[obsidian linden]

Does ricochet even trigger on non-helmets? Afaik no other armor has a Ricochet chance listed anywhere so I don't think you can ricochet off of body armor

[atomic yew]

I think that was the problem back then? All I remember was the ricochet ruined 338

and yes it would ricochet off body armor

[obsidian linden]

Also tbh the TKPD is basically like a better SWORD/AK50, it's lighter and does pretty similar damage, the only real downside to it is that the higher tier Ammo is quest locked

[atomic yew]

thats most ammo

[obsidian linden]

True but point still stands that out of all of the "Fuck you" caliber of weapons the TKPD is the only one, afaik, that has quest locked ammo

Or well, quest locked ammo and very rare in raid

[atomic yew]

eh then it would be more of an upside since .50 SLAP and 338 AP is all FIR

[obsidian linden]

I find .50 and Lapua all over the place but finding 9.3 feels very rare

[atomic yew]

its rare now but they will adjust it

when the .50 was released I couldn't find a single box of SLAP for a month at least

[obsidian linden]

Ehh kinda? AP and SLAP are notably better than FMJ/7N33 both in damage and penetration

[atomic yew]

oh u mean mid ammo is task locked meh

[obsidian linden]

So yea it's more consistent in the sense that the best ammo for the TKPD is easier to come across due to being purchasable (albeit like 30 at a time), it's also the worst by a good amount

[atomic yew]

you can purchase mid .50 and 338

[obsidian linden]

Even then both Lapua FMJ and 9.3 FMJ are pretty comparable

[obsidian linden]

Yea without a quest, atleast for the Lapua

Like without a quest the best ammo you can get for the TKPD is the SP which is limited to about 60 rounds, for Lapua you can buy both UCW and FMJ for about 100 rounds total without a quest

[marsh wing]

you guys see the post on BSG site? They are going to leave the tree up until easter

[keen night]

you got a link ?

[marsh wing]

no. I made it up

[keen night]

[obsidian linden]

I hope for the easter event we get to crucify Kaban

[mystic marsh]

:(

[hushed flax]

reminder: go max elite crafting then you can run 2 scav timers on scav casd

[verbal night]

nah, everyone is wearing bunny helmets and have pockets full of golden eggs

[thorn wadi]

i just want them to get rid of santa claus

[mystic marsh]

I hate how you're not allowed to kill scav bossesa as a scav but they on the other hand attack you freely

[verbal night]

Tagilla gets a giant easter basket for his mele

[mystic marsh]

And their guys too

[thorn wadi]

tired of having to shoot him while i'm farming lighthouse goons and losing all my rep

[obsidian linden]

Why? What's he done to you?

[mystic marsh]

Reshala just killed me for no reason

Unlucky that he spawned where the tree is

[scarlet pier]

for no reason

[mystic marsh]

Well yeah

I am a scav

he's technicallly a scav too

it makes sense

iirc he wouldn't even attack if I had max fence rep

[marble bronze]

unless you've got 6+ scav rep you're still fair game

[scarlet pier]

you discovered today that unless you have 6.0 fence rep all bosses attack scavs

[marble bronze]

even then, they'll atack if you get too clsoe

[thorn wadi]

they dont shoot any other scavs, so is it safe to assume that all the other scavs on the map have 6.0 fence rep?

[mystic marsh]

I did not discover that

[scarlet pier]

you did by dying to Reshala

[mystic marsh]

I knew that

[atomic yew]

the way I think about it

NPC scavs are part of the bosses "gang" and any scavs not apart of his "gang" get murdered i.e. all scavs below 6 karma

[mystic marsh]

it's jst unlucky that he spawned there

[scarlet pier]

then why the "for no reason"

[marble bronze]

all the other scavs aren't cosplaying as scav, they're actually scav. :p

[mystic marsh]

It's not like I was allowed to kill him

[mystic marsh]

Because I haven't done anything

[thorn wadi]

did my fake moustache give it away?!

[scarlet pier]

again, you discovered that you dont have to do anything

[marble bronze]

existing is enough

[mystic marsh]

It's sad that I am trying to loot the christmas tree

and I get killed twice

by ppl I am not allowed to kill

but who kill me

[mystic marsh]

I did not discover that

[scarlet pier]

you dont get to always do what you want to do (in Tarkov and in life)

[mystic marsh]

I knew that, it's just annoying

[mystic marsh]

How about you go fuck yourself and stop being an ass

Legit what tf is your problem

[scarlet pier]

an ass is a part of me yes, as the rest of my body

[mystic marsh]

Blocked, whatever.

Anyways, another 15 minute scav cooldown :(, let's hope I actually get this fucking ornament this time

[atomic yew]

i thought u were sick and not playing wth

[mystic marsh]

I am scavving

[atomic yew]

scav with me you poop

[mystic marsh]

No energy to actually try as a pmc

[atomic yew]

ill give u a free kit as a PMC so its the same thing as a scav

[mystic marsh]

Nah it's horrible, reshala and his guards killed me twice rn

[scarlet pier]

oh the horror

[marsh wing]

He'll get used to it, dw

haha yeah i bet

[scarlet pier]

I dont know what thats supposed to mean

[distant obsidian]

Ive noticed an uptick in warnings and mutes over the arguing.

[pseudo tulip]

sucks this place has annoying ppl, there are better tarkov servers/groups out there

[distant obsidian]

yeah, Ive taken my hint to lay off people as well. Just going to chill and help people. If they want to argue, I will just dip.

[pseudo tulip]

smart

[distant obsidian]

aint worth the risk

hard at times. Somethings trigger people so much. Like asking them to check out the wiki for an answer I dont know.

Ive decided to not enage with people to want to argue over stuff like that lol

[scarlet pier]

my bad, I didnt know that explaining the game mechanics is equivalent to arguing, but I found out the person in question was knowledgeable of the game mechanics and just venting out his frustration midway through

[distant obsidian]

Probably why you didnt get the mute. But we also cant really discuss mod decisions either. Best to leave it all be

[worthy otter]

You made the grave mistake of replying to someone when they are looking for an argument

[pseudo tulip]

i took a break from this place cause you ask "should i reset or go for escape?" and all of a sudden I have 5 illiterates attacking me at once for stuff entirely irrelevant to what i said

#screenshots message

I was able to find my last screenshot before I maxed meta

[earnest gale]

What's the lightest DMR/Bolt action ?

[atomic yew]

my bad misstook that screenie for another

[atomic yew]

I would voyage a guess at the M700 or maybe even MXLR

[torpid sapphire]

the gorno is pretty light isnt it

[atomic yew]

Oh shoot its definitely the gornostay yea

[scarlet pier]

min on an m700 is around 4kg with ammo no suppressor

[earnest gale]

Gorno ?

[atomic yew]

vpo something, its a .366 bolt action

[earnest gale]

Ok

[torpid sapphire]

gornostay or whatever

[atomic yew]

VPO-215 Gornostay

3.3kg no mods

wait MXLR is 3.075 no mods

[earnest gale]

I wanted a light DMR/BO to provide cover for my squad

My g28 is 4.6kg modded and loaded

[cosmic patrol]

[torpid sapphire]

they are both great, i think the mxlr is prob better tho

[atomic yew]

im gonna be real with ya
just use ur main rifle

only time I feel the need to bring in something with a lil more range is if I am going for 600m+ headshots on lighthouse

[hushed flax]

i need like 6 shots with mx 762x51 to kill a pmc thorax 💀

[earnest gale]

I want to play at least some 7.62x51

[atomic yew]

then run just the rsass or sr 25 as your main gun

[scarlet pier]

mxlr is too good as a side sniper... light, decent ammo, doesnt need a magazine...

[atomic yew]

throw an LPVO on it and you're set

[earnest gale]

Already the case and g28

[golden tusk]

marked rooms no longer ass maybe? first raid on reserve pulled 2 hks, 1 of those big ass smgs with the box round full of m80, 3 pistols, tiaga, MGT, MCB and some other little things from RB-VO

[pseudo tulip]

I was just running SA 58 with m700 secondary for fun, not a bad combo and you can be underweight

[golden tusk]

or i just got real lucky

[atomic yew]

then why need something with more "range" G28 is just as good

[obsidian linden]

Been running the AK-308 recently and tbh it's pretty good, cheaper to modify than most other Full Auto 7.62s, only real complaint is that it's limited to 24 in a mag

[earnest gale]

Wanted something lighter

[pseudo tulip]

how light is your total kit

[atomic yew]

ya what I am saying is just use 1 gun for both roles, dont bring in 2

[earnest gale]

To get an smg to the side

[earnest gale]

Around 24/25kg

[pseudo tulip]

oh thats not too bad at all!

[atomic yew]

bro thats light af

[earnest gale]

My pmc is weak

27 and it's overweight time

[pseudo tulip]

girl i reset recently im running ar with sniper at 9 str and underweight

[atomic yew]

yea just run the G28 and throw an LPVO on it it will work fine for close fights and long fights

[torpid sapphire]

its good to run light if you can esp in pve

no matter how strong your pmc is

[earnest gale]

I'm at 23 strenght

[torpid sapphire]

just for QOL if nothing else

[earnest gale]

But I don't know where i can lose some weight in the kit

[lilac bone]

Hey Ive got a major problem going on, to anyone that can help, me and my buddy are going for savior ending and we gathered the last piece of evidence and he was giving it to kerman, must of misclicked and now he has to pay 500m to propor. What can we do?

[drowsy juniper]

Locked into that bad ending then AFAIK

if you got to the point you have to pay prapor

[lilac bone]

But we did everything for savior? why bad ending now?

and what is AFAIK

[distant obsidian]

he miss clicked, there is no going back

[proud rapids]

As far as I know

[drowsy juniper]

No part of saviour ending has paying prapor 500 mil. so the misclick wouldve locked you into whichever ending that is

[lilac bone]

According to reddit its a glitch caused idk how we would be doing savior and then all of the sudden it just changes endings

[proud rapids]

Sadly, there's a lot of reports of that happening

One major reason is reading a major evidence in raid and then dying before extraction

[lilac bone]

that didnt happen to us luckily but he gave him the last piece of major evidence and then kerman told him to fuck off

[proud rapids]

Did you do all of the Btr driver's quests?

[lilac bone]

no, which idk if that makes a dif cause Im on savior and hes not and we did the same amount of BTR quests

[cosmic patrol]

u dont have to do them before handing in major. Nor is btr timegated

all I can say is purely missclicked something when handed in all evidence. I know mid way of handing in evidence you get tired of it and argud with kerman

[proud rapids]

I'm just troubleshooting

[cosmic patrol]

and that is prolly the place where misclick was done

[drowsy juniper]

Do you have LK? when handing in evidence, can tell Keram to fuck himself and thats how you go Debtor, But if you dont have LK As far as i know it sends you prapor way

probably what was misclicked

[proud rapids]

That takes you to a different ending, not the 500m route though

[cosmic patrol]

if u are on route of Major Evidence then u dont need LK immediately, I know I did it via Accepting to work with Kerman -> Handed in 7/8 evidence -> did Batya for 8th and went on. I think he didnt have LK yeah and just fucked Kerman over then

I didnt have LK for all of the 7 evidene

[lilac bone]

Idk but now he has to pay propor 500m and this game fucking sucks

thanks guys

[cosmic patrol]

so, basically yeah, Delta may be correct. Not having LK -> arguing with Kerman -> Prapor ending. Having LK-> Arguing with Kermit -> LK route? I would think it also takes into account if you gave Prapor case or not? since he gets if u dont give him case

[devout nest]

Anyone done savior able to confirm something? After the 5 PMC kills on Interchange/Shoreline with 0 scav kills you get the hashcodes from fence. Once I have the hashcodes am I free to kill scavs again? Or will I lose rep until I finish the entire story?

[wild frost]

how good is the rng on cultists in 1.0? like knives or the factory keycard spawn

[devout nest]

Knives very common, I've only found trash keys kills on like 12ish cultist kills

[wild frost]

I realized i have to kill them twice for an achievement

[prime trellis]

huh?

[wild frost]

also stupid fir knive task

[prime trellis]

did they extend the tree or something?

[devout nest]

And a third time if you do broadcast part 5 at a different time

[wild frost]

no card?

[devout nest]

I've found and killed all cultists on 3 encounters. I have 11 cultist knives, but the only keys/cards I've found were random dorm keys

[prime trellis]

the tree was supposed to be gone this morning, what happened?

[devout nest]

Yeah it's still hanging out, take advantage while you can

[wild frost]

how good is their spawn rng, in 0.16 it took me hours just to kill twice

[cursive bloom]

is there a reason why i can't do practice coop in pve?

[wild frost]

its only in pvp

[devout nest]

I hae no proof of their spawn rates. But I did 25+ customs night raids and saw nothing, someone mentioned to do BSG server raids and then I found them twice in three raids

[cursive bloom]

goofy on bsg's part idk why they didn't make it both lol

[wild frost]

i haven't faced rng bosses like even once, prob i was playing on local instead of BSG

I will suffer from finding stray dogs

[devout nest]

rng is rng, but I've had infinitely better luck finding cultists doing online raids.

[wild frost]

goons better on online or local

[devout nest]

I've found normal bosses goons included much more common on local raids but again rng is rng

[jovial cobalt]

supposedly they spawn the same rate

on local and on bsg SHOULD be the same but i can definitely see it just not working as intended bc tarkov

[wild frost]

idk i was asking because sometimes i feel theres even few ai pmc spawn in local games

how am i gonna farm return the favor

[jovial cobalt]

its cus in local when ai pmcs spawn just stand there and do nothing

[devout nest]

It wasn't this way pre 1.0 I thought at once point it was 100% local and less online, no idea what the general thought is with 1.0 tho

How do you guys deal with BD? First attempt I died to the final 4th BD member at the MS building, because he just kept lasering me and I couldn't really repeek him, and the 2nd attempt ended in me getting prefired one tapped.

People recommend sitting at the exit of the armory to deal with the first 8 members, but both my attempts they'd start prefiring my position, it's just that the 2nd time I got unlucky and got nailed by them.

Good tip, thanks, none of the guides I viewed have mentioned this. What was the gun you were using? I tried using an M4, but without a silencer it's just impossible to see anything in front of you, and with a silencer I am afraid it'll malfunction on me at the most important moment. Thinking about using SR 25 with a 50 bullet mag for my 3rd attempt.

[spiral pecan]

i ran a ak-308 with m993, probably not a good idea because the 308 needs a suppressor for good stats and is capped at 24 round mags

[keen night]

cuz he doesnt aggro you on sound alone

i wouldn't use single fire. might get you fucked if you panic or don't spam quick enough

I know it might be obvious, but have you tried using grenades? He has a tendency to run towards the explosions iirc

yep

i grenade all 3 main stores and in the centre of the mall

[obsidian linden]

Why is he sometimes Santa and sometimes Ded Moroz?

I understand that IRL they're two different figures, one blue and one red, but in game they're the exact same outside of the name when you kill/get killed

[upbeat pewter]

cuz this winter event sucked, they didnt put alot of time into it cuz 1,0 so this is what we got

[obsidian linden]

Was the last one any different? Don't really know what they could've done for a Christmas event

[upbeat pewter]

i honestly dont recall seeing either of them in the last winter event but the last one was really cool and involved a super in depth badass questline that we did not get this year

[umbral dagger]

I didnt mind a guy running around the map giving me chocolate. I wish people would throw chocolate at me in real life

[distant obsidian]

The christmas event was the same as last year

your talking about the winter event

they are different

[upbeat pewter]

was that not the transition event? pretty sure that was christmas

[distant obsidian]

winter

they are two different events

khorovond was the winter event

[upbeat pewter]

well i guess i stand corrected

[distant obsidian]

frostbite and wave defense on tansit maps yes

[upbeat pewter]

but if thats the case the Christmas events are dumb and the should stop doing them if they arent gonna be cool in my opinion

[distant obsidian]

not everyone celebrates Christmas the same or at all. So its a small thing while the winter even is generally the main one

we are stil lwaiting for the real winter event in a way. Which is icebreaker

this frostbite event was just a mini time filler to prep for icebreaker

its also why we get santa and ded moroz in game.

[obsidian linden]

They should do a Kwanza event

[rare field]

theres not really a difference between the two, Ded Moroz is basicly the Russian version of ''Santa''

[distant obsidian]

The slavic Saint Nic yes

[upbeat pewter]

Dumb version of santa got it

[obsidian linden]

Yea Ik that but I wasn't sure if there was any difference in game, since I just now noticed that there are two different entities

[distant obsidian]

jesus fuck dude

put the racism away please.

[upbeat pewter]

racism?

[pseudo tulip]

go to interchange they said, you'll find drills they said. this my inv after 7 interchanges b2b (nvm the bag forgor mine this time) #screenshots message

tbf i have found one in the 7 raids so far

[distant obsidian]

I usually find a drill in one of the tech shops or the smuggler camp

[pseudo tulip]

ive been going smugglers sometimes, every time idea, upstairs tech, downstairs 2 tech stores, and all of oli and its backside

[distant obsidian]

o yeah thats not allowed

thats boosting. Not allowed on this discord

[twin stirrup]

is it not

fuck alr

i deleted it

[distant obsidian]

yeah, mods generally take a hard stance on that stuff. Just letting you know

[twin stirrup]

ya i was just stupid and bought it off flea thinking I would profit only to realize nobody is gonna buy it

[distant obsidian]

o yeah no one will buy that

[twin stirrup]

yup y do u think i came here lol

[agile mantle]

buy what

[twin stirrup]

the fuel from last years christmas event

[agile mantle]

oh

[distant obsidian]

hes trying to sell the fuel cans from last winter event

[agile mantle]

lol I did that before 1.0, had one fuel just in my junk case

[twin stirrup]

u want another 1

[tender parrot]

sorry, this mad me laugh. but hey, at least you had a cat for emotional support 🤣

[umbral dagger]

I laughed too, no worries.
I'm a little salty about losing my rem 700 30s into the first raid of the day but it was still funny af

[molten wren]

Was there any tweet or something about delay of the event ending?

[umbral dagger]

death by cat is frequent when I play tarkov

[astral kindle]

Nope

[agile mantle]

how much did you buy it for

[twin stirrup]

2 mil

[umbral dagger]

ouch

[twin stirrup]

im selling it for 3 now

and theres 16 so yk...

[agile mantle]

oh lmao thats you on the flea market

[umbral dagger]

Ah, Eve Online scams in Tarkov. Love it ❤️

[twin stirrup]

yes

[pseudo tulip]

a spreadsheet simulator mentioned here?

[distant obsidian]

I gave that game 2 tries with friends. Nope

[quartz thicket]

if only it wasnt so hard up in the P2W

[distant obsidian]

that to

[pseudo tulip]

anyone remember the ps3 game for eve?

[quartz thicket]

You wanna multibox? give us money $_$

[umbral dagger]

DUST! I loved that game

[pseudo tulip]

holy moly someone knows

[umbral dagger]

I played it so fuckin much

[pseudo tulip]

it was such a cool concept

[umbral dagger]

Brave Newbies didnt have a corp, so I played with Eve University. Lots of good times

I played EVERY day for the last 3 months servers were still up, hoping against hope that they'd keep em up

[pseudo tulip]

they say the good things never last, but we should be grateful to have gotten an oppurtunity to enjoy it

for real tho i wish it lived forever

[restive wedge]

anyone got any idea when the snow is gone

[quartz thicket]

4 more months

[umbral dagger]

agreed. I hope someday someone brings at least the core gameplay back, I loved the future battlefield2-like gameplay with asymmetric loadouts

[distant obsidian]

1 more year added everytime people ask

[pseudo tulip]

talking about dead games, rest in peace battlefield heros..

[distant obsidian]

currently at about 3046 years left

well 3047 now

[umbral dagger]

DONT REMOVE SNOW! I love the snow! Makes me miss hiking on fresh snow.

[distant obsidian]

snow is good

tarkov with snow is best tarkov

I love being able to see

[umbral dagger]

I live in a desert now, I havent seen real snow in a decade

[pseudo tulip]

tarkov snow made me lazy at spotting targets, gonna get fricked once its gone

[distant obsidian]

lol

[umbral dagger]

Snow Tarkov lets me reminisce on my innawoods days

[pseudo tulip]

it reminds me of what i see when i look outside

[quartz thicket]

fuck the snolice

[umbral dagger]

Slavs With Attitude

[copper yew]

Trying to do Trouble in the Big City, why am I getting completely PMC-less maps?

[quartz thicket]

Because nikita hates you

[copper yew]

true

[pseudo tulip]

the algorithim understands that you are on the quest and for a bit, reduces the spawns so the dopamine hits harder when you find it

[copper yew]

I hate it.

[pseudo tulip]

we allow nikita to play cbt with our brains with this game being the conduit

[quartz thicket]

i was looking for fire steel under the tree for two god damn weeks

found 800 pairs of johnnybs

[toxic patio]

Al I insane for liking the snow

[umbral dagger]

The streets boss and his guards, where is the automatic grenade launcher mounted? I need to put a strobe on the LAV to the southwest of the boss spawn, and I cant see the grenade launcher to see if the LAV is in the field of fire

[toxic patio]

I’m hard of sight so it makes the game easier for me to see

[quartz thicket]

toward the intersection headed toward post office iirc

[young frost]

you mean the apc looking thing ? its def in the los

the launcher itself is on top of a container in the dealership

[woeful ravine]

Is frostbite still a thing now?

[marsh wing]

the USP .45 pistol is goated, ngl

[marsh wing]

no that was removed like 2 weeks ago

[woeful ravine]

Damn I never noticed

[marsh wing]

it made it damn near impossible for me to play. I tried playing the first day i got the game and frostbite was just screwing me over. They removed it the next day lol

[woeful ravine]

lol, I hated not being able to wear class 4 helmets

[quartz thicket]

isn't penis helmet on ragman 1? that blocked frostbite

[woeful ravine]

yeah

[marsh wing]

well thats the thing. It was my first day playing. I had no idea how to combat it

[quartz thicket]

understandable

Tarkov isn't a jump in and find out game

[marsh wing]

and i was nowhere near good enough to just run straight into the nearest building and hope i can survive the fight

[umbral dagger]

thank you, that helped me dial in my route

[quartz thicket]

In a week you'll be wondering how you were dying to scavs so much

[narrow eagle]

damn strength is so slow to level 🙁

[static radish]

Shadow of tagilla kills you in 1 hit how the fuck are you people able to do anything in labyrinth

[quartz thicket]

Shoot him in the face

[worthy otter]

Shoot him before he hits you

[quartz thicket]

I'm literally omw to labyr rn

[static radish]

He eats everything I shoot him with

[quartz thicket]

you need 60 pen

[worthy otter]

Stop shooting him with green tracer then

[static radish]

What gun shoots that ?

[woeful ravine]

you need slap rounds

[static radish]

What gun do yall use ?

[quartz thicket]

ak-308 im 2/2

[umbral dagger]

just start every raid slightly overweight, you'll level strength in no time. Downside is that endurance doesnt level then, and you can end up fucking yourself over by having 30 strength and 6 endurance, like I did lol

[rare field]

NL - BS Ammo

[umbral dagger]

so I cant sprint very far

[woeful ravine]

I use the MDR 308

[quartz thicket]

tagilla and killa get 2 tapped

[static radish]

So either ak or mdr 308s ok

[quartz thicket]

Anything high caliber, automatic, and pen over 58

i brought a rocket launcher to kill sanitar with

[static radish]

What ammo over 58 pen can you buy on flee?

[quartz thicket]

You cant

[static radish]

Well wtf

[quartz thicket]

Gotta farm it yoself, i usually run labs

[empty bronze]

why cant u play some maps on bsg

serv

like factory and wood

[static radish]

Can you 1 tap him with an rpg?

[quartz thicket]

cause bsg wanted to save resources, they figure the maps are small enough to run on most computers so fuck you, you host it

[empty bronze]

pretty homosexual

[quartz thicket]

i dunno first time unlocking it

i tried getting reshala but they ran outta dorms as soon as i pulled it out lol

[dull basalt]

yall how do you farm scav rep?

[distant obsidian]

hes imm8une to explosives

you have to use good ammo and kill him.

[quartz thicket]

sanitar, not labyr

[distant obsidian]

hes a skill check.

o sani lol

just shoot his face

[quartz thicket]

But i wanna blow him the fuck up

[distant obsidian]

o you

yeah go for it. Your not a skill issue so

[quartz thicket]

Sanitar and his buddies make my butthole pucker a lil still but i got the 15 kills

[pseudo tulip]

bye bye

[distant obsidian]

i mean you haveto git gud and use good ammo

[pseudo tulip]

i saw chekannaya hit him with an sv98 with ps ammo from sniper rock

[static radish]

Farm ammo on labs ?

[distant obsidian]

farm and craft

[quartz thicket]

Res Unit, Red Card, and Weapons testing

[distant obsidian]

do your tasks and unlock good ammo

[quartz thicket]

muted for exploits i guess?

[young frost]

hes immune to explosives

[finite tide]

so the event is here to stay?

[distant obsidian]

yep

[rare field]

Surely icebreaker today

[upbeat pewter]

of course now that i have stray dogs i cant find the goons to save my fuycking life

[distant obsidian]

[rare field]

Goons 2 hours ago customs

4 hours ago aswell when i first encountered

might have moved somewhere else dunno

[upbeat pewter]

yeah i was kkilling the shit out of them while hunting cultist. said screw it im gonna go do the quest to unlock stray dogs. did that and now i havent seen the goons since 5pm pst

[rare field]

Surely christmass tree gone in 4 hours

[distant obsidian]

[rare field]

Maybe BSG mistaken the date

[distant obsidian]

probably lol

[rare field]

Maybe Nikita abandoned the game to focus on the other one he tweeted

[distant obsidian]

defiantly did. And some people might even believe that LOL

[narrow eagle]

yeah I do that and I barely get any strength xp even though I run around alot, I'm at lvl 37 1/2 and I'm like 5 points from lvl 17 strength :/

[distant obsidian]

someone doesnt have an upgraded hideout

[rare field]

or a gym

[distant obsidian]

or an air filter

[narrow eagle]

oh I just realized I forgot to reply to the person who replied to me

[distant obsidian]

or a trophy case

gota get that hideout going

[narrow eagle]

I have the air filtering unit but the filters themselves are too expensive 680k for a full one or something ridiculous

[distant obsidian]

put it in, run it until your done with your raids, take it out\

lasts like 20 hours

[rare field]

eh you make that back in a raid or 2

[narrow eagle]

yeah I'd have to remember to take it out and I know my ass will forget

[distant obsidian]

i mean they are cheap even then

[narrow eagle]

eh depends what you're able to loot

[sick isle]

Can someone tell me why the christmas tree is still ingame?

[glass sand]

anyone seens the goons

[astral kindle]

They forgor

[sick isle]

lol

[agile mantle]

saw goons in woods, never in customs

[sick isle]

Well atleast i used all my christmas stuff yesterday

[finite tide]

nikita got black out drunk and forgot to hit the button

[sick isle]

I have killed them all the time on customs while not even looking for them xD

[sick isle]

Couldnt he atleast have hitted the button so i could bring my thicc case into raid xD

[narrow eagle]

my combat bonus for hall of fame is 8.418% what should it be at?

[quartz thicket]

[narrow eagle]

sorry i'm raiding rn maybe someone else can help you

[median kite]

alr, bcs idk what i can sell and what shouldnt i

[worthy otter]

The wiki will display everything about an item

It will tell you how many are needed for quests and hideout and even useful barters

[median kite]

do i just search wiki? or what

sorry

[marsh wing]

GUESS WHO'S GETTING THEIR THETA BABY

[rare field]

Remove Theta from the game

[marsh wing]

Honestly, it was super easy to get

I spread it out over a few days because im lazy and adhd, but if i wanted, i could have done it all in 1 day, if not that, then the 3 days of trial arena

[dull basalt]

i just learn about theta too late

so i missed the 3 trial thingy

[median kite]

Where can i find military power filters??

[rare field]

Woods bunker pwetty common

[marsh wing]

i enjoy Arena enough that i went ahead and bought it

[rare field]

Yeh to slow check i saw you typing

[dull basalt]

when they refused to transfer my account to latam region i decided to never give them money again unfortunately

[marsh wing]

now i have 10 slots instead of 4 :)

[marsh wing]

damn. That sucks

[dull basalt]

the only reason im playing pve is because a friend gave it to me as a gift so yeah

[sharp obsidian]

Why does that matter? Pricing is the same everywhere in theory

[dull basalt]

it isn't

new account + pve costed my friend like 25$

[sage sandal]

ahh is it worth 9m rubles to finish wet job part 6 to craft m80a1 when i dont have revision lighthouse done? damn me picking bear for drip i would have it done by now 😢

should i do revision lighthouse first?

[glass sand]

mfw i pop sj1 sj6 and an l1 and suddenly my pmc doesnt know what food or water are

[sharp obsidian]

Was it during sales tho…..?

[glass sand]

I spawn in a woods raid and the goons were on top of me, they didnt even get a shot off :)))

[dull basalt]

uh i think not

regional pricing

[sharp obsidian]

Also new account + pve doesnt make sense. Cuz it dont cost money to make an account

[dull basalt]

i meant standard edition

[marble dome]

Been a year since I was able to play, finally playing. Battleeye still sometimes messes up on launching but when the game does launch. No issues.

did they change the scav army? Normally when you fired an unsurpressed shot you’d get swarmed by scavs, I haven’t seen a single scav even after killing a usec and 2 bear in interchange

[slender wolf]

if only

[sharp obsidian]

Interesting. So bsg does lower prices depending where you from

[slender wolf]

*steam

BSG do NOT lower prices for region

[sharp obsidian]

No. Bsg. Im buying on Eft site

[slender wolf]

just check bsg site its WAY more expensive than steam for me

[worthy otter]

Yes they do

[dull basalt]

they do tho?

[slender wolf]

what

[dull basalt]

both on steam and on their website

[sharp obsidian]

« Buying as a gift for latam region » 27$ usd »
« Buying as a gift in other region » 62 USD$

[slender wolf]

wait did they change prices of standard edition before and after release

[dull basalt]

no i think its still the same price for the rest of the world

[worthy otter]

No it’s not

[slender wolf]

well i remember paying nearly 50 bucks for standard or smth

while on steam its a fraction of that

[worthy otter]

Europe, USA, LATAM and CIS all have different pricing models

Steam has their own regional pricing model

[slender wolf]

oh yeah

that might be why

steam is for each country

bsg is only for regions

i think

thats what i understand from all this

[sage sandal]

yes thats gone

infinite scav spawn swarm is also gone

[quartz thicket]

i miss infinite scavs

[sage sandal]

still a lot of scavs but you cant do 50 in one raid just sitting in the middle of interhcange anymore

me too, good exp and fun

[quartz thicket]

Factory with a new scav every 5 seconds

[sage sandal]

they also decimated the ai pmcs so if you were scav running free loot

[trail sail]

I remember that last year

I think scavs scale with the number of people in your squad ?

I ran a 3 man once and there was hella vs on solo

[marble dome]

Ah. For me that’s actually good,
the scav army made adrenaline go up but traversing the map was a pain.
Running out of ammo after killing 30 scavs while I’m a shit player really wasn’t great to play.

[sage sandal]

it tbh was a blast, when pve first hit i had a customs raid where a TEN STACK of usec pmcs were just running into the wall at the end of zb011

[trail sail]

Did you experience the halloween zombie event

[sage sandal]

yea it is good, it feels more like... not completely stupid haha, i think pve is pretty well balanced rn

theres some things id personally like changed but its way better than before

[marble dome]

No wasn’t able to play since last Xmas due to battleye blue screening my pc

Now that I know scav army is gone I can play less paranoid,

Killing a usec and 2 bear and not taking the time to loot yesterday felt really annoying

[marsh wing]

when did they get rid of scav army?

i know yesterday i killed a scav and then had to fight off at least 10 more on GZ before finding any PMC's

[sage sandal]

thats normal gz

[true quail]

Is the Xmas tree done now? And when do fireworks stop working if anyone knows?

[marsh wing]

Tree is still up

fireworks are supposed to stop working when tree is gone

[true quail]

Ah gotcha thought the 19th is when they were gone

[sage sandal]

there is still a lot of scavs compared to pvp but first you arent sharing them with 12 other people and second the scav army spawn before was HUNDREDS and they spawned like every 5 seconds in groups, you could go in with 500 rounds and headshot every single one and run out of ammo. this is way tuned down

[wanton bloom]

Cultist hunting for those last two knives

I seem to get them once every 10 raids

honestly with their marked key drops and ammo they are worth the time... And I'm also stuck on cool down with last task for lightkeeper and Ticket

[pseudo tulip]

i wish the cultists had a small chance to have small photographs of birds in their pockets

[supple island]

bro thinks they are bird watching hes going to get stabbed by a fent needle

[wanton bloom]

welp, raid one and no cultists

almost shot santa in the face... for like the 10th time

[pseudo tulip]

end him every time for trolling audio

[half spindle]

WHEN IS THE SNOW GOING AWAY OMG

[wanton bloom]

next year they need to make it so if you kill santa it Spawns a "shadow of Partizan" type Boss called Krampus with the horns, bag, chains etc... that would be epic

[half spindle]

first i was told the 8th, then it got pushed to the 12, then the 18th

[jovial wadi]

spring

[wanton bloom]

just have Krampus straight up hunting you down

[half spindle]

i am so done with this snow taking 30fps off my counter

[half spindle]

that would actually

[wanton bloom]

hey on the positive... the snow helps you hear bosses like cultists and birdeye

[pseudo tulip]

partizan skin

[half spindle]

make him huge physically with a ton of hp, and use a melee that does like 1 damage but makes you heavy bleed on multiple limbs, as well as applying the cultist poison

[wanton bloom]

Raid #2 looking for cultists... I wants dem

[jovial wadi]

the devs could also add drones that explode after they fly into you

[half spindle]

i found cultists my first run, but after i saw the pinky toe of one and he stood up and one shot me from 120 meters away

i decided coat farming on factory was a better idea

[wanton bloom]

I've slaughtered them multiple times to finish the story line task to kill two priests... I just need two more knives to finish the skier task

that took like 20 raids and half a day lol

[warped cosmos]

I love hunting cultists

[sage bridge]

isnt factory the lowest cultist spawn chance map

[half spindle]

coat farming

jackets

[sage bridge]

huh wah

[half spindle]

theres 11 coats on factory, all kinda in a line so you can path and get all 11 in like 7 minutes and extract or transit, then come back

keys spawn in coat pockets

[sage bridge]

aight i just thought there was a discussion about cultists

[half spindle]

only reason 90% of people try killing cultists is for keys, the 10% is when people gotta do the quests for it

[celest otter]

How to deal with map bosess ? I am struggling and always get killed by Killa or Tagila, I can only kill Reshala. I am level 18..... the boss fight is really hard for me. Can someone give some advice? Thank you

[sage bridge]

get good ammo and always fight them around corners while theyre running towards you

[half spindle]

depends on the boss mostly, but for killa and tagila, you can just magdump their legs with a kedyr

[sage bridge]

its kolontay and kaban that have a different approach with nades but youll get to them later

[half spindle]

kaban is just because of the fort that hes in tho

you need to get his goons off the mounted lmgs or they will obliterate you

[celest otter]

Thanks for advice. I really appreciate it. Most of the time I just hear them scream and next second I am " Head , eyes "

[obsidian linden]

Blue Blood vs Zagustin, which do you guys use?

From what I understand Blue Blood is good cause it gives passive health regen but doesn't last nearly as long as Zagustin so isn't necessarily going to be as good in extended fights

[vapid barn]

If I save a gun build and name it, does that name show up for others?

[obsidian linden]

I don't believe so no

[half spindle]

do you have a map open? look at the boss spawns and just be careful when you enter their teritory, if you hear footsteps try to keep a wall or large object between you and them. my go to is the kedyr, it has 900 rpm, cheap gun, and theres some really high HP damage 9x19mm ammo that shreds them

taguila is VERY loud, he grunts and groans as he moves around

[vapid barn]

Dang lol.

[vapid barn]

It’s all the meth

[hazy gorge]

I kill them because i hate those mfs

[half spindle]

lmao

[hazy gorge]

Its about sending a message

[celest otter]

Oh, I actually dont have a map open, I didnt know bosses have "known" spawns. I thought they could spawn randomly anywhere. Thank you.

[wanton bloom]

raid #2 and no cultists... Making these runs quick lol

[meager coyote]

Gonna take a hell of a lot more than 2 raids

[obsidian linden]

Yea it'd be too much work, especially the moderation it'd require

[half spindle]

yeah bosses have set spawns, they will have like 2-4 different spawns per map but still

also, its the same bosses per map

[hazy gorge]

And i do love hunting kaban

The fat man

[half spindle]

you wont find kaban on interchange, or gulkhar on shoreline for example

[obsidian linden]

Speaking of Kaban I'm getting to a point where my refusal to visit Streets or Lighthouse is stopping my progress, which means I need to actually try to learn those hellish maps

[vapid barn]

Yeah I named the build for the shadow screenshot I posted uhh something interesting lol. I don’t wanna say it and break any rules

[hazy gorge]

Imagine gluki on shoreline

[wanton bloom]

3500 hours and a 70+ KD and 90% survival rate... I'm aware... theres pretty much nothing in this game i dont already know

[half spindle]

i dont actually mind lighthouse, only reason i hate streets is because i get 20fps on there

[meager coyote]

Lighthouse sucks balls, but streets is a swag map, its just overshadowed by terrible optimization so it doesn't work

[celest otter]

Thank you. Gonna make some coffee and use the map on other screen.

[obsidian linden]

Would be cool if we had some more roaming type bosses tho, atm we just have Goons and Partisan but Partisan is pretty rare to encounter seeing as he either doesn't spawn or just gets killed before you see him

[half spindle]

i gotta post this clip one sec lol, homie crossed the entire map to kill me after i accidentally put a toe in his teritory at the start of the raid

[hazy gorge]

Lol

[wanton bloom]

Going into raid #3 ... Come on cultists!!!

[half spindle]

#videos message

[hazy gorge]

I think the most fun to fight boss is kaban to me

[obsidian linden]

Yea I will say that Streets hasn't been horrible to me, it's just alot harder to learn for me than maps like woods, which is odd cause you'd think having nothing but trees around you would be more confusing than having actual named streets

[half spindle]

i thought a gang of random pmc's or raiders ran up on me

then i realized it was the boss squad when i saw the elf hats

[obsidian linden]

Lighthouse however is fucking awful and everytime I go there I get fucked up by some bullshit 100+ meters away, half the time it's a Rogue on a mounted MG or a scav who's able to full auto his AK very accurately from 120m

[half spindle]

man you know what would be funny, an imortal boss who only uses a blicky

[wanton bloom]

I think Glueskick is my favorite... not the cheap way of sniping him... up close and personal... fighting his whole squad as they move assault and flank. Hes in my opinion the best all around boss fight

[obsidian linden]

Glukhar is pretty fun, my only complaint is when he's by the helicopter and his squad ends up aggroing into different directions before you get there. One time I thought I killed all of his guards and him only for one of them to be in that Cafeteria building and hop on the mounted MG

[frigid flint]

big pipe when you cant get a headshot lmao

[quartz thicket]

Add a guaranteed blicky spawn to each map, and if he spawns thats the only way to kill him

[half spindle]

just the thought of a dude running up to 3 feet in front of you, squatting down and shooting you with infinite blicky rounds

[half spindle]

lol and make him drop a golden blicky

[quartz thicket]

Give him unique blicky ammo thats a razor disk that bleeds you

[half spindle]

lmaooo

[meager coyote]

Dude, arena mode where its only blicky

Nerf fight

[half spindle]

nah random, some razer, some lead(pain and concussed), some poison

[orchid crest]

I wonder why we can put pants on our mannequin but not shirts?

[quartz thicket]

obdolbos discs, chance to do each and every status effect

[wanton bloom]

raid #3 in the books... still no cultists... #4 here we go

[wanton bloom]

I didn't spend all the time in the gym not to show off

[obsidian linden]

Ngl would be cool if they made it so fences stuff was all FIR, I'd be willing to pay like double his already BS high prices if it meant I could nab a certain quest or hideout item I haven't been able to find

Just something to make him actually worth looking at beyond the extreme early wipe when you can't get decent ammo from anyone yet

[wanton bloom]

I hate Fence's quests.. the last real challenge I have before escape is to get 5 PMC kilss on interchange and Shoreline in a single raid without killing a scav... Thats so stupid annoying

[obsidian linden]

Yea even more of a reason to make his shit FIR, he comes out of nowhere, gives insanely annoying quests, and offers you next to nothing for it

[wanton bloom]

I'm nearly level 55 and I still run green tips all the time... doesn't matter if you shoot them in the face

[half spindle]

im only level 22, ts is so painful

[obsidian linden]

Fair, I myself don't run the best ammo available and tend to run anything with around level 4-5 on class 4 armor according to the ammo chart

[atomic yew]

Until you run into glukars guard with a rhys t and you make him visit a metal concert

[obsidian linden]

Like for instance BT or 7N40, anything with more pen and you're just kinda wasting flesh damage on armor that 9/10 enemies don't have

[pseudo tulip]

7n40 goated

[pseudo hare]

you really only need "decent" ammo in pve, and the really good stuff only for labyrinth or terminal

[obsidian linden]

M855 should be able to pen the mask at the very least, if not the helmet itself. Could be wrong but pretty sure it's only class 3 High

[atomic yew]

ur wrong

[hazy gorge]

That's very wrong

[obsidian linden]

Yea was mixing up the Rhys with the Zhs ones

[atomic yew]

nbd

[quartz thicket]

vbd

[obsidian linden]

Do those Glass Slit helmets still have to deal with Vasoline Vision or is that only for pure glass maskes?

Ones like the Altyn and Rhys

[pseudo hare]

no

[thorn token]

just found chek 13 in a jacket at heps lol

[sharp obsidian]

Rhys i didnt notice anything like that, altyn would be way too « unfair » as you almost see nothing anyway

[toxic patio]

how the hell am i supposed to get back to the oil barrels in the moutain stash for blood of war pt 3?

i try going over and it seems that there's a fucking killbox

[cold panther]

Not sure if you knew, but you can transit back and forth, and it'll still count as the same raid

[wanton bloom]

run #4 was the ticket... got all 5 cultists without taking a scratch... my two last knives and a ton of top level ammo

Took me forever to find the priest

[quartz thicket]

I started this quest on shoreline on accident lmao

[thorn token]

transit to lighthouse

and then back to shoreline

rinse and repeat

[wanton bloom]

now I just need to kill them with the double barrel next and all cultist crap is done

[thorn token]

honestly sounds like an annoying ass task

[wanton bloom]

lol I think nikita called it "hell on earth" for that very reason

[quartz thicket]

Its a Doom reference

[thorn token]

i just assumed that was because its a doom ref

[wanton bloom]

I know... it was a double ended joke... I played Doom when it first came out

[thorn token]

you use a double barrel shotgun, the task before you has you mod a double barrel to look like doomguys super shotgun

[quartz thicket]

man did i hate keyboard aiming

[thorn token]

oh you're a doom fan? name every demon in all the games

[wanton bloom]

whats really a mind break is trying to play goldeneye again... the controls are insane to what we use now

[thorn token]

including the remasters

[atomic yew]

thats a special flavor

[wicked imp]

will bsg be fixing the snowball achievement any time soon? id like my usec predator

[wanton bloom]

didn't say I'm a fan... I said I played it when it originally came out... Same with NES

[quartz thicket]

my hands were the perfect size for the snes when it came out, but now my hands are too big to do the moves i used to do lol

[thorn token]

ngl it was a mind break for me when i played the original doom games and i realized i didnt have to aim up to kill demons above me

[wanton bloom]

Like Medal of Honor.. I tried playing it again because I have all my old consoles and it was like learning to walk again... But I can still beat Jaws on NES in about 15 minutes so ya boy's still got it lol

Okay... hoping now theres been enough time since I turned in my task to Lightkeeper so I can start on the last one to unlock my precious Spear and Hybrid... I miss my boy so much

[agile mantle]

where can I find electric drills

[short breach]

interchange new territory

[wanton bloom]

Tool Boxes Gym bags and technical crates.... My advice is reserve... theres a tech crate by helio and Black pawn tons of tool boxes and bags there as well and then if you go down into bunker there is another crate by the D2 ramp to extract in map room... Reserve is the map for all your hideout needs

[wanton bloom]

Back Back B... "Get Over here!" lol

[rancid tundra]

The worst ending is the most expensive ending? 40 bitcoins, 1mil dollars, 50 military items, secure container and 40 full weapon of armor repair kit

[wanton bloom]

that sounds horrible

I'm on track for the good ending... just need the 5 PMC kills on the two maps then make the keys and escape

[rancid tundra]

Seems like survivor ending with 500mil grind is

[agile mantle]

I've gone there like 10 times already, never seen a drill

[rancid tundra]

Ah yes Worst ending requires craft the keys too

[wanton bloom]

Am I a bad person for Sacrificing all the guns I just took off the cultist I just killed back to the cultists... I did repair them for them

[trim kettle]

Nikita is russian kojima btw

[rich elbow]

scavving is such a fucking waste of time. tagilla kills the only pmc then just sprints across the map to crush my skull

[terse fractal]

why is factory storage keycard exclusively on cultists??

[terse fractal]

have you tried going to Interchange instead? great loot outside the mall

[wanton bloom]

Because Nikita wants to slow progressing as much as possible

[rich elbow]

i dont need loot lol

[terse fractal]

so why are you even bothering with scav

[agile mantle]

killed santa body disappeared lmao

[rich elbow]

to get to 6.0 while i wait for this dickhead fence to send me hash codes

[wanton bloom]

I'm at 5.43 and haven't run a single scav ever

[rich elbow]

yeah im not trying to take 40 vehicle extracts to get over from 4.25 to 6.0 buddy

[wanton bloom]

There are other ways to get fence rep. Have you completed his tasks? (Not the scav ones)

[rich elbow]

lmao. yeah theres fucking two

[wanton bloom]

Theres several... The choice... and then all of the unheard task line

the choice gives you a whole leve and more I believe

[rich elbow]

i guess you missed the part where im waiting for hash codes

[wanton bloom]

Just because you're waiting on the codes doesnt mean you did the other tasks...

[rich elbow]

yes it does lmao

[grizzled yoke]

for terminal, when repairing a box, does it consume the toolset?

asking this so I know to bring 2 toolsets instead of 1

[wanton bloom]

Friend Among Strangers task line isn't required for ticket

[short breach]

[short breach]

Why do you need a second one if you only need to fix one electrical panel?

[grizzled yoke]

there are two panel that might break right?

[rich elbow]

you mean the quest line that starts at 5.0 fence standing genius?

[short breach]

In all my runs, only one panel was broken.

[grizzled yoke]

well nonetheless, did the toolset disappear from your inventory when you fixed the panel?

[wanton bloom]

"Establish contact" starts at 4... and I'm not the genius that decided to run a scav on a map that has a boss famous for smacking the crap out of people with less then 6 rep and then whining about it. You could have run ground zreo with no bosses

[rich elbow]

it literally says 5.0 on the quest lmao you cant even read

[short breach]

I don't remember, it's been a month since I passed the terminal or more

[rich elbow]

you mean ground zero with kollotonay?

[wanton bloom]

Sorry I'm going off of memory...

[pseudo tulip]

no kollontay

[rich elbow]

since when?

[pseudo tulip]

a while back

[wanton bloom]

He hasn't been on that map for over a year

[golden tusk]

is tagilla 100% spawn? on local servers not bsg

[pseudo tulip]

no

[golden tusk]

ty

[wanton bloom]

Its supposedly 70% for most bosses, 30 for goons and 20% for cultists

"supposedly"

[golden tusk]

gotcha thank you, im sure it changes all the time so i never know

[wanton bloom]

Although I got cultist in four today so that kinda works out

[pseudo tulip]

when you go into factory with a pkm full of snb no tagilla hes hiding, go there with MXLR for tark shooter 8 and hes right by your spawn

[wanton bloom]

Thats just overkill... Tagilla is easy... just hop out the window of first floor office and corner peak him when you agro him into the office... You can drop him with any ammo without taking a scratch every time... Killa has a similar issue

[cold panther]

There is a one fixed toolset spawn right after you get the door open with the explosive device

[pseudo tulip]

ive killed him with glock 17 face to face hes not a threat, just saying when i go there to kick his ass hes hiding, when i wanna do tasks hes always there

[wanton bloom]

Go in Kiba and shoot him through the window... He wont shoot in, but you can shoot out

[broken gull]

whenb does the christmas tree leave?

[wanton bloom]

Theyve changed it like 3 times now... your guess is as good as ours

welp... I cant get the last 50 PMC killstask from lightkeeper for my hybrid ammo for a couple more hours apparently... I think I'm gonna run the Spear for my Terminal run with straight Hybrid... Everything else I want to do is on a timer cool down so I may as well go run a 10k IRL to kill the time... Good luck on all your raids everyone...

[golden tusk]

i just died to him before i posted that, unloaded an entire mag of bcp fmj into what i thought was his leg and did 1001 damage, stood there shocked he was still alive then died lmao

[pseudo tulip]

Oh what are the odds atm im running bcp fmj as well farming factory for some materials!

I recommend aiming for his head still, im zeroing out his helm and killing him still with SA58 and bcp fmj

[violet shore]

January 20th and the Christmas tree is still standing... xd

[pseudo tulip]

Same set up for interchange and killa, gotta find those damn electric drills

[golden tusk]

about to give it another go, i'm not even hunting him he's just on xgames mode today i guess lol

[rich elbow]

two bitcoins and blue folder from residential oof

[toxic patio]

i'm just trying to figure out the fastest way to kill pmc's that isn't factory

need to get punisher part 6 done.

[finite tide]

customs always works for me

[rich elbow]

lighthouse sometimes, had 10 spawn on the road

[winter latch]

I have alot of luck on lighthouse. Every raid has like 10 pmcs on the middle road

[rich elbow]

ooof almost locked myself into red on labs, used my last use to get out lol

[sharp reef]

I hate the bloody rusted key. I hate it I hate it I hate it. Just spaaaaaaaawn

[wanton crane]

i love that the moment i start looking for a psu on labs every enemy is looking at me and i have to get out. well at least i found an mcc before the chaos

labs is so 0 to 100 i love it

[toxic patio]

why the hell is the headbob so agressive all of the sudden

i'm fucking nodding my head full force

[jovial wadi]

did you try raising and then lowering the headbob in settings already

[lusty copper]

Is it possible to reset a PvP side of an account or can I only reset the whole account
I wanted to play PvP Tarkov legitimately but Twitch drops + Arena sullied it for me

[alpine escarp]

I have an issue. Whenever i try to open the game, it closes immediately before even loading the start menu, what can do i to troubleshoot?

[pliant pond]

whats the #11sr keycard for?

[alpine escarp]

keycard on interchange

at powerstation https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Object_11SR_keycard

[inner sinew]

Hi!
Can anyone help me with PC settings for Tarkov PvE?
I have a 5800X3D, 32 GB 3600 MHz RAM, 4070 Ti SUPER and very little sanity left after the infinite amount of YT guides and still having around 40 FPS on Streets.
(Which I wouldn't mind that much, if I wouldn't lose around half of it with ADS.)

[pliant pond]

thx

[nocturne gyro]

anyone know when the christmas armor for killa is going away

[pine geyser]

yo sorry if this is a dumb question but on PVE do locked rooms have a chance to be looted already or something? did 10 marked key openings and best i got was a labs access card lmao

[finite tide]

loot has sucked this wipe and ai do have a chance to pick up stuff through the walls

[slender wolf]

lighthouse always

[finite tide]

so if you go for marked rooms try and loot them as early as possible

[slender wolf]

just go to the house next to the road to the lighthouse island and camp the highways

[slender wolf]

the PMC usually camp in the house and other PMC spawn elsewhere eventually start to go down the highway, which you can hear scavs shooting at them sometimes

[violet bolt]

It wont

It just wont spawn anymore iirc

[slender wolf]

you can stack up on it to invest if you want

[willow tinsel]

Guess what happened after eating 4 unriped mangos

[slender wolf]

cuz eventually people will get into end game and start to spend money on funny things

[finite tide]

what

[austere flame]

Does anyone else have a problem with the game crashing mid raid? This has happened a lot since the 1.0 update. Sometimes I can get back in sometimes not. Both on pve and PvP

Driving me crazy

[wanton crane]

honestly if you can run labs. im doing it rn and i always run into at least 1 big group of pmc

[pine geyser]

are u using smooth motion or dlss 4.5

[toxic patio]

ran lighthouse like i suggeted and got headshot through altyn sheild from 400m away

[austere flame]

I have a 3070 ti, no smooth motion and it happens with dlss 4.5, 4, j and k preset. And also without dlss. Possibly a ram issue but have tried to mitigate

[toxic patio]

lighthouse is such a shitty map

[pine geyser]

any overclock or undervolt on gpu or cpu? also you did try verifying file integrity right? im sure you have but doesnt hurt to make sure

[austere flame]

No change in system parameters. 5600x,32 gb 3600mhz ram, 3070 ti, ssd drivefpr the game and windows. I have verified files a couple of times yes.

What's strange is that this never happened before 1.0

[pine geyser]

dang well I'm not sure what to try next then, I had a crashing issue too where every other raid it would freeze for a few seconds then crash, i turned my cpu pbo negative offset down a few points and it stopped doing it

[austere flame]

Undervolting CPU?

[pine geyser]

yeah I have a 7800x3d and if I use PBO to apply an all-core negative offset of -15 to -20ish it makes it run cool enough to never drop from max boost clock of 5050 during games, idk how a 5600x would work with that but you could try looking it up

[austere flame]

Interesting. I haven't done much of these things since the 90s.

[wanton crane]

is yellow the best place for the gpsa? it has the most rare spawns in one space right?

[pine geyser]

well back then was probably mostly overclocking and increasing power etc, now everything has built in autoboost algorithms so undervolting gives you big performance gains over overclocking

[austere flame]

Nice to know

[sharp obsidian]

Yellow, across from yellow, cat statue. There’s a couple other spots. In between the dome and that small white hut, on some white cooler boxes, between both 2nd floor offices as well, on some other cooler boxes

[austere flame]

Would love x3d. But the 5800x3d and 5700x3d are impossible to find now. And going to am5 is way to expensive now

[sharp obsidian]

In office 2 i believe? On the shelves near the window

[willow tinsel]

lets just say i saw the mangos in the toilets in chewed shape a few hours later

[slender wolf]

i had both of them spawn there once

both GPSA and the MCC thing

if only i knew and hit it before i went and scour the map every raid...

[pine geyser]

i got the yellow thing from green room but cant find gpsa thing

[finite tide]

yellow thing?

[pine geyser]

MCC advanced current converter

[hazy gorge]

They should make killa spawn on every map

[pine geyser]

pls no im already tired of him on interchange, cant place my comtacs without him sprinting across the mall to laser me

[austere flame]

Not an easy craft for the MCC and gpsa I can see

[finite tide]

event still going on?

[hazy gorge]

Krill issue

[finite tide]

dude when is this event ending tired of santa

[proper spoke]

@finite tideIt was a few hours ago. It's getting close now.

I've started just shooting santa and accepting my 6.00 level 1 fence rep

[finite tide]

it was supposed to end yesterday

[pine geyser]

ngl i did basically nothing but craft that level 6 rig for the plates

[proper spoke]

yeah russians don't understand time

[finite tide]

i want to get this rouge quest done

[proper spoke]

Don't remind me I still have like 80 rogues to kill

[finite tide]

i have 100 to kill

for some reason his agro is tied to fucking rouges

[hazy gorge]

lowkey feeling like doing a zero to hero run

[finite tide]

do it will be fun

im just gonna take a break from the game till the event is removed if that ever happens

[wanton crane]

btc farm lvl 1 frees up 97 slots

i found where my stash space was

[slender wolf]

its not worth grinding for the material for it just to craft it for hideout upgrades

[hazy gorge]

Gonna do it with my big ass sword

[young frost]

what else u gonna craft them for ?

[slender wolf]

you can use the GPSA to craft material for LEDX

[finite tide]

after i get what ever ending im gonna get imma do a hardcore playthrough

[slender wolf]

other than that its not worth crafting (UNLESS the material to craft it somehow decreases in price so much that its worth crafting)

i remember they being like 700k

selling to therapist ofc

just run labs a few times and you will get them

note: you should hit yellow in labs everytime

[pine geyser]

what gear do you guys bring to labs to kill the AI, im bad at labs lol

[slender wolf]

its very profitable (100k per open?) with alot of valuable spawn including spawn for BOTH GPSA and MCC

[slender wolf]

um usually i run ronin respirator and class 6 armor

but class 5 and whatever helmet you want will work

just that i have been getting unlucky and getting head eyes so i run ronin now

[pine geyser]

i have plenty of class 6 plates, was using tagilla mask but i cant see good enough to actually kill anything before they kill me

[slender wolf]

if you dont want to waste class 6 then class 5 will work, since they run class 4 at most

ok sometimes they run M80

[hazy gorge]

running with no helmet is more fun

[slender wolf]

same

been running it for weight till i got killed head eyes 3 times in a row

other maps i still run light helmets or none tho

[hazy gorge]

A backpack, t5 armor and no helmet

[slender wolf]

since i love comtac sounds better than proflex's

[hazy gorge]

A pistol is enough

Maybe a rifle

[slender wolf]

true

bring grenades tho

[hazy gorge]

You can avoid fights in labs very easily

[slender wolf]

if you bring that then you wouldnt even need a gun at all

nade or smoke

[pine geyser]

what about guns, do you guys use scopes? i might need to find a way to crank my brightness up so i can see cuz i got a new qd-oled monitor and everything is DARK dark when things are dark and its hard to tell whats what

[slender wolf]

um i use EO tech with a magnifier because simply my PC couldnt afford to render LVPO

the game only uses PiP when you use the magnifier, thus giving me more performance where i need

but the 1-4x LVPO would be best imo

still tho

you can avoid fighting AI

[austere flame]

I had a great luck with a modded g36c with a vudu on. Took out raiders in the head from afar and blasted ai pmc closer. Using d60 mags

[hazy gorge]

I cranked up my gamma settings to see better

[broken gull]

bro, get lossless scaling, for frame gen, i use it n it fixes the problem for me the latency lagg isn't that bad n u are in playing in pve so u can't really mind it

[slender wolf]

thats the neat part, my pc cant run it without losing frames too

lol

[pine geyser]

specs?

[slender wolf]

although

that was several years ago

might test it again

[slender wolf]

3050Ti mobile and a i7-12700h with 16gb DDR5

was ABOUT to upgrade the RAM for work then the second plane hit the tower

i managed to buy SSDs before all this tho

at least i got something

[pine geyser]

have you tried dlss 4.5 on ultra performance with L preset? i wonder how the 3050 ti handles that

[crystal umbra]

Does Shturman and his sniper goons have more trouble insta spotting you at night? Or does it not matter and the AI sees the same no matter the hour?

[pine geyser]

i dont know for sure but i only hunt him at night because it seems they might have a limited sight range at night, i can kill them from afar and they dont shoot back if im far enough, during the day tho theyll shoot back when im on sniper rock lol

[crystal umbra]

Ye thats my issue during the day lol. All the trees and bushes are blurry af (tried TAA High, FXAA, newest DLSS etc) and I legit cant see through them, yet they dont have any such issues and will insta lase on me if I even barely register in their FoV

So night with thermal scope sounds like a more doable way?

[pine geyser]

i've been using thermal scopes to bypass all that lol
