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.
>>568376007>>568376234>wah wah slopit's just a word, get a grip, nigger>thinking BSG changes make senselol lmao>complains about a bolty and dmrs>ignores the shotgundo you think enforcer and marksman are meta? do you think the fucking saiga 12 is meta?I listed the current best weapons for each class in case people wanna do dailies with them or somethingthe meta is low recoil high firerate, arena is a headshot game
>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
