>>581139681>Exotic shotguns of TarkovBut they'll ever add the most exotic one of all, the RMB-93, and it's even rarer, underbarrel variation for use with the 91-A1 and the VSK.
>50 TarCoins away from the stash expansion that would literally save my life right nowMotherfucker ('д`) Can't even pay up because I keep my phone turned off and now I have to unsuspend my bank account in-person. I didn't have to kill that guy, maybe he would've fucked off after a couple minutes...
>>581140787
>>581140884I didn't do anything illegal or against their ToS, I think it's just some EU mandated bullshit because apparently there wasn't enough ZOG psychoterror in my life.
so what's the deal with ranking?can you only move up 1 tier per week?would it be smart to get 0 xp on your first raid so you place with shitters?the rewards seem kinda bunk, even the last tier are just reskinned clothes
So when the fuck is the arena update? They did a 2x exp on the 11th so maybe this friday? I wish these assholes were better about giving people actual time frames instead of just saying soon™ and letting that ride. I do like that they're making BG a total CS ripoff instead of half of one though, should've done that from the start.
>>581141864>can you only move up 1 tier per week?yes>would it be smart to get 0 xp on your first raid so you place with shitters?afaik doesn't matter in the slightest
I wish you could force NPC scavs to donate their gear if your fence rep is high enough. Sick of spawning in with no backpack.
i have too god damn many guns in my stash fucking HELP
>>581147179just sell them to mechanic
>>581147271nooooo MY POTENTIAL RUBLES
>>581147179buy more weapon cases
>Two grenade launchers and one attachment use the 40x43mm NATO grenades>only a single attachment uses the 40x53mm russian grenadeTime to add the RG-6, Nikita.
Lost your gear, muskateer?
>>581147179keep the best one from each category and sell the rest. you have to let go.
>>581147179Are you even playing the game if you don't have dozens of guns rotting in your stash? There's more guns sitting around in various parts of my stash, plus the gun rack, plus my mannequins. This shit is why I hate tasks that force me to use a specific weapon or caliber though, because you end up stacking up a million guns that you don't have the chance to use for months.
>>581147987i just wish that grenade launchers were more common and easier to buy. all the gorgeous looking grenade launchers they've added, including the rotary one, and it's unobtainable unless you waste hours of your life hunting the goons and even the guy who drops it doesn't have a high chance to spawn it either. it would be awesome to just buy these things and use them. i don't care if it would make the game unfair or whatever. i'd prefer it that way. let me use everything.
where the goddamn fuck do I find sniper scavs on streets
>>581150945over by beluga
>>581150945The most consistent place is on top of the mall.
is there a point to this thing?
>>581151707thats your rank, you can check on the battlepass for the leaderboards and see the reawrds for going up in the leagues
>>581151807He meant the item you get itself. Maybe you can put it in your Hideout or something IDK. Otherwise, I guess you can keep it locked at the top of your stash to show off if you're a YouTuber or streamer or something. Lol.
>>581153342apparently you can put it in your hideout poster slots
>running a pistol around streets>encounter the black Division>line up a shot to the head to one of them>nothing happens (70hp dome lmao)>circle into a house and prep for them coming in>unload into one and get him yay>second one comes in and I reposition around this door>the door is in a tricky place so he cant pass without closing it first>he closes it, I see his head peek thru the wall, unload and run away, he fucking kills me, as I'm dying on the floor I hear the door get kicked openlmao, they have to fix the wall phasing sometime
>>581149852You'd think that until it actually became commonplace and started being used against you. "Nuh-uh, I'd totally love it." No, you wouldn't.
you should be able to put alyonkas in doc casesthey would fit
As a new player, I already hate PvEfags.
>>581157279
fuck you!!!!!!!!
Never ever.
>>581158851>Kord breach season>Refuse to add the kordThey're not clever at all
guess who just MIA'd trying to find the stylobate elevator on the wrong floor???
>>581156974you'd be wrong. i'd love it. they could just make these GLs cost like 300k-1m and they'd be perfectly balanced. it's kind of like the rpg that's in the game now. similar price and you rarely see it. at least you can actually obtain it, though.
I wish levelling up skills was faster. Trying to get to level 10 strength so I can finally prestige to prestige 3 and it's taking quite a while..
>game stuck on raid end screen>batttleye will bsod me if I close the gametime for another restart boys
>>581159992nvm if I kill the process it doesn't bsod, only closing the game normally does it lol
Does the GP-25 count for Setup, if it's on a vepr?
>>581160347nyet
>>581160570Ok at least I wont waste a gp on it then, but on another note, why are all 7.62x39 guns in game shit? the only good one is the RPD, why is this caliber just filled with shit guns?
>thinking about how Glukhar is on Lighthouse>realize suddenly that all danger on Reserve is basically gone unless I intentionally summon Raiders (I won't)>Remember Party City (underground bunker) and how much I miss my old loot hole from PvP years ago >decide to goI think it was worth it, the Superwater was on the only scav down there I found. Shit's so comfy on Reserve when I don't have to be terrified of the sugar squad coming out of nowhere and putting me in the gas chamber.
>>581160962i should probably be making use of the no glukhar thing myself to get some of my reserve quests done but i think i'm just gonna keep sitting on my ass doing nothing all week
>>581161797It makes for a significantly comfier raid, would recommend it wholly, as well as sitting on your ass! >>581159978>no tank battery in his assngmi
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KawZIQ1zycoDid they ever change this or do the GP-25 sights straight up not align with any of their sighting ranges?
>>581162039No, lol. The standard configuration for the GP-25 is the rat cannon or using a laser to aim, because that's more reliable than fucking around with the broken sight.
I have a ton of the FMJ Rounds for the SPEAR, is it worth using? 80 Damage, 36 pen.
>>581162384They're not the worst, but they're also the only option you really have because hybrid is only obtainable after finishing every task that lightkeeper has.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GcbkAjSoPn0Welcome back, CS 1.6.
>horde gear for weeks >decide to stop running mosin and actual sets>spend 2 weeks dying constantly with 350k sets>go back to mosin runningi honestly have no clue why I'm so good with mosin but the second you give me a kitted out meta gun I can't land a fuckin shot and I get shit stomped by every mother fucker in the game. I think I play too passive with it maybe but with my mosin I'm basically sprinting at people constantly.
Is there any difference between the 74U and the 74UN from Prapor except a different name on the grip and the fact that one costs almost 15k extra? They're so identical that I feel like there must be some trick.
>>581149852Ideally that's what PvE would be for, letting you use the toys that would be too frustrating to be easily obtainable in the base game,
>>581164675The N designation is for when a rifle has a dovetail mount. The description on any of the N pattern rifles would have told you as much.
>>581160962>Reserve>with no boss>almost no ammo
>>581164675I don't really remember, but I think basically you can slap some dovetail sights on UN without changing dust cover and that's basically it. Maybe use some Soviet silencer as well. So it's pretty much a scam
>>581164675You were supposed to get curious enough about the AK and AK-adjacent platforms' designations to learn them all by heart after playing Stalker Shadow of Chernobyl for the first time. Tsk tsk tsk.
>playing as factory scav>tagilla still alive>he starts running around>books it past me, aggros, then turns around and shoots me in the backwhy is he like this
>>581165016Honestly the only place I ever used to get ammo from Reserve was the Pawn buildings, I don't actually know any kind of ammo run locations. Now that I'm in 'money overflow' I've been just buying even expensive bullets since I have nowhere to put the cash.
Is the rd-704 the worst of the 7.62x39 guns?
>>581166112Not even close, it's actually one of the best.
>>581166318that doesn't really mean much when they're all ass
>>581166318That's very hard to believe.
>>581166112It's probably in the middle, it's slightly better if not on par with shit like the AK-104/103, then the mutant is above solely bcs of the extra RPM, then the best one being the RPD, the worst has to go to the 136 VPO
little doodle I made
>>581166998Not really, considering it's competition. All the various AK/M pattern rifles are shit and should never be used unless absolutely necessary, such as the like one task that requires it or if you're extremely broke. It's arguably only beaten out by the Mutant and the RPD, while the SKS is still extremely powerful and has no recoil so it might even be better than the 704. Otherwise it's got pretty good ergo and recoil, which are better than the AK/M pattern rifles without needing to mod it to hell and back. >>581166995Yea, exactly.
>scav into factory because i'm watching youtube on my second monitor and can't be fucked to pay attention enough to run my pmc>run into a guy and his timmy on the way out to gate 3 as soon as i spawn in>chuck a nade in but don't see any bodies>loot some documents and leave>see two kills at the end of raid screen>one of them is this guyWhat the fuck are these stats? This screams RMT/paid cheater carry to me.
>>581168538>almost 5k hours with 0.2k/dyou have to respect the resilience
>>581168246>All the various AK/M pattern rifles are shit and should never be used unless absolutely necessaryWhat planet do you people live on?
>>581169658.308 platforms just wipe the floor with them, 5.45 versions are just outright better too, and the AK-308 exists now, all the 7.62 AKs need a stat rebalance, maybe the AKMN doesn't to the same extent since it's the one with the best stats
tarkov needs a system where if you can submit paperwork to bsg proving you are sufficiently disabled you get free lootboxes every month
Post your favorite bullet. I don't care about the gun or the mag size, but the specific bullet itself.
>>581170385SOST
>>581165320He knew you were PMC in disguise
are hatchlings still nerfed to oblivion? that was the only fun way to play tarkov
>>5811703857N40. The reduced recoil, increased accuracy, and just all around basedness of the bullet speaks to me. I wish I could have an unlimited supply, but the amount you can purchase per reset is terribly low so I find myself only rarely using it.>1200 rubles per bullet
>>581169658Earth, which you're clearly not from if you think any normal person will ever use the AK/M pattern rifles if they have the option to use literally anything else. >>581170679Just bring in a pistol and a rig when you load into the raid so you're not immediately tagged and cursed. I'm pretty sure that even if you immediately drop them on the floor you'll be fine.
>>581171156Buy it off the flea market gay little child. It's not like your 7 million pve rubles can be stolen off you
>>581171445Even I know that bullet isn't available on the flea. Flea has been nerfed so hard you can't even sell M856A1 or BT anymore.
why are the healing costs after you die so obscene.I'm NOT paying 55k to heal my dude that's more expensive than the loadout i ran.
>>581172070what's the point of the flea if I can't sell my bullet???
>>581172109Just say you're poore
>>581172109Buy a grizzly and use that to heal instead.
>>581171445>>581172070So I took a look, and then kinda had a momentI can't seem to sell virtually any bullet on the flea that I was checking all throughout my ammo boxes. Is ammo even something you can sell anymore? I used to collect M856A1 boxes just to sell it (had a box called Flea holding so I could put it together into big sales).All of the mags I search linked on only show the trader sales for ammo as well.>>581172262this frfr, i used to sell all sorts of bullet and now when it comes up it seems i can't sell ANY bullet
>>581170385M855 and SOST, even though they're basically equivalent to 5.45 PS and PP they still feel special and I always pick them up despite having a bunch of them already. Maybe because the 5.56 guns feel like the exotic, alien METAfaggot options. I mean, what the hell, USECs start with M4A1s but you never see any of those sweatlord assholes running around with AK-74Ms.
>>581170385Easy
>>581172843>figure this retard can't possibly be right>they actually removed all bullets from the fleawhat the FUCK
>>581174406Went looking and apparently ammopacks are available on the flea. A 120p 7N40 costs 350k rubles lmao
I really wish the CPC didn't have the retarded shoulder pads on itWould be one of the coolest rigs in the game otherwise
>>581175256>3000 per bulletAbsolute kikery.
>>581175695I'm personally more annoyed by that big ass antenna.
nikita could we please have like one western bolt action that isn't fdeslop besides the remington
>>581177737I'd love a 5.56 bolt action
Speaking of bolt actions, is recoil a stat that even matters with them?
>>581162019just got like 5 quests done in one raid
holy fuck I hate the AA-20 this quest needs to be over NOWi'm going to KILL some fucking SCAVS
>it's another spraying a guy's head point blank but height over bore puts all your shots into his thorax episode
>>581178947No not really, instead it's all about the bolt cycling animation. Some bolties have a really smooth cycle that keeps you on target while zoomed in a bit easier. I'm not sure but some may cycle faster a bit faster too?
>>581179218YOOO good fuckin' work, son!I have a daily for 3 survives on Reserve and I got the VERY unfortunate (or fortunate) circumstance of getting an Armor Repair Kit, a bunch of other stuff I wanted, jumped by 3 PMCs in a small room so my plates got fucked up, and an airdrop that had a Tank Battery and fuel in it.
>>581179516Shit taste
>>581180189>116kgPlease tell me you didn't walk like that.
Is it just me or are raids super fucking sweaty and shitty now that a ranking system has been introduced. I'm running into the sweatiest gayest squads ever on streets. People just camping all exits on a building and tossing gas grenades
>>581180481I was gonna but you really can't. There was a backpack in the supply drop anyway so I ran my ass back to sewer manhole, dropped my backpack, went back and grabbed the Tank Battery and ran back again. After a little sorting, I was out with everything.
time to be the biggest chungus on factory
>>581180189my friend got two tank batteries on reserve and had to hopscotch his backpack all the way down to D-2 yesterday, took him like 20 minutes
just got RAPED by tagilla
Yeah something fucking fucked on streets today, like 5 back to back raids of nothing but sweatlord duos running the best shit ever just randomly behind a corner. Is there some kinda event right now on streets or something? Usually I don't run into people this juiced all the time.
>>581182219That's how streets usually goes.
>>581182219>he doesn't know
I have never ever seen Kollontay spawn in the academy
RAPED BY TAGILLA AGAIN AWARD
>>581182669That's usually where I run into him, but I also hate going into the mall. He's only got two spawns, you'll see him there eventually.
Yeah...finally got to the point in the season where I'm actually getting gear diffed. I'm at lvl3 armor and whatever ammo I can find in raid, while everyone else is a squad with lvl5 plates and M995. I'm still having a good time running my trash kits but for sure there have been tons of fights I would have taken down multiple people if my shit was better.Taking no flea was kind of a mistake kek, I think I'd be able to buy lvl4 plates and good ammo right now, and my bank account really suffers not being able to sell shit at a good price either. I'm winning though, for now I still have a +1.00 k/d with 0 scav runs and solo only. It's my personal hardcore mode, although I'd probably take flea next time. Oh and fuck prapor for only selling ~300 9x18 PstM rounds each refresh what the fuck dude
>>581178180>.300blk with working subsonic...hnnnnggghhor just add 30-06 already. BAR and barrel replacement for remington with some new stocks
It makes me sad knowing it's gunna be only two new guns every like 6 months from now on and they're gunna be relegated to the stupid fucking battle pass.
what kind of sick person would put a full can of gas in a SAFE
>Scav run>Ten minutes left in the raid>Hear a huge gunfight on my way to the extraction that dies down when I get near>Kitted out duo that won comes by and starts checking the practically empty house I'm in for loot>Kill one and then get tradedWHY'D YOU HAVE TO DO IT YOU GREEDY BASTARDI KNOW YOU HAD LOOT ALREADYWE COULD HAVE ALL WALKED AWAY WITH FULL BAGS
>>581184820I do shit like that. It's not like I'll ever see the reaction to it, but I do it anyway.
once i get to prestige 3 that's me done. i've "escaped".
>>581185291words of a man about to come back 2 weeks later to go for prestige 4
>>581185291But there are 3 more after that.
you wouldn't think this guy is cheating, but you'd be surprised.
>>581185291I have a lot of hours on my profile and I've still never bothered to escape from tarkov, nor prestigeI just don't care to bother with it
>>581187283I instinctively jumped when I saw his stats because I thought he was me but then I realized he only has 15 raids and I have 700. haha...
>queue as group>sub 1 min matching>queue as solo>nearly 10 min matching
>>581187283There's a huge market for cheats that are just ever so slightly good enough that they don't arouse suspicion.
>>581187283Speaking of, I assume cheaters should be pretty much gone from permanent PVP now that they've added a dumbass honeypot for them in the form of leagues?
well that's enough for today.>time to farm cultists on perm
>>581190232he wasn't subtle at all, but i guess that could also be because he's a shitter who doesn't know how to hide it. fucking retard just let me kill him after chasing me 6 miles and knowing every obscure angle i was holding every time i repositioned.
I can't help it...I'm addicted to scav runs...
>>581190341people cheat in PvE, so who knows.
>>581191870I bet there's millions of dollars in an AI that will play the game for you. It'd be silly not to release games with it at this point. The goys are craving brainslop
since this fucking leaderboard update ive died in the most suspicious ways, im just getting chased down across the map game in now unplayable
Do I have to play on the main PvP account rather than seasonal to get any new clothes?
>>581190541>>581191870>>581190341speaking of. This was the first guy I ran into while cultist hunting @ 23:00. It's amazing the blatancy and lack of effort from BSG. >still don't have my achievements from seasonal either on my perm >nor my winter clothes for BEAR from the completing the Arena event
>>581192672What am I supposed to be seeing here?
>>581192764I can describe at length but TLDR >cheater at night doing a carry makes impossible shots. Same ol'this guy or one of his friends saw me the second my head peaked in range from stronghold as I was getting to my on the crane by reshala's dorm. ~minute from start of raid. At night. I thought it was Birdeye at first, re-positioned for goons then was greeted with a hail of nades and perfect shots. Or their prediction and movement is insane for 94 hours while hunting cultists. A prodigy or cheat. I'm betting a liar and a cheat>Cheaters will always be little boys>Cheaters avoid challenge and learn to avoid it in their life as well>Challenge is the source of growth
>>581180801>Is it just me or are raids super fucking sweaty and shitty now that a ranking system has been introduced.Its not even sweaty just alot of the cheaters started hunting players for the leaderboards instead of just for the loot
>>581151283mall snipers got removed ages ago
>>581193787I miss those niggas, there were always 2 or even 3 of them just hanging around.
>>581193651and they love cultist hunting and hate challenge and competition. They're pussies. >This guy shot me through a box and behind the tarp on scaffolding while laying down from crackhouse. >Also check the profiles of the sellers of marked keys for a good chuckle
Why are there so few flea listings for things on seasonal now? Has everyone left? Tons of categories have literally no listings.
>>581180123You also get new cycling animations at mastery lvl 2
insane how much you have to play with ak platform weapons to unlock good attachments in arena
>>581194540>>This guy shot me through a box and behind the tarp on scaffolding while laying down from crackhouse.LOL its retarted how blantant they have got since the update, seriously night and day difference from 24 hour ago before the update, also its only mid week and its this bad cant imagine the weekend raids
>>581196428tbf I am on the west coast servers, chinks REALLY like to cheat when they get off work on these servers for the ping abuse as well. There are so many more from the hours of 11pm-6am than during weekends or unemployed daytime hours. This was on permanent pvp too. 2/3 raids so far. >and yes the amount bitches is even higher on seasonal (which is why I switched to pvp just to avoid the flood of them)
>>581192672>94 hours>245 raids
>>581194646yeah, kinda. They gatekept a big and beloved content like icebreaker for some leaderboard wannabe bullshit.
>>581197039I don't doubt the chinks are cheating but ping abuse hasn't been a thing in Tarkov for years, low pings are invariably significantly favoured in all encounters over high pings and have been for a very long time
>3:48 PM>threads deadDoes no one like this game?
Season 3 never ever.
>>581200302krokodil hit the norvinsk region VERY hard
>play arena for like an hour>xp goes from 50k to 280kseems like the seasonal league on seasonal pvp will be won by whoever grinds arena the most guys
>>581204849Is it better to buy arena on epic games or from their site if I have the steam version?
>>581204849I heard arena xp doesn't count to league board> wonno one is snatching anything away from anybody.
>>581205428never buy directly from BSG. They won't refund you in case something funny happens.
>>581204849>>581205429Arena XP certainly isn't supposed to count
>>581205428>>581205676>give money to Nikitaor>give money to Tim Sweeney and NikitaThere is no good option here and the only winning move is not to play, but not giving money to ep*c is objectively the lesser evil.
>>581207175i like fortnite though
>>581206115it does not count
the best safe I've looted
>>581149852I think they should add the GP-46, so players could use the more common NATO grenades with AKs.
whats a good youtube to watch for someone getting into tarkov
Just found what I think is a closet wallerthis retard tried chasing me around Interchange despite me hiding several times far enough way from him where he shouldn't be able to hear me at points where there was several different ways for me to go. Still popped his ass with the full auto blicky around a corner though jej. got lucky because he was going for SBIH instead of using his M4 >>581149852>>581211125I want these things man>smoke rounds>animated ladder sights for the NATO GLs>flare + flashbang rounds>M79 (a cut down SEALs version that could be holstered would be pretty funny)>FN EGLM fucking finally>M320 that can be mounted on full length rails, the G36 and on stuff like govt profile ARs>rifle grenades (pretty relevant now that FAMAS is coming)
>>581211847GigabeefSwampFox
>>581212435swampfox has the audacity to post 2 hour long videos of just him killing 3 scavs and then randomly getting one tappedI'm surprised he gets views at all.
>>581211065>tfw my roubles still don't look like this even after clearing cache and everythingmissing out desu
>>581212775Yeah, but what I helped me a lot when I started out, are the little pop ups he makes whenever he uses a med or a stim that explain what the item actually does, or shows a price tag of an expensive item.Also, I guess those videos are comfy background noise.
>>581212775Here's something you may enjoy more.https://youtu.be/KPP4Cfupzhs
just started using postfx and nvidia color controlthis shit is literally cheating wtf I've basically been a blind bat up till this point.
>>581212775>just him killing 3 scavs and then randomly getting one tappedWow, he's just like me... I'll check out his videos, I guess.
>>581211847Abney, because his videos are actually entertaining unlike almost every other tarkov youtuber.
>>581221950That faggot is insufferable, man.
>>581222475But enough about Desmond.
>>581222683Yeah, and that 'AbneyDude' person is awful as well. Fuck video as a medium.
>>581222475>the autist hates fun and whimsyYea man we know you're a miserable fag
Does anyone have an updated list of items I need FIR for quests now? The one on the wiki is outdated.
>>581211847pestily's the raid series is pretty good as he goes over some nice things for beginners, it does have the problem of him being a much better player than average though so his gameplay will not match how a beginner's experience goes at all.
Why is the Tor-2 helmet so rare and why do (or did) 'sweats' occasionally run it?
>>581224908It has ear protection and takes a class 3 faceshield
>just killed this guy for SBIH while he was trying to breach a shed door at powerOh no...
>literal random nigger with an mp5sd hiding in the green bus on Primorsky aveDude I fucking ENTERED the bus to regain my stamina and when I left he was wallbanging me through it with m882 fmj. Literally had no idea where he even was until he stepped out and approached me to finish me off. Was he prone or something and I just didn't look down????? 3000 hours too. Ig bro.
>>581229191he was hiding in your foreskin
>asked support about UN armband being added to peacekeeping mission which I already completed>first reply is "does issue still persist?">what, yeah, i suppose it still persists>ask if they can mail it to me or reset the task>"please wait for fix"Alright, I'm not getting it until I reset the character or prestige or something it seems, whatever, bummer
>>581222475he's a lot of things but insufferable is not one of them.

>>581234423Guess they're trying to appeal more to the Chinese because they know the chinks love spending money. The Japanese audience has been around for a few years and BSG has been doing the Tokyo game show for years, but that's obviously why the type 20 was added as well. Not that I mind, it's a cool gun.
>>581238174I love chinese guns too
do ammo cases spawn in maps or is it only buyable from mechanic
>>581239162In marked rooms.
>>581239162Marked rooms, I think.
>>581239162in the inventory of people who came out of marked rooms
have terminal BD's been nerfed to the ground like the ones on seasonal and icebreaker?
>>581239162giving tree and giving shelf can also spawn them
>>581239286>>581239349>>581239756what are marked rooms>>581240279i'm gonna guess that's a pretty rare occurence
>>581240995Locked rooms with high tier loot.
>>581241201Rooms unlocked with marked keys (yellow background, stained and rusty). Extremely contested and containing high-tier loot.
>>581240995the rooms that are marked by the cultists. if you get in you get cursed and they hunt you down if you play at night
>>581241662>if you get in you get cursed and they hunt you down if you play at nightFuck I wish this was true
i actually like desmond and it is actually solely because he is extremely negative. feels like a breath of fresh air compared to all the other tarkov streamers which are just composed of the regular faggot leftist streaming type.
>>581239978There's two types off BD. Regular BD and BD raiders.The raiders don't drop a dogtag, that's how you can tell.
Oh my god streets is so FUCKING aids this cancerfaggot is camping at the fucking car with SSA AP. I just want to plant the fucking beanie or take the car once for the Fence rep holy fucking SHIT dude.
>>581239978I did terminal a few days ago, I still died to them two times, but one of those I literally got shot in the back by a mute BD with no voicelines. They seem managable now, though I may just have more experience fighting them after the Labs event and seasonal.>>581243712I'm not saying you're supposed to glaze BSG constantly, but blatantly hateplaying a game is mental illness.>>581243814Labs only has BD Raiders and they drop dogtags. I'm pretty sure BDs are just not guaranteed to have a dogtag.Speaking of, are red dogtags only on Wedge, or can his guards also drop them?
>>581244181>I'm not saying you're supposed to glaze BSG constantly, but blatantly hateplaying a game is mental illness.i would say that if he wasn't getting paid. i'd rather play a video game that i dislike rather then getting a 9-5.
>>581244507>i'd rather play a video game that i dislike rather then getting a 9-5.Grim.
>>581243712Can't imagine what it's like going through life being this much of a miserable faggot
>>581244568how is it grim? you get to work within your own timeframe and stop whenever and you don't need to wake up at the crack of fucking dawn just to work at a place filled with blacks and retards just to get minimum wage. streaming is much preferable to that shit
>>581244740I dunno man, games are supposed to be escapism and a form of enjoying free time, shit, it's cool if you're paid to do it, but clearly playing something you don't enjoy for 12+ hours a day is a fucking miserable existence at the end of the day. Not to mention, fame is temporary. At some point he's gonna become washed, stop streaming, and then what? Yeah sure he'll have money saved up, but depending on how retarded he is, that money may very quickly run out. Good luck getting a job after you did nothing but play videogames for your entire life.
>>581245039you can easily just apply this to working a job that you hate which like 95% of people do because you have to work to survive in a society and even then you can also apply the act of streaming to more unstable jobs such as working as a waiter or a cook in a restaurant or something which is more than likely not going to work out because the catering industry is incredibly unstable. streaming is obviously the preferable option over working a normal 9-5 and is also better because you get to at least control certain aspects of it.
This guy is a retard.

I'm a retard too...
>just chilling, collecting docs on factory as my scav>a duo of pmcs starts shooting me out of nowhere>set my double-barrel to double-tap and get a shot off in their general direction>die to them, then go to my kill listlove to see it
>gas masks completely counter CS gas grenades>respirators only counter inhaling the gas but the gas still blurs your vision>wearing goggles don't prevent the gas from blurring your visionFuck off, at least make BDs spawn with gas masks for often on Icebreaker, they keep dropping respirators.
>>581247517I went to weather station on shoreline to collect docs as scav. Two yellow name pieces of shit camped there at night raid while it was 9 mins left in a bush near the main road. I even thought it was BD until the death screen. Holy fuck this new leader board make these losers sink so low.
>>581249331progress the season bro, wedge has the gas mask
>>581249616It's not about that, anon. It's about consistency. Respirator + goggles should completely counter the gas, just like a gas mask.
>>581249535Wtf was Nikita thinking with this, surely this was motivated by making money to pull the studio out of a bad spot and this wasn't something that they thought would actually improve the experience for anybody.
>>581249760yeah but you see that setup would not only be attainable thru non icebreaker-season play it would also not have the draw back of the mask they made just for this content, which is the reduced fovso the mask would lose all value
>>581251651You can just use a GP-7 gas mask, you don't need the seasonal one.
>>581251872Does the BD mask have less visual obstruction than the gp-7? I'm hoping that MSA mask coming with the next arena pass does.
>>581254295I think they're the same, otherwise the difference between them is negligible.>I'm hoping that MSA mask coming with the next arena pass does.Of course it will, gotta get people to play Arena somehow.
>>581254482They already did something like that with the gimp mask last winter, but it would also just be kinda stupid if it didn't anyway since the entire point of that mask is it's larger field of view.
>>581222475every content creator is insufferable with tarkov. That's why you find cute girls that play tarkov poorly.
>>581255536show me one that isn't a vtoober or is constantly being carried by her harem of simps
finished the factory map on arena and then right after got the only item I actually wanted from the crates, despite having already accepted that I wouldn't be getting it
>>581257269>despite having already accepted that I wouldn't be getting itNever give up.
>>581257269I really hope they rework the drop rates on those things. The rates simply aren't high enough with how few of them you get.
>>581257593You actually get crates relatively often now from XP drops.
>>581257770Nta, but I've been doing dailies and buying tokens almost every day, but I'm still missing one red and one pink. Same story with the S0 collection, I never ended up getting the red. They should really make the rates at least a little higher
do not redeem the crate saar
>>581257770That's because it's 2x exp right now.
>>581258680I meant even before that. I haven't played Arena since before double XP.
>>581260483Dunno then. I wasn't getting them enough to make it worth playing arena any more than I had to in order to finish the bp.
leagues have been out for like what, 2 days now? how the fuck do these people have so much exp i thought arena exp doesn't count
>>581262519The first two are obviously Chinese.
>>581262519They're fucking retards who hoarded tasks to turn in, and now when next week rolls around they'll have nothing to progress through rank 2.
>>581255536That does not sound appealing either. No, not at all. I hate women.
>>581262660the neet situation in china must be astronomical
>>581262660The first one is obviously Russian.
>>581262519dailys and weeklys give a shit ton of xp at 46 and over
>>581263060Even worse
>>581263129For you?
how do i get friends to queue with...
>>581265235Ask and you shall receive, of course
>>581257439thought I dug my own grave by not touching tarkov during the summer and coming back a week before seasonal>>581257593they are very rough, and the gamble aspect is really gay imo. I'd rather do long grinds than keep opening crates in the hopes of getting lucky
>>581265235Just add the guys you kill :)
cant this stupid fucking season just come out already jesus
>>581262519this is my group, really wonder what the fuck this top guy is doing

>>581271365>cheaters get to go undetected for 8k hours worth of game timeis it really so hard to have a system that flags people that go over 2.5k/d so they can check if they're actually legit or not.
>>581272010I mean, did you see the stats for the chink that got the world's first savior escape? He had a like 95% s/r and an 83k/d or some shit and he now has a streamer item. I'm pretty sure I have a screenshot of his stats around that time, I'll see if i can find it.
>>581272775>>581272010Yea, here it is. He was even abusing the fucking ulach/tagilla mask bug.
>eagle still downAAAAAHHHH MY PASSIVE INCOME GO AWAY ASSHOLES I NEED MY 60k+ EAGLES AGAIN
Honestly, I wouldn't mind if you needed to walk around your hideout in order to interact with it. There's really no reason to actually go IN your hideout as is.

What the fuck does "just around the corner" mean, you fucks? What does BSG have against giving actual dates for their updates?
>>581275590Just around the corner, suka (2031)
>>581275590>>581275851i've also been noticing them shoving off actually telling a release date. if this gets pushed into october i will kek
>>581271751his permanent stats look more legitthe sr% is really high, but I can see a scenario with a sweatstack abuser getting it legitemately, especially if abusing dead servers like he seems to be as his pmc kills/raid is super low
>>581276467>he has less PMC kills than i doHonestly I always find high raid counts but "low" pmc kills kinda suspicious.
So what's stopping BSG from making real animations for toggling zoom on optics? Personally, I would say laziness. I think it would be a nice nerf to magnified optics. As is, LPVOs reign supreme. Unrelated. but I really hate how the specter is a like, 0.5x zoom in RoN and it feels like SHIT.
>>581276660a while ago I met a duo of 40 year old dadgamers with around 10k hours each who wanted to play with me. they played exclusively night raids with a single dead server (granted, one of them lived near it) selected, and they played super carefully in the sense that they never went to loot hotspots or fight bosses first, crouchwalked if they were within 100 meters of enemies and only reacted to noise made by other playersboth had ~75% survival rate, nearly 2kd and <0.5 pmc kills/raidnot my style of play, so I only did one session with themI can see better players do more or less the same thing, but much more efficiently
post the 1st place in your league
Now that I think of it, perhaps BSG implemented the ranked system to outsource anti-cheat to the community who do it by inspecting profiles in their respective pools and spamming reports of suspicious profiles.
Can the new rifles be found as loot after you unlock them or can they only be purchased from the vendors?
>>581287223They're not world loot, no. If you're on seasonal you can find them on BD, but otherwise vendor only.
>>581276467His average life span is also super high. He could just be a massive rat and play like a bitch. That's kind of the thing with K/D and SR. It doesn't really say much about skill/cheating if the person is only ever taking fights heavily stacked in their favor and running away from everything else. People complain about a game like Hunt Showdown, where there's little to really do but PvP and no real reward other than getting the contested boss tokens, even tracking KDA precisely because the stereotypical high KDA player is someone who rats the fuck out of games and will literally just leave their teammates to die and extract with nothing purely to preserve their stats.
>>581288003in fairness hunt also has the problem of the bounty being worthless
>7.62x39 PS is good for a stacking round but 35 pen isn't a top round at all>7.62x39 PP is brapper FOUR and still only 41 pen, usable but not top class and *incredibly* expensive for what it is at 1,256 per bang>7.62x39 BP is inaccessible>7.62x39 MAI AP doesn't exist>none of them above PS can be found in meaningful quantities in raid>7.62x39 platforms are all god awfulWhat's the point of this calibre?
>>581290568>7.62x39 PP is brapper FOURThis isn't a problem. PP on lower level prapor would be stupid.
>>581290675Nigger you can have thousands of 5.45 BP in a day or two just from Reserve with the recently boosted spawn rates, or morbzillions of 855A1 from nig division or even just FiR now that the boxes are spawning in a lot more places a lot more commonly. It is entirely relevant to consider the context of the round and not just in a vacuum. Even taken without all this 41 pen out mostly 600 RPM guns isn't world ending when even the humble BCP FMJ comes close.
>>581290568To use the DSA body kit RPD, and the UAS body kit SKS and nothing else.
>>581290568>What's the point of this calibre?gives scavs something to blow your arm off in one shot from 40+ meters away
Where do I go to download tarkov cheats
>>581291040>you can have thousands of 5.45 BP in a day or two just from Reserve with the recently boosted spawn rates, or morbzillions of 855A1 from nig division or even just FiR now that the boxes are spawning in a lot more places a lot more commonlyYes, you blue gummed nigger, those are not good things either. How is your conclusion not that those things need to be changed instead?
>>581293565If you're still imagining shartkov is ever going to be an economy of scarcity again then you're going to be very disappointed
>Spawn in right next to a camp as a scav>Hear someone walking around and assume it's a scav>Get lit up two seconds later running into the campOh, I guess I should have known better than to assume the game wouldn't spawn me 15 feet from a PMC.
>>581294290I've had that happen enough times this wipe to make me think they've intentionally changed pscav spawning behaviour to be near PMCs
I fucking hate 9.0 air so much bros
>>581299151posting in the right tab again award
>>581278186Animations are the only thing that can balance things in game, if they made proper animations for zooming in and out of LPVOs and that would fuck up gun handling they wouldnt be as strong, and then they would shift the use for these sights like the Elcans or HAMRs/Bravos
Personally I think LPVOs in Tarkov are fucked up because the bullet never ever lands anywhere near the dot horizontally
>>581299151BR bracket that feels like current iteration of labs pvp, though it gets worse
>>581299151it's funny how most 8.0-8.3 jets are some of the most fun planes in the game and most 9.0-9.3 jets are just cock and ball torture from start to finish
I'd love if Escape from Tarkov:Arena had no game breaking bugs like sitting infinitely in the loadout screen waiting for a match that'll never start!
fuck of racist
>lightkeeper task line is a "test of the player's skill" instead of immersive and interestingWhat the fuck is BSG even doing anymore? Do they even know? The first two tasks are just hoping nobody rats you at the plant areas and getting lucky enough to rat someone planting themselves. That's how I completed them, anyway. Not exactly much skill involved there.The "kill 3 pmcs on labs in one raid" one is also pretty ridiculous. Even seeing three PMCs on labs is pure luck, and what the fuck does killing pmcs on labs have to do with lightkeeper? This shit feels so random.
>>581304697Yeah it's fucking retardedAlso>muh player skill>task progress is shared in a grouplollmao evendare I say rofl
The problem with old LK was just the saturation of quests behind it and all the timegated shit + 50 billion spawns for the buttplug and assessment pt 1 really
>>581306367Yeah and all that could've easily been adjusted without turning it into a completely different, objectively worse questline.
>>581306525I really just can't wrap my mind around it, they've been listening to the wrong opinions for years, I wouldn't be surprised if they listened to the streamers that keep asking for nade animations to be removed or some other retarded shit, I think if the game was gatekept harder and BSG sticked to their original goal of the game things would probably be different, it's like for every good change they make, they also have to add six bad changes right after
>>581307210streamer cunts ruin every game they touch
I swear to god, WHy did they add this leaderboard shit as if the PVP in seasonal wasn't dogshit enough they added something else that just makes people not play raids and just sit in a room for 30 minutes
>>581307210I would be far more forgiving to BSG if Black Divison were all cute waifus
>>581309794They should've added more prestiges instead.
>built an Mk17 for over 400k roubles when I could've bought an rsass for 70k and spent another 70k on 4 attachmentsYea it's my own fucking fault>>581310117That's another thing that has no fucking point anymore. I never prestiged prior to 1.0 because I never locked in enough, or really cared to, then 1.0 drops and as i'm about to P1 they drop seasonal so what really is the point for the minor stat change that isn't even noticeable

Excuse me Mr. Reserve ammo run guy...Can you draw a map? I'm a lighthouse ammo run guy and would like to try my luck
>>581318715Reserve has way too many ammo spawns and buildings with many floors to properly map it out. I tend to do a half loop of the map ending around heating pipe, hole in the fence mountain, or checkpoint as a scav. If you have questions about specific spots you can ask em but explaining each one in one post would take a while.

I don't care for his stories about 8 hours in a row on Factory either, but I just read them if I'm bored or skip over it, I don't need to write a greentext about how upsetting it is like an emotional foid.
>>581327571You really like Factory, huh?
>>581329010good bait krovi
>>581329221Ye, just spent like 6-8 hours on it after I felt like I was having some physical issue with playing League on stream tonight. Spent most of the time with a friend who is new and did lots of pathing, document collecting, fighting, etc while getting him familiar with the mechanics more and more. He's learning, and starting to get kills during the raids and not just let me handle the scavs/pmcAI. He did find Tagilla and got clubbed like a baby seal at one point, so that's gonna be a work in progress. Tactics tend to go out the window when the panic sets in.Worst thing that happened to me was getting hit with a superperformance slug in the leg, it killing one of my arms with residual damage, and ending up with 2 heavy bleeds and nearly falling over without taking a single point of armor damage.
>>581329126If you don't like what you see just ignore it and grow some thicker skin. Getting triggered by words so hard you feel the need to remove them completely is indeed pathetic redditcuck behavior.

did people have to do information source to complete kord breach or should i be given the next quest after digital puzzle automatically if i've done getting acquainted?
NRS-2 gun knife when?
I gotta rethink my ammo choice for the KLIN now that deathshadows are out. Before that update, I'd run PstM because it had >20 pen meaning it could still face tap someone through a deathshadow. But now after the mask update, what's the state of face protection in the game? I'm thinking I could just run flesh ammo instead and still go for faces when the moment calls for it. That said, SP7 has 7 pen...it's liable to be stopped even by glasses kek
>>581328810You can't filter anything on mobile.
>>581345565Nobody runs face shields that aren't an altyn or tagilla mask, so you're free to face tap just about everyone.
>>581345565I always take the highest or second-highest pen round if I'm going for heads, at least has a fighting chance against visors, also probably does more armour damage which let me kill a visor dude by shooting his thorax once.

Fucking hate these faggots running around with arena gear, that whole game was such a mistake
>>581347784What about actually tasteful Arena stuff such as>green Cold Fear balaclava>Multicam Exfil>SPEAR ballistic gogglesetc?
>more anodized skeletonized shitNikita has such horrible taste.
>>581348407Can't wait for it to have BIS stats and be locked behind lootboxes.
I didn't get any of those mini stock things
>>581348230I have no idea what any of that stuff is, because literally everyone you see in an actual raid with arena gear is some gigafaggot tattoo'd retard with a chinese ballistic mask and oodles of free meta gear from ref. Those tattoo character skins are so stupid looking
>>581348407I don't know how he can like the epic awperator PMCs and evil ass murderhobos aesthetic of EfT while also liking those stupid tacky plastic skull masks and airsoft toy furniture like this. I guess Arena was a decent outlet for the latter without flooding the base game with it too badly. Maybe it's just what The Fans want, stupid garish paintball skins outsold grounded camo patterns in CSGO and changed that game forever, after all.
>>581349124Sensible people probably don't spend their GP coins on the more tasteful stuff in Seasonal since there's no insurance.
>>581273063GENUINELY why do these games never just immediately flag people with outrageous k/d ratios? not even the best poopsocking streamers can have a k/d higher than 4counter strike had the same problem where their entire leaderboard was just hackers with outrageous scores, like how hard can it be to decide that yes the nigger with 75k/d and 93% survival rate is infact not legit.
>>581349451No insurance has been pretty shit this season. As a solo it's cost me tons of money just from the gear I ditch when I upgrade mid-raid.I know what you mean about drip suffering, I used to love running the black/blue beret but it costs fucking OUTRAGEOUS amounts of money kek. It wasn't so bad when I could fraud it in a bush, and no one would take them off my corpse, but now it's just money lost when I die or upgrade from it.
>>581349470heuristic banning mechanisms are pretty common in games that don't include cheaters rebuying the game every so often in their profit projections
>>581349470I'm this case I'm guessing it was purely to avoid the chinks having a complete meltdown, because that's what they do when one of them is publicly banned.
>>581349820I dropped a beret once for what turned out to be an airsoft helm and was so pissed off when I found out I couldn't get another one.
>>581348756look at other attm, 100%
is all of BSG involved in this or just Nikita?When I looked the dev studio up, it said they are based in Dubai.
>>581352213I think nikita has a new dev team on it.

>>581354092I hate the scav spawn conga line. It's so obvious when it happens and only serves to empty out your ammo reserve and draw in other PMC's.
>>581354636Yeah, though the BD guns made it pretty easy to restock, but my M1A became useless when I ran down my thought-it-was-excessive ammo stock of 7.62. The fact scavs are magnetised to bodies with zero regard for survival is moronic honestly, it hyper-concentrates them to a ridiculous degree and makes looting anything a chore when there are any of them within a 100 mile radius
>>581354092>out-wait him, I weigh a trillion kg right now and swinging on him is way too high riskBind "drop backpack" to an accessible key to help with this in sudden fights.
where do i get the 10 scav kills for jaegar in woods bros i just keep running around and find no scavs at all, where do they spawn on this map?
>>581362337Sawmill, rocks past saw mill, Sunken village, new village, scav bunker and Emercom USEC checkpoint and the little house by outskirts
>>581362337Emercom, sawmill, or the village
>>581362337>Scav bunker>Scav town>Scav house>Checkpoint>Sawmill>EmercomThey even path up into the southern part of the USEC camp occasionally.It's more about just getting lucky and the game actually spawning them in when you want it to.
>Labs themed Arena season>called Morbus Imperium>latin for Empire of Disease>heavily implies labs is the home of the mentally illBravo, Nikita. I kneel.
>>581364925I actually like the map layout of labs. Sadly it's infested with cheaters and nastiest rats.

:)
>>581376438Spawned in the little bunk room with the safe under Red, so my pathing was gonna be Red -> Violet -> Yellow but things got really hot in the middle of Red Side so I said fuck it and went roaming through the tunnels until I came out under Blue. Did Black, Green, and Orange and was far too loaded with stuff to justify stopping in on Blue and potentially wasting the keycard use. Only 2 kills near the end at the elevator under Black, 200 flesh damage and 600 armor damage lmao thanks BT rounds.

Anyone else noticing scavs picking up a lot more shit than usual? Every scav I kill now is carrying tons of all kinds of shit from around the map
>>581403010Scavs will gradually spawn with more shit as the raid goes on. Been like that for a while.
I can't wait to go full larp
>>581403434No I mean immediately. Within 5-10 minutes they're carrying a LOT of shit, like full inventories of good shit.
>>581408510they loot containers. i had a scav pick up a dead pmc's backpack that i was still looking through the other day.
>>581408664I know some do occasionally, but they're -all- absolutely loaded that I'm coming across in the last few days to an extremely unusual extent.
I doubted my instincts and I died for it
>>581408410Ok...the labs helm with the labs AA12 does go hard as fuck
>>581408410what teaser is this?
>>581416072Arena. We're getting customizable ronin respirators tomorrow.
>>581408410nikita you always know how to pull me back in god dammit.
>>581391139Sounds like a neurotic protestant puritan (redundant).
>>581408410i don't own arena and don't pay attention to what ref sells other than seeing he's the only person selling certain colors of rigs and helmets when i look at the flea, do they ever add in arena armor skins like this to the base game or will my labs armband wearing ass just never get to see this shit, let alone wear it?
>>581419306You're fucked, sorry anon. Gotta play arena to get GP coins in order to buy it from Ref.
>>581419306most of the cool shit is from the arena BPs.
>wanted to a smooth lean to kill a turret guard>Did the sidestep peek and got cut in half insteadI'm taking a break again
Literally every single sight in this game shoots incredibly low and it's not just meme over bore, the centre of the dot is more like where you should put the tip of their head at any range. This also makes irons even worse than they should be since you have to cover up your target completely with the mile wide front post
>>581421346I completely unbound the sidestep. The few times I tried to use it it got me killed.
Micro uzi should go in the pistol slot
>>581423343I was having such a good raid too, I was going to get the smooth lean and into Lexos since I used my nades on PMCs prior, and my body is just there on the middle of the road now
Just running around transiting from map to map as a scavvy boi is more fun than playing the game properly
>>581423623It happens. You should toss a nade over the wall to get tiem to move off the gun instead of peeking them normally anyway.
>>581430980I ran out of nades.
>>581431048Tragic
where the fuck is the new arena season nikitayou said it was tomorrow and I went to bed and woke up and it's still not here???

HOT TAKE: add dual-wielding but ONLY the mp5k
>>581432652This but unironicallyneeds a sling attachment that reduces recoil, increases ergo and lets you use two of them, but you can't ADS
>>581432652i do unironically think if we ever get dual-wielding it should be for semi-auto pistols only, making those not be completely useless for anything other than scav plinking, and also so i can fire like 170 rounds total from 2 makarovs before needing to reload
we're not getting dual wielding, ever. you guys are retarded for even thinking bsg would consider that.
add female PMCs NOW

you would think that in objective-based arena modes interacting with the objective would have some sort of impact on scoreboard position or rewardsunfortunately you would be wrong!
you should also be able to duel wield handguns obviously, and then they should also add a feature where you can dive sideways while shooting
I've unbound freelook a long time ago and haven't ever felt the need for it. In what scenario is looking around like normal not better?
>>581435784until they add point defenses and not just captures, I can't know for sure if the nigga is ratting or actually helping the team
>>581436612i've only seen it used to look in a doorway while sprinting past at full speed and usually jumping at the same time, makes you like impossible to hit or something
>>581436612you don't ever want to glance to your sides while sprinting?
>>581436612It's nice to look around while you're prone with a bipod, but the "traverse arc" of our heads is too limited. I'm going to ask that it be increased.

how do i tell the difference between a pmc and a scav
>>581440068you're so lucky. You'll get the hang of it. It's hard to see the details at your stage, but just LOOK at the dead bodies. Doing some scav runs and just taking in everything will do you good.
>>581440068you wait and see if they shoot you lol
>>581440340i was doing a scav run on woods and it was dark out and i found the slender mansion
>>581440068If they're moving suspiciously (as in sound-wise, if you can actually see them and they might be able to see you it's far too late) then odds are high. Suspicious movement would be if it sounds like they're checking corners and stuff.As for visuals you just have to get a feel for it, if they're more than like 20m away it gets really hard to differentiate one brown blob from another though and helmets are NOT a reliable indicator.

Arena S3 patchnoteshttps://x.com/tarkovarena/status/2100828452957913299>>581438495>EVENT: Skinwalker/ghostsHah, this reminds me of an idea I had for a game. You'd be a hunter going innawoods in let's say the PNW to kill animals for money. Like theHunter as a sim of sorts with survival mechanics. Pack food, camping supplies, that sort of thing. Except the further you go in the woods the weirder shit you see.>level 1(1-5km): regular ass birds, deer, elk, the occasional fellow hunter or hikers>level 2(5-10km): bears, bobcats, sketchy loners, abandoned buildings>level 3(10-20km, you get the pattern from here on out): criminal hideouts/trap houses, strange noises especially at night, guys that are probably serial killers (have to defend yourself from these people, also you can loot the hideouts for money/valuables)>level 4: cryptids start showing up, rare at the very start but then when you start getting 50km out you see one a day. bigfoot, fleshgaits, goatmen, pach an a hoYou could maybe harm/kill the cryptids and loot trophies from them for money. It'd be presented as a regular hunting/survival simulator in initial marketing, and only once the general public figures out it's a horror game in disguise would you acknowledge it
is fort still gonna be completely fucking unbalanced place your betsI bet YES
>no season 3 trailerDead game.

Look at what I found"have him say something like "Whelp you're on your own out here, I gotta go up ahead and check on the other group"Like really cheesy and cheery hunting lines then have him at the "second area" with a group of vocally distinct group of normies that you camp with for a night or two while hearing them talk.

redpill me on tarkov arena. will it help me level magdrills?
>>581442994yes. And all weapon skills (LMG's, Assault rifles, bolty etc). And Strength/Endurance. And Armor Skills. and covert movement if you wanna waste time. Although the movement and sound is different, it'll help with your point fire and becoming comfortable with firefights
>>581442994>>581443251no wtf. no sane person packs mags in arena
>>581441235What the fuck, P90 foregrip rails?
>>581444160who said im sane? im leveling mag drills
>>581444320Yeh, Nikita also showed a 5.56 muzzle adapter.
>>581444160you can also level it by checking mags
>>581444429Honestly bizarre when the best ammo is still a whopping 37 pen
what stops them from adding climable ladders and openable windows? why not do these significant changes instead of just random locks?
>>581444160sane people dont play arena>tube fed>ks-23>mosin>pump actions
>>581442994I considered dropping tarkov and just play arena. Why? I hate playing tetrix in my stash, love tarkov gunplay and Arena gives me constant pvp without wasting my time with tedious shits.
>>581444542I mean, if you ignore the what, 900 RPM with barely any recoil? I think SS190 is quite good, though it definitely costs too much on Peacekeeper.
>>581444945both of those things require adding new animations and shit while locks are effectively just a target that you shoot that deletes the lock object and unlocks the respective door/container, far less work to add that
>>581444945Random locks are easy to throw in to make maps more alive and force some risk/reward without really affecting the game negatively in any serious way. Climbable ladders immediately forces them to reevaluate the map design anywhere they are and could lead to some really aids camping spots. Openable windows is the opposite of locks where it's a no brainer 99% of the time that just makes the raid quieter.
>>581441235I swear I used the P90 once or twice in arena already during season 2, so it's not a new gun. Unless there's a body double with different name.Btw, new labs map sounds great. Hope it captures best aspects of the big labs.
>>581444945>>581445431>random locksI fucking wish they were random, unfortunately they have fixed spawns every raid. Would be way cooler if every raid had a different set of locked and unlocked doors. Doors should also randomly spawn open or closed every raid.
have a feeling that arena season 3 will last longer than 6 months, because they added two instead one crate to make it grindier.
>>581445579I think the Strike Industries chassis is being presented as a new variant of the gun, which is really fucking stupid if they somehow can't figure out how to have the chassis on the base variant
explain why pve is bad without sounding like a babbling toddler
>>581446386that'll be hilarious, maybe it'll just be a shiny version of the base gun like Model 1 and FA RL.
>>581446386>>581446657The stripped down weapon will have +1 ergo and -1 recoil vs a standard P90, just like the Model 1 and Saiga.

>>581448731yaasss queeeeen theres nothing wrong with wanting to play an easier game
>>581447731yes but based on the fact that they still haven't updated putting the MCB cover on the other helmet variants you'll only be able to put them on the black model.

>>581456020Tagilla spawned with the shit rig, huh? Tough luck, class 6 is a bitch to get.
>>581456226no clue what this means
Rate my haul
>>581456279Are you a newfag?
>>581456550yes
>>581456632Okay, I'll explain in detail then. Tagilla has one of two armored tactical rigs on him whenever he spawns, a class 4 one that is a dark grey and his normal iconic one that is tan and he is wearing there. That one, when inspected, will show the front plate is Class 6 and called Cult Termite. It's easily the best class 6 plate in the game because it has the highest durability among any of them, the other few being shittier materials or 10-15 lower durability. His rig also has more storage than your TV-106 with 6 2x1 slots. >Office Window extractHoly shit you killed him as a Scav? That's gonna be killer on your rep, too.
>>581456852>Holy shit you killed him as a Scav? That's gonna be killer on your rep, too.yeah fence hates me now
>>581446386>if they somehow can't figure out how to have the chassis on the base variantI don't see why you would think this and I very much doubt it. Nothing about the p90 indicates that this will be the case. I suspect you have brain damage.
>>581457029>level 12>almost no rep with any trader>-.15 scav repGenuinely, when you play Scav you have to avoid bosses and focus on killing PMCs but there's a trick to it. Killing a freshly spawned PMC doesnt' do anything but if it's killed a scav or two, it becomes worth .02-.06 rep just for gassing it.

>I can buy a Desert Eagle but level is too low for more magazinesthis game is so retarded to play now.
The arena meta score feels schizophrenic as fuck right now.
>>581474405Flea market, or treat deagles as a luxury item I guess.
Fiiine, I guess I'll spend my weekend losing my mind trying to get 3 kills in one raid on this piece of shit map.
>>581477928>first raid>get one kill>guys body falls over well over a second after I stopped firing>die to his boyfriend who killed me before his body even showed on my screenOff to a great start.
Huh, I didn't know that you couldn't put the suppressor on the 16" barrel. Slightly annoying that you can't buy these parts at all, unless you can buy them from ref once you unlock the scourge p90.
>>581471168>t. adhd zoomer needs golds right NOWYou playing for the game or the chests lil pup
>>581479124You are an ignorant and illiterate nigger, don't reply to me again.
>>581479247struck a nerve? take a quick hit from the vape and scroll tiktok for a bit. remember bro low cortisol
now that's how i like to start a raid
>>581479124Fuck off, obsessed geriatric faggot.
>>581479818saw this and thought of you bro
>>581479670Retard.
did they change something with lasers in arenathe TBL dot suddenly feels much easier for me to see now, but maybe it's just because I fucked with my postfx settings today
>>581481842Game looks the same to me, so probably your postfx.
I kinda like the new cod headshot hitmarker sounds, but it's a bit goofy having the same sound play for receiving headshots too and hard to tell if you landing a hit or someone whacked on your helmet in the middle of a fightcan we maybe have separate sounds for incoming and outgoing or allow disabling incoming sounds or something
>>581479796
>Arena reset my mouse sensitivity settings>can't remember how I had it setup previously>all values feel wrongOh god.
>get 2 kills on labs>hear zero gunshots, grenades, or buttons being pressed for the remainder of the raidWow, new Lightkeeper questline is so hecking cool and epic.
>>581486225Also loving all those sub 300 hours accounts who know the exact moment when to peek and stuff. I am yet to die to a player with actual playtime on this game.
>>581487230I personally get killed by nothing but people with like 5000 to 10 000 hours. Sure, they are probably legit, but it's so tiring to get my anus constantly raped by people who play this game like it was their job.
Did they remove showing which are player scavs on the kill feed? I swear they are players im killing but they are not showing player profiles
>>581464509its pretty annoying that there's barely if any rigs worth buying with gp coinsyou're on pve though and can just buy one and use it to the end of the world
>>581486185bro your backups? your snapshots? your version history?
>>581465837feels like checkpoint is absolutely full of shitters who can't even stand on the point nowadayslike half a year ago I was able to have like 80% winrate on fort cpt, but now I lose over 90% of the matches on the worse side and have resorted to playing more bay5 and some bowl (which I fucking hate, because it's way too easy to camp spawns)the teamkilling has also got worse, these same guys don't look top right if the points are being capped before running to the sites and shooting at everythinghow are the fort changes by the way, if you have played it?
>>581211847BURBNT PEANOUUUTTTTTTTTTTT
.45 RIP fucks.I'm so glad I'm done with this shit, fuck this quest. I was so sure I'm going to choke on the last guy, there were BDs in the room as well.>>581490901No, I only play Bay 5 on Checkpoint. I actually rarely play Checkpoint at all due to lobotomized teammates, I just all daily quests on Checkpoint.
yep arena vsync is still gigafucked a year and half after they broke it lmao

>try out the labs arena map>it fucking sucksNot sure what I was expecting.
>650 Tarcoins in the Tarkov battlepass>400 Tarcoins in the Arena battlepassI'm actually surprised by their generosity considering both passes are free. Though it makes it even funnier that the paid Tactical Map doesn't have Tarcoins in it.

>>581501142>he's funding your server maintainance and motivate these russian fuckers to work more, show some respect.casuals will never understand that whales keep so many games afloat. its a pointless conversation
how is this even possible
>>581502246Why wouldn't it be? Just do a couple of transit runs farming AI and there you go.
>>581502546i thought they nerfed transit xp??
>>581502796What level is he? Level 46 weeklies give like 150+k XP, and if he's prestige 2 or above he gets two of them. Add Arena daily and weekly quests on top of that
>>581503069Arena xp doesn't count bud. he's above the 46 mark but not prestiged. even if he was hoarding quests, the math just doesn't add up.
>>581501142thank u for ur cervix
>>581504045>Arena xp doesn't count budThere are mixed reports on that.
>>581504153i have first hand knowledge that it doesn't count.

I had to check and Black is at like 5m on the flea now compared to every other card ranging from 500k-1m lmaoI remember when Red used to cost like 10 million.
>>581506249You havent played in a while, since they added that room Black is the only card worth running for making money anymore. Red and Violet haven't been good in a loooooong time. Green is still decent for stems at least.
>>581506496Man I always ran Red/Violet/Yellow when I wanted money and Green/Black/Orange when I was on that side for some cash.Does that safe have way higher spawnrates for those types of items? I'd hate to spend that many uses for it to be a bust frequently. Nikita hates good loot rooms, after all.
>>581506249>I remember when Red used to cost like 10 million.I remember when red keycard cost 100 million rubles, lel. Those were the times.
hey nikita fix your fucking game, there are cheaters everywhere.
This "win two arena games in third place or better" is harder than anything I've had to do in PvP so farArena is hell
im doing the labsgibsmedatfofree method and i dont feel any shame at all doing it
>>581499907>>581501142>>581501575i actually wouldn't mind seeing more stuff be purchasable. wouldn't make sense business-wise to make stuff like previous battlepasses unobtainable.
>>581507102Yeah, now that I think about it, in my original wipe, shit was so much more expensive on that front. I recall a friend who every game would want to go to (i think) Shoreline so he could check the red spawns.
>>581500179>erm da game is bad>no i wont say how da game is bad
>>581506249>Black is at like 5m on the flea nowDoing a little math, assuming you're only hitting the new Office with a guaranteed 150k value key.>2 uses is 1/5th of the keycard>1 million rubles per office openYou'd have to make well over a million rubles per raid JUST to justify that single room and not to mention if you go to Red, Yellow, and Violet which are all nearby. Another dud from Nikita.
>>581512839black is not 5m i just bought a 10 use card for 500k on seasonal
>>581513089He's on PvE and said it's 5 million. Massively inflated prices.
>>581479796what the hell is this
>>581513141".....oh"
Anons, do you play on high or low settings?Do you just go for raw performance and visibility cheese via good postFX?Tell me about your settings
>>581513596i don't use postfx but i have everything on low except for graphics which are set on high. pretty much just trying to get as much fps as possible
>>581513596mid textureslow volumetricminimum everything elsei'll crank postfx for night time because fuck nods
>>581513954>i'll crank postfx for night time because fuck nodsExtraordinarily transsexual behavior.
>being a transsexual
>>581514002don't care. i'm on that high speed low effort type shit. you probably larp as BD or something.
>>581513596I minimize anything that would camouflage other players and NPCs. I want to play a shooter, not find the hidden object.
>already starting with the endless gp coin bullshitVery fucking cool
>>581513596i go everything low as possible because the game still looks good even on lowest and it's optimized like shit i've seethed enough at random fps stutters going from 140 to 5 fps during some gun fights.I started using postfx recently and honestly i hate to say it but not using this shit puts you at a massive disadvantage it's just disgusting how big of a difference it makes.
>>581500179uhhhh.......what's so bad about the game exactly? cheaters aside.
>>581512839I think if the raids are good, it should be fine. I admit, 5 mil is more than I wanna spend on ANYTHING but if the loot's solid, who knows. This raid I didn't even make it there and I picked up a super lucky 6 MULEs. >near Black elevator>turn corner>3 dudes silently crouching>"I SEE HIM">pop one in the face>back up>throw grenade>others move>peek again>shoot one dead>think the other is still around>pop the explosive canister>absolutely rends my armor asunder>take less than 1 damage per limb>thought i was far enough away to NOT have that happen>turns out i double headshotted those retards and i blew up my armor for 0 reason
>check the new arena crates>pretty expensive>at least there are less items>actually, there is another fucking crate with the same abysmal cost>dailies still give little to no tokenshow the fuck do they expect me to get all of that shit? playing everyday wasn't enough to earn me everything from the last crate which was cheap as fuck in comparison
>you can't use PP for an RPDN in a custom loadout, but the default RPDN loadout can use it just fineamazing!
>>581516320good boy points
Done with Connections Up North. Probably the worst quest for me so far. Not even the old Assessment Pt. 1 was this much aids.
what should I bring to labs in pve lol
>>581525858a gun
>>581525858MP7 is unironically pretty good for labs if you have AP to burnBosses don't spawn there and raiders usually only have class 4 armorPMC's vary but usually only have class 3 (Personally I think Labs PMC's should wear class 5 or better but that's not the point)Obviously the boring typical answer would just be to bring an M4 or M416
Sanitar should spawn in Labs.
>>581525858buy keycards and bring two injectors cases.
why do pve niggas need guides, dont they just run in and kill scavs?
>>581532378Tarkov players are not good at FPS games. PvE players are people terrified of playing against Tarkov players.
So is it not possible to complete Payback if Ghulkar only spawns at Lighthouse right now?
>>581524903just read what this quest is about and doesn't seem so bad apart from it being twenty kills. actually seems relaxing if you take your time just laying in wait on top of places like dome.
>>581524903I camped customs green flare before it got widened and streets green flare from the 2nd and 3rd story windows of pinewood. AXMC ap only.
>>581525973>he can't do labs with only a knife
the fact that the season pass documents need stash space adds insult to injury
>>581533793Ok just attempted it anyways and went to WTP.For some reason only one guard spawned I don't think I got any task progress.
The worst part of the new arena pass is all of the shitters who play the game like fucking niggers. Ran into a guy who would just prone out on random corners of the map. It's arena. There's nothing lost when you actually play the game you fucking scum.
>here's your average arena team mates bro
>>581538492>>581540145Shut up! Shut the fuck up!
what cpus do you guys have?I am doing an overhaul of my pc and just purchased a 7800x3d. I'm starting to get buyers remorse and wish I spent the $100 more on the 9800x3d
>>581547840Ryzen 5700x. No complaints.
>>581547840Intel ultra 9 285k
>15/35 player on LH, sitting motionless wherever he stopped>20/33 player on LH, sitting motionless on the little hutI have died way too many times to both of them and lost first place by 2 fucking kills
>>581547840Not sure you'll really get that much appreciable difference on a 9800X3D vs a 7800X3D if the $100 means something to you.
BACKPACKLESS SCAV NIGGA WHEN I'M TRYING TO GET MY BD CRATES TO DIE MISERABLY LOOKING FOR BD ON STREETS AND SHORELINE FOR A 3RD WEEK IN A ROW????? NUH UHH YOUR HEAD SHALL GET CRUSHED WITH TAGILLAS SLEDGEHAMMER AND BE POSTED THROUGHOUT TELEGRAM
>>581549473The thing is $100 isn't a lot but I am just autistic with trying to get the best deals and not over buy stuff
>>581549918The game has been optimized enough that I say that the 9800x3d is not needed anymore, unless you're a retard gaming in 4kI have a 9070XT and a 5800XT playing on 2k and i get around 70fps on streets now, minus some parts or whenever I bring a scope
I really like the new arena helmet skins, but I cant bring myself to wear an altyn, it's like the equivalent of hanging a pride flag on my wall, the ronin not so much but I hate those little fag raycons they force you to wear
>scavLORD into Factory>spawn in the offices>lot of running and footsteps everywhere>walk forward two steps>angry hammer Russian yells>all the scavs start shooting me>just let go of the mouse and keyboard and watch them slowly disintegrate my arms to deathWhatever man
>>581550402It's so retarded how everyone becomes hostile if sledge niggas spots you, I think he either should be hostile to everyone in labs, or just completely make scavs ignore you
>>581549786You got the piki blindors cap though so you ought to count your blessings
>>581550529his execution was postponed, I forgot the Rig has a 2x2 slot.
>>581550084What are your lows though? 70 avg fps is pretty bad

What's the lore reason for why you get an MIA if you stay past the time limit?
>>581555868just think about it like Tagilla does
I RATTED FOR SO FUCKING LONG TO GET MY LAST TWO SETUP KILLS, THESE GUYS ARE SO FUCKING MAD
>>581555868The dudes presumably manning the posts stop allowing entry, or the guys waiting to pick you can't stick around for any longer, or your clone just gets lost and wanders the Bidenforest for eternity like the ending of True Detective S3.
>>581555868you die to the pscav hoard
Starting to lose faith in shotguns, pirhana rounds feeling like wet noodles somehow no matter where i shoot whether its legs or center mass.I wanna try out slugs a bit instead bros what are some good slug rounds to use?
>>581556609friend, shotguns haven't been good for at least 3 years
>>581555868Same lore reason your guy starts dying if he doesn't get a juice and snack break every half hour.
>>581556940I dont expect them to be good just trying to figure out a set up that feels serviceable, had dudes just tank 3-5 of my shots consistently which feels awful when i can just go any full auto and get a headshot in half the timeframe if not faster.guess ill try slugs and high dmg buck leg meta and see if they feel any better.
>>581557286Either you run express and fish for face shots or leg people, or you run flechette. Magnum got fucked into the dirt with an insane recoil nerf, but can still work in extreme close quarters or out of the aa-12.. Basically every other shell is worthless
>>581557286as the anon said, you either use Express, Flechette, which sucks equally since everyone is running lvl 5 minimum, or you run AP-20 slugs from god knows where you find it
HUGEhttps://x.com/nikgeneburn/status/2101190581854552528
>>581556609do not use slugs, even AP20s will let you down. magnum is the one true god.
I both hate it and think it's kinda kino how playing Woods as a new player is really like getting lost in the fucking woods. Especially when I'm playing with friends and I'm the only one who has a map up trying to navigate while tard wrangling them when they get distracted and wander off. I feel like a camp counselor in a horror movie that got lost chasing after some retarded kids.
>>581557992No map can get near the kinoness of woods
I like icebreaker the most and wish I could just run it back endlessly and get good that way. I'll never be better than thousand hour sweats

>>581557687>deletes death shadows Holy BASED
>>581563494It's not really an advantage, it's more of a preference since you sacrifice FOV for it. You could make the same argument for 16:9 being a crutch because you have a better FOV.
>>581562963>I want the game to focus more on PVP, but I would NEVER EVER EVER EVER play ArenaEvery time.

>>581564297>>581564456you guys just want to play rust
>>581563494You can just lower your FOV to get that same advantage. People playing 4:3 in this game do it because they prefer how it feels.

I did half on Factory with .366 AP-M and the Zeus night scope and the other half on woods with the axmc. Was too jewish to use AP, though. Bless all players who still run raids naked to get one tapped.
Is there any good place to scav for 5.56? One scav run and I got hundreds of good 5.45 but I can't find 5.56 worth a shit.
>list a pistol grip for ~10700 roubles>it lists in dollars>not even a confirmation>like 3 mil roubles in listing fee stolenOkay sureAnd I just saw someone else do the same thing but 70-something thousand dollars for a handguard
is BD spawn rate 35% on all map now? I swear I have never seen them on ground zero and only twice on shoreline.

>>581570020>holding corners is too strongThat is absolutely not the case, considering how busted desync and peeker's advantage are.
I genuinely can't imagine being homosexually gay enough to just sit on top of the boxes at the purple circled X for half a fucking hour waiting for someone to come through on night streets, my approximate direction in green. I came from the other side of the map. Boggles the fucking mind. Prestige 1 using SP-6 by the way. To sit in a corner for hours and hours.
>>581576013it's the Unemployed's mindset, you won't understand.
>>581576013How do you know he was there for half an hour?
>>581576612I took that area really slow because I felt like there was probably going to be someone there. Checked left when I should have checked right unfortunately. But so it was extremely unlikely he was passing through towards my direction since that's a really weird pathing at that point in the raid (not impossible I guess but extremely unlikely), he couldn't have just come from Kaban because they were still up and AGS'ing the intersection shortly before this (which is why I didn't take the road like I usually do), and he was sat right on top of the wooden crates which would be impossible to do without being heard from a significant distance and he didn't peek his head over the fence which he could have easily done while I was crossing the open space towards it so he's a cowardly little niggerfuck. It gave a strong impression that this is what he does, just sits on the crates and waits.I really wish they would do a post-raid movement map after raids end, like I think PUBG does, so we could see what happened in these kinds of situations.
>>581577151He could've been waiting for BDs to show up, I've seen them there a few times.>I really wish they would do a post-raid movement map after raids end, like I think PUBG does, so we could see what happened in these kinds of situations.wud b cool, maybe in 5 years or so.
>>581577151>>581577248This is one of those features which, when added, will make you wonder how the fuck anybody ever played the game without it. Like the quest item compass, or fast matchmaking, or the squad spectator cam I guess.
>>581579518I think it will never be added because it'll expose how bad the cheater situation is.
