Future quest possibilities.

[young frost]

that shit got old in like skyrim 4

[carmine lantern]

would be cool if a quest gave you a key for opening that stuff

[young frost]

or just replace em with normal safes

[autumn topaz]

it's annoying I could see someone trying to picklock a safe and getting shot at

[lilac shadow]

lockpicking was SUPPOSED to be a skil, but that may have gotten canned

[carmine lantern]

tbh there should be lockpicking but just a 'lockpick' item that you use every time you open it

something like that

[autumn topaz]

damn fruit for thought for me

[autumn topaz]

like a 1 time use that'd be pretty good

[trail sail]

A lockpick would be really expensive no? if it can open every door that is

[young frost]

pls no i already carry around so much shit

[lilac shadow]

yeah they really had a lot planned for this game that never made it in.

[carmine lantern]

would prob just be for specific doors

[autumn topaz]

or you could put a lockpick into a keyfob (realistic appliance)

[carmine lantern]

they did also show off being able to shoot physical locks a while ago lol

which is apparently still coming soon

[young frost]

which makes way more sense

[lilac shadow]

yeah. The simpler ones, youre not going to lockpick andything in labs

[autumn topaz]

or the factory door on 3rd floor you always have to breach you could lockpick it instead so you don't make so much noise (pvp mainly)

[trail sail]

Bring a sledgehammer and you can bust open doors.

[carmine lantern]

and icebreaker is going to have physical codes

[autumn topaz]

now this is cooking

[carmine lantern]

so they're at least still expanding on it, so maybe someday those safes will be openable

[autumn topaz]

you guys still get the audio death bug occasionally?

[carmine lantern]

where the scavs start to turn into electronic music? yea

[autumn topaz]

yea it scares me but then it goes away

[carmine lantern]

or it feels like your gpu is getting fried in real time

yea, at least a few times a raid I get that

makes it impossible for me to concentrate

[autumn topaz]

is the task "the guide" harder on pve? I don't know I know its 1 life all maps 5 kills or something along the lines of that

[carmine lantern]

I would say 99% of tasks are easier on pve

for the guide its just survive and extract from almost every map

you just need I think 200 xp so thats like 1/5th of a pmc kill or a few scavs+body checks

[trail sail]

Shit like Escort is a breeze on pve

On Pvp its like hell

[lilac shadow]

some tasks on pve have to be cheesed because the ai refuses to go to X place

[young frost]

no its easy u just survive. as long as u dont get grenaded off spawn or something rly stupid u can just take the scenic route

[lilac shadow]

and then parmesean shows up and whacks you on the last map you needed

[young frost]

dude hes not real

[lilac shadow]

yeah because he lives in my raids 24/7

[autumn topaz]

I remember when I used to get spawnkilled on shoreline from birdeye ah those were the times

[carmine lantern]

those times are still now

[sonic wigeon]

Escort is the 5 pmc kills in all maps in one life
Guide is surviving all maps in one life.

I forgot to remove ping but yeah

[distant obsidian]

Guide is much easier on PvE

Same with escort

[sonic wigeon]

My only problem with guide was my ass doing dumbass shit and dying

it wasn't hard when I actually aimed to finish it

[daring swift]

is icebreaker out tomorrow?

[carmine lantern]

check back tomorrow

[distant obsidian]

surely tomorrow

[halcyon depot]

this is probs s silly question but rashala and his boys are actively engaging glukhar and his men right

like they fight each other currently on customs

[carmine lantern]

they do, yes

[halcyon depot]

ok thanks

[peak coral]

icebreaker today surely 🙏

[weary ice]

they already added it??

[trim stump]

i need this event off customs now

i need 4 more pmc kills for escort

and i still need my 5 pmc kills at dorms

[jovial cobalt]

icebreaker has already been in the ets server wdym

[weary ice]

ice breaker is in main game? what are you guys doing

[jovial cobalt]

im in icebreaker rn

just looted the boss

[carmine lantern]

he drops 1 tarcoin

[fervent peak]

HE DROPS NOTHING, YOU LOSE, GOOD DAY TO YOU, SIR!

sees boss body evaporate

[lilac shadow]

Ends in 2 hours

[trim stump]

im going to bed. hopefully its good in the morning

[cosmic patrol]

sweaty balls.

[jovial cobalt]

where

[cosmic patrol]

everywhere

[carmine lantern]

[jovial cobalt]

[floral lynx]

does gluhar spawn at reserve at all with the curent event or nah

[carmine lantern]

all signs point to no

[odd gale]

Woah nice role color

[jovial cobalt]

ourple

[carmine lantern]

im cool now

[midnight wasp]

my homie's having a little trouble finding rec-batteries. anywhere y'all found them that stuck out?

[jovial cobalt]

filing cabinets is my first thought

it's an electronic item spawn so you could find them at tech stores in interchange too

[young frost]

yea just endless filing cabinets

[lilac shadow]

Labs in yellow, but you know, labs

[lilac shadow]

Hes on customs vacation for another 1.25 hours

[young frost]

lighthouse seems like the best vacation spot

or it would be if they took the dead guy out of the hot tub

there should be a goon ending where instead of escaping it just cuts to postwar n u just party with the goons

[jovial cobalt]

i hope they add more endings

[lilac shadow]

You know i really thought you were going a different direction with the wording there

[young frost]

o_0

[lilac shadow]

A specific bear or USEC ending could be cool.

[jovial cobalt]

man i wish there were more bear vs usec features in the game

add the real pmc karma into one of the pvp seasons that if you kill your own faction it fucks you up

[lilac shadow]

I think its a bit weird that bear never got its own map ala USEC on lighthouse

[jovial cobalt]

it's kinda terminal in a sense

[young frost]

usec ending seems so shitty. best case u get to manage a dairy queen worst case u get charged w war crimes

[jovial cobalt]

cause RUAF supposedly helps bear players more in terminal but i have no idea how

[lilac shadow]

Bears wouldnt be that much better tbh

[young frost]

idk i think theyd get a better deal

[halcyon depot]

if i ever escape im siding with TG as my usec

[lilac shadow]

Considering who they are, or were, IRL, theyed just get shipped off to the next hot zone if they were lucky

[halcyon depot]

gotta complete the usec mission

[halcyon depot]

bruh if i was usec after doing all that i would be expecting a position in black division

[lilac shadow]

Bears, not USEC

[halcyon depot]

oh ok

well still

[young frost]

tbh i picked bear cus i didnt wanna be a foreigner

[halcyon depot]

gotta protect those corpo interests

[young frost]

like if im gonna be in tarkov i wanna be fully russian

[halcyon depot]

ive never gone with bear before

but for the seasonal character i will be

[halcyon depot]

yeh somehow being usec seems to be hazardous

in a foreign land

[young frost]

indeed

[pulsar patio]

Is a patch incoming?

[young frost]

yes

[vapid cape]

Alright where are the WZ wallets at, it's the only thing I need for Kappa

[lilac shadow]

Marked rooms, on scavs rarely

[vapid cape]

Went dorms 314 like 5x last night and nothing

Going Factory on Streets now wish me luck

[lilac shadow]

good luck, just got done with the kappa grind myself. Spent days looking for that beanie

[vapid cape]

Which beanie?

[pulsar patio]

cotton

[lilac shadow]

yeah kotton

[vapid cape]

Oh that LOL

[odd gale]

Reshala can have one

[vapid cape]

I spent ages looking fo nutsack and got 4 in a row

[lilac shadow]

Have to rely on scav RNG for it to show up

[vapid cape]

Searched him twice and found Glukhar 3 times in dorms, neither had it

[odd gale]

Rip

[vapid cape]

It's weird finding Gluey in Dorms

I bet him and Reshala are making up

[trail sail]

Reshalla can only spawn big red and stronghold rn

Glukhar new gas and dorms

[rancid tundra]

Event is gone innit?

[lilac shadow]

less than an hour left in it

[vapid cape]

Yeah I saw Gluey at Gas, killed all his mates, got to him and he just 1 tapped me

[rancid tundra]

Ah holy crap

[vapid cape]

Gluey is a little bitch atm though, either OP or weak as shit

[lilac shadow]

Gluey just tanked a bunch of m80 and one tapped me so yeah

he is

All bosses kind of suffer from that either elite af or moron syndrome

[rancid tundra]

My ulach tanked his insta headshot PS-12

??event

[quasi apex]

Reshala and Glukhar are having a turf war on Customs. 100% spawn rate for Reshala and Glukhar, and AI scavs are replaced with guards.

[vapid cape]

Gluey in dorms just stood looked at the wall, sig FMJ to the head and he walked off, then I thought he was going to kill me but I rushed the room and sprayed and he went down faster than a Thai hooker

[lilac shadow]

I miss the reserve all scav bosses event. That was was just stupid fun

[vapid cape]

I still say all bosses on Factory

Even Zry

Anyway no WZ at marked factory fucking Nikita

Wth pmcs stood outside the room and scared the crap out of me

[jovial cobalt]

all bosses in labyrinth

[vapid cape]

Do I want to go Labrys that is the question

[rancid tundra]

Nope

[jovial cobalt]

eventually

[lilac shadow]

Its fun a few times. Its usefull to get that one poison quest done thats a bitch

and the storyline

[vapid cape]

I done all of Labrys and vowed never to return

[lilac shadow]

same

[rancid tundra]

3:12 AM EST event must have ended 3:00 AM EST isn't it?

[vapid cape]

After the game bugged out everytime I did steps in the quest and Nikita wouldn't fix it

[carmine lantern]

labrys is great

I just dont care for the walk

plus the knossos key is lame

[rancid tundra]

Icebreaker is better

[lilac shadow]

Labrys is an amazing addition, but the slog of getting to it sucks

[carmine lantern]

scavs always steal that shit

[vapid cape]

Labrys is good if you like being molested

[carmine lantern]

just bring the ak 308

[quick walrus]

chat, terminal tip and trick, do not hide behind a military truck's engine block, black div will just shoot though it

learned from experience

[rancid tundra]

After reshala and gluck beef nikita said it's going to be large event on shoreline and then the Assbreaker

[trail sail]

They see your feet from the bottom of cars and trucks

[quick walrus]

as if they can punch though the entire engine block tho

[jovial cobalt]

were you fighting the BD that spawn at the explosives breach gate?

[vapid cape]

I don't know how true it is but the new boss on Icebreaker is meant to be like a jugg, wearing T6 helm and T6 body armour and basically Kollonty in full armour

[quick walrus]

yeah, i got bad RNG for the repair kit

[vapid cape]

And CQC means no Rocket Launcher

[quick walrus]

tried to skip fighting them and then they just shot me though an engine block lmao

[jovial cobalt]

i always go to the right into the fenced area and fight them from behind the wooden crates

[rancid tundra]

And still stupid ass AI boss

[carmine lantern]

that sounds not true at all lol

[quick walrus]

i typically try to but i was trying to be lazy

[jovial cobalt]

since i did the same i would go down the road and hide behind the tigr or whatever, and i would get fucked

[carmine lantern]

considering the boss is the dude w the jacket on

[rancid tundra]

Not even 5% of sain intellect

[quick walrus]

also why did my surv use 5 uses over 1 blacked limb continuously

is this a current issue?

it didnt even fix

[rancid tundra]

Annoying bug

Repeating animation

[quick walrus]

how did terminal get worse since the last time i attempted 2 months ago

[candid quiver]

Who decided that?

[quick walrus]

also did they up scav spawns

[vapid cape]

It doesn't I just heard rumours but tbh Killa and Tagilla wear high level stuff, and they can be taken down, so I wouldn't be surprised

[trail sail]

Usually it's double surgery bug I've only heard of it doing it multiple times now

[quick walrus]

i have it on recording

[vapid cape]

Fire a rocket launcher in a tight space with a wall 3ft behind you and it acts like it's 2 inches behind you and folds you like a deck chair

[quick walrus]

lmao

[candid quiver]

Fire it in a hallway then

[quick walrus]

i went from 8 to 3

[trail sail]

I really hope they will keep their promise to keep Icebreaker as a permanent map even after the event ends

[vapid cape]

I fired in the hallway on Factory and still got folded like a deck chair

[candid quiver]

But ive managed to tank big pipes grenades to the face before so itll prolly be fine

[jovial cobalt]

ofc they will

[glossy hound]

why does the rogue mounted GL reach pride rock now lmfao

[jovial cobalt]

im pretty sure they have spent way too many resources on icebreaker to drop it after the event

[carmine lantern]

no reason why they wouldnt keep it, tbh

[candid quiver]

And even if just use like a rpd to fold the boss

[jovial cobalt]

i think they were originally going to remove labyrinth after the event until they realized it was really cool

not sure tho

[lilac shadow]

yeah it was meant to be a halloween only thing

They added it full time after people loved it

[carmine lantern]

and im sure labrys was like 10% of the cost of icebreaker

[lilac shadow]

Im just happy theyre adding meaningfull stuff

[candid quiver]

Still no m249

[carmine lantern]

minimi someday

[candid quiver]

Soontm

[carmine lantern]

I want the g11 and honey badger..

[candid quiver]

Or atleast more parts for the pkm

[trail sail]

If they add m249 we need 200 round box magazines

[jovial cobalt]

pkm suppressor soon ish

[candid quiver]

Tho balancing a 556 lmg will be hard

[carmine lantern]

balance?

[candid quiver]

Cuz i think the 249 has a similar firerate to the m4

[trail sail]

Whats the rpm of m249

[jovial cobalt]

67

[candid quiver]

G11 such a troll ngl, just another gun thatll never see usage like the aa12

[lilac shadow]

775

[vapid cape]

I love the AA12

Said no one ever

[candid quiver]

Ong

[jovial cobalt]

its pretty cool but like

[candid quiver]

Its just not good

[jovial cobalt]

naaaaahhh ill use a saiga 12 fa

[trail sail]

Saiga too good

[carmine lantern]

I mean, I love the aa 12 sound tbh

its just awkward with the ergo

[jovial cobalt]

something that would help is if it had more mods

[candid quiver]

Yeah

[carmine lantern]

I loved the g11 in black ops 1

[jovial cobalt]

famas soon too

[carmine lantern]

yea famas will be sick

[lilac shadow]

soon tm

[jovial cobalt]

lol

[candid quiver]

I also like the m60 sound and look but then you use it and it feels clunky af, the sight is in your face and it takes up a 3rd of your screen

Famas idk

[jovial cobalt]

im still waiting for the ak handguard customization that they teased like 13 months ago

please we need more aks

[candid quiver]

I hope they add parts for it and not just the base gun

[candid quiver]

You mean like seperate upper and lower handguards

[lilac shadow]

the m60 is funny because its a literally why bother gun now

[jovial cobalt]

exactly ye

[trail sail]

Need a ppsh modernization

[candid quiver]

I want wood furniture for the fn fal

[jovial cobalt]

kedr modification kit

[candid quiver]

Truly criminal we still dont have that

A 10mm mp5

More 45 guns

[vapid cape]

The only gun in the game that matters

Is the Toz

When it's used by a scav on you

When you use it it fires in a figure 8 motion and flys off the map, when a scav uses it, instant head eyes

They should do a toz event, all bosses have a toz and you have to use a toz and take them all out in a row, swwitching to another weapon instant kills you.

Shit where is Nikita

[candid quiver]

Why do they add a g11 but not a XM8 truly a crime

Cuz in theory the xm8 has alot of different parts that were like conceptualized before the gun was shelfed

So there is potential to have a new unique gun that can have more than just a sight attached to it

Also a .45 glock when

[last condor]

Hi i have a question for PVE but how would do u get PMC's in Dorms (customs)?

[carmine lantern]

thats probably why they didnt add the xm8

[lilac shadow]

Because we REALLY need more niche calibers

[lilac shadow]

Its just luck of the draw. Wait for the event to end. PMCS usually will migrate or spawn on the first floor of 3 story dorms

[last condor]

how long does the event last?

[carmine lantern]

most of it is just rng, there will be at least 1 group that moves in dorms but if they spawn far they try to path over to new gas and then to dorms, but can get bogged down by scavs/reshala

[trail sail]

like 30 minutes

[lilac shadow]

Ends in about 30 minutes i believe

[carmine lantern]

the event should be over now

its 3:30 am est

since thats my time zone

[last condor]

oh thank god

[trail sail]

next event predictions?

[last condor]

shoreline

[lilac shadow]

I just got done customs and it was all guards still

so you may want to wait

[carmine lantern]

yea its probably delayed

its still red skull for me

until that skull goes away, expect the event to still be on

[last condor]

i'll probably play tmr then

preciate it yall

[lilac shadow]

no problem, glad to help

[vapid cape]

Well I think Glukhar just got pwned in 2 storey LOL

[carmine lantern]

btc in res unit hits different

[crystal umbra]

Dang didnt have time to see the event.

Were the guards and bosses hostile to each other btw?

[carmine lantern]

yes

[crystal umbra]

Since I heard it was Reshala vs Glukhar and their guards?

[lilac shadow]

man when res unit first dropped in the zombie mode that whole area was LOADED. It made black room worthless

[crystal umbra]

So just nonstop aimbot wars, damn

[trail sail]

Yup just stims after stims

[lilac shadow]

Yeah. All scavs were guards

[echo hamlet]

has the customs event ended yet?

[lilac shadow]

should end in about 20 mintues

[trail sail]

at :00 next hour

[lilac shadow]

Or until the BSG intern turns it off

[trail sail]

Yep

[vapid cape]

Okay dorms marked room just has a fucking poster tube and no WZ

This is gettinf ridiculous

[lilac shadow]

Reserve may be your best bet if you have the keys

[vapid cape]

I don't but I could get

Which room?

[lilac shadow]

Ive found them in RB-BK and RB-VO

[vapid cape]

That the train station and first floor ones

[carmine lantern]

its either scavs or marked rooms

reserve is prob the best simply because theres 3 marked rooms in total each raid to check

streets has 2 rooms

but its all rng

[lilac shadow]

RB-VO is near the train station yeah, RB-BK is barracks basement. Not the bunker one

[rancid tundra]

The in-game event in #EscapefromTarkov is extended until May 16, 4:00 PM BST / 11:00 AM EST.

[lilac shadow]

Kek

[vapid cape]

Is there an achievbmenet for this event ?

[jovial cobalt]

noh

[lilac shadow]

No. No quests either

[vapid cape]

Sucks

I'm a score hoe

[lilac shadow]

Its just a guard grinder

[rancid tundra]

Neither?

[lilac shadow]

No achievements or quests

[meager coyote]

Where does gluestick spawn on customs again? I remember dorms and idk if there were others

[lilac shadow]

New gas

[meager coyote]

Swag

[vapid cape]

Lol heading to RUAF and a guard hiding behind the wall, only noticed because his flashlight, popped him and he had a pfilter

Thanks bro 😄

[timid moat]

found a dorms marked room key off a pmc on ground zero just now

[hollow canyon]

why when im solo i cant run in bsg server ?!!!

[timid moat]

you should be able to

what map

[hollow canyon]

didnt work

i try 2 woods run and he let me do local

[jovial cobalt]

woods is bsg server only

but the box to change it is bugged

[weary ice]

it is?

[hollow canyon]

lol

this game

[jovial cobalt]

go woods click to change to local click streets thats forced bsg server then click back to woods

it will be set back to bsg server

ive gotten local woods before too somehow one time so i think its possible

[plush panther]

holy shit I just got a weekly to extract from GZ 10 times with a reward being 4 ophtalmoscopes and 3 bloody rusted keys

[weary ice]

holy

[jovial cobalt]

wttff

[weary ice]

i get an unknown key 03 from my weekly

3 alyonks bars

[plush panther]

look

#screenshots message

[rancid tundra]

2 etg holy

[weary ice]

p22

[plush panther]

yeah that's a massive pull of a weekly

and I just need to walk through GZ 10 times

cakewalk

[carmine lantern]

terragroup security armory key only being 140k is such a fucking steal

[weary ice]

its ass

but the poster spawn is alright

[jovial cobalt]

rellinou army

[carmine lantern]

sorry, I bought them all, its up to 700k now

that key is top tier for ammo spawns

[weary ice]

its alright

but its dark side 😬

[carmine lantern]

they're all mine now

I got 15 of them

[rancid tundra]

Event is gone

[weary ice]

your ass is not gonna use uh

i cant do math

15x40=600

thanks autocorrect

[carmine lantern]

probably wont most of them but ill have em

[weary ice]

600 uses

[rancid tundra]

1+1=11

[carmine lantern]

:]

67 uses

[weary ice]

:3

im such a good little femboy

me rellinou

[carmine lantern]

[plush panther]

is it? that was short

[trail sail]

Can't be too long, it's probably hell for new players in Customs

[vapid cape]

New players need the torture that the rest of us suffer

[jovial cobalt]

clipping that out of context

[weary ice]

fuck

[carmine lantern]

is there a context

[opal ruin]

runningcustoms just for xp is something else

[weary ice]

uhm yes

[pseudo kayak]

woods goons r so chud!

I now see why ppl say no woods gooning

[carmine lantern]

now you can go back to customs at least

[fluid halo]

yeah they spawn right next to you or rush over the entire map to get your ass

[weary ice]

they said this?

[fluid halo]

well event is over.. back to lamegame.exe

[weary ice]

me when im not allowed to goon on all maps

😹

[carmine lantern]

[gusty whale]

Guy in pvp chat atm complaining they're actually doing events because they're too small

[fluid halo]

nah duration was oke.. couple of days is long enough.

[carmine lantern]

im fine with these, especially once they come out with that whole 'every weekend gets an event' bit

[jovial cobalt]

real

[fluid halo]

its just that the game feels so Empty and dead when the event is over

[glossy hound]

oh hey i can hunt cultists again

[midnight wasp]

Sick, now I can work on Evil Watchmen. I am glad the event concluded and they didn’t extend it like every other friggin event lmao

[gusty whale]

I agree, he's complaining that they're doing simple weekly events, instead of having events with questlines and new content every week

[glossy hound]

im looking forward to that, will really spice things up

[frail jolt]

Hi everyone, is there any tip to complete the great heights part 3? I have been stuck on this quest for 2 days. My opponents most of the time are god-tier aim

[trail sail]

What do you struggle the most on Arena pvp? try to improve on those aspects

[frail jolt]

I find that I usually lose the direct confrontation, guess my reaction time is not even average

[trail sail]

Play more passively, hold weird/uncommon angles

On checkpoint, enemies will come to you eventually

[frail jolt]

Which game mode is the most ideal for this quest? I have been blasting on checkpoint

[trail sail]

Yeah checkpoint for sure

[trail sail]

Also, for this, armor up, Enforcer, go with an rpd or something

[frail jolt]

Thank you so much

[trail sail]

And uhh, push together with teammates

Once you get more comfortable with pvp fights try to push more aggressively

[frail jolt]

Time to lock in

[west mist]

Huh

I'm actually pretty sad the events done

Was getting a good load o t6 poly plates

And altyns

And 2x rys so far

[frail jolt]

I'm the opposite thought, just started playing and there are 2 quests on Custom, I keep getting clapped by Reshala and Glu

[west mist]

While that is true, I'm still sad personally XD

And to be fair

[frail jolt]

This event gave me PTSD lmao

[west mist]

You too could have gotten much good loot from it

Like, the guards were regularly dropping zhuk emr

Which have a pog t6 polymer plate in em

And also altyn's and rys-T's

[carmine lantern]

feels so good to leave streets w over half an inventory of ammo goodies

[opal ruin]

how long till customs back to normal?

[carmine lantern]

now

[opal ruin]

was on it still same

not back to normal

[gusty whale]

Yup, I'd understand the complaining more if the event went on for 2 weeks, but it only lasted a few days, plenty of other maps to run in the mean time if you don't want to fight guards

[jovial cobalt]

whats the good ammo spots on streets

[opal ruin]

no for me its an xp farm, 20-40k xp per run i cant say no

[opal ruin]

4 in total

[gusty whale]

Ye most people are finished or almost finished with story now, about time for some events

[hybrid copper]

never play eft only watched vids is it worth getting into?

[opal ruin]

the container in kabans car dealer shop, concordia secruity, mvd and terra group armory

[carmine lantern]

northwest area is the terragroup armory security key, east area is the mvd key, southwest area is the cargo container mesh key and concordia security office key, plus kaban/kollanty and his guards normally have okay/v good ammo, especially kaban

[opal ruin]

gun nut yes, realism also yes, if not pvp go pve

[gusty whale]

It's very fun, but I'd recommend pve to start if you don't have a lot (10ks hrs+) of fps experience

[jovial cobalt]

bet bet

[carmine lantern]

kaban gave me 300 rounds of ps ammo which is 84 dmg 45 pen

[hybrid copper]

ive got 2k hours of rust, and def aroumd 10k hours of fps games

[gusty whale]

Ah the days when kaban gave BS, good times

[carmine lantern]

then I got 2 120 rounders of bs, some 7n40, etc

[magic yacht]

What exactly does Perceptions Elite skill do?
I didnt even notice it getting maxed

[hybrid copper]

but none of my friends play it, is it a good solo game?

[opal ruin]

can still give thamt BUT rearly

[jovial cobalt]

i think its more fun with friends but i've always played the game solo and still enjoy it

[gusty whale]

Ye but 1 in 1000 runs is basically never xD

[opal ruin]

do you have a LOT of time: pvp and if you have work and not so much time go pve

[gusty whale]

Larger detection radius for the little dot

[carmine lantern]

99.99% useless, it basically makes a white dot when you're near loot

aka almost right on top of it

[trail sail]

You know the new quest item indicator they should have that for perception elite too

[carmine lantern]

theres extremely rare times where you can miss something clipping into the ground but thats it

[hybrid copper]

ive got a set schedule for work that i play around

[opal ruin]

like a bit coin in belugas vip room?

[trail sail]

Sofa bitcoin

[opal ruin]

dont play pvp then it will break your kneecaps faster then you think

[hybrid copper]

i understand the concept of what you mean but like why not play pvp?

[jovial cobalt]

its just a steep learning curve

[carmine lantern]

I mean sure, you can play it, we arent going to stop you

but theres 0 handholding in the game and you will be up against mostly people who have several thousands of hours into the game, at this point in its life cycle

[opal ruin]

was gonna say its your money and time not mine

[plush panther]

no mmr means you'll be running into people with 25k hours in the game who haven't left their basement since the alpha and you will get nothing done

[hybrid copper]

for getting a better grasp of the game, begin with pve?

[jovial cobalt]

aye

[stone harbor]

I understand the incentive of PvP but I dont wanna die by a rat or a hill sniper boi outta no where

[carmine lantern]

now pve does cost extra cash so you can always do things like scav on pvp to at least try and get a sense of the maps

[opal ruin]

its just better to start relaxed instead of having schizoprenic attacks all day arround from pvp

[hybrid copper]

sounds about the same w rust

[carmine lantern]

but knowing the maps is a lot of work

[stone harbor]

I have 30 mils, which isnt a lot, but it is a nice sum of money for me, if I play PvP, I might have to wipe my account a lot

[carmine lantern]

and thats just the start of it

[hybrid copper]

valid

[opal ruin]

i mean i started before there was even talk about pve and the wave of cheaters in pvp where you could only win if you strangely enough wiggle your body from time to time.
pve you dont need to worry about some CHAD jumping arround the corner one tapping you to the head

since pve is out i sunk more then 6k hourse in it since beta,
i joke with my friends that tarkov is tetris with a bonus of FPS extra

[carmine lantern]

I did not realize that lexos car dealership 1 use key was 573k to therapist, wild

[opal ruin]

even with work it was relaxed to just hop on and not worry about being shot over half the map with a pixel peek

[jovial cobalt]

tarkov pve singleplayer makes me slightly feel like im playing fallout or like s.t.a.l.k.e.r or something, good rpg fps game

[hybrid copper]

witch is valid i got a buddy at work that plays the pve mode and i just didnt know if you could play with your buddys on pve

[opal ruin]

you can with up to 5 guys till they change it to 4

[trail sail]

I quit pvp because of cheaters like 4 years ago, got back to Tarkov in 2024 right around mortar event and decided to try pve, it's a blast now.

[jovial cobalt]

ive been playing a bit of pvp recently again and the two zones just feel like a different gameplay experience

im always wary in pvp and actually try to play tactically vs in pve i just walk while looking at my second monitor

[harsh tusk]

Is there a way to see how many times you have used each car extract? Trying to figure out which ones will be worth doing for fence rep. But I can't remember which ones I've used the most

[hybrid copper]

do i just get the standard edition? or witch one?

[opal ruin]

pvp you need to even be wary of your shadow
pve hey over there is someone

[trail sail]

Lmfao yeah I sometimes have a streamer on my second monitor while I walk to extract

[opal ruin]

get standard with pve extension

[jovial cobalt]

standard edition doesn't come with pve on its own so standard + pve probably

you can always upgrade to highert editions later if you want them

[carmine lantern]

just note before committing that pve is its own purchase, as an expansion, so you have to pay extra for pve

[plush panther]

I have standard and PvE, I don't really see a reason to get any of the more expensive editions if you'll be just playing pve

[trail sail]

Get it on Steam. You can refund on Steam if you don't like the game.

[jovial cobalt]

i get why people say pve is boring but theres still a lot of content in the game that doesn't require the pvp and is still fun

[hybrid copper]

well eventually i wanna give pvp a try when i got a lil more hours

[stone harbor]

yeah, like getting chased by Cultist or rushed by Goons, yeah gotta love those instant blood rush to the brain moments XD

[jovial cobalt]

it's not always intense like if you're just shooting random scavs, but there can still be moments of intensity like that yus

[opal ruin]

best bang for buck should be the prepare for escape. there was once the edge of darkness edition that everyone is missing, myself included, now the highest money edition is mark of unheard with 200$ but you get a bunch of good stuff in it

[stone harbor]

and if someone say "yeah, those moments, you gonna have a field day with PvP", yeah no thanks, I'm too old and got enough of those human vs human stuff.

[opal ruin]

with the workd dramas everyday.... yeah not for me pls

[stone harbor]

talking abt Goons, just got hunted by them 2 hrs ago in Lighthouse, where is the guy looking for them a lot recently?

[jovial cobalt]

where's the gooner

[stone harbor]

and I see you are level 3 PvP huh

[jovial cobalt]

im kinda on a meme name rn but i did prestige 1 on pvp

[stone harbor]

I gooned for 55 years already, a gooner for life

[jovial cobalt]

im a bit bored of grinding roubles in pve so i might mess around and try to get prestige 2 in pvp for now

[opal ruin]

so goons should be on customs from a post 22 min ago and on lighthouse for pvp

from a post 11min ago

[carmine lantern]

rurubles

[stone harbor]

wait, that avatar, are you boshetumay?

[jovial cobalt]

no im rellinou

[jovial cobalt]

jk yes

[stone harbor]

yeah that "near the metro" can never be that Ravioli guy

[jovial cobalt]

[stone harbor]

yeah I just suddenly remembered a joke we made a long time ago "Dont let me Wingardium Leviosa you up hard"

[hybrid copper]

made the purchase my ppl

[plush panther]

hell yeah

[hybrid copper]

10 mins for the download to finish'

[plush panther]

if you need some help getting into the game, I'm free rn to go into some raids

[hybrid copper]

appreciate it bro, never played before so excited to see what its bout

[opal ruin]

same goes for me, but i am mostly a body guard XD

[jovial cobalt]

idk if i have any good tips without being overwhelming except for maybe like

aim for the head lol

[hybrid copper]

hahahah i appreciate it man

[hybrid copper]

i think thats a pretty good tip tbh

[jovial cobalt]

it all depends ofc because the armor and ammo system can be a bit complex

[hybrid copper]

i heard my buddy say try to shoot for the neck

[jovial cobalt]

someone has a big ass high armor class helmet maybe its not the best idea to aim for his head with a shitty pistol, etc

[jovial cobalt]

yeah true, the throat is a weak spot because it can only be covered by level 3 max soft armor

[hybrid copper]

fire

ik theres ALOT to this gaem

[jovial cobalt]

ive put another 1500 hours into pve since it came out lol

[hybrid copper]

map knowledge, gunsmithing, armor, ammo, bosses, etc

[opal ruin]

naw i mean it that i am a bodyguard, i try to get you out alive. no pun intended.
there is, i think uk streamer, new to tarkov and i run with him from time to time.
i am not the best with teaching because i am a hands on guy like, show me how to do it i try it afterwards

[glossy bloom]

ammo may decide the victor, but the victor may not be decided by ammo; you can rule the world with good accuracy and low tier ammo with face shots, til they start wearing faceshields

[opal ruin]

about 5k XD with just before 1.0
now its another 3.6k

[hybrid copper]

thats how i am, i use to play in a big rust group but none of my guys play anymore, they tought me eberyhting ik about the game and youre still barely learning at 2k hours

[jovial cobalt]

i put about 1500 in pvp before pve and also like 600 hours into arena lmao

[opal ruin]

i hope ice breaker comes this week

[weary ice]

67

[glossy bloom]

Legs never have armor, so buckshot and other high damage rounds can be utilized without needing to ever aim above the waist

[jovial cobalt]

[hybrid copper]

fire

[jovial cobalt]

some people say the tutorial in eft is the first 1000h lol

[opal ruin]

for arena i need to look how many hours i sank into that one.
but just saying that i played the season 0 half way till i got hooked on pve again.
season 1 i finished both the battlpass and tacti map in maybe 2 month and this new season i am battlepass lvl 76 and tacti map at 32/42

[hybrid copper]

thats how rust is

[weary ice]

arena more like balls haha

[jovial cobalt]

i feel like pve being a bit less brutal makes it easier to learn for sure

[weary ice]

man i love me my balls

[jovial cobalt]

damn nice im only at like lv20 battlepass

[opal ruin]

every "GOOD" game has veterans learn new stuff every now and then

[jovial cobalt]

i havent been playing much

[weary ice]

67 haha

[jovial cobalt]

6️⃣ 7️⃣

[opal ruin]

asking you your lvl in arena is like asking a fish to breath, if you prestiged

[weary ice]

haha 67

[carmine lantern]

lvl67 battlepass

[weary ice]

funny

[glossy bloom]

Bosses have decent spawn chances still, game will start you on interchange, so avoid going inside the mall unless you need to
if you do wanna go inside, flank around to the back, and run the back side of the stores

The military camps on the edges of the map (front and back side of the mall) have good loot, so they are better choices, unless you are looking for specific items

[hybrid copper]

yes, i feel like if you dont learn something from time to time even having high hours the game isnt 'GOOD'

[jovial cobalt]

well prestige 1 is ez aff now so idk

[opal ruin]

ye still not doing it -.-

[odd gale]

Welcome to PVE

[jovial cobalt]

pvp is still rough for sure

[opal ruin]

will not touch pvp

[weary ice]

67 LMAO

[jovial cobalt]

i was having fun though the last few nights

[hybrid copper]

tonight will be my first time loading the game, so i appreciate the tips brotha

[jovial cobalt]

i have to play way differently and actually try to outwit the enemy

[weary ice]

go to interchange and run in the middle, to the green and blue stores

[jovial cobalt]

pvp feels way more like tactics simulator

[hybrid copper]

thank you boss man

[opal ruin]

arma with steroids for CQB

the furthest kill you can get is 1.400m

[weary ice]

67 hehehe

[hybrid copper]

are you serious?

[jovial cobalt]

idk but that sounds about right

[hybrid copper]

real question is

Scav or PMC?

[glossy bloom]

when you go through the tutorial, you will reach a medical "clinic" in lower level of the second building, look under the sheet with the corpses, LedX under there, and having it found in Raid is huge. Remember to look around in the tutorial, loot a little, you can find key hideout items when you start

[jovial cobalt]

1414.3m confirmed shot apparently on lighthouse

[jovial cobalt]

PMC is your main character where pretty much everyone in your raid is the enemy

[hollow sapphire]

i do hope the fish breathes cause how else is the fish gonna get oxygen

[opal ruin]

#screenshots message
my longest is 1182.05m

[jovial cobalt]

scav is you are one of the ai scavengers so you can worry a bit less about fighting them, and dont have to worry about losing gear from your main character

[weary ice]

pmc, bring all your loot and run into interchange

[hybrid copper]

damn

[glossy bloom]

run both, it helps having a high scav rep
Scavs are your free kits, and decent chances to get loot

[jovial cobalt]

not a bad idea to scav run a map for the first time to kinda get a feeling for it before going as your PMC

[plush panther]

I can go in with you as soon as I'm done with this raid

[jovial cobalt]

the extracts are different for scav and pmc though

[opal ruin]

with high enough rep you can even go near most bosses and get some loot

[weary ice]

guys this is tarkov stop being nice to the newbies

[hollow sapphire]

tbh I don't really see any reason to run scav besides maybe learning maps early or something. And lot of the maps are different for scavs because of the extracts

[weary ice]

says rellinou

[hybrid copper]

"PMC" primary main character?\

[jovial cobalt]

no but also yes lol

[weary ice]

i think its player main character

or something

[jovial cobalt]

private military contractor

[hollow sapphire]

private mercenary company soldier

[hybrid copper]

ahhhh oaky

[hollow sapphire]

yeah private military contractor lol

[weary ice]

😍

[hollow sapphire]

i forgot entirely the damn acronym

[weary ice]

i love a man that speaks dirty to me - rellinou

[hybrid copper]

ahhh shit

unpacking game files

[weary ice]

btw try not to throw up when you see the movement

[hybrid copper]

we at 20%, almost done

[hybrid copper]

hahaha okay

[jovial cobalt]

turn your headbob down all the way in the settings

[glossy bloom]

yup, 6.0 rep and you can hang around bosses
Kaban gets a lot of action on streets, and Shturman too

[weary ice]

turn it up for more immersion trust

[hollow sapphire]

time to do some test drives

"yay"

[weary ice]

you want your first few hours to be immersive as possible

[hollow sapphire]

test drive 2 is pretty fun though

[jovial cobalt]

i was messing aroudn with turning it up but i was kinda dissapointed

because when you sprint theres still no headbob so it looks so weird

[opal ruin]

kaban is easy to get a good gun for transition

[weary ice]

10+ year old game btw

100 dollar game btw

[jovial cobalt]

games cooked

[opal ruin]

kollontay for bloody rusted if that DAMN KEY IS SPAWNING

[carmine lantern]

67$ game

[hybrid copper]

imma be getting on for my first raid in a couple hours, gunna go to the gym and get some food if anybody wants to add me and play lmk, ill def take the help in learning the game'

[weary ice]

SIX SEVEN HAHAHA

HAHAHA

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[plush panther]

I just got 3 of these from a weekly

[weary ice]

HAHAHAHAHAHAAHHHE

[hollow sapphire]

you could just run the camp in interchange for loot, much better than hanging around kaban as a scav lol

[weary ice]

AHHAHHHA

[jovial cobalt]

hes going insane

[weary ice]

HAHAHAHAAH

[opal ruin]

1 ONE fricking key found in raid over 25 raids

[weary ice]

grazuma did this to me

[hollow sapphire]

we did like 10 streets looking for the key until we got it, absolutely insanely bad spawn rate lol

but at least you get to fight kollontay

[jovial cobalt]

i hate fighting kollontay at mvd

[weary ice]

well its a marked room key

supposed to be atleast

[hollow sapphire]

yeah mvd sucks

[glossy bloom]

got like 2 spare, found 2 off scavs, and managed to get one after the quest

[hollow sapphire]

It is but the loot is pretty mid compared to the effort, like it's a trash key to go for aside from the door task

at least in my opinion

[weary ice]

i remember lvndmark got a dorm key from it like a year ago

dorm marked key i mean

[carmine lantern]

bloody key can be very good or very miss

I saw people get like 2x marked keys from it

[hollow sapphire]

it used to give a lot of good keys, but they nerfed it to oblivion

[carmine lantern]

or just trash blue keys

[jovial cobalt]

do you think i can survive a raid on interchange in pvp

[weary ice]

no

[jovial cobalt]

im going in

[hollow sapphire]

it's now just mid compared to the effort of getting the key

[jovial cobalt]

yes

[weary ice]

u will die to scavs

[carmine lantern]

you prob can tbh especially if you dont go in the mall

[jovial cobalt]

im gonna skip the mall

[weary ice]

still no

killa will wallbang you through the walls

[jovial cobalt]

im gonna walk the trails

at night too

[weary ice]

killa will snipe you

with his ak50 that he can spawn with

[hollow sapphire]

you should go to lighthouse in pvp, thats easiest map i hear

[jovial cobalt]

killa sniper variant where he has ak50 and is camping on a hill

[jovial cobalt]

[weary ice]

no i said it first

😡

[jovial cobalt]

ngl i didnt even see your message as i was typing mine

twinning

[hollow sapphire]

the ak50 cant pen my muscles

[weary ice]

67 hahaha

[hollow sapphire]

it just bounces off

[jovial cobalt]

after lighthouseing on pve so many times i feel like im kinda confident in pvp

i just dont know where everyone hides with snipers but uhh

it's probably everywhere

[weary ice]

9x19 gt vs gigachad with altyn

[weary ice]

judt look on the wiki bro

wiki has everything

[jovial cobalt]

the wiki cured my cancer

[hollow sapphire]

lighthouse on pve is easy map, like at most maybe you can get screwed by a bad spawn with the gooners

[jovial cobalt]

ty muhawi

[hollow sapphire]

well tbh most maps are kinda on par to that I guess

[weary ice]

i would let muhawi give me foot massages

[opal ruin]

if i could get one gun into tarkov as fast as anything it would be the an94

[weary ice]

m249

we need a 556 lmg

[opal ruin]

magazine fed 556 lmg like the rpk

[hollow sapphire]

I want zip .22 in tarkov

[jovial cobalt]

belt fed lmg

i wanna sling more than 100 rounds with one trigger pull

[opal ruin]

well "technialy" rpd, pkm and m60 are "belt fed" from a magazine XD

[jovial cobalt]

i mean then give us some long ass belts lel

☝️ 🤓

[odd gale]

I want them to hit my shins

[jovial cobalt]

with a bat

[opal ruin]

give us a better rig like a rig with a 4x4

[odd gale]

Mmmm yes

[weary ice]

we need shoes

so i can wear flip flops

and see my pmcs toes

🤤

[odd gale]

We need to be available to add custom pouches to our tac rigs

[weary ice]

cough cough tabor cough cough exfilzone

cough cough vr

[tough cloud]

I want tactical kits for the PPSH and SVT/AVT... I want grips and flashlights on them

[opal ruin]

if rashala is a dealer can we maybe see arena stuff on him or his guards? like 10% chance one of them has arena stuff on him

[odd gale]

Good job

[opal ruin]

nice one

how is live holding up

[weary ice]

pvp more like pee v pee hahahahaha

geddit

[opal ruin]

can they buff parmesans spawn chance pls

didnt see him in 65 raids

[weary ice]

local customs

he dont spawn bsg

istg

[hybrid copper]

wwhos the best person to watch play tarkov while i lift

[weary ice]

sheef

[opal ruin]

really now? how bugged did they make him

[weary ice]

idk ive heard he spawn a lot on customs local

i dont play local bcs i get like 40 fps but you can test it out for me

[jovial cobalt]

find him at woods cultist bunker

i went like 10 raids customs and i didnt see him once and then went there and he immewdiately spawned

[weary ice]

i cant wait for the gps

so i can actually learn woods

[opal ruin]

its easy for me

[weary ice]

the gps is just gonna be so good in general

for maps i dont really play a lot

i just hope they dont lock it behind arena or something

[jovial cobalt]

LOL

oops caps

[opal ruin]

still hating the change they did to customs checkpoint

with the fence

[trail sail]

Nah. No way. They're adding the gps to make the game easier for noobies locking in behind Arena would be really controversial

[weary ice]

sounds like something they would do to be honest

or make it like unheard only

[willow tinsel]

Why would they lock GPS, a feature behind paywall?

[trail sail]

Probably some Jaeger quest

To get it

Or just straight up in the tutorial

[weary ice]

a quest to get it

as an item for noobs

[opal ruin]

the G A quest

[trail sail]

Ya ya like really basic something you can do in ground zero

[plush panther]

is Necruspharm still good for Ledx?

[weary ice]

jaeger was born and educated on english 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 in his first school 🏫 in london but his mother 🧓 is not an official native english 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[weary ice]

yes

[jovial cobalt]

i survived btw

[weary ice]

yeah sure buddy

[willow tinsel]

Do you really think they would be stupid enough to do that

[opal ruin]

first quest from fence: go back on ground zero and get the gps system

[jovial cobalt]

an airdrop landed by me as i was walking on the outskirts of power station and another pmc came like within 10 ft of me on the other side of the wall

[weary ice]

boshetunmay was born and grew in new 🆕 jersey 🇯🇪 to be the home 🏡 for a couple years in his family after a brief marriage in which the two 2️⃣ were

[jovial cobalt]

looted the airdrop and left

[jovial cobalt]

💪 📝

[weary ice]

its tarkov

[willow tinsel]

So?

[weary ice]

they will do anything for money

[willow tinsel]

Thinking BSG didn't learn from mistakes from the past and is ignorant to see what would be controversial is basically saying they can't think further than just money

Nah, unless youre full on bonobo, you don't do that

[weary ice]

bonobo?

[willow tinsel]

And I dont think bsg wants to lose more players to a fucking GPS

[weary ice]

but think about the money

🤑

[willow tinsel]

???

What money? For a GPS? Who even wants that

[weary ice]

me

[willow tinsel]

That would hurt more

Like 5 ppl might buy it if it was paywalled

[weary ice]

i would be one of those

[willow tinsel]

There's no logical sense that it would be

Bonobo is a monkey

Btw

I mean id understand if they knew 100% that a large playerbase wants say BD gear, which they then will paywall through seasonal, thats a different beast

But thats because they KNOW ppl would pay for that

[tough badge]

whats up with the slow hideout loading?

[trail sail]

Its fine for me

[tough badge]

i load in raids just fine but it takes like a solid 1-2 mins to load on first time

[harsh tusk]

When did the car extract on woods stop being 100%?

[trail sail]

Was it always 100% at one point?

I don't remember that after Woods expansion

[harsh tusk]

Idk, many guides about scav rep refer to it as 100%. Might be old ones tho

[astral kindle]

It was 100% and was changed year or two ago

[warped imp]

I don't get it, why is it as a scav if I defend myself, the bosses and other scavs get mad at me? Fought the Cultist on Factory as a scav, and hammer man, got pissed at me for defending myself....Like....What am I missing?

[astral kindle]

Scav groupping is honestly quite poorly coded mechanic, for example if you kill raider as scav other scavs will get angry to you even if you don't loose karma for killing those raiders

[past girder]

"Hammer Man" is Tagilla, he's a boss, bosses will always aggro on you and attack you, unless your scav rep is 6+

[warped imp]

Well at least I can jump threw a window to get away from him, or I'd have a new cave in

[astral kindle]

Yeah long as you don't kill him or anyone who aggroes to you. You're fine

[warped imp]

Bruh, I know that, I have a 17+ with Fence, I just call him that because I like to

[past girder]

My b, the way you worded it seemed like you didn't know homie

[astral kindle]

Last time when i scavved during smuggler event i tanked my fence rep from +10 to under 6 because i did kill 1 scav who did aggro to me

[warped imp]

Nah we chill, He knows I can't have his hammer so he beats Bears with it....luck fuck

[astral kindle]

Talking about not having hammer, seen on youtube if you get that hammer for yourself somehow, there isn't 1st person animations and you cant aim with it jackshit

So kinda understandable why you cant grab it

[sonic wigeon]

[sonic wigeon]

took 4-5 raids

my stray dogs task is finally finished

[warped imp]

I thought you could only get it if you where a Dev or you cheated?

[sonic wigeon]

2 more quests and I am done

[astral kindle]

Correct

Currently there isn't anyway to get it in tarkov, well maybe through fence if cheater sells it there but it will risk your account

[warped imp]

I just want to have it next to my bed, like Let me kill him as my PMC and to it as a trophy, and just have it next to my bed. As much as I want to swing it, I'd much rather have it on display

[vapid cape]

I got the WZ and finished Kappa quest

We are all going to get laid

[harsh tusk]

helllll yeaaaaa, managed to get a co-op extract on reserve. Baiting scavs with nades and just praying they had bad ammo

Thankfully they had trash ammo, as they fired 4 shots into my thorax, and only did 10 damage

Never gonna bother doing it again tho. Mostly worth it the first time for the scav rep

[icy rock]

We seriously baiting scavs as scavs

[harsh tusk]

as scavs?

[icy rock]

Yes

[harsh tusk]

Doing it as pmc, or what do you mean? I don't get it

[icy rock]

Oh ok

I thought you were scavving and baiting scavsmb

[harsh tusk]

Can't co-op extract as a scav Unless you manage to bait an AI PMC. And I feel my chances of surviving that would be low

[icy rock]

I saw someone co-op with knight

Somehow

[harsh tusk]

daaaaamn

[icy rock]

It was on yt

[harsh tusk]

I mean, it's easy if you have the acid green flare. But otherwise, very difficult

[icy rock]

I wish I had acid green for the “oh-shit!” Situations

[harsh tusk]

yea, idk if it's possible to get it outside of events

[icy rock]

It is but super rare lol

[harsh tusk]

f

Only need 0.45 more scav rep until I reach 4.0 for the story. After that, I'll try to get to 5.0 by turning in the epsilon case

Idk if there's a good way to go from 5.0 to 6.0 in rep tho after that

[glossy hound]

you can get it from marked rooms rarely

ive got three of them

[glossy hound]

do your dailies from fence and do car extracts

[warped imp]

I hate the 9x39s

[harsh tusk]

Yea but after doing 4 extracts on each car, it's basically worthless to keep getting rep that way

[glossy hound]

sure but it helps. consider that a daily gives like 0.01-0.03 rep, and even at the lowest car extracts give 0.01, so they're still like a daily worth

[harsh tusk]

Honestly I'm thinking of just doing it that transition way. Transit between 2 locations back n forth and kill every pmc I see. Since every transit counts as an extract

[glossy hound]

but frankly your best bet is to just do something like streets with predictable pmc spawns

that's what i did

[harsh tusk]

I ignore dailys tho, becuase an average of 0.02 would require 50 days of daily just for 1 level

[glossy hound]

i mean if that's all you're doing sure

but over the course of a week that's 0.07 more rep minimum than you would have had, just for doing scav runs that you can also kill pmcs or do transits on

[harsh tusk]

Doesn't fence give any rep for a task outside of the epsilon case, and daily?

[glossy hound]

small business task line

[harsh tusk]

I'm gonna try to do it over the course of maybe a day or 2 tho, by just spamming transitions. Hoping for the best

[harsh tusk]

What starts that one?

[glossy hound]

dunno

im at 7.7 fence rep though so i can only tell you what worked for me

[harsh tusk]

I'd check, but I just entered a raid

[sonic wigeon]

its been 6 raids

since i last saw

a single pmc in dorms

like

where are they bro

[sonic wigeon]

if i remember correctly you need 4.0 then after reaching 4.0 you will get a quest

to reach 5.0

then the quests will start to appear

[harsh tusk]

Ah nice, so basically, after reaching 4.0, everything will be easier

because I can reach 5.0 easily by giving up my epsilon. And after that, I can farm his other tasks until 6.0

[valid folio]

so when is next event 🙂

[astral kindle]

Icebreaker, should be later this month

[marble bronze]

They either spawn there or you reset

[valid folio]

has it been confirmed this month ?

[trail sail]

I wonder whats the Shoreline one is going to be

Should be before Icebreaker

[icy rock]

Hopefully icebreaker is in the next 2 weeks cuz I have exams next week

[warped imp]

Anyone know a good long range scope I can put on the VSS?

[icy rock]

Razor

Idk lopowers I love for their versatility

[astral kindle]

Yes, on TarkovTV Nikita did mention "Icebreaker will come out in May"

But of course always expect delays

[icy rock]

That should be bsg motto/slogan

[prisma forum]

fr fr

[icy rock]

Can’t wait for bd gear love the spear mass organizer

[astral kindle]

Also if BSG really adds BD boss there, i can't wait to see people complaining about their accuracy and such

People think they want BD on other maps yet same people complained about smuggler event

[dusk rampart]

hi guys, anyone else not able to play / swap to PVE? my friend bought PVE yesterday and it still isnt activated

[slim kettle]

You're actually lucky, I'm unlucky. Yesterday I played 3 games on Shoreline and they killed me in all 3.

[trail sail]

Dlc / expansions are bugged

[prisma forum]

sometimes it takes a dya or 2 to activate its ass

[turbid hedge]

for fence's task in savior ending where you kill 5 pmc's without killing scavs, can i do it in "1 raid" via transit?

[astral kindle]

I've read somewhere logging out and back into launcher might work but can't confirm this

[warped imp]

And Ring scope mount?

[astral kindle]

You can transit to keep counter going yes

[icy rock]

30mm whatever the poop u want

[dusk rampart]

hes been doing that for 12hrs now lmao

[trail sail]

There's people that can't access pve since the 8th

Its a known issue rn

[dusk rampart]

amazing lmao

cheers anyway duds

[icy rock]

Call the non existent bsg support

[trail sail]

Purchases after the 8th started bugging and won't let you switch

[turbid hedge]

sweet, thanks

[trail sail]

People bought new stash lines and the older ones they had got deleted and theyre stuck with items in sorting table

[icy rock]

Tarkov is nikkitas dream game, yet his nightmare

[astral kindle]

Fact, Tarkov was suppost to be small stepping stone to get money for russia 2028 but tarkov got too popular

So yes its literally dream and nightmare for Nikita

[icy rock]

Looks like he accidentally pioneered extraction shooters lol

Now that he tried to milk money from us we put pressure on him

[prisma forum]

take my money nikkita

[crystal oyster]

Yo nice hat

[astral kindle]

Thanks

[manic pewter]

dont think its nikitas nightmare at all

[slim token]

if I use for example sewing to craft fleece fabric, is the crafting going to ruin the sewing kit's fir status when I get it back?

[manic pewter]

so not sure where this sentiment comes from

[manic pewter]

nope

[warped imp]

So the Train on Reserve is stuck

oh it fixed itself

[still shuttle]

do you have to play on BSG servers to use transit as scav?
i've tried transiting from interchange to streets like 3 times now and each time i get stuck at "starting local game"

luckily when i alt-f4 the game gives me back the exact scav i had with all my loot

[raw nest]

If you play on local you can’t go into local streets

[still shuttle]

ohhh so for other maps it would work but streets specifically is not allowed to run on local? i never noticed that, i see it now

that makes sense but still annoying it doesn't just ask to switch me to BSG or anything

[jolly bough]

Cultist hunting. Should i stay in raid and wait or should i run trough and hope they spawns out of the gate?

[marble bronze]

Up to you. I usually go clear out fortress/crackhouse area then bugger off to dorms or new gas for a bit then come back

[jolly bough]

I am not a fan of having to cultist hunt. just find it to generally boring and rng dependant for a main story quest

[hearty vapor]

what are your guys thoughts on rouges being able to shoot you through the crack of a door on a fucking machine gun 😭

[gusty whale]

Welcome to tarkov

[tired shoal]

I just factory ran a ton, and if its quiet you'll have to find the cultists

[marble bronze]

If you're gonna peek a manned MG nest while in it's field of view... You're gonna have a bad time

So maybe don't do that

[hearty vapor]

im talking about the crack where the hinges are

from like 200m this man shouldnt be able to lock on like a fucking sharpshooter

[marble bronze]

I know. Point stands

[hearty vapor]

a real player could never hit that shot lol

[sand cosmos]

im glad its like that

[trail sail]

Its funny ngl

[crystal oyster]

You're playing against ai not real players

[gusty whale]

Tbf a real player would spam the entire building and smack you the second you started shooting at them

[hearty vapor]

AI could be more realistic BSG is just lazy

[marble bronze]

Sounds like you're doing it wrong tbh. Peeking from that door is not a great way to engage that nest

[sand cosmos]

bro, against a player u wouldnt even get to peek the door angle

[manic pewter]

thats fine, easily avoidable situation to beign with so

[crystal oyster]

Yeah that doesn't help your point here lol

[sand cosmos]

if thats an issue to you, thats truly an skill issue

[gusty whale]

In this situation I don't mind it, but yes, ai generally needs more work. Much better than a year or so ago though

[manic pewter]

which MG on WTP is it even?

[sand cosmos]

probs the warehouse 2

[manic pewter]

oh, i see which one it is

[sand cosmos]

looking to warehouse 3

[manic pewter]

yeah

[hearty vapor]

its not an issue for me just think its a little absurd

[sand cosmos]

then dont peek it?

[manic pewter]

the one looking towards v-exit ofc

clear it before you get close

very easy to do

[sand cosmos]

not everything in this game has to be handed to you

youll manage

[manic pewter]

clearing out WTP in general is pretty simple

[sand cosmos]

yeah, if u dont clear it u deserve to be shot by the mg

[manic pewter]

especially since that one can be cleared before even going into WTP

[umbral crypt]

Anyone have a COFDM spot? Lightkeeper and reserve is messing w me

[sonic wigeon]

only pkpts gave me enough

[gusty whale]

Labyrinth

[manic pewter]

if youre only going to pkpts then i recommend also checking stuff like white queen and dome

i dont remember the key name for dome, but its on the second floor

[tender juniper]

Do any of you guys hoard high-end gear like a loot goblin? Though you could never actually use all of it and it just takes up space in your stash

[hearty vapor]

did they hint at what point in may icebreaker will release?

[manic pewter]

in may

thats it

[marble bronze]

In June

Maybe July

[manic pewter]

they said icebreaker this month though im rpetty sure

[astral kindle]

https://tarkov.community/pages/tarkovtv-may2026

[manic pewter]

i have 4 unused MP7s, ill probably not finish the first

[astral kindle]

There is summary of tarkovTV
But yes icebreaker should be coming this month

[marble bronze]

It's BSG, delays are inevitable

[hearty vapor]

looked pretty finished in the teaser imo

[manic pewter]

not that inevitable

its not exactly GTA6 releasing

[marble bronze]

Nah. All of my gear fits on ~ one page of crates

[hearty vapor]

End of line looks more interesting then icebreaker imo

[gusty whale]

Kinda, hoard SMTs, blue folders, intels, MCBs, stuff I use for barters/scav case/can't buy on flea mainly

[sand cosmos]

no point hoarding in pve

[tender juniper]

I have So many of those lightweight tier 5 plates and so many six plates. It takes up an entire thick case worth of containers.... I have like 12 rigs that just sit there that gets circulated in and out and five scavses full of junk. That's literally never going to be used

[marble bronze]

You can dupe/repair the 3s15m plates in hideout. There's zero reason to have more than a couple spare

[sonic wigeon]

i got goons attacking me dorms
