[raw nest]

Uncheck the bsg server tick above the map while choosing one

[silk stirrup]

thank you sir

[raw nest]

Not all maps can be run off of local host

[wicked atlas]

yeah I couldnt figure how to barter for thermal goggles but it just just pay me money and here it is... thought would be a pain to barter for hehe

its always just in my stash on display haha

[pastel hull]

holy moly dead chat

[astral kindle]

Kinda normal as there isnt new content

[pastel hull]

45 mins of silence

[lethal path]

Anyone know a quick way to farm loot for baddies red beard cause since the beginning of wipe i cant find it anywhere and the den craft doesnt work for some reason

[astral kindle]

Den sacrice works only once as its unique and has chance to give beard oil and/or baddie beard, BEARs can spawn with beard and jackets or duffels can have it

[lethal path]

alright thanks for the info

[rare idol]

just got access to terminal, whats a good kit to go with for it?

[willow tinsel]

I'd recommend M4, but whatever you feel most comfortable with, it's just so you can refill by the amount of 5.56 ammo BD drops

T6 plates, you can usually find those on the white rig that BD drops

[rare idol]

yea i was thinking m4 or hk, how many mags u reckon? i was gonna take 8 60 rounders but its alot of weight

[willow tinsel]

Dont even bother with loose ammo, just take mags filled with ammo

dont bother with AFAKs aswell, you might only just need 1 or 2, rest is stims as you rather not lose time on animation

I took about the 8 - 10 mags

[rare idol]

aight, how many stims and which ones?

[willow tinsel]

ETG's, Zagustins, SJ6 is core imo

Just take 2 stim cases and fill them up

[stone harbor]

nah, just wanna be a dick for once, to see how it's felt like to be the one giving

[rare idol]

aighty

[jade saffron]

is it better to focus on light armors or heavy ?

[vague maple]

Yo hi! I did not played after the release of 1.0, did the game improved in performance for pve?

[stone harbor]

in what sense is considered an improvement to you?

[unborn knoll]

But to the people that work hard on the Wiki? We would be lost without them

[stone harbor]

I felt it was getting worse a bit for ppl with medium specs

[vague maple]

i mean stability, oor some fps, honestly any minor improvement in gameplay

[stone harbor]

I agree, I do not condone that action myself. I was acting like a dick for once.

[willow tinsel]

I'll DM you my loadout, you can change however you like, i just did it with what im about to send you

[vague maple]

I have a 1660super with i5-11400f and on street i managed to get 45-50fps and it was smooth tho.

[stone harbor]

you are playing on BSG server?

[rare idol]

okies

[vague maple]

It deepends. It deepends how my mood is because on BSG's i noticed that they are a way lot more action

but I got Losless scaling and I managed to get waaay more fps and stability with that. And i did not had latency at all. But when I played without it i had around 40-50

[cosmic patrol]

id say any 5.56 but make sure u get good pen against BD. Propitals, Zagustins, SJ6 and perfo are a must aswell since the end stretch has to be done in 3 minutes. Umm, take extra plates with you (BD can have plates but they are most likely kinda fucked already)

BD fight with SCAVs and RUAF too, so i wouldnt count much on BDs plates

[violet field]

Is there any way to get the ege of darkness edition

[dusky magnet]

No

[cosmic patrol]

hello encu

ency * man fuck my phone

[dusky magnet]

sup

[cosmic patrol]

how have you been rolling mr ency? how many wiki blamers have you encountered in the past 24 hours

[willow tinsel]

I mean yea unless the scavs and RUAF absolutely ruins their armor but most of the times you're gonna be alone with them and hopefully headtap everyone of them

[cosmic patrol]

U are alone with them only at 2 spots approx, and thats where u get the keycard and blow the gate. After the gate, SCAVs and RUAF both are contesting them

[willow tinsel]

very rare that BD loses that

i think i only had that happen twice, but all their armor was mostly intact anyway

[hasty dagger]

Usually Scavs and BDs are going after me.. which is pain in the ass, lol

[unborn knoll]

That's not an excuse at all.

[willow tinsel]

either way, 1 set of extra platings should suffice, theres plenty of times where you fight them alone

Right before pier for example

[hasty dagger]

Never had issue not taking plates from the stash realy, I always took them from them

[willow tinsel]

Right

[orchid loom]

Is it guaranteed that the rogues spawn at water treatment

I know that they can spawn in different ammounts but I literally dont see any in this raid

[hasty dagger]

Not always

From the start of 1.0, they were always there, but they got nerfed again.. (Easy farm at night)

[orchid loom]

I literally need one rogue kill and thers zero here this is so radical

[vale atlas]

totally gnarly

[hasty dagger]

Yep.. you have to reset

They were free farm, even when they got introduced, so they nerf them little by little (At the start, they had good AP ammo) Now they have ass ammo

[vale atlas]

oh i didn't know they could just not spawn at all?

[jolly bough]

Worst quest in pve tarkov Go

[vale atlas]

I always thought pmc's killed them

[vale atlas]

Ez, secure perimeter

[hasty dagger]

Yep

[willow tinsel]

theyve gona on vacation for me as soon as i got the task to kill 100 of them

[hasty dagger]

It´s an ass "nerf" realy

[vale atlas]

lmao yeah one of my more recent quests involved killing just 10, and i'd be infuriated by an apparent 0 of them

thought AI was just getting spicy but this explains it

[jolly bough]

As much as this quest was a pain in my behind i think return the favor takes the cake

[vale atlas]

Oh, you know what...

thats a hard one to argue against

[orchid loom]

Im blanking on the name but killing PMC's in dorms

ran through to marked keys literally running straight to dorms every raid and it took both of those keys all 20 uses

[hasty dagger]

Fck them kills on specific spots, let´s be real

[vale atlas]

I haven't had as much trouble as everyone else with that one, think my rng has just been good when i've meant to do those

[jolly bough]

I am asking cause i am now 1 away from doing return the favor and i want to know if this is litteraly the worst one in pve or not

[vale atlas]

I tend to find either a group of pmc's or a group of scavs/bosses if i spawn far away

If i spawn near it, only scav

I understand i've been lucky with dorms though lol, i see all the complaints

[jolly bough]

Dorms pmc kill quest was bad i will give you that one but still think the worst one is return the favor because of what bullshit you have to do to even have a chance to score a kill

[vale atlas]

😂

I'm not even trying to escape at this point

Can't get savior because you have to do arena and i just refuse

I will not be blackmailed into adding numbers to your shitty sideproject nikita

[hasty dagger]

Wait, realy ? 😄 Didn´t even know, lol

[jolly bough]

had no idea i had to do arena really?

[hasty dagger]

Force to play an Arena ? Just kill me at this point, lol

[jolly bough]

for what do i need to do in arena to get savior

[hasty dagger]

Dunno

[median frigate]

Did that while the cultist event on night factory was active

Pretty easy tbh

[vale atlas]

gotta be level 4 with the traders

[jolly bough]

oh

[hasty dagger]

Lmao

That will take days to do

[median frigate]

With ref too?

[hasty dagger]

Nice

[jolly bough]

so just do dailyes

[vale atlas]

Took me over a week to get all the stronghold kills lol

[hasty dagger]

That´s stupid as fck at this point

[jolly bough]

True

[orchid loom]

actually ykw Im gonna say escort even tho its alot easier since this is pve it took me 4 runs on shoreline to even see a PMC and I almost died to the goons 2 of those times

[vale atlas]

Well this sounds like the goal, but the one time i was actually prepared to do arena i ran into a chinese characters name who was magically only headshotting everyone and through walls

[jolly bough]

ref shouldnt be counted as a trader at all but whatever

[vale atlas]

i was immediately put off lol

[hasty dagger]

I did Savior ending, but I didn´t even know I had to have ref 4 (I had him, because of model 1 grind)

[vale atlas]

i uninstalled after that one match

[hasty dagger]

[vale atlas]

won't be trying again

[hasty dagger]

China N1 btw

[jolly bough]

Dont think arena is the worst thing to do. attleast you arent forced into the ref questline

[hasty dagger]

I would say you are 50/50 on it

[azure talon]

is reshala 100% rn?

[dusky magnet]

rather saw two very weird bugs relating to Terminal, one where the Alpha case doesn't come back, and one where the activated card used for crafts simply disappears. Makes one wonder how we got to 1.0

[jolly bough]

think

though he only has blickys

[azure talon]

i thought he would be, but i did a customs raid and didnt find him

[jolly bough]

Btw if you are mastering all weapons do blickys now when it does 25 dmg a disk

[median frigate]

Tbh i bought arena after the ref trial ran out bc its just free rewards and pretty easy run and gun (excluding teamfight and blast gang)

[azure talon]

idk maybe he was just hiding

[dusky magnet]

Nope, 75%, it hasn't changed with the event

[orchid loom]

honestly I dont hate arena enough to say its that bad BUT the interface for PVE and arena has been bugged since the new story quest dropped and the only response I was given was "Yea we know its an issue we dont have a fix"

[hasty dagger]

When we are gonna get PvE Arena mode.. OVERRUN these nuts ffs

[jolly bough]

yea arena isent hard. but it sure is annoying to get matched with idiots and have to do everything ontop of keeping track of where you are getting shot idk maybe i have a skill issue but think its fine so long as you arent down 1 player

[vale atlas]

I dont think i'd mind arena too much but since my first visit was with a clear hacker i just... no. They are why i stopped playing tarkov, i only came back for pve lol

[jolly bough]

Fair enough

57 points of elite strength finally got my Return the favor kill requirment. Fuck me i hated this shit

[loud raptor]

You returned it tho

[orchid loom]

what is going on??????

[jolly bough]

whats up?

[orchid loom]

I need ONE rouge kill on lighthouse and back to back raids not a single one has spawned???

[jolly bough]

back to back is crazy.

rouges have a Slight chance to not spawn at all

be sure to watch building 2 back gunner if you dont see any at all if all mechine posts are empty reset

[orchid loom]

yea Ik that theres a slight chance but even then each building has its own spawns and not a single one is here???

has anyone run lighthouse recently is this just bad luck?

[jolly bough]

2nd building back mechine gunner is the only one really hidden be sure to check that one

or front gate grenade launcher

[dense sentinel]

lol pushed into scav base to see about getting pmc kills for the outpost mission. I hear sprinting so i get ready for a pmc since i misheard the english voiceline and thought it was a regular usec pmc but nope birdeye tries sprinting across and i get him before knight and pipe turn around i got knight i should have dropped back behind the wall when big pipe started aiming his m60 at me but i stood there ego peeking and tried to get him with my m60 before he got me but i lost that fight like the idiot i was and ate a head top from him before i could do it to him with my m60 .

[mossy blade]

is the wiki also bugged for yall

also where do i find the parts for prapor for falling skies (the transcript)

[orchid loom]

does anyone know if BP boxes can be sold on the flea

[worthy otter]

Bugged how?

[mossy blade]

Error 503

Aka server not responding

[safe kestrel]

Grenadatu !

Hello everybody !

[dusky magnet]

Yes, looks like the host is having issues at the moment, other similar wikis are also not loading

It is usually resolved fairly quickly

[mossy blade]

does anyone here know what building is the plane transcript located in

[dusky magnet]

which transcript for which quest?

Falling Skies?

If I remember correctly it would be the building that is above the swamp to the south east, but I'm not 100% certain

[stone harbor]

I do not make excuse, I just stated the fact, that I want to act like a dick for once. Took it what you want. I'm done. But yes, that was my knowledge fell short right after the patch, the wiki was not update fast enough. But they did quite nicely after couple of days, grats for them chads.

#pve-lfg

[cosmic patrol]

daily @forest forum fuck you 👋

[forest forum]

[wild dock]

I'm about to give up on doing any questing on Lighthouse... That map fucking sucks. The rogues and mounted guns are fine, it's the fucking unmarked minefields EVERYWHERE that I need to do quests...

[raw nest]

There’s no minefields in quest locations. There’s only one you could possibly encounter but it has a big sign.

[astral kindle]

Minefields aren't that bad as wiki got all of them listed

[raw nest]

^this

[wild dock]

incorrect, I just looked at a map. The water treatment area has like 9 different unmarked minefields

[astral kindle]

There is only 1 place where are mines inside of WTP

[neat spoke]

Increased spawn rate of Evasion Armband? Is that in the patch notes?

[manic pewter]

Use the road

Its that easy

[raw nest]

Nice but only one of them is close to quest location. Rest of them are outside of POI of pve

[worthy otter]

They are not unmarked and the EFT Wiki maps also show all mined areas of all locations

[ornate geyser]

I think they may have buffed pmc ai a bit

something weird is going on because i just had an offline woods raid lose like 20 minutes of raid time went from ~25 mins to 5 mins I guess ill play later

after the patch

[worthy otter]

Really not that weird #eft-announcements message

[ornate geyser]

but it was after the launcher updated after the announcement in an offline raid whatever i guess

[worthy otter]

The announcement clearly says that affected servers will have their raid timers reduced, your offline raid was affected, just because it isn’t online that doesn’t mean it isn’t connecting to BSG to pull necessary data about how to run that raid

[gaunt palm]

??event

[quasi apex]

It's April fools' day! Accept the new task "Bucket of Nothing" from Prapor to get started!

[worthy otter]

This is not new or surprising

This happens pretty much every time they push an update with no downtime

[astral kindle]

Quick question about this, if timer runs out don't it get counted as succesful extraction instead of MIA? Atleast it used to be like that during beta

[ornate geyser]

I understand the reduced to 10 mins I just thought offline raids were offline raids. I thought that playing an offline raid would prevent the raid timer from being reduced esp after the launcher update. I guess I was wrong.

[worthy otter]

If the timer runs out you are instantly extracted, not MIA

[astral kindle]

Cheers, don't want to get MIA's on profile and been giving SJ6's to friends as i didn't remember that being a case

[gaunt palm]

I cant accept the event task

[hexed knoll]

is it me or labs it takes more effort to kill people. that it take a whole mag dump on the head to kill raiders or pmc

[spiral pecan]

Either your lagging like absolute fucking crazy or your using the shittiest ammo to ever exist

[nimble imp]

so uh, is it a bug or my problem, when I use the grizzly, sometimes it won't heal, like there's only animation but still injured

[astral kindle]

Magical 8 ball on your desk
Jokes aside, don't talk about those sites here as mods don't like them. And goons don't rotate atm, they can spawn any of their maps where they can with 30% chance

[gloomy creek]

oh sry i didnt know that, my bad

[astral kindle]

You got all limb heal toggled? If yes, only 1 animation will play and it will continue healing all of your limbs

[astral kindle]

No worries mate

[gloomy creek]

is there a particular reason for the goons not rotating?

[astral kindle]

No-one knows, could be bug, could be intentional

[gloomy creek]

aight tysm

[nimble imp]

I do but, it doesn't heal my limbs

[agile mantle]

new patch?

[vale atlas]

was a hotfix afaik

[agile mantle]

yeah saw

[astral kindle]

Hmm, grizzly got very slow healing time so could be due that

[agile mantle]

whats the meta M4 build after the parts rework?

[nimble imp]

do you mean continuous medkit healing? because uh, it's actually off

[astral kindle]

Yeah i meant that. So grizzly is not healing your body parts at all when you use it? I know BSG made healing prioritizes head/thorax first

[sage marsh]

This is why you click and drag your heals

[nimble imp]

i remember using it to heal a light bleed with it, but the animation only played, and my light bleed wasn't gone

[marble bronze]

Fuck that, just hit the button and start packing mags

[nimble imp]

i was fighting with goons

[marble bronze]

It bypasses the anim

[neat spoke]

Where have you guys found your evasion arm bands? I need one and the Glorious mask to complete kappa

[astral kindle]

Duffel bag and jackets are best chance for evasion, if you have collector unlocked cultist circle got chance bringing it for you

[marble bronze]

Search every duffle you come across

[astral kindle]

Same with glorious but scavs can have it time to time

[vale atlas]

cultist circle provided the majority of my armbands lol

[sage marsh]

I have so many evasions

[nimble imp]

tax evasions

[sage marsh]

I have like 6 FIR

[vale atlas]

Yeah i was storing them all because i couldn't remember which ones i needed for later quests

Just rammed full of armbands

[sage marsh]

Lmao

[raw nest]

Full recoil reduction until they fix overswing

[sage marsh]

Overswing was never an issue

[vale atlas]

it is now

[sage marsh]

No it isnt

[vale atlas]

ofc it is, we're currently complaining

Thats how it works

[raw nest]

It just doesn’t work now so weight and ergo are not a huge factor

Until they fix it lol

Unless the newest patch fixed it

[loud raptor]

I think they allucinate

[neat spoke]

Where did you find them?

Any paticular place?

[unborn knoll]

I find them in bags or jackets

is anyone experiencing weird stuff , just hopped on and two of my friends are saying he fought goons and cultists at the same time

[faint heron]

event still going?

[marble bronze]

That's entirely possible and normal.

[vale atlas]

I would like goons and cultists to fight eachother

[marble bronze]

Can even get Reshy and Parti in the mix if you're particularly unlucky

[vale atlas]

that would be fun to watch

[cobalt fern]

i thought only one set of bosses could spawn at a time was that changed ?

[vale atlas]

maybe have a player scav spawn between them during

[marble bronze]

That hasn't been the case for a while

[solemn panther]

What level can you buy Injector cases on flea?
30?

I’m wondering what’s the easiest way to get one for me

[rare idol]

aight pray for me, am loading into terminal for the first time

hopefully i can get it done first try lmao

[vale atlas]

You got any marked keys?

[sage marsh]

That happens alot

[vale atlas]

They're appearing in those quite a lot

Marked rooms are great for storage stuff atm

[sage marsh]

That cultist event paid out so many keys

[solemn panther]

Only the reserve one iirc but I don’t know how to play reserve

[sage marsh]

Theres no reason people shouldn't have a bunch

[solemn panther]

I missed the event lmao

[vale atlas]

oh thats a shame(there's 3 on reserve)

Reserve has been providing me so many cases

its best marked key run atm

Imo

But you can trust me i am a literal stegosaurus

[solemn panther]

Anyway what level can you buy injector cases on flea?

[vale atlas]

Looks like its not 30

[vapid pelican]

hey anyone have any blue lab access card they are willing to trade for? played over 50 hours looking for one, killing boss's and looting but no luck

[solemn panther]

Also should I carry a dog tag case in my pocket?

[manic pewter]

No

[vale atlas]

But if you finish skier questline you can get one of them by turning the thing into therapist

[solemn panther]

I see, probably 25 then

[manic pewter]

Get a SICC instead

[solemn panther]

I’m low level (pain)

Do really want a SICC

[manic pewter]

Grind to get one

[solemn panther]

Ouch

[vale atlas]

Honestly if you want one i cannot recommend marked rooms enough, might be worth checking out some youtube guides on how to play reserve

If you open it 10 times chances are quite high you'll find one atm

[solemn panther]

Also anyways to get marked room keys?
Farm cultists?

Night factory?

[vale atlas]

or bosses,there are some jacket runs with a decent chance for them. Some dedicated spawns with a chance for them etc

[safe kestrel]

Cultist, lucky drop on scav, or you could also try to get the rusty bloody key on street

[solemn panther]

I see

[vale atlas]

Youtube will be your friend here

[safe kestrel]

the room give you a lot of key

[manic pewter]

Customs or woods

[marble bronze]

When you get to the multiple choice quest chemical part 4, give it to Therapist

[solemn panther]

I’ve seen cultists twice in my life before
Got destroyed

I need to learn how to fight cultists

[solemn panther]

Yeah, that should be the fastest way

[manic pewter]

Learn where they are

Thats half the battle

[vale atlas]

First time i met them i was running to resort on shoreline, heard a scooby doo giggle from a bush and out comes stabby mcgee

[manic pewter]

The rest is looking for people on the floor

[solemn panther]

I think I shoot them as if they are scavs, then get shot back

Was too careless

Cultists don’t have head armor right?

[safe kestrel]

Don't rush, if you have a doubt about their location try to grenade, they will move. But carefull, if they carry some grenade they will throw them at you

[solemn panther]

I see

Gonna practice night factory and learn

Does Taggilla fight cultists?

[safe kestrel]

Yup,

[solemn panther]

I see

[safe kestrel]

i never fought them on Factory but i think Cultist can kill tagilla if they got good bullet

[unborn knoll]

The event was so nice because Tagilla was on Reserve and could just only worry about the cultists/pmcs

[vale atlas]

Yeah that was real nice

Really helped outwith the pmc's in factory offices too lol#

no tagilla to fuck up their pathing or delete them before you could

[unborn knoll]

Yeah that helped me with that task too

[wild frost]

just got head eyes by shturman guards for the first time

you shoulden't spray the akm right

[sweet thistle]

Well getting to my final moment of finishing savior ending but I haven’t really seen any blank rfid cards where should I be looking I only have a couple

[unborn knoll]

I find so many in marked rooms

[night pilot]

been looking for goons past few days and cant find em

anyone have tips

[worthy otter]

@night pilot Do not discuss things that violate the Tarkov TOS please

[worthy otter]

Go to Woods, Customs, Shoreline or Lighthouse, and check their spawn area

[unborn knoll]

I genuinely have been finding Goons on Customs alot

Sometimes they seem to be away from where you expect them to be, I found them on the bridge that leads to/from Big Red and the green area where the little boat extract is, heading towards dorms

[marble bronze]

Flat chance on any of their maps, pick your favorite and send it

Personally I'd go customs or Lighthouse

Cuz woods and Shoreline suck to fight em on

[shy pollen]

Just hit level 30!!!

I bought like 50 labs access cards

[sweet thistle]

I been in so many lately and I haven’t even seen 1 I get a lot of Terra cards though

[unborn knoll]

Personally I find Lighthouse a pain to fight them if they spawn up near Chalets

[marble bronze]

Rather fight em there than WTP

[unborn knoll]

I dunno I have better fights with them on Shoreline. But Woods is definitely not a map I'd choose to look for them

[marble bronze]

Customs is the place to fight em tho, 1000%

[distant obsidian]

Why?

[sage marsh]

Why would you buy the most common card

[willow tinsel]

craft them

Shuffle that with another craft, and you got yourself a passive income of hideout management skill xp

and crafting xp, assuming youre level 30, i doubt you got that maxed out aswell, youll want that

[manic pewter]

Sup tyreal

[vale atlas]

i've had to start crafting other stuff, i have too many labs cards just from crafting

whole keycase full atp

[willow tinsel]

same with me

Never had to buy labs card after that unlocked

[vale atlas]

i'm even picking the most expensive things i can just to increase hideout xp lol

because the long timers

[willow tinsel]

Yea

[vale atlas]

I was crafting ledx the other day

i do not need these at all

[willow tinsel]

handy for long term THICC case barter

[worthy otter]

You want to do shorter crafts not longer

You get 1.5 points per 8 hours of crafting in a module

You get 5 points for completing a craft that isn't a repeat of your last craft

[distant obsidian]

Yo

[distant obsidian]

You do short crafts while your on. The start a long one when you log out and will be done before you log back in

And never repeat of course

[vale atlas]

Oh does repeating have the diminished returns similar to in-raid?

I wasn't aware hideout ran that way too

Thats a pain in the ass to hear lol, i've just been spamming same crafts all this time

[sage marsh]

Yeah it nerfs it down hard after a few

[vale atlas]

oof, all that lost xp

Do we know what kind of gap we need to leave before repeating, is it time based like the in-raid resets? or would it just be "was same as last so <x%"

[worthy otter]

You just can't repeat ever

If you do a repeat craft you get 0 points

[distant obsidian]

[junior tapir]

Where yall usually find like. Power filters. Them things are 500k and i need 10 😭

[worthy otter]

Woods cultist bunker

[junior tapir]

Thats actually ball i forgot about that place having them

[junior tapir]

Time to craft like a billion fleece i guess lol

[shy pollen]

I now have 78 labs cards

[shy pollen]

I like looking at them

Also bc I’m super low on them, can’t craft them, don’t wanna craft them, and also I don’t find them at all.

[manic pewter]

Only 500k? Thats cheap for power filters

[fervent peak]

That sounds like a waste of space, I only keep 10 spares at most

But hey, hoarder mentality xD

[junior tapir]

Regardless i cannot afford it so im gonna try to source them manually

[fervent peak]

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

[manic pewter]

Marked bunker on woods then

[shy pollen]

I love labs🌞

[manic pewter]

And just pray to RNGesus that you find one otherwise

[distant obsidian]

ok, but you hardly need to go to labs for tasks.

[shy pollen]

Great for money tho

[distant obsidian]

every map is great for money in pve

[fervent peak]

If you know where to look, every map is fine

[distant obsidian]

just loot a few hideout items per run and do your tasks

[shy pollen]

Speaking of tasks, I’ve been doing way more, especially for ref

Also I want my dad to have fun on labs whenever I introduce him to Tarkov

[fervent peak]

You... can't drop labs cards in raid

You best delete this, for your account safety

[shy pollen]

Alright..

BTR figurineeee!!

[fervent peak]

I'm missing a prapor, me thinks

Trader row ain't complete

[shy pollen]

We need more figurines fr

[gentle pulsar]

we already have btr and hideout cat

nothing beats those

[shy pollen]

RED CARD IN BLSCK YEAHHH

And blue???

Nothin beats a good lab raid

[fervent peak]

I want the Mr.Kerman figurine, but that is no longer acquirable

[astral kindle]

I think Nikita has confirmed reruns of events in future for people who missed achievements

[shy pollen]

Yeah I think some events tho should stay one time

[fluid halo]

u dont even wanna know how much nikita has confirmed that aint in the game

[astral kindle]

Trust me, i know

[shy pollen]

Well he never said WHEN it happens I think

[fluid halo]

2050.... SOON

[stiff horizon]

Good games, guys. When I try to log into my EFT account, it asks for two-factor authentication, but I didn't set it up. How can I get rid of it?

[astral kindle]

[shy pollen]

Escape from Tarkov 2

[fluid halo]

they will never get my money again thats for sure

[distant obsidian]

how many hours did you get and when did you quit tarkov?

[fluid halo]

bought the game in 2019 for me and a friend.. we played +/- 1000 hours of pvp.. then left back in 2021 i think.. came back when pve launched, played until we had 100mil and then got bored of that.

[distant obsidian]

so you got great value out of the game.

and still play

[solemn panther]

Is the AK308 a decent gun?
At least it fires 7.62 nato?

[distant obsidian]

weeird for someone who is shitting in bsg. Interesting

[astral kindle]

Not after stats changes

[solemn panther]

Trying to get a full auto 7.62 yeeter, couldn’t really find one

[fluid halo]

nah we dont.. i wanted to check out the previous boss event but they rugpulled that one the day i came back.

[astral kindle]

MDR or X-17(scar)

[faint heron]

ANYONE ELSE HOLDING A HIGH PING?

[distant obsidian]

so your just here being a troll. Interesting

[solemn panther]

Yeah, feel like I just couldn’t find an MDR
Maybe farm goons?

[faint heron]

sorry for the caps

[pastel hull]

i really need an airsoft mdr

[solemn panther]

Or just skill solution and click faster with an SR25 or RASSS?

Honestly clicking faster might work…?

[distant obsidian]

x17 and mdr are good

with the erog bug/change

[fluid halo]

just checking daily to see if they drop something interesting to squeeze the last bit of investment out of it before i can drag it back into the bin .. so yeah youre probably right

[blissful granite]

after all, we game ot have fun. No point in playing a game your not having fun in

[loud raptor]

Concord

[hoary stag]

For sure I paid more money than for a single AAA game that I got bored of after 30-40 hours, but if I would calculate how much money I spent per hour, this game was a great and cheap investment into fun.

Go drive go-kart for 20min, you can already buy standard tarkov xD

and after this stupid guy in USA pulled the next crisis, it's anyway cheaper to stay at home 😅

[shy pollen]

yes

[hoary stag]

no

[shy pollen]

I use a beautiful build for it

[hoary stag]

[fluid halo]

thats a fair point. gotta give you that one

[hoary stag]

yes, but a great scar

best scar

[loud raptor]

It’s the golden scar

[hoary stag]

indeed

but x-17 lost my faith after it jammed when knight was pushing me, so I now run ak-50 with mp5 or vector ^^

one way.... or another 😏

[loud raptor]

I run sr25 since they added the new attachments

[spring gust]

anyone else have fun with the blickie event? turns out both goons and reshalla can spawn during it

that was fun

[worthy otter]

Goons and Reshala always have a chance of spawning in the same raid

Same with Cultists and Partizan

[shy pollen]

I generally use 45.acp vector

[spring gust]

i never knew theat goosn and reshala could spawn in same raid, this is the first time me seeing them at the same time, but cool, more loots

[shy pollen]

But also use RPK

[marsh wing]

there is nothing stating that they cant lol

[spring gust]

lol true, guess i never knew cause it never happened, i kinda figured if one boss wasnt there and goons were known in that map at the time, theyd jsut switch out

[spring gust]

or at least i never witnessed it

[marsh wing]

yeah, technically you can have goons, cultists, partyman and reshy all in the same raid afaik

[worthy otter]

And Santa if it's Christmas

[spring gust]

that would be fun

but yeah blickie event, that was fun, wish they had an acheivement for the tomfoolery

[shy pollen]

Who’s party man😭😭 oh

[reef furnace]

Found a rusty bloody key in the pockets of a scav in interchange tf??
#screenshots message

[astral kindle]

Scavs can very rarely spawn with it

[livid nebula]

I mean I once found a dorm 314 key on third day of wipe in a jacket on factory before i then Got bonked over the head by tagilla he always fucking one hits me but uses 5 hits on my frinds

At least I Can apparently take slitly better Care of the goons then my frinds somehow (they have Way more time in the game then me)

[quartz storm]

quick question for the guys running lighthouse right now
is it just me, or is the usec 1/usec 2 safes empty like, at least 50% of the time

[astral kindle]

Yes

[quartz storm]

(and just to be clear this is rushing them BEFORE scavs get near them)

[reef furnace]

Yeah it's just shit loot

If im looking for bread I just go to the lighthouse marked room

[quartz storm]

damn

[quartz storm]

shared bedroom marked key?
ive looted that a few times and only found a few minor valuables

[reef furnace]

Must be your luck

Cause on my last trip there I picked 2 red cards, 1 black card and 1 green card

And an ammo box

[quartz storm]

and where in the room do those cards spawn?
cause I check the table, under both beds, in the cabinet, and the windowsills

[livid nebula]

I dont have accses to lightkeeper yet im quite slow with my Quest so I cant relly use my shared bedroom marked key

[reef furnace]

They can appear in the floor itself

At plain sight

Most of the time

But they also spawn hidden in some parts like the shelves or under the bed frames

[manic pewter]

Dont tell me blicky event is over

[livid nebula]

I Think it is but im not sure

[reef furnace]

Yep it is

[manic pewter]

Noooo

[reef furnace]

April fools is over

[quartz storm]

it was fun while it lasted
and hey, the quest was basically free roubles and 308 ammo

[manic pewter]

I was hoping id get atleast one blicky kill on him as the 15th

[reef furnace]

Tier 6 308 too

[quartz storm]

the gun im trying to get mastery on right now is the chiappa rhino
im doing the 15 pistol kills at the streets shopping mall with the 357 chiappa and my god
it sucks

like I know 357 hits like a truck but it doesnt FEEL like it does

[reef furnace]

Use the Requiem with PS12B

😈

[livid nebula]

I Can imagine how mutch that sucks

[quartz storm]

the problem is you think hey I hear scavs
and then its kaban
and you get slimed immediately
because the second story has nothing in the way of decent hard cover

[livid nebula]

I have killed kaban once and that was just becose I sniped him becose I thoat he was a scav on reserve during that event

Fucking auto correct

[quartz storm]

the problem with kaban is that hes just not WORTH killing
he doesnt have anything valuable on him or his goons

[livid nebula]

Fr thats also why I dident bother running all the Way over to him to loot him

[raw nest]

XP is decent thanks to sheer amount of guards

[livid nebula]

My frind struggels with the guards of every boss but not the boss itself somehow

[odd oak]

Gaurds are harder then bosses tbh bc most bosses do the little run half crouch stop thing where u can beam them

[reef furnace]

M61 and SNB is worth tho

[livid nebula]

Fair enoth ig I still find it funny tho becose guards I basekly never strigle on them I useuely do as Well aginst the guards as the normal boss

[livid nebula]

I keep finding stacks of snb on one of shturmans guards

[manic pewter]

Kaban is worth killing to get access to the cargo container mesh door

[reef furnace]

I only farm him for M61, SNB and 5.45 BP from his guards

Also 7.62 PP sometimes

Man they gotta overhaul the AK platform animations

Comparing them to the AR platform animations, it's so ass

[west mist]

so, i'm experiencing a funny bug guys, when i drop enemies they stay standing

[manic pewter]

and if they were running, they stay running

[junior tapir]

It just be like that

nope, it's all enemies

still need that golden tt ffs

[fallen bay]

is the rewards worth it for the new event? bb gun?

[astral kindle]

XP, some money, AK-308 and few boxes of M61

[dusky magnet]

it's just a quest to goof around. I suppose it can be worth if you wanted to try out the ak-308 but can't get it any other way

Otherwise it's just a different challenge you can try

killed shturman with a headshot at exactly 40m for that dumb tac40 1-4x scope quest and it didnt count im gonna cry

you ddid something wrong

@manic pewter help i am drunk as fuck

i am on 0.5 liters of white rum and 0.25 liters of dark rum and 1 liter of beer. help.

[manic pewter]

Cant help you

[astral kindle]

Honestly not on too much, but i'd personally recommend taking break and maybe even trying sleep

[cosmic patrol]

jeö

[manic pewter]

I sleep now

Good luck though

[crimson sky]

Are goons 100% rn on customs

[manic pewter]

30%

[crimson sky]

oh makes sense

yeah bc i used goons tracker and it told me they were on lighthouse

accidentally joined raid with no body armor, found goons and took their armor and left

[manic pewter]

Don't mention the tracker here

Also, goons dont rotate

[vale atlas]

Safest approach is not to mention any external stuff except the wiki

Mods take ToS very seriously

They are not literal stegosauri and you can tell

[stiff scaffold]

easy job part 2 area quest now covers all 3 buildings?

wiki mods easy job part 2 area quest now covers building 3

just tested it and it made progress towards the quest

I think it doesn't cover building 2 though

[dense sentinel]

I need them goons to spawn again on customs I want my revenge on big pipe for out m60ing me earlier

[stiff scaffold]

goons are on LH

[astral kindle]

They are on every map where they can spawn

They aren't rotating currently

[wispy seal]

is the ref task bug fixed yet?

[stiff scaffold]

ok ok well damn

knight deadass rotated like a real player for me, all the way from blue chalet to usec cottage

[final geode]

I just hit weapon maintenance lvl 51, while light vest is at lvl 5 hard stuck xdd

Its soo unbalanced I have no clue how to level vests

[distant obsidian]

[final geode]

check the wiki how to level vests ? xdd
Its gonna tell me to rapair stuff but WELL

unrealistic af

[astral kindle]

Best way to level vests is repair light armor, its just very slow level to grind

[final geode]

yeeah you right, its very very slow

[distant obsidian]

well duh, you just said you have no idea how to level it

[final geode]

0,000001% Players will hit that xd

[distant obsidian]

so check the wiki and it will tell you how to level it

[final geode]

lets say I have no clue how too realistically level them :D

[distant obsidian]

same way you did wep maint

buy stuff off the fence and repair it

[vale atlas]

You could also take shitty ammo in and brute force enemies in the chest

Steal their gear, repair

Fence can be rough to get stuff from at times, i'm sure people bot it

[distant obsidian]

yep, take armor out of raid

[final geode]

Fence is a scammer

[vale atlas]

Fence is basically gamestop

[final geode]

But buying broken stuff from him sounds like a good idea

makes me feel even weirder when I spammed weapon jamms for XP xdd

[final geode]

yeeah that sounds like the way

but beeing lvl 5 1k hours deep.... xDDD
idk lol

from now on I will take any shot up armor plate there is tho and repair them for cent XP

[final geode]

I see nothing from fence yea, I guess people do that a lot

[vale atlas]

Happens with the guns too, usually during the rare moments i decide its time to spam weapon repair

Its very unfortunate

[tight mural]

Crazy story about the goons. I spawned in near USEC camp on woods and immediately took fire from knight and grenades from big pipes launcher. Missing both arms and 2 bleeds, I ran across the road over the rocks and down the hill towards Sturmy. I managed to pop a zugustun and an ETG before I made it to the blue shed. I've never had such a puckered chocolate starfish in my life before. Killed Knight and Birdeye but Big pipe vanished. I heard Sturman's SVDS shots going off as I was engaged with Knight and Birdeye. after putting my arms back on inside the blue shed, it got quiet. Big Pipe's M60 was gone along with Sturman's. I figured one of them killed each other. I cautiously searched around for Sturman and his guards but the clock was ticking. That was last night and I'm still wondering what happened to either of them.

[final geode]

In a different universe you would level vests by wearing them and roaming them

[final geode]

nice story haha
aaah its always the raid timer in the end which cuts Storys short

[tight mural]

The only thing that really saved me in the beginning is that my endurance is at 48 and it was a very long run haha.

[vale atlas]

jealous

My endurance hasn't even broken 20 yet

Nearly at elite strength though, soon the second grind begins

[tight mural]

yeah I got my Strength maxed first and now its been about endurance.

[final geode]

not leveling endurance anymore when 1gram over *encumbered because of realism

[vale atlas]

To be fair i do hate cardio

[tall portal]

hi new here and to eft any one got time or willing to help me get my feet wet

[tight mural]

very true, I hate that you can't even gain a little bit while you're in the yellow after you've maxed the strength, should be like the gym.

[vale atlas]

I have jokes but i am a mature adult

i can keep them in

You looked at many videos about tarkov so far? you got a base idea of what the games like?

[final geode]

sometimes you gotta be a kid again

[sharp pumice]

Best way os diving in the deep end, gear is never yours, watch videos, confidence is key every death is a lesson

[vale atlas]

This is why i am a literal stegosaurus

[final geode]

[vale atlas]

Have maps up while you play, or watch videos, try and figure out where the people in said videos are on the maps

Fastest way to familiarize yourself with everything

Qiests/tasks are woefully unspecific so you're going to need to look shit up. The wiiki is your friend

Dont mention any external sites here because they're against ToS and mods take discord real serious

You are intended to suffer

Do not be dissuaded

[tall portal]

got ya

thanks for the advice

[vale atlas]

Also, get used to aiming for heads

The bullet/armour interactions will have you saying "Wtf" after unloading 30 rounds on a guy

Penetration values are king, you want generally around level 37 pen on ammo for it to be considered "Decent"

[tall portal]

what about limbs and pelvic area ?

[glossy bloom]

You can use the crappiest ammo, as long as you hit the head and face, you more than likely shall succeed

[vale atlas]

Some armour covers that but i dont think many ai have it

You can always burst legs/arms

but will take longeer and some enemies will kill you when you show them a pixel

[glossy bloom]

Pelvis only if they have a decent helmet, and you use higher damage rounds
basically a strategy for flesh damage ammo

[vale atlas]

Never peek the same enemy from the same spot they last saw you, they will headshot you

Think sniper tactics, shoot, move, shoot

[tall portal]

solid copy

[glossy bloom]

legs to prevent them from running

arms don't seem to do much

[vale atlas]

Scavs (the shit bottom tier enemies that fill the maps) are pretty pathetic, you wont have to worry about them so much, but the pmc's (fake players) and harder stuff (bosses) , will laser you cross map so always try to take a fight near hard cover

[final geode]

damn I was fighting KILLA today and I swear they giga nerfed him somehow, I should been dead 5x times in that scenario

[vale atlas]

You'll get the hang of it all, this is just top of my head stuff lol

[glossy bloom]

don't give me false hope now

[vale atlas]

Biggest thing you can do to begin with though is learn the maps, everthing you do here revolves around locations for quests, or where enemies can be found etc

Highly recommend the map + youtube videos thing to get an idea of how to move around them

Or map + play ofc

[final geode]

you are completely lost when gooin in blind without a map xdd

"Outskirts"

[vale atlas]

Oh, there are story quests. That have specific requirements, you can lock yourself out of specific endings if you make ceertain choices at certain points. But the game will tell you when you are at them, You might want to look up what to choose unless you're determined to do it blind

But ofc what do i know, i'm a literal stegosaurus

[jovial cobalt]

if you are a literal stegosaurus how are you typing on a keyboard in english

im not convinced

unless there is someone there typing for you and reading your stegosaurus thoughts

[fervent peak]

He just has a REALLY BIG keyboard

using the m700 that reloads directly (not changing mags), if i shoot 3 shots and reload, does it eject (lose) the chambered round when he pulls the bolt back?

If you notice only maps with forced server are streets, woods, lighthouse. Streets due performance and rest due ingame trader bug (not confirmed but obvious)

[polar bolt]

performance with hosted is worse than local. my pc is beast. bsg servers are the cheapest pos available...half the reason I play PVE is to avoid them

[timid tendon]

day 73 of camping fortress for capturing outposts

still no signs of PMCs

a scav with a tt pistol and duffle bag ran up and i dropped him inside

he had two pmc dogtags in his bag

i am losing my sanity

[vale atlas]

It only worked for me if i sat there silently lol

Could not cause any aggro at all or they'd lock down

[timid tendon]

my problem is they never path to it, they die to something or just idle in a building the whole map

[vale atlas]

You tried on bsg servers? could be ai getting throttled on your side if local?

[timid tendon]

i try to kill all the snipers, sweep for scavs and goons/reshala and so on but i just can't get them to go there

yeah i've done a mix, though mainly local

[vale atlas]

Yeah probably doesn't make much of a difference but worth a thought lol

[timid tendon]

cheers

[vale atlas]

its just a combo of rng and bad design

Thoughts and prayers, took me 10 days of doing nothing but stronghold camping lol

[undone coral]

Is reshala still there for the quest with a blicky or back to normal?

[timid tendon]

he can be at any of the three spawns afaik; i've seen him at new gas and fortress - i don't really go to dorms atm

they do wander though - i've found him in the hills behind new gas and near crackhouse too

[stiff scaffold]

rogueless raid in LH

and I still need 3 kills for easy job part 2

[timid tendon]

yeah it's really unfun how few rogues spawn in wtp, i've seen 0-6 on the roofs but mainly 2-3 tops

[stiff scaffold]

checked all roofs and not a single rogue

map was fully silent other than a mine exploding

[vocal iris]

Lol so what did they change in the update?

[stiff scaffold]

ah well I saw 3 scavs but they weren't on the quest area and I blasted them without luring them to the quest area

[vocal iris]

I see an update but no corresponding patch notes

[stiff scaffold]

eft twitter acc

some bugs

[south cobalt]

just do bsg servers and hope for the best, on local they just kinda hang around their spawn and then die to scavs

[timid tendon]

ya i'm just gonna switch to bsg perma now

i'm currently on bsg servers in fort and i can hear a pmc fighting in the adjacent factories but the last shot i heard was a shotgun that wasn't his - great

[south cobalt]

i like running local just cause shturman seems to spawn 100%

bsg should really change the pmc ai, they dont even move around the map just spawn and stand around most of the time

every raid the same place, u can clear customs of all pmcs in like 2min

they have been chasing me around lighthouse for the past 6 hours

is it 30% chance on every map they appear on?

does anyone know if theres a way to unlock Terminal without having to reset my progress?

iirc to get main story on PVE you need to reset

i want those avon gas masks but theyre not on flea and apparently the only way to get em is from killing a faction that spawns exclusively on terminal

ah screw it, better to get it over with now rather than later

im only lvl 16 anyways

[scarlet glen]

im giving up on escaping i have tried like 20 times and i just cant do it anymore lol

[spring light]

why would you want to leave in the first place? Tarkov is so lovely this time of year

[stiff scaffold]

you can def reset

being level 16 is still "early"

if you were like level 25+ or something then yeah it would hurt to reset character

[spring light]

so much blood, sweat, and tears wasted though

:(

i was like

2000 exp away from ragman ll2

[jovial cobalt]

you dont keep anything from terminal tho

so its impossible to get any black division stuff thru normal gameplay

[spring light]

youre joking

[jovial cobalt]

no sir lol

[spring light]

oh my God

[jovial cobalt]

once you finish terminal that's it too

you have to reset to be able to complete it again

[glossy hound]

it's apparently theoretically possible to get the gear from air drops but ive never seen it

[polar bolt]

you win = you lose the gear. you die = you lose the gear

[scarlet glen]

its just frustrating i cant heal half the time or fix my broken limbs cause i get pushed by scavs right after fighting BD lol i have tried so many times and i think im not meant to escape and beat the game

[spring light]

welp

its already reset

[glossy hound]

where should i go try out my new ak-50

[spring light]

no point in crying over something i cant recover

[polar bolt]

you were level 16...you lost 2 days of "progess" and gained experiences that were hopefully fun

[spring light]

2 days?

bro, ive been at it for like weeks

im new

[glossy hound]

if it helps, itll go a lot faster this time around

[spring light]

u right

[polar bolt]

that was my point. you were learning the game...but trying to get back will take half as long this time

[spring light]

still, wish somebody had told me you dont get to keep stuff from terminal sooner

i did some of the main quests on pvp, honestly it was meh

i like 'classic' questing better

[polar bolt]

the entire storyline is stupid and totally not worth whatever effort BSG spent adding it to the game.

now you can't say nobody told you that sooner, lol

[glossy hound]

hey, imagine being one of those people that beelined the main story after wipe before this was known xD

[spring light]

God bless

well i guess having the option is better than not having it

[spring light]

oof, dont even wanna think about it

[glossy hound]

i have to imagine they'll eventually let us get the gear, it's ridiculous to think they would just keep it unobtainable for no reason

but then again, it is bsg

[polar bolt]

nah, this is definitely one of nikita's kinks

[vale atlas]

Free assets to use, they'll definitely pump it out somehow

probably arena unlocks or something lol

Ref bullshit

[spring light]

ive heard stories about how bad arena is, i dont wanna buy that bro ToT

[vale atlas]

I mean, if you like pvp games and you like tarkov its probably not that bad

My first experience was against a chinese hacker who headshot everyone through walls, only headshots mind you

I uninstalled

[spring light]

i do not like either

[glossy hound]

the ttk is too fast for it to be fun for me personally

[vale atlas]

You get a 3 day trial after one quest or another

[glossy hound]

anywho im off to blast scavs with an ak-50 for funsies

[vale atlas]

I dont remember what one it is but, yeah if you want savior that's the time to do it

[vale atlas]

i didn't like it at all, but i didn't get an opportunity to lol

[jovial cobalt]

arena is pretty fun to me even as a pve main

definitely takes getting used to

[marble bronze]

hol up you don't like tarkov?

[spring light]

does anybody who plays this game like it? (i do but MAN is it a miserable experience)

[marble bronze]

i enjoy it

it gets better with friends to play with tho

[spring light]

i have none who play this game

[marble bronze]

hop into #pve-lfg and make some 🙂

[craggy meteor]

whats your peoples favorite bolt action for tasks?

[marble bronze]

quiet DVL early game, Sako late game

[spring light]

i was planning to do that, but then my gas mask obsession kicked in and made me reset my account

[paper linden]

i agree

[craggy meteor]

ty

[marble bronze]

TKPD for memes

DMR i know but

[vale atlas]

That bolt action vpo is secretly pretty nice too

Gotta hit heads but its real snappy

for early game i mean

[marble bronze]

Marlin kinda outclasses it tho

[craggy meteor]

pretty much all my kills rn are headshots cuz i have shit ammo

[glossy hound]

wtf a scav just survived a shot from an ak-50

[paper linden]

i was about to ask. is the mxlr considered a bolt action on quests?

[marble bronze]

yes

[craggy meteor]

i do enjoy myself a dvl tho

[vale atlas]

Yeah everyone likes a dvl

Even literal stegosaurs

[marble bronze]

main gripe with the mxlr is the ammo capacity

[vale atlas]

I like it, i just struggle with "aim" stamina lol. Its like i'm permanently ads'ing it

[marble bronze]

and i can't hold the bolt cycle like i can with actual bolt actions

[vale atlas]

I tend to use more ammo for it than i can buy/replace quickly too so it sits in the stash until it stockpiles a bit lol

[waxen sun]

Anyone want to play? im new to the game just doing some missions and roaming trying to learn the maps.

[paper linden]

ill run some

[waxen sun]

ok my pve name is frxn

[dense sentinel]

hmm haven't been paying attention i guess when did they make woods and light house server only instead of either local or bsg server.

[marble bronze]

patch or two ago

BTR and LK buggy on local

[dense sentinel]

ah ok

[glossy hound]

1. no
2. dont think so

look at the list of his possible weapons

[worthy otter]

@steady obsidian No drug talk. Also don’t discuss things that violate the Tarkov TOS.

[west sigil]

Why is Sthurman's SVD burst-fire?

[worthy otter]

It’s not, he just likes to fire a few rounds in succession before stopping

[timid tendon]

ok i'm not going to complain because i made SOME progress with capturing outposts on customs

but i just had a usec kill a bear in the back that was approaching the customs fortress and rob me of a kill and oh my lord are you kidding

that's gotta be a 1 of 1 unlucky

[marble bronze]

yours can be too, if your finger is fast enough

[west sigil]

I see.

[marble bronze]

Shutty doesn't have to deal with recoil tho so...

[west sigil]

Where the hell do I find toilet paper

I haven't found a single goddamn roll

[marble bronze]

airdrop?

can also craft it if need be

[west sigil]

None of those have contained toilet paper

[west sigil]

That craft requires lavatory level 1

[marble bronze]

tho i suspect you're too low of level to craft

[steady obsidian]

Thank you for informing me what it was. I was not aware of the resource and will refrain from using it now that I know

[polar bolt]

using your mouse wheel to fire semi autos is the video game version of an FRT

[marble bronze]

that's the lame way to do it, yeah

[polar bolt]

i'm not a fan of FRT's...I should have probably said that

you can bend the rules in-game and IRL to shoot faster tho

[pseudo kayak]

im flipping off scavs but they wont even try and shoot me 😭

[vale atlas]

but we need our mousewheels

How else will i slightly crouch

[solemn panther]

What do I get for upgrading from EOD to Unheard?
Mostly a nice looking blue name tag, and as a tip for Nikita?

I’m gonna assume that, getting Unheard should mean I get every future thing. And there won’t be another Ununheard edition sometime later…?

[west sigil]

Blue nametag, PMC clothing, knife, weapon + ammo case, boosted rep with traders, bigger pockets, and an armband.

[west sigil]

Went into raid looking for toilet paper, came out with a Gen 4 ITOV

Also completed Stirrup by blasting three dudes with my Glock

Gift horses, I suppose.

[solemn panther]

I see, not too bad, some nice goodies.
Upgrade is 50 bucks iirc.
A bit tempting.

[west sigil]

Also, the "Mark of the Unheard." The description is a bit wordy, but in-raid stuff like V-exfils and BTR shenanigans cost 1/2 their normal price, and your insurance returns are faster.

[solemn panther]

If I can finish PvE (story + kappa), I’m probably gonna get it and start trying a PvP wipe

[little schooner]

where is a good place to find alkaline cleaners?

[west sigil]

Also apparently if you have 6.0 fence rep scavs won't shoot if they're 60m+ away

with it equipped

[quartz storm]

but it also completely fucks your fence rep if you fight scavs

[jovial cobalt]

i've unironically used the mark of the unheard if i ever have to kill pmcs without killing scavs otherwise i fail a quest

so like once or twice on my last playthrough for finishing up the ticket, or bullshit quest from skier

[quartz storm]

that one from fence, with the 7 pmc kills and no scav kills I got by just running factory
the one on customs I did with a lot of pistol runs and swearing

[jovial cobalt]

lol

[worthy otter]

If you kill a PMC you don’t lose that reputation

[quartz storm]

im actually really close to 6.0 fence rep after I turned in my epsilon container (Absolutely worth it, hell yeah) and looking forward to seeing that second tab on the fence shop

[west mist]

man, i wish i had a friend to drop me an ak-50

[quartz storm]

I could just do it the lazy way with two extracts on shoreline since I have yet to use that vehicle extract yet (despite being level 51) but im enjoying running factory to see if I get any goodies in my pockets

[quartz storm]

if you want an ak-50 I have a spare rattling around in my stash, I could pass it to ya no problem

[west mist]

huh

[quartz storm]

you good to load into factory right now?

[jovial cobalt]

intel center 3 coming SOONN

[quartz storm]

dude the full blown scav cooldown is INSANE, having it on a 10 minute refresh is fantastic for farming fence rep

[jovial cobalt]

i have done a grand total of 4 scav raids on this profile

jus wait until scav life

[quartz storm]

I roll it in the hopes of a red flare

[scarlet harbor]

hey if anyone needs some help with some tasks let me know, getting bored of solo running lol just shoot me a PM

[reef furnace]

I wish they add the Monstrum Archangel 1-10x24 scope to tarkov someday

@distant obsidian Have you seen it?

[west mist]

i thought it goes down to like 5

with elite hideout management and intel center 3 you get 17.5% reduction in scav cooldown, plus 35% from the base intel center, plus reduction for your scav rep

i think they apply separately, cause otherwise it would be 0

so from the fence rep you get 60%, and then 52.5% reduction on that, i think

[quartz storm]

here let me run a scav run and tell you what my current cooldown is and we'll see cause I could be wrong

[quartz storm]

yeah no I think you have the right of it
I just ran a scav run and after loading back in to my menu the timer was 5:45 for me

[inner geyser]

havent played tarkov in a hot minute, is the loot good again?

[toxic patio]

it's not that bad rn

[jovial cobalt]

i think i got 2 black keycards from opening marked rooms on reserve

and a handful of other ones like blue red yellow

[pseudo kayak]

for the price of being horribly punished for looking at a scav

[reef furnace]

Can't you just take it out of your spec slot, put it in your safe container, kill the scav and then put the thing in your spec slot again

?

[quartz storm]

I just ran two streets raids and both of them had a rusty bloody key, im in shock
first raid was on a scav near the mall so he might have picked it up
second one was the mall spawn

[tacit mesa]

Why are ceramic plates so shit?

Just had kolonoscopy's goons 1 tap me thorax with a lvl5 plate

[distant obsidian]

because its cermaic

[tacit mesa]

Lost me 250k m4 😭

Im never using ghzel again

[cursive summit]

Thays why i use lvl 6 (if I can ever find them, running low on my plates) or the green one is just better, idk, reshalas guards did 2 tap me in the chest one time with bt ammo while I had lvl 6 plates

[odd gale]

I either run a korrund

Or a t6 plate tac rig

[grizzled flare]

anyoen know the easies way to get the arena tasks done for placing 2nd or higher

[distant obsidian]

Korund is so ass

[distant obsidian]

click heads

kill the reds

[grizzled flare]

i have a life man please

[distant obsidian]

me to

doesnt mean you cant learn

terribel excuse

[cosmic patrol]

i have alcohol

[grizzled flare]

alright so i guess answer is what i expected thanks ill go bother someone else then

[distant obsidian]

its pvp my dude

wtf did you expect.

placve second means killing the reds. Get better at killing them and you place higher

not rocket science

[cosmic patrol]

Reading what this is about - there is no "easiest way" for a nice portion of stuff, since task(s) are heavily specified. Idk where im going with this, but PVP doesnt have "easy way" of X or Y.

simply grind arena til u do it, u got this man

[grizzled flare]

i was js hoping with how middle of the roster i am with arena id expect similar matchs but im teamed with people way better or worse then me and the games so one sided

[cosmic patrol]

I need me some Vytautas water for this hangover dayum

[cosmic patrol]

Thats just matchmaking being shit. Cant do much on that one

[distant obsidian]

its random mm

its not shit. Its just putting playewrs in a game

there is no SBMM

[quartz storm]

I hope arena brings back ranked personally
so I can absolutely tank my MMR rating
and then finish to great heights 3 for the ability to transfer over all my stuff

[grizzled flare]

like ive placed 3rd a few times and 2nd like twice but its losing matchs so dont work

[cosmic patrol]

shut the fuck up man. im too fucked to argue with anyone rn :/

[quartz storm]

the fact you have to finish a quest to transfer stuff over at all is a horrible decision imo
like I can do dailies, but I don't place well cause arena is full of ubersweats

[cosmic patrol]

ur close then man. Keep grindin

[grizzled flare]

i luckly got that one done im on the last difficult poart 5 for 2nd in 1 match

any dcent builds i should consider?

[distant obsidian]

nothing to argue about. Its random.

[cosmic patrol]

on that u are alone. If u dont have arena u dont get the extra shit.

[cosmic patrol]

... yes

[quartz storm]

I have arena
I have like, 12 cases to transfer over
I just can't transfer them because I havent finished a ref quest and therefore dont have access to the service

[distant obsidian]

shit implies there is something that factors into the MM. There is not.

[cosmic patrol]

nah i just mean its shit in my books, dont like it

[distant obsidian]

again, random

[cosmic patrol]

bro.

[distant obsidian]

SBMM generally is a shit idea in most shooters

ranked is for SBMM, not random q

[quartz storm]

thats why im waiting for ranked to come back for arena
so I can tank my score and get a timmy game to finish my quest and finally transfer over my cases

[cosmic patrol]

I dont have arena.
I dont have like, anything to transfer over.
You understand the logic behind the fact that you are at an advantage?

[cosmic patrol]

true ngl

[distant obsidian]

yeah, people have been missing ranked

[quartz storm]

right but my PvE character is level 51 right now
so any advantage I might have gotten from ref at this point is kinda moot

[grizzled flare]

when you put it that way it does sound kinda cheesy to do so but then again idk im pretty bad and i managed to complete the quest

[quartz storm]

since you know
no transfer

[cosmic patrol]

bro, that is exactly why the transfer quest is good. You DONT have the advantage for it rn, u gotta work for it and earn it? And no, the difference isnt moot. Level isnt equal to gear

[quartz storm]

arena was teasing a horde mode at one point iirc, if that were implemented it might be interesting to see if they shift the pve unlock to that

[quartz storm]

it kinda is with trader levels and flea market locks

[cosmic patrol]

No the fuck? your logic is in shambles

[quartz storm]

so let me untangle this
you are saying that the quest is good because it locks an advantage (ref) behind a skill gate, keeping a more even playing field since you do not have arena
I am saying the quest is bad because it locks a functionality behind a skillgate despite my ability to get the additional items even with lower skill than the quest required, and as it stands I currently do not have an advantage over you, since I lack the ability to transfer from arena despite having the items
additionally, having an even playing field does not matter because it is the PVE mode and any advantage I have is not a disadvantage for another player going against me

[jovial cobalt]

play more arena

[shy pollen]

Mmm big storm…

Labs…

[grizzled flare]

alright 3 matchs later and a 2nd 4th and 5th with a 1100/1250 loss a 541/1250 loss and a 98/1200 loss

[carmine palm]

I just had the issue that I completed the price of independence, turned it in, but I didn't get the achievement

Was it because I never accepted skiers tasks?

[vale atlas]

close game, open it again

Sometimes achievements dont pop until you do, i had this with a couple yesterday

[carmine palm]

Okay, also is there anyway to check btr rep?

[raw nest]

No but you check with wiki what you gained

[vale atlas]

You have to manually remember what btr quests you've done lol

Then go to wiki and add it up

Its very shit

[carmine palm]

lmao

[vale atlas]

its easiest to just go find out the name of the last quest, you'll know you have enough when you've done that

(as long as you didn't do the -rep ones)

[carmine palm]

nope

just did all the btr ones
