just creampied another pmc on lexosstreets belongs to the scavs
>the pmc she says not to worry aboutWhy are we still here? Just to suffer?
multicam outfit when? I want to LARP
>>568172605I'm not hallucinating... that's a SureFire RC2 mounted onto the MP7, right?Are they finally adding this thing? That's cool>>568181178Crye G4 in MultiCam soon, anonNot sure if with this patch, I'd hope so, but at latest by July
patchnoteshttps://www.escapefromtarkov.com/news/id/390?type=2
>>568184664chat is this poggers or noggers?
>>568172605>THE WEDGEWhat a lame ass name for a boss. Especially a BD boss.
>>568184664>Fixed an issue where the limb selection interface for healing could disappear in certain situations;OH MY FUCKING GOD finally.
>>568184664Fuck yeah.
this should've been a big patch and it's just exclusively an event patch. where are all the guns and shit
>>568184664>>568188326CAG NIGGAS WE'RE GOOD TO GO>>568188441Seems like with a few small exceptions guns have been relegated to wipe patches only over the past few years.I'm not too bothered at this point, July will be quicker than you know it. As long as we get G3 + M249 for our waiting troubles it'll be worth it
>>568188795the seasonal wipes are starting in july? thats aids. they should just start it sometime in june. oh well.
>>568188795I need a FAST MT in Multicam so fucking bad.
>>568188795>half the price of faggy tracksuits and summer skinsBASED BASED BASED
>>568188982Considering this patch was delayed by a month or two I'd presume it was the case with seasonals as well. I agree though, it'd be good to get back to a proper 6 month schedule instead of the 8 + 4 we've had for the past few years>>568189031Same, anon. They've saved the best high cut for last to get MultiCam, I guess. It's the oldest high cut put in the game too and needs an asset overhaul pretty bad, so I'm praying beyond belief once they do we also get a couple of extra base pattern variations (AOR1 or desert MARPAT maybe?) and some helmet covers for it. ComTac mounts for it so I could just have a bunch of helmets g2g in my stash for premade kits would be nice as well.
my man looking drippy as FUCKanyone know what the scrim is on the helmet?
>>568191826>>568192070
>>568183002It just looks like the X400 to me, brotha
>>568196418look past it, anonthis confirms it anyway>>568192070
>>568192070>first Shturman>now WedgeI want to wear a fucking parka too AAAAAAA
>>568196953Anon you have no fucking idea how long I've waited for a proper parka for the RE8 cosplayAlso the KAC suppressor on that M110 would be so cool
>>568197396Yea, it's like the ONLY thing missing from a really solid cosplay>FAST with GPNVGs>half mask>some kind of color matching plate carrier>Outdoor Tactical/Rangemaster pants
>>568197396Kommandostore is doing a repro of the jacket. In the meantime I just bought a black n3b parka the fit isn't same but is still a nice jacket.
>>568188795default USEC looking ahh
it's up
>>568196953is that a chick?
>The RAM event endedOhnononononono MY MOONSHINE BARTER!!!
>>568204559I wonder if they at least keep the value of RAM the same.
>>568204559might as well go prestige now
>Icebreaker is locked behind Intel Lvl3Guess I'll work on my hideout
>>568205602There's a note on GZ.
New code with fat juicy loot BACKTORAID
>>568205681Oh nice, GZ is probably a warzone now.
Yep I'm thinkin' kino.
>>568206218mein neger
>>568206218yeup. this is fucking clean
>>568206281Nice. Mine is still a WIP, I'm USUC only on PVE and I wiped my profile a few days ago, I haven't found a tan FAST and can't buy Multicam helmets from Ref yet.
The new multicam do look nice but I can't give up my m81
New MP7 mods don't show up on traders, might be Wedge exclusive.
>Added several new streamer itemsI love even more rng bullshit and bloat for collector haha lol lmao
>>568207323I mean to be fair you don't have to worry about collector until Prestige 4, but yes I hate streamerslop as well. Those niggers unironically do not deserve the attention and glazing they receive. I'm absolutely mindboggled how that retarded faggot Desmond even got a streamer item in the game.
>>568206218>>568206281>>568206349The gloves look like ass (and it looks like they're bugged lmao), I can't wait for them to let us customize them.
After getting the poster at GZ we need to talk to Mechanic to continue the quest to icebreaker. The poster doesn't need to be found in raid. I don't know if you can still talk to Mechanic even if you die without the poste.
>>568207435Desmond is a whiny little faggot with a nasally voice and I can't fucking stand him. He does literally nothing but no life this game and whine on twitter.
questline's locked for pre-release accounts fuuuck
>>568207590>widest USEC wrists
Imagine if completing Ice breaker let one of the traders have access to some of the black division gear.
>>568208576What? Do I need to prestige to unlock it?
>>568208895No you had to wipe when game hit 1.0
>>568209009Ah nevermind, you're talking about pve
>>568208576Why haven't you reset?
>>568209393nice try nikita im not redoing all your garbage quests
>>568209472
>>568209472>doesn't want to wipe PVE>don't get all the new contentYour loss
>>568188795why does his head look so big
the humble larpfag comes out absolutely teeming>>568208576>>568209472PvEfags BTFO kek
>>568208576Why the fuck didnt you reset for 1.0 actual retardation, i got kappa after reset in 31 daysAtacs maxing
>>568210281Impressive, I too have won bigly on Woods right now. Both armors loaded with class 6.>>568210292>Atacs maxing>multicam rig
>>568211012i wanna run the fort gladiator okay?
>>568211224Understandable, considering Multicam Gladiators are still both bugged and don't show up on Ref.
so where exactly did you find the poster for icebreaker? I swept GZ but didn't find any. Or do I need to have Intel LVL3 before it even appears?
>>568212083Don't know about the poster but if intel is LVL3 you can skip it entirely by interacting with a radio in the intel center.
>>568210292>M-MUH ROUBLES MUHFUGGA
>>568212083Intel station 3 OR find the poster on GZ, labs or streets apparently
>>568212210I don't have Intel LVL3, that's the problem.Figured I could do the new story quest since I'm stuck on killing the cultist priest for the other ones.>>568212423So you can also get in on Streets? Great, might as well see the new FPS improvements.
>attempt to play new update>constantly getting kicked and server dropping >never happened beforegreat update bsg
so where did you find the helicopter fuel?
>>568212083I just found the poster on the main terragroups building. Next to the stairs that take you up to that reception place. Don't quote me on this, but I think it spawns for everyone, as there were a lot of dead PMCs near the spawn, but it was still there, and I could take it.
I'm so happy with this.
>>568214420oh look a rogue! bratatatatata
>>568214420Looks kinda low res
>need 3 FIR power filters if you didn't give the case to PraporEvil.
>>568213316behind pilot seat in the reserve heli
>>568215541good thing I saved them for hideout
The intel folder you need to grab from the Lighthouse hangar can bug out and despawn from your inventory. It isn't re-appearing for me at the Lighthouse spawn, either, so my fucking quest chain is softlocked. Thanks you russian niggers!
>>568215715so its random then
>icebreaker transit costs 400k roublesLMAO
>>568215541>had exactly three saved upeasy as that
>new clothing isn't in Arena yetFUUUUUCK how am I supposed to be CAG???
>>568217497that's nothin'
MP-18 with da trijicon on it
https://x.com/axel__tv/status/2058920116251688969Okay this is a pretty cool boss introduction.
>>568217953would feel guilty if i killed you ;/
>>568218175cool. I woulda shat my pants if I was there.
>>568218217no worries the rouges got meanyway how hard is it to get to icebreaker for a guy like me, do I have to complete the whole game first?
>>568218445well you have a little questline to follow, which you can probably do as long as you have unlocked traders and maps. the quest details arent clear to me yet but seems doable by anyone.
you have to meet with btr regardless. just met with him and he's checking with smugglers for free because I helped him with the skier problem. >nice
amazing, more retarded transitslopon snoreline of all places too because fuck that place in particularnice reverse midas touch niggerkita
>20 min estimated matching times for PvE woods and snorelineguess im not playing icebreaker today
>>568220530Just local host.
>>568220530works fine for me
>>568220530welp i was gonna do some tasking on streets while looking for the poster but i suppose that's not happening
>>568220876im not local hosting snoreline dude
>>568221880Offered you a solution. Guess some people just want a reason to whine.
whoever says that arena isn't OP is absolutely mentalonce you hit ref 3 at 25, you can get a radian for 65 gp, dismantle it, and sell the parts for 700kis there a better gp/roubles trade?
bring 400k for the ride there.
>>5682252982.4k yuros for exfil too.
WOW ok you mean legmeta actually works? Wtf RIP 45s in a vector cut through people instantlyhttps://streamable.com/8a8ozeAlso new item wtf is this? Got it from an airdrop on streets.
I just keep dying in the most retarded ways today, I need a break or I'm gonna go bald.
>>568226385Vector leg meta is hilariously good, you don't even need RIP, HydraShok is more than capable and is on PK3 without any quests.
hello friends my game isn't installed. did they add prestige to PvE yet?
I can't find the poster.
>>568228045Dunno, don't care
i had no idea there are cultists on shoreline
>wake up and start reading all the tasks I'll need to do icebreaker>transit in the most aids location of shorelineI think I'll just watch my big favorite streamers enjoy it while I eat hotdogs
>>568226385unless you're using them for style, you should sell your b25u'sthey're a shittier version of these grips after the attachment rework, even though they're locked behind 12 tasks and cost 3-4x more than the othersjust BSG things
>>568229237Do the B25us still change your arm positioning while aiming, letting your arms take more hits and distribute damage better? It's really just for drip, I think this grip looks cool on short weapons
>>568229568iirc they fixed the arm blocking insane amounts of damage from the torso, and I think you had to use canted sights as wellit probably still works as an "extra layer" if they try to torso you
>>568229568With rigs now enabling Class 5 plate + Class 3 aramid, and Class 6 plate + Class 3 aramid, thoraxes can be so beefy that I suspect using the arm as a buffer makes you *more* vulnerable these days, not less.
Wedge loot.We are eating GOOD.
RIPPED another one, this guy had just looted the armory or something. Tons of great ammo and a super tricked out M4 as well. That armor won't help you buddy!I was searching for posters on streets, but I guess I need to try GZ instead.https://streamable.com/i2ws0o
>>568232325>mask compatible stockhnnng
what flare do you need to exfil from icebreaker? and what else do you need apart from the 400k infil and 2.4k euro exfil?also, anyone know if this is like terminal where you can't go back once you finish it once?
I found the poster. Also, you don't need to make it out alive with it, ask me how i know.
>>568228116>>568232570>>568233872you can just buy the poster, get the chapter and sell it back
>>568234798>you can just buy the posterNo fucking way dude. I've been busting my balls here for hours.
QUICK IM IN THE TERRA OFFICES OF GZ WHERE IS THE POSTER I JUST WAXED SOME GUY IM SURE MORE ARE COMING

>>568236635Holy shit dude

>>568222924great tip anon i have been buying fuel cases and reselling that
>>568222924the problem is that gun isn't unlockable anymore for people who began playing after season 1 ended.
did not expect knight and 8 rogues to rush me in the tightest corridors ever2nd ice breaker raid will be in samurai armor with an rpd and 2 surv kits
first raid back in months. all players. still got it.
Woods is hell right now, I've run into so many squads and people doing freaky shit. Killed a level 48 running a pscavs loadout with an sks and hp rounds.
>>568251318he just has to get to the tower or the btr so he probably got angry after losing a few kits
>kill a guy>his boyfriend rats his bodyThis shit is so boring man
>>568253018You gotta get a boyfriend so if you die looting the body your boyfriend can then rat the bodies in return.
>>568253018god forbid a guy get a little havarti in the Norvinsk region
>need one more kill for TD2 and punisher 4>fuck it everyone else is being a rat so will i>spawn northern checkpoint>run to the folder>parmesan shows up for a little cheese>say fuck it and move back to northern checkpoint>look at anime titties on twitter and read manga for 15 minutes>kill a guy>his buddy throws nades>i immediately hop across the street and extractBoy was broke as fuck, I'll take my task progress. Keep your piece of shit loud m700 and level 4 plates
>parmesan even gave me an ak so i didn't have to craft itTime to spend some time fucking around on factory with an SVT and a paca
I had to transit to lighthouse because I haven't paid for it yet this prestige. I hope doing the quests for the icebreaker isn't too miserable without much gear.
AP-M out of a VPO on factory is fucking hilarious.
Please come to factory and stand still so I can finish punisher 5
Holy FUCK I'm getting so fuckign tilted in Arena FUCK:>need just one more 3rd place in CPT>have lost like 8 games in a row now>finally a game, where we are crushing the enemy team from the very start>out of fucking nowhere we go from 2-3 points being ours to 0 points being ours>go from like 900:100 to losing 1000:1200>all this while I go from 4 kdr to 0.5 kdr, acquiring a grand total of 25 assists>we end up winning 1250 to 1249>a literal millisecond prior to our victory I drop to 4th place, we win and I don't get my task doneThe second I noticed that the task did not complete, even though I had 15 captures. Almost popped a fucking bloodvessel in my head. Next game I was at steady 2.0 kdr until I had a FUCKING 18 LONG DEATH STREAK WITHOUT A SINGLE FUCKING KILL. Thank GOD we lost that match brutally, so it did not even matter that I held the first place in my team.At this point I'm just so fucking furious that I can't even hit my enemies, even though I switched to full metaslop weapons too. I will fucking bash my head against the wall until I died of a ruptured brain aneurysm or I get this fucking task done. NEVER BEFORE have I had such problems winning a game and getting 4th place. Normally my winratio is 0.5 and I get MVPs in like 1/3 of my CPT games.
>>568262378UNTIL IT BOUNCES OFF OF A FUCKING ULACH, LUCKY MOTHERFUCKER
>>568262767>even though I had 15 capturesPlace in CPT is based on kills, not captures. Captures only have an effect on overall points for MVP.
>>568263413OH for FUCK SAKES. Oh well, better to know this now than 20 CPTs later. Though, normally I get a good amount of kills while running objectives. Guess I need to force myself to just focus on kills now, so I can get off this fucking cursed state of mind.
>jiggle peeking>jumping between cover>threw a perfect nade and killed meWhat the fuck are you doin bud
>>568263824wow, what a lucky player!
>>568263824he's a quick learnerI got this little freak yesterday on streets with a lucky nade, he had 370hrs when I got himjiggle peeking, doing the back and forth jump, all the tryhard shit
>died 6 raids in a row>last two raids got 1 tapped to the thorax with rounds with 60~ damage somehowFactory is fucking strange right now.
>>568262767>another win on CPT>place FUCKING LAST ON MY TEAM>with a 3.0 KDR>EVERYONE on my team had similar kill counts and I was like 3 kills short of being first place, but ended up fucking last, even though I had the same amount of kills with those at 3rd and 4th placeHow many FUCKING hours do I need to waste to get this shit ass fucking Ref task done? I'm even raging my ass off while getting wins, since suddenly it is IMPOSSIBLE for me to place 3rd or better.
>>568265248Have you tried ignoring B, I've noticed in games where I don't try capturing it that much i get far more kills since I spend less time being dead
>>568266518What I should do would be to shut this game off and let my nerves cool down, but I'm so fucking thick skulled that I might as well just prioritize other points now. I got this fucking task done in like two tries before prestige, when I was still new to Arena. Now that I should know that I'm doing, it has become absolutely impossible for me to perform better than other people on my team.
>4 raids in a row, don't hear anyone so I just sneak and wait around for like entire raid and extract 10 sec left every time >Fuck it I am going to play aggressive to learn how to pvp >hear someone wait for them >the guy sprints to room locks on to my face and before I can shoot him he just head eye me with uzi pistol with one bullet See you next week
>>568262767>>568265248>>568266867>be this super tilted anon>just throw myself into another CPT game>stuck in Waiting for players>have been replaced with priority matching 14 times now in a rowI'm starting to get furious even while still matching into a game at this point.
>>568267593CPT sucks, just play teamfight
>>568267790I fucking SUCK at TF. Normally I do great in CPT and LH, but today seems like I straight up just suck at everything.
>>568268564Play chop shop teamfight, it's really not bad at all. I rush point and hold by the suv and barricaded car. Every other map plays too slow.
>kill a guy early in the raid>his team mates run underground>another random guy probably doing psycho sniper pushes me>kill him after a VERY awkward fight>tagilla pushes me and somehow doesn't instakill me like he did earlier so i kill him>the two guys i saw earlier spent 15 fucking minutes running around fighting scavs and apparently looting>they FINALLY run towards gate 4>oops lol that requires a key>chuck fucking nades and eventually just swing the corner >they were timmies and i killed their geared friend early in the raidFuck it dude I'll sit there the whole raid if I need task progress, rest in piss timtims. Punisher 6 shouldn't be too bad, I like the SVD. I just need to remember to stock up on t-46.
>>568268651Chop Shop TF is raped. Equator and Bay 5 play much faster now that the point opens up within like 90 seconds.
>>568269545Chop shop point used be like 20 seconds after the round start or less for a patch, now it's still pretty fast but not that bad.
Did my game bug or is bsg being fags? I did the BTR questline for icebreaker and it didn't let me on the hovercraft?
i am going to challenge myself to only use Arena weapons and gear on my next wipe/prestige to add more stake and punishment/penalty if i die and need to regear. wish me luck anons!
>>568196953Is that a woman on the right or just a homosexual
>spawn into SoT (the map I hate even more than Lighthouse)>5 seconds after spawning get headshot with the stationary grenade launcherOh boy, do I hate this fucking map so much.

>>568274230
>>568276120Oh that's just some Jap shit I thought this was the actual Tarkov guys which is why I was confused about the feminine legs
>>568275904You know you can speak like a normal human being, right?
>>568276362>noooo you can't say slopkys faggot
>>568276646I forgot, speaking like a normal human being requires you not to be a 70iq brownoid in the first place. Fuck off, freak.
>10 minute queues for PvE>was 2 minutes a week agoRussians are niggers of the fair skinned. Simple as that.
>>568276281You've got a fixation you should talk to your therapist about.

>>568278878>speaks like a 4chan newfag zoomie>reddit is a boogeyman for himWhat an NPC you are, anon.t. not the anon you are arguing with
>>568278993>ummm you're a zoomie NPCgood one nigger
>>568278751I can tell you have a complete lack of awareness.
>>568278751Anon, it's possible that you are not only gay, but also retarded
>>568279445Good talk
>>568279607If you took words to heart, it actually would be a good talk.
>>568279734I don't give a shit that you think it's weird to be surprised by a female soldier in Tarkov
>>568280194No. That's not the weird part at all. You're actually retarded.
What the fuck are these queue times. 12 minutes for fucking woods?The game is fucking dead. Do they have one server? Holy shit. I know Russians are frugal, scummy, cheating subhuman niggers but this is even below them.
>>568280515>pve problems
>>568279424Take a deep breath, calm down and then stop humiliating yourself, anon. It's time to grow up.
I'm so glad they scrapped Town and Suburbs and replaced them with PVE garbage.I wish I could refund this shit
>>568280395Wait, you're mad I insulted your console guns and balls soap opera? In a Tarkov thread?
>>568280845Are you being stupid on purpose?
>>568281042Then I have no fucking clue what's your problem Anon.I am not the "slop" poster either if that's your angle but honestly I'm not sure I care anymore
>>568281197You're so retarded you don't even know what my original point is and you went completely off the rails. When they say that civilization was invented to keep the dumbest and weakest people alive. That's referring to you.
>>568281197The problem is you are criticizing the game that I made part of my personality
get a fucking room, you homos
>>568280845What a fucking clown you are, anon. I'm pretty sure I've seen you throw a shit fit many times before in these threads.
>>568281328Man up and speak up or keep doing le epic gaslighting trolling but keep in mind the latter makes you uber-turbo-gay.
>>568281328>I just can't evenIt's time to go back
>>568281504>Man upMa'am. This is the internet. I get the internet is a big part of your ego, but it's not mine.
>it's another episode of two anons arguing like their very lives depended on itWhy waste energy on shit like "this"?
>>568282130It's more entertaining than playing Icebreaker
don't come to reserve
Not sure what the deal is, but footsteps in arena are just near silent now. Can't hear shit anymore, even with comtac VIs.
>scavs brought be a labrys folderDidn't know that was possible
>>568283981>S&M buttslave and the two guys he hired to fuck him in the ass
>>568285661>mad cuz he doesn't have anyone to fuck him in the ass
So yeah. Tried going to ice breaker and got instagibbed by Knight. I don't think I have the stomach or the funds to keep risking $500k plus a loadout.
>BTRbro tells you how to directly access Icebreaker without transitingImagine siding with that faggot Skier ever lmao.
>>568291575skier and prapor should both be strung up by their entrails
>>568292276Same with Therapist. Mechanic and BTR driver are true bros.
Fug been hitting the icebreaker quests all day with a bro and we've just turned in the oil to brapor. Very fun raids all around though, Reserve was super fucking fun. Basically every time we would just trap squads inside the helicopter kek. Also found RB-VO on glukhar so we made tons of money.
>>568291575His task is also far easier if you haven't completed the line. 10 kills in a smugglers camp instead of a bunch of bullshit on reserve.
I haven't gone to shoreline at all but the icebreaker transit looks so fucked. Are people just camping the shit out of it or what? Anyone got experience?
>last part of icebreaker unlock>BTR nowhere to be seen six raids in a rowfuck off with this shit
>>568291575how?
I have like 5 plate cases and I need to do some cleaningwhich plates are the shitty ones, ceramic? throw away anything below 75% of the original?
>>568294221I don't know the details, but after reaching a certain point on Icebreaker you can talk to the BTR driver who gives you a questline for direct access to Icebreaker.
When you complete icebreaker, do you get an event specific achievement for doing so?
>>568300489fuckkk okay fine I'll start the questline.
This quest line, like all quest lines in Tarkov, is fucking horrible. Why have they locked Icebreaker through this shit? Just give us the map to play on you fucking faggots. Literally have to crawl through literal faeces just to actually have fun in this game.
>get to engine room>immediately get gangeapedwhat do
>>568305789I think the only ways to cheese them is to use smokes or to RPG/grenade launcher them. They literally kill you the moment they see you, so. They're probably going to get nerfed in the coming days. We'll see.
>Icebreaker releases>absolutely no one caresImagine how much fun we could be having on a new pvp map instead of a retarded pve dungeon no one asked for
I'm confused why everyone is crying about AI in icebreaker. I've been watching streamers all day and they're solo full clearing the map back to back. Is the average /etfg/ user as bad as reddit and twitter users? Fuckin sad m8
>>568305789>>568306093Engine room is doable consistently, I've seen people doing it at the bottom level.It's the part after the helipad that's just impossible
>>568306261What's the most egregious thing to me is the AI. 11 years in development and you can't make good AI that aren't just braindead bots that you have to cheese? Video games 20 years ago had way better AI than this.
who the fuck is this?
>>568306261Cope PVP tranny, Icebreaker is kino.
>>568306261PVE chads stay winningkino!
>have fight outside pier>retreat to pack a mag >grenade flies at me from inside pier and airbursts my ass back to stash>this fucking cheating ni->Sanitar threw a grenade at me trough the window?????????
>kill 6 black division with 1 RPG in engine room>feelsgood>get to next section40mins is not fucking enoughalso we need to be able to shoot out the lights, its too dark without NVGs and the lights fry your eyes
>>568310154They should just give you unlimited time on that map honestly
>>568310154i think nadespam is good for the helipad>>568306608problem is you can't have AI too complex or the servers just can't take it in a game like this
>>568303275Still haven't gotten this answered..
>>568305003Pathetic retard. Unlocking the labyrinth takes more time than icebreaker.
>>568314932Labyrinth is dogshit as well
>>568312781There are two Icebreaker achievements and two usual boss achievements for Wedge. Pretty sure they're not event achievements.
so what's the /v/erdict on icebreaker so far bros
https://www.twitch.tv/pestily/clip/AltruisticEnthusiasticWaterOSkomodo-bHdkUFRp_qJUgBTK
>>568316056Alright cool. I can go ahead with prestiging, then.>>568317989I wish you were able to access it from the map selection screen. Honestly could say that about the other transit maps, too.
>>568318436lowkirk he fumbles not shooting him right away, technically he peaked the same corner twicestill way too fast tho
>>568317989game is going to back to hemorrhaging players soonthey should either add a way to unlock access to transit maps in the main menu or give the game the coupe de grace and force transits between all mapsfuture content like the reserve d2 bunker or labyrinth 2.0 in ground zero or whereever it is are going to be the same bullshit
>>568318824you can access it from the map after some questing with the btr
>>568307229The Bogatyr squad commander
No wonder he wears a mask.
>>568318824>Honestly could say that about the other transit maps, tooBoth Terminal and Labyrinth make sense as to why you can't access them directly from the map. >>568318436The AI just does this sometimes. Fucking Gus did this to me at Lexos the other day, too. I'm pretty sure that they lock onto you through the wall bypassing the time they need to increase their accuracy on you through seeing you normally.
>>568310154>40mins is not fucking enoughI'm not actually sure why a pure pve map even has a time limit. My best guess would be be server space, though.
>more twitch drop slop>old ones still keep coming back even after you prestige>there's so many of them you can't realistically open them all, you have to sell 90% of what's insideI dunno about this one anons
Dear lord. Tarkov general is dead.
You can now buy scar17 uppper.https://x.com/domontovich/status/2059221539984220165?s=20
>>568337001Considering the general playerbase, and this general, do nothing but fucking whine and bitch constantly it's not really a bad thing.
>>568336969saar, don't redeem the common and rare boxes
>>568337206Hopefully he'll put the AR-15 Geissele SMR MK16 13.5 inch M-LOK handguard (DDC) my beloved on traders as well.
>>568328293>server spacethe amount of people who'd just fuck around in raid for three hours is likely too low to make a difference, if it was unlimited people would still fuck off after half an hour because their bag is full, they're out of ammo, or they're just getting bored. you'd have one guy farming bots for XP and streamers would stay for six hours trying to find easter eggs but the servers are big enough.My guess is they either don't want to bother implementing it for just one map, or Unity is such a shit engine it's literally impossible to have a raid last longer than an hour or so without something breaking, and that's also why we never got those forever raids Nikita was talking about all those years ago. It could have been a silly event, you make Factory persistent, everyone gets assigned a single server each day or until they ask for a new one, and if you die instead of insurance you just go right back in with a Toz and grab what's left of your shit like in that jungle game.
How much ammo do you need for Ice Breaker?
>>568337206this guy has been pretty good with these so far. someone should harass him daily to put out more changes like this. if you want anything obscure to be buyable, this guy might do it for you.
You can craft smokes now. Probably to help not getting camp.
>>568338675I think it's for Icebreaker, I've heard they're good against BDs.
>>568336969>old ones still keep coming back even after you prestigedon't they eventually expire?
>>568337951eventually you would have to cull dead bodies, items, debris, etc or the game would explodethere was a shitty tarkov clone called project1337 that did something similar with persistent raids that had people coming in and out
>>568340198No, they stay in your inbox, they don't have a timer. Same with promocode stuff and things you bring with you when you prestige. You can keep them in your inbox and use it as a stash extension
Is it true that if you go through enough of the BTR tasks, you can go to Icebreaker for free?
>>568343665I've been looking into it but yeah, you need to do pretty much the whole quest and save the captain first I think
Just prestiged and can't get the tutorial to load because of 1000 backend error. Every video I can find on it some some ai slop with the same useless information. Anyone know how to fix?
>>568343665i don't know about free but you can access it through the map, still costs money though
>>568344513prob the svs are f'd
>>568344513alt f4 and try agane :)
2 days of play, 2 ricochets off PMCs's Death Shadow masks
Fascinating choice of armor plates.
>>568360553has anyone done the yellow flare for the icebreaker quest, I dont know what Im doing wrong, I know how to fire flares but the quest doesnt progress, does the transit need to unlock?
>they removed some items from Collector>evasion armband still requiredFUUUUCK
>time to do great heights part 4 again after prestige>check my stats of late>winrate in CPT has been hovering above 0.5, so I should be fine>have now failed the task 7 times in a rowAight. Cool. Not gonna lie, I'm starting to get pretty fucking mad.
>they added gas grenades to the game>check wiki>not lootableSo fucking gay. I bet gas masks don't even protect from them.
>spray entire mag on some dude at something like 10m>Red dot constantly on him>He obviously domes me>Box says 4 hitsDo bullets actually come from your gun or is it actually like counter strike and anything past the third one goes wherever the fuck according to RNG, movement speed and the phases of the moon
>>568364198And before someone tells me to switch to TF: no, I fucking suck at TF. The only game mode where I shine and constantly place at the top of our team is CPT (and LH, but that does very little for me now). Too bad it's impossible to carry so hard in CPT that you could win the whole game for your team.
>>568363717I bet the new items are required.
>>568362430didnt mean that quote and I am so retarded I've been firing the flare at the lighthouse transit instead of the woods one
>my team is losing brutally in CPT>I'm doing everything in my power to hold onto our last point>quite literally killed the whole enemy team like two times solo there, while the rest of my team was unable to capture empty points on the map>kill the enemy team's top player with that seasonal spiked helmet on (plus a metaslop weapon) a couple of times, don't even think much of it, since I was so preoccupied keeping myself alive>finally he manages to rush and dome me>screams into his mic that I should kill myselfPeople like those should take a long look in the mirror from time to time. We were losing like fucking 10:1 and I was using an ash-12 too. Was pretty baffled, when I heard him telling me to kill myself via voip.
>>568367959Did your guys have weird weapons, sometimes when we're clearly getting ass-fucked I just switch to guns I hate to level them or start leveling some skills for EFT like slow walking or mag drills
>>568369136All my builds are pretty meme-tier, so I always use non-metaslop stuff. Scout is my only except, with him I just run Vector + PBP or whatever the fuck that cartridge was.
>>568369449>ash-12>not metalol
>>568370531Is it really? I feel like it's way too unreliable and high recoil to be meta, but what do I know. I at least feel like getting kills with shit like model 1 and NL454 is MUCH easier.
>>568371445it's really not, this is the current arena metaslop:assault: HK416, NLGP, ASVALscout: vector, SR3M, UZIenforcer: RPDN, S12Kmarksman: RSASS, TRG
>>568371445>>568372801Anyone using the word slip regularly is a fuckwit so I wouldn't expect you to know that it was strong enough that they nerfed ps12b last update. The ash-12 is extremely powerful but requires very slightly more effort than the top tier guns making it less popular.>he thinks sako is meta>specifically lists the rsass when the three main dmrs are 100% interchangeable Nigger you're a fucking moron.
>>568376007>slipThat's what I get for phone posting at retards. Slop is overused and moronic and you are a retard if you use it to describe everything you dislike.

>freshly prestiged>get my hands on some cl 6 armor>put it on>first raid>get lasered through thorax with m995Like fucking pottery.
>>568378834That's why you bring it to low level gz and do whatever you want.
>doing tasks on Customs>have like 4 different task items with me and three tasks require me to survive the raid>get facetapped by a pscav after getting just barely through the raid, having expended all my medsI fucking hate Customs so much it's unreal. You just can't catch a fucking break on that piece of a shit map.
Bought the game and spent 3 entire hours with the game not working. I think Nikita Buyanov should be raped by a pack of rabid ukrainians and then perhaps gypsies. Maybe dogs too.
>>568384129So trve xister
>doing Customs, low level still>been using all the shit I've gotten off of my kills>had like 10 different cl 5 armors in my inventory and some big backpacks too>have gotten domed every raid without even the slightest chance of even fighting backI'm now pretty much running in naked. Every raid I manage to mark one tigr, before someone headshots me. I guess I'll just deathspam all my tasks there.I guess there's something I don't "get" about Customs. It feels like an impossible map to survive even a single raid in.
>>568384640Also, I've now died like 10 raids in a row. Had a shitty time in Arena prior to hopping into EFT, but man, is this some fucking bullshit. Not like a single accidental survive, it's just all instantly getting headshot every raid.
>>568384965>next raid>rush dorms to get the machinery key, since you can't buy that off flea anymore for some fucking reason>get inside, quickly some PMC follows me>manage to drop him>Reshala and his guards immediately rush me and I'm torn into piecesThat's 11 raids died in a row now.
>>568385379How are you dying to boss guards? I killed glukhar and his whole squad with a 1x ak wearing a paca.
>>568386075>go inside, hear absolutely nothing>get rushed by a setup doing pmc, who blacks out all my limbs>Reshala's guards rush my position and I die to a singular arm shotThat's how.
Fuck labyrinthFuck terminalFuck icebreakerFuck end of the lineThis dogshit game will be dead by the end of the year
>>56838537912th death in a row:>just barely escape from a decked out trio at the start>spend the raid just looting around and legit hiding>a LOT of fighting at fort, saw three different squads wrestling each other there>wait until 8 minutes left and rush dorms to get the machinery key>see a lot of bodies on the stairs, don't think much of it, since haven't heard anything going on there since the start of the raid>die to an instant headshot to a dude proning midst the bodies on the stairsWhy the fuck am I even playing this piece of a shit game? I've spent like 6 hours playing this and Arena today, been just pretty much fuming from my head the whole time. Not even going full fucking rat and legit hiding from combat works, I just die still to an instant headshot.
>>568388183I've now officially expended all my:>backpacks bigger that scavbps>all my armors (even cl 4s)>all my guns>all the grizzlys I've found, since I can't buy them from the flea yet (like 3)>all my good ammo>even all my not so good 5.45 and 5.56 ammo (PP, M885 etc.)Should I just bash my head against the wall and double down or quit the game? Surely, if I do an infinite number of raids I'll eventually converge on my normal 50% SR. SURELY?!
>>568384129>>>/sharty/
>>56838856913th raid was the thing, it seems. It only required me to kill four different PMCs and a single PMC geared pscav to survive once. Did not even get my tasks done, since the fighting took me so long that I was unable to reach any of my task objectives in the end.
>You know what Tarkov needs?>pve dungeons against the worst AI in video game history
>>568392558If this game had actually good AI, I would just play PvE. Too bad the AI is retarded and the devs are trying to tape fix it by turning them into predictable aimbots.
>>568392558I mean icebreaker is some of the best content in the game currently. the map is objectively the best map they've released. if you can't wiggle peak or prefire corners you're gonna get fucked. You tarkovtards are so used to standing in the open with your death masks spraying timmies you don't know how to play against fucking npcs. Maybe you'll learn to play differently instead of bitching and crying on every forum imaginable when all it does it show that you can't beat AI. Also please observe all the dogshit streamers who are managing to clear the map despite being shit at the game.
>>568397436His response (if he responds at all) will be something along the lines of>hurrrr i play the game for pvpwhen it's certain that he's a dogshit tourist faggot who's just here to bitch and whine and shit up the thread.
four (4) kitted dudes on the shoreline smugglers camp trying to get kills, ONLY ONE scav spawnedthis shit is premeditated, and it sucks. there used to be a million scavs on that little spot and now there is none
>>568398742I gave up on unlocking it now because both smuggler camps have like 8 dudes camping around them the entire raid and even if you get a good spawn you get like 2 scavs tops.
>>568397436>it's objectively some of the best content in the gameby what metric? Don't think you understand what objectively means, esl monkey.>maybe you're just mad because badI'd rather chew on glass than play PVE Tarkov I haven't even downloaded the update lmao.
>>568402213lmfao thanks for proving my point. now you need to get on reddit and make a post telling everyone wedge is too hard!
>I LOVE Tarkov PVP, but I would NEVER EVER EVER EVER play Arena.
>>568406103im lvl 41 without ever going on a single raid
>>568406103Arena PVP is shit compared to the base game because it has no inertia and the armor/ammo balance is extremely fucky. Only niggers enjoy arena in it's current state.
>>568406461I still have no idea what the fuck is the thought behind class balance on ArenaIt makes less and less sense with every update
The only use arena has is being a gp coin farm. I just do the dailies and that’s it. No idea why anyone would stick around afterwards. The game is fucking terrible.
Excuse me Nikita what the FUCK is this shit?
>>568408018I thought it was bugged, but apparently the mouse 1 button gets darker when you have to press
dead thread dead game
>>568406103i exclusively play pve and i like arena, but not regular pvp. arena is so far removed from pvp, you have to really see it as a tarkov-themed cod/counter strike clone. no i will still not do regular pvp i am a big pussy when it comes to risky pushes and have no patience rebuilding kits on death. pushing is fun on arena though there's no risk
That’s what’s so weird about it…
>icebreaker>it's just trial and error slop until you find the right spot to cheese black divI don't know what I was expecting
>>568423626That’s a really gay way to play the game. I don’t even know why you would play Tarkov. It’s a buggy retarded mess but the fighting against other players makes up for it. It’s like gambling. But in PvE, the ai is either retarded or are laser beams that just rape you instantly. There is no fun to be had with it. If you want a game where it’s military/PMC focused with cool guns and stuff but the ai isn’t totally a piece of dog shit, try the metal gear solid series. You’re wasting your time playing the PvE mode on Tarkov.
>>568431389i don't play tarkov for challenge, i play to relax and vibe out. i like listening to music, audiobooks, and podcasts on the side, maybe even anime or a show. you cannot do this in pvp. many casuals are like this: the game is sandbox in this way not a thrill, or at least, a controlled thrill as i am not so good at shooting but have fun anyway even against ai. i have died to scavs. i like to collect, explore, walk around, and then have non-serious pvp in arena where i use meme guns and meme builds. there can be such simple joys in video games anon, a wonder of innocence like that of a child than some meta competitive gamer
I hate how they only give us 40 minutes on the map. I am unc status, fucking niggita
Can I do wounded beast if I only bring pistol to be tagged ? I am so sick of waiting 40 min to get 1 scav at best
I stopped playing for a bit, what's that weird icon that pops up sometimes. I thought it was to show in which direction the loot is by which quadrants are lit but when it doesn't always appear and when it does it's not really actually pointing to loot, sometimes it shows me a wall and there's nothing on the other side of it
>>568430320Yeah, just like Terminal when it just released. I'm just gonna wait until they nerf the AI.
>>568440003Descuck already messaged nikita about it. No plans on nerfing them
>>568440758>trusting anything niggita saysHe'll fold like always and nerf them.
I will keep getting run throughs because I don't want to run across the fucking map to pier
>>568430320>trial and error slopyou le learn the map... and learn the enemy..... to le beat them???? holy sloppa
>>568438753quest item interact indicator
>>568430320just do thishttps://www.twitch.tv/alle/clip/FunGiftedBearNerfBlueBlaster-BbJPKDbyZ6t3maZC
It does suck that icebreaker was wasted on what is just a labyrinth loot run but with bots that rape you instantly. They could’ve actually made it more cinematic with events that happen in raid, and the bots behave like actual operators. Maybe even structuring it so you don’t have to kill everyone for black division to arrive so when they come, it would just be a huge firefight between black division and the goons and their rogue bodyguards. Just an absolute waste all around.
Based, I got the menu map BTR quest line without having to kill the damn boss. All you need to do is get to the mechanic and prapor explosive part. Meet BTR and he gives it to you.
>>568415731That's fucking retarded
Yea, this new workout mechanic is utter fucking trash if it's not a genuine bug. It's entirely unclear on exactly how dark the M1 button needs to be for a successful rep. If this is an intentional design change whoever made it needs to be beaten over the head with a dumbbell.
>>568445189Huh i thoought you had to talk with the scienstist after you found the ship captain
>>568452658Guess they changed it
>Arena update is out>new clothes are still not in Arena
What is an item with frequent price fluctuations on the flea market (like the ES lamp, which goes from 17k to 26k and back in the span of 5 minutes)? I wanna play jew sim while I'm at work.
>>568457097Even worse, my arena clothing desynced from the base game. Until arena updates again I'm not gunna drop the 10+ mil that sync was saving me.
>>568457210Propane, Fuel Conditioner, and Dry Fuel are needed in large quantities for the Red Rebel barter.White Tape, Blue Tape, and Nails are needed in large quantities for the SICC case barter.Many of these items tend to sell out by players pursuing these during low pop hours.Paracord is also needed, but now that they can be kept in the Special slots, I'm not sure players need theirs refilled as often - I sure don't.
I’ll just raid until it gets opened as a regular pvp map.
>>568458789I’ll just wait*
>>568457735I've been desynced for a long fucking time, I'm missing my prestige 4 shirt, 1.0 preorder clothing, and, mystifyingly, ONLY the EOD upper, while having the pants. Maybe it's because I'm on a different faction in Arena, but it's still weird.
>>568457210what the other anon said, also you need billion ES lamps for the hideout and have no crafting recipe so whenever a handful of people are working toward those upgrades at once, they tend to sell out pretty quickyou should also check the crafts for popular ammos types like the .308 as the fairly common items needed to craft them are always in high demand
>>568457735>>568458971I opened up a support ticket a few days ago, got a reply saying they're aware of the issue and will reimburse the stuff if you buy duplicatesI wouldn't trust they'll refund everything correctly though
CODES: BACKTORAID / POWER / ROGUESET / 007ATHOME
>>568460249I filed a ticket but didn't get anything back. I'll just wait until it's unfucked since I have plenty of other clothing anyway
>>568463283Always open tickets via "report bug" in the launcher, website takes weeks to get a reply
>>568463696That's what I did.
>>568464379Huh, that's weird, I usually get a response within 1-2 days
If Nikita were based he would add the HK21 when he finally gets around to adding the G3.
Am I based or pozzed for mainly using 12 gauges with piranha shells
>>568468017Kiiinda pozzed because shotguns are ineffective as shit unless you’re going for leg meta in which case you can use express shells which are like 60 roubles a piece and you can just rape anyone instantly
>>568468895Piranha/flechette melts armor super fast, I usually play kinda slow and get the jump on people if I can. Works well, they either die in one shot or I empty the mag and they die with zero'd plates
>>568469529Hmm. To be fair, sounds like you’ll get more value out of if you did use express shells if you’re playing a more ambushy-stalker type of playstyle. Not only in terms of ammo bought but also in terms of the value of the gear from the people you kill. And from my experience, aiming for the legs does kill people faster. But at the end of the day if it works for you, it works for you.
>>568442782correctis this the episode where we pretend to be retarded?
>Shoreline SBIH done in 2 raidsBased event, smugglers' base is free kills now.
BOMBACLAT the engine room is the ultimate filter
>>568473279for me it's the rogues deciding to just tap my facei can usually kill them just fine but today has been fucking awful>sanitar has been at pier 5/5 times>guard head,eyes'd me twice>general attrition every time i kill them>get into icebreaker and clear the top floor>downstairs rogues one-tap me like the BD bossesim still making money off the stims and rare loot but come on
>>568473279Redpill me on the engine room. I've not seen any gameplay but people keep bringing it up like it's the coming of satan.
>>568473279It didn't occur to me to bring an rpg to icebreaker. Guess I'll go finish off art of explosion

>going for lighthouse docs >spawn at southern roadand I'll simply lay down with my aquamarine and wait for the last 4 minutes of raid. Surely no one will be in the raid that long... right??
>>568476948>and I'll simply lay down with my aquamarine and wait for the last 4 minutes of raidwhy are tasks even in the game? optimal way of doing them is either this or jumping on a dead server, feel like you wouldn't really have anyone doing this if they just removed the "survive and extract" shit
>>568477506Why are you even playing a pvp game if opposition is such a problem for you?
>>568477995i like pvp, i dont like shitty time wasting tasks
>>568478384>he likes pvp>he doesn't want to go do tasks that take him to areas with pvpReeks of bullshit to me
>>568478541not seeing the contradiction
>>568478756That's because you're a retard
>>568478880also it doesn't even make any sense as half of the tasks don't take you to pvp areas
>>568476948the main issue is lighthouse, spawning at the southern side is either a death sentence or wait in line until everyone leaves kinda thing
How does this mush mouthed plastic whore have 10,000 viewers? What the fuck is wrong with twitch viewers?

>>568480174I had a Pestily stream on while doing other things, but when he went offline Twitch just auto moved me into that whore's stream.And yeah, I've been too lazy to update my Twitch stream auto watcher, since the old version has become obsolete once again.
What am I missing with Arena's sound system? Even with proper ears (Comtac V-VI or Liberators) it feels like I'm constantly getting jumped by 100% silent enemies just walking or running from behind corners.Do I have something off with my settings or...? I can't rely on sound at all and feel like playing with a heavy helmet lets me hear just as much as with actives on.
>>568481401>What am I missing with Arena's sound system?You're not missing anything. I have no idea what they did but I can't hear shit either. I think they fucked with the sound in the most recent big update. While wearing comtac VIs I had a guy sprinting inside my asshole and I didn't hear him.
>>568478541>pvp areastranslation: places where you have to stick your neck out to complete tasks while other players are solely out to pvp
>>568478541PVP is fun when it happens organically, not because everyone is tryharding to get a PVP quest done in a particular area they wouldn't have went to without a PVP quest telling them to.
>>568483446This. Fucking hate doing shit like "Go into this hotspot and look at a wall while having use key pressed down for 30 seconds". Just pure suffering while playing solo.
>>568481401>>568482221they've fucked with the soundeverything is super muffled, especially when there's some fucking retard mag dumping a lmg on the other side of the map
when are they fixing bullet cracksi dont understand how a "realistic" hardcore multiplayer FPS game doesn't have properly working gunfight sounds, i don't even see people complain about this like i do with other stuffseems like a massive issue to me considering how misleading it is
The rogues spawning on reserve was a better event than this shit. Why can’t we have more events like those.
I think I'll just hold off on Icebreaker until they inevitably nerf Wedge and BD to the point they become absolute pushovers, as was the case with all previous "hard" AI.
>>568484915What? You don't like having to endure constant heart attacks from hearing bullet snapping sounds due to the sound effect going through everything on the map?
Need two CPT wins in a row, hence my match history looks like this:>win>loss>win>loss>win>loss>win>loss>win>lossI'm TRULY expected value the man here.
lmao lightkeeper
>RysT>AA12 with magnum buckshot>Hard techno/hardcore playlist onIt's go time.
>>568489702It's still continuing. Quite literally a perfect 0.5 winratio currently spread out with perfect precision. Constant win, loss, win, loss, win, loss, win, loss. Just got matched with a completely retard team, had almost 20 captures, while 2 guys on my team had 0. We would capture B and then all of my teammates would just camp B, while enemy help two empty points constantly.Why is it so hard to prioritize points on CPT? If you don't give a fuck about the objectives, why not just run TF or LH?
>moan>bitch>bitch>moanYou faggots will literally never be happy.
wedge? more like CRINGE hahaha
>>568497257delete this
Anyone have any gen4 fits? I'm trying to decide if I want gen4, scavtac, or gold squad
>>568496763Hey, I was just hyping myself for some magnum buckshot action here.
https://x.com/UnknownImo3/status/2059673729605714379Honestly think everyone might just be bad this seems pretty easy to me
I "like it" how the most effective way to do tasks is to just fucking do absolutely nothing most of the raid. Currently have a bunch of Customs tasks and I'm proning inside that building with the power switch. Saw some turbo sweat run around with an attack bp and had a good chance of killing him, but it wasn't worth it.
>>568502567chads don't look up, black division can't look down
>>568502980It is really annoying that if you have any quests that need you to stay alive you should just camp near spawn for 10 mins before doing anything.
>>568502980I thought this way for the longest time until I realized either way I'll die with quest items or gear and either way I'll be booting up lighthouse or customs or some bullshit. Now I just gun it to tasks if I run into players I fight if not I get the quest done. It's a lot more respectful of my own time. Plus at this point in the wipe you should have an excess amount of roubles to have however many kits you need. Or just run paca and pistol. Either way respect your own time bro.
>>568502567it's a bug where you prone in that hallway and they can't hit you. all the streamers are doing it. definitely gonna get patched.
>>568503686I just prestiged and lost like 100 million rubles worth of a stash, so now I'm once again inclined to do fuck all in raids until I can get enough buffer money and trader rep. I'm so fucking outgunned currenty.
>>568504218I just play streets and loot duffels+ammo rooms and scav reserve for money and ammo. I barely loot as my pmc even when low level unless it's completely safe.
>>568504218I mean realistically you can outplay any player with a mosin just click the head or run glock with GT and blast the shit out of them. Anyway tarkov isn't really about gunplay for kills anyway. map knowledge or movement will win you more fights (except on labrynth and labs)
Oh how I FUCKIGN love getting HEADSHOT by the stationary grenade launcher on SoT like 25 minutes into the raid. Took a peek, managed to make out someone on the launcher and then immediately died to a fucking head, eyes grenade launcher shot form a boss guard.Heard the fucking launcher go off so many times throuhgout the raid and was 100% sure that some poopsock had already cleared the area, but noooo.
>>568504597To me it feels like everyone I face already has thousands of hours worth of map knowledge and every encounter boils down into who can click the head the fastest after an info peek. Only map where other than headclicking is effective is Woods, maybe sometimes on Snoreline.All my engagements go like this:>see a pixel move>said mobile pixel does an info peek>we both start our stupid fucking ritual of info peeking, jump baiting and eventually circle strafing while performing tactical leans all the while mag dumping each other>both of us try to abuse the peeker's advantage as hard as possible
I really think they fucked some code up because every once in a while youll get insta-headshotted by a non-player scav with a some rusty saiga 9, like they accidentally have boss AI
>disable HDCP via regedit>both EFT and Arena stopped stuttering immediatelyWhat. The. FUCK?! Why would that even affect Tarkov? I'm happy, sure, but I've been suffering with stuttering for years thinking it was just because of my mediocre rig.
does anyone else have the problem where when you load into a map it might be weird and almost stuttery for a while? it always seems to go away when i enter my inventory or open the options menu, though it might take a few minutes after the raid starts for that to actually workseems to happen on streets 100% of the time and occasionally other maps, it's not low fps or anything like that, i've never had this issue in a game beforei need to make a vid of it, it's kind of hard to describe the weird effect
>three scavs at the interchange camp in an entire raidYou can't tell me they didn't lower the spawn rates at the smugglers camps.
>>568513960if you're not getting north resort spawn you're not getting the scavs
>>568514235>interchangeI'll try shoreline if this raid doesn't have any fucking scavs at the camp again.
>>568513960>>568514235>>568514421i don't think i've ever killed a smuggler in about 300 hours, i've killed the goons multiple times, tagilla and that guy on streets with the magic melee weapon
>>568514421you'll get more players than scavs there tbdesu
Just did a few run of icebreaker and I can confirm that the economy of this wipe is officially done forEvery runs yield millions and hundreds of 55a1
>need gzhel-k at 0-50% >get gzhel-k in cultist circle>100% thanks...
Anyone know how to fix stutter if anyone enters your optics? It hits hard on shoreline, woods, streets, and lighthouse. and I mean ONLY when people walk into your optics. I've lost so many times because my game just freezes
What a shitshow that was:>hear someone fighting Kollontay at the mil academy building>see him just crouching outside, so aim at his head and put a 5.45 BP inside his skull>instead see sparks flying off of his ULACH and he changes position>he plays super aggressive and obviously knows what he is doing>fish him out of his cover with a grenade>he puts an M855A1 inside my head, but I don't die somehow, instead get a light bleed on my head with 1 hp left and my head turns black>he peeks from behind an ambulance, I put another 5.45 BP inside his head>see another set of sparks flying off of his ULACH and hear his PMC cry out in pain>was 100% sure he had died now>go check>no body, somebody starts drilling me through the vehicle I'm using as cover>just say FUCK IT, since I had the loot of another PMC with me and run for the exfilHopefully that dude appreciates how fucking lucky he just got. I don't even know how I'm alive, since I took that bullet to the head so hard that I ended up with a black head.
>>568517230And this is how it will go:>streamers and poopsocks run it to make gorillion rubles, while also stockpiling on BIS ammo>wagies like me can't go there yet>BSG ends up nerfing it to the ground, since people who play this game like their job learn all the ins and outs of the map and start farming itMark my words.
So is it basically impossible to beat Icebreaker solo without cheese/rocket launchers?
whose idea was it that a rocket launcher is permitted IN A BOAT this breaks my immersion
>>568520124I mean like, the streamers seem to be doing fine there. Sure, the AI is absolutely fucking overtuned and domes you in a nano second from time to time when you are doing info peeks, but still.
>>568517363i decided to just buy it from the flea for 1.4millionwonder if you can actually make decent money doing that, probably not worth given the time investment though
>>568521817>next quest is to do the same shit again with a different armor set that seemingly can't be bought on flea haha great stuff, love the tasks in this game
>>568517794werks on my machine but they did seem to fix ram leak as far as i can tell. haven't needed to restart the game at all
>crosshair on mans head>bullet just doesn't do shit>dump 4 more rounds into his chest>haha lol everyone has 6 plates fuck your LPS>he whips around and instantly head,eyes me with the first roundThis game is so fucking frustrating.
>heh you pve sissies have it too easy with AI see how a real man like me plays>zomg the ai is too stronk in icebreaker i have no splints and must cheese peek nikita save me!!make up ur mind
>>568523052>6 rouge++ dudes swarm out at once>comparable to a pmc ai by itself or sometimes in a duo
>>568523328>responding to obvious low quality bait
I've changed my mind about the SVD. This thing is pissing me off. You can't get worthwhile ammo for it unless you're buying R BT off of Ref. You need PS to craft R BT but you don't get a reliable source of PS until you fucking finisher Punisher 6 and at that point who gives a shit anymore? T-46 and LPS just isn't cutting it. Of the last 3 guys I fought the first one took 17 rounds before dying because he had 6 plates and the two after that killed me after eating at least 6 rounds each. At least I could run 50+ pen rounds reliably while doing TD3 and Punisher 4.
>>568523934snb out the ass if you play any streets at all.
I chose gen4. Looks good in game.
>>568466609stealing this image haha
>>568530029https://x.com/pup_kino6764/status/2059625997180563645Here's the artist for the full resolution image.
>>568530268Holyyyy what a treat. Thanks!
>>568525871I have some but I didn't think I'd need to run it. Apparently I need to top my first mag off with R BT or SNB cuz holy fuck I was fuming at those deaths. 54r is a big fucking round it's insane how shit it feels in tarkov.
PvE is terrible in this game. Why did they make a map focused on PvE? This would be one of the best maps if they had focused on PvP instead. It would be so much cooler than abusing the ridiculous AI enemies who either kill you in 0.1 seconds or are completely pathetic. Nikita is wrong if he thinks that anyone actually needs PvE in this game for its own sake, and not just to slow down player movement, drain their resources, and reveal their position.
>PVP trannies seething because they didn't get a third aspie playground to abuse desync and peekers advantage against each otherlollmao even
>>568533276>pvp in these tight corridorsyeah no lmao
>playin streets>spot pscav looting a crate>shoot his leg off>go awayI feel like this is worse than killing him, because now he's gotta limp his way to an extract or disconnect
More 416 parts please
>>568541432I want that foregrip for picatinny rails but flipped the other way like the M-LOK version.
>>568338347It depends on the caliberIf it's not 5.56, then a lot. Just a little less than on the terminal.If it is 5.56, then not that much, because you just grab magazines from Blackdiv and stay in huge profit.
i love the dvl so much. it really is my favorite gun in the game.
>>568544651I want more covert bolties like that, the CS5 from battlefield 4 would fit just right in here god I love that rifle so much
>>568466609if he were based he would add the HK33 at the same time
>>568545415here is your airsoft aftermarket parts for M4s and a QBZ with 0 attachments for it
>kill several level 50s in a row>all USUCCfucking Niggita and his goddamn Lighthouse rogue mechanics
>>568548135Trophies is such a gay quest now because of prestige changes, I wrote in the recent survey they should change that shit, I hope they adjust it.
>outskirts extract 20 raids in a row What the fuck is this bullshit
finally checking out the main story questline here. why the fuck would you give prapor the case other than the achievement? that whole loop of objectives looks so miserable
>>568549865> why the fuck would you give prapor the case other than the achievement?Money plus some other quest become easier
> Every streamer is abusing the hallway leaning bug I fucking hate this gameThis is gay as fuck
Do you need to start the Boreas quest to take the transit to Icebreaker?
>>568549865You unlock Lightkeeper way faster.
>>568549865>>568552334You also lose 0.3 Prapor rep if you don't give him the case.
>>568549865i skipped like two or three quests getting to icebreaker by giving him the case too.
>>568172605Does buying stash on the website also increase your hideout stash level?Like, say I were to buy 4 additional lines, will my stash block in my hydeout be upgraded permanently?
>>568554197>pve
Hmm, I'm feeling Tarky again. I have to go to an internet cafe to update it because I can't at home. I wish Arena and normal Tarkov shared files instead of being two 70GB games.
>>568561016well yeah icebreaker is a pve map
>New technical patch fixed the hallway prone lean and the vault to bypass wedge floorlmao
>>568557705ANSWER ME CUNTS FUCK SHIT CUINT
>notice my name get changed>try and log into website>email not found>goddamnit what the fuck>no email from BSG telling me the process had been initiated or that a new IP logged in>no verification code email either>send in support request to get account back (Yeah right like that's gonna ever get looked at)>Open the launcher the next morning, I can still get into the game>He's in a run with a party of 2 people, it kicked him out>I abandon the raid so he's dead, start deleting my stash and then get authentication errors a couple minutes later when he relaunches>continue to fight back and forth like this>send a message to the accounts he added to play with and receive a bunch of tianamen square copypasta back trying to kick me off the internet>keep going back and forth with login fights, manage to get one of them to add me on discord and talk to him there where he admits it was bought on a third party seller>I already screenshot every in-game message, I screenshot the discord conversation, the profile, and then thank him for providing evidence>he panic deletes all his messages, I give him a copy of the screenshot I took>log back in this morning and delete all insurance returns and the kappa for good measure
>>568566450no it won't, it adds the slots on top of it
im having a blast
Do BDs on Icebreaker have a different loot pool or something? I've never seen any screenshots of people extracting with the Siege-R and grey LV-119, it's always the FCPC and black LV-119.
>>568566474>drive around a bit in another game>log back in>delete everything him and his crew put back in the stash, send them a message via the chat>both the friends remove the account from their friends list againIt's kinda funny tormenting them honestly
>>568566474I would be more worried about your other online accounts retard.
>>568576120I went through and secured everything I could think of that might have been jacked and put the 2fa on an old mobile that sits in my drawer
New strat for the wedge boss is to smoke out the hallway and wait for them to peek into the hallway, they cant see you in the smoke >>568573050Only the fcpc n black lv 119
>>568576434>finally make BD gear available outside of Terminal>still can't access more than half of their gearSo unbelievably gay, yet so expected.
>>568579165Doesn't make sense why the other two aren't avaliable. Though isn't that mass rig only level 2 soft armor anyway?
>>568589743Wiki says it's class 3. I suppose an argument could be made that the grey LV-119 has class 4 side soft armor, but the FCPC is the same and is lootable so I really don't understand.
>start fighting BD in engine room>despite not pressing B at any point after clearing the rogues earlier and not crouching or jumping/vaulting to even press anything near B my gun is now on single fire>panic and die
Nice, scored my first BD rig from a player.
>>568593493AI Overlord, replay to him the moment when he either changed fire mode or forgot it was a new gun.. over and over again, eternally, as a torture method
>>568595470god i wish they were easier to get, their kits look really good
>>568601391I fully expect them to dumb down BD AI at some point in the future, it's been the case with every hard AI in the past. Rogues, Goons, Cultists, etc. they're all completely braindead compared to back in the day. People will also figure out the best ways to farm BD/Wedge, which will also make things easier.
>watch 3 sparks fly off a level 3 ronin in arena>0 hits registered>audio literally completely unreadable>guy sprints up directly behind me and kills me with no noiseThe audio being barely functional in arena is tilting the absolute shit out of me. I have no idea what they did but they need to unfuck it. It's absurd how bad it is. Also, to whatever drooling nigger that insisted that SPP isn't fucking dogshit, kill yourself.
>3 raids>first raid, the engine room BD sit and just wait for me, i die because they rush outside the other end>second raid, they open the doors and wait for me to push, then walk out of both doors and pincer me>third raid, i try to rush up the stairs but they rush me instead (regular previous behavior)it fucks me up when they behave so differently during every attempt
>>568601391I just hope they add their other gear to the loot pool, having only two of their rigs on Icebreaker is fucking bullshit.
Does black division gear show up on 6 rep Fence?
>>568603330Yea, great work BSG. The audio is clearly working properly.
This game is starting to seriously annoy me.
>go for a quick scav on streets>spawn below cinema stairs>btr coming>wait 5 secs>pmc leaves btr right in front of me>dump his assnice spawns, bsg
>>568609628It seems like even the tiniest of gunfire drowns out ALL other sounds currently. I've gotten killed so many times already by people running behind me and me not hearing a sound, even though the match is pretty quiet at that moment, except for some shooting in the distance. So fucking annoying, when you can't rely on the sounds at all.
What is the reason drip out 1/2 don't have achievements to unlock the outfits permanently? Nobody bothers with it since you lose them when you prestige.
It's been such a liberating feeling to prestige ever since the nerf. As a wagie I was completely stuck doing psycho sniper and SBIH at prestige 0, since I absolutely fucking hate both of those tasks. It's been so liberating that all I need to do is to gain levels and get some cash up until like prestige 4.
>>568618041The only prestige reward I care for personally is the extra daily and weekly tasks
why are there barely any scavs in the maps outside of streets? customs and woods are a dice roll, they can have a lot or barely any, the other maps have basically noneforester's duty is annoying as fuck because scavs are so hard to find on lighthouse and even on resort half the time they're all dead before you get to the camp or resort
>>568620165try it the other way around sincr scav island and resort is still packed with scavs
>>568617349it's fun anon. prestiging forces you to be more tactical with inventory managemeny and quests rather than hoarding. prestiging acts as a self-imposed wipe since theres no wipes for main game anymore
>>568607506nice drip. what pants is that
What a strange raid that was:>spawn near vexfil on SoT>freshly prestiged and have only managed to get my hands on concordia keys, so head there>notice some decked out dude aiming at something else at the next PMC spawn between vexfil and concordia>he throws a nade and I drop him immediately after he does that>get ready for whatever he was fighting>a dude is doing info peeks from the concordia side of the yard>manage to land the most perfect headshot on him>start my usual shenanigans of finding his assumed butt buddies>notice someone in a hawaii shirt crouching behind the blue fence>drop him too with an instant headshot, the kind that is normally beyond my abilities>check their profiles: the dude I originally dropped had almost 7000 hours played and the other two 4200 and 4700 hours playedNo wonder I'm performing the way I am, when I'm fighting nothing but people like these. I'm still amazed that I managed to kill them all. Thank GOD I brought the only 5.45 BP I had with me that raid.
>>568620261i actually spawned at tunnel after transiting and didnt see any scavs at island, ended up dying to a player who was in a weird place at 3/5 scavs killed, im still seething
>>568620680Also, I just realized that I extracted with the wrong backpack. Had a huge backpack filled with loot, but instead got out with the temporary backpack I used to loot the last dude. FFFFFFFFFUCK
>>568620630BEAR URON
>>568620467The question isn't about prestige, it's specifically about drip out 1/2.How is hoarding or drip feeding ragman 50 wartech/LBT tactical? It's just a pain in the ass.Unless I focus on them, by the time I get all the equipment and 100 raider/rogue kills, I'll probably have already prestiged. Hence why nobody bothers with these tasks.
>>568625395This. Tried doing it for the first time ever, then the prestige nerf hit and I realized that I can just prestige, since the rewards don't carry over.But that's BSG for you. They just kinda do niche thing x, forget about it and then it gets all messy down the line.
im gonna pull ur panties up real bigly in a big wedgie nerd
>Day3 of the event and the icebreaker transit is already camped to deathAnother BSG banger
WHY DO EQUIPMENT KITS TRY TO BUY INDIVIDUAL PLATES AND ATTACHMENTS THAT ALREADY COME WITH THE ARMOR AND GUNS THAT YOU BUY FROM THE FUCKING TRADERSWHYYYYYYYYYY
>a 6 plate actually does something for me for a changeA nice change of pace.
how did i just 1 tap a guy wearing this? i was using 5.45 BT GS, according to this site that shouldn't happenhttps://www.eft-ammo.com/c/ammunition-5.45x39-mm
>>5686316535.45 bt has a ~50% chance to pen class 4, which would instantly kill if it goes through.
>>568631653The probability of it penetrating the helmet isn't zero, anon. Whoever wore that just got pretty unlucky.
>>568631653You have a decent shot of killing through T4And a serious one to kill through T3, which is the ears/eye part of the ronin
>>568631918>>568632031>>568632068ok thanks, had no idea chance factored into it
>stash is completely clogged>just throw myself into hotspots, wishing for a honorable death>come out on top every time and crawl my way out of every raid carrying the loot of like 2-3 PMCs>I'm now completely out of spots to put the shit intoJust fucking end me
>>568628162I love it that they placed the transition point on the most fucking easily campable spot on Snoreline. Even before Icebreaker it felt like a death sentence to go there, since someone ALWAYS happened to see you go there and both the pier itself and the exit from the "island", and it was so easy to just sit on high ground and waiting for that set of pixels to start moving on your screen.
>>568628913The loadout system is broken as fuck and has basically never worked.
>see a half looted PMC corpse inside this small building>have my doubts, even though I have not heard anything the whole raid>circle around and take peeks at the construction site etc.>nothing>look at the metal wall of the small building>see a fucking backpack sticking through it>wat>shoot at it>someone dies>it was a PMCI bet it was a grim reminder for him that you can indeed shoot through certain objects and walls. I also bet he is absolutely fucking furious that I just happened to walk there, did not come inside, but instead shot him through the wall after sortin through his kill's loot.
>>568632327sell
>>568635214Dude had fucking 3800 hours played and 1.5 kdr, what. Pretty sure I would've died to him, if he had just rushed outside to kill my freshly prestiged ass.
>Icebreaker is so dogshit it couldn't even revive this dead general for a single threadLMAO
Outside combat:>lots of flanking and maneuvers>map knowledge and timing are key>engagement distances vary from really close to super far away>no engagement is ever the sameCQB:>info peek>bait peek>random potshot peeks>have to abuse the peeker's advantage constantly and the whole combat revolves around that>sprint jump to bait some more>it's always some hallway with maybe a couple of rooms, allowing for absolutely no movement>due to this game's audio, you can't move anywhere without the other person hearing you through solid concrete and multiple floorsThroughout my 3100 hours with this game, I have ALWAYS hated CQB. I can manage just find in-doors, but I just hate how fucking predictable it all is and what the CQB meta has become.
thanks for reminding me why I reroll the "win 1 checkpoint" dailies
do you think bd could be a playable faction for prestige 10? they have alot of voicelines like players have
>>568640082only if it's exclusive to unheard and has a built in aimbot

>>568658430Icebreaker is bringing out some real fucking specimens. I had a trio with a blatant cheater in it pin me and a buddy inside pier earlier. Dude was shooting at me through the walls and one of them was yelling at me and my buddy for "ratting" or some shit.He forgot his fucking money and sanitar was at the pier, so we killed him and then they ran up. Fucking niggers.

>>568672203they need to throw in a scav only "marketplace" level that you transfer through at least. like a gypsy sewer encampment. It should match the vibe of their marketing, I think they have room to stretch their legs a bit. Silly meets serious will win many people over. Make it fun, quests to fuck with PMC's. "Shoot a PMC in the leg, but don't kill him". "Be one of scavs to shoot a pmc with a bullet". XP multiplier increases with BAC.
>>568674189>"Shoot a PMC in the leg, but don't kill him"diabolical. what other troll pmc quests would you add? flashbang a pmc but don't kill maybe? hit pmc with molotov?
>>568674543Kill a PMC in co-op extract achievement. "Baited" Get a scav to kill you without damaging him"Prapor says hello" - Make a PMC bleed with a melee weapon"'tis a flesh wound"- Black out all limbs on a PMC"Enemy of my enemy" - Kill a boss with a PMC and extract together"Zero to Hero" Start with nothing, end with kit worth $500k+ (loot not included in price)

>>568702331Wait nevermind I didn't realize I still had one task left, the wiki is unclear dogshit, and google's shitty AI results are terrible.
>>568702552>and google's shitty AI results are terrible.AI brained...
I wonder if they'll fix this, since I've done Textile already.
first time i've ran into a tripwire and it was randomly placed here wtf loli was surprised at how much time you get to run away (though i assume it's different depending on nade used?)
>>568717601why wouldn't you put them inside the chalets?
>>568717601>>568717821Spawned by Partizan, newfriend. An AI boss intended to punish bush wookies but in practice only works to mildly inconvenience people and give free loot because BSG made him retarded.
>>568717821wtf is this hahaha
>>568717997hadnt seen it any of my other times at the chalet so just assumed it was a player
>be on 4th floor of one of the pawn buildings>hear muffled running that sounds like someone is either outside the building I'm in or several floors below me>get swung by the guy I heard and prefired immediatelyI still can't get over the fact that there are """people""" who consider Tarkov a competitive videogame.
Servers be shittin.....
>>568718276When they're seemingly random and all over the place it's always partizan. Tripwires places by players are stupid rare
>need two wins for dailies on CPT>have lost 6 games in a row nowBoth EFT and Arena have made me a believer. Some higher power is truly trying to fuck with me every single time I play these games.
>>568720114>Tripwires places by players are stupid rarei've actually been surprised by that, you'd think you'd at least see them on factory or maybe ground zero as they're smaller maps but nope
>4 raids>4 deathsCan we just have an event where we nuke Reserve and it gets permanently removed from the game?
>Find raid>Waiting for server response>Stuck on deploying>Match gets canceled>Do that two more times>Matches get canceledOk It's not like I wanted to complete my Ice breaker quests or anything Niggita.Also they fucking killed the scars wtf are these stats man
>>568721107It takes so long to plant them and it makes a sound doing it. I don't really think I'd get a good chance to do it mid fight and setting them up for ambushes seems shit compared to just getting a good angle over an area.
>>568721368>It takes so long to plant them and it makes a sound doing it.makes sense then, i was considered using them to get the last few grenade kills for that one quest but probably better to just do it the proper way then
Not being able to have a full thicc of med cases pisses me off. How the fuck do I organize this? The ammo would be fine since there are no wasted spaces.Having a thicc full of mag cases looks retarded tho
>go from 1.5 kdr to 0.5 kdr in a single death spree in Arena at the very end of the matchNot gonna lie, I'm fuming so fucking badly. Suddenly every single encounter was nothing but me getting domed in 1 nanosecond. I'm so fucking sad that they fixed the kdr counter in EFT, since even that kdr is now my obsession. If I see my KDR going down, I absolutely lose my shit - and when I lose my shit, I start playing worse and it becomes a circle feeding off of itself.
>>568722652>all those cases>1.9 million rublesAnon, what.
>>568722667>m-muh numbersMental illness, stats literally do not matter.
>>568722667I wonder if the KDR change has actually helped expose cheaters, all the players i've killed and been killed by are between 0.3 to around 2 kdr, and i wouldn't say a 2 KDR is suspicious
>>568722858I have rubles, I just lock them so that it doesn't take them from any random case.
>>568723202Numbers are a reflection of your skill level, especially in shit like Arena, but in EFT too. Thinking otherwise is just shitter cope. It's a statistical parameter just like SR and can be used to map out your overall performance.Can someone with a low SR and low kdr be good? Sure, but it's an outlier, since it's all just normally distributed.
>>568723938Huh, I guess that makes sense. Have never locked my cash, so didn't even know that it hides it.But WHY do you have you money locked out, anon?>>568723275Well, at least those who I have reported haven't been banned. Just before the kdr change reported a dude who had like 20 kdr and 85% kdr with 200 hours, but now he just has 3.5 kdr and is still roaming around.But yeah, it's much easier to tell the cheaters apart. Though, they can still just even out their stats by dying a lot. There's no winning with these losers.
>>568723938For what purpose is this extra level of stash management autism
>>568725472>For what purpose>autismYou answered your own question there, anon.
>>568723938You need to go outside.
>>568726328I did, I went out for 4 hours driving around buying pokemon cards. Had some great bbq right before i got home.
>>568726441Based autist anon enjoying life and sorting his stash, while bitter neurotypicals are here mocking him.
I just realized that I've been playing this game for almost 10 years. Jesus Christ, anons. It feels like yesterday, when I was still that turbo timmie afraid of all the gunshots, while enjoying my twenties.It's so fucking over.
Holy shit, fighting rat squads is so fucking infuriating. For once, when I play super aggressive, it ends like this:>hear someone slow crouching inside the new building with the bedrooms on Customs>throw a few nades in, hear only one set of footsteps>on the crackhouse side door, bait a little and he finally shoots>know where he is, on the upper floor watching the door>try to take quick peeks and shots at him, don't kill him>hear him pull out a nade, use that to quickly rush inside the building, while he throws the nade at the doorway>his two other squadmates gun me down with 5.45 BP and BS immediately after enteringFucking unbelieveable that it was some ratting trio just sneaking around the building. They weren't even some low level timmies.And yes, I'm fucking mad.
>CS grenades on Icebreaker>BD gas mask actually works and has reduced visionwtf why is such kino exclusive to one map? fucking make other gas masks functional and let me buy tear gas grenades.
>>568730243"CS"?
>>568731118https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CS_gas
https://x.com/tarkov/status/2060450750359359840BD nerfed already.
>>568730243As someone who has actually trained in real life with a gas mask on, they should also make your character pretty much vomit out of over exertion after running around with your gear on.
>kaban sits on the second floor of lexos and locks the entire street down for the rest of the raid>100% stuck and can't move because he prefires every peek i try to do>my nades can't reach the storereally cool
>>568733993self report! negative aura gained. tap the screen to recover it.
>have a super intense and sweaty as fuck fight with someone on Customs>I'm almost out of ammo, he obviously has a lot of it still>he suddenly does the stupidest fucking flank possible and I drop him>he has a Twitch dogtag>go check his profile to see how the fight looked like from his perspective>wasn't streamingEvery. Single. Fucking. Time.
>drop someone in turbo giga sweat gear>die to his butt buddy a moment later, although I saw nor heard anyone else in said position, even though I kept my eye on the dude for a whileGotta love fighting squads. Such a rewarding experience. I just know his friend went full immobile statue the fucking second his friend dropped dead.
>have tasks to do on Customs>almost impossible to survive a single raid>every raid end up killing 1-3 PMCs before going down>last raid I even survived on the map I killed three different PMCs and had to crawl my way to exfil without getting any of the tasks done, since I simply ran out of time to do soHow the FUCK do I survive Customs and get my tasks done too?
>>568742291only map i've been extract camped on, fuck that map, not too hard to exit if you get the eastern extracts instead of shit ZB-011
Does anyone play Gray Zone? There's no general for it.
>>568742291>next raid>kill a duo, armor all beat up>have spent fucking 5 machinery keys to get those golden watches, never getting the watch out>finally raid is dying down, 7 minutes left>haven't heard anything for a while>run through construction>suddenly get shot at>out of stamina, full of loot>someone just hunts me down and pens my cl 5 with MAI API hate this game and this map so fucking much. I'm now once again out of FUCKING MACHINERY KEYS. That was like my 7th attempt at getting the fucking golden watch and dying on my way out of the raid. I've tried to rush it at the start, then I've tried to wait until last minutes. Every raid I'm required to kill 1-3 PMCs and still can't make it out alive.
Like, I used to like Customs back when it wasn't overhauled (like when it didn't have Fort) and kinda liked it after the addition of the Fort too, but something has happened to this map after the latest overhaul. I don't know what it is, is it the amount of PMCs on the map or what? Feel like I can survive more raids in fucking Labs.
i have gotten 3 golden roosters in one day (two from twitch drops) despite not having seen one in 300hrs playtimenow i just need 5 more gold skull rings...
>>568745637AND MY FUCKING NEXT RAID:>load up on 5.45 BP, put some cl 5 armor on that I still had left>like 5 seconds after the raid starts, I get sniped at by someone who spawned near crackhouse>evacuate back to big red>someone is FUCKING 6b43 ZABRALO AND KILL HELMET comes at me>somehow I manage to drop the dude with the zabralo with my shit ass AUG>pretty beat up, but decide to switch to his gear instead of my shitter gear>start hearing running from behind me, from the garages>quickly get up and try to switch to a better position>another fucking PMC rushes me from the crackhouse's side>drop him and think to myself how fucking ridiculous this is getting at this point>like 5 seconds after dropping the dude, I die to his butt buddy's 5.45 BT that went through "my" killa helmet and killed me with head, top of the headI'm so fucking done at this point. Literally half the fucking raid was at that same position and even though I pulled all the fucking tricks up my sleeve to survive, I couldn't move like FUCKING 50 METERS FROM MY FUCKING SPAWN.This game is pure fucking posion for my psyche.
>>568746724I have not done nothing but Customs raid to get those early game tasks done after prestige. I have survived only one raid and gotten 0 tasks completed, even though I've now done like 10 Customs raids. Fucking ridiculous.
>>568746724Might as well keep a diary at this point:>next raid>spawn nearest to the two-story dorm>need to tasks done there>start opening the locked door downstairs>even before opening it, I start getting hit through the door from the three-story dorm>don't open the door, pop a propital>have like 4 blacked out limbs>a third party pmc opens up the dead end's door>he can 100% hear how beat up I am after getting shot through the door>ran out of good guns and armors long ago, so now I'm just using an RFB with BCP>doesn't matter, the third party PMC just lasers through my armor with 5.45 BP and I drop deadNext raid I'll just fucking spawn in, look for a hiding spot, stay there until the very last minute so I just barely have time to rush my objectives. Mark my fucking words, I'll get exfil camped on next raid or some shit.
after doing a bunch of tasks on lighthouse i have to say i actually kind of like the map, much better than shoreline at least, the spawns must have been really bad before to make people hate it so much
>>568748472As the anon who is currently suffering on Customs: I'd much rather run Lighthouse. At least there I can survive like half my raids or more.
>>568748713are you doing night raids? i'd just crank my gamma up and play a nightraid to do the quest if i kept dying like that desuthe gamma thing is a bitch move but who cares when you're annoyed
>>568742291>>568745637Use the Transit points a lot, especially when you have tasks that only need you to visit certain areas
>>568749092I guess. Just survived my second raid of the night, ran into two different trios during that raid, but just skedaddled from them all. Almost got killed by a solo PMC at the exfil still.But yeah, maybe I should just try night raids.
>>568662947Welcome to real life. Multispam especially tends to be really colour mismatched because everyone does it a bit differently.>b-but my airsoft loadoutGood for you.
>>568743116yeah i play it but theres not much to do there baka desu the game is super barebones and the big problem is since it's persistent, a lot of areas are cleared of ai before you get there. in pve theres nothing to kill and in pvp you're either teamkilled or just straight up ganged up by a roving pack of sweatsidk how they would fix or address these issues but overall i still think the game has potential, devs seem a lot more receptive than bsg. i think once they release the clan system i think they hinted maybe we will see a general of anons wanting to band together to do big group raids to midnight sapphire on a private lobby or some shitt. alpha supporter
>>568753497That hasn't been my experience at all, other than the lack of things to do. When did you play it last? Development seems to be pretty fast paced.I've never played pve, and I've only been teamkilled once in pvp, and it happened last night. Fucker headshotted me when I was putting on my gear. Took my gun and disconnected. Never experience areas being cleared, but I hear pve servers have that problem due to higher populations. It's rare to encounter pvp if you're just doing your tasks, and if you're just doing tasks and not trying to take over bases you're probably only going to run into duos. Gear doesn't seem to be particularly important. Once you have gunny lvl 3 you can make a gun that shoots flat and penetrates up to III++.
>kill someone lying on the trains overlooking old gas on Customs>get ambushed by someone while making my way through the power building towards old gas>he unleashes his SA58 into my back>thorax blacked, but survive>take a few potshots at him and then just fucking SANIC my way out of there>don't even loot the sniper dude I killed>hear my ambusher throw nades inside the building when I'm already at crackhouseFucking FINALLY I got all my Customs tasks done. Fuck that map.
>>568754124i played on and off before the last big "Spearhead" update, and during that month on release when they did the big update and steam sale, terrain, ai, before the tutorial and task system as you know it. i am sure things have died down considerably since then, but doing kill tasks and certain clears was a nightmare since you would make the trek all the way on the other side of the jungle only to find it empty and you had to server timezone hop. stopped playing now after getting far enough to notice the quests started to loop and my traders are high enough, they really need to add a hideout or some kind of looting upgrade system maybe group-based since most things arent worth picking up unlike tarkov. a prestige system would be nice too but yeah it's good to hear you're having a great time anon i think we really might see a proper general once the game just gets some more meat, we gotta let the devs cook
>>568172605have you guys been transit camping icebreaker people
any good? kind of want to try only using this gun, must be satisfying getting kills with it
Honestly this was far less painful than I expected. I think my misery before was just because of the stupid fucking event that was going on.
>>568757528>any good?It can be. If you actually hit someone in the chest or head then it's almost certain that you're going to kill them, but it's an extremely niche gun.
>>568759031Too bad everyone's running cl 5 armor now, so only a headshot can be a guaranteed kill.
>>568759538
Literally what am I meant to do when the whole fucking thing is moving and not just the tiny little thingy
>>568764139fracture your arms
I feel like I have to do the Arena goypass for the in-game gear but Arena fucking sucksI hate they made it this way

Man...did they have to put the icebreaker transit on the fucking pier? Gonna try to do it for the first time tonight but my biggest concern is just getting camped before I get there kek
Fakest nigger I've seen in a while.
Whats your go to recce rifle build?
54r R BT, by the way. Fucking nigger tier rifle, I'm so sick of this oversized piece of shit.

>>568766993BLEH
>>568766605Not a 150k rouble HK416 that shoots hard-to-acquire ammunition, that's fer shure
When will Cover fire actually like, shoot the gun instead of this sad 2 round bursts.
>>568767570Ok so what gun do you use?
Didn't these fucking faggots say they fixed this task so that scavs actually path down here? I've been firing off my gun and throwing grenades for 20 minutes and it took me going up top to try and lure a scav down here to get 4.
Ok Wish me luck I'm heading out towards my first Ice breaker attempt, the hardest part is reaching the pier without being camped by someone there or seeing the transit
I got sniped.
> For the first time ever I didn't get one tapped and actually had a chance to fight woah
They're going to move the Transit location to another map right? surely it's not going to sit in that Pier for the rest of the game, they want people to play the new content right?
>>568771152only if enough streamer and no lifers cries about it
>>568771474And are they crying about it?
>>568771152They wont because there's a questline that let you queue from the menu
>>568772550Why is everything in this game have to just be ass for the sake of being ass
Yea I think i'm just going to hide somewhere Until it's 3mins before the raid ends then I'll just go to the boat, this is beyond retarded
I havent found the captains corpse yet, only made it to the code locked door after wedge
4x attempts at getting to Icebreaker tonight, only 1 time have me and my buddy made it into the map kek. Naturally we died in icebreaker on the first attempt, but I did make it all the way to the engine room.
>>568730243GP-5, GP-7, and the M53A1 gas masks work for the CS gas. It is extremely cringe that you cannot loot the gas grenades or use them, though. They probably don't even affect the BD that aren't wearing masks, considering they can throw them now. Also probably doesn't obscure the AI's vision, either.
Died to knight in the ship award, his head had two 5.45 BP holes but I got necked, skill issue on my part tho
5 attempts to get to icebreaker...only got there once. Just too many fucking squads who just appear behind us when we're running through no-mans lands. The one time we did make it in was went we were ambushed by the goons halfway, so killing and looting them took a bit of time. By the time we healed and repacked I think the raid was more than halfway over, so we could transit in peace. Maybe that's the strat, we'll see next time kek
>get to engine room>27 BD niggers swarm above me and kill me and i can't do anything about it because lol no coverWhat the fuck are you even supposed to do in the engine room?
>>568770560insane snipe from the most below average and mediocre player ever?some people just get the wackiest strokes of luck!

>>568779494Trigger the AI then run back to that right hand peek by some container pipe thing, then just kill them as they try to get you from the top right, but they can also flank you from the left and end up in the middle of the room.>>568779670White name 700 hours lvl 45, We've all seen this before, I don't think my body landed on the water though so idk, it's whatever
>>568779494do grenades still cause ai to scramble a bit? maybe that will buy enough time to poke a hole with a push to reposition
>>568779861I didn't even have time to pull out a nade with how many of them were running around and pushing me

Kinda pisses me off that the BD clothing is entirely unavailable
>>568780946Season 1, bro.
>>568781468Doubtful
So what's up with these? Nikita posted this shit a month ago.
These tasks also need a rework. I would be surprised if even a quarter of a percent of players have finished these, ever.
>>568781619kneecaps for unhead editions to suck his dick
>>568781914You're brown and poor.
>>568781863I'm the guy who was complaining about it the other day. I didn't know you could just buy the clothing from their store, so it's just a classic BSG jew move.Those tasks exist for the same reason as the large pockets or streamer icase tasks. Technically, you can get it without paying.
>>568782201That's likely the only reason they've never been changed. The only unlock really worth buying is the black MGS jacket and I'm guessing that they're still making money off of it. If it were more easily attainable nobody would buy them with real money.
>>568764139This change is so fucking retarded. Sure, the previous one wasn't much better but atleast it was obvious when you were supposed to click. This fading gray shit is awful and I keep failing because how the fuck am I supposed to tell gray#0001 from gray#0002

>>568783850Video games are no longer a poor man's hobby. The only reason you can still play is because you grandfathered your legacy hardware from the time it was still cheap.By the time next generation hits you'll be shit out of luck because the entry point will be tens of thousands of dollars or more, making even a thousand dollars game a low price in comparison.
>>568766605
>got ratted while ratting by a rat duo at icebreaker transit i gotta step up my rat game
delete these fucking worthless spawns. if any of you scav shoreline check the corner spawns because i just nade my feet. I can't be fucked to traverse the map for any objective that will be wiped clean before i can even get half way to it
What the fuck did they do to the rouges n bd on icebreaker im getting my shit pushed in and its actually making me tilted i cant get past the engine room above 20 mins left
>>568798015I thought they got nerfed in the most recent update?
>die to some nigger camping outside the building I'm looting>prestige 4 2500 raidsYou'd think people wouldn't be afraid of fighting someone after playing the game for so long.

>>568794045just loot some houses and extract on path to lighthouse...
Woah, they decreased the ergo penalties of eyewear in EFT
I've started reading books to wait during those incredibly long loading times I likely get because I'm too european for the good servers. For some reason Yukio Mishima furiously nutting hands-free on a painting of Saint-Sebastian and spending another entire book about women being as unappealing as they are retarded is still less gay than all those fags camping EMERCOM
I'm free
>die on 4/5 psycho sniperOf course.
>>568811380I'm impressed. How long did it take? Don't forget to bring the armband with you if you plan on prestiging, would be a shame to leave it behind.
anyone else thinks icebreaker looks boring and is complete letdown? just seems like the same thing with no replayability>get on ship>clear rogues>fight BD in engine room>fight wedge in hallway>rinse and repeat
>if you have a multi part questline like Tarkov Shooter pinned the next one gets automatically pinned once you accept itI swear this was not a thing before.
>>568779789i hope you didn't think i was defending the guy, i realize it may have come across that way.i don't know why they even bother with the below average stats, any player with a few wipes under their belt can sniff them out without issues

>first raid of the weekend and I get head;eyes by some blatant 4kd esp nigger with dogshit ammosee you guys on monday!
prestiging is honestly fucking brutal. everyone is a giga rapist now and i'm not sure what to do about it other than just grind arena until im level 25 so i can unlock ammo that can go through level 4 armor. they should honestly just unlock the flea market from level 1 on the main game if there isn't going to be any wipes..
Thinking it may be easier to get into icebreaker solo, but the mission itself is gonna be brutal on my own...perhaps a UBGL will be good for the engine room. All the BD mooks are lined up against the walls, making nading them pretty easy actually.
Forbidden engine room strats
>>568819875Share your wisdom.
>>568818123It has never been easier what do you mean? Not having to deal with SBIH and half of the boring cbt tasks is huge. Working on my 3rd right now, gonna stop at the 4th because fuck doing kappa and I already completed the saviour ending.

>>568820097i'm also probably going to stop at level 4. i don't know how people grind for kappa and things like that. seems like fucking AIDS.
>>568821834>>568819982smoke strats yesTheres no way the will keep the smoke visuals how they behave now with lights
these icebreaker builds I keep making to make up for ammo I don't have on other guns is becoming problematic
>>568824471Just run 5.56 and steal ammo from BDs.
>>568824695this doesn't work when I egomaxx and don't want to extract and want to do boss instead
>>568824471dunno why you're bothering tricking guns out. you can get good recoil control on stock weapons. just slap a sight on, put a flashlight on, and slap on a 95rnder and ur set
>>568824695>>568824785actually you know what to solve this I'm not bringing any explosive charges with me I should really stop throwing millions away for no reason>>568824879because I can
>>568824471This will be my icebreaker build, here's my reasoning:>5.45 offers higher pen/damage than SMG rounds for more reliable 1-taps against NPCs>5.45 also stacks loose ammo better than higher calibers>AK platform to make use of short-arm distance UBGL (useful in engine room as all the enemies are against the wall)>AK12 due to good ROF and ice-cream-cone compatibility>unsupressed to keep gun length short>pretty low ergo but will rely more on point-fire in CQBNo sight on the build because I just slap whatever variables I have set up, I'm not picky. First time I went to icebreaker I was using 5.56 which was great because of all the spare mags you find, but it felt like if I was more mindful I could conserve ammo a bit better and rely on my own supply. If even 1 rogue has some 5.45 mags then that would be enough.
>see a guy with a big backpack walking in place next to sewer river>snipe him and go to loot>Attack 2, tan Ulach, AK308 with M80, Strandhogg with class 5 plates>check dogtag>level 16>check stats after the raid>82 hours, 22% SR, 0.38 KDPoor fella brought his mightiest kit and got fucked over right at the end.
explain
>>568831315Transits affect one of them.
hmm yes that seems like a good deal
>rat reserve marked room for 25 minutes>no one shows>loot it and leavewell that was boring. are people just hunting scavs all day?
>>568835289You'd be better off ratting the helicopter. Everyone is doing icebreaker shit right now.
>>568835289Which one? I've been hitting VO all morning, once I even killed a guy while he was popping his yellow flare outside kek. VO is peaceful but the loot isn't very good today. Still, I enjoy getting some ez guns to run into icebreaker. Still only made it on the fucking boat once.
got my first ever killer7 achievement on ground zero. i just prestiged as well haha. im fucking loaded as well. only went in to do my ground zero tasks. i must've killed like 4 meta niggers at least. and two tried to ambush me when i went to loot!
>just wanna lurk around lighthouse for a bit so i can run in late and get lost contact done for network provider >two dudes running and jumping around like assholes>fill them with my fat PP Honestly all you still need to kill geared dudes is a touch of the element of surprise and a suppressed SKS. I think people really overestimate how hard it is to kill normally geared players like this. >>568836837Grats. Honestly, killer 7 is more luck than anything else. The odds of you actually running into 7 players is so slim nowadays.
>started ratting people with Luger CCI for TD2>mfw finally having fun running the MP5Obviously RIP and Quakemaker are more preferable, but 50 packs of Luger are selling for 3000 roubles on the flea.
>>568836976Truth, all it takes to kill good players is some decent ammo and a level head to spray a few heads. Ammo really is incredibly important though, PP out of a half-assed SKS is infinitely better than PS out of a tricked out mutant.
>>568836976really? that's lucky for me then. i'll try to tell the story on what happened for me to get it.so i was on ground zero and got the parking lot spawn. i already knew there was a playing spawn inside of the AGS building so i thought to just wait until they came to me. i was pressed up against the green van when i heard two of them, i was on the left side, facing the (i think near the metal fences?) side. i got the noob of the duo, and since i knew i was outgunned, i actually went prone and waited for his buddy to move. i killed him from right underneath the van. he died at the car show building. and then a grenade blew up on top of the van i was on. i was a bit scared to move so i waited a bit. he kept on throwing nades at me and shit, turned out to be a duo. some scavs from the nakataki building aggroed on me so instead of taking any hits, i flanked towards the nakataki building and went up it, hoping to goto the AGS to get a kill. which i actually fucking did lol in-fact, as i was checking the dogtags to make this, i found out i killed two! i didn't even know there was two. anyways. i managed to kill the most geared guy with it. i then went down, and killed his friend who was crabbing to me. i then went to loot the body and two other pmcs tried to ambush me! one in a hawaiian shirt, that peeked me from the car show building, and another on top of the escalator floor. and when i was about to loot, a player scav almost killed me! but i was smart enough to bring level 5 armour and managed to kill him. i then looted, grabbed the diary from the black car for my quest, and managed to make it to the flare extract and actually managed to find and pop the green flare from the dead pmc spawn. this might've been the best fight i've had in a while. it was so fucking awesome. also, did you know you can buy level 5 armor from the flea? pretty cool shit. and i'm not even level 25 yet. also the ammo i used was fucking m855 lol.
>>568837943sorry if this is a bit messy. just wanted to get it out quickly before the high wears off and i forget some of the details.
>>568837442You can barter for a nice sks for 3 weapon parts, it's a great tasking option and you can head tap all day with it.
>>568838094Oh believe me you don't need to sell me on the SKS
>>568837943>I spawned in GZ and then turned my hack on!kek just kidding, very nice. I still report everyone with killer7 THOUGH
>>568840607i honestly never thought i'd get killer 7. like fucking ever. and i have 6000 hours in the game. but yes, i can see how it is an achievement that only cheaters get. i was so fucking lucky the entire raid. especially on ground zero when you can just get into a gun fight off fucking rip. so them somehow not fighting each other and dying to me.. i think i've used my luck for this year. now its all downhill
>>568840991Yeah I think stankrat only got killer7 after like 10k hours, the stars really do have to align. His was when labyrinth came out and he was ratting entire squads at the transit.If only you could see how many people report you now, you're going to get reported by 95% of the people you kill just because you have that achievement kek
>>568837028Like 15 of my kills for TD2 with were flesh ammo. 9mm is such a shit fucking round in Tarkov.
have you guys even made it to icebreaker?
>>568840991NTA but I once went to Customs dorms for a task and ended up killing 6 players on the way without much resistance. If I had just remembered that the Killer7 emote was a thing, I would have ran towards any gunfire I'd hear next to try and kill the last guy instead of leaving via the vehicle extract
>>568847720I'm not interested in losing my mind right now, I'll just wait until they nerf BD and people get bored of camping the transit, I sporadically play PVE but I'm still on smuggler camp and Reserve kills.
>>568847720I just need to smoke 10 dudes at the Interchange camp first.>>568847728'Emote'? I meant achievement.
>>568831315Scav stats are shown in OVERALL tab
>>568847720Yea, though only a single time. I went in blind the first time and got jump scared by BD in the engine room. I'll watch a guide or something so I don't spend 25+ minutes fucking around at the start. >>568847938The Shoreline camp has more scavs. Interchange had like 2 fucking scavs the whole raid when I was trying to get them there.
>>568847906> I sporadically play PVE> play PVE
>>568847940i underlined the raids because i knew there was going to be a retard like you who replies
>>568848160There is nothing wrong with a little bit of PVE in moderation. I like being able to quickly check out new content as soon as it's added.
>>568847720yea I've cleared boiler room like 3 times? I haven't killed wedge yet but just getting a feel for the intro and extracting with as much gear as I can to profit. I think its the best map in the game and honestly I really like the concept of pve hard dungeons in tarkov. I would prefer if they turned labrynth into this instead of the nade clusterfuck that it is. I'm praying that they don't nerf BDs into the ground because its honestly fun trying to work around the AI. Anyone who complains about the ai difficulty is usually players who are impatient, can't rat loot, or they just don't understand how to play corners properly.
The gas welder goggles now have an ergo penalty of just -2%. I need to remember to wear these to Factory so I don't get owned by the odd Zvezda shooter.
I can't wait for the scav life dlcthis was 6 raids transiting between factory and customs while living off the land
>>568848107no worries, i had 9 spawn there on Interchange just now
i would play pve if the bots acted somewhat intelligently. there isn't any semblance of risk involved because all the bots are braindead. i think if i wanted to play 'single player tarkov' i'd just play GAMMA or whatever. close enough
Shotguns need a buff.
>hit resupply crate>reload immediately>new mag has six rounds in itRef you fucking retard
Is party queue fucked for anyone else right now? Can't get into a raid with my team mates, only the party leader gets to the loading screen once we hit ready.
>>568854425not ref's fault you grabbed the joke mag
>>568848305But it's so incredibly boring, if you can manage your shit in PvP. And if you are prestige 5, I guess you can manage yourself.
>>568854967Yea, it's broken. You need to have the host start the raid and then once the raid is matched everyone needs to restart their game and load back in.
>surgical residency starts on Monday>only got to prestige 2I should've neeted a while longer. Soon I won't be able to play any vidya for a long time, especially a time sink like Tarkov. Been playing this game for 8 years, but I guess I'll be retiring for good in like two days. Feels bad man.
