can i wear a helmet?
How do I motivate myself to finish off these kappa quests and start the xp grind to prestige level?
>>556436878you must embrace your virginity
Man every time I do this task I forget how much of a pain peacekeeping mission actually is.>hate 5.56>don't want to build a decent M4 because shit armor means I'll get two-tapped in the chest by some timmy anyway>normally rack up 12 scav kills easily but suddenly they all dry up>when I die my garbage M4s still get taken because people figure any M4 must be worth over 200kWorth it for the lvl5 plates tho
>>556437621Use an Adar.
I'm quite sure they reduced scavs again as a method of "optimizing" the game. And yet my frames are still worse than they were at 1.0 launch.
What bolt action can I get the most ergo and lowest weight with? I really want to be able to ads for more than a few seconds while crouched
>kill a guy using ONLY the MP18 for setupOk, I respect the massive nuts to make the statement "I only need one shot"
>>556440421buy trimadol
>>5564409963 minutes of stamina recovery for 150k is not a good deal
>>556440421Meme answer Obrez.Slightly less meme answer probably Gornostay in the chassisNon meme answer Remington in the chassis
>>556441175Yeah this seems to be as good as I can get it
>>556440427we out here settin up
>>556441309I bring two shotguns when I do setup.
>>556441239The tan chassis.
>>556441384I bring three.
>>556441239well take off the suppressor or lay down
>get shot by 3 different people 30 seconds after raid start

MY GUN WAS ON FUCKING SEMI FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK
>>556441384GMI
Could there BE anything more devilish than killing a fully loaded pscav with 1 minute left in raid?
Which bolt action is most worth unlocking in arena? Im not the best at snapping to heads so thinking its one of the 338 rifles for me... or is the SV98 about the same with its ap ammo?
>>556450762Any of them work with the dedicated AP ammo, Take something magfed with 10 rounders.
You useless cucks, how do you find the scope adjusted mils multiplier for https://tarkovgunsmith.com/ballistic_calculator
Only playing arena instead of eft lately because the xp is more worth my time. Cant help but wonder if bsg sees shit like this and thinks "wow, they really like arena!"
>>556452495For me it's the opposite but I also dont care about the story or prestige. Just sniping comfy
>HEYA YOU IF YOU GO SOUTH YOU DIE LOL
>duo voips me as I'm looting his buddyAh well, still got his dogtag and ass'd his headset lmao.
>>556455103that's why i like sniping>they cant shoot back even if they know where I am if I'm far away>I can just sit patiently watching the body + wait for other kills if my angle is wide enough
>>556454682>spawns me here twice in a rowSUCK a fat cock you stupid fucks
>>556454682>>556455392look who killed me holeeee fuck
>>556455239I did snipe his buddy, he was also sniping though so I thought he was alone for some reason.
>>556455583This china guy has been cheating since November 18 without a ban. Insane how they let that happen. Level 3 covert movement btw.
>>556455583if they manually reviewed killa helmet players with 20+kds they'd clean the game up so muchespecially chinkoids
>>556455956They can't ban Chinese players or their overlords will fly to Russia and beat the shit out of one of them. Russia is China's vassal.
>>556456116very true forgot about the muscovite buck breaking
>>556455583Fucking shitters in this thread. There's nothing suspect about this profile. I'm tired of coming here and reading you all post completely average accounts.
>>556456879Ok Chang
>>556456879you're here every day posting stupid bullshit
RFD is my new best friend it's cheap and it wallops lamos
did your kd drop doing the "Wear a paca and a ratnik and kill 10 pmcs'?
>>556459440My KD drops for every fucking quest
>>556455583hes not even trying to keep his kda low kek
>>556460985uh it's called using a suppressor and good armor my kd is pretty high too he probably goes slow and hides on the corners of the map killing scavs

>finish health care privacy part 3>unlock a cascade of quests i have already all pre completed>get a level and a half of XP in thirty secondsfeelsgoodman. killed some turd trying to do sbih on woods by chasing him around a fucking rock until he died then managed to dip into both USEC and sawmill to get the quest items i needed. no more woods garbage for me for a bit thankfully
>>556462369did he really have to die in such an erotic position? just begging for it...
>>556462957Doggystyle only missionary is for marriage
>>556462887>killed some turd trying to do sbih on woodsTranslation: beamed some poor bastard with a garbage rod and lvl4 with my metastick, airsoft mask, and lvl6
>>556461417he has 100 hours less than me with five times the kills and nearly double my SR. maybe you guys who have been playing this game for a while dont remember what its like to be low hours in tarkov but there are maps im still completely clueless on. he is cheating
>>556463258>Translation: beamed some poor bastard with a garbage rod and lvl4 with my metastick, airsoft mask, and lvl6no i thoraxed him with M80 and then swapped to my SMG. he had an mxlr and kept on popping off a shot and then holding an angle. i would swing super wide on each peek to make him whiff and finally got him. i was wearing level 4 plates with an MPX, not a metagun.
>>556463258
>gear up>die within 10 seconds to the most obvious cheater nigger possibleThis happens way too frequently. I always die to some cheater scum in the mornings. Lesson to learn from this: wait for wagies to come home in the afternoon and then play Tarkov and let the niggerfaggot no-life cheaters go to sleep.
>>556463479>>556463632Alright fine. Little bit of pot calling the kettle black tho
Sometimes gents, you gotta commit to the bitNo you don't get to see my dogshit stats
>>556434146nope
rather tense of an encounter, shame I hadn't placed the wifi cameras earlier and missed on so many kills towards the questhttps://streamable.com/g19s7fa great raid overall, finished with 21 kills and someone had opened big red office, so I got farming part 3 done as well, and can now do sbih kills in ground zero
right this game is fucking boring now time to emulate some kino
Starting this late is kind of ass, but killing a kitted mfer is pretty cool.
>>556441717AICS gives better arm stamina. Weight > ergo for arm stamina.>>556451210Trial and error, unfortunately. Go into an offline raid with tracer ammo, take shots at something far way and see where the bullet hole appears.I know for a fact that the March Tactical has a 3.67 multiplier (source: SgtPrepper + my own testing), other than that, I've tested the 3-20x and 1-8x scopes (1.1 and 1.25 multipliers), but the 1-8x is honestly shit for sniping ever since they nerfed the zoom on scopes.
very weird insurance return. i didnt get the lower back... maybe i didnt insure it? i may have changed out the tx lower for one with full auto and forgot to reinsure that part. i dont think you can just take the whole upper in raid, right?
>>556473961yep you just didnt insure it
>some of the coolest gear in the game>99% of players won't ever see it>the remaining 1% can't even bring it out of raid and won't use it for more than a couple minutesWhy?
>>556431383>1st Raid of the Day>Insta Headshot by 96hour andyMR NIGKITA GET ME OFF THIS WILD RIDE
>>556476209
BRETTY good labs run, cant complainstill havent found that second hideout item though
>>556477060Oh do you enjoy getting cheated on cuck boy?
>>556479850I don't blame every death on cheaters.
>>556437621Not taking the most stacked M4 you can is Beta behaviour not Kappa Behaviour
>>556480026This is like one of only five times in the wipe that it is no debate a cheater for me, think before you speak anon if you don't know the circumstance
>>556474570They'll have an event where BD invades labs or something, people will get their gear then.
>>556478173>Crops out "PVE"
>>556482005it was pvp and i lose money 99% of the time, that was a unicorn run
>>556482005also why would i take trash like i have there into pveid deck out in the best shit in the game kek
>turn a corner on Labs>6 raiders standing around looking at a wall in utter silence all do a 180 in unisonThis is what good AI looks like in '26, folks
>>556480213For whatever it's worth, in 300 hours of tarkov (timmy) I still don't think I've ever been killed by a cheater. Arena, however, is another story entirely. I think arena is just a playground for rage hackers.
>Spawn on Interchang>Immediately Sandwhiched with nowhere to go
>>556481865I hope so, I would love random Black Division death squads on maps.
>>556483680How could anyone want to play ARC Raiders over this? I just don't get it!
I'M SORRY KIMMY THE TIMMY IT WAS PITCH BLACK AND I THOUGHT YOU WERE A SCAV>15/20 TD2 Kills now tho
>where's best place to hunt cultists where i won't get niggerbeamed or snuck up on by them
>>556488913Go customs, rush fort and hope they're around there, if not, go green flare and go again.
>>556488913>won't get niggerbeamedDefinitely not Woods thats for sure, fuckers beamed me from 200m away one of my first raids this wipe
>>556488913Woods on dead servers.
damn, I fucked this match
>spawn near a marked room so i open it up>mk17 and a deagleNigita strikes again
>>556459440That task isn't really that hard. I do it on fagtory, though.
I'm about to do Key to the Tower as a BEAR, and I now see that the WTP has 11 spawn points for the signaling device.
>>556459440No, because I know that it's actually a sniping quest.
>>556497308Rogues are braindead retards now, you can easily do it as a BEAR during daytime.
>>556497308just clear the rooftop rogues in lmg's and you'll be fine. don't think I died to them once during the entire wipe
>scavving>meet PMC coming out of bunkers on reserve>he panic sprays me, then runs away>chase him with nothing but an M700 with shit scav rounds>hes not taking cover, just running blindly away>take a snap shot, think i hit his shoulder>actually headshot him>dont get a sbih kill because i was scavvingdude was level 31, too. i also somehow got the .05 extra rep for boss assistance, even though glukhar was very much unhappy with me when he saw me
>>556437359congrats!
>running streets for quest items>hear pmc shooting at lexos>grab an SR2M from one of the kaban guards>push him>the gun is in fucking semieven nearly 1500 hours in, this game keeps surprising me with its bulshittery
>find good armor>next person I run into just so happens to have M993 loaded in his gunYep game is not rigged at all
>>556472773I never thought I'd see a kilometer shot in Tarkov. Holy shit. Was that backside rogue of building 1? >great fucking shot
>>556504372Truth is, The Game was Rigged from the Start
>>556506320>Was that backside rogue of building 1?That's right, I hit him on the first shot because he got off the MG. I would love to kill a PMC over 1km and get his dogtag, but it's extremely tricky with nerfed scopes. I did manage to hit a PScav on building 1 and had him bleed out later, lmao.>>great fucking shotThank you, I'm trying my best.
holy FUCK reserve is a confusing map. the underground is going to take me a month of only playing reserve to get a feel for.
>>556507516It really isn't, but as with all maps, it will take time to get accustomed to it.
>try to build workbench 1>get an error>go back in the hideout>I'm missing bolts nowAmazing fucking game, why even bother calling it 1.0?
>>556507774You were warned.
>>556440427Wait, you can use something else besides shotguns? Since when?
>>556507065I have a feeling you'll hit it sooner than later. >of course you'd have BASED DRIPI'm still working on psycho sniper after two weeks. It's like the cheaters know I'm on 4/5 everytime. I get one or two on factory then hit woods, then Tarkov'd. This is the longest I've spent on any quest in all my wipes. I'm baffled
First raid of the day, got The Punisher Pt. 2's combat and Safe Corridor done, nearly died to a player scav and Glukhar but made it out through the manhole. Me and the player scav had a good fight, he impact naded me and we circled around the air conditioners as I hipfire magdumped my handgun at him, but I killed him with a second rifle magazine. He was my last kill needed for Corridor.
Is it just me or some people in Arena make 0 movement noise even while sprinting whereas people seem to know where I am at all times even if I'm lurking around in ADS and there is a firefight going on nearby. I use either Liberators or Comtac VI wtf is happening I can't seem to hear shit over gunfire but everyone prefires me almost all the time.
>getting chased in Factory by a turbo decked out duo, other one is wearing fort armor>play along as if I was running away from them, just trying to escape>fort armor dude just pushes on>throw a nasty juke and then put a bullet inside his brain by hitting him in the fact a couple of times>his friend goes completely silent, as usual>starts throwing nades randomly everywhere>hear him running>start running and trying to get a good angle on him>he just looted his friend up and quickly ran for the exfilI don't even need the gear, I just wanted to fight. What a sad sack of shit, lmao. I wasn't even using good gear and had run out of sp-6, so my mags were filled with sp-5.
>>556509950It's just you. Gunfire obviously masks almost all noise, but other than that, I feel like I can hear everyone across the map. It's pretty desorienting, since there's so much movement sounds stacked up at all times.
>cant even train on my poverty build m855 slinger in arena because m855 isnt in the gameim at the point where i just want to run one single gun to get consistent. i know im gonna get stomped hard in arena with my basic bitch scar but i wanna practice and get better
>>556510851And why would it matter, if you get stomped on using your underdog gear? You'll still get experience with the build regardless and should even get a kill here and there.Hell, I'm leveling Gornostay in Arena and even though I get shit on by meta people, I still get some kills and get better and better with it too. Though, I'm just doing level 3 mastery for all weapons.
>>556510558>factMeant face, obviously, even though "t" isn't even next to "e".
>have survived 3 Factory runs in a row with budget gear and killed PMCs in every single one of them>in two of the three raids killed a dude trying to do that m4 + kiver + fort armor taskHoly shit, I'm LOCKED IN for a change.
ded general ded gaym
>found 2 Salewas>got one tapped by a fucking mosin
can anyone get me a pkp for gunsmith 25? ill cover initials + whatever else
>Factory is pretty silent from the very start>get some tasks done and head for gate 3>in front of the gate are the bodies of 3 PMCs, 2/3 dogtags taken, but none of their gear>two of them even have full stacks of BIS ammo inside their rigsStrange. They were all killed by the same guy too and the bodies were in good cover. I just looted EVERYTHING and got out.
>>556516661It's ok Stimmy you will find more
how do I get pmc kills on interchange? there's nobody playing that map
>>556516661I wish I was this new.
>>556518080>>556518904I'm gonna have to disappoint you guys.
>>556518803I constantly run into PMCs inside the mall and inside that new camp next to that new river exfil?
>>556518803When you're not actively chasing gunshots, rat.
They should change pockets to belt. Where you can buy belts that has different slots. And if you're a brokie and can't afford a belt, it'll default to the pocket slots.
>>556519167think for a secondif nikita did that, how would he charge $250 for the super special edition?
Glukhar and his guards were at the fucking dome what the fuck man
>>556519013Anon...
>>556519167Who the FUCK even cares about pockets or belts? It's so easy to get fuck HUEG rig/vest without any substantial cost.
>>556519354i think glucose is the only boss that roams like crazy
>>556519354It's the place to be.
>>556519013>Wearing an ArmbandYeah you did disappoint me bro
>>556520549I've only been head eyes by an ai once since wearing the armband that protects me from it.
>>556519354Lol.
>>556520659Based superstition enjoyer.
>>556520549Armbands are based if they're quest related, it's only cringe if you wear something you have to paypig for, like the Unheard armband or pic related.
>>556520659Does that work on bosses? because I have never been headshot by an AI all wipe so far>>556521235Actually agree, I killed a guy with the Train Hard Armband the other day and I had to stop and admire it, it would be good if you could keep them after prestiging (especially since you need to be level 50 for it)
how would you feel about a vest you can pack with grenades that sets off when you die as a new game mechanic?
>>556521789It's too goodgamedesignpilled...
>>556507516The underground is very simple. Do you get lost navigating your house?
>>556521994Anon gets beaten by a literal single cell organism in navigating. Pretty rough, if we are being honest.
>>556521558>it would be good if you could keep them after prestigingYou can bring them with you, if you're willing to sacrifice some space.
I wouldn't have noticed this guy while I was looting if he chose a place without interesting blood all around it that caught my eye. I just saw a bunch of bodies and needed some soda.
If someone had the name ropes4twinks do they want to tie up twinks, hang twinks, shoot ropes of cum into twinks? Notice there's a big gay community in Tarkov
i love taking this little adar in. i literally always get it back with insurance because its an adar and it looks stupid
>>556522629I suppose 1 space for a little armband ain't so bad1 less bitcoin to get >>556523490I would hope it would be shooting ropes and tie upPersonally the would have to be Femboy tier for me to shoot ropes into but hey Tarkov is probably full of S Tier Fags who don't need the femininity
I'm going mad with that great heights task. Out of the current 14 tries, I've been the top capturer and top killer in fucking 11 of those games now. I'm once again headed for another task failure. I'm just using the metaest of the meta builds now and tryharding as hard as I possibly can, but no. I get like 1-2 wins at best and then lose those 4 games and fail the task.I'm going mad, lads. The amount of money I've lost doing this task is also starting to get pretty damn high.
I wonder if this thing can survive long enough to have all of its parts enhanced
>>556524120Seems strange to not get random teams. I'm a 0.9 KD player and I win more than half of my checkpoint games.
>>556523896got camped by some dude with ttv in his name which means hes cheating, but i got two PMC kills with my little adar throwing the humble SOST.
I've been in the command area of the reserve bunker waiting this entire time and not a single pmc has come in
GET YO FREE GUNS FREE RESERVE GUNS FOR EVERYONE!
If you're wondering, milk is 80k on the flea right now because of me. Polock10 bought it all out and I DM'd him and called him an idiot for relisting it at 88,888. He just doubled down and did it again lol
>>556525691Lucky fucking you.
>>556524120Just failed the task for the 4th time. Last game I did everything I possible could to hold us afloat. I had more captures than my FUCKING TEAM COMBINED, had the most kills and 3/4 of the match we were barely winning. Then my team just completely shits the bed and we end up losing by like 5 points. Holy FUCK I AM SO FUCKING ANGRY FUCK THIS FUCKING GAME AND ITS FUCKING RNG TASKSIn the above mentioned game only one teammate even had a positive kdr, everyone else just had like a 0.25 kdr and 1-2 captures, when I had almost 20. I have ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA what my teammates were doing. Sometimes it felt like I were holding a point from the whole enemy team, but my FUCKING TEAMMATES wouldn't capture a single free point during that time. Hell, even if I had just KILLED THE WHOLE ENEMY TEAM, only the points I were at were being captured.WHAT THE FUCK, ANONS!?!?!
>>556526631One finally came in with less than 20 minutes left, closed the door I was looking through for him to open pkpts and then ran after looting it
best non labs place to farm ololo vitamins?
>>556524939I just don't know anymore. See my other post for comedic rant value. I'm at ~2 KDR every fucking match and have the most captures and try my best to also hold points, but no. It's just not enough. Nothing is enough. I just can't fucking split into three places to save my gornostay-using retard teammates.
>>556526685Why don't you just ask a few anons from the general to carry you? You can stay silent or autistically screech and we'll have jolly cooperation
>>556526828ANY places with medicals. I've found a ton in Interchange. I have like 20 of them just waiting to be sold.
>>556526828Woods medcamp.
>>556526943>my gornostay-using retard teammatesYour rageposts have inspired me to only fuck around with dumb guns in LH. When I play CP, I try to win so if I happen to have someone on my team doing that gay task at least it won't be me that's the reason we lost.
>>556526828scav on streets and go to the millions of medical bags everywhere
How do I get the aggression to chase gunshots? How do I get the aggression to actually move towards players instead of staying still and hoping they move into my los?
>>556519064why is this dude's 300 usd vodka next to the 34k rouble ones, but my 262 one all the way in the 40000s? did they just fix the currency exchange rates on FM?
>>556527913I've leveled it to MR 3 in Arena and oh boy, is it painful to use. The AP rounds don't pen reliable any of the armor people are using, so sometimes you'll need like 2-3 chest shots to kill your enemies. Hell, there's a high chance that your ammo won't even go through their helmets.t. rageposter anon
>>556528396I JUST NOTICED THIS TOOK 30MILLION OF MY ROUBVLES IN TAXES WHAT THE FUCKKKK??????
>>556526960Maybe I should, but now I just gave up on it, once again. One of my dailies was to win 3 CPTs, so I got those after failing the task again 2 times. Tomorrow's a new day and all that.Like statistically it's starting to get pretty fucking ridiculous to have this kind of a constant deviation from the expected winratio value of 0.5 Even if I played an infinite number of games, I'd still be stuck at like fucking 0.25 at this rate.

How long until BSG scraps Arena completely? NOBODY finds this game fun, it's so fucking boring and unfun, if it weren't for the p2w aspect nobody would touch this dogshit.
>>556528701You must've typed in something retarded and then clicked yes on the box telling you that you clicked something retarded.
>>556530165>>556528701Take this as a good learning lesson because next time it might be 100 millionI was going to buy one to pity you but I cannot find your listing
>>556528701>>556530165Kek, based retard. Don't be so fast next time.
Where is everyone on reserve? I can go up to dome and snipe from the rocks or the top and see no one all raid. I can go into the bunker at raid start and sit in command and no one comes in. WHERE THE FUCK IS EVERYONE?
>>556530165There's even an entire popup telling you that you're listing the item for way higher or lower than current market value. Extremely based retard anon

>>556532870And here I was thinking that my random dips below 60 were bad. Damn.
>>556530165Hey at least you won't lose them
>>556533230As a poopsock I've always gotten the SBiH kills fastest by just running a bolt-action + reddot and going full CQB. Kinda miss it when SBiH still required 150 m meter headshots, lmao.
>>556531142>it also took away 10 of my flea rep btwTalk about kicking someone already on the ground, damn. Anon, I promise you, it will only be uphill from here.
>>556533418It'd suck for maps like GZ or even Customs because there's not a 150m long sightline in any of them
About to pop a bloodvessel playing Arena
>>556533418they should bring it back to 50m at least
Snipers should probably get an updated hitbox so the OP ammo doesnt kill you instantly, the bolt actions are too strong in arena. Non vital areas shouldnt insta kill you should have to hit center
Who taught a mosin timmy to camp the car? I found him afk here unless he was just afk on spawn he didn't even have a scope
>build a cool gun>throw on my best armor>go into shoreline>matching for 8 minutes>get blasted by a 11k hours player 1,5 minutes into the raid and dieYep, it's gaming time.
>>556533068In my experience getting shooter born done without too much pain is either getting lucky and being in the right place at the right time, or sitting in a well traveled area and just waiting until someone walks in front of you. Trying to brute force can be really painful. >>556533230It's a tacticool lever action. It fits the rifle.
>survive an absolute fucking BARRAGE of bullets from a duo>not high enough level to have access to stim case and no good stims on me>pop a morphine and quickly put out the bleeds>out of muscle memory start sprinting, while everything is blacked out expect for thorax and head>die instantly to running damageI'm so fucking furious with my self. Played my cards right and survived an encounter I shouldn't have only to step myself to death. I was in good cover, there was no need to sprint, but it just kinda happened after popping the morphine. FUCKING HELL!
>>556534013You need to hit the thorax or head, though. Arms will block shots pretty often and it's pretty easy to hit the stomach. I still find the one shot snipers annoying as fuck but there's not really any other way that bolt actions will work in arena, especially now. You gotta be pretty good to be any real nuisance with them. That being said, they were way stronger when the movement still had inertia and you couldn't ferrari peak every corner and abuse the netcode.
>>556534481no it's too strong the sides of the torso need to be trimmed out of lethal hitbox
>>556534481>there's not really any other way that bolt actions will work in arenaThis. I don't even use bolt guns but it just makes sense that they're totally useless unless they can thorax you. Otherwise you have to hit a headshot immediately every time against e.g. a scout with zero recoil 4.6 which can also headshot you for a one hit kill. It's the only way bolt actions can be even slightly balanced.
>>556534149Shoreline is not a map for playing
>>556534013Ahahaha, WHAT? If you hit anything but the torso/head, you won't kill them. If you miss your shot, you are 95% of the time dead. Turning the best bullets into non-one-taps will just render them completely useless. Just try running one for a while and you'll understand. It's pretty rare to see any bolt-action user to have a kdr of higher than 0.5.
>>556534964I used to like it after the overhaul, but not when it's snowing. You are so ridiculously easy to spot against the white snow, so doing anything but sniping is a death sentence. I'm just trying to do some tasks and man, is this painful.
>>556535162nigga I use them and any time I'm forced to use anything else and die to bolt actions (headshot/class quests) it's extremely cringe
>>556535286Honestly i never get sniped on shoreline. I feel like you've often got enough defilade from terrain variation to stay pretty safe. 99% of my deaths on shoreline are at pier or resort.
It's ridiculous how easy it is to level up weapons in Arena. It used to take some time to reach mastery rank 3 in EFT, but now you can literally get to level 3 in like 1-2 matches in Arena. Just stupid. Should've at least buffed the mastery rank xp gain in EFT or something.
>>556535321There's a difference between something being cringe and actually viable.
>>556535562>being able to 1 shot people is not viable brookay
>>556535794>what is ps12b on assault
>>556535794You are unbelievably stupid.
Killed two players on Reserve and got out. Well, the first was chasing somebody down and I felt like being a hero, and the second was the sole survivor of the D-2 massacre, I do kind of feel bad about him but I would've held my fire if he hadn't cleared my angle... Still no raider kills...
>>556535886not guaranteed to 1 shot>>556535907no u
>>556535918I'm getting raiders constantly at raid start when I just want to get in to a camping spot and wait.
>>556535886Retard.
What the fuck do I do about this....
>>556536431Sell stuff.
>>556536431Pillboxes suck, they are heavy for how little they store.
>>556536431Stop hoarding like a mentally ill and disassemble your guns.
18 minutes for someone else to come into the bunker.
>>556536651All of them are disassembled except the ones that take up more space that way.>>556536568They're space positive tho.
>>556537562Your stash shouldn't be space positive backpacks, it should be items cases if anything. The more big fucking blocks of shit you can't easily tetris around, the harder it gets to manage your stash.
>>556537648Considering he has less than 2 million rubles, I'd say that he doesn't have access to easy item cases yet.
>finally a good snoreline raid>got some kills, managed to loot half of resort>eat some tuna to free up space>game crashes while eating>load back in asap>manage to get back in just to see my PMC getting killed by a ai scavThis game truly is cruelty made manifest.
>>556538431Also, for some reason I was stuck at "loading objects" for like 5 minutes, even though game loads normally go by super fast due to me having a good rig. What the hell was up with that? Whatever caused that ended up killing me, since it took so long to get back in.
Crisis postponed. Now I just need to die, and die hard.>>556537648Yup. Two more levels and I'll be able to fix this for good (hopefully).
>>556539379The only space positive backpack I'd recommend is the lbt with the cheap barter on ragman. You can store a decently long gun + another backpack in it and keep doing that.
>>556539379this nigga is storing a scav vest mp 18 and mp155 an ushanka in his stash ahahah
>>556540090Bro needs his setup gear.
Still, after like 9 years with this game, it still amazes me how this game just fucking SLURPS time. I start playing after work and gym thinking that oh boy, I have like 10 hours to play only to realize that after "a few raids" it's 4 AM.Hopefully I'll be able to finally Escape from Tarkov before my firstborn gets into this world. I'm pretty sure I won't be able to put the hours needed into this game after that happens.
>>556540850the problem is the egregious load times, half your team is just waiting around doing nothing
>>556540850I would kill myself if they ever had a "time spent in loading screen" stat. I think atleast 1/4th of my playtime must've been spent just waiting.
Made it to the bunker and flicked the switch first, engaged 3-4 players, killed somebody and made it out again, but still no raider kills. I guess it's not an important mission, but fuuck.
>>556543941It's gotten better. It's still not great though
>>556543941I've started thinking about that whenever I see the 8000+hr accounts. There's like over a month of loading time in there>>556544402It really hasn't gotten any better. I swear that reconnecting to a raid seems to take longer now as well
>have a gorillion rubles worth of loot on me>see Sanitar at pier>have literally 0 reasons to risk my loot>still go there and engage>get hit in the eyeball instantly by one of his guardsHoly fuck I'm so fucking stupid FUCK
>>556544402Maybe I'm wrong but I swear when I played more around 2019 I could load up with a shotgun and just get in a match in under 2 minutes. I would just repeatedly spam raids and spam buckshot at peoples faces to cuck their quest progress. I never played the game normally because I despised shoreline too much to quest. I still hate shoreline but there's way less people on it now so you can actually just afk then complete tasks 90% first try
>>556543941>>556544243Yeah, as a wagie this one's the worst. After work I may have like time for a raid or two, but just sitting in a 5-10 minute matching just to get doinked in 2 minutes tends to get under my skin. It was different way back when I was a uni student and could pretty much neet this game for thousands of hours. Back then the loading times weren't such a problem.
>>556545335If I dont feel like watching a show or listening to music and actually wanna have an intense gaming session I am not picking tarkov gotta play something else. Too much downtime
As an ultrafuck shitter with an uzi with pen 0 ammo, should I aim for face or legs? Im playing baby ground zero still.
>>556551124LEGS NIGGA!
>>556551124If you're using the shitty aperture iron sights, definitely legs.
>>556551124I actually think head is better it has zero recoil. If you keep encountering faceshields then start going for legs.
I love this sitting in this corner
I have a lot of fun tormenting noobs on low level ground zero as scav. I try break their legs than taunt them on voip. It's great fun when they voip back. I try not to kill them
>>556472773I did test it in offline mode and 1.26 was closer but maybe it doesnt make a huge difference. It's hard to get the exact mid point estimates if it's not an even mil dot. What resolution to do you play on and FOV? Would that make a difference on the scope? I play 1440p and I think 70ish fov
Insomnia is my bitch in this spot
>>556562274What happened to your VAL Mr Rat?
>>556562508Insurance fraud
Even on factory this task is a slog. suppressors make shotguns worse
>>556536148holy aids. I wish people had to hook into a neural network and if you used any outside resource for videogames, any cheats, or exploitation of any kind it triggered an explosive in your brain.
>>556564381Meh, can just hipfire laser/flashlight with the semi auto ones
>>556562903Smart smart RatI just Ratted my last 2 kills for TD2 so the Ratting is fueling the beast tonight>Goodnight eftg I rest now for TD3 begins in the morn
Spent an hour of my life waiting for someone to show up on customs but they all transit abuse or flare extract so nobody actually moves. Go to woods and somehow some guy walks into my killing zone without me seeing and headshots me. Like holy fuck I think 90% of the playerbase is transit bug abusing or radar hacking to avoid players
>>556565878It does feel like I see almost no one in my raids even if I take crazy exposed spots that let me see most of the map.
>>556566367I'm 90% sure they literally all either sit in one spot till the raid is almost done or play in their "safe" area near their spawn then take the closest transit
>>556566606I only catch actual players near the end of the raid trying to cross to their extract side of the map, usually newer players. Everyone that is more experienced murders me right away at the start of the raid or disappears forever with no in between.
>>556565878I was trying to get insomnia kills and cultist kills on customs for a few days and barely saw anyone when I was rushing fortress every raid. Where the fuck is everyone?
>>556566928Me too. I see maybe one person at fortress per raid. Where do the others go? Supposedly there are 8+ more. Maybe the game is bugged and putting less players per raid than supposed to?
>>556566928when i was ratting in the spot posted above I would get at least one a raid. usually the flare would go off at some point so i started moving to a spot to camp flare later in the raid.
>>556564381Short barrel + suppressor best config
>>556503463>not checking gun and rounds before using gun1500 more hours to go
>>556567548I checked the rounds, but the silly me assumed a gun I saw being shot at full auto moments ago was set to full auto. guess it hit the ground too hard and switched back to single
I just killed a scav on reserve that had an akms with a ubgl and 4 more rounds in his pockets. That's the first time I've seen an ai scav with one other than boss guards.
https://streamable.com/242kzaBehold. 100 hours of sniping experience. his friend killed me after this but I forgot to save it
>keep getting the exact same spawn every single raid in a rowWhat is this bullshit and why won't it stop?
>>556568314my goodness that timmy has no braincells. learning the bullet drop in this game is a nightmare so i dont blame you. every gun/ammo combo is different
>>556568758reboot your game
>>556568832I don't want to reboot every other raid.
>>556568758Spawn is based on how fast you load in I heard
>>556569193I have like 10 ms to the server and one of the better samsung ssds, but it really shouldn't be the same fucking spawn 5+ raids in a row. This happens constantly to me even when I play with friends.
>>556569319They supposedly fixed it but the bug came back, like palpatine
>>556568784I think the DVL makes literally no noise or something even if the impact lands close, or it sounds like a stray cause plenty of people have done that for me this wipe.I topload one round of m61 so the follow up shot is never accurate. The one time I didnt bring m61 there was a guy with an altyn so I just do it every raid now
Died to the third, but goddamn did that feel good. Fuck squadniggers, and fuck sbih on reserve.
Checkpoint anon you just gotta believe to win checkpoint I'll give you an example where I believed
Jfc this loadout weighs 34 kilograms
>>556568314to be fair that first shot on the second dude must've missed him by an inch. Also you're aiming right, just misjudging his movement. Seeing how many I hit when I whiff something in the after report usually makes me feel better and worse about. >>556567029>>556566928I've been seeing a lot of bolties. Normally I'm ahead of the curve, but I had to take a two week vacation through 15th century bohemia (KCD2 is fucking amazing) and now I'm on Psycho Sniper and just finished up TS8, so I'm thinking the bulk of people are doing similar.
>>556571159>NIG FLOYD
>>556565878>>556566367>>556566606>>556566790>>556566928>>556567029They go to the dormitories to die to the highest level player in the server.
>>556571986I go to dorms all the time and it's a complete snoozefest with one player if any, especially at night.
>>556571986Nah I was going to dorms at night to farm red rebels on customs and never ran into a single player. Every map feels like a ghost town.
>>556572285Farming red rebels on customs is retarded when you have 3 marked rooms on reserve
>>556572435I hit reserve like 40 times and got one. I hit 314 5 times and got one. Customs was better for it
COMPLETELY FORGOT that shoreline has new spawns. Spawned at tunnel running along the beach thinking I was safe ahead of me and ran right into a guy just prone on a hill
>>556572525If you spawn at the area west southwest of the resort you are sandwiched between like 5 spawns lol. I once had a raid where there were three separate firefights near me within 1 minute there. I died but they didnt take my gear cause it was so chaotic kek
>>556572435>>556572523I've gotten ~6 red rebels on reserve and only one on customs.
>>556572626Yeah I gotta rethink my shoreline plan off spawn, it's all different now. Spawns seem in a real neat little ring around the entire map though, so I'll probably just push left or right at the start of raid with caution and I'll be fine. It'll also be important to push in a way that covers your rear from the spawn behind you
>spawn in barracks near marked on reserve>setup at the room across from the door>naked pistol man runs right in and opens it>injectors case, red rebel, mdr, and like 5 more 80k+ gunsI did sbih on reserve entirely with a red dot mxlr and I think I'll be doing it for the few maps I have left as well.
>>556431383haven't played this game since they added unheard edition, how's the game bwos?
>>556572764For better or worse labyrinth and terminal are a pressure release valve so that it doesnt end up as a too big of a mess if you can just be patient for like 3 mins off spawn. Unlike before where you are fighting whether you like it or not
>>556572904Still quite a lot of bugs and long load times. Quests are a little better. Story is shit imo and the final map is literally just PvE vs cracked bots which is extremely cringe. Ammo can longer be put in your ass so armor is actually useful now that they cant just keep reloading good ammo from their buttholeOverall I think this wipe is still its best yet but that's not saying much their team sucks ass at coding
>>556572848bravo4 with red dot on top is nice and lets you shoot further as well
>>556573107Just checked it, weird that I can't put an rmr mount but I can put a deltapoint mount. I guess I'll give it a go.
>>556572638Yeah I've gotten like 10 on reserve good money
>>556573189can't check now, but iirc you should be able to put the RMR low profile mount on it
>>556573329You're right. You can, it just doesn't show it in the listings on linked search.
When do you retire the old girl?
killed some more giga sweats doing the dumb tank helmet task. A Prestige 5 no life. I had damaged lvl4 armor and he loses with PS12B. and tagilla helmet Absolute shitters 1:06:00 https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2691250254
>>556572915I think you're right, did a second raid and spawned by path to lighthouse. Basically ran across the north end of the map to smugglers for scav kills, doubled back to resort around 28 mins left in raid. Place was totally dead. Whole map was dead really lol, still only managed to find 6 scavs the whole raid despite having free reign
This level 3 has absolutely no idea how much his death has helped me.I found a sledgehammer on a shelf but didn't have a big enough bag for it so I spent 10 minutes skulking around the mall and outside trying to find one, all the while it sounded like a fucking LMG exchange at the centre of the mall, once the 10 minute mark rolled around, I decided I had nothing to lose and went to see if any of the bodies around the gunfire had a bag, then I saw this guy standing in the middle of the courtyard going through his inventory, I thought it was a scav or something but he opened fire on me after a second and I dumped the full USP I found at him.The whole encounter felt so fucking unreal. Why was he standing there, and how did he even survive whatever the hell was happening around him?
>>556575376And the random gzhel I found in some container had level 5 plates, which this guy took 30/50 of the durability off of and was starting to penetrate. So bizarre.
I'm kind of embarrassed I unloaded and shredded some guy and he managed to run away from me and escape into the night after a short chase. As a consolation a random scav gave me a marked key on my way out.
>kill 2 absolute juicers>crash like 10 seconds later>try to reconnectFUCK YOU!!!!!!
>>556576446I accidentally collat'd his buddy while trying to get through his tagilla mask. I managed to get his mask, earplugs, and dogtag before the crash. Fucker was level 61.
Oh man, this spot is fucking war crimes
I have no idea where to find people for sbih on shoreline. Where should I generally go from either side of the map?
>>556576446>>556576709Wow.
>>556576709nice, but a pity with the crash
>>556577390when I did it I played largely around these 3 clusters of rocks. you get a good overview of villages, power and pier and can in general see a lot of the open fieldsif you get spawn up north might wanna try rushing the roof of resort also, and sniping people as they enter
>>556578087>>556577390the places that guy marked are good and so is watching the NE part of scav camp and car extract areabut really you can just lay down on a hill and wait 10 mins then reset and get it done pretty fast
God I hate how expensive the tasks are in this game
>>556579972You can make money so quickly from scavving that it doesn't matter.
>spared a timmy after his helmet ricocheted my bullet and he kindly asked me to not kill him in voipwhy am I so incredibly soft, hope he at least got his task done so it wasn't for nothing
>>556580607That's not the point
>>556576709fuck the gear were you able to turn in TS8?!
>>556581910Nope.
>>556582015>painI'm so sorry
>>556582649I'm just glad to be done with sbih on interchange. I've already whiffed 3 opportunities on shoreline, hopefully it doesn't keep happening.

How many raids it take you to do? Usually takes me around 80-100
>>55658422120
>>556584221Probably 20-30 like the other anon said. Generally I'd just rush dorms and pick a floor to patrol. That or fortress.
>>556583026I waited until I could pair TS8 and Psycho Sniper for extra sounds of failure with each death.
>spawn in at garage>immediately hear footsteps, take an angle>one tap the first guy as he comes in>hear the other one taking a flank>exchange a little bit of gunfire, he ducks back behind a truck so i break contact>run outside, take cover behind a truck to hit a zagustin>he pursues after figuring out I'm no longer there>swing super wide from a bad left hander >flick, ads, one tap faceI think i just got reported
>>556584202All skill despite not even waiting to aim before shooting
>>556584538>>556584605Gotcha. I've been trying to combo with sbih with cheapskate mp-18 runs
>>556584931I stand by my recommendation to bring two shotguns so you don't have to worry about reloading. You will be overweight but you really shouldn't be looting while doing a pmc kill task anyways.
>>556584931mp-18 is a shotgun not a bolt actiion it's smooth bore
>>556585008It counts for sbih.
>>556585059dont think it used to so that's a recent change if youre not wrong
>>556585116Probably at the same time the MXLR came out, if lever actions count I don't see why a single shot wouldn't. Also gorno is smoothbore too
>>556568314>A Shooter Born in Hell
>>556574882>almost 1000 Scav raidsBro...
Are there any other good extration shooters worth playing or trying? I haven't looked into any yet and I'm curious to see what passes for a good Tarkov-clone currently.
>>556587848what's shootout?
>>556588050I found arena breakout infinite sorta fun for a bit
>>556588338I think it's the PVE mode but I'm not sure.
>>556589135Can't be. It's 2.0. maybe it's that old tournament thing they had
>>556588338please god be gungame
>>556589538it's fortnite mode where you have to pick up a gun and kill people before they get theirs like Terminal (the best gaming experience of all time!)
>>556589697I hope we also start in the airdrop plane and have to parachute down on a big open map, that'd be so cool. With a shrinking circle of radiation.
>>556589796instead of an airdrop you do the jump upward on a mountain slope to slide and launch yourself onto the map
>>556585116It's been like that for over a year now. The change was made last (Korovod) winter wipe
Watched Landshart's thoughts on 1.0 and gotta say that I agree with most of it. Basically he says that they fucked it up and the game is dying. He asked "where are those 1 million players who bsg said bought it after 1.0 release?" He also mentioned that even ABI has more players now than Tarkov which is crazy to me but I dont doubt it seeing as it's free
>>556587848>integration of patch 1.0 changesI started playing like a month ago. This doesn't mean inertia, does it?
>>556595115probably not but could mean that delay with adsing after sprinting, which would be moronic
>>556595789Everything they've done is kind of moronic recently, isn't it? Other than changing the spawns at shoreline maybe?
>>556598598>recentlyoh timmy... there are manmade horrors beyond your comprehension...
fucking loser man
>>556600369That's only ~16 raids a day, I've seen worse.
There is still not one single tacticool FPS that allows you to do two forms of movement that are important in IRL CQBa.) running/powerwalking while ADS. dead simple to do in real life, important for closing distance on a suppressed target, would be incredibly easy to add to a game, does not exist in literally a single game everb.) fast side-to-side lunging for out of cover or corner turning movements, Tarkov comes the closest with the sidestep bind but it's shit and nobody uses it.
How long do you let a gun live? Took this off a duo so it's probably been insurance frauded 20 times
>>556535420tf is the point of gun mastery rank, though.. being able to reload while ADS? who cares
>>556612874elite weapon maintenance so my guns never go below 90 before i lose them
>entire lobby running shotguns and goofy shit like AVTs and bolt actions>except one boring sweatnigger ruining it for everyoneSick of these fucking losers, honestly
>>556612874Never use them past 90 durability, since that's when they start malfunctioning. Don't really like failing fights because I rolled the dice all wrong, since there's alreay enough RNG to this game's combat.

>>556626698Nah, I just got incredibly unlucky, even though anons try to bait me here. Literally out of all my games in like 90 % of them I was the one with the most captures and highest kdr. Got an MVP in almost all the games I won. If anything, the wins I got were mostly on me, instead of those niggers running around with gornostays and 0.1 kdr.
>>556627440I mean... Yeah.
>>556628467thats the easy question. when your mind opens to the full spectrum of all calculable possibilities, you will ask yourself: what didnt he mean by this?

>>556630465i play 1-2 pve raids a day and slowly progress my shit because it makes me happy
>>556630465After I get my 15 kills and survive labs once. Then I have truly Escaped from Tarkov.
>>556631231Changes the ejaculation animation.
Is there any kind of completely silent movement anymore in EFT? Haven't been up to date with things since crab walking stopped being silent.
>>556632469https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=agZv1Y484IY
im so fucking sick of cheaters on arena
Is Tarkov just going to have trader flipping forever now? Is Sew It Good going to be the same unbelievably janky task forever? A scary thought.
>>556634645>Sew It GoodSew it Good 3 is fucking aids the 2nd one you can atleast just paypig on flea
>>556634392You are just a shitter. I have no problem holding my ground and getting MVPs all day long without any software assistance.
>>556634645You VILL queue with 5 people on a night raid and shoot each other with blickies.
>>556635056>got two fort armors from PMCs by just running Factory, other one at 49% durability and other one at around 90%I got them fair and square, but still, I got so fucking lucky. I remember the last time trying to do it by getting one from a barter, hiding after the raid started and then using scavs to damage myself.
New weapon parts in arena fucking when
>>556635535This is the kind of a squadniggers I'll be facing when I need to get some tasks done in Factory.
SCAAAAAAAAVGAAAAAANG
>failed great heights part 4 five times before getting it done>after I got it completed, I've won like 7 games in a rowI fucking hate this game, even when things are going great. Like WHY THE FUCK couldn't I get a win streak like this, when I needed it?
>>556630465I think I'm getting close. Questing is giving me too much cancer. PvP is just oops you walked into a guy and now you're dead.
>be me>spawn near art scultpure on Streets>too used to dying by sprinting, so i go way slow>spot a fellow doing exactly what i used to do>two shots and he's down>he's got a fucking thermals cope m700>grab the loot>his buddy tries to flash me but misses.>sprint back, scan the area>no sign of him, sprint to flare>for shits and gigs, scan pinewood with a thermal>fully meta'd chad in the street aiming at sniper scav>take him out with one shot>go to loot him but forgot where he was kek>sprint 150m BACK to my sniper spot>found him>go to loot>his buddy is hiding waiting for me>his buddy throws flashes, i run into pinewood and rat him out>several minutes go back to street>spot the flasher's backpack, steal it>hide in wrecked train, spot his buddy in post office>whiff the shot but ultimately bop him>grab the tags and gear, haul ass to flarelet it be known from this point forward that if i ever kill your friend, no amount of flashes will save you.
Oh boy, time to play some video games!>matching/waiting for players/loading for like 8 minutes>get in, a dogshit spawn>run through the nothingness>a bullet flies by my head fired from a completely silent gun from somewhere>try to zigzag, but eventually get hit, slow down and die>regear, takes like 1-2 minutes>7 minutes of waiting for another raidSometimes I sit more in different matching and queue timers than play the fucking game.
>>556642424I can cope with gearing up and matching in but getting stuck on a loading screen after I die to some bullshit is just too much.
I never understand complaints about matchmaking and loading times. You can alt tab and do something else, who fucking cares?
>>556643767You can do anything but play the fucking game, which is the main problem. I don't want to waste time between raids period. Should've made it a hard requirement for the game to launch to be installed on an SSD. Atleast then it would only be 2 - 4m wasted in a loading screen instead of 6 - 8m.
>>556643767>want to play the game>can't play the game due to shitty matching and load times that have been present for almost 10 years now>just alt tab bro and do something else! The world is your oyster!
Also I feel like back when the loading did not wait for those with slow rigs, the game was better. Loading times were much faster and those wiggers with povery rigs got punished for being poor - as they should - by not being able to rush loot spots at the start.Now it's full-blown socialism. One guy's playing on a scientific calculator and the game's installed on fucking vinyl discs? EVERYONE else has to wait.
>>556642424Alright this trend has just continued:>just need some scav headshot shotgun kills on Shoreline>after said 7min queue I spawn near Resort>just rush the ledx spawn near to me, only shitty loot>a trio comes in, die to them>regear and throw on a shitty shotgun>another 7 minute queue time>spawn in near sanitar's house>go check, nothing>loot around>another three man squad rushes there and I get head, eyed by the first shot fired>regear, once again>sit through another queue of only 6 minutes now>spawn near antenna>make my way towards that new base>get shot in the head while zigzag running by someone somewhere crossing the field>another regear>another x minute queue ahead of me, if I can be arsed anymoreNot a single scav kill was earned throughout all this. I've spent like 80% of my time today just watching matching screens. The resort death was my own doing, sure, since I wanted to be greedy and check the lootspots while having a pump-action shotty with 7 mm buckshot, lol.
FINALLY DONE WITH PSYCHO SNIPER! HOLY FUCK! FUCK THAT QUEST. Now I can focus on the fun ones, like test drive 2 and punisher 6
What's your guys' opinion on having to wait between certain quests?
>>556645860>test drive 2 and punisher 6>funpick one.
>>556645860>any task beyond that point>funlmaoing @ anon
>>556645530This time I'm sitting at fucking 9 minutes of matching + waiting for players + loading. Holy fuck.
>>556534263nice epic kill lmao, how is your girlfriend doing, did you have a wedding in roblox?
>>556649160>the insufferable brown seethes in impotent anger when he sees someone has friends
>>556538431I enabled monitoring interface to check my temps and noticed game loaded all my 32gb of RAM while getting into customs run.increase your pagefile pussu
>>556649160Who the fuck gets this assmad just because someone plays EFT with friends? I'd play with friends, if any of them still played this game.t. 3000 hours in solo
>>556647019Holy fuck, this game is such fucking ridiculous bullshit:>survive a single raid without finding ANY FUCKING SCAVS ON THE WHOLE MAP>loot and get out>another 8 minutes of sitting in fucking loading screens>spawn in near the village next to tunnel>just go in a random shed, alt tab and wait until everyone has fucked off to resort and scavs have spawned it>suddenly, after like fucking 10 minutes of doing other things I hear a ground hit the ground near me>get back in>another grenade lands near the shed I'm in, completely immobile and silent for the past 10 minutes>hear someone slow walking outside the shed>quick peek out and die fucking instantly to a standard account dude with low playtimeLike give me a fucking break. Yeah, maybe I got incredibly unlucky and he saw me at the start of the raid or something, but still, why the fuck would you just wait for a random PMC with a nigger-tier shotgun to emerge out of a random lootless shed? If that dude didn't have radar then I don't know what's what anymore.I fucking hate playing this piece of a shit game during the weekends. It's literally like 4/5 just watching loading screens instead of playing the fucking game. I've gotten ONE FUCKING SCAV HEADSHOT KILL WITH A SHOTGUN throughout all this.
This game's so fuckin' retarded lmao
>>556646201>>556646056That's the joke. but once the bolty quests start, I just can't stop them until I don't have to use them anymore. That way, I'm at least "excited" to be using a semi-auto. let alone a shitty full-auto
>>556650571Also it's another setup kill and 4/5 of them have been the mp-18, and 3 of those have been with irons lmao
>>556651271Wait, you can get setup kills with that rifle? WHAT?
>>556649319>>556649636>squadniggers and their pussyshit doing "quests" and making webms about their epic kills while fagbuddy is covering his ass
>>556651767Yep. It's pretty sweet. They also count as bolt action kills so I'm stacking SBiH at the same time
>>556652389Might give it a try. At least that gun can use ammo that goes through everything and if I remember it right, you can even put some optics on it (?).
>>556652961Yeah I've been using the S&B 3-20, great for customs and if 3x is too much magnification you can just pull it off and use the irons.I personally just use FMJ for it because of easy holdovers and it'll headshot through anything that's not an Altyn anyway.
>>556652961You can put scopes on the mp-18, yea. Even if you finish setup before you get SBiH customs is such a sniper friendly map that it's one of the easiest to get kills for.
>start of the raid, time to do some tasks>go into that Voron key room instead>like 2 million rubles worth of loot inside>get anxious and just get outFug
Lmao this retard spent 30k to not kill me.
>>556654928Yeah, he must be soaking in tears right now. Your post is only acceptable if you actually killed the dude, but considering you just posted a picture of your wound stats, I guess you didn't.
>>556655676Fuck no I didn't. What was I supposed to do, flick him with my 870 at 200m?
>>556655792I'm disappointed in you, anon.
>got shot at by a decked out duo in the middle of nowhere on Snoreline yesterday>had really good gear on>died while trying to heal myself in cover, but still in the open>got all my gear back from insuranceIt's surreal that they did not go check my position or try to chase/flank me. It's also amazing that nobody found my corpse considering I was in the open and on the path from Resort to path to lighthouse exfil. Oh well, can't complain.
>>556655907I'm curious how much damage a pellet of 7mm buck will do at 200m lmao
>>556655907>>556656167Lmao. Also I didn't have night vision and I was doubling up on Spa Tour 1 and Thirsty Hounds. I wonder if the guy simply repositioned but I like to think I juked his ass by shooting a flare towards him then sprinting the other way. Let me have my cope anon, I had sanitar's cms on me and I didn't wanna fight ;_;
>>556656409Btw 31 m/s is about 100fps which is half of what a slingshot puts out.
>have a standoff with another PMC at the hydro powerplant or whatever the hell it's called>he's hunkered down upstairs and won't do anything by try to quick peek and take shots>he has decent gear, I only have paca + shotgun, since I was doing spa tour part 1>try to use scav weapons to take shots at him, hit him multiple times>his shots go through my armor without any problem>3,5 minutes left (Pier isn't active, since I just came from there)>take some shots at him, see sparks flying from his helmet (RRREEEEE)>fix myself up, 3 minutes left>become too greedy, since I need PACA pmc kills for Ref>he manages to headshot me at like 3 minutes leftYou bastard. Though, I'm pretty sure he won't be making it out either, since Pier isn't available and it's going to be tight getting from hydro to road to customs in 3 minutes. I was just ready to risk it all for the kill, since my gear had fuck all value, lol. Normally I have better gear on me, but this one time I just threw some absolute trash on.
Are the 20 rounder Magpuls worth it on 7.62 AKs? +3 ergo is pretty choice.
>>556661413Not really. You only get -1.5 ergo with the 30 rounders anyway.
>>556650137Cheaters regularly try to get grenadier kills on anyone afk, I've experienced it so many fucking times it's unreal.
ALRIGHT IM BACK AND GONNA DO PSYCHO SNIPER ON NIGHT WOODS YIPPEE
>need to mark the heli and safe route>7 minutes of waiting to get in>spawn in and realize I forgot the markers>oh well, time to head to resort, since I got the closest spawn>get in, see a duo heading in and they see me>kill both of them by pulling all the fucking tricks in my book and they soak up all my 9 mm AP ammo>just about to go loot them>a fucking trio barges in and engages me>my solo ass is low on ammo and on hp>they kill me and I can hear them taunting my ass while falling into the abyssI'm so fucking sick of fighting nothing but squads. It feels like I have not met a single solo player today, it's always at least a duo I'm facing. Like holy shit, give me at least a single fair fight for a change.
>>556663610nigga just be happy you killed two people wtfbuy some tripwires and trap your position too so they die trying to get to you
>>556663768I'm only happy, if I excel in every encounter and get out alive. Everything else is a loss in my books.
>>556663965How to fight squads: Kill as many as you can in the first engagement, then run away. That's it, the end.
8/13 on snowball.. stop fucking spawning me in the mall, nikita, i need kaban...>>556664034this unironically. if you're determined to kill them all then predict where they'll extract after their hide their squadmates' shit and intercept them
Is there anything better than the sound of someones gun clattering on the floor after you hit a clean headshot?
>>556664034Well, I killed the duo, but got sandwiched in by the trio before I could loot my kills, refill my mags, heal myself or escape. I was just a cornered animal at that point. Managed to his one of their shiny Altyn's with my ap ammo, though.That's another thing, when you are fighting squads, you are always fighting people with the best possible gear on too. The ONLY upside in fighting squads is that they can't rely on sounds as much and most squads are pretty slow to coordinate, which is a nice thing everywhere but indoors, where I was at.
>>556664206The new sound they added for punching through a helmet.
>>556663965well that's dumb af, you should just squad up yourself if you wanna "win" so badly
I've hit sniper shots with the mp18 scope it out 3.5 moa isnt that bad
>first woods night raid I'm trying to cheese scav extract naked I find a priest but have no armor or weapons to kill him
>>556664830Even on my poorest of poor runs, I always bring a shitty pistol with decent rounds, just in case.
>I hear the man children taunting me oh woe is meGrow up buddy yikes
>>556664597Squadding up doesn't make me better at the game, though. It does not make me excel anymore personally, if there are people helping me out.
What should I try instead of woods for psycho sniper if I'm getting tired of the 20 minute rounds where nobody shows up
>>556668241ground zero
>>556668241Factory
>>556668517that shit took me 10 hours to just get a single SBIH task done, no way jose.spawns to RNG and there's no good spot to snipe at if you dont want to extract camp>>556669061I could start on it but im pretty shit honestly at CQC bolties
>>556668241Idk but here's how I finished out TS8 last wipe I played lmao. This guy was in a duo and had a kill with that same gun on GZ iirc.https://streamable.com/804av0
>>556668241>>556668517>>556669061>>556663405https://streamable.com/jrkiwhTS8 done, didnt die after either.>>556671178Can't even tell where that is. Shoreline?
lmfao what an idiot I was full of loot and some guy killed me BEFORE the train drop. Probably wanted to insurance fraud his butt buddy I killed. Most normal people know to wait for the loot to fall down and break it's legs before killing.
>>556671514>full of lootYeah that's a nice tushonka you got there buddy I'll miss your paca
Can you fire both barrels of double barrel shotgun at once? How do
>>556671486Customs, big red side
>>556672501yes, press B to switch alt fire
Would you surpass humanity and take tarkov drugs if you were living there?
>psycho sniper ended by some retard laying down at the very top left spawn on woodsfucking christ man, what possesses people to just lay down right when they spawn I thought I cleared it
>>556678038Presumably headshotting people like you
Do you think cheaters care enough to hunt thermals? it's only like what 500000 rubles? That has to be chump change to a cheater
>>556678236nah he missed a ton of shots and barely killed me with an arm shot he was just terribleprobably heard me because I was slightly overweight by switching to the AXMC which killed me ironic that I upgraded to a thing that killed me
Note to self :Shoot things you think are corpses on thermal as wellNot shooting something lying down cost me a kill and got me killed.
https://streamable.com/utxjieWhat are the odds both these timmy's were duoed? Both were lvl14 and 16 seems really close to be a coincidence but really odd to be positioned that way. Second one almost got me I actually wish he did but I need these psycho sniper kills
>>556681323Bro the entire first 30 seconds of this are so unnecessary. Definitely weren't together though. That's way too strange of positioning
>>556681694Wanted to show how he was moving but yeah i coulda sped it up my bad
I always die at 3/5 for psycho sniper. This will be the one. I will avoid choking!!!
born to run t6 forced to run pacas for quest
>>556683303Nah I did it again, missed a guy standing still looting. At least I didnt die but I had to immediately extract out of shame.
>page 10 doko...
Is it worth to craft a violet card if all the components were FiR? Or is it better to just sell the crafting components on the flea for raw rubles?
>>556696779FIR doesnt matter any more for flea if that's what youre implying

>>556697378wat
Feels like factory scaving is bugged or people leave as soon as youre loading in
>>556698860Pmcs don't like sticking around in factory because of the hoards of scumfuck pscavs that flood in.
>>556699234Not my experience at all scaving factory. There's always some faggot with a silent smg hanging around until like 5 mins left
Why the fuck did they get rid of the best last hero maps
>>556699798I've been trying to hunt them all night and havent even heard a suppressed gunshotMaybe I should try night factory scaving
>>556700763But Bay 5 is still there?
So, when you move something around your stash and it starts flashing, it's basically over and you have to restart or give up, right? Got a red flare and half-mask from my scav I'd like to move over but I don't think that's happening..
>>556709410Alt-F4'ing and moving a couple items over until it stops working and repeating worked. Coincidentally my next scav spawned with zero items on him.
I haven't seen a single M1A since they changed Test Drive.
>>556718443GOOD
This game's randomness is its greatest gift and biggest curse at the same time:>lots of tasks to do on Customs and spawn near dorms, so check two-story dorm's locked rooms and head for the portable trailer park cabin file objective>while inside, see a decked out PMC battling it out at construction>he flops dead, so just stay there and watch his corpse, so you can kill his killer>finally the killer comes in for the loot>but at the same fucking second someone random runs past the cabin, so I can't take the shot due to me having a semi-auto weapon with mid-tier ammo>wait for the other dude to cross by, so you can ambush him>someone comes from the opposite direction, but gets killed just beside the cabin>wait, wait, wait, until HIS killer comes in for the loot>just when I'm about to charge out, ONCE AGAIN ANOTHER THIRD PARTY PMC strolls in>the dude looting charges in for the cabin for some reason, we start blasting each other and he asks me "WHAT WERE YOU DOING UP THERE, MAN?!">"I'm just trying to do tasks, but kinda got stuck here, lol.">That random third party PMC starts blasting me, I take shots at him and he runs into the other PMC, who kills him>The other PMC tells me that he won't kill me, if I don't kill him, I agree and stroll out>He is the dude who killed the dude I originally saw, who I missed due to that random dude running past me while scoping in>we part out ways>I'm not at construction, hear a scav>about to kill the scav myself, when someone else headshots it with a silenced gun>wat>ANOTHER THIRD PARTY duo emerges trying to see the person who took the shot>I shoot them both>both have good loot, be absolutely loaded>on my way to exfil find another decked out unlooted PMC, who I also scavenge for expensive weapon partsJesus Christ, what. Yeah, Customs tends to be packed and full of action, but that was just ridiculous. Kudos to you, magnificent fellow, who let me out of that cabin without shooting me, lmao.
>>556718853>I'm not at construction, hear a scavI was in fact at construction and don't have any idea why I wrote that "not" there.
>>556700763Very bad decision. I miss emercom fiercely
>have a class 4 helmet on>have that edgy class 2 mask on>get shot in the fucking ear with 5.45 HP and dieNice.
>>556723041Deserved
>don't check one spot, because throughout my 3000 hours with the game no one has ever been there, even though previously I have always checked it>think to myself how ridiculous it would be, if someone now emerged from there>someone steps out of said spot and blasts me in the back with flechetteIt seems that this is one of those days when everything goes wrong in this game.
Is there a guide to optimise your first Prestige, as in what you should bring with the Item Transfer shit?One requires a sound advisors wisdom to rule his Wipe with grace
>>556725748i brought 14 bitcoin, 7 legas and 3 armbands, one being fir evasionbut you can also send legas/gp coins/roubles to arena through the ref transfer, and as long as you don't open arena before prestiging you'll get them there
>>556724718Pretty much the same thing happened next raid, Jesus Christ. This time I lobbed 3 nades into random spots to check for rats, heard nothing. Proceed onwards and got instantly facetapped by someone who had been sitting completely silent for like 20 minutes in his spot. Time to stop playing this game, since all my raids are complete fucking festering ass today.
>>556725748I usually take Samples stims, FIR Evasion armband, food for Jager is also not a bad idea, if I have space left I just fill it out with bitcoins and Legas
Only woods left for peacekeeping mission...now all the scavs will hide and it will take me 4 raids to get 12 kills
>>556723041>not wearing a ulachHe's right, deserved
>>556727109woods seems to have very little scavs nowadays
>>556726119>>556726778>fir evasionIs it really that hard to find? I've got one sitting in my stash, but I've never done kappa
>>556727258It's definitely annoying to find and absolutely worth a single slot in the prestige item transfer
>>556726717I barely even play on the weekends anymore.
>>556727207I'm gonna hit my usual scav route of v-ex village, scav village, bunker, then sawmill and see what happens. DROPPING IN
Alright!
>>556727204Give me a break, anon. I'm low level and I use what I can get my hands on. At least I had a bastion on that I had looted from my kill earlier.
>accidentally took a full stack of 5.45 BP ammo with me into a raid as backup ammo instead of PPOh for fuck sakes. My timmy ass is gonna get fucking annihiliated this raid, ain't it? I was saving BP for DMR purposes, not to be used with a shit ass AKS-74U. Well, at least I have a 60 round mag with me.
>>556728018You NEVER cheap out on ammo, anon.
>>556728101I ALWAYS cheap out on ammo, since I just end up dying without firing a shot. I only use BIS ammo, when sniping/DMRing.
>having fun on factory>game freezes and crashes>when I open the game back up I'm dead in my hideoutEpic. Very cool. Why do I even play this garbage.
>extract>stuck in a loading loop for the past 5 minutesnice game retards
>play scav>be productive for 20 min (clean/exercise)>repeatFeels good. No gear fear when I never lose my gear.
>>556729061Deserved.
>>556728018Bro even if you think you're a timmy, the other guy is right. Ammo will make or break you and you can't just take in some dogshit. A much better budget option is to just take a little bit and use it strategically. Try this:>your AKSU 60-rounder>top-load 20 rounds of BP in the mag>40 rounds PP on the bottom>30 rounds BP loose in your pocket>spare mag loaded with PPBasically you want to have good ammo loaded at the start of the raid because that's when you're likely to encounter players. The spare BP can top off that 60-rounder so you're always firing good shit out of that. If you run into scavs, just reload and swap to the other mag that has PP in it. Or even better, run a suppressed sidearm like the APB to deal with scavs. This saves a ton of your good ammo for when you really need it. It's a great way to save ammo while also having it ready for when you need it most.And don't talk shit on the AKS74u, that thing will surprise you.
Holy shit we got 12 scavs on woods in 2 raids, most excellent
>>556734106>go hunt scavs on Snoreline>literally 0 scavs anywhereMany such cases.
>>556727558
>>556734524Yep. I got my kills there by going to smuggler's camp first, then hit resort in the last half of the raid. It's a bit quieter by then.
>>556734875mistakes into miracles! :)
The FAL is still good but man I really hate arena's balance.
Never have I realized how great of a ratting tactic that just was:>don't get the closest spawn to 2-story dorm, but still decide to check it>check from the dead end side, all the doors are closed>aight, maybe nobody went there>go in, nothing>quick peek and bait with some flashlight and laser>nothing>go for the 3-story dorm side door first>"Open">the second the text appears I get shot in the head with .300 APIn all its simplicity, it just works. Next time I go there, I will most certainly keep my flashlight on and check the last room. But even then, since the peekers advantage is so huge, he would've probably still gotten my ass.
>>556738176>balanceWhat balance?
>>556738176>CQBM mask with secondary color that matches his jacket'sYou're a fashionable one!
>>556738340Exactly, lol. It's frustrating how little care they seem to have put into it.>>556738843If you're not stylish then what's even the point? The pants are green too
>go into WTP as BEAR>not a single rogue is therespooky
Okay! We're ready for spring maps, and EFT and Arena updates now!
>>556739423Would be cool if they changed seasons for the duckov collab.
I can't wait until they add the new RPD parts to arena.
>>556743610But you've already waited for months!
>>556743610Will it even matter, though? The gun still takes forever to ADS, and the recoil is low anyway.
