pve-chat

[willow tinsel]

i dont see why that even keeps happening to people, that is next level thirst of gear

[forest patio]

happened to me

[lone thicket]

your teammates can definitely tk you, i have a youtube short where i was streaming where my buddy killed me on pve

[forest patio]

reporting does nothing so teamkillers just grow in popularity

[lone thicket]

and another youtube short where he accused me of tk'ing him and then realized it was reshalas guard that did the dirty

[sage marsh]

im glad i have a small set of people i play with. if i die my gear comes back to me the next raid

[willow tinsel]

if theyre from this server and you have proof, theyre done for from this server - if its outside this server, well shit

[lone thicket]

i have 1 person lol

[forest patio]

no there is nothing that will be done lmao because the teamkillers know better and use search for group function in game

of course they dont use discord lfg chats

[stiff abyss]

did they buff ammo spawns on labs? i got like 3 20rn boxes of 993, a 100 box of 995, 2 boxes of 855a1, and 2 boxes of 80a1

atleast

[forest patio]

i dont play labs so idk

[willow tinsel]

red keycard or the one close to res unit?

[stiff abyss]

yes

[native osprey]

I imagine accidents happen quite a bit. I don't think I will do the matchmaking though, lol. Can't trust anyone these days haha.

[marsh wing]

#eft-announcements message
gotta be barrel and handguard update

[willow tinsel]

it has been like that for some time, Labs is just generally good if you need NATO rounds

[stiff abyss]

ok

[native osprey]

When do NVGs become available to regularly purchase?

[marsh wing]

which ones

[native osprey]

Any really.
Wouldn't mind if they add flashlights and rails for sale too.
But atm its just whatever pops upu in the Fence.

[marsh wing]

skier ll2 is probably the fastest goggle you can get to

[native osprey]

How long does it usually take to get a trader up to 2?

[marsh wing]

otherwise, prapor sells the NSPU-M scope at ll1

[marsh wing]

what level are you?

[native osprey]

Brand new. Just unlocked customs, lol.

[willow tinsel]

not too long, do your tasks and you should be getting it in no time

[obsidian cradle]

dont need no nvgs just buy 12 flash lights

[forest patio]

dont worry about any of that if you still rely on fence. finish quests to unlock actually good traders

[frozen saddle]

welp, im at the labrys transit, here goes nothing

[native osprey]

I would just use a flashlight, but they don't seem to sail rails so I can attach them haha

[marsh wing]

avoid night time raids until you get to level 15

[willow tinsel]

tell us how it went when ur done!

[marsh wing]

you need level 15 and skier .20 for his ll2

[native osprey]

How is the AI at night?

[frozen saddle]

will do!

[willow tinsel]

if without flashlight and laser pointers, very blind

[marsh wing]

some of them have NVG's, so they can see you.

[forest patio]

better than you most the time because they can still see you at unreasonable distances

[vale atlas]

lol i can never remember the various level requirements/unlock points, it seems to be different on every visit i mmake to the game

Alright boys, where'v we seen the goons today? I gotta go hunt them to move on with the kappa stuff lol

[forest patio]

so is he since he cant buy either

[native osprey]

Should I just be selling stuff, or should I hold onto it for future quests or crafting?

[plush panther]

what's the best use for intel folders?

[forest patio]

check goon tracker

[vale atlas]

Delete this before chek sees

[astral kindle]

Any map where they can spawn

[vale atlas]

its also not super reliable i like going from pure conjecture

[forest patio]

was just updated so...

[spice quail]

I finally got Big Pipe's big launcher.

[vale atlas]

I'll go take a look, but still recommend deleting that, he's around

[spice quail]

He ate 7.62x54R to the base.

[astral kindle]

I'd recommend hunting goons before patch as rotation will most likely be fixed

[vale atlas]

Yup thats the plan lol

[willow tinsel]

Depends on your stash space, are you standard or EOD/Unheard?

[gentle pulsar]

whens it planned to update?

[astral kindle]

Patch tomorrow
#eft-announcements

[gentle pulsar]

okay so ive got a lil time

[willow tinsel]

but id say ggenerally if you just started, sell the stuff to traders till you hit flea market requirements, and even then some items are locked behind levels to trade in flea market

[vale atlas]

Think it was level 25 for keys wasn't it?

or was that marked/keycards

[willow tinsel]

when i started, i sold 90% of all the items i started with, only keeping things im actually using

[vale atlas]

I just know that was the important one lol

[drowsy juniper]

ice breaker tomorrow maybe, copium because 27th march is also when labryinth started

[willow tinsel]

we can prayge

Preliminary roadmap for #EscapefromTarkov for the first half of 2026. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/521645013277474826/1473640144665051311/Roadmap_for_the_first_half_of_2026.jpg?ex=69a81555&is=69a6c3d5&hm=0cbca04fb0f3dbd07596f02014386eadecf210c6d4549dfbad59facab7d1e157&

[stone goblet]

negative

[crystal umbra]

Capturing Outposts on Customs finally done 💀

Now gotta do the same at Woods and Shoreline

[vale atlas]

Bro

You did the hardest one first lmao

[crystal umbra]

I swear I almost never see any PMCs at the Woods scav base. Like I saw them there maybe ONCE lmao

[willow tinsel]

[vale atlas]

I've been blocked by stronghold pmc's for weeks lol

[willow tinsel]

the worst one out of the way

[vale atlas]

Active jealousy

[crystal umbra]

I did it at night, because PMCs seem to have a better chance of actually making it to stronghold during dark, where they won't see and aggro every scav

[vale atlas]

I was trying during the boss event as well, thinking the same principle would work

Didn't help, 2/10 still lol

and only because one time apparently 2 pmc's either spawned in there or right next to it

[crystal umbra]

is the Woods any easier? like I said, swear I never see any on the scav base

[crystal umbra]

I think you need just 8 iirc

[vale atlas]

Woods is a lot easier, there are a few spawn combinations that gets the pmc's to path there

Was the first one i completed

[crystal umbra]

but don't get me wrong, this took me like 10+ raids before they finally made their way there 😄

[vale atlas]

Yeah that tracks lol

[willow tinsel]

Id say so, it didnt take me long, but i was also trying to just exfil any time i went there because i know for a fact that PMC's roam in therre eitheer very early or spawn there

[vale atlas]

Yeah whenever i spawned down by that corner of the map, it took no time at all for pmc's to arrive

Unless it was already full of scavs, but that's going to just be happenstance

[willow tinsel]

i think 2nd worst would be shoreline, it takes some time for PMC's to roam there

[vale atlas]

Yup, though i didn't mind shoreline too much, at least it has direct pmc pathing lol

[willow tinsel]

yea

[vale atlas]

You can even lure the ones attacking smuggler base over just by shooting near them

They get very excitable to chase you up to the building lol

[willow tinsel]

like you KNOW theyll come there eventually, just not when or if they died along the way

[vale atlas]

Yeah i think the last two kills i needed were delayed because smugglers kept getting my boys

The rest of the time, idk, i know scavs are having a good time with pmc's, pmc accuracy seems to fuckin suck when it comes to ai vs ai lol

sigh, time to go farm customs in the hopes of either pmc kills or goons at stronghold

Thoughts and prayers lads, 1 like = 1 goon

[willow tinsel]

Good luck

[lone thicket]

what shoreline health resort keys should i bring with me to make the most dollar bucks?

[vale atlas]

Goons carry proper sized backpacks right?

I'm thinking of going in without one just to speed up getting where i need to lol

[willow tinsel]

not really, birdeye has a backpack but its really tight spaced and not too big

[astral kindle]

No, birdeye is only one with backpack and its heavy and tiny

[vale atlas]

Sigh, nevermind, just more sj6 and 3b'

we gonna zoom boys

[native osprey]

Unheard

[dreamy mantle]

anyone have update notes for whats coming out tomorrow

[willow tinsel]

then yea you could keep some streamer iteems for when you eventually grind for kappa, other than that, good ammo, good plates, sell the rest

[vale atlas]

You got as much info as we have so far, gotta wait for them to appear

[willow tinsel]

mostly good ammo and good plates is what you want to keep, streamer items appear quite often, just not when you actually need them hence why i'd say keep some

[vale atlas]

Also worth looking up and keeping some hideout items, some of them can be a real fuck to stumble across when you actually need them lol

[willow tinsel]

oh yea

[vale atlas]

Fuckin pliers elite and electric drills blocked me for a couple of weeks and they're not even rare lol

[native osprey]

🤔

Thanks for the info guys. I appreciate it. I'm sitting at 250k atm lol

[vale atlas]

Dont worry too much, the longer you stick around the more trivial the cashflow will become

It gets sandboxy later on

[willow tinsel]

yw buddy, welcome to the greener grass

[vale atlas]

just unlcoking certain stuff on flea changes the game entirely lol. Basic materials sell for a wild amount nowadays

[native osprey]

Oh, another question for you guys- any settings I shouldu mess with to make things easier to see? I'm pretty blind lol

If I play scav, I won't get shot at by scavs right?

[vale atlas]

How strong is your computer? easiest thing would be bigger resolution + shittier textures. Can also clear things up with post FX but this gets more complex and specific to you as we go. Worth actively researching the various tips people give out and try them out

[willow tinsel]

not unless you have - rep with fence

[native osprey]

I've got a 12900ks/RTX 3090/64gb DDR5.

[tough pawn]

if you have negative rep there's a certain point where scavs will shoot at you, it's like -4 i think

[vale atlas]

Oh yeah you'll be fine, whack it up to 2k resolution, turn LoD down to 1500-2000, and thats the extent of the tips i remember lol sorry

[willow tinsel]

i was there, because of mark of the unheard -4.84 to be precise

[vale atlas]

-4.8 lmfao

Ouch

[willow tinsel]

i waas grinding bosses and scavs until i realise why my fence rep kept getting worse

[vale atlas]

I wonder how much that would cost in car extracts to fix 😂

[willow tinsel]

and so i asked in here, some gigachad told me i had mark of the unheard on that would obliterate my fence rep everytime i kill a scav or boss

it costed me a few thousands for car exfils

[vale atlas]

Oh ofc thats the one that makes them think you're friendly

I forgot there was an armband that actually did something lol

[tough pawn]

armbands do something?

[vale atlas]

wait no its not an armband it goes in the special slot doesn't it

[willow tinsel]

style points

but no, its a spec item yea

[tough pawn]

two levels away from being able to buy predator

[vale atlas]

There was a brief time where people misinformed eacchother (confirmation bias stuff) like the loot armband giving you better RNG etc lol

It was entirely bullshit but yeah this threw me i was just remembering wrong lol

[hazy moss]

5 roubles says that the scar is gonna get nerfed to shit in 1.0.4

[vale atlas]

You never know we might get the next wave of ergo/component changes that brings everything back to feeling decent

Dont fight it, let me have my brief hopium

[tough pawn]

bsg likes to take away everything that makes people happy so i wouldn't be surprised

[hazy moss]

im only saying that because of how good 1.0.3 made it 😭

[sweet thistle]

The black mdr needs a buff to its recoil gun just jumps to much

[astral kindle]

You're building it wrong then

[hazy moss]

black MDR is fine

genuinely just aim better 😭

or run a DMR if you cant handle the recoil

[verbal night]

so.... wonder what the patch is

[astral kindle]

??roadmap

[quasi apex]

Preliminary roadmap for #EscapefromTarkov for the first half of 2026. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/521645013277474826/1473640144665051311/Roadmap_for_the_first_half_of_2026.jpg?ex=69a81555&is=69a6c3d5&hm=0cbca04fb0f3dbd07596f02014386eadecf210c6d4549dfbad59facab7d1e157&

[charred perch]

Guys, there is any good reason to use MULE instead of OBdolbos 2? They stack?

[toxic patio]

oh shit, what's the new patch?

[toxic patio]

well oldolbos 2 fucking kills you

[willow tinsel]

it doesnt, only obddolbos 1 no?

[thorn roost]

goons are on customs

[meager coyote]

Whichever the green one is, that one is bad

[toxic patio]

health regeneration -1 for 18000 sec lmao

it does kill you slowly

[vale atlas]

yeah i thought odolbos 2 was the good one

Oh, nvm

[meager coyote]

So does mule, but it lasts shorter

[toxic patio]

Mule's health regen debuff is 0.1...

[meager coyote]

It still kills u slowly

[toxic patio]

Green Oldolbos has 25!% chance to kill you
Red Olddobolbos basically poisions you without any way to cure it

and mule is countered by a propitol

so is dolbos 2, but dolbos 2 is just

idk, nuking stamina recovery, max stamina, and taking enough damage to kill you over time

is just not worth it

you can get those stats from other, safer stims too.

[echo hamlet]

is big pipe bugged to not spawn?

[drowsy juniper]

No

[echo hamlet]

ive killed the other goons 3 times this week and havent seen him

[native osprey]

Wouldn't LOD make it so I can't see people far away?

[meager coyote]

So is the obdol whatever its called, propital is 1hp/s so it counters that too. But either way I hate the obdob stim and just use mules like a normal person

[toxic patio]

Meldonin + 3btg gives you all the benefits of an oldolbos 2, sans the weight buff.

[astral kindle]

Hes spawning allright, killed goons 4 times this week

[echo hamlet]

uhhh nevermind

found him

[willow tinsel]

died by PMC?

[raw nest]

Goons don’t rotate

[hasty pumice]

Can you do Scav runs with a friend on PVE?

[toxic patio]

Dolbos 2 is good on one map and one map only

[thorn roost]

i thought they set that in stone with 1.0

[toxic patio]

labs.

[raw nest]

Yes

[marsh wing]

console tarkov when?

[vale atlas]

Not exactly, its more the terrain/leaves/grass and stuff. Its already way higher than necessary you dont need to be rendering things on the other side of hte map

Adjust to taste

[willow tinsel]

Tetris on console

[vale atlas]

it'll make seeing through trees/leaves a bit tougher as things can get blocky, but its overall cleaner and easier to spot things like pmc's that stand out comparatively

[reef furnace]

Bro what the fuck is going on an SP-5's op as shit blunt multiplier

I have to test this shit

[vale atlas]

sp5 is... good?

[merry sigil]

What would be best map/environment to do the Fence task where you have to kill 7 PMCs without killing a single scav? Read that people do Reserve, lay on top of the dome and snipe for PMCs

[reef furnace]

I been getting bodied with thorax shots by the AI using SP-5 while using tier 6/5 plates

No neck shots, just thorax shots...

[vale atlas]

I did it on factory, easiest reset and you can just run from the scavs, their aim sucks

[merry sigil]

Also, do we have changelog for tomorrow already or is it going to be a surprise? 😄

[willow tinsel]

i did mine on GZ

[native osprey]

Big update tomorrow?

[merry sigil]

Gotcha! Might give that a try

[tough pawn]

mate i'm completely out of ammo and there's 5 raiders

[vale atlas]

Full bursts? ai accuracy is something lol. and val is what 900rpm?

[tough pawn]

they

[vale atlas]

Our armour works by different rules than theirs it feels lol

[tough pawn]

they're tossing nades

[reef furnace]

Full bursts, like I get shot a few times and they already got my thorax red/yellow

[vale atlas]

Its time to level melee, i believe in you

[weary ice]

just run bro 😭

[merry sigil]

I would be happy if enemy shot for my center mass, but I get one tapped into the head,jaws area the whole time when I die 😄

[tough pawn]

i'm in the room where you activate parking gate

[vale atlas]

Hmm, it might not be interacting properly with the damage gates (plates/hitting arms first etc)

[lethal garnet]

just smack scavs with your arena sword

[tough pawn]

i'm gonna swing out, NOT get head naped, and grab the sks off the raider

[reef furnace]

Happens all the time, scavs, pmcs, anything using 9x39

[marsh wing]

butch no longer mod?!?!

[vale atlas]

I have noticed Val and other 9x39 stuff hurting fucking a lot before lol

[charred perch]

It increases endurance, the stamina debuff is partially countered by it. Also, if you consider the strengh buff + weight limit it is stronger than Mule. The bad part is the stamina recovery debuff, but you can use another stim to counter it too

[vale atlas]

just didn't connect it to sp5

[merry sigil]

Btw, what do y'all think about the Osprey MK4A (Protection variant)?

[reef furnace]

I just got my torso and plates destroyed by Gus using SP-5

[lethal garnet]

why is my name this

[reef furnace]

A few shots and I my tier 6 gac plate got destroyed and passed through the tier 3 soft armor

[vale atlas]

I'm gonna keep my eye out for this, if i can survive anyway, check the ammo lol

[lethal garnet]

i cant get in trouble if i didnt do it

[reef furnace]

Did on the death screen

[marsh wing]

i used it. But its been recommended to swap to something like the 6B45 emr or one

[vale atlas]

Oh ofc lol, i forgot that was a thing

[marsh wing]

@distant obsidian Butch is no longer a mod

[willow tinsel]

its alright, not a big fan, but thats just me

[vale atlas]

Excellent no need to survive then

I'm gonna have to see what other ammo they're smacking us with

[merry sigil]

Why's that?

[merry sigil]

which variant?

[marsh wing]

any of them, i think prapor sells them. The armored rigs, not just the armor

[vale atlas]

isnt the osprey quite a heavy/-ergo one?

I struggle with things and names

[merry sigil]

This one? 6B45 armored rig (Assault, EMR)

[charred perch]

Also, If I use a2a, mule and obdolbos 2 all at the same time, their weight limit effects stacks? Or just the highest one counts?

[merry sigil]

Yeah, quite a heavy one indeed

[marsh wing]

there are two variants, one has 2 3x1's i think

[vale atlas]

That'll be the main reason to avoid lol. I remember other heavy ones having better coverage?

[merry sigil]

3 apparently 😄 medic general and assault 😄

[willow tinsel]

i think it came down to arm protection thaat hid my armband

[vale atlas]

I myself prefer to go in light nowadays, speed is king due to all the quests that require us rushing to a place to hopefully find PMC's lol

[merry sigil]

none of them have 2 3x1, the medic one has a 4x1 2 2x1 and 1 2x2 and 4 1x1

[vale atlas]

and the ai likes to delete us regardless of armour.

[marsh wing]

then it may be the osprey im thinking of that has it

[merry sigil]

yeah, osprey has 2 3x1 which is why i used it due to 45 round mag for nl545

[marsh wing]

but i prefer to use the Gen4 armor and an Alpha rig. I like my arm protection

[willow tinsel]

yea, if i actually really ran full protection id go gen4 too

[vale atlas]

Yeah wasn't one of the simpler/lighter rigs only needing 2 plates but it was secretly giving basically full coverage

There was some kind of interaction between it and the default layers that acted as a damage gate but they might have patched that out

[willow tinsel]

but other than that, CPC Mod1 suffices for me atleast

[marsh wing]

Gen4 is locked behind the Sew It Good questline and Ragman LL4 though

[merry sigil]

makes sense - i have used the redut-t5 quite a bit

with the alpha

[marsh wing]

i plan to probably swap to the full version once i get more strength and endurance

[willow tinsel]

I used it on Terminal, worked wonders

[marsh wing]

i just got so tired of my arms getting blacked when using 6b45 so i needed something with arm protection

my arms are always the first thing to black, and its usually like instantly too

my arms black like 60% less now with Gen4

[toxic patio]

yeah but if your'e just stacking stims just slam a meldonin + mule

[merry sigil]

so you'd recommend alpha rig plus gen 4?

[toxic patio]

big fan of the reduit

[distant obsidian]

@rare field surely icebreaker tomorrow

[vale atlas]

What was the new 5.56 mag meta, i vaguely remember the pmag 60 not having the benefits it used to. Would i want the stanag or mag5 now? i wasn't paying attention when everyone was talking about it lol

[merry sigil]

yeah, works wonders too

[marsh wing]

its what i use

@lethal garnet

[toxic patio]

but my go to armor is either the osprey or the 6b45

[merry sigil]

if 30 rounders then pmag 3s without the clear window in it

[vale atlas]

wait there isnt a 50 round stanag lol

[toxic patio]

i just like armored rigs

Korund Black is also good

[vale atlas]

ah i'm g oing goon hunting so out of character taking bigger mags lol

usually i would use the clear gen m3's

[lethal garnet]

what

[marsh wing]

nah, its just gonna be hanguards and barrels

[lethal garnet]

[merry sigil]

clear gen m3s dont have the good modifiers anymore sadly, so the regular m3s are better actually - interesting enough

[marsh wing]

nothing, i just wanted to ping a mod for once

[charred perch]

Big fan of 6b45 too, dont protect my jewels but soft armor level 3 is nice

[vale atlas]

But other than that, the bigger mags haven't really changed notably? i can just throw on the pmag60s and not be an idiot?

[lethal garnet]

im not a mod, but butch the mod is

[merry sigil]

didnt they change that the bigger mags have less penalty now?

[lethal garnet]

🌈

[vale atlas]

I'm not too concerned about overswing i'm not trying to cod 360 noscope the goons lol

[marsh wing]

@jovial cobalt we can ping Butch now

[vale atlas]

oh wait they got better? nice

[merry sigil]

just mag dump the goons with 60 rounds of ssa ap 😄

[charred perch]

Are you talking about killing bosses or general stuff? I personally prefer 30 round mags for the extra ergo on them. Just use the big ones when I go near boss areas

[vale atlas]

That was the plan but there have been recent complaints about ssa ap not quite working as intended pen-wise

[merry sigil]

ran into the trio with my 12g mp-155 and on slug, got all three of them 😄

[jovial cobalt]

@lethal garnet butch

[vale atlas]

Goon hunting, so taking in big enough mags not to be fucked if they all rush at once lol

otherwise i'd just use the regular 30s, i'm usually a single fire facetapper

[charred perch]

yeah, to kill this morons big mags are necessary

[merry sigil]

i noticed that ssa ap doesn't work as well against lightly or no armored targets

[lethal garnet]

[charred perch]

early today I had a stroke of luck and kill them with a FN5-7, but they probably have a stroke on that raid

[vale atlas]

I think the person i saw complaining was going on about labrynth megatagilla so could also just be a skill issue

I have a fuckload of ssa ap anyway so cant hurt to try

Thanks smuggler event ❤️

[merry sigil]

i need more ... still annoyed about smuggler event just ending.

was focusing on the wrong thing

[marsh wing]

im glad i farmed all those keys

[charred perch]

I cant stack enought weapons boxes on the smugglers, didnt have too much time to play
Still have like 10 to open, but if I know that it will last only a week I would spam more streets and reserve to get the boxes on the marked rooms

[vale atlas]

Oh yeah most people wanted the cultist keys lol, or spent time actually doing the quests (weirdos)

[willow tinsel]

glad i did both farming keys and opening marked room

[vale atlas]

I used it as an excuse to work through all my stashed 314 keys lol

[merry sigil]

same

[vale atlas]

Guaranteed weapon cases, fast extract, it was great ❤️

[native osprey]

If I do a practice raid, can I just exit out of it or will I lose gear without extracting?

[marsh wing]

yes

[rapid kettle]

anyone down to squad up later? im fairly new to the game, Ive got about 150 hours so far at level 32

[toxic patio]

puitting 500 shells throughh a shotgun to train troubleshooting

[marsh wing]

no gear loss on practices

[vale atlas]

Practice raids are basically like you never risked anything, your progress isn't

[charred perch]

No penalties

[native osprey]

I know it was probably a dumb question, but thank you for answering haha

[vale atlas]

You're just going in with a "Copy" of your character

[fervent peak]

Give #pve-lfg a try, plenty of folk ready to game there

[marsh wing]

it can affect certain tasks/story tho

i dont know which ones or why, but ive heard of it happening

[rapid kettle]

much thank ya

[vale atlas]

Oh lmao yeah thats true, you can fuck yourself with some quests that require you to do transits, or not kill certain things etc

[charred perch]

really? I see the tasks being completed, but the moment I leave the radi they reset

[vale atlas]

Yeah it messes with a handful of them, not all

[marsh wing]

ive never had it happen personally, but ive seen it happen to others

[vale atlas]

spaghetti code issues lol

[fervent peak]

If nothing resets when you're doing a practice raid, that's worth a bug report

[native osprey]

Should I be using BSG servers for PVE? I've just been doing it locally. Any benefits to either?

[fervent peak]

If your PC is absolute doo doo, bsg servers. It'll create the instance locally, which your PC may or may not be able to handle

[prime trellis]

no queue and it's hosted on your pc for local, bsg if your pc is weaker and can't handle the extra load

[native osprey]

I'll take a look at my usage next raid. Haven't seen any issues though.

[vale atlas]

You have a strong enough computer that local wont be an issue

I'm on a 3080ti and i9 12900, a bit weaker than yours and local runs fine

BSG is better if you're on more of a potato

As you dont have to do all the pathing calculations for ai, its handled on the servers

[native osprey]

When you play coop, do you have to use the BSG servers?

[jovial cobalt]

ye

[vale atlas]

I think so yeah, not sure if this is peer to peer

[fervent peak]

I was doing fine locally on a 1060ti and i7-5820k, but streets was a no go, unless 32gb ram. Lowest possible settings though

[vale atlas]

1060's are secretly very good though lol

[native osprey]

Is streets the most intensive level?

[willow tinsel]

1060

holy ancient

[vale atlas]

People were after them for bitcoin farming back in the day lol

punched above their weight for some reason or another

wait that might have been 1660 nevermind

[willow tinsel]

what are you running now?

[native osprey]

Are you guys using any Post FX?

[fervent peak]

9070XT with a Ryzen 7 7700x

[willow tinsel]

I am, but nothinng too game changing in visuals

[toxic patio]

i shit you not

[willow tinsel]

[toxic patio]

i hit 314 to see if it was that bad

the only thing in the room. was a single fucking tac-x.

[fervent peak]

3 generation jump

[willow tinsel]

i think, the shittiest GPU i ever ran Tarkov on, was a GTX 660

that shit was brutal

[frozen saddle]

im back after three attempts! the 3rd went great (the first two did not.)

[willow tinsel]

Oh shit, 3rd time is the charm

[native osprey]

Does it matter if I'm playing PMC or Scav for Missions?

Getting building materials from Customs for example.

[astral kindle]

Fence daily? Yes it matters

[toxic patio]

for fir collection missions, no

most missions you cannot do on a scav

[willow tinsel]

if its just collect X stuff fir it doesnt matter

[native osprey]

👍

[vale atlas]

Radian charging handle was the expensive one wasn't it lol?

[willow tinsel]

Unless it tells you find X in raid, then hand it over, it matters i believe, dont count me on that though, never bothered doing quests on scav

[astral kindle]

Depends of color

[tidal flame]

Model 1 parts generally flea for stupid prices

dunno if anyone's actually buying them, but hey

[wild dock]

Why does the command bunker extract sometimes not extract you with the button timer before the sliding armored wall and makes you have to walk past it to the actual door behind it? 👀

[tidal flame]

it's an ancient bug that remains unfixed

you can kinda get it to at least consistenly show on your screen by mashing F and holding perfectly still in front of the button

[wild dock]

Oh lol, I just push it once and it pops up everytime, although lately it's been hit or miss if it actually extracts me

It was so consistent that at first I thought it was a "feature"

[tidal flame]

🍝

[vale atlas]

I just had a 314 room that was entirely empty, except for the invisible bitcoins hiding in the chair in the corner lol

Make sure you run up to that if it looks like a shit room

[willow tinsel]

you better believe i scour every corner if i see absolutely nothing the moment i open that door

[vale atlas]

I used to just leave but now thats gonna change

i enjoy bitcoin

[reef furnace]

Excuse me wtf
#screenshots message

[willow tinsel]

for THAT exact reason

[jaunty rock]

i just got kiva helmet

vida*

[vale atlas]

You can get others full of vaseline, i think nikita is trying to tell us something

The rocket launcher crates are my favourite ❤️

[reef furnace]

Been seeing them a lot in yt but never got one

[vale atlas]

I stopped going for them, its always loot i dont care about. Only had one rpg crate but also had a shit backpack at the time lol

[native osprey]

I was playing as scav and one just attacked me randomly?

[willow tinsel]

did you accidently shoot at one before that

[native osprey]

Nope

Lost faction standing because of it too.

Little annoying..

[fervent peak]

What map, and were you going near a boss?

Scav guards will always give you warning shots/gestures before icing you

[tiny axle]

I had it countdown in front of the door, when it hit 0 nothing happened so I walked in then it did the actual countdown lol

[vale atlas]

I always thought scavs attacking me meant they were "player scavs"

But i've never seen a difference in scav behaviour talked about based on that so thinking about it probably nonsense lol. I try to just follow from a distance instead nowadays

[tiny axle]

Sometimes guards and bosses won't make a sound or notice you until you're too close already so its just bad luck.

[cursive summit]

Oh boy I sure do love aiming, I said as my fps drops to 2 and I get shot 57 times by killa

[native osprey]

I was on custom by a gas station. He flipped me off then started shooting lol.

I'm guessing that was a 'boss'.

[fallen mason]

Yeah, a boss guard

[vale atlas]

Tracks lol

[native osprey]

I found a gold Tokarev. Neat.

[willow tinsel]

that indeed was Reshala and his buddies

and you just found his sidearm

[native osprey]

😎

The gold Tokarev worth keeping to sell in the fleemarket or just sell it to the vender?

[vale atlas]

Has anyone tried waiting outside of stronghold, to see if that encourages pmc's to path that way?

Seems impossible to get them to walk in if i'm there already lol

[willow tinsel]

i wait on top of stronghold, kill scavs in the meantime and avoid being seen by PMC's to not break their pathing if i see a couple going on their way to stronghold

They have 2 scenarios happen, if they injure you enough theyll try to push in, or they start camping until timer deaggros them

like must have been the wind kind of thing

[cursive summit]

Needed for quest, other than that, sell it if you dont want it, in vendors not worth anything even on the flea

[vale atlas]

Yeah i've noticed them doing that, downside is sitting there doing nothing is incredibly boring, and ofc the moment you look, thats when pmc's see you lol

[willow tinsel]

i actually went to youtube and watched that japanese guy saing dont give up while i was doing that quest on repeat no joke

while sitting in stronghold

[vale atlas]

Yeah i'm not far from spending a few days just sitting here watching movies in the hopes something will path there near the start or end of a raid lol

I'd ignore it but i actively use 9x39

[turbid talon]

How much is one bullet of snb worth if I could trade rubles for it?

[vale atlas]

Is that the 50+ pen one?

[turbid talon]

Yes

[fervent peak]

Note for the future, if you want to be on neutral terms with bosses and guards, you need 6.0 scav rep
Refer to the following wiki page for more info: https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Scavs

[vale atlas]

Probably 1000 per round or something

Thats generally been the price of high tier ammo that i've paid attention to

[turbid talon]

How about BS?

[native osprey]

Man, left side peaking is a PITA, even with your gun moved over. Feel like you have to get through the whole doorway before you can engage, lol

[turbid talon]

70 pen

[fervent peak]

The game favours right hand peaks in most situations

[hazy moss]

pretty sure guards dont emote

[manic lance]

do we get patch notes with this update?

[astral kindle]

Once update starts

[hazy moss]

oh every message just loaded at once

[fervent peak]

They will emote if it's a warning, typically either a 'come here, 'point in a direction' or a flip off

Then pew pew pew

[hazy moss]

was he a scav

#pve-chat message

[regal valve]

i cant seem to get raiders to spawn getting really tired of this. d2, hermatic bunker door, waiting for train. 3 hours wasted

[fervent peak]

For bunker, you really do need to rush as soon as possible, they'll die to PMCs just as often as scavs
For the rest... good luck 😄

[regal valve]

they always killing pmcs whenever i see them doing shit, but they just are not spawning, no bodies no nothin

[fervent peak]

Well, go pull the lever again. Complaining here won't kill raiders 😛

[regal valve]

waiting for next match lol

im just tired of magical men i need to kill not being around 😭

[azure canopy]

if anyone can list the EMR zhuks and the vulkan helmets on the flea i want to buy them

[keen bridge]

Unfortunately not

[drowsy juniper]

There is also the barter for vulkans

[azure canopy]

one every 4 hours yeah

[drowsy juniper]

[keen bridge]

Can you even list em? Vulcan is lvl 6

[azure canopy]

yea i bought the flea dry

[drowsy juniper]

its 5

[keen bridge]

So you can buy em?

wtf

Also why?

[drowsy juniper]

skier quest most likely

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

[keen bridge]

Thank you

[azure canopy]

i need 6 more zhuks

and i dont want to grind arena dailies

[empty axle]

Why are there air drops full of toilet rolls dropping?

[vale atlas]

Dont forget the ones full of vaseline and rocket launchers

[empty axle]

Ive seen 2 both was toilet papper

[vale atlas]

Oh you're in for a treat

[empty axle]

great

[willow tinsel]

2020 Special Edition airdrop

[tiny axle]

Because it's funny

Free air drop so silly

[stiff scaffold]

praying the patch tomorrow does wonders

[soft copper]

When did airdrops spawn in pve? This is the first time I've ever seen one that I haven't called in

[willow tinsel]

been going on for almost a week now or so

actually

since smuggler event ended, because thats where i saw my first airdrop, the night just before smuggler ended

[vale atlas]

Sitting here praying the pmc's win whatever gunfight they're having and make it to stronghold ❤️

[willow tinsel]

first airdrop i got 2 sealed weapon crates, then event ended and people got stuff like vaseline and whatnot

[vale atlas]

They're 100% atm for X reason

feels more like a bug than a feature but they've made weird choices before lol

[fervent peak]

I have an assumption air drops will be gone after this next patch. But the free rockets were neat for a time

[vale atlas]

Yeah, considering they go for 500k a pop and have a buy limit. it was fun to have an excuse to waste a load of them

Jesus i think the sniper scav just killed the pmc's i was waiting on

[native osprey]

How long does it take for gift on the website to show up in my account? It's the one with the food cooler and a DMR.

[vale atlas]

Close game, open again

[distant obsidian]

[vale atlas]

wait just check messages should be in there

[native osprey]

Not showing up in my inventory or my messages. Restarted the game a few times, launcher as well.

[vale atlas]

if not, restart, then it should be lol

Oh, could be the site being fucked, people having issues with authentication stuff and password resets too

this capturing outposts shit is going to make me put the game down lmao

[native osprey]

So it'll just take some time or should I like.. file a ticket or something?

[vale atlas]

I'd give it some time, there's been delayed payouts for this stuff before

If it hasn't turned up by tomorrow worth opening the ticket

[native osprey]

Thanks! 🙂

[vale atlas]

A pmc just arrived in stronghold! Its been so long

3/8 unless i'm hallucinating

Some kind of cyrillic oasis

[native osprey]

Do you have a mission to kill PMCs in stronghold or something?>

btw, do you lose armbands when you die? Got one from the discord thing and my game version.

[manic lance]

no

[native osprey]

ty 🙂

[manic lance]

armbands melee and anything in special slots or in pouch slot

[vale atlas]

Yup, there's a later mission that requires you to kill 8 pmc's in specific locations, one of those locations the PMC's rarely path to and will not push into if they see you there

Its for lack of a better term

[native osprey]

Oof. That sounds horrible.

[vale atlas]

a real fuck

[manic lance]

you can goad them in just takes effort and nades

[native osprey]

I'm guessing that mission was designed more around the idea of player PMCs? lol

[spiral pecan]

Yes

[vale atlas]

All of them were really, pve doesn't get much thought

[lethal garnet]

thank you!!

[jaunty rock]

man

firts time i get vida on my hands, but sadly i headtapped killa so, no 100% dura

[manic lance]

play stupid games, win stupid prizes

[tacit latch]

what do you guys reccomend for the quest setup, im level 18 with my only level 2 trader being peacekeeper. i was thinking the break action rifle but im not sure

[manic lance]

what is setup again?

[dark zealot]

Shotgun with ushanka and scav vest

[manic lance]

oh what is it the MP-153

my "goto" shotgun for sure

[dark zealot]

Any of the mp series

So the mp-18 also works which is what a lot of people use in combo with a 153

[manic lance]

just use a semi shotgun NOT a pump action

pumps suck ass

[willow tinsel]

I see a New Vegas enjoyer

[tacit latch]

indeed

[willow tinsel]

[tacit latch]

i sent my mp - 153 stats in the screenshots, anyone wanna see if that looks good.

[tacit latch]

what shell would you reccomend for killing PMCs, im usually good at hitting face shots but i dont use shottys much so ill be a little off my game.

i can use anything at jaeger level 1

[fervent peak]

7mm and aim at their legs

Legs ain't armoured, just knaw em off

[tacit latch]

how many shots should i need per pmc if you know

i got a 5 round tube since a 6 rounder added like an extra kilo

[fervent peak]

Depends on pellet spread, 2-4

IF every pellet lands, they just keel over

[tacit latch]

oh sick

i guess ill give this a try, wish me luck

[fervent peak]

Sorry 2 - 4, not enough flesh in one shell's worth of projectiles

[dark zealot]

Yea you’ll need a few shots.

[fervent peak]

Only Magnum has a chance at a one shot

[dark zealot]

On PvP I like going factory with a double barrel full of magnum, and then double tapping pmc legs for insta kills.

It is the funniest way to kill a PMC on PvP

[tacit latch]

i have done the double barrel a few times, got teguila to run away from a double tap to the back of the head, no idea how he didnt die from magnum

was in the east staircase betwen floor 3 and 2 and i ran towards the gate 3 to leave.

[dark zealot]

He’s just built different

[tacit latch]

a while ago before 1.0 me and a buddy were on factory with pistols. and i had the machine glock with a drum and i unloaded into the back of his head, i emptied the whole drum and he didnt die, then i got smashed. he bled out and my buddy took the loot from him

wish me luck im loading in, ill tell yall how it goes

[tacit latch]

😮‍💨 no PMCs just reshala guards at fortress took my right arm twice, had to leave before i was finished off.

[manic lance]

i dont use slugs. i like pellets, flechette is 25 damage x8 pellets. piranha is my go to though with 25x10

[pseudo kayak]

slap a 6x scope on a 153, load up with coppers and say fuck MOA

[manic lance]

slugs just suck IMO

[tacit latch]

i wish i could get flechette or piranha, but im only level 1 jaeger, so i gotta deal with the garbage shit.

[trail sail]

slug needs a buff with better pen

[manic lance]

what do you have access to?

[pseudo kayak]

idk i just find it funny when you snipe w the 153 at over like 100m

[manic lance]

if you have to use a slug then super performance is great

@tacit latch can you get magnum?

[native osprey]

Well, met my first Tagilla in Factory. He basically just ran up on me and killed me with an axe or something. lol

I thought the game was bugged because I was shooting him and he wasn't dying. RIP.

[tacit latch]

no sadly, its on level 2 jaeger and i only got level 1. im gonna try a different quest for now till i have more stuff unlocked

[native osprey]

Is Tagilla always there or is it a random spawn?

[willow tinsel]

its something along the lines of 75% spawn for bosses at their given map

[peak coral]

has anyone found the targrad tales disc

[willow tinsel]

isnt that an event item

[peak coral]

hes wearing a lvl 5 helmet

[peak coral]

yeah but i saw some ppl post they have found it in 1.0 and unsure if its been patched out yet or not

i want one just to fill the slot in my hideout lol

[willow tinsel]

that has to be ultra rare

if thats true

[marsh wing]

there are a few instances of people finding them. Im not sure where they are finding them at. Just like people are still finding ornaments

[charred perch]

Birdeye just killed me on Shoreline. If anyone are hunting the goons

[marsh wing]

they arent rotating as far as we know. For the last month they have been spawning on all maps

[charred perch]

Ooh, gotcha

Early today someone asked where they are spawning

[marsh wing]

aka, they can be on any of your maps at anytime

[charred perch]

I personally hate this rotation for them

[cobalt haven]

??event

[quasi apex]

There are no ongoing events at this time.

[pseudo kayak]

If I failed 'Kind of Sabotage' (Hand over item 0052 to Skier) can I still get Kappa?

[whole birch]

can anyone tell me how tf im suppossed to find virtexes/vpxs/cofdms with this loot nerf? i spent 40m checking every box on lh and all were empty

[willow tinsel]

PKPTS

[charred perch]

This is the kind of loot that I put on a scav box from day one of playing. When I need one Find in Raid I usually just have it hoarded

[willow tinsel]

All the things you just mentioned, spawns regularly there

[charred perch]

Kind of Sabotage isnt required, just the following quests

[whole birch]

I'm LVL 41 and havent found one yet.. I've only seen a COFDM in 314 Marked

[native osprey]

Tagilla was just waiting at the medical evac for me lmao. Walked in, got merced.

[charred perch]

Labs have a lot of rare loot too, but lvl 41 and not find a single one is a really bad luck... Last week my friend and I farmed like 3 or 4 COFDM in two days that he needs to something

[native osprey]

Not particularly fun... especially when I have no idea where I'm going in factory, lol

[pseudo kayak]

It weirdly shows up on the checklist same w Sadist and Colleagues pt 3, just in general if you fail it does it count as completed?

[whole birch]

im just not finding anything that is primarily loose loot, ive been to labs a boatload and havent seen the lab exclusive hideout parts yet, keep in mind i have every keycard

[charred perch]

Sadist and Colleagues also arent required, but the following quests are

this quests that fails when you succeed another dont block you from getting Kappa\

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

[willow tinsel]

trust when i say so, i have a spare of 23 VPX, 14 Virtex, a few COFDM from PKPTS after selling what would be a whole scaav case filled with them

[whole birch]

going rn if you're lying curse your grandma

[charred perch]

https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Colleagues_-_Part_3

If you check the wiki you can confirm that this quests arent required

[willow tinsel]

You can believe me and get your stuff with 20 use keys, or you can struggle to find a few in labs from keycards

up to you, im just giving advice

[charred perch]

In the start of the 1.0 PKPTS was insane. Saw some videos, 3 COFDM, 2 VPX in a single raid there. The loot still spanw, but not like this anymore

[distant obsidian]

what are we talking about?

[willow tinsel]

its still his best bet

Where elsee would you rather go and find COFDMS and Virtex if not for labs keycards or PKPTS, enlighten me

[distant obsidian]

your moms house

but yeah pts is the best

[whole birch]

you used to go around lighthouse looking in every damaged box, they would even spawn bitcoins

[fervent peak]

Damn, my mom is a radio technician? I wish I knew this sooner

[willow tinsel]

See, you used to do that after release, but we're in 2026 and stuff has changed

[distant obsidian]

😄

[cobalt karma]

i finally did it, i killed glukhar with the mounted grenade launcher on dome

[fervent drift]

Smoke balaclava from rogues on my first game of lighthouse. Kappa obtained yipeee

[whole birch]

i also cannot find my second dcleaner for the life of me

[finite tide]

whats the quickest way to raise scav rep

[whole birch]

car and coop imo

[finite tide]

how do you do coop in pve?

[willow tinsel]

kill PMC's that tagged or killed scavs, transit do the same, rinse and repeat, or spam car extracts on every map as a PMC

[whole birch]

bait with shots and voicelines try not to die, works well on interchange and streets

[native osprey]

If I accidently kill a scav as a scav, should I just exit at that point so I don't ruuin my rep?

[willow tinsel]

yea

either die or extract

either way, that scav you killed, will decrease rep

but its better than be chased around and kill a few more

[rare idol]

do yall think the patch is an event or nah?

[willow tinsel]

[fervent peak]

If we knew if it was, you'd see the excitement of chat going nuts

But alas, we are kept in the dark, as is tradition

[finite tide]

scav rep decreases as a pmc?

[willow tinsel]

no, thee only way that would happen is if you have mark of the unheard special item on

[fervent peak]

Do not have the 'Mark of the Unheard' on you as a pmc

[willow tinsel]

Im saying as a scav killing another scav

[fervent peak]

That item is such bait...

[willow tinsel]

truly the most useless item in the game

Ill never forget that -4.84 rep for having it on

[gusty reef]

I accidentally tanked my rep with it last week lol

still recovering

[willow tinsel]

Do you know how many transits i did to get that rep up to +7

I was living on GZ and Streets as a scav

[cobalt karma]

can pve prestige yet

[peak coral]

no

[thorny roost]

That's not till later in the year. No specified date at the moment

[peak coral]

do every car extract 5 times and spam transits, do your scav dailies from fence and kill pmcs that have killed scavs as a scav

[finite tide]

i ihave no idea what that is

[willow tinsel]

one scav run transiting about 3 times between two maps would net me about 0.30+ fence rep

[astral kindle]

Special slot item, looks like walkie talkie

[thorny roost]

Depending on what edition of the game you have, you get it right away, or its a very late game item

Basically makes your PMC a scav

[astral kindle]

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

[fervent peak]

Do not use it, do not even bring it near your character

It does NOTHING for you, other than attempt to make scavs 'friendlier' to you as a pmc

[heady cosmos]

Any ideas what's in tomorrow's update?

[fervent peak]

Nobody will know unless you're an inside leaker

Not to be negative, or stop convo, but nobody will know other than speculate

[pseudo kayak]

what's the speculation then

[fervent peak]

My speculation is them removing air drops, and some other random improvements, maybe the next pass of gun parts

[pseudo kayak]

my speculation is evil jirachi event for no reason

nah, im thinking this is the 2nd half of the attachment update

im standard

[twin sundial]

why all this fiddling with attachments lately

[finite tide]

its been a while since unlocked light keeper whats required to unlock him cause theres a site telling me i need to do bullshit but i dont remember doing that to unlock him

[fervent peak]

Meta shake up, more or less. A lot of parts just never got used, unless you were adamant in using them for RP or drip reasons

Now it's more for variety and less, this has better recoil, I'ma use that

[distant obsidian]

I hope tomorrow is pt2 patch

[fervent peak]

Course, you'll stay have some state of meta around this, but you won't have the absolute laser beams you're used to

[distant obsidian]

No they are not

[twin sundial]

oh okay i guess i made it up

[distant obsidian]

Yes you did

[vagrant folio]

Anyone use Val's in PvE or is the mag size/jamming not viable?

[distant obsidian]

A former bsg dev is making a new game

Fuck the Val

[astral kindle]

Its not confirmed anywhere yet but plenty of BSG people are following the account

[cobalt karma]

no that’s not even close to what it does

it makes scavs not target you from more than 60 meters away, and makes you lose rep for killing them

[twin sundial]

pretty sure nikita is making a sci fi tarkov sequel

[distant obsidian]

It's a former dev.

[twin sundial]

someone should probably update the games press if that isn’t so

stop being so fucking stuipid please

[fervent peak]

Correct, it's SKY blue.

[distant obsidian]

you said bsg is making a new game and posted some fiucking bloggers

its not bsg. Move the fuck on and use your brain next time. Thank you

[gusty reef]

I love watching arguments where EVERYBODY is right and somehow we still get a fight

[distant obsidian]

No. Not everyone is right

BSG is not making a space game.

[gusty reef]

When you corrected him he literally just went "well somebody should update press then if it's not the case" and posted links that show reporters calling it a BSG project and you took that as him still arguing that it IS a bsg project

[twin sundial]

yeah not taking tyreall’s bait anymore if anyone sees me taking his bait remind me there’s no win scenario

[distant obsidian]

because your wrong

I am correcting miss information so you dont continue to spread shit that will annoy people

[distant obsidian]

the press? Its bloggers dude. Theyt post this shit for click bait

aint no one going to update an artivel from feb 1st as they inteneded it to cause a stir to get more clicks

Nikita posted about it himself that this is not a bsg game.

its not rage bait to correct your miss information. Stop acting like some victim lol

[reef furnace]

What is it then

Im confused

[distant obsidian]

no one know

[marsh wing]

everything im reading says Nikita is making it. no mention of BSG

[distant obsidian]

best coverage I could find on it, and its the most recent "news" if you want to call it that

I never read anything about him making it. Only that he seems to be involved so

[stone harbor]

it is 2026 and you should know, there is no moral press anymore, only clickbait, misinformation and fake press. I do not believe what the bloggers are posting, I check the facts on the main website and the IP owner's social media only, when needed

[distant obsidian]

could just be for marketing or using his platform. Who knows

yeah, gamerrant and what ever other crap you posted are all just bloggers making click bait

[marsh wing]

man im just over here playing modded minecraft

[distant obsidian]

shit is so bad.

[gritty river]

Gotta love to great heights and it’s BS

[marsh wing]

its like 50% luck and 50% skill

[distant obsidian]

It's not too bad if your decent

If your a potato then its all rng.

[gritty river]

POV: you can’t do Jack against TTV muts who play arena 247

[stone harbor]

Im a couch potato

[marsh wing]

half the ttv muts only have like 2 viewers

TTV dont mean shit anymore imo

[distant obsidian]

Most ttvs do t stream

[gritty river]

True

[stone harbor]

what is a TTV? Typical Tilted Victim?

[distant obsidian]

Also the ones that do, using that as income. So of fucking course they will play 247

Their income depends on them being good.

Party.

Twitch tv. A steamer

[gritty river]

Gota love being a normal casual player

[distant obsidian]

If you game for a living, or partial living. You should be good at it.

Not all casual gamer doesn't mean potato

You can be a normal casual gamer and still be good

Critical thinking, problem solving and the ability to take personal responsibility and accountability

[stone harbor]

The only Tarkov streamer I knew are Pestily, Theverybadscav, CoolestJonas, and BurntPeanut XD

[stone harbor]

Yeah I have a friend problem, so I'm solving it by a bullet to their non-stop yapping head during raid

[distant obsidian]

That is indeed problem solving lol

[willow tinsel]

or be like AquaFPS and be entertaining

[fervent peak]

My gf usually plays tarkov with another friend group (just schedule diff with me) and her friends are loot whores

Sometimes I wonder what it's like if I joined in on that group, see how tilted I'd get

[distant obsidian]

Hahaha

[stone harbor]

during the time serving, you do not wanna know how many fking times I just wanna put a bullet to their non-stop yapping and whining heads XD

[fervent peak]

I know I'm a looter before a shooter, but even I know to drop it when required xD

[stone harbor]

then you will be pissed having a pathfinder such as myself as your companion, I'm a loot goblin, thro and thro

[fervent peak]

I don't mind you loot goblining, just point your gun at sound pls

[merry sigil]

Is it just me or does it seem like loot drop rate got tuned down hard for marked rooms and lab rooms after the event? even lower than before the event

[fervent peak]

Totally just you, just keep pulling that slot machine lever, you'll win eventually

[merry sigil]

lol - have yet to get something different than guns in a marked room

[golden widget]

is anyone else having this issue where bosses arent spawning now

[fervent peak]

I'm saving my keys until another super marked room event occurs

[astral kindle]

Bosses are not 100%

[golden widget]

5 factory raids and no tagilla

[astral kindle]

Thats common

[golden widget]

should have seen him at least once

[marsh wing]

not how those numbers work

[astral kindle]

Just being unlucky, if you need kill him for task, add -90% spawn chance debuff

[golden widget]

im killing him just to kill him

[gritty river]

Yeah it’s physically impossible for a pve casual to do this bs get at least 3rd place when EVERYONE else is a PVP try hard junki

[merry sigil]

would recommend to do a prestack

is how i managed to get this - and i play primarily Checkpoint in Arena

the other modes are eh

[gritty river]

What tf is a pre stack

[merry sigil]

queue together with others you are sitting in discord with

[willow tinsel]

a stack of prime apes

[gritty river]

Ah..

[willow tinsel]

Together, Strong

[stone harbor]

Dont worry, I always eager for a gunfight, even when Im looting, I still prioritize fights than loots XD

somtimes I forgot what my job was, and just go in looking for fights

[gritty river]

So manage to get 10+ users onto arena at the same time and xact same que

[golden widget]

i accidentally murdered my buddy while looting and hearing noises not realizing it was him

[merry sigil]

no ... 4 other teammates with you and just queue

[stone harbor]

well I think that was a callout miscomunication lmao

[merry sigil]

and play - kill a bit and take checkpoints e.g.

[golden widget]

i have a clip of it on my tiktok. kinda looks intentional lmfao

[stone harbor]

always inform your buddy when you are in a close proxy, otherwise, if you got FF, it is on you

[golden widget]

we had just fought PMCs. i thought he was a PMC creeping up because last i had seen him he was right next to me and i didnt realize he wandered off

[stone harbor]

oh boi if yours was looking like intentional, mine will just be deemed warcrime XD

[golden widget]

what made it worse was he was asking if he could have the dogtags right before i shot him XD

[stone harbor]

when my brothers did not callout, I just casually locked in and headshot whoever in my exfil way, I killed my lazy ass friends way more times than the total number of bosses I killed, and I'm level 49, I almost got 15 kill achievement each boss, which says alot

[stone harbor]

same brother, whenever that shit happened, I just chuckled my tongues, sighed and somewhat happily said: welp, 1 more trophy for my shame Hall of Fame XD

I have 6 former brothers-in-arms, and my Hall of Fame is always up-to-date with their dog tags' levels XD

[golden widget]

damn lol

[shy ermine]

??events

[quasi apex]

There are no ongoing events at this time.

[pseudo kayak]

i tried to run at tagilla with a grenade cooked to throw at my feet

[golden widget]

do0es anyone else wish you could cook a grenade before throwing

[cunning thunder]

came to this discord to check the same

[cunning thunder]

would be very unfun in pvp

making everyone have impacts essentially

[golden widget]

gotta learn to adapt

[cunning thunder]

could say the same about nades :p adapt to the fuse time

dont think many people would be having gunfights no more in close quarters if we can cook nades

[distant obsidian]

Dumb cod idea. No

[golden widget]

being able to cook an M67 would be fantastic.

[distant obsidian]

So dumb

[cunning thunder]

I mean I do agree it would be nice to be a feature but in tarkov..

losing all ur gear to someone throwing 30 nades

not fun

[distant obsidian]

It's a dumb idea and it just gets people killed

Just use a Rd f1 if you really want

[willow tinsel]

normal F-1's works like a gem to me or Vogs, sure impact grenades are better but its a given

I have maybe like 10 impact nade kills because i rarely use it and hoard it, over a 100 F-1, RGD annd Vog-17 kills because they always drop from PMC's

besides, standing far away cooks the nades enough to explode the moment they land, maybe a little delay but it works

[distant obsidian]

Can also just air burst

Throw them up and air burst an area

[dawn echo]

flea loads so slow now after launcher update anyone else feel the same?

[distant obsidian]

No

[willow tinsel]

no

[blazing hare]

anyone wanna run terminal hmu

[pseudo kayak]

[fickle vine]

[marble bronze]

TFW you have to pop a mule just to walk the 50 or so feet to extract

111.8KG

[marsh wing]

just increase your strength, duh

[marble bronze]

max strength btw

[marsh wing]

not enough obviously

[marble bronze]

so add another 15 or so kilo for the guns

[dawn echo]

bros how tf do you complete capturing outpost

[marble bronze]

a lot of hurry up and wait

[main eagle]

yes

[fickle vine]

😭

[distant obsidian]

Nerfed implies lower then normal. They are not nerfed

[hallow moon]

im trying to tag and curse myself on purpose, ik the tag is removed upon equipping stuff but is it reapplied to removing stuff?

[marble bronze]

i don't believe so

[willow tinsel]

trying to bait AI into a specific area ?

[hallow moon]

yurt

so i basically gotta spawn partially bare and stay that way to continue baiting

[willow tinsel]

which quest are we talking about here

Gendarmerie - Tickets, Please?
Gendarmerie - District Patrol?
Capturing Outposts?

[marsh wing]

you forgot about claustrophobia and office kills

well, nevermind about office

[willow tinsel]

oh yeaa those, but that shouldnt be too hard

[grim jungle]

I just got like insta killed by a scav with 4 shots to the thorax with T-45

lvl6 plates btw

[twin sundial]

side hit? side plates?

[grim jungle]

all front, maybe one hit my throat then the last hit thorax and killed with blunt?

[twin sundial]

fucjed up man .. i got killed through a tent earlier with a grenade. was about 20 feet away. went through the tent i assume.

[grim jungle]

idk, I thought they were smugglers too cause I was dead within 0.5 secs of him shooting lol
it was at the power station on interchange so that's why I thought it was a smuggler

I got kinda excited thinking they snuck the event back in but nah, just a scav

[twin sundial]

sometimes i think they place a super scav in a group just to keep you from getting complacent around them

[golden widget]

oh you mean that one scav that tanks 40 rounds before dying

[distant obsidian]

they have 3 hp pools yes

but all have 30 head hp

[sage marsh]

you have 30 head hp

[lethal garnet]

that’s enough

[marsh wing]

bro who keeps changing your name

[lethal garnet]

no

my name is changed for me many times a day

this is entirely outside of my control

[marsh wing]

last time i saw you, you were butch

[lethal garnet]

[marsh wing]

[lethal garnet]

he’s playing world of warcraft so

i’ll take minecraft any day

[peak coral]

man these timegates on ticket are so lame

do 1 step - timegate - do another step - timegate and its always at minimum 24 hours

its bad enough with lightkeeper being 10 hours between quests

[gentle pulsar]

the timegates are what makes them tarkov quests

like a requirement lmfao

[wet bay]

i'll block you if you keep tagging me in this chat

W

two stones 1 dumb rock

[cursive summit]

So I just noticed when exactly did the bullets kinda just go overhead like I spray the targets head and 98% of the bullets just are so far landing overhead, my reticle stays on the head/neck/upper torso and they just go above my target

[willow tinsel]

Damn, always trust your gut feeling guys, my left ass cheek felt that there was a COFDM near D2 extract, well there it was in all its glory on the floor

[cursive summit]

Nvm its just the hybrid sight being the hybrid sight

[shy pollen]

Nearly finished falling skies😭

I just handed the materials to prapor

Any rquirements I need to get ready (no spoilers😭)

[cursive summit]

40 bitcoin and something else I forget

[willow tinsel]

Special Equipment DONE. now to hoard more SOST and craft 15 REAP-IR's

[timid kernel]

is there some kind of event going on now 5 night rides in customs and 100% of cultists ???

[finite tide]

i made the right choiice to keep the case right?

for savior

[raw nest]

No

[jovial cobalt]

either choice still leads to savior
giving case to prapor is just a way to meet lightkeeper way earlier

[willow tinsel]

that part doesnt matter, if you keep it, you wont have to do extra tasks to get it back

[finite tide]

what are all the things need to do for light keeper again?

[jovial cobalt]

uhhh in terms of wat

like for unlocking lightkeeper?
https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Network_Provider_-_Part_1#Requirements
^ if so

[regal valve]

does transit fence rep work rn? i swear i tranisted like... 10 times and my rep was the exact same still

[alpine vigil]

i have the station 14 kord restored pass but i cant equip it onto my character, how to fix

[willow tinsel]

its not the fact that you get fence rep from transiting on its own, its the fact you transit to reset the amount of PMC's spawn - you kill the PMC's in one map, when that is empty, you go next map

[regal valve]

im talking about on pmc

trying to farm fence rep, and i was told that if you keep transiting you get rep per transit

[willow tinsel]

never heard that

[jovial cobalt]

i think you only gain scav karma by transiting as scav

[regal valve]

ahh

[jovial cobalt]

https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Scavs#Scav_karma
thats all the ways to gain it

[regal valve]

that makes way more sense, shit.

thanks friends haha

[jovial cobalt]

honestly would be fun to scav + transit to get that rep up but you cant send shit to stash as scav in the transit screen

no fun

[willow tinsel]

and be sure to bind the scav help voiceline to a key, and hope your scavs gets domed by PMC's so you actually get rep from killing the PMC's

worst case scenario they come in hordes and kill the PMC's you were supposed to kill

[regal valve]

👌

is patch coming soon in 30 mins?

[dawn echo]

more like 2.5hours

[lavish tinsel]

are you expected to do terminal blind? ive been avoiding watching any terminal gameplay cos i wanted to experience it myself but my 3 attempts so far havent made it past 10 minutes. it is not fun trying to fight constantly respawning boss-difficulty enemies with t6 ammo and exact knowledge of your position at all times in waves of 8 each :(

[raw nest]

It's supposed to be that hard

[lavish tinsel]

i just wish they gave you more direction on where to go

i wouldnt mind the enemies as much if i had any way of knowing what to do ingame

i guess its my fault for expecting anything different seeing the entire game is just following a wiki for quests

[raw nest]

They already do. There's a big map in the spawn room and task updates the steps

[lavish tinsel]

maybe im just blind then i guess

[jovial cobalt]

i had more fun after i looked up terminal on yt

[lavish tinsel]

yeah im probably just gonna do that atp

[jovial cobalt]

but then i lost that factor of the unknown

[peak coral]

chat do we think icebreaker will be in this patch

[jovial cobalt]

give or take ig

[peak coral]

surely 🙏

[raw nest]

I used help of my friend with 9k hours

[raw nest]

Nope

I want BP season 2 NOW

[peak coral]

do they take arena down when main game has maint or no

[jovial cobalt]

reminds me

[jovial cobalt]

no it usually goes down the next day or something if both games have an update

which is what i was reminded of
if not in 20 min then possibly tomorrow an arena update will be scheduled ? s2 hype?

[peak coral]

nikita posted new tactical map the other day
