[carmine lantern]

I had to redo all the great heights stuff when it reset

[pseudo kayak]

hmm

you have the quest active?

cuz if you do ig there's ur answer

[lime mauve]

Weird. I did all that months ago and I can still transfer

[cyan sphinx]

First introduction quest is active but showed completed everything is gone.. which is weird but 1 answer can say everything Nikkita did something again

[distant obsidian]

[cyan sphinx]

i mean. might as well redo it. plus get some locked crates to sell, use, or even craft with on the pve end\

[jovial cobalt]

march 5 2026
'For players who had not completed "To Great Heights!" prior to the update, progress on active tasks has been reset and appropriate compensation has been issued '

did you fully finish tgh before

[lime mauve]

There's plenty of crates if you do your dailies and weeklies

[cyan sphinx]

no..

[lime mauve]

I did yeah

[cyan sphinx]

got up to TGH 3 because of the transfer system.

[lime mauve]

That's probably why mine never reset

[carmine lantern]

yea I hadnt fully finished mine, I had only finished gh3

[jovial cobalt]

i believe that may be why

[lime mauve]

I finished that entire line lmao

The suffering was unreal

[cyan sphinx]

thanks BSG.. well more exp, cash and pain

[carmine lantern]

thats tarkov in a nutshell

[lime mauve]

Still currently my favorite game despite all the bullshit bugs and ball crusher quests 😂

[cyan sphinx]

true. but i've somewhat enjoyed arena a little bit more. still like the main game but good for aim training

[lime mauve]

Arena is pretty good for having an extra source of higher tier ammo and cases

[cyan sphinx]

yeah. and emergency cash as well.

[jovial cobalt]

honestly the bugs dont bother me anymore

except for arena bugs

[distant obsidian]

cant say the arena cash has even been needed

[cyan sphinx]

ghost bullets my bane

[jovial cobalt]

its just normal at this point

[distant obsidian]

most tarkov bugs are insignificant and meaningless

[lime mauve]

Sure it's like 500 gp and some lega medals for a thicc case but I think it's a bit better than whatever fuckass barter when you can blast through arena dailies in an hour or 2 vs spending weeks collecting barter items that never spawn when you actually want them

[carmine lantern]

in my twisted mind, bugs are just gameplay features

[jovial cobalt]

do u know what they increased transfer limits to?

[distant obsidian]

bugs are expected in all games

[jovial cobalt]

anomalies

[cyan sphinx]

I think the cash was from 1m to 1.5m?

[distant obsidian]

yes, right fucking after I finished transfering my 1500 gp

[lime mauve]

I say this til I rubber band during a glukhar fight and get slapped by a scav with a shotgun and nothing left to lose

[distant obsidian]

Ryzhy Edition
Rouble transfer limit increased from 750,000 to 1,500,000;
GP Coin transfer limit increased from 250 to 350.

● Standard
Rouble transfer limit increased from 500,000 to 1,000,000;
GP Coin transfer limit increased from 250 to 350.

[lime mauve]

I should play some arena before I have to work again...

I am pretty low on cash and gear after trying to farm factory the last few days lol

[distant obsidian]

dont think ive ever been low on gear or money ever in pve

[spring valley]

I have never played PvE are the AI PMC good or booty lol?

[distant obsidian]

depends on how good you are

if your badm, they will kill you

[cyan sphinx]

think of a middle ground of what you said

[pseudo kayak]

crap i cant remember where you said the inseq wrench was

[lime mauve]

Depends on how you play ngl

[distant obsidian]

of my 32 deaths I think like 6 are to pmcs

[carmine lantern]

if you've played pvp, it goes scavs, pmc's, raiders, guards, scav with sks, in terms of difficulty

[odd gale]

??roadmap

[quasi apex]

Preliminary roadmap for #EscapefromTarkov for the first half of 2026. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/521645013277474826/1473640144665051311/Roadmap_for_the_first_half_of_2026.jpg?ex=69a81555&is=69a6c3d5&hm=0cbca04fb0f3dbd07596f02014386eadecf210c6d4549dfbad59facab7d1e157&

[lime mauve]

They're scav brained but they have better gear and aim (usually)

[pseudo kayak]

did you say toolboxes for most of my kappa items left

beard oil and the pipe wrench

[distant obsidian]

tool spawns

[lime mauve]

I don't struggle against pmcs until I get cocky

[pseudo kayak]

and then uh whaddafuck is a gold spawn 🐀

[distant obsidian]

spawns gold

old spawn type.

bits, gold chains ect

[lime mauve]

I don't struggle against raiders either unless they swarm me and I can't peek from cover

[pseudo kayak]

ah

so smugglers camp sounds good for tool spawns

[carmine lantern]

smuggler camp is goated

[pseudo kayak]

didnt know the beard oil was a tool spawn goober icl

[distant obsidian]

mhm

[carmine lantern]

I wonder if those new streamer items will come with icebreaker

[lime mauve]

For what loot exactly

[pseudo kayak]

streamer items B)

smugglers camp got tool spawns out the wazoo!

[lime mauve]

I'm trying to find reasons to learn more maps so I don't get burnt out with interchange and labs

[carmine lantern]

it has a ton of hideout and tool related spots mostly

its also a spot on shoreline where pmc's and scavs roam at

and close to several extracts including a nice car extract

[lime mauve]

Reserve has been good aside from shitty spawns that put me right next to glukhar

[pseudo kayak]

where bakez bookey

[lime mauve]

I don't need any of that stuff. I'm only working on solar and bitcoin farm 3 now

[carmine lantern]

the book is mostly safe/jacket/drawer

so head to tarbank on streets imo

[lime mauve]

Might do shooting range 3 eventually but it's not a priority

[carmine lantern]

nevermind not tarbank, its uh, union bank?

[jovial cobalt]

doesnt EOD have a higher transfer rate or is that just kinda defunct now

[carmine lantern]

I forgor, the one in the north west area has like 15 file cabinets or something

[lime mauve]

Ehhh... I'm not confident enough in lexos to clear it solo and I won't hit tarbank if lexos isn't clear lol

[carmine lantern]

oh lol I meant for the bakezy, sorry

[jovial cobalt]

did you know if you hurt kaban that it aggros all of the AI to you and they rush you

[lime mauve]

Weird though because I run labs solo all the time

[carmine lantern]

and I got the banks mixed up

[jovial cobalt]

so kill the guards first and then kaban at the end

[lime mauve]

I did actually. I found that out when I tossed a nade into lexos and like 6 dudes came at me and pushed me into the mines 😂

[jovial cobalt]

im nearing 3000 hours and i never knew that

[lime mauve]

I only had to do it once lol

Just like I only had to meet kollontay once to learn about his weapon jam ability

That dude is an asshole

[jovial cobalt]

i was doing the resort all bosses event without knowing that too

and kollontay was waiting for me in one of the rooms and when i got close he rushed me and i had to fucking juke him and run away

so much fun the first time

[lime mauve]

I've known tagilla and killa are both psycho and shturman is absolutely cracked at range

And I knew glukhar has a silly amount of guards compared to all the other bosses

Killa, tagilla, and reshala are the only behaviors I kinda know and understand well enough that I could fight them

Most of the others are a shot in the dark unless I can shoot them at a range and from an angle where they can't shoot me back

[distant obsidian]

maybe long ago before pve sync

[tulip citrus]

i killed muhawiii

[distant obsidian]

yep, hes got a pmc

[jovial cobalt]

i think it was ye

before hardcore, then hardcore changed the transfer rates and i think it stayed that way since or barely got buffed by like 250k

[vocal iris]

Clarify for me: if you die in Terminal, you lose nothing aside from the keycard?

[manic pewter]

yes

[vocal iris]

Do you wake up outside the raid?

Like as if you died normally

[manic pewter]

you get sent to your stash with the same inventory you went into terminal with

[vocal iris]

Ah so anything you expended in the Shoreline run to get there stays gone

ty

[tulip citrus]

shoreline is hell bro

js went there and sanitar guards almost killed me

[manic pewter]

would be odd if they didnt try to do that

[distant obsidian]

that has nothing to do with terminal

[tulip citrus]

if i was talking about terminal i would have used a feature called reply

[distant obsidian]

bosses have fixed areas

just avoid those areas

[tulip citrus]

didn't talk about that tho?

[distant obsidian]

yes you did

[toxic patio]

can you transit OUT of factory right now?

[tulip citrus]

i didn't mention about boss areas

[distant obsidian]

avoid boss areas

shoreline is not hell lol

[tulip citrus]

no?

for me it is

[distant obsidian]

then avoid boss areas

do you want to talk in circles a few more times?

[tulip citrus]

i gotta do quests

[manic pewter]

i hate to say it, but thats a skill issue

[tulip citrus]

do you want to keep saying the same nonsense every second?

[tulip citrus]

ik

[distant obsidian]

everyone here gets what I am saying except you

[tulip citrus]

i survived tho and got the marker quest

[distant obsidian]

if your struggling, avoid the FIXED spawn locations for the boss

[jovial cobalt]

🍿

[distant obsidian]

how else can Iword this for?

do you understand now?

[jovial cobalt]

shoreline is fine for me except for the goons

[distant obsidian]

not sure if I can use smaller words

[manic pewter]

man i wish the new healing system would fuck off

[jovial cobalt]

im always wary when moving in that huge field

[tulip citrus]

that's the thing, i didn't ask for advice, i talked about almost dying to boss and i said how shoreline is hell

i didn't ask about advice

[toxic patio]

well

[tulip citrus]

very useful to know that i shouldn't go to these areas even tho i have quests on them

[jovial cobalt]

lmfao

[distant obsidian]

I just cant

[toxic patio]

welcome to tarkov, everyone here thinks new players are morons and tries to tell them what to do lmao

[distant obsidian]

some people man

[tulip citrus]

no it's just this guy

[distant obsidian]

keep getting farmed then. Idk what to tell you

[tulip citrus]

he's been on some arguments before and keeps replying me with crazy nonsense

[tulip citrus]

i'm not getting farmed

[distant obsidian]

sure

[tulip citrus]

7 raids in without dying btw

[jovial cobalt]

you said sanitar almost killed you

that means youve died 30 times to him in the past 5 min

right

[tulip citrus]

shit ur right

i should quit tarkov 😢

[jovial cobalt]

spiritual death*

ive been getting smacked by the cleanup crew

[toxic patio]

shoreline is hell though

[distant obsidian]

7 raids. If thats good for you then gratz

[jovial cobalt]

peek and immediately get my brain blown up

[toxic patio]

he is right there on shoreline being hell

map just fucking blows

[distant obsidian]

shoreline is a great map

big W

[toxic patio]

yeah it's great

for when i need to go labrynth

[distant obsidian]

never need to go there

1 run and done

[tulip citrus]

does the event give good or mediocre loot?

cuz i heard a lot about gp but they saying u can only hold 10 gp coins each raid which i don't think is a good way to farm gp 🤷‍♂️

[carmine lantern]

its for xp mostly

[manic pewter]

damn, sbih done on reserve in one go

did not expect that

[halcyon depot]

hey do usec rogues count as PMCs

[manic pewter]

no

[carmine lantern]

they count as rogues

[halcyon depot]

yeh didnt think so

ok thanks

[manic pewter]

they count as bosses in the statistics though

[halcyon depot]

i see

thanks

[stiff scaffold]

fence tells me that I need 4.0 rep, I already have 4.0 rep

exactly 4,0

do I just need to do one more raid or something?

[distant obsidian]

yes

over

[shy basin]

or try closing and reopening game

[stiff scaffold]

i'll just do one scav raid and see if it works

don't feel like doing a car extract

[tulip citrus]

go to customs and fight pmc's there at bsg servers

[distant obsidian]

he doesnt need that much rep. Just a survive

[rare field]

@distant obsidian Surely, Icebreaker Tomorrow

Chek said so

[cyan sphinx]

do you think Icebreaker will have a quest to open it or nah?

[distant obsidian]

He did

[rare field]

#pve-chat message

damn right

[distant obsidian]

[stone harbor]

@distant obsidian That rage baiter got me banned along with him. I should have been more mature and just ignored him. Learned my lesson. XD
@worthy otter My sincere apology, I got carried away even with a prior ssoft warning. Will note this as another life experience and discord lesson.

[plush panther]

will give Labyrinth another shot today, I have a 6B43, Rys-T, 7.62 MDR with 250 rounds of M993, meds, stims. Anything I'm forgetting?

[carmine lantern]

bring a stim or 2 that can be an antidote like blue blood, and multitool to clear tripwires

[spice imp]

luck, a pray and hopefuly lube cause tagilla will be coming real fast for ya

[plush panther]

I have that, my stim case is 2 propitals, 2 zagustins, etg, and xtg-12

[spice imp]

uh

[plush panther]

I know what's coming for me, I went there 4 times before and got shafted every time

[spice imp]

i recommend an sj12 and dont bring a grizzly it takes to long to heal it

and if im being honest coming the elitle skill grind doing surgey more than 4 time is a waste and youll die sooner to a flick id just sau keep it to a CMS

extra food

lot of it

[plush panther]

I'm not worried about food, I have metabolism maxed, and I'll be taking a salewa instead of a grizzly then, thanks

[spice imp]

yes and tigz split is blessing to have there

idk think i've never not fractured something there at least once

[plush panther]

I think I'm set then

I'll go there later today

[spice imp]

let me know if youd like any help

[plush panther]

with my primary objective being just finishing the story quest

[spice imp]

Id love to show my big hard Mjolnir

[halcyon depot]

yeh but was your Mjolnir forged in the heart of a dying sun

[gusty whale]

Bit late xD but just hold a corner and wait for them to push you, if you feel overwhelmed run back to the next corner

[unique island]

Dont have the balls to run Labrynth yet despite already having the story quest to do it. Every video I watch of that place makes it look like a fucking death trap haha

[wild bane]

Just bring shit you can afford to lose. But you will want good ammo for the bosses

[unique island]

Same with the current Factory event, I can barely handle Kaban without shitting my pants 4 times during the fight

[wild bane]

Killa or tagilla you mean

Kaban is on streets

[unique island]

I heard that the current Factory event has Taguilla and Killa + the cleanup crew so the first comparison that jumped to mind was Kabans place haha

Sorry for the confusion

[wild bane]

All good it took me a while to learn all the boss names

And I still call reshala gluhar and vise versa in the heat of the moment

[unique island]

Oh I definately can do it and have more than enough ammo and gear, its just 100% nerves in my part

Ill tackle it eventually when I feel up to it

[jovial cobalt]

i consider being confident in clearing labrys a milestone

[unique island]

It was the same thing for me when I first went to Labs, when I first fought a boss, etc

[jovial cobalt]

its definitely nervewracking atleast for me even if i knowh ow to deal with it

[wild bane]

What I did when I didn't know what I was doing in there is just bring a cheap kit. Yea the keycard is kinda expensive but you can always go find the stuff you need for it. Then go for labrynth. Although back when I first did it the bosses werent 100% its definitely alot harder now. But that's how I farm good 5.45 killa and tagilla can both have either bt bs or ignolnik which is the best of the best basically.

It's just scawy af

[gilded mesa]

what ammo u used for those two bosses?

[gusty whale]

Don't care who you are, everyone is nervous for their first labyrinth run

[jovial cobalt]

m993 or igolnik usually

[wild bane]

The factory event reminds me of labrynth cuz the ecavs you see in labrynth are kinda like the cleanup crew but with not quite as good shit

[jovial cobalt]

the more time goes on the more i am preferring higher calibers because damn, 5.45 and 5.56 damage just aint it for bosses sometimes

[gusty whale]

762x51 is best by far, m80a1, m61 and m993 all work great

[gilded mesa]

idk why but igolnik doesnt spawn on labs but m993 does, im considering bringing Scar-H

[wild bane]

Definitely either m993, ssa ap for 5.56. bs or igolnik for 5.45

[jovial cobalt]

i dont think any eastern ammo spawns on labs right

[gilded mesa]

oh and funny enough ledx spawned on red room

[wild bane]

You can get some 338 on labs

[gusty whale]

They spawns randomly, but not in any of the high loot areas, that's all nato (except mai ap)

[gilded mesa]

oh the 338 i got it covered, plenty of AP 338 farmed

[wild bane]

But yea mostly just ssa ap or 993 is the good shit

[jovial cobalt]

338 machine gun when

[wild bane]

Hopefully never lol

[unique island]

I must be weird for basically just using M855/PS for basically almost everything and still being fine most of the time. Sure firefights are more scrappy but I kinda like it that way.

[jovial cobalt]

lol yeah maybe a bit op

[gusty whale]

I mean for normal fights that's more than fine, I only use 56a1 usually. For labyrinth though you'd die 95% of the time with that ammo unless you cheese the bosses

[wild bane]

Yea that's the baseline for decent ammo you can buy in bulk for those calibers. I still use them just cause I can replace it easily even though I have thousands upon thousands of bt and m856ai

[jovial cobalt]

probably could clear terminal with m855/ps

headshots on black division and besides that they dnot have visors so

[gusty whale]

If you're hitting heads sure

[unique island]

Do you guys know places where its easier to find ammo because I never seem to find them in the quanties other people do

[jovial cobalt]

woods usec camp, batya camp, train depot

interchange batya camps like the one outside and the one inside idea kitchen

[wild bane]

Reserve woods or streets are decent for ammo. I prefer streets tbh. Just gotta know where to look

Lighthouse water treatment rooftops are good to but gotta clear the rogues

[unique island]

People say woods and reserve but Ive tried farming ammo and I never find anything

Like ever

[gusty whale]

Go train depot woods

[wild bane]

Just gotta know where to look tbh

[unique island]

You mean where the BTR goes?

[gusty whale]

Basically guaranteed 300+ good 545 bullets

[gusty whale]

Yeah

[wild bane]

Tons at usec camp on woods too

[unique island]

Ngl Ive actually never been there HAHA

[gusty whale]

I find usec hit and miss, half the ammo is good, half bad. Train depot is like 90%+ good ammo

[unique island]

I know you have to take the BTR, but I only started properly learning the thing this wipe

[warped anvil]

Could somebody list some guns parts on the flea for me please?

[gusty whale]

It's easy enough, just gotta be careful getting out over the train to not blow yourself up

[wild bane]

When you get there in the btr pay for him to go to old sawmill them get out quickly. His next stop will be the train depot so you can loot and take him to exfil (if you don't have minefield map)

[unique island]

In older versions of the game I used to find tons of ammo in the watch towers on Reserve. I checked a few days ago and I couldnt find much of anything

[wild bane]

Yea fair it's pretty hit or miss but btr isn't required. Most raids you won't even see the btr unless you are actively looking for him at usec checkpoint or sawmill

[unique island]

Yeah I kinda know the process behind it already, just never really ever had done it

[wild bane]

The roofs of white queen and all the buildings is where I find the ammo mostly

[gusty whale]

Tbf I see btr more often than not, although my woods route is relatively fixed

[wild bane]

Yea I think he's a 80% spawn rate? 90%?

[jovial cobalt]

i try to make mental notes of wherever i find ammo and try to apply that to other maps too

[wild bane]

But it could take him up to 15 minutes to spawn and I believe he will always come into the map at green flare and stop at usec checkpoint

[jovial cobalt]

bunch of ammo spawning around green ammo box objects? okay any time unlootable ammo boxes are on any other maps i check around it to see if anythign spawned

[wild bane]

Yea those unlootable weapon boxes almost always have ammo

[jovial cobalt]

or the hollow green ammo boxes with the lids ripped off, ammo boxes can spawn inside i think

[unique island]

This one Im not too familiar with though, I know that you can get to UN roadblock from the train boxes in the tracks but dont know the specifics. Ill just watch a video when I eventually do it, maybe after I install my new GPU later today

[gusty whale]

Always comes new sawmill, usually between 25-35 mins left on raid, so I usually just loot bunker then go kill shturman and by that point btr is there

[unique island]

Ill keep that in mind the next time Im there. I barely checked the buildings haha

[gusty whale]

Just be sure to stay in the middle of the train roofs and you'll be fine

[wild bane]

You just climb the trains and go over the office and walk on the train it's kinda hard to fuck it up. Just make sure you drop your backpack at the end and bring a splint or you will break your legs

And stay in the middle of the train when you are on top the border snipers can hit you if you go too far to one side

[unique island]

I heard that Interchange has been a good spot for ammo yeah, especially in the new parts they added. I should check there too

[wild bane]

Yea the new spots are decent not so much anywhere in the mall besides tsgillas hideout

[gusty whale]

You'd be surprised, seen so many people hit landmines or get sniped at because they're unable to walk in the middle of a 2 meter wide train

[jovial cobalt]

the batya camps are huge for ak ammo

[wild bane]

I had a Timmy die to that one day even though I told him to follow my footsteps. Got sniped panicked then walked off the side lol

Is there anyway you can get my stuff? Um no bud that shit is gone sorry

[gusty whale]

Lmfao

[jovial cobalt]

lmao

[unique island]

I made the same mistake when I learned how to do flare extracts for the first time, so I can relate haha

[jovial cobalt]

i have a good prank idea

take friend to flare extract and shoot the flare and confidently start to run towards extract but the flare is actually a white flare and you stop to eat food or something for a sec and make your friend run into the sniper

[wild bane]

https://youtu.be/Li9tm8I6D-k?si=sHuMX8EAXvefBndC
Watch this video and the minefield one they helped me learn alot about how they work

[jovial cobalt]

jbobyh is goated

[unique island]

Thanks, Ill add that to my watch later haha

[jovial cobalt]

his videos on grenades and rshg2 are cool too

[wild bane]

Facts wish he'd upload more

[jovial cobalt]

we must let the chef cook !

[wild bane]

Are those English dubbed too?

[jovial cobalt]

no :(

[unique island]

When I first started playing Tarkov a friend of mine told me that if I dropped keys in front of the dorms marked room in customs, it upped my chances to find a marked custom key in game

[jovial cobalt]

the visuals are pretty good so its kinda easy to tell what he's explaining

[jovial cobalt]

LMAO

drop your gamma container on the marked circle and next raid you'll get insane loot

[unique island]

Okay he wasnt that sadistic

HAHA

[wild bane]

Can you even drop your secure container without it getting deleted? Lmao

[jovial cobalt]

probably not anymore?

[unique island]

Dunno, never tried LOL

[jovial cobalt]

you used to waayayyyy back

[unique island]

I started playing the game right around the time Reserve first came out so Ive been around for a while haha

Never got anywhere in game though until PvE mode came out despite basically playing most wipes until then

[jovial cobalt]

ive played since shoreline before resort was added and i was kinda the same

i got kappa in 2021 but im pretty sure after that i only played very very casually or to like level 20 each wipe until like 2024

[unique island]

LOL I think in every wipe before PvE came out I had to reset my account at least once because Id get so god damn broke that I would have nothing in my inventory, like 100 roubles, not even a knife

My girlfriend had to have an intervention with me because she would get so concerned about how upset I would get over the game

Good times haha

[gusty whale]

No one who doesn't play tarkov can comprehend the pain of tarkov. It's almost as bad as being offline raided on rust at 4 am

[jovial cobalt]

i broke a monitor over factory pvp

[stone harbor]

you said it was a good time, but to her, it is, maybe, a bit mortifying and desperate to save her BF

she is a good girl

[unique island]

Thankfully the worst thing Tarkov has made me do was break down crying, never broke anything or crashed out

[jovial cobalt]

i got so mad when i died on labryinth one of the last times lol

i just got off the game after

[gusty whale]

Back when I was 14 I broke a mouse playing CS. In my defense it was a ball mouse and would spas out whenever I tried flick to something

[unique island]

Weirdly enough I only started succeeding in PvP after PvE became a thing. I went from not being able to kill a real player to even sometimes being able to fight trios. Was even able to get to an Epsilon case on the PvP sode of things before I went full PvE.

Turns out if you just have a place where you can learn and kinda find your footing, it can turn out great for instead of taking 5 steps in a raid and getting head eyes by Chad Thundercock sitting in a bush on the other side of the map

[gusty whale]

Ye tbh I think they should make it like grayzone where you can toggle a shared stash between pvp and pve, would require some reworks to flea market though

[unique island]

Still will never play PvP again though, Im too old and senile now haha

[unique island]

Ive been thinking of picking up Grayzone now that I have a new GPU. Anything that can give me another PvE Tarkov experience is somethint Im interested in.

[gusty whale]

Idk I think if people had a method to get items easier when down bad, more casuals would stick with pvp. I mean on wipes game was majority pvp, but people would then move back to pve towards mid of wipes

[unique island]

She is the love of my life haha

[unique island]

Honestly I feel like making an extraction shooter thats more friendly to a casual crowd is a tough balance. People mention Ark Raiders but thats more Tarkov for VRChat players than it is an actual extraction shooter imo

[wild bane]

Ark raiders was fun for the first week it just doesn't have the long term playability that tarkov offers

And no pve mode

[unique island]

Maybe a shared stash system would make it a lot easier, or a way of transferring between the two. I dont know how that would go from a balance perspective

[unique island]

Its why I didnt buy it in the end funnily enough haha

[gusty whale]

Genuinely don't think most pve players prefer pve to pvp, just they prefer pve as it is now to pvp as it is now. I agree the two are mutually exclusive, what's best for casuals is usually worse for competitive players. But don't really see the downside for either by letting casuals bring gear from pve to pvp. Casuals get loot they can actually fight with, comp players get more loot and more importantly more fights

Only issue would be long term balance for new players. Would work better with the new seasonal system rather than permanent characters

[unique island]

I mean you could also do things like free loadouts you can get at any time like Hunt Showdown. I feel the system is kinda already there with scavs anyway.

I think Arena Breakout does the same thing?

[gusty whale]

Ye problem is scav gear aint gonna help a casual who can't aim for shit as is kill a good player. Plus if they do, and big if, get good gear, they won't bring it out till last day of wipe

[unique island]

Yeah especially since low fence rep scav gear might as well be free LOL

[gusty whale]

Yup, it's like the hardcore softcore debate, hardcore make things feel more valuable, softcore brings more pvp and action

[unique island]

I think extraction shooters are always going to be niche for that reason, its too inaccessible for the average player imo

I think Grayzone and Tarkov do a good job with their PvE modes but unless youre Ark Raiders its not gonna hit the mainstream most likely

I mean just look at Marathon, game seems fun and I hear good things from people I trust but its not exactly doing too hot either.

[rapid urchin]

[autumn topaz]

anyone know a good m995 spawn 😎 i need good ammo

[trail sail]

Streets in Terragroup Armory

[wild bane]

Labs labs and more labs

[trail sail]

Yeah Labs too

[wild bane]

995 and ssa ap out the ass

[autumn topaz]

iglognik vs 7n40 which is stronger?

[wild bane]

Hit up the security room beside the residential unit, weapon testing, and red keycard room.

[wild bane]

Igolnik has highest pen lowish damage 7n40 is decent pen high damage.

[stone harbor]

how about Grey Zone Warfare PvE? I felt it is a more polished Tarkov, or at least, a bit better overall, but still feel arcade-ish

[gusty whale]

Generally 7n40 is better

[jovial cobalt]

7n40 is like generally better i would say

but i use igolnik against tagilla or killa

or labrys

[stone harbor]

7N40s and Igoniks, you are so rich Bosh

[autumn topaz]

I got a lot of iglognik and some 7n40 I always run out of 545x39 fast

[trail sail]

120-pack of 7n40 was like a mil and a half at one point

[jovial cobalt]

well i dont have any right now lol

im using 5.45 bt

like a scrub

[stone harbor]

I havent touched those rounds in my stash yet, and hopefully I can save them for a good Laby run with friends

They have almost reached the Laby, and imma be ready to fuck 'em bad bois to help my buddies finish the quests

[wild bane]

I gotta go back there for the story missions I finally decided to do

[iron marsh]

i used my epsilon container for the main story. but now i need it for the fence quest. is there a way to get another one?

[raw nest]

Igolnik but 7n40 mixed with bs is godly

[raw nest]

No

You get one and that’s it

[iron marsh]

bruh. i guess i wont get those 400k exp then

[raw nest]

Get theta

[wild bane]

Nope gotta do kappa or play arena for theta

[iron marsh]

im not doing it to use the container. but fence want it 😄

[wild bane]

Fence wants it at lvl 50 for 1.1 scav rep and some xp thats it

[iron marsh]

yep

[wild bane]

Don't give it to him if you don't have kappa

[raw nest]

Or theta

Also theta best container in the game

[iron marsh]

i have kappa. thats why i dont care

[raw nest]

You can put things that you can’t into kappa

[wild bane]

Kappa is def better then theta

[raw nest]

Kappa is heavy and you can’t put it some items into it

[iron marsh]

im using my container only for meds because im lazy to refill them after death. so i dont mind that fact 😄

[wild bane]

The only thing you can put in theta but not kappa is shit like earbuds armour plates and other gear

Fuck all that I'd rather have the 2 slots

[stone harbor]

Epsilon is my best secure container and I grind Kappa only for achievement mentality

[jovial cobalt]

cleanup crew count as scavs right

[iron marsh]

they should

[wild bane]

I'm not sure but probably

[jovial cobalt]

got a weekly for killing 10 scav with vpo101

time to bring it in fac

[iron marsh]

should be easy. use some m80 and your job is done

[steep kettle]

Are you guys experiencing lag?

[hoary stag]

yes

[steep kettle]

(In the UI / Trading screen)

[jovial cobalt]

im a noob and cant buy m80 yet

[jolly hazel]

im getting massive lag on traders and flea

[hoary stag]

severall https backend errors after a lag

in character and trader as well here

[dusky arch]

Okay I'm 100% sure Icebreaker is releasing this week and I'm 60% confident it'll release today/tomorrow or at the very least TarkovTV will

[jolly hazel]

Soon.Tm

[jovial cobalt]

this month at least

[trail sail]

I'm thinking Thursday this or next week

[dusky arch]

This week, 100%

[willow tinsel]

What if u guys find out Icebreaker is just factory reskin with no new additions

[dusky arch]

Seeing as how Nikita has been posting random pictures every day

[dusky arch]

not happening lol

[willow tinsel]

But imagine that happening in another multiverse

Same AI, Tagilla with same loadout, there a small puddle of water and a few bricks of ice outside

[jovial cobalt]

WHAT THE FUCK

how does tagilla run so fast

[willow tinsel]

hes drugged

You out of all ppl know that

[jovial cobalt]

lol yeaah

i just was running away from him and turned around too soon and he was still right there

[steep kettle]

Anyone with a spare Chek 15 key willing to put it on the Flea?

[willow tinsel]

isnt there a single one

[quartz vector]

Just got error 3 times in a row trying to load into raid with my friend...

[wild bane]

You got bad internet probably

[jovial cobalt]

evil internet

[rancid tundra]

Bangladesh internet

[quartz vector]

Nah we both have good internet and we live in the same city, shouldn't be an internet issue

Someone else said he's had this problem for 3 weeks and I thought they fixed it yesterday because I didn't get it a single time but now this happened

[magic yacht]

Yea ive also been having issues with my friends, where they get an error the moment we start loading into a raid

[rancid tundra]

Yeah same. Last patch. Same story as same city+internet.

[rancid tundra]

You're not alone

[quartz vector]

Yeah

[cosmic patrol]

omg icebreaker

[icy rock]

SAM servers were down

[toxic holly]

im correct in assuming if i go night factory i wont have to deal with killas fuck ass right?

[raw nest]

Yup

[toxic holly]

No killa but my first night run got cultists

I have two more knives now :3

[steep kettle]

Just got killed by a Scav using an ak 74 shooting PS rounds that penetrated the Thorax on my class 6 Green Zhuk Armor.

[tropic python]

holy shit i havnt ragequit like this in a whiile. looted 4 ASIC(the solar thing part) and 2 SOFCOM thingies on reserve, was heading to path to shoreline and got shot in the back of my head from a god damn scavvie boi. Now i need 30 min break.

[wild bane]

Lucky its a 1/8 to run into them on night factory

[toxic holly]

no fun guns tho

they all had stms

[wild bane]

Any marked keys?

[toxic holly]

no :(

two knives tho

[wild bane]

Unlucky

[toxic holly]

indeed

i had no idea they were even there until i threw an f1 and got the they are here task

[gusty reef]

It is much lower than 1/8

[warped imp]

Why is factory not available now? Update now?

[gusty reef]

oh, strange

[loud lance]

Surely agains't TOS buddy.. sharing scraping websites

[inland elk]

killa and tagilla and a bunch of ai are there, no scav in factory

[west juniper]

Morning boys

how you guys doing

[loud lance]

Event ends in less than 3 hours if nohing changed again

[wild bane]

this is a website everyone uses tf are you on about

[inland elk]

the discord tos

[loud lance]

Oh everyone use... that must be alright lol

Is that TOS @stone goblet ?

[mossy blade]

Why is Icebreaker winter if its going to be in the summer?

[stone goblet]

yes

that is a TOS website

@wild bane do not link or discuss sites that violate TOS

[loud lance]

It's gonna be summer unless Icebreaker happens outside the map 🤔

[wild bane]

my fault for trying to help people and share usefull resources with information about the game i guess

[loud lance]

Ok that's what I told the guy... thanks

[stone goblet]

useful or not, its against tos

[magic yacht]

This might sound odd but the pictures could possibly be yet unused map data that was made during the winter season

[loud lance]

'everyone use it' lol

[magic yacht]

Yea I only have two sources for my information and one is the wiki

[loud lance]

Yeah, it was meant to release during winter probably... 🤷‍♂️

[wild bane]

teachers pet looking ahhh 😂

im just trynna help people bud

[plush panther]

went in, got shafted sideways by Tagilla moving at the speed of sound

[loud lance]

Yeah me too.. the 2nd is my brain

[magic yacht]

I think its either going to be a map outside of the norvinsk region or at the edge of it, or the pictures were made during winter

[loud lance]

It's barely helping... stats about bosses spaw rate are mostly a suggestions.

[stone goblet]

we can move on now

[loud lance]

Yeah somewhere in the north

[fallen mason]

Because the artic ocean sits right to the north of Russia and you know has ice year round. Seeing how it looks like a helicopter that'll bring us there the ship is most likely in the ice waters that sit within the artic ocean.

[loud lance]

Would be nice to see a map expansion coming with it.. ngl

[mossy blade]

Yeah maybe itll be accessed via Batya progrss

[vernal spindle]

What do i spend my money on im at 100 mil and its just taking up space at this point lol

[inland elk]

me?

[vernal spindle]

Only if its phat

[inland elk]

whats phat is the 200k euros for stash 4

[vernal spindle]

I have enough room already

Thats only 30 mil

[inland elk]

i have 17

[vernal spindle]

Ill just buy all marked keys again mayhaps

Back down to 28 mil now

[wild bane]

does that fall under rule #3? where exactly does it say not to share websites like that? does that basically mean any website that isnt the wiki isnt allowed? im so confused.

[stone goblet]

rule 3 yes

that site you posted has datamined information from a source that datamines

[vernal spindle]

Naughty naughty

[inland elk]

hold, up a while ago i was banned for rule 3, but i 100% didnt post any links

[wild bane]

i see i suppose the rule is not very clear on that part at all but i digress

[stone goblet]

muted is not a ban but you dont have to link stuff to violate rule 3

[west juniper]

For the quest, return the favor, do you guys wait 15 minutes in the new bunker ? or do you wait 15 minutes left in the run ?

[wild bane]

so basically any site that isnt the wiki is ok?

[stone goblet]

you just have to make sure the sources in the site arent datamining

[wild bane]

am i aloud to speak in confidence and say the cultists are 30% on customs right now? or can i not quote it either.

cuz i know ive said stuff like that before and never knew it was against the rules

[stone goblet]

still discussing datamined information

[west juniper]

just not give your sources I guess ? idk

[wild bane]

wild rule but hey its your house i just live in it

thank you for the clarification

[stone goblet]

its tarkov tos

the server follows it

[wild bane]

i understand. just a wild rule imo

but thats not up for debate so

[worthy otter]

I don’t think it’s that wild

[west juniper]

True. Did anybody complete return the favor here ?

[wild bane]

how do i start the unheard story mission? i went to the scientist key room on ground zero but the note wasnt there for me

do i need unheard to do this quest??

[worthy otter]

No.

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

[wild bane]

yea i went to the first spot in ground zero for the note but it wasnt there thats why im confused

[inland elk]

I hate the scav mp9 with no scope/irons

[wild bane]

it says the note will be in 2 dif spots on streets or on gz but it wasnt there for me

[worthy otter]

It’s only on Ground Zero if you’re level 21+

[wild bane]

im lvl 53

[worthy otter]

Otherwise you’ll have to get it from Streets

[wild bane]

guy i was with was lvl 30 something

guess ill try streets it might be bugged

[west juniper]

Maybe you already took it but never read it. Check your key items and read them all one by one.

I have a friend who could not progress some quests because he did not know he already had the items, just not read them

[mossy blade]

I need to kill 29 PMCs on Woods 😭

[west juniper]

29 ? for what ?

[mossy blade]

Debtor

The ending

[west juniper]

Aaaaah yeah I see

good luck man. just run wherever you hear gunshots I guess

[mossy blade]

And 15 of them have the be around the mountain for Return the Favor

[sweet ravine]

anyone seen the goons lately?

[west juniper]

nop

[west juniper]

doing this god damn quest right now

what a fun time...

[wild bane]

thats what it was had to read the handbook thank you

[mossy blade]

Honestly it should be changed like Labrys

[wild bane]

always forget about that shit

[mossy blade]

Like Kill 30 PMCs on Woods instead of 15 around the mountain

Or rework their waypoints

[west juniper]

no problem man. Happy it helped. me and my friend were stuck on this problem thinking the game was bugged for multiple hours

[mossy blade]

And have them walk through the mountain not only around it

They could get a navmesh for the AI off a special mod page

Which cant be mentioned here

[west juniper]

XD

[mossy blade]

Like a couple tweaks and we could have a complete version of navigation for AI

[magic yacht]

Thats literally the worst problem for return the favor

[mossy blade]

The reason most people dont do it

And I wont eiyher

Because Im starting Zero2Hero once I do Debtor

And chase for Fallen

[magic yacht]

Complete RNG if the AI decides to navigate to a POI that is on the other side of the mountain, giving you an opportunity to kill them inside the zone

[west juniper]

going for all 4 endings are you ?

[mossy blade]

Ill go for survivor once prestiges are introduced

[magic yacht]

I still think Return the Favor and Capturing Outposts need a change because of that

[west juniper]

why not before ?

[mossy blade]

Because Survivor is a pain in the ass

[west juniper]

I agree

is it not the easiest to get though ?

[wild bane]

return the favor is such bullshit

[mossy blade]

Yeah

Its not meant to be a very hard task on PVP

[wild bane]

you expect me to sit on the mountain for hours on end finding pmc that dont ever run near it?

[mossy blade]

Nikita: Yes

[west juniper]

Yeah. they could tweek some stuff on pve.. pls nikita... these quests are not compatible with pve

[mossy blade]

Theres 1 quest thats made only for PVE

[wild bane]

i have 1 pmc kill out of 15. in what like 10 raids? disgusting.

[west juniper]

in the story yeah

[mossy blade]

And its 36 targets on Labrys

[magic yacht]

In terms of amount of tasks yes, but having to grind millions of roubles and then needing 5m per terminal attempt is an extreme time sink

[mossy blade]

Its the SHORTEST ending but the most time consuming

Physically debtor is fastest and easiest

[magic yacht]

No outside of story its vacate the premises, the one where you have to kill PMCs in Labyrinth, it got changed to kill 36 targets on Labyrinth

[west juniper]

I agree, but I mean, if you are about to Escape from tarkov for the fourth time, it might be quite easy.

[mossy blade]

Its LK + 4 tasks and youre given terminal keycard

Im doing more and more practice on arena

Growing slowly better

[toxic holly]

scrongle

[west juniper]

Ah yeah true, there is this one too. I was thinking of the story quest where you have to kill pmc but no scav in shoreline and interchange instead of another one in pvp

[west juniper]

gather 300 mil can be very hard yeah

[magic yacht]

Yea which clearly means that BSG knows that some tasks are compatible with PvE and some arent, so its a bit dissapointing to see some hyper-niche tasks like killing PMCs in a specific area not be looked at in some way, shape or form

[west juniper]

but if you spam labyrinth, in like 20 hours you can get them I feel like. or maybe 30

[west juniper]

yeah :/ maybe one day...

[mossy blade]

Labs are the more profitable option honestly

[magic yacht]

Like Secured Perimeter for instance is still acceptable for what it is because you have PMCs either spawning around or inside the office area, and when they extract they usually rotate through offices

[west juniper]

mmmh maybe, idk. might be tied

[toxic holly]

boss spawn rates are stinky

[mossy blade]

yeah but return the favor is

1. on woods
2. it is very rare for pmcs to rtate around the mountain

maybe in Q2

maybe in Q2

[magic yacht]

But then Capturing Outposts and Return the Favor are so much worse because in the case of woods the PMCs just arent inside the Kill-zone, and in the case of customs for capturing outposts most of the PMCs dont even get to live to enter fortress despite them trying because they either run into other PMCs, Partizan, Goons or Reshala

[west juniper]

Yeah... I don't know if I'll ever be able to complete capturing outposts

[sonic wigeon]

Bro I am getting too lucky with my marked rooms 😭

one RB-BK opening had 2 red rebels

and while i was doing shooter born in heaven I went to Streets

I got 2 ledx's from the abandoned factory marked room 😭

[magic yacht]

Yea thats the other issue I havent pointed out, almost all the time PMCs spawn at outskirts they go to sawmill and then die to Shturman

[marble bronze]

5 mil really isn't that much tbh

especially in PvE

[magic yacht]

It is if you still have to learn Terminal as a map and require multiple attempts because of that

[marble bronze]

That's like, a couple good labs runs

[magic yacht]

Yea, which is still a time sink

[sonic wigeon]

They also spawn in that sniper mountain part around 40-60% of the time for me, but sometimes they wipe each other out because bear and usecs spawn together for some reason

[torpid bluff]

So, what exactly is this "Icebreaker" thing?

[magic yacht]

compared to "Just get a blank RFID card that you could have collected while doing other story chapters/side tasks or just buy them for a tenth of the price"

[sonic wigeon]

new map my friend said basically its like

labyrinth event?

[marble bronze]

Well maybe don't do bad ending then?

[sonic wigeon]

ofc not same size map but basically that

[torpid bluff]

Ah

[torpid bluff]

Thank you!

[cursive spoke]

I have a question. When you go into skill's tab there is a part of the bar's that are green. What does it mean?

[torpid bluff]

EXP gained in last raid

[astral kindle]

Green means what you have leveled in previous/current raid

[marble bronze]

That's the chunk you most recently gained

[cursive spoke]

Ok thx bois

[torpid bluff]

Np

[torpid bluff]

How is your research goin'?

[west juniper]

nice, at least my time farming the new bunker has not been useless. Found two marked keys after about 30 raids

[sonic wigeon]

green is the exp you have just gotten in between raids

for example:
Gym
After a raid
After collection missions with skill rewards

[astral kindle]

Its going good, quite surprised how many toasters can reply about that question

[cursive spoke]

Another one, is it possible to find that RFID encrytpion device or it's just scripted so you need to waste time on labs to than get scammed with bitcoins?

[torpid bluff]

Right?

[sonic wigeon]

I just got RB-BK key while running the same key doing the shooter born in heaven

😭

in a jacket

so always check jacket guys

[torpid bluff]

Yeah, just spend 30-35 Minutes on labs and the thing will fail. The bitcoins are so you can get it somewhere else

[sonic wigeon]

I got it in that pair of jackets near D2 extract

[west juniper]

too lazy for that

but I agree

[torpid bluff]

Always check scavs. 314, Chek 13 and rusted bloody key in like 1-2 weeks of casual gaming

And abandoned factory key

[sonic wigeon]

Abandoned factory looked disappointing for me in the past months but this raid just woke me up

I got 2 ledx's

its either they shadow buffed marked rooms again or I am just getting incredibly lucky

[cursive spoke]

One scav i killed had a ledx, military radio and aesa on him xpp

[torpid bluff]

LedX and Keycards seem way more common in marked rooms

[cursive spoke]

They are juiced sometimes

[sonic wigeon]

thats the problem

I haven't gotten a single ledx

in my whole career

in marked rooms

[torpid bluff]

And now 2

[sonic wigeon]

yeah just now 2

lmfao

[torpid bluff]

Stuff is shadow buffed, I believe too.

[sonic wigeon]

and I said this earlier

I got 2 red rebels in a RB-BK opening

which was

big

[gusty whale]

They aren't that common at all in marked rooms, way more common labs or their fixed spawns on other maps

[sonic wigeon]

its almost the same price as a ledx

[torpid bluff]

Out of 10 openings 4x there was at least one ledx. It is WILD

[sonic wigeon]

While the difference is small*

Strangely enough I've found more ledx's on scavs than labs or fixed spawns

[gusty whale]

You're getting extremely lucky then, that or they buffed the rooms very recently

[west juniper]

don't forget to check where the books are in new black room in labs. Found once two colored keycards and one more in the safe.

[torpid bluff]

I find them more inside of containers

[sonic wigeon]

but also I think they just buffed

the drop rate for all items

[gusty whale]

Ledx on scavs is crazy ngl

[sonic wigeon]

I've gotten 3 black key cards in this month from killing bosses

[torpid bluff]

Praise be RNGesus

[sonic wigeon]

1 from tagilla in interchange and 2 from knight of goons

[torpid bluff]

The bosses just give me cash

[sonic wigeon]

lmfao

[west juniper]

thank fuck. 13/15 for return the favor. Next run might be the one

[torpid bluff]

But scam me too. 160k on reshala is not uncommon

[sonic wigeon]

I almost missed

a black keycard on knight

and I only noticed because I unloaded his gun for the m61

[gusty whale]

I always have terrible card luck on bosses. Make up for it with marked rooms tho

[sonic wigeon]

then I saw the black keycard in his pockets

[torpid bluff]

Do cultists spawn more often with other players?

[sonic wigeon]

I realized then that I shouldn't skim on looting

[sonic wigeon]

I've had my former sherpa try to hunt a priest for that story quest

but guess what

I was helping him

and no cultist spawned

in like

10 raids sorry

[torpid bluff]

That's my solo experience

[sonic wigeon]

I was lucky

that I found their group

[west juniper]

My literal first scav I looted of the 1.0 release had 314 key... I don't know what god I had prayed the day before, but he for sure heard me

[torpid bluff]

I once had some guy come in, I complained and then there they were.

[sonic wigeon]

on my 2nd try

[torpid bluff]

The god of fear and hunger

[gusty whale]

You either see one every raid, or won't see them in 50 raids

[sonic wigeon]

You know the sad thing is

on our

2nd attempt

they spawned

he killed the goons

like the priest goons

/gaurds

[west juniper]

damn. not sure how I would be if it was really him

[sonic wigeon]

then while trying to kill the priest

the priest naded himself

so he didnt get the kill

[torpid bluff]

Tarkov player

[sonic wigeon]

and now we are still stuck with the priest kill

[west juniper]

true

[torpid bluff]

🗿

[gusty whale]

Happened to me when I needed 2 kills for the story quest "they are already here", priest naded himself 4 times -_-

[torpid bluff]

I had partizan trip over his own wire before.

[sonic wigeon]

we knew it was the priest because only he wears like the weird edgy hood coat

the gaurds wears the coat with no hood

[torpid bluff]

Yeee

[sonic wigeon]

what how

the wiki said he cant trip wires

[gusty whale]

He cant

[sonic wigeon]

did a scav just pass him and just screw him over

[torpid bluff]

He probably put one infront of the door and closed it

[gusty whale]

Probs a scav or door yeah

[sonic wigeon]

THE DOOR

CAN TRIGGER THOSE?

[torpid bluff]

I think they can

It was on crackhouse exit towards fortress

[sonic wigeon]

anyways my beloved marlin is carrying me through shooter born in heaven rn

[gusty whale]

Ye the gas room in labyrinth always has a tripwire outside the door you trigger opening it

[torpid bluff]

Marlin is so beautiful for that ngl

[sonic wigeon]

I went to laby only thrice

1. to finish the story quest
2. to help finish the story quest of my sherpa
3. because I was kidnapped(forced) to do laby

the worse thing about laby is that no loot spawns because i heard you need a minimum amount of pmcs to do so?

like the loot is gonna be horrible aside from body loot

[gusty whale]

That's just false info

[torpid bluff]

Loot scales with available people?

[sonic wigeon]

is it?

because like

the 3 times i went there

[gusty whale]

Ye loot is rng

[west juniper]

what no ? I solo laby every time for fun

[torpid bluff]

Laby never was too good loot wise for me.

[sonic wigeon]

I am not joking a ground zero raid would yield more

[west juniper]

get like 5 mil at the very least out of every run with busted ammo from bosses

[sonic wigeon]

maybe I just missed loots* but I went around the high value spots and nothing was there in our 3 raids

[west juniper]

once I got like 35 mil in one run because tagilla had 314

[gusty whale]

Bad luck or didn't see loot

[torpid bluff]

I get either AP20 or SP Slug Tagilla and sometimes a BP Killa

[sonic wigeon]

my blind ass almost missed a ledx sitting right on my cursor so that's probably the case

[torpid bluff]

Twice had Killa with Luger CCI

[west juniper]

I always get killa with MAI AP or igolnik

very rarely he has BS

but sometimes tagilla has igolnik or bs too

[torpid bluff]

Mythic Killa

[west juniper]

I once got like 500 igolnik on one run. was so good hahha

[gusty whale]

Ye vengeful killa defo best mai ap farm

[torpid bluff]

Factory Ammo Loot would be crazy if I survived

[gusty whale]

Tbf I aint getting that good ammo from them

[sonic wigeon]

literally

killed everything in there

[west juniper]

I don't find that good ammo on factory too

best I found was SP-6

[sonic wigeon]

and then dced because somehow my ethernet is also lagging

like??

[torpid bluff]

M62 stackwise, BS, AP20, Flechettes, SP-6 Too, 4 60 rounders M855A1

[sonic wigeon]

I came back to reconnect

the game said the server was closed or the raid was over

so that means

I either died

or just that weird MIA thing

[west juniper]

BS on bosses I assume ?

[sonic wigeon]

idk why that happens tho

[gusty whale]

Correction, I find good ammo just not enough to warrent what you spend

[torpid bluff]

No

[west juniper]

damn, never had that luck

[torpid bluff]

Spend less

[vernal spindle]

Ssa ap for all scavs

[torpid bluff]

No

[west juniper]

uh, I saw the first time

[sonic wigeon]

I have 2k of all 3 good 556 ammo but I am like too conservative to use them

I am like

[vernal spindle]

Literally my problem too

[sonic wigeon]

"Should I spend this now?"
"Nah let's just use m855 it's good enough"

[torpid bluff]

Let me show you guys my ammo collection....

I hoard that shit like candy

[gusty whale]

I mean I can spend 10x less ammo labs and get 4x more ammo back looting than off factory

[vernal spindle]

I have 3500 ssa ap 3000 m995

I never use 556 guns

[torpid bluff]

You need one bullet per enemy

With good aim and rng that is

[west juniper]

true

[west juniper]

what bullet you using man

[torpid bluff]

One that does enough dmg on head

[gusty whale]

I mean even if you do that, which is a big if, that's still 30 high pen bullets to get a few stacks of mid ammo

[west juniper]

I guess sure

[sonic wigeon]

#screenshots message

I used some ssa ap to hunt down the goons when they pissed me off

so yeah

thats low rn

[west juniper]

not much ammo there

[sonic wigeon]

I did say I only had 2k of each tho I did forget about ssa ap waste

[gusty whale]

Like I value 30 762x54r BT bullets more than a couple stacks of m62 and some mid 556 ammo

[west juniper]

I see

[sonic wigeon]

I think I have some unopened boxes

nope nvm

thats all my 556 high pen

I think

yeah I do

I have ammo in magazines for my terminal run

[west juniper]

I suggest 995 for terminal

[sonic wigeon]

i dont remember if its m995 or the ssa ap in there

[west juniper]

ssa ap does not one shot

[sonic wigeon]

ic

ok

I bring

2 guns

the RPK and the m4

rpk to like mow down alot of the scavs and some of the BD then transition to M4 mid way while getting ammo from the BD

[gusty whale]

Tbf I found m61 the best for terminal by far, way more consistent

[sonic wigeon]

I lost

like

300 ish

[gusty whale]

How?

[sonic wigeon]

m61 on my failed terminal run

birdeye sniped me out of nowhere

he hit Head, Ears

[gusty whale]

Ah you mean going to terminal, gotcha, ye that sucks

[torpid bluff]

Your inv resets tho

[sonic wigeon]

I had no way to even react because it was the first shot he did

[west juniper]

FINALLY got all 15 kills and forgot the blue folders. guess i'll extract by nades

[sonic wigeon]

no BEFORE

that

[torpid bluff]

Oof

[sonic wigeon]

I don't even know

how he saw me

because I was moving in cover

next thing I know my pmc just screams

[torpid bluff]

Left pinky stuck out

[gusty whale]

^

[sonic wigeon]

because in shoreline theres like trenches

[torpid bluff]

And he triangulated your head

[gusty whale]

Goons can see a single hair on your head from 300m away

[sonic wigeon]

even outside them I stay behind cover

[west juniper]

or not even see you and spam that rock for half an hour

[sonic wigeon]

he was even

using the SAKO i think

cause it was the 338

ammo

[gusty whale]

Haha do find it funny when bosses, especially kaban, do this

[torpid bluff]

ooooop

I knew goons were at customs when someone tries to wallbang me through houses

[wanton lake]

anyone gotten the insurance back on factory? havent gotten mine besides 1 kit 🙁

[west juniper]

I think i did ? not sure

[wanton lake]

got 1 kit from the 1st of march back and thats the last one i got back

[torpid bluff]

Yes

[thorn roost]

my buddy died 2 days ago and got his back after i dropped his stuff

[midnight wasp]

ik todays the 5th. idk when the events officially end. is it still active for now?

[thorn roost]

man i hope they extend it

[loud raptor]

Extend it in the icebreaker

[gusty whale]

Sadly looking at the photos think icebreaker is still a while away

[loud raptor]

sadness

[gusty whale]

To be clear not saying they look bad, they look great, just clearly more map work to be done

[livid oxide]

I hope it's not a transit from shoreline but prolly will be

[magic yacht]

Im guessing its a potential Transit from Lighthouse, which is one of the reasons they added the spawns north of WTP

[gusty whale]

It'll almost 100% be transit

[livid oxide]

they changed it cause the spawns on that map are awful

the map is just awful

[magic yacht]

Tbh those spawns north of WTP dont make it better, esp if you are BEAR or have a BEAR in your squad lol

walk 5m and then get your thorax ripped apart by walley sitting on his NSV

[faint sparrow]

any idea why pmcs dont come to fort? doing capturing outposts rn for teh sp6

[elfin edge]

I thought the event was supposed to be over now?

[faint sparrow]

they made it longer

[elfin edge]

how much longer? i looked at the event channel and didnt see anything about it i swore they posted it there when it started

i kinda like this event fr

[faint sparrow]

5 may 4 pm i cant remember the timezone

also i swear you could craft sp6, what happened?

[livid oxide]

now you can only get it for doing capturing outposts

or ref

[faint sparrow]

sometimes pmcs spawn with it, but i cant do capturing outposts cuz pmcs dont come to fort

[livid oxide]

i get it through pmcs and ref

loose spawns not that bad as well

[stone goblet]

event should be over in 7 minutes

[livid oxide]

as val mod 4 is so nice. probably my fave gun now.

[dense sentinel]

Wish they would extend it some more ive been having a blast loading up on ammo

[livid oxide]

did they drop m61 or m993?

[dense sentinel]

I got a very healthy amount of m61,m62,m80 and an alright amount of m993 for the 7.62x51 caliber. For 556 I got a fuckload of 855a1 and a6, for 545 plenty of BP while burning through my bt stockpile to replace it with. And for 5.7 I filled up heavy on it and now have 4900 rounds of ss190 since I had about 2500 to start with.

Oh and a shit load of 7.62x39 BP ammo

[steep kettle]

Is the event over? Will the game require a technical update first?

[rancid tundra]

Yes

It's all over

[steep kettle]

Finally

[rancid tundra]

Now drop Icebreaker update and tarkovtv immediately

[willow tinsel]

Yes

[rancid tundra]

It's been 1 minute after ref's event

[willow tinsel]

Precious time

[dense sentinel]

Yea once I get home from work ill work on getting the key to open that labrys door and give it a run through to start that campaign chapter

[rancid tundra]

??circle

[quasi apex]

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

[livid oxide]

i just finished the last quest needed in labrys. never going back

[rancid tundra]

Did you find that 5 documents?

How long it takes?

[livid oxide]

it took me about 10-15 raids for those 5

then the next day i got a daily from peacekeeper for one smh

[rancid tundra]

Only 10-15? Lucky bastard

Good for you

[livid oxide]

then after that i did the lightkeeper labrys quest and sold the sicc case for 5M roubles

[steep kettle]

Any advice for getting PMC kills in the Factory Office Section? Can I bait them somehow?

[willow tinsel]

by determination, will and resets

and camping

[storm atlas]

Does anybody know, how to get the access to the lightkeeper?

[willow tinsel]

get network provider through questing or through main chapter

[storm atlas]

Which quests need to do exactly? Sorry for my eng. Not mu native language

[steep kettle]

You mean they eventually spawn new ones that walk over to the office section?

[willow tinsel]

they path there sometimes

RNG

[steep kettle]

Thanks - I wonder if AK50 would be effective against Tagilla...

[willow tinsel]

https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Network_Provider_-_Part_1#Requirements

[earnest trench]

Honestly, I feel like it's just spawn dependent. If you spawn inside the office they will almost never go there, but if you spawn somewhere else and go to the office usually the PMCs are there or on their way. That quest was pain for me too lmao, took me way too many raids

Plus you can bait them if they're near the office and you shoot at them even once. Both scavs and PMCs usually start chasing you after taking damage

[storm atlas]

Tnx mate

[steep kettle]

Wish me luck, need 4 more kills

[earnest trench]

Good luck bro 🫡

[timid tendon]

Rush office
Clear it top to bottom
Extract and go again

Save your sanity and don't camp. Kills per hour are higher just spamming it in 3 mins rather than afking for 20

[bronze olive]

Where to check codes

[bronze olive]

2 shots him with m21

I tried...

[hearty vapor]

i just want to escape 😭

[steep kettle]

Thanks for all the suggestions
and @bronze olive I will give it a try in just a few seconds..

It seems M33 has higher pen though?

[bronze olive]

O didnt had m33

How much pen it has

And damage too
