Sako/Valmet and Galil guns when?
So tired of gayass factory secured perimeter. Either nobody comes or they're already there camping it
>>550728095So kill them retard
>>550728095Same shit with the dorms one, fucking annoying
>>550728095>kill the guy with a perfect ambush spot specifically waiting for you you want me to buy wallhacks so I can prefire him? Im debating it
>>550728303>he can't pvp in officeStarting to think most of you guys are just shit at the game.
>>550728405He was camping outside the window you vault to in the corner that's unpeekable in the courtyardThere is no pvp, he made no audio, he's sitting there and he kills you while youre locked in the vaulting animation. KYS
The 1 million sales promo code wasn't even active for 5 days!
>>550728565Sounds like a skill issue to me. Should've gone out the bathroom window where you don't get locked into a stupid animation
Okay, I activated a few promo codes just a few days before I reinstalled the game, and now I can only redeem them in PvE mode for some reason. Surely this can't be intentional, right?
If i keybind shoot to mouse 1 'press' and voiceline to mouse 1 'release' will it fuck up my shooting. I want to spam vocielines in arena.
is night woods easier or harder if i have nods?
>>550729901>is night time easier or harder if I can see in the dark
Alright I'm just camping out the rest of the office kills, I will literally afk until the pscavs kill me this is pointless. I died to some japanese faggot camping and then swinging with 200+ ping so he has a full 2 seconds of delay to kill me before I can react. There is no point playing this game like an actual human being. I should probably just play arena but I'm committed to unlocking the AXMC so I can play some comfy woods raids...
>pscavving interchange camp>have M18>two other pscavvies with me in the camp>hear automatic silenced gunfire from the other side of the camp>lay prone to see if I can get a clean shot on the guy if he pushes up>scavvy voicelines behind me>hear movement from behind me pushing towards the gunfire>stand up to cover him as he approaches the guy>look down>pmc staring up at meI fucking hate the sound in this game man
>>550729901>>550730359Probably harder because they can flashlight you. Now a FLIR makes it easier. I dont really need NVG with gamma abuse they made it even easier to do now somehow
>level 30>peacekeeper not even level 3 yet because I have done one (1) shoreline taskKEK>>550730824Soundwhores get the rope, boy.
>>550730695>>550728565>>550728095https://streamable.com/gb8oe5You guys think I'm exaggerating but check it out, retards like this are in EVERY RAID
>>550731789>no dogtagTired of cheaterniggers.
I swear they downgraded the performance AGAIN with the last few mini patches.
>6 out of 6 customs attempts have resulted in my death by endgame level playersI have never been curb stomped this hard before. Day/night, no difference
>>550731242>Soundwhores get the rope, boy.>noooo you should sprint at the PMC that has headphones so he hears you seven hours before you
>>550734260The Setup task being set on Customs is a very asshole-ish and anti-fun decision on the part of the developers
jesus fuck what a stressful woods raid. i spawned just north of sawmill, went all the way across to get prapors convoy and the USEC camp objectives, fucking whiffed my flare extract, then went all the way down to outskirts (assumed it would be outskirts without checking because im a moron) to find that it wasnt actually outskirts. then, i skirted the southern lake all the way to RUAF gate (didnt work for some reason) then all the way to the southern UN roadblock... all while naked. at one point i got ambushed, ran into a minefield, got blown up, then hid beneath one of the rock outcroppings... as the guy fucking chased me, proned ON TOP OF THE ROCK, and i heard him shuffling around looking for me for five fucking minutes. he blacked out my stomach as i was running away and i had finished grunting in pain literally a second before i heard his footsteps. unreal lmao
>>550734260I've come to accept that if I'm doing quests I need to almost entirely ignore looting because of how many times it's gotten me killed, especially customs
>>550732439>>550732439I had a bug from a previous raid where I had a previous container permanently open I think that was the problem. You can see it in my menu
Don't do subquests. Increase trader reputation through daily quests. This is not a request.
>>550734540>looting>customs>everWhy would you? You go there to PVP or complete quests. It's too intense of a map to loot on.
>>550734407Customs is fine, and the problem is just that shotguns are absolute garbage nowadays. Back when AP-20 was actually good, and you could wear headphones with the Ushanka, the quest was actually somewhat fun to do.
>>550735761>have to shotgun players on customs>have to shotgun scavs on snoreline>have to shotgun scavs on lighthouseSTOPWhy the fuck did they nerf shotgun ammo into the ground anyway? Did a streamer get killed too often by a shotgun?
That one in ten or twenty factory scav where you get tagillas shit and a player or twos that were left behind makes it all worth it
I wonder if they're ever going to unfuck the spawns...
>>550736526>not zeroingdeserve to be banned
so if i want to farm scavs, i should kinda just find a safe spot and wait, right? moving around early means im more likely to run into a player than a scav i would assume
>>550736820Depends what you mean, pscavs? Regular scavs? There are certain spots where AI scavs spawn a lot. Like the friendship bridge area on woods is where I went to get my tough guy quest completed they literally all spawned in front of me in a train.
>>550736801You don't need to zero under 200 meters.
>>550737258ai scavs, yeah. ill check that spot out then. thanks, anon.
>>550737258nta but do you know if scavs can spawn in even if you are looking at the spawn point, or do you have to break los?
>how often did you die to (head, eyes) this patch?is this meant to be a joke?how do you fuck up a feedback form holy fuck
>>550737382I think it's on a case by case basis, their code is shit. Sometimes they refuse to spawn on you, sometimes they will spawn literally inside of you. I had my friend die to a scav spawning literally on top of him with HP performance slugs and one tapped him. I think you're a safe bet just staying like just a bit off of where they start like 30 meters-ish. The scav house near outskirts also has a ton of scavs on woods
Reposting that the mark of the unheard has some sort of bug with it that can make you completely invisible to scavs, saw and was killed by some guy on shoreline nuthugging an AI scav clearly testing it out.
>>550737820probably asking to know how much of a concern cheating is or if the hitbox needs to be adjusted
>>550737820It's actually a genius question. It's so smart I doubt BSG made it themselves
>>550738047in pvp???
>>550735761The problem is that newbies trying to do a trillion different Find and Extract tasks become food for shotgun rushers and MP-18 snipers like myself, dude
>>550738495Yes. I can't fathom what else could cause the bug I was witnessing.
>>550738047There's a classic recurring bug where youre just invisible in general
>see player sub-60m away>use sights>remember I installed the fucking PS-320 because I wanted to be cool>can't see SHIT in the 1x sights>miss all my shots>dieNever bringing another scope into a raid again, EVER
>>550739000seems like a stretch
>walking around>suddenly, get shot>look in direction you were shot>NO idea where it came from>get shot again in the meantimewhat do. I'm always in these situations and try to look around feebly until I die
>latespawn factory scav>no one hit bottom safeBeauty
>>550739485I usually just run for cover, if I have none I spray blindly to get them to hideI already struggle to find people, so with the aimpunch+blur effect it's a lost causeAlso 4chanx is fucked with the new captcha this shit is annoying
Why doesn't anyone wear this plate carrier? Pretty much free to craft, and it's very light so it gives minimal minus ergo, and you can actually level endurance instead of being overweight before the raid begins.
>>550739703>Also 4chanx is fucked with the new captcha this shit is annoyingWorks on my machine, there was an update.
>>550739485I keep a shitty painkiller in my pocket on quickslot 4 at all times and take it and run if I get shot at
>>550739739Because streamers told people to run 6B45 armors. I run it sometimes, either than or the ANA M2. I like 4x4 rigs because people are less likely to take them, and the TacTec and M2 don't offer much extra space inside to justify putting in your backpack.
Employedgroyper are you in these threads... I'm sorry about the Mantis incident...
>>550739485They should have a quick deploy smoke grenade gadget like in arc raiders. Usually what I do is sprint if I have stamina, or do a circle strafe/figure 8 if I dont. You can try free looking and aiming down to try and dodge headshots too by manipulating your upper torso. Some guy posted a clip of someone doing that in arena with like maxed sensitivity lol. But uhhh generally it's good to be prepared in advance of where someone MIGHT peek you so youre already kind of aware where the threat might come from. If it's close range a flashlight can help immensely to blind them too
>Nikita sells the rights to EfT to Hollywood>three years later picrel comes outHow would you feel?
>>550739739It has no side or neck armor of any kind.
>>550740413>main characters aren't niggers or brownoids or w*menIs hollywood even trying anymore?
>korund being sold on flea>4/4 armor slots>think "yeah right">front plate lvl5, back plate lvl4, side plates lvl5>think actually not bad>bought it, 200k
>>550740479If you're being shot in the side or the neck you fucked upif you're actually competent you only die by head, eyes or someone raping you with god tier ammo through the thorax
>do one pmc raid>died to obvious cheater within 5 minback to scavving>>550740912retard
>>550741008>the "retard" spammer is backgreat.
>>550740912>>550741008he's right, side and neck armor are inconsequentialanything but a helmet or front armor usually doesnt help at all and youre gonna die to any good player
>>550741187Back helmets are good for campers
>>550741076retard
>>550741265Back plates*
>>550740912>>550741187Both of you are idiots.
Do not under any circumstances go to Woods.
You find it possible to play with speakers casually? Or headphones are a must? I don't want to ear rape myself listening to every fart or put on a big headset
>died to a 81hour Timmy who shot me 6 times as I struggled to find where he was, wearing lvl5 plateoh no
>>550741643I'M COMING TO KILL YOU
>>550741076>noooo you can't call me a retard, you must be this schizo I keep rent free in my head>>550741187neck is a small hitbox but can save you from bad luckyou'll very often get shot in the side as you're pushing past somewhere, like a door
>>550742094Lurk eftg more before posting. There's an infamous poster who shitposts by just responding "retard," all lowercase, despite knowing (1) how offensive that word is, and (2) how much it FUCKING pisses people off.
Does Tagilla still drop the Labyrinth key? I've searched him three times now and not gotten anything.
>>550742432Buddy got a violet? card from him earlier in the wipe. It's extremely unlikely for him to have any cards on him though
>>550741923You can use headphones with a normal volume. If the weapon sounds are bit too hard you can always EQ down the highest frequencies a little bit or something. Treble is what rapes your ears.
lmao first time running this backpack and HOLY FUCK is its side profile a bit...... why is the mechanism so much smaller despite being only 3 slots less??
>>550742317I've been here longer than youI'll have you know I'm in both eftg discords
>>550742854I'm so sorry you hate yourself enough to do that
>>550740479Very rarely do I die to neck shots or someone shooting my body on the side. Sure those are downsides, but they don't render it unusable to the point nobody touches them even with a long stick. And imo, the upsides outweigh the downsides regardless. At least for Test drive 2 it was great, because I could push people quickly with it on instead of being a fat slow fuck getting stuck on corners.
>>550742578Yeah I just don't want a bulky pair of headphones on my head its not comfy
>>550742854I've been here since December 2022, dude. Stop trying to pretend your ass is an oldfag.
>>550739739Used to be meta before armor plates were a thing, now it's simply a powercrept relic. You can just bypass all the frontal armor by shooting just to the sides of the rig anyways if you've got precise aiming.
>>550737319I always set my zero for 200m
>>550742950>Very rarely do I die to neck shots or someone shooting my body on the sideyeah, that won't happen, but if you take a bullet to the side you're dying to thorax hits significantly quickerinstead of having your thorax be 30-40hp before you turn, you could have it be 65-69Same goes for neck, but that happens less commonly
>>550742950>or someone shooting my body on the sideYou'd be surprised how much survivorship bias will lead you to believe that side armor is useless.But yea, I mean, not having neck or side armor doesn't make an armor worthless, but for anyone who knows better then there's no reason to go out of their way to use that armor. The tactec is also kinda weird to get in the first place so it's another reason you rarely see it.
>>550743008damn retard you're even newer than I thought
I remember running from some dude and my 15/15 level V plate too some good hits before my thorax blacked out. I survived.
>>550741923Yes I play with speakers, it's not that bad honestly.
>>550743000If you want to hear footsteps better with your speakers you could make a temporary eq profile for them and increase middle and some higher frequencies.but it is what it is I don't think sound whoring is that big of a deal unless you are a turbo sweat nerdas long as you hear something lol
NIGGER FROM WORK KEPT CALLING ME AND I DIED TO SANITAR BECAUSE OF IT WHEN I PICKED UP HE LITERALLY JUST SAID THE SAME SHIT AS IN THE EMAIL I RESPONDED TO NIGGERTNIGGERNIGGER TOTAL NORMALFAG EXTINCTION
I think they may have nerfed secret exfil code spawns too hard
>>550743886>picking up phonecalls when not on company timeSorry bro, I'm not available.
for me its kirasa with lvl 6 plate on the front and lvl 3 on the back
killa can blow me
>>550743886My very first shoreline raid this wipe I afked in a bush, went to resort to place my marker on the amberlamps and immediately got beamed by a suppressor. Called him a nigger over voip for camping me at 8 mins left but then saw it was Sanitar lol pretty embarrassing
>>550744080I hung up and messaged him that I'll be available in 20-30 mins and 5 minutes later my phone started buzzing again, couldn't tell the guy to fuck off either
>>550744006I get them all the time from buried caches
>>550744301Just don't pick up
>>550743886i dont remember making this post

I'm burnt it on the level 28-30 grind breh I do a wood night raid and get 1000 XP because I don't find anyone.
>>550749251how do you not find anyone on woods? i cannot fucking STOP finding people when i least want to
how do you deal with inventory being clogged with armor and rigs?
>>550749251brah... grind scavs bruh
>>550749514just sell them to ragman
>>550734260this but on Woods. I have extreme trouble seeing people in forested areas.
>>550729901Easier if you don't bump into Sektant and get lasered from 200 meters with PST
>>550748642I've died to actual suspicious players like 4 times since the wipe. Maybe it's worse outside Europe.
>>550750642I've died to more suspicious players than that in a single day, regardless of whether I use US, Asia or EU serversSome as blatant as just calling our names out or being in impossible spots or straight up wallbanging
>>550729901What this guy said why use nvg when gamma makes night daytime with the snow?
>>550751591Because some people like to play fair.
>>550751006I've never had people VoIP me is that a team thing
>>550751681It is fair though.
>>550752242No it isn't
>>550752242>need to adjust external settings to get an advantage in the gameIt's unironically cheating.

>>550753435Did they fuck with VoIP cause it always sounds muffled. Like I know someone is talking but I can barely hear that shit. I heard someone once getting signal done he said something about not fighting.

>get blue drill>continue looting >murdered by another pscav God fucking dammit I should've just ran the moment I got it. I never announced I had it, he just shot me out of nowhere several minutes after I found it
>>550729901Night woods is objectively the scariest map in the game. Only fucking super demons with quad NODs and meta M4s go there, I'm not sure what they do, exactly, but it's like walking into a prison shower with Klinefelter's syndrome. NOT FUN.
>>550749514>>550757514>>550749825basically what I'm asking is - I don't have ability to get lvl4 armor so I hoard it but how do I make it efficient, just remove plates? They took even more space and buying the plate case from Ref doesn't seem like a great idea either
>>550757651bro nobody cares about blue drills anymoreI leave them behind because they're like 25k (6k per slot)
>>550758163Just do that streets quest for ragman and get the 6b13 every raid. I only keep class 4 plates that are uhwmp because of how light they are
>>550758102How is it scary I rarely see anyone at all. They all converge on sawmill. I loot USEC, bunker, town, no problem and extract at flare.
>>550758302I do, there's still 1-2 upgrades I need for them. Found one earlier today in a stash on Woods and uttered an actual "yippee"
>>550758302FIR ones for hideout, flea ones are useless
>>550758490scav interchange tech stores nobody takes them
>>550758984>Flea edrills are uselessAlmost. There is a workbench craft for 7.62x39 BP but it's kind of a shit round these days.
No fucking way someone camped the signal flare on woods lmfao I've never seen that happen
>>550758302>being this dumbWhat you think everyone is lvl 40 already prestige 3? Should have been obvious why he was excited for the drill
>>550758354That's my point, they're there, they just aren't shooting you. It's like they materialize out of the fucking mist behind you the instant you look away.
>>550760369but it's not something other people would kill you forYou "need" like 5 total early on and you're given 2 for free
>>550760286Average true believer stats.
>>550760286mystery nigga lookin mfer
>>550760637I see so many people off in the distance on woods and I never get the temptation to shoot. I know that it will lead to a man hunt where I get chased around the map until I die
>>550761013You should keep a sniper rifle for free headshots to piss them off
>>550760675You got bad reading comprehension or something he was annoyed someone killed him for seemingly no reason after he got something he needed for his hideout and then you made some slop post about how little money it is and now youre trying to change what you just said >>550758302

Let's see that winter season drip, bros.
>survived my first Interchange raid after accidentally queuing nighttime without realizing itWhile I spent the whole time cowering somewhere in hopes no one would spot me, it's also the first raid I've successfully survived so far this wipe.

Can Rogues spawn with GPNVGs? During daytime? Killed a player in the Rogue camp and he had them FIR in his backpack.
>>550763786I didn't think they spawned naturally anymore, except on maybe boss guardsI remember seeing footage of Lighthouse years ago where they spawned in boxes on the rooftopsProbably where buddy got them
Did someone used new TT/PPSH ammo? How fun are they?
>>550764198Not good enough to attempt when leg meta is meta with the PPSHJust spray dudes' legs with the cheap stuff
>>550764198Considering they can't even one hit headshot, I don't think they're very fun at all.
>>550764462One funny thing about them in bullet velocity which is 940 m/s, but that's it I guess
>>550764198Super funny to run on factory but otherwise a silly gimmick
we still a 2/15 here, maybe down 6 svds
Just got disconnect due to high packet loss for the third time in the same raid, wtf is happening?

>>550765689It's not that bad, just abuse the spawns.
>>550761439
>>550765334I'm at 13 and lost only one, got 9 or 10 kills with the first svds that I had looted from another pmc earlier

Seriously feels like every single person on shoreline is hacking
>>550771070There exists a subspecies of human which plays shoreline as a matter of preference. This organism, who's been playing shoreline daily since 2017, knows down to the micron where all the spawns are, where you want to go before you do, and precisely how long it will take you to get there. He has an encyclopedic knowledge of every square inch of the map. He can look at any bush from any angle and deduce in a microsecond whether you are in it or behind it.

Is Intimidator still lvl 45 quest? Either I'm going crazy, or I saw people with kappa lower than 45 lvl
>>550773087>Is Intimidator still lvl 45 quest?According to Tarkov Wiki, YES
>>550773035>>550771865Can you explain to me, why arena isn't complete dogshit from a design standpoint?>all ammo available from the get go>weapons, attachments and armor locked behind grind/paywallsIt's literally just a conveyer built straight to a cookie cutter meta.Why would I bring any kind of armor, when literally everyone is running max pen ammo?Why would I bring a helmet, when everyone is a headshot machine?When arena first came out, you could mix and mash things to make something you thought was fun to play.Now it's so fucking dry. The only differences are between the initial weapon types, within the types you just choose the best possible gun with the best possible mods, ammo and throw on whatever armor you want afterwards.Why the fuck wouldn't they keep ammo at lower tiers to, to actually reward people for having aim, and make heavy armor viable?
>>550774318It is complete dogshit. There's no variety or any reason not to run the most ridiculous meta shit. Combined with the removal of inertia every fight is over instantly while spamming adadadad or from peeking a corner so fast that the netcode doesn't have time to catch up and you crank a dude while he sees you only for a split second. Arena was in a decent spot for a while but they raped it into oblivion.
>>550772261thanks. i'll check it out
>naked lvl39 in factory sprintingI know that pain bro
>>550774318We really pretending the first iteration where you had to grind as much as the regular game to ever have good shit was fun? They just need to allow better armor like level 6 and restrict good ammo to like marskman
>>550774476>>550774318Arena 1.0 will fix thisAlso, we got a date for the Christmas event yet?
>>550774318>Why would I bring any kind of armor, when literally everyone is running max pen ammo?>Why would I bring a helmet, when everyone is a headshot machine?You don't, you get dripI do feel you tho, I can physically feel my winrate and K/D going to shit whenever I'm not using the same three meta loadouts. it feels like the game is decided before it could begin by just who brings what gun. best ammo being available is necessary I'd say. late game niggas would just rolls timmies everytime if they just had straight up better bullets

>>550776104>>550774318you are weak, and shit. I do fine with aa-12 express lmaoplenty of people do well with semi auto DMRs, bolties (mosin even) tooif your complaint is "man armor is worthless" then I guess yeah you might be right but the alternative is having no way to kill someone which is giga retarded they already tried that with the altyn class and it's all anyone played
>>550776648>you are weaknah, my team usually is and I have to hard carry more often than not. can't do that with meme loadouts most of the time, tho I sometimes even manage with a DVL or pumpy AP20 build
>>550774318classes are limited by a point system, kinda like insurgency, but more in depth. each round of ammo in every mag costs points, the higher pen gamer ammos being the most expensive. if you're rocking 4-5 mags of 50 pen ammo, you're going to have to make concessions on the rest of your kit to meet the point limit.i do agree with you though, by and large the progression in arena is dogshit but there's not much that they can do to remedy this without reworking the entire game(again). it should have never became a standalone game tbdesu.
>>550776975Literally not a meme loadout though you just arent good at it
>>550774318Arena is dogshit from a design standpoint because Tarkov is dogshit from a design standpoint. Ammo and gear are in an all-or-nothing balance where you either ignore it completely or become completely immortal with zero inbetween. There's a reason why everyone runs max pen ammo, it's because it's the only thing that doesn't leave you hanging with your limp dick when some asshole with thicker armor shows up. There is almost no counterplay to being outgeared so everyone runs the same shit.
If a pscav kills me after I kill a traitor scav does he gain lose karma?
>>550778187I think he loses karma, because you didn't become a traitorscav by killing the traitorscav.
>>550777595I literally end up at the top of the board 9/10 games, there is nothing you can say to convince me that I am doing something wrong
>>550778187>does he gain lose karma?
>>550778408Being at the top of the board means literally nothing. In dodgeball, for example, whilst I was not a player-killer, I would collect balls and toss them to the player-killers. I was far more valuable to the team than anyone else.
>>550778563oh I get the MVPs as well, can't carry the team with just kills
>>550768329the codeBANHAMMERgives you a free one if u still need it

>>550780360It depends. Do you live in a third world shithole?
>>550780464that fucking sucks. i've been wanting to come back to the game. no other game scratches the itch quite like Tarkov does
>>550780360everyone uses ESP and anyone in the thread that says otherwise is a cheater shill or underage
>>550780558should've played the start of the wipe, it was the most cheater free the game has been in years for like half a week to a week
>>550780360No, 1.0 came out with code (finally) that broke ESP permanently.
>>550780509east coast US so take that as you will
If you go Shoreline, you WILL die.

>adds A1 and A2s>no M203 handguard skreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
>>550780360It's basically the same as other MP games, AR and CS are fucking infested with them too
how is it possible to deal more damage but lose a duel? happens all the time.Damage is literally just body
>>550782816limbs
>>550780753Elaborate.
>>550784256they just swapped to C++nothing permanent about it but it has staved off cheat niggers
account is older than me
>>550780360The cheater population has been reduced by 95%. The most malicious cheats have been functionally eliminated. No one can fly across the map and steal loot directly from your inventory anymore.In the current reality of Tarkov, running into a cheater is as rare as encountering a popular streamer or something like that. It's theoretically possible, but in practice, most players will never experience it.
>>550781360> Swallow the PvEpillDon't. The game is too easy and simplistic. There's no risk and none of that adrenaline rush that PvP has.PvE is good for testing all sorts of things you clearly don't need in PvP, like meme weapons from ridiculous quests and so on.There's really no point in playing it because it's not real Tarkov.
>>550782937great that means they randomly spray and hit around my body.One of the few games that rewards shitty aiming, same with prrr guns that almost guaranteed to hit head
>>550785515Nigger if you're dealing more damage and losing that means you're the one who can't aim.
why does every single nigger on factory look like this? where are the gornostay and pistol timmies?
>>550785515you only need to deal 85 or 35 to win the fight. if you're dealing more than that it's because you're hitting limbs (assuming your ammo can pen their armor)
>>550785975I still need pistol kills and office kills but I've just given up on doing anything that doesn't help me escape from tarkovNo point in doing quests
>>550785975Timmys ran to PvE (like me). Only chads and cheaters are left.
>>550786195I want to at least get max traders before doing allat
>>550784992that's just false, anon
>>550781526kek I always run as many lasers as possible. I just think it looks cool/is funny
>>550785975We've fallen into the same trap here in the game that a lot of games with SBMM mechanics do—every match has become way too sweaty, stuffy, and tense.The issue is that casuals have all hidden away in PvE mode, but maps need to be filled to the brim before they launch, so every map is just crawling with sweaty gigachads. Because of that, they're constantly fighting each other, and everyone suffers for it.If casuals aren't allowed to hide in PvE, there'd be a max of 1-2 gigachads per map, and the rest would be casuals duking it out among themselves and having a blast with SKS shootouts over a loaf of sausage. That'd be 90% of their playtime.The other 10%, sure, they'd get wrecked by gigachads.But that bit of suffering for them would massively boost the OVERALL happiness level in the game.In other words, they'd just have to suffer a little so that EVERYONE—absolutely EVERYONE—stops suffering.And that's not even mentioning how PvP mode is ALWAYS more fun than PvE. Because PvE Tarkov isn't real Tarkov.#ABOLISHPVENOW
>>550786195I don't do quests either except for 3x dailies/day. Replace all quests until they're find&transfers. It's very slow going in terms of leveling, but it beats some of these awful quests like killing PMCs with certain weapons at different ranges.
>>550786687I don't think there casuals have flocked to PVE the way you suggest. At the end of the day, Tarkov is a MP game, not a SP game. Only genuine autists go SP and stay there, except for maybe a player who'd only ever play 40 hours max before quitting (either PVP or PVE).
>>550782368It annoys me that they didn't add any fsb mounts, either.
Is there a way to check experience on a website or anything? I want an easier way to track if exp is transferring between arena/eft
>>550787012>the only way to complete setup is ratting and HP slugs to the legsthis is a shit quest, honestly. needs to be re-worked to include any scav weaponry.
why the FUCK IS SHE NOT IN GAME STILL, HOW HARD CAN IT BE
>>550788693what gacha slop general did you mean to post this in
>>550780360yeah it still incredibly bad, dying to obvious hackers happens to me every like 1 in 5 raids. I can't imagine how many closet ESP users i've died to.
>>550788649I'm going to be honest bro, setup really isn't a hard quest to complete if you have the one good shotgun round in the game, I've went out of my way this wipe to find AP-20 from guards on shoreline, and after finding them, it took me 3 raids to get setup done, I was amazed at how fast and smooth the quest is once you have good ammo, the fact you get AP-20 as a reward should be more clear as to what ammo you should try to use for the quest.>>550788876This very general, why don't we have the AK-15 in game still.
>>550780360barely any in NA. Maybe one out of 30 raids I am suspicious, and that means only like half of those are likely to actually be cheating. So 7 players per raid, that means around 1/400 are cheaters
>>550789018I used express and had 0 issues with setup for the 3/8 kills I got with it. You should be using the mp-18 to supplement your kit anyway. It makes setup far more tolerable when you can just snipe people. Even then you can smash legs with no problem using express. Anyone that doesn't change their playstyle based on what they're doing deserves the pain. Setup is easy when you have an ambush oriented mindset.
>>550789018>This very general, why don't we have the AK-15 in game still.They literally put in the Ak-308 before the 15. They're MOCKING us.
>>550789018AP-20 is pretty shit and isn't worth it. I'd much rather HP slugs to the legs. Even T4 plates can stop 1 or 2 AP slugs.
>>550789265yea but they cant stop 6 or 8 rounds so idk what your point truly is, shotguns suck and AP-20 is the only slug that can actively do anything to people, it's either that or you buy RIP or whatever slug you prefer and rat around aiming for legs. I wanted to get it done quick and I found AP-20 to be the way
>>550788649If you spawn on the circle or near it, head to the big bush located on the yellow X drawn on this map. Or just go to that general area and camp. There's a bush there, but it might be see-through in winter, and a camper once almost killed me from there with a shotgun. Never tried camping (I don't camp), but if I did I'd set up somewhere around there and wait for people either exfiltrating into the map or extracting.
>>550789214yes, i know ratting is the only way to do setup. it's unhealthy for the map.
>>550789570I've seen videos of people climbing on top of the Shoreline Transit, and on the little islet, you can apparently duck under the water and peek out as people pass by
>>550788649https://streamable.com/gr8jygskill issue, holding W worked for me
>>550789719Damn, if only the whole game was full of afk pmcs...
>>550788649I struggled with Setup this wipe too, then I switched to magnum buck and rushed dorms every raid and made more progress in a day than in a week, got it done on that same day
>>550789570Another possible good one is somewhere around this yellow X waiting for the door to open and kill whoever is headed along the red arrow path. I died to a camper w/ shotty set up around there once as a pscav. Might be easy to get killed from other directions, though. I don't know.
>>550789719
>>550789702Yeah, I saw that video posted recently too, the one where there's like a 4(5??)-man that runs past and he kills the straggler and another guy looking for him. Good stuff.
>>550790119This. As a shotgun master I can highly recommend NOT using anything but buckshot. Express is decent too if you want more reliable follow up shots. Slugs only if youre a god gamer and can hit legs reliably (youre not). Flechette and piranha suck ass dont bother until ultra late wipe when faceshields exist in every raid
>>550789602Ratting and orienting your fights around ambushing your opponent are different.
>>550790407Wasn't magnum the meta? Or is that included in what you said? I don't know enough about shotguns/ammo.
>>550790615Magnum is part of the buckshot type of shotgun ammo. I think every red shell is buckshot eg magnum, 7mm, express etc
>>550790830Got it, ty anon
>>550790615Magnum adds a shit ton of recoil and makes it hard to use outside of kissing range.

>>550786687meh i've done my 2000 hours of pvp cbt already, i just wanna relax and escape tarkov at my own pace because im interested in the lore and storyi no longer have the hours and hours to nolife this game
>>550790197>>550789901But rushing people down is still a good idea. If I was afk in a bush I wouldnt have ever found that guy
I wish I could see the faces of these factory chads loading in wearing altyns and level 6 plates when the svt "timmy" they've been chasing turns around and sends an express 7.62x54 BT through their faceshields
LMAO they locked the mayor's upstairs room in lighthousewtf
>>550793058Isn't that the ref key room?
>>550793196Dunno, it's the big house close to the convenience store. I just wanted to scav on it but nope locked room
why do you let me buy every single fucking part of the sako, but I cant just buy the thing that makes it into a gun.
>>550793565Same for axmc, it got me
>>550793613I have to do Silent caliber and Hunting trip for this fucking thing too, this is beyond gay and retarded
>>550793795Oh and I can't forget the actual quest that is locked behind that which is killing 50 fucking niggas from over 40m distance with a thermal sniper
>>550793995>thermal sniperHow are you meant to do that without getting Chigga'd?Niggita is too unreasonable with that one
This game would be alot better if armor wasn't so overtuned.
>>550794234You should be filthy rich. I'm level 25 and I have 12 thermal scopes in my bags.
>>550794234Like the only good thermal in this game still is the Reap-IR, the FLIR is like absolutely horrid with the 30hz refresh rate, which granted most of it is a skill issue on my end, but still, we need new thermals and ones that arent locked behind retarde quests too.
PvE players are as dishonorable as cheaters are. Agree?
>>550794429no, just filtered shitters who deserve to get bullied.
Yea i'm not paying 7 mil for mentor, Y'all gotta buy my shit on the flea for euros bros
>see fucking 4 man stack running into Interchange>decide, against my better judgement, to take potshots at them>get rapedREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>550794910Where is your Underbarrel Grenade launcher anon?
>>550794910Worst thing you can do is take potshots at people. They will make it their life's mission to chase you down and kill you. If you aren't ready to get raped don't pull out the dildo.
>>550794910>>550795115Back when I used to pistol run I would shoot at them then just force quit suicide and hope they spent a lot of time looking for me
>>550794541>deserved to be bullied>has 2000+ hours on eftlol??? pve players are probably getting pussy.
>>550794429>honor is when you afk in a corner and shoot a player walking by
>>550795195No one that plays this regularly can claim to be getting pussy, sorry.
Bought 6,000 USD to pay for some skier/pk task? but my game gave me moving items error and kicked me back to the menu, ended up keeping both my original money and the USD I bought. This can probably be exploited somehow.
I don't think i have the skill to play this game.
>>550795378i can stick my dick in a female thats 6/10.
>>550795603yea but are you?
>>550795301Well... this is a realistic milsim tactical game, so yeah, it's awesome to use real life strategies to win the fightsPvE is just cringe and has no honor
>>550795582That's alright homie my stats are not very good either but you'll get better with time
>>550795842i'm 6'1" and i can bench press 160kg. my wife is a solid 7/10 and 8/10 with makeup. im living good.
>>550795930Yea bud, your ass is definitely NOT escaping from tarkov
>>550795017My MXLR with shitty ME LOKT ammo cannot mount an UBGL anon :(>>550795115Everything in my brain told me not to shoot, but monkey brain press LMB and ooo I shoot hehehe FUCK
>>550796406>My MXLR with shitty ME LOKTI would never shoot a team with that unless I was certain i could drop two of them within seconds.

>>550796663gleep looking ahh
What's a good gun for me? I'm 6'2" if that matters.
>>550797000mp9 w/ rip ammo
Idk what the fuck they've done to 7.62x51 but it fucking blows rn.
>>550798160It's aite
>>550798557Like it's just not, M80 just didn't ricochet like it's doing now, they've messed it up when they "fixed" .308 values.
>>550798716I dunno, when I tried the automatic gun with a M80 mag, I downed two sweats like nothing.
>>550798901Yea but i'm using a sniper and multiple times shit just bounced of people's head that never bounced before.
>>550798976Well yeah, why the fuck would you use that in a sniper dude. Use 7.62x54. 762 nato is for the FAL or RSASS type firearms. I like the sound the m700 makes but that's the only reason I'd ever use it
>>550799330Retard
>>550799330Yea I rather snipe with a double barrel with birdshot than ever touch a Mosin or SV-98.
>>550799372Take that back
>>550799456I refuse
yoo IT'S HAPPENING !!!!
>>550799442what about the t5000
>>550799558Homie's getting some sloppy toppy?
I have this bitch loaded with M993 now I am Guaranteed to bounce every headshot I land on someone.>>550799590It fires 7.62x51 bro.
I haven't seen players in 11 woods raids
>>550799680Post results. I kinda wanna take the SV-98 out for some comfy hunting on Woods
>>550795906>>550795582These are 1000% normal stats for someone with your hours, you're really not doing any worse than anyone else did at that point in their career.>t. remembers when he was excited just to finally have 50% SR
>>550799680Oh.... well what's wrong with the sv-98? Isnt its range of the ammo much better and easier to get?
>>550799680I would use the DVL for the entirety of SBiH if it wasn't toxic puke green.
>>550800037man it's just being constrained to certain kit types that really does me in, like all the bolty quests and stirrup and shit so I think I'll just grind them quick through factory but then it takes me like 50 deaths, and fuck theses capcghatgs i swear I'm getting the most esoteric mindgate bullshit out there.
>>550800301Just never fucking liked it, it looks retarded in every way possible
>>550800548If it came in black it would be the sexiest gun in game
>>550801473If only they had some kind of...painting system that would let us paint our guns. What a novel concept
so is this it? the rest of it forever is just gunna be sweaty gigachad spawn rushing central?
>>550800745>stirrupJust don't do it, ignore it completely if you're new to the game. It doesn't unlock anything and actually gives negative rep with a trader too. >bolty questsTarkov shooter 1/2 are kinda worth it if you can stomach it because they give huge exp compared to other quests that are that early. Just take a spare bolt action to your normal raids and whip it out when you see distant scavs, you'll get it done eventually. Don't worry about beelining it so much because it doesn't really unlock anything more than the other tarkov shooter quests which you should worry about if you're learning the game.
>>550801615Guess so.
>>550801615always has been
>>550800016I'm on a server that either nothing happens the whole raid or everything happens in one spot for 5 minutes with 40 minutes being survivors camping bodies, this raid was the former. I spawned far away from my newly prefered sniping spot and when I got there I felt things were wrong bcs I heard footsteps for 5ms that were not scavlike, So eventually after sneaking around like basically John Metal gear, I absolutely folded a guy with my P226, somehow Radeon didn't clip it after showing me that It did so I cant show it.
>4-0 enemy team>haven't died once>moron team mate team kills me in an extremely retarded way>they win the round>forced to play an entire game because of this fuckwitI'm actually mad
>>550802237>actually playing TF or BGngmi
>dropped four level 35+ players as a level 19Feels so fucking good
>>550802185After that one very pleasant pistol kill nothing happened for another 20 minutes, then I sneaked into the East wing 328 for Footjob part 5, then sneaked out and took V-ex
>>550800301As somebody that's used it:>Heavy>Kind of a pain to get early>Ergo isn't great (at least it's not a mosin)But the ammo is easy to get and any scope you can find can be finagled to work on the rail.
>>550801615>gigasweatDo you mean people with good gear? How many hours do you have in the game btw? Sometimes newer people don't realize how easy it can actually be to get pretty good gear early in the game. I wouldn't really call someone a gigasweat just because they have arena gear or lvl5 armor and weapons that can be bought at lvl4 traders. Like I'm only lvl23 right now but I've been running nothing but lvl5 armor for the past week despite not even having lvl3 traders yet. You can just find that shit if you know how to look for it.Knowing how to rush spawns isn't like some advanced esoteric knowledge, I think anyone with more than ~500hrs starts to be super mindful of where all the spawns are and will act accordingly (either book it to safety asap or push)
>>550802441Last night I killed a three and tagilla in about a 2 minute time span. KINO feeling. Ride that high
>>550802552I mean their vibe, an unk like u wouldn;t get it
>>550802392There's a very specific and purple reason I am, retard. It's even in the image.
How come I never see people when they're on my screen I'm just too slow even if they're right there and visible
>>550802752Yea, and i'm saying you have to reroll quests until they're checkpoint or LH.
>>550802851Fuck off retard
>>550802816Weird, I was going to ask the exact same thing.
>>550802851I play games for fun and last hero is extremely trash
>>550802648Learn the spawns too and counter their push by setting up in a little rat spot to catch them as they run up, there's some counterplay that doesn't even require any expensive gear. It's 100% knowledge and it works. In general with time you'll find the difference in technical ability between you and the gigachads is actually less than you think.
Why do people just have an aversion to buy things with euros :(I'm undercutting and they're still not buying it because it's on the funny blue currency
>>550803376Nobody has any
>>550803376What's funny is when the entire page becomes euros/dollars because nobody wants to do the currency conversion. You will be the trendsetter. Just buy all the closer value ones and make them euros so they HAVE to buy it
>>550803697just buy some, the same way I can just pay to exchange most of my roubles for mentor, but I rather have the money from others.
>>550803739>because nobody wants to do the currency conversionThat's been automatic for 2 wipes? I think.
>>550804145No I mean, they dont want to calculate what the price would be in roubles to list it in rubles, so they just copy the price of euro/dollars
I will miss newbie ground zero greatly
Ok, we're getting some traction
>>550804179Oh,yea, I misunderstood. I think grenade boxes are usually like that.
>>550804213Fucking lost it when I saw the second one in the corner with him
>someone camping the second floor trailer in the camp across from scav bunkerHuh.
>>550804420good to camp scav bunker and steal all the scav loot
>>550804576I guess I'll grenade it from now on.
these equipment crates seem kinda strong?
>>550805152That's very atypical. I usually get junk out of them.
eh fuck it i'll pay 3 mil instead of 7.
>forget to disable bowl for checkpoint>lose the hardest way possiblegod that map is aids, just spawn camping
Arena needs to solve the "everyone peeks corners" gameplay loop. So boring how every fight is holding corners or peeking them.
>>550806368Nobody holds corners anymore. That's arena's fucking problem right now
I want to spend an entire woods raid paying the driver to do a circle while firing his gun nonstop
>>550806368Corners are literally all a non-movement-based shooter has.
>>550806452I've done that a few times on woods and streets. You gotta mute your game while you do it or you can't hear your own thoughts
Have the fixed the sync issue for Arena yet? If not I'm uninstalling Tarkov right fucking now
>first ever found on a scav runOh god, I wasn't prepared for this. Wish me luck boys.
I keep playing againt 5 stacks playing the gayest way imaginable on checkpoint, idk how you retards can stand LH or checkpoint it's just so cancer how they force spawns then camp them
>>550807189Checkpoint fucking sucks.
>>550807225If the progress didnt reset on being shot it might be fine, but they need either to add cover onto the point so you dont just swing onto it (the biggest most over powered move in the game) while people are capping it. OR they need to make it so more people on it = faster progress. But they will never do it because they have no idea how to design anything and just lucked into a niche of a game while nobody made one before
>>550807351That's one of the few aspects of checkpoint I think works.
https://www.twitch.tv/chi_chaanChi-chan playing Tarkov
>>550807587But it requires you to push and clear every single angle it's way too hard to coordinate that with randoms so a stack wins every single time cause they can just hover around. It doesnt make sense to reward faggot behavior hiding in a random corner and only popping out when someone is capping to plink them a little bit to reset the timer then repeek again to finish them
>>550807740Fine I'll watch your tranime vtuber you spamming autistic monkey
>>550808104>>550807740>rustling around with crackers for 2 minutes at 90 decibels, yeah thanks for the recommendation
>This post is advertising or begging.
Is the money spent with traders bugged for anyone else? Is it only a visual glitch or progress is actually fucked?
>>550808665Be careful. Got a global 24 hour ban here for recommending that people ignore and report an off-topic spammer. Even though that's not announcing that I made the report.
Do you guys do your "daily win bonus" for each class? I really like marksmen and scout but enforcer and assault are tough for me...
>>550809338Sometimes. I usually try my best not to play more than one game at a time anyway.

Should I bother with randos or I'll get backstabbed and looted every single time? or am I doomed to play solo forever?
>>550811173Doomed to play solo forever. But solo Tarkov is very fun. You don't need to be a squadfag for fun. Unlike other FPS (such as Squad), squadfags in Tarkov are looked down upon and considered morally bankrupt, and objectively bad people who seek to ruin other peoples' experiences.
>>550811173Randoms in lobby? Hell no. Join pestily server or tarkov team finder.
>>550777038>each round of ammo in every mag costs pointsThere has never been any situation in arena where you need more than two mags.And I'd argue there's no real concession, as you don't actually need armor, because everyone is running sweaty meta ammo.>>550776648>the alternative is having no way to kill someoneThere is obviously a middle ground. You don't have to either have max pen ammo and trash ammo, or max armor and trash ammo (although the latter would allow more room for creativity).Objectively, if you want max pen ammo, you should be locked to maybe 10 rounds in total. So you'll guarantee a kill on the first guy you see, but then you'll actually have to play the game smartly. This would also allow for heavy armor to be useful for more defensive players turning up later in the fights.
Any other guns like the MP7 where you can take the rear irons off and get a clearer picture while the gun still shooting normally?
Does getting mastery level 3 on the klin make your view of the sight really fucking weird? I cant use the sight any more and I dont think I changed it at all. He holds it in the center of the screen or something and the sight just sways like a bitch now
>>550811885Unless you're a sweatlord, I think there's never a situation where you need more than two 60-ammo mags in a regular raid, unless you regularly fight scavs or something.
>>550811885I use three mags regularly and sometimes need four. You just dont know how to SUPPRESSIVE FIRE!!!!!
>>550812319interesting. I wonder how well this works
>>550811885>There has never been any situation in arena where you need more than two mags.>he dies so often he never shoots more than 2 mags
>>550812390I get random kills sometimes by prefiring, but usually it's just to scare them off of swinging if I know I'm in a bad spot. There's also a side benefit of making the map really loud if your teammate is flanking them
>>550812419This is Arena I'm talking about, not a normal raidIf you're shooting 30 rounds and you haven't killed at least three people, you should uninstall the game anyway.
what determines a scavs remaining time in a map? I notice patterns daily as I'm playing scav. Some days i have 24 minutes almost every game. Some 14 minutes.There has to be some sort of pattern influencing it. Just active games? I don't believe that because the patterns are too consistent throughout the day then change completely the next.
>>550812752>he dies so often he never needs more than 2 mags
Factory has to be the best map to farm scav knives right? I need 12 of each one to turn in for a weekly.Also >you can scav into low level GZ because your scav isnt level 21
>>550813514Factory or Customs, since Customs has tons of scavs and people who kill them a lot.
>>550813514You can scav into low level gz whenever you want. Just click on and off of GZ. The 12 max player count is 21+ and the 10 max player count is 1-20.
>>550813569that's even worse haha
>watch youtuber play Tarkov>"and so I loaded into woods with my shitty tier 2 armor and sniper">15 different timmys just walk out in front of him far enough away they don't see him but at a perfect angle>boss spawns, doesn't instantly lock on to him>murders everyone, extracts with two full bagsWhen I play>hear gunshots in USEC camp on woods>go to hill on opposite side of the road>the millisecond I peek the guy in the camp lights me up>run away>nothing go on at sawmill>see a solitary chad on the opposite side of the medcamp running away>no scavs spawn>leave with a can of spratsFunny how that works.
>>550815178What time of day do you play? I noticed that a lot of streamers who get raids like that play during the morning/afternoon and not prime time evening hours
>>550815640Usually afternoon/evening because I have an actual job, unlike streamniggersbut now you mention it, when I do get to play in the mornings the runs are better
Oh boy we in the setup mines now boys, and I'm too cheap to pay the kikes on the flea market for the gear so we're just gonna get it in the field. Already got fucked by a random scav giving me away
>>550815769The gear isnt that expensive any more they're <15k each but I respect the jewry
>>550755081Holy shit thanks, fucking finally I can progress hideout.
>>550760286Dude you got exfil camped by strelok
So did they fix glasses rendering through fog?
got attacked at scav base on customs by several geared random NPCs, who was that?Non-players
>>550817061Reshala spawns there. The place with the MG turrets and a bunch of crates? Yeh
>>550816827There might still be one or two outliers but I think most were fixed years ago. I havent played since they fixed almost all of them
>>550816827Maybe, but they haven't fixed scopes rendering through fog.
>>550817589kek
>someone took my unmodded stm-9 with no frontsights I was just hipfiring with on factoryHOW POOR ARE YOU
>>550817132yeah but they were talking like they found me, like I did something wrong or whatever. weird as fuck
Are helmets without headphones go into the trash or they're good?
>>550815728Yeah I found out about that cause I had a friend who "worked" from home, and while he was "working" he got the majority of his quests done. It confused me for a while because he'd never been particularly good at shooters in general, let alone tarkov. Eventually I figured out that it just the time of day that he was playing because he could never complete many quests during evening hours.
>>550819328They're the best they've ever been now that you can pair the TEP earbuds with them to eliminate their innate hearing range reduction
>>550819809>tepwhat about without tep ?
>>550819697Can confirm. I woke up early today and hopped on tarky with darkies and got some chill dudes on factory. I felt bad for him so I pulled out my pistol and threw the fight
What do you think about this one, bros?>looting around>suddenly get shot at from sniper>he misses all his shots>run to nearby house>stupidly crouch>head-eyes through a windowI wouldn't normally think it's that suspicious, given that I kind of deserved the death by crouching in what I thought was a hidden spot from him. But his stats seem a bit sus aside from the pretty low k/d and SR.
>>550820710Fair amount of scav raids, no killer 7. I'd lean legit. Especially since he said he missed you, unless it was hitting cover he couldnt see in front of your green skeleton.
>>550820710>missed shots>lands head,eyes once you stop movingif anything sounds like he locked in and/or had a lucky shot. His stats are pretty meh.
>>550815178It's important to remember that they run dozens and dozens of raids every day then pick out the god roll one for their uploads, if you actually were to watch them (don't) live, they usually aren't interesting at all
>>550821356>>550821456I was primarily looking at the 183 hours and 372 raids
>>550821823He could have been banned previously or lost his old account, rebought on steam... who knows
Okay so the audio pop is still a thing? Fucking lol. It's a lot fainter, but still there. Good ole slavjank bullshit
>>550795582Skill is unironically not required to be successful in this game, don't let the washed CS dropouts tell you otherwise.
My first grenade kill as on my scav lol. Some hatchling told me they were hiding up stairs. Actually I just realized he was cheating. Cringe
>found second FIR ledx in dufflebag and extracted with itholy fuck that moment when you see the ledx is always so intense
Apparently you spread blood in your hideout if you didnt heal after dying
if neck and side protection are so crucial, how come nobody uses this armour? costs one sas drive
>>550826532MUH TURN SPEED MADAFAKA, you see this? SIX fucking percent??? It's fucking UNUSABLE (i will hardly notice the marginal difference it makes ingame)
>>550826532Most people dont look up barters they want to just buy shit. The uzi trade in from mechanic was a free 40k every time you traded it but nobody did it for a free good gun at level 1 mechanic
>>550826532Honestly I'd rather just sell it to Ragman for 141k and make a little profit.
>>550820710ex-hacker probably
>>550826532It is heavy as fuck.You can't use this shit and say below yellow weight without elite strength
>>550826532while other anons have a point, I suppose it's still good to get it for the plates alone and sell the rest, you are basically getting level 6 plates and getting paid for it
>>550827872 (Me)just found out it doesn't come with plates off PK. yeah I wouldn't get it because of how clunky it is to use
I like how they added some good tunnels to factory to relieve the spawn rushing but they didnt let you just go where you want they HAD to make it a maze to funnel you
>>550827872> I suppose it's still good to get it for the plates> you are basically getting level 6 plates and getting paid for itFriend
>>550828226yeah I corrected myself in the first reply, it did sound too good to be true
Fucking BASED. I literally jumped in my seat when I saw it. If it had been a BEARpop, I'd have discarded it in the water.

>>550834682pretty sure that can happen when you kill someone mid reload
>>550834885>Tarzan rigwhat's this? does it have 24 slots?
Why can't I just do insomnia during the day....
>>550834885Thor also used to be meta/the best a few years ago. did that change? why recommend a non-Thor when Thor is available? I am willing to pay an extra 30,000 rubles for 1% recoil difference.
>>550835009I pulled it straight out of an airdrop
>>550835057You unironically don't need more than 3 mags in your raid. Even if, you can just get a 20 slot rig for 20-30k.>>550835168Paying 30k roubles for a negligible difference you will not even notice is retarded, no matter how much money you have. Thor was always shit because it had the same recoil reduction is the ASR/G-Lok but took away more ergo, and on 7.62 the QDC is better anyway.
>1% recoil difference
1.1 kg? tf are they putting in these?
If you really are meta fagging you just use the QDC muzzle with the KAC supressor and that's it there's no other reason to use anything else, if you're normal you use like a DT Hybrid or something.
>>550835564>DT HybridMaybe on a bolt action, on anything else the Thunderbeast has objectively the best value to performance ratio.
>>550835564hybrids suck ass now that they are the price of a gpu if you want to do the trade
>finally get to ll2 theRapist >oh man can't wait to get docs case I only need 2 more horse >I found 18 cat (counted all of them) before I got the last 2. In one raid I got 5 cat at the same time fuck this nigger life I spent 3 days just to find it

>>5508370902-3 raids per death is pretty good imqhaco. i can get about 750k-1,250k per raid. dying is a huge setback, but the endgoal always is to increase stash value
Do I dare? I feel like If i bring this karma is just going to put a PMC behind a fucking window.
>spawn next to high value loot area>rush it>grab a few good items, including a defib>sprint off>get shot>armor absorbs the hit>guy starts freaking out at me, firing blindly, trying to chase me down, shooting in my general direction for 2km or so >always a few steps ahead, literally toofelt like a real neener neener moment
So what was the way to farm perception/attention skill again?pop a 3b stim and just loot shit?
>>550837214I mean Surviving should be the endgoal since that by itself already increases stash value regardless, even if you do less big runs, the money just makes itself, If I can get 7 or 8 Raids in a row survived, be it with minimal PVP or not, that has infinitely made more profit than 3 raids where I live then die and repeat the whole process
>>550838328it's literally impossible to go 7-8 raids survived thoughbeit unless you sit around places, and I like to gogogo
I will not choke my sbih shots today...
Did my game fucking break? I handed in some evidence from Batya which was the last story task I had and now everytthing is like this?
>devs added 1,800,000xp to reach max traders, on top of the amount of xp it previously required to reach max traders>assuming a successful raid provides avg 2000xp, an unsuccessful raid provides avg 500xp, a 60% SR, and each raid takes about 30 minutes, it'll take an EXTRA 665 hours to reach max traders- 1331 raids>people whine about those with valid complaints about the xp increase
>>550839565I had to restart my game.
>server connection lost at raid start>don't even get to try to reconnect>gear stolenNIKITAFIXURSHIT
You cannot make this shit up man.https://streamable.com/8xq0mf
>>550839952He can't, he can't even make a proper quest UI without everything shitting to hell. You'd assume with a game that popular 10 years in development he can hire some actual coders
>>550840516No good coders left in Russia. The smart ones left in 2022.
>>550840002INHUMAN REACTIONS!
>>550840002I think the game is just rigged and it proaly tells people when they are being aimed at for a sbih kill, because there is just no way that I'm this unlucky every time I try to do Shooter born
>kill someone hiding in a dark corner in the dark corner with a setup kit>to then walk 5meters and die to another setup kit wearing dude that's also hiding in a corner
>>550842525So mad I can't even make sentences properly
haven't played in like 2 years. i get the core gameplay loop is the same, but is the game "better" now?
Is there a recommended keybinding for leaning left and right? I suffer trying to press Q and E while walking in a direction like I've seen people do.
>>550842842Yes. 1.0 came out. There's a story, and it changed everything.
>been up 26 hours>just keep running Shoreline over and over againthis is my life. this is what it has come to.
I cannot survive a customs raid, weekend players are the lowest of the lowest, actual cockroaches of gaming, Every engagement has to be miserable, every fight has to be a 40 minute chess match until someone dies of dehydration.
>>550845604I used to be that way too, but then I ran customs raids exclusively for a week. Let me tell you, it broke my fear of customs. I still rarely visit there except as a pscav, but once you know a decent route, it's not too terrible. Forget about trying to loot anything except maybe the hill, though.
>>550844848Sounds good, thanks anon. I'll hunt down the patch notes. Any big changes/additions to how the game plays aside from the story?
>>550842842>betterlmao
>Scav to Shoreline>Run towards Pier a bit>Come across this PMC>Killed by DermatologistBrutal, got nicely kitted AKMS.
>>550845932Anon lied that it changed everything. It's fundamentally the same game. The story is neat but it doesn't reward you for anything.
>>550845970What's your opinion then?>>550846021I'm fine with that. The core gameplay is fun as long as they tightened things up a bit.
Just call me Ratatouille.
>>550846021You literally could not escape from Tarkov before. Now you can. Everything is different. More mysterious.
>>550846085>What's your opinion then?A game still deep in beta rushed to 1.0 for those sweet Steambux. Cheaters are still common. Sound is still fucked. BSG still doesn't care beyond making quick cash. The only difference is you now have even LESS access to the market until you reach a high level. Found something cool worth a lot of cash you'd like to sell? Whoops, looks like you need to be level 30+ to even THINK about selling it to anyone but traders. You're free to continue on and see for yourself, but you aren't missing a whole lot beyond suffering.
>>550845849It's nto fear right, I'm trying to finish my shooter born but every engagement tells me to just ditch this fucking quest.
>found my first ever ledx as scav since I first started playing in 2020>have the worst possible extracts>keep having to avoid other pscavs because I don't trust those niggers>go MIA mere feet from the extract as a resultI'm never finding another one of these, fucking kill me.
>>550846109Mr lowpolycount
>>550846109There better be some R37F in this bitch.
>>550847962Everything was on high because I spent an obscene amount of money on a new 2025 gayming computer, and somehow Tarkov's snow update made the whole game lag like shit at random points, so I just lowered everything to fix it.
>>550846502Not true. You can sell most items on the flea market. lvl25 is when the game really opens up, but it sort of opens up at lvl20. It's really just marked keys that they really got gay with restrictions. You can still sell most keys at lvl25, though. The new experience requirements are insanely lame, though, and hurt the game for the worse imo
>hit a guy in the head>see blood splatter>still die (thorax, throat with 6B45 btw so I didn't even get one tapped by him)>hit count 2 (one tapped a single Scav before, meaning the headshot was registered by the game)>total damage dealt 30 (scav headshot)>0 damage absorbed by armorThis game is genuinely so fucking dogshit.
>>550846502>>550848856Ah damn, I read that they cut down on cheaters by a lot
>showing a family member tarkov>do a loot run>everything going smooth>finishing up>say I'm going to do something risky and go to one last loot spot before extracting>assure family member that it's safe, but still caution them that it's a gamble not to extract at this point>check place I've visited plenty of times before at that point in the raid, no PMCs ever>immediately sniped in the head>killed by Waited30minutestokillU (something like that)all I could do was laugh. he got me good
>>550849417I think the cheating issue was largely overblown in the first place, but the game feels the same as before- whether that's a good thing is up to you. For me, there's nothing like Tarkov in the FPS market.
I actually really like the story of the game
>>550848145I didn't realize until your comment how much damage R37F does. I took it as subpar ammo after only looking at its penetration. I do have some, but no it's just L191. I'm not good enough to legmeta.
i just love scavvin. simple as
>it's another episode of your crosshair is on the head but the enemy doesn't die
>>550842842worsearmor plates are coolnew maps run like shitstory stuff is meh, kinda cringe and implemented like slavjank from 20 years agoyou run into way more lame restrictions now "you can't put that backpack on because it has too many fuel conds in it and i said so" "cant insure your NVGs but you can still shove a thermal up your ass"the playerbase is gutted (splitting it with arena was one thing, PVE took an entire half of the food chain)and i can still pay some kid on discord 50 bucks a month for espthis game is dead on its feet and abysmal quality control is to blame
90% sure an invincible AI scav with its AI set to "raider" spawned at weather station, killed some other player off spawn then killed me when I went to investigate. Sad.
Just fucking remove jumping from the game
>>550851828Goon, miniboss
https://streamable.com/ighgocHearing people die to the scav sniper after popping their flares is never not funny
of course I manage to kill 2 out of a sweaty 3stack and die to the last nigger who somehow tanked an entire mag of bpand as an icing on the cake, all of them played like absolute pussies
>>550785196SPT with mods and playing with hardcore zero to hero rules is peak tarkov unironically
>>550852487kek yeah, especially because you can hear the border sniper shot from miles around. I swear I was hearing a guy die at the woods flare extract all the way at the scav bunker.
>>550851989MONKEY PAW ACTIVAAAAATE>jumping removed>sliding implemented
>>550851828>does he know????
got my third FIR ledx. two ledx just today. holy fuck
so, somewhere around here on Woods is three dead corpses and a grave. I've found a btc on the grave, and just found a ledx on the corpse. the ledx probably is random though. check out the grave every match if you're near it, though.
Level 20, this game has become a slog. Shitty tasks left to do, meagre XP from normal raids, tons of money but no equipment to buy that lets me actually kill people.
What plates do you anons recommend running on new prapor?
>>550855261lvl20 - 25 is hard, anon, really hardlvl25 - 30 is far worse
>>550855262Korund plates in either 6B23 armor are going to serve you well.
>>550855261the quest design assumes you have no life and a whole day to attempt a couple of quests.
>>550855543They cut XP by like 60% for no good reason, I would be past this fucking speedbump already.
>>550855859they want you to play arena. ref is still pretty good and theta is now a direct upgrade to epsilon and is even better than gamma in most cases now
>>550855859keep it up through to lvl25 at least imqho, the game gets significantly better once you clear the lvl25 hurdle and can buy silencers, etc.

>>550854848Thanks, so many little additions on woods with 1.0. I only just found jaeger's hilltop came a few days ago.
i think i now know three maps pretty decently, actually. GZ is small enough that you can have essentially the whole map downloaded into your memory within a few weeks. customs is not that complicated. and woods... woods. i think i know that map about as well as i ever could. i think i could probably find my way to any one of the major loot spots without a map, just going off of the big mountain in the middle.
>>550856410>I only just found jaeger's hilltop came a few days ago.I assume you mean camp. You aren't mistaking that for the Bogatyr camp, are you?
>>550856097>le beans and toast man REACTS to this CRAZY GUN from that one video game you like!Ian has always been better
>>550856907Yes but Ian doesn't cover vidya.
>>550855261Being below 25 is all about finding the niche weapons that perform well in certain situations and playing to their strengths. Examples include the SKS barter, the KLIN with leg ammo, or buying SVTs on flea if you want something with great thorax punching potential. Personally I love the klin with pstm, but you might not be as lucky with spraying faces as I am.You're right though that lvl20 is too low to just be able to use every gun effectively, you have to find ones with potential.
>>550856981he doesn't need to because he's not pandering to an audience of broccoli cut retards
>>550856670Yeah the camp sorry, but I don't know about bogatyr, I've been ignoring the story stuff mostly. I'm still at the point of turning tech stuff into prapor for falling skies and unlocking lighthouse via mechanic.
>>550849908the fact that you can't play labs with a decent kit on weekends without getting ragehacked on by a white name nigger chink cheater still says plenty about the cheating situation
re-installing the game for the first time in three years. how badly will I get shit on by fully kitted out players this late?
>>550857378Just installed a couple days ago and my first raid involved being spawnrushed by a moderately kitted up guy running BT on GZ. Make of that what you will.
>>550857378pretty much all that's left in the game at this point. they also like to camp beginner quest spots and will do it until there's less than five minutes left in the raid, just for the kicks
>>550857246Broccoli cut retards don't consume weapons related content though.
Are YOU a movement player?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kl57hi-e6y8
>>550857565That sounds like a typical 1-20 GZ raid. Dudes bring out the best gear they have and the spawns are all so close that rushing is one of the best strats you can have.
dude just came up the stairs with the barbed wire completely silently on GZ. theres no way i didnt hear him but he just walked right up somehow. i have practiced jumping up on the railing a million times to avoid jingling it once and i couldnt get it once. thats really tilting.
>>550857378Probably the same amount as you would have 3 years ago. Don't get too obsessed with gear, it's easier to come by than you think. The real think to worry about is game knowledge, these guys know all the new map updates and how the game works in general. Focus on learning how the works nowadays rather than stockpiling gear or something. Honestly avoiding pvp to focus on high-exp tasks is a good idea to get yourself to at least lvl2 traders asap.
>>550857359Don't play labs. Do safe loot runs for hours upon hours.
>would have killed a guy with my strafe fire but the AK rpm is so low that he passed between the bullets>my usual smg bullet hoses would have waxed him no problemMan I love AKs but this is one of the few times that really drives home their drawbacks in cqb
>comfy btr questlineSo much exp...so close to lvl25....I want that fucking blue flare again, having those on tap was so sick last wipe
Is there some kind of voip option that has to be enabled? I know my keybind and I voiped someone, I saw the little broadcast icon show up in the bottom left of the screen too with a "20" next to it. That means I'm voiping right? The guy probably didn't respond because he's an asshole lol
i fucking HATE this fucking bolt action iron sights task. iron sights are so incredibly fucking terrible in this game what the fuck
>>550860554Don't worry there's only a million more boltie tasks to do
>>550860554Then just don't do it, it's not required for Kappa.
is ap 20 still good on the mp 153
>>550860879Aren't all of the tarkov shooter quests needed for kappa?
>>550862124eh hard to say, I mean it's one of the best rounds for shotguns but in my opinion it's really just the shotty round that will most likely 1-tap someone on a headshot if you happen to dink their helmet. Other slugs will bounce off of course and flechette has a dumb habit of only having like 1 pellet land in the worst situations. If you're trying to chew through someone's lvl5 thorax with AP20 it's still gonna be kinda hard. But if you land a lucky throat shot on their lvl3 soft armor, it could 1-tap their thorax no?
>>550862305yes, and so is psycho sniper
>>550862305>>550862563Part 1 is not required.
>the green flare quest is named after the 2 cosmonaut dogscute
what servers should i select if i live in europe to avoid cheaters
>>550862458put 750k on arena so imma try out ap 20 shot builds there for a bit i guessgo for headshots? I havent used a shotty in ages and i use to just use buckshot it worked it was fine but i want something with abit more stopping power
you have to do all of inventory check in one raid now
>>550864072arena is not a great place to try out ap20, they actually buffed the stats of it significantly so it's not a good representation of how that round will behave in EFT
>>550864546well i dont ven have a option to use it anyways so fuck
>>550864642you can only run it in the 133 and revolver shotty
>>550865107are those masks the one im using good? i really havent played much in the past 3 years and a loto f the new shit is new to me still
>arctic EMR Ratnik doesn't work for Punisher 5FUCK OFFFFFFFF
>>550865180yeah. the pure black one is class 4 though, use that one if you have it.
>can't survive a raid, even my scav runsi'm ngmi, bros. i have unc reaction speed and games too hard for my retard brain
>>550864546It's also still trash because you'll hit arms or stomach 80% of the time anyway.
>>550865764>uncPlease stop using zoomer lingo it's not fun.Tarkov is one of the slowest possible FPS games out there, this has absolutely nothing to do with your 'reactions'.What is really different here, this game has negative acceleration and variable mouse sensitivity. If you just started playing everything feels wrong and it's impossible to even hit anything. Do this: play something else (FPS) for a couple of hours and then play Tarkov. The difference is pretty unreal, aiming feels so ass because of these factors I mentioned.
>>550866509well, whatever it is, i fucking suck at the game. it feels like it requires an entirely unique skillset from other games, and i can only build on those skills by throwing away my entire inventory
>>550866736You need to match your sensitivity with other games, just don't be autistic with it. Also match your ADS and hipfire sensitivity in Tarkov so they are approx. the same.It takes a long time to get used to and then there's other faggotry to think about outside of aiming alone. Map knowledge, bullets and armor and the wonderful soviet-era netcode and so on.You just need to play a lot until it feels better.
i found a 100 durability m1a just sitting on the ground in factory bathrooms
>>550867150oh theyre not actually super rare. barter for some cheap junk from peacekeeper l2
>>550866736Everyone feels that way at first, bro. Don't worry about it. Keep playing and you'll slowly get better. The game is hard mode already going solo, remember that.
>found a slick in the weapon crate in nubunker on Woodswhat a find
Do NOT go Woods. This is your only warning.
>>550868606That bunker is extremely hit or miss, but when it hits?Good god.>Power filters>Intel>Marked keys>Grenades and ammo
>>550867118you really dont. tarkov barely requires actual aiming, and rather just crosshair placement, which only gets better with experience and map knowledge when you understand where other players can and will be
>>550869937>barely requires aiming>just ai-- i mean place your crosshairs better haha
why am i so bad at arena but im OK at regular EFT?
a rat just took out both of my legs. bad time to realize that i brought precisely zero medications into raid. somehow managed to survive it, found some bandages, and limped and groaned my way all across the map from emercom to nakatani somehow without getting destroyed. wtf

>>550871741Those are some of the best raids. Very intense.
>>550871765>playing PVE>scavving in PVE>scavving in general
>>550871765so he just murdered them? wtf
>>550871152Arena in its current state requires you to play much differently than base tarkov. The lack of inertia and instant death ammo makes it a more weird and faster paced game.
>>550807052Scav Bois Rise Up!
>make a game with hundreds of different armors, weapons, attachments>make half of the quests force you to use very specific gear so you never have the opportunity to use 80% of what the game has to offerFascinating design.
>make a couple of 300-350m kills on woods last night with a Remington and BCP>had a tinge of regret though because I didn't have any tasks to do soI'm fucking mindbroken by this game. I didn't even get to retrieve the tags because nobody bothered to kill Shturman and his goons fucked me up on my cross to RUAF
>>550873624Shturman and his boys are piss easy right now though
>>550873673They are, and they're even easier when you can take them out from 300 meters, but I expected them to be dead so I got my leg taken out off painkillers and went into a death spiral.
>TWO thermal niggers camping in their spawn on lighthouseRemove this dogshit faggot map from the game
Bolt action quests shouldn't be required for kappa period. These quests fucking suck
what are the best spots to find dead PMCs on Interchange and Customs?
>>550873870They're the best quests in the game thoughbeit.
>>550873870Tarkov Shooter 3 takes a bit of banging your head against the wall, but the rest of them are basically just sitting around and waiting.
>>550873870I don't mind tasks that require you to change up your playstyle like the bolty tasks. The ones I hate are all the stupid fucking tasks that require you to use awful gear like peacekeeping mission or the multiple tasks that require kills with a paca on.
>>550865764This man has gotten kappa more than once. Learn from himhttps://www.youtube.com/shorts/O3JSl4CPo9Q

He literally had his gun aimed at me when he sidestepped into view, and there was no way he could have known where I was - I was in some random ass spot, too.
>>550875016I was also probably 200-300m away? Very far. So no chance he heard me.
>>550870024yes, you don't need good aim to pre-emptively place your crosshair on where your enemies are likely coming from. if you're fighting many players at the same time and want to e.g. transfer your spray to another target after killing one, that requires good aim, but 95% of the players can't do that, yet many of them are decent at the gamehe specifically complained about his reaction speed, which clearly isn't the cause for him being shit
>>550874807Idea/Oli side of the mall is railway extract, the opposite corner of the map is emercom extract. Good luck.
>>550874807Just follow the walls along the edge of the map, but go slow for the 1st 5-10 mins while everybody runs into the mall or scav camp. If you go too quickly, somebody may hear you before they get far enough away from their spawn
If i'm going to shoot someone's legs off with a 12g would it be better to use slugs or buckshots?
>>550875751>>550876195i'm currently "transferring to customs" thinking it was an extract that unlocked customs. how bad did i fuck up
>>550876816Buckshot
https://streamable.com/pjsg9pThis is what game knowledge is all about, two kills totally for free.

I guess it's cheap to some people or w/e, but to me it's sick to be able to think a couple steps ahead and read right through people like that.
>>550873521Don't forget>make half the gear useless because of stats
>>550876860Try alt f4 before it loads, but it's probably already too late. Enjoy getting killed by a shotgun :^)
>>550876860Won't survive/10Dead Timmy storage/10
>>550876860If you insured your gear dump it in a bush before navigating customs, but then again it's doubtful that anybody will take it anyways
>>550877005>>550877058aw man. i figured the story quest meant to extract from interchange on the customs transit but turns out i'm retarded
>>550877282I think that it can work for that quest, but you have to alt f4 right when the screen goes goes black after transiting in order to take advantage of the exploit. Who knows maybe you'll get lucky on customs just go slow as fuck and hope you find some food/water
>bring sniper>dogshit faggot fogcunt game not rigged at all
>>550873870I don't mind having to use bolt guns. I like them, even. I just fucking resent the ever living fuck of having to use iron sights
>>550878004make sure you link your account to twitch :^)
>>550877538>>550877058>>550877005i played it like a fag and camped the back room of old gas for like 15 minutes until it got dark but i lived
>>550880087Yeah that's how tarkov is generally played desu. Where'd you extract though?
>>550880496i ran to admin gate thinking it was crossroads so i had to run across the map
>>550880087Genuinely shocked if you extracted customs on your 1st time playing the map. Wonder what the deal was with that lobby. So you just ran along the main road then? It's actually one of the safest routes I suppose
>pvp sweatier than ever>pve feels desolate and lonely>spt just updated and modders are all putting their versions in their specific discordsthis shit blows, how do i get that feeling of wanting to play back from 2019?
>>550880985How the fuck can you be interested in spt if you've played since 2019? That shit's not much better than pve in terms of desolation. Bots are retarded no matter how many mods you use and you still always have your pick of all the best loot every time
Speaking of SPT, you can run a server for it locally for the people who like to co-op, right? Could you potentially run a private server if you got like 5 guys together or something where you all try to kill eachother?
>>550876936nice esp faggot
>>550881612Probably with FIKA
>level 22>customs day time>fucking around with my friend in directors trying to shoot eachother and melee eachother>hear gunfight and nades near trains>walk over to 4 dead bodies>player who killed knight taps my friend and I mosin him in the chest>take 950k roubles of loot and slow walk to zb>sell everything and load back into my mosini love budget running 24/7
>>550881612I'm not sure if you can queue against your friends. I know you can run your own server for FIKA to coop
>>550876936that's strategy is as old as the deathmatch game type itself and not unique to tarkov but good for you anon
>>550880978this was my route. i hung out at old gas until about 18 mins left. by that time it was quiet and dark enough that i stuck to the walls of the main road and prayed
>>550881981>ran right down the middle of the mappsycho timmy behavior
>>550881961*that
>>550881804Ah lame. I kinda wanna try fucking around with a couple things to see if I can make a balanced version of PvP. Maybe nerfing painkillers and armor and fiddling around with the stats of certain attachments
>>550881981Yeah that's a decent route, especially in the dark. Good shit and good practice for the survive customs quest. Kill any scavs by chance, or just run away?
>>550882475i killed three that wandered into the back room of old gas where i was hiding. lots of footsteps aside from that
>>550881419spt has some mods that make bots behave nearly identical to people, and just some interesting things to keep a little wigga interestedbut it's lagging behind quite a bithowever it's a direct improvement over pve
>>550882736Must've got a decent amount of xp then. Funny because had you gone straight to the correct extract from your spawn you probably would've got killed
>>550880087Damn, anon, great job. Way better than me my first dozen times.
>>550883171yeah i think so. i have a quest on Ground Zero, and i read it's the beginner map. is it just an easy layout, or is there something else that makes it newbie friendly?
>>550883451GZ is segregated with levels 1-20 and 21+ lobbies. It's also a comparatively small map with relatively straightforward layouts. Unfortunately the map has some of the worst spawns in the entire game.
>>550883139i played it with those mods and they still did retarded shit all of the time. is it an improvement over bsg's pve? sure but they're obviously still just bots most of the time. i wish that it gave the adrenaline of pvp but it just doesn't
>>550883451easy layout. it's kind of tough because there's a lot of pvp
>>550883139>spt has some mods that make bots behave nearly identical to peopleholy fucking cope
>>550883451Learn to use the underground route and it'll save you a lot of headaches. Also the green flare extract with the body which has a green flare on it. When you get the hard drive from the terragroup building gtfo of the building asap. That quest and the wine bottle will probably give you the most grief of the bunch, but it's probably all noobs playing the map at this point at least
>>550884138there is no cope hereyou're simply ignorant
>>550883451there's 2 queues for GZ, below L20 & above L20 (not sure which one L20 gets into)Most players are above level 20 at this point so only gamer dads & new players are still in the below 20 queue
>>550884509It's 1-20 and 21+.
>toxic game>helpful generalwhy is this always the case on this board
>>550885190Don't be fooled, there can be some real niggers ITT on occasion. In general though, the way I look at it, is that the game is already ball busting enough. There's not any reason to be an unhelpful cocksucker in the general on top of that.
>>550885190Truth is that it's a cult and we need all the Timmys we can get for sacrifice
>>550884396nah breh fr fr that one cray declare
>>550884396yeah I bet people who play PvE to get away from players use/make mods to make bots that play like playerscompletely disregarding the fact that people who do this for a living can't even do that
BSG are such fucking miserable faggots for making it so you lost 99% of your exp when you die.
>>550885190>toxic gameHow so? I don't think i've interacted with people in game more than two times in a thousand hours.
>>550883451>is it just an easy layoutIt is a fairly easy layout, but the map is anything but beginner friendly. Spawns are very close and the objectives for most of the map's tasks are either behind chokepoints (single stairwells that are easily camped) or extremely exposed. It's genuinely a meatgrinder of a map.
>>550885965Every once in a while you'll get a dude who's cool, but the majority are either insufferably annoying nerds or unfunny brown-handed douchebags
>>550840002Needs some sort of anime teleport sound
>>550846574Dude shooter born is ASS on that map now that they add the flare extract basically everyone leaves through there or dorms V-EX so if you spawn at west or east side and nobody runs into you in the first 5 mins you probably wont see ANYONE in the snipable spots. Plus the code spots
>>550839691they're probably compensating insane boost from arena dailies
>>550857359I mean yeah, it's the most cheater central place in the game. I always thought you should get free labs cards every week and that way cheaters cant just spam it so normal people can have a chance
Reminder that the lights that require a separate mount still don't give the point fire accuracy bonus
>camping in a resort bathroom, just want to do my tasks>some dude runs into the same room,stops in front of the bathroom door and begins to loot something on the ground>begin unloading 545 BTs into his back>felt like I hit him at least 15 times but it was supposedly 7 hits>he turns around, aims at my face and kills meyeah I was totally meant to lose that engagement
>camp around warehouse 3 on customs because guy is sprinting inside it>10 minutes passed he's still sprinting>give upyou won this time
>>550857378Probably half the people I meet are level 25 or higher now, but if you play ground zero you can only match with level 21s and lower so you can avoid a lot of gayness that way. Also, woods has a LOT of new players and bolt actions/ambushing can beat any kit on that map so I'd recommend that one too. Customs is aids be careful there.
>>550887202>forgot image
>get my arena daily task done>afk for the rest of the gameWish you could just leave.
>>550887532I've started doing that. Arena is just so fucking miserable right now.
>>550887202None of them should to begin with. Using a laser should be the only way
>>550887714Normally I would agree, but it's obviously unintended as the surefire with a direct picatinny mount gives the bonus. So either they require a laser or unfuck all the laser/light combos so that you need the laser on to benefit from the buff, which you currently don't.
>>550859714what one, AKM? yeah it's super low you might as well just use the 366 semi auto one with APM
>>550887714A laser tightening your spread is just as retarded. Shouldn't be a thing at all.
>>550866736I have 2k hours and suck at the game (been playing for almost a decade on and off) but I still have some big raids I pull out of my ass. My suggestion is to practice one gun you like, one map you like, and one style of play you like (eg ratting, running, etc). You'll learn faster that way than swapping guns and what youre doing every time. Also try to focus on one objective on a time: loot, quests, killing players.
>>550888092I unironically think a laser will help you tighten the spread IRL since you have a visual representation of where you're aiming
>>550887859I thought that you had to use the laser with the combos like that or the kletsch 2p to get it?
>dude sweating with an ak-12>dude sweating with an mp7>two dudes in the lobby spend the entire game SEETHING at me You'd think retards would get mad at other shit but there's something about shotguns that tilts the absolute FUCK out of shitters. I'd bet at least 90% of my deaths were to a single bullet even wearing a level 5 helmet anyway, these guys really need to get their priorities straight.
>>550890165>forgot image againThe aa-12 isn't even that good. I would've probably dropped 50+ kills if I were using my sweaty kits against this lobby.
>>550885965combat is a form of interaction and if you aren't seeing the dirty tactics these animals are up to; you're not paying attentionlatest trend its just stacking up and camping the transit to terminal the person who put both endgame maps behind snoreline is a truly demented sadist
