pve-chat

[thorn token]

aight, for the longest time i've been using a diary and 2 mp5sd from pk

that's enough for the 6 hr as well

i was just looking for a rouble one since im running low on usd

i do have some spare sas drives though, so the thor is good

and its 14hrs, fuck

dunno never used it

[astral kindle]

Don't talk about potential exploits here

[steel heath]

Just fumbled a retardedly easy shturman wipe

Goddamn it. He shot me in the same blacked arm that he blacked earlier

he got lucky and got the lethal off of that when he was right in front of me

[young frost]

i think its already being implemented. my bro found one wearing a vulkan on factory last night

[steel heath]

One correct roll of the dice and he would've been atoms, and his boss' goop would've been mine

one of my bros found a ronin respirator on a pmc earlier

[thorn token]

whats so good about the ronin respirator fr

i usually just ignore them

[young frost]

most coverage when using nvgs

[astral kindle]

And its lvl 4

[young frost]

they are ugly tho. they look like dog muzzles or something

i guess my original description of them was too risque for this channel lol

[ornate bolt]

yeah i have seen some improvements but its still not worth going and looting them anymore.

like i want it to be like pvp wear theres a good chance of looting a gopped up pmc and it being worth it yk.

[thorn token]

i just loot for grenades

if its late enough in the raid they'll have loot on them too that they found

[chilly bone]

i cant wait for santa to go away

[thorn token]

so checking the bag isnt bad

[worthy otter]

Considering that the minimum age to use Discord is 13, I’d certainly agree you should not be sharing those things with the chat

[ornate bolt]

yeah but also their kits aswell

[thorn token]

every once in a while theyve got a nicely built gun

[ornate bolt]

always a damn rd tho that ive already got like five of. or the 10.5 urgi m4

[thorn token]

the ones i fight lately have been more AK side

which is nice for me, since i almost exclusively run AK platforms

save for a few things like the MDR and some marksman rifles

[smoky olive]

how much a gpsa worth

[ornate bolt]

it would be good if there kits corilated to there level. like your not gonna see a lvl 50 pmc runnning around with a basic mp5

[smoky olive]

holy true

[thorn token]

that would be nice

kinda like how *** does it

[modern lichen]

or no voice line when they spot you. lol..

[thorn token]

nah keep that shit, i like knowing its not a scav

[ornate bolt]

like they should have there kits based on pvp kits that get circulated every day or something

[smoky olive]

does having a gpsa i found mean im rich or nah tho im on labs mid raid

[thorn token]

doesnt change how i fight them, but it does give me incentive to kill them instead of ignoring them

[smoky olive]

ii also have 0 clue what it even does

[marsh wing]

i hate finding scavs fulled decked out in PMC gear and not knowing who it is

[thorn token]

leave with it rn

[smoky olive]

ah so its that good

[smoky olive]

truclear bomb

[thorn token]

that shit is impossible to find, you need it for intel 3 fir

cant sell it on flea afaik either

[smoky olive]

what if i sold it instead tho.. 🤔

[smoky olive]

fawk

[ornate bolt]

lol

[thorn token]

yea cant sell it on flea just checked

it doesnt have to be fir though for intel 3 im seeing

but might as well be, since you cant buy it off flea

[smoky olive]

remind me what does intel do again

[modern lichen]

labs is the only play its spawns at

[smoky olive]

im a little goblin that just sells everything

[thorn token]

you need intel 3 for batya

[smoky olive]

understood

[thorn token]

besides that, scav cooldown is faster, insurance returns faster, money gain from tasks is higher

[smoky olive]

i can get all the other shit pretty easy but i guess this item is legit a needle in a haystack

[thorn token]

yea

that and the 2 cofdms required

but those are easier than the gpsa

[young frost]

sry ):

[ornate bolt]

get to extracting bro 😭

[smoky olive]

more money you say...

im glad its not the raid where i got the 12 raiders in my butt

id wish it would stop spawning that fuckass dumbell tho i cant even pick that up

[thorn token]

at intel 2, it's bonuses are +17.25% task money reward boost, insurance return time -23%, and scav cooldown -17.25%

[thorn token]

honestly, just shove it in your ass and keep looting

it doesnt need to be found in raid to use it

i was wrong about that part

[smoky olive]

haha funny thing it wont let me

[thorn token]

at level 3 intel, flea market fee is reduced by 30% too

o, then fuckin leave bro

[smoky olive]

im OUT of here im already full of crap anyways

[thorn token]

lmao

[smoky olive]

i only got yellow keycard but even with that i know the spots

[thorn token]

i need to learn labs spots

i only have yellow as well

[cursive summit]

Just learned fence can sell cultist knives, neato

[smoky olive]

ok so basically in the medical unit theres a spot where u can find free injectors

[marsh wing]

i have enough money, i might just buy a bunch of paca's, pistols, and bolt actions and just keep running factory back to back until i get my pmc kills

[smoky olive]

end of one of the hallways room with yellow gas room nearby with panel touch switch go loot

also just go into EVERY office you can

and the big main wooden round table office in the middle of labs

anyways do u guys know about the (almost) guaranteed gun spawn spot on custom no keys needed

[light root]

does arena automaticlaly give me xp in pve?

it only shows my pvp lvl and stats, not pve

[worthy otter]

Yes, experience and skill points gained in Arena will transfer

[thorn token]

i want the tech loot though

where did you find the gpsa

[smoky olive]

uh

it was just sitting in yellow lmfao

you will just find crap anywhere if u check those spots tho

offices can spawn gpus just on the desk so trust me go loot it

look VERY closely in the rooms on shelves and on desks

[marsh wing]

idk how, but i managed to come up behind tagilla and just one tap him in the back of the head

first time killing him

[smoky olive]

if he doesnt detect u yea u can do that

[tight cobalt]

is anyone elses game not functioning?

[smoky olive]

nah. but whats the issue u got

[ornate bolt]

yes so laggy

[tight cobalt]

launcher stuck loading, im steam

[smoky olive]

steam thing idk

restart yo shi

oh man what a fucking CRAZY way to die

[fallen flax]

Is trading a thing or is it not allowed?

[smoky olive]

very clearly aiming at my leg and i get head eyes

[smoky olive]

uh i guess it exists?

[fallen flax]

I'm lvl 25 and can't buy a ledx on flea for a long time. Anyone wanna help me out? I'll pay

[rare field]

Rule 6

[rare field]

Yeh definatly go read rule 6 bud

[fallen flax]

where's the rules?

nvm

[peak edge]

what u need it for

[marsh wing]

get the stuff to craft one at the xmas tree

[fallen flax]

med lvl 3

[marsh wing]

or go farm the large presents. I pulled a ledx out of one yesterday

[fallen flax]

how do you farm large presents?

[vale atlas]

Go to christmas tree many time

[marsh wing]

load into a radi, go to the tree, look for the gold presents, leave raid with present, repeat

[smoky olive]

Christmas tree. Dont die tho

[marsh wing]

i think each tree spawns at least one guaranteed

[fallen flax]

nice

[vale atlas]

Don't let them tell you what to do, you can die if you want

[fallen flax]

I'll look

[marsh wing]

or just grab ornaments on the tree and craft one in your hideout tree

[rare field]

Better be quick you got 1 day left

[vale atlas]

Shit that reminds me i should go pop the rest of those purple flares

One of them might gve me the drills i need

[peak edge]

the prup flare go away?

[rare field]

No

[vale atlas]

I think you keep them but they stop functioning outside of pretty skylights

[rare field]

They'll just become normal most likely

[marsh wing]

is it finally confirmed?

[rare field]

What confirmed

[marsh wing]

the xmas event ending

[vale atlas]

18th end date for snow stuff

[marsh wing]

sweet

i can finally play normal tarkov for the first time

[rare field]

sheesh idk man its not like there was a post on the 5th saying
''Christmas Tree Hideout module will be available for use until January 19th 9AM GMT / 4AM EST.''

[urban shell]

who said snow is going away

tree and ornaments is

[vale atlas]

I've been looking forwards to it leaving too, i just came back after years, barely remember the maps

[worthy otter]

Fake news

[vale atlas]

Ur fake news

[worthy otter]

Snow is going in spring

[rare field]

l2 read announcements

[vale atlas]

snow pls

[strange tiger]

Was there a est date for pve prestige?

[vale atlas]

I bet Nikita makes us reset the accounts before the prestige system will work

[marsh wing]

snow is sticking around until xmas, they arent gonna bother getting rid of it. It's too close to christmas to take it away and give it right back

[worthy otter]

I mean you’ll probably have to have already done that because it’ll require main story chapters

[vale atlas]

Oh i had to do that when i returned anyway, wasn't getting event stuff

Lost a couple of days of progress to that lol

[worthy otter]

But the only reason people had to reset their profile for story chapters is because you start Tour and therefore all subsequent story chapters in the tutorial of the game

[worthy otter]

Snow is part of the winter season in Tarkov, so it’ll be staying until the spring season begins

[strange tiger]

I mean, im level 60 with like 4 tasks left, so was just curious is all

[vale atlas]

I was really excited for snow leaving too

god damnit

[marsh wing]

and tagilla just ran up on me, completely silent before glitching into a crouch

i need 1 more PMC kill with a bolt action less than 25m

[vale atlas]

Sometimes i feel like tagilla teleports to just outside of doorways

Then receives a telepathic signal from the mothership that tells him to charge and one shot you

[marsh wing]

i WOULD have had it on my last factory run, but a pmc ate two shots to the face from 5 feet away

[opaque coral]

why do bosses TARGET YOUR LEGS

[marsh wing]

im trying to figure out why bosses target me at all

like bro, im not even that cool, go kill someone else

[valid garnet]

use the mxlr

things goated

[umbral dagger]

I'm in the same boat, spawned in to Tagilla already on my fucking nuts, and I hate doing factory quests because it always spawns me into his BREATHING INTENSIFIES

I am SO sick of fucking tagilla it's not even fucking funny. I am getting mega tilted over spawning in for 10 second raids.

Speaking of, I popped in specifically to ask what's the fastest suppressed shotgun loadout to smoke him? Suppressed saiga with drum, magnum buck, shoot the legs?

[peak edge]

does anyone know what the soic book is used for ? will i need it for savior ending

[marsh wing]

HOW DO YOU KILL TAGILLA

[woeful ravine]

Leg meta

[marsh wing]

loaded his chest with 8 rounds of a bolty from 10 feet away, then dumped two mags of a TT into him and he didnt drop

[umbral dagger]

his front torso and face have level 6 armor, shooting center mass wont work with him

[fallen mason]

Shoot him in the face.

His mask is half durability when he spawns

[marsh wing]

fuck then ill aim for his legs next time

[cursive summit]

Fuckass santa didnt give me anything

[marsh wing]

i somehow managed to run around him and a scav for a good 30 seconds before he bonked me one final time

[royal depot]

Isn't hit throat exposed? No neck protection from his armor?

[umbral dagger]

Even with the level 4 ronin, I still get one-shot by him every time

[cursive summit]

I kinda just had tagilla stare at him while I magdumped his legs

[umbral dagger]

I believe so, but with the way the hit boxes are, it's more luck to get the neck vs torso or head hitboxes

[broken gull]

the streamer case that worth it?

[median kite]

So, idk if to ask here, but im on the ticket, and i just opened the armored case, got a keycard and there was a message from sistem that gave me a quest item, now, what should i do? now it says read the instruction from the armored case

[umbral dagger]

I really wish they would put a minimum spawn distance on bosses. My biggest gripe about PVE is getting instasmoked by tagilla or goons on raid start

[median kite]

i found iiittt

[cursive summit]

I say absolutely since you can just get the streamer items along the way of tasking and the items won't take up storage space, like the fuckin dumbell

[broken gull]

that;s true i'll just grind it out then

[median kite]

HELP, what should i do if i want savior ending?
#screenshots

please, help fast lol

[marsh wing]

and you have the BEAR BUDDY!!!!!!

[strange tiger]

1

[median kite]

what oh ok

u edited it lol

thank u so much

[strange tiger]

gotchu

[broken fable]

the fucking dumbell weighted so much that my squad had to do a escort mission following me to the nearest extract

[median kite]

WHAAAT, i need black keycard now?

[strange tiger]

Yurrrp

[median kite]

im broke :c

[strange tiger]

Get farmin my guy

[cursive summit]

You can just buy it off the flea and use the cultist circle to make it found it raid, I luckily found it when it first got added in a safe and the car extract was right next to me

[median kite]

i have a kruglov's rfid keycard, what is it for?

[cursive summit]

Terminal i believe

[smoky olive]

DO NOT LOSE THAT

[median kite]

if its on my special spot it doesnt lose? right? even when i die

[smoky olive]

yes

good good..

[broken gull]

RB-PK marked room...

on a scav... alwayss loot ya scavs boys

[broken fable]

almost the most rare items I always find are on a scav

[broken gull]

also i've run interchange at least 10x i still haven't ran to killa

[royal depot]

Currently hunting him now, maybe he's here for me 😄

[clear wasp]

bruh how are we, in the pve flea, allowing tank bats to go for 830k worth of euros

[broken gull]

gl

[royal depot]

I will let my RPDN say hello for you if he's here ❤️

[broken gull]

i'm using my RPDN for test drive too.. no luck hope he's there fdor u tho

[royal depot]

I got my kappa last night, I just think this thing slaps 😄

[broken gull]

RPDN is actually fun asf, specially the shorty version, i run that in factory

[strange tiger]

The problem with the rpdn, is you just dont realise how fast its gunna shoot out them boolets

Then you empty all of a sudden, its rude

[broken gull]

i try to be mindfull of my rounds, i usually carry 3 drums in factory but interchange usually 2, but i don't fully use all of it

[inner geyser]

The audacity of the gun to run out of bullets

[strange tiger]

It should fkn know better

[frigid flint]

cultist paying out good tonight, got 2 polikhims and a 314 key already

[inner geyser]

[broken gull]

can u take me for polikhim.. i need it for tour 😄

[frigid flint]

no sorry 🙁 im gonna sell them when loot gets buffed

[inner geyser]

fair

[royal depot]

Status update: No cute boys wearing green christmas sweaters at the mall tonight 🙁

[broken gull]

dang, okay

[frigid flint]

just farm cultists theyre payin out

[inner geyser]

you can go kill your own cultist, they arent hard to kill

[broken gull]

i don't even think i've ran into one, has lil over 300 hours now

[frigid flint]

i just learned how to farm them and its pretty easy. just get into stronghold on customs and check all the bushes from the top. im getting them a decent amount on customs.

[inner geyser]

just run customs night and run the factory area and exit green flare

you will run into them

[broken gull]

they spawn from what, 10pm to 4am?

[frigid flint]

they spawn from like chem plant to drug lab

[inner geyser]

just dont go into fort

[frigid flint]

21-630 i think?

wiki has it

[inner geyser]

around then

they arent difficult

they are just annoying because they hide

[broken gull]

how do u flush em out then?

[marsh wing]

just had a VERY good factory run

[frigid flint]

is that the center building? always called it stronghold. thats the one where ive been dinking them all. just try to find as many as you can and dink one, theyll all start shuffling around

[broken gull]

u wanna take me 😄

[umbral dagger]

40 rounds of magnum buck to the legs does NOT kill tagilla

[frigid flint]

if you go the main fortress building in the middle of industrial section of customs, make sure reshala and his guards arent in there

[ripe cairn]

It’s 22-7, and to flush them out there’s not much, you can get lucky with a grenade to make them aggro, otherwise you’d best hope you see them before they see you

[frigid flint]

uhhhh prob not man. im in dc with some friends rn

[broken gull]

no prob, ima solo dolo that hoe then

[frigid flint]

theres good guides on yt for it

[inner geyser]

nades and just scanning

if the arent agro but know where you are they will rush you with their knives

best opportunity to kill them, but you risk getting poisoned

[primal heath]

for cultist hunting on customs how many raids should I expect to run before I encounter them?

[frigid flint]

kinda seems like they dont get aggressive unless youre too close or hit one of them.
its 25% chance or something like that for cultists to spawn. bring green flare, you can just extract by railway if theyre not there and speed it up

[ripe cairn]

2ish is best case, 5-6ish is probably worst case

[primal heath]

do they spawn bushes around Fortress?

[frigid flint]

yup

from drug lab to chem plant

[opaque coral]

nerf labry killa bro mother fucker doesnt die to m61 2 raids in a row

[ripe cairn]

Yes, primarily, sometimes also in the ref quest building beside it

[primal heath]

Do they show on thermals?

[inner geyser]

they are a 25% chance of spawning. This doesn't mean you will see them every 4 raids, but they are lower than the bosses on the map and just higher than the goons.

I have gone entire night periods not seeing them.

[ripe cairn]

Yes, that’s one of the easier ways to see them

[inner geyser]

a little but it isnt very clear

they are slightly hotter than the ground but not by much

[frigid flint]

they take that stim that makes them colder so youll have trouble seeing them. its easier just to bring nvgs and turn your monitor brightness up lol

[ripe cairn]

True, and lots of times they just lay prone until they rush you

[frigid flint]

theyre basically vietcong, just check the bushes

[inner geyser]

yeah honestly, it is easier to see them with NVG's esp with snow rn

[broken gull]

what nvg to use?

[inner geyser]

I use quad nod

[frigid flint]

gpnvgs, you can barter skier for them

[broken gull]

what lvl?

[frigid flint]

ehhh idk youd have to check wiki

[broken gull]

found a barter on PK for 1 moonshine or lvl25+ bear tags

[frigid flint]

some of them spawn with tier 6 armor, so watch out for that lol

[inner geyser]

sent you the route I take

[median kite]

how do i get elektronika key? for the ticket?

[frigid flint]

from mechanic for 40 btc

[inner geyser]

The aim of the game with cultists is to be fast, in and out. But when looking for them in their spawn area, you should be a little slow to not miss them.

[grim stream]

what's the name of the keycard that goes to the power station on interchange

[frigid flint]

youll hear them shooting at ai often, listen for lots of suppressed shots
they crumpled santa in front of me earlier lmao

[frigid flint]

11ws? something like that

[grim stream]

thasnks

[frigid flint]

theres two, one for the container outside and one for the secret exit, id double check

[urban shell]

it's 11sr

[frigid flint]

so last night i died to a landmine while getting the last folder for blue fire. i read it and its in my notes. is that gonna screw me over for savior? probably im guessing

[regal tree]

just tried to go across to lightkeeper to turn in a task with the dspt out and encoded and i got shot and killed by his sniper?

[grim stream]

It's not 11SR. That's for safe room exfil

not power station

unless 11sr works on powerstation?

[frigid flint]

idk man, i thought you were talking about secret exit card. youre talking about the card door in the basement?

[grim stream]

yes

[frigid flint]

ive never opened that one sorry

[frigid flint]

did you flash the thing? theres an extra step after you assemble it before you can cross

[royal depot]

@broken gull The Killa man has been spotted, and made holy.

[broken gull]

never spawned on me once, but tagilla did

[fresh gulch]

sniped knight from 200m with an ak-12 and 25 minutes later i killed a scav who had his shit lmao

[royal depot]

@broken gull unfortunately santa claus decided to spook me while I was doing that, so he also is... no longer with us

[inner geyser]

when you double click your dspt what does it say for status

[lucid fern]

What’s the best marked for red rebel

[inner geyser]

same thing happen to me on terminal, a civ ran around a corner after a scav voice lined

[inner geyser]

Anyone who is not twin bedroom

[royal depot]

Shturman would have been my answer, but that's not a marked room >.>

[lucid fern]

Killed him like 6 times no luck

[umbral dagger]

would someone mind tossing a few silencerco salvo 12 thread adapters up on flea?

[royal depot]

I got you

[umbral dagger]

thanks man, lifesaver

[royal depot]

❤️

Didn't even gouge you 😄

[umbral dagger]

I saw, and I appreciate that.
I've lost 2mil to 10 seconds to sledgehammer raids so far

I've got a stack of factory quests and I cant get a single fucking raid in without tagilla spawning in my face

[frigid flint]

uzi pro with flesh ammo can beat his ass for pretty cheap

[umbral dagger]

If I lose another suppressed shotty to him, I'll give that a try. I'm hoping AP20 face shots* (apparently a certain joke term here is blocked lol) will do the trick this time, because I really need suppressed shotgun kills

[inner geyser]

[frigid flint]

good luck, i always pee a lil when i hear him getting pissed lol

[umbral dagger]

At this point, I'll be surprised if I dont spawn in to HEAVY BREATHING INTENSIFIES

[frigid flint]

i hate it so much when i know hes there and hes just breathing at me

[royal depot]

I'm looking for his heavy breathing brother at the mall again.

[frigid flint]

honestly imo ash12 is amazing at taking them both out

ps12b goated

[runic ferry]

can you go into terminal as a duo in pve ?

[umbral dagger]

I am 100% death rate in factory since november and 95% of those are tagilla sledgehammer to the head in the first 10 seconds. The only raids I have had that lasted more than a couple seconds are where I ran and he shot me in the back of the head.

[frigid flint]

you should look up a guide on killing him, itll make your runs a lot easier if boss is out straight away

my interchange runs were like that until i figured out how to farm killa

[subtle bison]

25% spawn rate my ass

havent seen any cultists in 8 raids

[frigid flint]

rip

reset is faster if you bring in green flare

[subtle bison]

true

do they have crazy aimbot

havent fought them much

[frigid flint]

no not really. they just hide in weird spots and take pot shots at you

[subtle bison]

alright

gotta kill two of them for a story quest

[frigid flint]

they do carry bp, so watch out for that

[gleaming junco]

Escort done !

[umbral dagger]

sorry I finally got a spawn without him in my face... and got shot through one of those blue trash dumpsters by a pmc.... -.-

I've watched a few guides, they dont really do anything different from what I've been doing. If anything, I've been more accurate, most of the guides I've watched they just hipfire his legs, so I've assumed it's more a loadout issue

[frigid flint]

yeah leg metaing tagilla is the way to go. you need a high fire rate and quake/rip to get her done

[stuck mantle]

Did they break PvE extracting on local again? Sitting at a black screen after extracting, able to hear the ambient map sounds...

[umbral dagger]

that also happens if its struggling to connect to their servers. Give it a few minutes

sometimes I get a gateway timeout error and have to do the raid over. It's just server/dns issues

[rigid forge]

Shoot good ammo at him

I 3 tapped his head w .300 blackout

After experiencing the same thing you did where he just mallets you dead over and over

Kind of surprised how he’s not really that hard to kill

You just gotta come at him weird have weird angles

[umbral dagger]

I literally spawn looking at him, so I am never afforded that opportunity

[rigid forge]

😭😭😭 bros already pulling the hammer out on you

[stuck mantle]

"Server error occurred on the backend, profile data could not be saves | Backend error: Cannot resolve destination host"

[frigid flint]

youre not doing test drive with the rpd are you?

[umbral dagger]

exactly. 100%, well, I finally had ONE raid where he didnt spawn in my face, so 99% of the time

[distant obsidian]

you play with an in game and IRL headset right?>

[umbral dagger]

yeah

I can hear him

[distant obsidian]

gota play off that audio

[stuck mantle]

Nope. Just killed gluhkar and got me 3 documents though 🙃

[distant obsidian]

aim, click head

[umbral dagger]

Again, I literally spawn with him in my face

[distant obsidian]

even better, aim click head

in my many factory runs, he never spawns in direct sight so

[umbral dagger]

except for the raid I just did, I'm at about 40 consecutive factory runs where he spawns within 20feet direct line of sight of me.

I dont have most of the meta ammos unlocked, and every ammo I've tried on the face just ricochet'd so...

[distant obsidian]

going to have to hit x doubt on that. but I guess you just need to learn how to fight him

we all do

[worthy otter]

Just shoot him in the neck a bunch and he will die to anything

[distant obsidian]

just do what everyone else said here

hes the easiest boss in the game. Only gets harder

[umbral dagger]

man, I've been playing since 2017, I am very well aware.

[worthy otter]

Tagilla is infinite gear farm

Spawn, kill him, extract, repeat

[umbral dagger]

I dont seem to have quake ammo unlocked

[frigid flint]

his gear is so mid tho

[worthy otter]

Class 6 plates and viable ammo and him spawning pretty much every raid is good enough

[frigid flint]

i have so many 6s already tho. i prob shouldnt have gotten grumpys key lol

[young frost]

wrong. gluhar is the easiest boss. hes the only one whos never killed me

[umbral dagger]

sanitar is the one I have an easy time with. His guards always come at me single file and I just nade the shit out of em

[broken gull]

man.. 5th run no cultist at all sucks

[frigid flint]

you might be able to get something decent off boss guards or something. his helmet is tier 5, so 45 pen would prob get you there

[young frost]

fal with 50rds of tcw carried me against him for a long time

[frigid flint]

does anyone drop flesh ammo consistently? i think reshala does when he has his uzi. one of his guards will drop warmage, as well.

[young frost]

scavs

they always got 762hp

[umbral dagger]

you know, I've been reticent to take 308s into factory because of this fucking horrendous luck, but that might actually be the trick to breaking out of this death loop. I think I have a fat stack of gnarly ap something or other accumulating

[young frost]

id be down to run it w u once im done eating

n tbh for him n his brother im a firm believer in large calibers

[umbral dagger]

I only play solo. I've been TKed every time I've played with someone else so I just swore it off. I appreciate the offer tho

[young frost]

jfc that sucks. well good luck out there

[frigid flint]

people do that in pve? lmao are they that hard up for a kit?

[young frost]

ive never been intentionally tkd in pve but ive had some rly stupid ones that pissed me off

[willow tinsel]

Nah, some people just has dementia and has 0 trigger dicipline and common sense

[umbral dagger]

it's never intentional, to be fair, and I've never played co-op since PVE's drop.
I started doing solo only in like... 2019ish?

[subtle bison]

another 2 runs no cultists

[frigid flint]

ah type of people who dont play any tac shooters

[proper spoke]

@subtle bison customs?

[frigid flint]

dang, thats actually pretty bad

[subtle bison]

yes

[umbral dagger]

It's usually someone shooting at us, so they flip around and shoot the first vaguely human shaped thing they see, which is almost always the teammate

[proper spoke]

Go shoreline

Customs is bad

[subtle bison]

i dont want to walk that far

[willow tinsel]

It's like their object permanence is nonexistent sometimes too, like they forgot how a player moves aswell

[frigid flint]

lmao i did all my accidental team killing in blastgang
just yell at them, thatll fix it hahaha

[umbral dagger]

I dont like how voice comms distract from my immersion, as well. I like playing it like it's stalker, creeping around, enjoying the ambience

[proper spoke]

It's better to walk that far than come back in another 40 minutes and say damn no cultists but you do you

[subtle bison]

its the same spawn rate though

[frigid flint]

yeah pve tarkov reminds me a lot of gamma. have you tried escape from pripyat? looked sweet

[umbral dagger]

I really wish we could extend the raid timers in pve so I could just go for a walk through tarkoc

[cursive abyss]

How do you guys feel about the AK308 vs the FAL?

[proper spoke]

I promise it's not even close. The customs spawn rate is under 10% rn

[frigid flint]

i feel like i get more ergo out of the 308, but idk i just like the fal. right arm of the free world.

[subtle bison]

it says 25% on tarkov dev though

[umbral dagger]

I was in the modding community for original Shadow of Chernobyl. Good times. I miss chatting with my buddies back then.

[cursive abyss]

I do like the AK308 a bit more, but nothing beats 7.62 NATO at 700 rpm

The sheer DPS is just insane

[proper spoke]

That isn't current. I knew it said that and painstakingly logged it myself. It's not even close.

[subtle bison]

ill give shoreline a try

[frigid flint]

does 308 get the drum mag? thats prob an advantage for fal actually. been dumping on shadow of tagilla with it.

[cursive abyss]

Nah only 24 round sticks

[subtle bison]

if the goons are there im not playing it though

[young frost]

one has 24 rd mags. the other has 50 rd mags.

[frigid flint]

goons on shoreline/woods fuggin suuuuuuucks

[subtle bison]

yeah

no cover

[broken gull]

do i need a specific lvl for cultist to spawn? did like 5 raids on local in customs n nothing

[willow tinsel]

Trust me i did, had a run in reserve, told mate im at PKPT, power is on, all raiders dead, he still ends up TK me, coming out a locked room - who could have possibly turned the power on, AI's cant get inside locked rooms, theres so many cues theres a player in there 😂

[cursive abyss]

I'll just use 30 round sticks with the FAL regardless because the ergo is god awful with the drums

[frigid flint]

i guess everyones havin bad luck rn on customs for cultists

[worthy otter]

That could just mean they aren't on Customs or you're unlucky, level has nothing to do with it

[umbral dagger]

do cultists rotate like goons?

[frigid flint]

yeah i could see callouts being a problem for sure

[broken gull]

they rotoate??

[young frost]

i got them like 2 raids ago

[subtle bison]

ive done like 10 raids on customs night raids

no cultists

[worthy otter]

Oh Cultists not Goons

[subtle bison]

so maybe its been changed

[worthy otter]

Cultists can spawn at any time during the night cycle

[frigid flint]

theyre afraid of u

[worthy otter]

They don't just spawn at the start of the raid

[young frost]

although ive done like 7 in one night without seeing them. idk i guess thats how chance works

[subtle bison]

wait waht

[worthy otter]

So if you are just loading into Customs and running to the scav base then leaving, your chances of finding them are slim

[umbral dagger]

since 1.0 I've only seen them like twice on shoreline. Never seen them on customs

[worthy otter]

You need to hang around late into the raid if you want to find them more consistently

[subtle bison]

thats dumb

[broken gull]

will they spawn even if im close in the vicinity

[young frost]

yeaj. its most noticeable on factory where u or a team can reliably scour the whole map n then they materialize out of thin air

[wooden sinew]

what shotties can be modded to have usable MOA past like 25 meters?

[worthy otter]

I have seen them climb out of the ground in front of me when they spawn

[frigid flint]

i did not know that. ill keep that in mind for the future

[cursive abyss]

MP-153

[frigid flint]

is mp18 still classified as shotty?

[cursive abyss]

Most likely specified as a 12 gauge shotgun

[distant obsidian]

I find they have a chance once you clear the area of other ai

[subtle bison]

do they spawn in the bushes or on the road on shoreline at the village

[wooden sinew]

im tryna make my FTX functional past point blank

[cursive abyss]

They do though

They're really accurate

[wooden sinew]

but stuff like Saiga and ultima mp-155 the moa is so poop i assume i gotta use something with less moddability and ergo

[broken gull]

for sure thank u for letting me know i keep runnnig to fortress hoping they're there but no luck

[nocturne harness]

god i love when a PMC runs specifically to hide behind a bush png and shoot me

cant see shit

[wooden sinew]

PMCs have been abusing bushes since 1.0

[cursive abyss]

You didn't just use the MP-153 to begin with?

[wooden sinew]

well i was hoping i could make use out of the ultima kit but it appears shorter barrel mp-155 cant hit anything at range with slugs

[cursive abyss]

It's like twice as accurate as all the other shotguns

[subtle bison]

are there any specific spots that they spawn in the health resort on shoreline

[wooden sinew]

speaking of 12g range, does buckshot have damage/pen falloff over distance?

[subtle bison]

that i can check

[cursive abyss]

So with the FAL which barrel length do you guys prefer

[young frost]

11

[broken gull]

the shortest one, i try to make the DSA OSW

[cursive abyss]

It certainly has the least awful ergo

[marsh wing]

should i save my violet ornaments and just sell the rest to traders?

[broken gull]

make some TKPD w it then yeah i g

[marsh wing]

tree leaves in the morning

im trying to get some crafts done overnight, only 4 purple left

[urban shell]

you got one full day still

[marsh wing]

i have 1.4mil in white and red, shyska, and tangerines

[urban shell]

it leaves monday morning

[marsh wing]

i thought it was the 18th, not the 19th

[urban shell]

#eft-announcements message

[subtle bison]

fuck its day now

cultists are rare as hell

[marsh wing]

fuck im going to bed then. I was gonna set timers to wake up in the night and start a new craft

[vapid barn]

Lever action counts as bolt action right

[marsh wing]

yes the marlin counts

i have 2 crafted

[vapid barn]

Thank you

[broken gull]

welp unlucky no cultist spawn

[marsh wing]

i have 1.4mil in white and red ornaments, tangerines, and shyskas

[broken gull]

lemme get some white one plz

[marsh wing]

55 total ornaments, 4 violet, 18 red, and the rest are white

i might actually try to farm safes tomorrow to get that ballistic plates case

[broken gull]

dang shoot me some, i wanna make more lvl 6 plates lol

[marsh wing]

just farm interchange

[broken gull]

i am, i have a full 2 case of lvl 6 kiteco

[marsh wing]

use your scav when he is up, otherwise just in with PMC and a decent sized backpack. Loot the presents, grab the ornaments and dip and repeat

[broken gull]

i highly doubt i'll ever use those plates ever

[marsh wing]

i need 9 more violets for the plates case. I started using them earlier because i thought tree was leaving in the morning....

[broken gull]

lemme double check if i have some

[broken gull]

i have a total of 8 violets

i'll trade u

[marsh wing]

nah, i forgot trading isnt allowed. Rule #6

[brittle ether]

is there any kind of bug that people are running into on terminal when you have already repaired the box it still says no power when you hit the button to drain the water?

[broken gull]

ell in that case, i can give it to u for free, consider it a donation or else ima sell it

so wahtever i craft in the tree n i don't pick it up it'll dissapear?

[toxic patio]

is there no five minute grace period for radiers on labs anymore?

[past niche]

Does anyone know how to get the "!" Triangle notification to go away from Info items? I've inspected them multiple times and everytime I load up Tarkov or get out of a Raid, all my Info Items are all marked as new again

Just a little annoying to have to keep clicking the green number square to get them to go away just for them to return as "New" again

[cursive summit]

Fence can sell the tkpd apparently, nice

[broken gull]

prolly from the ppl who carried it no

[cursive summit]

I guess so idk, thought he sold guns from the ai and not the real players who also play pve

[broken gull]

fence never paid u before for selling ur stuff lol

[spiral pecan]

Not like anyone sells to fence besides recycling shit to the community anyways

[broken gull]

yeah no fence is cheap but sometimes u can find good stuff like the TKPD ig

[spiral pecan]

Cba to give a shit about cash

[sage marsh]

fence is great to get your weapon repair skill up

[earnest cliff]

is the RB-PKPM key for reserve worth it at all?

[sage marsh]

it can be

[broken gull]

i realize this then everyone on their mother buys broken weapons too

[spiral pecan]

Murk santa for his guns his are really low dura

Or take raider guns

[past niche]

How so?

[sage marsh]

i cant keep taking the rep for killing him. he needs to fuck off

[past niche]

Is it a rep hit even if you kill Santa in a PMC raid?

[spiral pecan]

Not me resisting the urge to give him a new breathing hole after dropping me a whole lotta nun

[sage marsh]

its .5 points every time i kill him

[spiral pecan]

are you above 6 rep

[sage marsh]

yea

like a 9 or something now

[past niche]

I haven't lost any rep and I kill Santa every time I see him lol

[sage marsh]

you arent above 6 rep id bet

[spiral pecan]

I didnt lose any for killing him below 6 rep but i haven’t tested it after

[sage marsh]

apparently its no loss below

[past niche]

I am certainly not

[spiral pecan]

Thats kinda fuckin stupid

[sage marsh]

which is a dumb mechanic

so until you get to 6 you wont take rep hits. then after 6 youll lose .5 every time

hopefully he fucks off in a couple days

[past niche]

I remember hearing something about the 19th I believe

[broken gull]

make sense, i was boutta say im like 3.22 so i haven't lost rep yet lol

[tender parrot]

im missing 1 minor evidence for ticket? is it too late to collect that?

[broken gull]

is salad also going away then?

[spiral pecan]

Theres 1 in terragroup corp

Oh wait no

Its cardinal

U need to click a painting above a bed which reveals the keypad to the safe which is to the left of the painting

Believe you need a black keycard for it

[subtle bison]

im fucking done with this

cultists dont spawn at all

[spiral pecan]

Will probably just stop spawning

[tender parrot]

is that major or minor evidence?

[spiral pecan]

Major

[frigid flint]

waiting in raid didnt help?

[subtle bison]

and i died to goons from a billion meters away

[spiral pecan]

Where are you looking

[subtle bison]

only tried twice

[broken gull]

lemme find out they won't let u sell it on the flea after ima be mad asf

[subtle bison]

i ran customs 10 times and shoreline twice and none spawned

[broken gull]

i been stacking it for the incoming rid of it so i can sell it decent price

[subtle bison]

thermals and nvgs

[spiral pecan]

Customs is ur best bet

Woods has the highest spawnrate but its a fucking nightmare

[frigid flint]

hes been at it for a minute

[broken gull]

for cultist? how so?

[subtle bison]

apparently they can spawn after the raid starts kind of like scavs but idk if thats true

[spiral pecan]

2 spawns in the fucking woods in pitch dark

[subtle bison]

a mod said that though

[spiral pecan]

That is a evil combo

[frigid flint]

yeah that was news to me, i didnt see anything about that on the wiki

[broken gull]

yah, i stayed till 10 minutes left in the raid nothing spawn on me

[subtle bison]

probably gonna run customs since its just one spawn point

[tender parrot]

yea im missing 1 minor for achievement

[subtle bison]

and its faster

[spiral pecan]

Oh shit mb

Idk then

Go through your handbook and see what ur missing

[spiral pecan]

Not a whole lot of places for them to roam to and a shit ton of cover

They’ll hang around stronghold but they can go to ref building and crackhouse

[cursive summit]

That's when the Christmas tree is going away so maybe

[subtle bison]

can they go behind it near new gas?

[spiral pecan]

You mean like

The gated off train track thing?

[subtle bison]

yeah

[cursive summit]

No

[spiral pecan]

Yes

Ive fought them there 3 times

[subtle bison]

hm

im gonna head to bed and try again tmrw

[cursive summit]

Done waited 12 minutes for acav run to load only to lose connection, I have not once been able to do a scav run due to how much time it takes to load, like over 10 minutes minimum

[spiral pecan]

Ghost Balaclava sells for 66k a pop in the flea.. n u can buy 5 for 7k in ragman... that's almost a 10x return lol

Ewww normal maska

[toxic patio]

i love normal maska it's so fugly

[broken gull]

those NVG looks like googly eyes

[toxic patio]

nabbed them off night pmc's

NeoSteels are also nonflea so

[broken gull]

Are those the N-15?

[toxic patio]

yep

pretty cheap for a decent pair of nods

[spiral pecan]

Imagine the pvs-31 drip 🥱

[subtle bison]

need bd gear so bad

[spiral pecan]

Guess we ball with the n-15s for now

[spiral pecan]

He gets it

[broken gull]

yeah, i just googles the NVG n we don't have access to the PVS-31?

[subtle bison]

need my larp goggles

[spiral pecan]

Nope

Spawns only on BD

[broken gull]

why tf does BSG make such sick gear n then limit them to BD

[spiral pecan]

Thats what ive been fuckin saying

[toxic patio]

BD should be the labs boss

[subtle bison]

how are there no pvs 31's in the norvinsk region

[umbral dagger]

what do you mean by bd?

[toxic patio]

BD as labs boss would make so. much. sense.

[subtle bison]

but theres gpnvgs

[spiral pecan]

Black division

[broken gull]

BD gear is by far one of the best kits they made n they limit it for them, atleast let us take some stuff w usback

[broken gull]

its overrated

[spiral pecan]

Theyre ai locked to terminal specifically

[subtle bison]

its drip

[toxic patio]

Alternate labs mode event, location is blacked out, no lights, no alarms, nothing, and every raider is BD instead.

[broken gull]

thatt sounds cancer but f it

[subtle bison]

ice breaker/end of the line might have bd

[spiral pecan]

I find it stupid that we cant extract with bd gear in the first place. Its literally end game and we get a absolute shit ton of rewards for escaping anyways

[toxic patio]

that or have an event where BD has a chance to spawn into the map, shuts all lights off, and game continues as normal

[broken gull]

ngl, i was thinking that too, maybe ice breaker we will have BD gear, cuz no way they're going to gate keep that gear forever

[spiral pecan]

Watch them do exactly that by gatekeeping it lmfao

[quick stag]

uh oh.. im at a point of no return in the story.. gonna sit here for 15 minutes now deciding the choice lol

[subtle bison]

they will probably make the black multicam a paid cosmetic sometime

[broken gull]

that'd actually be dumb asf, they have sick gas mask too, im looking at it at the wiki i'm like dammnn

[spiral pecan]

They dont spawn with it

[subtle bison]

bsg needs their moneu

money

[broken gull]

WHAT

[spiral pecan]

Yup

Left out of it for whatever dumb reason

Probably didn’t wanna make a sound or anything for it

[broken gull]

guys, ngl i really really want the LV-119 Plate carrier from them, it's soo drippy

[spiral pecan]

Now that i think about it a gas mechanic would be sick

[spiral pecan]

I want the FCPC its sexy and the pvs-31s

[subtle bison]

both the tan and black versions are drip

[broken gull]

the other one tan? it looks white in the picture

[subtle bison]

nvm the fcpc

[broken gull]

yeah, super. we can hope i'm pretty sure they'll eventually drop the gear, cuz there's really no way they won't drop it the gear are just too goood

but lemme find out we need to wipe to get it

It’s definitely something on your end

If the servers have issues this discord is mayhem

Mayhem? You mean it turns into the tarkov version of the Horus heresy?

Out of curiousity - what is defined as "loose loot" ?
if i open merins car trunk - is that considered loose loot?

[solid nebula]

Streets or labs for ammo?

[solid nebula]

Loose loot is anything not in a container

So yes Merin is loose loot

[thorn hedge]

Ait thanks

[south birch]

brother why the fuck do I have to play stupid ass arena just to progress tasks on PVE? I am so tired of playing with braindead idiots to get ONE fucking win

[worthy otter]

They are Arena tasks

Ref is the Arena trader

You don’t have to do them to progress EFT

[south birch]

yes I understand that but at least give us some sort of PVE-based system to use Ref if he's going to be in the fucking game

[worthy otter]

I disagree, he’s the Arena trader, if you want to do his tasks you should have to play Arena

[viscid shale]

anyone know how to find the goons

[sly rune]

can someone teach me how to play i just got the game

[floral plover]

also arena task sync is still fucking bugged after 3 weeks for me love it

why did my message get deleted?

[sly rune]

can someone teach me how to play i just got the game

[worthy otter]

The website you mentioned violates the rules

[floral plover]

#pve-lfg

ohhh my fault I didn't know

[south birch]

lol

[worthy otter]

Please stop typing this in every single channel, use #beginners-assistance

[worthy otter]

That’s why you were given a warning telling you why the message was removed

[agile mantle]

smh some dumbass on reddit said to do out of curiosity out of 3

now I need to spend 1mil roubles

[floral plover]

oh I see it now in dms mb I didn't think that was against rules

[wary viper]

PPBS would be the best 5.45 ammo for killa yes?

[worthy otter]

1M roubles is not a lot to regain that reputation

[floral plover]

probably anything over lvl 5 pen

[worthy otter]

It’s preferable to losing therapist reputation and being forced to find keys to regain it

[floral plover]

6 if you are going face

[agile mantle]

its a hell of a lot more expensive than other options

[floral plover]

yeah that mission sucks ass early wipe no one sells gas key

[worthy otter]

Not true, the keys required for therapist are most of the time unavailable entirely

[agile mantle]

10 M67 and 4 cheap ass keys vs 1 mil roubles

[agile mantle]

literally every key is on flea

[wary viper]

ok, so tell me how i dump a whole 30rd mag into bro's face and did absolutely nothing lmao

[floral plover]

face shield is lvl 6

[worthy otter]

Not always, and either way, 1M roubles is absolutely nothing in PVE

[floral plover]

ppbs is I think medium lvl 6 pen

[worthy otter]

You can make that in a matter of minutes by looting literally anything and selling it

[floral plover]

or you just got tarkoved

[wary viper]

sure but 30 rds should give more than enough chances to pen and kill and ppbs is 62 pen. i hate this game but god, do i freicken love this game lol

[worthy otter]

You should be aiming for his neck not his face, you can shoot him top of the head if you’re using something with more damage like 54R or .308

[agile mantle]

still lost around 800k roubles

[worthy otter]

That’s the cost of progression

[floral plover]

honestly real I think you got tarkoved

[agile mantle]

more like choose wrong get fucked

[wary viper]

real

[floral plover]

1 mill is nothing really

[agile mantle]

its still 1 million that I need to spend more time getting

[floral plover]

just sell 10 pmc guns they usually sell for 100k each or labs

[worthy otter]

You could have made 1M roubles in the time you’ve spent complaining about it

[floral plover]

like 1 labs raid can give you 3mill

it's really not bad

[agile mantle]

yeah no matter what I do I'm still down 1 million

its not like the money I lost comes back

[floral plover]

ok? still that isn't much

maybe if it was 10mill but only 1?

[worthy otter]

1M really isn’t anything

I’ve spent more than that on a single gun many times

[floral plover]

exactly like bro 😭

[worthy otter]

If you’re complaining about 1M (which is also no one’s fault but your own) then you’re really in for a terrible experience with later tasks

[agile mantle]

its not that I lost 1 million roubles and can earn it back in minutes, its that I lost 1 million roubles and now I have to spend more time getting roubles

[floral plover]

just sell 8 or 10 pmc guns simple easy 1mill or labs

[worthy otter]

Except no you don’t, just don’t do his task

If you don’t need the reputation you just saved 1M

[floral plover]

wait till he has to spend 4mill on lighthouse 😭

[wary viper]

straight up, i started out at 8mil today and got off at 3mil, but i get it back the next time i get on by hitting up the new camp by the path to river extr. on interchange and any pmcs i kill

[agile mantle]

that is a MANDATORY spend

I didn't have to spend 1 mil if I didn't pick therapist

[floral plover]

eh true I guess

[agile mantle]

and yes I do need the rep not even L4

[worthy otter]

Then pay the 1M

No point crying over it

[agile mantle]

I did and fuck skier

What’s done is done

i cant seem to find the Makarov Pm pistols for punisher part 5- anyone know where to find them , like - any bosses usually have them etc?

[subtle valve]

GM chat

[thorn hedge]

14 hours circle is quest/hideout?

[floral plover]

6 hour

[subtle valve]

Just... kill some scavs on factory? There are usually 1-2 per raid

[viscid shale]

does the 14 hours recipe matters I have been using dolls for a week and I got bullets for entire week

[floral plover]

scavs rarely have em

[thorn hedge]

that must be your raids - i have done 10 factory raids now they all have some glock

[floral plover]

14 is valuables and good ammo

[subtle valve]

Sounds like you are looting AI PMCs, not scavs. Normal scavs barely have glocks or berettas, TT or PM is standard

[thorn hedge]

nope - i loot everything cause im trying to get my search/attention maxed.

[viscid shale]

what is the difference of 14 and 12 hours returns

[subtle valve]

Try scavs on other maps if you are unlucky on factory then

[tulip mesa]

what's with some of these task related keys that can't be found anywhere, and either go for millions on the flea or aren't available anywhere?

Primorsky 46-48 Sky bridge key
Rusted Bloody key

Just to name a couple. What's going on here?

[worthy otter]

They cannot be listed in the flea market

You have to find them in their static spawn

[thorn hedge]

Wait - they removed m80's boxes from ref?

[subtle valve]

Wait - someone is buying ammo from ref? 0.o

[tulip mesa]

do those two in particular even have a static spawn?
I've heard of no one in particular being able to find Rusted Bloody key at all, for some reason

[thorn hedge]

i always buy the Ps12b and BT ammo from him

[worthy otter]

They only have static spawns

Skybridge spawns in the pub and has 100% spawn rate

[thorn hedge]

no wait thats prapor xD

[worthy otter]

Rusted bloody key spawns in the mall and is rare

[tulip mesa]

Any source/tips for those? By static you mean a place only those keys can spawn, or in general loot pool of jackets, duffels and drawers?

[worthy otter]

They can only spawn in one place

The two you mentioned

They are not marketable at all

You must find them

[tulip mesa]

Okay, I'll check the spawns

[worthy otter]

The wiki lists where they spawn

The skybridge key is always there, so you just go and pick it up

[tulip mesa]

Fair, I'll check out the pub thanks

[worthy otter]

The rusted bloody key is rare, you’ll have to check the spawn multiple times

[tulip mesa]

Nice name, you must be the Streets key master

[subtle valve]

I had 2 AI PMCs aproaching customs fort and after they killed a scav inside they turned back and went panda... This quest is so fkn stupid

I tried aggro them in panda and run away but they just camp there...

[stable oxide]

Yeah i barely see them going fortress its so annoying

Sucks cause sp-6 slaps would be great to be able to get it on reset

[subtle valve]

I tried to bait them 4 times... it's 8 minutes to raid end

They still did not push or chase me

Fuck this AI logic bsg

[shut bough]

Another bit of ai spaghetti that i fucking hate: WHY IS SANTA TIED TO ROGUE REP

[lethal garnet]

hes a usec

[shut bough]

actually the biggest piece of dogshit, "Oh, you want to do ALL of these fucking Lighthouse based quests that WANT you to go into the fucking Rogue base?? TOO BAD, BOZO, HERE'S A FUCKING BOSS THAT WILL HUNT YOU DOWN AND HEAD EYES YOU AND YOU ARE PUNISHED FOR KILLING HIM BECAUSE IT TANKS YOUR SCAV REP

In case you couldn't tell, this is pissing me off lmao

[stable oxide]

Afaik santa doesnt tank scav rep if you're under 6.0 with fence

[shut bough]

Yeah I know

the problem is

[stable oxide]

Ive killed him a few times without losing rep

[shut bough]

I am above 6 scav rep, and my big ass amount of rep is now back to under 6 because of that red hobo

[stable oxide]

💀💀💀

[subtle valve]

If you are over 6.0 fence rep then first kill is -0.50, second is -1.00. No idea how high it can go as I killed him twice as accident

[shut bough]

It caps at 1

[subtle valve]

I dropped my scav rep from 7.90 to 5.95 cuz i accidentaly killed a scav when shotting pmcs 🙂

[shut bough]

Like, listen. I am fine, with him lowering your rep. What I am NOT fine with is that he is tied to rogue rep. That is ACTUALLY bad game design

[shut bough]

pain

[worthy otter]

Just shoot him

Then he can’t hurt you anymore

[shut bough]

I know that, still doesn't solve the root of the issue, however

raah

[jovial cobalt]

only one more day right

[shut bough]

god i hope so

[worthy otter]

Not confirmed at all

[subtle valve]

Ya... hopefully santa will go with the tree

[shut bough]

i actually wanna fucking do shit at lighthouse without getting Santa Balls angy

[jovial cobalt]

thats what i was assuming if the tree is going on the 19th

[subtle valve]

My fav santa moment is when I was in lexos, killed every guard beside kaban and santa run to me when I was loading mags and that dumbass tripped a claymore killing us both

Peak get tarkov'd moment

[shut bough]

incredible

[wanton bloom]

Cultist hunting sucks… o feel like this is gonna be worse than hunting goons

[subtle valve]

Why it sucks? 25% chance, should take less than 40 raids to find them ONCE?

Yea... That was mine RNG when hunting priest for story step 🙂

Now they are like every 3rd raid... but their loot is fucking dogshit. Yesterday I killed priest twice in a row going customs -> factory -> customs and both times he was the same gearset with Machinery key... the one for the truck for early quest

[wanton bloom]

All I have left before escape is two cultist priests

[subtle valve]

You can try shoreline, there are two spots that are easy to check, but fighting them on the road to lighthouse exfil is hard

If they are on sanatorium you can easily kill them from roof

[wanton bloom]

Meh I’m just bitching… it took me 20 raids to get the goons when I needed them for kappa… customs is ideal with green flare right next to their spawn

[subtle valve]

Shoreline is just a good addition to go at night and check for them when going Labirynth

[wanton bloom]

I think the move is to hunt cultist during the lightkeeper cool down timer… rather than just hunt them and during the 3 hours game time they don’t spawn I can clean stash and sell

[wanton bloom]

I’m pretty much done with labyrinth… my squad is gonna have to do it soon so I just haven’t finished the kills and cultist knife plants yet

[past niche]

Do you get anything from completing Tour other than access to Labs?

And the achievements

[wanton bloom]

Access to labs is huge

[dusky magnet]

access to the traders and other maps

[past niche]

Agreed

I just wasn't sure if there were any other rewards other than the traders/map access gained

[wanton bloom]

You can make a fortune in labs in a handful of raids if you know what you are doing

[subtle valve]

You need it for the story anyway

[past niche]

I also don't know labs at all so, even though I know its a gold mine I don't know wtf im doing there

[worthy otter]

Story chapters don’t have rewards
Tour is guiding you through unlocking the locations and traders

[past niche]

Appreciate all the answers!

[wanton bloom]

I ran it 5 times today for breadcrumbs task and made well over 15 mil

[past niche]

I should do some research on Labs it seems lol

[subtle valve]

Next raid I spawned near reshala bunk, sprinted to fort and waiting upper floor, no PMCs at all, but shitload of scavs

[wanton bloom]

My advice is watch some guide videos. Then pull up the map on a tablet of second screen and finally put the game in practice mode and wander around

[subtle valve]

... 3 man squad of PMC were just killed by single scav with shotgun

W T F

They were going my way

[wanton bloom]

That’s Scavy Bourne

Are you doing capturing outposts?

[lilac bone]

Dude holy fuck I did my first ever labrynth run today to try and get the story chapter done and my god is labrynth hard, I got fucked by a scav dude

I hate that this has to be part of the story cause I really dont wanna do that again

[subtle valve]

One more PMC... 2/8 for the quest xD

10 more hours of fort camping and I'll be done with it

[wanton bloom]

Labyrinth is about as hard as hard can be… my advice… SA58 with a 50 rounder, full auto of M61

[subtle valve]

There are like 25 scavs killed by me already on fort

[quaint haven]

i suggest PKP with full box of SNB

[lilac bone]

I had a Mutant with Bp's and it didnt make a difference, I backed way the fuck up to stop a heavy bleed and the scav rushed me and one tapped me in the fucking arm

[wanton bloom]

Yeah you have to just camp it… they come in in the last 5-10 minutes of raid…

[subtle valve]

You can do it with AK-308 and one 24'mag of M993

[quaint haven]

Just bait them and run to a camping spot

They will rush you for most time

[lilac bone]

Yeah I was trying to do that and got fucked lmao

[wanton bloom]

Tagilla and Killa have level 6… you’ll need half a mag at that rate… and you’ll be dead before you can shoot it… also nades won’t kill the bosses

[quaint haven]

lol bad luck for you

[wanton bloom]

Do you use a safe word?

[lilac bone]

Yeah idk when Im gonna re attempt that but its not gonna be anytime soon, I still need another priest and they wont show up

Anyone know if the glitch where if you get 2/2 but then die it goes back to 0/2 is still a thing

[wanton bloom]

Yeah I’m hunting priests right now… that’s all I have left… I already turned in the 32 other docs and all the other story tasks

[lilac bone]

Ive got Batya, Priests and labrynth and thats it. I just wanna finish this game so I never have to think about it ever again

[wanton bloom]

I held off hunting cultist because of frostbite… and then I started grinding lightkeeper and the unheard tasks for fence

[lilac bone]

same

[wanton bloom]

That’s not the Tarkov way… you need to accept it that you’ll never escape

[lilac bone]

I just want a specific ending once and then Im never gonna try and do it again

maybe on of the easier ones idk, but fuck hunting cultists and going to labrynth

[wanton bloom]

The complete ending… I get it… that’s the one I’m doing…. But I’m also grinding to complete every task

I completed escort last weekend so it’s all down hill from here lol

[shut bough]

I managed upon a pretty decent supply of igolnik, its fucking awesome for shredding Minotaurgilla and Vengefull Killa

[ivory kayak]

yes....sure killa....5.45 ps goes through an altyn.....

[lilac bone]

I also wanna do every task and max out like eervy stat, I wanna do EVERYTHING but im tryna beat the story so I can maybe take a little break from the game cause im lowkey getting burnout with all the grinding I have to do cause I suck at this game

[mystic yoke]

Has anyone actually seen the goons while playing solo? I dont think ive seen them once in over 250 raids

[worthy otter]

Yes

[lilac bone]

I seen them last night customs Night raid

[wanton bloom]

Yeah my two buddies got kappa last weekend and I haven’t seen them since lol

[ivory kayak]

only when im not expecting them

[lilac bone]

I got kappa and lightkeeper for the first time and I wanna keep going but im at a point where I dont wanna do this shit lmao

[wanton bloom]

To use an old army phase we used to say… “you just have to embrace the suck”

[thorn hedge]

Seend them, clapped them , getting head eyes by them .. yea - everything

[past niche]

I've only ever seen the Goons solo

[shut bough]

ive noticed sometimes that shots WILL just go through any armor, saw this while helping a buddy get that one ragman quest done where you have to give him a fresh ghzel and a broken one, like 10% of the time it almost felt like the faster i shot, sometimes the funny plastic discs would phase right through the aramid

[wanton bloom]

I think honestly I like this game so much because the constant shitty feeling is just like the military lol

[past niche]

And it's always by Knight sprinting full force at me tanking my low level rounds as I'm tearing holes in my chair from clenching so hard

Looking like the dude from Get Out running at my ass

[median kite]

??codes

[quasi apex]

Redeem your goodies → https://www.escapefromtarkov.com/promo/activate (Or launcher → your name → activate code)
SBEUKOMAR | SCAVYBOI | GOONSQUAD | LIGHTSOUT | PAY2WIN | ELVISVISTA | ju20fu2620idfh88

[past niche]

Hasn't been a new code in a while.

[wanton bloom]

Cuz nakiita finally got kappa and hideout maxed so he stopped making codes for things he needed

[worthy otter]

Or what’s more likely is he got bored and stopped playing

[wanton bloom]

Omg I hate sorting and organizing my stash!!!

[supple island]

nikita hasnt given us codes guys tarkov is dead

[supple island]

thats why he nerfed loot 😭

[subtle valve]

Ok.. fuck capturing outposts, lets try to find last Labrys note >.>

Maybe today they will decide to spawn

[wanton bloom]

The notes or the file folders?

[subtle valve]

Folders in the center, I have 4/5 for quest and game refuses to give me last one

[wanton bloom]

I’m pretty sure 1 always spawns… it just has like 12 different spots

[subtle valve]

Trust me I checked all 12 spawns each raid and never there

[wanton bloom]

Have you tried offering your first born to satan?

[subtle valve]

Nah, she is too old to be accepted

[wanton bloom]

Finally cultist hunting time again!

[thorn hedge]

i wish the pmcs would spawn with atleast bt sometimes when they run 5.45 xD

[wanton bloom]

Sorting keys in stash is so boring

[subtle valve]

Just throw them in key box and autosort

[wanton bloom]

Elite search is so nice lol

[sage marsh]

im incredibly amused by this gucci rpd build

[subtle valve]

Search + attention 😄

[thorn token]

finally constructing solar power, thank god aesas arent that expensive compared to the power filters

[thorn hedge]

Step 1 > open sorting table, step 2 > drop all keys u have in key case(s) into sorting table by using shirt + lmb , step 3 > autosort stash , now all keys are sorted
might be a stupid way to do it , but atleast it gets the job done, and all my 3 key cases never have a ton of the same keys

[thorn token]

after beating me to the ground the past few days, tarkov was good to me today

[grizzled yoke]

man, I'm finally ready to access the terminal, I just need to find a squad to do it with

[static flax]

Yo so imma bout to reset my acc again, if I sell all my shit to fence there’s a chance yall can get it right?

[thorn token]

hit level 40, finished the worst part of network provider, started my solar power upgrade, finished a few more annoying tasks, and ended it off with an easy sanitar pier wipe

[sage marsh]

ehhh not worth trying to sell it to friends that way

[grizzled yoke]

lmk when you sell to fence so I can snipe the weapon cases

[sacred quest]

Tree gone yet?

[static flax]

My mates all just as geared so they cba doing factory runs for it

[static flax]

Do thicc cases show?

[subtle valve]

FUCK

Santa again walked through closed door and I 1tapped him

This is fuckin absurd

2nd time on sanatorium same door, same situation

[static flax]

Imma start selling ammo to him now

[grizzled yoke]

no idea

[grizzled yoke]

also that was a joke, don't feel pressured to wait for me to snipe all that

[bronze saddle]

impact grenades have NEVER betrayed me this hard in my life

i literally threw an impact onto Killa's legs and it just bounced BACK to me and almost died from my own explosive! wtf

[wild frost]

why there is no loot on streets after the steam release

like concordia, chek 15, relaxation, chek 13 were all empty or junk tier loot

[static flax]

Sold all guns and ammo to fence

[tender parrot]

has anybody found the assistants notes on group 2?

[shut bough]

relax was like, already nerfed, but all loot was nerfed for pve like twice without being in the patch notes or anything i dont think

[subtle valve]

Ok.. I killed Sanitar and all guards with one nade, then tapped santa cuz dorre phasing bullshit.. now Labirynth transit with santa bag :V

[jovial cobalt]

on group #12?

[wanton bloom]

Welp no cultists again but I got another golden TT to adorn my weapon wall

[static flax]

Welp sold everything to fence so if anyone got anything good from it enjoy

Sold saviour ending loot and shit ton of keycards

[lavish socket]

Let’s gooo

[lavish socket]

Why sell to fence at all?

[wanton bloom]

Meh… I already have over 30 of them

[static flax]

Resetting acc

[jovial cobalt]

Assistant's notes on Group #12 is in the center room in Labyrinth where the schematics and prototype parts are, under the dead scientist's body specifically his stomach on the right side, (the same scientist whom spawns with the audio cassette under his right hand)

[tender parrot]

group 2!

its the last note i need for the achievement

[jovial cobalt]

idont think group 2 exists

[tender parrot]

it 100% does!

[jovial cobalt]

lemme open my game so im not getting mislead by the internet
