[rare field]

Time to flop some fireworks to fence

[distant obsidian]

Why dat

[sharp obsidian]

15 reapr ir, 8 taiga, 4500 sost,

[rare field]

honestly idc shooting them waiting for a drop loot it all drop it all

[distant obsidian]

Ah yeah fair

[sharp obsidian]

The fact it takes a whole 3-5m to drop entirely

[round quarry]

I always check the Chalet near the village and the water treatment plant. But usually I spawn right next to the lighthouse, so I run through the entire map.

[rare field]

See thats basicly a factory run

waste of time for me

Dead chat

[quartz thicket]

pop it by flare extract, walk away to do other shit, loot and take flare extract

[thorn oriole]

how do I make my LPVOs not look like shit rn?

I remember hearing it somewhere but I forgot

[dense sentinel]

yea i usually go to interchange and hit the two camps up for ammo spawns and then the tree and head to whatever extract there is pop fireworks loot any cool shit outta the container and exfil

[marsh ferry]

Dlss off or something like that

[distant obsidian]

Either use dlss4.5 or taa

[proper spoke]

314 had a flechette shells and an mp7. thats it.

BSG what the fuck

[quartz thicket]

welcome to post loot nerf tarkov

[distant obsidian]

You know that meme with the kid sticking that stick into his bike spokes? That's you people right now opening rooms

It's your own fault at this point

[rough cypress]

i was wondering, looted whole labs and made like 400k

where's the goop at

[pseudo tulip]

@sharp obsidian late reply to your message last night but yeah I reset, tbh its fun starting over!

[distant obsidian]

You didn't loot all of labs if you only made 400k lol

[marsh ferry]

I got yellow violet and a green in 314 last night

[rough cypress]

black had 4 stims, green had 3 stims, res had prokill and a poster

violet had gun parts and the dumbells which im not picking up

[distant obsidian]

Yeah that's all of labs lol

[marsh ferry]

They just dont want us to play anymore

[rough cypress]

red is ammo so im not counting that

[marsh ferry]

No loot to get no point to play

[distant obsidian]

You missed a lot of spawns if that it.

[rough cypress]

i've done too many lab raids to be missing spawns lol

[crimson meteor]

if you fully loot labs its at least 1m if not more i bring in a huge bag with rigs for more loot

[clever yarrow]

Kill Santa every raid and get a free pilgrim that’s what I do

[marsh ferry]

I have been finding gpu like crazy though

[crimson meteor]

thats blasphemy

[clever yarrow]

Hey if he don’t drop moonshine I KOS

That’s my Motto

[night wren]

if i have a daily to kill killa does labyrinth work?

[crimson meteor]

he can have a marked key in his bag so its not a bad idea

[quartz thicket]

I get my two drops and if its not great drops he gets unsanta'd

[distant obsidian]

@rare field man this loot qq I do great

[rough cypress]

oh i did find a few so i guess it's not that bad

[magic yacht]

nope

[night wren]

rip

[distant obsidian]

People have no idea how or loot if they can't pick up a ledx on labs off a free spawn.

[crimson meteor]

he doesnt count for the killa achievement either

[magic yacht]

atp im just stunted how it's easier to get ledx and gpu from free spawns than looting rooms that require keys

[orchid crest]

My best loot from Santa has been a t plug and a pair of stained underwear

[crimson meteor]

i havent got anything better than moonshine but ive seen clips of people getting marked keys

[rare field]

Man i looted half of labs and ran out with 2 GPU's 2 ram sticks a bitcoin and a leddy

[orchid crest]

Those keys are paid actors I swear

[distant obsidian]

Money is in every corner of this game. You don't need labs or keys right now

[distant obsidian]

Hahahah

[rare field]

and thats just wanted to get 4 survival daily over with

[orchid crest]

I just need that stuff for lvl 3 intel center, I’m pretty sure it’s all in labs

[solid nebula]

Imagine Tarkov had a BR mode

[distant obsidian]

Yeah unless you need the labs items

[magic yacht]

Yea and that's kinda stupid imo, since the only reason to actually go to labs right now is to get T3 Intelligence Center, Solar Power and a few tasks alongside progressing the story

[distant obsidian]

No

[distant obsidian]

Ain't nothing wrong with that. Play other maps

[dense sentinel]

which is why ive kinda not gone in there since my first failed run but i do want to get solar and intel 3 now so one of these nights i gotta suck it up and get in there to find what i need

[orchid crest]

COFDM and Far Forward GPS unit I’m guessing are in labs?

[clever yarrow]

Question anyone know a garuantee way to sacrifice items for a vpx?

[orchid crest]

Cause I cannot find one of either for the life of me

[minor elbow]

WTF

a scav had the Key 02 from labyrinth in his backpack

[willow tinsel]

They sometimes drop that

[dense sentinel]

yea ive had some interesting spawn loot on my scav runs lol

[orchid crest]

I’ve seen this happen many times in my games, you can’t keep it sadly when you leave

[willow tinsel]

But once you get out of the raid it dissappear

[orchid crest]

Yee

[crimson meteor]

i wouldnt do labs for COFDM reserve is better

[orchid crest]

Anyone got info about this?

[crimson meteor]

pkpts key has them very often

[stone goblet]

i have never seen a cofdm in labs before

[orchid crest]

Huh!! I’ve been running reserve non stop, checking that dang storage room too

[willow tinsel]

They cab spawn in labs

[young frost]

gpsa should be easy to find in red/yellow/violent. ive never seena cofdm in labs tho

[orchid crest]

Saved!

[willow tinsel]

I got both ghere but rarely, pkpt is your best bet yea

[orchid crest]

Ahh okay so GPS labs, COFDM reserves

That’s a huge help, I try to stay away from the wiki when I can

[magic yacht]

Youre missing the point of restricted areas beeing supposed to have loot in them, since its not only a case for labs, labyrs is also affected, and pretty much all marked rooms.
Only reason for them to exist atp is for tasks and that's stupid, since it makes them just as irrelevant as Terminal

[distant obsidian]

Ain't nothing wrong with the wiki

[distant obsidian]

Supposed to have loot? Based on what. Bsg decides that. If they don't want them to have loot, that's how it's supposed to be

[orchid crest]

Nah nothing wrong with it, as an ex RuneScape player I’ve learned I stop having fun when I start maximizing efficiency, and boy am i having a blast haha

But that’s just me personally ofc

[magic yacht]

That doesnt make it any less stupid though, especially if its an area that isnt even tied to a task, like lighthouse marked room for example

[willow tinsel]

Just wait after 18th, maybe lootpool is affected cause of winter event

[clever yarrow]

I look at it like this…. Rng is a factor…. If you get it then good :). if not then that’s ok do another run and repeat, loot other areas, try other doors

[orchid crest]

Spending 7m just to get cult pt 2 done was kind of annoying to be honest

I know I could have asked someone from here, but I did not lol

[magic yacht]

That's also an issue im having, if marked rooms arent that great for loot but needed for tasks the keys should be more common imo, same with that dragnet keycard

[crimson meteor]

dragnet and broadcast part 5 also need expensive keys

[orchid crest]

Yeah I’m not looking forward to that lol, I have to do dragnet for kappa but I don’t think broadcast pt 5

[loud raptor]

Broadcast 5 is only kill the priest no?

[young frost]

polikims not even expensive anymore

[crimson meteor]

no you need to plant a cultist knife in the chek marked room

after killing priest

[orchid crest]

Sometimes quests just feel like money sinks, sometimes they ARE money sinks (like give peacekeeper 25k etc)

[loud raptor]

I forgot about that part, these tasks are so quick to complete

Give skier 50k euro twice

[wispy seal]

have the ref tasks been fixed?

[orchid crest]

That solar power upgrade, yeah straight money sink LOL

[crimson meteor]

most of them yeah some will take a long time like calibration and connections up north drip outs etc

[uncut crow]

holy slow servers

[simple summit]

tarkov crashed

[loud raptor]

Solar power only cost me 21mil, it dropped recently tho

[crimson meteor]

speaking of calibration does anyone have a good strat for this?

[orchid crest]

Solar power will be my last, just got my air filter crafting, and only need mannequin, hall of fame, weapon rack, and btc farm one more upgrade each

I’m feelin good

[loud raptor]

tbh calibration I just went dome

[orchid crest]

Oh and intel center

[crimson meteor]

good shout i didnt think of reserve

[loud raptor]

Tbh every tasks where I need pmcs at over 100m I go either reserve or lighthouse

[desert crater]

Well I learned something today

[orchid crest]

Selling my streets marked key because I can barely run streets 😁

17mil come to papa

[desert crater]

Apparently you can survive with just ur right arm

[crimson meteor]

bro i need the rusted bloody key to come to papa

[orchid crest]

Lmao

[orchid crest]

You can survive with anything as long as you have at least 1hp, now the blacked stomach might finish you off tho

[desert crater]

bro I opened it to do the quest and got 2 junk keys and thats it the room is boof

[crimson meteor]

yeah its not great anymore but its a pain in the ass to get the key to spawn

i swear it only spawns when i dont go to the mall

[desert crater]

I mean I ran across the entire map with just my right arm

[orchid crest]

That’s awesome lmao, give your PMC something nice to eat haha

He earned it

[desert crater]

true Im hoping the room gets a buff thats when ill use my quest reward one

[desert crater]

Yurrr

[magic yacht]

Considering that they effectivly removed wipes from pvp aswell now and only have seasonal characters they should just get rid of money sinks that hinder task progression

[orchid crest]

I agree, I mean end of the day it’s not like the worst thing in the world but it definitely is a sort of time waster, ya boy only has 2-3 hours to game a day if I even get to get on at all

[stone goblet]

considering pvp doesnt wipe, it is more reason to have money sinks

[desert crater]

I mean arent most of the money sink quests not really needed that they don't give much

[stone goblet]

you have all the time in the world because the character isnt going anywhere

[orchid crest]

Don’t get me wrong I love mindlessly killing in Tarkov but most the times I want to get stuff done, and farming gear for money to finish a quest feels like I could be doing something else

[desert crater]

the only money sinks I've found dumb was the like 20k usd to unlock lighthouse and the 200k eruos for final stash upgrade

[magic yacht]

biggest issues I can think of are friends from the west part 1, and the 250k rubles and 20k dollars to access streets and lighthouse

[marsh ferry]

I liked the money sinks when I had 300mil not 12mil

[magic yacht]

I was mainly talking about tasks, but yes this is also a big offender

[orchid crest]

The 200k euros is basically an incentive to just buy the more expensive edition for stash lol

[desert crater]

I mean friend from the west isnt that much tho

[desert crater]

I know

[orchid crest]

It’s like come on man respect my time a little bit at least

[jolly cosmos]

servers are so bad today lmfao

[magic yacht]

Its not itself, but it adds up when you combine the money sinks

[orchid crest]

But I never really had a stash problem honestly once you start getting cases it’s not an issue

[jolly cosmos]

how do people still give money to this game

[desert crater]

Fair but I just want to have my hideout maxed cuz seeing it all maxed make brain happy

[orchid crest]

How do people give money to any games after they already purchased it I’m not sure

[rough badge]

Bro that was probably my best run on terminal yet

[orchid crest]

100% agreed

[rough badge]

holy shit

[marsh ferry]

Nothing else to give my money to and with how much I play ot makes it worth it

[median kite]

??codes

[jolly cosmos]

by buyng the million expansions bsg has to offer lmfao??

pve arena??

[rough badge]

Got the pier key, went back the same way I did getting there. Kill a BD, Go to loot him and I die :/

[median kite]

bouta say chat

[rough badge]

But I just got unfortunate timing and I died

[orchid crest]

Lol no I know exactly how they do it, like the winter event, thank god helmets didn’t really matter but to play the game with a helmet you were required to spend $30 and spend a good amount of time on arena. It’s the principal of it that bothers me

[rough badge]

But that was a really good run from me tbh

Im proud of myself

[orchid crest]

Gz fury!

[rough badge]

Thanks. The only thing im confused about is after getting the pier key where tf do I go lmao

Like do I backtrack all the way to C4 gate

Or do I go through the fence where BD spawn is

[verbal jasper]

There are plenty of runs on youtube

[jolly cosmos]

ofc i just got one tapped by a scav

[desert crater]

you didnt have to play cuz you could also after buying the pass just buy lvls for it

[rough badge]

ill probably watch some runs tbh. But in the admin building theres a bug where scavs phase through the wall. Then if you go through the 2nd set of doors, they will just spawn inside the safe room

I had at least 7 scavs come into the safe room

[orchid crest]

Lmao that’s even worse haha

[desert crater]

Yurrrrrr

[verbal jasper]

Didnt see that happen yet ngl

[vernal ridge]

my dumbass accidentally jumped off dome because i was getting pushed by gluk's goons

[rough badge]

Yeah, I closed the door where you use the keycard. They all stacked up to the wall next to the door, and 1 just phased through like he was god

I was terrified lmao

[verbal jasper]

lol

[rough badge]

I was CMSing too

[verbal jasper]

typical tarkov

[orchid crest]

[marsh ferry]

Anyone know how long it takes for fence to reach out?

[rough badge]

24-48 hours

[rough badge]

Literally bro im not even joking 😭

[desert crater]

dw my dumb ass one interchange raid went to run down an escalator and ran of inbetween the escalator and wall and just fell to my death

[rough badge]

Bro phased through that wall with pure evil intent

[marsh ferry]

Thanks

[orchid crest]

Does network provider have a time limit for when they reach out too? I have all the quests done but I don’t see the quest

Lvl 36 should be high enough no?

Wouldn’t be surprised honestly

[rough badge]

I think

Oh sorry., network p2 has a timegate

Every other quest doesnt

[marsh ferry]

I love timegates

[rough badge]

Up until key to the tower

[orchid crest]

Weird, I wonder why I’m not getting it? I haven’t killed Zyrachi or whatever his name is

[arctic scarab]

I killed zryachiy and still got the quest

i don't think Lightkeeper cares about you killings his home-grown cultists until you actually meet with him

[rough badge]

Thius

[orchid crest]

I’ll need to double check my completed quests, but I swear I’ve got everything done

[verbal jasper]

This

[orchid crest]

Regardless I still need to find like 3 more COFDMs

[arctic scarab]

Wait, did you do the Batya quest?

[distant obsidian]

https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Network_Provider_-_Part_1#Requirements

[arctic scarab]

Or the uh

What's the name

[orchid crest]

Up until intel center lvl 3, and then all the required quests

[arctic scarab]

Ticket?

[distant obsidian]

Or just do Batya and get LK that way

[orchid crest]

I still need that damn lvl 3 intel center it won’t progress Batya

[arctic scarab]

I think if you hand the case to Prapor, Kerman says to meet with lightkeeper

[prime spade]

you escaped yet?

[distant obsidian]

But you have about 6 more tasks to do to get the case back

Just so Batya and keep the case

[rough badge]

Nearly did

[arctic scarab]

yes

[rough badge]

Got pier key, went back through silos died to BD

But its the furtheset ive gotten

[prime spade]

ooo much farther good job! did the boom boom help?

[rough badge]

Yes

VERY

[prime spade]

excellent

[rough badge]

Helped me skip 2 BD spawnsa

But I came across a bug in admin building

[rough badge]

.

made me waste so much ammo

[prime spade]

have you tried a rocket launcher?

[nocturne gyro]

anyone hitting mark room willing to help me find a gingy keychain and WZ wallet I can compensate something

[rough badge]

Dont have it unlocked

[fleet loom]

i cant sell this armored rig i got back from insurance.... to anyone?

[prime spade]

maybe you should phone a friend

[worthy otter]

Then it’s too damaged

Fence will take it

[prime spade]

check inside the pockets

[fleet loom]

fence wont even take it

[rough badge]

Maybe. Ill have to uhhh call some buddies

wink

[tame lark]

IS THEIR ANYWAY TO RUN TERMINAL AS A TEAM

[rough badge]

No

[distant obsidian]

Then you have items in it

[fleet loom]

lol i didnt see the broken f1 nade picture

[tame lark]

😭

[fleet loom]

tiny nade

[rough badge]

Not yet

Hopefully soon tho

[left locust]

is Knossos_LLC key not 100% anymore?

[rough badge]

Should be 100

[prime spade]

got em

[distant obsidian]

Yes it is

[left locust]

two raids I check all 5 spots not there

[distant obsidian]

Scavs loot it

[left locust]

Im checking svavs pockets nothing

[prime spade]

they are only 430k each. Im sure SOMEONE has at least 2 to loan

[distant obsidian]

Loot your scavs

[prime spade]

soon TM

[rough badge]

Yeah I think I do know someone actually

Ill hit him up tomorrow

[lilac bone]

Of course when I get key to the tower the goons are at lighthouse, fml

[prime spade]

I bet he has a Santa bag that he keeps gifts in

[rough badge]

Oh yeah Ill go ask ded moroz

[arctic scarab]

Perchance bots have a "stash" of their own where they can hide items in, means they're gone for good

[distant obsidian]

No they don't

That's not a thing at all

[zinc oxide]

finally got my cultist kills after a hour or two of searching

[zinc oxide]

didnt get that lucky unfortunately on keys, still got rbvo though so ill take it

[magic yacht]

It technically is, but they only use it for ammo and mags, so practically any loot the AI has will be in pockets, backpack or rig

[distant obsidian]

Oof. I got a acid green, bk, 314 and vo

[distant obsidian]

And where is this stated lol.

[compact prairie]

Has anyone noticed crafting isn't contributing to hideout management skill? Or have they changed it and I didn't notice.

[distant obsidian]

Cause that is just not true.

[vernal ridge]

All i need is one more suppressed headshot

[arctic scarab]

I just got BEAR Gladiator pants from Arena, they look so good with USEC Predator(if only "Snowball" didn't fucking softlock)

[zinc oxide]

lucky man

[distant obsidian]

O and a factory keycard thingy

[worthy otter]

The part about ammunition definitely is true

[zinc oxide]

1st priest i got polokilim and 2nd i got rbvo

[distant obsidian]

I thought they just auto topped up the mags

[worthy otter]

You can watch AI shoot around 1500 rounds before they run out

[distant obsidian]

They dont have infinite top ups? I thought some mags got auto loaded when they hit the rig

[worthy otter]

No

[chrome musk]

Some1 please help me, ive done almost 25raids on customs now trying to find cultist, I run all over the entire fortress area. I NEVER seen a single cultist, what am I doing wrong ? :S

[zinc oxide]

all bosses (scavs too maybe? and any other ai) have a secret hidden safe container with thousands of slots.

[worthy otter]

They can run out

[magic yacht]

Its not in the wiki itself, but there is a secure container in the game that has a fuckton of space, cheaters used to RTM it, and its invisible when placed on AI enemies

[distant obsidian]

Interesting. Also explains why AI eat up so much server/local resources

That's a lot of extra bs to load

[magic yacht]

I just know of it because I saw a video about cheaters RTM'ing this big ass secure container, and after doing some more digging I found out that's what AIs have on them and pull reserve ammo from when their mags run out, which is why they can fire thousands of bullets before beeing empty

[arctic scarab]

Realisitic gameplay

[distant obsidian]

Yeah, not sure I've seen an AI run out of ammo before, hence why i thought they had infinite from auto top ups

[nocturne summit]

If only it wasn't bugged an would be fixed soonnnnn

[zinc oxide]

oof sorry admin wont bring that up again i suppose

[arctic scarab]

I really hope so

I wonder how the bug is works on itself, though

[magic yacht]

Ive seen it once happen while cheesing tagilla on factory window, on some angles he tries to fire at you through the wall but can't penetrate it, needs perfect positioning for it to happen though

[arctic scarab]

Like... Does the local version on the game just doesn't register the progress?

[nocturne summit]

Honestly I doubt it it's been bugged since 1.0 dropped an im stuck on 13/13

[arctic scarab]

but displays it wrongly?

[arctic scarab]

Same, and you can't even nullify it by death

i can't even restart, like, MAN...

[nocturne summit]

The second I go into a bsg server it gives me it but when I extract nah acts like I never got it

[arctic scarab]

i had a thought of trying doing it purely on local servers, but that means i have to hunt down the partisan again.

[magic yacht]

One of my friends who plays the game on Steam gets the "Ready for Anything" achievment pop-up when starting any PMC Raid, despite him not having the achievment nor getting progress for it

to this day no fix for that either lol

[arctic scarab]

Yeah it's like annoying you "hey man you got the achievement good job! no reward for you though"

[zinc oxide]

partisan is easy to find I get him every other match, i have like 20 of his bags in my stash he always hunts me down

[surreal fossil]

bruh wtf is with pve and always spawning bosses

[arctic scarab]

ehhh i'm still wondering how his spawn works

[nocturne summit]

What's funny is I got all the kills without dying so if they reset my progress I'ma be fuming

[magic yacht]

Im guessing im just lucky since I have only seen him twice

[zinc oxide]

if he is in your match he spawns within 100m of your pmc and starts stalking you

[arctic scarab]

like, is it if you survive on local raids too much? Does he spawn in certain locations on maps? What's the spawn trigger

[zinc oxide]

random chance, since pmc karma doesnt exist in pve

[magic yacht]

in my case he just beelined it straight to my position

[zinc oxide]

sometimes his ai doesnt stalk and in fact aggros to you instantly lol from what ive noticed

[magic yacht]

ive reached a point where im wondering if he also aggro's on other AI PMCs that aren't you because my total encounter rate with him is 2 out of 550 PMC raids

[chrome musk]

Can any1 please help me? I must be doing something wrong, im trying to find cultist but I never seem to find them!

[arctic scarab]

I remember he spawned on woods once, near of the right side of the Sniper hill? i killed him, and gone to the cultist bunker near the old village, and all the way to there i was collecting his traps like mushrooms

[magic yacht]

"Ohh piece of Candy"

[arctic scarab]

They count as bosses, meaning if another boss spawns, they don't

atleast on customs

[zinc oxide]

He doesnt go for them directly but if he runs into them yes they do fight

[toxic patio]

if only bear had drip

[toxic patio]

farm them on ground zero, personally.

[chrome musk]

I did not know that, so if u find reshala there you might aswell insta extract?

[zinc oxide]

I got my kills on customs a bit ago in like 2 hours I got 2 priest kills so they are just sort of rare

[toxic patio]

or farm on other maps, like GZ, Shoreline

[zinc oxide]

make sure u check all spawns

[arctic scarab]

If you kill Reshala, it unlocks their spawn

[gaunt rune]

Gz should have a cool boss

[arctic scarab]

either that or extract trying to roll the next raid

[zinc oxide]

they need to add kollontay back to gz I never knew why they took him out

[chrome musk]

I dont know where all the spawns are, I usually run around the entire fortress area. Never seen them

[gaunt rune]

Kollontay not cool

[prime spade]

his kill count was too high

[zinc oxide]

I found both of mine in the one place where u plant cameras for ref they love surrounding that place

[civic plank]

skill issue then...i never had a problem with him

[zinc oxide]

if you got lucky enough you could machine gun them all with ease lol

[chrome musk]

Usually only peak throug the big door facing fortress, should I run through inside? or only outside?

[civic plank]

it was much easier there on GZ than it is on streets

[prime spade]

I never actually ran into him except maybe once. /shrug

[zinc oxide]

Outside only, they almost never go indoors unless they are chasing you

[arctic scarab]

When i was doing Snowball and had to kill Kollontay, i just approached the academy on Streets, threw a few nades in, noticed i killed him by accident and just ditched

[magic yacht]

Most of my GZ kills on kollontay were with the AGS lol

[chrome musk]

Thanks man, guess ill just keep farming xD but sucks big time if I have to do another 25runs or so

[magic yacht]

Just mounted the gun after not getting shot when approaching the window and then just sprayed towards terragroup HQ

[zinc oxide]

I got my two priest kills in 13 raids just make sure to check everywhere around fortress and the ref building

[zinc oxide]

free xp

[chrome musk]

All the way around ref building or just the parts facing towards fortress?

[zinc oxide]

all around ref building

[arctic scarab]

i think it's all the way around because they just, like, lie in the bushes.

[zinc oxide]

they hide near the tracks of the ref building also

[arctic scarab]

they didn't lie when they said that tarkov is a horror on Unity

i was really scared when i was trying to find them first time

only to find reshala instead

[zinc oxide]

cultists are scary at first but they are pretty easy ESPECIALLY because they have foot step audio now

[median kite]

Hi, what night vision should i use? i have most of the traders lvl 3 but prapor lvl elite and jeager lvl 2, and im lvl 36

[zinc oxide]

beforehand when they didnt was when they were creepy and jumpscared you

[chrome musk]

Is it worth hanging around in game after you scouted all spots? or is it better to extract and go again ?

[gentle atlas]

How’s the laberynth nowadays

Good loot?

[arctic scarab]

people say so

[proper spoke]

go again

[gentle atlas]

Any tips for fighting killa? He’s the only boss i repeatedly get diddied by

[proper spoke]

honestly I just aim for his head and never go to interchange with less than 545 BT

[civic plank]

get close. even m855 shreds the armor

[toxic patio]

use good ammo, and bait him into you using a flashbang or two

if he hears one within 50m, he hunts the thrower

[rare field]

grab aggro, let him come to you, throw nade, shoot him, free kill

[gentle atlas]

Easier said then done 🙄

[toxic patio]

you can use this to basically bait him to you, then, when you know where he is, throw another nade, while he's running away, blow him away

[proper spoke]

The hardest part of Killa for me is finding his ass before he finds me. He's a sneaky little guy.

[gentle atlas]

Yeah exactly y

By the time I find him I’ve lost both arms lol

[toxic patio]

yep and that's where the flashbang comes in

[gentle atlas]

So just chuck on in oil and idea before entering?

[toxic patio]

i go in the back of goshan, chuck one, and if he isn't there, throw one in the center of the mall and retreat

iirc he won't shoot through the kiba arms glass either

[gentle atlas]

It’s bulletproof no?

[proper spoke]

jesus christ the raid load music just popped on randomly

[rare field]

Not anymore

[gentle atlas]

Bruh

Why tf would they change that

Let us hope for my 2 terminal runs tonight I am magically hit with the anti bullshit death ray as a birthday gift

[toxic patio]

that's just willingness to kill tagilla lmao

[gentle atlas]

Killed that chump like 15 times trying to do secured perimeter lol

[marsh wing]

i didnt just kill partizan without realizing then accidentally shoot Ded moroz and die

[gentle atlas]

But I’d always fuck up his plates

That’s so fucking real

Santa needs to fuck off sometimes I stg

[rare field]

the amount of times tagilla died already within 30 seconds of a raid

like give him a buff already please

add killa to factory

[meager coyote]

Someone's on the naughty list, Santa has only brought me presents

What’s a good way to grind immunity

[gloomy widget]

Was the Keeper's Word quest (last for Labry) just for the event or is it still available if completing all the required quests (which I have done, but LK doesnt have anything for me)?

[gentle atlas]

Wiki says energy drink but it only gives 0.56 points per

Run stims drinks anything that gives negatives

[nocturne summit]

[gentle atlas]

I tried meldonin but it gave me nothin

Also the higher ur metabolism the less immunity xp as it reduces negative effects by X%

[gentle atlas]

True

[blazing breach]

is it a common thing that the arena cqcm mask skins differ in stats?

[gentle atlas]

Want to get at least immunity 9 before turning in crisis I think it is

[gentle atlas]

They don’t differ anymore

They’re all lvl 3

[rare field]

im 1000+ raids in with only lvl 16 immunity it lvls slow asf ngl

[blazing breach]

no im not talking about them being different to the original

between the skins

some of them weigh less or more

the new snow skin from tactical map has low ricochet chance

while others have high

[marsh wing]

its a shame i dont have room in my stash for all the promo stuff lol

[nocturne summit]

this idk i think they supposed to be the same , could be a bug

[gloomy widget]

Can yo check completed BTR quests somewhere?

[nocturne summit]

first raid i find my family

[quartz thicket]

If you dont shoot cultists do they just keep running around with knives out?

[gaunt rune]

idk they always shoot me

[quartz thicket]

I can usually bait them around with their knives out, but i start blastin once i see the priest

[sullen forum]

Lets see if I can make it to C4 today

[zinc oxide]

for me if I get too close to them or if I look at them for a bit too long they pull the guns out and start blasting

Are Labrys scavs broken? Killed Shadow of Tagilla, Killa, but the last gaggle of scavs shot me through the wall next to torture room and I died to M882 through level 6 plates #screenshots message

[subtle valve]

Reshala and guards are now on the hill on top of new gas station? SInce when?

[gentle atlas]

Reshala ai is Brain dead

[quartz thicket]

They chase an AI up there

[gentle atlas]

He wandered all the way to crackhouse without his guards for me

Died to ai bastard couldn’t even be bothered to let me kill him for jeager

[nocturne summit]

first raid with my family in a while i get the keycard for factory and rbpkm marked key

[devout nest]

I'm so sick of getting slimed in Labrys T_T I just wanna finish the story task

[quartz thicket]

I've had the guards kill each other or reshala trying to shoot me multiple times 😂

[rare field]

AI PMC can spawn top hill, Reshala AI decides LETS CHASE!

[vapid yarrow]

You want me to take you? I’ve been looking for an excuse to go back

[gentle atlas]

Just giving you a hard time Good on you mate

[nocturne summit]

im a cultist mfer

[bronze saddle]

oh god dammit SERIOUSLY?? i had EVERY oportunity to unlock the M10 Sako, but i didnt... how was i supposed to know they changed the preceding task

[devout nest]

I appreciate the offer, but I mostly want to learn wtf I'm doing wrong

[nocturne summit]

first raid since getting sick and i get lucky

[devout nest]

Thought for SURE level 6 plates and Altyn helmet would make it easier, killed both bosses but how I got BLASTED by M882 I have no idea

[subtle valve]

There were no shots and they are all camping there

[civic lintel]

Are Kabans guards bugged at the moment? Brothers were trying to gl me through a wall for a full 30 seconds

[vapid yarrow]

They seem kinda goofed up

[gentle atlas]

Ai in This game is just awful

[bronze saddle]

be FULLY aware these nibbas can and WILL snipe you with the HMG. i was inside the opposite building, checking the 2 cabiners inside a room and i almost died from it. it took a leg and 2 of my arms

[civic lintel]

Oh I've noticed. They've killed me a gl whilst I was inside a truck in the middle of the road 300 meters away

[vapid yarrow]

That corner GL is so annoying, if kaban is up that part of the map is basically inaccessible

[marsh wing]

i love spawning in customs and getting swarmed by 5 scavs and 2 pmcs. So glad i died 3 minutes in

[civic lintel]

Yeah I see that. I just wanted to do population census

[stone parcel]

are the goons always in the same place on customs right now?

[bronze saddle]

you know where the supermarket is that across the streets theres 2 snipers and in the middle of the road theres military cargo you can loot? the BTR has a stop there. if you are seen by the GL guard, that mofo can and WILL dmg you through the BTR and absolute zero your armor in the process

[civic lintel]

Jesus Christ

[fleet loom]

i stg elite pliers do not exist, i cannto get above security 1 🙁

[subtle valve]

All boss guards are crazy cheaters today

[fleet loom]

sanitar guards are kinda special today

[bronze saddle]

and even worse, if youre wearing a Tagilla mask, even though you are infront of them and shooting at them, they can MAGICALLY shoot you in the fucking nape like HOW?!?! that is not even humanly possible

[quartz thicket]

Pen the mask, go through your mouth, hit nape, gg ez

[civic lintel]

Isn't that a weird bug to with pen?

[bronze saddle]

when the fuck could pellets go through a full hp Tagilla mask?

[quartz thicket]

im obviously joking?

[gloomy widget]

The tab next to map? It has to be already completed quests, for BTR. For the others traders I can see in trader task menu

[bronze saddle]

and since the Tagilla mask is no longer lvl6, 2 BP rounds are beyond enough to send you to your stash

[civic lintel]

I think it's to do with neck being thorax now so it won't one tap. But if it pens neck it can hit the nape. At least that's how I think it works

[marsh wing]

i now only have 1 poster left that skier gave me to unlock Ref....

ive died with the other two

[wary heart]

well the nape is the back of the head and i don't know if tagillas mask protects the top or back of the head so

[clever thunder]

@marsh wing put it in your gamma

[marsh wing]

it doesnt allow for that

already tried

[clever thunder]

Documents case

[marsh wing]

im level 10

[bronze saddle]

if im facing you eye to eye, can you see my top of my head or my nape? not likely so the ONLY magical logic, is ricochet which again is rather stupid to be the case

[shrewd sand]

Is local failing again??????

[bronze saddle]

you can buy more from Skier if you lose em, dont worry

[wary heart]

i'm just telling you where the nape is bro. last i know tagillas mask protects the front, not the back.

[proper spoke]

let me guess by the checkpoint/warehouse

[bronze saddle]

yeah, i know that. i didnt yell at you

[marsh wing]

right next to zb-1011

yeah, the mil checkpoint

[proper spoke]

I thought so, its like the only point in customs that can get exciting.

[bronze saddle]

wait thats a bad spawn? i liked that spawn cause it was easy for me to encounter PMCs to farm the weapon test part 3 and also shooter born in heaven

[distant obsidian]

Yeah, good spawn for action

Bad spawn for skill issues

[bronze saddle]

almost 400 raids, only 11 deaths. not a skill issue for me lol

[distant obsidian]

Can also spawn beside the gooners there too lol. You generally just die in a black screen

[marsh wing]

I HATE CUSTOMS

[distant obsidian]

Not calling you one at all

[shrewd sand]

Me with woods rn

[bronze saddle]

hey id take Customs any day of the god damn week compared to Woods

its where all my deaths come from

[distant obsidian]

Love both maps

[marsh wing]

i literally didnt even make over the bridge in customs before getting 1 tapped in the head

at least im clearing my stash for more scav runs

[zinc oxide]

holy fence W rusted key for free

[distant obsidian]

You have to use your eyes. Bridge is always the most dangerous path to take

[fleet loom]

any way to remove the mouse from my screen in game 😢

mouse unplugged

[marsh wing]

hit windows

[distant obsidian]

The mouse?

[fleet loom]

windows didnt work, guess i just have a mouse crosshair

f this is gonna be an annoying raid

[distant obsidian]

A what?

[rare field]

a rat on the screen

[zinc oxide]

go from borderless to windowed then back to borderless

i really dont even know how to explain it better lol

Lol ok. Other people seem to know, I'll stop asking lool

I'm fucking lost haha

[arctic scarab]

Or am I extremally lucky with deadlines of guards and bosses today?

[zinc oxide]

[arctic scarab]

the mlg meme clicky thingy

[fleet loom]

nope. just gonna have to thug it out

[distant obsidian]

We never get any announcement about AI tweeks unless a major patch goes out

[zinc oxide]

at least you get a free crosshair

[marsh wing]

i just want to put this poster in customs. Is that too much to ask?

[fleet loom]

its in my scope and everything cant see shit lol

[marsh wing]

If i die again i might just go play some minecraft. This will make 5 deaths in a row without extract

[distant obsidian]

[zinc oxide]

what do u keep dying too?

[distant obsidian]

5 deaths in a row. Yikes my dude. Slow down

Clearly your playing way to fast for your skill level

[sullen forum]

Morning lads, what is sleeping schedule?

[distant obsidian]

I have one for work -.-

[astral kindle]

I wish i had work :C

[zinc oxide]

ded moroz is basically partisan on crack never shoot that dude unless ur 0.1m away from him, also just play slower always check your surroundings

make sure you have comtacs on to hear from far away

[distant obsidian]

Yeah slow the fuck down lol

[sullen forum]

You dont, I worked a 12 hour shift today on my birthday, shits depressing

[distant obsidian]

Dying in PvE happens, but it generally only happens when your playing stupid

[zinc oxide]

@distant obsidian whats your survives in a row as of now im curious

[zinc oxide]

true

[distant obsidian]

Currently at 105 or something.

[sullen forum]

Guys PASHA IS DOWN

[distant obsidian]

same mine is a bit more but i havent been to labyrinth in a bit, I make some dumb mistakes in laby 50/50 chance if I live or die in that place

[astral kindle]

Yeah thats depressing af

[distant obsidian]

Yeah, I generally only die to a nad or the low roll rng shot from a guard to my face

[tulip lintel]

First off happy birthday; Secondly, that sucks

[astral kindle]

Also happy birthday man

[gloomy widget]

have you ever got the quest? Nvm, sorry for the ping. For anyone searching for the same: I completed all the required quests, that was not the issue. In my third Lighthouse run LK finally gave me the quest. I dont know if it was due to switching to local host or if the game just needed some time (like for me it was a bit over a hour between last required quest completion and finally getting "Keepers Word")

[zinc oxide]

Last time I died was to partisans tripwire but it was silent so I magically blew up with no audio 😂

[quartz storm]

yoooo, my 12 hour cultist circle gave me a tank battery, a gas mask filter, 120 rounds of ppbs, and a wifi camera

[subtle valve]

I have 9 tank batts stored form cultist circles xD

[fleet loom]

hit pkpm and legit the only thing was an m60E6 and t-5000

[vernal spindle]

I just did a 10 hit on that key
Very good for lmgs but not much else

[fleet loom]

these marked rooms are some gass remove the g

[vernal spindle]

Theres also an intel spawn to the right on the floor as you walk in

[manic pewter]

PKPM is far from the best marked key tbf

Honestly based on what ive seen

RB-VO is goated on the other hand

[distant obsidian]

My last death was to scavs. I spawned on woods by scav village. Seen a scav in front of me, when I killed him I had a wave spawn and shoot me down. I was in the middle of the field just spawned in. Didn't have a chance. I was kinda pissed. So now I know when I get that spawn or not shoot anything, get to cover first

[fleet loom]

considering the other marked room on this map has scavs just looting it freely honeslty there all cooked

rb-vo

[rough badge]

What keycard rooms are best to run for good ammo?

red right?

[distant obsidian]

Terragroup armory, MVD and the cage in lexos

[crimson meteor]

i just found a docs case in a pmc backpack on reserve

[rough badge]

Only labs

[distant obsidian]

Streets is better ammo at this point

[rough badge]

Cba doing streets tbh

Not doing streets with my performance :/

Ill stick to labs

[distant obsidian]

Well maybe labs is about the same in PvE. Not on PvP though

Labs is security room, wep testing and red

[silver path]

How close can you get as Bear before the rogues will beam you? I've only done usec for the last 3 wipes

[subtle valve]

For nato ammo you simply go labs red, res, armory
For russian ammo you go reserve or interchange

[rough badge]

Uhhh

Non negotiable

xD

[subtle valve]

They should shoot on sight, basically 200m beam of death xD

[rough badge]

You know the beachhouses on lighthouse?

You get beamed from there

Take that as you will :)

[subtle valve]

You can go stupid rock and snipe them from there

[silver path]

I know they shoot on sight, but like will they kill me from the village or is that still "safe"

[stone goblet]

im cooked

[subtle valve]

Go mountain side, there are no MGs aiming at the mounatins near car v-exfil

[rough badge]

you always are bruh

[silver path]

That's what I usually do to clear them out, I just wasn't sure how far their aiming range was. They used to hit you from across the map

[zinc oxide]

ah that sucks

[crimson meteor]

is anyone else geetting a bug in d2 where you start extracting before the door opens?

[marsh wing]

quick someone tell me how i do flare gun extract

just shoot in the air and go straight?

[solid nebula]

It must say "Signal flare area"

Then shoot at ~75-80 degrees up, towards the extract

[distant obsidian]

Every death is a lesson learned. I learned to don't do that off that spawn.

[bronze cipher]

Go through village just don’t stick around on that ridge coming from chalet, you can pick off all the front wall snipers from just in front the front wall (they all watch the road/bridge so they won’t see you) and then go up the right hand wall and pick off the other snipers through gaps there, then it’s only the ones inside the buildings 0-3 in each.

[marsh wing]

thank you so much. I need that extract so badly

[solid nebula]

You got it?:D

[subtle valve]

Lol... cheapest ultra medical is now 4.3M xd

[solid nebula]

Damn

If I want BTC it's Labs eh?

[warm sentinel]

Hope I made someones day by buying their 65stack of Grand Juice 😂

[subtle valve]

Shoreline / Labirynth works too for BTC

[solid nebula]

Shoreline?!

[subtle valve]

Yes, locked rooms have lots of BTC spawns

[crimson meteor]

DVL, T-5000M or M700 what do yall use for this ammo bolty?

[marsh wing]

i had 4 different scavs interuppt me while trying to place the poster in customs, and i had a chestpiece i needed for skier

[turbid atlas]

[rough badge]

Just search up job market websites

But indeed is just hyorrible

[sullen forum]

Figure out the type of job you want, type in "x" company in "y location" - look on their website and apply that way

[turbid atlas]

do i go into my local shops and ask physically if they are hiring or is it all online first into interviews etc

[nocturne summit]

in my state it costs 15$ and some phone calls and you can have a job with the license

[meager coyote]

The lion does not concern himself with employment

[turbid atlas]

seems like it

[sullen forum]

There are also recruitment firms, some of which you dont have to pay for

[manic pewter]

One of the people i worked with is an electrician aswell and he knows about every way to breech H&S rules

[turbid atlas]

i cried 2 times within the past 4 days

[nocturne summit]

youd be amazed

[stone goblet]

this is kinda my next avenue

[worthy otter]

Asking the Tarkov discord for job seeking advice is like asking a camel what chocolate milk tastes like

[nocturne summit]

my job is hated by construction bc we make more

[stone goblet]

It's funny isn't it

[shrewd sand]

Is the local backend error still a thing. I got 2 back to back

Getting them ready for delivery

Such a piss easy job

Even a 10 yr old could do it

[nocturne summit]

cant judge them for this bc me personally i got into a job bc i was commenting on memes askin for advice

[rough badge]

Hey man. surely theres gotta be at least 1 person in here with advice right? 🤨

[stone goblet]

It was a contract company I worked for that Tesco had contracted and they didn't pay me for 3 months, told me "it's how it works for new starters"

[rough badge]

Thats for sure NOT how it works 💀

Wtf

If I didnt get paid for 3 months Id quit

[stone goblet]

I was in school

I got all the money anyway when I rang head office

They were like

What

I got paid same day

[rough badge]

[blissful granite]

Can Gluhar aggro on you and chase you into the bunker? Caught me completely off guard

[nocturne summit]

yes

[rough badge]

Ye

[stone goblet]

And then shortly after I got sacked for "being unreliable" because I called in sick once for a migraine

[nocturne summit]

ive even seen him in the bunker

[rough badge]

I called in sick 3 times and got a abscence meeting and then got a warning :/

[stone goblet]

It was my first call in

[rough badge]

Abscence % had to be below 2%

Otherwise its meeting time

[nocturne summit]

made 14 mil off a raid of hanging with my family

not bad for me barely bein able to see bc my eyes have been burnin

[spiral pecan]

was literally 1 inch away from getting blasted by ppbs by a reshy guard and didnt even realize it till i exited the raid

might just be blind but i can barely tell BT and PPBS apart most of the time

[distant obsidian]

One has a tracer and one does not.

[subtle valve]

Lol. what kind of forced work camp rules are these? xD

[tall wraith]

What’s the process of acquiring an AK-50

I got my last ones before in the event before 1.0

[nocturne summit]

gotta be lvl 44 then do hobby club if im correct

[mystic marsh]

Working LCD screen before a blue drill, fuck my life

Not like I didn't need it but come on

[tall wraith]

Dang almost there

[mystic marsh]

I need ONE blue drill, just one

[meager coyote]

Would be nice if we could craft drills

[tall wraith]

New addition on interchange

Literally everywhere

[meager coyote]

Speaking of drills, pretty annoying we can't put it in the discord toolbox. I know its because its classified as "electronics" or whatever but its stupid

[tall wraith]

Any of the customs warehouses

[spiral pecan]

tigz hearted my comment of me telling him to get off the game for getting a guy falsely banned

[mystic marsh]

I don't wanna go interchange. I am currently scavving the underground parking lot on GZ, I found some electronics there, working LCD today, I'm pretty sure I've seen drills there before but can't find any now

[spiral pecan]

atleast i know that nerd read it

[nocturne summit]

we still talkin bout tigz?

marry him

[mystic marsh]

What's the rarest item in Tarkov? You might think it's LedX, one of the most sought after quest and barter items.

[mystic marsh]

Tigz dropped me red rebel on customs

[daring creek]

dumb question where do i see the tracksuit progression ?

[spiral pecan]

probably Rusted bloody key

or labry figurines

[nocturne summit]

the fanny pack secure container

[mystic marsh]

No. The rarest item is the one you need right now

[spiral pecan]

in the achievement bar

[mystic marsh]

For me it's the blue drill

[daring creek]

ty

[crude fulcrum]

100%

[mystic marsh]

My friend actually gifted me a red rebel

[nocturne summit]

if you get the fanny pack by a lottery ticket

[willow tinsel]

how did he even drop it

[spiral pecan]

no just bringing him up because i thought it was funny

[mystic marsh]

He didn't. He gave me the money to buy it

[willow tinsel]

oh right

[mystic marsh]

One million bajillion roubles

Now I have the red rebel

I even killed a scav with it once as a joke

He did not find it funny

[willow tinsel]

better to buy one and use it

than find one and use it

[mystic marsh]

Cracked the skull open with it, just went POP

[mystic marsh]

You need two fir

[willow tinsel]

yea

[mystic marsh]

Iirc for a quest

No questions asked

I think red rebel can spawn in marked rooms

Iirc one of the bosses has one. I don't remember which and whether it's loot able or not

[rare field]

Shturman / Parmajan / Shturman stash / Green boxes / marked rooms

[mystic marsh]

I actually used my red rebel to cheese Jaeger's ll2, because I was lacking money spent/sold on him, I just sold him my red rebel and then used the money he gave me to get a new one hahaha

[grizzled yoke]

I looted rb bk earlier and got 2 red rebels in the same room, I immediately turned em in lol

[cursive abyss]

Where do you guys find your es lamps

[grizzled yoke]

Toolboxes

[tawny ice]

everywhere

[grizzled yoke]

Interchange as well

[mystic marsh]

Underground parking lot on GZ

I usually just sell them

To therapist

They aren't worth much

Damn. No one fell for the ragebait

Jokes aside, they usually go around 70-90k on the flea

Thankfully I already installed lights level 3 so I can freely sell my es lamps which is a steady supply of money for my shenanigans

[safe igloo]

Is there any difference to pvp when it comes to marked rooms? Also i was really wondering if 16 mil for a check 13 marked key is really worth it or just a money loss?

[mystic marsh]

Marked keys are always gambling

[crude fulcrum]

gambling fun

[mystic marsh]

G36 is underrated

[crude fulcrum]

🤮

[mystic marsh]

SCAR-L too

[safe igloo]

I found one on my account and got only a docs case on the first open...that seemed a little off

[mystic marsh]

What's wrong with g36

[crude fulcrum]

everything

[mystic marsh]

Explain yourself

[crude fulcrum]

m4a1 superior 5.56 platform

[mystic marsh]

No shit

You really don't say

I wasn't saying M4A1 was bad

[vernal spindle]

G36 is for germans only

[mystic marsh]

I was saying G36 is underrated

In this game

[carmine flint]

right need an update on this, do the goons still hunt you down even after you kill 1 or are they meant to back off now, I was just on woods, killed knight and absolutely nothing happened after that, I know Birdeye was watching me with his AXMC but bugger looking for him on woods so I just left after waiting for 5 mins because I wasn't going to try peeking angles with all the trees around

[crude fulcrum]

im just salty the m4a well doesnt allow me to put 100rnd in g36

[mystic marsh]

It doesn't?

[crude fulcrum]

not the good rnd

only the banana 100rnd

[mystic marsh]

They should add a separate G36 drum mag then

That doesn't require stanag mag well

[mystic marsh]

That exists

It is kinda similar to beta c iirc

[arctic scarab]

Yes i did get that a few times

[mystic marsh]

How many points do you get for a slam dunk in basketball

[arctic scarab]

That's unusual behavior, as i've known, if you kill one of them they just rush you to their or your deaths

may take them some time but they'll approach you some way

[carmine flint]

yeah that's what I was thinking, good to know I wasn't being overreactive waiting for them, guess they just got freaked out by something, Shturman was up to so maybe they got distracted

[arctic scarab]

If Goons r on the map, Shturman is absent

[mystic marsh]

Two

[mystic marsh]

What if both are absent

[daring creek]

man why santa almost sent me to the menu 😭

[carmine flint]

idk what to tell you, Shturman was 100% up, I mean I know you can get Reshala and the goons on Customs

[arctic scarab]

Well then lucky you if you just went do to stuff instead of hunting someone down

[vocal holly]

Get Key to the Tower
look for DSP
First raid
Chalets

The Tarkov gods are smiling upon me

[arctic scarab]

Strange... I know that mostly bosses don't spawn in pairs(only if they have some brotherly bond like Killa and Tagilla on Interchange, or Kaban and Kollontay on Streets)

that rule also doesn't apply to partisan because he's just built like that

[vocal holly]

Goon spawn is independent of the map boss

I've had Sanitar and Goons together, Reshala and Goons, Shturman and Goons

[carmine flint]

I mean there is a slim chance it was a PMC but that SVD is hard to mistake especially coming from sawmill, and I'm 99% sure it was Shturman just based on him popping off right at the start of the rain

[vocal holly]

If you were hearing 3-5 shots rapid fire, it's Shturman

Only he uses an SVD like a god damn SMG

[arctic scarab]

Alrighty, noted then

[carmine flint]

oh yeah it was just Shturman, that was exactly it haha

right well time to go have another go at getting that convoy, wasn't exactly looking to fight the goons on woods

[vocal holly]

Another way to tell is if the BTR had spawned and it's near the Sawmill, you will hear a shit load of gunfire

Shturman and his boys do NOT like the BTR

[arctic scarab]

Shturman also wants to kill Jaeger for some reason

i do respect him for that

i guess he had a try of his quests

[carmine flint]

well time to go for another walk about and pray for marked key in the bunker

[arctic scarab]

Goons also killed jaeger's messenger when he tried to call them down, and sent the head of the messenger back to him

i guess people just don't like jaeger in general

[carmine flint]

would have been ironic if I'd of run into them grabbing Jagers message haha, that could have been me
