>>542857331Come on bros say something...
>>542860640There's not much to say man, looks like a meme game that'll be forgotten within a month.
>>542860640>cute ducks>cutting edge graphics>single player only, no mods needed>no niggerikitaTarkov never stood a chance.Where is everybody? Waiting for 1.0? :o
>>542861505>Waiting for 1.0?Yeah, pretty much. I'll probably hop on Arena next week when they add the battlepass, but I don't really have anything to do before 1.0.
>>542861660You can play the Next Big Thing™ tomorrow: Arc Raiders!
>>542862769No thanks bro, I'm busy replaying GTA IV and playing some Tekken on the side when I feel like.
>>542862769Arc niggers comes out tomorrow? Dang, completely forgot about it.
>>5428628853-days Open test, the game releases the 30th.
>>542864543>open testBooo. Boooooooo. Booooooooooooooo.
>>542865595I mean at least you can test the game without being constrained by the 2 hours window graciously offered by Gayben if you want to refund.
>>542861505We don't badmouth Nikita Buyanov, Russia's Hideo Kojima (genius game designer), in this thread.
>>542879079Russia's Kojimbo is the now retired theatre guy and certified cunny enjoyer extraordinaire behind Pathalogic.
>>542861505yeah, waiting for 1.0this next month is going to be painful man. I just want it in my hands already. I want main quests. I want in-raid traders. I want cutscenes. I want no more wipes. I want an expanded, slower progression. I want my M16A2. I want my G3A3. I want my SVD. I want my Surefire MP5. I want my DSA RPD. I want my LVAW MCX. FUCKI literally have dreams about this game pretty much every single week. The last one I can remember is them doing ANOTHER short wipe, with like gigabuffed loot and bosses and I was hunting Kaban on Streets but the layout was all wrong. I killed a three man busy looting filing cabinets. You could physically see them in the cabinets searching shit. It always feels so real. I also dream a lot about Tarkov becoming 'real' and me and a bunch of old friends are involved and I tear shit up for them. It makes me wish the game had COVID levels of popularity again without any of the catering to the twitchfags/their orbiters shit that BSG pulls off around those times so everyone could be happy in the jankfest slav CBT simulator experience again
>>542881258I'm 70% on the 1.0 update being few new guns and a couple of quests and 30% copemaxxing on it being a massive game changing experience.
>>542880789This does sound like Kojimbo, but Nigita also has some of his traits
>>542862769signing up right now
>log in to do a few games with a friend>I get beamed by killa>he get beamed by a cheateryeah stamp my ticket for arc raiders I guess
>>542857331I boughted.Will report back if it's kino.
So I've been playing Arena to scrape off some of the rust before 1.0 since I haven't played in a while and I think I actually prefer ironsights over red dots, at least the open notch ones. Hell I've been running completely stock guns and doing just fine considering all the turbo sweats that play Arena.The housing of red dots just takes up way too much screen and scopes tank my fps anyway.How much money would I save if I just got good with stock weapons in the base game?
>>542881258>I want no more wipes.Nikita said PvP was likely going to wipe even after 1.0 every 3-5 months.
A few things>Sniper Scav has such a wonderful view over SawmillBased>My cultist circle gave me 2 Goon chestrigs (one for Drip Out, one for Special Offer), and a Virtex for Special Equipment all in one go>Managed to finish Consolation Prize without dying>a random PMC had multiple of my Collector Items in its backpack so now I only need like 3 more items I'll never findEverything has been really nice
Has Mr. Nigita Buy-anon mentioned anything about future Linux support? I remember there was a possibility for linux version but that's that.
>>542908096>Consolation Prizeso is it worth the effort?
>>542904716He also said there would be separate playlists with wipe and with no wipe, we'll see.
>reshala just stands there>kill him with a headshot>move around the dorm>some ai scav is walking>shoot him but apparently my bullets disappear and he turns instantly and domes mewhy can't this piece of shit scamware be consistent
New BP start date?
>>542899209After a couple of hours: surprisingly not terrible and actually polished in spite of what seems like a stock mobile UI. You win this time, chinks.
>>542919192On the 22nd.
>>5429167431.0 will fix it
>>5429196211.0 is poised to be one of the worst letdowns on the tier of Seven Days to Die
What are the chances the campaign won't really be a campaign and just a string of single player tasks where you just go into raids with NPCs you have to kill
>>542923407they might have... cinematic cutscenes between missions. but i wouldn't hold my breath.
>>542924064Oh boy
>>542923407That's literally all it can be, anon.
Why the fuck ABI looks so fucking grainy? holy shit
>>542949094Youtubers told me it's gonna be a epic cinematic campaign though like the show
>>542951758How's the gameplay? How do the mechanics compare to Tarkov, such as skills, quests, guns etc. I'm considering giving it a try since I'm almost at Kappa anyway.
>>542899209Bro, it was a fucking joke. You weren't supposed to redeem it for real retard
>>542956329Nta, but I found the elements I personally like about tarkov missing, like the gun autism, and because it was so similar down to the keybinds, it sort of felt like Tarkov from Temu. There didn't seem to be any hackers though, which was nice. Also, no Nikita
>>542962404better they get the money than niggkita
>>542962605Hm, I think I'll install it and give it a go then. I do like the gun autism, so I may miss that, but if the gameplay can hold it up I might not mind really. It's that or spend the next few days trying to kill Shturman 15 more times to unlock my favorite gun.
>>542962894Nigga, it's free.
i can taste it
>whole night of raiding with someone>die almost every single raid while he got out of all but one stacked>mfw he made bank and i'm now using bankrupt kitsi walked so he could run...
>>542962404But I'm having fun. Is it fake fun?
>arc>3rd personautomatically trash. literally every 3rd person game automatically becomes a corner peeking prefiring simulator. how is this shit not dead yet? fucking casual retards buying these shitty 3rd person games
>>542979631It has long TTK so it doesn't matter as much, only a problem in something like PUBG, milshit like ArmA etc.
>>542979990thats cope. the one peeking and prefiring has a 150ms advantage and is locked on.the one out moving is always gonna be fucked. not to mention he can keep repeeking if he choses too.it also simply dictates how the game is played. which is, everyone hiding behind a wall waiting for you to move first.it can never be good.
ummmm shartraidersissies... I thought we were going to kill Tarkov...
>>542987616>>542979631
>>542987616No, no, no, NOOOOOO... This was supposed to be THE Tarkov killer... Tarkov was finally supposed to die, FUCK.
>>542987616Just wait until this weekend it will do 200k+ players (screencap this)
>>542987616BRUTAL MOGGING
>>542987616>>542988678I wonder what we're going to see here next month.
>>542989171I wouldn't be surprised if it ended up hitting around 50-100k on Steam, I know there's a few poopsockers who'll pay the extra fee + a bunch of normalfags who won't touch anything not on Steam
>>542989171Shit numbers probably (maybe worse than Arc Raiders) since everyone who already bought the game won't be playing it on Steam except for retards double dipping.>>542988678wtf who's buying this?
>>542989348go back to world of warcraft you fucking oldfag.
>>542857331Real question: how do all those people who let their pet birds leave their cage prevent them from flying away and also shitting everywhere?
tick tock uncles, the future is here...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k3oWbSqk5WY
>>542990804>/eftg/'s brightest minds can't answer this simple question
>>542990804They clip one of their wings sometimeAlso birds are pretty smart and tend to create social bondsThe big problem is that some can live a long time, like up to 50 years, pretty big commitment for a pet owner
Right, SPT runs pretty fine on Linux. SPT 4.0.0 has even a native linux server. Only the client needs to be run through a compatibility layer.
I don't get this dumb game I'm two-tapping someone in the chest or side with m80 with a sr-25 and they're not dyingI can literally see a cloud of red mist erupting from the exit wound and they're standing there returning fire.Nigga you don't have organs!!!
>>543006791>They clip one of their wings sometimeIs this the dog shock collar version of owning a bird?
>>543015421It's not painful and the feather grow backBut yeah, I guess you could see it that way
>>543015421Not really, you can clip them to prevent long flight but they can still glide and flap around easily enough, it's not painful for them and they grow back in time.I guess it's a little sad but it prevents some exotic parrot escaping and getting OHKO'd by minorly cold weather.
I have no idea how people are able to tell where they’re getting shot from or are able to spot people shooting at them and I keep dying because of it and it’s starting to irk me bros
>>543020652Up your gamma (and up your contrast a tiny bit to stop it from looking gray and unsaturated) if you haven't, the lighting is fucked and this is pretty much mandatory to play even during daytime and especially indoors.If you're having a hard time hearing where shots are coming from whether they are at you or around you, you should try moving your mouse left and right while the sound plays, because of how stereo audio works it'll help pinpoint the direction.
>/eftg/ - Chinese indie games and birdkeeping
>>543020652Most the time when I played retail, I always died to some bushwacker and it is more than irritating to die to someone I can't even see. Regardless of the map.That being said even when playing PvE or SPT it's actually really hard to tell from where the shots are coming from. Audio is still strange and I swear to god sometimes bullets seem to go through walls (or at least their sound data) and this makes you hear the bullet whizzing by sound among other things.
Did my very first raid as a level nothing Timmy, queuing a team was taking too long so went in solo. Spawned at coffeeshop, rotated outside thru emercom and grabbed meds for therapist quest, killed some scavs and rotated to the scientist key and grabbed the HD, then killed some more scavs and snuck outside to the car extract and took it. Seems like all the PMC action was down at Nakatani, heard some gunfights thru the raid but only dealt with scavs. First 3 quests down, 6 scav kills, how'd I do for first raid ever?
>>542988221It's at 180k and it's not even Friday night yet
>>543031005It's 9pm in the country of Molière.
>Raid time: 00:00:04>Tagilla>KIA
>>543020652It mostly comes with gamesense, you kinda have to think>where can I be seen from?>where would I be shooting from if I saw someone at my current position?The other day I was crossing the river on Customs from Big Red to RUAF, I started getting shot. I knew the shots were coming from Big Red side of the river, so I figured the guy must be somewhere around the bridge, I made it to the other side and repositioned to one of the new buildings next to the pocket watch to look for him. Lo and behold, after a few minutes of looking I found him near the little hut next to the bridge and killed him.
>>543030764Doesn't matter because you could spend the next 10+ raids dying almost instantly.
>>543030764>""""""""""""""""""""""very first raid""""""""""""""""""""">"emercom">"Nakatani">found the key>found the car extract >also took money for it*yaaaawn*
>>543030764Oh and you also forgot that despite the description, encountering PMC corpses on the parking lot is not an optional trigger for turning the quest in.
>>543038220They fixed that, you just need the hard drive now. You don't even need the key.
What will be the next step of his master plan?
>>542857331>200k copies sold in a daygaming has fallen...>>543042436He will hike up the prices of the cheats BSG sells by 100%
I wonder if console Tarkov will have crossplay...
I fucking got killed by the BTR driver on Streets because the sound is so bad. Massive diesel motor sounds like it's 1 km away etc. Had gpu and other stuff. I want to kill someone.
>>543045523how did he kill you?
>>543046191I was looting a corpse and it was raining and heard the BTR thought it was pretty far away and got squashed like a bug.
>>543046608you know, i was gonna test if he could run me over today, and now I know. consider your sacrifice not in vain, anon. oh and>had a GPU>it wasn't up his ass
>brand new face shield>walk into factory>a piece of shit, fully blocked pellet hits>massive spidercrack in the middle so I can't see shit>3 damageMAYBE, just MAYBE faceshields should crack more at low durability and less at high? i'm not asking for no obstruction but this is fucking ridiculous.
>>542857331shit is fun, played for 5 hours straight this evening
>>543047038I felt like winning!
>>543047767Had something similar happen earlier against Tagilla, he broke mine with a Dual Sabot and it only took 4 damageI wish they'd have smaller cracks for lower damage that get bigger with more damage rather than needing to spend another 400 because 1 shot hit me>>543049015I'm sorry to hear that, what else did you find? I dont really go to Streets much
>>543045523sound occlusion is really fucky with the BTRI was inside pinewood, BTR was right outside and I couldn't hear a thing 5m away from it
>>543032113I wish I was recording when it happened, but I rounded a corner and tagilla did a running sprint jump into me while blasting me. it was a pretty cool way to die
>>543056198>sprint jumphad me til you lied
>>543056849it was pve with modded AI so that's probably the discrepancy
Arc raiders is really ass. I don't like the 3rd person camera, movement, or the pve.I was surprised when I saw it's a $40 game, thought it would be f2p.
>>543037417I did bring money for it but then found like 70k rubles on the first spawn body I lootedThank you for encouraging a new player! What a great game with a great community ready for 1.0
>>543042436>>543037417Nobody plays this game without the wiki open dude
>>543042436It would actually be rad if they just kicked cheaters into cheater lobbies, pretty sure one of the Dark Souls games did this. Literally solves the problem and levels the playing field for cheaters, I see no downside
>spray at dude's upper chest with level 5 penetrating ammo>he just ducks under my spray and one shots me in the jawi got dunked on so hard it was actually funny
>>543061298You did amazing for a first raid. Things to remember>always turn in quests and items first>double check gear>surviving is better than killing
THE GUIDE FIRST TRY LETS GOOO! >insomnia - 15/25>sanitars office in lab>extract from the lab - New Beginningsbros..it's happening

>weekly gives a level in a shitty skill>want it because leveling said skill is double shitty>don't want to do the weekly because it involves labs
>>543078032What, is it just killing some raiders?
>>543080197I have to exit through the Parking Gate 15 times. I've gone 4 times and I think the button is glitched, it never works.
>go to Lighthouse a couple times>no sign of Partizan>haven't seen The Goons>actually having fun killing PMCs, sniping a few Rogues, and just roaming the ChaletsI brought like 4 stacks of SSA AP just in case but I've been burning it on PMC Ai and Scavs lmao
>>543086527what makes a man unironically go to Lighthouse
>>543087395Assessment Part 1
duckov won
Is 7.62x51 any good for sniping? I hate bolt actions and the SVD is aids but I want to use big and good bullets but 5.56x45 and 5.45x39 are terrible.
>>543092572I heavily recommend this bitch, slap 'er full of BCP or TCW and you're off to the races. Good damage, fairly good accuracy, and takes some good scopes. Not the most reliable gun imaginable, but it hasn't done me wrong yet.RSASS is another good one.
>>543094091>>543092572The really long one felt like a fluke, but it's worth showing how it goes. I had to evac early because I'm pretty sure I encountered the goons and just barely made it out>going back down the road>voices but i can't tell what voice lines>suddenly my leg is gone>have a heavy bleed>rest of my body is yellow at best>barely get a Propital jammed in me>run off>repair leg in one of those little seaside boat houses>run off>never see them again
>>543092572>>543094091I happen to love the SR-25. It's cheaper, decent enough ergo w/ suppressor. I remember someone posting on here that to use the SVD as a shotgun or beefier SKS and to customize accordingly. It's since been redeemed in my eyes
>>543097320>Suppressor why?
>>543097320It's funny you mention the SR-25, I just yoinked this off of a Rogue last raid
>>543094091>gear fear in PVE
>>543092572>Is 7.62x51 any good for sniping?Yes, very. Not as accurate as bolt actions but still pretty good.
>>543100278that all looks expensive to me
>>543100631>RFB>BCP FMJ>expensive
>>543100523amazing shot, I can't even see the guy
>>543100726Yeah the nerfed scopes make it a bit tricky to snipe now, it was so much better when they had higher zoom a few months ago. The 1-8x scope is pretty shit now, used to be one of my favorites.
>7 months agolollmao even
>>543100278Always, but there's also a nice benefit to the BCP/TCW. The other day I ended up in a fight with Partizan and shot him right in the head from a decent range with an M80 round. He survived and proceeded to blast my head from my shoulders, which means my bullet likely dropped 1-2 damage from the range it was at, enough to fuck up the whole experience. BCP/TCW have 83 and 85 damage respectively, so there's a bit of room. M80 also costs a little much per bullet, and I can't buy M62 or better. On top of that, Rogues seem to rarely wear helmets, Scavs are almost always unarmored for the most part (TCW pens the first 3 tiers easy anyway), so it all kinda plays into itself. >>543100906>>543100523god DAMN >>543097320Decided to take it with me, SR-25 feels smooth as silk
>>543102897>M80 also costs a little much per bullet>$4 per bullet>little much
>>543103862Bullet cost is nothing if you make every bullet count
>>543104157That assumes too many things
>>543103862It's a lot to pay for bullets that do the job just about as well as the bullets I'm already using at like 200 rubles each. BCP is kinda based. I'd craft m61 but the damage is lower than I'd like, and M80A1/M993 are loot-only so despite having nearly an entire ammo box full of them, I don't want to use them.
>>543110883uuuuugh
>>543110883lame
>>543110883Bosses should be removed unironically.
>>543111978Keep bosses but>reduce health to normal levels because no one should survive a headshot>improve tactics or provide more protection in the form of guards/scavs>improve ammo they have access to>increase their non-weapon loot qualityBosses should just be tough or well-equipped Scavs/Rogues/Soldiers and not some hyper godly being who tanks 2 bullets to the head because they have 3x head health. Oh and make Cultists a 100% spawn on all maps at night.
>>543110883LMAO
>>543113324>balance updates?? how dare they!

Honest thoughts on Peanut?

>>543110883I'm starting to worry that Nikita will fuck up 1.0 bros...
>>543114819Trust the plan.
>>543113760>we have no idea how to "balance" bosses so we're just going to make their gear shit until I personally think it's been long enoughwhat the fuck do you think a balance update is? A balance update would be nerfing their gear and leaving it to see how it plays out, if it's worth it, etc. This is just hedging his bets because making something that is even the facsimile of finished is too hard.
>didn't know that bosses can spawn on GZ too>yet again, looted a gpu>die to Kollontay
>>543120579Kollontay doesn't spawn on GZ this wipe, thoughbeit.

>>543110883>>543113324>>543114002Nikita getting cooked to precise
>>542956329the game looks better and the QoL is great, you can save presets and you just need to click once to have every ready for the next match. The gunplay is very good, but not as good as tarkov. Weapon smithing is very basic compared to tarkov. I would say arena breakout is the better game cinsidering it's free, but Unreal is shit and the game crashes all the time.

>>543198083Does he know?
>>543058969That what happens when developers think that they can take a game genre that is inherently hardcore and change it to fit the taste of casual players.How does it even make sense that a game that should be all about high stakes gameplay, players can sit behind a wall and scout the entire area with their cameras to check if things are safe before moving on?Not to mention that third person camera completely dumbs down combat, because once each player is behind a wall there's no realistic way to go on the offence as you will get pre-fired in the head the second you leave cover to attack, so the only realistic move is for each player to retreat.Another problem with the devs catering to casual players is that the game won't have full wipes so the gamer dads with three wives and five children would have a mental breakdown for having to start all over. Instead, the devs are using an equivalent to the Prestige system in Tarkov to encourage players to reset their accounts, but that comes with some major drawbacks when players start using alt accounts or carry services to boost their new characters at the beginning of each new season.Loot is another major disappointment in the game because of how generic it feels. You basically just go around finding some occasional high value loot while dismantling everything else for basic materials, so the game will never feel like a slot machine like in Tarkov, where you can open a dufflebag and find some LEDX which is not only valuable but it's directly tied to your PMC progression, so it feels like winning a jackpot when you find one.It Tarkov has the highest "highs" and the lowest "lows", Arc Raiders will have the "middest middles" since it's such a bland extraction shooter

>>543225796If you don't have the Lightkeeper achievement you might as well try to unlock him and only prestige right before 1.0.>>What do you save for prestige 1?Basically all you've listed, the Uber Eats order for Jaeger is also not a bad idea so you don't waste time looking for canned food, I think you can also put ammo in the 60 rounders and it carries over. I wouldn't bother with samples this late, tho.
>>543226018yea that's probably the best bet. I'll go for the achievement. I got cucked on that bugged flashdrive quest last time I tried. Is that still a thing?
>>543227342yes
Thoughts on this brutal mogging?
>>543238076do i care about this?
>>543238076Who is mogging who here?
>>543238076let's check on them in 1-2 months
>working towards Lightkeeper>this fag wants me to go to WOODS of all placesFucking WHY
Insufferable people with minimum of 5000+ hours in EFT.
>>543257247EVE Fitting Tool?
>>543256131Because Woods is the best map in the game.
>>543238076Tarkov will mog both in a month.
>>543259045lol
>>543258885Woods fucking sucks. It's empty, has dogshit loot, one of the least fair bosses, and is 90% open field with copypasted trees.
>>543259045based trve believer
>>543259706>woods>dogshit lootKeep thinking that.
>>543061470Wiki or not, a first-raid-ever player has no habitual visual landmarks to orient himself. Unless he spent 30+ hours artistically rewatching gameplay footage for every map before starting, no first-raid player looks around a room and knows that he spawned on the coffeeshop and which way to go to the emercom and which doors are even real on TG office. Nobody starts playing the game with an inherent capacity to project what you see in the game on wiki maps.
>>543260553Old players wouldn't be playing this game if they didn't have some inherent advantage vs. newbies.
>>543259706>one of the least fair bossesLol Shturman is one of the easiest bosses in the game
i haven't felt like doing a raid since the slopcore patch for the paper-skinnedwhat a fucking monumental blunder
>>543276654I just played for the meme FOMO achievement and haven't played since. Thankfully the battlepass comes out in two days so I finally have a reason to boot up Tarkov, even if it's only the fake game.
>>543259045and other lies you tell yourself
>>543276654>i am emotionally and mentally fragile>I cannot have fun unless I am sufferingok???
>>543260553>not going into practice mode and walking around the map to figure out landmarks and locationsChrist do you just assume everyone is a blind retard
Console release confirmed, holy shit how bad are they gonna fuck this up
>>543289705No aim assist and forced crossplay, you heard it here first.
>>543289537>going into practice mode and walking around the map to figure out landmarks and locationsNobody does that
>>543289831>get it on console>disable crossplay so cheaters get fuckedOh my based, consoleGAWDS won
>>543291553>reading comprehension
>>543291651You said heard it here first so it's not confirmed though. Just saying the option would be based
>>543289705Confirmed where?
>>543289705just trust me bro
>>543047767That's a fine idea
>>543289373loot should have value and the softcore event is just the same old wipe event extended to a full monthit's fucking dogshit
>26 days of this "event" to gosurely they're going to have something else happen?
>>543311149They will, there's the battlepass on the 22 and the yearly halloween eventI wouldnt expect big things tho
so arc raiders is going to dieanother one falls before eft
>>543311553Game looked fine to meMy main worry is the cheating killing the game, just like tarkov
>>543311757>everyone playing better than me is cheating
"Battlestate Games' studio head Nikita Buyanov confirmed in a post-Tokyo Game Show 2025 recap video released on October 17, 2025, that a console version is in active development, a move that could bring the hardcore extraction shooter to PlayStation and Xbox audiences. "Multiple outlets are reporting this, is this the only site you guys look at
>>543311757ARC's problem is that it is extremely generic, PVE is uninteresting and bordering on nonexistent and every fight boils down to extraction camping and/or abusing the third person camera. There is absolutely no future here.Not to mention that it's also paid. It MIGHT have gotten away with it if it was F2P but I can guarantee you that it will have no staying power and will be dead the moment their sponsorship shill money dries up.
god, I love SBIHI don't think I've successfully extracted once today
>>543320328lmao
>manage to finish weekly AND get the last SJ1 for Assessment Part 3 at the same timeThank fuck, I only had a few hours left.
>>543047767kinda why I stopped using them, having massive obscuring cracks the moment they get brushed even after repairs is a no-go.
>>543259045People are making fun of you but it's funny because it's absolutely true.We've been through this song and dance a dozen times now where the newfangled TARKOV KILLER comes out during a small slump for the game, all the fags on leddit and twitter declare the game is DEAD, killed by incompetent devs that know NOTHING!!!! And then BSG releases a big content update, the other game trips and falls on a bunch of rakes it placed down iself, it dies and everyone's favourite slavjank shitheap stays standing.It's going to happen again with 1.0, people are going to get bored of ARC very quickly due to it learning nothing from other popular competitive shooters that were third person upon release (H1Z1 and PUBG say hello) along with shallow gameplay mechanics, BSG drops anoher game's worth of content on everyone's heads and then they move on. Watch this space
>>543311335they've said they're not doing Halloween this year, Nikita said in that TGS interview that all they had left planned for the main game before 1.0 was a small event that can be done just by modifying server side stuff without having to compile a new version, considering the timing of when tha was recorded I'm pretty sure that's the softcore stuff + Going Light questit's why we never got any bugfix patches past this wipe's initial patch, BSG pretty clearly have viewed the current version of the game from near the start of this year onwards as a way to tide over players while waiting for release and didn't really care about polishing it
>>543338330>game's worth of contenthahahahhahaha
>>543339139>scripted main storyline with several endings>several NPC factions>in-raid, voiced, animated traders>two new maps + expansions to at least Interchange (very possibly Labs and Reserve as well)>weapon paint system>gorillion new guns and parts>boatload of new clothing sets + armour + misc. gear>bunch of smaller mechanics that got delayed to be rolled into 1.0Face it anon, this stuff would be enough for any AAA dev to shit out a new entry in whatever slop series they make.Tarkov 1.0 is going to be HUGE and you WILL like it. You WILL rebuy the game on Steam and post a positive review. You WILL praise Nikita when you go to bed for the gifts he has delivered you. And you WILL be happy.
>go to Night Customs as sort of a joke>figure I won't find Cultists there because I literally never find Cultists anywhere when I'm looking>holy fuck I see one>dude is wearing full class 5 with just a knife>kill him>another shows up a little later>kill him>no knife>go searching>dead silence and I nearly get killed through my class 6 back plate like it isn't even there>get away>find another cultist who is also kitted out but no knife>explore the fortress>can't find what I presume is another 2 >decide fuck it and leave
>>543343153>Cultist hunting>no headphonesyou're either psychotic or a damn fool, swordfag.
>>543343370Yeah I had no fucking idea they were that sneaky, I wasn't expecting to just see dark figures moving quickly in the night. I thought I could hear footsteps just barely, I was on my toes the entire time. Think Comtac V will be good enough on a retry? I have to kill Priest.
>trying to get to the cuckshed to snipe sriracha sauce man>end up with a goofy melee killAnd no, I didn't get to snipe sriracha man because he wasn't there for the 20th time or so.
>>543350064who is spicy man?
>>543350649Zryachiy. Trying to get the achivement of killing every boss, but this fucker is bugged or something. I suspect Niggita made ALL bosses 50% spawn chance while fucking around with with their spawn chances. He used to be 100%.
>>543350064Awesome work, I'd have never tried to go for the melee
>>543350064Guaranteed he went on to complain how TD3 is shit and the AK-12 is unusable.
tarkov but with good lighting
>>542978303Worse. It's>nu-fun
>>543358039What's the conversion ratio from fun to nu-fun? I've been playing some more Duckov through the weekend, pretty fun at max difficulty.
>get a 6 hour circleholy FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK YOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>543361154>mustache>danexDo you have Collector active? I thought you can't get Collector items from the circle.
>>543361257I do, those were 2 of the 4 items I needed for Collector still. Only two left are an Evasion Armband and those funky one-lens glasses
>>543361154>Sanitar's baguseless since it's so small
>>543362935It's needed for a quest.
>>543362935Last item I needed for Special Offer. Haven't seen Sanitar in weeks given I pretty much never play Shoreline.
>>543361154I'm glad they haven't done it yet because the Goons quest is already enough of a pain in the arse when you're trying to knock out Kappa but I'm surprised they never ended up making you need to hand over items for the Sanitar/Goons/Kaban parts of Huntsman Path
>>543363928I was recently thinking about how I wish they'd make the bosses guaranteed spawn with their "iconic" item that you have to turn in. Reshala can spawn with like half a dozen other pistols than his gold one, only reason I had one on hand was because I had like 10 of his silly figurine and turned it into the gun. Shturman always spawns with his key, Sanitar his bag, but Tagilla doesn't always spawn with even his face mask or chest rig and I already mentioned Reshala.
>>543362978So, useless.

>fucking punisher helmetKill me
>>543370964since they changed inertia in arena and now ported it to main game, its safe to say these changes are staying
>>543370964I must say I'm not a big fan of BSG's taste in AR furniture
>>543370964Idc as long as the goofy shit of arena doesn't start leaking into the base game.
>>543370964The only good thing is that you likely won't see most of this shit, because not even Tarkov players are retarded enough to run around in bright clothes and would rather stay somewhat camouflaged.
>>543374069We're at least getting a Colt 723/733 with 1.0 so presumably we're getting SOME sort of retro/early GWOT AR mods but their taste in modern ARs is revolting. I think the last decent furniture set they added was the URGI stuff and that was several years agoIf they're going to saddle us with opr8orslop they could at least add stuff like BCM furniture, the modern KAC rails, more Magpul stocks, the B5 Bravo, DD RIS III, Scalarworks/Unity mounts, so on and so forth, not the clearance trash heap of your local gun store made out of pot metal>>543374337Anon...
what are the chances they will fix optimization for the release? I dont see how it would bring people who left the game because of raising pc requirements otherwise
>it's another hk416 (and m4) is now the worst gun in the game patchthanks i was only 85% complete with my weapon task and now i have to suffer this bullshit
got into a slapfight with one of the more popular streamers, decided to check out his stream VODs to see why he thinks he's hot shit and jesus fucking christ this guy is a britbong version of this one bloke I know who whenever he plays Tarkov just sits there whinging about cheaters 24/7 even when he's having several successful raids in a row. He spent 90% of the stream sitting in a corner of Lighthouse waiting for players to run pass for easy kills while watching goyslop on YT and kept crying about cheaters. Literally has a 'daily cheater' count in the corner of the stream. Where do these people come from? Why is he popular in any shape or form? Seems like a charisma void, what do people get out of watching his stream?>>543375205I think there actually is a decent chance at least some stuff will run better depending on how much of the past year has been dedicated to developing new content vs. polish. If they've spent pretty much all their active development time since .16 on optimisation and bugfixes, it'll probably run closer to how .12 used to run outside of Streets which I think would take a very long time to get to the point where PCs don't have to bruteforce it anymore
>>543375205Zero chance. When they started talking about potentially splitting Streets of Tarkov in two maps a few months ago I have completely lost hope for performance to improve. The recommended system requirements of 64 GB of RAM also makes it obvious that performance will still be shit in 1.0.I remember very well that performance used to be acceptable until late into version 0.13, but then some retarded dev completely fucked up the game with a technical update and things have never been the same anymore.It was exactly at that time that my old PC started to get Blue Screens of Death while playing Tarkov because the game started deep throating all the RAM available in my computer and leaving nothing left to the operational system.
can someone post a clip of all the rewards when it comes out, i did it last time but cba logging in these days
I have not played in a couple years, I pay pigged EOD during a Christmas sale a few years ago. Do you get the PVE mode for free with the old EOD version now? I know when they released PVE they backtracked on giving all DLC for free to EOD but did they bend the knee or did Nikita still be a greedy piece of shit and make you pay for it?
>>543383814Yeah you should have it now.

>>5434177231 thread too many.
>>543375947Did something happen? I've been using an M4 for the past few days to get through my excess M995
>>542988221Verdict for Shart Raiders: didn't manage to break 200k for the free test. My prediction: 100k on release, dead in a year.
>>543427120talking strictly arena here, probably doesn't apply to tarkov in any meaningful way
>>543429013Oh thank god, I was worried. I didn't see a patch today, I figured the Softcore coming to PvE thing hit or somehting and fucked up everything.
Is anyone else's Tarkov crashing or behaving weird right now?
>>543338330>learning nothing from other popular competitive shooters that were third person upon release (H1Z1 and PUBG say hello)Didn't PUBG hit 3.1 million CONCURRENT players on Steam?If Arc Raiders hits even 10% of that, you think their devs won't be ecstatic over it?
>>5434402461. pubg was a novelty and the first real, big BR2. they added first person within 5 months of release. thats when the game started really exploding in popularity.3. the game is also just really solid.
>>543443486You completely missed the point, not surprising given the room-temperature IQs in hereI don't know why I even bothered
hitting 300k and then sharply declining, not sure thats enough to sustain the game financially.
>new messages>2 cheaters you reported have been bannedLETS GOOOOOOOO 1st was a guy on factory with pretty average stats but TONS of legendary and bullshit achievements despite having just 400hrs. No one gets snowball and killer7 that soon, if ever. 2nd guy was someone on reserve with 15kd, wearing that fat vulkan helmet (no ears) and an AK50, I peeked out a random doorway and he instantly headshotted me from like across the map kek. It was early enough in raid that there was absolutely no way he'd have any evidence to know I'd look out that particular window at that time. He was already aiming down sights at me and everything
I miss earrape headphones.

is ARC Raiders a meme? the game looks like janky trash
>>543454402Nah it's basedCant wait for the 31
>>543455457should it be my first extraction game?
>>543454402It's a pretty fun game, but doesn't scratch the same itch as tarkov for me. The stakes just don't feel very high in the game right now and killing other players doesn't feel as tense or personal. I had fun though, worth $20 I guess but I'll probably end up getting it cause I'm weakPROS>the beta test map was pretty cool, nice POIs>queuing into a game was super fast>sound in general is pretty damn good, guns sound great>shooting the robots is fun, they have interesting physicsNEUTRAL>the amount of loot is really high, you can fill your backpack easily in the immediate area you spawn in>a backpack of even mid/lowtier loot can be turned into multiple loadouts via craftingCONS>killing people in pvp isn't very personal, I wish there were dogtags>personally I don't like the 3rd person camera>would like a lot more weapon variety, but hopefully the release fixes that
>>543456613Idk about should but it could, it's pretty casual-friendly, unlike tarkov
Post your gun.What quest are you doing?Are you crafting anything?

I just loot shit and sell it
>Key to the Tower>there's 20 potential spawns for the itemoh FUCK
>>543471509Last time I did that quest it ended up being in the last spot I checked in the Water Treatment Plant.
>>543472767First run I spawned at the sunken house area so I checked the first 6 spawns before getting Head, Eyes'd by a random PMC Ai because I got too cocky and forgot I didn't have a face shield on.
>>543472958Okay, so I ended up finishing Key to the Tower. 4th raid it ended up in the first Chalet. Each raid had its own problems, but overall it wasn't the worst even if I never got to explore too deep into Water Treatment for semi-obvious reasons. On the plus side, I'm over 50 Rogues killed for Drip-Out Part 2 now.
>>543447016Which game?>>543454402Honestly not interested, Fallout 4-tier pipe guns and 70s retrofuturism but lame. Seems like there's a lot of enthusiasm around it but I'll pass, if Nigita is smart though he'll make the Steam price aligned with it though.
>>543482281Next quest is gonna be a massive pain if you're scared of the rogue base.
>>543485070Did the one where I had to walk to the bridge, then got one where I had to go find a Flash Drive on one of 20 spawns in the Water Treatment Plant. Thankfully, it was on Spawn 9 (so it was fairly early into the trip), and spawns seemed to be pretty mild as I only saw 2 rogues and a few scavs. I wanted to ask anyone, I occasionally hear really loud, deep, echoing gunshots on Lighthouse but can never really seem to pinpoint where they're coming from. Am I mishearing mines or something? It's a fucking terrifying sound and I always think it's someone with a real big gun coming for me.
>>543471509>>543472767>>543472958unironically you're supposed to make a route that checks at least one of the spawns and then just run that until you get lucky
>>543488019Really? I kept spawning near Southern Road and just went from one spawn to the next.
>>543488240when I was doing it I got fucking tired of building a new kit fucking constantly, but I guess that's just BEAR gameplay on that shitty mapare you looking forward to assessment part 1?
>>543489073Assessment Parts 1-3 are before Knock-Knock and Getting Acquainted, I'm also a Bear but I figure that I mostly have the benefit of being on PvE to credit any kind of survival/accomplishment. It's actually been several runs since I've even seen The Goons (thank fuck). Now I gotta wait 10 hours for the Flash Drive to fix the thing, I even bought a marked key for something on the other side which is cool.
>>543487456>i think it's someone will a big gun coming after me>pve embarrassing

>>543490163You VILL use ze FDEslop.
>>543490059I mean someone like Birdeye, he has that .338 Bolty
>>543489351yeah some shit was happening when I was doing it
>>543490897Jesus man how the fuck do you play like this?
>>543491024surprisingly well honestly, killed all 3 of those guys
>>543491282>3lmao I didn't even notice the third guy
>>543490359if it was the black finish one and had some vertec grip options I wouldn't be so bothered (although I still think the A3/A4 silhouette is inferior to the M9 or even the A1) but holy fuck the sand finish M9A3 is so goddamn ugly compared to the classicscould be worse I suppose. could be more striker fired slop
>>543427556Why do you want the game to fail?
>>543490897Spooky, but at least one of them was carrying a backpack large enough to carry the rest of their shit out in lmao
>>543457357>a backpack of even mid/lowtier loot can be turned into multiple loadouts via craftingNot worthwhile loadouts, crafting anything above the most basic bitch guns required a ton of shit.
>>543482281>Honestly not interested, Fallout 4-tier pipe guns and 70s retrofuturism but lame.That's what puts me off of it. The only other extraction shooter that had a fictional setting I liked was Marauders, but unfortunately, it was in Marauders.
>>543493948Marauders is pretty good, what's the issue?
>>543494014*wasLast update was 14 months ago, it's over. Either they ran out of funds or threw in the towel.
>>543494246Live-Service is a bad model, the game feels pretty finished as is. There's loot, there's things to do, lots of maps, etc. That's like saying any finished game needs updates and it has a massive playerbase that shits on Tarkov's.
>>543494014My issues when I played early on release was most of the guns not feeling right, the maps were weird and didn't seem well designed, and the looting/crafting didn't seem good. Just felt something missing in the gameplay as a whole. Loved some things, but shooting just felt weird, man.
>>543440192I haven't crashed in raid, but I have on extract a few times lately, and have been getting the 0 error where I have to restart the game.
>>543492060Rematch (footy game) had 180k players in open beta and was 25€, on release it peaked at 90k players. It's shrimply mathematical. Not to mention the feedback for Rematch beta was globally positive, a lot of people who never played an Extraction Shooter in their lives played Shart Raiders and left disappointed. Game will do around 100k players on release and over around 10k in a year.
>>543454402i'm worried about third person faggotry and the extreme advantage of squadfags since there's no 1 shot equalizer like in tarkov. But the game itself is really pretty and the sound design is awesome.

>>543508678I'm used to the MP9-N after using it for so long in the main game, and I personally feel the potential is higher than the MP7. Yesterday I saw a couple of people much better than me completely gape games with the MP9, as well.

>>543556454You should've just tossed a grenade over hard cover, you don't have to play like a bitch and wait for him, but doing the opposite won't help you and just makes you look like a dumbass.

>>543557251It will prevent that from happening if you throw the grenade from cover, without a direct LOS on him. You could've tossed one over that generator.
I've been looking for an Antique axe for 2 months now I'm going to lose it
>can't put any meds in your secure nowWhy, It's to like "balance" sweats taking in Grizzlys and shit or whatever the meta medpack is now but why not let you put in cheese packs and shitty splints and stuff.
>>543559385Nobody brings meds in their secure container other than splints and surv kits (survs go in special slot 1 now). The only people seething about it are literal shitter retards.
>>543559994>The only people seething about it are literal shitter retards.Yeah why do you think I made my post? It's gay, I can't just keep running factory and shit having fun putting ammo and meds in my secure having fun anymore while I take in a pistol or shitty kit.
Guys.... I think I got some bad news...
>>543559994>Nobody brings meds in their secure container other than splints and surv kitsExcept everybody with a brain who put triple splint and painkillersThis change was pure retardation and you stop defending it
>>543560691If your secure container wasn't a Surv-12, SICC, and Injector Case, you're a retard.
>>543560613It's over...>>543560691>muh painkillersPainkillers are a crutch especially at normal wipe values when you can have up to FIFTEEN uses, meaning you can be permanently on painkillers for like 2 raids before you run out, not having them in secure containers is unironically a good thing and a much needed nerf, you can still run several stims with painkiller effects in your ass with a stim case anyway.>splintSplints are dirt cheap.
>>543561425>It's over...It's completely joever..>>543557109Jesus, I'm jealous. I've only killed him once this wipe (and once last time I played years ago). That dude scares the tits off me. The only 15 kill achievement I have is Tagilla.
>>543561007>>543561425If nobody was putting meds in their container why make the change in the first place? And if it doesnt matter why would oppose them changing it back? Spoiler: Because you're retarded fucking apes who dont know shit about the game, much like BSG themselves
>>543563154>If nobody was putting meds in their container why make the change in the first place?Because people do bring meds in their secure containers, the thing is vast majority of those people are clueless retards who are shitting their diapers at the mere thought of losing that precious 3/3 hemostat. As I already said, painkillers are a crutch and deserved a nerf, you still retain surgery kits after dying, and splints are cheap and you really don't need to keep them in your secure container. Not having meds in secure containers is a massive nothingburger.Anyway, don't reply without stats in your next post.
>>543563587>the thing is vast majority of those people are clueless retards who are shitting their diapers at the mere thought of losing that precious 3/3 hemostat.So what's the problem with that? Why is it good for the game to prevent timmy from putting his hemostat and vaseline in his container if he's fucking broke? Go ahead, I'm listeningAlso, you're asking for stats but you seem to have forgotten to post yours,need any help?
>>543557109Killa's AI is definitely different than it used to be. In that anon's defense that would have been okay a couple of years ago, but probably, but anon's full swing is what fucked him; Killa unlocks faster nowadays and anon just too slow getting a shot out when he went around the corner. I killed him earlier today in a similar situation when he was firing on my friend in Oli, from the hallway between it and furniture, but I jiggle peeked on him around the shelf in Tecno and he just...ran off to the furniture store and got shot in the back, didn't even try firing back at me.
>>543563916There's this thing called "hardcore" that's been going on for the past 3 months. Also that Timmy can hit the nearest loot spot, fill his container with random garbage and still make some buck even if he dies. Or fucking play a Scav and make some money if you're broke. If you're broke not being able to keep a hemostat is the least of your worries.>b-b-but they made it softcoreAnd they never said they're going to revert all the changes.
>>543564928>Timmy can, uuuh, hit a loot spotOk I dont think you understood the question, I asked you why is it a GOOD change, not to argue that it's "not that bad"So I'll just ask again, why is it a good thing for the game to prevent timmy from putting hemo and vaseline in his ass?
>>543565561There should be an extremely limited amount of things you can stick up your ass to retain value, retard. If I kill a nigga, maybe I need his meds.
>>543565561Items you use in raid should be forfeit upon death, from food to meds and from meds to ammo/magazines/armor. Remember when you could stick pistols, mags, helmets, and things like Thermals in your gamma?
>>543565561>I asked you why is it a GOOD changeI already told you painkillers were overpowered and in need of a nerf. Timmy can still get to level 10 and just buy a Zagustin or AHF1M on the flea market, pay premium price if you want to keep something that prevents bleeds in your ass.
>>543565864>There should be an extremely limited amount of things you can stick up your ass to retain value, retard.Yes, but that's clearly not the case in this game, because I can loot a Bitcoin and a LEDX and put both of them in my ass, denying you the value of it if you kill meAnd I still dont have an answer, so forgive me if I ask again Mr Black Gorilla Nigger, why is it a GOOD thing to prevent timmy from putting a hemo in his ass? >>543566069Yes, and if anything I think they should prevent MORE valuables from being stashed in the ass, but that's not what BSG did did they?
>>543566224>items you use in raid>MORE valuablesDude, you don't "use" a Ledx in raid. I don't care if you jammed that up your ass because it was already there, keeping all of your meds up your ass is gay.
>>543566224>find ledx>can't gamma it>congrats, you have now become a magnet for cheatersLow IQ retard
>>543565864That's what the logic behind the change was, being able to scavenge meds you may need after fighting dudes. I played with a guy in the past who would never play with any meds or painkillers out of his secure just to ensure that if he dies, it would deny his killer meds to loot.
>>543566224>And I still dont have an answer, so forgive me if I ask again Mr Black Gorilla Nigger, why is it a GOOD thing to prevent timmy from putting a hemo in his ass?Ignoring my answer does not mean you didn't get one, it means you're incapable of disassembling or responding to it. Useable, value items like meds should be able to be taken on death, just like your ammo, your magazines, your gear, etc. I don't care what you looted to an extent, but carrying 15 uses if Ibuprofen up your ass is retarded, a bad thing, and the positive change is that these items can no longer be used as a crutch.
>>543566370>Dude, you don't "use" a Ledx in raid.Never said or implied you do retard>>543566374>Actually the game is so riddled with cheaters we should be able to store our entire gear in our ass, that's an acceptable solutionDiagnostic: Severe brain damage
>>543566583>Never said or implied you do retardOh so you didn't read my post before replying to it.
>>543566581>Ignoring my answeOther way around, you're ignoring my question or too stupid to understand itHence why I've been patient and re-stated it so you could answer it, I'm sure you'll have a real answer this time instead of more whataboutism about how "it's not that bad"
>please think of the Timmy, how will he be able to play without having a 13k rouble med in his ass :((((Damn, that sucks, guess he'll just have to loot one or two esmarchs that spawn on every other Scav... The horror...
>>543566224>why is it a GOOD thing to prevent timmy from putting a hemo in his ass?because it encourages people to loot or fight other players (who are near guaranteed to have the required med items on them)
>>543566914>he's literally ignoring my answer>stillDude reread my post.
>>543567171>who are near guaranteed to have the required med items on themHow often do you actively seek PvP without meds on you?The one situation that would legit qualify for this argument is if you're real fucked up and need a CMS/Surv for more charges, which also happen to be the specific meds item they DONT allow you to loot
duckov has to be the most forced shit i have ever seen and it would not surprise me to learn that its a chink shilling campaign>DOOD WACKY DUCKS LMAO HEHE UP YOURS BSG
Hey why can't I combine meds? an afak with 200 charges and one with 50 should be able to be mixed into 250 charges. Make it take a minute and make the Field Medicine skill affect how fast it goes.>>543569238>meme versions of existing gamesThis isn't new
I feel like BTR/Lightkeeper should end up on the Traders screen at least for tasks after you've made consistent contact with them. It feels like a lot of running around to simply turn a quest in in-raid, where the reward is now subject to if anything bad happens to you.
>>543572728That could be cool, I don't really wanna run back to turn in Simple Side Job right now. I figure I'll finish Information Source or whatever first.
>>543569314>Hey why can't I combine meds?Planned™
>>543582592Is it?
>>543582990no
>>543524708>>543526758>>543536462If there was a God he would instantly smite whoever decided to add the gimp masks into the game off the face of the earthAlso I'm glad people are using my edits now kek
>>543583478Don't do that to me.. I want it too. Imagine Field Medicine being a skill for doing things like that, getting a cute little animation of you ruffling through your stuff and one of those fill-wheels on the med you're fusing them into and it getting faster based on the skill. Would make it a lot better than just dropping/selling off a Salewa/AFAK/IFAK when they reach sub 50 charges.

>>543610176>tactical map is paidroflmao
>>543557857camp night street vent shaft. A pscav will bring it to you in no time.
>>543610176>>543609341Since I assume you both play PvP, what kind of change is the increased number of "valuable containers" and duffle bags? Is it just spawning all of the ones that normally spawn and sometimes don't? Or are there new ones? also>go to log in to grab my 6h cultist circle>they started the update "two minutes ago"REEEEE
for you lazy fucks
>>543610834whoops dropped image
I wonder if they forgot to add the missing Ref cosmetics for PVEfags. My bet is yes.
>>543569238It's a low-commitment coffee break game in a genre (PvE extraction) that barely has competition. And no one is actually saying "up yours BSG" if anything I only saw people making fun of Arc Raiders (the actual shilling campaign) for failing to have more people during its free test.
Place your bets on the price of the tactical map>$15
>>543611248it means a higher percentage of the spawn points available for containers will be active. the "sometimes don't" ones will be there more often>no added spawns for container, but more containers. IE you will see more of them
>>543614104Okay works for me, thank you! I should probably check that marked room on Lighthouse some once the game is back up. Last time I stopped there it was awful
>>543610176>Removed the EFT loot crates from BP rewardsso theres no point even playing it, nice
>>543614991There is: playing it for fun! You enjoy playing Arena, no? :)
>>543614991>>Removed the EFT loot crates from BP rewards
>>543614883it's the cheapest marked room key for that reason. Run streets marked rooms at night (mysterious and factory), you'll make bank and they're pretty cheap
>>543615339I was hoping it was cheap because it takes a long time to be able to go over there, so most people can't go but that makes sense. I think I have a couple of Abandoned Factory keys sitting around, and I need to find the Mysterious Room and check that one too>at nightAny particular reason?
>>543615501NPC's have smaller aggro and sight range. It'll help when Kaban and his boys spawn too. you're already doing pve but people in PVP generally go slower at night which gives advantage to getting to a hot spot quicker. If you don't get out the stuff you put in your butt will be worth your kit.
>>543616260I am admittedly quite scared of Kaban and Kollontay (especially since last time I tried to fight Kaban I walked into a mine and instantly died outside of the entrance after killing 2 guards). I'll see what I can make happen, and the extra skill leveling makes me excited to finally get the second half of Mag Drills done.
>>543616631learn streets. It's a money farm. Kaban is a bitch at first. but if you throw a grenade towards the machine gun from north or south entrance, they'll scatter long enough for you to run into a shipping container and shoot them when they're running back to it. Rinse and repeat until you get to kaban then throw a nade and shoot him while he's running off. Bring at least four grenades/flashbangs. Here's a pic of the mines. Don't go on the sidewalk around the dealership and you'll be fine. The factory marked room is by the cinema and the mysterious room is by the BSG office (which is where you find the relax room key. the relax room is across the street from factory key. hit all three rooms with a giant bag and you'll be set)
>>543617982Alright, I've been to Relax and Abandoned Factory, but yeah I've always avoided Lexos outside of a couple of quests (where I was lucky enough to not see Kaban). That spot right there is where I blew up, it was the worst because I thought it was the mounted grenade launcher that gets you from the other side, which I still have no idea where that is to snipe at it btw. Hitting 2 marked rooms and Relax sounds like it's a HUGE profit margin, so I may go for that, especially since the one time I was in relax I got like 4 moonshine with a buddy. Does Kaban stand out amongst the guys? I assume I need big ammo (Maybe BT or M855A1)
>>543561425>>543560691>>543563154nonretards use Surv-12 to heal broken legs because they forgot splints when building their kit
>>543572728>>543580024hopefully it fucking happens because I'm tired of having to roll the dice if the BTR is bugged for my account every wipe
>>543618868fucking truth. >open insurance>alt click gear>tab>open search>"CALO">ctrl click>"AFA">ctrl click>"m61">ctrl click>grab and pack mags>Enter raidahh fuck I forgot food/water/splints again
>>543619053forgot>ahh fuck I only have 2 uses left>>543618271>profitif you just hit
>>543618868>20 seconds per limb
>>543619514better than limping everywhere
>>543618271>>543619158oops>profit If you hit marked rooms make sure to take your time and wiggle your mouse everywhere, there are some spots in both of them that might have a bitcoin under a piece of cardboard or debris on the ground. Here's a route for when you spawn on either side of the map, hit circled areas. There is so much more to streets and little things, but this is a great pmc money route. and will help you learn the map a little better. Make sure you avoid just NE of lexos a WIDE berth because a kaban guard that spawns on the grenade launcher is a bastard with crazy vision.
>>543619591It's just so frustrating, though I will admit Surv fixing both a fracture AND a blacked out limb with one use is great.
>>543618271>kabanHe is unarmored with a lot of health, a trenchcoat, a fatty, with a bald head. Just save a mag for his head. and don't wait for him reload. just bring lots of flashes and nades to get him moving. It'll take a second or two for him to recalibrate.
where can I see all the bp rewards? anything good? can someone post a vid or clip
>>543619971Anon the game is not updated yet.
>>543618271I will also say that it's best you separate a money run and kaban run. Looting him and his guards will stack your bag. Looting one of the marked rooms and bsg will stack your bag. Looting both marked rooms and relax will have you making very hard choices of what to keep
>>543618271>(Maybe BT or M855A1)don't pve with 5.45 or 5.56 if you can help it, the damage is just not there against bosses in general. use 7.62x51 bcp if you must, or a 153/155 or saiga with flechette/pirahna
>>543619817>>543619940>>543620060That all makes sense, and I like the route. I usually carry an SR-25 or some other DMR on Streets for range play, but I'll maybe bring my AK in case of close range incident with Kaban (provided I make it a Kaban run and not a money run). I'll keep in mind what he looks like, and I usually carry somewhere between 0 and 6 grenades, looting more from the PMC AI as I go since they always carry 2. This is super informative and gives me a pretty good idea of what to do and where to go, I'll make sure I get a 6SH beforehand. >wiggle your mouse everywhereThankfully, I have maxed Perception so I always get the little dot just for being near stuff, which means I often just jam my face into corners and run around rooms looking like an idiot lmao
>>543620562sr-25 is great. use what you know. and leave a slot open the guns you'll find. >max perceptionyou'll be just fine. There are also two pharmacies near the route I made that have a plethora of medbags for ledx's and there's always a bunch of food on streets so you can save that space too. Happy to help. I only pvp so some information may not be applicable (what is valuable/pmc spawn points) but I have 3.5k hours so ask away
>>543583794They're good edits, anon. I hope you'll make some more in the future if the opportunity presents itself.
>AK-50 takes M82 magsIt's only a matter of time until Nigita discovers this thing exists.
>>543619514Don't worry it will be fixed when Nikita implements First Aid skill for 1.0
>>543594020i'm pretty sure you can make it even shorter though, too short to even fit a foregrip

>>543566581Dogshit take and also you're a nigger.
>>543621427That's pretty awesome, sorry for the long delay on replying, I picked up a random game on steam to pass the time and I really like it (it's called The Spell Brigade). Was trying to pass the time, I usually just carry either a Kvass or an Apple Juice in my enhanced pockets, since I have max Metabolism I rarely need to eat/drink in-raid too often, but I'll keep an eye out. >LedxI wish I had something I could do with these now that I have so many lmao

It literally feels like there's glue in the bottoms of my shoesWhy the FUCK would you EVER want to encourage playstyles that rely on silently holding a corner and waiting for someone to just run into you and no skill in aiming in an arena shooter? I don't really even play video games anymore, Tarkov and then Arena were the last ones and a while ago I decided to call it quits too because the direction they're taking the game to is just comically bad, but now I saw there's a new patch with new features so I had to come check it out and guess what? It's worse than it has ever been.>u mad?No I'm fucking furious

I basically don't want any of the items beyond level 20 of the battlepass, and 1 or 2 of the Common Ref drops, so it's nice to know that I won't be suffering any FOMO this time around.

>>543645948I'm back on Arena but I think it was around 45 GP coins, way too cheap considering modden guns are like 100+, they may have just set it to non hardcore prices because they underestimate the poopsockers that will max out the battlepass within a week.
>>543644391sick as hell
>in-ears can be worn with hatsHatchads, we fucking won.

so basically, all the new clothing skins suck. fuck off
>>543655148so far im just paying one token category per unlock, sometimes you need two. you have to unlock all of the pawns to move to the next section. its kind of annoying that it doesnt tell you what future pawns cost so you have to guess which ones to grind for

>>543666504>>543679729The only good thing to come out of this is all the sweats are going to stop running those ugly ass CQC masks. Altyns are peak aesthetic.
>>543679926Yeah. It won't change much but aesthetics will skyrocket.
>>543679320they're alright if you can hit your headshots, if not you have to simply rely on outdamaging whatever m80/7.62 PP cannon everybody else uses through firerate
if i don't get everything i need for the scav case soon i'm going to scream
>fake fake gameWho fucking cares just cheat yourself whatever you need at this point.

>new battlepass>page 10
Anyone still playing this joke of a game riddled with cheaters is a retard.
Better grind out the battlepass if you want to do Setup in the future :^)
>>543690014lol what a bunch of cocksuckers
GSSh has never been good, you're better off without them anyway.
>>543692310Yes, yes comrade, he should play the new Season 1 Battlepass in Escape from Tarkov™: Arena to unlock the brand new Peltor TEP-300 tactical earplugs, which are much better.
why the fuck does ref not have battlepass items i unlocked?pve btw
>>543692650Arena? Get that stinky turd away from me and turn up your volume as GSSh does exactly that but by jewing you out of rubles.
>xhe thinks ref will actually have exclusive contentoh no WE HAVE LE """P2W""" STUFF FOR A WHOLE MONTH UNTIL 1.0 AIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
I'm more concerned about the obvious cheating faggots I've been reporting not getting banned than whatever garbage niggerita trying to sell me
Does arena still have the dogshit softcore rules going on right now?
>>543692310That's not the point you dumbass
Arena feels so fucking bad now. If I didn't want the camo for the base game I wouldn't touch this shit.
>>543700163Ermmmmm we're just gathering data from the cheater, don't worry.
>tried to use 5.56 in arena again>on assault no lesswhen are they going to let this shit be usable?
So what's the lore reason why Zacy has 175 head hp? any reason he can take 3-4 5.56x45 rounds to the head?
It's all so tiresome.I would rather Tarkov have a quarter of the playerbase if it meant we never got dogshit skins to appeal to the retarded whales and children who love shovelling slop into their mouths.
>>542851835i dont play single life modes. idk how to use v40s. the trajectory seems so far and the radius is so small. this medal is horrible
It's wild how a "Temu Tarkov" developed by some Chinaman have listened to their audience and removed most of the pay-to-win in the western version of the game, yet Tarkov charges you at least $50 for the game and is now filled with pay-to-win stiff like special editions, stash expansions, Arena, and now Battlepasses containing exclusive gear.
Anyone got screenshots of the new sights? I assume the Radian is just an M4, but any new attachments?
>the base gimp mask is now usable on Scoutare these devs retardeddon't answer that
>"new" weapon>look inside>ADAR, expensive edition
>everything is unrestricted on flea>almost everything i was selling tanked in valueI hate this.
>customs>hear some guy outside the bushes on dorms killing scavs>go take a position to watch the bushes>scavs keep trickling to him>he keeps killing them>just sits in his super obvious bush making tons of noise and not repositioning>eventually he just walks out of the bush as if its a pve raid and he's got nothing to worry about>cap him for free>look at profile>dogshit timmy stats, lvl15, as predicted>5K HOURS?????wtf, do people buy old EoD accounts just to have them? Obviously he wasn't cheating but to me the only reason to buy accounts is to cheat on. He played like someone with like 50h in the game. I don't care how long of a break you take, some things you shouldn't forget.
>>543727224I usually let my friends play on my account whenever I eventually drop the wipe
>>543728584Maybe so, he didn't have many raids at all so his stats clearly showed it was him playing all this wipe. Maybe his buddy didn't want to fuck with hardcore and let his newbie friend take it for a spin. Poor guy had killed partizan and actually had some decent loot by timmy standards. Needless to say he did not rekit after that death kek
pains me how much dumb shit there is in the new battlepass because stuff like this is unbelievably based, same as the woodland OTV
>second weekly pops up>20m rubles for +1 Stress ResistWelp, nothing else to do with money
>>543729937I do not consider wearing tan/desert camo gear in green and verdant Norvinsk cool regardless of which elite babykillers like to use it in real life
>>543734437But at least the thing might look stylish in Factory
I can predict the future o Tarkov and here's how some stuff will work in version 1.0:- Most traders will no longer be present outside of raids. We will have to find them inside specific maps in order to buy equipment or receive quests.- Only Fence is available directly from our hideout as a failsafe in case we are run out of guns or basic supplies.- If we extract from a raid, we are taken to our hideout but then we will have to return to the same map that we were previously in. In order to change maps we will have to do it via transit.- The implication of the item above is that if a particular NPC is on Streets and they send you to Customs to retrieve a quest item, then you have to transit all the way there and back without dying. We won't be able to cheese these quests by just storing the quest items in our hideout, transiting back to the map where the NPC is in, and then retrieving the item from our hideout to deliver it.- Transiting will be facilitated by raid instances which will now be persistent, meaning that we won't need to wait so long in queue until the server finally loads a map for us.- With persistent maps, open containers and lose loot will periodically respawn when no player has been nearby for a certain amount of time, and the same goes for the body of dead Scavs or PMCs which will eventually vanish from the map. If too many players are still inside the raid, the server will prevent players from joining the instance for a couple of minutes until the raid becomes a bit more empty so the server can do its "maintenance" before allowing players to rejoin the instance.- Raid timers will be mostly nonexistent unless the server hosting the persistent instances needs to reset after a few hours in order to prevent performance degradation. When this happens we will be required to extract before the timer reaches zero, but otherwise we are free to roam the maps for as long as we want (so long as we still have food and ammo left of course).
>>543734437filtered
>>543714340I haven't touched the 5.56 guns in arena in a long time, is it that bad? I see people doing well with MDRs pretty often. I don't feel that disadvantaged with my AK-12 even if I do better on scout
>>543676370I saw three different whales in a few hours when I played on the servers coming back up. Legitimately embarrassing to imagine whaling for fucking arena.
help a newtard out, i just pirated SPT, don't know anything about the game, read that i should install SAIN for better ai and SVM to tweak shit like whatever is in the op >For the newfags pastebin, anything else i should install?Can i just start doing task (that are hidden in the trader menu for some fucking reasons) and figure it out or do i have to buy a second monitor for the wiki and watch 100 tutorialsAlso how tough is the SPT from rags to riches or whatver the preset that starts you with nothing but a knife
>>543742665Sup anon, I was in exact the same boat quite recently. >tweak shit like whateverI very much recommend adjusting insurance and crafting with SVM to shorter wait times. >anything else i should install?QuestingBots and LooterBots are alright and recommended by the SAIN author. Those and the SVM are teh bare minimum. You'll be adding \mods beyond that in accordance with your preference once you get a good feeling of what you want. >Can i just start doing task (that are hidden in the trader menu for some fucking reasons) and figure it outYeah, that's how you're supposed to play. Quests give you extra gear, extra money, extra xp, and unlock more vendor options (your actual core progression), so in most of your PMC raids you're supposed to be trying to achieve some current quest objectives, in addition to just killing shit and grabbing a haul. Also, quests give you trader rep which is necessary for leveling traders and opening new tiers of equipment, but with SPT there is exactly 0 reason not to take any of the game editions that just pre-max out your trader rep. It's just a grind piece, it's not fun or challenging, you can and should skip it,. Trust me, I was worried about "making it too easy for myself" when first trying SPT, and playing with base edition and empty stash is not any more fun in the slightest, it's just a lot more tedious. (1/2)
How big of an issue is "gear diff" in this game? I've only played ABI and it is extremely infuriating to dump an entire mag into someone only for them to turn around and get me in one hit
>>543742665I'd say SAIN is a must have since the AI is retarded without it. With SAIN you'll actually have fun organic feeling fights, I play with the HARD preset on SAIN and bots can really surprise me and kick my ass. There's other mods that improve the AI like questing bots and looting bots, basically just makes the AI actually loot and do their own quests. I'd really recommend those too to go with SAIN. As for tasks yeah the first tasks you get are gonna take you to Ground Zero which is intended to be the beginner map. But since you're a complete beginner I'd watch a beginner video on youtube or something since the game teaches you nothing >Also how tough is the SPT from rags to riches or whatver the preset that starts you with nothing but a knifeDon't do that, you'll suffer. SAIN bots will probably be raping you anyways, having nothing will just make it miserable. I'd go with the UNHEARD option, it'll give you a lot of starting gear to play with
>>543742665The best advice i can give for learning is to NOT autistically follow task guides, but play the map first then cross reference with outside resources later for doing tasks. You'll get lost and feel retarded but you'll retain info on things better rather than trying to power through information overload. Most early tasks are kind of okay now that the descriptions are less ESL.Just play. If/when you have to look up a task you'll think "oh yeah I remember that place" instead of trying to find a place you've never been.Never played SPT, gomen. Hope you have a good time though.
>>543742665(2/2)>do i have to buy a second monitor for the wikiFor the next several dozen hours of play, you should keep the wiki page for the map of your current map open in a browser. Second monitor or just alt-tab to it, no real difference since for the talk of high-pace reaction-based gameplay, you're going to be snuggling into a hidey hole and sucking on your thumb for a minute or two as a part of the normal gameplay loop, a lot - refilling mags, using meds, eating/drinking, sorting loot, etc. In any case, an external map is a non-negotiable necessity in the current game until you learned all the extracts on every map you play. Otherwise you'll just have no idea of where to go. >watch 100 tutorialsThose don't help for shit and are mostly heavily outdated, just talk to people here to find out what gear and guns are good and which are trash and why, updates are mixing it up all the time anyway and we're about to hit the official 1.0 release, which will change a lot of things, and it will find it's way to the SPT eventually. >Also how tough is the SPT from rags to riches or whatver the preset that starts you with nothing but a knifeIt's not tough at all. It's mindbogglingly tedious. Having good shit in your stash does not "skip parts of progression", because everything in your stash is an expendable resource that gets actively used up as you play, gear and guns included. Learn to not get attached to any of it. Unless you manually set the insurance in SVM to 100% guaranteed return of all your stuff (which you shouldn't, as it does make playing a lot less interesting since it removes any stakes). If you want difficulty in Tarkov, you don't play naked - you dress in decent/good gear and play harder maps more aggressively. Nogear situations are not difficulty - they are the game punishing your bad plays with tedium (of playing some looter rat raids vacuuming any loot and actively avoiding any and all combat).
>>543744132Same thing happens in Tarkov, probably worse here since ABI actually has gear checks for the different queues, Tarkov has nothing like that. You can get players with dogshit ammo and armor going up agaisnt players with top tier gear and it's a big disadvantage
>>543744132you're only one good (head/eyes) away from a full kit. Do a bunch of pistol/mosin runs one the cheap and you'll get lucky a few times
>>543744132Gear is much less impactful in tarkov but there's no gear queue
>>543744132You MUST get into the habit of aiming for heads, as you can somewhat regularly run into scavs with level 4 armor that will tank tons of ammo. It's ammo vs armor disparity. There's lots of niggles on how different cartridges interact with armor that is a source of a lot of autism and perceived (true or not) hear disparity. As a general rule, try not to expect much out of ammo that doesn't approach level 3 pen, and even then, you don't get to stop aiming for headshots. You'll eventually learn exceptions to where you can power through most armor on torsos with high damage/pen ammo, but that is a knowing both your gun and your ammo situation. The gear disparity is pretty noticable and can feel overwhelming at times, but you do have options to mitigate it to a degree with experience.
>>543743832>>543744279>>543744353>>543744360Thanks for the help anons, will install the other bot mods and change game edition i guess, even if playing as a naked loot rat desperately trying to avoid getting killed sounds fun in a way, but i guess i don't need to start a game with nothing to do that
>>543714340Have you tried shooting the other guys in the head?
>>543746208god these graphics are so shit. Is it delusional to think they'll update them?
>>543746208Nice fit, anon. Looks good. >>543747270He's on low settings. It looks pretty okay if you're not minmaxing visibility + fps. That being said, it's unlikely it'll ever get a graphical update beyond what you have for options now.
>>543704178> If I didn't want the camo for the base game I wouldn't touch this shit.Ahem...
>>543671217Yes, because despite all its flaws, Tarkov is a deeply PvP game, and PvE is just there for show. The point of PvE is to slow your progress across the map, reveal your position, act as a point of interest, and drain your resources. PvE in the game isn’t challenging, and without PvP, it’s meaningless. Tarkov is a PvP game, and sensible heterosexual men can only enjoy it through PvP. PvE is for gay folk
>>543734597Holy fucking delulu retard.
>>543748931>PvE in the game isn’t challengingNeither is PvP. In fact, the whole point of Tarkov's progression is in continuously making the PvP less challenging. >sensible heterosexual men can only enjoy it through PvPSensible heterosexuals like >>543746208 play Arena.
>new battlepass comes out>sudden influx of blatant cheating niggers in arenaEvery time.
>>543749219Yup. Team fight and LH are ass cancer right now, they're in checkpoint too but their team can at least lose there
Ref now has a CQCM that's level 4 AND cheaper than the shitty level 3 ones.Lol.
>>543750547>using the level 4 CQCM in current yearHahahaha, you can run a headset with Altyns now, get with the times, gramps.
>>543750854Getting throatfucked either way.
>>543750993Well, at least now you can look good while getting throatfucked.
>>543750547>it's the one that's unlocked at the very end of the paid battlepassWow, who could've seen that one coming?
>>543746208based kit>>543747270>>543747810Nikita's talked about a graphics refresh in the past for 1.0 as recently as like 6 months-a year ago. Considering they haven't shown any material with new lighting/models/etc. it doesn't seem that likely (outside of selective updates to old weapon/equipment assets like they were doing up to the .16 wipe) that it'll happen yet, but who knows, could be a big 'wow' factor they're saving for release. Hard to tell though seeing as we haven't even gotten a proper 1.0 content trailer yet despite only being a few weeks out from the release lmao
>>543750547>>543752508these fucking things should have been removed from the game or neutered to the ground already, christthe ricochet chance change barely mattered at all, I still end up having a bunch of rounds deflect off them in arena. they need to make them level 2/3 and/or add visibility penalties already.
>>543753846You should draw a new 'jak based on the new battle pass.
>>543754113I will when I think of something wittysadly it's just a bit of powercreep at this point
>>543753846They can't remove them at this point. Without going too far into the other extreme of making them completely useless, I'd make it so that they have really low durability so that you can tank like one A1 shot before the next one is guaranteed to kill you. And fuck ricochets.I miss when this game stood by the LARPslop aesthetic. At least the new sights look cool.
>>543715978he's braindead
>>543754113NTA but the colors would probably give me a headache. Pic related killed me today
It's always Interchange, isn't it?

>>543756391Sometimes I forget the scale of just how much time this is, when I've seen 4, 5, 6k hours as often as I have. Then I stop and think, and remember that this man has literally spent a year and some change of his consciousness playing this game. Mother fucker popping blood thinners with his uppers so he can Tarky for 100 hours a week and not die of blood clots. >>543758718Interchange is the only map I somehow know with autistic detail. The outside matters a lot depending on where you spawn, in general in the early raid, and then it's for trying to snipe people at certain areas. You can be VERY gay if your goal is to get PMC kills and you want to play outside. But other than that, yeah, not much point besides being a hazard.

>>543825804Yea. It's a fucking joke. Wearing altyns and should like that should at least muffle it somewhat. BSG is so fucking dumb.
>>543825886I’m betting they’re going to revert or nerf most of these shit changes after all the paypiggies buy the map and levels
Ears bud is a fine addition to the game, heavy helmets needed a buff since they added the throat hitboxThe fact it's Arena only is the real crime
>>543830072>full head covering level 5 helmets?>a downside? no thats fucking dumbEven if you want the earbuds to mitigate the muffling it shouldn't be perfectly clear like you're not wearing the helmet at all. You're a fuckwit if you think otherwise.
>>543830375>a downside?Already there, you can barely see shit with most visorsThe new Ronin with earplugs, now that might be a problem
>>543830732You can see just fine. You're genuinely fucking dumb if you think having the same hearing as anyone else while wearing an altyn is anything but retarded.
>>543830732cmon man, visors aren't crystal clear, but you can most definitely see shit. if you use(d) visors regularly you barely notice it with anything that isn't the killa visor, even the tagilla mask isn't that bad. the problem was always impaired hearings enhanced hearing with things like the altyn, getting ambushed by guys who could hear you, but you not hearing them.
>>543830072coal
>>543838314>visors aren't crystal clearlpvos aren't crystal clear therefore you should have a god balaclava to make up for being forced to aim down sight to shoot
Nothing like giving the massive squad of interchang pscavs the slip, fucking nerve wracking running from hordes of them when you don't have any packed mags
>>543768443XI PINGS GONNA FREAK!
>>543830072they don't need a buff, gimp masks just need to be made shit.Although personally I'd still be more of a fan of rebalancing helmet progression to match IRL where it's less about extra protection throughout the years and more about extra comfort and utility via NVGs/flashlights/etc. slash prices of helmets to like a third-half and then nerf them down to level 3 protection max with the exception of SLAAP plates and the like. Altyn/Maska/Rys-T are all now early game unlocks. I know it'd be controversial thoughever
How do you people usually play ? Alone or in squad ?
>>543847396Squad for fun, solo for getting shit doneBut all my friends basically quit, so pretty much always solo
>>543847396Solo, being in a squad makes for some fun raids but I hate how much longer everything takes. You're always waiting on someone, fucking sucks.
>guy sprints directly at me>aim down sights>game stutters>dieffffffffffffff
>>543847718>>543849030Fair enough.Also, do some of you guys play PVE or SPT ? I bought Tarkov during Alpha, played a fair bit but then in the meantime i got a job and i don't have the time or energy to nolife like i used to. I'm kinda thinking about coming back for 1.0, but i'm not sure i have the energy to pop back into PvP and relearn everything.
Trying arena breakout right now, if nothing else, the map system is 100x better than Tarkov's "god sure hope you googled a map of the area" method
>>543850516I only play pvp, and I only play about ~2 raids a day. Personally I think it's a huge misconception that you have to nolife this game to have fun, you do have to be the type of person that can commit a ton of game knowledge to memory though. For me that's part of the fun.
>>543850805I am going to call this game a slur. >go into place with friend>he gets gunned down>get who killed him dies>go to loot my buddy since I don't even think there's insurance>extract>none of his stuff came back with me because extracting with other people's stuff gives it back to them (on the same team)This is both cool AND angering because that was my stuff, I stole it fair and square off of his corpse.

>topping leaderboards with mediocre kitsfeels good man
>>543855825>I stole it fair and square off of his corpse.games that don't let you be assholes to your friends will never succeed
>>543860364Truly doomed from the start. I'll probably play it a bit on and off, the AI is functionally retarded which is nice and the game plays alright but it doesn't really hit me like Tarkov does. I do really wish Tarkov would steal the map function, the paper maps are AIDS and the mild GPS and names for teammates is cool, otherwise I'd still want them to retain the realism by not making the map tell you fucking everything lmaoAs an aside, more on topic of Tarkov. I went with a friend just now to hunt Cultists on Customs, we found them, got 'em, and I even accidentally killed Priest. Now I can do Broadcast Part 5, which means I need to go open the marked room on Streets. It ate through 4 stacks of BS rounds.

>>543865589first room had another T H I C C, and there was a Ledx in the second room.
Did they up Cultist spawns?
>>543863175sex
>>543870352Is that a 5.45 AR?
PVRE KINO
>windows baleeted the audio enhancements tab yet againholy FUCK I HATE MICROJEET
>>543870482can't tell myself but that's what twittertards are saying, so probably
Arena match times in Asia are dire once again
>looking for Cultists on Factory with the improved spawns>Tagilla keeps getting in the wayGlad I'm carrying BS ammo because zeroing his plate makes me laugh
When is Nigita opening the floodgates and adding more kino like the M60 or Deagle?
>>543875791Watch out on Factory, they use good bullets and can come from anywhere. No consistent spawn last I heard.
>>543875085Surely just a coincidence :) >>543768443
>>543768443Damn, we finally found the reason why Duckov sold so many copies, banned cheaters migrated to it.
>2015 graphics>2010 mechanics>1800s map design>2016 early access with premium p2w options>EoD rug pull>unheard scam deployed>arena aggressively shoved down everyone's throat >season mechanics inserted>FOMO tactics employed>loot boxes successfully germinated oli sheetYou have no idea of how exciting I think the steam and console launch is going to be.It's going to be absolute kino.I think I'm going to buy it on steam just so I can be a part of the massive refund wave that's inevitably going to happen when the usual start of the wipe fuckery begins :D
>>543880581Can't refund after 2 hours, which is about 5 raids, so people are going to be PISSED
>>543871208>can't wear anti-frag goggles with new ULACHsThis is so gay, they work just fine with standard ones.
>entire LH lobby was boosting melee medalslmao I'll take it
A friend talked me through my first presetI look like a douchebag
>>543885992I can't believe BSG didn't see this coming. Minmaxers WILL engineer the fun out of everything.
>>543891674>Minmaxers WILL engineer the fun out of everything.To be fair having 6 dudes running around with knives was probably the most fun LH game I've had in a while.
>>543891649>I look like a douchebagThen ignore your friend and make yourself a cool looking kit.
>>543891649Kek you look like a fag
>>543891649>loose ammo in ArenaBrother no
>>543891649actually hilarious
>>543891649I never thought I'd see the day that a PvEfag became a PvPfag.>extra ammohahhahaahaha
>>543838314>>543830828you guys are severely downplaying the absolute dogshit vision you have with a killa or altyn visor. You cannot see a fucking thing with them.
>>543906879Killa I can agree with, but Altyns are perfectly usable, unless you catch a bullet with it of course.
>>543907341Altyns are usable of course, but they'll still rape your peripheral vision. It's a decent tradeoff but I am also interested in seeing the usual headphone comparison with the new IEMs, also with two entries for with and without the usage of a "heavy" helmet like the Altyn.
>>543891649Ditch the sissy dress and the gay mask.
>join a Last Hero game>TWO turbowhales running around with the level 100 battlepass skin
Thought it's gonna take longer.
>>543906879You can see just fine with the altyn.
I just hope they can find some middle ground with Altyn helmets, I don't want them to be overpowered, but I don't want them to be near useless like they were before the earplugs got added. It's a shame to have one of the coolest looking helmets of all time in the game and not have reasons to run it.
>>543916458that's the 5th or 6th player with femboy in their name that i've seen in video games this week
>>543916458>Join last hero game>Everyone is doing melee shit>Dont want to ruin the party so I leaveThese devs man
>season 1 rewards show up in PVE once unlocked in the battlepass>season 0 rewards are still missingIncredible.
need a QRD on what the actual fuck the tactical map isand a theta container?
>>543944039>tactical mapThink of it like the paid version of the battlepass, but instead of progressing with XP, you get tokens for doing certain things>kill 9-12 enemies with X weapon type>win Y gamemodeThen you use the tokens to unlock rewards, but you need specific tokens to unlock specific rewards (for example 1 AR token + 1 Last Hero token to unlock the item)> theta containerIt's a better Gamma you can unlock by doing Arena quests.
>>543892204fuck thats good drip. I'm gonna redo mine for kino now.
>>543944439>epsilon powercreeped man, i have strangely fond memories of being excited to get epsilon so i could go run around and stick tank batteries in my asshole
What do we think about 1.0 ? Are big changes actually coming to the game or it is just Nikita jewing us once more with a steam release ?
>>543961475The idea that anything significant will change is almost laughable
>>543961475my guess would be a new broken "endgame" questline, think something like light keeper when it releasedsome new garbage gear, fucking with scav AI for the 12th time and low effort changes to tasksbsg has shown their true colors back then with the unheard and pve debacle, it's only gonna get worse
>>543961475We dont know, BSG has kept quiet so farA few streamers played the demo and glazed it without elaboratingCould go either way, I'll play at release nonetheless
>>543961475Its a last ditch cash grab. It'll be a mild and final real update this game gets. This is how every steam release goes
>>543961475I don't think.
is it true that this game is bad because they took the game and appealed to streamers and NEETS/tryhards who play 8 hours a day
>>543966313Kind of, Tarkov has a special brand of no lives investing it and they definitely hurt the PVP experience when you add cheaters to the mix
are there people deliberately queueing in Arena just for the sole purpose of being that one guy who doesn't ready up every single timeBecause EVERY SINGLE TIME there's one fucker who doesn't ready up
>>543966313No, it's bad for entirely different reasons
>>543966313Its bad for those reasons and many more. I'm an alpha EOD and i honestly wish i never bought this scam. But at the same time its peak gun autism.
>>543966313no it's just plain bad.

500hr 20kd standard account following me around, voiping and prefiring the corners I'm atIf only there were a way to single out the cheaters, too bad the technology isn't there yet

Fell asleep for like 12 hours, sorry for late replies>>543879096>good bulletsI thought you might be memeing, or saying they use stuff like on the tier of BP or something, but I killed one who had Igolnik, one who had 7.62 BP, and another who had PBPThese dudes are NUTS>>543892204Might need to, actually decided to ditch the beret for an actual helmet and I dropped the 9a-91 for the P90 for now until I unlock the Vector>>543894173yeah lmao>>543895862I figured this out so fast that I never live that long, and my K/D is pretty bad so I never end up needing that. Nor do I have the time to do that anyway>>543903108>>543898870thank you>>543913528I figure if the mask gives me even a 1% chance to live longer than I would expect to, I should wear it, but I definitely haven't noticed myself living that longGonna try some more Checkpoint. I'll win a game eventually for To Great Heights part 1.
>>543979849>PPSH oh my god.
>>543980121he said P90.
>>543961475I am going to be the optimist (for this community that's relative) and say while it'll probably be broken as shit upon release, even the little nuggets of info/teasers we've gotten shows that this is going to make .12 look like the hardcore wipe in terms of what changes/is added to the gameBSG USUALLY don't bullshit about what they're adding to the game, even if it ends up getting delayed by a few months to a year to make it in. so assuming this time has actually been used for whatever their version of polish is and making sure everything works good enough for a release candidate, we can expect AT THE BARE MINIMUM>main story with several endings>in raid traders and cutscenes>several new NPC factions (RUAF, UNTAR, Black Division) with unique interactions>2 new maps and expansions for several others>expanded progression system>weapon paints>shittonne of new gear - rest of the AK-400 line, retro ARs, several new modern ARs (CGNL 5.45 and Battle Arms Development Tanker), rest of SVDs, DSA RPD, potentially some wunderwaffes like AN-94 and G11, Marlin 1895, RPK series, vz. 61, Winchester M1895, other Chiappa Rhino variants, several new launchers (FN EGLM, RG-6, GP-30/34, Ferfrans RMGL (don't ask me why they're adding this when nobody uses it IRL), M79), fictionalised variants of guns from Contract Wars
>>543982498>potentially some wunderwaffes like AN-94I'd play the game again just to put my hands on that weapon.
>>543982498>in raid traderswhy do people even want this? it just means you're likely to just die going to see Prapor.
>the gay punisher skull ruining an otherwise A-tier cosmeticgoddamn it niggita
>tfw finally got my designated timmy lobby and scored 4 SBIH kills in a single raid on lighthouse
>>543988912haha sph quest
>>543992546no, pvp
>>543993957suuure buddy
Someone brew the new thread
>>543995989meh
>>543995989smelt it dealt it
>>543980121I learned my lesson. I love the PPSH in pve but in pvp those dudes are all wearing armor that stops the unfortunate bullets. Switched to PBP in an Mp5 and finally got my first win. Hunted enough cultists to finish Night Sweep so now I'm gonna switch back and see if I can win Teamfight.AND IN GOOD NEWS I got my 8th skill to Elite, admittedly it was already at 46 when Softcore started so that definitely helped. The others were already maxed, but I feel great about another one off the list.
>>543999808tripfag, make the new thread
>>543999808Aim Drills? That one's bugged when it's elite.
>>543995989okay>>544002336
>>544002127This isn't true btw
