>bring an altyn>die to a retard with lapua ap 1:30 into raidI'm sure he was upset.
>>559812632Probably less irritating than being leg meta'd or something
Niggers fucked the new tasks...Did all arena tasks needed to complete ref in eft.Picked up the the new Professional fitness part 1.Went to arena and played a checkpoint match.Go back to eft, and it did not complete the task...fml.
>FFA>35 assists, while using M61The sheer fucking numbers on my scoreboard made me fucking furious, even though my KDR was > 1.0. Like how the FUCK do you even get 35 assists??? Constantly got killed by someone who I had hit like 5 times with M61. FUCK!Felt like the game was nothing but:>see target, start blasting>my target dies to someone else's bullets>switch to the guy who killed the guy who I was shooting>gets killed by another guy>switch to the third guy, he disappears behind a corner and dies to someone else's bulletsAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>559812632I'm with that other anon. I'd rather get lapua APd to the face than get leg metaed.Also: what the fuck is up with that unholy thermal + handle setup? Also why are you using that shit ass scope with the gun??? What is wrong with you, anon?
>>559813467He's cheesing Connections
>>559813572Huh? Wait. You can do it like that? WHAT?!
>>559814458You can do something similar with the TD tasks. You can use canted sights as long as the necessary sight is attached to the main rail. It's what's happening here. The piece of shit thermal is technically attached so whatever secondary optic you're using doesn't matter. Though in this case the carry handle thing is buggy and weird.
>>559814618That's pretty cool. I'm 100% sure it will get patched before I get to that task, tho. As usual.
>>559813314I sometimes have games where I just can't hit heads for some reason and end up with barely positive kd and 25 assists
managed to win one with a pistol, had to get some real shitters in the lobby though
>first lighthouse of the wipe>head ears'd 45 seconds into raid by tcw spLmao, it's good to be back
>>559816438I've run into you multiple times, anon. This game truly is a circlejerk.
>>559816696yeah it was even worse before they linked it with normal EFT, you would have just the same few people filling every game every day
i like seeing the same names daily
>night factory>someone chuckin' nades while i'm tryna postman pat>go up to the third floor to go to breach room>come round the corner just prefiring>kill someone, voip, and go to the room>plant my shit, might as well come out and get the dogtag>lvl 16 naked with an mp5I'm such a fucking asshole, I'm sorry

Oh boy time for GZ SBiH
>>559812632Hell no I'd be impressed and just say GG if I got headshot with AP
finally a comfy weekly after a month of impossible ones
>>559826423>52 damage 110 absorbed by armor 7.62 bpGuess I should've farmed more level 6 at christmas
>>559826423The ONLY map I didnt enjoy SBIH on. Just pure ass cancer. I devolved into just sitting in random corners for point blank shots like this. https://streamable.com/hcq7s1
>>559827202for me it was probably the quickest map. I just farmed the dumbasses shooting from the tarbank offices or whoever was passing through.
>>559827620I only got a single kill there. You must have done it really early into the wipe because I did it a few weeks ago and nobody was moving.
>>559827702strange, I did it a few weeks ago as well and I had someone camp up there pretty much every raid. guess I got lucky.
>Sako suppressor is only -2 ergo now for some reasonToo bad this piece of shit will have overswing no matter what. Anyway I bet they made a typo and put in -2 ergo instead of -20.
>Watch anyone else playing>They get blasted>Red arm, slightly yellow chest>Me>Get shot at once by anything>Black arm, red chest, yellow legs, red stomach, heavy bleed 2Why do other people seem like fucking tanks regardless of what they are wearing whenever I watch them play?
>>559831445Skills influence chance of limb being blacked and catching bleeds.
Can the AI see through smokes? For example, if I'm pinned down by a boss, could I throw some in their sightlines and walk away as if he was not there?
>>559838376>Can the AI see through smokes? Wouldn't surprise me, considering AI blatantly cheats and is aware of your position at all times.
>>559838376I think AI tends to respect line of sight and things like bushes most of the time. So they probably are affected by smoke but it's unreliable especially since it's client side smoke
My handheld range finder no longer works... wtf? No numbers
wow, I sure do love doing this quest
i'm starting to think playing arena doesn't actually make you better at normal tarkov
>>559842505I have went from low 40% SR to Mid 60% just from not playing Arena and ignoring my scav, the best way to get better is just treat every kit like its your last and like you are winning a Championship every time you kill a noob
3 shitters all at once for TD3 a truly magnificent Marked Room Spawn, did not take a single one of the guns they got from the room>FeelsGoodMan
The BD at the MS building are nading me like mujahideens throwing rocks at an unfaithful whore
>>559840713Yea they broke it the last update.
>nothing but the sweatiest fucking losers on customs tonight
>>559845397That is a good thing retard, you can easily predict their movements.They will chase shots, sounds etc. Just b8 them in.
>>559845967>just bait in the duo who knows your position and is alternating throwing nades at you while pushing and peaking inside dormsNot quite how that works bud
>>559846389Works for me
>get lazy and load only m80 instead of loading m61 into the chamber of my m700>it bounces/is absorbed by his helmetREEEEEEE
>open a pc block in an unlocked dorms room on scav run>it has a GPU and RAMokay
>>559846951I have had M80A1 Bounce twice on the same guy>MFW
>>559847117I bounced a 54r BT off a penis helmet early wipe.
>want to replace my ghillie suit facemask>it's over 100k nowwhat the fuck? I bought them and they were like 10k a piece now they're prohibitively expensive what on earth
Genuinely where the fuck do these nights woods players go? They barely ever go sawmill I need a new idea
>lost millions of rubles in kits tonight>no task progress>no lootJust one of those nights.
>>559852518>>no task progressHow the fuck does this happen?
>>559854362Ran into giga sweats every raid. Even when I killed some of them I fucking died to some other cocksucker third partying me.
>>559855181>I fucking died to some other cocksucker third partying me.Why are you taking so long to loot them and be ready?
>>559855828>implyingI barely had time to breathe every time. It was fucking constant. I prefer it to dead raids full of rats but I just couldn't catch a break.
>>559856653Sounding like skill issue desu
>>559856716That's probably because you're retarded.
>>559857596You can take out some of them but can't take out another? Not adding up.
Cool, fucking goons on customs right now
>>559812534the game could smell your weakness
>>559852383If you're doing connections up north you could try interchange/night interchange and go to the second floor.
>>559859889When it had the guaranteed boss spawn I killed them like 6 times over the course of a few raids in the strangest spots imaginable.
All these newgen players forgetting about all the old rat spots
>>559863642Interchange could be good but I have the shittiest luck getting into and surviving within the mall.
>>559866145Learn which spawns are good enough to just run straight in and which ones you need to take a safer route like through the basement and you'll be set.
>>559859889>hiding in the new boiler room looking through the big open windows on the rafters>big pipe says "there he is" and sprints up the stairs to light me upwas funny but I didnt know they literally hunted you down cause no way that's a real pathing through the building
>>559866241I've rushed into that building off spawn and big pipe was already inside by the ramp and bird eye was on top the floor with the rafters. I've also seen knight in power building and big pipe in old gas. Shit's wild.
I finally made it
>>559866217I havent even marked the oil tankers for that map I've barely played it
my friend always gets an error when launching a scav run, sometime like "requested value BotPmc was not found" and he has to load a second time to join, anyone knows a fix?
>>559870957My friend gets a different error but it also forces him to reconnect and load in to scav raids late. No idea on a fix, we just stopped scavving together because it always happens.
>>559870957>anyone knows a fix?Don't play scav
There's an angle on shturmans stash from the top of the rock spot on the beach.

I really really really enjoy looking for the v3 flash and definitely don't despise every second of this hellish fucking quest.
>>559882436It's not that bad now that the Rogues are braindead retards.
>>559882436Just sj6
>>559867501Go outside holy fuck
>>559884764I started a month late.
>>559884764I think anon has seen decent amounts of sun. I've seen far, far worse.
best items for converting gp coins to roubles? labs cards?
What's the fucking point of bolt actions when any faggot can use a full auto gun at 300m just fine?
>been missing bakeezy from library for ages>fucking finally find it from a pink suitcase in pinewood, go immediately to flare and extract straight out>check the system message for a code I activated 20 minutes ago>it has a bakeezy as welljejcode: SPECIALDEAL
>>559886495Because nothing beats the satisfaction of landing a headshot with a bolt action.
>>559886829I'm just pissed off because I got countersniped by a faggot that never let go of a movement key.
>>559886501Neat, I was missing a Fireklean for the weapon rack.
>>559886501huh, if everyone is getting this, then why are tech manuals so insanely expensive?
Sweet, time to flip mjonjrs on the flea even though they barely sell above the fee.
>>559888281It's like what high tier guns can or can not be listed on the flea is arbitrary, and trader flipping is stupid
>>559890418I pretty much only make money flipping barters and quest-locked shit on the flea these days.
Marked bedroom key on lightkeeper island had a single fucking valuable item and that was it. What a piece of shit.
>>559894015It's not good
>>559894015Wow, that was fucking awful. I remember the lightkeeper island being much, much better than this. I can't see having to play the worst fucking map in the game and getting a decent spawn or waiting 10 minutes for people to fuck off for this as being worth it at all.
>>559895628Let's be real, by the time you unlock Lightkeeper you probably don't even need to farm roubles anymore
>>559895837I definitely don't, I was just hoping for something to motivate me to hit it a few more times. Maybe more ammo spawns or something that can't be easily bought on the flea or from traders.
>get insurance back from last night's customs disasters>get back maybe 100k rubles worth of shitI would've preferred getting nothing back.
>>559896912Ungrateful prick.
>>559897205>be grateful you got back a rig, bag, and headphones you had sitting in your stash for a month back after losing 5+ million rubles worth of gear otherwiseI would've been grateful to your mother for swallowing you.
first time I see Kollontayhadn't seen or heard much with 10 minutes on the clock, so figured might as well kill him and clear the mall myself
>>559895628that looks like an unlucky streets run. eeesh
>>559897968His guards can have altyns so it's always worth checking before leaving.
>>559898435yeah, will do.I had one of the guards aggro to me to that very spot much earlier in the raid, but as it got darker the aggro range seemed to get smaller
On to the next bullshit task, any tips or ideas are appreciated.
>>559901115>any tips or ideasVSS with a PSO scope on Woods as God intended.
>>559901325I never see any pmcs on woods unless I am sniping, and even then I only see 1-2 if any. Definitely can't snipe with the shit velocity and drop, not even mentioning the zeroing being fucked for the decent rounds.
>>559901456I suppose you could camp on top of the building where you place wifi cameras for Ref and try to take shots at people inside fortress or something, should be over 50 meters I think.
>>559901694I sat in there while doing connections up north and saw almost no one. The whole fortress area is completely dead.
>>559901771Have you tried it at night? Heard it's pretty popular to farm cultists there for the main quest.
>>559901879I have camped it at night and I have camped green flare at night for ~40 raids. Still almost no one because everyone realized that cultists don't fucking spawn.
Test drive 2 forcing everyone doing it to play like the most ratty fucking niggers in the universe is really getting on my nerves when I have to go to one of the maps for it.
Just hit three v-ex's for informant before realizing they have to be "survive and extract" and not run throughs.
when will the next wipe begin?
>>559913843Retard-kun...
Has the FAS-ridden orcs fixed the game yet or are they still insisting on making it worse with every update?
really enjoying this buildingthink I killed his duo 10 minutes earlier to the right of MVD arch from the restaurant with my mp5. probably wanted to avenge him>3/5 psycho snipermaybe I'll carry a real secondary for the upcoming raid(s) and try to get it done
>>559917846It's by far my favorite sniping spot on streets. I've pulled some of the fattest hauls in all my playtime from people killing kollontay or green flaring out.
KILL ME
>get an arena daily that requires me to get the fourth place or better in CPT>normally this is literal child's play>three games in a row I'm playing with such fucking machines that only in one of them I was able to place into the best four>all my teammates had like 5 kdr, everyone had like +10 captures and we just crushed the enemy teamI just need some fucking even matches. Normally I have no problems getting MVPs in CPT, but of course NOW I'm playing with literal professional players. FUCK. This game turns even a win into a fucking punishment.
i wish customs and interchange were separated between under 21 lvl like ground zerokind of annoying spraying a full mag of 7.62x39 into a player and he just turns around and kills you in like 4 shots, i'd get it if it was headshots but it's always thorax when i die to these players, the ammo pen stuff is retarded because low levels just dont have access to it (aside from looting i guess)
>>559921202Pretty much everyone running actual kits are running 5.45 bp farmed on reserve. Go scav a few times and come back with a few hundred rounds of 40+ pen rounds for any shitty old ak and you can fight on better terms.
>>559921462ill give that a try then ty
>>559921462This. Good ammo is ridiculously easy to find. I'm level 40 and I have access to thousands of rounds of BIS ammo just because I've hoarded a shit ton of them through looting alone.
>Switch from EFT to Arena>No problems>Switch from Arena to EFT>Have to terminate the BSG launcher process like 5 times, before it manages to launch the fucking gameI'm always seeing a small window mentioning the anti-cheat launch and it failing. But why the fuck does it work perfectly fine, when I switch from EFT to Arena? Any fix to this bullshit?
>>559918096thought going to there nighttime with t6 plates try to get my psycho shitter done would be a good idea, but instead I got randomly pushed and insta headshotted by some 500hr likely cheaterI'm getting cocky, should've just gone to customs to find timmies
>>559875996Where is his stash? I've got two keys, anything good in it?
>>559923039It's complete dogshit and you are better off just selling the key for 90k. Hold onto one fir for a quest later.
>>559923356Sounds like a plan.
>have a shit ton of work to do, since my doctoral thesis defence is happening soon>just want to play EFT and be a neetCan't wait for it all to be over, so I can just go full hermit and play vidya.
>checkpoint>teammate abandons the match less than 5 minutes into the game because he realizes our team consists of retarded bots>despite leaving early he's still 3rd on the scoreboard at the end of the match with 9 kills>one of the teammates has 0 kills>I'm top fragging and the only one with a positve KD despite running Enforcer with Magnum MP-153It's actually mindboggling how bad some people are at this game.
>>559925601We're rooting for ya
>>559928174Thanks, anon.
>>559928079I like that you can check peoples profiles from the match history now.
>hey uh we improved search times comrade))>every raid since the update has been suspiciously quietFascinating coincidence.
Two raids in a row I've been shot by lapua AP on woods night. I think this wipe is fucking over bros. I am running shit kits but people are bringing sword mjollnirs with ap like what the fug. Connections up norf is too hard nyow
>>559901115I found customs to be the easiest since they fixed the transit exploit. Just wait for them to cross any of the bridges.https://streamable.com/d16kkpYou can also camp here but if you fuck up it could be over. Bring enough ammo.https://streamable.com/livkkn
>get shot at from gods knows where by suppressed full auto on woods>recover and then sprint into the path of the btr to get ran over so he doesnt get the kill
>>559943529based
>>559943597Just realized it was probably partisan that shot me so I spite killed myself against AI
do bosses/rogues go after geared players more?i finally managed to kill a geared player on customs, took his weapons and armor and then when im running across the bridge i start getting sprayed at, i run across the bridge, crawl under the train and hide in a hole and then i hear two sets of footsteps running after me, turns out it's the rogues, i kill two of them but die to the thirdcompletely different to fighting tagilla on interchange, once i killed him and he barely moved, then after that i snuck into his hideout, he aggroed but left me alone while i looted and then only started chasing me after spotting me another 3 times
>>559951732You mean the goons? And yes, they will chase the closes player the agro on
>>559952269>You mean the goons?i guess, read it as rogues earlier on the wiki, just realized that's a faction
>>559952590cropped it wrong
>>559928079>>despite leaving early he's still 3rd on the scoreboard at the end of the match with 9 killsit's funny how things like this just keep happening. I remember being pretty bad at arena when I was starting out myself, but it never was even close to being THAT bad
https://streamable.com/4f1grmJust had one of the most insane raids of my life wow. Too bad two of these were too close to count for connections up north
>>559955392Holy cringe task.
I hate the audio changes. Makes the raids seem dead because of it. I want old perception back
>>559958374I find the raids way better now due to not having a huge advantage from better headsets + perception stacking making you always hear shitters first. Dont doubt you die because of it now though. I like the GSSH combo with ushankas and other headgear so it would be ass with such a malus of not hearing people
THIRD FUCKING TIME TODAY I DIE TO SOME FAGGOT WITH LAPUA APWHERE DO YOU EVEN GET THE AP AT?
>>559961927Maybe stop playing the way you are? How the fuck do you manage to get killed by such shit guns?
>>559955392beautifully played. poetry even. Especially with the completion of grenadier as a cheery on top.
>>559961927I got a ton of AP from just checking the zombie area guard room on Labs
>>559963191Don't you have something better to do than make inane shitposts you fucking retard?
>>559963968Post the clip of you getting killed.
>>559964132That wasn't even my post. I just think you're a faggot.
>>559964132That wasnt me so he cant. I was definitely playing like a retard in a bad spot but at the same time the amount of AP lapua players is absurd. I've died one time to AP before today and this time it's 3.
>>559964216Don't care, I knew it was skill issue.>>559964267Why the hell wouldn't people use it? It's late wipe already
>>559964778You didn't know shit, you're just insistent on being a cock hole and making inane and rude posts for no other reason than to spread your misery. Try not being a cunt for a bit, huh?
>>559961927>just die>have to go to lightkeeper>quickly throw on some insurance crap>realized i forgot DSP at bridge>get shot running to southern from mountain>turn and shoot>get shot again>kill him with last bullet>stomach blacked, red everywhere else>he had Sako with AP (6/8 in mag)>oh shit what armor was I wearing?>no armor cause i was extra dumb this >start screaming picrel at a dead body for a minute straightsomething is wrong with that round.
>>559965225But I was right, don't care how it makes you feel. It's a skill issue based on how he came to blog about it here. The way it keeps happening for 3 days.
>>559965407nta post clip of you playing. lets see how it's done.
>>559810362this keeps going down for some reason, no matter if i stay until the very end of the raidlol
>>559965382Mfers keep hitting stomachs because they're retarded
man I fucking suck in cqb
>>559967398why?
>>559967398case in pointhttps://streamable.com/3gbhsv>no sounds have been made in tagillas hideout>clearing corners anyway>see a guy>think that I duck behind cover in time>must have been shot in the head through the wall or I just don't understand how perspectives workand of course that's the corner that I decide to turn my flashlight off on kek. usually I have a solid week where everything is just pure shit then I go back to being ok again.
>>559968369hesitation is what got you there, next thing is game knowledge. You can shoot through those boxes. You can shoot through lots of things.
>>559968369You should be ready to shoot at the drop of a pin, I cannot fathom how your Survival Rate must be if your Reflexes are this slow
>>559970226it's actually pretty stable above 50%, in that case I saw him and def had time to react I just thought I did a safe info peak and was ok to just hold off on spraying. I don't like spraying with the val because of the low mag size and and high fire rate, I always run out of ammo faster than I think. guess I should have just gone for the pen kill though
>watch tarkov video>check comments>it's 80% fags whining about the game and telling everyone that they quit while making surface level complaintsThese people are tiresome. I'm honestly sick of how the internet is used almost exclusively to shit on everything and complain nowadays.From everywhere from 4chan, to reddit, kiwifarms, youtube, etc. It's just a bunch of faggots crying about EVERYTHING. Nobody enjoys anything anymore and it's impossible to avoid the constant negativity if you want to use any social media of any kind.
BIG
>ks-23 some guys legs off at dorm v-ex while waiting for raid timer to tick down so it's not a run through>continue waiting prone in bushes and trees>a few minutes later a guy knows exactly where I am and starts spraying>I run back into even more dense bushes>perfectly tracks and headshots me through all of it Ah sweet. This is only like the 30th time I've died doing this horrible task because v-ex never fucking spawns.
>>559972631yeah I specifically avoid any tarkov stuff except for here ironically 4chan is more positive about the game than anywhere else cause the posting is more casual I guess. Streamers especially are the worst I cant stand any of them they all just bitch and moan
>>559968369protip never EVER start moving away from an angle or youre double fucking yourself via peeker advantage. if you strafed back into him after scouting you kill him almost certainly
>>559965893yeah it's been bugged since inception but they will neither fix nor remove it
I feel like every map needs better loot and especially bosses and their guards. There isn't any motivation to really go anywhere or do anything on any of the maps outside quests and one or two spots that spawn ammo/soemthing rare consistently. I want more people to be fighting over loot rather than just tasking, hitting a few duffels/filing cabinets, and then leaving.
>>559980812Which is why dynamic loot was a shit addition to the game.Shoreline, my favorite map which I had 10k+ hours in was destroyed by it.You need a centralized area of good loot to lure people in.
>>559980945I'm more upset by streets. A single building can have 10+ duffels, multiple sets of filing cabinets, half a dozen pc blocks, and some dead scav corpses. Meanwhile you go to fucking dorms and open a room to get one safe or a chance for 2-3 duffels.
>>559980945>i want every area on the map except one spot to be dogshit
>>559981110This is how you know you're a newgen player. Loot was fine beforeDuffels didn't move aroundCrates didn't move aroundGround stashed didn't move aroundOpening a room guaranteed you some loot
>>559981620>erm i want to run the same route over and over mindlessly>all good loot should always be in the same places at all times>what do u mean 90% of the map is pointless
>spend 20 minutes camping some guy in crackhouse>scavs start shooting at me right as he leaves>my m80a1 drops (230m) and hits his thorax instead of headFUCKKKKKKKK I HATE NEW CUSTOMS NOBODY IS ALLOWED TO MOVE DUE TO ALL THE NEW BUILDINGS
>>559982054YesYesBut it isn't
Just had a guy with esp perfectly hide from my sight and then try to bait me into making a sound so he could justify killing me before running.
>>559983757Schizo
>>559983921I know for a fucking fact this guy had esp because he took 15 minutes to cross this tiny fucking area that I was watching over after he killed two other pmcs down there. Fucker ran up right next to where I was, waited about 6 minutes for me to move or do something, then moved up to right next to the gate where I could easily jump up to shoot him or make noise to get a better angle, then clicked his scope, switched firemodes, and ran off hugging the edge of the fence so hard his gun clipped through it.
So you were on top of the bus? if so you could have easily killed him here.
>>559984496He hugged the wall and the fence the entire time, there wasn't any chance unless I wanted to give him the intel on where I was, and I specifically need 50m+ kills so I didn't want to do that.
>>559985110You already said he had walls, what fucking intel. This is why you don't go prone in this spot which is what you did.You don't need to jump or do any fancy shit. Just change your stance slowly and look down.Massive cope desu
>>559985324I didn't go prone. If I gave him a sound cue he would have an excuse to fucking laser me instead of just knowing where I was but also knowing that I've given no fucking intel to let him do that scott-free.
>>559985427So, lets sum up your raid.>You did not go prone on the bus>You have the advantage of surprising him when he passes under you>You watched this ((cheater)) kill TWO players>Somehow managed to kill them where you couldn't shoot him but where you could see that he clearly did that>Taunts you with his presence by hugging the wall instead of avoiding you and going around>You're frozen in fear about him (((finding))) out where you are>You let him get away with his loot and two players gear>Didn't chase him to kill him in junk bridge while you shoot from smugglers
>>559986023I didn't see that he killed them until I checked down below after. I know he killed them before that because I heard a gunfight, a long period of silence, another gunfight and nades. I was originally camping on top of the storage units by ruaf and moved when to the shoreline transit when I heard the first gunfight. I don't care at all for loot or even killing this stupid faggot outside of it being at 50m or more for the quest.
>>559986215>or even killing this stupid faggot outside of it being at 50m or more for the quest.It's the fact that you didn't chase him that I don't understand. You're lighter than him, he will have to catch his breath around 2-3 more times before extracting. You could have chased him and shot him while in junk bridge. He was also heading towards crossroads, just follow him and shoot him before he gets there. Its a straight line towards his extract.
>>559986724He wasn't going to crossroads.
>>559986786Okay, that makes it even worse letting him go.
>>559986889No it fucking doesn't. Dude disappears into the fucking woods near dorms and you think that's any easier? Am I supposed to run the entire map to beat him to the fucking zb extract and try and get a 50m angle on him?
>>559986937Yes you fucking retard. If car is triggered you follow the wall, get to the camp site and shoot his ass before he extracts. If car isn't triggered you should be waiting for him up ahead.How is this such a foreign tactic. Imagine doing a little bit of work for your kill.
>>559987847I have never done any work for my kills, I literally just wait in a building hoping someone walks by. I only recently started really chasing people around slightly to try to get more angles if they make a lot of noise.
>>559987918Good luck with letting people get away and all that.
I hope they put those in the battlepass to make mentally ill Killa farmers seethe and finally kill themselves.
>>559988456I appreciate your advice regardless of how assmad I still am.
Woah, so this is what having max skills is like
I'm only slightly concerned about the reshala guards staring at me up here.
Just got 4 goals and means kills in one raid and I would've gotten 5 if I knew the drop a bit better and had a bit more ammo.
>>5599898135000 fixed bugs.
I just want an AI update that makes them move more human like, or at the very least get rid of them being able to move in ways that are straight up impossible for a player.
>>560000170They already lean peak around corners, go prone, and wiggle back if you wiggle at them. The ai isn't that big a deal as long as they make them a bit harder like they used to.
>>560001517No I mean being able to phase through doors and running in unnatural ways, that sort of stuff.
>>560001605I'd rather they fix a million other things before they touch the ai.
>>560001845i'd "rather" they fix everything lol
>>560000170>>560001605Don't even get me started on bosses insta reloading.
>>560002685
Should they add it?>SVD with better ergo and accessory support.
>>560004254An actual svd with the wood needs to come first.
>>560004404Sorry anon.How about another AK?This one can be chambered in... Uhhh... How about .45?And there's going to be three variants of it, all within 5 ergo and 10 recoil of each other.
>>559989813>>559992813Wish I got retards like this in my raids. I run almost exclusively into retards named shit like "GingysSimp" who snort adderall and bring in 12 nades to throw inside of dorms.
>>560005907You do get people like this in your raids, they just die to someone 2 minutes in or hide the whole time.
I would love to see the statistics for how many new and lower hour players have actually unlocked lighthouse. I bet it's a pathetic amount.
>>559989813oh he's doing that new exploit, isn't he? I haven't seen it live yet myself
Streets shooter doneafter that I went to chill to the restaurant for a while, and when I came back the 302 door was closed. I naturally investigated and there was a guy hiding in the corner by the bed. thank fuck I managed to down him with my mp5. he had looted abandoned factory and had a key case among other decent stuff.
>dude goes prone to scan area around airdrop I called>I zero to 150 and dump almost a whole mag>doesn't land anywhere near him>he checks the angle again>I zero to 50 and just use the scope dots>first fucking shotI hate the retarded default round zeroing bullshit so much.
>>560002981It never gets old
>doing psycho sniper in customs>prone on top of the shoreline transit bus>hear loud gun at big red>must be a timmy, immediately sprint to the big rock to camp the small and big bridge>15 minutes pass, spot timmy running along the railroad to the other side>start running after him, catch him right before the roadblock and thorax him with M993>he keeps running, I keep chasing>hear a few shotgun shots>get to the bush near crackhouse and spot his corpse and a scav near ityou idiot.
>>560014670There's really nothing more frustrating then a perfect dumbass for a task kill getting killed by ai.
>>560012812impressive shot, I tried the quest when it was 100m+ and I could never hit any precise shots with val
>>560016061Now that I hit it I can assume that the tac30 is somewhere around ~.55 scope mils on the calculator. I just used it to kill a dude at the airdrop and it worked perfectly.
>>560014750at least I bumped into this dumbass duo the next raid. would be 5/5 now if not for the fucking timmy.
>>560012812Honestly man the shit is kinda like real guns in that unless you wanna whip out the calculator it's totally vibes based. You just do what feels right
>>560014750This happened to me on woods the other day. I'm sitting near RUAF and taking shots at this dude running towards sawmill. For whatever reason my shot goes high at like 200~ meters and he hides behind a rock for the next 10 minutes. Finally he runs towards sawmill while I whiff all my shots like a retard just so I can watch him get absolutely gang raped by Shturman's guards. Granted, watching his body slide down the hill from behind a rock was extremely funny.
>>560017302got 5th now. spawned at the power warehouse, went to the 2nd floor small window that outlooks the yard and sniped someone to the rocks above new gashiding inside the warehouse thinking if i should just run for flare now or wait until 5 minutes left
>>560018153Wait until 5 and check for someone in the bushes on old gas side near the flare spot.
>>560018274yeah I'm waiting, tons of shooting at fortress and the new warehouse.20 minutes left still as I got the kill within first two minutes.
of course there's a velociraptor guy doing his scav kills, he will probably stay at fortress farming scavs until 1 minute left
>>560019167As long as you didn't hit power, you should be fine.
>>560018153You fucking cursed me, I died in my own customs raid to someone at 2 minutes at green flare.
https://nitter.net/nikgeneburn/status/2031771479784755482New ADS animations. Thoughts?
>>560019597Pretty cool. Movement seems less robotic, more human
>>560019597I don't understand people who use nitter. It's not the Dorsey era anymore. It's okay to use the normal site.
>>560019841You can't even scroll through profiles without an account.
>>560019597Feels far more organic. Definitely a good change. It looks like overswing is far more tolerable this way, as well. Nikita is right about something for once.
>>560019597I better finish terminal before this gets added since I doubt the AI will have to contend with overswing on literally every gun.
>>560020506You can be sure of it since AI doesn't even have inertia yet.
>>560019206survivedfor fucks sake, when I was running through old gas the fortress guy just came to the backyard. killed him instantly, yoinked his bag that had the velociraptor I heard earlier and kept going. thought he had extract on the other side as I didn't hear any shooting whatsoever for the last few minutes and there were tons of scavs around and inside fortress, but I guess he was looting in a safer spot and left for zb-whatever with around 3 minutes left.
>>560020069It's also something twitch niggers, youtube """content""" creators, and 80iq mongrels are immediately crying about so I'm all for it. Definitely needs some refinement though
I think I'm for it if it reduces the amount of first bullet headshots.
The goons crossed to big red side at the start of the raid and are fucking some poor dude up lmao
>>560019597Good idea maybe, but visually looks like complete shit, I don't think "high" ergo weapons should jerk this much when aiming.
>>560021401EW!
>>560021401This is unironically a pretty good take.
>>560019597Looks great. Of course the Call of Duty streamer babbies are having a melt down again.I hope to god Nikita doesn't back down.
>>560025669He's not entirely wrong, but taking into account that that Nikita has said it's still under refinement I'll wait for a formal judgement once it's been officially introduced. Frankly I don't mind a slightly more "immersive" and organic feeling ADS animation rather than both "high" and "medium" ergo feeling like a straight snap to ADS like I'm playing some run of the mill shooter. If they smooth it out a little then I think it'll be nice. I know the opinions these "people" hold about inertia and the weight system so I don't hold most of their takes in any form of high regard.
I have yet to bring a single one of these into raid I doubt I ever will.
>>560027510it's actually usable with the earbuds, you should try it out. feels nice to not worry about getting head eyes'd by most things
>>560027510Why?
>>560021401>>560025669They can't even try it for themselves first?
>>560028581Of course not. The default reaction to just about everything online nowadays is instant negativity.
>LE SHIT = LE GOOD BECAUSE IT'S LE REALISTICIt looks like fucking garbage, doesn't improve the game in any way shape or form and nobody ever asked for it.
>>560029025You can't even try it for yourself first?
>>560029375Are you finally going to admit it's shit if I try it?
>>560029603Yeah, if I try it for myself first for a couple days of play and it's shit
>>560029025Worthless dumbass nigger with nothing of value to add to anything except "it's le shit fix le game niggita"
>>560030287Says the worthless dumbass nigger with nothing of value to add to anything except "its le realistic"
>>560028047I can't justify any kit I run being +200k for the helmet alone. I pretty much never run anything all that expensive so bringing an expensive helmet AND expensive earbuds that will 100% get stolen when I die doesn't seem very good to me.
>>560030456>erm no uConsider swallowing some glass
>>560027510they're useful for bolt action tasks like psycho sniper or tarkov shooter 8 but I prefer the tagilla mask for it. I just put on tagilla when I was at 3/5 then succeeded
I FUCKING LOVE DYING OFF SPAWN TWICE IN A ROW TO FUCKING DUOS AND TRIOS YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>560030489Sounds like typical gear fear to me. You'll get over it.
I've played like 300 woods raids this wipe and just died to landmines
what's the best way to kill people with melee? left click or right click?
>>560033908Depends on the melee, but usually left click is much easier to hit.
>>560033957the arena swordafaik left click and going for the head is the best way but people keep surviving that so is it different with this thing?
>>560034076Aim higher than you think you should.
>>560032717i died to lexos landmine today
>>560019597Looks good to me. They also need to fix the whole >IR lasers without night vision and flashlights work the same as using a visible laser.
>>560019597Streamers and Redditor having a melty over this is hilarious.
You know what? They should add a shoulder and lower weapon button like in arma. Having it shoulder should take a tiny bit of stamina.
>>560039723I've wanted them to add a safety position to the selector switch for a whiiiile>switch every gun of the people i kill to safety then toss in a bush
>>560039895>the endless whining from redditor dying because they forgot to switch off safety
>>560040273KEK immediately after making that post I bring a tricked out thermal scar and a beautiful clothes matched kit and die because I forgot to switch to full-auto. Had full drop, good positioning too. Couldn't help but laugh
>>560039895>find gun in a box>have to take the safety offToo much LVDO I'm afraid.
>>560039895Russian guns don't have safety.
>>560041251Just in case you are not joking or if someone don't know better.
I've been stuck on 24 kills for Insomnia for over a week now.
>>560041835Camp green flare on customs.
>>560041835>>560041887>complaining on /eftg/ helped as always
>>560041465I assure you that shit is rusted into position to ensure it never goes into safe.just don't pull the trigger, retard.
>>560042159It's one of THE most effective way to get a quest done. It just works.
>>560043376No I'm in raid on Lighthouse and sniped some guy.
>>560043620I mean complaining about it on /eftg/. When you bitch about a quest that you've been stuck on in a post, in that raid, or the next couple you'll get it done. I don't understand it, but it works.
>>560043987Oh, yeah. I've had that happen several times in the past. The game is blatantly rigged after all.
>>560033908long reach weapon like a sword LMB is what I use but I've never even really tried stab it does more damage might be better. I'm just used to the LMB hitbox.
>>560041887where do you camp and how do you get thereI either die trying to get into position or cant ever shoot them as they leave from an off angle cause I suck (bolt action)
>>560045045Not him but you can literally just fire the flare and prone in some grass between the flare zone and the extract on the train tracks.
>>560045045You camp right next to where you fire off the flare on the old gas side down next to a bush with a cache in it. You can shoot anyone coming from old gas, anyone that shoots off a flare fortress side, and you can peak up towards crackhouse, fortress, and a few other angles.
I do amazing on my first few tries on a task but after a few goes I start to get worse and worse even though I should be doing better.
>>560046461Yup. Gotta switch gears for a bit and come back to it sometimes
>>560046607But I feel like I'll lose the muscle memory of the gun I have to use and then there's no point.
>page 10
>>560054769over
Should I go for a couple more TD1 kills or start easing my way into Punisher 4/SBiH on other cock cramp maps?Keep in mind I WILL do TD1 by laying prone on dead man's/emercom beach for 30 minutes and I WILL fraud the SR-25 by chucking it in the water at the slightest hint that someone has sniffed me out
>>560071456why not TD1 on lighthouse for Pun 4
>>560072328Too hard to fraud the gun.
>>560072519
>>560072943I ain't tryna donate kits lmao. I'll bring some dogshit krinkovs full of BP if I'm gonna try to do it without doubling up with leg meta lmao.
THE fit

Add MCMRs you cowards
>>560075143>mxlryou didnt beat the game
>>560078479Curious, the kill counter seems to increase regardless
Night raids are so fucking miserable so many cheaters it's insane how few people you run into and if you do they just know where you are instantly. Radar users avoid you, esp users run you down
>>560080359Night raids seemed so much better like 3 years ago. Not sure if I'm crazy but it felt like people didn't have as easy access to the quadnods so you'd see a big variety of nvg setups. These days it's 100% quads which are basically daytime with even the slightest bit of gamma adjustment. Scopes still look a good deal darker though.
>>560080652I never really played night raids until the gamma abuse was allowed fuck night vision.I'm still mad about that piece of shit hacking cause he was such a pussy. This nigga sprinted right up to my killzone and stopped right before I could see him. Then I heard a gunshot behind me so I turned around (crouch walked so it didnt make the spin noise) for a second then that's when he entered the kill zone and shot me in the head in an instant. So fucking cringe he cant even have the balls to peek me when he sees exactly where my green skeleton is
Doesnt it seem like bushes are less dense now? I swear you used to be able to be nearly invisible as a bush wookie now you can basically see them no matter what
>>560082402Yes, because of early spring
Should I continue to HODL?
Cool so fog just makes the night vision scope useless cause apparently it just amplifies white not light
Where be the niggas, everyone hiding.
>>560019597>>560021401Makes me happy to see you fags like the changeI feel like I'm crazy whenever I look at discussion on leddit, twitter, youtube and it's just nonstop ytbois CRYING about whatever new change that BSG rolls out that inevitably ends up at worst, totally unnoticeable in the end, and most of the time, bretty gudIf streamers + redditors got their way about every change BSG has tried to make we would have:>no face hitboxes>no healing animations>instant repacking>everything being shovable in anus (including guns and mag boxes)>no inertia>no penalties for weight whatsoeverOn top of a gorillion different other things
>>560021401>>560019597>>560087967Problem is it just makes camping even more powerful. Pre aim or die
Why does this game attract the most repulsive, mentally ill people?
>>560093329You're literally one of them, we all are.
>td2 doneim fucking freegot double bitcoin from zmeisky 5 apt 20 right after that
Once again the goons push and kill whoever spawned big red side before I could kill him.
>>560087967>russian>AUG????Anyway, people dislike the new animations because they look like shit and add nothing ot the game, it's a good thing people are complaining about them, otherwise BSG would just go on and add them to the game in their current SHIT state.
I learned the drop for this shot and have gotten 3 stupid fucks looting it lmao
>>560087967Reading r*ddits reaction to this makes me salty as hell. I fucking hate these call of duty twitch zoomers.
Name one thing that's objectively good about the current new ADS animations.
>>560097386do you shoot the red flare yourself to get the airdrop there?
>>560098723Yes, every raid.
Jesus fucking christ.
>>560098979Running better mods would probably help.
>>560099521I stole it off some retard. Fucker is using an adar barrel.
I had a completely dead raid with barely any sounds from pmcs and then the clock hits 15 and I see 3 pscavs.
>>560100587I've had nothing but dead raids ever since they """improved""" matching times.
>>560100661Yup, definitely just shoving half the playercount into a lobby and calling it fixed.
>it's another episode of sub 1000 hours account just so happens to know exactly where you are
Apparently if someone dies from a bleed from a task gun it counts as a kill with it.
>>560102571newfag
Finally had a good raid and killed a duo. I am done now, fuck you tarkov
>>560102603I've never shot someone and then had them be retarded enough to not bring enough meds to stop a bleed.
>>560102657>>560102571Are you sure it was a bleed out? If they die to a nade they threw or leave the game I think it counts too
>>560102779100% a bleed, no gunshots other than mine and I only hit em once or twice at best. They were wearing either no armor or just a paca with the standard clothes.
>>560102845the mythical standard account alpha container nigga who is too greedy to bring meds that used to be me
>>560103130I wish I could've found where the second one ran off to.
>>560099571Well it does have better recoil than the default M4 barrel, it's just the MOA that sucks.
I activated the V-Exfil on Woods and was a second too late when going back to it lmao.
>>560104806You're lucky it was even up. Ever since they made it a chance rather than 100% I never see it.
I guess he must've simply heard me :^)Eat my shit.
Holy shit, my first one
>>560100587i once got my last psycho sniper kill by a guy dying to the bleeds
FUCKING WHEN?
2nd pscav
>>560108056They should add the PKP-SP too, since that one already comes with a railed dustcover.
holy fuck reserve is miserable3 raids in and 0 sbih kills, in fact 0 chances of getting any kills because the map is dead even with 100% boss spawnsnobody is even opening rb-vo
>>560109442Camp key doors or extracts I guess.
Just watched a pmc beam a pscav across the river and then put him down when he crossed.
>A 545 has been scanned for almost a year now>still not added to the game.Are they saving it for the DLC or is it some rights thing going on?
>>560100661>>560100704>faster queue times are simply lower player countsHas anyone done any research to confirm this? I just can't see how that would work out. A huge portion of the queue time before the update was loading the map/loot, and people with HDDs were insanely slow at it. So if even one person in your lobby had an HDD the queue time was fucked. Why do we not randomly get a long ass queue time anymore when one of those people ends up in your lobby? I agree raids have felt quieter but I can't figure out how times would shorten just because fewer people are in the lobby.
>>560110360I've been dm'ing the higher level players I kill and asking em if they think the raids are more dead now. It seems like you can still get plenty of full ones at decent hours but the dead hours are really dead now rather than just being slow to get in.
>>560108984>my quest may be killing PMCs, but I will NEVER refuse an opportunity to send a PScav back to stashExtremely based.
>>560110627I voiped at one of em while hiding in my spot asking if he wanted to coop extract and he ignored me. Asked again and I blasted him when he went to go loot a box.
>>560109735I wonder how it could be meaningfully different to the NL545. Less modularity, but the ability to accept 60rnd magazines? And a dovetail mount?
>>560111072Sold by Prapor instead of Skier, and can mount the Wafflemaker
>>560109485PKPTS could work with a good spawn>complaining on eft worked as wellsniped someone from under dome rocks to the white horse garage (the guy had been there for literally 15 minutes)after looting him I went on top of the roof and headshotted a tagilla helm guy with PS inside black horse, but it didn't pen enough to kill. decided to get to the ground and just push him, and hit the perfect zarya nade and killed him with my ak-12+1 sbih, +1 td3, +1 controller
>>560112108complaining on /eftg/*, wrote this while I was on the phone.
>>560110496Hmm maybe the game has some kind of detection where if servers don't fill at a desired rate then it will start the game early? They must have improved load times though because across the board map/loot looting is so much faster. They said they'd keep working on queue times and I hope they do. Arc Raiders really showed them how incredibly short matching times can benefit a game. Too bad arc is boring as shit.
>>560113127Arc's queue times are flawed though, you can latespawn and anyone competent can hit the best loot spots within the first 3-7 minutes and get everything good before you even get into the match. Any latespawns can also be easily camped by other players already waiting in high value loot spots or just camping.
>launch green flare on customs>it hits the fucking railing above>run to old gas and pray it's openWEW
I JUST WANT TO USE COOL GUNS I WANT TO BE DONE WITH THESE FUCKING TASKS
>>560116341I burned through all of my fmj while using it as a sidearm sniping. I hope I can one day have a good pile of it again.
>>560116413I could theoretically use it for that since I still have 4 maps to finish SBiH on but two of them are GZ and streets so I'm forced to run the MP5 for another 9 kills. The mp7 also feels weirdly expensive to run for a sidearm so I end up using the SR-2 more often.
>>560116524I get mp7's for ~40k on the flea and never run the suppressor.
>>560108056>more rail slop
>>560118476
>>560116820Yea I was counting the suppressor in the cost. The SR-2 ends up being a slightly cheaper overall with a comparable round if you want to suppress them
New event?
>>559988456Well that went a hell of a lot quicker than connections up north. Being able to use a full auto gun and any scope really helps.
what a lovely giftnot running up the stairs paid off
>>560121367Probably would've been worse if they hadn't lowered it to 50 meters. >>560121591I keep telling my friends to stop running on fucking metal and they won't do it. Sprinting is loud as shit and sprinting on wood and metal is ridiculously loud.
>>560121787I think only about 4 of my kills were less than 70 and maybe 6 including those 4 were less than 100.
>>560121787and on top of it being loud, people can immediately pinpoint your location if they know where the metal is
Apparently all bosses are 100% on reserve right now?
>>560122739yeah what the fuck
>>560122739Apparently.
>>560122821Are they all in the same area or are they spread around the map?
>>560087967>ytbois

>doing punisher part 2>all the boss are here and full of pmc hunting them
>>560123826>>560123837>no goons>no partisanCringe, I was considering going for snowball in PVE, but I guess whatever.Not gonna lie, it kinda sucks they got rid of that Lightkeeper quest that unlocked the Predator upper, I'd much rather do that in PVP.
Smugglers base has smugglers and plenty of pmcs again.
>recycled smugglers event>recycled weapon cases in airdrops event>recycled all bosses on reserve eventIt's so over...
>>560125052I don't care if anything is new or not, I just want the events to rotate around on a cycle like how arc raiders map conditions and events do.
>>560123826yeah killed Glukhar next to the heating pipealso a great time to get some SBIH kills now that people can't just afk inside those buildings
Man it's a shame they fuse magnifier with the eotech. They could have introduce more magnifier and have endless combo with different optics.
>>560126218It would be fine if that combo weren't eternally fucked with weird ranging issues.
>>560125859>Altyn-Towers>IdrisGzhelba.Heh.
Sniped a second pair of PVS-31s from Fence.Does anyone know if BD plate carriers or backpacks can also show up on Fence? I've only ever seen the NVGs.
>>560126938I've also only gotten the nvgs and I've stared at 6.0 fence for far too long.
>want to get to smugglers for the questline>shit spawn>shit spawn>shit spawnI hate this so much.
>glukhar didn't drop minesgonna take a while for me to waddle to paracord
>>560128612nevermind, I had obdo2+sj6
I gave the tpkd an honest shot and it fucking sucks. 800 m/s with 10 rounds is not good at all.
guess we doing SBIH on shoreline tonight
>>560129902Smugglers camp is retarded right now. I think there are 5 pmc corpses in it currently and someone still watching from afar.
>point blank M61sliterally how?????
>>560131565Armor damage is bugged. You must've not been hitting thorax.
>>560131709feels like 8 hits should have dealt more damage anyway
>>560131798You hit 4 shots and they went through his arms to add up to 8. The accuracy is .57.
>>560129902Reserve is also great, just sniped 3 guys from dome within 2 minutes. Would've been 4 if I wasn't so bad with the bullet drop.
>All da bossies spawning on Reserve.>Grab my SV-98.>Hang out on the dome.>See Kaban get popped near the sewer extract.>Sprint down there, grab his PKP and disappear the gutters.Neat.
>>560133297I need to scav reserve and get the pkp already.
I need to do capturing outposts on woods medcamp. Do I have to run in there and sit around the whole raid or do people actually loot the medbag in the back tent that can be sniped from the mountain?
>>560136129definitely go in and sit theregood time to do the no armour/only headset quests too
>>560136434>good time to do the no armour/only headset quests tooA shame, I've already done that one.
>>56013316054r is fairly similar ballistically to .308. A 50m yard zero is good out to 200m. After that, the default ammo for the SV-98 is LPS so your zero should be accurate while using it.
>>560136495at lvl 50 you unlock Swift One, 15 no armour kills in woods, unless you did that one as well
>give this piece of shit another shot>aim in the middle of a scavs head at about 10 meters>hits him in the chestFucking wack ass zeroing in this game irritates me to no end.
>>560137612>swift oneTotally forgot, I haven't done arena in ages since I didn't really care for xp past lvl 47 or so.
>>560136129First guy I killed there had a fucking maska, a duo rolled up and I died the 2nd. What a weird fucking occurrence.
>>560138212every raid you get kills is a success. iirc it took me like 13 raids of sitting there to get it done, and I killed every single player that came there.
>>560138594Anywhere in particular to sit? my first thought was behind the tent with the medbag spawn to be close to both entrances. I don't know if I can sit in a guard tower and not feel like I'm about to get domed at any moment.
>>560139040the guard tower in the middle of the camp was perfect for me, there's barely any angles people can see you from, and you can very easily just peek out and see pretty much the entire camp
>>560137649I'm tired of LVPO but yeah the magnifier is shit in tarkov.
>>560137649Isn't this thing still bugged?
>>560137649>at about 10 metersThat's just height over bore, retard.
>Just need some scav kills on Reserve>The boss spawn event starts, so I see nothing but PMCs and bossesJust killed a duo and when I was looting them in good cover, fucking Tagilla just walks in and annihilates me. Thanks.
>>560124459what are smugglers and where is their base
>>560144558>what are smugglersScavs with nato guns and other better gear>where is their baseShoreline, top right-ish area of the map by the car extract
>need scav kills on Reserve with a silenced weapon>have died 7 raids in a row without seeing a regular scav once>needed just 5000 xp to get to level 40, when I started playing>still need 3500 xp, since I can't get anything done before getting mauled by some sweat or a bossJesus Christ this is fucking horrible. I just needed to get that ONE level and ONE task, but now I'm just draining all my gear and money, since I can't survive a single raid long enough to reach some fucking AI scavs.
>>560145482pretty sure boss guards count as scavs
>>560145482>8th raid>finally make it to the bunkers first>switch power on>yippee, raiders>peek them>game stutters and gets absolutely fucking desynced up the ass>die to raiders 5.45 T to thorax, even though I had cl 5 armor onFuck THIS FUCKING GAME HOLY FUCK
of course there's an event on the one weekend I can't play onhow long do these usually last?
>>560146287BALL CRUSHING MACHINE IS CRUSHING BALLS SIR
Okay reserve is unplayable thought I'd try for some cheeky sniper kills but between the spawns and bosses raping me fuck it
>>560148660Lil bro can't compete. Neither can I
prices have risen for just about everything, good time to sell your hoarded shit
>>560146287Fucking FINALLY had a good raid:>loot around, find 7 sugars and random shit>run into a solo PMC's ambush, but he whiffs the kill and I manage to headtap him>he has decent good, nice>kill 12 scavs, 3 guards>get my tasks done>at the very end notice a PMC still looting around, what>shoot at him, he doesn't die>a little later see him hugging the fences just trying to get to an exfil>empty all my mags in his direction, finally a task gets completed, when he dives behind cover>it was Punisher part 2 that got completed>It was a pscav>go loot him>Has a really decked out PMC gear on him + Tagilla's stuff + other shit>a marked room key is in his pocket>LMAO>compress his shit into my attack bp and manage to exfil with 3 minutes leftNow THIS was a nice raid. No wonder the "PMC" I spotted just tried to make a run for it, since it was a pscav with a haul of a lifetime. He doesn't even know how unlucky he got.
>>560141898Height over my fucking dick. With a 50 yard zero you're usually looking at a few inches low, but it's absolutely raped in this game. For whatever reason with that optic in particular it shoots abysmally low below 50 meters. It's more exaggerated than any other optic.
>cultists are 66%Now might be a good time to do that one shitty main quest.
>>560153136That would require me unlocking labs
>>560153741You don't need Labs for that quest I'm pretty sure. At least not for the kill cultists objective.
>>560153845well do you get any rewards from the main story at all? I just dont see the point if I'm never going to bother with terminal
>>560153998You get roubles here and there, AXMC from Jager, and different loot depending on your ending, better endings actually give a ton of high end loot.
oh cool boss event> only below 300 hour gamingchairsnevermind
>>560154236Those purple boss achievements aren't gonna unlock themselves :^)
>>560154236100% boss spawn on one map events are RMT cheater central.
>>560150778I remember smoking a player scav with nearly 2 million in keys on him near the start of 1.0 on streets right near the cardinal extract. Smashing juiced pscavs gets me harder than killing the biggest gigachad sweats.
>>560154176Yeah but like I said I'm never playing terminal., Shoreline and the map itself are anti fun
>two raids in a row literally under 5 seconds late to extract camp a quick flare extractor FUCKIN SLAVES GET YOUR ASS BACK HERE
>>560154176>better endings actually give a ton of high end lootBut by the time you get it aren't you prestiging anyway? Whats the point in giving shit that doesn't carry to wipes
>>560157514Not always. I won't be even after I finish new beginnings. At least not for a while.
>>560157514You can always choose not to prestige. Or you can bring some of the rewards with you, I myself have brought a disassembled PKP from Savior rewards. Also later prestiges do get quite tedious because you need to farm Raiders and Rogues for New Beginning.
>take a proper kit>spawn at the tunnel 7 times in a row>take a shitty merlin kit to snipe whoever is looting the smuggler's base since I always get there late>get the best spawn>die to smugglersshit like this happens literally every time, I'm so tired
>>560158119>you need to farm Raiders and Rogues for New BeginningI've always found this tedious and retarded. It's nothing more than busywork
>>560158819Yeah I'm not a fan either, I hate shit like this, but I'm 4 prestiges deep, I can't give up like a bitch now.
Holy fuck
>>560161230What boss
>>560161637Cutlist priest. I'm eyeing up night factory.
>>560162053He's 66% on Woods, might wanna try there on some dead server, I did the quest that way and haven't ran into anyone else looking for him.
where the fuck is glukhar on reserve right now? found every other boss than him, please send help
It's kinda cool hearing loud m4's every raid or two.
>>560163356K buildings with Reshala from what I've heard.
>>560163356spawns by train
Why did someone bring this to woods?
>>560164285Because it's a good gun?
>>560164285Chink?
>>560164453He died to a retard wearing a tan ulach and then that retard went to loot medcamp with a bag full of gear before getting domed by me.>>560164471I can only hope.
>>560164285MCX is fine for woods. Not ideal by any means, but provided you're not trying to hit 300+ meter shots with it then it'll do fine.
>>560164651I just don't get running a decked out gun on a map where 99% of engagements are ambushes. You could die at any moment from someone sitting somewhere for no particular reason.
>>560164759Why run a decked out gun on any map with that mentality? Most engagements on any map are you being ambushed or ambushing someone else. It's not like rubles or kitted guns are hard to come by.
>>560164285>want to build a cool MCX>put PEQ-15 on top rail>want to put on a Monstrum 2x>PEQ-15 blocks sight picture>buy a riser for the optic>can't put it on the MCX for whatever reasonNIGITAAAAAAAA
>>560164759I always run woods like a terminator and it's my best and highest survival mapIf you play it smart it's a blast
I would do anything for a 5 round tube on the ks23.
>>560164285nigga I bring a klin to woods. your engagement range depends entirely on your planned route. there are routes on woods that are basically all bush stomping. nothing wrong with any intermediate cartridge at ranges of less than 100m.
>go take the paper for the event quest>get shot at by an SVD>turn back toward the resort and return literally 20-30 mins later when about 5-10 mins are left>hear a shot from an SVD behind me before I drop>9k hours prestige 3 with an endingI don't get how these niggas can be so autistic
>>560166979I camped smugglers until 3 mins left for fun.
>>560167029Kek yep that's gonna be me too soon, camping event locations is kino. It's like tarkov people-watching, you see some funny shit even if you don't kill everyone.
>>560146287>>game stutters and gets absolutely fucking desynced up the assuh, get a better cpu
>>560169364With all the bosses and nades going off sounds more like a BSG issue than a Shitty Rig
>>560169476idk dude, my 9850x3d just works
https://streamable.com/gefhgy>pmc, 2 bosses, and guards waxed with my KLIN all in one raidBoss event is certified GOLD, 13k exp not bad. Me and this guy heard each other from the other side of the building close to hole in wall. I sprinted down through the basement while he sprinted through the upper floors and tried to drop down on me like an IDIOT get hosed goober lotta good that mask did huh
Spent 30 minutes stalking some guy on night customs and then when he finally thought the coast was clear and was looting a body I shot him in the leg and ran away. He had 5 minutes to make it to an extract hope he brought meds KEK
>went from 0/5 to 5/5 on SBIH in a matter of hoursnot coming back to daytime shoreline until the last day of the event
This is one of those days where tarkov is just so fuckin fun
>>560169545>9850x3dLITERALLY THE BEST THING YOU COULD HAVE FOR TARKOV>JUST WORKSNo shit dude you may as well be running Local
Night woods has been good to me.
>>560146287Delete your cache and logs. Unironically completely fixed my issues. Can also pirate ccleaner (but dont delete your browser shit just do windows fixes)
Where should I camp people trying to farm cultists on abandoned village. Sawmill area is too obvious and high traffic so I die setting up there if not early.Problem with abandoned is that it's really long range so people can check it without exposing themselves so I dont know how to approach it. I cant let people farm cultists though, I will protect them.
>>560171489Pick a random shack.
Yea, this gun is kino. Cheap too, worth doing the quest.
>>560171793You can sell the grip for 22k and the mag for ~38k and then the gun itself for like 95k. You make so much profit every reset off the two you get it's unreal.
>>560171869I don't play the game like a tranny.
>>560171964I like money.
>>560171616why would they come to the shacks if they dont see any cultists? do the cultists spawn inside so they are forced to check or what
>>560172750They typically run by the shacks to check for cultists hoping they aggro on them.
>>560172893Alrighty. Just killed a level 10 using the tank NVG. Literally thought he was a scav patrolling but nope
>this is all I have to work with for the new questsFuck that not going to bother
>>560173992You can find the sealed crates around the maps, but you will need to get the weapon crates from drops.
>>560174046>You can find the sealed crates around the maps,My man, it's so far into the wipe that I don't bother to loot any area. I only loot kills. I am not going to go back to the humiliation ritual that is looting for niggitas enjoyment.
>>560174619I don't loot at all either, but if you want to do the event quest you gotta do something.
Beamed 300m by Kaban despite not aggroing him previouslyRESERVE SBIH HAS WENT TO SHIT SINCE THIS EVENT
>>560174889Humiliation ritual. Going to watch F1 and camp the locations instead. Fuck that.
How many licks to get to the center of killa's helmet?https://streamable.com/064h3r>one...>two...>*CRUNCH*>three! three licks!
you are telling me I can just get this from popping a single red flare at the end of the raid?
>>560166831I think just running AP-20 pumps is better than the KS in Arena. One taps to the chest consistently and you can run larger tubes. Very fun too, if you build one to have okay MoA it's basically a boltie that shoots faster. This is probably the most accurate one.
>>560175501So reds are buffed right now or what?
>>560175501I've been hearing non-stop flares on woods raids now.
>>560175760you get those weapon cases from them. you need a couple for the event task line, but it's still early so might as well open them
Oops.
>>560178148Smooth
>>560178148this made me flinch as someone who's 0.1 away from 6.00
>>560178445I'm only .05 off so it's not a big deal. You don't lose much until you hit 6.0, then you lose pretty much everything down to high 5's again.
https://streamable.com/9px02nI feel bad for this one but they kept teasing me like they were going to leave for like 15 mins. Usually I leave the raid much earlier. Almost fucked it up too
I had a good cultist hunt on woods.
>>560178732lol the reticle on that scope is just so fucking fat
>>560178148Spend all day waiting for a guy to push RR on Reserve, 1 tap him, start looting with 2 minutes remaining, He had a butt buddy the entire time that magdumps an MDR with Meta Rounds and a a TTV nameThis event has made Reserve so unbelievably stressful
>>560180180I've missed at least two kills because of how big it is. At long ranges it obscures their head and body so much. Then probably over 10 kills missed because the game just decides it will be too bright for no reason
>>560181080I only loot when there is no time left for someone to possibly get out and loot me.
Can I still gather minor evidence for Kerman after I've already turned in the big 8/completed associated story tasks? >I heard an option was bugged. Which one do I click? please help fren, big thanks
>>560182393>trusting 4chan with hundreds of hours of progressI seriously hope you guys don't do this
How long they keeping the reserve boss thing? This shit is sick
>>560171489I'd try friendship bridge or scav bunker
>>560182393>>560182515apparently you can go re-collect evidence even after. Selecting "I have to go" doesn't bug out or ruin progress. >31/32 pieces of evidence>I have to go back to Labrynth.
>>560179614Marked room prices probably gunna tank for a bit
Honestly using the NV scope is growing on me it's really funny
Just killed 3 scavs and partisan with my sword as I was trying to die to get out of raid quicker. PvE players are retarded for enjoying this AI
>>560189628I finished ts8 with a Gornostay and Vulcan two wipes ago
Two in every factory raid.You too should be speedrunning for them
>>560194256>visiting family so can't play until sundayREEEEEEE
>>560194256What do these even have in them?
>>560200971Event items to finish up the quests. Also every item in the game. Need to get my inv full before I open them up

>>560216696Oh yeah I forgot about that. I actually dont think I've ever even seen that boss either
Can you still get dead raids by queueing on servers like Colombia etc after the matching times update?
arena update???
based retards
>>560218309You're a best tester. Go beta test.
>>560219501Horrifying glimpse into the mind of a russian gamedev
>>560219501>>560219658>>560219832Waste of dev time unironically, considering there are zero reasons to play anything other than LH chop shop.
I hate these "get kills on a new map we're forcing you to play" tasks. I also genuinely can't tell if they're doing this on purpose with the "test" version of the map.
>>560220470The beauty of quests is that you don't have to do them if you don't want to. No one is forcing you to
>>560220470>it's actually inteded to look like thatlolnice hardcore realism
I always regress into a rat in this game, when playing solo. My brain just keeps telling me that by staying silent and avoiding conflict, I will maximize my SR and cash. Even after 3000 hours, of which 90% I've played solo, I play like this. Sure, I can put up a good fight, when there's no other way, but normally I just skedaddle, if possible. Normally I just pull juke moves forcing my enemies to take it slow, while I escape the situation. I only start playing aggressively in PvP, when I've got all my tasks done, gotten my Kappa etc (which I never do these days, since I can't neet my ass off with this game anymore).Any other professional rats like me?
>>560221479That's pretty much how I play as well
>>560221748Based ratbro.
>Can't get any SBIH kills>Spawn in as a scav with a M700 and a shit ass turbo long range scope>Get two PMC headshots in a single raidAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Where are the cultists I need cultists not squads AAAAA
>>560219919They wasted their dev time on terminal that nobody wants to play so a map in arena is definitely a good investment comparatively
>>560223097I'm fairly sure there are more people interested in escaping than there are people who willingly play Arena.
>>560219919Wah wah wah nigga holy fuck I am sick to fucking death of you loser faggots being such miserable little cunts. Get the fuck over yourself.
>>560223241Arena is shit, simple as.
>>560223308Source?
>>560223772Search times before Ref and bonuses in EFT.
>>560223845So, your opinion.
>>560224096More like general consensus, but whatever helps you cope.
>>560224167>general consensusUh, keep coping
>>560224258>n-no uEmbarassing, really.
>>560224357So, where was your source again?
>>560224427>>560224357Okay, anons, it's time to hug and make up.
>>560224521It would be fun to see how low the total playercount was, if they removed all the links to EFT. I, for one, play Arena just to get my hands on items cases and xp, money being an added bonus.
>>560224817No, I won. He brought up streaming fags as if I should care what they do
>>560225032There are no right or wrongs here, but you'll always be a winner in my eyes, anon.
I'm starting to think 33% spawn chance for cultists on night Factory is a lie.
>Go into a raid thinking I'll do some cool ass pvp and kill stuff>Spawn near the RB-BK>black keycard, green keycard, docs case, locked weapons case, 100 M80s, some M61s, COFDM that I need for a task, some good optics and a decked out SPEAR>Have to just hide, so I can get said things back with meGod, I hate this feeling. Finding good shit at the beginning is such a curse. Dying will feel absolutely awful, you get encumbered at the very start and the most logical step is to either hide or quickly sprint to the nearest exit. For me, there were a lot of guns going off at dome and while I was looting the marked room, the bunkers got lit up.Here I'm writing this, while hiding in a bathroom in-game, lol.
>>560224521 posting twitch stats as if any normal person watches twitchnormalfags love arena
>>560225754Transit bug was a godsend for raids like that, can just leave. Now it's back to ball crushing
>>560226364>implying twitch isn't normie central
>>560225491Thank fuck he actually spawned, saw his dumb hooded head clipping through a wall. One more to go and I'm free.
>>560221479I'm not necessarily a rat, but I just like to play smart and avoid dying. If I see someone enter a building and I get the chance to "rat" him out, I will do it every single time instead of making noise or pushing and putting myself at a risk for no reason. If I can't have an advantageous fight I often throw a rain of nades at my enemy, relocate quite far and try to get him from there. Often it just ends up with me avoiding the fight completely, and I'm perfectly fine with that.
>>560194256There's 3 spawns in the medical office and 3 spawns in the first floor office. I do the same at night factory to also hunt for cultists.
>>560201063They can go in junkboxes.
>>560225754You can just transit to woods and send the best loot off and extract pretty safely with green flare or wherever.
>>560229418>rb-bkI'm a retard, although the customs transit also works there you were definitely better of waiting like you did.
>>560175583Only problem is that thing looks extremely retarded.
Sealed weapon cases spawn in the marked bedroom on lightkeeper island. it's is a decent option for anyone that doesn't have a ton of red flares.
>>560221479Ayup. Solo as well.
Just got into the btr and I had no options, couldn't talk, couldn't open my inventory, couldn't hit escape. I had to dc and I hope I can get back in.
>>560240783I got back in and it let me leave the btr. I got out and it instantly teleported me to the sunken village.
>>560171793You can throw an end cap to actually suppress it again as well. I'm looking forward to getting it.
>>560242223My only gripe is that I have to do nothing but spam craft pab-9 because spp isn't all that good. Hopefully once I unlock sp-6 it'll be a bit less of a burden.
>>560242339Yea, crafting ammo sucks. I've been passively crafting pab-9 for a while so I have a stockpile. I'm not looking forward to doing the same for 55a1 when I get around to finishing the task for it.
>>560243736I still have yet to use an m4 much, I have a few thousand 55a1 crafted too. This event with the weapon cases is nuts for ssa ap, you can get a couple hundred per weapon case if you want to.
>>560244991I'm a fan of the MDR and AUG and both are shit without decent ammo to back them up so I'll need to craft a fuck ton at some point since the bare minimum for 5.56 past week 1 of wipe is m855a1
>>560245584The g36 got buffed and it's nearing meta m4 levels of recoil with the long barrel and 750 rpm, maybe give that a try.
>>560245707I've used it in arena a fair amount. I just find the parts needed to make it better ugly so I'm not it's biggest fan.
>go back to hunting the last priest after taking a break>first raid>spawn 3 minutes late for some reason>see dead cultist and hear a player nearby>don't give a fuck so just ask him straight up if he's killed the priest>says yeah>"ah shit, that I need one more for the main quest and I spawned late for some reason">asks if I have something for heavy bleeds>tell him I'll drop him a calok near the dead cultist>comes in, takes it and drops me two marked room keys from the priest as a thank you and for killing the priest>see he's got the prestige 5 face tattoo under his balaclavaSome poopsocks are alright.
I've done ~10 woods raids at 66% cultists checking both spawns and only saw them once. I've also done a similar amount of night factory raids and only saw one when I scav'd it.
>>560246318Do the priests actually spawn on factory?
>>560246364Yeah, I saw a dead priest on my scav run and they have a 50% chance to spawn guards too.
>>560246364Yeah >>560227573
>>560227573Do you go anywhere in particular to find them? I rush factory first floor office and then the medical room on floor 2 across from it for the locked cases currently.
>>560247540No, I just walk around and look for signs of them, I've seen the priest on top of the Postman Pat room, the lab, and on the second floor of the office in the showers.Also, is the priest scripted to fucking attempt nuking himself with a grenade when he's the last one alive? I've seen him do that multiple times in 1.0 and I don't remember that happening in the past. He almost did it again.
>>560247946Oh shit is that what that sound was? I heard it pretty early in raid and wondered what the fuck it was.
This gun is disgusting.
>>560248521Yea it's just a better VAL which is already one of the best guns in the game again now that it doesn't overheat after one magazine.
>>560248746I think I should run the suppressor cap even though I lose out on a ton recoil control. I need to be able to see in these close range fights.
>>560248872or better, learn to point fire
>>560248872It's still a laser beam even with the suppressor cap instead of the brake anyway.
>>560241002lucky you I had that happen on streets and fking died soon as I got back in. had looted the terragroup armory room too
>>560249256Everytime I point fire I get beamed first. I always shoot early and they pull back and then I lean into it and fire again and I'm dead.
>>560250331it just takes practicetry to force yourself to play as you normally would, but just not ADSing if the target is closer than like 15 or 20 meters. keeping the laser visible always instead of only turning it on before encountering players is helpful. especially with the new ADS changes coming, it will be very beneficial
>>560251664>keeping the laser visible always instead of only turning it on before encountering players is helpful.This is not good advice. Lasers are very visible things and doing this will absolutely get you spotted early
>>560250331I have the opposite problem, I always point fire reflexively and lose fights because of it
>>560251664As the other anon said, I'm not retarded enough to run a 24/7 laser.
>>560251896>>560252110only if you sit still and don't make any noise it can give your position awaywhen you're moving nobody will spot you because of the laserthought you weren't a rat because of the .webm you posted had you running, my apologies.
>>560252532I am a solo and I will 100% try to win a fight by staying still or creeping than rushing at someone like a fucking idiot and dying to his 3 buttbuddies that I didn't know existed. Anything else is foolish.
>>560252604I don't care, I just explained why I tried to give advice I would've given to someone who wants to get better and have an advantage in cqc
Best place to farm the keys off of smugglers?
>50 kills done on new arena map>won a match earlier>alt tab, go to class selectnot a fun map, theres three exits to each spawn which are across a massive open area, if the enemy pushes you back far enough you're pinched between 3 easily defendable positionswhen you kill the enemy, since they're pushed up far enough they spawn on B, taking away like 15 seconds of running they need to do to get back to the middle of the mapso you end up spawncamped even worse than on bowl where you have somewhat of a chance to slip through or fight back, here if you take one of the angle holders out you're pinched by the other two who have sight of the large open area you need to run throughill reroll any task i get for this map. not fun.
>>560253291just buy them off flea if you want to open these for the quest items
>>560252532>>560253168Your advice is of poor quality. If you can't manage the simple task of turning your tactical devices on and off as necessary then you have bigger problems than CQB.
>>560254425all players don't camp in a corner and have the luxury of only playing off of audio cues and sometimes have to react and shoot immediately, fucking retard.
>>560254253You have to find them from filtering by item in the workbench, I couldn't find them searching anywhere in the search menu for the flea.
>>560255010>if u think my advice is bad that means ur a rat >:(Just give it up you midwit nigger. Believe it or not, good players are capable of managing their tactical devices properly even in sudden situations.
Guys I think I'm getting the hang of this tarkov thing!https://streamable.com/1rx59t
>>560256154who are you quoting? you literally said your playstyle includes standing or sitting still staring at walls waiting for players to appear or make sounds. you most certainly are not a good player and shouldn't talk about them if you can't point fire, kill yourself.
>>560256779You're assuming you are talking to only one anon, retard.
>>560256908only dogshit retards are afraid of using lasers, so what's the difference? the same clearly applies to you.
>>560254118What task comes after?
>>560257265didnt see one after, i think its just the one
>>560257261>if you don't leave your laser on at all times you're afraid of using themYou're a complete fucking idiot. Im done with you.
>wear altyn + class 6>get necked once and die in 4 bullets from mp7 bluntSick.
*marks another victory to my notepad*
If you move around a lot and make plenty of sound cues then you might as well leave your laser on because people are going to know where you pretty much are anyway. Just depends on how you play.
There's apparently a quest I don't have done for Arena. Does anyone know the requirement, or is it just not there yet? I'm level 37 and haven't done any of the Ref quests on the EFT side.
>one tapped across the map by aimbot smuggler because he saw a milimeter of you over a rockdogshit NIGGER game
>>560259423Nevermind, it just updated now and became 15/15.
forgot a piece of paper in a dungeon...brb
>>560261676nvm.>keep wishing me luck though I need this achievement for some reason
>>560262676You'll get 'em next time, Robot_Craig.
the new map is fucking terrible
>>560266395Terminal?
>>560267181>4 months old>newno, the wip arena map
>>560267280What?
>>560267817>>560219658
>>560253291Just buy them, I made 20M off 30 of them
I want to start the new event questline but just staying at reserve for the boss event is so much more kino. Shoreline is probably fucked at the camp anyways right? I'd expect it to be camped by squads right off the bat.
>>560277436Same, I am trying to get Snowball Achievement while its this much easier, all I have to do is pray I don't get raped by one of the jank spawns>Currently 6/13
>>560278147Faaaaaaack I almost got out with all these guy's shit, they were juiced to the TEETH. But Killa had to be waiting in a dark corner of the underground
Def do better in this game with a beer in me
>>560281432same bro >t. on my third drink on a 7 raid survival streak hunting smugglers for contraband
>nobody goes outskirts>nobody goes flare>nobody takes car extract (it was up and I took it)Genuinely confused about where the players are on night woods
>>560281621Well I'm 3 raids in and haven't survived any, but I'm net positive on PMC kills so we're all good.
Faggot Pscav walks right up Barracks Staircase walks straight to my room and Starts Firing and RPDN all before I hear a single thing, Proflex earbuds are straight dogshit
>>560284083Oh well that fucking explains it all doesn't it, does not help I had to switch from DVL to SVDS but still typical chink
>>560282942good shit brother
https://streamable.com/tdm5ovkek this shit is too funny, and yes there was a guy in that window even though it's near impossible to see. Keep bringing full kits to these raids, losers!
>arena update>still no 1.0 guns and partsHURRY IT UP NIKITA I WANT TO USE THE FUCKING VSK
>>560285237that first guy's teammate sucks balls how he didnt instantly kill you is insane
>>560286358you'll notice he ran behind the marked room building, he just hesitated 1 second too long in doubling back to get an angle on me. He would have had to either vault through the windows on the other side of the building to look through from inside, or do a complete 180 and left peek that corner
New arena map is straight unfiltered dogshit
Three more for connections up norf. Tonight is the night my niggas!
>impacted earwax in right earWelp guess I can't play then
>>560288964check medbags in reserve and you can loot some ear plungers or the rubber water skoosher things
>>560288421Almost got ALL THREE in one night customs raid. I couldnt tell what was his backpack or head due to the shitty scope lol. There were goons AND cultists in one fucking raid at stronghold the chaos definitely helped me nab two sniper shots
>>560288964I play the D-2 Alarm Sound on repeat at least 2 hours a day so my ears are used to the Tinnitus and such things become childsplay
>>560288964I got very minor tinnitus from that be careful
Where the FUCK do I find contraband boxes I have scoured the smuggler camps on Snoreline and Interchange and can't find SHIT
>>560292396I already showed you here >>560194256>>560201063
FUCK I killed the cultist priest but his buddy popped out of a bush and got me right after I just want to loot them one time.
>about to get my final connections up north kill on a trio extracting customs flare>right as I am about to line up the headshot the flare comes back down and blinds the shit out of me>only hit their bodieskek
Woods is unironically bugged I swear there are literal dead raids. MAYBE one other player.
>>560298718Can I ask out of curiosity how long it's taken to do connections up north? It took me fucking forever even focusing exclusively on it every raid.
>>560300579At least 60 raids and I've been at it for a week. About the same amount of time it took to do all of shooter born I'd say. I am pretty good at sniping in weird spots though. I'd have gotten it done faster if I knew woods had literally no players on it, wasted so much time in dead raids but am getting it done on customs pretty fast now.https://streamable.com/55w096Killed a duo in this raid from the clip above, just ran all the way around the hill to shoot him in the back as he was camping his friends body lol.
I feel like unless there is a decent reward somewhere down the quest path that I'm not seeing, there is no point in going any further than this in the event.
>scav night factory just to recoup some lost rep>hear pmc immediately>voip at him and ask how it's going, if he saw cultists, etc>knife out and we start talking >random just says "I lie to people" and then kills me halfway through the conversationidgi
>>560301579I am simply not going to bother trying to get those casesI already have all the required contraband boxes but just thinking of getting these is a pain
>>560301804If you have lightkeeper island you can get 1-2 from the marked bedroom. Every raid flare is up to 4 so you just need to pick a quiet corner of woods or some other map and call one at the last 5 mins of raid.
>>560301847Yea, but doing them literally gives you nothing
>>560302141You can just farm them for the loot, tons of ssa ap in em.
>9 k/d NL GP camping the fucking factory window on first floor in officeI hate this fucking game. The first and only time I don't immediately look left when I vault it because I thought everyone in the lobby was dead.
>>560302325Yeah I always go out bathroom now the fags love to camp you while vaulting. They can hide in the opposite corner too which is probably better with the duffle bag and actual cover
>>560302537I don't even vault, I just sprint jump it and I've killed a guy there without any issues before. I'm just pissed that someone with a fucking NL is camping that instead of fighting the dude that was killing everyone in the lobby in office right next to him.
