pve-chat

[indigo knoll]

i want that black armor bro it looks so good

ive also heard nikita is thinking abt making them roam like the goons?

[gusty whale]

Idk about like goons, but confirmed they'll be killable on other maps or maybe the new boat, not 100% myself where

[indigo knoll]

i just wanna loot them tbh, their kit looks sick and i like the white phosphorus nods they have

[gusty whale]

Ye the nvgs are very nice

[indigo knoll]

also wtf are they feeding rogues bro i was fighting 3 on lh and they headshot me 3 TIMES, if i wasnt wearing my rys i would be dead

[gusty whale]

Haha, I'd rather them be too lethal than braindead though

[indigo knoll]

real, they're fun to fight

from what ive seen from black division they are more kitted than the goons in terms of ammo they run (similar to cultists) and better armor however they have considerably less hp than them

[gusty whale]

Feel bad for BSG, pve is so hard to balance

[gusty whale]

They're basically the Halloween goons

[indigo knoll]

felt, tho at least its pve so balance is less critical ig

like ofc balance is important but since we arent really competing with each other it matters much less

there's no player competition so there's no like massive meta shifts that we have to fuck with

i can run a mogadishu kit M16 or an afghan war kit and be fine lol

[gusty whale]

Sure, only cost is how fun the game is on the extreme ends of skill level

[raw nest]

They have infinite number of grenades btw

[gusty whale]

Learnt this the hard way

[indigo knoll]

insane, cant wait to get mortar striked

do they just keep fucking throwing if you dont push

[raw nest]

When you hear a nade from them back up

[gusty whale]

Yep

[indigo knoll]

WILD

[gusty whale]

Got caught at one spot for >10 mins as every time I tried to push I had to run back

They don't usually use nades much though

[raw nest]

Only ones in ||Black Division keycard spawn || in my experience threw nades

[gusty whale]

Same for me

But boy did they throw them

[indigo knoll]

honestly i hate black kits esp in irl (my brother does airsoft and occasionally drags me along) and by extension im not a huge fan of them in games, but black division design did it right and its one of the times it makes sense

they are in essence very cracked private security and corpo death squad from the lore implications

[raw nest]

Yea really like their design

[indigo knoll]

i like hit its not all black too lol

there's highlights, accents etc

and also dark camo mixed in instead of just a flat black uniform (those are genuinely lame asf)

[raw nest]

The skis on the backpack are nice accent

[indigo knoll]

unless you're 80s SAS

i want their gas mask broo

[raw nest]

their nvgs are cool

and backpacks

[indigo knoll]

no protection compared to death shadow but id run it anyway and its helmet compatible

id run that shit under a rys

[raw nest]

I had stopped running deathshadow for drip

[formal fractal]

Talking a about raping people, please mods do something… @honest eagle

[indigo knoll]

???

[raw nest]

#discord-mod-mail

send a clip of him and neccesary details

[indigo knoll]

oh ingame i was like wtf

[raw nest]

they are not going to help you through chat

[raw nest]

on chitchat vc I believe

[indigo knoll]

in public server is insane some people dont know how to talk socially istg

[indigo knoll]

their backpacks are SICK

the modular 45 is an awkward size but its very drippy

[raw nest]

Would go really hard if we could get them

[indigo knoll]

idk why it has a tripod tho lol

the NICE load sling pack is cool but its 7 kilos

[marble bronze]

For shooting off of.

[raw nest]

bipod is goated irl

[indigo knoll]

i guess that makes sense for a sniper tho in cqc map like terminal it kinda sucks to have all that metal on ur pack ig

[indigo knoll]

real

[brittle merlin]

Do the Ai pmcs get harder the more you level up, anyone know?

[raw nest]

Wish we could customize some parts of the equipment like mags

[marble bronze]

Most tripods for that use case are carbon fiber and aluminum. They can be reasonably light

[raw nest]

Not really

[indigo knoll]

oh valid, tho this geen one looks like its made of steel lol

[marble bronze]

Spray paint go brr

[raw nest]

I would also like to paint me guns different colour

[waxen vapor]

question if i die in action and a freind died to with my gear to i lost it or do the come back

[indigo knoll]

god the Siege MASS carrier is wild as its the only heavy armor with integrated rig, its a wild rig too it has a 2x6, a 1x4, and 3 1x3

[raw nest]

yea

[indigo knoll]

tru i didnt think of that...

[marble bronze]

Should come back

[raw nest]

it would go hard with m60 kit

or heavy gunner

[indigo knoll]

last time i did assessment pt 1 i just ran up and down lh peninsula from orphanage to southern and vice versa, is that still the fastest way to get it done

i hate lighthouse kill quests they suck

[sage marsh]

Sadly yes

Run from the house thru the chalets and back

[indigo knoll]

bro ANY kit would look sick with that, i was thinking RPK with the drums and long banana mags

[indigo knoll]

sj6 stonks go up

[sage marsh]

And check LK bridge houses

[indigo knoll]

when you repair rys-t face shield btw do the bullet holes go away or naw

[sage marsh]

No

Once its starfished. You replace it

[raw nest]

better to replace than pray for repair

[indigo knoll]

yeah i figured, i thought it would eventually but sadly no

having a face shield at 50/55 and unusable is sad lol

btw why is the rys-t a ragman barter what quest unlocks it, it doesnt say so on the wiki

ik there's the sledgehammer craft

[alpine vigil]

guys for theta container, do i turn the evidence of champs body to ref or fence and why

[fervent peak]

Doesn't matter, all of those tasks end with getting a theta

[raw nest]

Ref rep helps with getting him higher level so he's my choice

[loud raptor]

Yeah when you complete all ref tasks you will be ref 3 so you should turn it to ref to get it closer to level 4 so you have less tasks to do in arena

[stoic star]

bruhh so the chalet area has a wide area for killing those 12 scavs but you're telling me the tennis court is off limits? bs man

[marble bronze]

Just make em come up

Agro em and then run away

[stoic star]

that works like 50% of the time for me

but i only saw one and i didnt know the courts didnt count so hes just laying there

[compact folio]

[forest patio]

Insurance recovered everything from my three losses last night… EXCEPT my g28 that I cared about the most lmao

[inland badge]

Is anyone else having issues with tarkov ? I go in a raid. And it keeps telling my progress un able to safe

[stoic star]

[stoic star]

[compact folio]

[earnest steppe]

[marble bronze]

Knight?

[marble bronze]

[smoky scaffold]

[earnest steppe]

Better?

[marble bronze]

Cringe

[smoky scaffold]

[marble bronze]

Did you forget to use PS12B

[smoky scaffold]

yeahhhh…

[marble bronze]

That'll do it

[smoky scaffold]

either way this kit is 30kg

[marble bronze]

Do you even lift bro?

[smoky scaffold]

strength 0

[marble bronze]

Timmy legs, RIP

[wet summit]

Helo, why I have a warning icon on my task tab? Something similar also on Character tab

[astral kindle]

Bug from latest patch

[wet summit]

Thx

[indigo knoll]

what the hell bro how are mercs on lighthouse so cracked

they blacked my arm and just kept shooting it there, no hits to plates or anything from like 70m away

I DIED TO RIP AMMO AT THAT RANGE???

[astral kindle]

Rouges? Yeah thats kinda normal for them

[indigo knoll]

😭

[indigo knoll]

no normal pmcs on the road

[astral kindle]

Most annoying part is when they use suppressors and you have no idea where because you missed 1 shot

[astral kindle]

Oh? Interesting

[indigo knoll]

im full hp, my arm gets blacked, and my entire body is at 20% total hp everywhere

what kinda oppenheimer ass calculations are they using to hit me with rip slugs from another fucking zip code bro

[astral kindle]

Yeah blacked limb damage spreads and rips deals ridicilous damage

[indigo knoll]

i popped stims and it wasnt enough

they just armed me to death

ever since the patch before the most recent one scavs have been doing it too and ive almost died to scavs just straight lasering the same blacked arm

ive had a scav straight up magdump my leg with buckshot it was wild

[short flume]

how many rogues are there usually

[indigo knoll]

at wtp its usually between 5-8 for me

[short flume]

my friend and I ran a few times and i think the first 3 times there were only 2-4...

[indigo knoll]

5 most of the time

today it was 8, 5 on the rooftops and 3 inside one of the buildings

[short flume]

ok pretty funny but the one time there was actually some rogues my friend got blasted

[indigo knoll]

but its rare

[short flume]

i think that one where my friend got blasted there was 8

[loud lance]

Pretty often the Goons are there, and AIs are prone to walk on minefield. So not rare that 1-2 will be dead in a minefield

Especially that South-East corner from my experience. If they push you.

[little willow]

does tagged and cursed apply for ai pmcs

im tired boss 2/6 progress on secured perimeter

[loud lance]

I don't know, but would doubt it tbh.

[indigo knoll]

i dont think so

secured perimeter you just have to raw dog it and keep hitting the offices while praying they spawn

at least they usually spawn in threes for me

you can also bait them in from gate 3 or catwalk stairs but its unreliable

[little willow]

alfonso im so tired of running factory

[indigo knoll]

truth nuke

[little willow]

im tired boss the entire huntsman path tree is locked behind this ONE quest

[indigo knoll]

im still mad i got limb killed by rip rounds at 70 meters away bro wtf are they feeding these usecs

[loud lance]

Is that the first quest to secure perimeter ?

[indigo knoll]

like i got hit in the same arm multiple times by a dude running a gun that has 10 moa

[little willow]

secured perimeter unlocks:
The Huntsman Path - Trophy
The Huntsman Path - Justice
The Huntsman Path - Woods Keeper
The Huntsman Path - Forest Cleaning
The Huntsman Path - Eraser - Part 2

and its also a kappa required quest

[indigo knoll]

yer one of the most annoying on pve ngl

that, punisher 4, and setup suck

[little willow]

[digital dune]

Eh only one that's a pain is secure preimeter.

[loud lance]

I think I did it pretty "easily", almost 1 PMC per raid. You know this include the 3 stories ?

[digital dune]

Don't like how pmcs avoid the office.

[indigo knoll]

istg they're not programmed to follow u in

[digital dune]

I mean they will sometimes but you gotta f with them for awhile.

[little willow]

it includes the basement area too

pmcs just avoid that WHOLE AREA ENTIRELY

[digital dune]

You can rage bait them.

[little willow]

i want to know how to lure in pmcs

[loud lance]

Yeah, I never even tried to lure them.. they were passing by often, chasing Tagilla or whatever

[little willow]

tagilla came in before any pmc and i had to deal with a horde of scavs under heavy bleed after i killed him

[loud lance]

Basement... it's a no no zone for me. Nothing good there

[digital dune]

I shoot them in the leg or if they got good armor in the chest and retreat while spamming f1.

repeat till they die and maybe one of their buddies will chase.

[little willow]

extreme ragebait

but why the leg that blacks out or fractures them

cant sprint towards you

[digital dune]

Slow doesn't mean stop.

[little willow]

and theyre prolly gonna focus on healing

too much ragebait

[digital dune]

Plus can't risk the chest shot killing them if you can help it.

Especially if you got good pen rounds.

[loud lance]

I just run from the Courtyard, from office to bathroom. Close the doors and listen for them. Nothing really special that I did.

F1 never worked for me.

[digital dune]

Tbf it probably didn't work for me they were just mad at getting shot or a homie dying.

[loud lance]

They really lack a push mode IMO.

[digital dune]

Hardest part is they'll sit outside floor 1 near gate 3 and they'll be tempted to extract instead of enter.

[loud lance]

We need some Killa PMC type chad

[digital dune]

Oh you mean PMC type bosses for pve?

Honestly doubt they'll add that since it wouldn't be added to pvp.

[loud lance]

Just PMC that hunt us like Killa does

[digital dune]

They wierd like that.

[loud lance]

I never got pushed by a PMC... they are close to be worse than Elite Scavs tbh

[digital dune]

They push for me just not often enough like a squad would/should.

[loud lance]

They should remove PMC AIs and replace their behavior by any other Raiders, Guards, etc. whatever

[digital dune]

They use to do that then people complained they were too hard and here we are today.

Now they're a wet diaper.

[loud lance]

BSG giving stats about having more PvE players that Escaped from Tarkov... WOW. CRAZY lol.

[indigo knoll]

im getting beamed on lighthouse on the same limb with flesh ammo, istg lighthouse mercs are built different

[digital dune]

Yeah it's alot easier without the rats and campers.

More people play pve too from what i hear.

[alpine vigil]

what is an elite scav

[loud lance]

And the decent players. Lucky there is at least bosses to "slow" us down / put us back in our place

[alpine vigil]

what do the elite scavs do differently

[digital dune]

They are just a scav but difficulty turned up.

[loud lance]

Elite stuff... usually better everything

[worn flame]

Guys , i just spawn into a 10 min raid in Customs wtf ???

[civic orbit]

Im currently getting fucked up on Lighthouse trying to do Punisher pt4.😭💀

[loud lance]

Elite scavs also shout less... you get hit without any voiceline often

[loud lance]

lol PvP ?

[worn flame]

No pve ???

[loud lance]

Or that's how BSG make the server start faster.. already 20 mins running lol

[digital dune]

#eft-announcements message

[loud lance]

As what btw ? PMC or Scav ?

[worn flame]

oh

ahahah

[worn flame]

pmc

[loud lance]

Well, if it was during the update, that doesn't matter.

[neat spoke]

Anyone having lags with BAckend?

[loud lance]

Wtf that means ? "Fixed an issue where it was sometimes impossible to turn in tasks while in raid." Turning tasks while IN-RAID ? Some Lightkeeper things ?

[marble bronze]

Or BTR

[loud lance]

Ok, yeah.
Make sense thanks

[alpine vigil]

guys i finished all the quests for ref from arena, how do i get the gladiator sword

[latent void]

5 lega barter

[forest depot]

Does anyone know what's happened with the "To Great Hights" questline? I was on part 4 and now it's not on my task list and none of the other parts I already done are not there either 😕

[alpine vigil]

i dont see it

[mellow frost]

haven’t played in a while. are we still not able to buy good ammo off the flea market?

[latent void]

Try restarting game and reset cache, that fixed it for me about 2 months back

[worthy otter]

Read the Arena patch notes

[alpine vigil]

i tried it didnt work ;-; rip

[faint sparrow]

oh my fucking god nikita fix your fucking servers

they get worse with every update

[iron storm]

anyone else having the game crash anytime they load a raid? faster raid loading my ass

[faint sparrow]

i get server connection lost even tho my fucking wifi is fine

[iron storm]

yeah

[faint sparrow]

i hate the fat man

[iron storm]

i get fatal error, game insta crash or server connection loss

[faint sparrow]

fat man fuck you

[faint sparrow]

they make it worse with every update

[iron storm]

yeah they do, im just tryna enjoy the game can they just roll back the changes

[faint sparrow]

i thought they did something right when it loaded me into raid with 5 minutes

server connection lost

3 minutes recconect, 20% map

server connection lost

[iron storm]

yeah i got into raid quicker once. but every raid after that ive waited 15-20 min to load in only to crash then wait another 10 to launch and get back into the raid load

it aint a pc issue either its a bsg issue

[faint sparrow]

this game is actually so fucking shit, everytime i try to play with friends its either server connection lost or 50% packet loss for 5 minutes and then kicked

lost 3 kits on labs because of that

[iron storm]

i cant sprint in raid without getting stuck in a lag back loop

[distant obsidian]

[faint sparrow]

this whole game needs to be made from scratch

but it will take another 200 years

[distant obsidian]

Well, get to it!

[faint sparrow]

thats bsgs job not mine

1.0 ready btw

[distant obsidian]

If it's their job .. then they decide if it does. Not you.

[iron storm]

they just need to rollback this last update

[faint sparrow]

and the one before

[iron storm]

the one before was fine

[distant obsidian]

[iron storm]

just this one. it broke their servers

[faint sparrow]

it all broke for me 2 updates ago

couldnt even load into factory for fucks sake

7 minutes

[distant obsidian]

Meanwhile the vast majority is fine. Sounds like a you issue.

[faint sparrow]

for factory when its 2 on local

[faint sparrow]

then why does the game work fine on local games, only bsg server raids dont work?

[indigo knoll]

im ngl its not just a him issue the servers have been wack recently

[faint sparrow]

every other game i get stable 20 ping

[indigo knoll]

locally hosted i have no problem but when i play with friends it stutters and disconnects more often now

[distant obsidian]

Moving on from this bitchfest, how are we enjoying the new gun builds?

[indigo knoll]

bitchfest is wild coming from the person who has said some strange things before but regardless its valid criticism, idgaf if it's bsg's job, if they're doing a shit job they should know...

[civic orbit]

I stg they removed pmcs from Lighthouse.😭

[indigo knoll]

they did not, i ran into nine rn

lmao ur mercs were on vacation

[distant obsidian]

I don't care how valid it is lol. Crying like little babies here doesn't fix anything.

[iron storm]

personally i havent knoticed a difference ingame yet with the weapon changes. i see the stats changed but its all the same to me

[civic orbit]

They did for me.😭 5 raids and found none. They don't want me finishing Punisher p4. 🙁

[indigo knoll]

"crying like babies" and it's just people asking if they have the same problems lmfao ok bro

[distant obsidian]

Yeah, I think that was the general idea. It's a good thing.

[faint sparrow]

71 ping 29% packet loss, looks like i wont do punisher pt5 today

[iron storm]

im happy they fucked with the meta slaves tho

[civic orbit]

Must be. I'm just getting scavs.

[distant obsidian]

You and I were not reading the same chat then lol.

[distant obsidian]

Meta is still meta. Just changed.

[iron storm]

tru

[distant obsidian]

I have the new meta m4 and I like it.

But the difference between this and something lesser isn't as much anymore. But with all the hidden stats, lesser builds will still feel worse

Just not as bad as before. Plus you can use cool new parts

[indigo knoll]

i havent really felt much changes tbh recoild wise or handling wise, i just thought the change was unneccesary

[iron storm]

ive never built guns to be metta. ive always built for looks

[distant obsidian]

It was very necessary. The variance in guns was to much

[indigo knoll]

biggest "differrence" is that the BMD is no longer worth it as the red 762 is just better for like 1/3 the price lmao

[distant obsidian]

Swapping out a forgrips IRL doesn't actually change your ergonomics on a gun that much. It's mostly preference IRL and it's more reflected like that in game

Same with a pistol grip, minus the low quality outliers.

[indigo knoll]

unironically tho bsg did make some changes to make it more abt looks and the "meta" builds look shittier than the previous

[distant obsidian]

Bottom line is parts in a gun effect it a lot less irl. Which is now closer reflected in game. That's a W

[indigo knoll]

which i find funny

[distant obsidian]

Idk, cqr meta m4 looks nice still

Crq without a can. Still looks good

[indigo knoll]

nah i mean the stock, the ACE socom with pad

[distant obsidian]

That's not meta

[iron storm]

eh

[distant obsidian]

Cqr is meta for anything that can use it

[indigo knoll]

it feels like the best ngl, it sacrifices the least ergo for the most recoil (at like a 1-2 difference) on the nl545

[distant obsidian]

Moe is meta on the NL

It can't take a cqr

Unless your talking max recoil builds. But almost no one builds those types

Meta guns are a balance between ergo recoil and Evo ergo

Hence why the Moe is second meta outside of the cqr

[indigo knoll]

ergo on a stock nl545 is 51 to 66 recoil

Ergo on the ace socom with pad is 57.3 to 65

[distant obsidian]

Evo ergo

The weight is a very large factor

[ebon cobalt]

[iron storm]

meta is the worst way to play tarkov

[indigo knoll]

does 0.2kg really matter its not noticeable at all

[iron storm]

real

[indigo knoll]

for the stock

[distant obsidian]

People enjoy playing tarkov in different ways. There is no "worse" way to play.

Let people enjoy the way they want to play.

[indigo knoll]

i mean yeah im not arguing that at all lmao

[distant obsidian]

If they love to min max to the extreme and it's fun for them? Nothing wrong with that

[indigo knoll]

im just saying isnt socom just objectively better than moe

its like zhukov for ars now

[distant obsidian]

But about the .2kg. It does actually mean a lot. Evo ergo is the ergo after weight modifiers and stuff. It's a hidden stats

[indigo knoll]

sure on paper but 99% of the time you wont notice it in gunfights with the ai

[distant obsidian]

Check out gigabeefs new vid. He links the website and breaks it down.

No, but when we are talking about absolute meta, it does matter.

[marsh wing]

oh god, more changes coming

[distant obsidian]

But as you said, will it actually matter in game? Likely not. But we are not talking about in game. Purely numbers on a page

[marsh wing]

they doing barrels and handguards next

[cinder lark]

there is no patchnote for .43455?

[marble bronze]

Problem where?

[distant obsidian]

O fuck yeah, more gun changes coming!!!!

[swift path]

As usual, they didn't care to realize their decision made the game worse

[indigo knoll]

i mean sure but even then 6 ergo is a big difference no

[distant obsidian]

better

[marsh wing]

they literally said they are paying attention to community feedback

also they will be raising base stats of certain guns

[distant obsidian]

Changes to attachments is amazing.

[cinder lark]

Saying something doesn't mean they did it teh

[marble bronze]

Not really. Noticeable, maybe, but not a big difference

[forest patio]

Didn’t realize until the post just now that certain rounds were adjusted as well. I swear if 7.62 nato was made even worse then I’m not boss hunting anymore lmao

[marsh wing]

i honestly have no issue with the gun changes

[indigo knoll]

i dont mind recoil going up as i play games with much worse recoil

tho i wanna see what they did this time

[marble bronze]

Real gamers hunt bosses with ash12 anyway.

[swift path]

Amazing like you need to do a quest to be able to buy something worse with a higher price?

[indigo knoll]

idgaf about the customization changes as long as they dont fuck with the server connection

[marsh wing]

nothinf today, this is just an announcement

[indigo knoll]

ah

[forest patio]

Sure

[cinder lark]

sad, but @marble bronze YELL YEAH ASH12 FOR THE WIN

[swift path]

Or amazing like overall every gun that needs mods is worsen

[marsh wing]

#eft-announcements message
Go read it

[indigo knoll]

killa vs thermobaric launcher

[distant obsidian]

That sentence makes no sense. But if your annoyed by everything, you do you. I am loving this

[marble bronze]

I mean I'll fling a RPG at him, hell yeah

[indigo knoll]

im ngl the biggest complaint ive seen with the changes is gunsmith not working anymore bc they didnt fucking think at all how it would be affected lmao

[swift path]

You do know you need to unlock rk5 right?

[distant obsidian]

Lol, people are going to get upset you told them to read

[swift path]

Actually, never mind

[marsh wing]

Dude, i made the last 4 guns the DAY BEFORE THE UPDATE

[indigo knoll]

bro making up scenarios now, no one gaf about him dropping a link lol it just dropped rn

[distant obsidian]

Haha just in time.

[indigo knoll]

i just did gunsmith 22 before the update i am very glad i did

[marsh wing]

i made them so they were ready for the quests when they popped up

[marble bronze]

Like 21-25?

[marsh wing]

i went to turn in the M4 yesterday and said "Fuckkkkk"

[cinder lark]

i struggled so hard with gunsmith 17 because of theses updates 😄

[marsh wing]

22-25

[marble bronze]

Shit those don't even matter 😂

[indigo knoll]

but yeah i agree if the locked attachments take a while/effort to unlock they should be good at least

[marsh wing]

i decided i would just get them ready since i had the funds

[indigo knoll]

like red ARE should have kept its accuracy mod

[marsh wing]

they do when i have to go through and rebuild them lol

[marble bronze]

Hard disagree

[marsh wing]

but honestly, think about it

[runic ferry]

did anyone else see that servers are shutting down, temporarily im assuming ? sorry if anyone has already discussed this\

[marsh wing]

how the fuck does it being red increase the guns accuracy?

[indigo knoll]

other stuff should have better recoil control sure but red ARE can keep it because if you're gonna pay 300k for a fucking buffer tube it should be fine lmao

[cinder lark]

its red, its better 😄

[indigo knoll]

red makes boolets go faster

[marsh wing]

i need more boolets

[indigo knoll]

dont you know painting red makes things go faster

[distant obsidian]

Red is faster

[marsh wing]

it wasnt even painted red, it was anodized lol

[indigo knoll]

close enough

its red thats what matters

[marble bronze]

Conversely, why would you pay stupid prices for a red buffer tube that has no stat benefit

[marsh wing]

either way, im having fun building bases and BOATS in rust

[indigo knoll]

i just disconnected on LH again after stuttering like michael jackson moonwalking bro

i decide to host bsg

should not do that solo LMAO

[indigo zenith]

cuz in pve, you get em back

[indigo knoll]

i mean red are is not expensive now tbf

[marsh wing]

400k per tube before update

[indigo knoll]

it was only that expensive bc it was (kinda) rare and had 5% accuracy

[marsh wing]

nah 10 acc

[indigo knoll]

it was nice for worst/best job in the world

10 damn i forgor

[marble bronze]

Reread what I posted and now what you responded with

[indigo knoll]

i ran it on exactly one gun

[marsh wing]

now its just a normal tube and i think there are better ones again

[marble bronze]

Good

[distant obsidian]

Are is still the best

[marble bronze]

Red only belongs on trash tier first time builder ARs anyway 😂

[distant obsidian]

Now you just pick black or red

[indigo knoll]

red was nice for precision build ars for fun ngl

and also ima be real i do not like the cqr lookswise, ive handled it irl too its so weird

it only looks good in tandem with cqr grip imo like tomorrow war build

with a normal grip that shit looks unnatural 😭

a thumbhole stock on an AR feels wrong

[forest patio]

I personally want a more realistic balance of attachments and the silencers and brakes absolutely is not that

[distant obsidian]

Red might still be better. Red used to have hidden stats. Have to check some forbidden sites to find out

[indigo zenith]

did it lose its ever so slight buff over the normal variant? if it's still slightly better, I think my point still stands

[marsh wing]

good news, didnt have to change the mutant for 23

build stayed the same

[indigo knoll]

lowkey i felt like the difference between suppressors and muzzle brakes should have been bigger like they said it would be

its barely any difference

[cinder lark]

Suppressors also are useless imo

[marsh wing]

yeah, ive decided im done using suppressors

[forest patio]

But it’s not at all true to real life

[distant obsidian]

In PvE. PvP they are still very useful.

[cinder lark]

Loosing 30 ergo because you decided to look a bit sneaky, bruh no thx i prefer the MEGA LOUD WAY 😄

[marsh wing]

yeah, and dura burn is fucking wild

[indigo knoll]

when running the thunder beast suppressor vs cqb 556 muzzle its barely any difference, and running suppressor is just worse now bc of dura burn

[distant obsidian]

Yeah I do t use a suppressor anymore except on the spear

[distant obsidian]

That's the trade off for a quieter weapon. That's the point

[latent void]

You must strive to be louder than the boss themselves

[distant obsidian]

Spear so far is the only gun that can use a can still properly.

Or well, it's better to use it still

[indigo zenith]

spear without its original suppressor looks cursed

[plain turret]

now mthey are gonna fuck up handguards and barrels

[ashen anchor]

do these things called Cultists even exist man i cant find them

[marsh wing]

but they also gonna up the base stats of some weaker guns

i wonder if they gonna up the base of NL545

[indigo knoll]

i mean sure but they did say they wanted to make muzzle brakes better, they are ergo wise i guess but recoil wise its not that much of a difference, like PVP players will still use suppressor bc of how good it is and there's less inclination to use muzzle

in pve it matters less

[marsh wing]

i doubt it. Im sure they are trying to take it out of meta

i would not be suprised if they target M4 next

[plain turret]

i won't trust them to do that. Instead of making the worst stuff better, they made the good stuff considerably worse

[vernal spruce]

Lighthouse ?

[distant obsidian]

Yeah, it's just more of a penalty to use a suppressor now. Thats the point

[sonic mantle]

Would anyone be down to teach me the ropes and play PVE with me and wipe our accounts?

[distant obsidian]

??sherpa

[quasi apex]

Sherpas are players who help beginners study the main game features and improve their skills to survive the harsh Tarkov environment. This difficult and honorable task falls on the shoulders of the most friendly, patient, and, of course, experienced Tarkov citizens.

Sherpas are volunteers who dedicate their time not only by teaching others but also studying Tarkov themselves, adding to their knowledge of the game. Selfless aid to new players greatly contributes to the growth of the Escape from Tarkov community.
When teaching beginners, Sherpas rely on their preferences in the game: location, weapons, equipment, tactical moves, and their unique gaming experience.

??sherpahub
#sherpa-info

[marsh wing]

try out #pve-lfg too

[indigo knoll]

also the recoil stat on guns with already high recoil indirectly got cooked, mdr, rfb, and mk47 are a bit more bouncy, not that big of a deal but its def the most noticeable

mdr went up in recoil like by 20

[marsh wing]

ooh, 2 mpx gave me air filter and san tape

[distant obsidian]

That's why they are working on it on.

Or mentioned it needs some love with other guns

[fervent peak]

I'm still pretty set on bringing a PKP into terminal when the time comes, but I have to check how the M60 is holding up

[distant obsidian]

Like, people are so over reacting here. They are rolling out changes and tweeking what needs fixing people. Have a little patience lol

[marsh wing]

not everyone, but some people need to realize that they cant just change everything overnight. Gun changes are a slow and tedious process that require a LOT of work and community feedback

[indigo knoll]

honestly i feel like no ones gonna gaf about using suppressor in pvp regardless of the penalty they will use it anyway, and in pve on guns where you can buy cheap lower reciever like m4, mcx, x-17 there's no reason to just repair every raid and replace it every 2-3 lol

[distant obsidian]

Yeah not everyone of course. But some are just losing their minds.

[indigo zenith]

I haven't checked out the weapon nerfs, but I don't think the impact is that massive honestly. We had worse recoils than this like 3 years ago

[marsh wing]

this is how devs should be changing guns, not doing massive changes and ruining everything with one update

[distant obsidian]

O yeah I am with you.

[indigo knoll]

i feel like their intent was good with the changes yes, but it doesnt really do much while also changing everything regardless

[marsh wing]

ive seen too many studios make drastic changes that ruin weapons that it then takes them months to roll back

[fervent peak]

There's very few instances where changes are perfection in one go, if it does land, great! If not, give em a chance to tweak

[distant obsidian]

Mhm

So far it's been good, but obviously more to go

[indigo knoll]

i agree meta needs to change but imo muzzle brakes need to be a little better than just "it doesnt tank ur ergo"

if they wil make these changes, at least if they want them to be this impactful

[indigo zenith]

Did they reduce the gap between meta parts vs non meta? Cuz if so, that'd be a good change in my note

[fervent peak]

I pray to the tarkov gods that they tone down that muzzle flash though, good god

[indigo knoll]

i mean there's just new meta ig but yes

[indigo knoll]

bro its so bright even with supressor sometimes lmao

[indigo zenith]

I'm just sick of using se-5 on all of my guns

[indigo knoll]

unironic truth nuke

i dislike that grip

i use cobra instead anyway

[indigo zenith]

there's tons of parts we can put. just give us purpose to use em aside from asthetic reasons

[indigo knoll]

hmm difference between spear using red 762 is 57.5 ergo / 68 recoil, and suppressor is 49.5/69

[modern veldt]

WTF is up with the most recent update? I started a match as PMC and had 8 mins to extract???

[indigo knoll]

one recoil reduction horizontal and 4 vertical for 15% heat and 68% more weapon burn, and 8 ergo reduction is meh if we're gonna minmax

[indigo knoll]

they were patching and so in progress raids went to 10 min, you prob loaded within 2 mins

on god tho the spear looks so cursed without the suppressor im ngl

[modern veldt]

is it fixed now?

[indigo zenith]

that's what I said

[indigo knoll]

ye i was agreeing with u lol

[marble bronze]

Pretty sure they're the same now.

[indigo zenith]

zero point to use then

[indigo knoll]

they did make a cqb oriented spear, the assaulter K

[indigo zenith]

I've only used the red buffers like thrice anyways

[indigo knoll]

assaulter K looks so cute and tiny lmao

if they add it ingame it would be cool

is there any way to run cqr front grip on m4? which handguard lets u

[brisk plank]

Uh, did BSG do something about timers for PvE? I wasn't even in a raid for 10 mins on Interchange before I got told it was less than 10 mins left

[indigo knoll]

they updated, all in progress raid went to 10min

[brisk plank]

Ah, that's fair

First time it happened to me, so was curious

[distant obsidian]

Yes, but the cqr forgrip is terrible now

[indigo knoll]

ik i just wanna build it for the drip

if i wanna run cqr stock ill run foregrip bc its the only way it appeals to me lol

is BA hanson still the best

[cinder lark]

i hope they change market bullets / box cuz rn its cursed...

[marble bronze]

Huh?

[vale atlas]

Oh thats nice they are considering improvements to unsuppressed muzzle flash

It only took them.... how long lol

[cinder lark]

Strugglin to have " good " bullets, like BT for the 5,45

[indigo knoll]

i miss when you could flea ammo ngl

[distant obsidian]

I think so? But the mk 16" might be slightly better with the hidden stats.

[vale atlas]

i wish i bought more when it was available lol

but finding good ammo isn't so bad once you know where to go looking

[distant obsidian]

But I think any difference is marginal

[marble bronze]

You can buy BT at Prapor 4 (lvl 36). 5.45 is also plentiful at ammo spawns

[spiral pecan]

who the fuck buys BT

[rain bloom]

you can also get BP easily from Kaban

[cinder lark]

90 yeh

[spiral pecan]

just farm it off reshela. you'll get a metric shit ton

[marble bronze]

People who want BT I guess lol

[thorn token]

for the ticket, the quest to kill dudes on interchange with the yellow flare, how many kills do i need

[marble bronze]

15 iirc

[compact folio]

guys, why does my big red dot scope doesnt scope anymore?
it doesnt make the magnify thing
its like scoping with big fow

[rain bloom]

in hideout?

[cinder lark]

bruh, they did something FPSwise ? i had 90+ on custom now i'm at 50 wtf ?

[fleet loom]

sometimes hideout is bugged

[compact folio]

Yes

[fleet loom]

it just forgets to zoom making ur eye relief look shit

[rain bloom]

hideout is buggy

[compact folio]

Oh ok

[rain bloom]

customs pov

[fleet loom]

wonder if theyll ever fix hideout nightvision

instead of just being the same but green

[oblique hearth]

hey guys, i just hopped on shoreline, just spawned in, and then the raid timer suddenly went down straight to 10 minutes?? i mean, ik this usually happens when they install an update, but it is not the case here

[distant obsidian]

#eft-announcements

[oblique hearth]

as i said, that is not the case. i already installed the update about 30 minutes ago

[fleet loom]

why even have those servers running at all?

10 minutes? thats so cooked

[vale atlas]

Gives you time to escape with your loot

[oblique hearth]

that's what im about dude. i barely extracted, had like, 7 seconds left

[marble bronze]

Enough time to leave

[fleet loom]

why even put me in the raid tho?

[thorn token]

it really is just time to leave before going MIA

[marble bronze]

If you were already in raid...

[vale atlas]

The game cant predict updates lol, or network changes. Its business as usual until a trigger g oes off saying "We're restarting servers" or some shit

[fleet loom]

7/11 has better management

[oblique hearth]

fr lol

[vale atlas]

Not a thing to get too upset over, its very unlikely to be a regular problem for you

Just look at it as another addition to the list of ways tarkov likes to be a pain in the ass

[thorn token]

brother it's just bad timing

[vale atlas]

It wont even faze you

[fleet loom]

phase

[vale atlas]

Jesse

[rancid lion]

james

[fleet loom]

just sayin

[vale atlas]

Easy mistake

[fleet loom]

we aint mlg here

[vale atlas]

Sometimes i get Their, there and they're switched around too.

[indigo knoll]

did the pkm have new attachments/options after 1.0 btw

[vale atlas]

Take me out back and put me down

[fleet loom]

old yeller

move along gramps the new generation is in

[vale atlas]

You kids dont know how good you have it with your fancy X stations and your Twitters

[fleet loom]

Twitters? jeez gramps ur old

[vale atlas]

Back in my day all we had was sticks and tubercolosis

[rancid lion]

speaking of, why doesn't my MRE come with cigarettes?

[vale atlas]

Do... modern real ones come with them?

[rancid lion]

not for a long time lol

[fleet loom]

name something more pointless than 8pc ammo boxes

[vale atlas]

Yeah that seems like it would piss off the health and safety police lol

[fleet loom]

why do these even exist

[vale atlas]

The single stacks of 9mm pp you can find in marked rooms

I'm sure you can get less than 8 in those lol

[rancid lion]

how long before the 2020 juice packs in game cause the toxic effect u think?

[fleet loom]

atleast u get a chance at more than.... 8

[rancid lion]

shit has to be getting chunky by now

[fleet loom]

the milk would be worse

[vale atlas]

I'm not really sure tbh, are these available real world? I dont buy a lot of ammunition lol. Maybe they're just small packs for testing things on a range?

[rancid lion]

the 8 packs are parts of the big tins irl

[vale atlas]

Ahh

[fleet loom]

yeah its pretty standard for 9x39

[rancid lion]

no idea y we can't have the big tins tbh

[fleet loom]

bullets are big. but cmon. just wastes space

[cinder lark]

holy jeez partizan was behind me i didn't know i did a looping on my chair wtf

[vale atlas]

It'll make sense to someone somewhere who makes decisions via committee lol

[ashen anchor]

people who are farming Cultists on Customs, do you guys do local or BSG? cuz i am doing local and havent seen them in 8 raids.... i need them twice for story smh

should i swap to BSG?

[faint radish]

they spawn both same rate

[fleet loom]

same rate dont matter

[vale atlas]

Stick with local, faster in and outs

[faint radish]

local always better imo

[vale atlas]

Well, faster ins.

[fleet loom]

they should ad 22.lr just cuz

[vale atlas]

22lr with tarkov logic wouldn't even pen skin

[rancid lion]

we already have the blicky

[ashen anchor]

if they spawn this raid and i die im gonna cry xD

[fleet loom]

gve me an american-180

my little beehive

[vale atlas]

.600 nitro or go home

[lost parrot]

wouldnt even pen a balaclava 😭

[fleet loom]

fine then maybe 22 mag?

[vale atlas]

No up next is 950 jdj

[lost parrot]

????

[vale atlas]

Honestly i love that round so much its fuckin absurd

[lost parrot]

isnt 600 nitro that elephant hunting gun cartridge

[vale atlas]

Yup

[lost parrot]

that single shot bolt action the size of a fucking toddler

[vale atlas]

Look up the 950 it makes the other look small, its hilarious

[rancid lion]

450 bushmaster would be kinda funny

[lost parrot]

WHAT THE FUCK

[vale atlas]

😂

F or when you absolutely have to drop a tyrannosaur maybe

[lost parrot]

IS THAT A 20MM CASE CUT DOWN 7/10 OF THE WAY

[fleet loom]

22 magnum. whats crazy about that

[lost parrot]

22 magnum.

[vale atlas]

It might as well be lol isn't it something

[cinder lark]

CheyTac !

[lost parrot]

oh magnum

[vale atlas]

I'm desperate to fire one i want to know how that feels

[lost parrot]

i thought you meant a 22.lr magazine LMAOOO

[vale atlas]

Or if my shoulder survives

[fleet loom]

oh lol

[lost parrot]

nah fam its getting vaporized

[rancid lion]

honestly surprised there's not .300 win mag

[vale atlas]

Yeah i remember the smaller 600 round spinning all those people who tried to fire it, videos were viral for a little while

950 would probably just take my shoulder off clean, like a hole punch lol

[rancid lion]

shit would pen the next server over

[fleet loom]

imagine if they added animals or some shit. nothing super crazy. jaeger givin u a quest to hunt him 3 boars or some shit

[vale atlas]

I'd go back to pvp for that. I'll be the whitest knight ever

[fleet loom]

give flesh ammo a bigger use

[vale atlas]

You leave the deer alone

[cinder lark]

imagine bsg doing something agaisn't cheater in pvp

[lethal garnet]

they do

[fleet loom]

every multiplayer game has cheaters

and they def do work on it

[idle summit]

man really, 5 pmcs in one raid on shoreline.... i barely see 3

[vale atlas]

Tarkov generally feels more ineffective because the results aren't exactly publicised regularly lol

[rancid lion]

make partizan invincible if u detect cheats

[fleet loom]

make partizan cheat

[vale atlas]

But i cant see t here being many more hackers here proportionally to the other places

[cinder lark]

fkin partizan tripwires, just died from this i forgot he do that U_U

[fleet loom]

there really isnt that many hackers from my experience.

just super sweats

[rancid lion]

i think him and jager bn but buddies is kinda cute

[cinder lark]

Yh, thoses players are a bit annoying, but can't rly do smthing about that, mostly why i don't play PvP in tarkov at least

[fleet loom]

theyre always f1s, sprint like

1 secona nd lie down

[fleet loom]

im like 90% sure the majority of hackusations are just a case of differing skill.

i dont really like pvp for the same reason, but i know they aint hacking im just ass

bro my cat wont get tf off my keyboard

[spiral pecan]

the kitty owns it

[vale atlas]

I mean, i've definitely encountered enough hackers that i quit tarkov until i found out they gave us a pve mode lol.

I dont mean the random one taps out of nowhere either, like verified, they should have had no info but knew where i was type things, the people who openly tell you they are cheating over voip etc

[spiral pecan]

my cat is either blocking my screen or ontop of my pc tower

[marble bronze]

It would be weaker than 338 and 50bmg which are already in the game

[cinder lark]

you litteraly are launched in the game without any info (if you don't know the game, just start as a newbie) and one dude killing from somewhere you don't know, with thermal, meta gun, good bullets and u are just like wtf happend ?

[vale atlas]

Yeah most people get those one taps, dont understand how anyone could know where they were and start complaining because it makes them feel like it wasn't their fault for loudly sprinting through the shoreline resort

or they're sprinting around at night with their pistol flashlight still on lmao

[fleet loom]

i really do miss the good interactions tho. took me like 5 attempts to get prapors watch when i was a noob and i accidentally transited to shoreline thinking it was an exit and some random pmc helped me leave

[vale atlas]

I dont think i had many, I'm in EU servers and for some reason i mostly match with exceptionally edgy french people

They like gamer words for the sake of being a gamer

[fleet loom]

well i mean... they are french

[cinder lark]

i'am too :d

[vale atlas]

I try not to hold it against them but they dont make it easy

[fleet loom]

and france has some.... history to say the least

[marsh wing]

guys, nikita just told me that he wont touch the guns anymore

[rancid lion]

would be a great intermediate between 7.62 NATO and .338 imo

[marble bronze]

Seems wildly unnecessary, just like 300winmag IRL.

[fleet loom]

u could say the same thing about most ammo

[rancid lion]

u ever pay for your ammo?

[vale atlas]

I cant imagine trying to snipe anything without using 308

Less math, fairly flat lol

I like it when things are easy

[marble bronze]

I haven't bought ammo in the better part of a decade. I load my own.

[rancid lion]

then u should know the potential of hot .300

[vale atlas]

How consistent is that? I always wondered about that.

[marble bronze]

It's pretty shit tbh.

[rancid lion]

whatever u say boss

[marble bronze]

Old outdated shit. We have better cartridges now

[fleet loom]

imagine a drilling rifle in tark

[idle summit]

Of course the one dude I shoot on shoreline is big pipe what is he even doing on his own

[vale atlas]

God i love those things, i would never dare fire one

They're too pretty

[idle summit]

now i gotta go back to interchange and kill 5 pmcs in one raid wtf

[marble bronze]

Gib fünfling pls.

[rancid lion]

NOW who's outdated lmao

a black powder event would be funny tho

fight the boss in a cloud

[cinder lark]

Flamethrower!

[lethal garnet]

im liking this idea

[cinder lark]

a boss like labyrinth, but flamethrower o/

[rancid lion]

only if the tanks can be shot to explode

[cinder lark]

Juggernauth with minigun 😄 (sounds hard to beat xD )

[trim kettle]

Nikita is Russian Kojima btw

[idle summit]

this task from fence is impossible, 5 pmcs in one raid on the biggest fucking maps..

[cinder lark]

which map ?

[idle summit]

5 kills on shoreline and interchange without killing scavs, and of course the goons count..

[peak silo]

i need to make some quest to unlock goons?

[idle summit]

no

[fleet loom]

actually somehow found something more annoying and useless than 8pc 9x39 packs. 5 pc rip 12/70 packs

[cinder lark]

🤣

[fleet loom]

at this point give us a fuckin 2peice pack

[rancid lion]

that's not a 2 pack, it's a db speedloader

[peak silo]

only reshala and partisan spawn in custom , no goons

[idle summit]

i was in shoreline..

[idle summit]

goons spawn on customs

[cinder lark]

bRUH Zryachiy can loot the AK50 lol

[fervent peak]

Cheese man showed up on Shoreline near car extract, following two pmcs lol
He showed up again on Lighthouse, on the shoreline between lighthouse bridge and that sunken pier

He has appeared more in one day than I've seen him since 1.0

[lunar ice]

holy bitcoin went up what a day

we can rejoice....hopefully

[peak silo]

they don't appear here

[idle summit]

not even going to argue with u dude. They do and have spawned on customs.

[lunar ice]

customs literally one of the only places i find those fools

[fickle mist]

Hey I'm trying to do the BTR quests and I just finished "stabalize Buisness" and now the BTR driver won't give me the next quest, is there something I'm missing?

[idle summit]

restart yur game, same happened to me

[fickle mist]

will do, thanks

[idle summit]

wellcome

[fleet loom]

this zhuck will never get used i stg i cannot find a replacement front plate

[spiral pecan]

use the granit 4. or better yet don't use the zhuk at all because it fucking sucks

can use a western backplate and sides but ur stuck using a shitty ceramic front

[fleet loom]

its just feels wasteful having a full lvl 6 zhuk but no front pl8. didnt even realize i had granit 4 unlocked

or that it was fleable

[marsh wing]

what is at????

[idle summit]

zhuck sucks anyways

finally 5 kills on shoreline

[fickle mist]

thank fuck, worked and now I don't have to lug around a tank battery, thanks again.

[idle summit]

welcome!

nice i have enough rep with BTR driver to get to terminal

[fleet loom]

why is car dealership key even 600k when the fuckin managers office is bugged with an invisible wall (unless they finally fixed it)

[idle summit]

still bugged

[hard cloud]

to toll probs

[marsh wing]

what are bitcoin prices

[fleet loom]

never found a damn thing in car dealership

[fleet loom]

wym?

[idle summit]

592k

[marsh wing]

extra 40k aint bad

[lunar ice]

594k

[fleet loom]

it rebounded a bit finally?

[lunar ice]

Yea

[hard cloud]

to troll *

[lunar ice]

Last time it moved it went down like 5-6k

[spark plank]

4 missions until kappa ahahhaha

[sweet thistle]

Garbage prices miss the old days

[idle summit]

used to be well over a mil

[compact folio]

its bear market rn thats why btc is low in price prob

and if it follows real life almost price then it will cost lower soon

real life 45k btc

[worthy otter]

The price updates regularly, it doesn’t match the irl price exactly, it just follows the trend of its change

[peak silo]

??code

[compact folio]

ok

[rustic cobalt]

they added the ability to go into terminal as a group right?

[idle summit]

5 hours and i can finallly escape tarkov

[ashen anchor]

guys i swapped to BSG and instantly found the Cultits as well as Rashala AND Goons all in one raid idk how i made it out alive i kept swapping my lvl 6 plate with bosses plates cuz i got hit so much ive used 3 propitols shit was sooo intense I got 50k xp from it

And a marked room key RB-BK

[lethal garnet]

wdym swapped to bsg

like bsg servers instead of private ?

[idle summit]

fuck labyrinth truly.... WHY DOES TAGILLA RUN AT MACH FUCK

[little willow]

is elite intellect worth grinding?

[lethal garnet]

learn how to fight him he’s challenging

[idle summit]

dude i didn't even get out of acid room they all rushed my ass lol

[ashen anchor]

yea i was playing on local and i went to BSG servers

prior to this i did 10 local runs and havent found anything but Rashala and the moment i switched i found all three in one raid

[worthy otter]

I spun around 3 times and did a little dance during matching and then I found 2 LEDX and Cultists

[ashen anchor]

where did you find the LEDX? also which map

[fickle mist]

Tagilla honestly is the scariest MF in any game I've played. One second he's 30ft away, next he's up my ass with a sledgehammer.

[warped imp]

Fucking Hate Big Pipe, Took my kill (Knight) from me so Now I have to go Kill the Goons again and Hope I can kill them all

[idle summit]

naa factory tagilla is fine, shadow of tagilla is terrifying

[hazy moss]

pretty sure you were in the toxic gas room then

[worthy otter]

I think the more important question is what dance did I perform…

[spark plank]

Easiest ledx spawns at the moment, ulta in the mall, the pharmacy and camp across the highway on interchange

[ashen anchor]

Laby is cake once you get used to it you need good ammo craft M80A1 you will get other good ammo

[hazy moss]

literally just trip some tripwires and hold the corner like a chokepoint, that room is the BEST spawn for killing them easily

[ashen anchor]

use Knight SR-25

[idle summit]

ya honestly gonna have to start running that, was running 995 and 855a1

[little willow]

factory tagilla is just a grunt compared to shagilla

[fickle mist]

factory Tagilla is almost worst for me, he likes to be dead quiet than appear whenever I go to reload

[hard cloud]

macarena by any chance

[little willow]

for some reason i find it harder to fight interchange tagilla

[idle summit]

get better headphones

[little willow]

even if its the same dude

[fervent peak]

Nah you hit the Mask dance

[worthy otter]

No you do that one when you need to summon the BTR

[spark plank]

IEM's youll hear everything

[fervent peak]

YES SIR I'M CUBAN PETE-

[little willow]

i've heard from some friends that you can outright hear colors with IEMs

[ashen anchor]

100% factory Tagilla is stronger Labyrinth is so free just exit your room slow walk shoot and he dies if not back out to ur room and hold an angle

[hard cloud]

fuck, thats what ive been doing wrong XD

[little willow]

are they this good? i want to buy one

[spark plank]

facts

[fickle mist]

Dude I regularly hear cultists trying to sneak up on me but I cannot hear Tagilla most of the time

[little willow]

tagilla rushed me in factory and i had to duel him with class 1 pen bullets

[ashen anchor]

The scariest thing about Labyrinth is killing a scav and then trying to shoot the other scav but the dead body is blocking your bullets lmaoo

[little willow]

i lived somehow

[civic orbit]

He just did that to me, but I was running just a pistol and he smoked me.😭

[idle summit]

That's hilarious. I can usually hear his deep perverted breathing

[spark plank]

Tagilla loves himself, listen closely, he has a deep thats louder and screams his own name lmao, he's conceded lol

#Tagilla,Is,Conceeded lol

[little willow]

he screams tagilla when he spots you though

[spark plank]

That is true lol

[little willow]

thats the only voiceline with his name

[hazy moss]

can my arena servers please stop having the most atrocious desync

[fickle mist]

That's the weird part. He shuts the fuck up around me, I've had friends notice that he doesn't mouth breathe when I'm around

[spark plank]

Catch 22

Heres an idea, just kill everything lol

[fickle mist]

He still screams "TAGILLA' when he sees me but I rarely catch him mouth breathing

[fervent peak]

I wonder if you get Direct impact an RPG into Shagilla

[fickle mist]

Works

[civic orbit]

Brotha the one time I get the Cultist to spawn on Factory is when I'm runnin pistol.😭

[fickle mist]

I've done it like 4 times

[spark plank]

He stared at me for 3 minutes yesterday in the tunnels on factory confused about what to do until i shot him in the foot and pissed him off

[fickle mist]

For the record i survived 0 of the 4 times but that isn't the point

[spark plank]

I just bring doof doof with ap20 or 50 bmg automatic and lay the entire drum into his chest and helmet, stops running at you lol

[ashen anchor]

1 more priest to go for the quest wish me luck

[wicked crow]

so uh has anyone noticed their redut is made of wz wallets

[hazy moss]

arena desync is so fucking annoying dude

i can literally see my shots hitting his head and the blood/sparks but i do 0 and he does 35 to mine

[glass dawn]

Just need better internet bro, sorry.

[hazy moss]

[jolly nimbus]

The more money you have, the more protected you are, I guess. 😭

[worthy otter]

Just use a PKM and use 100 rounders

[hazy moss]

[toxic patio]

on god get me goin to labrynth with a 6rder of SSA/995 ribbonloaded

[somber geode]

Have they mentioned any updates on the market ammo situation?

[toxic patio]

time to stock up on SI Cobras before they lock them behind FIR only

[hazy moss]

type shit 😭

flea price is gonna get inflated fsho

[echo barn]

I hope killa greets you with a quickscope

[toxic patio]

as if he'd have the chance between my 30 grenades and my sitting on a corner

[orchid raptor]

ive been hoarding so many ssa ap ammo packs bro

[toxic patio]

seriously how do people have trouble with killa he just runs into your LOF

[orchid raptor]

this shit is useless i cant believe people actually use it

[echo barn]

he will be the one sitting in the corner

[orchid raptor]

just aim for the head

[toxic patio]

grenades

[echo barn]

he just runs into another corner

[toxic patio]

SSA-AP is literally only good as a top 5 rounds in a mag bullet

[echo barn]

just use PPBS

[ashen anchor]

i hunted Cultists 10 times in local server and they didnt spawn once... switched to BSG servers and they spawned twice IN A ROW! coincident? I think not

[marble bronze]

Almost like local host kinda sucks

[ashen anchor]

idk bro everyone here told me its the same either way but i dont buy it from experience so far

[fickle mist]

I swear the loot is better when you're not running local

[toxic patio]

local host is great fym

load times are nearly instant

[distant obsidian]

I find them in local more then servers. Almost like its rng and doesn't matter

[marble bronze]

Yeah, experience has told me otherwise

[fickle mist]

local is great for faster loads and quick objective runs but bsg servers are where they hide the loot

[distant obsidian]

Literally doesn't matter form local to servers

[marble bronze]

Meh, load time on BSG is like 2 minutes or less. And shit actually works like it should

[orchid raptor]

let them believe

[ashen anchor]

well idk about now tho i load into Customs on BSG pretty fast 1 to 1.5 minutes

[ashen anchor]

most worth 2 minutes of my life im gonna stop running local all together honestly after what i saw today

[marble bronze]

Well, except Woods and Factory.

[toxic patio]

factory on local takes literal seconds

[distant obsidian]

I'm sticking with local

Yeah, local vs servers doesn't matter

[wicked crow]

look at screenshots lol

[distant obsidian]

Just do what you prefer.

[toxic patio]

i prefer local unless i'm at uni

[distant obsidian]

I like local as well

[toxic patio]

BSG runs better at uni lmao

[distant obsidian]

Lul

[toxic patio]

and at home. my parents got this weird fucking router that attempts to lessen bandwith usage automatically between 2g and 5g

but all it does is nuke our connnection every thirty minutes by trying to swap over

[distant obsidian]

Yeah, f that

[toxic patio]

it's so fucking annoying

i'm debating stealing our grandparent's router and driving it two hours back just to swap it out

[distant obsidian]

Do it

[toxic patio]

i know for a fact they don't use it

[distant obsidian]

Full send

[toxic patio]

because they have dementia

[dawn cove]

NOOO, LOOK HOW THEY MASSACRED MY BOY (SR-25)

[distant obsidian]

Sr25 is fine

Just needs to be loud now

Red muzzle, AFG forgrip and moe stock. Gg

[dawn cove]

:0

[pale wasp]

how are all the updates haven't played this in awhile

[distant obsidian]

I also like 20 rounders with it because drip and lower weight.

[distant obsidian]

I personally love the changes to attachments. Fun to play around. But as usual some are crying because change is bad

[ashen anchor]

are you talking about the Knight SR-25? I've been using my same build and have not noticed any difference what did they do lol

[spark plank]

G28 is king 😛

[pale wasp]

i haven't played in like 5 months

[toxic patio]

they did kind of butcher some guns

mainly AKM's

[pale wasp]

in a good way ?

[distant obsidian]

Some builds with some guns. I still kind all the guns to be just fine though. Or at least the popular ones

[toxic patio]

kinda good way

everything meta got kneecapped

[distant obsidian]

I'm excited for more changes

[toxic patio]

but offmeta guns are really up to par because of that

[ashen anchor]

damn tho Cultists are juiced with marked room keys and good ammo now i see why they are a rare spawn i got 3 marked room keys from 2 encounters with them sheesh

[toxic patio]

i think once more chanegs come through it'll feel better, there's no compensatory buffs and changes to gun bolts, barrels, or scopes

[spark plank]

Fun fact about tarkov in my personal opinion, there is no meta, one person cant shoot for shit with a rifle but his team mate picks it up and slays a lobby. JS

[pale wasp]

looks like ammo stack size for m856a1 is 80 now thats cool

[distant obsidian]

Yes but pistol grips got buffed to compensate a little for the recoil nerfs

As well as muzzles.

[toxic patio]

true, pistol grips mattering is nice- though i hate that the best options are all the tacticool grips

i hate hollow pistol grips they're ugly

[toxic patio]

i do find it weird some muzzles give ergo now, while most take away

blast regulators give ergo, but compensators give recoil, supressors hide flash and sound (but flash hiders don't)

[ashen anchor]

game mechanic, aim, map knowledge and ammo are waay more important than guns and attachements for your average jo wont notice the buffs and nerfs of some weapons imo... but if it was a tarkov e-sport tournament with the highest level of play then maybe it matters

[toxic patio]

a VPO-101 with a supressor and a nice scope can outpreform a meta rifle in the right hands

[fleet loom]

i havent been to labs in like a hundred raids now and i honestly dont even miss it

[spark plank]

JS all i hear is constant crying in the tarkov chats about this weapon and these attachements, when the truth of it in my opinion is either (A): Learn Weapon Building and stop going for astetics or (B) Hit your shots. All of my weapons have 0 issues, sounds like skill issues to me. Said what I said

[fickle mist]

Until I hit level 20-25 I only bought double barrel shotguns and vpo-215's.

the full broadside of a double barrel with buckshot will insta take out anyone not wearing a faceshield

and for armored ones like tagilla and killa I had a good record using high flesh damage slugs and taking knees and elbows

[spark plank]

Slugs and .50 BMG is def the way to go on shottys, i damn near use mine as a sniper

[fickle mist]

Favourite load combo is one bmg slug and one flechette

[spark plank]

i load AP20 with mine but again i think its user preference. Kind of like, scav picks up sks and tears my ass up with it, i pick it up, 0 damage lol

[fickle mist]

yeah

[orchid raptor]

finally got my 2 extra pockets

[spark plank]

Hell yeah, right on mince

[fickle mist]

I love shotguns cause you never run out of ammo, some scav WILL bring you buckshot when you're low

[tough pawn]

what's the best way to make it past the final shipping yard area in terminal?

i keep on getting cornered and dying

[spark plank]

Ill tell you once im there

lmao

[fickle mist]

I've heard flashbangs, reduce enemy accuracy to near 0

[distant obsidian]

The ergo grip is the best right now. Not a skeletonized one

[orchid raptor]

yeah it makes them look all around and just shoot randomly

[distant obsidian]

I didn't look that closely at them all, just kept hovering over to find the best ones

[spark plank]

Ergo on all mine

[distant obsidian]

Fucking this

[spark plank]

Someone has to be honest about it

[distant obsidian]

Like I love the fact we finally are getting change. Guns have been SO stale for years

[distant obsidian]

I haven been, I piss people off with facts lol

As bsg JUST said. More changes are coming. This is just the first step

[spark plank]

Man it just takes time to sit down and learn weapon building, these kids want shit handed to them and to simplify the game too much, i served 20 years and extraction shooters like tarkov need to be this way and not some call of duty shit they expect it to be.

[distant obsidian]

Yeah!

[spark plank]

Learning the game mechanics is just part of the fun and it makes you a better player

[distant obsidian]

I took a good 2 hours last night rebuilding like 5 guns. Was amazing

[spark plank]

Facts

[distant obsidian]

Most people don't want to learn anymore. Hell they can't even be bothered to try to problem solve anymore

[spark plank]

I wanna be a versitile shooter, pick up this weapon or that one and learn its mechanics, not the same shit spread across the board

[distant obsidian]

Some do, many do not.

[spark plank]

Man i love building a bad ass rifle and dropping it to a buddy going "try this mf" and then explaining velocity and ergonomics.

[toxic patio]

I love building my ow guns

[distant obsidian]

O yeah, I was dropping builds in my friends discord

[toxic patio]

#weapon-modding is my cursed x-17

[distant obsidian]

Was a blast.

[distant obsidian]

My god it's so bad. They really did kill recoil on full auto x51s

Round 2 should help when it comes

[spark plank]

For new players, depending on what NPC you are fighting, penetration matters, better muzzle velocity the better. For new players, keep your bullet Pen between 30 and 50 and youll be fine.

[distant obsidian]

My MDR will stay on the shelf until then lol

[tough pawn]

mdr recoil is NOT that bad bro

[spark plank]

I run the G28 and still slapping peoples heads off lol

[hazy moss]

on my last match for to great heights and i have a griefer in my team

yet my team refuses to kick him 🔥

[spark plank]

I couldnt even respong to that L28 i think ive ever only played 1 match of arena if thats what you are referring too

[hazy moss]

what

[toxic patio]

Yeah round 2 will rebalance the gun stats they’re still adjusted for the OP attachments

[spark plank]

Thought you were referring to Arena L28 my bad, i read your message wrong.

[hazy moss]

i am playing arena

[forest patio]

would anyone mind dropping me a 60 round ar15 mag for gunsmith 7

[hazy moss]

im just complaining, not talking to you

[spark plank]

I was saying i couldnt even respond to the team mate issue, i never play that lol

[hazy moss]

im not asking for help?.. just venting my hatred for idiots

[spark plank]

Understood lol

[hazy moss]

dude went 0-8 on scout

and killed me twice

he was my enemy before this and he was locked in

[spark plank]

I played 1 time last week and had a streamer banned for cheating. Havent been back.

[hazy moss]

and when i get him? teamkiller 🔥

[spark plank]

Get him cuz

[hazy moss]

i love how you cant even report for teamkilling/griefing

only cheats and bug abusing

[spark plank]

Is that not a thing on arena? Can't report for team killing? Thats dumb

[hazy moss]

the last time i did theta was lightwork and now i have to deal with this

[forest patio]

not a thing on any of it, they dont care about that

[spark plank]

Thats insane.

[hazy moss]

god forbid i want teammates who dont teamkill me and flash me on purpose lmao

[forest patio]

"community feedback" my ass

[hazy moss]

we all know they wont listen to it lol

#1 thing would be reverting the changes and then just buffing all the worse items

[median frigate]

Whats your timezone?
Coz if you still need in in roughly 10hrs i can drop u one

[hazy moss]

instead of nerfing everything and buffing bad stuff

some gunsmith builds arent even possible anymore iirc

[grizzled yoke]

what's the update today? handguard and barrel rework?
