[vale atlas]

And because its tarkov it knows you want one so you wont see it until you've basically given up

[spark badger]

is the chances of cultest higher on factory bc of the event?

[dense sentinel]

no

[spark badger]

oh alright ty!

[torpid lodge]

Isit really level 30 to unlock labs key cards and good scopes and silencers?

[swift path]

on flea? sounds about right

[torpid lodge]

Yea man

[vapid cape]

Bascially yeah, you just find a ton of loot and go put in marked rooms for PmCs to find

[fallen bone]

I'm just looking for new gamer, buddies to run it with

[rotund talon]

They need to do smth abt kill in exact place tasks

They are really hard to find pmcs inside most of those areas

[steel heath]

My squad all have broadcast part 5, myself included. One priest. 5 dudes.

[rotund talon]

Btw is it normal that i cant play solo on bsg servers?

[compact kiln]

same boat mate im stuck on that one ive ran customs constantly at night and cant find him

[raw nest]

They can't

[marble bronze]

Sure they can

They can fix bot pathing to prefer quest locations

[magic yacht]

Or in some cases they could change the tasks altogether

[limpid venture]

I got cultists 3 times back to back yesterday, keep going

[balmy nova]

didnt know where the dorms extract was and got rained down by bullets gg

[raw nest]

Been there for a while

[loud raptor]

Rain water is better

[sand rune]

Anyone wanna run some factory duo in PvE to farm up some exp?

[raw nest]

#pve-lfg

[sand rune]

[loud raptor]

I still havent died during the new event, the cleaning crew doesn’t clean much

[dense sentinel]

I've died a few times not too bad overall though its fun soaking up all this good ammo and low dura weapons with decent attachments to repair

[livid oxide]

dw guys. icebreaker coming soon. nikita posted a pic.

[raw nest]

That is a huge hype

[livid oxide]

yes I want to fight black division and get their gear this time

[raw nest]

I'm tired of camping Fence

[livid oxide]

fence has them???

[raw nest]

I bought two pairs of bd nvgs from Fence

[livid oxide]

[raw nest]

Yea those are rare and obtained legally

so kinda huge

[livid oxide]

how do you even extract with them

[gloomy gate]

Where do he post?

[livid oxide]

twitter

[raw nest]

I didn't extract, I bought them from Fence

[swift path]

its always teitter

[gloomy gate]

Ok I’ll check it ty

[livid oxide]

how did people get them legally to sell

[summer zinc]

well well finally we have acces to upgrade or game via steam they finally did it

[swift path]

im told scav case can find those nv, sometimes on pmcs too

but i never found it

[raw nest]

I don't know but I have video proof in case anyone asks lol

[reef furnace]

Are they any better than the quadnods

Or just added for the drip

[swift path]

from what i know, the view is more clear, and colour is better since its not that green

[distant obsidian]

No

They are exactly the same as the blue ones we have in game with slightly more fov

[reef furnace]

Mmmm

[swift path]

sounds about right

[reef furnace]

Bummer

[distant obsidian]

I don't use quads anymore. I only use the blue ones

It's what I used in terminal as well. When I swapped over to the BD ones, it looked nearly identical. No extra clarity at all lol

[reef furnace]

I would use the quadnods more often if there was the white phosphorous variant

[distant obsidian]

So if you want bd NVGs. Just use the blue ones we got.

[distant obsidian]

The green is just hard to look at. Blue is easier and I also find the lights directly at it are not as bad

[raw nest]

Yes because they are lighter overall

[reef furnace]

Interesting

[reef furnace]

Yeah looking at green to much makes my eyes fatigue

[distant obsidian]

Can't say I've ever considered nvg weight when kitting

[distant obsidian]

Use the blues. Your eyes will thank you

[cyan sphinx]

finally got my game to download properly.

[distant obsidian]

O, I finally got all my thousands of go coins transferred. Then they just increase all transfer limits lol

[raw nest]

Yup

[reef furnace]

First time moving from the bsg launcher to steam?

(I mean it still opens the launcher you get what im trying to say)

[distant helm]

whats the strat for this event?

[cyan sphinx]

no. but i understand.. never bought it on steam and had to basically download the files and put them in a seperate folder in my C drive. then started the repair process for 2 - 3 hours

[raw nest]

Don't peek the same angle twice

[reef furnace]

Farm stuff and gp coins

[distant helm]

i meant how to kill the cleanup crew

[reef furnace]

Also this

[reef furnace]

Just use regular AP ammo

They mostly wear tier 3 to tier 4 armor

[distant helm]

yeah i know

[reef furnace]

They got the health poll of a regular scav surprisly

[distant helm]

but where can i find them

[reef furnace]

Around the whole map of factory

They spawn in packs too

[astral kindle]

They are scavs of factory

[distant helm]

i know but everytime i go outside of the office i get ganged up on

and they come nowhere near the office

[reef furnace]

Also quick tip

Bring a ronin respirator

Or any tier 4+ helmet that covers your entire head

They tend to randomly aim for it

Specially the ones with 7.62x51 BCP

[cyan sphinx]

that pens usually T3 helms right? the 7.62x51

[reef furnace]

Yep

36 pen

Or was it 37

[cyan sphinx]

jesus.

[reef furnace]

I forgot

[cyan sphinx]

i'll check quickly

[reef furnace]

But it goes around those numbers

[distant helm]

or you just get unlucky and one of them has m993

[reef furnace]

Cleaning crew usually uses fmj ammo like 556 fmj or 762 fmj

But sometimes they use high tier AP rounds like 545 bp and 762x51 m61

[cyan sphinx]

getting parts in factory gonna be a pain especially for hideout

[reef furnace]

Also SPP or SP6

[distant helm]

the high durability guns have better ammo

i looted a full hp as val with sp6

[reef furnace]

Or those on their backs in general

[distant helm]

yep

[west juniper]

well. only 5/15 for return the favor... I've been at it for like 5 hours I believe ?

[still fulcrum]

1 kill per hour, solid

[west juniper]

uh. did like half the first hour.

now it's just suffering

[still fulcrum]

Lightkeeper quests my beloved

[open delta]

I’m so close to get to Lightkeeper

[still fulcrum]

I have to find the dongle thingy bur also means playing LH

[open delta]

You need to go to water treatment for that

[livid oxide]

i'm 2slimey

[still fulcrum]

it can spawn in chalets

and also the store near WTP

[white yacht]

are the bosses still spawning at 12 minutes left on factory?

[still fulcrum]

They should? event ends today iirc

[white yacht]

they extended it to may 5th

[cyan sphinx]

hey. is the vpo any good?

[still fulcrum]

oh yeah true

[still fulcrum]

which of the 3

[valid folio]

XD

[cyan sphinx]

Vpo-101 Vepr-hunter

just am doing a scav run to remember the controls

[still fulcrum]

oh

I mean, yeah? if it wasnt scav grade and also had a scope

scav grade as in not 30 durability

[cyan sphinx]

i mean it has a reflex sight on it

[still fulcrum]

check MOA

[cyan sphinx]

7.15

[astral kindle]

Yeah you wont hit side of barn with that

[fervent peak]

There is SO much to unpack about how 'good' a gun is

[cyan sphinx]

so practically useless thanks. not being salty being serious

[still fulcrum]

Yeaaah VPOs are usually just low tier stuff

[cyan sphinx]

so just get the parts on it and sell the rest.

[still fulcrum]

Even then it wont grant you much money lol

what map did u go to

[cyan sphinx]

GZ. need a awl to make a laboritory for backpacks and other stuff. PVE mode for me is behind so i'm grabbing the parts to lvl up my hideout

[still fulcrum]

Aah

GZ does give stuff, but i cannot recommend streets than GZ, given that both maps are ok for mats cus they have lots of technical crates and cabinets

but streets also has many more valuable spawns

[cyan sphinx]

fair. but i'm returning after 2 months and GZ for me is kinda my comfort area..

[still fulcrum]

Makes sense

It took me months to even wanna try streets consistently, and its just very nice

[swift path]

wait, gz worth looting?

[cyan sphinx]

honestly.. no not worth

[still fulcrum]

if u just need constructions materials, yea

[cyan sphinx]

besides that

[still fulcrum]

otherwise streets is just GZ but valuables, 2 bosses and ammo

[cursive summit]

I usually use ground zero for some tech stuff, snd cause I know the map and not as bad as streets I use GZ instead of streets

[still fulcrum]

well yea, gz is much smaller so better framerate n stuff

[marsh wing]

@distant obsidian TOMORROW

[reef furnace]

IB looks like a merge between labs and the water treatment plant from LH

[marsh wing]

Or, or

It looks like a boat

[rapid urchin]

finding these stupid drills is so annoying 💔

[still fulcrum]

nor

[loud raptor]

Icebreaker reference?

[still fulcrum]

i find them kinda often (cabinets my beloved)

[cyan sphinx]

like the hand drills?

[rapid urchin]

oh those bastards.. i understand that

whats best place to seach for the cofdm transmitters i need em to get access to lightkeeper 🙂

[cyan sphinx]

just realize i could have bought the items from the flea market.

[loud raptor]

I’d say reserve

[fervent peak]

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

[compact kiln]

ive searched them places mate had no luck

[fervent peak]

Then iunno, TRY AGAIN

[raw nest]

That

[fervent peak]

Pull the god damn slot machine lever

[proper harness]

i have an oddly specific question... do you guys know if i go into a raid at say 21:45, as in, im IN the raid at that time, and then the time turns 22:00, if i can then get cultists to spawn? or do i have to deploy after 22:00?

[clear mesa]

PKPTS on reserve im literally farming them rn for the same thing XD, found 5 in 6 raids so far

[marble bronze]

Cultists can spawn any time

[proper harness]

what @clear mesa said, or labs/lighthouse

[proper harness]

huh? i thought it was 22:00-06:00

[cyan sphinx]

i thought cultists can spawn at night time..

[fervent peak]

He means they spawn in any time between 22:00 and 6:00

[proper harness]

gotcha

[fervent peak]

As for the COFDMs, I have linked the item itself, there is a MASSIVE list of where you can find them

[proper harness]

and, in that same sense, do they literally disappear once time hits 06:00?

[south cobalt]

yes

[fervent peak]

The wiki has majority of the answers you seek

[loud raptor]

Yeah normally items on the wiki have a big list of it’s spawns

[proper harness]

ok thanks

[fervent peak]

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

[raw nest]

They force despawn at 7:05

[fervent peak]

If you want mroe cultist info

[proper harness]

okay thanks @fervent peak. though, i am lazy and usually getting an answer here is easier lolol

[gloomy gate]

Best map for farming them then

[fervent peak]

I assure you, you're better off using your brain more often than just hoping someone else does it for you. It'll be good for you overall. Think of it as eating your vegetables.

[proper harness]

so, thanks for taking the time to answer me, guys. @gloomy gate i have the best luck farming cultists on customs, always from crackhouse to fortress, and from fortress to "panda," warehouse

[proper harness]

i hear ya. though i enjoy helping ppl as well, and asking questions here allow me to help people at the same time

[cyan sphinx]

debaiting on which map to go to. either woods or customs

[vernal spindle]

Why tf are sj12's half a mil fml

[fervent peak]

DE BAITING

[open delta]

Sj9

[raw nest]

[proper harness]

@vernal spindle cause they are pretty rare. usually only can be found on labs. that, and the fact that they are tremendously useful

[fervent peak]

Don't answer further just yet

@vernal spindle Let's go through this one by one. What are the stats of an SJ12?

[cyan sphinx]

either i go to woods and knock off the shipping delay and helping hand but run into that bush man dude or go to customs and do operation aqarius and provide viewership

[vernal spindle]

Sj12's are just my go to for long runs

Now im being price gouged lol

[fervent peak]

Now think about how often people are using this with the current event

[compact kiln]

ill try it out m8 thank you 😄

[fervent peak]

Get stomached? lose energy/water. But I want more high end boolets. Don't have time to eat. Use stim instead

[proper harness]

same. and they are debatably the most useful. another huge useful one are MULES. not a lot of people think this way, but MULES are the best stim to help level endurance an easy way... whenever im strength elite and trying to get endurance elite, i always go into a raid RIGHT under being overweight, start looting, and the second i go overweight, pop a MULE, which will put you underweight again. it lasts a long time, too

[worthy otter]

@rare field surely icebreaker tomorrow

[cyan sphinx]

what's icebreaker

[rotund talon]

Well there is ton of them at his place xD

[rotund talon]

U wish

[compact kiln]

lmao maybe i can jump and dive over the claymores and zrhaicky or however u spell his fucking name 🤣

[cyan sphinx]

a new map? (also thanks Kame 🙂 )

[rotund talon]

Nah but best way is to go reserves

There is most ammount of spawns

[compact kiln]

yeah headed there now so fingers crossed just spent the last 2 hours on stream hunting down sthurman as i need 7 quests for the kappa container

[manic pewter]

would completely derail my plans of doing a civ 5 campaign with some buddies

[raw nest]

Same here

I got a date tomorrow

[proper harness]

anyone remember when cultists made 0 footstep sounds? same as birdeye. lol

[raw nest]

Was fun

[proper harness]

pssh. was scary

[valid folio]

they dont make footstep sounds

[raw nest]

They do

[valid folio]

really

[raw nest]

Yes

[valid folio]

i tought not

[proper harness]

yes they do. there are no mobs in this game that run 100% silently anymore

they used to not

[raw nest]

They changed it

[proper harness]

i think the most ive ever been shakey irl was when i had cultists spawn in my pistol run. killed 3 of them and priest with a 5-7, and was so shook that i wasnt counting, and the last cultist killed me -_-

[forest patio]

Hear me out bsg, fixing and adding to a game are entirely different

[fallen bone]

So I have a genuine question..... i just completed attacks. Or should O but I didn't complete it. I got second place. It's an arena like he told me to, but it didn't complete my task an I won

[proper harness]

remember when the compass was broken for like 2 entire years? lmao

[fallen bone]

It's the great heist part five, and I got a second place in won but it didn't completel

[forest patio]

What? Also ask arena chat

[cyan sphinx]

wait the compass was broken?? how

[forest patio]

Sorry no arena chat nevermind, community support

[forest patio]

You all are worried about JUST the compass being broken? Last night all my ai were running faster than the average car

And that was just last nights daily break

[cyan sphinx]

i mean besides tagilla and killa curb stomping players i was more wondering how BSG screwed up something so simple to point north and south

[proper harness]

you would pull the compass out, like the actual item that you had to put on your special slot, and it just wouldnt come out. your hand would get stuck

[livid oxide]

the no footsteps thing was BS anyways like Kollantay's magic stick

[fervent peak]

If you have to rely on a compass, you haven't learned the map

[cyan sphinx]

but the fact you mention the AI running like usane bolt does concern me as well

[valid folio]

Lmao i had that bug on the event once i was like OH SHIT OH SHIT OH SHIT when killa just barreld down on my ass

[fervent peak]

Sure, you could say you need a compass or the compass is a tool for learning the map, but there are plenty of land marks (sans woods), use those instead

[proper harness]

yes. thats what all my friends (who are army vets) would tell me. however, as a really dense civilian, i need all the help that i can get

[cyan sphinx]

I remember Killa comin for me in factory in pvp and he just Linebacker charge me with his sledge hammer. maybe i should join a group and go kill- i mean have a bad time in factory

[proper harness]

i have 6k hours in the game, and i STILL get lost sometimes

[fervent peak]

It's the same thing as navigating a mall

How the hell are you supposed to get to Pop Mart for your 20 gamba figurines?

[cyan sphinx]

i mean i have less hours and i use a map online to help me learn. GZ was the first i can remember the layout to and 2nd being possibly factory

[forest patio]

If you say woods doesn’t have landmarks your blind

[fervent peak]

Much fewer to work with, asides from Sniper mountain

[cyan sphinx]

uh off the top of my head there's mill, plane? (don't know if that's a landmark) small town NE, train yard spawn (close to factory or customs can't remember but it's SE)

[forest patio]

Old sawmill med camp usec checkpoint cultist circle village

[fervent peak]

Whenever I spawn by USEC camp, those spawns don't have anything obvious until you walk near the mine fields

[proper harness]

you guys are right, i guess. idk. i know most maps. the only ones i have a problem with are the ones that i literally never play. my first 3 wipes in pvp, i exclusively ran interchange, so i could navigate that map blindfolded. HOWEVER, i got master of ultra achievement last wipe, and then 1.0 came out, which added some QoL changes to the inside of the mall (like the holes being blown out from brutal shop, as well as the double door that goes from olli to goshan)

[fallen bone]

i have asked everywhere

[cyan sphinx]

you have earned my respect. i mean running interchange or doing the one mission to survive interchange for me sucked because it was winter and i didn't know only set extracts were available,

[proper harness]

haha thanks i guess? even though getting 100 killa kills on pve is entirely different than doing it on pvp xD i just hate pvp cause of cheaters. plus, im a snowflake and when i die to other players, i rage

[forest patio]

I’m tired of the bros so I just don’t go interchange anymore lmao

[proper harness]

BUT, it was nice doing it when i did it, simply because back then, hole in the fence existed, so id just run in backpackless, didnt loot, looked for killa, then got out fast, rinse repeat

[cyan sphinx]

Oh same here. i have a tough time playing PVP because there's like lvl 50s so it's impossible for me to like do a normal fight. i managed somehow. also didn't play pve cuz i didn't wanted to be called a pussy

[proper harness]

my buddy did the achieve after 1.0 and it took him twice, maybe even 3 times as long, simply cause he didnt have hole in the fence. in his defence, he took his time and looted everything

[forest patio]

I raged last night because big pipe and knight both killed me with boosted sprint speed, but hey, let’s add a new map 👍👌

[proper harness]

dude funny you mention the goons, the other night i killed all of them in a single 60 round magdump with a g36, granted they were all stacked inside each other, but still. the after action kill report showed all 3 killed within 4 seconds of each other 0_0

if i could post screenshots here i'd post the screenshot haha

[cyan sphinx]

i believe you

[raw nest]

#screenshots

[proper harness]

i was floored because the goons always usually kill me.

oh snap, alright ill post it there rq lemme find it

[forest patio]

They kill me every lighthouse run

I’m an indoor fighter not good at outdoor battles

I’ve got so bull headed I’ll lose every gun I have in a night thinking I’ll kill them

Like last night

[cyan sphinx]

Dahn that's mindblowing

[proper harness]

lmao right???? someone in my discord was watching me, and they were rushing me through a doorway, and i just sprayed at heads, and the dude watching was like, "bro that was the goons," i was like WAT

[fervent peak]

With goons, play hard cover only, stay in a house for ten minutes if you have to, They WILL try to shove your shit in

[proper harness]

yeah dude, you can kill them literally with almost any ammo in the game.. just get to a corner or doorway and make them push you, click their heads, ez

[forest patio]

Try?!? Or succeed

[cyan sphinx]

so basically the same way how you deal with convicts in OG dead rising.. let them crash into something and kill them

[proper harness]

its legit click their heads before they have the chance to murder you with great prejudice, hahhaha

[forest patio]

Last night I didn’t even leave armored train I was healing an arm from the log on building 3 but it was that special case where sprint speed was broken so they made it to me instantly and killed me before I realized

[proper harness]

ooof, feelsbadman

[forest patio]

I’ve always had to put a lot of rounds in them tho

[proper harness]

im posting screenshots but im legit shit at this game. i have 6k hours, 50+ terminal attempts and ive yet to escape 🙁 but even if i never escape, i'll still be proud of this moment. i got a 4-piece black division RGD grenade kills with a single grenade, same timestamp. lemme find it and ill post it

[forest patio]

Oh yeah I have a screenshot killing ALL of reshys squad posted with one grenade sound whoring for cultist

[reef furnace]

It's time

I'm going to terminal

[proper harness]

LMAO nice. what grenade type, if you remember? vogs used to be my favorite but now its rgd

[proper harness]

good luck, bro. u want backup? id be down for a terminal run

[clear mesa]

me in a week or so

[reef furnace]

Sure

Lemme get ready first

@distant obsidian You wanna join us

?

[fervent peak]

He can't, he already escaped

[reef furnace]

Ah

I see

[proper harness]

alright, feel free to add me to friends, it's Dahn

[reef furnace]

You're trying to escape too?

[proper harness]

yeah im the one that asked if u wanted backup originally right

[reef furnace]

Yep but I thought people who already escaped could rerun terminal

Kame told me that ain't the case so yeah

[proper harness]

not unless they reset their accounts on pve, or prestige on pvp

[livid oxide]

go solo on terminal

[reef furnace]

Why?

okay yall when do you think icebreaker releases and what do yall think will be part of it? like how big we thinking the map is gonna be/the lore/...

[clear mesa]

in a week or two fs

[rotund talon]

4 more kills and i will be free from return the favour

[cyan sphinx]

ok dumb question. whenever i reload my gun for some stupid reason it keeps getting discarded. is that the fast reload or what is that?

[rotund talon]

Gun gets thrown away?

[marble bronze]

Either that or you don't have a free slot for the mag in your vest/pockets

[cyan sphinx]

hm ok.

say you do have a slot would that be fast reload then?

[marble bronze]

Probably

Just unbind that shit

[willow tinsel]

fast reloads discards your mags

normal reload requires 1 slot to be free

[cyan sphinx]

ok

[willow tinsel]

i mean you can normal reload without 1 slot free, but it will be discarded since theres not room and it doesnt swap the current one out into your pocket

[cyan sphinx]

maybe that's my problem. cuz i had fast reload on Ctrl + R but press twice. and i've been having this issue since i stopped playing so that makes alot more sense. thanks again

Does anyone have a pkp I can have pretty please

gotcha

[autumn quiver]

did pve ai get turnt up or somethin

it is INSANE rn

not even ai intelligence its just back to 2020 where scavs would head tap you

[livid oxide]

i don't remember the last time i died to a scav since they nerfed their ai

[autumn quiver]

me neither

the pmc ai is fine

but like DAMN i get headtapped

[carmine lantern]

the factory ai is raider tier but outside of that, no

punisher on shoreline was hell bro

i got headtapped by a scav with a vepr from 200m

anyone had bug where killa doesnt say anything to nades ?

[gritty vale]

anyone know where I can find drain cleaner? been looking for it everywhere but can't seem to find it, I have checked crackhouse 20+ times no luck

[fervent peak]

Where ever tools and what not can be found. Smugglers camp on Shoreline. Keep rolling the dice

[crystal oyster]

Customs crackhouse on the shelves 2nd floor it can spawn

[summer zinc]

anyone managed to complete capture outpost quest?

[sinful hatch]

I have decent luck on customs checkin all stashes and industrial spots

[bronze saddle]

506m sniper scav kill with a Marlin, not bad

[marble bronze]

Probably not a bug tbh. If he voice lines but you're out of range to hear it he won't do it again for a bit

[slim token]

what is the biggest tarkov map by km^2?

[proud wave]

Icebreaker. You think its gonna be good map or fizzle like labyrinth?

[carmine lantern]

labrys is top tier

but it is annoying to get there

I feel like half of it is going to be transit location/if it will just be a selectable map like labs

if you have to like, walk over to the rogue side of lighthouse to transit to icebreaker, thats going to blow

[lofty karma]

having to kill 5 pmcs in a single raid without killing a scav...

[open delta]

Just go in with a friend

[lofty karma]

too lazy

[loud raptor]

I think the task « bullshit » is worst

[livid oxide]

i did both maps in one run each. just run around and listen for shots

[placid mica]

does anyone recommend a strat for escort

like guns specifically

[astral kindle]

Dont die

[livid oxide]

yup

[placid mica]

fuck ur right

[astral kindle]

Honestly any gun you like, i think i did it with rd704

Currently id use ak104 instead of rd

[loud raptor]

Don’t go streets or Lighthouse for escort

[placid mica]

then is there anywhere i can find up to date meta builds

[livid oxide]

gigabeef prolly

[placid mica]

ight

[lofty karma]

as soon as I said that I found a group of 4 pmcs just stuck

amazing luck

[astral kindle]

What weapon build youre after?

[placid mica]

just the current meta weapons i havent been caught up with them

[loud raptor]

The meta is to use what you like

[placid mica]

true

[livid oxide]

that ticket task isn't as hard as it sounds

better than pvp's version

[lofty karma]

its just tedious

thats my only issue

[livid oxide]

you can do both in one raid each. trust.

just bring sj6 and trimadols and run around

then it's terminal after that

[loud raptor]

Icebreaker after

[lofty karma]

just killed the last pmc for interchange

[red cedar]

bro can we deadass tune down factory why do we need 50 overgeared scavs and 2 bosses all on one COD size map

[lofty karma]

just need to shoreline

[loud raptor]

It’s not too bad, the cleaning crew are like in groups of 4

[lofty karma]

my only issue now is that since I want to do this at night to do insomnia too I gotta fight cultists...

they dont count as scavs right?

[red cedar]

jn i was just tryna get out and everywhere i went theres clean up crew and then i run face to face with Killa

i didnt even know Killa spawned on factory

and i swear they put them at the extracts intentionally

they all just congregate in these same spots

[carmine lantern]

??event

[quasi apex]

Killa and Tagilla are 100%, along with their clean up crew on Factory!
Player scavs are temporarily restricted from the Factory location.

[cursive summit]

Event announced 3 or so days ago, killa can spawn on fsctory along with cracked up "clean up crew"

[young hemlock]

kist loaded into factory and i spawned in gate 1 with 2 scavs and insta died

[red cedar]

ah hell

[stable hatch]

preposterous that after 3 days with a clean up crew factory is still so dirty

[cyan sphinx]

do they spawn in at night or no?

[cursive summit]

Yeah the new ai basically if they in a group, you're just fucked, atleast for me anyway

[cursive summit]

No

[red cedar]

i actually like how some of the AI with be squaded with eo but damn Factory just isnt the map for this shit

[main eagle]

do giveaways randomly select server members?

[cursive summit]

Anyone who clicked thay little party hat thing to enter the giveaway

[stable hatch]

something tells me is an AI group test for icebreaker

[carmine lantern]

they're just the ai from arena

[main eagle]

I have to add the party bot to my discord? sorry im not very good at this. edit: nvm got it! added to my role

[reef furnace]

My first terminal run ended with a high packet loss error

Nikita why?

Why do you gotta be so shit?

😢

[cursive summit]

I don't know, they've been in beta for 10 years and even then somehow, they just refused to optimize till very recently since theyre switching to a new engine to hopefully improve performance in general

[carmine lantern]

it will be shit+, so like better shit

[main eagle]

They're going to port the game to an entire new engine or a newer unity engine?

[cursive summit]

Newer Unity engine

[fallen mason]

They already did back in 2024.

[carmine lantern]

and they are again soon

but new engine doesnt mean anything by itself, arena is already on the new one

[open delta]

Is it just me or arena’s hit reg suck?

[cursive summit]

Idk, I only play it during free trials, it seemed fine

[west juniper]

alright, been at return the favor for about 10 hours. got 9 kills. gonna go sleep. screw this quest

[cursive summit]

I just like how in arena, if you miss out on something in a certain season, you're just fucked, no way of getting it, fine with cosmetics but damn

[carmine lantern]

nikita said that he wants to add the actual items (like the sights and model 1) into the drop pool after the season ends but who knows when thats happening

[reef furnace]

Nikita tends to lie a lot

[carmine lantern]

also fair

[spare prairie]

It's sucks majorly the amount of times I've beamed someone in the unarmored face an then died to them cuz it did nothing makes me wanna smash my keyboard 🙄

[fervent peak]

Sit above secret bunker, wait until 24-20 mins left, whoever is at village and is alive will wander there

[west juniper]

did it, for about 20 raids. got like 5 kills that way

got 4 by watching from sniper scav position towards sawmill. got some shturman kill for hunter so I don't mind

just exhausting

[mild cargo]

yo is pve worth getting

[main eagle]

I know people have said this before but what is the spawn rate of cultists on night factory?

[west juniper]

depends on your playstyle and how you enjoy games

[west juniper]

5-10ish

[carmine lantern]

12%

[main eagle]

thanks

[marble bronze]

If you like Tarkov but either can't hang against players or just want a more chill and cheater free experience, yes

[mossy blade]

I spent too much money on Tarkov...

PVE, Arena and both tactical maps

And still have Standard edition

[mild cargo]

ok its just I want to play tarkov with out all of that pvp stuff but £25 is a bit much

[west juniper]

@mild cargo If you don't mind playing it as if it was a single player game experience and that you can or will enjoy this type of game, yeah you might love it

[mossy blade]

I mean it isnt a LOT

Its the same as tactical maps for arena and its SLIGHTLY cheaper than arena

watch out big brother js watching

[mild cargo]

I need to pay for the main game as well

[west juniper]

no terminal on it.

[mossy blade]

Yeah it has everything but Storyline and 1.0 zones

Youre on thin ice bro

[marble bronze]

You speed running a mute or...?

[west juniper]

true. but I mean, if you want to play single player tarkov. and not ESCAPE FROM TARKOV. like... what's the point if you can

[marble bronze]

Muted for ToS reasons, yes.

[carmine lantern]

no one from bsg will ever read this lol

[autumn quiver]

hence why suck their toes

[carmine lantern]

its just how the discord works, we dont make the rules here

[west juniper]

btw, I've just seen that you joined the discord today, and you post about how great SPT is. Are you hired by them or something ?

[marble bronze]

Aaaaaand there it goes

what the heck is that hahaha

[marble bronze]

Milkboarding a skeleton?

[west juniper]

I guess ?

never thought about it, but skeletons also need milk true true

[carmine lantern]

theres a skeleton inside you right now

[west juniper]

what ? how would you know that ?

event end tomorrow right ?

[stone goblet]

nasty

[marble bronze]

It's certainly an odd thing to think about 😂

[loud lance]

PMCs are not really a threat... so if you don't own Tarkov already, I suggest just trying Practice Mode first to see if you like the game... fighting Scavs and bosses.

IMO that's already fun to be able to practice against bosses.

Watch the Gossip Goblin channel on YT for AI generated 'meat mech' shorts and stuff. Cycles of Humanity. Scary but really nice for AI generated videos

is the event still on?

Does anyone have a cheat sheet for items you need for kappa?

[cursive summit]

Since I exclusively only play ove it's really nice snd worth it, just obviously doesnt have the satisfaction of people able to kill a human player in raid but eh

[spare prairie]

EFT boss spawn website tells you all there chances

[green lake]

Just me or do no Rogues or anything else for that matter spawn at Water Treatment Plant? 9/10 Lighthouse raids I run never spawn anything there

[spare prairie]

if you dont wanna get slammed 24/7 an feel like your getting no where an you wanna actually progress, do tasks, an learn the game, PVE is perfect

[mild cargo]

I wasn't expecting a lot a replys but thank you

[spare prairie]

if you can no life the game PVP is for you if you want a chill experience PVE is ideal

[rare field]

Surely, Icebreaker Tomorrow

Today would have been better

cus its my birthday

[spare prairie]

those teaser pings had me exicted :/

[cursive summit]

I expect ice breaker to be in winter in all honesty, but idk, could be anytime this year really

[upbeat trout]

ive done all of the chapters and im still missing 1 evidence fro kerman anyone know what i might be missing?

[spare prairie]

was suppose to be quarter 1 but got delayed to quarter two, an quarter 3 isnt till like july so theres still time for it

[carmine lantern]

with the teasers it will prob be in the next few weeks

[livid oxide]

??icebreaker

aw man

[cursive summit]

delayed to 2027

[rare field]

Nuh uh

Surely, Icebreaker Tomorrow

[loud lance]

Why so ? you think it should be working ?
Not vecause 'ice' is in the name that it should not be stranded on a beach or whatever.
And winter us gone.. so.

[fallen mason]

You know the northern parts of Russia border the artic ocean where there's ice/snow year round, right?

Logically they could release Icebreaker any time of the year.

[astral kindle]

Kinda hoping not

Mostly because i'm having fever and burned out from tarkov :C

[carmine lantern]

im having tarkov fever

[astral kindle]

Been playing non-stop since 1.0 and wanted take break month ago but been forced to helping friend

Oh and battlepass top of everything

[earnest coyote]

what is this event on factory ?

[carmine lantern]

??event

[quasi apex]

Killa and Tagilla are 100%, along with their clean up crew on Factory!
Player scavs are temporarily restricted from the Factory location.

[astral kindle]

Scavs are harder with better gear, Killa and Tagilla spawns at 10min, good XP farm

[earnest coyote]

haven't played since february lol

[cursive summit]

I can get tagilla, cant kill killa alone period

[steep kettle]

Check the Collector quest on the tarkov wiki

[vale girder]

anyone getting slow game response?

[vernal spindle]

Sj12s are back down to 70k yummy

[vale girder]

i keep getting an backend error, ffs

[drowsy pelican]

can someone tell me what the secret is to getting Return The Favor done?

[icy rock]

Wiki

[earnest coyote]

82k exp on factory is crazy

[earnest coyote]

rush bunker

[drowsy pelican]

Scav bunker?

[earnest coyote]

the bunker in the mountain where the marked circle is... get there stay for 5 min see if any pmc will come.

[drowsy pelican]

Down to try this, I've been running circles and in like 20 raids only seen 2 pmcs

[earnest coyote]

go bunker, nothing there run to extract after 5 min... sometimes you get 2-3 pmc rushing bunker

try to get there within first 2 min of the raid. sj6 if you have to

[drowsy pelican]

Does time of day matter?

[earnest coyote]

i don't htink they changed it ... i did it back in january

[fervent karma]

how do you go about killing them?

[tardy mauve]

ICEBREAKER!

[tardy mauve]

event still on?

[fervent karma]

ye

I'm getting my ass handed to me on practice mode

bastards pinpoint my location any time I leave any cover or one of em sees me and all of em rush/surround me lol

[earnest coyote]

ez

[loud lance]

Do tests in Practice mode if you stuggle with Cleanuo Crew

[verbal marsh]

yeah Krys.. try practice mode

[loud lance]

Yeah killing them isn't the issue anyways... IMO

[prime talon]

Yeah, PVE is pretty tough when they don't have other players distracting them

(Dying to other players or aiming at other players)

[fervent karma]

did yall read my message earlier? xD

[verbal marsh]

(i did, thats why i played along lol)

[loud lance]

Seems we havent.

[carmine lantern]

I cant read

[fervent karma]

so you guys aren't cheesing them in any way? damn, I must be pretty bad in that case

props to you chads

[verbal marsh]

i've gotten my ass handed to me more times than most scavs.. but hanging out in offices and just sniping them as they all come to hang out has proven helpful

[prime talon]

Out of 7 tries, 4 were practice mode runs, I've only extracted safely once.

[carmine lantern]

I died a few times at the start for sure, but they're just raiders basically

nade to pinpoint where they are generally, peek out for a bit, relocate if you really need to, dont keep repeeking the same spots

[earnest coyote]

use nades

[loud lance]

It's similar than when you go about Rogues or bosses mostly. You have to get out of PvE mode and sweat a little more

[fervent karma]

gotcha

[carmine lantern]

I had to buy a whole new thicc wep case for all the free black mdr's ive been getting from them

I have like 15 of them now

[prime talon]

7.62x51 MDRs? You like them that much?

[loud lance]

Really quick peeks, change position, lure them and ambush, etc

[carmine lantern]

im a hoarder

and they're either 1.7k usd or 400k rb if you want to buy one normally

[earnest coyote]

at some point everything becomes irrelevant

[carmine lantern]

and yea, ive already burned a few down, you get the ammo from them as well, at least bits and pieces of it

[cursive summit]

A scav a killed had a maska on, very neat

[tardy mauve]

factory event still going with tagilla/killa ?

[prime talon]

yeah

[tardy mauve]

sick

[mighty sequoia]

ay sorry guys but what is the rusted bloody key used for?

[tardy mauve]

quest item, keep it.

[mighty sequoia]

ohhh

thanks bro

[tardy mauve]

The Door task

[cursive summit]

The door

[tardy mauve]

key is rare as fuck

[carmine lantern]

quest 'the door' on streets

[mighty sequoia]

oh god....streets???..

[carmine lantern]

its very rough since not only is the key rare, it cant be stored in a secure container

so if you die, well, bye bye key

[mighty sequoia]

oh man

hahhaa

[carmine lantern]

the bloody key door area can spawn marked keys from what I recall, or at least some rare keys can show up in there

[tardy mauve]

ive gfotten three marked keys from it

good key but quest is better.

[prime talon]

Yeah, it usually spawns a bunch of keys

[mighty sequoia]

ohh ok copy that thank you

[loud lance]

Lucky... it's PvE

[carmine lantern]

true, and theres plenty of people who have spares on pve who are willing to bring you there

[mighty sequoia]

lol I can still easily die tbf

[grave girder]

Anyone got any tips for fps? amd setup kinda struggeling

[verbal marsh]

i've been doing pistol runs on Streets lately.. just running streets with a handgun, one extra clip and a afak.. its been fun

[mighty sequoia]

good lord sir

[gentle pulsar]

pistol runs are always a blast imo

[loud lance]

Yeah sure, PvP my kd would be negative 😉 It's not like only 2-3 times better odds to survive only... it's a lot

[mighty sequoia]

yeaa fair call man

[verbal marsh]

its given me a reason to do the whole relax room loop that you normally do at start of wipe.. and snipers are a problem again lol

[toxic patio]

Never hit relax room or streets that much

A shame, it’s a good map

[loud lance]

Not even accounting for cheaters lol

[carmine lantern]

unfortunately this game struggles a lot especially in specific areas, best bet is just looking on youtube for more recent performance setups, and then trying some offline raids and seeing how it all turns out, there isnt a silver bullet setting

[verbal marsh]

i gotta try streets on the ETS servers, people have said the Unity updates have made the map feel better.. so -fingers crossed- it runs better so more people can play it and it not run like ass

[loud lance]

Yeah Tarkov is weird to set first time.. get better performance with settings on high than low etc.
You need to test a lot... at least I had to.

[carmine lantern]

yea they did recently do some good streets fps updates but I just am too lazy to run it, maybe when the event is over

[cursive summit]

I just hope to i tead of dying on 12fps to killa, I die on 60fpa to killa

[carmine lantern]

right now I got 240k xp to lvl 65 so I think ill get that today

and then it is 2 mil xp to level 66 :]

[verbal marsh]

yeah for a while attacking lexos was a fun poistion to learn to master.. where to nade, where to hide, where they come from.. plus the whole map is pretty nice to run around in

[carmine lantern]

kaban is cool, and kollontay is cool when he's not at the mall, I dont care for that spot

[mighty sequoia]

man some of my mates wanna drag me into pvp this weekend but I fear its gonna ruin my love and enjoyment of tarky all together haha

[verbal marsh]

last week i noticed if his guards are eating crap on the far right side of the second floor (if your looking at it from the streets) you can pop a guard or two from the sewer street.. got two guard kills just hanging out way over there

[cursive summit]

I just die to kollontay in general, or his guards with some sort of BP

[carmine lantern]

I could not play in pvp, im way too bad

or well, not bad, so much as very ballsy, which is commonly punished more vs actual people who will shoot back

[verbal marsh]

ditto. i just dont have that skill set of peek peek, run at the wall, peek bounce a nade off 3 door corners and a car hood, run into the wall some more, bunny hop on to a window and snipe through a door crack.. i'll just run around like a idiot pistoling scavs on streets

[mighty sequoia]

See this would be my issue haha

I posted a clip in the video tab the other day of my PvE shenanigans lmao (im dogshit) I dont think pvp is gonna be for me

[carmine lantern]

plus insurance is a godsend on pve

[loud lance]

Probably really depends how bad it goes.. 😉
When there is no issue with the game it's probably ultra fun. Sure if you're with a Paca and they all have t5 plates and ammo... hmmm not the same fun

[mighty sequoia]

mmm Ill give it a crack I suppose haha

probably run into Pestily first raid

get binned, alt f4

[loud lance]

PvP too... nice concept to not put the job 100% on teammates to get gear back

When I played ABI I was almost prefering dying than be the only to extract

[verbal marsh]

whats even worse i learned after testing the ETS server.. having all your skills at 1.

pve? run for 10 minutes jump over car, throw a nade across the map.

pvp/new account = can lightly jog for 45 seconds while carrying a bottle of water and a candy bar before having a heat stroke

[mighty sequoia]

ughhhh good lord lmao

[loud lance]

Yeah playing back with the skills at 0... I think I might die from dehydration lol

[mighty sequoia]

man prestige in PvE is gonna be sick

[verbal marsh]

ice breaker i hope is sick

[last fern]

What's my best bet for bringing cheap ammo into factory right now? I don't mind running nice stuff for the bosses but it's hard to run it back to back to back with an ammo cap of 100 per trader reset

[verbal marsh]

bad time.. clean up crew was randomly bouncing headshots making me think i was running shit ammo

[last fern]

I like to run m855 in normal factory cus you can black out tagillas face plate and kill him in like 6 to 12 bullets

[carmine lantern]

bring flesh based ammo and aim for head, or bring guns that they will use sometimes

[last fern]

But killa does not seem to be affected lol

[carmine lantern]

they almost never have any head protection, for the crew that is

ive seen like 2 with a lvl 2 visor

[last fern]

They're pretty fun to fight lol

I can run m80 for a round or two, and switch to ps12b for another round or two at least

[young frost]

tcw sp. skier sells 1000 at a time

[last fern]

That's pretty based, I overlooked that ammo ty

[toxic patio]

factory is most fun rn with a squad imo

there's too much loot for one person

i understand why people have shit organized stashes now, there's a searchbar

that makes stash management a fucking joke lmao

also whoever said killa spawns at 10 on factory is a liar i just got him to spawn after 3 cleanup crew kills and at 14 minutes

[dreamy flint]

i recently got the savior ending and i wanna get another ending if i reset my account does it get rid of the rewards? (the background, armband, and dog tag)

[carmine lantern]

nope, its achievement based

[toxic patio]

ending rewards aside from items you never lose

so you can do one then get the others

[dreamy flint]

ok thank you very much this has been very helpful

[livid oxide]

Or you could wait for prestige but you could be waiting for a while

[surreal pond]

just survived a Grenade launcher blast in the face by big pipe anyone had that happening to you guys ?

it only took like 15% of my entire health no bleeding

[livid oxide]

Train Hard arm band goes Hard

[carmine lantern]

I gotta rep the purple armband

[cyan sphinx]

wish me luck. going in factory. checking it out

[carmine lantern]

break a leg :]

[cyan sphinx]

probably will ironicly

[drowsy juniper]

damnn been gone for a minute and missed event

D:

[cyan sphinx]

bruh.. mf drop shotted me...

[carmine lantern]

event is still on today

[drowsy juniper]

missed most of it i shouldve said :V

[carmine lantern]

theres no quests/achievements so you didnt miss that much outside of xp at least

[cyan sphinx]

might find a squad in the lfg. though idk what to bring though maybe a shotgun like the mp-155s?

[carmine lantern]

its top tier xp though

[drowsy juniper]

im like 75/100 for killa achievement so wouldve been nice progress

[cyan sphinx]

hmmmmm

how much are the enemy gun's worth usually?

[carmine lantern]

if you get a black mdr/mcx those are around 100k, idk about the rest

[cyan sphinx]

😮

definetly gonna que up a squad later tonight.

[white steppe]

Does anyone know if the event on factory is still active?

[cyan sphinx]

??event

[quasi apex]

Killa and Tagilla are 100%, along with their clean up crew on Factory!
Player scavs are temporarily restricted from the Factory location.

[cyan sphinx]

thought the bot could tell the date.. but it's been pushed back til tomorrowe

[white steppe]

So it’s still active? Also when does it end if anyone knows

[astral kindle]

The in-game event in #EscapefromTarkov is extended until May 5, 4:00 PM BST / 11:00 AM EST.

[white steppe]

Ayyyyy thank you guys

[carmine lantern]

I can assume the actual guns they use are more like 40-60k though

forgot to say that im talking about the max durability 2nd guns they can have

since those are the only ones ive picked up

its a lot more than normal scav guns though, its more like pmc guns

[cyan sphinx]

40-60k is pretty good. since i need to sell things to traders since i'm good for lvl and rep. just the cash requirement is what i need still

but what about the cleaner's armor. since they have guns with T3 pen should i bring in a semi auto shotgun or just light them up with smgs?

[carmine lantern]

anything that you can reliably headshot with imo

they can have t4-t6 armor

normally t4-t5 but ive seen a few t6

[drowsy juniper]

does killa spawn from the start?

[carmine lantern]

nope

the bosses spawn at around 10-14 minutes left

[drowsy juniper]

ughhh alrighty ty

[carmine lantern]

both tagilla and killa, and they can spawn in diff spots

or the same :]

[cyan sphinx]

would 12/70 piranna work? the reason is i don't think i have access to anything that can pen t4 let alone t6 armor. unless i were to aim for the fleshy parts

[carmine lantern]

pirahna is pretty good

[cyan sphinx]

ok.. might use shotguns then with piranna since i've used them alot in arena and know what the hell i'm doing 60% of the time

[tulip citrus]

holy shit, i spawned on reserve as a scav and i have 5 mags (inclduing the one in the gun)

bsg wants me to make a scav war

and 2 grenades

[dense sentinel]

bsg to you scav go do a crime

[grizzled yoke]

I just finished the profitable venture task line and I didn't get the all on red achievement?

[carmine lantern]

you have to do a raid or something to force it

it was the same for me

[grizzled yoke]

oh ok, thanks!

yes that worked

[proud trout]

to the two bros i was runnin with this AM - add me if you see this xP

[pseudo kayak]

wtf are the reinforcements

for the factory event

[carmine lantern]

nothing

[pseudo kayak]

oh just a stupid quip

[carmine lantern]

just what they said to extend it a bit, I havent seen any actual in game difference

[keen jacinth]

Cant even load into terminal with my buddies. Loads us all separate. I swear this game should be named 'Russian malware simulator'

[young frost]

if ur lacking in ammo reserves i strongly recommend a fal with tcw sp. its cheap n skier sells 1000 per reset.

[jovial cobalt]

lol another lead dev at bsg is leaving

dont worry games not dead 10 more years of content

[odd gale]

Where do you see that

[carmine lantern]

https://x.com/Jean_Tengri/status/2051374834077315348

[odd gale]

Someone will replace him

[jovial cobalt]

yuh

[jovial cobalt]

so doubtful

[carmine lantern]

yea it sucks when a big dev leaves but theres like 400 people working on tarkov from what nikita said recently

[odd gale]

Nah

[jovial cobalt]

i cant believe that somehow

or if they have that many employees theres no way all of them are working on only tarkov

[odd gale]

Well bsg only does local devs

So Russian

They don’t take people from outside

[carmine lantern]

its what nikita said in a recent interview

[odd gale]

Correct me if I’m wrong

[jovial cobalt]

how recent or do ya got link

[jovial cobalt]

i think so tho
his new game studio is the opposite and they are getting lots of devs not just from in russia afaik

[carmine lantern]

https://gamesbeat.com/how-tarkov-creator-yearned-to-make-sci-fi-shooter-fragmentary-order-nikita-buyanov-exclusive-interview/

Buyanov: The Tarkov team right now is around 400 people, by the way. But yes, it’s a more condensed team. We have essential people working together in the office. It brings a more old-school game development feel. New projects and teams need to start working together in person.

now its just an interview so shrug, numbers are probably scuffed or maybe include temps or something similar, or contracted groups, who knows

[icy rock]

Nah they party and give us a copy pasted event and work like 2hr a day

[odd gale]

At least they gave us a event

They never gave us this many events b2v

[jovial cobalt]

as much as i kinda shit on bsg or nikita i feel like he often brings up good points

like how he knew revealing frag order would be very polarizing

[soft aurora]

400 people?

[jovial cobalt]

lmao that was my reaction too

anyways surely icebreaker is tomorrow

[odd gale]

It isn’t a huge company you know that right?

[soft aurora]

nah iam more of suprised this shit took 400 people to develop

[odd gale]

You try and develop it

[soft aurora]

amazing argument

brother

[odd gale]

Wasn’t trying to argue

[soft aurora]

so if u hire a building crew

and they absolutely botch the job on your house and u go to complain

them replying "try building house yourself"

[odd gale]

Not every thing I say is a argument

[soft aurora]

is valid?

[odd gale]

Yeah

[soft aurora]

xD

schizo

[jovial cobalt]

well didn't they start with lile 4 ppl

[odd gale]

I can’t complain if I haven’t done it myself first

I understand that people mess up

And make mistakes

[soft aurora]

why u hating AI? Did u develop any yourself?

[jovial cobalt]

afaik they reworked the game from contract wars its the same engine

literally the worst foundation to create a game on

[odd gale]

I hate it because of the impact it has on local fresh water sources and environmental

[soft aurora]

tarkov is using unity

[jovial cobalt]

contract wars is unity right

[odd gale]

The game is made from the engine among us is on

[soft aurora]

no clue what that game was

But tark is 100% unity

[jovial cobalt]

their first game

[odd gale]

Yeah Tarkov is a first game

[jovial cobalt]

a web based unity pay 2 win shooter

[odd gale]

Which it’s actually very good

[jovial cobalt]

mods ban him

[soft aurora]

there is no shot tarkov can sustain 400 devs

[odd gale]

Have you tried the new ets

[soft aurora]

they have to be cooking some major DLCs

[jovial cobalt]

for like 5 min

[odd gale]

The new engine update is good

I also don’t think people realize how hard it is to switch to different game engines

[soft aurora]

depends on engines

switching from like Unity to Unreal is hard

switching from UE4 to UE5 is not

[odd gale]

Yeah

I just don’t think most people actually understand how much work it takes to make a game

[soft aurora]

eh

tarkov is 100% not a 400 dev project tho

[odd gale]

Only because we have triple aaa companies that make it look easy

[odd gale]

Why would he lie?

[soft aurora]

if BSG is in total 400 people

over all sectors,

[pseudo kayak]

chat im so fucking tired

[soft aurora]

Sure, but 400 devs working on tarkov alone is probably not a thing

[jovial cobalt]

tarkov team probably consists of not only the dev team

support team, community managers

[soft aurora]

well duh

[pseudo kayak]

stop fighting buncha fucking whores

[jovial cobalt]

blah blah

they have 1 dev and 399 janitors

[odd gale]

Oh great niami is complaining again

[soft aurora]

wouldnt be suprised

[pseudo kayak]

typical niami behavior whoever niami is

[odd gale]

Yeah fr

[soft aurora]

niami this nuts

[pseudo kayak]

mimimimi

that's all you do

mimimimmimimmiim

[soft aurora]

could be worse

[odd gale]

This event is boring

[soft aurora]

event in question being

"just spawn more geared scavs endlessly"

[pseudo kayak]

oh great simplycody is complaining again

[jovial cobalt]

i wish there was atleast a quest

or like cooler lore

[soft aurora]

tarkov lore is also kinda schizo

but schizo lore > no lore tbh

[jovial cobalt]

i like the events where you choose a side

like side with cleanup crew or side with the pmcs

[soft aurora]

actual tarkov lore would be us paying peacekeeper 10k

he would make us fake papers and get us out shrimply

[halcyon depot]

legit

[soft aurora]

entire game done in 5h

[halcyon depot]

dude would be able to get you out easy enough

i mean he does import weapons into tarkov

so he clearly has some route in and out

[gentle pulsar]

unlocking contact to peacekeeper is basically the end of the game lmao

[soft aurora]

isnt he like the head of UN ?

for that region

or at least some higher ranking guy

[halcyon depot]

i think hes a UN supply officer

similar to prapor

[soft aurora]

idk all that shit is so made up it feels weird

but tbh, tarkov lore was always schizo so u just dont take it seriously regardless

[halcyon depot]

according to the lore prapor just bribed a bunch of post soviet guys to get access to entire storehouses

where as peackeeper is a bit more legitimate

his real name is one of the most eastern european names ive ever heard

[icy rock]

He makes meth and sells it -_-

[halcyon depot]

does he?

[icy rock]

Yea

Chem closet

[halcyon depot]

ok i didnt know that

oh right of course

well he gives me my shiny HK416s so i can look past that

[carmine lantern]

waltuh

[soft aurora]

He is polish no?

[halcyon depot]

yeh

i think so

his name certainly sounds like polish

[soft aurora]

Either way this lore is wild

West bad
East good
Western company bad
Eastern company good
City dead

Tarkov lore in 5 lines

[halcyon depot]

i dont know how i feel about the cultist part

seems a but hap hazard

[young frost]

i kinda like how the intentionally leave the cult stuff vague

[halcyon depot]

yeh thats fair

[icy rock]

Yea

[halcyon depot]

i dont know it just seems kinda random

[soft aurora]

Why did tarkov suddenly detonate again

[halcyon depot]

i dont think anyone knows much about the EMP

if thats what your referring to

[young frost]

man u should look the goons real names

[halcyon depot]

the actual start of how tarko erupted was basically that the russian government had enough of terragroups shady stuff

they sent in FSB and some local forces

for a search and seizer warrant

and usec just opened up on them

then bear was created to look around the globe to gather TG intel

officially bear doesnt exist

[soft aurora]

But

Tarkov is autonomous region no?

So why should russians care

[halcyon depot]

but yeh the whole thing erupted cause russia was actually trying to do something good

[young frost]

understandable why they wouldnt want some shady company running a huge breaking badesque lab under the city

[halcyon depot]

not autonmous no

its a special economic zone

where the laws are extremely relaxed

but it still falls under russian jurisdiction

basically corperations were invited to come invest in big buisness

its essentially a really economically free corpo city

which was the problem

[soft aurora]

Makes sense

[young frost]

very cyberpunk of them

[halcyon depot]

yeh very

TG was doing all kinds of shady stuff

i guess some was leaked

and the FSB had enough

according to the lore during the firefight the FSB suffere alot of casualties and attempted to retreat via vehicle

only for an unkown USEC to fire and RPG

and took out the remaining soldiers

it reads as if the entire FSB and local force died

which is why the headquarters on ground zero keeps getting attacked

[spare prairie]

Arena servers having a stroke for anyone else? trying to do tasks but watching me an half the players DC through matches

[stable tinsel]

So everyone playing the USEC, yes, you are canonically the bad guys.

[halcyon depot]

yes

usecs are here to keep TG secrets a secret

[soft aurora]

Good

[halcyon depot]

but dont forget you are playing as a kinda rogue usec

someone who was left behind

your just trying to survive

[soft aurora]

Money is money

[sage marsh]

money does wild things for people

[halcyon depot]

your mission no longer matters

thats why theres multiple endings

[soft aurora]

There whould be a TG side

Where u reconnect with TG and work for them

True baddie mode

[halcyon depot]

i think one of the endings is similar to that right

the call me flash the loremaster

[sage marsh]

no one calls you that

[halcyon depot]

no noone does

be alot cooler if they did

[jovial cobalt]

yo loremaster

[halcyon depot]

thankyou

[normal horizon]

Bear for life

[jovial cobalt]

what happened on the second tuesday in march 2017 in norvinsk tarbank

[halcyon depot]

USEC for EVA

um

[distant obsidian]

Surely

[halcyon depot]

im afraid thats classified information

[distant obsidian]

I've been at work all day

[reef furnace]

Yeah I saw that just now

[distant obsidian]

lol

[pseudo kayak]

death doom n despair

[halcyon depot]

thats the tarkov way

there is no true escape

even if you physically escape your soul is bound to this accursed city

[stable tinsel]

I really need to crack down and start getting the main story missions and the rest of these side missions done. I just really don’t like going to lighthouse.

[vast orchid]

PRAISE ME I GOT MY FIRST KILLA KILL WITH THE EVENT!

of all the toys on my map i wanted to knock over, that fucker was the one

[vast orchid]

same

[young frost]

nice. only 99 more to go

[vast orchid]

lol

yeah no

maybe in a dream

[stable tinsel]

Impact grenades are great for killa

[vast orchid]

dude constantly merced me before 1.0

even had him chase me outside to the power station before I even was on the map for 3 mins (i did not LOS this dude at all)

[stable tinsel]

Killa, the goons, and kaban used to be my biggest ops. Kaban and his guards on the mounted machine guns used to try and shoot me through buildings before 1.0

[vast orchid]

they still do

[modern pier]

will i get my dusk of humanity background on pve if i have it on pvp?

[vast orchid]

no

[young frost]

lol they still try to and sometimes succeed at wallbanging me with that mg

[vast orchid]

pvp and pve are seperated

[young frost]

well like once but i was barely even in the steakhouse. bunch of hackers ...

[modern pier]

hmm wonder why they even give us the pve achievement then makes no sense

[vast orchid]

I honestly try to stay away, im not skilled enough for them

I may get lucky and take out knight and pipe, but that fucker birdeye... fuck him

also never tried to take on bosses alone

I would like to find a competent group of people to play with on a regular basis, but well... vc is toxic

[pseudo kayak]

nah just trust

learn to deal w em solo

icebreaker coming up

solo ts

[vast orchid]

wdym? hard to find a group who isnt spouting homosexual and racial slurs

[toxic patio]

just ignore it

[vast orchid]

hard to when its constant

im just too old for that bs

[distant obsidian]

ive found way less non toxic groups then toxic groups in lfg

[pseudo kayak]

no i mean just learn to deal w em solo

it's just better for you overall

I played w tyreall it was the most toxic interaction ever

[jovial cobalt]

lmfao

real or joke

[pseudo kayak]

real shit

you wouldn't believe what happened that raid
