pve-chat

[gentle pulsar]

oh dude it would be one of my favorite weapons if i could just throw that ammo down range with no care in the world, unsuppressed too

shit would sound like a mounted MG going off

[marble bronze]

Oh for sure, anyone running it suppressed is fucking up

Gotta let that beast bark

[gentle pulsar]

i.. have always disliked the spear simply because it doesn't have a black alternative

and also because its one of the only/few guns that spawn with an LPVO

[marble bronze]

Also the ammo is kinda underwhelming

[gentle pulsar]

that too

i really dont understand the hype behind it..

[inland elk]

god damn pmc tricked me...he yelled "im out" so i looked in to shoot him and he unloaded intot me

[marble bronze]

Saaaaame

[gentle pulsar]

whenever i see a spear i just rip off the scope and drop the gun

[fervent peak]

It's mostly a better M995 round on a much more recoil friendly platform, from my understanding

[gusty reef]

I don't like the spear because it's ugly, you don't like the spear because it's mid. We are not the same

[vagrant folio]

Spear ammo hits a lot harder than 556

[marble bronze]

So does m80a1 and it's much more accessible

[vagrant folio]

It is?

[marble bronze]

Craftable after wet job 6

Vs completing LK

[fervent peak]

47 pen, 70 damage. In order to get the same damage, you gotta use RRLP, which only has 24 is pen, or M855a1 for the pen, but that only has 49 dmg

[vagrant folio]

I mean, it's PvE. Anything is viable and unlocking everything is simple enough given enough time.

[gentle pulsar]

i guess but thats to say that 995 and the M4 platform are bad when you can still get pretty effective builds, especially because Spears are harder to support in ammo and harder to obtain

plus- the spear is just ugly.

[marble bronze]

Except it's the same in PvP

[vagrant folio]

I like how it looks personally.

[fervent peak]

Apparently Hybrid is 0.002 kg heavier tha M80a1

[marble bronze]

Gun is ugly but ok, ammo is kinda trash

[gentle pulsar]

i'd like it more if it wasn't FDE barf all over

[vagrant folio]

I like FDE though

Every gun is black. It's boring.

[marble bronze]

Meanwhile I've had a box full of m80a1 since before I even got to LK

[vagrant folio]

I'm not min maxing PvE lol

[gentle pulsar]

that doesnt mean you make every single part on the gun some form of tan lol

[gusty reef]

I've been running the MDR a lot and I do so two-tone

The front half as the opposite color as the body

[gentle pulsar]

ive ran FDE kits using black recievers on M4s

[marble bronze]

50 shades of tan

[gentle pulsar]

the Spear is just ALL TAN

it aint nothin special homie

the only good thing about that gun is that finding it gives you a free LPVO

[marble bronze]

Not even a good lpvo tho

[slate bridge]

Anyone of you guys has a really good idea where I can find the BakeEzy cook book? I am desperate 😄

[vagrant folio]

#weapon-modding message

[vagrant folio]

Safes.

[gentle pulsar]

theres 2 safes on factory that you can farm for it

[fervent peak]

One of the better ones for night time. For whatever reason, most scopes make it darker when you're looking through it with NVGs

[slate bridge]

okay will try thank you

[round orbit]

I want an all black armor with arm protection. like a black zabralo

[vagrant folio]

My issue right now is WZ and Kotton. Can't see to get any scavs to spawn with them.

[fervent peak]

Black division's siege armor rig

[gentle pulsar]

or a black osprey too would be cool

[marble bronze]

Because that's actually realistic?

[vagrant folio]

Being able to look through a scope with NVGs on is unrealistic as it is.

[willow tinsel]

who knows, we might get that in Arena BP

[gentle pulsar]

i fucking hope not

that means we buy it from ref for gp coins

[willow tinsel]

i mean, thats the only way you can get other camoed rig

or armor or helmet

[gentle pulsar]

ooorrr they can do the obvious approach and instead of locking them behind a shitass Arena pass, they just add more textures to the lootpool of findable armors in base game

[willow tinsel]

bold of you to assume theyd do that

[gentle pulsar]

we already have 2 diff versions of some armors that are the same exact model but different textures

but they'd rather lock it behind arena

[gentle pulsar]

annoys me how right you are..

[willow tinsel]

[fervent peak]

If it is, then ooof

Razer my beloved 🙁

[gentle pulsar]

i have the same problem with the razor

why is it red?

[marble bronze]

Huh

The reticle? Because the illuminated reticle on a Razor is red

[gentle pulsar]

no, the actual razor itself, the metal is colored red

it ticks me off because its my favorite optic but im weird i want my shit to match colors

otherwise it feels like im putting bright pink rims on a classic camaro

[marble bronze]

Brown

Because they're brown

[scarlet pier]

red? more like copper

[gusty reef]

Magnified optics irl really eat light because that's how they magnify

the best way to get scope clarity with night vision irl is to put an NVD in FRONT of your scope, but we can't do that in game

[gentle pulsar]

i might be thinking of a diff optic

[marble bronze]

That's like, the signature thing about the Razor line

[scarlet pier]

there is no optic which exterior is pure red

[toxic patio]

We also can’t magnify in front of red dot

[marble bronze]

That stupid burnt copper crap

[gentle pulsar]

#screenshots message
this isnt red?

[marble bronze]

Because eye relief is a thing

[marble bronze]

No lol

[willow tinsel]

thats copper to me or im color blind

[scarlet pier]

no? check your monitor saturation and vibrance lol

[marble bronze]

Your monitor colors are way the fuck off if you're seeing that as red

[willow tinsel]

but dw, my friennd also says ''the red scope'' aand im likee ''what red scope''

[scarlet pier]

red is the hexagon red handguard, or the red ARE buttstock

if you put these side by side in game with the razor and they look the same, somethings wrong with your screen

[gentle pulsar]

my main monitor has vibrance boost but nothing related to hue shift, when i look on my second monitor its still red but just not as vibrant as one

second monitor i didnt even fuck with those settings either

iunno

[distant obsidian]

Or your colour blind

[scarlet pier]

if you google vortex razor HD and go their webpage, does it looks red to you? because the game reproduces the exact color of the scope

although their first two pics look a bit different, but the photo with the optic on the rifle and the one down below the page look accurate

(damn that Viper PST Gen II in black coat looks sexy)

[thorn roost]

how well does tarkov run on a hotspot if you play local only?
i'm having an outage, i tested with a scav raid on hotspot and it's running surprisingly well

[gentle pulsar]

i think its a combination of my monitor settings and post fx

but i do see what you're saying

[scarlet pier]

if you play local, only network comms is before and after the raid, not during

[thorn roost]

i got encryption params error when i extracted on that scav

but i got all the money and stuff out

[sturdy grove]

i have been thinking
im think i will try to organize a 5 man raid to the terminal and one player willing to "sacrifice" if the seats are not full
i think im asking to much
every single one of us wants to escape

[thorn roost]

no lag somehow, i streamed on discord for 5 seconds and jumped to 300ping and almost DCed tho

[jovial cobalt]

i would join someones terminal group and take the death if it's full

[scarlet pier]

I run wired and I get now and then all sorts of errors on extraction (server disconnection, encryption params, client not authorized) etc

[willow tinsel]

2 man could do Terminal pretty easy and quick, no sacrifice needed, hell even 3 man

[sturdy grove]

yeah but every time i solo i died preety easly i mean there are a few people in the terminal ill just have to keep looking

[gentle pulsar]

what kind of kit

[sturdy grove]

kit?
you mean my gear?

[gentle pulsar]

yes

[sturdy grove]

m4a1 and a few 100s magazines and m995 and ssap
armor 6B45 and a ronin respirator and some proflex and plenty of stims its a preety solid build but i think not good enough since i ran out of ammo easly

[fervent peak]

Easy until you get the Jank AI doing jank things

[cosmic patrol]

cheese

[fervent peak]

You say cheese, they say 'we're stuck in this room forever, good luck trying to lob nades or getting an angle through a security check point and weird pathing'

[distant obsidian]

Also Ronin blows

[toxic patio]

the ronin sucks, i do not understand why people like it

[distant obsidian]

Having to use ear buds is the worst thing ever in terminal

[toxic patio]

there's better face sheild options

[distant obsidian]

Ronin is good, the shitty fucking hearing will get you killed

[toxic patio]

and if i have to use buds, id rather use a fucking altyn

[distant obsidian]

Exactly

And buds are TERRIBLE

[fervent peak]

The buds barely filter anything, they just give you normal hearing back, which is already ass

[cosmic patrol]

yes

[dreamy mantle]

did anyone else get Arena kills when not in Arena and be able to complete Ref's Arena kill quest? lol

[distant obsidian]

Me and kame did 1 run with them. You cant hear ANYTHING over the fucking motors and gun shots

Need to hear voice lines? Lololol no

[toxic patio]

factory

[distant obsidian]

After that one run we went back to tac6s.

[fervent peak]

I'ma bring an X-17 next time, see how well I do with that

[toxic patio]

i use tac 5's

[dreamy mantle]

yezzir

[toxic patio]

they're the same as tac 6, but green

[distant obsidian]

I was thinking the same, but it's over swings

I was going to build one and see what I can do

[fervent peak]

For ADS? I think mine barely does so

[distant obsidian]

But if it over swings. Fuck no

[fervent peak]

Only has 12 less ergo than our M4s

[distant obsidian]

But weighs more

Idk, have to build one using the gin builder site.

[fervent peak]

I made mine the same size, and only weight like 400 grams more

[distant obsidian]

As long as it doesn't over swing I want to try one as well

[fervent peak]

The ammo on the other hand might be a minor weight issue

[raw nest]

pro flexes are good

[distant obsidian]

No they are not

No ambient reduction means you can't fucking hear anything

They are trash tier garbage

[fervent peak]

Again, the earbuds only give you hearing BACK, not make it better

[toxic patio]

like, if you want face pro with terminal

run a team wendy ballistic sheild

[willow tinsel]

nah

[toxic patio]

and slap a deathshadow under it

[willow tinsel]

then ronin and proflex are better

[fervent peak]

You can get away with only the death shadow and save yourself that ergo hit

[cosmic patrol]

bro its fucking hot out rn damn

8 PM and 12° man im dying

[toxic patio]

i don't mind ergo hit over the additional safety tbh

[fervent peak]

AI rarely headshot to begin with anyways, majority of Tyreall and my deaths have been thorax (BD just pen everything anyways)

[willow tinsel]

your vision is like, 90% of terminal run, if my face shield is somehow blocking a BD, its over for me

[fervent peak]

He did get Head eyes once, but you ain't stopping 60 pen ammo with a faceshield like that

[cosmic patrol]

BD prefire the fuck out of everything

[distant obsidian]

It's about the hearing. If you can't hear because the buds are not filtering anything out, then your just fucked

Vision and hearing is 90% of terminal survival

[rain jay]

had this happen to me today and it ruined a run (1 BD before finish), a BD guy sneaked to me and i couldnt hear him

[willow tinsel]

its the fact that there is shit on your faceshield that blurs ur vision

[toxic patio]

atp i might as well just not wear a helmet

[distant obsidian]

Your hearing will save your life more then anything in this game

[royal kelp]

hey can i get some help with a crash my friend is having?

[willow tinsel]

and like Kame said, Bd will drop you no matter what with or without face shield, you only wear ronin for scavs

[toxic patio]

or just slap a DA bastion and some quadnods on

[distant obsidian]

#community-support

[raw nest]

@distant obsidiandoes tac-kek heavy trooper + death shadown stack?

[royal kelp]

thanks

[toxic patio]

yeah

[jovial cobalt]

i just used a flux helmet in terminal

light and no debuffs and maybe ill ricochet bd ammo

[distant obsidian]

I don't think they can no. But that won't save you from anything extra in terminal. All your doing is stacking debuffs

[raw nest]

Just like i thought

I run helmet without deathshadow

[sinful tree]

im so close to ticket done can anyone just shoot scavs for me while i do my pmc kills

[willow tinsel]

try https://discord.com/channels/521608697764380694/1242615524228337814

[sinful tree]

i did 😭

[willow tinsel]

someone help this poor guy

[thorn roost]

mid day on a wednesday, might take a while

i'd help but i'm escaping tarkov on a hotspot

[sturdy grove]

so are you trying to escape?

[thorn roost]

no i stay for murder

[sturdy grove]

i will escape one way or another but i will not falter

when i return home from work i wont falter

[night oriole]

Any tips for learning maps

[raw nest]

Ask someone to run them with you and have it on second screen or try navigating by yourself to learn map

[willow tinsel]

Whats your progress on chapters

[gusty reef]

3 technically 4 out of 9
Tour, Accidental Witness, and Blue Fire are done and Falling Skies might as well be done

I think next I'm doing The Unheard

[willow tinsel]

oh you just wait on timegate

[gusty reef]

As always

I want to get all my side stories done before I go all in on The Ticket anyway

Besides I still have to get my scav and BTR rep maxed

[willow tinsel]

[dreamy mantle]

i did a terrible sacrifice of a gun, some armor, a backpack and i forget what else to the cultist circle, i got back 2 COFDM!!!!!

[gusty reef]

I need COFDMs so bad...

I need to get intel center 3 for batya and I need the ones for Lightkeeper and I have ZERO rn 😭

[dreamy mantle]

and it was a 6 hour return so not even anything worth due to the obvious time

yeah i had 0 until i got them, and now intel center level 3 is upgrading......

[gusty reef]

The 6 hour gives task and hideout items, it can really be worth late game

[dreamy mantle]

oh i didnt even realize. i am a n00b obvs

[gusty reef]

When your sacrifice value is 400,000 roubles or more you have a 75% of getting the 14 hour timer with just a general loot pool or a 25% chance of a 6 hour timer that will give you items for task and hideout upgrades

You obviously rolled the 25% and got the 2 COFDMs for Intel Center

[soft aurora]

yo

i have a question, what is the best settings for max fps? Iam having a terrible FPS on quite a good pc

cpu and gpu usage is attrocious

[dreamy mantle]

just rolled a 6 hr again. tagilla mask, bastion helmet, RSASS, and 2x comtac VI's

@gusty reef i will let you know what happens....

[thorn roost]

if you have a good PC, try playing local and lower everything possible in the graphics settings

[soft aurora]

i have pretty much the best PC money can buy except 5090

my GPU usage is 17% my cpu usage is 10%

and i get 80 fps, its unplayable lmao

[thorn roost]

your pc will probably run better than BSG servers

[onyx depot]

Tarkov is extremely well optimized... definitely your pc 😂

[soft aurora]

i have 5080, 32 gb ram and 9850 x3d

[thorn roost]

the ragebait 🥀

[onyx depot]

lol

[dreamy mantle]

i would reset graphics settings in tarkov and your nvidia app

[willow tinsel]

my friend bought 2x 32GB Ram, fixed any stutter for him, game runs crisp

[dreamy mantle]

i was having a terrible shadow issue and that resolved it for me because i messed with the settings thinking i knew better

[soft aurora]

its a fresh install

[dreamy mantle]

oh

[soft aurora]

i just got pc tbh and figured i might try tarkov after a big break

[dreamy mantle]

and you're using an m.2 nvme?

[soft aurora]

yes, the new kind with 8000 mb/s write/save

also fresh out of the box

[gusty reef]

I need to start using my cultist circle again, I've been ignoring it because it kept giving me shit lol

[dreamy mantle]

🍆 😩

[soft aurora]

if i cant get 140 fps while game looks like tetriz iam gonna peace out once again cuz its not even funny

[willow tinsel]

whats your monitor resolution

[soft aurora]

qhd

[carmine marsh]

So... I was today years old when I found out that Zryachiy can spawn with an AK-50....

[soft aurora]

i changed all settings to high/max

still 100-120 fps with dips

what the hell

[gusty reef]

He's been able to since it was added

[gusty reef]

Vsync?

[soft aurora]

is there anyone here who has 140 fps stable in this game?

[carmine marsh]

I was not aware... Well now I am since he blacked my stomach and redded everything else with 1 shot

[distant obsidian]

If I ran the game in 1080 sure. But I'm a 1440p gamer so

[soft aurora]

i mean iam 1440p gamer too, but its game fault not my gpu

[distant obsidian]

80-120 local on most maps with close to max settings

[soft aurora]

my gpu is at 27% as we speak

[gusty reef]

Do you have vsync on

[soft aurora]

no its off

[distant obsidian]

Your not getting 140 consistent frames in tarkov

Unless you play servers

[willow tinsel]

do you have mip streaming off, for gods sake turn it off if so

[soft aurora]

as in not pve?

[distant obsidian]

Not PvE? What?

[soft aurora]

mips off

wdym play "servers"

[distant obsidian]

Just play on servers if you want better performance

[gusty reef]

In pve you can opt to play on either BSG servers or local host

[soft aurora]

where is that setting?

[gusty reef]

On the raid map. I can pull.it up and take an ss if you'd like

[willow tinsel]

when you select a map, should be a box you can tick off and on for BSG server or local

[soft aurora]

lemme check

i see it

[gusty reef]

Fire

[soft aurora]

okay

it went to 220 fps? and suddenly my gpu usage jumped to 60%?

[green ibex]

lfg just starting https://discord.com/channels/521608697764380694/1478414356755775600

[soft aurora]

what kind of sorcery is this

is there any guide on max FPS settings for high end pc?

and why is "max fps" disabled when reflex is on? haha

[willow tinsel]

Tarkov is CPU heavy, so lowering your texture doesnt actually do a whole lot but basically making your GPU not do a whole lot

[soft aurora]

good thing its CPU heavy, too bad i have the best CPU for gaming on the market

and my cpu is at 16% use

[onyx depot]

tarkov is not well optizmized.. dont expect much

even Lvndmark who has an insane pc is not happy with it

[soft aurora]

i swear this game used to run better back 5-6 years ago

or maybe i was just blind child addicted to it

idk

[onyx depot]

there was also half the shit in the game there is now

[soft aurora]

i have better cpu for gaming than lvndmark

cuz he uses the 9 series

[onyx depot]

by 3%?

[soft aurora]

oh no ryzen 7 x3d smashes ryzen 9

in gaming

but still 5-10%

specs aside, this game runs awful holy

[onyx depot]

this we are aware of

it's only a $250 dollar game

[willow tinsel]

man just play the game, if i can do it with a 3070 and a Ryzen 7 5800x with 32GB, so can you

[soft aurora]

xD

i paid like 150 5-6 years ago

[proud pebble]

whats the best post fx filter?

[onyx depot]

there isnt really one. it could depend on your screen colour settings too

just fiddle with it until it looks nice

dafuck!??! what is this sorcery

i accepted the GIVE THE TANK BATTERY TO BTR, completed the raid, went back to woods, waited for his ass to arrive in the lumber camp, handed it over and completed the task, ran for the extraction, the power in my neighborhood went down, power came back, hoaled back to woods to hand over the battery, BTR driver wont take it, checked tasks, THE TASK DISAPPEARED, what in the god damn shit?

i can only assume it counted as completed even though i didnt finish the raid or died

[distant obsidian]

Yes, when a task is done its done

You can't fail a task you completed and handed in

[willow tinsel]

dw i did kinda the same mistake

[bronze saddle]

the whole raid reseted, but the task was completed... ONLY with the BTR driver

i literally have the battery still in my backpack

[distant obsidian]

Even local raids have a connection to servers in some way. Idk. Go get your next task and see

[young frost]

dude who tf knows. i got in the btr the other day n got a notification that i completed delivery from the past part 2 (i finished his last quest in december)

[bronze saddle]

no tasks here which i can only assume i have to wait a couple of hours so ill check tomorrow after work

[cerulean axle]

Woods is server based

I thought*

[young frost]

woods is anything but based

[bronze saddle]

love how i only have 4 remaining tasks (not counting the 2 i cant do with Ref cause i need fucking Arena). Gunsmith 25, small business part 1 which im lacking the Ryzhy figurine which i cant ffffucking find in marked rooms nor labs and its giving me an aneurysm, offensive reconnaisance and assement part 3

woods is ass

id rather fight Tagilla with a PM Makarov which i did multiple times and won

[cerulean axle]

The next quest should be the radar one on woods. You can ask him for quests on streets as well. You have to turn in the last quest there anyway or it resets

[bronze saddle]

i know, but he wont give me it YET, hence why i said ill check on it tomorrow

[cerulean axle]

Yeh. I just know there shouldn’t be any time gates on those.

[bronze saddle]

exactly... even the wiki says theres no 6-10 hour wait bullshit like the other BTR/Skier quest line tasks

[cerulean axle]

It might sort itself out after a trip to another map. Hope it gets fixed tomorrow. If you can run streets, head there. See if that connection does anything.

[bronze saddle]

will do.. still need that fucking PKP which that fat fuck never spawns with

okay thanks

[hallow moon]

ive opened up reshalas like 5 times in a row and every single time there was nothing in there, not even jackets, is that intended, is my game bugged, or am i the unluckiest man alive?

[hallow moon]

i hate it here

[random viper]

ok leave

[hallow moon]

no :(

actually i did im done with customs for a bit we goin to reserve next

[random viper]

Try learning bitcoin spawns on customs
If you hit all of him you can garantee yourself 1-2 BTC per raid

If you dont count all the stashes everywhere

[hallow moon]

im waiting until i get therapist 4 before i start money grinding (on labs) and until then im doing as many tasks as possible

[willow stump]

does the escort quest have to be done in one life?

[hallow moon]

but for money making ill consider custom bc spawns i didnt know bc spawns on customs

[random viper]

Yes

[raw nest]

Yes

[willow stump]

alright got it

[random viper]

Try running either reserve all marked keys for quick cash and ofc drawers for quick $
either that or interchange both medical rooms (ultramed and necrusfarm)

[hallow moon]

labs is pretty quick and has high cash potential tho cause guaranteed res unit

and i dont have to spend my life savings on 3 keys

[marsh wing]

where BP s2 at

[bronze saddle]

god DAMMIT i hate that fat man!!

why wont he spawn with a PKP??? am i asking too much?

Killed and looted him 4 times during the boss event. He gave me 2 pkps

Was nice.

[bronze saddle]

PKM was the best i got

[marsh wing]

only what, 3 letters off?

[bronze saddle]

1 letter. M over P

[marsh wing]

M, N, O, P

[gusty reef]

I'm level 29 and I feel like my roubles are infinite

I am buying like 1.5m in stash items on a regular basis

I only bother to keep track of items that have to be fir anymore

[uneven tide]

Hey, does anyone know why I can't finish the gunsmith part 3 task? I have a gun made I play on pve and I don't know

[marsh wing]

check the wiki

[uneven tide]

Im check

[marsh wing]

send a screenshot of your gun in #screenshots

[uneven tide]

I send

[gusty reef]

@uneven tide you're missing the rear sight.

[vale atlas]

its crazy how often "You forgot the sight" is the thing lol

Or "You have a loaded magazine"

[astral kindle]

Or "you accidentally put grey/plum part instead of black"

Thats also very common mistake

[summer zinc]

dude almost every raid we have had the goons with my duo sheesh

[gusty reef]

RBVO is lowkey overrated asf

It's always only guns and very rarely good ones

[astral kindle]

Every marked is currently overrated

[gusty reef]

I get good stuff out of some of them

[toxic patio]

It has a window.

[gusty reef]

And it's very rarely worth opening

[rare idol]

I didnt realise marked rooms were this bad atm until i opened dorms and got a mp7 and cat figure and thats it ;-;

[gusty reef]

Most rooms at least semi consistently put out good stuff
The only time in 1.0 I've seen loot in RBVO worth a key use is when we had smuggler's cases

[astral kindle]

During smuggler event markeds got buffed back to "normal" and of course after event ended they were nerfed back into oblivion

[lethal carbon]

is there no rpg airdrop event in pve?

[astral kindle]

Far as i know it was bug like airdrop full of vaseline

[lethal carbon]

interesting

[gusty reef]

Didn't Nikita confirm on twitter it wasn't a bug

[vernal meteor]

yo gents, for Easy Job - Pt. 2, do I have to be in water treatment or do the killed AI have to be in the area?

[willow tinsel]

as long as they are in the area and you kill them, it counts

[astral kindle]

No idea, if he did confirm it i must have missed that

[vernal meteor]

bet, thank you 🐐

[distant obsidian]

He did. It was in a comment.

All intended

[willow tinsel]

rogues on building 1 counts too

[vernal meteor]

yeah i assumed so, thanks for the help yo, appreciate it

[young frost]

i got one yesterday

[willow tinsel]

i got some today

a few hours ago

[vale atlas]

On any specific maps by any chance lol? i need to hunt them and have had no luck so far

[waxen vapor]

whast the max level for streng

strength

[fierce plume]

51

[astral kindle]

Any map where they can spawn, personally id run customs even if its 30%

[vale atlas]

Ah so its not been happening anywhere specific, thanks appreciate it

[rare idol]

With the they are already here story chaper, if i got the chapter started by killing a cultist how do i go back and get the Note about the Eye of the World? I think its needed for the saviour ending?

[marsh wing]

@distant obsidian im at 47~ tasks away from collector

[astral kindle]

You could try going into lighthouse over to ||torture house|| and see if ||tape is there||

[rare idol]

Ive done and and i did get the tape

I just havent been able to find that first note

[astral kindle]

You went into streets over to ||Victim's apartment||?

[rare idol]

Yea

[astral kindle]

Could be main quest items aren't just spawning atm, friend is having issues with accidental witness as those items aren't spawning in

[rare idol]

I got the prep note, book and audio tape from the apartment but im still missing that first note

Thats what im a lil confused about

[astral kindle]

Ah, thats just optional way to start quest, its not even required as minor evidences

[rare idol]

Ah ok so double checking the Note about the Eye of the World isnt needed for the saviour ending?

[astral kindle]

Nope, you only need finish each story for savior

[rare idol]

Ah ok

[astral kindle]

Collecting all minor evidences just gives achievement

[versed orchid]

Umm what boss has guards on interchange i didnt know killa had gaurds

[astral kindle]

8 major evidences are required for savior which you get by completing each story task

[astral kindle]

No-one, only Killa and Tagilla can spawn in there, neither of them have guards

[rare idol]

Ah okies! Tysm!

[versed orchid]

Not sure why i managed to kill 5 guards by power station

[astral kindle]

Got any names for those guards?

[versed orchid]

went to the menu confused quickly

wish they would able to let us see last raid

[cerulean axle]

Killa can have scavs nearby, but there should not be any guards.

That's super wild.

[versed orchid]

Unless the scavs got mistaken by guards

[cerulean axle]

It would list [guard] for their faction where you killed them.

[versed orchid]

Showed Guard shot them in the thorax

[distant obsidian]

Good job, keep going

[astral kindle]

Did you transit into interchange from other map?

[cerulean axle]

There's no event active on Interchange right now.

[versed orchid]

no i was doing the they are already here mission

[marsh wing]

i only just got on tarkov today. ive been playing stardew all day

[versed orchid]

Im at the part to shoot the yellow flare for the ticket mission so maybe that

[cerulean axle]

Let us know if it happens again. that's super weird.

[manic lance]

is there any real difference betwerrn the G28 and G28 patrol?

[astral kindle]

Same weapon, different handguard and stock

[manic lance]

some different attachments that changes stats

[astral kindle]

Patrol is just preset name as some weapons have those

Like birdeye's "Your-ex" M4

[manic lance]

i got both now lol

got normal one from cultist

[marsh wing]

that sad feeling you get when you find a lvl 60 PMC of the same faction

[manic lance]

can you find higher than 60 right now?

[marsh wing]

not that im aware of

but im lacking on that subject so i cant answer accurately

[astral kindle]

Nope

[manic lance]

im going to require you to join my raid and sacrifice your dogtag to me lol

[marsh wing]

i dont think that works

[manic lance]

it doesnt lol

[distant obsidian]

def not how it works

[astral kindle]

Not going to help sadly, party memeber tags gets tagged and sell 1 rubble + don't give any stats

[marsh wing]

the FIRST scav i checked on GZ had a RBK

[astral kindle]

Also rather not get my 12th death that way

[manic lance]

i just want 1 over 60

even dozen

its for a good cause

think of the children

[marsh wing]

PVE players will never have level 61+ dogtags in our Hall of Fame unless they add PMC's with higher levels

our hall of fame is basically coded to only work for AI dogtags if im correct

prevents people with max level accounts from boosting their friends

[astral kindle]

Yes and no, you can't get into same raid with random PMC unless they are in your party. And party member tags get marked which is why they always sell 1 rouble to therapist

[marsh wing]

so same thing, just in a different way

does Laby have insurance or no? i cant rememebr

[astral kindle]

Nope

And hall of fame got XP cap, can't remember exact number

So having it full of 59 dogtags vs 60 don't affect it as XP bonus stays same

[manic lance]

my dogtag case has 58 59 60 58 58 58 59 60 59 60

[marsh wing]

sort that please

[manic lance]

sorry hall of fame

[astral kindle]

Long as those are opposite faction and your kills hall of fame will grant XP bonus

[manic lance]

yeah its 16.284%

once i get all 60s it will be 17% i think

[gusty reef]

god I should've gotten my priest kills for they are already here while the event was on

this mf is NOT spawning

[manic lance]

lol

[mild star]

Ok, 556 needs a bit off a buff, its bit too anemeic

[manic lance]

ammo matters

[swift path]

No they're not

[astral kindle]

5.56 slaps, been running it last few days as i've grown tired running AK 24/7

[willow stump]

if you dont reset to 1.0 can you still get to labyrinth?

[astral kindle]

If you grind keycards from bosses yes
But honestly you don't have any reason not to reset

[manic lance]

if you dont reset your kind of limited

[willow stump]

i reset asking for a homie

[sage marsh]

Story mode is ass

[willow stump]

im almost escaped

[manic lance]

tell homie to get right

[swift path]

I've seen a lot of people somehow choose AP rounds in pve which gain penetration they don't need and reduced dmg

[astral kindle]

Its kinda meh but i just didn't have anything to do after finishing every quest and having most skills elite

[sage marsh]

I wanna 100% my skills

[astral kindle]

Wiping account brought motivation to play

[sage marsh]

Im 9 short rn

[swift path]

It's significantly worse on small caliber, 556 and 545

[manic lance]

good luck with melee

[sage marsh]

Thats not bad honestly

Its already level 24

[cerulean axle]

The biggest negative with story mode is time gates.

[manic lance]

wtf are you using your melee for

[sage marsh]

Killing people

[astral kindle]

What about GLs and HMG?

[cerulean axle]

If there weren't time gates, and skills weren't abysmal to level up I think people would enjoy playing more.

[sage marsh]

9

Hmg is 3

[astral kindle]

Went through my old pics and i had both at 4 from weeklies

[sage marsh]

I always use the mounted guns when I can

[manic lance]

G28 or sr25

[astral kindle]

SR

[vale atlas]

Dealers choice, they're basically the same, g28 has slightly better recoil/ergo but i doubt you'd notice it

Go for whatevers either cheaper, or you think is cooler

[astral kindle]

I like HK weapons but SR-25 got better parts + it can be 2-tone

[young frost]

2 tone is 🤮

[vale atlas]

I'm inclined towards the g28 since the ergo changes lol. I do love me the sr25 but its new meta is ugly

[mild star]

nah im sorry, m855 should require a mag dump too kill a scav topo the cehst

thats the issue, it needs a slight buff because its too head shot dependant

[manic lance]

i got the g28 to 50 70 193

my SR25 sits at 51 77 177

[hazy moss]

my g28 is 65 ergo 73 recoil iirc

[distant obsidian]

50 ergo seem super low

you should not be at 50

[hazy moss]

50 is very low for the g28

[distant obsidian]

for both

[vale atlas]

Using a silencer?

[manic lance]

no silencer

[distant obsidian]

they should have about the same ergo, but the recoil on the g28 will be better

[vale atlas]

Huh

[distant obsidian]

or recoul the same and better ergo on the g28

[willow tinsel]

I've enjoyed it quite a lot, and to me not wiping is basically just putting your account into a state pre release and can never really experience ending. What if you need to have a wiped account for upcoming DLC, we dont know

[manic lance]

they are built the same basically

[distant obsidian]

yeah your builds are wrong then for sure

[manic lance]

i built them for max amount of recoil i could get

[hazy moss]

my g28 is suppressed with more ergo 😭

[distant obsidian]

which is a terrible idea for DMRs

[vale atlas]

I wouldn't worry too much about recoil, they are tapfire

[distant obsidian]

but alsoyour recoil isnt even good lol

[vale atlas]

Ergo is most important

[hazy moss]

75 is perfectly fine for a DMR

if not 80

[vale atlas]

You could max the recoil and it'd still be fine

Not great but it would still do its job lol

[versed orchid]

Anybody that play reserve having a bug with ping?

[distant obsidian]

#weapon-modding

g28 in there.

I posted my sr25. I know you can do better, but I love the URC handguard so

[astral kindle]

Didn't SR-25 take BMD?

[gusty reef]

URC handguard mentioned glaze activated

[distant obsidian]

if you want terrible muzzle flash sure.

[gusty reef]

I am #1 URC lover

[distant obsidian]

YES

[gusty reef]

I desperately want picatinny rail covers in game

URC is the closest I can get

[astral kindle]

Oh so normal muzzle don't add flash?
Funny how i got 4.5k hours and still learning something new

[distant obsidian]

lso bmd is worse then the red

and ugly

and heavier

[vale atlas]

its more that red is just one of the least offensive muzzle flashes around when unsilenced, and ergo changes made silencers less than ideal

If you try them out and try to keep anything on target with rapid fire you'll see the issue lol

[distant obsidian]

red is just the bst in all aspects

best even on the spear

[vale atlas]

Ooh i need to use the spear more, i have a weapon box full of them waiting for me

[distant obsidian]

red turns it into a demon even more

also you can use 50s on it just fine

They hybrid was as good as it should be I would use it in terminal

#weapon-modding for the spear. So fucking good

[marsh wing]

just pulled black out of chek and pkpm out of rbk

[distant obsidian]

5.4kg fully loaded with a 50.

[sage marsh]

The spear has always been nasty

[distant obsidian]

spear just got better with the parts rework to.

[vale atlas]

I've only used it a couple of times, i've left it aside to let the ammo pile up lol

[distant obsidian]

yeah, as I said I would use it in terminal if hybrid was actuyally as good as it was IRL

[sage marsh]

Remember when the spear was just a heavier hitting m4

[marsh wing]

bro another airdrop is flying into streets

[astral kindle]

Streets get 2 drops for some reason

[marsh wing]

i already grabbed one. I barely started v-ex and another flew in

it looks like its the one guarded by MGL tho

im doing peacekeeping mission while i run through the other maps for tasks

GZ and streets done already

[jovial cobalt]

burritos16x20

[marsh wing]

go lick some dishes or something

[trim kettle]

Nikita is Russian Kojima btw

[manic lance]

i somehow kiled tagilla with a random nade across the map

[lethal garnet]

don’t lick any boots guys

[versed orchid]

Why have all the key cards drop drasticlly in price

[marsh wing]

people using their marked keys from the cultists last week

[fervent peak]

Or: Supply over exceeded demand

[versed orchid]

no i mean for labs

[fervent peak]

#pve-chat message

[marsh wing]

yes. People using their marked keys, to open marked rooms, which can contain keycards

i just pulled a black from Chek

[fervent peak]

eagerly awaiting marked room buffs

200 uses stored up, is gonna be a PARTY once it happens again

[marsh wing]

i only hit up chek because i had a RBK key to use and i was going to streets anyways

[versed orchid]

the pk kkey always seems to be good from that room

[marsh wing]

yes

[versed orchid]

but pkpm is doodoo

[marsh wing]

no

[fervent peak]

This is a public reminder that Marked rooms are GAMBLING, all keys have equal chance to be shit or good

[versed orchid]

ive had no luck with that room

[manic lance]

idk after event they seem like shit

[fervent peak]

... again, it is GAMBLING, sometimes a little good, sometimes a little shit

[marsh wing]

they were kinda shit before the event

they buffed them for event, gave us weapon cases in them as well

[manic lance]

#screenshots message

random nade

[marsh wing]

they wanted people to actually use their keys and not hoard them

[fervent peak]

Only got one MSGL case... would've been nice to see em more 🙁

[drowsy juniper]

[mystic yoke]

Does alt f4 still work

[distant obsidian]

Dont talk about exploits

[gentle pulsar]

"exploit"

[astral kindle]

Yes because it is unintended feature

[drowsy juniper]

and mega cringe

[obtuse lodge]

can someone help explain how progression from arena is transferred to PVE? more like how do levels and xp get transferred?

[astral kindle]

Not sure if PMC XP gets transfered but atleast some % of skill XP gets transfered, there might be softcap of 30 but i can't remember

[gentle pulsar]

pretty sure it also means you dont gain anything you did from that raid either

dunno, ive never purposely tried to recreate it

[astral kindle]

Correct because you are hosting server and server "shuts down"

[thorny roost]

I think the cap is in arena only. You can go past it for xp in EFT

[mystic yoke]

My b, trying to do terminal and got the worst possible shoreline spawn lol

[astral kindle]

BSG could technically implement feature what "kills" your character when that happens but it would also affect actual server crashes on both pvp and pve which would make everyone angry

[astral kindle]

Fair enough, haven't played arena for while

[thorny roost]

Its basically how i maxed out endurance while using the gym

[jovial cobalt]

all skill xp goes from Arena to pvp and pve

its just that in arena matches everyone has lv30 strength and shit like that so that it's fair

[thorny roost]

They weren't sure if it stopped after gaining 30 skill levels in EFT

[gentle pulsar]

or it could even just be a check to specifically find out when alt f4 is used, as its not like actually disconnecting through the servers own means would trigger that

i guess in theory if you're stuck in the game so bad you cant do anything but alt f4 it could be a false trigger

which, with tarkov, isn't too far off

[fervent peak]

Arena is great if you wanna max out a weapon skill, my assault rifles skill jumped like 10 levels trying to get a level of stress resistance

[lethal garnet]

chill

[mystic yoke]

Theres pmcs between me and the terminal entrance will i get murked shooting them

[lethal garnet]

wdym

[jovial cobalt]

no just stay near the intercom or behind it

[lethal garnet]

kill them

[astral kindle]

Its normal PMCs spawn around terminal intercom, just shoot them

[jovial cobalt]

as long as you dont hit the RUAF guards or go too close to them with your weapon out / without scanning your card then you're fine

[mystic yoke]

Thanks yall, i just waited for them to push me behind the bus

They were on the road that lead to the entrance i didnt want to aggro the guards

[gusty reef]

the humble task manager

[jovial cobalt]

40 btc down the drain for this loser mechanic

[tough pawn]

is tarkov arena not on steam?

[astral kindle]

No

[jovial cobalt]

i play tarkov arena via the bsg launcher on steam tho so kinda but not rlly

[stone harbor]

well he did sorry for not being competent enough XD

[toxic patio]

don't diss mechanic he's a bro

literally nothing but kind to the PMC the entire time

[stone harbor]

he is kind to you because you are competent enough to carry out his tasks XD

[toxic patio]

as he should be

he respects his best worker

[stone harbor]

a good boss will get so much from his staff, and a loyal staff will receive the same amount from a nice boss

[toxic patio]

he pays well

[lethal garnet]

yes i do

[finite tide]

for blue fire do i need to give mechanic fragment or keep it for saivor i dont see it on the wiki

[vagrant folio]

That quest doesn't impact your ending. It just gives you an achievement.

[elder bay]

anyone else taking forever to get to the main menu after raid

[finite tide]

yep

[finite tide]

okii thank you

[modern elbow]

Just finished escort, was sorting stash before I clicked complete. Got an SSL error and now just at a blank loading screen......

[fallen mason]

Just restart the game

[modern elbow]

Okay, was waiting cuz I wasnt sure if that would kill the progress or fail it somehow.

Restart worked thank you

[fallen mason]

Nah once you leave raid and make it back to the main menu your progress is saved.

The after raid report screen even

[mystic yoke]

What gun are yall using to do terminal? Kitted up m4 is just not killing BD fast enough, just made an HK to see if its better

[jovial cobalt]

i think i escaped with ak12 w/ 7n40 60rd mags

BS probably better generally but i was confident with 7n40 personally

[mystic yoke]

Copy !

[gusty reef]

Finally someone who didn't do it with the SPEAR or NL545 lmao

[jovial cobalt]

im gonna do it with spear now though lol

i dont really ever use the spear though and i've never actually unlocked hybrid

[gusty reef]

I feel like most people say it's best to do it with the 7.62x51 rifles but I honestly don't like using them that much

When I get there I'm probably going to either use the 5.56 MDR or the Ak-12

[jovial cobalt]

makarov only

[gusty reef]

I have 3 fully kitted 7.62 MDRs and two X-17s I just don't really like running them out that much

It's just something about their recoil ig

I can't really think of any situation where I'd prefer them to just a low recoil 5.56 build

[jovial cobalt]

i like 7.62x51 in labyrinth but its all close range so the recoil isnt as huge of a deal

[gusty reef]

I can see that working out

I should do labyrinth tomorrow for the story quest

[jovial cobalt]

same i have yet to go in, i just got the cards from jaeger tho

[gusty reef]

I haven't even started the chapter

You just go to the shoreline basement and then talk to him and he gives you the cards right

[jovial cobalt]

yeeee

have to get the knossos key first though too

[gusty reef]

guaranteed spawn every raid so whatevs

I think I have one actually just sitting in my stash

"Oh this story chapter is really short actually I can get this all done in an hour tomorrow"
looks inside
Wait for Jaeger to gather the keycards - Wait 24-48 hours

[stone harbor]

I go with X-17 with big mags

[gusty reef]

Thank you Nikita for artificially making everything take 3 days

[jovial cobalt]

[gusty reef]

It's such a short chapter too 😭 wtf man

[pseudo kayak]

when you think about a gun, think about whether Nikita himself would approve, that's how you find YOUR terminal loadout

[gusty reef]

Has anyone considered asking Nikita for his optimal terminal loadout

So we can all run that

[pseudo kayak]

I can already see it and it's so beautiful

[gusty reef]

Share with us your wisdom, BSG Shaman

[pseudo kayak]

overswing on a vector 9mm god knows how, tier 6 ceramic front and back plate on an osprey protection not even assault, couch backpack, and a pm with a drum mag w 2 to spare 🥺

he dies, says yo wtf fuck these cheating ass bd fucks, blows up terminal and extracts ❤️

[gusty reef]

He turns on god mode and just walks there and then talks about how he did really well on designing the map

[pseudo kayak]

he uses the gun where all the BD now are friendly towards him

so technically his loadout is what they run

omg ive done it ive found his loadout

[gusty reef]

He spawns in all the BD gear you are so smart

[echo hamlet]

what can i do with the sealed boxes from the smuggler event?

[jovial cobalt]

sell

[echo hamlet]

it says they can be opened with multitool?

[jovial cobalt]

ye but after completing thats a great plan walter which was the very original smuggler event task

[distant obsidian]

In 2024 yeah

[jovial cobalt]

so its impossible to open

unless you didn't wipe your pve at all for 1.0 and played the original event? lol

[fervent peak]

Just chuck em at therapist or see if cultist circle takes em

[echo hamlet]

i can open #screenshots this but not the items from it

i have like 25 unlocked cases 😭

[finite tide]

how do i get hide out stuff from circle?

[willow tinsel]

@finite tide

[finite tide]

so just sacrifice stuff thats around 400K

[willow tinsel]

yea basically and hope it gets 6 hr timer

anyone else excited for the GZW update?

[distant obsidian]

Waiting for .5

Not enough guns yet

[finite tide]

Gzw updated?

[toxic patio]

overswing on a vector:

the -30% ergo penalty from gear and armor

[jovial cobalt]

0.4 update on march 31

[celest nexus]

Yes it says that but you can’t actually do anything sadly, best to just sell them to therapist

[thorny roost]

Can i ask yall a redundent question real quick?

[jovial cobalt]

nope never

jk what up

[thorny roost]

Fair enough

I am having the hardest fucking time trying to run into Partisan. I haven't physically seen him in a month. The only sign that I've seen that he was possibly in my raid was a PMC with his gun. No tripwires. No previous explosions from said tripwires being set off. No body. Wtf am i doing wrong

[jovial cobalt]

not being lucky enough

[thorny roost]

How remedy?

[jovial cobalt]

in PVP i think it works differently because pmc karma actually works in PVP which i think affects how partizan aggros to players im not 100% sure

[finite tide]

What’s gzw?

[jovial cobalt]

so in pve its just kinda, random i believe?

[jovial cobalt]

grayzone warfare

[thorny roost]

Yeah there's PMC Karma in PVP but there isnt shit to increase him in PVE, or so I've found.

[jovial cobalt]

i cant remember if there's a way to get him to aggro you in pve or not

[thorny roost]

Like I'm on the verge of giving up

[thorny roost]

I haven't found anything saying so

[jovial cobalt]

i think ive heard that in pvp you can just hide somewhere if you have low enough karma and he can just come to you and put tripwires outside of where you're hiding

but alas idk how similar it works in pve

[thorny roost]

This is a thing but its not a thing in PVE

[thorny roost]

None of the stuff that works in PVP works in PVE. Thats what i know but I don't know if any other PVE players have had increased luck doing something specific or not

[jovial cobalt]

none of the other pve chat residents are on

[thorny roost]

FUCK

Oh well. Guess i keep bashin my head against a wall.

[humble cliff]

partisan?

[thorny roost]

ye

[humble cliff]

only times iv seen him were shoreline

[thorny roost]

The only map I've never seen him on is Lighthouse

[humble cliff]

id try to just duck into somewhere and wait, see if you can catch him

snowball im guessing?

[humble cliff]

interesting

[willow tinsel]

didnt even know he could spawn on lighthouse

[thorny roost]

Yep. Was at 11/13 because of the event and died. Now I'm at 9/13 with only him, streets bosses and Zryachiy left. I am so tired of looking for this dude

[thorny roost]

Neither did I till i looked him up

[thorny roost]

But doesn't that only work in PVP?

[humble cliff]

idk, i was waiting at the boat extract to make sure it was clear be for running to it, and he just bum rushed me and i got lucky

[thorny roost]

I've sat multiple times in different structures for 10+ minutes and he never showed

[humble cliff]

im sure itll happen, just gotta wait

[thorny roost]

I'll try it again

Map suggestion? Shoreline?

[humble cliff]

im too new to give honest advice, my only times seeing him were dumb luck

[thorny roost]

How recent were your shoreline encounters?

[humble cliff]

back in like late december, early jan?

[thorny roost]

oh damn

[humble cliff]

uhno christmas event was over, so maybe february

[jovial cobalt]

just killed him on lighthouse at WTC

[thorny roost]

BET

[lost dagger]

Partizan lowk just be roaming around

[thorny roost]

He aint been roamin around me, thats for sure

[lost dagger]

i dont think the karma system actually works as intended for him

In pvp anyway idk about pve

[thorny roost]

It doesnt exist in PVE

[alpine vigil]

for the good ending, do i keep the case and not hand over to prapor?

[thorny roost]

Yes, you keep the case

[thorny roost]

Wish me luck good sir

[trail sail]

U looking for Partizan?

[thorny roost]

Been lookin for him for a month now

[trail sail]

Run maps where he can spawn on local, don't use bsg servers

I've never ever seen him spawn on bsg servers

[thorny roost]

Hm. I'll try that

[jovial cobalt]

is it wtc or wtp

wutever

[thorny roost]

Water treatment plant?

[quaint lily]

I just hit both factory and apartment around 6 times each, and only made about 2.1m complete profit

Cwazy

The guns probably make you a lot of money but I'm giving them all to cultist circle except for a G28 that I sold fir 69420 Roubles

[elder bay]

how good are thermals for cultist hunting

for customs

[spiral pecan]

You’re barely gonna see them even with the best ones

They are cold blooded

[elder bay]

talking about the t7

[thorny roost]

they are cold blooded. That means thermals will barely work on them

[spiral pecan]

Still the same

Good way to lose 17 million roubles

[willow tinsel]

normal nods works just fine, they arent that invisible if you actually look for them, sure they can be prone but its not too hard to find them

and they actually makes footstep sounds unlike pre release

[thorny roost]

^

[elder bay]

normal nods?

[willow tinsel]

any nods, GPNVG18's works just fine

[thorny roost]

I'm losing my mind. No partisan on lighthouse

[thorny roost]

Do you have a spare RFID Reader? If so, barter to skier for quads

[willow tinsel]

When i look for them in Customs its as clear as day if i see one or not, Priest lying prone at the most obvious spots most of the times

same goes with Shoreline if they spawn near swamp

proning in the middle of the dam road

[coarse gyro]

what is the key for the gated room at the end of long garage on reserve?

[willow tinsel]

RB ST i believe

[coarse gyro]

thank u

[alpine vigil]

is the good ending savior? idk which one is the best

[thorny roost]

Savior is the "Good" ending, yes

[quaint lily]

Is there a back way that doesn't involve interacting with the double street on streets, getting from chek 13 to abandoned factory? I dont need to know the route, but can I get there without using main street

[thorny roost]

From one marked room to the other?

[quaint lily]

Yeah

[thorny roost]

yes there is

[quaint lily]

Does it involve interacting with lexos?

Nvm your typing

[thorny roost]

No. you'll get close, but you wont interact with it

Theres a side alley on cinema side, by car extract that you can completely skurt lexos with. You'll head over to cardinal and from there go to chek 13

and vice versa

95% of m y streets raids, I never interact with Lexos

[distant obsidian]

have you looked at a map?

[half anvil]

btr stop right outside chek 13 can take you over to the tram or cinema

[thorny roost]

Or this^

[quaint lily]

Oh, I walked all over near cardinal and everything was blocked. I found some brick stairs that led to a scientific room

[distant obsidian]

https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Streets_of_Tarkov?

map.

[thorny roost]

Want me to do a run with you?

[quaint lily]

Sorry Downer, i prefer interacting with people instead of googling it

[quaint lily]

Nah, but since i know there's a way near cardinal I got it

Ill do it tomorrow

[distant obsidian]

how is learning a bad thing

learn how to use a map. Educate yourself

[half anvil]

cardinal is wayyy out of the way if your goal is to go from chek 13 to abandoned factory

[thorny roost]

Not cardinal, sorry. I meant Concordia

[quaint lily]

I just needed a safer way to hit factory key cuz its harder

[thorny roost]

I always get the 2 mixed up

[distant obsidian]

learning how to problem solve and figure things out for yourself is a good thing. Do you need someone to hold you when you take a piss to?

[quaint lily]

Oh idk where that is yet but im assuming just the opposite side of lexos from cardinal

[distant obsidian]

getting other people to solve your own problems doesnt do you any good

learn to use a map

[half anvil]

oh, yeah, if you dont want to take the BTR you can go down past collapsed crane and sparja

[quaint lily]

Yeah I figured, I was just kinda wishing for an alley on cardinal side of the street

[thorny roost]

Concordia is Car exfil side, Cardinal is stylobyte/ mall side

Names are so similar that i get them mixed up

[distant obsidian]

Cardinal has all kinds of alleys around it

[quaint lily]

Yeah that's what i meant, I assume Concordia is on the same side of the map as cinema and lexos

[thorny roost]

Yes

[distant obsidian]

It's no where nearly chek or abandoned

[quaint lily]

That led to abandoned factory , or at least behind the shops on the street its on

I've gotten close but no dice

[distant obsidian]

If you looked at a map. You would know that is wrong

[quaint lily]

@thorny roost thank you

[distant obsidian]

Cardinal is not between chek and factory

[jovial cobalt]

lol

[quaint lily]

I have a feeling going all the way around is gonna help me with more landmarks to

[willow tinsel]

Tyreall be nice to them

[distant obsidian]

Going around what?

[thorny roost]

My pleasure! Streets is a lot of nooks and crannies but its a fun map to run once you learn it

[distant obsidian]

You literally just cross the hwy from sky bridge over to factory

[thorny roost]

GREAT ammo too

[quaint lily]

No, but I frequently ran into it trying to find a safe path from chek 13 to factory that had no combat

[distant obsidian]

Had no combat? It's streets. Scav are everywhere

The least amount of combat is a direct path

[quaint lily]

You're weird.

[distant obsidian]

To to xky bridge, cross the hwy to the grocery store, then go to factory

[quaint lily]

In the rooms?

[distant obsidian]

You want to circle the entire map to avoid combat, when all your going to do is find more

[quaint lily]

I wasn't really looking for ammo, I was hoping for more access cards to get tour done but only found 2 in like 10 opens

[distant obsidian]

This isn't 5th year medical studies. It's literally just using a map and making a path

It's not the complicated

[half anvil]

avoiding approaching lexos from certain angles is smart though, else you get merked by the AGS

[thorny roost]

Not in those rooms but in MVD which is the non mall Kollontay spawn. Then there's terragroup security which is in Cardinal on Stylobyte side. Theres a good ammo room in lexos but its not necessary and then there's Concordia security room in the parking area on concordia. All really good ammo rooms

[distant obsidian]

Yes, avoiding the weapon emplacements is a good idea. Not sure that was necessary to say but here we are

[quaint lily]

It's also not super simple, I was looking for the existence of a specific path

[willow tinsel]

Reserve is nice for that, if you got all the marked room keys for the map that is. And plus Glukhar and his guards might have one on them while you search

[distant obsidian]

Yes and I told you the more direct one

[half anvil]

city centre BTR is a pain because it's juuuuuust outside the firing arc for the one emplacement

[quaint lily]

I don't

[distant obsidian]

It's streets with alleys and courtyards all over. Literally just explore using a map

Learn the main line paths so you can navigate. Then start using alleys

[quaint lily]

I'm not really a fan of reserve tbh

[distant obsidian]

Once again. Use a map

[quaint lily]

Not very fun to me, and very erratic map

[elder bay]

once again use a map

[half anvil]

practice mode?

[distant obsidian]

Like, just use a map

[quaint lily]

Boring

[distant obsidian]

The wiki has like 3 maps for every map.

[half anvil]

sigh

[distant obsidian]

It's like talking to a fucking wall

[quaint lily]

I was hoping it wasn't shown in the map but there's no alleys behind those shops

[distant obsidian]

0 ability to problem solve, 0 willingness to learn, 100 want someone to do everything for them

Everyone here is giving great advice, but you keep taking the shit advice that won't actually help you

[thorny roost]

Bruh.

[quaint lily]

Also, asking and doing it yourself is way more interesting and fun than using Google, and you can't even make the argument that I'm wasting someone's time because they're on discord in the first place

[distant obsidian]

How do these people manage in life?

[thorny roost]

Why are yall so rude?

[elder bay]

lol

[thorny roost]

You didn't have to interact like holy fuck

[distant obsidian]

I wasn't being rude, but they insulted me after helping. What do you expect?

If your going to insult someone, don't expect them to be nice to you.

[elder bay]

no one cares

[thorny roost]

k

[half anvil]

asking for help is one thing, but asking for help and then shooting down multiple suggestions is another

[distant obsidian]

And insulting them for it

[quaint lily]

Like, of course I could just Google everything in this game, and i would never have anyone to learn something with or do something new with them by my side, Google isn't a replacement for another PMC to me

[elder bay]

Sie Hir??

[distant obsidian]

You can't Google everything in this game

What you can do is start to build up your knowledge with learning how to problem solve, then start to apply yourself and when you reach point of struggle, ask specific questions

[elder bay]

lmfao

shut up bro

[simple harness]

I just got nothing but TP in a medical drop is this a nikita funny?

[distant obsidian]

You asked how to go from chek to factory without lexo. I provided you a map. You could have looked at it, thought about it for awhile then asked a specific map relate swuestion

[jovial cobalt]

nikita funny moment ye

[quaint lily]

To be fair, I only specifically asked if there was a path from cardinal to abandoned factory and never got an answer, only alternate advice that contradicted my question

[simple harness]

GOATED

[distant obsidian]

I then would have provided you with the information to travel to sky bridge, cross the hwy a safe distance from lexos, then directly to factory

[half anvil]

i mean i specifically said take the BTR

[quaint lily]

Thank you, I'll do that

[quaint lily]

The BTR interacts with the double street

[half anvil]

.... what

[distant obsidian]

Cardinal is at the top left of the map. Factory in middle right of the map. Once you learn the main roads it becomes a lot easier to decide to to path. Also based on gun shots

[half anvil]

the BTR drives across it with you inside, safe from harm

[west mist]

has anyone beat my challenge?

[willow tinsel]

what challenge
