They should add the IHPS and MSV plate carrier so I can run around in the kit I used in the army.
what map is this
>>569706728I know a shoreline when i see one
Its actually insane how I can't get to the superstructureThe aimbot is driving me mad
should I be left clicking or right clicking in knives out arena?
>>569709734Left, mostly.
>rip ammo shotgun raider shoots one arm and then the other arm without missing, gives me two heavy bleeds and instantly blacks out everything but my torso from the heavy bleed and transferred damagejesus christ
>>569713342Tagilla has nearly killed me like that before from like 3/4 the way across factory with slugs. Would've died if I didn't have a zagustin.
Honestly i give up, seems like niggita wanted everyone to cheese with smoke grenadesUtter fucking retardation
>>569713474same here, my grand total was 2 hp left when the zagustin kicked in
>>569713661You mean with Wedge and his boys in the hallway? Yea. I have no idea how they thought a chinese aimbot boss was fun. They literally don't do anything interesting, they just kill you 0.001 seconds after coming around a corner.
>>569714814That part and the one after engine room, its utter aidsIm just gonna cheese the shit out of the whole thing tomorrow, i don't care anymore
>>569715134It's just dumb that BSG can't make the AI do anything interesting. The AI is dumb as fucking rocks as far as their behavior goes. Even BD in the engine room just runs back and forth or stands there looking at a wall. The ones past the engine room just stand behind cover. They don't flank you and they don't move between cover unless you force them with a nade throw or shooting them. Honestly pretty sick of the AI in this game. Tagilla is the only interesting boss in this entire fucking game and even then it's very easy to force him to do shit so you can kill him for free.
Wish BSG would give us the NATO AUG stock. As much as I love the AUG running 42 round mags is kinda annoying since there's only like 4 rigs you can use. Would also love the full CQC handguard. That little Corvus piece of shit is ugly and gay.
Every time i hear a turbo tarky streamer complain about the neck hitbox, it brings a smile to my face :)
>>569716734Why are they even still complaining about that? It's fine now that it's a part of the thorax. It was fucking miserable when it was part of the head since all it really did was extend the head hitbox and make it way easier to get 1 tapped randomly.
>>569709734right in 1v1s left in brawls. aim above the head.
>>569717023They run the game 8 hours a day with nothing but Altyns/Rys-Ts. When the lucky shots from some timmy you were gonna laugh at with your chat kills you, instead of harmlessly bouncing off your gear rated for pistol rounds at best, you are gonna get pretty mad.
>>569717023Its streamers and like 2 of the top 10 are togglers (they disable clipping on their channel) so its pointless to ask why they are still complaining. they are the ultimate retards
>full woods raids>killed all refs men>killed schturd and guards>looted box>walking to outskirts and had to stop at hut for food>ai scav swings corner and taps me when i'm shoving pate down my throatim so mad....
>retarded nigger friends tell me they're bringing my gear out after i immediately get doinked off spawn going to goyraper, don't and then we load into raid together Jesus fucking christ playing this game in a group is suffering
Has to be the greatest grenade I've ever thrown in this game, both were gigakitted for Icebreaker, scored a couch, BD rig and gas mask + 510 rounds of M855A1 with a stack of M856A1 to spare. Also got Chemistry Closet done in the same raid and turned in my last GPU for Mechanic, so I got an extra 6 bitcoins, REAP-IR, 4 Tetrizes and a pistol case from that too.
>>569740945The only person who seems to be suffering is your friend since you sound like a completely retarded and insufferable faggot.
>>569745173kys faggot
>another great heights 4 attempt>another series of matching with braindead niggers straight up refusing to try to win games
>>569745770Thanks for proving my point.
>>569746315Sorry for getting annoyed when they fucking ree if you forget to repair their back plate after forcing you to carry their kit out when their death isn't even your fault and they manage to trip over themselves the one time I actually want them to bring my kit out and they better yet try to tell me to just transit in naked and they'll kill an enemy for me to get a kit instead because it'll be really funny. I didn't called them retarded niggers to their face, I just kept quiet. But you're here being a faggot and I owe nothing to you so I'll call you one. Kys faggot.
why is the audio in this game just so fucking awful now it wasnt like this like two weeks ago
That pistol guy wasnt lyingFUN FACT: you can bring a pistol case into raid which significantly improves this strat, with a single case and 6 pistols like this its 45k per slot
>>569703610Looks like I'm just in time, because I wanted to ask about PvE in Tarkov. Worth getting the game if I just want to PvE? I've just about done everything there's to do at the moment in GZW after a month and a half, which is mostly just grinding quests, had a lot of fun either way. Figured I'll see what the OG is all about.I've heard it's not advised to get the game through Steam, is that true?
>>569752635No, you *should* get the game through Steam. The alternative is their mobile payment processor xsolla which is dogshit and has absolutely no protection on your end, no way to refund etc. Also, fun fact: The game is even more expensive outside of Steam (in EU anyway) because they do not include VAT in the listed price. So in the image's example here, buying through their site the base price of the game is 52€ for a European copy of the game, but the actual price ends up being 70€ (770 SEK). Through Steam it's just 50€ with whatever fee gets drawn through my bank which is maybe 5€. Buy through Steam.I think the reason people say to not play through steam is that every existing player needs to repurchase the game to transfer their game ownership.As for the game itself, it's good but prohibitively expensive. You need to buy the base game for €50, and then the PVE mode for €30. Or you buy the Unheard edition for €200 and get PVE for ""free"". It's unreal how they got away with paywalling PVE.
>>569755780>It's unreal how a company does whatever they want with their own gameYou're a communistic retard.
>>569756457TRVE BELIEVER
>>569756457reddit spacing subhuman faggot
>>569756518>>569756523>NOOOO BSG MUST GIBS ME DAT WHY DO I HAVE TO PAY GRRRRRR
>>569756642Good goy, I hope you rebought Unheard on Steam once it got added to support Nikita.
>>569756817I'm actually an EoDhead, thank you very much.
>>569756642>WHY DO I HAVE TO PAYThis but unironically.
>>569757061Your one off purchase from 2016 isn't helping the game's development in 2026. If I were you, I'd be grateful that Nikita chose microtransactions and fucked over EoD'ers to help the game stay afloat instead of doing something like making the game a $30-$50 monthly subscription to play it.
>>569757805I hope Nigita is grateful every day for God giving him a fanbase that defends him fucking them over no matter what he does.
>>569758002What else would you want Nikita to do to ensure the game doesn't go subscription based to keep the servers running
>>569758142>What else would you want Nikita to doNot waste funds on a failed side game nobody asked for or cares about.
>>569758484And in another universe, you would say the exact same thing about Tarkov so we're right back at square one. So, now. What would you want Nikita to do to keep the game from becoming subscription based?
>be this anon from the previous thread >>569693601>lose my shit harder than I have for years>boot up the game today, put on some cl 6 plated Osprey on and head into Factory with a MP7A1>I preform pic related and get all my remaining new beginning kills>run out of meds, run out of painkillers>limp to gate 3 with 58 hp left, get ambushed by a pscav>manage to facetap the pscav rushing my ass>exfil with a light bleed and 13 hpAlright, that was something else. Downed two duos, of which the latter one was actually properly geared too. Killed four pscavs too. Feel like I had to pull all the tricks in my books to kill all these guys and exfil.But gotta love these raids, where the encounters don't just end in an instant headshot and I actually have to exhaust all my resources in the raid to get out alive. This is why I play this game.
>>569756523>reddit spacingThis has to be the stupidest fucking "accusation" on this board for a while.
its another reset shoreline if i dont get a spawn at smugglers episode
actually its a waiting 6 minutes in a loading queue episode
>>569759469you might notice how your post fits in and reads as expected unlike that subhuman paypig's post
its another anons posting in /eftg/ episode
>>569755780Alright, thank you. For some reason I thought it's also one of those games that don't go on sale, but after looking it up I figured there should to be a discount during summer sale, so I'll get it then.Cheers.
>>569761145Even my oldfag ass has been accused of "that" multiple times, when I've just separated two paragraphs from each other with a line of empty space. It's just stupid.Why even is it "Reddit" to begin with? Does that forum force it or something?
>>569761145Hey, nigger. Quit dodging and answer my post >>569758923
>a duo ambushes me near expo checkpoint at the beginning of the raid>manage to wound the other guy so that he has to start healing himself>they are both inside that dead end lobby>lob some nades and hear the first guy die there>his friend triest to frantically jump on the boxes and bait me to shoot>instead I just relocate behind the fence and the sandbags>just stay dead silent>the remaining dude absolutely refuses to exit the building or take the initiative in any way>after like 20 minutes of just staying silent, he comes outside>he does a peek and aims around, let him come out properly>blast his ass, when he has no coverNormally I hate being a rat like this, but when a duo fucks up their ambush this bad, I'll 100% camp the ever loving shit out of the last guy, when I have the advantage.
Did they change any AI in the last 12 hours? I've gotten wrecked by 100% accurate raiders the whole day. Like back-to-back-to-back-to-back thorax bursts and head,eyes
>>569765057I literally just got one tapped by a Sanitar guard from ~100 meters away with a Saiga-12 through a bush at night like 5 minutes ago.
>>569740945Plenty of fish in the sea, anon. Don't spend years together with people you dislike.
>>569748195Just tell them you're not carrying their shit anymore. Cumbersome dead slots that bring you no actual value.Wanted to keep your kit? Shouldn't have died, and since they won't reciprocate and bring your shit then they have no grounds to complain. Don't be a doormat. If that's an issue to them then you're not really friends and you are unironically far better off alone.
>>569757805Wow what a fucking spineless piece of shit. You are a customer and have rights, you know. Also, you are so naive to think that all your donation will be spent on game development. 10 years and Tarkov is still a buggy, lacklusting mess. Nikita only works when he's running out of money, not otherwise.Thank god I never bought into BSG promises and wishful thinking by addicts like you to spend 250$ on this janky video game. Neck yourself you scammers defending fuckwit.
>>569748195>WTF KEVINNNN GET MY KIT!!! Not really making a good case for yourself. You still sound like an insufferable fuckwit. Just throw on another fucking kit you big gay baby and tell your friends they're being annoying instead of coming to 4chan to whine behind their backs.
>>569771715every post you make stands out like a sore thumb, you need to kill yourself
>>569716426You're right, though I will say that there are quite a few more armored vests and rigs with 3x1 slots in the game now than in years prior
>>569771876Oh yea? Tell me which posts are mine, dumbass. I'll give you a hint, I've only made two in the last eight hours and both of them are telling you that you're retarded.
>need some endurance for prestige>go jogging on woods all stimmed up, while still wearing big boy gear>in the middle of fucking nowhere suddenly start to hear running around me>while still running myself, turn my head and see a turbo timmie in barebones gear crouching and aiming at me>stop for a millisecond, blast his brains out>instead of looking for his friends, just keep going, since I don't want to waste any stim effectsI wonder how it all looked like from the timmie squad's perspective and what his friends ended up doing after I blasted their friend and saniced out of there. Maybe they are still there, aiming at their comrade's corpse?
>>569756457this nigga bought unheard just for the jacket
why do i have the neutralizer class when i barely have any kills, it used to be marauder before i did setup (which was cancer at this point in the wipe)
The Terminator is the ugliest backpack I ever saw!
>>569779649It really is hideous. When I need a large bag I run the SATL even though the layout isn't exactly ideal and it's not the biggest bag.
>>569779649It's also ridiculously bulky looking considering it's container size.
>>569779996The two large cylindrical pouches on the SATL remind me of a tarantula's mandibles!

>>569782787I enjoyed DMZ 1.0, it was a casual and fun break from a 2023 cheaters infested tarkov.
>>569768595Trying to get money as a developer is scamming the consumer? You are a communist that doesn't know how anything works. >>569782787The first DMZ was stupid and so is this. I honestly don't even know how Call of Duty isn't dead yet.
>>569780486for me it's pedipalps :::3
why is the Gladiator-S armour icon all red?
>>569791916Because it's bugged and missing a piece of soft armor. You can still wear it.
>>569792035i just launched arena to do a ref task and can't check, but which soft armour is missing? i assume the chest, right?
>>569792292It's one of the side pieces I believe.
>>569792292No, one of the sides
speaking of arena, the 9a-91 might be the worst fucking gun in the game. such an inaccurate piece of shit.
>>569793263I used it for one game, bought the p90 right after and never touched it again
>>569793263The VSK isn't bad itself, but it's shit in arena because you need to use the suppressor and it's prohibitively expensive for what it is. Even with the ability to use SP-6, it's not worth it over using the AS-VAL or even the VSS.
>full rat kit for woods shooter born>load into map>realize I accidentally loaded into reserve
unrelated but who ever at 4chan designed this new captcha system should be skinned alive.such an obvious attempt at getting more people to purchase passes
>>569807130t. room temperature iq retard and habitual problem poster
>>569790708>Trying to get money as a developer is scamming the consumer?If you lie, yes it's scamming. If I sell you a car at top market price, promise you that you will never have to pay for repairs as long as you live as a condition of the deal, then 10 years later I tell you that you're going to start paying for repairs, I have breached my arrangement. I have scammed you, I've switched the deal to literally fuck you over. Nikkitia's pockets are lined through reselling accounts to chinks anyway, anyone with a spine wouldn't have bought unseen edition. I still have EOD out of principle.
>>569807424you bought the pass? BWHAHAHAHAHAHAH, faggot.
>>569758002he's in a solid position, EFT is like crack and his fanbase are addicts. I swear to god, if he started charging $15 a month for the game, made a tier subscription system where $15 a month gets you the alpha and $30 a month gets you gamma, people would flock to the $30 a month. This fanbase is mostly unemployed neets with ample time on their hands
>>569808015Nope, I'm just not brown or retarded. If you weren't constantly swapping IPs, getting banned, etc. you wouldn't even need to do captchas. The newest captcha is literally an IQ test and everyone who complains about it immediately outs themselves as not only a fucking retarded, but a dumb cunt who makes constant low quality posts.
>>569807863A game in active development which needs a continuous flow of money to stay alive is not in anyway shape or form, comparable to a car.
>>569808301>The newest captcha is literally an IQ testBro, 4chan isn't a flex that you're smart. Dumbass rick and morty redditor. stick a dildo up your ass, faggot.
>>569808605You know how I said all of your posts stick out? Would you care to guess why that is the case?
>>569808507cars need a continuous flow of money too. nikkita just wants to take you all for a ride. that whole fiasco was an exit scam but it blew up so much he 180'd
>>569810016I have seen people for years say it was an exit scam but haven't heard a coherent argument for it being so besides retarded communists like yourself screeching. There's nothing that indicates that it was.
>>569807863That's a kinda retarded anology and it really does not fit, but I see what you were going for. Arguably, Arena can't be considered DLC the same way you could consider PvE as DLC. Where Nikita fucked up is connecting Arena to the base game in a way that gave tangible benefits, which tied it enough to be where it really should've been included for EoD owners. It's not hard to see what Nikita's thought process about that was. >Nikkitia's pockets are lined through reselling accounts to chinks anywayThis is a borderline schizo conspiracy theory as well. Chinks and cheaters buy accounts on third party gray sites, not directly from BSG. >>569808605Yet here you are bitching because it's clearly a problem for you. Congrats on outing yourself as not only the dumbest nigger ITT, but a habitual low quality poster. >>569810016Cars need a continuous flow of money in the form of repair, not the pay for new features, which is why your analogy was kinda stupid. >that whole fiasco was an exit scam but it blew up so much he 180'dThis is fucking retarded, anon. It was just greed trying to get players with literally zero reason to spend more money on the game to spend more money. He used some goofy roundabout logic to justify it to himself and it justifiably backfired. He figured out they can just make even more cosmetics and charge money for those, which they've been doing all along.
>>569810726Based TrveBeliever.
>>569810726I hope you aren't using the term 'greed' in a negative way. There is nothing *inherently* wrong with wanting loads of money. But otherwise, you are correct.>>569810870We own you.
>>569810726>This is a borderline schizo conspiracy theory as well.It's not, he puts the game on sale right after big ban waves.
>>569810971you'd understand scamming/thievery real quick if a nigger had knife at you for your wallet
>>569811286Your Nikita Derangement Syndrome is off the charts.
>>569808507janky russian game needs $250 pop for science state of art development, yusits not like games have done way more with much less
>>569811537nikkitia will reward you with 5% off on unheard once its added to steam. good goy
>>569809270>he can't actually tell which posts are mine despite his claimsAlmost as embarrassing as your initial melty post, anon. >>569810971Nah, not really a negative way more just a matter of fact way. As I said, EoD players had no reason to upgrade to Unheard so he cooked up a scheme to try and get them to spend more money.>>569811032I've seen this stated multiple times, but have never seen anyone actually provide proof.
>>569811578If you are too poor to afford the $250 version which Nikita isn't forcing you to even pay, you can buy the other more affordable versions. It's actually a pretty generous deal considering they're spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on salaries for their employees. And you only have to pay once. >>569811729I don't have Tarkov on Steam, so.>>569812161I'm an EoDhead but I was tempted to buy Unheard a few weeks ago when they revealed that Unheard would be able to have access to both faction's clothing. That's pretty cool. But I don't think I'll buy Unheard anyways because I'm still pretty content with Edge of Darkness.
>>569812763I personally see no reason to buy Unheard if you have EoD, even now. I wouldn't have bought Unheard if EoD were still available. I don't really regret it since it was disposable income and I'm nearing 2,000 hours played. I also don't really give a fuck how other people spend their money. If you personally find it worth it, then good for you. If you don't then it's whatever, stick with what you got. You're not obligated to upgrade and Nikitas attempt at forcing the issue failed.
They should relax some of these flea market restrictions. Some weapons are just locked for no reason at all. Like why can I buy the X-17 Scar-H, but not the regular one? They're the same thing!
>>569814607the x-17 can even use 50 round mags..
I didn't swap my GPU for better performance in Tarkov, but it is remarkable how changing from a 1080ti to a 3080 has been totally imperceptible in-game.
i wouldnt mind them removing the restrictions from the 60 round 556 mags. got loads of thjem from the ref scavs and they resell to mechanic like dogshit
>>569815432it's all about having 64gb ram and better cpu..
I'd actually prefer the flea be a bit more restrictive. You can even buy level 5 plates on there again. I think that's probably to give players late to 1.0 the ability to buy decent plates though.
they're gonna drop the unseen edition for 500$, it'll come with boss pockets and a hideout cat
i just had an internet cut on the bridge in customs after clearing reshala and his goons and when i came back i died. i wish i had a rape goblin that i could rape and abuse in times like this
>>569818859and female playable char
>>569819619not even goblins deserva that.
>>569772048Yea, there's more than there used to be but it's still mildly irritating. I don't remember 100%, but I think the alpha rig is the only one that has four 1x3 slots and the rest only have three? It's just hard from a practical perspective to justify running the AUG for any reason but fun. Not that you need any other reason, of course.
>>569823232Naw, at this point it's only the difficulty of accessing M855A1 that makes that hard.I don't think I'll ever need more than two or three 40-round mags + one or two 30-rounders in a raid, and for that I can use:CSA rigAlpha rigStich Profi armored rigStich Profi mod. 2 armored rigStrandhogg armored rigRBAV-AF armored rigTV-110 armored rigCPC armored rigOsprey armored rig
>>569825017>Naw, at this point it's only the difficulty of accessing M855A1 that makes that hard.Fortunately that's not an issue that I have. But that's what I mean in general, most rigs just have SOME 1x3s. The Stich and the Alpha are the only two that have four 1x3s. You totally don't need all your mags to be 42 round mags, but you may as well go all the way into the bit at that point. Thus my hope that they add the NATO stock so I can just mitigate the whole thing and run the surefeed casket mags. I also wish they'd added Alpha recolors in a color that people actually want. The OD is bright as shit and the rest are all some form of fucking tan.

>look up the event>see shturman is spawning 100%>fuck it let's try hunting trip>it actually fucking worksI have 0 shturman experience, I never kill this guy. Turns out you can just flub your way through it kek, just get up in there.https://streamable.com/qkkp89
>>569848823idk what they did to his AI but he is the 2nd dumbest boss of the game
>>569849589Yeah I have no idea, I just never go to the sawmill. He's the one boss that I just never kill, cause I figure I would just get camped when I loot him. Then getting his stash seems totally bullshit, like you'd just get headshot looting that too. I was able to loot his key after this clip though, so maybe I'll try looting his stash at night sometime.
>>569850087The fact he just aggros on the BTR and starts mag dumping it is the freest thing in this entire game, he also doesnt hit headshots anymore
>>569850241Well none of the bosses on their own are particularly hard, it's really just whether the areas they spawn in make it easy for you to be 3rd partied by PMCs. When you think about shturman's AI really has to be the most gimped boss AI in the game. He spawns in a wide open area with little cover lol. What are they gonna let him do? Instant headshot you through bushes at 100m? Just wouldn't make sense. It's better for him to reposition a lot deep within the sawmill to force players to stick their necks out to push him. They way all the players have to compete. But yeah he shouldn't just shoot the BTR, that's dumb.
>>569741764thats just beautiful. It was a nade like that which made me bring at least two into raid now. The domino's of quest that fall after that GPU is just a great feeling on top. >thanks for sharing...that's the good shit right there
>survive iceburger with a couple mil profit>arena crate gave me a pkpm key right afterthe slave gods smile upon me
I finally unlocked transfers in Arena. Only took half a year. I got the first win with the gear anon here provided me with and the second in the new Streets of London mode.
>>569856663That gun paint doesn't really look like MultiCam, does it?
How do I do To Great Heights part 5 without killing myself? I've been trying for hours at this point.
>>569869283Git gud
>>569816698I don't see the point of making it more restricted. The main game isn't wiping so let's say someone buys Tarkov a year from now, literally everyone they encounter is going to be some level 60 rape demon and they'll just get their shit pushed in each time they play. I think if anything, since the main game isn't wiping, they should remove loads of restrictions from the flea market. Or Nikita should just say fuck it and reintroduce wipes into the main game instead of following through on that seasonal wipe stuff.
>>569856663>CQCMHappy Pride month!
>>569856663it only took you half a year to do half of ref's quest line? what?
>>569876336Well yea, I even mentioned the plates in my post. It's FINE how it is, but I wouldn't really mind if it was a bit more restrictive. I think loosening the flea entirely would almost definitely be the wrong move though.
>>569877350Yes. While I had some stretches of not playing Arena (but playing EFT like a crack addict), I suck so bad at this game that I couldn't manage to fulfill the conditions until recently. I have 0,5KD in Arena and 0.11 in EFT. The funniest thing is, I have a decent PC that actually runs the games reasonably well, but I scored my final win on a Tablet PC with 4GB VRAM.
>>569885482I think loosening up the "hardcore" belt would do wonders for new players. I'd be okay with a bunch of changes over some time to hook new players in...then have him slowly tighten the reigns again. I would like to hear the wailing an gnashing of both poopsockers on loosening, and restricting from the freshies. More fresh blood is a good thing in the long run for the small cost of RMT'ers and Streamers having slightly more loot for a small amount of time.
>>569890390if you're relatively good at other FPS games, then I think it's an entirely mental hurdle for you. Be brave anon and Chad it up for a bit. You don't need all that gear in your stash
>>569890586That's why I think it's fine as it is. There's not really that much that's flea banned aside from ammo, which I think is better for the game anyway. My opinions on the ammo availability are probably not the most popular, though.
>>569890886You can buy 7n40 and m8855a1 on the flea. My main gripe is that you can't get cl5 until mid lvl 30's or so so you just get 2 tapped by everyone unless you can snag a plate every few raids off someone.
>>569890886agreed>opinions on ammowell?>I also think bounties would be a fun idea. If someone kills you then you can put money on their head that anyone AT or BELOW your level can claim. If they die to anything other than a PMC then the bounty disappears or goes to a giant pool for a quarterly goal/quest.
>>5698914547n40 and m855a1 is ridiculously expensive though. it's like 300,000 for just a box of 120.
Forgot that I still had Hunting trip to do in order to unlock the sako quest
Oh fuck I forgot to bring extra ammo
>>569891816You can just scav reserve or play streets and farm some ammo up, sell what you won't use and then buy exclusively m8855a1 or 7n40 while packing the flea-restricted ammo on top while making a profit. Also the prices are usually around 180-240k from what I remember for m855a1. 7n40 isn't even really that necessary with how much 545 bp the game throws at you anyways.
>>569890737Jokes on you, I'm also bad at other FPS. But I'm still positive on beating the story. In terms of killing other players, the hurdles aren't that high. I'll look into getting some help from other players when the time is right, e.g. with the later Batya quest. The current bottoeneck is killing the cultist Priest. They're either just not around or the area is contested by some ESPing faggot.On that note, I wonder if clearing Boreas counts as having obtained a major evidence for the purposes of the Saviour route?
>>569891454If you buy that shit on the flea you're a dumbass. It's wildly overpriced.
>>569892668I'm prestiging and I have more money then I need most of the time, while also not wanting to waste time farming ammo.
>Landed a m993 shot on this guys head, and it obviously bounced, Swapped to my sidearm and died like a retardWe got hunting trip done though and left with a taiga
>>569892579>killing the cultist Priestcultists can spawn at anytime throughout the raid. The safer option would be to bring some food and bounce between spawns on woods. You can also join a dead server at peak work/sleep hours and maybe run into one or two guys on Customs. I wish you best of luck. If you need inspiration on the success of perseverance watch AquaFPS. He sucks but he keeps going. I believe in you Anon. You WILL win.
>>569891545>well?Level 6 plates should be borderline unobtainium, and so should Altyns and Rys-Ts. Along with that 41+ pen ammo should be exclusively FiR and rare on top of that, or craft only as they are now. None of that scaving reserve and walking out with 400 rounds of 5.45 BS shit. The problem with crafts is that you can do what I did with M855a1 and spend two months spamming the craft, so there would need to be some kinda tweaks to balance it out. Basically the idea is to do sorta what Nikita intended with disallowing players to shove ammo in their asshole. He wanted players to be running SOME good ammo and more mid tier stuff to try and balance out the>every single mag is full of the best ammo in the game and the player has more in his assshit that was honestly kind of a problem for the game. Basically, I think Tarkov would be a better and more fun game if fights lasted longer and armor/helmets felt like they actually fucking mattered outside of the rare ricochet. Ammo is the single most important factor in weapon lethality so the way that BSG and Nikita have ended up "balancing" the game is really weird. It's stupid easy to have extremely powerful ammo and they've handed it, and high level plates, out like candy over the course of 1.0 so far. It's far too late to do anything about it now, but maybe they'll do something like that in a season at some point. Arena is a good example of this problem, since the values are all kinds of fucked. Everyone is running around with high pen ammo and fights are over very quickly. They've tried to increase the TTK by increasing plate levels and it's worked to some extent, but I think it would've been more interesting to lower the ammo levels instead. Granted, I also could be wrong and it could end up feeling like you've got an airsoft gun in practice, but I think it would be an interesting experiment for a seasonal modifier at the very least.
>>569894061I had to stop myself from quoting some variation of "correct" on every statement in that post. I am pleasantly surprised to see actual good ideas and reasons. Thank you. May you win all your fights today.
>>569893821>AquaFPSThat guy is living proof that anyone saying Kappa/Terminal/old Prestige is too hard is a coping retard shitter, if Aqua can do it, literally anyone can.He's also openly against Arena and Unheard, as much as I hate streamers he's unironically one of the more respectable ones.
>blatant walling cheater>in fucking Arena last heroIt really doesn't get any sadder than this.
>>569894061i think you contradict yourself here. if you wanted fights to last longer and be more cinematic and interesting, it would make sense for class 5 and 6 armor to be available on the flea market AND for ammo to be restricted to level 4 penetration only on the flea market as well as nerfing all the class 5-6 shredder ammo that can be found in places like on streets. i think that would be cool to see.
>>569896173I don't think so. If everyone were running around with level 6 plates, but 40~ pen ammo it would just be obnoxious. Level 5 plates with most ammo being mid tier is probably the sweet spot where your ammo feels impactful, but doesn't entirely ignore armor. I remember very specifically hitting a guy over 30 times with ss190 in the front and back without killing him because he was running full level 6 plates. I shot a guy 24 times in the chest with FMJ SX earlier in 1.0 on labs without killing him. I have thought about this some, you know.
>>569894061Nah, restricting ammo is garbage. Nothing worse than dumping a mag into a PMC and doing no damage because you couldn't get the "good" ammo. Making stuff rare only benefits the sweatlords than can farm / grind 12h a day. If you want fights to last longer you need to make guns less accurate and remove stuff like getting perfect stabilization from holding breath in any stance.
>really good Icebreaker run>get to helipad>there is a BD laying prone behind the first set of boxes>didn't react to any of the nades>went to clear the two crates on the pad and got destroyed from the backman..... lesson learned I guess I never saw them get that close
>>569900339>you need to make guns less accurate>why yes I do want to roll the dice that my gun will shoot straight every time I pull the triggerNo thanks.
>>569900972You already roll the dice with ricochet and penetration chance.
i'd prefer the cool feeling guns to not feel like absolute shit thank you very much
>>569901829So better to add even more RNG and in a particularly annoying way? Again, no thanks. I want my gun to shoot where I'm pointing it. The game already takes MoA into account in any case, and your guns will become less accurate as you use them. Frankly, I think we'd see a lot more guns at "low" durability and the decreased MoA coming into effect if the malfunction chance wasn't so fucking high. I sell the receiver on any gun below 93% because there's a 90% chance the piece of shit is going to jam in the first fight I get in to.
>felt like using the 9mm vector in arena>was gunna use the 33 round mags because i think the drums look stupid>remembered they did thisWonder how long it's gunna take them to revert this because I'd be willing to bet that like 4 people total have bothered unlocking these fucking things.
>>569909074>>was gunna use the 33 round mags because i think the drums look stupidDangerously based, total drumnigger death.Just use the 31 rounder I guess.
>>569909236Yea, there's really not much difference but it's still goofy as shit. There's no way they actually thought people were actually gunna get hundreds of kills with a G17 in arena's current balance.
>>569909335Yeah it's pretty ridicolous, I guess it would be doable with a G18 but not with a basic ass Glock lmao.
>>569909454I mean, I have no doubt the G18 was the reason behind removing everyone's unlock of the 33 round mags and then putting them behind the G17 in the first place. It was basically the only sidearm people actually used, but you can still use the 50 round drums and the 31 round mags so what was even the fucking point? Just super weird and totally pointless except to very minorly inconvenience people out of two extra rounds if they didn't want to use the drums.
>Auto RAM cleaner option enabledconstant out of memory crashes on several of the more unoptimized maps (nu shoreline, streets, customs and interchange)>Auto RAM cleaner option disabledsmooth sailing without crashes traded for some stutteringCan BSG manage to do anything right?
just crawled up on some chad on my scav that was just about to extract from dorms and i shotgunned him in the legs and took all of his shieet. can't believe it actually worked too. i was using the revolver shotgun
funny how the rogues are the biggest threat on icebreaker. can barely make it past these fuckers but BD is a cake walk.
>>569914634>these ai that i cheese with smokes r so ez lamo
dead gay thread
Rogues on Icebreaker are truly becoming, too annoying
>arena back to having completely unreadable audio againHow the fuck does it work one day then not the next? Dude literally sprinting inside my asshole making no fucking noise.
You know what I want BSG to add? Glowsticks that I can throw or drop.
>>569942257>Throw one of these out, purple colored specially>"ENEMY FRAG!!!!!">Get run down by 4 rogues and die.
>>569942257Birdeye keeps a few glowsticks or road flares on his fanny pack
>>569944685Yea, they make sense as part of a kit. Would also be cool if they added a couple drug rugs like Birdeye has on.
the small tan 3x3 black division rig has built in class 4 side armor. the more you know!
>rip all the gucci parts off a model 1>replace them all with adar furniture>sell it all for retarded prices on the fleafree money glitch working 2026
Think I need to focus on actually doing the quests instead of Looting ammo nonstop
>>569947653That and Skip the rogue fights whenever I get new keycards since I keep selling them.
if you didn't unlock icebreaker on pvp before they changed the transit you're a POSER
>>569952863"Changed the transit"?
>>569954659He means where the moved it closer to the pier so you weren't a free kill.You can still get camped pretty easily but it's not as bad at lesat
how many knives out missions are there?im on the 3rd headshots only one
>>569954659they moved it from pier to the dock by the stairs because everyone and their mother was camping it
>>569957128That's the last one, I think.
Which SMG is the best to run on Icebreaker I have so much AP 6.3, 45 AP and 5.7 ammo that Idk what to do with all of theseDrum mag MP5? or the Goozi? P90(repacking hell)
>>569958091>(repacking hell)Not for a while. The P90 is entirely usable with the changes they made to mag packing debuffs on the high capacity mags.
>>569958210Oh I didn't know they changed repacking at all.
>>569958425Yea, when they changed all the weapon attachment stats around. All the drum mags have like -15% pack speed vs the like -40% or more debuffs they had.
>>569958091something cheap you wouldn't mind dropping for BD guns
>>569962205Right, the BD guns are even in pristine condition
>>569958091Saw a video guide of a guy clearing the ship with a P90 and it seems like a solid choice, no recoil, large mags, and you can find ammo on BDs.
Finally cleared the map, Thought I could bypass talking to the scientist but nah I guess I have to go back to him regardless
fugdoes it still count for the 0-50% condition or should i assume that BSG's bullshit mandates that i bring it in and take another percent off it?
>>569967179Double click the armor and look at the durability, maybe it's 77.1 or something.Or just don't be a jew and buy a damaged one on the flea.
>>569967179Maybe it does, maybe it doesn't, you can always be a jew and buy a damaged one on the Flea
It's a little worn but it's on the flea for an accessible price and you get a bonus 55A1 in the chamber!!!!!
>just reached level 25>can finally buy ammunition cases off the fleaThank FUCK
Did someone even try the transit XP boost and hopping onto the Icebreaker? surely this shit can give you like over 2 mil xp
>>569968182>>569968237it's 77 on the dot, i may have lucked out here
>>569970034Let us know if you were able to turn it in, the anticipation is killing us.
Bolt action rifles and their consequences have been a disaster for the human race, we could have spent another century larping as John Wayne but nooo, the British government just had to force everyone to use this shit until that Mormon guy freed us
this felt amazing.
I'm going to call both Heckler and Koch personally and tell them Nikita has not fixed my favorite gun in vidya. WHY ARE THE IRONSIGHTS STILL FUCKED WHEN YOU LEAN YOU ORC FAGGOT
How do I stop being scared to move across open spaces in PVP?
>>569988106>repeat "I'm not dead yet">scan prior>don't think too much about it>focus on objective only
absolutely teeming
>>569988106Just check the tree line real quick, half the time when you get clapped by what appears to be the gayest and most melanated gentleman you've ever seen, the dude wasn't actually camping but just taking twenty seconds to check how clear it was before crossing himself.
>>569991413>5(five) smokes worth 3300 roubles a piece>3 injectors not in your case>redundant CALOK-Bs>a whole Surv kit not in your Special slotThis is completely unacceptable!
>>569988036I should bring one of these into icebreaker. Bet it'd be fun.
One day I'll figure out that secret movement tech in arena that allows someone to somehow shoot me 11 times in a tenth of a second while sprinting away from me, to just manifest around corners or instantly go back to cover instead of having to walk like the timmy faggot I am and generally to strafe twice as fast while blinking instead of having to move in a continuous and predictable manner.I'm sure Gigabeef has made another 3 hour video about this but I refuse to engage with streamers.
>>569995495he also missed >stacking ammo properly>food that isn't sugar>flare/surv kit not in special slot>empty 100 mags
>>569999239he also also has actually extracted from Icebreaker so I have no legs to stand on. And I can only image the shakes and just being excited for getting out with those other items. >Good job >>569991413
>>569995495>>569999239I was running out of time you backseat fags
>Exfil helmet cover only works on the black onelol
>>570002083Yeah it sucks ass
>>570002083>still can't put a face shield on the black wendy
>don't even remember what was in hereI really gotta find more friends to play with so I'm not running like 5 raids a week.
>>570004720I think that's intentional, the rails are covered.
>>570005164Yea, the model is different for whatever reason and normally I would agree, but there's a literal fucking black version so why the hell is the black helmet itself different?
>>570005313Well, it's a black version of the FACESHIELD, anon :^)What interests me more is why they swapped them around, you used to not be able to use faceshields on the tan Exfil before they got updated, now it's the other way around.
Beside the FOV, is there any significant difference between the GPNVGs and the Armasight N-15? I haven't run the GPNVGs that often so I don't remember how its clarity and view distance are
>>570007964There is quite a noticeable difference, you can see them on the wiki.
>>570007964The only superior thing about the N-15s is that they're white phosphorous making them easier on the eyes. Otherwise the GPNVGs are brighter and have a much wider field of view.
>>570008097>>570008348Thanks anons, they are definitely clearer. I'll try them tonight.
>>570009256Good luck. Remember that if you have Skier 4 you can get it for a very good price through the RFID barter. They are currently 60k on the flea, might wanna buy a few.
If you did the event you can buy Arena armbands from Ref for 1 GP coin and vendor them for 93k to Ragman.
>>570009769I am still lvl 31, so for now the cheapest barter I have available (I think) is the moonshine one from PK 3. Still, good to know. Thank you anon
>>570011180Anytime, man.
>>570010042What do the armbands look like?
>>570014447https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Armband_(ARENA)
>>570015576Oh, that one. Thought there was something new for the current event.
I think it's really fun that no matter what you need to do fucking assessment if you want to unlock lightkeeper. Lighthouse would probably be more tolerable if it didn't cost 5 million fucking rubles to unlock. Timmies will never unlock this shitty fucking map.
I miss the saturation slider. colorful tarkov just hit different.
>>570020820Yea, I really want them to fix the postfx. I want my color back. By default the game is so dull.
>>570020820Just go into nvidia control panel and turn up digital vibrance.
I swear the hideout causes some kind of memory leak.
>>570021810forgot this existed, thanks
okay seriously what the fuck is up with AI and shooting armpits? I legitimately cannot get them to actually damage my plates or general soft armor, it's always the armpit if they hit my chest at all, or the arms/legs. It wasn't like this before, but AI without AP ammo will just shoot around your armor now.
I miss the knives mode already. Had more fun with it than anything else in Arena.
>>570026106I don't. It was run for a few games, but that was it. Was great for showcasing how fucking awful and unreliable the melee is and how the netcode barely works though
>My last 5 kills are all bear I wonder if peacekeeper quests are worth it
Can BD gear show up on max Fence?
>>570032152Yea, but I haven't seen any. I really haven't seen anything cool on there. The best stuff on there for me is some armored vests that end up being a bit cheaper than buying them normally. Full korunds for like 110k, stuff like that.
>scav mains too scared to go to icebreaker and loot it themselves
>>570035642It was a genuine question out of pure curiosity, fag.
>>570035642>he says when he's certainly abused smoke to kill BD every single timePost a video of you killing the BD in the engine room without cheesing their AI or you're a tar skinned nigger.
zero to hero in pvp is fun as fuck but holy shit is it stressful
>hit 10,000 rounds of M855a1 again>next on the list is a couple thousand rounds of AP-M so i can take a tacticooled out VPO into factory so I can spam it at timmiesI don't use AP-M anywhere else since the Gorny is an inaccurate shit rod but holy shit is it fun to use to meme with on factory. I've died with this goofy ass set up before and I always wish I could see the reactions to a juiced out VPO.
>the AEM5 suppressor can't fit on shorter barrelC'mon we are so close to perfection.
>>570037740There's like two barrels it fits on its so irritating. We don't have any front sight flashlight mounts either which is doubly irritating. I'd larp all the time if I could run a light on an m16 or CAR clone.
>>570035642I have the hovercraft unlocked, but I really don't feel like going to the Shoreline pier
>>570033574You can buy red flares for 28k roubles. You can buy crowbars for 24k roubles, then barter them for Specter scopes. You can buy side armor plates suspiciously cheaply.
>>570041449I have like 60 mil and a stash full of gear, all the little nickle and dime stuff is pretty whatever for me unfortunately.
>>570036690i see the point you're trying to make but i don't think that's even possible. you can fight BD straight up without smokes ezpz but i don't think i've seen anyone take a fair fight with wedge because of how inhuman his reactions and accuracy are. (never made it to the boss hallway personally)
>>570044290Good thing I didn't mention Wedge then, huh?
>>570044290in the engine room there are 6 dudes that spawn on high ground and instantly shoot and surround you , there is no spot you can hide at and you dont have the time to run away anymore
>>570048052my apologies i misread but also assumed you weren't retarded enough to think the engine room is doable without smokes. you just play around the edges of the engine turbine things closest to the stairs you come down and when BD push one way, you wrap around to the other side and they'll run all the way back around the catwalks. rinse and repeat to avoid getting pinched. you can fight the heli pad, the dudes under it, and they guys at the breach door too without cheese. any other excuses, retard?>>570049134see above, you just dance around a corner
>>570049568Nigger, what do you think my fucking point was? That you need smokes and that BD isn't beatable without smokes? Learn to read, dumbass.
>>570049965nope sorry you're wrong i win >gigachad.jpg
>>570050258
>>570049568>you just dance around a cornerthere is no corner nigga they have 2 lines of sight around the whole engine
Sweatiest lobby in a while. Had to swap off my "fun" kit since there was some fucking cretin with an MP7 shitting the place up. It's strange how the VSS feels straight up worse in every single way to the VAL even though it theoretically shouldn't.
>>570024084It probably does. I'm pretty sure it stays loaded after you go in there once.
>>570060528wow that SHORT phimosis rifle looks SO smaaall haha.. ha...
>>570060528The only cool people that play this game are the Japanese. I like seeing their Twitter posts. And they aren’t total subhumans like the rest of the playerbase on Twitter.
Mk-18 feels great on the Buckbreaker, headshotting BD is satisfying as fuck
Huh, weird. Apparently assists are weighted more heavily than kills in TF in regard to MVP, since this guy didn't capture any objectives.
>>570065481Yea, I have most of the English speaking Tarkov streamers/youtubers blocked or muted on twitter. They're never really doing anything interesting and most of their tweets are negative and gay. https://x.com/Ce1iqrrr_/status/2064202670370668735The japanese are always doing something goofy or positive.
>>570036727one of the most fun times in Tarkov. I've yet to do a zero-to-hero marathon run. I think it should be an achievement next to snowball
>outside on icebreaker>Knight wallbangs me can these apes code anything right?
SAIN is good! Good!
>>570011180You're not farming the new Black Division nods? I think they're superior to the GPNVGs in all ways possible
>>570079417buy an ad, faggot
>>570080472aren't they just blue GPNVGs?
>>570082024Yea they're white phospor Like the n-15 but with the quality of GPNVGs, and they're not fucking tan which basically glow in the dark
Pun4 is such pain right now, lighthouse feels so totally dead. I think people are avoiding the map because everyone knows the rework is coming. I should be waiting too but pun4 is my main pvp quest right now
>>570065481Same, I've seen so many cool builds and drip combos on the honorabru samurai twitter, western streamers would NEVER...>>570082193>tfw still no black GPNVGs
>>570083667You gotta understand that It takes at least 6 years of development time to change the colors of items and they have to also lock said new colored items behind AI made quests
>>570083809Now it all makes sense. I should purchase The Unheard Edition to support development.
Was feeling that my in game colors were odd for some reason, turns out I had my monitor on night mode 24/7 for the longest time and just realized now
did they ever rework jamming or is it still the same percentage from 50-93% durability? a jam at 90 something durability just fucked me up
>>570085104it was never touched upon after 90 dura you might aswell be firing a musket
You can get Siege-R rigs from the circle if you have the Jager quest to turn in BD rigs. I wonder if it can also spawn the other LV-119.
>>570085245what an amazing mechanic, I'm never touching anything below 95 ever again
>>570085104they changed the multiplier from overheating and suppressors but not the base jam%
>>570086780Specially if you're a supressor only kind of dude, jams are going to be constant
I am so fucking sad that I lost my last raid bag by some fucking BD goon, my FCPC farm is gone now
amazing
>>570088195What a fucking gamer
>>570088195these new players are catching up too quickly
Just died in the most retarded way possible
What happened to that huge backpack that had the ram barter?
>>570088835yeah
>>570089082ram event is over
>>570089152yea but why did they remove the fucking bag aswell?
>>570088195Unheard of.
>>570089241the rush? i think it's just one of those unobtanium bags
>>570089241>>570089709you can still get it from the supply airdrop or whatever one that has backpacks in it
>>570089709The black one with the bear logo on it
>>570089928Not that I ever found anything good in airdrops, still that backpack has the ops logo on it so I already wasn't ever going to use it
>>570090437I think I've found a ledx and some samples stims early 1.0it's pscav bait, suicide as a pmc
>AP SX doesnt one shot rogues to the headyea this run is fucking over
>>570090683AP SX and PPBS won't even one shot players to the head, anon. Best collect that ammo only for selling to Ref.
>>570090880god motherfuckin damn.I just wanted to use something that isn't an M4 or MCX for once
>>5700909295.45 BP and especially BS can deal with rogue headgear. Then there's 7.62x51mm M80. If it's Icebreaker you're playing, you could even bring an AVT-40 with LPS ammo or better, though its small mags would necessitate bringing a backup gun.
>>570091170Yea it's Icebreaker I did a run with the P90 and it went well but none of the BD guys that raid spawned with Five Sevens or P90s, then there's nothing really in .45 and lastly I don't want to bring an uzi, I'll just build a compact MCX and larp through it
???
>>570090929Just use FMJ SEX like a normal person.
>>570092114Thought that I would be bouncing a lot of shots from the BD helmets
what are we hoping for in the weekly Nikita teaser video tonight?>full length RIS II FSP to go with all the other new DD parts>first look at M249>showing off new mechanic from July wipe like UN or roaming BD>MP5/MP5K mods
>>570092189It has like 40 pen, you should be fine.
>>570092557Um, a FAMAS, a Desart Eagel, the SPAS-12, the Krieg from Counter-Strike, the Barrett 1882
If someone like this shot you IRL would you be scared or pissed off at how stupid they look
TROMBLEY?!?!
>>570089929yeah RUSH 100. got a couple from a weekly. unlistable on flea.
can someone explain to me how I spawned here and ran to icebreaker and there was a guy proned in a bush to the right of the entry within 40 seconds of spawn? My spawn is the red circle. I'm pretty annoyed that I got such a clean spawn but I have no clue how someone would even be in that bush I was just sprinting so he just tapped me
>it's another episode of 'Wedge guard literally 180s me through a smoke in a fraction of a millisecond'I can defend most shit they do but Icebreaker AI is genuinely unacceptable.
>>570095632I didn't know it was possible to spawn there. I think that's new. And if that's new, then I suppose someone could have spawned close by on the left side as well. Sounds pretty sussy in any case, though.
>>570095632there's an opposing spawn right behind the gas station now
>>570095735>>570095843shiiit okay. Well I hope he enjoys my budget icebreaker gear. Just need to get to this god damn chained door.
Baraja
>>570095632The guy either spawned on lighthouse or the beach, the other two were closer to the bush than you were but you'd have seen him on the way or at least heard him running
>>570094763A lot of the BD names are references. One of them is named GarandThumb
I keep dying to the last fucking asshole in the engine room. >what's the setup for the smoke to see through it? No nvg's? certain flashlight?
>>570092881>a FAMASplebeian choice, the british one is the superior weapon. Make every scav that spawns with one also carry three bags of tea and a moustache while you're at it.
we are so fucking back arena chads
>Fixed an issue where Black Division would not move towards the player in the engine room and would remain stationary.It's unironically so fucking over.
>>570101360Watch the amount of people running icebreaker drop like a sack of shit because they actually have to play the game now.
>>570102028They are just going to find some new cheese strat.
>>570101360So the green smoke strat doesn't work anymore? Just not gonna bother then because that was the only thing that made shitbreaker tolerable. No, it's not fun fighting bots that can beam you down in <100ms.
>>570101360https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M6o1SEj02t0Genuinely how the fuck am I going to complete this shit solo now
Just get better noobs
>>570101360https://x.com/i/status/2064637017669980523The replies to the announcement tweet are so telling.>wtf y u nerf fun>wtf how can i beat it now>wtf its 2 hard
>>570099239i wish grenade launchers were a bit more easier to get in this game
>>570091898You mean it being unlistable on the flea? Guns containing unlistable items becoke unlistable entirely. In you case it's the underbarrel grenade launcher, but having unlistable ammo in it is also a common cause.
The UBGLs are zeroed to 100 meters, but the FNGL is direct fire?
>>570101360>VeryBadScav posted an Icebreaker guide for shitters earlier today>sick, I'm the target audience, can't wait to watch it after work>it's already outdatedGuess I'll just wait for people to find new methods to cheese BDs.
>fourth Arena patch since new clothing is out in EFT>it's still not in ArenaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
how exactly am i supposed to fairly and honestly fight AI that will not only spot me but beam me down through pixel wide openings between a fucking maze of pipes
I need 2 pmc kills with paca armor and I am a lvl 30 noob. How should I do it?
>>570120638Just snipe two guys.
>>570120783which location would you suggest ?
>>570121150The event areas retard. Customs, woods, shoreline
>>570121150I'd say Woods.
>>570120638I do all my paca kill tasks on fagtory.
The new audio update on Arena is fucking awful. Feels like my ears are getting raped by a shitty audio equaliser. NOBODY WANTED THIS. JUST TURN DOWN THE TIME IT TAKES FOR AUDIO TO COME BACK TO NORMAL AFTER YOU SHOOT. IT'S NOT THAT HARD. YOU RUINED IT. And after all this fucking about, I think it's pretty much the same anyways. Walking is still dead quiet.
>>570126261They actually improved it in someway. I can actually hear people coming towards me now.
>>570126540Well I've only had one game, so I'll have to test it some more. But dear god this sounds awful. They need to get rid of this shitty equaliser effect. Whatever it is. I've only played on the new map so I'm going to play a chop shop round to see if it was just a bug..
Just tried the engine room smoke for the first time today and instead of going to the middle BD decided to go straight for ultimate height on both left&right catwalks, I get patching cheese but the engine room is designed to leave you with nothing to use in terms of cover and BD can shoot thru 1mm holes cause aimbot lol, nikita said on twitter he reduced the number that spawns but the room is just designed to be harder than the boss area for some reason
https://x.com/domontovich/status/2064683937146831325Honestly, this dude is a blessing for BSG. I'm guessing he's behind BSG being more open to telling players what's going on behind the scenes. Though I do doubt his claims about the smoke cheese since that's very blatant goofy AI manipulation. Anyway, playerbase is full of whiny shitters and they need to git fucking gud.
Okay I just finished a chop shop game and it's not a bug. That's just how the audio sounds now. Christ. I had to turn my audio down to 50 percent. Genuine earrape.
I suck at fighting AI and got past engine room and helipad on my second try without smokes. Why are people sperging so bad?
>>570128359They want free gear and loot with little to no effort and now that BSG is trying to make it so you actually need to fight the AI again people are having a melty. Lots of people outing themselves as genuinely terrible at the game and crying, as if something that's clearly intended for end game type players isn't supposed to be hard or something.
If BD throw a lot of flashes and tear gas now, I suppose pairing a white Respirator with the gas welder goggles should offer the best CS gas and flash grenade protection
>>570128875>minmaxing against botsI can't imagine anything more embarassing
>>570128875
i dont know why you niggers suck off bsg so much to the point where you are willfully ignoring problems with the game. the ai on ice division is garbage. it's just literal bots with their difficulty turned up to the max because bsg can't figure out how to actually program good ai to save their lives. the fact that they left that smoke cheese in even when they know about it is all that is needed to say. it's a shame because the map is cool but it's been poorly executed. i'm surprised after 10 years, ai in this game is quite literally just bots. i'd have thought by now they would act more like human beings and be actually fun to fight against.
>>570129256 the ai on ice *breaker is garbage.
>>570129046what the fuck is your problem?
>>570129135But does the GP-7 offer any flash protection like the welding goggles do?
>>570129256>not shitting on literally everything they do is sucking off BSGI can't imagine how painful it must be to be low IQ and brown.
>>570129681thank you for not addressing any of my points and thus by doing so, you offer your concession.
>>570129735Why would I? What's your point? That the AI is bad? Everyone knows. We have conflicting information regarding being able to see through smokes so dunno how true that even is until someone posts proof of it working or not working. Thus all that's left is to call you out for what you are and make fun of you, because arguing with those of low intelligence and brown skin is a waste of my time.
>>570130492i own u nigger
>>570101360>>570102028>>570102354>>570102382>>570111013they didn't fix the smoke strat, they fixed a weird bug that caused them to not come out at all and would remain behind the doors where they spawned.
https://x.com/axel__tv/status/2064746151052747213New engine room strat just dropped.
>>570134558>NOOOO THAT'S NOT PLAYING THE GAME YOU'RE STILL JUST CHEESING THEM
>>570134662That's unironically a million times more honest way of clearing it that using a smoke, retard.
>>570134720nope if you're not getting aimbotted by cracked AI, you're not playing the game. thems the rules.
>>570129256>actually fun to fight againstScavs aren't meant to be a threat, they're here to force you to move around and make noise so you can fight other players. Even the bosses are like that, anyone who isn't a complete retard or doing a butt naked poverty run with a Toz can handle most of them, the challenge is handling the five other dudes who jump you when you win.
>>570140826tarkov is not a game about fighting other players
>>570145548do tell us what tarkov is about, anon
>>570145716looting, doing quests, running away from other players unless you have kill pmc quests ...
>>570134558wtf what a coward. let them at least reach the sides before firing. I can't believe nikita allows this lack of honor.
>>570140826The game was better when Scavs could face tap you with a TOZ from 100m.
>>570147976I loved those days... the possessed toz scav
>>569970997it did work! :)
>>570148202
>>570147976>the old vepr hunter scavs with m80/m61>ap-m vepr scavsterrifying
i thought this thing was like 12 mil did they change it?
why do I have to kill the cleanup crew inside the outpost... why do they roam half the map on woods. jaeger you fuck
the very first room in icebreaker has fucked me 9 times now. I kill 2 and its pure silence i'm chucking nades down every corridor or visible doorway with 0 comms from any of them and then 8 out of the 9 deaths knight comes walking out silently from the doorway or hall that i naded and instantly taps me. sad
>>570151153Uff twin... Uff...
im hiding on labs right now im too scared to fight i just want to do my quests in peace
>>570151680been there.. the shakes are the worst!
>>570149297you are misremembering
BD on the heli pad throw gas nades now. need a gas mask.
Why can't you buy these? I wanna spam them on factory. I guess I can just use the yellow ones.
I've spawned by path of lighthouse 4 times in a row... I think I'm done trying to get to icebreaker. I don't even care about it being a transit but spawning at the farthest possible spawn this many times is too demoralizing. I just immediately extract on climbers trail and requeue.
>BD rigs look super cool>don't have side platesTragic
>>570161161the small tan one has built in class 4 sides
>>570161161The 3x3 ones have level 4 soft side plates. It's the only armor in the game that has that. Wish the larger one had those as well but at least you get a lot of space as a tradeoff.
>>570165129>>570165241Yea, but that's still soft armor and it's still only level 4. Actual side armor is super important
uhhh what am i supposed to do here. I think the server is going to implode
oh boy here i go sniping
Anyone on NA East looking for someone to play with? The last buddy I've got who plays this game is pretty unreliable and this game sucks ass solo like 99% of the ti me. All I ask is that you're not whiny or annoying. Drop an IGN or something and I'll add you later
>>570173232>Anyone on NA EastDoesn't have to be East by the way as long as you're not on West or something.
icebreaker doable with semiauto guns? I would like to try sr25 but I've never tried semiauto vs bd
>>570180246yes i've done it with RFBs and an SVT
Okay so I've been playing PvE for the past couple weeks without a hitch. I never played PvP before so today I decided to boot it up and give it a shot. It took me through the character creator and started loading me into the first tutorial raid, then gets stuck on this screen. It won't load any further (I've waited upwards of 10 minutes without any progress) and just stays stuck on this screen. The game actually crashes if I try to click anywhere.So far I've:>cleared the game cache>deleted and re-installed the game>manually set my virtual memory on the drive the game is installed toand still nothing works.PvE worked fine, and now I can't even switch back to it because every time I boot up the game, it starts loading the tutorial raid and freezing again. It won't even let me access the main screen. Can't change any of the settings or anything. Just boot, load and crash.Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can fix this?
>>570185689virtual memory is dynamic by default on winblows, setting it manually can only lead to issues down the road. i assume your specs are fine because you can run PvE. check game integrity from the launcher. maybe try updating drivers.
>>570188513Yeah hardware shouldn't be an issue:>ryzen 5 9600X>radeon RX 9070>2x16g DDR5>installed on M.2 driveI did the file integrity checker and nothing comes up, even manually switched game servers. GPU drivers are up to date. I was playing PvE just earlier today without an issue. This fucking sucks, I just want to go back to PvE but I can't.
>>570191409C:\Users\You\AppData\Roaming\Battlestate Games\Escape from Tarkov\Settingsdelete everything there
So how does the engine room feel like now?
>>570193806only 4 BD there as solo. not too hard.
>>570194181well they don't conga line anymore to the middle so I wanted to know what pathing changes were made today
Very fun night of factory, almost got killer 7 though was with a buddy so wasn't possible.
>>570192518I kneel, thanks.
?
>>570195367godspeed
>>569701376>TarCoins have recently started appearing in raids, and during the latest TarkovTV we discussed the Expansion Hub and the TarCoin currency, which we plan to add to the game. Today we’d like to explain in a bit more detail what this is all about.>TarCoin is a new type of in-game currency that will be used exclusively within the Expansion Hub. TarCoins can currently be found in raids, and we have increased their spawn rate. >Opening a marked room will not only bring a substantial profit to your PMC, but also bring you a step closer to purchasing your desired expansion!>For a limited time, you can also list TarCoins with the ‘Found in a raid’ status on the Flea Market – trade them for valuable loot, earn in-game rubles, and help other players acquire this coveted currency!>The ability to trade on the Flea Market is temporary and will end when the Expansion Hub launches.
>>570194995This gun is so fucking goofy I love it
>>570196126Guess we're back to cheaters looting marked rooms.
>>570196391yeah i just got ran down by a 300h chinaman with all the Icebreaker achievements
>>570196126I wonder how many coins you'll need to unlock stuff. They're "cheap" right now. My friend found ONE in a marked room a month or so back so I wonder if they'll be rare as shit again later on?
Desperate measures
>>570196547bizbros is it time to buy in?
>>57019687950/50 they go up or down as more people are looting but also buying.
>>570195709You can get em off 6.0 fence. No reason to buy em.
>>570196879I just bought TarCoin for 175 million roubles!
>>570196547how do people have hundreds when everyone's saying they only found one or two in a marked room?
>>570197604That's a good question. They have to be FiR to be traded after all.
>>570197604A bug, maybe? I'm gunna buy some.
walked up the stairs and the sun was thrown at me
>>570196547They'll probably translate to 100 coins = 1 USD like most mtxslop>>570197604>>570197749>>570197861Perhaps they spawn in stacks, I dunno I haven't seen any myself.
>>570198564Probably. The preview image they posted had an 10500 of them at the top so that makes sense.
>>570197604They're spawning in stacks of 10+
we pulled it through completely, Don't think the Gasmask are worth bringing over a welding mask or something

>>5702054022a2 is the poor mans mule bro no one uses that shit
>>570205573Mule is dogshit if you actually play the game and don't pve
>>570205956lollmao even
>>570205956Mule is cheap as fuck because icebreaker gives them out like candy not because 2a2 is better, retard
>>570215003pve retard
>>570215108Post stats.
how do i win?
>Black Division>every single operator is white????
>shitters are whining that icebreaker is still too hardlol
>>570224982I think it's actually fair now. Smokes still work on the entire map, even in the Engine Room so I don't know why they're complaining so much. You just need to use the smokes more offensively so you can clear the room while in the smoke, I don't think people realize that BD will only shoot your last known position and won't track you inside the smoke. >>570196126These are PVP only, right? I can't imagine the state of it and the value inflation if PVE has access to them
>>570227818not to mention that I don't even feel like smokes are necessary for the engine room now, I swear they changed the ai a bit too, they feel a bit more fair without being completely retarded.
>get RB-BK on a scav>debate if I should sell it or not>decide to keep>looted 4 times so far>best I've got in 4 uses is a red keycard and an intelKinda regret not selling desu, are marked rooms always this ass?

The people that play this game are so ridiculous sometimes.
>>570150563>have toI don't know what the mechanics are exactly but I'm fairly sure they're friendly if Ref likes you enough and nobody aggroed them this raid, I've got him at level 3 and I just walk in there and take whatever I want.
>>570240216there's a quest to kill them inside the outpost, but I was just mad I had to do another raid..
>tarcoin went upI should've bought last night when they were 60k each
>>570241009psssshhh yeah right.. these coins are always all just a fad... I could have bought bitcoins but I knew they weren't gonna last so I didn't, and these tarcoins ain't gonna last either, you know I'm right
>>570241686I actually think the price would've went down if they weren't only temporarily available on the flea
>another QoL feature that isn't in the base gameI'm convinced they do stuff like this to bother me specifically.
I hate the new Arena footsteps sound so much
>>570246901which ones, I don't hear shit, dudes sneak up on me while running on metal
>>570244789they should add the ability to turn on/off hideout without loading it
>one tapped while running by a 150 hour account with ak-105>had a trophy dogtag on meHate this nigger quest so much.
>spawn road to customs>run into a duo within 30 seconds of the raid startingGood to know spawns are still complete dogshit on this horrible map.
>>570249565>without loading itat this point you could just make the hideout a simple menu, apart from the shooting rage nothing in there really needs to be modeled.I guess it'd make sense if your hideout was an actual lobby area where you could just fuck around with your friends, plan raids, trade items, gear up, probably just repeatedly stab each other in the dick and wait while the raid loads but they aren't doing it either so there's no reason I have to load dynamic lighting for the portable toilet I stole on a construction site instead of having an image of it and Taguila as an anime girl going "you should craft scav bags b-but it's not because i want you to bring me gifts or anything, b-blyat"
>>570250921>next raidI want to nuke shoreline with the labyrinth nuke so fucking bad
most of the time BSGs paid-for cosmetics are pretty dope. i bet tarcoin is gonna skyrocket when they actually reveal stuff you can buy with it. game edition upgrades will probably cost an obscene amount though.
>>570252108They're removing tarcoin from the flea as soon as the shop is announced.
My first few raids after prestiging:>put on some cl 5 armor etc. that I got from those Twitch crates>think that it will be comfy seal clubbing>die three raids in a row to people with way more hours than me (I have 3k hours)I can only imagine what it feels like to play "low level GZ" as a true newbie.
>>570255509Low level GZ is such a meme, like yeah sure you have low level and low hours players, but then you also have minmaxing turboniggers farming SBIH or TD1 on them.
>>570255640Yeah. Did my fourth raid, killed a few true newbies and then died to someone at prestige 5 with 6000 hours played. Lmao. Seems like today's not my day, since I quite literally haven't survived a single raid after prestiging now. Can't even complete Therapist's first task, since I just succumb to some sweatier-than-me's instant head, eyes, lol.
>>570257362I really don't know why they let prestige players into low level GZ. It's supposed to be the intro map. Making new players survive an interchange raid for tour as their first task is also fucking insane.
i bought in bros. had to sell the farm, but i think i'm set.
>>570257668>yes?Gospodin Buyanov, he did it.>he bought?He went all in.>dump it.
>>570257668>you can now buy one clothing set
>>570257643Yeah, I don't get it either. They should just make it so that there's one low level GZ for non-prestiged players and then another low level GZ for prestiged players. At least then us sweats can brawl it out in dogshit gear without making all the newbies quit the game.
>>570259017>and then another low level GZ for prestiged playersJust toss them into the high level GZ. Those fuckers know what they're in for and their starting gear is enough for them to hang.
>>570258326WORTH IT
>>570258326Jokes aside the only reason I'm excited for a Tarcoin store is that they showed you'll be able to buy upper and lower clothing separately, without having to get the full bundle.
>>570260252Yea, that's pretty nice. An integrated in-game store is something they've needed for years. You know, Tarkov would probably be a more popular game if they had done all this QoL stuff before 1.0.
Cheaterchads win again.
>>570259017I don't know, getting your ass kicked by an entire squad of unemployed turboniggers who spent more money in the ammo they shot you with than your stash is worth is half the point of the game, if you keep holding new players by the hand they'll just get mad when it happens to them on Customs instead, and then you have to make low level Customs, then they get mad when they get stomped on Shoreline, etc.And then you'll start thinking "let's just have a matchmaking function that's random enough to still let three sweats in the timmy lobby and three timmies in the sweat lobby, that's still fair", then they get mad and it's only one, then none and you're just CoD with shittier netcode.At some point you have to tell the playerbase to go eat a dick and fight the monolith of autistic obesity who bought the unwashed edition the second it came out for a pack of Marlboro and a pocket watch.
>>570264028I don't see anything wrong with giving them a single map that lets them get a feel for the game on similar terms with other newfags. The entire rest of the game is them getting their assholes blasted anyway.
I just bought 60 million in tarcoinsmr. bog, please, only this once
>>570270169>he didn't buy sub 100k
>>570270667I JUST NEED A FEW MORE, I KNOW I'M GONNA HIT BIG THIS TIME
I probably should have liquidated my Bitcoin reserves to buy more TarCoin, but then again Tarkov's bitcoin value is at something like a 5-year low.

New arena audio is genuine unfiltered fucking dogshit and everyone involved should be hung from the nearest tree tall enough to accommodate it.
This round is also still fucking garbage in arena.
I must have opened around 40 battlepass crates and only got 1 rare item, never got anything rarer than that. Those displayed percentages are complete bullshit.
>razors are over 200k>had 4 mil worth of scopes in my stashWorth it. I'm not overly partial to them over the vudu.
I wish we had standalone magnifiers. The eotech combo we have is so scuffed.
what's the quietest supressor?

>electronic components are 50k because people want to run the beta mags in icebreakerVery annoying
>>570300982YUCK
What's a small feature you'd love to see in the game? Random QoL stuff or interesting things.>new quickswap keybind that allows you to quickly change between equipped primary weapons by dropping your held weapon to pull your other one
>>570304769We need to be able to sort our inventory items to the bottom instead of the top for ease of unloading loot
>>570304769not a small feature per say since it would completely change how the game is played, but it is small in terms of implementation. i'd like for bsg to make it so you can't put anything that's found in raid inside of your secure container. so many times that i'm late to a marked room only for the other guy to have looted fucking everything and after a fight, it's fucking worthless because you just don't get anything out of it.
>>570304769input queuing
>>570304872Yeah this would be great. Also thought of another but it's pretty retarded>ability to throw mundane items like magazines, food, meds etc>can serve as a distraction (like metal gear)>or throwing your squadmates full mags/meds from across the firefight

Daily reminder that this is the best bang for your buck.
Whats the general rule of leading shots in the game? trying to get shooter born done and I often find targets but when they are sprinting i never know how far ahead i should be leading them.
>>570372440Lead is not that big but it's always better to just shoot them in the leg and hit them whilst limping just hop on an offline match and try to shoot running scavs
>>570372440Entirely depending on the caliber you're using and what type of round for that caliber. Some are faster than others. You'll get a general feel for it after a while.
>>570372440Ideally you wanna wait for them to stop completely, or at least run out of stamina. I'd say aim about one player model size ahead of them, but as the other anon said, it varies depending on what you're actually sniping with.
>>570372440I'd say about 1-2 player models ahead of them, depending on the range of course.
>>570372607>>570372738>>570372869>>570373524I'm usually running DVL or M700 with m80s. Only those two out of preference and they are generally cheap. I'll try out the scavs in offline thanks for the tip. And yea I just got out of raid I saw that I hit the guy twice at 334 meters so I supposed two landed but I honestly couldn't tell which ones did. Appreciate the assistance.

i can't force myself to fight wedge. by the time i reach the heli pad i have a couple mil in profit and just can't risk losing it.
>>570431958Its literally the easiest part of the icebreaker
>>570432007Which I just happened to have died to Wedge due to my own retardation and trying to rush things
>>570375058the ricochet chance is Low, though
>>570431958for me it's the BD below the helipad, i hate fighting those mid range lasering cunts
>>570433018Yea that`s the sketchiest part really, specially when they all clump at the stair on the left, I think its only one guy then 2 more come out mag dumping me
>>570433018>>570433575Do you need to get rid of BDs below the helipad to extract safely, or is it enough to just kill the ones on the helipad? I haven't been to the Icebreaker yet.
>>570437140just the ones on the pad. the lower dudes don't push.
>just kill PMCs in an oddly specific area bro>the kills will only count if THEY are in that oddly specific area broEasily the worst tasks in the game.
>>570431958atleast you can get to wedge. I've died at the entrance more than i have at the engine room. that shit is so aids knight owns me
>>570382268Just killed this fella on Factory. He was pretty based actually, was running around LARPing as a cultist with a knife and offered a knife duel, unfortunately I didn't have a melee, I would've absolutely went for it. Told him I need kills in the office and he just let me kill him.
so what's the deal with the evil ass rape boat other than being an infinite money and rapist ammo printer?
>lost the fight after chatting shit on VOIPIt's over for me.
>first time playing icebreaker>died to the very last BD before reaching the chain doorOh my FUCKING god I am so fucking mad right now. He came from out of nowhere after I killed the second to last BD and ran away to reload and shot me in the back. Do I even have to reach any objective before being able to call in the helicopter? The extract showed it in red and I did not want to waste the flare. Also is this map supposed to run like absolute dogshit?
>>570458002this new shit with the "movement patch" for the engine room where they have been sniffing the turbine gasses and just start sprinting around the entire hall forever needs to fucking stop
>kill a level 40 PMC>cl 4 plates>7000 hours played, 0.35 kdrWhy the fuck is every single highish level solo PMC wearing such garbage? Thank god he at least had 5.45 BP in his mags, so it was worth it. In the same raid killed another solo PMC, he was level 33 and also had cl 4 plates on. The first guy would've probably even survived my mag dump, if he had worn cl 5 plates.
>>570463697idk, some people just haven't realized that you can just go to ballbreaker and pick up infinite fucking class 5 plates
>>570458002No, you just clear the helipad and can call the helicopter from there but you should try to make it to and interact with the chained door for the story progression and direct icebreaker unlock.and yes it runs like dogshit for everyone
>>570463697Because armor doesn't matter and anyone who's played for long enough doesn't care.
>>570467128Retard
>>570467128As someone who runs cl 5 plates and has thousands of hours played: it 100% does matter. Cl 4 is useless in pvp, but cl 5 certainly isn't, since most meta rounds don't laser through it. You are just a gearfearing shitter.
>running low-level gz, freshly out of prestige>hear coughing>there's just a random unarmed PMC sitting inside one of those pools of water in front of the Terragroup office building>I aim at him, he goes crouch like a prey animal>walk in front of him>throw him an afak>he starts healing himself and dies like 2 seconds after the animation startsOkay.
Nice try, Fence, but I will NEVER be a scavnigger.
>>570465391>but you should try to make it to and interact with the chained door for the story progression and direct icebreaker unlock.Yes, that was my intention, I was just confused by the helicopter showing up red on the extract list.

Did they change anything with the flashlights recently? I remember when I first came back to the game a few weeks ago I could illuminate supply drops in the sky from 500m away with flashlights in the dead of night, and they would all be helpful for illuminating for example the inside of stronghold even from very far away. I've been trying to use the Olight Baldr recently and the fucking thing illuminates maybe 30, 40 meters at best.
>>570473762Who the fuck whines about using good gear?
>>570468315class 4-5 only matters when people are using shit tracer rounds or M80get with the times old man, now everybody is using m995, M80a1, 5.45 BS and 7.62 BP
>>570474391I've seen plenty of people bitch about dying to people running Altyns or meta guns.
>>570474524only pisses me off because there's simply no tradeoff anymore, either you wear altyn/rys-t or you're a chud scrub who can be killed with a makarov
>>570474667At least Altyns and Rys-Ts actually look cool, I'm glad the days of CQCMniggers are over.
>>570474476No they aren't, lmao. Majority of higher level people are running rounds with 40-45 pen. I know, since I'm the one actually doing PvP with the big boys in hotspots. Of course, there's ALWAYS the chance of getting hit with a super high pen round, but that's just part of this game. Just today cl 5 armor has saved my ass multiple times and given me just enough time to retaliate and kill the other dude.
>>570474667earbuds were a mistake and should have been limited for use with masks and larp headgear that block headphones
>>570474667Face-shields did need a buff. But it's too much to the other direction where there's no reason not to wear one now.
>>570475384out of the 30 times I got killed on labs yesterday I could count the times they were using shit like m855a1 on one hand
>>570468315Keep fooling yourself.
>>570474813>implying ballistic masks aren't sick as fuckyou just hate them because they're popular in game
>>570474328You might've changed your settings. Volumetric light or whatever it's called.
After all this time...Customs is still my favorite map. Not for any particular technical reason, I just have had so many good times on it. And I guess I like how many little shortcuts and routes through the map there are now, I feel real cool when I hop over the dividing wall in places people don't expect.
>>570476346Shit, you might be right. That would have been the one setting I actually changed after Icebreaker dropped.

Is old construction a go-to camping spot? I feel like there's always someone there standing still, but maybe I've just been unlucky a few times.
What's the O/U of Tarkov going on sale during the summer sale?
>>570483490I like camping it from the second floor of warehouse 17, you can also watch over big red side for people crossing.
Drunk. Hatchet running or doing Buckbreaker, hmm..
>>570484882bit early, innit?
i honestly think all melee weapons should be a one hit kill. at least it would make them actually viable.
>>570467128I'm sure you're going naked into your raids then
>>570486804>ywn enter an atavistic blood rage after coming under fire, pull out your hatchet and berserker sprint at the guy before driving it into his neck and watch him keel over
speaking of melee weapons, do any of you remember that takedowns were going to be a thing? you can see a pov shot from a player stabbing another player in the back in one of the alpha gameplay trailers i believe. it would be interesting for that to make a recurrence. it's also a part of another fantasy of mine that i wish could be implemented into the game. that being that if you are under a certain weight limit, like 6kg, you don't make any footsteps at all and you basically turn into sam fisher. Would be cool to play as this sort of night time operator character that is essentially a glass canon. would be a cool playstyle, i think.
>>570487848I think the biggest problem is that nobody is standing completely still for long enough to allow you to creep up on them.
>>570487848I wouldn't mind there being one shot melee executions, mostly because if you're retarded enough to let someone get into that position to do it you should just fucking die anyways.
>>570488032well that's why later on in my post i mentioned my fantasy mechanic for this game that being if you're under a certain weight, you won't make any footsteps at all. that weight being 6kg. which is actually very little. i believe the meta for this fantasy would be a silenced pistol, nvg's but with the headstrap on only, and maybe some earpieces and another magazine at the very most. even something like the theta container already takes up 1.4kg on your person. so getting to 6kg wouldn't take very much.
Haha yes I love winning a game for Great Heights 6 just to struggle to barely hold the lead in the next game and have my game crash out of nowhere just so I can rejoin to my team being down by 600 points :)))
>>570486398Nope. The sun is gone so it is time to ddrink.I feel like it's pointless to go past the helipad when playing solo, don't you think? You already get so much.>>570486867I do, in fact.You're retarded if you spend more than 30 seconds regearing and requeuing in this game.
>>570489551>I feel like it's pointless to go past the helipadi've blown so much money just trying to unlock icebreaker, not to mention tarcoins, that i'm probably not going to be fighting the boss anytime soon. need to recoup the losses.
i cant believe nikita that tard ass nigger made tarcoins this widely available. now everyone has hundreds if not thousands of them. surely when the ability to trade them on the flea is taken away, the amount in raids will increase to counter act this? inb4 its like 10,000 tarcoins just to buy one fucking thing.
>>570489551>I feel like it's pointless to go past the helipad when playing solo, don't you think?It's definitely worth getting to the locked door to unlock direct access, but other than that clearing the engine room + helipad seems like a decent farm. Wedges rig is drippy as fuck though.
>>570490605>not to mention tarcoinsHaha, you bought in!>>570490848If you kike it the fuck out and milk everything out before the helipad then you get 3-5 mil easy. I feel like it's worth it.
>>570467128>>570489551mindbroken labs player
>>570491262the price is already over double what i spent. no ragrets.
>here's your checkpoint teammate, bro.Two on the enemy team were running DVLs btw.
>>570492038I'm not a Labs nigger, but I guess it's because of Arena I think that way. I started just going around naked in Arena and winning every time while dying with T6 in normal Tarkov so I stopped giving a fuck.>>570492128Sell while you can!
SCORE ONE FOR THE SHOTGUNCHADShttps://streamable.com/euvq9g
>>570492819that shotgun is so terrible that i'm surprised you got a kill. nice.
>>570492435had a guy on my team recently who was doing the usual thing of running a bolty and being completely fucking useless. he was like 2-40 by the end of the match. looked at his profile and saw this.
is the smart thing to do with my gp coins is to just buy m855a1? that's what i've been doing since they resell on the flea market for like 200k a piece. and when im level 40 i can just sell them all
>>570493108Super 90 with the suppressor sounds so fucking cool. I think it naturally has good ergo too, that gun's build is just ~100k I think, probably less if I got the gun on flea. Flechette is dogshit past like 20m though
>>570493438i think the shotgun itself is just crap. it has a way slower fire-rate than the mp153 despite being able to shoot semi automatic. doesn't really matter what you put in it. and when i use a shotgun, i normally just put in very cheap buckshot ammo and aim for the legs. kills anyone in like 2-3 hits.
>>570493264Holy fuck Glass Joe plays Tarkov?
>>570493319ref ammo boxes are a scam but if you're rolling in gp, who cares. personally i spend all mine on ronins
>>570493319why the fuck would you do that when you could just pick up literally free money as a solo on the evil as rape boat
So does the engine room smoke strat still work or has it been patched?
>>570503807nah it's fixed but last time I went solo I just went straight through and the bozos opened the door in my face and ate a spraydown of m855a1
>>570493319For me, it's spending 200 GP coins on 8 BP points every single reset to try to get all the stuff from lootboxes (I'm just going to get GP coins or BP points from the crate instead of any of the items I'm missing)
>don't need CPT wins>keep winning matches, 8 wins in a row>get multiple dailies that require me to win just ONE CPT match>lose 9 matches in a rowShit's fucking ridiculous, I tell you. Now it's just pure sunken cost fallacy at this point. I'm refusing to let go and keep losing more and more matches, where I get placed with default kitted gigashitters.
>>570507162>start another match>team has lost all three points at 2 minutes>team just starts getting teamkilled>disconnectYep, I'll just dc from all matches that aren't a crushing victory from the start now. Fuck this.
>>570480852Goons are annoying only when the engage you in the open, then it's a death sentence. If you fight them indoors or in heavy cover, they are just free loot. Though, it's the same with all the "elite AI" or "boss AI" in this game.
if you guys want to do something fun and don't mind losing fence rep, go on streets and lay in wait at kabans fortress and use the AGS turret that is overlooking the part of the base facing the car extract to kill player scavs. it's so fucking funny watching them get raped by it. it's even funnier when they see you get on the turret and stare in disbelief to see if you will actually kill them. got tons of great loot too.
>>570511242Such a shame that the karma is tied to so many things. I miss the good old days of scav civil war prior to the karma system. It was always a blast to drop into Factory and just go full Khorne berserker, until you succumbed to your wounds.
>>570511734i actually like the karma system because it makes killing other pscavs feel that much more evil and fun
>>570512071Well, yeah, up until you spawn in with literally nothing and can't do some tasks at all.
>playing scav
>>570512367killing other player scavs is actually pretty cheap. it's like 0.09 points removed each time you do so. and i have 6.something scav karma too. so it would take me quite a while to even get to 0
>need to place that fucking flight recorder on Snoreline>at the very start, kill another PMC>get lit up soon after by a third party>I have absolutely dogshit gear after prestige, so I pretty much just have to run>pop my only propital to keep myself alive>get hit like 20 times by the dude pursuing my ass>finally safe, fix all my limbs up and keep going>get raped by a trio like 30 seconds laterI quite literally got hit like fucking 100 times with M855A1 during that raid. Well, enjoy my kedr and paca, I guess. Shame I had to waste my propital on that raid.
Dying multiple raids in a row without firing a shot makes me furious beyond belief. Not gonna fucking lie, especially while trying to get a task done that requires me to get an item, exfil, get into another map and place it in a spot for an eternity.
i dont know why level 5 prestige is locked behind collector. that's pretty much the most end-game quest in the game. should just be reserved for level 6 since it's the final prestige.
>>570517462I disagree, part of the concept of what "prestige" is in games is "doing it all over again". In that sense, prestige 6 is the only real prestige, because it forces you to get kappa a second time. That's truly beating tarkov twice.
>>570517462>i dont know whyThat's because you're an idiot.>>570511734>>570512592While player scavs deserve to be mindlessly murdered, scaving prior to the karma system was retarded. The first thing anyone did was shoot the nearest scav with a larger bag, it was retarded. Also, when you have over 6 scav rep regardless of how much rep you have whenever you lose rep it drops right to 6.
