[odd oak]

Who doesn’t love the mk47

God one of my favorites

[upbeat osprey]

I don't hate it or like it, I just don't care for it :D

[odd oak]

Nl545di for the 545
Txdml for 556
762x39 mk47
Mosin for 762x54 my favorite guns for each so far

[upbeat osprey]

I just run m4s, sr25s/scar-hs/SAs, and maybe an m60 for the memes

sometimes I whip out a mjolnir

[odd oak]

I don’t like scars look so I don’t like it

Look is half the weapon for me

I rather not use a weapon bc of the look

[upbeat osprey]

fair

I'm fine with the scar look, although I do love the modded SA look too

[odd oak]

Sa?

[jovial cobalt]

sa58 fal?

[willow tinsel]

Sa58 was my first love on sight when it came

[night echo]

Ima be on like 6pm ima be on at like 50m

5pm

[upbeat osprey]

dam, he had bcp fmjs again

talk about goons with good ammo

[raw nest]

Sure

[night echo]

Alr thx a lot

[odd oak]

Ohh I like the sa58

[upbeat osprey]

aight, that's enough customs for the night

I'm off to sleep, damn goons

[odd oak]

How did u die

Pipe?

[upbeat osprey]

I didn't, just no drum GL

I'm so damn tired of looking for them

22 customs in a row, 2 goons sightings

Or something to that order

[onyx depot]

you're lucky to even see them.. I think I've had them twice since 1.0

[upbeat osprey]

I just want a funny GL that goes "thump thump thump..."

And a bag of gl nades ofc to go with it

Cause PK only sells 1 out of like 8 types

At least I won't have to worry about class 5 plates for a long time now

[willow tinsel]

Christmas event stacked me up with lifetime T6 plates

[upbeat osprey]

I have not done enough of those crafts sadly

Spent too much on crafting mules

[raw nest]

could trade ram for gacs

[jovial cobalt]

lol epic cpu performance patch

my shit crashed

[unreal kestrel]

this game is just bad

[jovial cobalt]

hell yeah it is

[unreal kestrel]

i peaked a corner and my game froze for 5 seconds

unfreeze and im dead with my gun and hands still up like im alive then it fades to black

[weary ice]

Do light plates take more damage then heavy plates?

[jovial cobalt]

https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Ballistics#Durability

each material's destructibility and explosivie destructibility is different

[weary ice]

wtf there is glass armour?

[jovial cobalt]

so i think no if light plates are considered like UHMWPE and heavy plates are like ceramic plates

[jovial cobalt]

visors

[weary ice]

Ohh

[jovial cobalt]

lol glass armor like skyrim

they should add that in scav life dlc

[weary ice]

That makes much more sense

[cosmic patrol]

sussy @jovial cobalt

[jovial cobalt]

2x fps on bsg servers than on local is crazy

[cosmic patrol]

huh, 2x fps where

[jovial cobalt]

shoreline lol

[cosmic patrol]

I call bullshit

[jovial cobalt]

but i did crash last raid so maybe its not the best comparison

[cosmic patrol]

Placebo

Lie

[jovial cobalt]

nah i was on like 50-60 last raid

[cosmic patrol]

fuckin, hopunscrotum bullshit

[jovial cobalt]

i do remember 80 fps tho on local shoreline after the cpu performance patch

[cosmic patrol]

performance patch and actually worked? huh?

[jovial cobalt]

and rn im kinda on the outskirts of the map but 105-144 fps depending on where im looking

[velvet vine]

new patch is nice performance wise. I don't lose 20 fps when looking at the customs expansion anymore

[dreamy mantle]

??codes

[quasi apex]

Redeem your goodies → https://www.escapefromtarkov.com/promo/activate (Or launcher → your name → activate code)
SBEUKOMAR | SCAVYBOI | GOONSQUAD | LIGHTSOUT | PAY2WIN | ELVISVISTA | INEEDSPACE

[cosmic patrol]

damn, i might have to try terminal then if performance is this

[manic pewter]

Youd expect your pfp's stare to give you atleast a 10% fps stare

[undone coral]

I started using ProcessLasso and haven't crashed tarkov since. Just investigate any specific windows event logs.

On an i9 14k, 32gb 5k ram, 4080. Ram used to crash reliably bw 28-31m on a lot of maps. No crashes since I updated bios, windows, ddu and started using process lasso

If you have a lot of instability send me your windows event logs description and I can maybe help troubleshoot

[cosmic patrol]

Kekw

[hallow moon]

i just found a labyrinth key outside the labyrinth? is that possible?

well ofc its possible but should it be?

[jovial cobalt]

ye its happened to me once too

[hallow moon]

what do i do with it

[jovial cobalt]

which key is it

[onyx depot]

there are hard spawns for them

is it one of the "key 02"?

[jovial cobalt]

like knossos key or 'key 01'

[onyx depot]

oh it useless

[jovial cobalt]

[cosmic patrol]

i remember when labrynth released, i had every trap key...

i was so proud of myself

[low imp]

so uh, just came back to the game and uh. where the fuck do i find COFDMs

[onyx depot]

labs

[low imp]

guessing in the middle?

[cosmic patrol]

lighthouse, labs, anywhere tbh. Marked rooms especially

[onyx depot]

try red/violet/yellow

[low imp]

I need 4 for Lightkeeper so I can finish the Ticket

[onyx depot]

could also spawn middle

[low imp]

was stuck on that for over a month

even before quitting

[stone goblet]

labyrinth, lighthouse or streets

concordia 34 keys, negotiation room, zmeisky 5 apartment 20, pinewood 215, chek 13, chek 15, iron gate

[cosmic patrol]

omg it uirch

[wheat bough]

Chat... give me a map

To run

(Other than terminal I cant go there anymore)

[onyx depot]

what do you mean? "to run"?

[wheat bough]

To go to, do a raid, etc

[past girder]

Reserve and tickle Glukhar for me

[onyx depot]

customs.. chances of goons, cultists, cheese manm reshala and 314.. relatively small map

easy to run

[wheat bough]

Ill coin flip yall, alright give me a gun category, shotgun, assault rifle, etc

[past girder]

Toz

[wheat bough]

Category not gun itself

[onyx depot]

manually operated shotgun

[past girder]

Bolt Action

[wheat bough]

Ill coin flip that one sec smg

Smh

Alright "bolt action" oh boy.... tbh i need to do jeager quests anyway lmfao

Uh

[past girder]

It's mosin or nothing

[onyx depot]

VPO

[past girder]

Or that

[broken fable]

can cultists possibly spawn during a raid or they immediately spawn at the start?

[past girder]

Mosin or the Gorlami

[onyx depot]

can be mid raid

[wheat bough]

First one to post a build in #screenshots will be my weapon from the bolt action rifle catagory

[onyx depot]

i cant even get into the game..

its down for me

[wheat bough]

Can be completely stock or cursed

[broken fable]

noted, I was confused when i checked every area at night factory only to find a trio of them at a area I have checked

[wheat bough]

(Posts an image from tarkov wiki or smth of the basic stock weapon)

[neat forge]

I think it’s something g like every 5 minutes they have a chance to spawn and they won’t spawn if there’s another ai in their spawn.

[wheat bough]

Ai spawn conflicting maybe, I've had that a few times during the event recently I didnt see any went to reset then had a guard push me from where I checked already

[broken fable]

ah, if I killed all the AI in factory, then they might have a chance to spawn on their specified locations

[onyx depot]

#screenshots message

just like this

no mag allowed!

[neat forge]

Yessir

[broken fable]

alright then, thanks man

[wheat bough]

Im going to cry

[wheat bough]

(Watch me get killed by the grouse)

Give me a min, coin flipper picked reserve too smh

[past girder]

I was mid raid so couldn't do a build 🙁

[wheat bough]

Oof

[past girder]

but good luck

[wheat bough]

Give me a build ill run it the second raid

To be fair

[past girder]

you're going to hate me

[wheat bough]

I already hate the other guy what could go wrong

[past girder]

Bet, it'll be a AXMC with no sights

jks

[wheat bough]

I dont have access to an axmc

Sadly

[onyx depot]

at least it's .308.. not .410

[wheat bough]

Fair

[wheat bough]

And wasn't mad until you said fucking NO MAG

[onyx depot]

well its too easy with a mag 😂

[low imp]

guessing the high tier ammo loot from labs got nerfed like crazy yeah

[onyx depot]

there needs to be some sort of challenge

[wheat bough]

No sight tf you mean easy (hip fire time chat)

[past girder]

posted it in #screenshots

I'm sorry

I was feeling curteous to give you a Laser

[onyx depot]

no you have to take the lasers off.. can only use the thermal

[wheat bough]

Based af simular to what I used to run when I played pvp

[past girder]

On 2nd thought

[wheat bough]

Oh imma ads that shit i use that sight on occasion

[past girder]

I'll replace the laser with a 2nd Klesch Flashlight

[wheat bough]

Oh fuck

Give me build screenshot ill build it

[past girder]

if only blinding the Ai with the Klesch worked

lemme build this and run it i need to try it

[onyx depot]

#screenshots message

Your next build if this one fails

[past girder]

the OG

Also I wonder when we're getting the new season for BP. I thought it was this month

[mental halo]

DOES ACID GREEN WORK ON CULTISTS?

[wheat bough]

ofc

[wheat bough]

i think so, also hey man

this shit gonna be annoying af

[low imp]

also when is Roaming BD gonna be a thing

[wheat bough]

no mag, no sight remington... oh boy

[manic pewter]

No

[marble bronze]

Sounds awful

Unless they get toned way the fuck down

[indigo knoll]

I want roaming bd solely for their drip

[wheat bough]

@past girder cant buy that pistol grip so imma run it without it unless you want me to use a dif build\

[jovial cobalt]

pushed to mid april

[past girder]

try without it!

[wheat bough]

ofc

[past girder]

and damn

[past girder]

good luck!

[reef furnace]

I found my first BTR figurine!
#screenshots message

[halcyon arch]

god i love labs

[mossy blade]

dude rhis is the worst fucking day in my life

I fail an exam i go to the fucking vice director since the institution laws were broken by the teacher and yet its my last day

on my fucking god im pissed

[halcyon arch]

youll get them next time

[mossy blade]

i alr reported the teacher

[halcyon arch]

well, at least you did what you could

[sudden lance]

Thats so unfair

[quartz vector]

Did they remove arena xp from PvE? I haven't played in like 3-4 months and I've lost 14 levels out of nowhere

[mossy blade]

welcome to the "best" day i hoped for

[thorn roost]

if you didn't reset you lost levels due to level progression rebalancing

[quartz vector]

Ugh

Annoying

[cosmic patrol]

imagine, oh wait..You dont need to

[jade saffron]

are daily quests just F-ed?
I am gonna get 2 tank batteries for one extract through the courtyard on streets
not complaining but they seem to be very irregular

[quartz vector]

Well I mean courtyard isn't guaranteed so I guess there's some risk to it

[rare idol]

is it worth it to run marked rooms or should i just sell the keys?

[mossy blade]

50/50, sometimes yes sometimes no

[gritty kettle]

depending on your item needs and progression, you may wanna hold on, but mostly it's break-even.

[mossy blade]

marked rooms are hard story required really

[rare idol]

they seem pre pricey on the flea atm so was just gonna sell em tbh but yea idk

[thorn roost]

i got a weekly to turn in one gold G phone for 2 tank batteries last week

very weird but welcome ig

[jade saffron]

some tank battallion is desperately missing their batteries I think

[past girder]

@wheat bough Did ya kill the Grouse?

[loud raptor]

Stonks weekly

[wheat bough]

nope didnt spawn i think

[loud raptor]

Grouse is a new boss?

??event

[quasi apex]

There are no ongoing events at this time.

[distant obsidian]

No

No idea who they are talking about

[loud raptor]

Oh okok

[crystal umbra]

Probably Glukhar? Since his name means grouse in russian iirc.

[wheat bough]

glukhar lmao

[loud raptor]

I logged and my generated was out of gas

Oh okok Glucose

[past girder]

Also, if you get the achievement from killing him the 1st time - It's called "Grouse Hunting"

[loud raptor]

Oh I didn’t notice, it was like 2k hours ago

[past girder]

No worries homie

[dense sentinel]

glukhar is probably my least favorite boss to fight since him and his squad are annoying as hell to fight depending on where they spawn

[past girder]

If he spawns with the M1a, EZ

[dense sentinel]

yea its just him and his damn ash12 lol

[past girder]

however, if he spawns with the Ash-12, that's when its sketchy

[loud raptor]

Glucose is okay but he has a bunch of guards

Kaban is easier imo

[dense sentinel]

yea boss wise kaban was easy for me to deal with i would just post up near the cinema and bipod a sniper on the railing facing lexos and snipe his guards and once all 3-4 of them dead on the roofs id push to the gate and start chucking a few of the 10 frag grenades id bring with and post up next to the crate near the machine gun with my m60 loaded with m80 ready to go

[neat spoke]

Wish I could have a daily/weekly for a evasion armband.... still looking 😢

[loud raptor]

Bruh I didnt notice the new apparel for usec

[neat spoke]

Gluhkars not bad. I used to really struggle with Killa...

[loud raptor]

I need it

[dense sentinel]

i bought the scavtec pack to go with my killa helmet and armor lol

[loud raptor]

Yeah I want scavtec for the arm tattoo instead of day off or skeleton

[past girder]

Also, speaking on the topic of drip, correct me if i'm wrong; I read somewhere that gloves are gonna be their own "clothing type"?

[charred egret]

what do i need to know before going in to labs loadout what to look for ?

[loud raptor]

counter strike?

[dense sentinel]

@charred egret first time or do you know the layout?

[past girder]

I don't think like CS, Iirc gloves from existing tops

[charred egret]

i know a bit of the layout i've only done the intro mission to labs and gtfo

[past girder]

What keycards do you have?

And Keys

[charred egret]

black yellow and green

[dense sentinel]

so if you trust yourself well enough you can go in with just a full auto glock and like 4 extra drum mags loaded with with the good 9mm ap rounds which is what i do and then i just scoop up any g28s and sig spears onto my sling and main carry

fuck after spending like a full month of running labs just to farm up 11k rounds of m995 and ssa ap i got my pistols skill to 40 lol

[charred egret]

XD

the glock do be op

[past girder]

@wheat bough Rsh-12 for the next run? 😛

[dense sentinel]

shit i wish if you elited the pistols skill you could akimbo glocks XD id just run around spraying labs like its a mw2 match

[distant obsidian]

We got our EOD stuff

[charred egret]

XD

[wheat bough]

What's funny is i was about to use that for labs lol

[distant obsidian]

The usec top is good. Gloves are mid, but serviceable

[past girder]

I was just playing RE-Reqiuem the other day and the first thing I noticed on Leon was the Rsh-12, It was sick

[dense sentinel]

i still need to buy requiem

[past girder]

it's really good

good balance between Horror & Action

[dense sentinel]

oh i love the RE franchise ive played em all so far minus Reqiuem

[dreamy mantle]

whoever just sold their full use dorms marked for 10 mil, ❤️

[charred egret]

i've been trying to knock out some story missions and just finished falling skies and started the ticket

[vale atlas]

Anyone know if AI can take car extracts or are they just not there sometimes because rng didn't spawn?

I'm really struggling to get woods to co-operate lol

[charred egret]

it's random

[past girder]

Woods has been a pain for me especially for LK Taskline

just gotta stay on that grind

[vale atlas]

Ok so AI wont remove it, great

Yeah thanks, that soothes the suffering somewhat

[charred egret]

no i don't believe so

[vale atlas]

I was starting to think i was just not getting there fast enough lol

I'm at 3.52 scav karma, and just finished the last kappa quest i needed before collector so... this is my life now

[round orbit]

Scav to Factory, wait in a corner until you hear PMCs killing scavs, kill PMCs. I got my last bit of rep that way once cars were fizzling out. Sometimes you get lucky and kill a PMC who killed Tagilla

[vale atlas]

I'm gonna do that, but first just trying to clear the last two car extracts i need lol

woods and lighthouse i have not used at all, "easy" fast boost in theory

[charred egret]

where is a good place to find the little gas mask filters i need them for my hideout

[gentle pulsar]

you can buy the mask off flea, then craft it into a filter inside your Lavatory

[marsh wing]

Icebreaker when?

[vale atlas]

I was gonna say "grab the masks off scavs" but i've only seen one gp5 this week lol

[marsh wing]

i lowkey grab every mask i see on a scav or in raid

[charred egret]

bro you are an absolute g

[gentle pulsar]

no problem homie

saves you having to search scavs lmao

[gentle pulsar]

why?

i only loot scav backpacks or scav pockets cus each scav can spawn keys

ive founds labs access keycards on a few select scavs

[marsh wing]

so i can craft filters

[charred perch]

Guys, have any web calculator to check which trade for Thicc item case is cheaper?

[marsh wing]

just eyeball it

[charred egret]

for some reason that's the only place i find them lol i've also looted 2 rusted bloody keys off of scavs so far

[marsh wing]

i think both of Therapist's cases are cheaper than the others

[gentle pulsar]

you could just buy them and craft them that way..

the masks are only 100k, thats chump change

[marsh wing]

yeah but if i have the room, then i have no issue grabbing them

[gentle pulsar]

versus two figurines that'd be worth more than 100k?

or a quest item?

just seems like a low-value item to take

[marsh wing]

if i have the room

[gentle pulsar]

sooo never 😭

[marsh wing]

that means if there is nothing else i can grab

i dont fill my inventory every single raid

[gentle pulsar]

i usually do only unless im rushing to get done
getting as much shit needed in this raid saves me another potiental raid

shit, getting 4 quests done on the same map in one raid is one of the best feelings

[marsh wing]

well my hideout is maxed, so unless i know of an item ill need for a future quest, i just grab what i find and replace it if i find something more worthwhile

[waxen vale]

has anyone recently killed zryachie ? looking to take him out for snowball challange

[gentle pulsar]

im just saying, when i loot i think about the single-slot value of an item

gold chains are 24k, and are only one slot
4 of them (the size of the gas mask) is roughly 96k, which would be about the same price as the mask you take. think of it like that

if your hideout is maxed i get it, mine still isnt

i absolutely hate doing the hideout because ive had to build it four fucking times prior to building it this time!

[marsh wing]

yeah i got 38mil, so im not really strapped for cash. So i just grab what i feel like

[gentle pulsar]

well, labs solves all my money problems in the span of two raids

and i still pick up stuff based on value

ig its a habit tied to pvp

[marsh wing]

i sold some extra keys last night, so im chilling for a while

[warm shore]

so goons having a flat spawn % is a lie right? Cause how have i searched every building around crackhouse/fortress 8 raids in a row and not found goons

[marsh wing]

try a different map?

or just keep trying

[warm shore]

this is "cultists spawn every time on night factory" from the last event all over again

[marsh wing]

you'll never have worse luck than @wintry cobalt

[warm shore]

Maybe, im sure as shit trying though

[charred egret]

lol every map i play with the goons on it they are there

[sharp bluff]

2 shoreline raids 2 aidrops arrive out of nowhere, this something new?

[marsh wing]

100% airdrop on raids. Confirmed by nikita

there are 3 specials ones. All TP, All RPG, or All Vaseline (the diddy drop)

[vale atlas]

Its still chance, thats where you're struggling

RNG gon' get ya

even if it was 50/50 you could not have them spawn 10 raids in a row

[plush panther]

try me, I am looking for goons bc they are my last quest before kappa, I am rn 30+ raids in on customs and haven't seen them once

[vale atlas]

You wont like it but you could try lighthouse, its a lot more obvious when they're there

You can check just by going to sniper rock, they'll try to get you from chalet, or you'll see/hear them fucking around in the base

[plush panther]

if I hit 50 customs raids with no goons I'll start going lighthouse

[sage marsh]

you just have shit luck

[plush panther]

because otherwise I might just believe they were outright removed from my game

[plush panther]

as if I didn't already know that lmao

I previously was trying to finish the tank battery BTR quest, went 7 consecutive Streets raids without the BTR spawning

[vale atlas]

I've been running past devil mayo for weeks, i thought i had one stashed 💔

[sage marsh]

i use woods for btr. more consistent plus gauranteed stops

[vale atlas]

Woods is kinda rough to fight them on though

Lots of trees to hide them, that don't hide you and fuck all real cover

[sage marsh]

oh yea not for goons. for the btr quests

[vale atlas]

Oooh

Wait more consistent? it runs a circuit on street. I must be misunderstanding here lol.

I should read before i join in on conversations

[sage marsh]

I personally never learned his circuit on streets

but i have it memorized on woods

[vale atlas]

I struggle with finding him on woods myself, he seems to take random routes and only the one time lol. its like he drives through it

[west mist]

i

arise

[vale atlas]

Plus he'll sometimes just swerve and go a different route, i've been at a stop waiting for him and he just fuckin, drove a diffferent way

whereas on streets i know no matter what, if i wait at any of his stops, he'll turn up

[sage marsh]

ah yea his woods routes are weird but he has 2 gauranteed spots he will stop

Red Sawmill and v-ex village

[marsh wing]

if he spawns

[marsh wing]

i use streets. He always goes to theater or sewer for me if he does spawn

[vale atlas]

OH i didn't know that lol, thanks

Btr driver stops at every stop on streets, he just drives round and round

[night echo]

any1 wanna help me ensure access to labs?

ion know anything abt that map

[marsh wing]

those two are easier to find though since they are so close

[vale atlas]

I like to hop in, buy a ride and then buy covering fire, becomes a roaming turret lol

[jaunty rock]

finally

i can get in customs in 15m

and no 30m

[marsh wing]

WE ARE GETTING A FACTORY MAP ON ARENA

@raw nest FACTORY MAP IN ARENA

THE SCAVS ARE WORKING ON THE BATHROOM

[raw nest]

Any leaks on BP?

[marsh wing]

none that im aware of

[raw nest]

Cause we gotta wait another 3 weeks

[candid brook]

I have a spare if you still need it lol

Has anyone ever seen Gus shoot his underbarrel GL? he spawns with it alot it seems but I've never had him fire it off

nikita posted a pic himself

and why wouldnt they add a factory map to go along with the tac map?

we got a dorms map to go along with the customs tac map

[dense sentinel]

I finally managed to get one last night which was sweet, I just wish we could barter or buy more pkp receivers as that optic mount seated further back vs up front on the pkm is nice.

[shy ermine]

Are marked rooms still buffed?

[dense sentinel]

yup, its in the patch notes

[shy ermine]

Nice

[dense sentinel]

use them keys if you got em

pulled a black and violet labs card outta abandoned factory earlier while killing kaban

[grim jungle]

Does Killa wander or anything? I have a good route that covers a lot of spawns but I'm only finding him in like 30% of raids

I'm nading shallow left and right side of Idea, down towards Brutal, mid Goshan, Sushi, shallow part of Oli, then Deep Oli

[west mist]

hmmmm, can anyone suggest any notable improvements to my Mk 16 build? other than putting a less in the way flashlight on it #weapon-modding message

[raw nest]

He has 5 big spawns: Oli, Goshan, Idea, Kiba and big glass.

[raw nest]

Change grip for ergo and different muzzle device

[grim jungle]

What's big glass?

[onyx depot]

why are you running an IR collimator?

[west mist]

i have no idea what a collimator is, but i digress, you are the first to notice that that i know of

[onyx depot]

the IR designator

[west mist]

also i wonder what to ise instead of this for a muzzel device, its got pretty good stats overall

[willow stump]

anyone done huntsman path evil watchman, howd you do it? they just arent showing up to the dorms for me

[gentle pulsar]

the laser device on the top rail i guess is what they mean

but it has a green laser, more than just IR

[west mist]

the one that was on there is just IR

i switched it to hybrid just now

[onyx depot]

it's primarily used as an IR system.. but why run it anyway? rather run a DBAL

[gentle pulsar]

cus it looks cooler than a DBAL and for its current position is better cus its so flat

but its a niche, and im also pretty sure a vast majority of lasers/flashlights have two different modes except the ring-mounted flashlights, or the big Klesch one

[onyx depot]

looks wise, yes

[gentle pulsar]

DBAL i use often too, but other times i like using the laser designator thats off-center mounted

[west mist]

huh, cqb comp is nice for recoil but baaaad for ergo

[gentle pulsar]

IR stuff does still give you hipfire accuracy buff so

buuut thats like unused in pve

[onyx depot]

what? how?

[west mist]

also ppl keep saying switch to ergo grip, what in gods name is ergo grip

[onyx depot]

search it..

[west mist]

do they mean like, the F1 St2?

[onyx depot]

its the used irl for PRS

[grim jungle]

There's a grip called Ergo
It's black and has a thick plate on the bottom
Same style as the AGS-74 grip

[gentle pulsar]

all flashlights give hipfire accuracy buff
even the IR flashlights do

infact they're the best because people cant see them during the day, and you still get hipfire accuracy
again tho, pve defeats the purpose of using it cus they dont react to lights anyways

IR lasers are still there, they just cant be seen

[onyx depot]

[west mist]

great, now my gun has an ugly bit of butt stock on the grip

[onyx depot]

i didnt know it gave a buff for using it.. thats interesting.

[west mist]

anything beat the cobra for foregrips?

[gentle pulsar]

its how people are so good at pointfiring, hitting headshots without ever aiming down sights

just slap an IR flashlight then it's all up to practice

[grim jungle]

Yeah it's not my favorite but it's best for stats
Honetly there's so little difference in stats now, so if you wanna change for looks that's fine as long as it's not a huge difference
The Gral is still my fav

[gentle pulsar]

ive personally never used IR anything in pve unless its night time raids with nvgs

[gusty whale]

I'm looking now, can't find anything on wiki about it, maybe he means just being able to see the laser helps hipfire?

[west mist]

ok, so afg better for recoil, cobra better for ergo

[onyx depot]

yeah i also wanna know if it's an actual in game stat buff or just coz you can see the light

[gentle pulsar]

no?
all flashlights and lasers provide a hipfire accuracy buff, it's an unlabeled stat that has been tested in game via spraying into the side of a wall with and without a flashlight

even an IR flashlight, during the day, gives the buff

and cannot be seen

[gusty whale]

Can you point me in the direction of someone who's done the testing?

[gentle pulsar]

id have to find the video but sure

[gusty whale]

Nws, I'm interested to see it

[onyx depot]

not if you wear nods during the day! #fivehead

[vale atlas]

I'm assuming its not an moa buff and its more of a stability buff?

Because the bullets should just go where barrel point, right?

[gentle pulsar]

it does nothing if you aim, so its not MOA related

[gentle pulsar]

basically yeah, stability fits well

[vale atlas]

Yeah i'm just trying to figure out how its actually helping lol

Yeah that tracks

[west mist]

aight, so what flashlight do i put on here, just like, a klesch-2p?

need to be able to see in the dark without igniting the sun

[gentle pulsar]

yeah, thats the most common one i use

[west mist]

and not lose too much ergo XD

[gentle pulsar]

that or DBAL

[vale atlas]

I always use the klesch myself, the others increase visibility about 5 feet ahead lol

[onyx depot]

will adding more lasers give you more buffs? asking for a friend

[vale atlas]

• 3 cool points

+4 if you use all 3 colours

[gentle pulsar]

i dont think so, thats why its interesting

having one makes it really good, then having more is just redundant

if you know the blue laser one

skier level 1, it does the same as the best laser in the game

[stiff scaffold]

tarkov is so badly optimized that it crashed both the game and my discord as well

[gentle pulsar]

ones just visible ones not

[west mist]

yo where's the bandage pack instead of just 1

[vale atlas]

This has been happening to me since the update

[onyx depot]

#screenshots message

style points?

[vale atlas]

I lost a couple of awkward quest completions because i tabbed out while laying down in the train in reserve lol

[stiff scaffold]

for me its because I went to do a scav run on pvp on customs

[west mist]

like, a dozen bandages would easily fit in a flat pocket, i have done it

[stiff scaffold]

spawned with 13 minutes remaining because it took me 5 minutes to load into the raid

[distant obsidian]

Where the fuck did the notification tab on mobile discord go. Ffs this app keeps getti g worse

[distant obsidian]

Surely tomorrow

Fuck, found it.

[marsh wing]

you think we getting a factory map to go with tac map or nah?

Big glass in the middle of the mall from the front

[gentle pulsar]

[onyx depot]

it's a winner right?

[gentle pulsar]

@gusty whale i found the video but its super old so imma do my own testing on it

[gentle pulsar]

mf treating lasers like the infinity stones

Blue, Red, Green..

[gusty whale]

Fair play, I'll try myself too, will be interesting if it does

[gentle pulsar]

sounds good, i plan on going to factory with blue laser, flashlight, and IR flashlight
swap em out each burst and see what the hipfire looks like compared to nothing

[gusty whale]

Ye I'll probs try a laser directly mounted, one on a 2.5 inch mount and one on a ring mount too

[onyx depot]

They call me Thanos!

[gentle pulsar]

if you fuck up range finding with that, we're gonna have a talk

i dont even know how you managed that

[west mist]

locked rooms have been shadow nerfed

[thorn token]

That looks more like a cannon

[onyx depot]

i can range find you to 4 decimal places 😂

[west mist]

2 marked rooms and pkpts dropped nothing

??events

[quasi apex]

There are no ongoing events at this time.

[stiff scaffold]

yeah second raid and the game crashed on me. at least I killed the goons before the game crashed but im afraid i'll get killed by a scav by the time I reconnect

[night echo]

can any1 give me 2 virtexs? ive been looking for em for like 5 days and still didnt find any

[dreamy mantle]

have not had the game crash on me since i started playing in 2020, but a buddy of mine had issues, turned out to be a failing memory stick

[stiff scaffold]

get pkpts key for reserve

that key gives virtexes and COFMDs

[night echo]

im 5 lvls off in the flea

[stiff scaffold]

it also crashed my whole pc because scaving nukes your memory for some reason

[stiff scaffold]

ah damn your best bet is trying to find it on a a jacket or on a scav

[night echo]

ye

[west mist]

dang, not a single keycard from a full reserve loop, VO had 7 guns and 2 MGT and that was it

[distant obsidian]

Naw

[dreamy mantle]

@night echo wish i could help but you cant even discard it in raid

[night echo]

cant u throw them away with a backpack?

[dreamy mantle]

i mean, im down to try

[distant obsidian]

What are you trying to drop?

[night echo]

u wanna run quick factory?

[night echo]

virtex

[distant obsidian]

Read the item. It says if it can be dropped or not

[night echo]

ye but like with a backpack

[distant obsidian]

If you can't stop it, you can't drop a bag with it lol

[marsh wing]

it still trashes it

it will tell you when you try to drop the bag that the items will be destroyed

[distant obsidian]

You can't do ig with a bag lol. It will give you an error saying you can't drop the bag with a protected item in it

[night echo]

what if u die tho can some1 loot u?

[distant obsidian]

What do you need a vortex for?

[manic pewter]

No

[marsh wing]

no it lets you, it just gives you a warning before hand

[distant obsidian]

No. It disappears

[marsh wing]

still doesnt work

[manic pewter]

Literally says in the item description what happens 😭

[marsh wing]

this is literally the definition of boosting isnt it?

[distant obsidian]

Yes lol. This is all anti boosting and rmt protection

Also what do you need a vortex for.

[placid jetty]

Anyone got a PKP for Gunsmith pt 25? Don't feel like gambling with Kaban

[stiff scaffold]

to be fair the reserve marked keys have more guns that other marked rooms

specially VO

and PKPM

[manic pewter]

Youll have to gamble

[distant obsidian]

Fuck guns in marked rooms

[manic pewter]

Not that thats a downside, kaban is one of the most fun boss fights

[distant obsidian]

I would rather they removed all the guns from marked rooms. Rather see an empty room then wasting time throwing the guns out of my way

[marsh wing]

accurate

i take all the guns out of chek and throw them in the hallway so i can scan the floor

[stiff scaffold]

for me its the fact that you can find garbage guns on marked rooms

like a toz

[distant obsidian]

Yep. Annoying

[stiff scaffold]

why even put that there lmfao

[manic pewter]

Best gun in the game wdym

[distant obsidian]

Haha ya

[stiff scaffold]

I know its the best one but imagine finding one, 2 rounder mag and you don't have the ammo for it

finally reached level 30 and now I can get the damn armored case unlocked but gotta wait 11 hours

[vale atlas]

Lmao i felt like i was going too far doing this

But lets be honest how many sigs do we really need

Any tips on finding a evasion armband for Collector?

[safe pine]

loot every jacket u see

[orchid panther]

literally search everything, I've found mine on the static dead scavs/pmcs on maps, weapon boxes, bags

[gentle pulsar]

ive found mine in those barrel stashes hidden around some maps, so they literally can be anywhere

just be thorough for long enough

[orchid panther]

its unfortunate because now that you are actively searching for it, it's gonna feel like forever

[neat spoke]

Funny thing, i found one early wipe. But forgot about Kappa!!!

[orchid panther]

same here with my first run. Took me like a week to find another one and I found it on a static dead pmc in the labyrinth. Now with my second run, I found one early on and kept it safe lol

[neat spoke]

Im justa bout to enter Labyrinth... so fingers crossed

[ivory vigil]

allo, anyone else getting constantly booted from the labyrinth?

what great timing lmao

[neat spoke]

Cant answer, just loading into first raid in Labyrinth. Ive ran out of M993 so having to use 545 BS... not sure if its good enough.

[ivory vigil]

i think it will be good enough, especially if you abuse corners

[stiff scaffold]

quick question im sitting ducks at WTP

ags has infinite ammo?

the damn rogue sees me through the wall but im safe

[vale atlas]

Ai has infinite ammo in general

[stiff scaffold]

so AGS also counts

well shit, they got off so im safe for now

[candid brook]

I am doing the 50PMC elims on streets for lightkeeper so i have a bunch of them left over, lmk if anyone else needs one for gunsmith 25 lol

[safe kestrel]

hello !
am i the only one that got the feeling goons never spawn on custom ?
I tried, forteress, panda, crackhouse

Even for cultist, i've got the same feeling. I didn't find them in 30 raids 🙁

[velvet vine]

i'm late but PK-PTS key on Reserve is the only reliable source i've found

[orchid panther]

they rotate throughout maps, they can be customs, lighthouse, woods, and shoreline

[merry veldt]

Did they remove the craft for PS12B?

[safe kestrel]

that mecanics is over now since the last update no ?

[candid brook]

you can occasionally in labs, also labrinth isnt the worst to find them

[velvet vine]

yeah but risk/reward is way better for PK

[orchid panther]

I'm pretty sure it's still a thing, I think they are on Lighthouse rn

[candid brook]

true, you might have ammo pen problems in the labrinth that early on lol

[safe kestrel]

Well, i will check then. But i got the same problem with cultists.

[orchid panther]

cultist spawn chance is low in general, it's rare

[upbeat osprey]

they do, but it's very lame now. Basically it seems like they have a % chance to spawn in ANY location they can spawn in at any time

[orchid panther]

I think it's like 30% or less depending on the map

[upbeat osprey]

I've been farming goons for the last few weeks and it's pain and suffering. Not the killing them part, just finding them

[stiff scaffold]

bugged rogue on an MG

I hope he isn't a problem otherwise he's gonna blast me

[safe kestrel]

so you mean they can't spawn at everywhere on the map ?

[upbeat osprey]

they have set spawn areas

[orchid panther]

For example, on customs they only spawn between 22:00-7:00 at the barracks

and I think it's like a 25% chance they spawn in the first place

[safe kestrel]

ho yeah, i farmed them a lot, they can spawn at stronghold, panda building, around old gaz station, crackhouse, and between crack house and RUAF exit

[fleet loom]

my hideouts bugged and im permanently zoomed

[safe kestrel]

but i can't find them since 1 week now

[fleet loom]

lol

[orchid panther]

It's just how it is sometimes, you'll go like 20 raids without seeing them or you see them every night raid

It's just random

[lapis blade]

they hide till they can tickle you from behind

[upbeat osprey]

sounds like bs

I've killed them plenty of times there at dayyime

[lapis blade]

nope thats possible

scavs, bosses or guards are not comparable to cultists

[safe kestrel]

except the priest no ? He just run randomly around his spawn

[lapis blade]

they only spawn at night at the hours he said

[orchid panther]

it was probably 5:00 something

[lapis blade]

no hes the cultist preist

cultist

[onyx depot]

@gentle pulsar does the IR laser have to be on?

[upbeat osprey]

never heard of that whole night time spawning thing

[gentle pulsar]

yeah, all devices have to be on in order to recieve the buff

[upbeat osprey]

and at least before patch I was able to farm them for a full day when they were still roaming

[gentle pulsar]

you can get the same affect from a blue laser, IR flashlights are just best cus of PvP

cant see them so easy

[orchid panther]

idk what to tell ya, cultists only spawn at night lol

[upbeat osprey]

I'm talking about goons

wtf

[fleet loom]

damnit i just realized i used the whole pkpm key without thinkin\

[neat spoke]

Yeah. It smashed them...

[orchid panther]

we've been talkin about cultists lol

[upbeat osprey]

no, I have been responding to this guy asking about goons

[neat spoke]

They all pushed, so i was sat there with a NL and a 95 rnd drum mag

[neat spoke]

If your after goons, check woods, Seen them a few times

Not seen them on Shoreline for a while

[fleet loom]

well not everyones talkin to u

[upbeat osprey]

if it's the same as people say I'd prefer them on customs

[neat spoke]

Cultists, i havent seen this wipe yet...

[upbeat osprey]

much smaller map

[lapis blade]

also lighthouse, they spawn a lot in rouge camp and chalet

[upbeat osprey]

woods I will spend 15 minutes just running around :D

[fleet loom]

good str xp

[safe kestrel]

i was talking about goons and cultist lel it's okay

[upbeat osprey]

also, much safer to engage them on customs

woods is too risky

and I'm not trying to level strength, I'm trying to get goons GL

[stiff scaffold]

goons are on LH

[upbeat osprey]

so if the chance is the same across all maps, then customs is more efficient

[stiff scaffold]

just saying

[upbeat osprey]

ppl here insist they are not "on" any location anymore

[stiff scaffold]

mmm they aren't anymore?

I thought they kept the usual rotation

[upbeat osprey]

that's what a bunch of people have claimed

that they don't roam now

[orchid panther]

I thought so too, I don't see anything in the patch notes saying they don't roam

[willow tinsel]

Barracks?

[orchid panther]

I meant stronghold

[stiff scaffold]

according to goon tracker they are indeed in LH

[willow tinsel]

ahh i see

[upbeat osprey]

scroll down and look at the history

goontracker is a mess atm

[lapis blade]

me in lighthouse rn, but also me having no worries because im on the island XD

cant reach me here

[safe kestrel]

Well i don't know if it's a mess but i indeed found them on LH. After 30 raids without founding them on customs

[upbeat osprey]

well, scroll down to the report history

people have been reporting them all over the place sometimes minutes apart

[candid brook]

yeah i think they still sometimes have their weird mount on the MG where they are floating and will moonwalk across the map if you hit them lol

[stiff scaffold]

the rogue was just idling but dead in the MG

shot him multiple times in the head and he didnt move so I assume he was dead

[upbeat osprey]

but I guess I'll try to wait for them to shift to customs and see

[stiff scaffold]

and yeah I walked by to test it and he didn't shoot so it was a visual bug

[candid brook]

ohh yeah on streets the guards will do that as well, its freaky but will keep other guards from using it lol

[upbeat osprey]

I know before it was pretty reliable

[stiff scaffold]

just try going to LH just in case

[upbeat osprey]

like tracker would show customs, and I would get solid 5 or so raids with goons every time

[stiff scaffold]

already reported 3 times in less than half an hour that they are in LH

[upbeat osprey]

yeah, I heard you

I'll wait for customs then

do some quests meanwhile

[stiff scaffold]

oh well apparently they were just spotted in customs just now so

give it a shot

[upbeat osprey]

which tracker are you looking at?

nvm, I think the same, mine just showed customs too

well, let's see

[neat spoke]

PVE or PVP?

[upbeat osprey]

we are in pve chat

[stiff scaffold]

pve

[upbeat osprey]

so I assume he was talking about pve

[stiff scaffold]

yeah I just got off from LH, I didn't spot them in WTP so they either rotated or they were at blue chalet

and I did hear some gunshots in blue chalet cause I spawned right under it

[willow tinsel]

Thats just you hitting 30% 5 times in a row, I did shoreline, woods and customs consecutively and met them all 3 times

On each of those maps

[candid brook]

so you need to check what map it is and then also hit a % now?

[upbeat osprey]

well, we'll see soon if it's all bs or not :P

[willow tinsel]

How are u gonna test that theory other than get lucky like me and get them consecutively on each map

[night echo]

Yall what's dorm room 314 key. I've seen it on flea and its pretty expensive

[willow tinsel]

It's literally right there as proof

[upbeat osprey]

afaik they always had a low base chance to spawn everywhere

[stiff scaffold]

marked key

[upbeat osprey]

but high chance when roaming at a certain location

[willow tinsel]

No

[upbeat osprey]

so you could be just lucky

[night echo]

Can I get some good loot from the dorm? I got the key from fence

[stiff scaffold]

what

[willow tinsel]

They can spawn at 2 maps while transitioning yes

[night echo]

Yea

[stiff scaffold]

uhhh bunch of keycards

some weapons

[willow tinsel]

When that was a thing

[lapis blade]

oh did you snipe a dorms marked key

[stiff scaffold]

chance of bitcoins and valuables overall

[night echo]

Y3a

[stiff scaffold]

how much was it?

[night echo]

There was a rusted bloody key too

[night echo]

1m

[lapis blade]

nicee you saved yourself like 14mil

[stiff scaffold]

sheesh you got a godly pull dude

nicely done

[upbeat osprey]

anyhow, we'll see

[night echo]

Damn i didnt think it would he that good lmao

[upbeat osprey]

if I get a bunch of solid runs on customs now, it would prove that they do roam still

[night echo]

Its 10 uses too

[stiff scaffold]

didn't know this one could be sold but that key can give marked keys as well but it's on streets

[candid brook]

you can get that from marked room?

[stiff scaffold]

it is considered the best marked key and the most iconic one I think

[night echo]

Ye I think so

[night echo]

Damn thats good

[willow tinsel]

You do you Mercer, its just a waste of time when you have literally people seeing them on different maps at the same time

[candid brook]

I am too scared of dying before I get to use my only one i found off a dead scav still for that mechanic mission lol

[night echo]

Can I get weapon cases from there? I would need some lmao

[lapis blade]

very rarely, its mostly doc cases, injector and money, sometimes ammo

[stiff scaffold]

just rush it and ignore everything around you and of course don't go near the dealership to avoid getting sniped by the AGS

[night echo]

Docs is good enough

[stiff scaffold]

I think you can't get weapon cases out of marked keys anymore

it was for events only

[lapis blade]

i havent personally seen a wep case random loot on dorms, ive opened it prob 30 to 40 times now

those event ones i remember, but no reg wep cases

[candid brook]

yeah all the marked rooms held one during the smuggler event it seems

[night echo]

Alr

[upbeat osprey]

how's that a waste of time if it literally changes nothing in what I'm doing?

[stiff scaffold]

I have one of those cases on me but I can't open them

even I found keys and still can't use them

[upbeat osprey]

if they roam - I go to customs and check them. If they don't roam - I still go to customs and check them

[lapis blade]

did you unlock the ability to unlock the case in your hideout

its a workbench craft

[night echo]

Ye I've seen sth that u gotta craft a case from the event case

Then youll be able to open it

[stiff scaffold]

I have no idea tbh

[willow tinsel]

Brother, thats like me submitting a sight on them on customs, then you go to customs and they spawn, ofc they do, because that's one of their maps, and when they spawn on every map they're spawning in its a no shit Sherlock moment

[stiff scaffold]

I got back to tarkov on the last day of the event I think

right before the cultists spawns were nerfed I got a few marked keys

[upbeat osprey]

I said if I get a bunch of good raids

cause my experience from a week ago also aligns with roaming

[willow tinsel]

So you just gonna spam 1 map and call it a day?

[upbeat osprey]

I mean, if you are right that it doesn't matter what map I spam, might as well spam the fastest

[willow tinsel]

Yea

[lapis blade]

not all good things are fast unfortunately

just because you only want customs doesnt mean theyre gonna wait at fort for you on a silver platter

[upbeat osprey]

I mean, that's how statistics work, if it's the same chance for them to spawn on any of the maps you want to optimize for more attempts

[lapis blade]

do you dog, ive been running into them on lighthouse all day

an extra 4 mins of running instead of 4 raids without seeing them, pretty easy choice

[willow tinsel]

What are you even saying Zerky

[distant obsidian]

What?

[lapis blade]

its getting ignorant seeing him only want goons on customs when they spawn multiple places, all because the map is a little bigger

[distant obsidian]

30% on LH and customs. Math says you run the map that's the quickest, which is customs

[upbeat osprey]

so are you arguing that they have higher chance on lighthouse?

[distant obsidian]

It's 30% on LH to

[upbeat osprey]

or are you just saying "I don't like that you farm them on customs"

[distant obsidian]

With 2 spawns. Takes longer to find and kill on LH

Customs is always better

[lapis blade]

i didnt say that at all, im saying, you want goons, theyve been spawning almost every raid at chalet

[distant obsidian]

Rng my dude

[upbeat osprey]

so then you are implying they have a higher chance on Lighthouse

good we have established that

[lapis blade]

no thats simply how you are choosing to take it

[distant obsidian]

Fucking American math showing here lol

[willow tinsel]

I mean, they would do the same as if u ran customs, its just rng

[upbeat osprey]

you are trying to play dumb bro

[lapis blade]

def not but go off twin

[upbeat osprey]

you can't both state "they spawn on chalet all the time" and "I'm not implying they are spawning on lighthouse more"

[distant obsidian]

That's exactly what you are implying

[upbeat osprey]

sime serious little bro energy

[lapis blade]

no wonder people complain about yall so much lmfao

[upbeat osprey]

go be emotional somewhere else bruv

[lapis blade]

go gripe about the goons to someone who cares

[upbeat osprey]

I was just responding to someone asking about goons, what's your problem

[lapis blade]

look upon my field that is barren, growing all my care

[willow tinsel]

Ok ok lets move on to next topic, you grind them where you want end of topic

[bronze saddle]

so are lighthouse and woods gonna remain as server based? yeesh

[distant obsidian]

For now

It will change when it changes

[safe kestrel]

all i was saying first is i've got the feeling goons never spawn on customs after i did 30 raids and never got them

[lethal garnet]

hi!! welcome to OEFT!

[safe kestrel]

guess i'm just unlucky lol

[distant obsidian]

Yes

[bronze saddle]

well off to labs i guess.... to plant some USB shit and find some papers for the quest lines

[distant obsidian]

Were you on servers glad?

[upbeat osprey]

that seems to be the case

rng be rng

so far I'm inclined to agree wtih what Rhys was saying about no roaming

[safe kestrel]

good question, i will check it, does that change something ?

[distant obsidian]

Well, if he has like 1 server selected and we're on servers. Unless it was a goon server, he was never going to see them

Give me a moment and I'll explain

[upbeat osprey]

if you want bosses try going local

they seem to spawn a lot more on local

[safe kestrel]

i was on local server i guess, i didn't cross the option to play on BSG servers on custom

[lapis blade]

pro gamer move to fix your problem, clear your cache, itll surely work

[safe kestrel]

i will try, but guess it's just i'm unlucky. I did one raid on LH and i found them

and they gave me shitty ammo of course.

[west mist]

bro

[distant obsidian]

Ok, so how boss spawns actually work on servers is it's the boss percent is not the spawn chance, it's the amount of servers that HAVE that boss on it. But there are variables we don't know, so that's why we do g have a server tracker. On local it's a flat chance when you start the raid

[west mist]

i stg i am gonna delete mauzer and his buddy from the game, why do they have eagle eyes and deadshot me with the GL the moment i round a corner

[distant obsidian]

So say, you were on customs servers, and only have 1 server selected. Unless it's a server with the boss, you'll never see him. Now bosses do "rotate" servers most likely.

[stiff scaffold]

damn pmcs are not spawning in the office area at all man

they don't rotate

[distant obsidian]

Hence why 1 server may not have a boss for hours, then bosses all the time

But again, we can't track server at all. To many variables we do t know. Hence why we say it's just 30% and go ham

But servers can SEEM more inconsistent with streaks. Where as local is flat chance

[bronze saddle]

fuck off with shooting my legs when only my torso is visible, this shit is getting annoying

[distant obsidian]

Means your legs were visible, or the cover was able to be penned

[upbeat osprey]

I was on local at least when I did my farming

[vale atlas]

They're outright trying to shoot us through some walls now where they definitely shouldn't be lol

[upbeat osprey]

but very interesting info

[vale atlas]

Silly ai

[queen arrow]

anyone want to play?

[distant obsidian]

Local farming is my preference to

[queen arrow]

im pretty new coming from 1000 hours in ABI though

[distant obsidian]

#pve-lfg

[queen arrow]

thanks

[distant obsidian]

AI have a kind of bloom

[upbeat osprey]

I like that there's no latency (which is good going against goons) and if you CTD/lag you won't just die offscreen more or less

[distant obsidian]

So ye,ls, rng can roll a bullet lower and it can pen light cover into your leg

[upbeat osprey]

well, also could be just MOA rng

some scav guns have big moa

[distant obsidian]

AI bullets do not travel from the barrel like player bullets

[upbeat osprey]

and tarkov MOA is even bigger than irl

ah

[vale atlas]

No i'm aware of t hat its just i've noticed on several occasions now that bullets are impacting the wall right where my head would be, but on the other side of the wall

[distant obsidian]

It's X2. Close range moa never matter

[fleet loom]

glukar refuses to show his face to my mjolnir

[vale atlas]

I dont think the AI realises there is a wall there at times lol

[upbeat osprey]

welp, I guess just AI bs then

[tired portal]

my flashlight is broken. it wont stay on. i checked the keybinding and there is no drop down for press, release, ect. I cleared cache, deleted logs, took the light on and off the gun. Any ideas?

[distant obsidian]

Ricochet?

[vale atlas]

Nope repeated hits, its like the wall isn't there

[distant obsidian]

#community-support

[distant obsidian]

Ah.

[vale atlas]

You'll notice it happening more with this patch lol

[upbeat osprey]

AI has been doing all sorts of weird stuff tbh

like scavs having ESP

sometimes they will just walk right past you without noticing

sometimes they will spot you through the wall and on a different floor

[distant obsidian]

All AI have that to some extent

[stiff scaffold]

the rogues did try to shoot the AGS at me while I was behind a wall so yeah its been weird lately

[vale atlas]

All AI knows where we are at all times, but they're coded to pretend otherwise

They just seem to be forgetting to pretend more

Something to do with how they determine object collision/sightlines

[safe kestrel]

got the same feeling at the AGS on Kaban spawn

[upbeat osprey]

I know

just saying it's always been this way kinda

AI always had done some unhinged stuff here and there :D

yeah nah, I'm fairly sure "roaming" does not affect local servers at least anymore, if it ever had

and tracker is back to saying every location they spawn in

[marsh wing]

okay, guess im fighting goons

[west mist]

i love the goons

[fickle arch]

Can PMC take BTR on streets ? I just got shot at by the BTR...

[west mist]

one day they run at me one by one and look at the floor so i can shoot em in the top of the helmet, the next day i catch a stray bullet to the skull from three miles away

[marsh wing]

killed knight without knowing it was knight. Then birdeye rushed

[west mist]

you shot it by accident

[marsh wing]

cant find pipe

[west mist]

pipe coulda died to a pmc

[fickle arch]

if you shoot at it, it fires back ? I had no idea...

[west mist]

if you hit the btr it will gun you down without mercy

he has 250 round box mags and a will to kill

[safe kestrel]

shame !

[west mist]

dont you love when an ai gunner on a mounted GL onetaps you before you hear the gun fire?

[marsh wing]

i was in building 1 on LH. Threw a nade to voice check, heard something, then they ran towards me, i dropped him when he rounded the corner and realized it was Knight. Then birdeye yelled and rushed through a doorway on the opposite end of the building, dropped him immediately

never heard or saw big pipe

NEVERMIND

THAT FUCKER WAS ON TOP OF BUILDING 2

#screenshots message

DAMNIT

[safe kestrel]

"Hehe my friends got killed, that was a nice view"

[marsh wing]

no he died first

[safe kestrel]

ho

you tought it was a common rogue?

[marsh wing]

yeah, he was on top of building 2 near the Mounted guns

[upbeat osprey]

good job with the goons :D

[marsh wing]

it was a night raid and i didnt see a single rouge

[upbeat osprey]

yeah, they sometimes do weird stuff

90% of the time for me they rush me one after another, but the other 10% weird stuff happens

[marsh wing]

3 60rd mags from birdeye though it nice

[upbeat osprey]

dam, not bad

[marsh wing]

i didnt take a single point of damage that raid

[upbeat osprey]

that's a good raid

[marsh wing]

77 dura WTS deagle :(

[upbeat osprey]

maybe should start doing more night raids tbh, since NVGs are on insurance once more

[safe kestrel]

lol yeah, one time i killed pipe and knight, and birdeye tried to get around me by crawling in the bushes even though I had a visual of him 20m away from me

that was the first time i saw an IA crawling on the floor

[upbeat osprey]

jeez, some of these spawns are toxic

got shot by PMC 5 seconds after spawn

[marsh wing]

i was literally only doing LH to unlock M80 buy

[upbeat osprey]

not dead but wtf :D

[sudden lance]

shoreline shenanigans

[west mist]

guyyyyyyyyys

why the fuck, do these GL guards have eagle eyes

[frozen kayak]

John's Heir achivement possible in pve?

[upbeat osprey]

was customs lol

3 pmc stack, killed them all now

[safe kestrel]

you mean bird eyes ?

[west mist]

if it was birdeye sure, but its karas n whatever the other guy's name is

[upbeat osprey]

atl I got some class 6 plates for my trouble

ceramic, but they are pristine

[stiff scaffold]

sounds easy to do in pve specifically if you ask me

[west mist]

i cannot cross the godforsaken road on streets, without being instantly blown up by a grenade launcher, and it is going to be the end of my sanity

[final mountain]

run through abondoned factory or concordia

[frozen kayak]

I thought so untill I killed 5 headshots and nothing happened

[odd oak]

Can bitcoin spawn in overseer

[west mist]

i just wish i didnt have to avoid an entire section of the map on penalty of instant death from full hp with full lvl 6 armor

[final mountain]

then just nade and kill em all 😄

[west mist]

that would work

if they didnt do it first, the frame i come into sight

[final mountain]

dont be in sight.. throw a m67 when ure behind the bus when u push from car extract

[upbeat osprey]

that's just how it be, adds spice to the game

you don't get to go to certain areas without having to take measures to make them safe (er)

AGS is dangerous

as it should be :P

[west mist]

yes, but deadeye hits me in the teeth the frame i've rounded the corner?

[final mountain]

yea happend me too... some u get tarkoved 😄

sometimes

[west mist]

sometimes

the last 12 times i've been to streets

consecutively

[final mountain]

then you have to change something up

[west mist]

yes

i will have to change ever having line of sight to that gunner

because line of sight means instant death to the teeth

the guys who lob grenades have leauges better accuracy than the designated snipers who literally hold position the entire playthrough

[vale atlas]

I'm 5 minutes into this raid and i just realised my gun didn't have a mag in it

[tidal flame]

[fiery musk]

I'm just running around night factory bullying tagilla and I finally got a cultist spawn where there was no one else on the map, just the 2 warriors and priest. Never had no scavs or pmc before that

[frozen kayak]

any reason the game isnt proc ing the achivement for 4pmc headshot kills with pistol 8 kills no achivement

[vale atlas]

Why would fence even want FiR mayonaisse

[wintry cobalt]

Correct

[upbeat osprey]

that I agree could be improved :D

I just really hope we don't get the monkey paw kind of improvements

like with underbarrel nade nerfs

[stiff scaffold]

well, lovely to have the worst fps drops in history (literally to 0) and then die 1 minute into raid by a pmc

and nikita wonders why ppl shit in this game

[lapis blade]

i cant redeem anything \

tarkov has been weird today

[stiff scaffold]

im done with this game for today, losing a kit and a whole pack of 7n40 is just not it

[lapis blade]

ouch not the 7n40

[median frigate]

where did you even die?
noth side of lexOS?

[low imp]

good to know. I would've gotten on the list for Savior ending if it wasn't for those damn COFDMs

HOLY SHIT I GOT 2 OF THEM FROM CULTIST CIRCLE

[velvet vine]

yip e

[low imp]

also tf happened to bitcoin's price lol

they were about 1m when i last played

[odd oak]

Based off irl price

[low imp]

they haven't done that since before 12.12 iirc because bitcoins were like 17-20m+ per

[odd oak]

They have been like 800-500k recently

I was told it’s based off the irl price

[low imp]

yeah it hasn't been for a LONG time

because they were legit like 20+ mill at one point and it literally giga fucked the wipe

I remember people having 3b+ that wipe running labs

[odd oak]

Wiki says so still so

[manic pewter]

How would they have 3b if the rouble count only goes to 2.147 billion

[odd oak]

Ohhh damn

[manic pewter]

BTC in game now are about 0.1 irl BTC

[low imp]

you can have a lot more than that iirc

[odd oak]

Ahhh fair

[manic pewter]

No, unless you want a negative number as a result of the rouble count hitting the 32bit integer limit

[low imp]

hell the old max was 50b if you used a thicc case + sicc case since each thicc case can hold 98 sicc cases

[manic pewter]

I suppose people can have more than that limit, but you wont really know the exact amount unless you add all of them together

Money cases iirc were also added after the btc were toned down to being 0.1 btc

[low imp]

i know back in 2020 someone did hit the integer limit and it crashed the game (iirc BSG did raise the integer limit)

[low imp]

yeah they also kinda decoupled it from the IRL price as well when they did that because BTC were 20m per

[manic pewter]

Aswell as the fact 500k was the rouble stack limit

[manic pewter]

The integer limit is still 32bit as people were quick to break it on PvE

[low imp]

that wipe was fucking insane

[odd oak]

What’s everyone’s favorite weapon to kill rogues and shit on lighthouse

[fervent drift]

Anything

[west mist]

i think i killed one pmc twice

[fleet loom]

ive killed the same dude 3 times in the same raid b4

[gusty reef]

Preferably one that shoots bullets as the specs don't matter that much

[odd oak]

Fair

[gusty reef]

Last time I went I took an AK12 though if that helps

[fair dawn]

I feel like Kaban gives better loot in PvP than PvE... same with the other bosses ive been killing. maybe just bad PvE luck

[fleet loom]

one with decent moa and a scope
