[worn finch]

Does killing Santa as a pmc tank your rep?

[wintry notch]

no

[broken gull]

[sharp obsidian]

Its random but above 6

can tank it

[sharp obsidian]

sometimes the drop take a while to....appear?

[broken gull]

fair, i'll wait ig, i barely got the one i did redeem earlier just now

[sharp obsidian]

yea, i redeemed 2-3, launched the game, did 2 games, and just got my 10 bp points

[civic plank]

im still waiting on the link from PvP to PVE for the link between them

[cyan dock]

[proper spoke]

Oh that's fun I just noticed that weapon mastery for the SR-25 is broken. I've been using it for several days and gotten zero mastery points.

[supple island]

you should play nikita and listen to him caughing all the time so you cant hear anything

[steel heath]

one of my friends uses the nikita voice pack

[supple island]

@karmic nexus

[lunar loom]

hi where is goons rn?

[steel heath]

Shoreline. Use a goontracker.

[sharp obsidian]

nikita voice pack goes hard

[supple island]

if only you could use english as bear

[steel heath]

you say that and I suddenly hear "Enemy spotted" in a russian accent

[supple island]

either usec nikita or bear english

[steel heath]

go up gamer

bear I dropped a bit ago had a semagh and nothing else. pardon me but just the semagh and no hat, glasses or no, is a terrorist fit

[sharp obsidian]

prolly got looted no?

[steel heath]

No, I killed the guy and that's all he had

no semagh, terrorist, semagh and an airframe tho, immediately peak gwot fit

[karmic jetty]

Anyone got a spare pkp laying around?

[loud schooner]

anyone else seeing cultists in the daytime? just died to them on lighthouse mid day lol

[sharp obsidian]

lighthouse moment

[steel heath]

lighthouse is a map of all time

[spiral pecan]

you sure that was a cultist and not a rogue or sm

what was their name

they dont even spawn on lighthouse

[sharp obsidian]

prolly zry guard lol

[finite tide]

hey it you

[loud schooner]

no it was sektant killed me and zherets killed my partner cultists 100%

[jaunty notch]

unless its changed in 1.0 they spawn at scav village between midnight-6am

[pallid merlin]

man the new EXP reqs make the game feel a bit like a drag

[steel heath]

Zryaichy's men, then.

[spiral pecan]

wait were u fighting the snipers on the island

[spiral pecan]

they dont

[loud schooner]

i have lightkeeper and have been there many times i never die?

[spiral pecan]

the only cultists on lighthouse are zryachiys guards

[loud schooner]

no standing on the rocks across from the island tho

[warm sentinel]

one of your guys probably don't have the encoder

[loud schooner]

so if they dont have one they kill me as well just for being on the map?

[warm sentinel]

yes

[loud schooner]

oof bing lol

bingo*

[warm sentinel]

well, kinda, depends if you or one of your guys have shot at them.

[loud schooner]

thats gotta be it hes low lvl lol

no i was killing a pmc on the road when they started shooting us

[warm sentinel]

Cultists are not on Lighthouse at least, and the only people with "Sektant" names you'll find there, is the Zryachiy guards.

[sharp obsidian]

your bullet prolly hit one of em somehow

[vernal meteor]

best way to farm cultists?

customs i assume,

[spiral pecan]

yup

woods has %5 more chance but it fucking sucks to find and fight them there

[vernal meteor]

yeah id rather know where they'd be spawning yk, customs is probably the best atp

[gentle lake]

some people claim that BSG servers on customs are more likely to spawn cultists than Local games, but who knows how true that is, I've seen them on both

[earnest cliff]

does kollontay still make your weapon jam?

[spiral pecan]

yes

[sharp obsidian]

thats his shtick

[spiral pecan]

not true

[steel heath]

#screenshots message

[vernal meteor]

ive just never ran into cultists lol

[warm sentinel]

huh, is that a thing?

[vernal meteor]

yeah if its not open bolt, if im not mistaken, he jams your gun and fatigues you

[spiral pecan]

mhm

if he runs at you with his baton out your gun will jam if its not an open bolt

really fucking stupid

[warm sentinel]

hahaha wtf, lmao

never had that happen

[vernal meteor]

PPSh, some shotguns, boltys work

you gotta be fairly close to him for him to run at you tho

[steel heath]

the game explains it as you having a panic attack

[vernal meteor]

LMAO

[steel heath]

that's literally the name of the status effect

[warm sentinel]

I usually attack them from the backrooms, getting them in to a choke for easy kills

But that explains why Kollontay is so eager to run up towards me 😂

[vernal meteor]

hes got the same combat system as tagilla

basically\

[gentle lake]

omg I finally got my PKP

[steel heath]

thoughts on the tkpd, chat?

[warm sentinel]

banger

[steel heath]

made one at the tree so I'm taking it to lighthouse

I have had nice results with the g28 on woods so I'm expecting the same sort of deal

mounted a 1x-8x instead of the 3x-20x I found last raid to it

[bright sand]

wanna know about this too

[civic plank]

RSASS on steroids

[gentle lake]

fun with FMJ, absolutely busted if you have any 7N33 you found

[bright sand]

i guess the only weakness is indoors/ CQB right?

[steel heath]

That is dealt with by the SBR you keep on your back.

[vernal meteor]

cultists on customs should spawn in stronghold right

[steel heath]

most likely.

[vernal meteor]

3 raids and nothing

:/

[steel heath]

Damn! This beast has a kick to it.

[steel heath]

multiple night customs with the dudes, nothing eithe

[cosmic patrol]

For fucks sakes. I got further than I have ever been on terminal, and instead of having to fight 4 BD, i fight 5... where the fuck did the 5th one come from god damn

[vagrant crypt]

before i wiped, the way i got it done is go check, nothing. alt f4

[steel heath]

#screenshots message CQC isn't a problem if it's semi auto at least. Also I think I got a collat on 2 guys...

[soft trail]

what rigs/armor do you guys run

[cosmic patrol]

I killed 16 BD... when I only had 2 spawn at keycard, 4 from armory... where the fuck did the other ones come from

[soft trail]

where my osprey enjoyers at

[steel heath]

that can't happen when I'm with the t5k, huh...

[vernal meteor]

my boy why is that shit so heavy now 😭

[steel heath]

Nowhere, the osprey's ass.

[cosmic patrol]

but it does seem i am getting more consistent with being able to fight BD, WE ARE MAKING PROGRESS! Alcohol = progress, that is the conclusion i have come to rn

[vernal meteor]

proud of u brother, you got this

[steel heath]

if I use a rig it's a CPC, it's what I wear to labs. Otherwise it's an MPPV with some kind of IOTV, Korund, or even one of my 3 heavy armors

[cosmic patrol]

get drunk when you are going for terminal. It helps.

[spiral pecan]

overrated

[cosmic patrol]

You take your time and are able to kill 16 BD without any issues, until one pops up from narnia

[cosmic patrol]

I need your opinion on my gear.

[spiral pecan]

and also its 3 slots wide because you have a scope with a top rmr mount

[spiral pecan]

send it in screenshots

[steel heath]

ah. that tiny little thing makes it 3 tall? Faq.

[cosmic patrol]

the MDR burns dura surprisingly quick idk why

could it be the dragon muzzle brake?

or is it just MDR shenanigans

[spiral pecan]

FUCK your heavy

[cosmic patrol]

cause I did manage to get 16 BD with it, without having it jam

[cosmic patrol]

Have to be, i burn thru so much ammo. Its funny 69 tho. it aight

you know after the container yeah? I managed to gather 16 BD kills by that time, had 1 more but he got me thru car glass. So 17 BD....

[spiral pecan]

do you have mai ap in that mk47

[sharp obsidian]

Could change that zabralo for like a gen4 or thor ic

[cosmic patrol]

Yes. MAI AP

[spiral pecan]

i wouldnt bring 2 guns

[cosmic patrol]

really?

[spiral pecan]

if u really need a second one just grab one off BD

[cosmic patrol]

Ah. Valid

I might just make it the MDR and a fuck load of 60-40 rounders

cause the MDR is the only gun I used for this run, and I got further than I have ever been

but would you recommend switching out the MDR? It burns dura insanely quick idk why

[spiral pecan]

i used the cpc mod 1. neck protection does not matter much

[steel heath]

there is a joke I could make but if nobody here also likes gfl they wouldn't get it

[sharp obsidian]

gfl?

[spiral pecan]

if you dont wanna jam a fuck ton yes lol

[cosmic patrol]

what would you switch it to

M4 or HK?

[sharp obsidian]

hk is a better m4 no?

[cosmic patrol]

Idk, I personally like the M4 a bit more than the HK, but im special, I like the TX the best out of all 5.56 lmfao, but I want quick firerate for terminal

gotta mow down a lot

[sharp obsidian]

model1

[spiral pecan]

ew

[sharp obsidian]

frfr

[steel heath]

...you ever see one of those tweets saying "Fuck your guns?"

[orchid crest]

M4 / HK comes down to preference for me

[steel heath]

I don't like the handguards the 416 gets.

[cosmic patrol]

Ill make me an HK build, ill try it tomorrow morning.

[orchid crest]

Both do great slightly differently and it’s whatever fits you best

[steel heath]

then again I put a CQR grip on mine cause I'm a reprobate.

[spiral pecan]

can these cultists fuckin spawn

gosh DAMN

[steel heath]

are you also on that step of they are already here

[spiral pecan]

nah just hunting them for funsies

[half spindle]

are twitch drops still active

[spiral pecan]

i got that shit done in a day when they buffed the spawnrates lol was nice

[spiral pecan]

arena drops i believe?

[candid brook]

just got kappa, is there anything to do with my gamma case now? or should i just sell it

[spiral pecan]

put it on ur gear rack

[half spindle]

ive tried cultist farming before but its just like

20% chance spawn, they are quiet, and tend to run off quickly

[steel heath]

can be tough even with goon goggles

[spiral pecan]

its 25% for 20% maps now and 30% on woods and also they got louder footsteps now

[candid brook]

didnt even notice they had a slot for them. good idea

[steel heath]

I don't wannnnnnnna go to priozersk...

[half spindle]

well its hard to tell if they even do spawn because 70% of the time they just cant be found, maybe you accidentally run into them but almost never on purpose

[lavish socket]

evening lads, how are the raidds today

questionk, do you guys usually run solo or with a party?

[finite tide]

really good

[half spindle]

i need keys, cant buy them from the flea, and im stuck with these damn pnv-10t goggles

[steel heath]

bit of both. I have enough friends to be able to assemble a full stack on occassion and a 4 stack is even easier but most of mine are solo

[candid brook]

I have just been spam running customs and hanging out in fortress, you can usually see their legs sticking out on that map so its not too hard to spot them, and If they arent there I fill up on fortress loot, shoot my XMAS flare and exfil at the green flare next to it

[steel heath]

just got off of an abysmal lighthouse run, this one here is... better. So far.

[cosmic patrol]

I mostly run solo, unless I need a door opened and someone has a key for it

[brave current]

ight im giving up on finding cultist priests, imma just hit terminal early. how much gear should i bring? ive tried to not spoil it for myself by seeing other people play through it. any recommended gear?

[lavish socket]

Man i wish i played enough to run with a active party

[cosmic patrol]

You need a lot. I'd say asking @spiral pecan is your best bet, he is one smart ass man

[small wadi]

Lot of 50 pen ammo

[steel heath]

I am the second highest level of my gang and 3 of them including the highest level were playing before 1.0

[brave current]

also i saw something on the for humanity ending that you DONT need all of the story completed

[cosmic patrol]

Meatshield is the reason I have gotten even past the armory for fuckin terminal lmfao.

as well as Kurumi ofc

[modern lichen]

does Labrys have to be done for the humanity ending ?

[spiral pecan]

Level 5-6 plates. preferably level 6 gac 4sss2's. keep another 2 in ur backpack as extras to swap out if urs get fucked. also need a toolset. helmet wise bring VI's and a bastion+armor plate or a FAST MT+SLAAP plate. altyns are pretty useless they wont stop much

[sharp obsidian]

only the storyline

[brave current]

i think it was that and accidental witness ius what i saw

[modern lichen]

k, ty!

[brave current]

what's the toolset for? also thanks

[spiral pecan]

BD use level 5-6 plates and 4-6 penetration ammo mostly 5-6 so you can swap some of their shit for yours if you want. Gun wise use a hk416/m4 with lots of m995 AND DO NOT USE A SUPPRESSOR UR DURABILITY WILL BURN LIKE CRAZY AND UR SHIT WILL JAM UP. i used m993 out of an ak308 which wasnt smart but i was experienced in terminal so

[brave current]

lmfao im ngl i almost started loading in with my mppv full of 40 rounder mp7's with fmj/ap

[spiral pecan]

you need to repair 1 of 2 random panels to drain something that'll allow you to access a key

[brave current]

noted to ttake somehting better

[spiral pecan]

mp7 is a VERY bad idea

ammo will burn up quick and flesh damage sucks butt

they have 40 head hp and like 170 thorax

[brave current]

is mppv good rig or too much?

[rancid tundra]

Arena player?

[spiral pecan]

send a picture of ur kit in screenshots btw. and a mppv is fine

[brave current]

yeah

[steel heath]

BOTH THE SAFES WERE EMPTY AGAIN
I HATE LIGHTHOUSE I HATE LIGHTHOUSE

[rancid tundra]

[oak scaffold]

I need a pkp

[steel heath]

WHICH OF YOU TOLD ME TO RUN THIS FOR COFDMS

[brave current]

will do

[steel heath]

[brave current]

i use mp7 or model1 right now

[rancid tundra]

Mainstream

[oak scaffold]

Just scav in and check chalet

[steel heath]

fuck is the mod1 even based on

[brave current]

hey i throw the ash12 in there but people dont like that

[oak scaffold]

The like 8 spawns at the upper chalet spawns one like every other raid

[jovial cobalt]

its just an m4

[rancid tundra]

Where is all of those old folks with shotguns aks-74 etc

[jovial cobalt]

a custom m4 receiver and some other parts unique to the radian like handguard and blah blah

the actual model 1

not fictional

search the name up the website will pop up at the top

[steel heath]

but what is that gun closest to

[rancid tundra]

Model 2 is ak btw

[oak scaffold]

I wonder how much they paid BSG to put the model 1 in and make it god tier in arena

[young frost]

go to reserve. found 2 in like 3-4 raids last night

[jovial cobalt]

its just an m4

[spiral pecan]

no cultists 4 times in a row aghhh

well

kit looks fine to me

[jovial cobalt]

got sum stims to raise str to elite to skip grabbing c4?

[spiral pecan]

you cant skip it

with stims

[jovial cobalt]

NOOOOO

ill still try it either way because im stubborn but thats the furthest i got was between the gate and grabbing c4

[mortal bough]

wheres the best place to find gas analyzers?

[halcyon plover]

interchange tech stores or reserve in the drop down room near barracks

[brave current]

yeah actually what stims do i need? cause my ic is filled with propital, sj6, etg, mule, and zag

[jovial cobalt]

that's generally what i was running

[spiral pecan]

oh yeah js gonna say this dont go crazy grabbing all this gear cuz u cant extract with the gear u get from there

ur kit gets rolled back

[jovial cobalt]

sj6 to help not waste time running and stims for bleed stopping and propital for pk

[small wadi]

Sj12 wouldn’t be bad idea either but there’s plenty of food/water everywhere tho

[slender wolf]

if your rich pop a melodin every raid

[brave current]

bruh

[spiral pecan]

i know its stupid

[vagrant crypt]

well i just survived labs 3x and santa is still on me. wtf. why would they make the penalty so high for killing santa and fucker is laser locked onto me

[spiral pecan]

and makes literally no sense

[brave current]

i actually just figured out what bd meant in your name ngl i was not pieceing that together

[slender wolf]

idk man santa never locks on me and i always kill him:>

[spiral pecan]

fart

[brave current]

big dump

[vagrant crypt]

what about the fence rep penalty

[slender wolf]

it got removed

[vagrant crypt]

oh interesting!!! thanks! im gonna waste this fucker

[jovial cobalt]

i hope they expand on BD for future events or content or dlcs or anything

[pseudo tulip]

content goldmine they gotta

[slender wolf]

keep in mind he still have the boss's health

so mag dump him dont tap

he will one shot you if you miss

[spiral pecan]

scream at nikita and make it happen

[jovial cobalt]

im personally aight with not being able to get any of BDs stuff since they're still very new and spooky and we dont know much about em yet

[bright sand]

it only drops if your fence rep is above 6

[vagrant crypt]

thanks, if i get him. does he continue to hunt me raid after raid?

[slender wolf]

he never does really, if he do then its just bsg bug

[brave current]

also, @spiral pecan i dont have ANY skills elite right now, should i bring food cause my metab is only level 38 rn

[jovial cobalt]

supposedly santa is connected to rogues so if you kill a rogue, he will aggro you for the next 3 raids

[rancid tundra]

Water bro

[jovial cobalt]

no idea how tru that is though

[spiral pecan]

theres spots to eat throughout terminal even as soon as you get in

[rancid tundra]

You will beed to water so bad.

[vagrant crypt]

more than 3, i survived on labs 3x

still after me

[rancid tundra]

Food is like everywhere

[primal harbor]

not true

[jovial cobalt]

dayumm

[jovial cobalt]

there we go then

[rancid tundra]

He wanna misinformator the second

[dire stone]

Hey haven’t wiped yet but i have max everything even light keeper. Should i wipe now or wait

[rancid tundra]

Wipe

[spiral pecan]

idk about santa but i know ruaf share rogue aggression which is really stupid

[rancid tundra]

Wipe wipe wipe

[spiral pecan]

SPEAKING OF @brave current

[rancid tundra]

Wiiiiipe

[primal harbor]

i killed quite a few rogues, then ran customs and santa waved me right over and gave me Whiskey

[jovial cobalt]

id wipe if u havent for 1.0, there will only be more content u will not be able to access as time goes on imo

[pseudo tulip]

its funny cause misinformator and i were farming lighthouse lastnight and santa was on sighting us. we were clearing wtp

[brave current]

i dont ever slump santa so am i chill then

[half spindle]

hot take but ai's shouldnt get unlimited ammo

[spiral pecan]

if u have killed rogues recently ruaf might kill you

[pseudo tulip]

if u wanna see a funny clip heres misinformator getting in the train and i was too late #videos message

[rancid tundra]

Scav was running fast as hell. I killed him. Looted. And got tank battery.

But I can't run as fast as him

Not fair

[trim kettle]

Nikita is russian kojima btw

[spiral pecan]

false

[brave current]

i have ran less than 20 lighthouse runs out of my 300 so far and also i cant find an evasion armband still

[rancid tundra]

Not even close

[spiral pecan]

i am the russian kojima

[dire stone]

I really dont look forward to quests like shooter born and anything on streets

[rancid tundra]

Just wipe then

[coral cargo]

question for those that have been finding cultist: what map are you guys running and are you on BSG or local servers? i've ran night customs on BSG at least 100 (not an exageration) and have only seen cultist once this wipe

[hoary stag]

finally started the stupid solar power after doing 10x reserve for the last stupid easa board xDDD

[rancid tundra]

Waiting for players 5 mins and returning to matchmaking. Arena is so dead...

[pseudo tulip]

grats dood, high value investment

[hoary stag]

so thursday its time for btc 3

[spiral pecan]

customs and it does not matter between the two servers

their spawnrate is like 25% on customs

[rancid tundra]

I got them local shoreline and customs

[coral cargo]

so i must just be the most unlucky person

[rancid tundra]

Or Nikita reduced spawn like he did with loot

[hoary stag]

thx, took longer than i planned, but rl kept me from 24/7 tarkov xDDD

[coral cargo]

i run night customs nonstop and run straight to crack/fortress/ref building and never see them

[rancid tundra]

Dorm is ref building now?

[coral cargo]

no the one for provide veiwership

[spiral pecan]

do not ever say that again.

[rancid tundra]

Dorm is Nikita's building

[hoary stag]

I thought nikita lives at the sewers exit in streets

[half spindle]

also is ammo/armor bugged?

i keep getting shot like my t6 plates arent even there when being shot by 27 pen ammo, meanwhile my own 45 pen ammo is doing NOTHING to headshots on dudes laying on the ground

[coral cargo]

i literall just wanna finish hell on earth and broadcast part 5 but i never find cultist

[brave current]

throat hitbox maybe

[half spindle]

i found cultists on my first run, shot one of them in the head 3 times before they stood up, saw blood and everything, they got up and ran away, i walked forward slowly, dude blacks out 3 limbs, and almost kills me outright while i had 90% cover

[hoary stag]

the only interesting bug was a sp-5 thorax kill from a scav or guard while I was wearing a Korund with t5-6 plates.... 🤔

And somehow it felt like my SPP ammo was doing no damage to their t3 helmets sometimes

but that was reserve, before I did labs a few times and everything was working fine

[coral cargo]

i just don't understand why they're so hard to find this wipe, last wipe i found them all the time

[half spindle]

not even that, it feels like there was a ghost patch to make enemy ammo and armor more effective

and its pissing me off when i shoot a scav in the chest 6 times just for them to walk away

[hoary stag]

cultists are the only reliable source for maked keys imho, thats why they probably lowered their spawnrate

[coral cargo]

check every jacket on factory, i promise you you will find marked keys there

thats where i got all mine from

[half spindle]

after the rooms got nerfed to all hell its not even worth it

[hoary stag]

ok, I baely do factory bcs I am not a fan of small maps, but will give it a try later, thx

[coral cargo]

i'm waiting for the christmas tress to go away because thats messing up my dorm 314 key

[sharp reef]

uhhhh interesting... I somehow triggered the mines along the fence at kaban entrance by crawling on the opposite side of the street. I'm well aware of the boundaries of those mines and I was nearly the furthest from them you could possibly be

[half spindle]

wym?

[coral cargo]

they wont spawn every raid but run it a few times and check the scavs bags/pockets too

[hoary stag]

well, i was in bk and vo at reserve, bk was ass, vo had 4 assault rifles, blue labs, keycase and some other stuff, next try vo is nearly empty, its crazy

[coral cargo]

supposedly because the tree is at dorms, its lowering the amount of loot that spawns in 314 because the ornaments count has high value loot

[half spindle]

unironically i like factory the most, people hate close quarters maps for some reason even tho thats legit the only map im able to perform consistiently well on. i really dont like the gunplay in this game, especially with bosses, guards, and cultists ai just having aimbot and the strangest movement patters known to man

[coral cargo]

and only so much high val loot can spawn in an area

[brave current]

man i got path to lighthouse spawn for my first terminal run

[half spindle]

i got a god damn TOZ from my latest dorm marked room

[pseudo tulip]

rip, how heavy?

[brave current]

52

[hoary stag]

christmas event is annoying, but i am way more annoyed from all these stupid figurines at labs, all the tech spots are full with freaking figurines, annoying af

[coral cargo]

last time i opened dorms i got a key case, bitcoin, red keycard and a few asvals

and that was this morning

[brave current]

my endurance and strength is 18 and 25 only too so im fucked

[solid nebula]

Is it possible that NO rogues spawned at the treatment plant?

[pseudo tulip]

yeah thats rough lol

[young frost]

yeaj

[coral cargo]

yea

[half spindle]

in my 10 uses ive gotten:

docs case
black keycard
black keycard
and a black keycard

[hoary stag]

toz in marked is the game throwing "your mum jokes" towards you xD

[vagrant crypt]

thanks i just wasted him. no penalties

[half spindle]

[hoary stag]

abnd factory on streets sometimes has 3 cards in one opening, other time there is some whisper ammo and some shit rifles

[half spindle]

not even joking either lol

im actually a dumbass

[half spindle]

its was the 1123 i think, the total sell value in that room was about 250k

[finite tide]

god the bosses suck in this game

love losing my kit cause i get instantly head tapped by them

[brave current]

i might actually delay my terminal run til tomorow cause i do not have as much time as i though

[hoary stag]

its only ai and ez to cheese if they dont have a chance to use their "300m through foliage view" @finite tide

[pseudo tulip]

which boss?

[hoary stag]

do it when you are awake, makes it much more enjoyable @brave current

[finite tide]

fat ass at the mall on streets

[pseudo tulip]

ahhh lol

im sorry

[hoary stag]

ok, yes, he's a B

[soft trail]

bosses are so on and off

sanitar and his whole squad couldn't hit me out in the open and shturman doesn't even look at me when i shoot him

[hoary stag]

sometimes they just stand there, when your firrst long distance shot misses, the run 2m and stand still again xD

[finite tide]

bosses suck its either their ai is broken or they aim bot you so you have to do some dumb ass cheese

[torn pendant]

is the stupid frostbite event over finally?

[pseudo tulip]

i remember encountering shturman in 2018 for the first time and getting instantly headshot

[finite tide]

yeah

[torn pendant]

FINALLYY

[soft trail]

he put a switch on the svd

[hoary stag]

but they only gud I really fear is birdeye on shore, when you spawn close to the weather station

[earnest cliff]

when does the christmas tree go away?

[soft trail]

big pipe pushed me on shoreline but knight and birdeye were nowhere to be seen and didn't shoot at me at all

[finite tide]

i think they said the 18th

its the 19th

[earnest cliff]

ok good, need me at least 1 more ledx, thought I saw 11th for some reason

[hoary stag]

one. more. week. 🙁

at least some moe free mules an vals

[knotty bay]

Gunsmith part 9 unlocks at lvl 20?

[warped imp]

Sooooo, Either I got a bug, or the Obdolbos Cocktail Injector kills you

I injected it into me and my chacter just died

[knotty bay]

50% chance

[finite tide]

theres a chance it kills you

[hoary stag]

lol the obdolbos 1 can

[warped imp]

Wow.....fuck me then lol

[hoary stag]

i never touch it

[warped imp]

Lost my good shit

[finite tide]

to be fair it does tell you that it can kill you

[hoary stag]

yes, dont gamble with this stim

[stone harbor]

either you become a supersoldier, or you die

[hoary stag]

just sell it

[stone harbor]

fair trade imho

[hoary stag]

I can surive raids without being a super soldier, so why should I gamble if I can survive the next 10 min from a stim

[steel heath]

GOT A COFDM IN RADAR

[finite tide]

yay

[hoary stag]

congrats

[finite tide]

going back to streets to hopefully get my revenge

also need kabans pkm

[steel heath]

my scav earlier spawned with an obdolbos 1

[hoary stag]

around rb-st there can be a spawn as well

[steel heath]

decided "what the hell" and shot up
i rolled the -600 hp regen

[stone harbor]

the 25% hit ppl that easily huh

[steel heath]

If only I could hit wheel of fortune that consistently

[finite tide]

i got mine in the new room even after the nerf i would get them like very other raid

[steel heath]

[stone harbor]

I just took the other option everytime I got it, the 100% chance for Roubbles

[steel heath]

I would never have done it on pmc

[finite tide]

fill your inventory with them and you and a friend play a game of cocktail roulette

[pseudo tulip]

once i cleared labrys and walked onto poison wire, so i pressed the white injector thinking its xtg just to die to an empty labrys and obdolbdos 1

[steel heath]

[steel heath]

what the fuck were you doing with one of sanitar's doom needles in along with your antidotes

[pseudo tulip]

its like doing the quest mentor, expensive lesson learned

[pseudo tulip]

i find on the ground and loot hog it

[sharp obsidian]

Fair price would like a word

[hoary stag]

I guess even Fenta irl is safer than this xDDD

[pseudo tulip]

prapors escape money 💀

[steel heath]

fent will just kill you, no doubts

[sharp obsidian]

When he hates you*

[pseudo tulip]

btw i just step foot on lighthouse for the first time, i got here like 2 secs ago ty again it was fun

[hoary stag]

yes, but 2 guys with filled obdolbos stimboxes will die no matterr what as well xD
with fent you can be lucky, have some low quality and "only" end up in hospital ^^

[civic plank]

u died?

[pseudo tulip]

no i crossed the bridge for the first time, yesterday we ran light house together doing key to the tower and other 2 tasks

[fathom stag]

is there a goontracker that works ?

[hoary stag]

but I would still rather try to the obdol boxes ingame than fent irl

[sharp obsidian]

@dull badge hey ik its been 2h, i wanted to add, if youre not at 6 rep with fence, some bosses that have guards, the guards will do a hand gesture of « move forward » and not « come to me » its their way of warning you to get away before they shoot you

[civic plank]

but u died tho? thats what I fucking asked....

[sharp obsidian]

I did my tasks on arena, gonna go do lk tasks after my food

[pseudo tulip]

i answered at the start of my response

[sharp obsidian]

[wintry spindle]

Im doing price of independence, and im on reserve, but at this point i have killed 5 PMCs and its completed the subtask for Skier's side of it, am I still OK to plant the letter and complete it for BTR driver?

[civic plank]

so, theres a thing, called coma

[hoary stag]

Anyway, good hunting everyone and have a good night 😉

[pseudo tulip]

yea yea keep being illiterate like lucy, move on

[civic plank]

[finite tide]

[scarlet pier]

thanks cultists #screenshots message

[civic plank]

damm....when me?

[meager coyote]

Green one bad

[marsh wing]

where can i find the Shyska tree stuff???

[ivory lily]

crimas tree or flea

[royal depot]

duffle bags, and maybe filing cabinets too

[marsh wing]

what is everyone using for farming ornaments and presents?

[meager coyote]

Santa can drop it to you as well

[meager coyote]

Ornaments hang from trees and presents can be found either around them (on customs at least idk other maps) and scavs can have presents. Santa can drop those too

[scarlet pier]

I dont even need it... oh well I guess I can keep it for the day I get to do Bitcoin Farm 3

[civic plank]

u might as well get them at a time on circle again and get the key

and on the day u go to woods and get the battery again

[minor elbow]

is pktps nerfed in pve or wtf is going on, 12 uses 0 cofdm

[sharp obsidian]

All loose loot nerfed

[pseudo tulip]

where were all these pmcs last night when you needed them @sharp obsidian

#screenshots message

[minor elbow]

fun

[sharp obsidian]

you were hiding them from me huh

[minor elbow]

im so tired of looking for cofdms

[royal depot]

I think I got every one I needed from the cultists >.>

[minor elbow]

i only killed one on customs so far then they despawned, i wasnt even looking for them just queued 5:20 lol

[solar pewter]

3 tapped with PS while wearing class class 3 soft class 6

Boy oh boy this is fun

[royal depot]

I meant the hideout circle, not on cultist kills

Unrelated, has anyone seen those 3 gooners? I have been running customs but no sightings

[minor elbow]

30 14hr timers no 6hr so far

my luck is insane this wipe

[royal depot]

That is big unlucky, rubber ducky.

[minor elbow]

accidentally accepted drip out 1 but finished the handing over before i got a 6hr timer once soo

[fathom stag]

do any of the goon trackers work ?

[pseudo tulip]

sorry i meant to respond this to u instead of queen. in regards to finding the skybridge on streets for not being able to read my simple sentences. "do something thatll make ur mom proud of u for once" just redirecting it at the right person

[vagrant crypt]

no it was a huge source of frustration for me, especially when after killing birdeye and the other guy, big pipe killed himself in a minefield. i ended up killing them all under the bridge near old gas on customs

[civic plank]

damm...u just got an windows update??? it was a joke

[pseudo tulip]

anyways make ur mom proud for once all im saying lil bro

[civic plank]

she already is thanks buddy

[fathom stag]

ah okay thanks for the response will just keep running it

[pseudo tulip]

ik i satisfy her pretty well

[vagrant crypt]

my point is they could be in a lot of places that i didnt think to look

[dusky carbon]

Whats the best way to get half masks for punisher part2

[next swan]

what is the best place or recommendations for 100+meter kills?

[pseudo tulip]

reserve go up in the dome, super chill and fun

[wintry notch]

god, rb-pkpm is so so bad

[next swan]

pmc?

[pseudo tulip]

dude u see it all. ive sniped, pmcs, scav, santa, glukhar, anything u see move. i finished pest control from there sniping scavs in the barracks

[next swan]

thanks

[pseudo tulip]

np enjoy! be sure to scan the field to the left past the tank storage area, theres pmcs in the grass sometimes

Yo ?

💔

[pseudo tulip]

if u wanna "cheese" it, buy bags/rigs when the store resets and vendor them back

or flea idk

[solid nebula]

But it's not even worth it is it

0.01

[pseudo tulip]

if u dont have double pockets it leads to a quest to get them

[scarlet pier]

you are always selling ragman random backpacks and rigs, its a passive quest

[stone harbor]

yeah it's gonna bother you ALOT

that's like 250 raids, or down to half if you can put 2 in the bags lol

[viral dune]

Is there any good way to get Evil Watchman done? I've run to dorms and killed reshala every time early in the raid but no PMCs spawning since I got the quest

[civic plank]

keep going eventually they will

[viral dune]

Any benefits to going local server vs bsg as far as you know? or waiting for PMCs to show up later in raid?

[civic plank]

so far from my experience i see no difference its a matter of reshala no spawnning there and the AI PMCs just go in there

[rain wasp]

ffs "connection to server lost" then when i try to reconnect it says "match complete" and takes my gear......

[deep oasis]

do i just vendor jar of pickels?

[civic plank]

yes

[jovial cobalt]

i always feel like pmcs on local raids loiter for a long time on their spawn but i haven't done any amount of actual testing and comparison

so on bsg server they might more often naturally roam there

[prime trellis]

so.. why is a a guy streaming arena.. but he's just sitting in queue and watching videos and not playing?

[pseudo tulip]

because streamers dont want to play arena, but they want the money, so they "play" arena (one or 2 matches) then sit intentionally in a dead gamemode map queue so their shift at the job goes by a little easier

i watched axel abuse the fuck out of this earlier

[prime trellis]

i found someone who is actually playing the game, they actually deserve the views

trey is basically nonexistant

oh well, never clicking on his stream again

[pseudo tulip]

i hope this is the last time twitch drops are a thing for tarkov or arena but thats proly not gonna happen

[prime trellis]

i expect them to have more drops within 2 months because of viewcounts

[lucid horizon]

hey so i have 2 rogue usec workshop keys but everytime i try to use it it wont let me

[sharp obsidian]

you sure you at the right building tho?

@pseudo tulip you playing? i gotta do assessment part 3

[lucid horizon]

yes

[stone harbor]

Does anyone here watch CoolestJonas? very down-to-earth kinda guy during his Tarkov games, his reaction is so naturally normal human-like, unlike other streamers with mad skills

[prime trellis]

gotta say though, holy shit did my pvp account come out rich from drops lmaop

[pseudo tulip]

it becomes even more interesting when you look at twitch statistic websites and see which streamers are viewbotting. its all for money and u n me are the farm animals

[lucid horizon]

top of the place first big building

[prime trellis]

i don't play it

[stone harbor]

just from Twitch drop right?

[prime trellis]

but my pvp account has 40m from drops alone, not arena ones

[pseudo tulip]

im sitting atm watching some shows and chatting with yall maybe in an hour or 2?

[sharp obsidian]

just say you hate me ill go kill my raiders alone

[prime trellis]

all of my arena drops i funnel onto my pve character

[pseudo tulip]

not like this, getting constantly bombarded by illiterates in this server makes me wanna play with league and deal with those ppl instead

[sharp obsidian]

damn i only got 5 access cards left cuz i crafted a violet

[sharp obsidian]

i get it

[prime trellis]

do you really think league players are literate

[stone harbor]

damn nice, at this point i'm actually thinking of getting the arena just to send the drops from there to my PvE

the drops are sooo nice

[pseudo tulip]

good point

[prime trellis]

i wanted the crates, legas are also a decent bonus

ontop when i play arena i have setups made for leveling skills

i should go and finish the winter task series

it's a decent chunk of xp

[main hinge]

good news gang

after a brief period of working normally i'm pleased to announce the servers are back on fire

[sharp obsidian]

explain, cuz if they were, youd have a flock of 50 randoms asking if servers are ok

[main hinge]

i'm getting the local games prollems again

guess who gets to restart swift ones (it's me)

[pseudo tulip]

☝️ 🤓 anyone else getting back end error on extract? /s

[main hinge]

[sharp obsidian]

lemme guess, it just gave "backend error 3000" message

[main hinge]

eternal loading screen

[sharp obsidian]

what gear you running

[main hinge]

well not loading

[sharp obsidian]

so its the loading icon?

[wicked crow]

man i almost screwed my self over

[main hinge]

the black screen at the end of the match before the loading screen

[sharp obsidian]

just give it time. might not even give an error

[wicked crow]

I killed killa, he dropped the smuggler code so i was like okay i'll go check that extract, then tagilla pushes me and i leave the extract to loot him, then i couldn't extract there so i had to run to emercom with 5 mins left

[main hinge]

mppv, m2 sword, raid bag, hk416

no armor

[sharp obsidian]

5m is doable if you got a stim to help

[wicked crow]

oh i didn't even need a stim it took 2 mins but i was panicking

[sharp obsidian]

oh

[stone harbor]

wait what now? I was preparing to skip work to go home and play Tarkov

[smoky olive]

oh is it already crashed again

[pseudo tulip]

not worth

[sharp obsidian]

nah

[main hinge]

might just be me

[sharp obsidian]

just for him

like i said, otherwise we'd have people flocking chat

[left locust]

Servers okay? 9min loading starting local game

[smoky olive]

hmm

alright

[sharp obsidian]

oh?

[main hinge]

my area has big outages on down detector but could be local so

[stone harbor]

maybe there is gonna be a flock huh

[sharp obsidian]

ill do a lab run see how it goes lol

[smoky olive]

i was scared for a sec cuz my tarkov bugged out and crashed for a sec

[solid nebula]

I am trying to do reconnaissance for Prapor but the quest is not progressing, what am I doing wrong? I am on the roof and walked all over and still no progres

[sharp obsidian]

walk to the turrets

[solid nebula]

Aye got it:DD Thanks!

[sharp obsidian]

[sharp obsidian]

what about that lexos run mate

[thorn oriole]

Hey is that black screen bug gone now?

[sharp obsidian]

last 2 days

[thorn oriole]

Dope! been out of town

[main hinge]

i ran it back, worked this time

must have just been a couple of odd hangs

[sharp obsidian]

sometimes i think its the servers shitting the bed locally, sometimes it can be "corrupted gear"

like doing test drive with the rpd prapor gives you, will always give a back end error if you dont fix the ammo in it

[reef tulip]

If anything goes wrong I blame the servers, surely nothing on my end can be to blame.

They shot me and actually hurt me? Bad reg on the servers.
I die? No the servers killed me

[sharp obsidian]

[reef tulip]

Decent weapon, Nothing gamebreaking but decent

[finite tide]

yes

[reef tulip]

Usually I find them on labs and take the scope, the mount and the 25 round mag.
Funnily enough the 25 rounder mag is the most valuable part.

[finite tide]

fmj is decent but you wanna look for hybrid

[reef tulip]

Hybrid is common enough on Labs.
Containment zone, Weapons testing room and Red usually have a box.

[solid nebula]

What about this
Are there any 762x51 guns with bug mags?
I love my Scar but 20 rounds isn't optimal 💔

[solid nebula]

@pseudo tulip Does your favorite gun have big mags?

[tender oracle]

anyone know if they are gonna buff pve loot or if they say anything about why it been nerfed

[reef tulip]

Ak-208 has 20 or 24 rounders.

[pseudo tulip]

lemme come with u ill open green and itll be there

[reef tulip]

apparently, I've not seen the 24 rounder.

[sharp obsidian]

i opened green, no succes

[pseudo tulip]

24 rnders is more than enough!

[finite tide]

they will probably buff it at some point

[pseudo tulip]

good luck magnet, do you accept or no? (may include blowing up on mines, broken legs, bleeding to 2hp, and being late to extract) @sharp obsidian

[finite tide]

hopefully they buff it

[reef tulip]

At this point, should I consider 2 AS VALs and a 21WS keycard "good loot" from a marked room 💀

[solid nebula]

I really wish we could meet up with Peacekeeper

[finite tide]

[scarlet pier]

nerf came with the christmas trees, so maybe when they go away the loot will come back

not bad mechanic not bad #screenshots message

[solid nebula]

I've seen them literally everywhere

1. Near new gas
2. Right after the bridge in front of old gas
3. By the sniper tower at the military checkpoint past new gas
4. At RUAF roadblock
5. Dorms
6. Big factory (the one where you placed cameras for Peacekeeper)

[reef tulip]

You can also do that one on Reserve or Lighthouse.
As much as I hate the map I found Lighthouse was the best for PMC's.

If you're dead set on Customs then Natural Bottle posted a good list there.

Crack house and Fortress are also good spots.

[sharp obsidian]

WHAT IS

[reef tulip]

LOVE BABY DONT HURT ME

[sharp obsidian]

DONT HURT ME

[royal depot]

NO MORE

[reef tulip]

I've had to chuck that on whilst I'm stash sorting

[rancid tundra]

Somebody

[echo skiff]

customs, I always just run along the long road that runs east to west

check both sides of the wall, both the road side and the buildings side

dorms is inconsistent about having PMCs, there's often a 'late spawn' on it around the 10 minute mark but not every time and it's not worth waiting that long, it's faster to do a run along hte road and get into a new raid

but as stated earlier

[solid nebula]

😭

[echo skiff]

if you JUST need PMCs, lighthouse is the way; the massive north-south road is insanely easy to get PMC kills on, because the AI is super dumb and just lazes around in the open

[solid nebula]

I just killed 9 BEARs and 3 USECs at the main road on Lighthouse

Get a scope and camp a hill xD

[clear wasp]

thank y'all! i might just swap to Lighthouse

[reef tulip]

Crocmon is stuck using that stinky AK-12 with a shitty PS-320 but yuh Lighthouse is the way.

[jovial cobalt]

ak12? stinky????!

[smoky olive]

i actually just got clipped so hard by a bear 😭

throws a nade past me no voiceline and then kirks me

[pliant swallow]

labs actually put out for once #screenshots

[solid nebula]

Great haul!:D

What rooms did you visit?

[pliant swallow]

green (empty), red, violet, safe room (double black), and residential and random rooms in between

[jovial cobalt]

pmc grenades in pve scare me

[smoky olive]

that ai tracking!

[jovial cobalt]

ill run far af away and the grenade still somehow lands like right next to me

like they throw a curve ball

[solid nebula]

If a PMC screams "GRENADE OUT" they're getting rushed

They can't react xD

[royal depot]

Goons allegedly on woods, wish me luck!

[dark juniper]

Green Keycard from a Fireworks Flares dont mind if I do thats the only great thing i have gotten from opening like 6 of them lol

[tender ether]

This isn’t gameplay anymore — it’s straight-up disrespectful time-wasting. Handing over 300 million roubles isn’t a challenge, it’s lazy, unimaginative grind designed purely to inflate playtime. There’s no skill involved, no meaningful decision-making, no strategy — just a test of how many hours you’re willing to burn doing the same mind-numbing loop. This isn’t difficulty, it’s punishment. It kills motivation, replaces fun with frustration, and honestly crosses the line into absurdity.

[pliant swallow]

i have to hand over 500 mil 🙁 if that makes you feel better

[marsh ferry]

Do weapon type skills add to the pve? I need level 5 lmg but dont feel like running an lmg in raid anymore

[proud oak]

yea

[pliant swallow]

honestly tho like what did you expect, youre gonna play the game anyways sooooo

[royal depot]

Use them in arena 😉

[proud oak]

what is more crazy is if you forget to listen to every tape or some shit it will be 500M

[marsh ferry]

Thanks

[fleet loom]

died for the first time in like 3 days becuz I forgot a cms.... rip

[pliant swallow]

🙁

[fleet loom]

got another marked key tho 😛

[proud oak]

i gave up on the story i dont have the passion for it

or time or interest

[marsh ferry]

I just have batya left

[pliant swallow]

its just another quest for me honestly, just annoying ho wmuch money/time it takes. polokhim keycard just to get a quest item is stupid. labs access to get documents is stupid but im there anyways so

[proud oak]

im not sure if it goes from 300M to 500 or from teh BTC to the 500M

[pliant swallow]

ii got the 500 mil ending bc i kept my case

[proud oak]

even in pve 500M is a chore

[fleet loom]

its not that bad compare tho

[pliant swallow]

yea after a day or two of half ass grindin im at 50 miil

[fleet loom]

u can sell straight junk for 100k a pop on pve

[marsh ferry]

I didn't even make it to that before I wiped lvl 72 or 73 300mil

[smoky olive]

ap-20 ergo shotty + .50 ae deagle is actually a foul loadout

[proud oak]

you wont see level 72 now i think

its like 1 gazillion xp

[tender ether]

There will definitely be people who grind this out and keep playing, but I’m not one of them. For me, this is where it crosses the line. I’m not going to waste weeks farming for nothing, with no real reward or enjoyment. There are plenty of other games worth my time. On top of that, since I run servers, my time is far better spent developing and improving those instead. This just isn’t worth the time or effort.

[marsh ferry]

Probably not for a while if I do I think my account was a year and some odd days old before I had to wipe

I still reget it I think

[pliant swallow]

this is better #screenshots

[proud oak]

i cba to even get to 42

maybe i will at some point

what level do the better dailies and weeklies come at?

[dry mirage]

I just know that when I get bored and wipe and restart my pve, prestige pve will be introduced. just to spite me LOL

[pliant swallow]

i see what youre saying, im just saying that youre on and playing in either case, so two irds one stone, complete the story and save while you play. wiin win andd you wont finish it fast but itll get done at SOME point

[autumn garden]

Play it how you want. Grinds are nothing new and I'd even argue the ones in this day and age of gaming are kind of soft compared to some of the original korean grinds from the late 90's and early 2000's. Doesn't mean companies should be lazy, not innovate something or create and interesting way to accomplish something

[solid nebula]

I have noticed a lack of map tools for Terminal, why is that?

[wheat inlet]

No need for it . The map is not that complex + lot of player note about it online

[proper spoke]

Lol

[pliant swallow]

they dont

[autumn garden]

46, better is subjective but that there is where the xp really increases

[wheat inlet]

Im doing terminal today 🫠

[pliant swallow]

very rare will you get one worth doing

[proper spoke]

Yeah at 56 I'm getting such wonderful dailies as do factory 12 times for 80k roubles

[pliant swallow]

i dont even look at them anymore

[proper spoke]

Do 4 labs runs successfully for a reward far less than the access card cost

Kill Glukar 2 times with a leg shot (I'm not kidding that was 2 days ago)

Any map though 🙂

[autumn garden]

sounds kind of fun, kill the guards and use an AK-50 or Lapua on him

[royal depot]

No goons this woods run, but 2 heckin tank batteries

[tender ether]

This whole thing is absolute bullshit. You wait 36 hours just to open a bag, 24 hours for a conversation, 50 hours for a keycard, and I could keep going all day. This isn’t realistic, it isn’t fun — it’s just annoying. And now on top of all that, here comes this 300 million requirement… it’s completely absurd. Whoever came up with this is an idiot, plain and simple. They’re completely disconnected from reality and have no idea what actually makes a game enjoyable. This isn’t challenge or content — it’s badly disguised time-gating. Honestly, it’s ridiculous and embarrassing.

[pliant swallow]

whats the alternative tho, i realize there could be better solutions but where would the quests end?

[autumn garden]

Ah, so your biggest issue is the time gates. Pretty much a complaint from everyone tbh. Again, not particularly new idea and you'd basically be screaming at the entire industry of gaming. Played any MMO lately? All have dungeon time gates that can be weeks long.

[formal needle]

To be frank, they want playability, for the average person, playing 1-5 hrs a week. It'll take at least a year to get multiple endings, it brings out more playability imo

[proper spoke]

I'm working through my pistol masterys and I'd like to note that the action express round cost $10 each. A desert eagle magazine holds more USD than you'd get from a safe.

[formal needle]

They put space in the main mission so you can do side missions and just test out differect guns/playstyles

[pliant swallow]

completing quests is all fun and good until it just becomes a relentless never-ending circle of quests. maye a more in depth ending at terminal but at the same time, wouild it just end there? or wouldd you want a "end" quest that takes you more time to complete

[autumn garden]

I think this is where it is a mixed message and has been for BSG for years. You cannot create a hardcore game and softball it in with drops or ways to make it easier.

[pliant swallow]

time required seegments is just to make sure that you dont blow through the whole quest in a day, getting a whole new main quest line is great, but if you finish it a day, was it even impactful for the game?

[formal needle]

Perhaps, but in the sense of building a large community, introducing pve and other means of an easier time playing the game increases the amount of players willing. Not everyone wants a greuling experience, people are more than welcome to make the game harder for themselves, but without drops or other events, it is much harder to make the game easier

[tender ether]

"I work, so I don’t always have time to play. I’m happy if I can get 2–3 hours of gaming a day, and not even every day. I think BSG should understand that not everyone is a streamer playing 24/7—there are regular players too, who want to enjoy the game around work and other responsibilities."

[autumn garden]

I totally get what his issue is with the game and a lot of that will affect those with less time to play. As well though, don't venture into the PVP area of the game dealing with 3-5k hour andy's.

[north kestrel]

the way they have the quest implemented the story feels more a chore checklist than an actual story. like "oh boy time to go restock jagers mini-fridge on woods, and while im at it check on prapor's vodka still"

[autumn garden]

Then I'd argue you're playing the wrong game and wrong game genre. You want the game to be easier, ultimately, that was never their intent and neither was having PVE so they're making spagetti code to add to the spagetti code to include it.

The way around that, so it seems, was how Arc did it with the aggression system they've seemingly include into the game without making PVE a mode to itself.

[formal needle]

I'm not saying it's correct, but from a business perspective, they want to increase the playability across all demographics. I saw someone in here post that they got tarkov pve for the fiance, and they don't really play games often. That would never happen if they didn't introduce it

[autumn garden]

Sure, but you are asking for changes on a game that is 10 years or whatever in the making. There isn't a mechanism for this to actually happen other than a community to ease new folks into it.

[pliant swallow]

has anyone finished "the unheard" questline

[autumn garden]

Yes, couple times now, what do you need?

[pliant swallow]

can i use a 1 out of 10 use green card for the craft?

[autumn garden]

Should be able to. I think I threw a full 10/10 at it each time though.

[clever thunder]

1/10 cards work yes

[autumn garden]

A lot of crafts allow 1/x uses and still craft full items

[pliant swallow]

not really worried about it ut i have a 1/10 and a 10/10 so just for uses sake

[north kestrel]

that and barters, if i have the keys to do the dorms marked barter i wait till all of mine are left on one use.

[candid brook]

are partizan bags the most efficent pack rat backpack inventory item?

[proper spoke]

Giving Tree had a pistol case which is pog
15th straight run with no cultists which is not pog.

@candid brookCarrying two LBCRs in a raid bag is more popular.

[subtle valve]

Ok... This time combo.. both Shagilla and VKilla have PS ammo xD

[stone harbor]

yes that is called the infinite looting bags

you put a partizan bag inside a partizan bag, then you do that for about 10 times, and then there you have it

[light surge]

Does that still even work? Lol

[stone harbor]

yes

it does not have a same bag limit like the rest

I stacked 6 bags now

looking for another 4 more kills to get it

Sanitar bag, I haven't try it

but it is way smaller

[light surge]

I havent seen Partizan eversince Santa Claus ngl

I used to see his tripwires all the time on Shoreline & Lighthouse

[fleet loom]

I just had a scav with no weapon in my game lol

just a civilian

[stone harbor]

I saw Partizan for the total of 6 times this winter event, got killed by him 2 times via his nades/underbarrel GL, and 1 time cause he rushed me during my firefight with Reshala (blyat)

[stone harbor]

no wayyy how?

[stone harbor]

that is your cue to hunt that bitch

make noise, he will rush to your place

[fleet loom]

no clue, he just walked up to me by white pawn and started shouting profanities at me with a knife

[stone harbor]

or he will just outright hunt you down

in my case, he always hunt me

[fleet loom]

every scav from the next 2 towns over proceeded to dog pile me while I tried to process what this dude was doin

[stone harbor]

well that scav should have runaway, with a knife it isn't a war crime

[stone harbor]

the zombie scav waves I see

[fleet loom]

I didnt even kill him, he got killed by one of the 200 scavs he sent after me

[stone harbor]

damn how ironic

[fleet loom]

he was slowly following me so I tried to make it to scav extract but he got capped

[stone harbor]

[crystal umbra]

I saw partizan only once, when I went solo Local on customs.
I was looting a building next to stronghold and suddenly heard running. Went to look and both entrances had tripwires on em. So I trip one and run out, find grandpa crouching behind a bulldozer and kill him.

Tf was he hunting me for anyway? I thought he was going for low karma PMCs only

[stone harbor]

nah man, that is for PvP mode only

[crystal umbra]

Or I guess playing on Local has a bigger chance for bosses to spawn?

[stone harbor]

in PvE, that shitter will just hunt you the moment you spawn in

[crystal umbra]

Oh so in PvE he'a just a prick to everyone by default?

[stone harbor]

yes

[crystal umbra]

Ic ic

[stone harbor]

if you see tripwire at entrances to any building, congrats, roll into the 75% spawn rate

and then you either have that prick, Reshala, or Goons

or in my case, bastard and Reshala at the same time

[fleet loom]

glukars gun is so loud I shit everytime

[candid brook]

I had santa trip a partizan tripwire when I accidently aggroed him and he ran lol

[proper spoke]

Finally cultists at last. It took me maybe 10 raids to get the first 8 knives and a further 20 to get the last four.

[candid brook]

get anything good? I have gotten them 3 times and either get like dorms marked + factory storage super rich or like only thing they drop is tarbank key worth 40K roubles lol

[stone harbor]

yeah that fucker just head, eyes me, from the gas station, I was climbing to the hill above the Hermetic door, wtf

I shot ONCE, since one of his guard just spotted me and run up the hill

there goes 1 of the marked key

[fleet loom]

bro popped out of underground last 5 minutes while I was hobbling to the train after my key, no headeyes, I got the John Marston treatment

[proper spoke]

@candid brookRB-PKPM, RB-VO, 2 Polikhim keycards. Across 30+ raids I can say yes it was good and no it was not profitable compared to doing farming runs.

[solid nebula]

SA58 or AK308? In terms of recoil minimization

[solid nebula]

I just killed him a few minutes ago with a nade, he decided to stare at it and got obliterated

[stone harbor]

damn nice referrence

[stone harbor]

I would prefer SA58

[stone harbor]

damn sometimes the AI can be a bitch

[fleet loom]

the only fuckin key card I can find is blank rfid

number 5 so far.

[pliant swallow]

do i only need one of those?

[fleet loom]

pretty sure

dude wtf glukar learned the Dempsey roll

I cant with this mfr

[solid nebula]

What's everyone's favorite caliber?

[pliant swallow]

762x 51 or 6.8

[solid nebula]

Ye x51 do be big boolets

[fleet loom]

disks

[pliant swallow]

or .45 and 300 blk. disks do go hard tho

[solid nebula]

That's why you can't kill Glukhar💔

You know what? I wonder if Tagilla is killable with disks
