[vale atlas]

but you see them a lot

[unique vortex]

I just refuse to believe that this revered gawd creator would make a useless skill

and I've seen it work in action

[vale atlas]

Dont a bunch of them just not do anything?

or was it that some were just glitched, i cant remember these are vaguely remeembered complaints from others lol

[timid tendon]

I have been hanging with a buddy spotting for him on reserve dome as he has a few quests for long range kills, and it's crazy the amount of times over about 10-12 raids where we've found a lone glukhar guard wandering alone

within the same match he'll kill one at helicopter and then one near white knight shortly after as one example

[shrewd lynx]

i just think it's weird for the guy with no armor who's AI used to be >me sit in corner and have my 6 guards protect me

[timid tendon]

I've definitely noticed the glukhar guards roam weirdly like that

also reshala's too, but with less frequency - not sure if pillagers spawned and killed him but we've seen odd things like 2 sets of 2 guards roaming near crackhouse by themself and no reshala
or reshala himself rushing solo fortress -> RUAF exil in the first 2 mins of a match

[shrewd lynx]

suddenly turn into a >i smell a living entity in the proximity of this map, im gonna run them down like a animal

like just turn his squad into 6 of the scouts at that point and see what happens would be funny to watch from the sideline

[shrewd lynx]

I've been seeing reshala AI in places i've never seen him roam too recently

[gusty pollen]

how long does it take to get items you transferred to your stash in transit?

[shrewd lynx]

dorms and they were at bus stop just chilling in the open

[timid tendon]

1 hour iirc

[gusty pollen]

thanks

[timid tendon]

sometimes they deathball lmao: #screenshots message

[carmine lantern]

thats why I bring my emotional support grenade launcher

[shrewd lynx]

thats a cursed sight lmao

[willow tinsel]

nah thats the best sight, dont talk like that about my Razor

[west sigil]

I got a Lighthouse key out of a sacrifice, but it isn't a marked key?

It's the "Radar station commandant room key"

[jovial cobalt]

i think for one of the buildings on lk island?

[halcyon yarrow]

damn i thought they fixed the 100k use key glitch

just saw another one a couple minutes ago on flea

shouldnt that be an insta ban if it gets listed

[west sigil]

So, useless for another ~50 hours or so. Bummer.

those are old

atp

[tight wigeon]

today's patch is not 0.5 right? ive seen some claims that it is

[valid obsidian]

0.5?

[tight wigeon]

the icebreaker

or somethinmg

[valid obsidian]

i think we'd know

or are you talking about tomorrows

[odd gale]

It says 1.4.5

Something like that

Look at announcements

[jovial cobalt]

we dont know if icebreaker is coming with this patch right

but s2 arena is confirmed with arena 0.5.0 ?

[valid obsidian]

right

[tight wigeon]

right but i've seen people claiming that this patch also includes the 1.0.5

[valid obsidian]

and by we i mean I

idk

[tight wigeon]

i guess they are just trolling

[odd gale]

#eft-announcements

It says what patch it is

[tight wigeon]

yes i can see that

and im not questioning that in particular

[pseudo kayak]

is pest control easy or is it gonna be another goddamn capturing outposts case

[torpid bluff]

pest control can be easy and can be screwy, depending on npc spawns

[carmine lantern]

its tarkov, like 70% of people giving info are trolling

[timid tendon]

pest control is easy in the sense you're gated by rng so either camp it and make noise or just visit it and clear every time you're nearby doing other quests

[pseudo kayak]

how bad of rng, capturing outposts rng or

[young frost]

its probably easy af. i dont even remember doing it

[pseudo kayak]

ah i see tagged and cursed

also um for colleagues pt 3 or sadist does it matter which one i do for kappa

[young frost]

i dont think tagged n cursed is a thing in pve

sadist is the obviously superior choice

[timid tendon]

nothing has come close to capturing outposts so far

[young frost]

return the favor is arguably worse due to actually useful stuff being locked behind it

[timid tendon]

rtf is definitely rank 2 but once i had a good route going from like 7 oclock -> 12 oclock on the mountain perimeter i got it done in like 3 raids

would get 2~ groups of 2-3 each run running back and forth on that

[pseudo kayak]

wait huh?

[pseudo kayak]

why tho

I did colleagues pt 3 cuz I have all the stuff available lol

[young frost]

much cheaper than forking over 10 labs cards

[odd gale]

You can craft them

[pseudo kayak]

oh I had a hoard of them crafted bc I went brazy in labs

[torpid bluff]

that was killing sanitar or the other choice, right?

[valid obsidian]

dude you can make 3 for 1 intel folder

[odd gale]

Sadist is killing him

[valid obsidian]

every like 45 minutes

[young frost]

the items used in the craft have value. the cards themselves also represent significant opportunity cost

[odd gale]

Also you get worse rewards

+16,300 EXP
Jaeger Rep +0.02
115,000 Roubles
120,750 Roubles with Intelligence Center Level 1
132,250 Roubles with Intelligence Center Level 2
1× Trijicon REAP-IR thermal scope
4× 12/70 AP-20 ammo pack (25 pcs)
2× Surv12 field surgical kit

[torpid bluff]

the stims and cards are what make it something to consider

Reap IR is important

[valid obsidian]

opportunity schmunity

the real cost is -0.1 jaeger rep

vs -0 for therapist

[young frost]

lol i completely forgot about that part

[torpid bluff]

Oh yes that hurts too.

[timid tendon]

930m headshot on a rogue

[torpid bluff]

dayum

[timid tendon]

was just spotting for a mate killing pmcs for his lk quests and I saw a potential angle on the hill above tunnel - had lucky LOS to the HMG gunner on building 1 front corner like perfectly inbetween the trees

[pseudo kayak]

wait was pest control included in the one patch note where they buffed the areas

[stiff scaffold]

this is the first time I see this bunker at one of tje sniper spots

is this bunker important?

[carmine lantern]

maybe but since its scavs it doesnt matter tbh, pest control is very shrimple

[pseudo kayak]

also do we know how many mags you can take in if ur tryna get tagged n cursed

base glock 17, no armor, nothing but the pistol

[timid tendon]

which bunker?

[carmine lantern]

im not really sure tagged and cursed works much in pve

at least for me, when I was doing that 'kill scavs w melee' I would go in with just a melee weapon and they would not aggro on me any more than normal

could have been that I misjudged something ofc

I also dont think mags have anything to do w tag/curse so bring in what you can

[torpid bluff]

I am pretty sure tagged and cursed was reworked at some point

[odd gale]

Automod got me guys

[odd gale]

Therapist gives the most rewards

[manic pewter]

Rip

[odd gale]

You also get a medicine case

[stiff scaffold]

one in the mountain where the sniper scav is at

it has cultist symbols and candles

outside of it a wooden crate and a tech supply crate

great spot to overlook the sawmill and it helped me get hunting trip done

[timid tendon]

ah that, iirc I believe it's for a LK quest (you have to tag it with an ms2000) but yeah I love that spot it's very fun up there

[stiff scaffold]

its not the bunker near scav village btw

[manic pewter]

Yeah, the REAP-IR is only useful for Gunsmith 22 and even then, there are other quests that give one

[odd gale]

Youy get one from import

And then you can barter for them with Skier ll4

[manic pewter]

After Gunsmith 22 i believe

For the barter

[odd gale]

For skier no

Mechanic yeah

[manic pewter]

Ahh

[fervent peak]

There is also a ledx barter that gives an M4 with a reap-ir, think that mechanic 4 as well

[manic pewter]

Its basically the gunsmith 22 gun

[valid obsidian]

yea

[manic pewter]

Dont remember it being area locked so shoukd work

[torpid bluff]

I am 13 dogtags off of trading for a ledx...

[tardy sable]

is anyone having issues with raids with another member in a party? me and my friend have been loading into raids where only the host gets in, and the other person has to reconnect into the raid

[young frost]

when are we getting a famas

[manic pewter]

Waste of dogtags ngl, go labs instead

[torpid bluff]

I just collect and sort them on the side, might as well grab a free ledx

[manic pewter]

I mean, fair enough, personally I prefer other barters

[stiff scaffold]

farm them dog tags on factory

[torpid bluff]

like?

[manic pewter]

Id rather get a junkbox for instance

[torpid bluff]

Already got 4

[manic pewter]

I have 6

Still would like more

[torpid bluff]

fair point

[stiff scaffold]

love when unity crashes and my whole thing starts bugging out

[odd gale]

A full junkbox of dogtags gave me around 2m-4m

I can't remember how much exactly

[manic pewter]

Yeah they do sell for a fair bit

If only I had so many GP coins 😔

[carmine lantern]

dogtags for item case

[odd gale]

I don't need item case tbh

[carmine lantern]

ya you just sell them

[odd gale]

I just sold a abandonded marked key

For like 15m

[stiff scaffold]

the items case saved me a lot of space, grinding dog tags was worth it for me

[torpid bluff]

If I could barter an item case combo for a thicc item case, I'd agree

[carmine lantern]

item cases sell for 1.5m-2m depending on the time of day

[stiff scaffold]

tbf the first thicc case opened half of my stash

[carmine lantern]

so you can buy 1.5 ledx normally with an item case barter/flea sell

its all up to the fluctuation of the market of course but item case barter is just better than ledx barter unless you're not going flea market

[willow tinsel]

THICC case is where its at, the barters are all good except from the moonshine one

[fervent peak]

The moonshine one is fine... until you get the PK one, in which case, yes, it sucks

[torpid bluff]

Yesterday I completed the ledx barter with only farmed items

[willow tinsel]

yea, i was thinking the PK one is the best one

the moonshine is a big why to me

out of all the options i could barter a Thicc case for

[torpid bluff]

I still need a few levels to get to the PK arter

[grave trail]

uh i just got killed by zarch while walking towards the lighthouse?

me and teammate had the thingy encoded

i wasnt even by the gate

[willow tinsel]

Arena is goated for Thicc, and when you wait for more weeklys you just go blue folders and Ledx spree

[carmine lantern]

I just checked the flea market, ledx is 1 mil, item case is 2 mil, so the item case barter for dogtags is just better in every single way compared to anything else

[meager coyote]

Anyone remember the weapon part that can hold a bunch of attatchments on it? Trying to make space and forgot the name of it. It was a handguard or something

[warped imp]

If I keep the BSG Launcher up will Tarkov update itself? Of do I have to click on the update when it is ready?

[grave trail]

anyone?

i just got killed by zarch and his boys while tryna go to the lighthouse teammate and i both had transmitters encoded didnt shoot either

[willow tinsel]

oh yeah but in the case of actually keeping and using THICC cases

[carmine lantern]

then you just sell the item case and buy 2x ledx for the ledx thicc barter

[willow tinsel]

but who buys item cases

from flea

[odd gale]

No clue man sorry

[carmine lantern]

literally everyone idk why

[torpid bluff]

too many steps for me

[carmine lantern]

but every time I list one, its an instant buy

[pseudo kayak]

seems like tagged n cursed doesnt work well

[torpid bluff]

oof

[carmine lantern]

ive seen a few people saying this, it might be similar-ish to that one extract on shoreline where people get shot in specific spots by terminal snipers

in that, there may be some area of the map or something where he will aggro regardless of if you have the transmitter or not

[grave trail]

okay odd

[carmine lantern]

thats probably not the actual reason but ive seen at least 3 others talk about it in the recent past

maybe relating to the pillagers

[grave trail]

could be

[pseudo kayak]

it's okay i jumped off the building from top of barracks

[carmine lantern]

tarkov makes people do terrible things

[torpid bluff]

why tho

There are parts of your thorax that your plate does not protect

Mmm, not always

[valid obsidian]

thus the usually

[manic pewter]

Not even usually

[torpid bluff]

Isn't there a percent chance not to be protected by plates?

[valid obsidian]

running reserve at night is scawy

i saw 6 flashlights and then it was like a battlefield match

[manic pewter]

BCP has less than 40 pen so that shouldn't be an issue

[valid obsidian]

so many tracers

[west mist]

shoulder, stomach, armpit, wonder what else from the front would not be covered

[manic pewter]

Your upper and lower thorax, potentially side

[west mist]

also, was wearing a gen 4 at the time

lvl 6 side plates at the time

[pseudo kayak]

who cares accept that birdeye is a cheater

[manic pewter]

Those plates are also tiny

his bcp fmj was actually painted over m993

ik this bc i loaded his mags

hope the patch fixes the thing about being stuck on the healing screen

[west mist]

i've not experienced anything like that

[stiff scaffold]

its this or you make a mistake that get's you killed

[stiff scaffold]

getting stuck on the after raid treatment screen where you pay therapist to heal you

[timid tendon]

I've had it happen but it's quite rare, need to force quit the game when it happens

[west mist]

i spawned on woods only for knight to start mag dumping at me, sniped big pipe, shot knight a bunch, died to birdeye in the back

[manic pewter]

No, its just mistakes that gets you killed

[west mist]

the game wanted me dead

[manic pewter]

With a sprinkle of bullshit

[carmine lantern]

I died earlier to a completely silent pmc grenade, no voicelines or anything

shit happens

[manic pewter]

But thats far and few between tbf

[stiff scaffold]

oh well, that tends to happen and it aint your fault that the game places you in such shit spawn

[torpid bluff]

loaded into a raid without medkit

rip me

rookie mistake

[timid tendon]

your combat stims will get you through it, surely

loaded into a raid on woods, died to goons 20s later

fair game

gotta do some labs raids now, them raiders finna die like flies

[manic pewter]

For times like that is the exact reason i have a grizzly in my ass

[valid obsidian]

why do you have all those bro

[timid tendon]

well this will reinforce the habit of refilling your meds and stims at least

[willow tinsel]

Etg, Sj6, Mule, Zagustin, always in my injector case

every raid

[torpid bluff]

I normally have 3 propital and a obdolb 2

[manic pewter]

Blue blood is objectively better than zag tbf

[pseudo kayak]

Sj6, prop, etg, mule, zag in my doohikey at all times

[manic pewter]

Also less expensive from flea iirc

[willow tinsel]

anything that stops bleed is fine by me

[pseudo kayak]

AHF1M METAA

[willow tinsel]

but i do have an excess amount

[manic pewter]

Blue blood stops bleeding and toxin so do with that what you will

[pseudo kayak]

you can stop a bleed by getting shot in the head did you know

[manic pewter]

Woth i believe none of the downsides of zagustin

[pseudo kayak]

pop 5 odolbos' in a row

youre goingg crazy Niami

understandable

If i was bugged out of savior, i would be too

[odd gale]

Blue blood

Blue blood is superior to all blood stims

[willow tinsel]

you know, i actually had that in my head everytime i did my story ''what if it bugs, what if it cucks me out of savior''

[manic pewter]

Personally I run 2x prop, sj12, 2x sj6, etg, mule, blue blood and a trim

edt is eastern time US

[odd gale]

It says BST

[manic pewter]

Same thing

[odd gale]

So like

[manic pewter]

In 4 hours

[carmine lantern]

4 hrs

[odd gale]

Okay ty

So at 11pm

Or 12am

[manic pewter]

9AM for me

So if youre west coast then i guess 12AM

[odd gale]

Yep

[manic pewter]

Could also just google "when is 8AM BST for me"

[odd gale]

Oh wait but it's gonna be like 6 hours of downtime

[carmine lantern]

at least 6 yea

[odd gale]

So I'll be playing it tmr

[manic pewter]

Its timed more or less perfectly for NA west

Well, for EU too

3PM

[odd gale]

It would be 6am

For me

[manic pewter]

Now i should get some sleep though

Its like 0522

[jovial cobalt]

3 hour 38 min till update

[manic pewter]

So if I sleep for 10h then i can hop right on arena and check the BP out

After a short trip to the store to get some stuff

[vestal phoenix]

bro how the hell do i get pmc kill at dorms

[carmine lantern]

go on bsg servers and just get lucky w rng

there was a vid that showed that bsg servers vs local has potentially different spawns/rates for ai

[odd gale]

Rush to dorms

[vestal phoenix]

appreciate it

[high isle]

Anyone know when the patch notes drop?

Or where I can find them

[carmine lantern]

they will probably drop when the patching starts in around 4 hrs

[high isle]

Thank you!

[torpid bluff]

These pmcs running to extract to avoid being killed are wild

[carmine lantern]

the ai just wants to live :[

[torpid bluff]

not permitted.

Especially since I learned that wearing the wrong mask doesn't give me progress for ref

[stiff scaffold]

patch notes drop when the servers go down

lots of pmcs on labs damn

I don't need that

[fervent peak]

Oh, tarkov going into maintenance in 3 ish hours... hmm

Guess I just buyout ammo and go do something else XD

[stiff scaffold]

I still gotta grind some stuff before the servers go down

trying to find 25 more bitcoins in labs

[manic pewter]

Black is the way

[worn cave]

gang what on earth is the cultists spawn rates for customs??? i havent seen a single one since 1.0

[manic pewter]

Where are you looking?

[distant obsidian]

we litertally just had a cultist event brother lol

[wicked wasp]

??issues

[worn cave]

fucking when?

[willow tinsel]

a few weeks ago, maybe a month now

[stiff scaffold]

month ago

[willow tinsel]

idk times flies fast, im getting old

[stiff scaffold]

ik

[marble bronze]

couple weeks ago

[worn cave]

of course its when i was out of town FML

[willow tinsel]

spam night time

[fervent peak]

THE SKY IS FALLING, CULTISTS ARE SCAVS NOW, AAAAAAH-

[stiff scaffold]

I checked an armored rig that I got from a raider and the aramid insert is a fucking NVG

[worn cave]

i have and i havent seen a single one

[fervent peak]

You lost the dice roll multiple times, go again

[native osprey]

What do you mean?

[stiff scaffold]

it was a visual bug, the aramid icon was an nvg

I posted it on #screenshots

[fervent peak]

It'll never be my korund which was protected by EXPLOSIVE inserts (the neck and something else were impacts, the other couple bits were MSGL grenades)

[native osprey]

Oh, yeah- I noticed that, lol.

[cunning sequoia]

Finally new arena battlepass today

[willow tinsel]

are you looking at the right places on the map

[stiff scaffold]

13 more bitcoins to go

[torpid bluff]

And finished the ref quest just in time

[worn cave]

id assume as i keep running to fortress on customs

[stiff scaffold]

I didn't do skier's

too lazy to do them

[willow tinsel]

checked around panda? in the bushes near panda and around crackhouse ?

[reef furnace]

Yall think this 1.0.5.0 update might be the icebreaker?

[pseudo kayak]

do NOT do the they are alr here bunker part on local

[reef furnace]

BSG teased it in the roadmap supposedly with the "large-scale in-game event" description

[willow tinsel]

i thought you didnt want more saviors to be savioring

[stiff scaffold]

I haven't progressed on that quest at all

[reef furnace]

But I'm honestly more focused on the "new boss" part

[stiff scaffold]

if it's on streets I can't run it very well

[delicate tulip]

what is the best 7.62x51 auto IYO?

[stiff scaffold]

patch is not 1.0.5

its 1.4.5

[pseudo kayak]

just make sure you do NOT do it on local

[reef furnace]

Ohhh yeahh just saw that

I got excited for a moment

Ehem

Wasn't using my nerd glasses to read

[stiff scaffold]

I stopped doing local raids at all

[stiff scaffold]

multiple ppl thought it was gonna be 1.0.5 so its cool

[worn cave]

yep

[reef furnace]

[native osprey]

Why is that? Something I'm not aware of?

[marsh wing]

BP S2 when

@fervent peak BP S2 WHEN

[marble bronze]

From personal experience, I get fewer enemy spawns and had buggy behavior with BTR homie and LK on local. I play on BSG servers whenever possible.

[stiff scaffold]

on my end is that the raids ran like shit and I want better performance

I had to run local before because I had connection issues but now that I fixed it I can run BSG servers perfectly fine

wish I could run labs on bsg servers

[pseudo kayak]

how far away is uh prestige

[distant obsidian]

probably a late fall update at best

[native osprey]

Thanks. I think I've mostly been playing local.

[reef furnace]

Man

AKs suck now

Every since they did the attachment reworks

AKs are practically ugly in recoil

[fervent peak]

y u pinging me, I care little for Arena

Go ping the black templar

[marsh wing]

Damb

[reef furnace]

I mean I'm an AR user but I'm thinking about the playerbase that likes to use AKs

[distant obsidian]

[fervent peak]

Inquisition ain't gonna answer fast enough, you know this

[west mist]

burd up

[distant obsidian]

I dont listen to those losers

[jovial cobalt]

durg up

[distant obsidian]

burg buk

[jovial cobalt]

bawk bawk bawk

[marble bronze]

ak104 go brrr

[fervent peak]

Feck it, I'll go to labs

[reef furnace]

What you trynna do there bud

[fervent peak]

iunno, get some loot I guess?

[reef furnace]

You up for a duo?

[fervent peak]

https://discordapp.com/channels/521608697764380694/1478414284953354260

If Tyreall feels like dicking around with us too

[distant obsidian]

sleep soon

[fervent peak]

Aye

[vast orchid]

question... do gluhkar's guards or himself attack scav players if rep is above 8.0?

[fervent peak]

No.

Unless you yourself became a traitor or shot one of his guards/him

[vast orchid]

thats what i thought... i just spawned and got recked by one at trainyard... tho the name of the killer was "bogus" so probably a pmc npc

[fervent peak]

Or a raider

[vast orchid]

raiders dont count to rogue kills tho right?

[fervent peak]

No.

[vast orchid]

as far as i know they dont

[fervent peak]

Raiders can be freely farmed as a ascav

[vast orchid]

thought so

[pseudo kayak]

how long does the blueberry 12x scav kills on most maps take

[vast orchid]

depends on the map?

[fervent peak]

Depends on how long you take to kill em

Could take one raid, could take more

[pseudo kayak]

ig dumb question 💀

[vast orchid]

not really

streets is full of scavs

[pseudo kayak]

idek what my longest quest until kappa is anymore

[vast orchid]

can get atleast 5 from the sniper spawns

[pseudo kayak]

Im pretty close to kappa

but as soon as I get the survivor ending

my ass is wiping

[vast orchid]

I wish they would put a prestige setting for pve where we dont have to wipe and lose everything to unlock the others

or atleast let us keep the kappa case

[pseudo kayak]

I hate that they dont do story rollback

[vast orchid]

make it locked to the account

[marble bronze]

kinda defeats the point of a prestige system...

[pseudo kayak]

Like what even truly is the bug for local vs bsg on quests???

how does me being on local affect a fucking button press

[carmine lantern]

that bug will plague you forever

[willow tinsel]

i dont see why they would

ops, wrong time to reply

[weary ice]

are they adding prestige

and if so when

[jovial cobalt]

yes

[jovial cobalt]

probably will get delayed

[carmine lantern]

it will be released in tarkov time

which is worse than blizzard time

[jovial cobalt]

got an hour n 5 min left til servers down

[carmine lantern]

sorry I worded it wrongly

[jovial cobalt]

oh woops

[carmine lantern]

there we go :]

[jovial cobalt]

[carmine lantern]

considering how icebreaker was meant to be something done early in the year (from what I recall) and its already almost the middle and its still not released

pve prestige was meant to be released later in the year, but because of that survey, there is some chance that they either make it different for pve, or add extra prestige levels, or rework it completely, etc

so dont count on it for a long time

[raw nest]

No

[slender mantle]

keeping the kappa case what XD

[fervent peak]

For prestige. Since it practically resets us with some minor bonuses

If you're gonna prestige, don't even worry about skill levels or hoarding. Just rush rush rush the main stuff, terminal clear, reset

[carmine lantern]

starting from 'scratch' is what a prestige is all about , its like a controlled reset

[jovial cobalt]

mfw they make pve prestige grindy af to make it harder for us

[carmine lantern]

it would be lame if they just let you restart with one of the most 'powerful' items

[vast orchid]

have you seen bungiee time?

[carmine lantern]

boing :3

[raw nest]

Bungiee?

[vast orchid]

well its bungie, but i felt like being a smartass because of how they did with destiny2/marathon

[jovial cobalt]

lol

i tried marathon a few times recently

just feels like im playing a video game i guess

[vast orchid]

a video game, just not the one you wanted/expected

[weary ice]

servers go down soon?

[jovial cobalt]

55m

[vast orchid]

anyone wanna join me on division 2 when it does?

:3

[carmine lantern]

I cant wait for the slew of people complaining that the game went down for maintenance

[vast orchid]

you mean like the ones who complain that something went wrong and got extended?

People are so entitled these days

[jovial cobalt]

shitty bsg not even putting an announcement tht the game is going down bad company bad nikita

even though its on like every single of their social media

[carmine lantern]

I will wait for the division 3

[vast orchid]

you cant divide 3 tho

[jovial cobalt]

6/7

[vast orchid]

its like crossing the streams

[vast orchid]

get out

[jovial cobalt]

what i thought we were talking about math

cant say six divided by seven anymore ?!

[carmine lantern]

the tarkov patch will take 6-7 hours to complete

[vast orchid]

followed by 67 bots demanding refunds

or squeekers

[raw nest]

I mean destiny2 has to die

[carmine lantern]

isnt it already

[raw nest]

People are still playing because they are addicted

[vast orchid]

you know who else is 67?

MY MOM

[raw nest]

[vast orchid]

YEAH i had to throw in some muscle man... ill see myself out (while listening to the va's metal band)

[vast orchid]

that was funny and you know it

[carmine lantern]

id give it a 6 out of 7

[vast orchid]

thank you

[warped cairn]

i have a really logical question about eft

how the hell do they have russian enemies

yet they have guns and armor from every speck of the world

including a toy pellet shooter named after a glock with a switch

[fervent peak]

Salvaged from corpses from the initial start of Tarkov, when USECs were a semi-common sight

Or stolen off convoys from Peacekeeper or traded from the traders in some way shape or form

[proper harness]

when serva goin down

[fervent peak]

Go check eft announcements

[proper harness]

bet ty

[carmine lantern]

20 min

[peak silo]

??event

[quasi apex]

Upcoming new battle pass "celebration" event!
Accept task Short on Hands (Skier) and Casus belli (Ref) to get started.

[lean quiver]

patch notes out sheeeesh https://x.com/tarkov/status/2046121608029393333?s=20

[broken fable]

pillagers are really crack at their shots

[amber sentinel]

They should be permanent enemies

[broken fable]

I rather have their AI on pmcs

[warped cairn]

honestly skiier is my husbando

[carmine lantern]

more mod adjustments, time for me to redo all my weapons again..

[broken fable]

but shooting me thru the fog while I have no vision of them is really too much

[amber sentinel]

fog AI has always been bad

[reef viper]

Bruh, I was 4 kills away from finishing the event quest for Skier

[timid tendon]

going to be a fun hour or two rebuilding all my guns again thanks bsg

wish they did it in one change / patch 🙁

[tepid wind]

Hey some pretty cool changes for tarkov

Quest progress staying when you DC in a local raid is cool

[carmine lantern]

its not that bad if you use db4tarkov at least

since its like a browser based gunsmith

[jovial cobalt]

it resets to what it was before the raid

i think for story chapters

[storm drum]

I was transitioning from Factory to Labs until it kicked after the countdown to transition for the update. What will happen to my character?

[odd gale]

Whatever you had before loading into the raid is fine

[cursive summit]

You get loaded i to stash since you technically extracted

[lavish kestrel]

I was this close to finishing the event quest, I had already activated the lights and I was going to the yellow van when I had that dreadful timer tell me to get out

[vestal phoenix]

update starts as soon as i needed 1 more pmc kill to get kappa 🥹

[lavish kestrel]

Oh well, I guess I won't be getting that achievement

[native osprey]

Kind of lame there isn't an in-game warning of some sort.

[raw nest]

Damn really?

[cursive summit]

Yeah, even more penalizing suppressed builds

[carmine lantern]

yall are in the discord where it gives announcements on the time the servers go down

[gusty whale]

Pretty sure there was another quest after that anyways

[cursive summit]

I never used suppressed builds after 1.0 since I just dont see a reason, less ergo and less recoil reduction then loud builds so I kinda just never cared to use a suppressor

[lavish kestrel]

Nope, I was at the last ref mission, at Interchange

[native osprey]

Ok. Still lame there isn't an in-game notification, lol.

[lavish kestrel]

I had already fast grinded the PMC kills

[cursive summit]

I mean its always been the same time as always 3am est to whatever yall timezones are

[raw nest]

I will have to go over the meta builds once more

[gusty whale]

Ah nvm ye 10 kills are part of that quest

[lavish kestrel]

2 quick raids into GZ

[native osprey]

I mean... I'm just saying its lame there isn't an in-game notification. Plenty of games have it when they're going to be winding servers down.

Now lets read them patch notes 🤓

[carmine lantern]

I do agree w you

im being a bit snarky

[lavish kestrel]

I had busy weeks and on the weekends I barely had time to finish the quests. Today I had to finish college stuff and when I had the time to play tarkov and finish the event, I get kicked out on the last part but it's fine

[carmine lantern]

its just that, this happens every single update

[lavish kestrel]

I got the Demon masks so I am happy as hell

And two of them so really freaking happy

[native osprey]

You'd think they'd add an in-game notification. 😛

[cursive summit]

Guess it could be useful but I mean the time has been the same as always, dont get how people are still getting surprised when its been the same time as always, although a counter would be nice but eh

[native osprey]

You say 'always', but I've been playing this game for like a week, lol. Not everyone is living the same life as you broseph, haha.

[cursive summit]

Qol stuff aint exactly bsg's style

[native osprey]

EFT has sold like 1mil+ copies, yeah?

[carmine lantern]

welcome to tarkov and the tarkov discord where you get a lot of annoying replies for anything you talk about (myself included)

[native osprey]

Haha, np

[carmine lantern]

its also an extremely jank game that seems to be held up by duct tape and spare bandages

considering one of the bug fixes was about your gun doing no damage after fixing it, after being on a mounted weapon, or some shit like that..

I expect any qol they add to break like 8 things

[gusty whale]

Shame it doesn't look like we're getting new content today though

[native osprey]

I couldn't really enjoy it originally, but I've been enjoying PVE quite a bit. I imagine it will take me a good amount of time to 'escape'. lol

[ivory marten]

patchnotes look rough as far as weapon modding goes

[native osprey]

I think with a game with this level of depth, a ton of things probably code weird with cascading issues, lol.

[carmine lantern]

the only new content is on arena for now

[ivory marten]

more mods becoming useless again

[raw nest]

Uhm actually

[ivory marten]

"Muzzle devices were further refined following the first iteration. Suppressors and their combinations with compensators now reduce ergonomics more and affect recoil less." this is good though

[native osprey]

This is nice at least:

Updated the left-shoulder firing stance logic. Switching to the right shoulder will no longer happen instantly when colliding with obstacles. Instead, the weapon will continue moving for a short period without changing stance

[ivory marten]

I mean shoulder swapping isn't really that good

your pmc handles the weapon poorly so I'd rather just fully relocate instead of attempting it

[native osprey]

I seem to get messed up less with I shoulder switch for left peeking- though I always try to go for right side peek.

[ivory marten]

I hope they made the rvg better

[carmine lantern]

the most annoying bit is 'Adjustments to muzzle flash are planned for future updates.'

[ivory marten]

yeah bro gotta keep you coming back for something

[gusty whale]

Why is that annoying?

[ivory marten]

Base characteristics of many weapons have been updated to better align with the new balance. Recoil and ergonomics have been improved for the following

and then it's all ARs really

no mention of smgs

[tidal goblet]

True

[ivory marten]

they didn't change the muzzleflash for loud weapons

[native osprey]

I'm new to the game, but this patch seems pretty meh for a 6 hour shutdown, lol.

[ivory marten]

use flashhider - still has flash

[ivory marten]

they always have stuff they don't add to the patchnotes

basically gonna have to go through all your weapon builds again

[tidal goblet]

Bruh, i'm just overjoyed at the fact that pillagers are gone. Absolutely hated them

[ivory marten]

"Buttstocks received minor adjustments, mainly addressing inaccuracies and issues from the first iteration."

[gusty whale]

Yeah but doesn't that mean it's planned to be adjusted in the future, that's a good thing, no?

[ivory marten]

pillagers were light work cuh

[ivory marten]

I mean yeah, we'll see

muzzleflash shouldn't be that bright to begin with

[native osprey]

I had fun with the pillagers.

[tidal goblet]

I'm shit at this game, and i'm still learning, so, for me, they were horrible

[quartz vector]

Yo?

[gusty whale]

Yeah they're probably pre loading content for new events to servers for later in the month so they don't have to push a big update then

[native osprey]

I wish they gave PMCs different levels of AI or something based on their dogtag level or something.

[ivory marten]

"Introduced a task progression protection system in local PvE Zone raids in case of unexpected client shutdowns. If the game closes unexpectedly, task progress will now revert to the state at the start of the raid;" not sure what this means tbh

[native osprey]

That makes more sense.

[ivory marten]

they were a way of getting arena loot

[ivory marten]

we'll see if it's positive or negative

[gusty whale]

Story quests could break if you crashed in local raids

[ivory marten]

oh? I didn't know haven't done them

[carmine lantern]

its just annoying because they said this right after the part 1 weapon attachment update, and its still just 'planned for the future'

[gusty whale]

Fair

[carmine lantern]

its not super annoying or anything but theres a bunch that just feel unusable rn

[ivory marten]

G3 in tarkov before muzzleflash fix

[carmine lantern]

like the mod 4 muzzle brake fills your whole screen with flash

[ivory marten]

I mean if you're using full auto in pve what are you doing

[carmine lantern]

I always go full auto

[gusty whale]

Yeah I get you, can make aiming at a distance inconvenient

[ivory marten]

"Updated the K/D display in character stats. It now counts player kills only." so we all gonna have a k/d of 0

[carmine lantern]

even at mid range I will spray and pray, im that kind of player lol

[spark garden]

i go full auto because im trash otherwise :3

[native osprey]

Shift, W, and Left trigger always being pressed. 😎

[carmine lantern]

im like a damn ork

[hearty crown]

Maybe you will.

[nocturne gyro]

Where are you guys seeing these update at? I thought it was for the new map and boss

[ivory marten]

I mean unless you're killing your teammates you literally won't have any player kills 🙂

[native osprey]

I'm trash even with full-auto, lol

[carmine lantern]

https://discord.com/channels/521608697764380694/521645013277474826

[spark garden]

challenge accepted.

[cursive summit]

Maybe just for pmc kills

[carmine lantern]

its not a new map and boss, dont get excited

[ivory marten]

my 125 k/d will be gone 🙁

[hearty crown]

You don't kill your bros for fun?

[ivory marten]

nah I play solo my game broken

[cursive summit]

They leave if I so that

[carmine lantern]

helmet check :]

[hearty crown]

Frown Boss rushing then deathmatching after is fun.

[nocturne gyro]

Oh man it’s 1.04.05

[hearty crown]

Is bad news?

[nocturne gyro]

I thought it’s 1.05 got exited for nothing

[hearty crown]

Dang

[tidal goblet]

How will i be sure that the death shadow actually works then?

[ivory marten]

you wear deathshadow?

drip or drown bro we don't wear that ugly thing

[carmine lantern]

using a blicky on your teammates while they're busy holding an angle, just to piss them off

[crimson kelp]

you need some new friends bro hahaha
i shoot mine in the legs near extract all the time lol

[hearty crown]

I wear the olive drab tier 4 from ll3 prapor

[tidal goblet]

So what's your recom for a banger drip then?

[crimson kelp]

Thats toxic asf . . . . and i love it xD

[ivory marten]

I wear the shades from PK

the ones big pipe wears

forgot the name rn

oakley something

saved me today from a toz slug

[native osprey]

Gascans

[crimson kelp]

Yea either that or i run Christmas Killa Helmet for funsies xD

[tidal goblet]

Dayum

[ivory marten]

my first encounter with the pillagers I got shot in the teeth anyway deathshadow ain't doin nothin against a 54r

[cursive summit]

I use the neosteel with the mandible cause I like the shark mouth, and that its tier 3

[carmine lantern]

there are two of us mandible enjoyers

[ivory marten]

mandibles are really rare outside arena ones

neosteel anyway

[tidal goblet]

They black out all my limbs first before they headeye me, so i can concur, but it's usefull against AI PMCs

[carmine lantern]

I got the shark mouth from a scav raider at like lvl 30 and now im lvl 62 and im still holding onto it

[fervent ravine]

Thoughts on the new update??

[ivory marten]

always have a pk when you going to fight

[ivory marten]

playin rn

[cursive summit]

I mean there's always a chance it can ricochet even a bs 54r ammo, although not likely

[tidal goblet]

Liar

[hearty crown]

Its 420 maybe we can smoke cigarettes now

[fervent ravine]

Bro the installation of the update has just begun

[ivory marten]

yeah you meant to say thoughts on the patchnotes

[fervent ravine]

Same thing haha

[ivory marten]

performance stuff - good
weapon adjustments - need to test before can answer
other fixes - good

[hearty crown]

That would be so amazing to have my pmc keel over and die of a heart attack mid gun fight

[cursive summit]

Oh nah, stress meter added

[ivory marten]

pre vaulting tarkov

[carmine lantern]

putting that shit in my big pipe

[spark garden]

im mostly wondering about this comment about the PMC behavior to scavs with fence rep above 6. are they not supposed to be nice to us more above 6?

[ivory marten]

pig pipe

[carmine lantern]

:[

[ivory marten]

they already changed that

[carmine lantern]

im hungry

[ivory marten]

they're hostile on sight rn

[spark garden]

so theyre not supposed to be above 6?

[ivory marten]

I have 62.92 scav rep and they still shoot me

[native osprey]

lol

[hearty crown]

Im caught on that pig pipe comment too, mind boggling.

[ivory marten]

everything other than raiders / rouges / goons weren't hostile

[tidal goblet]

Some ways to go till you reach 69 (hehe)

[hearty crown]

Wear your comms thing

[carmine lantern]

it used to be as of several months ago that pmc's would not shoot at you unless you shot them first, if you were 6 scav karma

[ivory marten]

yeah

[native osprey]

I was under the impression that 6+ scav rep just meant bosses wouldn't kill you as a scav and other scavs would follow you or something?

[hearty crown]

They dont even see you, i'd be all up in their face flipping 'em off cussing at em, shouting at him, shooting them and taking their stuff.If you have that little radio thing, they don't give a damn what you do

[ivory marten]

I miss watching them fight

I liked ai watching

[carmine lantern]

they then changed it a bit ago so they are more hostile, so idk why they put that in the new update

[spark garden]

i mean for the most part thats been that way, unless some other scav got them upset, THEN theyd shoot me

[ivory marten]

could just be a redundant post

[crimson kelp]

do it too scavs 😉 they will 100% aggrro

[carmine lantern]

yes, it was just a bug, they treated you like their own

[hearty crown]

Not with the radio bro

[ivory marten]

nah not a bug

the way they made the ai

[spark garden]

hmmmm. guess i'll see after the patch hits

[ivory marten]

won't we all

[ivory marten]

imagine they reverted it

[crimson kelp]

Ahhhh my bad . . .that bug still going ?

[carmine lantern]

thats fair, idk how they do anything

[native osprey]

Oh, you're talking about that unheard radio thingy. Wasn't that just 60m and they wouldn't shoot you?

[ivory marten]

me neither

[ivory marten]

you lose rep if you kill scavs though lol

if you got that thing on

[carmine lantern]

what we're talking about has nothing to do with the radio, in terms of 6 scav karma

[hearty crown]

I didn't know it was a bug, I thought the higher your scav rep the even more on top of the normal get away with that you could get away with. Distance and aggro wise.

[ivory marten]

yeah they'd still aggro you too

[hearty crown]

Oh

[ivory marten]

or you mean the unheard thing

[native osprey]

I imagine maybe the radio would be helpful for later missions where you have to kill only PMCs or whatever.

[hearty crown]

Yeah

[crimson kelp]

nah if your on your scav with over 6 rep . . . your safe from bosses . .. . you were also safe from PMCs up until a few patches ago too lol

[carmine lantern]

I would follow pmc patrols on a scav, wait for them to kill other scavs, and then kill them while they reloaded just to get a bit of extra karma

[hearty crown]

The unheard of radio thing. You wear it and hear whispers way more often stg

[ivory marten]

goons always hostile

killing goons made scavs hostile too

[hearty crown]

Like there are a few places in reserve with like audio ques.

[ivory marten]

tarkov moment

[crimson kelp]

after the patch maybe . . .but ive got videos of me chillin with them lol . . . . tbf its been a while since i tried

[native osprey]

Goons are just meth heads with guns I feel. Someday I'll finish them off...damn Birdeye.

[carmine lantern]

the gooners can smell their own

[ivory marten]

I used to watch the ai fight, I enjoyed it

bears always worse than the usecs

[hearty crown]

I follow scavs to see what they get up too on my scav runs.

[ivory marten]

I hope they update the pmc gear like they did the p226s

[spark garden]

really? in my experience, usec always shot my scav instantly. bears would leave me alone for a solid minute THEN kill me.

[hearty crown]

They lead you to good stuff you follow em long enough.

[tidal goblet]

Got rushed on woods usec camp some time ago, by knight and birdeye. Managed to pop them both, but didn't see any sign of big pipe, which was weird as hell

[crimson kelp]

customs is youre best bet . . . just run straight too Industrial then push fortress from there . . . . they will either meet you in industrial or come from mechanics to fortress .. . either way grab an angle and slap them . . . .strairs for fortress and a doorway in industrial

[ivory marten]

killed the goons with an svt, single mag on lighthouse, as a scav, greatest scav moment

[carmine lantern]

ive seen big pipe get stuck inside the brush on customs next to the train tracks, dude was just standing in there

[ivory marten]

woods the worst place to fight them imo

[carmine lantern]

lighthouse in the rogues camp area was super painful with them in there

[crimson kelp]

i had them and pillagers fighting together on the road across from big red lol . . . . Pipe was doin that exact thing just chilling doin nothing . . . .was the cheesiest kill to date xD

[ivory marten]

man that map kinda sucks ass to fight anything

[cursive summit]

Yeah wish they added like y'know so the scav have really reduced aim or just could see you through bushes and trees or something

[ivory marten]

I'd rather the ai stand still in a bush than full auto spray me in the head

one is more realistic

[crimson kelp]

agreed . . . .worst map lol everything looks the same

[carmine lantern]

woods remains my least played and most disliked map

[ivory marten]

challenge ~ wear T-7s on woods

mmmm they need to increase the ai on local raids

[carmine lantern]

I know a lot of oldheads love it probably but ive finished almost every quest there and I just dont care for it much

[tidal goblet]

Yeah, it's bad as hell. I got lucky as they pushed while i was downhill, by some rocks. Knight bugged out in some rocks enough for me to give him the 1000 right leg toe bullet of death technique and birdeye then just rushed as well and managed to black out my arm before i headeyed him. I wouldn't want to fight them on woods or shoreline, for that matter. Too much open space

[crimson kelp]

lmao i did that on Pvp waaaaaayyyyyyyyy back lmao . . . .that was a wild lost trip walkling in circles lmao

[ivory marten]

oldheads love it because it's just a lot of nothing

so you can always guess where people are (the loot areas)

or sniping... towards the loot areas

[carmine lantern]

they need to up the density of enemies by double and make it so that 90% of the pmc's dont just gravitate toward the center and get killed by shturman

[crimson kelp]

or bum rush extract

[ivory marten]

I mean for all maps they need to increase the ai

playing a factory on server vs solo is wild

7 kills local
27 kills server

[crimson kelp]

is yours as dead as mine ?

yea thought so

[tidal goblet]

It's that big of a difference between playing local and on server!?

[ivory marten]

they did that to local raids for a couple reason prolly

[ivory marten]

mhm

[carmine lantern]

I remember one day factory a bit ago where I threw a grenade and heard one single scav, that was it, I just left

[crimson kelp]

yea people were cheesing the fuck out of shit

[ivory marten]

loot too, loot is also worse in local raids

I know people disagree

but it's fact

[crimson kelp]

is just a pain when im so far in front of everyone else and need PMCs lol so i go off on myu own and cant get shit done lm ao

[carmine lantern]

local loads faster and you dont deal w ping, but it feels like server is just the better way to go in every other way

[ivory marten]

finding 5 scavs in 20 minutes on factory is miserable

[ivory marten]

can't even select server for most maps

some are local only now

[carmine lantern]

especially after that shit a few months ago where if you did local raids they just wouldnt count and it reset every time you extracted, unless you played on bsg servers

[cursive summit]

Pretty sure that resets the snowball progress too, last time I heard

[harsh relic]

either this or 5 billion pmcs no in between

[carmine lantern]

since that point ive done bsg every map I can, outside of ones where you cant ofc

[ivory marten]

dying resets it, never heard about selecting a server hosted raid having an effect on that

[tidal goblet]

Jesus... i play on local purely because the game loads faster for me like that, for some reason, but you saying that there's more ai and better loot on server... well, better late than ever, i guess

Cheers for that

[ivory marten]

I mean I like the 5 billion peemers

[ivory marten]

local raids feel real goodsometimes

hitreg being the biggest imo

I get less janky gunplay when I do local

[carmine lantern]

I saw a video recently of someone on customs comparing bsg vs local

[harsh relic]

true but when im wearing CPC goons edition + rebreather ronin and i die 1 shot through my left armpit im a little upset

[cursive summit]

Before 1.0 since I was actively trying to get snowball i dont know if it still has the same issue but I you kill like 10 bosses on server then load into a local server your progress would reset

[broken patio]

You can play factory on a server?!

[ivory marten]

nope

[carmine lantern]

local=partisan every raid, car extract every raid, no pmc's going to dorms

[ivory marten]

I played with a friend to compare

since can't select server as solo

[carmine lantern]

server=no parti, car rarely, more pmc's roaming in different areas like dorms

[harsh relic]

parmesan

[ivory marten]

eh

[spark garden]

you say car always there, i have played local and frequently see no car...

[ivory marten]

yeah car is map dependent

% based on what map

customs is one of the more common ones

[carmine lantern]

by always I mean almost always, I havent seen the vid in a bit, but it was over like 30-40 raids
