[peak coral]

like is there an achievement or anything or is it just some cash and guns

[bronze ruin]

i mean the pillagers have some shiny stuff you cant normally get and 100% dura guns that are nice

[astral kindle]

No achievement, just GP coins and such as its promotion for new arena season

[waxen vapor]

do the new ai spawn in ground zero?

[swift path]

i dont think so?

hey guys is there a known bug rn with air drops causing crashes? twice now ive had my game lock up and then CTD after an airdrop spawns in on woods. im on latest drivers and a 5080

[waxen vapor]

what is a good back to have

[rotund talon]

still a good shot

[rotund talon]

no ground zero is aimbot free

[rotund talon]

for me 90% of time they have shit guns

[proven marten]

hey where was the tranist woods to custom transit on woods

[astral kindle]

Ruaf gate

[proven marten]

thank you

[bronze saddle]

bro what the fuck is this AKM the pillagers are using? its fine as fuck lol buuuut i decided to stay with Partisan's AKM, cause it has a grenade launcher

[trim kettle]

Nikita is Russian Kojima btw

[surreal pond]

damn goons aggro on me from radio and wiped out the entire health resort for me

[charred perch]

Guuuys, good morning 🙂

I tried to use the tagged and cursed yesterday to help a friend (Peacekeeping mission). But the scavs didnt aggroed on me. Is this because we are togheter? Both should enter without guns?

[golden yew]

Hey guys, never played PvE, currently thinking about it as my "non wipe" mode. How do scav raids work, do you still get on pvp servers as scav?

[rotund talon]

no

on pve mode u play only aginst ai

[golden yew]

Aight thanks

[tacit mesa]

Why are we only allowed to buy 300 of 762 piss???? 😭

[gaunt current]

https://imgur.com/a/pr3HE0y Did they change Redut-T5 armor? 😭

A little bit of this, a little bit of that 💀

[proven marten]

i hate how the pillagers and pmcs dont fight each other

[gaunt current]

they dont?

[proven marten]

not in my last fight

[loud lance]

Probably only Bears... like with scavs

[proven marten]

the group on ercom base on woods didnt fight the two pmcs.

they were usec

[rough lotus]

Can someone tell me if the windows on the Terminal map are bulletproof, or am I missing something?

[loud lance]

Was it at the beginning or when the time was below 10 mins ?

[proven marten]

it was about 15 mins into the raid

[loud lance]

Ok, cause when the PMC starts or try to extract, sometimes they just ignore a lot of stuff.

[rotund talon]

They do i meet bodies of dead pmcs after killing pillagers

[proven marten]

i dunno why they didn't kill those two then

[loud lance]

That could be so we don't have to rush them before PMCs kills them since it's for an event 🤔

[rotund talon]

And like all of time not even one pillager dies to PMCs

[bronze saddle]

can we PLEASE make the GP25 detachable/attachable in raid?

[loud lance]

Pillagers are more lethal than PMCs for sure

You kill a PMC and his teammates most-likely doesn't even think about fighting you lol

They really lack teamwork IMO

[white bronze]

ehm does any one have issues with getting into a lobby with friends ?

i cant invite my friend while he can but he doesnt see me in the party

[rotund talon]

more ?

they are goons lvl of threat

[loud lance]

Not totally, but surely close.

[rotund talon]

combined that there is sometimes 8 of them (shoreline between gas station and terminal)

[loud lance]

Ok, didn't know that.
Thought it was always 3-4 per group

[rotund talon]

it is

but on that road they have 2 close grups

[loud lance]

I only fought them in Woods and Customs

[rotund talon]

and i got one time gang banged by them killing 5 out of 8

[rotund talon]

just never go on the shoreline road between this 2 points

move through hills and from them kill them

and smugler island is mostly easy to shoot them if u hide near tunnel and shot from there

and never repeak them

[austere wraith]

Bruh. first time doing a loot run on labs, realized how stupid i am grinding water treatment plant for about 90% of my entire tarkov gameplay

[rotund talon]

interchange (scav base) or woods (cultist bunker) is better

[loud lance]

I still have to chose a side... I think I'll go with Skier... I don't even level up Ref and what he got level 1 is pretty average.

But I'm not even sure I'll complete it tbh... I'm not really willing to pay 400k for the ammo packs

[timid tendon]

yeah WTP is pre 1.0 / pvp advice bait

[austere wraith]

Better than labs???

[rotund talon]

in terms of loss to gain ratio

[austere wraith]

Ahhhhh alr alr

[rotund talon]

its just safer with not bad loot

[austere wraith]

Yeah thats fair

[rotund talon]

just do ref

[loud lance]

Woods Cultist bunker is really average for me... rarely found rare items. Last one was 1 mil filter

[rotund talon]

exp + u can sell the guns u exchange for points

[rotund talon]

+labs lost gear dont return

[loud lance]

For sure Ref is 'more easy' IMO. Abd you farm Pillagers by the same time.. so it's a double 'win' kind of for sure.
Already got 3 masks out of 4 and some kills

[austere wraith]

Yeah thats why im only running P90s on labs

[rotund talon]

just go to place of stashing

there are always pillagers

at least 3

[loud lance]

Sure, might just bring 2 masks in case... cause it's on Shoreline right ? I don't have much to do on it, so I'll want to make it in 1 raid only if possible

[rotund talon]

Yeah u can take 1

[loud lance]

Btw.. those masks are even compatible with any helmets ?

[rotund talon]

Nope

[loud lance]

Hmmm ok.

Thanks for the help btw

[rotund talon]

Np

[quartz vector]

I don't see why people say Pillagers are hard to kill, they hit me 1% of time and they just run towards my bullets

[swift path]

theyre pretty accurate firing at me but yeah, as long as you know where to expect them to be youll do just fine

[rotund talon]

how

i mostly get smoked exacly when they see me

[onyx depot]

there's a solution to all your problems with pillagers

[rotund talon]

dont get seen?

[onyx depot]

T-7

[rotund talon]

dont go near them?

[rotund talon]

XDDDD

[quartz vector]

I don't know, I run, they shoot, I get close, shoot and boom

And also I constantly run level 6 plates and level 3 fs so even if they did hit me once it's no biggie

But I'm lowkey scared cuz today I killed one and he had a crazy ass looking sa-58 packed with bcp fmj

[rotund talon]

I mostly die bc they DONT shoot armor

[proven marten]

hey for this event quest line which side is better for rewards. skier or ref

[rotund talon]

I chose ref

[rotund comet]

did they buff raider ai? I got shot in the face 2 raids in a row and the third raid I ran an altyn and it has 3 cracks in the fs

[trail sail]

Don't crouch when fighting them

Got headshotted a lot on my faceshield too when I crouched

[rotund comet]

I'm mostly on 2nd floor vs them on first floor or far away

[trail sail]

Oh yeah that can happen too when theyre on lower ground

[rotund comet]

I'll try fighting them on level ground then

[west sigil]

Is there any skill or something like that that will make my PMC reload less... casually? He's reloading in a "Ho hum, I just ran out of ammo, what a bother" kind of way, instead of a "If I don't get a fresh mag in right now I am going to fucking die" kind of way.

[trail sail]

Ya always do so they consisently only aim around thorax and lower

[quartz vector]

Hehehheh, feel like a pretty princess riding the BTR while it shoots the pillagers

[austere wraith]

I just realized how big of a fuckin bitch raiders are, 2 raiders with GPO grenade launchers..... crazy

[tacit mesa]

Why do we get so little 762x39 ammo from prap?

[rotund talon]

But npcs get a change

They are more likely to run

Scavs for sure

[distant obsidian]

you double tap reload for an emergency reload.

[west sigil]

Yes and that's still pretty slow

I mean it's much faster than the regular retention reload but it could be quicker

[charred perch]

Helloooo, I tried to use the tagged and cursed yesterday to help a friend (Peacekeeping mission). But the scavs didnt aggroed on me. Is this because we are togheter? Both should enter without guns?

[distant obsidian]

[charred perch]

the wiki didnt talk nothing about this, if you dont want ot answer, just shut up

[minor imp]

Val Kilmer has a better reload than our pmc's

[distant obsidian]

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

yes it does

if you want to continue to throw insults, maybe ou should leave

[distant obsidian]

actually try to read next time.

[charred perch]

It automatically applies to PMCs that don't have at least a firearm and an armor vest or a chest rig or a backpack equipped upon entering a raid.

my question is about playing in squad

maybe you need text comprehension lessons

[distant obsidian]

and does it say anything about a squad?

[charred perch]

yeah, deffinitely needs lessons

[distant obsidian]

maybe you should learn how deduction works

stop being so rude otherwise no one will want to help you

[west sigil]

I'm fairly sure that the Tagged and Cursed status effect applies to players individually.

[charred perch]

"But the scavs didnt aggroed on me. Is this because we are togheter? Both should enter without guns?"

[distant obsidian]

if it says nothing about a sqwuad, being in a squad has notrhing to do with tagged and cursed

[charred perch]

Bro, go feel the grass. You are always being rude with everyone here. Just shut up

if you don't want to help, let the chat to others

[distant obsidian]

if your going to be rude to everyone, no one wiull help you.

[west sigil]

What makes you think anybody else will want to help you with an attitude like that?

Honest question.

[charred perch]

Yeah, but the scavs just pass right in front of me and go aways. No aggro

[distant obsidian]

I wiki listerally explains everything and you instantly start throwing insults

[charred perch]

Isn't the first time that this guys start to insult and give stupid answers here. If he didn't want to help, he can just don't type anything

[white locust]

hobbclub not appearing even after lvl 44 reached ??? cant find anything about this online

[distant obsidian]

[white locust]

just says that it appears after lvl 44 is reached

no other requirements

[distant obsidian]

then restart your game

[charred perch]

Try to restart the game if you just reached lvl 44

sometimes the quests shows after a "refresh" in the lobby (joining a raid, restarting game)

[white locust]

aight

it appeared now

thx

[distant obsidian]

np\

[granite wren]

Any hints to lose karma?

[distant obsidian]

kill scavs as a scav

[granite wren]

im looking for partisan

[distant obsidian]

there is no pmc karma in pve

[proven marten]

hey where is the stash spot for refs third quest. the stash spot on shoreline

[distant obsidian]

[granite wren]

and how i can force partisan spawn? 🙁

[west sigil]

Read the quest description. It's the old fishing hut by the Tunnel exfil.

[surreal pond]

huh two of the rashala guard spawned at the far end of zb 1011 extraction

[distant obsidian]

you cant. No one can

its not even forced in pvp

[proven marten]

oooh the fishing hut

[proven marten]

also you just have that saved

[west sigil]

Yes. The back room where the wall's busted and you can see the lake.

[distant obsidian]

The longer your here, the more your ggoing to nitice people dont read anything

[distant obsidian]

Well, then the wiki has the answers for 90% of peoples questions. Yes

[west sigil]

It's a server emote.

[proven marten]

huh that's niffty

[proven marten]

i also ask becuse i hate being told to check the forums. this isn't WoW

[west sigil]

The quest description for Taking What's Mine literally tells you where to plant the masks.

[distant obsidian]

wow doesnt use forums. They use wowhead and icy vein guides

checking forums is useless

no different then reading redditor slop

[proven marten]

reddit is a cystpool

[native osprey]

I think it's fine for people to ask questions. It's a form of socializing. No one is under any obligation to answer anything.

[proven marten]

that is exactly my thought on that

[native osprey]

I ask dumb questions all the time and I appreciate all the answers people give me and have even made some friends from it. 👍

[charred perch]

Watch out, the guy will say to you gonna read the wiki about how ask questions

[distant obsidian]

and its fine to answer those questions with directions to accurate and complete information.

[proven marten]

man i hate being one item short for gunsmith

[rotund talon]

Just buy it then?

[proven marten]

it's the reaper sight for part 22

[charred perch]

you didnt have the trade for it available?

[proven marten]

only skiers

and that is close 2 mill

and im hoping i find it in the raids

[charred perch]

I'm pretty sure that I got mine from a quest, but maybe I was remembering wrong

[next rune]

в пве играют пидарасы

[proven marten]

i had gotten one from a quest but used so long ago

[charred perch]

the quest Import gives one to you

oooh

[distant obsidian]

what level are you? PK4, i think its 4, had a reap on an m4 barter

[proven marten]

wait peace keepre has a gun with it?

[distant obsidian]

yes

its the cheapest in the game

[proven marten]

you have saved me so much time with that

[fair dawn]

Tyreall is a good troll

[distant obsidian]

not a troll

[fair dawn]

you have, and do nearly everyday what do you mean?

[distant obsidian]

what you call trolling its not trolling

[fair dawn]

especially when someone asks a very dumb question

[distant obsidian]

ok thats trolling

kinda

very very loose definetion of the word

[fair dawn]

let me rephrase

you only troll when its a genuine dumb question

[distant obsidian]

most of the time yes

[fair dawn]

but those happen frequently, IE, if the circumstances are right, do troll people quite a bit

[distant obsidian]

mhm

like mr cant read eft announcmenets from a few days ago

he was asking why he didnt get the new tasks for the event and said the eft annoucement didnty say way

[fair dawn]

"what are pillagers?!"

[proven marten]

so apperantly when your stashing the masks for ref's quest. it can take the one your wearing

[distant obsidian]

dont wear them, they suck

[fair dawn]

they are only lvl 3, not the lvl 4 ones you are thinking they are

[distant obsidian]

none of them are level 4 anymore

[proven marten]

i know they suck. but there cool looking

[fair dawn]

oh really? thats nice!

[distant obsidian]

i think they looks like ass

[proven marten]

some look like ass some are decent

[fair dawn]

all preference

[proven marten]

true

one that is just plain ugly is the demon one. the one with the green toohy smile

[distant obsidian]

i think wearing a hockey mask on a battlefield is just silly and not tacticool

[fair dawn]

even that actual "armored" ones will literaly just at best shatter your face bones if not penetrated

[peak coral]

should i do skier or ref for this event

is there even an achievement reward or no

[distant obsidian]

ref. gp coins

[fair dawn]

ref has better stuff

[gentle pulsar]

ref has better stuf and he gives you 3 free arena containers

gear, value, gun

no achievement

[proven marten]

plus skier is just a rat

[bronze saddle]

Skier is an asshole anyway.. its annoying how 90% of all events this asshole is involved in them

[proven marten]

true

let there be a event where he gets hurt badly and someone replaces him for a while

[carmine lantern]

[proven marten]

erecom base is where i've seen on group

[distant obsidian]

that link shows where

wiki knows all

[bold fjord]

when does this event end? these pillagers are really making me want a break

[vale atlas]

15th

[bold fjord]

gotcha thank you. i shall return to the game then

[distant obsidian]

pillagers are not that hard.

[fair dawn]

Use hard cover maybe

[distant obsidian]

mhm

standing in hte open and moving like a pve player make its hard lol

[proven marten]

plus lvl 3 masks

[bold fjord]

maybe for you. some of us arent good at the gameor play everyday

[distant obsidian]

I play 1 raid a week or so

[fair dawn]

Not running in a open field/area is easy

[distant obsidian]

you dont need to be a god gamer to think

[tired portal]

Does the toolset get consumed on terminal when fixing the electrical panels

[distant obsidian]

no

toss it after

[proven marten]

maybe

[bold fjord]

how about not assuming how someone is playing. very well aware of taking cover and i do

[distant obsidian]

I can assume becuase your struggling vs them

they cant shoot you if you move and peak well

IE, using cover

its deduction.

[fair dawn]

in fact, that gives a lot of information. i shall assume as i please

[bold fjord]

so laying behind a cement barricade peaking around isnt considered cover to you, got it.

[proven marten]

hey what barter guns have the reaper thermal sight?

[distant obsidian]

laying down? Lol o my

[fair dawn]

laying down is problem, you have 0 mobility

[distant obsidian]

m4

[tired portal]

how do i know all the panels are fixed if there is 2-54

[distant obsidian]

there is 1 per run

[bold fjord]

i mean instead of insulting people who are new to the game, maybe try and be helpful and explain things

[distant obsidian]

only 1

[proven marten]

i saw that one but dont have a ledx or the cash to spare for one

[distant obsidian]

no one is insulting you

instead of getting defensive when people help you, listen to those people NOT having issues

[distant obsidian]

thats it

[proven marten]

well shit

[fair dawn]

Don’t go prone, and use lean to peak around hard cover

Prone lowers the visible profile in which you are able to be hit down the the arms extending in front of you and your face

[distant obsidian]

right hand peaks only

not left

left hand peaks get you killed in tarkov

[bold fjord]

i apologize for the aggression kind of not having good runs

[fair dawn]

All good dude 🙂

[distant obsidian]

^

[tired portal]

can i fix the electrical panels before going through admin? i see there is 10 spawns and 5 are before admin

[distant obsidian]

ive never seen one broken before admin

[bold fjord]

ok there we go, now that i know prone sucks and .300 black out is good i killed some

[thorn granite]

is there an issue with coop on pve?

[distant obsidian]

no

whoever hosts between me and my buddy gets to get in to raid. Whoever doesnt crashes

#community-support

[fair dawn]

it makes me sad that kolontay and his guards have the absolute worst loot of all bosses

[fervent peak]

I do wish there was more excitement for boss loot, oh well

[fair dawn]

we shall both keep on wishing

[raw nest]

I mean reshala's loot got much much better

[fervent peak]

For PvE, the spark is gone pretty quick since we get access to most of their stuff anyways

[raw nest]

But it's still okay at best

[fair dawn]

i only farm them streets bosses for the ammo and potiential labs access cards. That and the lexos key that sells for 571 off kaban

[loud eagle]

где буянов

[fervent peak]

Eh, majority of my ammo is from labs spawns

[raw nest]

This is english server for other languages use #regional-communities

[fair dawn]

thats where most of my ammo is from

[reef furnace]

Imagine if they added "replica" plates of the granit plates, but instead of ceramic they're made of armored steel or titanum

Would give people more reason to use the ghzel or zhuk

[fair dawn]

just got my 3rd RBK off a streets scav. Hell yeah

[reef furnace]

rbk?

[fervent peak]

Rusted Bloody Key

[fair dawn]

Rusty bloody key

[reef furnace]

Ohhhh

I thought it was some reserve room

Ehem

[fair dawn]

and it had the worst loot ive ever seen in it 🙁

med tools, bloodset, 1 gp coin, 1 egg, and 3 not good keys.

[proven marten]

hey what electroinc spawn on lab can give a MCC

[fair dawn]

Cat, violet, yellow, hangar button room next to yellow

those are the most common locations ive seeen it

[crude kraken]

if im doing setup and i wear the JPC can i put better plates on it or nah?

[raw nest]

any

[crude kraken]

also whats a good ammo type for the shotgun

[fair dawn]

Plates dont matter

[crude kraken]

thanks

[fair dawn]

piranah, or 8.5 mag buck

[crude kraken]

yeah i was thinking of maybe farming tagilla to get piranah

since i dont have jager lv2

[proven marten]

for ref's quest after you picked his side. am i just going back to the contaior that i went into for the AA shotgun quest?

[proud pebble]

why cant the MCX fold its stock

[austere wraith]

Where th do ppl find electric drills i cant seem to find any at interchange by any means

[meager halo]

Yellow

[fair dawn]

streets industrial area, or the construction site at collapsed crane

[crude kraken]

what are the cultist circle prices based on btw

or is it like abitrary

[fair dawn]

i dont really understand the question so i cant answer

[icy rock]

Trader prices I guess

[fair dawn]

there are known "recipes' in which you put an item/set of items and you are guranteed to get certain items in return

[crude kraken]

yeah which tho

[fair dawn]

and then outside of that, arbitrary

[distant obsidian]

wiki has cc crafts yes

[charred perch]

Oh god, the 3s15m plates are awesome. 900grams to tier 5 and good repairability... My full setup wights 35kg

[cosmic patrol]

cheese

[marble bronze]

and you can duplicate them with the tactec craft

[crude kraken]

like in the cultist calculator it has certain prices

but i have some items that arent listes there

[charred perch]

is it worth? The trade for 1 ram isnt that expensive

[fair dawn]

arbitrary

[crude kraken]

aaah aight

[marble bronze]

it's a couple bits of fabric

so, yeah kinda lol

[distant obsidian]

??circle

[quasi apex]

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

[charred perch]

didnt knew about it, thanks bro

[marble bronze]

Thor still works fine

[charred perch]

You can just use 5 SJ9 too work for 14h circle for 250k

[crude kraken]

who sells good plates btw

[marble bronze]

or 1 sas for 50-60k

[charred perch]

just one sas? Am I spending more than I need the whole time?

[marble bronze]

one sas to PK4 for a THOR

[charred perch]

ooh, gotcha

[marble bronze]

thor gives guaranteed 6/14hr

[charred perch]

the best plates are barter with Ram sticks. use the required search on the ram and you can find it. Dont remember now which trader is

[reef furnace]

Ragman

Tier 4

[charred perch]

thanks bro, I would never discover this craft hahahaha. It's like 80-90k to duplicate. Using a already worn plate make this even more worth

[final geode]

bljee why can we only carry 1 goshan cash register key

I mean yeah that key IS pretty strong but after 1 run u end up with 10 uses left

I made 620k w 30x cash registers and the key costs ~390k for 40x uses

[distant obsidian]

sounds like a waste of time

you can pull that from loose loot at any smuggler camp

[final geode]

yeah u right tho
that key has an use early game when u broke bot at some point it aint worth anymore

[crude kraken]

ok thanks but also apart from that some like, mid range plates, so i dont have to farm tagilla for his

[fervent peak]

400k from registers? I could do that with like 8 ES lamps lol

[charred perch]

tagilla plates are so heavy

[distant obsidian]

get lav 3 and the tactec craft and start making t5 gacs

[crude kraken]

aight

[crude kraken]

i know but man they are easy as fuck to get

[fervent peak]

Or use RAM to get the T6 plates from ragman, which are lightweight and great on repairs

[distant obsidian]

rag 3 t5 gacs, rag 4 t6 gacs

[jaunty stream]

[crude kraken]

are spartan omega plates good

since i kinda just need a midtier plate that doesnt make me slow as fuck

[fervent peak]

Depends on stats

[astral kindle]

No, its lvl 4

[fervent peak]

4.4KG???? Hell naw

[crude kraken]

I DID NOT SEE IT WAS 4KG

tbf the plates im running rn are dogass

[fervent peak]

Use monoclete

I believe the trooper armor comes with those as default

[crude kraken]

im mid tier rn

so idk

[fervent peak]

Monoclete is C4

iunno what you're trying to say with 'I'm mid tier'

PMCs wear decent plates for mid tier, if that's applicable

(Why the fuck is Trooper armor a Ragman 4 barter?)

[crude kraken]

i just got gac v

its over

[fervent peak]

y u no korund

[scarlet violet]

hey guys, it seems i have a infinite cola?

i cann drink as many times as i want from it

[fervent peak]

This is like the infinite shower beer hack where you add water to the beer to make it last longer xD

[scarlet violet]

the game catches me using it and gives me bad count xD

but essentially i have infinite cola still

as sad as it is, i think maybe i will have to kill infinite soda

[crude kraken]

doubt it will

[scarlet violet]

when i use it, i get bad count

[humble cliff]

just drop it in raid, itll be fine

[scarlet violet]

nah i killed it

not going to waste time

[humble cliff]

oh wait like it had a value similar to a bottle of water?

[scarlet violet]

no, i just could re use infinite times

but if you use the item you get bad count error

[humble cliff]

ohh ok so like in stash?

[scarlet violet]

ye

[blissful eagle]

Is playing arena worth it for pve?

[humble cliff]

yeah deleting its the bext option

[scarlet violet]

no

[blissful eagle]

how come

[humble cliff]

yes and no

[scarlet violet]

that's what i did

[scarlet violet]

most things that arena gives ain't really worth in pve

as easy as that

[blissful eagle]

isnt it good for leveling early? i just wiped my acc. yesterday.

[scarlet violet]

nope

just do quests

way faster

[humble cliff]

what?

yeah you you get xp from arena

[scarlet violet]

and arena lvl only with pvp btw

[humble cliff]

should atleast

[blissful eagle]

its linked to pve

[scarlet violet]

the skills DO tho

[humble cliff]

wait for real?

[scarlet violet]

not xp

[astral kindle]

Can't remember if arena gives pve xp but it does infact skills

[blissful eagle]

huh

[humble cliff]

ohh

[scarlet violet]

yes

[blissful eagle]

oh then its pointless

[scarlet violet]

only skills

[scarlet violet]

it is pointless

[humble cliff]

so ill suggest doing this

ref's tasks, for the few legas he gives you

[scarlet violet]

y?

[humble cliff]

but honestly dont take the grumpy key

[scarlet violet]

the things you get with lega you get with quests at the same progress

[humble cliff]

take the other one, its located over by car extract on woods, better loot, grumpys just a few plates not worth it in the long run

yeah but early on you can still make some good profits from those keys depending on how high a level you are like if i had that key at level like 10-20 id absolutely run that key till its done

but not grumpy, grump was a bust for me, i regret taking it

[scarlet violet]

isn't jsut getting lvl 30 for labs farm way better tho?

[humble cliff]

but doing refs arena tasks is worth it for the gp, lots of useful stuff early on, plates boxes for one

[scarlet violet]

i don't think gp is that good tho

only if poor

[humble cliff]

honestly, i dont even run labs, i get shit on if i solo it and any time iv ran labs with people i leave empty because everyone knows where to rush too

[scarlet violet]

do solo labs, it's really worth to learn the map, trust

[humble cliff]

refs got some good trades for gp, the guns are just ok though, but the containers he has?

yeah i tried that, kept getting shit on, not worth losing kits over

[scarlet violet]

if you learn the map, if will be easier

[blissful eagle]

"Experience, skills and mastery leveled in EFT: Arena transfers it to both PvE and PvP mode:" tarkovarena . com

[scarlet violet]

experience doesn't still

to pve only

search a bit more and you will see it

[blissful eagle]

so it's been changed after 1 September 2025

[scarlet violet]

i dunno since when, but we don't got xp to pve

already tried myself, didn't work

[reef furnace]

Bro

Reshala guards are now running 9x39 BP

Scary

[minor imp]

Is it just me or does 7.62x39 ammo suck really bad?

[scarlet violet]

depends on the bullet

[minor imp]

BP

[scarlet violet]

normally no

sometimes game is ass and then yes

but it's with all bullets in that case

[marble bronze]

definitely just you

[minor imp]

I feel that the 5.45 ammo is working better than 762

[humble cliff]

thats the main fplatform i use

[marble bronze]

define "working better"

[faint sparrow]

whats up fellas, are cultists really 12 on factory? i cant find them

[humble cliff]

works in most cases, otherwise i run an x-17 with m80

[minor imp]

shooting someone in the head with 762x39 BP isnt doing anything, but on the other hand 5.45 BT will one shot someone in the head, helmet or not helmet

[humble cliff]

^ yup exactly

even BP does a good enough job

[scarlet violet]

that is the game being shitty on god

but i feel u gng

[humble cliff]

now BS, and 7N40 or PPBS? armor melting

[marble bronze]

always 7n40

[scarlet violet]

xD

[marble bronze]

unless you're in Labrys

[humble cliff]

honestly, BS has been getting the job done for me with armor melting as of late just fine, been able to save all of my higher grade shit as a result

[minor imp]

Could have sworn that 5.45 use to be the crappy ammo regardless what varient you used and 7.62x39 PP and above was ungodly

[humble cliff]

i mean most of 545 is, but its better ammo is abundant as hell, i can burn through 90 rounds of bp and not even be phased going into the next raid you know? and half the time im barely scraping through half that much per raid

[minor imp]

I like 5.45, its what I have been using almost this entire time. Just decided to switch to 762 since I had a mutant and my shots against shit seems like im shooting nerf

[humble cliff]

yeah once i got an x-17 reciver for the scar, and was able to buy m80, my nl545 became my general use fireare, and the x-17 for bosses in most cases

[crude kraken]

yeah idk about that one i just shot someone head level with it and he just looked at me as if i pissed in his tea

[marble bronze]

i tend to prefer 7.62x39 to 5.45

[marble bronze]

depending on range you might have only shot him in the throat

[crude kraken]

ah yes

[humble cliff]

yeah unfortunately the drop of 545 is rough

[crude kraken]

the throat, the least valuable part of the body

the average person goes through his life being shot 5 or 8 times a year

[marble bronze]

the average tarkov person, yeah lol

[winter latch]

Anyone seen some goons?

[marble bronze]

flat spawn on any of their maps

[winter latch]

Oh

No more rotating? Nice gonna keep doing one map than

[dawn echo]

bruh so the goons dont fight villagers

[marble bronze]

correct

or Reshy

[faint sparrow]

do you get rewards for survey in both modes if you have both or only in the one you do it on?

[marble bronze]

walked intoa fight against all three at Fortress, was uh... fun.

[faint sparrow]

who won?

[crystal umbra]

holy fuck, did the Pillager event and unpacked one of the arena rare cases from reward. Got like 11 GP, a Vibin sneaker... and a Rusted bloody key

didn't even know they could drop from the arena cases

[marble bronze]

why, i did of course. was a nugget by the end tho lol

[faint sparrow]

i got an rbk from a scav on lighthouse once

[faint sparrow]

did they all target you? cuz i know ai scavs and pmcs dont fight eachother when theres a player

[rare furnace]

how do you get pmcs to come to dorms? i've done like 20-30 local/bsg raids and nothing happens
last quest im stuck on before kappa

[fallen mason]

Just keep trying

[marble bronze]

yeah they all wanted a piece fo me

[marble bronze]

you don't, generally. they tend to get stuck in other places if they don't spawn there

[rare furnace]

do they actually spawn in there or wander there?

[marble bronze]

pretty sure they sapwn there

[crystal umbra]

had the same happen to me a day ago, lmao. Got jumped by Goons, Reshala, Pillagers AND Cultists on night Customs. Ofc they all ignored each other and just went for me.

#screenshots message

[marble bronze]

i've encountered them there when i had the really close spawn

[marble bronze]

naturally, you had the best loot

[crystal umbra]

I walked off with just some decent ammo and one single Dorms 314 key

I miss when Cultists were dropping fat ass loot during the boss event

[minor imp]

Crazy thing I have never found a 314 key, ever

[crystal umbra]

coincidentally I also spawned really close (by Reshala's bunkhouse) to the Stronghold when it happened. There was nothing on my side, but they were all queued on the other side of the bulding instead

waiting for me

[solemn panther]

Is Streets of Tarkov rich?
I feel like it’s time I should go learn Streets

[winter latch]

Streets is nice. You can really get alot of stuff there. Been allways generous to me

[faint sparrow]

fellas, i cant find any electric drills, got 3 on pvp but none on pve and i got 20x the hours here, any tips?

[winter latch]

Reserve is a good map for hideout stuff. I found alot of drills there

[faint sparrow]

reserve? really, i got recommended shoreline(none), interchange(none) but the most i found were on factory in pvp, might just go there a few times, get some plates too

[winter latch]

Factory has alot of toolboxes. Where i find my usually. But reserve is nice for all hideout for me personally. Streets has allso shit ton of drawers so can find there too

[faint sparrow]

alr ty for the tips

funny thing is i got more gpus and ldxes than drills

[winter latch]

I guess its personal luck. Dont shoot me if you dont find any. Just sharing my personal luck hehe

[faint sparrow]

if i dont find any today ill do cultist circle and pray to their priets or smth

[native osprey]

Great run on Streets ended by landmines. RIP

[crude kraken]

i just realized i almost finisheda all of prapor's quests

it says 27/33

idk if thats the actuall quests or the ones i have completed so far

[faint sparrow]

ll4?

[fallen mason]

The ones you have completed and unlocked so far. He has more than that.

[raw nest]

There's more

[faint sparrow]

did they reduce tagillas aggresion? i heard him voiceline 5 minutes ago and he dissapeared

[raw nest]

He rats now more

[faint sparrow]

alr, makes sense

wait nvm i killed him with an impact

i threw just because

[crude kraken]

YAYAYA

[crude kraken]

MAN SAME I DIDNT EVEN HEAR HIM SNEAK UP ON ME I GOT JUMPSCARED CUZ HE WAS SNEAKING WITH AN NPC

[faint sparrow]

man i like, threw a nade to listen for voicelines, thought i killed 2 scavs, turns out it was scav, pmc and tagilla

happened faster than finding a drill

[crude kraken]

i saw tagilla getting 2 men'd by 2 pmcs

[faint sparrow]

they tend to fight at the start of the raid

NVM PMCS KILLED HIM? WOW FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED FOR ME

i never saw pmcs kill any boss

also, did we get any gifts for easter from niki?

[fervent peak]

It's not impossible for bosses to die to ai, it's just unlikely

That said, ai tend to run more flesh oriented ammo, so if they hit arms, legs, or just unarmoured parts more often, bosses lose a lot more hp that way

[obtuse talon]

Can someone help I was level 38 now I’m 30 I haven’t played in 6 months and remember being 38

[astral kindle]

Was last time you played before 1.0?

[obtuse talon]

Yes

[astral kindle]

XP values got adjusted in 1.0

For example my lvl dropped from 78 -> 73

[obtuse talon]

Dang

[pastel hull]

no your character forgets when you stop playing for too long

[astral kindle]

But i can recommend wiping eitherway as you are still quite low lvl

New content is locked behind wiping

[obtuse talon]

How do I wipe my pve account

[steady fjord]

what is the pillager faction, they special scavs?

[faint sparrow]

yup

for event

[steady fjord]

ahhh thanks, was like wth are scavs killing me each time ( when playing as scav)

[faint sparrow]

damn, tagilla does indeed rat more he just stood in one place and waiter for my mk47

and also, 762pp works wonders

YOOOOO LABRYS KEYCARD

[astral kindle]

Login into tarkov's website -> Profile -> setting and somewhere there should be wipe button

[faint sparrow]

my 2nd found in raid, first one was from pries

[astral kindle]

Can't bother relog into website so can't lookup exact location for it

[pastel hull]

tagilla's face shield is ass cheeks even m855 destroys it it's like aluminium foil

[primal heath]

What are the odds raiders spawning in reserve D2 bunker after the switch is flipped?

[worthy otter]

50 50 it either happens or it doesn't happen

[flint osprey]

1st PMC raid today. Killed Kolontay and his guards in the MVD building. Went to go loot them in the locker area in the back and literally got stuck in the wall. Alt+f4 to ty and reset, and reloaded into the same spot where I was stuck. :/ sadge

[faint sparrow]

same with anything in this game, especially cultists

[drowsy palm]

is level 20 too ealry for Labyrynth?

[faint sparrow]

depends on your ammo

[fervent peak]

Should go in and see what happens 😄

[primal heath]

yeah level 20 is gonna have a rough time unless you found 50+ Pen and have a gun to shoot it fast

[maiden grove]

hey guys havent played for a long time. is there any benefit in taking BEAR now apart from the little rep boost for the BTR?

[fervent peak]

What rep boost?

[primal heath]

No Bear is Butt because rogues aggro you 900 miles away

[maiden grove]

wasnt it a bit cheaper and had more storage for bear?

[faint sparrow]

it doesnt really matter but rouges aggro less for usecs

[fervent peak]

BTR storage and prices are tied to SCAV rep.

[maiden grove]

ah ok

[faint sparrow]

why is tagilla doing partisan lvl ratting

he ran to me, threw a nade and ran away

[reef furnace]

Boss AI is back to being dangerous (don't got a problem with that)

But that also brought back the fucking thing of them being able to hit your nape despite you're facing toward their direction

[faint sparrow]

me neither, before that he just ran straight at me wiht his hammer out

[reef furnace]

Im speaking of other bosses

Tagilla is an ambush boss

[faint sparrow]

ohhhh, tagilla didnt seem like an ambush boss to me

he just always ran straight at me

[reef furnace]

He kinda just waits for you to let your guard down

Then he whips out the hammer and rushes you

[faint sparrow]

interesting, it only happened like that ~5 times, now when i was healing and listening and before when i was shooting scavs, but always he just ran to me on whatever lvl i was at

maybe it had to do with me throwing 4 nades or more per raid but still

[reef furnace]

Yeah AI tends to change their tactic

When you throw a bunch of nades at their direction

[faint sparrow]

not really in their direction but to the whole map to sorta pin point location

[solemn panther]

Are there any good crafts for Nutuition station that doesn't lose me money?
Trying to level crafting

[reef furnace]

Water rations

And MREs

[faint sparrow]

also i had no idea that 762pp was such a solid round, i either ran bp or mai

[reef furnace]

BP only has 6 more points of pen than PP

So there's not much of a difference

If we're not counting damage overall

[solemn panther]

Cool gonna give them a try

[faint sparrow]

thats like saying theres not much of a diff between ps and pp, 6 difference too

but pp is better than bp because of damage, most of the time nothing has armor better than 4 on pve

[valid herald]

Hey guys, does anyone know if you can unlock the "I am speed" and "easy way" achievemetns in game right now? Or should I wait longer.

I got the 500 mil and just unlocked the case, but I am seeing conflicting information online.

[pastel hull]

those are not added to pve yet i think

[brisk canyon]

Does someone know if the arena items that currently are dropped by the Pillagers will be avalible after-wards or is it a closed lootpool just for this event ?

[mossy blade]

best place for COFDMs?

[reef furnace]

closed lootpoll

[vast orchid]

reserve is where i see them often

[mossy blade]

like ive checked pretyy much every spawn area (Labrys, Reserve & Lighthouse) and find barely any

[reef furnace]

PKPTS in reserve

[vast orchid]

👆

[brisk canyon]

sad to hear geuss have to farm some dripp as long as it last

[mossy blade]

well 3 more cofdms to find

[reef furnace]

Blame it on Nikita

[vast orchid]

speaking of pillagers... are the goons not on the maps where they spawn?

[reef furnace]

Bro locked behind a paywall one of the best 5.56 weapons ingame (the radian)

[mossy blade]

They are on these maps

Goons appear on every map normally

[pseudo kayak]

7.62x39 PP is the goat

[vast orchid]

I havent seen them in a hot min

[pseudo kayak]

alongside CBJ

[brisk canyon]

nhaa it cool that they make it avalible for pve even if its just a event

[mossy blade]

Ive seen them 3 times today

Shoreline Lighthouse and Customs

[pseudo kayak]

took me like 18 matches yday in a row of customs to run into them

[reef furnace]

Yeah but he could like, make the skins permanent, and keep exclusive other stuff like the Radian M1 and such

[reef furnace]

Frfr, also based MCafe pfp

[spare prairie]

ive got them every run of customs wanna trade im tired of randomly being sprayed by them 😂

[pseudo kayak]

thanks kirarararara

[pseudo kayak]

lucky ahh mf

[vast orchid]

i kinda wish they would put them back in a map rotation

[spare prairie]

they've mainly been around the highway next to dorms for me if your trying to hunt them

[pseudo kayak]

nah i like it this way, murdering them on all their spawns is peak behavior

[pseudo kayak]

for me they've been at provide 2nd floor

[vast orchid]

provide?

[pseudo kayak]

idk it's name, the building you do provide viewership for ref

[vast orchid]

AHHHHH

sylos

[mossy blade]

4 more bosses for Snowball...

[pseudo kayak]

if only you did it during the epic reserve event 💔

[spare prairie]

everyone calls it something different lol Industrial, panda, silos, ect.

[pseudo kayak]

ok so that's what panda is got it

[mossy blade]

yeha its the only place called mnay different things

like the ONLY place called so many names

[faint sparrow]

90-150k to run a kit just ammo lol

But i guess its pocket change on pve

[pseudo kayak]

you should see how cheap i am on pvp

[mossy blade]

Did they nerf Labs again

[willow tinsel]

I mean, panda, is the only building with a panda graffiti

[pseudo kayak]

Im the fucking mp153 warrior on pvp

[faint sparrow]

Cpuld be

[willow tinsel]

If you told me industrial building, I'm like which one on customs

[mossy blade]

im gonna strangle nikita for just buffing and nerfing things

[faint sparrow]

Im the .366 vpo on pvp decent, cheap, comebacks and decent ammo fence (eko/fmj)

[pseudo kayak]

next Nikita will make the blicky fire 40mms !!

[mossy blade]

ive also had the craziest cultist hunt ever

Goons -> Pillagers -> Reshala -> Cultists
-> Partisant on end

[faint sparrow]

are the ppsh nato ammo any good? look hella fun

[mossy blade]

its arena ammo no?

TT M995

[faint sparrow]

yup

5a1 and 6a1 sorry

also chat when i first started playing pve (november) i had a pmc spawn in wiht 11 mai AP (or it was partisan i dont remember) are they any rare? ive had loads of 7.62bp on pmcs and once ppbs but never mai ap again

[mossy blade]

MAI AP is a spawn on only Vengeful Killa

[final geode]

nahuuuui this Game crashed while I load into streets with a blooded rust key...

and since 5 mins loading into server

[mossy blade]

Rejoin then

[final geode]

LOADING o7

ok spawned right now

[faint sparrow]

then howd i get 11 pieces of it as lvl15?

[final geode]

perfect spawn too niiiice

[faint sparrow]

gen curious

also i may be tweaking but tagilla got a buff in aim

[spare prairie]

Pretty sure all AI got a slight boost ive noticed everything hurts an hits its shots a little more often

its nice tho dosent feel like you can freely walk around the map an do whatever u want anymore

[faint sparrow]

cuz tagilla almost got me twice in a row then dipped somewhere

he was alot easier even yesterday

[glass dawn]

Bro, these piligers fucking hurt

[mossy blade]

Its crazy pillagers have the same ai preset as BD

[spare prairie]

Snipe them 1 round of 7.62x51 to the face an there dead dont rush them head on they will black your whole body out lol

[glass dawn]

I thought so

[glass dawn]

I love spawning infront of them

[mossy blade]

Pillagers are the same as BD when it comes to fighting them, just pillagers have worse shit

[spare prairie]

yea a few of the spawns are cancer for them

[mossy blade]

Especially Lighthouse

The fucking road is terrible

I hope this event ends soon

[faint sparrow]

4 more days?>

[spare prairie]

its till the 15th

[mossy blade]

my lord

thank you

[vast orchid]

its all about placement... I love taking the ones in customs from the bridge itself (spawned there and fucked them up in less than 5 mins)

if you do inter, get ontop of the rocks on the other side of the wall where they spawn at the scav camp

[mossy blade]

Im waiting for that large scale ecent

[faint sparrow]

i wish there was a second cultist event

[spare prairie]

having an event like every week is nice tbh game was getting kinda stale just hitting keyrooms

[faint sparrow]

it would be nice if there were more electric drills

[vast orchid]

go to the scav camp in interchange i see atleast 2 there

[spare prairie]

interchange camp runs are great for hideout/quest items ^

[vast orchid]

ammo too. i see pbrs constantly

[spare prairie]

theres an Intel spawn, Ledx spawn, an defib spawn there aswell so good for money to

[final geode]

RB-BK + Check 15 in blooded rust key room

[willow tinsel]

It used to be insane with nearly guaranteed ledx and defib spawn too

[vast orchid]

GGEZ

[faint sparrow]

The one behind ultra or at flare exfil

[jade saffron]

ok does killing partizan set all his traps to go off?
shot him in the car extract village on woods and then I just heard like 4 grenades go off inside of the village almost simultaneously

[pseudo kayak]

what's a fun 5.56 gun

[jade saffron]

just play the m16 with no mods at all (ironsights and such)
quite fun

[west sigil]

How good is the looting on Streets? Some people speak of it like it's this promised land where roubles fall from the sky and keycards bloom like flowers out of every filing cabinet but I think that might be a bit hyperbolic.

[crystal oyster]

if you go there with a purpose like looking for good ammo rooms then hitting MVD or the security bunker pays out, as well as tarbank for a big hit of rubles/usd/euros, stuff like that

[west sigil]

Got it

[bitter widget]

yeah i gotta know when does this event end

i haven't actually seen any info on when so far

[jade saffron]

also the "negotiations" room building has a guaranteed spawn for the relax room key, which is a bit of a walk to get to, but it spawns a whole lot of valuables and occasionally also a moonshine

[west sigil]

The 12th, I think.

[bitter widget]

yay

[west sigil]

How good of loot is Moonshine?

Or does it have good barters

[bitter widget]

very

[crystal oyster]

it sells well, and can be used for scav case

[west sigil]

I see

[crystal oyster]

also trades for thicc items case

[jade saffron]

around 400k on flea even more if you turn it into vodka, good barters and all

[willow tinsel]

Labrys key card barter aswell

[west sigil]

I do have a Check 13 marked key for Streets but idunno how good the loot in there is.

[willow tinsel]

Which, is prolly the only real main use

[crystal oyster]

its a marked room so it could be insane or not great at all

[west sigil]

At least I assume it's for streets.

[willow tinsel]

Aside from scav case but who cares, and thicc case barter is not even worth it for that amount of moonshine

[jade saffron]

check 13 is streets, but I recommend you got a nearby extract when you want to open it
opened one and then ran into the plunderers on way to extract

[west sigil]

Plunderers?

[willow tinsel]

Think he means pillagers

[west sigil]

Odd, didn't think they spawned on Streets.

[jade saffron]

yes it is 11pm so my brain laggs

[willow tinsel]

But we understand you so no big deal

[west sigil]

And Kolltonay and his bullshit magic baton spawns only in Klimov or the MVD Academy?

Oh, I also have a rusted bloody key, but that's only got one use.

[jade saffron]

you need it for a quest, so keep it for that
you cnanot put it into your container

[west sigil]

Right, okay.

I'm gonna try my luck with the guard desk key for dorms

I will probably get nothing but wish me luck

[pseudo kayak]

is arena still good for levelling skills

[willow tinsel]

Yea

If you mean combat skills

[west sigil]

Arena skill levels transfer to PvE?

Huh.

[willow tinsel]

And physical skills sure

[west sigil]

Or is that only after you complete To Great Heights pt. 3

[pseudo kayak]

which ones specifically even get levelled besides for aim drills and end/health/vit?

[jade saffron]

on the wall, there is a cabinet for keys, think that can have the marked room key on rare occasions

[west sigil]

That's what I'm hoping for.

[willow tinsel]

Whatever you do the most

Like, sure you level up endurance, but if you think you're going to level up skills that doesn't make sense to level in arena like surgical, yea think again

But, its the same way its levelled in base game, but unlike base game, there is no threshold

So you can sprint the entire round, never stop, and you won't have to worry about diminishing returns

[rotund talon]

Got lucky now on shoreline killed 6 pilagers and got 2 great guns and superwater

[gentle pulsar]

what kinda guns

[rotund talon]

Spear and ak105

Third was p90 in full kit

[gentle pulsar]

spear is stanky

ak105 i can understand and p90 i havent used in ages

[narrow ravine]

are bosses 100%?

[vast orchid]

i think they are 70% with goons being 30% for all of their spawn maps

[bitter widget]

goons is 1/3

[narrow ravine]

ok lol tagilla has been there 100% the last like 11 raids on factory lol

[bitter widget]

oh

tagilla has five spawns on factory so when every one checks for the 70% he's spawning 99% of the time lmao

[narrow ravine]

that is good to know

[jade saffron]

think that playing local or on server is also affecting it
never had partizan on woods while playing with a friend, but solo that guy is stalking me relentlessly

[bitter widget]

that's wild

ive literally never seen partizan

[willow tinsel]

That's luck, I ran into him a couple of times with a few timmys

[bitter widget]

eh i consider it good

i dislike the way they balance bosses so the less I fight them the better

[gentle pulsar]

what specifically do you dislike about bosses

[bitter widget]

respecfully

if i shoot someone in the head. they die.

bosses (some of them) simply don't do that

any enemy that BSG has just increased their health to make them more difficult is an automatic pass for me

[pseudo kayak]

WOAH WOAH WOAH

[gentle pulsar]

so every boss should have the same health as you ontop of not be wearing effective armor?

ontop of being stupid ai

sounds quite easy

[bitter widget]

lol I mean if you want to leave them as they are sure

[gentle pulsar]

they are already pretty easy?

[bitter widget]

but if bosses had similar health as us it would make sense to compensate with more armour or better AI

[pseudo kayak]

i think we should give them wall hacks

[gentle pulsar]

they already do lol

[pseudo kayak]

wallhacks and 1000+ hp

[bitter widget]

never said they're hard I just strongly dislike the shooting someone in the head twice part

[gentle pulsar]

or use ammo that would do it in a single bullet

[bitter widget]

I use flesh most of the time

[pseudo kayak]

birdeye should be able to call in a northstar titan

[bitter widget]

^ real and based

[pseudo kayak]

and then get in it and rocket strafe you

[willow tinsel]

Not a northstar titan

[bitter widget]

give tagilla a ronin

[west sigil]

No marked key. I did kill Reshala and his guards tho

[pseudo kayak]

kaban gets scorch

knight gets vanguard

[willow tinsel]

[pseudo kayak]

im cooking

[willow tinsel]

It fits kaban

[bitter widget]

[west sigil]

Tagilla would get Ronin

Because melee

[pseudo kayak]

they need to add a cultist boss

[bitter widget]

priest is a boss technically

[pseudo kayak]

but instead of ai it's an invading player with over 3000+ hours in labs

[bitter widget]

[haughty iron]

[bitter widget]

[pseudo kayak]

[bitter widget]

[willow tinsel]

B tier at most

[bitter widget]

[pseudo kayak]

I always enjoyed tone and ronin

[bitter widget]

i can't slander you because of manhattan cafe but those are the most cringe picks possible

next you're gonna say you liked the car

[rotund talon]

Well bosses are possible to be 1 taped

Just u need best ammo and lot of skill

[pseudo kayak]

wtf

[sweet helm]

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

[willow tinsel]

Think the only round that can 1 tap any boss, is 338 AP

Ofc headshot

That includes Shagilla

[narrow ravine]

50bmg

slapp

[west sigil]

I was about to mention that.

[narrow ravine]

goes hard asf

[trail sail]

Those things are so rare

Seen em twice or something

[narrow ravine]

at softcore before 1.0 i bought a bunch from the flea since they opened it to everything

[west sigil]

.50 BMG SLAPP is the quickest way to end an argument aside from a 40mm grenade

[pseudo kayak]

we love axmc labrys clear

[bitter widget]

I just loaded into an interchange round next to power station and got my head taken off by pillagers before walking 5 feet love it

like I wish i had recorded that

[west sigil]

But a 40mm grenade is just about the end-all-be-all in man-portable ways of telling someone to go fuck themselves

[pseudo kayak]

god bless the ash 12

[west sigil]

Short of perhaps, some kind of rocket launcher

[pseudo kayak]

i hated vector users until i used it myself

[willow tinsel]

Oh yeah i forgot that even existed

[gentle pulsar]

vector is hilarious for leg meta
45 AP has 38 pen and 9x19 PBP has 39, thats really the vectors biggest drawback

so often times ill take rip rounds for them instead and just spray

[willow tinsel]

Did you guys do the survey

[gentle pulsar]

ofc

[willow tinsel]

We need that prestige asap

[gentle pulsar]

im not interested in prestige if it resets the items in my stash and/or my skills

quests, level, traders, everything else idc

[trail sail]

First prestige only gives back 10 or 20% skills back sadly

[gentle pulsar]

which is stupid, it shouldnt take any away at all that way we have more time to actually make use of max skills

[willow tinsel]

I stopped grinding skills, knowing I'm chasing for prestige either way

[distant obsidian]

5%

per prestige

[glossy hound]

why is the ski hat for sew it good pt 1 so rare lmao

[trail sail]

Oh

That sucks even more

[pseudo kayak]

oh i just use pbp for ARENA bc of the vectors firerate

[trail sail]

Arena PBP is gigachad but main game its so dogshit

[pseudo kayak]

ive never tried out tc ap

[gentle pulsar]

im going for the ending that i want the most (since im interested in lore) then im not prestiging until its actually worth the rewards

[pseudo kayak]

i wonder if tc ap 1 shots the chest in arena

[gentle pulsar]

the time lost isnt worth what you gain

[willow tinsel]

I mean

If you're at the point of 0 side quests, your fave ending done, ofc I wanna reset to have something new to work towards while getting cosmetic rewards for it

[gentle pulsar]

oh i dont use the vector in arena. i usually bounce between the AK12, G36 or Deagle

i just mean pvp catching juicers off guard and bypassing their t6 armor

[gentle pulsar]

sure that sounds good on paper but its the same side quests every single time, you say all this like people dont dread the location specific pmc kill quests

the only difference is the main quests, which i dont think has enough depth to warrant another playthrough that completely wipes everything i did down to the collectible event items that i may not get again by wiping

[willow tinsel]

But I'll be honest, i just want the all white prestige wall in hideout

[gentle pulsar]

like i said, i dont dislike the entire idea

[willow tinsel]

Idc about sidequests if I'm going to prestige 6 times anyway, besides kappa

Even capturing outpost is just a waiting game, and return the favor is basically free

[gentle pulsar]

exactly, it sounds like a lot of time eating the same food but slightly seasoning it just a little different each time

thats again why i said i dont feel like the stories have enough depth to warrant a full wipe, and the 5% keep skills is laughable and honestly wouldnt even be felt if they removed it entirely

even if majority of side quests arent required or wtv im not sure

its just not appealing to have all of the shit i worked for to get deleted and in turn i get a fraction of my skills, a cute little shirt- maybe some hideout paint if im lucky

annnd the option to play the game again (which pve isnt really known for its difficulty anyways)

dunno, rant over.

[astral kindle]

Almost every sidequest completed again and lvl 65, reaching to point of tarkov of "nothing to do anymore"

So i'd prestige my character instantly when it gets added

[pseudo kayak]

okay nvm im ass with tc ap somehow

[gentle pulsar]

for what? prestiging because you're bored there's nothing to do rather than using your invested time to make something new to do?

i mean its your choice ofc

i will too if they made it more worth

[willow tinsel]

But what are they gonna do tho

[astral kindle]

Well, starting from fresh gives reason to play

[willow tinsel]

What else do you want them to do

[astral kindle]

It was same with 1.0 for me, every side quest completed, all practical skills elite'd etc

Wiping profile gave reason to play

[south cobalt]

are the gps amplifiers useless when u already have one?

[gentle pulsar]

try different things, run kits that are unusual and try to do things out of the ordinary?

pve is basically our tarkov sandbox, you could go through the fun of trying to kill bosses with the shittiest guns or do a no armor challenge

[astral kindle]

Yup

[gentle pulsar]

i pretty often run ironsights on guns because they are never, ever used

you can only really do that in pve

[willow tinsel]

Not entirely

You can use them to craft stuff for your upcoming 15 reap ir quest

[astral kindle]

If they have done LK's spotter quest

[gentle pulsar]

shit, if you really wanna make it fun
wipe your acc, delete your secure container, and dont use fleamarket

whole diff game

[distant obsidian]

or just break them down to micros and craft ledx

[willow tinsel]

It can be done with a wiped account aswell

[south cobalt]

i have a stockpile of the microcontroller boards

[willow tinsel]

Well, up to you, keep to craft stuff or sell

[gentle pulsar]

that much is obvious, but you're less likely to do it when you cant buy good armor or good ammo

besides, it doesnt take an insane kit to reliably survive multiple raids

[willow tinsel]

Yea

So, there's no problem

[gentle pulsar]

sure, however you wanna think of it
i still view it as pointless beyond saying "i did this"

[willow tinsel]

I wanna say I did this

But let's see how they implement it into pve

[gentle pulsar]

i guess my biggest dislike is that

when you play with the thought of wiping multiple times

it makes you kinda play the game differently

faster you can prestige, less time it'd take you

but at LEAST the skills gotta be changed man

5% like i said is a raw insult 😭

[willow tinsel]

Yes, we grinding kappa from the get go and run labs till the required level for prestige, put a shit bucket under my chair and we gud to go

[gentle pulsar]

i fucking hate that

[willow tinsel]

I will prove my ancestors my unbroken will

Which is mostly corn farmers

[rancid stream]

is it worth keeping or selling my ledxs their both not found in raid

[willow tinsel]

Keep it if u wanna barter for thicc case eventually, or sell if u don't care about stash

[rancid stream]

how many do i need for a thicc case

[willow tinsel]

15

[rancid stream]

damn

i might just keep them i pulled both of them in the same raid out of the ultra medical key

[willow tinsel]

15 defibs, 15 toothpaste, 15 ledx, or something like that

[trail sail]

Is ledx barter or moonshine barter more worth it

Or is it the other one peacekeeper has

[willow tinsel]

Led more worth

The one pk has is good too

Since its relatively easy to get all that by just playing

[rancid stream]

what are the best traders to grind out

[willow tinsel]

50 moonshine tho? Sux

[lethal garnet]

just craft them

the second you get the moonshine unit thing just start spam crafting

[distant obsidian]

yeah, easy

[lethal garnet]

i had i think 70 before i could start using them for my scav junk box

[distant obsidian]

same, i had about 50 or so

[lethal garnet]

i have since prestiged and will be redoing this all

[willow tinsel]

I mean, I could also just use my moonshine on labrys key cards and sell the rest and get more money out of it than barter for thicc case

And use that money to buy the other barter

[distant obsidian]

easier to just run labs for money. But its pve, money is free

pve doesnt need an elaborate money making scheme, its literally just go into raid, look es lamp, loot metal part. Profit

[willow tinsel]

Oh yea I get that, but if I can save more money doing one thing than the other and its not just small money, I'll do it for sure

[distant obsidian]

time is more important then money imo

[willow tinsel]

But time is money

[distant obsidian]

yes, and I will not waste time, but I will waste money

[south cobalt]

just did the best hit of black ever, 3 bitcoins, blue keycard and intel
