[hushed flax]

finally found rusted key to then notice i still need another wifi camera for staircase 😭

[loud raptor]

Yeah but at least you can place the 1 inside and the other one doesn’t need the key

[keen night]

at least you dont need the key for the staircase

[hushed flax]

yeah but that means i have to go to fkin streets again

[loud raptor]

The best map

[marble bronze]

Sounds like a grand time to me tbh

[distant obsidian]

I feel like this is news to some people.

I mean, stop shooting limbs lol

[indigo void]

Anyone here wanna trade a G-36 with a 60rnd PMAG, suppressor, SE-5 and a PM-II 1-8x scope for 3 virtexes?

(Just found out Virtex needs lvl 35 not lvl 30)

[bright sand]

trading not allowed in this server *gentle reminder

[indigo void]

gah damn

[keen night]

go loot pkpts

[indigo void]

I am unfamiliar with the layout that is the basement in Reserve (I do have pkpts key though)

[tame wedge]

where are the best places for military power filters? I've checked woods train depot, mountain stash, reserve RB-ST and PKPTS and toolboxes/sportg bags along way to D2

[keen night]

then take out your map and make yourself familiar
You'll never get what you need if you dont go out of your comfort zone

[rotund comet]

is it worth to barter 5 btc for weapons case?

[hushed flax]

at 6.0 scav rep things can get cheap like 1500 for taxi, 60k for cover fire, larger item transfer

[edgy notch]

wood mtn bunker was the place for me

[indigo void]

Doesn't kaban get friendly with you too?

[hushed flax]

all bosses neutral at 6.0 scav rep when ur a scav

[tame wedge]

how friendly are we talking?

[bright sand]

you can literally kiss him. i mean the distance

[indigo void]

Obviously more friendly than tagtag

[keen night]

they dont care about you as long you dont tickle them

[hushed flax]

aslong as u dont shoot them they dont shoot you or on sight

[tame wedge]

getting 40btc is like watching paint dry

[cunning sequoia]

Ez

[keen night]

just go on labs and let pmcs suck dry black

[tame wedge]

in pve?

[keen night]

ye
They loot black, you kill them, you get their intel and btc

[fierce matrix]

i'm still looking for three, fir codfms

[tame wedge]

i get cofdms in RB-PKTS

[tame wedge]

didnt know theyt loot black good to know

[keen night]

they gather in the office before black, near violet spawn, to loot that safe

[jaunty palm]

[orchid raptor]

is selling gunsmith builds an ethical business strategy

[sage marsh]

it could be

depends on pricing

[keen night]

does it need to be ethical ?

[orchid raptor]

ive seen people sell gunsmith part 5 builds for 500k roubles bro its insane

[sage marsh]

which one is 5

[orchid raptor]

ive been selling part 5s

for 300k and they actually do sell

its insane

[orchid raptor]

the m870

[orchid raptor]

it takes like maybe 100k to mod it and people buy it for 300k

[ashen anchor]

thank you

[fierce matrix]

how does this work in pve? is it just you or does it spawn ai pmcs in their locations as well?

[keen juniper]

Just you

[fierce matrix]

oh wow, no ai pmcs to deal with??

[keen juniper]

AI pmcs wouldn't make it out the rooms

[sage marsh]

just you and all of tagillas friends

[fierce matrix]

gotcha

i might have to try unlocking it then

i remember doing this on pvp, it's super try hard sweaty

[hasty dagger]

Got the second book from double black, lol 😄

[fierce matrix]

but haven't been back since

[keen juniper]

It's part of the story anyway so you might end up doing it regardless

[fierce matrix]

won't need it for the ending i'm working towards (fallen)

[keen juniper]

Slacker

[ivory hare]

just you

[hasty dagger]

For Fallen, you won´t need to do any storyline realy 😄 Just you won´t work with Kerman after you give those 40BTCs to the Mechanic

[fierce matrix]

would rather have the tarkov burning background (for the aesthetics) and the red tag

[lethal sinew]

that and debort the lighting are the best backgrounds

[hasty dagger]

Savior da best

But I am running Survivor currently

[fierce matrix]

tarkov looks too clean, too shiny

need that world war z vibe

[hasty dagger]

Too happy, right ? 😄

[lethal sinew]

[fierce matrix]

since this is pve, don't really need the rewards

[fierce matrix]

debort lightning?

[keen night]

do you even keep the reward after you wipe for another ending ?

[lethal sinew]

debort ending u get the lighting in the background

[keen juniper]

Debtor?

[lethal sinew]

nope only armband and dogtag

[hasty dagger]

Can´t wait to do the Fallen ending and last Debtor

[lethal sinew]

debtor

yuh

[fierce matrix]

ohhh

wait that has lightning strikes going off?

[keen night]

[lethal sinew]

yes go look its

[fierce matrix]

it's not just static grey sky?

[lethal sinew]

the best

[fierce matrix]

oh shit

[hasty dagger]

Nope, just a dogtag a armband and the poster, also hideout stuff, but that´s just an astethic

[fierce matrix]

but man, can't tell if that beats someone looting your tag, it being red (the only one that is i believe) with the knife through it

[hasty dagger]

You can choice, which dogtag you will have, if you do more endings, lol

[ashen anchor]

I load in a scav i see a pmc attacking Tagilla? naaah not on my watch gotta protect my girlypop so i kill the pmc and then everyone including tagilla is out for my blood bro smh lol

[hasty dagger]

If you don´t have scav karma 6.0 +, they will kick your ass, lol

[ashen anchor]

yea unfortunately but bro i thought we were homies man

like bro i just saved ur life

[mystic marsh]

g28

[hasty dagger]

Bastardo doesn´t care, he wants to smack you with that big hammer of his

[orchid crest]

I’m actually having so much fun with Test Drive this is great

[keen night]

ah yes, jaeger quest "Go kill 8 pmcs with F-1"
I sold all my F-1s yesterday

[orchid crest]

Also bless test drive pt 3 making me use the ak 12 I love this gun

[violet totem]

Tagilla ignores scav rep. he also tags you when he aggros you. bad man is bad

[orchid crest]

What?! Me and tagilla chillin on factory got that 6.73 scav rep

He literally follows me around lol

[hasty dagger]

I got both the books from double black, now I can craft ledx and reap-ir, Lul

[warped imp]

I need to kill the Goons, what are some things I need to to know and Prep for?

[keen night]

dont ego peek

[violet totem]

Tagilla I know that's you. You're not tricking me.

[keen night]

dont try to run in the open
Shoot on sight

[hushed flax]

gentlemen, im about to complete chemical part 4, who to turn to?

[warped imp]

Ego peek?

[keen night]

peeking thinking you are invicible
They will not miss your head

[warped imp]

What map would you recommed? I've heard Customs was the best to fight them on, but That could just be all talk

[dark juniper]

Oh so if me and my buddy go do Labyrinth it will just be us 2 no AI PMC.

[violet totem]

birdeye gives 1 one maybe 2 warning shots. Well.. not really warning shots more like playing with his food but still

[keen night]

I prefer fighting them on Custom since I got more covers to work on
Its possible to fight them elsewhere, just harder

[dark juniper]

I went with Therapist and just paid Skier the 1mil and gave Prapor the 10 M67 Grenades.

[keen juniper]

No AI PMCs yeah. Just the enemies

[dark juniper]

Ohh that sounds much easier 🤣

[keen night]

Not even birdeye
If you see red tracer near your head, they are locked on you

[fierce matrix]

you got a video link to the debtor background?

can't seem to find this anywhere

[violet totem]

Birdeye likes tosend 1-2 supressed rounds next to each ear to let you know you're a dead man.

[warped imp]

And they only Spawn at the Fort right?

[finite tide]

How rare are those books I haven’t found one

[keen night]

around fort, but it doesnt mean they'll be there all raid
I fought them at big red cuz other pmcs pissed them off

[hasty dagger]

Those are pretty rare to get, I found 3 books so far, 2 of the same kind

[finite tide]

I haven’t found one in all my years of playing

[hazy gorge]

rare

[hasty dagger]

Well. those spawns for the books are new in 1.0, In prior to 1.0 I never found those books in LH tho, only got them from LK himself

[violet totem]

rarer than rusted bloody key by 10fold

[hasty dagger]

Can´t wait to farm 1m dollars.. jesus

[warped imp]

In your opinion, would 300 blackout work well against them?

[hasty dagger]

It will, even Toz will, lol

[violet totem]

I'd rather use a toz than .300

[hasty dagger]

[keen night]

anything work against them, as long you dont give them the time to fight back

[hasty dagger]

This ngl

16inch barrel is the must

[ashen anchor]

i hit black like 5 times and still not SJ9 waste of money

[warped imp]

Are you taking about the 20ga or the 7.62x39?

[hasty dagger]

SJ9 drops from Cultist, farm them

[violet totem]

dgs in 5round mags for toz > the most meta mcx you can muster every time.

[marble bronze]

Green and res unit area can also have it. I found like 4 of em in green in a single run recently

[distant obsidian]

Yeah, still going to pass on 300. 556 does the same thing on a better platform. But it's always good for other guns to get new parts.

[hasty dagger]

I even killed Laby Tagilla and Killa with Toz, lul

[hasty dagger]

Fuck M4, we bois love MCX or other variant

[violet totem]

Love how no one even thought of suggesting the velocibad

[hasty dagger]

Not meta slaved to the M4 platform only

[keen night]

Sadly, I didnt find the Toz in arena
It would've been funny to dunk on those Model 1 kids with that

[hasty dagger]

That gun is ass, lol

[marble bronze]

Because it's terribad

[distant obsidian]

Uh. K?

[ashen anchor]

damn i shoulda bought green its cheaper

[violet totem]

It was so bugged on release too but the bullets still kinda feel like you're throwing them by hand

[marble bronze]

Green kinda slept on tbh

[hasty dagger]

[keen night]

I enjoy it in arena cuz I can fight longer with it
But only in Fort

[ashen anchor]

ive never killed them and i hate night raids also im scared of the unknown like not knowing if they are there or not is spooky enough at night lol also they are like 2% spawn chance

[marble bronze]

But the iglonik brick makes it all better

[hasty dagger]

Then try like it was suggested, green and res 😄

[violet totem]

Pissing had a better muzzle velocity than the velociraptor did when it came out. 😛

[marsh wing]

im on a generational wealth run in Interchange right now

[hasty dagger]

And Ledxs, lol

[marble bronze]

I will say res unit got whacked pretty hard with the loot nerf. Used to be stacked... RIP

[ashen anchor]

been hitting res every run and not found any stims inside res room unless u mean the new area then yea i found some but not SJ9s

i will add green to the mix

[hasty dagger]

Got 3 from medcases so far, lul 😄

[hasty dagger]

Yes. the new area. Inside res you won´t get stims

[marble bronze]

Between green, black and res, sj9 shouldn't be hard to find

[ashen anchor]

its only two rooms right? I usually get like 3 stims on average

[marble bronze]

Can also be stims in the little office behind the button door

[ashen anchor]

yea the tube tray right?

[marble bronze]

And the floor

[violet totem]

Loot is definitely worse today than it was yesterday. there was 3 items between 2 marked rooms on reserve my last raid. together the sum might have cracked 200k

[hasty dagger]

Marked rooms are waste of money, lol

Just sell that key if you don´t need it for the quest anymore

[violet totem]

I'd almost be temped to go check bedroom marked but..... yeahhhh

[ashen anchor]

RB-VO is not tbh cuz u get 1 black keycard by accident and you pay for the whole thing

but its not crazy money

[marble bronze]

I still use all the marked keys I find. Won't buy em tho 😂

[hasty dagger]

And chance of it to happen is slim to none.. so yea, I rather sell that key 😄

[violet totem]

I already know there's nothing in bedroom without going to look.

[hasty dagger]

I used 314 fully, got like 3m max "profit" back

So yea, no more

[marble bronze]

Bedroom had nothing in it before the loot nerf lol

[hasty dagger]

True, lol

[violet totem]

bedroom marked: unlock light keeper or kill zyrachy and play mine sweeper for the chance to get.. nothing.

[spiral pecan]

gambling!

[violet totem]

How is the objectively hardest marked room to get to the objectively worst marked room?

[scarlet violet]

guys, i just did goals and means, and let me tell you, anything other than reserve is bait, and dome to knight is bait, go to top of dome, inside the bal, use asval with a medium to long scope, i used the best 30mm, with a min of 3, then search all the map for movement, when you think you can kill use the range finder to zero and remember one thing, even if they flee, patience is key

gg

[marble bronze]

Because it's also objectively the free-est one to get to once you get LK.

[marsh wing]

#screenshots message
Interchange loot haul (generational wealth)

[hasty dagger]

Good job, now you can buy the gun which after 2 raids can be sold ! 😄

[marble bronze]

Also the rest of the island has ammo and other loot spawns galore

[scarlet violet]

now im missing the thermal bitch and the lighthouse special

fml xD

[hasty dagger]

[violet totem]

definitely not.. unless you want to camp on the island until 5 minutes are left in the raid and even then that bridge is probably camped

[scarlet violet]

just wanted to show that for people who got shit recomendations like me and just aren't as lucky

[marble bronze]

Brother this is PvE chat, LK island is free as fuck.

[violet totem]

This is pve all the marked rooms are free to get to.

Like if we are just talking free to get to you can hatchet run reserve

[spiral pecan]

atleast ai cant loot half the fucking room because they can't get there

[violet totem]

That's a great point in theory

uh.. the rooms are empty anyways though

[spiral pecan]

[orchid crest]

I’m so serious 😭 Scav bosses do not attack you with 6.0 rep!

In fact they will defend you

[violet totem]

Also? lighthouse? just a bad map at this point.

[orchid crest]

Light house is slightly growing on me, but i still don’t really like it

[spiral pecan]

light house glazers assemble

[marble bronze]

And yet, probably my second favorite after Streets 😂

[violet totem]

Tagilla doesn't care. if you get close to that man he tags you and sends himself and all the other scavs on the map for you.

[orchid crest]

I would LOVE streets if I could run it more than 14fps

[marble bronze]

Tagilla wants your cheeks

[orchid crest]

I’m so serious I’m ready to record it when I get home you can literally kiss him on the lips he won’t care

[marble bronze]

I'd say upgrade your potato but that's gotten stupidly expensive lately

[orchid crest]

It’s in the works, just put 30k down on a house so I need to CHILL

[violet totem]

a 2tb nvme is $250-$300usd right now. sata isn't much better

[marble bronze]

I was running a 8th gen Intel until a couple months ago, shit was fine lol

[violet totem]

I'm glad I got my second nvme before the prie fucking doubled

[orchid crest]

I just need to upgrade cpu and gpu, I’m using a i5-9400 and a 1040 😭 But hey any other map runs at 60 for me

[lethal sinew]

send u dm

[hasty dagger]

1040

[marble bronze]

Truuuuuuue. So glad I got my upgrade done before the AI whack jobs went completely insane

[orchid crest]

Also beside Tarkov I play older games usually so it’s not too big of an issue for me, just streets looks so GOOD and I want to play it more

Got two of those apartment marked keys too just stewing in my stash

[violet totem]

But also I've watched scavs walk through the ground and fall out of the map on lighthouse. multiple times between multiple raids. Starting to think it's intentional.

[orchid crest]

Lmao

[violet totem]

Luckily I have absolutely 0 reason to be on that shitass map so I just don't go.

[orchid crest]

It’s tasks for me, grinding for kappa 😭

[hasty dagger]

Oof, then good luck 😄

[orchid crest]

There’s a good handful of those for LH

[violet totem]

I finished lightkeeper and didn't look back.

[orchid crest]

Think I’ve gotten past most of em

[hasty dagger]

Good thing I don´t need to go to the labs for like 20 times for that stupid RFID reader.. nice

[violet totem]

got kappa, finished light keeper, and maybe hit that map every 70-100 raids just to remind myself what I rid myself of.

I go to lighthouse for the same reason your ex texts you twice a year. To remind myself why I left.

[hasty dagger]

Wtf

[thorn token]

why tf do people input woods into the goon tracker for pve when woods is local if you play solo

also on a side note why is the goon tracker so fucked rn

[spiral pecan]

what do u mean

[violet totem]

Can't really go to snipe rouges anymore, the loot is ass in the wtp and the lighthouse, chalets are mid on a great run and if you don't get sniped in the head by birdeye I guess the merlin trunk is like.. a gold egg or a mule if you're lucky.

[thorn token]

no clear map theyre on rn, people keep inputting different maps

[scarlet pier]

trolls

[spiral pecan]

what he said

people grief the tracker to be an ass

[violet totem]

I'm in my "I have too much lapua ap" era and it's glukhar's problem.

[sage marsh]

its fun to put goons on the wrong map

[orchid crest]

Pro tip go up to the WTP from the bridge all the way on the east side of the map near those villages, when you walk up to the corner of WTP there’s a forklift, some cars and trash cans, jump on that trash can and the rouges can’t see you, you’ll be able to snipe them all from there!

[violet totem]

What rouges? There's maybe 8 per raid max

[orchid crest]

As a Bear player, I know this pain

[violet totem]

I kills them from the mountain with a .50 go "Should have just went to reserve to snipe"

[orchid crest]

There on the guard posts at the front gate, 2 of them usually, then also on the rooftops of the 3 buildings, there’s some MG placements they’re always standing at

[sage marsh]

remember when rogues used to carry 1000 usd

[orchid crest]

Hahaha hell yeah that works too

But that trash can is my go to spot always

[violet totem]

yeah, 8. 3 on building 2, 1-2 in front, maybe 1 running around randomly, and 2 on building 3 usually.

[spiral pecan]

do they not anymore

[sage marsh]

ive not seen them with it in months

[violet totem]

best place to hit wtp is from the north east from the montains imo. you have to clear 1 50caland then it's a straight shot to buildings 2 and 3

[spiral pecan]

im pretty sure one had it in their backpack like 1 month ago

[orchid crest]

Very rarely if so, I haven’t seen and I’ve killed a few hundred rogues

[sage marsh]

i hit wtp from the fenceline and just clear it to building 3 and go from there

thermals make quick sweeping for rogues easy

[gaunt rune]

guys educate me, I see streamer/youtubers complain about how they should've kept the game as it was gameplay wise in 2021 and just focused on content... since I started playing mid last year I can't judge, so, true or nah?

[violet totem]

They should just stop gutting loot when it feels halfway okay

Oh what's that? It feels worth it 50% of the time to loot key rooms? better make it 10% of the time.

[fierce matrix]

any chance you could circle this spot on the lighthouse map?

[sage marsh]

they essentially removed marked rooms as a loot option

[violet totem]

yesterday it was okay and today I opened 2 on reserve and just noted not to bother doing that again

[alpine vigil]

how to get tremor effect? what drug or what do i need to do

[sage marsh]

get hurt

[vernal spindle]

Is kaban a 100% spawn?

[violet totem]

first one was pkpm and there was a single 7.62 mdr in it so I checked bk for confirmation. It had a spear and a tt

[sage marsh]

no

[alpine vigil]

fracture?

[violet totem]

go use the gym until you break your arm

it's hands down the easiest

[fierce matrix]

protip break your left arm

it only results in slowing looting

right arm results in slower reloading and aim down sight

[alpine vigil]

lemme suicide nade does that work

[violet totem]

just go fail qtes inthe gym until your arm breaks

[alpine vigil]

i dont have gym unlocked yet

[violet totem]

use someone elses

[sage marsh]

go use one of your friends

[vernal spindle]

Is there a difference how far the ai can see at night vs day?

[violet totem]

According to bsg? yes

[vernal spindle]

So i wont get beamed by the ags in lexos at night?

[violet totem]

I didn't say that

[vernal spindle]

I beeb trying to do my quests in lexos but 40/40 raids kaban is there and i most likely get fucked

[violet totem]

learn to clear the dealership. Go from aspect side not tarbank side for one

[vernal spindle]

From the alley way, i get ags'd, from the streets i get sniped

[violet totem]

don't approach the dealership from the convoy or from concord apartments. use a grenade to move the guard off the dshk

[vernal spindle]

Ill try again

[spiral pecan]

cultists are pmo so im about to do some axmc gaming

im going to fucking obliterate their dicks with 338

[mild wraith]

i've used black keycard in labs twice now (kruglov's ofice and safe) and not found a single keycard is this room shit or am i just unlucky?

[compact folio]

unlucky tbh

but at least many btc i hope

[mild wraith]

a single one

[compact folio]

saw one guy on yt mrschump or something like that, he opened black keycard and got like very good loot and got very good profit

[crystal umbra]

I only found another black card on the table of the office once... in like 50 visits to lab

so yeah, just bad rng

[mild wraith]

fml

[crystal umbra]

at least the safe is a pretty steady supply of bitcoins and intel

[mild wraith]

trying to farm the 500 million roubles and figured labs would be the way

[crystal umbra]

and the cardinal key which used to sell for quite a bit too, not sure if it still does

[mild wraith]

1k euros atm

[violet totem]

#screenshots message

[mild wraith]

with black card (as of the time i bought it) being roughly 1 million a use

[violet totem]

I badly annotated a map for you

[loud raptor]

[violet totem]

Holy cooked my brain is fried though. pal said they need 500m and I got curious how many roubles I have (I lock my roubles, because It's funny idk) so I counted my money cases.... My money cases are tagged with numbers. I counted them and then looked at the tags and just fucking sighed.

Only 15 full cases tho need to get those numbers up

[loud raptor]

With 15 cases you already have over 700m

[violet totem]

I have 758m. I need to pump those numbers up those are rookie numbers

[loud raptor]

Unless you already gave the 500m

[violet totem]

I'm not doing the story.

[loud raptor]

oh okok

[keen juniper]

Where are people finding AESA's this wipe? I need 5 more still and having no luck on reserve

[violet totem]

So I'm basically poor

[loud raptor]

Yes it’s not over a bil yet

[violet totem]

Aesas live in yellow and violet sometimes green

[keen night]

Found mine in RB-AK

[spiral pecan]

you can buy them off the flea

i dont believe they need to be FIR

[loud raptor]

I got my aesa from reserve

[violet totem]

the new bunker room can spawn them too right?

[mild wraith]

speaking of story any idea what happens after you get an ending in pve? is it different from live

[loud raptor]

idk tbh I hate pkpts, it’s overrated imo

[violet totem]

It likes to spawn virtex and that's about all it's good for

[loud raptor]

Took 6 raids to get 1 cofdm

[keen juniper]

PKPTS did fine for me for COFDM's but nothing else

[lavish socket]

Why are flash drives so cheap? Weren’t they more expensive back in the day?

[modern lichen]

Cultist circle gave me 2 , 5mp5 recipe

[violet totem]

because special equipment is level 60

flashdrives are for 1 thing and 1 thing only. The thicc items barter

They are basically free too. You can easily get the 30 it needs organically and that barter is behind a level 60 task

Also yes I know about the crafts that use them. I'm flaming the crafts.

[keen night]

Its often cheaper to buy the item off the flea instead of crafting them
unless you need it fir

[violet totem]

Not the crafts to make them. The crafts that use them

[keen night]

even for the craft that use them
But maybe now some crafts are worth investing in, its been a while since I checked

[loud raptor]

It’s always the same items tbh, look at toothpaste and I am pretty sure it is up too

[golden tusk]

local or bsg servers for goons? i swear 12 months ago i couldn't play a raid without running into them now its impossible

[loud raptor]

Lucky

[violet totem]

there is 1 craft that uses flash drives that's at all useful and it's the zombies event craft. For the crafting skill. to alternated with crafting labs access cards.

[loud raptor]

The goons are as rare as partizan for me atm

[keen night]

doesnt matter if you are local or server
Its the same spawn rate

[violet totem]

Other than that craft? the mfd is maybe half worth? I still wouldn't bother.

[keen night]

zombie craft ?

[loud raptor]

The encrypted flashdrives are not in the crafts after 1.0 I think

Unless you didn’t wipe but I could be wrong

[golden tusk]

partizan i've been seeing a lot on local at dorms, not sure if that matters but

[golden tusk]

bugger

[violet totem]

Flashdrive with special software

I didn't wipe because literally why would I?

[loud raptor]

Oh the fake mfd

I think it’s not in too if you wiped

[hazy gorge]

cuz story

[violet totem]

No the flash drive from the zombies event lol

[hazy gorge]

story is fun

[violet totem]

Why would I wipe for an interactive youtube video?

[hazy gorge]

why would you not?

[loud raptor]

Well he said he didn’t want to do story but if you didn’t wipe then 700m is nothing tbh

[hazy gorge]

700m is nothing true

[violet totem]

Yeah it's literally nothing

[hazy gorge]

if you havent wiped

[keen night]

I dont think you get the events if you didnt wipe

at least not fully

[loud raptor]

The event crafts we lose them

[violet totem]

My stash is only 1.3b

[keen night]

only

[violet totem]

1.3b on pve is like 90m on pvp latewipe during economy events

[cursive sky]

I barely loot and the value just keeps rising

[violet totem]

We are also talking 1900h online so yeah, only

I spend too much time being silly to get my roubles up okay? 💔

I just want quality time with my lapua on reserve to burn through 1000 rounds of ap ...wheich I hope I'm being hyperbolic about but ..

[loud raptor]

Tbh it took me 1 week to unlock the mjolnir again

[violet totem]

Ha! I only have 950 rounds of .338 ap!

trg m10 my beloved

[keen night]

I dont have that much .338 AP, I dont even use them
FMJ does the job well

[marsh wing]

RSASS, MK-16, or MCX?

[violet totem]

You can do the job well or you can do overkill well. I show up for overkill.

mk-16

[loud raptor]

Tbh it’s not a lot, I played 300 raids in total and I have over 3k lapua ap

The thing you get the most tho is like ssa ap cus it’s so common

[keen night]

damn, I got less than 300 rounds in way more raids
lemme boot up the game for the exact number

[loud raptor]

300 blackout is goated

[violet totem]

I've been using 30-40 rounds of it a raid for the last 10-12 raids because my .338 box got full from labs

[lunar sequoia]

I ran labs and went to green and got 1 stim …. Wtfff

[loud raptor]

Yeah labs is good on ammos

[twin plover]

Yo what is some good items to trader flip on the market

[violet totem]

wtl, red, res, green

[loud raptor]

30mm scope mounts and money cases tbh

[violet totem]

I honestly play labs as much to rouble as I do to go shopping

[keen night]

Im currently at 879 raids

[loud raptor]

Money cases is like 300k and you sell it 1.2mil

[violet totem]

Buy stims? funny way to spell hit green and res

[hushed flax]

probably went 10 streets raids in a row now without 1 courtyard gate flare

[violet totem]

I hit the whole med side of labs now with the new splint being added blue is finally worth going into. for the med bags...

[hushed flax]

only need 3 more extracts for stupid weekly..

[lavish socket]

Where can you get good MCX ammo?

[violet totem]

labs

wtl, res, red

[willow tinsel]

Fuck labs, labrys is goated for stims and 2x more worth of loot

[violet totem]

Yeah but you don't have to go to snoreline to go to labs

[marsh wing]

some people are intimated by labrys

[willow tinsel]

Yea, 5 min walk

[marsh wing]

also im taking the MK16 and RSASS

[hazy gorge]

alright nice 33 kills on last hero

[keen night]

not if you get ambushed by bosses

[violet totem]

5minute walk is 3 rooms on labs

[willow tinsel]

Wdym ambushed by bosses

Just dont go through their spawn

[keen night]

When you spawn construction and goons decided to be offended

[orchid crest]

Yeah I’ll dm it to you hol up

[willow tinsel]

It's just sanitar and goons

[violet totem]

by the time you get to labrys I've got half of labs looted

[marble bronze]

Buy CBJ from PK4

[willow tinsel]

Still worth less than what you would get from labs thats 1 thing for sure

[spiral pecan]

all of these have completely different uses bro

[marsh wing]

i was in KIBA

[compact folio]

guys, how many lab raids u need to do to memorize the map, havent played it and it seems like maze tbh

[spiral pecan]

OH

rsass is probably worth the most

[violet totem]

pfft What I get is more than plenty I'm there to shop and burn keycards

[willow tinsel]

Brother you cannot outsell 3 - 5 pfilters, gpu, bitcoins, stims

[reef furnace]

Have yall noticed tagilla's hammer always aims for your head

[willow tinsel]

From 1 labs run

[violet totem]

I still have ~200 raids of keycards

[reef furnace]

Like, the hitbox ignores every part of your body except your head

[marsh wing]

i found the pricey kiba key so i bought a cheap one and went in for the first time. I mangaed to fit the mk16 and rsass along with some other stuff

[reef furnace]

It's annoying

[reef furnace]

Kiba used to be good

But nikita decided to nerf the store

[marsh wing]

i mean, i just got 2 class 6 plates to put in my CPC, a class 5 backplate and 2 good guns

[violet totem]

I promise you I'm not doing anything less than realizing profit. I didn't buy a single damn colored keycard and haven'y in like 6 months

[violet totem]

I'm just turning ram sticks into class 6 plates man, fuck kiba at this point.

[willow tinsel]

I mean you do you, if youre happy with those keycard rooms thats great

[marsh wing]

well this was the first time i ever ran kiba lol

[lavish socket]

Damn, so much grinding… ugh I barely got him to three

[violet totem]

Be happier if they would stop beating violet with a club only complaint

[marsh wing]

#screenshots message
This is everything i pulled from my very first KIBA :)

[violet totem]

I see 4 ram sticks and some garbage

Sorry 💔 ..that was toxic

[marsh wing]

im gonna go cry now

[hazy gorge]

damn

thats shit

[marsh wing]

i found the 4mil key thinking it was the cheap one, got back to stash and got super excited

[violet totem]

Actually? You know?

I'm not sorry. Most of that should have stayed on the floor

[marsh wing]

i mean, what should i be looking for? im still kinda new to the game

[hazy gorge]

money

[violet totem]

the handguard, the backplate, the nightforce mount, the scar, the ls321, the uzi stock, and the mag. Floor

the rsass is worth if you needed it for gunsmith

wait actually can't you just buy an rsass now?

[fleet loom]

hows everyone doin on this fine mornin

[fleet loom]

mhm

[willow tinsel]

Hideout items is selling for a shitton

[marsh wing]

handguard i wasnt sure, backplate im realizing is useless to me, nightforce mount i just threw on the rsass, it was either the scar or an MCX, the laser i threw on a gun, the uzi stock i grabbed because i have an uzi and wanna play with it, and the mag i picked up because i needed the ammo inside it lol

[keen night]

arent the pharmacy and ultra meds now spawn quite regulary ledx and defibs ?

[willow tinsel]

And if youre smart you grind it now rather than grind and sell it later

[marsh wing]

i found a LEDX in the camp behind interchange earlier today, found 2 defibs next to each other a few raids ago

[violet totem]

I'm sorry if this comes off as elitists but most hangguards? floor. Most tac devices? floor. Any not a very high capacity 1x2 mag? floor. literally any scope mount? floor.

[willow tinsel]

Pfilters used to sell for 2.5m, its down to 1.6

[marsh wing]

see, this is the info i've been wanting. But i also knew i was extracting after KIBA, so i was kinda filling my pockets

aka, most of it came with me so i could just sell it

[fleet loom]

why we takin sight mounts outta raid

[orchid crest]

Pick up all the garbage you see you’ll need it to craft your hideout

[violet totem]

If I want pfilters that bad I'll run woods for 2-3 a raid and restock on 7n40 as well as other russian bullets

[fleet loom]

i have too many pfilters

[marsh wing]

oh i already know this, i have 3 junk boxes full in my stash rn

[marsh wing]

i threw it on the RSASS so it's just free money

[orchid crest]

As you should king

[violet totem]

where you are picking up bolts and nuts is gonna be better for you than picking up most attachments

[keen night]

I've picked every bolts and nuts since the wipe
I got around 500 each now

[fleet loom]

ive been leaving most things tbh

[willow tinsel]

Sell it ????

[orchid crest]

The flea market fears him

[fleet loom]

im lazy, if it aint over like 40k it aint goin in my pocket

[orchid crest]

I smell ex RuneScape player

[violet totem]

mparts and skyrim lamps are almost always worth picking up

[fleet loom]

skyrim lamps

[orchid crest]

Skyrim lamp 😭

[marsh wing]

#screenshots message
This is majority of my barter items

[keen night]

no, just got that trauma of never finding either bolt or nut when I needed them

[fleet loom]

theyre so common tho

[violet totem]

Yeah, ES, Skyrim.

Try and ever unsee it

[fleet loom]

i pick up all mparts paper and powerbanks tho

those are peak

i have like half a junkbox of mparts

im still wondering what a skyrim lamp is

[violet totem]

I remember the time I made pompon hats 200k for like 3 days.

[keen night]

lmao

[violet totem]

they were 80k for weeks

[hazy gorge]

lost all my augs in pvp and insurance aint coming back

[orchid crest]

Think they meant the LED light bulbs

[undone coral]

Why paper?

[hazy gorge]

some scav mf took my shit

[orchid crest]

Or the uv ones

[keen night]

paper is used to craft intel

[violet totem]

And then the winter event happened and I was cackling

[undone coral]

Oh

[orchid crest]

They be taking your shit right from your hands it makes you want to execute them

[fleet loom]

intel and its like 80-120k on the flea depending on the day

[hazy gorge]

i cannot even buy more augs

[violet totem]

wdym? intel is free

[fleet loom]

decently easy to find and over 40k per slot as per my preference

[mystic marsh]

Aug is a decent gun

but like, I hate proprietary mags

[marsh wing]

anyone wanna help me out? What keys should i be keeping in my theta? I have a docs case and two key tools

[mystic marsh]

Docs case is good

Just keep keys there and make sure you bring keys according to the map

otherwise put them out

[quartz thicket]

Since when does 1 mine explosion kill you god damnit

[edgy notch]

use multiple docs cases, where you rotate them and put tags on denoting which map / area - then swap in / out as needed

[lofty perch]

thought it would take 2 or 3 to kill us?

[hazy gorge]

i hate it

i just need it for the damn task

[quartz thicket]

Yeah it usually does. I just got instanuked tho

[lofty perch]

damn that's weird....

[distant obsidian]

Some instant kill, some do not

[quartz thicket]

I've never been insta'd by a mine before

[warped imp]

This might be kinda a Dumb question, and to my knowledge I haven't seen anyone talk about it, Is there a map that Gives More PMCs then SCAVs?

[keen night]

no

[quartz thicket]

Labs technically

[fluid rose]

Does flashbangs work against bosses???

[quartz thicket]

theres no scavs in labs, just raiders

[violet totem]

my favorite bug is that 6.0 fence rep works on pmcs

[keen night]

prob depend on the boss

[warped imp]

I know that one, BUT, I need to shoot 40+ meters on them with a Night Scope

[vernal spindle]

I give up on trying to do my lexos quests, just got double wall banged by kaban while in tarbank

[quartz thicket]

Med camp on woods would be where I would go

[fluid rose]

Oh gosh!

[warped imp]

Ok, thank you kindly

[distant obsidian]

The ones on streets do

And gz

Those might be claymores. It's been awhile. Gz one is a claymore

[distant obsidian]

Literally any map. Just take a gun with the right set up as a back up, and when you see a fight start blasting over 40m

[quartz thicket]

Yeah claymores I've been 1'd by. Never an invisible mine

[mystic marsh]

A2 is decent

[spiral pecan]

did yall use the carry handle bug for connections up north or what

[fleet loom]

damn this raider was usin ap sx

[keen night]

Some bots are out for blood
once killed a pmc loaded with 3 60rounders full of ppbs

[violet totem]

It's bears with as vals you have to look out for

Even if they just have sp5

[blissful granite]

Fence's ticket task is kinda BS. "DoNt KiLl ScAvS" is always a crap requirement for a task

[spiral pecan]

the kill 5 pmcs on interchange/shoreline in one raid thing?

[violet totem]

They will limb you to death in a second with sp5 but they can hve sp6 or bp too

[spiral pecan]

just so yk you can transit back and forth and it won't reset

[blissful granite]

That's the one, kinda starting to hate kerman after getting baited and switched three times in a god damn row

[hazy gorge]

got a nice weekly

[thorn token]

Kerman is an asshole

[golden tusk]

i keep getting the failure alert for killing scavs on customs for the task 'bullshit' and i could care less about it but how crazy for that to be a thing

[hazy gorge]

114 last hero scout kills

[hazy gorge]

a furry*

[fleet loom]

damn some more raiders just suddenly spawned at train station and clapped me

silence and then a fuckin stampede

[violet totem]

m10 > axmc

[golden tusk]

off topic but i have never killed tagilla as fast as i just did using RIP ammo and going for legs, i now understand the leg meta

[warped imp]

Reminds me of last night when I was on Factory, Couldn't find anyone, Threw one F-1 and all hell broke loss, Including Fucking Hammer Man out of the pit

[gaunt flume]

yall ever think we'll get an update to AI pmcs loadouts

[violet totem]

Try using a gl wit mp-aperps rounds on tagilla

Aim for the head

he simply folds

[gaunt flume]

finding random test drive weapons and more 'meta' builds on pmcs would be fun

it also annoys me that they always have the same shit in their rigs and pockets

[violet totem]

Not finding pmcs with no body armor to speak of but level 60 dogtags would be neat

[gaunt flume]

imagine if they added ai hatchlings

thatd be funny

[violet totem]

like come on scale the loot to their tags and scale their tags to the maps a little or something jeeeeze

[gaunt flume]

deadass

[quartz thicket]

just wait until you get the saiga 12g

[gaunt flume]

last night before i died i mowed down like a squad of 6 pmcs in labs and they were all under level 10 with t5 armor and 40+ pen ammo

[golden tusk]

i think i have that

[violet totem]

Also add more 20g shotguns but no semi-auto ones

[golden tusk]

but i shot him a few times in the leg with rip ammo and that mf went running and i was not used to that lmao

[loud raptor]

[gaunt flume]

i just wish pve would get more ai love </3

[still nest]

RIP is the real meta fr

[loud raptor]

Yeah the ai are dumb

[still nest]

MP9N, 45 vector, Saiga just slump anything

[gaunt flume]

they even removed ai scavs leaning at player scavs

[golden tusk]

the recoil on the shotguns is just so insane i need to get a better build maybe

idk but the recoil is skitzo

[violet totem]

before 1.0 dropped pve pretty blatantly had SAIN installed and after 1.0 dropped they removed it and quietly have been working on it since making tweaks

[loud raptor]

Tbh even guards feel like regulas scavs with how many times they miss you

[gaunt flume]

GOD i miss forbidden tarkov

ai pmcs doing tasks, having task items, actually physically looting

[golden tusk]

i swear i get blacked out limbs more from scavs hitting you with 1 bullet than i do pmcs

[gaunt flume]

sigh

[violet totem]

Not that I would even play forbidden tarkov but it very obviously had the exact same ai bugs from sain. 😐 I'm good boy

[fleet loom]

as someone who played a lot of sain and normal pve this is so unbelievably cap

[hasty dagger]

Update before 1.0 felt like sain Ai, lol. In 1.0 They feel somewhat scary to go against

[loud raptor]

What’s sain?

[violet totem]

nothng. :' )

[hasty dagger]

Mod for forbiden word Tarkov

[loud raptor]

Oh

People still play that game?

[gaunt flume]

it is still 200% better than official pve so...

[violet totem]

Oh true true they just managed to exactly replicate sain bugs that's definitely more likely...

[loud raptor]

Only mods I play is on terraria

[gaunt flume]

only reason im not is because i cant play with friends on it

like its disappointing the quality comparison there is to be made

[violet totem]

cough, bunker raiders pushing out of the bunker every raid cough

[hasty dagger]

Calamity ?

[loud raptor]

Bunker raiders can be all the way to the transit

[loud raptor]

Best mod fr

[gaunt flume]

calamathorium...

[golden tusk]

except when they're all jorkin themselves off around the corner in the poop water

[hasty dagger]

Only played Calamity like for real, got like 600 hours into it, before Tmodloader was a thing, lol

[lucid torrent]

Has anyone seen the bobble heads spawn in labyrinth post 1.0 patch?

[loud raptor]

I believe one is called thorium too, it’s a pack with many mods

[gaunt flume]

ive heard that the unique ones to labrys are incredibly rare

[gaunt flume]

thats what i just said

calamity + thorium

[loud raptor]

oh

[gaunt flume]

its a version that combines both of them

[loud raptor]

[gaunt flume]

the superior option..

[hasty dagger]

Calamity and Thorium + Fargot

[lucid torrent]

I’m aware of that, but in my 5man groups I’ve gathered them all before but now in 1.0 I’ve yet to even see a single spawn

[violet totem]

Yeah but when 1.0 came out the ai got reverted waaaaaaay back to the days when they would fires lasers at you from 300m

[loud raptor]

What a funny name

[gaunt flume]

few letters off from banishment

[loud raptor]

Letter swap

[hasty dagger]

True

[gaunt flume]

im a bard stan

i love calamathorium bard

[hasty dagger]

[violet totem]

Summoner for life

[loud raptor]

I always play summoner

[gaunt flume]

bard wipes summoner

[loud raptor]

I’d have to give bard a try

[orchid crest]

Hey the only reason I got real pve was because my friend got it, if it wasn’t for that I’d still be on it; charging people $30 psh

[gaunt flume]

i love summoner but my hatred grows for it due to its annoying progression in vanilla terraria

[violet totem]

Born to have no personality, forced to be surrounded by waifus

[hasty dagger]

Pfff.. rouge is the way

[gaunt flume]

you make a stable argument..

[hasty dagger]

Waifus, HELL YEA

[violet totem]

They have somewhat filled the holes in for summoer in 1.4.5

[hasty dagger]

Wish I got my 50+ Tagilla/Killa waifus posters in my 1.0 :c

[spiral pecan]

holy shit i love getting fucking shot through a barrel into my head from 50m out

[gaunt flume]

femme killa...

[spiral pecan]

these cultists are so god damn fucking ANNOYING

[gaunt flume]

[hasty dagger]

Didn´t play 1.4.5 yet, need to check it out

[gaunt flume]

is that the bigger and boulder one

[violet totem]

ye

[hasty dagger]

I got shot behind a fucking wall, I feel ya

[hasty dagger]

Should be

[gaunt flume]

im doing my warframe dailies but maybe ill try it afterwards

WAIT DID THEY FINALLY ADD THE PALWORLD STUFF

[orchid crest]

Something I wish for PVE is to make PMC gear more diverse, these MFers only wear 2 diff armors for the most part and always got the same gun, nothing in their kits beside a heal and a splint, pistol mags, and two grenades

[violet totem]

There is a whip pre-furry now

they added palworld stuff ye

[hasty dagger]

Furry ?

[violet totem]

and it's summoer. >:)

[violet totem]

zoologist

[gaunt flume]

was just talkin about it earlier. I think they should make it possible for test drive weapons to spawn on them as well as kits generally considered "meta"

[gaunt flume]

the BEST npc

[hazy gorge]

yeah

[violet totem]

Furry baddies can get it

[hazy gorge]

they should buff pmcs

[orchid crest]

I agree, I want to get absolutely shredded, I wanna earn those better guns with kills

[hasty dagger]

Eio

:c

[gaunt flume]

i also love when i kill a squad of level 5 pmcs and they all have 40+ pen ammo and t5 armor

[orchid crest]

That one person who replied to be just got obliterated

[vernal mango]

i have read that you arent save from the bosses in some labyrinth spawns? i mean that they can push in. is that true?

[hazy gorge]

i would want for pmcs to have actually good ammo, guns, armor

[gaunt flume]

makes much sense

[hasty dagger]

I am gonna get punished

[hazy gorge]

i want to see more decent kits

[marsh wing]

WAIT I MISSED THE TERRARIA TALK CRAP

i have 4.5k hours

[hazy gorge]

ye

[orchid crest]

I swear the ammo changes when I go to pick up their gear, I feel like it downgrades the rounds

[vernal mango]

which ones?

[violet totem]

Guys I'm a summoner exclusively and I fucking love fishing

[keen night]

wait, didnt someone just got nuked ?

[hasty dagger]

Yes, the worst one to spawn in is the boiler room (steam)

[gaunt flume]

afk playstyle

[orchid crest]

Nah just their message

[hazy gorge]

both

they can just push your ass

[hasty dagger]

Hope you got that 250 achievement or how much is it, lol

[violet totem]

real

[violet totem]

I do

Light work no reaction

[gaunt flume]

i love fishing but i hate fishing yk

[marsh wing]

i had all of them before update

[hasty dagger]

Good

[vernal mango]

both of which?

[hasty dagger]

[gaunt flume]

headpats for FREE?

[vernal mango]

do you have a good strat for that one?

[hasty dagger]

Just don´t die, lol 😄 I died in that spawn a lot of time..

[hasty dagger]

Yes

[hazy gorge]

meant to say all

mb

[gaunt flume]

do i get any

[violet totem]

I started a master mode world and haven't even fought a boss yet but by fuck do I have reaver and sawtooth

[hasty dagger]

Yes

[gaunt flume]

YIPPEE

[vernal mango]

is there a way to retreat in that spawn, or will they push all the way?

[gaunt flume]

@violet totem i refuse to play modded with out this random chinese auto fisher mod

[golden tusk]

which method do u guys think is better: keep doing the same map (lighthouse, shoreline or customs) over and over until you run into goons, or option 2: go to each map and repeat until you find em

[faint sparrow]

anyone know where to find the most ppbs on streets?

[violet totem]

You want me to chop trees without a chainsaw? Heh, just call me a slur next time.

[hasty dagger]

They will push all the way in to be honest. Just have good ammo and try to kill Tagilla first and then Killa

[violet totem]

woods

[faint sparrow]

where on woods to be exact?

[hasty dagger]

You can´t realy "cheese" that spot that good, you can go on the second floor.. but they can shot you behind a metal floor, so you can´t realy kill that like that @vernal mango

[violet totem]

train depot

[faint sparrow]

alr thanks

[violet totem]

Have to take the btr there

[hasty dagger]

Slur word

[gaunt flume]

woah there

[violet totem]

it's covered in russian bullet spawns and just general high value junk

[hasty dagger]

[gaunt flume]

so vulgar..

[faint sparrow]

and you can get out normally or do you need the btr too

[hasty dagger]

I am sowwy

[gaunt flume]

tsk tsk

[violet totem]

you can get out normally or get the mines map and extract there

[hasty dagger]

[faint sparrow]

alright thanks

[gaunt flume]

you are forgiven

[violet totem]

you just jump off the train and either go to un roadblock or factory gate

[hasty dagger]

You can cheese btr by calling it to the sawmill, that way you can wait for it to back to ya and take your leave with that

[hasty dagger]

[vernal mango]

ok thanks. do you know when they start to aggro/spawn? when i spawn or later(when finishing the puzzle/sound...)

[faint sparrow]

i heard about that strat too, thanks guys,

[gaunt flume]

[marble bronze]

Go to the map they're on and farm until it changes?

[hasty dagger]

If they see you (guards) or the boss itself, they will start to hunt you. So after that, just run straight for the room and wait for them, sometimes they can lose aggro tho

[golden tusk]

i mean if i knew what map they were on i'd be there

[hasty dagger]

[gaunt flume]

the meowler

[golden tusk]

but they lieeee, someone was just in here before even sayin they just go in there and false report them

[hasty dagger]

No problemo

[hasty dagger]

They can be there, but they have % for the spawn, it´s not 100% for the spawn chance..

[marble bronze]

If it's credible, there will be multiple sightings listed

[hasty dagger]

You have to be patient, that´s all to it

[hazy gorge]

fence doesnt want to sell me a aug

[violet totem]

Wait, you can call for the btr?

[faint sparrow]

theyre on customs rn

[golden tusk]

happy to be patient if you guys say it can be reliable

[fleet loom]

finally got elite metabolism 🙂

i am buddah

[hasty dagger]

You can´t realy call for it, you can just make it to go to the previous spot and wait for it to get back to ya

[hasty dagger]

[cursive sky]

Frickin cultists where art thou

[violet totem]

Ah yeah I usually track it by raid time

[marble bronze]

Same place they always are...

[cursive sky]

So not in my raids, gotcha

[frigid flint]

hang out for a bit in customs, they can spawn in late
i usually run 314 and resahalas room after clearing out stronghold to give them more time to spawn in
clearing the boss out of stronghold also ups the chances of them spawning in, as cultists cant spawn in if a boss is sitting in their spawn

[hazy gorge]

time to try to get out of woods alive

[vernal spindle]

After 5 deaths to kaban, its time for bed

[cursive sky]

What are you doing wrong

[marsh wing]

Try killing him first next time

[cursive sky]

Not criticism. I like to analyse my own gameplay after deaths

[vernal spindle]

So ive never killed him, i have 4 quests in lexos that im trying to do. I watched a tutorial where you throw grenades over to get his buddies off the dshk/ags. I get to that part and then 4/5 of my deaths were wallbangs from kaban and 1 was getting head eyes from one of his snipers

[gaunt flume]

bed solves all issues

[vernal spindle]

Indeed

[burnt panther]

I think they're a spot from outside his camp where you can just straight up shoot kaban and he wont shoot at you

[tiny tangle]

can't end on a loss

[cursive sky]

CAN'T END WON'T END

[vernal spindle]

Im down 6 mil in gear so ill wait for insurance before i try again lol

[tiny tangle]

oof

[cursive sky]

Oh you on pvp?

[vernal spindle]

Hell no

[edgy notch]

nighttime + thermal = easy kaban

[tiny tangle]

do the traders not notify you about insurance returns on pve?

[cursive sky]

Just full send, you'll get it back anyways

[violet plaza]

its bugged for me as well but they do return stuff

[vernal spindle]

Worst part is, i had 2 electric drills on me on my last death

[burnt panther]

Damn fuck kaban at that point im getting out with those drills

lmfaoo

[frigid flint]

i usually push from tarbank side, then i dont have to worry about the ags. if you hang out on the street, kaban will just wallbang you through the wood panels in the showroom, so hiding behind the tigr on the street is a bad idea since youll get pinned by kaban/pushed by his guards. take the gate and dont let them take space from you/get back on the mg. you can also clear snipers from sparya before pushing. kaban is super easy once you figure it out.

[tiny tangle]

i missed out on like 3 of mine without realizing it

[gaunt rune]

my latest deaths were on labyrinth, the message about insurance return is kinda funny

[hazy gorge]

got my cheeks clapped again

[vernal spindle]

Ill get it eventually, i only got the game like 1 month ago, reshala and tagilla ive already mastered so kaban next

[frigid flint]

if you get a closed section key from kaban, hang onto it, youll need it for a quest down the road

gl

[golden tusk]

skye and @marble bronze - spend legit 2 days following the goon tracker website, loading raid after raid with no luck on goons, come in here and ask for advice and you both say use goon tracker, so i keep doing what i'm doing, first raid i load into they're there lmao

[marble bronze]

And you wiped em?

[hazy gorge]

peak pvp tarkov gameplay

[cursive sky]

This is the way

[hazy gorge]

sitting in bush on woods for 30 minutes

[golden tusk]

course i wasn't gonna let those mfs get away, thank god big pipe or whoever the last one is pushed and didn't run away, was my last task for kappa!

[marble bronze]

Good shit bud. Congrats on kappa!

[golden tusk]

thank you!! first time pogging

[cursive sky]

I'm locked behind loot plushie and glorious mask, haven't found once since I got the kappa quest

[lofty perch]

damn, do i need to beg the goons to show up or something? been tracking them day and night to no avail.

[frigid flint]

glorious mask can spawn in weapons crates. the clothing items suck to find, so good luck on that.

[glacial osprey]

why they killed u man?

muted

[cursive sky]

I've looted tonnes of them, thought I had one saved but sold them all apparently. And now when I'm at the cusp of winning they got wiped off of the face of the earth

[frigid flint]

yeah, i was in a similar boat- i thought i had the johnb glasses, but it turned out i sold my FIR ones. was MISERABLE to find another pair lmao

[cursive sky]

I just play now, doing the storyline, if I get it I get it

[burnt panther]

Ive never gotten kappa but can you have everything FIR ahead of time before you get the quest?

[cursive sky]

Yes

[loud raptor]

I did kappa before the story personally

[burnt panther]

Then I think im set for kappa when i get the quest

Not sure though cause my stramer item case has 3 empty cells

[crystal umbra]

3 PMC kills away (on Woods) from finishing Escort. But can't find them anywhere

I popped into the sawmill where I heard gunshots and found dead Shturman and one of his guards, but no PMC lol

[loud raptor]

Not even at the medical camp?

[crystal umbra]

some chad AI PMC wiped the boss out and then just left? 😄

[loud raptor]

Even scav checkpoint

[crystal umbra]

ya, nothing there either

I kept legging it to every single gunfire

[loud raptor]

[crystal umbra]

bad rng

I guess

I just dont wanna die to some stupid way, since I am like just 3 kills away from turning this godforsaken quest in

[loud raptor]

Imagine they are just all inside the marked bunker

[crystal umbra]

because then I have to do it all over again, on all those maps

[loud raptor]

Escort only gives a helmet barter iirc

[crystal umbra]

I know, I am actually trying to get to the Rys barter 😄

[loud raptor]

oh lmao

[crystal umbra]

on PvE its kinda whatever, so I dont need to metaslave with the best headphones too much. Just put on a Rys + proflex for labs/labyrinth and I am golden

[loud raptor]

I don’t wear helmets but I use the proflex now

[crystal umbra]

dang, no helmet at all?

[loud raptor]

No I play for how dripped my character looks

[crystal umbra]

respect for sticking to the drip

I am just used to helmets too mcuh after getting popped in the head by a scav with shotgun during my very first raid (I only had a USEC cap)

[burnt panther]

Highkey I could be wearing an altyn and die from a neck shot

[crystal umbra]

still traumatized by that

[nova plank]

Isnt That important in PvE

[loud raptor]

Even with a beanie on I don’t get shot in the head, it’s like if they only want my left arm specificly

[nova plank]

I like to just mess around and play like John wick style just use a glock or five seven

AI Are just too dumb

And easily cheesed

[crystal umbra]

it depends really. AI seems to mostly aim for your limbs, but ofc there are moments where it suddenly decides to beam you in the head.

it happens more often with bosses/guards but yeah

[loud raptor]

I feel like they only beam your head when you have a 70 survival streak

[nova plank]

Yeah it does happen where a scav becomes birdeye aim but I had moment where I ran out of ammo and just rush past pmc to get to my wanted extraction lol

[loud raptor]

The other day a scav shot me and his gun was sideways cus of a wall

[nova plank]

Pop a Morphin so you can keep running if they hit your leg and it kinda always works

[tiny tangle]

time for me to grind for another couple hours trying to get this room 206 key lmao

[cursive sky]

Don't be a pill popper like me and not have 10+ stress resistance at almost level 50

[tiny tangle]

i don't pop the pills lol

wait how do u even lvl up stress resistance?

[cursive sky]

You take damage while not under the effect of pain killers

[tiny tangle]

oh

thats not bad at all then

[cursive sky]

You need level 10 for the storyline

So I'm cooked

[tiny tangle]

rip

i mean lowkey jsut run factory

with some bad gear or smth

[meager coyote]

Time to roll around in razor wire like a pig in a mud bath

[hazy gorge]

oh man

woods on pvp is hell

cant survive once

[cursive sky]

I'll do that after I've gotten LMG level 5

[tiny tangle]

most mfs just sit on sniper rock or near the lumber mill

[frigid flint]

its been chill for me, i just avoid the lake so i dont die to the rat sniper thats always around the gate or outskirts

[hazy gorge]

i avoid every part

[frigid flint]

lol

[hazy gorge]

nope i still die

[warm breach]

anyone got advice on finding the gpsa? wiki says electronics spawns on labs but that doesnt mean anything for me

[young frost]

yellow n the room next to it with parking garage switch

[hidden summit]

yellow, like boge said the room ahead of it on that same side, and iirc it spawns in the cages in both red and violet, i also think it can spawn on the large round table in the office space adjacent to yellow

[frigid flint]

cat room around the table, red, violet and yellow rooms have been spawning gpsa + mcc for me

i think the spawns are better now too, i was really strugglin to find one for a while and now they keep popping up after i dont need them lol

[cursive sky]

How late into the raid can the cultists spawn

[hidden summit]

yes

22 to 07 iirc, have had them spawn on shoreline with like 10 minutes left on their timer

[frigid flint]

ive had them spawn in with like 15 min left, but idk what the actual time range is.

make sure to clear stronghold, they sometimes cant spawn in if reshala is there

[hidden summit]

one time i cleared all their usual spawns, crackhouse area, blue gate area, construction ect, to find them by factory exit on stronghold

[hasty dagger]

I said nono words

I AM BACK BABY

[frigid flint]

pmcs can make them aggro into weird places
ive found them inside smokestack building before. heard a bunch of suppressed shots so i went to check it out and found a priest prone in there lmao

also does priest every do anything? hes always just chillin on his stomach lol

[hidden summit]

adding that to the checklist now

[glacial osprey]

whoopsie

[gaunt flume]

methinks i will make a 100% journey save

[hidden summit]

he'll headeyes you when your fighting his followers

[frigid flint]

oh fair enough, hes always just chillin when i find him lmao

[hidden summit]

ill be fighting his goons and not have any intel on priest just for him to shoot one round into my forhead from fucking narnia

he dosnt do much, but when he does its something alright

[frigid flint]

sucks they have nice ammo too, cant just armor through it
hate dying to cultists when they finally spawn, so annoying

[hasty dagger]

Yep.. :c

[hidden summit]

yeah, i try and always get eyes on priest before i kick off the fight if possible i want him to be first down

ive noticed that when its a non player that kills him, like a rando pmc getting the kill on him mid fight, he spawns absolutely no fucking loot

[frigid flint]

oh gross thats annoying

[cursive sky]

Need to stop forgetting to bring flares with me

[hidden summit]

it might just be a coincidence each time but id be lying if i wasnt suspicious that it has to be a player kill for him to have loot

[hidden summit]

i honestly just always keep a greenflare, paracord and a surv kit in my special slots for any map. makes it so i never forget any of my extract tools

[cursive sky]

F

Looted a stash, saw a mask that was purple ish

FACELESS

[cursive sky]

I usually keep a flare, but sometimes I just load in too quick into a new raid that I forget to replenish

[solid nebula]

What shotgun shells do people like to use?
For me it's Pirahna or Flechette

[cursive sky]

AP-20

[crystal umbra]

one last pmc kill away on woods from finishing Escort

fucking partisan probably knows this so he been trying to ambush me every single raid on woods so far kek

[cursive sky]

Sounds about right

[frigid flint]

shotgun flesh ammo is always fun, funny to watch people crumple over after donging their legs

[loud raptor]

When you use ap-20 and even thorax one shots them

[swift cloak]

lfg terminal

[glacial osprey]

magnum/flechette

[faint sparrow]

i killed partizan on woods thinking it was a normal scav, walked past his body, still thinking he was a scav, could use his bag

atleast the xp is nice

[hidden summit]

anyone know an up to date guide for farming aesas on reserve? all the ones ive found seem to be rather out of date.

[cursive sky]

Did that earlier on PVP this wipe, saw him eye balling some PMCs at the scav village on woods, popped him a few times in the head with worse than bad ammo, wondering why he didn't die quicker. Noticed when I left the raid xd

[faint sparrow]

i was using pp and killed pmcs in the area before so i thought the scav took their armour, partizan is either super easy or super hard

[hidden summit]

super easy in my experience, dont even realize i killed him in the 15+ scav army fights

9/10 if i die to him its well after ive killed him....

[faint sparrow]

i only died once to him, and it was because my pc froze right when i spawned in, unlucky

hes an easy 120 rounds of 7.62bp

[cursive sky]

I've died once to him this wipe, pushed into the big warehouse looking building at sawmill while fighting Shturman. Scanned the building, saw nothing, engage Shturman again and then suddenly I start taking backshots, turn around to see Partizan there just before he straight up executes me

[late creek]

ive never seen partizan ngl

[faint sparrow]

but he probably saw you

[warm breach]

i just killed him when he tried to come into crackhouse

i was doing secrets of polk

[late creek]

ive killed him on pvp but not pve yet

[cursive sky]

He's weird af, most of the times he's shot at me once while emoting and then just does nothing before he dies lol

[hidden summit]

yeah hes got pmc brain bad

i find him staring at the sky in random spots quite often

[warm breach]

he's counting sunspots

[hidden summit]

just no thoughts at all

[cursive sky]

Thousand yard stare admiring the stars

[late creek]

lmaoo

[faint sparrow]

i just see him standing somewhere or just walking the oppostie dirrection of me

i couldve looted him, maybe he had a red rebel\

[warm breach]

he stalks me like crazy

if i enter a building, i leave to about 30 tripwires

[cursive sky]

He's feeling the presence of your aura and says not today

[faint sparrow]

maybe he saw all the scav bodies on emercom base and thought its not worth it

[warm breach]

legit left big red and the dude placed 17 tripwires

[hidden summit]

i came out of dorms marked once to find a tripwire every 5ft

[warm breach]

i know, because i didnt enter the raid with 17 grenades. i entered with none

[cursive sky]

Haha

[hidden summit]

didnt even hear the man planting em

[faint sparrow]

he doesnt make sound i think

[warm breach]

his planting is pretty silent

even his movements are quiet

[faint sparrow]

only when you throw a grenade or something he voicelines

[warm breach]

but when he steps on a staircase, he's kinda loud

im more suprised he tried to go into 2nd story crackhouse

[hidden summit]

yeah i think i was more preoccupied greiving at how bad the loot from marked was

just in total disbelief

[faint sparrow]

whats the best marked room?

[warm breach]

none

they're all pretty equally bad

[faint sparrow]

so expensive for nothing

[hidden summit]

reserve feels like the only decent ones right now

[cursive sky]

Cause of the stupid quests

[hidden summit]

but even then its a big scam

[faint sparrow]

millions must go to reshala bunkhouse, billions even

[mystic marsh]

THICC weapon case obtained let's goo

[hidden summit]

honestly im having better luck with overseer and reshalas bunk than any marked room

hell even rez unit is giving me bitcoins

[faint sparrow]

i only went to reshala bunk once, got a lion and a val, 200k profit for free

sometimes when i kill reshala i forget to grab his key, happened twice now

[hidden summit]

go farm out another one from interchange, necrus and ultra pharmacy are broken beyond repair right now

take full advantage

[mystic marsh]

Just sold ultra medical key for 2.5 mil

[hidden summit]

its not 100% spawn i dont think, ive gotten it maybe two or three times off him

[mystic marsh]

39 uses out of 40 😭

I know I won't get anything out of that

[hidden summit]

ive been having way better luck with necrus than i am with ultra but both are generous

[faint sparrow]

i got like 4 of his pistols, i dont know why but i always grab them

[hidden summit]

leaving a raid with 2 or 3 leddies and a handfull of defibs quite often

[mystic marsh]

Good for you

[hidden summit]

sometimes you get a daily where you need to hand it in, i always keep a few in my manequins

[faint sparrow]

i think im gonna buy a pistol case just for his tt

is there a way to farm lvl 6 armour other than tagilla?

[hidden summit]

kiba

grumpies

[faint sparrow]

dont have the keys, kinda broke

[hidden summit]

tagilla
