Should I be toggling my sensitivity to be higher while I sprint? Most tarkob gigachads seem to have ridiculously high sens in general.
>>555901819no>Most tarkob gigachads seem to have ridiculously high sens in generalnot from what I've looked, or at least I play with higher than most and my sens isn't super high
>>555901819freelook sensitivity is all you need is that what youre seeing?
>>555902860No i mean like when i see videos of people sprinting their turnspeed seems to be even faster than mine is while I'm just moving around.
>>555903135you might be onto something , maybe
>>555903339I watch Liedge a lot and one of the things he always does in dorms when going upstairs is sprint across, open the door, and sprint back. I've tried to replicate it over and over again but I can't get it as smooth as he does it. The "sprint -> open -> stop sprint -> turn around -> sprint" chain always bogs down in the transition between stopping and starting sprinting again. I think he toggles sens and just never stops sprinting.
Documents Case from a Cultist Circle sacrifice yupyupyup that's good.

>>555901819>>555903135Learn to throw your mouse the fuck aroundPros seem to change sensitivity but they're just using their full arm (which makes precise movements easier than trying to slightly adjust your wrist alone)But there are also people in any competitive scene who break the mould e.g. high sens or keyboards in fighting games, so try whatever works for you
>>555906393>virgin "The Wiggle That Killed Tarkov">chad "Do the wiggle to trick Pscavs"
Pretty sad that EFT and Arena will never have another update
>>555907102The good old days...https://youtu.be/Slb2NJvyv24?t=19
>>555907642I hate that we're stuck with one Tarkov video a year from him, and that's if we're lucky.
>>555907773The wiggle arc killed his enjoyment of the game, saw a stream once and he was mentioning that "one in every X raids has a cheater" statistic that was going around
>>555908184I've heard that he likes the game but doesn't like making videos about it because that's all people ask for and he wants to cover other games too.
Once you get through the start and middle quests and only have lame ass use this gun or go here to kill people quests its fucking gay. I left test drive until i was lvl 42 and its a fucking slog i can't even bear to just run around with killing people as my only objective.
>>555908184I was cheating for a few raids and you've honestly got at least 1-2 cheaters every single raid.
>>555908716I never said it was wrong
>>555909101Is loving another man wrong...?
>>555908184>>555908716I still dont believe that stat but maybe. Destiny 2 cheats maker aim junkies apparently made 1-2 million off cheating that is a lot of users. I dunno though doesnt feel like that many people cheat in tarkov they never know where I am
So, that's the point of doing non-story tasks after I've gotten traders to LL4, unlocked the things I require and gotten high enough level? Don't really feel like getting Kappa anymore either.At this point, I just want to escape from Tarkov.
>>555883268Second and third floor of pinewood facing towards the mall. You can get anyone that kills kolontay and tries to loot a guard and camp green flare as well
>>555912470So do the story tasks then? Only Saviour ending requires you to basically complete 90% of the game, so go for the other endings.
You just know that the rest of the day's raids are going to be complete fucking dogshit, when the first raid is me running around for 20 minutes seeing nor hearing anything and then getting sniped in the head god knows where.
>find the X-17 lower>want to build the whole gun>can't buy the upper receiver from traders>they can only be bought on the flea for 150-200kYeah cool.
>>555914042+1 SBIH for me
>>555914583Probably, yeah, lol. At least give me some SCAVS to kill before you snipe me, though. Need some early game tasks done.
>>555914042Second raid in a row where I just get headshot with a sniper like 20 minutes into the raid without seeing nor hearing anything. What. All on Customs and I at least try to stay indoors as much as possible. Like what the hell is everyone else doing? The raid is completely silent and then I get instatapped to head from the other side of the map while switching buildings.Here I am trying to make my way every raid to that building that requires you to plant the cameras and kill people inside. I never make it there. If I try to rush there, I get sniped to the head and if I try to just take it slow and slowly make my way there I get sniped to the head. Literally impossible to even enter that building.
>>555916379Which way are you going? Unless I get the absolute perfect spawn, I'm only ever entering one way, from the railroad. Never ever maintain sight lines to fortress after just a few minutes. That wide open space between crackhouse and fortress is total suicide at pretty much any point in the raid. Avoid it... basically always. I can't think of a single reason why you would ever traverse it unless you're trying to make it to green flare with like a minute left. As weird as it feels, use the main road. Stick to the wall and move between cover. Try to keep cover or concealment between you and everything behind you. At the overpass, just sprint up and over the raised causeway. If someone shoots at you, jump over the wall and take cover (unless they're shooting you from there, but they rarely are). Customs can be a pain to maneuver, but using the main road solved a lot of the pain points for me.
>>555917150I've had a variety of spawns, but my latest one (the two raids prior to this were near dorms and new gas):>spawn near big red>make my way for the bridge>see someone in front of me, so hang back, so I don't just get domed again>someone comes from my back, decked up>fire my SVD at him, since he saw me and took out all my limbs>throw a nade and gulp a painkiller, so I can at least escape, since I'm in a shitty spot>get shot in the head by someone else 2 minutes later while heading to that buildingAt least now I died in like 3-4 minutes instead of 20 minutes of getting nothing done. I've now drained my stash of all my money, all my weapons, all my armor and backpacks. I'm literally back to running around pretty much naked or have to rely on my scavs to get gear now.
>>555907553Is it true they're going to leave the game on life support while they milk their new space game?
>>555917721Maybe out of left field, but... how are your stress levels in raid? Are you constantly crushing carbon into diamonds in your butt all raid? Totally detached? Somewhere in between?
I can never find a single fucking pmc on lighthouse, how the hell am I supposed to get assessment done?
>>555907553Wait, what? Has BSG confirmed that they won't be introducing anything new to EFT? Nobody gives a fuck about Arena, so it's actually good thing, if it dies.
>>555918251>>555918468You're getting baited
>>555917721I'm level 54 and I haven't completed that lame arena quest yet. Just don't do it?
>>555918468>>555918543Yeah Nikita said he moved the entire development team to the new game and EFT will only get live service small holiday updates to coincide with the battlepasse cosmetics.
>>555918362At the moment? I'm at that state of having lost all hope and I go into every raid knowing I'll just die instantly. But when things aren't going as bad as now, I tend to be somewhat relaxed, even in combat. Now I'm in full nihilism mode, though. My performance just varies greatly from day to day, some days I'm winning every fight and
>>555914804I just finished the Scavs on Woods while drinking Milkies quest, you have free reign bro go nutso mode
>>555918714>some days I'm winning every fightYou're probably better at the game than I am then kek. I rarely have days where I win even half my fights. I thought you were new. Maybe it's just tarkov being tarkov
>>555917721next raid, as the story goes:>same spawn, near big red>this time I took with me 5.45 BP ammo and that semi auto rifle with a scope and a silencer>try to find a place to hide, since surviving the raid any other way seems to be impossible>a lot of silenced fire starts happening near me>just think to myself that as the story goes, someone will just stumble upon me>lots of steps near by, like 4 or 5 people>just stay silent, since I have no possibility of escaping nor fighting anyone>eventually one of them just kinda happens to run into me>it's a dude with a raid backpack and an altyn>take a few shots, all absorbed by armor>die to .300 AP to the headI'm so very fucking tired at this point. I'll just start going in with nothing but paca and a barebones shotgun without a fucking backpack.>>555918548I just need that Ref rep. Tried to do that great heights task, but ended up losing like 12 games in a row and losing a lot of money, so decided to go this route instead. Though, even this is working very little in my favor.
People seem to be better at fighting than me. They rush me and shoot. I also notice I will die everytime if I W key towards an enemy.
>>555919074Yeah, I don't know. Either my SR is 0% or close to 100%, feels like there's no in-between for me. And yeah, I'm not new, but now I'm performing worse than your average timmie, lol.
>>555919287If you ever do great heights again I highly recommend checkpoint. Just keep capping points on the flanks and hip firing everyone you see.
>thorax'd by lapua ap from a 300 hour accountCool
>>555919496That 12 games of losing was in CPT, lol. Every game my teammates were just running around with bolt-actions and sawn off shotguns having like 0-1 captures throughout the match. I just kinda gave up. Prior to that ran TF, but felt like I got matched against premade groups a lot and just got crushed every match.
>>555919512It really makes me feel good when people have no idea where I am because then I think wow this person is a bonafide legit player that isn't cheating.
>>555919287Found a revolver in my stash, so threw it on and spent my last rubles on some sweet sweet paca armor. Didn't have enough cash to insure any of my gear anymore. Wish me luck, lads. If I die, that's it. I'm once again death spamming until bankruptcy or success and so far the latter seems to be happening.
>>555920016Well, at least I got inside the building. On my way there saw a three man squad and of course they came here too. Just fucking ran as fast as I could and hid in this spot hoping that my running would drown in their own running. Now I'm hoping that they don't just walk into me while looting or whatever the fuck they are doing here. I'm going to wait here. I'm so tired to dying to literal firing squads.
>>555921025Well, everything went silent and I heard a scav just roaming around, so stepped out of my hiding spot eventually. Died fucking instantly to a prestige 5 PMC with 10k hours played.That's it, lads. I'm at 0 money and my stash is out of gear.
>>555921362>500 million roubles endingSoulless.
FACTORYSCAVS I'M COMING FOR YOU NIGGA!
The weekend is the worst time to play, this is the most miserable I've been in a while.
>>555922270Can anyone explain why this is? Shouldn't it be the opposite?
>>555922597More squads, more cheaters, more people willing to camp and rat to get a task done.
>>555921362Play on colombia server to get your feet in the door.
>>555922597All the kids and normalfags are at home and they squad up. Raids are packed with PMCs.
>>555923107Even the complete normalfag that I occasionally get in a squad with a buddy of knows about columbia servers.
>final kill for sbih on lighthouse>it bouncesFucking kill me.
>>555923718Should've used a cartridge with a lower ricochet probability :-)
>>555923718>next guy that comes by no intel throws a grenade directly on meSweet.
>>555900993https://youtu.be/X9kqyqswsL8the new space game from bsg
>>555924014I guess I'll just play only on weekdays.
>>555923107Sadly I live on the other side of the planet and don't really know any dead servers here in Europe. If I selected Colombian servers, I'd just get kicked out due to high ping probably.
might be video game fatigue but tarkov is really fucking boring now. i was hoping with 1.0 it would be this epic story with tons of cool missions but we never really got any of that. just more boring grind.
>>555924182>tarkov but spaceslopI guess Russia 2028 never ever?
>>555925723Tarkov is Russia 2028, just switch to PvE blyatt. niggita
>>555925723Russia 2028 took too long to develop, it has been rebranded to Russia 2128 and turned into a space game.
>in space everyone happens to use old world guns and there are no plasm guns lasts or rail guns Kek Russia brain
>>555927187To be fair conventional weapons would still be very effective in space.
>>555927187Good.
psst... the lantac blast mitigation device is way better than suppressors...
Elite Crafting bonus also works for Scav Case? Nice.
>>555929415Maybe but I'd rather alert only half the map to my presence instead of the entire map. I'll run it in Arena once they add it there tho.
>>555929415It's not, but it's the only muzzle device with comparable stats
>>555921362>be this anon>got some money by playing on my scav and got back to it>finally a good raid, killed 3 PMCs near that camera building>packed with loot, 2,5 minutes left, but have a green flare>try to crawl for the exfil>AT FUCKING 2 MINUTES LEFT A SWEATY AS FUCK PMC APPEARS AT FORT>Of course he FUCKING DOES>hit him like fucking 30 times with my dogshit ammo and a few times with .50 BMG shotgun slugs I got off my kill>he just doesn't fucking die>lob 3 nades, he takes damage from at least TWO OF THEM, but doesn't die>he somehow manages to escape and gets inside old gas, which was active>I go MIA just when I was about to fire the flareThis is like so fucking surreal, what the FUCK. Like JESUS FUCKING CHRIST I'M SO FUCKING FED UP WITH THIS FUCKING GAME.
>>555924182>from the guys who brought you the worst 10-years-to-1.0 in history>futureslop>bwammlol. no.
>>555930502And yeah, I'm once again at 0 rubles. Oh boy, what a fucking joy it is to play this fucking game holy fuck.
>>555921362>>555930502>>555930670Out of curiosity, what are your stats? Even when I was new to the game I was never even close to being completely broke and I never understood how one can manage to reach such levels of poverty.
>>555930915Currently at a loading screen, but last time I checked my SR was 50% and KDR was like 9 or something. My average raid time used to be like 35 minutes in the past, but this wipe has been at like fucking 10 minutes.Blew a ton of money on upgrading my stash and ended up with like ~4 million rubles. Then I failed that great heights task 3 times in a row and was left with a million. Then I just deathspammed that million into Customs by dying like >10 times today, just scraping by stuffing random streamer items into my secure container with other goodish loot. Now I'm at like 3000 rubles.I've done like 10-15 raids today and have not survived a single one. Not. A. Single. One. All on Customs too. At first I went in with decentish gear, then I started to go full poverty mode, then scav mode and at the end like full pistol + paca-mode. Last raid I had some okayish gear with me, slaughtered most of the lobby and still got fucked by sheer shit ass fucking luck and got my first MIA in like 3 wipes.
>>555908716how could you tell? why did you cheat?
they should remove suppressors off the flea market and severely restrict them so only the ones you need for the quests are buyable but they're on like a 1 buy per reset. i say this because i want every raid to actually feel alive with gunshots ringing out everywhere.
>>555931396>failed that great heights task 3 times in a rowlmao yep thatll do ya. i think i failed it 5 fucking times.
>>555930502Gaming is shit. Videogames are bad.
>need 2 more kills at cinema>good spawn>watch 3 scavs go inside as im running up>go inside>game freezes as i bounce the first round off penis helmet>hold the trigger and aim by prayer>die>13 hits>no killfuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuckkk offfffffff
>>555924971You can try Dubai or Nigeria or something. Or Scav on Columbia and see if it kicks you. Anything with a matching time of 5min+ will probably be dead as fuck.
>>555934587Maybe I should give that a try, yes. I'm literally mindbroken at this point.
>turn in The Price of Independence to BTR>blue flare barter doesn't unlock from mechanicAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH fucking hell lol, this shit better get sorted out. I submitted a bug report about it, we'll see. I've had a decent experience with their bug reporting system actually.
What did my PMC mean by this? My "avatar" just stayed like that in trading screens.
>>555932383some video games are good
>>555936007Sinister ahh diddyblvd.
I love when pscavs voip at me like "IM JUST SCAV BRO WHAT THE FUCK" after I shoot at them. Like, yea cunt, what the fuck are you expecting? That I'm gunna let le hecking innocent scaverino just walk by? I go out of my way to murder every pscav that I see
>>555936007I donno but it's funny
>>555936237I tortured a pscav into literally giving up and going AFK yesterday. He submitted to my big PMC cock.
>looting and killing scavs as a PMC inside that new building next to fort>sorting my inventory and just going through the loot>hear someone walk outside, but not in a ai scav manner>he stays silent for a while, I also stop and just stay quiet>after a while he voips something in Russian>just say something like "Huh?">he proceeds to speak more Russian>once again reply with a confused "What?">says something more in Russian, but also hear the word "russkiy">just tell him that I don't speak Russian>says something in the line of "Oh, okay. You want some loot bro? I can show you some loot.">"Kinda sus, bro.">"Okay." and just runs awayMaybe he really had some loot, who knows? I wish there were more funny encounters like these.
>>555931596In my opinion, the issue is really twofold. It's not that access to suppressors is to high, but that there's no incentive to run anything else. There's like, one single muzzle device and one combo device that has similar recoil reduction to the higher tier suppressors. Every other muzzle device has half the recoil reduction for the benefit of, what? Ergo? You can still get 40/50 ergo on the higher tier weapons while suppressed which is more than enough. The other muzzle devices need to have both: higher recoil reduction, and for them to actually fucking DO SOMETHING WHY THE FUCK DO FLASH HIDERS, BRAKES, COMPENSATORS, ETC. NOT ALTER MUZZLE FLASH You don't need to have every muzzle device rival the combo suppressors but they need to be higher in general.
If BSG were really based they would add the type 89
>>555937083This has been suggested so many times it's insane that BSG hasn't implemented this.
>>555937083You're not wrong
at least one cheater in every single arena lobby.
>>555936007>>555936259>Rawr :3
>>555937083Yeah....the change to suppressors in terms of their loudness was a step in the right direction for 1.0, but there's still so many steps to take before the muzzle device system makes sense.
Is this shit just bugged? I can't find a single barrel that the new Alien Engineering suppressor system works on.https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/AR-15_Allen_Engineering_SPR_Collar_suppressor_mount#Conflicting_Items
>>555941631There's like, two, that it fits on. One of the 18 inch barrels, iirc? I have a rifle with one on but I can't be fucked to close the game I'm playing just to spend 5 minutes waiting for tarkov to open to check for you.
>>555941631It works on the Mk12 barrels.
>go inside of the mall on interchange for a pvp task>40 minutes of running in circles, can't hear a single shot or any signs of a pmc>go outside>get shot by three different lapua bullets from three different directionscrazy just how much shittier they made an already dogshit map with that expansion
is setup a retarded task for stupid nigggggersasking 4 a friend
>>555943846just scav in browalked into the mall, saw this guy cowering in the supermarket and all it took was some buckshot to his face
>>555943992nice loot, but how can I do chumming as a scav?
>>555943964No it's great now that you can use the MP-18 for it.
Freezing every 15 seconds what the fuck is this shit
>>555945047Restart your shit
I finally understand why RPM is the only thing that matters in arena. It doesn't matter if my bullet does 60 damage and yours only does 40 if you are able to land three shots before i can land two. Not only that but your bullets will reliably track my head like a laser beam if you're flailing at me with m1 held down where my bullets might just bracket you. Very disappointing revelation
setup was actually good when you could buy ammo off the flea earlier in the wipe. got it done with by just using ap 20's and rushing spawns. honestly if you're struggling with the task and aren't some neurotic sperg that cares about muh kd just load up your gun with the highest flesh damage buckshot rounds and go rush spawns and aim for feet. should get it over and done with quickly
>>555924182read this off reddit a while ago so it might be wrong but idc>be game investor>a company comes using Nikita's name to pitch a web3 game (some crypto jargon)>join pitch call with them>Nikita never shows up>turn them down>they get hostile in return>get "nasty email" back from them afterwardsand after reading that originally and looking at the trademark filing I think it confirms that is going to be some crypto adjacent tarkov clone in space.
>>555924182not gonna be open world, not gonna have space ship battles, probably just more arc raider-tier slop
>multiple backend errors daily>constant rubberbanding>hundreds of random other errorsI'm so tired of this game man, it's not a """beta""" anymore yet it feels like no one is ever talking about how NOTHING has improved with 1.0.
>two people with 6 kills over a full checkpoint match>im at 30 kills with most caps in game>we are constantly at 0 points captured>the second i cap something unless i stay there it will be immediately recapped because everyone on my team is brainlessly throwing themselves at the bad left hander on B over and over and over againi just want two more victories so i can stop playing this shit
>>555927187guns work fine in spess as the cartridges are self-oxidizing. you just need to worry about heat dispersion
What's the best route to run for GSkulls and bronze lions? I've been opening safes in customs for hours and still can't get the last few I need for scav box
>>555962154Whatever your best safe route is. It's seriously just luck.
Oh shit. A slap across Nikita's face. The gauntlet has been thrown down.
>>555962154I scav'd streets and hit valuable spawns, the chek building has one near the wardens corpse and upstairs in one of the cells
Is this worth it
>>555962967XP > roubles
>>555962967XP > Roubles at a certain point.
>>555962967You're not losing that much money anyway. 416s are like 100k~ on the flea as is.
What are the safest extracts on labs? Can I just take vent shaft?
>>555964139Sewage Conduit is rather comfy
>>555964139Doesn't that require not having a backpack? The elevator is barely much farther than that anyway.
>>555964221Should I run straight to the basement as fast as I can from spawn? I just want to get out alive for the guide right now
>>555943846The outside belongs to sniper chads it's their world you're just living in it
>>555964139I ran down a flight of stairs, heard two guys coming, domed one, the other voip'd and we were both just trying to get out and unlock labs, so I took him to vent shaft and left
>>555964139>>555964221The transit is the safest. No one ever fucks with transit late raid and you will run into no one. Just sprint past the raiders. Every single time I successfully got off labs was transit then alt f4 when screen black.
>>555924182This is going to fall. Tarkov is good because it started as a fan project and have a lot of passion and Russian/Soviet things in it.
>>555966740Idiot.
What is the point of 9mm when every other pistol/pdw cartridge is not only better than pbp but also like 2x cheaper?
>>555967069this is the same as beloved Witcher 3.Setting that existed or made by someone else before the game and is already loved by everyone.Creating something new is different, space whatever is going to fail badly.
>>5559679959mm has a lot of guns that use it.
Lighthouse is next, wish me luck.
>>555971084Btw transiting immediately counts as survived if you want to cheese it
>finished 18 tasks across 10 hours of tarkov yesterdayAhem. Fuck Lighthouse, fuck Snoreline, fuck Nikita and fuck Jannies.
>>555974970>10h of tarkov on weekendseems like Nikita won
>>555971084Died with two left, some niggerman chased me down the whole match on shoreline
>>555977140do shoreline earlier bad spawns and no transits
>>555977447I spawned right next to scav camp and thought no one would go there after having done the exact same thing dozens of raids with no issues. Someone was there, and willing to not move while camping me out, then chase me the moment I run all the way around near the back of the map. I'm pissed and not attempting the guide for a long while.
I don't want to get in fights with players when I'm doing some stupid fucking quest, but once I'm out of quests what will I do? Fighting people is worthless because I don't need their guns, armor, or loot because making money is so easy. It's just annoying to have to justify if a fight is worth engaging in or if I should just run away to get a quest done when I feel like the game should have more in place to encourage me to fight
What's the community's thought on Labyrinth?
>>555982026Probably positive overall. It's a cool map and was super fun pvp when it wasn't 5 guys waiting for one of the other 4 to walk in front of them.
>>555981572Just go for pvp, always. The only time I would ever avoid it is if I found an extremely high value item, but now that shit doesn't need to be FIR to list on flea market I just shove everything up my ass and Shift + W to gunshots if they're close by. To me personally there is nothing more satisfying in this game than dropping people and taking their shit, task progression is fun and all but it's very one-dimensional (90% are just fetch quests).
>run up to cinema>watch relax>take my shot and miss>run opposite way>some guy still in his starting store spawn man, this map and game is truly terrible. Level 45's just sitting in spawn for 10+ minutes to do test drive why even bother opening the game
>>555982340I don't find the pvp to be very fun because I'm not very good at it. It's the kind of thing where engaging in it just feels like getting my ass beat without learning any lessons at all. I don't feel like I'm learning and getting better at it, I feel like I'm at exactly the same amount of skill I had at the start of the wipe
>>555982489Pvp in this game is mainly a gear check and rng
>>555982489Just use flechette shotgun rounds barely even have to aim. Use tripwires. But if you cant find any fun things to do then just stop playing I guess
>>555982652I have worn class 5 only for the past month straight and it still feels like I am wearing paper. The few times I did wear class 6 I still got my shit melted by m80 from garbage guns anyways. It's so fucking tiring
>>555982840Yeah I'd rather have 855a1 and a paca than class six and SOST
>fighting someone on the edge of the map>hear the border sniper go POWoh dear someone made an oopsy
>>555982489pvp in most situations is more about awareness and knowing spawns/pathing than anything else. Get good at these and you'll find yourself getting the drop on people most of time.This of course does not apply to certain areas like dorms or resort in which pvp is absolutely degenerate and enjoyed only by sado-masochists and Lvndmark viewers.
>>555984438>know where to sit and camp people and you can be GOOD too!
I've noticed the times I hit moving targets are when I move my dot in front of them and let them walk into my shot instead of tracking themLast raid I missed 4 shots on a trio spawning near chopper. Then a literal repeat happened again the next raid so I got another chance, one of this guys trio got me after again but who cares. Almost done SBIH!
Man interchange is really spawn dependent. The spawns on the sniper side facing the river fucking suck. Emercom fucking blows.
>>555984535Being aware of where people might be moving around the map does not mean that you sit and camp.
>>555986234>>555984535it lets you avoid the campers too>know sniper spot exists>hug walls or cover and never stop in the kill zoneI rarely die to shit like that now that I 1) know spawns 2) know camp spots
>>555987351There are no camp spots on interchange
This "lost connection" bullshit never happened before, what did they break this time? 4 times in one weekend when 0 times before this. I also killed some guy it happened to as well I think
>>555987449For me it's sitting on top of power
sniping is like deer hunting you just wait for the animal to stumble into view and pow right in the kisser
>>555987805I feel like there's too many sightlines there. I used to always get fucked by people on the second story of the mall above the parking garage. Is it better now?
>>555987958you can control where you peek to check each angle at a time, then after that you just watch whatever you want
INSOMNIA IS IMPOSSIBLE WHERE THE FUCK IS EVERYBODY
>>555988158Hunting cultists. You will PVP out the ass at fortress/arena building on customs
>PvE>Fence mission before giving codes to terminal>PMCs literally do not spawn, spawn in single instances in PoIs and die to scavs at the start of the game or afk next to scavs that don't agro on them so I shoot all of them and fail the missionhas to be deliberate with the frequency to which this happens when I get kill ___ missions
>>555990880if you queue with people more PMCs spawn so if youre not terrified of making the game have players in it you can try that
>decide to make a real kit this time>put on armor and get a sidearm with nades>spawn in across the park at the shop>get killed in under 10 seconds of raid time despite not moving at allI actually think this map has the worst spawns out of all of them
NL45 with 45 round mag is stupid fun.
The game sucks and I almost wish that I regret the time I put into it.
I have more fun organizing stash in Tarkov than playing modern videogames
>guy almost killed me with m855a1 ppsh ammo but it left 1hp on my headthe dropoff in this game is ridiculous I was only like 30m away laying down
>kill pmc>scav horde arrives>finally get me>it was a level 5 that claimed me in the endhappy for you bro enjoy the loot and high from the kill
I can kill 23 scavs inside IC mall with Ash-12, loot ultramed, run to power and back, and swipe the saferoom keycard before first PMC gets the courage to come further inside and kill me while I'm opening Kiba door. What an embarrassing frightened nigger, enjoy absolutely nothing.
>>555997014That's why I hate interchange, it's such a fucked up and rattable map
>>555993557it sucks and yet it's still miles ahead any other extraction shootersad innit
https://streamable.com/73j0ctI wonder what that guy thought of me after this
Punisher part 1 is super annoying. Keep spawning across the map from any scav spawns and bumping into pmc teams clearing the map.
>doing shitty bolt action rifle quest on Factory>run into 2 other bolt action players on stairs>someone kept flashing usthis was so funny and retarded
>it's another wait 30 minutes but the other guy waited 35 in a random building episodeI am so close to buying radar so I can play the game normally

>>556002501scavs dont even shoot back I could melee scavs to death and complete the game probably
is this rare? I just found one in labs. never seen them before.
>>556003003Very rare but not worth that much. You need them to craft a ledx but you can't flea them and you need the book from labs which is also fir only and fucking STUPID rare.
>>556003087so itll just sit in my hideout forever, gotcha at least i found something cool
>>556003225cultists are always grateful for sacrifices
>play on europe servers again cuz lower ping>immediately killed by some sub 300h unheard Xong XinaBack to NA I go.
>need last kill for bolt action>nobody fucking moves except tagilla in my directionoh come on
>>556012494I don't bump into too many cheaters with Europe North, East, and Russia West
>>556014351Less cheaters on East and Russia? After China I believe Russians are the most likely to hack.
>>556014553Can't really compare as I never play on Western or Southern European servers, but I've heard people complaining about them.
>meeting someone in the back rooms of the streets mallalways hilarious when two rats collide in the most unlikely of places
Task from Skier: kill 20 babies
>>555982026It's high risk, high reward for a solo player. I like it.I especially like that it feels like a hidden stage within Tarkov that you can't find just from looking at the map. Pretty cool if you can get to it without looking everything up online.
>ready to prestige since last week>still want to finish the main quest>needed to find the stupid MCC box>spend a few days looking for it>finally find it>need to wait 72 hours to build solar power>afterwards need to wait almost 7 hours to craft a keycard to even enter TerminalI'm so tired of artificial timegates.
>>555999053HOLY SHITTERS
i think the pve ai is cheating too much when i play on local serversi got lazered by some pmc ai standing around the go kart area of interchange with a kriss vector because it saw a pixel of me running around the train tracks area
>>556016876Go get em, hero.
>>555931554You can see peoples stats, can watch them watch you or others through walls, watch them bolt it straight to some loose gpu/ledx, wiggling. Most people try to ignore others and just loot, do objectives, kill bosses and ignore players. Just got frustrated with the game, saw it as a waste of time and thought it would be a blessing if I had gotten banned also I like cheating anyway, it gets me off. You quickly find that when you're cheating, there is absolutely no purpose to playing the game. I was still dying quite a bit as well just because the sound-whoring in this game is so bad that you don't even need esp to track someone perfectly through a wall.
>>556025041>also I like cheating anyway, it gets me offI don't understand that at all. I've never cheated at anything since typing "black sheep wall" into warcraft 2 when I was like 7 years old. I don't lie, I don't cheat, and I don't steal. I just don't understand why anyone would cheat at something so inconsequential as a video game instead of just... getting good.
>>556025684he's brown
>>556025684The Honest Man literally cannot comprehend the hollowness of the soul within the Cheater Fag
>>556025041was there a toggle to see if they were on 4 out of 5 kills for Psycho Sniper? because I've been suspiciously killed at 4/5 EVERY TIME for the last two weeks
>>556025041I hope you get mangled in a car crash
What are the hotspots in Interchange? I only know about not staying outside if you don't want to get your head blown off.>>556027003
>>556031740Didn't mean to reply to that post there.
>>556031740ultra medical and tagilla's hideout
>>556025684it really is impossible to understand, at least for someone with critical thinking skills.A normal person would simply stop playing a game they didn't enjoy.It's just so unbelievably petty. It's like not liking candy floss anymore, and then instead of simply not buying it, hanging around the store and stealing it from kids who walk by.
My friend just entirely stopped playing after we got kappa and savior ending, and now I'm left alone. He of course had ambitious plans about prestiging afterwards and stuff, but during the last week he hasn't played a single raid in tarkov.Solely pvping and hitting hotspots solo isn't that fun, so I'm leaning towards prestiging, despite the rewards being rather worthless. I know I will despise playing with shit strength and stamina, but at least I would have something to aim for again. Currently I've been working on Lightkeeper questline, and I'm near the end, but the rewards aren't great and it gives no achievement, so might as well not finish it. While working on it, I've been thinking more and more about what's next after I finish it. If it prestiging is the only choice, why not do it before finishing it?However, my stash value is over 400mil, and I have too many Altyns, t6 plate rig kits, ammo, and guns hoarded and not using them would be too much of a waste, so I guess I have to start spamming Labs.I feel quite cornered now, any suggestions on what to do?
>>556033073Prestiging is the only option, unfortunately this game unironically does not work without forced wipes, but this community is not yet ready for this conversation.
>>556034257Never saw any opposition to that, but regardless there's not much point to any such conversation anymore anyways. Game's dying and will never have as many players as it did in November/December ever again. BSG thinks that people want scav life and another pve map lol
>>556034257It barely even matters anymore. Sweats are geared up within the week regardless. It's 100% player perception now.
>>556033073What lvl are you now?
>>556037884Nearly 58, most of the xp coming from arena dailies
>>555962407i've been saying that bsg don't play the game for yearsgood call
>>556017040This is what I hate about Tarkov's quest system. It's like they're designed around needing to refer to a wiki.
>>556041490Yeah I don't want big quest markers everywhere but it needs more than the vague shit the tasks give you to work with
>>556041490Some tasks should be rewritten. The descriptions for some tasks seem fine without going overboard. In this one, for example, I wouldn't expect Prapor to know exactly where in the post office the letter is, but it's still a good enough lead to narrow it down to a building.This task doesn't have it, but it also helps when you have a subtask that gets checked when you're in the right area.
>>556043953Then you get tasks like this that could take quite a long time to get done without more information. Of course people will get frustrated and look it up online.
>>556044282>Subtask:(Optional) Find the place where the messenger hid the cargoAlright, not the best example since it would have given you a hint when you're close to the spot.
>>556044282>just trial and error all the keys for the dorms and resort tasksThe game is impossible without looking up information on the wiki.
Peacekeeping mission on streets kicking my ass kek, keep running into people who just beam straight through my thorax
prestiging would be admitting youre a mentally ill loser not me sorry
i fucking hate arena so fucking much. SMGs are so fucking ridiculously good and there are so many fucking hackers its just fucking luck whether or not i do well in any given game. my skill is totally irrelevant because some dude with a HEHE I BOUNCE EVERYTHING mask on is going to come around the corner prefiring my exact angle with 18907234987 RPM SMGs that all have the same pen and damage as my assault rifle. its just such a fucking clusterfuck. even though i know that peekers advantage is a thing, its not actually because everyone has ESP.
>>556049690I dont play arena but makes sense that SMGs are basically the best. All the maps are perfectly within the SMG's engagement range, they're basically built for that shit. In EFT they're balanced by the fact that a guy with an AR or DMR can totally outgun you at 100m+, but that situation just doesn't exist in arena.
>>556049690I suck donkey shit and I can still do good in arena. In Tarkov my kd is only 0.13 in tarkov. In 933 raids I have killed 126 PMCs in my entire Tarkov career. In Arena you just need to listen real good, prefire, and hip fire. You can at the very least get top 1-3 for your team and it's better than nothing. My main class is enforcer with sometimes scout because you are correct SMGs are OP for headshot fishing.
>>556050181its actually ridiculous how much better scout is than every other class when you think about it. not only do they get t5 plates and not only do they get the very best ammo for all SMGs but ARs are restricted to worse rounds and the class that can use them gets t4 plates. its just fucking stupid game design and nikita needs to DIE for this transgression REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>556050429>nikita needs to DIETL note: DIE is difficult to translate from autistic screeching into english. its best english language parallel is absent from our language
no helmet as well
>>556054295bro like maybe ONE of those shots was actually on target
>>556054381TRVKE
>>556054295its okay that little faggot bled out immediately after anyway
>>556054295Shots 1-5: Clearly missed.
these lighthouse quests are going to massacre my kd rate
>>556060754The people I'm running into are prestige 5 trying to finish THEIR 5th or 6th run of lighthouse quests. Those weirdos probably know the map perfectly.
3 raids of no cultists, can't wait for more of this. At least I'm getting insomnia and capturing outpost kills.
>>556062000How is that different to just playing for 5 or 6 wipes?
>>556062079Try Woods, I had better luck there and didn't have to deal with as many players.
>>556062091thousands of hours of playing the worst maps in the game vs people who avoid dogshit maps
>>556062091Nta but pretty sure that historically, most players quit either when or before they ever get to lighthouse. 5th prestigers are absolute degens, and so is anybody past 3rd prestige really
It keeps spawning me on the beach nearest lighthouse
reserve is spooky
>>556063485I also believe most normal people avoid the map so you get lighthouse questers, rogue farmers, and poopsocks. Normal looters don't go there as the loot isn't worth the squeeze. It's an environment for aids.
Lighthouse isn't even that bad...
>>556065148It has been voted the worst map in the game. If it didn't have a reason to be there no one would run it.
The 5.56 MDR is bad right?
>>556067873wrong
>>556067873I got killer7 with it (at least a bunch of kills until I ran out of ammo) so I declare it a good weapon.
>>556068704The MDR might be nice... but nothing beats the power of friendship! I've always thought (You) were the best weapon in the game.
>>556069247It turns out the real best weapon was the friends we made along the way...
>>556062079Like 8 raids of no cultists, one death to a cheater.
>>556068496>>556068704What about the Mk16?
>>556071035Same firerate therefore same effectiveness, but has worse ergo.
>>556071182Gotcha. What about the AK-105?
>>556065148Yes it is. It's the worst map in the game by a mile and is fundamentally flawed.>>556067873It's quite good, especially with the new 20 inch barrel and handguards. You even get an in built bipod. Just make sure you're running decent ammo. You can't make up for shitty ammo with high rof while using it
>>5560713205.45 AKs suck and I think the short AK-100s fire even slower so it's probably bottom of the barrel shit tier.
>>556071501Is the 102 better?
>>556071596Probably not.
>>556071501I find them comfy to use but yeah they're fucking garbage. You have to spend a huge amount of rubble to get them above 50 ergo with a can and the can options all fucking suck... except the waffle, which costs like 60-100k reliably. It's a bummer because I just want to run 7N40 out of a decent gun but the NL545 is the only actual fully viable option for the cartridge.
>finish raid>find out one of the hail mary nades I threw at a guy killed himGoddammit.
I hate this game.
>>556073238Hardcore, realistic, bug free 1.0 release, please be of understandings and buy cor3.
>>556073238I can't believe they still haven't fixed these things. I took one point blank in the kneecaps and took 0 damage right after they were first added.
i hate test drive part 2
what the hell am i doing wrong bros... my adrenaline didnt screencap his loadout but he had a fuckin blue vest and i had 545 bp
>>556082838I started camping green flare on gz and it went a little more smoothly
>>556083150>blue vestIf you mean the kiarasa, it can take class 5 and 6 plates
>>556083150The press vest or the UNTAR vest? BP is mid 40s pen so he had level 5/6 plates for sure.
>>556083168didnt wanna rat but oh well

FUCK PSYCHO SNIPER
>>556085460Queue factory and camp from rafters with an axmc or snipe on woods for a few hours.
Lost 0.5 KD queuing lighthouse today. No other map is that bad. Even fucking labs is better than that abortion of a map.
To the duo that didn't push me for 22 minutes on customs and then missed all of their shots when I left to extract, fuck you for wasting my time.
I'm so fucking tired of dying to squadniggers.

when a team is slowly cornering you from two-three different angles the move is to push one of them for a kill and hope the confusion means the guys in the other directions either kill their buddy or don't fire when you push?
>>556110125you definitely need to push and not hide versus teams after they figure out where you areanything else is situational based on cover and stuff
>>556110125when a team is cornering you from two-three different angles, the response is to corner them back from six-seven different angles
I got attacked by an insanely strange player. It sounded like he was making scav voicelines and he shot at me from a weird area with no view.
>>556114464Could he have been using a scav voice board? He was a USEC player and moving and acting like a scav and making scav noises so I let my guard down and rushed him. He two shotted my head afterwards.

>>556118282Do you think any cheaters Merced you? I notice some sus players never take gear (they don't have to because they clear the entire map and leave with stuff more valuable than your stuff.)
>>556118347Not really possible to tell. I either day immediately off spawn or die to someone sitting in a random building when I get bored of never seeing anyone and reposition. I will say it's suspicious nobody really ever walks into my sniper spots like I do to other campers but other than that havent seen anything sus
>>556085538I know. I'll get a couple on factory. hit woods for 2..then I've been killed by cheaters like clockwork, or I whiffed the two opportunities I had. I've been at it for almost two weeks. I've killed so many people. I just need to vent. It seems things work out after venting here. >Can any cheater confirm if you can see psycho sniper progression?
>>556115267how important the CPU in tarkov, theoretically?Can you completely get rid of FPS drops with latest Ryzen or its unavoidable?
>>556122959With a good CPU your FPS will be Ryzen
https://streamable.com/4o2xg1Finally fucking done with SBIH on streets. That took like 10 hours lmao.This poor guy walked into my same sniper spot and got killed
>>556123073You think so?I have 12700-5080 and I play at 4k
>>556123637oh, 4k? I doubt you'll see much improvement their optimization is just bad. If you were on 1440p you could probably get some decent FPS but people in this very thread complained a couple days ago about fps dropping no matter what. I feel like their servers itself limit FPS somehow
>>556123723surely game favors fast CPUs and memory but I wonder how really it improves lets say scoping in the middle of customs.
>>556122959Pretty important. There's a lot of NPCs that wander around hogging resources. If you have ever had your game freeze while getting fired at or opening fire it's most likely gonna disappear with a CPU upgrade. Tarkov is just very demanding overall, if you're playing large maps like Streets you'll also need plenty of RAM. In short, you'll need a pretty beefy PC and even then you'll lose plenty of frames scoping in with any LPVO.
>update arena and remove the only maps good for doing dailis with last herobrilliant idea

>this from 6 hourswhat am I even supposed to use this for?
Resident Evil 9 RSh-12 variant when?I think it's only fair, since there's no doubt in my mind that the Capcom devs used Tarkov to model and animate their "Requiem" revolver, since tarkov is the only game that uses an actual scanned RSh-12 model.
>>556133808I don't think that's how game development works.
>>556133975>I don't think that's how game development works.I'm just saying, if you're modeling your own version of the RSh-12, do you look at the 2 or 3 images that exist from it online, or do you boot up tarkov and look at the 3D model that was made from the actual scanned firearm?And okay, there's no actual confirmation that the RSh-12 was actually scanned, but every other weapon in the game was, and Nikita even got his hands on a A 545 to scan, so I'm gonna assume that the RSh-12 is also scanned.
>>556134287Well PAYDAY 2 had an RSh12 and I highly doubt they scanned a real one. Also, the gun in RE is clearly not a 1:1 copy, it's clearly stylized so they probably just used online sources as reference for it.
damn I just got the flare that makes all bosses friendly, what's a good use for it?
>>556135243If you suck at fighting bosses and need to kill one of them for a quest.
>>556134846Payday 2 was notorious for having bad gun models based on airsoft guns, I doubt Capcom wants to follow their example.Resident Evil, specially the remakes, seem to try to make their gun models as realistic as possible, but with some diffrent style choices, like Leon's Vp-70 in RE2R is nearlt identical to the real thing, but the safety is square instead of round.I think their RSh-12 is a mix of the inspiration from the model on Tarkov, specially the mechanical part, with some details from the MTS-569 civilian revolver carbine.
oh, you still get twitch drops after prestiging
>>556135243 (Me)wait, I just realized I can use this for the main story coop extract task
>>556135560What about stuff from promocodes?
>>556135560Did you not use them and got them back or did you use them the first time and they are getting sent to you again on Prestige?
>>556136415I opened all of them previously and got them again>>556136320some of them I did get e.g., elvisvista and two ornaments, whiskey, pineapple juicenothing "good" though, like the holodilnick I could've used
>didnt restart client>slideshow of tagilla pulling out the hammerdamn thats frustrating
i literally cannot plant ref's stupid posterguess thats what i get for being a late timmy
>>556137437you dont have to go in the central bunk area, the ones on the left coming from crackhouse also work for this
>>556137437>Not getting this done the very first raid
>>556132482>>556132836
>>556133808>there was some dumbfuck in here after the announcement saying this wasn't an rsh-12. Really baffles the mind why some people act the way they do
>they stealth nerfed HK G28 cultist circle reeeno they didn't
>>555999053I think you're meant to account for bullet drop at that range, friend.
>>556133263All three of them have proruberances. All are worthless. Cultists are probably pretty gay -- that makes sense, right? What do they do when they're not praising satan or whatever they actually do? Butt stuff, obviously... gay butt stuff! It follows to logic that the cultists want you to put all of these things up your butt. There are three objects not because you can fit all three of them up your butt at once but so you can invite at least two (male) friends to do gay cultist butt stuff with. Mystery solved!
>>556033073I don't know, what are you hoping to gain from further playing Escape From Tarkov? Smoking meth would be a more edifying use of your time than another thousand hours of shooting people in the face for no reason at all.
>>556117728The way BSG balances arena convinces me that their inspiration comes a crack pipe.
Wait... they literally, unironically REMOVED fucking emercom???? That was the only map I played
>>556131613Do your checkpoint dailies I inifsh them all in 1-2 matches
Really wish they'd put the fucking ks23 back on enforcer.
20+ Shoreline raids, people have no idea where I am and I can run about free reign5 Interchang raids and even when I kill my surrounding spawners niggers make a straight beeline to me despite being surpressed
>arena update>they didn't add the new gun parts
>>556141518Interesting proposition, but I think I'll pass. I'm not unheard enough for this
Finally, the 72 hours long timegate for Solar Power is over, now I can enjoy another 6 hours long timegate for the main quest!
>>556140052I didn’t start playing this wipe until last week loleveryone is already level 50 and im level 7
lol i got a run through for this got a close spawn to black and found itit's really rare, right?i have hte micro board too
>>556154591wow i wasted a labs card i didnt even try to put it in my secure container, figured it wasn't possible but wiki says otherwiseshit
Any tips for what to bring to Terminal? I haven't watched any gameplay aside from a few minutes of the earliest footage of people playing it to avoid spoilers, I know you don't start with your normal kit, does it even make sense to go in there ultra kitted?
Three Woods quests done and I got out with a tank battery holy hell.
I'm so fucking tired of sbih on customs. The entire map is just cover, there is nowhere to snipe that people actually go.
>>556160707I'd try setting up on the hill behind new gassy or the second floor of warehouse 4. Maybe even the hill by scav checkpoint
>>556160707There's 3 trillion angles on customs how are you having trouble finding one
>>556160707>warehouse 4 (power switch building)>Ref wifi camera quest building>buildings next to the pocket watch truck>climbing the guard tower at the bridge on big red sideThere are plenty of places to snipe from on Customs, anon.
>>556161482My favorite spot on the bridge is in the busses lmao
>>556161260>>556161482Everyone runs from cover to cover even if I do manage to spot them, how the fuck am I supposed to hit someone spazzing the fuck out and sprinting at all times the few times they are exposed?
>>556162616You miss 100% of the shots you don't take anon
>>556162702And the shots I do take piss whoever it is off enough to run straight to my spot to kill me.
>>556162616You just have to click when it feels right in the soul.
>>556162978I'm going to put a 1x and run at people until I get them done, this fucking sucks.
>>556163036This is not the way, anon.
>>556163252No one ever fucking loots anymore, when would I ever catch someone not moving at mach 5 on customs? The only time I enjoy sniping is on woods where I can actually catch people standing still to loot shturman or taking shots at someone else.
>>556163252This shit is why I always spin around like an asshole when unlocking doors.
im mad that they removed emercom. it was the only bearable LH map for me
>>556162740Occupational hazard
https://youtu.be/zr5CCXjnZ8k?list=PLHWoCotuxs61cuC0OQShmUoR0mP_8YXFx&t=77Haven't played this game in 2 years since I started waging but I heard this and it hit me hard
>>556140576Funny tht the item description in the demo videos is.>"A DSO-issued, large assault revolver that uses 12.7x55m rounds. Offering high-powered piercing capabilities, it's a weapon you can rely on."Which means it even uses the russian ammo, it's not a .500 magnum revolver that kinda looks like the RSh-12 or anything.But I do think it being described as DSO issues is kinda stupid, why is the american Division of Security Operations buying russian revolvers for their agents?
>>556167103I guess you could argue that they did lots of testing about current world weapons they can issue to operatives that pack enough of a punch to take down all the weird small arms resistant monsters that they may run into. Isn't there a bit in one of the trailers where he shoots something with it that didn't go down to someone else shooting it with a smaller caliber?
Now that I've gotten my head blown off by it, I think that buying BTR cover fire may be kind of a nigger move...
>>556167801I always buy it, when I'm exiting the BTR I will also pay the driver to drive somewhere else and purchase another cover fire before leaving
>>556167928Sinister ahh diddyblvt
>>556167496he takes down the hag stalker with it, but I don't think Grace even had her little gun to shoot at it at that point.
picked the game up and i'm getting absolutely raped ever raid by people better geared and skilled than i am. any tips on gitting gud?
>>556169197>takes four shotsNo wonder they gave him one of the biggest handguns they could get.
>>556171558Shit man the later you join any game the harder it's gonna beJust practice in ground zero as much as you can until level 20 so there's a chance it's other new playersAlso there's lots to research that can help like how many of a given round it takes to get through a certain plate tier
>>556171558Take it slow, avoid open spaces, DON'T fucking sprint everywhere, walk. Only sprint if you're in the open or getting shot at. If you're in cover stop for a moment and listen for audio cues. Avoid head on gunfights if you don't have access good ammo, try to ambush players and blast their legs with high flesh damage ammoTruth it you'll still be getting railed for the next 1000+ hours, but those things should swing things ever so slightly more in your favor.
>>556166791Whole trailer is kino, but this part did it for me.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dd3MSNfRZ68&t=179s
>>556171558Buy the PvE expansion and play that. Because obviously you're here for the high fidelity firearms and Nikita Buyanov multimedia art experience, and not the pointless ratfuck grind.
>>556173596if i wanted a pve game i'd go play arc raiders
>>556174194You don't need to use the aim point anymore
>>556174468Was mostly for the rare weapon repair upgrade thing.
WHY THE FUCK ARE MY FULLY REPAIRED GUNS JAMMINGEVERYSINGLERAID
>>556181340What's the durability at overall? Malfunction chance starts at 93%.
>>556181452this particular gun was at exactly 93%what are the chances to jam at 93?
>>556181548I doubt anyone but BSG themselves know.
Supply Plans/Kind of Sabotage, should I give the doc to Therapist or Skier?
>>556183868Whoever gives more XP, it doesn't matter.
>>556140832You can see me adjusting the zero in advance but the bullet drop is fucked for the scope/ammo/gun apparently. I'm learning how to use the adjusted mills with ballistics calculator now though.For the dvl + march tactical at 50m zero you aim at the 6.1 mill dot for 450m that's one I've memorized for example
>>556183868I usually give it to skier since he gives better rewards and because it's much easier to get therapist rep
>>556143326I have LH weekly and no money to reroll
Now I can play the game. Tarkov shooter 8 and Psycho Sniper are next. I'm going to be the woods demon I was born to be
if i complete any quests that give like -0.05 for prapor will i get downgraded back to lvl 1 prapor or will it stay at lvl 2 prapor but i just have to make up for the rep loss
>>556171558play more scav and learn maps.
>>556193365Downgrade
>>556193072>Now I can play the game.It's just constantly not this feeling. I've pretty much exhausted every other quest other than pvp with this gun quests.
>>556117728was this patch chosen by throwing darts at the wall?The CQCM mask is locked to enforcer and scout, except all the skinned variants can be worn on whatever, and isn't that just a shadow buff to scout? Like they still have level 5 and now they (and enforcer) can exclusively bounce faceshots.
>>556171558youre gonna need good ammo, go to streets look up the ammo run for that map it's like terragroup armory and the kaban place. Maybe reserve too for the PBPS packs and BT ammo you can find.
>>556197663They're all level 3 now. It's not really a big deal. Before literally every scout ran the cqc though
>>556198961I know but I've had so many of them bounce my faceshots post nerf anyways. I've even been on the receiving end quite a bit too. Also removing base was stupid because that was actually fun
>spot a guy sniping in the GZ upstairs offices>kinda looks like he saw me too>duck behind cover>go semi auto>shoulder swap>smooth lean out>1tap his asshttps://streamable.com/4ox23cFucking love the little things like that kek, can't really be careful like that in other games. And yes, he had a boyfriend camping his corpse 20mins later and yes, I fucking killed him too. It was some tiny lvl12 timmy with 9 hours that he was no doubt carrying. Poor fucking timmy just wanted to do his early tasks I'm sure but gigachud just HAD to camp all raid to get some sbih kills. They did not rekit :)
>>556193072i finally got TS8 done while hyperfocusing Psycho Sniper for two weeks and this I guess this is my hell quest this wipe. I should've suspected something was up when EVERY quest was smooth sailing until these two. >don't use m80 on woods. Unless you're beaming their ear>picrel most recent raid>thought I whiffing every shot on four different people
>>556200548I plan on using 338 lapua. m80 does indeed suck balls even if you penetrate i've been randomly only taking half damage and living
>>556200826yea, I got 10m...I'm gonna make the jump up from .308. Thanks
Found a RR, red keycard and btc in streets marked, + few guns, makes up for chek15 having absolutely ZERO items.
WTF THEY WIPED MY MARKSMEN PRESETSTHAT SHIT TOOK ME HOURS
WTF IS 50 BMG 12g a scav ate all my shots
I only need 1 right?
You know what's based about arena is there's rarely any crying or backseating on comms. Nice casual FPS fun
>>556211687you haven't had my crybaby teams then of hormonal teenagers yelling slurs at each other and screaming like monkey
>>556212183I think I might pre-emptively prevent it by making calm callouts.
>>556200548For me it's BCP FMJ. Makes the holdovers a lot less annoying
FUCK Lighthouse
>>556213354Home stole your gacs that's cold
>>556213354Just extract camp the red rebel area for pistolings farming chalet
>>556214043Nta but you get like one bite for every 90+ you wait if you actually manage to get there
>>556214110Idk I did that one time and got two bites in a single raid within a minute.When I killed the first one a second one snuck up to the extract and got out
>>556214110>>556214309Also when I was doing SBIH just today I saw two people in resort looting it, didnt get a good shot on them but you can watch both the resort + chalet from their respective mountain looking inside. I was praying for a kill on a safe opener but I was too slow or he didnt go for itIf you rush spawns and sprint to the extract after i bet it goes fast
I'm so tired of trying and failing sbih. Is there anything to break up the monotony of this boring garbage while still trying to get progress?
>>556214739carry a boltie while carrying a real gun and doing other quests/stuff as main objectiveor you can just play with something like mxlr and rush people
>>556214739Not really, but you can bring an mxlr and just switch to it if you find an easy kill you got the drop on someone
KEK got to 1/3 for tarkov shooter 8 and partisan rolls up on me in my rathole and cucks me
fyi the caiman with the applique attached is unironically an excellent helmetmaybe not so much now that literally everyone is running the highest tier of ammo but for the first 8 weeks or 12 of 1.0 it's reflected so many bullets I couldn't even count. I always expect a concusion rather than death with this bad boy.Give it a try tell me what you think
>>556216959I think the caiman is pretty good but I am loyal to the flux alpine, it's bounced more rounds than it should
is it normal to just lose 4/5 labs runs when you actually play the map and don't afk
>>556217348if you rush the side of the map with black and red, then yesif you stay on the other side and loot res unit, green, and weapon testing you can survive much more
>>556217348probably yeah, it's either cheaters, squads, or tryhards or a combo of all 3. Nobody normal wants to play that shit but are forced to for the gpsa and master chief console
>>556218023yeah ive been playing it exlcusivly (Solo player) for the past couple weeks and ive bled money mostlyi just wanted it to be profitablei'm not a terrible player but I guess i'm not comparable to the people that 'main' this map more times than not
>>556218189if you want to make profit i think you cant expect to fill up a loot bag you gotta go in with a five seven and sprint to whatever's closest to you and shove the valuables up your empty asshole
>>556218378so just empty the secure container out take literally nothing but a couple mags and a five seven then rush wahtever is close, fill up the container? (maybe a docs case + injector)
>>556218378This is the cowards way to play labs.
>>556218492yeah that's what I'd do. Injector/sicc/docs case optional depending on what you find more. Injector I bring every raid cause not only can you fill it up with loot it's really efficient medicine slots
>>556218636running around is the opposite of cowardly, it's just efficiency
Anyone figure out what the freeze-> disconnect cause is? Deleting my logs didnt work, guess ill try cache next
You must run until you have 50 STR and Endurance then you can slow down

>>556222360not a single person crab walks in LH, literally never seen it
>>556222430I just did in fort for entire game nigger
>>556222360>>556222430>>556222529Play checkpoint like a real man none of that gay shit in Checkpoint just bros being bros and headshot city
>>556222643I literally can't find a single game on Russian servers lol, nobody plays this fucking dodoo caca
>>556222529>I will play a certain way and complain that I play that wayokay I guess
>>556223685yes thats the joke you dumb animal
>>555946539arena just needs to be closed down and forgotten, its never going to work.It's terrible
>>556224613It's a free thicc case dispenser so no leave my thicc cases alone
>>556224739how is it free you cretin?
>>556224851Shut your mouth worm food
>>556225034how is this free you tree-climbing banana-eating NIGGER?
>>556225239Because I bought EOD and got it for free>>556224613>I dont like something so they should stop ithmmm no
>>556225519>bought>Got it for free
>>556225614>>556225239>>556224851Quit acting like a bitch
>>556225720nothing can stop me from hating on arena and so-called people who makes excuses for its existence
>>556221771>>556221353please dont make me look this up in normiesphere...go on?>I'll tell good joke in exchange
>>556226154That won't do anything for disconnects, it's to prevent crashing - mostly when loading into or out of raids. I've seen pestily deal with what you've described and that's some kind of connection thing
>DLSS improves the response time(ms) despite my GPU being able to render at nativeI just don't get it
>>556228234Upscaling tech just works faster than rendering all of those extra pixels from scratch
im not supposed to shoot those guys at the guard towers in shoreline right?i killed one because i thought it was a sniper scav but i was one shot instantly by a "machine gun" according to my injury screen
>>556228510also I notice the so-called "Reflext boost!" shit actually introduces annoying stutters and does not improve ms
>>556222254>just one more flashlight on my helmetMade me chuckle.
Surely nobody is mean enough to camp the Terminal entrance...
>>556235827Aw yeah.

>>556245443>Vsync on in the game(I have gsync)
>>556245630my framerate with vsync enabled in the game and not in the control panel like suggested is a straight line.When I enable it in control panel its irratic but there is no tearing in both cases
What's your favourite plate carrier right now?
>>556251401Either of the tac keks
>>556251401bagarly
>>556252540>>556252615do you guys care for the base stats, protection areas and extra protection when choosing??
>>556251401I usually only wear body armor with a blackrock but when I run a plate carrier for red rebel maps I've been using the 6b45s. They have level 3 soft armor with neck protection. The only downside is that they're only 16 slot
The PScav I shoot at just near exfilPoopsocking faggot
>>556253648mostly cared about weightbefore having elite strength bagarlys are borderline unusable, but after that no problemthey're easy to craft and have many slots, so I like them
>>556253648I like being light and bagless, so the unarmored PCs are fine with me.
>damage done to enemy, 328yeah i'm going back to counter strikeworst gunplay of all time
>>556257964>playing counter shite 2Yeah nah Tarkov unironically mogs CS2, I would agree if we could still go back to CSGO.
>>556258220Mazed rat
>>556258220>CSGO>CS2It's the same game...only thing different is the UI and better models.
>>556259475>same gameOk retard
>>556260332They are, but feel free to tell me how it's a different game and not just a new coat of paint and title change.
>>556260563Already shit like the dogshit subtick system that's objectively worse than 128 tick, but I'm not gonna bother arguing with a braindead nigger who can't tell CS2 plays like fucking shit compared to CSGO.
>MFW Thread gets sidetracked by CS faggots in year of our lord Nigkita 2026
wait, what? why are there two crafts?
>>556264454They forgot to remove the antiquated one
>>556265189I'm sure they had some reason to leave the old crafts but for the life of me I can't think of what it may be.
>>556266250For lower level station?
>>556268190Nah, both of them unlock at level 2 workbench.
>>556241739I'm surprised they didn't add them with 1.0. They added the RPD modernization kit, they may has well have given the PKP/M a little upgrade as well

I'm running the tkpd because it only costs 70-90k depending on prokill prices and it's disgusting. It has enough flesh damage to neck someone through class 3 soft armor and one shot them.

WHY THE FUCK WAS MY AK-104 NOT SHOOTING??? I COULD'VE AT LEAST FOUGHT BACK AT SOME FAGGOT IN A WINDOW IF LEFT CLICK DID ANYTHINGWHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK
>>556298229Did you remember to put a mag in your gun?
IT WASN'T JAMMED AND MY SIDEARM AND OTHER LOOTED GUN WORKEDI LOADED MY MAG WITH HIGHER PEN RED AMMO (NOT .366) THAT I FOUND BUT THE CHAMBERED ROUND STILL SHOULD'VE WORKED???FUCK THIS RETARDED NEW TRIANGLE CAPTCHA
I love getting killed by this shit every fucking lighthouse raid.
>anon can't figure out how to load his gun>anon can't figure out the captchaWhat the fuck do you mean red ammo?
>>556298716Cartridges with a red band around them you dense fucking NIGGER. IT WAS 7.62x39mm PP gzh AND MY GUN HAD A ROUND OF T-45M1 IN THE CHAMBER
>>556298716Use your brain he means ammo that is incompatible with his gun. You're an adult. Use your reasoning skills when you come across language you do not understand.
>>556299112So did you have a mag actually loaded? I've died doing that before. Was it low durability and jammed? There's multiple reasons that your gun just wouldn't shoot.>>556299326>smug faggot that thinks he's smart somehow didn't read the guy's previous post despite having 90 seconds to do soI was also correct in assuming that this guy meant some round with red on it rather than incompatible ammo. Get it the fuck together you scum sucking cunt.
>>556299842You going to cry about it lil bitch nigga? Wah wah wah
>>556300275love it when you make me cum
>>556299842It was at full durability and I inspected it while I was laying in cover full of bullet holes. Again, there was a round in the chamber so it should've at least shot THAT if it didn't have a mag.
>>556301439No idea then man, maybe some fucked bug or your mouse acting up.
Immediately impacts the back of Power Station on Interchang with zero noise made for 10 minutes yeah right you filthy cheating chink
>killed a PMC who was after somebody with 3:40 left on the clock>shot by somebody while closing the door I thought the other guy ran down>fellow player scavWell, I did join that raid specifically to ruin someones day after having mine necroskullfucked the moment I opened Tarkov, I just didn't think it would go down like this.
>>556305292Nikita is laughing at you playing with chinese cheaters for 2500 hours
>>556305909
Every single person that has killed me today is a prestige 4-6 weirdo with 12+ KDReally making me reconsider playing honestly these ''people'' are not normal people
I'M A REAL ASSAULT RIFLE
Cool I thought I killed a player or two but they were just Sanitar guards, how nice to find that out after getting head,eyes'd from nowhere by a prestigeNIGGER
>This guy is probably cheating Ill check his profile>covert movement level 3>everything else including aim drills is level 20ishEvery. Single. Time.
Man I don't fuckin wanna go do Dorms.
>>556310576Dorms is pretty empty honestly. You can go at night if you really want it to be empty as everyone is hunting cultists.
>>556310794A benefit of marked being dogshitter I guess. Just gotta pick some shit up for the early tasks I've been putting off.
>>556310576I actually like dorms. It's kinda fun. It's resort that really fucks me off
>>556310963Yeah Dorms is way better than Resort but I'm not in the mood for something that high octane. That and I'm not great at doorkicking in this game.
>finally load m855a1 for a raid>this is the first pmc I shoot atAnd people say this game isn't luck based
>>556298229some anon earlier said there was a bug with this because of repair.
Do cheats show tripwires? I have a hard time believing these sprinting niggers saw my obscured wires and jumped over them naturally.
>>556311935The top of that helmet is level 4, you had a chance at least.
>>556314726With the way jankboxes work in this game I always assumed the faceplate covered the whole front of the head
>>556315293Nope, you can doink maska users on the top of the head even with the mask. It's just a fairly small target still.
Took out a duo at the start of the match, I nearly didn't catch a glimpse of the first guy's leg as he got behind a rock. I'm here for Punisher and Anesthetic but keep running into people and dying (except this time). Shame that neither of them had a bag large enough for the first guy's G36.
In the past two days I've played 50 lighthouse raids. I have achieved 3 kills for punisher 3. Fucking dogshit cancer map.
>>556316818You need to become a dogshit, more cancerous man.
Not bad for a daily
>>556316818you are simply impatient that doesnt seem possible
>>556251401I see the tryhards usually just use body armor or bagarly
why s UN roadblock redded out on woods as my extract, that's not conditional!
Can the Shoreline cottage spawn covered in traps or did some nigger come through and trap the exits behind me? Could've sworn I heard creeping around the outside and I paced around the windows for 5 minutes while mumbling voicelines because I heard a nearby explosion and saw an armoured body past the gate. I tripped one on the gate I entered through but the fuse was too long. Does Partisan place them down in certain fixed spots with random grenades?
>finish bitcoin farm 3>crashes
https://streamable.com/ainf1bthis was my ts8 kill and I fucked it up, my first 2 kills happened immediately then I get nervous about the final one and play 10x worse and slower I'm a COWARD>>556325257Almost certainly partisan lol his ai targets low karma players and also people who are in a enclosed/trappable area with 1 exit
>>556325806Good to know I'm just a retard and I could've taken that dude's gear without fear. Whatever, butterfly effect, maybe I would've died and lost all of my shit if I hadn't freaked out for 5 minutes.
>>556326181yeah if you hear someone circling around you while inside an enclosed area and especially with a voiceline it's almost certainly partisan
how do i fuck my karma to get partisan to spawn on me? i've done like 1000 raids and seen him twice
>>556326518leave raids and sit in a bushi have like 50 leaves
>build the ak for gunsmith 2>can't turn it in for some reason>sitting there staring at the stats comparing it to the one in the quest guide>turns out I built out a 74UB and not a 74UTune in next time for more wacky tarkov stories :)
>>556326518sit in a bush for a few minutes youll get an audio que and from then on youll be targetted
>>556327236you can just buy them off the flea if you want that's what i did
>close range buckshot double tab and AK spray>1 hit for 34 damageAt least that got me to level 1 aim drills on my scav. Wonder if that suppressed pistol PMC made it out, he and somebody else were shooting near the extract but I was too fucked up to pursue him.
>>556325806at least you didn't die! that's been the summation of my last two weeks with psycho sniper. on my 5th and whiff, then they get lucky and I die
People spend 500,000 on M4s? What a waste of money
>>556329836I got extremely lucky he hit my arm on the second shot he totally could have got me
>>556330891Tarkov rubles presumably aren't worth anything compared to making somebody feel worse for 15 minutes.
>>556330891Yeah modding guns is a meme right now, most recoil is manageable without it. Ergo doesnt matter as much as weight for arm stamina anyways.
give me a reason to stop playing pve
>>556331498You're a literally retarded gooner faggot, you would quit pvp within the day as soon as you realized you can't be retarded.
>>556331498So big strong dickgirls can gape your tight little ass
>>556310931Last two hits was a btc and red card for me. The rng on dorms is really bad though for sure.
>>556331498so you can mentally overcome a challenge to yourself, however small of an upgrade. You cant get stronger using the starter weights, ya know. You got this. You will feel fear, doubt, and anger. But you will also feel elation, self-confidence, and get to have random things happen that cannot be programmed. It's a new situation in familiar territory. There's not much to lose, and whole lot of lessons about yourself to gain. Some of them may transfer into your real life.
>>556332302already covered
>>556329836ayy I did it! Then died to some guy while I was relocating at train tracks. Oh well, I'm happy to have completed one at least, psycho was always going to take longerhttps://streamable.com/rq91qd>>556331498Well there are better single player games out there but if you enjoy PvE there's no reason to switch to PvP since if the bots are enough for you players will probably just piss you off.
>>556332646oh fuck it doesnt count if you die after! noooooo
>>556332646>>556332814
I find it funny how arena actually loads the fuck out of GPU IN EMPTY SHOOTING RANGE compared to main tarkov.and the biggest load happens when I exit into game settings while there.What the fuck is this retard magic
>>556333394it's crazy how arena takes all my gpu and tarkov barely takes 60% of it
Scav'd into the same server where some prestigenigger killed me after I successfully marked Sanitar's table, got most of my gear back, killed some other level 40 who was trying to get out with ~4 minutes left with the rifle off a sniper scav I killed as a PMC.I nearly made back the emotional deposit I made with my PMC run after a funny encounter with a fellow PSCAV a little earlier, but this encounter put me squarely in the green (bro is...). I still do feel a little bad for every kill (I think this guy shot first, tho I did have my sights on him), but I do like how it feels whenever I'm a little mean.
What is this thing and why can't I get rid of it?
>>556335249The Epstein files implicating Trump you have to smuggle them out of Tarkov
>>556335249Was just looking at the recent changes on changes.tarkov-changes.com because I noticed they updated something the other day. They have some weirdly named items that they added then removed less than 12 hours later. Maybe it's related to that? When did you loot it?

>>556331498do you play just for the progression? can you even die on pve, maybe if you get surprised by a boss on a weird angle or something?

So much killing. When will it all stop... I had him in my sights after we engaged with grenades and repositioned, one shot right as he finally looked in my direction.. similar stats to mine. Maybe he had already killed somebody else, he had a rig in his backpack. Level 48 took me down at the highway chokepoint not long afterwards.
>this bikini lady poster is lootable>but NOOO you can't loot THAT ONE!
>>556347412Scav'd in again and reclaimed my shit, there was somebody making noise in the pier building, didn't want to push my luck. I think I heard somebody else get extract camped right as I was about to make a break for it, didn't sound like a scav gun going off in celebration.Being able to scav into the same raid is so cool; reclaiming your shit, seeing how much of it got left behind, scurrying away like a defeated nigger or taking revenge on the guy who killed you. Awesome.

12 Gauge straight to my face and didn't even lose a limb
>>556356250Thanks bro
>>556356250>>556357109I fucking died. The amount of cheating AI beelining to your exact location is ridiculous. I got 73 kills.
>>556358673I had quite a bit of variability with the amount of scavs getting to me in the armory, might have something to do with the RUAF sometimes being useless. In my successful attempt, I got absolutely swarmed by scavs in the armory, but after getting past that part, the amount of scavs was noticeably smaller compared to earlier runs. RUAF even killed the last BD's so I could just run and extract.
>>556359085Yeah I just realized I died because I probably got scammed by the game, I was past the breach charge and got aggrod by a BD faggot through a chainlink fence, the most indestructible material in all of Norvinsk. At least those glowniggers seem to have fixed numbers so it's relatively easy to keep track during gunfights, maybe except the initial fight in the armory because there are fucking 8 of them with 4 others waiting inside the keycard spawn room.

I just started playing 1.0 for the first time. Do they put you against bot PMCs for the first few raids? I went into GZ naked pistol only and killed a kitted pmc who didn't land most of his shots, flare extracted immediately. In the raids before that I barely saw any pmcs too.
>>556366538Not in PVP, maybe you just ran into an honest Timmy.
adadadad spam in arena is fucking cancerous
this is a stupid fucking loadout
>>556367654It's got SOVL.
>>556367797i just have no clue how to run a reapIR. decided i wanted to have nods for when my weapon isnt up and the reapIR for active scanning. i tested it out in hideout and it doesnt seem to make the thermal any more washed out than it already is so lets hope i can just get my dumb tasks done on fucking woods and fuck off quickly
180 hour Stimmy just did the most insane play on me absolutely fucking cheating faggot, you love to see the playerbase grow, now I know why its called InterCHANG
>>556367974actually in the real game the thermal is totally fucking useless with nods... and i got the timmyspawn and got so disoriented that i walked into the minefield and immediately died lmao. nikitaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
>>556366538No, only the cinematic tutorial thing. Orange you glad you didn't run into a level twenty doing A Shooter Born In Heaven?
>>556366538GZ has two modes, over level 21 and under level 21. not sure where 21 itself fits in. <21 can only queue into <21 GZ and same with over 21. so you ran into a bunch of timtims who were probably just terrified and hiding where they spawned.
>ratted by a guy who didnt even have nodsfix your fucking game nikita. people should have to use ufcking nods at night
>>556370840I don't think there's even a solution for it, unfortunately compniggers will always optimize the fun out of a game with postfx and nvidia filters (literal cheats).
>>556370198It's 1-20 and 21+.
>>556370840just see in the dark, scrubits even easier than real life
Hooly shit RIP my Fence reputation. I was eyeing that first guy down through the grenade launcher sight and everything about him looked just like a PMC trying to get to the extract before the scavs swarm him. No clue how the second guy didn't kill me. Made out like a fucking bandit tho.
>faggot nigger prestige 4 fucking cocksucker camping outskirts extract>he shoots me, i duck behind a tree>peek, no longer see him>ok i guess he was extracting and just tried to kill me as he left>he pops up from behind the car again and kills mei fucking hate this shit so fucking much.
im not sure ive survived a single raid today.
yeah fuck these woods niggers. im done giving them literally anything worth half of a shit. im just gonna run through until i manage to get my quest items. every single raid im getting head eyesed by some prestigenigger just sitting there camping being a woodsbaby. i just want to get my tasks done.
>>556378773bro your magazine?i don't even see a 10 rounder in there
i fucking hate woods so much. what a fucking stupid fucking niggermap. i hate that i have to come here.
>>556378773>woods niggersTOTAL WIGGER DEATH
I did it.
>>556382965Got matched with an absolute monster who carried the fuck out of the raid, only for him to get instagibbed at the very end by the last Black Division squad, I wouldn't make it out without your help, Mrcanadiian, good luck next time, I hope you too can finally Escape from Tarkovâ„¢.
>>556382965>>556383657It's time to finally press the button and prestige.
>>556384389Why? You've already escaped, what reason do you have for going back?
>>556385728Because I am still far from unlocking the Hotline Miami main menu background.

>>556385728>>556387217AAAH I GUESS I ACTUALLY ESCAPED THEY DON'T LET ME BACK IN
Like how the fuck do people get constant one-taps with bolt-actions in Arena? I like to think that I have good reflexes and aim, but I still hit shit like arms a good portion of the time. Then there are these guys who literally NEVER hit anything but your thorax/head. What am I missing here?
>1v5 in arena>kill 4>die to the 5th shitting his pants crouching in the corner with a meta weapon>Announcer:"Well done! Deserved victory!"gonna strangle this nigga

>>556394768I prefer the Russian one too, but I keep forgetting to switch between games
Lighthouse is shit because it has no interesting POIs and is very narrow. Woods is the superior sniping map.
>>556395234Of course, but Lighthouse does get bonus points for, well... being able to snipe from the actual lighthouse.
>>556387430You need to plug up the weak points clearly and let your team do that other stuff
>>556378773Stop going sawmill and USEC checkpoint and you'll live 95% more times
>>556370840Not using nods have saved me easily 100 million rubles and counting it's free money
Why can't I collapse the stock on the MP5?Why can't I extend the stock on the M4A1?Why can't I fold the stock on the MPX?Why can't I fold the stock on the SA-58?
>still can't insure thermals and nvgsYea, give players even more reason to abuse third party software you vatnik retards.
>>556387430>playing CPT>stop your capture rushing for a second to kill enemies>every single point has been captured by the enemy in like 10 secondsI'm so tired, bros. I gave up on greath heights a long time ago due to this shit. The win to loss ratio should be 1:1 in CPT, but instead it has literally been like 9:1 for me. I have always the highest kdr and capture count in my team, but still we just lose. There's literally nothing more I could do.
>>556396343You are the common deminator here. I win like 70% of my CPT matches. Just keep pushing any points of capture you spawn near and stop caring about kills or deaths. Just keep spamming W.
Some buttbuddy spawned in with 3 other geared players AFK because he thought his butt buddies could save him on lighthouse before he got doinked
I wish I could be a neet and play this game all day again
>>556397815You have important things to do like eating food and clothing yourself dummy
>>556396530>have most captures in my team literally every match>anon gives me advice to just w and capture points
>>556398864Are you defending any of those points or letting the next enemy to walk up have a free capture?
>fresh to the wipe>try to fix control panels on Factory>get shit on by decked out PMCs with 1-4 prestiges every raidI perform really well in Arena and get MVPs like nothing, but in Factory I just drop like a sack of shit.
>>556399390Just lurk for a couple of minutes, those PMCs don't have much reason to stay in raid past 10 minutes, unless they're farming Scavs for Test Drive or something.
>>556397815I alternate between sleeping for 20 hours and playing this game for 12-16 and I hate it. Wish I had more stash space so that I could claim all of my insurance and finally die.
>>556399019Of course I'm doing my best to defend and capture, but as a singly fucking entity I can't be everywhere at the same time. The fuck can I do about it, if my team is full of people running around with sawn off shotguns and bolt-actions?
>>556399532What the fuck is wrong with your life, anon? Like seriously.
>>556399839I envy him
>>556395674>stop going sawmill and checkpoint>these are the exact two places i need to go for my task and literally nowhere else
Is survival really just keep moving? >go to sniper hill at spawn lighthouse>look down to other spawn>team of 5 giga chads again>I shoot at two of them and chuck a few nades>they go hogwild and chase me to the top of the mountain>I slip down to construction and sprint across the road like my life depended on it>another team spawn opposite road opens fire on me>I shoot at them as the giga chad team starts sniping at me>giga chads start murdering people I'm fighting>sprint past their dead bodies and run to gtfo the map rather than deal with a bunch of geared out teams That was pretty fun. It'd be funner if I could've secured a cheeky kill or two.
>>556400093If you take a few shots and then run every fight you will live for a very long time, but you will very likely never get to loot any of your kills.
>>556399532>>556399839>>556399956Go look at the politics board, the state of the world, and your current civilization and wonder why. We're fucking cattle man. If I'm cattle I'm distracting myself from the horrors of this planet. No children are being brought into this world by me to get raped, exploited, and farmed.
>>556400204I already have so much money and gear I save my looting for max scav rep scavbro. Right now I'm only doing lighthouse because tasks I want to complete require it then I'll probably not check out the map unless I absolutely have to.
>>556399390>be this anon>just try to wait it out>hear footsteps closing in>oh boy, here we go>a dude in fort armor just strolls into my view and starts blasting>managed to put all my shitty 9 mm pst ammo into his visor and he flops deadHoly fuck I'd so fucking pissed if I was him.
>>556400093>>556400204It just makes sense to run from any squad when solo, like I've killed plenty in my time playing and it's very satisfying to loot multiple people, but you're basically making the assumption that you're not only better than every one of them, but that they can't even finish the job with the help of each other. That could be you being on reduced health, having your position given away by making a kill, having their squadmate tell them on their comms where you are as they died, the list goes on. That's fair if the game was still young and you're poopsocking, but this late in any games lifespan everyone else is going to be just as sweaty as you are.
I kind of want to do some casual jolly cooperation

>>556399839I'm nineteen and NEET. I think I've more or less fully absorbed the Nikita Buyanov Vision by now and don't have much of value to gain from further playing Escape From Tarkov, but it'd be a real shame to let all of that stuff in my insurance expire.>>556400269You're free to think of yourself as a raped bovine if that's something you enjoy.

Glad to be vindicated and see that the people who dedicate all their free time to this game are miserable losers.

>>556403552Honestly, I think people like you are the biggest losers. People in tough places aren't hurting you. They're not hurting anyone. Yet tiny little "men" like you leverage social anonymity and the lack of consequences to try to twist the knife a bit. That anon can always choose to do something else. He can get into therapy and work on what's eating at him. You will always be a small, bitter little guy with a shit moral compass.

>>556403552That's common knowledge though. The game is made for no-lifes and streamers. I do play winter wipes though because outside is too shit this time of year to go ride my bike around... although I burned out on the game weeks ago at lvl 35 like usual. I shouldn't even be frequenting this thread but nothing else on this zoomer infested site interests me

>>556403552Did you really think anyone who dedicates 10k+ hours to a single video game is a well adjusted individual? This type of game attracts these people, the same thing happens with every full loot pvp mmo out there.I bought this game in august 2017, 3100 days ago. My account is clocked at 3200 hours, which averages out to about one hour a day since launch. I thought I was a tryhard, but it boggles my mind to see people prestige 5 10k+ hours plus arena who were level 30 in the first week of the wipe.
