pve-chat

[bronze saddle]

hope its a headshot too lol

[dreamy mantle]

my furthest so far is 462.7m

[vapid bloom]

??event

[willow tinsel]

Guys, is the Atlant Armour Titan Aramid helmet (Rudiarius) compatible with proflex??

[magic yacht]

Tbh I liked how it was before

Using one bandage for full healing instead of 10+10 syringes felt a bit more smooth

[candid quiver]

playing arena really reminds me why pvp is so ass

really cant see how anyone finds this fun for longer than 1 second

[willow tinsel]

dunno, i feel like people only play it to get the rewards from it, obv theres gonna be people who loves it also and plays it 24/7 but yea

but playing for drip, is prolly closer to why people play

[candid quiver]

literally i only play it rn cuz i like the rewards at the end of the BP

but its like the worst gaming experiences ive ever had

[swift path]

I think it's even worse than the pvp experience. Arena is like playing cod with tarkov mobility

[candid quiver]

garrys mod had better pvp than this

[swift path]

Anything had better pvp than this

That's why people keen on it

"Oh, I'm good at the worst pvp games in the world, I'm better than allllllll of you"

[candid quiver]

fr

[swift path]

"and it's not even a bad experience,yall just suck at it, and I'm good at it"

[candid quiver]

like i literally calculated how many dailies id need to do to finish the BP

itll take about a month

[swift path]

And that's if you can do them all

There's a chance for ridiculous daily

[candid quiver]

i just reroll them until i get like eliminations or score

[swift path]

You can reroll forever? I don't play arena

[candid quiver]

i think so

[swift path]

it cost rep in eft

[noble viper]

regarding the uhh.. dlc outfits. in like the best way to explain it, if i buy an outfit for BEAR but im on USEC can i use that outfit i bought or no?

[candid quiver]

dont think so

[swift path]

Couldn't be bothered to pay bsg more

Would happily delete the game for good and never return if I can get a refund

[noble viper]

whats bsg

[swift path]

Battle state games?

The dev of this bloody game?

[candid quiver]

eh i love eft pve cuz it actually allows you to play the game

[noble viper]

ong

[swift path]

Don't say that here

[feral onyx]

Oh is referencing that off limits?

[swift path]

Yes

[magic yacht]

Having an entire PvP Game only beeing played because it gives you rewards in other Games makes the experience miserable for pretty much everybody

[marble bronze]

Well it's against BSG ToS so...

[magic yacht]

I still think that a PvE version of Arena that behaves like PvE zone from regular eft would be beneficial

[swift path]

Do you guys remember Nikita "promised" we'll have mods in pve?

[magic yacht]

since more people would be inclined to then play arena, and BSG would have some sort of Proving grounds to improve their AI

[candid quiver]

i think deleting pvp and forcing pve would be beneficial

[swift path]

Agreed. It's not a good pvp game at all.

[swift path]

Now that I'm not so sure... at least we can have some peace if those guys are in pvp

[noble viper]

ew mods

[swift path]

Have you visited the pvp channel? It's like a wild animal zoo there

[gusty reef]

so with the barrel changes are long barrels no longer meta? should I just build short barrels

[magic yacht]

Imagine a mod that constantly plays Russian Hardbass at Killas current location

That would be fire

[noble viper]

imagine a mod that allows u to adjust the difficulty of npc's

[swift path]

[swift path]

I think we should have that, really

[astral kindle]

Yes and not long ago he did re-confirm it on twitter

[swift path]

I mean, it's pve, I'm not effecting anyone

[swift path]

I just don't know how they're gonna do that.

[gusty reef]

imagine... wouldn't that be crazy.....

[astral kindle]

Most likely something like private servers

[swift path]

After all, even if you only play solo, you'll still have flea market, your gameplay would effect other people somehow

[dreamy mantle]

or just local

[swift path]

So I guess it's more like "officially recognized mods only"

[noble viper]

js saying, even without mods it would be cool to adjust the difficulty of scavs, would be easier for newer players learning the game

[magic yacht]

I think it might work similar to how Ghost Ship Games does it for DRG where BSG approves of mods.
Probably not the best way and there might be bias against or for certain mods, but that would be one way it would work out

[swift path]

Like new guns, armor

[dreamy mantle]

because private servers would be costly, whereas creating options that are not global could be hosted locally. RIP those who have slow internet

[swift path]

Exactly what I thought

[gusty reef]

I'm of the opposite opinion where AI is way too easy and the option needs to be to make them way harder lmao

[magic yacht]

And then unapproved mods would only be possible on a seperate character

[noble viper]

Truth but could be used vice versa

[dreamy mantle]

i do have 5Gbit internet though, just need to update my network switches

[swift path]

I don't even think they would go that far

[marble bronze]

Also any V-Ex

[magic yacht]

Not for scavs imo since theyre just civis who found a gun, but Bosses/Guards/Raiders/PMCs etc. definily

[swift path]

And I hardly believe they would allow any mods that make the game easier

[magic yacht]

Having the option to adjust them at will and experimenting with settings would be really good

[swift path]

How long have you been playing this game? We're you around when a random scav can one shot you in the eye 200 meters away in the bush surrounded by fogs?

They do that, like two or three in-game winters ago

[magic yacht]

I remember the times where beeing in LoS of the goons/rogues for longer than a second would result in you getting Head Eyes'd immediatly

[gusty reef]

I've been playing for like 3 years
not the longest but I'm not new by any means

[swift path]

I think the difficulty problem is like AC, since everyone have to stay in the same room, if you're cold at least you can put some coat on, but if you're not, you can't peel your skin off

[gusty reef]

I think scav AI should stay the same and PMC ai should be buffed to be more skilled and reactive until it's almost like fighting a player who is kinda bad at the game

the PMC AI is just braindead and it ruins the game for me

[swift path]

Not trying to attack you by any means bud, just reminding you there was a period scav are ridiculously op

I assumed you would remember if you were there back then

[gusty reef]

I know, I wasn't trying to be aggressive :)

[magic yacht]

John Tarkov sniping people with star slugs from 200m

[swift path]

In that case we're all good pal

[gusty reef]

I know there was a period where AI was ridiculously OP but right now we're in a period where AI is ridiculously bad

a middle ground would be nice

if modders can make AI literally act like real players I don't see why BSG can't, it's just laziness to improve the system

[swift path]

And it's the same for difficulty. You find it too easy, there's way to make it harder for yourself, but those who find it too hard can't make it easy

[swift path]

If you want some challenge, there's a guy named Jager have some idea

You can always Downgrade your weapon, ammo and armor

[dreamy mantle]

one of the things i do love is being able to reset used up gun repair and armor repair kits using just a few items.

[swift path]

Oh that was better indeed

They nerfed the spawn for it but you don't have to loot a lot now

It used to be pretty common but you might still need to buy from flea

[gusty reef]

and I do
that doesn't make the game harder though honestly

I sound like a deranged gatekeeper for saying this but bad players should have to get good at the game, not that decent or good players should have to artificially nerf themselves to be on level

Tarkov is after all marketed as a hardcore punishing game

I'm not saying the bots should be john wick with a dosage of heroine but there should be some level of competency in the AI system and it doesn't currently exist

PMCs will just not shoot when you peek, they have zero coordination and will run at you (or sit in one spot and do nothing), there is no counterplay to your moves aside from "run in straight line away from grenade"

[swift path]

See personality my point is, I've been through all those shit, have to fire us round with aks74u or mp5 with 30 rounds mag with m882, I earned the right to be easy in this game. If it's too boring, I'll just move on. Getting more difficult or restarting the whole thing won't motivate me

At the end of the day, having someone else to play with is the thing that keeps me playing, not the game itself

[torpid shore]

Sup guys im looking for a group to run pve with and have some fun and learn more if your interested pls dm me

[gusty reef]

#pve-lfg

[twilit gust]

It is punishing even if it is easy, you do still lose everything if you die, insurance definitely feels a little too good in PvE though.

I do agree that seeing some more 'PMCs will punish you if you misplay' would be nice. I remember when I first started PvE the PMCs were scary, now not so much

[swift path]

There's a lfg channel for that, but I could use some fun

[willow tinsel]

well yea, and i think the fact that because its trying to emulate ( as much as it can ) a milsim, does not make it fun in an Arcade like gamemode, that is just what i think - its like Tarkov does well on what its doing, but trying to be what it wasnt built for makes it horrible

[torpid shore]

Sorry I didnt pay attention

[gusty reef]

insurance in pve should have a %rate of failing to bring items instead of being guaranteed delivery
I don't use insurance just because it's basically impossible to lose gear otherwise

the only item I've insured since I've wiped is a zryachiy balaclava I spent like 3m on lol

[twilit gust]

yeah i'm quickly adopting that school of thought, save for guns I can't easily replace yet like the Spear. I like PvE because I can run the tacticool setup and larp with my friends, but I would like the AI to put the fear of God in me, so far only the Goons do that

[willow tinsel]

you know like, you dont play Arma/Squad because you love playing CoD, those are two different genres of games in entirety, if it makes any sense @magic yacht

[gusty reef]

I think I have 4(?) spears so I just sell mine now

I rip off the tango6t since I'm only level 30 and then sell the rifle

I don't even like using the gun

[twilit gust]

I'm level 41 I just need to unlock lightkeeper to get moving on the quest that gives me access to buy the Spear.

[twilit gust]

It's probably my favorite rifle IRL even if it isn't the best.

[gusty reef]

I'm probably going to start lightkeeper soon, I just only have 1 COFDM and I KNOW that's gunna take forever

[willow tinsel]

And they do well, because they are built for it, CoD/Battlefield is arcade games, fast paced, you shoot, kill, die, respawn, repeat - whereas Tarkov is more slow

[gusty reef]

I think it looks kind of cool but I really hate how the magpul SLK looks on it

I like Sig's other weapons way more

[whole birch]

should i be checking in obscure places in factory for cultists? i check all the main above ground areas and reset

[twilit gust]

I've found all mine on reserve, I need one more, I'm gonna try to find it tonight, I fear I'll get hammered before I manage to though

[gusty reef]

I found one on reserve and then died with it (forgot to safe pocket it 💔 ) and then I found the one I have on Labrys

[livid oxide]

get the reserve PKPTS key. they have like 2 spawn at times

[gusty reef]

yeah someone told me to do that last night, found one first raid lol

I just didn't go back for seconds

[formal lotus]

I have 4 of those keys and no idea where they go

[gusty reef]

actually I did but one didn't spawn and then I didn't go back to reserve after a second raid

[gusty reef]

it's in the bunker right near where you turn on power

pretty good room

[north sundial]

hows the performance after this new patch update? did they improve it?

and is there any difference from when it was at 1.0 launch

[twilit gust]

miles better for me

[north sundial]

ur cpu?

[twilit gust]

I'm hitting 120 frames on every map so far, (haven't tried streets)

[gusty reef]

my game no longer stutters at the very start of raid but otherwise identical. Mine runs well anyway

[twilit gust]

I7 12 series

[formal lotus]

My stats changed and I’m not happy about it. My KD was 20. Now it’s 2.25, so confused

[north sundial]

i have a ryzen 5 5600x

[gusty reef]

KD now only counts PMCs

Mine went down to 12 from like 60 lol

[north sundial]

eft used to be optimised

[formal lotus]

🥴

[livid oxide]

when lol

[formal lotus]

The one stat I actually work on ~ Nikita can kiss my gurly baIIs

[half gale]

We have to manipulate the Metal part market to 70k-100k

people invest in metal parts they are 50k now and they might rise

[twilit gust]

I used lossless scaling to give me better frames before it was better set up

[formal lotus]

It seems to play the same for me. I never kno what’s going on

[gusty reef]

Insider trading

[half gale]

lol

[astral kindle]

Sounds like someone invested metal parts and wants people to help out

[swift path]

Speaking of market, red ARE are totally back

Yesterday I found it went 200k

[formal lotus]

Question~ does buying or selling things to fence up the scav rep? I was 12 when I wiped. Up to 6.11 now

[astral kindle]

No

[swift path]

I guess it's because the new stock allowed you to show it completely because it's still the same with black one

[half gale]

maybe, im lowk kinda broke and only got 10mil roubles left

[formal lotus]

🤨

[formal lotus]

When I wiped I had 90 mill… 90% of that was from running my scav cause I suck at tasks

[half gale]

dayum

i just run customs night and hit cultists and dorms mrk

[formal lotus]

I just found the marked dorms key

[half gale]

dont you hit cultists up?

[formal lotus]

What does it means when your weapon is enhanced??

[half gale]

idk

more damage or sum

[swift path]

I had a few months hunting cultists too, trying to find that factory keycard

[half gale]

i have like 3 of them

[formal lotus]

I play solo mostly. I have zero idea of what I’m doing, my first game

[plush panther]

it has different bonuses like smaller chance of jamming or less recoil, you can see it when you click to inspect the weapon in your inventory

[livid oxide]

first game ever?

[half gale]

i started november 2025 and some dude i found in a tiktok coment section plays with me

[formal lotus]

Does Mario and Tetris 35 yrs ago count? Lol I bought this computer just for Tarkov and ima 54 yr old woman ~ I have no idea why 😁 but I been playing for 2.5 years now

It’s the only thing on the computer besides one fb alt

[livid oxide]

yes Mario and Tetris counts

I played them too

[formal lotus]

I miss my Nintendo

[plush panther]

if you play on European servers and you want someone to help you play, I could join you

[formal lotus]

I think I can play some European servers

[plush panther]

well then if you need some assistance I'd be happy to help

[formal lotus]

I’m always around~ send a friend request if you’d like to… skidbiscuit

[plush panther]

will do, my ingame name is Histamine

[half gale]

yo what is the best traders that gives most money and xp from tasks

[plush panther]

eventually you'll want to do tasks from everyone, I don't think it really matters

[swift path]

Tasks? It hardly relevant

[half gale]

i wanna run cool kits and stuff

[livid oxide]

what level are you

[swift path]

You'll need all of them.

[half gale]

32 i think

[formal lotus]

I’m 33

[livid oxide]

just keep going and max out all the traders. you're not that far out.

[half gale]

i need gpnvg

[swift path]

PK then.

[half gale]

ok

[livid oxide]

I don't use AKs so I stan PK

[swift path]

I think he have barter with dogtags at ll3?

[livid oxide]

PK and Mechanic have the best gear for me

[half gale]

i have many dog tags

or i think

[plush panther]

7.6k hours? I'm gonna need help from you and not the other way around 😭

[half gale]

when can china start manipulating the m.parts market i need roubles

[formal lotus]

That’s not accurate. It’s half that. And I have almost all the tasks still

I wish I could correct that stat

I kill things lol

[plush panther]

understandable lol

[half gale]

i think china is manipulating metal parts it was just at 29k and now back at 50k

[formal lotus]

It’s takin me this long to figure out the keyboard. That has been a bitch. When I decided to play I was thinking it was PlayStation or such. Surprised it was PC. Brought an IT nerd to Micro center.. is that what it’s called?

[half gale]

how long have you had a pc for?

[formal lotus]

2.5 years~ just for Tarkov

[plush panther]

Keyboard&mouse can be a mess to figure out how to use, I know it first hand from my gf lol

[half gale]

you just gotta grind until muscle memory kicks in

[livid oxide]

Microcenter. My fave store. I was just there yesterday.

[formal lotus]

😁

[livid oxide]

I just walk around and dont buy anything since my rig will last for years

[formal lotus]

The IT guy I brought said “ this is a computer nerds wet dream” as he got outta the car ~ had to keep tracking him down in the store. He was in heaven

[half gale]

can some1 tag me when metal parts get pumped so i can sell, i got like 60 metal parts waiting

[formal lotus]

They’re at 30444 right now ~ gonna be a while

[half gale]

yea, i remember when they went for 100k

[livid oxide]

go to woods and get power filters

[half gale]

i have some but im not lvl 35 yet

they do go for like 600k

or usm

[livid oxide]

yea good money

[formal lotus]

I main woods~ love that map

[livid oxide]

if you need to make money invest in necrus pharmacy and ultra med keys

i get like 2-4 ledex and defibs all the time

or most of the time

[half gale]

i have trauma from getting sniped by shturman or his guards, woods bunker is 10/10 but if you get close to sawmill youre dead

or thats only me

[livid oxide]

nah shturman is easy. just go on dickhead rock or that hill with the duffle

[half gale]

yea but im only in woods for quests and not killing shturman, i might have a skill issue tho

[livid oxide]

the bosses used to just beam you like black division. now they're all reasonable.

[plush panther]

@formal lotus I could run a couple raids with you right now if you want to

[gusty reef]

"I'll just drop my heavy backpack at the entrance to the building, not like I'll find any 2x3 items and I have a 2x2 in my rig."

The suspiciously lion shaped unsearched box in the duffel bag:

[half gale]

bro reshala guards

i managed to kill them yesterday with ssa ap cause 3 of his guards had altyns

one with facemask

reshala is easy but his guards are on that braking bad crack

[lucid torrent]

Especially glucucks guards

[stiff scaffold]

those are aids to fight

[lucid torrent]

It’s really fun when they phase through unopened doors

[half gale]

yea they are on meth

[stiff scaffold]

I had a reshalla guard once phase through a wall

not even a door, a fucking wall

[lucid torrent]

“Realism” check

[half gale]

it is so releastic, tarkov number 1 realism game

nikita says atoms aligned perfectaly

[distant obsidian]

Lame

[distant obsidian]

When was that said

[half gale]

idk in my dream

[distant obsidian]

Yeah

[stiff scaffold]

if a hideout module says that is locked and is red, does it mean I can't build it yet?

despite having almost all the required items?

[lethal garnet]

there’s often more than just parts, some require other modules to be built first, sometimes certain trader levels, or skill levels too.

[jovial cobalt]

i'm sleepy.

[lethal garnet]

sometimes they pop up to be built when you have ALL items too

[formal lotus]

Sorry~ just seeing this

[plush panther]

all good

[stiff scaffold]

im like 3 items away from the solar panels and like 4 items away from scav case

[mossy blade]

looking at it actually its rlly unrealistic

like Tarkov CANNOT happen irl

[marble bronze]

Brother it's a game

[mossy blade]

yes but its said to be realistic

[marble bronze]

And realism isn't fun

[mossy blade]

tarkov isnt fun most of the time

for me it got bleak unless i went cultist hunting or went to terminal

like most of the time its finding items and doing storyline/quests

[marble bronze]

Then why do you play it

[mossy blade]

simpel, i have nothing else to play

like i also play resident evil

i play tarkov because its REWARDING, not fun

[marble bronze]

Millions of other games out there chief

[mossy blade]

it rewards you for what you did

[mossy blade]

that i cant afford currently

[marble bronze]

Many of which are free

[dreamy mantle]

my only gripe about tarkov is that there are tons of quests and some of those include finding items that are difficult to find or an event is happening which is reducing my ability to complete the quest(s) because of balancing changes or whatever. on the other hand, it is almost "never ending" which means there is always something to do; do i want to struggle to complete it is the question

[mossy blade]

i have most of these games, but eft's pain was more engaging than other game

[echo hamlet]

killed killa with an rpg and his armor is full hp #screenshots

[mossy blade]

probably legshot

[willow tinsel]

Cherish it

[mossy blade]

rpg deals horrendous damage

[willow tinsel]

While you have them

because i assure you, once youre done, for good, you will play less, waaaay less

[mossy blade]

i mean eft also has a lot of RNG locks

like finding that one FiR hideout item for story progression

AKA FUCKING PLIERS ELITE

[ivory marten]

anyone wanna bang out some checkpoint in arena?

[mossy blade]

??arena

[quasi apex]

Looking for Arena battle buddies? Head over to the Arena discord! https://discord.gg/EueARD5byy

[ivory marten]

I'm only asking because there was a few in here yesterday

[mossy blade]

oh then my nad

bad

does anyone have a method for the 15 PMCs around the mountain quest on Woods?

[stiff scaffold]

mine is that i've wanted to play this game since the pandemic and all I could do is watch content creators and that this game is unique

[dreamy mantle]

yeah, no matter how much i complain, i play every fuckin day lmao

and thats with 3 kids and 5 pets!

[stiff scaffold]

god damn

i've been playing the past few days just to get the 40 bitcoins for mechanic

gotten 36 in 4 days

and the bitcoin farm gave me one today

[bronze saddle]

turns out it was only 300m.... the headshot with the MTS255

yeah it took me a while cause i was doing THE PRICE OF INDEPENDENCE task

[teal egret]

ive been on lighthouse for like 6 hours and they aint spawned

last quest before collector

[warm breach]

anyone have a good idea for getting 4.6mm ammo?

[harsh tusk]

BSG has replied about the new rollback system bug that causes you to rollback for certain BTR tasks:

"According to the information we have, this is caused by a bug. You need to start a raid on Woods on our servers (please note that simply selecting our servers will NOT help). To do this, you must enter the location in a group or use a transit from another location. Information about this issue has already been passed on to the developers."

"You can also try to complete this quest on a local host, but keep in mind that you need to accept the quest and turn in the quest item in different raids."

So I guess if you select to play on their servers, you're still not on their servers?

[plush panther]

they were also my last quest before collector, I ran like 70 raids on lighthouse + customs and haven't seen them once, what worked for me is switching to BSG servers instead of local and going customs, found them literally in my second raid after doing that

I'm pretty sure something is just messed up with their spawning on local

[fervent peak]

Mechanic sells a bunch.

[marble bronze]

Buy it from Mechanic. Fmj sx is best he offers

[stiff scaffold]

i've seen the goons a lot in woods, but that map is the worst one to fight them

shoreline is decent

[gusty reef]

Customs >>> Shoreline > Lighthouse > Woods for gooning

[livid oxide]

this whole time I could've bought an rpg instead of running around on factory with impacts to get the art of explosion done lol

[jovial cobalt]

ive just been doing it in the factory bathroom works totally fine

[marble bronze]

Dunno, I'd rather fight em on lighthouse than shoreline...

[astral kindle]

100% this

[gusty reef]

I don't like LH only because they have multiple spawns and if they spawn at the base they actually have support from the rogues

they are pretty easy to kill if you approach from the side of the mountain with the building on shoreline

from the main road or resort is a death sentence though

[livid oxide]

Reshala's bunkhouse for gooning

[native osprey]

Used to be swimming in Chainlets. Now that I need 2- nowhere to be found.

[iron shoal]

did loot get nerfed overall in PVE relatively recently? since like December?

[gusty reef]

library?

[teal egret]

Thx

[native osprey]

Yep lol

[gusty reef]

felt.

I'm literally in the same situation I have everything else to make it LMAO

[plush panther]

I am yet to find a single electric drill. I only managed to upgrade weapon rack to 3 because I got one from the cultist circle 😭

[native osprey]

They're easier to find once you know where to look. I was going crazy looking for them for hideout upgrades until I learned where they spawn pretty regularly.

Interchange tech stores and scav camp were where I found all mine.

[plush panther]

spill the beans, I still need one

[native osprey]

Interchange

[plush panther]

aight bet

I'll look

[native osprey]

Go as scav, go into Oli, then right by Oli are 3 tech stores Texho, Rasmussen, and Techlight.

Then in the scav camp to the west, one of the tents has them sitting around.

I always find them out and about, not in a box.

[gusty reef]

I am officially done with over half of the main story tasks 💪

granted the ticket does take like 12 years

[stiff scaffold]

found 3 advanced current convertors back to back

those are quite rare in labs damn

[upbeat osprey]

does anyone have a list of keys worth keeping and opening?

trying to do some spring cleaning

[gusty reef]

rule of thumb to me is keep purple keys and check if normal ones are needed for quests

[upbeat osprey]

purple?

[gusty reef]

keys with the purple background

the "rarer" ones

[willow tinsel]

the only noteworthy key without it being a keycard or quest related or even marked rooms, would be PKPTS imo

[upbeat osprey]

that's like all of them? Not sure I ever saw that

[gusty reef]

most keys are like blue

honestly if you're in the position that you never take keys anywhere just keep reserve keys

sell everything else unless you need it for quests

[upbeat osprey]

well, I do use key sometimes, it depends

[stiff scaffold]

worth checking the wiki for any key that you find

[upbeat osprey]

lately haven't been using much since I was focused on farming cultists and goons

[willow tinsel]

there was a time in Tarkov, where Shoreline keys was actually worth opening

[upbeat osprey]

but if I swing by places like the dorms I take my dorms bag

like there are some ok rooms besides marked

definitely not all though

[stiff scaffold]

I think the only keys that are worth checking is 214, guard desk key in two story and marked

[fallen mason]

KPRL and Kiba outer sell for quite a bit.

[stiff scaffold]

PKPTS is a must to keep

[willow tinsel]

100%

[fallen mason]

Ez money if you coime across those.

[upbeat osprey]

iirc 214 or 220 was good

[stiff scaffold]

great key to find rare military tech and you need for future quests

[willow tinsel]

only key to everr have worthy loot

[upbeat osprey]

can't remember which one

[willow tinsel]

oh yeah but, in terms of actually opening

Besides using keys for quests, PKPTS is the ONLY key i used outside of questing

[upbeat osprey]

yeah nah, mostly interested in opening

cause price-wise I always sell the keys

[timid moat]

best place to find USEC armbands?

[upbeat osprey]

that I don't have favorited

[willow tinsel]

PMC

[upbeat osprey]

or that I have too many :D

my reserve bag is too thick

well, keychain

I need to prune some garbage keys

[willow tinsel]

i may have found USEC armband in a scavs backpack, but im quite sure he just looted a PMC

[upbeat osprey]

it's just a headache going through all the keys to see what's quest, what's valuable, what's useless

[stiff scaffold]

what are the chances of cultists in factory?

super low?

[timid moat]

alright, i've been looking for one for a hot minute, debating on just buying one from the flea LOL

[willow tinsel]

but, youll get the armband through a quest anyway @timid moat

[timid moat]

they're not too expensive but yk

[upbeat osprey]

it's an armband, just buy one :D

[gusty reef]

RBPKPTS and RB-ST

that's about it

and ofc the 3 marked

sorry wrong person

@upbeat osprey

[willow tinsel]

Which by the way, is the most annoying quest on PVE, Capturing Outposts

That one 100% gives you your faction armband

[upbeat osprey]

#screenshots message
these are my current keys (ish)

spares at least

other keys are in doc cases

those are just spares+reserve

[gusty reef]

yeah I would get rid of all of the reserve keys that aren't those two lol

[upbeat osprey]

some I still need I know for sure, cause quests

[gusty reef]

when I run reserve I just take all 3 marked keys and those two

[upbeat osprey]

I just need to go figure which ones and remark them with a quest icon

instead of the star

eh, I take the ones for the weather station

[summer zinc]

wtf man got error all my loot is gone from my backpack

[upbeat osprey]

they are not super good but it's ez loot on the way out

[carmine lantern]

I pretty much just base it off of how much they sell on the flea

[upbeat osprey]

and you get an odd cofdm or virtex, and some currency and whatnot

heh, that's not a bad benchmark tbh

that said flea sometimes is clueless

[carmine lantern]

and also if they're on routes I take

[upbeat osprey]

I know a couple keys that are cheap on flea but really good to have

[carmine lantern]

yea thats very fair

[upbeat osprey]

maybe it's time to get a sicc for reserve

[gusty reef]

this is how I do it most times until I'm looking for some ultra specific item and someone responds "__ key has like 5 billion super valuable stuff" and then I take it and realize I was missing out

[summer zinc]

got error 1000 didn't count any of my progress from the raid nice...

[willow tinsel]

i never got the use of a SICC

[upbeat osprey]

I always carry one now :D

I carry both a doc case and a sicc

[willow tinsel]

Docs is like a million if not a trillion times better

[gusty reef]

truth nuke

[upbeat osprey]

why not both

[willow tinsel]

why would you have both

Docs is enough for a whole run

[upbeat osprey]

what else do you carry in your secure lol

can't put ammo in there, survs go in equipment slots now

med kits on pve are cheap

[carmine lantern]

I have sicc case for tags/other valuables that can fit in there, and docs case for keys

[willow tinsel]

Docs, keytool, Keycard holder in Docs, Dogtags case, thats it

[gusty reef]

I carry a docs (with keycard holder), dogtag, injector, key tool, ibuprofen, and then emergency food and water in case I forget to put some in my bag lol

[jovial cobalt]

food and water until i find something to replace it with

[willow tinsel]

oh yeah injector case aswell

[willow tinsel]

that too

[upbeat osprey]

I carry docs, sicc, injector, tigzresq, golden star, and have 2 slots to spare

[gusty reef]

I started always putting food and water in my sec once I forgot some and then died because of it with a shit ton of high value loot one raid

[upbeat osprey]

if I'm going labs I add a keycard holder, if I'm going some areas I have a keychain for - I put that in

[stiff scaffold]

brother what the fuck is going on in factory, PMC scav and tagilla party in the middle

[gusty reef]

I used to carry a tigz but I never used it because I have an aluminum splint in my pocket

[stiff scaffold]

all 3 of them shooting at me

[gusty reef]

I had it for like a month before I used a single tick

[upbeat osprey]

I carry food in my 2 1x2s in the rig always

it's always 1 MRE and 1 Aquamari

[gusty reef]

I switch backpacks frequently and that's where I usually keep food and water

[upbeat osprey]

ah

[gusty reef]

so sometimes I forget to bring some

[upbeat osprey]

I started just loading lighter, so I always have room in my CPC

so started putting water and food in there

backpacks I rarely swap tbh

T30 is the best

[gusty reef]

I currently run an ANA M2 with a Partisan bag because it looks good

bear baseball cap to color match it all

[upbeat osprey]

I run CPC Mod.1 and T30 in camo

[carmine lantern]

its pve so I just bring the couch every time, or rush 100 if Ive died a few times

I am a hoarder

[gusty reef]

if the CPC was in multicam I would

[willow tinsel]

#screenshots message @upbeat osprey thats it, nothing else

[upbeat osprey]

I feel like bigger backpacks start looking silly, and on top of that a full T30 is about as much as I can reasonably carry out of a raid without popping mules

[carmine lantern]

im max str so I just pick up everything

[upbeat osprey]

yeah, just replace a keytool with a sicc

that's what I got

[whole birch]

i fucking hate arena

[willow tinsel]

oh yeah, the keycard holder in the doc

[whole birch]

i have not won in 7 ganes

[upbeat osprey]

yeah, I hate arena too

[willow tinsel]

But it takes 2 slots

[upbeat osprey]

same

[gusty reef]

#screenshots message

[upbeat osprey]

but what do you need 1x3 for

there's very few 1x3 items

[gusty reef]

cat

[willow tinsel]

For any valuable that i might find

Doesnt matter if its 3 1x1

[gusty reef]

see that's when you replace the water 😭

[willow tinsel]

Or 1 2x1 and 1 1x1

[upbeat osprey]

I dunno, I found I rarely even use secure for loot

so it doesn't really bother me that I have 1 slot less

[willow tinsel]

I do that too

[upbeat osprey]

this

[willow tinsel]

So in reality, food out, water out, i have way more space

[upbeat osprey]

found something good - eat and drink, 2x2 open

[carmine lantern]

just bring a rat cola or smthing

[willow tinsel]

ofc you replace the food and wateer

who keeps the food and water

youre going to drink and eat if you find something else

[upbeat osprey]

but yeah, I rarely use secure these days for storing loot

other than the stuff that goes in docs and siccs

[gusty reef]

same tbh

[upbeat osprey]

and injectors

so eh

I'll still toss a random metal parts in there when I'm running short on space or a GPU

[carmine lantern]

I only really use it for ledx

[upbeat osprey]

GPU is probably the only one of the few items I still put in there

LEDX would be the other yeah

rarely find both or more than one though

so 1x2 I find to be enough

[carmine lantern]

#screenshots message this one is mine

[upbeat osprey]

well ok, kappa is massive

if I had kappa I would definitely just carry food there as well

and maybe an extra doc

[gusty reef]

why do you mark everything you put in your case

[upbeat osprey]

I dunno at that point :D

defo 2nd injector is a good play

[gusty reef]

I take second injector to labs but nowhere else

[young frost]

same

[willow tinsel]

i mark the keytools for different maps

[upbeat osprey]

eh, my 1st injector usually has only 1 slot available

[willow tinsel]

thats about it

[gusty reef]

also negative points @carmine lantern why are your injectors cases not together

[upbeat osprey]

so I would carry a 2nd one for sure

[gusty reef]

organize yo damn box

[young frost]

well except for the boss event on reserve. went through quite a few stims in there

[carmine lantern]

yea the 2nd inject is just for labs but im too lazy to remove it

[upbeat osprey]

I still sometimes find weird bundles of injectors

[carmine lantern]

because I have the iq of a peanut so I keep the one with the 'good drugs I use' on the left, and the ones I pick up on the right, otherwise ill forget

[upbeat osprey]

very reasonable tbh

[gusty reef]

my friend and I would play it like a COD coverage mission where I sit up in the radar station with a .338 while he lures bosses into open areas for me to slam and does fighting from the buildings when he can't get them in the open

[upbeat osprey]

but yeah, I carry this mix #screenshots message

[carmine lantern]

and for marking w wishlist its just because I like the border, and for tagging, its because I have like 9 docs cases, for each map+ a few extra keys

[gusty reef]

you do NOT need that many stims brother 😭

[upbeat osprey]

so always good to have an extra case for spare etgs and other good stuff I find sometimes

[young frost]

the big brain move is a different sicc case for maps with a ton of keys and keeping the same docs case with money alll the time

[upbeat osprey]

already doing that :P

[upbeat osprey]

but I do :D

[young frost]

i miss it bro

[gusty reef]

actually thanks for reminding me I need to restock my propital

[upbeat osprey]

Trimadol + SJ6 + Melodonin + MULE you can haul ass with any kind of load

[carmine lantern]

I also keep a ton of stims just because I forget to restock between missions constantly

[upbeat osprey]

etg is obvious, extra propital is obvious, perfotoran is a lifesaver when you get those x2 heavy bleeds

[willow tinsel]

the only time i used stims by a fuckton, was at Terminal

[upbeat osprey]

also can just pop SJ6/Melodonin/Trimadol selectively if you spawn on the far end of the map and want to go fast

[gusty reef]

I pop maybe one stim every three raids

and it's usually a mule

[willow tinsel]

SAME

😂

[upbeat osprey]

I defo pop propitals almost every raid

[gusty reef]

I have three full medicine cases of JUST stims
I'm just a greedy jew

[upbeat osprey]

the rest are situational

[gusty reef]

I hate feeling like I wasted them

[upbeat osprey]

but Perfotoran saved my life many times by now

[willow tinsel]

Im like ''shit, we're closing to 70kg's time to MULE''

[upbeat osprey]

I ran into kollontai with my friend and his boys blacked all my limbs and put 3 heavy bleeds on me

[gusty reef]

I do pop propitals sometimes but it's not super super frequent

[upbeat osprey]

I just went prone in the corner, popped perfotoran and etg, and prayed to God

I ended up the only one walking out of that raid alive

[gusty reef]

I've popped an ETG once this month and it was at Lexos

[willow tinsel]

Kaban?

[upbeat osprey]

yeah, lexos is the other place I pop ETGs

[gusty reef]

yup

[upbeat osprey]

or goons

sometimes

sometimes new Reshala too

it's a bit rng

if they all decide to light you the fuck up, you'll need it

[gusty reef]

when I'm fighting the goons I either sweep all 3 with zero damage or I get my butthole gaped so hard I turn to dust and there is ZERO inbetween

I very rarely walk away from the goons having healed at all because the other situation is I'm dead

[upbeat osprey]

or they derp out and do nothing

[upbeat osprey]

same

it boils down to them deciding to come at me 1 at a time 5 seconds apart

vs them deciding to triplestack me

[toxic patio]

I SLAM propitol

I LOVE doing drugs

[upbeat osprey]

yeah, I pop props like candy

[young frost]

got spawncamped by them on lighthouse last night

[upbeat osprey]

these days I use prop more than medkit

[toxic patio]

I WILL hit every single stun I find in labs

[young frost]

they still couldnt get me lmao theyre such scrubs

[willow tinsel]

There was one time, where i got stressed out so much i didnt have the time to think to stim, it was goons on crackhouse side, Reshala on top floor, cultists at panda and they were rushing, i never clenched my a hole so hard

[upbeat osprey]

and carrying a backup prop gives you some latitude

imo much better to pop a prop to heal your 5 body parts that caught some crap buckshot from a scav across the map, then stand there bandaging 3 points worth of damage on each limb for 5 minutes

and ofc if the gunfight is getting a bit serious, pop a prop too

if it's getting real serious pop an etg :P

also 2A2 is lowkey good because it's basically a budget MULE

it saved me many mules

it will often push you over from losing stamina while walking to being just fine, or slowrunning to normal running

[willow tinsel]

nice weekly, hand in 250 million roubles

[fervent peak]

Are we competing in who has the heftiest stash of meds?
Opens THICC items case full of meds cases full of each type of stim I use + afaks and PKs

[upbeat osprey]

what the fuck

[upbeat osprey]

I just use like 5 med cases :D

[willow tinsel]

i couldve done it, had i not wasted them all on the last quests

[astral kindle]

Wtf, got pic of it?

[upbeat osprey]

that said 1 of them is for obnoxious quest injectors

[fervent peak]

16 med cases in a thicc items case, one etg, sj6, sj12, trim, mule, propital, zagustin, bloo blood, spare stims for each of those case, AFAK, Painkillers + splints, surv 12

Whatever left over is whatever I feel like filling it with

[willow tinsel]

oh nvm, it was just 20.5m roubles

[upbeat osprey]

not bad, but tbh redundant with a bunch of those

like I'd say perfotoran > zagustin

[astral kindle]

Ah, then its skier's "give 20m, get 1 random skill lvl"

[upbeat osprey]

in nearly every scenario

[fervent peak]

Zagustin was for the zoombie power hour, it's a just a leftover from then

[gusty reef]

least greedy skier quest

[upbeat osprey]

no idea about zombie stuff

[grim jungle]

Does suppressor loudness matter at all for AI?

[willow tinsel]

and its Attention which is already maxed, hell no

[gusty reef]

do you only keep stims you use? I collect them all like pokemon

including morphine for some reason

[fervent peak]

Zombies had a stupid high chance to cause heavy bleeds, which in turn gave you what was essentially rabies. Zagustin prevents bleeds, which prevents said rabies

Blue blood is only a 60 second duration. Zagustin is 180 seconds (for bleed prevention)

[upbeat osprey]

I mostly keep the ones I use, although I've been piling up some Obdolbos 2 and XTG-12 and SJ-9s

[upbeat osprey]

yeah, but you rarely need that

it's usually you popping it because you got a shitton of bleeds on you

[fervent peak]

I do not keep adrenaline (as propital does it better), morphine is just a painkiller in liquid form, and the other stims not in use are just stat boosters for stats I already had at elite

If I wanted to keep more stims, it would be odolbos 2 and 2a2

[upbeat osprey]

and by the 60 seconds mark the fight should be over, or at least the worst of it. Also blue blood heals you which is huge

[fervent peak]

Impossible with zombies, there was a constant stream, zagustin was the play at the time

[upbeat osprey]

I see

well, I was not around for that so no comment on my part :D

[fervent peak]

There were also pistol shooting zombies, which also had the same bleed chances and infection

[upbeat osprey]

in normal tarkov I would say blue blood is definitely better

[fervent peak]

Correct, it would be in that regard.

[upbeat osprey]

and it also works as antitoxin so if you run night raids it covers that too

[fervent peak]

Fortunately zombies did not have toxin effects, that would be killer

[upbeat osprey]

heh, well, cultists do :P

[fervent peak]

Eh, I don't get stabbed, at all for that matter

[upbeat osprey]

I mostly don't, but sometimes do

[gusty reef]

should I finish They Are Already Here or The Unheard next

[fervent peak]

Both

[upbeat osprey]

and it's nasty enough to carry something to cure it

[willow tinsel]

Unheard

[gusty reef]

alright

[willow tinsel]

Just to get that timegate away

[gusty reef]

those are my last two side chapters aside from Batya that I don't have intel 3 for

[upbeat osprey]

I kinda do wish SICC could carry all the doc case stuff too :\

[gusty reef]

I'm probably already past the timegate I'm about halfway through both lol

nvm no I am not I just checled

good call

[willow tinsel]

So you met Kerman before right

if so thats only 3 hours u need to wait

if not its about 12 - 24 hours

[gusty reef]

met kerman as in for the ticket?

or do you talk to him during the unheard

[upbeat osprey]

aight, I guess I go hunt more goons

enough lollygagging

[willow tinsel]

just as, did he contact you, if you did its just 3 hours

[gusty reef]

I've spoken to him yes if that's what you mean

I'm at the lightkeeper part of ticket

[willow tinsel]

Well, if you met Kerman before, you talk to him during Unheard, if not you need to wait for mechanic to get back to you

then yeaa you only need to wait 3 hours beefore kerman contacts you through that quest

[gusty reef]

fire

[upbeat osprey]

I'm postponing LK cause I want to kill Zryachi a bunch :\

[willow tinsel]

i kinda regret i didnt take that way, i just wanna know what he says to you

but youtube is there

[upbeat osprey]

but maybe I should go do LK and just do the make up quest later

[gusty reef]

I'll let you know when I get there 😭

[gusty reef]

I waited until I finished Snowball then started ticket

[willow tinsel]

thanks, because its very nieche to search for on youtube

[gusty reef]

idc about zryiachiy otherwise

[upbeat osprey]

that's my plan

snowball, then a couple more for his mask

so I have backups

[gusty reef]

I was lowkey pissed when I finished snowball and realized I need to be like level 45 and rep .6 to buy the shirt

[upbeat osprey]

actually just miss big pipe for snowball RNG bosses

once I get big pipe I can go do all the regulars

[gusty reef]

I only start trying for snowball once I kill partisan because he takes the longest

[upbeat osprey]

I just got partisan done

[gusty reef]

Then I do Kaban -> Kollontay -> Goons -> Killa -> everyone else is lowkey free and not a problem

[upbeat osprey]

yeah, maybe, I'm doing it with a friend

so will just go with the order he wants

[willow tinsel]

What ending you going for @gusty reef ?

[gusty reef]

Savior, that's why I'm doing all the side stories

I honestly just love the lore and the integrated storytelling of Tarkov

so I want to do Savior to experience it all

[willow tinsel]

Shiieet, remember that flash drive, dont be like Niami

[gusty reef]

which flash drive

[willow tinsel]

Youll seee

[gusty reef]

[fervent peak]

oooooof

[willow tinsel]

No spoiler, but its in They Are Already Here

[gusty reef]

WHICH FLASH DRIVE

oh

[glacial summit]

Someone can tell me or give me a tips to complete more efficiency the task for Ragman with the Gzhel-k between 0-50% durability... it takes so many times! 😅

[gusty reef]

ohhhh I know the one, I was looking at the wiki for the chapter since I'm like one objective behind that and I am absolutely stressing about the big red box telling me if I mess up I'm locked out of the ending lol

[willow tinsel]

And apperently, the reason they failed Savior during that, was because they were on Local servers, or so they say

So, better be safe than sorry and tick BSG server on

I wouldnt question it

[gusty reef]

I'll keep that in mind

I'm at the part where you find and restore the pass because I grabbed it and then got cocky and died with it

so I need to go back and grab it again, I just haven't felt like going to lighthouse

[willow tinsel]

i know that feeling

[gusty reef]

sorry lighthouse not shoreline

[willow tinsel]

more like, i know the feeeling of somehow for whatever reason i turn off my power, so i hadd to recollect the quest items again

[upbeat osprey]

after my attempts at farming goons I'd do them first lol

bloody wankers are dodging me

worse rng than partisan

and they are actually threatening sometimes

kaban is defo hard

kollontay I'd say I'm not too scared of

Killa is a jumpscare master :D

everyone else is indeed free

[gusty reef]

Kaban is imo the scariest boss in the game
because you fight him entirely on his turf

you have to bait his own emplacements off and run INTO HIS BASE with NO fallback and then hide in a container from him and his entire Grand Army of the Republic who are ALL willing to suicide bomb you for Pakistan

[upbeat osprey]

there is fallback

you just need a right key

[livid oxide]

scariest boss is Killa cause he always jump scares me since he can be anywhere on the mall

[upbeat osprey]

yeah, I'd say sneaky Killa is scarier

[gusty reef]

the key dropped by Kaban, so it's a free fallback once you win at least once ✌️😭

[fair dawn]

I farm kaban as he is one of THE MOST reliable bosses in terms of how his ai and his guards AI works

[upbeat osprey]

the key is on flea, cheap

[gusty reef]

oh I honestly didn't realize that

I have like 5 of them now though

[grim jungle]

Killa used to be scary to me but he's not, granted I've killed him 104 times now...
He's still my #1 favorite boss cause his aura is uncontended

[gusty reef]

Killa has so much aura

[stiff scaffold]

or tagilla popping out of nowhere

[livid oxide]

Killa is easy to kill. Just the most unpredictable out of all the bosses.

[upbeat osprey]

eh, tagilla you can hear from afar

[gusty reef]

Tagilla has asthma bruh he ain't surprising noone

[grim jungle]

Tagilla is scarier but like a magdump in the face with sorta decent ammo and he's not that bad
Shadow of Tagilla on the other hand, he's a different story.

[stiff scaffold]

there are scenarios where im running so I can't hear him breathing

[upbeat osprey]

killa is easy, but not when he is squatting behind a random box #543235 in the middle of a random corridor

[stiff scaffold]

so he's around the corner and jumpscares me

[upbeat osprey]

yeah, only times I die to killa is when I turn a corner and he's squatting there, waiting

[gusty reef]

Labyrinth is the most stressful thing ever

not because it's hard it's just such a terrifying atmosphere to be trapped in with Tagilla and a Killa who spawns the exact frame you kill the other one

I jump a little STILL every time the alarm starts blaring

[willow tinsel]

Lex, do you bring the recorder with you

[upbeat osprey]

I'll do laby when I finish snowball :D

[gusty reef]

yes but I wait until I'm somewhere safe to play the tapes and really pay attention to them

[grim jungle]

I'd say Labs is more stressful but Labrys is more fun
I really wish there were more Labyrinthian spawns in PvE though. After you kill the first group, you're completely free to do whatever for a while

[willow tinsel]

based

gotta juice those voicelines

[gusty reef]

labs isn't stressful to me, on the contrary it's kind of free
maybe that's just because I run it so much though

[upbeat osprey]

I just wish there was a reliable goons spawn

[gusty reef]

labyrinth I run like once a month and the atmosphere itself is stressful

[upbeat osprey]

I'm so tired of this shit

[grim jungle]

I run it a lot, but it's easier to mess up because the elevation can be awkward at times

[gusty reef]

the biggest mistake you can make on labs is not being on the second floor in a gunfight ✌️

[pseudo kayak]

cant even use the flea till fucking level 15!!!

[grim jungle]

yeah, also fighting Raiders across the main rooms is scary if you don't have a magnified optic

[stiff scaffold]

labs is easy unless you get stormed by more than 3 raiders at once

dealing with pmcs is easy

[willow tinsel]

Hows the wipe going for you

[pseudo kayak]

wait can i buy every gun at level 15 off flea or

[fair dawn]

And even then you cant even buy 80% of the shit on flea LOL

[pseudo kayak]

ive been employed, havent played since yday after tut

[gusty reef]

carbines and like shotguns

no assault rifles until 20 or 25

[fair dawn]

wGuns are at lvl 20 and or 25

[pseudo kayak]

tx15 time it is!

[gusty reef]

lowkey carbines might be level 20

[willow tinsel]

sexy sounding gun

[pseudo kayak]

im gonna murder u lexon

[gusty reef]

my bad 😭

[fervent peak]

Me using a pp19 for mastery reasons

[gusty reef]

it's been a while okay

[willow tinsel]

i should honestly do the same

[gusty reef]

I like running the PP19 as a backup to a sniper rifle

[pseudo kayak]

do i have to retype the codes

[gusty reef]

like the M700 and a PP19

[pseudo kayak]

??codes

[quasi apex]

Redeem your goodies → https://www.escapefromtarkov.com/promo/activate (Or launcher → your name → activate code)
SBEUKOMAR | SCAVYBOI | GOONSQUAD | LIGHTSOUT | PAY2WIN | ELVISVISTA | INEEDSPACE | HOLDMYMETA

[pseudo kayak]

can i even get these

again

i cannot

[gusty reef]

I want some cool M4 builds

[pseudo kayak]

do my presets for weapons save??

[gusty reef]

I dunno I don't make presets

probably not

wait I can check

[pseudo kayak]

aw crud

[gusty reef]

I think I made one last time I wiped

[torpid bluff]

they get lost when you wipe

[pseudo kayak]

first time wiping, kinda nervous

[gusty reef]

they do not save

can confirm

[pseudo kayak]

first time wiped kinda nervous might delete l8er

[torpid bluff]

You got this

[swift path]

youre wiping pve accont?

whys that?

[crystal oyster]

They want different ending

[carmine lantern]

most of the time, but sometimes depending on the amount of guards, more can spawn in later, and they always scare the shit out of me

[gusty reef]

I wipe mine frequently just because I get bored of "perfecting" everything
I love using bad guns and running zero to hero

gives me something to do

[carmine lantern]

I still wish there would be pmc's or something spawning into labrys

[viral swallow]

why the game take so longg to load

[carmine lantern]

but I remember a little bit ago I saw a scav spawn right in front of me with an uzi and try to ice me, while I was looting

[willow tinsel]

#screenshots message here you go

[gusty reef]

thanks I actually like that

I'll run it to labs

[willow tinsel]

[gusty reef]

BSG please for the love of God add rail covers and my life is yours

just some nice KAC covers

I want to make cool vintage builds

[pseudo kayak]

I got my ending, I want svior

[gusty reef]

which did you do before?

[pseudo kayak]

i got fucked out of savior and did survivor

[gusty reef]

I heard about that 😭

[swift path]

[odd gale]

I just dread doing assetment

[gusty reef]

assessment is so easy

[odd gale]

Smart

[upbeat osprey]

I'm getting close to having x2 of each marked key :D

[gusty reef]

literally 3/4 of the map counts for assessment

[odd gale]

Just the kills are annoying

[upbeat osprey]

still no streets keys, but got x2 of all reserve I think

[odd gale]

Also not everyone in my group can run lighthouse yet

[upbeat osprey]

and x1 of customs

[gusty reef]

praying for you

get it right this time

[upbeat osprey]

just a few more cultists

[gusty reef]

I have at least 6 of each key, and 8 of each of the reserve ones

actually I only have 3 chek 13

[willow tinsel]

[jovial cobalt]

[upbeat osprey]

I have 2160 BT for 5.45, wtf to do with all that :D

[fair dawn]

What damn quest do i need to do before i get to the Kill Schturman quest? Ive already got Tagilla and Reshalla quests done. Working on the Dorms PMC one now

[upbeat osprey]

I guess I'll make mechanic happy today

[willow tinsel]

[upbeat osprey]

[fair dawn]

Very first one lol

[jovial cobalt]

ty

[willow tinsel]

The Huntsmans Path - Secured Perimeter

[warped imp]

Has anyone else had the issue of the Lightkeeper Figurine not staying Examined? This is like the 4th time I've had to do that to the little guy

[pseudo kayak]

wait wait for tour, survive and extract from there or visit 3x as survive and extract ONCE? or does it mean do either/or 3x

[jovial cobalt]

either or

survive and extract or die on the map 3 times

[weary ice]

therapissing all over the floor am i right

[warped imp]

Shut up lol

[jovial cobalt]

im reffing my fence until i skier

[pseudo kayak]

so what's the point of surviving and extracting 3x when i could just die 3x wouldn't it be quicker

oh wait

survive and extract ONCE

or die 3x

[jovial cobalt]

precisely

since people would get stuck if they couldn't survive a single time

[weary ice]

the(rapist) approves of this

[soft hare]

I did everything on local for my story, that's bs

[willow tinsel]

well, time to point out Niami did something wrong and that wasnt the case

[pseudo kayak]

😭

[pseudo kayak]

well I went over it with Xyph a 6x prestiger

exactly what I did

he was there

you can call me a liar if you want

I kept repeating what I did

and ill say it again

[timid moat]

i gave up looking for the armband and decided to buy it on the flea
only to forget i'm level 24 LMAO

[pseudo kayak]

1st raid - swipe keycard to get in, turn on power, cooling fan, pick up mixtape, plug in drive, leave

[timid moat]

sometimes i regret wiping for 1.0 💔

[pseudo kayak]

played mixtape in between

[gusty reef]

therapist genuinely my biggest opp for demanding like 500k or a mil or whatever it was at the start of wipe

[pseudo kayak]

2nd raid, swiped card to get in, turned on power, read the note, clicked the button

[gusty reef]

that really fucks you up man

[pseudo kayak]

WHEN I CLICKED THE BUTTON, THE OBJ FAILED FOR ME

[timid moat]

FUCK THAT BIH ‼️

[fervent peak]

I wish we didn't need to wipe, but whatever. Said goodbye to 5bil worth of crap

I believe it was 250k for Therapist

[distant obsidian]

Same

[timid moat]

literally, i'm only now getting back into tarkov so i'm slowly building my shit back

[pseudo kayak]

if you dont believe I did all that you can continue to call bullshit and call me a liar idc to explain myself or my sequence of actions

after stressing about whether or not i did it right i was confirmed to have done everything correctly

[fervent peak]

I miss my 200k of assorted bullets

[distant obsidian]

Idk, it wasn't that much

[fervent peak]

Should've just went to town in factory with a BS loaded pkp

[distant obsidian]

But I also had that 10k usd for w.e by level 9 to.

Money is easy as fuck in tarkov

[timid moat]

i've been blowing fence for all my shit for the past like two weeks LOL

[pseudo kayak]

I'm willing to record it if it happens again but I will NOT be doing my next run of they are alr here on local, I will be doing it on bsg

I never said it was 100% going to happen if you did it on local either

and let's just fall under the belief of, "It didn't happen to me so it's not possible."

[distant obsidian]

I did mine as a duo. Not sure who I was with though

[pseudo kayak]

I wouldn't appreciate if it happened again, i'm doing everything differently to actively avoid it from happening again but if it were to happen again, I will have recording this time

[dire whale]

Whats the best way to farm cultists rn

[astral kindle]

Customs

[pseudo kayak]

go to customs nighttime

[dire whale]

Where do they spawn

[astral kindle]

[pseudo kayak]

they spawn on the map

[jovial cobalt]

customs stronghold

[gusty reef]

wait I thought you failed it because you forgot the flashdrive

[pseudo kayak]

????

[timid moat]

what will happen first (trying to find a usec armband)
a. i'll reach level 30 and buy them on the flea
b. find one in raid
c. get one off of fence
d. get it in the task

[dire whale]

whats the wiki

[gusty reef]

what happened?

[pseudo kayak]

I clicked the button

[astral kindle]

On the land to be extra specifict

[pseudo kayak]

that's what fucking happened

talking about it pisses me off

[jovial cobalt]

eft wiki has all the information abt the game that anyone generally needs

[pseudo kayak]

being called a liar pisses me off lowkey

[distant obsidian]

I mean they do phase in from the ground

So under maybe lol

[jovial cobalt]

it says where cultists spawn in on customs for example
but they spawn around stronghold

[willow tinsel]

no, its unknown to us, its all speculation at this point, since Niami did what you were meant to do

[gusty reef]

interesting

once I get to the timegate for Unheard I'll go do that ig

[willow tinsel]

hence why i said, better be safe than sorry, and i wouldnt question it, didnt happen to me but again, im not an expert in bugs since i didnt encounter it myself

[gusty reef]

wait it says I failed part of the unheard "obtain rzhevsky's personal belongings"

was that not the hard drive

or is my thing just bugged

[astral kindle]

If you have HDD from the car, you can just ignore that "failure"

[willow tinsel]

it says on mine too, dw

[gusty reef]

okay thank you

had me scared for a sec

[distant obsidian]

Some things are also meant to fail

Like on tour it fails because you were trying to escape and couldnt

[timid moat]

oh, right, i asked this before but didn't quite get a clear answer
i'm stuck on friends from the west part 2, and i need a good way to make usd.
i haven't unlocked peacemaker so that's an issue LOL

[fair dawn]

sell guns - didnt meant to have you tagged here

[weary ice]

how have you not unlocked peackeper bro 😭

[timid moat]

I WIPED FOR 1.0 ‼️

[gusty reef]

well it was literally "find his personal belongings" and there was a hard drive sitting on the center console and that sounds like a personal belonging

[timid moat]

it's been ages since i haven't had traders unlocked, it feels so weird LOL

[willow tinsel]

you good Judge

[gusty reef]

then you don't until you get PK lol

you kinda need him for USD

[weary ice]

just do the tour

hes like one of the first you get

[gusty reef]

meh
that's just meta building

[distant obsidian]

Model 1 upper is more recoil

[stiff scaffold]

having to check on the goons while doing nighttime raid on LH is stressing

[distant obsidian]

Also wtf is that ergo. You giving up like 40 ergo for 4 points of recoil. Shit

[stiff scaffold]

I killed bideye and I thought he was a scav wow

[distant obsidian]

#weapon-modding message

Those are well built m4s

[gusty reef]

the build is not tyreall approvied

[distant obsidian]

Not at all

Ax15 upper is probably meta.

Or model 1 for max recoil

All you other parts... Well they hardly matter

[gusty reef]

I just run M4s for looks

who gaf about meta builds

[distant obsidian]

Yeah, you can build killer builds and they look cool

You can do both

I posted 3 completely different builds that all perform the same within a point

[gusty reef]

they are meta, I'm not saying they aren't lol

[distant obsidian]

Mine are not no

I have some meta parts yes

But you can do a better muzzle and stock for all of those builds

[fair dawn]

Do we really care about meta builds on PVE?

[distant obsidian]

But I think they look like ass

[distant obsidian]

Are you fucking reading what I am typing or just being ignorant? Lol

[gusty reef]

I don't, when I run an M4 I kit it like we're still pre 2010

[distant obsidian]

Neither of my builds are meta.

[fair dawn]

Tyreall - you of all people should know im being sarcastic lol

[distant obsidian]

But that doesn't mean you can't build a good gin AND have irl ook cool

[distant obsidian]

Fuck your right

[willow tinsel]

if your aim is potato and go for meta, im not going to judge, at the end of the day, its your game anyway

[distant obsidian]

Good call. My bad man

[rancid tundra]

Tyreanal is bithing again? Some things are never changes

[fair dawn]

Im literaly The Judge Rhys, its what i do... cant help it

[distant obsidian]

But yeah, you can use good parts and also build like 10 different m4s that all do the same thing

[willow tinsel]

You got a point, you win

[gusty reef]

mfs will argue about good part usage and I have a Tx15 with an RAS handguard, bipod I never use, and KAC foregrip

[distant obsidian]

Sure, and I will say it's stupid.

[gusty reef]

and objectively it is, but I use it because I think it looks cute and vintage

and so I like it

[distant obsidian]

And I will also say that's perfectly fine lol

People forget that when I say a gun is bad, it's not an insult.

[fair dawn]

But he will give you shit for it

[distant obsidian]

I'm just commenting on what I see.

[gusty reef]

would you rather view a visual build that has piss poor stats or the build of a meta gamer who doesn't understand that stats have changed in the last 3 years

kollontay lightwork lowkey

last time I went to streets to check him out I just brought a full rig of grenades

smoked out his entire building

[willow tinsel]

last time i killed Kollontay

i gave him and his whole squad a rocket launcher

one blast from RShG, was well worth it

[gusty reef]

I swear I'm going schizo

I just heard my cat meow and looked down and there was nothing there

[young frost]

it was the hideout cat

[gusty reef]

I wish we could get pets in hideout

I would love to have a kitty just walking around

[young frost]

i wish i could load profile data

[main eagle]

I’m out of tarkov boys and gals! See you on the other side

[gusty reef]

[main eagle]
