flea, no ref.

not an AK. It's the TKPD Storm from Contract Wars, which is basically a SVDK that's been Bubba'd to have a chopped down barrel, a railed dust cover and a quadrail handguard. So yes, expect ANOTHER calibre in the game that's used for like 1-2 guns max. At best a couple of weird civilian guns (admittedly a double barrel rifle in a fuck-off cartridge like this would be fun as fuck to rock on a budget).

I'd have died probably 5 times over trying to do that, good work. I've only ever taken Reshala one time when his entire squad was just... out in the open between Fortress and another building towards Old Gas.
Best I can offer is a pic from the Labs raid I just finished. Hit Black, Orange, Red, Violet, and Yellow before dipping. Terrified of Raiders but I have to kill another 83 of them there.

I'm absolutely fucking terrified of Raiders. They range from completely brainless to turbo death lasers when you even look at them. No amount of SSA AP keeps them from shooting me first
>>541876942
Despite my only encounter with Reshala being a victory, I have 0 trust in my ability to defeat bosses regularly (other than when I'm properly prepared for Tagilla). 90% of my Gluhar kills are from sniping from Dome and just getting lucky that his entire sugar squad is wandering out in the open. Shturman I've only ever looted once because when I kill him I know I'm about to get pounded by 3 or so other snipers who will one/two-tap me. And don't even get me started on the luck it took to kill Killa my first time lmao

hate to break it to you, bud, but yeah, most players don't treat the game like a second job (or a first job, in the case of many sweats)
I know it's not a huge deal when you lose a few stacks of m80, but it's funny when I clap your little bumhole with buckshot or whatever other garbage ammo and get to run your kit for free

>>542037538
Wasn't it reverted almost instantly because of the people crying about armpit?

Within the same wipe it was added, iirc. Streamers and giga sweats were getting frustrated at getting armpitted by shitty ammo. Following that they added the throat hitbox to offset armor being a t-shirt but arguably it was even worse since all it did was make the head hitbox twice as large.
>>542037046
>implying you need to play the game like a second job to run more than dogshit ammo and hobo kits
People who act like you do never even run the kits they get. They leave them to rot in their stash while they put on another "budget" kit and get clapped 8/10 raids by someone running decent gear. Meanwhile that rare time where they rat some geared dude the guy goes back to his stash, puts on another kit, and then remembers to check whatever corner you were jacking your meat in next time. It's not a big deal to anyone but you.

My biggest complaint is the bots. Do "scavs" ruin tarkov as well? I'll be extra cautious when I hear footsteps only to hear find out its an NPC, or I'll get ambushed in solos because I'm getting swarmed by retarded "scavs"
I miss The Cycle frontier where at least the bots are a completely different entity easy to tell apart
>>
>>542039295
I heard through backchannels nikita was tracking every account that has ever logged onto PVE and come release day will permanently ban them for not experiencing tarkov the way it was meant to be played
>>
>>542054065
no because they scream out UPYR BLYATT but you still have to be cautious ,also the game has a ton of negatives so you WILL regret your purchase even if u enjoy the game in the end
>>
>>542052384
I’d say 70% of them are alright. We do have some less useful ones this wipe because the arena skills bug devastated some of them, the str/weight ones are even less useful due to the beta cuck event, and then there are the instakill/meme ones.
>>
>>542058237
I have no intention of getting the game until the steam release, but like Dark and Darker I assume its just a last ditch cash grab and will be quickly abandoned.
>>
>>542058824
I don't think it will. there will be DLC and people in a cycle of always returning (I just returned too) unless they fuck up royally again

its never going back and I think that's good. Its really nice to be able to kill someone, and then heal with their meds and use their gun.

>>542054065
Tarkov is better than ABI but ABI is cool for casual group play. Tarkov is far superior if you are solo or have a serious group. ABI is superior if you are a weekend casual gamer dad. Both are good.
>>
>>542079536
Gaming is my life, I heard Tarkov didnt have a solos mode, has that changed?
Are the scavs less annoying and PvP ruining than in ABI?
>>
>>542081530
I would say that the scavs are similar but the maps are better than ABI, so it doesn't actually interrupt pvp as often because the maps are designed better.

There is no solo mode for tarkov. In Tarkov Solos have advantage over groups. In ABI groups have advantage.

Tarkov has PVE which is you vs bots, who take the place of actual players.
You can join raids alone, YMMV.
>>

>Tarkov has PVE which is you vs bots, who take the place of actual players.
This sounds awful
>>542081801
>n Tarkov Solos have advantage over groups
How so?
>>
>>542083272
Groups in Tarkov require coordination due to no teammate indicators. You have to know where your teammates are at all time, an enemy's footsteps are often muffled by your own squad's, no reviving, friendly fire, etc.

>>
>>542087739
nta but lobbies generally don't start unless a certain player count is met. But I think the game can rarely bug out and put you in an empty lobby, this isn't normal though. I also don't really agree that solo play is easier than groups, that's really only the case when you're a good player against an uncoordinated team. It doesn't take much to beat a solo player as a group, literally all you have to do is have one of your teammates die then camp their body silently until the solo tries to loot it.

You can't learn the game by playing agaisnt sweats with 2k hours that know literally everything about the game.

Idk why you guys are like this for Tarkov. When it comes to fighting games like street fighter everyone agrees that a new player will learn nothing getting shit on by a grandmaster for example.

And server argument is shit since you get to choose what server to join and there's a bunch of types. But that's not the case for tarkov

Kinda new pvefag here. A friend of mine wanted to get the game when it releases on Steam, but he asked what additional content he should expect with the release. Basically, he's worried the only content is repeating the same quests every few months if he plays PvP which is the plopposite of fun or there being not enough guns or customization or maps in 1.0 to justify the purchase.

From Nigita himself:
https://www.forbes.com/sites/mikestubbs/2025/01/02/50-of-escape-from-tarkov-players-play-the-pve-mode-by-end-of-wipe/
>“At the start of a wipe, 15-20% of players choose PvE, and 80% go for PvP,” said Nikita. “However, as the wipe progresses, the player ratio becomes roughly 50/50%.”

So PvE and PvP fags are both dramatizing, basically there's 20% of the playerbase that never intended to play PvP in the first place and for the rest it's people who can't keep up and get left behind as wipes progress (family, job, friends...)

Nothing like cracking a single 7n40 through chad's helmet from range, definitely my favorite round next to ps12b. Fucking hilarious to see these duos where one guy is like lvl50+ gigaprestiged while his buddy is lvl15 but also thousands of hours. Clearly sweatlord convinced his old tarkov boyfriend to jump back on after skipping a few wipes, gives him a tons of gear, only for them both to get fucking dabbed on. And thanks to the weight changes I made it out across customs with every single ounce of their gear.
>>
>>542266857

If there's one thing they need to do with ammo boxes is remove all the 16 round 9x18 boxes, all the 8 round 9x39 boxes, just give every ammo box a multiple of a mag worth of ammo. Fuck 100 or 50 round boxes, how am I supposed to distribute this shit to my mags?
>>
>>542267286
Same, I think it'd be better if it was easier to unlock, but to craft and not to buy. I'm a sucker for AKs in general so I'm a bit biased, but the ak12 with 7n40 fucking slaps considering how cheap that gun normally is outside of hardcore wipe. Also, given the stats on 7n40 it could become a completely broken round if they add AKs with higher fire rate to the game. The -10 recoil is actually insane for a round with over 50dam and 40pen. It's got a really unique stat distribution, there isn't any other round like it.
>>
>>542268938
Something fucked with the game since forever but nobody ever cared to change it is barrier penetration. Penetrating ammo seems to only matter with body armour and everything else is bulletproof, even stuff you could shoot through like car bodies, wooden doors, fucking anything really.

SPT just allows you to turn pve tarkov into an actual singleplayer experience. no, I don't need to wait literal hours for a hideout upgrade, insurance, or a cultist circle. if I want to use a hammer and an uncracked phone to make a cracked phone, I will mod it so it takes 5 seconds instead of 50 minutes.
also all the content/visual mods help liven things up, as well as the mods to make the bots more challenging and actually do shit like their own quests and looting.
you're never going to get the blood rushing cat and mouse of pvp, but it can be its own fun (and miles ahead of pve)
>>
>>542244980
Yeah just downloading the bot mods like questing bots, looting bots, SAIN, makes it so much better. Only downside is the performance, mines been bad lately
>>
>>542275809
The absolute funniest shit is the timmies who don't really know what's going on and go into raid with their SP ammo or some other dogshit. Poor souls are at such a knowledge disadvantage right now. That said it would still be incredibly easy for noobs to make money right now provided they understand how softcore works. Literally all you need to do is sell all your high tier ammo on the flea and commit to a good semi-auto caliber like 7.62x51 or 7.62x54. Plan on sniping people while only taking like 30 good rounds into raid, you can def come out with tons of money for very little input.
>>
So is the wipe softcore now or is it two separate things? Haven't been able to play
>>
>>542280574
It's still the same wipe but the game is on baby difficulty now, very likely going to stay like this until 1.0, they'll probably dump some usual prewipe events on top of that.

the games will never be the killer, the malaise after 1.0 when everyone realizes it's effectively exactly the same with maybe 10 more quests and it's still beholden to wipes will kill it. A game so deprived of content trying to maximize minimal labor like Tarkov can't hold up to any kind of actual release expectation.

How about for, for example, Ragman's retarded "kill people with backpacks" quest, you instead spawn 2-3 special scavs with big backpacks and tons of spawns for silly utility items and he gives you some extracts to expect them trying to escape through and where their routes start.
Now if they get stolen, you can go again, but they are full of potential valuables.

I think most minefields hit you twice, some are instagib, like lexos, gz and lighthouse. Some of them are clearly marked, some are poorly marked, and others just aren't.
I'm sure you've never walked into a mine/sniper scav or looked at a map online. You'd stop mid shooting or running away to look at the little signs.
We have thousands of hours in the game, retard. Of course, we know where the nono shit is. A new player is 100% going to get clapped by that, and I like it.

It's just a issue with poopsockers, you see when you dump thousands of hours into a game eventually you kind of "solve it". You know every quest, every map by heart, all the guns, loot spots, loot value, you know all the little tricks like jiggle peeking and what not.
So the game doesn't feel as hard anymore, and instead of accepting the only challenge will really be in pvp they want more "hardcore" stuff added for them.
I swear streamers and poopsockers on this game ruin the community, but mostly because BSG caters to them
>>
>>542392817
Streamers and poopsockers fucking hated the hardcore changes, retard.
>>
>>542393717
Doesn't matter, it was made for them. And what do they call the softcore stuff? Easy baby mode.
Fact is you can't make the game harder without making it tedious and unfun because the game is already hard. But poopsockers and streamers just can't understand that you get to a point where you solve a game and the difficulty goes down.
Like how do you even make Tarkov harder as it is now other than kneecapping progression(just makes things take longer for poopsockers but fucks over normal players), or unfun quests and shit.
>>
>>542392689

Maybe if the game had more to it than "go place, touch thing" and it was built around you not managing to succeed much and have to do it 40 times, then progression could make sense but as is it doesn't.
>>

>>
Softcore has been an interesting experiment. I actually think they should keep some of the weight/inertia changes. By that I mean that the base inertia of the game should be unchanged, but the ergo/inertia/weight penalties as you got heavier were too severe. It's better for looting in general to allow players to carry more shit, and it's extremely good for solo players to allow them to take more gear out of raid if they manage to win against a squad. The hit to stamina recovery while weighed down shouldn't be so severe either. In 1.0 I think they should use what they learned from softcore and keep these inertia/weight changes but maybe dial them back by like 25%.

because its not really harder. there is just less skill expression so they get rewarded more for their ratting slowmo playstyle.

yes. if you slow progression i.e. via flea lock chads will use worse gear for longer.
either way in a progression based game chad will ALWAYS be ahead so retards and shitters really need to just stfu and accept the reality of it or play pve or squad or some other casual dogshit game that works better for them.

Anon you have that particular type of retardation where you think that these things affect you, but don't affect le ratting casuls.

Tarkov is the casual dogshit game.
>>
>>542431757
the point is they work in favour of the rat.
>visibility
not a concern when you sat in a dark corner or bush and see the other guy first
>sound
you directly benefit from it, the more OP it is the better you can preaim the moving player
>aimpunch
you directly benefit from it as a shit player, since random aimpunch can shift fights in your favour for absolutely no reason
>inertia
the rat directly benefits from this. the clunkier and slower the moving enemy, the easier he is to rat.
>>
>ratting
It doesn't matter how much moving is encouraged or how much chad playstyles are favored, you will ALWAYS have like 50% of your raid playing slowly or straight up camping angles. Tarkov's core game mechanics mean that people are gonna be afraid to lose their shit. They're willing to just idle for 30 minutes in a corner for the chance at getting a free kit. That's just human nature, and even games like CoD that have the craziest movement possible have campers. It just hurts a billion times more in tarkov when you die, so camping is always some big contentious issue in the game. Fact is that it's always going to be a significant part of the game, unless you remove core philosophies like taking gear off dead people or 1-shot kills on heads.
>>
>>542432250
>visibility not a concern when you sat in a dark corner or bush
How so? Poor visibility still impacts you ability to hit even when ratting, and rat needs good visibility of his target badly because if he can't sucker punch then he's 100% dead.

>you directly benefit from it
Anon you make noise even checking your mags and turning around. The only one unilaterally benefiting is the mythical statuecore camper who takes a spot, detaches his m&kb from the PC and sits there with a seperate specialized controlled that is just one big red button that magdumps. Otherwise it makes slow and passive more detectable just as it helps active players.

>you directly benefit from it as a shit player
Anon you have an extreme variation of that particular type of retardation where you think that these things affect you, but don't affect others. A shit player is more likely to take shots first, get aimpunch first and fail to land any shots and pt any aimpuch on his opposition due to being aimpunched himself.

>the rat directly benefits from this
The rat itself becomes much more vulnerable on the way to the camping spot.

Some legit brain damage here.

Is performance just shit now? Swear it used to run better
>>
>>542432826
I think it's less gear fear, and more the two other factors.
1. Ambusher always has a massive advantage at both surviving and killing, which are the only things that matter in Tarkov. Gameplay objective variety could help, as it does help numerous other FPS games.
2. Even worse than gear loss, death means immediately going through several load screens, to your stash, to go through re-gearing, to get into another queue, to start another raid. Dying in punished by a long and fucking tedious downtime period. It makes death much more emotionally unpleasant, which in turn pushes most players to minimize risks.
>>
>>542435048
I think "gear fear" is exactly the combination of things you listed. For most people it's not a matter of being "afraid" is it is a mindset of:
>if I push this guy and die then the last 30 minutes of prep/raid have been a total loss and considering I only have like 2 hours to play today then I'm better off not dying

Pve ones be shit too, like
>Kill 20 scavs at THIS location
Like the one to kill scavs at the gas station on customs, they NEVER come when I do it. Or I'll kill one and even though it's at the gas station it wasn't close enough for the games liking
>>
>>542441071
Yeah I agree, basically all the pvp tasks are too prescriptive.

>setup
should be pmc kills on customs with any shotgun, no other gear requirement
>punisher
pmc kills on lighthouse, no other requirement
>test drive
any kills, not just pmcs
>any pvp task that asks you to kill players in a specific area of the map
should be any kills, not just pmcs

The "lore" of these tasks can justify asking you to kill on a certain map or with a certain CLASS of firearm at best, the other requirements often don't make sense. Like for setup, skier wants you to kill pmcs dressed as a scav to rile up some kind of faction war. But why would it matter what you look like if you're fucking killing the guy? The implication is that the people who find the dead pmc bodies will see they've been killed by a shotgun, meaning it was likely a scav because pmcs are usually using ARs. So the requirement should be to just kill with shotguns.
>>
>>542441916
I think setup would be fine if it was on factory, so it's just pvp right there. Hated doing set up, rushing dorms, and no one shows up.
>>
>>542441071
>>542441916
This is so simple to fix, but bsg is too stupid and/or incompetent.
You can only have one of the following: a specific map/spot, target, or gear, no more than one at a time. Maybe two criteria, if they want a class of firearm or something open ended, like you mentioned.
There, I’ve fixed every single pvp task in the game from a gameplay perspective. I don’t really care about the lore, they can work around it.

I really think that the tedium aspect of tarkov is core to nikita's philosophy to a degree. I think it's a russian cultural thing, like in the russian mind the concept of something being difficult can include concepts like suffering, tedium, frustration, and pointlessness. If you've read any russian literature there's usually aspects of the plot that just fucking suck for the characters and it's understood that in a lot of ways the world just sucks and is a bad place. It's not the type of sucking that makes you a better person for overcoming it either, it's just the background suckage that comes with life. This philosophy may influence tarkov to a degree, maybe in some ways nikita wants some aspects to be shitty and frustrating for the sake of it.

it's definitely pushing me to want to upgrade my rig. it's only like 4 years old, but man not being able to get 60fps at the lowest settings is such a drag.

the funny part is that the later test drives allow you to kill any target. Why? Other than Nikita being retarded it seems they realized that nobody wants to try and pvp with this shit on terrible mismatched maps (5.45 on a map where everyone snipes and takes potshots at long ranges) against metaniggers and squads, but somehow that only applies to TD 4, 5 and 6.
>>
>>542441916
>any pvp task that asks you to kill players in a specific area of the map
Problem is even if you made it any target, there are several places that have no/nearly no scav spawns, like the lighthouse area on Lighthouse for Lightkeeper
I don't think specific area kill quests should be a thing unless they're guaranteed high-traffic areas, they're just frustrating wastes of time otherwise
>>
>>542453547
Imo no other extraction shooter has the setting does, like the maps and just setting in general has soul. Like man even just the music on the title screen just is such a unique feel

>erm I should be able to run meta gear on any map I want and still get Kappa
Test Drive 2/3 are tedium I'll agree but anyone still complaining about Setup after it's been neutered and pushed to so early in the game where the majority of players are running T3 armour with no helmet half the time needs to unironically git gud
>>
>>542461995
not asking for meta gear, having to still use shotguns on setup is hardly changing the task at all. It just removes the requirement to wear the stupid fucking hat/vest and use whatever shotgun I want. I just want some flexibility in what we can use, I hate having tons of gear in my stash and yet being forced to wear some specific getup that costs a ton of money because everyone on the flea is gouging you on those specific items. If we're supposed to look like a scav then skier should let you wear a massive variety of gear to get the job done
>>
tarkov shit, bf6 shit and cant refund (-70€), only cs2 left
>>
>>542462817
you're only really missing out on using like the saiga-12 and benelli m3 as far as early game guns go by having it restricted to the baikal shotguns. and toz too i guess but nobody cares about the toz.
ushankas spawn like every 1/3 scavs, it's not too big of a deal to pick up a few a day or two before you unlock setup, save a couple for sew it good if you really want and go to town

What if you don't play at the beginning of the wipe?
>>
>>542465648
Well, you see, this so called "early wipe" is just a made up thing. You just want to casualize the game. Besides, you should have played from the start. Even then, you had 3 months to get kappa, that's plenty of time. You're shit at the game if you couldn't get it in that time frame. Also, you don't need to do the tasks anyway.
Did I forget any cope?

true.. it's gotten better recently at least. and it's still top of it's class unfortunately.

Tarkov should add female PMCs and Scavs so we can get ryona and hear their dying gasps/groans
>>
>>542490059
also rape
>>
>>542493532
Yeah could be a hideout add on where you can lockup PMCs or Scavs, maybe even sell them to fence for a hefty profit

look, battlefield 6 is suffering from TOS (tarkov optics syndrome).
>>
>>542500574
All optics suck ass in bf6. The variable zoom literally zooms in your entire screen instead of just the scope. Whole game feels kind of sloppy and lazy when you look past the surface. It lacks polish and attention to detail.

I wouldn't be hypermalding this bad if it wasn't for the fact that STALKER Gamma does the exact same shit except there it's even worse since they lock all of the install files behind the discord server, so if you want to install without getting your ID jacked by russian underpaid hackdrones you have to find some fucking dudes youtube video where he walks through the installation and get the links from him.

It's not about gear, it's about the flow of the map
Everyone just hold their spawn in lighthouse to get their tasks done, it's shit to play no matter what you wear

I dont like it either but the gun is nearly unplayable without it
Which is fairly annoying when I know I can build a meta recoil m4 with 60 rounders at 800rpm and still have more ergo

Not too long before the discord hack I've seen some guy unironically advocating for giving your ID to BSG to combat cheaters. Fucking retards.

>fast target acquisition in a game where you play as a one eyed pmc
utter meme, but also yeah the optic is dogshit
we need to standardize making your sight housing transparent in games to compensate for always playing as a noguns retard that shoots with one eye closed
>>
>>542524371
....anon leaving both eyes open is terrible when you're intentionally using an optic.
>>
>>542528146
nobody in a war zone will be shooting with one eye closed
if anything that should be the definite trade-off between using optics like the vudu, razor etc and a regular old holo, even irons and such

So why can't BSG just add mods to pve so people can just customize however they want? Then people would want to use PVE over SPT and it'd give the game a lot more life
