I'm having funI got the ledx out of the tutorial
>>576338183You get one free anyway
Died to a pistol runner who jumpscared me. Might be time to uninstall.
5 raids, 5 survives and even a bit of pvp actioni'm liking the season so far, it's a nice change of pace and the thrown around task order is neat. Much of the annoying gathering shit is done with right away.
>>576338629What servers are you on? This is literally the most PvP I've ever done on a wipe day
>>576339227I haven't played pvp since the hardcore wipe ended so it's either auto euw or the old NA East I usually played on before i took a break and then hopped over to pve
WHY AM I GETTING SCREEN TEARING
say something nice about my fitt. definitely a real bear NOT usec
>>576340098ingame vsync is completely fucking broken in like 10 different ways, gotta force it externally
so, how does arena progress work with the seasonal? do both pvp and seasonal benefit from the skill leveling?
This is so retarded
I forget what perks i took where do i check
>>576341071On your profile on the skills tab
>>576341157oh okey, these were the ones i picked
NO FLEA MARKET CHADS WHERE YOU AT
>>576341046God I wish they had done this years ago, I would have actually gotten the Kappa achievement (I got Kappa only once, just before the achievement was introduced)
>>576341360Not here because my primary use of the flea market is scamming nolifers for billions of rupies.
>>576341448Psycho sniper has never been very hard, you're just shit.
>>576341542
>>576341448They removed the soul out of Psycho sniper, There is no adrenaline to the quest, I hate how they're doing this to tasks just to please idk the majority of mouthbreathing PVE players that only know how to complain about things
>>576341718Concession accepted.
>>576341821Now let's see TS7
can I keep the bush noise perk forever please nikitat. rat
>>576343230>cross post in /dg/ earlier>cross post in /eftg/ nowWhoops.
>6 positives traits>7 Negatives traitsOh yea it's fucking game time bitch
>>576341718Actual shitter retard.
I don't like the new task system, I had the old one so ingrained I could do it purely off memory until about level 35, the changed ordering of tasks is fucking me up.
>>576343056ffs i didnt see that one when i was making my guy i think i have dementia or something
>>576341821Yeah...no other way to put it than just saying "soulless". They went really overboard on simplifying these tasks, I don't like it at all. BSG historically did a pretty good job of not listening to scrubs, but I guess they feel like some concessions need to be made.IT'S NOT A FUCKING SAFARI TO MARK JUST ONE VEHICLE! The tasks that had you traverse the whole map like that were just so fun. Such an adventure.
Nigga EVERY SINGLE RAID has been me getting railed by some guy crouchwalking up to me after a scav forces me to shoot. Why are people so kill hungry already?
Oh you get to use all your clothes from the main one.
whats this bullshit for
>>576345203Flea fodder
this thing sucks but its my sucks
>>576345203boreas quests
ahoy landfaggots lets see the damage
>>576346748>he chose not to have a stimcase in his containerdo tell us when you're about to purchase 100 tarcoins to reset your character
Bros I hate railway extract should I just transit to Streets instead?
>>576346859Have you no flares???
>>576346838Read the description very carefully, anon.
>>576346859
>>576347350Yea and the injector case isn't one of those containers btw
Mk 2
>doing my last hero match for ref>respawn, don't move to reply to a text>someone jumps from the corner and one tap headshots me>respawn>immediately a full burst impacts the metal wall in front of meguess I shouldn't be surprised
>>576344519Yeah it's really mind boggling to say the least. I can understand babyfying some PVP quest so the average Joe is able to complete them, or even reducing the amount of FIR items required for certain quests, but I really don't see how shit like Tigr Safari was so didficult that it had to be made easier. The game is unironically way too easy now, it seems. But unfortunately I feel like shitters are gonna love it while streamers are going to pretend it's a good change while they complain that there is nothing to do for the rest of the season because they got their Kappas within the next 48 hours and paypigged the entire battlepass already.
like what is this
>>576348947>streamers are going to pretend it's a good change while they complain that there is nothing to do for the rest of the seasonWhat are you talking about? Streamers don't care about new players apart from using them to pad their K/D, and the task changes do absolutely nothing to them since they blazed through them before with no issue.
>>576348947there are multiple achievements requiring getting level 30 with different perks, which I assume there will also be some sort of seasonal prestige to appease the mentally ill
>>576349360Mothafuckin UNTAR armor
Got a tarbank keyballlinnnn
broken secure container is my gift to you
>>576348947>The game is unironically way too easy now, it seems.
How the fuck I get better at fighting against duos ? I manage to kill one of them then fumble 1v1. I just started and I can only use PACA so do I just accept death in pvp until I unlock the traders further ?
>first raid on seasonal>in emercom corner>literally no angle on me from anywhere>suddenly get shot in the head from 1m away>literally no sound despite wearing ears>killed by prestige 1 guy with a .45 pistolcome the fuck on
Any idea when the daily bp limit resets? i hope its not when you reach the limit and then the 24hr timer starts
>>576350281I work a full time job, actually, thank you very much.
>sneaking up to emercom>player scav runs ahead of me and crouches down into the zone as soon as i start my final jaunt>dome him in the extract zoneim sorry little bandit i promise i wasnt camping
As a standard fag I just got my first junkbox
>>576351724>he had a battlepass item in his backpackNOOO
>>576351796i just dinked some scav that had 35 tarcoins
I really hope they don't kill the essence of the game, I like how brutal the game isall these other extraction shooters feel like cheap plastic copies
>>576351795well done anon
Isn't this like $85? To full skip a battlepass.
>>576338183>I got the ledx out of the tutorialWhere was it? Also nothing saved after the tutorial (loot, experience, skills). You start with one ledx in the stash.
>>576338183It came free with your tutorial extraction
I miss contract wars bros...
>>57635254070 bucks if you buy the 2k special offer, the 1100 one and the 6000 one.
>rtb TEEMING with loot>just cannot be fucked playing tetris and just close the game instead
>>576353910Just sell your loot lmao.
>>576354828I can't even be bothered taking it off my character and figuring out what I need for quests/hideout and dumping the rest, I just cannot be fucking bothered
Anyone ran into Black Division yet?
>>576340296i want this in snow camo. bear winter field
Just fucking had sex
pill me on korund vs redut
>you still can't get in the game and need to spam play Well done nigita well done
>>576349360this was the one with the SV-98 right? i can understand how this would've been more annoying before if you were too stupid to insure the SV-98 given to you i suppose
>>576349360>>576357780Bullshit now requires stashing an AXMC on Lighthouse btw
update: it turns out the stupid larp tomohawk is one million times better than the other melee weapons for the arena meme eventswing angle on the tomahawk almost always results in automatic head eyes when it makes contact, the giant larp swords are kinda terrible because the horizontal swing usually hits arms/armor instead
is season 1 live? is tarkov saved?
>>576360479YesNo
>>576360706do you think chinese will congregate to seasons? will standard be a cheatfree utopia?
>>576361191RMT in seasons is kind of a weird prospect because of its very obviously front and centre temporary nature.Carries could be a serious problem though, because there will be subhumans wanting the rewards and achievements and shit.Rage hackers are obviously unaffected and will be the same as ever.Overall cheating will probably quickly become the same as it ever was.
>>576358678>tomahawk is best weaponfinally i can become chief tarkov, from the arena
>>576356776The redut is t3 soft armor but like three times as heavy. Not really worth it unless you have high strength>>576358678Skill issue
broken secure container fixed my gear fear for +6 perk points
>>576349360A slight improvement
>Black Division spawns with both chink gunsThis is so retarded.
Prapor is being a bitch and not giving me quests or anything
What the fuck is wrong with the promo codes, I can't fucking activate them.I'm talking about the ones with random letters and numbers.
I reached the car extract in Interchange but it doesn't mark as a subquest completion for "Pathfinder" (Ragman). Does anybody have the same issue?
>>576351795watch pestily, he's doing standard + all negative perks and no positive.
>>576370584reinstall launcher
Unironically the fucking season just started and I am already meeting metageared fuckers that basically sweat the whole game.
Have people found out how you get documentation yet? I only found one in factory on a dead scav but I think that was a pscav that died, so.
>>576373002They spawn as loose loot.
>>576372748I completed one Arena weekly whose rewards were designed for my level 60 main PvP character, and ended up at level 14 in Seasonal before I did my first raid on Interchange, so I believe you.
>guns in the battlepassnigrita has gone insane
>>576373686Are you sure the battlepass grants exclusive access to the guns, or just alternative ways of obtaining them?
>>576374945May Allah forgive me, but alas, I'm speculating. I haven't seen any new quests to unlock type 20 or qbz 131, besides the battle pass, so it's only logical to assume that they are bp exclusive
>>576373686allergic to water? just buy some goycoins to be able to reset your accountabsolute state
>>576371760You have get closer to the power station, where the old v-ex was.
Too easy, see you next season, shitlords.
just got crabbed on by a prestige 6 okay yeah they gotta take everyones prestige away and start from zero again just make prestige hard as fuck to obtain again cant believe bots can get that high of a prestige now
>>576375652you are a star
>>576373686Just paypig the battlepass, you're not poor right?
>>576373686what does it even earn ? some kind of permanent barter for the new gun?
>>576378649Likely based on previous quests.
>25% survival rateI am the raped.
>first player I die to>49 raids not even 24 hours since the servers are upMental illness.
>Been playing SPT>Check wiki>Today is patch dayOh shit, is it any good so far?
This is money scavs bring you by the way.I dunno, kinda wish I kept my 1% movespeed, but maybe it's nice since I won't be playing a lot
>>576341360We out here
>>576381249doesnt seem too goodany info yet about the un/lucky perk?
>>576381113The new quest system shakes things up a bit, how different it feels probably just depends on the perks you choose at the start.I don't think we'll see anything particularly crazy until people get onto the season specific task lines.
>>576381249I'm pretty sure the amount is going to increase as the weeks go on, there's an achievement to make an absurd amount of money in game related to the scav tax.
>Finally got the icebreaker poster.Easy mode here I come.
Documents taking up real stash space unlike Tarcoins is truly some devilish scheme to get people to buy stash lines.
>>576383430standard accounts are honorary chads
>>576382057>any info yet about the un/lucky perk?Googled and one guy on reddit says it rerolls bad events like jamming, bleeds etc. So I assume it's like this>game rolls chance to jam your gun>succeeds>lucky kicks in and rolls it again, gun may not be jammed this timeBut nothing concrete so far. Also might be ultra placebo>>576382327Would be cool
>need to plant tracker at power plant>15 minutes into the raid, yet there's still a firefight going on there for some reason>sneak up, see a body>some retarded gooner is watching it like a hawk, somehow from the direction I arrived from, yet he didn't kill me on the way in>he completely whiffs three free headshots while I fail to react to he suprressed fire>lay into him with with a mage of garbage ammo and he flees>push around, he's literally just gone>go back to the body, it's looted>go to plant the marker, and he reappears and misses half a mag>it's clear he's beyond dogshit so I push him>he has a team mate in the position I previously cleared who mows me down when I go out to peakHOW ARE YOU THIS DOGSHITWHY ARE YOU JUST SITTING IN A BUSH, LETTING ME PASS, JUST TO TRY AND FAIL TO KILL ME LATERWHY IS YOUR TEAM MATE AN INCOMPETENT FAGGOT
>>576383430wonder how long it'll take until they make containers buyable with jewcoins
>>576384812tarkov players when people one shot them>cheater, tryhard, sweat, day 1 of wipe rocket launchertarkov players when a player misses a couple of shots like a regular person>WHY ARE YOU THIS DOGSHIT PEOPLE ARE SO RETARDED MAAAAAN AAAAAAAAAAAAA FATHER!!!
>>576385253Yes. But unironically, I was standing completely still the first time, and the second time I had no idea where the fuck he was, and he still missed. I mean, they're two guys, who clearly were in position to have ambushed me minutes earlier, but instead allowed me to waste my time thanks to their incompetence.
>>576385713I'd rather people miss me than insta kill me. but the former is more common early wipe.
>guess I'll do some ground zero quests>level 16 turbosweats literally surrounding me with end game loadoutswhat fun
>>576386594I kept running into guys who where already doing test drive part 2 when I tried.
>>576386704I thought there was a level cap on ground zero?Well, if all the sweats are seal clubbing on ground zero, then customs is easyright?
>>576380694>49% SRpoor guy, he fucking sucks
>spawn at the terra group building>loot a few items, make my way out>just as I find a pillar, I see turbo sweat #1 come sprinting across the street>I consider my options, when I see his gooning buddy following not to far behind>now I'm hiding behind the pillar, inching around, when the third fuckpuppet turns up>clearly he snitched on me, because the lead sweat dumps his massive backpack and starts spraying at me as I fleeFucking read his grenade like book, got out of dodge and found a few scraps they had left me on the way to extractsuch is the life of a rat
>encounter enemy pscav>1 shot killed by 7.62x39mm FMJ through my class 4 BastionWell, I can say that the Lucky perk isn't pulling its weight so far
>>576381113Lol, I forgot how bad starting tarkov feels ever since 1.0. Can't even play the damn maps I want to, don't even have any traders. Remind me why a seasonal mode still has all this bullshit?
>>576388139because BSG is retarded and cut QA budget.
>>576341046This seems really easy to do on icebreaker if you are patient since no players or cheaters to ruin it
Yeah, none of these perks seem actually interesting to play around, so I'm just gonna skip this season.
>>576341046nigga you will vomit doing the old psycho sniper task.
Looked so pathetic as a PMC with my little pom pom hat and scav shotgun that a geared up 5 man just blew straight past me without any acknowledgement.
First time for everything i guess
>>576375294There are, like, 20 other drink/hydration items in the game this isn't as bad as you think
>>576388783I literally did it, and the frustration until I did the one good run to kill PMCs on all maps and completed was like no other, now this is just another mundane quest they just keep removing challenges from the game for the sake of gay niggas
I think I should have picked the Average perk, even if it is really expensive. I don't have too much interest in playing Seasonal past level 30 anyway!
Stimulus check just dropped thank you donald trump
>>576389441this is just one of their attempts to lure PvE players into PvP.
FUCK YOU
Anyone know how the spectate thing is meant to work?Is it only if you're duo's and you can spectate your team mate or what?
>>576389775>they still haven't fixed this bug
I only just figured out killing friendly scavs with yellow gas canisters doesn't count, I feel retarded but the money makes it hurt a bit less
>>576389079>missing the point>defending halfassed retarded bsg bullshit
>Accidently hit escape>Accidently click leave raid>Accidently confirm leaving the raidwhat the fuck why did i do that in a milisecond for no reason fuck sakes man
I hate having that feeling of doubt if I killed or not a person but I can't go loot him then to just see ??? at the kill feed later on
>>576390323>>576389775IT KEEPS HAPPENING
>fuck it, I'll bring my best starter shit to ground zero, see what happens>run 20 meters, head, jawsforgot how much I hate how RNG based this game is
>died to a PM and lost my full kit to a random dudeI blame the audio
you can use allergen causing items in your stash with no downside btw
>>576396239What IS the allergic reaction, anyway? Can I use an adrenaline like an epipen?
>>576396239honestly? based paypigs in shambles
I've only been playing SPT recently for mods and coming back for this season I think it made me worse at the game.I forgot how differently PvP plays.
>>576396531>paypigs?????meds
Did they change Test Drive?
>>576396756paypiggy copingeat more Jewkita slop like a good piggy you are
>>576396864
>>576396507idk but i slammed a hot rod and it gave me the blurry pain effect and made my energy drop from nearly 100 to 0
>>576396507Apparently its random tooI drank some cola and it gave me pain and zeroed my water
>>576398572Did you retards even read the debuff before taking it? You're allergic to three random consumables.
>>576398668Did you bother replying the post at all? It's not just the consumable that are randoms, the effects are aswell
>>576397393>Allergic to hot rodAccount bricked, better restart.
>6 minutes left>time to hit the MG on GZ for the quest>some nigger is still camping upstairs in full gearget cancer and die
>>576399357maxnrg and ratcola are better so i wouldnt mind that
>>576399357could be worse. idk what my other allergens are yet.
>enemy BG team gets tilted and starts TKing each other>on the second TK, Ref says "Absolute *cinema*, guys!"That sure made me laugh
>>576400112>not using Russian Ref for maximum immersion
when do i unlock ref
>>576401416DAVAI DAVAI DAVAI
>>576396814looking at the wiki they changed the names of each test drive quest, so each has its own unique name now instead of just being "test drive part x"also according to the wiki, gunsmith quests seem to be now "gunsmith - (NAME OF GUN)" instead of "gunsmith - part x"
How unbug Prapor? I have no quests
>>576405248visit him in person silly
>>576405701pls halp.
>>576405701>>576406582durr
>>576406582
broken secure case is so god damn annoying but its making the raids more exciting since I can't just shove everything up my ass. I hope next season its mandatory for all players
>svavving on interchange>Completely surrounded by AI scavs in IDEA>Checking my backpack to decide what to keep>Player scav runs up to me and shoots me dead and is immediately killed by the 6 or 7 AI scavs aroundFor what purpose?
>>576407952A similar thing happened to me yesterday, some people are just that retarded
>install update>number of available quests fucking quadruples
>>576408494>>576407952I've been camping extracts as a scav and slamming tards for their loot. Free stuff and I'm not concerned about fence rep for awhile. It's also hilarious imagining scavs crying about it after they die.
>>576408692That's based, but some people try to do that in really retarded ways. I can't help but wonder what's going on in their heads
make sure you loot shoreline scavs, they're still spawning RFID cards and they vendor for 350k
>>576410128I got one on an interchang scav earlier
>>576410353Me too
THANK YOU NIGGITA
>>576411854>>576412069>random dead end quests that weren't hard to begin withShitters truly won.
>>576412268you don't even play the game you subhuman faggot
>>576412378Whatever you say, man.
Am I the only person left thats not playing this game with polcule or boyfriend ? Feels like I am the only person in the every raid going in solo what the fuck is this bullshit
Reminder that 5.45x39mm is God's chosen caliber.
>>576412915night raids have less squads
>>576412915I haven't even run into anyone. Sucks but comfy questing rn
>forced to gun down a PMC approaching me at vehicle extractsorry senor
what this mean
>>576414353isn't that the bugged Black Division entry?..are there BD on streets?
>>576414537There are bd in Streets yes
>>576412378are you ok anon?
>>576412596That's not the own you think it is.
>>576412596bros so good he prestiged 5 times yesterday at the same minute. you're really the best!
>>576413571How is the new 5.8×42mm caliber?
They've removed the hydration loss from analgin?
>>5764135715.45 is nice because you can find and loot so much good ammo like BP and BS ammo, like packs of 120 rounds, and they're common
>find some shit I need, run over to one of the scav extracts>three NIGGERS stand there lined up like a firing squad and hose me downStarting to think I'm genuinely cursed, never fucking lucky.
Finally got my 2nd junkbox
Don't forget to active these codes and then put the BD dog tags in a cultist circle for a brief case
FXAA is totally broken and causes a bunch of visual artefacts, right?
>>576418450Is this for PvE, PvP, or Seasonal?
>>576418875seasonal retard. Why would anyone play the other two modes now
>it's a snoreline quest episode
>>576419049Nope. Not true. You get goodies in all modes.
does anyone have a list of what the codes do when you activate them?
>hear PMC stomping around>start crab walking>about to get the drop>fades to black as soon as he enters my screen>"server connection lost">cant join back>did a solid 15 minute raid and got 2 tasks donewtf, did I just get disconnected by a modder?
How bad could it be?
>>576423047dr jekyll is so fucking annoying, don't
>>576423648its to laste
>>576423648>Dr Jekyll and Hemophiliathis looks like a fucking nightmare.
based
>>576423839It's fucking over for me
>>576424171the allergic one is such a gamble. I'm allergic to propital and fucking water.
I like the concept of project zomboid perk modifiers for seasons. Helps make each season feel different. Now players that have specific complaints, for example, that don't want to use flea market or secure containers can play that way and get rewarded as an option to boot.
>>576423839it is, if you get fresh wound you're basically forced to extractyou get light bleeds fucking constantly, most ive healed during one raid is like 8 and that is while going to the extract pretty quickly
>Activate all codes>not enough stash spaceI own EOD too, wtf. How do standards cope?
>>576424493Just upgrade
>>576424493With religion.
This game says a lot about humanity because killing PMCs is rarely required or rarely worth the risk. We do it anyway because being niggers is hardcoded into our DNA.
is this an old reused icon? looks like it's from contract wars or at least very early 2015 tarkov design.
>>576425042i owned standard back in 2022. The game was insanely favored towards poopsocks and at this time there were many players who knew the game inside out. I was stuck on pocket watch for a month and the game kicked my ass hard. I never got to LL2 traders because the quests were too hard for me and I couldn't progress because I knew none of the maps, I couldn't store any gear and i just couldnt afford to play. Shit was a nightmare. You appreciate EOD a lot more after getting dicked by being a standard.
fresh wipe factory is horrendous. All the extracts are ratted to fuck. I just got ratted by a 3 man squad staying at gate 3, wtf is this.
>>576427081if you run to the very back the timer stops
>>576428160why? i thought the extract change was suppose to stop this.
>>576428735idunno theres a deadzone where the timer doesnt go down but you can stand at the back wall
Prapor II sells a sick kitted AK-74 for like ~93k rubles
>>576429009Skier sells a fully kitted Adar for a measly 137k at LL1, its nuts
>>576425213uh huh
>>576316603>>576291286PCGAMESNCurrent active codes AFAIK
they should've made a seasonal arena character ngl because if you did the arena tasks from ref on ur main u dont get them for ur seasonal character in tarkov how am i gonna get to level 4 ref on seasonal now
>>576337532So are those documents easy to find? Or are they yet another episode of Niggita?
>>576432213i havent seen one yet
>>576432213>>576432286they're scattered around as loose loot and they also made it so that you're the only one that sees them and can pick them up if i remember correctly. someone will probably make a location guide for them soon i'd imagine
>>576432286>>576432387So is this season bullshit any easy to do for a new player? I don't have a lot of hours and I mainly play PVE.
>people are already spending RL money on the battlepasssad
>first seasonal raid>bounce 3 m855s off a guy's helmet>peek around a different corner>move back around the corner>die around said cornerAmazing fucking game. Don't even know why I bother.
>>576432456if i also remember correctly, they made it so you can farm them in pve and get the battlepass progressed in all modes. although i'd imagine stuff like consumables such as crates can only be redeeemed in a single mode as they're consumables
>>576432495It's sad but it bankrolls my server costs at no loss to me so whatever
>>576432456>So is this season bullshit any easy to do for a new player?No. All the worst niggers this game has to offer are playing seasonal right now.
>>576432768There's a limit on how many of the things you can farm in each mode each day, I think it's 10 in PvE, 15 in PvP and 25 in Seasonal. Not that I'm going to farm 10 of the fuckers every day anyway.
>>576432930What, you mean like only 15 documents per day? That's so absurdly arbitrary.
>pick lucky>survive a BP shot through Paca
>>576432495Let people enjoy things
>>576432854she said she plays pve
>>576425213It's not rarely required at all, there's a ton of quests at every stage of progression which require PMC kills. There's only like 3 missions total that require player killing in Marathon (2026) and people do it in that game because the map + server sizes incentivise knocking pieces off the board so you can loot in peace, and for challenges that unlock cosmetics. The YOU'RE A BAD PERSON angle there would be that people are greedy, vain and resort to violence because it's simpler.
>>576436212Then she's fine. It's just going to take a while because Nikita only time games when it comes to incentivizing players to spend money.
>>576432495What?????? people paying for things inside of a game????? with real money!?????!!!! In a game they probably play every day!!!!!????? how dare these fucking bitches!!!!!!!!
>>576437743its about being on equal footing, imagine some gay ass lame niggas just buying hayabusa
I want you to go ahead and tell me that outside of the BD gear crates, what is not equal footing
Learned too many bad habits from PVE so I'm getting slaughtered pretty heavily. Not too bad though.
We're in too deep already
fuuuuuck and I've been drinking and eating them
>make content>want to get money for it>call it a dlc>now have to give it to eod/unheard>nope>put it in a free battle pass>make it hard to grind>give the option to pay to skip>now no one will complain but people will still pay for itim on to you bsg
Can't wait to have some fucking decent ammo to win fights with
>>576440352Does BP and BS ammo not drop anymore? Last time I played it was everywhere.
>literally every fight i've been in has been against some doorway jumping circle strafing tranny sweat nigger Yea I think I'm just gunna avoid seasonal dogshit.
>>576441636I dont think any normal people play PVP anymore
>>576440352I've found a fuckton of BP and BT rounds from the IDEA Bogatyr camp at Interchange, I always hit it as a SCAV even if I find something good because the armour and AK may help with getting out
>>576441636>move back to permanent >rat a guy off spawn>his buddy very clearly toggles and one taps me and my buddy shortly afterYea, I mean, I guess.
>>576441636TibbyH I don't think circle strafe peeking is in PvPer faggot territory, or sprint jumping between cover if that's what you were referring to. But I'm sure all the PvPer faggots do do those things plenty.
33mil or 5 dollars?
>>576446159Those pants just look bloody silly IMO
>>576446159Chicken legs
>spend over 30 minutes on customs checking almost every spawn for documents>find oneIt would literally be more time efficient for me to pay 70 actual dollars for tarcoins than grind this shit.
>found the chink cheater world first escapee Insane that he didn't get investigated after because it was hilariously obvious that he was cheating, and if he personally wasn't cheating his squad was.
>>576448962Nikita thinks so too
>>576449329>skeletonI thought skeletons/skulls are LE BAD in chinese """culture""" to the point where western devs censor such designs in chinese clients for their games? I'm not sure Niggerkitas social credit will ever be able to recover from this.
Ok this juice exploit is fucking nyuts
>>576453808Functioning as intended.
>>576453808and if it works with the juice, the same works for the fish I imagine
>>576453808Explain. You drink 1 unit at a time to gain 60 seconds painkiller effect? Fuck, why didn't I realize that as a strat in the modifier selection screen. How to reset character??
>>576455295you dont even need to drink just uncap the bottle and see the notification pop up then you cancel it
>>576455295>How to reset character??Glad you asked, that will be 100 tarcoins plus tip
just found out
nice i got 9/10 docs in pve ... the limit won't be an issue =)
>>576456362This really doesn't seem worth it. Even 5:1 for documents seems pretty bad considering the daily limits.
>>576439628Any other sick barters?
>>576458297not that I have found yet with ll2s
>>576458460this isn't a new one but its one i like to use because im a superpoorfag and always do budget runs
>>576458460>looting the dumbbellyikes bro
>>576458860I got out with it tho its fine
>>576436375You actually have to kill players to progress a faction in Marathon and unlock passive boosts and trades. I don't remember if there was a way to level Arachne as a pacifist at all.
>Bring chinese gun, instantly found a leddy and a opscope on a medbox
>34 days minimum to max the battle pass in permanent servers>50 days in pveThe like four layers deep of faggotry that Nikita has constructed to make people frustrated enough to spend money on the pass is unreal.
>>576459507You can keep rerolling until you hit an Arachne task that doesn't require runner kills, you don't get THAT much from runner kills and finishers. Definitely helps ofc, and they are aesthetically cool and pretty conceptually thoughtful and interesting for being at their core PvP incentivising death cultists.
>>576460902You have limited amount of rerolls per week though, unless that changed. Feels like if you get unlucky you'd make 0 progress with them if you go no PvP route. Which makes sense, of course.And yeah, I'm secretly hoping something happens to get that game out of the gutter, there's a lot of potential and some things do look cool.
Where are people finding season pass documents at? found like 4 by stumbling upon them the first day but now im actually looking and cant find any in PVP season or PVE
>>576463640they're all fixed spawns, theres threads on X about the spawn points for each of them and their maps
>>576463746nta, but can one spawn have multiple document types? It seems every map has at least two document types. Or does every document type have dedicated spawns?
>>576464205The documents have a few exclusive maps where they spawn, you can see which document spawns where by hovering the mouse over them in the bp
>>576464272Yeah I know they spawn on specific maps, but it seems every map has at least two document spawns (project and medical for example). I'm asking if one particular spawn point can have both types, or do both document types have their own unique spawns on the same map?
put female pmcs in the cash shop NOW
FUCK
listen up liberals
I didn't play for all of yesterday and now everybody is going to have class 5 armour GG can't have shit with retarded niggers
>>576466038I dunno seems like strugglesville kinda

>>576464750PISS
>>576467001bravo anton
Does documents only spawn as loose loot or do I have to search every scav I kill from now on?
>>576467396Loose loot. Player scavs may pick it up on their end.
>spawn at the greenscreen at customs>find loads of nice things>as I walk out see a scav standing with his back turned>shoot it in the head, nothing happens>empty half a mag>think it might be Santa>scavs everywhere start rushing me>clear them up, go to loot>die>died to Partizan with an F1 grenade?????????????????????What is this bullshit?
>>576467720Does it matter if it's FiR or can I just shove it in my asscrack and die in an embarrassing way and still have it count towards the battlepass?
>>576467826no. yes.
I dropped out around level 20 on my permanent char, what's the status in those servers now? I can not be assed starting from 1 again on the seasonal server, but I don't wanna be farmed by absolute omegajuicers either
>>576468136it's already over, everyone is running with a 4 man goon squad of tryhard sweats.Every death so far has been an instant head, eyes
>see streamer scav factory>non stop action, loot everywhere, gets several kits every time>scav factory>7 minute timer, no loot anywhere, no players anywherehmmmmmmmmmmm

I don't care. I don't care. I don't care. I don't care. Sorry you died for fucking nothing, Kasperskyy.

>>576475413Bro your ctrl/alt + left click?

>>576460196I wonder if today's Twitch drops will contain documents

>>576337532They really went ahead and drastically reduced the amount of "Find [Task item] and extract" tasks like I hoped. This is just beautiful.
one of the stupid fucking painted silhouettes just got my ass and made me magdump into the wall it's OVER
>>576460196Getting even 10 documents - especially of the right kinds - is absolute autism too.
>>576476468I didn't fall for the silhouette when I started playing a month ago, but couple days ago it also made me freak out inside one of the buildings on Customs. I was completely loaded up and an inch from dying, really needed a break for a moment.I did get tricked by a mannequin inside mall the first time
the fuck happend to this gamewhen and why did it turn into obnoxious disappointing slop?
>>576460196JewStateGames
>>576480994uhhh day 1 because they're a bunch of gopnik retards?
Jumping into seasonal since playing exclusively pve since the mode dropped. Anyone have any tips?
>>576460196knowing BSG, enough people not bothering with the battle pass will stop their shenanigans in later seasons. But yeah, the most awful battlepass system I have ever seen.
>>576483605I mean, just good luck.I'd recommend simply doing it in PvE if you really wanna do the battle pass. It's a matter of grinding items and that's it.
>>576468136it's..okay? will be fun if you got a mic. Otherwise you cant go broke and bored, just apply promo codes and get twitch drops.
>>576483605Bring lube.
>people are taking dr. jekyll but not the reducing bleed chance perk
>>576484036There are other rewards for the season outside of the battle pass though right?
>>576346748Jekyll and Hyde is pretty fucking bad with broken container. Otherwise I chose pretty much the same except I took Hercules for the extra speed and run distace, along with no flea because who the fuck cares wihh seasonal. I chose bleed and fracture chance increase over jekyll and hyde. Should be fun imho, just remember to bring enough meds
>>576346838>he optimized efficiency over any other interesting mechanism.Tell me you will be back to normal pvp/pve in a week because nothing is different for you
>>576372157Don't watch that washed out basedface cuck please. Do it yourself.
Killed a duo in a pretty drawn out fight, got The Extortionist done, got my scav kill missions done and managed to get out after running out of energy and hydration. Thank fuck I managed to get something done with my Prapor package because it would've been really fucking dire if I hadn't. Wish I could've gotten my old armour and one more of their guns out though. Personality Vacuum hurts but all these Kappa meds don't make me sad though
>>576484589>taking positive perksYou didn't beat the game
>>576486642I'm sure the retard I killed with a gpu in his bag yesterday had a ton of fun with his interesting mechanical choice.
>>576487354>100k roubleslmao who cares
>gain .11 strength exp>leveling rate drops to 0I wish the chronically unemployed didn't make my progression get kneecapped at every turn
>>576487487tuff
>>576439239I was running into guys like this two hours after the season went live, there was no early wipe this time.
>>576458860You need it for kappa bro.
>playing arena for the last time since last season>for no reason whatsoever you can't use tac30 with bolties anymorenigger why
>>576460196I'm willing to bet the most efficient play to progress the battlepass will just be farming 10 a day in PvE, since there are no niggers around to head, eyes you while you just sprint around the map hopped up on SJ6, once you've got your first 10 then you can go into seasonal and farm the rest on Icebreaker.
Why/how has this guy got a thermal sight in his bag???
>>576489485Mechanic gives you a quest to stash one at new gas on customs.
>it's not retroactiveThanks for nothing, I guess
>>576464474I think they're shared spawn wise I found the same document on two different spots on woods
https://www.escapefromtarkov.com/news/id/407?lang=enSomething new.
>>576490038Speaking of which I have to renew my license in a week
>>576489143yeah this is so gayi hate every scope other than the tac30 for bolties
>>576489485Jesus, that poor man
>>576489485Bet he feels really dumb for picking Broken Secure Container now.
>>576489425Some raids I can't even find any docs on labs/gz. I don't know ALL spawns though but I comb the map like a hawk. it is a very autistic endeavor
>>576490886Nobody can fit thermals up their ass man, it's been this way for ages now
Also there's definetely a bug with playing through multiple game modes because playing on pve sometimes I can't repair my armor with kit. It says I don't have the hideout stuff even though I do. My name also changed to the seasonal one, and I get bad gateway millions of times
>>576490290>>576489640I got out with it. I have a spare in case I suffer the same fate when I get the quest.>>576490886Doubt you can put it in your case anyway.
>at 1/10 for the bp doc daily limit>docs stop spawning completly for multiple raidsnice game nigita lol
>3 man squad rushes the same door one at a timeok
>>576491253same happened to me. I assume they make it rarer so you keep playing...
I've only found 1 doc.
>>576492091I found 3 on factory but it only has 2 types..
>Skidmark already has 11 milBoy i'm fucking ass at this game what the hell
>>576492345you mean the guy with 15k+ hours who's been playing nonstop for the last 24 hours and whose literal job is to do nothing but play this game? no way
I'm too shit to larp as Black Division anyway, fuck the battlepass
>>576492091>>576492195I predict they'll change it to make it less cancer. It's just too shit at the moment. Compared to how simple the Arena pass is I don't think their intention was to make it this bad.
Don't know why there's so many retards doing the weirdest shit ever this wipe. Sitting in random rooms just waiting, going to factory with mid gear, no one firing their gun for a solid 15 minutes. Not even hardcore wipe was this weird.
So, which traits are actually worth taking or are absolutely no-picks? I'm just starting out today and I bet there's already some sort of a meta around this shit and I don't want to handicap myself too badly.
>>576493769Starvation, thirst and the more fracture ones are pretty neglibible. More bleeding has turned out to be annoying for me but take it if you think the positives are worth it.Starting out with str/end at 15 and running faster has been good to me.
>>576493897Cheers, anon. Looked those up and all seem pretty good choices.
>>576490886>cowardly /eftg/ player who needs secure container crutch to progressmaybe you should get good at the game
>>576493769The increased energy and hydration loss modifiers, and the increased medkit usage modifier are very easy negative picks, I feel, as they are quickly offset by experience in the Metabolism AND Health skills. I also believe the Incompetent modifier is a good pick for anyone not planning to play Seasonal all the way until Icebreaker or Terminal or Labyrinth.
>>576493769Decided to go with:>Hercules>Marathon Runner>Luckyand>Chronic Fatigure Syndrome>Polydipsia>Well that hurt!>OsteoporosisWish me luck, anons.
>>576493342no one new or casual or returning played hardcore probably. this is the first wipe in a while, and also people care less about their characters
>log on my main>pay premium to jaeger for his new insurance>die to hacker>jaeger's new insurance is bugged and you can't see his messageepic
>>576494671>lucky>not unluckyUfffff. that will be 500 tarcoins
>want to message support for the past 3 days>get error 403 on the website every single time I try to submit a ticketAmazing.
>twitch paypig holodilnik can store bleachWhat did they mean by this?
So, is there any point in continuing beyond unlocking all the battle pass and seasonal rewards? Do we have any info on that? Like do we get some cool achievements for doing collector with our seasonal character or something?
>>576495820Yes the game is pay-to-win, we already know.
>>576495918How is storing things pay to win, winning at what exactly
>>576496151>what is sarcasmAnon, you can't be that dumb.t. another anon
>it's another episode of spawn 5 seconds away from a squadtoo bad reddit is too busy glazing those retarded russian niggers for making quests easy enough a lobotomite can do them
>>576496186Given how people hate anything BSG does I genuinely thought it was real
>>576497331eh fighting squads as a solo is just regular tarkov. you just gotta run or hide man
>>576497428Where exactly am I supposed to run if I spawn inside the GZ grenade launcher building and I get immediately rushed by a duo that spawned on the parking lot outside?
>>576497506a duo??????? mf kill them. you got 1 hand for each of them
So far every person that killed me had 1500+ hours and max one was 6k.Where's the option to load into noob lobbies for noobs?
>>576497778The game is turning 10 soon, anon.
>>576497778>Where's the option to load into noob lobbies for noobs?it's called PVE zoneif niggita wasn't a jew and PVE was free instead of thirty fucking dollars it might be an actually decent way for total noobs to get the hang of the game instead of just spending 800 hours in the testicle stomper until u git gud
>>576498456Some people might say playing pve makes you worse at pvp but my experience was the opposite. It made me way more comfortable with the movement and controls, and aiming. When I only played pvp I was too much of a scaredy cat, but now I know when to push and when and where to peek... but then again I think I'm done with pvp for now already.
>>576493342No insurance probably has people acting differently.
>character freshly out of tutorial>equip one of the starter AK-74Ms and put a single 5.45 BP into the chamber>first raid headshot someone running around with an altynImagine getting headshot by a level 3 dude with 5.45 BP of all things, when you have managed to get your hands on an altyn this early into the "wipe". That MUST'VE hurt.
Did you get your 3 day arena trial yet anon?
Any battlepass document spawns on Reserve?
>Soft locked on leveling rapist because the new RNG task assignment has given me four tasks that require keys.
>>576499771how much are they paying me to play?
>>576499458For a solo player it feels like such a miniscule change. I just enjoy the fact that it will make the life of squaddies a lot more tedious now, since they can't just insurance fraud their butt buddies' gear all around and exfil with all the loot.
>>576499894Yes, two of them PMC files and the project documentations
Stimulus just dropped!
>>576499897Wait, it's actually random? That would explain why me and my buddy has different tasks.
>>576500003I'm asking where to find them on Reserve retard
>>576500410oh fuck if I know
>>576500410I got some in the command room in the bunker next to marked.
>>576489143>>576490256The tac30 is genuine unfiltered dogshit that I literally only use for the single task that requires it. Get some fucking taste you animals.
>>576500410on dome, in 2 of the locked rooms on the second floor
>>576499897Them randomizing the tasks is pretty based, since now everyone's doing different tasks then.
People who take plates out confuse me, especially level 5 ceramic plates that got fried by 995.
>>576497778most 1500 hour players are timmies
PSA: Classic matches and spark plugs are easily found in filing cabinets
>>576492628I've looked through the BattlePass and the seasonal rewards, and the only rewards I'd really like are the Gatorz tactical glasses, the respirator, the O'Connor USEC head, and the stupid hick USEC voice.
>>576502204the voice is so damn retarded don't they hire actual actors? they make enough money to get people who can say lines properly even if they want a fucking cousin fucker pmc
>>576502423This one is silly on purpose though

>>576503535the usec "Rob" is the same voice actor as knight and black division 1 voice lolRob is hilarious for the pain sounds, sounds like hes busting a nut
>>576502204the hick USEC voice has soul
Yea the KC-130 and the Icebreaker kit are sovl as fuck, now we just need a really erotic Rias figure to reach sovl overload
Pestily is lvl 25. It was my fault for being in his lobby. >reported for good measure
I dunno man, I kinda already miss getting random garbage I never used from finishing quests, getting just roubles feels so soulless and unrewarding.
>>576504707All they had to do was make quest rewards worthwhile instead of some a fucking AA battery and some pocket lint for most of them.

682 hours and p3 already? I just don't get these Accs
>>576504707wait what?? we don't get stuff from quests anymore? that fucking sucks. I thought I was just getting shitty quests
>>576508709Prestiging up to 4 is piss easy now.
>>576508709they timmyfied prestige
>>576508823I personally think he was walling too
>>576508951Probably. Early in a wipe always brings out those types. I'm pretty certain my first death was to some giganigger with ESP and an aimbot.
>it's another episode of turbo geared pussy bitch camping the entire fight because he's afraid to do anything even though he has a much better kit than youI really don't get what people see in early wipe.
>>576509203Spawned on woods next to usec checkpoint, I did go to the big rock to check scav house and got shot at by him which was fair since I was pretty much skylining, but then I go down the rock and completely disengage, then I go around the concrete walls and as soon as I look through a crack I died to him from pretty much the same ish distance of 150m or so given the sound of the 700
Is Arena connected to the seasonal mode in any shape or form now?
>>576509616yea, the same way PVP is
>trying to do tasks on Customs>die to a squad, almost wipe them out>die to a squad, almost wipe them out>die to a squad, almost wipe them out>die to a squad, almost wipe them outHoly fuck I hate this shit so much. Haven't seen a single fucking solo PMC in Customs today.
Boy I have never had so little money on me I got like 500k and i'm almost lvl 20 what the fuck
>>576510184Was questing on customs and I came across a 5 man just running between the dorms, turns out it was a p6 sherpa with like 4 other fags, needless to say he fucking raped me.
>>576505195dont worry, you can buy them with tarcoins soon
>>576510741As things currently stand, the pricing on the in-game shop items is fucking ridiculous. I bet a thicc case would be like 50 dollaridoos or something.
>guy in a Ronin bounces three 7.62 PS headshotsyeah nah fuck early wipe this shit sucks

>>576511038I fell for false advertising, it seems.
You don't even want to know how many 4+ prestige players are actually just cheaters.
>>576511113If we take the median of these claims, then all's good.
Looking back now, why the fuck did I pick Tarkov shooter?
two world wars
>>576512493Mosinchad that needs 7.5% reduced recoil
>half way through the match my kdr is hovering around 2.0>before the match ends, I perform a dying spree of fucking 18 deaths without a single kill>end up with a kdr of 0.5Arena has not made me this fucking angry in a while. Got spawnkilled by the same dude like 7 times in a row. No matter where I spawned, he was always aiming at the spot where I would hatch from. Shit was fucking ridiculous. Even the match was somewhat even until the half way mark, after which all the points were held by the enemy until the very end.

>>576513836Seemingly XP transfers but levels do not.
I guess Ref is arbitrarily locked?
>>576516172You need Skier LL2
>>576337532how do i stop feeling so damn tense when i play this game. i cant handle the big maps and 40 minute one life raids, but it feels so gooood
>>576516453once you get to like 1500-2000 hours
>you can turn off the lights on Labs nowHoly kino actually, I wonder if you'll be able to fuck with mentally ill labsniggers or if everyone is gonna run NVGs there just in case.
>>576517005im really worried about playing on autopilot or disassociating. i can put in hours but none of it will matter if im not "there". the most fun about games like this is learning and doing new stuff, but my brain has to play along. >>576517251
Maybe add a new sniper rifle to the game?
What's up with dailies? Haven't received new ones in over 12 hours.
Just pick the Average perk, bros.Starting out with 25 Health, Covert Movement, Perception, Search, Surgery, Mag Loading, et cetera can not be beat. I'm not sure I've even got any of said stats to 25 on my level 60 PvP PMC.
>>576524828Yeah Average is kino, been having fun in the game not having to give a shit about skills.
>Have not encountered a single solo player in season yet>Every time I kill someone his boyfriend/s takes a shit in a bush and guards the body, never tries to fight or move or push, just camps the body for 10 minutes on end so I don't even get any loot or tags >Always in a position where its just not worth pushing them with my level 3 plates and mid ammoIts so tiring. no insurance makes people really passive and was a bad idea
>>576499160I'd recommend any player complete a full PVE playthrough before going into PVP, and yes I mean terminal too. They'll know the maps inside out and how to do most quests/the quest hotspots, they'll probably have a decent handle on ammo and gun kitting and armor, and they'll have some clicking heads and peeking corners experience that they can apply to real players. It wont be easy, but its far better than going in cold
>>576524828I couldn't justify taking Average, specially when shit like metabolism and strenght and cover movement, Even it's for 120~ days It definitely is good for the start but then you just get left behind later down the line
>>576527381No you won't. Like I say, I've played almost 1000 hours on my 1.0 PvP PMC (as an already experienced player) without hitting the stats instantly granted to you by 'Average'.
>estimated time 20 minuteswhat the flip? did ukraine shut down tarkov?
>>576527381Skills dont really matter anyway. It's not like you're locked out of content or you lose fights because of low skills.
>>576528245It says that but usually only takes five.
>5v5>Nigakila disconnected>Katehikes88 disconnected>Fuzzycunny disconnected>3v4If they ever try to make this shit an eSports thing I'll have to watch the tournament just to laugh at this shit

>guess I'll try delivering this reap-ir, can't be too bad right>go to old gas>wait fuck it's supposed to be new gas god I'm retarded>go to new gas>couple of scavs, no bigg->zavodnigger literally pops up from behind a shelf inside as I'm looking through the window and apparently puts 1 9x39 BP and 3 SP-5 into my chest before I even hear the first shotguess I'm not doing that one for a while
>>576532383yea you're not doing that quest until the next season
>>576531874It's any 9x39 gun, isn't it?
>get killed>level 32its hilarious that these people have been playing non-stop since the season started.
>>576532517yeah but i think it's your best bet even if it's shit
Nah fuck that i'm scav running on reserve cause aint no way i'm paying 300k for some TNT for a quest
>>576532792"people"they're not human
>>576528002I haven't checked if all the quests are like that now but I noticed from my PvP character that on top of being generally easier a bunch of them also give you skill points, half the stuff therapist has me do gives points in surgery, Peacekeeper gives +4 in smgs of I do some bullshit on reserve, stuff like that, it's not just dailies sometimes giving you +0.34.So maybe it's more of a perk for people who generally play so little they barely get level 3 traders at the end of a wipe.
>>576534005Yeah but also consider opportunity cost; the whole time you're working up to level 25 in everything, they've already been there for X00 or X000 hours
>>576533718He had a full meta kit on. Skull mask, M855A1 and a MDR with a faggot scope on it. I know this wipe is more casual, but jeez. He heard me killing struman and bum rushed me
>>576532792Maybe they played a ton of Arena, I started 1.0 at level 20 because of all the XP ref gives you there.
>>576534530is there a seasonal arena? that would be gay as fuck. I hate the whole Arena being tied to the main game. Its stupid.
The biggest piece of fiction in Tarkov is that it makes Russia look somewhat livable.
>>576535318You have a very interesting definition of livable
>>576535318its still recovering from communism and the people there know no different from living in a shithole. from my experience, the people are more hardy and are all low IQ niggers.
>>576534370Obviously but if "the whole time" now means "until I got prapor 3 and mechanic 4" instead of "136 fucking raids doing absolutely nothing except walking very slowly, breaking my own arms, injecting dubious syringes and jerking off my Mosin for 0.08 a tug before making sure I extract at exactly 27 minutes to go craft random bullshit for the hideout management XP" it could make reaching level 30 feasible in about a month or two or playing casually without being terminally unemployed, and then you got three more to go further than the other guy.I think it'll also be useful to equalise with people who start the season halfway through and couldn't possibly reach 30 before it ends but if you start day 1 and intend to play like the job market isn't ever getting any better it might actually be a bad idea.
>>576536446Even with the changes I think you're severely underestimating the time cost of levelling these skills meaningfully above 25, but we'll see how it goes in a few months I suppose
why do people love woods so much? i think it's just as bad as shoreline. the map is empty and the only point of interest really is the sawmill. Everywhere else is dead or you just get ratted on by some faggot sniper .
>>576536893Answered your own question tee bee aych.Also look forward to them opening up all the underground passages in the future, Niggita's teasing that again on shitter
>>576535308I'm not doing the season right now but from what I've read all XP you earned since the start of the season also goes to your seasonal character. And I've noticed there's an option to send him money so I guess it's on the table too.If that's true I wouldn't put it past some of those faggots to prestige right at the start and do the Ref questline again, even if you drop it when he starts asking you to play Bl*stGang you'll still be level 10 or so ,with a dozen crates of rare FIR shit for your quests. I remember almost instantly reaching level 2 with some of those just handing them what was in those, there's tank batteries, LedXs and Virtex processors in the fucking things.
Why in God's name is this a Ref I item?
>>576535318>City built to operate freely with minimal government restriction>House the biggest pharma company of the world inside>Le pharma is actually bad and basically want to rule the world>use tarkov as testing ground since it's basically free>bribe politicians and everyone else to get their way>A cult also appears tracking le pharma workers and worship some mechanical godI would never get near tarkov plus all the other shit that lead to the Contract wars and the sudden EMP attack>>576538928You can send GP coins and cash to your seasonal apparently it's less than what you can send on main but still
>got the seasonal drops but didn't get the paypig containers on all 3 charactersno one to blame but myself for believing BSG can do literally anything right
>>576539059it's overrated anyway. only cucks timmies and scavs
They fucking changed the order of ref quests
Flesh ammo has been so fucking kino. Every (((chad))) that went with hemophilia panics. Some of the retards also matched it with dr jekyll
>>576540157hemophilia isn't that bad, but paired with dr jekyll makes the game unplayable.
>>576539551You have to go to the website and claim them
>>576539712It blocks like 21 different rounds, definitely not overrated.
>pestily hits level 20 >Suddenly decides to switche to his other one and plays a lot of ground zero suddenly again at level 1 just to seal club moreReally makes you think
>>576540769Almost as if anyone who's not a retard has been saying for years the only reason streamers and swears like wipes is so they can gear diff and seal club.
>>576540347Fair enough, I'll give them that one.
>>576540326I did both and lose several limbs an engagement if I survive.
I believe you could put the BTR on shoreline if you moved a few car wrecks a bit to the side of the road and just let it drive on dirt on the northern part of the map as any wheeled APC should be able to.This belief is entirely motivated by me being too fucking lazy to walk for five minutes but I think it'd add to the map.
>wiki isn't updaed with the kord questsfuug
>>576541627>have wasted three flares now trying to figure out what counts as the train depot for administratorthe helplessness without the wiki should get to me but it doesn't
>>576540326I have them both, it's annoying but not unplayable by any means. Would love to know what the 'lucky' perk actually does and was it worth taking dr jekyll for it.
>>576541203i'd reset. with hemophilia, it gets somewhat mitigated and stims pretty much make it a non issue.
>>576542841>Would love to know what the 'lucky' perk actually doesI think it's just RNG shit like weapon jams, bleeds and fractures. It just re-rolls the chance
ow
>>576543012Would make sense, I haven't got a single malfunction yet, and not too many fractures either considering I also have osteoporosis.
Can scavs find the documents? I haven't found ANY the past six raids
>>576543353yes
>Fucking kaban guard got back into the 14.5mm gun whilst I was inside the fucking containerI got fucking split in half
So is the play to just search billion filing cabinets if I want to progress the BP or can these docs spawn literally anywhere?
>>576544226Loose loot. I've found them on random shelves in Idea.
>>576544425Aight, I have yet to see any though, guess I should pay more attention
>>576544612there's places where they commonly spawn but there are so many in each map you will have to look up videos and reddit comments and shit
>>576544612They are also various sizes from 2x1 to 2x2. They can go in your ass even with broken container. There's also a spawn in Big Red and Crackhouse book shelves.
>>576544889>>576544890Thanks for the heads up, I'll check those places out
>>576544226I've gone through hundreds of cabinets and there haven't been anySome loose spawns I've seen:>Streets Pinewood hotel 212 on a table>Shoreline weather station 2nd floor on a chair next to the table in the middle of the room>Interchange in the new camp near railway on a table in the southeastern corner below the container
i think GZ needs adjusting. TImmies are just getting bullied and I think that's negative for the game.
Oh, to unlock the one way ref you have to finish the gladiator life chain and start a new one
>>576545640It was pretty mean making so many important spots accessible by just 1 staircase each.
fuck my worthless scav life
why does every single fucking nigger I run into have a flashlight now?
>>576549583game's dark
yup it's shit time
Honestly after awhile running all the negative perks, it really doesn't make much difference.
What do you guys bring for meds, i can't put any in a my case for once so i dont want to really be over committing
>Scav on Interchange>15 minutes left>Just yolo around looking for a backpack>Scavs up and walking around inside>Get near the camp around Emercom>Dead scavs around>Find a T-bag>Push into the camp>Hear someone sprinting>It's a scav>Go to loot nearby PMC>He's not going to shoot me>Nope>Get executed while looting PMCWhat are these dumb chuds doing? DeepedTV has 1800 hours and is a scav traitor. Enjoy the empty t-bag and VPO-215 I guess. Do you not get negative scav rep for killing other scavs anymore? I don't get why he would betray a scav.
>>576556496You do but he probably doesn't care on seasonal.
>>576556409>i can't put any in a my case for onceI'm assuming seasonal. You start with a bunch of AFAKs and IFAKs so I've been bringing that, alu splint, CALOK-B, and analgin. Then bandage, splint, and esmarch in the pockets for fast hotbar heals.
>>576556819Yeah, because it gets wiped in 120 days. So there's really no downside to killing scavs and tanking scav rep then?
>>576556982Other than nigger tax, not really. Some people are just playing and don't intend on doing Terminal.

>>576556982>So there's really no downside to killing scavs and tanking scav rep then?Yes same as normal PVP
>finess a duo on woods>they're kitted up and lugging around 200+ rounds of M855YEAAAAAAAH WE'RE BACK BABY
>>576557112>>576558752I'm looking at the wiki and it seems like scav karma has a bunch of positive effectshttps://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Scavs#Scav_karma
what is the point of the air filtering unit if your exp rate drops to 30% after three minutes of running
>>576560519It does, doesn't stop people from being niggers.
>>576560519>seems like scav karma has a bunch of positive effects*a bunch of positive effects that seem worth it
>>576560665Oh well. Something to keep in mind from now on. I just haven't had that happen to me in a long time so I wasn't sure if there was an update I missed that changed something. I didn't have shit anyway besides a salewa for the side task.
>No AK-15 still but the QBZ is in game and it's a good rifleI gotta put an end to this.
>>576561212>and it's the third to last unlock in the battle pass>and you will likely not be able to unlock it if you missed outNikita is an actual piece of shit
>>576561640I'm paying for the full BP i don't care, tarkov is a game where we cant deal with fomo, specially when its guns since they release like 2 a year
>Survive 25 raids in a row>Sleep --- Wake up>Unsurvive 25 raids in a row
wtf
>>576561778I'll play some and might end up buying it in a few months, we'll see. Depends on how actually hard the documents are to find. My luck was shit yesterday. Might grind some out just to make buying it cheaper later. That I'm genuinely considering playing fucking PVE to find the documents should really tell Nikita how fucking stupid this document shit is.
>>576561839Got too close to him. Bosses and guards are still hostile to scavs until your scav rep is high.
>>576561839to add to that other anon aggroing a boss as a scav will also make every nearby scav hostile to you, just avoid bosses like the plague until 6.01 karma and if one gets triggered just extract because they'll hunt you down
>>576561946well you can grab them in PVE so whenever you hit the cap or whatever in the season just hop onto pvp and find them there I guess?
they'll have some exotic slop on BPs while giving attachments here and there, Next season DP-12 and RK-92
What the best faction for the seasonal character bear or usec? I need every advantage I can get.
>>576562819You always go USEC unless you want lighthouse to be an even shittier experience
>>576562405The point is that even finding them is fucking terrible.
>>576562909I found one on my first scav raid
>>576562909People on X have catalogued most of the fixed spawns per map, it's going to be the same as finding the shit for lightkeepers orange dildo
>>576562737>weapom skims
>>576563021Nah they'll put skins in game via some arena linking thing
>>576562997>it'ls the same as the worst part of the lightkeeper line>and you need to do this 500 times
>>576562819I go BEAR because they have better drip and they are the canonical good guys. USEC EMP'd their own guys in Ground Zero and are being used by TerraGroup. Plus if you're a contrarian then you should go BEAR since everyone goes USUC.
>>576563205Or you can pay up to 80 dollars and skip it for free!>>576563272Sorry but all your drip is now part of my USEC since I am a true believer so you get nothing exclusive, other than an exclusive shittier experience
>>576561640You can unlock it through the seasonal questline.
>>576563272USEC are also borderline war criminals, you can see the elevator shaft in labs where they liquidated all the TG scientists, BEAR are just glorified spec ops trying to stop themThat being said from a gameplay perspective now that GRU on Terminal turned out to be a complete lie and USEC stolen their drip there's actually zero point to playing as them but I do it anyway because I always have since before labs was even a map
>>576563372>all your drip is now part of my USEC since I am a true believerDid they change it so you can apply any clothes and apparel on any faction?>although BEAR and USEC operators each have their own parts. Owners of the "The Unheard" edition of the game can wear parts from both factionshttps://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Tactical_clothingOh shit. That's weird. So I can wear the base USEC clothes on my BEAR.
>>576563630>Usec are basically war criminalsYou say like that's a bad thing, we play USEC because we love being the opps I want to be the evil western PMC the russians dream about, I wanna leave the comfort of my western world to kill and die for money in Russia, I will kill everyone in this thread if it means I'll be fast roping down a Black hawk in St Petersburg with 6 other dudes dressed in black killing everyone on sight and burning sensitive intel from the evil company that owns my fucking soul
>>576563920Least unhinged USEC player
Has anyone found any of the new streamer items inside ration crates? 3 out of 4 of the new items are food.
>>576563920>I will kill everyone in this threadYou will have an asthma attack and then burst your deep vein thrombosis trying to get up from your chair but it's good to have dreams
>>576564094WE USEC 4 LIFE (and if it was possible) BD FOR LIFE you bear players wish that some old ass MI-8 hovered down on lighthouse and some fucking spetsnaz dropped in just like BD but guess what, you got none of that!!!!! The best you hear about is Batya but they're not even in tarkov>>576564484I am currently coughing myself to a slow death due to a flu but yea you're right>>576564452I found GigaBeefs GigaBeef in a scav, and I found the chinese water on the USEC camp.
>>576563562Which doesn't negate the issue of it being unavailable after this season ends.
>>576565147You do realize they can just add it to any quest or achievement they want, right? They did the same with the full auto Saiga when they added it, it was originally lovked behind event achievements, later they added it as a quest unlock. You can probably just buy it on the flea too.
>still no hideout catTerrible update.

>>576565608I'm very much doubting they will. Why even bother including it in the pass if so?

You have literally zero choice in the matter. Anyone who's there to PVP or camp will kill you, they have literally every single advantage. It's just rolling the dice until you thread the needle by chance.
>>576512916I wish I had .45 ACP for that M911 I found day 1 instead of giving it away for Tour.
why is the uzi still so broken in arena, this gun is flat out retarded
yeah this is like 100x more retarded than the mp7 meta fagshit was
sick as a dog and my head is pounding but I'm getting my tarky in
Do twitch drops give injector/grenade/ammo cases? I urgently need space.
>>576565608Pfff, they haven't added a way to unlock Model-1 or tep 300 for people who play arena after season 1. What makes you think they will do that. Nikita loves FOMO tactics.
Opened two legendary ones, and got t5 rigs, t4 helms, and gun+attachments+ammo t. >>576588537
good start of the wipe
this game looks really funto watch someone else play
>>576590089its only fun to watch if the player is dogshit or retarded

>>576590178makes sense, I'm watching HutchMF and he's both of those>>576590221I'm just too old nowI feel like I'd have a heart attack playing this gameI also suck at shooting, so I'd definitely lose every fight even to bots

>>576590304>I'm just too old nowI've seen clips of literal boomers playing this game and doing just fine.
>>576591380yea but the other problem is I suck at FPS
>>576591420The only person stopping you from improving is yourself.
>>576562880The rogues seem to have gotten nerfed, instead of a dozen of them I just see 2 or 3 now, half the time I can just walk in because there's not even enough of them to man all the mounted guns on the rooftops. And I've noticed the ones on other buildings don't instantly laser you when you're there.I think in the long run whatever discount you get from the BTR (10% I think?) is more useful than the five seconds of neutrality you get from the rogues.
>>576513564At least you have the piece of mind that BSG is way too stupid and incompetent to implement something nefarious.Call of Duty begins to shuffle around your spawns when you do too well against your algorithm dictated score...
servers down
10 min estimated queue time, still waiting for a server 8 mins in. Can't wait to get sniped off spawn and lose Mechanic's optic.
>servers down>twitch drops not workingNIKITAAAAAAAAAA
They back up yet?
>>576596257i managed to scav into streets but stuck in awaiting server start when trying to go into woods
What were they thinking with the "closer to the daily doc cap your are, less docs spawn in raid"actually stupid
>>576596482I scavved into Interchange successfully but don't want to risk my PMC
guess I'm not extracting from Customs today
>>576594874The game is down nigga, no one can play.
>servers still downhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jwcxGSDaOM
So I went to these locations on PvE and there's nothing there. Is it random chance? Do they not show in PvE?
>>576599748Those are not the only spawns for them.
>>576599849So are they in randomised spots? And how does the daily cap work? I haven't touched any of this shit yet and apparently I'm wasting daily caps.
>>576599910There's probably over a dozen spots on each map, and it's random whether or not documents will spawn in those spots.
>>576599910They have fixed spawns, but they are not guaranteed spawns. Lets say there are 5 documents spawning in your raid, they can be in 5 out of 15 possible spawn points. I suggest you look up more sources to figure out where they can spawn, I think that screenshot was posted on wipe day, people have found more spawns since then.
>>576596582So that you'll spend $70 to finish the pass instead of practicing CBT with the spawn rates.
Two days of using all consumables I could find and I still don't know any of my allergies, guess I'm lucky, but I worry it will come to bite me in the ass at the absolute worst time
>>576600194>Lets say there are 5 documents spawning in your raid
>>576600375Its an example, retard. I've found 3 in one raid already.
So what's the best resource for document spawnas? VeryBadScav on Twitch is trying to compile all the info but it's pretty scarcehttps://kord-map.vercel.app/
>>576603436yeah why they didn't just implement a normal xp or raid time based battle pass progression is beyond me.
How are my other allnegativemodifier bros doing?
i'd much rather black division have lower quality equipment if it meant that you could actually kill them without performing the most disgusting cheeses of all time
>>576604604Because if it wasn't frustrating and tedious to grind the battle pass you wouldn't be incentivized to pay for it.
I'm kinda confused as how seasonal rewards work. So you can do the battlepass in PVE, but what can you not get in PVE? Is it just the achievements that's only in seasonal pvp?
>>576604604I like it this way. Gives me a reason to loot now that it's not worth doing it for task items, gear or money since everything was simplified and Icrebreaker is a thing
>>576605809seasonal cheevos and seasonal taskline unlocks
>>576606180Ok I see them. Really I just want that chest rig so I'll just get around to grinding that shit.
>>576605905>i like doing the shittiest part of the lightkeeper task 500 times
I did a 500k cultist circle sacrifice and got a single pack of 9x39 BP...
>>576607494i got a clock
should i put my bd dogtags in the cultist cricle or no
>>576608361You put in all 5 and get back like two documents. You can thank Nikita's generosity with a blowjob.
>>576608361Yeah
Anyone know if documents spawn in training raids?
You can get over the daily documents limit by using transit, use it before BSG patches it.
I forgot to pick my backpack with the REAP-IR in it back up from my bush when I returned to my computer after idling on Customs.
>try to get Customs tasks done by playing normally>swimming through a literal non-stop onslaught of PMCs until I finally die>switch to just afking through the raid and then running through all my tasks at the very end, just barely managing to exfilI fucking hate it how efficient it is to just do NOTHING all raid to progress. Customs is also the only map I do this on, since surviving a single raid there is a literal impossibility, while all other maps are just fine.
>>576611123I just checked on labs real quick, they do
Has anybody ever used the Interchange Safe Room Exfil before?
>>576613684Yea, it's just not that popular anymore because nobody ever turns on power.
>die>duo>die>duo>die>trio>die>duo>die>trio
>>576614696Same, anon, same. Customs is especially bad. Haven't run into a single fucking solo PMC this whole "wipe" there.
>>576600232>Allergic to MULE
>>576614696Just bring two or three of your friends along to help you, anon. Surely you have several of them.Kind of surprised they never had some sort of deal where you can have a friend play for free for a week or so now that I think about it, games like that used to do this all the time
>>576614696its insane they made the game wildly easier for groups for no reason whatsoever
>>576617810>wildly easier for groupshow?
>Tactical Clothing is synchronized between EFT: Arena and PvP Season in both directions. If Tactical Clothing is unlocked in one game, it automatically becomes available in the other.>still can't use cross-faction clothing in arenaNIGGITA
>>576618462>he bought the unheard editionLMAOOO
>>576618187most kill quests share credit between squad members now like image relatedeven if its a gun specific kill quest you can have only 1 member of the group carry that gun and it counts for everyone else
>>576613320Fuck, I was going to make that comment to this >>576558181 because that was literally my same exact impression.I think the strat is to spawn in, immediately go hide in a bush or corner, go afk, set a timer on the phone for like 20 minutes, and go wash dishes or something, then come back to loot and quest. I had to fight off 3 PMCs just to go 150 meters to do a simple visit location quest and died before I could do it. If I had just went prone in a bush and came back 20 minutes later, I wouldn't have to 1v3 for a single task and some scraps of loot.
>>576619004But if you're playing with multiple people, they could previously steal your kills
>>576619586bro that's tarkov. that's just regular tarkov. but yes, if you want to task, waiting is the most effective strategy (when someone isn't wallhacking)
>>576619586Yep, lel. My last Customs match:>spawn near Dorms, all my tasks are on the other side of the map>Get attacked by a duo while inside the two-story dorm>manage to escape from them>get attacked by a fucking duo of pscavs a few mins later>kill the scavs>while looting them, I get attacked by another pscav>manage to kill him too, even though he ambushed me hard>while looting him, get attacked by a decked out PMC>do a quick 180 and somehow manage to headtap the dude, even though he was relatively juiced>turned out he had two friends>fight them and get hurt badly, out of ammo>down one of them, the other guy goes into hiding>while loading my mags, get shot with a fucking svd, but survive>out of ammo, out of meds>manage to get the last guy of the trio with my literal last bullet>while looting him for a quick gun, I get attacked by the svd wielding PMC>down him too>3 minutes left>just grab something off of my kills and get to exfil with 15 seconds to spareI got 0 tasks done, since I LITERALLY couldn't move anywhere after being attacked by that pscav duo. Just non-stop fighting until I ran out of time to do anything. Pretty much all my Customs raids have been like that, if I try to play normally (except I get killed before I can exfil normally).Shit's frustrating as fuck. It doesn't even feel good to kill PMCs, since I'd rather progress my tasks, get levels and trader rep. Fucking hate this shit.
>>576618567unfortunately truethough in my defense it was a cope purchase in a moment of weakness after cat died last month and not while I was of sound mindt. shameful secrets haver
>>576619586Can't you try at night, with thermal scopes all over the place and no insurance it might be easier than usual
>>576620671>in a moment of weakness after cat died last month and not while I was of sound mindI'm sorry, anon.
>>576620671>after cat diediktf bro, shit sucks.
>>576620671If you want to buy something then you buy it, it really doesn't matter. The opinion of poor brownoids on 4chan really don't matter.Sorry about your cat bro
newfag herewhat are the documents for
>>576621853Battle pass
>>576620290At least you had some fun>spawn at crossroads>find the toolkit in the garage>go towards big read after spending 10 minutes looting>shots come from nowhere, look towards direction>nothing but bushes>head, nape>level 21 sweatlord camping big red for 15 minutesfun
did BSG change how scav karma works or something? Ive never had this much scav on scav violence ever playing tarkov besides when karma was a thing. Even then, msot scavs were cool to each other.Had two no life giga faggots with 5-10k+ hours each kill me just to loot garbage
>>576622368btw i just used some chink service to mass report the scav that killed me because it made me that fucking mad enjoy your 10k hour account being banned nigger mxprocopio
PSA: You can get a free junk box quite early from Therapist, don't waste your roubles.
>got the tracksuit on seasonal for some reasonwhat the fuck lmao
>>576622368because tarkov is not meant to be a wholesome reddit chungus experiencepersonally I bully pscavs whenever possible
>>576620076yes, now you don't even need to kill anything or even be near the targets getting killed in order to get credit for them
>>576624327i have it on PVP too lmao, same with Predator upperi think i know why, i have both achievements in PVE, there's no way this is intentional.
>>576620076>>576624562That would just promote boosting and carrying services
>>576622368I had the same thing happen to me >>576556496I think there is pscav violence now because players are looking for battle pass documents and will take scav karma hits for it
>ambush duo early into raid>friend gets one I get the other>go to extortionist hut>some faggot is just camping it and headshots friend>run off as grenades come flying>get to new construction, get shot in the back by some nigger camping inside as I try to run towards med>get around med>get mowed down by some nigger randomly camping behind a containerTHERE IS NO WINNING IN THIS FUCKING DOGSHIT GAMEIt's a fucking retarded dice roll, no skill involved, niggita should neck himself>get shot in the side
>>576623651no junkbox bought is a waste of roubles
>>576627060There's billions of people playing EFT right now so the server lobbies are probably packed to the brim like sardines
>>576624723good... gets more people funding nikita's dream game (skyrim with guns)
>>576627060seething so hard I can't even format my post properly>>576627261There's a max player count pr raid though, right? 10-13 in customs I guess is a lot from what I can see, but when NONE OF THEM DO SHIT EXCEPT GOON WHILE CAMPING RANDOM PLACES, THE MAP IS ALWAYS GOING TO BE FULLHaven't had a single good raid this wipe. I kill someone, I end up dying no matter if I'm playing cautiously or aggressively.I get one quest done, I spend 5 raids dying trying to do the next simple task.Why do I play this, when I could instead be playing any other game, that rewards skill and intelligence instead of luck
>go to shoreline resort on main to get a document since main raids are insanely dead>roam around for ages and finally find the one document that seemed to spawn>run to lighthouse extract>extract camped by a duooh my fucking god.
>>576627414>Why do I play this, when I could instead be playing any other game, that rewards skill and intelligence instead of luckbecause you're a gambling addict. you want the high-highs and low-lows. the scav blowjobs and the kicks in the balls
>>576613320I've had to fight either a solo or a duo for all of the early Customs contracts, luckily I've either came out on top or managed to get away most of the time. I'm glad that the early game Customs trial-by-fire didn't get totally gutted by the missions rework, it's so memorable and really forces you to learn that map. It's way less brutal here than it was when I started playing (1-2 months into 1.0) since Dormitories haven't been fully infested by PvPfaggots going in to kill each other every raid.
Checkpoint is some of the most fucked up shit I've had to play.
is there a cheese for this
>>576632231No. You learn the prenades in BG or you never finish it because getting nade kills in TF is extremely hard.
>>576632431do you know where the grenade spawns on bay 5 last hero cause it could just be done with a friend theni hear it every game but don't know where it is
>Kinda want to play fresh on my PVE account>don't want to reset my account that ive played with Friends since 1.0.
>>576632549I don't know where all of them are, but two spawns are definitely here.
Making Ground Zeroes one of the maps for the MP5SD Test Drive task is sadistic. BSG have ensured the liquor store will be camped by skilled players for all eternity.
>>576635552That means free Grenadier kills for you. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
>>576635552Did they or not lowered the PMC count for test drive? I checked on my perma pmc and it was 5 pmcs, but on the wiki it still say 20
>>576627434>since main raids are insanely deadThis might be the play. Play PvP main now and then come back to seasonal later in the season.
>complain here about being unable to find AI PMCs to get test drive part 1 done in PvE>PMC kill requirement on the quest lowered by 4 less than a week later
>>576632874damn those parts of the map are blocked off in LH
>>576639438There aren't any nades in LH. Only in TF and BG
>>576639675i could swear i've heard one go off in bay 5 a few timesthere's morphine laying around in that map too so i think the nade is definitely somewhere
>3 kek tapes from the military camp in shorelineTEEMING
Has anybody gotten any use out of the compass before? Might actually be worth learning for when you spawn in the middle of fucking nowhere on Woods, IDK
>>576640540I used it more or less for learning every map when I was new.
>>576640540Not really, just use a external map and learn the maps and use points of interests to navigate, eventually you'll know the maps in and out.
>>576640540you can use the mountain in the middle on woods to learn the map really fast and orient yourself
>>576632231>BlastgangPull the pin from far enough they won't hear it and nade the bombsite when someone is defusing. On stadium there's also a way to throw one across the map and land it on CT spawn right when they're leaving , look it up on YouTube I'm sure some guy made a video about good spots the same way people do in CS.>TeamfightHide like a bitch the entire game and nade the capture point when they go for it. People usually go prone when doing so which makes it nearly impossible to run away.In both cases remember to call Ref every slur you can think of for giving you those baby grenades instead of RGD-5s.
add extracts inside the mall of interchange, plz. doing early quests makes me remember how bad this map is. easily the worst map in the game.
>>576646156interchange should've never had an outside section
>>576646146>On stadiumPretty much all the maps have pre-nades.
i have an idea to kinda stump the pre-medding meta>when your legs are blacked, the first 5 seconds you feel no pain and can keep sprinting
>>576647119but then i wouldn't be able to break the legs of timmies and let my retarded friend kill them for his quests
>get to kiba for informed means armed>Killa is just crouched in a random corner>die within 0.2 secondswtf is this ? im so sick of this map
>>576646901Obviously but I noticed those work more often as people on Stadium typically ignore that whole "Counter Strike" bullshit and just do a round of TeamFight on A, on other maps people seem more sapient and avoid shit like this.
>>576635552they need to re-work the restrictions. I think anyone with 1-2 wipes should be in their own lobbies until level 20.
the mod4 val is cool but it feels like how little recoil is actually gets you killed because there's no your gun kicking into somebody's face
what is going to happen to the main PvP, now?It's going to get incredibly stale for people who still play it and flea market inflation is going to go crazy.
>get drop on duo>severely injure one>they run into building>can hear one of them coughing >keep switching angles>can feel their panic>kill the dying one>the other duo panics>rushes at me>ez killlol, some duos are gen terrible.
>>576649869Move to seasonal. Main PvP will get stale for anyone over time.
i regret taking prodigy. it's not that substantial as i thought. skills still take forever to learn. Wish I just took average or Hercules now
Lol I took a pmc out with the MP-18 single shot rifle as a scav. He got cocky, was hard peeking, and was pushing me. He must be pissed. Of course he had a boyfriend to avenge him.
do you think i can get my doctor to prescribe me some fucking benzos or something for playing tarkovit seems medically necessary imo
localization is my passion
>>576652943ive noticed a lot of bugs like this.had a raid where scav rounds had pink tracers and every time a scav died their death noise bugged out and it sounded like the sound file crashed midway thro and it created a horrendous high frequency noise.
>doing courier>hear duo>heart starts beating>they're in the bushes waiting>kill them both>plant the thermal scope>drag myself out starving and dehydratedoof
>>576653147ngl that COULD be your machine or your install...
what's a good drug for not having a fucking cardiac event every time a bush rustles
>>576652579Always a win when you ruin someone's day as a scav.
>>5766563261. the chill pill2. passion fruit juice3. some chill tea4. some headset (ingame)5. turn your volume down, turn your 6th sense up
>>576656326its just a game. get used to the idea that there are PMCs in your raid and you will have to confront them. Also, don't sprint everywhere, always make sure youre on some sort of painkiller 90% of the time and play slowly. Your S/R will sky rocket
So what does "armor shortage" actually do?
>>576656879>don't sprint everywhereyou can sprint as long as you keep spawns and spawn timing in mind.. and taking too many pks for a noob is a bad idea cause they'll die of thirst. with how much meds you'll use up it'd be a better idea to carry some morphine or adrenaline or propital and panic med, and try to pre-med when reaching hotspots
Finally survived a raid. I had to play it super slow and careful the first 20 minutes. After that the shooting died down significantly. Of course all the main loot spots were already looted but at least I got some tasks done and picked up some scraps that were enough to finish some tasks and somehow some multiple hideout sections too. The downside to slow play is that I was low on energy but fortunately I was near Goshan so I headed their quickly to refuel. Found out I'm allergic to iced tea. It nuked all my energy and hydration when I drank it. Perfect place to test that since provisions were all over the grocery store. I guess you can also test it off raid.
>>576658969*thereNow I just dial up the pace until I get a good balance between survival and efficiency.
>>576620671I get it bro, it sucks. My cat's getting up there in age and I hope for a few more good years with the old man.Rest in peace, kitty.
>>576658969My main problem with my low K/D so far is I expected way less gear to be given out and everyone else was running their free armors and guns while I was memeing with budget gear hoping to focus tasks. Took 4 attempts to unlock Jaeger.
>>576659132Goood, good... activate the Rats
>>576656532Yeah, especially when he sees that his killer was a smelly hobo scav bum with a single shot rifle (admittedly with good as hell BT ammo)
I swear there's bots that list things low and when one gets bought they re-list them at a 50% markup.
>>576660976bots ? on a non fir flea market? no way man.
>>576646335but the map's literally a highway interchange not a shopping mall it's in the name
i love running around open fields on woods with no armor and hearing random ass fucking bullet cracks over my head it makes me feel very comfortable and relaxed
>player kills me with a 9x19 Saiga>BCP killed me
>>576662225I'm not playing on seasonal. Nothing against it, but I have a job I travel for and other hobbies and now that PvP doesn't wipe and the SPTrannies folded at the first sign of trouble I can actually play without feeling like I'm spinning my wheels.
trying to elite gamer focus on tarkov but my stupid BITCH cat keeps licking my foot very aggressively under the desk... I'm never gonna make it...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LskxB2wpC9sThis is so cool, but if you've gotten this yourself, it means you're either fucking around with a friend or some random asshole probably just costed you a very rare opportunity to get important things done with no recourse on your end. I still have not been to Lighthouse or The Labs.>Kill Killa 50 times and you get to wear his tracksuit and golden watch, which is something that only cheaters, streamers and grindpomberos would ever actually set out to do (none of those groups would appreciate it for what it is). The artfaggotry of content in Escape From Tarkov scales inversely with the amount of people whom will reach it that could actually properly appreciate it, Lightkeeper is behind hundreds of hours of sidequests and up to a dozen players doing PMC kill missions, only cheaters play on Labs, and the endings take insane amounts of irredeemable grind unless you go for the least interesting ending and get consistently lucky at every friction point.>Yeah Tarkov is kind of tragic for this. Everything cool about it is wasted on the people most invested in playing it. People like me just sort of skim the surface of the 'game' every now and then to look at cool Nikita stuff before getting blasted back out by guys playing the game from a discord command centre with three support monitors feeding them battle-data like they're trying to hold the line in Ukraine.Marathon (2026) might actually have it even worse in this regard, you can't really thug it out through its end-game without a co-ordinated team. I nearly reached the Minecraft-style "final boss" of that game but parted ways with the game a few steps short of it proper.
maybe i should play pve
>>576666569>open pve for the first time>wow thats a lot of notificationsjesus christ
>>576666982kek same fucking thing right now, even the promo codes
does pve have a separate flea or is it linked to regular pvp
>>576667709separate but actually fucking raped
why do they put GZ objectives in the campiest fucking rooms possible
tarkov peaked in the free-market era after flea came out and before all the FiR garbage was addedgod i miss that wipe bros
>>576666569I miss SPT desu, I wish they had at least tried to keep updating the game but code obfuscation is what it is. SPT bots would do wild shit like sprint jump shot crackhouse doors or sit up on Factory tankers then drop down through stripper pole to try to circle around and flank you. PvE bots just sit in the bushes in front of power station on Interchange and kill the scavs that wander over and once you've checked power station, the Oli lot and the scav camp in the road opposite the front of the mall you know you're never gonna see a PMC again.
>>576666271Correct. The game has a lot of those great bits and pieces in it but Nikita's obsession with hardcore and the streamer culture surrounding the game led to most of the goodness in the game being hidden behind untold hours of toil.
Scav was smoking that rock while building this fucking thing.
>>576669268Isn't that the ref trade in too?
how the fuck
>>576671037They know it's a videogame and the fire is not real
>BD guy had 300 Rounds of M80A1>Dropped him so early and was stuck fighting the rest of the squad that the AI scavs just fucking stole the M60 away from meFUCKING SCAVS MAN!!!!!!!!!!
