pve-chat

[wicked crow]

yeah no

[tiny tangle]

whats the RB-BK marked key for never seen it

[wicked crow]

its for the room at the top of the map

in the bunks

[tiny tangle]

what map l;ol

[fierce parrot]

theyre there more than any other map lmao

[wicked crow]

reserve

[tiny tangle]

oh ok

bro im finding every key but room 206

been looking for this key for the past 2 hours

[wicked crow]

you have a 10 million dollar key lol

well

[tiny tangle]

wut

[jaunty stream]

Rub

[wicked crow]

maybe less now

[jaunty stream]

not dollar

[wicked crow]

ruble yeah whatever

[burnt panther]

RB-Bk is a marked key, so, expensive

[tiny tangle]

good loot im guessing?

[wicked crow]

im wrong

the reserve key is way cheaper apparently

[tiny tangle]

its going from7-10 mil

[wicked crow]

still 700k

[fierce parrot]

VO is the most expensive for reserve atm

[jovial cobalt]

its a bit of a gamble

[wicked crow]

im thinking of the dorm key

[jovial cobalt]

you CAN get good stuff but uhh sometimes its like completely useless shit

[fierce parrot]

dorm key has gone WAY down

[burnt panther]

vo is like 8 mil BK is staying at around 10 mil

[fierce parrot]

damn nvm then BK is the most expensive

[burnt panther]

I lowkey got better loot in vo instead of bk

[tiny tangle]

i got it out of a bag at dorms

[burnt panther]

Nice

[wicked crow]

just keep it for now shove it up your butt

[fierce parrot]

VO has been great for my M80 suply

[wicked crow]

will be worth it when you start running reserve and making some easy money

[tiny tangle]

yea honestly dude pve is more chill than pvp

[fierce parrot]

so many m60s lmao

[burnt panther]

Use it 9 times and then if you get the other two use them 9 times and trade it for dorms marked key

[tiny tangle]

been playing pvp for the past 3 years and just got on pve and have been enjoying it 10x more

[wicked crow]

i've lost faith in m80

[fierce parrot]

brain dead tarkov is fun every now and then

[burnt panther]

I lowkey just like the funny interactions with randoms on pvp

[tiny tangle]

i keep getting hunted by partizen tho

im not even sitting anywhere

[wicked crow]

Point blank with a g28 and knight eats 6 rounds of m80 in the face

[fierce parrot]

M80 has and always will be my goat

[wicked crow]

it happens, just pay attention

[cursive sky]

Used to be a sweatlord in PVP with 2500 hours, now I just enjoy chilling in PVE on my own terms

[wicked crow]

thats what i thought until last raid

[tiny tangle]

hes jump scared me about 5 times now

[mystic marsh]

It is good, it has decent stats and can be bought from traders which is hella important

[burnt panther]

I may be wrong but does his headgear have high deflect chance?

[wicked crow]

idk it's just fucking bullshit i literally can't miss with how close he was and i still fucking die

[mystic marsh]

I personally don't even use ammo I can't get from traders

[wicked crow]

red dot on the center of his big ass head

[mystic marsh]

I'd rather use ammo I can reliably obtain than ammo I can only find in raid

[mystic marsh]

Hitreg

[burnt panther]

I just use non buyable ammo to hunt bosses

besides that whatever is best I can buy

[wicked crow]

plus they were fucking hiding on the switchbacks to the chalet

[mystic marsh]

Hitreg, I died to a pmc after hitting him with my 7.62x51 in the head like 4 times

[wicked crow]

like they didn't even push until i was right below them

lost my sbih gun

not that it was really all that good but like

wtf

[tiny tangle]

im not used to having my inv so full lmao

[mystic marsh]

Tbf I'd use craft ammo to hunt bosses

[burnt panther]

Its non buyable ammo

[mystic marsh]

Craft ammo is better than buyable ammo usually and can still be obtained reliably

[burnt panther]

But yeah same really

[wicked crow]

save your dogtags and get a jumkbox

junk*

[mystic marsh]

Although obviously in much smaller quantities

[tiny tangle]

oh i got eod i got one already

[fierce parrot]

bolty against killa is not a good idea with M80 lol

[wicked crow]

wuh

eod doesn't give you a junkbox

[tiny tangle]

i just have only died 3 times

[mystic marsh]

Killa is a bitch

I killed him by accident in the same raid I got his brother

With m855 no less

[burnt panther]

I just shoot killa in the head with 50 bmg cause fuck him

[fierce parrot]

338 AP my beloved

[wicked crow]

i've killed killa like 5 times using 9x19 is his legs

[tiny tangle]

oh my b unheard

[burnt panther]

I killed him with a TT the other day

Just to send a message

[wicked crow]

still doesn't give you a junkbox it gives you more stash space

[fierce parrot]

ive knife fought Tagilla and won

[wicked crow]

you're still gonna need a junkbox eventually

[mystic marsh]

I killed tagilla with a tt once

[fierce parrot]

checkmate atheists

[tiny tangle]

idk what ur talkin about i got one on both pvp and pve

[mystic marsh]

That one tarkin video

[burnt panther]

So far my TT kills are Reshala, Killa, Tagilla, and Shturman

[wicked crow]

what

[burnt panther]

I plan on killing all the bosses with the TT

[mystic marsh]

Killing reshala with tt should give an achievement

[wicked crow]

i've never heard of unheard giving a junkbox

[tiny tangle]

on my account when i booted my game up it gave me a junk box

right off the bat

when i started my pve

it gave me the same thing

[wicked crow]

you mean your secure container?

[warped imp]

Call it, "The Game was Rigged from the Start"

[tiny tangle]

nope

[wicked crow]

wtf

[warped imp]

Or return to sender

[wicked crow]

am i crazy

[tiny tangle]

bro idk what ur thinking it gave me a junk box

[mystic marsh]

But he would survive then and go on revenge quest

[burnt panther]

If you have EOD or Unheard yoiu get a fuck load of stuff to start with like weapon case scav case ammo boxes

[tiny tangle]

yes

[wicked crow]

uh

[tiny tangle]

one of the weapon case junk box and ammo box

[wicked crow]

i didn't even know

[tiny tangle]

plus armor and some good guns

[mystic marsh]

I'd buy unheard but 200 euros kinda steep

[wicked crow]

when I bought unheard i already had cases so i never even noticed

[fierce parrot]

saved my last use of 314 for PK quest

severely dissapointed

[mystic marsh]

Which quest?

Place a marker inside?

[fierce parrot]

cult Pt2

[wicked crow]

yeah when my friend did it for cultist there was one gun and nothing else

[mystic marsh]

Oh thank God I've done that

[wicked crow]

pretty sad for a 10m key

but then again all the keys seem to suck tbh

the only keys i've gotten good loot from are the labs cards

[fierce parrot]

reserve marked keys have been good to me

[mystic marsh]

There's no risk in using 314 other than opportunity cost

[wicked crow]

its just more annoying like it seems like keys are more worth just selling

like i got ultra med key and said 5m is cool but im sure ill make more using the key, hit it 10 times and zero led x spawns

Hello griefers and cheaters with vacuum

[mystic marsh]

I play pve specifically not to play with randoms

[jovial cobalt]

"we have an idea"

[jaunty stream]

You'll probs be forced to play Local then

[jovial cobalt]

nikita has had many ideas about eft that never happened

[jaunty stream]

If that is a thing

[wooden sinew]

are we ever gonna get ammo back on flea?

[jaunty stream]

Probs not xd

[jovial cobalt]

probably not i assume

[mystic marsh]

But some maps don't even get local

[jaunty stream]

Some? you mean 1

[quartz thicket]

2 techincally

[mystic marsh]

Labs, labrys, streets

[jovial cobalt]

i still remember nikitas idea of changing streets lighting to be static so either daytime streets or nighttime streets, to help optimization; still never happened

[mystic marsh]

Iirc terminal too

[jaunty stream]

Labs is local but sure

[quartz thicket]

Labs isn't forced online

[mystic marsh]

Fr?

[twilit heath]

god damn so many keys that i remember to be goated are actually ass now

[quartz thicket]

Frfr

[jaunty stream]

terminal is local if you load shoreline local

[wooden sinew]

wasnt the only problem before the 1 use ammo pack thing? why cant we just get good ol fashioned ammo by piece on flea

[mystic marsh]

Interesting

[wooden sinew]

im running out of ammo and having to run poop ammo for quests

[jaunty stream]

Sooo like yeh 1 map forced Online

[twilit heath]

merin key used to consistently give me bitcoins

[nova plank]

The key that I found is worth the best is pharmacy. It’s only like 2mill and 40use, I found 2ledx and a bunch of defis in 10uses

[jaunty stream]

2Mil? aww hell naw I remember when it was like 40k

[mystic marsh]

Define poop ammo

[wooden sinew]

also is loose loot back to normal or should i leave my marked room keys on standby?

[nova plank]

I find atleast 1-3 defis every 2-3opens, ledx more like 5-8opens once

[twilit heath]

pharmacy used to be shit

[quartz thicket]

stand by

[jovial cobalt]

are goons on customs

[wooden sinew]

low pen flesh ammo

[nova plank]

Lmao yeah it got buffed i think

[burnt panther]

yes

[jovial cobalt]

is that why i just got mortared by 3 random grenades

[fierce parrot]

how many cultists usually spawn again if its a full group?

[nova plank]

Best thing is you don’t gotta turn on the power and run 3 stories up

[jaunty stream]

Craft BCP FMJ, Sost, BT Gzh

[burnt panther]

Could have been scav bosses his guards or pmcs the Goons tend to run you down and kill with guns not often nades

[wooden sinew]

atm im doing the sr 2m task

[jovial cobalt]

yeah they havent come running yet so that's why im doubting its the goons

classic reshala guards mortaring grenades that airburst right at my head moment

[wooden sinew]

but it eats ammo if you get tagilla spawn or lucky more than 2 pmcs

[jaunty stream]

Buy and stack PS Gzh or P Ghz

[burnt panther]

Ahh yeah that thing is an ammo guzzler I usually take it and another light smg one for killing riff raff and the sr2m for the pmcs

[jaunty stream]

Ammo sucks but that's unlucky because of the weapon

Also awful crafts for ammo

[wooden sinew]

i mean the task is any target kill, so gotta use it for everything. i try to pick up a PMC or scav gun to help with tagilla tho

luckily my pmc kill had a mutant with flesh ammo. helped a lot

and ended up still getting the tagilla kill with the shrimp

[burnt panther]

Just bait tagilla to a doorway and then either arm or leg him usually easy to take out

[wooden sinew]

ye thats what i did, plus if you dont break his helmet you make more profit from ragman

i think i busted it up with a grenade this time tho so still only like 40k profit on the mask

[quartz thicket]

How much is it even worth? I always blast it

[burnt panther]

Tbh I never take his shit I always leave everything and just check for keycards or good ammo

[burnt panther]

helmet is like 83k to ragman for me

[wooden sinew]

tagilla mask is about 80k

if its busted takes like 30+ to repair

[quartz thicket]

thats not terrible but I'm not gonna lose any sleep for leaving them

[burnt panther]

armor repair kit

[wooden sinew]

true idk why i still havent bought one

[quartz thicket]

cause they're 5m

[wooden sinew]

ig i was hoping i would find one before this point but i havent

[fierce parrot]

no marked keys on cultists why live

[burnt panther]

Yeah I did the same ended up just buying one and thanks to the craft it only costs like maybe 50k to craft it to full durability when its low

[wooden sinew]

what is xp like on cultist kills? scav xp, pmc xp, something different?

i rarely run nights and usually so my buddy can hunt them

[burnt panther]

Think they count as guards and boss xp

is pve servers messed up rn? stuck on awaiting server start

[bright sand]

nope

[marsh belfry]

No one informed me damage overflow is cut by 30% to legs before i tried to hunt tagilla

Boy am i glad bsg made him not spawn somehow 3 times back to back on factory

My math was wayyyy off 💀

[nova plank]

Take AA12 with 20 rounds load in RIP ammo and bro will never walk anymore

[rare field]

about 86 raids left for elite surgery

[nova plank]

What does elite surgery do?

[rare field]

Elite level: Increases surgery speed (+20% → +40% total)
Elite level: Reduces surgery HP penalty (-50% → -100% total: Limbs are restored with full HP)

[nova plank]

Oh shit huge

[rare field]

Still need 179 raids for elite troubleshooting aswell

[marsh belfry]

I dont think i have access to aa12 BUT i redid my math and found out through a friend that dmg overflow to STOMACH actually increases by 5%

So if I do a lil questing and grab myself 45 rips for a vector

Hehehe

Tagilla you will feel many razors in places you dont like having razors in

[wooden sinew]

does walking backward from tagilla ever actually work? im beginning to believe it only works for clips

[mystic marsh]

Elite surgery is pretty fucking good then yeah

Shame I will not achieve it

[mystic marsh]

Just headshot full auto him with decent ammo

And I mean even m855 works in less than a mag

[wooden sinew]

im trying to do the sr-2m task

[mystic marsh]

Leg meta

Maybe actually also headshot full auto

Depends on your ammo I guess

Pretty sure decent sr2m ammo can headshot full auto him crack the mask and kill him

[wooden sinew]

doesn't work when he bum rush one taps me in the worst location possible to run into him

right as I spawned too

[mystic marsh]

Do you HAVE to kill him on factory?

[wooden sinew]

also i already ran out of the high pen ammo from traders. fuck the flea nerf

[mystic marsh]

Just go interchange he a bitch there and always alone

Legit farmable lvl 6 plates

[wooden sinew]

no I dont need to kill him, i need to get kills on factory

for test drive

[copper osprey]

i am one 1 side happy the ammo can't be sold on flea but also unhappy as high pen ammo takes a while to get lots off

[mystic marsh]

Bring a second gun to kill tagilla specifically

[wooden sinew]

i usually picked up a scav semi auto shotty for that but like

[mystic marsh]

Also test drive quests fucking suck are they even required for kappa?

[wooden sinew]

i didnt have a chance no matter what this time

i tried walking backward to not get one tapped, remembered not to shoot this time for speed

head tap dead

[mystic marsh]

Well fuck, they are required

[wooden sinew]

ntm when i see clips of streamers getting hammered by tagilla they survive 2-4 swings somehow but i have never EVER in over a year of playing been any less than 1 tapped by his sledge hammer

[mystic marsh]

One of the reasons why I'm not going for kappa is because of quests like this, fuck this shit mannnn

I'm gonna escape with my Epsilon

I'd rather fucking buy arena and get theta than go for kappa

Test drive part 2 is also pretty annoying because the requirements are very specific yet not mentioned in the actual quest description

[wooden sinew]

i mean on one hand i understand forcing people to farm ammo, scavenge kills, or swap weapons around to use good ammo. on the other hand its really annoying when some not even great ammo is restricted to one raid worth max buy

[mystic marsh]

Yeah I hate how some ammo is just "here's 20 rounds per trader refresh, don't spend it all in one place bucko!"

[wooden sinew]

the only bad part of part 2 is the maps

basically the 3 worst maps for actually finding more than 1-2 pmcs per raid

in pve*

[mystic marsh]

No. It's the fact that quest won't count if you don't have mp5sd rear sight or any other arbitrary requirement part that isn't listed anywhere in the quest and you'd HAVE to go to wiki for

[wooden sinew]

i mean its a stock mp5sd with pro sight

just dont remove the irons

[mystic marsh]

GZ isn't that bad for pmc hunting, I did punisher part 6 there in like 5 raids

It is however bad for using a fucking smg

At least svd actually lets you get easy kills

[wooden sinew]

in pve mp5sd is honestly overpowered

any fast firing 9mm with low recoil

[mystic marsh]

6.3 isn't the greatest ammo

[wooden sinew]

there are zero masks

[mystic marsh]

Pfft anything works then for head eyes tapping

[wooden sinew]

nobody out here bringing killa mask every raid

[wooden sinew]

exactly, and 9x19 is particularly low recoil

[mystic marsh]

I am pretty sure 6.3 also can't pierce lvl 4 helmets

So you have to aim for the face specifically

[wooden sinew]

my biggest struggle for TD 2 was just finding PMCs outside of spawn in interchange

[mystic marsh]

GZ

[wooden sinew]

i probably should have done more GZ but like

I would rather do more tasks than just TD

[mystic marsh]

Just go GZ and follow scav gunshots or memorize pmc spawns, easiest map

[wooden sinew]

ntm easy 80% tagilla farm

[mystic marsh]

Punisher part 6 was a breeze on GZ after having to do part 5 😭

The word "paca" still brings me ptsd

[wooden sinew]

hit PMCs that spawn near you or power station, loot whats close, kill tagilla and dip if no quests

[mystic marsh]

Paca soft armor 😭

[keen juniper]

Punisher 5 is easy

[mystic marsh]

I love getting one tapped to the thorax

So easy!

[wooden sinew]

paca is whatever tbh, ngl the only times i died during that task was when i got a surprise visit from killa

[keen juniper]

Shoot faster

If they die they can't shoot you

[mystic marsh]

Hitreg

[wooden sinew]

run local

[mystic marsh]

I tapped a pmc 6 times to the head with 7.62x51 dmr, he didn't even flinch even when red mist came out of his face, tapped me in the torso, dead.

[wooden sinew]

tbf i can relate to that part at least

[mystic marsh]

And my teammate was calling me trash

[wooden sinew]

i have come across a lotttt more immortal AI since 1.0 than ever before

[mystic marsh]

@glacial osprey I hate u man

[wooden sinew]

ntm any time iiiiiii fight goons they all are one tap except for Knight and his "totally lvl 1" face mask that bullets just teleport through. but when my buddy is on he one taps all of them

fuck knight and his mag dump eating face

[mystic marsh]

This mf was calling me a pug 🐶 because I kept dying to pmcs in paca WHEN I WAS SHOOTING THEM FIRST but hitreg was saying "nah you didn't" and then the pmc one taps me to the torso because their shots always reg

Also why is it that my shots don't reg often but the enemy shots always reg

Unless they also don't reg sometimes and it's survivor bias

[wooden sinew]

when wearing paca, just play it like gears of war

cover is stronger than paca

[mystic marsh]

Rush with melee?

Chainsaw.

[wooden sinew]

if we ever get tark chainsaw, you already know it'll be locked behind Arena lmao

[mystic marsh]

The thing is I rely on my front plate a lot because usually I wear 5 or 6 plate or at the very least 4 and pmcs can't pierce that so they usually give you enough time to hit them even when they are shooting at you and even when your hitreg doesn't let you kill them first

[wooden sinew]

i mostly rely on my back plate bc anything im facing usually just thanos snaps my arms before anything else

[mystic marsh]

Since only bosses/their thugs hit your face and only sometimes

[mystic marsh]

Arms aren't a big deal tbf

[marsh belfry]

wouldnt stomach be better?

[mystic marsh]

Maybe

[wooden sinew]

dont jinx yourself. theres a TT scav around the corner whos feeling lucky today

[marsh belfry]

that goddamn laser swinging by me terrifies me

[mystic marsh]

I don't think I ever died to scavs when playing seriously

[young frost]

face meta

[mystic marsh]

I've seen my friends die to thorax neck tho

Never happened to me but I guess it can

[wooden sinew]

did you play pve after hardcore wipe update?

every AI was on god mode aim bot for months

[mystic marsh]

Played pve after 1.0 only

[marsh belfry]

def can, happened to me twice by scavs and once by sanitar's guards

[mystic marsh]

Current scavs are LOCKED to thorax or arms, usually they just miss tho

If they hit your face it's most likely because you crouched

And caught the bullet intending for your thorax

SOMETIMES they can hit the neck tho

[mystic marsh]

Bosses and their guards have better aim and will sometimes aim for the face

[wooden sinew]

ah yes, the notorious stray buckshot to the neck

pesky, that 5.25mm

[marsh belfry]

yup, tagilla got me in the face at 30 meters with one shot

ive been planning on his demise since then

[mystic marsh]

Condolences

[marsh belfry]

he WILL feel pain

[mystic marsh]

Tbf when fighting me tagilla is extremely stupid and has scav tier aim

[mystic marsh]

I'm lucky I guess

[wooden sinew]

ive def had tagilla one tap my face from >30m with shotgun

[marsh belfry]

forrrr the most part yes actually, he just got lucky the first time i encountered him

the rest he has missed me or at least missed me by an inch

[mystic marsh]

I fought killa from sub 10 meters recently and he destroyed my front plate but that's all he did and I managed to kill him

[marsh belfry]

and let me tell you replacing underwear every time gets expensive fast

[wooden sinew]

heard he was shooting his saiga so i thought i was safe fighting him from 3rd floor catwalk down to gate 5

i learned my lesson quick about this thing called spread

[mystic marsh]

Funny that it waa the same raid when I killed tagilla too

So I guess I got them both

Was my first ever killa kill

My comrades weren't even close to me I was like "oh shit it's killa, oh shit I'm dead, oh shit nvm I just got art of style achievement"

[wooden sinew]

my first killa kill was an accidental saving throw

had to pull out my 5-7 expecting to die

[mystic marsh]

I still don't know how I killed killa but he died somehow

[wooden sinew]

managed to hit top pf head and somehow 2 tap through his lvl4 helmet with a pistol 25 pen

[mystic marsh]

Ss190?

SS190 can absolutely do that

I should probably load it in my five seven but it only crafts 60 rounds

[wooden sinew]

nah

197sr

[mystic marsh]

Then I don't fucking know

[wooden sinew]

lucky RNG puncture

[mystic marsh]

Iirc ss190 pierces level 4 medium

[wooden sinew]

unless he was weak and blunt damage got him

[mystic marsh]

The way I killed him was like

[wooden sinew]

ye ss190 is 37 pen

but i didnt have access to it yet

[mystic marsh]

Magdump his face with m855, he doesn't die, cover, reload, peek again and just dump the rest of the mag into him because I was already almost dead and figured I might as well go on my terms

[wooden sinew]

and i mostly just run 25 pen bc its a pistol and its fine for cheap ammo. beats 9x19

[mystic marsh]

Propital and ahf1m saved me there

Never leave hideout without injectors

[wooden sinew]

i was convinced i threaded the needle into his eye slit

but apparently thats not possible

[quartz storm]

6 hour cultist circle got me five pressure gauges...
I don't have the MCC to make solars to get bitcoin level 3, but it sure thinks thats my next priority

[mystic marsh]

My injecors case is as follows

[wooden sinew]

time to play some reserve

[mystic marsh]

3 propital (obviously)
2 ahf1m
1 sj6

[light root]

i fear Killa more than I fear an actual player PMC

[wooden sinew]

weird

[mystic marsh]

Why weird

Pretty standard case

[light root]

where the mule

[quartz storm]

well I need labs actually, because thats the only place the current convertor spawns afaik

[mystic marsh]

Too expensive I just supplement with Sj6

Ofc it's nowhere near as good but I can pop it without a second thought

Saved me a few times from going MIA

[wooden sinew]

i dont really stack anything in my injector case

my usual goto is uh

[jovial cobalt]

once you get enough attention you can bring 3-btg for instant looting chance stim

[mystic marsh]

Plus pretty sure mule isn't leve 30 flea but higher

And I'm only lvl 33 now, or 32 I forgor

[wooden sinew]

morphine, adrenaline, etg-c
sj6, l1, propital
2a2-btg/obd 2(mini mule), mule, zagustin

basically one of anything i might need for different scenarios

[main reef]

drugs

[wooden sinew]

brugs indeed

[light root]

fubn fact: I'm something like 35 raids without a single dcleaner in any bag, spawn, or body i've searched

my hideout has stagnated for a week

[quartz storm]

I really should do huntsman path - junkie before I hit level 50 metabolism, so I don't waste the quest reward levels
lord knows I have enough propital to spare

[light root]

not even a remotely rare spawn

[main reef]

i find them alot on streets

[wooden sinew]

just run around with 3-btg. theyre cheap and last long time

[quartz storm]

I sometimes find them on the customs crackhouse intel shelves

[light root]

I used to 🥲

none on streets, scav base on shoreline, underground on ground zero, customs all over the entire map

i'm mega unlucky

feels bad after ignoring every one I got bc they're useless outside of like, one upgrade

[wooden sinew]

d cleaner i get a lot from tool boxes or just loose at the shop near car on shoreline

so many possibile spawns there

[obsidian cradle]

Look in crack house

[light root]

fun fact: got a ledx from crackhouse before i got dcleaner lol

fun fact: a scav just shot through my altyn

Killa hunting break on that note, back to dcleaner hunting

Sa-58 require a silencer for recoil control?
v high recoil

[cursive summit]

Found a random bitcoin on ground zero, pretty neat

[echo mason]

gluhar spawn rate?

[heady briar]

a lot, i find him almost evry raid

[rare field]

Just black out ur legs before leaving raid and fix em

[keen juniper]

75%

[echo mason]

ty guys

[heady briar]

got marked 314 from cultist circle with 5 small diaries sacrifies, good luck guys

35 RAIDS, DCLEANER HAS BEEN FOUND

sir a second dcleaner has hit the stash

3rd dcleaner 😭 i needed one for 35 raids

also have they nerfed giving tree since 3~ years ago? I never find ANYTHING decent

[faint canopy]

can i go labyrn if i didnt wipe my account, not to sure how to get the cards other than killing tagilla

[tulip elbow]

Hey, does anyone have any tips for finding cultists? i've been trying night time customs, roaming around the scav fortress for so many raids now and i've only ever seen them once. I've tried using BSG servers but i'm still finding none

[keen juniper]

It's just rng

They can spawn behind crackhouse as well

[tulip elbow]

Damn, i thought as much, i'm just so tired of going to customs, waiting around, and extracting. I've been trying to couple cultist hunting with capturing outposts, but the PMCS seldom pass through

[tulip elbow]

ahh i'll try looking around there too

[jovial cobalt]

is marathon bugged

[obsidian cradle]

You buy the cards

[jovial cobalt]

if you didnt wipe for 1.0 you have to find the labyrs keycards somehow like thru tagilla

not sure if you can get them thru normal loot pools or stuff like scav case or cultist circle

[verbal night]

does the barter not exist anymore unless you wipe your account

[jovial cobalt]

no it got moved to the story chapter

https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Hypotheses_Testing
you get 1 from the side questline

nvm you have to use 1 labyrs card to complete the quest that comes before giving you a free labyrs card

[ashen anchor]

best way to find an SJ1 quickly?

sorry SJ9

[mystic marsh]

What do you need it for

And how many

Also, probably labs, any stims are common there

[light root]

not me accidentally wearing the evasion armband i found

rip easy kappa

[mental halo]

anyone in here want to run terminal? i have another with me. i dont escape so i can run again so seats arent an issue at escape.

[cosmic patrol]

#pve-lfg

[mental halo]

@cosmic patrol i know that but figured id put it out here aswell see if anyone wanted to run it.

[cosmic patrol]

But why would LFG exist then, if people would want to run it they check there ngl.

[faint canopy]

from whom?

[mental halo]

@cosmic patrol do i have to answer to you? does it make you upset? i posted it you either want to run or not. tired of you computer cry babies. always got to speak up but i bet in person you are a mouse.

[cosmic patrol]

if u did labrynth before 1.0, same barters, ragman and therapist. If you didnt do labrynth before 1.0 and want to do it without wiping your account -> you cant iirc

[ashen anchor]

i need it for assessment part 3 (Found in raid) just one of them and its to unlock lightkeeper

[cosmic patrol]

Did I strike your ego for mentioning #pve-lfg Thats fucking sad man

[faint canopy]

ahh man that alg, i didnt do labrynth before wipe

[mental halo]

@cosmic patrol not mine idc but people like you always got something to say. get a life instead of sitting in a game chat like it means anything all day.

[cosmic patrol]

Yeaah, then u gotta wipe. 1.0 labrynth goes through Jaeger

[cosmic patrol]

I got a life, going to a lecture as we speak. Getting an education 🙂 Thanks for worrying about me though ❤️

[hazy gorge]

ohhhh i see a discord argument cooking up

[faint canopy]

thats good to know thank you for answering o7

[hazy gorge]

My favourite part of this discord server

[mental halo]

@cosmic patrolim not worried you spoke to me.. have fun being this discord chat cool guy lmao i bet you are weird as all hell in real life.

[glacial osprey]

yes you love me

[cosmic patrol]

Nah this guy is so angry man, reminds me of birddog

[hazy gorge]

Most of the people here are angry

Those are some issues

I just troll mfs

[cosmic patrol]

You seemed to be worried about me not having a life. Now you say this, thats ironic. I am actually chill irl, somewhat weird,.but arent we all a tiny bit 🙂

[cosmic patrol]

My ragebait works like a charm.

[mental halo]

im not angry im in a vc about to hit terminal and get someone else out. weirdos always gotta speak up though because discord makes them soo cool is all.

[hazy gorge]

[cosmic patrol]

Didnt say I was cool,.if u could quote me on that would be sick. And you are angry, you gotta admit it. Like the 5 stages of grief, the first one is denial, that goes for anger too

[mental halo]

whatever you say bud. keep acting on a computer how you wouldnt in real life. sad times we live in. now imma get to my run. keep thinking your soo cool being the disord cool guy. lmfao.

[cosmic patrol]

@hazy gorge Ive come to a thesis. I do not get along with mericans

[hazy gorge]

I dont get along with anyone

Im neutral

I troll everyone

Or give actually usefull info

[cosmic patrol]

Good luck on your run. I act a bit more social on the net, but thats about the only difference 🙂 Come to Estonia and we can contradict this 🙂 I am more than happy to ragebait you IRL too xoxo

[cosmic patrol]

I 50/50 this.

Ragebait - info - trolling @stone goblet

Either 3 sometimes

[mental halo]

yeah ok bud.. have at it discord cool guy

[hazy gorge]

Its to balance out everything

[cosmic patrol]

Thank you for thinking im cool! Thats fuckin awesome

❤️

[mental halo]

oh yeaah bud just soo awesome.. i soo wish icould be the discord chat cool guy.... im over this coversation hlped me pass the waiting time.

[cosmic patrol]

Yeaaah, I have been on the 3 stages of life with ya. Gotten trolled, trolled you and neutral.

[cosmic patrol]

Hell yeah, just be a bit more social and not have a stick up your ass :).You get to become a "kewl" guy

[hazy gorge]

Real shit right there

Make this guy the president

[cosmic patrol]

Stick shit

Im being given a paragraph now

[mental halo]

if you only knew bro i really dont care but people a;ways trying to corect people is dumb to me. i dont understand trying to speak up or correct adults when it doesnt actually have any effect on anyone.

[cosmic patrol]

Ok! Correction helps because you otherwise do stuff wrong man! You seem to care though, u keep replying..

God forbid u do stuff right

[mental halo]

no i told you i knew that and you had to retort because it bothered you. some people dont look at all chats. i was going to post 1 time and leave. now im killing my waitingtime.. lbvs

[obsidian cradle]

Jager

[cosmic patrol]

U just said ur waiting time is over, what contradictory is this

[mental halo]

also im a parent takes more then an internetr troll to make me mad. ever got new all new furniture in a new house and evereything got colored on? this aint anything

the other guy would like a 3rd so seeing if that works but we can go in to terminal now thats why if you must know.

[cosmic patrol]

Congrats on being a parent man, you should then know why you correct things. Both kids and adults 🙂 Im happy for you on getting a house too man! Congrats!

[jovial cobalt]

not if they didnt wipe for 1.0

[cosmic patrol]

Doesnt change the fact of #pve-lfg

[mental halo]

naw i dont walk around correcting everything i let people do them because thats how people enjoy life. i can personally carless about any of this discord or pc stuff. this is literaally my off season hangout thing. its boring to be real thats why i dont escape terminal they need more maps at this point.

[jovial cobalt]

icebreaker map soon

[cosmic patrol]

More maps, true that. I walk around correcting stuff man, if u do something, gotta do it right

[mental halo]

i dont care about the fact of it thats why you keep talking about it because it bothers you bud. honestly i can clip my vc and send it im chilling lmao

[hazy gorge]

Soon tm

[obsidian cradle]

You might as well wipe eventually it will be force so might as well do it now

[jovial cobalt]

true^

[mental halo]

no you dont correct everything and those you dont know. maybe you live in the sky where im from you dont last long in other peoples business

[cosmic patrol]

You keep replying to me, u seem to care. I dont care about your VC though, but about correcting people I care 🙂

and I do correct those i dont know too

[mental halo]

bro i told you im chillin until i start this raid hoping a 3rd joins if not we go in until then im in here.

[cosmic patrol]

Interesting.

[gray wigeon]

just made intelligence center 2
i cna make white keycards
yeeeee therapist im coming

[cosmic patrol]

#pve-lfg message @mental halo

Boom

Problem solved

[mental halo]

yeah keep doing that until the wrong person takes your face off. thats howi know you dont do it to everyone becase the right one aint going for it. but seriouusly if you do be safe.

[cosmic patrol]

I am safe 🙂 Havent had my head taken off yet, cause people respect constructive criticism in EU

[hazy gorge]

This argument still going on?

[mental halo]

you keep talking about that whyu? we both know i know and knew about the chat befoehand and dont care.

[hazy gorge]

Damn yall MF got some problems

[cosmic patrol]

Not an argument even, im just going on and on rn

[mental halo]

yeah until my run starts im just going. lol im a talker

at this point his responses are helping me not think about waiting

[nova plank]

This Is hilarious

[cosmic patrol]

Ok 🙂 But found you a duo u were looking for. As you said above, u are looking for a guy to help out and run with

[nova plank]

And to think this whole argument came from something so minor and insignificant

[mental halo]

i had a duo to star lmao

[cosmic patrol]

I cant even say this is an argument

[mental halo]

i was looking for a 3rd or 4th

[cosmic patrol]

Then a 3-man 🙂

I linked u a guy looking to go termy

[mental halo]

right i dont have a 3rd rere

[cosmic patrol]

.

[mental halo]

who are you talking about? lol

[cosmic patrol]

@swift cloak @mental halo is trying to run Terminal, u might be able to join him

[mental halo]

hes my duo lmao

[swift cloak]

we are already a duo

[jovial cobalt]

lmao

[cosmic patrol]

... thats fucking ironic KEKW

Now that gets a chuckle

[bright sand]

[mental halo]

right as i said knew about that chat been in it and hes looking before we start

[cosmic patrol]

Interesting, but #pve-lfg exists indubitably.

[mental halo]

yes i know this

[nova plank]

Lmao

[cosmic patrol]

Then use that knowledge!

POWER THROUGH THE KNOWLEDGE!

[mental halo]

you know what else does women but you probaly cant pull them becuase just from this exchange i bet you have 0 game probably got asbergers

[cosmic patrol]

Nah, I got a girlfriend 🙂 Thanks for the worry though sir!

[mental halo]

thats a man sir

[gray wigeon]

projecting much huh?

[cosmic patrol]

Nope, a woman, a biological female.

EU isnt as fucked as the US sir, not everyone is trans.

[mental halo]

no im laughing right now bored lol imma just keep going while he is until my run if he started talking about cars thats what id talk about. like idc just talking to talk

[vernal spindle]

Can someone help with gunsmith 17, i posted my build in screenshot and its not letting me turn it in

[mental halo]

the eu is in a horrible state

[stone goblet]

Aight

[cosmic patrol]

🙏 wise words, back to arguing 😂

BUTCH PLEAEE

[stone goblet]

lets uh

stop

[mental halo]

@vernal spindle i dont see it or id help

[cosmic patrol]

dont ruin this fun

🙁 we are friendly.here

[mental halo]

hey dont jump in this its a 2 way going nowhere talk

[cosmic patrol]

although the topic went fucked

but this casual argument of tomfoolery

if we dont go on cursed topic, can we keep going @stone goblet ?

We are keeping this chat alive

[vernal spindle]

How do i forward a screenshot to here

[hazy gorge]

You forward it

[stone goblet]

[cosmic patrol]

#screenshots message

[stone goblet]

[mental halo]

seriously though if you ever want to hit terminal let me know ihelp people exfil all the time. got 7 out today 2 people on their first ever terminal run

[jovial cobalt]

im lokoing at ur build rn

[stone goblet]

Topic was walking the fine line of political

[cosmic patrol]

you copy message link and send it

[cosmic patrol]

True.

[nova plank]

Can I join too if I haven’t done any ending yet?

[cosmic patrol]

That i do agree on

[jovial cobalt]

Magpul AFG tactical foregrip (Olive Drab) instead of foliage green

[mental halo]

yes if you have a ticket or keycard to get in yes aslong as youve never escaped terminal

ill help you build a good kit and i have aroute that noone else runs.

[vernal spindle]

Thats so dumb lmao thanks

[jovial cobalt]

lol np, that one requires a very specific color for some reason

[nova plank]

I can’t I don’t got any ticket or keycard lol

I guess I’m still far behind

[mental halo]

@nova plank awh ok do you know what you are going for or what steps to take? i can help you igure it out. you can also come watch our run

[nova plank]

I think I wanna get savior seems like the best also reward wise

[mental halo]

@nova plank i mean i personally dont think any of them are worthnot being able to run terminal again but my offeer to join and whanot is still there

[obsidian cradle]

You get rewards?

[mental halo]

@obsidian cradle yes when you exfil.. main menu background, armband, money, guns, ammo, thicc cases ect..

[obsidian cradle]

Are you able to get out of terminal with out ending or dying?

[mental halo]

you keep anything you load into terminal with after the raid escape or die and you keep nothing found in raid die or escape though

no you can only escape or die

you end up back in the hideout like you never went into raid unless you escape you have the escape rewards but you cannot run it again if you escape

[obsidian cradle]

Thats lame

[stone goblet]

@mental halo I will ask you to stop asking people to join an outside server

It is not allowed

[mental halo]

yes it is whhat you mean?

[cosmic patrol]

:popcorn'

fuck

🍿

[stone goblet]

No

its not

So don't do it

[mental halo]

you cant have some on discord join a discord?

[cosmic patrol]

@hazy gorge this is nice to watch

[stone goblet]

You can't be in here and try to recruit people into your own server

[hazy gorge]

[stone goblet]

we have LFG channels for a reason

[cosmic patrol]

He said the thing!

[mental halo]

oh its not like that at all.

[cosmic patrol]

HE SAID THE FUCKING.THING!

[stone goblet]

I don't care what its like

Don't do it

[cosmic patrol]

Damn Butch

almost made a typo and called u a female dog. Yikes

[honest aurora]

Anyone that has done swift retrubition?
Can't seem to get the quest, i finished hot wheels

[gray wigeon]

need 3lions for scav case, any recomendations?

[rare field]

When Butch tells you to stop you stop

[hazy gorge]

Happens to me sometimes

[nova plank]

It’s BTR quest right? What was it about again?

[cosmic patrol]

I hate typing on phone lmfao. U and I are so close to eachother

[honest aurora]

Need to kill 10 scavs on woods, but i haven't gotten the quest after finishing hot wheels

[cosmic patrol]

restart ur game

[nova plank]

Run factory, it’s fast af and the safe has a high chance to give me

[cosmic patrol]

it may fix

[hazy gorge]

Nah its my autocorrect doing that

[cosmic patrol]

Valid

[hazy gorge]

Lol

[cosmic patrol]

bro calls people bitch more than anything

[gray wigeon]

i was in factory around 30-40 times on quest to kill in office, found only 1 lion there

[cosmic patrol]

I am still surprised they removed it from automod

[nova plank]

I find one like every 5th factory run tbh idk tho

[honest aurora]

labs if u have yellow/violet/red

[mental halo]

calm down buddy not recruiting. didnt know its not that serious. not stealing your people

[cosmic patrol]

your people? didnt know we did that still

[honest aurora]

labs also have a shitton of rare spawns

[hazy gorge]

Correct

And other words

Im very friendly you see

[cosmic patrol]

Very

[honest aurora]

nothing shows up, it's suppsoed to be from prapor? Or do i need to talk to the btr driver again

[cosmic patrol]

Check the
.. WIKI!!!

YAAY 👏

[hazy gorge]

Oh no

Not the WIKI!

[cosmic patrol]

WIKI TIME!

@spice parcel do u still live sir

this is like phone a friend

who wants to be a millionaire

[mental halo]

i mean thats how it feels like iwas being came at idont do this stuff people put me in servers all the time and ijust have ac chat server its not anything serious. idk

[cosmic patrol]

who wants to do Tarkov tasks

is the BSG version

of who wants to be a millionaire

we have phone a friend, the only lifeline

[hazy gorge]

Oh wait i forgot about tom

I havent Seen that dude in a while

[cosmic patrol]

same

[hazy gorge]

He truly escaped i guess

[cosmic patrol]

I also havent seen @chrome wren in a while

[cosmic patrol]

He escaped the launcher, Tarkov and gaming

[hazy gorge]

Some people truly escaped i guess

[cosmic patrol]

I escaped the launcher, but not Tarkov and gaming

[hushed flax]

is cultist circle bugged? it only gives me 1 item back

yesterday i put in 5 iridium and it only gave 1 iridium back, and today i put in 5 iridium and only got 1x 9x39mm BP ammo 20pcs

[mental halo]

@stone goblet i sent you a dm

[hazy gorge]

cultist circle is value based

it might give you random shit

even if its a 6 hour one

[hushed flax]

5 iridium always give me good stuff it has 400k+ value on circle

u need 400k worth minimum for 6 hour timer chances / questhideout

[crystal umbra]

Its just RNG. I used to put all sorts of "meta" things in it like 5x MP5s, G28 etc.
Now I just end up doing 3x STM9 and 1x Saiga9 for same results (its somehow still considered 400k value?).

Sometimes I'd get good stuff like tank batteries, lab cards and marked key and sometimes I'd get just a single golden egg or box of AP ammo, kek

[hushed flax]

so in other words dont use scav box and cult circle got it

[crystal umbra]

Use them only if you are swimming in money and like to gamble a bit

[hushed flax]

i dont swim in money, i need 500Mil for prapor

[crystal umbra]

Oof

Yeah thats understandable then, lol

[hushed flax]

only worth it is the 2500 rouble scav timer

[vivid bear]

Why is light keeper kill pmc around the mountain on woods so annoying I’ve did 20-30 raids seen 1 and that was at the village bunker

[keen juniper]

Assessment part 1?

The area is massive and there's PMCs always in the area

[hazy gorge]

thats not assessment

[keen juniper]

Oh Woods

I'm blind

[hazy gorge]

#screenshots message what a chad

[gaunt rune]

game is punishing me for farming cultists too early now no cultists spawn

[hazy gorge]

i got my cheeks clapped on woods

its over

[cosmic patrol]

@hazy gorge i thought u were into it

[hazy gorge]

i got both of my legs blown off by ps12b

doesnt feel very nice'

[cosmic patrol]

They turned u into something.

Something I cannot say

because I bet I would be sent into narnia

[hazy gorge]

my poor timmy legs

im just trying to survive on woods

[warm sentinel]

So I start my journey in to the task Consolation Prize, 15 extracts and 100 raider kills in Labs.

I miss having more intricate tasks than just extracting and killing, lol

[bright sand]

so now you are done with 15 extracts but 0 raiders?

[warm sentinel]

0 extracts, 0 kills, I'm starting now

[bright sand]

good luck

[warm sentinel]

ty

[cursive sky]

Damn, second redrebel in as many days from marked rooms

Question is, do I turn them in for the quest

[warm sentinel]

of course you turn them in 🙂

[cursive sky]

You are correct, only pixels at the end of the day

[warm sentinel]

if you want one to keep, you could just buy one, or keep one when you find one after the quest. I've found so many red rebels after I was done with that quest lol

[cursive sky]

Oh I already have one that I bartered for

Was just contemplating selling them for rubels on flea

[warm sentinel]

ah yeah, nah. roubles are easy to get, red rebel not soo easy

[cursive sky]

Aye, my hideout is fully built out so the rubels will just keep on stacking

[bright sand]

you will definitely get another 😉

[mystic marsh]

Try to get 6 hour timer

That's how I got my samples for peacekeeper

[cursive sky]

All the SJs for Assessment can be crafted, doesn't take very long

[mystic marsh]

Oh fr?

[keen juniper]

Yeah it's what I did

[mystic marsh]

Nice. A lot of stuff for samples for peacekeeper cannot be crafted

Luckily mule was craftable at the time on the tree

[cursive sky]

Yeah Tree was helpful

[mystic marsh]

And cultists brought me a lot of injectors for that quest too

So I managed to do it

[hazy gorge]

and now i lost all my aug weapons

cant complete refs task

[mystic marsh]

You want an Aug?

[hazy gorge]

nah i'll go back to pve until one of them come back

unless some mf takes it

[mystic marsh]

Bro I can just drop you one

[hazy gorge]

not in pvp

[mystic marsh]

Ohhh fair

[hazy gorge]

if some mf picks it up imma tweak out '

[mystic marsh]

Tbf if money is no object fence should often have Augs even in pvp

[hazy gorge]

why would anybody pick up and basic ass aug

[mystic marsh]

Even before you unlock them from peacekeeper

[hazy gorge]

im horribly poor

170k in pvp

[mystic marsh]

Yeah I can see that happening in pvp

[hazy gorge]

i'll see if i can get one from fence

or do arena until im lvl 25

100k for aug

[mystic marsh]

Pretty sure peacekeeper sells Augs at ll2 and doesn't have rep requirement

[hazy gorge]

its over if i lose this one

[mystic marsh]

Only level and money spent

[hazy gorge]

vro

i cannot even get out of woods

[mystic marsh]

You don't have pk?

[hazy gorge]

not yet

[mystic marsh]

At all?

[hazy gorge]

havent survived a single woods raid on pvp

[mystic marsh]

Try to run through iirc that counts for tour specifically

[hazy gorge]

got my legs blown off last time

[mystic marsh]

Pvp *

[hazy gorge]

almost said pve

[mystic marsh]

Not almost

[hazy gorge]

but tbh

with arena i can get some good stuff

for pvp

[mystic marsh]

True

Arena is free stuff with no risk

Just time investment

[hazy gorge]

true

almost meta guns

armor and ammo

[lavish grotto]

ref prices still a bit high

[mystic marsh]

I should wait for metal parts to go down in price, buy a full case worth of them, then wait for a wave of new players to show up and sell them when they inevitably go up in price

Wait I can just do that rn with es lamps they are very low atm

And they can go as high as 100k soon

[gray wigeon]

draw cabinets on streets/gz 80% chance to get something usefull or worth selling

[hazy gorge]

still better than doing tasks for other traders on pvp

woods is like "oh yeah im safe"

5 seconds later my head is blown off by some 10k prestige 5 sniper 300m away

[lavish grotto]

im just the person sniping

[ancient bolt]

Can we “visit” traders in PVE? Trying to talk to Jaeger for The Labryinth and the button is never available for any trader. Level 33, multiple system resets, after hours of doing raids, multiple deaths etc. am I missing something?

[bright sand]

yes you can visit traders even in pve

[dusky magnet]

Yes, it works just like in PvP. Any chance you are on an unwiped account?

Becuase story-related things aren't available if you have not reset your account after 1.0

[blazing crater]

damn

anyone know something about evacuation in shopping center ultra in interchanged?

"Norvinsk Region, Tarkov, Primorskoye Highway, 73"

[gray wigeon]

i wiped my 76lv to be able to do story

[marsh belfry]

whats the best place to farm decent ammo? like 995 or SSA APs

im getting sick of killa and tagilla's bullshit

[mystic marsh]

Iirc labs has a shit ton of good ammo

Idk where specifically tho

[marsh belfry]

in that one armory room?

[mystic marsh]

I don't go labs it's hearsay

[marsh belfry]

lol y not

[mystic marsh]

No insurance

I'm not quite at the point where I can just forcebuy kits

[hazy gorge]

wowie

2nd place in last hero

sadly not 1st

[mystic marsh]

I should probably put together a mediocre loadout that's cheap enough to forcebuy yet decent enough to actually allow me to survive and extract labs at least sometimes

[marsh belfry]

fair enough, i dont buy kits. when i die i run scavs and pick up gear off of pmc's

im not broke im just stupid

[scarlet pier]

if by place you mean map, then labs, reserve, streets, lighthouse but dont expect to find 1k rounds of one type of ammo

[marsh belfry]

one mag is ALL i need, if even

[scarlet pier]

also these are not the only decent ammo, a burst of BP (or its 5.56 equivalent, 855A1) to the face will kill tagilla

[marsh belfry]

god im gonna fucking dead check with the rest of my mags once i get my hands on killa

[scarlet pier]

then the answer is "everywhere where ammo spawns" because there is always a chance to spawn 995 or SSA

[marsh belfry]

ive managed to kill tagilla with one mag of 855's by not missing his head

[mystic marsh]

I killed killa with m855 by accident while thinking I'm dead already

[marsh belfry]

ive done that 3 times now

[mystic marsh]

He ain't allat tuff

[marsh belfry]

oh i thought they only had one spot, the decent ammo

do all ammo spawn locations have the same loot pool?

[marsh belfry]

yea hes not as tough but scary

fuckin killa with his lvl 6 helmet tho man

[mystic marsh]

Tagilla's mask is usually in bad condition already when he spawns and it's pretty easy to crack with full auto m855

[marsh belfry]

oh srsly?

[mystic marsh]

Yeah I dropped him several times just by pen tier 3 ammo

[scarlet pier]

some spots in labs have more chance to spawn high tier ammo, so I guess its not uniform

[mystic marsh]

Just focus head in full auto

[scarlet pier]

but I definitely looted packs of 995 from common spots

M855 you might need a full mag, with BP or 855A1 you just need a good burst

[mystic marsh]

Alternatively can bring a second gun or a spare mag with rounds that can pierce tier 5 and he'll drop in 2 to 3 headshots from that

[marsh belfry]

true that, not a bad idea tbh

i was in a shop near the escalators on upper level of the mall, i open the door and i find killa

[scarlet pier]

you can also mix ammo in your mags to conserve (like mixing some 995 in a 855A1 mag)

[mystic marsh]

Bring m855 or m856a1 if you have pk4 for general use. And one marked mag full of actual good ammo for boss specifically if it's killa or tagilla or both

[marsh belfry]

i run out and realize by the time i get all the way down the escalator hes prob gonna headshot me, so i decide to jump and break my legs

my blunder was not popping painkillers and instead thinking i had time to heal tbh

[mystic marsh]

If lucky your helmet can bounce a few shots from behind

Especially if he's using the smg

[marsh belfry]

he ran down those stairs fast as fuck, and i proned behind those big metal walls, only to realize their middle was made of glass lel

[marsh belfry]

he had the gun that uses ice cones i forget which one it was

[hazy gorge]

i always run m995

the best kits

[mystic marsh]

My first killa kill was when I accidentally stumbled upon him thinking it's safe and I was far ahead of my squad so had to solo him

[marsh belfry]

my first was a leech off of my teammate who hit him very hard but died

[warm sentinel]

Absolute best medicine for both Killa and Tagilla is .338 AP, one shot, each and every time, lol

[mystic marsh]

I already said "killa is here. I'm dead" before he killed me, but surprisingly I got him before he could get me. He cracked my entire front plate as it turned out later and took down both of my arms yet somehow I got the "stylish" achievement and he folded and I didn't fold

Ahf1m saved me there from bleeding out lowkey

[scarlet pier]

most of my deaths to killa and tagilla have been due to poor positioning on my part, like getting caught in the open. if you know they are near, make sure you have a fallback spot with hard cover

[marsh belfry]

what uses 338?

guns i mean

[warm sentinel]

Mjölnir for example

[scarlet pier]

AXMC, Mjolnir

[vernal spindle]

I been trying to do the secured perimeter task for a week or so now, only had 1 pmc in the correct area. Anyone got ant tips or do just have to hope they spawn there?

[marsh belfry]

never heard of either of those, expensive?

[warm sentinel]

Sako TRG too

[mystic marsh]

The funny is that I magdumped him, he shrugged it off, but surprisingly he actually was pretty low after that and when I got into cover, reloaded and popped back out before he pushed and finished me off he actually folded after a burst

Was extremely scary

[scarlet pier]

keep spamming factory raids, if you spawn far away from office rush there at the start of the raid, most often either PMCs will be there or wont

[warm sentinel]

Well, from traders 220-300k

[mystic marsh]

I killed one pmc in the office area RIGHT BEFORE I got secured perimeter task ahahah

[mystic marsh]

I'm cooked

[scarlet pier]

thats the thing, if you are in cover and at least damage them and get back to cover, they often go to healing or a defensive position and you can finish them off

[mystic marsh]

Probably would've killed him with the first mag if I had level 4 ammo I can't lie. Like half of my mag went into his helmet, a lot of bullets hit the nape rather than the faceshield

[scarlet pier]

and when they are running at you / away from you (especially tagilla since the back of his head is exposed) are the best times to kill them

[mystic marsh]

Tagilla is a bitch and free level 6plate

Cannot belive I used to be afraid of the guy

[scarlet pier]

also these are bolt / semi action rifles, so you gotta make your shots count

[warm sentinel]

Yesterday with my .338 he was stearing down my barrel and shouted "G E T R E A D Y T O D I E ! ! "

guess he prepared himself

[marsh belfry]

i can hit my shots but problem is getting said ammo

[mystic marsh]

MJOLNIR is strong asf tho probably the best sniper in the game

[marsh belfry]

can you buy that ammo?

[warm sentinel]

at some point probably, but finding boxes of .338 AP is pretty common it seems

[mystic marsh]

Yes from Jaeger ll4 also can craft shit ammo from Jaeger ll3 into the one he sells on ll4

That's just fmj tho which isn't the strongest but it alright

[marsh belfry]

so long as it one taps

what do i care lol i just want these two fucks gone when i see them

[warm sentinel]

You won't one tap bosses with FMJ, atleast not Tagilla/Killa

[mystic marsh]

It onetaps pmcs to the chest, idk if it would onetaps tagilla to the head since it only has medium five pen and the damage is good but idk if enough

[marsh belfry]

two shots?

[mystic marsh]

If two headshots sure

[warm sentinel]

it only has 47 pen

[mystic marsh]

MJOLNIR will let you do that pretty easily

[warm sentinel]

122 damage though

[mystic marsh]

I should lowkey test if fmj 338 can onetap tagilla to the head

[mystic marsh]

It probably depends on rng

[scarlet pier]

30% chance to kill on second shot

[mystic marsh]

How cracked his mask is and how much damage you're gonna deal through armor

[hazy gorge]

anddd we have a cheater in the enemy team

i sure do love arena

[scarlet pier]

with Lapua FMJ

[warm sentinel]

Saw some guy bring Mjölnir down in to Labrys, and claimed it was shit because he didn't kill Shagilla with it. He spammed FMJ at shagilla, only to get slashed

[mystic marsh]

Why so low

[scarlet pier]

if you hit faceshield (lvl6)

[mystic marsh]

I'm talking about tagilla rip

[marsh belfry]

oh shit i didnt consider his face shield

is his helmet lvl 6 or his face shield

[mystic marsh]

Also you can hit killa's nape and iirc the helmet itself is only level 4 and fmj has full pen on lvl 4

Medium on lvl 5 so idk about tagilla

[scarlet pier]

ah no tagilla is 50% chance to kill on first shot, so 2 shots is guaranteed

[hazy gorge]

my whole team left

wow

[warm sentinel]

GG's, get raped

[hazy gorge]

fun game

[warm sentinel]

Fuck arena, honestly

[marsh belfry]

💔

[mystic marsh]

Depends on how damaged his mask is initially because if it's damaged enough it will give as much protection as level 4 which is nothing for fmj

[scarlet pier]

sure, it depends whether its on factory or interchange, as in factory often tagilla will be fighting PMCs at the start

interchange hes isolated

[hazy gorge]

last hero way better than any mode

[mystic marsh]

I'm 99.8% sure his mask spawns with less than full hp sometimes

You can leg meta him on interchange only to still find the mask to be damaged

[scarlet pier]

hmm never saw it, but I take your word

[marsh belfry]

i cant tell, ive always killed him to the head lol

[mystic marsh]

One time I killed him with like 5-6 rounds of tpz 7.62x51 to the face, it's only level 3 pen, he still died

On interchange too

[scarlet pier]

7.62 has higher damage, so it can get the job done

[mystic marsh]

Maybe

It was lowkey stupid to rush him with a g28 and shit ammo

It worked out somehow tho ahahha

[scarlet pier]

website I use gives kill probab for 7.62 TCP on 8th shot

[warm sentinel]

I always tend to bring upper/mid or high lvl ammo, and somehow my guys always go "of course you killed them - we never get the chance (or get killed)" lol

[scarlet pier]

ammo definitely makes a difference, especially ammo placement (ie aiming)

low tier ammo but a neck shot (or legs if you have full auto) does wonders

[warm sentinel]

Indeed, I really struggle to get myself to legmeta, I do it sometimes but yeah, my aim goes directly for heads.

over 20 years of gaming, and headshot is what kills, it's hard to break that habit, lol

[scarlet pier]

but given your dead corpse cant aim nor shoot, I tend to emphasize my cover and fallback areas so I have the option of surviving if I miss a shot

[glacial osprey]

why not playing with us?

[scarlet pier]

very few bosses in tarkov have head armor, so headshots still count a lot

[warm sentinel]

yup, Kaban dropping like a sack of potatoes still gets me lol

[scarlet pier]

its more likely that one of their guards spawn with a faceshield, guards often gives me more trouble than the bosses

[warm sentinel]

exactly

and they're far less predictable than the bosses too

[scarlet pier]

yeah they are sometimes more reckless

always fun to engage glukhar in the open and getting shot from multiple angles

[warm sentinel]

that's probably the only thing I miss about PVP, less unpredictable fights

[scarlet pier]

if BSG ever updates PMC AI I would like to see squads of 2-3 be more coordinated

like doing wide flanks and stuff

[hazy gorge]

another 2nd place in last hero

[main reef]

chad

[hazy gorge]

these dudes too good

cant get that 1st place

what an amazing weekly

114 last hero kills as scout

[celest fossil]

Fuck man hunting cultists is so damn boring

[scarlet pier]

are you guys using TKPD? I just dont see its ammo spawning in the usual places

[hazy gorge]

its a fun gun

[gray wigeon]

go into the container outside the window, stand behind wood box inside of it and look at the window
but make sure that pmc on either gate 0 or 3 spawned

[scarlet pier]

did you unlocked its ammo from Prapor?

[hazy gorge]

yeah

[scarlet pier]

ah still looking for the second FIR RR

[glacial osprey]

no

[hushed flax]

always lovely when u need to extract X times from X location and it doesnt even spawn the extract

[scarlet pier]

Courtyard on streets

[hushed flax]

i got 16 courtyard for weekly, 2 days left

[glacial field]

Did AI get a buff recently or bosses?

[hushed flax]

nah

[loud lance]

Bad hit reg for me yesterday.. Scavs were tanky

[scarlet pier]

yeah I feel ya

worse weekly after "coop extract"

[hushed flax]

i didnt got my exit but atleast i got a GPU W

i kinda get bvurned out from dying so i just hide in the truck next to exit, no npcs coming and just wait the 7 minutes instead

[warm sentinel]

That would be great tbh, even though I feel like sometimes, they do flanks etc. But that's mostly non-PMC AI though.

Consolation Prize - 2 raids in, 9 raiders killed.
13 extracts to go, 91 kills left. Killed a BUNCH of PMC's down there though, lol

[hushed flax]

is there a way to always show timer ontop?

[rotund comet]

why is everyone in arena chads, im 3 wins to 9 losses and always last or 2nd last, cant finish the 3rd to great heights quest

[warm sentinel]

Don't think you can

[astral kindle]

No, it only stays visible in last 10 mins

[warm sentinel]

because they got some sweaty swamp asses, as well as dirty players. Oh, and peekers advantage too, combined with shitty tickrate.

[rotund comet]

i guess i'll just do dailies everyday and hope that I can complete it eventually

[ancient bolt]

That’s what it is. Dang. I really don’t want to reset my progress. Thanks for letting me know

[warm sentinel]

They say if you get more wins, you're more likely to be on a winning team or something along that bullshit. MMR is also bullshit in Arena.

[rotund comet]

how to get more wins if you always lose, kind of paradoxical

[warm sentinel]

excatly

[mossy meadow]

i have a call notification from mechanic but not chat option when i do?

[rotund comet]

trader menu > visit

[mossy meadow]

i did but nothing to ask him apart from usual

[lunar sequoia]

in the task humanitarian supplies, do you plant markers while dressed as untar?

[clever thunder]

Don't believe you have to but you have to be dressed like that for kills. Might as well do it in the same run

[lunar sequoia]

i got one tapped from the back by one of sani's guards litterally almost around the corner of admin

almost made it

im going to rage kill everyone on shoreline now

[hushed flax]

just learned that enemys cant shoot trough the glas on blue tram in middle of pinewood

[ashen peak]

Who made the raiders invincible since last night

864 absorbed 88 hit count

2 dead

I guess it's just the shitty m855a1

[loud raptor]

Nice

[keen night]

did you leg meta that raider ?

[loud raptor]

leg with m855a1

[ashen peak]

just a chest of steel

[loud raptor]

If you aim for the head they would probably die faster
