[subtle valve]

M993 is guaranteed 2tap to the face both Shagilla and VKilla

[stable oxide]

mhm it's amazing

[subtle valve]

So like 1 labs raid can get you ammo for 2 Labirynth runs xD

[stable oxide]

m80a1 should be good enough aswell

and you can craft it

[subtle valve]

Not always to 2tap him

And ammo on labs is almost free

[stable oxide]

true but full auto guns arent hard to get for this caliber

that too

[subtle valve]

I have 594 rounds of M993, so I have no problem spamming it for Labrys

659 of M61 on top of that and over 800 of M80A1 😛

[lethal sinew]

take axmc with lapua ap

[split hull]

What gun do you like to use it with for labrys?

[subtle valve]

And then on miss just die like a man? 😄

[lethal sinew]

dont miss

[sharp obsidian]

@pseudo tulip its joever, im missing a insulating tape for key to the tower

Wait, you already reset? 🤣

[split hull]

I've been taking a short suppressed SA58 but I feel like I waste a bit more ammo than I need to with the high RoF

[subtle valve]

SR-25 in Taupe drip

[lethal sinew]

normally I just go with nl545 take 3 30round mags full of igolnik and thats it. more than enough to kill everything in labyrinth

[stable oxide]

max strength with a pkm is fun

[subtle valve]

I just wrote while ago that Shagilla survived 20 Igolniks to the face 🙂

Never risking it again

[stable oxide]

igolnik is such low dmg that it's a gamble i feel

[sharp obsidian]

Lots of missing and desync in there

[lethal sinew]

happen to me once and done it over 100 times

[subtle valve]

No... I had 7 headshot kills and 40 hits on raid summary 🙂

[stable oxide]

if that was recent raid summary is bugged

[split hull]

That does sound fun, but I feel like the clunkiness of an LMG would get the better of me if I ever panic down there lol

[stable oxide]

put a laser and hipfire lol

[subtle valve]

I counted my hits on shore + 2 twotaps of Shagilla guards and the math was suggesting it was around 20 rounds into his head

[sharp obsidian]

37x 20 =740, shadow of tagilla head: 105

[lethal sinew]

it was just unlucky moment

[sharp obsidian]

So, as I said: lots of misses and desync there

[subtle valve]

Ricochet chance is actually high with PPBS on his helmet, not sure why

[lethal sinew]

survived once as well lapua ap xd

[subtle valve]

Gladly taking M993 somehow disables "desync issues", thus my choice is obvious

[split hull]

I don't trust my pointfire against Shagilla's health pool ngl if it works for you by all means though

[sharp obsidian]

Dont need to worry if you got enough bullets to mag dump the hell outta him

I went in there with ap sx, literally 0’d every plate and helmet he had

[subtle valve]

I once killed him with berreta pistol and RIP 9mm to the arms xD

Took me 2 of the big beretta mags

[split hull]

I don't really feel comfortable giving Shagilla enough time to shoot back at me while I magdump him tbh

[stable oxide]

well i've barely ran labyrinth myself tbh i'm still not used to it

but pkm worked well enough last time i took it slow and just mowed down whatever ran in front

[subtle valve]

Then bait him to run at you with axe

[split hull]

Do you know a way to reliably get him to charge you?

Without also going superspeed and teleporting on top of you randomly

[lethal sinew]

let him see you or shoot him once done

sometimes he just stays back but rarely

[subtle valve]

Do not shoot before he starts running, be close enough

[lethal sinew]

never happen to me xd

[subtle valve]

Then you have enough time to blast him as he runs at you 😛

[lethal sinew]

i see him i just insta shoot him and kill

[sharp obsidian]

Just how I like to kill my bosses. Hold the trigger till you see the bastard dropping on the ground

[subtle valve]

You can also use a flashbang if he is not aggroed to bait him and headshot him when he checks the flashbang source

[cursive abyss]

welp the necruspharm key is now 3 million

awesome

[sharp obsidian]

It drops enough loot to pay back

[split hull]

I'll have to try next time I'm down there. Thank you for the tips

[subtle valve]

I bought 5 in advance, though so xD

[stable oxide]

best way to do it

[cursive abyss]

what so it's worth gambling on it?

[subtle valve]

Ultra medical is also 3mil now xd

[cursive abyss]

or I can just sell it back anyway

[sharp obsidian]

Ive opened it sub 5 times and found a ledx and a defib right off the start

[subtle valve]

It is not gable, it is easy return of 3mil in less than 10 runs

And the key has 40 uses

[cursive abyss]

fair, and I don't really have anywhere else to spend the money

[sharp obsidian]

I already have an idea how to spend my money personally

[subtle valve]

I just bartered my next thicc IC cuz of the ledxes and defibs on interchange xD

[sharp obsidian]

Gonna get some junkboxes and acquired everything i need for when im lvl 61

[cursive abyss]

welp turns out I already have one

no biggie then I'll just run both keys until they're broken

[lethal sinew]

time to go goop up in labyrinth :p

[subtle valve]

I have 10 Labrys cards prepared, still missing last Labrys notes xD

[split hull]

I've been doing this actually. I might be wrong but it seems like SOST can only be crafted or found in raid

[subtle valve]

After like 15 raids there >.>

[lethal sinew]

oof

[subtle valve]

You can also you know... find it in raid for the fir status? 😄

[cursive abyss]

so best way is to just run to pharmacy and then ultra med and then leave right

[subtle valve]

I already have like 3k of SOST 😛

[wooden sinew]

tell me how Knight eats 12 rounds of 5.56 to the face and doesnt flinch??? his mask is only level 1 right??

[split hull]

Oh I typo'd, meant to say crafted or fir

[wooden sinew]

mfer just tanked my mag dump and killed me

[split hull]

Last time around I just bought the stuff off flea, but this time I guess I'll just have to acquire it myself

[lethal sinew]

cus why not

[cursive abyss]

so for the strength leveling

[subtle valve]

KK 😄

[wooden sinew]

absolute bullshit why do the goons always have such bs when i come across them

[cursive abyss]

I can walk into open ground before sprinting to get the full xp right

[subtle valve]

They have lvl6 titanium skulls 😛

[wooden sinew]

80 hp head and at minimum 12 rounds that 1000% landed

[lethal sinew]

unlucky thats all go next

[proud oak]

SOT helmet probably also has high ricochet chance

[split hull]

If I'm not blindsided by them, I find that a reliable method is to hide around a corner and wait for them to sprint straight at me, and then just dome them while they crouch and prepare to shoot at me

[wooden sinew]

i was outdoors on Shoreline

big pipe ran up and got one tapped to the head like a good boy, then knight ran up equally stupidly next and ate a mag dump to the skull

next thing i know im dead

[split hull]

😔 you got gooned on

[wooden sinew]

fr i have never beaten them solo for this exact reason

always some random cheats up their sleeve at the end of the day when im solo, then when im with my buddy he eats all the exp and kills them

[hollow brook]

Anyone else experiencing very slow loading times when completing scav raids?

[subtle valve]

For goons I actually find the easiest to fight them on Shoreline, just throw smoke and run inside the building there and pick them from inside

[wooden sinew]

for Falling Skies, i planted the plane box on shoreline before I got Tarkoved by the Goons. i dont need to survive after planting right?

[crystal umbra]

I had decent luck on Customs and luring them into the crackhouse where I just hold a corner/door and wait for them to bumrush me

Ofc it doesnt work all the time. Sometimes they aggro push in one by one (easy) and sometimes both knight and big pipe enter side by side (you are fucked) and gl trying to shoot them both at the same time as they lase you down

[languid mauve]

I've had goons aggrom me from antenna on shoreline while I was at resort

just suddenly saw laser beams heading towards my head, eyes

[maiden garnet]

for the first time i just clipped through the map on woods and died

gg

[cursive abyss]

100 rounds of M855A1 at the new emercom camp on interchange

nuts

[trail sail]

prepare to shoot? they don't prepare

insta thorax or if you are unlucky straight to the head

[split hull]

If you say so 🤷

[night willow]

can i use a canted iron sight for tarkov shooter part 1? i have terrible eyesight and the iron sight requirement is straight fucking me

[normal jackal]

hello, were scav "boosted" ?? (i killed killa with relative ease, that got thorax (while wearing killa armor) by a random ahh scav

[cursive abyss]

are there even canted iron sights in this game?

[rich elbow]

Im like at the very last end stages of finishing savior and ive never died so fucking much i hate this game

[cursive abyss]

So it seems like running 2 full bars right away is the best way to get full strength xp efficiency

[night willow]

i don't think so, it doesnt make sense why there wouldnt be though

i will never use another iron sighted bolt action rifle though

[cursive abyss]

Because they don't always add mods that make sense

Just look at the amount of garbage tier optica

[hushed flax]

im like 5 fence rep and still get trash loadout sometimes

[night willow]

i found out why NVGs never come back in insurance returns, apparently they can't be insured

[cursive abyss]

Yes

Which is fine because there's no real reason to run night raids in pve most of the time

[clever yarrow]

question when it comes to sew it together do i nee dto have that ghzel found in raid?

[cursive abyss]

No

[clever yarrow]

kk so when can i make my ghzel reach below 50%? XD i have it rn at like fucking 139/259

am i almost there?

[cursive abyss]

Rip the plates out first

[wheat inlet]

Im OUT of Tarkov babyyyyy. Savior ending 😂. My baby is about to be born so this is my final stop for me with Tarkov. It has been 10 years since the beta. Wooooo hopooo

[astral kindle]

Take plates off

[clever yarrow]

it makes it 139/154 so ye i got a while to go sadly

[cursive abyss]

Yes

Go to lfg and ask someone to break it for you

The real difficult one is sew it good 3

So i hope you saved your first 6b43

[hushed flax]

200.000€ to upgrade to stash lvl 4 no wonder people spam offer pages with euros

[cursive abyss]

P much

[clever yarrow]

ye i even founded like two extra

so like its not hard for me to get them ahahaha but ye its still a while way to go

[ivory kayak]

Do not call the red adonised buffer tube for the m4 - colour tube. You get timed out lol

[wheat inlet]

That stuff cost 300k ~ 400k each

Good item.

[rough badge]

Yo chat. Going term aghain soon :)

Just waiting for time

[rough badge]

I always wondered why that was the case

[cursive abyss]

I just got 2 ledx and a defib

[astral kindle]

Goodluck

[rough badge]

tyty

Just trying to think the best route to take if I ever do get to the pier

Either top side or bottom hjalf

[cursive abyss]

So by just running this key I can get a thicc case

Actually insane

[astral kindle]

I can DM you map with route and such if you want

[rough badge]

Ive got the map up and where everything is. Using Reemrs map rn

The only confusing part is the pumping station area after exploding the gate

[cursive abyss]

I never got the ledx part of crisis done before this is pretty crazy

[rough badge]

But if you wanna dm me yours sure

[cursive abyss]

Do you guys sell your ram or keep them for barter?

[rough badge]

sell tbh

[astral kindle]

Level 6 plate barter goes strong

[rare field]

#RemoveLvL6PlateBarters/Crafts

[cursive abyss]

I'll prolly just sell mine for now I have like 25 sticks

I'm only at 38

[umbral vault]

What barter is it?

[cursive abyss]

And I have a fucktillion lv6 plates from the Christmas tree

[rare field]

L plates, Cult plates better

[astral kindle]

Lvl 4 ragman, 2 ram sticks for GAC 4sss2

[rare field]

@astral kindle

im tempted to elite stress resistence

[astral kindle]

Do it

[solid nebula]

Are the Zvezda flashbang shotgun shells effective in PvE?

[rare field]

damn right

[astral kindle]

Yes

[hushed flax]

game: give btr driver moonshine
also game: doesnt spawn BTR 🤡

[astral kindle]

Its fun going around factory with KS, flashing PMCs and then meleeing them

[astral kindle]

Give BTR tank battery
BTR refuses to spawn 3 raids in row

Happened to my friend

[hushed flax]

nvm hes here

[clever yarrow]

yikes can you even insure that item?

[hushed flax]

he spawned with 28 min left on usec checkpoint

[astral kindle]

You can't even drop tank battery in raid

[rare field]

that reminds me i still need to melee 10x on each map

[astral kindle]

Still haven't unlocked that task as i'm too lazy with streets and pinewood kills

[vocal holly]

the pinewood kills are so easy. Just sit in the courtyard on a van and every time you kill a scav, grab their gun and fire it into the air to attract more scavs

[tranquil osprey]

anything new and cool pve recently?

[astral kindle]

I know, just haven't bothered running streets

[vocal holly]

Well, Chek 15 just worked for me. Cofdom and an RFIDR in one go

I'm doing a streets run as I need to talk to the BTR driver

Also 1 more sniper scav with a bolt action

okay, turns out it was 3 more. The Kaban sniper scavs, despite being sniper scavs, are actually guards

I mean, I know they count as Guards for the purposes of that one Ref task. But I was under the impression they also counted as sniper scavs. Ah well

[quartz vector]

Was about to curse nikita after I didn't get a single keycard from 314 marked with 7 uses but finally got black

Been straight goop otherwise

[vocal holly]

I don't like marked rooms now. With the double loot nerfs we had, they're just garbage

I'll run keycards as well but I won't use Black for anything other than Double Black now to get Intels

[quartz vector]

Why intels?

[vocal holly]

scav case and access cards

[quartz vector]

How much you need for scav case?

[vocal holly]

Also there's potential card spawns in that office as well. Bitcoins in the safe

[raw nest]

oh you think that's bad, imagine trying to give him last task and dying and he was not on the map. So you have to do it all over again

[quartz vector]

I once had to hunt that mf for like 3 raids in a row

Or was it 4

It was mostly waiting at sawmill until 8 minutes and leaving

[vocal holly]

Just go to streets

[raw nest]

streets has lower spawn chance than woods

[vocal holly]

I see him every single time

Also zero Partisan chance

[raw nest]

Well than you are lucky

would like chances to be higher

[vocal holly]

I just need 1 of the sniper scavs to respawn and then I can extract

[rich elbow]

10 raids in a row no cultists but Goons AND Reshala, thanks nikita

[clever yarrow]

ngiht raid rashala was an experience for me tbh

fight was decent 🙂

but ye i am farming to do double barrel kills on cultists now

still keep seeing that dweeb Partisan

legit just keeps spawning in every game almost on customs

[left locust]

For military power filter is glukhar guards still best method to farm it?

[astral kindle]

Woods bunker

[left locust]

didn't that bunker get nerfed?

[vocal holly]

everything got nerfed

[left locust]

true true

[astral kindle]

Mmhm but still commonly found there

[torpid oasis]

where to find inteligence folders ??

[left locust]

labs new black key card room good place 😛

[fast briar]

Man i love pvp

[torpid oasis]

yes i know labs is prob a fair chance what about normal maps

[chrome musk]

I have the same problem 🙁

[rich elbow]

they know im deleteing this game as soon as im done savior so they are cockblocking me

[astral kindle]

Normal maps i'd say customs safes and maybe company director's room

[torpid oasis]

ok cheers

[vocal holly]

Interchange. The Batya camp between Power and Emercom. It can spawn in one of the tents on top of the radio

[rich elbow]

anywhere with a set of drawers lol

[hushed flax]

whats fastest way to get white ornaments

[slim spoke]

christmass trees on the maps

i know there is atleast 1 at dorms

anyone know a fix for the task To Great Heights! - Part 1 [PVE ZONE] as i've won multiple matches of CheckPoint and i still cannot complete it

[solid nebula]

Let's say I am sorting my junk and I have 'military' and 'electronics' categories, in which category would I please a Military electronic?

xDD

For some reason I hate that I have to decide that

[dreamy mantle]

ive seen people mention it's bugged

[slim spoke]

any way i can reach out to BSG to fix it as its annoying, no reason to play arena

[astral kindle]

ah thanks!

[rare field]

Just be prepared for them to responds many weeks later with a casual ''Follow the steps the quest tells you''

they wont help you

[astral kindle]

Or "We are aware of the issue"

[robust hull]

Or "we know, closing the ticket"

[viral zodiac]

Arena is fun, but only in checkpoint

I have reached that conclusion

[astral kindle]

Laughs in last hero dorms

[rare field]

looting a GPU in factory big GOOP

[viral zodiac]

Hero isnt bad either

Hero and Checkpoint are alright

[astral kindle]

I loved doing pvp in dorms when i played pvp and fact they added dorms into last hero, its perfect

[viral zodiac]

The other two....you're either going to get the team that has the funky wall software or you're on the receiving end of it

[viral zodiac]

Yeah thats a good point

[astral kindle]

3 matches yesterday, each time rank 1

[viral zodiac]

I just like running around like a chicken with my head cut off. Its easier for me to catch people lacking. Also I can focus on getting on the cap point to help my team.

Im the other two game modes I see the kill cam and home boys are aiming where I am about to walk 4 seconds before I appear

[proper agate]

Had a generational loot run on labs this morning but lost it to raiders at the end
Lost all my figurines, 1 out of my 2 GPUs, and a bunch of hideout materials
Still got to keep a 1/2 residential card, 1 GPU, 2 RAMs (didn't think in the moment to swap them out for the GPU), and a Bitcoin at least

[cosmic patrol]

[proper agate]

Is this just normal labs loot and I've been searching all the wrong places?

[cosmic patrol]

i need new event men. Terminal make me angry

[karmic nexus]

I have the quest to kill Killa, expecting it to take a couple raids, a couple kits, first raid, 4 bullets. Quest complete, feelsgoodman

[stone goblet]

how many attempts?

[cosmic patrol]

I have done... 11

got 2 more cards in my stash + 1 crafting rn

[stone goblet]

it took me 7 so i wouldnt worry

[cosmic patrol]

ah fuck, ill expect 20 runs then, if it took even you 7

[stone goblet]

nah you got this

its just one big puzzle

[cosmic patrol]

i like puzzles that dont shoot back at me

[undone coral]

Wrong game then 😭

[proper agate]

Is labs loot (even with loot nerf) normally worth going for even without keycards?

[astral kindle]

Took around 12 tries for me

So you got this mate

[rough badge]

Yeah I love it when I cant see BD :/

Peak the door cant see him instantly dead

ffs

[vocal holly]

Use grenades to flush them?

[rough badge]

I did. But in the keycard building they dont push

Probably should have had a better angle to peak from

But oh well ig

[vocal holly]

Run Streets
Check every PC
No GPU
Find 3 RAM
Have 1 RAM in stash

Eh, close enough. Thank you Mechanic

[karmic nexus]

Anyone have any tips for Huntman Path, Evil Watchman? Dorms PMC Kills. Just keep resetting till pmcs spawn in dorms or something?

[vocal holly]

hope you spawn right by them and rush into 3 story.

[karmic nexus]

Worth it to camp around for some time or nah?

[vocal holly]

Possibly but not too long

[cosmic patrol]

Tarkov isnt a puzzle, Terminal is. Tarkov is the right game

[cosmic patrol]

Ah, then I cant be worried. 20+ runs for sure

[vocal holly]

Well, time for 1 more quick GZ. Run around, get 1 PMC with this shotgun then rush to extract

Silent Caliber is then done

[astral kindle]

Ah cute, friend request from random with mutal server being this. Yet they haven't sent any messages anywhere

[vocal holly]

I get them from servers I haven't been active in for MONTHS

So I got Moreman's audio tape #2 but #1 is bugged? Do I have to put it through the workbench again????

Handbook is showing I got another audio to play which I'm assuming it's #1 but it's not showing up.

[cosmic patrol]

Accept it no balls. Do some trolling

[cosmic patrol]

craft it

[fluid rose]

I already did...

[cosmic patrol]

restart game

[astral kindle]

Nah, its just gonna later change name into system or some other shit and act like "oh your account is in danger"

[rich elbow]

i love how they randomly jacked the difficulty up on ai out of nowhere

[fluid rose]

It's been like that since last night.

[cosmic patrol]

I dont remember what I did to fix it

Damn.

[chrome musk]

I mean, how rare are the cultist really ?

[cosmic patrol]

defo no scam 😂

very legit biznezz

[cursive abyss]

another ledx, this time ultra med

Crazy

[karmic nexus]

Ultra and the other Pharmacy have been spawning ledxs so often lately

[winged karma]

anyone else having saved weapon presets reset?

[vocal holly]

Defibs for me but I have found 1 LedX in one

They both use the NecrusPharm key, right?

[karmic nexus]

Nah, Ultra and Pharmacy are two different keys if that is what you are asking

[vocal holly]

Sorry, not Ultra. That key has been garbage for me

I mean the one opposite TechLight

[karmic nexus]

Opposite how? like north and south?

[cursive abyss]

It's quite erratic

Sometimes it's trash

I juat got a ledx from it

[karmic nexus]

Pharmacy is in idea, ultra is right next to techlight, I was able to get a ledx from ultra last run

[vocal holly]

Oh, it's called Ultra? I might be getting my keys mixed up then

[cursive abyss]

Yes

Ultra medical unit key

[vocal holly]

OHhhh. That key is used in 2 locations?

[karmic nexus]

no

[vocal holly]

The fuck

You have Ultra med, the one with 3 doors on the 1st story

Pharmacy by IDEA

Then on 2nd floor, in a little room opposite Techlight, it's a locked door. It's a medical item spawn room

[cursive abyss]

No?

That's emercom medical unit the fuck

[vocal holly]

fuck me

[cursive abyss]

Emercom is shit yeah

[vocal holly]

For some weird ass reason that key wasn't in my Interchange key tool

Which seriously threw me off

[cursive abyss]

I bought another necruspharm key for like 3M because I didn't know I already have one

But it already paid itself off with 2 LEDX so

[vocal holly]

A handful of Defibs will do that for you as well and with 40 uses, it's well worth it

or 20. Either way, it's very hard to not make money off that key

[cosmic patrol]

ah

[sage sandal]

another confirm goons on customs. thanks for all the m80 ya goons keep goonin

[hasty dagger]

2 times in row on customs, so give them a ass whooping !

[sage sandal]

and m995? that birdeye can now have

[hasty dagger]

Yes, with that pretty good modded M4

[sage sandal]

yea i took it over the m60 big pipe had, gonna just slap a new lower on that and use it as is not bad

[cursive abyss]

Bruh how the fuck does the M590 weight like 4.4kg

[hasty dagger]

M60 is ass.. only thing to take from it is the mags ngl

[sage sandal]

agreed. takes 12-15 business days to ads. good on pvp if youre ratting but meh, gimme that 7.62nato

[hasty dagger]

Not even good in PvP 😄 The only time I fully used M60 was during zombie event

[karmic nexus]

I mean at that point just run the RPD

[hasty dagger]

New mods for RPD goes hard, so it´s indeed better to run that

[cursive abyss]

Feels like they nerfed the new emercom tent

[karmic nexus]

Green keycard in last use Dorms 314 honestly makes me want to buy another oney

[hasty dagger]

Well, PvE got nerfed with the loot

[karmic nexus]

Appreciate the conformation, you wanna spawn them in my game

[hasty dagger]

At the start PvE had crazy % for the loot

[vocal holly]

I just wish people hadn't driven the price of Moonshine down. It's gone from 520~ to about 470 average in the past 3 or 4 days. It sucks

I'm even seeing people selling for 400k which is just garbage

[sage sandal]

yes let me do use my voodoo powers one moment i must find a young goat to sacrifice before the ritual can begin.

[karmic nexus]

I feel alot of stuff has drop so much in price and I have no idea why, military corregated tubes are going for like 200 when they were like 350 last week

[karmic nexus]

I legit was asking for that last night for Gluhkar but no one helped me, I know yours is going to do it!

[vocal holly]

I have noticed some rather suspicious individuals selling stacks of HUNDREDS of items so I'm wondering if they're starting to dump and it's driving everything down as a result

[silver galleon]

Is it true that you shouldn’t peek Tagilla because he will head-eye you? Someone told me I should only strafe out when dealing with Tagilla

[hasty dagger]

Every boss will 1 tap you if you repeak tbh not just Tagilla

[sage sandal]

wow, no one sacrificed a baby goat and drained its blood into the skull of their enemies to get spawn rates to increase on eft for a boss for you? what has this world come to... dont worry bruddah, arise chicken CHICKEN ARISE

anyone completd Snowball on PVE want to give me some pointers?

[sage sandal]

heh heh ok bruddah here is the oat. Now you mut kiss him deep, with tongue.

just kidding dirty boy eh eh eh

[hasty dagger]

Start with the hardest bosses, that would be best thing to do

[hazy gorge]

Shoot the bosses

[hasty dagger]

Gluhar/kaban/Police man etc

Also if you know on which map goons can be, go for them

[civic plank]

ahhh ok, was about to ask that

[pastel hull]

[civic plank]

lets see, will try to make a plan

[sage sandal]

scarry

[hasty dagger]

Good luck brutha, that will be hard

[sage sandal]

you will arise to the challenege bruddha

[hasty dagger]

Gib cultists with the marked key

[civic plank]

#screenshots message LETS GO

[karmic nexus]

@sage sandalWrong boss homie, you spawned reshala

[hasty dagger]

I would take assault rifle, but good luck !

[sage sandal]

no is right, goons in disguise. they spirit inside him, you did it the ritual work as always. ARISE

[civic plank]

got too much ap...have to use it

[hasty dagger]

.338 AP is ass tbh, don´t know why.. but it feels worse than a FMJ

But I didn´t use .338 yet in 1.0, so don´t know realy

[vocal holly]

It'll be the flesh damage difference

[digital dune]

Seems the same to me.

[rich elbow]

getting folded by cultists before i can aim and random scavs are blowing my limbs off every two seconds

[digital dune]

Probably just bad luck, had a street fight with 3 pmcs and only lost an arm earlier with 0 cover. They still can't aim for shit. I mean which is a good thing for me but still.

If it did increase i didn't notice it, i've been doing the guide where you have to extract on each map and had 0 problems.

[rich elbow]

its just annoying because im trying to finish this game and now you cant just run straight into people to get this shit over with. had 10 pmcs spawn in the middle of the road while i was running to water plant yesterday

[digital dune]

Not quite done but almost with it.

[hasty dagger]

I just got jumped by Reshala squad, holy 😄 How did I survive that

[digital dune]

Sounds like you been having some bad luck tbh. Maybe they changed some pathing you're not use to?

[rich elbow]

no theyre literally just aiming better now. cultists couldnt even kill me before and now as soon as i drop priest im dead

[digital dune]

Ah man this is gonna get to my head now ima be nervous thinking shit changed. Ya cursed me!

And im so close to beating my survival streak

[rich elbow]

yeah about 20% of my deaths have come from the last two days

[digital dune]

We'll see ima goto factroy and beef it out. 😄

i will be sad if i lose my nutsack

[jolly cosmos]

Ugh where r all the NA players?

[digital dune]

asleep

[karmic nexus]

What you want?

[thorn roost]

j*b🥀

[jolly cosmos]

Not u

[karmic nexus]

Thats just hurtful

[cursive abyss]

I assume it's very much worth doing is this a reference just for the steamer item case alone

[thorn roost]

i think it's the best way to store money

and hold your kappa items ig

[digital dune]

Eh i just use the first item case for it

no point in doing that mission imo

not the thicc one just the normal one

[thorn roost]

ig it can only store 352 mil

not sure i remember the best storage method for money

[hasty dagger]

Finally 314 from cultist..

[civic plank]

this game is a joke, first raid looking for Police man and found the blood rusted key lmao

[sage sandal]

i know pistols are kinda meh in tarkov in general except like the glock 18c but itd be so cute if they added a bunch of really common conceal carry pistols even though they'd all be in 9mm or .38 or .45. i want to make my personal ccw in tarkie 🙁 guess ill just have to buy a sr1mp irl and do it reverso style

[trim hawk]

Money case

[thorn roost]

3 SICC cases store more

ig the money case can take wallets

[trim hawk]

Can the sicc cases hold legas

[thorn roost]

nvm the money case can't store wallets

[thorn roost]

i don't have arena idk

[trim hawk]

I rest my case

[thorn roost]

[subtle valve]

Nice... died to silenced grenade from Reshala guard...

[sage sandal]

classic, good old tarkov.

[subtle valve]

I only knew it was F1 cuz of healing screen

[trim hawk]

Are the proflex ears worth getting because I did the quest for them

[hasty dagger]

You know it´s a good raid, when M.U.L.E won´t help ya

[thorn roost]

TEPS are about 40-45 meters effective, they're about 10 meters better

they're pretty good

[trim hawk]

What are their headset counterparts because I remember the tep being close to a 4

Comtac

[sage sandal]

theyre def better than the teps, i like them so i can wear ear armor and stuff. compared to comtac 6 theres like a 10 meter difference in detectable hearing, they sound good imo.

gigbeef did a video on them just recently

[thorn roost]

def worth bringing regularly

[sage sandal]

so yea idk i use and like them

[rich elbow]

bro ive been killed fucking 3 times by partisan in a day WHY the fuck is he all over PVE now

[thorn roost]

altyn supremacy

[sage sandal]

theres no map where i feel like 10ish meters of more hearing is gonna change anything on pve

[karmic nexus]

I wish they added the flare extract near dorms, like why add it near an already global extract with Power Exit?

[rich elbow]

im so fucking sick of this game and i have like two days left before i can escape. its literally becoming mega super aids right now

[trim hawk]

Rhyst is literally better in every aspect btw

[chrome musk]

Is there something wrong with spawns atm? Im trying to find cultist, but I keep getting goons every single raid

[rich elbow]

probably. Partisan keeps fucking appearing and blowing my head off after not seeing him for two months

[trim hawk]

How are you dying to partisan he has negative aura

[rich elbow]

he literally instantly headshots me and i always have a vudu or some bullshit equipped

[trim hawk]

Every time I kill him I think he’s a scav and then realise in the kill screen it was partisan

[thorn roost]

but green

[elfin silo]

so true

[trim hawk]

Last time I saw him i was doing connections up north and I blew his head off with an axmc

[elfin silo]

As far as i'm aware both should be able to spawn in the same raid,
woods currently have a 30% spawn rate for cultist and 25 for the goons but the map is huge, the spawn rates are flipped if you farm them on customs

[rich elbow]

yeah im literally deleting this game this week after savior and nikitas fat ass is making it as painful as possible. All kinds of weird ass shit is happening since i got kappa

[elfin silo]

What kind of weird stuff?

[rich elbow]

like guards airbursting grenades next to my head, Partisan spawning raids in a row, cultists/goons/reshala spawning on top of eachother, ai pmcs having 7.62 BP

literally have 10 pmcs spawn in front of me on the road on lighthouse

[rare field]

so whats the issue?

just kill em

[trim kettle]

Nikita is russian kojima btw

[karmic nexus]

Not both Goon Tracker sites saying 4 different maps lol in the past 10 mins

[rare field]

Kojima is japanese Nikita btw

[trim kettle]

so real @rare field

ayy perfectly timed too

[rare field]

lmao

[fluid beacon]

Guess what guys I found a new gun

Pkpst

In construction you can kill the btr driver

[rich elbow]

yeah theyre doing some dumbass shit rn

[scarlet pier]

are they in the room with us, right now?

[orchid crest]

There are probably goons in the chat let’s be honest

[scarlet pier]

I wouldnt be surprised if the goons went to these websites and fed wrong info... would be quite on brand

[orchid crest]

Lol

[subtle valve]

Fuckin again!!!! Reshala guard at night does insta leg teleport nade that expodes like impact

WTF, did they boost guards AI?

[orchid crest]

Sometimes those guards should be playing in the nba, 3 pointing a grenade I to my face

[rare field]

Would be a big W if it was

[subtle valve]

2 raids in a row same death by impossible trajectory nade that explodes directly under my leg

[rich elbow]

definetely a random buff to all AI after people threw a fit about deleting PVE lol

[karmic nexus]

Welcome to Tarkov about September-March 2024-2025, Scavs would be doing the same thing, first contact probably get naded by a scav you didnt see

[subtle valve]

But was there official buff or we can assume silent change?

[rich elbow]

naw, SKS scav was an unoffical boss like 2020-21

[subtle valve]

It is nice that we cannot brainlessly rush Reshala but nade teleporting is a big FU Nikita

[karmic nexus]

Oh god, you did not have to bring up that memory

That was absolutely terrible back then

[rich elbow]

thats probably why theyre still worth like 250xp every time you search one \

[split hull]

I did feel earlier today like PMC ai was a little more precise than it used to be

Thought I was just playing more carelessly than usual, but maybe they did change something

[rich elbow]

something is different. about 20% of my deaths have come from the last two days

not like its bad but its annoying they waited until 2 days before im gonna delete this shit to make the AI put up a fight

[subtle valve]

Ok, going 3rd fullkit nvg at night, lets see how they nade me this time

[rich elbow]

i like the part where they shoot around your plates and thorax you

[sage sandal]

idk, ive had no problem with reshala, i even just killed him with a nade bounced off the wall up to 2nd story and he got stuck. even santa was there and they all died.

it actually annoys me when reshayshay appears cause that means no pmcs and im trying to do test drive 3 lol

[rich elbow]

reshala is easy its his dumbass guards

[subtle valve]

Ah yes... (thorax, left armpit) while wearing T6 plates is peak tarkov

[sage sandal]

yea his guards are pretty snappy and they have way too many nades.

i just spray and pray and it usually gets the job done unless its at new gas and i have to move them around with nades

[azure canopy]

when you co-op labyrinth do you ever spawn together or is it always different rooms on different ends of the map

[subtle valve]

Always different rooms

Normal scavs are sus too.. It is 4.40 in raid, dark as fuck and they spot me just looking at them from 100m

[azure canopy]

would it be better to just solo it then if your support is somewhere random anyway

[rich elbow]

any chance you can send a grenade into lightkeepers room? i hate him

[subtle valve]

Try with the rocket launcher

[mystic marsh]

Kill lk

Behead lk

Decorate your hideout with lk's severed head

He's a horrible person and I hate him

[subtle valve]

Ooof... I see goons from fort behind crack

Goons on customs for anyone hunting

[rich elbow]

i almost want to let terragroup nuke everyone because they all suck ass \

especially jaegar \

[mystic marsh]

His quests can go fuck themselves

[karmic nexus]

If Reshala would stop spawning stronghold I'd probably see them

[subtle valve]

In my raids he is alwasy on new gas, never stronghold

[karmic nexus]

I've ran Customs about 6ish times now, Reshala has been in every location I dont want him to be. I dont want him stronghold because I want Goons, I dont want him Dorms because I need PMC kills in there

[rich elbow]

only thing left is last 1/3 of the cultists questline and last 1/2 of ticket, god get me out of this shithole

[mystic marsh]

Reshala's thugs are so annoying

[prime spade]

you cannot stop the nuke. tarkov will burn regardless of your insignificance

[subtle valve]

Nice... my chest armor is 100% dura... my both arms are blacked

[hazy gorge]

time to get theta container

[rich elbow]

good this place is a cumdumpster

[subtle valve]

Nice toz scav

[prime spade]

so was your mom but we loved her too

[rich elbow]

is*

[narrow eagle]

I can't wait to get home

[rare field]

[mystic marsh]

So true bestie

[prime spade]

was* we're also done with her 🙂

[scarlet pier]

Is this since when? Yesterday did night raids in customs and even killed cultists and the scavs were blind at distance

[rich elbow]

like you could do better

[subtle valve]

I've noticed it today, last 2 hours

[prime spade]

factually accurate

[subtle valve]

Reshala was my last for the relentless quest boss hunting and I was naded xD

[karmic nexus]

I'm 16 quests away from Kappa, most of them being super dumb and pick up item and turn it. But I feel as the Dorms PMC Kills is going to be my last one due to it not happening. Its like Secure Perimeter, that one was also a road block for the longest time for me

[mystic marsh]

Kappa is cringe

[carmine remnant]

Man. Why the Mk 17 can't be sold on flea but the X-17 can is an enigma to me

[mystic marsh]

Turn over the kappa

[sage sandal]

delete kappa, get abibbas bag

[mystic marsh]

Sigma

[karmic nexus]

Never got it before in PVP and I was somewhat close before resetting my account for story

[carmine remnant]

The Mk 17 is objectively worse

[sage sandal]

i learned today that the x17 is just a scar-h that takes stanag mags lol

[rough badge]

Keycard has around 5 hours left to craft then gonna do another run

[sage sandal]

not in game but irl

cause nobody wanted yucky european mags in their scar-h

[mystic marsh]

I hate proprietary mags

The fact that SCAR-H takes proprietary mags instead of sr-25 pattern is so stupid

[tulip mesa]

but how will FN charge the US government money?

[carmine remnant]

fr especially considering the Mk 16 just takes Stanang

[prime spade]

Gamma can hold more things than Kappa its superior.

[sage sandal]

yea FN has a weird thing with mags

[mystic marsh]

Yeah like wtf

At least be consistent like hk

417 takes stupid hk mags, G36 takes stupid hk mags

[cursive abyss]

why is 2a2btg worth like 80k per?

[sage sandal]

even their handguns its like oh ja u must get das bitte magazine not zat yucky GLOCK mag also its 3x the price aufweiderzen! (in belgium dialect idk)

[sage sandal]

the christmas air drops

[mystic marsh]

Glock overrated

I hate glock

[carmine remnant]

Magpul literally had to make the Gen 3 PMAGs because Gen 2's wouldn't work with the 416's

[carmine remnant]

(Silly Billy) Opinion

[cursive abyss]

was it supposed to be worth more?

[mystic marsh]

Stfu glock is actually not that great

[sage sandal]

agreed, glocks grip feels like garbage, but, i have a 30 rnd glock mag that i cant put in my edc and their mags are prettty solid

[maiden garnet]

are you able to enter labrynth on practice mode without it eating your keycard?

[karmic nexus]

BRO MY HEART IS RACING

[sage sandal]

glock is like bare minimum of self defense handguns

[carmine remnant]

Glock is the pinnacle of handguns

[gleaming junco]

turning in all of the items for kappa is so annoying lol

[karmic nexus]

Killed a Cultist on Customs, 314 key in his pockets, and I just compeleted Stray Dogs

[sage sandal]

thats how all other handguns are judged is by a glock

[carmine remnant]

And the proof is in the pudding, you're just in denial

[mystic marsh]

It's just that if we're talking irl, glock doesn't offer anything unique. And for the price you're getting the bare minimum for handgun, when there are better options available in the same price range

[gleaming junco]

what a raid !

[sage sandal]

yeah no i totally agree. ohhh the gen 5 has an optics cut now wow oh my goodness thats like 10 year old tech

[carmine remnant]

What does that mean, not offering anything unique?

[reef furnace]

Same for me yesteday but it was 314 and a reserve marked key

Those guys had a bunch of pbp ammo too

[sage sandal]

the trigger is pretty booty too

[mystic marsh]

I'm a huge fan of the P226, solid gun irl and in EFT

[sage sandal]

on all glocks that ive shot that werent aftermarket

[reef furnace]

ufr?

[mystic marsh]

And the more parts you replace with aftermarket stuff, the more legendary reliability drops

[modern lichen]

i sort my handguns by taste

[subtle valve]

Ok... So I killed goons no problem and reshala guards are too much xD

[mystic marsh]

Yeah, p226 is a solid handgun

[carmine remnant]

That's cause the trigger is the safety of the glock it's got a long pull to insure it doesn't fire until you squeeze it that is by design

[reef furnace]

But the malfunctions

[dire charm]

i need someone shoot my armor

[mystic marsh]

Are you sure you're not mixing it up with the P320? 226 is extremely reliable and durable

[sage sandal]

yea i mean if thats all thats there im gonna use it, but what the heck is up with the grip? you have to angle your strong hand in such a weird way

[reef furnace]

Yeah im sure, like, ik the p320 is way worse, but SIG has a thing about making their weapons unsafe

It's about finding the sweet spot of which has the less malfunctions overall

[karmic nexus]

@sage sandalThe offerring worked, thank you

[reef furnace]

I admit I haven't researched the p226 that much

So my knowledge it's relative

[carmine remnant]

The 226 was from when SIG actually made good guns

[trim kettle]

To the 2-man i sacrificed on Lighthouse, you won't be missed

[sage sandal]

no gun should fire until you squeeze the trigger, my edc doesnt have a manual safety, it has only a trigger safety and the trigger is nicer (i gave away what it was but still). i feel like that the trigger not going off with a slight pull is only applicable in actual war settings where youre climbing through brush and stuff

[carmine remnant]

Those were in issue with the FBI for a while

[mystic marsh]

Navy SEALs switched from 226 to glock ONLY because it was lighter and cheaper lmao. Other than that 226 is a better handgun

[sage sandal]

ARISE!!!!! now i will eat this baby goat, stuffs delcious with some cayenne on it

[reef furnace]

I see

[cursive abyss]

do you barter for a money case or just buy it

it's a million on flea

[mystic marsh]

I'm obsessed with the P226 for two reasons

[rare field]

barter super cheap

[mystic marsh]

1. Navy SEALs
2. My favorite anime protagonist used one

[gusty panther]

can you do setting priorities with a helmet on or does it still count as armour?

[reef furnace]

Getting money for me ain't hard so I just buy it on flea

[sage sandal]

id happily get a 226 to throw into a kidon

[carmine remnant]

The usual thought process behind non-glock enjoyers

[sage sandal]

i dont want a 320, and the flux raider is a bit overrated.

[rare field]

i used to barter/sell that shit for a 2m profit

[carmine remnant]

M E D I A

[reef furnace]

Armor it's vests, so nah, it doesn't count as armor

[gusty panther]

sweet thx

[carmine remnant]

Shadow the Hedgehog used this gun so it's my favorite

[reef furnace]

Np, but you gotta wear the tank crew helmet tho

And that already has like, aramid tier 1 protection

[sage sandal]

the only M E D I A gun i want is an IWI Jericho. so dope

[reef furnace]

So yeah the point still stands

[gusty panther]

yeah theres 2 parts tho, one with headset and no armour and one with tank helm

[reef furnace]

Ah you doing part 2?

[gusty panther]

the 1st one

[reef furnace]

Alr

[wise osprey]

Fastest way to make money? At the moment I’m strictly running labs. Just looting black keycard offices. High value areas. Which take me like 10-14 min run and I make roughly 2-4 mil and sometimes if rng good I make 6 mil if I pull a color card from office that’s not yellow.

I’m trying speed run this 500 million story task. So seeing if anyone has a phat way to get more. Or if this is the most proficient way I’m doing

[reef furnace]

Black keycard office

Bitcoins spawn pretty often in the safe

[rich elbow]

should have been saving them bitcoins pimp

[reef furnace]

Also intel folders that cost 400k to 500k in the flea

[reef furnace]

I used mine for +2 pocket slots

[subtle valve]

Interchange ledx + defib route + cehcking carousel for valuables and ammo

[rich elbow]

hunt cultsists if youre going for money, marked keys sell for like 20mil each

[sage sandal]

other people have suggested labry too. maybe just to switch it up if you get bored of labs, think they end up about the same

[reef furnace]

Also ultramall medical storage and necruspharm with their defs and ledxs

[rare field]

10-14 <--- fix that to make it 5-6 mins and that doubles ur profit already

[karmic nexus]

Does anyone know if Easy Job Part 2 includes the Building the Rouges are on?

[sage sandal]

it do. bear pmcs cry in unison

[reef furnace]

Chalet? nah

Only WTP

[karmic nexus]

Dog

[rich elbow]

cultists are the best for making big bucks in pve, and more reliable than hunting for ledx or gpus

[karmic nexus]

Rouges dont spawn Chalet, I'm talking about WTP

[reef furnace]

Ah you talking about rogues, thought you were talking about the goons

But yeah kills towards the task only count at the WTP

[nova hamlet]

Best way to level heavy vest in pve?

[karmic nexus]

All good lol, I did just merk the boys on customs

[rich elbow]

or labryinth if youre insane

[reef furnace]

Go into a raid and shoot a gas canister near you

[mystic marsh]

Shut up. I'll punch you

[reef furnace]

It will deplete the armor's durability

Then you use a repair kit

Don't go too close or you might die

Labs it's full of those

Customs too

[nova hamlet]

Damn true, what about labyrinth or killing bosses by only shooting chest?

[split hull]

I think they might, but this is easily testable if you're on the quest and in the area anyway

[reef furnace]

You can try, using AP ammo, but pray they don't survive the spray

Cause they got too much thorax HP

[nova hamlet]

Yeaa true AP doesn't do much flesh, I will shoot a canister before I leave a raid each time ty bro

[sage sandal]

i got 1 tapped in a level 6 plate by a 5.56 warmageddon the other day, bosses should too 😠

[reef furnace]

Yw

[reef furnace]

Probably hit you in the neck

[split hull]

You can also check the wiki page for the quest. Seems like buildings 2 and 3 don't count but building 1 does

[mystic marsh]

I have a funny urgent quest:leg meta six scavs on GZ. What should I use for the funny quest? Thinking mp9

[reef furnace]

Start wearing armor that protects you there, tier 2/3 soft armor can make the difference

[wide dust]

Are scavs spawning with half-masks yet? Or is it still the holiday masks? I need 4 more for Punisher Pt2

[reef furnace]

Still holiday masks

[karmic nexus]

Thats what I was looking at, I also came to that conclusion its just weird some buildings matter and some dont

[wide dust]

Crap

[sage sandal]

thats what i thought too, but it was (thorax, whatever the center is called). not necked and i also had level 3 neck on anyways, i think it critted but i thought that was a myth.

[reef furnace]

I see

That's really weird

Probably a bug yeah

[sage sandal]

it was very very weird

[reef furnace]

Or actually went through the plate and hit you

Cause let's remember

[sage sandal]

my armor wasnt damaged even from insurance, i just DIED

[wise osprey]

Na just doing the 500 million quest doing a reset and then do the route where you need 40 bitcoins

[reef furnace]

Pen it's chance based

Like, a % chance

[wise osprey]

Yea loot that every time

[sage sandal]

the death hit was (blunt)

cause i thought that too even

[reef furnace]

[sage sandal]

but the blunt damage killed me

idk it confused the f out of me and still does

[reef furnace]

Yeah we got a once in a million chance here

[sage sandal]

i should record my gameplay

[reef furnace]

Blunt damage crit it's my theory

[mystic marsh]

I hope u die less

[reef furnace]

Can't think of anything else

[sage sandal]

same but crit % is so ungodly low that it is quite literally 1 in a million no? the flesh damage of warmageddon would check out if it did crit

[sage sandal]

thanks, usually people say the opposite, i appreciate that!

[wise osprey]

I’m thinking of time management you know. Spawn in to shoreline to run and then transit. Then play it safe to kill the bosses. Compare to spawn in labs and run around freely almost hit all the spots and out in 10-15 min

[sage sandal]

i hope you die less too !

[reef furnace]

It's low, but never zero

[magic yacht]

If you are by yourself pistol scavs or gas canisters, but if you have a friend get a korund or any vest that can carry a heavy armor plate and have the friend zero it with a Blicky

[reef furnace]

[sage sandal]

yea, true. takes around the same time just to get into labry. might have to just grind what youre doin if its working

[mystic marsh]

U da goat

[sage sandal]

i cant be, because you are.

[mystic marsh]

what's your region

[sage sandal]

NA

i can peep if EU servers have tolerable ping

but my mic also broke recently so itd be hard to duo up atm

[rare field]

You'd profit more off labs then running laby tbh, by the time you finish 1 laby run you'd probly ran labs 3-4 times already

[thin wyvern]

Labs way more profitable

[rare field]

Like labs shoudn't take more then 6-7 mins giv or take

[mystic marsh]

Yes that's me

[orchid crest]

Does anyone know if labs counts towards that one fence quest where you have to kill 7 PMC without killing scavs? Also if anyone happens to know do raiders count as scavs in that case?

[tulip mesa]

Any loot guides or tips? I know some places have rares in corners and crevices that most people walk past.

[karmic nexus]

I could explain but I dont wanna type all that out

[copper badge]

I think raiders count as scavs but I did that Fence quest on labs without planning to. Just got an insane PMC spawn at the bottom of the stairs down from the red/violet room. I think 9 spawned and got the quest done. No raiders on way out.

[karmic nexus]

Anything non pmc counts as a scav

[elder tartan]

Here is a strange question: I am level 41 and have yet to run into the Goons. Is this normal for this wipe?

[karmic nexus]

https://www.goon-tracker.com/pvetracker
https://www.tarkov-goon-tracker.com/pve

[crystal umbra]

Rng spawns. I ran into them a lot in my early lvl 1-20 on customs but have barely seen them afterwards maybe like once or twice so far

[copper badge]

Yeah, when I didn't have the gear or ammo I saw them all the time. Now not so much.

[crystal umbra]

Ofc it always goes like this: when you dont wanna meet them, you suddenly end up with Big Pipe and Knight hunting your ass down across the map.

When you actually do need to find them (quests etc), they are off in early retirement and nowhere near you.

Just tarkov things reallly

[karmic nexus]

How I felt legit an hour ago, got my quest done after 5-7 raids

[crystal umbra]

If you actively wanna look for them, I'd just keep running Customs and hang around Crackhouse/Stronghold. 80% of time I kept running into them there

Woods is the shittiest spot to fight them in IMO and Shoreline is like 50/50 due to weather station building cover

[crystal umbra]

Did you take them head on or funnel them into a building/hallway? I feeln like it's almost impossible fighting them in the open

[karmic nexus]

Well I was chillin in a room in Stronghold and they decided to chase me into the room so I just spammed fired

[undone coral]

Hold a corner and aim head high

[crystal umbra]

Big Pipe shoots at me with an m60 burst and like 70% of his fucking bullets hit

Bro does not know recoil

I have survived with 0 hp from Killa this wipe

he had Luger CCI, I ended up with multiple bleedings without zagustin, fixed the last bleeding with 0 HP on the screen

[crystal umbra]

Ye thats what I been trying to do. I noticed they always try to rush you and powerslide in front of you before shooting. So long as you are fast enough and shoot them in the head before they finish their animation, its not so bad imo

Ofc sounds easy in theory, in actual raid i probably panic burst into their chest plate and the doorfame behind them and get one tapped in eyes

[carmine remnant]

he's wearing the glock hat

[mystic marsh]

that's not me

[karmic nexus]

I appreciate Lighthouse to Reserve Location. I just found out I didnt have Norther Checkpoint and if car wasnt here I would def be going to Reserve to RR out lol

[winged karma]

does killing santa tag and curse you now or something?

scavs and bosses are literally charging me on reserve right now

I had gluhar and his guards run down to bunker

[hot epoch]

did anyone see the goons?

[rich elbow]

got the agent deployment report in like an hour instead of 12-24. am i boned?

[subtle valve]

I did. Customs 1h ago

[hot epoch]

hmm, just been there, guess i dodged them somehow

[subtle valve]

Meh.. I killed priest and 2 cultists and one headtapped me from some bush :/

Customs is extremally unlucky for me today

[nocturne summit]

yayyyy you killed uncle fungus

[stone goblet]

@karmic nexus please do not link websites that violate the TOS

or discuss them

before you say "they're user reports"

[karmic nexus]

Didnt know they violated them

[stone goblet]

the websites have datamining links

[karmic nexus]

All good, no stress, wont happen again

[rare field]

You tell em Butch good work

[devout nest]

Is Labs Red/Res still one of the better ways to farm ammo? I feel like it's been gutted and last 3 runs I didn't get ANY M995, M993 or PPBS. Where the hell do I farm this stuff, is there any craftable ammo decent for Labrys?

[rare field]

both still great for ammo

[karmic nexus]

Dont forget Armory key in middle area

[devout nest]

I actually had forgot this one, thanks!

[devout nest]

I must have terrible RNG because it's felt TERRIBLE the last few days. I think I only got 993 ammo on like one out of ten runs

[night wren]

How do you guys farm xp? im almost 59 trying to get to 61 asap

[karmic nexus]

I dont get my 5.45x39 though, M4 ammo all the time

[karmic nexus]

Other than quests that give you a ton Transit

[nimble spindle]

Where in the world can I find majaca coffee it is nowhere it legit don't exist

[night wren]

any strategy for it? im not 100% sure how transit multipliers work

[karmic nexus]

Ration suplply crates

[devout nest]

I'm just trying to find good ammo for Labrys and only had decent luck with M993 or PPBS

[night wren]

is it just a flat multiplier to the end of raid, for every transit?

[karmic nexus]

Kill as much as you can, keep going till you cant, kill bosses if you want, just play and transit pretty much

[devout nest]

I thought transit exp multiplier didn't apply to pve

[nimble spindle]

I will try and those are mostly in... customs ?

wait in reserve too!

[night wren]

how do u know D:

[karmic nexus]

No idea

[karmic nexus]

Reserve 100% underneath bunker and in D2 Switch and underneath Black Bishop

[devout nest]

Doing multiple transits. before they fixed the lighthouse/shoreline kill 5 scavs in village, I was hoping back and forth and hardly got any exp after like 4 transits in a row

[rich elbow]

just got 4 bitcoins and a ledx on labs and i just started looting

[nimble spindle]

Thank you!

[steep wagon]

holy daily quests #screenshots message

[karmic nexus]

Damn that must be nice

[nimble spindle]

does the amd fsr eat the AA ?

like does stufflook blurry ?

[karmic nexus]

I thought you were talking about something tarkov related and I was like what the hell are those words

[hazy gorge]

arena is like a bipolar gf

[karmic nexus]

More like a crazy girlfriend all the time

[hazy gorge]

it either loves you or kicks you in the nuts

[nimble spindle]

I know for sure it increases latency and I despise that stuff

apparently the 2.2 doesnm't increase latency

but I have a feeling it might my 20/20 vision decreast to 1.5/1.5

[karmic nexus]

Just a reminder everyone. Dont use the TAC30 with nightvision lol

[hazy gorge]

one match i get enemy team full of infants that cannot press left mouse then the second match is filled with the sweatiest arena players i have ever seen

[cursive abyss]

What durability would you retire a gun at

[nimble spindle]

90

[misty ember]

lower than 90

[nimble spindle]

SMG 100% 90% would just yeet it MP9 goes away if it sits at 90

[rare field]

My glock is at 3.8

[karmic nexus]

90 at the minimum but sometimes at 95 just cause

[finite tide]

love losing 4 gpus cause a raider just instant head taps me

[quartz thicket]

Has anyone seen a firesteel lately? i haven't seen one since christmas started and its my last collector item

[cursive abyss]

Goy my dumb bell weekly done

Gonna throw that shit into my stash

[rich elbow]

wow i didnt realize you could go into residental labs this whole time lol

[karmic nexus]

I find a few in safes and loose treasure spawns. Found one just a sec ago around Christmas tree

[quartz thicket]

Yeah I've been running Violet+Yellow, woods+customs trees, and any safe i can find. haven't seen one in weeeeeeks

I found like 4 in one labs raid before the loot nerf, didn't realize i was missing it

[karmic nexus]

I got about 3 in my inventory, I can bring one in for you lol

[quartz thicket]

Gotta be FIR

[karmic nexus]

That way you can see what it looks like

[karmic nexus]

That was apart of the joke

[quartz thicket]

Lol youre mean

Even opening all the gifts i find to hope it pops, nope 😭

[orchid crest]

I’m so sorry I have like 20 of those guys

[quartz thicket]

I can find 3 current converters in one raid but not the fucking fire steel 😂 😭

Oo a nut sack

[orchid crest]

I will say I find a lot of fire steel at the south west camp on interchange where the flare extract is

[rich elbow]

4 bitcoins, 3 rams, 2 intel, and a ledx from a rushjob of a labs run lol

[pearl quarry]

i see them all the time at scav camp interchange by flare extract, on ground behind cars

[quartz thicket]

idontbelieveyou*gif

[pearl quarry]

ok

[karmic nexus]

Actually I think I've seen the most on reserve due to searching 30 toolboxes every raid

[clever yarrow]

Shove them in your container

[hazy gorge]

and arena crashes in the middle of a match

[nimble spindle]

remind me, as a scav I cannot escape via D2 - right ?

[quartz thicket]

Correct

[nocturne summit]

santa gave me moonshineeee

[obsidian linden]

Are any of the marked keys worth it atm? Heard good things about the reserve ones

[quartz thicket]

Streets ones have been overall decent, couple stinkers

[karmic nexus]

Reserve at about 1 mill a hit will pay itself off at the end of a key

[upper kettle]

can i re-enter terminal after completing the game

[karmic nexus]

The amount of keycards I've pulled is wild

[karmic nexus]

Dont think so but I can be wrong

[obsidian linden]

Which one in particular?

[karmic nexus]

All 3

[nocturne summit]

no not until you presitge (there is no prestige in pve rn

once you beat it thats it

[stone goblet]

or you reset your profile via website

[obsidian linden]

Well yea but that's cringe, tbh I'd rather wait for them to implement Prestige, assuming they do it within the next decade or so

[nocturne summit]

theyll do it when they remaster tarkov

[karmic nexus]

1-3 business years

[quartz thicket]

First we had Valve time, now we have BSG time, at least valve time gave us a good product lmao

[rare field]

Tagilla clapped Santa wtf!

[sharp obsidian]

Can’t you buy them?

[sharp obsidian]

See, whatd i tell you. 2.5m for it is nuffin

[nimble spindle]

didn't find no mayaca coffee dammit

[sharp obsidian]

Id still run ultra as well

[vapid leaf]

yo can someone gimme some tips to consistently killing SoT in the labyrinth. havent been in there since the event last year

[quartz thicket]

T6 ammo and headshots. jk i haven't run labyr yet

[vapid leaf]

thats the usual lol. i meant in the sense of tactics, positioning etc

is his chase ai still fucked?

[sage sandal]

think so, just bait him back to your spawn and thats it

[dreamy ore]

hell...

[vapid leaf]

alright, so same tactics as in the event, but he goes into your room now right?

[dreamy ore]

I just logged in and a bunch of items are missing from my inventory

[karmic nexus]

When was the last time you logged in?

[dreamy ore]

last night

[karmic nexus]

Weird, try sending bsg a support ticket

[dreamy ore]

Specifically my MCX Spear, all my 25 rd mags, all gone.

[rich elbow]

2000+ scavs and not a single bloody key

[karmic nexus]

What key?

[quartz thicket]

Sorry i wanted to try out the spear 🙁

[vapid leaf]

the door key i think

[rich elbow]

bloody rusty key

[dreamy ore]

It's literally missing from my wall.

And the mags are all gone.

Like it was removed from the game.

[quartz thicket]

I pulled one from the cultists last night

[karmic nexus]

That key only spawns on the map rather than on scavs

[karmic nexus]

noted

[vapid leaf]

im aware yeah. so i was a bit confused

[quartz thicket]

Thats false, with 1.0 it was added to the loot pool

[rich elbow]

i just find it in the perma spawn area

[karmic nexus]

Sick

[pearl quarry]

i have had pistol case go missing with all the pistols inside

[dreamy ore]

This is very specific.

never mind. I'm a fucking idiot.

I put it on my second mannequin and forgot

[quartz thicket]

I got lvl 2, got one dressed up as Knight and the other big Pipe

once I get lvl 3 ima make the other one Birdeye 😄

[dreamy ore]

I dont arena.

[hazy gorge]

theta container has been done

[rare field]

Theta gamers

[rich elbow]

i cant wait to find out im soft locked from Batya because i got the document early

Batya is such a shitty ass bugged questline its insane

[quartz thicket]

Story lines are bugged af. Always showing up as red uncompleted tasks after you finish them

[rich elbow]

they at least complete but i have a feeling Batya wont finish at all

[quartz thicket]

Its also dumb you only get one raid to complete some shit. Missed some info items? too bad fucko

[finite tide]

cant already had 2

[clever yarrow]

Then good keep those two

[finite tide]

i just alt f4ed not losing my kit to that shit

[quartz thicket]

thats technically an exploit, mods will be mad if you dont delete

[obsidian linden]

Apparently Glukhar can spawn in the underground part by the train station

I did NOT know that

[quartz thicket]

I usually find him there or in bk

[finite tide]

i dont care

mods can ban me if they want

[quartz thicket]

yeah thats like their job

[obsidian linden]

Stg this game will have you wondering why the military doesn't just use Chainlink Fencing for body armor

[finite tide]

real good job banning someone exploiting a pve game mode

[vale atlas]

I had a post deleted and got a warning because i asked about a site that i vaguely remembered/asked about it existing to help figure out where goons are lol

Mods seem a little high strung here lol

[finite tide]

thats fucking stupid

[vale atlas]

It wasn't even exploity but i think the description of what it was was close enough to the name of the site? and they started talking about datamining and other such stuff i'd have no way of knowing lol

[obsidian linden]

P sure it's cause BSG are actually involved in this Discord, it's not just a fan thing and there are employees here

[quartz thicket]

The goon sites dont even use datamining, they're player reported

[vale atlas]

Ha it was the goon one too

[vivid sage]

anyone that has rpdn barter unlocked want to drop me 1/2 in factory? Can't buy the MCB kuz im not level 35 yet 🙁

[vale atlas]

Its ok its no big deal it just means we know we gotta be careful lol

Can't mention external sites just in case they are frowned upon

[stone goblet]

they have links to datamining

the primary purpose of the site doesnt have to be directly linked to datamining

but what is contained within the site as a whole

[young frost]

what even is datamining ? rock n stone or smth ?

[quartz thicket]

Checking code differences

[vale atlas]

I'm curious, what's the issue people have with datamining to begin with? as long as you're not manipulating the data i cant see the harm

i could be missing something obvious though, i do that lol

[stone goblet]

its just against the tarkov TOS

[quartz thicket]

Nikitia is a crybaby and wants people to find stuff organically (yeah fucking right)

[vale atlas]

Gotcha, just boilerplate against the rules kinda stuff

[obsidian linden]

using the games code to find out the exact values of stuff

[stone goblet]

yes

[finite tide]

that is correct

[stone goblet]

and the tarkov TOS is followed in the discord too

[vale atlas]

Ah this is a partnered discord then

Yeah those are usually stricter

[obsidian linden]

It's also a publicly viewable one so it has some of Discords shitty rules for such servers

[vivid sage]

anyone that has rpdn barter unlocked want to drop me 1/2 in factory? Can't buy the MCB kuz im not level 35 yet 🙁

[devout nest]

Anyone know any good spots to 'farm' for PPBS ammo? Want to try NL545 in Labrys but want at least a few hundred rounds

[marble bronze]

For other games it ruins the fun of finding shit organically. Like I remember back in the early Destiny 2 days coming up on the in world activity to gain access to the Whisper mission. No one knew it was coming and it was a blast just figuring shit out because no one knew what was going on. For Tarkov, IDGAF cuz this shit isn't intuitive half the time anyway.

[rare field]

Use BS instead

[obsidian linden]

Really any BEAR camp, check out the one by the Flare Extract on Interchange, once found 3 120 boxes in a single go

[vale atlas]

Oh i get the spoiler aspect of it, if people do want to do things organically they should be able to. I guess i was looking at it more along the lines of datamining that people do in games to find out things like damage numbers, health values etc.

[devout nest]

I thought the ammo here was nerfed into the ground like 1-2 weeks ago. I use to love this place for BT/BS + fuel, but haven't found much the last week or so

[marble bronze]

Batya camps, second floor back of fortress on customs have been good to me

[obsidian linden]

Yea using rounds like Igolnik is just a general bad idea, BS and BP are better choices since the pen difference is negligible at that fire rate so it's mostly about Damage

[quartz thicket]

i swear to god i'll find 100 pairs of johnnyb's before i find a firesteeel

[vale atlas]

Ignolnik is only a few points of damage lower isn't it?

[obsidian linden]

All loose loot was nerfed iirc, so it's gonna be the same everywhere in that regard. Just hit up the same spots you otherwise would

[vale atlas]

Does it actually add up to a whole extra bullet at any point?

[devout nest]

BS also don't PEN level 6 like butter, so wouldn't BS struggle a bit more on Shadow of Tagilla head?

[vale atlas]

Oh its actually a lot less damage lol

ignore me

[obsidian linden]

It's nearly 10 less damage than BS in exchange for like one less bullet that MIGHT get absorbed by the armor

[marble bronze]

AVT with BT/SNB/BS will fuck em up pretty good too

[quartz thicket]

what is this shit, a white flare in marked twice in a row

[marble bronze]

Marked rooms are trash now, sell key or keep for later

[vale atlas]

I like marked rooms for the 338s lol

[obsidian linden]

Yea that's cause Full Caliber rounds like that deal enough damage with their highest pen options that they're mostly fine to run, although at a certain point the damage debuff from the increased pen starts to make the ammo overall worse

[vale atlas]

i still haven't unlocked them on traders yet

[devout nest]

Save for later if you don't need the cash

[obsidian linden]

Apparently the ones in Reserve and Streets have still been decent

[quartz thicket]

I get a black card like 1/8 runs on a dorms key

[marble bronze]

Wouldn't agree with Reserve tbh

[devout nest]

Streets marked rooms also feel like ass, just gonna sit on my keys for a few weeks and see if anything changes

[karmic nexus]

I hit all the Marks on Reserve and have gotten so many keycards. Competely worth buying for about 1 mill per hit

[marble bronze]

Bunker is dogshit (always was tbh), and dorm and barracks are mid at best unless you like mostly guns

[obsidian linden]

Haven't been running any marked keys, just goin off of what I've heard

[rare field]

+1 stress res lvl per 10 raids

[quartz thicket]

I'll just run Res Unit when they buff loot again, marked rooms are aight

[devout nest]

Wait are the marked keys down to only 10mil?

[marble bronze]

Yeah I found a set of reserve keys, been running them to 1 use for the jeager barter

[rare field]

15 ish
