>>545791451Kinda. You don’t need 2 weapons to go for a lil looting spree. You need to look in these areas:>Electrical >Commercial >Residential
Finally got a bettina and tried it in the shooting range.It sounds and feels awesome, don't mind the shit dispersion, but 3 shots to break a rotor? Really?The hairpin 2 shots rotors.Bettina should at least do enough damage to 2 shot rotors if not 1 shot them like an anvil.
>fotm dead in 1 week btw
>sir, game hit a new peak player count again
I found a power cell at the electrical substation on the launch tower loot event. Since I was just looting the outskirts I took it and hid it in a bush.
>>545792709i... kneeltoo bad its fake numbers. its all bots. nobody does even get any cheevos
>>545792709holy shit wtf where did those extra 50k come from?
>>545793448Holy based. I assume with a snaphook?Now I wanna try jumping off a roof onto one
>>545793803If you hit them with a showstopper or hornet driver they crash into the ground and you can climb on them
>be eurocuck>want to try the chad NA servers>can get away with my shitty kraut accent on EU but not on NA>stay on my containment server branch>>545793803no, with a showstopper to make the rocketeer fall to the ground, then just get atop of it and he will fly away with you. its kinda hilarious.then just melee it with your pickaxe
do you always keep a hatch key up your ass in case you get lucky, or do you only bring it when you plan on hitting a high loot zone?
>>545793448this is hilarious and the kind of shit I want to see.the fact that the devs thought about this and made it a cheevo is utterly based. never let fun die
>>545793985>>545793945Oh awesome thanks.You probably can jump on them too cause I've accidentally climbed on some hornets while trying to melee them to death but I always fall off immediately.
I am too soft for this game>zip up on top of locked room tower on spaceport>hear someone else is already inside rummaging around>slowly wake my way down the stairs>hear he's got a jolt mine set up on the other side of the door frame >shuffle along on the side where it's not attached>it goes off but doesn't actually stun me>he pushes me but I throw a blaze grenade at him while I unload my stitcher>I down him and he congratulates me, calls good game>I decide to just revive him since he was so cool about it>we extract togetherhe probably got some god tier loot from the locked room too and it could have been mine if I had the balls to finish him off
>>545794123I bring it with a plan to use itBut depending on spawn I sometime decide to not use it if it look safe enough
i just fucked up royally. exchanged friendly emotes w/ raider, and he blasted me in the back... his character was black but i was too far to noticeFUCK. consolet too
>>545794123always keep one, you never know when you need it and they're really easy to make
so whats the consensus on the night audio mode?i like that my weapon and explosions are a bit quieter but rain and shit is insanely loud. not sure if its worth it
>>545793796from the game being legitimately good. good enough that people are recommending it to their friends. face it tarkobsissies... arc won! unrelated (or maybe related) but i just had an awesome night raid mission where a stranger and i teamed up to kill a bastion. my fren died when we got ganked but i killed the ganker then helped another raider beat a different ganker... then we fought another two dudes on the way back to extract together. this game is fucking awesome. one of 2025s must plays
>>545794864I feel like footsteps are actually quieter on night modebut I haven't actually directly compared them
>rank keeps going downgoddamn they really want me to keep pushing more...guess ill have to bring the hullcracker to a hidden bunkers raid
>>545793448I think it's bugged or very generous with how it checks for that requirement. I destroyed a rocketeer and was standing on top of its chassis pieces when I shot down a hornet nearby. Gave me this achievement.
>>545795207You cant compete with trios so dont bother
whats this hidden bunker hullcracker thing im hearing?
>>545795207How do you even complete the challenges so thoroughly? I have like 1 star in all. Do you just go in with a cheap/free loadout, and ignore everything except the specific challenge on a night map?
>>545795192YES thats what I thought too>>545795279interesting. might want to report that to embark so the cheevo only counts when atop of living rocketeer
think that if i stop playing for today 15k points will be enough to get the double rank up? im not sure how sweaty these nerds are gonna be but last week i did that and i woke up to a 1x rank up
>>545795459he's just saying he will go into a hidden bunker event raid and bring his hullcracker because a lot of big arc spawn so he can farm arc damage
>>545795207You can get 5 digits on husks easily running a circuit around the outskirts.
>>545795459there are bastions and bombaclats all over the place. like 20 if I had to guess. and the raid lasts 45 minutes or something so you really can go nuts and farm those trial points
>>545795510yeah I focused on 1 specific trial per night raid.the hardest one for me was the stupid supply pods. 3 supply pods = 4800 score
>>545794403When someone says good game it means they had a good game. No reason to keep them alive their game was good.
>>545795914Alright, I wish you luck with your rank increase.
>>545795605its probably not that its actually quieter decibelwise but that the whole audio spectrum is heavily compressed, making everything else louder too. its likely that its not really that different in terms of how well you can pick footsteps out from all the other surrounding noise because everything else is compressed too
>>545795743on which map preferably? I assume spaceport? theres many husks on that map
>>545795951Could be a great game though!
>Abundance of every basic materialthis is just clogging up space and I can't spend them to make a lot of T2 stuff like shields or Augments, what's the point?
>>545795615>>545795761i see, is it safe to farm or are people also gonna get in the way as usual?
>>545796215they'll probably be too busy trying to do the bunker puzzle
>>545796159you'll use up a lot if you make t2 guns and attachments
>>545796075Yeah I did spaceport, during an electromagnetic storm and nobody wanted to hang around outside to mess with me.
>>545796215its never truly safe by design, but I assume people want to do the bunker event most of the time. theres always nerds who want to cause chaos though.but the event takes place at night though (at least when I played it) so its a bit easier to stay in the shadows
>>545796308perfect
>>545796159the fucking upgrades for your base are such a bottleneck its insaneI love shoving rusted gears up my ass
>>545792709Wow, that is insane. Can't wait until the new content comes in. I wonder how Tarkov will impact the playerbase.
>>545796383they still need topside shitit feels like metal parts are the only thing really worth keeping
>sitting on a pile of valuable shit i literally cannot use because my benches aren't upgraded
>>545797053you only need metal and rubber parts to make ferro 2s and stitcher 2s
this game is not worth playing until they get these fuckass NA-west servers unfucked.
>>545797509what do i do with the rest of the shit
>>545797758NA west fine on my end
what the fuck is wrong with nvidia shadowplay.the replay recording never fucking works
>>545797758works on my machine
>>545797758ive noticed some bad dysnc with my bullets, they need to get that fixed asap. not just with players but with the AI too.
is arpeggio good
>>545797771explosives, medicals
let me turn off the fucking lantern on the paypig backpack
>>545798249its alright at medium to longer ranges. nothing to write home about though
>>545796159Start using your refiner and you'll understand.
>>545797771other guns and attachments
>>545798249Nigga talmbout >is the arpeggio goodFoh
>>545798325you get what you deserve
Some guy thought the me that was talking and the me that was shooting him were two different people. Just had a full conversation where the guy told me exactly where I was and was letting me know he had been downed by me and everything. Very kino.
Did anybody figure out hidden bunker download puzzle?
>>545798878i had like 10 other retards w/ me when i tried and we didnt come close
>>545798819Shoot at someone/fire a flare in the air, the run towards them yelling "don't shoot" and "THERE'S A CRAZED GUNMAN ON THE LOOSE!"
>>545798963Same. At least I was the first one in so I got to kill all the fireballs in there while getting my ass roasted.
>>545798987>Spend the rest of the match pretending like a guy is chasing both of you
>>545798249no.
>>545798219the lag between hitting the bots and when they take damage felt like 400+ms even with the constant yellow ping
If they're gonna sell chicken cosmetics at least let him run around with me topside like a Monster Hunter Felyne
>>545798249It's pretty good. I like it a lot. Really depressing at close ranges though, will get outdpsed by like everything. I also don't like it for sniper range either.I think it might be my favorite mid range weapon though.I recommend it for bluegate and spaceport in particular
Is the Toro actually good or am I wasting my time? I have a choke on it
>>545800106Yeah, but it becomes a lot better when upgraded.
>>545800106It's good and upgraded it shoots pretty fast. Just won't beat a vulcano.
>>545792149>Never played extraction shooters because I think wipes are retarded>Heard this one doesn't have forced wipes, instead resets are optional and give bonusesCan I get a quick rundown on how it works?
Am I just retarded or is melee dogshit
>>545800572Make me cum first and then I'll tell you
>>545800689pretty sure it barely tickles, they should add a melee weapon imo.
>>545800572As far as we know, you keep you base upgrades and you lose your levels and blueprints.In return you will get skins and/or extra skill points and/or extra stash space
Fucking seconds surveyor that ran out of bounds.That's it I'm bringing the remote explosives.
Stitcher fucks I killed someone when I had no shieldPEW PEW PEW
>>545800901you lose your workshop levels too, just not the benches.
>blue gate village>see somebody in the street being chased by a fireball>shoot out of my window and kill it>slink away through the alleyways without interacting with him
Everyone is solos are so chill and squads on the other hand is fortnite
>>545801059sir, your hornet drivers?
>>545801393Solo is chill until you face your first betrayal from a sociopath with a mic...and that changes you
>>545800689It ignores shields but it's meant as a last resort. Though my first kill was free kit ferro + melee.>>545801318Love that feeling of being the Toledo Mysterious Stranger popping an arc and vanishing.
>>545801543>trusting anyoneI keep my encounters in solo brief and never with my back to themIf they start acting squirrely, they get shot, simple as
>The virgin free loadout retard VS>The chad empty-raider go-getterGoing completely naked is unironically extremely fun.
They should add a queue cooldown if you down a nigga in solos so us devious niggas can bait pvetards into getting put into cuck timeout.
>>545801318I do this all the time. Then I get shot by the person I saved who is running a free kit
>>545800901>>545801113So you upgrade your crafting table or whatever, it's permanent? Like I said, never played these games before so I don't know shit. But if the resets are less cancer than other games, I'll give it a try.
>>545801785>when you're so pvp brained you're demanding players get locked out of playing the pvp game if they pvp
pour one out for the unfortunate soul who died to ARC with this blueprint on him
>>545800689for free kit on free kit violence it could be worse, but generally you want to be using your guns if possible.
>run into some guy going the opposite direction>has his gun out>hey don't shoot>hey don't shoot>sprint past eachother>i get a bad feeling and turn my camera backwards as I keep sprinting>barely a second after we cross eachother he pivots hardand then he was dead. Sperged out on voice chat too.I don't know for sure if he was planning anything but what the fuck did he expect
>>545802146They're not exactly rare. I've found half a dozen of those.
>>545802146Thats what he gets for running a freekit

>>545802792NTA but good idea. im going in
Dam is the KoS shitter map confirmed.
>>545801904The resets are completely optional, it's set up as a "project" where you need to build a thing within a timeframe that takes you out of the shithole the game takes place in. this wipes the character and you get a medal or whatever idunno.point is you can wipe if you want to

>>545804112>no heavy weapons or grenades>good gear
>>545803271it was a free loadout, how else do you think he'd die to ARC(and why I didn't even pick up his gun)
where do i get blueprints? really want the anvil bp
>>545804865launch event or random loot or if you have other items people want you can use the link in the op to trade
is pilgrims peak safe to go to or is it another pvp hotspot on blue gate
>>545804865someone explain why you want the anvil bp so bad.you can buy 3 anvil a day. do you really *NEED* more?
people are so friendly on this game. i've only been killed by players twice in solos
>>545805216it wont last
>>545805165theres no safe places on blue waffle
>>545805216are we playing the same game???people stopped being nice the moment they were done with their quests
>>545804112>be freeGOD with stitcher>beam some t3 chud and extract>mfw going from rags to richesTiers are for queers, freeGODS rise up.
we need a new raiders deck. and we need pickaxe skins in it.and finishing moves

>>545804865go to metaforge website, look at dam battlegrounds map, untick everything except raider caches, wait for raider cache event and then go look for them solo.
>>545805552i cant even hate or criticize you, because i do the same thing after i get ambushed by a rat and lose all my stuffthey really need to nerf freekits, the kettle and the stitcher are way too powerful in ambushes
>>545806293They could just have freekit only lobbies.
webm incoming
finally reached the point where i feel "high level", killing big arcs comfortably, blue gear, big stock of hullcrackers, wolfpack and blaze blueprints..
>>545806293>being mad that skill matters more than gear>>545806379>freekit only lobbiesactually based
>>545806293>>545806379rattler 1, no explosives, solo queue only but included into trios, free loadout shame uniform.
>>545806820>being mad that skill matters more than gearExcuse me I can't help but notice you said stitcher, not rattler. Care to explain?
please saars i need 1 more power cable give it to me
>>545807198do not redeem
Managed to extract in the last 3 minutes of a Spaceport night raid. I never thought I'd make it. I teamed up with one guy and we got separated. Then I teamed up with another guy and we got separated too because I stopped to loot an ARC. Then some guy aggro'd all the ARC around the elevator and I managed to get us out kek. Too bad I got shit loot.
Also you can barely hear anyone in this fucking game. I have proximity chat at 200 volume (max) and most people I can barely fucking hear. I don't wanna play with my headphones.
>3rd time getting betrayed after someone asked me not to shoot in triosOk whatever im just killing everyone on sight now.
>Sweaties mad at freekits because they can't seal club in this game easilyGOTY
>>545807710Trios are team deathmatch

should i use the all black pre order armor for advantage or just use what i think looks cool
I love the barricade and I'll never leave spermanza without ever again

Are they going to ban the stitcher exploiters? They're emptying a clip in seconds no one clicks that fast
Niggers who try to kill you when the elevator doors are going up are the lowest scum

>>545808864?
>>545808841skill issue
i love the av1 codec for my clips
>>545809019If you try killing someone in the 3 seconds the elevator is closing, you're an EBT loving nigger and deserve to be blasted
people are friendly again all of a sudden
>>545809314bro mad he didnt learn stranger danger
>>545809314i do this all the time whenever I have one of the "deal xx damage to raiders" feats.this way I dont have to kill anyone and nobody loses their loot
>>545809314There is no way you are able to down & knock out a person in a closing elevator in time.
>>545809314??
FUCK YOU BLOODY PILLOWS SCRAPPY BASTARD
>>545809749upgrading scrappy isnt worth it
>see a raider flare go up>think someone murdered someone else >spot one guy in the area >Gun him down without saying a word>He's full of loot >Can't find the body of the raider I assume he murdered...I think I got the wrong guy
This shit seems like ass.
>>545809749I threw away so many pillows. Just loot more houses or the hospital in buried city
>>545808453that's only for nightmode and even still there are other outfits that can do virtually the same thing in the dark.
>>545809864>>545810074I found 3 pillows and 2 beds in one area a couple of games just after I upgraded the freakin' rooster

can't imagine doing trios with random people desu
I'm the least threatening PvP'er looking motherfucker. The guy I killed was a miscommunication
>>545812060how?do you actively hide from anyone?
>>545812060You're wearing the KoS skin combo
>>545811279trios are extremely retarded, i think maybe 1 in 50 matches ive done have actually done something meaningful. most of them just run around like headless chickens into nonloot zones, rush facefirst into teams, or just solo off into the distance doing quests.
>switch back to dlss from xess>crashes are back on the menufix your shit jensen
I fucking love 30 second matches
I highly recommend electromagnetic storm :)
>>545812554I think players spawn in that house because i've ziplined from that spawn to that exact building and died in less than 15 seconds on a fresh round.
>>545812557i dont. i only get fucking scraps

Just installed, first extraction shooter ever, tips?
>>545798495there's not much there, unless items like magnets are a blueprint?
>>545810885raid was pretty doodoo. got another vulcano and some scraps. no bps at all.picrel is how my t2 torrente deals with chuds
is the shorter breaching time noticeable
>>545813271take free loadout and queue into auto partyshoot any wasps you see, wasp cores are decent money
>>545813619barely. maybe in a side-by-side slowmo comparison.
I ran into my first extraction camper; I saw a jolt mine planted right near the callbox, so I looked around. Found a dude in a balaclava and made sure to thank him for his patience with my anvil.
>>545813271dont be afraid to use and lose gear

this probably goes without saying but if you're out in the Red Lake, don't aggro the Queen

at this point im BEGGING to get bootyblasted so can finally get rid of some resources
Am I the only one who enjoys this game 100x more only doing free loadouts?
is there any point running attachments on the ferro, feels pointless running recoil stuff on a bolt action
>>545814789gear fear faggot
>>545814789no, the global south has billions of people and make up a large proportion of gamers
AHAHAHA
Do these 3rd worlders even feel emotions when they murder people?

Free kits need their own skin, at the very least. Rat niggers will (understandably) throw their life away because they know they have nothing to lose anyway. You have no way to know that.
If you don't bring defibs to solo, you aren't people. I will kill you on sight without remorse. Of course I can't tell if you have defibs until after I kill you but then I'll feel pretty bad about it.
>>545817512>*russian guy calling german guy virginfixed
>>545817252after testing this out I can officially say there's virtually no difference from Silencer II and Silencer III.
>>545817512never defib someone you weren't already pre-friendly with
Has anyone encountered a paranoid balding Raider in the Control tower? He shoots on sight, then apologises by giving you bandages and shields.
People who kill me almost never have a mic. Peak souless third world niggers. I don't even mind getting killed, but at least behave like a human and not like a creature.Its always at extraction btw.

I am too scared to bring my good gear into solos. At least in trios if I go down my team can get me up. If I get ambushed while looting in solo I am just fucked

does the steam join link method work in this game
its over..
>>545819330yes
we need a raider voice comparison to see how the different options actually sound ingame
>>545819330yes post a lobby in NA
>>545819262The worst part about dying isn't even losing your gear. It's having to deal with all the different menus and submenus to make a new loadout. That's a big part of why going in light is so much more enjoyable.
There is no downside to killing players, especially tranny rats.When you kill a PvP chad, you get a free kit.When you kill a tranny rat, you get tons of free loot.

Did you know if you zip down while an enemy is zipping up it knocks them off and they die?
>>545820271you can find sentinels cores in side the crashed ARC couriers too, btw

>>545820274you will both get knocked off
>>545792149I just started playing this game and the experience so far has been>go to an area thats not near a building>get jumped by 2 normal drones and 1 that slows you down>its game over because you deal no damageFucking hate this shit, if you dare explore and go where theres no cover/buildings nearby its basically game over, also do you get more weapons as you level up? The strongest weapon I have available takes like 4 shots to get rid of one of the smaller ones, the stun drone takes like 10 shots, game feels very limited/incomplete and boring, even Breakout Arena feels more "complex" or at least a better ilussion of having more going for it despite it being a free to play game, I already maxed some of my shit, theres no gear other than shields and the fucking backpack to keep you engaged, what the fuck where they thinking? This game could have been great for fashionmaxxing, most of the cosmecits look either retarded or gay, the only thing that keeps it mildly interesting is the human interaction and even then that falls flat because its either "don't shoot" or getting ambushed.All in all this is a solid 5, it's entertaining but might as well just get a job at a fucking factory if you are this bored.
>>545820539>5 mechanical componentsdesu I only run it if I find it in raid, cba spending 5 mechs just for this
>>545820852It fucks tho. It fucks so hard.
>follow me you can revive me at elevator!>guy belly flops off a fucking elevator shaft???
>>545820271Just rush the research and administration building as soon as you spawn, most of the time a sentinel spawns there, if its not there just go to Primary Facility and then the Water Treatment building to see if you get lucky and find a rusted gear. Looks "complicated" but this game is literally grindslop, pretty bad game to be honest

Rush to Checkpoint, go into the car tunnel there, and start looting cars, busses, and those white cargo truck things with the breach containers on the either side. Rusted gears are still rare as hell though, so it'll likely take you several trips before you have the 3 you need.>sentinel firing coreThe sniper turrets can rarely spawn inside the tunnel as well, so you can occasionally get one that way as well.

>>545822025I've heard some say that it's effectively a better Renegade, and others say that it's just a more expensive Rattler, and I don't know who to believe because I don't want to waste mats crafting it in case it sucks ass.

>>545822025people make fun of it because it requires Gunsmith 3 and most people don't have that.
I defibbed a random guy at the extract who got knocked by a chasing rocketeer. It felt good bros. It felt good.
>>545823003They should make a Medic skin
>>545822025people are not making fun of the gun. the gun is nice. but that bp has to have a drop chance of 70%
>>545819865okay so how do i tell which is which
audio in this game is fucked up >>545822607
>>545823073
Combat augment should have a special slot for bullets.>>545823073The problem with the Bettina is that it needs heavy ammo while also being a full auto weapon, meaning you need to stock 2 slots of ammo to keep it fed.If it was semi-auto it'd be an efficiency monster.
Not sure where to go from here. I wanted traveling tinker and now I can make cool traps. Conditioning only seems with it for the right 2 nodes for Breaching doors and containers faster and quieter. I would go for Security Breach but another 26 points in Survival doesn't really seem worth it for 1 perk. Anything that doesn't feel like a marginal improvement when fully maxed?
bettina is just a shittier tempest
guys ive played a few games and havent been killed yet and now im scared to start another one because im scared of being killed what do i do i cant handle that kind of pressure
Would be nice if the maps were kept out of sync so there's always a good chance to join a relatively "fresh" map.

>>545823946i like crouching movement speed. gotta stay quiet around raiders
>>545823946You'll eventually pour points into crouch movement if you're getting security breach so you don't put point in the other less meaningful skills

I'm not sure i'm actually enjoying myself.
>>545824150gun attachment bps are the ones I am missing the most
I KOS.I rat on extracts with traps.I kill people in the extract despite not getting any loot.And there is nothing you can do about it.
>>545824606You have lost your humanity in the process
>load in on bluegate with free kit expecting to find others all pvping, so i can do a raiders feat>can't find anyone>finally run into one, gun him down, whines something in russian blyat blyat>has a bunch of shit on him that i needed, modded guns etci have way too much of a conscience for this shit
>>545824606Last time someones yelled out "friendly" I screamed "murder murder murder" and it felt pretty good
>>545824660It is not enough that I win, you must lose.
>>545824660bro this aint dark souls
>>545824606I had someone begging for his life on trios, but they had just thirsted both of my friends so I executed him. I still feel kinda bad about not hearing him out
>>545824681I ignore feats and get them by accident. The next deck's in december and I'll surely have it done by then.
>>545823215one is aggressive, the other sneaks around and yells DON'T SHOOT
Does this mean I just cant die unless killed by arc/raiders as long as I don't move when downed?
Again I go out in a free loudout, no possible danger to anyone, and someone just shoots me dead without listening to me saying "I'm just looking around". I thought solo faggots were more chill?
>>545824606extremely BASED.pve trannies need to cope and dilate.
>>545825092ARC doesn't shoot you if you're downed, so its more players
>>545825092ya that's my understanding
>>545823946speed then loot, the other one is trash but I'm not sure if there are even any other options if you're going for breach, you will have to take some filler garbage either way
>>545825268Eternal truths in ever game with PVP enabled, pvp is inevitable. No amount of "I'm friendly" will deter them
>>545825092Yes, as long as a player doesn't find and finish you, and you take breaks to regen while crawling, you can literally drag yourself to an extract and get out as raid time allows.
>>545825327They don't but AOEs still hurt from them.
>>545825327a rocketeer can still kill you with a volley after downing you if you get unlucky
You can't outplay gear in this game
>dude hits me a few times with kettler>get ready to mow him down with my torrente>he swaps to a shotgun and ends my lifeI'm mad but he definitely outplayed me
Serious post.I like extraction shooters, but every time I look at clips of this game everything except the scenery looks stupid as fuck. The wespons look stupid as fuck, and the skins look even worse. Are there ANY good player skins? Is there a website to preview them? Maybe my googlefu sucks, but fir all the fucking ravibg anout this game I can't find shit for actual decent information.
>>545825952wat
>>545825736Gear have very little impact if anythingStitcher take 17 shots to kill a medium shield19 for a medium21 for a heavyHence why everyone is freekitting, you're basically 99% as effective as a gigasweat
>Join late into a gameOkay, guess im camping extract, knew taking these trigger nades would come in useful :)
>>545825736Yes you can. All it takes is a free kit with a shitcher

ive played 33 hours and still only use grey/green weapons. what gives?

>>545825952I think the vibe of the game has to be there because it's the secret juice that the entire feeling of the game revolves around. Think about Fallout, without the retrofuturism and 50's vibes it would just be a generic post apocalyptic franchise ie. Metro or Stalker.
So there are bo good player skins or a single website that lists them all?I supose a site that lists all the ones for sale in the mtx store is doubly out of the question?
for me its celeste
>go into the blue gate sewers>Find a shitload of stuff including a few blueprints>Take on a bastion by myself and cheese it>By the time i am done i have 5 minutes remaining to get to extract>All out of heals though>Get lost in the maze that is the blue gate underground>Random roller shows up and explodes in my face, leaving me on very little health>Run around panicking, trying to find the exit>Turn a corner, run into another roller that finishes me off>MfwAt least i safe pocketed the bastion drivers
>>545826240there are some different skins and you get some from quests and playing, but its all this lunarcore nasapunk aesthetic anyway.
>>545826530you know how to have fun
>>545825736hairpin lvl2 says otherwise..land a headshot and the shields are cracked another 2 shots and they're on the floor helps that they have no idea where its coming from too
>>545826698The "vibe" is reddit-tier retarded faggots who know nothing about anything bullshit.>hey wouldn't it be cool if the guns looked like they were from world war one?>hey wouldnt it be cool if every outfit was bright orange and either a fucking weird cowboy thing or a flightsuit?No and no.
>>545826849The thing about the hairpin is that the Renegade does it's gimmick better and because of directional damage indicators the guy being shot at knows where you are.
I’m convinced there’s a cap on blueprints you can get per week/trials cycle. I’m not getting ANYTHING despite only doing night/storm raids
>>545826982In terms of guns, they look the way they do because they are put together out of scrap and duct tape, they are literally makeshift, post apocalyptic firearms, not factory produced modelsI will agree that some of the clothes look dumb, but most of the clothing is probably also scavenged, so they wear what they can get
>>545826530Once you get security breach or try a renegade 3/4 and get hooked
>>545827490nah he won’t. Ferro/Stitcher 4 lyfe
>>545826982The reason similarities to WW1 weapons is because it's a great excuse to do lots of singlefire weapons and ignore magazine reloads which are visually extremely boring to look at, or because they enjoyed their work on BF1 and BFV having alot of weird gun designs and wanted to do it again, or possibly both. If this was a realistic setting it would be 50 different chinese AR clones with STANAG magazines.
>>545826982the clothing is slowly growing on me, the story takes place in a world where everyone fucked off on spaceships, so it makes some sense that there are surplus space suits
>>545827585I have never felt better than when I can kill an entire full hp enemy team in one mag with either of the guns I am carrying
>>545826982I like how a lot of them look
>>545827183>directional damage indicatorsThey need to make it so silenced weapons don't give away your direction, or at least not instantly, or as precisely.

You guys think freekit is balanced? Do you think it'd be better if freekit started you with 0 shield to offset the cheese?
>>545829460it’s underpowered. I hate having to carry freeloaders in my trios sessions.
>>545829460Rats AT LEAST need to have their own skin so you can tell the faggot who's in front of you has nothing to lose.>>545829561>playing with randosgrim
>>545829460It's fine. Balance is extremely subjective, never mind that something being balanced doesn't make it fun.
>>545829460it honestly doesn't matter what we THINK.the devs have METRIC DATA from our gameplay.if the numbers show that something needs balancing, then the devs will do it.
>>545792709I unironically don't believe in some of the numbers solely based around nexon being involved. I do not trust nexon in any way shape or form and no amount of "bro they're not involved will erase them from not being on the fucking splash screen and on the store page.

>>545831068your friend is retarded
>>5458308203
>>545813803Jolt mine at the callbox sounds like a good idea in theory but it actually sucks ass in my experience, I've tried it because I got the jolt mine blueprint and it seemed funny. Best case scenario the raider gets stunned for .2 seconds and you get 1 shot off, then he immediately scrams for cover. Then you have to push him, and it's almost always in a scenario where there are other raiders around or ARC around, lots of possibility for things to go wrong
>>545831068I hate players like that in extraction games, sometimes even if they're hundreds of meters off they still shoot. All it does is attract attention
>do launch tower event solo because people are too stupid>chud kills me right after opening the doors
>>545825952>and the skins look even worseThe skins are so disappointing. I use the one that looks like a fighter pilot because it's the only cool one, but I'm getting a little bored of it. The rest are ugly as fuck though, almost as if it's on purpose

>try NA solo xplay disabled>kos fiesta deluxe
So was anyone going to tell me how insane the loot is in those apartment complexes north of the swamp on dam or did I have to figure it out myself?
>>545833419They're absolutely the place to be if you need residential zone loot. It's where I got my toasters from.
What does this mean?Is the "raider deck" free?
>>545833665yes
>>545833419Eventually you realize loot isn't tied to marked zones but appropriate areas. Some colored loot zones in fact only seem to be given that value for their locked rooms while the rest is slim pickings. The scrapyard on the south end of dam is also one of the best places to get mechanical loot.>>545833665Not all will be free but this one is.
>>545833665it's the battlepass but its really fucking bad
buried city sucks so much, why is this map so 'porous' it's like im playing Monaco in the finals with my monitor off.
>>545833020dam is cancer, 99% free loadout kos kids, i cant even quest
>>545833535I've spawned there 3 times so far as a solo and every single time I've gotten at least one purple. This last time I got the gold mod for the anvil that turns it into a shotgun. It's wild.
every map is cancerdam is probably the chillest one
>>545833853every time i go dam there's some 10:0 nolife nigger popping heads with a rank 4 venator at the control tower.
>>545833952they deserve it, i considered gearing up and killing everyone at dam since its full of freeloadouts pointlessly shooting at everyone.
>>545833853The free loadouts are a pain but i'm more terrified seeing someone treat their venator 4 as a throwaway. That extract camper had NO intention of making it out alive
This duo shows up and hollers "DON'T SHOOT" at your gf, what do you do?
so there's no way to make simple gun parts? i have to farm them? wtf
>>545834597You can also buy at one of the traders, maybe refiner too?
I just had a game where the ARC drones were straight up bugged. WTF is going on with the servers rn?
gonna kill some chonkers now
>>545834397me on the leftmy paypig on the right
>>545834753nexon severely underestimated their server load. the 'server slam' which was supposed to be their GENEROUS estimate of server load is half as many as they needed.
Another day in duos, another time getting matched with trios
time to try out hidden bunker, looks fun
>>545834989The server slam capped at 190k. Who would have guessed in 2 weeks double that would pay money to get in. I had a feeling it would be a runaway success but not this big.
>>545834597Nope, no BP. You can trade for a stack of them daily from Celeste for seeds though. Gotta farm ARCs if you want more.
>>545834983but they're both free loadouts
>>545829460I think it shouldnt get utility gear like nades and have a special outfit, like a bright orange jumpsuitInfinite free kit is fine, but we should be able to identify them
>>545834862rip helped someone kill a bastion, he said thanks and then killed me
>>545834397>30 year old boyfriend>18 year old gfI simply say "based" on voice chat and allow them to Go in Peace
>see a supply drop fall at night when i'm aiming for the trial>walk up and explain I just wanna touch it for the trial>he's doing the same thing>help him find other drops and he shows me where his initial one was>drops me an exodus part for "helpin' out">we extract with 6,400 pointsSo awesome.
Any way to know in advance what materials I'll receive when recycling?
>>545836112look at the window when you click recycle?
Found out people are a lot more friendly when I walk around with this thing in my handsWish freekitters would get a dedicated outfit tho
How dangerous are solo night raids?
WHY ARE MY TEAMMATES SO FUCKING INCOMPETENT
>>545836149I was afraid it would recycle the item if I clicked recycle.
>>545836581Why you running with randos in this game?Solo is the best experience
>>545836520Assume KOS from other players at all times while looting, as most are going for the key rooms.More ARC spawns, which can be a pain if they spot you at an inconvenient time, but otherwise just avoid them with smart pathing as usual.
>>545836727there's a confirmation window that shows you what you'll get
>use mic>tell retards they can have the loot from all the big arc i kill>they loot and kill me2nd game in a rowwhen will i learn
>>545833123damn :(
>>545797045>>545808372Two things to keep in mind1. less than a week til Tarkov 1.0 and the most recent /vg/ thread fell off the board at less than 100 posts and hasn't been replaced2. Tarkov steam numbers won't at all be representative of the player base because the jews aren't giving out steam codes for current owners, so don't use steam charts as any kind of evidence
Freeniggers need to neck themselves immediately
>check out hidden bunker>20 billion squads all in one areauhhhh
>>545837390>Guys don't use steam charts to measure a game's relevance, use activity on a dying kenyan frog farming app's subforum instead.Numbers off steam might as well not exist until developers and publishers start publishing actual player data.
>>545837760>guys invent a narrative in your head then get mad at it
>>545837623jesus christ what a massacre
>>545837390Tarkov could honestly be a Balder's Gate 3 situation; a game that despite spending years in early access launches to huge player numbers and critical success.
Anvil 3 is the comfy budget loadout
>kill a surveyorbest map for this?
>>545837925no one wants to do the actual objective so everyones just fighting for a spot to hide at the door for when someone actually does it, shits kinda retarded
>>545837419I can hear the smoke detector beeping
>>545838304take your pic, there's only one each map.
convince me not to buy this game right now
>>545801543only changed me a little, if i don't have valuable loot i usually give most people a chance to be friendlyif i'm gooped out with no space in my ass pocket the trigger finger gets a bit lighter, or if i'm in a highly contested area, but in general PvP in solos it isn't fun to be the first to shoot cause it's so easy to kill peoplethe most satisfying thing is to get opened up on and then kill the guy and shit talk them after
>>545837813>Also an ESL
>>545801757going naked and just hitting weapon caches is a pretty good way to farm blueprints tbqh, xp is shit, but sneaking around arc and players with no way to fight back is fun
>>545838761you spend a lot of time managing your inventory and crafty stuff and the ui isn't as convenient as it could be
>>545803838i think Buried City is the worst cause of all the enclosed spaces, people get paranoiddam has been the most chill for me and blue gate 50/50
>>545837967Everyone already knows everything that t*rkov has to offer. Nobody's coming back to a dying game infested with cheaters.
>>545804493i assume it goes from 75 points to 80 points (if you have enough inventory value, it goes 1-5 skill points depending) or the bonus is pretty pointless
>>545804865https://metaforge.app/arc-raiders/map/dam hide all, then filter only weapon cases, learn locations, do naked runs looting weapon cases, when you find BP, put it up yer ass
Buried City is the best map in the game. No, I shant be elaborating.
>>545831937>driftcoat or balaclava RyderI’m sorry but I’m simply shooting you on sight. This is akin to having visible black skin and the top knot dread hairstyle. I can hear you smacking your lips from here “my nigga”
Every single player I've met so far started shooting at me on sight.Is this how the game's gonna be like?Fuck that, I'm shooting first next time, too.
>>545839258Is there a reason "URINE G" is highlighted by the shadow?
>>545807710i still haven't been betrayed, it's either been friendly or KOSfag straight up
>>545838939damn, i think I'm still going to get it
We got pincered between two squads and fled into pattern house. From the roof we watched the two squads fight each other near extraction, calling over a rocketeer which downed all 6 of them. 2 still managed to extract. We killed the rocketeer, looted the remaining bodies, and left. Ezpz. Fun round
>>545813772perks like that should be noticeable, cosmetic skill trees isn't cool
>>545839346Just started today, last game had a weird experience in solos where 8 of us grouped up to take out rocketeers and bastions. Nobody even tried to shoot one another. Extracted with like 1:50 remaining, it was intense.Meanwhile I pug squads and it's on sight every time. I've never had a squad experience where we all just didn't start blasting. But like I said I just started today so my experience is limited.
>>545814789nah, if i found a wolfpack BP on a free loadout and got killed trying to extract i'd rage too much, need my prison pocketbudget loadouts are cheap anyway
>>545839827that's about right, solos are chill and groups are team deathmatch
>>545817650what's the point of bringing defib to solo?
>>545840000so you can defib friendly players you met along the way that got downed by some chud
>>545834086you survive past the time limit if you are calling in the elevator. It is kino as fuck. One of the coolest things I have seen in this game.
If I die, can I return to the same location and loot my own body, or will it remain on a different instance of the map?
>>545840115I've fought a bastion with someone, he got downed, and I yelled "I have a defib!" and was able to get to him in time and save him. We then extracted after. Killing someone? Yeah, that can be cool sometimes, but SAVING someone, by exclusively bringing an item meant only for care? That's the best.
>>545820271scrap yard on dam, go in naked (not free), breach every car and container there, you'll get rusted gears, industrial batteries and motors a plenty, put up ass, extract or die, rinse and repeatas for the sentinel, at the bottom corner of Research & Administration building in Dam there's a 50/50 chance of a sentinel or turret spawning on the outside by the stairs, just rush there with budget loadies and kill it until you have the parts
>>545840252The latter
The second person I have accidentally killed while playing this gameHe literally jumped.I had to defend myself
>>545840589go live and show me how you play this game.its impossible for me to not get shot in the back or jumped at by someone hiding in the dark
>>545840734EU?
>>545839346The vast majority of games I get are pretty friendly. The chances of getting shot at increase after taking a obj like a Leaper or Bastion, accessing a popular point of interest like key locked areas, extracts, or being close to a micless player for an extended period of time. I prepare to shoot No-mics if they don't respond to me or act shady. Watch your fucking back and bring traps to at least make it harder for them. Assume everyone is trying to kill you, but just working up the nerve to do it/ weighing the risk. Keep your eyes on them at all times and keep your gun out/ quick slot on a good grenade.
>>545840773yes
>>545840846NTA but I read a few posts saying its a lot more hostile over there
>>545840773>>545840846 I'm also EU. Yeah, they're ruthless. But you gotta be vigilant. I've died to campers; you can't do anything about those.
Can I safely sell any items labeled as "trinkets"?Or are they used in crafting/quests?
>>545841184a few of them are quest items but theyré mostly for useless shit like scrappy which isnt worth upgrading to 5. there should be lists out there of which items not to sell, if you google.
Been playing Arc Raider. Was Tarkov this addictive? Or is it just Eurojank
>>545841184
>>545839346did you talk to them or at least emote "don't shoot" or did you just creep up on them?
>>545841356that image is horribly sized
>>545839346it seems to come in waves, i wont be surprised if devs come out in like a week and reveal some shit about matchmaking, one part of the day everyone is friendly, 7 player extractions, extract without hearing shots 10 times in a row, then all of a sudden its botlike faggot shit freekits running at eachother to kill over zero loot. when you do quests, you also tend to spawn in late atleast 3 times, and typically spawn as far from the quest objective as possible, i dont think its in my head, devs have been doing this kind of measured suffering as part of elaborate skinnerbox psychology for a while now.
>>545841746When I attacked first it's always melanin-enriched scholars or russians. It's interesting.
>>545841684blame whoever made it and posted it on reddit
How hard is Arc Raiders?
>>545837390>2. Tarkov steam numbers won't at all be representative of the player base because the jews aren't giving out steam codes for current owners, so don't use steam charts as any kind of evidenceWe know that but it will still be curious how big of a splash it makes on steam release.
>>545841937im harder rn
>third dies off by himself somewhere>run into a friendly trio with second>for no fucking reason he starts shooting them>I'm forced to down them allI felt bad about that oneThey still went down like the smarmy faggots Australians always are though... so maybe I don't actually feel that bad about it
First days on EU i had plenty of friendly interactions. Now it seems like everyone became a KOS NPC.
I wish this game worked like CoD DMZ where you could actually join other people's teams during the raid
If tarkov didn't have terrible performance and I didn't get one shotted from fucking nowhere 75% of the time I'd play it again.
>>545842283I wonder if they'll add trhat
Autistic question, but does every workshop table have its preset position in the list at the bottom of the screen, or will they appear in the order that I construct them, and I should therefore construct them in my preferred order?
YES finally another blueprint after my last bettina one 2 hours ago>>545842226yep. and no mic usage at all. only some russians sperging out when they get owned >>545842283embark has a good formula on hand. make suggestions on their forums or something. they can make a spinoff or dlc or whatever. many people would like something like this
>>545841937the only hard thing is pvp and that is not something the game does to you, that's just other people.
What's the best way to grind for materials? I seem to die pretty easily and I don't feel safe bringing my good weapons with me
What's the torrente for? Who am I supposed to use this on?
>try US server>dogshit ping>people still fight but they actually have a mic and communicateEU fucking sucks balls
>>545842775freekit dam, loot nearest place, extract

>>545842914see >>545813616you kill people with it
>>545842775go in literally naked - not the "free" kit - since going naked gives you an ass pouchthen run to whatever type of location you're target farming drops from and loot everythingpick the most important thing and drop a stack of it i nyour ass, then go for extractionrinse and repeat
Free kits absolutely should not get stitchers, what the fuck

I've run like twenty raids trying to get a sentinel firing core bros... I've opened tens of arc couriers. WTFI need it for my level 3 gun workbench
BROS a third BP todaywhat could it be?
>>545842975I think some people use the 'don't shoot!' because its louder than most mics. I've met many, MANY people who have a mic, and only do so after I use mine, or after they've used the don't shoot!
literally killed 6 raiders one after another while hiding in water treatment locked room on Dam over the span of around 15 minutes, locked the door each time I took a life, they belong to me now
>>545843802aint reading all thatim happy for you thoughor sorry it happened

Got bored and hunted arcs in the corner of the raid
>>545843802tldr
>>545844182heh
>nigger kills you seconds before extractionNow this is devious.
>>545844579I have the mats to build 2 of those and I only have level 2 gun bench kek
raid 5 trying to complete this
any point to turtle crawl?
Field Depots don't exist.
Wasn't a huge fan of the nasapunk/retrofuturism/concordpunk artstyle initially but it's already grown on me. Breath of fresh air from all the animeslop and dorky tacticool stuff.
What the fuck is happening in this game rn.I went on blue gate and theres giant ticks, some giant queen, and people running around in large groups doing some shit.How can I avoid this gay shit. I was like oh okay friendly since im not about to 1v5. And then some rando kill me. I dont want to do any friendly BS PvE trash. TTK is too fucking high close range for this game design. Any retard can insta kill you. Get these pve events out of here
>>545845610They're literally all over the place.
just saw some dude with an outfit ive never seen before
>>545845764>making terms up
>>545843072Some of the most fun I've had in the game is when I do this kek. Getting a field crate gun and just going buckwild is a blast
>>545842775Like others have said, run neked. Eventually you'll have so much shit and your stash will be maxed out and full, you might feel that it's all worthless and that you may as well run with it. Or you'll be like me and spiteful about the thieving faggots, and continue to run naked so there's less they can take from you if you die. Cheap guns kill pretty well if you survive the initial rat ambush.

>>545846206people are getting too smart with this, i saw a guy kill a man in cold blood, when i clapped him for it she said it was self defense. what part of self defense is chasing someone with a gun and putting him in the dirt?
>tfw spawning right next to a security locker on blue wafflenani?
>>545846281Sorry, my "naked" includes a ferro and ammo. Both of which are dirt cheap. If you're really broke somehow you can run free kits and convert the free kit augment into lvl 1 loot augments through Lance, but they're so fuckin cheap I just don't bother when a free kit run denies you of a safe pocket.
>>545845948Nah.
>>545846632god damn rats
>>545842392no, its according to how you unlock them and then they're stuck like that - I wanted them to be in a certain position but it didn't work because I forgot
>>545846480They were conceptual competitors. Forever Winter went a little harder into the "you're fucked, it's the apocalypse" angle which might have had a strong audience, but unfortunately was more equipped to advertise than it was to develop. I won't play it because this shit is exactly what I want out of an extraction shooter, but I hope they boost their team up so they can meet their goals. They had/have a very strong market segment interested.
>>545846651Oh okay. By naked do you mean no clothes because I don't know how to take those off, or do you mean no free kit in that slot?
>>545846968nigger you are overthinking this. he means take nothing in except for a ferro and like one stack of ammo.
>>545844572>>545844381samefag
>>545847058I'm sorry I tend to take things literally sometimes. I'm not a nigger though!
>>545846870Damn. Well, I started building them in my preferred order, although I'm sure I'll have changed my mind about it next week.
>>545846968If your character's dick isn't out, you aren't gaming hard enough. But like other anon said, I'm not saying truly naked. Just cheap af, to the point where you will accumulate wealth while spending nothing.
>>545846602I don't use ai voice, nigger
damn I look good
>>545847256It just feels like I can't carry enough when I don't bring my bag with me. Do you just loot buildings or is there an area I should focus on before extracting?
just sat on control tower and sniped for an entire match/10
>>545847269>doesn't deny being a trannyNTA but heh
>>545847329>not wearing the gas maskI'm using the mullet too but my hair is red
>>545847431I hate that there are only two white male faces and one is an old man
>>545847401>doesn't deny being a shitskin niggerNot a tranny either, faggot.
>>545847431>my hair is redimagine being this retarded
God I hate the quests in this game they're so fucking boring!!!
>>545847552I said NTA you mongoloid
>>545847657???
>>545847724you get one ugly skin from doing them, and a bunch of stuff you can just find by looting. i am not doing themmaybe down the line i will, if they add something worthwhile
reckon squads with competent teammates is the only way to play unless you like checking every single nook and bush especially at night, game is a campers wet dream, sure you can run solo and get shit done but its just constant head on a swivel unless you are in a lobby full of legit drooling retards or pacifiststhe power rod room on Damn is a prime example, the ventilation spot above the door you can jump onto from the lockers thats both shaded and gives a birdseye view of raiders entering is just absolutely diabolical, the sheer amount of raiders I’ve watched come in to loot the unbreached lockers I’ve left for them…get them nice and unaware while I’m crouched above them with my cock out, just waiting…fuck I’m gonna cum
man I've got smoke grenades I wish I had showstoppers to fuck up ARC
What is the point of the Bettina? Ferro and Anvil both do more damage per shot than it and degrade slower and I've found against bigger Arc the mag size of the Bettina isn't even an advantage since I have to dip in and out of cover anyway, might as well be cost effective with my ammoIs this weapon just straight ass?
>>545847370That's why I included the bit about the looting augments. You can get them "for free" by extracting with a free kit. And they are also very cheap if you don't. You will make your time/money back if you just craft them. Sorry I understand calling this a "free run" isn't entirely accurate, but from my perspective it totally is. If you start running it you will realize it's more economical than running free kits. Add in a shield charger when the wealth finds you. PvP rats are using this strategy and so should you when you don't have gobs of shit to burn.
>>545848214yes, it's actually one of the worst guns lol
>>545847959I find that freekits are usually the most aggressive players, the rest generally tend to think twice before they start a fight, since they risk losing their stuff
>>545848259>>545848214I don't believe these punks I bet the betina is fine
Send help, I've been using the same kit for like literally 10 raids and I haven't died
Newfag here. I'm just loot goblining and abiding by the NAP right now. I'm still not quite paying attention to what I'm looting. Just grabbing what's not bolted down and extracting. Following the quests so far. I've got two questions:>In the skill tree, should I be prioritizing in-round crafting or just stamina-maxing starting out?>For base upgrades, which of these workbenches should be my initial priority
>>545848615>NAP?
>>545848657The Non-Aggression Principle.
>>545848012Just use hornet drivers. They stun ARC for the same amount of time.
>>545847329literally the first skin I plan on getting when the next raider deck comes out. Just need 500 more...
>>545848214It goes Bettina>Renegade>Anvil>Ferro
I guess it's a good thing that I find the characters and outfits ugly as fuck because I have 0 interest in spending more money.
>>545847959I feel pretty disappointed going up against a trio where there's no proxi chat and you can tell they're all on discord. Massive improvement if you can communicate effectively
>>545849056There's two different voice chat buttons retardbro, you don't need to be in discord.

>>545843478scrap yard on dam, pretty uncontested, i found 2 in one run, third not long after, breach and loot everything there
>>545843478if you have high value blueprints you can just use the link in op to trade for rusted gears
>>545843478I got 3 in 1 run in a single room
>>545849208Yeah I unloaded a stitcher in someone and they didn't go down, thought I was cooked but said fuck it and charged him with a pickaxe and downed him lol.
>>545849336game needs proper gore. dismemberment, blood on the floor and walls.your character should be bleeding and leave a trail of blood when heavily wounded so I can track you the fuck down
>>545849513Uhhh you're not actually killing anyone bro they're all just becoming unconscious so gore would be antichungus
Do they have the technology for a good snow map with footprints?
>>545849208its actually pretty uncommon to see raiders go for the melee, they'd rather reload.
>>545849583true. but persistent blood on the environment should be fine. you could see where all the fights happened and where the wounded raiders went to patch themselves up.oh well
>>545849678>tranny is cringe kos pvpniggerwowie zowie
Launch tower on Space port is basically pointless to loot since niggers are LITERALLY in the fucking walls

>>545849792dumbass. Who do you think he was looking for?
>>545847959I find it funny the reddit has some weird stigma against shit talking campers. They're so toxically positive you can't call the faggots being faggots, faggots because that's mean. But yes thinking like the faggot and checking every corner is essential if you want to never lose.
>>545849873lol yeah i glitched inside a wall there too. couldnt get out though and fell to my death ultimately
...does this game have NPCs? I've been bullying the hell out of people who go "hey don't shoot" because I thought they were NPCs but I just realized it's an emote

Lore wise, why would raiders attack other raiders top side?
>>545850337Why do niggers act like niggers?they just have less developed brains
>>545850337The more money you have the more you can buy down south. Prostitutes, drugs, etc. More power. No law on the topside.

>>545850337Lore wise why do humans attack each other IRL?
>>545850337Law of the lawless state topside, you're all looting the same places and want to bring back what's 'your's'
>>545848615In round crafting is what most people rush, and right now the red tree is generally agreed to have the best ultimate skill since being able to open security lockers prints endless blue/violet rarity guns as well as other loot. Some of the early stamina perks on the other two trees are useful, but a good deal of skills on them like further roll distance is pure brickmaxxing shit compared to red offering ten additional pounds of carry weight, faster looting, quieter looting, etc. You can craft adrenaline shots very cheaply if you wanna hold sprint and zoom around mapsFor base upgrades and workbenches, set it to track every resource so those items have eyeball icons on them in matches and your inventory so you know to take them back home and not sell/recycle them. Refining is probably the most immediately useful bench since the rest tend to take upgrades to let you craft fun stuffSee >>545841356to know what to keep for yourself long term versus selling after raids
>>545850510i don't know what i'm doing; should it be less? encoder was vp9
How do taxes work in Spermanza?
>>5458506124mb is the limit on this board. so make it as close to this as possible. vp9 is the correct encoder.typically you want to lower the resolution for the webm around 720p instead of 1080p so there are as little artifacts as possible

>>545851676No it's fine, it doesn't matter how you kill the arc for that quest.
I actually think they should nerf the stitcher 1If a freekitter get one the lobby is fucked
Freeniggers should only get hairpins and rattlers.
arg will never stop bitching about free loadouts
Aight I’m done for today. 5h of raiding3x Bettina BPsomething aint right
>>545851107Take 3 normal anvil shots at moderate distance to down someone, by the 3rd shot you've have done 60% more damage. You just need the muzzle that reduces dispersion
Ready to cum, raiders?
So is it just /arg/ or does the entire arc community cry because of freekits?t. doesn’t follow anything

>>545852176I do this occasionally but with an empty kit instead so I can shove up a BP up my ass if I happen to get lucky. I then just use the gun from the security locker
I'm a newfag spamming freekits until I learn the maps. I've played ~4 raids. I've killed no one. I found a jolt-mine blueprint and bailed on the raid 60 seconds into the round.

>>545853235never said there was lol
I frequently drop in with 50-100k networth loadouts. Solo. Occasionally I’ll just pick a freekit to offset my losses. Problem?
They should make freekits less enticing to push normoids to actually play the game.
only kos pvptards have a problem with freekits
freekitniggers ARE the kos pvptards though
>>545852482dam tower, right where you enter the zipline around the corner from the research rooms. there's always two
>>545853663most kos pvptards are freekitsit's probably why thing have been so bloodthirsty recently, people realised they can risk nothing and bumrush people nonstop
>shoot a bombardier 5 times with renegade to pull aggro>throw Wolfpack>it explodesEveryone online said it was tankier than that...
>>545852996A freenigger shot me in the back, and then proceeded to cry out "I only have free load out" when I fired back at him. He scurried away and then talked shit in proximity chat trying to goad me off the roof I was using to farm snitches. He was so proud of the fact that he had nothing worth killing him for, and he could act like a nigger with nothing to lose. Would you believe how surprised he was when I told him he was Black. There was an uncomfortable pause before he said ... "I sound Black?" His subhuman, underdeveloped prefrontal cortex actually thought the voice changer would disguise him. He camped my roof for the entire game waiting for me to come down, bitching about me to random passers-by, and then failed to kill me on my way out. What vermin. I'm glad he spent twenty minutes crying for nothing. The best part is I was dripping with all rare gear. I hope you read this, nig, and know that I had all the drip you were trying to jack, and you just couldn't hack it with your freekit and nigger tactics.
>go in with full purple loadout>engage a team>get third, fourth, fifth partied and die because everyone suddenly closes in and brings 500 million grenades with them>go in with a ferro and kettle>kill people and get out with significantly more than I came in withAlright
So let me get this straight. I'm trying to understand the plot.>Humanity was fucked by climate change or some shit>the rag tag survivors fled underground>this society has constructed an elaborate series of HIGH SPEED MAGLEV VOLTRON TUNNELS to transport their murderhobos to the surface so that they can kill each other on sight and return to the city with rusty cogs shoved up their assesI'm not sure if this society is sustainable.
I just want 1 single bombardier cell bros... Why did youtubers convince everyone to act like such fags now...
>>545846913forever winter is a borderline scam selling itself off being a for the gamers title while being a $40 dollarydoo pre alpha that has the easiest pve of any of the extraction shooters
If anyone has >Vita Spray blueprint>Blaze Grenade blueprintI'll give a Snap Hook for either one
>>545851892This isn't a bad idea. The threshold for freekit is so low that I basically don't use them anymore. Why would I give up my safe pocket to save the metal it takes to craft a ferro and shield if I needed one? Hell, I would even suggest allowing free kits to carry extra loot. They're not carrying anything else, and they're rolling the dice on all of it tl:dr freeniggers are absolute retards. The only time I take a free load out is if I just can't be arsed with the load out screen.
>>545854383why do you think the lady trader with all the guns is constantly behind a metal door
>>545854383Consider this is after generations of the microplastics
>>545854383Technically you only ever get "knocked out" and someone come and grabs you. Nobody ever actually dies. We're shooting each other with rubber bullets :)
>>545853745Oh no, yeah, I TOTALLY know exactly what you're talking about...
>everyone killing me on sight and teaming with like 4 other fags>decide I'm gonna kos now>blue gate harvester >charge to the extraction near the queen>kill someone there trying to leave>he begs me to spare him and that he only has scraps>he had an equalizer blueprint he didn't stick in his buttI guess maybe the Jupiter was in his ass, I had the equalizer already too so I just tossed the bp in a bush since I was freekittin
why are all the male faces extremely old, too big for the body or prepubescent? They couldn't think to make one decent male face like they did for female?This is the closest one to 'normal'
>>545855267the fact that there's only one good looking female face is a crime in itself, western devs are just so fucking shit at char customization, especially fucking Swedes
>>545855267I noticed instead of white men, most of the male faces are some flavor of hapa mystery meat.
This game is fucking hard.
>>545855545Idk if you've ever seen Division 2's character customization but it blows this out of the water. Everyone in Arc Raiders looks like they came out of starfield, meanwhile division 2 has you looking actually good.
>>545855593>friend joins me>default character before his loads is a nigger
>>545855267swedish developers, can't have normal attractive people in our game can we
This is the only "normal" looking character. Everything else looks lame and gay
>>545856191you must be EU, that's not the 'normal' face of the world. That's like a face you find in a pub and he says 'go manchester' or something
>>545856240I'm american. All the other faces are 3 flavors of nigger, jeet, asian, or mixed besides the younger female. Everything looks lame and gay
>>545830174>torrentenot for long range encounters, if you fight inside and close you rape people out of existence. Just hold the button and hose them down
Just expanded my stash to the largest possible (280). Watch me run out of space in a day because I hoard shit.
I saw some japanese female raiders on NA today who didn’t speak any english, what's happening
>>545856659you expect them to play with australian rats?
>>545856537Start working on your expedition project
>someone wants to kill me because of my accent while I was talkingwell that was a first
>>545856901EU?Sometimes russians kill people speaking english because they think they're americans, yes they are that stupid
>>545803051Where do you see the bp progress? I crawled what feels like all menus and have not seen it yet.
>>545857005it's was clearly an english speaker, probably mistaken me for being Russian.I'm Polish
>>545857086Oh well I guess it work both ways
>>545856191>countless elderly women options>one questionable white man(?)Who is the target audience? 50 year old black women?
>>545803051100h of gameplay and this progress is wiped in a month with expeditionsTalk about a grind
>>545856746Maybe I could, but I'm not sure if the perks you get from doing expeditions are actually worth having your talents and blueprints reset.>>545856901Mean.
>>545857295wipe is optional bwo
the Bettina blueprint really needs to have its spawn rate buffed, I've only had a dozen or so
Fireballs don't exist.Depots don't exist.
>>545857623they both are all over the place
>>545857620a dozen isn't enough?
>>545857694Until every single blueprint anyone picks up is a Bettina it's never enough
>>545857601I know but I'm a sweatlord and I want the extra shitI just find it odd that everything else is easy to get in this game, but BPs are fucking nowhere
>>545857880nothing at all odd about that
>>545857880They're pretty much exclusively in locked rooms with VERY occasional ones in the wild, in my experience
>go in with effectively nothing but a ferro to kill some ARC for powercells>some absolute nigger just shoots me in the back right at the very start of the raid after I killed 2 ARC right in front of him and didn't even loot them
>spawn in>loot a raider cache>leave
>>545858102>buy pvp game>get upset there's pvp inside
Hornets are impossible/ the not-Chauchat sucks.
>>545858784The two front jets on the hornet are armored and that gun can't damage them easily. The back two aren't armored. You do the math.For what it's worth, that gun does suck but if you upgrade it once it gets more usable.
If I team up with a buddy of mine (or two), will we be let loose into instances with solo players, or will we be purposely set against other teams?
>>545858873It's either group or soloyes, 2 is a group
>>545858928I'm not 100% sure you answered my question.
>>545858995if you're in a group, you will encounter other groupstwo people is a group
>>545859050Now I'm 100% sure, thanks.
>>545858995If you queue solo you'll fight solo playersIf you queue as 2-3 people you'll fight team of 2-3 people
best map to blast arcs with hullcracker? also any tips on how to not just get killed when i bring it lmao?
you can "get by" with the in-game emotes but for the full experience this game needs a mic
>>545859216Three hours into the game, I still haven't encountered anyone using a mic.Emotes seem to work, though. Not one player has attacked me since I started emoting.
>>545858873Matchmaking makes an attempt to group you with similar size groups, but it's not a guarantee. Any group size can be matched with any other group size, but it will try and match them together with the same size.
Any tips for new player? Not familiar with extraction shooters
>>545859705use the mouse to move the crosshair over stuff you want to shoot
>>545859705ARC is only extraction-like.You spawn in a large map, do whatever, then return back to base whenever. Easy, no forced danger.As for tips, uh...Learn how to emote or use a mic. This will help you when encountering other players, though you will still get shot at sometimes.Apart from that, don't be too scared to waste your resources. Your pet cock should scrounge up enough for you to craft shitty starter equipment if you lose it all.
soon...
>>545859216the voice lines are really under expressive.It needs more call out type lines>wait>be quiet>help>stop
I don't know what I'm supposed to be doing right now. Fighting other players isn't fun. I can't fight groups solo. I can grind for materials but once I have the materials to upgrade my benches I'll have to grind for the materials to actually build the weapons, and if I take those weapons out with me and lose them, I'll have to grind all over again. What am I supposed to be doing?
This game has way too many fucking items, Jesus Christ.
hidden bunker in 4 minutes
>>545860413You're supposed to be a loot goblin, and reach a point where you're net intake of loot surpasses your losses.
>>545858734PVEVP*
>Vita Sprayin the amount of time it takes just for you to ACTIVATE the bandage, you'll have already healed over X2 the amount. This canister is the equivalent of 7.5 bandages that can be instantly applied
>>545860639cant wait to not do the bunker and just kill people
>>545860731By "loot" I assume you mean materials? I've never looted anything except mats and one blueprint, never guns or anything, and its always one a little at a time. It just seems like a grind, granted I'm only level 5 or 6, but going out with a gray weapon every single time just isn't fun.
>>545860941then go loot the higher level zones
>>545860941A large chunk of the community likes being non-aggressive, but in these sorts of games the best way to get lots of good loot is to kill people that looted it for you.
Yeah its going to be hard to convince myself to ever use good gear.The dsync in this game is insane. Im consistently hit behind corners. This feels like 2005 gaming
>>545861158The pvp is not to be taken seriously. I enjoy ambushes and gearchecking people
Do all players get the same quests?Or are they proc-gen'ed?
>>545861205they're the same
>>545860413>fighting other players isn't funI stopped reading. My palms haven't sweat like this in ages.
>>545859705Fuck around with free kits, and after returning with free kits from a successful run, you can trade in that free kit loadout item to the robot man trader for a real loadout mod. Use free kits to learn the game, and then when you know what you're doing, you can gear up with a weapon, some bandages, shield chargers, and some impact grenades. Taking a real loadout mod gives you a safe slot you can shove loot you REALLY wanna keep like blueprints up your ass in case you dieFor the freebie weaponsStitcher (Get Close) > Kettle(Click fast) >> Ferro >>> RattlerAt extractions or any other encounter with other players in the wild or at extraction elevators, holding the premade voice callout button (G? by default?) and doing either the greet or Don't Shoot will keep you alive most of the time. If you see someone with their weapon out getting closer and not using any voicelines/mic, you may want to kill them preemptively. It's a good idea to chimp out with free loadouts a bit anyway so you aren't scared of PvP later. Enable Night Mode in your audio settings to boost the sound of footsteps>>545860413You have the gist of it, but losing weapons isn't as big a deal. You can buy some of the best each day for cheap, three anvils and a renegade, and eventually you'll get a feel for where weapon crates are on maps* to get freebie blues and purples as well as more off players you kill. *You can use the map in the OP to expedite this as well as watching TOP 100 LOOT LOCATIONS LOOT ROUTE ON X MAP slop on youtube
I FIGURED IT OUT! The supply drops have a white light at the top, so that's the best way to spot them. Makes doing the trial super easy.
Man how the fuck do you complete What Gies Around? Must need to kill a Tick.Too bad I can never fucking the enemies I'm looking for.
>>545861482Go inside buildings and throw one at a tick or pop
>shoot small flying robot>it explodes in ten rounds>shoot a slightly different-looking small flying robot>it doesn't explode even after 50 rounds
>use Bettina just to try it out level 1>have a 'damage to raiders using heavy ammo' feat>none of the damage countsSo the Bettina isn't supposed to be purple and isn't supposed to use heavy ammo then
>>545861735stop shooting the armored parts hmm
>>545861801There are two very similarly named weapons, one using light ammo the other using heavy ammo. Double check if you have the right one.
>>545822481The devilish part being completely useless, and him lucky no grenade was thrown through the smoke? Since he did not hit shit through it.
>>545861839m8 one's a pistol and one's a huge fuck off battle rifle, I don't think it's a Burletta
>>545861735get the small back thrusters first
real tired of these shit quests that ask you to get something from one side of the map and then another item on the other side in ONE ROUNDdid they playtest this shit? did they find this fun? running cross map for some fetch quest?
>>545862070I'm mostly sick of the AI voices yakking in my ears every time I load into a round
>>545827201Either that, or blueprints were bugged/are bugged currently. I used to get a shitton of blueprints, and they were mostly the same ones. Now I rarely find any.
>>545862501that too, I think I'm just not gonna accept any more quests
so what's your hobo loadout?
how long do matches usually last? I havent bought the game yet
I have so many gunys, often very good ones from security lockers that I simply don't care if I lose them. I have achieved nirvana.
>>545861460kek gj senpai
>>545863052you can extract as soon as you want, 30 minutes is the limit
>>545863110neat thanks
>>545837967They are so fucking lazy and the game has so many issues. I don't see 1.0 being a big enough jump to clear the quality bar Arc has managed to. For all of Arc's problems, it's polished as fuck. Also, milsim kills the normalfag, I just don't see it having the broad appeal
>tracking components does literally nothingCool.
>>545863345you daft?
Go on, climb up here pal, you can do it ;) .
>>545863345For some reason it resets after you craft whatever item you're tracking. I can only assume it's a bug.
>>545863367It lets you see, when you look at the thing you want to build, how much of the mats you have... Which it does... any time you craft anything...Woah...

>do hidden bunker>eventually form a team of seven or eight forms as we do the antennas>sticky grenade looks like it comes from outside down into the bunker>after all the downloading is done we go to the antennas again>slowly get picked off one by one as someone throws smokes and grenades or shoots>three of us left>get to extraction>one dude admits he did itso the mode is just amogus then
>solos>NA>crossplay: offI'm honestly surprised just how benevolent the average player is. I've got 6 hours of playtime and haven't been ganked yet. I think that my only death so far has been to getting sucker-punched by a rocketeer.
>>545863971>so the mode is just amogus thenit does feel like a murder mysteryone of my bunker runs someone got downed inside the bunker but no one saw what happened and the guy who got downed didn't have a micI did defib him though
>>545864216I started doing this the other day and it is a pretty big difference. PCGODS keep on winning
I think I enjoy free loadouts way more than custom kits.not a gear fear thing, anytime I pick up something better I use it next raid, but theres something about dunking on sweats with basic bitch gear that just feels right.
>>545864701A tactic me and my friend do in our duos is to just leapfrog free loadouts into custom loadouts for the next run instead of just crafting shit and going in with it
>no achievement>no fanfare>no awesome outfit or cosmetic>a red tshirt variant of the shittiest outfit in the gameyeah I'm never questing again on wipe
>>545863021ferro + kettle/stitcher
>>545865218context: just completed every quest in the game
>>545865313wait, do you have to do all the quests again to unlock cosmetics you've already unlocked through quests this wipe?
bake new bread
>>545865390cosmetics are permanent they never get taken away. gonna hit level 75 before doing the wipe as well to get that sforza outfit completed
Should I turn off crossplay? I play on the EU server.
>>545865639I wish we could turn russians off
how important is display name, should I name myself like "friendlyraider" or do other players not even see your name unless in a lobby or whatever
>>545865676Haven't bumped into any. Most people I meet don't even have a mic so I have no idea where they're from.
>>545865740They don't see your name at all.
>>545865791ok cool to know
>>545865871>>545865871>>545865871new raid
>>545845984couldnt find anything about it, it had belts like an X going across the lowers waist and it honestly looked pretty cool
>>545865740Only visible if you're speaking, your name shows up next to a speaking icon. That and after you kill someone, they'll see who damaged them
>>545865215yeah thats exactly what I do. but even when I get the better gear I still just dont feel as excited killing someone as I do when I fuck them up with a level 1 piece of shit and no healing to speak of
>>545865743you can check people's steam profilesevery kos faggot is a russian
When should I move on to the new areas I've unlocked?
>go into Dam daytime by mistake>don't even really loot anything>someone called an elevator>nobody is going in so I go inside and get on the console>get shot in the back by some KoS shitter>lose my AnvilAt least I told him "fuck you".
>>545867569whenever you feel like it or have quests to go there
>>545861735>Shoot a Wasp in the thrusters because they are exposed>It dies quickly because the thrusters are exposed and you only need to take out two thrusters to down it and explode>Shoot a hornet in the big chunky armor panels that cover the front thrusters>Low penetration light ammo doesn't break the armor because you're basically firing hollowpoints at a heavy duty steel plate>Bot takes a long time to kill because you shot the armor instead of getting underneath it and shooting the back thrustersFliers have thrusters, walkers have leg joints and usually something else for a weakpoint, Fireballs open up, pops die quick no matter what, ticks die in 1-2 shots of light ammo

Otherwise, any death to extract camping in this game is 100% on you and you fucked up
