[tribal pollen]

rn im taking advantage im underweight and using my speed to beat him to the pmcs

[hazy gorge]

Just use post FX

To see at night

[obsidian linden]

Yea but then your game looks ugly

[hazy gorge]

Ehhh

Rather do that than not being able to see

[obsidian linden]

Could just do em during the day

[finite tide]

Thought you couldn’t do that anymore

[hazy gorge]

Ye

But if you go at night

No nvgs

[obsidian linden]

Probably, I haven't messed with Post FX since 2022 so idk

[finite tide]

They took out some of the post fx settings

[hazy gorge]

I dont use the in game post FX

[finite agate]

Literally the only time I use postfx is to monochrome NVGs

[gaunt flume]

anyone got tips for getting theta...

[hazy gorge]

Be good

[gaunt flume]

being good doesnt mean much when my teammate is going 4 and 38

[hazy gorge]

If youre good enough you can carry

[gaunt flume]

mvp 3 games in a row and for what

[hazy gorge]

Nah im trolling

Most of these tasks are rng

[gaunt flume]

it also doesnt help that im having to fight against every single player with a cqcm because im not level fucking 15

or a maska

[hazy gorge]

For your team to have enough braincells

[hazy gorge]

Cqcm arent that good

Almost every round pens it

[gaunt flume]

they definitely save other peoples lives more than they do mine

[hazy gorge]

Yeah high chance to richochet

[tribal pollen]

i just got 2 tapped by a vpo scav while i was mid air

🥀

[hazy gorge]

As i said most of these tasks are mostly rng to get a decent team

And not a enemy team full of 4k hour tarkov pvp chads

[gaunt flume]

id literally rather have to do reserve locational scav kills 5 times over than play this shit just to have obtained theta

[hazy gorge]

If youre decent then teamfight might be the way

Since its mostly just kills

Kill shit = win

[gaunt flume]

teamfight will probably stress me out more than chp will

[hazy gorge]

Maybe

But easier to win

I Play last hero just to kill stuff

[obsidian linden]

Everytime I wear Full Protection body armor and still get one tapped in the "Thorax" an orphanage is hit with a Hellfire missile

At this point I might aswell just run naked cause I either don't get shot at all or the one shot that does hit me is an instakill because BSG can't program for shit

[pseudo tulip]

I use a ghoul mask and hex carrier

cause helms are near useless

[short rivet]

slam your head against the wall and hope it works. you will just have to brute force it

[obsidian linden]

I've found the AI targetting to be insanely weird

[pseudo tulip]

my bad i thought topic was arena

[gaunt flume]

i just mistakenly played voron and went 2 with 8 assists in teamfight

460 damage to a single fucking dude

and still didnt kill him!

[obsidian linden]

The entire frostbite event where I'm wearing a ski hat I don't get headshot once, literally the first raid I wear an actual helmet and I end up bouncing like 5 shots off of it

[pseudo tulip]

strike fear into your opponents as you turn a corner #screenshots message

[obsidian linden]

I don't know what dark magic BSG is using for their Scavs but their whole tracking/targetting system has been dogshit for years and it's barely gotten better

[short rivet]

please for all thats holy just play checkpoint its more casual than the rest of the game modes

[gaunt flume]

ive been playing checkpoint for 4 hours.

i am not playing another match with someone who goes 4 and 48.

[short rivet]

took me around 12 hours in total to get it done

so welcome to the grind. on the bright side youre leveling the battle pass.

[gaunt flume]

yeah for a shitty spin off i give zero fucks about

lol

i just want theta to knock it off the list of 'important' items

[tender parrot]

skills should reset when you transit to a new map, just ran marathon for 3 hours and got little to no skill points

skill cool downs*

[bleak idol]

if items are in my handbook but not in my quest inventory that means i can turn them in for the savior ending still right

[tender parrot]

servers down?

[astral kindle]

Yes because savior ending you will be giving notes/evidence, not actual quest items

[bleak idol]

ok bet, i did arrs correctly if the station spec sheet is in my notes right, i dont remember if i grabbed the flashdrive before or after i pressed the button

[crystal umbra]

20 factory raids and Secured Perimeter finally done.

Fuck this quest man, lmao

On the bright side, at least now I am no longer scared of Tagilla since fucker kept visiting the office area almost every raid

[fresh vault]

mine are

ABSOLUTE CINEMA

[solid nebula]

They can actually reset mid-raid! You just need to pass ~3 and a half minutes of not levelling up a skill and its diminishing returns reset

[terse fractal]

What happens if my game crashes while I'm in the lab? Can I reconnect?

There's no option for BSG servers

[final ravine]

Nope

Just resets as if the raid never happened

[terse fractal]

Including the access card?

[solid nebula]

Yes everything you came in with gets reset

Applies to all maps except Streets

Streets lets you rejoin

[final ravine]

Yep cuz streets is server-only

[solid nebula]

But it's because local games end if you DC, BSG raids stay active

Is there a way to mount two sights on an LMG?

I wanna put a thermal but also a regular sight

I can't figure it out

[final ravine]

Doubtful

[solid nebula]

I tried the M60 and the RPKD

Yeh sadness

[final ravine]

I dont think any of the mounts with rails on top are compatible with thermal mounts or just the straight up flir

[solid nebula]

That monstrous RPKD was a result of me trying every possible mount and add-on

[final ravine]

Other than maybe the thermal reflex sights

But those are trash tier not worth the pixels they take up in the game anyway

[solid nebula]

Agreed

I only liked the FLIR on snipers

The low zoom thermals felt weir

[light root]

not one dcleaner in 10 raids is insane

3 on reserve, 4 on ground zero, 3 on customs

[dusky magnet]

Are you sure you aren't looking at PS12A instead?

[subtle valve]

If anyone needs a normal item case I'll be selling two on the flea for 1M each 😄

Bought by some lvl54 sweat xD

[rare field]

[quaint lily]

Nah I'm good, earning the barter is way cheaper

[cerulean urchin]

took me a week to get mine lol

then got 4 the rest of that night lmao

[grizzled yoke]

at the start of 1.0 I knew that dcleaners were gonna be an issue

lucky scav runs came in clutch

[subtle valve]

Reserve is full of DCleaners, lol

[pastel hull]

ofz annoyed the shit outta me this wipe

[subtle valve]

Just raid or two to check the tech boxes and duffles and you're good

[pastel hull]

skill issue i must say

[spiral fulcrum]

i've been looking for 1 pair of pliers for over a week

the game really likes me

[maiden garnet]

what's that one quest you need for kappa at level 45 i cant remember the name of it

[snow stag]

For the 5 pmc kills in Interchange and shoreline, can you transfer to an other map and back for the "same" raid? or how did you guys do it?

[maiden garnet]

yes you can transit

thats what i ended up having to do for interchange specifically

[solid nebula]

Only 3 raids and my weapon is already at 84%

💔

[snow stag]

Thx m8

[solid nebula]

Prapor gives you the weirdest guns and goes "Yeah should be a beast go kill three hundred scavs with it and let me know"

[solid nebula]

Shoreline northern camp thingy

And also the area right next to car extract

Tons of loose tools and toolboxes

[spiral fulcrum]

tried it already 100 times and every other place

i have all the stuff to make the stuff behind the wall, i just need the pliers to knock the wall down thats how long i've been looking for them

[gaunt flume]

for two Arena matches in a row I get a team full of base kits against 4 spears

the way gear is handled in this shit is so terribly designed

[worthy otter]

That’s your teammates problem not the game

They are actively choosing to use shit presets

[short rivet]

i agree with check there. you can get a mutant as soon you boot up the game with the roubles you get after the tutorial so its a shit team mate issue

[cold panther]

Intimidator

[maiden garnet]

Thanks boss

[maiden garnet]

the humble cqcm sr-2m default kit

[cold panther]

That preset carried me early in arena

[golden narwhal]

In the Story chapter "The Unheard" after handing in the 5 mio rubs. Kerman should respond within a few hours... It's been days. Anyone got a quick fix? It says "Wait for news from Elektronik".

[maiden garnet]

try visiting the apartment

if you haven't already*

[weary ice]

Killa and Tagilla are 100% right now?

[golden narwhal]

Yeah thought the same. I just visited and hope that it triggered some timer. Thank you!

[weary ice]

On interchange

[maiden garnet]

no every boss is 75%

[weary ice]

Oh ok

[maiden garnet]

except goons, papa johns, and the other outliers

i really hate the nerfs to old black room

[grizzled yoke]

used to come out with a backpack full of stims now I only come out with 3 at best

[gaunt flume]

It is utterly insufferable

I’m beginning to question if I really want theta for the feeling of achievement or not

Maybe itd be easier with premade teammates but, I don’t know where to find that

[short rivet]

just do your arena dailies and gonna come naturally

[gaunt flume]

The issue is that I don’t play it daily because I find zero enjoyment in playing it

[short rivet]

if you dont enjoy it is there a reason to keep playing considering how easy it is to get KAPPA?

[maiden garnet]

im gonna be so real the effort isn't worth the 1 extra spot in your container especially since you're gonna be required to get Kappa in a few months if you want to play the game past one ending

[gaunt flume]

I want to have both kappa and theta just for achievement sakes

[short rivet]

Dont ruin your mental for bragging rights. its not worth it

[maiden garnet]

do you plan on prestiging?

[gaunt flume]

is that even a thing in pve

[maiden garnet]

it will be in 3-4 months

[gaunt flume]

Generally I have zero plans

id have to be max level with max in most skills to even consider prestiging

[maiden garnet]

basically what im trying to say is that one the prestige system comes out there's no reason to get attached to anything since you're basically just going to be going forward to wipe your account for better and better benefits

especially if you're not an EoD/Unheard player

[short rivet]

Are the Red Flare's worth it from ref?

[gaunt flume]

isn’t it all just cosmetic..

[maiden garnet]

i've found two back to back on labs violet and red room, green boxes

[maiden garnet]

5 or 6 gives you a free gamma container

[gaunt flume]

I’m eod

[split sorrel]

LF Nut Sack @PVE, last item needed for kappa. DM me if you got it on SCAV

[short rivet]

im just trying to see if its worth it since i only buy the Ulach's that can mount NVG's from him

[maiden garnet]

i dont think it's worth it since the airdrops never have anything good in them anyways

[finite agate]

Does Circulate (Ragman) cause the Drip out problem?

[trail crystal]

Finish ur drip out as fast as possible because cultists cycle may give you vests instead of actually rare items

Or don't accept it

[finite agate]

I havent accepted drip out, I was wondering if Circulate (turn in 250 bags) caused the same issue

Not that it matters, im stuck farming t6 ceramic plates bc of the zabralo quest

[trail crystal]

You need to lower it yes?

[finite agate]

Yeah last time I asked for help I got no bites

And its too early rn to try again, its 6am lmao

[trail crystal]

Ahh i could have helped but i am PvP

Try the sherpa server

People have same interests

[subtle valve]

What has 6b43 zabralo quest to do to ceramic plates?

[finite agate]

Cc keeps giving me fresh zabralos. I can't lower the dura fast enough to matter solo. Rinse repeat

Zabralo comes with ceramic plates

[lethal sinew]

u doijng what quest?

[subtle valve]

Explosve orange canisters? Doable in 1-2 raids

[finite agate]

Yeah I do t trust myself not to kms lmao

[lethal sinew]

so sew it good part something i guess?

[finite agate]

I just wear one while tasking other shit to do it passively

[finite agate]

4, I think

3

[subtle valve]

That will take absurd time, especially that you need sub 75% on soft armor only, and when playing with plates soft dura loss is minimal

[lethal sinew]

just go labs and do it

[subtle valve]

Just stand 5m from it (take rangefinder) and blow one

[finite agate]

Tbh would really have helped last raid, lever gun and 5.7 and got pinched by Kollontay guards at MVD farming ammo

[lethal sinew]

yuh

[finite agate]

Im not ready to touch labs yet, im super low on half decent ammo

[lethal sinew]

u dont need good ammo

[finite agate]

And I dont have enough cards to get what I need done

[lethal sinew]

ps ammo is good enough in there

[subtle valve]

Go customs, there are plenty of tanks on customs

[twilit heath]

are lions super rare now? i havent ran into one yet and its the last thing i need for a docs case D:

[proper spoke]

brother i used 9mm m822 in a vector to unlock labs then run labs when the wipe happened no one in theres wearing face shields

[finite agate]

Its definitely a skill issue, im not a head tapper lol

[compact folio]

kinda no

[lethal sinew]

its not about head tapping them

[subtle valve]

Kinda coommon on labs, I see 1-2 per raid

[compact folio]

found btc in safe 3 days ago

[finite agate]

vector doesn't care what ammo it has lol

[twilit heath]

my luck could just be super shit lol

[compact folio]

found it all in factory

[proper spoke]

The point of inclusion was using a super flat low recoil smg and a cheap red dot will dominate labs

[finite agate]

They definitely feel less common, I still need 1 more for scav case

[compact folio]

btw guys how can u get wd40 100ml without flee?

[bright sand]

toolboxes

[finite agate]

The problem is its been since 12.12.30 since I've run labs and I am NOT confident fighting raiders

[finite agate]

There's also a recipe for it, no?

[compact folio]

havent found a single one in 100 raids

[bright sand]

usually if you need something, tarkov wont spawn it

[finite agate]

Smugglers, trust

[compact folio]

thats a rule ong

[bright sand]

just keep searching for it.

[glacial osprey]

interchange oli

[twilit heath]

ive found it loose around interchange and customs

that one is a pesky one to find tho

[glacial osprey]

customs loose loot too, yeah

[short rivet]

When fighting raiders whatever you do dont peek the window in red and violet. you will and up getting head, eyesed. When i go into labs i mostly run a light tier 4 chest rig, Glorious E or Shattered facemask and Gssh's with whatever i have. 7.62x39 will serve you really well. its a mix of ok pen and good damage

[bright sand]

this is a good place too

[lethal sinew]

ego peek everything

[short rivet]

thats what the Glorious face mask is for. In RNG we thrust

[finite agate]

Yeah, R/V and when i happen to have a green card is where I end up stuck for 75% of the raid, in dont understand how to get them to break long enough to rotate away, nor do I understand how to rotate away

[lethal sinew]

nah we dontr need that or any armor only gun raid back pack all that u need in labs

[finite agate]

What in the drip or drown....

[short rivet]

nades. throwing one through the window will give you enough time to run to the bathroom or the stairwell. thats you best spots to fight them if they push you

[finite agate]

Audio is so fucked its hard to tell tbh

I miss steam audio, I had directional sound then 😫

I had a worse headset back then too, Krakens vs a50x's

[solid nebula]

MAN TAGILLA STOP SPAWNING I HAVE A 9MM AND I NEED 50 KILLS ON FACTORY PLEASE 💔

Killing him means I got 0 ammo left for the quest and I gotta leave 💔

[finite agate]

Tag is lw, I accidentally killed him on my 1st factory of 1.0 with an mp7a1 and didnt even realize I'd killed him until I exfil'd

[solid nebula]

LMAO did you hit his head from the back?

[lethal sinew]

u can easily kill tagilla with that i had no problem while doing test drive part whatever it was

[solid nebula]

Oh yeah I'm killing him, unfortunately my aim is bad so I am out of ammo by the time he's dead and I only have two other kills

[finite agate]

5

[solid nebula]

Yes

I need 8 more kills time to get this done

[finite tide]

i wish pmcs actually pushed you

[solid nebula]

I was tryna cheese him from atop the rails and by mistake fell on top of him, breaking my legs in the process

[finite agate]

Run a bagarly, bring 7 mags and about 350 spare boolet

[solid nebula]

Didn't end too well for me

[vale atlas]

Do we know when BSG decides spring is lol

[lethal sinew]

:DD

[vale atlas]

I desperately want the snow to fuck off

[maiden garnet]

do you still need help?

[stone goblet]

when its spring irl lmao

[finite agate]

They do though, got jumped at the start of the last raid off spawn trying to head towards TG armory from Expo. Between them and Kollontay at MVD I had to use more than half a Surv kit on my left arm (not counting me nading myself trying to thread the needle through MVD window bars.... twice)

[maiden garnet]

i can buy like 10 blickies and just shoot you on factory rq

[finite agate]

Yes but I'll have to wait for at least a few hours, wife is still asleep 😅

[vale atlas]

Thank you very specific

[lethal sinew]

:D

why want snow away? cus sometiems u just can't see shit? xd

[scarlet pier]

Interesting. I started Cultist Circle with a 6h timer, then after a while accepted the Ragman's quest Special Offer.
Now the circle is finished and it gave me Birdeye's backpack.

[vale atlas]

Gross its approximate

[finite agate]

6h is bugged btw, dont know if you've noticed

[scarlet pier]

bugged how?

[finite agate]

Sometimes meh, sometimes really super shit

[rich elbow]

anyone use the ronin for terminal? all around protection but BD is shooting straight through tier 4/5 anyway

[vale atlas]

I dont think thats a bug lol

Shitty results are a staple of the cultist circle

[scarlet pier]

Perhaps you have quests open that requires shitty stuff?

[vale atlas]

Sometimes yay, sometimes fuck

[spiral fulcrum]

wtf i just killed 2/3 goons 2 pmcs and died and i got 760 something exp?

[finite agate]

Be that as it may, the values dont line up

[vale atlas]

Correct

[rich elbow]

its not gambling if you win every time

[spiral fulcrum]

i kno i died but i swear i should still get more exp?

[scarlet pier]

All 6h circles rewards for me were something related to hideout or quest

[vale atlas]

Yup, it gets worse with some quests

Whats that ragman one that wants 50 rigs

That'll ruin your cultist results for a good amount of time lol

[finite agate]

"Recent reports show more low-value drops from the 6h timer. At the moment, 6h timers are not a 100% chance for quest/hideout items. It is unclear if this is a bug or intended behavior, so treat 6h rewards as inconsistent for quest/hideout progress."

[vale atlas]

Oh they're openly giving irrelevant shit? fun lol

[finite agate]

Yeah

[scarlet pier]

What is that from, if I may ask?

[vale atlas]

damn yeah thats 450k i wouldn't want to spend

[cursive abyss]

I only need 1 blank RFID card right?

[vale atlas]

I think its 450

[finite agate]

I've had several times where I get a singular small box of mid ammo

[rich elbow]

probably not lol you need to craft a new one every time

[scarlet pier]

a Thor is 60k on flea (SAS barter)

[vale atlas]

Oooh

To be fair i dont think i ever actually spent that much of my own money i usually just feed it random shit

[scarlet pier]

Same for me, I dont remember if 6h or 14h

[vale atlas]

Or the mp5's lol

But 450k is the value you're supposed to hit for the chance for the 6h i think

[stone goblet]

no

[finite agate]

Its 400k btw

[vale atlas]

fuck sake lol

[stone goblet]

400k for 25% at 6hr

[finite agate]

350k is 14hr

[lethal sinew]

350 14hr

[finite agate]

400k is chance at 6hr

[stone goblet]

??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)

[maiden garnet]

Now that you mention it I do see what you're talking about, every 6h craft I've gotten has been absolute dogshit and every 14 has given me almost exclusively FP-100 filters

[stone goblet]

all of the above are 400k sacrifices

[vale atlas]

Oh i wondered why i kept getting those fuckin filters

I thought it was just my time

[scarlet pier]

all my later cultist circles have been with the Thor, and I've got VPXs, tank batteries, power filters, cofdms, etc

[rare field]

and il still just use blue intel

[stone goblet]

overpaying 😭

[maiden garnet]

best thing ive gotten out of my cultist circle has been a yellow card in 1.0

[scarlet pier]

here and there some ammo boxes and labs cards

[vale atlas]

I've had a couple of black cards out of it

[rare field]

still profiting

[vale atlas]

I'm a fan

[maiden garnet]

my luck is dogshit ive fed scavs around 20 intel folders and the best thing ive gotten out of it sofar has been a USEC stash key

[lethal sinew]

[scarlet pier]

definitely better than the scammy scav case which brings me cans of salt

[bleak dirge]

Hi. My inventory file seems to be corrupted. Yesterday I tried to upgrade my Stash size; I was missing 2 Packs of Nails, so I bought them from the Market but they didn't show up. It kept saying 3/5. I tried everything: clearing the cache, going into a raid, discarding and re-buying... in the end, I sold all of them (the 3 Found-in-Raid and the ones from the Market) and went to bed.

I just bought one now and it still says 0/5.

What should I do?

PD. PVE

[rare field]

i bet noone ever told you to never use the intel in scav case

[scarlet pier]

they need to be found in raid

cant buy from flea

[maiden garnet]

clear cache, double check FIR needed, clear logs folder, try again. all else fails, send a ticket to support via the launcher

[finite agate]

As opposed to what? Moonshine is just as, if not worse, shit

[maiden garnet]

tarkov players vaguepost the most nonsensical things

[rare field]

moonshine better even though i just do 95k and 15k

[scarlet pier]

max I pay in the scav case is 95k

[solid nebula]

I just got a blank RFID card and a Pfilter from a 95k scav case

Absolute gambling

[maiden garnet]

ive been pulling intel folders every other raid from labs id rather dump the 400k on trying to finally get a marked key instead of flea

[scarlet pier]

all right, that gives me hope lol

[vale atlas]

Time to find out what my cultist and moonshine brang

[maiden garnet]

ive gotten a grand total of one usable marked key and that was 314

[vale atlas]

oh shit

[finite agate]

Just buy one? I picked one up earlier today, fully fresh, for 9m

[vale atlas]

#screenshots message hehe

[rare field]

i has to many marked keys

[bleak dirge]

Now that I look closely, I see it has the FIR tick. Thx boys.

[maiden garnet]

im going for specifically the reserve marked keys and everytime i check they're easily over 14m for the ones i actually need

[finite agate]

And I'll barter for it again and sell it since I have the reserve set

[maiden garnet]

wana get that TKPD unlocked

[vale atlas]

Sigh, scav case brought me a beard and an rsass lol

[finite agate]

Ope, didnt mean to rub salt to the wound lol

[vale atlas]

Gonna stay content with my free 314 though, easy money

[solid nebula]

I tried 314 once and found a black keycard

[vale atlas]

Oh i'm just selling the key itself

[solid nebula]

Literally nothing else tho

[vale atlas]

I get shit luck in that room lol

[solid nebula]

How good do they sell?

[vale atlas]

Have opened it to literal nothing

[finite agate]

Have you run any RBK? someone brought me along and gave me the loot in there very early on, had a full streets set and VO/PKPM

[solid nebula]

Do people buy them actually?

[vale atlas]

4 mill lowest atm

[maiden garnet]

they sell 100% of the time every time because of The Bug™ but thats besides the point

[vale atlas]

"The bug"?

[maiden garnet]

and also story requirements

[finite agate]

I just bought my 1st for 9m for a full one

[maiden garnet]

i cant give details bc ill get banned

[solid nebula]

Is that the bunker one? I ran it once and it literally only had 3 guns and 10 batteries ( D and AA) not a single valuable

[vale atlas]

Ah right

[finite agate]

Pkpm is 50/50 on if it hits. If it hits, IT HITS. Also yeah bunker

[maiden garnet]

afaik pkpm has the highest chance of spawning red rebels

[rare field]

about to start a petition that used keys should not be able to be sold on the flea

[maiden garnet]

there's like 3-4 melee spawns in that room

[vale atlas]

I've had two of those from scavs lately lol

Best source of red rebel

[finite agate]

Pkpm is also where I got my inj case

Depleted half a Streets set looking for it

[golden tusk]

i just killed killa for the first time! shouldn't be so scary anymore now that I know I can do it

[finite agate]

Yeah he's ez with good ammo and the right set up

[golden tusk]

i had 556 a1, was hoping to just pop in and plant the stuff and leave but he was right at the door ready for the jump scare

[vocal holly]

Once you learn the main mechanic for Killa, he's super easy. He can't fire standing up, he must crouch. If you come across him, make him run to you and be ready to just mag dump his face.

[vale atlas]

just remember to take grenades in with you to help find him

[marble dome]

I avoid factory like a plague because tagilla scares the 💩 out of me,
Interchange is fine I just avoid killa aswell.

Run away! Run away!

[finite agate]

I've walked him down in Oli with a suboptimal kit for killing him, think I had a mutant and just hosed his legs

[solid nebula]

I just cheesed him xD

Like 15 seconds ago

[vocal holly]

I find Tagilla isn't too bad. His breathing gives him away if you're focusing.

[subtle valve]

The problem here is the ammo you are using

[maiden garnet]

what killa are you fighting "he cant shoot standing" the guy activly sprints across the mall while shooting at me

[golden tusk]

yeah i've always been super unlucky with killa, usually 1 tap lasered before theres a chance to fight him.

[finite agate]

Tag is even easier, especially in his hideout

[marble dome]

I don’t have time to hear him breathing. All I hear is “ you’re dead” and he bashes my head in when I least suspect it

[finite agate]

Half a mag of m80 to the face with an mdr gets him every time

[scarlet pier]

as long as you dont find yourself in a place where he can see the top of your head but you cant see him back, its fine

[vocal holly]

It's Killa's mechanic from what I've seen. The man can't shoot while standing/running/sprinting. He had to be crouched to shoot. Makes him easy to deal with so long as you don't get complacent.

[vale atlas]

I just wish he couldn't see my arms before a pxel of him ever comes into view

[rare field]

nah he can stand and shoot

[vocal holly]

Never seen it

[rare field]

he can sprint and shoot to

[maiden garnet]

yeah i was gonna say everytime ive killed hime he's activly been sprinting while shooting

[vale atlas]

Dont think i've seen that one lol, but i have had fully upright killa shooting at me

[vocal holly]

Every time I've seen him, he's always come to a stop and crouched to shoot at me

[maiden garnet]

wait until you get the fabled drop-shot killa raid

and his bigass helmet is the only thing you can shoot looking at him

[vale atlas]

Lmao yeah he didn't used to do that

I thought i killed him first time he dropshotted me

stupid updates

[solid nebula]

I've noticed Killa keeps shooting the last angle you peek way longer than any other enemy
He just keeps spraying even tho you are under cover, that's exploitable because you can catch him reloading xD

[finite agate]

Helmet is t4, thats the easiest kill ever

[vale atlas]

Thats actually a good tip if true

[scarlet pier]

yes, although he reloads deceptively fast

[solid nebula]

That I agree the reload is quick

He got that Adidas buff

[scarlet pier]

when you think the spray has ended, you have a short window

[maiden garnet]

i had a video on hand showing his fuckass 0.5s reload where the animation is literally just sped up 3x

[golden tusk]

the only thing i will say is wtf is that trash ass gun he carries

[solid nebula]

I just got 230 PPBS bullets from Tagilla

BLESS

[maiden garnet]

did you get the stockless akmsn with t45-m

[golden tusk]

yes 🤣

[rare field]

sell em

[maiden garnet]

classic killa moment

[rare field]

trash ammo

[finite agate]

Also with the AI tweak, I've been head eyes exactly 1 time since release. Today, to a Kollontay guard that had 15 rounds of the good leggy 5.7 ammo dumped point blank into him

[golden tusk]

so theres a better option, right? riiiight?

[vale atlas]

yeah i've noticed i'm getting head eyesed a lot less

[maiden garnet]

i wouldn't know everytime ive killed killa it's been with an NL545 GP with igolnik loaded

[finite agate]

Nl545 in Labry begs to differ

[vale atlas]

The downside is they seem to enjoy shooting me in the throat, and if bosses, arms before they ever become visible

[vocal holly]

The only time I've been head shot by AI is when my head is the only thing visible

or a Kaban sniper guard shot down into my neck...bastard.

[golden tusk]

wait i mean what he carries

[maiden garnet]

ive been midsprint headshot by Shturman 2-3 times sofar but nothing too crazy besides that

[maiden garnet]

yeah he can carry an RPK with the 95 round mags loaded with igolnik/bt

[vale atlas]

Do you have a particularly good cpu, like a threadripper or something?

[golden tusk]

oh thats way better then

[finite agate]

Corner of MVD, literally barrel stuffed me. There was another guard walking in and out of middle door too

[vale atlas]

Could be the AI is just scarier if your computer would fit in at NASA

my 12900 doesn't quite cut it lol

[golden tusk]

shurtmans ai needs fixing, i got agro then stood behind the rock and they just kept shooting the rock for a good 5 minutes

like through the big ass rock that overlooks sawmill

[maiden garnet]

funny that's only happened with the BTR for me when it rolls up next to the sawmill

[vale atlas]

I've had that kind of thing with regular AI too

[finite agate]

TR sucks at gaming btw, its equivalent to a -2gen r5

[vale atlas]

Occasionally i get one trying to shoot me through the floor of the bank in ground zero

Both PMC and scav

[golden tusk]

thats weird

[vale atlas]

Honestly i'm not that bothered by it

I get all kinds of weird fuckery going on

[golden tusk]

nah i mean at least you know who's down there

[vale atlas]

But i also play star citizen sometimes so i'm immune to caring about bugs lol

Oh its only because i go down to kill them

I need dogtags

I keep forgetting to remove them when i go back into raids so i'm basically doubling that effort lol

[golden tusk]

i used to be terrified of shurtman cause i couldn't get near him without getting lasered but i started using a thermal sitting on that rock and learnt their movements which has made the whole thing way easier to understand

except when he goes walk abouts and hides in the forrest

[solid nebula]

What rigs are good for 3x1 mags?

[vale atlas]

God i do hate it when shturman isn't where i want him to be

that man shouldn't be allowed in the woods

Actual menace

[finite agate]

Alpha, TV110, CPC

[golden tusk]

it's an absolute jump scare when you think you've killed them all, but really one was a scav and that mf comes sprinting out of the woods lasering you

[solid nebula]

I always go Night raid with thermals he doesn't stand a chance xD
But then I tend to play all bosses safely so if you like the action that may not be fun

[solid nebula]

Thanks:D

[vale atlas]

I usually discover him after 3ish minutes of running my ass off somewhere perfectly peacefully

not a care in the world, suddenly loading screen

[main robin]

Any advice on hunting the goons?
been running raids where the trackers say they are but have yet to find them.

[golden tusk]

thats me but partizan! i know he's an easy kill but sometimes he's so sneaky and doesn't act normal lmao

[solid nebula]

Probably unlucky these guys will chase you down across the entire map as soon as you are seen which can be hundreds of metres

[vale atlas]

Best advice i would give is not to hunt them lol, the advice on where they are seems to vary. You'll get people saying "Oh they're on this map for me" and other maps for others lol

[solid nebula]

I usually always see them on raid start

[vale atlas]

Go grind some other stuff you need and it'll happen accidentally

[maiden garnet]

I didn't see Papa John's for like 6 real life human months until about a week ago where i dropped him and he had a red rebel

[finite agate]

I have scanned the entire damn sawmill, went down into cabins, heard him cracking shots, ran back up to dickhead to set up on him, and immediately get burned down up there

[vale atlas]

Honestly during the christmas event this fucker kept appearing silently out of nowhere

[finite agate]

I refuse to touch sawmill now bc of that

[golden tusk]

@main robin i think everyones experiences are different but I play local and have had the most luck on lighthouse

[vale atlas]

Always at the houses on shoreline lol

[bright sand]

trackers only indicate the map that they are spawning in, but you also need to win that % spawn rate

[main robin]

Problem is... I have already escaped, Farmed killa tracksuit and it is now the last thing I need for kappa, bar finding burnt peanut mask

[vale atlas]

I'm actively scared of fences now

Ah... right

[golden tusk]

"oh thats just santa" parmy sitting in a bush laughing

[main robin]

On lighthouse are you checking water treatment too?

[finite agate]

Hunting Santa on woods, I got jumped by Parm by Moremans gravesite, missed every shot and still killed his dumbass. I think he hit me twice?

[vale atlas]

Only place i can reliably run into goons seems to be customs

They really like those big central warehouses

[finite agate]

I dont get why he's considered a boss

[solid nebula]

I just turned off my generator 8 hours before my RFID card finished...

[golden tusk]

nope, for me personally they're usually by the houses and come running up main road or at the chalet, but they shoot pretty early imo so if i don't hear them i assume i'm safe

[main robin]

I ran customs for a couple hours yesterday to no avial

[vale atlas]

oof

[solid nebula]

💔

[vale atlas]

Its ok it could always be worse, i'm still hunting pliers elite lmao

[finite agate]

Always fun when they bush wookie the houses

[main robin]

want to do customs so I can be in and out quick with flare

last time i found them it was when I was killing cultist for main story

[golden tusk]

one boss i still really struggle with is glukhar, when he's in the open though not underground. him and his buddies just have such crazy lasers

[finite agate]

Just run the shelves in Goshan, 3-4 raids and you'll get a handful

[vale atlas]

You'd think so wouldn't you lol

I'm blind or they're especially elusive for me this time round

[finite agate]

Knight, he's a cakewalk. Trainyard, gfl

[golden tusk]

just checked my scav for you and no luck, sorry. i'm guessing you've checked woods bunker a few times?

[vale atlas]

I'm having better luck slowly getting dripfed them from that new area in interchange

by the flare extract, not the other one

[finite agate]

Idk what tf it is; do it on your scav

[vale atlas]

occasionally one spawns on the barrels near the exfil

When it isn't 10 firekleans anyway

[main robin]

No, I was going to ask what is a good way to find the mask.

I just assumed killing scavs and duffles

[finite agate]

Ran 6 Batya chungus loot runs for my Oscope earlier today. Did 1 scav and got it 1st try

[vale atlas]

oh a scav search is a good idea

I haven't touched my scav in a while because i kept fucking my own fence rep

Trigger discipline is hard ok

[golden tusk]

i've found a few there @main robin, also theres 3 barrel stashes at train depot on woods so when i was looking for it i just went between those two

@vale atlas have you tried around the radars on shoreline?

[finite agate]

Hey, my 1st few times learning streets by scavving i accidentally took on Kollontay at Klimov and lost. It happens

[vale atlas]

I haven't no, i think i will next lol

I was happy to get away from shoreline, last update i kept crashing if i looked towards the tunnelextract for too long

[golden tusk]

oh that does not sound like a nice bug

[vale atlas]

Yeah it behaves kinda like the big annoying building in customs

[main robin]

Ill have a go at that, must admit that is the one map I dont want to fight the goons on

[vale atlas]

not sure why it was that bad on shoreline, i dont crash on customs lol even with the frame drops from that one building

[finite agate]

Yeah that makes no sense lol

[golden tusk]

i sit on the big ass mountain/rock across from chalet if i know they're there and snipe until they push, then it's easier to kill. but yeah getting caught out with them around there is no bueno

[finite agate]

Hell I dont even know what building cause the issue on Customs, I dont notice any frame drops at all unless there's a big fight happening

[vale atlas]

Yeah i think you'd only notice if you had a computer that just runs the game, or actively watched your frame counter

[finite agate]

I mean

[vale atlas]

But its that one with all the scaffolding outside, cant remember the name

You have to kill all the PMC's there

[finite agate]

Im on a laptop 2060 4900hs

[vale atlas]

huh

weird, i know its not just me that's happening to

Maybe its specific to some hardware

[finite agate]

And I run at 1440 too, which is definitely straining my shit

[vale atlas]

I imagine thats the only way to force some of it onto the gpu there lol

[finite agate]

If so wasn't intended lmao, I just wanted better picture quality

[vale atlas]

Yeah honestly its borderline impossible to go back to 1080 after using anything above it

I tried it very briefly here to see what the performance increase would be like

[finite agate]

Playing 1080 with my monitor 4-5ft away from me is not fun

[vale atlas]

didn't notice one

And i'm not on a shitter either, its a decent computer. i9-12900, 3080ti

[finite agate]

I did the same, it actively made me worse

[vale atlas]

Yup

I'd rather have the clarity than convince myself 1080 is worth using lol

[finite agate]

Laptop screen itself is 1080 and its alright, its what I play on when im not at work

But its also a much smaller screen

[vale atlas]

I'm vehemently against gaming on laptops lol

Bought myself a flagship laptop many years ago, steam was giving away free games, it was one of those fuckin lego ones

[finite agate]

So pixel density is probably pretty close

[vale atlas]

i thought "Why not" installed it,played for 10 minutes

set hte laptop down, came back 2 minutes later and the motherboard had cooked itself

Refund/repair refused

Never again lol

fuckin laptops

[finite agate]

I was planning on upgrading until RAMmeggedon happened. Originally di the laptop bc I was doing traveling construction, now I drive truck, so its very convenient

[vale atlas]

Yeah same, i was looking at upgrading as the 12900 is starting to slow down more than i can live with

[finite agate]

Better place to put that level of money that isn't insanely overpriced

[vale atlas]

Oh and slightly more on topic

I know fuck all about the skill mechanics here

am i fucking myself or slowing myself down in raids by going in already overweight?

[finite agate]

Yes but no

[vale atlas]

For the skill progression i mean

Not my actual movement

[cosmic patrol]

For the skill progression you arent fucked over no

Just make sure if you start running you run your entire bar at once

[finite agate]

Then yeah, no

[vale atlas]

Yeah as far as i'm aware you get the xp for it as it recharges right?

or was that endurance

[dreamy mantle]

mmmm Shechter

[vale atlas]

God i should actually read up on this

Its as its used, but there's quicker dim. returns if you dont deplete it

i can only count as high as there are prestiges in tarkov

so can the lobster

[vale atlas]

I've only just got my gym installed lol, i'll use it for as long as i remember it exists

Ah so you learn numbers via the prestige

I just... learn

[finite agate]

Its a pita for me bc I tend to max out raid time, so the extra resource drain ends up killing me

[dull basalt]

so uh, how do you guys farm exp
im at 43, cleared all the kappa quests i could so far so i just straight up just need exp now

[vale atlas]

Isn't labry the go to?

Lots of xp for everything you kill there

[lament tartan]

killing bosses andd , do transits? its good

[finite agate]

I use it only on days im refreshing stuff, not actively raiding

[dull basalt]

i haven't unlocked that yet, should probably try it

[finite agate]

Stack transits for big bonus, then finish on Labry

[dull basalt]

yeah i noticed the few times i did transit my exp was a bit higher, they stack exponentially or something?

Get the christmas tree immediately

[finite agate]

Its a linear multiplier, but exp gained during that raid adds to it so it looks non-linear @dull basalt

we'll find out

[main robin]

Goon tracker switched to lighthouse... off we got.

[finite agate]

Yeah it was 1 of each with purp being the rare one

[vale atlas]

Ah well, only one thing to find next year

[finite agate]

True

[vale atlas]

Surely that wont be too bad 😅

[finite agate]

I hate messing up my sleep schedule, tark keeps me awake when resetting it but im too damn tired now to perform well so its time for cozy pack opening simulator lmfao

[finite agate]

I got all of mine from scavs, I never once found one on my own

[vale atlas]

I think i got a few, tree was pretty generous for me tbh

Never actively went looking for it but sometimes you're passing

[alpine vigil]

whats the cheapest pc specs to run this game on good graphics

[scarlet pier]

are you targeting what resolution and what FPS

[short rivet]

All the money. I have a friend who has a Ryzen 7 9800 X3D and a RX 9070 XT and he can have crazy frame drops in some areas of the game. It aint cheap to play this game and wanting it to be pretty

he is playing at 1080P

[barren bluff]

you could have the best pc on the planet and still get bad frames on streets

especially when it starts snowing in-game

[scarlet pier]

I swapped from a i9 13900k to a 9800x3D, have a 3080ti, 1440p@120hz, can get 150fps on Customs offline no AI

[maiden garnet]

doesn't matter what your pc specs are because 3 updates from now someone is going to accidently untick the de-render lidar effect on customs and everyone's frames are going to drop 80% and it wont be fixed for a month

[scarlet pier]

overall all maps staying close to the 120hz target, except when scoping in

[errant torrent]

Can fireworks still be used

[maiden garnet]

no

[barren bluff]

no

[maiden garnet]

they can be shot and they'll explode but no airdrops will come

[errant torrent]

Sadge

My brother had 3 he hasnt used yet

[barren bluff]

i have a i5 10600kf, RX 6600XT, and 32gb of ddr4 and the game runs pretty ok at 1440p with my settings turned down

fsr 3.0 on balanced

[scarlet pier]

rgr, for reference I am not using FSR or DLSS, I have TAA on high, textures ultra, Streets with lower res

[errant torrent]

Why are water filters 300k+

[scarlet pier]

checking now on Streets offline no AI, on cinema stairs looking at Lexos, 120fps

occasionally dropping to 100

[narrow eagle]

I just got the last aesa I need for solar power, I gotta get 4 or 5 more military power filters somehow some way and peacekeeper rep

[scarlet pier]

nvm it drops to 100 after I alt+tab but gets back to 120
but drops to 100 when scoping in

[barren bluff]

scopes are always gonna tank ur fps, literally rendering the game twice

[scarlet pier]

for sure

[vale atlas]

is that standard in games?

[scarlet pier]

for the picture in picture scopes, yes

[vale atlas]

Feels like a messy approach, not sure if its just because tarkov is so unoptimized that its a noticeable issue here

Gotcha

[barren bluff]

im sure some other games do it other ways, but generally id assume so

[scarlet pier]

which is why most of games just do the full screen scope (Arma3) or zoom in the entire screen (Battlefield)

[vale atlas]

Yeah i only ask as i half remember this coming up in some interview about a game a while back, they mentioned how intensive rendering things twice can be in relation to some kind of scope problem that was happening

But this is wayyyyy back, when SLI graphics cards were a thing lmao

[barren bluff]

some scopes still render the PiP even when ur using a canted or top mounted red dot

cant remember which ones

[vale atlas]

Holy fucking immediate exit

[scarlet pier]

the ones where the red dot is integrated in the scope

[vale atlas]

I just found two electric drills at once

I have had such issues finding these fucks

A third electric drill on the way out

[scarlet pier]

the NcSTAR ADO 3-9x scope, has an integrated red dot

if you attach a red dot to a Bravo or Specter, it should not render the scope when using the red dot as they are separate pieces

unfortunately attaching a red dot to a Specter is annoying, because it also has an iron sight, and while cycling the optics the game cycle through the iron sight

[trail sail]

do people even use this

[scarlet pier]

hopefully not 😆

[trail sail]

that scope is so bad

[scarlet pier]

and ugly

[trail sail]

yep and bsg never bothered to update it, it's been like that for as long as I can remember

[hazy gorge]

I love when i cant find the hideout items i need to finish the story

[scarlet pier]

wish I could apply to BSG just to fix all the optics and then resign

[loud lance]

I did too, at the Techlights store on Interchange

[vale atlas]

All 3 of mine came from the new area there

I love interchange now

[loud lance]

Not sure about that...
Going to Interchange and not having to even have to bother going into the mall is a bit lame IMO.

[vale atlas]

I'm happy to avoid it, i'll be spending enough time there later anyway

and i've been hunting these fuckin drills for over a week lol

This is my good ending

[zealous yew]

oh but you will have to go to the mall to do several quests. don't worry

[vale atlas]

Exactly, got a bunch left there

[loud lance]

Well if you would go in the mall.. it would have already be done 😉

[vale atlas]

You'd think so wouldn't you

I hadn't been avoiding it, i'd been checking there too

Fuckin things have just been in stealth mode

[loud lance]

I found all my drill there.. doing that 7 extracts for Ragman

[vale atlas]

But new area provides ❤️

[safe mango]

Yesterday playing locally i got backend error anyone have that?

[vale atlas]

Yup, happens occasionally

[loud lance]

Too much. Slighltly less than at release for sure though. It was crazy ngl

[vale atlas]

The good ammo does seem excessive on top of the other stuff

but i'm not going to complain i finally have the fuckin drills lmao

[golden tusk]

yeah, i just take it as a sign to clear logs/cache and a restart

[zealous yew]

my go to intechange mall strategy is to enter the mall from the backside of oli. this way you avoid a lot of fights

nvm forgot i'm on the pve chat

this strategy works great for pvp

[golden tusk]

thanks for the heads up

[loud lance]

You guys have no quests to get kills or what ?

[weary ice]

Is anyone else’s game crashing whenever they open hideout? My friend isn’t getting the glitch and the game is working fine at 80+ fps but whenever I open the hideout it crashes and says something about unity problem that it crashed unexpectedly

[loud lance]

Since when ?

[weary ice]

Yesterday? Maybe 2 days ago can’t remember too well

[loud lance]

I got no crash at all since 1.0.
And I go to the gym everyday at least

[zealous yew]

interchange pve I didn't figured out the patern for the ai pmcs.but for scavs they are heavily located on the main corridor with the escalators. killa included. so avoiding it is the best bet

[weary ice]

Yeah I don’t know it was. Working perfectly before

[vale atlas]

Cleared the cache?

HIdeouts definitely got some optimization problems, i get big stutters when opening it, gets worse the longer the game is open

Could just be your average memory leaks for that though

[golden tusk]

yeah i have had big problems with hideout this wipe, stutters and crafting taking time to un-freeze

[weary ice]

My friend said that because the game is based on your ram you have to restart every now and then to like refresh the memory or something? Supposed to help fps after 2 or 3 raids

It’s something to do with your memory maxing out idk

[loud lance]

Maybe something in the Hall of Fame or on a dummy that's making it crash when loading 🤔

[vale atlas]

Not too far off, not sure ram is related there as opposed to how EFT works lol

But its definitely failing to clean the memory in the ram

[weary ice]

My hideout is basically all level 1 and I only have like 5 upgrades

Dunno why it’s so broken

[vale atlas]

Updated your drivers lately?

[weary ice]

Oh fuck

[loud lance]

Ok

[weary ice]

Right

Yeah I have updates pending will update now

Will see if it fixes

[vale atlas]

Oh that might not be it, i thought maybe an update fucked it and you'd have to roll back

But i'll have my fingers crossed for you

[weary ice]

Yeah

[loud lance]

You preload the hideout ?

[safe mango]

thanks

[zealous yew]

increasing the page file size did miracles for tarkov here on my potato pc. so i would give it a try

[loud lance]

I also unchecked the 'clear ram' stuff. It was just creating stutters and freezes for no reasons

[mystic marsh]

This

[loud lance]

Better check and uncheck it when needed

[wet wing]

Any idea how to find fireklean?

[mystic marsh]

Set my paging file to a fixed 32 gb, massive loading time improvement and no stutters

[mystic marsh]

I found mine randomly I don't even remember where, didn't even know I'll need it, thank God I didn't sell it

[marsh belfry]

the gym levels up both endurance and strength? i thought it only did strength

[zealous yew]

time to play. back to the infinite grind and beyond 🫡

[weary ice]

Yeah nah it’s still not working

[marsh belfry]

what's not working?

[weary ice]

Hideout keeps crashing my game

When I try and open it

This game is so strange

[marsh belfry]

did you get any new upgrades for your hideout recently?

[marsh belfry]

quite

[weary ice]

No

I only have I think 5 unlocked all level 1

I only have like 90 hours on the game

[marsh belfry]

that's really odd, when did this start happening?

[weary ice]

2 days ago or about

[loud lance]

That's how I renamed the game file... 'infinite grind' lol

[zealous yew]

800 hours minimum to beat. this is fine meme

[loud lance]

Not a meme for a casual like me. Glad that I got like 500 hours or so pre-1.0. So I don't bother with huge grind.. like Kappa, etc.

[zealous yew]

btw any tips for jaeger's secured perimeter quest? just try to bait the ai pmcs to the factory's office?

[loud lance]

All levels are included I believe... did some in the bathroom etc

[pearl smelt]

I had few luck doing that. I would just reset until I see them spawn in the office. Also a grenade might get them to move or push if they are completely frozen

[pearl smelt]

True, I got kills in the undewrground level of the office too

[zealous yew]

'im also a casual. i can play max 5 raids per day. i just want to escape with i call: whatever ending lol. if i get the boat thats fine. not gonna save tarkov with the best ending. sorry tarkov

[zealous yew]

good to know

[zealous yew]

unrelated question but trip wire counts for this quest?

[loud lance]

I might play 1 raid per day most often. Sometimes just to claim rewards or insurances.

[scarlet pier]

ummm

[loud lance]

Anything count if they die in the perimeter

[zealous yew]

nice to know. thanks

[loud lance]

I never used those, but I feel it wouldn't work really good. But maybe the AIs are dumb and die to traps

[scarlet pier]

if you spawn in the office itself, hardly ever a PMC walks there but it might happen. best chance is if you spawn far away, just rush it and I often find 1-3 PMCs inside

[daring shale]

[zealous yew]

noted. i will just extract if i spawn there

[stone goblet]

[loud lance]

Since 1.0 it isn't rare that I saw PMC passing through the office's areas

[zealous yew]

hope so lol

[loud lance]

Nice Butch. Thanks to care about our safety

[scarlet pier]

it happens but if you spawn already inside you take their nearby spawn slots. I did secure perimeter yesterday alongside other factory tasks in 6 raids tho

[zealous yew]

also any tips for making raiders spawn on the command room from the reserve's bunker? i remember turning on the light would help. wiki also says you have to go to d2 and press the d2 switch. i did press but i didn't see any raider.

[loud lance]

It's really random tbh.. I love D2 but rarely see Raiders. If I go reserve, big chance I extract D2.

[prime trellis]

god bless tagilla for giving me bonus xp during test drive 5

[zealous yew]

oof. lets spam reserve then and pray raiders are not on vacation

[safe mango]

I saw u guys talking about adjusting paging file that can decrease loading time But idk how to do that and the first time heard of it

[pearl smelt]

Same, can someone explain what to do?

[zealous yew]

i think there is a command for it

?pagefile

nope

[loud lance]

General tip.. don't farm 1 quests. Just let them happen on their own. You'll get enoufh quests to do on reserve and factory to complete those on their own.
Otherwise you might waste a lot of time with bad RNG... just my advise

[stone goblet]

^^^^

[zealous yew]

thanks butch

[stone goblet]

[prime trellis]

it's annoying that the bunker raiders are only at 30%

for both switch and initial spawn

[zealous yew]

thanks. been doing that trying to combo a few quests in one raid

[zealous yew]

is 30% their default spawn rate?

[prime trellis]

for the ones in bunker, yes, for the k buildings they are 40%

[loud lance]

Yeah, otherwise you're like chasing your own tail

[scarlet pier]

its a nice feeling accumulating tasks in a map and then doing all you can in a single sweep

[marsh belfry]

what is partizan's purpose in solo pve 💔

[safe mango]

maybe giving u a bunch of gernade for the gernade launcher?

[spiral fulcrum]

being a boss

[loud lance]

Free loot

[marsh belfry]

that is an excellent point I did get two impacts off of him

[scarlet pier]

loot pinata and killing AI PMCs with the tripwires

[marsh belfry]

but i died to sanitar's guard cuz my armor was fucked

[marsh belfry]

oh no shit they run into them?

[loud lance]

Never saw anything die from a trip wire

[prime trellis]

same, i though they programmed the ai to avoid triwires

[marsh belfry]

yea the only time ive even seen his tripwires was on lighthouse, and the bears i killed looked like they were entirely avoiding the area he had his trap set up at

(i died to said tripwire btw)

[scarlet pier]

2 weeks ago I found Partisan and a couple PMCs dead in Woods, and Santa crouched disarming one of the traps

[loud lance]

I mean just having Partisan planting trip wires is kind of rare, so having other PMCs near at the same time must be an event on its own

[marsh belfry]

santa the goat

[prime trellis]

the only time i've seen the ai actually die to his tripwires is when he intially came out, since then they've had updates where scavs will disarm them and i bet pmcs too

[scarlet pier]

rare? every time I have partisan in the map there are dozens and dozens of traps

[golden tusk]

guys am i missing anything, i forgot to take a screenshot but theres no way over that fence when you're running down the train tracks towards zb extract on customs except running aaaallll the way back down towards new gas right?

[loud lance]

There should be a 'santa' 365 days on PvE.. the only friendly interaction we got 😉

[prime trellis]

new gas is the one in the centre of the map, old gas is the one by flare

did you mean old gas?

[marsh belfry]

yup

[spark wave]

technically you can jump the fence if its the one im thinking of

you go up on top of the "secret" exfil and use the height from there to clear the fence with a bit of luck

[loud lance]

You must be a really bad PMC... Partizan spawns pretty rarely for me.

Once pre-1.0 I saw him at red warehouse on Customs.. he planted trip wires up to the Trailer park extract lol

[scarlet pier]

yeah there is a jump if you are not heavy enough

[golden tusk]

ahhh gotcha yeah i was wondering if this was possible, will keep trying if i'm not overweight

[scarlet pier]

no no I actually have seen partisan 3 maybe 4 times in... 7 months of PVE

[marsh belfry]

he has a 15% chance to spawn right? and he hunts the lowest karma pmc in the lobby. in pve that's typically you...no?

[golden tusk]

i'm surprised there isnt a gap anywhere seems odd to not have anything at all but shrug

[scarlet pier]

but in all times, there were traps everywhere around him

[spark wave]

bear in mind you probably want at least like 10-15 str level to make sure you clear it

[golden tusk]

strength? or stamina level?

[spark wave]

str = strength

[prime trellis]

str, stamina does nto affect jump height

[golden tusk]

oh wow i didnt know it was strength that changed that, just figured it would be stam

my strength is pretty high cause my ass is always overweight going into raids lmao

[spark wave]

you can use stims that give +str if you dont have enough to make the gap

[prime trellis]

strength is jump height, grenade throw distance and running speed

and carry wieght but that's obvious

[loud lance]

Jumping over the wall on Customs ? near the shortcut ?

[scarlet pier]

near old gas

[golden tusk]

good to know thanks guys, will try it next time i'm there

[loud lance]

Oh ok.. I never even tried. Not sure what to do there

[narrow eagle]

I've never seen partisan

[spark wave]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DV3QzC53W04

[golden tusk]

they were just saying you can hop up the secret exfil bunker and jump across if you have enough strength!

[spark wave]

old vid but like 1 min 30

for the jump

[golden tusk]

legend thank you!

[loud lance]

Best PMC ever 👍

[scarlet pier]

if you are coming from fortress to that side of the map, only crossings are hole in the wall or the iron door to old gas... or a jump in the wall in between

[golden tusk]

oh shit i was just watching the vid and you can do it the other way too, not sure why you'd need to cause the ramp but still a cool trick lmao

[loud lance]

Yeah I saw the replies... but wasn't sure about whay exact wall they were talking about

[narrow eagle]

I wish I remembered to workout in the hideout every day, I want to get max strength asap

[scarlet pier]

I realize I also misunderstood the place, but yeah theres also a jump there

[narrow eagle]

D2 can have cofdms?

[loud lance]

I like to go by the hole on the wall.. really often dead pmcs there

[loud lance]

I don't think it is reliable if they spawn there. But I haven't been there a lot since 1.0 yet

[golden tusk]

yesss this is where i got my 2 (in PKPTS) after someone reccomended it in here! took maybe 9 runs?

[narrow eagle]

I don't think there are any reliable spawns for cofdms in the game rn tbh, I did like 4 pulls of pkpts and mostly got virtexes only one cofdm which I gave to a friend for intel center lvl 3

[winter latch]

From my own experience most of my cofdm i found in labrynth

But i guess its all luck based

[narrow eagle]

I haven't been to labyrinth, trying to stock up on good ammo before I get to it

[glacial osprey]

pkpts and labrynth

[trim kettle]

Nikita is russian kojima btw

[prime trellis]

3 raids for test drive 5, blessed with tagilla bringing me a decent chunk of bonus xp each raid

he was even kind enough to just run away and die to leg shots

they really should increase the cultist spawn rate on groundn zero and factory

[subtle valve]

Yes, as a loose loot on the ground and on big wooden boxes

[pearl smelt]

Ong, I only encountered them on factory ONCE in my pve lifetime, and i'm about to escape and get kappa too (evasion armband 😭 )

[prime trellis]

they are 2% while other maps are 25 or 30

even 10-15 would be good

nooo not the wojak sight

welp, now i have no choice but to go to customs

test drive 6

[nova plank]

how does the D2 pwoer switch spawn raiders? like do they take time to come to you or do they just spawn literately nearby or how does it work

[loud raptor]

The velociraptor is fun tbh

[prime trellis]

can i swap out the sight?

or do i have to use it as it was given

either way i'm finally going to go finish the warehouse kill task

[loud raptor]

all I have on customs are 20 uses of marked

[prime trellis]

i plan on killing resha.. shit should i go get easy job 2 done so i can get goon credit first

sincei fucking guaranntee they will spawn

[loud raptor]

Yesterday I got reshala and the goons while doing td6

[bright sand]

they will spawn nearby. a few rooms away from the switch

[prime trellis]

yeah i think i'm gonna go kill some rogues so i can get goon credit

phew, nearly had to go customs

[marsh belfry]

what are my chances of taking on killa by myself with an RPDN and not-so-great aim with it?

[loud raptor]

100% if you fight him correctly

[marsh belfry]

what is fighting him correctly

[loud lance]

The easiest maps, with cheese spots. Would be overly farmed I guess.

[marsh belfry]

break dem legs?

[gaunt rune]

idk what else to do after kappa, story mode has a few time locked advancements, so annoying

[loud lance]

They spawn just by the next big room or by the stairs to King. Most-likely, they don't spawn at all

[loud lance]

If the sight isn't specified in the description, you can use whatever you want

[vapid leaf]

Whats you guys' go to method for fence rep farming?

[loud lance]

There is guides for that. V-Extracts mostly...

[spiral fulcrum]

weird find but i just found comtacs and tools in a toolbox on interchange

[vapid leaf]

Takes too long for pmcs to actually koll scavs

[spiral fulcrum]

never knew that was a thing

[vapid leaf]

Well aside from that

[vale atlas]

Uh, how do you get blicky mastery lol

[sage marsh]

scav raids and killing pmc's

[sage marsh]

i dont think it has any

[vale atlas]

0/75

I am mystified

[sage marsh]

yea but i dont think you can gain any with it. unless you actually get a kill with it

[loud lance]

I'm not farming, so I just saw it quickly.. but there isn't many ways to get Fence rep... kill pmcs, extract as scav, etc

[vale atlas]

Yeah thats what i mean, it seems to be impossible you cant kill anything with it

[vapid leaf]

Yeeah. Its a pain to get to 4

[vale atlas]

Seems weird to introduce

[vapid leaf]

Do transits still work?

[sage marsh]

for fence rep?

[vapid leaf]

Ye

[sage marsh]

no idea

[vapid leaf]

Lets give it a try i guess

[sage marsh]

go transit between factory and customs a ton

[loud lance]

Not something that I remember seeing.. so it.might be really small rep

[vapid leaf]

Yep

[loud lance]

GL with that

[hazy gorge]

2 more batteries to progress falling skies

cant find them

[nova plank]

Do Coop, it works pretty well in pve, best is ground zero, streets and shoreline, rest i couldn’t get it to work. I did it so much that I only get 0.01 from them now lol

[vapid leaf]

But do they work in pve?

[nova plank]

You can try shoting to make scavs come to you, but for me I only do it if I see a scav nearby and bait them to come to me, if you hide they will try to rush you

[nova plank]

Yeah that’s what I’m saying, been doing so much it’s 0.01 and yeah pve

[loud raptor]

Only interchange coop gives an achievement tho

[nova plank]

I meant only for fence rep

[vapid leaf]

I mean yeah but how does one do it in pve?

[loud raptor]

Tbh with car only I am almost 6

[nova plank]

It worked best for me when a scav is already nearby and you just try to bait them to you basicaly

They tend to push you if you hide

[sage marsh]

i used AG flares for coop runs

[wispy creek]

is there a way to fix the flea market being broken in PVE?

[hazy gorge]

my pmc seems to be unable to aim

[wispy creek]

I can just buy every single item and resell them for whatever I choose

[bright sand]

?? broken?

[vapid leaf]

Ah so just bait scavs into the area. Got it. Thanks

[loud raptor]

You’re the one controlling your pmc

[hazy gorge]

i try to aim in the hideout and my pmc refuses

"yeah nah i dont feel like aiming today"

[loud raptor]

in the hideout it’s a known bug

[hazy gorge]

never seen it before

[loud raptor]

they added it after 1.0

[sage marsh]

how is it broken today?

[loud raptor]

The weekend ended it’s normal that some priced change

[wispy creek]

im playing the free pve

[sage marsh]

And?

[loud raptor]

The overlay in game? cus I think it’s not allowed

[wispy creek]

flea is broken

[sage marsh]

how so?

[lethal garnet]

that sounds extremely TOS and i’d suggest you delete that comment

[bold nest]

maybe. it was on his other monitor

[bright sand]

against TOS

[bold nest]

bad game! what the hell is the point of the token then for anything else?!

[sage marsh]

wut

[hazy gorge]

what

[lethal garnet]

what is your question

[wispy creek]

well you can just resell items for whatever you choose

[sage marsh]

well yea thats not broken, thats just how a player to player trade market works

[hazy gorge]

what is this question

[wispy creek]

except its not players lol

its offline

[hazy gorge]

what

[sage marsh]

You cant play tarkov offline

[hazy gorge]

bro just typing shit

[prime trellis]

... why did the rogue on the gun just go flying into the distance

[nova plank]

You mean pve? Real players still buy in fleamarket

[prime trellis]

he didn't die....

[hazy gorge]

they have powers didnt you know?

[loud raptor]

bro is playing the forbidden tarkov

[sage marsh]

ohhh

yeah we dont support that shit here

[wispy creek]

well yeah im not paying 40 euros for something that should be in the main game

shitty cashgrab

[prime trellis]

bro it's giving me pvp flashbacks

[shell sluice]

Does anyone know if they moved the keys around on labs cuz I can’t find one

[hazy gorge]

you know thats against TOS to be talking about that

about that game?

[hazy gorge]

which keys

[wispy creek]

I have no idea what youre talking about

[sage marsh]

weird kids are weird

[loud raptor]

escape from duckov

[nova plank]

Zero sievert

[sage marsh]

the free version you speak of is againt TOS here

[shell sluice]

The cards sorry

[hazy gorge]

the rooms or the actual key cards?

[shell sluice]

The actual cards like I can’t find one

[hazy gorge]

yeah its rng

[sage marsh]

not to mention, localhosting has been a thing in tarkov for awhile now

[hazy gorge]

but the spawns are the same

just check the wiki

[sage marsh]

i never see cards in labs except res

[hazy gorge]

its quite rare to find them

[sage marsh]

then again i never look because i have cases full of keys

[wispy creek]

why

[loud raptor]

dorms marked had 1 uzi and 1 teapot
