pve-chat

[bronze saddle]

why are half the locations server based? dafuck? is there an event?

[past breach]

thats what I asked

I do woods but don't notice anything special

[bright sand]

you didnt play during the 1.0 launch?

[bronze saddle]

fuck does that have to do with half the locations being server based? only the Streets were server based

[distant obsidian]

some maps have been locked to local or server only since launch

[bronze saddle]

they were ALWAYS all local except Streets. its TODAY that half of them became server based

[vale atlas]

I want to argue with you but i cant remember the specific maps that forced you online lol

I'm positive it was more than just streets though

[distant obsidian]

3 is not half

[lethal garnet]

hey

[distant obsidian]

woods and LH are server only now it seem. Woods went from local to only server

[bronze saddle]

cause theres a gooners event increasing their spawn to 75%

[distant obsidian]

Factory and labs are local only now

no there is not a goon event

[bronze saddle]

well at least thats what google says and i found these cunts 3 consecutive raids

[distant obsidian]

goons are still 30%

[past breach]

theres no reason why goons event would force server only

[distant obsidian]

exactly

shoreline is either or

[lethal garnet]

hey

[distant obsidian]

has nothing to do with goons

[acoustic sequoia]

what ammo can reliable kill tagilla to the legs?

[bronze saddle]

well the ALL BOSSES in reserve did force the map to server based

[distant obsidian]

cause you cant load all the bosses on local

[thorn roost]

i love this performance update sm

[lethal garnet]

me too thank you

[distant obsidian]

havent played a raid myself. But I never had performance issues so more is a bonus

[bronze saddle]

if they are gonna make some of the maps server based, fucking at least make the loading faster

[distant obsidian]

they did

[thorn roost]

streets and customs were a gamble for me and i keep the game on lowest

[distant obsidian]

they did that about 3 weeks ago

[thorn roost]

rn, both are running like factory did. i haven't played factory or labs yet, but they gotta be running insanely well

[vale atlas]

Didn't they force online for the reserve boss event? I think they do that to stop people trying to abuse things

[bronze saddle]

i could load in lighthouse in just max 2 minutes.. now i need 8 minutes

[distant obsidian]

they force online cause you cant load tht many bosses and get any frames above 2

[vale atlas]

Ah that makes more sense

AI pathing is intensive lol

[distant obsidian]

has nothing to do with exploits

[past breach]

only reserve all bosses event forced server, previous 100% boss spawn didn't force it

[distant obsidian]

previous ones we never had a choice

[vale atlas]

I just assumed it was an abuse prevention thing

[iron osprey]

Why is lighthouse suddenly online forced? And woods?

[bronze saddle]

and of all maps lighthouse or woods? naaaaah

[distant obsidian]

exploit abuse is a rare thing. No one gives a shit about it. People like to use that to explain things

[iron osprey]

What can people abuse on those maps?

[distant obsidian]

we cant talk anymore about it

TOS, even this is TOS

moving on

[vale atlas]

Yeah it just seems to be a focal point for some people in bsg lol. "NO you cannot drop gear for your friends", "We had to disable ammo on flea because people were abusing them" etc

Hence the leap

[distant obsidian]

ammo abuse with 1 round in a pack is wide spread and an issue lol.

or was before disable

[vale atlas]

That reminds me i should go buy a bunch of ammo before it gets disabled again

[distant obsidian]

o its back. nice

I got some packs saved up to sell

[vale atlas]

I had a full thicc case of stuff to sell that i just opened when they disabled it last time lol

I have regrets

[thorn roost]

W, those 5.56 100 packs are probably everywhere

i missed the ammo packs on flea

[vale atlas]

Same, but now i dont know what to do, i was mostly farming ammo lol

[distant obsidian]

I dont need flea ammo at all

[vale atlas]

I suppose i could keep doing it and sell said ammo but... i already dont need money

[distant obsidian]

anything you can buy I made way better so

finally we got our eod stuff to

I actually like the usec top for once

gloves are mid as fuck, but usable

[vale atlas]

Same, but mostly for convenience. Its a good way to get the randoms you're helping to know who not to shoot lol

"I'm the bright red one. DO NOT"

[distant obsidian]

would have been nice to have killer gloves. Woul be perfect

so I the buff to gen4s I dont think was very noticable.. Maybe 1% better?

[past breach]

it was done so PvP people don't sell in game gear or something

[gentle pulsar]

the gloves are literally a greyish-slate-stone color

[past breach]

I have no idea, run woods twice no difference

[vale atlas]

People are expecting an upcoming event, it could be prep for that

But they might also have just increased ai spawns and need bsg servers to run the ai for us lol

[distant obsidian]

yeah no idea

[vale atlas]

I have nothing but conjecture here

[distant obsidian]

waiting for a gigabeef vid to go over the armor changes

curious if its a buff to most armor, or a nerf to the couple of "good" rigs that had the plate follow the soft armor

[pallid marsh]

lol did they add random airdrop to pve now

[gentle pulsar]

it is a lingering affect of the last event

[distant obsidian]

Both PvE and pvp

It's intended and some are troll crates yes

[summer zinc]

bruh how is tht %30 rate for me almost %100 every 2 in 1 raid encountering thm on custom(goons)

[iron osprey]

On lighthouse it’s a different story

Sniping rogues becomes extremely unreliable

[astral kindle]

Seems like BSG not only expanded return the favor area but made PMCs roam more often around mountain

[iron osprey]

Unless you tell me they can take 10 338 AP shots in the chest without dismounting

[bright sand]

still works for me

[pallid marsh]

noticed that the goons are less willing to caveman rush you at least on my last encounter

[iron osprey]

It’s the same with streets sniper scav story

Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn’t, especially across 200+ meters

[distant obsidian]

Interesting.

[gentle pulsar]

are you saying sniping sometimes does work and sometimes doesnt

what conversation is this

[iron osprey]

It doesn’t register as a hit

You can saw blood splatter on their head locally but the targeted entity is not dead

[gentle pulsar]

it could be a case of them being animation locked after dying, just like how scavs wouldnt ragdoll after being headshot despite the server registerring them as dead

even then, ive personally never had issues killing rogues

[iron osprey]

I never had issues either

I would assume due to desync and long range distance, the most I had this happened is south of 4S carshop towards Rodina Cinema sniper scavs

Until the lighthouse was forced as online raid

[gentle pulsar]

i wouldnt chalk it up to "because im sniping at long range, it must be desync!"

it seems really, really silly to make that your conclusion

[iron osprey]

Dude I was using a STM9 back in streets with bipod

With a 34mm mount

I can literally see blood splatter on their model

[gentle pulsar]

i have never seen someone combine "STM9" and "Bipod" in the same sentence before when talking about tarkov

[iron osprey]

If it has a Bipod option I’m taking it

MP155 even

Unless it’s a RPDN

[vale atlas]

this has been an annoyance for me for a week or so lol, i hit tagilla in the face 13 times with 338 ap rounds

[simple briar]

I'm trying to get 50+ meters 9x39 kills for a quest with VAL any tips how to anticipate drop with sub sonic ammo?

[vale atlas]

I'm now thinking that it was just a visual issue with the blood splatter

[past breach]

Huh? How

[gentle pulsar]

i guess im lucky enough to not have these issues, my bullets seem to act like bullets when i shoot people

[vale atlas]

That must be nice lol

[iron osprey]

@past breach

[gentle pulsar]

then again, ive also never sniped at people from 200m out with an STM

[iron osprey]

Clarifiy: this is only happened in online raid

[past breach]

Weird

[vale atlas]

its actually pretty fun, but only if you enjoy the whole ballistics thing

[iron osprey]

It’s very fun

[vale atlas]

I like to put a 4x acog on my stm lol

[gentle pulsar]

so what im getting is
your connection to the server is absolute dogshit and your ping is invalidating your shots

[iron osprey]

Especially with Green Tracer

[past breach]

page up/down to set sights on longer range

[gentle pulsar]

literally thats the only explanation

[vale atlas]

Nah hitreg issues aren't unheard of lol

There are other explanations we just dont know what they are lol

[iron osprey]

It is supposed to be that but several of my selected servers are 55ish pings and also the issue resolves when I move close to 100~ meters

[gentle pulsar]

they are in my save, if its fine for me but not for them what's really causing it?

[iron osprey]

Maybe it’s items and covers unloading locally?

[vale atlas]

No idea lol

[gentle pulsar]

Dude

[iron osprey]

Locally the bullet hits but there was unloaded item in the way

[gentle pulsar]

So hold on
you're using 9mm GT to snipe what exactly?

[iron osprey]

Rodina cinema scavs, GT and 7n31

For the prapor quest

GT for calibration

[vale atlas]

That would make sense, the 13 338s to tagillas face was on reserve and he was down near the area where you'd see floating objects

Was during the boss event

[gentle pulsar]

im going to laugh so fucking hard if the damage on that bullet at that range is so ass that you're not dealing with hit reg problems, but actually just doing the damage of a fucking Blicky

ive had some scavs just straight up eat a single bullet of 9mm to the face even at point blank

[iron osprey]

Don’t think there’s damage dropoff mechanics but okay

[vale atlas]

There are

[iron osprey]

Yet this guys don’t even react

They just looks around like nothing happened

Like it’s none of their business

[vale atlas]

One of the 9x39 bullets for instance, and the mp7 rounds, does just enough to one tap to the head, with 35 damage, but the drop off is so immense that you will have to shoot them in the head twice

[gentle pulsar]

yuuurp

[iron osprey]

“Hmm I got strange metal pellets between my teeth, anyway what’s for breakfast?”

[vale atlas]

I have them survive ssa ap headshots sometimes too soi think that might also be one lol

[gentle pulsar]

iunno i have personally never had this specific problem, its def something with the game lol

[iron osprey]

I need to recreate something in the future

[gentle pulsar]

overpen is a thing too

[iron osprey]

The one that I turned the sniper scav’s head completely blood red and dude just patrolling

[vale atlas]

I'm not sure how that would prevent the one taps. It just passes straight through and somehow does less damage?

[iron osprey]

He ate that for breakfast, lunch and dinner

[astral kindle]

SSAP is bad round and almost everyone survives headshot from it

[vale atlas]

I dont know what the overpen mechanics would be here so i'm genuinely clueless

From an idiots outside perspective i'd assume overpen was a good thing lol

at least for headshots

[gentle pulsar]

"SSA AP is a bad round"
the humble level 6 helmet user when he faces my M4:

[astral kindle]

Low damage, rather use M995s

[vale atlas]

Ah i got 5k ssa ap from that smuggler event, i'll be running it for a while to let the better ammo stockpile

[subtle valve]

Kaban surviving 3 SSA AP rounds to the head cuz you shoot peas with low dmg

[gentle pulsar]

why the fuck are you shooting an unarmored target with armor piercing rounds?

[astral kindle]

Also gotta love woods is being forced on server

[subtle valve]

I am not... where do you even need T6 pen beside Killa faceshield?

[gentle pulsar]

5.56 SSA AP is perfectly fine, if it was any better than it is now not a single person would use the other calibers

57 pen with the fire rate of 5.56

[subtle valve]

5.45 BS > SSA AP

[gentle pulsar]

making me look in my fucking ammoboxes hold on

[subtle valve]

45 / 54 vs 38 / 57
This 7dmg makes a lot of difference

[gentle pulsar]

the lesser pen does too, BS would take an extra bullet or so to pen higher tier armor
the damage really doeesn't matter unless you're aiming for thorax

45 x 2 = 90
38 x 2 = 76

you'd need one extra bullet to thorax, but if they have t6 armor? it evens out to the same

[subtle valve]

But who tf wears T6 in PvE?

It's so unlikely scenario that makes SSA AP bad in PvE reality

Anyway my most used round is 7.62 TCW SP

85dmg and 30 pen is enough for almost every encounter

[marble bronze]

mostly Laby bosses

[subtle valve]

Well.. for Labrys you need 40 rounds of M80A1 / M993 / M61.
I wiped all living AI in Labrys literally with AK-308 and two mags

Shagilla needs 2-3 taps with M80A1 and 2 taps with M993 / M61

Same with VKilla

[wicked falcon]

so is there a reason as to why as of today lighthouse and woods are BSG server locked for pve? i swear that wasn't that way yesterday night

[astral kindle]

My bet is due lightkeeper and BTR rewards

[subtle valve]

Woods too? I did notice LH but didn't check woods

[gentle pulsar]

unfortunately neither you or me have a control over this
other than bosses, PMCs should wear high tier level 6 for both helms and plates

M855 is enough bro

and that's BAD

if i was nikita pve would have way more difficulty flavor to it rather than this run around loot shit kill shit simulator

[subtle valve]

They wear T5-T6 some times, but that is rare

[marble bronze]

plates yes, helms rarely

[proven marten]

hey has anyone found any other spawns for the far forward gps item. the one for lvl 3 intel, has anyone found it anywhere else besides looking for it at labs?

[gentle pulsar]

im saying specifically for the times you kill a fucking level 57 prestige 2 bot and he's rocking a stock half-broken AKMS with 7.62 HP

and then you find a level 1 rocking M62 tracers in an RFB
like their level isn't taken into account, and they never use gear thats actually worth taking

but yeah its rare and its annoying because part of the games difficulty is the gear you encounter

and the gear we encounter is always fucking buns

[subtle valve]

That I fully agree, they should link level on dogtag on AI with the set they are wearing

[marble bronze]

level 55 and up should solely be meme builds

[gentle pulsar]

they should just make it be like players, a bot over level X is able to buy X ammo therefore can spawn and use it

have this level be tied to the user's level that way the bots progress in gear similarly to the player

[desert zephyr]

Does anyone else have progress bars for hideout crafting bugged? None will show the green fill.

[marsh wing]

where BP s2?

[gentle pulsar]

but we'll have six new outfits for 10-15 dollars per outfit instead

(they all suck ass)

[proven marten]

i hate trying to get intel lvl3

[marble bronze]

because gpsa?

[stiff scaffold]

the performance patch did wonders to me

can finally run interchange at 80 frames. im fine with that

[lucid torrent]

Just check yellow/red/dark by the medical boxes and cat/conference room

[stiff scaffold]

customs needs to delete the provide viewership building and the fps problems will go away

[lucid torrent]

You can usually get a gpsa within 2-3 raids if you check all of its spawn locations

[marsh wing]

console tarkov when?

[stiff scaffold]

when ps8 releases

[marsh wing]

i did that and got gpsa and MCC within 5 raids

[marsh wing]

bro is thinking about the graphics and not the keybinds

[stiff scaffold]

im thinking about the graphics because we've never had a performance patch

and i've seen a player somehow use a controller on tarkov and they said it's functional

takes time to set up though

[warped imp]

I wish Capturing Outpost was alittle more doable....been suck on it for a while now

[marsh wing]

did you miss the patch yesterday?

[warped imp]

What do you mean?

[marsh wing]

they increased the size of the areas for those types of missions

[stiff scaffold]

im assuming you can now kill pmcs that are sitting outside of fortress

[warped imp]

an increase? How big is it now?

[marsh wing]

i have no idea, wiki might be updated

[astral kindle]

Killed 1 PMC outside of woods emercom but didn't count

[warped imp]

I've been stuck on the Customs one

[stiff scaffold]

hardest one to get

[astral kindle]

~20m from wall

[marsh wing]

moon im gonna DM you otherwise the server will mute me for text blob

[drowsy juniper]

How is shared bedroom after the supposed buff from the patch?

[astral kindle]

Bad

[marsh wing]

20% better than nothing is still nothing

[restive latch]

damn my performance this patch is kinda crazy

[drowsy juniper]

sad

[bright sand]

crazy in a good way?

[stiff scaffold]

not even gonna bother to check that marked room

[drowsy juniper]

well i need to go talk to LK so thought about buying one

[stiff scaffold]

just try luck to find one on a scav

[restive latch]

think its to do with the patch

[stiff scaffold]

ive found multiple of those on scavs

[restive latch]

yeah good

very good

[stiff scaffold]

performance also went up for me by a lot on interchange. felt no difference on reserve but im gonna try customs

[drowsy juniper]

ive only played streets so far since patch and not really noticed a diff for my setup

[stiff scaffold]

to be fair streets is streets

[drowsy juniper]

aye

[stiff scaffold]

it's in its own tier of performance

behind streets is customs thanks to the provide viewership building

[iron osprey]

Actually now that I think about this it has to be something to do with the ingame traders

[drowsy juniper]

Wish they went the route of splitting it in half for people on lower end pc's, atleast as an optional way to play it

[iron osprey]

These online maps are the only maps that has in game traders

BTRs, Lightkeeper

Why else would they put woods online?

[stiff scaffold]

I personally wouldnt mind it

streets is a great map

[iron osprey]

They’re trying to fix something or messed something up

[iron osprey]

I don’t mind streets either

[warped imp]

Holy Shit.....they have a BTR Figurine now......I need it

[drowsy juniper]

I thought Woods was forced local?

or did that change with the patch

[iron osprey]

Forced online now

[drowsy juniper]

interesting

[stiff scaffold]

its forced online now?

[iron osprey]

Yep

[stiff scaffold]

honestly better

[drowsy juniper]

LK had a lot of bugs that kept reoccuring with local play, so probably to do with that

[stiff scaffold]

had issues running that map on local so I barely touched it

[drowsy juniper]

btr as well ofc

[iron osprey]

My grudge with Lighthouse forced online is the one things I mentioned before and the backhills spawn

[astral kindle]

Just realized i've gotten elite perception and i hate it

[iron osprey]

I really don’t like that spawn

Especially as a bear

[drowsy juniper]

yeh it takes some getting used to, has its pro's but also 90% of the time its just annoying

[stiff scaffold]

lighthouse is garbage anyways regardless of the faction

[astral kindle]

Always hated it

[drowsy juniper]

good for finding hidden stuff in marked rooms that you cant visually see, some BTC spawns etc

thats it

[stiff scaffold]

went back to usec because of nikita voice but I wouldve stayed as a bear

[drowsy juniper]

bear also has nikita voice?

[astral kindle]

Color of dot should change if you get warmer of item location or just have toggle to disable that 360 area

[drowsy juniper]

++ agree

[stiff scaffold]

usec nikita voice is better

[lethal garnet]

truew

[stiff scaffold]

great idea

[astral kindle]

100%

[lethal garnet]

like most USEC stuff

[marsh wing]

i like swapping between nvg and flashlight in marked rooms

[stiff scaffold]

with the buffs on marked rooms, prices are gonna skyrocket depending on how good they are rn

specially the dorms one, got like 3 keys thanks to get cultist event

[marsh wing]

dont forget, everyone has keys right now

[astral kindle]

Also i think BSG broke return the favor area fix as yesterday killed PMC at village and it counted, now killed 2 on left side of village but didn't count >:(

[stiff scaffold]

I could've gotten more but I had reinstalled tarkov at that time and I was busy with college

so I couldn't grind them that much

[drowsy juniper]

buff on marked room, atleast from my abandoned fac runs is how it shouldve been from the start, Its not insane like that event we had before 1.0, but its noticably better

[marsh wing]

nerd

[stiff scaffold]

even went as far as killing cultists as a scav just to save time

[stiff scaffold]

[cosmic patrol]

cheese

[marsh wing]

wedge

THEY RAPED MY M4

THEY TOOK EVERYTHING OFF OF THE LOWER

[astral kindle]

Which means you forgot to insure those parts

[civic turret]

HI, i need help i am doing the ticket and i am on the moment to give the 3 blue folder to the lightkeeper but when i get in raid the blue folders dont count on the quest and the lightkeeper dosent say anything, pls help

[marsh wing]

the handle, are, bad, mag, scope, mount, and lower came back

everything else is gone

and im 1 GP short from buying another model 1

[iron osprey]

Remember after modding your existence gun you do need to insure it again

A insurance mark doesn’t means it’s fully insured

[astral kindle]

Try putting those folders into backpack or rig instead of container to see if he talks

[marsh wing]

uh huh, and i usually hit insure everything before each raid to make sure all my gear is insured

[iron osprey]

Clicking on “Insure everything” is a good habit

[iron osprey]

Oh

[marsh wing]

yeah, im one step ahead of ya

[iron osprey]

Maybe you insured it to another trader?

Like two separate traders

That might be why

[marsh wing]

its possible, prapor is getting stuff for me right now

im going back to stardew or minecraft until my shit gets back

[iron osprey]

I’m just gonna imagine scav squads searching for your insurance went into a brawl with one another arguing who’s taking what back

Eventually have to dismantle your M4 on the firld

[drowsy juniper]

has MP7 been fixed?

[iron osprey]

All while cursing you

[marsh wing]

the kit i just got back was from Reshy guards shooting me through one of the blue doors on fortress

[iron osprey]

Indeed

[drowsy juniper]

sweet

[stiff scaffold]

they still haven't fixed the p90 vertical mag have they?

that bug is so funny

[marsh wing]

just got pfilter from CC, and 2 scav cases

3 pfilters in less than 2 minutes

[drowsy juniper]

ez money

[marsh wing]

CC also had a VO in it

[marsh wing]

do i need them for anything if hideout is maxed?

[stiff scaffold]

marked key?

lucky

[marsh wing]

ye

[drowsy juniper]

they are only needed for hideout AFAIK so no

[rain briar]

Is there any info if Woods and Lighthouse will be available to local later on? Cant play any BSG server due to my ISP

[iron osprey]

Trade for thermal scope I think

[marsh wing]

yee

[stone harbor]

nope, this is shit, I hate Woods with a passion, and now they forced me to play on BSG, I did not ask to wait like 10 mins for a fucking raid

[rain briar]

At least you can get into the raid without "Server Connection Lost" and need to AWOL.

[marsh wing]

are they actually good?

[drowsy juniper]

Its reapIR barter, so best thermal IMO, but there are way cheaper barters for it than 4 power filters + the other stuff

[marsh wing]

yeah, iirc there is one that you can get for like 400k

[vast fossil]

Hey fellas, just got a sacret amulet from cultist circle by only putting a lightkeeper figurine. try it out 🙂

[distant obsidian]

useless item

also known on the wiki

[marsh wing]

skier is 5 clock, 6 watch, 6 skull. Mechanic is 4 iridium, 4 MCB, and 4 Pfilters

[marsh wing]

there are "known" recipes on wiki. Its guaranteed to give you a certain result ONCE per character

go put in 5 Duck Pate and see what you get

[drowsy juniper]

also a barter for 1 ledx, comes on an M4, PK IIRC

[agile tinsel]

for the ones who dont study the wiki thanks for the info

[drowsy juniper]

ledx is like 800k atm and can sell the rest of the m4 back, and comes with the mount

[vast fossil]

already done, but the new figurines are in like what? 2 days? thats why i wanted to share

[vast fossil]

appreciated 🙂

[astral kindle]

https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Hideout#Unique_Sacrifices

Lightkeeper figure gives you sacret amulet

[marsh wing]

they arent new figures... They are just now available to the public

they were originally released as twitch drops

[drowsy juniper]

first time available on PVE, as was only PVP before with drops

[marsh wing]

this

[vast fossil]

thanks for clarification, since im never playing pvp or watching twitch i didnt know^^

[marsh wing]

interesting....

118k back to mechanic

[peak coral]

whats the best foregrip for recoil now

[astral kindle]

RK-2 if i remember right

[drowsy juniper]

depends on the price of the mount on flea as well, sometimes thats 100k+ itself, so saves money there as well

[subtle valve]

AFG is best balance, RK-2 nest for pure recoil

[marsh wing]

se-5 or AFG M-Lok

[astral kindle]

AFG got better stats than SE-5

[marsh wing]

i couldnt remember tbh so i put both

[proven marten]

so did damage sget reworked or something?

[civic turret]

HI, i need help i am on pve doing the ticket and i am on the moment to give the 3 blue folder to the lightkeeper but when i get in raid the blue folders dont count on the quest and the lightkeeper dosent say anything, pls help

[astral kindle]

Already asked have you tried putting them into rig/backpack instead of container

[marsh wing]

mount is 120k on flea. More than the m4 itself back to mech

[civic turret]

oh ssry don see it, no but i will try it thx

[proven marten]

i did to a armpit shot and it showed i had the equilvant of damage of a landmine

[astral kindle]

np

[marsh wing]

thanks for reminding me of my easy barter/flea flip

[drowsy juniper]

:D np

[iron osprey]

There’s a lot, I mean, A LOT of quests needing ReapIR

I think you’re gonna need like, 18 of them?

19 counting gunsmith

[astral kindle]

15 goes into 1 quest

[iron osprey]

Yep

[marsh wing]

wait, i need to buy them? I figured they were going to be given to me

[iron osprey]

You can get some of them but most needs to be bought

[marsh wing]

thats pretty non-hetero of bsg

[iron osprey]

There’s a very eco-heavy late game quest

[astral kindle]

Its literal money sink quest

[iron osprey]

Not kidding

On both in game and meta explanations it’s literal

[marsh wing]

for the AK50, i NEED to give skier 50k, dont i?

[coarse gyro]

Is there a quest that gives injector case?

[astral kindle]

Yes

[marsh wing]

chemical part 4, side with therapist

[astral kindle]

Chemicals insert number here if you give it to therapist

[marsh wing]

HA

[astral kindle]

I was gonna say 3 ":D"

Somehow remembered its either 3 or 4 so thats why insert number here

[marsh wing]

Its chemical part 4 from skier which unlocks "Out of Curiosity" from Therapist. Complete her quest instead and it gives injector case

its also the best of the 3 options

[coarse gyro]

thanks

[astral kindle]

I just hate how there haven't been PMCs around mountain for last few raids, missing 2 kills

[stiff scaffold]

customs went up by a lot in frames but yeah they gotta delete that fucking building

[gentle pulsar]

yes sir, proceeding to delete "that fucking building"

[civic turret]

it work the blue folder thx so much

[astral kindle]

There we go, goodluck with rest of quest

[stiff scaffold]

thanks, let me know once you delete that fucking building

[marble bronze]

They're not gonna

[agile tinsel]

tarkovs greatest asset is that they dont listen to the ppl. we wouldnt have what we have otherwise

[marsh wing]

bro works for the government

[agile tinsel]

dont be hatin

[distant obsidian]

Of course they listen lol

[agile tinsel]

we would have escape from fortnite overhere

[distant obsidian]

just not everything is a good idea or can work

[gentle pulsar]

holy shit they buffed operational quests a shit ton

[stiff scaffold]

im surprised that the optimization actually worked tbh

I totally expected it to be bullshit

[distant obsidian]

why? its always worked in the past

[marble bronze]

Haven't noticed much tbh

[gentle pulsar]

200 rounds of 55a1 and .03 rep

[distant obsidian]

sounds like its a help on potatoes

[gentle pulsar]

extract once through courtyard on streets

[marble bronze]

Makes sense then

[timid whale]

Did they change cultist circle? 5 MP5s no longer result in the 14h sac

[distant obsidian]

General feel I am getting

[distant obsidian]

you do know how it works right?

You got a 6hr is my guess?

??circle

[quasi apex]

The cheapest confirmed circle recipes are all from Peacekeeper, here they are listed per trader level.
LL1 - 5 mp5's
LL2 - 2 MPX Suppressed #eft-chat message
LL3 - Flea dependent - G28 barter #eft-chat message (1 labs card)
LL4 - THOR IC armor⁠ #eft-chat message (1 sas drive) <- Prompts a 12 hour circle as per the soft armour price changes - do not use.

[timid whale]

yes.

[distant obsidian]

then you dont know how it works

[marsh wing]

WHAT

[timid whale]

tried that ll1 and it no longer works

[stiff scaffold]

those optimizations are nothing compared to what we got

at least on my end

[distant obsidian]

yes, but they still work

[marble bronze]

It's guaranteed 6 OR 14hr.

[timid whale]

ah I guess iv just always gotten the 14

[distant obsidian]

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

go read what a cultist circle actually does

[astral kindle]

Oh thor isn't good anymore? Dammit

[distant obsidian]

guess not

I dont use it anymore

the CC that it

[marble bronze]

Thor got me a 14hr this morning... Weird

[marsh wing]

yeah, same here

[astral kindle]

I think i got either 12 or 14 hour from thor earlier, can't remember when put armor in there

[marsh wing]

i mat 13:20 right now, and it was about 40mins ago

also, survey gives a handful of stims

[marble bronze]

being able to sell all this SOST again feels good

[astral kindle]

Gotta love how 100 round M855A1 boxes went 1m yesterday

Had ammocase full of them

[timid whale]

Appreciate the link ill give it a read

[marble bronze]

shame i can't sell all this SSA and 995

never gonna use it

[distant obsidian]

995 is good

[marsh wing]

wait, ammo is flea-able again?

[marble bronze]

some is

[distant obsidian]

canm spend ssa ap in labs and facotry

[marble bronze]

i've yet to meet a non-Laby target that doesn't die to 55a1 tbh

[marsh wing]

same

[distant obsidian]

I dont go to labrys

no need

[marsh wing]

sorry, i mean labs, not laby

[gentle pulsar]

doesnt go to the place thats the only real challenge

[marsh wing]

he also doesnt play the game that much lol

[distant obsidian]

labs is close range enough to ba able to use 995 well

[gentle pulsar]

hes in the chat like, every day..

[distant obsidian]

I play the game still, but I am grinding cause I got nothing to grind

O nyte is talking shit again, whats new lol

[marsh wing]

i mean, im playing stardew right now and im still in here

[pale leaf]

I prefer hp with 100 round mags

[distant obsidian]

just never talk to him. Maybe one day he will leave lol

[gentle pulsar]

cus you're a commoner

[neat spoke]

SBEUKOMAR | SCAVYBOI | GOONSQUAD | LIGHTSOUT | PAY2WIN | ELVISVISTA | INEEDSPACE

[gentle pulsar]

you frequent this chat is just what that means lol

[agile tinsel]

oh someones going back and forth with tyrael. what a surprise

[gentle pulsar]

but my point is that labry is one of the harder if not hardest places to go just cus of the bosses

"i never go there"

[distant obsidian]

anyways taco, yeah I use 5a1 everywhere to. But 995 and ssa ap can be spent in factory and labs if you want ot use it

995 can be used on most other maps, but you have to be careful with damage drop off at range

[marble bronze]

just feel like i'd get more out of it by selling it lmao

[distant obsidian]

o for sure

[marsh wing]

i might start using them on those maps then

[distant obsidian]

def not saying to have to use it

just throwing out the only spots you could use it in

[broken widget]

Ok let's see if I'm labeled spam again wtf

[distant obsidian]

labrys of to of course

or just sell it. I am keeping some SSA AP just in case we need it again

and 995 for terminal

but with the ergo being bugged, might go to terminal with an x17

[reef furnace]

Is it me or scavs are now just... always aiming for the throat

[manic pewter]

sup tyreal

[distant obsidian]

probably just you

[gentle pulsar]

stop sending it all at one time..

[distant obsidian]

Sup Skal

[reef furnace]

Just got killed by one using an sks while wearing a hexgrid

[distant obsidian]

hex doesnt cover the throat

[gentle pulsar]

hexgrid fucking sucks

[reef furnace]

Ik but shouldn't they be aiming for the thorax and arms

[agile tinsel]

ai tend to aim for non armored spots on body. a lot of rng and the right peaks

[reef furnace]

?

[distant obsidian]

I mean its rng

[manic pewter]

hex is awesome when you can loot one for the free lvl 6 plates, but otherwise shit

[gentle pulsar]

"they shouldnt aim for the spots i aim for" ?????

[distant obsidian]

they have what you would consider bloom

[gentle pulsar]

arms are no where near your throat either

[reef furnace]

You're not Tyreall lil bro

[marsh wing]

aka, center mass

[reef furnace]

Sounds reasonable

[distant obsidian]

im sure there is a more corect or technical game term. But think of the AI having bloom and aims in.

[gentle pulsar]

homie you're just being a class-A clown on public display, dont hate me for joining in on the goofy shit you spew

[distant obsidian]

Ignoring nyte is a good idea. He rage baits and and only trolls.

[reef furnace]

Yeah I figured

[distant obsidian]

he claims thats all I do but I actually provide good info. Even if I am an ass at times.

[lethal garnet]

interesting things happening in here

[gentle pulsar]

you're complaining they aim for center of mass 😭

wild shit

[lethal garnet]

they aim for exposed unarmored limbs

first

[reef furnace]

True

[lethal garnet]

that’s why your arm is endlessly going black

[gentle pulsar]

apparently they got throat hitboxed

[distant obsidian]

regardless yesh, think of AI having bloom. Better ai start with smaller circles and those circles get smaller as they see you

[subtle valve]

This makes sense with ammo they use, AI uses bleed builds

[reef furnace]

I guess I'll just have to wear a 6B45 next time

[distant obsidian]

yeah

[marsh wing]

well i mean, when you ads. you put your arms in front of your chest

[reef furnace]

Yeah mostly flesh rounds but they always tend to shot me in the arms, the stomach or legs

[gentle pulsar]

i havent been throat hitboxed in forever so i guess im immune to rng

[distant obsidian]

I also dont think they aim for unarmored spots.

[lethal garnet]

well

that’s nice

[reef furnace]

Well it's been rare the times AI has legged me

[subtle valve]

Most of my non boss deaths are cuz I was half dead because sudenly I have blacked arm and 2 heavy bleeds

[manic pewter]

they do and dont

[lethal garnet]

that doesn’t mean it’s true

[timid whale]

anyone else notice the p90 mag in the small gun display is just wrong?

[reef furnace]

They could also just lock on the the first hitbox they see

[marsh wing]

i usually only get legged when im being full auto'd by more than 1 enemy

[distant obsidian]

I think it just happens that some un armored spots are your arms, and they target the thorax so it appears they aim for unarmored spots.

The AI used to, and still might, lock onto the first things they see

Raiders used to do that. Its why you got head tapped so often when you peaked head only. No idea if thats how it still works, or when it changed

[reef furnace]

Wished they had actual player-like bullet spread to simulate this better

[manic pewter]

world of tanks ahh accuracy

[distant obsidian]

could have been a thing years ago

[distant obsidian]

yeah

[reef furnace]

They lock to the chest but the spread makes the rounds go around where they're aiming

Could be fun

[distant obsidian]

yeah,

[gentle pulsar]

i guess everyone just forgot scavs miss 80% of the shots they take

[reef furnace]

It's done on purpose

[astral kindle]

And then 20% of shots they hit in row

[reef furnace]

There's tiers to the AI

Yk

[astral kindle]

Gotta love those scavs who just hit you without missing

[distant obsidian]

yeah, tiers of scavs as well

[manic pewter]

sks scav moment

[distant obsidian]

low tier scavs could have just massive bloom even when fully aimed in

[reef furnace]

Those are the only one that been giving me good fights besides bosses

[subtle valve]

Scavs should use more types of shotgun slugs, that would be FUN

[marsh wing]

i LOVE ehwn they are pressed against a wall and the gun is pointed in a different direction, but they still hit you

[reef furnace]

They do

[manic pewter]

all sks scavs do is annoy me by taking one of my arms so i remove their head

[lethal garnet]

THAT annoys me

[subtle valve]

We need even more

[manic pewter]

equal exchange or something

[reef furnace]

They can use Poleva, Copper, Grizzly, HP, FTX

[lethal garnet]

or even worse when they push you in a corner so your gun is sideways and somehow they can still hit you

[reef furnace]

Well labyrinth guards can use AP-20

[distant obsidian]

this also annoys me yeah

[reef furnace]

Does that work for you?

[marsh wing]

YES

[reef furnace]

Fr

[distant obsidian]

this

[agile tinsel]

would be nice if ai carried a wider range of gear at this point. shit id even just take randomly generated gear at this point

[marsh wing]

i got top of head'd by a sektant one day whose gun was facing 90 degrees in a different direction

[gentle pulsar]

the weapon length of an M4 compared to the weapon length of a Kedr

[reef furnace]

That's Nikita's view of "hardcore AI"

[manic pewter]

atleast its not ready or not bots on hard difficulty

[reef furnace]

😂

[onyx tinsel]

Hey everyone which gun and ammo are you bringing to labyrinth? I struggle a bit (level 34)

[reef furnace]

Oh yeah those are way more busted than tarkov AI

[gentle pulsar]

MAI AP

[manic pewter]

those fuckers do not care what way their guns face in the slightest and will just headshot you regardless

[reef furnace]

Tier 5+ ammo (M80A1, MAI AP, M995, BS/Igolnik)

[astral kindle]

M80A1 or M61

[distant obsidian]

over 50 pen ammo is the minimum

[manic pewter]

i swear to god, heavy armor is just a placebo effect in ready or not

[onyx tinsel]

Thanks! However all not available at my level I think 🙁

[distant obsidian]

then play like you have under 50 pen

[gentle pulsar]

find the ammo

[distant obsidian]

dont stand and trade withy tag lol

[onyx tinsel]

The best place to find it would be labs, right?

[reef furnace]

I mean AI knows they gotta aim for your limbs or head like irl

[distant obsidian]

small burst and tactical retreat

[reef furnace]

Because your plates will stop a few rounds

[distant obsidian]

rinse and repeat

[manic pewter]

you can get atleast 100 rounds of 50pen ammo for free in labs without any key or keycard besides access, not having access is a myth

[gentle pulsar]

you're level 30 you can go to labs by buying labs keycards off flea
go to residential zone armory a handful of times
ammo problem solved

[onyx tinsel]

Thanks! Will co

Do*

[marsh wing]

im almost level 50 and ive never touched Labrys

[reef furnace]

Tearragroup armory building + MVD academy (streets) and Residential unit armory + Red keycard room in labs are good places to find high tier ammo

[marsh wing]

i still have hidden layer quest

[distant obsidian]

WHat Skal said

I did my larbys story in 1 run.

[manic pewter]

you forgot concordia security

[distant obsidian]

it was nice to get it done once. No need to go back

[reef furnace]

I never went it there in my entire streets experience

[manic pewter]

aswell as cargo container mesh key

[reef furnace]

Only for that one task mechanic gives when starting

[manic pewter]

both are great for ammo

[coarse gyro]

My buddy is getting backend error after extracting or dying every single raid any clue what could’ve the cause?

[agile tinsel]

only reasons to go labrys is to do quests or xp

[manic pewter]

also

reserve

[agile tinsel]

def not worth for loot runs

[reef furnace]

I go there to farm ammo and stuff

The brothers tend to spawn a lot with BS/Igolnik, 762 BP and AP-20

Also 7N40

[manic pewter]

glukhar is overrated and serves more as a reliable source of Vudus pre lvl 40 than an actual obstacle

[agile tinsel]

ammo overflow at this point i guess

[reef furnace]

I got 3.4k rounds of BS

Thanks to the labyrinth

[jaunty palm]

yo does anyone know how many people can extract on terminal im confused

[astral kindle]

3 seats with 1-3 players
3 to 4 seats with 4 players
4 to 5 seats with 5 players

[reef furnace]

Depends on the size of your squad I think

I've yet to reach the terminal

Got a lot of chapters to get done aiming for the saviour ending

[agile tinsel]

yeah depends on size as far as i know

[jaunty palm]

thank you im tryna run some with ppl and needed to know

[jaunty palm]

nice that what im going for now

[agile tinsel]

tbh 2 man is perfect for terminal

[manic pewter]

hmm, i dont think i need 22 diaries

[jaunty palm]

if u can find someone who can go the same time as you

[distant obsidian]

I didnt full read the question lol.

[vale atlas]

You might have many thoughts

[distant obsidian]

2-3 man seems to be good

[manic pewter]

nah, ive snatched all of these

[vale atlas]

Even better

Thats so many secrets

[manic pewter]

head empty, 0 thoughts

[vale atlas]

Why have thought when other think for us

[distant obsidian]

lol

avg tarkov player

[jaunty palm]

does everyone have to have the same ending to do it together

[vale atlas]

God i'm bored, must be time for tarkov

[jaunty palm]

?

[distant obsidian]

no

[manic pewter]

ive doubled my money today because of marked keys 🙏

more than doubled actually

[vale atlas]

Even hitting 314? its still been pretty tepid in there for me so far

[onyx tinsel]

Does anyone want to hop on a raid to lab? Happy to open the doors with my cards and leave you half the loot, so I can learn the best places for ammo 🙂

[vale atlas]

few btc but its mostly weapons i wont even bother dragging out of the raid lo

[distant obsidian]

I dont want more money

[manic pewter]

nah, i sold 2 PKPMs

[vale atlas]

I'm seeing if i can get to a billion in fir BTC before i run out of the billion i have

I reckon i'll make it

[jaunty palm]

anyone tryna run terminal ?

[vale atlas]

Give the lfg channel a try, will be a bunch of people there looking for the same thing

[jaunty palm]

can u sell them on the flea?

[manic pewter]

yes

i sold em for 6.3M each

[jaunty palm]

thank u

[vale atlas]

lmfao

[distant obsidian]

6.4 for marked keys atm? LOL

[jaunty palm]

oh dam nice

[vale atlas]

Man the prices people pay for some of this stuff is wild

[onyx tinsel]

Thanks, will do

[reef furnace]

Yeah the last event really killed the marked key prices a bit

[distant obsidian]

still so low

[gentle pulsar]

kill 6 pms as a scav for 2 Asea and a military gyrotachometer sheeeesh

[reef furnace]

From farming cultists in factory I got a bunch of reserve keys

[gentle pulsar]

easiest arrays ive ever gotten

[reef furnace]

And a few marked streets keys

[distant obsidian]

mind you as we know here, people have no idea how to find patch notes and read. So its no surprises most people have no idea they got buffed

[reef furnace]

Wait the spawn increase in factory for cultists is permanent?

[vale atlas]

Honestly i wish i was more like the people that didn't do research or get involved

I bet they're happier overall

[onyx tinsel]

You know it’s been 6 days that i need a ratchet wrench and I still haven’t found one? Lol

[distant obsidian]

was only lowered to 12%

[reef furnace]

Huh

Curious

[vale atlas]

I think they're slowly realising players feel joy when they're rewarded for their time

[distant obsidian]

have you only played like 2 raids not looking for it. Common item as long as you going to tool spots

[vale atlas]

and are inclined to play

[marsh wing]

it was 2% before, event bumped it to 33%, now its 12%

[onyx tinsel]

No, I have played around 10 and did all the toolboxes in interchange

[distant obsidian]

loot changes come and go

[manic pewter]

tbf, PKPM is a weak marked key compared to 314 or even VO if you ask me, dont think ive pulled a single good keycard from it

[distant obsidian]

what a terrible way to look for one

[manic pewter]

314 is sitting at 15M last time i checked

[onyx tinsel]

Really? Thanks for letting me know. Do you have any tipsv

[marsh wing]

but its also 1/3 of 314 after using it

[distant obsidian]

go to actual tool areas like shoreline smugglers

interchange smugglers ect..

woods bunker

[manic pewter]

6.3 is well above 1/3 of 15m so

[marsh wing]

well, i mean for the barter

[distant obsidian]

o def, only good for the barter

[swift path]

I have, but all reserve keys can be used to last one and barter to a 314, practically 27 free marked rooms, so I'm not too harsh on loots

[cosmic patrol]

weewoo

[marsh wing]

you get your uses and then barter it

[onyx tinsel]

So toolboxes does not mean a tool area

[distant obsidian]

no

[onyx tinsel]

Thanks, didn’t know that - will have a look in those places now

[distant obsidian]

tool areas are areas with a lot of loose loot that have those spawns

they also have containers to loot as well

[onyx tinsel]

The wiki said it spawned only in customs on a sofa and somewhere else

[vale atlas]

YOu could still find them in tool boxes, but the hideout stuff like that that you need can just be lying around on the ground in certain spots lol

[onyx tinsel]

Might it be incorrect?

[manic pewter]

marked bunker is just free high tier tools, great early wipe money printer

[distant obsidian]

its righht, but it doesnt give context or a loot guide

sure it can spawn, but checking 1 singular spot is inefficient time spent

[reef furnace]

I got like 6 pkps

Now that I notice

I've been farming kaban for ammo

Ehem does anyone need a PKP for gunsmith?

[onyx tinsel]

Thanks, so it can actually spawn in spots that are not on the wiki

[distant obsidian]

any tool spawn yes

which is hundreds

[onyx tinsel]

Thank you, no wonder I was not finding any haha

[distant obsidian]

they generally only list containers and set spawns where only that item can spawn. Those are few and far between. Generally. I dont know all the parameters for them to put a spot on the wiki though.

[distant obsidian]

I should start crafting BT for 54R. Stock up incase I need it

[onyx tinsel]

thank you very much, appreciate the help

[distant obsidian]

np

[reef furnace]

Yeah it's actually pretty useful

It's cheap, with good stats, and you always find PS around to craft it

Although I still prefer M80A1 over it

[distant obsidian]

ill just buy ps

as i craft

[manic pewter]

thats crazy, key tools cost more than key cases

[distant obsidian]

ya

[manic pewter]

key cases cost nothing

[craggy meteor]

whats the highest level pmc you can find in pve?

[distant obsidian]

60

[manic pewter]

might sell the two empty ones i have that ill never use

[craggy meteor]

ty

[onyx tinsel]

Hey @distant obsidian , another question: when you say smugglers interchange, you don't mean the smuggler's tunnel extract, right?

Because on shoreline I know there is a scav farm, but on interchange I am not sure

[marsh wing]

smuggler camp up by vehicle extract

[distant obsidian]

its the camp with the flare extract yes

[marsh wing]

nevermind, i was thinking shoreline

[onyx tinsel]

"Path to river"?

[marsh wing]

yes

[distant obsidian]

idk the name.

[onyx tinsel]

Thank you both, will hit it now and let you know if I find the wrench haha

[marsh wing]

you need inseq wrench or what?

[onyx tinsel]

ratchet

for water 3

[reef furnace]

Ive been finding those a lot in the abandoned factory of customs

Near the sniper scav tower

[distant obsidian]

o man the Bt craft is NOT cheap and only 30

[reef furnace]

Or inside the tool crates near crackhouse or inside fortress

[reef furnace]

Well it's cheap for me

Might be a relativity thing

[distant obsidian]

2 green gun powder and a thermite is pricing

250-300k for those alone

[marsh wing]

craft your own

[astral kindle]

If you can't find it there, try cultist bunker in woods as i've found plenty of ratchets in there on recent runs

[distant obsidian]

im double crafting ammo, I aint crafting gun powder

I aimt poor

[onyx tinsel]

Thanks, I am currently in raid, will klet you know if I find it on interchange

[distant obsidian]

its jsut expensive.

[marsh wing]

check out power station as well. Look on the ground around transformers and the power tower nearby

they have floor spawns for tools

[jolly bough]

Question. What are the consequences for team killing on purpose say you were queueing randomly.

[crystal oyster]

there arent any consequences

[distant obsidian]

0

[manic pewter]

cmon cofdms galore

[jolly bough]

Okay got it i am just curious if i should be vary. never queued with a random guy thus i am wondering if people have anything against it?

[manic pewter]

pkpts better deliver

[distant obsidian]

in game rnadom invites are the wild west

[crystal oyster]

i mean yeah the guy could dome you at any moment and you could do the same

no consequence or tracking of it

[manic pewter]

no cofdms

[jolly bough]

Dual music as soon as you load in. both people pulls out their deagles. walks 10 steps and turn to fire

[distant obsidian]

ok, lets go see how this ergo bug is with the x17 in game

[jolly bough]

fuck it we go with the good revolver just to make it authentic

[distant obsidian]

my god the ergo thing is insane LOL

[raw nest]

This is the way

[crystal oyster]

whats the ergo bug? i havent read anything on it

[distant obsidian]

theres no over swqing in game and low ergo guns snap like a moterh f

[jolly bough]

is ergo 100 a hard cap or just the max it will display

[raw nest]

Really?

[distant obsidian]

yeah, no idea if its a bug or what

[raw nest]

Damn gotta get my x-17 out and use some of the m80a1 i crafted

[distant obsidian]

#videos message

check that shit out

[raw nest]

WTF

That’s crazy

[distant obsidian]

yeah

[raw nest]

I guess it’s high time to get some 40+ kill raids

I need to check RPD

[shy pollen]

Ooo I think I found cultists

[obtuse pebble]

hows it going

[shy pollen]

Idk yet

[shy pollen]

But I’m pretty good, you?

[obtuse pebble]

looking at some game called cairn

can't tell if its good

or if its just a game about climbing

[shy pollen]

Hm.

[obtuse pebble]

in relation to tarkov, my stash is full.

[shy pollen]

Mines…. Like 6/10 the way full

Just sold a ton of guns

[obtuse pebble]

i probably don't have that many guns in mine just 200 million worth of shit

[shy pollen]

Hm

Oh sweet alkali

Need that for hudeout

Hide*

Dude marked rooms are SO buffed

[gentle pulsar]

gonna bring a raid bag and run all 3 in reserve

[shy pollen]

Ik it said that but

[shy pollen]

I’ve been getting blacks, taiga’s, red rebels, all in one room

And also ledX’s

[marble bronze]

meanwhile i've burnt 3 keys in search of two red rebels and only got half way there lol

gotten like 6 blacks tho...

[shy pollen]

I have like 10😔😭

[gentle pulsar]

ive got a few of each stockpiled, should prob start selling

[shy pollen]

I have two docs cases and 5 keycard holders full of cards

[gentle pulsar]

4 taigas, 6 red rebels, not including the taiga i have equipped

i just didnt think they were worth selling

never bothered to check so i been collecting

[shy pollen]

Red rebels are 1M

And taiga’s are 500k usually

[deep patrol]

hello guys, any tips where best look for FastForward GPS signal? I am not too good but trying to max my hideout

[marble bronze]

only on Labs or from the LK questline

[deep patrol]

labs seem hard for a noobie like me :/

[fervent peak]

It's only 'hard' without experience. Just yeet yourself in there. You'll also want coloured key cards for more chances at one. Yellow is cheap yet effective.

[deep patrol]

I got experience.. at dying :/

so many hours in game and still pretty bad

[distant obsidian]

then start learning from those deaths

[marble bronze]

bring a friend

[fervent peak]

Now you just need experience not dying. There are even occassions that labs is just a ghost town

[deep patrol]

hmm alr, might give labs a try. worth taking good gear first time? or just pistol/hatchet and yolo?

[deep patrol]

dont have no friends in EFT.. and no LFG in pve so kinda lonelly

[fervent peak]

Do practice raids, if you have the option. Otherwise, learn layout first with some okay gear. Raiders will have 30+ pen ammo

[distant obsidian]

#pve-lfg

[marble bronze]

you're literally in a server with PvE LFG

[deep patrol]

oh nice, did not know that's a thing. joined just a few hrs ago

[lethal garnet]

hi!! welcome to OEFT!!

[fervent peak]

Yes, welcome to OEFT, where majority of the time you're getting vibe checked with ragebait

[lethal garnet]

W

[deep patrol]

what is oeft?

[shy pollen]

Official escape from tarkov I’m guessing

[deep patrol]

lol, alr

[fervent peak]

That's the discord's tag, nothing important anyways

[shy pollen]

Well, welcome uhhh.. have fun and don’t let people bother you too much, mods are generally chill

[lethal garnet]

its very important

[fervent peak]

Oh people will bother you, especially if you refuse to look for answers yourself first (or learn from them yourself first)

[distant obsidian]

Hi, I am people

[fervent peak]

Ah, our resident truth flamer has arrived

[shy pollen]

I’m nearly escaped from tarkov

[distant obsidian]

same

did a raid with the xx17, not trying the mdr

[fervent peak]

Did we wanna try escaping again tonight?

[distant obsidian]

see which one i like better. Might try in terminal

yeah im down

[shy pollen]

KILLLAAAA

YOURE A DEAD MAN

Ooo ledX!

He was indeed, not a dead man

Note to self, bring better ammo to interchange

[cosmic patrol]

Perhaps... you became the dead man?

[past breach]

Do we know why woods and lighthouse are server hosted?

[marsh wing]

big map

bsg doesnt love you, thats why

we got scavs on local raids, be happy with that for now

[past breach]

But Nikita reply to me on twitter

[past breach]

It was fine in morning then snap forced server host woods and lighthouse.

No option to disable it

[marsh wing]

i died 3 times while doing peacekeeping, so im literally playing anything other than tarkov right now

also trying not to burn myself out

[past breach]

I didn't notice anything special on woods when I tested. And woods always work good on local

[shy pollen]

Airdrop timeeeeee

[past breach]

Airdrops for me are bad

Like very bad

[shy pollen]

Mine are generally really good

[marsh wing]

i think i got a pfilter out of one? but they have been shit

[shy pollen]

ITS ALL TP

[marsh wing]

you are also pretty new to the game

[shy pollen]

I’m nearly escaped from tarkov btw😭

[marsh wing]

i wish i could at least get the TP or RPG one

[past breach]

I didn't got any special airdrops with tp or rpg previously

[marsh wing]

no diddy drop either?

[past breach]

Nope

[trail torrent]

I got bored, so I had a song made up by Suno AI and I think it's pretty good.

[marsh wing]

no thank you

[trail torrent]

Don't have to listen to it if you don't want, just wanted to share. XD

[distant obsidian]

is it tarkov related?

[trail torrent]

it is

[distant obsidian]

ah ok

[shy pollen]

ITS ALL TP

[marsh wing]

ill be surprised if the mods let you keep the link up

[trail torrent]

They can review it themselves if they want.

It's safe.

did it between scav raids.

Hell, they may even like it themselves to be honest.

But it be what it be if they remove it.

[manic pewter]

oh yuck its ai generated music

🤢

[distant obsidian]

some is good

[marsh wing]

my thoughts exactly

[fervent peak]

I have to really dig to find decent AI slop music kekw

[trail torrent]

👍

[distant obsidian]

yeah, exactly kame

[trail torrent]

All I hear is, whining.

[manic pewter]

why settle for AI generated music when Pink Floyd exists

[marsh wing]

all i hear is AI slop

[deep patrol]

is AI generated music / image really art? what makes art art? Is impressionism or abstractionism art?

[distant obsidian]

i dont really care about ai myself

use it or dont, same goes for the consumer

[shy pollen]

Dude scavs on reserve keep one shooting my limbs

[distant obsidian]

listen/look at it or dont. no difference

[manic pewter]

Ehmm, its actually an artform to come up with the prompts to use

[fervent peak]

I just wish AI was used in a more practical sense... Like automating menial labour like stuff that requires a certain pattern to work or whatnot

[trail torrent]

how I feel. did it due to being bored.

[distant obsidian]

ai is not different then shitty artists. Just ignore what you dont like

[distant obsidian]

its being use for that as well though

[deep patrol]

"shitty artist" is very subjective... after all beauty is in the eye of the beholder

[fervent peak]

Probably not seeing enough news about it, would probably have to dig for that too xD

[deep patrol]

and thus.. AI might be indeed an artist

[distant obsidian]

doesnt get clicks,

[trail torrent]

Like Island boys. People loved them and hated them.

[distant obsidian]

random duffle ledx. nice

[fervent peak]

Give me my city pop and I'll be happy

[deep patrol]

Those were made fun of.. dont think anyone really liked them. ofc I can be wrong

[shy pollen]

Just bought the entire pp market

[trail torrent]

There was a shocking amount that liked them for some reason, didn't see the appeal.

[manic pewter]

there isnt any soul in AI generated music though, atleast the "shitty artist" put effort into creating a product and actually have some sort of talent albeit minimal

[distant obsidian]

no soul in most artists work

[trail torrent]

mumble rappers.

[deep patrol]

what is a soul then? we need to define

[distant obsidian]

you cant tell me modern pop being made by 7 different writters and a singer that is fully auto tuned has soul

[deep patrol]

otherwise how can we judge?

[fervent peak]

Rare are things that speak to the soul, but rarer still that speaks from the soul

[marsh wing]

twenty one pilots put their heart and soul into their music

[distant obsidian]

60% of the music made by people have no soul either.

[trail torrent]

Love their music. Fairly local is my fav.

[distant obsidian]

wasnt my style

good band, not my thing

[marsh wing]

fair

[manic pewter]

better than the 100% lack of soul from AI music though

[heady cosmos]

I just hit lvl 44 but for some reason, Mechanic isn't giving me Hobby Club for the ak 50, any ideas why?

[marsh wing]

My two fav bands are Twenty One Pilots and AJR. They actually put their heart and soul into their music

[distant obsidian]

ive heard more ai music lately have more soul then new released from popluar bands and artists

its the person imputting the data with the soul. Their feelings and emotions.

[trail torrent]

do a raid or two, should update. Had this happen when I got mech 2 for hideout stuff, did a few raids and it fixed itself.

[fervent peak]

Sometimes the game needs a reset to properly take your level into account. if it STILL doesn't show up, try a raid. Also check skier, he has a task called Fair Price that you'd need to do anyways

[distant obsidian]

using an ai to prject that feeling is not different then an artist using someone else to write a song and someone else to tune it

[marsh wing]

you dont want that quest anyways, its a money sink

[fervent peak]

Big boom is fun tho

[marsh wing]

you need like 8mil for skier?

[fervent peak]

50k euro, whatever that translate to

[marsh wing]

that might actually be like 13mil rub

i cant remember

[fervent peak]

It is 8.45mil ruble

[marsh wing]

okay, so i was right the first time

[leaden relic]

ingame Survey hahaha still trying to get out of a LABS raid, but no as soon as I do I will be on it. ffs

Alt F4 AGAIN

[marsh wing]

it gives like 6 stims

[shy pollen]

Ohhhhhhh yeah the raiders have good ammo

[manic pewter]

atleast the artist has to perform the song themselves as to having just an idea and getting an algorithm to write and perform said song, the fact there are so many "shitty" artists to begin with is because its become far easier to get ahold of studio equipment to mix and mash or sample parts or entire songs and putting ones own content over it, while that has far less sould than an original piece written by oneself, the fact its performed by a human, possibly even live, gives it far more soul than any AI song can

[shy pollen]

180 rounds of m856a1

[manic pewter]

god forbid an AI "artist" tries to write a song themselves and trying to perform it by either recording or other methods

[shy pollen]

Wait these aren’t raiders…

[distant obsidian]

you still have to create good prompts and work on it for a good song. Also AI artists give people that cant sing and ability to still create music they want

all it does is open the door for more people to be able to be an artist without the restrictions.

also if your actually a GOOD artist, you should have no issue being better then AI. If your not, then maybe your not as good artist

again, no issue with more people being able to express themselves

[manic pewter]

what restrictions? physical limits like being mute? sure i can get behind that, but being a song writer is still a thing

[distant obsidian]

not everyone can sing

many people are tone deff as well

[marsh wing]

the AI bubble is bursting and we know it

[distant obsidian]

the list goes on

[marsh wing]

Sora is getting taken down

[lethal garnet]

may i express myself

[manic pewter]

may it pop sooner rather than later

[marsh wing]

no

[lethal garnet]

Блядь

[distant obsidian]

no fed

[lethal garnet]

UGH

[marsh wing]

bastard

[manic pewter]

tbf, it was losing market share compared to stuff like grok

but still good

[marsh wing]

you saw fruit island got its shit taken down right?

[lethal garnet]

can we reduce reuse and recycle ai ? ♻️

W question 🙋🏼

[distant obsidian]

probably

[manic pewter]

ive sadly been informed of that

i wish i hadnt

[marsh wing]

i never watched it gladly

[manic pewter]

because i honestly couldnt care less that it was taken down
