Bruh I feel slow I just figured out pressing alt while zoomed steadys ur aim

[cursive sky]

Are you bartering for them as well?

[golden tusk]

im pretty sure i do, i can check after this raid

[final pawn]

I was roasting my friend who misses all his shots and thats when he learned the same thing LOL

[dusty pike]

thanks, no worries, take your time

just have to have gunsmith 17 finished to be able to buy it from mechanic iirc

[wicked osprey]

Hi guys I have a question about savior ending, I'm not sure if I did f*** up by removing the flash drive before pressing the button (maybe I did maybe not). Is there a way to know if it will be good or not? I know that I have both achievement " Through Another's Eyes" & "When the light fades". Can it means I'm good?

[lunar ice]

I’ve been sitting here the whole time waiting for my crosshairs to wobble over people when I can just steady🤦🤦

[final pawn]

yes u fked it

sadly

[hearty crown]

My tree gone :[

[frigid flint]

i think you goofed that one, 100% supposed to do power before pulling the flash drive

if youre still in, maybe you can alt+f4 as a last ditch

idk if thatll work tho

[final pawn]

by not pressing the button before removing the flash drive ||iirc in the lore now the unheard knows theyre being fucked with which pisses somebody off whos supposed to help you|| so you can still get an ending ofc just not savior

[wicked osprey]

I understand but again maybe I did in the good order but can't recall, no way to know that beside discovering it later?

[thorn token]

i finally died to partizan, didnt have enough boolets loaded in the mxlr and he got me mid reload

[gaunt rune]

labyrinth doesn't have insurance just like labs? So I lost my empty magazine?

[final pawn]

yessir

[astral kindle]

Rip magazine

[golden tusk]

sorry "empty" magazine made me laugh

[final pawn]

does anyone else have the guide active rn

may attempt the rest of my maps later

[quartz thicket]

if you talk to kerman and he tells you to fuck off, youre toast

[golden tusk]

can you buy it if i pop it on flea?

[wicked osprey]

Yes that why I'm looking for a way to know that before. Having both achievement doesn't mean it's OK?

[dusty pike]

unsure, i was thinking just a factory run together and drop it in a bag rq

im not seeing any other olive drabs on flea atm

[quartz thicket]

I'll check to see if I got them, cause thats where I fucked up too

[astral kindle]

I can hop online to throw few into flea if my launcher would start

[golden tusk]

yeah theres none on flea rn, except mechanics

[dusty pike]

all it shows me is the greyed out mechanic option

[golden tusk]

i'll pop it up now if you're ready? just keep refreshing

[pearl smelt]

What task is that?

[dusty pike]

rdy

[quartz thicket]

The Unheard story

[wicked osprey]

They are already here "chapter"

[golden tusk]

you get it?

[dusty pike]

got it, youre a king

[quartz thicket]

I did not get when the light fades

[golden tusk]

sick, sorry i couldnt put it up at like 1 ruble or summin the bots would have grabbed it but did minimum price

[dusty pike]

no worries, drop in the proverbial bucket

thank you much

[golden tusk]

no probs!

[astral kindle]

If you put it lower than fee is, nameless "bot" would insta buy it as its designed like that

[golden tusk]

yeah i've been fooled by this before sadly lol

[astral kindle]

And yes thats by design from BSG, not a player

[golden tusk]

sometimes also players if it's cheap enough but not too cheap

[distant obsidian]

Can't talk about or post that site. TOS

[final pawn]

lmao

[wicked osprey]

Oh okay sorry then

[dusty pike]

i just threw some more up on flea for cheap to pay it forward if anyone else is stuck on 17 due to that item

[distant obsidian]

Talking about and mentioning data mining websites is a no-no. It's against the games TOS, which is in turn against this discords rules.

[golden tusk]

bless, i saw one up when i went to check and it was up for 100k!? shitters

[wicked osprey]

I see, does I have to delete all those messages?

[final pawn]

wdym data mining

[distant obsidian]

Can't talk about it at all. Google it

[hazy gorge]

Bro make this winter go away im freezing my ass off outside

[quartz thicket]

comparing differences in code banks

[distant obsidian]

I don't want to get in trouble with the mods

[golden tusk]

+1 my corneas are permanently damaged from tarkov winter

[final pawn]

LOL

[astral kindle]

BSG's Terms of service prohibits datamining. This 'developer' website datamines hence is not allowed to mention in here.

[final pawn]

finding the cult circles on woods in the snow for the quest was so difficult

[bronze saddle]

a yellow card... ok cool... i already have one, should i keep it or sell it?

[astral kindle]

Keep, best room

[final pawn]

worth way more to keep imo

just need to get lucky a few times with bitcoins

[golden tusk]

omg yes the one by checkpoint had me squinting

[wicked osprey]

Messages deleted, sorry for the troubles

[quartz thicket]

theres cultist marks on the trees around the circle too

[final pawn]

lowkey super grateful for pestilys video guides for story questlines

[distant obsidian]

O I am no mod or anything. It's just a friendly warning is all. Nothing to be sorry about, just letting you know is all

[final pawn]

plan was to do em all after kappa anyway

[distant obsidian]

Happens all the time

[golden tusk]

MY CORNEAS MARVIN

[quartz thicket]

Well maybe you should have brought tushonka instead of corn

[golden tusk]

the milk helps

[lunar ice]

Found a ledx and gpu in it the other day

[hidden summit]

yellow is pretty goated, best cards for me atm are red, yellow, violet and green.

[quartz thicket]

Just rub vasoline in your eyes

[bronze saddle]

what about greens?

[hidden summit]

blue is almost worse than emercom key on interchange tbh

[final pawn]

black office and safe have been so shit lately but I need em for bitcoins

[quartz thicket]

Red is very miss for me, i stick to yellow violet and res unit

[lunar ice]

That’s the stim room

[distant obsidian]

All of labs is worse then interchange currently

[lunar ice]

Pretty useful

[golden tusk]

i looted blue the other day and got 1 selewa

[distant obsidian]

Interchange is probably your fastest money maker right now

[quartz thicket]

You dont open blue unless theres a keycard on the desk in front of the window lol

[hidden summit]

red has been goated for ammo, ive gotten the odd ledx or btc

[hidden summit]

yeah thats about it

[golden tusk]

i was hoping there would be a secret ledex in one of the med boxes, there wasn't

[young frost]

why do they care tho ?

[lunar ice]

I was hauling ssa ap out red yesterday

[golden tusk]

probably because there was no med boxes

[frigid flint]

red and violet has been okay, black room is usually 1 intel, 1 btc, 1 roller and cardinal key (which is worth about 180k). yellow can be decent. the others have been booty for me.

[final pawn]

I found one in a med bag yesterday!

in blue

[hidden summit]

its hit or miss, i either come out with ammo and figurines or i get like 40 fucking stims

labs is still huge for gpus tho

[quartz thicket]

I've found more ledx in duffle bags than med bags

[golden tusk]

well there you go! but tbf i pulled 2 out of pharmacy key on interchange so frig it

[hidden summit]

necrus pharmacy is insane atm

[frigid flint]

ive never been lucky for comp parts on labs, ive gotten nearly all of mine from ground zero lmao

[final pawn]

yeah interchange is easy 1.5m a raid with all the med keys and hitting tagillas

[golden tusk]

so good, even better than the other 2 med keys on there

[hidden summit]

i havent hit it in a couple days but i was getting a ledx or two every other raid

[lunar ice]

I always find a gpu in the duffle bag next to the pc in the room before res unit

[hidden summit]

with a generous ammount of defibs

[hidden summit]

dude that pc is the holy grail for me

[distant obsidian]

You pop a stim, hit pharmacy, ultra med and tags hideout for the 100% Intel. Then depending on spawn you can hit the small bear camp for more Intel and ledx and the smuggler camp.

[hidden summit]

it always has a gpu or a piece of ram

[distant obsidian]

Way quicker and easier then labs atm. More money per time spent

You can walk away with 6 LEDs and 2 Intel on a good run. About 10 mins at most

[hidden summit]

i usually hit pharmacy, then caf area right by it for ammo, move through idea offices to power, finish with silly tagilly and and move to kiba if i still have room or need plates

but idk, im walking away with 2-4 gpus on my labs raids yesterday

i think i got like 15-20 gpus in a day doing labs

plus like 500-600 rounds of m995 and ssap

[cunning sequoia]

I am Lightkeeper: I watch over everything and everyone, and all can see my light. In our restless time, it's critical to have the necessary information Information creates connections, connections yield opportunities.

[golden tusk]

ur doing great bud

[distant obsidian]

Yeah fuck all that. Just hit the 2 camps, 2 med rooms and tags hideout.

[final pawn]

fuck your quests buddy

[young frost]

that woods quest sucked n so do u

[hidden summit]

didnt think to do the bear camp for the intel and extra leddie tho, gonna try the pmc scav run later this way

[vernal wagon]

You also have dementia because you keep forgetting that you have already met me

[distant obsidian]

10 mins and your making more then labs

[cunning sequoia]

This world is ending all these pathetic attempts to hold on to a melting ice floe in the middle of a raging ocean all these local fights, the hypocrisy of the traders, the Instigation, violence multiplied by violence

[golden tusk]

[distant obsidian]

When icebreaker?

[young frost]

idc how old he is that old man is going in the sea

[cunning sequoia]

Whenever Buyanovich feels like ot

[distant obsidian]

Fuck

[hidden summit]

i was just doing labs to stock up on ammo mostly, and ETGC's since im not 40 yet, been popping one of the exfils off spawn to force raiders and getting 8-15 of them per raid

got me from 35-37 pretty quick

[distant obsidian]

O I craft all my ammo. I don't need to do ammo runs.

[distant obsidian]

I also don't do money runs cause money is so free. Making millions just doing tasks.

[plush narwhal]

bro where to find alkaline

[vernal wagon]

Ready to go to terminal for the 1st time, no spoilers please but is taking level 6 armour and high pen ammo a must?

[distant obsidian]

Do pk tasks and get your m80a1 and 5a1 crafts.

[final pawn]

customs crackhouse

[distant obsidian]

Yes lol

[plush narwhal]

thanks

[vernal wagon]

Thanks

[hidden summit]

yeah im still super new, having to youtube or wiki every task solo is not fun for me, much more into doing hoodrat shit with my homies and having them sherpa me for tasks when i need to

[distant obsidian]

Shoreline smugglers camp and interchange.

Not crack

[distant obsidian]

Ah I see. That makes sense then.

Don't listen to all these skill issues here. Crafting ammo is the best way to gett good ammo in the game. Looting good ammo on your way around maps is a bonus.

[rare field]

Surely icebreaker tomorrow

[distant obsidian]

Like on streets, hitting terragroup armory at very least is free. Well you need they key, but it's free ammo while you are doing something else

[distant obsidian]

Tomorrow for sure

Same with interchange, hitting un camp for ammo while on the map.

Ect....

[hidden summit]

im starting to get more comfortable with my gunplay to solo bosses and task, but ill still get humbled by some of the bosses, and honestly the confidence boost of having a teamate be able to tap in for me if im foot dragging a fight makes all the difference

[distant obsidian]

Yeah I hear that

[hidden summit]

but my map knowledge and general game knowledge is defs where it needs to be to be able to solo task effectively, its really just a am i gonna die to gluey or killa issue atm lmao

[cursive sky]

I was being humbled by Kaban, having no real experience fighting him since I didn't play much Streets back when I was sweating in PVP

Now it feels like a breeze after a dozen kills or so

[hidden summit]

yeah, i mean theres good ammo spawns on most of the maps if you know them, labs is the only map that i feel you can consitently come out with 300-600 rounds of very good ammo. i find its an easy way to stock up. but yeah i need to work on my crafting unlocks

[dusty pike]

ive had decent luck at oli in interchange for it

[hidden summit]

red, rez unit weapon spawn, and weapons testing is just easy ammo and its usually always spawning 855a1 and above

[golden tusk]

are there any tips and tricks to be able to put thermals in your pouch? it isn't a big deal but man losing a 650k scope isn't the best

[glacial osprey]

none atm

why u scared of losing dirt cheap items btw?

[golden tusk]

hey! some of us are only just starting this wipe and aren't loaded!

[distant obsidian]

No

[quartz thicket]

You used to be able to put them on a mount and in your container, i think they fixed that though

[distant obsidian]

Just don't use thermals. You don't need them except for a few tasks

[golden tusk]

but i like dem

[distant obsidian]

Then risk it

[glacial osprey]

then like losing them

[quartz thicket]

They're really trash though. that refresh rate makes it nearly impossible to use effectively

[hidden summit]

this tbh

[distant obsidian]

But your better off learning how to spot enemies with you eyes

[golden tusk]

well i mean, like i said, it isn't a big deal, but if you can avoid losing it then thats great, if not, it is what it is

[copper osprey]

blunt honest i lose them all the time to boss i stopped caring about 650k

[distant obsidian]

Thermals are a cool thing to use once in awhile. But it's better to learn how to spot

[golden tusk]

i do a lot of work irl with thermals so it makes me happy using them tbh

[final pawn]

this is so serious guys

[quartz thicket]

Its the most serious discussion in tarkov rn

[hidden summit]

playing with a friend that can loot you when you die, but they arent insurable and you cant shove em in your ass so if you die you loose em

[rare field]

Or just run a 100k Lumen flashlight

[golden tusk]

you'd think i'd just asked how not to die irl

[final pawn]

🤣

[golden tusk]

yeah thats fair! is what it is, just thought i'd check if there's any way to avoid it if possible, but i haven't lost one in quite awhile anyway

[copper osprey]

thermals in eft are useless beyond 250 meter

[distant obsidian]

Lul. I don't even use flashlights. Only on a pistol

[quartz thicket]

we get it everyone else sucks 🙄

Fucking tiring

[golden tusk]

i used the flir quite a lot to learn shurtmans movements better, i could never spot him/his buddies in the bushes there so it helped. not anymore but

[frigid flint]

+1

[distant obsidian]

What?

[final pawn]

just put a great flashlight example in #screenshots

[distant obsidian]

How the fuck does not using a flashlight translate into you suck?

[quartz thicket]

every other sentence from you is "i dont even" "just go do" "you still lmao"

[copper osprey]

once again proves that thermals aint as a good any longer they help you spot that's all but then thick dense bushes ot trees block the thermals there is literaly no need for thermals just wait till shturnam starts shooting and look at the flashes

[distant obsidian]

Yeah, every post

[main reef]

whats like the "meta" kit on heals

[distant obsidian]

No meta.

[copper osprey]

once you hear a svd see a black dressed dude next to a wood pile there you go shturny

[worthy otter]

Grizzly and Surv12 ez pz

[golden tusk]

i mean it helped me learn his movements and spawns, i just don't need it anymore cause i figured them out, using a thermal

[distant obsidian]

Meds are very much preference

[glacial osprey]

propital etgc perfotoran

[quartz thicket]

Injector kit and a grizzly

[rare field]

Grizzly and CMS

[copper osprey]

i learned his spawns using dickhead rock and no thermals

[final pawn]

everyone has their own but I bring afak, calok b, stick of morphine, tigz splint every raid

[glacial osprey]

cms and surv

[distant obsidian]

I use 2 ifaks and a splint now. With 2 injector cases

[golden tusk]

well that's great for you

[main reef]

i think im the only pmc on the planet that has no injektor case

[glacial osprey]

that is sad to hear

[main reef]

sounds good

[distant obsidian]

Probably.

[rare field]

i got one today out of scav case

[copper osprey]

i generally just wait till he shoots cause i can just use his flashes to figure out his location

[main reef]

fire

[distant obsidian]

I forgot you had a 2 limit on them .. tried to bring a third

[quartz thicket]

You get one for a quest reward, dont you?

[glacial osprey]

that is also sad

[quartz thicket]

Yeah the 3 way split between prapor and skier, you choose therapist to get the injector

[main reef]

im really slow at quests cuz its my first time thru

[distant obsidian]

Yeah 🙁

[main reef]

lvl 28 at the moment but alot of lvls got boosted cuz arena quests

[final pawn]

got the worlds easiest black keycards cause I was sitting on a bunch of cyclon batteries with no idea what to do with them

[quartz thicket]

No? Arena xp goes to PvP?

[inner belfry]

The Ticket "Eliminate PMC operatives on shoreline and interchange without killing scavs. What happens if I kill a scav? Wiki says it will fail the objective. Failing objectives in storyline tasks sounds bad

[distant obsidian]

No

Arena goes to both

[main reef]

theres like 200k exp in quests you can redeem in pve

[copper osprey]

you just gotta do it AGAIN

in next raid

[quartz thicket]

Its just a restart

[copper osprey]

you literaly can not kill a single scav

[distant obsidian]

It keeps resetting. So your ok

[inner belfry]

Thanks for confirmation. uff 🙂

[distant obsidian]

And once you complete 1 map. It's saved

[rare field]

Boee on reset

[final pawn]

doing bullshit solo was the funniest quest ever

ended up jumping out of dorms second floor and blew myself up with a nade when I was done

[copper osprey]

did it solo HATED IT LIKE so much

[main reef]

are the v40 mini nades any good ?

[distant obsidian]

@final pawn @rare field you guys are wearing the same dress. Going to need one of you to change so I can tell you apart better

[copper osprey]

i just happend to have a good spawn and no scavs in dorms at the time i got there

[rare field]

[distant obsidian]

The same border on your PFP lol

[gaunt rune]

My only and last tower defense was dota 1 and I'm glad I didn't have a good PC for dota 2. Changed my life for the better

[main reef]

just shot a yellow at the exit

[quartz thicket]

What? Dota isn't a tower defense lmao

[glacial osprey]

green means go

yellow means wait

red means stop

[gaunt rune]

Idk what you kids call it

[glacial osprey]

moba

[quartz thicket]

Dota is a moba, tower defenses usually have TD in the name, they're a very specific genre. You defend with towers, typically building a maze with them or surrounding the predetermined path

[gaunt rune]

Last time I played the next concurrent thing was heroes of newwrrsth or whatever the name

[distant obsidian]

Haha yeah, another wc3 spawn

[quartz thicket]

Lots of Wc3 tower defenses are on Steam now

[distant obsidian]

That one died.

[cursive sky]

Calling it a TD is blasphemy though

[quartz thicket]

calling dota a td is a slight against TDs

[distant obsidian]

It's what they were called back then

Wayyyyy back

[cursive sky]

Not when HON was around

[glacial osprey]

i mean... you do defend towers in dota

[toxic patio]

why does it feel like when i wear heavy armor the ai only goes for my legs lmao

[gaunt rune]

[quartz thicket]

I know MOBA wasn't coined yet but I dont recall anyone calling dota a TD

[distant obsidian]

I'm talking about wc3 custom games.

And sc

[glacial osprey]

should they go for the neck?

[toxic patio]

so an Rts, then?

[distant obsidian]

That shits probably older then most people here

[toxic patio]

i remember playing sc2

[distant obsidian]

That's where current MOBAs came from yes

[quartz thicket]

I was alive for BW drop, i dont remember if i was for SC1

[distant obsidian]

They all started as SC and wc3 custom games

[toxic patio]

god most current mobas are just so much worse

[grave dew]

backend servers dying?

[fleet loom]

i think u can throw them further but they generally do way less damage. good for forcing ai to move if u dont want them to accidentally die to the nade

[distant obsidian]

I remember playing sc1 customs in high school

[toxic patio]

a good SC2 game is way more enjoyable

[fleet loom]

and theyre super light

[main reef]

nice

[toxic patio]

protoss for the win

i used to do that cheesy ass strat where i'd just put a pylon near their base and throw a ton of turrets down on it

Too bad SC2 units sound like little bitches compared to Wc3/Sc1

I wasn't sentient yet for that release, but I was alive and kicking

[toxic patio]

so half the time i avoid playing v ersus with them because they don't even want their friend to enjoy the game they just wanna win

Rock and roll racing. Fuck yes

I was alive for that. God what a classic

[marsh wing]

i ahve my drills, just need 2 more toolsets lol. Im gonna buy the stuff to craft them

my first game was super mario bros 2, Megaman X was the first game I grinded the fuck out of on repeat though, loved that game

[distant obsidian]

Yeah probably lol

Time sure flies eh?

[marsh wing]

im going through all my junk boxes and checking the wiki to see what i actually need lol

[distant obsidian]

You have no idea lol

Or maybe you do

[glacial osprey]

sell everything

[cursive sky]

I sadly do lol

[distant obsidian]

Yeah...

[heavy nymph]

sell everything and "darn i had that" through the entire game

[toxic patio]

bruh, what a way to die, i get naded by a raider less than ten seconds off of spawn

[quartz thicket]

I wish you could export and import your wishlist

[orchid crest]

Humble bundle?

[toxic patio]

i've lost like 4 kits right off spawn on reserve just trying to get the reference quest done

[quartz thicket]

Man remember when humble bundle didnt suck

[orchid crest]

My favorite thing about humble bundle is they’ll put one game worth playing at the $20 option but then fill a bundle with the most dogshit shovelware you will ever open on your computer

[cursive sky]

Humble bundle still exist? Lmao

[orchid crest]

At least Epic gives you those for free, not that you’d redeem them

[quartz thicket]

Back when they had 12 games per choice there was like 3 or 4 good games in a pack. Now its 8 choices with half of a good game usually. Or its a game so old most people already have it

[distant obsidian]

Is it on humble?

[quartz thicket]

Get the free games from epic and block their servers when you're not downloading shit or playing online. Fuck their telemetery bullshit

[orchid crest]

Wasn’t sure of the game you were talking about, just saw that post and thought of humble bundle lol

[distant obsidian]

Ah fair

Rock and roll racing. So the blizzard arcade pack

[orchid crest]

Smart! But honestly they’ll help haven’t had a free game worth redeeming since Civ was on there

[heavy nymph]

is there a way to win in arena without cheating?\

[orchid crest]

LOL

[orchid crest]

RIP, good game too

[quartz thicket]

Thats a fair opinion to have but I've gotten a couple games that I've loved for free off epic. Deathloop I got, had no idea what it was when i got it, couldn't stop playing it until I finished it

[marsh wing]

is the M3 Super 90 worth keeping?

[distant obsidian]

Very

[quartz thicket]

Quest item, but its not super rare or anything

[distant obsidian]

No

[orchid crest]

There’s a handful of games I grabbed from them, you just gotta be patient lol deathloop was also p good

I got Kerbal Space Program, Mothergunship, and Alien Isolation too and put a good number of hours in them.

[quartz thicket]

i hate that control click moves up to a full stack instead of the full stack

Like if you got 20 bullets in an ammo box and you try to c+click in a full stack you gotta double click it

[onyx depot]

imagine how many half stacks of ammo you would have if it didnt work that way

[obsidian pine]

@quasi apexold codes footlicker

[quartz thicket]

So take the full stack, merge it in the case, and send the rest too

[onyx depot]

yeah, im sure there is a better way to do that.. but thats how it is

[quartz thicket]

Or just send the full fucking stack if the case has room, no need to dick around with taking out 15 bullets from 1 stack to make stack 2 full

[onyx depot]

it's a very first world problem that.. lol 😂

[quartz thicket]

If you're putting together 1/2 stacks and shit sure its helpful

Idk, is russia a first world? or the states? i dont think it counts anymore

[heavy nymph]

it would be cool if to great heights for pve worked for custom matches

[quartz thicket]

Too easy to farm, but it would be

[vernal spindle]

Is tagilla bugged on factory? 6 raids in and no spawn

[jaunty notch]

are goons on lighthouse?

doing lightkeeper intro quests

[quartz thicket]

Nah you just get a stretch where he doesn't spawn, then a stretch where he does, rng happens

[onyx depot]

was just about to ask.. havent seen them in 50+ raids

[pulsar tide]

loading into customs looking for them now but not sure what map they are currently

[inner belfry]

just minced them on customs on bsg servers

[jaunty notch]

lit ty guys

[quartz thicket]

Probably shifting soon. They've been reported on customs for a while

[hidden summit]

if you google goontracker pve like 4 websites pop up that are fairly reliable

[willow tinsel]

labyrinth is so stacked its insane

fking 3 pfilters bitcoins, fuckton of stims, gpus, fuck marked room keys xd

[quartz thicket]

#screenshots message what the fuck is this jaeger daily? lmao

"I found some batteries while you were out getting those batteries, here i only need one"

[tiny axle]

That's my problem, i dont play customs on bsg servers I should start. I want another grenade launcher

[hidden summit]

i have yet to get the six shooter

[quartz thicket]

If you mean the underbarrel I get them from cultist circle all the fucking time. If you mean the 6 shooter I heard he sucks for spawning with it

[tiny axle]

Yeah the 6 shooter. I have 1 from beginning of wipe but a 2nd would be twice as sick

[hidden summit]

the one time big pipe had it on shoreline he ESP'd onto me from 200 meters and nailed me with absolutely 0 LoS on me behind a massive rock

[spiral pecan]

i have 8 msgls

and i wiped

[quartz thicket]

ESP'd or was scouted by birdeye? (We all know it was ESP lmao)

[tiny axle]

Damn I've only fought them on customs so he never gets to use it on me. I can try shoreline but I'll have to insure a good kit lol

[hidden summit]

0 LoS on them, my buddy about 30 meters to my left in the open watched them lit up the rock i was behind and i saw it all on stream

[spiral pecan]

if he has the msgl he has the 45-90 feet det grenades so he probably wont kill you with it

unless if hes like super fucking far

[hidden summit]

he was super fucking far

[quartz thicket]

Imagine he just domes you with the undetonated shell

[spiral pecan]

and yeah the goons esp a lot

ive been wallbanged and have had knight try to headshot me through a rock

[hidden summit]

i dont mind them having laser accuracy with rifles and whatnot

but they have the most godly grenade throws ive ever seen

[tiny axle]

They always see me first, but take the time to yell and whiff a few shots

[quartz thicket]

Yeah i usually get a few red tracers across the screen and enough time to get into cover. I think i got like a 60-70% win rate vs goons

[hidden summit]

it all depends on if you have something to hide behind within 10 feet of you when they lock aggro on you

[tiny axle]

Knight is my only issue but I've started running higher pen than 30 so even he will be a breeze

[mystic marsh]

Wait, who's Joe?

[glad nebula]

Goons just is a matter of taking hard cover and covering their approach

Then magdumping them to the face as they come around the corner one by one

[tiny axle]

Joe mama

[hidden summit]

got cought between fortress and skelly last time i died to em and the nearest cover was like 25m away

[quartz thicket]

agreed

[glad nebula]

If you get caught without cover it's over

[hidden summit]

yeah, goons is generally easy as theyre quite predictable

knight pushes, the big pipe

[quartz thicket]

man all i get are defibs from necru this is ass

[hidden summit]

then birdeye will eventually push after a little while

[cursive sky]

Or get stuck trying

[quartz thicket]

yeah i usually have to hunt down bird

[mystic marsh]

So true

[glad nebula]

It's weird, drops from the tents outside interchange are so much better than the locked rooms inside interchange I feel like

[hidden summit]

there are 2 partially open cabinets in necrus in which ledx's and defibs can spawn, they will usually fall through the cabinet onto to the floor and you need to prone+lean check the base of the cabinet

sometimes you can see the leddie sticking out

[glad nebula]

No effort to get to, and high chance of ledx and similar tier loot

[hidden summit]

often not the case

[glad nebula]

Damn that's terrible, you'd think after all these years they'd fix the super hidden bug loot

[quartz thicket]

defib, salewa, and esmarch. bah

[glad nebula]

Shit still spawning below the ground in places apparently

[quartz thicket]

The chair in 314 spawns bitcoins inside it, gotta play search the seat cussion

[hidden summit]

bro, ai can still vacuum loot marked room

hell even worse, you can get a marked room with literally not a single item spawn (looking at you dorms 314)

[quartz thicket]

AI can vaccuum krugs office too, so fucking lame

[glad nebula]

Yeah sometimes marked rooms are just busted

[orchid crest]

314 has been a horrible key for me

[glad nebula]

Went to dorms marked on PVP - just a single deagle. That was all.

[hidden summit]

it was insane about a month ago

[orchid crest]

Out of 10 uses 2 violet key card and just guns

[hidden summit]

like super busted

[pseudo kayak]

best place to do tarkov shooter pt 7?

[hidden summit]

then they shadow nerfed world loot

[glad nebula]

Yeah world loot was nutso over christmas I feel like

[quartz thicket]

which one is that?

[orchid crest]

The flare camp on interchange isn’t even worth going anymore smh

[hidden summit]

ive found reserve marked rooms are about the only ones consistently giving halfway decent loot

and thats even pushing it

[pseudo kayak]

pmc headshots 45+m away suppressed bolt action

[hidden summit]

ive gotten one black card and one green card out of 40 marked room hits on reserve in the last 4-5 weeks

[pseudo kayak]

would factory work?

[quartz thicket]

Harder to get 45m line ups on factory, i think i did mine on customs. Sat on the 3 story metal stairs in the middle of the map and tapped the map

[pseudo kayak]

it's foggy and snowing rn 😭

[quartz thicket]

Yeah thats a problem then

[fleet loom]

ive gotten 5 blacks and like 4 greens

[hidden summit]

but dorms is by far the worst marked room in pve right now, would not reccomend burning your key uses

[fleet loom]

in maybe 2 keys each for both bk and pkpm

[onyx depot]

314 now. Val, AKM, 8k rubles and a teapot

[pseudo kayak]

whatre the chances of cultists on factory?

[quartz thicket]

2%

[pseudo kayak]

any way to know?

[onyx depot]

no way to know for sure

[hidden summit]

my last reserve raid has a impact in bunker, a keytool in black pawn, and no items in the other one

[pseudo kayak]

how do you even really tell that they are there?

[onyx depot]

find them

[quartz thicket]

Run around and get stabbed

[fleet loom]

vo is like only guns for me

i found a red in there once and thats it

[pseudo kayak]

no breathing or anything?

[thorn token]

you can see them prone on the ground

[quartz thicket]

They have footsteps now but other than that they dont have unique lines or anything

[hidden summit]

ironically my black card and green card from the set of keys where from bunker in the same use

[quartz thicket]

if you hear breathing its tagilla

[thorn token]

if you wear nvds, run at night, and see dudes posted up laying on the ground, they're cultists

[hidden summit]

other than that sweet fuck all from the ocassional tripple m60 spawn which is still shit but nice to take out 200+ rounds of m80

[quartz thicket]

night fact isn't even that dark

[onyx depot]

they usually wont shoot immediately..

[thorn token]

that too

[somber flax]

how many labrys card can u barter with jaeger for per reset?

[quartz thicket]

they shoot if you get close to priest, but otherwise I can play tag with a follower for like 2 minutes lol

[quartz thicket]

2

[somber flax]

ok cool thank u

[onyx depot]

i tried that once.. didnt work

[thorn token]

priest always has the hood on, so if you see the hooded guy on the ground, it's the priest

he'll have 3-4 followers around him

if you can, locate the priest and all the followers and make a plan for taking them out, starting with the priest

[onyx depot]

i got ambushed by them walking through the playground on shoreline.. that was terrifying

[quartz thicket]

My plan is usually bait a follower into a choke and kill him, then kill the rest as they're rushing the body

[thorn token]

oh yea thats a tough spot for them

no cover

[onyx depot]

i've never zigged and zagged so hard in my life

[thorn token]

if you're cultist hunting, the easiest is customs

[hidden summit]

always try and get eyes on the priest first, or kill him first as hes the one that usually spawns with marked keys, followers generally just have ammo thats worth taking

[thorn token]

carefully go into stronghold and then scout around the area

[hidden summit]

this

[thorn token]

they wont spawn inside the stronghold area, just around the outside area

[quartz thicket]

Thats where i do my cultist hunting, but I am very less tense than ACP is suggesting. I literally run into fortress trying to bait a follower into knifing me

[thorn token]

so if you can get in there, go to second floor and just look around

[hidden summit]

ive found them chilling by factory emergency exit, in the bushes by stronghold gates, all over blue gate, and even at ruaf bushes

[thorn token]

thats about as far into stronghold as they go

[hidden summit]

gotta be very thorough outside and inside all of their spawn areas

[thorn token]

you'll never see them prone in the main stronghold areas though

if theyre already aggroed before then yea you can see them

inside

[hidden summit]

yeah ive never seen em first or 2nd floor, but after finding them in basement its a must check for me now

[inner belfry]

5 raids no cultists, bad rng here

[hidden summit]

the ammount of times i mustve dipped and reset thinking they werent up and in reality were probably down there keeps me up at night

[thorn token]

id doubt all 5 of them would be down there

[hidden summit]

yeah it happens, i think the longest ive gone without seeing them was 8 raids

[quartz thicket]

This'll do it even more, they dont just spawn at the beginning of the raid, so they could have spawned right after you finished checking

[thorn token]

it's not that big of an area, and they tend to spread out

[quartz thicket]

I saw that automodded pear xD

[hidden summit]

i did have them show up at health resort on shoreline with like 5 minutes left on their spawn timer once so i should know this

[hidden summit]

yeah idk why that did that

[thorn token]

i usually get really lucky with cutlist and goon hunting

[quartz thicket]

too many repeating characters triggers the automod

[thorn token]

everytime i've gone looking for them specifically theyve been there first raid

[spiral pecan]

2% spawnrate. go customs they don't have a whole lot of places to hide & the maps small while having 25%

[hidden summit]

when you get more than you ask for and end up fighting cultists, goons and reshala at fortress

not a good time in my experience

[quartz thicket]

Woods is 25%, the rest are a little lower but not much

[spiral pecan]

they got buffed by 5%

[thorn token]

both boss sets can be there?

[spiral pecan]

woods is 30

[thorn token]

and not kill each other?

[quartz thicket]

ah right i forgot about the buff

[spiral pecan]

but theyre a genuine pain in the ass to find on woods+not a lot of cover

[quartz thicket]

I prefer to fight them on customs and shoreline

[spiral pecan]

ive had cultist goons and reshela

its possible

[hidden summit]

idk if there was something funky with spawns or pathing but i spawned big red, ran to fortress to get lit up by cultists and reshala out of nowhere had goons push me

serious pants pooping fight

[quartz thicket]

I got jumped by cultists, sanitar, and parmesan

[hidden summit]

fucking parmesan

[inner belfry]

I like that too

[quartz thicket]

He ubgl'd me while I was searching tree on woods once lmao

[hidden summit]

was looting vorons on shoreline to suddenly get lit up by him on my way out, drop him, disarm like 7 tripmines thinking its safe now, only to head out towards healthresort and as i hit a tripmine like 80m away from where i fought him a pmc voicelined at the literal exact same time

monkey brain hear pmc

monkey brain stop moving and kill pmc

monkey blow up

[quartz thicket]

thats rough buddy

[hidden summit]

all my friends were watching too

was embarassing

[thorn token]

the pve habits be bad

i find myself stopping too when hearing a pmc now lol

[hidden summit]

never played pvp

[thorn token]

instead of running for cover like i used to

[hidden summit]

and after seeing the skill level some pvp players have, absolutely zero interest in pvp

[thorn token]

oh yea theres a reason i dont play pvp anymore

[cursive sky]

I got 2.5k hours in pvp in roughly 1½ years of playing, real sweaty, now I just like chilling in PVE

[thorn token]

but the stopping after being spotted by a pmc is something only pve can get away with

[quartz thicket]

I've been playing shooters for 25 years competitively, this game aint really built for PvP

[onyx depot]

welcome to the dark side :3

[hidden summit]

yeah no doubt

pmc's in pve are a bit too easy, lets you for sure make some bad habbits

[thorn token]

it's not built for competitve play, but it is built for using actual squad tactics and other milsim aspects and does that well

it just doesnt work when you fight someone whos either cheating or is just insanely cracked unless youve got a good squad

[hidden summit]

honestly i wish that pmc groups either spawned in bigger numbers, more frequently or atleast didnt have braindead ai, not like headtap you onsight, but when you drop one and all they do is go hid behind a container looking at the sun it gets a bit underwhelming

[thorn token]

agreed

[hidden summit]

would be nice if the repositioned, flanked

[quartz thicket]

Supressing fire and flanking would go a long way for immersion

[thorn token]

i dont need laser beams, but i want more tactical ai

[hidden summit]

kinda why i enjoy glukar fight. his guards will spread, hold angles, push you ect

[cursive sky]

Thanks

[quartz thicket]

Alright everyone. Going to attempt bullshit solo. Going in with stun grenades and a pistol to leg scavs so they cant chase me

[onyx depot]

another 314 - Mazoni's weight and a KS-23.. wow :/

[hidden summit]

apparently there was some event, kolundir or some shit like that before i started playing that really upped the anti with pmc ai

[quartz thicket]

(its ante, just so you know not being a dick)

[hidden summit]

yep that checks out, cheers.

refer to monkey brain comment i made earlier

[quartz thicket]

Ye I just assume english is second language most of the time

[onyx depot]

i mean, you are a pear scented gecko.. cant expect too much brain :3

[thorn token]

its anti new, new websters just dropped yesterday

new is also the now new

[hidden summit]

this guy is hip

[quartz thicket]

websters stopped being relevant when they started adding every other slang word

[onyx depot]

LOL

[quartz thicket]

might as well be undictionary or what ever that is

[hidden summit]

embarrassingly no, English is my maternal language, i am bilingual but words are just hard.

[marsh wing]

im going to use my only rooster on the hall of fame

[thorn token]

slang is vital though to be in a dictionary, vernacular changes constantly and new words are added all the time. It sounds stupid to you, but if the word catches on more permanently then it's just a new word

[hidden summit]

run labs, youl get dozens more

or just hit safes on customs

[marsh wing]

not to that point yet sadly

i still need to learn the other maps

[thorn token]

labs is pretty easy to learn once you run it solo a few times

its very small, and very segmented too

[hidden summit]

customs and interchange were the first two maps i learned, labs is very easy to learn but can be quite dangerous. reserve is another very lucrative and easy one to learn but again can be quite dangerous

[thorn token]

the only real confusing place is the basement, but you dont need to go down there ever on pve except for tour

[glad nebula]

Some raiders lit me the fuck up in labs, when they start shooting you through windows and weird peeks where you can't even see where they are, labs gets real scary

[quartz thicket]

Customs and Interchange were also my first learned maps, i still have yet to really learn reserve, I know the general layout but other than seeing the chess pieces on the building i dont really know which is whihc

[thorn token]

reset your position and go somewhere else

[hidden summit]

tbf you dont need to ever learn basement except for how to get to d2 from marked

[thorn token]

throw a nade in the direction of the raiders and dip

[glad nebula]

I was in a room with my only feasible exits leaving me having to move past the raider, and I was busted up bad already. It was rough

[hidden summit]

if you for example always go in through black pawn, its easy to figure out the one route you need to hit bunker

[thorn token]

learning reserve bunker is pretty useful for rotating through the map safely

[marsh wing]

i know the general layout of customs, but i still have more to learn tbh. I have a handful of quests to do there, but ive been rolling through ragmans interchange ones

[thorn token]

you can reach most places from bunker

[hidden summit]

yeah i guess i hadnt considered that

[thorn token]

glukhar is generally not in the bunker at all, unless he spawns in black bishop basement

[quartz thicket]

I want a gif of the 'lizard' meme but is gecko slapping his brain going 'gecko'

[thorn token]

he can wander in then at that point but very rarely

[hidden summit]

honestly, always play with a map up on a 2nd monitor or phone or something, bring a compass if you really need to

youl learn maps very quickly

except maybe wood

woods*

[glad nebula]

Woods you just gotta learn to recognize the trees

[thorn token]

bunker is great though when glukhar at some spawns can lock down half the map at range

[spiral pecan]

died to a cultist because a pmc thought it would be funny to blow my legs off god damn it

[marsh wing]

bro doenst know i already do this. i play on a 27in curved, i have maps up on a 32in 4k, and discord on a 10in

[hidden summit]

ive been playing for a little over 2 months, have 6 ish years of experience working in forestry (wildfire and silviculture) and i still get lost on woods every time

[thorn token]

just learn to spot the mountain and then run there

[quartz thicket]

I just listen for Shturman shooting his svd at 100rps

[hidden summit]

my saving grace on woods

[marsh wing]

Yeah, im slowly learning woods, but i dont play it enough

[onyx depot]

when you shoot a cultist in the head with .338 and they just get up and run away 😄

[thorn token]

eventually youll recognize other landmarks, like the lakes by scav bunker, the rocks in between emercom and sawmill, the powerlines, and the fields by old sawmill and scav town

[spiral pecan]

avg russian

[onyx depot]

too true

[thorn token]

really the biggest thing you have to learn on woods is where the fuckin borders are

[hidden summit]

oh hey look a minfield

[thorn token]

minefields are marked by a small sign that can be missed if you're tunnel visioned

[glad nebula]

Yeah in all honesty you just gotta learn to recognize the spawns, or it's always the same "welp time to run around until I recognize some landmarks" mess

[hidden summit]

oh hey look i got killed by invisible mosin man

[quartz thicket]

Oh a piece of shrapnel, oh a piece of shrapnel

[supple island]

#screenshots message reserve marked rooms are so back

[marsh wing]

bro i spawned into woods one time on the border, i saw the landmine sign, and ran in the opposite direction of the sign, and then proceeded to still get blown up

[quartz thicket]

Bro spawned on the corner rip

[glad nebula]

The loading screen in Tarkov really should give you pre-information about roughly where you will be spawning, in all honestly. The PMC doesn't just arrive at an area without knowing where he's entering, but as the player we are just left with no info whatsoever. Makes no sense (for new players)

[thorn token]

you spawned by usec camp, theres an unmarked minefield there with a spawn next to it

[hidden summit]

my buddy did not see the landmine sign

[glad nebula]

Old heads obviously just learn to immediately recognize every single spawn immediately

[hidden summit]

gets blown up by the first mine

[marsh wing]

i had zero clue what happened and i just went to play a different game

[thorn token]

the minefield is on the hill between usec camp and scav bunker

[hidden summit]

panics and takes 2 steps forward

head eyes

[glad nebula]

[thorn token]

prob was the unmarked minefield hill ngl

[quartz thicket]

Theres a lot of QoL shit that should be in this game but nikita wants to cry 'realism.' I dont need quest markers floating over shit like in WoW but a compass you dont have to hold out and read would be nice

[thorn token]

you just have to know thats there lmao

[hidden summit]

nah it ruaf side or something

[final pawn]

do scavs still spawn on labyrinth after the intial wave plus bosses are killed, havent seen any ever

[hidden summit]

he just blew past the sign off spawn

[marsh wing]

yeah i know about the minefield, but i didnt know i could spawn between the minefield and border

[glad nebula]

Yeah, lots of really dumb design decisions made in this game I gotta agree. That minefield being one of them

[thorn token]

i do a lot typically

[strong obsidian]

computer activate bussdown ap system

[thorn token]

its annoying especially if goons are there, the only way out is in birdeyes sightline

[glad nebula]

If nikita wants to make bank he needs to add a $100 DLC for new players that gives them a special-slot utility that is just a straight up GPS map item

[strong obsidian]

i am once again asking for sg-c10 COFDM spawns, been looking for weeks and have only found 3 for network provider

[glad nebula]

Shows you exactly where you are on the map when you pull it out

[thorn token]

honestly i'd fuck with a gps map ngl

[glad nebula]

Can you pull them via the cultist circle 6 hour?

[dense sentinel]

Just make the empty spot next to the gym in hideout a satcom center

[spiral pecan]

yes

[thorn token]

not sure how it'll work into tarkov lore though, with the emp knocking out most electronics

[quartz thicket]

Just make it part of intel center

[strong obsidian]

My last 10 cultist circles were all 14 hr timer besides one, the single 6 hour timer i got wasnt even an item i had a quest for

[dense sentinel]

And then have us somehow build and launch a satellite with mechanic and electronik

[glad nebula]

I have both drip out quests so I'm fucked for the cultist center

[thorn token]

nah it has to be useful earlier into the game

[solid nebula]

Which one would y'all choose?
https://discordapp.com/channels/521608697764380694/521620581326520331/1468009334515699856

[glad nebula]

Really screwed myself there

[quartz thicket]

left

[spiral pecan]

6b45 for side plates

[thorn token]

it can be a heavy investment, but has to be accessed early on to actually be useful before people just learn the map

[solid nebula]

It's a trade off between weight and protection

[glad nebula]

For easy cultist circles I usually do the lab key card to g18 rifle or whatever barter, and just throw the rifle in the cultist circle. But I get them for basically free from ref since I play arena dailies

[quartz thicket]

SAS for a thor is cheaper

[glad nebula]

Cheaper than 18 or whatever GPs that I have hundreds of?

[thorn token]

honestly a satcom center would be dope, you could do a lot with it i feel. make it so you can see where your squad is on the map if they've also built the equipment

[glad nebula]

I mean with PVE the PVP restrictions are less of an issue so it could be easily doable here

In PVP it would cause all sorts of balance issues I'm sure

[hidden summit]

rb ptkpts or whatever the pkpants key is called

[thorn token]

nah, just make it so you can only see your squad mates

[hidden summit]

util closet in reserve bunker by marked room

[quartz thicket]

Considering you could be using those GPs on armor kits that are 5m a pop, yes

[thorn token]

it becomes an info tool

[strong obsidian]

I burned two entire keys and all i got was MGT and mcable every open 💔

[glad nebula]

I just don't want to add even more benefits and advantages to large squads. They are already massively advantaged in PVP

[thorn token]

as they should be though

[hidden summit]

rough, just keep hitting, ive gotten like a dozen from there on one key

[twilit heath]

yellow and black card in cultist circle LETS GOOOOOOO

[thorn token]

a well coordinated squad should stomp everything

that's about as real as it gets

[glad nebula]

It's PVE in here, one armor kit lasts for like 5 raids minimum

[hidden summit]

enter, hackerman

[thorn token]

we're talking about an ideal world here

[jaunty stream]

Pocket grenade go

[quartz thicket]

??? The armor repair kits, that are 5m that are required for hideout?

[strong obsidian]

Has to be fir for hideout

[glad nebula]

Bought a 0 quality one for 200k rubles, then did the craft to make it FIR

[jaunty stream]

Armour kit lasts 5 raids?? wat

[thorn token]

i've had one armor kit all of 1.0

[glad nebula]

I thought he meant armor as in a kit you would wear

Not an armor repair kits

[hidden summit]

oh dude, i stocked up on kitecos during christmas event, every kit i run i have a double off (light, medium, heavy ect) and i still havent burned through a full plate in one of em, those things repair like -1 point per raid they get blasted on

[strong obsidian]

Goated tip going to do this right now

[marsh wing]

should i keep running a MP5 because i have it or nah?

[quartz thicket]

if youre not hunting bosses sure

[marsh wing]

well i need to kill Killa, so probably something else then

i might throw on a G36

[quartz thicket]

I'd recommend something else yeah lol

[hidden summit]

if youre low level id honestly say run a 5.45 gun untill you get peacekeeper level 4 since BT and BP is so easy to come by

[glad nebula]

I just keep running AK because decent ammo is so plentiful

Nikita really throwing russian ammo at us by the bucket

[hidden summit]

bp spawns all over, every fucking boss runs BT so its easy to leave a raid with 200 rounds of it

[hidden summit]

now if only he started feeding me more 7n40

[inner belfry]

Finaly got cultists on customs... no priest. At least they had some knifes

[marsh wing]

i mean, i have a handful of M856 and A1

[quartz thicket]

Priest is there, hes just hiding

[inner belfry]

we've been running all around the place

throwing nades and dancing

[quartz thicket]

Check the bushes, hes laying down in one or dead already

[strong obsidian]

I was running the labyrnth for cofdms, killa donates plenty of 7n40 and bs, tagilla has ppbs sometimes but mostly saiga 12k fa with ap20

[quartz thicket]

i had the same thing happen to me, i killed all his followers and couldn't find him, he was sitting in the bush next to fortress toward sniper scav

[inner belfry]

probably the latter, there were pmc's around

[hidden summit]

iirc priests wont voice line to nades, gotta get in knife range of em or aggro them with bullets

[glad nebula]

How tricky is solo labyrinths in PVE? Doable or quite hard?

[inner belfry]

I usually had him running around me like a clown in fortress

[quartz thicket]

Solo labyr is easy as fuck dude, if you can land headshot and have pen6 ammo you're fine

[hidden summit]

listen, interchange killa scares me, evil killa would haunt me

[strong obsidian]

Very easy, probe with nades just outside of your spawn, wait for tagilla to push, wait for killa to push after you kill tagilla, guards show up before or after tagilla, after that theres small chance for more guards to spawn later into the raid but it rarely happens

[quartz thicket]

I'm more scared of regular killa than vengkilla, vengkilla just runs into your bullets as you shoot him

[hidden summit]

does he????

[glad nebula]

How much ammo do I need to bring, roughly?

4 60round mags?

[hidden summit]

i just assumed hed thorax me with ppbs even harder than he does on interchange

[quartz thicket]

I bring 2 60 rounders with pen ammo and 2 30s with flesh for scavs

[glad nebula]

I wish I could do that, but often the hold-r-to-choose-mag stops working for me

[strong obsidian]

I can manage with 2 95 round drums of 5.45 out of a nl545, and like a mag or two of poop ammo for making it to the transit on shoreline itself

[glad nebula]

And then I'm in panic mode

[visual remnant]

did pve get a glow up for full release or the same?

[quartz thicket]

Yeah thats been an annoying bug lately, I just go into inventory and rightclick->insert mag if i have enough time

[hidden summit]

they nerfed loot in pve after half of the first players to escape were pve players is my take on it

[visual remnant]

ty for info. any improvements to pmc ai?

[somber flax]

why is orb 1 1.5mil bruh

[quartz thicket]

what region are you, i got the orbs ill run ya

[glad nebula]

"hehe I'll just buy a kiba outer door key"
5 milly

[somber flax]

nah its fine, its just like bruh why so expensive for nothing

[hidden summit]

i havent been playing for that long but again this is my take, pmcs have good aim but are dumb as bricks

[quartz thicket]

cause pre-wipe market players are assholes

[hidden summit]

honestly i just hit kiba for t6 korund plates because i love the korund

[somber flax]

wut

[hidden summit]

i mean it is a good place for gac 4sss and kiteco plates too

[jaunty notch]

kollontay guard had christmas ornament?

[glad nebula]

Yeah I want dem t6 plates and I don't want to keep running to the interchange grumpy hideout

[onyx depot]

i find the neck protection is a bit low

[jaunty notch]

why is that still in their loot pool

[somber flax]

same with shturman

because we r 1.0 ready

[hidden summit]

i just dont like the ghzel because grey dosnt match with anything

[onyx depot]

6b's are nice

[hidden summit]

all black loadouts look operator af xd

drip or drown

[quartz thicket]

god damnit

[onyx depot]

love my FDE

[quartz thicket]

im doing bullshit and parmesan has hunt me down

i gotta break his leg and run

[hidden summit]

i run the jpc for lightweight multicam, the thor ic for FDE, and either the stitch profile or korund for black on black

blackjack for multicam, trooper for FDE and rush 100 for black

[strong obsidian]

I think he ignores broken limbs, pmcs too, i try to leg them for my friend to get easier kills but they always sprint away

[hidden summit]

team wendy exfils and fast mt's

[quartz thicket]

AI can use pks 🧠

[onyx depot]

yeah ill show you in a bit, just in raid now

[strong obsidian]

They must always be on pk then cause ive never found an ai pmc affected by blacked legs

[quartz thicket]

ibuprofen lasts 600 seconds doesnt it?

280

[strong obsidian]

Alot less than it used to

[quartz thicket]

damnit a scav bled out before i could extract

gotta do this shit again

[marsh wing]

damn, pmc just one tapped my scav

like, literal 1 tap

[quartz thicket]

"Locals arrived BLAM"

[hidden summit]

"scav spotted, over there"

[marsh wing]

i mean, i wasnt expecting much. He was fighting another scav below idea registers and i rolled up with a PM. I started shooting from maybe 100-150ft away

8 shots fired, only 1 landed

[quartz thicket]

theres 0 bleed chance on the bullet i used god damnit

[onyx depot]

#screenshots message

[jaunty notch]

klimov street sniper just F'ed my thorax

flare did not work

inever use the flare gun so i misjudged i guess

[glad nebula]

Apparently flare gun is way different in angle than normal flare

[hidden summit]

posted mine there too

[quartz thicket]

Yeah flare guns just shoot out, not up

[glad nebula]

Flare gun seems utterly useless considering a green flare is dirt cheap and goes into special slot anyway

[jaunty notch]

ya i did like a 45 angle and did not work lmao

[hidden summit]

flare gun also goes into special slot

[quartz thicket]

def gotta be higher lol

[jaunty notch]

always use normal flare i guess

[glad nebula]

Yeah but why would I bother with a flare gun and ammo, when I can just buy a 6k ruble flare and be done?

[jaunty notch]

time to bait scav for co op extract ig

[quartz thicket]

Cause its a cool gun and not a stick

[jaunty notch]

81 kg and dont wanna use obd2

[glad nebula]

Just an excuse for Nikita to tarkov me with those flare extract snipers

I'm not falling for his tricks

[quartz thicket]

I haven't died once using the signal pistol but do you

[jaunty notch]

i will play with angle just been using normal flare for years

[glad nebula]

I haven't even tried using signal pistol once, because as per previous explanation it's useless to keep around relative to flare

[quartz thicket]

I aim like, 80*

You cant shoot acid green out of a cartridge

[glad nebula]

I guess I won't impress the AI PMCs then

[quartz thicket]

You ever shoot one of those at fortress? its scary having Reshala and his goons charge at you, even if its not to kill you lmao

[onyx depot]

those are nice too

[glad nebula]

I think I found one years ago, but haven't seen once since

[agile tinsel]

i actually found one since 1.0

not sure what ill use it on tho

[twilit gulch]

how is the spawn rate of loot behind lock doors?labs and marked rooms?i remember it being bad but that was a few months ago

[quartz thicket]

still bad

[glad nebula]

Kinda doodoo seems to be the consensus

Apparently the new room on reserve is good? Only a matter of time until nerf I'm sure, if it isn't already

[agile tinsel]

loot behind locked rooms are fine. its the price of the keys that make them not worth using usually

[twilit gulch]

i need to get the far foward gps unit thingy lol

[quartz thicket]

i find like 3-4 in one raid every once in a while, just hit yellow and violet and you'll get it eventually

[hidden summit]

month and a half ago it was insane

about a month ago they nerfed it into the ground

[quartz thicket]

just before the christmas nerfs it was stacks on stacks on stacks

[hidden summit]

keycard like every other dorms hit

labs? a dozens stims per room

[quartz thicket]

2 btc + 2 intel in res unit more often than not

[hidden summit]

wait theres a 2nd bittie spawn in rez unit??????

fuck

[quartz thicket]

theres like 6

[hidden summit]

FUCK

[agile tinsel]

ignorance is bliss

[quartz thicket]

there 3 on the bed missing the matress, 2 under it, 1 in the laptop, and 2 in the regular bed, but those are also regular valuables spawns that have a chance of spawning btc

[hidden summit]

NO KIDDING

[hidden summit]

OK i feel less bad, i always check under the bed and on the matress, never knew it was a btc spawn tho, only ever gotten a bittie off the table

[marsh wing]

is there a chance that killa just doesnt spawn? only place i havent checked is goshan

[hidden summit]

yeah either that or hes hiding in a hallway or one of the restaurants upstairs

id still play it safe

[quartz thicket]

haha the flashbangs worked. finished solo Bullshit

[flint silo]

is there insurance on terminal?

[raven hearth]

LHkeeper didnt give me final docs but "batya" was completed
now kerman 7/8 and i got nothing to give him
SBEU Soft lock?

[quartz thicket]

You gotta pick them up on the table

[onyx depot]

just killed all the goons on customs with a black chest.. got ambushed by big pipe with an M60

[patent grove]

How large is Tarkov

[hidden summit]

yes

[patent grove]

I mean gbs

[quartz thicket]

yes gbs

[patent grove]

It’s not that big

[quartz thicket]

fine
no gbs

[marsh wing]

went into interchange prepared to take on Killa and Tagilla. I saw neither of them...

[pseudo kayak]

istg this game just doesnt want me completing pt 7 tarkov shooter 😭

[frigid saffron]

you can do eeeeet

[pseudo kayak]

spawning me at big red w no pmcs is evil

[frigid saffron]

run dorms/gold room area

[flint silo]

how do i check what material my armor is

[raven hearth]

if they were there)

[frigid saffron]

check skeleton buildings, fortress, new factory building, power switch factory, new gas, and gold room. Those are the main pmc spawns. If you spawn at the tank extract watch the bridge, they like to cross there early

[frigid saffron]

inspect

[flint silo]

i alr tried that, it doesnt show the material

[quartz thicket]

what armor?

[flint silo]

6b43 zabralo-sh

[keen night]

just inspect and hover over the plate

[quartz thicket]

you have to hover the inserts

[flint silo]

oh is it only plates

[frigid saffron]

yeah

[flint silo]

ah

[quartz thicket]

yeah plates have the desc in their boxes

[flint silo]

i see

[quartz thicket]

inserts have to be hovered

[flint silo]

i thought the actual body armor had a material too

[quartz thicket]

Think its just cloth

[keen night]

korund is aramid

[flint silo]

is UHMWP the best plate material?

[frigid saffron]

I would say its debateable on all account. Best is tier 6. Best repairable is another thing

[keen night]

depends on what you consider best
I like steel more than UHMWP

[flint silo]

like for a terminal run

[keen night]

again, depends on your prefs

[flint silo]

i need a high durability high pen resistance plate but i dont understand which one is better

[frigid saffron]

they are all durable at tier 6.. the issue is how much repair can be done

[keen night]

not that much
some got 45 dura while other are at 60

[quartz thicket]

Anyone one need the peanut mask? got it on my scav

[shell lava]

what are the top few items to craft so you can level up crafting fast?

[flint silo]

would you say the gac 4sss2 plate is good? its t6 and made of uhmwp

[frigid saffron]

fleece, bandages

[shell lava]

compare values on online websites

[shell lava]

Crafting counts for ALL workstations right?

Med/Lavatory? right?

[frigid saffron]

alternate. you dont get exp if you do same craft over and overt

[frigid saffron]

lavatory

[shell lava]

okay i will spam lavatory

[frigid saffron]

in medstation do pile of meds, and cheese... in workbench make red, blue and green gunpowder

[quartz thicket]

I crafted Med piles and a-10, went back and forth between the two food packs and sugar when i have the chocolate, fabric sheets in lavatory, and gunpowders in the workshop or what ever

[shell lava]

alrighty thanks

[shell lava]

got it, thanks

[sand rose]

I got capped twice yesterday. Once at noon, once at 1900. Still don't have my first set of gear back from Prapor

[frigid saffron]

just alernate each time

[quartz thicket]

hes got a 24-36 hour return doesn't he?

[sand rose]

Only if you don't have the Intel upgrades. Mine's L3, so it should be very much less

[quartz thicket]

I got ll3 intel and I never noticed insurance coming back faster

[frigid saffron]

I have noticed lately that I dont get the notification on messages that there is a return. Had to go to him in messages to see

[sand rose]

Check it again. There should be a value on there for Insurance Return Time

Mine's -26.8%

[sand rose]

I get that a lot myself

[quartz thicket]

yeah, but whos to say if they actually implemented it? Like air filter is still fucked up

[sand rose]

How dare you make good points /s

[quartz thicket]

😗 ♥

[scarlet violet]

goals and means is SO FUCKING SLOW

[sand rose]

But still, if it was the full 24 to 36, it should be back any second now, increasingly so

[quartz thicket]

Not wrong there

[scarlet violet]

spent hours to get 3 kills

w/ termal

[frigid saffron]

whats that saying? A watched pot never boils..

[pseudo kayak]

welp i just found out that the goons are on customs 💀

[sand rose]

Lmao

[brisk stag]

Thanks for the heads up.

[quartz thicket]

Data: I'm running an experiment

[scarlet violet]

trying shore line and reserve seems to be the same

[pseudo kayak]

I ran into them while just waltzing around and i was in the open yw

[brisk stag]

Great, means I'm safe to run my Lighthouse quests

[pseudo kayak]

heard the "OH YEAH" and knew i was cooked

[quartz thicket]

I just imagined The Kool Aid Man dressed as big pipe

[sand rose]

I do got a funny story: was playing in a duo the other day in Shoreline working on Shooter Born in Heaven. Me and my pal get up to the camp (real good place to PMC hunt) and all the sudden we get lit right up. I lose both arms and have my guts hanging out, so I take cover while my pal starts cleaning house. We get done and start scavving bodies and who is it? Birdeye. But there's no Knight or Bigpipe around? My pal jumps on the grenade launcher and starts pelting Weather. No noise, so we extract. Turns out he plinked Bigpipe at Weather with the GL. Knight was doing whatever

[brisk stag]

Sounds about right. I'vee had Knight chase my over to checkpoint by the old Smugglers boat extract on Customs just because I dared to run by the warehouses.

[frigid saffron]

i just wish the AGL gave credit for grenade quests

[hazy gorge]

knight was gooning

[brisk stag]

stares at 60% Grenadier progress

[sand rose]

That's what I figure

[scarlet violet]

i wish there was a spot where pmcs spawned

[quartz thicket]

time to fuck reshala with this 12ga saiga fa

[gray wigeon]

respirator? check
rpdn? check
lets clean some interchange

[sand rose]

Check Mapgenie.io, they got em all there

[hazy gorge]

-head, eyes by a pmc

[toxic patio]

i alwys get pushed by knight and birdeye and thensomehow sniped out of nowhere by bigpipe

[scarlet violet]

thx

now i need to find where they go and how i can get a clean 100 meter shot xD

[hazy gorge]

i dont get pushed by them

[frigid saffron]

depends on the map, but they usually spawn in the same spots

[hazy gorge]

i push them

[jaunty notch]

ai is very bugged on streets

[scarlet violet]

yah, that usually doesn't work when i need xD

[quartz thicket]

Ai is very bugged*
fixed that for you

[jaunty notch]

multiple raids scavs and boss are trying to beam me through multiple walls and buildings

they just keep shooting lol

[gray wigeon]

stop insulting their mothers

[hazy gorge]

i see that youre a very funny man

[toxic patio]

my friends and i have abug where occasionalyl one of us will get shot through like, four layers of dirt and a door by a sniper scav across the map

[gray wigeon]

was today some shadow buff to interchange? i get so much more loot than yesterday

[quartz thicket]

Just RNG doing its thing belle

[sand rose]

The funniest part was I got shot through the roof of the lower building when I tried to get height

[pseudo kayak]

if i wasnt in the open man that wouldve gone diff 😭

bc they made NO noise they were just sitting in the cracks of boiler room building

[hazy gorge]

Yeah that's a skill issue bro trust

If you dont want to get pushed by the goons

Push them yourself

[sand rose]

Yah, didn't know they could pen through the roofs there. Now I know. Knowing is half the battle

[quartz thicket]

#screenshots message

Get legged shitters 😂

[hazy gorge]

The first 15k hours of the game is a tutorial

[sand rose]

Agreed for the heckin sure

[quartz thicket]

You dont really have a handle on the game until you quit playing it lmao

Anyone else we have hotkeys to do shit in the stash?

[hazy gorge]

No

I drag all my shit

[quartz thicket]

Like hover over a mag and click u to unload it instead of going through the menu

[sand rose]

Same

[hazy gorge]

If it works it works

[quartz thicket]

Or god forbid multiselection

Oh. that was my last skier task for kappa.. One trader down
