>>579357841>t.
Fuck i'll take it as a win, I'll go again later
>>579357890I think I have one of the Labs cards on permanent PvP but I don't ever want to go there on EU servers. Guessing it's all cheaters here and all freak niggers on US servers
>>579357890It's adorable
For how few real items are actually in the battle pass, do they really think this shit is something people actually want?
died because his helmet bounced three SOST
>>579361361that lucky perk Also shoot the face
>>579361528hey it's that guy who only brings in a TT-33 with exactly the number of bullets as kills he intends to get again
>>579360285there's quite a bit of shitters there and with black division on the map players aren't even your biggest concern
>Rogue phased through an entire wall and tapped me in the face
My bad didn't realise new bread was upDo any other CAGfags know what loot spot or enemy has the highest rate of tan FAST spawns for the sake of my seasonal character seeing as Domontovich decided to be a cunt and remove the trade? Apparently rogues can spawn them but I've only ever seen them with it like once. Might be worth grinding Icebreaker for easy JPC access anyway>>579352968 #Grumpy > Voron > Shatun >>> the Lighthouse one that I forget the name of because it was dogshit all five times I opened itGrumpy spawns the most plates, a bunch of weapons, Slicks, rare helmets, metafag ammo and it also seems to have the highest chance of a keycard spawning from my experience. Good enough for meVoron has bitcoin/LEDX spawns but they're not that common nowadays, the weapon spawns are kind of poo and the plates are mostly garbage, but at least you can see what's on the table before opening itShatun is decent for scopes/muzzle devices early wipe and it has mid tier valuable spawns somewhat frequently, but otherwise it's mediocre
>>579360819took me 40 i think to get the gun at the end, i only cared about the backpacks and armour and stuff everything else was gay
>>579366390I've found a btc/ledx 2/3 times I've opened Voron's room, think I've found a class 6 plate/armour every time.
https://streamable.com/00tj0qJust end it man onto the next season or something
fuck you NIGGER !
just ogt killed by this faggot
Can one of you guys try that dlss5 shit on tarkov? this game kinda looks good in places but then looks like DOG SHIT most of the time
>>579367446Haha bro you gotta line that thing called a crosshair up on the ENEMY
>>579370854!!!!!
What the fuck is wrong with the scav spawns on Reserve? I just did an offline one to test and it took twenty fucking minutes running from spawn to spawn just to get 12 of them
Where to look for baguette that isn't an Icebreaker? Are there any cool dedicated food spawn locations like an updated 206 for water?I've probably missed that thing multiple times because it genuinely looks like a turd.
>>579375478Just loot duffles bro, they are streamer item central
>>579375478static dead bodies, pink suitcases and duffle bags. GZ has a million of each
>>579377286But i doubt you want to scav into GZ with the chance of being in the way of a BD death squad
>>579375478DufflesMedical/ration airdropsLocked rooms on streets that have food spawns
lol, seemingly infinite level 6 plates, thank you sew it good part 4 and cultist circle
i HAVE NEVER BEEN SO FUCKING HAPPY IN MY ENTIRE LIFE
>>579375478I found it around the crashed plane on Woods.Don't forget to spam the circle while you're looking for it.
>>579381002>70 hp giganiggas can spawn with Bastion platesGrim.
ran to the wrong exfil and fucking died award
>>579381926The moment you see a bastion wearing nigga you run to the nearest door and shut it
KS23 scopes when?
do you think PMCs ever poop themselves in raid
>BD spawn in the engine room>fps drops to sub 20>die to fragmentation buggood ol tapkob
>>579382718And then what? Shid my pants and fart a little?
Is it too late to start this season? Also I heard they are planning to add revives.
>>579385858It was too late on day 1
>>579385971That's a shame, I stopped playing a few weeks before the season dropped
>>579386064>That's a shameNo, it's not, just fucking play the game. Poopsocks are always ahead of you, even if you'd be the first person to load on the very first server on wipe day, you'd still be behind in a matter of hours.
people underestimate the pleasantness of night raids and tasking in the dark
>>579391319they're super cozy and not full of squads
>>579391319I haven't played them this season, but I imagine they're even more comfy now that Insomnia doesn't force night PVP.
>>579391319>>579391649Truly? I have a bunch of spare nods from icebreaker that I can't sell on the flea or vendor for more than ~70k.
>>579391319I've done a few night raids and the problem so far has been significantly increased cheater odds
>>579392116give them a tryevery time I got some fetch quest, I go nighttime, and tend to survive them much better. been also hunting BD's in them and they seem calmerthe raids do play differently though, sound is even more important, and you don't really want to sprint everywhere despite feeling safer than usual.>>579392134during seasonal I've only bumped into a few blatant cheaters of which one a ragehacker, most of them just seem to avoid players even harder there
>need 3 more scav kills with 9x39 on Reserve for Punisher>10 minutes left in the raid>decide to check out the bunker>pscav party all over the joint>let's change thathttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9cF8XQPQ1lU
>doing poverty run with a kedr>walk in on pmc looting tarbank, oblivious>point fire unload into his headthat helmet saved your life dude
>>579391649i like to take my noobie friends to night raids for tasking to ensure we're less likely to run into people and the people we do run into are probably also there for tasking. I've had people play really passively and run away upon hearing me during night raids, sometimes we even disengage from fights completely in the dark and move on with no one dying. I like using shotguns and night raids close engagement distances so i can rape people up close and I don't have to worry about being sniped from a thousand meters away.
>>579395715why are you shooting sp7 into armor
Can you get the BD intel items from the cultist circle? I have found the laptop, keys and SSD on the one group I fought, but you need 3 SSDs for one of the quests. Also, are they all guaranteed to have one of the items on them, or did I just get lucky?
>spawn in by big red>run all the way across to 3-Dorms>not a sound and only see one random scav in the distance walking around>go inside>no one here>check everywhere>still nothing>go to marked room>green card and red rebel>leave without incident>go all the way to old gas>finally a few scavs>transit to factory>no tagilla>safes both have bronze lions in them>just a bunch of PMCs fighting each other and almost no scavsShit was weird but I do like money
>>579397329you just got luckyI'd farm the SSD's in labs, as they spawn there (i think) every raid. the drop chance is a bit worse, but you can reliably farm them there
I fucking HATE how I spaz out when I'm surprised by bullshit even when I kind of expect itBut seriously the guy just now COULD NOT have known I was there, he wasn't ACTING like he knew I was there, and yet wow why not just double back for no reason and instantly kill me with full magazines of AP SX like *everyone surely has*!
>>579398143Can they spawn at any time, or do you need to turn off the lights to get them to spawn?
>>579399983yes, you don't need to turn the lights off for them to spawn
>clear helipad with 15 mins to spare>decide to clear bd under helipad>kill em all and loot >random bd from an upper deck(?) aggros right as I walk up to heliUnbelievable. There goes six class 5 plates and however much in shitty loot I had.
>>579401880unlucky, it's the bd's at the chain door, you went too far to the right and the angle opened upyou can also kill them from the helipad occasionally
I have literally done this several times and I'm still at 0/3, wtf (yes, I did it on my scav)
>29/30 rogue kills>last rogue is on a mounted gun and can't be killedAwesome.
>>579398112it's monday. No one but loot vacuumers are playing.
>>579404027He's already dead, his body is just bugged.
>pscav cowering next to the LAV I was going to mark in the last 7 minutes of the round on StreetsWhat the fuck was he doing there? What is wrong with these people?
>>579403703Such extract tasks are broken at the moment
>>579403703Any task that says "any location" is actually supposed to be a specific one. You can try playing every single map to figure out which one, but I just reroll until it's something like 12 provision items in one raid. It's definitely bugged.
Where is everyone getting these piles of 4.6 AP SX from? I have genuinely been killed with it FIVE times tonight, on fucking FACTORY of all places.
>>579404783>>579405181damn, good to know for later I guess
>>579405393Wedge and his guards can have it on icebreaker.
heading to shoreline with 7 markerswish me luck (a swift death)
>>579405448So everyone and their dog is running Icebreaker 24/7 with short breaks to take AP SX and class 5/6 to Factory?
>>579405624Yeah, pretty much. If you want proof go look at the price of monoclete 4 plates (main plate that spawns on pre-wedge BD), the price of various stims like etg, sj6, and trim, which have BD dogrtag barters, and the m855a1 100 round ammo box.
>>579404079He's PvE.
>>579405783On the basis that the vast majority of people are completely retarded I simply do not believe they're capable of doing that in the numbers I'm seeing.
>>579405981I think that between the twitch drops, the streets ammo rooms that shit out max pen ammo, and the poopsocks that do farm ap ammo and use it like it's nothing dying to other pmcs probably spreads it around pretty well.
My merc for the first raid of the day. Won a fight against a 170 hour blut, grabbed every single thing he had and got right out. Hope he appreciated my swag, because I dropped my beret for his shitty airsoft helmet T_T
That beret is Ragman lvl 3 God fucking damn it
Do your scav runs
where does one find a VPX Flash Storage Module
>>579412045Lighthouse, in the houses up on the hills
>>579412045rb-pkpts
>>579412004Nuh uh cuz I can just kill the goons on my pmc
>>579412004No.
had such a fucking bullshit day of getting bullshit killed I'm so glad russia isn't real
Tracksuit in the next Arena battlepassKillaniggers and paypigs on suicide watch.

>>579412083founded it, thanks bro>>579412204tad bit expensive compared to scavving a bit
>>579415570>founded it, thanks bronp
I hope new lighthouse comes with a new event
The new chinkslop AR is so blatantly top tier it's not even funny.
remove ref and cut the arena connection from seasonal.
>>579417115It only has mid tier ammo from traders. I've literally never seen it in permanent servers.
>>579415570that room pays the cost off twice with one use
is the howa type 20 any good?
>>579417259M856A1 equivalent that isn't a tracer for sub 400 roubles at 360 rounds per limit, it's unironically good enough because the gun has zero recoil and decent firerate.
im trying to farm blueprints on factory and this nigga was ratting gate 3. his mask bounced my magnum buck, cant wait for that thing to be nuked.
>>579417930>15k hours>still sub 1 KDJesus fucking Christ...
>>579418003that's probably why he's ratting on factory. he wasn't very good, but his gear won him that fight basically. I went in with a hobo kit , mp155 with buckshot
>guy with gear wins fight against homeless child>in other news, the grass is green and the sky is blue
>>579417930>level 40 in 179 raidsi fucking hate arena, honest to god. why did they tie it to seasonal? it makes no sense, ref and arena leveling shouldnt even be in seasonal. whats the point of imposing debuffs on yourself when you can be level 15 on the first day of wipe and have unlimited GP coins and meta ammo.
>>579418408tick tock. that skull mask is getting nerfed, lil boy.
>>579418569I don't wear death shadows because I have a fat cock. >>579417514I think so. It's basically a G36 that doesn't look like piece of melted plastic shit. I've been having a great time with it.
>>579419295how much does the howa cost? is it a BD tag barter?
>rogues will no longer be neutral to USECKinda lame, considering existing lore. I wonder if they'll change the BTR discount for BEAR. I didn't really see any problem with Rogues being neutral to USEC once they unfucked the Rogues being chink tier bullshit to BEAR players. It's not like there's enough loot on lighthouse to matter than USEC players can walk around them.
>>579420420Like 930 monopoly money from Peacekeeper.
>>579420420The type 20 plus it's suppressor will run you around 300k rubles.
>>579420840>plus it's suppressorThe type 20 is compatibile with standard 5.56 suppressors.
>>579420840that kinda sucks for a worse M4
>>579420893>erm ackshuallyIm well aware.
>>579420993A kitted m4 will cost you more anyway. I personally think the suppressor should be a little cheaper, but it's got pretty high recoil mitigation so I guess they felt it should be expensive so it doesn't make the m4 even better.
>>579421158yeah but you can get a M4 cheaper and you can slap a sight and a muzzle on it and call it a day.
>Run streets>Walk out with Intel, GPU, and two buttcoins>But no Military COFDM'sThe only place I semi-consistently see them is in the Merin Trunk but Wiki says they're in Negotiation Room and Concordia locked rooms. I've picked one up in Negotiation before but I honestly think the wiki might be outdated/wrong at this point.
>>579421281Only poor people do that.
>>579421320>But no Military COFDM'sPKPTS on reserve.
>>579418003just killed this
>>579421320Just spam the cultist circle, for whatever reason it always prints COFDMs for me when I need them for quests.
>>579421514Huh
Shoreline is such a weird map.You hear zero gunshots for the entire raid, but the moment you decide to move you die to someone in the open.I swear this shit does not happen on any other map.
>>579425027Shoreline plays extremely fucking weirdly now. The spawns are weird and you never know if half the map is going to transit to somewhere else. I have no idea how people move anymore and my raids are dead as fuck more often than not now.
>Colleagues, Rigged Game, Opthalmoscope and CMS kit all in one raidFuggggg feels so GOODDDDD
How do I unlock Shooter Born in Heaven? Wanna get cozy and sit in mountains and snipe. Wiki doesn't say what the requirements are
>>579427319psycho at least
>>579427319I believe it's Mechanic 4 now, unfortunately. I've also heard you need to do Psycho Sniper first, but I don't think that's how it works, it seems like when you do X amount of quests at a certain loyalty level you unlock a few more.
>make armor harder to get>best in slot metaslop ap rounds are still super easy to findWhat did BSG mean by this?
>>579428387>>make armor harder to getlollmao even
>>579428387They wanted to make the thorax hitbox less durablePretty much a failure desu, 90% of all pvp kills are still headshots because even bad plate tank too much
They probably won't do it, but it would be cool to have BD rigs in Arena.
>had god-awful raids yesterday>died like 13 raids in a row to instant headshot>have a god-awful day at work>decide to do one raid>get insta headshot by this creatureYeah, nah, fuck this. It has taken me a total of 9 tries to plant that fucking letter for Therapist and not even once have I gotten even close to the fucking Terragroup building. I just keep getting brutally raped by turbo virgins like pic related.
>>579430621That's why PvE is better.
>>579431083PvE is a brain dead slog, sadly.
>>579431083This gigacope again?
>>579431083Not you again with your shitter cope.
>>579431204Yeah.......but it's a peaceful slog.
>>579431571It is, yeah. Too bad the AI doesn't really pose any real danger, so the game loses all the tension PvP normally has.If only this game's AI wasn't as bad as it is.
>>579430621>go into another GZ>BD>almost get killed by them, but somehow manage to kill all of them>forgot to place that fucking letter in the midst of all the carnage>extract with BD loot, but still made 0 progress with my tasksFUCK
>it's another episode of retard is spamming voicelines for the entire LH matchMaybe it would've been somewhat amusing if he actually switched things up and have a bunch of voicelines for whatever is currently going on during the game instead of just spamming F1 for 10 minutes, I have no idea how those subhumans find this "funny".
>>579428747>Pretty much a failure desu, 90% of all pvp kills are still headshots because even bad plate tank too muchIt's a failure because there's not actually a plate shortage, retard. You can even still print infinite 5 plates with your hideout alone.
Never ever.
>>579434518Is that a short-stroke gun or a chopped AKM with a bodykit?
>>579421496That actually worked.Now to buy a second one to get the circuit boards because those shits just aren't dropping despite my relentless searching of duffles and mil-tech spawns.
nothing makes me want to hurt myself and others like tasking on shoreline
>>579435323night raids on a dead server make them pretty painless
>>579435323It's even more fun when you get raped by black division in the open.
I always thought it would be cool if Partisan recruited a couple of his old army pals and became a BEAR-equivalent of the Goon Squad.
>>5794351466P67 KORD/ A 545, the finalized version of the AEK-971, with the fully functioning balanced recoil system.https://youtu.be/lJs9sBBjLlsHere's a video of the AK-107, that uses the same system, it's basically a counterweight that moves opposite to the action, reducing recoil.Nikita has been promising the 6P67 KORD for years now, but I guess a 5.45 gun with 900 RPM and almost no recoil is going to be very hard to balance.
>>579434469It doesnt matter retardYou still have plenty of gunfights where people tank 10+ bullets and when you finally kill them you find out they had t3 platesIt has little to do with availability of T5/6
>>579437107You are hitting them in the arms, stomach, legs, or using 12 pen ammo you shitter
Arigato, Ref-sama...I still don't have the fucking quest that gives me a THICC case in the real game.
>>579436146>it's basically a counterweight that moves opposite to the action, reducing recoil.So it's a total fucking meme just like the Kriss Vector. Which isn't to say it doesn't work, but people are not beating themselves up over the recoil of 9mm/.45acp/5.56/5.45.
1 tapped by big pipe award
>>579437628shh.. the crybabies will make Nikita delete it or gatekeep it behind some shitty quests like theta.
do you guys like to play with basic weapons? here is my ak104 build that i run almost every raid. all i've done to it was that i replaced the handguard with the rs47, slapped an eotech on top of the handrail and stuck a flashlight onto the side rail. it comes to about 80k with the gun included and i've been finding to be a pretty cool gun to use. i've took down loads of duos and trios with it.also this is a post for you to share your cheap gun builds that you like :^)
>>579438496the AEK-971 was first prototyped when both the americans and the soviets were trhying to increase the accuracy of the average soldier by over engineering rifles.The americans went the way of duplet rounds and flechette firing rifles, which never left the prototype stages, and the soviets created the AN-94 and the AEK-971, the AN-94 was briefly adopted until they realized it was too complex for the average grunt to maintain it and the AEK become a curiosity they would revisit from time to time.Later they would use the AEK as a basis for the 6P67/ A 545, the 6P68/ A 762, the AK-107 and the SR1 competition rifle.Ironically, for something that was developed to increase the accuracy of grunts, it's only used by special forces like groups within the VDV and the russian navy.
>>579439589You weren't though
>>579441129I just run a kedr. If some quest requires a gun then I'll use them. Have a standard account and gotta save money.
>cultists coming in clutch again
>>579448765I honestly feel nothing but irritation for having finally gotten this. I was at like 95% task completion for Kappa before they face fucked the requirements down from like 260 tasks down to just 13 and I just had no interest in trying to get Insomnia and The Guide solo in the limited time that I had, especially considering that labs was broken for The Guide for a while. I honestly wish they had left Kappa requirements as is, it's really not anything actually cool to get anymore and I think it was fine having such a difficult long term goal.
>>579441129Yeah, they're nice.>cheap gun builds that you likeSubmachine gun or .357 Deagle with an optic and a light from scav runs.
>>579449896i'm surprised someone actually uses the deagle. for me, it's an inaccurate piece of shit, and rate of fire is so important in this game that waiting for the sweet spot after firing so it becomes accurate again is just too risky in an actual fire fight. i think i'd actually use a kedr in place of that thing.
>>579450569In theory the deagle is good for one-shotting scavs with torso shots.In practice it takes two and it's pretty damn heavy for its capacity. It's really hard to justify over a 5-7 or Glock.
>>579450569I find them often enough in weapon boxes, and .357 FMJ doesn't seem too terrible. Also it feels means and it's a nice prop for playing dress-up, which is what truly matters.
does achievements in seasonal carry over to pvp after its over? e.g. if I do survivor ending in seasonal, do I get the achievement for perma pvp?
I still don't understand why certain items are blocked from going into kappa.
>>579456931Headgear and bodywear can't go in because... IDFK somebody probably complained about people shoving earpieces up their ass before dying or something.
>>579460505I guess I can understand plates, you don't want guys being able to stuff backup plates up their ass with room to spare, but headgear makes no fucking sense. It's not like people are bringing backup helmets.
>Mercenary, scour the Lighthouse territory (20 spawns) for a transmitter housing>After several attempts finally find the damn thing>It doesn't work>Mercenary, Scour the Lighthouse territory (20 different spawns, but all in the fucking WTP this time) and get the flash drive that'll make your transmitter workGod, the fucking Lightkeeper quest chain is dogshit. It's stuffed to the gills with filler.
>>579460971All of Lightkeeper's missions seem like they were designed around keeping faggot streamers busy with ridiculous nonsense during late-wipes while the game was still in beta. It's terrible that all the coolest stuff is locked behind bullshit that only people who wouldn't appreciate any of it would actually get through. I guess that's what's PVE is for, isn't it?
>>579460971>>579461529Aren't they reworking the lightkeeper line?
Is the game just literally programmed to spawn my scav next to KillaIs that just how it's made
>>579462919Yes
>>579463319Feels so good to get the drop on him and dome that bitch.
got forced onto eu servers (i think) because na servers kept timing out and holy shit is it aids. i went on streets and nearly got raped by a sweaty trio. thankfully i managed to shoot two through a door because their flashlights were showing and the last one i managed to kill normally. still not a pleasant experience. also it's not as fun because as everyone is a sweaty nigger, nobody voips back.
>>579467698VOIP is very rare here but I can't imagine it's any more or less 'sweaty' than NA, I guess you could try cycling through a couple languages you could string along a conversation in. OCE servers are a nightmare from what I've heard, the playerbase is small enough that everybody who isn't an AIDSfaggot sweatlord gets whittled away after the first few weeks of wipe.
>>579467698People still VOIP on burger servers? I haven't heard a word on VOIP in literally years (OCE/Asia)
>>579468186Yes, OCE is far and away the sweatiest, rattiest, absolute niggeriest server on the planet, no contest, enormous margin. It's an incredibly unpleasant experience and Australians should all be culled.
>>579468186>>579468380i don't get voips ALL the time, but it is way more of an occurrence on na. and from my experience, it does feel less sweaty than eu. you still get sweaty players, of course, but not as much as eu.
unless i never paid attention and only bought one, i think they just increased the amount of vog-25s you can buy from one to two.
they should make it so that in the hideout, it auto-buys stuff that is needed for crafting and automatically does the craft for you along with automatically putting whatever it crafted into your stash.
>>579469805Should it also hawk tuah on your thang and give it a little tug too?
>>579470081yes :)
>>579428916I wouldn't be surprised if they get added in an Icebreaker/Terminal tactical map like they did with Tagilla's AVS>>579431083Faggot
>>579470592Mad because I'm right.
>>579428916im more excited for the new arena battle pass than this seasonal and it's pretty much because of all the new stuff that i can dress my guy up in. that new gas mask looks awesome for starters.
>>579470969Yea, same. I like the clothing we got with the main pass and the new guns, but the rest of the pass is honestly pretty fucking shit. Considering the time or cost involved with unlocking the entire thing I was expecting more tangible things and not 15% of the pass being stupid fucking random gear crates or retarded shit like mannequin poses and targets. >that new gas mask looks awesome for starters.I'm really hoping there will be a smoked visor for it for peak dress up reasons, though I doubt it. Just getting the MSA mask is good enough though, and hopefully they keep the visor in mind when they do the overlay so it doesn't completely rape your FOV like the other masks.
>>579472630yeah it does kinda suck that the gas masks rape your vision. oh well. i don't really intend to wear them on any map other than streets anyways, so it's not that big of an issue. at least we have a cool gas mask that isn't complete fucking aids to unlock. and even when you unlock the m45 gas mask or whatever it is from the seasonal rewards, YOU STILL HAVE TO PAY IN BD DOGTAGS (er i think) WHICH IS STUPID. IN-FACT, THESE REWARDS SHOULDN'T REQUIRE BD TAGS AT ALL AND YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO BUY THEM WITH ROUBLES. and i will say that the battle pass is complete shit due to how grindy it is, too. it completely put me off from even completing a single seasonal quest as a result. the rewards are not worth it, at all.. they should just do what arena does. XP goes towards unlocking more levels in the battlepass. that system is fine.
https://x.com/ozisan2003/status/2094060684103536748Japanese Tarkov is just a different breed. I wish Western players actually liked and had fun with the game the same way.
>25 hits>3 kills>all headshotsSS190 is unbelievably trash
>>579473560>YOU STILL HAVE TO PAY IN BD DOGTAGS (er i think) WHICH IS STUPID. IN-FACT, THESE REWARDS SHOULDN'T REQUIRE BD TAGS AT ALL AND YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO BUY THEM WITH ROUBLES.I completely agree. It's stupid as fuck and I'm hoping they change it after the season is over, though I doubt it given that it costs BD tags even in permanent servers.
Killed two beefy juiced up niggers running bd gear and m995 and 7n40 buRRRRRRRRRPpppppp ahhhhh yup get in my belly
>still can't use cross-faction piggy clothing in the mode where it has absolutely zero gameplay impactNIKITAAAAAAat least the stupid fuck dark multicam piggy pants that don't match the upper they came with or anything else show up in arena now i guess
>>579474582>he wants the perks of being a trve believer without being a trve believer
would it be too much to ask for BSG to at least occasionally merge UI changes from eft to arena
>>579474731It took them a VERY long time to migrate even something like the clothing menu, I doubt there will be anything else despite there being a fair amount of objectively superior UI elements in arena.
>>579357113Which gpus better for tarkov specifically, 9070xt or 7900xtx?
>>579477092I have a 9070XT and it's fine, you really just need a high end CPU for this game, and Sadly i'm running it on a Ryzen 7 5800XT
>>579477092https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=huAarw2NfZ09070 XT, in offline scenarios the 7900 XTX has very minor raw frame rate advantages (like maybe 2%) but the 9070 XT has slightly better stability online.But pair it with a 9800X3D or woe be upon ye.
is this fire CAG bros????

>>579481340as much as I love the HHS I'm going to woods
>>579482037The HHS has to be tarkovs most broken optic ever, It had the old recoil to it for the longest time, they fix it, it has the wrong ranging, I guess that's why there's no other Hybrid sights after all this time

I am in my private domicile where BD can't hurt me, now I shall wait for something to happen and they move to the middle
>>579488521They still haven't fixed that? lmao
>>579488604Idk, knowing them probably not, I'll give you the answer if BD does come around this part, so far not a single fucking noise was made
>>579488717Surprising some mentally ill labsnigger hasn't rushed down to loot that room honestly.
>>579488805i'm ngl I think i'm alone.>>579488604yea it still works
Yea I was alone the whole raid, could've looted more stuff if I had keycards but I was there for the SSD so it's fine
>>579488805Plus BD being in labs kind of puts a halt on turboniggers that just play this map nonstop, they've definitely been humbled by just better trained Operators
>>579490085>Plus BD being in labs kind of puts a halt on turboniggers that just play this map nonstopFascinating, I mean I was expecting them to seethe about BD and being able to shut the power, but I was also expecting them to find ways to cheese through BDs. Maybe Labs is finally playable now? probably not
>>579490495Oh it's not BD that shuts the power down it's the players.But having BD be in labs instead of raiders is kind of a double edged blade cause the fags that no life this map can't just rush around freely so everyone just fucking camps, if you played during the blackout event it was just people camping certain rooms the entire game, and then Extract camping, which granted doesn't happen as much now given all of them are avaliable, but the playstyle of labs at least during this season is completely static beacause of the evil men in black.
>the loose ammo splitting bug still works after so fucking longman
Does the document transit bug still work?
I don't... i don't think that's supposed to go there.
>>579491698>OlightThis might actually be intentional.
>>579415570That room is fucking money. If you can get it for less than 1mil grab it. It will pay itself off in under ten uses.
>>579492267I would be more impressed if it blocked the nade from leaving the tube, but it just fires normally. Also the square ones fit in there as well.
PVE ai is pretty impressive, they continuously run to the mysterious pile of bodies just like real players

>>579496071You can't transfer them between playlists.
>>579496071nah, I did everything in seasonal. picked what I could on pmc raids, and scavved for specific documents at the end of the days to get close to the daily limit
>>579495812Great work, I'm sitting at like 13 because I almost exclusively play Factory, so I have to 5:1 for anything that isn't Blueprints or Project docs

>>579496362>I almost exclusively play FactoryWith every post you make you show new signs of mental illness.
>>579501837He's on pve, factory is probably pretty comfy when the only thing you have to fear is Tagilla and he has an easy exploit.
why am i such a retarded nigger and decide to repeek wedges guard after he tanked a hit to his helmet all this after a near flawless run until that point
>>579502240Bring some stupid bullshit ammo and blindfire magdump the moment you hear them exiting cover. Or don't. That does sound fun tho, doesn't it.
>>579500140I just don't really like going to most other maps unless I either have to or want something specific. Only reason I've been running into Reshala lately was using up a 3story dorms marked key. I found a bunch of spawns for docs on Factory already so if I can kill Tagilla I just like to rotate for them.>>579501837Factory is cool as shit, small, easy to navigate, and is a bloodbath so I can pick up a bunch of vendor trash or okayish ammo off the PMCai pretty fast. Earlier got one of the Bear AI that had 4 20-rounders full of BS for whatever reason.>>579502012I've been trying to get better at killing Tagilla without the office window exploit, but he's so fucking scary. Just now I took him out nearby because he was just crouched on the stairs, hit him in the arm twice with 7.62x54 and he started healing, so I just rushed in and headshot him twice. Currently using t-46m bullets.

>>579506689Im convinced that this game never fucking unloads anything from memory after its loaded including entire maps.
>>579514407yeah absolutelyI reboot my game every time I visit hideout and every few raids, especially if I play streets
What the fuck did I make these thousands of AP 6.3 forThis shit couldn't kill a malnourished kitten
>>579515308AP 6.3 i funny because, it cant penetrate any real armor yet if you go for headshots it does worse than most of the other 9mm ammo, theres no winning.
>>579473574I absolutely adore Japanese Tarkov twitter. Truly sovlfvl shit.
>>579504397Bro you could run Streets and not even go to where the bosses spawn and make out better. This is a pathetic "Haul" where most of your loot items are dogshit garbage.NPC PMC guns are almost never worth taking. Other loot that's never worth taking are MRE's, Helmets that aren't the Flux, Airframe, or FAST MT.Lion is really heavy but not actually valuable for its 2x3 size. Neither is the Chainlet or a shitty common key like the Power cabinet.Looting meds is whatever. I find it convenient to just have a stash of spares instead of having to shop.Moreover, I've seen a screenshot of your stash. You have hundreds of millions of rubles. How the fuck are you still this bad at loot priority?
>>579509620He's a nigger that hides in bushes.His guards are almost as bad.At this point I never feel confident fighting him without a thermal.
>>579515626It's so incredibly frustratingly worthless, it can't even black a leg in one hit so it doesn't have any utility at all and even the shittiest helmets will consistently bounce it. Even level 2 fireman bullshit on scavs has been bouncing it. Absolutely worthless piece of shit round and you literally may as well just use whatever flesh rounds you can get instead. It even has a shitty velocity compared to Pst or Luger CCI.

>>579518945Arigato, anon.
i thought they removed crafts that let you use one plate to get two. this craft is incredibly cheap and you can get infinite top tier level 5 plates
neat
>>579521547i thought they removed craft rigs having plates in them, was that just misinfo i heard from somewhere else?
>>579521547The rig itself is total trash.
>>579522727must be, you get two gac plates for one. So in theory, you have a tier 5 plate farm every 2 hours.
>>579522853what's wrong with it? its super light, it comes with two of the best plates in tier 5 and it has aramid level 3.
>>579523003Isn't it one that has massive coverage gaps? I think it only has plate-area coverage. No sides, no neck (though that's common with western PC's and armored rigs in general)
>>579515626>>579518172The weird thing is that 9x21 is better and costs only a third of what 9x19 does. Why did they even nerf 9x19 so much? Because of the vektor boogieman? I've never even seen anyone run it.
>>579522853Who gives a fuck, retard? You're doing that craft for the free plate.
>>579523227I'm pretty sure coverage gaps got fixed some time ago because streamers weren't invincible.
i think the method to significantly reduce rats is to restrict ammo to level 3/4 only and make level 5/6 armor a lot more common. the ttk in this game is way too high.
>>579523227Replying to myself here. It only has Thorax and upper back coverage without plates. With plates, it would have the plate areas. Sides are completely open.Seems good only if you aren't planning on getting in protracted gunfights or getting close to other PMC's or bosses. A scav with an unfortunate buckshot spread could fuck your shit up.>>579523332Once upon a time 9x21 was the worst pistol round in the game because it did nothing well. It was too expensive while not offering better performance than 9x19 and was restricted to two guns. At least 9x18 was cheap, plentiful, and could be sprayed out of dirt-cheap SMG's and the Sketchkin.
>>579523801that wouldn't reduce ratting one bit
>>579523801sorry, meant to say *low*. got my words mixed up.
How awful, thanks for ruining my favorite map BSG
>>579495812Nice, I'm only missing 12 documents for the beaten up BEAR, after that it's only crates.
>>579525658But consider how many people trying to get into the chalet you'll be able to snipe from the lighthouse island...
>>579525658i don't mind this. however the map will still be fucking terrible if there are any spawns on the beach side. that shit has always been awful.>>579525978nice to see that the axmc can one shot bodies from that distance. i've always hated in this game that you can't one shot people in the chest with snipers even though that's literally what snipers do irl.
>>579526161>nice to see that the axmc can one shot bodies from that distanceDepends on the armor, anything that's class 5 + class 3 soft is enough to stop .338 FMJ from one shotting thorax. It's dumb and I hate it. I can somewhat understand class 6 being able to stop it, but FMJ should go through class 5 without any trouble.
>>579525658> favouritelighthouse is least played map, so your taste is dog shit.
>>579523801That'll only make ratting worse. If you have shit ammo you HAVE to get the drop on your target. Ratting isn't a problem anyways. Those who complain about it usually shift+w across the map and then bitch when someone held an angle on them.
>>579526427>It's dumb and I hate it. I can somewhat understand class 6 being able to stop it, but FMJ should go through class 5 without any trouble.The less instant one shot bullshit this game has, the better.
Okay, but seriously, what's the play here? Spamming night raids on dead servers? Finding and killing them is already tedious enough, why do I have to wear their dumb fucking rigs? What a stupid fucking quest. Might as well mindlessly spam Icebreaker for rigs and tags and wait for a 100% spawn event.Where am I even supposed to look for them? I know they roam around the map, but do they have any specific areas where they like to hang out?
>>579525978i thought the rule was no gunfire on the island or zrachiy will rape you to death and ban you from re-entry
>>579531841This only applies to killing players who are on the island. Even if you are not on the island, you are not allowed to kill the player on the island or else your transmitter will get decoded lmao.Though I'm not sure if that's the case if you don't have the transmitter on you at the time you kill the island player.
So, how do I git gud at high-level GZ? It always feels like the best way to play is to quickly skedaddle to an overlook position and then just camp your ass off. Especially when tasking this is super evident, since moving through the map early on just makes you a delicious target for all the people camping inside the buildings. Even the underground part feels like there's someone always just ratting there, waiting for someone to go by.
>>579532382That's the neat partThere is no gitting gud at that map other than being an aimgodIt's a rat paradise because it has so many corners and dead ends to check and doesn't have space to maneuver or bypass rat hangouts
>>579532382Because the only real tasks that people have on high level GZ are PMC kill tasks, the only thing people are there for is for kills. Unfortunately this leads to everyone holding disgusting angles waiting for a retard to walk in front of them, or absolutely miserable cqc room clearing. You gotta learn those angles so you can clear them and use them yourself. GZ would theoretically be a great PvP map, but you're incentivized to rat due to the nature of your tasks. I think it would be more fun if it had way more verticality, personally.

>>579525658Concentrating the rogues in a nook in the center of the map instead of one of its extreme ends could be a good thing. But it remains to be seen how far from the chalet they can shoot us.

>>579538543Oh god no I'm not trying to sell you on it, I'm just explaining why I get excited to see them.

It's like how I'll use the HK over the M4 purely for the extra firerate, or the UziPro, etc. I like guns that go BRRR.Here's some of the crap I keep in my Thicc weapon's cases, I even let people on stream give me edgy names for them back when I was making the builds
>>579538647he's a huge fag but recoil has been so thoroughly raped that you have to use metaslop if you want to actually use full auto

>>579539189>recoil has been so thoroughly raped that you have to use metaslop if you want to actually use full autoLiterally the opposite has happened with recoil in this game, but whatever bro.
>>579539286Clothing is the only acceptable thing to spend TarCoins on (except for OG clothing that can be bought with roubles), buying anything else immediately and permanently makes you a fag.
>>579539447>>there's a fucking toz with a holo on it>>it's enhanced so he repaired itDangerously based, to be honest.
>>579539152>.50 cal AK Sniper meme weapon>Big Boomer>x1-x4 scope on it
>>579539189You are a complete retard shitter. Even with the recent change (that I hate) that made recoil a bit more bouncy again recoil is still extremely manageable on lightly modded guns, and you should be burst or tap firing at medium to long ranges anyway. Just because you can't hold m1 at 80 meters like a brainless nigger anymore doesn't mean the recoil has been raped.
>>579539460>every gun rockets straight to the moon now except for the latest AR until the next one gets released and the previous one gets nerfedIt's cool if you just started playing though hope you're having fun!

Killed 4 Raiders hanging out by blue elevator with less than 10 minutes left to extract.
>>579542930>lab runOh I gotta see the "haul" on this.
>>579542930>too scared>700 (seven hundred) million roubles
>>579542656Literally everyone I see has bought EOD or Unheard edition, Nikita Buyanov has already won
>>579543261>letting him win even more
>>579543235Hey I ain't MADE of money, I don't even get that stuff back!>>579543165It wasn't really an interesting one. Spawned Redside, did Red/Violet, then went through underground toward the "gym" area? Got to blueside, did Black and Residential, had a super scary spawn thing happen to me >go into residential area>close the big blue door behind me>check the office for the keycard/ammo>check near residential for the keycard>turn on the power switch>go into the rooms to loot>in the second office>hear someone turn>go back>guy standing in the original office i just looted>gun him down>big blue door is still shutRest of the raid was just going downstairs, killing 4 raiders in one corridor, then leaving
>>579540540Yea the aug had unnaturally low recoil for whatever reason. It's a little bouncy now but it's perfectly manageable and still a very solid gun. I just wish they'd give us the front mlok rail for it instead of that ugly corvus thing.
>>579543684>Another Lion
Is there a particular reason why several AR-15 handguards are not usable with certain upper receivers or are they just retarded?
>spawn in on woods>shot immediatelyI wish I just died right there so I've had like :05 raid time, what the fuck is this
>>579543919I'm a lucky fella, even if I did reach about 60kg so I didn't regen stamina while walking near the end
>>579544051Pic didn't attach, whatever, it was goons
>>579544051>>579544191Did you spawn need the tower or something? I can't think of anywhere else they'd be that would let them shoot you off spawn.
>>579544286Can't really tell anymore. I need to start doing background recording, but it demolishes my shitty pc
>>579543967It's usually the barrel that causes incompatibilities.That said, non-milspec (I.E. anything that's not the ADAR, MUR-1S, or M4 upper) can have issues with the DD RAS II (or III) handguards because the non-milspec uppers don't have the clearance for the RAS II's locking rings.It shouldn't matter unless you really really want to mount a M203. Just use a different handguard.
>>579543261i can't speak for anyone else but i'll never give them another cent after they raped the AS VAL, and then recoil>requested a refund when they announced unheard>returned to see the ingame purchase bullshit and just laughedyou're a dumbass if you give these niggers money
I didn't even shoot a bullet??
>>579546452retard
>>579546535>paypiggy upset i called him a dumbassgood chat
>>579546452The AS Val is fine and recoil is in a good place. Are you, for some strange reason, upset that recoil isn't the visual abortion that it was for years? Don't tell me you're one of those stupid fucks who thinks that it was a good thing that guns were unusable dogshit without running the same handful of meta parts.
What!!!!! paying with money!!!!!?????
>paying for slightly different looking pixels
please WG pease...i just need an automatic rifle to use my 7.62x54 with...one that's not an ancient ww2 unwieldy club...please bg i have so many rounds that need to be used im begging you
Haven't paid a penny, this is the easiest shit. Just do a scav run 2 or 3 times a day and collect like 8-10 per raid.
>>579544286Alright, yeah, it was the spawn right near the tower. Ridiculous.
>>579544084>>579543684If you go from Black room out into the main floor and make a left, you'll find the dome. There's a small standalone corridor that leads right to the laptop.
>>579543684When you streaming bro?
>>579543684start streaming pvp, fag
>>579547780BG*
>>579547791Figured as much. If you spawn near blue fence on shoreline and the goons are at weather they can kill you before you even finish loading in if you're unlucky.

Went right, couldn't find anything, then went left and found it, then just ran back and did Green, Black, Blue, and Residential. I swear Residential hates me right now, haven't found much more than a Lion there each run and sometimes a gold egg.
>>579548746>>pvp>but all I'll do is DIE! then I'll have NOTHINGJust start ratting or camping. That is cozy stream content.

>>579548809I get real antsy when I play pvp since even when I get the drop on people I just die to them anyway lmaoI could probably count the amount of real players I've killed on one hand (not counting the original wipe I played where I eventually made it to where I am now by just using Veprs and Saigas)>>579548814Always, food is the true key to my heart, it's why I started cooking>>579549402Well, obviously they're on lab, but there's that one Reserve building with the staircase into the basement with a lot of meds in random rooms and Factory has the med tent/medroom on it. looks like I'm up about 5.5 million rubles since >>579537724my 'extra money' money case is almost full and I have nowhere to put it.
>>579550132>all those armor repair kits>FiRFuck you.
>>579549414Don't pretend that you do. Visual recoil is an abomination and objectively inferior to the current system. Kill yourself.
>>579551306visual recoil was only a problem with shotgunsrealistic recoil was great and would (probably) be fine with jamsno you, dumb faggot
>>579551991>this nigger thinks visual recoil was realistic
>realistic recoil was when the entire thing was broken
>>579550361There's 1 spot in factory and 2 spots on customs that I know can spawn them so I always check
>>579552309>gun jumping around side to side is bettersuck a dick
>>579553565You very clearly don't remember what visual recoil looks like and haven't played the game in years.
>>579553632i only remember the saiga12 knocking your head backthen in ~2020 they fucked with recoil because faggots who played other games complained it wasn't random enough
>>579539974mk 17
I guarantee right now there's not a matching upper for these. I do like getting new stuff, but holy shit I hate how NOTHING fucking matches in this game.
what guns are they adding for arena season 3?
>>579555857P90
>convert 15 documents into the ones i need>get the BD boxI think the only good one of these I ever got was the first one with some big armor thing. Do these dogtags do anything or do I just vendor them?
>>579557121you trade them for various things on the traders
>>579557307Oh shit, thanks! I don't know what Black Division is, but I always appreciate free treasure.
>>579557580Special new enemy AI, they don't spawn on pve so you can't see them since Icebreaker/Terminal aren't available on pve and they don't appear on the other maps outside of seasonal.
>>579554859With ill luck, the Arena-unlocked ABUPAT Strandhogg rig won't even match it in shade or hue
>>579559161>Icebreaker isn't available in pveYes it is.>they don't spawn on pveYes they do. You can even get them to spawn rarely by initiating the blackout on pve Lab.
>>579562317How do you do that?
>>579562871You need the 1-use key and to open the room across from Black. Google Blackout Lab Tarkov and you'll find several videos of it being done.
>>579563004This event ended already, anon.

>>579574597It totally does. A couple weeks ago he beelined out to me and killed my ass outside the mall.
>Spawncamped by the goon squad when I could've had literally any other spawn and been better offVery cool! Serves me right for wanting to night raid I guess.
do you need to vary cultist circle items like crafts or can i just keep feeding them grenade cases forever
>>579580812Why the fuck are you using grenade cases instead of the g28
>>579580991less clicks and it saves me from having to figure out what to do with my used fuel tanks lolplus it's a long craft I can let cook overnight for more crafting xp
type 20 is cool but did they really ONLY procure it with the 13 inch barrel wtfalso if we are getting japslop when the fuck are we getting czechslop or all the other euro ar-18 knockoffs
>>579582105how about before anything else we get a 762x54 automatic rifle
>>579582105G11 will come before anything real
>>579582463uhhh your AVT-40 bro??are there even any x54r autos except for heavy ass MGs (kinda useless in t*rkov) or meme experimental ww2slop before everyone figured out it was a kinda bad ideathere's the AVS-36 but that's basically identical to the AVT-40 for gameplay purposesI think at some point there was a select fire SVU maybe? idk if that ever made it further than prototypes but I guess they could at least add the regular SVU
>>579583362okay apparently this fucking thing exists/existed lmao
>>579583516>>579583362There's no good platform for the 54 despite it being a good round. What am I going to do with all this SNB i looted from Shturman and Kaban? The SVDS has twice the recoil as the RSASS. What a lost opportunity.
>>579583516needs a dong grip
>>579583860could add this awful shit to go with the AK-12 I guess, still semi only but more epic operator rails for plastic bullshit than the SVD
just remembered that the 590A1 and M870 are different guns...
>>579584516It'd be nice to at least be able to get the SVD to have comparable recoil to an M1A
can't believe we still don't have the most iconic horrible russian bullshit in tarkov
veterinary tools when?
>>579585134I want the ots-14 already. It was promised to me 3000 years ago.
How advanced is sains ai these days? Is it engaging to play against?
>one million guns cluttering my stash>can't use any of them because I'm too autistic to shoot scavs with anything cheaper than M80/SOST/AP 6.3 and I don't have enough ammo stockpiled or traders unlocked for any of them
waow more ugly bullshit to scroll through in my clothing listcan I get a decline here nikita I just want the fucking GP
is this a good sidearm bros
>>579581240That's retarded and extremely inefficient.
>>579587854what else am I supposed to do with my infinite pve rubles
>>579587914Stop playing pve
>>579587456just because you can put attachments on glocks doesn't actually mean you have to
>>579587456>stock on a 17>acro on a stupid forward mount instead of a slide mount>acro in the first place instead of an rmr or sroYou're trying to piss me off, aren't you?
>>579588543I'll lock in and go back to season at some point, but kinda having fun doing story bullshit + using mildly above scav tier gear that I never do in pvp + chilling the fuck out and actually looking around the maps and using flashlights and enjoying some Immersion and Atmospherealso kinda nice being able to play while absolutely retarded from sleep deprivation and only die instantly like every other raid lmao
>kill kaban>check his body>no key>pkp at 80% condition>he's using fmjwhy do i bother
why are you not allowed to drag rubles or goypoints directly from a transfer window onto a container and either have to first drop them in stash and drop them in or open the container and drag them in manuallywhat's the reasoning for this Game Mechanic nikita
>>579589412because if you drag it over it'll fill the 1 mil stack it needs to then you have to send the rest again, same with CP coins
>>579587301I want these ones because short sleeves are neon beacons with how ridiculously flourescent Aryan these PMCs are
>>579589686The Nocturnal BD upper, you can see the wrists of your dude and he is whiter than a boo
Wtf. 4 in one room.
where the fuck can you find adrenaline injectors for FiR bullshithaven't been able to find a single one checking med bags or the medical camps on interchange/factory/gz, should I just be killing scavs and praying or do I need to go to fucking labs or something
>>579590275I got mine hitting medcases and medbags on streets + icebreaker.
>Just killed another Pscav and stole 8 extra documents
what the fuck is the point of SJ9 when thermals are already RAPED and useless
Eh lets try this retarded quests
what the fuck happened to factory? where are all the half-naked retards running around? why are all my lobbies filled with kitted out giganiggers? go play fucking labs or something jeez
>>579591030Based. I haven't had the opportunity to kill a pscav for his documents yet, but I'll be taking it the first chance i get. I've also considered ratting scav extracts when I'm close to my daily limit, but I haven't thought about the best places on each map to do that yet.
???? I have level 3 shitter and power on ???? what did nikita mean by this
>>579593487you need workbench i think
>>579593538I have level 3 workbench too, but that says it's only needed for weapon repairsrestarted the client and now it works so I guess just nikitas shit ass niggger dick piss servers desyncing hideout AGAIN
>handed in refs quest for the theta>no thetalyol!
>>579594039oh nvm then
brehsdo I accept Drip-Out or is it still circle poison
what are good armor plates for someone getting into armor plates
>>579595017Circle poison dont do it
>>579595347I guess 3s15m is the best lightweight one, time to do ragmans fucking bullshit so I can craft them
>>579595347Anything 4 and above, if you have ceramic plates, they're the shittiest since they take more dmg and don't repair, anything from armor steel combined materials and the Ultra high bla bla bla are good, now you just have to pick if you want heavy or light plates, my go to plate is Monoclete PE, which I drop if I kill someone with better plates that are compatible with my rig
>>5795955054sss2 is the best light plate ackshually
>>5795956532.7kg is HEAVY I don't care what the game says... think of all the car batteries I could carry with that instead
Scavving in on Customs. You better extract fast if you know what's good for you.
>peek a corner>see PMC>already behind cover>deadLike everything bad happens when you go out to do setup I rather be hunting BD with a bowie knife instead of this fuck ass quest
>figure i can do one more run without replacing my plate. 39 is still pretty durable, right?>die to a torso shot from a sub-level 5 pen round after my first firefight
Fuck it i'm not using shotguns for setup again
>>579595974that's a thermal scope wtf
>>579595017When you accept it, set aside a while to actually do it so it doesn't murder your circle. Mine is done except for 46 rogues, but I haven't been to Lighthouse in ages.
>>579596585There are 20 rogues inside the icebreaker friend
>>579596632Icebreaker doesn't do insurance, does it?
>>579596585It's not even rogues now, I just checked, it's Raiders good fucking luck running reserve 24/7
>>579596430>Fuck it i'm not using shotguns for setup againYou don't have to. You can use an SKS or PPSh.PPSh is unironically a good choice since you can just leg meta people. Nothing involved with using it is expensive or hard to get.
>>579596756Oh yeah, Rogues is part 2, that one's a lot easier since you can just go to Lab

is there any gameplay reason to actually use gas masks other than teammates fucking with youis there a boss that uses the gas grenades or something
level 18, started late and been playing sparingly.is it just me, or is it borderline impossible to kill kaban without one of the following scenarios occuring:>his snipers actually do their job and onetap you>black division greets you at the entrance to the dealership>he doesn't spawn at all>he dies before you can even get there>he dies within 30 seconds of the raid so your spawn near the dealership doesn't matterlike I have been trying to kill this fat faggot for the past 30 raids to just get my jaeger quests to move forward but it feels completely impossible. this isn't even taking into account my ammo is dogshit because I'm still stuck on LL2 traders and the only decent ammo I can use as a generalist round is T45M-1.Should I just be chucking nades over the dealership gates until something happens? Do I just ignore this quest and do the rest of Jaegers LL2 quests? What is there even to fucking do about this annoying fucking shithead and his army of juiced niggers?and don't even fucking get me started on the fact every boss/guard seems to STILL throw out triple bullets per shot, something that hasn't been fucking fixed since 2019

>>579605348HUGE warning, newfag. Elite Health says "Damage absorption" but it doesn't actually do anything and was never implemented.
>>579605282You can kill him from the apartments above tarbank without entering lexos. There's like 4 different apartments each with at least 2 windows giving angles into lexos. You can even kill the guard on the machine gun from one of them. I wouldn't recommend trying to kill him without a 70+ damage round, so either 7.62x51 or maybe .366 if you wanna do it budget.
>>579605219Yes, Wedge. BD can also use them.
what a beautiful day for a relaxing walk across reserve
injector case holy god FINALLY
can I use an item as a tool for crafting without stripping FiR or should I just buy another from flea to use
>>579605282They really hate nades, so you can throw them and run inside safely behind some cover and start clearing the place, or you might even get Kaban just about alone like in the webm>>579605614This spot is great and is exactly what I did before I got comfortable with the boss. I had his guards push me there once, but besides that, the building is very safe
7.9k hour fellow pscav walks up and headshots me while looting a dead scav, didn't have any documents if that's what he was after. Whatever
>>579608601The season ends in 90 days, scav karma aint all that important
why the hell can't you list the AVT-40 on fleais this REALLY such an overpowered elite endgame gun guys
Prestige 2 Level 33 went into Night Factory with absolutely nothing. I did kill him but he was wheezing from a scav already. I'd like Night Factory raids like that, instead of running into dudes with rifles holding angles and PScav armies, but those can be fun too.
the marksman 3x3 and its goofy ass autofocus reticle is starting to grow on me boysshame it doesn't have a reflex mount on the top, but oh well we already have a bunch of those so I guess it gives a bit of variety
>>579611772Well now he's got a Defender and quad NVGs so maybe he bugged out somehow. Hope he's not queueing right now.
>>579611773I like it, just wish canteds didn't feel so shit to use

should I be uh concerned when there's a flashlight shining through the ceiling and tracking me???

>>579614295maybe i'm being racist here but I kinda feel like if you can set up the fucking fallout 4 lighting system to not shine muzzle flashes and other lights through walls and ceilings nikita probably should be able to figure it out in unity too
gooners aieeed me
what the hell was even going down up at the lighthouse chalets
nikita add some labs map for arena you coward
I really hate having quests to go somewhere and mark something in a spot that will get me killed. I have a hard time convincing myself not to naked run it but that feels like shit when I should be wearing decent shit every raid no matter what.
>>579618810Literally next season
>when you kill a fucking JUICED pmc as a scav but you didn't even realizeFUCK
>head, face>from behind>long after he audibly stopped shootingWhat the fuck is wrong with this stupid fucking game
>>579620536This happens to me constantly as a scav and pmc, I never really pay much attention when shooting at someone in a fight, so I never know if I killed them unless I'm using a scope.
Elite Metabolism gang, what you bring for snack and drink?
>>579622186one ratcola or energy drink
>>579622186sugar and half of the water bottle. Or just juice
>>579622186Ratcola
I am getting RAPED on lighthouse tonight and I am NOT happy about it!
this has genuinely been one of my worst fucking wipes so far, I feel like armor means literally nothing vs other pmc's since its either facetaps or everyone is running 40+ pen constantly. a lot of fucking fights just devolve into who's willing to sit still for longer and the fights that involve actual movement mean nothing because half of the time it feels like footsteps are literally 100% muted with some people.I know its probably due to a learning curve after not playing since they got rid of the original plate system, but holy fuck man even woods feels like i'm being hunted when it hasn't in previous wipes.
>>579624667stop playing lighthouse. I prefer labs than that boring, sweaty sniper map.
>>579625691but then I would have to go play my one trillion quests on streets :((((

Made it to Factory with the Secrets of Polikhim case again and it spawns me literally right next to a duo doing some boosting bullshit with a flashbang KS-23 and MXLR. Fucking okay dude

elo anons, you can visit the lightkeeper island with slight differences to the 1.0 mine setup.I tried about 40 times died to the same mine 4 times and realized its not me. bring a human sacrifice for the tank trap mine at the end and you can get the archievement
>>579630883I'm not mentally ill enough for this.
pill me on not eating shit at lighthouse water treatmenti'm scared :(((
>>579633048What are you dying to? Rogues or pmcs?
>>579633048Just wait until the Rogues get evicted this month.But real talk Rogues are pretty braindead nowaydays, just snipe the ones on the MGs and you're good.
>>579633446>Just wait until the Rogues get evicted this month.They're not being evicted so much as moving back into the Chalets. Frankly I think they should be in both because they're supposed to have taken over the whole map anyway.
>>579634495yeah, they should increase Rogues spawns. Make BD roams there also. Make combats happen often and all over the map. I don't know why BSG is so retarded and make every raid a snorefest. Are they afraid that people will farm these bots and become overpowered / rich when the season hasn't ended? my god.
>>579634684The game genuinely shits itself if there's too many AI on the map. There's been a noticeably lower amount of scavs and other AI in raids since 1.0.
>>579622186You bring stuff? I just procure on site, feels more like Metal Gear that wayUsed to do that with meds until I spawned too close to The Goons one too many times
Player scavs can't loot the scav camp for shit dude
Terminal sucks so hard I can't believe it.
how do I get arena to match me with the absolute worst players on the entire fucking planet so I can finish my stupid piss MVP task
