[jovial cobalt]

unless theyve changed it

[acoustic sequoia]

what

no, that didnt happen to me

but i guess thats why im exploding and finding "ghost" mines now in 1.0

[distant obsidian]

wtf is a ghost mine

termianl is minned all around it, they are not ghost mines

[acoustic sequoia]

well just a mine that isnt on any known map of the game nor planted by a boss

[distant obsidian]

where was this "ghost: mine

cause every map has all the mines shown

[west sigil]

Zirachy went around Tarkov and planted magic invisible mines on every map to fuck with us

[acoustic sequoia]

#screenshots message

i wasnt even close to the water

[distant obsidian]

iudk wtf map you have but that is all minned

https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Shoreline?

use wiki maps

[acoustic sequoia]

in the wiki map i dont see it mined either

[whole birch]

what is the goon spawnrate on pve?

[distant obsidian]

are you fucking kidding me

[jovial cobalt]

30% customs lighthouse shoreline 25% woods

[distant obsidian]

I literally posted it and linked the wiki

#screenshots

I cannot make this any easier for you

[whole birch]

where do u get this info? i cant find any spawnrates on the wiki

[acoustic sequoia]

well i was looking at hte link you sent, but in another map apparently

[jovial cobalt]

i have played those maps so many times that i have created those percentages by experience

jk but its just common knowledge

[west sigil]

I upped EFT's priority in task manager and it seems to be running a lot better now.

[acoustic sequoia]

@distant obsidian my bad, but the "interactive' map isnt updated

[fair dawn]

HELL YES

[distant obsidian]

#screenshots yes it is

[west sigil]

Hopefully I can do a Reserve raid without my game crashing, I gotta do Disease History.
If you'd like to tag along I wouldn't say no to an extra pair of hands.

[fair dawn]

What vc?

[west sigil]

#46

I gotta fill up my water so I'll be back

[acoustic sequoia]

thats exactly what i was seeing, terrible choice of colors because it doesnt looks like its mined, in fact if somebody reads up that part of the map without knowing the mehcanic there with a keycard, would know thats instakill zone

[acoustic sequoia]

(Which is my case btw)

[weary ice]

if u still doing it, i also gotta do the same quest

if i can join

[west sigil]

We are not going to Reserve because they haven't fixed the crashing issue.

[weary ice]

Oh alright

[west sigil]

If you'd like to come with us to Customs we're going there.

I have to do a quest for Ref

[weary ice]

Yh sure why not I gotta get some kills for a quest

[west sigil]

Voice room 37

[vale atlas]

Does it wait until train turns up or is it happening prior?

[jovial cobalt]

ah so that's why i crashed on local reserve

[quartz storm]

well, I have officially shot myself in the foot
finally decided since im level 52 I should see how close I am to kappa
all I am missing is gunsmith

which is timegated

[west sigil]

Ha ha

[timid tendon]

yeah wow what is up with reserve? 3 out of 4 of us crashed on load

is that new

[vale atlas]

I nearly unlocked lightkeeper but just before grabbing the flash drive... i started a 90 hour violet keycard craft for the skill progression

🥲

[timid tendon]

surely that runs at a big loss? military drive or topo maps should run break even-ish

[vale atlas]

It was a hands off brainlet way of getting the xp constantly flowing

I am the timegate now

didn't even want/need the violet card lol

just 90 hours of xp

[willow tinsel]

Instead of multitasking tasks where you have specific items why dont you just complete the 1 with the scav vest and camp the road

Idk, just dont multitask if its that much of a pain and just focus that 1 down, what could have taken you 1 or 2 LH runs at most became 4

[thorn token]

leveling strength in arena just means being overweight still right?

[willow tinsel]

Yea, but youre rarely ever overweight in arena

Or ever

[thorn token]

i'm also finding it very hard to be overweight in arena too

yea

i've got a kit where i'm one kg overweight

[willow tinsel]

So u level endu in arena and str in normal

[thorn token]

i need strength leveling

so i can finally do escort

[west sigil]

Killed tha goons

[quartz storm]

escort is proving to be a major pain
was on labs getting the four kills, just had 4 left on ground zero after that and got instantly head eyesed by a raider while heading to extract

[thorn token]

always do labs first

my first maps will be labs, reserve, streets probably

just because there's so much that can go on that you can't account for

[quartz storm]

I dont think streets is part of escort

factory, customs, shoreline, reserve, woods, interchange, lab, ground zero

[thorn token]

raiders on labs can be a pain, reserve just to get glukhar over and done with, streets is just fuck off big

i fr thought streets was in that

then swap out streets with factory

tagilla can be a pain doing that

[quartz storm]

glukhar for as much of a pain he is doesnt even have anything good
but I have to fight a bunch of raiders on reserve anyway for the peacekeeper quest

[thorn token]

either he gets you or he gets the other pmcs first

[quartz storm]

the cleaner, 40 raiders on reserve

what a CHORE

[thorn token]

it's just because glukhar can see the whole damn map from some of his spawns

and will aggro you

god i hate glukhar

honestly could swap reserve and labs on that priority list even

[quartz storm]

I have 10/40 reserve raiders so far

cause I hit the bunker for the marked room

[vale atlas]

Its a good run, i tried to hit all 3 rooms on reserve for the raider quest

[thorn token]

hit bunker, turn power on, hit hermetic, wait for the train

all those have raider spawns

[civic gale]

do u guys run the deathmask? -4% ergo is alot, and the times i do get shot in the face the lvl2 prot doesn't matter

[thorn token]

the richochet chance is nice

but thats it

[civic gale]

do you run it, i havent been richochet on it yet

[vale atlas]

i can count the number of times its saved me on my hands

Atp i'm not sure its even worth taking helmets other than to hopefully give ai more limb targeting priority

[civic gale]

ive been using flux recently, no debuff and its light

[willow peak]

is there gonna be prestige in pve anytime

[pastel hull]

not soon

[west sigil]

I run it for the aesthetics

Also ricochet chance

[native osprey]

Do certain bosses not show up till certain player levels?

[fair dawn]

No

all bosses have a flat chance to spawn

level does not matter

[native osprey]

Alright. Thanks! 👍

[meager coyote]

I do even though it looks stupid

[jovial cobalt]

the closest thing to this is cultists (rarely) spawn on ground zero 21+, but not under level 21

[meager coyote]

Might just forgo protection and wear other masks instead tbh

[timid tendon]

why? it's not like you can see it when you're in raid

[jovial cobalt]

use menpo and armored glasses

[vale atlas]

Smoke and welders goggles

[odd oak]

Are arena levels different then main game cause im 38 main and 12 arena

[jovial cobalt]

your arena character is linked to your pvp character
but anything you do in arena goes to both pvp and pve

like it will show your pvp level always in arena but u still get everything in pve the same

[odd oak]

How is arena level lower then

Ohhh

Thanks

[odd gale]

Just had the best spawn with my friends right now

We loaded into lighthouse

[distant obsidian]

https://arena.tarkov.com/support/knowledge/541

[odd gale]

We spawned in the tunnel

[distant obsidian]

just read the website. its has all the info

[jovial cobalt]

i assume you don't play PVP zone at all so if so, your level 12 on arena was gained purely from arena

[odd oak]

Ty

[odd gale]

I load in first a pmc is at the entrance throws a nade at us

[jovial cobalt]

cant wait for s2 bruh

[odd oak]

Sorry about the confusion

[timid tendon]

yeah lighthouse has a few spawns like that

[jovial cobalt]

naw np!

[distant obsidian]

https://arena.tarkov.com/support/knowledge/541

[odd oak]

Ik now im alright tyr

I saw ty

[jovial cobalt]

https://arena.tarkov.com/support/knowledge/541

just in case you didn't see

[jovial cobalt]

https://arena.tarkov.com/support/knowledge/541 here for u too

[odd oak]

Thanks bushe

[jovial cobalt]

lmfao

[dark zealot]

[weary ice]

Still so confused on how black could possible be 3mil

[stiff scaffold]

million scavs on ground zero when im trying to hunt pmcs for test drive

[fair dawn]

the SP* machete is meh right?

[stiff scaffold]

i'd go to interchange but I do not want to find killa with an mp5

[fair dawn]

sp8 *

[jovial cobalt]

gladius is better

definitely isnt the worst tho

[timid tendon]

their damage stats are on the wiki if you want to compare a few

[fair dawn]

thanks guys - it was a shit marked room pull lol

[jovial cobalt]

i love running across LH to talk to lightkeeper for 45 seconds and go extract again

[stable tinsel]

I have gone to woods like five times now just trying to open shturmans stash and he has spawned every single time.

[jovial cobalt]

that 75% spawn chance hits hard

i have to go kill 30 pmcs on woods now and id rather not have to fight shturman every single time lol

[stable tinsel]

I'm just trying to get ONE red rebel and not a single time has it spawned on him, his guards, or the stash

[crimson sky]

Try dorms marked

[jovial cobalt]

i found a lot in reserve marked rooms

[crimson sky]

Or any reserve marked

[fair dawn]

ive ran into Partizan 3 times today on customs. someone tell him to fuck off

[stable tinsel]

reserve it is. i cant stand going against shturman again. i won all but once. rushing him with a smg is the way

[crimson sky]

Time to get sniped across the map by ghlukar it is

[stable tinsel]

that is the dream

[crimson sky]

That’s why I stopped doing my marks key runs off reserve

Although if you get a good enough spawn you can hit all three rooms during the same raid

[stable tinsel]

i need to look up where one of them is. i have all three keys but i only know where two are

[crimson sky]

One is the barracks, other is in the basement of black pawn, the other is by the d2 power switch

[stable tinsel]

lit

reserve here i come

[stiff scaffold]

yay I dont need to enter ground zero again

getting my right arm broken 3 times was totally worth it

[stable tinsel]

two marked rooms no red rebel. i am going to die of old age before i get this other red rebel

[acoustic field]

It's a long shot, but I had good luck finding them on Reserve.

The marked rooms there, that is.

[fair dawn]

thats where he is sadly

[acoustic field]

Aw man

[fair dawn]

ive pulled two from dorms today

[acoustic field]

Yeah I usually get them a fair bit when I'm running marked rooms

Of course this IS Tarkov. When you need something it becomes the rarest thing in the game.

I once had to run three seperate Ground Zero's before I found a singular Electrical Component for a task. Found back to back GPU's in the meantime. It's so typical

[vale atlas]

Its true, i haven't found a pmc on woods all night

I only need 15 of them

Even the AI is at it

[fair dawn]

dorms marked room just gave me two bitcoins. nice

[acoustic field]

Are bitcoin still super low?

[fair dawn]

yeah, but still better than my last pull lol

ive had partizan 4 times today on dorms now

[next glade]

Why are we only allowed one labs access card in our inventories? Its really annoying just lemme have a keycard holder stuffed full of em so i only have to restock it every 9 raids

[jovial cobalt]

probably so you cant drop them to people ? idk

[crimson sky]

ye

[hazy moss]

they cant be dropped anyways lmfao

[prime trellis]

??event

[quasi apex]

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

[prime trellis]

oh, it's still up?

[fair dawn]

yes

[west mist]

i hot him boys

the killa mini is mine

got*

[vale atlas]

I'm so fucking sick of the ai knowing when you're looking in their direction

[next glade]

Thats neat, just had a usec and bear squad both aggro on me and then act friendly to each other

They were pmcs i checked the tags so they werent raiders😗

[next glade]

SAME or right as you line up your shot they take a singular step

[vale atlas]

or you finally get a good angle, you point slightly towards them, and for no reason at all they sprint behind cover, perfectly hidden from view. and will rotate around it as you do. To stay that way

Its ridiculous lol

[next glade]

Dont forget silent tagilla's🙃

No heavy breathing or responding to nades. AND he can just ignore pmcs to go to you instead

[west mist]

lul

[raw nest]

In pve they can work together at times

[next glade]

The opposing squads? I thought that was just supposed to be pmcs and max rep scavs

[stone harbor]

It is called priority check

[raw nest]

Are you sure?

[stone harbor]

to me, everything seems to be prioritizing PMC of all things

[next glade]

So one player, or 4 opposing faction ai. And it picks the player, amazing

[vale atlas]

Its just very basic, shit ai coding lol

[stone harbor]

if it is not priority check, I dont know what is, a godly AI coding, or just platant bug :v

[raw nest]

We already had that convo with Butch and he did confirm they can in fact work together at times

[stone harbor]

at this point, I dont know which is which with how messy the game is

[vale atlas]

its not going to be the clever, working as intended varieties

Sir this is Tarkov

[next glade]

I think its raider code being pulled on labs for the pmc ai instead. There were 9 pmcs, 4 bear and 5 usec. No combat between them and they were right on top of each other by double black

[stone harbor]

[west mist]

i- did one of my figurines dissappear?

[next glade]

I got hungry

[stone harbor]

maybe the coding got shit on at that raid particular. in my raids, they all gunslinging alot :v

[next glade]

Yeah most of the time i dont get to the pmcs before theyre blasting. But that time was something else lol

[west mist]

check out muh collection

[next glade]

Only 2 labs survives before im done with consolation prize... gimme prestige already

[west mist]

also, serious question here, why in the seven hells does lightkeeper was 15 sj1 instead of sj6 and 5 sj6

they are like, the opposite of eachother in terms of rarity

[raw nest]

Just a task

[west mist]

yes, just a task, but i've got like 25 sj6 and like 10 sj1

and i dont use injectors, those are just what i've collected

[stone harbor]

It is like a chore, he wants them, so he pays you to get it, so he can give them to his Cultist goons

[next glade]

Skier wants 30 of the most expensive and also non expensive ones lol

[west mist]

if only they didnt have to be FiR

any clues as to where i can get 5 sj1?

[stone harbor]

yeah the FIR is just a pain sometimes

[stone harbor]

as usual, labs

[next glade]

Im SO glad that the skier all on red taskline isnt fir

[fair dawn]

Sanitar... Labs

[jovial cobalt]

craft

[west mist]

i have hit labs like 3 times and found ONE

[fair dawn]

oh yeah, craft

[jovial cobalt]

med station lv2 can craft 5 of them at a time

[west mist]

SINGLE sj1

[jovial cobalt]

im pretty sure thats how i did that quest

[raw nest]

crafting

[stone harbor]

either you go for the 3 stim spawn rooms, or just single craft

[west mist]

woo hoo

[stone harbor]

my case, I went 2 raids and found enough of it + extra stims for sum cash

[west mist]

now just to hit labs one more time anyways to get the last 4 raiders

[raw nest]

Craft them it's much easier time

[west mist]

i got me an obd 1 and 2 back to back in green tho

[vale atlas]

think i'm done with this game for another few years

Its just too scuffed for me

[next glade]

Fun fact. By pulling raider guns out of labs and repairing them you can get between 50-80% of a weapon maintenance level per raid

[iron marsh]

a friend of mine had the electricity interrupted while opening the armored case. now his case is gone. any way to get it back? is this a bug?

[stone harbor]

same, I escaped Savior, now Im touching the grass after 5 months since day 1 Steam

Now I help my friends with tasks, and then shut the game down, time to spend my time on Death Stranding 1 & 2

[next glade]

Any tips for terminal? I had trouble identifying friend and foe

[stone harbor]

you go duo?

there is no friend, just civilian and foe (Black Division, scav, scav bosses)

[next glade]

Solo, i was wearing nogs and couldnt easily distinguish black division and untars

[stone harbor]

yeah I wear Altyn so it's easier to see, anyway, you will have to remember things

like muscle memory

where the enemy will spawn, where is the friendly zone

rooms where they will spawn in large quantities to let you throw a rocket launcher in it

[next glade]

Well, i guess itll just be a bunch of practice

[stone harbor]

It took me 12 tries, solo

[next glade]

Oof, yeah im expecting about that

[stone harbor]

at the attempt #5, I started watching videos for tips and tricks due to work constraint, to save time playing blind XD

most of the time, i got head, eyes by Black Division's crouching stance. NEVER peek them while they are doing that

[next glade]

I brought nogs on a ronin because i figured their ammo is just going to head eyes me anyways

Is it all cqc?

Cause if it iiiiiis

Then i think thermal n7's might actually be a play

[distant obsidian]

Having comtac 6s is more important in terminal then having an altyn

Scavs dont shoot the face. You need hearing

[stone harbor]

most of the fights are close to mid-range

[distant obsidian]

Way to much glass

[next glade]

Tragedy

[distant obsidian]

Thermals are near useless

[next glade]

Canted mini-thermal then

[distant obsidian]

Meh. After a run or two you know where they are

And again, hearing is king

Gen4 assault for that arm protection from scavs.

[next glade]

I was bringing in a samurai

[distant obsidian]

Way to many debuffs for no gain

All you need is arm and neck protection. Anything more is to debuff and also heavy to be good

[next glade]

Talking about it... now i wanna go for another run on it

[stone harbor]

Thor IC with Elite Strength will save you the weight

[fervent peak]

If anything, thermals are just for spotting. actually fighting with them is pain

[stone harbor]

Elite Strength will 0 weight your guns, THOR IC is decently nice with somewhat acceptable weight

[distant obsidian]

Even elite strength. They don't lower debuffs

Again, arm and neck protection.

[next glade]

Ive got quite a few skills maxed so ill take a look at that

[distant obsidian]

Fuck the thor and all that garbage

Gen4 assault. Nothing more

[stone harbor]

for the general ppl, more protection = better mistake proof

[fervent peak]

The only thing making the debuffs from armor better is from the heavy armor skill itself, and that's just movement penalties

[distant obsidian]

Otherwise your just stacking debuffs for 0 gain

[stone harbor]

I used THOR IC, load up full 7.62 60 mags, 2 rocket launchers, and weight 65kgs :v

[fervent peak]

Sure, having more armor means you can take a few more hits, having lighter, more mobile armor means you get to cover faster

Cover is what saves you the most, movement second, armor third

[distant obsidian]

Ideally on a decent run, your not even getting shot. Maybe a scav round or two

Most of my final rounds I never even took a bullet unless it was to the face

Or my teammate 😄

[fervent peak]

In some sense, you could even say having heavier armor makes you make more mistakes
At the end of day though, play how you want

[fervent peak]

SHUSH, WE DO NOT SPEAK OF THIS

[stone harbor]

Armor is just for a little peace of mind, the BD using level 5~6 ammo will just shred you

[distant obsidian]

Hahaha

[timid tendon]

only time in recent memory that i've taken heavy armour is for slaughterhouse

otherwise minimal debuff plate carrier with side protection rocks

[distant obsidian]

I can see that.

[fervent peak]

It is fun to go in with a PKM and a thor IC tho, I can vibe with that

[timid tendon]

true

[west mist]

fuuuuuuuk, like 8 raiders decided to camp the door to the room red/violet are in as soon as i went in

got em all, but also i had no meds left XD

also wiped out a squad of pmc's, but i didnt have time to go loot em D:

[mossy blade]

time for misery of pmcs on offices

[west mist]

turns out whipping out the deeg was the play

did get me a lil chunk o raider guns to repair

so bonus lvls woot

also underrated value behind it all

292k raw sale after fixin

[weary ice]

My first EVER killa kill he has the vida helmet and temp 300 earbuds im actually the luckiest human alive

[mossy blade]

my first ever killa had a red keycard

[weary ice]

Would have been a generational find before the marked key buff 💔

[mossy blade]

labs are still profitable btw

[weary ice]

I know I hit it 10 times a day at least

But it only sells for a mil so it doesn’t really matter u can buy cheap anyways

[mossy blade]

3/6 kills for secured perimeter, 3 more

[weary ice]

How rare actually is the vida helmet does anyone know? Checked wiki it doesn’t say the drop chance

[timid tendon]

does it still drop? I got mine from killing killa during the duckov event

[mossy blade]

HOLY SHIT 7 PMCS ON FACTORY OFFICES

[mossy blade]

its like 10-15% i guess

[weary ice]

Well it’s a mil on the flea so I doubt that high

But idk

[west mist]

my flashlight laser combo only turns the laser on

how do i fix this

in fact

my tac device doesnt turn on either when i try

[jade saffron]

jesus christ leveling light or heavy armor is slow

[crude kraken]

how does lighthouse function in PVE?

like do i need to not kill the PMCs there as well or is it free game

mind you i still havent had the thing to go to lightkeepber but its more out of curiosity

[jovial cobalt]

pmcs wont go to lighthouse in pve so its not something to rlly worry about

[jade saffron]

like 4 rogues in the treatment plant, scavs love the village next to the path to shoreline extraction

[jovial cobalt]

lightkeeper island*

[jade saffron]

oh he means the lighthouse island I thought he meant the map in general

[crude kraken]

yeah cuz i just got reccomended that Lighthouse rules video and it got me thinkign how it would work on PVE

[jade saffron]

think the " do not shoot at anything while on the island" rule still applies, meaning if he is on the island and shoots at anything it still decrypts the encoder

[crude kraken]

what if i get shot at by the PMC can i shoot them back or is that sniper guy gonna do it

[meager coyote]

You can shoot at anything off of the island and be fine. Nothing should really shoot back because of how far away you are

[weary ice]

Does anyone know how rare vida helmet is from killa wiki doesn’t say shit

[jade saffron]

you can't as long as you are on the island
you pass the front entry gate you should be allowed to shoot back
but no NPC will trigger on you while on the island from the mainland, way to far away

[crude kraken]

aah i see

[crude kraken]

educated guess is the same rarity as the UBEY tagilla mask, cuz i saw him some times and like 1/4 times he had the VIDA

im mad asf how i cant use fleece hats and caps cuz i get 1tapped if i do wear them but man am i ever dripped out while getting pelleted

also is it even worth killing zyrachi?

id do it for the balaclava ngl

that shit is drippy as fuck

[jade saffron]

minefield is shit to navigate and the quest to restore your encoder is a nightmare from what I heard

[odd gale]

No

[crude kraken]

figured as much

i was looking at his balaclava on the market is like 1mil

if i have ever money to burn id buy it

[odd gale]

That;s it?

Pretty cheap

[crude kraken]

yeah was surprised too

[odd gale]

Ima get one then

[crude kraken]

welp its gone apparently

[odd gale]

Rip

I wonder who got it

[next glade]

All on Red baybee🤑🤑🤑 goddamn skier these new weeklys

[crude kraken]

there were 2 and i was half willing to buy them

but 1 was like 1 mil the other was 3.5

[neat crown]

hey! i'm trying to play PVE with my friend and i get this error: One or more errors occurred. (Invalid mathching operation). Is there any solution for that?

[raw nest]

#community-support

[odd gale]

To much

[crude kraken]

yeah was thinking that too but i prob should've copped one and just insured it

is there a way to spawn raiders cuz the 3 times i went for D2 i never ran into them

[next glade]

Down by the pawn closest to dome, there is a building you can pull the switch for 'hermetic door' extract, that can spawn a squad of raiders down by trainyard

[crude kraken]

like i know if you power up the D2 escape they should a spawn

[next glade]

Do you need them on reserve? Or in the bunker

[crude kraken]

i need it in the underground for the quest no place for renegades

[odd gale]

Ah

So what you do is

[next glade]

Ah, well then you just gotta thig it out

[odd gale]

Start packing a mag

[next glade]

Thug*

[crude kraken]

just run the D2 extract until they spawn

[odd gale]

And they'll rush you

[crude kraken]

got it bossman cody

[next glade]

Or surgery

They also bumrush surgery

[jade saffron]

oh boy the neck part of my armor is at 2 points left, think I should buy a lottery ticket

[crude kraken]

is this a joke or like actual behavior from the ai

btw

[next glade]

Still need 40ish rouges, anyone have a safer takeout method than this?
Outside water plant right, slow peek the right 2 gun, takeout, then safe angles on everything except 3+ground rouges

[next glade]

They do rush sounds for healing, mag packing isnt audible tho

[crude kraken]

aah

[next glade]

*can. It isnt guaranteed they rush

[odd gale]

Both mostly

[jade saffron]

I tried to fix my black arm and an AI rushed into the room before mine and started healing themselves

[next glade]

Lol

[jade saffron]

dude you just shot at me you are not getting my salewa

ok I am trying to find the silicone book on labs
the wiki is not helpfull for it I got to say

[next glade]

Basically dont bother

That spawnrate is so stupendously low youre more likely to find a black card in the computer floor zone

Only spawn is in residential security room with the ammo, to the left of the binder btw

[jade saffron]

I know that is supposed to give me a clue but I am absolutely clueless about labs

[next glade]

I'll run you through a labs raid and point out spawns of stuff in a few if youd like

[jade saffron]

would be nice

[next glade]

Lemme get out of this lh raid then

[cosmic patrol]

what fuckin achievement huh

Booting up Tarkov just to see what the fuck yall are blabbering about

[jovial cobalt]

yeah its the next part of the april fools event

[odd gale]

??wvent

??event

[quasi apex]

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

[cosmic patrol]

??event

Ah, it continues?

[jovial cobalt]

yeah open your game all the way up and check

no im trolling

[cosmic patrol]

I knew it

Sounds too good to be true

but I might as well go kill Reshala with blicky til I wait to boot up albion

[jovial cobalt]

killing pmcs on woods is riveting gameplay

[cosmic patrol]

I never thought id be having a blicky-off with Reshala

[crude kraken]

whats the cultist item cost based on?

[bronze saddle]

10 labs cards used and not one fucking GPS amplifier and the uuuuh the other thing needed for the solar upgrade.. its like yeah im making money and yeah im leveling my skills like my revolver skill being "cough" almost 40, but i wanna progress through the quest lines, but i cant without my intel being lvl3

[crude kraken]

oouuugh i wanna use a revolver so baaad but my decked glock has not failed me yet

[bronze saddle]

I only use revolvers to max out the skill. Also if you break an arm or it gets blacked, an empty reload may take up to 8 seconds while having only 1 round in the cylinder may take up to 15 seconds which is disgusting

[next glade]

Yellow, red, violet, and the armory in green can spawn it. Outside of there check: the computer desks directly near hazard dome, the room opposite yellow on the sofa and on the desk, in cats on the table and floor

[magic yacht]

If you want a guaranteed way to get them you can do Lightkeepers tasks and unlock barters for them

[willow tinsel]

I actually opened up my game to check

[quasi apex]

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

[pseudo kayak]

I remember hearing something about hitting level 20 in some skills and getting the elite perk, is that false

[lean quiver]

i believe woods and lighthouse are no longer forced online (woods can actually be played online instead of forced local as it was before the recent online-only woods/lighthouse change)

[pseudo kayak]

aw man I was hoping they were forcing online for a sneaky event

[lean quiver]

oh haha yea i'll always take more events :D

[raw nest]

It’s false yea

[rotund comet]

did that come with an update? I was just playing woods a few hours ago on forced online but now I can play local

[past breach]

Yes just noticed it too

There wasn't any update for me so that's strange

Perhaps there was something wrong with BTR driver and lightkeeper?

That would explain why only Lighthouse and woods were forced

[pseudo kayak]

how tf does one hit level 51 in like idk mag drills

or surgery

ts would take 5 billion dillion years no?

[lean quiver]

i don't think so, probably server side? not too sure

[raw nest]

Mag drills 20 is all you nead

but can level some skills before you extract each raid

[mossy blade]

labs are fucking crazy

1,8mil from 1 violet and 1 yellow

[rotund comet]

just ran into a 7-man ai pmc team next to outskirts extract on woods, I like how I see more pmc than scavs

[willow tinsel]

other than just playing the game, people like to farm that by just going into fire and surv kit the whole raid, taking into account with diminishing return you might take a pause once in a while

and magg drills, same thing, unload, load mags once in a while

I think there is diminishing returns, as there is for many other skills

Like troubleshooting, i just take a pistol that is completely broken, auto fire it till it jams every 3 minutes

[rough lake]

I still have a quest in my list to kill Reshala with a toy gun (didn't complete it at Apr 1st). If I go with a toy gun now, will Reshala and his minions be with toy guns as well?

[marble bronze]

Should be

[raw nest]

They still have it

[safe kestrel]

And if they not... We'll guess it's a challenge 😂

[steep kettle]

Anyone else notice that when it's approx 10-15 minutes left of the raid theres no scavs or PMCs left? The map is completely dead.

[marble bronze]

I mean yeah, that's kinda how it should be logically

[urban inlet]

Any clue Goons location?

[lethal garnet]

are they still on all maps or was that fixed yet

[raw nest]

Goons don’t rotate

[grim jungle]

Today every PMC that has engaged me has laid down
It's never happened so much before today, it's weird

[grim jungle]

They used to, but they haven't since the Smuggler event

[cunning sequoia]

Arena

[astral kindle]

Wait is BSG gonna add TPM 2.0 and secure boot? Hate it

[scarlet pier]

why do you hate it?

[astral kindle]

I just hate invasive anticheats and i actually don't have secure boot enabled

[scarlet pier]

do you realize all anticheats are invasive to some extent?

[dusky magnet]

The "to some extent" is the important part

[scarlet pier]

sure, but also when people say "invasive" they have no idea what they are actually referring to

[astral kindle]

Yes but some are even worse than others

For example riot's anticheat boots up even if you don't play any of their games

[scarlet pier]

and?

[raw nest]

It’s been like that before smuggler event

[jade saffron]

why is tagilla on Interchange?

[scarlet pier]

been since 1.0

[nimble venture]

Shopping for a shirt

[knotty hazel]

Not sure how many people are affected with the tpm 2.0 usage. But my board doesn't support it because if its age. Still all games I play, including EFT, are running perfectly. Upgrading to tom 2.0 means am5 platform and thus new RAM for me. I don't think I need to explain the problem with RAM further...

[scarlet pier]

TPM 2.0 is present on AM4

[summer zinc]

thts weird i just extract from the raid didn't count any of my kill and loot experience

[tight scaffold]

Farming Scavs IRL for RAM is frowned upon, and their loot tables are usually crappy. Just lots of used needles and $2 scratch offs.

[wanton crane]

Did they buff marked rooms?
314 gave me a violer,ledx,ammo case and injector case along with the other stuff

[willow tinsel]

they did

[jade saffron]

bloody hell and I apparently missed him all the time

[willow tinsel]

because he only resides in his little cage

[jade saffron]

damn killa built a baby pen for his little brother

[willow tinsel]

So if you avoid his hideout, you wont see him

[scarlet pier]

I'm curious now. which motherboard you have that you say dont support it?

[pseudo kayak]

wait what do u get at mag drills 20

[scarlet pier]

perfect accuracy of mag check

[pseudo kayak]

youre loading and unloading mags in arena?

[cunning sequoia]

No it's just that arena gives hella xp

[mossy blade]

Labs meta is true

I have a FUCKTON of profit rn

I already found 3 LedExes in 4-5 raids only in Keycard rooms / pussy room

[knotty hazel]

Shame on me. Should have done a thorough research before. Apparently there is tpm module for my ASRock ab350 pro4 Board. Not sure yet if it is available where I live.

[scarlet pier]

what is your CPU?

[marble bronze]

Probably just need a firmware update and change some BIOS settings

[knotty hazel]

After a bios upgrade I'm running a 5800X3D since a long time now in combination with a RX 6800XT.

[scarlet pier]

then you already have TPM. Its on the CPU

Its a matter of enabling it. You dont have to buy a separate module.

[knotty hazel]

It is? No tpm module necessary?

[scarlet pier]

All Ryzen CPUs have built-in TPM, since I dont know Ryzen 2000 and forward

[knotty hazel]

Alright, need to check that out. Thanks for letting me know!

[scarlet pier]

You gotta enable on BIOS though, it might require you a windows reinstall, i'm not sure.

[mossy blade]

Are marked rooms more worth it rn?

Or Labs

[scarlet pier]

For intel CPUs is from 8th gen forward

[knotty hazel]

I'm trying to avoid installing windows ever again. Basically waiting some more to run on Linux. Once it works I would like to say good bye to windows.

[carmine remnant]

#videos message

[marble bronze]

I recommend dual booting then. I keep a win 10 LTSC install for CAD and Tarkov (and other games that don't run on Linux) and run Bazzite otherwise

[steep forge]

is there anyway i can turn off the prioritise healing its pmo

[mossy blade]

Whats the best method of grinding, Labs, cultists, marked rooms or maybe even Labirynth?

[dense sentinel]

Labs is pretty chill to get into a farming loop for. Lord knows I spent a month straight in there just being a ammo and loot goblin getting addicted to the dopamine hit that was stockpiling 1200 rounds of 338 ap and over 14k rounds of m995 and ssa ap as well as a healthy amount of m993 and mai ap

[final geode]

Hey are marked rooms worth it again ? or they still suck dry

[dense sentinel]

They got buffed recently and ive noticed an increase in some good shit

[sudden lance]

Not as good as prime marked rooms but its decent now

The buffs feel good

[marble bronze]

Learn to love it

[dense sentinel]

Yea labs feels pretty nice to still hit even with the 20% increase in raiders they added to it

[steep forge]

my arms are both on 2/45 yet my head has lost 1hp and it decides to heal my head and not my arms

such a dumb update

[marble bronze]

So selective heal your arms

Like this is peak first world problem

[final geode]

Imma check the abondoned factory marked room on streets. lets seeee

[steep forge]

its easier for me just to bind it to a number if im fighting a boss

[marble bronze]

Stims are for combat healing.

Medkit for maintenance out of the fight

[steep forge]

is there anyway to swith it back to before

[marble bronze]

Nope

[steep forge]

ffs

[marble bronze]

You can fight without an arm

Or both, for that matter

[steel heart]

I’m on the getting acquainted quest and I reflashed it and handed over the flash drive like 2 days ago and I got on today and now it says I need to reflash it again is there a time limit?

I went a did a raid on streets and now it’s reset maybe if I do another raid I have to restart?

[distant obsidian]

[steel heart]

I did I can’t find anything

I can’t tell if I’m bugged or what

[tame lark]

can someone please sell aar-15 5.56 10.3 inch barrel on theflea market

i dont have 30k dollars

THANKS

that was fast

[crude kraken]

why doesnt the D2 lever spawn raiders for me

[teal rune]

How do I get PMC's at Dorms for The Huntsman Path - Evil Watchman?
I have been running Customs now for maybe 20+ raids and no PMC's. I have even sat a hole raid in Dorm and wait....but nope....still nothing. :thinking1: 🤷‍♂️

[distant obsidian]

It's a percent chance

[distant obsidian]

Go dorms and wait.

[crude kraken]

whats the actual %

cuz i ran d2 5 times

[distant obsidian]

We don't know

[pseudo kayak]

i could either just play another match and be .03 away from ranking up or be lazy and NOT do 1 extra match and be .04 away

[distant obsidian]

O shit. Bsg doubling down in anticheat stuff.

Going the secure boot way. This is good

[pseudo kayak]

thank god, now kill the 3rd party buying websites

[distant obsidian]

Not sure they can do that

[pseudo kayak]

yah ig

rmt kill them

im being responsible tyreall how about that huh

[distant obsidian]

Looks like the in game rmt stuff does a good job catching most things anyways

[pseudo kayak]

im at 90% on a task, I was just gonna not finish it cuz arena dumb

[distant obsidian]

Good. I am proud of you

[pseudo kayak]

yeah if they go off of the flea

[distant obsidian]

In game flags also

Based on the chart. Low percent is rmt anyways

It's those in game cheaters.

[pseudo kayak]

unless rmt isn't their focus

cuz ik warframe goes crazy on their rmt

i was hoping bsg would be like that

[distant obsidian]

You'll never kill it completely. But the low percent is good

[pseudo kayak]

but you see account lifespans that shouldnt be possible w flea rep that shouldnt match it

[distant obsidian]

Often compromised accounts.

Did you reach that link? Good read

[pseudo kayak]

after i finish my task can i just leave 😭

[distant obsidian]

good

[bronze saddle]

argh back to Labs

[pseudo kayak]

no can I? or no

[neat spoke]

Why do you always come acroiss the goons, when you dont want them and in the open.....

[alpine escarp]

what was the idea behind killing reshala with a toy gun..?

[lethal garnet]

april fools !

[distant obsidian]

what date did it come out on

o fed ruined it

[alpine escarp]

idk i havent played for some time now

[distant obsidian]

[marsh wing]

@raw nest new clip dropped in arena server

[distant obsidian]

wtf are you excepting for an april fools quest

[marsh wing]

"Please to the arena, where everyone can earn a living or die!" This is what i could translate from it

[alpine escarp]

10000 bitcoins

[raw nest]

Gonna check

wait I don't see it

[marsh wing]

THEY GONNA GIVE US TAGILLA ANNOUNCER FROM TACMAP

[raw nest]

Or I'm blind

[marsh wing]

100%

[marsh wing]

#1083356894342680576 message

Im convinced we are getting a Factory map and Tagilla announcer from TacMap

[raw nest]

Bruh I have the role but channel disappears lmao

[marsh wing]

Check dm

[raw nest]

Anyway I can't wait 9 more days

[marsh wing]

We already got Factory TacMap announced by Nikita. Now they've posted 2 videos of what HAS to be the bathrooms in Factory

We are getting a factory map 100%

[raw nest]

Yea

We need some cool shit in BP and Tacmap

[marsh wing]

And with what the video translates too. We HAVE to be getting Tagilla announcer

"Please to the arena, where everyone can earn a living or die!"

[raw nest]

It is Tagilla VA

[marsh wing]

Thats what google translate gave me

And announcer already says, "Welcome to the arena, where everyone can earn a living or die!"

So 100% Tagilla announcer voice

[winter latch]

Only 1 announcer for me. Nikita

[marsh wing]

Nah, i need Tagilla screaming at me while i play

[winter latch]

Now tagilla pmc voice. That i must have

Imagine mid fight UBEY UBEY UBEY

[lethal garnet]

i can’t imagine they’d actually add that

i think it might just be another indication that it’s a factory Tac map

[winter latch]

Ofc they wont add that. I just hope they ever will add boss voices. I would find that sick and buy all of them instant lol. But i can imagine alot of people would not agree with me

[manic pewter]

having paid for cosmetics as we do now is pretty nice

i certainly dont mind

[lethal garnet]

the bait would be insane

[marsh wing]

well remember that Nikita already announced Factory Tac map

[lethal garnet]

that’s what i’m saying

it’s just more of that theme

[marsh wing]

if its already announced, why release teasers?

[manic pewter]

inb4 both have the tagilla voice pack so you wont know yourself

[marsh wing]

i think they are showing off cosmetics and tagilla announcer voice

[lethal garnet]

wdym

[marsh wing]

Tagilla is like the most well known boss voice isnt he?

[manic pewter]

oh nvm, i misunderstood something

[lethal garnet]

probably because you’re in such close proximity

[marsh wing]

and his voice is super distinct from others

i bet you 1 btc that we get Tagilla announcer voice

[manic pewter]

only a little bitty? ill just open double black for you right away then

[marsh wing]

no

a REAL btc

[manic pewter]

too bad

you didnt specify

[lethal garnet]

give me a real bitcoin in the tac map

[crude kraken]

i did 2d and legit sat in there for 10 mins and NOTHING HAPPENED

[alpine vigil]

theres a violet keycard visible inside a searchable crate on woods and i can almost grab it, do i get banned if i try to take it

[marsh wing]

yes. Nikita will ban you for looting items

[gusty whale]

Don't listen to tacos. Nakita will actually ban you if you play the game

[marsh wing]

where is the crate? Wiki doesnt show violet spawning in a crate on woods

only car step, a table, and car seat

[alpine vigil]

near shturmans sawmill

[distant obsidian]

its nota crate

[alpine vigil]

u open the crate near the SUV car

the gray weapon one

[upbeat quail]

Anyone got suggestions on where to find drain cleaner?

[alpine vigil]

it makes u search it but if u cancel search, u can grab the keycard barely in time

[marsh wing]

crack house

[upbeat quail]

ok

[distant obsidian]

It literally says On passewnger side footwell

[marsh wing]

his game might be bugging

[marsh wing]

i dont wanna use paca and 6b47 :(

[marsh wing]

he was talking about finding it in a searchable crate, so i think his game is bugging

[turbid owl]

sooo for the people that done all the quest or nearly all the quests. what do you do? i havent played for nearly half a year and came back and after a match i already felt kinda bored since there isnt really a goal anymore and every match feels the same.. so what do you do?

[marsh wing]

get one of the endings and restart

work towards the other endings on challenge yourself by giving yourself certain rules

[turbid owl]

i dont like doing the endings it feels like its made for sweats. not for me at all...

[gusty whale]

Either farm specific rare items or reset and try a different ending. Doing debtor with ultra hardcore rules atm.

[gusty whale]

Ye it's in a lootable crate #screenshots

Interesting spawn

[turbid owl]

i wouldnt be against doing an ending if ending matches didnt have time constraint.. ive got to play against quite challenging bots against a timer with vague objectives that you would have to google. its just not for me. i only have like an hour of time some days only. maybe a couple hours on the weekend i dont have time to sink in specific strategies etc. i like the game for its setting and visuals. the endgame content is personally not appealing to me.

[gusty whale]

I mean it's up to you. But elsewise not much else to do but play aimlessly. Besides, you can always do terminal with a group of experienced players if you struggle with it.

[turbid owl]

maybe sometime in the future.. im just getting used to the game again. but im also seeing some new items and wonder if there is quests for them or special trades idk yet im just playing a couple sessions to see whats up

[marsh wing]

BRUH

im doing punisher part 5 and of course the arctic version cant be used

just finished a raid and none of my kills counted

[bronze saddle]

how are bushes ok, but potted plants not?

[marsh wing]

oh hey, im about to get Epsilon container

LOL

[west mist]

what's the most pmc's you guys have dropped as a scav?

[turbid owl]

also continue's healing broken again?

[upbeat quail]

ill hit reserve duffles then

[west mist]

check screenshots for my record

[bronze saddle]

has anybody EVER killed anyone with those fucking orange barrels? cause they do 0 dmg to AI

[marsh wing]

never thought about it while midfight

it always crosses my mind afterwards though

[marble bronze]

Working fine, as intended?

[turbid owl]

it just feels like its really slow since last time i played

[bronze saddle]

blud was exactly next to an orange barrel, shot it, he then ran behind cover next to ANOTHER orange barrel, shot it too instantly and he still had enough health to tank 2 7.62X39 FMJ rounds to the thorax and he had NO armor... dafuck

[willow tinsel]

shot one near an AI and it exploded in labs, he didnt die so i dont know

[bronze saddle]

well what i said WAS on labs... it was a PMC

[marsh wing]

holy shit, im going into GZ at 27kg

MY WEIGHT IS GREEN

[turbid owl]

also for people that play with vibrant color settings what did you do? whatever i try the it just looks too grey/ boring now i want something that makes it pop a bit more

[marble bronze]

You're level 49, how is that new to you?

[marsh wing]

My str isnt high enough yet for my normal kit to be in the green

[solemn panther]

I dunno it feels like something so foreign

[marsh wing]

im usually 2-4kg over the green

[solemn panther]

And I enter maps at like 35 kg

[willow tinsel]

colorfulness in PostFX is no longer an option

for now

[marble bronze]

Bro how. You should be in the 40s for strength

[marsh wing]

38

[turbid owl]

they NEED to bring it back. the game looks so boring this way

[willow tinsel]

they removed that due to Godlike Flashbang jaeger in visit option

[solemn panther]

How do I know if I have enough ergo for a gun build?
What should I aim for? 40? 60? Weight times 9?

[turbid owl]

sounds like their problem with their coding imo

[marble bronze]

I usually aim for 60 or more, but also no overswing

[solemn panther]

Overswing is like around 8.5 to 9 times weight iirc?

[willow tinsel]

well, we cant say when itll come back, but they did say not for a long while

[turbid owl]

and how long ago was that?

[marble bronze]

I just use sites which shall not be named

[solemn panther]

Cool, gonna use the magic of Google and go figure

Might be better than in game building

[willow tinsel]

around release or beginning of December, cant remember, but around that time in 2025

[marsh wing]

it doesnt help im wearing a Paca and 6b47

[turbid owl]

man.. idk if my expectations were just too high for these devs but it feels like a lot of problems that are in the game take way too long to fix thats a long time to fix a graphical issue

[willow tinsel]

Either way, we got bigger issues than colourfulness for now, and i think that should be the least of their problem solving atm

[turbid owl]

agreed there is many problems this game is still facing for a long time now.

[willow tinsel]

whats another 9 years anyway

[trim kettle]

Nikita is Russian Kojima BTW

[willow tinsel]

but i think the fact that Tarkov has competitors now, is healthy for BSG to keep them on their toes

[turbid owl]

either that or they will accept defeat. that the competition is just too good and will fade out

[waxen sun]

Hey can anyone buy the MP-133/153 plastic pistol grip for me? and ill give u the money? i need it for gunsmith part 1 to customize this mp-133 but im not level 20 to buy it off of marketplace yet.

[dusky magnet]

It's sold by Jaeger, you don't need level 20 for it https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/MP-133/153_plastic_pistol_grip

[shrewd blaze]

mall cop and tickets please makes me wanna scream profanities at prapor

[waxen sun]

this i did not know, i do not have him unlocked yet how do i get him unlocked?

[marsh wing]

keep playing Tour chapter

you need to play woods at least once and get his note i think

[waxen sun]

ok yea i see i have that mission

let me google where it is at and ill try to do it thanks for the help everyone.

[dusky magnet]

Jaeger isn't from Tour directly

https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Jaeger#Notes once you have Mechanic, you'll get the Introduction quest from him which unlocks Jaeger

[marsh wing]

my bad

[summer zinc]

if i complete the all lightkeeper quests line still able to get survivor ending?

[distant obsidian]

LK tasks have nothing to do with endings

[summer zinc]

ah alrt thx

[distant obsidian]

Look it up on the wiki

[marsh wing]

that moment when you find 762x39 BP on a pmc

[distant obsidian]

Kinda common honestly

[marsh wing]

still a nice find

came into GZ for 1 pmc killed, got my thorax blacked by a nade and bum rushed by 2 PMC's and like 8 scavs

i was playing tower defense while waiting for Taxi to leave

[slender mantle]

so about gunsmith 14 i think you cant do it anymore?

[marsh wing]

you can

all gunsmiths are completable after the changes and yes the wiki is updated properly

[fair dawn]

If you ever find youself saying this - just know you are missing something

[marsh wing]

send a screenshot of your gun inspect in #screenshots

[slender mantle]

i mean i have everything yet the recoil is too much

[slender mantle]

alr i did it

[distant obsidian]

[marsh wing]

its a common mistake. He had the wrong tac device. The LA-5B and AN/PE are too similar imo

[slender mantle]

yeah thank you i have never made this mistake ever

[distant obsidian]

i mean the names are completely different lol. Reading helps

dont just slap shit on the looks the same lol

[marsh wing]

tbh, im pretty sure i made the same mistake once or twice

[distant obsidian]

same, and you know what I didnt do? Read

[marsh wing]

yup

[fair dawn]

same - it happens

[soft hare]

🙃

[marsh wing]

after my first or 2nd screw up, i made sure to start double and triple checking

[marsh wing]

did you see in screenshots that someone found a Violet inside a searchable container? Like not in the menu, but in the actual container itself

[soft hare]

Looks like cheater bait to me.

I wouldn't pick that up tbh

[marsh wing]

damn

[leaden relic]

When we getting rid of the stupid Toy Gun task...done it on the 1st day....I need Reshala's TT Pistol lol

[distant obsidian]

cheater bait makes sense to

[marsh wing]

never

[pseudo kayak]

cultist circle

[leaden relic]

🙂

[leaden relic]

? nothing is coming through

[stone goblet]

put reshala figure in it

[leaden relic]

coolmanchoo

[pseudo kayak]

oh i was just ragebaiting, i didnt even think of that

[stone goblet]

yeah it gives golden tt

[pseudo kayak]

shit

Niami giving accurate helpful info

[leaden relic]

hahaha

[stone goblet]

accidental accurate helpful info

[marsh wing]

whats the best foregrip again?

[distant obsidian]

AFG without an mlok

[marsh wing]

so for SVD i can just use the SI or CASV rail? No option for the MLOK

[distant obsidian]

Then it's the se5 or something similar

[pseudo kayak]

it's cuz im on the wrong game 💔

[pseudo kayak]

yar

[marsh wing]

time to farm GZ with a SVD

[alpine vigil]

if u could speedrun any map and kill everyone on there for XP, what map gets u the most kills in little time

[hoary stag]

is lvl 60 the highest for ai pmcs?

[distant obsidian]

Yes

[distant obsidian]

Doing your tasks for xp

[fair dawn]

^^^ This

[pseudo kayak]

peak when i did that i ran into 14 pmcs 💀

[jaunty stream]

[alpine vigil]

wait minus tasks, i just wanna hit lvl 75

[fair dawn]

Granted, killing kaban takes 5-10 min and nets 17-20K xp a run

[ornate jungle]

also bloody+kollontay added to the run will net +10k and free marked keys

[fair dawn]

fuck kollons jam thing though

but yeah, check the RBK spawn and if not there, just flare out

[fair dawn]

Its only got me killed once, but still lol

[distant obsidian]

Labyrinth is still probably the fastest exp farm. It's going to take you months though.

[ornate jungle]

eyup thats how i do it extract always there plus you can add mvd (cheap ass key) second kollontay spawn always has high tier ammo and chance at bitty behind the door

[distant obsidian]

I'm talking like 2-4 thousand hours

[drowsy anchor]

Wiping entire factory in 7 minutes with the boss also gives 10k exp if ur looking for a quickie

[cosmic patrol]

@stone goblet birch sus

[stone goblet]

[cosmic patrol]

[distant obsidian]

Sounds ban worthy

[stone goblet]

!bawn

[drowsy anchor]

[dusky magnet]

[idle summit]

[drowsy anchor]

nvm theres stuff

[earnest plover]

Hi all, currently play PvP although don’t have the time to keep up with everyone and finding it harder and harder to reliably progress. What’s the state of PVE ai? Is it challenging enough to be fun? I want a chill coop/solo experience however want some level of challenge.

[astral kindle]

Its kinda mixed, AI PMCs are kinda like nerfed raider AI so they aren't that hard, yet they can still give challenge time to time

[fair dawn]

If youre any good in pvp, then pve isnt really a challenge imo - but its still fun nonetheless to farm bosses for challenge and labs

[unkempt echo]

AI can be pretty nasty if they see you first and you dont have good cover... and some of this litte foggers like to throw nades with 0.1 MOA. PvE is less Extraction and more "Looter Shooter".

[earnest plover]

Thanks all. Do any of you play gz warfare? If so how does it compare to the ai there?

[distant obsidian]

two completely different AIs

[unkempt echo]

I think Tarkov AI including Bosses, Raiders, Rogues etc. is "better" atm.

[distant obsidian]

ones for an open world scripted game and the other is a roaming looting ai

tarkovs ai is incredibly more complicated because of all the things they do

[west sigil]

PRAPOR TOOK THE FUCKING PLATES OUT OF MY ARMOR FOR MY INSURANCE RETURN

AND they were insured

[drowsy anchor]

Yes, they are fun enough, ai pmc in shoreline for example, they do be doing that ninja stuff, in other cases they throw a voice line before shooting you, but they almost never walk around solo so its fun to do 3v1 2v1 4v1

[marsh belfry]

Secure boot's gonna be required for tark soon??

[distant obsidian]

yeah

[marsh belfry]

Fuck

[odd oak]

What’s this

[distant obsidian]

tis a good thing

[marsh belfry]

It isn't

[distant obsidian]

lol yes it is

[marsh belfry]

It does nothing to stop cheaters

[distant obsidian]

you cant let cheaters jsut ruin games

o god I am not talking to you about this

[marsh belfry]

You don't fight cheaters by fighting the normal playerbase

[marsh belfry]

Did you use a windows key to activate windows

[west sigil]

AI PMC are generally fairly intelligent and will punish you for being an idiot and loitering in their line of fire. Scavs are as dense as always.

[odd oak]

Gaurds are sometimes terrifying

[west sigil]

Boss guards are like that.

[marsh belfry]

Need to make sure you don't stay in their line of sight for too long or they lock onto heads yea

[odd oak]

Yeah

[marsh belfry]

This can be damn near a single second sometimes lol

[distant obsidian]

moving on from this. I am not going to talk to someone who read some reddit post and think he knows everything about it

[marsh belfry]

I didn't read a reddit post about secure boot

[distant obsidian]

sure lol

again

[marsh belfry]

Because I work in this field

[distant obsidian]

moving on

[marsh belfry]

It does nothing

[distant obsidian]

so do I. It works

[marsh belfry]

Just stops you from booting an unsigned OS

If you didn't activate windows via a legit key, you can't use secure boot lel

[distant obsidian]

👍

thats all I need to know, to know you know fuck all

again. Moving on

[marsh belfry]

I'm willing to bet the majority don't have a legit windows activation

[astral kindle]

Nikita posted clip while ago and in corner was "Activate windows"

[west sigil]

I have a question. The default plates in the USEC Trooper armor are named "Monoclete Level III PE ballistic plate" but the game says they're level 4 plates. Are NIJ Lv. 3 plates equal to GOST Lv. 4 plates?

[fallen mason]

Yes

[west sigil]

Interesting.

[distant obsidian]

level 3 plates are not the same as level 4 plates

[lavish grotto]

its nato system vs russian system

[distant obsidian]

but the in game class system is unified

class 3 is class 3. Class 4 is class 4

[west sigil]

I assumed as much.

[mighty coral]

Is the new Scav Tac uniform worth buying?

[lavish grotto]

hes talking about the name of the plate

[distant obsidian]

there is no overlap or equivalents in an above or below class.

I have no idea what hes asking.

[lavish grotto]

which says its level in ameican plate system

[distant obsidian]

I dont care what the name says

[astral kindle]

Tracksuit? No

[west sigil]

It's clothes, buy it if you like the look.

[distant obsidian]

the in game class system is all that matters

[astral kindle]

Go grind real tracksuit

[mighty coral]

Uh oh

[west sigil]

Yes, I know.

[mighty coral]

[distant obsidian]

ok good

[west sigil]

I'm just commenting that the name of the plate denotes it as a level 3 plate, but the armor stats say it's level 4.

[distant obsidian]

ah yeah

[west sigil]

Which I think is interesting.

[distant obsidian]

just unified in game

[earnest plover]

They can still be compared. But ty.

[distant obsidian]

sure but its pointless

they have two different rolls in their respective games

[pseudo kayak]

why does my arm stam show like not empty but my characters scope shakes like it is out

[marble bronze]

Lift more

[distant obsidian]

you were holding your breath to long

[west sigil]

Will I still crash if I try to load co-op in to reserve

Or has that been fixed

[distant obsidian]

never heard of that

[median frigate]

Co-op like in playing with another mate?

Had now problems the last 2 or 3 weeks

[willow tinsel]

id gladly pay 5000 dollars to get that thing off my screen, in which i did, just not 5000

but shit it was close enough

[west mist]

guys is there some kinda knife case i can get or do i just gotta use an item case

[willow tinsel]

use your mannequin

[hard marten]

just got home from work, anyone know where the goons are currently

[dusky magnet]

nope, there isn't. You can see the list of all cases on https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Containers

[astral kindle]

Laughs with powershell

[median frigate]

Every map fixed spawn chance

[hard marten]

gotcha, thanks

[elfin turret]

Killed big pipe for the first time today.

Bird eye and knight ended up killing me though.

[hard marten]

gg's, you'll get the whole group at some point. easiest i've found to kill them is on lighthouse

[elfin turret]

I just hit level 20.

I was kinda fucked position wise.
Also wasn’t expecting goons

Birdeye and big pipe flanked me from 2 different sides.

[hard marten]

hate when they do that. had that happen recently on customs like a day or two ago. got lucky and had 2 afaks and healed right through the pain :P. i'm lvl 46, close to 47

[astral kindle]

Don't mention that site as mods don't like that, and currently goons can spawn any of their map with 30% chance as they don't roam

[elfin turret]

I did not know that, apologies

[astral kindle]

No worries mate

[marsh wing]

either remove the mention of them from your message, or delete the message btw

[elfin turret]

Done

[marsh wing]

[elfin turret]

I just wish Birdeye didn’t eat my whole 32 rounds of HP to his legs from my uzi pro lol

[hard marten]

i usually rock 5.45x39 or 5.56x45, usually does the trick. use some m995 or M855A1 aim for the head

[slender lantern]

what should i sell to PK for 3k more dollars

[zenith coral]

mmm great tpm 2.0

[odd gale]

You can buy it

[cursive summit]

If you aim for the head he'll die alot quicker

[slender lantern]

buy?

[odd gale]

If you buy usd from PK it counts towards the requirement for leveling him up

[astral kindle]

Buy 3k usd

[slender lantern]

oh that counts?

[odd gale]

Yeah

[astral kindle]

Both buying and selling counts

[slender lantern]

oh damn

thanks

[wild frost]

is nikita gonna add a little timmy lobby in arena

I feel tired doing match win type daily task in arena rn

[odd gale]

That's easy

Just do a team gamemode with spawns

Checkpoint

[marsh wing]

just reroll your tasks 5head

[wild frost]

i was doing checkpoint and i idk why i was thrown in the matchmaking with <1 kdr

[astral kindle]

Personally i just keep rerolling dailies from wins until getting kill or capture

[wild frost]

fingers crossed last win for 12 wins

I was hoping that little timmies are not matched with other players that spend some hours in the game

[mossy blade]

Arena matchmaking is crazy tbh

I got booted in a game where the entire enemt team had Tracksuits and Model 1s

[zenith coral]

sounds about right

[waxen sun]

im new to the game in general been on arena for almost 30hrs? it picks up u just gotta get used to it.

[finite tide]

are marked rooms still good?

[elfin turret]

Didn't have the chance, legs were an easier target with knight suppressing me.

[ornate jungle]

just watched pipe die to a scav with an uzi 😂

[elfin turret]

that is upsetting considering 🙁

[cursive summit]

I guess so, goons dont have any head armor so for next time I guess, except for knight which has 1

[astral kindle]

Well, they are about same as they originally were, not amazing but keycards are more common

[mossy blade]

where do you find valuables on streets?

[west sigil]

@livid sigil Thanks for letting me know that the Slick and Hexgrid I walked by like a dumbass use level 6 armor plates

[ornate jungle]

L hexgrid uses the best plates in the game

[west sigil]

No, he told me in raid, so I was able to grab them

[mossy blade]

hexgrid has GACs no?

[ornate jungle]

ye gac4

[west sigil]

I grabbed the slick and took the plates from the hexgrid and shoved them in my bag

[mossy blade]

are GACs ceramic

or steel

[ornate jungle]

no lmfao

ceramic and steel are ass

[astral kindle]

You can see material when you inspect it

[west sigil]

Doesn't Ceramic offer the most damage ablation of any armor type with the tradeoff of breaking very quckly?

[ornate jungle]

it breaks so fast its basically not worth using imo

i junk all level 6 cerams if i find and want a 6b43 for example

better to just slot gacs or kitecos
