pve-chat

[finite tide]

is there any other ending i can get

[stone goblet]

not if youre locked in to 300m

[finite tide]

or am i just forced to do this one

[jolly hazel]

power filters in the 600s+, not over a mill anymore

[stone goblet]

still absurd price

[jolly hazel]

true

[stone goblet]

but not as bad

yeah just spam labyrinth and hope for power filters and bitcoins

shouldnt take too long on pve

[finite tide]

fuckin labyrinth i hate that map

fuck my life

[stone goblet]

when i had to grind for 161m on pvp, i just spammed interchange cash registers

1mil every 15 mins lmao

[finite tide]

fuck it might do that then

[stone goblet]

i would hit the registers then just disconnect

i have 37 AWOLs on pvp lmao

[thorn token]

Even easier with no killa there rn

[stone goblet]

ye

[thin river]

is it one key for every register ?

[thorn token]

Also, to play devils advocate here, the game does try to tell you to press that button. It makes you pick up a note on the desk in the control room that says power should be disconnected through the button under the desk.

[cosmic patrol]

👋 Hello birch.

[finite tide]

i dont even know if i wanna continue playing this game

like it wouldnt be that bad if there were no time gates cause at least i could get to where i am quicker

[finite tide]

what note?

[stone goblet]

theres 3 keys; IDEA registers, goshan register, OLI register

[finite tide]

there was none there

[thorn token]

To be fair I think savior is the only one with the fuckass time gates that are that long

[finite tide]

wiki didnt show one

[thorn token]

In the station under the power station, when you enter the first room the second time you go there to get the flash drive back there’s a note on one of the first desks

[stone goblet]

yeah there IS a note in there telling you to do it

[thorn token]

One of your objectives when in the raid does mention you should search the room for more info even

So while it is vague, it does try to let you know to do that through environmental means

[uneven vapor]

If I want money imma just run streets

[finite tide]

i didnt see one

[thorn token]

Tarbank ez money

[finite tide]

the wiki didnt show one either

[uneven vapor]

Interchange with no killa is pretty valid tho ngl

[thorn token]

Should be on the middle desk

[orchid raptor]

god bro the sealed weapon cases are just amazing, i still cant believe i got an msgl out of it

[thin river]

o ok i only have idea key .thanks

[drowsy juniper]

it does say on the wiki as well about the previous objective 100% needed to be completed beforehand before you pick up the flashdrive

[uneven vapor]

you know ball

[thorn token]

I slept on tarbank for so long

Until I realized I could leave with 250k every raid min going there

[uneven vapor]

Shit I had a raid where I got loke 350k off Tarbank, Gus had 220k on him

[thorn token]

I feel like it does, if my internet wasn’t out I’d share a screenshot showing it or at least showing the in raid objective for it

[uneven vapor]

And then I got a bitcoin and GPU from Cardinal. Like why would I not just run that map

[thorn token]

oh hey my internet is back

[thin river]

where can i find a vpx module ?

[drowsy juniper]

https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/They_Are_Already_Here it does, scroll down, says in big red writing it needs to be completed first

[uneven vapor]

Labs w/ keycards

That one room on reserve I'm drawing a blank on key name

The new one tho down in bunker

[thin river]

i know which one thanks

[uneven vapor]

Labyrinth isnt a bad chance either

Those are best 3 I know from personal experience

[thorn token]

yea i shared a screenshot of it too

it'd be weird if the wiki had no mention of it since it's ended so many savior runs now

[drowsy juniper]

i mean it is pretty shit design to completely lock out regardless, but at this point the information for it is out there wherever you look pretty much

[thorn token]

yea

the only way to even save it is you alt f4 before leaving the raid

[subtle valve]

Labs / LH / Labrys.
Labs is the fastest for sure, just take yellow and violet cards and check only these two

[subtle valve]

Sorry, reply should be to this message xD

[stone harbor]

oh VPX? PKPTS key has loads of it and relatively safe... well much safer after the current event end

[thorn token]

bunker is safest place on reserve still

[thin river]

does anyone know why my ping is so high on shoreline ,,its only on that map

[thorn token]

You sure it’s ping?

[stone harbor]

bunker on the mountain you mean?

[thin river]

i can show u in #screenshots

[thorn token]

Command bunker

[stone harbor]

so Killa/Tagilla did not raid your arse down there? lucky

[thin river]

posted

[thorn token]

They’re in hermetic not command bunker

[stone harbor]

i went there once and I never gonna do down there again

[thorn token]

Granted I’ve only been in the command bunker once during this event and it’s because I spawned in there

[stone harbor]

If I had a nickel everytime I saw Killa down there, I would have 2 nickels, which isnt alot but he killed me twice

[thorn token]

Honestly bunker isn’t even that bad of a spot to fight those two

Lots of corners

[pliant pond]

when does the smugglers event end?

[thorn token]

It was more annoying last boss event on reserve though in 2024 because tagilla just spawned in the command bunkers anyways

Also wish this boss event included the goons too like the last one did, added a lot more difficulty to it

[thorn token]

Honestly couldn’t tell you

Are you running that map on bsg servers and everything else is local?

[thin river]

i think i am

its only on this map and sumtimes woods

[analog berry]

Important Choice! Agree to work with MR. Kerman. YES or NO ?????

[finite tide]

what ending are you going for?

[thorn token]

Work with Kerman gets you savior ending, not working for him gets you the survivor ending

[analog berry]

the one that i dont need to do to much

[thorn token]

Or the debtor ending

[thorn token]

If you want the least shit to do, don’t work for Kerman

You’ll need to have a lot saved up in the bank though

Did you keep the case or give it to prapor originally?

If you kept it, start saving up 500 mil for prapor, if you handed it over it’s 300 mil to prapor instead

He gives you the employee discount

[analog berry]

hmmm i really don remember but i think i keept it for myself

[finite tide]

if i come back i might just wipe my account and get debtor or fallen

[thorn token]

Those all require lots of money too

Might as well continue with the survivor ending at least

You’re almost there

[finite tide]

i know id just rather wipe my account

[raw nest]

Just wait for prestige

[analog berry]

and if i work with mr kerman i only need to give him 40 bitcoin?

[finite tide]

yeah let me guess that be like another decade

[thorn token]

40 btc to mechanic yes

[autumn lodge]

servers slow?

[vocal iris]

Love how the first time in over 35 factory runs I see scavs and cultists together is the first run I do solo and the cultists were hiding among scavs and killed me lmaooooo

[proven thistle]

anyone know when the taskline event ends?

[thorn wadi]

i think the event might be over...just had tagilla on factory

[proven thistle]

soooo culists got nerfed again?

[stone goblet]

prestige is coming in Q3

should be anyway

[proven thistle]

what's a Q3?

[raw nest]

Now

[stone goblet]

q3 2026

third quarter

[subtle valve]

Question is if we have Tagilla + boosted cultists for now or cultists are back to 2% spawn chance

[proven thistle]

ah

[proven thistle]

sad

[thorn wadi]

i'd guess that cultist event is doen too

[jovial cobalt]

i dont think anything changed yet

[vocal iris]

Nope

Died to a Cultist hiding among Scavs just 5m ago on Factory.

[thorn wadi]

it's over no more red skull on reserve

[jovial cobalt]

rip

[golden bane]

Just spawned into Factory night and Tagilla was there lmao

[thorn wadi]

same

[proven thistle]

it's still available for me that's why i had to ask when the tasks get removed

[vocal iris]

First ever solo cultist farm run, first ever time Ive seen cultists spawn with scavs in my friends running it 40+ times

[thorn wadi]

i had a fuckin BLAST tho

[vocal iris]

oh it's over now?

fr as soon as I fucking log in and die lmao

[golden bane]

Yeh must have literally just ended lmao

[vocal iris]

back to marathon for the forseeable future LMAO

game is dogshit

[peak silo]

no event

[proven thistle]

almost just happened to me
not even 30 seconds into shorline and already partizan

[peak silo]

tagilla spawn in factory well

[thorn wadi]

yes and red skull on reserve is gone too, it's over folks nothing to see here

[stone goblet]

tasks are gone as well for the smuggler thing

[thorn wadi]

move along

[vocal iris]

lol it literally let me log in, baited me to die to cultists on the first scav + cultist spawn in 50+ runs of watching my friends run, event ends 2m later

are you fucking for real

[raw nest]

Rough tarkov

[vocal iris]

uninstalling lmao. The main menu background isnt worth this

[peak silo]

i just kill 10 smuggler and they never appear again here

[thorn wadi]

case keys are gone on the flea

[drowsy juniper]

Just opened marked room and no sealed case? event ended?

[manic pewter]

yurr

[drowsy juniper]

ooooof i just bought a red flare as well damn

[manic pewter]

damn, i was gonna run marked rooms today

[stone goblet]

no

[austere solstice]

welp,shame,i didnt grind that much,but i really wanted to get a grenade launcher form the crate

[thorn wadi]

yeah nah yeah i found em...just turns out you can't search by "case key"?

[manic pewter]

i have one last chance at a GL

[stone goblet]

yeah you cant lmao idk why

[austere solstice]

i mena,i did just pick up a sealed wepaons case fomr 314

[vocal iris]

hahaha I literally cannot belive this. Event ends 2m after I die

[thorn wadi]

sounds like a you problem

[vocal iris]

fucking insane I could pay someone to hit me in the nuts every day and it would be more fun

[thorn wadi]

may as well blame obama i mean log the fuck in or something

[vocal iris]

I stopped playing because I ran 20 raids in a row with no cultists for the story quest and decided there were better uses of my time

[thorn token]

someone quick check a marked room and see if theyre still juiced

[quick light]

anyone know how to open a sealed box? says multitool required but its not showing in the workbench

[thorn token]

please tell me my 314 key i just bought isn't worthless now

[austere solstice]

just got out of raid,pulled asealed case and 3 keycards,but before extracting i shot ared flare,but got a medial airdrop,so i guess the event is over.

[thorn wadi]

why would it be? you'd think prices would actually go back up now that their scarcity will increase again

[austere solstice]

imm run another now to see

[thorn token]

i meant the loot inside

not the key itself

[manic pewter]

@drowsy juniper was it 314 you opened or?

[drowsy juniper]

abandoned fac

[manic pewter]

how was the loot otherwise

[drowsy juniper]

omw to chek now as well

[drowsy juniper]

ass, literally nothing i took, but thats just rng tbf, was like that sometimes even during the event

except the case ofc

[manic pewter]

i see

[hidden juniper]

can somebody tell me how is tagila on factory night raid?

[manic pewter]

yes

[wintry plinth]

event is done? even locked cases now have sealed boxes inside

[manic pewter]

with a higher spawn rate even

[tranquil crane]

Did the event just end? I just killed tagilla on factory

[manic pewter]

it did

[tranquil crane]

was NOT expecting to see him lmao

[burnt viper]

Yeah

Not more cultist farming

[tall oasis]

so cultist spawn back to normal?

[burnt viper]

Yup big sad

[drowsy juniper]

i mean we had a week of free marked keys and insane ammo from cases, cant complain at all

[tranquil crane]

i got like 2/3 of a key case full of marked keys so i think im happy with it ending now lol

[drowsy juniper]

lasted longer than i thought it would

[tiny axle]

I just ran 2 raids on night factory. No tagilla, cultists on the 2nd one

[burnt viper]

But I want more marked keys!!!!

[hidden juniper]

maaaan i only started playing today

[tranquil crane]

i now have a reason to do literally anything else

[tiny axle]

But i see the event is over dang

[drowsy juniper]

Chek loot complete ass as well

[tiny axle]

I event got 2 locked cases from fence daily quest lmao no one told him it was over

[manic pewter]

to be expected

chek sucks normally too

[drowsy juniper]

during event i got like 3 black card, 2 green, 2 violet from using one key

[thorn wadi]

lol everyone trying to flip keys now and you can't even get anything from the locked cases

[manic pewter]

damn

[peak silo]

event

[tranquil crane]

lmao what the hell

[manic pewter]

might be time to run VO then finally

[tranquil crane]

i shoulda been doing that, have like 6 of those keys

[odd gale]

Is the event over?

[drowsy juniper]

350 rounds of m995 and 240 rounds of 7n40 from terra armoury, man i love this key

[thorn wadi]

yes

[odd gale]

rip

[thorn wadi]

it was super fun tho

[odd gale]

It was

[thorn wadi]

all the events were fun af

[hidden juniper]

would be nice if they would put a countdown somewhere for the event ending

[drowsy juniper]

Cultists when to 12% night fac instead of 2%

interesting

[odd gale]

Where do you see this

[drowsy juniper]

my crystal ball

[thorn wadi]

WITCH!

[analog berry]

all the bosses on reserv, is that over now?

[drowsy juniper]

yes

[silver idol]

Are the marked rooms still buffed or back to garbage lol

[thorn wadi]

?

[odd gale]

Welp

[analog berry]

sad story

[odd gale]

Time to wait for the market on keys to go back and then influence the market with my stockpile

Kidding I don't have enough

[thorn wadi]

the keys are worthless

no one realizes and just keeps trying to flip but youi only get sealed boxes out of the locked cases now

and can't open those, can only sell emto vendors

[drowsy juniper]

i have 8 weapon cases left to open

gonna keep one as a souviner tho

[summer zinc]

planning to farm today seems like event is over oh well

[orchid raptor]

MULE alternative obdolbos 2 or 2a2?

[mortal plume]

Boss reserve event is over are the cultists buffed spawn rates also over too? Or is that still active due to smuggler events

[peak silo]

the event end

[sudden silo]

Cultist seem to be back down

The smuggler event is over too

[orchid raptor]

i kinda hate how they never tell anyone about this stuff

[pseudo pond]

Any1 going to terminal ?

[willow robin]

Hello i got a problem,
i opened those smuglers casses and got Sealed Boxes with Contraband.
My question is what to do with that Sealed Boxes?
Thanks for any help

[orchid raptor]

you cant do anything with them anymore cuz the event is over

[raw nest]

I need to start running it

[willow robin]

So best thing to do is sell them to traders?

[orchid raptor]

yeah

[scarlet pier]

meh I feel 1 week (or 1 weekend) is too short for these events

[gloomy creek]

so no more case keys to be found?

[tribal mountain]

so cultist no longer loaded

[jolly hazel]

What do you do with the sealed boxes from the locked crate? I never saw them before when the event was running (not the contraband boxes but one that looks similar and is called sealed) it says a multitool is required to open but I don't see any option in the workbench?

[raw nest]

just sell

[jolly hazel]

I mean maybe they'll add a craft to open it, idk. It just ended

[analog berry]

where do i get the key?

[jolly hazel]

go to the craft in hideout and filter by item on the key for the craft. If you type it in it doesnt show up

[latent void]

The sealed boxes are from the first smugglers event no?

[orchid raptor]

wonder if i should open rusted bloody key now that the event is over

[latent void]

I wonder if it's buffed since all the marked rooms seemed good

[jolly hazel]

except for me hitting pkpm and getting only guns

[ionic moon]

boss event gone

everyone went home

[orchid raptor]

they got tired

man i do wish they kept the 100% boss rotation

[ionic moon]

social batteries ran out

[ionic moon]

i wish the goons werent so annoying

[crystal umbra]

Dang, wish my cultist odds were better during the event. I ran into them maybe like 3 times out of 50 (even with the 33% chance) and got like 14 marked keys in total (mostly reserve ones).

Meanwhile I see other people who are filling up their SECOND key case with marked keys thanks to the event

[zealous matrix]

15 raids 0 cultists on night factory XD

[crystal umbra]

28 night factory raids myself and only got them like 2 times

[zealous matrix]

not that bad

[crystal umbra]

How tf are other people getting them so much. Are they running night factory the whole day like 50 times in a row?

[thorny linden]

are 100% boss spawns on Reserve still active?

[zealous matrix]

mb other locations have such more chance to spawn cultists

i never see cultists in this event

[grizzled yoke]

it's not

[jolly hazel]

if you played on local servers they were rare and since solo factory is local only... duos and trios were the way. Otherwise solo night customs was how I did it when I didn't have anyone to run night fac with

[tiny axle]

Just got a ton of sealed boxes from the locked cases. The wiki says i need a quest to be able to unlock them but it was an event quest last year. Any ideas?

[sand ermine]

where can I find when events will end? Its not in patch note or offical website

[jolly hazel]

where did you see the part about needing a quest? When I look at it it says you need a multitool and workbench lvl 1, but I don't see the craft for it yet. I think they just haven't added it since the event JUST ended

[gusty whale]

Local or online doesn't matter... most likely he's just not checking the map though roughly, had cultists rush me last second on night factory local multiple times now after checking every corner of the map. They just hide super well, less people to aggro them, the mote annoying they are to actually find

[tiny axle]

You're probably right. I'll hold onto them for now

[gusty whale]

It's the 3rd quest in this years quest line

[merry hull]

event over ?

[jolly hazel]

idk, across myself and other people it did seem to matter. I ran 30 raids local and only saw them once or twice and it was never at the beginning of the raid, had them literally late spawn in a place I had just cleared

On BSG servers it was like 1/3 or 1/4

[merry sigil]

Is the event over?

[jolly hazel]

yes

[merry sigil]

Dang

[merry hull]

damn 🙁

[gusty whale]

Again, more people, better chance someone aggros them, unfortunately especially on factory, they seem to hide a lot, even had them glitch inside of walls multiple times

[plush panther]

I just came here to ask the same question lol

[merry hull]

i suddenly had tagilla in my raid. so i know its over now

[gusty whale]

Factory just doesn't seem like a great map for them, thankfully a raid takes 3 mins

[plush panther]

that means though I can finally do my reserve quests and guide

[gusty whale]

Actually done? Shame :/

[jolly hazel]

bro I methodically checked every pixel of factory and they just werent there, but then I clear a place, and 5 sec later they all spawn in (could hear them) and this was at like 10 min left in the raid

on bsg servers it was stupid easy to find them even if my teammate was afk in spawn

[merry hull]

no notification, nothing :(.

[gusty whale]

That's normal, the cultists often spawn mid raid, bsg or local

Still 12% chance of cultists night factory which is quite interesting

[jolly hazel]

thats the only way I found them on local, but on BSG servers I could run 10 meters and find them off spawn

[merry hull]

yeah ?

[gusty whale]

I mean if you find bsg servers better, that's fair enough, fps certainly is better

And load times are fairly similar now at least too

[jolly hazel]

Im just saying something was definitley going on there with the spawns on local vs bsg

[merry hull]

only managed to get 42 marked keys. big sad

[jolly hazel]

only... lol

[gusty whale]

I mean if it felt that way for you, fair enough

[jolly hazel]

for me, all my friends, and plenty of people in this DC yeah

[gusty whale]

Was going to just buy a couple 100, but prices are probs gonna sky rocket by time I'm home from work

[merry sigil]

I wish they would tell us from when to when events run - and a week seems a little short

[gusty whale]

And BSG themselves have said multiple times it makes no difference, is what it is, impossible to know without personally getting a look at the games code, and more likely to win the lottery than that

[gusty whale]

Yeah it would be nice

[jolly hazel]

True enough I guess

[torpid oasis]

lol i got 3 marked keys

[merry sigil]

0

[quiet turtle]

??event

[quasi apex]

There are no ongoing events at this time.

[quiet turtle]

No bosses anymore on reserve?

[jolly hazel]

only gluhkar

[merry hull]

6x 314, 8x rb-bk, 8x rb-vo, 10x rb-pkpm 6x abandoned and 3x check13

[merry sigil]

even with increased spawn chance, i didn't come across cultists a single time

[jolly hazel]

big oof

[merry sigil]

well, tried only night factory

[merry hull]

sometimes 2x in a row, other times took me 1,5 hour

one time 3 hours got nothing

[jolly hazel]

for me it was about 1/2 to 1/5 raids

[silver idol]

Anyone open a marked room since event is over? The loot still juicy

[merry hull]

event is only over for like 10 min now i think

[jolly hazel]

probs about a half hr

[young frost]

im gonna miss the reserve madness ... 🥀

[merry hull]

last 2x i had cultists, they had nothing in their pockets 🙁

[jolly hazel]

yeah the rate of keys seemed nerfed after the first couple days

first day was wild

[merry hull]

prices for the keys will spike again in like a week or 2

[merry sigil]

hmm i have a bunch of sealed boxes now - how would they be opened? states you need a multi tool, but don't see a prompt

[hazy moss]

🙏 im hoarding a keycase full

[jolly hazel]

same boat, i think they just havent added the craft yet since the event just ended...or they forgot

[hazy moss]

can just be unpacked back in hideout unless u mean the locked crates

[jolly hazel]

the sealed box you get from opening the locked small case

[merry sigil]

I mean these sealed boxes you get from the locked cases

[jolly hazel]

not openable atm

[hazy moss]

no clue then, i couldnt be asked to do the event because of the rewards being so bad

[jolly hazel]

the first few quests werent that bad but I def wasn't handing over 10 cases for a lil bit of snb when you could open them and get hella great ammo

[young frost]

i did the first few quests but tbh opening the weapon cases was better than handing over 10 and they were rly clogging up my stash

[jolly hazel]

jinx you owe me a tarcola

[glossy bloom]

found Sani at resort, only to be a fool and spend a bit too long looking inside a damned airdrop, and was 3 seconds too late for my extract..

[young frost]

no i need it for crafting

[jolly hazel]

RIP, greed kills

[jolly hazel]

Understandable, have a nice raid.

[young frost]

wonder how many ppl got snowball done this week

[orchid raptor]

i didnt touch reserve at all this entire week ngl, i was either hunting cultists or grinding arena

[jolly hazel]

For real, I sure did since I got railroaded by a server dc and lost my boss streak right before the event happened. It was a perfect time. I had only needed koban, kolontay, and zirachy

[fervent karma]

what event is over?

[young frost]

thats a shame tbh. keys and money come and go but blowing up sanitar with the mounted gl from dome is a rare experience

[jolly hazel]

If only Snowball gave you Big Pipes shirt and Birdeye's sweater...or all the boss clothing...

[vestal phoenix]

mann wish i grinded weapon cases a lil more than cultists

[fervent karma]

so event is over completely? what the fuck, I'm not even done with the third quest. I haven't even gone weapon case hunting yet...

[hazy moss]

fuck i should of killed zirachiy 😭

[fervent karma]

how long did we have? 3 days?

[hazy moss]

thats.. alot of time for how the quest was tbh

[vestal phoenix]

like 2 weeks

[hazy moss]

could of finished it within like 2-3 days without even sweating

[jolly hazel]

He wasn't on reserve, you still can if you already ahve the other bosses...just gotta sacrifice your DSP... it sucks but it was worth it

[dusky magnet]

A week.

[tiny axle]

I just had a raid where the priest was running laps in the rafters of factory. Like a whole ass marathon up there not even bothering to shoot. He had zoomies but it was so stupid lmao this one wanted to be seen

[hazy moss]

or just being a basement dweller

[fervent karma]

could have*
and no way, not if you've got an hour or two free time on a day lol

[hazy moss]

i think i should just hold off until i do his important quests

[merry sigil]

what is Snowball?

[hazy moss]

i doubt im dying inbetween seeing as im 400-1 right now

[fervent karma]

not to mention if you've got cultists to hunt or do other stuff meanwhile xd

[jolly hazel]

lol thats pretty funny. I had one if teh rafters once but he was a crack shot with his svd and not highly regarded like your preist

[fervent karma]

damn, idk, seems short to me

[hazy moss]

i mean i was already 4 quests deep with only 1 hour to play per day 🤷 just prioritize stuff dude

[jolly hazel]

Killing all the bosses without dying. its an achievement and unlocks Knight's Shirt

[fervent karma]

I guess I can delete all those locked cases since I can't even open them now xD

[hazy moss]

absolute swag btw)

[tiny axle]

I feel a week was long enough for something like this. Raining marked keys and sealed weapon crates without a wipe soon so they couldn't be too generous

[jolly hazel]

Its drip but I honestly think Big Pipes Shirt is better, plus the skelly gloves

[vestal phoenix]

30k to therapist 🥹

[hazy moss]

can i assume cultists are back to 3% on factory?

[fervent karma]

I thought we had much longer with this event, they should've announced an end date or something to prioritize it, hell I thought it was just new quests, not even realised its an event before yesterday

[gritty marten]

did the whole smuggler event thing ended?

[dusky magnet]

yes

[gritty marten]

😔

[vestal phoenix]

says 12% on eftboss.com

[hazy moss]

thats alot better than what it was before tbh

[vestal phoenix]

don't know how accurate that is

[gritty marten]

collected so many marked room key from the cultist in one night

[jolly hazel]

you can still buy the keys but prob not worth it since they're going up in price and the sealed boxes you get from them since the update is over aren't openable yet, who knows if they will be, and if the loot is even worth it

[vestal phoenix]

yeah id be glad if it actually is 12 not 3

[tiny axle]

Other than sealed crate i got a black card and T500 sniper from abandoned factory. Everything else was terrible. 545 SP like wth

[fervent karma]

I didn't even get a single weapon case ._. rip

[hazy moss]

sp?? cultists dont use SP

[fervent karma]

guess it's time for 30k at therapist

was the event/end date announced anywhere?

[jolly hazel]

Dont think so

[fervent karma]

damn, no information, no end date, nothing at all. Sucks, but I guess it's expected

[gritty marten]

where do i farm off cultist now? 😔

[vestal phoenix]

nikita loves us anticipating when things will end 💔

[hazy moss]

customs like usual

[fervent karma]

I mean, he's paid already, he don't give a shit

[fervent karma]

what's the % on customs/other maps now?

[hazy moss]

holy shit i can finally go back to reserve

[quartz meteor]

is the event over already?

[hazy moss]

customs remained 33%

[vestal phoenix]

im seeing 25

either way those would be the go to

[tiny axle]

Nah i got all that from a marked room on streets. It was the loose ammo sitting on the ground

[hazy moss]

just realised i didnt pull a single fucking dorms 314 key off the cultists for the entire event

[jolly hazel]

RIP

[merry hull]

buy em. they still cheap atm

[vestal phoenix]

jeager trade

[glossy bloom]

I got one, and trust me, that was a hard one to find
that and the keycard

[gritty marten]

RIP

[glossy bloom]

plenty of reserve keys though

[ashen anchor]

I finally finished the Price of Independence!! man this was tough i had so many close calls that i almost died.... first to Glukhar and his gaurds, then to Smugglers on woods and finally to freaking Parmisan cheese in the water treatment right at the end of the task! the whole thing took me 1 hour

[merry hull]

will take a bit for prices to go up again

[vestal phoenix]

most are already 7mil and event just ended

[merry sigil]

ah! got it and thank you:)

[jolly hazel]

no prob

[fervent karma]

at least you got some other keys

[merry sigil]

Not everyone has the luxury to play several hours every day - and not everyone is lucky to come across certain enemies like cultists or lucky in the marked rooms

[fervent karma]

cuz people will hoard em

[vestal phoenix]

yeah real

[fervent karma]

agreed

An end date would've been nice, and an event announcement at least

[vestal phoenix]

what yall think would be more profitable using 314 or sell it ouright over 12mil

[merry sigil]

and having an announcement or the likes when things end would be great

[fervent karma]

I thought they just added more quests, didn't realize its an event before yesterday

[torpid oasis]

i also call him parmazan 🤣

[fervent karma]

I'd say keep in case they do another marked room event or something

[jolly hazel]

Whenever I see a random quest that doesn't sound like a normal one pop up I'm thinking its prob an event then I look it up

But yeah that's a RIP

[merry hull]

its 50/50. prices wil slowly go up again, or the market wil be flooded

[fervent karma]

and what would you look up if they didn't even announce anything? 😂

[jolly hazel]

the quest, and then check the dc's and people saying its an event

[vestal phoenix]

ill be using my rb marked keys then trade for 314 from jeager just gotta see whether im getting a mil per open on 314 or not

[merry hull]

highly doubt it. marked rooms have been shit in general

[ashen anchor]

wait thats not what he is called? 😂

[fervent karma]

is it true that loot is also nerfed on pve?

[jolly hazel]

I call him Parmesano Reggiano

[fervent karma]

in general I mean

[raw nest]

Yes

[merry sigil]

feels like that for me - friends have a boatload of luck in those rooms - i constantly get a big ole nothing (a few cheap guns, that's it)

[vestal phoenix]

def buffed this event thats why im debating this if i go open it again and im getting a couple badge and a piece of shit ak im selling it outright

[fervent karma]

guess they really don't like the fact that people have more fun on pve than pvp

[merry sigil]

seriously?

[merry hull]

last time i went in one. i had a figurine and 12 loose bullets...

[stable tinsel]

The dorm has had violet and black keycards for me lately

[merry sigil]

that blows - i normally go in with friends and there isn't really anything in there for me, but for friends there is lol

[fervent karma]

speaking from experience, seemed that way to me for a while

[vestal phoenix]

im missing one red rebel for no questions asked if marked are shit again then its gg

[jolly hazel]

Gotta farm Sturmy boy

[quartz meteor]

well, I guess I can go back to farming Kaban on streets

[stable tinsel]

I can’t find a red rebel to finish that quest for prapor to save my life

[quartz meteor]

on reserve it was fucking miserable

[stable tinsel]

Oh are the bosses not on reserve anymore

[jolly hazel]

Farm shturman and hit his locked box

[merry sigil]

yuup, event ended just a couple hours ago

[stable tinsel]

Oh so no more smugglers and cultists?

[vestal phoenix]

ahh yeah there is a chance for one i didn't even know ty

[jolly hazel]

No prob, good luck! Make sure to check his melee slot

[vestal phoenix]

he carries?

[merry sigil]

on a sidenote, could it be that eft loves RAM almost as much as Google Chrome does? 😄 saw it consume like 18gb of RAM yesterday

[jolly hazel]

he can

[merry sigil]

Also Partisan iirc can carry red rebel?

[jolly hazel]

yup

[vestal phoenix]

i only knew about parmesan cause thats where i got my first i didn't know other bosses could carry

[fervent karma]

it does

[raw nest]

Yes on 25th of december 30% loot nerf compared to pvp

[merry sigil]

yikes - explains why i see so much less good loot compared to when watching pvp streamers

that is unfortunate (i started back up with eft only like a month ago)

[vestal phoenix]

as if they weren't greedy enough to make people buy pve even if they have pvp

[stable tinsel]

So the cultists spawn buff is over too? Asking before I get home because Google says it is still buffed as of right now.

[vestal phoenix]

nah nerfed

[stable tinsel]

Bruh. I was going to grind it this weekend

[vestal phoenix]

still can on customs

just like pray to the spirit of nikita

[stable tinsel]

Going after them on customs isnt the same.

Fighting them on factory just hit right.

[merry sigil]

i cant for the life of me find certain items for quests, like skull ring or bronze lion - which bothers me the most. even cultist circle is a scam for me 😄

when i need ruble i farm a few days Arena and get a bunch of Radian 1 and sell those

[sage saffron]

Smugglers quest is not here anymore ?

[swift locust]

Go labs and get all of those in a single raid

[merry sigil]

With my luck? lol

Did the price for lab cards also go up again btw? haven't checked yet

[swift locust]

Even if it did, you will make more money regardless

[vestal phoenix]

yeah black is back to 7mil

[swift locust]

Black aint worth in pve

[sage saffron]

?

[swift locust]

Yes bro its gone

[sage saffron]

damn that was fast

[compact folio]

they nerfed black or what?

[vestal phoenix]

only worth it if you find one

[swift locust]

Pve inflation

[vestal phoenix]

nerfed everything fun for us pve players 🥹

[compact folio]

fr?

at least had 2 blacks from cultist so i had good profit

[safe kestrel]

even the room with the blooded rusty key is nerfed lol

[merry sigil]

What about Labyrinth? Also heavily nerfed?

[vestal phoenix]

i regret farming cultists more than opening marked

[merry sigil]

I am bit salty that I didn't farm more air drops for the high tier ammo

[vestal phoenix]

dude right i had one more red flare i was planning to use

[compact folio]

i am bit salty that i had 2 drops but didnt get any from them bc i didnt bring big enough bag and died with crates

[safe kestrel]

Don't think so, i did it twice yesterday and i still find good loot on it.

@vestal phoenix yeah same... i opened a marked room 15 min ago, i just found a crow's figurine, blicky and a mk-47. "totaly worth it"

[merry sigil]

i have like 5 or 6 more red flares 😄 wanted to use them - but instead i decided to try night factory to farm cultists for 3 hours, didn't come across a single cultist and had 5+min wait time every time (played with a friend)

well, next time

[vestal phoenix]

god damn they really making this unenjoyable

[vestal phoenix]

event next year guys 🤞

[safe kestrel]

Cultist have 1 or 2% chance to spawn on night facto. If you really need cultist i suggest you to farm them on custom.

[merry sigil]

during event they had 33%

at least according to the almighty oracle

[safe kestrel]

Dam, i missed that info.... where did you find it ?

[merry sigil]

It is what it is - learning as I go, so will just focus the limited items the next time such an event comes around

[peak silo]

well cultists still spawning here

[merry sigil]

much lower rate though

[high sandal]

[raw nest]

It's over

Don't mention the website, It's against the ToS

[rapid minnow]

🙁

[merry sigil]

Okidoki!

[safe kestrel]

i really liked this event. but it was a pain to found some red flare D:

[merry sigil]

Saw someone mention it earlier too

[raw nest]

12%

[merry sigil]

Hence assumed it was okay, but will keep it in mind - thanks for the reminder

[raw nest]

Everything that's not eft wiki is against ToS

Especially datamined websites

[merry sigil]

Makes sense

[vestal phoenix]

2 mcx and a gingy in rb-bk are we serious

[safe kestrel]

yeah that's absurd. Guess we have to farm some items like schuss, xenos, clocs, lion's figurine so we sold them and we can buy what we really need on the flea market

[sturdy beacon]

Yeah we got all the keys but they are gonna suck lol, it’s why I wasn’t very excited. It’s honestly a bummer

It might be fun not getting shot in the face from 150m at night tho

[vestal phoenix]

disappointment is an understatement rn

[sturdy beacon]

I mean with how easy the keys were to get I pretty much expected it

It’s not like they have changed the multiplier back..🥀

[vestal phoenix]

id rather hard to get keys but worth it loot honestly its always been shit

[sturdy beacon]

Idk about always, loot got verry noticeably worse a few months back (especially in pve)

[fervent karma]

where

[sturdy beacon]

I mean the cultists stills spawn, it’s just at their normal rates now..

[vestal phoenix]

rb-vo seems to be the most worth it

more than 314

[safe kestrel]

i guess we just have to wait some events for using them. During the smuggler's event the marked room on reserve gave good loot.

[vestal phoenix]

definately the amount of coloured cards i found were more than what i've gotten in the last year

[safe kestrel]

yeah, i found plenty of yellow card lol. They were worth 250k on the flea market.

[vestal phoenix]

idk if i can wait and watch my keys sitting there to be used tho 🥹

[jolly hazel]

ez fix dont see them, bury them in a random rig ina random backpack

[safe kestrel]

yeah i know that feeling. Specilly on reserve. There's a marked room just next to the lever you have to use for D-2

[vestal phoenix]

gotta be in a backpack in a backpack in a backpack

[jolly hazel]

frfr

[vestal phoenix]

Its telling me to open it

[smoky scaffold]

killa got stuck in mantis

and then he had shit ammo

AND THEN I FORGOT TO GRAB IT

brung in 4 mags full of 7n40, with 3 extra stacks to repack with

i left with none of my ammo left and some shitty BT

[dense sentinel]

hadn't checked discord yet and went into factory to farm more cultists and ran into tagilla and went ah damn event must be over

damn work got in my way of farming even more keys lol

[safe kestrel]

"Prepare to die !" was the last words you heard before black screen

[vestal phoenix]

holy jump scare

[dense sentinel]

oh i killed tagilla i just wasnt expecting to hear the person slow walking around the corner while i was looting the safe on the 1st floor of office to be tagilla i just lit his head up with the rpd anyways and realized it after lol

[main reef]

is it over ?

[safe kestrel]

lol, welcome back to factory tagilla !

[raw nest]

yup

[dense sentinel]

well since i cant do the questline anymore for the evnet i guess im opening up all these weapon crates

[main reef]

YAY

[raw nest]

do the loot spread in #screenshots

[dense sentinel]

lol

[main reef]

now not every single pve group on the discord will be cultist hunting . damn brokies

[raw nest]

put it all in sorting table

[dense sentinel]

does the sorting table expand in size? as ive got a bunch of crates lol

[raw nest]

Yea

[main reef]

shi got me playing pvp cuz it was so boring

[orchid loom]

are cultist still buffed

[dense sentinel]

yea ive got 15 weapon crates to open and 38 of those unlocked cases

[safe kestrel]

if you need keys, you can buy some on the flea market. They're worth 130k

[dense sentinel]

oh no i already had them all unlocked

[safe kestrel]

ho

[dense sentinel]

i was just unlocking em as i got em farming cultists in factory

since you got 2 locked crates per run plus whatever you could loot off the cult

[dusk hearth]

Dude it was taking longer to load a factoy raid than being in the raid itself last night
Just for the event to end on a Wednesday

[manic pewter]

they fucking tumbled in price

[dense sentinel]

guess i can vendor the contraband boxes to therapist

since i cant stash them on woods for the mission anymore

[main reef]

keep them in ur stash forever and make it permanently smaller

[dense sentinel]

lol i do that enough with all the cases and junk boxes i have

[latent void]

Anyone else try the marked rooms if they're still good as during the event?

[shadow sandal]

is that smuggler event over?

[latent void]

Yeah ended earlier today

[safe kestrel]

i tried, they're garbage.

[latent void]

Ugh lameee, I was hoping it would still be as good...

[shadow sandal]

damn, this game is only fun when events are going on

[safe kestrel]

unless you need tape or a tagilla's figurine, i suggest you to not try them lol

[shadow sandal]

at least i got 5 marked keys from clutists last nniight

and the one i was missing

[vernal valley]

ofc the i finally get on tarkov event is gone .. XDDDDD

[shadow sandal]

yep, i started playing again a few days ago lol

[safe kestrel]

yeah, now we can all return to terminal

ho wait, you can't retry it if you already finished it 😢

[loud lance]

Really ?
Holy f the events are just for FOMO. They should make them way Harder, but can be completed in less time.
I don't play enough to even care about events.

[shadow sandal]

jokes on you, i havent been to terminnal

that requires too much story work

[safe kestrel]

it took me 2 weeks. I tried to play without wiki but i didn't have the choice sometimes.

[shadow sandal]

i just dont like how the story works lol

[loud lance]

I'm pretty sure BSG removed the % of players that completed Achievements because the numbers were so bad.

Welxome to tarkov has like 60% on Steam...

[loud lance]

When it works 😉

[shadow sandal]

exactlyy

[loud lance]

Game is still in beta 🤷‍♂️

[safe kestrel]

Well, basically, it's just go here, wait for the tingling sound, found a card blablabla, books, blabla papers.

[shadow sandal]

i should see where i am, i do want to finally escape and be free

[sleek cobalt]

The events finally over I see 🙁

[shadow sandal]

i wanted to do the good ending lol

[safe kestrel]

and for players like me who doesn't really watch youtube video, i was like "wtf is "black division?" when i encounter them on terminal for the first time

[shadow sandal]

like batya confuses me, ive picked up so much stuff and i dont think it shows any progression

infact, ive picked up voevodas belongings from interchange a few times, why isnt it marked off

[safe kestrel]

that part i bugged, i've found it 3 times too lol,

[loud lance]

Yeah, if you don't watch videos or look on wiki all the time the progression is 'annoying' IMO.

[shadow sandal]

beta

[cosmic patrol]

I feel like you have a somewhat order you need to pick them up in. I had 0 issues with batya

Locations are my hassle. I cant even think of correlating spots

[vestal phoenix]

saviour loot nerfed pve or same as pvp

[cosmic patrol]

What

[shadow sandal]

at least i have 32 bitcoins

[vestal phoenix]

escaping terminal is the loot nerfed on pve or no?

[cosmic patrol]

Not to my knowledge no

You get the same package pretty sure.

[vestal phoenix]

praying

[faint sparrow]

Is the event over??

[shadow sandal]

only if your name is cwelinator

[safe kestrel]

Good, need 8 more lol.
labs is really usefull on this one. i found so much bitcoin in it. Like black, yellow and purple

[shadow sandal]

ive pulled a bunch from that managers safe

[sleek cobalt]

Im happy I pulled at least 20 small grenade launchers and 15 rotary's launchers before this ended
I thought there was a week left xd

[raw nest]

Yes

you get less USD now for saviour

[vestal phoenix]

but same weapons?

[raw nest]

Yes that remaind the same

[worthy otter]

It included all accounts ever created, which means all the forum accounts and accounts that never purchased the game too

[scarlet glen]

i got a few sealed boxes from a locked case but cant find the craft to open them lol can you open them or is it bugged? i havew workbeanch lvl 3

[faint sparrow]

Discrimination

[safe kestrel]

i still have the recipe on my workbeanch. you sure you didn't miss it ?

[shadow sandal]

i was just able to craft one, but i had it favorited

[smoky scaffold]

i don’t think there’s been a single raid where i haven’t killed less than 20 fucking scavs

they just keep spawning and going straight to me

[scarlet glen]

ive checked like 3 times lol and even typed it in and its not coming up for me lol

[smoky scaffold]

i killed 27 scavs on reserve just now

when i thought that was it i was greeted by gluhar and his boys

[vale shuttle]

Red skull gone.. Bosses left reserve???

[scarlet glen]

yea back to normal

[vale shuttle]

sadge

[safe kestrel]

did you have locked box + key ? maybe it's because you miss one of them

[scarlet glen]

was hoping for at least the weekend lol i knew it wasnt gonna be on much longer but wanted a few extra days

[smoky scaffold]

and then i didn’t even get any good ammo

[shadow sandal]

they ruined reserve by taking out all the chaos

[scarlet glen]

yeai used the key and locked case got 4 sealed boxes from it but cant do anything lol it tells me a multitool is used and i have one i might restart the game and see

[vale shuttle]

yea this one felt a LOT shorter... but meh, what can ya do

[safe kestrel]

try it, if it's not working, maybe we can go in raid, you drop them to me, i open them my self and give it back to you

[scarlet glen]

whats it under in your workbench?

[shadow sandal]

you're not doing it wrong. yesterday when you opened it, you got contraband instead of sealed boxes

[safe kestrel]

i still have it in my workbench but it's because i put it in my favories.

[loud lance]

So you're saying that Steam is displaying the % of ALL the player base ? Even non-steam users ?

[scarlet glen]

yea i dont have the craft for them lol i feel like i remember seeing it at some point recently but could be mistaken lol

[shadow sandal]

you cant open the sealed boxes

[scarlet glen]

so just sell them?

[shadow sandal]

yea

[safe kestrel]

he's talking about the sealed case non ?

[scarlet glen]

no im talking about the sealed boxes i got from the locked cases

[safe kestrel]

hooooo my bad then. Yeah you can't opend them

[shadow sandal]

the pistol looking case from the event, when you opened it before you got contraband, today you get sealed boxes

you used to be able to unpack the sealed boxes in prior events

[scarlet glen]

you good lol i thought i was going crazy lol ima just sell them then

[gusty reef]

Even more sealed boxes? Yes please

[orchid raptor]

do goons still not rotate or naw

[shadow sandal]

wish i picked more cases up, one gives 4, and they sell for 32k

[bright sand]

they do

[uneven vapor]

Damn its over now?

[safe kestrel]

do big pipe still use his grenade launcher ?

[bright sand]

yup. event is over

[loud lance]

And pretty sure the game got refunded a ton on Steam... with that release.

Still can't see that million of Steam players.

[uneven vapor]

Thats depressing

While I am sad the event is over. I'm more annoyed in the inability to communicate event start end times 🙁

[north badger]

event is finished ?

[uneven vapor]

Whatever. I got a little less than a key case full of marked keys

[uneven vapor]

👍🏻

[north badger]

ah ffs cheers dude

[safe kestrel]

i had this feeling too, i was wondering if i missed some annoucement.

[uneven vapor]

No. I've played on and off since release. It's not unrealistic to hope for small changes over 10 years 🙂

[safe kestrel]

i think i'm new yeah. i play on PVE since 2 years i think, i've never check annoucements before lol. so yeah, i'm pretty new about this kind of things. So you mean they didn't make annoucement for this kind of events ?

[raw nest]

You can expect what’s in the roadmap. What’s beyond that is a mystery and only bsg knows

But recent events are due to survey

[river jewel]

did the smugglers thing end

[safe kestrel]

Yep

[cobalt talon]

are the bosses back to their regular maps or still on reserve

[shy thorn]

wait

the cultist event ended?

dawg i was farming marked keys sm

[cobalt talon]

agreed

[safe kestrel]

i didn't knew they have a roadmap lol. I just figure when they make and upgrade because the game was unaviable for 6 hours

[cobalt talon]

bsg needs better communications on events

[shy thorn]

me and my friend group started out like 8 people buying tarkov on steam on launch day

now its just me and another guy left

and both of us only play pve

[raw nest]

That’s sort of on you for not checking out what they have prepared for this year. We got all of that in #eft-announcements

[proud forge]

??event

[quasi apex]

There are no ongoing events at this time.

[deep goblet]

rip

[proud forge]

ye, big rip

[shy thorn]

very big rip

[onyx depot]

cultists done?

[latent sierra]

damn. was just gonna start trying reserve stuff

[safe kestrel]

i will check this out then, thanks !

[shy thorn]

now i have to kill that mf tagilla again in factory

[orchid raptor]

just did my first ever triple reserve marked key run

vo lowkey carried

2 key cases, injector case + red rebel

the other 2 kinda just netted me 2 M60s with a little over 120 M80

which is good cuz i dont have ll4 pk yet

is no questions asked worth doing? is the TKPD any good?

[last skiff]

Did the event finished ?

[shy thorn]

[bright sand]

scroll up a tad bit and you will see

[slender lantern]

anyone know if the cultest spawn rate is also reverted?

[bright sand]

yes

[uneven vapor]

I imagine their loot is also back to normal

[zenith chasm]

that event didnt last very long at all

[glacial osprey]

their loot?

[slender lantern]

marked keys

[glacial osprey]

cultists were busted the entire wipe...

[uneven vapor]

Nah during this event their keys drop rate was 100% increased

Ain't no way it wasnt

[glacial osprey]

they still dropped a ton of marked keys

[uneven vapor]

When I average 4-7 keys per raid? And before it was 3 off priest if lucky

[glacial osprey]

i see. then during event it was straight up insane

[slender lantern]

whats the spawn rate now for night fact?

[glacial osprey]

before event it was around 2%

[uneven vapor]

Its like <5%

[glacial osprey]

every 50 raids basically

[uneven vapor]

So not worth doing. Back to Customs lowkey

[slender lantern]

whats the highest map for cultest?

[uneven vapor]

I think woods. But customs has b3st chance cause its 25% but only one area they'll spawn

Iirc woods is 30%. But you have to check 2 diff spawns

[slender lantern]

gotcha where are the sparns for woods/sustomes?

[uneven vapor]

Customs is stronghold (from crack house > industrial they'll spawn)

Woods is rundown village or to the west of lumber mill

[slender lantern]

anyone else during their last couple days of cultest farming, they died randomly?

[slender lantern]

thank you

[dreamy parcel]

smugglerevent still up?

[uneven vapor]

Np

[orchid raptor]

selling tep300s is lowk goated cuz theyre so fucking cheap from ref and you get 3 everyday

[smoky scaffold]

what’re some good spots for high pen ammo

[uneven vapor]

I'm glad I got enough keys to last me awhile tho

[deep goblet]

streets

[raw nest]

No

[orchid raptor]

thats almost a mil every reset if you have the GP and if you price them right

[uneven vapor]

Got almost a full.key case of the variety of keys

[smoky scaffold]

ive got a bunch of keys for that, which spots?

[dreamy parcel]

thx

[slender lantern]

i should have done more air drops for weapon creates

[smoky scaffold]

i can handle lexos but i need the key

[deep goblet]

@smoky scaffold hyperrat made a vid and shows the keys you need

[smoky scaffold]

i’ll watch it

[uneven vapor]

Container mesh, terrarium armory, MVD, AND Concordia smthn key

Terragroup* not terrarium

[deep goblet]

its in his YT shorts

[orchid raptor]

event got me like half of a key case full of marked keys and labs keys its great

[manic harness]

are red flares back to being ass now?

[uneven vapor]

Yep. I was originally gonna keep em to sell. But I was like fuck it. I'll just use em over time

[smoky scaffold]

just found it

[smoky scaffold]

okay i have those

[slender lantern]

marked keys are gonna sky rocket

at least return back to their normal price?

[orchid raptor]

getting the dopamine from opening them is better than the short term of seeing roubles get in your account

[craggy meteor]

are there a lot less enemies now in pve? i remember getting absolutely flooded by scavs the moment i started shooting, like 60+ kills in single raids, now it seems a lot more normal

[uneven vapor]

Also labs red room and weapon testing aint half bad. If you have all keycards it makes gor a nice route

[orchid raptor]

its gonna take forever to get back again cuz everyone has so many

[smoky scaffold]

yeahhh but i’m a little sick of labs

[uneven vapor]

Valid. Labs fatigue is real

[smoky scaffold]

I mean when i used to run it for ammo i was always coming out with boxes and boxes of SSA AP

[uneven vapor]

I wish the raiders maybe had better gear.

Dude I have 4k+ of all the relevant 5.56 cause of labs lmfao

[smoky scaffold]

they have the big mags sometimes tho

[slender lantern]

now marked keys are gonna be ass

[dense sentinel]

lol i bought up some cheap black and red keycards since im probably going to go back to living in labs again and see if i can push to 10k rounds of m995 and ssa

[lyric perch]

can Tagilla and the cultist spawn at the same time on factory?

[smoky scaffold]

i’m pretty sure i have a shitton of m993

[ruby sky]

Sheeeet. I guess I was right, ended thursday. Same length of the last smuggler event. Guess I should have not gotten sick and finished the task line. Rip, well back to labs every day now I guess

[ashen anchor]

is the Smuggler event over?

[orchid raptor]

man i rlly gotta level up pk

[ruby sky]

Yup

[orchid raptor]

im getting so sick of using m855

[slender lantern]

i heard smuggler event not even worth

[ashen anchor]

sad i was so close :(

[vale atlas]

FInally i can go do what i need on reserve without fear of random head eyes

[slender lantern]

crafted m855a1 or buy m856a1

[ruby sky]

The tasks, sure. The valuable cases and weapon cases. Those were 1000% worth farming. Made millions for basically nothing.

[slender lantern]

oh ya

[vale atlas]

Weapon cases were the goat, all that high tier ammo ❤️

[orchid raptor]

exactly bro

i fucking loved those things i wish i grinded them more

[slender lantern]

back to using 5.45 BT

[vale atlas]

I didn't even bother farming cultists, i only did weapon cases lol

[orchid raptor]

i got an MSGL out of one of them, it was great

[ruby sky]

Just run labs and hit all the ammo spawns, Res guard office, red room, green room. Get tons off ssp, 995, 56a1

[vale atlas]

I killed enough of them to get the 12 knives i needed for a quest and then it was all ammo

[orchid raptor]

i did hella cultists ngl, thats why im a little disappointed i didnt get many weapon cases

[ruby sky]

I think i have three key cases full of marked keys now.

[slender lantern]

which quest?

[vale atlas]

its a later one, you have to hand in 12 fir cultist knives

Cant remember specific name right now but a quick google will show you on the wiki i think

[slender lantern]

gotcha

[cosmic patrol]

cheese.

[orchid raptor]

pk quests are all booooooring 🥹

[slender lantern]

all of my traders were lv 4 and PK lv 2 and found out alot of high tier ammo are locked behind PK

[vale atlas]

PK has some of the real convenient ammo too lol

[slender lantern]

my dumb ass was using 5.45 PS

[orchid raptor]

yeah this is the problem im having rn i have ll3 pk and his quests are so fucking boring bro

[vale atlas]

As a fan of the fn57 i made a point of getting him up for those rounds lol

[cosmic patrol]

Spring sale in 3 hours, big big.

[slender lantern]

not only boring, its like each task one map, really cant stack multi quest for it either

[ruby sky]

Steam spring sale?

[cosmic patrol]

Yupü

[ruby sky]

Oh boy time to add more games im never gonna play to my 1000+ library 🤣

[orchid raptor]

im ngl i aint even getting nothing this spring cuz i deadass just spent 30 dollars on arena full price a few days ago

little steep but i dont regret the purchase

[waxen vapor]

did the event finish ?

[orchid raptor]

yeah

[waxen vapor]

well damm i nedded 5 kills go

[marsh wing]

did it really? now i can run labs?

[cosmic patrol]

Imma just see what are all time low. Take a gander if any good story games or some are cheap

[orchid raptor]

it did end, it's over

[marsh wing]

cheaper than buying a black ops game for shitty story and the same multiplayer system used for the past 10 years

[orchid raptor]

i gotta convince some of my friends to grab like terraria or zomboid or sum so we can play some shit together

[orchid raptor]

truth nuke

[cosmic patrol]

Im kinda waiting for DayZ or something tbh. Or ArmA Reforger or something.

[glacial osprey]

no idea what to buy with 32 euros on steam

maybe sts2/outer wilds/until then will be on sale

[cosmic patrol]

I mean u can buy quite almost everything that will be on sale with that 😄

[marsh wing]

we need to come together and make sure people think NF still has high cultist rates and no tagilla

[orchid raptor]

pve psyop division

[marsh wing]

[azure canopy]

I watched an airdrop come in on Streets 120 seconds ago

[glacial osprey]

[marsh wing]

HELL YEAH

[orchid raptor]

i wish the boss rotation stayed around though i liked that

[tight crystal]

Wait you all were getting airdrops during the event?

[marsh wing]

So how do i farm scav rep? Get kills, transit, get more kills, transit some more?

[marsh wing]

its a rare chance

[drowsy juniper]

i didnt see a single one playing a load of raids each day of the event lmaooo

[tight crystal]

Neither did i. I did not know it was a thing. But i just got an airdrop after the event ended. It was all Vaseline.

[drowsy juniper]

the airdrop just had vaseline?

[tight crystal]

Yep

[glacial osprey]

a lot of reasons. completely hollow game. flawed from lore and script to gameplay. did you play it?

[marsh wing]

so i guess the airdrops are sticking around for us then

[marsh wing]

how much vaseline? and being dead serious, nothing else in it?

[marsh wing]

whats in it?

[orchid raptor]

reminds me, i still have one red flare that i bought from ref

[tight crystal]

Dead serious a full box. I'm processing a streamable clip of it right now.

[orchid raptor]

[sage marsh]

[marsh wing]

#screenshots message

[marsh wing]

[marsh wing]

thursday. 1 week ago

[stone goblet]

and what would that be

[ruby sky]

Bro what is that whole airdrop of Vaseline lmao

[minor elbow]

shortest event in tarkov history?

[marsh wing]

im not telling you because i dont want everyone else to know them and they get spammed

[orchid raptor]

'kay so the goons are shoreline

[marsh wing]

i mean, you expected the bosses to stay on one map forever?

[orchid raptor]

that is fucking horrifyingh, 2nd time encountering them and first time beating them in shoreline

[sage marsh]

Yes

[minor elbow]

smuggler cases...

[marsh wing]

this is the 2nd documented case of this

[ruby sky]

Nah the smuggler event lasted the same amount of time last time we had it. The bosses stayed for alike a month though last time on reserve. To clarify, they are not still on reserve

[versed orchid]

the spawn chance still there?

[marsh wing]

you had a full week. Unless you were on vacation or out of town

smuggler cases were OP and dropping too much good ammo and guns for them to stick around forever

[ruby sky]

I had an wedding anniversary trip and then got extremely sick when I got home 😭

[minor elbow]

and I was busy until yesterday, handed in 5 closed cases for nothing man :(

[sage marsh]

Lmao

[marsh wing]

okay well RIP to you buddy

[fervent drift]

Ugggghhh now I actually have to kill kaban and his buddies just so I can do Trouble in the Big City

[glacial osprey]

smugglers cases should've dropped 50 vaselines. diddy epstein smugglers

[sage marsh]

I got my money out of it

[ruby sky]

Too bad they didnt drop packs of 5.56x45mm MK 318 Mod 0 (SOST) ya boy still need 1700 for the task

[sage marsh]

Craft it

[marsh wing]

guys. (im stealing a joke), we got diddy drops going on right now

[minor elbow]

did they announce when the event would end?

[sage marsh]

No

[ruby sky]

Oh I have been, 1 hour n something for 90 rounds at a time need 4500 total I think

[marsh wing]

it was never announced in the first play too

[charred egret]

can npc's call in airdrops?

[sage marsh]

And this wasnt even a short event. Theres been plenty of 2-3 day events that aren't announced

[minor elbow]

they appear randomly, i dont think pmcs can shoot flares

[marsh wing]

no, they are a rare spawn chance. It is likely to be full of vaseline, please let us know

[ruby sky]

Only 86 hours total to craft 4500 ssost 😭

[drowsy juniper]

vaseline event

[raw nest]

No

[drowsy juniper]

needs achievement

[minor elbow]

what task?

[charred egret]

well i wouldn't be able to tell kaban and his cronies gmg'd me

[sage marsh]

Why do you need 4500?

[drowsy juniper]

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

[marsh wing]

1 week seemed perfect for this event. Because you have to think of all the new players that couldnt access Reserve because of getting killed by bosses

[drowsy juniper]

skier task need 4500 SOST
