Partizan had set like 10 trip wires for me on customs the other day, I started running through them at full speed, was lucky to find none were the reduced delay
alt f4 during a raid is breaking tos? will i get banned if my game crashes too then?
Cant wait for this event to be done , these pillagers are beyond cracked
Mate, i mentioned talking about explointing in here
Is that a thing now? Does the game just randomly decide "okay, time to take your stuff for no reason lmao"
fuck it I'm buying AK12 mags
Games been in beta for over a decade and was released not nsar completion , im not surprised by anything anymore
alr son im guessing if you're calling it an exploit then it still works
yes the devs are out for you watch where you walk at night might get a cultist attackin you
Fuck man I'll believe it.
I'm a forgetful guy but I'm not that forgetful.
Oh, hold on a sec, there's four 6L31s in my mag case where the 6L23s should be?
But I don't use the sixty-rounders?
seriously when the FUCK is this event gonna end
The 20th
im getting sniped from the fucking ziptie extract by these fucks
00:00 and i lost half my frontal plate's durability
im just hunting te pillagers for sport at this point
Yea it works, it’s local that’s just how it works, if you don’t finish the raid via interruption you don’t gain or lose anything, like it never happened.
As far as an exploit I’ve yet to see someone official say it was so just ignore random blue people being dramatic over what you chose to do in a non PvP/solo game mode. Remember a lot of people here are within a wide range of ages/emotional maturity, some people have crap days or lives and come in here to power trip.
whats up with the trolls jumping into VC's today just to spout off some bull crap
Idiots being idiots, tale as old as time
thx man
anything for you
dude wtf knight rushed me all the way at tunnel on lighthouse
Nice, dying for the first time in I don't know how many raids cause the game crashes
Wasted FLIR
The 6 tube one?
no an fn40
not too big of a loss, you can barter them for ~250k from mechanic once you’ve completed one of the gunsmith tasks i believe
I don't care about the monetary value, I got a few hundred million
I care about the game crashing upon loading into a raid and me dying while loading back in
yeah it’s always annoying
went to lighthouse to get the intel folder, ended up killing half the rogues with my knife
i hate found in raid ngl
i cant get network provider part 1 done
EC refuse to spawn. and that cofdom thing doesnt exist
ok how am I supposed to farm cultists, should I just immediatly run to their spawn on customs and extract if they are not there or wait in their area for them to spawn?
slowly start to think that I was being gaslit and those cultists don't exist
i kept running to customs to get them at fortress. but they can be anywhere around there.
If you notice a lack of scavs that means they might be there
when customs was wrong time i went night factory.
bring a decent amount of nades to get them to move. you wont hear them but you might see em.
I just witnessed shturmann teleport away and i have no fucking idea where he went. Can't have jack shit in tarkov man
Cultist circle is your best help
been running them. never really find many marked keys.
which scav base? the one on woods in the bunker?
oh that thing. i never get anything from that.
also never really know what to throw in there
it always gives me the fucking ragman items
I just keep finding COFDMs from merin and rb-pkpts
Whats your LL with Peacekeeper?
If you can buy them you can use 2 Silenced MPX, and if your LL with him is 4 then you can use 1 SAS to barter for a Thor-IC and sacrifice that
how do i do sew it good 2 solo
Exploding barrels in customs/labs
Be close enough to damage but far enough not to die
how close is too close
Trial and error
ehhh
ok
Go into practice raid to test
can the cultists spawn in during a night raid or will they never appear if they aren't there at the start of a raid?
lol, the new skit with the siege mode btr
speaking of
i recently discovered there is an arctic camo BTR at the scav camp on inter
how long has that been there?
can ammo packs be discarded in raid?
ffs.. usually fighting 1 group of Pillagers on Customs and maybe Reshala, but this time I fought both groups of Pillagers... then guess what, the f Goons... killed both and died to Birdeye
Probably why the Fortress Pillagers were only 2 🤔
Some can a lot won't same for individual bullets
They spawn in waves they can spawn at any time during the night between 23:00 and 06:00
IF you're referring to the actual ammo boxes, they're just deleted upon unpacking the bullets
like I want to drop my buddy a pack of 120 bp 545. It doesn't say "cannot be discarded in raid"
max traders
If inspect menu don't say that, then you should be able to drop it to friend
also why can i only sell 5 gold neck chains at a time on flea like tf
Some items got limit how many you can sell which is annoying
yea i know that
been playing for years. but why is 5 the limit on neck chains
this anti RMT shit for pve is so dumb. It just fucks over normal people
Yea just barter for a Thor IC from peacekeeper
will def try in 14 hours when the circle is done
just lost a rusted bloody key cause the game dcd me for no reason and i cant load back in
1.0 game btw
crazy how a fully released game charging 250 dollars for a copy of it still has basic stability issues
development of 10 years btw
and i feel like pve should be a bit easier to work on tbh
but thats just me and my radical opinions
it was fine up until a week ago
servers been on fire since then
i cant with these devs anymore man ive lost all hope
im gonna go play spt fuck this
where 1 dev creates content of greater quantity and quality than several dozen
Considering the mods position towards that thing I will say it was nice knowing ya, and best of luck to you
idc man
needs to be said
need to get it off my chest
its an open secret anyway
Hey im not judging you
Crazy that it's a thing for 9 years and you still paid 250$ for that.
I can sell you a rotten tomatoe btw.. will make a real deal just for you
i didnt
Clever
Despite some bs being frustrating... when the game works as intended, it's a really good one. Worth all the $50+$20 it cost.
yea. I just wish it worked better.
caught lightning in a bottle that keeps bringing me back but the same shit pushes me away
yeah thats the problem
Gunplay and immersion is hard to beat IMO.
the gameplay is unmatched, the immersion is best in class and the feature set is amazing
but the execution is absolute putrid dogshit
my dead grandmother could create a more stable and functional product than bsg
i expect beta and alpha products to have issues and technical problems, not a fully released game that has been in development for 10 years
dont underestimate her
The amount of features, mechanics and details are for sure an issue on their own.
A good example could be Bohemia's Interactive (Arma)... they are a sub studio of Bohemia's Simulation... that creates full scal Earth milsim simulation and more for governements... how's the little Arma is so buggy then, right ?
im excited for road to vostok, that game looks really promising
plus it's made by a single dude which is quite impressive
me 2, i'm waiting for a little bit more of content and progression so i can devote more time to it
i can't wait for the modding scene to properly take off too
can scav kill the new event mask dude?
That reminds me Nikita recently confirmed modding is still planned for tarkov, but no release window for it (as usual)
My bet is earliest 2028
I checked woods bsg servers and it put me into a local game
Yeah I'm not going to hold my breath LOL
tarkov 2.0
guys, whats wrong with the game right now? launcher is starting slow, game needs like one minute to even start. cant get into the menu and even if, traders are loading suuuper slow, cant buy anything from flea cause its also slow loading. playing for 4k hours, have some friends from different regions in germany and everyone has the same problem
having this issiue every evening for a couple of days now. during the day, everything is fine
Idk no issues here
i dont have that issue. i have tarkov open from 0600-1500 CST and when im able to from 2100-0000 CST with no similar experience
been having the exact same issue right now
so far the common denominator is europe
any idea when the new arena season will drop after the event?
Has anyone else noticed a change in the spawn rates for the blue drill lately?
I’m currently level 28 and completely stuck on hideout progression because I still can’t find one. I’ve been hitting all the usual spots—Factory, Interchange, Ground Zero—running both scav and PMC, and checking everything (toolboxes, filing cabinets, bags, boxes, loose loot spawns) over and over.
Still sitting here with a Level 1 Workbench and Lavatory 😅
Curious if this is just brutal RNG on my end or if others are running into the same issue?
are you loot-grinding? or just checking places you've found them before
both
Most likely dropping at 20th
welp, RIP in the peps
a lot of ppl have a hard time finding blue drill when actually needed. just keep going. one will pop up. most likely in a marked room lol
looks like we stay the only ones until a new update breaks more like its used to be xD
Thank you for the encouragement. Its been 100+ hours of searching and its starting to seem unobtainium.
do u happen to have vodafone as your current network provider? ive seen some posts about vodafone being the issue
nope, telekom. did all the problem solving things everyone keeps telling. restart router, cache, game files and and and....
??event
Upcoming new battle pass "celebration" event!
Accept task Short on Hands (Skier) and Casus belli (Ref) to get started.
yea i did all those things aswell. Seems like using a vpn has resolved my issue tho
even if we manage to queue up, i get and matching error with something cant be null bullshit
For me it was only loading out of a raid and menu. i didnt have any problems what so ever in raid
had a backend error mid raid yesterday evening 😄 needless to say that i didnt get any loot after the raid 😄
weird.
yeah, with bsg you get new bugs from day to day xDD
mfw im farming the reserve bunkers and hitting every file cabnet and cdant find a electrinc comp
Search PCs
im hitting the pcs that are here too
Also tech spawns on Interchange
if its still a feature - if you have the quest then the items needed dont spawn that frequently as they are used to. its for years like that
yea people say thats not a real feature but it definitly fucking is
Definitely take advantage of your Cultist Circle if you have it
im sure nikita said that years ago
i have max hideout
labyrinth has many of them
go reserve into the locked room underground. dont know the name right now
when youre done with it, the radio thing will spawn everywhere for you 😄
yup
PKPTS? COFDMs don't spawn there, IDC what the wiki says... I burnt 4 of those keys looking for one and ended up getting all mine from CC 🤣
hk,m4,mcx any many other high rpm guns with good ammo can cheese the labrys easly solo
i keep getting almost nothing from pkpts
i pulled 2 from there a few nights ago
i have the model 1. but i need better 556 ammo
i found mine and all of my buddys there. took 3 or 4 keys but we found them all there. labs didnt get us a single one
on the way in they were all like oOooOoo lets see the magical double spawn oh mr magical cofdm man
labs is the richest empty map in the game
like everyone says everything is there but nothing ever is
go labs - red, dark by res unit will get you much ammo
yea i have yet to ever see one in labs
i have a rusted bloody key i want to use. but i know nothing will spawn in that room
would love if it gave me a marked or two
You're currently getting nothing having it rotting in your stash
bad rng gues my last 2 rusted gave me tons a good key
save it for helping some noob with the door. then there will be marked keys
marked rooms are a55... for me i dont get the money out of the room
use it to place the cameras ^^
btw did you guys encounter the cultist during night time on custom ?
found my first key at lvl 48 on a scav.....
they are spooky
ive heard good things about chek 15/iron gate having cofdms
thats been known to happen
i see
asked cause while we have event thought maybe reduce to their spawn chance
is the mask guys event still going? thought it was over today
will end on 20th
oh, okay
nah they dont interfere with boss spawns. ive emcountered them with reshala and goons several times
ah i see thought tht pillagers dude had effect on it,good thn
Why would you think that
its not an irrational thought process
Assumption is the mother of all evil
dunno thought maybe its event thing and yes encountered thm after fought against goons and reshala

lmao assumptions keeps me cautious tho 
Is there a way to get the Reshala figurine from the cultist circle?
i asked the ai assistant embedded in my toaster n he says no
I got all my COFDMs from there so...
It was also mostly a joke, so...
Very funny

what is CC
sigh
cultist circle
my favorite eft game is the one where they're pmcs
Is anyone else having issues with the Transits?
ah yeah, that tracks. thanks @jovial cobalt
i also got my needed cofdm's from CC, except 1 im still missing.
i sacrificed a G28, got a THOR, did that, and got a damn SAS..... which i bartered for another THOR and sent it packing
why does killas door take 80+ seconds to extract now ? 🤣
2x pipe grip wrench 3x diary, thank me later
ill grip your pipe if it gives me a COFDM

dude im so mad that there's not even a reference to ghost in eft aside from that one dude i forget his name
goons or something? street kids? i forget
There's a quest where you need to stash a moonshine in it
So they gave you more time
2 mil just from Taigas and RedRebels this raid, Reserve marked rooms be providing
but you dont need to close the door and thus trigger the extract to place the moonshine right?
Idk I've never done the quest before
It's not needed but it makes the most sense to use that extract
idk man . thats one of the longest wait timer ever and there no way to harm anyone inside once you trigger the extract and close the door. you are just stuck waiting in a sealed room with the boys for +80 seconds.
I'm not seeing a issue?
if you cant see the issue then there no point in explaining it to you . i appreciate the info
Okay lmao
anyone else running into the issue of not loading in to Reserve, specifically after transiting from woods?
Are you tabbing in and out of the transit screen while loading the map?
ironically this time I did not, usually I do
So it happens regardless?
yes 3 times in a row, once with tabbing out and twice with staying in screen, alt f4 does nothing and just gets me stuck in awaiting session start'
Can't really say I have since I rarely transit
nice, i just got the hobby quest line too
so are you trying to transit in to the map or what?
yes from customs usually
Hell yeah dude
Im soon to be high enough level for it, so excited to kill zyrachi on repeat
What is the best map for test drive pt.1
yea got mine yesterday waiting for the ak-50 body 26 hour craft...
Gz imo
any or just factory for fast raids
Is the green flare on customs bugged? 3rd time in a row it doesnt work now for a friend and I.
Did you shoot it correctly
Yas
Are you shooting it upwards? It has a height requirement
I'm shooting it correctly.
Are you shooting it where message appears and are both of you running on tracks?
Wasnt an issue before the pillager event :P we usually take that extract
Now we cant extract there anymore
I’ve taken it during this event
Flare been working fine for me and multiple friends
Don’t blame it on the event
Well all im saying is that before the event it worked completely fine :P
I used it all this time so seems like skill issue
Yet another bug to the list! :D
Isn’t a bug
You probably shot it wrong and just realized
And now your embarrassed to admit it
Or its just a bug :P it happens
customs flare extract is very specific
Usually bugs affect more than one person
you cant be down the hill next to the train tracks when you fire it, even if it says signal flare zone
"usually" yep :P its ok, we'll just wait for them to fix it.
Oh fuck off tarkov, forgot huntsman path - relentless reset on death.. Only had Glukhar left when I loaded into Reserve and crashed and died while loading in earlier
Sounds good 👍
i sent multiple videos to support and they said it's not bugged
👍
👌
lol
so salty haha :D
?
How is that salty?
Oh yes how did I forget
You would love my pfp
anyone got any ideas when that new map and event will begin?
within the next 3 months is my guess
how do you do this. emoji big or do u need nitro ^

Sticker by itself
anyone needing to learn labrynth? im down to help teach
ohhh
Hey guys, after reaching strengh elite. Should't my endurance start leveling up even with overweight? Or didn't work in this way anymore
No you still have to be underweight
you cant be overweight to level endurance
its crazy how people cant flare extract properly
lmao
i remember first time i used flare gun i shot it 45 degree angle
You gotta angle the shot correctly
ITS SO BUGGY!!!! bsg fix game
A tip for opening the flare extracts
pls dont lie
Just aim high, the flare needs a certain altitude to trigger the exfil
Being specific doesn't work here you just gotta make sure the flare flights up and foward enough
ive never missed a flare (and im really bad at this game) all you gotta do is aim up or aim a bit higher up w the pistol, and just dont do anything fancy like walk out of the flare zone or come at it from a weird angle
#screenshots message
is this too much keys or what yall think
its pve anyways, you dont gotta rat to the extract, you can just walk straight at it from the center
can i have some
niet
dude plans to supply whole player base haha
No youre poor
ill take that as a yes
damn.. guess i go cultist farming again....
you need more for sure
no means no man, tagilla learned that you can to
I dont think tagilla has the brain to learn anything
fair... he did take a vog-25 gl round to his head...
tagilla didnt stop when i said no (chasing me that is)
Nice to see more cultist farmers tho fr. I needta step up my game it seems
just put a vog-25 gernade launcher round into him, legs, chest, head, arms, dont matter it makes him rethink attacking you
I also love that like. Im not the only one who marked key farms for my homies lmao
i did so many night factory raids.... god it was annoying
how does one acquire a gl
big pipe
you can find them in various spots
depends want the russian or american versions
just want a gl
underbarrel gl you can get off pmc's and stuff, or random loot
random scavs//pillagers/partisan for the gp-25
big pipe, bartering, savior ending
Am I crazy or did they take down some of the Blue Fence on Interchange?
the UBGLs are easy to find, its the dedicated ones that are more strenuous to obtain
expansion
partizan had the vog-25 gl most of the time, or find it as loot, or the rotary or single shot gl from big pipe, or you can find the m4 one as loot
pamesan doesnt spawn
he does
local customs, almost always by dorms for me
saw him a day or two ago
yea i need to give local a try i think
damn i gotta upgrade my cpu if i want that gl
i need partisan for the achievement
gl, took me 50 raids to find him
local custom dorms
you can do server as well but ive found him more for whatever reason on customs
he likes to sit near the trashpile by car extract
can u only accept 1 lk quest at a time?
anyone need labyrinth help? last call for now before i do another raid
yes.... and?
dont piss that bozo off
i wouldnt say that when he has a cross hair on you...
how is there no option to blow up lk island yet
yeet lightkeeper off the balcony
krill issue question mark
shrimple as that
youre telling me a shrimp fried this rice?
the air fried those pork chops
So the new map will connect to Interchange.....Makes some sense since theres a alot of open map down there
star called sun is obtainable ? - Yep was removed
ok I think I got enough of the pillagers event, simply because I cannot find any bloody cultists
either they are way more stealthy on customs than I thought or the pillagers and goons just keep them away
Yes, they will also update the name of the game to TurCod
always around fortress, though ive seen some towards crack, inside mechanic, around the customs expansion in the middle between fortress and old gas/power switch, and below fortress and ontop of it
I mean I was kinda sarcastic, I was just hoping people might have idea what that teaser was about
The flying bugs looked like something from CoD zombies lol
It's a joke video just like the one with the rat eating a slickers
always just finding pillagers or the goons, sometimes reshalla
just trying to search through the area I get like 22 kills on everything
yeah it happens
bloody cursed, gonna try factory night till the custom times work
it was just a joke video about starcraft 2
zerg and siege tanks
just healing cause tagilla got me decently
the misery of low level pillager fighting is almost over
Oh fair enough haha
go to woods cultist bunker
i spent like 15 raids looking for him on lighthouse or customs and never saw him
first woods raid i went into the bunker and he immediately camped me outside
one of the worsts rusted blood keys i ever opened
i really loved it tbh got me a smile
seriously this sucks
i got ultra med. rb-bk then some other random keys. nothing super good.
wait wasn't it supposed to end on the 15th?
why are pillagers still around
20th now
kms
For reporting a Bug, what all do I need?
they are kinda annoying af on customs
Logs, picture or video of bug is recommended, and how to replicate bug
Thank you kindly
??br
kind of?
I've lost like 5 kits to them
yea i barely go there, might have to give it a try
its pretty easy to clear them from other side of the bridge and for stronghold its best to approach from old gas and clear them from behind the train
I'm just going in with a PM to go finish tigr safari
also that would be nice if I had something better than bloody FMJ
hell I can't even buy FMJ rn
oof, just refresh on fence for any 30 pen ammo and take a good scope to tap them from a far
cool
I'll consider dropped all my money for some sure
Night reduces AI spot range
is green keycard useless?
i'm done with this shit
More useful than blue
blue is not a keycard
bp s2 when
do you need some help???
sure
false
honestly all colored keycard are profitable if u survive
im NA east. you speak english?
im blue
yea
420
if i were green i would die
Is it at the Fortress? Yeah, They won't go over there during the event
im in a pve duo channel
I'm doing tigr safari
my main problem with the pillagers is that ive killed 50+ and took maybe 2 pieces of gear
idk if im just unlucky but they always have nothing worth taking
the nades are nice
regular pmcs have so many nades on them
yea. but more never hurt
i probably use atleast 4 to 6 nades a raid
same i still extract with 10 new nades
bruh
not a single pmc on this factory raid
They should definitely add modifiers to the game, so you can chose higher difficulty adding more PMCs / boss / Scavs and better loot
Give more random events in the world
Scav horde, BD at night, bosses meet up (like 2 bosses meeting to make a deal)
black divisíon would be dope ngl
factsss
There is so much that would make the game so much more alive
The airdrops was a nice little addition, but we need MORE
for pve they could at least improve the pmc ai
would be nice if the ai pmcs had at least some "goal" in the raid not just standing around their spawn
100%
currently they are just better scavs imo
even raiders have better ai than the pmcs, ive seen a group of 4 lose to 2 scavs
obviously they can make better ai like with raiders, bd and even the pillagers idk why they lobotomised the pmcs
imagine if the train on reserve could bring rogues/goons n they would like hunt down gluhar
or vice versa
or like if there was one random daytime cultist wandering around on a map
maybe raiders could go to all maps to high loot areas
Regardless, one can only dream at this point. If anything, throw up that suggestion on the suggestions site and hopefully it takes root
the ai is probably the same but aggression is just turned up for raiders+they can hit your head, same w pillagers, pmc's used to be aggressive like that iirc but they turned it down
lol they lobotomized the pmcs
giving them some better gear as they level would be good, or let them even do quests like in that ai mod
or at least be able to press buttons
omg if they could just turn on the fuckin power on interchange i would be so happy
iirc they cant even extract or try to extract from places like lab+can only do armored train extract on reserve, because they cant activate anything
better gear would be fantastic, im tired of mdrs with warmage and mp5s with m882
the gear could scale with your level or something
yea some more logical gear choices would be nice. shotgun pmcs on reserve make no sense
ive honestly never seen a pmc with tier 6 plates or a meta gun
and they should have more options for healing and grenades and shit
srsly ? they can spawn with thors etc
you do see some w t6 like slicks but you hardly notice
or hexgrids zabralos and so on
its rare af tho. its always the mbss or some garbage with t3-4 plates
then im just unlucky im lvl 33 and found 4 tier 6 plates not even on pmcs the whole time
man if ur starving for plates just farm tagilla
they could just take random pmc loadouts from pvp and use them
i would love undergeared pmcs and also some absolute chads
just add some variety
Some spawn in with pistols
why is this game's desync so ass?
ive had the same 2 plates since lvl 2
are these servers hosted in ethiopia?
yes
which servers do you play ?
finally
US W
arena
scav junkbox gettin built
Nice
okay NA i dont know, i play EUW and its fine :/
Playing arena is why you are having issues
Arena is fun
playing arena is causing me issues
it is
It solves the itch I get if I wanna pvp
If you wanted to play shitty cod...play cod
Why not just don't judge what people play and enjoy?
25 loss streak on checkpoint destroyed my soul
that
arena would be fine if it wasn't for the shitty spaghetti code
if I was any good at the game, arena would be fun, but I can barely play pve
Arena is a way to practice
You can't expect to be good at something if you don't practice
I can't just buy a piano and play like Mozart or Beethoven
oh yea I know, ive got ref 4, I 'practice' a lot (aka die a lot)
This would fix tarkov let alone arena
real
Not really
if arena just didn't have that abysmal quest requirement to transfer stuff over
I would be okay with it
I can do dailies
I'm bad at arena, but I can do em
but getting two wins, at third place is very difficult for me
and since I can't actually transfer stuff until I do it
I just don't play arena
because it gives me nothing of value
the 8 ball helmet and the head eyes vest is all I care about from arena
gives you experience and skill xp
im trying to do arena to grind xp for pvp
Only thing I like about it is that I can pvp without worrying
pretty much gotta make the shit netcode work in your favor
Tarkov wouldn't be tarkov without someone complaining about it
and then they play 1k more hours
anyone's game crashing on the way back to stash?
game was a bit slow today yea
thats like half the gameplay
I rarely complain about it
I just accept that games will have bugs
then you arent playing it right
pillagers are stronger than goons or something
actually have to think when i fight them

thats too much thinking for me
at stronghold customs they've been a real threat sometimes
It was fun fighting both sametime while they ignored each others
idk if its because im playing on local but the pillagers have never given me much trouble, at most they blacked out my arm
i feel like it kinda depends on the area they spawn
if its somewhere like stronghold you have a lot of hard cover so its ez to fight them compared to like
the strip of trees in front of interchange where i have like no cover
i had to lay down in a hole
Same with server for me, only thing they are just way too accurate and mostly blacking limbs, otherwise no threat
havent gone interchange the whole event, only fought them on shoreline, customs and lighthouse
shoreline scav island is the easiest
they dont even react and you cant snipe them from pier
Pillagers are sketchy when closer than 200 m
But I agree, shoreline scav Island is the easiest to fight them, they just stand there out in the open like 🗿
all tarkov ai is sketchy, sometimes u get laser beamed from 200m and sometimes u stand 5m away and they dont see you
Prapor wants me to kill cultists on Woods with a cut-down twin-twelve gauge. What's the best ammo for the job?
they just took it like good boys
customs
any ammo
And sometimes AI PMCs lock in and 'nade you ~30 seconds into the match.
I've seen this happen twice.
I thought it had to be Woods, must be misremembering.
same with bosses, sometimes they come one by one and sometimes they rush you from all sides at once while nading you
any map
Killa is such a good example too, sometimes he eats your limbs and finishes you off, sometimes he gets stuck on a corner
I see. It was the "Can't even take a shit in the woods at night!" line from the quest's flavor text that threw me off.
Because they spawn around sawmill and old village probably
impossible. killa doesnt spawn on woods
i wont tolerate woods slander
top 3 map
Woods just has so many spots with NOTHING
me using space lasers to burn woods to the ground
Woods isn't even that bad
Except when you're doing return the favor
worst boss and worse quests
Woods is just... I don't like it 🙁
And then helping it to friend after doing your own 
Now guys
Throw me into any urban environment, I'll be fine
I don't like Woods either. Too many sightlines. Shturman locks down the sawmill area too, with his magic burst-fire SVD.
even shitter born on woods was horrible. return the favor is a crime against humanity
shturman is probably my favourite boss to fight
Honestly SBIH wasn't that bad this wipe due marlin, it was actually enjoyable quest for me
roughly 80 % of my 2300 hours---
and the poster boy of eft
Honestly a blessing
woods would be fun if it had double the scavs and pmc's on it
I'm just waiting until I unlock the good ammo for the Marlin, it'll be open season then.
As soon as the pillagers are gone every ammo is free game I feel like
.308 ME LOKT only has 24 pen. Granted, it also hits like a brick shot out of a cannon, given that it deals 96 damage, but if any PMCs are wearing helmets I won't be able to crack their armor.
aim for the face

sub 30 pen ammo is never worth using
Yeah, i was kinda sad that it had own rounds and couldn't use M61
But it would been way too OP
So, starting in Version 1, I got max lv Metabolism and crafting now...
Question for y'all
Do you prefer playing with set people or with randoms? Or completely solo?
most fun i had playing tarkov was with a stable friend group
I used to play with a friend, but im 90% solo now, I want to do coop w randoms but im too cringe rn
I always prefer friends, I don't care if I don't get much loot, I just wanna chill with some folks
White flare is just to make light? No utility on this? Wiki just states it's brigtness
anything cool that can be done with it?
If there was another function, wiki would've stated it
ngl I could use some tarkov friends
if i want to make progression on my character i prefer solo since i can do exactly what i need to do task wise
playing with a groupcan be more fun but i generally get less done since i play more chilled out in that case
A lot of the folks I used to play with previous gave me an aneurysm with how they played. Looting in the open without checking the area, standing in the open without cover, etc etc
only the green, red and acid green flares have a use
They always wondered how they died...
Wasn't blue also a thing? One of them called the rogues in to be your friend, no?
yellow for few quests too.
blue calls mortar
oof. Nowadays paranoia just eats me when I try to loot
blue is the one for mortar strike?
Ah, wrong one then
yeah but does it do anything outside of the quests?
damn ive never heard of a mortar strike in tarkov
there is special yellow that calls an airdrop
but iirc thats really just for one quest, idk if you can find them outside of that quest
and apparently those mortar strikes are just to cause a panic, ive never used them but they dont seem very deadly
oop
I miss random mortars
to be honest i do not in the slightest
man game is weird today, two transits in a row where anything i bring across maps disappears from my inventory and xp after raid is all messed up
Same
People can call them still.
And terminal got few places where mortar drops but its easy to dodge those areas
If we are talking about 'the eye' of course
Yeah the eye
finally found night factory culties
again, and actually dropped the priest before he fragged himself
who tf is Lis, i just got blown up on reserve
Raider
do raiders have grenade launchers?
does the rpk 16 count as a lmg?
Yes
thanks
if I load like fmj in my rpk, get as many hitcounts on a target as possible, would that upgrade my lmg skill level more than using high damage and high pen ammo?
if it means you get more hits per enemy with the shitty ammo then ye
excellent thanks
i love doing required search on toilet paper, and then seeing the 30mm scope mount barter for orthodontox and not toilet paper
1.0 ready
where does the Pillagers spawn at on Lighthouse?
If you want to get mastery play arena
in the middle of the road in front of the usec cottage kinda
eh...
Thank you kindly
np!
I have 2 levels for the story quest
I have most of my mastery from it
Has there ever been a 100% Rouge Spawn event?
no.
For more previous event information, please refer to this: https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Events
There needs to be, need to get this mission done
rogue invasion when
Typically 2-5 rogues spawn. If you don't see any on the guns, mostly likely wandering around. Keep pulling that slot machine lever.
Also, Drip out isn't required for anything. You'll finish it when you finish it
I was wondering is being on local vs bag servers change boss spawn rate
no
no.
I know, just been bothering me, that every time I've been to Lighthouse, they aren't there, or I only find the one
I'd take one per raid, progress ir progress
100raids lol
you'll complete it when you complete it
Any recs for getting pmc to spawn at dorms on customs?
Get lucky
I see pmcs at dorms quite often
Camp it for like 10 minutes they sometimes go in late
can this event end alr
extended until the 28th
Can regular scavs see in the dark?
ill extend you till the 28th 😭
Rush there, kill, extract, repeat ad naseum
Apply this to any PMC kill task and pray.
Can cultists see in the dark?
Every AI can
So new arena season is in may 💀
what the fuck
They have smaller detection radius, but the moment they're aggroed, they'll fight like normal
No reduced accuracy because of the dark?
Cannot confirm
Preciate
Preciate
pve
nope
its still the same circle that narrows
Right. Well, I have to kill a handful for Hell on Earth part 2, so I guess I'll get mysef a nice pair of NODs and run Factory.
wdym
So, are we ever gonna get some future quests that lean more into the supernatural side of things?
I mean, we've already got somehow cold-blooded cultists running around, so that ship has sailed.
terragroups stims are literally the only thing you can use as an arguement for "supernatural" stuff
which terragroup is a shady scientific company to begin with
as far as anything beyond a super drug stim
dont think it'd happen

Cultists are just cold-blooded. I don't think this is a terragroup stimms thing
sj9 effect
he doesn't know
They commonly have the stims on them lol
cultists are stim users 😭
...uh huh
brother does not read lore
i thought that they were lab rats like tagilla by terragroups
What lore? I haven't found anything mentioning cultists yet, I still have to "Go to a place related to the Eye of the World"
tagilla is a drug addict
not a drug lab rat
that much is clear
cultists use terragroup products
and cultists are hinted at testing their untested stims
hence why they are cold blooded
You know, I'm not a biologist, but wouldn't that... kill you?
i dont think so
hes just a chronic drug addict
thats why he breathes so heavy in game
you can hear him through solid concrete walls
could be wrong tho
I know Sanitar's an ex-TG employee
The item desc. for the Obdolbos 2 mentions him by name, specifically, as having created it.
he created both im pretty sure
That would make sense.
sanitar is also a huge druggie lmfao
and thats post TG fall iirc too
The first Obdolbos was just a proof of concept, the Obdolbos 2 was the "perfected" version of the formula. Well, as perfect as the Obdolbos can be.
Oh, I have no doubt about it. You can see him using stimms on a loading screen.
He lives and breathes stims
human testing does work what can one say
Yeah, I bet, especially when you've got so many PMCs running about jamming themselves with chemical injectors they pulled off of corpses.
I imagine the way Sanitar developed the Obdolbos-2 was via trial and error, kidnapping people or just leaving them around Shoreline for scavs to find and taking notes.
Question is how does our PMC know what they do just by inspecting
They read the label.
around what lvl do you unlock proper?
dont you start with him
From progressing main story, not level
you start with therapist and ragman
oh
how does pve progression for ai work?
depends what they inspect. Gun wise, the jams coming to mind rn make sense.
what about them
theres progression?
there is none
Pmc gear doesn't change
i mean, usec PMCs atleast worked and protected terragroup so theyve probably been introduced to those stims
its just random
random pre sets
why adars?
"Local took Obdolbos 1.2 at approx. 13:47. Exhibited enhanced strength and combat effectiveness for ~15 minutes before vomiting approx. 5,000mL of blood and dying. Will have to adjust the formula..."
sup tyreal and estonian hole in hand man
their gear is not dependant on your own level or anythin
sup
True
sup cuhh
so from raid 1 there will be some chad kits and some noob kits n itll stay like that?
then why did you say adars if you didnt mean adars?
i dont get it
Yeah pretty much
i didnt realise i had to perfectly explain something so the 0.1% could understand
people just be saying shit for the sake of saying shit
no you dont. But you have tyo say what you mean to so other people understand
cheers boss!
made sense to me
you are the only one who didnt understand
made 0 sense to me
yes, just like pvp more or less
made 67 sense to u
They mostly use trash ammo PS and FMJ and the like, but if you find one with an MP7, they're usually using FMJ SX, which has 40 pen, so be sure to check.
i didnt. Prolly cuz its 4:25 AM
you speak english because its the only language you speak, i speak english because its the only language you speakk
WOH whyt cant I ping taco
tuff
fuckin chad
thank you brother
@marsh wing 
weird assumption to make
@marsh wing restrain your dog
Sorry sorry
GRRR
embed fail GGs
Get back in the DM's where you belong
So I'm reading back on this, and I don't understand
- aura
so sad
not a fuckin clue
Are you saying if there was no AI progression, they only have ADARs?
im asking if they have progression or if they all use the same generic shit
pmcs just pick from a select of preset kits
Im using a knight 762x51
see how it is friend
they have raider kits
They use random presets from a PMC kit pool.
no, its a pmc pool
yeah, we are past this
its like the slam poetry the US is doing. Random asf
should probably address her as one
its been explained many times already
Okay, what's next on the questions list
no kidding
if they use kits, they dont have progression
you're talking about them getting better gear based on level
that basically doesnt exist pr sure
@jovial cobalt bite this man
bet
haha
brain eating bacteria would starve in some of your guys heads
He only bites when i tell him to

well its more or less the same but with some added variation

Down dumb dragon
i feel like its something that 3 letter word players tend to know more about
since i knew exactly wat ya meant
they're still different specifications though..
i see way more diversity in pmc kits than raiders
kill like 8 raiders youve seen all the kit types
guess that means i wont need to worry about them
soo
it seems you are part of the 1% who can critical think
3 letter word player?
Rat cat
Old
unc
wut?
ahh i see
I have seen PMCs who use semi-decent ammo like BT
But nothing truly good. Not yet, anyway.
its a secret
and i already answered them
Damn I would like to know 🙁
monther fuckers he said 3 letter word for player. Not a 3 letter work for Tyrael
pmcs dont scale with level progression like that other version
To be fair, the connection from 'kit' to 'ADAR' was not exactly clear at first glance
that tracks
would an adar be part of a kit
you cant even track your own convo
alright unc
Serious answer: No
PMCs do not use ADARs
alright bro, turn yo pc off
Tyr is an unc? unreal :v
lmao
I have never seen a PMC with an ADAR.
correct. Pmcs do not use adars
I can't, at work
its a wonder you got a job unc
Also I don't think I have a reason to obey any command from you
yeah lol
Correct, I'm also an uncle
I identified as PMC
tf is going on
makes sense
me to
I use ADAR once
idk anymore but its funny now
coffin dodgers cannot comprehend or critical think
Not sure, he's trying to call us old and decrepid, but I don't think it's working
I'm a gramp but I have no kid so no grandkid
trying? i did call it you unc
no clue lol, im just watching invincible 

Shes trying to insult us by calling us old like MGK did to em. Like
goated show, latest ep was crazy
sure im old, but I am smarter then you.
im on S2E1
clearly not gang
havent watched yet
you in for a treat, aint gonna spoil
preciate it
At this point, I'm just watching the grave getting dug deeper
but yeah, so far so baller
O yeah
im sitting like dicaprio just snapping at the screen recognising the memes 
ok mini me
The best part? I didn't even do anything to agitate the lad/lass, I was just asking for clarification
mark, this is good news
yeah same
no one is agitated
AI PMCs also have shit durability guns for some reason.
we can finally be bees
BEEE
I can barely recognize any meme right now, guess Im too old for this
Then why are you calling us unc? Cause in our eyes, that sounds like an attempt to sound better than us
interesting, is that guarenteed?
Yeah pretty much
Like 75%-60% durability.
better then scavs after they changed it like a year ago
no, they can have close to max or even max too
Once saw a Spear with 96%
just last week
alright thats helpful, thx guys
I did not know that, I've never seen it.
If you're lucky, an AI pmc can unload into the ground at a scav, and run the durability of a gun dry, but it's still shooting
im debating whether or not to buy, im pvp main currently and idk how the ai or gear works for ai pmcs
but now i understand
this is a win, I can repair for free lol
thankyou
has anyone try Pragmata yet?
is playing Pragmata on the demo screens at work
somehow I envy ppl with children
max durability goes down when you repair items because mechanic is shit at his job
Not actually playing, but watching a no commentary vid
Get elite weapon maintenance, 50% chance not to wear down max dura
Naw, but MOUSE: P.I. For Hire released the other day and I've been playing that.
this is why I repair it myself
i dont like that pmcs almost always use the worst ammo ever
I got high chance of no dura burn cost
muh god
i will be exclusivley using weapon repair kits from now on
fuck you mechanic
you did not do it from the start?
Haven't found one.
oh damn that's gonna be a long grind for elite
It's not. It's about 20mil rubles
just buy 1 cheap weapon and armor repair kit
I'm only like
Level 20-something.
you can always refill those 2 bags in your hideout
