[rancid lion]

bsg servers on lh for sure

i'd lag tf out otherwise randomly on that map

[versed pine]

tyty

[arctic parcel]

what do you mean 100%. including goons and partizans?

[rancid lion]

pipe even donated the bloop to me

[supple jackal]

I don't know, just the skull on custom map...

[past breach]

They roam in local too

[mint oyster]

what is the new logo "boss" next to customs location on map ?

[past breach]

boss 100% we just don't know which one

[supple jackal]

100% boss on customs

reshala, for sure

[weary ice]

Yeah it’s reshala

[supple jackal]

If you wiant the achievement, that's the good time...

I already have it, don't care

[arctic parcel]

just a quick question. did you get to lvl 68 after 1.0 was released?

[supple jackal]

all others bosses will follow...Good news...

yep...

I was 70 before 1.0...

[arctic parcel]

damn you should be able to walk around with your eyes closed

[supple jackal]

Nope...That's the beauty of Tarkov...

[gritty marten]

How frequent do goons spawn now in customs?

[weary ice]

Is it normal for knight to rip the hard r

[supple jackal]

nobody knows exactky..There some website tracking goons...search 'goons trackers'...

they alternate between customs/woods/lighthouse/shoreline, only these maps (goons)

[weary ice]

Pretty sure they spawn on all maps now but I could be wrong

[supple jackal]

nope, only customs/woods/lighthouse/shoreline

[weary ice]

All of the maps that they can I mean

Which is why the trackers don’t work

[supple jackal]

trackers works fine...

[weary ice]

Can you send me the link of the one your using 😭

[mint oyster]

tracker dont work in local pve

[frosty stag]

Does the red skull next to customs mean guaranteed goons or just reshala

[weary ice]

Reshala

[shadow vortex]

resh

[frosty stag]

ty

[shadow vortex]

kind of cool they doing another boss event

[weary ice]

Thanks bro

[supple jackal]

that's not 100%, but very helpfull indeed

[vale atlas]

Dont let mods catch you sharing that lol

They get very excitable, its "against tos"

[rancid tundra]

just dont snitch

[mystic trench]

You'd have to be absolutely mad to do a raid and take a obdolbos. It adds total chaos to the raid.

[supple jackal]

deleted 😉

[rancid tundra]

ah

[weary ice]

I’m actually an undercover mod

[vale atlas]

You dont need to snitch lol,. its like they have alerts set up for that shit

[rancid lion]

got the pkm finally

fuckn dude always had anything but that

[glacial osprey]

snitching is based

[rancid lion]

excuse me, pkp

[vale atlas]

This is why you get all those party invites

[glacial osprey]

imagine getting all your money stolen but you are not a snitch and won't go to police

[jovial cobalt]

is reshala 100% in pve too rn

[weary ice]

roubles

[vale atlas]

Imagine not being the repercussions

[jovial cobalt]

im stupid im in the mf game why would i ask that in discord i can just click twice

[rancid tundra]

so it's reshala+goons

[weary ice]

Just reshala

[rancid tundra]

I killed reshala and guard and then got killed by goons in Ref's build

[weary ice]

ok because reshala is 100% but you just happened to also get goons

[rancid tundra]

bad luck then

[vale atlas]

Goons were 100% for a while, that might have changed now though with this guaranteed boss thing

[rancid tundra]

reshala 100% is the most useless. why not Killa

[vale atlas]

useful for me i still have that "Kill bosses while wearing goon rigs" thing

I like it when i dont have to guess

[inland elk]

ffs i need to farm customs for drain cleaner and theres 100% bosses

[sacred barn]

Interchange

[rancid tundra]

craft?

[supple jackal]

every 100% bosses will follow...Be patient...

[indigo knoll]

does anyone have a map of all the getting acquainted spawns

[jovial cobalt]

they should add 100% black division spawn to every map how about that

[rancid tundra]

I got it 1st time why repeat bro

[supple jackal]

miss click...

[gritty marten]

i need their drip badly

[indigo knoll]

Its on the wiki i was wondering if there was one where they are all marked in one img

It has 20 spawns

[jovial cobalt]

theres a map of it that has all the spawns

like all on 1 map and u can open the full size image so you can zoom in and see

[cobalt path]

is reshala a guaranteed spawn on customs rn or something?

[rancid tundra]

scavs 100% spawn in customs confirmed and tested by me thank me later

[jovial cobalt]

i think so yee

[cobalt path]

ground breaking news i thank thee very much

[pallid galleon]

when you die in terminal, what do you get back?

[rancid tundra]

everything except card for access

[pallid galleon]

like every everything? even ammo?

[rancid tundra]

yup

[neat spoke]

Didnt see Reshala, but ran into the Goons? Can Reshala and the Goons spawn at the same time?

[pallid galleon]

like you have the same ammount of ammo when you entered terminal?

like i dont need to farm ammo for new attempts?

[rancid tundra]

even if u get Strenght level up you will dowgrade

[weary ice]

yes they can both spawn at the same time

[rancid tundra]

correct

[pallid galleon]

ok wow. so i basically need one compelte set of everything, once enough ammo and i have unlimited tries basically?

[rancid tundra]

yes

[pallid galleon]

sick

then i guess my 800 ssa ap will suffice

[rancid tundra]

ssa ap will damage your gun really fast

[pallid galleon]

i also have enough m995 but ssa ap has so much better pen against l6

does bd have lots of lvl6 armor?

[rancid tundra]

5-6

and top tier ammo too

you can just take mags from them and 6lvl plate also

[pallid galleon]

maybe alternate ssa and 995 in the mags?

[rancid tundra]

855a1 is enough to headshot 2-3 shots

[mental halo]

@pallid galleon TAKE 9955 NOT SSA THEY ONLY HAVE LEVEL 66 ON VERY FEW BLACK MOST IS LVL 5.. I DONT EVEN DO 5,56

[rancid tundra]

and don't use suppressor it will kill your gun even faster

[mental halo]

@pallid galleon 995 DOES NORMAL JOB 855A1 1 TO 2 HEADSHOTS..

[pallid galleon]

i mean i have lots of good ammo. i was advised to use 5.56 sicne BD runs it

[mental halo]

@mental halo IVE GOTTEN OVER 50 PEOPLE OUT GOT ANYT QUESTIONS LET ME KNOW

[pallid galleon]

what other guns do you recommend?

[rancid tundra]

5.56 bro that's it

[mental halo]

@pallid galleon NO YOUR KIT SHOULD BE GOOD WHERE YOU DONT LOOT ANYOTHING OFF THEM

[rancid tundra]

and stop CAPS GODDAMN

[mental halo]

@pallid galleon 7.62X51 OR 7.62X39

[pallid galleon]

i heard ppl run the rpdn since it cant jam

[rancid tundra]

worst advice

[mental halo]

@rancid tundra SAY THAT TO THE 50 PPEOPLE I GOT THROUGH

@rancid tundra HOW MANY HAVE YOU RAN THROUGH?

[vale atlas]

Please press the caps lock button one time

[mental halo]

I SEE BETTER WITH CAPS

[pallid galleon]

que?

[rancid tundra]

wtf r u talking about? if u run it once it's over u can't go to Terminal again and again if u already escaped

[vale atlas]

If you need caps to see how do you shoot things?

[rancid tundra]

how can u run 50 times if u escaped? or u mean 50 attempt? lmao it's bad

[mental halo]

@vale atlas DONT WOORRY ABOUT IT PLEASE... ITS DOESNT HARM YOU

[carmine burrow]

hes not escaping, hes killing himself at the end

[vale atlas]

it doesnt its just very annoying

I suppose thats the goal?

[mental halo]

@rancid tundra I DIE AT EXFIL TO RUN PEOPLE.. TRUST ME I CAN TAG PEOPLE IVE GOTTEN THROUGH THAT WILL TELL YOU TO STOP WHILE YOU ARE AHEAD

[rancid tundra]

7.62 is dead due to rebalance. Recoil is dead bro.

[mental halo]

@rancid tundra THEN YOU SHOULD BE A BETTER SHOT?

[rancid tundra]

5.56 Model 1

[ivory quest]

recoil dont matter if you 1 shot them bro

[mental halo]

RUNNING IT NOW NO ISSUES JUST GOT 5 PEOPLE OUT SINCE UPDATE

[ionic ice]

He doesn't escape and he rails BD with 7.62. I feel like you've just had bad luck with it and now want to argue peoples tried and tested methods for the sake of arguing it.

[carmine burrow]

[neat spoke]

What happens after you escaped? Start again, or?

[ivory quest]

you can wipe or keep playing and doing sidequests

[mental halo]

YES FOR MOST PEOPLE I KILL MYSELF TO RUN AGAIN TO HELP OTHERS

[ionic ice]

Recoil is dead? Dude i haven't had to change one single build of mine and any extra recoil isnt even noticeable

[ionic ice]

No, you only reset if you want to go for another ending.

[manic harness]

does the skull next to Customs mean reshala 100% spawn rate?

[neat spoke]

I asked that... But i ran into the Goons.

[ionic ice]

Yes 🙂

[carmine burrow]

yes

100% map boss spawn

[pallid galleon]

how about a x-17 with 993?

[carmine burrow]

well reshalla spawns at 3 diffrend locations on the map

[neat spoke]

I know

[ionic ice]

Solid gun and ammo tbh. Mainly use that for labrys tho tbh.

[neat spoke]

Dorms, Stronghold and near the gas station

[vale atlas]

Did you have shit ergo across everything before lol?

[ionic ice]

Absolutely not.

[mental halo]

@pallid galleon YES THAT WAS MY ORIGANAL NOW I RUN AK-103 WITH MAI AP

[rancid tundra]

If u escape solo you will out of ammo if use 7.62.
Of course with other 4 guys it will be easy cuz they will kill all the scavs.

[vale atlas]

You should definitely be able to tell the difference

I can and i suck at this lol

[ionic ice]

I can call bluff on this as I've done it. You must just be running too light.

[mental halo]

@vale atlas BRO HE IS A 1 TAP DEMON WITHOUT GOING FOR INSANE ERGO YOU ONLY NEED 50 ERGO MAX

[vale atlas]

You need ergo in relation to weight. Overswing is death when fighting proper enemies

[mental halo]

@rancid tundra BRO I SOLO AND DUO IT ALL THE TIME WOULD YOU LIKE TO WATCH? I CAN HELP YOU ASWELL..

[vale atlas]

You dont need insane ergo, just enough lol

[ionic ice]

My guns are very well balenced for ergo and recoil. So no, I can't tell the difference. I'm also not someone who full autos everywhere dumping ammo. I single fire and consider myself a rather good shot, so no, there is no difference tbh.

[vale atlas]

but with 7.62 the balance was always very delicate

[mental halo]

@vale atlas IDK I MAIN 7.62 AND AM ALWAYS THE ONE TO KILL EVVERYTHING ON ALMOST ALL MY RAIDS

@vale atlas WAIT WHY ARE YOU SAYING THINGS IF YOU SUCK AS YOU SAY? YOU KNOW THATS WHY IT MATTERS RIGHT?

[ivory quest]

bro maybe dont spam a full mag on 1 enemy, just tapfire heads?

[mental halo]

IF YOU ARE GOOD THEN YOU CAN RUN OTHER THINGS LMAO

[orchid raptor]

i havent been on all day, why's there a skull on customs?

[vale atlas]

You're not the brightest bulb are you lol

[pallid galleon]

i have 300 rounds of 993 and m61 each plus another 600 80A1

[vale atlas]

Toddler level attack

[carmine burrow]

100% map boss spawn

[mental halo]

@vale atlas BRO IM NOT WRONG..@pallid galleon I CAN HELP YOU KIT UP IF YOUD LIKE AND GIVE YOU TIPS OR RUN WITH YOU

[ionic ice]

I mean... neither are you by the sounds of things. Not exactly one to insult others...

[orchid raptor]

oh shit

[pallid galleon]

so thats 1200 7.62y51 rounds 55pen or higher

[orchid raptor]

why?

new event?

[neat spoke]

Any tips for running labyrinth?

[pallid galleon]

nah i go solo

[vale atlas]

I didn't say you were wrong, i said there's a noticable difference between 7.,62 pre patch and post patch.

[mental halo]

TO ANYONE THINKING I KNOW NOTHING I HAVE OVER 50 PEOPLE I GOT THROUGH TERMINAL AND WAY MORE IVE HELPED IN THE NORMAL GAME THAT CAN TELL YOU I KNOW WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT..

[orchid raptor]

is it only on customs?

[mental halo]

@neat spoke GRENADES... STAY RIGHT BY SPAWN GRENADES TO ATTRACT THEM

[vale atlas]

I only mentioned that "i suck" because i'm not a 0.1% sweatlord lol, but can still notice the changes

[mighty coral]

Is there some kind of event going on right now? I see a skull icon next to Customs

[ionic ice]

Try to kill from the spawn area so you have chance to retreat and reset the fight on your terms as to speak. You wont overly have time to heal etc, but restting the fight can keep is "less stressful"#

[vale atlas]

100% reshala spawn

[orchid raptor]

thank god its not the goons

[mighty coral]

Ah.

[orchid raptor]

free BT and maybe altyns hell yeah

[ionic ice]

So because i single fire and dont see a difference in my builds, im a sweat lord? Bruh lol...

[neat spoke]

ahah, I didnt see Reshala but ran into the Goons

[mental halo]

@vale atlas I DONT SWEAT EITHER.. I DONT NOTICE BECAUSE I DONT SWEAT I JUST RUN AND IT WORKS..

[pallid galleon]

more reshala means less cultists.. i need 4 more cultist knives and im done, but havent seen them in weeks..

[orchid raptor]

gulp

[vale atlas]

This was barely in relation to you at all you can relax lol. I was just backing up the guy saying 7.62 is relatively shit compared to before

[neat spoke]

Goons arent difficult, wait for them to push you... then look for Birdshit, i mean birdeye...

[vale atlas]

Proud of you tank, good job buddy

[ionic ice]

Skill issues will do that to a man.

[mental halo]

@pallid galleon OK.. THAT AMMO WILL WORK BRING A SECOND FOR DURABILITY.. IF YOU DONT HAVE ELITE STRENGTH USE STIMS. IF YOU NORMALLY HAVE ELITE STRENGTH YOU CAN PULL THE DOOR OPEN NO BOMB

[ivory quest]

its not shit at all, i used all of the 7.62 guns and they all handle nicely even after the rebalance

[mental halo]

@vale atlasTHANK YOU.. HAVE A GOOD DAY LET ME KNOW IF YOU NEED HELP..

[vale atlas]

They didn't even feel good before lol. Too heavy.

[orchid raptor]

i just realized i forgot my nl545's maxed on 93

might as well get some peanut butter cuz im bouta get a whole lot of fucking jam

[vale atlas]

Whatever crawled up your ass, can you direct it at someone else? i'm not interested in someone bragging about skill in a PVE mode lmao

[forest patio]

Anybody else have goons at woods last night?

[ivory quest]

then stop yapping about it?

youre only prolonging the conversation you yourself deem worthless

[vale atlas]

I'm sat in factory waiting on PMC's, i'm gonna respond to pings lol

At least, i was up until that last point

[neat spoke]

Na Customs 20mins ago...

[pallid galleon]

anyone haveing any good cultist farm runs? where do you go to find them?

[ionic ice]

Haven't bragged about anything 😂 Merely stating the changes really haven't made that much of a difference. You are the one trying to claim it has and trying to claim peoples tried and tested ways of doing something is the "worst advice" You can't claim something is the worth advice when your input in the convo is wrong itself. Ammo types are a choice of the user. To disagree is one thing, to out right claim something is bad advice just becuase you dont like it is what is toddler like tbh 🤣

[vale atlas]

Fucks sake now i have to reply again

[ionic ice]

Customs. you can reset really quickly if they arnt there 🙂

[ionic ice]

Aww, diddums.

[vale atlas]

You've confused me with someone else lol, i didn't say shit about bad advice i just chimed in with "Yeah 7.62 feels worse than before"

[forest patio]

Hmm we must have had the boss spawns every match bug others were having cause they were definitely at woods for us

[vale atlas]

I'm not gonna bother with you past this point

[mental halo]

@vale atlas YOU SAID IT WHEN I SAID 7.622 YOU SAID WORST ADVICE

[vale atlas]

That was someone else

Scroll up

[pallid galleon]

so you run the entire contruction area or where do you check and reset?

[forest patio]

Can you turn capslock off bro? Or are you actually trying to yell

[mental halo]

@vale atlas YOU ARE RIGHT MY BAD

@forest patio AS I TELL PEOPLE ITS EASIER FOR ME TO READ.

[pallid galleon]

is ther any worth ion elektronics key once you got the item for thte ticket quest?

[rancid tundra]

It was me, leave him alone for the gods sake

[ionic ice]

Depending on the side i spawn, i run to panda, through fortress, check construction area, then to crackhouse and clear behind or vice versa and reset.

[rancid tundra]

7.62 is shit

[mental halo]

@rancid tundra I SAID I WAS WRONG WHAT ELSE YOU WANT

[orchid raptor]

easiest goon squad kill of my fucking life wtf

[mental halo]

@rancid tundra OK BUD

[orchid raptor]

i had to fight them out in the open near ruaf cuz they were already lighting me up on the railway near big red

i thought they were supposed to be hard to fight

[pallid galleon]

which map?

[orchid raptor]

customs, first raid

[pallid galleon]

ffs

[vale atlas]

Goons come in two options

[pallid galleon]

im never going to find cultists when resahala is 100% and goons are also there

[vale atlas]

Terminator and braindead

[orchid raptor]

still no fucking gl drop from big pipe im bouta crash out

sorry, both "b" names

swear their aim is always ass

theyve always caught me out in the open and they never manage to hit me

if they do they hit me center mass

[pallid galleon]

what do you need a grenade launcher for?

[orchid raptor]

for fun

[mental halo]

@pallid galleon WORKS WONDERS IN TERMINAL WITH THE RIGHT GRENADES

[pallid galleon]

ah ok. thought its for a quest

[mental halo]

@pallid galleon OH IDK FOOR HIM JUST WHAT AGL IS GOOD FOR LOL

[pallid galleon]

anyone had any success with cultists on woods?

wait they can also be in the sunken village?

[orchid raptor]

does reshala spawn 2 storey dorms too?

[sacred oracle]

yes they have two spawns on woods

[orchid raptor]

ive only ever seen him spawn in 3 storey

[sacred oracle]

it’s rare but he can yes

[cobalt path]

he can be in both but its mostly 3 story

[ionic ice]

Anywhere at dorms, 3rd, 2nd, in the middle and even out the back in the little woods area.

[uneven vapor]

The skull is only reshala guarantee spawn ye?

[orchid raptor]

thanks

[pallid galleon]

since when is woods 25 minute raid?

that feels off

[ionic ice]

The last time it happend it was for the map boss, but over yesterday and today it seems goons are on Customs more then not...

[rancid tundra]

Since it's pve

They force us to play local and still reduced raid timer lmao

[pallid galleon]

never noticed that its so low.

[orchid raptor]

good to take advantage of this now than not at all

free decent ammo and altyns as long as youre not dumb

[uneven vapor]

The Zeus shows cultists ye?

[ivory quest]

every thermal does but they have a reduced heat signature

FLIR is the best in my experience

[uneven vapor]

Ik that much, I thought the Zeus was like specific to them or smthn

[ivory quest]

Same with the ECHO1 scope

[uneven vapor]

Was weird how the unlock for it was all cultists related and barter is 10 cultists knives

For it to not like somehow be better

[ivory quest]

you also unlock it by killing kaban

[rancid tundra]

If I don't use bomb in Terminal do I still need to repair box?

I've got 51lvl strength rn

[pallid galleon]

box is for pumping station, so i guess so

[edgy cipher]

Do you lose rep killing cultists on scav?

[rancid tundra]

Alright. I just thought that blow will cause damage to box

[faint sparrow]

whats that red skull on customs? did they add a boss or something?

[rancid tundra]

Yes. Reshala 100%

[faint sparrow]

i feel like it was always 100% for me

[edgy cipher]

What about Cultists and goons?

[rancid tundra]

Not 100%

[rancid tundra]

It was like 70% before

[edgy cipher]

Yeah 100% Reshala is a non event 😛

[faint sparrow]

so guaranteed bt farm

[rancid tundra]

Or 856a1

[edgy cipher]

Those are not good bullets

[pallid galleon]

well im not sure tbh.

[faint sparrow]

theyre ok

[pallid galleon]

also actually the raid rtimer on woods is 35 min. its just wrong on the map selection

[faint sparrow]

dont really need anything more on pve

[rancid tundra]

I'm on my way to check it. I'm on Terminal cutscenes rn

[edgy cipher]

bt is extra poop. It's all about the BP

[faint sparrow]

good luck

[pallid galleon]

good luck

[rancid tundra]

Ty.

2/4 ending

[faint sparrow]

i got a box full of bp but im too scared to run it, server connection lost

[rancid tundra]

The fallen

[faint sparrow]

or random crashes

[edgy cipher]

Don't be, the amount of that ammo that spawns is insane on Interchange and woods

[faint sparrow]

i run reserve for bp

i feel like they nerfed it thot

the ammo spawns

[edgy cipher]

Just got to the 2 new camps on interchange and leave with 5 120 round boxes

[faint sparrow]

i never had any luck with ammo on interchange

except a 120box of ppbs at tagillas

[edgy cipher]

If you want Tagilla and Killa melters (BS, PPBS and also BP), Bogaytrs camp on woods. It's not as grand as it was at the start of the wipe, but I'll often tell players when they are first starting out to run to woods, get a box of these ammos then just chuck em in an aksu an full auto Tagilla on factory in the head and he'll drop in half a second. Grab his plates and the 200 rounds of meh bt and your kitted.

[faint sparrow]

cant he spawn with ppbs also? ik that killa can becuase it happened once to me

but ppbs is a not so great round

not enough damage

[edgy cipher]

For me, BP is the perfect bullet, it's even the best for terminal due to the health pool of the BDs head and thorax

[faint sparrow]

wouldnt BS be objectively the best bullet?

for 5.45 ofcourse

[copper heart]

how are you folks getting through Labyrinth, i keep getting one taped regardless of the gear i go in with

[rancid storm]

!event

[edgy cipher]

I think BS came just under the damage required though it has higher pen requiring atleast 1 extra round into the chest

[faint sparrow]

millions must sp into legs

[edgy cipher]

Higher pen but lower damage

[faint sparrow]

that was my strat untill i got reserve

any tips for punisher 5?

i cant get any pmcs to spawn and i dont want to go factory

with lvl2 armor

[orchid raptor]

goons on customs twice in a row

birdeye's such a fucking shithead

bastard got lucky my thorax got blacked and he oneshot me

[edgy cipher]

The technique is baiting them to come to you on a corner. You pull their attention and then fall back to a safe position and camp a corner.

[edgy cipher]

Lighthouse sniping on the road at night

[copper heart]

keep doing that and keep getting one tapped, just been bake in with Level 6 everything and go one tapped again. this is getting very old

[wary fulcrum]

Use any high pen ammo and full auto in their face, they should drop like flies

[faint sparrow]

thanks

[edgy cipher]

That's basically what Black Division are, so you are getting some good practice on how you have to fight them. You simply just can't get hit. Getting 1 tapped in the Lavyrinth is odd though.

Wearing neck protection armor?

As mentioned, if it is Killa or Tagilla, you just gotta not let them get a chance to hit you. And you gotta kill them fast when they come round the corner with a spray of high pen ammo to the face

Your armor is there to stop the swaming guards from putting 100 rounds into you

When you get to Terminal, every Black Division fight is ~Don't let them touch you even once 😛

If your in OCE I can assist, but you better get used to getting molested in time for Terminal

[jolly bough]

what is the event on customs?

[indigo void]

There's a red skull on Customs interface, might be 100% Boss Spawns?

[jolly bough]

Reshala 100% ?

[indigo void]

I think it's all bosses..?

[sacred oracle]

just reshala

[indigo void]

God damn it I thought the Goons are 100% too...

[orchid raptor]

swear they have better spawns because they spawned twice in a row for me its insane

[indigo void]

I just wish the Goons are 100% spawn chance just so I can farm that sweet sweet M995..

[edgy cipher]

My preference would be cultists for marked keys

[digital dune]

Same. And they're more fun to fight.

[echo barn]

yeah especially when you can't find them

[digital dune]

The goons are pretty low IQ AI.

[digital dune]

Fighting them in woods is pretty fun cause of this, but if you listen they're easy to find. They're not silent anymore.

[edgy cipher]

Cultist farm would have been a godsend on my current speed run back to Terminal for round 2. I'm on day 8 at 250 mil and burnt the hell out. 250 to go.

Shoulda went an alternate quest route cuz 500 mil sucks balls

[digital dune]

Ah i'm not even going for the endings. I got zero interest doing all that to play a map once.

[stoic star]

so customs has the red skull icon does that just mean reshala spawns 100%?

[edgy cipher]

Yeah pretty fucked, I question myself doing all this work just to get back to the map since they lock it off when you beat it

[uneven vapor]

ye

[stoic star]

doesnt affect like.. the goons

[digital dune]

Probably one of the worst designs in a game ever. Do all this crazy amount of work just to do it once. Like naaah. Ima pass big guy.

[stoic star]

what a great day to do td part 6

[rotund junco]

the new arena tasks arent working for me, did all of refs tasks pre 1.0, then wiped pve with 1.0 but now i cannot progress ref as the Professional Fitness - Part 1 wont progress even if i play a match in checkpoint

[echo barn]

What's the best way to lower the durability of an armor?

[stoic star]

get someone to shoot at it

[digital dune]

Get shot alot. So do some factory.

[edgy cipher]

main reason i'm doing it is my friend has been beating his head against the wall for 2 months. I told him I'd help him after I beat it myself not realizing I locked myself out

[copper heart]

going back in with 995,😆

[echo barn]

I tried to do that but instead of shooting the armor those dumb scavs just shot my head

[edgy cipher]

I probably won't complete the ending when we get there, I'll wave goodbye to him at the dock so I can still use this account

[digital dune]

Unluck i haven't been shot in the head unless i aim punch them.

I also haven't played much lately.

[echo barn]

Imma try to find the Big T to shoot at me with his shotgun

[stoic star]

you could also just ask somebody here to help you out

[digital dune]

I mean honestly just get a friend to get a ak74u with some cheap flesh rounds and have him pound your armor.

And use that green etc stim to regain health fast

Badabingbadaboop.

[echo barn]

yeah that makes sense

[digital dune]

You can also shoot the explosive barrels at a safe distance and it'll hurt your armor as well.

But i'd look up the video for that.

Cause i killed myself a few times doing it that way.

But the armor did come back hurt so.. 😄

[south stump]

any1 know about a customs skull icon? is it reshala 100%?

[digital dune]

Yes.

[south stump]

thought its gonna be goons, but alright thanks

[stoic star]

can reshala's guards have an svd? im wondering who the hell put shturman on customs 😂

[digital dune]

It might be goons too but idk for certian, maybe on lighthouse if the skull is on there since that is their home.

[stoic star]

only customs have the skull rn

[edgy cipher]

if you are doing it without help, the Ghzel can be easier to get by shooting up Gluhkars guards. The Zabralo only needs to get to 75% and you might be able to get 1 of Reshalas guards... oh and we got a 100% spawn rate event going atm

[digital dune]

Ah yeah then.. unless they're rotated onto the map atm, then probably not.

[echo barn]

I mean at this point just go to streets with an armor only and step in front of the Grenade launcher in lexos

[edgy cipher]

Just don't shoot the guards in the face

[digital dune]

Nah you can survive the barrel blowout. You will not survive that GL.

You have to be so many feet/meters away of the barrel so it wont kill you, pretty sure the video shows you where to stand.

[echo barn]

Its not the Zabralo its the Gzhel

[edgy cipher]

And use middle pen ammo, not max pen ammos so you bust the armor up good and propper

[edgy cipher]

If it's the main quests, the Zabralo is straight after that one

[echo barn]

yeah I saw it on the wiki

[edgy cipher]

in the end, we all reccomend getting someone to pop you with a Blicky

Do both armors at the same time

[echo barn]

Yeah but I need to find someone first

[edgy cipher]

I can assist in Australia "if"

[digital dune]

Me and my buddies use to do it with ak74u with flesh rounds that can't pen i think gazel takes like 7-13 and the big boy takes like 22-25 shots

[echo barn]

I'm in europe

[edgy cipher]

The blicky is 1 point of durability damage with no threat of accidental murder

[digital dune]

I mean if you can't pen they wont die they'll just take blunt damage and counter with the green stim. Never killed anyone like that.

You don't mag dump them lmao

[stoic star]

i turned towards new gas for a second and just see the guards shitting red tracers at me like hell na

[digital dune]

Yeah i prefer dorms/fortress for them. They can be shifty at NG.

[stoic star]

going through the front sucks

[edgy cipher]

There's a small chance things can go wrong and a flesh round could 1 tap. If you use a normal weapon, you should use the low middle grade bullets like 545 fmj or the orange tip m846

[stoic star]

they just want to sit in the gas station and then you cant fully see inside of it

[edgy cipher]

But blicky was pureley made for these quests

[vale atlas]

If in doubt, the orange tank method works

[digital dune]

To some degree. Dont get too close to the sun.

[stoic star]

if you can get on top of the scaffolding and just mount up on a box you can snipe them at new gas ive done it with a dvl before

[vale atlas]

Yeah you really need to be as accurate as you can be with your placement if you're gonna copy videos

[stoic star]

its a 50 50 if they agro tho

[edgy cipher]

old classic techniques were running out and getting shot by border sniper

[vale atlas]

I had to wait 3 days on insurance due to that lol

[stoic star]

1 more scav for rite of passage cmon

they never wanna come to the area

[echo barn]

just saw the Orange barrel method it seems pretty easy

[edgy cipher]

I haven't tried it myself, suggest maybe testing range using your scav

[steady coral]

Whats the red skull on customs?

[echo barn]

100% reshala spawn

[steady coral]

Oh sweet ty

[edgy cipher]

Satan Satan Satan

[echo barn]

Don't worry abt it

[stoic star]

how do you attract a scav if its agroed on you

[edgy cipher]

Whip out a Delicious Sausage, those guys are starving

[stoic star]

they keep running away instead of getting closer

[edgy cipher]

What are you attempting to do to them?

[waxen coyote]

??event

[quasi apex]

Collaboration event with Escape from Duckov:
Players can take part in an in-game duck hunting task in Escape from Tarkov. After completing the task, players will receive a set of exclusive rewards in both PvP and PvE mode

[stoic star]

showing them a secret in old gas

aaand hes gone

[edgy cipher]

Scavs are attreacted to bullets impacting surfaces

[stoic star]

ive shot right next to him and he didnt react

[edgy cipher]

They won't always come, but it's one way to draw one into a share extract

[stoic star]

i think hes just dense

[edgy cipher]

You want to shoot at your feet while they aren't agro on you

That's why after a gun fight, scavs often start pouring in out of nowhere

[stoic star]

he keeps retreating

[edgy cipher]

Coming to investigate where the bodies might be to loot

[vale atlas]

Another good way is to put down a tripwire

They fuckin magnetize to those

They wont set it off either so you dont have to worry about exploding

[stoic star]

ok maybe i got him

[vale atlas]

They just cannot tolerate an un-snipped wire

[stoic star]

welp he wandered away into a building i think

[grizzled yoke]

are hidden achievements unavailable on pve?

[sacred oracle]

yes

[stoic star]

ahaha got em

[edgy cipher]

Don't get hung up on crushes that get away. A new day rises.

[stoic star]

im done with this dogshit task

[sacred oracle]

they don’t show on profile but you can get them

[stoic star]

i think the sound of me getting hurt really motivated him to push me

[edgy cipher]

Just do those gas station kills passiveley, they'll eventually happen if you pass through the area enough times

[stoic star]

well im on like the last

4-5 tasks for kappa

[edgy cipher]

Switch over to farming Fortress for a few maps and gas kills become secondary

map speed runs.... like i'm doing on labs atm. I've done 30 x 10 min lab runs this afternoon

farming towards 500 mil

and bareley made a dent

[copper heart]

if this RFID manual is not in handbook / Notes where is this stashed up

[edgy cipher]

I think they said they fixed it but you might need a restart. But before that, check system messages, in mail

[copper heart]

I have bee restarting for 3 days hopping this would pop up in the notes, and there it was in System messages, thanks dude

[edgy cipher]

oof, that'sa bugga. Lucky I only did that quest a few days ago so the memory was just slightly lingering of the system message

[copper heart]

🥳

[lavish plover]

why does customs have a red skull next to it

wadda hell

[hazy moss]

100% reshala

[lavish plover]

great to know i needed my empty wallets

[manic lance]

when i can do 34 kills on lighthouse without being hit its time to take a break

[grizzled yoke]

are there any quests that unlock after level 60 other than profitable venture?

[glossy bloom]

well damn, got something to go kill on customs next run

[dusky arch]

??events

[junior plank]

prewipe

[dusky arch]

ahh, and the goons they 100%?

[dusky arch]

there arent wipes anymore lol

[junior plank]

shhhhhh

[grizzled yoke]

is this red skull thing a new feature?

I've never seen it before

[ocean solar]

hey, anyone know why there is a red skull on custom on map choice ?

[past breach]

Reshala 100% spawn rate

[ocean solar]

ok thx

[past breach]

also after playing more I can confirm goons don't spawn on local raids but spawn on server hosted.

at lease thats case for me

[shell lotus]

event indicator for 100 percent boss spawn (reshala specifically)

[raw nest]

Goons should spawn on local too

[past breach]

Something broke I guess typical bsg

[ashen anchor]

how long does it take to level up my light machine gun skill to level 5? I just realized that i need this for Savior lol im at level 1 cuz i never use these smh

[waxen coyote]

Is it 100 reshala AND goons and hooded friends

[past breach]

Only Reshala

[raw nest]

Play arena

[ashen anchor]

you might as well have told me to kms i hate that shit... but anyway which loadout is good for this? xD

[raw nest]

Well obviously the one with m60

[past breach]

Chads run pkm

[ashen anchor]

honestly idk if its the best for me still cuz im so bad at Arena lmao

[proven slate]

Any tips for killing cultists? Getting the Polikhim keycard is the last tough quest for my kappa grind

[ashen anchor]

BSG servers on Customs check fortress if they are not there resetart the raid

[past breach]

Just run free4all idk how its named

[proven slate]

Why does it have to be on their servers? isnt a local raid good enough?

[keen juniper]

It doesn't make any difference

Also they don't just spawn in fortress

[past breach]

Around fortress

[keen juniper]

They can spawn from behind crackhouse to Panda

[ashen anchor]

some people say its the smae but from experience i ran 10 raids local yesterday and didnt find them once... then switched to BSG and did 2 raids and i got them back to back! not only that i also got the goons and rashala and the cultists in one of those two raids...

[proven slate]

what are the odds someone just opens the door for me on factory i need for the quest

[ashen anchor]

i just run from RUAF to old gas/ZB-11 or the opposite side depending on spawn

[peak edge]

i will

[proven slate]

fr?

[peak edge]

yeah

[proven slate]

alright cool, you can add me, tkplays25

i appreciate it

[ashen anchor]

guys looking at the map there is a red skull near Customs... what is that for? Goons? and has that always been there?

[peak edge]

i think 100% boss spwawn and maybe goons

ill follow u i foget where the room is, somewhere in the tunnel right

[proven slate]

yeah i got the map up

[tight lintel]

whats with the red skulls on customs now?

is it actually 100% boss spawns?

[raw nest]

100% reshala

[tight lintel]

interesting

[peak edge]

all set?

[proven slate]

yeah thanks man

[rocky cloud]

is it for goons as well

[celest crane]

Great game, killed all 3 Goons, find Reshala, but one of the guards just lands 3 neck shots and dropped me through T6 plates and a Rys-T

I was on a 65+ survival streak too, rip

[sharp bluff]

what is this red icon next to customs?

[rancid tundra]

Nikita himself is there waiting for you

[sharp bluff]

yeah, im not going

[grizzled yoke]

are there any quests that unlock after level 60 other than profitable venture?

[gentle matrix]

man i havent played since like begining of december why does loot feel so ass

[rancid tundra]

Reduced really bad

[raw nest]

No just Reshala

[gentle matrix]

shit, i need my 40 bitcoincs this is gonna take forever

[raw nest]

plates don't cover the neck

[celest crane]

Yeah I'm well aware, it's just that throat shots is still an issue throughout all these years

I will pay 100mill for T5 throat armor lol

Literally 90% of my deaths are throat shots

[raw nest]

Special Equipment from peacekeeper

[grizzled yoke]

Other than that there's nothing else?

[raw nest]

Don't be the throat goat I guess

[raw nest]

Nothing

[grizzled yoke]

Thanks for the heads up.

[gentle matrix]

welp whats everyone best way to farm money with lower loot

[celest crane]

Get the biggest backpack and just start looting on your favourite map

[timid zephyr]

Nice work soldier

[latent void]

[sage marsh]

So is this an event or just reshala for fun?

[warped sparrow]

what is that red skull?

rashalla 100%?

[proven marten]

i was just about too ask about this same skull

[sage marsh]

[mossy blade]

Nikita is Russian Kojima btw

[cosmic patrol]

btw is russian nikita kojima?

[rancid tundra]

Wtf is nikita

[cosmic patrol]

nikita is fuck

if we add -ed on that, it may be interpreted as a threat! A fun fact!

[orchid raptor]

we need to fuck nikita

[fresh nacelle]

Any tips for lend lease part 2?

[cosmic patrol]

nikita needs to fuck you

[proven marten]

sometimes praying to nikita helps me play this game. like praying to the omnisia

[cosmic patrol]

Interesting.

@stone goblet what would you say to the aforementioned texts mr birch?

[distant obsidian]

Interesting

[trail sail]

RB Pkpts

[gleaming pollen]

whats the skull on reserve?

[raw nest]

Gluhar

[warm ferry]

any tips on getting Return the favor lightkeeper task - killing pmcs around sniper mountain on woods i done 30 raids and got 5 pmcs

[vernal spindle]

Is the boss icon on customs just reshala?

[warm ferry]

yes

they rotate maps

[cosmic patrol]

Wait, so im seeing people talk skull on customs and reserve. Are the skulls only on them, or on every map

[warm ferry]

i saw just custom not sure abour reserve

[cosmic patrol]

Mkay.

I feel like 100% boss is back, but rotation then 🤔

Ok yeah, reddit seems to be on the same page as me. 100% boss is reactivated with weekly spaws

swaps*

[warm ferry]

im gonna cry tryiing to get these kills around the mountain

[orchid raptor]

fighting reshala and his guards is always a fun time

[waxen coyote]

When I. Try to turn in the flash drive for falling skies I get an error wtf

[analog snow]

Sadly PMC kill quests are the most gowadful in PvE

If you REALLY want to grind it, bring a SJ6/L1 combo and pop it at game start, and then rush to the area in the hopes of catching PMC spawns there

The area is actually way more generous than it sounds, you don't have to be IN the mountain for a kill

Catching the common PMC transit at the triangle road outside Sawmill or the Bunker works

[warm ferry]

yh thats thing i have been running to both and camping on top where the sniper spawns

[gusty reef]

The goons are currently bugged and spawning on all 3 maps at the same time

[analog snow]

Oh yeah PMCs love shooting the sniper

So if you can catch them dueling with him that's good. They also duel Shturman but usually that puts them out of range$

[warm ferry]

yh im loosing my mind lol

[analog snow]

Honestly I'd say incorporate Bunker too. PMCs do like going down there to loot sometimes

But sadly yeah 15 PMC kills means a LOT of map grinding and rerolling if needed

[gusty reef]

I should know this by now but does the 100% spawn rate apply to the goons as well or just reshala

[spring gust]

so has anyone else gone into a raid, loaded stuff in a documents case thats sitting in their pouch, only for it to dissapear later in the raid? i was running labs, loaded 2 bitcoin, intel an dcardinal key, and when i was sortign through stuff, the intell and 2 bitcoin were missing

[warm ferry]

i have been they dont come there

[analog snow]

Only Reshala according to some sources

[grizzled yoke]

They're just rich scavs ripe for harvesting

[analog snow]

"Rich"

I mean Reshala Bunkhouse key is pog if you roll it. But Morphine, AFAKs and BP ammo goes out of style quickly

[grizzled yoke]

Bro have you ran their pockets? I've seen em have up to 130k roubles on a guard

[analog snow]

And I've gotten WAY more broke ass Reshalas than loaded ones

I know if you get very lucky you can get bankrolled, but even then a single valuable spawn can get you up to speed without risking a fight with 4 guards

[gusty reef]

Just so you know using trackers is technically against tos so you shouldn't be mentioning them

[analog snow]

Oh

[gusty reef]

Not to be an ass or anything but stay safe with mods around 😭

[jaunty stream]

It's not but sure

[cosmic patrol]

some mods are chill

tracker wise though fuck no

[gusty reef]

Somsone said it was like a day ago did I just get gaslit

[cosmic patrol]

Same as 3 forbidden letters.

[jaunty stream]

Also goons are 30%, only reshala is 100%

[warm ferry]

@analog snow running to sniper rock and theres 5 pmcs at usec camp bruh

[analog snow]

Oh yeah USEC camp is an EXTREMELY common PMC spawn

Or well, med camp

[warm ferry]

yh but spawn them at the mountain god damn it lol

[grizzled yoke]

Yes I got bapped before while mentioning them in this channel, don't make my mistake

[analog snow]

Sadly the only way is to rush there at raid start with a SJ6 and hope you catch them before they wander out of the red zone

And if you don't reset

[gusty reef]

@jaunty stream

[warm ferry]

where would be a good point running under sniper rock or bunker?

[analog snow]

SJ6 + L1 is best because L1 is dirt cheap and +20 Strength allows you to haul ass

Bunker is quick check, honestly don't even run in there, just nade it

[warm ferry]

i got max strength already

[analog snow]

If you hear screaming push it

Ah, L1 still gives max stam tho

And it's hilariously cheap, cheaper than prop

It also gives you painkill so it helps if you do get contact

[jaunty stream]

?>

[gusty reef]

He got modded for bringing up trackers, check the message I replied to

[jaunty stream]

Yeh ask butch

Some mods just wanna remove it and tell you so

[warped imp]

What is the Redskull for?

[gusty reef]

100% reshala spawn rate

[warped imp]

Boss event?

[twin jay]

Just getting back into the game, looted up some high value items ready for flee unlock...... it's now level restricted by item type.

Is every mechanic now added just to slow progress as much as possible?

[warm ferry]

if i dont hear screaming?

[gusty reef]

ye

[warm ferry]

they want you to do some story lol

[analog snow]

You can still check but a waste of time honestly

Though PMCs can sometimes be fussy reacting to nades I suppose

[gusty reef]

This is literally THE best balancing change made in 1.0 I can't even lie

[twin jay]

I've done pretty much as much as I can do for now lol.

[analog snow]

At 7k a pop I'd consider incorporating nades into your kit way more aggressively for PMC hunting

[pine zephyr]

we need an event for 100%spawn? ive been seeing every maps boss every raid all week

[analog snow]

They force voice lines so you can efficiently use it to check for PMC spawns

[twin jay]

For PvP maybe, for PvE it's sort of pointless.

[pine zephyr]

https://klipy.com/gifs/war-1000-yard-stare

[analog snow]

I had way more fun a year ago with the anything goes flea lol. Building your entire hideout from the flea, no level cap past 15

[twin jay]

Its just there to make it more tedious

[analog snow]

I basically spent 3 days slamming my desk trying to find electric drills of all things

To finish my hideout

[waxen coyote]

Why do I fix the error I get handing prapor the flash drive for falling skies

[warm ferry]

interchange

[analog snow]

They're worthless on the flea because it's all FiR

[twin jay]

Yeah when I'm hopping on for a couple of hours most at a time finding 376,000 lightbulbs is just boring.

[warm ferry]

have you reset your game?

[analog snow]

Avoided it due to Killa

I ended up running GZ tunnel with scav and PMC

[warm ferry]

fair enough lol

[waxen coyote]

Yeah

[analog snow]

Eventually got all I needed

[warm ferry]

cleared cache and checked files?

[analog snow]

But doing it 20-30 raids in a row for an otherwise common item drains your sanity fast

[waxen coyote]

Yep

[twin jay]

Yeah big turn off. I started over to do the story, wish I hadn't bothered to be honest.

[warped imp]

Get off custom you asses lol

[warm ferry]

does it give you error or say failed?

[gusty reef]

I play both on and off so yeah that's fair
I still think it adds some fun to pve because you can't run meta within a day of starting the game anymore. You have to work for meta kits and thus are forced to run things you otherwise wouldn't and work around that

that was the whole point of the change

[waxen coyote]

It says error 228 node failed

[gusty reef]

Even in PVE it makes a difference to playstyle for a bit

[analog snow]

I'm going down the story but not sure how long my patience will last lol

I hate that you're forced to go to Labyrinth, never liked that map

[analog snow]

Problem is PMC AI is easy to farm even with horrible gear and drops absurdly good gear

[twin jay]

I don't even know or care what the meta is lol. I just want to play casually and not have to jump through hoops to finish the story.

[analog snow]

You can get a Slick with 6 plates, a good Class 4 helmet and a good NATO gun within hours of booting up

[warm ferry]

is the flash drive in the top part inventory?

[waxen coyote]

Yeah

Idk why it’s giving me the error

[analog snow]

Also it kinda sucks for some stuff, notably I wanted to run Labs with a friend but the access keycards are Level 30 locked lmao

[ruby sky]

The worst part is after you finish it, they're literally everywhere

[analog snow]

I mean I got a stockpile of mine spamming scav raids for FiR items but still

[twin jay]

Yeah I love the game but progression blockers in PvE is taking away a considerable amount of fun.

[warm ferry]

okay move it to your stash inventory then back up to froce the sync

[analog snow]

Honestly even after I haven't found that many

[little heron]

whos guaranteed on customs? reshala or goons

[ruby sky]

The literal raid after I finished it, I found 5 drills in one raid

[ruby sky]

No idea, not clear

[analog snow]

But it was a huge kick in the nuts grinding 30 Lab raids for GSPA and MCC

[waxen coyote]

Still says condition failed at node

[analog snow]

And then the two Labs raids after I did for other quests I found both instantly

And not just cheap checks either, full Yellow/Red/Violet checks

[ruby sky]

It took you 30 raids to get gspa and mcc? I feel like i see those almost every single labs run

[analog snow]

Yeah my luck was absurdly bad

[ruby sky]

Where you going to yellow and violet?

[analog snow]

Yep

[ruby sky]

And checking parking garage?

[analog snow]

Yellow every raid, I had 4 keycards by then from random drops

Violet or Red depending on backpack, but usually either or even both every raid

Plus of course checking Cat

[warm ferry]

something is out of line you might have to go pick it up again

[analog snow]

And Black Office (not Black keycard tho)

[waxen coyote]

I actually did that lmao

[ruby sky]

I mean i wouldnt go to red for either but yellow and violet for sure.

[analog snow]

I think I ended up finding my GPSA in Violet and my MCC in Garage Control

[warm ferry]

lol maybe die with it>

[analog snow]

To be fair I tapped Red for the good ammo and found my second MCC there

So it's definitely an option. It's also ultra safe since you clear Yellow, Red, Violet and Black in one go

And the exit from there is safe

[warm ferry]

bring a nade into raid with the flash drive on and when you spawn go boom

[waxen coyote]

I’ll try to clear cache again I guess idk why it’s doing this

[analog snow]

But ye I think the god strat is spamming Yellow and Violet

Both have a TON of valuable and tech spawns

[warm ferry]

check your intergrity of files as well

[analog snow]

Plus checking Garage and Cat

[warm ferry]

@waxen coyote

[orchid raptor]

swear to god ive gotten better loot on like 5 hits of a yellow card than off a full ten durability marked eky

[waxen coyote]

Nope

I wonder if the patched bugged the quest

[warped imp]

Well at least I now know, the Goons shoot Scavs on Sight

[warm ferry]

did you check your files ingerity as well?

[waxen coyote]

Yep

Maybe I have to get prapor level 2?

[warm ferry]

have you paid therapist 2k dollars?

[waxen coyote]

Yeah

[warm ferry]

Ummm have you tried going into raid naked and killing yourself?

[gusty reef]

Mb I went and took a shower
I wish my PMCs dropped absurdly good gear 😭 I swear on my end they always drop the most abysmal dogshit imaginable

[warm ferry]

Then go get the flash drive again

[waxen coyote]

I’ll try that soon

I’m just wondering if the patch broke the task

[gusty reef]

That's why the loot you actually want to get when you open a marked room is keycards lmao

[analog snow]

Their ammo is godawful, though sometimes they drop juicy stuff like SP-6 or SKS BP

But I love farming USEC PMCs because when they roll actual assault rifles they can build stuff that's 100k to the Mechanic straight off

[gusty reef]

i never use 9x39 sadly despite having a kitted out Val mod4

[gusty reef]

Truth it's free money

[analog snow]

Yee, I need to use my stockpile sometimes

And yeah they often will spawn with Class 5/6 armor pieces randomly

Which is 100k if you can carry it out of raid

[warm ferry]

Try searching up the error as well

[analog snow]

Also completely fresh helmets are also neat selling pieces if you don't have time to loot

A full Neosteel is like 70k ?

[gusty reef]

I wish in PVE they would add progression to the bots

like when you start a wipe they're running unmodded m4s with FMJ or HP and as you level up they get more stuff like that infamously valuable Scar Mk16 they can drop with the Vortex Razor and the Stark grip

[golden thorn]

ngl level 50+ ai pms should have high tier kits

[analog snow]

Yeah, it's kinda lame you don't have late game PMCs with the good stuff, tho I assume the reason is balance

[golden thorn]

and have boss ai

[analog snow]

You could give PMCs god kits but they're still just slightly upgraded Scavs

[golden thorn]

js to make it balanced

[analog snow]

You line them up and head tap them and done

[warm ferry]

Just remember soon we can mod pve

[gusty reef]

The real reason is laziness be so fr

[trail sail]

Fr most of the time they just die to scavs too

[golden thorn]

nikita said this?

[analog snow]

It's also sad because it massively reduces the variety of gear PvE players naturally encounter

[warm ferry]

Yes he did

[analog snow]

The only SPEARs you'll find in PvE are at Kiba

[distant obsidian]

it wont be third party mods

[golden thorn]

huh thats nice

[analog snow]

Unless you get lucky and a PMC vacuums it through the wall

[warm ferry]

U think?

[distant obsidian]

no, labs has spears to

[golden thorn]

i mean even cosmetic mods id be happy with

[analog snow]

Or Labs ye

Tho I don't run Weapons Testing

[golden thorn]

js have different gun and armor colors

[distant obsidian]

Its not think, it was confirmed from, Nikita in multiple interviews

[analog snow]

If I'm on Labs I'm rushing Yellow/Violet for my money run

Clearing the other half of the map is just completely unnecesary danger

[golden thorn]

mmm yes free bitcoin and intel

[analog snow]

I love rushing Black Office

And finding a PMC that just so happens to have a Bitcoin and Intel in his pocket

[gusty reef]

mmm tastey expensive gun mods and optics

[warm ferry]

Based on reports and discussions, Nikita Buyanov, the Lead Developer of Escape from Tarkov, has not explicitly forbidden all third-party mods for the PvE mode in a blanket statement, but rather, has moved to a, server-side structure that makes traditional client-side modding, such as SPT-Tarkov (Single Player Tarkov), functionally incompatible with the official, live PvE mode.

thats what i found

[analog snow]

I mean they're nice but most guns are 100k-150k on the Flea

[gusty reef]

dawg is that google AI review

[sage marsh]

it is

[analog snow]

I can easily make a million in a few minutes risk free by just blasting through Yellow/Violet

[golden thorn]

tf is wrong with local hosting

[analog snow]

At worst I'll get a PMC squad and an early raider spawn

[sage marsh]

alot

[analog snow]

But they're hilariously easy to outmaneuver around the staircase

[distant obsidian]

thats what AI found.

[gusty reef]

Want a list?

[golden thorn]

i mean i enjoy the higher boss spawn

[analog snow]

Worst you can get is raiders in the laboratory section detecting you while you open Yellow

[warm ferry]

i mean i still dont see why tehy wont allow rd party mods

[gusty reef]

I like to just yoink sights where I have space off of guns. They offer a pretty good per slot value for zero real weight

[distant obsidian]

because they dont want to

[warm ferry]

i think they will

[distant obsidian]

I doubt it

[gusty reef]

We can't have the talented forbidden mod makers over on the 3 letter platform be showing BSG how to make their game better

[analog snow]

Yee, though it's always a gamble

I've opened WT a few times early on and I got a lot of garbage

[gusty reef]

It's like bringing in middle class people from a rich country to show to your poor people who have a king what good game design is like

[analog snow]

And honestly I am very averse to laboratory area

It always feels like it's being swarmed by PMC and Raider squads

[golden thorn]

the ammo is worth it

[analog snow]

50 % of the time when I wander in there I get into a MASSIVE firefight

[golden thorn]

it can spawn high tier ammo

[analog snow]

I think the most I've head to deal with is 12 people early into a Labs Raid

5 man into 3 man into early Raider

The other side of the map is way more calm

[warm ferry]

@analog snow 4 more just murdered a 5 man at broken suv

[sage marsh]

your just seeing the flat rate applied to a single lobby instead of every lobby in existence all at once

[warm ferry]

the most annoying thing on labs in the pmcs reaching through the weall to the safe taking the intel and bitcoins

[analog snow]

Yoo, nice

But yeah Broken SUV is a common transit for PMCs. I think it's the mountain spawn ?

[analog snow]

Well annoying until you shoot them and take it for yourself

But yeah if there was a big PMC spawn near Black, don't open Black

They vacuumed the safe

[warm ferry]

Yh i could avoid that if they didnt take it lol

i mean you still have a chance of a coloured keycard

and another bit coin

[analog snow]

The most bewildering is I shot a Lighthouse PMC squad 1 minute in once, near Crashed Tugboat

And one of them just had a Bitcoin on him. I still have zero idea where he looted that

[warm ferry]

lmao the box under the landing stager

can spawn valuables

[analog snow]

Oh

[warm ferry]

so thats my only guess

[analog snow]

But yeah it's always fun shooting a PMC in the head, checking them, and they have el classico Bitcoin/Intel on them

Any map, any time. I swear to god it's sometimes bewildering where they find that shit

[warm ferry]

also anyone getting dogshit in therre cultist circles?

[analog snow]

Cultist Circle is a blind bandit

Just feed it G28 Patrols and hope for a return on investment on your 160k

95 % of Cultist Circle gamblers quit before they get a marked key

The worst one is when it gives you a single box of MAI AP

[warm ferry]

lmao i finally got a good key from scav case as well

[golden thorn]

ive gotten maybe 4 -7

[analog snow]

I don't know why but the circle LOVES rolling a single box of MAI AP

[warm ferry]

thre worse is ap sx stinky

[analog snow]

Especially on 6 hour timer

[golden thorn]

i prefer the 20 rounds of 7.62x54r bs ammo

[warm ferry]

also i get 6 hour ones with dogshit got no quest or hideout items from it

[golden thorn]

its fun to run in the pkp

[analog snow]

I got at least one Dorms Marked Key from an intel scav case. Easiest 24M from my life, bailed me out after I built Stash 4

And another 10M marked key more recently

Nothing gets the dopamine running quite like opening Ragman and seeing rows upon rows of 1M rubles

[golden thorn]

mhmmm

i have this ss somewhere of getting 60mil

[warm ferry]

tbh ive been so unlucky with marked keys i turned to cultist on customs killing them for it

[analog snow]

lmao, my condolences

[golden thorn]

i did that for a few days and got around 400 mil

[analog snow]

I've yet to intentionally go grind Cultists but I know I'm gonna have an awful time doing it

[golden thorn]

i think it was like a week

[analog snow]

I'm not used to night raiding on purpose, let alone to grind cultists

[warm ferry]

i mean it was easy they have foot steps now

[golden thorn]

its pretty easy

[analog snow]

Oh yeah the truly silent footsteps are gone now thank god

[warm ferry]

yh

[analog snow]

One year ago PvE launch was CBT. Getting snuck up on by Birdeye or Partizan

[warm ferry]

jsut be careful of reshla thats all

[analog snow]

Well I'd be worried of Goons too

[warm ferry]

ive seen reshla right up against near hole in the wall by crackhouse just chilling

[distant obsidian]

what? pve has been out almost 2 years now

[analog snow]

Near PvE launch ? I forget

[golden thorn]

idk everytime i fight them at night they act like scavs

[analog snow]

Oh I mean it hugely nerfs their vision from what I heard... until you aggro them

[golden thorn]

ig? ive had them run past me when they were 20ft away

[warm ferry]

If you do need help just pathing etc im done to help

I dont run nvgs cos of nvida display

[analog snow]

Yeah I'd have to run NVGs

But I'm sure I can figure it out, I think

What sucks more is the 25 % spawn rate

[warm ferry]

Well im here to help

Yh it does

[distant obsidian]

30% on customs

[warm ferry]

Just make sure to bring q xtg with just in case

[silver pawn]

what does the skull icon mean next to a map?

[cobalt path]

would you consider a squad of black division with infinite grenades a bug

[warm ferry]

100%boss spawns

[silver pawn]

ohhh is that new?

[gusty reef]

No they do it sometimes whenever they feel like it

[distant obsidian]

no

[silver pawn]

oh dayum okay xD

[distant obsidian]

its been in the game for over a year now

[warm ferry]

Yh they kinda just put on what they want

Unless they fucked up like the unheard and eod

[distant obsidian]

idk what you mean by that

red skull means 100% intentional boss

[warm ferry]

Wdym ? About the unheard eod?

[sage estuary]

is the 100% just resh cause goons can spawn there too

[gusty reef]

I don't see how unheard vs eod relates to this

[gusty reef]

It's just reshala

[sage estuary]

damn

[warm ferry]

Im saying unless they make a mistake like eod unheard they kinda do what they want

[distant obsidian]

no idea what you mean or how it connects to boss spawns lol

[formal haven]

for Batya, is there any reason to do the optional objectives for finding the command bunker/Bear camps toward the end?

[warm ferry]

Are you going for savior?

[distant obsidian]

no

[formal haven]

I have sided with Kerman at every chance

so I think?

[warm ferry]

Doesn't he need to get all the notes etc?

[vale atlas]

just the main evidence

[warm ferry]

Have u got all the things like the postcard and voice recorder?

[formal haven]

yah

[gusty reef]

I believe there's something in there for major evidence which you need for kerman

[vale atlas]

8 major evidence he needs, the rest is give or take for savior

[gusty reef]

idk I'm not there yet I just started my savior

[distant obsidian]

you have to in order to progress

the options dont matter

[formal haven]

ok so the optional ones maybe just for lore

[warm ferry]

I know im asking where's he at basically

[formal haven]

the main part is it wants me to go to Lighthouse

[gusty reef]

there's an achievement for getting all the minor evidence for kerman also so technically not jussttttttt for lore

[formal haven]

oh ok cool dude

thank yall

[red kite]

??events

[warm ferry]

just 100% spawn weekly rotation back

[red kite]

Nice

[distant obsidian]

we dont know if it sweekly or what, we just know its back right now

[warped imp]

Now if only they did all the bosses on one map.....Then I'd be happy

[sage estuary]

with gaurds

on factory

[warped imp]

Yes

I want Factory to be a true Bloodbath

[distant obsidian]

I doubt we ever get that again

[gusty reef]

honestly hopefully it's weekly, great excuse to do some boss hunting

[jaunty stream]

go snowball then

[onyx depot]

do we know more about this yet?

[jaunty stream]

About what

[distant obsidian]

[vagrant glade]

Factory having all bosses with guards would be fucking 💀

[daring mortar]

Help. I'm on PVE and I cannot for the life of me get the weapon hotkeys to work

I have guns on 3 and 4 but can't switch. I can switch to knife however and gren

[warped imp]

Here's the Picture, all the bosses, Guards, and Scavs Only. No other PMCs, but Raiders. All on Factory

[echo barn]

I don't think having 2 tagillas on one map is optimal

[warped imp]

Why not? Have two drugged up hammer men running at you with only Murder on their mind, while you have to worry about everyone else...I'd love that, die alot, but love that

[echo barn]

cortisol maxxing

[warped imp]

It's ok to be afraid, it's what makes you Human @echo barn

[jaunty stream]

Bosses ain't hard

[echo barn]

now that I think about it i'd like to see shadow of tagilla and his guards in an open map

[somber geode]

Nothing is hard if you shoot it in the face

[jaunty stream]

Exactly

[boreal spoke]

Can you retry terminal after completing it?

[stone goblet]

not without a profile reset

[dusky magnet]

No

[somber geode]

I think extraction shooter players are generally different than FPS players
There is some overlap, but the communities are not as equal as I first would have thought, and the overlap is even less on the PVE side of things.
Anyone that's a FPS player wont have issues with bosses.
The amount of people I run across without any idea of how to aim in extraction shooters baffles me sometimes

[barren kiln]

they update the cultist circle stuff? the mp5 trick doesnt get me 14 anymore

[bronze saddle]

did they remove the fucking cultists?

ive been looking for them for a whole week and not a single one spawned

[jaunty stream]

L bozo

[boreal spoke]

Damn that sucks

[jaunty stream]

Not at all

[thorn roost]

first item purchase of the day... unable to complete SSL connection
restart needed to fix it too, bricked the game

[worldly dock]

tarkov mostly punishes you for unrealistic gameplay

[warped imp]

WHAAAAAAAT?! You mean I can't survive a 7.62 round while having no Head protection?

[worldly dock]

have you ever heard of scavs

[warped imp]

It's funny how Scavs will have some of the strangest Plot Armor

[worldly dock]

shoot their limbs off 1 by 1

[echo barn]

Whats the best Rig to put inside partisan bags ?

[worldly dock]

mppv or lbcr

[echo barn]

is it great to add a CSA next to it or useless

[worldly dock]

i wouldnt

but up to you really

[echo barn]

why tho you get 10 slots of storage for 6 slots taken

[worldly dock]

so i can carry helmets or 4 slot valuable items

[echo barn]

that makes a good point

[warped imp]

Here's alot a dumb question, Do Bags give a small amount of Protection or does it not work like that (Mainly like 9mm rounds not anything larger)

[worldly dock]

Im a pvp player so carrying helmets and SR-3ms is my top priority

[worldly dock]

no they dont

[echo barn]

and where do I find the Lbcr because I got 4 partisan and i can only get 2 mppv inside my bag

[worldly dock]

off of birdeye or from flea

[echo barn]

or 2 partisan are enough nah?

[blazing breach]

what is it with the fps these days? its getting worse and worse, im at 40-60 fps with a 4060ti

[worldly dock]

it's your pc, I've only been getting FPS increases

[short flume]

think i want to go for snowball, any tips?

[nova plank]

does custom now also guarantee cultist spawn?

[worldly dock]

bring a lot of nades and m993

[worldly dock]

no

[short flume]

it's reshala 100%
30% goons
25% cultist

[willow tinsel]

why dont they just maake terminal transit a one time thing

[nova plank]

what cultist spawn rate there normaly?

[short flume]

25%
