[pine geyser]

thats what im doin rn

[crystal umbra]

I'll do it next time I am going to woods then, I got the 20 shturman kills quest rn

[pine geyser]

lol i have to get svd kills for punisher 6 but i think after it is turning in 2 found in raid red rebels or something so im trying to get some

[quaint salmon]

Anyone know when santa will finally disappear? xD

[hazy gorge]

[shell oak]

can i do contacts up north with using nods on my helmet and not on my gun?

some tasks that need me to not use thermal or night scopes dont accept kills i have nods on my helmet so is somewhat similar on that task too

[hazy gorge]

must be on the gun from what i know

[shell oak]

aight thx ill try it out whenever i get the task

[wintry notch]

god why are marked rooms so bad

[summer hollow]

Probably from the spawn nerf, every mark room I went to been pretty ass

[wintry notch]

I've got some keycards but it's still all a loss

it's more fun opening them than selling but it's dire

[finite tide]

loot nerf hopefully loot gets buffed after the event leaves

[strange tiger]

It wont

[rancid tundra]

doubt it

arena checkpoint it's old cod mw2 vibes

[compact folio]

guys, tree still up?

[rancid tundra]

yup

it's kinda realistic

cuz irl my tree is still up

gonna remove it in the next month

[finite tide]

i wish they would rebuff loot

[compact folio]

tbh thats crazy

[hazy gorge]

arena teams are something else

[pine geyser]

i've been spamming woods trying to get power filters for money lol, its so sad that actual keys and locked rooms dont even return the cost of the key in pve

[wintry notch]

best money I've found is just spamming tagilla on interchange

outside of labs that is

[finite tide]

Labyrinth is also good

[glacial osprey]

big pack, big rig, lv5-6 armor with lv3 neck armor, at least lv4 faceplate

[pine geyser]

labyrinth gets really boring for me pretty fast

[glacial osprey]

it is indeed boring. kill guards, loot - extract

just like the whole game... hm...

[wintry notch]

killin and lootin is fun

[pine geyser]

its just boring running there and queueing over and over is all i mean

takes so long

[broken gull]

does his new base have good loot?

[pine geyser]

i heard theres like a guaranteed intel spawn or something like that but idk for sure

[wintry notch]

Guaranteed intel spawn, like 5 good tech spawns, bunch of ammo spawns and a few valuable spawns

[quartz vector]

Goons on shoreline?

[compact folio]

guys, what r the chances that my backpack didnt return with insurance? tbh i dont know if only my backpack or all my loadout that i took into the raid

[wintry notch]

If you want goons just play local customs afaik

[broken gull]

i acutally need that hnx

[pine geyser]

wait is that really a thing

[quartz vector]

Do they have a chance to always spawn on local no matter the map?

[wintry notch]

That's what I've heard, I've never tested it though

[pine geyser]

hmmm

[quartz vector]

Liar liar pants on fire

[wintry notch]

My friend keeps bumping into the goons on customs tho and he's playing local

meanwhile I've never seen them and I play on bsg servers

[pine geyser]

ahhh dang what is gonna be the least aids way of getting 2 fir red rebels

[wintry notch]

rb-bk/vo

That quest isn't necessary for kappa tho so unless you wanna be able to buy the TKPD it's kinda whatever

[pine geyser]

i think goons are on shoreline right now

i just wanted to try the FMJ ammo lol

[hazy gorge]

it aint that good

[pine geyser]

oo okay good to know, i liked the tkpd but it never pens armor

[hazy gorge]

its a decent round

but ehh

[wintry notch]

it's like 115 dam 44 pen or something

[verbal night]

so... when is santa going away? I thought it was supposed to be yesterday

[hazy gorge]

aint enough for me

and arena servers just shit themselves for me

[nocturne harness]

have raiders always been able to have m62?

RFB with like 3 mags of m62, yoink

[pine geyser]

i've never seen it so if they have, must be rare lol nice find

[nocturne harness]

yea was gonna say

no wonder they can 1 tap you

m62 is crazy

[proud oak]

same as m80 basically

[quartz vector]

Why does Glukhar always have a division of dumb little pricks following him 😭

He does NOT need 6 guards

[alpine escarp]

because lore

[inland axle]

does the MPSA spawn in the same locations as the ACC?

[alpine escarp]

and yes his guards are king von

[mystic marsh]

Well, led-x sacrifice is done. Anyone interested in hearing what I got?

[alpine escarp]

just say what you got gng 🥀

[mystic marsh]

Well, it could've been worse

One FIR blue intel.

definitely halved the overall price compared to ledx but hey at least it's like an item I may need in the future

[proud oak]

yes

GPSA you mean

[mystic marsh]

Ohhhh it's a guaranteed craft

Just looked it up

very interesting stuff

[alpine escarp]

just do a g28 patrol from pk

14h

[mystic marsh]

The barter is a terragroup labs access card

I cannot buy them yet, need lvl 30

Fiine, I'll buy one G28 and sacrifice it

14 hour timer, is that good?

[inland axle]

lol yes

Got the ACC today which gives me hope for the GPSA

[late mango]

Any NA PVE players wanna get some quests done?

[pine geyser]

14 hour timer is the one that give u like rare stuff i think so like potentially marked key etc, then theres small chance its a 6 hour timer which gives u quest items i think

[alpine escarp]

then get lvl 30 and do it, until then just do 3x stm9 and 1 saiga

[mystic marsh]

Fair fair

[tulip mesa]

I know its prob asked a lot, but did they extend Christmas tree? Was supposed to go yesterday.

[glacial osprey]

no

[glacial osprey]

looks like it

[glacial osprey]

yes

[night willow]

#screenshots 👍

[vapid steeple]

guys, anyone else having problems after 20-25 minutes in game? i got 4 times by now crash, lost the progress of the raid, lost whatever found, happened like a reset at all. now i was in the car extract, 20 sec to leave and it happened again.

no error, nothing, just doing a little 10 sec freeze in the whole pc almost, then the window closes no errors and raid is gone

[night willow]

turn off Mip streaming, turn off preload hideout, turn on automatic ram cleaner, turn on only use physical cores

[cosmic patrol]

[hazy gorge]

man my arena teams are on tweaker mode

[mystic marsh]

Hello king

[vapid steeple]

i got this all already, got my game optimised to full, i got 9800x3d now. this never happened a year ago with my old pc and i was 55 lvl or sth, i played a lot of pve, never happened in PVP also not even this wipe, new or old pv

[mystic marsh]

Ok so I need 1 cpu cooler and 1 cpu for 2 separate quests, let's hope this scav run on gz will do me good

[night willow]

how long has it been since you cleared your cache, or your logs?

[mystic marsh]

Last run I found a stick of RAM but no CPUs lmao 😭

[glacial osprey]

ello

[vapid steeple]

every day before i log to play or open the game, and if it not every time i open it its every second for sure

[glacial osprey]

run inter

3 tech shops next to oli and pc offices

[night willow]

I'm not sure then, might need to run an integrity check, and if that doesn't fix it run windows memory diagnostic

[mystic marsh]

Knowing my luck I'll die to killa

[vapid steeple]

ok thanks, im gonna do some tests with the settings then and stay late in the raids to check it out, if nothing happens im just gonna stop pve i guess

[dreamy mantle]

have you already uninstalled, clean up your PC, and re-installed? also, with your new 9800x3d (i got the same) have you updated BIOS on your mobo and made sure all other drivers and updates are up to date? could be other factors than just Tarkov. Had a buddy i built his PC having the same issue but he didnt update anything after i built it for him minus games lol

[viral zodiac]

Man you got the whole Microsoft engineering team on hand here to help you. Meanwhile I'll pop in to ask about a quest issue any everyone ignores me

[dreamy mantle]

it just depends on when good people are on, my dude.

[vapid steeple]

i did format and everything 1 month ago that i got the cpu/ram/mobo, my game runs smooth AF even tho i got RTX 2060, even on streets with high graphics i got 100+ fps, never had a problem with lag/freeze or anything else PC wise if u excule the dsync ofc, did BIOS, did everything, literally the only reason i updated my PC is tarkov 😛

[dreamy mantle]

i try and help when i can and not in-raid or working (i work from home)

[viral zodiac]

I home from work

[dreamy mantle]

haha

[viral zodiac]

Screw the corporate shareholders

[mystic marsh]

Devs really forgot to turn the tree off

[glacial osprey]

kill killa

[dreamy mantle]

yeah same. i dont really play any other game. shit, i paid what, $200 for this game already?? IM GONNA GET ALL $200 OUT OF IT

[mystic marsh]

As a scav?

[glacial osprey]

stop scavving

[dreamy mantle]

down

[mystic marsh]

No

ALWAYS scav

[vapid steeple]

i was lucky af tho me and my buddy we got the same staff same day, 9800x3d etc. and 1 week later the ram went from 160 euros to 450 lmao

[dreamy mantle]

dude yeah. i just built my PC in June. went all out this time. 4K wide curved monitor, 9800X3D, 5080, 64 GB ram, and made sure i got the fastest NVME. still wasnt cheap, and wife was NOT happy, but, im the only one who works, so.....

spent only 200 on the 64GB ram at the time

[hazy gorge]

do you even play as your pmc?

[mystic marsh]

ONLY when I am questing

The thing is, I am ALWAYS questing

if you go in a raid without at least one quest in mind, might as well not go in at all

[pine geyser]

i do, but im still gonna forget about it tho lmao

[dreamy mantle]

i get quest ADD all the time, mostly because of looting

[mystic marsh]

real

[narrow eagle]

Weird take

[bright sand]

perhaps just for you only

[vapid steeple]

next thing i wanna do is 2k/4k monitor and a GPU is basically the only thing missing, how do u like 4k tho? u think its worth it?

[dreamy mantle]

its not worth it yet to go to 4K. tbh, Tarkov needs to update their graphics engine.

BSG*

[pine geyser]

I upgraded to 4k when I had a 4080 and this game ran better lol, it's so CPU bound that increasing graphical intensity in ways that dont increase cpu strain helps a bit in tarkov

[mystic marsh]

Scav with 100k roubles

I have a bad feeling about this

[vapid steeple]

yeah i know, had 9700k with 16GB ram, had to enable low detail, download process lasso etc to play streets with 30 fps in the good days, i dont even know how i did 3 kappa's playing like that, now with same GPU and 9800x3d i play streets in high with 80-120 fps

[hazy gorge]

i dont quest anymore lol

dont see the point in quests

[pine geyser]

i have a 7800x3d and I get the same on streets, 90 is normally the lowest i see

[hazy gorge]

the ones at this lvl i should say

[vapid steeple]

funny how a cpu determines the whole game in there, imagine with old PC i could only do sbih with mosin iron site, everything else was impossible

[thorn wadi]

anyone seen the goons lately?

[pine geyser]

the only reason for it in this game and pretty much no other game ever is because this one actually uses a single cpu core to not only prepare all the frames but also to calculate all the AI and everything inside the raid, even tho task manager says you got lots of cores doing stuff most of those are just managing system resources, tarkov is basically a single core game lmao

[pine geyser]

woods rn i think

[foggy marsh]

anyone know where i can open my armored case? i cannot find the option to open it in workbench

[dreamy mantle]

hell no. and been seeing everyone asking about them. @pine geyser oh... lol i havent gone there much. will quest there then

[wintry notch]

I step out of knight garage, instantly AGS'd by a gluhar guard I love this game

[pine geyser]

where did my message go lol

[night willow]

are there any scope mounts that have an optic riser? i want a rangefinder but i don't want it to be in the way of my scope?

[pine geyser]

i think theres a scope mount that you can mount it on top

[worthy otter]

It was deleted due to rule 3

[vapid steeple]

i reset pve 4 days ago, tried to reach 1000 KD, at 400 after 30 raids killa wallbanged me throat behind some boxes 2tap straight 1st 2 bullets lmao

[night willow]

you're totally right actually i feel stupid

[pine geyser]

can you dm me more im confused

does anyone know why everyone is selling things for euros all the time?

[worthy otter]

Less fees, need euros

[cerulean iron]

has a fix been found for to great heights part 1 PVE zpne not showing up on arena? My pvp showed up just fine

[worthy otter]

The fix is waiting

[tulip mesa]

No I don't think so, my friend hasn't been able to do it either.

[cerulean iron]

So no, got it lol. maybe it will show up when i reset after terminal

[vernal spindle]

I love being spawned 5 meters away from sanitar just to get immedietly headeyes

[clever yarrow]

going to download now the new arena mode :). gonna try it out getting burnt out a bit on the questing ftm

[hazy gorge]

good luck lol

[vernal spindle]

I would play arena but the whole reason i play pve is so i dont have to deal with adhd ridden hyperspeed 10k hour chads

[clever yarrow]

i nee dto sadly to the qeusts for my other trader to get his rep up

[hazy gorge]

its not that bad

[clever yarrow]

plus getting more thicc cases is a mandatory rn for me

[hazy gorge]

its bad but not that much

[clever yarrow]

just kille dhte gooners as a scav on woods, got the armor and all that got out there

only lost 0.01 rep cause a random scav got agro on me

[hazy gorge]

oh yeah good luck with that lol

his tasks are a fucking pain

[clever yarrow]

i think the only one that was longer was the guards on streets caused streets rn is fucking dookie

i just cant get behind the map its super bad

aight just finished downlaoding gonna go to work soon and then ill try it out 😄

[hazy gorge]

oh the arena quests will be worse trust me

[clever yarrow]

give me one qeust exmaple XD

i am dying to know now

[hazy gorge]

the first 3 aint that bad

4th one is win 3 out of 6 matches but first you gotta pay 1 mil roubles, if you lose 4 out of 6 you gotta pay again

[glacial osprey]

wow, transit on pve in really bugged

killed a boss, took his gun, transitted - i do not have his gun anymore

[worn finch]

Hey all, does the Kappa cultist trade for the cultist Kappa still work 100%?

Don't wanna risk losing it

[cerulean iron]

always has, always will.

It is a recipe.

[glacial osprey]

why would it not?

[cerulean iron]

just don't put anything else in with it.

[mystic marsh]

Yoo lvl 27 let's gooo

[finite tide]

It’s tarkov wouldn’t be surprised if it was broken

[worn finch]

Just double checking, I've seen people talk about other recipes changing in the past
If the wiki isnt up to date on something in the latest updates its likely end-game stuff like that I figured, and there's a lot at stake if it goes wrong

[night willow]

Why does Jaeger have such a huge grudge against Shturman? aren't they both woodsmen?

[eager pulsar]

when does this christmas bullshit end im sick of having to hold my fire for the fat man

[worn finch]

He wants to prove his wood is bigger, man

[finite tide]

Was supposed to be yesterday

[mystic marsh]

Attempt to find a CPU part 3

[finite tide]

But bsg lied once again

[finite tide]

Cause shturman is a scav and jager hates scavs

[eager pulsar]

thats what i thought. bsg better be cooking up something good to go with it

[mystic marsh]

BSG? Cooking?

Are you sure?

[eager pulsar]

those new clothes are exciting i def will be buying the flannel puffer vest combo

[night willow]

eh, well either way i can buy the AXMC from Jaeger 4 now

[worn finch]

I know the christmas event is meant to be ending, but do we have any clue at all when Season 1 ends in Arena?
Don't wanna have to rush to finish it last minute

[finite tide]

Only thing bsg cooks is hot dog shit

[eager pulsar]

i said they better be i dont expect it though

[mystic marsh]

Best meta gun in the game is currently the ||one you like the most||

[mystic marsh]

i knoooow, they never cook

[eager pulsar]

[worn finch]

How dare you?
This is an unacceptable take

[mystic marsh]

no

My fav gun is the M4A1 but I get bored of using it all the time

I cannot always use the same gun :(

[night willow]

the best meta gun in tarkov is the PPSH-41, 71 round spray, never jams

[cursive abyss]

Do you guys like MK47 more or the RD704

[mystic marsh]

M4A1

[eager pulsar]

all i really want from them rn is santa and the christmas bs gone + maybe if we're lucky they put cultists into the game

[eager pulsar]

rd704

[mystic marsh]

Met cultists on customs yesterday

[worn finch]

By that exact logic the RPD might be better? 👀

[mystic marsh]

@glacial osprey isn't that right

[eager pulsar]

i dont believe you

[worn finch]

More round, also never jam

[night willow]

M4 is Icky, i prefer the M60E6

[golden tusk]

Wait you don’t light him up every time you get the chance?

[eager pulsar]

i like my scav karma

[mystic marsh]

Me and @glacial osprey went there at night, killed all of them and found some cool stuff

was my first time meeting them

[golden tusk]

I haven’t lost any yet

[finite tide]

What’s your rep?

[eager pulsar]

nikita knows im balling out too hard and doesnt want me to have any marked keys im afraid

[worn finch]

Did they try to put stuff in ya butt?
They like doing that

[night willow]

yeah but the PPSH has 1000RPM, which is good for the one who's name we do not speak because he shoves a hammer up your ass if you do

[eager pulsar]

think im ~2.00

[finite tide]

You won’t lose any then

You only lose rep at 6

[frank remnant]

killed kaban for my first time yay

[glacial osprey]

cultists are in the game

literally killed them thrice yesterday

[night willow]

but also like, the M4 is kinda butts when you consider the NL545 is just better with access to better ammo earlier on

[eager pulsar]

interesting... good to know but also he never has shit so id prefer if he just left

[golden tusk]

He must die I must know what secrets he holds in that big red bag

[finite tide]

He gave me a labs card once and I thanked him with magnum buck to the head

[night willow]

Every time i "accidentally" kill santa he 100 percent deserved it for luring me into a trap

[eager pulsar]

nikita must favor the eu server then because i havent seen them once and i am pumping these night customs raids

[glacial osprey]

always kill santa. he might have labs access card or moonshine

[golden tusk]

His fast little feet are infuriating

[glacial osprey]

they can spawn during the raid, so do not just fly by

[night willow]

he'll actively beckon me over to drop something for me knowing there are pmcs actively aiming their guns in the doorway he's standing in

[golden tusk]

Hahahaha

[eager pulsar]

This I know. I usually go around the whole map first then extract at zb-13 after checking for em. They need to boost the spawn rate fr

[night willow]

if you'd like to know my feelings on santa, check out the song "Jolly old Sadist" off of the new Psychostick album "The Flesh eating rollerskate rides again"

and before you ask, yes its supposed to be stupid, its a joke band

[mystic marsh]

:( no CPU

had to quick extract

[celest fossil]

what the fuck is with people dropping a lfg and then instantly disappearing off the face of the earth

[mystic marsh]

hoping next scav can find a cpu

[glacial osprey]

okay, time to post in lfg

done, finally i can go to my job for 10 hours

[dreamy mantle]

probably cheaters who were just going to kill you and loot you

[clever yarrow]

Ah so one of those quests

I had a dream last night where I met a cheater and all the other pmcs showed up and legit tried to kill him, he never fought back and all of us just took the same extract to leave

[pine geyser]

is it just me or are cultists wayyyy easier than previous wipes? i remember they used to just all laser you at once when you got close and you couldnt see them at all, now they all just run around stupidly the whole time

[hazy gorge]

cultists seem a bit stupid rn

[clever yarrow]

I only could ever get one run of them to occur

:/

Rng isn’t in my favor

[pine geyser]

i was just on customs with thermal trying to finish test drive or whatever and they were just there laying around lol

i want a t-7 real bad, are they worth using?

[clever yarrow]

Cultists are still top tier to farm as they can drop Hexgrids and slicks

[karmic nexus]

Eh, with the insurance not being able to put on them, I'd say no

[celest fossil]

nope

not worth the 17 mil for the performance you get

[hazy gorge]

nah

not worth it

thermals for cultists are kinda useless anyway

[celest fossil]

if youre gonna run t7s just go and buy 17 reap irs

[karmic nexus]

When they were able to be insured back pre 1.0 I ran them pretty often, really nice on Woods and Shoreline to just see an enemy about 200 yards away and get a sense of direction, take off the thermals and shoot them

[pine geyser]

i just like using them in general since normal scopes are blurry so night time raid with thermals feels nice rn

[celest fossil]

ill never understand that tbh

dogshit fov, grainy as shit, cant shoot with a scope

id rather just scan with a reap ir and shoot with that as well

[karmic nexus]

Do yall have DLSS turned on?

Theres a known issue with DLSS being turned on, I turned it off and had no issues with my scopes after the fact

[pine geyser]

no i didnt even like the 4.5 thing enough to keep it, it deblurs the scopes but then the rest of the game looks terrible, just using TAA and its still blurry

[tulip mesa]

I don't, personally. Barely does anything in this game, buggy. Doesn't translate the image well and almost imperctible performance differences betwen presets.

[pine geyser]

scopes are blurrier this wipe than any wipe i've played before i swear

[tulip mesa]

DLSS elsewise (outside of Tarkov) is incredible, frankly. Here? Not so much.

[celest fossil]

the weather and fog is worse this wipe than any other wipe

i think a lot of it has to do with that

[pine geyser]

maybe

[tulip mesa]

game is already extremely CPU-bound as well

[pine geyser]

yeah, luckily dlss 4 increased the load on gpu to give better quality so its at least not an outright fps decrease and visual decrease like it used to be

for me it doesnt change my fps basically at all

normally i would use it because the antialiasing it has is better than TAA but now blur 🙁

[tulip mesa]

It doesn't do anything for me. Literally makes the image worse with no performance impact. Maybe even worse performance, honestly.

[pine geyser]

if we could use DLAA in this game that would be amazing

[celest fossil]

lmfao peak tarkov optimization

[pine geyser]

BS or PPBS for labyrinth?

[hazy gorge]

Bs is better

Atleast in my experience

[daring flicker]

Thats BS

[formal haven]

Blue folders still spawn at Lighthouse train station? Or am I better off on Labs

[gaunt rune]

best place to farm scavs for respirators?

fkin event everyone is a furry

[hazy gorge]

what

[thorn token]

Good luck for now

[daring flicker]

The bullet

[thorn token]

My best idea is to farm scavs inside buildings, so interchange

[hazy gorge]

Right

[gaunt rune]

I'll farm customs and transit then

[split hull]

Would the small thermal optic on a canted mount work for connections up north?

[thorn token]

It’s a nightmare using the valday with the fog, it’s like my scope itself fogs up right in the center

[thorn token]

What’s the task say

[split hull]

Bolt action w/ night or thermal scope

[thorn token]

It should be like test drive 3, in which yes that works

It just has to be attached

I use the valday on my ak-12, with the canted sight on there using a reflex sight

My kills still count for the task without using the valday

[split hull]

Yeah I'm just not sure if the small thermal counts as a 'scope' for the purposes of the quest

Guess I'll try it anyway

[thorn token]

But also it shouldn’t be relatively too hard to get a flir currently

Get a flir, hunt rogues

[hazy gorge]

Do you have the axmc?

[hazy gorge]

Its pmcs from what i know

[thorn token]

Unless it’s to kill pmcs

Ah

[split hull]

Yeah

[hazy gorge]

I can dm you a build that works from what i know

[thorn token]

Genuinely just get a flir, put it on a gun, and then do what I’m doing with the canted reflex sight

[split hull]

Go for it dawg

[hazy gorge]

just do what i sent should still work

[split hull]

[marble bronze]

Honestly just go FLIR and reserve dome sniping

[rough badge]

Servers down rn?

[karmic nexus]

No

[rough badge]

Ahh okay, my mate was mid terminal run and servers died

and then they came back and hes dead

[karmic nexus]

Unless they just shit the bed I've had no issues

[rough badge]

I think they did

[supple island]

servers down?

[karmic nexus]

@supple island Go away

[karmic nexus]

I had that copied and pasted waiting for you

[pine geyser]

have you guys had any luck getting rusted bloody key? I did like 30 scav runs in a row on streets and it still hasnt spawned

[karmic nexus]

only 30?

Gotta bump those numbers up my guy

[pine geyser]

well yeah, last time i played I found it like 3 times before i even got the quest and i was just casually checking the spot as i would come through

[vagrant crypt]

good morning all, do we know when santa goes away?

[pine geyser]

dang yall really dont like santa

[karmic nexus]

He can die every raid, hes more useful to me as looting XP

[pine geyser]

he also has a sweet backpack and sometimes good loot, found a moonshine earlier in his sack

[karmic nexus]

Hot

[vagrant crypt]

i can't get him to stop hunting me. tried the 3x raid thing.

[karmic nexus]

Someone give me something to do, I got kappa, and completed big pockets, whats the next thing I should work for?

[supple island]

kappa on pvp

[karmic nexus]

@supple island Should I go fix the servers?

[karmic nexus]

Nah we dont play pvp here

[supple island]

impossible

[gaunt rune]

zero respirator scavs

moonshine near xmas tree tho

[vernal spindle]

Do electric drills spawn or are they bugged?

[bright sand]

why do everyone says things are bugged when they dont find it

[candid brook]

ive done all the story missions and the BTR questline is that all the pre-requisites needed for the good ending?

[astral kindle]

And atleast 4.0 fence rep

[vernal spindle]

Im level 43, never even seen one yet and i do a lot of tech runs

[keen juniper]

No way

[candid brook]

I usually find them in scavs backpacks or duffel bags

[vernal spindle]

They must just be exceedingly rare then

[keen juniper]

Not at all

[vernal spindle]

Then im just unlucky

[agile mantle]

is the server down? like im loading forever

[karmic nexus]

Honestly with how many drills you need for hideout, they do not spawn enough.

[candid brook]

can you use the scav junkbox in base? you could just try to spam the money one for one mabye

or do u not have that

[agile mantle]

ofc as soon as I say that it loads in

[vernal spindle]

Basically barely got s hideout, have been trying to find drills all wipe lol, i think i need 4 total

[devout nest]

Savior question, towards the end you have to do a task for Fence where you kill PMCs while maintaining rep. Once that task is done and you get the item from Fence, am I free to kill scavs again without fear of rep loss?

Or do I have to finish the rest of the story

[marble bronze]

Finish lightkeeper

[split hull]

This worked btw, cheers :^)

[karmic nexus]

I was waiting for my buddy for lightkeeper, but I guess its something to do

[hazy gorge]

[devout nest]

Have you finished the art of the explosion?

[karmic nexus]

You have shown me the light, thank you, I'm going to team kill my friend with the rocket launcher lol

[gaunt rune]

you will find one laying around interchange tech shops next run I believe

[devout nest]

Hell yeah brother

[karmic nexus]

Completely off topic, I really love my smoker but I hate the damn app it has. It takes about 2 mins to connect to the damn thing and I'm not able to control the temp

[gaunt rune]

4 respirators or 3 last kappa items first? bets?

[tulip mesa]

You guys think Abandoned Factory marked key is worth it @ ~10mil (for task & loot)?

[karmic nexus]

1 Mill per marked room is a decent hit

I usually make the money back fully by the 5th use and the rest is just profit

[tulip mesa]

Yeah, screw it. I want this task done. I took a 10/10 for 9mil, let's see.

[cursive summit]

Marked room keys are usually so ass its not even funny, especially the 314 key, you will NOT even get like 100k back per use if you're even lucky to key that

[subtle valve]

Lol. what?

[karmic nexus]

314 is pretty ass, if you get the key you might aswell sell it, Reserve and Streets Marked at 1 mill a hit I always have been able to make my money back by the 10th use

[subtle valve]

That's a heavy underestimation, I'd say it gives avg 500k per opening

[tulip mesa]

Its so hit or miss. I found a 314 Marked, my first pull was legendary -- three labs cards (1 access, 1 blue, 1 yellow), bunch of guns and various rares. After that, nothing basically.

I swear I got on one of my last pulls: x1 Chainlet, x1 Axel Parrot, a PP-19

[cursive summit]

My last use was an lmg and a killa figurine

[subtle valve]

I am still waiting for christmass stuff to be gone to him mark rooms

[karmic nexus]

I had 7 guns in one pull before, nothing worth mentioning aswell

[tulip mesa]

Though on one of my mid-pulls for 314 got a Red Rebel for my friend at least

[tulip mesa]

may I ask why?

[karmic nexus]

Valuable spawn can be ornament rather than something actually valuable

[clever yarrow]

Kk did I get my info wrong? Isn’t today suppose to be he end of Xmas event?

Like th entire Xmas tree

[molten wren]

Yeah, I opened one marked during this event and I had like 3 ornaments + a bit of trash.

[karmic nexus]

I thought it was aswell

[clever yarrow]

Or is that updated now rolled back

They legit forgot XD

[stone goblet]

it was supposed to be yesterday

[clever yarrow]

I know that’s what I thought too

⏳

[molten wren]

I

[devout nest]

Make some more level 6 plates while you can!

and use up any festive flares

[clever yarrow]

Eh I’m not too fond of the plate tbh

I like The goons plates

The one with the skull mask

Matches it super tight

[devout nest]

It's still nice to stock up. I generally run ultra light level 5 plates

[molten wren]

I'm waiting with the water treatment quests, because I don't want to aggro Santa after killing Rogues. Hopefully they wake up soon about this.

[devout nest]

You don't need to use the kit, craft it, and take the plates out of the rig

[clever yarrow]

I got a few Hex grids and Slicks run

[heavy moth]

did they just forget to end the xmas event or something lol

[devout nest]

Ick slicks weigh way too much

[clever yarrow]

Plus I feel the TTV110 is still a superior vet rig cause of its carry amount of two 2x2 slots

[clever yarrow]

But it looks clean

[subtle valve]

So there are no ornaments in mark room loot pool? XD

[heavy moth]

1.3kg with aramid is not heavy lol

[devout nest]

man I think I'd rather run pure goon armor as is than run a slick

[tulip mesa]

Ah loot pollution, gotcha

[loud raptor]

Damn the server changed

[clever yarrow]

See if do that tbh

But the options are there

[devout nest]

I'm talking the default plates you find in slicks that are 5kg per or some shit

[open cloak]

The kiteco is literally the 2nd best T6 plate behind the GAC 4sss having 5 more dura. Lightest T6 and UHMWP has the best repair ability.

[clever yarrow]

Plus you gotta get strength up ya k so

[loud raptor]

Can’t access announcement now

[heavy moth]

i still take em anyway lol, the plates are good for labs and such where the map isnt massive

[devout nest]

You could vendor them, buy watches and barter trade for level 5 plates that weigh .9kg each though

[clever yarrow]

I should do some labs to practice on them tbh

But I set a plan to do some arena now for the first time

[devout nest]

Or craft level 6 plates that weigh half as much

[loud raptor]

Arena is fun

[clever yarrow]

Just finished the download so ima try it out after my shift ends

[heavy moth]

even better imo is the xmas tree plates, like 1.2kg iirc and level 6

[devout nest]

Yeah those + HPC plates are my favorite, the rig sucks sure, but take the plates and sell the rig

[clever yarrow]

Use your puroplr flares stat

[loud raptor]

I just wish we could report the teamkillers tho

[clever yarrow]

Otherwise they are. Useless after

[devout nest]

They will just function like red flares after I thought?

[clever yarrow]

No someone said they will be unable to be usable

[heavy moth]

yeah the rigs suck, i have crafted so many of them i have 2 plates cases full of the plates lol

[clever yarrow]

I suggest using them up rn

[loud raptor]

Fireworks last year stopped working sfter the event

[clever yarrow]

^^^

I had like 6 of them and didn’t knew till last week thanks to Budgaming

So ye it’s super needed

[devout nest]

Well shit someone told me they turn into reds

[open cloak]

Kiteco or GAC t6 in Osprey (P) is the way

[clever yarrow]

Noooo I doubt

[devout nest]

Time to go burn em up

[devout nest]

Hell yea brother

[loud raptor]

Slick and a goon lbcr is the play tbh

[open cloak]

slick has like 1/3 the protection areas

[loud raptor]

Yeah and all ai shoot are your arms

[open cloak]

pvp its great cause it doesnt have movement penalties

[loud raptor]

The ai are not good at all so in pve it’s also good

[agile mantle]

im stuck loading smh

[open cloak]

like the osprey arm protection against ai, slick just doenst cover enough

[loud raptor]

Infinite loading happen a lot since 1.0

[subtle valve]

Was there any statement why the tree is not gone yet?

[open cloak]

slick doesnt cover anything other than back and chest. Only benefit of the slick is literally lack of movement penalties, while offering no aramid inserts for secondary protection in areas other than back or chest

[loud raptor]

Idk I can’t access the channel, the eft server only has pve chat and vcs for me somehow

[subtle valve]

Restart your discord or sth

[loud raptor]

Bruh I had to manually go check all the boxes for the channels to pop up

[devout nest]

Agreed, no idea why people would wear it, the plates you find in them are trash as well

[loud raptor]

Side plates are useless

[open cloak]

osprey protects way more than just side.... and they fact i repair my t6 sides tells me they are not uselss lol

[astral kindle]

Gotta disagree here, sideplates have tanked plenty of shots for me

[loud raptor]

osprey is not drippy

[open cloak]

exactly

[astral kindle]

Also 6b45 > Ospray

[loud raptor]

Slick over every other ones then hexgrid second

[open cloak]

the slick literally does nothing better than osprey other than you move and turn slightly faster

[loud raptor]

Well the arena thor I use is kinda cool

[open cloak]

it is less protection

[loud raptor]

It has a skull on it

[open cloak]

looks are are one thing protection is fact lol

[astral kindle]

And crosshair on back if i remember right

[mighty coral]

Did the server crash?

[vernal stratus]

Is there anyone whose tarkov loads well rn?

After the raid ends, it doesn’t go back to the main screen and just keeps loading

[jolly bough]

Anyone have any tips for secure perimiter? i got it before 1.0 by waiting so the pmc ai wont get stuck. but i am having bad luck now so i whould enjoy some tips on how to do it

[dreamy mantle]

mine is doing good but i havent done in a raid in like an hour and a half or so

been in stash and hideout for a good while, and working at the same time

[subtle valve]

Did they lower boss chaces? 4 factory raids and no tagilla

I wanted to burn some 9x39 ammo on him and it is so quiet there

[wanton crane]

where did you guys find phased array elements? lvl 40 is still a ton xp

[empty plover]

Server goes binted?

[karmic nexus]

Reserve and Labyrinth

[subtle valve]

LH, labs, reserve, labiryth

[karmic nexus]

Where in labs?

Actaully nvm, I remember the last couple times I've seen them there but I wouldnt consider it a reliable way to get them

[gaunt rune]

bsg can you remove furry scavs pls

[dreamy mantle]

what is a furry scav

*slowly unzips

[orchid crest]

The masks

Bro needs those half masks

[subtle valve]

yellow, violet, random loose loot in the middle

[subtle valve]

*scissors ready

[dreamy mantle]

ah i didnt even remember about those

[split moat]

i keep dying in labyrinth any one have advice lol

[subtle valve]

Use better ammo, ammo is key

[dreamy mantle]

free circumcision, heck yeah

[subtle valve]

If you bring M993 or M61 then Labirynth is pretty easy

[split moat]

im using good ammo

[split moat]

i will try those

[subtle valve]

What ammo you are using?
If you hold corner and two-tap Shagilla and VKilla then what is the hard part?

[split moat]

last time was BP ammo

and if i was two tapping them i wouldnt be here

[subtle valve]

7.62 BP or 5.45BP?

[split moat]

545

[subtle valve]

Check stats, anything below 55 pen is BAD

Then no wonder you died, he has 100 durability class 6 helmet on him 😄

With stuff like that you can still win, but you must aim lower thorax, if he has Tagilla armored vest then it protects only upper thorax

[split moat]

ill try it again, just gets frustrating after awhile

[short breach]

lower?

i think best try to kill in neck

[finite tide]

If you’re using 545 you wanna use bs or igolnik

[vernal spindle]

You wished it into existence, found 2 in 1 raid

[simple briar]

For Capturing Outpost are night or day raids better? During day AI has better sight and possibly can push you from further away

[clever yarrow]

It’s the reason why I just hate the pvp meta rn

[karmic nexus]

Bro I just got to Labyrinth door and forgot to top up on all my stims, I dont have a weight stim Rip

[clever yarrow]

Forcing users to run only certain ammo types cause it’s the only competitive option

[ivory kayak]

Sorry for the dumb question folks…xp grinding? Is it just farm labs raiders the best way?

[bronze saddle]

well..... what a fucking disappointment... i should have just played dumb and not go to that fucking genetics institude.. mofos treated me like an animal

[warm breach]

7 hours til scav case is done. Soooooooon. It took me 17 raids to find my last skull ring

[short breach]

farm labyrinth

[ivory kayak]

Yeaaaa so I didn’t reset pve lol

[short breach]

[astral kindle]

Ragman bater got fully removed?

[worthy otter]

Labrynth has been a story chapter since 1.0

To access it you either need to begin that story chapter or get really lucky from Tagilla

[cursive summit]

You could have bought the skull ring

[trim kettle]

Nikita is russian kojima btw

[ivory kayak]

Wait so I can get to labrynth without resetting? I don’t have story chapters at all

[astral kindle]

Though old barters from side quest would stayed for people who finished my them before 1.0

[stone goblet]

if you get a keycard rarely from tagilla you can

but that is the only way

[cursive summit]

Except with only not so great ideas, but he can have some good ideas o guess

[warm breach]

said it has to be found in raid

[worthy otter]

No

[astral kindle]

I see, well you learn something everyday

[glacial osprey]

no, 545 bp is not a good ammo

[warm breach]

Most AI and scavs dont have higher than class 4 armor

BP's 45 pen is good enough for general purpose

[cursive summit]

What you on about?, it's quite good

[worthy otter]

English only

[cursive summit]

What za russian?

[drowsy juniper]

lmao christmas tree still here?

[short breach]

[glacial osprey]

for labrynth? no

[glacial osprey]

never, brother, never

[cursive summit]

Still good, just y'know there's obviously always better options

[short breach]

[warm breach]

That reminds me. I need to figure out what quests get labyrinth unlocked for me. ive never been

[split moat]

i said last time i went i used bp.

[worthy otter]

Labyrinth unlocks Labyrinth

[glacial osprey]

labrynth has some great loot

[subtle valve]

You need the story chapter "The Labirynth"

[warm breach]

ive only ever seen one keycard for it

[subtle valve]

Yes... but not worth the effort tbh

[warm breach]

so i havnt really thought about it

[glacial osprey]

you also need a knossos llc jey

[glacial osprey]

why? money money money

[warm breach]

i have found that one

[subtle valve]

Spamming quick lab raids is more efficient

[warm breach]

its a story quest? hmm. dunno how to trigger it

[subtle valve]

You can clear half of labs and kill few pmc in 10 minutes and extract
For Labrys you need at least 6 minutes just to sprint to the entrance

[glacial osprey]

may be. but labs is boring

[worthy otter]

You just go to the door at the resort and the chapter will begin, that’s it, there is no task

[subtle valve]

Tbh, I've got to a point where labrys is boring too :/

[warm breach]

ill have to find that then. much appreciated!

[glacial osprey]

same

[subtle valve]

There is the Hidden Layer quest and so on related to this

My only reason to run Labrys again and again is finding that 5th Labrys notes documents for quest... It refuses to spawn

Someone here wrote that 1 is guaranteed to spawn but that is a lie

[worthy otter]

Hidden Layer does not unlock Labyrinth, The Labyrinth story chapter unlocks it

[subtle valve]

I did not write that it is mandatory to get the story chapter, but there is non story related quest to get to the door 🙂

[worthy otter]

We’re talking about accessing The Labyrinth, Hidden Layer is not how you access it

[subtle valve]

That is true, I did not ment to impose that it is needed

Just a helpful side quest that might lead you to start that story chapter cuz you want the side quest done

[warm breach]

so you said resort right? that'll be... fun i guess

at least i know it better than the other two maps im nervous about. still nervous about shoreline

[lusty magnet]

i can help if ya like

[subtle valve]

Resort is fine, it is actually the easies spot to fight Sanitar

If they sit inside one of the storage rooms you can kill all four with single nade

[warm breach]

its not the fights, im confident with bosses (glucose still sucks)

Its the map knowledge for extracts, i dunno shit

[jolly bough]

I just died to zyrachi apperantly shooting me in the head. but on my screen i didnt die it just faded to black? (context i was fighting zyrachi for snowball)

[subtle valve]

Labirynth is easy as F regarding the map, just watch out for the traps

[lusty magnet]

snowball is bugged atm i wouldnt do it as you wont recieve it, my buddy still has his glitch were everytime he loads into a game it says he unlock it

[warm breach]

talking specifically about shoreline. reserve and lighthouse are on that list too

[subtle valve]

The counter is bugged, but if you count it yourself and really do it it will complete for good

[subtle valve]

There is always available path to lh as an extract and you need 6 minutes to get there without stamina injectors. All you need to learn 😛

At night watch out for cultists there

[lusty magnet]

well my buddy did his in one life and its still messed up, it pops up everytime he loads into raid at the bottom right of the screen saying its achieved but its not working

[subtle valve]

Then for sure he did not do all on 1 life

The bug is that counter does not reset, so it shows it wrong and early pops as completed

[lusty magnet]

he did do it in one life watch him from start to finish

[subtle valve]

I am also affected by it

[warm breach]

Man... i just mowed down reshala in dorms, hunting for PMCs for Test Drive part 3... no PMCs and even reshalas loot feels lacking

Ah well, the XP will be nice

[distant obsidian]

The theory is it is a local bug. Kills in local are not counting properly

[maiden garnet]

Is the Christmas tree still up?

[drowsy juniper]

yes

[maiden garnet]

Weird

[manic harness]

best cult circle sacrifice?

[drowsy juniper]

?circle

??circle

[quasi apex]

The cheapest confirmed circle recipes are all from Peacekeeper, here they are listed per trader level.
LL1 - 5 mp5's
LL2 - 2 MPX Suppressed #eft-chat message
LL3 - Flea dependent - G28 barter #eft-chat message (1 labs card)
LL4 - THOR IC armor⁠ #eft-chat message (1 sas drive)

[lusty magnet]

that could be true, as some of the kills where local as its when we were force to do local due to servers

[distant obsidian]

Mhm. All we can do is wait. I'm nearly done it, might finish it and wait as well

[warm breach]

also tempting. meant to respond to this. ill let ya know if i need it

[lusty magnet]

i know another guy who had the achievement ready for anything also bug out and do the same thing, so yeah just going to have to wait

[lusty magnet]

np, im currently running it for xp farming so i dont mind helping, while i'm doing it

[warm breach]

i need to get more ammo that'd be good for it unfortunately

My most plentiful good ammo is BT and thats not gonna cut it

[lusty magnet]

i can let you have the ammo from killa and tagilla, all tho did you have the keycard barter

[warm breach]

the what now?

[lusty magnet]

you need the labrynth keycard to get into the labyrnth

[warm breach]

yeah, ive found one, no other access currently

[lusty magnet]

you have to go into shorline to start the story chapter, then talk to jeager, then wait a day to get the barter

[warm breach]

gotcha

you know to that note, i havnt found many labs keycards recently either

[lusty magnet]

you cant get them from tagilla, but besides that the only main way is the barter

[long tinsel]

Soooo..... when is the winter stuff supposed to end? I thought it was yesterday yet its still here?

[warm breach]

i dunno but imma keep printing trim until it goes away

[marble bronze]

If only there was something worthwhile that took just reds

And don't say the AK308, that thing sucks

[warm breach]

trims cost 3 reds

[marble bronze]

Yeah but all I have is reds right now

Burned off everything else doing mules and other shit 😂

[latent sierra]

have they giga nerfed marked rooms or am i just super unlucky? spent 15 mil on dorm marked. 4 opens and ive gotten stuff worth maybe 600k.

[warm breach]

So just for clarification I need to go to the basement in west resort and go to the door and that'll start the story quest for labyrinth?

[opaque ember]

Why do so many people hate PvE?

[stable canyon]

don't even start

[latent sierra]

cuz they cant imagine people having fun in the game without pvp fighting

[lusty magnet]

yes

[opaque ember]

I was watching the video by verybadscav and they are just complaining about it

[stable canyon]

people hate everything they do differently, that's just how it is. not even worth a discussion

[warm breach]

ok, here goes

[long tinsel]

If theres a topic... there will be complaints... can't please everyone. and not to mention... some people complain just to complain...

[warm breach]

i can never find the road to lighthosue extract

[lusty magnet]

since im already going there i can guide you to it

[opaque ember]

I was just asking a question ☹️

[warm breach]

uhhhh yeah sure

[long tinsel]

if you use the fandom.wiki it has nice maps to help ya

[warm breach]

the maps are useless for locating that exfil

[tiny thorn]

The tarkov dev website has interactive maps

[hazy gorge]

[tiny thorn]

I use it all the time

[long tinsel]

Not really just need to get to know them a little better. once you reach it a time or 2 youll find it no problem

[lusty magnet]

i sent a pve vc link to you or you can find me in pve 20

[lavish socket]

Morning lads, how are da raids today

[dreamy ore]

good to know, thank you

[tulip mesa]

TIL raising FOV increases performance in Tarkov, quite something

[rocky geyser]

first time i run into goons on customs, damn i didnt miss these assholes

[bronze saddle]

lucky you.... lvl 46 and not a single gooner encounter

[left locust]

Okay really why tree still here, is there follow up event? there was some leak about event coming

[rocky geyser]

well i just got head jaw by birdeye after killing two, so i wont call it luck haha

[bronze saddle]

i dont mind.... im piling up salads like its xmas lol... oh wait its still xmas in tarkov

[rocky geyser]

Also the first time since wipe and i'm 36 xd

[dreamy ore]

I've been seeing a problem over the last 4-6 days of Tarkov local hanging on load. Sometimes it completes, sometimes it never completes. I did make some graphics changes last week.

The game has never behaved like this before. Wondering if it's the latest Nvidia drivers

[clever thunder]

It's not Nvidia, I updated no issues

[marble bronze]

Same, only saw them once early in the wipe. Stole Birdy's m10

[glass jasper]

how rare are marked rooms key's on scavs?

[distant obsidian]

Rare

[marble bronze]

Shame it only goes to 75

[distant obsidian]

It also can throw off your optics

Off center if it's to high. Used to at least. Usually an FOV over 69 was never recommended

69 being the max before things start to get weird

[loud raptor]

360 degrees fov

[glass jasper]

i just found rb-bk on scav :D

[marble bronze]

I'm here to tell ya 69 ain't enough... Neither is 75 😂

[supple island]

67

[supple island]

3 out of like 600 raids worth of scavs

[loud raptor]

Yeah put six seven

[formal haven]

Best spots for blue intelligence?

[loud raptor]

Labs or labrys tbh

[supple island]

labs black room

[hazy gorge]

49 more lvls to go in arena battlepass

this is gonna take a while

[supple island]

49 noob

[loud raptor]

It’s like 4 levels a day and weekly gives like 3 levels

[shy thorn]

I am really scared of going into reserve or shoreline solo , any tips? I am kinda scared of new maps and i am only level 20. I usually play woods, customs,factory, gz

[hazy gorge]

ion play arena a lot bruv

[loud raptor]

I’d say you will have more fun on reserve than shoreline

[hazy gorge]

so lvl 61 in the battlepass is decent

finally modded my as val fully

[supple island]

just do your dailies

[hazy gorge]

i do

[loud raptor]

The battlepass is there since before 1.0 so it should be completed already

[hazy gorge]

i was like lvl 50 yesterday

[supple island]

now you can jam after killing 2 people

[hazy gorge]

i started arena like a month ago

playing it once a week

[loud raptor]

Val is goated

[hazy gorge]

val goated

jamming is a problem

[loud raptor]

It only has spp iirc

or pab9 but they didn’t add sp6

[hazy gorge]

pab-9

pab-9 is decent

good round

[loud raptor]

Yes

I want the new guns in arena

[hazy gorge]

Last hero lowkey more fun than checkpoint

[mystic marsh]

Best gun in EFT is

||blicky||

[distant obsidian]

It's more then enough with how tarkov uses FOV. It's not width.

[bronze saddle]

Reshala dead ass bailed out on me... how?

blud saw me killing all 4 of his guards within 5 seconds and he just hoaled ass away from dorms... you dont do that!

[mystic marsh]

Ledx sacrifice

Damn it, who told me that brown folder is a guaranteed spawn? Went to the interchange tagilla's hideout, killed tagilla while shitting myself (was my first ever tagilla kill), only to not get the intel

[distant obsidian]

Res room in labs

[mystic marsh]

Legit I looked all over the place in the spawns and it was nowhere

Overall very useless hideout it was, legit no good loot

[finite tide]

santa still here?

[distant obsidian]

Then you didn't look everywhere. It's got 5 spawns

[mystic marsh]

The boss didn't drop anything noteworthy either

[mystic marsh]

I looked everywhere it was not present

[gaunt rune]

I wish him and his furry scavs were gone but not yet

[mystic marsh]

I cannot get fucking Intel center 2 because of that, reeee

[finite tide]

what the fuck is bsg doing they were supposed to be gone yesterday

[mystic marsh]

Wiki also doesn't even say it's even guaranteed to spawn there

[distant obsidian]

Then you didn't look everywhere like I said

[mystic marsh]

I did

[distant obsidian]

Google a vid on it. It has 5 spawns

[finite tide]

brown folder?

[mystic marsh]

I checked all five

[distant obsidian]

I'm not going to argue. You did not

[gaunt rune]

idk, people say pve stuff takes longer to modify compared to pvp

[mystic marsh]

I did and it was not present

[distant obsidian]

Ok then fine, only you don't get it

[mystic marsh]

Or it can just not spawn sometimes

[distant obsidian]

Again, I'm not going to argue

[toxic garnet]

did they put out any annoucements on server status or problems, i havent been able to log in for the past 5 hours

[distant obsidian]

Modify what?

[distant obsidian]

No issues recorded.

[finite tide]

dude will only say its your fault dont bother explaining he wont listen hes a brick wall

[mystic marsh]

Yeah people love being rude instead of being sympathetic

And when you point that out you get muted btw

Is it really that hard to say "it sucks that it didn't spawn, man"

[gaunt rune]

oh that's me translating in my head and typing it wrong, actually meant "change"

[distant obsidian]

All you want to do is argue here scout. Stop fighting with everyone

[cosmic patrol]

[mystic marsh]

I legit don't want to argue you stupid

[distant obsidian]

But change what? I'm missing something

[mystic marsh]

It's not that deep, not that hard to say "it sucks, man" instead of being condescending

[distant obsidian]

It's 100% spawn chance

Last I am saying about it

[mystic marsh]

It's not because it wasn't there

[gaunt rune]

I heard stuff takes longer to change in pve compared to pvp.. like they change some stuff in pvp but it takes longer to apply to pve as well, but idk

[distant obsidian]

Naw. We both play the same game. I'm sure they have to do some changes twice to both versions. But at this point everything is synced

[gaunt rune]

oh I see

[mystic marsh]

Now watch chekannaya mute me for "being mean"

[distant obsidian]

It's def possible of course things could take a little longer in PvE. But that doesn't mean we won't all get the same content at the same time

[gaunt rune]

so pvp is also still riddled with furry scavs?

[lavish grotto]

yes

[distant obsidian]

Probably yes? I haven't been on.

[gaunt rune]

[lavish grotto]

tree still there too

[distant obsidian]

Ah

[gaunt rune]

keep tree, remove furries

[mystic marsh]

Remove tree, remove furries, remove ded, remove ornaments, remove snow

[gaunt rune]

voteban 1

[mystic marsh]

Let me play the normal game 😭

[finite tide]

remove santa dude is a fat prick

[mystic marsh]

He can spawn good shit sometimes

[gaunt rune]

[finite tide]

always stealing my milk cookies

[mystic marsh]

Ded gave me moonshine several times

[finite tide]

hell yeah

[gaunt rune]

is he ever full aggro? because I kill him everytime, some raids he seems to avoid me... but never shoot on sight

[distant obsidian]

Christmas stuff needs to goyeah. It taking up rare spawns is annoying at this point

I did all the crafts from the tree I needed.

[finite tide]

sometimes he shoots me and i dont even do anything to him

[distant obsidian]

If you kill rogues he's agro for 3 raids. Killing him does not agro

[gaunt rune]

so fun to walk into a labs room with a ornament instead of good loot

[distant obsidian]

Shooting him agros of course. But if you kill he's fine in all other raids

[gaunt rune]

fun, ez headshot exp

[distant obsidian]

Yeah, every year it's the same. They take up so many rare spawns lol

[mystic marsh]

The only good thing you can craft from the ornaments is ledx, too, and you need a shit ton of those to the point where it's barely worth it

[finite tide]

mule

[distant obsidian]

Plate case was a great craft to. Saved a lot of money

[rose cradle]

^ mule

[distant obsidian]

I crafted about 10 LEDs or so

[finite tide]

new guns are good too

[distant obsidian]

Crafting the new guns was cool as well

[mystic marsh]

My favorite is the vss

[rose cradle]

Nl545 craft was pretty sick ngl

[gaunt rune]

but I still need 3 streamer items, when I'm able to play I'm gonna hit the tree in customs a few times, relax room in streets is good also right?

[rose cradle]

Mid tier but yea . I ran labs for all.mine

[finite tide]

i like the 308 ak

[distant obsidian]

Interchange tree is easier. Way less fighting needed and quicker extracts

[mystic marsh]

Being able to craft surv12 on medical 3 is so awesome

[brisk plank]

Even if I don't use the firework thingy today, will it still be working after the kolotun event ends?

[gaunt rune]

need bake ez, nutclava and john b

[finite tide]

no

[distant obsidian]

That event is long over

[gaunt rune]

oh I never went there, probably better since interchange med rooms are putting out for me, thx!

[distant obsidian]

Fireworks should still work. They worked last year

[brisk plank]

Hmm, I got one the other day tho 😅

[distant obsidian]

Yeah, hit those as well for some cash. Eeeeeaassyyyy

[rose cradle]

John b , interchange . There's always 1 scav with the drip . Nut Clava can be found usually the same way

Bake ez, good luck

[distant obsidian]

They should work after the Christmas stuff is over

[brisk plank]

Neat, thanks

[gaunt rune]

which is funny, my only bake ez this wipe I found very early. And kept in my bum

[mystic marsh]

Is bake ez rare?

I found many

[distant obsidian]

Np

[gaunt rune]

yeah it's one of those, never rare

unless you need one

it's gonna be my first kappa too

[mystic marsh]

I mean I currently need one cpu for a quest and all computers I've checked had anything but

[finite tide]

keep looting safes

[vale atlas]

i remember when i couldn't stop finding electric drills

I have found 3 total since i started pve

its not been great

[mystic marsh]

SAME

I see that blue drill in my nightmares

[distant obsidian]

I know this game to well, I never had any issues finding anything I needed lol

[mystic marsh]

To the point when if I find one imma head to extract ASAP

[vale atlas]

Elite pliers seem to be hiding from me on purpose too

[mystic marsh]

Found many because I don't need them

[vale atlas]

lmao yup, these things are rarer than platinum as far as i'm concerned, if i get one i'm out

[distant obsidian]

I was hung up by a fireklean though.

[vale atlas]

I can see that being a fuck

I got a bunch in a row from near the christmas tree but i know if i actively wanted to find one i wouldn't

[mystic marsh]

Didn't even know you need a fir fireclean, found several and even sold some. Thank God I kept one

Watch this message get deleted

[gaunt rune]

game knowledge is something else, because if I knew I'd need to keep 4 respirators because an event would dillute the facewear pool from scavs... I'd kept them

[vale atlas]

oh is that another one you cant mention

[distant obsidian]

Ye

[mystic marsh]

Because "le datamine how could you"

[vale atlas]

I'm not in the know

[distant obsidian]

Can't mention data mining sites.

[vale atlas]

Ah yeah i had this before when i tried to remember a site that may or may not have existed

[distant obsidian]

That's why we let you know. It's all g

[vale atlas]

apparentlyit did and was a datamined one lol

[mystic marsh]

You've committed the cardinal sin of using a basic necessity website for this extremely complicated game, your sentence is death via a firing squad, execution is tomorrow

[distant obsidian]

Uh no

It's just TOS and we can't talk TOS thing. Discord rules follow game rules.

[vale atlas]

Partnered server problems

[distant obsidian]

Official server.

[mystic marsh]

This is why I hate partnered servers

[vale atlas]

Oh well there it is lol

[mystic marsh]

Mods have an awl up their ass all the damn time on the servers like this

[safe igloo]

are servers cooked rn?

[rustic cobalt]

did they change terminal to where you can attempt it with friends now?

[distant obsidian]

Yeah, it's all good if you mention something by accident. If we don't catch it, mods generally give a warning unless your blatantly disregarding warnings

[clever yarrow]

I’m still waiting for them to add the Ace Gen 1 Galil

[distant obsidian]

Yes

#eft-announcements

[mystic marsh]

Big if true

[rustic cobalt]

they changed it 1 week after I escaped 😭 now I can’t run it with my friends

rip

[mystic marsh]

At least you escaped for the sake of all of us

[vernal plinth]

Is anyone having a backend error at the end of raid where all raid progress is lost?

[mystic marsh]

How difficult were the bd?

[distant obsidian]

Maybe one day but it's never been talked about. Post it on the suggestion website

[vale atlas]

Seen a couple of complaints about server issues in the last couple of minutes lol, probably some momentary fuckery

[rustic cobalt]

horrendous especially since I did it post armory fix, it took me over 10 tries

[mystic marsh]

Ten tries isn't actually that bad

[rustic cobalt]

having to actually fight them instead of them funneling a doorway made it that much harder

[vernal plinth]

It's happened twice in a row I just don't want to go in again and do the same talk over again haha

[mystic marsh]

Heard some people say they were on attempt 20+

[rustic cobalt]

it was like 12-14 in total

[vernal plinth]

task*

[mystic marsh]

I lowkey wanna escape for humanity but it's gonna be so hard to do

[vale atlas]

Yeah i get your pain, had that a few times when i was trying to extract with things i desperately needed for progress lol

[rustic cobalt]

I was able to do it when I swapped from a model 1 to a tx-15

[reef furnace]

Did my first labyrinth alone

[distant obsidian]

W

[vale atlas]

does tx-15 take 60's? i haven't really played around with that

[mystic marsh]

Survived?

[rustic cobalt]

fuck full auto tx-15 for life

[reef furnace]

Got 4 drums of MAI AP and 3 drums full of AP-20

[rustic cobalt]

yeah it does

[reef furnace]

[mystic marsh]

Big if true

[distant obsidian]

Tx is generally not good because 556 isn't a great round

[vale atlas]

Ooooh

Idk, the high end ammo still does work, just not as well as it used to

[distant obsidian]

M4 can do exactly what the tx can just better. Tx is a good gun, just single fire 556 is lul

[vale atlas]

You just have to be shooting sooner lol

[rose cradle]

I found mine in double black labs... must've been the best recipes E V E R

[rustic cobalt]

I basically took a tx-15, modded it with model 1 furnishing, slapped a vortex on and 60 rounders full of m995 and I escaped that run

[vale atlas]

Not sure how well it would go in semi auto but if you've got real good aim maybe

[rustic cobalt]

if you have a trigger finger it will be so good

[distant obsidian]

You need to head click anyways so

[rose cradle]

Not if... there's no choice with semi.. be a good shot or die xD

[distant obsidian]

Tx def works. Regardless of the round you need to hit heads

[mystic marsh]

Iirc bd aim specifically for your face

[reef furnace]

#screenshots

[vale atlas]

I've mostly been using my guns in semi auto lol, it was the only way to discipline myseff to stop fucking away all my ammo

[rustic cobalt]

sometimes you’ll get lucky and they’ll hit every limb except your face

[rose cradle]

I prefer the m4 just in case I need a couple more. I always burst fire it at heads

[distant obsidian]

Center mass and head. It's why you should NOT jump peak or anything BD

[vale atlas]

Except mp7 because the ap sx can't headshot

[rustic cobalt]

sometimes you’ll get wall banged through a container

[mystic marsh]

Fire

[rustic cobalt]

and pre fired

[distant obsidian]

They can walk bang for sure.

Hard cover only. Don't risk with pennable cover

[rare field]

[vale atlas]

Do we know if its intentional or just AI being AI

[distant obsidian]

What intentional?

[rustic cobalt]

on my second best run I got wallbanged headshot through a container at the pier

[vale atlas]

Them wallbanging us lol

[rustic cobalt]

shit made me so fucking mad

[distant obsidian]

Of course it is

[mystic marsh]

BD are evil

They are overtuned imho

[reef furnace]

Cultists got wallbang aim too

[mystic marsh]

Like "yeah let's just give them aimbot"

[reef furnace]

Almost died once fighting them cause they were aimbotting me ass through reshala's bunkhouse

[distant obsidian]

Not over tuned.

Not everyone is meant to escape

[mystic marsh]

So true so true

[rose cradle]

Its 100% intentional , probably their way of making the game even more torturous

[distant obsidian]

BD are a massive skill and luck check

[mystic marsh]

They really don't want people to have fun

[rustic cobalt]

i think it’s good that they’re as good as they are, they’re terragroup’s hitmen basically, little to no emotion, hella drugged up on Terragroup stims and they know you’re the target

[vale atlas]

Yeah i wasn't sure if this was a "Lets ramp up the difficulty a little for them" situation or a "The AI doesn't know a wall is there" one lol

[mystic marsh]

Fun? In tarkov? Wrong city, wrong people

[rose cradle]

My point exactly

[rustic cobalt]

it took me hella tries and it was hella frustrating but making it was so fucking satisfying and worth it

[mystic marsh]

Tbf you only need to succeed once

Then you get bragging rights for life

[rose cradle]

Yea ima have to run the db shotty against cultist soon. Thinking fortress camp them?

[mystic marsh]

And finally get to uninstall this dogshit game

[rose cradle]

Make them push me?

[marsh wing]

are you serious.... The tree is still here?

[keen night]

the tree is still here and fireworks still spawn

[gaunt rune]

are you serious.... furries still here?

[mystic marsh]

The tree be like "just let me die"
Nikita: No, I want you to suffer

[rustic cobalt]

maybe if you’re lucky you can run up on one while they are “hiding”

[marsh wing]

yup

[marble bronze]

I'm sitting here at 75 and wishing I had more. You gonna tell me I don't need more?

[mystic marsh]

Furries prevent you from doing punisher part 2 btw

[distant obsidian]

No, you probably need less

[rose cradle]

Yea im low-key debating after I complete all my goals and 100% tarkov , I want to find something new or old but coming back yk? Tempted to go play Minecraft again after this xD my ass needs a rest after all this pounding

[mystic marsh]

Since scav halfmasks don't spawn

[marsh wing]

i need to be honest guys. It's my fault the tree is still alive.#screenshots message

[mystic marsh]

I have found a few on pmcs but it's so rare

[rustic cobalt]

the rewards for doing savior ending was so fuckin nice, having 4 thicc weapons and item cases an all that ammo and guns and shit

[keen night]

just hunt raider for half mask

[gaunt rune]

6h circle, I'm getting my 4 respirators

[rustic cobalt]

and the dog tag that my friends can’t put into their pouch when I die

[marble bronze]

They're on PMC all the time

[mystic marsh]

And the best part is, being able to delete the game

[rose cradle]

Ye I got 3 thicc cases a 2 thick weapons already so im prepping

[mystic marsh]

I found like two so far 😭

[rose cradle]

Farm the pmcs on interchange, power escalators, and Emercom are the Hotspot + tagilla

I got all mine a LONG time ago

[glacial osprey]

oh i did that. run it like 15-20 times

[rustic cobalt]

i do wanna help my friends escape when I come back to gaming so that’s pretty much my sole motivation other than getting all tasks and achievements that I can

[mystic marsh]

👑

[rustic cobalt]

all I can do is get them to the RU base gate and wave while they run their attempts together 😭

[mystic marsh]

I killed tagilla today for the first time, solo too

[rose cradle]

Yea i wanna be a Sherpa later on for prolly a couple newbies...pass on my knowledge and poof like a cryptid
