[wintry cobalt]

i assume i have to do a full sweep of the map to find them

[marsh wing]

i got like 6 factory keys, need to find time in a few days to run them or when i need the smuggler cases

[normal parcel]

how can i create a vc?

[forest patio]

i thought your weapons were suppose to get better with scav rating not worse

[twin ember]

there usually between industrial plant / fortress / crackhouse area

[wintry cobalt]

im running factory

[marsh wing]

your "kits" are supposed to get better

[twin ember]

o

[tired portal]

im low key pissed i used to farm these guys for 40-50 hours for fun/money. took me weeks to get all the keys

[forest patio]

but still jam fest shitbox ass guns with better rating?

[wintry cobalt]

my 6 fence rep kits are like marginally better than when i had 2 rep ngl

[marsh wing]

i havent jammed in a while

i got an STM a few scavs ago, it was nice

[forest patio]

my 5th shot was a jam with 2 pmcs right in front of me then immediately head eyes because of the sprint delay

[modern elbow]

Do the Smugglers spawn at night?

[gusty reef]

I believe so

[tiny axle]

These cultists are ridiculous. 2 marked keys from each, found 3 dudes on factory wtf

[marsh wing]

Remember. This game is all about gambling and RNG

[subtle valve]

Yes

[mortal lodge]

where's partisan?!

did he join the event?!

[tiny axle]

Partisan can stay hiding bro

[wintry cobalt]

0-4 rn

[tiny axle]

I'm hunting bosses and priests

[mortal lodge]

motherf----

[spiral pecan]

you will get a 2 durability m700 with a 56x scope and be happy

[forest patio]

no i wont

[wintry cobalt]

fence when he sees the most loyal scav with 6 trillion rep:

[subtle valve]

9 PMCs, no cultists, meh

[tiny axle]

Lmao he'll show up when you're doing something important I promise. Always when you don't want him

A new questline has arrived! Start it by accepting "Bulldogs Under The Rug" from Peacekeeper!

[forest patio]

id rather get half decent weapons that way the third person in a three man doesnt run around a corner and brain me while im checking a jam

[thorn token]

where the fuck do i find a smuggler

[mortal lodge]

i'm doin snowball and he's the last one XD a week ago i've started it

[restive latch]

18 marked keys now i recommend doing NF factory

[mortal lodge]

80 raids in a row

[marsh wing]

fun fact. Dont start snowball until after you kill partisan

[forest patio]

they are easy to find they usually run in packs and are GEARED my run just now i got a g28 off one

[thorn token]

and end with zryachiy

[mortal lodge]

he was never that hard to find

[thorn token]

yea but where? on say like shoreline

[forest patio]

everywhere

[thorn token]

since im doing that task

[mortal lodge]

actually i've killed zryachiy and then just checked snowball... only few left so i still trying to do it

[forest patio]

oh you mean the building or what

specify

[thorn token]

no the actual enemy smugglers, like what do they look like

[forest patio]

geared as i said

[restive latch]

got 4 full armour THOR's too

[forest patio]

in a pack of 3 to 4 usually 4

[gusty reef]

who do you have left?

[thorn token]

clothing wise do they dress as scavs?

[mortal lodge]

just partisan 8) he's last. can't find him for 2-3 weeks

well no. for 2 weeks i can't find him and 1 week i haven't seen him. yeah. just noticed one day that he never spawned again

[marsh wing]

thats why i didnt start my first attempt until after i killed him

[wintry cobalt]

idk

0-5 on factory night for now

[tough pawn]

knight buildings are just all out warfare right now

[toxic patio]

2-25 for me

[wintry cobalt]

first i spend 3 weeks looking for ONE smoke mask

now i cant even run into cultists with a decent spawn chance

[mortal lodge]

yeah that's curious cuz i've met him so many times. but since i try to do snowball he's just disappeared

[toxic patio]

just spawn, pray you find them early, and if not, go next

you're gonna have better rates at finding them if you don't waste ten minutes sprinting into every corner of the map

[gusty reef]

partisan is such a rough time. Hopefully you find him soonish

[toxic patio]

do a lap around the ground floor, around basement, hit the gates, and then leave

[marsh wing]

so, i figured i should be checking for locked cases while farming factory. Found one first time i checked

[gusty reef]

this ^ I run across the surface and if I don't see them I leave

[pine sinew]

??event

[quasi apex]

A new questline has arrived! Start it by accepting "Bulldogs Under The Rug" from Peacekeeper!

[split rapids]

bro killed himself as if to deny me priest kills i need for story

[steel heart]

They buffed up the loot to high hell? SEVEN marked room keys on Priest in factory....

[marsh wing]

A new questline has arrived! Start it by accepting "Bulldogs Under The Rug" from Peacekeeper!

[wintry cobalt]

[little willow]

[orchid raptor]

[little willow]

#videos message

[orchid raptor]

[fervent peak]

Ohshit, smugglers are back

[marsh wing]

BRO I CANT WATCH THAT SHIT WHILE IN RAID

[orchid raptor]

wtf is happening? end of wipe? what is this

[marsh wing]

I THOUGHT I ALMOST GOT NADED

[gusty reef]

we don't even know anymore gang nikita just having fun with it

[little willow]

I KILLED 2 SEKTANTS BUT I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST A NORMAL GRUNT

[steel heart]

Just done another run... 4 marked keys... This is wild

[orchid raptor]

bro omg i gotta hop on holy shit the loot potential is fucking crazy

[marsh wing]

yeah ive gotten 14 so far today, havent checked these ones this raid

[gusty reef]

I got 6 marked keys in my first raid on

[orchid raptor]

ughhhh 3 more hours before i get home from school

[marsh wing]

just healing and reloading in a corner lol

[little willow]

i think i got like 5 marked keys

[orchid raptor]

i HAVE to hop on that shit has to be crazy

[toxic patio]

i've found around 4 per raid so far if i get one

but the cultists are annoying as hell to find even on night factory

[marsh wing]

this fucking dumbass priest

[orchid raptor]

i saw on twitter that marked rooms drop sealed weapon cases now bro that shit is actually crazy

[split rapids]

they also made cultists have normal footsteps now

[orchid raptor]

wtf is happening??

[toxic patio]

yeah cultists just aren't silent right now lmao

[gusty reef]

they do? All of them?

[marsh wing]

HE WAS LAYING DOWN LOOKING AT THE DOOR GOING OUTSIDE

[orchid raptor]

im not sure, it was just one video

[wintry cobalt]

bro where are they

[split rapids]

yea i found one per open

in 314 at least

[orchid raptor]

i swear i gotta hop on this is actually sucking crazy

[toxic patio]

i seem to find them pretty commonly in that corner of the map, whenever they spawn

[wintry cobalt]

i got one each every time i opened rbbk and pkpm

[split rapids]

i just go to the middle cistern part of factory and they rush me

just use a loud gun as well

[gusty reef]

and 314 is cheeks that's how you know they buffed them all

[ionic moon]

are the goons still on shoreline?

[split rapids]

idk i got multiple keycards per open of 314 so might just be your luck

[little willow]

check dms

[solemn marsh]

they nerf the farm? only 3 marked keys that time

[vale atlas]

I've noticed 314 seemed a lot better over the past few days with the guaranteed boss spawns

[little willow]

are they finally buffing marked room drops in pve?

[orchid raptor]

duuuuuude this all sounds insane

[gusty reef]

of all the marked keys I've opened 314 has been the second worst for me only behind the one in the apartment on streets which I am forgetting the name of for some reason

[wintry cobalt]

ive had pretty nice pkpm and bk and 314 today

[little willow]

they were some BUTT BOOTY CHEEKS, even fucking rbvo and rbpkpm

[gusty reef]

chek 13

[wintry cobalt]

out of 6 hits on average pretty good

[solemn marsh]

i got green, yellow and a black and a single bitcoin out of my first use of the day

[vale atlas]

Probably not, but its felt like it

[little willow]

could just be luck

[vale atlas]

Exactly lol, no real way of knowing with tarkov rng

[forest patio]

how the hell do i get a red flare

[split rapids]

marked room i pulled one per open

[gusty reef]

it's almost enough to make a grown man cry without thinking it's stockholm syndrome

it's like christmas

[orchid raptor]

ugh if i knew this was happening wouldve saved my marked keys

but considering how easy you guys are finding cultists, i doubt it matters

[gusty reef]

dawg just go run factory it's literally free keys

[split rapids]

just go kill cultists they drop 5+ keys per kill lmao

[orchid raptor]

i cant wait to get home that shit is crazy

[little willow]

rbpkpm prices are still 8 mil or so for full uses

[split rapids]

abandoned factory at 4m lmao

[orchid raptor]

i wonder what this event is building up for

[little willow]

pvp wipe

[marsh wing]

prices are up, but is anyone actually buying the keys????

[little willow]

no this just looks like people investing to sell them when everything stabilizes lmfao

[forest patio]

i would if i could afford it

[orchid raptor]

but arent they NOT wiping pvp anymore? just making a separate "seasonal" character?

[split rapids]

seasonal character are not coming until q3 this year lmao

[little willow]

oh jeez

[orchid raptor]

what could this event possibly be building up for

[little willow]

the economy REALLY is crashing right before our eyes

[split rapids]

nothing

nikita just felt like giving players a taste of fun

[marsh wing]

spring break is next week isnt it?

[gusty reef]

I'm lowkey considering taking a hit on points for a college assignment so I can grind ts

[little willow]

nikita just woke up and felt like crashing the marked key economy?

[wintry cobalt]

bro please

[orchid raptor]

nikita crashes the tarkov economy for the love of the game

[glossy hound]

9 marked keys and a taiga from three cultists on factory lmao

[split rapids]

bro marked keys were like 1-2m on pvp

[wintry cobalt]

where are they

[gusty reef]

his motives are below our understanding

[orchid raptor]

this is my LAST day in school bro im bouta grind the fuck outta this shit

[little willow]

i dont play pvp i wouldnt know
wouldnt they be more expensive considering the loot multiplier is bigger on pvp as opposed to pve

[forest patio]

its like borderlands rn its a pointless event

[wintry cobalt]

i definitely want to kill 5 pmcs and 10 scavs a raid that was my goal!

[split rapids]

more risk on marked keys in pvp. in pve its just free loot

[orchid raptor]

oh speaking of, i hope arena goes on sale in spring that would go crazy

[marsh wing]

guys, i just had best cultist run yet

screenshot or list?

[split rapids]

arena is like 20 bucks on epic man

[little willow]

screenshot

[heavy raft]

How cracked are the smugglers?

[wintry cobalt]

whoever is scalping propitals can go get fucked

[glossy hound]

did you beat my 9 keys and a taiga from 3 cultists

[marsh wing]

they are super easy to craft

[gusty reef]

list it

[little willow]

just craft them sonny

[glass dawn]

Man, these bitcoins aint sellin for shit

[wintry cobalt]

yes i know however someone is just trying to scalp them which is incredibly cringe

[orchid raptor]

arena's on epic?

[gusty reef]

give them to me then I need them for savior

[marsh wing]

might be the same guy that was trying to scalp Trimadol. That was funny

[glass dawn]

Sorry, Im greedy, no.

[split rapids]

yeah. i bought it linked my account and dont need to even launch epic games launcher to play

[orchid raptor]

im a lil scared that would cause like issues since i bought tarkov on steam

its crazy to me that arena is 35 bucks and 12% tax on the website

[split rapids]

yea

[marsh wing]

#screenshots message
@gusty reef @glossy hound @little willow
4 cultists total

[gusty reef]

insane

[marsh wing]

im really hyped for that fucking OLD HOUSE DEPOT KEY BABY

im really hoping to fill an entire key case with marked keys before this event leave

[subtle valve]

Priest had Acid Green flare!

[gusty reef]

this is the greed God warned of in the bible

[thorn token]

use it on the boss event

[marsh wing]

there is someone else in here that has one

[thorn token]

have killa and tagilla fight the other bosses for you

[gusty reef]

gluttony is a sin and boy am I fat

[thorn token]

or kabans gang

[marsh wing]

today is one of those days where im glad im unemployed

(i got an interview tomorrow and another tuesday)

[wintry cobalt]

nah but whats gonna happen is im gonna run into them one time, kill them and theyre gonna have 18 machinery keys in their pockets

[marsh wing]

one of them, did have a machinery key for me

[wintry cobalt]

this is like 8 in a row now

[short flume]

just tried the reserve boss event and i extracted with 47k exp

[marsh wing]

and scav case just gave me radar commandant key and 21ws

[tidal egret]

Are all scav bosses on reserve?

[gusty reef]

yup

[orchid raptor]

goodluck bro

[marsh wing]

bro i need a thicc item case like now

[wintry cobalt]

me loading without my mag in my gun

[tidal egret]

Is there specific spots for them or do they just spawn randomly

[gusty reef]

randomly

[tidal egret]

This should be fun

[gusty reef]

nobody spawns at the radar tower so if you want to snipe you can go there

[proven marten]

hey the smugglers, do they carry red flares?

[spiral pecan]

guard ran into my gunfire rip -1.86 scav rep and a life lmao

[gusty reef]

do we think marked rooms themselves will stay buffed or should I like lock in, grind keys for a few hours, and then loot marked rooms the rest of the night

[wintry cobalt]

genuinely

what the fuck

[marsh wing]

fuck you mean buffed?

[wintry cobalt]

its been an hour and a half

[marsh wing]

rip bro

[wintry cobalt]

and i havent seen one cultist

[gusty reef]

multiple people have been saying they've been consistently getting sealed weapons cases and shit

[wintry cobalt]

i dont get it why does bsg hate me it took me 3 weeks to find a smoke mask

and now like what 9 raids in a row i dont even get to peek at a cultist

[marsh wing]

yeah, the sealed weapon cases are for the new quests. Only place to get them besides airdrop if im correct

[proven marten]

so far i know yeah. my red flaress are out

[rare birch]

dft is saying all bosses are on streets

[gusty reef]

ohhh okay so it's not a marked thing but rather just added to the pool for the quests

[rare birch]

can anyone confirm

[marsh wing]

no they are on reserve

[marsh wing]

afaik, yes

[rare birch]

damn was tryinna kill zyrachiy

[marsh wing]

he isnt spawning with the bosses, its just scav bosses

[vale atlas]

I've just done 10 factory runs 0 cultist, positive i'm doing something wrong lol

[marsh wing]

Zyrachiy, partisan, goons, and cultists are NOT spawning on reserve

[marsh wing]

unlucky

[rare birch]

yeah i know that

[gusty reef]

The longest I've gone between spawns is 5 atm

[ebon cobalt]

is there a scav kaban name?\

[rare birch]

but they do spawn on streets and interchange\\

[gusty reef]

no?

[marsh wing]

idk what he's talking about

[rare birch]

wheres everyone finding the smugglers at then

[marsh wing]

all maps basically

[gusty reef]

shoreline is where most people are killing them

[marsh wing]

just go to smuggler camp on shoreline

[rare birch]

bet

[forest patio]

cant wait for one of the smugglers to have a radian m4 on him or something

[gusty reef]

do they run THAT meta of kits? I haven't gone looking for them yet

[marsh wing]

i fucking doubt they will lol

[forest patio]

oh idk but the g28 i found was pretty good lmao

[marsh wing]

i dont wanna go to customs now :(

[forest patio]

then dont

[wintry cobalt]

but come on man WHERE ARE THEY

[forest patio]

where are fucking what

[agile tinsel]

i just went to shoreline and got em there

[marsh wing]

the cultists on factory, he unlucky right now

[wintry cobalt]

10 in a row and nothing

ive gone through the whole map 10 times and all i got was some pmcs kills which i dont even need

[marsh wing]

i gotta take a break from factory to unlock other quests to unlock more factory quests :(

[normal horizon]

hey yall anybody know where the smugglers are spawning on shoreline?

[tough pawn]

mate reserve genuinely sucks right now

[torn pendant]

Last time I went cultist hunting I just ran around panda and fortress and customs got em twice in like 5 or 6 runs

[marsh wing]

smuggler camp

[proven marten]

the smuggler kits are like rogues and it scares me

[marsh wing]

they are 33% chance on factory right now bro

[gusty reef]

going through the whole map is a waste of time, do a lap around the surface and inside the building across from med tent. Then leave

[torn pendant]

Oh shit didnt know that

[wintry cobalt]

thats crazy! doesnt seem like it!

[proven marten]

and the eletric plant

[marsh wing]

started this morning. Ive pulled crazy keys today

[marsh wing]

i honestly feel bad for you bro

it sucks that everyone else is finding them but you

[wintry cobalt]

yeah i think so too but i havent seen one in 10 raids

[marsh wing]

you will get your cultists. I believe in you

[wintry cobalt]

11th times the charm amirite!

[short flume]

no wonder marked room keys are tanking so hard holyshit

[peak silo]

if scavs spawn first the cultists don't spawn

[gusty reef]

oh really? that's amazing to know actually

[open hatch]

dude cultist spawns is crazy xD 6 marked keys from 4 cultists

[prime trellis]

i have a half filled key case with only marked keys so far

[split rapids]

btw guys if theres any scavs on your night factory raid the cultists did not spawn. just so you know

[glossy hound]

priest has naded himself twice now

[prime trellis]

free keys

[vale atlas]

god i regret my choices, tried to use double barrel on them for that one quest and fuck me if none of the pellets wanted to land in the head

[prime trellis]

oh shit, i forgot about that task lmao

[open hatch]

yh every priest ive killed has tried to martydom me xD

[vale atlas]

Yeah its rough

1st cultists in 11 raids lol

[modern veldt]

always fun when guards track you through walls as well

[open hatch]

one got close but i hoped away xD

[prime trellis]

honestly best way would probably be nnot looking at the cultists and getting close enough to them to trigger their attempted stab before turning and blasting em

[marsh wing]

ive been run up on by two sektants so far

like 1s from being stabbed each time

[open hatch]

i spotted mine while sniping smugglers

[gusty reef]

I died once to the poison so far with 6 keys in my safe pocket lmao

[prime trellis]

well, good thing those keys are useful even without FIR

[open hatch]

i carry the antidote for that reason

[marsh wing]

i dont think they can enter the broken silo tank guys

[modern veldt]

I got all three, but maaan was it bs. AP20 did almost nothing

[toxic patio]

so just afk there?

is that the strat? we're optimizing it in real time so

[gusty reef]

I was running a throwaway kit, I'd rather have the XTG-12 than the gun I brought with me lmao

[rare birch]

yeah just went shoreline ran into the smugglers absolutely smoked them

[peak silo]

m4a1 with m855 is easy to kill cultists

[toxic patio]

i prefer .300 blackout

[pine sinew]

are there static spawns for the locked cases like the last time this event was going

[marsh wing]

possible, i can hear them sprinting on metal all over

[toxic patio]

hmm

[marsh wing]

one stopped around the tank, he didnt push until i stepped out

[toxic patio]

i still have trouble even finding them but so far it seems like the metal tanks are the best spot to get them to run towards you

just do laps in that hole for a minute or two

[wintry cobalt]

FINALLY

2 sektants and the priest himself baby only took almost 2 whole hours

one of the sektants was in the extract area lmao i barely looted him

[gusty reef]

how many keys

[wintry cobalt]

that was 6 hours ago actually

3 weeks for a smoke mask and 2 hours for cultists

[open hatch]

valid xD i was bringing a timmy friend becasue of all the keys

[wintry cobalt]

2x rb-bk, rb-pkpm, chek 13, abandoned factory and polikhim

[marsh wing]

CONGRATS

[toxic patio]

so far i've found 4 of every single reserve marked key

and none of anything else.

[pseudo kayak]

what's this smugglers thing im seeing?

[open hatch]

MONEY!

[split rapids]

you must be doing something wrong since its real easy to know if they are there in less than 1 minute lmao

[wintry cobalt]

ok mr chad thanks for the input, so invaluable!

[split rapids]

i already said how to know instantly if the cultists spawned

[marsh wing]

INTERCHANGE PLAN MAP WHILE ON FACTORY LETS GOOO

[gusty reef]

if scavs spawn immediately in your raid there are no cultists

[tiny axle]

Smuggler event. Hop in, get the bulldogs quest from peacekeeper and chase them mfers down

[toxic patio]

what does that- huh?

[pseudo kayak]

well are they like bosses? or

[toxic patio]

aren't the plan maps useless outside of their map??

[marsh wing]

priest can carry extract papers on any map

i got two other map codes on another run

[tiny axle]

Nah more between scavs and PMCs in difficulty. Should be a few spawning on each map (other than factory or labs I think)

[toxic patio]

lol

[dense sentinel]

damn went into a night factory on a whim killed two cultists and got 3 marked keys what a way to start the night after work

[toxic patio]

i'm still pissy i can't find the damn fuckers.

[tiny axle]

But their gear is great and always perfect durability

[wintry cobalt]

yeah i found one as well, 2 pocket slots wasted

[edgy cipher]

Was just scrolling up, I keep seeing people mention "Smugglers" I just woke up

[gusty reef]

oooooops accidentally just got my first run through of the wipe :( I thought killing 3 scavs was enough

[pseudo kayak]

wait wtf how lucky are you to get cultists on factory

[toxic patio]

i have eight run throughs

[marsh wing]

this run had 3x314 keys for me andmore

[marsh wing]

spawn rate is 33% right now

[gusty reef]

they have a 33% spawn rate on factory rn

[pseudo kayak]

JUST rn?

[marsh wing]

everyone is ignoring reserve and farming cultists

[prime trellis]

praise nikita for this golden rain

[dense sentinel]

i dont know i did my first run of the night and did a night factory just to do a quick smash and grab on safes and maaaybe a what if i see some cultists and two spawned and i got 3 keys

[gusty reef]

I'm on a bad streak, @wintry cobalt passed off his luck or lack thereof

[marsh wing]

started this morning

[tiny axle]

I'll get around to the cluster that is reserve

[dense sentinel]

was mainly just looking for a quick factory to burn some time so i can go do an actual night raid on shoreline

[wintry cobalt]

im about to go on a 20 no cultist streak btw

[pseudo kayak]

where are they even and in how much of a bunch for cultists on factory

[wintry cobalt]

bro does one run and finds them

[marsh wing]

i just got 3 back to back....

[wintry cobalt]

yeah ok

[dense sentinel]

yea got a dorm 314 key, a rb-bk and check13 key

[gentle pulsar]

i just got like all the good keys in one run on the first run

why do they prone?? 😭

[vale atlas]

Wtf does the m203 attach to lmao, i cannot figure out any combination of things that lworks

[gusty reef]

it's to hide

[dense sentinel]

i saw some dude laying prone as i turned the corner out of spawn and went oh boy cultists

[marsh wing]

REMEMBER TO CHECK YOUR FACTORY RUNS FOR LOCKED CASES. THEY CAN SPAWN ON THE FLOOR

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

[open hatch]

they wanna sneak and knife you

[gentle pulsar]

well it got two of them killed lmfao

[dense sentinel]

he got up real fast when i aimed my rpd at him

[gusty reef]

the 14.5 inch or 13.7 inch barrel

[open hatch]

i mean i would too

[vale atlas]

tyty

[gusty reef]

those are the only two that work

[latent void]

4 factory no cultist

[dense sentinel]

yea been having fun running around with that RPD prapor gave me for test drive with a few drums of PP ammo

[split rapids]

bro has fun with pps

[open hatch]

basically meta atm xD

[pseudo kayak]

anyone know where they spawn on factory and how many in a group of em if they do?

[tender hound]

haha he said pp

[dense sentinel]

yea with the ergo changes for its drum mags its got serviceable ergo for a lmg

[open hatch]

30 ergo pkm is silly xD

[rare birch]

whats the point of the questline if theres no achievement

[tender hound]

A sense of pride and accomplishment

[rare birch]

hell naw

[prime trellis]

lmao

[marsh wing]

then dont do it. Go play something else

[toxic patio]

Taco is the goto for learning how to find them, but 90% of the time it's just dumb luck

[marsh wing]

it is 100% dumb luck

[prime trellis]

i turn na corner to see the priest pull out a nade and throw it at a wall and die

[tiny axle]

💰💸💵

[prime trellis]

i swear to god this priest ai lmao

[rare birch]

or play the game and dont do the quest line

[marsh wing]

just run around until you find them. Half the time, your priest is laying down looking in some random corner or he naded himself to death

[wintry cobalt]

damn daniel back at it again with no cultists

[tiny axle]

I had one legit look at me and run away like a cartoon character lmao

[tender hound]

the "Smugglers" are running around with absolutely cracked gear btw. I just pulled a full Orsis off one with 4 mags of M80

[marsh wing]

iirc, you dont even like playing tarkov anymore

[short flume]

i think they forgot to nerf factory key rate or something

there's no way it's supposed to be like this

[wintry cobalt]

they forgot to buff the spawn rate ngl

[short flume]

cause me and my friend are printing marked room keys

[tender hound]

where do you find those?

[scarlet pier]

??event

[quasi apex]

A new questline has arrived! Start it by accepting "Bulldogs Under The Rug" from Peacekeeper!

[pseudo kayak]

is there a set amount that spawn on factory

[tender hound]

I only got one for a bedroom that's apparently on lighthouse I'll never get to...

[edgy cipher]

oh no, I've been having a good run farming the rusty key the last 3 days to help boost me through the 500 mil hand in. Now the economy is spoiled again and the marked keys value have tanked

[fervent peak]

Hol up, cultist are 33%? Where is this info

[gusty reef]

do you guys think once this event ends they'll realize that they fucked up with this and then nerf marked rooms into the ground even harder

[wintry cobalt]

theyll forget about rb-vo again

can they buff the bedroom lighthouse one tho ive literally never gotten shit from it

[gusty reef]

do they even know lighthouse has a marked room anymore

[rare birch]

yeah right pretty sure they dont even know its in the game

[prime trellis]

whoever said scavs don't spawn with cultists was correct

[rare birch]

your lucky to get one streamer item from that abomination of a marked room

[marsh wing]

dataminers found it this morning. BSG has given us nothing but a picture of some newspaper and flares today

[marsh wing]

1 priest and 2-3 warriors

[pseudo kayak]

alr time to run around factory ig

[marsh wing]

ive found them basically anywhere in factory

[gusty reef]

is there a datamine discord btw? where do you get datamines from

[marsh wing]

i cant say. Delta showed me their crystal ball this morning

[grizzled yoke]

To farm killa on reserve, where does he spawn?

[gusty reef]

randomized

he has no set spawn

[grizzled yoke]

Do the bosses spawn on glukhar spawns?

[wintry cobalt]

luckily for me scavs spawn every raid but one so far

[pseudo kayak]

and scavs mean no show right

[marsh wing]

people said under hermetic, but i found him on train platform

[marsh wing]

possibly

[pseudo kayak]

for cultists on factory

[gusty reef]

nope I think it's just a random spawn zone entirely

[marsh wing]

i have found scavs and cultists in the same raid

[gusty reef]

yeah

[grizzled yoke]

Scav spawn then...

[pseudo kayak]

ohp okay ig

[gusty reef]

scavs never spawn first wave if cultists spawn
they only spawn later

[mystic mesa]

are the new guys worth hunting or is their loot average?

[marsh wing]

okay, that makes sense with this last raid. I didnt have any scavs until a while after i killed cultists

[wintry cobalt]

i just throw a zarya to check if scavs spawned then idk

i go fuck myself when i hear the scavs scream

[marsh wing]

even if i dont find cultists, i still check safes and looked for locked cases

[gusty reef]

I run around until I kill enough scavs to not get a run through and then I just leave and requeue

I don't even search safes

[marsh wing]

not even locked cases?

[prime trellis]

?? he's in the supply bunker with tagilla

[toxic patio]

can only one cultist and priest spawn as a possibility

[marsh wing]

wiki says 1 and 2-3

[toxic patio]

i can't find the others just the two.

[wintry cobalt]

where do the locked cases spawn

[pallid merlin]

didnt know shturty is now on reserve too. Does he have a stash aswell?

[wintry cobalt]

yeah its in rb-pp

[wintry cobalt]

this is a lie

[west mist]

so are there a set number of cultists on factory?

[marsh wing]

There are like 6 different spawn locations. I can confirm that more than 1 can spawn in a raid
https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Locked_case

[open hatch]

all of the smugglers have mint weapons that tend to be well built so up to you but ssem to use raider AI so up to you personally id hunt cultists before they kill the drop rate on keys

[marsh wing]

1 priest, 2-3 warriors

[prime trellis]

33% chance, 1 priest 2-3 guards

[latent void]

Basically if theres scavs that means no cultists?

[marsh wing]

i will say, im getting a SHITLOAD of 9x21 BT

[mystic mesa]

arent smugglers 100%?

[marsh wing]

they might be able to spawn later in the raid, i dont know yet

[prime trellis]

enough BP and vector AP

[toxic patio]

if scavs spawn off rip, then no cultists, from what i've seen

[pallid merlin]

factory bugged?

[prime trellis]

why

[toxic patio]

intentional

[glossy bloom]

Gonna bust on those Key drop rates, sadly I might not get time before they patch it

[gusty reef]

if there are scavs when you first load in there are no cultists
cultists will prevent scavs from spawning until second wave several minutes in

[marsh wing]

bro i already busted on these rates

@gusty reef check DM bozo

[prime trellis]

i have a keycase half full of marked keys from today only

the event has items in marked rooms, it's intentional

[glossy bloom]

I need the keys, bout to run factory like a crazy man

[toxic patio]

6 keys one raid, funny shit

[pallid merlin]

marked keys aint gonna be worth nothing

[wintry cobalt]

ugh

[pallid merlin]

they prob gonna wipe us lolololol

[toxic patio]

ts probably only gonna last one tday

[scarlet violet]

anything good from the smuggler quest line?

[wintry cobalt]

how big of a sample size do i need to scientifically say im extremely unlucky

[glossy bloom]

PKM from what I have seen, gives you a big F-off gun, sadly not a PKP, but meh

[prime trellis]

they'll go back eventually

[marsh wing]

ive been running factory for the last 7hrs lol

ive racked up like 25 marked keys easily

[prime trellis]

i wonder if this is a event chain that'll slowly lead up to the icebreaker

[scarlet violet]

i mean, since i already have the pkm trade then it's useless right?

[wintry cobalt]

ive found only 1 set of cultists in 2 so like

[pseudo kayak]

what do u bring personally

[marsh wing]

i lost my 545's this morning so im just using an MK47 with drum mag. PS or higher

[glossy bloom]

Sadly needing money means I need to work, so I can't run it for 7 hours 😭

[prime trellis]

i love my 308 MDR

[marsh wing]

sadly but gladly im unemployed

[glossy bloom]

I mean...with how easy bluefolders are now, kinda

[pseudo kayak]

ah okay so i can just use my mcx lol

[night pilot]

how many smugglers can spawn per zone on streets? wiki says they spawn in groups of 4-5 but ive only ever found 2 at a time

[glossy bloom]

muh 10 hour shifts hate me

[marsh wing]

yeah, cultists arent hard to drop

[wintry cobalt]

only time i died to them was when i was in an open field with a bolt action and i didnt know they were there

[marsh wing]

i used to work 11-12's. Got fed up with management, told them to go fuck themselves and went home

[prime trellis]

very easy, you kill the first the others come running and then it's only searching for the preist who will likely nade hismelf in panic

[wintry cobalt]

granted ive seen them thrice in total

[open hatch]

on ground zero and interchange i believe but ive ran into them on most maps today

[marsh wing]

no bro. He is laying on the floor looking at bugs

[scarlet violet]

i killed 4 thinking it was pmcs xD

[gusty reef]

what do you need to open locked cases?

[glossy bloom]

my man

[mystic mesa]

eftbosses website says 100% on most maps

[night pilot]

what map?

[scarlet violet]

street

[open hatch]

well unless they cant reach you then they run around and shoot back when they get the chance xD

[night pilot]

it might seem crazy what i'm about to say but you need case keys

[marsh wing]

please dont talk about datamining websites in the server. Mods dont take kindly to it

[scarlet violet]

and then another 4 in shoreline

[marsh wing]

Datamining is against EFT and BSG TOS just an fyi

[mystic mesa]

thats a datamining website? my bad i didnt know

[west mist]

how easy is looking for the priest btw?

[night pilot]

in one zone or in one raid total? they spawn at the mall and in front of the cinema

[mystic mesa]

i just thought it was a website for spawns

[marsh wing]

yeah, all of the numbers they provide arent publicly given by BSG. They have given us nothing today

[mystic mesa]

ok yeah thts my bad xd

[marsh wing]

use a flashlight and check the floor

[wintry cobalt]

yeah i found 1 set of cultists in 15 raids

this is just not funny is it

[marsh wing]

all good. Just make sure to not talk about any website that basically isnt the wiki

[open hatch]

fairly he sits around while you kill his boys then runs out last most times.. and like someone else said he has a habit of panic nading him slef while you kill him xD

[scarlet violet]

they spawned in front of cinema on streets and on shoreline in the military zone

[gusty reef]

my new best factory run is 9 marked keys, a locked case, and 4 tier 6 plates

[marsh wing]

NO HE LIKES TO LAY ON THE FLOOR AND LOOK AT BUGS

[tough pawn]

what's the reward for finishing the taskline?

[wintry cobalt]

thats cool my best factory run will never be topped because i wont ever find cultists again

[marsh wing]

the last 3 times i found him, he has just been laying on the ground looking in a random direction that isnt at me

[night pilot]

holy hell

[marsh wing]

you can usually walk right up to him

[open hatch]

had him doing that on a mound on customs last week when hunting them for quests.. i killed all his boys and was like better go looking for him. nearly stepped on him xD

[gusty reef]

I killed 3 sektants and almost missed the priest that last run because he made no noise, I heard him take a single step and then tracked him from that as I was trying to exfil

[marsh wing]

he gonna "bite" you and poison you bro

[open hatch]

nad he chose the big boom boom

[prime trellis]

i find the priest easy to track down because there's usually open doors leading to him

[tiny axle]

Where are you guys finding smugglers on GZ?

[distant obsidian]

your not

[wintry cobalt]

like the one time they spawn i get 5 keys and a keycard which was very nice

[open hatch]

ive seen them 3 times underground once near the wine shop

[wintry cobalt]

however

[night pilot]

i see them walking from emercom to nakatani

anywhere is a good guess

[marsh wing]

do i need to progress the questline to unlock the cases? I cant find the craft

[icy rock]

I found smuggler spawn near power station on interchange

[marsh wing]

nevermind, i see the quest now

[prime trellis]

they can spawn at any scav spawn

[glossy bloom]

going factory for cultists is great, cause if I don't get em, I can do postman pat

[open hatch]

not sure im on the give the load of cases and it was there in my workshop

[marsh wing]

ive been doing factory tasks all day

[glossy bloom]

if I do, hell on earth

cause sawed off secondary

[marsh wing]

you need to do PK quests to unlock the craft

[latent void]

8th in a row no cultist

[marsh wing]

im getting ready to do secrets of Polikhim

[latent void]

i am the most unlucky

[open hatch]

ah thats fair ive done up to the flare one and kinda stopped when i saw about the cultist stuff xD

[glossy bloom]

should probably advance "They are already here" so these priest kills count

[marsh wing]

ive been doing cultists all day and havent touched the quest line lol

[gusty reef]

I literally just broke a 9 or 10 streak man
just keep working at it

[rare mauve]

customs

[open hatch]

exactly why i got excited

[gusty reef]

same lmao

[marsh wing]

oh shit yeah

i havent done any of my story quests

[prime trellis]

already got those kils lmao, i just gotta find info in marked rooms now

[open hatch]

i switched after my 6th head eyes of the week xD (they have been my only deaths)

[tidal egret]

Is the smugglers loot any good?

[marsh wing]

i switched after dying 3 times on reserve

[night pilot]

nah

[open hatch]

what trying to fight all the bosses like a crazy person

[jaunty rock]

its me or the markets are cheap?

[glossy bloom]

getting the marked keys is gonna be good, so I can do the broadcast quests, and get the cult quests for PK with 314

[wintry cobalt]

im doing one more and if they dont spawn i retire for the night because idk anymore

[marsh wing]

my cat caused my 3rd death. Threw her out of the room

[open hatch]

its good guns and armour but mid ammo

[wintry cobalt]

the RNG in this game can be so demotivating

[scarlet violet]

what is the chance of getting cultist on factory rn?

[wintry cobalt]

apparently 33%

[tidal egret]

Damn ammo would be like the one thing I’d go for

[scarlet violet]

it was so fun to kill 7 bosses in one raid :D

[open hatch]

honestly i have this weird bug where my head likes to attract bullets when i peak for 2 seconds yet ive got mates who stand in the open shooting at bosses with 0 return fire xD

[scarlet violet]

sad i didn't have time to kill all of the bosses that could be in the map

[rare birch]

within 2 factory raids for a total of 20 mins i got 10 marked keys 😭

[open hatch]

i tried snowball last week needed bigpipe got 1 tapped from 200m by knight when i saw him xD

[marsh wing]

i did find my 5th muhawi today

[west mist]

spawns in, guns down 12 scavs in like half a minute, sad no cultists.

[gusty reef]

I am sitting on 22 rn

[light root]

wait cultists are on factory?

[jaunty rock]

why lol?

[wintry cobalt]

im sorry but this isnt funny

[rare birch]

cultists

[gusty reef]

they're always on factory they just got a buffed spawn rate rn

[jaunty rock]

wait cultist spawn rate went up?

[wintry cobalt]

17 raids

[scarlet violet]

those guys got rekt so many times when i was trying to do capturing outposts xD

[light root]

rip key prices

[gusty reef]

33% on factory

[gusty reef]

yeah econ is fried

[jaunty rock]

noway bro and i went to farm them on customs

[rare birch]

im holding the keys they will go up in value later on

[open hatch]

my mates can stand in the open shotting at them i get 1 tapped its funny at this point xD

[timid tendon]

9 keys from one factory night run + like 3m in loose loot lmfao

[jaunty rock]

that explains their price rn, where they spawn?

[prime trellis]

it was going to eb fried regardless, neither mode has wipes now

[gusty reef]

any scav spawn

[jaunty rock]

cool

[toxic patio]

all scav spawns

[scarlet violet]

if i stay just a little too long in a peek i get killed too, but i just need to be better than them xD
they are just AI after all

[marsh wing]

i have half a keycase full of marked room keys

[light root]

tf is a smuggler

[prime trellis]

all in all the keys from this event will eventtually dry up

[wintry cobalt]

good for you ive seen them once

[toxic patio]

i have a row now

[gusty reef]

I have like a quarter of mine rn? maybe more?

[marsh wing]

I SAID I FEEL BAD FOR YOU BRO

[tidal egret]

So cultists are more frequent on factory currently just to confirm?

[wintry cobalt]

i know

[prime trellis]

i have half, gotta keep grinding

[open hatch]

earlier me and my mate were starting the smuggler quest he was stood in the open and bigpipe ignored him and was staring at me in cover xD

[gusty reef]

yea, 33%

[wintry cobalt]

i literally dont understand

[scarlet violet]

crazy luck xD

[gusty reef]

33% for everyone but @wintry cobalt

[toxic patio]

they literally prone on the fucking floor Karlj

[gusty reef]

he gets 0.33

[pseudo kayak]

zamn im unlucky asf apparently, seen scavs first thing like 4 raids in a row

[wintry cobalt]

bro they dont spawn

[amber sigil]

Some AI named "Skladen" abselutely lazered me on ground zero, shooting extremely and hitting every shot

[wintry cobalt]

every raid i hear scavs screaming from the first second of the raid

[tidal egret]

I’ve never fought them on factory can the spawn anywhere?

[open hatch]

nah we have established the AI have brainworms when fighting them but terminator Ai fighting me.. BSGs secret adaptive difficulty

[pseudo kayak]

TRUE ME TOO

[gusty reef]

yeas

[tidal egret]

Gotcha thanks

[latent void]

Non stop scavs at start of spawn

[ionic moon]

[pseudo kayak]

basically if i hear a scav first thing i dip lol

[wintry cobalt]

ive cleared the map 15 times out of my 18 attempts and the one time they spawned was near me thats it

[pallid merlin]

thats absurd. Think im one and done. LIterally gave me all 3 reserve keys and 314

[wintry cobalt]

im doing 20 runs and im out

2 more and i give up

[open hatch]

i plan to do it all of tomorrow

[pallid merlin]

is this an actual event?

[toxic patio]

kralj if there's a scav, extract immediately, if not, it's cultist

[pseudo kayak]

nononono dw dw do +5 more after 20, the goons weren't spawning for me then i did those 5 and got em

[glossy hound]

you have just missed them lol

[pseudo kayak]

wish me goodluck on cultists NOW

[weary ice]

Why is everyone farming cultists do they have that good of loot

[open hatch]

[weary ice]

Right as I reinstall aswell

[open hatch]

#screenshots message

(please dont open it Kralj)

[weary ice]

I genuinely gagged

[marsh wing]

80% are from today. maybe 7hrs of farming

[weary ice]

Fuck school bro I’m playing tarkov 😭

[marsh wing]

i might go for two full keycases....

[ionic moon]

does anyone have a AR-10 KAC URX 4 14.5 inch handguard and would be to kind and put it on the flea? pls dm when you put it there, im down to pay some decent schmoney please im begging

[mint bough]

does anyone know what a "smuggler" is? is it jsut a random homeless man or an actual enemy?

[marsh wing]

scav with raider ai and gear

[open hatch]

beefed scav with better AI and better gear

[ionic moon]

heavy on that better ai

head eyes'd me from like 50m

[mint bough]

and they can be found at the smuggler camp I assume?

[ionic moon]

every map has spawns

[open hatch]

nope lots of spawns

[marsh wing]

yeah. most are being found on shoreline. Im only just now about to start the quest line

[open hatch]

GZ is pretty good for them.. as they spawn when the cultists do..

[marsh wing]

i gotta go work on other quests before i go back to factory

[ionic moon]

https://youtu.be/AgApK4rlDIU?si=5b_z4kUsLebBbNuR&t=65 at 1:05 verybadscav shows all the spawns

[open hatch]

NAAAAAH cultists

[prime trellis]

i really should keep farming factory but i need ot do the event line

[modern veldt]

Servers getting bad again

pings hitting 500+

[light root]

how much do marked keys sell to therapist for?

[open hatch]

remove that thought from your head

[modern veldt]

[wintry cobalt]

THANK FUCK

[open hatch]

[open hatch]

he has a hood the others dont

[pseudo kayak]

ah okay

[icy rock]

Wait are the smugglers friendly with scavs?

[pseudo kayak]

does the priest even rush you cuz i killed 3 warriors and buddy was nowhere to be seen

[wintry cobalt]

alert alert i have found them in slightly over 10% of raids

[light root]

do we have to run nights for priests? or they daytime spawning?

[open hatch]

the others look like scavs in long coats he looks like a edgelord with his hood up

[sturdy olive]

while yall are running factory make sure to grab locked cases. there are 6 possible spawns and you can find them here
https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Locked_case

[open hatch]

ive seen him chilling in the corner after i killed his bros

[pseudo kayak]

ah so he will NOT rush you like his warriors

[open hatch]

stared at me and naded hiomself

[wintry cobalt]

the 2nd sektant was just chilling in the metal rafters

[open hatch]

batman?

[shy pollen]

He ran from me

[scarlet pier]

he has 5 pockets the cultists have 4

[open hatch]

chase him and stab him with the knife

[glossy bloom]

bam postman and forklift certified

[shy pollen]

Also tarkov restarted me after I linked steam accounts bro

[glossy bloom]

[open hatch]

F

[shy pollen]

Tbh THANK YOU TARKOV I WANTED TO

[pseudo kayak]

you cannot get a voip or any real cue out of them right

[open hatch]

i wiped for 1.0 dunno if i could be botherd again

[open hatch]

only quiet footsteps

thermals cannot be insured

[wintry cobalt]

if they dont spawn next raid im off

[light root]

They aren't super mega quiet, you can still hear them well enough

[modern veldt]

GPNVG

[wintry cobalt]

quads arent thermals

[light root]

quads arent thermals

[open hatch]

quads arnt thermals..

[twilit gulch]

priest isnt spawning only his minions?

[wintry cobalt]

he is spawning but hes in a corner ratting

[gusty reef]

you know inflation is bad when I got two marked keys and didn't even feel like it was worth it lmao

[open hatch]

T7 is the only thermal goggles

[fervent peak]

Priest will 99% of the time be the last one you kill

Also how expensive are marked keys right now, so I can grab a few for gamba

[open hatch]

can also hear them stand up and pull the knife xD

[gusty reef]

no cue but it's really easy to tell if they spawned or not, it's just a matter of finding them all

[light root]

flashbang the air and it pisses them off sometimes

[peak swallow]

is there a way to create channels?

[open hatch]

find and go get stabbed xD

[pseudo kayak]

i cant stop until i kill the priest

[wintry cobalt]

wow you wont believe what happened

[peak swallow]

voice chanels or just wait for the ones are there

[amber sigil]

gpnvg18 is a night vision device not a thermal imaging device

[pseudo kayak]

will he literally corner camp forever and never push me

[light root]

if theyare alreadya ggro'd, they voiceline when you thro nades

[pearl void]

Anyone know where Goons are? People keep reporting them on the wrong maps

[open hatch]

ngl youve probabaly waled past him 3 times already xD

[wintry cobalt]

ive killed the cultists twice and the priest was the first lol

[pseudo kayak]

okay so he will never rush me like his lil buddies

[open hatch]

no got nades?

[pearl void]

Priest is 100% peaceful btw

[vestal onyx]

how do you open these locked cases once you get a key?

[wintry cobalt]

2/20 that is literally insane

[open hatch]

spam some around and see if he runs?

[gusty reef]

people are reporting "wrong maps" because they are spawning on every map they rotate to

they can spawn on all 4 rn

[wintry cobalt]

hes run at me with his knife both times ive seen him

[sturdy olive]

in the workbench

[vestal onyx]

thought i checked

[pearl void]

Doesn’t shoot anything, then suicide bombs himself when you find him after all his cultists are dead

[pseudo kayak]

i thought nades werent as useful as running around

[open hatch]

10/10 would watch again

[pearl void]

Lmao

[tidal egret]

I’m on my 3rd and haven’t seen them yet

[mystic mesa]

suicide bombs? seriously?? xdd

[open hatch]

depends where he is as every AI runs from nades

[wintry cobalt]

well i hope you have better luck than i do

[pearl void]

Heard this, confirmed confirmed?

[sturdy olive]

you need to accept the quest Thirty Pieces of Silver

[gusty reef]

it's been like this for about a week

[pearl void]

Yeah, makes it a lil hard to kill him for your quests

[open hatch]

yh he has a habit of martydoming himself when you find him

[mystic mesa]

thats actually amazing

[forest patio]

i just found locked case on the filing cabins in gz lmg room lets go

[pseudo kayak]

I WILL find him istfg

[pearl void]

Just walk around near bushes or hotspots until you hear a grenade pull, then kill him before he blows himself and maybe u up

It’s an intended mechanic

[open hatch]

have you checked.. BEHIND YOU!

[gusty reef]

can confirm

[tidal egret]

It’s only night time correct, they didn’t change that?

[light root]

haveyet to have this happen 🙁

[gusty reef]

yup

[tidal egret]

I know I’ll have bad luck also

[open hatch]

im 3/3 with him looking at me and going you cant have this kill.. then i dome him

[little willow]

he just kills himself in my case

[pearl void]

The only thing idk is if he is hostile after he tries to suicide nade, but I doubt it

[gusty reef]

he's pulled out his grenade every time I've rushed him and just took my BT to the face

[pearl void]

He’s fun to melee as he literally won’t fight back even if you shoot or melee him

[open hatch]

ngl with the ammo ive seen him have im glad he 'Opts out'

[little willow]

#videos message

[marsh wing]

time to quest it out brothers

[wintry cobalt]

dont ask me dawg this luck is insane

[vestal onyx]

best place for contraband if you dont have red flares? marked rooms?

[pseudo kayak]

does the priest even have really any diff loot as opposed to his lil chuds

[pearl void]

Either SPT or you got the wrong guy

[open hatch]

yes..

[glossy delta]

not sure if this has already been answered but how long is the smugglers event supposed to last

[wintry cobalt]

yeah ok thank you for your input genius youre so smart and allknowing

[open hatch]

good ammo his knife and keys but they changed it so all them have keys atm so not missing out unless its for a quest

[wintry cobalt]

me when some random shitter tells me what i see with my own eyes in my own game

[marsh wing]

ill say it again. majority of the time when i find him, he is laying on the floor looking at bugs and not paying any attention to me

[pearl void]

Or maybe mad rare, but he’s never pulled knife or shot at me in the hundreds of times I’ve had him

[light root]

What does killing cultists as a scav do, rep-wise

[pseudo kayak]

or my pride, i need to up my k/d against him

[pearl void]

Yupp

[twin sundial]

well there wasn’t any patch notes so nobody knows .. also no one knows how to open their locked chests yet anyway

[gusty reef]

nothing cultists are their own faction

[smoky scaffold]

my favorite part about this game is when the boss bodies evaporate because obviously EVERYONE IS MADE OF FUCKING WATER NOW

[marsh wing]

he will aggro if you get too close

[open hatch]

hahaha yes im all for that

[tiny axle]

Yeah smugglers can spawn on emercom headed to nakatani. Or at least wandering that way. 3 so you can sit in bank 2nd floor and snipe them

[twin sundial]

did you see my amazing boss fight story

[glossy delta]

damn okay, thank you!😂

[light root]

what are smugglers carrying

[wintry cobalt]

no clearly im playing SPT actually

[smoky scaffold]

killed steerman and went to loot his body

[pseudo kayak]

cbj seems to work perfectly against em

[marsh wing]

i think boss hp or something was lowered while they are on reserve. I triple tapped tagilla through helm with BT today

[smoky scaffold]

body wasn’t fucking there

[gusty reef]

pinging butch rn

[pearl void]

Can you send yt shorts in the clips channel? Cuz I got one

[open hatch]

have you tired a straw for the loot?

[sturdy olive]

the locked case? you do it at the workbench after accepting the quest Thirty Pieces of Silver

[tender hound]

no, you can do that consistently

[marsh wing]

you can share YT links in here

[smoky scaffold]

if i could turn into a cloud i would have

[pearl void]

O

[gusty reef]

what do locked cases have in them?

[wicked atlas]

RE: Injectors (stims) massive price increase?

Do you's think its cause more people are playing suddenly with new update and update news stuff

[tiny axle]

Good kits and a case key usually

[tidal egret]

Are you on local servers? I’m local and haven’t seen them yet. I wonder if that has anything to do with it.

[marsh wing]

oh. Then i guess im just becoming goated with the sauce

[open hatch]

i feel for you.. had the heal bug a few times where the despawn if they die when healing

[marsh wing]

"Random barter items and weapon mods as well as a chance for a contraband box."

[tender hound]

BT is cracked anyway, shreds armor

[wintry cobalt]

its factory

[tiny axle]

I've gotten some decent loot to sell like antique clocks and stuff, idk if its totally random

[light root]

hope they make it so activating the marked rooms aggros the entire map

[mystic mesa]

ngl bro i love running labyrinth but theres genuinely no reason to run it over any other map because of how straight dogshit the loot is rn

[smoky scaffold]

i saw him drop too i knew he died i just saw his name in my kill list

[pearl void]

Like, Priest is just a chill guy
https://youtube.com/shorts/mGKW-CG0RV4

[tidal egret]

Is it only local? I never check so I have no clue.

[mystic mesa]

genuinely needs a heavy buff to make viable

[open hatch]

pain

[smoky scaffold]

i guess i’m blind and deaf and schizophrenic

[tidal egret]

I see now

[wintry cobalt]

unless youre coop

[open hatch]

ive gone 3 times and all 3 tagilla has eaten full 60rds and laughed at me and my buddy 2 taps him after xD

[smoky scaffold]

i got a bitcoin tho

[gusty reef]

factory is not only local, you can opt into bsg severs

[prime trellis]

you know what's fucking funny, so far i can reliably get the priest to kill himself via nade

[mystic mesa]

they go down so easily but drop 0 loot other than ammo, you would be better off hunting the easier tig

[open hatch]

ah so you have the schizo debuff too? i see enemies appear in my periferals xD

[prime trellis]

he does not give a fuck if there is an obstable in the way, he is tossing that nade

[mystic mesa]

atleast that one drops keycards and shit

[wintry cobalt]

i literally

[open hatch]

my only quests left are in there..

[mystic mesa]

xddd

[wintry cobalt]

do not believe this

[mystic mesa]

they are so easy but they are annoying as hell

[wintry cobalt]

this is not real

like this actually isnt real

[tiny axle]

Still no cultists?

[wintry cobalt]

ive done

[open hatch]

you tried GZ at all or you just running factory?

[wintry cobalt]

22 runs

[light root]

that cant beright

[open hatch]

mix it up and go less insane xD

[marsh wing]

remember to check your air filter units boys

[wintry cobalt]

ive found them TWICE

[marsh wing]

im so so sorry bro

[prime trellis]

at this point i don't even need to waste bullets on the priest, the mann just kills himself

[pseudo kayak]

i hate when scavs dont voip, i literally threw a nade and nothing just running so i thought cultists

[ivory cairn]

Sometimes its just not your night.

[scarlet violet]

yo, is it normal that they don't appear?

[tiny axle]

Try GZ or customs, you either get a small map or a pretty predictable spawn

[pseudo kayak]

should i wait like 10s at start of match b4 throwing a nade or something?

[marsh wing]

OR THEY BUST DOWN THE DOOR FOR NO REASON

[wintry cobalt]

ive literally been running factory for almost 3 hours

and ive seen them twice

[prime trellis]

just toss a nade immediately

[open hatch]

ive had PMCs sit in silence and ambush me after pinging areas

[pseudo kayak]

someone donate me cultists spawn rate

[open hatch]

didnt pay your TV license

[tender hound]

AI doesn't 100% voiceline with nades and shouts, sometimes they are very sneaky

[gusty reef]

you can have mine I'll have to stop playing soon

[scarlet violet]

we are the three horseman of the 0% spawn ig @pseudo kayak @wintry cobalt

good to know i don't suffer alone

[tidal egret]

Just got them on my 5th raid

[open hatch]

can i be the forth "and he rode on a pale horse and head eyes was his name" xD

[scarlet pier]

more like their voicelines have a cooldown

[pseudo kayak]

nice 335 pal, I hope the timing chain goes out like mine did

[alpine vigil]

whats the meta gun u guys running to eliminate all scav bosses on reserve

[mystic mesa]

the new scavs are nothing special ngl

[scarlet violet]

do you have them not spawning?

[mystic mesa]

wiped them all in 5 seconds

[open hatch]

i mean ive seen them once today in 10 night raids

[wintry cobalt]

actually my spawn rate is like 9%

[scarlet violet]

then you can't xD

[open hatch]

i cry

[wintry cobalt]

genuinely its not that im missing them theyre legit not on the map

[open hatch]

im telling on you to the cultists xD

[scarlet violet]

please do

[glossy bloom]

these poor scavs and pmc's on factory; Using my labry kit so I can clean out one of my kits, and its the .45 vector

[tidal egret]

Damn man that’s rough. My first 335 ate a spark plug tip so I feel the pain. I baby this one like it’s a 10k mile m3.

[open hatch]

gotta exclude you further

[runic timber]

yo these cultists have hands holy

[tender hound]

it's very easy to tell. If you see a scav then the cultists didn't spawn, just cycle.

[scarlet violet]

it's already 0%

can't go any lower than that tbh

[open hatch]

yh gotta make it -50% so you see tagilla instead

[gusty reef]

I just got 7 keys and a keycard without the priest but had to leave because I started dying of starvation (forgot food)
that could've been my record 💔

[pseudo kayak]

my beautiful m3 sitting at 80k mi rn just had a coolant hose blow out 💔

[wintry cobalt]

good for you

[runic timber]

share the luck pls

[open hatch]

have you tried wearing the plague mask.. get in the spooky vibes

[ivory cairn]

just tossed a nade, heard no sounds, walked out, ran into 4 scavs. XD

[marsh wing]

im not speedrunning They are Already Here, you are

[wintry cobalt]

like what even is my luck in this game dude i dont understand

[scarlet violet]

hell no, not debuffing myself for vibes

[marsh wing]

you didnt check screenshots, did you? Please tell me you didnt

[wintry cobalt]

3 fucking weeks for a smoke mask

[scarlet violet]

isn't that normal?

[open hatch]

i mean i only die to head eyes so i wear what ever i want xD

[tender hound]

2 months for a bakezy cookbook... top that

[wintry cobalt]

it wasnt even just 3 weeks tho i found two smoke masks by level 20 and then for 33 levels i couldnt find one

[gusty reef]

I would but I'm too lazy to do that rn

[wintry cobalt]

id know if i found one because i loot those mfers every time

[open hatch]

you guys really get all the pain.. i had all of kappa with in a week of 1.0 just needed to do all the missions (then they added the new bits)

[scarlet violet]

then it wasn't that bad!

[marsh wing]

i got this and some other quests im gonna do to unlock more factory quests

[scarlet violet]

you found early, just didn't save them...

[wintry cobalt]

this is officially my last run as it will be 3am by the time im done

[wintry cobalt]

yeah not to mention the one (1) glorious E mask i found by the time i was able to finish kappa

[valid apex]

how long is this event going for this thing is awesome

[open hatch]

yh i was like i might aswell save them and sold half and just got them again.. worst was the dumbbell xD

[scarlet violet]

that goddamn fucking mask

[wintry cobalt]

i didnt save them cause theyre not supposed to be that rare...

[light root]

it's always 3am on factory 🙂

[open hatch]

i was missing the egg..

[scarlet violet]

well, after 1.0 i saved EVERY item that i needed

[valid apex]

IM GUESSING MORE THAN 1 DAY RIGHT

[scarlet violet]

that's how shitty my luck is when it matters

[open hatch]

week maybe 2 i think..

hope so atleast so dont quote me xD

[ivory cairn]

How do you open the locked pistol cases? Have a case key and no option in the workbench. Did I miss something?

[wintry cobalt]

doesnt help with spawning cultists tho

[open hatch]

pretty sure you need to be on the thirty peices of silver quest.

[scarlet violet]

btw, scav on 3am factory != cultists?

[light root]

wait are they spawning day time?

[ivory cairn]

ok thanks @open hatch

[open hatch]

all good ngl i just saw it was there when i got to that quest so could be wrong xD

[wintry cobalt]

wow would you look at that

[gusty reef]

alright I just hit 32 marked keys I am done for now so I can go maybe graduate college with decent grades

[scarlet violet]

it's like those damn click bait (FREDY FAZBEAR ON 3AM CALLED ME)

[wintry cobalt]

this is probably my 24th or 25th run by now

[cursive summit]

I wonder how chaotic reserve is, and since the bosses spawn on reserve do they only strictly spawn on reserve for the time being or no?

[scarlet violet]

can ANYONE PLEASE tell me if this is right?

[gusty reef]

true

[open hatch]

maybe.. maybe not bsg might ask for your soul

[wintry cobalt]

they should spawn?

[cursive summit]

Uh cultists spawn at 3am factory

[timid tendon]

according to THIRD PARTIES tagilla doesn't spawn on factory anymore and in my 10~ runs that seems true so far

[open hatch]

bro go bed try more tomorrow

[pseudo kayak]

i havent seen tagilla on factory either shame

[scarlet violet]

then it's really just my luck for spawns working xD

[open hatch]

might be becasue of the event on reserve?

[wintry cobalt]

well looking at my luck itll be nerfed to death by tomorrow so there will be no point lmao

[scarlet violet]

FUCK MY LIFE IN THIS GAME

[gusty reef]

A. Don't mention EFTBoss it's against TOS, B. This is true

[open hatch]

convert the anger to more anger and use a shotgun xD

[twin sundial]

watch your mouth!! this is the only reprieve i’ve had on factory in weeks!!

[scarlet violet]

so factory is boss free?

[gusty reef]

yes

[scarlet violet]

well shit

[twin sundial]

yes and THANK GOD

[timid tendon]

🤓 ☝️

[open hatch]

most maps ive been on are without bosses

[scarlet violet]

i just have to not find scavs

[open hatch]

only ones ive seen is the goons

[atomic iron]

anybody have any luck finding smugglers for new quest?

[scarlet violet]

he is trying to warn you for good, believe me

[wintry cobalt]

all scav bosses are on reserve, so other bosses are on normal locations

[scarlet violet]

or she, or it

[gusty reef]

man I am just trying to let people know before they get smited lmao

[wintry cobalt]

you mean irl?

[scarlet violet]

whatever

[sturdy olive]

look at the wiki it has where they spawn

[twin sundial]

#pve-chat message

[pseudo kayak]

i think that tagilla should be able to throw his hammer

[open hatch]

no no no .. in game auto shotty fun

[twin sundial]

now you’re just trying to upset me
