i killed killa with an mp5 f that YN

[stable oxide]

could try other maps, reserve ain't bad, woods has a few hotspots (mostly old sawmill)

[sage sandal]

he a hoe

[mystic marsh]

woods too big

[stable oxide]

yeah killa is whatevs honestly

[mystic marsh]

I'd have to do more walking than looting

For a slim chance to find anything

[stable oxide]

once you learn to bait him into a corner peek he's a pushover

[mystic marsh]

I swear tho, at least on GZ the drill refuses to spawn in the toolboxes and shit

Even tho I HAVE seen it happen before

It just stopped as soon as I needed one

[sage sandal]

they code that into the game, when you need 1 item FIR it turns the spawn rate to 0.000001%. after you get it it turns up to 5000%

becomes the only item you see anywhere

[strong robin]

Hello ! I've lost a weapon with a sight I love, I can't find it back so I was hoping someone here could help me find it :

It's a 1X sight with a integrated laser on it ? Can't find it 🙁

[cold panther]

does anyone know where lots of PMCs spawn on Shoreline and Interchange?

[cold panther]

Wilcox BOSS Xe reflex sight?

[astral kindle]

Shore: Road to customs
Inter: Power/Oli ramp

[cold panther]

appreciate it

[strong robin]

I'll take a look hold on

[mystic marsh]

Don't do that, he has an appreciation kink

[astral kindle]

What the fuck?

[strong robin]

Yes !! Thank youuu ! 🙂

[cold panther]

you are welcome

[sage sandal]

just a heads up, the laser doesnt give point fire bonus on the sight sadly, not sure if you knew or not but just to be sure so you can throw a device on your gun to get it still, not assuming youre unaware but just making sure

i like the sight with the laser on too even without that anyways i made that mistake before so

[marble bronze]

how best to do evil watchman? just bumrush and camp dorms?

[cold panther]

pretty much so

[analog berry]

anyone got server problem right now?

trying to get in to Streets

nice!!! now im out in my hidout and i lost all my stuff because of server error

[viral karma]

my entire game / map / textures just turned black and started flickering, then my game crashed 5 seconds later. Every crash is like a brand new bug/error lol

[short wharf]

anyone else finding PSU hard to find rn

[cold panther]

are you searching on labs?

[short wharf]

yah done around 4 runs now checking most pc;s nothing

[analog berry]

na not really. go in to interchange and loot all the computers

[cold panther]

no clue how, I'd always find at least one

[short wharf]

yah idk just struggling on labs

[marble bronze]

nah, PCs on interchange been good to me

[kindred pivot]

Anybody had any issues with Testdrive part 4 since the weapon changed? Any time i use the given weapon i get a back end error on extraction and no progress is saved. Only does it when using that weapon.

[short wharf]

also im dehydrated rn with 2 bottles of saline I cant drink.....correct me if im wrong but is saline not for keeping humans hydrated/????? Like if bro is that bad, i dont think hes gona worry as long as its not gona kill him...

[hazy gorge]

[strange tiger]

Nah thats govt saline it puts 5g in you

[glacial osprey]

nope. just found some an hour ago on interchange

[glacial osprey]

Inter also IDEA stairs

[short wharf]

whats the best ammo to take to kill killa with an MCX (keeping in mind availability)

[sage sandal]

if you were to drink IV solution saline while dehydrated, you'd go into shock and die pretty quickly.

[strange tiger]

fmj can work, just gotta hit ya shots. head top of head is T4 face is T6

[glacial osprey]

cbj, m62, ap

[slate vector]

I am a complete fucking dumbass and unpacked the ammo pack for break the deal, where do I find 7.62x51 ammo packs

[short wharf]

that explains it so thank you haha

[strange tiger]

can find some on streets, behind terragroup armory key

and MVD

[sage sandal]

when its in IV form, how in game its a little bottle, that bottle is diluted about 10:1 and very slowly pumped into your veins, takes about 40 minutes to rehydrate through IV, let alone straight saline solution. it'd dehydrate you even more and send your kindneys into shutdown mode itd be a pretty horrific death, same as why you cant drink ocean water while strandad at sea

and this has been pve chat science talk. tune in next time, goodnight.

[tulip lintel]

Mmm salt

[strange tiger]

You cant drink ocen water. I can, maybe i wanna fkn die HUH

[sage sandal]

same bro, but that takes too long. and it's yucky it tastes like fishies eww. lead tastes better

[strange tiger]

Lets be honest if im stranded at sea, i aint livin long enough to worry bout water

[dense sentinel]

Lol I need to borrow some luck and a red/black keycard because in 10 runs so far hitting everything else i can grab from labs with yellow, violet and blue keycards ive gotten plenty of ram, gpus, and good ammo but no acc or the GPS thing for my solar and Intel center

[sage sandal]

there have been people who survived months strandad at sea. they get water through drinking the blood of fish. crazy shit. same tho ill die on the first day

[quartz vector]

Dam only 5 mil outta labs ts time

Yesterday I was getting 8 mil per raid

[strange tiger]

Nah tahts some vampire shit mate. Dont listen to it

[sage sandal]

oh do yall remember that rescue of a sunk boat and the cook was in this tiny spot that had an oxygen pocket but was at the literal bottom of the ocean whattt

[sage sandal]

its hard not to man tbh all that leather and goth stuff is enticing, they must know something that stuff can't be cheap right? also theyre bein all sexy all the time i try to resist but the loneliness man...

[carmine vessel]

TKPD Any good?

[short wharf]

if thats the one in the bunker by the offices yah

[carmine vessel]

Gun - TKPD - Tree craft

[short wharf]

ohh soz i thought it was a reserve key hahaha

[carmine vessel]

😄

[spiral pecan]

gotta actually complete the quest to get FMJ and SP has the same pen as BT which already isn't great

it fails to do anything the 338 can do but better

[short wharf]

any tips for finding cofdoms?

[quaint salmon]

I finally found the M903 SLAP ammo, fuckin hell this took ages

[quartz vector]

Lighthouse - WTP storage, usec safes, hillside house and merin

[spiral pecan]

kinda shit

[short wharf]

yah been running them but no luck, is the new reserve key any good?

[quaint salmon]

Highest pen ammo in the game, it'll sit in my stash as decor :D

[quartz vector]

Which one?

[quaint salmon]

pkpts or whatever prolly

[short wharf]

the one by the offices in the bunker

i see vertexes spawn sometimes

[quartz vector]

It's not new but yeah it's alright

[quaint salmon]

I've had virtexes, mgts, figurines, mcbs, and vpx spawn there

[short wharf]

how old is it?

[quartz vector]

Been in the game since I can remember

Over 3 years at least

[quaint salmon]

I dont remember seeing it before 1.0 myself tbh

[quartz vector]

Have you never checked out Jaeger's barters?

[quaint salmon]

I did but my guess is I never checked what the key actually does

[azure canopy]

If youre despirate ive seen codfms in labyrinth

[quaint salmon]

No, the pkpts is new

It was released with 1.0

Idk what you are on about

[quartz vector]

He said by the offices in the bunker, so I thought he meant pkpm

[quaint salmon]

Nah

Thats marked

And honestly the worst marked imo, even before 1.0

[spiral pecan]

shared bedroom

[flint path]

can someone take a look at my gunsmith part 22 and let me know what im missing here

[quartz vector]

I mean, you can buy all the three reserve marked keys for about 30mil and I guarantee you you'll find stuff worth at least 15 mil then you just barter the 1/10 keys for 314 and sell it/use it

If you're lucky and find 2-3 blacks it's great profit

[spiral pecan]

send it in weapon modding

[glacial osprey]

reserve new key

[quaint salmon]

Yeah forgot about that thing, literally just opened that room for the first time today

That marked is AWFUL

[quaint salmon]

Yee

[spiral pecan]

its so bad a lot of people dont even know it exists

plus you need lightkeeper to loot it

[astral kindle]

100% this, its so bad even if i visit that island i don't bother opening it

[spiral pecan]

just got shot in the head by a raider twice good thing i was wearing an altyn holy shit

[subtle valve]

You need LK for story anyway if you do savior ending

LK island best loot is in the dome, there are even btc spawns there

[astral kindle]

Actually you can skip LK even for savior if i don't remember wrong

[spiral pecan]

does not change the fact the marked room is horrendous

also not everyone does savior

[astral kindle]

Because you can do almost ending even if you keep case for yourself. Only time when you need LK is if you give that case to prapor

And well, LK ending of course requires him but you get the point

And just remembered batya requires him too which is required for savior ending and such. Been while since i've escaped so can't remember everything

[strong robin]

Can someone explain to me what's going on with the game ? I didn't pay 110€ for such things to happen, what the hell ?

My friend & I were doing multiple transits for exp, whatever. We go to the rogue base on lighthouse, and there's that dude. Chilling on the heavy turret on the roof. We emptied 5 or 6 mags on his head, he never shot us, he never moved, never been hit, i don't know.

We go around to go to the reserve transit, it didn't ever pop-up and we got shot from the map-limit sniper ( altough we did not die, we ran back, but the green blackened and that's it )

[narrow eagle]

hey I claimed ||moreman's audio tape 1|| from the workbench but it isn't showing up in my handbook any ideas?

[worthy otter]

If you got shot by border snipers then you walked out of bounds

[quartz vector]

Not a single btc from labs but 9 million rouble raid

[strong robin]

No. I was by the transit which never popped up

[worthy otter]

Exactly, and you walked too far out

[pliant hornet]

[astral kindle]

[quartz vector]

The keycards

[carmine vessel]

Rip.

Well, tyty

[pliant hornet]

Sus wording

[strong robin]

I walked on the entire lenght of the road, it never popped up, and it's not the first time I use it

[carmine vessel]

What quest to unlock?

[quartz vector]

You hear what you want to hear little blud

[pliant hornet]

Negative

[worthy otter]

And when you walked too far you left the map boundary (just past the bus) and got shot by the border snipers

[astral kindle]

https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/No_Questions_Asked

[quartz vector]

Attack the D point!

[pliant hornet]

No

[carmine vessel]

🙏

[pliant hornet]

No attacking d point

[strong robin]

Exactly i was standing by the bus, which is where the transit is ????

[astral kindle]

Never
Wrong game

[hasty pewter]

Pray for me. Time to hunt goons

[quartz vector]

Almost the same

[subtle valve]

Time to goon!

[civic plank]

ahhh i see you a man of culture

[astral kindle]

Oh boy have fun hunting them at snoreline

[pliant hornet]

Gramercy!

[worthy otter]

Yes and I’m explaining to you that if you leave the map boundary you will be shot

[quartz vector]

Bravo!

[hasty pewter]

Ugggh... on second thought

[pliant hornet]

What happens if you go to Chekannaya 14

[astral kindle]

Its duable but annoying

[strong robin]

And i'm trying to tell you I was standing by the bus, which is before the map boundary ^^'
In fact : On the 3D map, the transit is even after the bus 🤭

[worthy otter]

You get stuck in the trap

[astral kindle]

My guess is you fall out of bounds as room isn't rendered in

[civic plank]

Ziel zerstört

[hasty pewter]

Shoreline is a cluster fuck with them, same with woods. Customs and lighthouse are probably the best

[pliant hornet]

Uhoh

[worthy otter]

You said you walked the entire length of the road, this is not possible without leaving the map boundary

[strong robin]

Yes, by the "Y shape" on the left side ( on the map ) to the bus, the entire lenght of the ( obviously ) playable area .. ><

[worthy otter]

If you got shot by a border sniper you left the map boundary I don’t know what else to tell you

That’s how they work

[strong robin]

Sure, altough I hella did not.

What about the rogue eating 10-12 mags as if it was nothing ? ( and still lived, by the way ) Is that a new tarkov feature ? ^^'

[worthy otter]

Are you new to Tarkov?

Is this your first time encountering a bug?

[royal gorge]

sounds like so lol

had there been any word on when we get rid of this forsaken snow? im so over it

[worthy otter]

Spring

[royal gorge]

damn another like 6 weeks of ts, pain

[astral kindle]

Why people hate snow?

[strong robin]

No
A bug giving invincibility ( or temporary ) to AIs ? Yes, that's a new thing, in fact, there's videos showing this now that I look on YT, that is indeed new 😉

[spiral pecan]

fps

[royal gorge]

cause i cant see shit, the entire map looks the same

[worthy otter]

So report it as a bug in your launcher then

Ranting here won’t do shit

[astral kindle]

Haven't had FPS issues and i can find my way easily

[strong robin]

Already did since the event started, the devs don't really care it seem

[royal gorge]

i dont know where im going on a good day, let alone in a white haze where everything is covered in white and looks similar

[spiral pecan]

fog fuckin sucks i hte it

[worthy otter]

Got a ticket number?

[royal gorge]

i dont have fps issues, its just making learning maps much more difficult for me

[astral kindle]

But could be that i've just gotten used to snow because i live up in north

[worthy otter]

I actually prefer the snow

[royal gorge]

yeah i am a phony canadian tbf

[astral kindle]

Based

[royal gorge]

its mostly the frostbite my beef is with, i wanna wear decent helmets beyond ssh

[astral kindle]

Frostbite has ended already

You can wear anything you want now

[strong robin]

Haven't looked for a while, the issue is still here while the event will end soon, so it is not fixed still

[royal gorge]

did it really. when did that happen howd i miss it

[astral kindle]

Event ended

[orchid crest]

Snow snow go away

Give my frames back

[royal gorge]

damn well thats good to know atleast

[shy thorn]

so i have to spend 16k in total right

with peacekeeper

to get him to L2?

[orchid crest]

Yes you gotta spend that moolah and get their rep up

[astral kindle]

Correct, but selling items to him also increase spent count

[shy thorn]

f that capitalist bozo

[orchid crest]

A good way is to buy guns from him, then sell it to him

[keen peak]

I agree snow sucks

[astral kindle]

So you can buy and sell back

[worthy otter]

So what do you expect anyone here to do?

What are you hoping to gain from this?

[orchid crest]

Sometimes people just need to vent !

Get it out into the world

[worthy otter]

Well do it on your own platforms

It’s against the rules here

[strong robin]

I asked if anyone encountered this bug, if it was normal as it's not fixed, if you could kindly re-read what I wrote in the first place

[shy thorn]

and what should i do with gpus as a lowlevel, cant sell them on the flea because they are level locked

[orchid crest]

Oh! 😳😳

[worthy otter]

You actually didn’t say that at all #pve-chat message

If you’re just here to rant, please stop

[strong robin]

"Can someone explain to me what's going on with the game ? I didn't pay 110€ for such things to happen, what the hell ?"

All you explained to me is " are you new to tarkov, is this your first bug " 🤭

[astral kindle]

Exactly, you encoutered a bug and Chek asked if its your first time encountering one

[worthy otter]

No point even engaging with this

They’re just ranting and don’t care what anyone says

[astral kindle]

Average day in discord

[shy thorn]

any help for gpu?

[astral kindle]

Keep them

[orchid crest]

Great tip is to scavenge ground zero computers they have great ram spawns, which you can trade for a gpu every day!

[astral kindle]

They will go ~1m in flea

[celest crane]

I haven't played Tarkov in quite a while, just did a Labs run and there's literally no loot. What happened?

[pliant hornet]

I don’t think gz has increased ram spawns

[astral kindle]

Loot was buffed almost to absurd at 1.0 and now its nerfed because of that. Honestly i don't mind it

[astral kindle]

Plenty of PCs in small map

[pliant hornet]

Re buff or I will invade Finland

[astral kindle]

Oh no, first unheard people invade finland (yes its actually in lore) and now you?

[shy thorn]

can u buy a thing from flea, take it to raid, extract and it becomes found in raid?

[astral kindle]

No

[shy thorn]

rip where tf do i find sewing kit now

[pliant hornet]

But he found it in the raid

In his bag

[astral kindle]

Duffel bags, technical supply crates and such

https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Sewing_kit

[civic plank]

guys is any med spawns on the horeses on reserve? i forgot meds...fml

[cursive sky]

Is the bug where AI shoots you multiple times in a second still a thing? This scav tore through my t5 in the blink of an eye and blacked my chest before I could stop the bleeding lmao

[languid mauve]

cultist bunker on woods has them all the time

[thorn hedge]

i wish there was an explanation why santa sometimes shoots you on sight and sometimes not

[languid mauve]

I met santa over 100 times and never got shot...not sure what y'all are doing

[worthy otter]

His aggression is shared with Rogues

And that’s all there is to it

If you’ve engaged the rogues recently, he’s not your friend for 3 raids

[astral kindle]

Stomach, sides without plates, neck, blacked arms (damage spread). Plenty of things to get hit with hollowpoints

[thorn hedge]

Rouges as in lighthouse?
cause i shot and killed 2 rouges last raid and met up with santa chilling with him inside watertreatment :P

[worthy otter]

Yes, Santa will attack you on your subsequent 3 raids after that

[thorn hedge]

Ah, so not the same - but the next 3 ?

[worthy otter]

That is how Rogues work

[thorn hedge]

thanks!

[worthy otter]

They will also attack you for your next 3

[cursive sky]

Was hit once in the arm, rest was to the thorax, all happened between 2 shotgun shots from me

[thorn hedge]

That also explains why they shot me on site aswell xD

[sage sandal]

test drive 4 is actually fun how did they do this

[hazy gorge]

Sa58 or mdr 7.62 with m993 is better for labrys?

[lavish grotto]

mdr probably

[winter latch]

lol just got scammed by fence. gave him epsilon didnt recieve the rep -_-

[astral kindle]

Late reply but i'd go with MDR

SA has been nerfed into oblivion

[distant obsidian]

People still loving in the past lol sa sucks

[winter latch]

Tbh for labrynt just NL and mai ap is my landout to go

[astral kindle]

Eh? NL is 5.45 and MAI AP is 7.62x39

[thorn hedge]

It's modified

[undone bluff]

Hi, any idea why I'm getting server connection lost after "awaitng server response"? I can't join any online raids

[cobalt magnet]

Have anyone tried getting Snowball? Is it possible rn?

[winter latch]

Sorry not mai ap. I ment ppbs im stipid

[thorn hedge]

i ran towards northern exit on lightouse - 3 mins left on the clock no extract on the northern, guess im gonna go to woods then xD

[astral kindle]

Its bugged and developers are aware of it

[astral kindle]

Dw happens, NL goes strong with BS/Igolniks

[pearl smelt]

I have a question about the escort quest. It rewards you with 5 levels of strength, should I wait till I get level 45 strength before completing it and receiving the reward? Or does that not matter at all?

[worthy otter]

Usually this is caused by ram

[astral kindle]

It don't matter at all, after skill lvl 10, skill will require 100 xp/level

[undone bluff]

As in not enough RAM or something?

[pearl smelt]

Alright thanks

[worthy otter]

Yeah or incorrectly configured or malfunctional, usually it’s capacity though

[cobalt magnet]

Ik that its bugged and everytime it when you load, you "get" the achievement. But i thought maybe if you kill everyone it unbugs itself and give you the achievement

[astral kindle]

No

Currently you just have to wait and suffer that achievement pop on each raid

[cobalt magnet]

Well, thats unfortunate. My friend only needs to kill Parmesan. Anyway, ty

[worthy otter]

From what we’ve been told and what we’ve observed, it’s just the achievement progress that’s bugged, you can still earn it if you actually meet the criteria for it, for example Snowball, if you go and kill every boss without dying, you will actually earn it, but the counter isn’t resetting on death so it’s bugging out and showing as earned when it shouldn’t, and it syncs back up after the raid as not earned

[cobalt magnet]

Nah, it doesnt bother me at all

[hazy gorge]

Didnt realise that i got Elite strenght skill

[solid ice]

is anyone else's game crashing recently

[shy thorn]

elite ball knowledge

[simple briar]

Any tips for Capturing Outposts? I'm only few raids in trying to do it and I already see how annoying it'll be

[shy thorn]

are we talking about the same gate?

[subtle valve]

For which map?

[shy thorn]

this isnt far cry

[cobalt magnet]

I'll tell that to my friend. Ty

[cobalt magnet]

[hazy gorge]

Very annoying

[simple briar]

Woods and Customs, Shoreline will be doable cause area is bigger

I assume best chance for PMCs spawn to those zones is to spawn "close" to them

[thorn hedge]

the therm "repeak" how far away from where you peaked in the first place can you peak without the AI aiming at you ?

[astral kindle]

Correct, its just RNG

Sometimes PMCs might spawn those areas too if you spawn far away

[subtle valve]

Woods they can either spawn there or they can wander there, so sit on rocks near lake and observe, kill scavs and let them reach the base.
For Customs just pray for RNG to PMCs to go there. I'm stuck with this one too

[simple briar]

I'm running suppressed guns, you think running loud could bait AI to your area?

[sage sandal]

who was it that was looking for drill?

[subtle valve]

Both suppressed and loud can, just the area of effect is different

[cobalt magnet]

Shoot with ak 50

[turbid owl]

man been trying to do capturing outpost for a long as time and i keep getting pmc's near the customs scav base but they wont come close enough... even right now this very moment i have a group of 3 pmc's near outside who i keep taunting just they wont push no matter what i do... and i keep running into this issue raid after raid. like its an "avoid" script for them

[spiral pecan]

holy shit just sat back in my chair and almost fell because tagilla was literally a millimeter away from hammering me

i dont know if they fucked with the ai but i cant get a grenade reaction out of this bitch anymore

[lavish socket]

Good morninggg, how are da raids today

[civic plank]

do raiders on the hermatic bunker and train depot work for secured perimeter? i dont remember

[astral kindle]

No?

Secured perimeter is factory quest

[civic plank]

huntsman path srry

[astral kindle]

Which one

[civic plank]

the eraser one

part 2

[distant obsidian]

It is. It's a boss spawn location so they generally will not enter it

[astral kindle]

Yes, it just says eliminate 6 raiders. No matter which map so you can do it in labs or reserve

[civic plank]

aight maybe ill go labs i need the roler too ty

[turbid owl]

then they need to adjust the area and make it bigger imo since this quest is just boring any anoying af this way. ive had this quest active since forever. and still 0 out of 8... been trying the last few days back to back to force to get it done. 0 luck on that. so basically a quest purely based on luck if the ai will by some miracle go there... i wanna shoot myself its so boring

[thorn hedge]

or just make the pmcs start pushing you instead of beeing scared of you

[turbid owl]

this

[crude fulcrum]

stop taunting them, they wont push if you aggro them repeatedly.

Aggro them once, and then go sit in a corner in fortress and wait, they will path through to RUAF around 15-10min left in raid

[turbid owl]

i do but then they just walk away completely

[thorn hedge]

"dickhead over there"
and then they are gone

[turbid owl]

exactly... pmc's are the least fun to fight... even random scavs have more combat wits than the pmc's

[crude fulcrum]

then dont aggro them at all. Me and my buddies all got Capturing Outposts done just W keying to fort and sitting in a corner until last 5-10min in raid left then just reset.

It's boring but it works

[thorn hedge]

Can punisher part 5 be done on factory ?

[turbid owl]

ive been doing that mostly. but every raid is so dead.. and if i do hear pmc activity near and stay put they never show

[subtle valve]

The tactic that works is aggro PMCs and then run to the other side of fort, if they chase you they should take it as their defensive position

If you hide there they will attack it instead so likely won't be close enough to count for quest

[turbid owl]

all i get is pmc who just keep running back and forth about 10m and yell random crap. then they die by a random scav walking up

[subtle valve]

For anyone wondering... I am still 1/8 on Customs for the quest cuz they won't chase me

[turbid owl]

they need to make the pmc's more agressive for real. most boring and easy enemies atm

[somber ridge]

when pve first came out they were literally bosses 💔

[turbid owl]

now they are litterally lobotomized scavs

[spring wigeon]

Does insurance work on labs now or what the heck is going on?

[somber ridge]

ngl sometimes they bait their teammates and it always gets me, thought i cleared them all and then i died to 4 shots to the arm with a lv6 armor

[turbid owl]

i love it when they shoot at me and one of their guys walks infront of the fire and kills his teammate.. love that

[somber ridge]

or they just nade themselves 😭

[turbid owl]

oh yes or that..

[steel heath]

Ok, I may be one of a scarce few people here who actually uses the compass, but I have been using it for my woods night raids to help myself avoid getting turned around

[somber ridge]

i used it all the time when i first started playing

with a re3mr 3d map

[steel heath]

Except the issue is, when it starts to snow, the same texture effect that gets applied to props and items in the world, where they get dusted with white, applies to the compass while I have it out, which keeps me from reading it.

Does BSG know about this...? I shouldn't have to have my ability to properly land nav taken away with 12 minutes left in a woods raid just because it started to snow.

[turbid owl]

bsg be like... no one uses that crap who cares

[steel heath]

Well I do! I care, damn it!

[turbid owl]

wel here i go... take 500132304 trying to get a pmc kill in customs scav base

[daring creek]

5 PMC interchange no scavs om;

Looks like I’m extract camping PMCs 😭💀

[analog fable]

lol

[orchid crest]

I use it all the time, compass has a few issues, with snow you have to look up or there will be a white glare on the glass making it unreadable, sometimes if you take your compass out it just points north despite not actually being north, and I’ve had my compass replace my gun before; making me have to get a run through cause I couldn’t shoot my weapon

So you’re not crazy

[distant obsidian]

never once used it. I perfer to learn the maps

[pearl smelt]

I can relate, one time I walked into mines at nightime woods because it bugged out and let me down

[supple island]

nobody uses the compass you have to learn the landmarks instead

[fallen mason]

^^^

[charred prism]

any tips for The Huntsman Path - Secured Perimeter?

[steel rain]

Hey guys, do you keep the loot from Terminal when you escape?

[distant obsidian]

lol no

[fallen mason]

Keep running factory until you get it.

[civic plank]

nades

[charred prism]

10+ raids and ive got one kill lol

[fallen mason]

Took me almost 20 for all 6

[steel rain]

It was for me? 😂

[distant obsidian]

took my about 6 raids

[distant obsidian]

yes

[charred prism]

i tried using nades to bait but they never rotate into office 🙁

[civic plank]

they usually are outside gate 3, u can forced them inside from the the rafters side

[steel rain]

Sucks, thanks haha

[fallen mason]

PMCs that spawn by gate 0 usually push into offices as well

[charred prism]

should i be waiting at spawn for them to push in?

[distant obsidian]

yes, stop agroing them and interupting their pathing

they dont path int odanger

[fallen mason]

I usually just dicked around in the first floor of offices until they decided to push

But like Tyreall says if you aggro them while they're outside they won't push in

[charred prism]

ok thanks for the info.

[subtle valve]

Lol.. I was extracting on customs ruaf and checked the green chest there, picked Military power filter in the last second before extract 😄

Still.. Capturing outposts 1/8 after 3 raids fully focued on baiting PMCs to fortress

[distant obsidian]

why are people trying to do that task, waste of time lol

[subtle valve]

Well... I am almost out of tasks xD

So I want to complete it to get eveyting done

I am also doing it at night so I mix it with cultist hunting. Otherwise it would be boring af

[distant obsidian]

now that makes some sense yes

[vital wharf]

I loaded factory, ran straight to Office, no one there? Leave and repeat. About 1 1/2 half

Hour

[steel rain]

Can I go back on Terminal to help a friend after I've Escaped?

[subtle valve]

So I am running val mod4 hoping for 100m+ kills while going fort and hoping for pmcs or cultists on fort
So I hunt cultists, try to do outposts and I am 6/20 on the 9x39 100m+ kills to unlock val mod4 barter 😄

[distant obsidian]

no you cant go back

[steel rain]

Thanks

[subtle valve]

you can... if you wipe your account 😛

[distant obsidian]

im not going to bother with any of those tasks

hell I might not even do the ak50 cause fuck it

[cold panther]

is there a good non silenced M4 build with minimal muzzle flash? Gonna head to terminal tomorrow, and really need one before I tackle the endless hoards of scavs and BD, can't have the gun jamming on me 💔

[ornate sundial]

did they buff the ai on pve or did i just fight gods chosen apostles 4 raids in a row cut short by a bullet to the brain in a half second after contact

[pearl smelt]

Did you not farm the craft for the mod 4 in the chrismas tree?

[distant obsidian]

tree isnt forever

and those gun burn out fast

[pearl smelt]

Yeah I see I see

You want to run it for a while I see

[distant obsidian]

its just better to unlock a gun youll use

[fallen mason]

I just fought the goons and they were pretty brain dead so i don't think so

[turbid owl]

almost everything on pve is braindead.

[distant obsidian]

which map are goons?

[fallen mason]

Shoreline

[ornate sundial]

idk i haven died this many times to one taps in so long and the way thier moving its just not normal

[analog fable]

once you got BP its easy mode

[distant obsidian]

ty

bp doesnt make you better at the game

getting good makes it easy mode

[turbid owl]

but does make armored enemies drop quicker wich is the point

[distant obsidian]

i use better guns then that

[ornate sundial]

like i got pincered by 8 scavs in the first floor of three story from the front the stars and the door at the end of the hallway im convinced i have a harder mode installed cuz my ai is not the least brain dead

[distant obsidian]

yesh, they have used ambish tactics for about 6 months or so now

[analog fable]

ok

[turbid owl]

scavs = pushy, pmc's = braindead bots, guards and raiders = lazerbeamers but not as bad, bosses depends on the boss.

[ornate sundial]

when i fight the goons they dont move like they have an amoeba eating thier brains

[turbid owl]

its a 50/50 with goons sometimes they're really good other times its like they had a stroke right beforehand

[ornate sundial]

idk for me pmc are hit or miss but most the time its like fighting seal team six fortunately they dont kill me often

[turbid owl]

for me they are the MOST braindead enemy in the game. i fear scavs more than pmc's

[ornate sundial]

and like the sniper scavs ive been on tapped by them more times then id like to admit specially kabans

[winter latch]

Only boss i had troubles with was kollontay. That dude doesnt even hide that he is cheating

[daring creek]

hes gonna start flying soon

[turbid owl]

only boss ive had struggle with sometimes is shadow of tagilla. usually its the guards of sanitar that are the most pain in the butt. they are so tanky

[ornate sundial]

but the ting with me for pmc thier in the weirdest locations, like the other day i walked into the two story of dorms on ice cream side and 2 pmc where in the bathroom to the left and 2 where in the room to the right

[turbid owl]

yes but once that happens dont fight insta run back

[vocal holly]

Weapon boxes/sports bags in the bathrooms. They go for containers

[ornate sundial]

well cant run when they push out and follow me down the stairs

[turbid owl]

wel carry nades on you

even flash grenades

[steel heath]

It's woods! What fucking landmarks!

[turbid owl]

you recognise the shapes of the hills

[vocal holly]

Mountain, sawmill, kidney bean lakes, sunken village, old sawmill?

[ornate sundial]

also has anyone been noticing that the f-1 explodes really quick now?

[supple island]

mountain, big rock small rock

[turbid owl]

its easy when you play woods enough

[keen juniper]

The massive mountain in the middle of the map

[vocal holly]

The only place I struggle with is if I spawn between USEC camp and Scav camp

[supple island]

thats big rock

[night willow]

am i getting better at the game or are bosses AI getting nerfed?

[ornate sundial]

once youve played woods enough youll start to recognize hills and certain trees rocks and such

[steel heath]

There's sawmill, the mountain, the crashed plane, but everything between the abandoned village and the mountain, especially at night, is a fuckin chunk error

[vocal holly]

You'll be getting better. Start of wipe, Tagilla and Killa shit me up. Now I don't care so long as they don't jump scare me

[night willow]

four raids back to back with either sanitar or glukhar and i've killed them every time

[pearl smelt]

The compass is useful up until that point

[ornate sundial]

you actually use the compass?

[supple island]

theres a mountain in the skybox that you can use to know which way is north

[steel heath]

The last time Killa got me I would've had a better chance had I been paying attention. The last time Tagilla got me the fucker got lucky with a head hit.

[distant obsidian]

compass is ass. Better to learn the map then use a crutch

[steel heath]

I play woods at night.

[fallen mason]

The last time Tagilla got me was about a year and a half ago

[night willow]

the only bosses i'm still having trouble with are killa and Shagilla

[ornate sundial]

when i fight tigilla it seams like every scav on the map rushes me at once

[steel heath]

Because I need cultist kills. You ever spend 5 minutes thinking you're heading north only to see your teammates... who are posted up at the sawmill gate?

[fallen mason]

Because they do

[pearl smelt]

Not now, but I did when I was learning the map, it was so useful, I distinctly remember getting myself right to where I wanted on the first couple of raids

[vocal holly]

That's me with all bosses these days. So long as I can pay attention properly, I'll get them. The only one I have a mental block over is Kollantay because I've only ever fought him twice and I died once

[night willow]

the 3.55 scav rep scav wit da scoped windingulator, love to see that

[ornate sundial]

the only bosses i struggle with is probly partisan everytime i fight him its always ended the same one bullet to the brain unless i get the jump on him

[trail crystal]

Keep a spare ppsh, those dont jam

[vocal holly]

AA-12's as well for the full 'fuck you'

[night willow]

every time i fight partisan its just him standing still in a bush staring at me like i'm stupid

[distant obsidian]

I dont use bad guns like those two

[pearl smelt]

daamn thats a nice idea

[ornate sundial]

nah just blast that phucker with 338

[steel heath]

I'm a "Died to guards" kind of guy. But there was the one time I got Sanitar from the hills outside of cottages with a 416. Would've been easier with the bolt action...

[ornate sundial]

i really think i have a harder verson of pve then everyone else

[fallen mason]

Parmesan only fights you if you have vodka on you

[proud obsidian]

ayee i finally escaped!

[vocal holly]

Fought him twice. First time was pre 1.0. The moron just kinda ran at me then fell over so I headshot him. The 2nd time he was fighitng 3 PMCs on Woods and then after they died he just kinda...ran at me so I put a bullet between his eyes

[steel heath]

I don't ever want to try and cross or push fortress with reshala and lads there, and the spawn just next to newgas is evil

[pearl smelt]

Congrats

[steel heath]

Also, the goons will still fold me every day of the week

It will take some time for me to escape because I plan on doing savior

[vocal holly]

Fortress is alright if you figure out where they are properly. The next to new gas spawn on the hill though is fucking VILE

[manic lance]

rusted bloody key feel impossible to get

[distant obsidian]

cause it kinda is

just ask someone in lfg

[winter latch]

Im doing that now and its one timegate after another so frustrating

[manic lance]

nah i prefer to find it and get it done myself

[vocal holly]

I got INSANELY lucky the one time I got it. It was off a scav that had somehow vacuumed it up the moment the match started and I killed the scav 20 minutes later.

[steel heath]

timegates aren't that much of a problem. The current issue is Lexos being terrifying and cultists being... elusive.

[night willow]

for whatever reason i can kill bosses consistently, but getting pmc kills on a scav is just impossible all of a sudden

[ornate sundial]

i can help you with kaban its like taking candy from a baby

[vocal holly]

Lexos isn't that bad. Approach from the coffee shop side, throw a grenade to clear the MG and push in. Take it in stages.

Just don't approach from the Tarbank side

[winter latch]

I havent started that yet. The unheard or how its called. Finishing batya now and crafting the rfid card for kerman

[ornate sundial]

nah thats the best side

[fallen mason]

Tarbank side is better imo

[winter latch]

Still need to start on btr questline

[vocal holly]

I don't like it. Less room to move due to the claymores outside

[distant obsidian]

tarbank side is easy as well

toss nad, run in

same strat for both

[fallen mason]

^^^

Plus jumping into the container on the left side gives you easy peaks on guards

[vocal holly]

I can approach from coffee, grenade in and push. Clear sniper scavs, wait for guards to go onto the NSV and head tap them 1 by 1. When Gus and Basmach are down (Because they WILL go for the NSV), throw another nade to find out where Kaban is and then go for him

[night willow]

crazy how the ghost mask doesn't count for punisher part 2

[ornate sundial]

ive fought hime with the revolver shot gun many times along with the kedr and the toz hes actually so easy

[supple island]

#screenshots message the humble cultist pockets

[median kite]

how do i farm scav rep?

[vocal holly]

Play Scav
Wait till PMCs kill some scavs
Kill PMCs
Profit

[supple island]

vehicle extracts and play scav

[vocal holly]

Also every time you can, take car extract as PMC

[median kite]

in what map should i scav?

[vocal holly]

IF you're going purely for the PMC kills. Ground Zero or Factory

[median kite]

alr, another question, what are cultist, how do i find them, and are they hard to fight?

[vocal holly]

But Factory is risky due to Tagilla

[supple island]

easiest is factory PMCs kill scavs all the time

[queen crystal]

Yo @distant obsidian sorry for the ping but do you know what's up with Fundry ? He seems to be gone from the server

[median kite]

alr

thanks

[supple island]

they spawn at night at 7-22 customs is best

[median kite]

where do they spawn in customs? in the big building with utyos and g launchers?

[distant obsidian]

havent asked him, been busy with work. He probably left because the lack of IQ in this chat honestly

[misty ivy]

what's the best place to get drain cleaner? this is such a niche item

[daring creek]

4/5 pmc kills on interchange what am i doing wrong 😭

[astral kindle]

Crackhouse

[misty ivy]

oh damn thanks

[astral kindle]

Transit out and back in

[steel heath]

They Are Already Here is what needs cultists. I did unheard already

[daring creek]

you know what lemme wash your car

[serene hollow]

5 minute load time. Sent back to lobby by big pipe in 3

[astral kindle]

Across map too right? Because thats average goon experience in shoreline

[queen crystal]

Valid. Thx

[short wharf]

Is BS better then igulnic do people think?

[distant obsidian]

one head taps past 35m, one does not

[fallen mason]

Yes

[short wharf]

im running laberath

[vocal holly]

For every day raid, BS. Going to Labyrinth? I'm loading that blue tip boy

[split pilot]

Igolnik for anything with class 5 or better, so specific bosses maybe.

[short wharf]

right so blue boys for laberanth so

[split pilot]

Anything with 10 more penetration than the armor class doesn’t have its damage reduced if it goes through

[vocal holly]

Yeh, if you're doing Labyrinth, just run the best ammo for the caliber. Ilgonik for 5.45. SSA AP for 5.56. MAI AP for 7.62x39 etc

[distant obsidian]

why do people ask questions then provide additional context after peole have answered. Like.... aadd that context in to start?

just confusing

[split pilot]

Like class 4 does nothing to stop M61 with 60 pen, full damage no matter what

[short wharf]

so the extra BS damage is offset by the loss from pening class 6? yah blue boys sounding good rn, need to farm it tho

[vocal holly]

My farming method is Labyrinth apparently. Last time I went in, got 300 rounds of it from the Boys

[split pilot]

Yes, that is correct

[maiden garnet]

anyone run into the goons lately?

[fallen mason]

Just fought them on Shoreline

[astral kindle]

Shoreline

[short wharf]

yah the boys are good like that, they tend to give nice gifts, sometimes they can be mean tho, ill dy the odd time cuz tegilla goes super spead round a corner

[maiden garnet]

3 raids on shoreline they're not there

fuckers are scared of me ig

[short wharf]

I had massive luck with night customs, i was looking for cultists, the 3 amegos were there insted 4 raids in a row

[vocal holly]

Just peek it slowly, keep a full mag loaded, use grenades to bait then. Use low recoil builds to keep your aim on their heads

[short wharf]

ahh yah, its just sometimes you get the luck of things just not going your way, he can go 200mph around a corner sometimes, for some reason

[lavish socket]

Do you guys feel that suppressors are worth it in PVE? Have you guys noticed a difference?

[short wharf]

less recoil but more ware on gun afaik, thats the trade, afaik ai dosent react to gun srounds

[distant obsidian]

yes I notice a difference in stats

[lavish socket]

So ai doesn’t really know or care about the sound right?

[short wharf]

afaik thats correct

they tend to know where you are regardless

[lavish socket]

So probably not worth the extra money in buying it right? Other than my own ears

[bronze saddle]

its so ffffucking easy..... this is the 10th time ive killed Tagilla with the 6KH5

[lavish socket]

Dang

[proud obsidian]

i maxed out craft skill 😄

[median kite]

how can i do art of explosions?

[short wharf]

are the guards in laberanth work checking for good ammo? do they have a chance at it or are they always poor

[short wharf]

impacts, or shoot scavs in legs and roll the nade next to them

[distant obsidian]

serious question?

[bronze saddle]

also yeet the nades from a distance. a scav will scatter the moment a nade lands on the ground, if its still flying, they wont move. this also cooks the nade's timer as it flies towards them

[fallen mason]

Factory. Break scav/PMC legs and throw short fuse nades at their feet.

[median kite]

aight thanks

[median kite]

yeah lol

[bronze saddle]

PMCs are immune to movement imparement

[fallen mason]

They're not

[distant obsidian]

no they are not

[bronze saddle]

my ass, the amount of times ive literally cut off their legs with RIPS and HP rounds and they just run like 40 miles per hour, avoiding my nades is stupid

[ornate sundial]

underbarrel vogs or impacts on factory that what i did

[median kite]

how do i get impacts? lol

[distant obsidian]

you just kill things with explosives. How ever you want

[ornate sundial]

grenade boxes

[turbid owl]

by looting them

[median kite]

fuck, alr thanks

[daring creek]

ty for this i hope you find money on the ground 😭

[bronze saddle]

grenade boxes, dead bodies, boss guards and on rare occasions ive found some in weapon boxes.. oh yeah and if youre lucky on PMCs

[ornate sundial]

you could aslo get the straight up grenade launchers to

use the propane tanks

[obsidian linden]

What do you guys keep in your Gamma/Theta? Currently I keep a Docs, Injectors, Tig splint, dogtags, and SICC but I'm thinking I can get rid of the Dogtags since I can keep those in the SICC

[ornate sundial]

like the m32a1 is glorious if you can get your hands on it

[candid brook]

anyone know when santa and the Xmas tree leave?

[astral kindle]

You got your last kill?

[astral kindle]

19th

[daring creek]

YES

[ornate sundial]

sicc injectors and a grizzly

[astral kindle]

Eyy, gratz

[candid brook]

gotcha, need to burn all my ornaments and oranges

[obsidian linden]

Yea tbh I could prolly get rid of the Splint since we can put Survs in our Special now

[obsidian linden]

Why no docs tho?

[ornate sundial]

i just have a grizzly for fractures and when im down alot of health

[ornate sundial]

sicc is like a better docs case

[obsidian linden]

Tbh didn't know it could fix Fractures

[obsidian linden]

How better?

[daring flicker]

Bigger

just cant hold some things the docs can

[ornate sundial]

do0s case ahs 16 slots the sicc has 25

[obsidian linden]

Well yea but why not keep both? Even more space, and yea some stuff can go in one and not the other

[daring flicker]

Yh I do I have Sicc and 2 docs (1 with keys)

[hazy gorge]

2 docs, 1 sicc, 2 injectors and one golden star. One more free slot

[ornate sundial]

overkill much its not like your playin pvp

[hazy gorge]

That's the way i use my theta and its working great

A lot of space

And got all of the keys i use on me

[prime spade]

@rough badge Has thou ESCAPED?!

[ornate sundial]

do you not know what keys are good for each map so you just bring all of them?

[hazy gorge]

I do

I just dont care enough to change them

[ornate sundial]

ahh i see seem futile but who am i to judge

[hazy gorge]

Its pve after all i really dont care what i run

Just do shit

[lime elk]

Can cultists and goons spawn together at the same time on customs? Or do they share a spawn?

[maiden garnet]

4 raids no goons

desire sensor is going wild today

[ornate sundial]

just fought them on customs while fighting the cultists

[daring flicker]

You gotta Goon harder

[ornate sundial]

try customs

[lime elk]

Lit thank you! I’ll get two birds stoned at once here

[ornate sundial]

whats yalls opinion ok the tk pd?

[distant obsidian]

skip

but it seems like an ok gun

[rough badge]

NO

I will soon

[lime elk]

Big fan but objectively not amazing. Useable and fun

[ornate sundial]

unfortunate cuzz i love using guns others deem horrendous like the revolver shot guns once you get it to lvl 3 its actually pretty decent

[prime spade]

Goooood, Im going practice now for funzies

[distant obsidian]

mastery doesnt improve the gun

[ornate sundial]

with the revolver shot gun your reload way quicker less kick and better accuracy

[cloud ferry]

is it just me or transit items never work, at least as scav

[distant obsidian]

no, it changes some animations

mastery does not improve a gun at all.

[fallen mason]

you get reload while ADS at level 3

[distant obsidian]

yeah reload with ads Iguess

[fallen mason]

but other than animations and that you don't get anything else

[gleaming junco]

Do i need to have the audio recorder on me when visiting the Rus Post Car for Blue Fire ?

[distant obsidian]

yes

[ornate sundial]

idk i swear the reload is quicker

[gleaming junco]

shoot

[fallen mason]

New animation might make it look quicker but I don't believe the time is actually faster

[maiden garnet]

40 pen on soft point is very xd but besides that its literally just the svd on crack but 1000x more annoying to get

[mild meadow]

have they rolled back those loot nerfs on the marked rooms at all?

[maiden garnet]

wait for christmas tree to go away and the spawns should be better

[mild meadow]

hope so. opened chek13 last sunday and got a saiga12, sp8, and ultranosler. that was literally all there was

[maiden garnet]

i opened up shared bedroom and got a singular tangerine

literally 0 other spawns

[mild meadow]

utterly ridiculous

[slender lantern]

Why would Christmas tree affect the loot in marked?

[ornate sundial]

i just looked it up mastery 3 one all revolver type weapons increases the fluidity of the reload and reload speed along with reduced visual recoil

[slender lantern]

I thought we are just waiting for BSG to buff loot in marked

[gleaming junco]

I guess cause ornament spawns take up the potential regular loot spot

[slender lantern]

I mean instead of 2 ornament you could get 4 due to tree 😂

[simple briar]

Got 4 kills in one raid for CO on Customs, amount of mental gymnastics I had to do to lure them inside stronghold is baffiling...

[spiral torrent]

I tried entering terminal with my keycard but still got shot, put all the weapons in backpack including knife. do I really need solar to not get shot?

[latent turtle]

I mean I get like 12 kills sometimes so

Pretty good

[slender lantern]

Has anyone used the call in air strike item?

[proper scarab]

@cloud ferry Same here, interact for 30 sec and nada happens

[latent turtle]

Theres a call in air strike

[thorn hedge]

I have no idea about the Sr-25, whats a good build for that one ?

[broken fable]

Did key spawns got nerfed, haven’t found a key on the woods bunker

[latent turtle]

Least you know woods without needed a map

[glass dawn]

The one thats looks the most milsurp

[thorn hedge]

huh? xD

[glass dawn]

Making your gun look the most dripped out, looking cool is 100% of the battle, if you die you die looking sick

[thorn hedge]

😂

[subtle valve]

I just killed cultists and priest finally had a key... machinery key

[broken fable]

I just slap a holographic sight on any gun I use then I’m good for few raids

[glass dawn]

Trust bro, meta is for lamos

[gleaming junco]

I got a shitty key too. TerraGroup Storage Room Keycard

[broken fable]

They really nerfing rare loots

[glass dawn]

Yea dude, woods bunker is trash know same as marked rooms

[peak edge]

if u find the rfid device and master keycard can you avoid paying the 40 btc

[subtle valve]

Well.. 4k rub shit key vs Polikhim keycard xD

[broken fable]

I was surprised when I found a blank rfid from a scav in woods

[subtle valve]

#screenshots message

[broken fable]

So it’s a required item for one of the endings?

[subtle valve]

I have like 15 blank rfids, not so rare drop when farming scavs on factory

[lime fox]

guys, i'm legit going crazy! has anyone seen an antique axe in the last week? 😭

[glass dawn]

Im at 145 mil, im on the road for 300 mil, Im so fucking brainrotted

[glass dawn]

Ive only seen a few

[thorn hedge]

#screenshots message is this drip enough ?

[subtle valve]

Ok... I did transit to factory and now going back to customs hoping for 2x cultists in same raid chain :V

[lime fox]

Its my last kappa item and I've seen literally zero, tried farming reshala guards and shturman guards (only had camping axes), and killed tons of raiders on labs

[vocal holly]

I swear I'm losing my mind. I had a task to kill 5 scavs in the train depot. That task has vanished from my task list. Has it been deleted from the game?

[subtle valve]

Color mismatch bro

[hazy gorge]

should i destroy my kappa and keep my theta container

[thorn hedge]

i like the red and black in there - contrasts !

[subtle valve]

Just go factory and farm regular scavs

[steel heath]

#screenshots message y'know the vibe I get is that finding the bastards is only the first half of cultist hunting

Hose a suspicious individual in a black hooded coat running through the dark

Get hosed with at least 3 other weapons from 3 different directions. One firing PPBS. I was wearing a thor with t6 plates.

[subtle valve]

Cultists are at least fighting, priest is a hide and seek noob

[thorn hedge]

Now lets bring a single shot gun into interchange and get onetapped by killa or something

[vernal ridge]

im doing is that a reference and i realize

this shits gon be annoying as fuck to do

[steel heath]

HAHA! the guy I capped was a priest! Excellent.

[burnt viper]

Anyone wanna run Terminal with me?

[tender rune]

level 16, need help questing and dont have keys, not new to the game but havent played in about 6 months

[subtle valve]

Take KS-23 with barrikada slugs, you can 2tap him to faceshield 😄

[burnt viper]

I feel it’s only mildly annoying

[thorn hedge]

Is there any point having plates on our back? how often do one get shot in the back?

[thorn token]

very

[vernal ridge]

my biggest mistake was trying out lighthouse once more to do that quest

because the damn pmcs got my ASS

[burnt viper]

Whenever you run away or get pulled up on from behind

[peak edge]

goons dont spawn

[thorn hedge]

if i run nighttime interchange do i need nvg when im inside?

[glass dawn]

Good enough, Im just a filthy milsimmer so I make mil builds at my own detriment just so I can look good

[turbid owl]

no its bright enough

[burnt viper]

Depends if you turn on the power

Scavs and killa will see your light or lasers from a mile away tho

[thorn hedge]

i need to do insomnia

[subtle valve]

I have cultists again, customs -> factory -> customs

Now around crack... and I am inside :0

[thorn hedge]

Now u go streets , kill kaban - kollontay, then u go factory kill tagilla, then interchange kill killa and tagilla then u go customs and cultist are back

and your exp will be nice aswell

[subtle valve]

Nah... I kill them and extract

Killed two and priest, no idea where are others

i hate scavs so much. Was doing a scav run and one breached a door to a room i was in, scared the shit out of me so i shot him. Then i ended up killing another scav, then came across 4 usec, and 2 bears. im amazed i made it out

yes

[burnt viper]

I’m down, NA servers?

Oh wait just read your name lol

[half creek]

i can run on na servers

NAE or NAW?

[burnt viper]

NAW

[steel heath]

So for lexos, go to the entrance near sparja by the construction site and huck grenades at the mg emplacement before rushing in, is that it?

[vapid leaf]

i prefer the other side by car extract if your talking about Kaban

[half creek]

yeah i can run it with you. Lemme know what call you in

[vapid leaf]

its a matter of preference. med up. run up to the metal door, chuck a nade and run up to the container but not inside the compound. now you can camp the mg as the guards mount it. now take your time and peak the guards slowly one by one b

[steel heath]

med up with what

[vapid leaf]

any painkiller

[turbid owl]

what is shturmans spawn chance currently? i feel like its 100%?

[vapid leaf]

in case the mg shoots you under the little slit

rare but it happens occasionally

as long as you move fast you should be fine

its important Kaban dies last since if you hit him even once all the remaining guards will bum rush you out of nowhere

[vernal ridge]

running around wearing the masha helmet in factory is fun

[steel heath]

...Morphine or L1?

[burnt viper]

#22 pve

[vapid leaf]

either works. as long as it gives you pain resistance

painkillers are fine also

or golden star

[steel heath]

L1 it is then, for the stamina boost. need an edge

[vapid leaf]

its important to move fast when you enter through the main gate yeah, stick to the right and hug the container that has the grenade launcher on top of it. guards should scatter with the initial grenade so you can camp the MG and pick off the scavs

then take it slowly and peek one after another before getting Kaban. chuck a nade now and again to stir the nest a bit

[steel heath]

camp it from where? And by car extract do you mean in from near AV's car/Teppakot?

[vapid leaf]

i can run it with ya if you want. show ya the strat

or make you a map of sorts with paint

[steel heath]

It it goes bad I can alt-f4 out, cut the precognition branch and start over

got an nl545, airframe with the shield and chops, and a thor with t6 plates
we dress for success

[lavish grotto]

streets is not local

you can’t do that exploit

[vapid leaf]

streets is forced servers

[steel heath]

I did not know that, thank you

[vapid leaf]

the NL545 is good but note that Kaban's guards have 55 head hp

[narrow eagle]

friend has a red 1 above their hideout any ideas what that means?

[vapid leaf]

the two named guards have 70 each so be ready to double tap

[steel heath]

At the very least, getting a thor, even if it's empty, is easy cause I have a gorillion sas drives

[steel heath]

Ok so they were doing something that needs the power to stay on, but shut it off so they need to find one of the items needed for it again to resume it

[vapid leaf]

snipers are especially annoying for that

[distant obsidian]

your stacking so many movement and ergo debuffs.

def dont reccomend what your doing

[steel heath]

wheeze Ergo and Movement don't fucking matter if the guards eradicate you with a head jaws with no reprisal!

[thorn hedge]

Fkin santa scared the kaka out of me

[distant obsidian]

all theri ammo goes through all that

[vapid leaf]

we run armor over ergo

[distant obsidian]

your stacking debuffs for nothing

[rare field]

cringe exploiter / Gear fear

[fallen mason]

They won't. I kill kaban with a CPC and a boss cap all the time

[distant obsidian]

they pen class 2 and 3 with their first round

[vapid leaf]

Kaban's guards often have shit ammo so keep the T6 plates

in case any of them run BS or the like

[distant obsidian]

yeah reg4 ultra light t6s are good. But the airframe is terriblew

better to use the ronin in that case

at least you get a bounce chance

[vapid leaf]

tbh its PVE its not gonna matter that much

[steel heath]

sip you know, once I was pushing into Lexos with two friends through Sparja side only for a sniper to shoot me through an LShZ

[distant obsidian]

yeah that wrong

[narrow eagle]

yeah it was for one of the batya crafts it got cancelled interesting thanks 🙂

[vapid leaf]

i say run what you enjoy

[distant obsidian]

being able to ads and react quickly will save you more often then bad armor stacking debuffs.

[lavish grotto]

Doesn’t even really matter in pvp

[distant obsidian]

again, use the ronin if your going to want head protection

[rare field]

no gear no gun pure fists

[distant obsidian]

and drop teh thor, use the new 6b, its jsut better in every way

if you want to go armored, be smart about it and pick good gear

thor airframe is is worse protection and stats over something like a ronin new 6b

[steel heath]

Bosses and guards in this game will often ignore the outer layers of the Survivability Onion (Avoid being Seen, Avoid being hit). The "Damage Mitigation" layer is the only thing I can rely on.

[distant obsidian]

that all wrong

[steel heath]

Also, I think the ronin looks like ass.

[lavish grotto]

ronin blocks good headsets

[fallen mason]

It doesn't. But it's funny seeing people cry when they go in weighing 40+kg with equipment and still die.

[silent kite]

Where's the best plae to get eletric drills?

[distant obsidian]

the new earbuds are like comtac 4. they are good enough

[vapid leaf]

drip above all

[native orbit]

I wear knights mask

[distant obsidian]

i mean you do you, but your choice of gear is terriblely inefficent for what your wanting to do, and also doesnt do it well

[vapid leaf]

i larp as Big Pipe

[steel heath]

I go to reserve back during frostbite with a Kotton. 37 seconds in, I am head-jawsed by one of Glukhar's men.

I go to reserve last week. I spawn on the other side from white queen, where I want to be. This time, I am wearing an airframe with the chops. Glukhar's men spot me. Their shot does not penetrate the helmet. I find the last COFDM I need for my quest.

[steel heath]

Amen

[distant obsidian]

that explains nothing

[native orbit]

i hate big pipe he always kills me when i kill knight and birdeye

[distant obsidian]

well, I am done trying to actually help you understand the game better. You do you

[steel heath]

It explains that protection matters, when you can spawn in, and barely obtain your bearings before being insta'd.

[peak edge]

where the hell r u finding them i cant find them for stay dogs

[vapid leaf]

i usually get smacked by Birdeye cuz the other two burn my ammo and Birdboy attacks just as i am reloading

[distant obsidian]

as the saying goes, a bee does not waste time trying to explain why honey is better then shit lol

[rare field]

person mentioned alt f4, beyond helping at that point

[narrow eagle]

I've found them at customs

[distant obsidian]

yeah, like imagine running a full air frame and thor over a ronin and new 6b for protection lol

like stack every singel debuff in the game for worse protection?

like its worse in every single way.

[native orbit]

pray they are on customs cuz its aids fighting them in shoreline and woods

[peak edge]

yah im going back there ive done like 8 shoreline nothing getting bored

[rare field]

i just use the old classic, neonsteel + deathshadow

[distant obsidian]

they rotate maps

[native basin]

every tracker tells me different map has anybody run into the goons recently

[distant obsidian]

arena ulach and death shadow

[vapid leaf]

the one time i found them (other than getting blasted straight off spawn in woods) was on shoreline

[steel heath]

I do understand how it works. I just don't care to treeat the meta like gospel because I think the slick, hexgrid, and ronin look mid, and honestly if you wear one of those you then open yourself up to getting throated.

[fallen mason]

I use a fake mustache or ghost half mask

[distant obsidian]

im not explaing fucking meta to you LOL

[native orbit]

i saw them in shorline as a scav today

[distant obsidian]

meta is running less

I am explaining efficiency to you.

but if you want to run shit gear. Be my guest.

[lavish grotto]

who cares about meta or efficiency its pve

[distant obsidian]

like I am over this convo lol

you do you

[steel heath]

Efficiency is not taking something you would be hard pressed to replace. Like a raid bag.

[distant obsidian]

👍

[steel heath]

(Besides, if I pull it off while knowingly disadvantaging myself, doesn't that make me cooler?)

[vapid leaf]

efficiency be damned. Min maxing is boring when the cool gear is more fun to run

[steel heath]

wearing the chops and the thor makes me feel mighty.

[snow folio]

am i softlocked from escaping if i completed the labrynth story chapter but i didnt grab all the notes?

[lavish grotto]

no you can just grab them again

[distant obsidian]

go again

i would assume

[snow folio]

but i cant get leshy's diary

it just wont spawn

[vapid leaf]

i think you only need the main item from the story chapter no? or do you need them all to finish?

[distant obsidian]

diary isnt required

[steel heath]

leshy
Inscryption mentioned!?

[snow folio]

it does say on the wiki i need to give it to kerman

[distant obsidian]

for major or minor

[snow folio]

minor

[distant obsidian]

then not required

[vapid leaf]

thats for achievement only then

[snow folio]

ohhh

ty ty

i did not know that

[steel heath]

are things like the postcard and dogtag for batya the same?

[vapid leaf]

uhh

i think you need to give them to lightkeeper anyways

[snow folio]

maybe i should just read 😭

[vapid leaf]

one of these days i gotta revise fighting rogues again

i gotta start getting LH tasks done

[steel heath]

the last time I had shit to take care of on LH I just had my friend knock the rogues with an AXMC before I crossed the plant
He also plays USEC but doesn't care about the rogues rep thing. shooting them myself would just make things way harder

[distant obsidian]

honestly will answer most questions people have about the game 😄

[steel heath]

Sometimes there are things that aren't quite explained like how a lot of notes items and tapes go into the handbook. Then maybe I'm just dumb.

[vapid leaf]

yeah, i gotta get the big rifles lol. either the AK 50 i get finished crafting in a bit or the new Contract Wars one should do the trick

[snow folio]

atleast i got a stacked labrynth loot haul from my stupidity

[rugged storm]

No bitcoins or ledx on labs kinda sucks : /

[tame shell]

Fixing the snowball achievement bug?

[distant obsidian]

who

[native orbit]

i have yet to go to labs, i have a labs access card but are able to spawn in labs or do you have to transit to it

[civic plank]

if first time u need to transit

[distant obsidian]

keep doing the story

[snow folio]

prob never

[native orbit]

sir yes sir

[steel heath]

You gotta slip in from under factory or from someplace in streets. Then hit all the spots for tour, leave, and you can go there directly

[smoky olive]

how it feels having good rep but youre underleveled so u js gotta legit kill anything you see

[storm token]

anyone had any luck with finding gpsa normally get loads but this wipe seems to be non

[smoky olive]

gpsa?

[storm token]

for intel 3

[smoky olive]

oh that thing

in my like 2 years of playing tarkov ive never seen that shit even ONCE

[spare goblet]

I haven't. Did 20 raids hitting all the rooms and haven't found one

[native orbit]

thank you i was curious

[civic plank]

how long does it take for raiders to spawn on labs without any button activation?

[storm token]

iits in labs but ive ran about 50 and non this wipe

[smoky olive]

thats cooked as hell

[spare goblet]

I had a bunch of them before 1.0 but after I cant find em at all

[storm token]

if you need help with labs i can run one for your tour im trying to find that annoying lil thang

ye got to a point of them being annoying

[spare goblet]

Im trying to use the cultist circle to get them but sadly I accepted drip out task 💀

[storm token]

whats the best way to get them in cultist?

[spare goblet]

6 hour timer, the peacekeeper barter for an access card for the gun

Its cheaper than 5 sas or smt drives

[storm token]

ive been doing 3xstms

4*

[vapid leaf]

or 5 mp5s

[spare goblet]

You can also test your luck with the scav loot thingy in hideout

[storm token]

guess ill just run labs till my eyes bleed

[spare goblet]

Thing is you cant put it in your butt, so when you find it you cant die

[storm token]

when i do find it itll be straight to extract

[native orbit]

im not gonna lie I have like 200 hours in pve but ive only played customs and stayed on the outskirts of interchange

am i cooked

[marsh wing]

a little

[storm token]

very

labs is a maze if you dont know it

[fathom turtle]

violet and yellow room

[storm token]

hit them about 20 times

[fathom turtle]

violet and yellow room 21 times

[storm token]

gonna go for 50 just to be safe

[shut bough]

Where's the last place anyone has seen the goons today?

[vapid leaf]

does it matter if i keep the 1156 or give it to Mechanic? does it impact the story?

[astral kindle]

Give it

Because if you give it. ||You get 1m roubles||
If you keep it ||You get nothing. You are suppost to get achievement, but its not in PvE||

[vapid leaf]

ah

[twilit eagle]

Did you have any luck with the blueprint password?

[vapid leaf]

so there is no incentive to keep it then, thanks

[steel heath]

Well, that's one attempt. Kaban's other guy got me while I was trying to get a clean one off. Time to switch to 7.62

[marsh belfry]

man

for the first time, those sudden freezes almost got me killed

after 186 hours this is the first time it happens at the worst time

[pallid merlin]

bro where is partisan at

[marsh belfry]

in a bush waiting for you

[pallid merlin]

I swear I havent seen him since they nerfed the loot

[marsh belfry]

you prob killed him without realizing it tbh

[steel heath]

I saw him just earlier, 15th kill on unc

[rare field]

even with receiving a hint i still have not figured it out.

[native orbit]

nikita please let us have acheivements in pve or just remove the inaccessible ones

[vapid leaf]

since they changed him so he actually makes noise and shouts like a boomer telling kids to get off his lawn its been simple hunting him

am i trippin or are there no round glasses on the flea?

[amber sigil]

how to get a portable powerbank? only thing im missing for camera, Action!

[rare field]

cabinets

[astral kindle]

Craft

[amber sigil]

what craft?

[astral kindle]

Oh wait nvm its not cratable but used in multiple ones, got it mixed

Uhh, keep checking techloot, i honestly find them quite commonly on those large wooden crates

[amber sigil]

any locations i should check?

[vapid leaf]

emercom base on woods has plenty of tech spawns

a lot of boxes and wooden crates

[steel heath]

ground zero has gigaloads of the big crates. Check Tarbank, Olive, and the garages.

[proper harness]

so now that ive completed trouble in the big city, how will i know when i get a new lightkeeper task other than coming out here and talking to the man? i vaguely remember a labryss lightkeeper task involving stashing cultist knives in the labyrinth but idr how i got to it

[vapid leaf]

alternatively filing cabinets

[magic yacht]

Cabinets

[steel heath]

Oh, and GZ has tons of cabinets too.

[vapid leaf]

trouble is the last LK task. you get the labrys task by finishing all other labrys tasks

[sharp obsidian]

Hello, It is I, your favorite misinformator

[amber sigil]

where powerbank

[sharp obsidian]

Sports bag, trust (Go into rasmussen, tekno and techlight in interchange possibly there)

[amber sigil]

thanks

[vapid leaf]

also

[proper harness]

okay thanks. is the labryss lk task the very last one or did they add more

[vapid leaf]

can you still cheese Lightkeeper if you finish the labrys tasks? so you dont have to do network provider and the like?

its the last if i recall

[sharp obsidian]

Wdym cheese

[proper harness]

i remember doing it and getting the dungeon master achieve, ok ty

[magic yacht]

Its the last side task iirc, there are more reasons to go back to him for story chapters

[vapid leaf]

back when the labyrinth even released. if you didnt have lightkeeper you got skipped straight to the task taht gives you the transponder and the V3 USB in mail to finish the achievements

[turbid owl]

OMG finally got capturing outposts done!! FINALLY... now contemplating what to do.... do i go to bed or get KFC and enjoy my evening for a few more hours...

[proper harness]

my friend and i are trying to go to the labryss, hes never been, has the task to go there but doesnt have access card, where can he easily obtain one initially other than finding them on bosses? i dont believe hes unlocked the barter yet

[magic yacht]

No, that was only available while the event was active

[sharp obsidian]

Possibly because it was an event so they made it so everyone could do it quickly

[vapid leaf]

shame. time for pain then

[sharp obsidian]

NP is easy to do if you saved your cofdms

[vapid leaf]

yeah well

jokes on me

[sharp obsidian]

No other way than killing gilla

[vapid leaf]

i dont even have the ones needed for hideout

[sharp obsidian]

Now do gendarmerie task line

[proper harness]

bummer, thanks. well at least it's an ez boss >:)

[magic yacht]

If you proceed through the Labyrinth story chapter you can unlock an early barter from Jaeger

[sharp obsidian]

Card is pretty rare, rinse and repeat

[turbid owl]

already completed all of those

[sharp obsidian]

Oh

Do snowball achievement

[sharp obsidian]

He said his friend dont have barter yet

[vapid leaf]

touch grass

[turbid owl]

nah i dont do achievements. i just really dont care for them

[turbid owl]

ew

[vapid leaf]

also how the hell did you get pmcs inside the stronghold

[magic yacht]

You get it by doing the Labyrinth story chapter, you don't have to enter the Labyrinth

[sharp obsidian]

Yes…..and he has to wait 24h for the barter.

Which he doesn’t have.

[magic yacht]

Well then he has to wait

[sharp obsidian]

Thats exactly my point.

[vapid leaf]

you can get keycards from the cultist circle twice no?

[rare field]

wait a day or spend your entire day wasting time on 1 boss for a card drop
