[twilit heath]

ooo what does the shkrekdivision give you

[orchid crest]

scav gear and night vision

[nocturne gyro]

anyone got tips on levelling up fence fast beside scavving and doing car extract, need to get him to 4 for savior ending

[quartz thicket]

Theres a quest that gives you +1.0 but i forget which one

Otherwise you're on the fast path already, just keep going. I hunt pmcs when i scav

[nocturne gyro]

gotcha

[fleet loom]

just remember to give the pmcs time to actually kill a scav otherwise u get nothin

[quartz thicket]

I think its just a hit, could wait for the kill to be safe

[fleet loom]

i like to scav like im attempting marathon, transit as much as possible and just hope to god it doesnt crash because im psure itll eat the rep u made

lol 5 ssds gave me a yellow card. thank u so much cultists i really needed that

i hate evil watchman

[lunar ice]

Bouta hopefully escape tomorrow doing the savior ending

[quartz thicket]

Good luck

[lunar ice]

We will see how bad this ai is yall be talking about

[orchid raptor]

how easy is it to pen killa's helmet with 5.45 BP

[quartz thicket]

Probably less than 10 bullets. His face mask is 6 but the helmet is 5 iirc. If you hit below/above the visor shouldn't take much

[orchid raptor]

i thought the helmet was 4

gulp

[quartz thicket]

I might be thinking of labyr

[worthy otter]

It is 4

[orchid raptor]

oh thank god

does he fully magdump when he sees you

like what do i do

[quartz thicket]

yeap 4 i was just checking the wiki

[orchid raptor]

do i wait for him to finish magdumping the corner i was in then i peek?

[quartz thicket]

I usually wait for him to come around a corner, hit him a few times, peel back and find another corner to do the same at

[young frost]

yea if hes close enough or just wait for him to rush

[worthy otter]

I mean just spray at his neck and he will die

[orchid raptor]

i am not chris kyle

alright hopefully i dont get fucked up out here

[worthy otter]

Even with BT you can just spray him in the chest and he will die

[orchid raptor]

i hate killa

last time i encountered him in my pmc he cornered me in necrus

[quartz thicket]

last time i found him he was sitting behind a car in parking garage and I killed him before i realized it was him

[young frost]

yea tbh i dont see a reason to focus the head unless ur using something that can 1 shot. his crappy armor should crumble to bp rather quickly

[orchid raptor]

okay thank u

[young frost]

go forth and zero that goofy ceramic plate that only fits in like 3 rigs

[fleet loom]

but think of the xp youd get dumping his face...

[quartz thicket]

love me headshot xp

[fleet loom]

you might even get 1 xp point for assault weapons

didnt find cultists, am sad

[quartz thicket]

Craft em in the lavatory or hunt some bosses. parmesan and killa have a good chance to have em

[young frost]

think of the xp from repairing his armor

[fleet loom]

that to that to

[worthy otter]

1. no trading in this server
2. even if they dropped them, they would no longer be found in raid

[fleet loom]

i tend to forget about it or drop it for other loot tho

whoever asked that just go to the woods zb-014 or whatever

[young frost]

lvling armor repair is brutal tho

[fleet loom]

its basically guaranteed to spawn there

[languid laurel]

Ama hit rashala on customs

[fleet loom]

it is but depending on the loot i could potentially buy even more repairable stuff from fence instead of taking the mask out

[young frost]

so trv

[orchid raptor]

RB-PKPM MARKED KEY ON A SCAV

WTF

[fleet loom]

peak

[orchid raptor]

is that a good key??

[fleet loom]

that keys goin up rn i think

[distant obsidian]

I feel like I am reading 4 different convos people are having with them selves

[young frost]

but i like hauling out his junk as a trophy to repair and then unceremoniously dump on ragman

[fleet loom]

its ok not the greatest. def the weak one of the 3 reserves imo

[orchid raptor]

i havent gotten a fuckin marked key since i was like level 12

i got 314 on a factory scav

this is awesome i cant wait to hit that later

[young frost]

good luck bro dont get farted on by raiders down there

[left iris]

Anyone seen the goons recently?

[fleet loom]

the best things ive found in pkpm is tiagas, rebels, and a green or violet occasionally. the bitcoin spawn in there seems super rare. only hit it once out of my 18 ish pulls so far

id reccomend taking a pkpts key with you to also hit while down in the bunker cuz some pretty good shit can spawn in there too

is there a chance u dont get bad side effects from stims? this mule didnt give me -0.1 health regen

[scarlet pier]

I took them out 2hrs ago on shoreline... might have rotated already. before it was customs, so either woods or lighthouse

[nocturne gyro]

accidently shot BTR while shooting pmcs, do I lose BTR rep for this?

[jaunty stream]

Shoreline

[distant obsidian]

Naptime? Ok, see you in 8 hours or so

[jaunty stream]

They've been there for hours, probs moving soon

[left iris]

Damn, just did 14 raids in a row on shoreline without seeing them, less that 1% chance of that happening assuming 30% spawn rate

[spiral pecan]

No but he’ll be pissed off at you for the duration of the raid

[orchid raptor]

i just realized

ive missed like

3 posters that are worth a million roubles

the flea is a strange place

[fleet loom]

never really considered posters being worth jack

[jaunty stream]

Tagilla + killa poster is normally anywhere from 5-8 Mil

[onyx depot]

whaaa?!

[fleet loom]

going back to labrynth. ive been having some shit corpse room loot tbh

[jaunty stream]

What?

[lunar ice]

can i just keep making the terminal cards

[jaunty stream]

yes

[onyx depot]

that poster so expensive!

[jaunty stream]

Yeh ik

It's a W Poster

[onyx depot]

best poster they've made

[jaunty stream]

We need more boss posters

[wicked crow]

kill all of glucose guards but then he randomly dies to something else

pain

almost as annoying as trying to find scavs under the bunkers

[twilit heath]

glucose lmao

[spark wave]

hes a sweet guy

[lethal garnet]

he’s a glucose guy

[onyx depot]

He's my honey bunch sugar plum :3

[orchid raptor]

what trader should i prioritize levelling

[jovial cobalt]

lightkeeper

[lethal garnet]

😭

[fleet loom]

vengeful killa just hit the meanest 360 noscope on my ass

[lethal garnet]

the progress naturally, just always check them to make sure if you’ve met level and rep requirements and js need money. if they js need money buy and sell stuff to them

[spark wave]

EpsteinLightkeeper island is fun to work towards

[twilit heath]

yes

[fleet loom]

Shoutout all my folk from little saint james

[lethal garnet]

where

[wicked crow]

man i hate these quests where its like kill 10 scavs in this tiny space

they never show up

i've gone under the bunker multiple times and no one is there but i need 10 kills??

[spark wave]

fill a bag of random shit and drop it on the floor as bait

used to work reasonably well

[wicked crow]

maybe idk

[rich grove]

i think the streets bosses spoiled me

[spark wave]

they go to look at bodies etc as well so if you kill a pmc in the right area just wait and watch the body

[rich grove]

i ran into glukhar by accident and his loot is devastatingly ass

[spark wave]

hes alright when him + guards spawn with decent ammo

[rich grove]

thats the thing

[spark wave]

like i wont say no to 80 m993

[rich grove]

they do like 5% of the time

usually they spawn with t45 or bcp fmj

[spark wave]

such is rng at the end of the day

[rich grove]

maybe im just spoiled from the streets bosses:D

[spark wave]

maybe a bit

[rich grove]

cuz both of them have pretty good stuff more often than not

[orchid raptor]

wtf

when did i get 110 energy

[jaunty stream]

Idk all of them?

[spark wave]

i think u get the extra ten from lvl 3 rest space

[rich grove]

kollontay spawns iwth surprisingly good things very often

i knew about kaban but him i didn't rly expect

[wicked crow]

ugh i gotta get the stupid gun from one of those guys for gunsmith 25

[jaunty stream]

Kabans gun

[wicked crow]

yea

[rich grove]

i love that gun

[jaunty stream]

Kaban is easy

[rich grove]

it sucks but its super fun

he is yea

only annoying if u dont have big mag and basmach or gus have an altyn

thats the only resistance u get from him

[jaunty stream]

Big mag? I just run with 20 or 30 rounders, It's not hard just gotta not panic

[rich grove]

big mag if u use the 5.45 5.56 guns

7.62 ye

i like farming him for ammo

[jaunty stream]

Not even, I'll run 3 30 mags on the m4 with red or black tip

[rich grove]

anything works ye

him and kollontay are super worth for xp and ammo sometimes armor and altyns

[wicked crow]

oh ffs

[jaunty stream]

Altyns are a rarity since you can buy them but eh solid xp I guess

[wicked crow]

i kill gluhar but then his fucking guards who are nowhere to be found are instantly on my ass

[rich grove]

i cant buy them yet so having them is nice

[wicked crow]

how are they running that fast they were in the middle of the garage and then on the ramp in like 5 seconds

[rich grove]

u get them at times but really its the ammo, lots of 5.45 BP 7.62 BP or 7n40 stuff like that i like AKs so its nice to have

i wish you could put the 308 adapter on the ak 103

[jaunty stream]

Rough

[rich grove]

i have the lvl just cant seem to get pmcs over 100m

they are either hiding somewhere or just dont move at all

[flint jewel]

does anybody enjoy when that one RUAF soldier with the PKP bulldozes 20 black div guys for you

this ruaf soldier followed me to bd keycard and almost ran down the whole room

[nova plank]

He was the mc you are just the side character

[jaunty stream]

Haven't even touched calibration and I've got 5. I don't even use them

[lunar frost]

these damn ai I stg

[rich grove]

good job

[flint jewel]

thats mega true cuz a m993 round went right through my head when i pushed into bd keycard room :C

[orchid raptor]

server connection lost

gulp

[jaunty stream]

Goons are on woods maybe? Someone wanna be a lamb?

[orchid raptor]

wtf is this bruh its not even letting me reconnect to the main menu

[wicked crow]

lighthouse

oh nvm pve is woods

[wicked crow]

y'all ever found guards not wearing their pants?

i got pushed by gluhar but his guards didn't have blue pants

[orchid raptor]

are you sure youre playing tarkov?

👀

[wicked crow]

guards gone wild

[lavish plover]

any terminal enjoyers ?

[wicked crow]

im 14 bitcoins off bro

😭

[lavish plover]

spank that black barter , fence gives you 2 for doing his quests

some you get from mechanic 25

i mean gunsmith

the only thing im missing is the fence quest and the craft for the keycard

[jovial cobalt]

who up encoding their DSPT

[earnest gale]

What’s the expexted loot value out the marked RB VO ?

[uneven vapor]

7

[jovial cobalt]

or 6

[earnest gale]

Mill?

[uneven vapor]

Nope. Just 7

Marked rooms are either 3 roubles or 10m theres no inbetween

[earnest gale]

Yeah but one run at 10m pays for the key

[jovial cobalt]

worth it to open them and check if you find one, but not worth it to buy it from flea expecting to make profit i believe

tarkov loot is just gambling simulator

[onyx depot]

that 314 has been garbage lately

[lavish plover]

in 314 your lucky if you get one cat statue and a gun

[lunar ice]

I got a dog tag case a lil bit again when I went in there cause I haven’t inawhile

That was the best thing I’ve seen in there in quite some time

[nova plank]

Do AI pmc listen to sound? Like if you flank or rotate they will pre aim you from the direction you coming from?

[jovial cobalt]

they will react to sound but idk about that effectively

like they will become alerted by sprinting or voicelining

[nova plank]

Yeah and AI pmc speak way too much even when they solo

They gotta up the difficulty abit

[onyx depot]

this rain... i cannot fight in a rain forest!

[orchid raptor]

wtf 53 hours for library?

it cannot be that good

[tidal egret]

I swear PMCs have better loot than keycard rooms on labs

[hasty dagger]

lmao

[tidal egret]

2 bitcoin and 1 intel sitting in his backpack

[hasty dagger]

He yoinked loot from the double black safe

[stone goblet]

classic looting through walls

[onyx depot]

Why is this still a thing?

[stone goblet]

because yes

[onyx depot]

i'll take the looting through walls over the rain any day!

[compact folio]

guys, how to get mechanic 2

literaly dont want to go into woods

i think he had woods task

[stone goblet]

tasks

[orchid raptor]

gunsmith

[tidal egret]

Makes sense considering the only thing in the safe was cardinal and a roller

[worthy otter]

That moment when PMCs on Reserve just loot marked rooms for you

[lunar ice]

Wait what

Never seen that

[worthy otter]

You haven’t looked then

They do it all the time

Like if there are PMCs at the marked rooms they’re gonna have something on them from inside there

[lunar ice]

Hmm interesting probably never noticed

[bright sand]

i always see scavs with two guns as well

[lunar ice]

I find pmcs at VO all the time

[nova plank]

They can take dead pmc guns

[bright sand]

nopes. guns with full durability

[nova plank]

Could also from normal box or weapon stand

I find scavs having it even in maps without marked room

[lavish plover]

time gates hurt

big hurty

i thought i could escape this week

[modern whale]

terminal is nearly unplayable with how laggy it is

[lunar ice]

Oh boi me and my friend r gonna try and escape tomorrow that’s great to hear

We just gotta wait for his keycard

[modern whale]

dang

[lunar ice]

We finally finished all the btr stuff today

[torpid notch]

nice

I guess I didnt do all of the btr quest lol

[hasty dagger]

Usually when they spawn there, the room next to the double black, they tend to loot the safe

[vale atlas]

I thought they fixed the ai looting through walls lol

[uneven vapor]

Hello gamers

[wicked crow]

god partizan is so fucking lame

[uneven vapor]

I swear that guy is so fake 99% of the time

[wicked crow]

i light him up and he disappears so i go to find him and kill him and then he's hiding behind a fucking tripwire and im blocked

[uneven vapor]

And then that 1% he goes Rambo

[wicked crow]

dude spawns 100% of the time on customs for me for some reason but god forbid the goons spawns or a pmc spawns near dorms

[hasty dagger]

Like they “fixed” lag and audio which cut off right after the lag.. and then another lag, lmao

[compact folio]

guys, why do i have an error popping up when trying to lauch the game?

error connecting to servers, error:213

[vale atlas]

Yeah i just thought that one already "Took" lol, i hadn't found any ai with safe loot since the update and i basically only played labs

[thin viper]

Servers are funky for me rn too

[jaunty stream]

Additional raid exp and practical skill levelling? it's a massive buff

[wicked crow]

trying out spear for the first time

👀

[nova plank]

Glad I’m not the only one thought my acc was compromised lol

Can’t even open launcher

[compact folio]

fr

[mental halo]

i came gere wondering if i was the only one who couldnt get on the game but thats been answered

[jaunty stream]

I guess it's the NA People?

[nova plank]

Im in asia

[boreal gulch]

The servers slackin man

[nova plank]

Japan server

[compact folio]

eu

[neat spoke]

Servers down?

EU?

[boreal gulch]

I need to get mah killa kills

[jaunty stream]

Nah I'm doing fine on eu

[woeful obsidian]

Anyone else getting error 213?

[neat spoke]

Yep

[boreal gulch]

clearly

[compact folio]

try going out of the game and coming back in

[neat spoke]

No, i got booted out of the launcher. Wont let me login

[meager coyote]

What map and spots do you guys like for insomnia?

[jaunty stream]

I'm in a raid. I'm good

[wicked crow]

interchange

the spawns are close and pretty predictable

and the mall is the same anyway

[boreal gulch]

50 billion scav army in interchange

[nova plank]

Woods

[wicked crow]

interchange reliably seems to have like 4+ pmc's on it though

really hard finding them on bigger maps

[white sleet]

works again

[tiny axle]

Same issue, I guess servers are down rn. I was going for day 3 of only local customs/shorelines raids with NO GOON SPAWNS. Hopefully next time I get on they will spawn that would be dope.

[wicked crow]

severs are fine

[bright sand]

i am still in though. havent got kicked out

[wicked crow]

i need two more pmc kills on dorms

[jaunty stream]

They've been on shoreline and customs all morning

[wicked crow]

they're on woods rn

[meager coyote]

It seems I will be living on there for the foreseeable future

[wicked crow]

just push the power plant and emercom

they're always around those spots

[livid willow]

whats the update about

[tiny axle]

Damn I've been slacking. I don't usually do woods I'll check there next too.

[livid willow]

no patch notes

[tribal cloak]

there was an update?

can't see it on my downloads

[livid willow]

idk, it wont let me launch game then i restarted launcher and then it said outdated

so i had to update but no patch notes or anything

[jaunty stream]

[tiny axle]

My fault entirely, I'll keep at it I usually get some good loot each raid I don't feel like I'm wasting my time

[wicked crow]

right now im trying to do the dumb stuff first

Cause pretty much the only stuff i got left is killing the goons and killing kaban for his gun

[jaunty stream]

Goons are a little boring after a while

[ashen anchor]

i cant find 5 pmcs at dorms man... how rare are these things

[wicked crow]

rare

it's taken me like 10 raids to find two

just keep rushing and get lucky i guess

[ashen anchor]

i found 1 on my first raid and now im at 9 down with no pmcs

I got baited at first thinking it might not be as bad

[wicked crow]

it is buns

[ashen anchor]

these guys at BSG are too lazy to reword some quests for pve its so dumb

[jaunty stream]

[earnest gale]

The rusted bloody key has been so trash to me

[jaunty stream]

I've got 2 sitting in stash

I should use them tbh

[wicked crow]

damn completely forgot about insomnia

might as well do it at the same time as this dorms quest

maybe find some cultists while im at it

[tiny axle]

I find a lot of dead PMCs at dorms, they can't handle the CQB with scavs I suppose

[vale atlas]

I think PMC ai is dumbed down when we're not around lol

Scavs always fucking up PMC's

[wicked crow]

ask tagilla and killa

[ashen anchor]

yaaaay i found 1 more

averaging 1 per 5 raids

[silk hull]

lol

you got that right

[ashen anchor]

bro why only spawn 1 ffs just give me a pack of 3

[jaunty stream]

3 Wuh?

[worthy otter]

You can have 3 but 2 died to scavs take it or leave it

[ashen anchor]

you are so mean 😂

[trim kettle]

Nikita is russian kojima btw

[wicked crow]

but yeah that's like their whole lore

idk why that needs to be deleted but go off

[jaunty stream]

discord tos lol

[worthy otter]

Probably something to do with the server rules

[wicked crow]

it's game lore 😭

[worthy otter]

No, it’s definitely not

[wicked crow]

what

[worthy otter]

Don’t talk about real world drugs

Thanks

[jaunty stream]

^^

[wicked crow]

okay

[thorn token]

god fuck man, nikita could turn this game into a cod clone at this point and i wouldnt care if it meant the stuttering would get fixed

[vale atlas]

I think the fix there would be for you to go play cod instead

[thorn token]

at this point it's the only reason I die to pmcs

[vale atlas]

Dont make us suffer 😛

[jaunty stream]

Have too much fps to counter the stutters

[thorn token]

we're already suffering

[vale atlas]

Yes but i can still look at myself in the mirror after playing Tarkov.

You c an only get chokeslammed by glowing RGB Nikki minaj so many times before you wonder whether its all worth it

[thorn token]

brother i can only get the ai equivalent of lag switching in tarkov so many times either

[jaunty stream]

a what now?

[thorn token]

the stutters

my game literally freezes in place for a few moments

[jaunty stream]

Think you should get that checked out

[thorn token]

i just need to visit lk without getting stutter stepped by a squad of bears forming a firing line

[vale atlas]

is the whole game stuttering for you or do you just mean the new janky ai movement?

[earnest gale]

what's the most beautiful gun you ever built ?

[vale atlas]

Had AI on labs yesterday, i put the crosshair over his head, he... flickered into prone, and then back up, and was then a foot to the left moving in that direction lol

[peak coral]

is evasion armband in any of the scav case loot tables

[thorn token]

the game stutters every time frames spike

so things like combat usually cause massive stutters at the beginning of the fight

eventually they calm down and I can fight it normally, but the beginning of a fight or the beginning of a raid is always the worse

also, zryachiy followers are assholes, I wasnt even that close to this dude and he just got up and domed me

nothing I can do about it either because I dont want to lose access

[hazy moss]

is 338 lapua FMJ more consistent than AP?

[vale atlas]

What system are you running this on? is it stuttering that badly?

[thorn token]

my pc isn't high end anymore, but i'm still running a 3070

[vale atlas]

just unoptimized tarkov things then lol

[thorn token]

like i should not be having these issues, and tarkov is the only game i have them on

[vale atlas]

Yeah i feel your pain

I dont suppose you're on a 12 or 13 series intel are you?

[thorn token]

amd cpu

[vale atlas]

not the e core thing then

[thorn token]

the cpu is a little older, ryzen 5 3600

[vale atlas]

you done all the little tweaks, big ol pagefile etc?

[thorn token]

i've got plenty of ram too

[final pawn]

its okay my game still crashes randomly if I dont restart every few raids and I have a ryzen 7 7800x3d and an rtx5080 with 64gb ram

its not an us problem

[thorn token]

the most i've done is the graphics and postfx settings on tarkov

[vale atlas]

I've only just stopped crashing after every 4 raids lol, but performance still degrades past it

[thorn token]

and the occasional cache clearing

[final pawn]

I play with everything low including low res streets lol

[vale atlas]

Did you check to make sure that was the best way for you specifically? Sometimes that can make it worse

[final pawn]

It made my fps better with the snow but maybe I’ll change it now

[vale atlas]

yeah worth checking, but if it did make it better then its probably not causing you much harm lol

[final pawn]

My only caveat is that I play in 4K

[vale atlas]

Its just the cpu/gpu bottleneck thing

I'm on a 3080ti, when it came out all the 4k stuff was still lucky to hit 60fps

I stick with 2k 😛

I dont think i can go back to 1080 ever again

[final pawn]

Maybe I’ll downscale to 1080p one day for fun

[vale atlas]

i tried it briefly to test fps lol....

[final pawn]

My monitor is native 4K but I have a button on it that flips to 1080

[vale atlas]

it was painful

everything all blurry and pixelly

made me feel like i was playing an xbox 360 game lol

[final pawn]

Haha

Yeah I can imagine it would be rough if your monitor is native 2k

[vale atlas]

it wouldn't have been all that bad but at the same time i was trying to snipe from that woods rock lol

nightmare

[final pawn]

Man I don’t know what I’m gonna do once I escape and get kappa

[vale atlas]

Finally play the game

I was thinking about helping out randoms at that point but with tarkov that will just be feeding assholes my gear

[final pawn]

I’m at the point where I’ll probably have both done by next week and with no prestige I just might have to go play pvp now that I know all the maps and quests

[vale atlas]

The horror

Now, this is a radical approach but

You know that game library full of stuff you never got around to?

Could be an opportunity 😉

[final pawn]

Hahaha

True I could just put the game down till prestige is added

[vale atlas]

Yeah breaks are good

I took a huge one between pvp and pve being released

[celest nexus]

Why do they never state what they change in technical updates or am I just looking in the wrong places

[vale atlas]

and i dont hate tarkov at all right now

[final pawn]

Right? They don’t lol

[worthy otter]

Technical updates are not content patches

[vale atlas]

Its never the guys who did the work that write the patchnotes. Mr Patchnote guy is just trying to pump out his job

[final pawn]

But it’s okay because in Q1 (halfway over btw) we are getting magazine dropping noises LIVE and I for one am so excited

[celest nexus]

I expected much, hopefully this does mean I can queue into raids faster😼

[vale atlas]

"Fixed some stuff ¬ Dont ask me what, they said QoL"

they're generally a high spawn rate
reshala 75% tagilla 50% (night factory 75%) sanitar 75% etc

but goons is like ~30% more or less depending on the map they're rotated to

[silk hull]

wait bosses drop rbk

[celest nexus]

The marked key?

[silk hull]

rusted bloody key

[celest nexus]

None

You find it in the klimov mall on streets behind the counter under the escalators (under kollontays spawn)

It has two spawns on the wall behind the register

[silk hull]

no i just got one off glukar

[celest nexus]

Fr???

[burnt panther]

You can find it on scav pockets and from scav box too

[silk hull]

yes for real

[celest nexus]

I’ve never gotten it off of any boss, only marked keys off of the priest

[silk hull]

thats what i was saying too

lets go see what this crappy key can give me lol

[compact folio]

does someone also have lucky days at cultist circle? last friday i got black keycard, today i got labs arsenal key + military filter and some other key but other days i get kinda sh*t

[burnt panther]

Basically

I just keep doing the circle

Gotten plenty of abandoned factory marked keys from it

[wintry cobalt]

i just did a scav raid and i got swarmed and killed by ai scavs??

i literally did nothing this raid lmao?

[burnt panther]

Where did you go?

[hazy moss]

i love the eternal rain of hearing loss and despair

[wintry cobalt]

factory

[hazy moss]

whats your scav rep

[wintry cobalt]

i literally looted a dead pmc i found and then 6 scavs ran up to me and gunned me down

[wintry cobalt]

3.7 or smt

[burnt panther]

If Tagilla is there and you are under 6.0 Rep he'll command them to murder you

[hazy moss]

no clue then

[wintry cobalt]

well thats silly!

[hazy moss]

btr driver got me waiting again bro 💔

[burnt panther]

Yeah other bosses or guards give you a warning by flipping you off but if you dont leave they will kill you as well

[hazy moss]

killa also just kills you without warning iirc

[burnt panther]

Oh yeah forgot about him

[jaunty stream]

Well I got 2 marked keys from 1 rusted sooo

[silk hull]

i got 1 key lol

and that was rb-rlsa

[jaunty stream]

Tempted to run my other 2 rusted keys

[wintry cobalt]

ooh i just remembered i found a pointy guy figurine

one rusted bloody key for me!

[old stag]

Do you know, why my raid time on woods is lowered to 10 minutes from 35 after I enter?

Some update incoming, or what is happening?

[cosmic patrol]

#eft-announcements

[old stag]

Thank you 🙂

[cosmic patrol]

Np

[hazy moss]

can BTR driver stop fucking edging me and just pull up

[cosmic patrol]

He isnt guaranteed.

[hazy moss]

no shit

3 fucking raids in a row

[cosmic patrol]

When you need X, you don't get X. You only get Y

and when u need Y you don't get it

[hazy moss]

i just wanna get protect the sky man 💔

i normally just sit until 19m on streets at construction site

he normally pulls up between 35-30 and 27-21

[cosmic patrol]

I just go to woods if I ever want to talk to BTR

[hazy moss]

honestly might just switch to woods atp and risk missing it

im being constantly edged by bro

[onyx depot]

Can the beltfed stuff jam?

[burnt panther]

Not that I know of

[onyx depot]

maybe that's worth taking to Kollontay then

[jovial cobalt]

is high btr driver rep and fence rep required for debtor ending or naw

[burnt panther]

I have lied they can in fact jam

[cosmic patrol]

Debtor imo no. I know Savior wants BTR 4

[silk hull]

there a website for that

[onyx depot]

you insolent swine! I shall have your head for this!!

[jovial cobalt]

mr and mrs souer

[burnt panther]

Ok so kinda both PKP and PKM can jam M60 cannot

[onyx depot]

M60 it is then :3 fanks meow

[jovial cobalt]

i think I need 40btc but the reps i dont need and i can deal with that

[cosmic patrol]

Could be, unsure. Havent checked the prerequisites in a while

[silk hull]

savior want 4 btr 5 fence

[jovial cobalt]

luckily i just reset after escaping as savior so i dont have to do it again lol

[hazy moss]

@jovial cobalt check #screenshots

[clever thunder]

The fence and btr reps don't matter at all for debtor. You do nothing with either for the ending.

[jovial cobalt]

thx yal

not baaaad the only dumb shit i will have to deal with is going to LK to get a single access card every single time i want to attempt terminal

or maybe getting the rest of the marked keys i need since i have like no money

[clever thunder]

Better than a 5 hr wait + cost for the card for savior imo

[jovial cobalt]

may be yeahh

at a certain point i was just spamming the card crafts so i had a bunch of them stocked

[hazy moss]

im so close to lightkeeper but ive gotta finish up chumming to get it

[hazy moss]

how much is each savior card?

[jovial cobalt]

i gave the case to prapor to get lk and i just finally decoded my dspt

[jovial cobalt]

like 400k for the blank rfid card and a 5 hour craft

[hazy moss]

thats pretty cheap

literally just the cost of a well built M4/AK

[jovial cobalt]

im so excited to do lightkeepers side quest line too to unlock his services

so i can have zryachiy sniper support against ai pmcs

[hazy moss]

im so close to getting network provider but im too lazy to finish chumming

BTR driver is yet again edging me, but this time on woods

[marsh belfry]

am i missing something? loaded into customs and only got 13 minutes on the clock 💀

[compact folio]

update, they reduced to 10mins rn

what map's your go to for PC blocks?

ima start working on the bitcoin farm

[compact folio]

labs prob

[hazy moss]

GZ

[orchid raptor]

i need PSUs

[hazy moss]

GZ/Labs for sure

ive pulled 6 gpus outta labs b4 and ive seen 4 PSUs per raid out of GZ

[bright sand]

ground zero if you want a quick run in and out

[orchid raptor]

thank u

thank u chuds

off topic

i swear i might be able to finish the punisher questline and get epsilon before i reach level 35 and get the barter items for beta

[subtle valve]

Labs, 2-3 GPUs per raid, 3-4 RAM per raid etc...
I'm not collecting PSUs but usually I see 3-4

[neat spoke]

Whats theeasiest way to hunt Zirachyi as a solo?

[subtle valve]

For snowball?

[neat spoke]

No, i need to get to LK for the ticket thing?

For Story?

[subtle valve]

If you kill Zriarchy you cannot talk to LK... You need to do the Mechanic -> LK quests

[sturdy grove]

i finished reconnasinance and energy crisis in one raid
at the water treatment plant was EMPTY like the cloudy rainy night
no Rogues just one tiny scav

[neat spoke]

Im trying to find the soliders that were at lighthouse, i gave the case to prapor. Its the Mr Kerman one?

If i cross the bridge wont Zirachyi kill me?

[sturdy grove]

if you get close to the entrance and you attempt to shoot him or his guars zirachyi WILL kill you

[subtle valve]

You mean Batya? You need to give to LK the 5 items related to Batya squad, but for that you need the quest chain that gives you the access to LK island, killing Zriarchy is not the way

[neat spoke]

No. The Ticket

[subtle valve]

Which path did you choose? I am not aware of the ticket path for prapor route

[stone goblet]

you dont have to cross the bridge for that

its on the hills near the beach

but in order to get the armoured case back from lightkeeper AFTER this, you will have to do network provider part 1 onwards until you have lightkeeper unlocked

[neat spoke]

Thank you. I think thats where i got confused.

Wheres the camp?

[stone goblet]

in the hills near the beach

just up from the landing stage

near cargo x part 4 or whatever it is

[hazy moss]

beta is a scam

never go beta

theta or epsilon always

[dim ermine]

Hi, when will they release the ammo packs for sale on the Flea Market?

[hazy moss]

removed due to dupe glitch

[subtle valve]

Previously beta was just 6.5k USD from PissKeeper

[stone goblet]

not for a while if at all

[dim ermine]

thanks

[hazy moss]

it has now been 6 raids of no BTR, woods and streets

is he even real?

[subtle valve]

I bet 1M$ it's not BTR not spawning but you not finding him

[cosmic patrol]

@stone goblet goofy.

[subtle valve]

1M$ ingame ofc xD

[nocturne fractal]

wait at woods checkpoint

[hazy moss]

REJOICE HE PULLED UP THIS RAID

[stone goblet]

says you

[hazy moss]

dude ive been sitting there until 19 minutes on the clock

same on streets

[nocturne fractal]

rip

[hazy moss]

i dont move i just wait

[cosmic patrol]

I still want this as a sticker or something

[astral kindle]

Hey butch, tarkov basement guy posted lizard meme yesterday on twitter and was that your lizard?

[hazy moss]

depending on spawn on streets ill either sit at tram / collapsed crane or ill sit at usec checkpoint on woods

purely just to get his quests

can finally do protect the sky tho

[hazy moss]

so wheres my 1 mil dollars at?

i give him enough time to do 2 loops around the map on both maps and dont move, pretty sure hes just not spawning in for the past 6 raids

[orchid raptor]

ooo new survey

holy shit

2 armor repair kits

from the new survey

[pseudo kayak]

free 2 repair kits?

[orchid raptor]

yeah im not even kidding do the new survey

[hazy moss]

yea its 2 free ones, not FiR tho 💔

[astral kindle]

You can craft repair kits in lvl 3 workbench

[hazy moss]

i already have mine from the quest

[pseudo kayak]

free is free

[gray bay]

Alright just hit level 15 can we revert the flea market level caps, that shit is fucked

[gleaming pollen]

Anyone here wanting some free guns whos maybe new and need them? i build them but dont use them

if i can help someone with some guns id rather give them to them before i sell them

[mental locust]

is ammo pack removed again from flea?

[modern veldt]

maaan, ai grenades are such a fucking joke in this game

[bright sand]

yes

[mental locust]

saw that sad 🙁

[lusty vine]

ide take em

[hazy moss]

protect the sky done in 1 raid, now to do discombobulate

[gleaming pollen]

you promise you just dont sell them

[orchid raptor]

test drive part 3 is so fucking tedious i cant find any PMCs

[cosmic patrol]

The ammo pack selling thing was removed due to bug abuse - duping as mentioned here. #eft-chat message

[warped imp]

Got it don't walk up the Huge mountain in woods or you fall though it and die

[bright sand]

sniper rock?

[warped imp]

yep

[loud lance]

I did all mine on Reserve. Maybe 1-3 PMCs per raid

[jolly nimbus]

Woods is solid, as you’ll be spotting PMC’s from afar, in the open, and sometimes you’ll even manage to get up close to them.

[loud lance]

Didn't they added them back recently ?

[bright sand]

and then removed after a day or so

[orchid raptor]

COMPLETELY forgot to bring a surgery kit

ughhhh

[bright sand]

you will be fine

[loud lance]

Ok. And for the same reason ? If so that's wild

[bright sand]

nopes different reason

[loud lance]

Ok

[warped imp]

I do think that Snowball is just a Cruse I can't do

[cosmic patrol]

The current time it is removed, is due to the dupe. Before, I forgot what it was removed for. But I dont recall if it was the same before. Idk

[warped imp]

Some people found a way to take all but one round out of the packs and sell the "Unopened pack" as if it had all the rounds in it. If you opened it it would one be one round

[distant obsidian]

In game armor survey. Hm ...

[dull yoke]

Can we get a survey for loot and marked rooms?

[warped imp]

The Armor is a joke

[ionic moon]

any eu looking for a duo? im still newish and like to play somewhat tactical

[distant obsidian]

No, loot and marker rooms are w.e

[ionic moon]

expect changes in q1 2027

[distant obsidian]

And?

[dull yoke]

No? How come? I’d like to give my input on that.

[jovial cobalt]

lol

[distant obsidian]

Because loot in PvE is a joke lol

Everything is yours.

[dull yoke]

There is nothing!!!!

[distant obsidian]

Lol then you are not looking in the right spots

I don't even take a bag into raid and still make stupid money

[dull yoke]

Bro come on. I look just fine

[distant obsidian]

Clearly not

[jaunty stream]

[bright sand]

previously was the 1/XX in box ammo

[dull yoke]

This isn’t true?

[orchid raptor]

zabralo on a scav wtf

he mustve picked this up off a pmc there's no way

[distant obsidian]

Complaining about PvE loot is one of the most sad complaints I see

[cosmic patrol]

what, whos coping about the looty

[distant obsidian]

Man don't write a book. No one has time for that lol

[cosmic patrol]

I must argue

[jaunty stream]

hmm same tbh

[distant obsidian]

Skill issues like usual lol

[cosmic patrol]

I got skill issue.

[distant obsidian]

Yeah your way to good

[jaunty stream]

The wild drinker has appeared

[distant obsidian]

Save some skill for the rest of us

[orchid crest]

My my only pve complaint is I’d like more gear diversity on the pmcs

[jaunty stream]

True

[distant obsidian]

This

[orchid crest]

I’ve picked up the same gun probably 9000 times

Being dramatic ofc

[jaunty stream]

Give me more black colour gear

[cosmic patrol]

🙏 ❤️ no homo

[distant obsidian]

No 9000 time seems right Lol

[orchid crest]

lol

[distant obsidian]

[dull yoke]

There is no loot? The loot was better in Hardcore. The loot was better at the first month of 1.0. The marked rooms are better off not opening.

[distant obsidian]

There is loot

[jaunty stream]

Gotta find it now

[cosmic patrol]

bro, no shit a MARKED ROOM gives BETTER LOOT in HARDCORE

[distant obsidian]

If good players have 0 issues making millions in a raid without a bag, then it's clearly a you issue

[jaunty stream]

I can make millions in 1 labs raid using my feet

[dull yoke]

So once you hit level 40-48 you’ve kappa, and you exit. What else do you do?

Don’t harp on me when I enjoy the game but there’s no point on opening rooms.

[distant obsidian]

Yeah lol

[cosmic patrol]

... you wipe?

[jaunty stream]

Next ending...

[cosmic patrol]

you do every task in the game?

go for achievements?

[distant obsidian]

Do it again then lol

[cosmic patrol]

The fucking options are endless

[jaunty stream]

Snowball me this batman

[distant obsidian]

Create new goals for yourself

[hasty dagger]

Or.. stop playing this game, lmao

[distant obsidian]

Game doesn't need to hold your dick for you. Your a big boy.

[hasty dagger]

[distant obsidian]

Or stop yes

[jaunty stream]

Someone wanna hold mine?

Renolk, how's the drinking going?

[orchid raptor]

red flare from a barrel cache 👀 👀

calling it

7 ledxs

[jaunty stream]

Go onto BSG and claim the year of the horse bundle and enjoy like 3 red flares or something

[hard cloud]

then 1 tapped by shotgun scav

[orchid raptor]

already have

[jaunty stream]

Ah daym

[dull yoke]

I make plenty of money. I have Plenty….. this was a conversation about loot and marked rooms. Not money.

I’ve made 300 mil twice. So you flex the no bag makes no sense.

Sorry loot entertains me. Sorry I play the game repeatedly and would enjoy the marked rooms buffed again with how difficult it is to find the keys

[orchid raptor]

ALL mid 🥹

[jaunty stream]

Beat me to the punch

[hasty dagger]

[cosmic patrol]

Sobering up. Gonna drink again tonight

[jaunty stream]

I prefer loot being low and getting that 1/10 JUICED Room

[cosmic patrol]

actually fuck it, imma start drinking now. 4:15 PM

[jaunty stream]

That's dopamine

[jaunty stream]

[dull yoke]

lol when that happens take a picture. I’ll wait for the response, hopefully I don’t have to wait too long 😂

[jaunty stream]

I mean, I got a black and a blue in factory marked today

Cool no biggie

[orchid raptor]

reminds me, i should head to reserve and hit that pkptm key i got from a scav

too lazy i wanna do punisher 3

[light root]

will a craft prioritize non-fir items?

I wanna make ammo, but i have a daily to turn in gunpowder and only have 2/3

[orchid raptor]

is the test drive quest line worth doing, trying to find PMCs in customs with a gun that turns like a brick is so boring

[jaunty stream]

Instead of hitting these marked rooms I'd rather do something challenging

[hard cloud]

yes, you also get to choos the items it tuses before crafting

[jaunty stream]

You can select

[light root]

oh duh i'm an idiot

[jaunty stream]

All good

I'll take 2 free armor repair kits

[tardy nest]

Anyone have any luck finding Duck Pate? I have found only 2 this whole event

[jaunty stream]

[light root]

shooter born in heaven is 10x easier on pve

maybe 20x easier

[jaunty stream]

Buy them

[tardy nest]

I suppose that will work lol, thanks

[jaunty stream]

I found about 9 or so but I don't want to do the event so I've sold em

[little willow]

yall genuinely where do you find drills 💔

i've found bitcoins and whole ledxs before a single drill

[light root]

Exactly where you'd expect to find them

[jaunty stream]

Interchange or shoreline scav scrap yard

[light root]

ground zero underground, too

[jaunty stream]

Not worth it

[light root]

why everybody hate ground zero so much 🙁

you run it so fast lol

[little willow]

i like ground zero its ok

its my favorite place to spawn in as a scav

[jaunty stream]

Yehh fast but hardly no actual decent loot spots

atleast with interchange you have the possibility for gpus and other stuff you actually need to spawn in said tech stores

[little willow]

the only 'decent' loot spot imo (and still highly situational) would be the area with the pcs close to nakatani extract

i've found psus and cpu fans in there

handy

[light root]

i mean, and the 30 static bodies all over lol

[gusty whale]

I mean, almost every task is easier on pve

[gusty whale]

It's required to get Kappa container so I guess

[marble bronze]

I pull a GPU from there about every 3rd or 4th raid tbh

[gusty whale]

Gz is good early game, but mid game interchange is way more efficient, and nothing beats labs

But before you can consistently deal with killa, gz is pretty nice to run

[marble bronze]

GZ is mostly for fast PMC fights (rush the tunnel spawn) and the guaranteed car extract. But I still hit Capital Insight every time 😂

[little willow]

am i fried if i can do labs more than i can do interchange

[gusty whale]

I mean ai is easier in labs, its just getting a consistent supply of keycards that's the issue mid game

[little willow]

i have 4 black keycards

for some reason cultist circle decided to give me a black keycard instead of a drill

im genuinely stuck in workbench level 2 because of it

[gusty whale]

sounds about right

[hard cloud]

i have the opposite XD o have about 30 accsess cards yet get curb stomped by the raiders

[gusty whale]

The camps on interchange are fairly good for them

[little willow]

yea you dont really underestimate raiders

i havent done terminal but i dont want to think about black divers

[gusty whale]

Wish I had even one access card atm, doing hardcore pay through and tour is just stalled because of it

[little willow]

...i found a ledx in scav camp before a drill.

genuinely what is my luck

[gusty whale]

Tbf they're not that bad, except for one spot which I wasted like 15 minutes killing 4 of them because they kept throwing nades in the one entrance

[hard cloud]

oof. im been also doing a HC run and got Kappa the other day XD

[hazy moss]

the 600 rounds of CBJ in my stash is telling me to run an MCX

[little willow]

are they raider or pmc ai level

[gusty whale]

Nice, I just started 2 days ago or so haha

[gusty whale]

Much harder than both

[little willow]

oh nah

[sage saffron]

/code

[gusty whale]

But still ai so just hold a corner and you're good

[distant obsidian]

They would shit on goons in about .01 seconds.

[little willow]

oh nahhh

[gusty whale]

Pretty much

[little willow]

son 😭

[marble bronze]

I found 4 in two raids on Interchange at the Batya camp out back. Literally my first two raids of 1.0

[little willow]

i guess ill go scav there

maybe transit to customs if i dont find anything

which is what i did lol

[marble bronze]

Oh I haven't seen them there since 🤣

[gusty whale]

I'd say its kinda like fighting 4 killas at once back when they instantly headshot you if you peaked them for more than 0.5 seconds

[little willow]

im good bro im holding my corner

[gusty whale]

Wise choice

7.62 m61 is your best friend

[jaunty stream]

I would say they probs the hardest AI

[gusty whale]

Atm 100%, bosses/guards were worse when they had cracked aim before Christmas, but its close tbh

[jaunty stream]

Goons on release looool

I ain't wanna hear any complaining if you didn't fight goons on day 1

[gusty whale]

Ngl I miss pmcs from release, those things would beam from 200m, was fun

[light root]

i'd just play pvp if i wanted that experience

[orchid crest]

I liked the cracked pmcs sometimes I feel too powerful

[hazy moss]

YIPPIE!!!!!!!! DISCOMBOBULATE!

[gusty whale]

Ai is defo getting better slowly though, bit too easy imo still, but not boring atm

[jaunty stream]

I just wish PMCs have more diverse kit

[distant obsidian]

Or rogues day 1

Rogues day 1 would shit on BD

[jaunty stream]

Different guns, dura, mags, ammo, attachments, heals, n so forth

they all feel like clones

[gusty whale]

More diverse ai, some more passive, some more aggressive, less predictable overall

[distant obsidian]

Yep

[little willow]

that'd be cool

[jaunty stream]

Some AI Will run at you if you get hurt or shot tho

[hard cloud]

nikita should just buy the codeing expertiees/hire that guy from that one place that does the AI changes

[gusty whale]

I think the issue atm is it feels like ai is always all braindead or all insta 1 taps, wish they'd mix up ability. Idm being 1 tapped 1/10 raids, it's just when it's every other raid its annoying

[distant obsidian]

Naw

[jaunty stream]

You die??

[gusty whale]

Yes that one thing in the thing in the thing

[gusty whale]

Talking back when pmc ai was cracked

[jaunty stream]

oh

[hard cloud]

yea that thing with the doohicky

[marble bronze]

And different loots based on level would be nice. High level (40 and up) should have tier 5/6, good guns and ammo...

[distant obsidian]

Naw, we don't need anything like that in tarkov. AI improvements take massive performance hits. Small gains while keeping the game playable

[hazy moss]

how awesome would it be if they asked the community to submit kits for each different level

[distant obsidian]

Also no to leveled loot. This isn't an rpg

[jaunty stream]

And maybe higher then level 60

[light root]

they should just do more events

i like when cultsists are running around, or glukar and the boys are on random custons locations

[hard cloud]

i mostly menmt the ones that change up the gear/scale it as you level up

[gusty whale]

Defo in a braindead ai period atm xD running naked at tagilla with 5.45 PS and still winning 75% of the time atm xD

[distant obsidian]

Event take time and resources. A lot

Hence why even ice breaker is delayed

[jaunty stream]

They do lol, it's called Halloween

[distant obsidian]

That's leveled loot.

[light root]

wonder how many millions this game has made lol

[distant obsidian]

Enough to keep it running

[hard cloud]

bareley

[gusty whale]

Tbh as much as I like to shit on this game for the stuff it does bad, can't argue its still one of the best fps games out there

[marble bronze]

Fine, tier 5/6, drums full of m995 on a level 2.

[jaunty stream]

That's questionable

[light root]

the bad running game is a result of greed and laziness tbh

they've made MORE than enough to hire a larger team

[little willow]

sonnnn why did they lock mule on the flea behind level 40

[distant obsidian]

How do you know? It probably costs millions a year a long to keep it going

[jaunty stream]

Obdo 2 is 10x better then mule

[gusty whale]

Yeah, running game servers is actually surprisingly expensive, more so than most people think

[light root]

because tarkov famously uses very expensive and reliable servers lol

[gusty whale]

That said, they should still hire the people from the other thing who do the ai

[stone goblet]

looks like the experts are in chat

[distant obsidian]

And salaries? Say it's even 50k per employee. 50kx450 employees.

[light root]

they have 450 employees at bsg?

[distant obsidian]

Roughly yes

[jaunty stream]

I thought it was closer to 100

[stone goblet]

no they have several hundred

[cosmic patrol]

So... you

[light root]

they have an estimated 130 lol

[marble bronze]

Lvl 55+ should just be nothing but meme kits

[distant obsidian]

The whole team is around 400+

[gusty whale]

Yeah it's a helluva lot of cash tbh, I mean hypixel server on minecraft is something like $20k/month alone to run or something crazy for a few 1000 people playing

[distant obsidian]

Yeah

[light root]

nowhere can i find info saying bsg has 400 people hired

[jaunty stream]

You won't know

Only person who really knows are the higher ups

[light root]

and the reports they release give us a vague indicator, like we know the main core team is around 80

[gusty whale]

Gotta remember they're also working on other games too, not just tarkov

[light root]

didn't know BSG is UK based

[gusty whale]

Although how far along those games are is anyone's guess

[light root]

legally lol

[gusty whale]

Legally xD

[jaunty stream]

Since when?

[orchid raptor]

eh ill do it at some point then, since its not required for other quests

[stone goblet]

since always

[orchid raptor]

the ak-12 is just such a cumbersome rifle

[light root]

2014

[stone goblet]

theyre registered in the uk

[raw nest]

always has been

[cosmic patrol]

... interesting

[orchid raptor]

i wish u could be honest with prapor and tell him "hey man this gun you gave me kinda fucking sucks unless i make it better"

[light root]

most of them are located in st petersburg, they're just legally a UK company

which makes sense, given russia's political-economic state lol

[cosmic patrol]

I cant get into politics, but pretty sure they did something not so bueno

[gusty whale]

Ngl one of the best TD guns

[cosmic patrol]

well, they were alleged to it

[gusty whale]

Russia or bsg

[distant obsidian]

Yeah bsg is UK based

[cosmic patrol]

BSG

[gusty whale]

Hmm

[stone goblet]

im pretty sure we have official info somewhere about their staff size

im trying to find it but just got into a raid

[cosmic patrol]

I am not of course 100% on the allegation ive heard but it would kinda make sense

[orchid raptor]

its honestly just because finding PMCs in customs is so boring

u gotta be fast or else scavs will get to them first

[old acorn]

can someone turnt he weather machine down all this fucking rain is depressing

[orchid raptor]

the ak-12 isnt really that light

[orchid crest]

Imagine the government garnishes your profits for the states interest

[light root]

I think they said 130 on linked-in

[jaunty stream]

Omg I'm going through their Gov Application and the mythical Nikita's name is written down

[cosmic patrol]

Yeaaah.

[jaunty stream]

Ain't no way

[gusty whale]

Public info varies between 80 and 200 so don't think it's easily accessible at the least, and most is years old info

[stone goblet]

i mean im pretty sure nikita maybe said something

[orchid crest]

Can’t garnish the UK!

[stone goblet]

im like 60% ure

sure

[orchid raptor]

140 hours on pve and ive never ever ever found a tank battery

the only tank battery ive found is one i got from a quest

[light root]

google ai summary says he has made a statement, but it doesn't say what the statement is

but that's ai so ya know, 50-50 that's correct lol

[cosmic patrol]

I mean... they are russian, their company is just based in the UK but they operate out of Petersburg

[jaunty stream]

Who is Ludmila?

[light root]

I have only ever found them on that one Reserves key, the one in the garage with the grate door

[astral kindle]

Gemini summary is most of time wrong, remember when it said put glue on pizza?

[light root]

what's wrong about that

[raw nest]

That's Ludmila, you don't know

[orchid crest]

Yes, so the company is out of Russias hand, even though they operate there

[gusty whale]

Go to the locked toilet room in train depot woods

[light root]

what key

[cosmic patrol]

No. They still pay taxes in Russia...

Far from out of russias hand

[stone goblet]

Elsewhere in the hour-long interview, Nikita revealed that over 350 people are working on Tarkov in one way or another, confirming that Battlestate Games is, by now, a very large studio.

an article

[gusty whale]

Idk search toilet and it'll probs come up 1/1 use key

[stone goblet]

so theres an interview where he does say its over 350

[cosmic patrol]

if they operate in Russia, they are very much in Russias hand lmfao

also sorry Butch, im dipping into politics a little bit

[light root]

operation costs and land taxes, but they can't garnish the wages or anything like that I don't believe

[stone goblet]

stop then

[orchid crest]

Yes, but the state cannot garnish wages from them. Garnishing and taxes are not the same here

[light root]

this is ecnomics more than politics

[gusty whale]

Tbf probs only just over half are actually active developers, a lot are likely admin/legal etc

[cosmic patrol]

This, yes. This is what I mean. The company itself though yeah is safe from Russian hands

so you are correct

correct-o-mento

[stone goblet]

its still a staff team tho

[orchid crest]

It’s smart!!!

[stone goblet]

they still all need paid

[gusty whale]

True, we were just talking in the context of game development before we got onto money stuff

[jaunty stream]

Only reason I'm asking is because their name is down for Director of BSG and also has the most shares, there are only 3 people with shares

Ah

Even shows how much profit the game is making

[light root]

how much

[rotund junco]

Has anyone tried using their own tripwires in the labyrinth?
tagilla + killa is annoying to kill, wondering if one could try this route

[jaunty stream]

It's a load of number I don't really know what I'm reading

[gusty whale]

Not sure they will even trigger the tripwire tbh

[rotund junco]

i know that the allready spawned tripwires arent triggered by them, thus is why i asked about our own placed ones

[jaunty stream]

He disarms them

[marble bronze]

They're immune to explosives iirc

[rotund junco]

shit, ok

[astral kindle]

Ah you were faster

[gusty whale]

Not immune, but yeah, insanely resistant, practically immune

[astral kindle]

But yeah, Shagilla is 100% immune to explosions, not sure about Villa

[cosmic patrol]

Killa is immune

ISNT

ISNT IMMUNE, fuck. Shagilla is immune fully

Villa can be killed with nades

[warped berry]

Just going to leave you guys with a fun fact for the day

Russia wasn't founded as a country until October of 1991 so if he were born before then we are officially older than the country Russia itself

[gusty whale]

You sure? I've seen people kill him with nades before (or GLs at least), I guess its the impact damage of the round rather than the explosion maybe

[marble bronze]

Literally immune to explosive damage. Fragments may still be effective, idk.

[warped berry]

Btw your welcome 🤗

😂

[cosmic patrol]

The damage of the round yeah. I.e the green fuckin grenades from the GL. Fully damage of the projectile not fragments

[light root]

can you flash him?

[gusty whale]

Yea, probs the impact damage rather than the fragments

[light root]

also that video took like 40 gl direct impacts through him glitched on a door

[cosmic patrol]

but Villa though yeah he can fully die to normal nades.

He isnt immune to anything

[loud raptor]

ks23 flash

[light root]

flash him and rip his legs

[gusty whale]

Doubt they last very long against him

Best is just run m61 and tap him head a couple times and call it a day

[jaunty stream]

2024: 50ish Mil, 2023: 65Ish Mil

[marble bronze]

He's just regular ol Killa but he's already aggro to you when he spawns in

[light root]

an you flash tagilla? isn't he wearing a literal welding mask

[marble bronze]

So that tracks

[cosmic patrol]

Aggrod + more health than normal Killa

[light root]

total, or per year?

[cosmic patrol]

also no, he isnt aggrod

[jaunty stream]

Turn over

[cosmic patrol]

He just beelines to Shagillas body without being aggrod by you
