[marsh wing]

gah damn

the TKPD's are no good?

[willow tinsel]

And those durabilities is less than 90 on those weapons i assume

[jaunty stream]

All GONE

[marsh wing]

i try not to hold onto anything under 80 if i notice it

[willow tinsel]

Ok fair game

[jaunty stream]

Well anything under 94 gone

cuz it can jam or malfunction

[marsh wing]

are there any parts i need to be taking off before i sell?

[jaunty stream]

that's just me tho lol

[willow tinsel]

Yea, I have the same mentality

[jaunty stream]

no

[marsh wing]

you cant make me sell my glock tho

[lethal garnet]

i told you to sell everything, you can keep the glock

[marsh wing]

okay

ill send pics once ive cleared stuff up

[lethal garnet]

you are welcome

[scarlet pier]

I wouldnt sell everything if you have space, because what else you are going to do with the space
but I wouldnt keep bad guns necessarily.

keeping good guns in your stash allows you to test them in hideout and get familiar with weapon modding

[toxic patio]

What to keep-

30mm Scopes
Good Foregrips
Good Pistolgrips
Expensive tactical attachments
Good Stocks

that's it

[jaunty stream]

SE-5, DD, Vudu and razer, GHRL

[marsh wing]

suppressors go?

[jaunty stream]

Depends

[halcyon depot]

how do i get the modernised AS val

[jaunty stream]

Quest

[halcyon depot]

ok thanks

[marsh wing]

#screenshots message

that's all of my loose weapon parts rn

[jaunty stream]

All go apart from the yellow grip

[marsh wing]

im keeping the M-lok grip because i cant buy those yet

[jaunty stream]

SE-5 on top

[toxic patio]

I don't keep Vudu vudu is eh

[marsh wing]

are there any specific mags that i need to look out for?

im going through mags next

[jaunty stream]

AK 60 rounders

[toxic patio]

compared to other riflescopes, there's better options and i like higher magnification

[jaunty stream]

3 FIR For ice cream cones

[toxic patio]

shit i play 3x24

[toxic patio]

craftable

[scarlet pier]

and easily found... I have a mag case full and still keep finding them

[gray wigeon]

keeping mags is waste of space

[scarlet pier]

again, what am I gonna do with the space if I have it

[gray wigeon]

12k mags 2 slots

[marsh wing]

#screenshots message
I got 2 1/2 pages lol

[toxic patio]

i keep expensive or rare mags like M4 60rd

[scarlet pier]

I keep these as well...

[jaunty stream]

Yeh tell that to me who had level 1 lav when I had ice cream cones

Actually shit in your hands and clap

[toxic patio]

skill issue

[gray wigeon]

60mags with that -60% reload speed are so bad that i dont even bother

[toxic patio]

lmao hideout is so easy on pve having it maxed should be done as soon as you get lv30

[scarlet pier]

60mags are useful in specific situations

[toxic patio]

the only deep magazine i run is the 100rd box for an LMG

or for p90

[jaunty stream]

Cool bro, Imagine not having a near maxed hideout in just over 2 weeks

[toxic patio]

lav 2 takes like... two and a half days max

lav one takes maybe an hour...

[scarlet pier]

60 mags are useful when you kill Kaban and get rushed by three guards at the same time

[toxic patio]

they're good backup mags

[jaunty stream]

Nah use 20 rounders on a SR-25

[toxic patio]

i prefer low mag count and a sidearm

[scarlet pier]

everything is viable, its a matter of preference

I like using a variety of guns

[jaunty stream]

Wouldn't say preference, it's mostly down to skill

[scarlet pier]

from SVD to the NL545

[scarlet pier]

thats bait

[jaunty stream]

Could say comfortability

[scarlet pier]

hmm yellow card on Tagilla... must be my 20th kill of him and first time I get a card

[jaunty stream]

Ability to take down scavs, Kaban and all his guards in a single 20 round mag then people running around with 60s shit scared

[scarlet pier]

good for you honey

[toxic patio]

it's entirely preference

[toxic patio]

this is strategy, not skill

[dusty owl]

how has labs loot been recently ?

any big nerfs or anything ? maybe nerfed or buffed in the shadows?

[twilit heath]

just ran across woods at 67 kgs to the flare extract for the flare to glitch out and not work

im done looting woods

[twilit heath]

yellow been huge for me the two times i hit it, black has been disappointing

[jaunty stream]

Take the transit then

wait woods flare?

[twilit heath]

i didnt realize the flare didnt work till the sniper was shooting at me

the power lines extract

[jaunty stream]

Ah

No outskirts?

[marsh wing]

#screenshots message
Not quite done yet. Still have more to do, but im gonna go make some chocolate chip cookies

[twilit heath]

i only had 3 mins left and i was so fat D:

[maiden pecan]

I just had my armor disappear off my body after I opened the pier door on terminal, is this intended?

[jaunty stream]

I'm so confused bro just sell it all to mechanic

[twilit heath]

p sure you get all your gear back from a chest

[maiden pecan]

no it was the last door you unlock

[marsh wing]

there are a few guns i need to stash for quests, and im keeping the MP-133 for the setup quest. But like i said, im not done yet lol

im also keeping some bolt actions for the shooter born in heaven and tarkov shooter

[jaunty stream]

MXLR

[twilit heath]

why keep the sks

sell all the cheap weapons

[jaunty stream]

just buy the MP133 from jaeger

[marsh wing]

ima throw the sks on my weapon wall. I like how it looks idk

[twilit heath]

also sell the cheap mags

no point in saving them

[marsh wing]

that's down from 2 1/2 pages

i started selling mags i had excess of or guns i dont have

but like i said, ima go make cookies

[round orbit]

If I already have Solar, is there any reason to keep that Advanced Current Converter? I don't see any quests for it

[lethal garnet]

not a second one

[wraith chasm]

what they gonna add next update

anyone knows?

[brisk stag]

Nothing, they're actually cutting performance by about 13%

[wraith chasm]

wow

[hazy gorge]

making streets lag more

[distant obsidian]

You know as much as we do

[gaunt rune]

🦆

[lethal garnet]

that’s true

[orchid crest]

Throw that puppy in your cultist circle

[fleet loom]

DONT PUT THE PUPPY IN THE CULT CIRCLE

[unborn jay]

i just extracted with 2 vpx in my kappa container, but when i got to my stash there was only 1

[marsh wing]

Oh shi, Battlepass season 2 just got announced

I need to hurry up, im only around level 60

[jovial cobalt]

where!

[distant obsidian]

Wut

Show me

[marsh wing]

In the launcher, you can see the newsletter, and a i quote, "Before April, we are rolling out two updates, bringing a revamped ShootOut mode, new BattlePasss season, release content from EFT, and much more."

[jovial cobalt]

oh i thought there was like a trailer out already

[marsh wing]

#screenshots message

This is all there is for us to know afaik

[distant obsidian]

It says Q1

It's just a road map. You baited us.

https://arena.tarkov.com/news

[marsh wing]

they literally say, "Before April, we are releasing updates including new battlepass season"

thats means we at least have a broad deadline of the next two months

[distant obsidian]

We already knew that lol. I'm going to hate you for 29 second due to this bait. Starting now

[marsh wing]

well crap. Then i guess ill back to making my cookies

[distant obsidian]

Ok I can't count that high. I'm over it

[hazy gorge]

i hate him just because i can

[distant obsidian]

Fair

[spiral fulcrum]

you know what i just realized

[fleet loom]

tax

[spiral fulcrum]

i've never turned my generator on

[agile tinsel]

would be sick if they added a chance for power outage on labs

[lethal garnet]

actually that’s a really cool idea, or power switches for different areas

like you could blackout med unit

[agile tinsel]

yeah

[toxic patio]

I want. power outages on labs. that spawns. black division.

[lethal garnet]

oh my god

[toxic patio]

Labs boss threat should be BD.

[lethal garnet]

the idea is getting even better

[worthy otter]

What if

Now hear me out

This might be a hot take

[lethal garnet]

say something for gods sake

[sonic comet]

bait

[spiral pecan]

Your bait

Its not gonna happen though

BD would be insanely farmable and people would bitch and cry about them being too op

[lethal garnet]

cannot wait to watch more japanese ramen shop videos tonight

get ready chek i’ll send another

[fiery crescent]

is there a way to obtain labrys keycards without resetting account for story missions

[distant obsidian]

farm tag for that like 1% drop

[brisk stag]

Tagilla I think

[lethal garnet]

barter

[distant obsidian]

no barter unless you reset

[lethal garnet]

what

[fiery crescent]

yeah barter is locked

[distant obsidian]

new barter is tied to main story. all others were removed

[lethal garnet]

ohhhh

[fiery crescent]

ive been trying to tagilla farm and already did cultist circle for a keycard

[distant obsidian]

no reset, no story, no barter

[worthy otter]

Just reset and do the story

[fiery crescent]

but im filthy rich 🙁

[worthy otter]

All you have to do is walk up to the door and the barter is unlocked like the next day

[distant obsidian]

money doesnt matter in pve

[worthy otter]

You will be filthy rich again just by playing

Money is literally infinite

You spawn millions of roubles just by starting a raid

[distant obsidian]

exactly

[toxic patio]

"pve is hard"

Labs is baby easy bro wtf are you on

[marsh wing]

yeah, no matter how low i get, i always manage to come back up. I made an easy 4mil just by selling a bunch of my guns and stuff i dont need

[toxic patio]

money is so easy to make here

it's almost boring, i'm debating wiping my account already just to go back to the struggle

[worthy otter]

When I reset my profile I was over the integer limit, had over 2.147 billion roubles and like 20 thicc cases filled with other cases

[marsh wing]

delete everything in your stash but a golden tt

[distant obsidian]

even wiping its not a struggle

[toxic patio]

let me put it this way

i deleted all my items for fun a night ago

left my containers because i hate organizing.

four or five raids later and i've already gotten back to labs and have tons of good ammo again

[fleet loom]

labs makes it too ez

they just need to make the pmcs crackheads instead of lesser raiders

[hard slate]

any ideas where i can find SJ9 beside pool on upper chalet or labs?

[hidden apex]

[lethal garnet]

https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/SJ9_TGLabs_combat_stimulant_injector

[marsh wing]

i got crappy dailies in Arena and i dont have enough rub to change them :(

[tropic jewel]

How to fix the 228 error? I can't do much when this error pops up everytime I try to navigate the menus etc.

I've restarted, verified files etc.

[marsh wing]

turn the PC off and back on again?

[worthy otter]

You using an RPDN?

[tropic jewel]

Negative

[worthy otter]

Then it’s a backend issue, use a different set of servers

[tropic jewel]

👍

[brisk stag]

I'm gonna miss y'all when Discord rolls out it's age verification crap.

[worthy otter]

Why?

[brisk stag]

'Cause I ain't trusting them with my personal data

[meager coyote]

Real

[worthy otter]

They already have far more data right now than they are asking for

[manic pewter]

Just use a picture of some random bloke

[hazy gorge]

I trusted roblox with my id

[worthy otter]

A picture of your face is nothing compared to what you already share by using the client

[gleaming junco]

does playing Tarkov Arena level up your PvE pmc?

[hazy gorge]

Never again

[manic pewter]

Yes

[cursive summit]

I mean this server im pretty sure isnt 18 plus, also just use Gmod or a getti images photo

[light patrol]

Finally spawned the RBK. Suck it nerds

[violet plaza]

tf i collected moreman's phone but it didnt count for me

[orchid crest]

just killed kollontay for the first time

was a rough battle but i am the victor

[manic pewter]

In mall or mvd?

[slate vector]

Zarya grenade on tagilla is OP as hell

[orchid crest]

not sure where i was, i dont know streets very well

[slate vector]

He was walking in slow motion towards me

[manic pewter]

Well, did it look like a mall lol

[meager coyote]

Were you in a multi level shopping center?

[violet plaza]

bruh why did moremans phone just vanish from my inventory

[light patrol]

That a quest item? Did you die while it was in your taste inventory?

[marsh wing]

using a machine gun in Arena is just putting the game in easy mode

you dont even need to ADS, just start blasting and take out everyone and everything

[violet plaza]

no i just extracted with all 3 items from woods and it kept the code and the dogtag but the phone dissapeared

[vast monolith]

anyone else think only being able to buy like 90 rounds of m856a1 or pp for 762x30 every 2+ hours is annoying

[manic pewter]

Better off farming reshala

[hard slate]

they nerf the crap out of labs, not the injectors heavens that used to be

[jovial cobalt]

annoying for PP because atleast can get a lot of 56a1 from bosses guards maybe or 100rd boxes

[violet plaza]

yes, more painful when i only get 60 SP-6 and 7N40 every reset

[jovial cobalt]

the only boxes of PP i find are a measley 30rds

[violet plaza]

cant farm any good 9x39 anywhere

[marsh wing]

just use a MP5 and farm PST off of PMC's

[manic pewter]

You can craft PAB-9 tbf

[violet plaza]

yea but they nerfed the amount and sometimes you need more pen for like labyrinth

[marsh wing]

i need to figure out what my go to gun is so i can start farming ammo. I kinda just use what i have until i die and pick something else

[manic pewter]

Why would you use 9x39 for labyrinth?

[violet plaza]

technically you can craft all ammo tyhpes so isnt very unique in that aspect

[vast monolith]

well true the buy capability alone is annoying, most level 4 rounds (40 pen) are all like that. like do they expect us to use 5 bullets per raid to kll the whole map

[violet plaza]

SP-6 shreds them pretty quick and the reloads are fast on the mod4, i can run way lighter

[tribal pollen]

is the door for crackhouse facing roadblock always open

[marsh wing]

i need some good 7.62x39 for the RD im using. I was running SP and FMJ, no wonder i couldnt kill anything

[manic pewter]

A 50rd drum of M993 or M80A1 will shred equally fast or faster tbf

[violet plaza]

think i have like 4500 rounds of PP at this point for 7.62

[manic pewter]

Run PS

[violet plaza]

i just run M80A1 for bosses and M80 for casual runs

[marsh wing]

i have a bunch of BT from killa, so i might start using those guns to farm better ammo for others

[marsh wing]

i cant remember if i have any, i just know its what i was running

[spiral pecan]

how much

[marsh wing]

couple hundred i think

[manic pewter]

You said you were running SP and FMJ, not PS

[spiral pecan]

i have like 14000 rounds of BT and thousands of pretty much each type down to 7n40

i dont use or like 545 ever idk why

[marsh wing]

no im saying i was running those two, but i think i might have some PS. I just didnt realize i was running those two

[manic pewter]

I havent run any ammo lower than PS for a russian gun since 1.0 dropped tbh

[jovial cobalt]

idk i never struggle tooo much with it, just have to switch between ammo types sometimes depending on my stock of ammo

[violet plaza]

id sell a bunch of that BT, at that rate you will never get rid of it and you should use 7N40 for actual runs

[spiral pecan]

BT is the best round in the game i will not tolerate any objections

[manic pewter]

Went straight for PP and BT

[spiral pecan]

okay penetration and literally fucking everywhere

[orchid crest]

naw it looked more like an apartment of some sort?

[manic pewter]

Impossible to not get a net positive out of murking reshala and his guards

[violet plaza]

with 7n40 from prapor i dont really need to run anything lower than that at this point

[spiral pecan]

this

also cultist farming just gives you loads of high pen 545 and 7.62x39 BP gzh which im doin rn

[violet plaza]

if you really want PPBS or other high tier ammo just farm labyrinth for it

[spiral pecan]

who the fuck wants PPBS

[violet plaza]

dunno, its more to just kill tagilla again lol

[manic pewter]

Id pick BS 9/10 times over igolnik

[violet plaza]

i just end up finding more PPBS than normal BS from tagilla and killa

[manic pewter]

NL545 plus BS is instant death for whoever is on the receiving end

Only need one mag of it too on maps like interchange to shred Killa

[violet plaza]

i like running BP for casual runs too if i dont have 7n40 on hand

[meager coyote]

You were at da academy

[marsh wing]

i wish you could report someone in arena for excessive team killing

he killed me 5 different times in one match

tried to kick him but no one else voted yes

it really started to piss me off after the 3rd time

[burnt reef]

so the wiki says there is a set location at "center staircase" on factory where is that?

[marsh wing]

im assuming the small room in the middle of factory with the staircase

what are you trying to do?

[lethal garnet]

i’m sorry but you gave absolutely ZERO context to this. what do you expect people to do?

what’s the task, what are you trying to do? place the trip wires ?

[cobalt karma]

can you prestige in pve now???

[lethal garnet]

no

[cobalt karma]

i saw someone looking for group in game with the prestige symbol

[burnt reef]

weapon/armor repair kit set spawns

it has a screenshot but it is dark and all i can see green crates

[spark wave]

personally ive found all my armour/weapon repair kits on customs since 1.0

[burnt reef]

where?

im just doing factory to grab scav guns to repair

[lethal garnet]

you can craft them with a broken kit you buy

customs is better for kits imo

i find them often

[burnt reef]

like the set spawns or in certain containers?

[lethal garnet]

set spawns

[spark wave]

the concrete skeleton near pocketwatch tanker and the buildings around the elbow/RUAF can have a few

[lethal garnet]

most are listed on the wiki

[burnt reef]

yea again i was just doing the ones on factory because its easy to farm half broken guns

[spark wave]

look on mapgenie lilmiz for customs

[hazy gorge]

damn tarkov doesnt feel as fun anymore

[spark wave]

you can search specific stuff like i typed in "repair" and it shows all the spawns for the kits

[manic pewter]

Ive found kits in big red and in the hut by smuggler boat

Always been my go to places anyways on customs

[grizzled yoke]

has tarkov collabed before? Or will tomorrow be the first ever tarkov collab?

[clear wasp]

Talking with somebody about EFT and I realized I forgot: how long has the Rogues bug been in the game? The one where you shoot a Rogue and suddenly everybody that isn't already hostile to you becomes hostile?

[grizzled yoke]

forever

[distant obsidian]

thats not a thing

[clear wasp]

I'm trying to find something that verifies for sure how long it's been in. After some of my Terminal runs died from it I'm just wondering how long this bug has been in the game.

[grizzled yoke]

if you aggro rogues while santa was around, santa would be shoot on sight
this is a thing

[distant obsidian]

santa isnt here anymore

its not a thing

likely what ever your talking about is new as all that content these npcs are in are new

santa last year had 0 issues

[clear wasp]

man's trolling; it's a known bug today that RUAF Guards in particular will be aggressive to you if you've shot Rogues. I'm vaguely aware that this is a bug that keeps coming up, just trying to find out when it started.

[peak coral]

will i still get a run through if i transit somewhere and immediately run to extract

[distant obsidian]

you have no idea what your talking about and I am the troll. Lol

keep on taking those Ls my dude. You stack them up

[mystic berry]

I think so yeah you need exp or time

[orchid crest]

i think so, it counts as new raid, id just do some looting and you should be aight

[grizzled yoke]

I haven't ever had ruaf kill me before, maybe bc I haven't aggro'd rogues in a hot minute lol

[distant obsidian]

interesting question. I assume the 2 reqs still apply, raid time or exp

[clear wasp]

I had two back-to-back Terminal runs where they just squad-shot me right out of the opening room, because between attempts I tried and whiffed a Snatch attempt

[grizzled yoke]

RIP blank rfid cards

[mystic berry]

Do the rogue aggro not reset if you die?

[distant obsidian]

no, 3 raids

[marsh wing]

Requisites for not being a Run Through are 200 exp from either looting or killing

[orchid crest]

isnt it like 3 rounds of not killing rogues to reset?

[clear wasp]

It's based on raids completed since shooting a Rogue, and when you transit to Terminal it doesn't count the Shoreline run as a full raid for this counter

Or, in an even funnier scenario, their aggro timer resets when they shoot you

[mystic berry]

hmm makes sense

[marsh wing]

"Run-Through is obtained by completing a raid with less than 200 EXP from Combat and Looting. You can also avoid this status by being in a raid for 7 minutes or longer."

[distant obsidian]

I think its been 600 or 700 for awhile now. Or 7 mins

[spiral pecan]

how the fuck did this guy completely zero out a FIR zhuk emr

[distant obsidian]

that 200 was changed in the last couple of years since that post was made. 4 year old data

[marsh wing]

this is directly from wiki

[orchid crest]

does fire damage body armor?

[clear wasp]

how'd you kill him?

[distant obsidian]

then post the wiki page

[spiral pecan]

no it was off fence

[marsh wing]

https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Experience

[distant obsidian]

nvm, I see it now.

[orchid crest]

lmaooo

[manic pewter]

Cut out a hole with a pair of scissors ahh damage

[marsh wing]

like, when i checked two days ago, it was 200 lol

[orchid crest]

thats impressive then

[distant obsidian]

yeah I imagine it hasnt changed in 2 days lol

[marsh wing]

Whats impressive is my 0/400 AFAK

[orchid crest]

waiting for 21:00 for insomnia 😴

[orchid crest]

put that in the hall of fame for sure lol

[clear wasp]

I wish you could put stuff like that in the Hall of Fame, some stuff is just too funny not to put somewhere

[marsh wing]

same, i wish

after insomnia i only got a few prapor quests, and a handfull of jager quests for collector im so ready

kappa reminds me of the One Small Favor questline from osrs

[grizzled yoke]

do you guys know the raider spawn% chances on reserve?

[orchid crest]

its pretty high personally, whenever i flip that switch they come runnin

[grizzled yoke]

whenever I flip the switch they never spawn

[peak coral]

where tf do i get an evasion armband bruh im 1 quest off kappa and dont have it

[marsh wing]

time to sort through all my ammo

[sage marsh]

Jackets/bags

[orchid crest]

according to reddit, its a 40% spawn rate

[marsh wing]

i had the chance to get one from a ragman quest at one time. I didnt finish it though :(

[distant obsidian]

jackets, bags, static bodies, purple suit cases and shturmans stash

[peak coral]

i do need to farm out 10 more shturman kills

[sage marsh]

Shturman is free money most times

Creep up and pop him in his big furry head

Yall like the sro or holographic sight better?

congratulations! i bet you won’t make that mistake again

That is a bet you will very likely lose

😭

[brisk stag]

I am, as the kids say, a bit of a goober.

Occasionally a gooner

[manic pewter]

[cursive moss]

Any idea where i can find that military radio for lightkeeper and task, i cant find them absolutely anywhere ive been going at it for 2-3 weeks now and i cant progress in the game because of it

[manic pewter]

No Goons allowed, go away Knight, Big Pipe or Birdeye or whoever you are

[jovial cobalt]

cofdm?

[cursive moss]

Yea

[jovial cobalt]

i was coming to ask the same thing ngl

[cursive moss]

😂

[jovial cobalt]

reserve or lighthouse or streets

but idk where more specifically

[manic pewter]

Labs too

[jovial cobalt]

ah bet im going labs my first next raid then

[manic pewter]

New room in the bunker has pretty decent chances

RB-PKPTS

[cursive moss]

I checked every on those maps and still cant ive run probably 30 times each map looking for them and about 50mil on cards for labs

[jovial cobalt]

do they spawn in labyrinth too?

[manic pewter]

Most likely

[cursive moss]

Cant access labyrinth to because wuest for it isnt working

[manic lance]

has anyone seen goons the last few mins?

[manic pewter]

Ask google

[cursive moss]

Lmao the goons i have only found them once since 1.0

Tagilla ist a problem tho or shterman

Isnt

[manic lance]

nah i dont need to be booted from the discord thanks

[manic pewter]

That's why I told you to Google

So you DONT get booted

Or rather, me for suggesting using that what shan't be named

[manic lance]

or you know, maybe... just maybe i would get someone that has fought them recently so i can spam the map.

[manic pewter]

That, or you just spam one map till it works I guess

[manic lance]

if youre going to be unhelpful and tell me to use 3rd party trackers then keep quiet

[manic pewter]

Id just go customs till I find em

Never told you to use one but sure

[ebon iron]

so prokills are close to a million now on flea... got it

[manic pewter]

Guh

They were 70k yesterday

[ebon iron]

thats what im sayin man

[manic lance]

telling someone to look for goons on google is the same as telling them to use a goon tracker

but sure

[manic pewter]

Whatever man

[manic pewter]

Good thing I didn't sell any of my prokills to therapist when I was clearing out my stash then 🙏

[quartz thicket]

🤓

[orchid crest]

Not the delayed awaiting server start please no

Tarkov please I need to do insomnia

[quartz thicket]

i fkin hate killing PMCs in specific areas

[jovial cobalt]

also running customs until you find them can take a lot of time if the goons rotate every 2-5 hours between like 4 maps?

[violet plaza]

theres a reason capturing outposts and return the favor are considered the worst missions

[jovial cobalt]

altho im not helpful either bc i havent seen them in the past bit

[quartz thicket]

I gotta kill PMCs in dorm, haven't seen a pmc in dorms in like 10 runs

[manic pewter]

I want to crucify whoever decided on never having a single person be inside the factory when im there for Provide Viewership

Honestly my least favorite quest for Ref

I might have to bite the bullet soon and do to great heights 4 and pay the 1m

[humble lodge]

Have you guys had issues with the game recently? Ive been crashing like crazy, idk if its a me thing

[sage marsh]

How much ram do you have?

[distant obsidian]

ram check

[manic lance]

more helpful than "ask google"

[jovial cobalt]

ask chat gpt lol

[distant obsidian]

return the favor is easy now

[jovial cobalt]

isnt there a whole discord server dedicated to finding the goons

just not sure if they're lame and break tos somehow

[violet plaza]

i did both but still disliked them a lot

[spiral pecan]

im genuinely disappointed that were into 1.0 and capturing outposts still hasn't been changed for pve man

[distant obsidian]

return the favor you can complete in a short afternoon.

old return the favor took over 50 raids on avg

while waiting almost the full raid each raid

they are not the same

[jovial cobalt]

they might be on customs still, they were spotted an hour ago

[spiral pecan]

ye they're still on customs

[brisk stag]

On one hand, I need to complete Stray Dogs...on the other, I'm 1/4 against the Goons...Knight is a a*hole.

[sturdy grove]

Almost had the eazycook book but tagilla amnushed me
Least got cjainlets and horse.... will keep factorying until i get library

[azure rivet]

I'm just coming back to EFT after a long stretch, so forgive my ignorance, but is Partizan a much more common occurrence in PVE?

[brisk stag]

If you want to drop Tagilla with minimal fuss, camp the bottom floor on the outside, where the Woods transit is. He's too dumb to climb through the window or go around...for now.

Less likely to take a hammer to the dome

[jovial cobalt]

probably less common because pmc karma does not exist in pve, and im fairly sure that it affects how he spawns and aggros to players in pvp

up to luck kinda

[brisk stag]

He's pretty inconsistent. Hadn't seen him for 10+ raids than he unsuccessfully ambushed mee on Shoreline

[azure rivet]

I just hit him on woods, then again the very next raid he was teamed up with Reshala and the boys at dorms. Feels personal. I've never even seen him playing PVP

So unfamiliar with him, I panicked because I thought I killed a random Santa the first time lol

[marsh wing]

im finally done cleaning my stash

#screenshots message
All my weapons, ammo, and mags i have left that arent on my wall in hideout

[twilit heath]

youre still saving a lot of shit

[marsh wing]

but i also have 42 empty rows

[twilit heath]

also are you ever actually gonna use that spear and g28

[dire onyx]

sell everything you don't use

[marsh wing]

nah, yall arent allowed to preach to me anymore right now after all the shit i just sold and got rid of

i have 42 empty rows and few empty backpacks at the bottom of my stash. Im free

[twilit heath]

youre a hoarder

[dire onyx]

fr

[twilit heath]

this is an intervention

[marsh wing]

what am i gonna use the space for?

i bought the stash lines, im gonna use the stash lines

[dire onyx]

hoard stuff you use, make gear sets

[twilit heath]

i make like 6-8 good gear sets and sell everything else

since you got extra space you can make more but only keep stuff you'll actually use

your missing out on opportunity cost

[marsh wing]

ima go try to kill kaban for the first time

[twilit heath]

he's easy if youre patient

[marsh wing]

i need to kill guards and get into the red container, right?

or i can immediately get blasted by a GL

failed to jump over some boxes, out on the street and i got blasted

1:21 into raid

[sage marsh]

wrong side of lexos

[marsh wing]

i spawned by basketball court

[violet plaza]

whats a good order to do the story chapters for the savior ending? ive only done falling skies and a bit of batya at this point

[twilit heath]

if theyre already on the gl you got rotate around the entire map to avoid it

[marsh wing]

i had no idea he was on GL

[twilit heath]

ive had that fucker snipe me across the map a few times

poor rng dont buy a lottery ticket anytime soon

[marsh wing]

im already geared back up and going in again

[young frost]

u should be going around anyways. like thru the lil restaurant to the south

wandering down the road is pretty much guaranteed death

[marsh wing]

only time ive gotten remotely close to LexOs was when i didnt know there were claymores

[near hedge]

anyone seen goons on NA servers?

[brisk stag]

Classic

[jovial cobalt]

they were on customs like 2 hrs ago

not sure if they moved on by now

[marsh wing]

im gonna take a wide birth this time and move in slow

[jovial cobalt]

[brisk stag]

I need his PKP for GS-25

[sage marsh]

sus

[marsh wing]

depends on where i spawn actually, if i spawn up north then im just going to focus on some tasks i have

maybe hit marked factory

[young frost]

u want one ?

[boreal gulch]

Forgot to switch out my plates after fighting killa and got 1 tapped by a scav.
The Shame...

[sage marsh]

i have like 3 pkp just chillin in my boxes

[brisk stag]

Anything you want for it?

[young frost]

nah i just want it out of my stash

[brisk stag]

Okay, I'm hopping in #39 voice chat

[marsh wing]

i peaked the intrance and got dropped to like 50hp

[twilit heath]

you cant peak from an angle they're already looking at or they're gonna laser you

[marsh wing]

like i said, first time

[twilit heath]

invest in flash grenades

[marsh wing]

now im sitting under the watchtower at entrance trying to figure out how to play this

[fluid sinew]

Is there a way to kill the BTR driver? He shot me while I was pressing Kaban (car dealership) on streets.....fucking asshole

[marsh wing]

you dont kill him lol

[twilit heath]

not without cheating

[fluid sinew]

Fuck that dude fr

[twilit heath]

throws nades to get them to voiceline and be fast with your peaks

[cursive summit]

Throw nades to get them off the machine guns

[spiral pecan]

only via bugs and cheats

cant really do anything to the btr like disable it or whatever

[marsh wing]

i was able to get in and get behind the red container, i barely peaked and 2 of them dropped me instantly

idk if i wanna keep trying

[onyx depot]

escape from aimbot

[marsh wing]

fk it, im going to bed

i guess ill try again in the morning if prapor returned some of my stuff

lost rig with lvl 6 and another with lvl 5

[scarlet pier]

cant peak AI that knows your location, they will be ready for you. grenades force them to move

[marsh wing]

yeah well i didnt know they knew where i was at and i had already used 4 nades

[scarlet pier]

even then, peeking Kabans guards you have maybe half a sec to drop them before they react

[marsh wing]

what kind of gun should i be using for this since everyone said that i need to sell all my guns

[scarlet pier]

yeah, I take at least 6 nades to Lexos

[proper harness]

wtf i just ran into reshala and his boys right next to RUAF. 5k hrs, never seen that once b4, anyone else ever seen em there?

[scarlet pier]

any gun you are comfortable with hitting headshots, or that pen their armor, which normally is level 3 but can be higher

[onyx depot]

I had cultists at Dorms once

[proper harness]

ok

[scarlet pier]

I have used multiple but my preferred are full auto low recoil assault rifles, like an M4, NL545, MCX

[boreal gulch]

Tarkov releases BTR
Tarkov then releases actual to god RPG
RPG cant damage or kill BTR...

[scarlet pier]

especially if you kill Kaban before killing all his guards, bc at that moment they all rush you at the same time

[vale girder]

are the servers down?

taking fforever to load out

[marsh wing]

any recommended nades? I have f-1, zarya, vog 17 and 25

[scarlet pier]

not all rocket launchers are anti-tank weapons. this one has a thermobaric warhead

anti-personnel

[scarlet pier]

I use an M67 at the opening as it has a long fuse and keeps the AI distracted for the longer, but any grenade is enough

[marsh wing]

i got one of those

[boreal gulch]

twas a joke man

[marsh wing]

im tempted to take in RGN just to get them used

1 m67, 2 f1, 2 rgn, and 2 zarya. That good enough?

going in with RD-704 using BP, PP, and PS

[scarlet pier]

I approach from Cafe, chuck one before crossing the parking barrier arm, check/kill the guy on top GL and maybe the guy on left MG, then drop another behind the container, peek/go into the container and then proceed from there

[marsh wing]

CPC with 5 and 6 plates good enough?

[marble bronze]

tier 5 plenty for most of PvE

[scarlet pier]

sure, I only use RGNs in situations where I need to guarantee a kill in enclosed spaces though... you want a longer fuse to keep the AI running and give you time

same applies to zaryas

[marsh wing]

#screenshots message
This is my sorta go-to kit (somewhat, minus the stims and all but 3 nades)

i usually use a Osprey but both of mine are gone right now and i dont have access to buy them from ragman just yet

[distant obsidian]

I would be using a ulach over neo and something to cover the neck with class 3

[marsh wing]

like i said, i usually use an osprey and it has neck

[distant obsidian]

its neck is weak as fuck

hardly even worth it really.

[scarlet pier]

I've had NeoSteel tank headshots from raiders

[distant obsidian]

you have access to prapor 3s 6b armored rigs

neo lack ear protection. Hence why it over the neo

[marsh wing]

im prapor 2

[distant obsidian]

otherwise they are basically the same

31 and prapor 2?

[marsh wing]

like i said, i play the game how i want

[distant obsidian]

good for you, get your traders leveled

[marsh wing]

everyone is 2 except therapist, mech, and ref

[distant obsidian]

getr prapor 3 so you can get a good rig

[scarlet pier]

my current gear is NeoSteel and AVS with Gac3 plates, since I am favoring being light to level up endurance

[final trout]

why is tagilla in almost every factory run ive done? its deadass been like 5/7

[scarlet pier]

I gave up on neck protection after getting throated 3 times lol

[distant obsidian]

im perfectly light as well but I make sure all hit boxes are covered with something

hence the ulach over neo.

[marsh wing]

im just gonna start doing my own thing. im starting to get tired of everyone telling me something different and then saying that the other person is wrong

[distant obsidian]

no one said anyone is wrong

[marble bronze]

because he's bitchmade and wants to be farmed

[distant obsidian]

its almost like there is no "right way" to play

[final trout]

hes farming me

[scarlet pier]

yeah every gear has tradeoffs, its just a matter of choosing what you personally wants

[distant obsidian]

but there are better upgrades to your kit

new 6b over you cpc for starters

[scarlet pier]

also the best way to learn is checking for yourself, which is what I do and why I refrain from saying "do this or else"

[distant obsidian]

there are some right an wrong things for sure

[scarlet pier]

sure, like running bad ammo

[distant obsidian]

but like using a neo and avs over what ever I use, prefrence

[twilit heath]

why does killa wait to show up until after i kill 3 pmcs and 20 scavs

[distant obsidian]

running 2 aramid armor ect...

[twilit heath]

he never fucking voicelines either D:

[distant obsidian]

i mean you can almost always hear him coming

hes either running or crabing but hes always m,aking sound

[twilit heath]

i thought he was scav sneaking up on me Dx

[frigid pond]

are marked rooms still ass?

[scarlet pier]

they sometimes go into a silent mode for a while

[distant obsidian]

well you never confirmed he was dead, you should always playu interchange like that sound is killa

otherwise you get owned like you just did

until I see his cold dead body, every sound is killa. Play like it

if you dont have a piece of hard cover within arms reach, you should NOT feel safe

and play those right hand peaks, never left

[marble bronze]

head peaks where he shoots the cover you're behind...

[marsh wing]

Im gonna be honest, ive had him appear out of thin air in a dead end hallway

[marble bronze]

killed his ass with m882 with a nasty head peak 😄

[marsh wing]

General consesus is yes im pretty sure

[twilit heath]

best thing ive gotten out of the last 5 pulls was a key case 😢

[toxic patio]

#screenshots money ez

[onyx depot]

Catbagel?

[toxic patio]

one labs raid

[toxic patio]

yes that's me why

[onyx depot]

cool name :3

[light root]

best map for computers?

[distant obsidian]

interchange

[toxic patio]

is it?

thought it was labs.

[onyx depot]

:3

[dire thicket]

Anyone down to help me with my first Terminal run?

[frigid pond]

damn

[stone harbor]

fuck it's like 2 in armor class, weak afffff

I always go for something better like a 3 at least

[distant obsidian]

thats assault. The protection one is 3. But is very low dura

[stone harbor]

yeah I prefer a high class protection over durability, money is not an issue in PvE anyway XD

[distant obsidian]

yeah

[stone harbor]

would hate to die due to some BS reason

[steel heath]

#screenshots message easiest killa kill ever and it's when I should not be killing any scavs

[distant obsidian]

I use a gen4 assault cause it looks cool

[stone harbor]

what do you think about the Samurai looking body armor?

[steel heath]

he followed me and I tazed him while he was trying to lob a grenade

[distant obsidian]

ive never liked the fort style. To bulky

[stone harbor]

that shiet is heavy af but it protected my body gud

yeah I just cant run and flank good enough with that thing

[steel heath]

brother, the gen4 assault will get you stomached and it doesn't even look that good. Just wear an HMK, the full, or better yet, get a thor

[distant obsidian]

gen3 assault is an og classic and gives that buff, ima fuck you up feel without the diabetes look

[stone harbor]

soooo bulky and heavy

[distant obsidian]

stomach doesnt kill

[steel heath]

become ungovernable. Wear a thor and flank in it. Run over those reprobates like the runaway truck it is

[distant obsidian]

it also takes the lowest amount of damage once blacked so

[steel heath]

Starvation and dehydration do

[distant obsidian]

also it does cover the stomach

[steel heath]

also the constant coughing is annoying

[distant obsidian]

just put it back on

surgery is a thing

[stone harbor]

or just Elite the skill haha

[distant obsidian]

you get a black arm or leg before a stomach is pvp

[stone harbor]

thanks to Christmas hehehe

[distant obsidian]

plus elite yeah

[steel heath]

as I have but it's still annoying

[distant obsidian]

like worrying about stomach protection is probably one of the more useless worries in this game

[stone harbor]

because of the coughing yep

[distant obsidian]

whioch of course gen4 assault protects

[steel heath]

you don't understand, I've been minorly inconvenienced!

on another note... know any good routes to check for PMCs on interchange...?

[distant obsidian]

i cant rememver the last time I had a black stomach.

[stone harbor]

same question, I need to kill em

[distant obsidian]

bear camp to power, power to b ear camp inside the mall

ramp behind oli as well

idea lobby almost always

[stone harbor]

I just got a 6 man stack PMC in front of IDEA lmaooooo

[distant obsidian]

spawns close to rail road

[stone harbor]

damn shootout

[distant obsidian]

I fucking had to kill and 8 man under idea when I was doing td2 with the sr2m

just to have killa get argoed and want some of these hands

fucking nightmare that was with that shit ass gun and ammo

[steel heath]

the step from fence for ticket is insane. 5 pmcs, in one raid, no scav kills

[distant obsidian]

but 8 kills for td2 😄

[steel heath]

ON SCAV CENTRAL
AND SHORELINE WHICH EVERYONE'LL BE SICK OF BY THEN

[steel heath]

...you didn't do that step on factory?

[distant obsidian]

5 kills is easy. Just run from every scav and transit

i did td 2 when it was the sr2m

before all these changes to make it better

[steel heath]

huh
You can start a raid on a map you have a kills obj on
transit
AND IT STILL COUNTS

[distant obsidian]

of course, you dont leave the raid

[stone harbor]

DAMNNN

[distant obsidian]

dont post sus links

[stone harbor]

I learned new things today

[hidden apex]

it was a cat gif u gae boi

[distant obsidian]

ye

[stone harbor]

alright i gotta do transit more to finish those nasty "in one raid" task

[distant obsidian]

you cant post links, and dont insult people like that, #rules

[distant obsidian]

your new here, if you act like that you wont last long

[hidden apex]

we got a mini mod over here lol

[distant obsidian]

better then a real mod coming and telling you

if they are not already watching. Going around the chat filter is also a no no

[steel heath]

My mind has expanded

[stone harbor]

judging from his og name, he is the real deal lmaooo

[hidden apex]

its funny to see a mini mod in the wild

[steel heath]

I could pursue this myself but it is already almost 11pm. I shall do this later. Even though tomorrow I have to go to the gym and do other responsible shit.

[distant obsidian]

He cant rage bait me with this weak stuff., All hes going to do is get himself in trouble

[stone harbor]

it is called orderly society, you may lack that in yours hehe

[distant obsidian]

he probably does lol

[distant obsidian]

chek was posting about 30 mins ago. Hes probably creepin right now lol

Hey man, if you dont want to take this friendly advice, someone less freindly will tell you.

the choice is yours

[stone harbor]

hey calling me a loli lover is an insult to my wife you prick

[steel heath]

anyway, I leave... for now.

[distant obsidian]

lol

[stone harbor]

better than you who has no real wife lol

[distant obsidian]

[stone harbor]

damn shame, see you later lovely muffin

[distant obsidian]

you know, I didnt expect him to actually take my advice. I am surprised.

good for him

[steel heath]

[distant obsidian]

[stone harbor]

yeah me too, damn ppl can be very compliance sometimes

so civilized

[distant obsidian]

this is also the only active chat right now. go us

[onyx depot]

says nothing to prolong the silence

[stone harbor]

what? I'm not gonna kill you and cook your organs up or anything love

[stone harbor]

[distant obsidian]

now I think you are

I wasnt thinking that before. But now I am

[stone harbor]

[onyx depot]

Do you need para-cord and red rebel to climb or one or the other?

[steel heath]

we are at dangerous levels of parasocial please halt the bit

[steel heath]

both. and you gotta put up your armor. the cord isn't consumed tho

[onyx depot]

interesting

[tight patrol]

thp secured perimiter is sucj bullshit

[marble bronze]

sit in your spawn for 30 seconds, then rush offices. if PMCs aren't there, yeet and repeat

[twilit heath]

after 5 uses of the grumpy key i can say it gives you a lot of armor

[tight patrol]

i do that and theyu never go there

i have gotten two kills in 20 raids

[twilit heath]

a slick spawned everytime and level 4-6 plates

[marble bronze]

also helps to bring a friend so you're on BSG servers and aren't getting cucked spawns

[tight patrol]

the other issue is fuckign tagilla

bro just refuses to die sometimes

[dire thicket]

if anyone is wanting to run Terminal, we have 2 right now

[tight patrol]

use the same gun same ammo same spot on him and he just like takns everythign sometimes

[marble bronze]

What ammo

[hollow prawn]

Tagilla defo decides he too angy to die sometimes

[tight patrol]

having to use 9x21 for test drive\

as well as trying to do secured perimiter

[onyx depot]

he's like a Starcraft Zealot.. Too angry to die

[hard cloud]

either go for his toes or bring another gun just for him

[gleaming junco]

Do you have to close Arena and open up tarkov PvE to complete your Ref tasks ?

[hollow prawn]

Ash 12 and B ammo does the job

[distant obsidian]

yes

[hard cloud]

sawn off DB w ap-20 was my go to XD

[hard cloud]

yea

[tight patrol]

I have killed him 3 or 4 times just fine with 9x21 bt but everyonce in a while her refuses to die

[tight patrol]

Don’t like the ash 12

[gleaming junco]

Does Arena affect your PvE skills? It seems like theres conflicting info on internet

[onyx depot]

Will goons fight cultists and reshala?

[tight patrol]

I don’t think so

But don’t quote me on that

[hard cloud]

yes it does from what ive seen

[onyx depot]

screenshotted

[marble bronze]

You don't like throwing freight trains at your enemies? Weird. ;p

[tight patrol]

Never could get into it

[hollow prawn]

I use it on semi auto and head shot

Maybe that way is better for you?

[late creek]

??circle

[quasi apex]

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

[tight patrol]

I tired to get into it but it never preformed good

I would have to dump like 10 shots into a scavs skull to kill it

[scarlet pier]

Arena affect PVE, but PVE does not affect Arena (PVP does)

[hollow prawn]

Use PS12 or the B ammo. A ammo has T1 pen

[tight patrol]

I think I was using ps12 cause that’s all I could buy at the time and it just didn’t do anything to anyone

[hard cloud]

ash-12 has the most satisfying casing drop sound

[hollow prawn]

Also the round is quite heavy so

[twilit heath]

click the head

[tight patrol]

I did and it did nothing to a bald scavs head

[hard cloud]

scav had that T5 head polish

[tight patrol]

And it wasn’t just the one it was multiple scavs that it happened to

[scarlet pier]

I'm not dismissing the fact there could be a bug in the hitreg or something, but headshotting a scav and it not dying never occurred to me

[tight patrol]

Wdym

[scarlet pier]

and when I thought it occurred, I looked at the body and the shot was at the chest

[hollow prawn]

I need a Evasion arm band for kappa and I just cant find one lol

[tight patrol]

I need fire kleen

I swear that shit no longer exists

[hard cloud]

reserve was where i got most of mine

[tight patrol]

I have seen a scav have like 4 bullets holes in his head and he was still kicking

[tight patrol]

I like the map but sick of running into gluhar on there

[hard cloud]

true true

[tight patrol]

I was doing the guide yesterday and ran reserve solo and ran into him and his guards along with like 5 pmcs

Killed them but goddamn my heart was racing it didn’t help that right before I did that I ran a woods raid and ran into Shturman as well

[hard cloud]

he is probs my most hated boss - i had 1 pmc kill needed for escort on rez and he coughtt me healing in KRPL - this is when i fouund out that he can now spawn at dome

[tight patrol]

Wait he can

[hard cloud]

yes

[tight patrol]

That would explain why the “pmc” survived three 338 rounds to the head

[hard cloud]

lmao that would

[tight patrol]

I was like is that gluhar but I was like no he doesn’t spawn here

[hard cloud]

my first though aswell as i was taking cover by going into dome - and gave him a kiss
thought hmmm maybe he wondered here.
next raid - had an unfortunate run in with a shottie scav and had to put my stomach back in. went in KPRL to do so and glueyy says hi thru the window. then found him there on a scav run just moochin around lol

[hollow prawn]

RB-PKPM key marked anygood? I just found 1 in factory lol

6mil for 1 use atm

[hard cloud]

can be -
but its worth using down to 1/10 and if you have
RB-VO 1/10 uses
RB-BK 1/10
@ jeager LV3 you can barter for a 10/10 Dorms Marked

[hollow prawn]

Possible to get Evasion down there?

[final pawn]

it sounds dumb but I just realized I can lock money

never accidentally buy something stupid expensive on the flea ever again

[hard cloud]

i mean yes - i personaly have had better luck with duffls and crates on shoreline for evasion

[hard cloud]

no dumb - i lock all my USD/EUR and then keep around 2mill unlocked unless i need more lol

[quartz thicket]

Time to one raid the guide

[hard cloud]

GL

[quartz thicket]

Ty

[hollow prawn]

Been runing factory for coats

[golden tusk]

19 spawns for getting acquainted is diabolical

[stone harbor]

yeah the loner population is getting skyrocketed the past 5~6 years

[final pawn]

oh god, whats that quest for??

please dont say lightkeeper

[hard cloud]

lightkeeper XD

[final pawn]

[golden tusk]

i didnt say it

[stone harbor]

[final pawn]

im still on assessment part 2 haha

and I gotta do the extra quests since I chose to be honorable and hand over the case

[hard cloud]

im on assessment P3 , cant for the life of me find the dam SJ9

[stone harbor]

got in lab yet?

1 black medical and you should see it

[final pawn]

THERES A PART 3?

this night keeps getting worse

[hard cloud]

ive done around 15 raids on labs and tried old black-green-blue and res unit med block - nada XD so gave up + i hate labs

[golden tusk]

cant craft?

[final pawn]

oh actually it doesnt look half bad

[hard cloud]

yurp

[final pawn]

kill 7 raiders craft the rest no

[hard cloud]

nope XD

[stone harbor]

SJ9 cannot be crafted

[hard cloud]

sadly sj9 is not craftable

[golden tusk]

oh why did i read 6

lmao

[final pawn]

well to be fair we need those too apparently

[hard cloud]

15 SJ1
5 SJ6
1 SJ9

[stone harbor]

SJ9 isnt useful in combat tho so no worries

[final pawn]

im logging on just to see if I have any already

[golden tusk]

only 1 too, i'm a stim hoarder so i had them all except for 1 craft on the sj1s, painful though

[final pawn]

I have 1 sj9 and its not FIR 💀

I'm at 31/40 BTC tho

[hard cloud]

i sold the 6 i had - im going for the fallen ending so kept the case, and didnt think id get the LK tasks as quick as i didso didnt realy look at what was needed for him lol

[golden tusk]

well fingers crossed you get that last one soon! sending all the good luck

[steel heath]

unlocking lightkeeper is one thing
having to go back to lighthouse to turn in and take every quest from him each time is the real pain

even though at one point it needs... gulp cofdms...

[final pawn]

I have gotten a bajillion cofdms already im not worried abt that

[steel heath]

they are fucking eeeeeeeevil

[quartz thicket]

Ground Zero > Streets > Interchange > Customs > Shoreline > Lighthouse > Reserve > Woods > Factory > The Lab

This will be fun

[steel heath]

you go to check the chalet safes on lighthouse, 70% of the time the shits are pissing empty

[steel heath]

going on a journey?

[quartz thicket]

Doing The Guide in 1 shot

[final pawn]

best of luck

[steel heath]

so then you check the wiki and realize 80% of the decent spawns are on reserve so you go and get the radar station keys, sell a kidney for an RBPKPTS, and then you go down there and open rb-pkpts... it's borderline empty

[scarlet pier]

maintenance in 30 minutes

[quartz thicket]

FUCK

[steel heath]

assuming you don't get fucked by rogues or comrade general in the meantime, you will find the ones you need just SITTING AROUND LULW

[final pawn]

I picked up a buddy on the guide for reserve just in case I spawned next to glukhar and my bro decided it was an AI (me) wearing an altyn and nearly ended it there lmao

[steel heath]

I hate reserve so much...

[quartz thicket]

giggles

[final pawn]

I reaaaaallly secretly hope we get more than some duck figurines with this patch

foolishly holding out hope for icebreaker

[sage marsh]

we get hideout duck or riot

[hard cloud]

i mean valid mistake

[hard cloud]

duck voicelines

[sage marsh]

we get ~6 hours of mayhem of people bitching about the game being down too long

[quartz thicket]

inb4 they accidentally skin 4 variants of ducks with the same skin and take 2months to fix it

[hollow prawn]

My buddy is the type to ask if "That you?" and shoot in the same breath with out giving me a chance to even process what he just asked lmao

[steel heath]

so there was this one time where I and 3 other of my dudes went to reserve for some bullshit
on the first attempt we all died on separate spots, I almost got out but decided to go back for one of their helmets (an altyn, naturally) and got tazed by a scav

[final pawn]

lmao, when I ask that question the answer is always "yes" even when it isnt lol

[final pawn]

brutal

[hollow prawn]

I didnt even get time to say anything. and some how its my fault

[hard cloud]

im normaly dressed like a neon light when i have my duo and she still shoots me

[scarlet pier]

going for one more hail mary raid on shoreline to try and finish 2 kappa quests

[steel heath]

it gets better
and then the next raid, the 4th guy, the agent of chaos, the italian (naturally) joins in
me and 2 more of us, the guy whose stuff I went back for included (Who was pissed I left him behind in the raid before) went to the locked room for revision reserve and because the general insanity pervading the VC is getting to me (there may have been one more, the britbong who doesn't play but likes watching) I leg the guy I left behind

[scarlet pier]

not shoreline, lighthouse

[hollow prawn]

You have a youtube channel dont you? I just looked at your shoreline evasion armband vid lol to see proof

[steel heath]

SO HE SHOOTS
THE THIRD GUY
my fellow american, who tends to have a chip on his shoulder, and like the other american, the lowest level in the squad (and the employed one, naturally) owns guns
IN THE FACE
and kills him. Doesn't do the spot check just bc we wear the same helmet and bag.

[stone harbor]

petition to have a decoration "player" neon light on top of the helmet

[scarlet pier]

I dont have any Tarkov videos on my channel

[steel heath]

absolute CLOWN SHOW I tell you

[scarlet pier]

must be a different actor lol

[hollow prawn]

Same name. My bad bro

[steel heath]

I stole one of the third guy's markers off his corpse and used it to complete the quest. kthxbai.

[scarlet pier]

cant be, my channel is exactly my discord name

[quartz thicket]

GZ down, lets see how far I can get before servers go down

[steel heath]

we are quite a motely crew I tell you
a portuguese, 3 americans, an italian, a brit, and a couple of other side characters including a canadian and a dutchman

[steel heath]

godspeed gamer

[quartz thicket]

Fucking 3 pmcs just camping the transit

[hard cloud]

think i was in an arena game with them earlyer

[steel heath]

Incorrect, none of us play PvP or Arena

[scarlet pier]

WTF I spawned next to a scav and it immediately started to shoot me

[quartz thicket]

I do. unless I'm not part of us

[stone harbor]

dont wanna de-escalate or anything, but even my 8 years friends still mistook me for a random A.I PMC just because "I didn't lower my Altyn visor down"

the frick chu mean boi???

[hard cloud]

might be a similar name then IDK 🤷‍♀️

[steel heath]

Thing is we all have had at least one friendly fire incident

My case was at the tail end of an interchange run, I accidentally shot the second, employed american (who goes by Box.)

[quartz thicket]

Idk how these bois cant tell the difference between AI and a real PMC walking

[steel heath]

He was wearing a Ronin Respirator.

And probably had his gunlight on too.

[stone harbor]

in a week, I got friendly fired by each of my 4 friends like 1~2 times, If I have a cent for every bullet I ate and die/almost die, I would have at least a dollar, which isnt a lot but I died, wasting my game time :(((((

[steel heath]

got a .300 blk ap to the face

[steel heath]

we clown on the italian, akagi, for shooting the 1st american, hyperion, while he was looting, on a reflex

[stone harbor]

human's babbled me quite alot sometimes

[steel heath]

He's like 30. We make fun of him for it.

[lone forge]

Yo gamers, need some advice: If you were hunting cultists, where would you do it?
Night factory or night customs?
(and a way to know that cultist has spwan is that there are no scavs right or no? )

[quiet osprey]

Wearing a raid backpack and a tan ulach (since bots don't care about visibility) atleast helps the guys i play with to recognize me

[stone harbor]

sounds like a nice friends to have a raid together lmaooo

[stone harbor]

night factory is a thing? never saw them

[scarlet pier]

wtf is this raid lmao

[steel heath]

sippers Night customs. If fortress is empty and they're only ever by fortress on customs you can dip out at flare extract and cycle the raid eazy

[lone forge]

idk man im just looking at the wiki

[steel heath]

The spawns on woods are 30% but... it's woods. Yuck.

[quartz thicket]

You'll practically never seen cultists in factory, go customs

[stone harbor]

go for night custom, go scout from crackhouse to fortress to old gas and then flare extract cycle

[lone forge]

cheers, so you would recommend night customs fortress yeah?
p.s wtf is "sippers"?

[quartz thicket]

fortress is empty (if reshala and the goons haven't spawned) lmao

[lone forge]

alright cheers gamers ty for information

[steel heath]

also
fortress is ofc a reshala spawn so bear that in mind

[steel heath]

me sipping my drink before answering.

[stone harbor]

she sipping tea while explaining

[lone forge]

i see.

[steel heath]

I have many sip emotes.

[quiet osprey]

(if i had to guess)

[steel heath]

I have a lot of these.

[quiet osprey]

[hard cloud]

my fav was when me and my sister (my normal duo) were clearing WTP she needed the rouge kills and i need to mark shit, was also doing punisher P4 and grinding some boltie skill. she was gettin lit up by Bulding 3's guy and ran back thru the crack in the wall as i lined up my shot to building 2's GL guy, safe to say her altyn didnt save her from .338 lapua AP XD

[steel heath]

wtp

[hard cloud]

??

[stone harbor]

I had the same dilema as well

[steel heath]

I hate water treatment plant it's awful

[stone harbor]

but my altyn ate it and somehow bounce???

[hard cloud]

i might have the clip somewhere XD

[steel heath]

also if you think lightkeeper unlock is bad already

uhhh

[stone harbor]

the only thing that is not awful is the lab?

it's super fun in there lel

[quiet osprey]

Why even bring magnum ammo if m80 can do the same thing for the rogues

[steel heath]

#screenshots message only now do I realize you're on this step

but I got really lucky and managed to get the transmitter and flash drive in one step each

[hard cloud]

IIRC higher pen/faster bullet travel speed = higher riccocet chance (dont quote me)

[steel heath]

we met just before the quarantine

brothers bonded over gacha games and other bs

[hard cloud]

i prefer this to running labs XD

[steel heath]

Labs is peak fym

[quiet osprey]

Labs peak til you found the exclusives, then its just quest slog

[stone harbor]

damn, same as my current gaming buddies

[quartz thicket]

labyr is peak

[hard cloud]

nope (im just salty coz it to me 30 raids to find the MCC but i found my gpsa when i did tour XD)

[stone harbor]

when the world came to shiet, only gaming buddies are there

[quiet osprey]

Now this i can vibe with

[steel heath]

#screenshots message well, week before last I was snowed in because of fern so...

I needed 40btc and I got electronik his 40 btc

[quartz thicket]

fuck electonik

[hollow prawn]

Head, jaw'd by a scav with a pistol across the resort back garden lol

[quartz thicket]

all my homies hate electric dic

[steel heath]

Literally all I did over like 4 days after starting the btc farm 4 upgrade was a few scav runs

[quiet osprey]

Got those by just doing the trades from mechanic since money wasn't a concern

[steel heath]

and solo labs

[quiet osprey]

Batya gave enough time

[steel heath]

and thing is on one of the runs I found a black card IN black office

Man, black isn't even worth it for money now given how bitcoin is tanking

we used to be

ffs

[steel heath]

labyrs cranks my blood pressure

[hard cloud]

i found black on a scav - opened new black got black off desk. cried coz no flee (hardcore run untill i get kappa)

[steel heath]

"kill both the brain damage brothers only then can you like do the raid" yeah no thank you

[quartz thicket]

took me 3 labyr runs to get over that

[quiet osprey]

2 Bosses and like 4 "Raiders"

[quartz thicket]

6 bullets to the face of each n gg

[quiet osprey]

Nothing M61/M80A1 can't handle

[steel heath]

one of the bosses is killa.

also you have to go to shoreline for it.

[hard cloud]

shagilla = ez
killa aimbot 180 ppbs hose

[steel heath]

ugh, shoreline. Also Labs is fun to exist in. it's sleek and modern
labrys is a dingy dungeon that smells of piss and whatever tagilla shoots up when he's not being the slasher movie villain

[quiet osprey]

Abuse how they run around corners/curves and the bullets will make short work of their protection

Hence it should be 7.62 ammo, shreds armor hp

[quartz thicket]

Streets down

[jovial cobalt]

until he uses the curve to speedhack and immediately explode you with his sledgehammer

idk if that still happens tho

[hard cloud]

i can kill them easy XD just killa loves to insta 180 and 1 tap my brain box thru me altyn XD

[quiet osprey]

In the 12 runs (3 related to completing the questline) they didn't once

[copper tangle]

Model 1 for 2.75 mill, real one if yall want it

[steel heath]

thing is I went in the first time with an x-17 full of m993. you don't kill tagilla 2.0 with big boolet, you kill him with sustained fire.

[jovial cobalt]

#videos message

[scarlet pier]

thankfully lighthouse had the rogues I needed, so 2 tasks done, 5 left for Kappa

[quiet osprey]

993 won't pen his helmet, so not worth running over a cheaper bullet tbh

[hard cloud]

my first was a ppsh - i leggged every bastared in there (including my sister) coz she came sprinting to me and didnt comm XD

[quartz thicket]

i wish taggy was a 100% in interchange

[scarlet pier]

993 wont pen what?

[quartz thicket]

youre silly

[quiet osprey]

993 won't pen Shagillas tier 6 helmet

[quartz thicket]

yeah it does

[scarlet pier]

with 65 pen?

[marble bronze]

993 is 65 pen

[steel heath]

this is why I comm even if it's redundant. Last night Hyperion (american 1) said he almost shot me while I was coming around the corner towards the lobby elevator on labs cause I spooked him

[coral tree]

Servers going down soon?

[quiet osprey]

It didn't pen my tier 6 plate during Terminal, don't know what to tell you

[jovial cobalt]

like 7 min

[steel heath]

I think that same raid he legged me in the shotgun a second time and killed him.

[quartz thicket]

its literally got 65 pen bro what are you smokin

[quiet osprey]

It absolutely destroyed it, just not pen

[steel heath]

He is loath to ignore his intrusive thoughts while holding a 12ga full of magnum buck.

[scarlet pier]

you thinking 5.56 M995 maybe? (53 pen)

[quartz thicket]

shit 995 still does it
