pve-chat

[young frost]

bummer. its expensive to feed

[crude kraken]

you walk back and shoot

legit mag dump him in the stomach dont try to take longrange fights

stomach or head if you have the pen ammo

[abstract nymph]

In the legs

[native osprey]

I always get full auto shotgunned in the face or smashed with a hammer, lol

[crude kraken]

or the legs true

[west mist]

bait him to try to hammer and just, dodge

[crude kraken]

use cover and try to abuse his stall times like pulking out his hammer or him healing

[native osprey]

Is there a trick to dodging his hammer or do you just like sprint? I feel like he chases me down pretty well, lol

[west mist]

when he swings he is moving less quick i think, can also dodge to the sides, and also if he hits armor you can tank it so like, if he boutta bash ye brains in jumping may help?

[native osprey]

Taking notes, lol

[west mist]

idk, i usually find him, use a nade to push him into hiding, and then set my gun to full auto and drill his skull

the helmet only has so much durability before it stops working

[native osprey]

I have used a grenade once. I went to throw it through a window in factory and it bounced back and blacked my legs. 😎

[abstract nymph]

Wait for him to swing, when he does, run

[west mist]

well, avoid windows XD

[native osprey]

Should I be nading more? lol

[abstract nymph]

Or use impact grenades on him

[west mist]

nades are 100% worth using, you can scare the AI pretty easy

[abstract nymph]

Impacts are the best if you can aim and hope he doesn't pull a gun

[native osprey]

I have F-1s and M67s lol

[west mist]

and you can find ai with em too, like the strat for locating killa is running around with smoke nades and throwing them

if he is within 40m he will yell when you chuck it

[native osprey]

Interesting.

[short rivet]

You either run or turn to the left if you can run so he hits your arm if you cant run away

[west mist]

also, if you are like, trying to kill tag

you can get him in his mancave in interchange suuuuuuuuuper easy

[native osprey]

I always want to kill Tagilla in factory when hes there... i just get scared. lol

[west mist]

if you want to get less scared, hunt him down in interchange a few times, get used to him

he is (as far as i know) always in his mancave there, and a grenade tossed over the "walls" will tell you where he is, because just like his brother killa he will yell when he hears a grenade go out near him

[abstract nymph]

Every boss does it

[west mist]

i drilled a .50 cal hole in his mask yesterday on interchange cause he is super predictable

[abstract nymph]

Every ai does it

[abstract nymph]

With what? An ak50?

[west mist]

also reshala stays quiet sometimes when a grenade goes out, could be some bug, but like, i've chucked one and he just, doesnt respond

[west mist]

yes

[abstract nymph]

I wish I had this

[west mist]

i was lucky enough to make a friend who was capable and willing to hook me up

honestly i still prefer the LM MR better

[abstract nymph]

Lm mr?

[west mist]

lapua magnum marksman rifle

[abstract nymph]

The mk18

[west mist]

the Sako TRG M10

can either get it from birdeye sometimes, or unlock it from skier

[abstract nymph]

Yeah, but a 338 against a 50

[west mist]

the LM guns still hit suuuuuuuuper hard

[abstract nymph]

They do

[west mist]

i think the TRG M10 and the AK-50 are the kings of DMR's in tark

[abstract nymph]

But for some reason shooting the 50 is way mor satisfying

M10 is a bolt action

[crude kraken]

i do that minus the name hes weirdly easy to kite

[west mist]

how bout the AXMC

[bronze saddle]

anybody else spawned in raid and was badly wounded cause a scav spawned on your ass and blasted?

[crude kraken]

the -6 scav karma experience

[west mist]

my karma's all the way up to 4.27 and slowly climbing

[bronze saddle]

my karma is 6.16

[west mist]

not 10, not good enough, cause you cant kill a boss without dropping below 6

since any loss of fence rep between 6 and 8 counts as from 6, putting you at 5.9

[timid tendon]

why would you do that

[west mist]

and any loss of rep from above 8 takes 2

[fervent peak]

Any rep loss beyond 6 will immediately put you down to 6, if it's a boss or boss guard. Scav kills will be -1 until 8, then -2 beyond 8

[bronze saddle]

i literally spawned and was like 40 hp, cause a scav sniped me with slugs twice in the legs and when i camped to heal off my broken limbs, well.... another shotgun scav blew mah shit legs again.. its like wtf my armor was 100% durability when i died

[crude kraken]

cuz bosses dont kill you at 6 rep

so its an easy headshot kill

[timid tendon]

why would you kill a boss as a scav is what i mean

[odd gale]

I don't see the point ngl

You gain nothing

The amount of rep you lose isn't worth the gear/ammo

[spiral pecan]

Fun

Murking allat as a scav AND making it out is a wild dopamine rush

[odd gale]

Eh

[bronze saddle]

i mean.... just use shit guns and gear an do it as PMC

[timid tendon]

it's a less threatening scenario than just going undergeared as a pmc because if you're >6 he won't attack you and scavs won't attack you at the start either

very weird

[native osprey]

Just found a SR-2M Veresk 2x21 for the first time. Never seen this one before. Worth keeping?

[abstract nymph]

Check how viable to ammo is, but it's the same situation with the np7

Mp7, close range combat

[crude kraken]

i keep most guns i find cool ngl

[native osprey]

Interesting.

[mossy blade]

CQB gun viable on Labs and Factory

Rest maps just use an Assault rifle

[native osprey]

I'm torn on whether I want to main running a CPC or a JPC.

CPC has better armor, but the JPC has a lot of inventory.

[crude kraken]

pros and cons of the 6Sh118

pros: big back pack

cons: i look like a fucking goofball with my current rig/outfit

[native osprey]

I have been only keeping the 35 slot backpacks because the big ones like the 6sh118 take up more than half of the storage vertically and it makes a weird spacing issue lol

[crude kraken]

tbh i might sell it later

cuz i just dont fuck with it a lot

[willow tinsel]

CPC any day

[crude kraken]

plus its heavy as shit

[abstract nymph]

Don't sell the 6sh118

I will be viable later

And i am pretty sure you can't buy it

[willow tinsel]

Barter

[raw nest]

You can barter for it

[abstract nymph]

At level 4

And he will need it eariler

[crude kraken]

aigh so not selling it

[native osprey]

Hmm. At my lower level should I keep running 5.45 or should I run 7.62?

[crude kraken]

whatever the gun you think its coolest runs

[willow tinsel]

Up to you

[abstract nymph]

Up to you yeah

7.62 is more of a puncher in trades for recoil

5.45 is the opposite

Both are equally good

Be flexible with what you use

[native osprey]

I'm assuming at my level both will have lame pen?

[abstract nymph]

This is the point of the game

[abstract nymph]

No

Do reserve runs to find them

Don't rely soly on buying

And rush tasks

[willow tinsel]

Lvl 62, still use NL545

[abstract nymph]

Don't wait with them like i do lol

[mossy blade]

I mena if you rock a full Z kit in EMR it might look good

[native osprey]

Honestly I was thinking of the CPC because it also have versatile inventory slots (2x3 slots) but then I thought about the JPC for a gunner loadout with drum mags. Now I'm back to sitting here thinking, lol

[abstract nymph]

Don't overthink it

[willow tinsel]

It's been 15 runs since i last swapped that gun too because of max maintenance

[mossy blade]

Honestly 7.62x39mm is better in terms of killing your enemy but you need to handle the recoil

[native osprey]

That is what I've been using. Good to know they're still good later. lol.

[native osprey]

Like telling me not to breath, haha.

[abstract nymph]

Same tbh

[crude kraken]

ye i know but im rocking the brown BEAR OPS so it doesnt fit that well and im not intending on running a full RUSAF kit

[native osprey]

tbh, going through the inventory and thinking over things and googling stuff is almost as much fun as the raids, haha.

[abstract nymph]

And focus on tasks before you level up

Because you will get unmatched to the ai without proper gear

I am level 30 didn't even started the punisher quest line

[native osprey]

What do you mean by unmatched?

[odd gale]

Hey

[crude kraken]

im mad as fuck the AS VAL is only prappor lvl4

[willow tinsel]

Hello cody

[odd gale]

Most pmcs barely run tier 4 or t5 armor

And not even good ammo

[abstract nymph]

The ai is getting better as you are

[odd gale]

I don't think that's the case

[abstract nymph]

It is, non noticeable but it is

[marble bronze]

Definitely not a thing

[odd gale]

How exactly?

[willow tinsel]

Nah, AI dont scale

[abstract nymph]

You cannot encounter a level 50 in level 5

[marble bronze]

AI is just as dumb as it ever was

[odd gale]

You can

[abstract nymph]

Better in terms of loot

[marble bronze]

No

[native osprey]

I didn't even know the AI had levels, lol

[odd gale]

I get the same loot as I would as level 5

[marble bronze]

And no

[abstract nymph]

Really?

[odd gale]

Yeah

[willow tinsel]

Their gear is presets

[odd gale]

I'm level 40

[crude kraken]

i like how i looked up stalker on the tarkov subreddit for some clothing and gear inspiration and i keep getting like the "help hotline" post

[timid tendon]

level is irrelevant except for trade barters/quest handins

[abstract nymph]

Weird, i started to get viable loot in level 20

[native osprey]

What was the criteria that player names get added to AI PMCs?

[marble bronze]

Would be nice if any of that were the case, but it isn't

[native osprey]

Were they like original backers or something?

[abstract nymph]

I wish

Their names in dog tags?

[willow tinsel]

EOD

I believe

[native osprey]

So if I bought EOD then somewhere out there is a little AI MayoPlant PMC running around?

[abstract nymph]

Isn't that random sets of strings?

[willow tinsel]

I dont exactly know, I just know they said something about backers on dogtags but never looked into it

[timid tendon]

the names are real PMCs; you can see the guy who made all the 3d maps in the pool

[crude kraken]

why the fuck do i run into the genetically modified PMCs on shoreline ONLY when im doing punisher part 1 😭

[odd gale]

Some staff have names on dogtags

I've killed Crazed before

[native osprey]

Once I get finished moving and I can play longer matches, I really need to knock out some of these quests.

[willow tinsel]

It was the only thing i did before story, hauling sidequests till there was only lvl 60 quests left before starting main story

[timid tendon]

based

[willow tinsel]

Sorry fatfingered 0 with 9

[native osprey]

I REALLY need to get to level 25. Seems like everything in the Fleamarket is minimum level 25.

[native osprey]

Why?

[timid tendon]

because the main story is the 'end'

[jovial cobalt]

i cant be assed to do all of the side quests anymore

[timid tendon]

you should do what you find fun

if the quests are not fun then that makes sense

[jovial cobalt]

im ever so close to escaping and i haven't even done bp depot for prapor yet

unless i need levels to progress the story then i will do some questing

[crude kraken]

is using physical cores worth would it actually aid in my cpu running like shit on this game?

[timid tendon]

test it before/after making the change and record the results

each setup is different

[willow tinsel]

because i felt like i owed the game that after it finally released, plus i thought i could only get savior after doing all of them, only to realise halfwway through i didnt need to do so

and the fact that i rather eat the bad stuff before getting the tasty things

like, actually enjoy story for what it is, and not having to worry about siddequest stuff or things thats locked behind it

[timid tendon]

it makes sense thematically too; you are escaping tarkov - it should be the end

[willow tinsel]

yea, like finally putting all the puzzle pieces together before ditching it all

[native osprey]

Makes sense. Thanks for elaborating.

[abstract nymph]

HOW?

[fervent peak]

Sigh... lighthouse on the worst fuckin spawn

GGG please, get rid of this mountain spawn, I beg of thee

[raw nest]

physical cores are the main thing. they are the more important ones too

[timid tendon]

#screenshots message gm to everyone who has finished capturing outposts

[raw nest]

Well i got my 2nd pair of BD nvgs so it's even better Easter morning

[willow tinsel]

Congrats, thats a pain in the ass quest

[timid tendon]

it is indeed the worst quest I have done yet, and I've finished LK's and his mountain pmc kill one was nowhere near as bad as the customs part of this one, jeez

[timid tendon]

sick, congrats!

[willow tinsel]

from scav case ?

[raw nest]

Fence

[willow tinsel]

thats insane

[jovial cobalt]

idk lol jus didnt need to do it

i did the most stuff for mechanic for getting lightkeeper

[crude kraken]

gonna use physical cores and see how it goes

[willow tinsel]

i wish the highest enhancements you got on a weapon stayed instead of repairing it and get a possible lower enhancement

like from 20% weapon spread to 11% makes no sense

[abstract nymph]

Quick question, when you do "Getting Aquianted" to get lightkeeper, does the usb spawn in 1 of the twenty spawns or in couple of them

[willow tinsel]

1

[abstract nymph]

So you have to check twenty?

Why tf

[willow tinsel]

yea

[crude kraken]

playing with kino in the background is making resort less scary for me

[willow tinsel]

if youre lucky, it might just be upstairs on the shelf in building 3

[abstract nymph]

I hope

[willow tinsel]

Or one of the building 3 spawns atleast, otherwise, checkthe other 17

[crude kraken]

i wish you could check the ammo in the boxes my ass aint remembering how much pen a bullet has

[willow tinsel]

youll get it encoded in your brain at some point

[crude kraken]

i barely remember what things i do at work

i see it hard for that to happen

i know 7n40 is good

cuz i got hit by it in pvp and got 1 tapped

[willow tinsel]

unless its a 100 rounder box, you should always unpack them unless you want to sell it to flea

since most stacks goes up to either 70 or 80

some might be at 30 or 50, but thats usually 338's and 7.62x51

[crude kraken]

just killed a scav with only candy and juice in his backpack

did i kill a 12yo child lmao

[jovial cobalt]

swag

[crude kraken]

solves my issue of being scared of resort

[jovial cobalt]

im scared of getting my head exploded like watermelon by shturmans guards rn

[cosmic patrol]

i am.

[willow tinsel]

Geon hater

[cosmic patrol]

yes

rice.

[willow tinsel]

almost

[crude kraken]

shturman guards are scarier then shturman ngl

[cosmic patrol]

... rhys sounds like rice in estonian but u cant say R correctly.

[willow tinsel]

alot of people say it like that, but i dont mind it, and when they finally ask, i say its pronounced Reese

[vale atlas]

Weird so is my name

Everyones always like "What is an actual dinosaur doing here" and i have to correct them, its pronounced "Reese"

[raw nest]

We can’t help you

[compact folio]

Just saying my feelings here

R we deadass staff?

I mean all tarkov is saying bad words

Just saying my opinion in that message, why delete that?

It literally no word freedom then

[vale atlas]

its a discord where hte people in charge are mostly teenagers

You expect too much

[raw nest]

That’s a wrong way of thinking about running big community

[vale atlas]

I've ran bigger communities, I have a good idea of how to lol

[raw nest]

Bigger than 540k users?

[vale atlas]

Yeah, our last one had a few million

Luckily i dont have to deal with that anymore i quit that job in november lol

[wet bay]

Wait until I tell you to stop bypassing the automod

[split pilot]

That’s not a job, filling shelves in the supermarket is a job

[compact folio]

What automod?

[vale atlas]

Dealing with the discord wasn't my job role lol

I was a fraud analyst, i just also got roped into handling the discord because they kept flying through community managers

[compact folio]

So those 3 letters cant be written?

[raw nest]

Correct same as anything close to it

[compact folio]

Thats crazy

[wet bay]

Something about you knowing what the word is, also knowing that it's filtered, and abbreviating it as to not get filtered

https://tenor.com/view/shrug-dexter-morgan-idk-gif-2440520923239485215

[weary ice]

What happened?

[vale atlas]

naughty words

[wet bay]

Last I checked we've no underage staff members :)

[raw nest]

Gamer word

[weary ice]

Ohhh the racial slur gamer word?

[vale atlas]

Really?

[raw nest]

Yes

[weary ice]

That’s so corny

[wet bay]

Corny?

[weary ice]

Thinking it’s funny

That’s corny

Or cringe idk

[wet bay]

Hmm.

[vale atlas]

i'd go with "edgy"

Leans into cringe but is more specific

[wet bay]

What would be so "corny" about not having teenage staff members, though?

[vale atlas]

i dont think it was in relation to that lol

[wet bay]

Fair do's.

[weary ice]

Yeah it was the guy saying the slurs

[wet bay]

I mean it's just what it is, don't see how it's "corny".

Uncivilised in a public setting, sure. You do you in private, though.

[compact folio]

Used it as in the sentence not meaning it, just was saying what happend abt it, and didnt think it will be filtered here

[wet bay]

Have cat.
Name is Lowkey. (as in Loki)

[wet bay]

Sadly most community servers are forced into using discord's sub-lukewarm emotional intelligence filtering.

That is, it's filtering as if it was offended over you breathing.

[weary ice]

I’m still so incredibly gassy

wtf have I got

[vale atlas]

indigestion

[orchid axle]

Does Tape 1 of Blue FIre has 2 spawns and wiki aint updated yet?

[compact folio]

Ok, understand you

[odd gale]

That’s a good idea to be honest it can causes more issues

[weary ice]

How much exp does a boss kill give you?

[crude kraken]

why did sanitar walk outside the clinic to chase me and shoot me in the woods

[willow tinsel]

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

[tight mural]

They do that if you get too close and agro him

[weary ice]

Ths bro

[wet bay]

Can't really argue for or against it - I'm neutral on that one.
Merely stating the facts.

[odd gale]

That’s valid I’ve personally seen it beforehand even though I’m underage I agree that it should only be 18+

Just stating what I think^

[crude kraken]

i was not close to him whatsover i was placing markers outside the clinic

[vocal iris]

I threw a nade near tagilla to force a reset in the fight and he literally took a lap around factory

[vale atlas]

You dont need to be close enough to rub shoulders

[tight mural]

That's close enough. If there's a task up there at the resort and they are there, it's best to take them out because they will hunt you down up there.

[vale atlas]

If he can hear you, he can decide it is your time

[vocal iris]

he ran away, up into offices, third floor, on the catwalks, came all the way back around down the stairs then died

[crude kraken]

i didnt even know they were there 😭

i just got hit by 3 shots of a suppressed weapon and started booking it for the woods where i got shot again

[vale atlas]

oh you shouldn't have done that

The open is the worst place to be when things just shot at you

Trust me i'm a literal stegosaurus

[tight mural]

you always got to check boss spawn areas when your going there for a task

Start at one end of the resort and make your way around the entire first floor until you make it to the other side.

[weary ice]

this is true

[crude kraken]

noted, will do that

He became much less difficult for me

Like he literally stands in 1 place all the time

[weary ice]

I don’t know 🤷‍♂️

[vale atlas]

I've heard others saying this

They might have broke him

[mossy blade]

Like i was deadass scared of him and rn hes more of a dumbass than Reshala

Tagilla got buffed though

Also where do I find high tier 5.45 ammo

[vale atlas]

he used to sprint and dropshot me silently lol

Now he's just like a normal enemy

I'm ok with it

Petty vengeance at its finest

[civic gale]

whats the best map to do insomnia, ground zero?

[midnight jolt]

hello guys i 'm about to do the task where i have to kill 5 pmcs for the ticket but i want to know my rep with the btr i have read that if i have the unheard edition i will not need to finish all tasks for BTR can someone please confirm

[vale atlas]

Probably, though depends what maps you're most comfortable with

[mossy blade]

You need to do Discombobulate and Sensory Analysis part 2

[neat spoke]

Reserve

[mossy blade]

Like where on Reserve

[neat spoke]

Bunkers, dorms. All over

Roofs of dorms

What you looking for BP or BS? Whast it for Labyrinth?

Found it in the duffel at the taxi near to the crash site on reserve before extract!!

[rancid sundial]

I believe the loot pools are the same for PvP for this stuff, I find 5,45 in Lighthouse treatment plant and Reserve building rooftops. Also Tagia/Killa are typically good sources in the Labyrinth. Idk how hard it in in PvE though cause of AI PMCs

[neat spoke]

Yep

If you want Labyrinth run BS ammo, i have a better time than ppbs. PPBS has good pen but doesnt do enough damage

I found. Maybe its my playstyle?

[rancid sundial]

I was told you never really need like more than 50 pen in PvE for most stuff so yeah BS seems to be pretty perfect. Igołnik is annoying when headshots don’t kill from a range

[neat spoke]

Has like 30 dmg? I love BS

7n40 isnt bad for just general play

[fallen mason]

7n40 is great for general play.

I'd use it over BP any day.

[inland elk]

every raid i have had today ive found multiple Vodka

EFT must be celebrating something

[timid tendon]

7n40 is my favourite day to day bullets

[manic pewter]

Or its the fact its one of the most readily available and easily made liqours on the planet

[fallen mason]

7n40, m80a1, or CBJ are my go to day to day rounds

[timid tendon]

-cjb
+m855a1 cause i like the hk416

[inland elk]

yeah but its everwhere recently, im falling over bottles of th stuff, i never used to

[hybrid kernel]

yo after ive done BTR questline and sided with btr + done everything story chapter related besides the ticket, am i good to go to terminal to get savior ending or am i forgetting something

i figured id have to contact kerman after doing all this before turning up to terminal but apparently not ig?

[willow tinsel]

Yes

Turn in every evidence

You pressed the button before removing the flash drive in Interchange right

[mossy blade]

Ive also found it good for Interchange BEAR camps to have lots

Like loot ALL the rooftops on reserve?

[unique island]

YOU CAN SELL NOT FiR ITEMS ON THE FLEA NOW?

SINCE WHEN?

[willow tinsel]

since release

[sage marsh]

Bro hasn't played since release

[unique island]

No I just have never tried tbh haha

[sage marsh]

Wait til he finds out that crafted items count as FiR

[unique island]

oh I know that lol

[rancid sundial]

Oh yeah it's already looted by the time I get there so I didn't consider it

[mossy blade]

Are the rooftops/WTP consistent?

[rancid sundial]

mmmm u get lots of bullet types but you can always loot the rogues too

[mossy blade]

Rogues mostly have M855 no?

[timid tendon]

rogue ammo is lacklustre

[sage marsh]

Rogues are lackluster

Buff rogues

[timid tendon]

it'd be nice if more than like 4 rogues spawned on the map

[sage marsh]

It'd be nice if they weren't glued to thier mounted guns

I can sneak up and melee most of them lmao

[timid tendon]

no that's perfect it makes my 100 kill marathon easier

[sage marsh]

I just snipe them from Pride rock

[rancid sundial]

Yeah I don’t know why the rogue population went down ever since the goons boss rotation fiasco pre-1,0

[unique island]

Welp, at least I know what to do now with the keycards/keys I forget to pull out of my ass after a raid lol

[timid tendon]

because then people will complete the quests in a reasonable amount of time and we can't have that

[unique island]

I have like 10 RFID blank keycards sitting in my keycase and I have no idea what do with them

[sage marsh]

Just use em

[marble bronze]

Or sell em

[sage marsh]

They are an easy 350-500k per

[jade saffron]

think I am now at 10 lab runs and no gps in sight

[unique island]

Yeah Im doing that now that I know that you can sell non FiR items on flea

[neat spoke]

Yeah. Id like to see more than 3/4

[unique island]

I feel really stupid now that I know Ive sold black keycards to therapist since I thought you still couldnt sell FiR items on the flea

[neat spoke]

Goons are spawning a lot more now? Ive just ran into them again on Woods. I have them twice now in 2 raids

[willow tinsel]

dont think about it, roubles always come back

Unless you die once every 2 raids all the time, which i doubt

[unique island]

once every 5 or 6 more like LOL

usually to a boss

[neat spoke]

Depends, how agreesive or compalcent i get..

[sage marsh]

Blacks are easy money

[unique island]

I usually die because I make a bad call during a fight and get punished for it while fighting a boss/goons

[neat spoke]

I really struggled in Labyrinth with PPBS... was shocked. Had to keep retreating and healing

[neat spoke]

Yeah, i had the same last night. I killed pipe and knight and pushed birdseye.. got m80 to the head...

[unique island]

too many times for me haha. Learned to never push the goons the hard way.

[sage marsh]

Goons will run into your bullets

You just have to turn a corner

[neat spoke]

Fighting them on woods also. Was caught in the open

[crude kraken]

gunsmith part 4 wont work for me idk why

[neat spoke]

Which one is 4?

wait nvm

it was apparently not repaired even though i got it from the quest?!??!

true

[odd gale]

Just saw that now in the wiki

[unique island]

basically the strat for a lot of bosses tbf, just wait for them to come to you

[crude kraken]

i love reserves ngl

[willow tinsel]

is this where you bait me into asking why

[neat spoke]

I do too..I like shoreline also. Is it bad to say i dont mind streets either.

[rancid sundial]

Heaven forbid I want to grind past the annoying repetitive stuff 😭

[neat spoke]

Labyrinth is decent also... But ive done the story there, waiting on the LK quests

[neat spoke]

Later in the game, for when your escaping, you need to make your own Keycards

I think

Streets is decent too

[gaunt rune]

Hey guys haven't played in a few weeks or so, is there any event happening atm?

[willow tinsel]

no

apart from Reshala april fools event, which i dont know ended yet

[unique island]

anyone know a good way to find marked keys?

[raw nest]

Cultists

[willow tinsel]

hunt cultists

thats it

[unique island]

mmm, ill look up a guide then

[neat spoke]

Whast cultsts spawn %?

[neat spoke]

Scav case, cultist circle.

[neat spoke]

Where? I dont think ive ever seen them

[raw nest]

Depends on the map

Customs is 20%

[unique island]

only marked keys ive ever got was during that cultist event like a week ago, saw them on factory though I think it was an increased spawn rate due to the event

[raw nest]

Cultist event was 2-3 weeks ago

[unique island]

also anyone have tips for farming fence rep? Ive been doing car extracts but Im wondering if theres a viable way to get a coop extract on a map

Ive got it to trigger a couple of times but I think I got lucky

[willow tinsel]

If they spawn in Customs, its between panda building and crackhouse, if its Shoreline they can spawn at resort or neext to swamp, woods they usuaally spawn near the cultists circles

People say its a 2% spawn in Ground Zero aswell

but never met them there, so i dunno where i should look if they ever do spawn there

[raw nest]

2% gz 21+ at night. Any scav spawn

[willow tinsel]

and Factory, well yea, search everywhere, shouldnt be too hard as the map is so small

[willow tinsel]

my best advice when grinding fence rep, assuming you want max rep, is to go in as a scav, my preferred map would be Ground Zero and transit into Streets, then yell for scavs to help you when you spot a PMC and hope the scavs you told to help you die to the PMC's, youll get rep everytime a PMC is tagged by a scav, or tags a scav, or even more when PMC's kill the scavs

Map and transit is up to you

[unique island]

you can scream for help when you see a PMC?

is that F1?

[willow tinsel]

I binded mine to F1

double tap Y and look for the help emote

[vale atlas]

is scav transiting working again?

[willow tinsel]

I chose Ground Zero into Streets because Ground Zero has food, and lets be honest, my metabolism is not high enough for me to keep transiting without food.

and the fact that i dont need to bother with bosses when my scav rep were less than 6. only downside is you MIGHT run into Kollontays guards when transiting back into GZ

[neat spoke]

Ive seen them near the roadblock before, but that was a couple of wipes ago. I need to kill a priest for JAger

[willow tinsel]

That is if he spawns at the police station

[willow tinsel]

roadblock next to swamp is also where i meant

or where do you mean

[neat spoke]

The green container

Near path to lighthouse

[willow tinsel]

Yea, thats where i mean, its next to swamp

[unique island]

went and did that, will try your method when I get back from work. Thanks!

[willow tinsel]

just be sure not to be seen by Kollontay or his guards if you choose GZ and Streets, dont shoot back if they spot you, hope that they got potato aim and dance a little when transiting into GZ again

[autumn topaz]

why scav transit from custom to factory take so long I am wait 30 minutes and nothing ;-;

[neat spoke]

WHat times? How often?

[raw nest]

between 22-7
They can spawn on the initial spawn or mid raid

[willow tinsel]

dont know the exact spawn rates on them now on shoreline

[vale atlas]

Its broken atm, if it takes longer than 5-6 just alt f4

It wont load in

[willow tinsel]

i usually grind them on customs, its fast and i can potentially meet Reshala and goons on the way or they spawn even after i killed those two groups of bosses

never wanted to grind them on shoreline, i dont like to keep watch in every bush when they reposition

[autumn topaz]

I restarted the game and my scav had all the stuff what da heck

like where you choose PMC or scav

[raw nest]

Yea

It's a bug with transit

[vale atlas]

Best to just avoid transiting as scav right now

[neat spoke]

Why do people put keys up on flea for cheaper than what a trader pays?

[raw nest]

they don't check with traders

[neat spoke]

Ill happily buy keys for 30k and sell them to the trader for 80K haha

[raw nest]

easy money

[vale atlas]

Shhh dont alert them

Its usually one bad decision being undercut by everyone else

[lethal garnet]

ALERT

[vale atlas]

Easy money for everyone that knows the values of them

No stop that

[lethal garnet]

[vale atlas]

bad

[lethal garnet]

😈

i’ll be informing the authorities

[vale atlas]

They'll never take me alive

[lethal garnet]

bonk bonk bonk bonk bonk

[wild frost]

I sold a model 1 with ADAR upper receiver on flea

Im i guilty

[fallen mason]

"O-Block_KingVon" with anime PFP checks out.

[willow tinsel]

no, the person buying it is guilty

you wanna buy an M4 clone with a higher price and only a lil difference in stats for a million rouble or so, you better look at the product youre buying

[untold condor]

anybody else had the issue of the game crashing on loading in? if so is there a fix?

[split pilot]

A friend had this issue on his laptop, the fix was us laughing at him to get a real pc

[vale atlas]

Set big pagefile

I was crashing a while back like that because my pagefile wasn't strong

Had to give it 32gb

[distant obsidian]

Good man

[distant obsidian]

No issue here

[unique island]

Note that it can lead to pretty big stutters while playing if you rely on pagefile changes, the only real permanent solution is to buy more RAM

Tarkov remains to be the only game I have ever upgraded my PC for, 8GB of RAM and HDDs to 32GB and an SSD

[distant obsidian]

Yeah, 32g ddr4 min

[unique island]

I can understand the hesitation though definately, money isnt exactly easy to come by nowadays esspecially with how expensive PC parts are getting

I was just lucky enough to purchase my upgrades way before parts shot up in price a few years ago

[distant obsidian]

At the same time, people on budget gaming PCs not being able to run all games isnt a new concept either

If you're on a potato. You're just not going to run every game.

[lethal garnet]

i can run all the games

[distant obsidian]

Same

[obsidian raven]

I can run all the games I want to run does that count lol

[unique island]

Im on what people would probably consider a mega budget PC (1050ti, 32BG of DDR4, AMD Ryzen 5, 4GB VRAM) and I can run basically everything I want to play, even some pretty new releases

sure it isnt like 60+ fps but if you live in a third world country like mine you really take what you can get

[distant obsidian]

I assume 1080?

[distant obsidian]

Yes

[unique island]

worse, GTX 1050ti

[distant obsidian]

No I meant res

[unique island]

oh lol

1080p all the way

[fair dawn]

my 7900xtx better be able to run all the games lol

[distant obsidian]

Ah yeah. Seems like you can get away with a lot at 1080p. That's a good thing

[distant obsidian]

Takes more then a gpu

[unique island]

sometimes I lower the resolution scale depending on the game or use things like FSR

[fair dawn]

okay, and my 64gb of ddr5 ram, Ryzen 3900X

those being the main bits

[obsidian raven]

I recently bought a rtx 5070, it was crap so I put my 3080 ti Fe back in and returned it. I still have a backup pc with a 1080 ti

[fair dawn]

that make game run good

[distant obsidian]

5070 is def better then a 3080ti lol.

[unique island]

but otherwise I can play games like BF6 and Ready or Not comfortably above 30 fps

[obsidian raven]

no its not i promise

[unique island]

which is fine by me

[distant obsidian]

Yeah def not

Yeah, I need at least 80+ in my games.

As long as I get that, settings are cranked

[unique island]

when the median income of your country is 400 USD a month, you really cant ask for much haha

[steep kettle]

RTX 5090 + 9800X3D here: Game still runs like shit : /

[unique island]

I dream of the day when I could crank all those settings up and still float above 60 comfortably

[distant obsidian]

Yeah, gotta do what ya gotta do

[unique island]

Still better than a console tbh LOL

[distant obsidian]

Then you have something wrong. You can easily get stable frames around 80-140 depending on res and setting. Map to cause lul streets

[obsidian raven]

thats is just tarkov

[unique island]

Weirdly enough after I got 32 GB of ram and an SSD I never really had any real problems with Tarkov

and I did that upgrade like 2-3 years ago?

[steep kettle]

Running at 4K max settings, RAM cleaner on, no DLSS. Horrible performance as soon as a lot of shit is happening and when you turn the camera against most of the map/open areas.

[obsidian raven]

I just put in 128 gigs of ram and still get the wonderful crashes lol

[distant obsidian]

Yeah it's no wonder your game runs like shit lol

[distant obsidian]

Takes more then ram.

[unique island]

tbf I could just be lucky, Im also the guy who has never had New Vegas or Siege ever bug out or crash on me and never seems to have any problems with games where people seem to have nonstop problems with

[distant obsidian]

Man, it's no wonder people have issues with this game. They build a PC and think they don't need to learn what settings do

Ardent has a PC from 8 years ago and his game probably runs better then zonny and valind because he knows what he's doing lol

[obsidian raven]

I only crash when map load in with 3 or more people

[distant obsidian]

Yeah that's a you issue lol

[unique island]

tbf when you have a PC that old you have to be pretty crafty when it comes to getting performance out of your games

[distant obsidian]

And valind complains about terrible frames when he maxes the setting at 4k and doesn't use dlss. Lol no fucking duh your getting shit frames lol

Imagine being surprised by that

[steep kettle]

Why would I want to use DLSS and make everything turn from shit into even worse shit? Smudges, ghosting etc

[distant obsidian]

I'm not going to argue with you. You made up your mind dlss sucks

[obsidian raven]

in game I never have an issue get about 140 fps on most maps no frame drops for the most part it runs really smooth

[unique island]

I think I only have such good performance because of all the research I do and the troubleshooting, which honestly isnt fun

[distant obsidian]

It doesn't, but nothing I tell you will changer that

[distant obsidian]

Exactly. Then you get people like valind that can't be bothered and complains the game runs like shit

[obsidian raven]

DLSS is a life changer if your settings are right

[distant obsidian]

You have to learn things. That is life

[fair dawn]

There are ppl who only know complaining. he is one of them

[distant obsidian]

Dlss works great in game. I use L preset because I did research

[distant obsidian]

True this

More money the brains and complain when it doesn't work

[fair dawn]

the only thing i will complain about in this game is kaban having shit loot 9\10 times

[distant obsidian]

Lol

[unique island]

I mean for me what really helps with performance and crashing is running the game on the BSG servers

[fair dawn]

it pisses me off

[distant obsidian]

Game servers generally help lower end PCs yeah

And with queue times being sooooo short. Servers are a good move for most

[obsidian raven]

preach kind sir preach!

[unique island]

I can run on local pretty okay (above 30 fps for my standards) but on BSG it goes up to even 60 if it isnt streets

[distant obsidian]

Yesh

No one really gets good frames on Streets. Best you can hope is acceptable

[obsidian raven]

If I can get above 60 on streets I am happy lol

[unique island]

Streets floats around 40 to 50 for me, which is still very playable in my opinion

[distant obsidian]

It is

As long as it's a fairly stable 50

[unique island]

stability is always king when it comes to games I learned

[distant obsidian]

Yep. I don't need high frames I need stable frames

[unique island]

I could play 30 fps no problem as long as it stays there

[distant obsidian]

Ok not that low lol

[unique island]

god I remember when I used to play Tarkov on a GTX 750 LOL

[distant obsidian]

I still need my 80+ in every case I can.

[unique island]

I mean if you got the hardware, then you should benefit from it right?

why buy all those expensive parts and equipment if you arent gonna go for the luxury?

[distant obsidian]

Yeah exactly

9800 x3d and a 5080 here. 32g ddr5

[unique island]

Im just happy to be able to enjoy games given my countries poor economy and my humble living situation haha

[distant obsidian]

Funny even then, you need frame gen now to run games at max with ray tracing.

Mhm

[unique island]

you could probably buy a car with that money where I live

HAHA

[distant obsidian]

Defiantly

[unique island]

optimization really hit the ball when it came to games in the modern day

[cosmic patrol]

u prolly can buy a car with that typa money anywhere

just... varies on quality then

[unique island]

I remember geeking out when they put all of Resident Evil 2 on a N64 cartidge

now a game requires a fifth of a TB in space just to run

[fair dawn]

just imagine GTA 6

well over half a TB

for sure

[unique island]

I dont want to think about it, GTA died for me after they went all in on GTA V multiplayer and they scrapped the singleplayer DLC

[bronze saddle]

wait..... the parking gate on Labs is not guaranteed?

[fair dawn]

ive alwasy been there for the singleplayer.. its just what i grew up on. found it to be the best

[fair dawn]

nope 🙂

[unique island]

Folks like me remember San Andreas and thinking gaming was never gonna get larger haha

[fair dawn]

how could it right? Lol

[unique island]

didnt have a paradigm shift like that since Daggerfall

[autumn topaz]

can an aussie like me play with NAW players or is it a struggle?

[unique island]

Ive ran woods 5 times and I have yet to see the stupid car extract spawn LOL

[unique island]

You get kicked automatically if you float around a ping higher than 160 I think so it might be a problem

[autumn topaz]

ts killed me the first time I went to woods with my friend we tried going to UN extract and ended up at car extract and there was no car there and then we got AWOL 😭

[fair dawn]

i miss when it was a guarantee spawn

[bronze saddle]

that woods vextract is aids

[unique island]

Me when I spend the next 30 minutes luring a scav to friendship bridge to try to scav extract only to do the 10 minute walk of shame to ZB 14 LOL

[distant obsidian]

Parking and hanger are not guaranteed no

[distant obsidian]

What a great game

[unique island]

Personal favorite will always be Vice City but San Andreas was a literal industry changer

[distant obsidian]

Should have killed each other. No insurance from mia

[distant obsidian]

I wasn't a big vice city fan. San Andreas was my jam

[unique island]

fair haha

[west sigil]

I feel personally insulted every time I search an ammo box and find a pack of PRS rounds

Like Nikita's just taunting me

[fresh warren]

how can I obtain a customs plan map without buying it from the flea

[distant obsidian]

What do you need that for?

[west sigil]

You could find one online and print it for exta immersion

[unique island]

I personally feel insulted when I kill Kaban and all he has is an LMG with PS and his 2 guaranteed keys

[fresh warren]

I lowk just wanna map the maps, even if they are extremely outdated

(im bored!!)

[distant obsidian]

Therapist sells maps

[unique island]

you can get it from therapist I think after doing a certain quest

[fresh warren]

not customs one

[unique island]

or a certain rep

[fresh warren]

no she literally does not sell it

[unique island]

hmm not sure then, Ill check my therapist when I can since I have her at max rep but I did see her have a map for every map last time I checked

[west sigil]

PS is, at the very least, semi-usable. Is it good? Absolutely not, but it beats PRS or US ammo.

[fresh warren]

she has:
Shoreline, Shoreline Resort, Factory, Interchange

she doesn't have:
Woods (I think you can get that from a quest), Customs

[unique island]

yeah, but no keycards or red rouble? After all the M856A1 I threw at him at his guards just to get here HAHA

[fresh warren]

all the other maps dont have a map afaik ingame

[distant obsidian]

Loot it in game then or scav box

[fair dawn]

Again. i hate that kaban only has good shit 1\10 times you kill him. i normaly farm him but im getting tired of getting garbo

[west sigil]

Yeah that's bullshit. Sorry to hear that happens to you.

[distant obsidian]

I just craft bt

[tight mural]

SP BT is the ultimate disrespect lol

[unique island]

Its alright, considering I only was able to do it for the first time like yesterday was reward enough already. A rush like that is why I play this game haha

Now the next time I stick him in his stupid face and he still has garbage then I will be mad HAHA

[fair dawn]

i just got two Blank RFI cards off of scavs in woods. tf

[gentle pulsar]

consider yourself lucky

[unique island]

I once found two blank RFI cards in a random scavs pocket while I was on GZ

[fair dawn]

i now have 4 total, but my other two came from labs

[unique island]

I had 10 of them until I sold all of them, keep finding them

[west sigil]

Why can't I use my weapon sights anymore?

[unique island]

Would really love a marked key tbh, have like 2000 hours in the game over multiple wipes and Ive only organically found a marked key once

[gentle pulsar]

you werent here for cultist key event?

[distant obsidian]

?

[fair dawn]

i would like another marked key, that would be nice

[fresh warren]

I found a marked key in the first jacket I opened after 1.0 dropped lol

[west sigil]

When I right click, I just zoom in, without actually using my optic.

[fresh warren]

made literally 2m profit because the marked rooms were TRASH when I opened it

[west sigil]

I'm not wearing a big mask or an altyn or something like that

[unique island]

I dont count that and even then, it was like a RB VO key and like 2 RB BKs after running factory night like 20 times in a row

to be fair it was my first time ever properly hunting cultists so I didnt really know what I was doing

[gentle pulsar]

then you started very late

the initial cultists were giving like 2-3 keys, per cultist

they nerfed it progressively

same with the weapon cases, they used to give you 2 rolls per crate

[west sigil]

It's in #screenshots

[gentle pulsar]

halfway through the event it got lowered

but i got a vast majority of marked room keys from that event, from streets to reserve to customs

[fresh warren]

was this the latest event

thought it was all bosses on one map

[gentle pulsar]

yeah

[unique island]

well for mine it was only because I only got to kill the head cultist and had to quick extract cause I got poisoned by his guards

[fresh warren]

I didnt play it

[gentle pulsar]

well, besides april fools, yes

[fresh warren]

nor do I have the stuff to hunt cultists (it's scery 👻)

[tight mural]

its was 3 events rolled out into 1, smugglers, cultist and bosses all happened in the same week

[unique island]

again, first time ever hunting cultists

[fresh warren]

so what map were all bosses on

[west sigil]

I tried it on a bone-stock AK74N and they're still not working, does annybody know what's going on?

[tight mural]

Reserve

[fresh warren]

that was the best event by far when we first got it

reserve was just sniping them all day lowk

[tight mural]

I didn't find out about the cultist until the last day. I found them on ground zero a couple times.

[primal heath]

Question my Scav appears to be glitched out

[jade saffron]

finally found my GPS unit
to realize I am missing a cofdm found in raid

[primal heath]

I keep dying and extracting but i get the same scav everytime and no loot

[jade saffron]

what map you playing?

[primal heath]

factory

[silk stirrup]

Guys have you boys seen partyman (i know its partisan) lately?

[jade saffron]

think that is locally hosted?
maybe switch map (reserve) and select to play on BSG servers

think that fixed it for me when I had that issue

[west sigil]

Can anybody tell me why the game isn't allowing me to use my sights anymore?

[primal heath]

ok thank you!

2nd question does max strength start giving exp to endurance after its maxes

[tight mural]

the gym does, but you have to keep your overall weight in the green to aquire xp for endurance.

[primal heath]

cracker jack

[hybrid kernel]

are labrynth raids run locally on pve or on bsg servers like shoreline

[primal heath]

final question how the hell does ANYONE use the AS val? the rounds you can get from store suck

[tight mural]

replied to the wrong person lol

[silk stirrup]

What???😂😂

[gentle pulsar]

your loadout weight

[tight mural]

lol my bad bro

[gentle pulsar]

running overweight levels strength

running underweight levels endurance

[silk stirrup]

No issues sir

[west sigil]

That explains a lot.

[silk stirrup]

I need the parmesan man tell me if you see him around boys

[tight mural]

the SPP rounds are okay. I have yet to unlock the SP-6's which have a way better pen then the 5's do.

[primal heath]

yea but you have to Outposts which is literally one of the most annoying quests in PVE

[tight mural]

for the SP-6's? I've had the SPP's ulocked for sometime now, I can't remember the quest for that one.

[primal heath]

whichever is the 48 Pen has to be capturing outposts

which like I said is one of THE MOST Annoying I;ve tried to do it for so many raids

[tight mural]

ah yeah that one is annoying, I think I got 2 PMCs killed at Emercom in woods. I hardly ever see PMCs on woods,

[west sigil]

The fact that you need found in raid red pliers to finish dismantling the wall is bullshit

[tight mural]

If you're looking for quick tools and fast raids, hit the parking garage area on ground zero, tons of tool boxes and crates full of tools.

[west sigil]

The undergound? That's one of my usual haunts.

Oh, the TerraGroup building garage?

[tight mural]

yeah, the underground area from end to end usually spawns in what you're looking for. Plus the little Lexos place has a couple toolboxes there. I like that map for quick farming of basic items like that.

[agile mantle]

what do yall eat

[west sigil]

I get bad frames on every map that isn't Factory.

Used to be fine before 1.0

[tight mural]

don't forget the corridors under the skyside hotel too.

[west sigil]

Oh, the game reset my screen config to fullscreen instead of borderless

That's much better now

[fair dawn]

Woods is the only map I do not want to find the goons on. I cannot see them, but they see me 200 meters away

[tight mural]

I got chased all the way from USEC camp to the Saw Mill by them the other day.

Does anybody know if the Bloodhounds are still in the game?

[covert anvil]

I'd say more like 400-500 at least

[placid jetty]

What would y'all say is the overall best sniper in this game? I've been using the T-5000 but seems at long range it doesn't do much

[simple briar]

DVL or any Lapua

[raw nest]

t-5000 is pretty much as good as it gets for 7.62Nato in EFT

just use tracers for long range sniping

[simple briar]

or if you suck with long range headshots do Hobby Club and unlock AK Guy 50cal

[placid jetty]

I do have the AK 50 actually but seems from (for example) Pride Rock on LH to Building #1 of Water Treatment I can't snipe the mounted gunner efficently with the T-5k

[bronze saddle]

really sick and tired of losing limbs i SHOULDNT be losing...

[latent sierra]

holy moly. 2 red rebels, 1 btc and an injector case from dorm marked

[raw nest]

Use proper zeroing and tracers

[simple briar]

you got gun ranged correctly? every building with mgs is around 300m and front gate with mg and gl is 200 from the rocks

if you got range right you can snipe them even with 556 or 545

[placid jetty]

Hm I don't use rangefinders but maybe it do be a skill issue if I can't read the bars on a scope correctly

[latent sierra]

is the TKPD good/ worth turning in 2 red rebels for?

[glossy bloom]

Far back building is over 400m, even a AXMC with 20x scope had trouble hitting

[raw nest]

Yes more guns to shot

[glossy bloom]

personally, I'd say yes; good pen, high damage DMR, solid upgrade over SVD

[bronze saddle]

i snipe the rogues with a hybrid sights. not the best, but hey it works

[latent sierra]

ive never even seen the weapon before so is it basically just a better SVD?

[glossy bloom]

44 pen, 115 damage on FMJ alone

[simple briar]

#screenshots message @glossy bloom @placid jetty

[junior tapir]

does arena like skill levels work for pve too or just pvp?

[glossy bloom]

ranges, and nice

[willow tinsel]

transfers to both pve and pvp

[glossy bloom]

not where I was thinking

[willow tinsel]

but idk, some people apperently has it bugged for some reason

[junior tapir]

ah okay, im struggling to notice a difference. Thankya!

[willow tinsel]

np

[merry sigil]

anyone else experiencing delayed matching time on reserve?

[raw nest]

Don’t mention that website because it’s against eft ToS. Any community input on goons doesn’t matter because they no longer rotate.

[deep badge]

Good to know thank you!

[covert anvil]

They were on the Shoreline like 3 hours ago. I'm guessing they're definitely not there now.

[fringe berry]

Is the airdrop frequency still stupidly high?

[deep badge]

yes lol

[willow tinsel]

as mentioned before, they dont rotate for now, they spawn in the maps where they usually spawn

Being Lighthouse, Woods, Customs and Shoreline

[covert anvil]

Is the chance known? Because at that time they were spawning every raid, but a few hours before that, in 10 raids, they hadn't spawned at all.

[scenic brook]

??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

[willow tinsel]

I would guess their spawn rate is their normal spawn rate, but i dont know, you could be running Customs the whole day and meet them if you wanna farm them there

or any map you rather like to farm them on

Not meeting them for 10 raids is just being unlucky with spawn or lucky, depending on how you look at it

[cunning sequoia]

How long will i have to wait for prapors info after giving 1mil usd

[topaz void]

Can pkp jam?

[willow tinsel]

just keep in mind, 30% or 35% or whatever their spawn rate is doeesnt mean you can count on meeting them once every 3 games - its a spawn chance, your chances of missing them for 10 raids is possible ofc

[tight mural]

I think so, it's the RPD that doesn't jam

[topaz void]

Ive been using one for like 50 raids

It hasn't jammed 1 time, 30 dura

I guess its open bolt

[surreal pond]

pkp does jam

[west sigil]

For a shopping mall, I really expected Interchange to have more of... well, anything.

[distant obsidian]

No

[west sigil]

Also I died to Killa which sucks

[distant obsidian]

Lower the dura the worse the accuracy gets though

[astral kindle]

Wrong

RPD cant, PKM and PKP can

[surreal pond]

ive had pkp jam and its has the longest animation to unjam it

[west sigil]

But there's fucking nothing in there, every store is totally devoid of lootable objects.

[distant obsidian]

O look at that, it can

[topaz void]

Learn the keys, theres plenty of loot to be had

[west sigil]

Is that just how it is in PvE now? Every map has shit loot except for key rooms?

[astral kindle]

Keyrooms also have shit loot

[topaz void]

It has nothing to do with gamemode

[willow tinsel]

as it prolly would be if people are fighting for scarce resource in that world

[west sigil]

Well, it's like that for every map I've been on.

[topaz void]

No? Ultramed and kiba are stacked atm? Tf u talking bout

[astral kindle]

Both been shit loot for me

[topaz void]

Bis lvl 6 plates and leddies nearly every raid for me

[tight mural]

interchange is one of the best maps for loot. I got almost 800k from Goshan registers alone. Plus theres Kiba and Ultra medical.

[astral kindle]

~5 opens, 0 leddies and maybe handful of lvl 6 plates which i can buy from ragman

[west sigil]

With all due respect, "get lucky and find a key" is not good advice.

[topaz void]

Can you read? I said LEARN

[tight mural]

you can buy the keys

[topaz void]

Enough braindead pve chat for me

[willow tinsel]

Monarch, what are you exactly looking for in particular, if its just loot, Outskirts of Interchange has plenty

[west sigil]

Weapons, ammo, food, red pliers, valuables.

[willow tinsel]

Outskirts

[west sigil]

There's that one part of Gorshan that has food

But only that specific corner

[willow tinsel]

Tagillas hideout is nice too

[west sigil]

I would assume Kiba has guns and ammo but you need a key for that and they're probably expensive.

[odd oak]

Any new codes

[astral kindle]

No

[tight mural]

you got to spend money to make money Monarch

[odd oak]

Aww see I thought since it was Easter they would

[topaz void]

Best ammo spots are labs and mvd / parking utility on streets, get high tier ammo like its nothing

Keys are very cheap

[astral kindle]

There was one during april fools but no easter keys yet

[west sigil]

That's actually very good to know. Thank you.

[astral kindle]

So unlucky with streets PMCs :C

[topaz void]

No worries, for labs go to residential unit and hit the weapon rack, its free

[astral kindle]

Instantly 4 PMCs when complained

[bronze saddle]

great.... i cant change my fucking plates... im fucked

great bug

[willow tinsel]

Drop them on the floor

instead of draggin it unto your backpack

Pick them up, there you go

[bronze saddle]

CANT

[willow tinsel]

You cant press your delete button on those plates?

[astral kindle]

Can you shoot or reload? Thinking if you got "busy hands" bug

[bronze saddle]

all i cant do is change my plates.. this sum bullshit

[jolly bough]

Cant stash moon shine for provocation

lightkeeper

[astral kindle]

Go for transit and activate it, then run back to saferoom

Yes i know it sounds stupid but it works

[west sigil]

Nikita heard you

[willow tinsel]

is it the bug where the plates wont go off?

[bronze saddle]

YE

[willow tinsel]

Then do what the fuck i say

Press

Delete

On those plates

[astral kindle]

Oh lmao GPU from dead scav as i'm about to exfil

[bronze saddle]

i feel like Tyler1... GET THIS SHIT OFF MEEEE!! AAAAAAA literally lol

[west sigil]

Balancing P1 is such a dumb quest
"I need you to kill scavs with an AUG, here's an AUG A1 and some of the worst 5.56 ammo in the game"

This funny to you, Ref? You havin' a chuckle? Cause I'm not laughing.

[willow tinsel]

while your rig/armor is in your backpack or on the ground ofc

And then pick those plates off from the ground

[bronze saddle]

dude its not my first time changing plates, i know this

[willow tinsel]

well did it work

[topaz void]

Any ideas which containers drop Odontovich? My last item for kappa, scavs arent blessing me

[astral kindle]

Scavs only far as i know

[cosmic patrol]

Your best luck is SCAVs imo

[topaz void]

You guys never got it out of a sportsbag or anything?

[cosmic patrol]

I know with christmas it was easy, since they were loose loot at the trees. But otherwise I've only seen em on SCAVs

but duffel bags pretty sure can spawn almost anything in the game, so they could be there too. I'd say check the wiki, see if that has any more listed info on it

[topaz void]

I did take em from the trees, but sold them all thinking it wasnt a kappa item ;_;

[west sigil]

You know this AUG is actually kind of nice.

[willow tinsel]

Same buddy, same

[topaz void]

Wiki is shy of info unfortunately

[bronze saddle]

im not gonna even ask how, but after unloading 60 kilos to the BTR i can now change my plates... such BS

at least im good now

[median frigate]

Think i had it once or twice in a bag, but many more times on a scav

[topaz void]

I suppose ill keep spamming factory then 🫡

[median frigate]

Try ground zero maybe
I had more luck there looking for my drd / ushanka / peanut mask

[topaz void]

Ill give it a shot

[west sigil]

Wait, Tagilla spawns on Interchange, now?

[astral kindle]

Into hes cage down at basement, yes with 50% chance

[west sigil]

Neat.

Anything good in there?

[distant obsidian]

100% Intel spawn and tech soawns

[astral kindle]

Rare spawns and such, GPUs quite commonly

[west sigil]

Interesting. Where in the garage is it?

[astral kindle]

Below goshan, check map from wiki

[west sigil]

Wait, I see it. Back by Smuggler's Tunnel

[marsh wing]

where do PMC's like to hang out on LH?

[astral kindle]

Both challets, village, shrunken house, along road

[marsh wing]

gracias Kurumi

[distant obsidian]

Smugglers tunnel? Is that the extract you need the plan for?

[marsh wing]

yeah

[west sigil]

I don't think it's always open, anyway.

[distant obsidian]

O. Then yes that's his hideout

It's always open

You need the plan

[marsh wing]

its always open. It just requires the plan

can be found in containers around the map or 100% on Killa

[young frost]

... theres a shrunken house ?

[marsh wing]

they meant Sunken house

[astral kindle]

You know, that collapsed building

Yeah sometimes mistypos happens when english isn't first language :p

[young frost]

oh damn. i was hoping that there was like a hobbithole that i overlooked

[astral kindle]

[bronze saddle]

hurray...... i survived.... wish i had more time during my labs raid to extract rather than transit....

[umbral void]

anyone runninmg terminal???

[marsh wing]

#pve-lfg

[umbral void]

looking there too lol

[west sigil]

Interesting.

[marsh wing]

wait, so AP-20 is just a 1 shot kill?

[brazen minnow]

is it patch the thingy that if you kill zryachi with the dspt in ur stash it doesnt deactivate it?

[past breach]

Is terminal is server hosted or local?

[astral kindle]

Server

[raw nest]

Only server side

[past breach]

Like labirynth then

[west mist]

lul, so i ran into the goons, gunned down knight and big pipe

couldnt find birdeye

[astral kindle]

No need to worry about terminal, if you die your character gets rolled back to exact same as you had before you transit in

[west mist]

later, when i was going back to loot the plates off pipe i hear "i'm out of ammo guys"
and i'm like, i recognize that voice, bro was up on a little sniper platform above me 0'd out on ammo

[astral kindle]

Of course you'll loose terminal keycard

[cosmic patrol]

Oh fuck me. white bacardi is fucking me.

[past breach]

Yeah I read that, although I still need to do few story chapters

[pseudo kayak]

nikita should give you the ability to larp as a woman char

[astral kindle]

I was gonna say something but i'd rather not

[past breach]

I still remember Nik saying woman are too weak.

Then he apologize

[pseudo kayak]

dw i ws hoping tyreall was here so i could get my daily ragebait outta the way

[astral kindle]

But whole reason for no women in tarkov is rigging and modelling

[cosmic patrol]

I mean... he is not the sharpest tool in the shed.

[past breach]

To be fair... When they add modding support that will be solved

[past breach]

[astral kindle]

If we are lucky, earliest at tarkov 3.0

[past breach]

[unique tinsel]

anyone know why after ive gotten all the quest items from moremans grave site it says i dont have his phone in the crafting interface but i do on the story quest tab?

[distant obsidian]

It won't be external mods

Bsg already confirmed it will be PvE only in game modifiers like Changi g weather and stuff

[marsh wing]

lel

[past breach]

You know what also wasn't be? PvE.

Until they add it we can't be sure

They changed their mind more than myself

[distant obsidian]

You can use that loose reasoning for literally anything. So no

Bsg isn't going to allow external mods to their game

[past breach]

Yes, because its bsg. Logic doesn't apply to

[willow tinsel]

they saw an income from PVE, thats it

[past breach]

Sure buddy, Nik said they never add PvE.

[marsh wing]

if they dont like dataminers, they wont add external mods

[distant obsidian]

Yes it does. Very much so

[past breach]

Then where are guns confirmed in 2019? Where are attachments they showed off? Where is my btr boss?

[distant obsidian]

They never said they wouldn't add dragons so we could get dragons. See how stupid that thought process sounds?

[west sigil]

Nikita looked at the lever-action and said "We need to put a limit on how much ammo those filthy westeners can buy for their cowboy gun."
(it's because .308 ME LOKT does 96 flesh damage)

[past breach]

Its not stupid if you have logic and not bs like this example.

[stone goblet]

[marsh wing]

ngl, im with Tyreall on this

[distant obsidian]

Yours sounds like this. It's terrible reasoning

[marsh wing]

this all started from someone wanting to see women playable in the game, didnt it?

[past breach]

Nikita said there won't be PvE.

[raw nest]

Yes

[obsidian herald]

did anyone try to solo the labyrinth in pve?

[raw nest]

yea

[past breach]

Yes me

[obsidian herald]

is it doable/

[willow tinsel]

alot of people do

[raw nest]

yes

[willow tinsel]

ofc it is

[past breach]

Yeah just bring high pen round like SNB

[marsh wing]

yeah, im not misoginistic, but they wont give players the ability to have female playable characters or people of color. Russia is just built that way

[obsidian herald]

SNB is hard to find

[past breach]

Shturman

[marsh wing]

@jovial cobalt tried and failed to use a gun so he got swung on by Tagilla

[obsidian herald]

ooh ok

the guards are something

[past breach]

How them being Russian has anything to do with it?

[obsidian herald]

and Tagilla is a nother

[obsidian herald]

🥹

[marsh wing]

Correct me if im wrong, but Russia as a country isnt a big fan of people of color and doesnt look to highly upon women

i could be dead wrong tho

[jolly bough]

was there any way to cancel a transit

or is it go or die

[marsh wing]

nope

[stone goblet]

i think this is now getting to that point where we should stop

[jolly bough]

got it

[raw nest]

100%

[past breach]

Uhhh? Theres russian game caliber and it has women

[jolly bough]

anyways transit worked some actual bullshit that stops you from placing the moonshine

[marsh wing]

my bad

[distant obsidian]

O, just noticed chek said stop. I was scrolled up

[stone goblet]

im chek now

[marsh wing]

Hi chek

[distant obsidian]

Lol I can't read

[azure canopy]

Its actually fairly easy because you just fight 6 dudes and its done
High pen high damage ammo works fine
I have cleared it with an X-17 and one 50-round magazine of M80A1
You spawn separately from your teammates anyway so theres a decent chance one team member will be forced to get 100% of the kills anyway as the first person to catch aggro will get rushed

[distant obsidian]

Hi Butch

[stone goblet]

hello

[past breach]

Svd with SNB works for me

[marsh wing]

butch. Reset the timeline with a prapor gif

[stone goblet]

negative

hard negative
