pve-chat

[glad nebula]

Oh you're not catbagel, nevermind

What about it is bugged? I managed to do it some time ago

[stoic apex]

i have won 2 in a row and it wont go through,

even shows completed in arena but not tarkov

[glad nebula]

Oh, hmm. Might be something you need to send a support ticket if some syncing broke. That worked for me when I did it

[stoic apex]

well rip my game

[glad nebula]

Maybe try running a scav on your PVE acc if you haven't already

[stoic apex]

i did that too and nothing

[glad nebula]

Just to force a server update. I've noticed some of my story tasks needed me to do that to update

[quartz thicket]

There needs to be a button on your website profile to force a sync

[fervent peak]

Known bug, no resolution as of yet

Also, whoever tried to post that list of stuff, don't list things like that. The discord assumes that's spam.

[twilit heath]

why did i find key 02 for laby on a scav on interchange

[fervent peak]

That's a 'Don't worry about it'

[twilit heath]

lmao

[quartz thicket]

the labyr keys are in the loot pool for some reason lol

got one from the scav circle still in stash

[marsh wing]

setup done. Time to go stash a leatherman and sniper for PK

[quartz thicket]

i miss when you could strip the gun down first

[twilit heath]

finally gave skier his million roubles for the loyalty buyback and it didnt give me the rep

fucker always scams me

[tough pawn]

black division ai genuinely sucks so much bro

[pine rune]

anyone here still struggling with terminal? I been trying to beat it for like forever! If anyone needs a partner for terminal hit me up!

[tough pawn]

5th fucking attempt and i've died each time because the first time i just crumpled over dead, the second time i got fried, same for the 3rd and fourth, and now the 5th

[marsh wing]

nighttime shoreline time. gonna try to do 3 quests while im here

[pine rune]

this is like my 20th plus time it's like BSG likes to switch shit around each time so no one can beat it easy or with minor difficulty

[tough pawn]

their ai is genuinely so shit too because it's either they're as dumb as a sack of bricks or their the second coming of lvndmark

[stray nexus]

my pve doesnt work. does anyone know a fix?

[pine rune]

funny thing is only the black troops are harder. Scavs are still easy to one tap UNLESS they swarm you zombie style

[tough pawn]

earlier i had both my arms and head blacked by a scav with a fucking saiga at terminal because i didn't know he was alive when opening the black division service path, black division is the only ai in this game that is actually dangerous sigh

[bright sand]

specify doesnt work

[stray nexus]

@bright sand like i bought it and when i go to switch over to it in the game it says i still have to pay for it

[distant obsidian]

yeah, run 5 miles and do a handstand. Like wtf kinda of a question is this?

[bright sand]

submit support ticket. people are having similar issues

[distant obsidian]

how the fuck is anyone supposed to answer a question so incredibly vague? fuck people make no sense

[stray nexus]

@bright sand yea i saw that i just didnt know if anyone here had a fix

[sturdy grove]

Good news everyone...... I have completed the price of independence at my very first try.
I even gunned down glukhar without even realizing.

[quartz thicket]

Gluk is like the least distinct boss

[opal ruin]

did you restart the game?

[velvet coral]

even then there are ways to spot him

[opal ruin]

black t shirt and almost bald without helmet

[velvet coral]

i...think he's the only one in his possie that wears helmets that can fit NVDs

[peak silo]

another fuckin backend error with a marked room key , fuck this game bro

[velvet coral]

oh! and he under no circumstances wears a skull mask like his kronies

[opal ruin]

or any face cover

expect to winter event with santa beard

[tough pawn]

how tf am i supposed to make it through terminal if i get my head blacked out by a scav or go mia once more i'm gonna jump off a bridge

[quartz thicket]

Hes got male pattern baldness too, he still looks the most like a scav than any other boss lol

[velvet coral]

except maybe reshala

[quartz thicket]

Nah that orange/tan jackets unique

[velvet coral]

ii mean...so are the Tshirts

[quartz thicket]

i guess, i see PMC before i see gluk

[opal ruin]

its scavs and raiders for me.
also i just had the funniest glitch ever on lighthouse XD

you all know the rouges. on water treatment roof 2 i killed the one to the trainstation and instead of dying he flew like the interloper away and was killed by a border sniper XD

[velvet coral]

i had a similar thing happen to one of Glukhar's guards a few weeks back

[marsh wing]

thirsty-hounds, signal part 1, needle in a haystack, and fishing gear, all done in one raid

[pine rune]

guess I'll try again solo in terminal! anyone need a partner for a 3 man squad for terminal hit me up

[marsh wing]

and i got part of colleagues part 1 done

[marsh wing]

#pve-lfg

[halcyon pulsar]

Turns out vector + 4 big sticks = infinite ammo and decent dps even with M882/PST but its a replenishment simulato. melted away 2 guards of glukhar with it without even realising they were ones.

[manic harness]

Does the Kappa to desecrated kappa sacrifice work in PVE too?

[tough pawn]

any tips for making it through terminal

[marsh wing]

should

[clear palm]

goons still glitched on every map?

[solemn marsh]

Think im just gonna self nade myself to damage the 6b43 chest this time, I wore it for like a week or so straight to get the dura I needed last time

[jovial cobalt]

they were glitched?

[jovial cobalt]

can find some vids on yt of how to get through it so you have an idea of where to go and what you need to do instead of going thru it blind

[jovial cobalt]

ye it should

[tough pawn]

i know where i have to go but clearing black division is hell because as i said earlier they fry me whenever i peak

[jovial cobalt]

just have to figure out the good angles to fight them from

[manic harness]

Kk ill try it out

[jovial cobalt]

like the first bd fight in front of armory i take a very specific angle so that they all kinda have to push me in 1 area

if i move out to the street before killing them ill just die bc their squads split up and leave me with no cover

[tough pawn]

the armory and keycard i can make it through no problem, it's the guys next to the explosive charge because of the lack of hard cover

[jovial cobalt]

when approaching that fight i always stick to the right side in the kinda fence area with wooden boxes

[grim valley]

@tough pawn need a teammate? Should be easier with more people

[jovial cobalt]

because they will spawn around the right corner so you can just wait for them to walk in front and already have a good angle, then some might come from front left kinda which they might be less predictable

[tough pawn]

before i do anything i have to wait on the keycard

[tough pawn]

it's not the guys that spawn around the corner, i sit behind the boxes next to the truck with those guys, it's the two that spawn next to the charges

[jovial cobalt]

like in front on the other side of the wall kinda

[grim valley]

All good lol, for those guys you gotta grenade them to get them to push you

Then peak them the same way you did the first 2

[jovial cobalt]

i always waited and they usually eventually pushed around the forklift or machinery to attack me

[hazy moss]

key to the tower soon 😄

just gotta wait until tmr now

[fervent peak]

Killa had to be my last kill for the ticket lmao

[clear palm]

they were spawning on every map (the ones they can) earlier

[brazen crystal]

anyone trying to run some pve rn?

[jolly nimbus]

#pve-lfg

[brazen crystal]

rgr thanks

[spiral pecan]

the first squad is such a shit design imo

gotta risk a headshot to get them to come over to you and then play whack a mole in the armory

and the squad at the entrance to the pier and the scav boss you can skip over

terminal really needs a touch up

speaking of

@cosmic patrol still didn't escape?

[cloud solar]

not really pve but any1 know why arena wont open for me i own it i havent played in a sec but it shows the play button when i click it it says in game for like 2 sec then goes back to play

[fervent peak]

Please try #community-support

[cloud solar]

i did lol just opening my chances lol

[fervent peak]

The only ones who may even have an inkling of an idea would be there

[twilit heath]

did you try a reinstall?

[cloud solar]

no should i?

[twilit heath]

wouldnt hurt while youre waiting for an answer

[cloud solar]

also im kinda new to pcs would i just delete all of the escape from Tarkov arena files from my battlestate games file?

nvm i found the uninstall .exe

[hollow plover]

yo am i bugged im on the ticket and its not telling me to talk to mechanic or kerman after failing the task??

[cloud solar]

bro why is my download speed so slow on tarkov ive never noticed lol its 10mbps instead of a gig XD

[manic pewter]

Of finding the RFID thingy?

[hollow plover]

yeah so after going labs and not finding the RFID card im supposed to talk to kerman andmechanic but it wont let me

[manic pewter]

It wont let you talk to kerman?

[hollow plover]

nope

[manic pewter]

Not inside the hideout even?

[hollow plover]

no

even tho i should be able too according to the ticket wiki

[manic pewter]

I suppose restart the game, maybe verify integrity or smth

[bright sand]

??story

[quasi apex]

Issues regarding the progression of storyline chapters are known and a solution is being worked on. (27th Feb)
A hotfix was pushed, players need to restart game and see if the issue persists.
The hotfix didn't fix the issue, the team is further investigating.
The issue should be resolved.

[hollow plover]

ima verify and see

the problem is right before you get the quest to turn in the 40 btc

like im supposed to be able to talk to him and kerman to get that quest

however it just wont give me new dialouge

is there a support channel??

[marsh wing]

#community-support

[quiet chasm]

Where did all the loot on The Lab go? Did a raid earlier and green was basically empty.

[pseudo kayak]

just hit red and res unit icl

[quiet chasm]

green and black were my "stock up on stims" route but I guess I'll go do something else

[spark plank]

codes??

[bright sand]

??codes

[quasi apex]

Redeem your goodies → https://www.escapefromtarkov.com/promo/activate (Or launcher → your name → activate code)
SBEUKOMAR | SCAVYBOI | GOONSQUAD | LIGHTSOUT | PAY2WIN | ELVISVISTA | INEEDSPACE

[tough pawn]

do goons spawn on terminal?

[tough pawn]

labyrinth has been way better for stims personally

[distant obsidian]

I find the flea a better use of my time

[orchid raptor]

is there a way to wipe pvp without wiping pve?

[distant obsidian]

yeah, you just click wipe pvp

[orchid raptor]

thank you

[distant obsidian]

like did you even look at the page?

Reset the game profile
Reset the game progress for PVP or PVE ZONE

[orchid raptor]

i wanted to make sure

[distant obsidian]

make sure of what? it literally tells you

[orchid raptor]

little bit of 2nd hand confirmation never hurt didn't it

you never know with this game

[distant obsidian]

it literally asks you what account to wipe?

i dont understand what could be confusing about that

[orchid raptor]

i wasn't confused i wanted confirmation from someone who's done it

[distant obsidian]

[orchid raptor]

just a question man jeez, no need to be so passive aggressive about it

[distant obsidian]

and I am just asking a question.

[orchid raptor]

and i gave you an answer

[distant obsidian]

no need to be so offended by it

[marsh wing]

tyreall, i have just the thing to cheer you up pal

[distant obsidian]

[pseudo kayak]

ahh okay so if you exfil w evidence, it says it's transferred to your handbook

[distant obsidian]

yes

[pseudo kayak]

so that's why i dont physically have my labrys research notes

phew that's nice to know

[distant obsidian]

and the little green number above handbook will bever go away.

wait those are different

[marsh wing]

right click it for temporary joy

[fervent peak]

Left click*

I have dunked 15 mil today, am poor once again

[pseudo kayak]

it says i failed to search the gnezdo outpost even tho i just got all the evidence from it . _ .

[fervent peak]

Don't worry about the optional failures

Only worry about the objectives needed to get to the ending you want

[marsh wing]

i completed fishing gear earlier, and i just finished tiger safari

the last two raids i have done have knocked out probably a total of like 7 quests

and, its time to change my Server name once again :)

LEVEL 40 BBY

[mental halo]

@tough pawngoons spawn on shoreline but not in terminal. you can get caught by them heading there

[tough pawn]

yeah ik that i was asking if they could spawn in the place of the boss that spawns near the black div guys when your about to open the pier door

[mental halo]

@tough pawn no

[marsh wing]

Goons spawn at the radio station across the road and up the hill from construction site iirc

[tough pawn]

knight is my opp when i task on shoreline

[marsh wing]

goons are my opps right now

i cant fucking get them to spawn when im actually ready for them

[tough pawn]

i saw them like 8 times before i got stray dogs and after stray dogs i didn't see them once for two weeks

[grizzled yoke]

guys, the flying rogue problem has returned. I clipped it

[distant obsidian]

W

[marsh wing]

first time i saw them, it was at night and i was in the open behind fortress. 2nd time, i was outside of dorms looking up at airdrop that was about to land

i didnt have enough time either time to even get to cover

[tough pawn]

i tried to shoot at knight when he was running across that open field towards smugglers, learned not to do that again i guess

[marsh wing]

also reshy key :)

hit up his bunkhouse during the raid and got rooster, egg, and roler

[worn finch]

Just a warning, Keycards/Marked rooms are fucked again

[marsh wing]

bet

[worn finch]

Cracked black keycard room and safe and there was literally just one rolex

[shell lava]

loot drought

[worn finch]

Yep
Why do they just occasionally turn off the loot for expensive rooms? Seems fucking stupid and happens every couple weeks

[tough pawn]

ai pmc could've looted safe through wall

[pine rune]

oh ok sorry! this is my 1st time trying to recruit teamates especially for a pve terminal raid

[marsh wing]

its all good. Just pointing you in that direction to help you find some people. Not a lot of people know that chat exists

[marsh wing]

#screenshots message
Just did a practice run of streets factory

[bright sand]

practice run?

[marsh wing]

yeah

[distant obsidian]

they are only expensive because its a player market, not because BSG decided they aRE

[fervent peak]

If demand is greater than supply, price go up

[marsh wing]

nobody is selling because loot isnt great

[distant obsidian]

no, they are just rare

[marsh wing]

people think because price is high, it will be worth

[distant obsidian]

and people are buying it.

low supply, high demand

yellow is high supply and high demand. hence low price

[marsh wing]

and then people complain about wasting money on a key that might make its money back

[distant obsidian]

most expensive keys will never make their money back in a player market.

its why they are priced the way they are. All player controlled

[marsh wing]

what are the 2k24 guns?

[distant obsidian]

they were added from an even for 2024

most use guns and build over the course of the event got added as a buy. Or close to the same builds

[pseudo kayak]

welp im being blocked from completing batya bc of me opening the case 😭

[fervent peak]

Get elite crafting 5head

[pseudo kayak]

ts not happening within 36h

[distant obsidian]

you cant get blocked by opening the case

[pseudo kayak]

need to craft stuff for batya step

[distant obsidian]

o you need to do another craft. that was worded weirdly I didnt get it

[fervent peak]

I LOVE TIMEGATES 😄

[pseudo kayak]

i wonder how long these two batya crafts take

[marsh wing]

guess im playing lots of shoreline tomorrow

[golden thorn]

ngl he should js remove them or make them 1 hour

since most people have beat the game

[sage marsh]

More timegates

[viscid bone]

nvm

[grizzled yoke]

bro why does the game crash so much nowadays

I ks-23'd a scav to the thorax and bam the game instafreezed

[sage marsh]

Sounds like a low ram issue

[grizzled yoke]

really?

32gb

[sage marsh]

32gb is the base min you can really have

[grizzled yoke]

back in my day it was 16gb 👴

[pseudo kayak]

wait okay okay, you cannot turn an asval into a mod.4 correct?

[sage marsh]

Correct

[pseudo kayak]

darn

[grizzled yoke]

no. You can add some mod.4 furniture on there (the buffer tube, the grip) but that's about it

[sage marsh]

The mod4 is behind a really annoying quest

[pseudo kayak]

anyone got an asval build then

[sage marsh]

Rob gluhar of his

[grizzled yoke]

it used to be get kills at 100m, which I did at lighthouse
now 50m is very doable imo

[pseudo kayak]

9x39 does some good dmg gd

[quartz thicket]

Gib unload ammo shortcut

[rancid tundra]

Timegate for the next scav run must be 58 hours.

[grizzled yoke]

good damage, but as long as you treat the 9x39 rifle as an smg then you're golden

[golden thorn]

Ngl I have no idea how people did that mechanic question for the 100 meter headshots on pmcs before they changes it

9x39 guns are so inaccurate at range😭

[distant obsidian]

reserve dome. easy

[fervent peak]

An incredible amount of patience at dome

[golden thorn]

Oh ik im js saying the moa is so bad

[violet plaza]

i just started spamming shots at one point lol

[golden thorn]

Ngl I needa do the quest but I cba😭

[distant obsidian]

im not doing it

[golden thorn]

I had like 2000 rounds of sp6 at one point

But I js gave it to a buddy since ion use it

[violet plaza]

i did it when it was 100m, wasnt as bad as capturing outposts tbh

[golden thorn]

That quest is horrible in pve

Pvp would be so easy

[violet plaza]

lighthouse is better cause more PMCs and you dont have to do 300 meter snipes on dome

[golden thorn]

Oh i was meaning the capturing outpost quest lol

The mechanic quest for the mod4 isnt bad js time consuming

[violet plaza]

oh yea capturing outposts was stupid

[golden thorn]

Mhm

[jaunty notch]

watched a tan ulach bounce 4 rounds of BP, ran across the map out to finish him out of salt lol

[quartz thicket]

So damn close to having prapors money

[drowsy juniper]

which BP?

shouldnt matter just curious lol

[viscid bone]

im assuming 9x39

[twilit heath]

scav ate 3 ap-20 to the chest then head eyesed me

[distant obsidian]

likely you wer hitting arms

slugs love arms

and doesnt have enough pen to pen them so its kinda lame

[twilit heath]

prolly, hate my life

[distant obsidian]

yeah, I am a good shot but I cant even use slugs well for the life of me

idk if its a game thing or an aim thing, but they work so poorly

[twilit heath]

i was doing pretty decent when i did setup, i decided to take it on my next raid and ran out of luck

[distant obsidian]

ye

[manic pewter]

Scav arms are made out of magnets actually

But on a serious note

Whenever the AI have slugs, it seems my armpits are magnets for their slugs

[jaunty notch]

5.45

[jaunty notch]

it was also at about 300 meters which def played a factor lol

[toxic patio]

Slugs just suck in this game

they veer off to the side so far that they’re basically useless past 50 meters

[hazy moss]

god forbid i run a story quest with a friend

im doing the thing where u gotta plant the flashdrive for they are already here

[quartz thicket]

Alright first terminal run boys. Do i need a gun or no

[hazy moss]

and this guy RUINS it and forces me to run it back because he has the attention span of a goldfish and turned on the cooling for me

because he turned it on, i couldnt plant my flashdrive ❤️

[manic pewter]

Should be an obvious yes

[quartz thicket]

I thought they stripped you n shit thats why i asked chill daddy

[twilit heath]

do it naked or youre gay

[hazy moss]

you put it all in your backpack and you get it back in the armory

[manic pewter]

You do get your stuff taken off you but you'll have more than enough time to get it from the armory before BD come

[drowsy juniper]

dont need to put it in bag, it puts it away automatically when you get close to the gate, unless you pull it out again on purpose you are fine

[manic pewter]

Good to know actually

[quartz thicket]

Alright, ive mostly been avoiding spoilers until now

[hazy moss]

im so pissed off from my friend right now bro 💔

would of taken 2 raids

[manic pewter]

Only one id give is where the armory key is but only if you want me to tell you

[quartz thicket]

Keys are a bitch in this game I will accept key spoilers

thats the only thing i spoiled for myself in labyr too

[manic pewter]

Its on a dead ruaf soldier outside the armory

[quartz thicket]

perf

[twilit heath]

who does key locations without the wiki

[drowsy juniper]

also additional spawns inside the armoury on the table

[twilit heath]

psychopaths

[quartz thicket]

I wanted to try to find them organically in labyr but that did not happen lmao

[manic pewter]

Won't say more, given you've managed thus far without spoilers I respect the dedication

[manic pewter]

Don't think there's much else

The most fun is finding out yourself anyways

Which is too late for me as I know where to go

[quartz thicket]

I just gotta wait until 22:00 now

[manic pewter]

I first watched Tigz do it then Sheef so

[quartz thicket]

I saw like the first 3 seconds and was like nawww i wanna see that all for myself first

[manic pewter]

Respect

Im guessing you'll reset afterwards and get more endings or?

[quartz thicket]

I'm gonna take a long ass break at the very least

[viscid bone]

can you transfer out bags full of loot when transiting?

[manic pewter]

Yes

[quartz thicket]

Yeah you can use rigs/bags in transit boxes

[viscid bone]

it doesnt despawn the items like it did awhile back?

[quartz thicket]

not that ive seen so far

[viscid bone]

ill give it a shot and return lol

[golden thorn]

Ngl valid i would've done the same but I wanted to hit level 61 for the skier quest

[wicked crow]

you've gotta be fucking kidding me

game crashes right after i get the usb for lighthouse

[quartz thicket]

#screenshots message
What im takin to port, lets see if I can clear it on my first shot like labyr (doubt it)

[wicked crow]

that's so fucking stupid

[quartz thicket]

Its just an m4 🙁

[wicked crow]

give us 20 fucking spawnpoints and then fucking game just crashes

lets run around water plant for 30 mins again

[distant obsidian]

replayability

[pseudo kayak]

port?

[quartz thicket]

terminal

[pseudo kayak]

ah

[viscid bone]

if my game crashes while transit do i still get the full xp?

[quartz thicket]

nope

oh wait i think they fixed it, so you'll still be connecting?

havent had it happen myself to test it

[toxic patio]

what the hell is that horrendous build

[quartz thicket]

Unlimited power

[quartz thicket]

Well.. i died in terminal.. but i still have my kit?

[manic pewter]

you dont lose it

[quartz thicket]

Oh fun

[manic pewter]

indeed

what are you running in terms of kit actually

[quartz thicket]

a goofy ass m4 with 995 #screenshots message

[manic pewter]

i see

[quartz thicket]

I could not find the armory that run though

I found the note that tells you to find the key on the body

[manic pewter]

i dont remember where the armory is tbh

ill know when im there though

[quartz thicket]

I saw the big sign that probably says armory when translated with the big ak

[manic pewter]

thatd be it yeah

[meager coyote]

We are witnessing peak

[crystal umbra]

Did they give cultists footsteps back again, because I swear they used to be pretty silent before but now I defo hear them stomping all over place when they are aggroed.

Or are they silent only when they are sneaking up to you with melee?

[quartz thicket]

They gave cultist footsteps

[worthy otter]

They have had footsteps for well over a year

[crystal umbra]

aah okay, so I am not going crazy then

well good to know. because last time I fought them around the bunkhouses, it would have been a real shitshow if they were totally silent lol

also someone told me that they show up on thermal scopes, but only the armasight fusion mode. Fact or fiction?

[quartz thicket]

They show up on thermals, just faintly, not obv like everything else with a pulse

[worthy otter]

Their gear shows up on thermals

They themself are rather hard to see

[crystal umbra]

I see, I see

[fickle crown]

Someone to play I’am new

[quartz thicket]

#pve-lfg

[mossy blade]

Is it bright red with a FLIR or like what color is it

[worthy otter]

It is exactly the same as with any other character

[shy pollen]

Man I hate this quest so far

[quartz thicket]

wtf i just died to krampus

[indigo knoll]

how long until intimidator shows up when you turn lvl 45?

[north flare]

anyone know best map for living hight not a crime pt 1/2

[crystal umbra]

Labs. I got most of my vases and figurines from there esp yellow and violet room

[north flare]

sick thanks for insight

[quartz thicket]

res units not bad if you still got bag space after those two and red

[ashen anchor]

Did BSG really hot fix the transit bug?

So if i go to lighthouse water treatment and the car is not there i have to wait until the train comes or walk my ass a all the way to village or mountain pass to get out…

[tough pawn]

can u buy the sz-1 explosive charge on flea?

[mossy blade]

Labs

[frozen kayak]

[crystal umbra]

Indeed. Res unit card is also a guaranteed spawn every lab raid iirc, just have to find it in one of its spawns

[ashen anchor]

Super easy spawns too ^

[quartz thicket]

only spawns in like 4 rooms, the size of appartment basically

[orchid raptor]

anyone seen the goons?

[burnt bramble]

Its been like 6 months since ive last hopped on, how is the loot in pve right now?

[quartz thicket]

terminal attempt #2

Its still as shit as it was after the christmas nerf

[burnt bramble]

Magnificent, wake me up when its not abysmal shit

[fleet loom]

loots free anyways

[burnt bramble]

Not when you use keycards

[fleet loom]

god forbid the game allow you to make money in ways that arent the same labs route 500x

and u usually make money using keycards atleast in my experience, just not an overwhelming amount

[crystal umbra]

Anyone else when scavving would run into a PMC who would just straight up ignore you?

I scavved into Streets to check for the rusted key at the Kollontay shopping mall, and while I was hugging a pillar a random ass PMC just walked past me and completely ignored me lol. I killed him and confirmed him being a PMC by dogtag.

This has actually happened to me like twice so far.

My fence rep is 6+ , but it shouldn't affect PMCs no?

Or maybe just a buggy AI?

[fleet loom]

i think some pmcs are partially friendly to scavs for some reason. happens to me too

[crystal umbra]

Huh interesting

[fleet loom]

they dont care about ur presence until you get in their face basically

[crystal umbra]

Hope you dont lose fence rep from killing these "friendly" PMCs tho, I forgot to check at the time lol

[digital dune]

Oof got too confident there.. Scav head shot me on sight. Mf terminator.

[raw nest]

Been a thing for almost a year now, one of the updates messed it up

[crystal umbra]

Well I started playing maybe like 4 months ago so I am learning all this new stuff as I go

[raw nest]

You don't, you can even choose which kit you want, If they kill scavs only then kill pmcs. Otherwise you don't get rep at all

[crystal umbra]

So its just another "1.0 ready" bug thats been there for a while?

[raw nest]

It's a tiny bug in the bigger picture

It has no bad effects on the main game, as for pve it works

[crystal umbra]

I mean 80% of time I do get lit up by PMCs as a a scav anyway so I dont mind it that much. I actually like the random factor of PMC being sometimes (and very rarely) "friendly"

[lavish plover]

pvp scavs compared to pve scav is light and day

pve scavs can dropshot you with a fkin toz

[crystal umbra]

Thats why I always wear a faceplate for that random scav buckshot that could hit me in the face.

[lavish plover]

re9 levels of jumpscare when i hear the toz fire off

[wintry cobalt]

I still need the smoke mask :(((((

I'm gonna cry at this point scav case please bless me

I've gotten over half of the kappa items in this last week from the moonshine and intel ones just all the ones I already had

[trim kettle]

Nikita is Russian Kojima btw

[wintry cobalt]

I only have collector and no questions asked so the 6h craft HAS to give me either a RR or a smoke mask

[wintry cobalt]

Feet DLC when

[tough pawn]

i see smokes on rogues a lot but that requires you go to lighthouse which is hell

[clever thunder]

I see smokes a lot on customs. On scavs or In boxes and bags

[bright sand]

if you have 6.0 fence rep and above, they wont be hostile to you unless you shoot them

[crystal umbra]

That's supposed to apply to scavs and bosses/guards only tho. Someone above me confirmed that PMCs being non hostile is apparently a bug.

[swift path]

thats still a thing?

it has been since the beginning of pve

[bright sand]

lol if it's a bug, bsg would have covered it long time ago

the thing is, if you are below 6.0 fence rep, they shoot you on sight.

[swift path]

my experience is pmc wont actively find and shoot you unless you had something good with you

[crystal umbra]

Bruh? There are literally bugs that haven't been fixed since the game was in early beta lol

[crystal umbra]

I was just on factory and PMCs still call out my presence and shoot me tho. I am on fence rep 6.18

As a scav

[swift path]

i mean they wont come to you across half a map, not they wont hit you when youre in their range

and everyone is within everyone else's range in facrtory

[worn finch]

...I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or just know nothing about BSG

The compass has been broken for literally years now and they never bothered fixing it

[swift path]

like if theres a pmc in next block,usually they wont turn back and come to shoot me,unless i had,say a gpu with me

[stone goblet]

its not a bug at all

its a feature

[still nest]

"feature"

[stone goblet]

it is

im finding the page for it

[crystal umbra]

I am not on my PMC rn but I am willing to test this once I am back. Gonna hop on my scav and actively seek out PMCs to see what their aggro is on Fence rep 6.19, then. Because so far I always got lit tf up everytime I ran into them, when I was farming ground zero tasks as a scav

[still nest]

Like how fragmentation never worked so they turned it into a feature

[stone goblet]

it was literally in the patch notes for a pve update

[swift path]

so its extra benifit of being a scav in pve

[stone goblet]

it does it for pmcs as well

[swift path]

because no pmc player give a fuck in pvp

[crystal umbra]

I am so confused rn, so two people above me early on told me its a bug and pmcs are supposed to be hostile to my scav, fence rep nothwithstanding.

Now two other people tell me its opposite.

[stone goblet]

im trying to find the evidence but i can guarantee you that its a feature that theyre sometimes friendly

[bright sand]

lol i ran scavs so many times now

[swift path]

so....extra benifit to reach rep6 fence in pve? i thought the idea is to simulate the raid close to pvp

[crystal umbra]

Like I dont mind either way, like I said before I like the randomness of PMCs being sometimes hostile and sometimes friendly

[stone goblet]

its nothing to do with rep

[swift path]

not with rep? what then?

[stone goblet]

here

[swift path]

oh yes, this is exatly the thing i was recalling

yeah no one ever "friendly" to me

[crystal umbra]

Okay there it is, thank you for the source

[stone goblet]

from the 0.15 update on august 20th 2024

[crystal umbra]

So if it depends on their "mood", I must have been meeting some grumpy ass PMCs in Factory and GZ as a scav lmao

Because they always turned my ass into showerhead whenever they saw me

[swift path]

they never in mood for me, maybe ive killed too much of them

but hey, if someone else join, at least they had no problem to unite and shoot me first

[crystal umbra]

They put you on the PMC naughty list

[swift path]

well, after examing my kill record, i thought i should be the one who draft that list

once you reached certain lvl and with good gears and ammo, theyre not very much a threat

[crystal umbra]

Yeah, for sure. They still get sometimes annoying with their instant limb destroying abilities but its nothing one cant deal with tbh

[swift path]

true. till this day i still wear cpc and windy

never thought they worth me to have better protection

[crystal umbra]

Cpc?

Oh Knight's rig?

[swift path]

cpcmod1

[bright sand]

thank you

[crystal umbra]

Ooh okay then

[swift path]

with kac uhmwpe 5 plate

[crystal umbra]

I usually opt for rigs with neck protection because I got tired of getting a random stray buckshot in the throat, kek

[swift path]

super light, enough space, no neck protection tho, some see that as a critical disadvantage in pve

[crystal umbra]

Yeah most of the neck protection vests are pretty damn heavy, apart from the new ones from Prapor. Those are pretty well balanced imo

Can even shove a rocket launcher in one of those

[swift path]

the way i see it, if they really want, they can still got you in the neck anyway

theyre all aimbot ai after all, and best neck protect is lvl3

not gonna be a problem even for a scav if one is determined to

and lets not forget armpit is exposed there anyway

but thats just me, i wont jduge what other thought about it or what they wear

[digital dune]

Man when they adding the ENVG-B to the game.

That night vision is cracked.

[swift path]

im just saying ive been wearing rig without neck protect and norrmal helm, and its extremly rare for ai got me through neck or ear and jaw

[crystal umbra]

Hey so long as it works for you, wear whatever you want, as they say

Plus this is PvE so you dont gotta metaslave as much as on PvP imo. Going for drip is valid too

[digital dune]

Eh i never get hit in the neck. PVE the protection isn't needed as much.

[swift path]

hear hear

[digital dune]

the only time you really get shot in the head is when you punch shot someone shooting at you causing them to jerk up.

Or you stay in the same place for too long.

This aint the old AI that would snap shot you and insta headtap

Mf not even looked at you 180's so fast you dont even see it and fires.

Seriously though, Namekita ENVG-B's... put em in.

[swift path]

everytime i saw a video about pve setup suggestion, its always"take this heavy ass armor because it had neck, and this heavy ass helm which you cant see a thing, and this cheap ass ear plug as its the only headphone you can use with this helm, so no one can hit you", and i thought to myself why dont you wear a normal helm like windy or fast that will fit a propor headset that allow you hear them before they shot you? and a lighter armour so you can runaway without being catch up and shot in the back

i mean, fully protection is a way if you want

but its surely not the only way, and personally not the way i would suggest

[digital dune]

The whole time you had to wear a frikin beanie for that stupid event so you didn't freeze.. not once was i shot in the face.

Or neck, etc.

[crystal umbra]

Honestly when I started playing and was shitting myself with gear fear, I used to do just that lol. Wear Altyns with earplugs and those bigass armored plates with shoulders, neck etc.

Eventually I realized I prefer moving around faster and that hearing stuff is more valuable to me to get a jump on someone rather than being a walking fridge and not hearing anything

[swift path]

if someone seek suggestion from youtube video they must be new, and i dont believe tell them get in raid like a turtle is a good idea.

[digital dune]

Imo pve is all about confidence, you think you're screwed you're probably going to get screwed.

Stand ten toes down, make AI fear you.

Enter can a robot feel fear vegeta meme here.

[swift path]

yeah...i think a major reason i dont like it is back in my days theres no ear plug, you got normal headset or dont

[digital dune]

Oh i can't stand the heavy breathing from the face mask bs.

I'd rather die. No bs.

[swift path]

how true, its even worse if you had nikita voicepack

[digital dune]

fat dudes breath funny.

[swift path]

i admit i personally hate that fat ass slav, but his breath does sounds like he need to see a doctor

[digital dune]

He f'd himself with "PvE not dlc!" in my book.

[crystal umbra]

Honestly the earplugs are imo not really that good anyway. You hear about the same as without headphones, just with a little less interference. Not worth giving up the 60+ range hearing you'd get with Comtac 5+ IMO

[swift path]

and black stomach cough, instead of someone's dying, he sounds like a dead resurrecting

[digital dune]

Comtac 4+ is the way to go. 4's use to be the goto but they still decent even after 5 and 6 came out.

[crystal umbra]

Damn I need to switch to Nikita voice to hear it, because USEC Josh has been really quiet for me when it comes to helmet breathing

[digital dune]

naaahh you dont want that shit in your ear, trust.

Especially if you wear helm with mask

[swift path]

cant agree more. its about balance, one shouldn't have maximum protection and perception at the same time

and one doesn't.

that plus if you choose windy, ct6 is much cheaper from PK

you know, the version that only goes on wendy

[thorn roost]

i used to think that until i got shot in the face by M80 3 times while fighting a goon

now i don't go in raid without altyn

i got super lucky tho, there was a like a %20 of living

[crystal umbra]

I mean, M80 in the face from anyone would suck tbh

I just love my headphones too much. Hearing footsteps from a far distance has been a lifesaver for me

[thorn roost]

i forgot the exact hearing distance, but the teps have abt a 10m difference from the black ones

the black earplugs can hear 54m from what i remember

[hot sparrow]

Does anybody else think that the nuts and bolts craft is just useless?

[onyx depot]

i probably don't use 90% of the crafts anymore

[gusty whale]

Pretty much every craft is kinda useless tbh

For pve anyways

[hot sparrow]

Ammo, labs and quest items maybe

[young frost]

i crafte ledxs so i can draw stuff with them in a thicc case while everyone else is organizing their stuff

[onyx depot]

got the goons.. 300 rounds of M61 nom nom

[jaunty stream]

rest in peace my granny, she got hit by a bazooka

[glacial osprey]

kaboom, kablow, kaboom

listen to yuno miles and digbars - peak music

[torpid oasis]

task escort ?? im killing pmcs but its not counting ???

[worn finch]

Is the issue factory?

Night time factory and day time factory are considered different maps and often don't share quest progress

If not then I'm not sure

[plush panther]

how am I supposed to do Secured Perimeter? I'm running factory and the PMCs just refuse to go to the office area

[astral kindle]

Its kinda luck based, and if PMCs spawn near office you can try baiting them in

[plush panther]

I've just had a situation like that, 3 PMCs near the office, after 10 minutes no luck with them walking in, 2 ended up dying to a damn scav and the third just walked off somewhere

oh well I guessI have nothing else to do than run factory 2 milion times

[glacial osprey]

run 60 factories

in a row. that's how

[azure canopy]

I've completed the BTR questline, why do I still have the quest to betray him from Skier?

[astral kindle]

You can complete skier questline till last quest

[azure canopy]

It is the last quest, it says I can accept Choose Your Friends Wisely but I've already completed The Price Of Independence

[astral kindle]

Huh interesting as that one should fail

[onyx depot]

wasn't there some issues with the storyline?

[rustic basin]

still possible to find a Thicc case in dorms marked key ?

[astral kindle]

No

[bright sand]

nopes.

[rustic basin]

[azure canopy]

same thing for the Lightkeeper quest to betray Ref
I have the dialogue prompt to accept that every time I visit

[wintry cobalt]

6 hour timer kappa time baby

[crystal umbra]

I had that too. It should basically fail immediately right after accepting it, if you already finished BTR driver's final mission

[wintry cobalt]

yes

[crystal umbra]

The task itself basically wont go away otherwise, so it should be safe to accept, if you just wanna get rid of it

[mossy blade]

Jus gotta do the Bolt action quests like Insomnia and Shooter Born in Heaven, aughhh

Is the LexOs Director office fixed yet

[cosmic patrol]

what about it is broken

[smoky scaffold]

someone pray for me i’m gonna hit rb-bk for the first time

[mental halo]

is there a mod in here that could message me?

[cosmic patrol]

you wont get fuckall basically

[smoky scaffold]

i’m doing a zero to hero run

i will take literally anything

[cosmic patrol]

@stone goblet holy shit, as i went to ping you I almost rolled @birch God damn. How are you though kind sir

[cosmic patrol]

Ahh nice ngl. I might do a zero to hero run myself when I decide to escape terminal or just give up

[smoky scaffold]

please don’t

[cosmic patrol]

but im bored as fuck and I gotta do something to fuck off my free time with

[smoky scaffold]

all of a sudden the pmcs wanna be crazy

[cosmic patrol]

I mean, I killed Tagilla with an USP once. I should be fine to deal with a couple PMCs

add onto your zero to hero run that you cant do any scav runs ong ong

[smoky scaffold]

already doing that

[cosmic patrol]

ok i am kinda tempted to just fucking wipe now without escaping for savior

I genuinely cba to run terminal with 20 fucking FPS

[smoky scaffold]

well yeah but he just charges at you head first and stands still when shooting you

i swear the pmcs are actually thinking

[cosmic patrol]

i was fully naked bro. 1 hit wouldve killed me either way

[smoky scaffold]

they’re getting me in really bad positions and taking height and shit

[grizzled yoke]

They finally fixed capturing outposts it used to be flat out impossible for the stronghold part but now pmcs go there pretty much every raid for me

[smoky scaffold]

please tarkov gods be kind to me this raid

[cursive sky]

What is a man to do when he has 39 kills on Checkpoint and the rest of the team is sub 20 kills per person, unwinnable

God I hate Arena

[smoky scaffold]

i fucking hate this stupid game

[undone coral]

[smoky scaffold]

i spawned in the fucking building

and the fucking guards were there

that’s literally all i had bro

my only backpack my only kit my only good gun

i don’t even have fucking armor

i might just go in with a knife and rush the room and hope i get something to carry everything out with

[onyx depot]

if i could give you a thicc case full of guns and money i would :<

[smoky scaffold]

i have purposely put myself under these rules

[sturdy grove]

im still speechless to have completed the price of independence at my very first try and even gunned glukhar
damn im a monster and im not scared anymore

[onyx depot]

oh

[compact folio]

guys, is anyone willing to sell some labs access keycards to fence so i could try to buy them from him? hopefully bots doesnt buy them all this time

[smoky scaffold]

a fucking scav had a bitcoin

[onyx depot]

i could do that

[cosmic patrol]

They tend to yeah

[compact folio]

fr?

[onyx depot]

sure

how many?

[compact folio]

tried it with some good guys some days ago but i think bots bought them all in seconds, couldnt even see them in refresh

we tried 10 cards at the same time

[onyx depot]

ok well.. I'll see who buys them.. ready?

[compact folio]

wait

in 3 mins

[onyx depot]

why do you need them from fence? rep?

[compact folio]

just access to the lab

[onyx depot]

[compact folio]

dont have lvl 30 yet and dont have inteligence center 2 and therapist lvl4

[onyx depot]

[compact folio]

Prob later, maybe will dm or tag u, thanks

[smoky scaffold]

on customs

[onyx depot]

oki :3

[compact folio]

I will try to open my blacks rn

[smoky scaffold]

rerunning rb-bk with a shit kit

[junior plank]

is it possible that the labrys research notes do not spawn ? ran it 10 times, died twice (once with 2 minutes on left on the clock so looted everything) - only found 4 folders

[smoky scaffold]

green card and red rebel

[cosmic patrol]

Pretty sure it has quite a nice chunk of spawns. I dont remember much of much but did u also check observation?

[smoky scaffold]

holy fuck how do i leave reserve

[ashen anchor]

how do i get the PIFD Keycard Encryption device? for the ticket quest?

I saw someone saying its on streets and i need an Elektronik key for that but i dont have it

[gusty nexus]

pay 40 bitcoins you get the Elektronik key

[ashen anchor]

i still dont have that quest either

[gusty nexus]

Are you on the part where you have to find the rfid thing in labs?

[ashen anchor]

last thing i did was obtaining the blank PFID card from labs

[proven marten]

Hey what do yall go for when searching for the military codfm transmitter.

[ashen anchor]

ive done that and now there is a craft that needs something to activate the card

[gusty nexus]

Labyrinth or reserve where I got mine

[proven marten]

Labyrith is good? Also where with revsere

[gusty nexus]

Should be time gated before turning in the bitcoins (after talking to him about the device not being in labs)

[ashen anchor]

RB-VO & RB-PKPTS on reserve

[ashen anchor]

i mean its already been like 28 hours since i found that thing on labs maybe i need to do more lab runs?

[proven marten]

👍

[ashen anchor]

last thing i did was obtaining the master keycard from labs

i saw ur mention yea im following that sheet im just confused cuz i dont have the bitcoin quest yet for some reason

[gusty nexus]

Mastercard you get in the safe ,the device isn’t in labs it just needs you to spend 30 min in labs I believe

[ashen anchor]

I'll try thanks

[gusty nexus]

Hopefully it works!

[smoky scaffold]

IM INSANE

i got the raiders at d2 and left with so much fucking shit

[vernal spindle]

D2 bro D2

[uneven vapor]

Can the cutist priest

[gusty nexus]

I just did that not long ago for the fallen ending (currently waiting for the card to finish crafting)

[smoky scaffold]

i got a green card i got a red rebel i missed a thicc weapons case

[uneven vapor]

Just not spawn if the other cultists are there

[smoky scaffold]

i got an ammo case

[uneven vapor]

Cause I have searched this whole area and bro is nowhere

[smoky scaffold]

I GOT AN MG

[gusty nexus]

1 priest per group I believe

[smoky scaffold]

the only damage i took was to exhaustion

[uneven vapor]

Ok so im getting trolled cause he is nowhere

[gusty nexus]

He’s a professional hide n seek player

[junior plank]

yeah, i run it with spawn map open ;/

1 more to go i guess, it'll drop at some point 😛

[uneven vapor]

The 4 little dudes are dead asf

This is infuriating

Yeah uh fuck that. Found him glitched in a wall dead

And smthn looted him

35m of my life I wont get back 🔥

[mossy blade]

augh

[jaunty rock]

why the pmc can loot the black keycard ♿

i was happy cuz some pmc had a bitcoin and a intel, i go to black room safe and it has only the key

[gusty reef]

dafuqqqqq

[smoky scaffold]

and i still have 9 uses

[gusty whale]

They loot through walls, known bug

[jaunty rock]

smh

[loud raptor]

Yeah even ai vacuum cheat

[jaunty rock]

kinda op

u can just loot all labs and let the ia loot black for free bitcoin

[gusty whale]

They don't do it very consistently, plus they only get the safe, but yeah

[jaunty rock]

well, still 1m rubles for free

[indigo knoll]

Doing gendarmerie mall cop rn, does anyone have ideas for a cop/security larp lol

I think beret with thor would go hard

also anyone know best way to find baddie's red beard?

[trail sail]

Found a few on raiders and pmcs

[indigo knoll]

i just found out there is a cultist circle recipe for one

so i think im gud

[vernal spindle]

Is there any way to put an lpvo on a glock?

For research purposes

[marble bronze]

No

[pseudo kayak]

if there's one thing this game needs, i need access to ppbs igolnik on this game like asap

give me a minigame where it's just me looting ppbs

[cosmic patrol]

go labrys or sum

[distant obsidian]

Trash ammo except for one place it's good in

Same with SSA ap. 1 use

[vernal spindle]

Ssa ap for scavs, fmj for tagilla and killa

[plush panther]

how tf do I lure AI PMCs to a place

still trying to do Secured Perimeter

[vernal spindle]

Loud guns i think, or throw grenades at them to force them inside

[distant obsidian]

Then fail to kill them with a headshot past like 75m or so. Yeah no, it's close range ammo only for class 6 armor

[distant obsidian]

You can't. You have to wait and stop agroing then or interrupting their pathing

And other "trick" people claim is just placebo.

You rush offices and wait quietly

[plush panther]

well damn

I'm tired of running factory atp, I did all other quests I had for factory for now and I'm just doing this bc I want to unlock the other Jaeger quests

[pseudo kayak]

I only use it for labrys anyways 💔

[indigo knoll]

Wtf why did i get 5 pings

[cursive sky]

Wohoo, Greater Heights 5 completed, had a full positive KD team for the first time in ages lmao

[vernal spindle]

So you didnt get steamrolled by hackers for 3 hours straight?

[cursive sky]

You'd think that huh with me playing on SEA, which is China server

I haven't gotten that many really sus players tbh, I'm astounded by the amount of REALLY bad people though

[civic orbit]

Ive been on GH3 for a month now.💀😭

[cursive sky]

I'm usually top 3 in most of my matches, but there's only so much you can do

[civic orbit]

Dawg, I always tell myself I'm giving up, then I come back the next day.💀

Im not good, at all. But when I am top 3, my team loses.

[idle summit]

Best place to kill cultists? Fuck me I have to kill 2 priests ..

[cursive sky]

Customs

[hazy moss]

customs

[indigo knoll]

is this a daily lmao 😭 but yeah customs always

[hazy moss]

the unheard story quest

[idle summit]

No its for story

[indigo knoll]

in customs they only spawn one place and said place has enough cover to be predictable

[cursive sky]

Story quest

[hazy moss]

wait no, its they are already here

[indigo knoll]

ohh i havent gotten there yet

[hazy moss]

yay all my quest items have finished crafting

[cursive sky]

They spawn in a huge area on Customs now though

[civic orbit]

Where? Im gonna try and kill then this weekend.

[cursive sky]

So there's quite a lot of ground you have to cover each raid to fully check

[civic orbit]

Still haven't gotten to killing the Goons yet..😭

[indigo knoll]

they spawn in the bushes/area near crackhouse

[idle summit]

Only got 2 chapters left for story

[civic orbit]

Ty ty

Come study YouTube videos on how to kill them.💀

[idle summit]

I killed a priest without even knowing it

Was doing insomnia when it happened lol

[indigo knoll]

i remember i was doing night runs on customs with friends, my guy gets on the nsv and says "yo that's a weird scav he has a hood", shoots him, and then we all get lit up and die lmaoo

[loud raptor]

I had them more on the other side of stronghold than between strong and crack

[civic orbit]

Thats what happened to me. I say someone in a bush, thought that was weird so I shot em. Next thing I know I seen 3 muzzle flashes and boom, dead.😂

[hazy moss]

for every 3 panda spawns i get 1 crack spawn

[loud raptor]

Imagine they throw their knives instead

[civic orbit]

@cursive sky thats a whole Lotta area to cover when I'm to scared to even leave spawn at night.😂😭

[loud raptor]

So true, they are at panda more often for me too

[cursive sky]

[civic orbit]

I heard they are like most bosses, just find a good spot to have them funnel in and you're good?

[loud raptor]

Tbh at night in pve it’s even less scary cus at night AIs don’t see you half the time

[cursive sky]

Gotta invest in those good NVGS

[loud raptor]

Tank helmet nvgs are goated tbh

[cursive sky]

Bruh

[civic orbit]

Gonna try arena tomorrow again, after I might Cultist.

Can Goons and Cultist spawn at same time?

[cursive sky]

Yes

Sometimes you get the holy quadruple of Goons, Cultists, Reshala and Partizan

Actually I don't know if Partizan can spawn at night with them, but I've had Goons, Reshala and Cultists at the same time

[civic orbit]

Im backing out if that happens.

Prob not, im definitely getting 1 shot before I even notice.

[golden thorn]

amazing xp gains

[cursive sky]

Just gotta invest in good gear, good ammo and good NVGs for those night raids

[civic orbit]

I think I have decent gear, but maybe not. I think I still need to learn the game. I'm only 175 hours, im still learning gun fights.😂

[bright sand]

if goons or reshala is around, you need to kill them first

[golden thorn]

whats the most accurate 9x39 gun?

[distant obsidian]

Mod4 prob

[golden thorn]

the vss would be right?

[distant obsidian]

I mean just look at the moa in game.

My guess is the mod4 is

[thorn token]

vss in practice aint all that good with the dura burn

havent used the mod 4 myself but i've heard its significantly less burn

[distant obsidian]

With the better parts I imagine so as well

But it's not a gun I will get so it's a guess

[thorn token]

even just partizan and reshala along with 5 pmcs gave me 28k exp

[golden thorn]

nah its like the sr3m

vss is the best ig

[thorn token]

interesting

[golden thorn]

i needa kill pmcs at range

[golden thorn]

yuh partisan gives alot

[thorn token]

shoreline, go to the rocks outside east wing overlooking smug base, ez 100m snipes at pmcs in open terrain

pmcs always run to smug base

at least one, maybe 2 squads

[hazy moss]

ok ive put it off long enough, im going to run labyrinth finally

any essentials anyone wants to recommend other than high penning ammo

[stiff scaffold]

accidentally pressed alt f4 when trying to press alt r

im fucking stupid

[smoky scaffold]

just walked all the way from black pawn through tunnels to cliff descent with blacked legs and no surgery kits

anything for the bitcoin

[golden thorn]

ima do lighthouse #screenshots message

cant wait for the goons to touch me

[golden thorn]

grenades

[distant obsidian]

Reserve sniping is always the best

[thorn token]

Lighthouse also works yeah, just a little more random on where pmcs will be at

[golden thorn]

see i would do that but ion needa get hit in the face by m61 from across the map

[thorn token]

Eh, I had issues with that. Glukhar would kill the pmcs before I could snipe them typically

[scarlet parcel]

Ammo runs suck!

[hazy moss]

impacts and low fuse? or just regular ones

[golden thorn]

js to hit guards

so any tbf

[thorn token]

I need to kill big pipe again soon for my sweet 7.62 nato

[golden thorn]

v40s are nice

[hazy moss]

alright ill bring like 4-5

[smoky scaffold]

and the labs access card LOL

[golden thorn]

i do streets since all the keys are cheap

[smoky scaffold]

i should’ve saved the cards i got from the marked room for now

[thorn token]

Mvd is good for ammo

[plush panther]

took a while more but I finally did it, thanks

[smoky scaffold]

i’m only level 10 so i don’t think it would be much help anyways going to labs

[distant obsidian]

Np

[hazy moss]

any stims u guys would recommend?

[thorn token]

Labs is always useful

Especially if you have the keys

[distant obsidian]

Uh only if you let them lol. The range your at you can see if he's looking at you. Plus he will only shoot at you from a few select places.

[smoky scaffold]

i had some but i sold them all

[thorn token]

Damn

[smoky scaffold]

doing a zero to hero run and i got a rb-bk marked room key

[distant obsidian]

Maybe once every so often, but you just snipe them to

[thorn token]

Lvl 10 so you sold them to therapist too shit

[distant obsidian]

Use a long barrel for gluy and what ever other gun for pmcs

[smoky scaffold]

all i have right now is the yellow keycard

[thorn token]

They kept consistently spawning at K buildings 🙁

SBIH was a bitch

[distant obsidian]

Quick reset then. Just dip

[lavish grotto]

sniping kinda boring in pve, maybe if ai moved more

[distant obsidian]

Sniping is chill.

[thorn token]

Yellow is good for money

[lavish grotto]

i like sniping in pvp but no real fun in it for pve

[thorn token]

Plus you can find the gpsa or the mcc there

[smoky scaffold]

should i run labs right now for it you think

[thorn token]

If you can run it in combo with another task sure

[distant obsidian]

I find those more commonly in free areas

[thorn token]

So you don’t use up a keycard

Res room is also free

[hazy moss]

why do i have the urge to run a FAL in labry

[distant obsidian]

Ew

[hazy moss]

FAL hate is unjustified

[cursive sky]

A black keycard from dorms, don't mind if I do

[distant obsidian]

Sal is trash. It's very justified.

Shit ergo and recoil control lol

[hazy moss]

interesting argument, however, 700rpm of 7.62x51

[distant obsidian]

Still low.

Rd is better at that point

[spiral pecan]

fal still has a special place in my heart

[distant obsidian]

Same reason the HK is just shit. It's 50 better rpm isn't enough to make up for the fact the gun blows

[spiral pecan]

short hk416s aren't that bad

need all the rpm you can get if ur gonna use ssa

[distant obsidian]

Still far inferior to any good m4 build

[fervent peak]

me who still uses an HK

[distant obsidian]

Can still use it for sure.

[kindred leaf]

Yo so like, can I get any help or no

[raw nest]

no

[distant obsidian]

Nice and vague. So my answer is no

[fervent peak]

Requires context

[young frost]

do it do it do it do it do it do it

[kindred leaf]

Alright, I'll give context. I'm trying to do the BTR questline, but it's been three days and the BTR hasn't given me a task. I'm looking on the Wiki and everywhere to try to figure out what all the prerequisite tasks are. I've completed all of them, and nothing is showing. And I need it to do the main story. The last task that I completed was Natural Exchange.

[raw nest]

Prapor has a task

[kindred leaf]

I'm level fifty three, and I almost have kappa unlocked.I've like three more streamer items to find

[distant obsidian]

Next task is from prapor

[fervent peak]

Hold up, lemme check that task

[distant obsidian]

Not the btr

[raw nest]

If you had not failed the hot wheels
if you did then ragman

[distant obsidian]

Unless you failed hot wheels

[kindred leaf]

The only task I have is to escort half-empty "Art of Explosion" tickets. Please capture outposts.

[distant obsidian]

So you failed hot wheels?

[kindred leaf]

No?

It was easy it's reserved

[distant obsidian]

Then it's a task from ragman

[fervent peak]

Prapor's 'Forge a Friendship' or Ragman 'Another Shipping Delay'

[kindred leaf]

I have forgive friendship completed

Forge

[idle summit]

first priest down

they are so easy lol

[fervent peak]

Next is Prapor 'Half-Empty'

[kindred leaf]

Awwwww

[idle summit]

HE HAD A 314, RB-BK AND PLKHIM!!!!!

[fervent peak]

The wiki has a link that leads into the next task line my guy

[kindred leaf]

Okay, that makes sense.I have that task

[raw nest]

Good stuff

[worthy otter]

[idle summit]

YES

[raw nest]

[distant obsidian]

All that info was right from the wiki

[raw nest]

Yup

[cursive sky]

Wiki would've given you this answer 3 days ago just saying

[idle summit]

tarkov must feel bad for me after swallowing my stuff

[distant obsidian]

Yeah lol

Use the wiki

Also don't break the rules

[fervent peak]

I would not use that site tbh, it's not as accurate

[distant obsidian]

[kindred leaf]

Who deleted my message

[cursive sky]

Mods

[distant obsidian]

You broken the rules

[kindred leaf]

What

[distant obsidian]

Be happy they only deleted it

#rules maybes brush up on them

No talk about TOS websites at all

[kindred leaf]

What rules did I break?

Oh, I thought it was connected to Turkov. That's the only reason why I mentioned it.

[fervent peak]

Anything outside of the wiki is not directly connected to Tarkov.

[distant obsidian]

It's a data mining site and against TOS

[kindred leaf]

Ooh-

I should probably stop using it then

[distant obsidian]

Wiki isn't connected either. But it doesn't data mine so it's fine

[light root]

where the goons at

[kindred leaf]

Customs right now

[light root]

ty

[kindred leaf]

Of course

[fervent peak]

Three more labs raids to burn down this green card...

[distant obsidian]

Lol

[cursive sky]

Before you craft it?

[fervent peak]

I ain't payin 2 mil for a 1 use for a craft >.>

[kindred leaf]

Have any of you ever found a black keycard in green?

[idle summit]

never

[distant obsidian]

Lul

[raw nest]

Ask Tyreall where he finds his

[cursive sky]

I was too lazy and just crafted my 4/10 Green lmao

[distant obsidian]

I've found a few blacks in green yeah

Think I've found 4 blacks this wipe alone, and I bought another one.

Maybe it's 3 fir

[cursive sky]

Haven't bought a single key card this wipe, all self found/scav case gambling/cultist circle

[light root]

acid green is rarest item in game, no?

[idle summit]

[distant obsidian]

Probably yeah

I don't think they are even in marked rooms atm

[golden thorn]

ive only seen that key once in raid

[twilit heath]

ive found 2 purples and RB-VO, all my other shit was from cultist circle or i bought it

[light root]

if you wanna get rusted bloody, loot scavs on streets

[idle summit]

[distant obsidian]

I almost never look.

[idle summit]

[golden thorn]
