I'm 50% through SBiH :)
>>562546976Nice, I'm at 75%, just wrapped up Streets today. Reserve and Woods left.
>>562546976>>562547756>tfw I'm level 44 and still at 0 SBIH killsNormally in the past I've gotten at least a couple here and there on the way, but not this time. I don't feel so good, bros.
>>562546976Nice work dude I just finished Chang last night, got Chinked on my last Psycho kill>>562547756Same just got Streets and Ground Zero which at least I can Marlin Tranny with the shorter ranges if I need to Rat hotspots instead of the natural sniping (which I have been doing so far)>>562548071Time to get the AXMC out and tap some fucking skulls Anon, 44 with nothing to show for it is Cringe and Timmypilled
>>562548674Soon I'll need to, yeah. So far the problem has been that so many tasks require you to use something else than bolt-actions, so I never run them. Been just postponing SBIH until I get all other tasks done, like I do in every wipe.
>>562548071
>>562550695Based stealthchad. I think mine was at 28 before I prestiged. Almost 19 now.
The factory squadgers fear the svd lone wolfhttps://streamable.com/ssk0vy
>>562549094>so many tasks require you to use something else than bolt-actionsYeah I only have Test 4 for that so I am running RPDN as secondary, truly the worst part of the game personally I have both sides of the Weapon Rack full of good guns and multiple Weapon Boxes full too>>562550695>>562550941Get creeping bros
killed tagilla and two pmc's wearing tagilla helm in factoryabsolutely teeming
>>562553034Night factory has made me get over gear fear because I literally have so many t6 plates and t5 helmets i cannot do anything in my stash I HAVE to use them cause I keep gaining more
>usually run off-meta shit>run scout because i have a daily for it>shit on the entire lobby>died less than 10 timesIf this upcoming update isn't a ground up balance rework then arena is a complete lost cause.
>>562553759I was wearing tagilla helm + lv6 front plate in my factory raids today until I died two raids in a row, once to a thorax, throat and then to a cheater back to normal helmet + lv5 plate
>>562553817>then arena is a complete lost cause.It always was, anon.
>>562555121Sorta. Arena has never been good but it used to at least be a decent way for lower skilled players to practice movement and gunplay as well as have a 0 cost way to fuck around with the gun building. Now it's no better than a failed abortion due to the absolutely fucking abhorrent lack of inertia and aim punch as well as the completely broken balance. It's utterly baffling as to why they didn't change the arena balance after 1.0 when the softcore shit was over with. The only people who like the current state of arena are the obscene niggers who listen to mumble rap and stream for their 1 follower on twitch types.
>>562553817>If this upcoming update isn't a ground up balance rework then arena is a complete lost causeDude, Arena is for playing until you get the Pass done then immediately forgetting it exists
>>562555121>>562555575>>562553817arena had extreme potential and still does but they tried to make it a lame cod clone instead of where tarkov excels : unorthodox engagements in mid-long range areas with occasional short range knife fights. There needed to be better objectives like escort the VIPs to the exit faster than the enemy team. There needed to be varied maps. Woods, tunnels, streets with apartments. Smoke grenades should be base kit. Night maps should exist with flashlights, thermals, night vision based on your class. They could do SO MUCH BETTER but just made pure fucking slop instead.
>>562555815>arena had extreme potentialStopped reading four words in, incredible
>>562556197What the fuck do you enjoy in tarkov if not the kino gun fights? The problem is arena is slop not that a more casual non autism looter version of it is bad. There could be stakes involved even like a roguelike type mode
I wanna thank the based anons who convinced me that the SVD was NOT cringe and in fact BASEDhttps://streamable.com/a3bihm
>>562556314>What the fuck do you enjoy in tarkov if not the kino gun fights?It's less so the gun fights its the edging anticipation for the 30 minutes leading up to the gunfight, I enjoy sniping more than CQBI like the idea of a Roguelike Mode for Arena though the problem is its just a boring side game compared to the intense feeling of normal EFT that without the major benefits why in the fuck would anyone pick it over another Arena FPS?
i haven't played much since launch did they ever reduce the goon retardation or is still just a random chance to get vaporized every time you load into a map
>>562559392They'll still rape you if you're caught in the open, yea.
>>562559563i mean do they still spawn in spots where you can aggro them the moment you spawn in
>>562559802I haven't had it happen to me even spawning near weather when they're there, so it may have been mitigated.
>>562559802Happened to me on Woods. Spawned near scav bunker. I got the cheevo for killing em all though, one of them was shooting some garbage that couldn't pierce my rear monoclete lmao
>>562559802>spawn crackhouse>goons on other side of it instantly kill me>had an axmc>nobody looted it cause they died too
>scav shoreline while i watch youtube>goons at weather>not shooting at me>big pipe walks away from weather>shoot him in the head>before i can even press f on his body knight 1 taps mecan't even be mad, knight wasn't fucking around
My last 10 deaths have been to players with at least 8,000 hours. The highest was over 17,000 hours. This game is fucked.
>>562566262Dont play labs or streets or customs at night if you want to encounter non demons
>>562277607>>562277690>>562277861>>562278541Alright here's a better version I just did! Hilarious.https://streamable.com/pek5b8
I am stream sniping tekavor consistently just gotta catch him on night streets, he goes terragroup armory mvd then flares out if he spawns north
Can we go back to ammo up the ass? I don't even give a fuck about the potential ammo I'll get from other players because I lose far more of my ammo to deaths than whatever shit ammo I'm getting from my kills.
>>562574257no it's way better now
>>562574934Maybe if you're some mongoloid retard who can only run the shittiest ammo possible so any ammo you get is a net positive, but most of the people I'm killing are running worse ammo than what I've got or comparable ammo and as a whole I'm losing more than I'm gaining. It's barely even worth carrying more than half a stack of spare ammo anymore.
>>562575497Yeah that's why it's a good thing, you cant just have your backup ammo in your ass it's a trade off to take a ton of ammo or risk losing a fight cause you ran out
>>562573180>tagilla kills him for me and I get to collect the gear for FREEkek
>>562575819In theory, yes, but in practice I can think of only a handful of times since 1.0 started where I've truly risked running out of ammo even after cutting down the spare ammo I'm bringing into raid. In practice I think most people are just losing vast amounts of ammo for nothing. Even killing sweats I'm not getting enough ammo at the end of the day to to offset the ammo I'm losing from the usual tarkov deaths where I die before firing a single shot. In theory as well people will be running less of the best ammo they have, but sweats have no souls and do that shit anyway. I still die to nothing but m61, 995, BS, BP, M80a1 etc. and nothing else. I really don't think the game is any better off for the change.
>>562550695>>562551432I want to get it to max but I don't think there's much of a point if I have to grind it.
>>562576527I see so many more people toploading ammo and having only 1-2 good mags. Before people just had their good ammo to continue replenishing their "good mag" and would literally never run out. I think it's a very good change. And you're kind of having a dier-ship bias because yeah of course youre only dying to the good ammo, you live when they dont have it!!!
>>562577618I had considered that, but that also implies the issue of there being people who AREN'T running top tier ammo, which at this point is a very small portion of the players. Everyone is running the best ammo in the game because BSG are retarded fucking niggers and hand out 50+ pen ammo like candy. They may as well save me the fucking trouble of opening my game every 4 hours so I have more than 3 mags worth of ammo for the dogshit guns they force me to run for tasks.
>>562577989What I want is there to be a "good ammo" credit globally from traders/flea where you can only buy so much per week. That way you cant just buy good ammo of 556x39, 762 nato, and some good SMG rounds all at once and keep buying per reset. It would be way less autistic and force people to specialize in what ammo they want rather than hoarding it all.
>>562578648Then everyone would just pick the "best" one that you can buy and everyone would only run that forever.
>>562578712Then double the credit cost for the most chosen ammo type of the week so it discourages meta faggotry
>>562578774Oh sick. >alternates between the two consensus best picksAny solution you come up with is going to be flawed.
>>562578847Anything is better than what we have now thoughever. People on every day buying things off cooldown never run out of ammo really. At least the no ammo in butt makes them bring less in so it isn't guaranteed they'll be able to use it
>>562579345>thougheverYou keep using this word I see it very frequently in this general and I know its one person because the word does not exist man you aren't making it happen
>>562580816It's lowkirkuinely a good workd thoughbeit
Neat.
>the pro headphones are 300,000 rubles
>>562582628If you do the quest they become free. You buy em for like 700 euro and sell them on flea for 1111 euro or whatever.
>>562582819>doing quests no wonder people would rather pay 300k fuck that
Ok not only can cultists spawn on night factory with scavs they can be part of the late spawn scav waves too even if not there are round start so wait like 5 mins before resetting
>>562557537Never gonna stop telling people that the loud svd FUCKS and it FUCKS HARD
https://streamable.com/e4wdadI caught people doing the blicky thing to lower fort armor or something got 2/3 lmfao
>die to a guy crouched against a garbage pile in a random fucking streetI hate streets so fucking much. How the hell am I supposed to find anyone to fight when every fight is a one-sided ambush? If I run towards gunshots there are 40 people already lying in wait nearby and if I camp a marked room or other valuable loot no one shows.
>>562590517you dont, they're all like level 60 toojust play a different map bro, or go night streets and camp some random place like MVD or terragroup armory, rusted key spawn where the tryhards WILL check
>>562590626I need 50 pmc kills and it has to be streets so I just have to figure out a way to get these kills more consistently because running around getting shot by people in buildings is tiring.
The default akms ironsight has a big white circle on it blocking the middle pin, i guess nobody uses iron sights for them to have this bug reported...
Does crawling not make noise any more? I crawled for a full 2 minutes underground and managed to actually sneak up on a level 42
>>562593181I'm pretty sure it's still loud as fuck.
>>562593210I guess I'll keep doing it until it stops working
>>562593481crawl on you crazy worm you
>hear a million gunshots from kolontay at mvd>pmc stands still to loot the duffel or dead scav in the ammo roomI'm already ratting for this stupid quest and it's only going to get nastier.
awwww yeaaaaaaaah
>scav in for my last raid of the night>checking all the spawns for cultists hiding>find a level 25 timmy with scav gun and scav ammo standing on the canisters in gate #1>we both run out of ammo and I end up hopping up and stabbing him to death>game bugs and he doesnt die and have to reconnect to see his corpse
How do people get manage to get BD gear and bring it on normal maps? I know you can get the NVGs from Fence, I've got them myself, but I've never seen any backpack or rig.
i like all the little details they did with the environments, you can tell they had fun making the maps
>>562607515Yes, the enviromental storytelling is on another level, I appreciate it a lot, but I feel like it's also probably the reason maps like Streets run so shit since there are so many random assets everywhere.
Woods players are the most faggots in the game. Where the fuck are they.
>>562608642Far away.
>>562610894Get some new material chud
>>562610972I really should, but I haven't been playing much Tarkov lately.
id much rather get 20 bolt action kills than mp5
Give me the PP, Nikita!I want to swing my PP around in Factory.
>get a bretty gud marked room on streets>headed out to flare>me and some guy hear eachother at the cafe nearby>read his mind and know exactly what angle he's going to pop his head out from>shred his head off (mod4 feels great btw)>ttv>hasn't streamed in 2 months>he did not rekitkek thanks for the vector and truckload of .45 AP, no other game reaches this level of satisfaction
>>562619560Had a lot of fun with this gun in bad company 2
Interesting new ADS bug in the shooting range. Now instead of an increased fov you don't ADS at all.
>>562602148A better question is why they spent so much time making assets that less than 1% of the playerbase will see.
>>562627906>making assest almost no one will seeI get what you mean and it's definitely not the "best" thing to do but it's pretty fucking cool nonetheless. I love it when games have items so rare that some people never see them. Besides, who knows how much time they really spent on those items anyway, most are just color swaps right? Terminal being an entire map that most people won't see is a little more offensive. Still, even though I hear it's not that cool I'm still looking forward to seeing it for myself some day.
WTF am I missing for gunsmith part 1?I have the 2023 build of tarkov. no clue which version I have.
>>562630197don't you need the plastic forestock specifically?
>>562630538Do I need to find it "in raid"? I feel like I had one and it didn't work. I tried almost every combination.
>>562630197look specifically at what mechanic is saying in the quest with regards to ergo, weight, and recoil. Sometimes your weight will be like 0.1 too much
>>562630728nah you don't need anything fir for gunsmith, the recoil seems too big as well, so try to lower that
>>562630925>>562630935maybe I need to find the plastic one "in raid". as soon as i put it on it doesn't have the quest check mark.
>>562631751The quest check mark is yellow, the fir checkmark is white. If you have a yellow checkmark go back to the quest screen and you can hit turn in
>>562627771We are so back, retro fps gamers! Fuck ADS zoomies!
>>562607515Maps in EFT are pure sovl, I'll give BSG that. That may result in suboptimal map balancing, but still, I like it. Makes the world feel like someone had actually lived there and that people had to leave in a hurry.
What a bunch of strange raid I've been having today:>still doing TD2 on InterCHANG>every single raid, I've not seen a single PMC nor heard any shots>if I spawn near flare exfil, I loot the camp clean and extract there>if I spawn near the mall, I either rush to camp ultra medical or just take things slow>spots have been looted, doors have been opened, a few dead scavs here and there>but see nor hear any players, just a couple of pscavs here and thereWhat. InterCHANG used to be such a fucking painful map in the past, since the "pvp pressure" was so great and you just went from a fight to a fight until you died.
>>562627906Nikita said they'd be adding roaming squads of Black Division at some point. Where and when idk.
>>562637030Yeah I gave up on trying to td2 on that map, been doing it on streets instead and it's been a bit more exciting
>>562637030the new camps ruined the mapit's just another shoreline now
>>562638619Too bad I hate playing SoT solo and my FPS is pure garbage there too. Have always felt that there are WAY too many angles to handle solo and moving through the map after the start is pure suicide.
>>562640121The dynamics of the map changed drastically, yeah. It splits up the lobby way too much, resulting in a dead mall and a dead camp. I either run into 1-2 PMCs while running through the mall or none at all. Wasn't complaining before, when I had non-pvp tasks to do, but now it's pure fucking ass, when I'm trying to get TD2 and SBIH kills.
>>562642249>>562637030They just need to make people spawn inside the mall, at least some of them. I do enjoy not being raped off spawn any more though because everyone would just camp the mall entrances
>Need just ONE CPT victory and some score>have lost 7 games in a row by being absolutely fucking demolished by the enemy team, less than 200 score every gameHow the fuck can I deviate from the expected value of 0.5 win ratio so much? In one of them games I literally killed the whole enemy team at once, but my team just wouldn't capture points.
>>562646095Engagement based matchmaking
>>562645146If I don't get the best spawn for an entrance I generally go from underground and use one of the various paths to get upstairs
>>562646095there's no matchmaking so you can just face teams that are 99-5 with retards on your team that have never played before.
>>562646332>>562647308Whatever it is, I'm literally going fucking mad. Just went through my 9th game of getting fucking devastated by the enemy team, I was the ONLY ONE with captures and I WAS THE ONLY ONE with a kdr of 1.0 or more. Almost 10 games in and my task is at 1735/2300 points. This is so FUCKING ridiculous.
Haven't died to an obvious hacker like this in a while:>go for vexfil on Interchange>have not heard or seen anyone the whole raid>proning on the ground on the right side of the vehicle>see the timer go to zero>hear no gunshots, no zipping sounds or anything>my character just fucking flops dead, as if he just had a huge pulmonary embolism happen>in the post raid screen my ULACH has like 10 visible bullet holes on it>check my killer's profile>pic relatedIt's so nice to be just running around the dead map to get some TD2 kills only to get killed by the most obvious fucking hacker there is, after vacuuming my pilgrim full of loot. Thank god my gear was mediocre as hell and so was my loot.
>>562652792Also, I still find it absolutely hilarious that:>the anti-cheat can't pick out profiles like these>people who hack in this game have fucking thousands of hours played on their accounts
>game crashes as i load up streets>get back in, someone's already pushed my spawn, gets my legs>go into the back room of expo and grenade myself>gives him the killThat's so fucking lame.
After dying to that hacker, my next raid:>spawn>rush Necrus>hear running>pull the most beautiful facetap in a while>heard only his footsteps, but as usual, it's a squad until proven otherwise>quickly run up the stairs inside the cafeteria>aim at his body>a moment passes>an AI scav ventures there and gets killed by M4 fire>don't fire, don't even peek, just wait for his butt buddy to think that I had fucked off>get greedy and have a bad angle, but I REALLY need those TD2 kills>fire at him, manage to kill him by putting my whole 50-rounder inside him>fill up my mags and go loot, having a LEDX in my container, so I've already won>after approaching the first body, get shot at from two different directions and dieSo my solo ass just ran into a 4 man squad and after one of them died, they just all started camping that one guy's corpse? Oh come on. Especially, when they are up against someone with a dogshit weapon like the MP5.I'm still happy, though; found a ledx and got two TD2 kills. Still, it's always frustrating to die to a squad after downing a big portion of them and then just succumbing to them corpse camping their friends.
lmao
>>562656998l m a o
>>562647837:^)
>camping the ever loving shit out of ultra medical, so I can get my FUCKING TD2 kills>aiming at the door, hear someone looting the fucking bags outside the door>my stamina finally deplets>THEN he proceeds to open the door>hear him just run away>try to run after him>some third party opens fire on me>the dude running away realizes that someone is getting hit behind him and turns around>now I'm fighting two different people with no cover>do 900 damage total and die without killing anyoneI'm so FUCKING FED UP WITH THIS FUCKING TASK FUCK
gotta love this building
>>562658778>dumb fuck stands still in the exact same spot his buddy died inWhy do I never get retards like this in my raids?
>>562658778Oh shit what the fuck, I didn't know you can see the MVD side door. Is that the upper or lower floor?
>>562658956it's also a ridiculously hard angle to peek from there>>562658979upper, in the restaurant
>>562658686>another raid>another MP5SD>run into a trio in the garages, 2/3 of them rocking Altyns and me being absolutely fucking powerless against them with my AP 6.3>try to kill the only dude with no Altyn, managing to hit him so many fucking times without killing him>he dives behind cover and his heavily armored butt buddies just execute meIt's a fucking Sunday night and it's 01:27 here. Why the fuck are most of my raids suddenly full of heavily armored squads? Just a couple of days ago I felt like I ran into nothing but timmies, now I'm being gang raped by either squads or straight up hackers. Most raids I'm also just doing my own thing, not even throwing myself into hotspots, but I still fucking run into ridiculously geared squads.
>>562660325i can totally feel your painin the past few days I've probably died 10 times with the mp5 and only got 4 killsi fucking despise that piece of shit caliber so much its unreal. not only that the bullets fucking suck, but why do I have to lead with the bullets when shooting someone running literally 10 meters from me?sr2m was so much of a better gun the quest was actually fun with it, now it's pure miseryi guess the only way to not lose your sanity and get kills in IC is staying outside and trying to find timmies by the camps/power
>>562660325>run into a trio in the garages, 2/3 of them rocking Altyns and me being absolutely fucking powerless against them with my AP 6.3Here's how you fix that problem, anon.
>>562660325>>562662539yeah literally just use flesh ammo in your submachine guns unless it's the vector in which case AP rounds are actually good. Mp9 might be high enough ROF you can use pbp or ap as well.
>die because of random clutter on the ground preventing me from running without vaulting/jumpingI fucking hate this nigger game.
>>562661035Yeah, I feel like I have very similar stats to yours. Either my raids are fucking empty or I encounter shit like I just described above. The caliber is shit and the MP5's ROF is slow enough, so even flesh ammo feels meh-tier. I fucking hate the fact that all the other TDs are smooth sailing after this one. Why the HELL is this 20 kills???
>>562663850Every test drive should really be 50 eliminations instead of the first 3 being pmc kills for whatever reason. This game has enough fucking tedium.
>>562664079Amen. Fuck these tasks, man.
>headshot a guy twice>wonder why he didn't die>die 10 mins later from a random window>recognize his backpack on the death screen so it was definitely the same dude>altynOf fucking course.
>>562664623It would be an actually fun line they were like that. >run around for a few raids shooting scavs and maybe pmcs while you do other tasksinstead we have>spend copious amounts of time skulking around these maps hoping to get a few kills because the S&B is a piece of fucking shit and 9mm is a worthless caliberAt least TD3 isn't that bad with the ak-12 and top tier 5.45 rounds but it still takes for fucking ever. What really fucks me off is the way Nikita is going to shit all over the permanent character servers once the seasonal shit comes out. Have fun with your completely dead fucking raids and going back to 10 minute queue times because you don't no life this piece of shit game.
>>562660325Alright, this is getting beyond fucking ridiculous at this point:>another raid>ANOTHER FUCKING MP5SD>go camp ultra medical>suddenly my monitor throws on a notification that it's going into hibernation mode, if no action is taken>thought that I had disabled all power saving modes on it, since I had not seen that notification for ages>quickly search for the monitor's remote>can't find it>the notification is sitting right at the center of my screen, so can't see where I'm aiming>at that moment some taunt spamming BEAR starts rushing up the escalators>try to aim, can't see anything>can't find the fucking remote>he eventually sees me and onetaps my head, while I just try to escapeI'm so fucking ready to put my fist through my monitor at this point. Like holy fuck, how is this even possible? My monitor does have physical buttons behind it, but I couldn't find them in time. Like holy FUCKING HELL, if that FUCKING notification had come up like 20 seconds prior, it would've been a no problem.I feel like if I'm going to play one more game, I'll end up breaking something in my room.
Kek I'm so glad I got TD2 done like a month ago when altyns were still sorta rare. Even though death shadows were common 9mm AP still goes through and I could just spray faces
>>562665787For me it's less the altyns and more that the people wearing the altyns are the sweatiest loser cocksuckers this game has to offer who will send their first round directly into your fucking eyes before you can get enough rounds into their legs.
>>562666571...that said, stay at interchange. You won't find timmies on streets because of the 200k fee, and GZ has the level cap. Even just last week I was finding timmy duos on interchange while I was doing sbih. I didn't camp extracts interchange though, instead I stalked shots and set up to ambush people inside the mall. You can actually predict people's pathways through the mall pretty easily since it's just a big grid. If you hear someone fighting in a spot, try and zoom down an alternative lane to set up and cut them off up ahead of their route.
>>562665692>next raid>another mp5sd>go for the camp>circle around it, looking carefully everywhere checking all the directions where spawns are at>proceed in to just loot and hopefully fuck off via flare to get back some of my losses>see the first item I'm going to pick up>pick it up>die immediately and become someone's SBIH killI don't know why I'm even throwing myself into raids anymore. I'm beyond furious at this point. When I died, I just insta smashed my palms into my face and let out this incredibly long sigh, only to rage buy another set of MP5SD with cl 5 armor and rematch into IC.
>>562666916I've been playing streets because I also need to do SBiH, unfortunately. I only have like 3 more kills, at least.
>>562667341People are rushing the marked rooms on streets right now like crazy. If there's a way to camp the door to pop their head while they open it, now is the time to do that. Just don't do it to me, I need the money :(
>>562667465I've been ratting klimov, but of course, the raids I spawn in the mall and sit at the flare the entire fucking raid not a single soul shows up.
>>562667465Everyone that is rushing marked is a duo that will nade the room with the door 80 times and do the faggy ass info peaks 99 times in a row. I haven't gotten a single kill while camping a marked room because of it.
>>562667692Fucking this. I feel like 99% of the playerbase already knows every single possible fucking angle in the game and everyone knows how to perform pixel perfect bait & info peeks. Getting SBIH kills on some maps became so fucking tedious that I just gave up on the task and pretty much gave up on prestiging too.
>>562667995It feels like streets has become labs where no one on wants to play it unless they absolutely have to because the only people playing it do nothing but play it and know every single angle and sound in the 1000 fucking buildings on the map.>Getting SBIH kills on some maps became so fucking tediousI gave up and extract camped or doorcamped until half of my kills were naked retards rushing marked rooms or something similar.
>>562667692>>562667995I wonder if people still check the dark corner across from factory marked. That one that Abney made a video on a couple years ago.
>>562668861How stupid do you think they are? They throw 3 nades in, run peak over and over, check the upper and lower staircases fully, and then and only then loot it.
>finally get two more TD2 kills out of a timmie duo>FINALLY a good raid>get ass raped by Killa whose presence was still unknown to me at the time, even though I checked his spawns and ran through the mall multiple timesTonight it seems that I can't even have a single survived raid. Oh well, two more TD2 kills, at least.Just checked my progress and thought that I was well on my way to getting it completed:>9/20Yeeeaaah, fuck this game.
My retardation power is so large that it forms a retard emp-field around me that makes everyone else miss their shots. >spawn mall>sprint out and get shot at from behind after leaving the pinewood lobby>doubleback into the cafe>fucking trio of guys try to come up on me>engage "town rapist" mode when I hear they've got bolties2nd guy had no excuse though, lvl6 plates and an SR25 full of M80A1shttps://streamable.com/pho10h
>>562670180bwo it's time to take a break and go do some other tasks, perhaps a nice relaxing customs run for setup is in order :)
>>562669107Stupid enough that there's a 20+ minute long video about ratting the fucking door. I play fucking streets dude, throwing nades down that hall is not the norm.
>>562670791That he didn't hold the window and blow your fucking brains out at like 27 seconds is testament to your retard field. I would've died right there.
>>562671014>run for setupOoohhh yeah, that piece of a shit task that I've got like 2 kills for as of now. Then there's SBIH and psycho sniper too.I don't even know why I'm doing tasks. In the past I've gone through these horrible utmost fucking tedious tasks, and not ONCE have I enjoyed the process. Perhaps I should just focus on doing the story, escape from Tarkov and then stop playing for good. The fuck am I even playing this game at this point? Feels like the further I get in task progression, the more time I just spend being frustrated. Even if the raids go good, I'm still frustrated, since I killed my target the wrong way, with the wrong gun or maybe I wasn't suffering from fentanyl withdrawal while killing them.
>>562670791I would've 100% gotten head, eyed by that first guy in a fucking millisecond, I swear. Also: what the fuck even is going on in this clip? The fps is horrible and every time you shoot, you go into full forearm muscle spasms? WHAT IS THIS CLIP?!This is how it would've gone, if it was my average raid:>don't hear anything>do a pixel perfect info peek>immediately die to a headshot>full squad comes in and gangrapes my corpseOh yeah, but it would've happened on Interchange while I was holding an MP5SD.
I either need to learn to like solo tarkov or make new friends that play this shit. Waiting on a friend to be around so we can play means I get like 6 raids a week in which means it'll take me until like 2028 to actually escape tarkov.
The spear really shouldn't be as hard to get as it is. Hybrid is unobtainium and FMJ sucks ass.
>>562672379The spear itself also costs a ludicrous amount off peacekeeper if you don't farm it from marked rooms. I'm doing the final lightkeeper quest to get it and hybrid right now and it fucking sucks.
>>562672502It's something like 300k rubles, isn't it? Even with hybrid that's a pretty steep ask.
>>562671402>>562671724Not pictured in that clip: a solid minute of me peeking angles baiting shots all through the cafe as they try and track me down. So they were on edge a bit too. The fps is just bad because my clipping software just shit, ingame it's a lot smoother. Muscle spasms are real though don't make fun of disabled gamers :(Here look, another one fell into my retard-field. I thought he was a scav. Can we normalize just being completely fucking shit, look at how effortlessly that scav danced around these shots. You would be appalled to know how high my k/d is.https://streamable.com/lawngb
>>562673005>Can we normalize just being completely fucking shitNot anymore. 99% of the shit players have moved to PvE.
>>562672956>something like 300k rubles400k almost exactly, and hybrid rounds are roughly 2600 rubles each. 47 pen 72 damage is pretty good, especially out of a suppressed gun with 60 ergo, 70 recoil, and 800 rpm, but I feel like m80a1 being so cheap to craft makes it pointless. I don't even know how many rounds I'll be be able to buy per reset, but I'd imagine it's going to be less than 72.
>when the most expensive thing in the marked room is a keycard holderWTF I RACED A GUY HERE FOR THIS??? 3 more uses on the key, so far I'd say I've gotten about 6-7 mil from it.
>>562675552Which key?
>>562675593Abandoned factory. It's actually really fun to run because there's so many routes to get to that room. Oftentimes you can bait someone into thinking that you'd taking the same path, so they slow down like crazy. Then just go a different route and steal all the shit in the room before they realize that you're long gone lol. All the best shit can go up your ass anyway.
>>562675718I've been pulling ridiculous shit from it every raid. I think the best I had recently was a red rebel, two taigas, blue, and a few guns worth 100k each. I almost always get 2 colored keycards and the shitty interchange ones each hit.
>>562665692>>562667071why even do test drive
>>562675796Nice! I just got out with a leddy and a black card, very happy with the leddy since it's the last FiR I need.
I never get good enough spawns to want to risk taking one of these in.
>>562679783You're supposed to go in at night with a 5 man

>get shit spawn>camp terragroup armory>no one shows up>run to go camp green flareDo these fuckers only leave at the end of the raid? I feel like a scumbag for camping with an altyn, class 6 plates, and an NL, but this entire map is cancer and I refuse to walk into another window camping nigger.

totally normal
They need to do something about the skull mask everyone shouldnt be wearing it, retarded.
>>562699551Everyone having a class 2 faceshield + flashlight and flashbang protection at all times with no downside is very stupid, yes.
Wew.

>>562700650>buggedI saw you post that earier and I was hoping it was just bait or something. It's a tritium sight for shooting at night. You only have the rear one on and it also has a front post that goes with it.
>>562700804that is fucking weird
>>562700934Guns are cool, hopefully you will cultivate a greater interest in them from playing this game.
woah
>>562700986HAIL /K/UBE>>562700650This is a beautiful thing about this game. Great shooting.
People love hiding at the forklifts on gate 1, idk why. I've also seen people hiding at the labs transit even a level 50. I assume he was going their for transit xp but he killed me when I chased him lol. Maybe it's a way to aggro scavs and cultists too?
>been putting off the 1.0 wipe>attempted the Interchange part of Tour no less than 4 times before they added the "just raid there 3 times" clause>died in firefights against other PMC's half the time, the other half was just Tarkov servers shitting themselves>died again today>2nd raid, managed to kill an unaware juicer and grabbed his meta RD-704 and class 6 plates>checked out power station, no v-ex>go down to emercom and successfully extract>said juicer had 6,000 hoursI think I might just play this wipe boys
https://x.com/schizoponders/status/2037225980889022866I remembered this clip again today, why does it have so many fucking views. I hate this guy btw he ratted me so hard I'm still mad about it
>>562704121welcome back.
>>562705105What's the deal with this literally who? This general has brought him up several times in the last week.
>>562706884It's fun to have someone to shit on, especially someone that only plays the same fucking map at the same time for 12 hours straight. The odds of running into him are pretty damn high.
>>562706884Play night factory and you will run into him and learn why we hate him
>get shot in the face twice by a guy with a bolty>both rounds were ps (45 pen)>altyn tanks both and I take pretty much 0 head damageThat guy got completely fucked by rng, holy shit.
>>562707987You ran into the only retard running an sv98 as his bolt action lmfao. Why would he not use m80a1 it's craftable
>>562708371He's prestige 3 lvl 41 so he had no excuse.
>>562708445He's definitely seething still lmao
>>562708371Because real sniper niggas know M80A1 is dogshit because it shoots too high.
>>562708647He put on a tagilla mask and was going to bring an axmc until once his friends told him to run a dvl instead. He also did that thing that retards do where he brought a 40 stack of m80 and 3 full mags for his dvl. >>562708664He brought m80a1 the next raid and missed all of his shots on the first guy he saw lol
>>562708664I mean yeah you should always use m61 if you have it but unless youre on woods the ranges where m80a1 makes a difference are super super rare.
Just realized the ppsh has actually decent armor shredding ammo now for dirt cheap drum mags and high rate of fire. Gotta try this badboy out, will report back tomorrow
>>562700650bodied that freak
>>562710374The armor damage % is pretty low and combined with the really low damage it's not going to be doing much. Good luck.
I left pvp 4 months ago due to life. My character was at lvl 26 and I was doing The Punisher - Part 4. I think I am quite far behind now and won't be able to kill other PMCs on lighthouse. Would you recommend going back now? or rather play pve and wait until next wipe would be more optimal for fun?
>>562711986There are a lot of newer players and low level high hour accounts running around right now from sales and updates while most of the no-lifers got bored a month ago or so. It's probably a pretty damn good time to get back in, although lighthouse is still going to be shit.
>>562684640Erm, you're not using an NL
>>562712081Thanks anon. I will jump back in.
>>562712205It's an NL DI because even with an altyn and class 6 plates I'm still a massive jew and won't pay more for the GP.
How's gray zone warfare vros?
>>562713742Probably going to be a fair bit better than Tarkov in 4 years
>>562715376I asked because I tried marathon and while chuds complaints about it were in the wrong place, the game is simply too sweaty and not tactical enough (first weeks had tension, going slow and playing meticulously it was genuinely good and fun gameplay, discovering the lore, now it's sprinting around the map to kill every player to loot in peace).I wanted to try tarkov years ago but got discouraged by all the ITS THE DARK SOULS OF THE DARK SOULS OF THE DARK SOULS OF SHOOTERS, I'm terrible at shooters, and every wipe that passes it feels like it's too late to get into the game.I might pull the trigger and boughtered it.
>>562715924>I'm terrible at shootersTarkov is perfect for you, then. It's actually one of the most shitter friendly shooter games out there, you can absolutely get away with shit aim if you have decent positioning and learn to ambush people.

>>562723985The Woodland camo LBT pack has 5 slots more and costs less
>>562724513well now i feel stupid
>>562723985>she brings a backpack into raidslollmao evenjust take one from a player you killed, retard.
>>562723985Even as far as 20 slot bags go it sucks because it's so noticeable and the cost of a bag is irrelevant after a point anyway. Unless you're some kind of retarded tranny who doesn't bring a bag in you shouldn't ever really care that you spent 50k on a decent bag.
https://www.escapefromtarkov.com/news/id/383
>>562725428It's also the second heaviest 20 slot bag after the Pillbox, it's barely 100 grams lighter.
>>562695728You're doing it wrong. When you run the RSh you go full cowboy or you go home
>>562725428>you shouldn't ever really care that you spent 50k on a decent bag.The 25-slot LBT pack has been priced at sub-12k roubles with the Ragman barter for more than 365 days, so I'd say you're wrong there
>>562726329No, I'm not. The space provided by a larger bag is more than offset by the shit I can fill the bag with. I'm also far past the point of needing to nickel and dime every piece of my gear. The only time I run the lbt anymore is when I'm tasking. Otherwise I run, at minimum, something like a mechanism.

>>562735841New arena clothes? Looks pretty cool. I assume the tagilla announcer is gunna be in the new tactical map.
did a new streamer start playing tarky? i seem to run into a lot of new players lately
>>562742626Nope, just new people playing
>>562742626Probably all alot of marathon players that got disapointed and jumped to the "next" big one. I'm one of those.
>>56272546125,000 is pretty big if true
killing moving targets with a boltie feels so good bros
>>562745857This is the one and only Big one, every other fails at it
>>562748534One of the only redeeming qualities of there being as many fucking bolt action tasks as there are is that they are occasionally extremely satisfying to kill someone with.
I'm not stopping until I have at least 10,000 rounds.

GOOD LUCK getting out now!>lose 0.3 rep>still have him at LL4>still can buy and sell to him>still can do quests for him>still brings me shit back in insuranceFor a "hardcore" game, the choices you make don't seem to have very much impact
>>562755765For me it's that one USEC who sounds like he's getting pounded in the ass.
>>562757364yeah they just kind of added new npcs for their story mode too, they could have had some cool choices to make that would differentiate players based on gear and clothing but no, we get the cat mask guy and some bullshit map that isnt fun at all instead
>>562757521WE ARENT COMIN YA HEAR
>>562760092One of 'em is, that's for sure.
>kept killing low level players>remember when I used to join the game when it was mid or late wipe and getting killed by high level playerI do feel a bit of pity but the cycle of abuse must continue.
>>562757521The whiney guy is hilarious.FUCKING HEEELP
is that the cultist priest on the right? He had nothing good on him
>>562762102The Priest always wears a hood.
>>562762268yeah I found him out at gate 3 delivery from the past area, he had a marked key on him. Easy af scav run. They snuck up on me cause I checked the safe
I get the feeling this is not going to end well
>>562763007
>>562763234the parts on the upper and lower right disappear after a few seconds and after that it's very clean
>>562762268It's still unreal how fucking bad the cultist robes look.
I hope your arms don't do this.

What's the best way to pull this one off?
Season 2 can't come soon enough...
>>562768789I don't know why people want an endless seasonal cycle. The thought of doing early game tasks again fills me with such revulsion that I almost want to throw up
>>562769107I'm talking about Arena
>>562769159That makes more sense. There's no reason to play arena without the tangible rewards of the battle pass and tactical map.
>>562769553Yes, that's my point. I can't even stomach myself to boot it up to farm daily quests for XP in the real game, the game is just so ass. At least having some cosmetics to grind for that I can use in the real game would give me a reason to play it, not to mention hopefully maybe the game gets fucking rebalanced to make it more fun instead of the boring SCOUTCQCMMP7 metaslop simulator it is now.
>>562769107i need tasks and to feel the progression to enjoy the gamesimply pvping/looting becomes pointless pretty quickly
>>562769986A normal human being takes MONTHS to complete all the tasks to reach an ending. I'm still only like 80% of the way to kappa and have done very few main story tasks. I genuinely do not give a single fuck about what streamers and no life sweat niggers think about the progression of this game because they are less than human. Unironically, streamer culture ruined tarkov and how the game progresses. >>562769773I have this sinking feeling that they're not going to actually change the balance in any meaningful way. I don't even use "fun" kits anymore because it's an exercise in how pissed off I can get before I swap to a meta loadout.
>>562770768>Unironically, streamer culture ruined tarkov and how the game progresses.Streamer """culture""" ruined gaming in general, but yes Tarkov is among the games most impacted by it.
>>562769107Same! I only played this wipe cause I could play at my own pace without having to do all the tasks asap to enjoy the game before it's all reset. Doing the tasks like psycho sniper for the first time ever to complete it forever >>562769986
>>562770768Arena needs a more limited loadout point mode, where guns like the KEDR and Vityaz and M9 can have a place
>>562771408I think there was an early mode in arena where each round would be progressively higher tier guns. Could be misremembering but I thought it was a cool idea at least. Start with scav guns then end up with meta shit with full attachments
>camp a guy at green flare at ~17 mins left in raid>get up to go loot him at 5>he had a buddy sitting there the entire time>tank all of his rounds and get out anywayIf I could have wasted another 20 minutes of those fags time I'd do it without any hesitation.
>>562775847Smoke grenades my nigga, I have been living so much more since i started bringing 2 every raid
I know the dev team has some weebs in it. I wonder which of them I need to harass in order to get the type 89 added. They've made an m-lok handguard for it so we can put attachments on it and everything.
>scav in>run along rafters>throw vog at some guy who shoots me dead>see this end game stat screenHow did I help scavs if he didnt die? Did he die afterward? Usually it doesnt show the damage numbers unless I was alive during the grenade so he should still be alive, but maybe he bled out by the time I made it to the death screen
>>562781895>made an m-lok handguard for itWhat handguard is it? Honestly if they are adding chinese gun then the type 89 and the K2 would make sense and be a nice gift to asian fans.

Why yes I do always shoot right before extracting in hopes of wasting a PMCs time hunting for a third party kill.
took out my first ever 4-man team on customs last night. had a long retard fight at big red right in the beginning of the raid:>spawn by storage and start moving to big red with the intention of looting the office>enter the compound and see that the 4-man beat me to it, we shoot at each other and i disengage>conga line of scavs show up from the bridge and run inside the compound to keep them busy>i circle around big red, see one of them standing on the catwalks by the office through the window, take a shot at him but miss>run to trailer park, two of their goons run past me to go and look for me in storage after they dealt with the scavs>sneak back into the compound and walk up to the main entrance of big red>level 10 guy comes running out obliviously, blast him with my AK-105>figured he was probably calling for backup on discord so i set up inside big red and wait for his buddies to arrive>the two guys that went looking for me in storage come through the main door, nearly die to the level 30 ring leader but come out on top by the skin of my nuts and kill both>last guy decides to try and flank me from the southern entrance>level 11 timothy does the widest peek of all time and sprays wildly with his suppressed mp7, but it's no use and he joins his mates in the big main menu in the sky>get some nice loot and find a RAM stick in the office, had to run all the way to ZB-1011 and extracted with about 2 minutes left to spareno i didnt record any of this of course, but the experience made me feel like a fuckin spetsnaz operator
>>562813569Very nice! I dont think I've ever killed a 4 man but I've killed a trio at least a few times I'm almost sure. Usually I kill 1-2 then just leave or the enemies leave my killzone realizing I am not gonna die
>>562813569Probably no better feeling than wiping out squads as a solo in Tarkov. Couple wipes ago I took out a vtuber trio (their 4th was already dead) and felt like a demon in Woods. I took the time to look up their channels after the raid.

Is Gayzone any good?I know it's dumb to ask this in a Tarky general. But, all my friends quit tarkov, and I'm alone and depressed and want something to play that isn't as lifeless as PVE solo tark.
>>562820615No. It's gay and it's the only game that managed to get my CPU to dangerously hot temperatures. Didn't even know a CPU could frantically beep. Its PvE is shit and PvP is even shittier somehow. There are only like 10 guns too.

>>562826585It's just a Russian thing, you wouldn't get it.
>>562826830I thought sudoku is a honorabru samurai thing.
I didn't even notice this guy was here and already dead on the roof of the little storage sheds in the residential area. I never found who killed him but the loot was good.
>>562802058kek i tried to do the same thing today and my experience was the same. lost all of my decent gear so i guess i wont be attempting labs again anytime soon
>>562828049You can just rush the door through the factory basement level and then wait until the end of raid on labs and take the no backpack exit for extra sneakiness.

>>562831010I've got more keys if the unthinkable happens. >>562679783
>P90 mags are only -15% loading speed nowDamn maybe it's time to start running the P90.
>>562831383Only 900 rpm for an smg and 37 pen is gonna suck, but it's probably great for headshot fishing.
>>562831101no need but thank you anon, got a good spawn
>>562832308Grats, hopefully you get some decent keys instead of the dogshit sub 200k pull I got.
>>562832363didn't get anything good at all unfortunately, that and i also got killed by the sniper scav at flare exfil even though i fired the flare into the airjust looted terragroup armory toobastard
>>562833393>killed by the sniper scav at flare exfilYou really need to make sure it says "signal flare area" or whatever before you fire it.
>>562833512first time its ever just killed me even though i fired it, got the notification and fired it like i always do and he gunned me down with 3 seconds on the exfil timerwas only there to do peacekeeping and that though, both i got done, so im not too bothered
>>562833512They should make it so they signal to you that it's clear.Subtle things like a light in a window going off, or they shoot at a metal sign to give you a signal. Literally anything other than you just running into certain death and hoping the trigger activated this time.
>>562835289The problem is more that the zones in which you need to stand in aren't actually clear. At every single flare location the indicator pops up that you're in a flare location before you're actually standing in the zone.
>>562828162well i finally got in with the worst kit imaginable. ssh-68 and a mosin.i just had to find the server room which i found early onto the raid and then the office.i hid in this corner like it was an active shooter drill and waited until there was about 10 minutes left in the raid. managed to complete the task, then nearly died of hunger and thirst on my way to the extract.now i can never go to labs again

>>562841506I played a bit of the demo and I'll play the early access launch today now that you've reminded me it's out. I'm hoping it's going to be a good alternative to modded stalker in the future as it develops.
>>562841506I want it to be good. But, there's so many early access games now.
>>562841506>early accessAsk again in 10 years when it's actually finished.
>>562841506>A hardcore single-player survival gameWith the power of mods today, ANY single player game can become almost anything. Other people, either in cooperation or competition, are what makes games for me these days. While I can see, and do greatly enjoy, the comfy single-player experience (stardew, rimworld, stalker, kcd2), the unprogrammable human spirit brings a full spectrum experience that hedges most my gaming time. >game looks good>still waiting for an "Armchair Prepper: the first week" type game. Small town, USA. You have a selection of prep stuff then have to survive multiple different scenario's in a small/medium town for a week. It could be like 10 different things that you won't know before you start (zombies, alien Invasion, EMP/nuke, martial law, bad country army and good country army are fighting near you, etc. etc.). It could have the worst graphics but it'd be fun as shit.
>>562842980>still waiting for an "Armchair Prepper: the first week" type game. Small town, USACDDA
Factory coming to Arena. Also 1.0 guns and mods, finally. Also a new helmet skin.
>>562844154I'm sure the dozen or so people that play arena are really excited about that.
>>562843282nice
>>562844154Also looks like a new optic, I thought it's the ROMEO holo at first.
>>562842980>"Armchair Prepper: the first week"far cry 5
>>562844154the guy on the left in the screenshot looks like a NSF heavy from Neotokyogod I miss Neotokyo
>>562844154I really wonder if Nikita regrets releasing pve.
>>562848065They are so insufferable it's unreal.
>>562848392They really are. BSG definitely got a good bit of money out of pve, but I don't think it was worth irreparably damaging the game.
>>562848392>>562849042I think if you charge money for a PVE version of the game, it's not unfair to expect that version to be kept as current as the PVP version.It's not like it's a free update.
>>562850423Not really the point bud.
>>562700804I've sucked up quite a lot of tritium this year already. When you get a big uptake the best thing to do is to grab a 2-4 and get shittered.
does this make much difference? i maxed my repair for shits and gigs
>>562863678if it actually does what it says, it's quite significant for full auto guns
>>562863678The Marlin's base accuracy is about 1.33
whelp, that was a waste of time. Just attempted Marathon achievement, and I read Labs was optional, so I skipped it. Just did all the maps in my first try. Guess labs is NOT optional.
Felt like I've struggled extra hard with CPT of late, while trying to get wins for dailies/weekly and decided to check my match history. How the fuck is this even possible, like statistically? With unranked matching, I'm pretty sure your winrate should be converging to 0.5, not fucking 0.2. What can even be the confounding factors in this? Sure, I'm the common denominator, but in every match I've had good KDR, plenty of captures and every match I try to work as hard as I can for our team. I'm pretty sure it isn't just me, especially since I get MVPs commonly, when we win.Is playing in premade groups in CPT common or something? Almost all my defeats have been like utter fucking humiliations too, where the enemy team has captured all points within the first few minutes and proceeded to spawn kill our team. I don't even get any even matches, it's always a crushing defeat.What am I missing here? Out of those three victories I was the MVP in two of them and had the second highest score in the remaining one.
>poke my head out of one of the windows at the dome>immediately one tapped by a Gluhar guard from white knightI'm so tired of dogshit cheating AI.

Time to wrap up SBIH.
>>562872071Humiliation ritual
>>562871643>>562872038Thanks, anons.
>>562872194Best quest in the game.
>>562871767it's the best gun in the game tho
Am I dumb or is scav level a thing in this game currently?
>>562872253Much more a humiliation ritual that you decided to prestige and redo them.
>>562872253And pure suffering, if you hate using bolt-actions. I hate camping AND using bolt-actions, so it's double bad. I just suffer through SBIH by throwing on a CQB bolt-action and deathspamming into metaslop hotspots until it's done. I've done SBIH so many times in the past that I just can't go through it anymore. I will NEVER prestige due to that one task.
>>562872359Because SBIH is fun.
>>562872071keep the suppressor up your ass until you make it to your tactical position
>>562872346Yes, scavs have their own stats
>>562871767What makes a gun "tranny", anon? Please, explain, so I can understand.
>>562872448>metaslop hotspotsI wish you retarded niggers would learn some new words. That fucking term doesn't even apply to what you're trying to say you mongoloid.
>>562872464I have 55 million + a bunch of unsold bitcoins, I don't really care about money at this point.
>>562872678it's about preventing others from gaining not yourself from losingsun zoo
>>562873184I had the same mindset for a long time. I even barely use the flea market because I didn't want to give money to other players or selling them good shit that would get me killed.
>>562873184>>562873529Balrog mentality.
>>562873529that's advanced spite
>>562872614You understood perfectly well, what points I was talking about. So no, I won't. It conveys the message to stupid gorilla niggers like you.
>>562873529Well I still sell the death masks to vendors (not fence) so that I reduce the amount in circulation. So tired of seeing that on every single person>>562872614>rush cultists on customs>there's nl545 skullmask bs ammo niggas every single raidhow is that not a metaslop hotspot
>>562873529Now that's ELITE level spite. I kneel.
>>562872613You can't fucking modify it, fucking useless man trying to be something but fails at it.
>>562873989Wouldn't modifications technically make the gun trans then? Are YOU using trans guns, anon? I prefer mine like biology intended, instead of going through unnatural modification processes.
>>562874202>Wouldn't modifications technically make the gun trans then?No because they actually pass, trannies never pass
>>562873984Because the word made anon feel all angry and bad.
>>562873989>>562874312Retard
>>562873812Getting a point across isn't an excuse to be an ignorant vantablack nigger. You spout the same ridiculous buzzwords that low IQ third world animals use because you're too lazy and stupid to speak properly, just like your average inner city pavement ape.
>>562875091>You spoutAngry anons is also a schizo anon, no surprises there. Stopped reading there, you butt hurt faggot.
>>562873989What the fuck are you even talking about? What do you want to modify? There's a handguard that allows you to put a foregrip and a light on it and there are various dovetail mounts for optics. What more do you want? How does that constitute a tranny gun you monumental retard?
>>562875869>>562874749It's a tranny gun
>>562875962Kill yourself
>>562875962>TRANNY TRANNY TRANNY TRANNYBack to /pol/ with you, wigger.
>>562876758You said it more than I did, maybe you should go back?

Nice.

>>562878940No it isn't.
>get SOIC from cultist circle, first time ever seeing it>after finding like 20 LedxsI feel like this book should be a tad easier to find.
>>562879173I've long since been convinced they literally do not spawn.
>landed a first shot headshot wallbang so it looks like the followups were to hide my cheatinglol I'd report me so hard
>>562879617You gotta do shit like that on labs so they definitely think you're cheating.
>>562880198It was arena and I was using an SVD so it was even more blatant since they had the replay showing me tap their head without ever seeing them a single time lmfao just a little shuffling
>>562880415Yea, I've got some of that too lmao. People really underestimate how strong audio is this game. I get called out for "cheating" all the time because I abuse the shit out of the audio. You don't even need to have it cranked up as long as you have an audio profile set up to emphasize the footsteps.
I wanted to get closer and VOIP something funny, too bad I accidentally dropped and made noise.
>>562880562Unfortunately I use speakers so I cant really pinpoint the audio as well as headphones
what did niggita mean by this?
>>562883294The one on the right is from an old event.
>>562880941
>>562885042Try night factory it's actually the easiest. Kill a few scavs then extract. So many extracts, rarely anyone pushes into your spawn.
>peacekeeping mission, cheap ammo, untar gear>pmcs somehow never see me>try bring in lever action just incase>2 sbih killsi've been dreading sbih but is it really just going to scav heavy locations and camping fuck out of them? ive even killed 2 pmcs that have rushed me after i missed my chance using m855 and right hand peekers advantage
>>562887170SBIH really isnt that hard to do on most maps. Ground zero was the only one I struggled on because there were just level 50s in squads running around doing god knows what
>>562888356>>562887170Actually no I take it back, streets was way harder. Almost no sniper angles and the spawns are a rapefest if you only have a bolt action.. Then if that wasnt bad enough everyone loots while inside locked rooms... Terrible map to snipe on.
>>562888516>streets was way harder. Almost no sniper angles
>>562888516>Almost no sniper anglesWatch Relax Street and LexOs people are always showing up
Currently loading up Labs doing The Guide as my last stop before having to sweat the Lightkeeper shit for StoryWhat are you fags up to tonight?
>most traders almost lvl4>still haven't done Farming part 1I hate questing in Factory
>>562895321Fagtory is just so boring it puts me off going in general, all the suspense is gone after the first 3 minutesThat and all the quests are the same Plant in a wide open area for 30 seconds at a time 3/4 times in a row
Any advice for not getting run down and smoked in under 2 minutes on labs? I'm only running it to get Advanced current converter and Far-forward GPS Signal Amplifier Unit for hideout. So far I've had 7 runs that 6 ended in sub 1 min death to some freak sprint jumping a corner and tapping me then the 1 I actually survived I was just kinda mindlessly running around trying to get a feel for the place.
>>562897754Not a meme reply, actually get good. Like, learn the spawns and either push the closest one or wait for them to push. Afterwards just run to the closest spot that has the item. You could also just sprint there without thinking on the ground level. I say ground because they will have to expose themselves more if they peak towards you down below running.Pistol run and learn the spawns
>>562897754You absolutely need to learn the spawns and where the biggest hotspots are. The red, violet, dark office, and yellow areas are 100% of the time going to have pvp. The residential unit will always have someone in it. You could try ratting the extracts in the hopes that someone else has picked up the cheese block or the gps, but that's unreliable.
>>562898165>>562898413Gotcha thank you. I also think I'm struggling just because of the pace of it. Factory feels so slow compared to this map everyone is just full sprinting everywhere big dick swinging every corner like there is no one behind it. I'll keep trying
>>562899172Nobody normal is playing labs right now, it's quite frustrating. I've only played a handful of raids since 1.0 started and almost every time I've died to some 2 view wannabe streamer, cheater, or other form of super sweaty loser. Labs has always been a dice roll but it's you're playing with loaded die right now.
>>562897754Play on random servers like colombia or mexico
>>562899779>Play on random servers like colombia or mexico
>>562901640You scoff, but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do to get what you need. Even on those servers labs isn't free of the type of strange creature that plays labs regularly, anyway.
I wish we could, while inspecting a kill, know where our bullet hit the dude and what bullet killed him. A bit like in Gray zone.
>>562902812>Gray zone
>>562902812Yea, a more detailed damage breakdown would be really nice. It'd be nice to know how much damage I did to what rather than just how much damage I did overall.
wow guys think of all the water i can filter with these!
Get literally best 2 spawns for Lighthouse and Reserve, only have to extract in Streets now
>>562904436Doing marathon? Ganbette, anon

>>562905720I didn't say it was a good reason.
>>562905801
Not been this nervous in months, waiting in this shit spawn debating what Exfil to make my way to
>>562906198>one of the worst spawns on the entire mapThat's tragic.
>>562895139had 2 beers, played a peacekeeping mission raid on shoreline and camped resort watching east wing 301 for sbihnobody came and i ended up looting both wings and nearly dying to a singular sanitar guard who ended up having 7.62 BP, he thoroughly ploughed my anus with it and i just hit red rebeldo people not bother with east wing 301 anymore? few wipes back it was a very good ledx spawn location, not found one myself there yet
>>562906280I think at this point most people going to shoreline are either hitting the labyrinth or terminal.
>>562906280>do people not bother with east wing 301 anymore?My last wipe before 1.0 was the christmas one in like 2023 and 301 was always a fight to get there first you had guaranteed PVP, this wipe when I am on Shoreline I am 9/10 times the only one looting both wings>>562906265Tarky gives and Tarky Takes (still hiding)
I caved and bought my 6th thicc case. Too much good gear from factory and im not dying enough
>>562895139Same thing I've been doing for weeks, farming cultists and retards on night factory. It's comfy as hell. Sometimes I break it up and go to woods or customs with default ironsights akm's too. I have become addicted to night raids, but mainly to kill the other people cultist hunting. It's a great feeling killing a group member and ruining their raid with a suicide kit
>>562906605>mainly to kill the other people cultist hunting
>>562906265Not only did I get the worst spawn but people failed to kill Kaban and the boys so now retard scavs are getting mowed down by the Mounted Gun in the distance shitting on the Framerate I pray V-Ex is open (it never is on Streets)
>>562907248Courtyard may be open. You probably have damaged house with that spawn, anyways.
>>562907327Yeah all along this area is my exfils, a fucking airdrop landed right infront of my area too, truly cursed final raid
>kill dude with dvl>40 rounds of m993>10 m80a1>20 m61Why do people bring so much extra ammo all the time? They can't seriously expect to even use half.
>>562907774People who do that aren't real.
>>562907327Head Eyes from god knows where by CBJ, Streets is such a dogshit map it is unreal
>>562907957Where were you? That guy doesn't look real in any case.
>>562908019Running from the V-EX to Courtyard, all the faggot devs had to do is make sure the V-EX always spawns but I have literally never seen it all wipe, literally nowhere to hide on that entire streetYeah I was thinking he is a dirty cheating chink but I am annoyed so who knows with this game even little Timmy can make all your Class 6 armor useless
>>562906198I do this run from that spawn straight to chek 15 or tarbank every raid I spawn there and haven't died a single time doing it. No idea why you'd stay there for so long when you can just transit back to interchange and try again with a different spawn.
>>562908193He was likely sitting up in the theater, then. There's really no reason for vehicle extracts not to spawn every raid.
>>562908286I had scoped it out for a few minutes I don't know where he could have been hiding probably sitting in a bush in the middle of the park for all I know>>562908214I should have just extracted from Interchange but I did not want to get chinked on that map either I had never had a problem on Streets before this raidI guess I will just do a quick Factory>Labs to set me up for tomorrow and let myself rest from this total waste of 4 hours
>>562908554Also, almost no one really plays night streets so you can probably do that next time for a safer time.
>>562908193>>562907957I would do labs and streets first, factory is way easier than streets idk why youd ever do streets last that's insanity
>>562908905>idk why youd ever do streets last that's insanityI was basing it on my own experiences but I have a very conservative playstyle and high S/R so I am not used to playing this way and get all up in my head>>562908812Noted and will Do Night Streets to Labs Transit to start that way I can just Hard Filter myself immediately then coast from there
>MFW Took 10 minutes to find Night Streets and I get the exact same spawn that fucked me over

whack ass early wipe build time (i am only level 12)
>>562912234Unfortunately aks got pretty gimped by the half-assed attachment "rebalance" they did. I wouldn't recommend you use them unless you are farming bt/bp/bs on reserve.
>>562895139I have 8 keys crafted for Terminal. Fence 7.0+. Prestige 2 ready to click. And have been putting off escaping for almost two weeks now (I've done three attempts tbf). Now I'm achievement and cultist farming. Got a Star called Sun and Killer of Killers the other day...I think I shall attempt Marathon again once the lady passes out, then maybe go kill kaban a few times (I really like killing that fat fuck)
>>562912338>>562912234aks are fine, low recoil with no attachments and decent ammo, especially the x39 ones are good even with just BT you can shred level 6
>scav into raid>eerily quiet so I know there's cultists (you spawn in with other scavs if not)>kill the first one in underground hallway>level 51 comes and third parties me right before I can loot the good ammo gunyoure so fucking lucky buddy
I spawned in gate 3 and accidentally extract camped a level 20, just let his friend kill me after. I didnt even realize what I was doing until it was too late. why do I spawn 3 mins into the raid...
>>562918743because you have shit hardware
>>562918865No I was a scav
>>562919702Doesn't matter, you still have to load in as a scav
Neato.
>>562910743oof. I like to start with labs then transfer to streets. Then if you extract that, do Factory to Woods transit. From Woods you transit to reserve, because the woods>reserve transit spawn is right next to the lighthouse transit on reserve. Then obviously southern extract immediately, or shoreline transfer immediately. If shoreline you spawn right next to the extract. Then a comfy night Customs raid transit to whatever transit you spawn next to finish it off (all spawns are a stone throw from transits on Customs)
>>562921715>because the woods>reserve transit spawn is right next to the lighthouse transit on reserveThey removed transits going to the other transit point when you spawn.
>clench my asshole in preparation for farming part 1>spawn right next to the control boards and get the task done in thirty secondssometimes you win some
Just realized I havent gotten a labs card on my scav for like 100 raids. What the fuck? They nerfed the shit out of them
Reshala gear has changed, tier 5 and 6 armornew gunsWhomever needs customs kills should focus on doing that
>>562924080>tier 5 and 6 armor>new gunsCan you be more specific?
I hate faggots like this so much, top tier gear and they just sit in a random spot so I cant even jiggle peek to check it. I dont get why they play like this
>>562924805I run altyns and class 6 when extract camping. It's really not a big deal once you get into the 50's or so and have too much money and gear to ever run in a lifetime.
>>562924771No nigger, go play the game yourself. Gave you the qrd already
>>562924805some people dont play for fun, they play to win
>>562922073I've been the luckiest fuck.
>>562925416yeah I guess so, I'm kind of the opposite surviving doesnt really matter to me I just wanna have memorable fights and some guy sitting in a corner until I walk right into him is not interesting. He probably wouldnt have moved if I passed him too lmao
anime feet
Damn way too many cheaters playing now this is insane
>>562929547https://tarkov.dev/players/regular/13587799LOL check out his stats he completed snowball before getting his first death
>>562929547>>562929726What a fucking loser, I will never understand how one can stoop down to such a subhuman level.
>>562929778Yeah I had on some pretty good gear too but I have so much of it hard to be upset about losing it. I would have killed him if I wasnt using a meme gun (TKPD) hit him four times. Or maybe I shot his friend and the cheater came to get me that would make more sense
>>562926860Same. I have started having a lot more fun with this game once I got over my gear fear.
>>562929547What servers are you playing on? I haven't run into any blatant cheaters on EU for a long time now.
Meanwhile in SPThttps://youtu.be/54NjlThfFv0
>>562931818Absolutely horrible taste from modders as always with the later stickers.
>>562931903If you meant pink SCAR-H, it's bait for clicks. Also, you can always make your own pack.
Are we boughting gray zone?
Just Woods left.
>>562932562we're boughtn't it
>>562932774Enjoy the best experience of your life
>>562932997I'm always looking forward to comfy Woods sniping.
>>562931818looks cool but i hope nikita doesnt get any ideas about cs2ifying tarkovi dont want to see more airsoft shit in this game
It's over for me...
>>562938218
>>562932774Why not slap a rangefinder on top? You wouldn't have had to get lucky that he was a retard standing still for 5 seconds
>>562948527Because I rarely need a rangefinder on Reserve, also the M700 looks cooler with the integral ring mount.
>>562948527NTA but the handheld one is nice because it can go in the special slot. If you consistently snipe from the same areas, you can memorize the shot distance to various targets and don't need the finder anymore. I'll use the handheld finder to scope out potential target zones ahead of people actually appearing. I also hate how bulky the rangefinder attachment is, especially on the top of guns.
>>562949263>>562949331Also, you need to aim noticeably lower to get a correct reading on a top mounted rangefinder.
>>562933604man the mp5 is just so fucking cool looking. really wish we had some of the higher caliber variants in tarkov, since 9mm is so shit
>>562949784>PSG1 when?>10mm when?>.44 mag revolvers when?
