First for Escape From Duckov
2nd for dying to cheaters while doing the guide/psycho sniper
3rd for forgetting splints
come on... i just need to know... you included the parts for 1.0... RIGHT nikita?
>have to get 11 kills as Enforcer for a daily>go into LH>get 11 (last place)>turns out it was in Teamfight or Blast GangREE
>>544003931m110 would be fucking tits.
>>544004194I always reroll the teamfight/bg ones. Not worth the effort
>>544005825Yeah wow I played a round of that, it takes forever and one-life modes are cancer. Rerolled it into 8 kills in Checkpoint. Rerolled my Weekly into 76 kills as Assault in Last Hero. That shit I can do.
>>544005998dropped image
>>544006131>200000 rubles>24 gp>13 bpwhat the fuck am i looking at
>>544006257You are looking at a man who is not good at Tarkov PvP
>>544002526Duckov and Tarkov, hand-in-hand blowing Shart Raiders the astroturfed Nexon slop out of the water.
Soul is back on the menu.
>>544012896How effective are the earplugs, anyway? I haven't seen any comparison videos.
>>544013747They're very fucking good, Comtac 4 levels good, I would say.
>>544013789Well shit. I guess it's full coverage helmets all day every day from now on then. What ref level are they on?
>>544013941Level 3 for 11 GP coins
>>544014005Do you have to unlock them any other way? My ref is level 3 but I don't seem to have them. Are they in the Battle Pass or something?
>you can equip NVGs on new ULACHs that come with a mount>they don't actually work ingame>you also can't flip them up/down with a keybind or by right clicking the helmet, you have to double left click the helmet and then right click the actual NVGsSasuga, BSG...
>>544014305I think they're level 20 in the battlepass.
>>544014328It's fucking wild how they still manually set every single fucking item interaction/compatibility in the fucking game. Like how FUCKING hard is it to use a tagging system so for example a quest that says "get kills with pistols" just fucking checks for pistols instead of every single motherfucking pistol having to be manually entered, inevitably resulting in random ones, especially newer ones, being forgotten and not counting
>>544014379holy shit I'm never gonna make it, I hate arena.
>>544014708Just do dailies and weeklies (reroll for only last hero/checkpoint) and you'll be there in a few days. Grinding outside of dailies/weeklies is a meme and gets you fuck all for time invested.
>*destroys your game*Nothin personnel, tovarisch...
>>544016605Man, I'm just muscling through my LH weekly and all it comes with is .01 for Ref. I hate the rep system.
>>544017916Post progress. Do not give up.
>>544003931They probably won't even include the A 545, despite it being already scanned and likely fully modelled.Exclusive guns on Arena Battlepass will be the next thing.
Should I buy this game when it releases on steam, is it actually worth getting into? I have about 80 hours in Arena Breakout infinite, I cant stand the bot operators and scavs griefing the PvP
>>544024658Pirate SPT. See if you like it enough, consider if the pros of player interaction would outweigh the cons for you, then make the decision. Release will probably be a lot of suffering for anyone new, so mentally prepare yourself for assrape if you decide to play. It's one of the fun games out there to have your first couple or so hundred hours with if you can get past the initial entry barrier.
>>544026220>It's one of the fun gamesthe most fun*
Is it the case that we can now buy Lega medals from the Flea, transfer them over to Arena, then transfer them back to buy Lega-exclusive clothing after the EFT wipe in November?
>>544026978it would be weird if it weren't reset, since you can also vendor lega medals
What is this?>>544019110I finished the weekly, got two dailies that were both Capture 11 points and I did those, and win 1 game which I also did. Currently just playing checkpoint with a friend for skill exp in PvE without having to go Cultist hunting right now.
>>544034460It's a token you need to unlock items on the tactical map
>>544035210Oh, I do not have the tactical map, RIP
>half of the lobby with rank other than D+>one was BWhat's with the sudden influx of mentally ill in Arena?
>get a ref drop>it's thisPLEASE tell me this is in the base game
>>544042140All items are in the base game except gun camos obviously. Also the NeoSteel is class 4 now.
>>544042568Holy fuck, so he's gonna sell me this shit? I'M ON MY WAY
Will I be able to transfer my battlestation account to my steam library?
>>544047295Of course, you just have to buy the game again, comrade)
>>544047408It's nyover.Guess I will buy Escape from Duckov on steam then.
>>544047295No you have to buy it again, you can get the cheapest edition but it's still a scam. Honestly please don't enable Nikita's dirty tricks ESPECIALLY when he could've provided free keys or small paid Steam "conversion" to current owners.
Are the reskinned ulachs helmets and shit also accessible in the base game or is it an Arena only thing?If they are in the base game, do you need to grind Arena to get them or are they available for every schmuck that has access to ref?
>>544049489I am sincerely hoping this whole thing backfires on Nikita and Tarkov has a very underwhelming Steam launch, but when I remember that this retarded playerbase is willing to still upgrade to Unheard or buy out the entire battlepass, I wouldn't be surprised if more than half of the playerbase buys a Steam key anyway. I don't think I've seen so many people saying please and thank you when getting fucked in the ass like that in any other game.
>>544049882>unlock item in battlepass>you can use item in arena>you can buy item from Ref
>>544050141Will these items will stay available after 1.0 drops/Battle pass S1 ends, provided you unlocked them?
>>544050867yes dude why would they add some FOMO bullshit if they were to remove it later? especially when said FOMO bullshit can be bought by whales? imagine the absolute butthurt from those people if they were to boot up the game after 1.0 and find their stupid skins gone.
>>544051039I just ask since I've been MIA for a few years now and you can never underestimate BSG's retarded decision making.Anyways, guess I'll give to grind Arena just so I can GWAT larp for a few raids, c...can't wait.
>>544057418these numbers ont get beaten by niggita btw
>>544057418I was just playing now, I finished building the gym at the base and just unlocked the kitchen.There was a berserker giant white duck with a double-edged axe that almost killed me.
>>544058616Just dodge with [Space]
>>544058783I ran away and sprayed him with the ak-74u, took three magazines of the shitty ammo.
>>544057793Nikita the visionary already knew Duckov was the next big thing in the PvE scenehttps://www.youtube.com/shorts/w4qrksjTdaY
I played Arena today and when I switched back, I had gotten a bunch of Heavy Vest, Light Vest, Crafting, Hideout Management, and Weapon Maintenance exp. Is this normal or a bug?
>>544058616Keep the axe because you will have missions to kill boss/pmcs with that axe later.
>Night Factory>going and looking for Cultists>spawn in>hear a LOT of footsteps but no voices>throw a grenade>hear BEARs and USEC>kill 2 BEAR as the USEC start firing on them>suddenly tons of silenced fire>Cultists kill the USEC and try to kill me>end up surrounded by corpses after a near death experience that cost me an arm and almost a leg
>mag of ppbs>hit a guy 6 times in the thorax area>71 damage, 182 armor damageam I missing something or is 545 just absolute dogshit, shouldn't ppbs pen through everything?
>>544065212I got a weird interaction today where a guy shot me with m80a1 once, nearly obliterated my T5 plate but dealt 0 flesh damage
>>544065212Igolnik is the second weakest round in the game, armor mitigates damage
>>544065212PPBS won't even 1-tap heads reliably at range. Sell it to the traders for big money instead!
>page 10
>>544082205it's the end of the thread as we know itand I feel fine
>fail the stupid captcha when buying something from traders>flea banned for 10 minutes>can't buy from traders eitherEpic, next mistake is the death penalty I presume.
Bravo Nigita.
>>544085839>timer goes to 0>try to sell something>get kicked out of the flea>banned for another 30 minutesIncredible game.
>>544065212ppbs is dogshit and a trap, normally I sell it to traders but you can actually sell it on flea right now which may net you even more money. 7n40 is the thinking man's choice, MUCH better round.
>>544082205>page 10we're going to have to rebrand into a Duckov general
>>544090183/efdg/ doesn't have the same ring to it...
>>544090183Duckov is unironically more fun than Tarkov
>>544090689I know, I can't stop playing it
>>544091052I just got to the third map I didn't expect it to be so big
>shoreline, pouring rain>running towards smuggler base, at the railroad>oh look a dead body, poor bastard must have gotten spawned on>about to loot him>wtf this guy is alive>blast his head off>fully decked out lvl6 armor, Mjolnir with a FLIR>he was just prone with his bigass backpack on and didn't hear me in the rain>he was a ttvfagkek, turns out FLIRs are only like 200k right now but it still feels great. Then in the smuggler base I got the drop on an arena enjoyer who had those fucking earbuds with the penis helmet. Why the fuck would you waste those on a penis helmet and not on something cooler.
Did a recent update fuck scoped performance more? Aiming down a scope was super fucking choppy, way more than usual.
>>544064665>pve
>page 10Have a pity bump
>>544110250Just fucking crazy that they didn't do any kind of end-of-wipe event on the last wipe before release. So it feels unexpectedly dead despite such a big happening right around the corner. I had been doing lots of loot runs all through the start of october to stockpile cash expecting at least a zombie event, but now there's nothing. I still haven't seen a single pumpkin basket on any scavs
>>544086520they have no excuse now
>>544110981buh muh softcore wipe :(
JFC yeah I feel like something happened recently, I get like -20 fps when I scope in on shoreline. A few weeks ago I think only streets was causing big stuttering issues for me when scoped.
>>544002336glad to see this thing is finally coming out on steam, you'll join me on my PvE raids right?
>>544116469I think I figured it out, my CPU is probably too shit. I've got a rzyen 7 3700x, that's probably way too old these days. I'm debating between a 5700x3d and a 5800x3d. It's about a $150 difference between the two so I wonder how big a difference in performance there really is.>>544122673>pveno, you WILL come to gz and experience the real game. I for one am always willing to group up with other soloCHADs in raid.
either most people I queue with are cracked, cheating or just luckyfourth 1 tap head, jaws/eyes I get while running, strafing or jumpingI understand getting headshotted during a spray or if I'm standing still, but holy shit, these guys are unstoppable
>>544124668don't sweat it too much, at this stage of the wipe basically everyone who is left playing are turbosweats. I've been running into 3k+ hour people all weekend.
Okay, who fucking did it? You were told NOT TO MAKE THREADS ON /v/. No way all of those fudd replies are organic btw>>544124423Performance difference isn't worth $150. Maybe $25 or $50 max but at $150 you may as well put the difference toward an am5 mobo or ram for a future build
>>544127253it was me
>>544128751liar
>put on streams for twitch drops>every single streamer using twitch tiger stripe paint
bros am i really going to have to reinstall and play arena? I fucking hate it and was shit at it before but some of the bp rewards look like they may be worth
>>544131794Just play Last Hero and it doesn't matter if you're shit, completely write off victory and focus on learning and/or fucking around.
>>544131794No thanks I only like the extraction shooter and aesthetics elements of Tarkov
>>544131974Meh... fine, although i just realized that i should wait until wipe so I can keep the gp coins. goddamnit i need a better gpu but think im gonna have to start the wipe with shit performance, not like that's anything new I guess.chances of xmas event starting earlier this time? why can't they just start it in fucking december and let it go until february? it's the best time of year to play tarkov. shit, come to think of it, since snow was added to the winter wipes they've been the only wipes i play anymore
What's this gonna end up being on Steam, 50 bucks?
>>544136374awww he's sleeping :)
>>544136374This is what a man who hasn't survived a single raid that day looks like.
>>544131794Considering how popular the earplugs are likely to be, I'm sure you'll find them on corpses of dudes with big helmets. Otherwise, you can just grind Checkpoint/Last Hero for exp since Teamfight and Blastgang blow HUGE dicks, and not even the good kind.>>544095757PVE more fun than PVP (i am bad at pvp)
>99%Huh?
>arbitrary buff for AP-20 to make it actually useful in Arena>no such thing for 7N31 so 9mm SMGs other than the Vector are just complete fucking ass>also let's kneecap the MP7 and remove 40 rounders because fuck you
>>544140927AP-20 really needed a buff, 9mm SMGs are still good, MP7 needed a nerf, simple as.
>>544140927Same for .45 ACP, no buffs so even at 1100rpm it's complete trashThey also somehow buffed SMJ SXAnd enforcer cannot use laser pointers on 90% of weapon anymoreThe devs are just clueless, it's that simple, you shouldnt take this game too seriously
>>544141160>AP-20 really needed a bufftrue... that wasn't my point>9mm SMGs are still goodonly the kektor, the rest are really mediocre. only real saving grace is drums but 1. drums on anything but a machine gun are gay and 2. they aren't enough to salvage the fact that 9mm is a bad round against the armour in play. something like 43-45 pen would always make sure you can penetrate the original gimp masks (alternatively just remove the gimp masks from every class but enforcer like they should have done)>MP7 needed a nerfyeah but that would've been to remove AP SX and make the 40 rounders a bit more expensive. without the 40 rounders it has little going for it over the P90 which has nearly twice the capacity and really similar performance to FMJ. an extra 50RPM, but that's about it>>544141916yeah I swear the balancing for Arena gets worse and worse every patch. all the previous couple of iterations needed was removal of gimp masks, enforcer getting the capacity to put on a bit more armour + slightly less shit ammo for MGs, and increasing the cost of the SR-3 enough where you have to give up something to run it.
>add a bunch of random new parts>don't put them on traders???The handguard comes in 4 lenghts, both red parts also come in black and fucking yellow.
>>544142874And where do I get those?
>>544143021
>>544142874oh thank christ I was terrified they had put more SI slop in the game but you're just playing the cope version
>>544143291>you're just playing the cope versionIt's in PVP, dumbass.
>>544143319I just checked the handguards on my M4 preset, you're lying
>>544143351Works on my machine.
>>544143291>haha surely it's not on the real tarkovbro did you just wake up after a coma
>>544144248>base version locked behind Lightkeeper>now works with ears>zero downsidesEveryone is going to run this shit when 1.0 comes out, it's fucking incredible they managed to find a way to powercreep the fucking CQCM masks.
>>544143443>>544144248>it's realI'm sorry anons, haven't played the main game since I prestiged, logged in and bought stuff for workbench just to confirm, it's not in arena for some reasononly the dead can know peace from this evil
>>544144801>it's not in arena for some reasonI suspect they accidentally added them too early, considering you can't buy them.
>>544144801At least you won't be seeing it often, the longest one still has worse stats than the M E T A handguard and only works with the 18" and 20" barrels, not the M E T A 16" Hanson
>>544142874VGH... SOVL...
>no Ref lootboxes in todays twitch dropsIt's over
Arena sucks.There, I said it.
>>544162989It's not like that's a hot take or anything.
So, anyone got a magnet link for a working torrent? I'm not giving Nigkita a dime.
>>544127253jesus that thread is so shit, but it's little wonder that tarkov remains so controversial. I would bet good money that if you had complete transparency on the situation you would see that 75% of people who complain about cheaters are timmies who played for like 3 months and got dabbed on because they did no research. These retards also fail at other games, but the fact that tarkov actually has consequences it's 1000% more frustrating. Actually, every controversial aspect of tarkov really comes back to the idea that you lose everything when you die and by extension your entire stash can be reduced to 0. And the means by which you die are a single bullet, you'll die so fast that you have no idea how/why it happened if you're new. I can't think of a single modern multiplayer game that comes anywhere close to that. And on paper people say they want that, but they don't want to be the ones doing all the dying. People complain the most about two aspects of tarkov: the cheaters, and how esoteric and "wiki-oriented" it is. In both cases these are fundamentally related to the fact that you lose gear when you die, and that dying comes very easy.Cheaters: every fucking game has them. Every fucking single game these days, but when someone cheats in battlefield and kills you, you just respawn in 5 seconds and it doesn't matter anymore. Or you just leave the match and move to another lobby. In other comp games maybe your ranking gets affected by the loss of a match, but those scores often have guardrails in place where movement in either direction isn't very significant once you've found your "home". But cheaters in tarkov can actually take your shit, so it's more frustrating. But the more interesting part of this is how quickly you die, and with so little information. Since people are super upset when they die, and have no idea how, it's easy to blame cheaters.(1/2)
>>544167037(2/2)Wiki: I'll agree that tarkov is a wiki game, the quests are basically made with wiki pages in mind. But again this relates directly to the extremely low TTK and the high stakes on death. But allow me to make an argument: no matter how immersive and well designed the quests could be, people would just read the wiki anyway. Everyone has this pie-in-the-sky concept of what a "good" quest is in gaming, but even if the traders told you some super cool and immersive instructions on how to get to the quest spot, or did something neat like call you on a radio in-raid to guide you where you need to go, the fact that tarkov's stakes are so high means that people aren't going to risk taking time with the immersion and will just wiki where the objective is so they can beeline to it. Given the stakes, people want perfect information on the task before they do it. The only think in-game that could match a wiki would be to add a fucking quest-marker on your HUD like skyrim, and that's just aids because it pollutes your HUD. Same goes for all the game maps, it doesn't matter if you could press M and pull up a detailed map of the area, the best option will still be to have it open on a second monitor so that you can play AND look, and don't have to make sound opening the map. Just saying that given the high stakes, those tools are absolutely a part of the game and the people who don't use them will always be at a disadvantage.All that said, /v/ just has shit takes on fps games and multiplayer shit in general anyway. So much of the userbase is caught up in trying to be cool so they endlessly suck the dick of oldfag games like quake, UT, and tribes despite never having played them. And if they did, they'd have the same complaints that they do of modern games ("wtf sweats ruined it, fucking metafags. wdym I have to look up guides on how to do tech and learn every autistic detail of the maps"). 1.0 dropping will be fun, gonna be a lot of butthurt
>>544167037>I can't think of a single modern multiplayer game that comes anywhere close to that.isn't dayz exactly like tarkov, but even more tedious since you have to run for 30 minutes after dying?at least in tarkov you can extract and don't need to build a gay base to hide your shit, which most likely gets raided when you're offline
>>544127253Link the thread so I can tell people not to buy this dogshit game
>>544167938>>544167037If they used the map system exactly from Arena Breakout, people would actually use it. Also an indicator over your teammates. He dropped the hyper-realism for just being "immersive" so it would be nice.
>>544168118>>>/v/724201903
>>544167951It is you're right, but I think the expectations are different in those games. In DayZ and Rust since your shit is held in your base, which like you said will def get raided in some cheap way, it's easier for people to accept that they're going to get wiped out eventually. Tarkov's stash is 100% "safe" so people have the idea that it will simply build up over time, or that progress is guaranteed. I think the gameplay of tarkov too makes people compare it more to your typical multiplayer fps than to open-world survival/crafting games. That comparison means that people have totally different expectations going in
>>544168482I've never played ABI but the little map page you can pull up is nice in that you can click on shit for descriptions. But it still requires you to open a menu, which means you aren't able to watch for enemies. Why not have the map open on your second monitor and just glance over at it? I can't tell if ABI has a little marker that tells your current location, but I don't think tarkov should have that. The map displayed should be totally static, and just list where the extracts/spawns are.>indicator over your teammatesplease be trolling, holy shit
>>544168513Thanks
>>544169508Nope, not trolling. I do consider knowing where you are, where your extracts are, and indicators over teammates all a massive plus.>why not second monitorYou can, I just won't
>>544170923Your map ideas aren't too gamebreaking, eventually every good player knows exactly where they are and doesn't need a map anyway. But the teammate overlay is just retarded. Squads don't need more advantage over solo players. A big part of a solo player's strategy is to confuse the squad, I bet you'd like the ability to revive your teammates too. Makes no fucking sense.https://streamable.com/d4ya5m
>>544127253>get a 5700x3d insteadyeah I think I will, coming to the same conclusion. thanks for the rec
Softcore made the game so fucking aids, 5 out of 5 raids on shoreline people are running FLIRs because they're 200k on flea. And I just had a fucking 4-stack of dudes run past me, thank god I didn't shoot at them when I thought it was only 2.
This webm is sponsored by 5.45 BP
>>544178016Are you sure that's 5.45? The recoil seems a little low!
Found a pristine SIG slop in a toolbox, thank you Xi...
>>544179683Mine's still pristine because I can't afford spraying L-sized AP bullets
>>544171767Reviving would be neat, but I feel like TTK in Tarkov is so short you'd rarely save anyone. Maybe give Defibs a use where you can revive a teammate but it takes a bit and uses up the item. Cant put them in spec slots or up your ass of course, full risk.
>be me wearing T5 armor in lab feeling nigh invincible>open door>immediately take two loads from MP-155 to the face>90HP gone
>armor>to the face>90HP gone from a 35HP head hitbox?????
>>544182386Anon... are you saying people lie on the internet? Also>Raiders using an MP153
I only play SPT and Duckov hehe
>>544167037>>544167938Uhhh idk I'm still gonna play pve, I got 2 confirmed reports for cheaters my first week of playing on low level ground zero(and i was barely reporting people, those were just blatantly obvious ones).And aside from that if you aren't getting killed by cheaters you're getting killed by people with thousands of hours. Not a fun experience to gear up, load into customs, and die a minute in because some prestiged loser rushed my spawn since he knows the map and spawns by heart
How is the voip situation in Tarkov? Do people still chat and shoot the shit/group up with randos or has it mostly blown over? Coming from ABI nobody talks at all and it's honestly kind of depressing, especially when I play covert ops (scav mode).
>>544188746Scavs are definitely more likely to interact with VOIP, it's unfortunately very rare between PMCs nowadays because almost everyone is a no fun allowed faggot refusing to engage in any form of banter during a fight (it might give away their position and put them at a heckin disadvantage!!)
>>544189014Well at least it's alive to some degree, better than ABI. The scav life seems more interesting anyways.
>>544188746VOIP is by default off in Tarkov and normies can't be bothered to change settings
>>544185524will duckov tide me over until Arc Raiders launches?I was considering pushing through and getting kappa/prestige before 1.0 but I'm on TD3 and while I could absolutely knock it out I have come to the conclusion that I would rather blow my head off irl than play lighthouse
>>544049972gamers universally love being treated like ATMs that only dispense moneyThey did the whole "erm actually Arena and PvE aren't DLC" and got away with it, rest assured they'll turn a fatty profit on people rebuying (especially a bunch of people rebuying on Steam just to give it a negative review)
>>544190717>VOIP is by default off in TarkovYou mean the ability to use one's mic, or the ability to hear others?
>>544185524Most expensive stuff I found was a 10k GPU...
>>544193104I mean it's a top-down shooter instead of an FPS. If you like that and extraction mechanics then yeah, it's a good indie game. I'd reckon there are around 40 hours of contents before you hit end game grinding, though I did progress quicker because I played the demo
>>544195951I'll say this, Duckov is a lot more enjoyable than this piece of shit Zero Sievert.
Almost got killed by the invisible nigger in J-Lab. Fuck that shitNoped right out of there
>>544196781Zero Sievert development is just too slow. I last played in 2023 and since then they've added jacksquat
>>544169136The end goal for a lot of people in Tarky was to always accumulate as much shit as possible in their stash. Maybe you're right in that there's a mental disconnect, seeing their stash with permanence, as opposed to transience. Really fucks with people and makes them very upset when anything gets lost. >>544177745Yeah I had no idea what the FLIR situation was like, I hadn't played in a while and made the mistake of going night woods without one as one of my first raids, someone jump scared the fuck out of me by shooting me in the asshole from a distance I couldn't see before he found the angle to finish me.
>>544200740Solution: tax the hoardersYou pay tax on the total value of your stash every day
>>544138757Chances the earplugs get nerfed not to work w/ full coverage helmets? I still can't believe BSG is niggering the game balance with those.>>544128751Pretty sure a lot of replies were from anti russia shills or some shit>>544172271I mean if you could find a 5600x3d, that's even better but they're rare and not worth more than ~$25 over 5700x3d either.>>544187632Pve/spt is good when you're a solo noob but that shit gets stale after hitting lvl ~35 once or twice. It just can't compare to the highs/lows and adrenaline from pvp. Good as training wheels and some mods like visceral dismembement are awesome though.
I need a better gpu. Anybody playing with a 5060ti or anything else worse than a 4070 and still get 60fps scoped? People still charging retarded amounts for used nvidia cards (not going with AMD yet). Also WHY IN THE FUCK is 32gb ram not enough anymore? Are they talking about non-x3d cpu's?
for the fucking love of god remove the tinnitus sound effect when hit in the helmet
>>544203417I've been thinking of getting back into pvp since SPTs performance is so bad. How is the game right now? I played like 2 wipes about but only got to around lvl 20, I'm a big noob
>>544204474I could scope fine in everywhere but streets with a 11700k and a 2080ti before I built a new PC.
>>544207817Well shit. Any idea what was fucking your streets performance? Like did you have 32gb decent ddr4?
>>544203417>Chances the earplugs get nerfed not to work w/ full coverage helmets?I doubt it, I noticed they changed the Airframe with Chops to no longer work with Comtac V/VI but they work with the Earplugs, so I think this is the intent.
>>544208991I did have 32gb, was good ram. Streets ran like shit and I found myself not being able to feasibly use scopes, was noticably sub-50 fps. Felt quite bad.All other maps including Reserve was fine, it was just streets that shit the bed for me.
>>544187632sorry you got dabbed on by cheaters, but you gotta look at it objectively that probably only 10% of your deaths are gonna be to cheaters. As a new player, the rest are going to be from not knowing the game, if you get knowledge checked in tarkov you're gonna think the other guy is cheating for sure. How did he know I was there? How did he hear me? How did he instantly headshot me like that? Couple that with losing your gear and feeling "stuck", the learning experience in the game is especially brutal. But that's just how this game works. But instead of people saying "the learning curve is way too steep" they'll just say that there's too many cheaters and that's why they didn't succeed. For better or worse, it's a game where you need to pay your dues. If the learning experience itself and finally overcoming the odd that are stacked against you isn't fun for you then it's probably not a good fit. I think if you stick around in pvp long enough, you'll realize that with some game knowledge it's actually easier to close the gap between you and the sweatlords than you think.
Should I
>>544204474>>544207817I have a 3070 with 32gb RAM, but my cpu is just a 3700x. So I'm upgrading that because I think that's what's bottlenecking me. Honestly it may be a CPU issue for you too, from what I understand the x3d cpus are the way to go for tarkov, get one if you don't have it.
>>544211298>200kThat's like 4 times all my savings
>>544209621Fuck. Guess I'll find out soon enough. 2070s is getting long in the tooth but you're basically confirming that my cpu is borderline as well.>>544211352Yeah I've got the 5700x3d, fclk 1900 with 32gb @ 3800mhz. It's mainly scoping that fucks the game for me so I haven't played much since February. I remember shit was generally janky after the customs rework and not sure how much was simply due to their spaghetti code at the time. I know their ai got more demanding and bsg poo-pooed the performance complaints at the time so who knows how much worse things will get next wipe. Recommending 64 fucking gb ram? What in the literal fuck?
I bought Duckov.
>>544213894Should have tried the demo first
>>544214000Didn't see one on steam
>>544214116Oh okay. I forgot it's limited time. Carry on then
>>544210678Adding onto this, there is a point where you can realize what mistakes you made, or sequence of events that resulted in your death. It's not easy to check your ego when you get shit on, let alone be able to then objectively look back on what happened.I did a raid today where I killed Reshala at new gas, and I lost my arms and stomach from the fight because I was sloppy, and I was too slow looting so a guy came from the dorms, caught me up close, and could tell exactly where I was positioned due to my making noises in pain. Lost the fight, and everything leading up to that fight contributed to my disadvantage.In fighting games, experienced players will tell you to save your replays and watch them when you lose; sometimes you just get shit on, and being able to see the small details of a match sincerely helps you improve. You can do something similar in Tarkov, if you want, but eventually you'll simply be able to recognize the conditions that resulted in your reasonable death.
>>544213894I didn't buy it but it's easily the better game
odd daily reward
>>544216208holy based, I need the fancy books sometime. No clue why I haven't even seen one ever, but I'm jelly.
>>544214715Not to shit on your write-up there anon, but id add that it's also useful for noobs to just chalk shit up rng. There are plenty of absolute retards playing and enjoying this game, so I've found it's more fun & less stressful to mostly just proclaim rng/bad luck and move on instead of overanalyzing deaths - lest you stray toward the path of the sweaty.
>>544216774>No clue why I haven't even seen one everit's lightkeeper only shit iirc, you get one after 10 tasks in his questline
>>544221587holy shit, I thought it was just a book so you could get it in coats and safes and shit like the blue manual or diary.
>>544179683>nearly flawless
>>544179683>>544180512What do you even do for money, anyway? I'm always poor and everything sells for shit/might be used for something later.
>>544222363That's to let the dragon fly through bro.
Made it to the To Great Heights that needs 3 wins out of 6 games, I do not like this quest
Tarkov dad reporting in. I don't know if I'll be able to get kappa this wipe, I'm only missing these. I should have done shooter born earlier.
>>544222524Keep doing the quests until you unlock Farm Town map. It's a huge map with greatly increased loot quality
>>544222524Best route in GZ as a beginner is this. The house marked X has moderately good loot
>loot the m1 off the NOT!shturman at the farm town lumbermill, see it has 1.7x headshot multiplier>take marksman perk for 15% extra gun damage>take assault 3 and headshot 2 totems for 15% extra damage and 15% headshot multiplier>AP ammo now 1 shots tiers 1-3 and 2 taps tier 4-5 armorluv me battle rifles
>>544247040Yeah it's a good gun for a wide range of content
As much as I like Duckov it's missing the charm of seeing in first person your guy opening his shitty little tin of sprats and just wolfing down a handful. I dunno, I like things like that..
>>544249893True, Tarkov's (or should I say Stalker's) aesthetics are unique
>>544249893I agree, pretty much all extraction shooters that aren't ass have that attention to detail because your raid might just be you dying from a shot offscreen and losing all your shit, so might as well enjoy the little things. Still, it retains the dopamine loot goblin aspect and has enjoyable progression and balance. It's a far cry from Zero Sievert that tries to apply Tarkov's formula 1:1 to a top down shooter with amogus characters and ends up being frustrating most of the time.The only thing I'm missing is inventory tetris and maybe weapon animations.
this the shit I want to recreate in 1.0
>>544262590Why did they put that little thin bit in the barrel instead of just making the M203's barrel clip slightly bigger
>>544262590YWNBAS
>>544262790probably easier + more sensible to redo tooling for a new barrel profile than a new M203 barrel clamp and stops all the old ones from being useless>>544262805? post elo
>>544263018Nah
When are we getting larger mags for the 9x39 guns? Give me a 50rnd'r
>>544263875How about you just learn to aim?
>>544264864I'm not complaining because I can't hold M1 longer, but that I'd like to reload less often and just use the same mag for longer. Same reason I use the 60rnd'rs for AKs.
>>544263875You literally wouldn't be able to get to the bottom of the mag without overheating
>>544266873Good. Reward me for controlled fire and punish me for spraying.
>17 minutes searching for checkpoint in arenalmao no playerbase whatsoever

>>544267982>>entire season 0 unlocks goneIt's even funnier because season 1 items work perfectly fine.
>>544267982>pve synch with arena still completely brokenworks on my machine, especially skill leveling
>>544268101my pve account has literally none of the shit i unlocked in season 0i did one ref box roll and unlocked the neosteel chin shield, not on my pve eitheri unlocked the first cap on the battlepass and it IS on my pvenow i wanna find out of my season 0 shit is at least on my pvp account when i unlock ref
>kill cultists>various random cool items like tank batteries, aesas, vpx, and codes for maps i'm not onI like these guys, not to mention their high quality ammo.
>>544267049No I mean even using it reasonably you wouldn't, the heat buildup is insane and heat dissipation for the VAL/VSS is presently near non-existent. You don't have to magdump to overheat the thing, you just couldn't go through 50 rounds
>>544267195I'm struggling to find a match too, but I also only search for Iceberg because it's very fun. I will defend my magical realm from the encroaching enemies.
Do "scavs" ruin pvp like they do in ABI
They did something to the region selection in Arena. It's like it's just being ignored, whatever you choose. I deliberately try to avoid *ustralians but it's constantly putting me with the niggers in local servers.
>>544279897Funnily enough I was about to post here something similarIm in EU auto and I was having 150 ping, which mean they forced me into a NA/Asia lobby
>>544279687>Get into game>no one but me wants to cap pointsyay..Also what is this and how do I open it? Is it even worth opening?
>>544282269If only this game had a wiki...

pirating some SPT i found on piratebay. Hope its not a crypto virus

>>544286750stims are good. kirasa's good if it's the green one, works for certain outfits.
>>544283967Seemed to run fine and was up to date and... I am in awe in how much worse the guns feel and how much worse the graphics are compared to ABI.Guns make the game feel 10 years older than it really is

>>544288476Are you mad that you had to pour schmeckels for the inferior PVE experience?
>my gamemode against bots is better than your gamemode against bots!Do pvefags really?
I like it already. I didn't realize I only needed Ref 3, so I can finally take a much needed break from Arena. I was able to get the recoil down to 43/127 but the ergo was like 20.
>paypigging 60 bucks for a copy pasted M4Nikita is truly blessed with the most retarded playerbase on the planet.

Spending 60 dollars on a gun that is free is retarded no matter how hard you seethe and cope.
>>544262590Based. Me too.

rate drip
>>544302927Not bad, too bad the gun sucks.
>>544302465I sold all of my Comtac Vs and VIs because I can't tell the difference and get to wear good helmets now. They're an absolute dream, on top of being a 1x1 so (for PvP players) you can probably yoink them super easily.
>>544303145i feel like all the guns 7.62x39 guns feel the same, just that theyre shit because PP is the best youre getting for most of the wipe and BP isnt plentiful even after you get the craft
>>544303336Yeah but the 103/104 are bottom of the barrel shit because you can't get decent recoil with them, no idea why they won't let us use that stupid .308 muzzle adapter AKMs have.
>>544303483rate this drip>because you can't get decent recoil with themhonestly i feel like recoil hasnt mattered for shit in this ame for a while now, unless its something really fucked up like a stockless SA its all just point and shoot while having auto compensation do the work imoi kinda miss old recoil

>>544304213it may not be pretty, but it looks amazing when you're using it.
>>544267195Arena isn't fun
>>544308286Get used to it, because Nikita is going to shove Arena down the throat of everyone even harder from now on with the 1.0 release.Gotta create FOMO so all the new Timmies joining the game feel compelled to buy Arena for the exclusive gear like the TEP-300 or Radian rifle.
Can this shit just release already god damn. No I don't want to pirate SPT that sounds gay I want to cut my teeth in the actual game first.
