pve-chat

[sonic wigeon]

holy

i lived tho tis fine

[manic pewter]

wdym there isnt a point, it almost serves more of a point in PvE than in PvP in regards to barter items

kits, sure

[marble bronze]

Money is free in PvE, and stores better than barter shit

[sand cosmos]

roubles mean nothing in pve

u can juat buy shit for barter if need be

[manic pewter]

roubles mean nothing but im still a cheap mf

[hearty vapor]

thats a pretty stupid statement lol

[sand cosmos]

How so?

roubles in pve is piss easy to get

[gusty whale]

Rookie numbers, I'm at I think ~24 armour cases of just gac 4sss, termite and nesco level 6 plates maybe slightly excessive

[hearty vapor]

roubles are the main form of currency

[astral kindle]

Indeed, quick factory gives 200-300k easily

[sand cosmos]

which is piss easy to get

= means nothing

pve prices are 200% higher most of the time cuz the money has no value

[astral kindle]

Kill few PMCs and loot their guns + helmets

[sand cosmos]

u have no competition looting your maps

[manic pewter]

nah, thats just unneccessary unless the weapon is ultra broken and you want to repair it

well, i suppose it depends on the helmet

but still

[gusty whale]

Ye I wish ai looted more, and item spawns were lower. Average 2 ledx and 2 defibs every interchange run, can get together 2-3 thicc item cases a day if I tryharded it

[astral kindle]

Its just quick money if you have couch with you

[sand cosmos]

AI needs to be able to loot, open keycard / key doors

[manic pewter]

if i have a couch on me

[sand cosmos]

so it doesnt feel so dead

[manic pewter]

ive opened a marked room

[sand cosmos]

idk how i played pve for so long

[astral kindle]

Of course labs and such is way better but factory is just quick loot if you play scav or something

[manic pewter]

im not gonna loot a pmc for his helmet and gun when i can get more far easier

[hearty vapor]

beats the pain and suffering in PVP

[sand cosmos]

there is none really

its called playing the game

u will die, u will win

n pve, u dont lose anything really

no risk involved

if u use insurance that is

cuz for some fuckass reason its 100%

[gusty whale]

Ye insurance being 100% is my biggest gripe

[tender juniper]

I have like 10 sets of gear ready to go in mint condition for event cuz I usually get killed a lot during those. I think I died like 26 times during this customs event, just from random AI bullshit

[stone goblet]

i love my loui peeton gamma

[gusty whale]

That just objectively makes 0 sense

[sand cosmos]

yeah

[hearty vapor]

they should just make it to where its a coin toss in getting your shit back

not 100% guarantee

[sand cosmos]

ur guns should be coming back stripped like 70% of the time

[tender juniper]

Also do you guys use like the maxed out stuff, rys-ts and six plates?

[sand cosmos]

if not more

[sand cosmos]

no

[gusty whale]

Damn, I only died once, was running a sv98 and a pistol, of course I get jumped fortress by a trio of guard one with an altyn

[sand cosmos]

flexing on the pve players with no way of getting it xd

[gusty whale]

If I'm trying to do something where i dont want to die, yeah, like do mastery on guns

[hearty vapor]

Aimbot and Aimbot nades will do that

[tender juniper]

I was specifically hunting guards and bosses so I was constantly in combat. It was to the point I was getting shot so much that I was just ditching plates and swapping them with whatever I could find on the guards

[marble bronze]

Is it a flex if it's ugly tho?

[sand cosmos]

it is

thats your opinion

[uneven cloak]

i was having fun zero-to-heroing with a mosin last night, i think i made it out 1 time out of like 6 raids hahaha

on the customs event i mean

[stone goblet]

when you prestige in pvp, the rewards transfer over so

[gusty whale]

I mean I was averaging 15-20 kills/raid, most below 50 meters. Was clearing fortress etc with it. Sadly 3 spawned while I was looting just outside and jumped me good

[tender juniper]

If you were intentionally fighting those guys and didn't get killed a bunch, you must be a god. Cuz that AI shot me straight through the neck plates at least half a dozen times when I was wearing six gear

[sand cosmos]

i barley know anyone who plays pve and pvp actively

its either or

[wraith meadow]

Anyone Having issues with servers on the EU ive been disconnected three times already and my pings in the 200 and im on eu only servers ??

[tender juniper]

You're going to have to teach me your ways then. You're going to have to teach me your ways then. You using high pen ammo?

[gusty whale]

Yeah, think 55 pen in sv98 (BT) and 7n42 for pistol (38 pen)

Not running high pen ammo is crazy with the amount of t5 helmets, got 2 altyns and 2 rhys in 1 raid early on

[sonic wigeon]

my only gripe was the fact that they throw grenades on the smallest hints of sound

I died 3 times out of my 60ish raids during the customs event

[tender juniper]

I mean I was using BS ammo. And whatever I could take off of their corpses. Which is probably why I got killed so often

[hearty vapor]

thats been my biggest problem killing them is easy trying to avoid random airstrikes not so easy.

[tender juniper]

Having the mag dump almost every scab if I didn't plink them in the head

[gusty whale]

Ye with most the guns I mastered, m60, pkm, vector, etc it wasn't too bad, but the uzi sucked and then only had bolt actions and pistols left, which was actually hell

[tender juniper]

Fair. I did like just wipe my PVE account. So I don't have access to the high grade ammo yet. I have a few magazines of it but it's not much

[gusty whale]

Basically made 0 progress on bolts and pistols

[gusty whale]

Ye if you didn't have much good ammo event was rough

[sonic wigeon]

was just in customs dorm the whole time I was there(For evil watchman)

I think some pmcs pissed off the goons and lured them to dorms

[gusty whale]

Wish I'd played more on my hardcore account though, could've farmed some nice gear

[sonic wigeon]

😭

bro

[wild bane]

time to go kill 5 pmc on shoreline and interchange without killing scavs ugh

[plush panther]

I'll be getting that tomorrow 😔

what a quest

[stiff hemlock]

good ammo spawns if i don't have labs card would be streets?

[sage marsh]

Or reserves

[stiff hemlock]

where on reserve bunker?

[sage marsh]

WTP usually has some decent ammo

[stiff hemlock]

ah forgot about wtp? didnt they nerf it?

[sage marsh]

Prolly but its an easy run through to loot

[stiff hemlock]

true

they need to remove local host for customs lmfao i cant believe they havent fixed that shenanigans

[gusty whale]

Street TG armoury is best besides labs, but labs is still 10x faster than anywhere else for nato ammo. Train depot and labyrinth are best for rus ammo

[stiff hemlock]

looks like i just gotta get gud with russian ammo until i get PK3

[wild bane]

mvd too if kollontay aint there

[wild bane]

this shit gonna suck man

last hurdle before terminal though

[lime mauve]

5.45 BP and BT spawn everywhere on interchange

You'll find PPBS occasionally too

[stiff hemlock]

i just got the armored case its in my stash i technically dont have to say anything to prapor until i decide what ending to go to right? cause its gonna eat all my prapor rep

ill keep an eye out for loose ammo on my next interchange

[warped imp]

I wish i could have a left handed operator

[rare field]

Ahh customs event finally over

Surely, Icebreaker Tomorrow

[astral kindle]

Gets delayed another day

[manic pewter]

Honestly, i feel like prapor is one of the least useful lvl 4 traders in the game so, honestly tanking his rep aint too bad

[midnight wasp]

LH representation in games is abysmal at best, sadly

[warped imp]

I just had the shittest of spawns on Reserve, right in between raiders and the Boss, and guess what....died to head eyes....again

[obtuse monolith]

No PMCs at Customs? Didn't met anyone

[warped imp]

I know, it just would be nice to play in the way most folks could handle

[hearty vapor]

didnt they mention a shoreline event?

[distant obsidian]

Tomorrow surely

[obtuse monolith]

No PMCs at Customs? Didn't met anyone

[manic pewter]

Sup tyreall

[warped imp]

yep, it's an unlucky day, went to shoot a PMC as a scav, the first and second round jam so I die

Mornin

[harsh tusk]

What the fuck, just got jebaited by a bear AI PMC when playing as a player scav.
He was undergeared and looked like a scav, waved at me and greeted me with "da". He then shot and killed a usec AI PMC, before turning around and blasting me

[midnight wasp]

one of those moments where remembering faces comes in handy

[harsh tusk]

He was wearing a balaclava

And those green/yellow goggles scavs usually wear

[livid oxide]

watching Jesse trying to escape rn

[fiery river]

[harsh tusk]

Anyways, thankfully my scav karma is quite good. So I'll be re-running in 2 min

[fiery river]

Can someone take me to the lab? I want to do the main storyline but I'm too scared to go to the lab.

;w;

and my English isn't very good.

[livid oxide]

Don't be scared. It's only a video game.

[fiery river]

The atmosphere in this game is terrifying.

[harsh tusk]

The raiders on labs can be very predictable. If you're scared of em, just hold a doorway and wait for them to push

[magic yacht]

Only if you let it be

[analog topaz]

Lab is one of the easier maps because it has no boss. Just raiders and PMCs. What ammo are you running?

[fiery river]

PS

NL545

yellow

[analog topaz]

I would take gear you are okay with losing but can still fight with as labs has no insurance.

[midnight wasp]

you just gave me a wave of nostalgia, remembering when the game actually scared me. the atmosphere and the ambiance in Tarkov is unparalleled.

[livid oxide]

Terminal is peak Tarkov immersion. Wish they would let us run it over again.

[magic yacht]

Absolutly

[fiery river]

I just watched the tutorial. I still need to move from the factory.

[midnight wasp]

100%

[fiery river]

Hammers are also terrifying.

[magic yacht]

The constant utter Tension that Terminal has makes it such a good Mission

[livid oxide]

I just want to try all the different routes and try stuff like shotguns only

[magic yacht]

Do you have grenades?
If so, then take one or two into factory and throw them, if you hear an angry russian go "UH, BLYAT" or "OP BABA" you know where the Hammer is at

[analog topaz]

If you die on Terminal it should give you the fallen ending. 💀

[midnight wasp]

nothing beats the experience of not knowing what you're doing on a new map and just organically exploring

[magic yacht]

I honestly just want to use up the remaining rfid cards I crafted in advance

[livid oxide]

haha luckily I only had 2 leftover and put it on my mannequin

[fiery river]

I only managed to complete the quest by shooting him with a fully automatic shotgun last time.

[magic yacht]

I had like 16 I found and crafted into rfid cards and now I have 9 leftovers

[midnight wasp]

i crafted about 15 cards in advance waiting on a friend so we could do it together. we beat it first try of the night and i have all the friggin cards left over, doing nothing lmao

[sage marsh]

reset and do it again

[magic yacht]

Yea I dont care if we'd complete terminal a second time and get nothing I just wanna quickly replay it without having to either reset the account or frag myself at the zubr

[midnight wasp]

honestly waiting for prestige. if i reset, i'd like to at least gain something

[livid oxide]

The Terminal map option should open up for escapers and we can run it without transiting or creating rfids

and skip the cutcene option

[midnight wasp]

and on top of that. im still okay with it costing us a RFID

[livid oxide]

can't watch Pasha die again

[magic yacht]

Thats what I really would hope for, a return to tarkov update that lets you visit a destroyed version of Terminal

[magic yacht]

Idk if somebody ever did it but I eventually started playing the soviet anthem in my head everytime I saw all the scavs flood through the hole in the wall

[livid oxide]

lmao

[midnight wasp]

screenshots ain't allowed in here right? i got a screenshot of the new Menpo mask eating a 5.45BT in the most recent event. shit had me like 0_0

[analog topaz]

Post it in screen shots and link to the message

[astral kindle]

#screenshots

[midnight wasp]

for some odd reason, i can't see it in the channel listings. odd

#screenshots message

aha!

[sage marsh]

i mean...

[fiery river]

Is it easy to use ASH-12 to attack a lab?

[sage marsh]

BT isnt the greatest ammo

And everything has a bounce chance

my death shadow eats damage like that alot

whats that mask made of tho?

[marble bronze]

Same shit as deathshadow

[sage marsh]

then yea that makes total sense

[marble bronze]

It's just a worse deathshadow

[bronze saddle]

so... is Customs clear? did Glukhar fuck off?

[astral kindle]

Yes

[marble bronze]

Event is over yes

[sage marsh]

if you read the announcements...

[marble bronze]

No one does that

Ever

[sage marsh]

i know

its real sad

[bronze saddle]

that means i can go knifing people again

[hybrid copper]

does it matter witch faction you pic?

[sage marsh]

Not really

aside from fashion

[midnight wasp]

UHMWPE like a lot of that stuff. i was at distance and the bullet went straight through, but the damage reduction from going through armor left my head at 2hp. spooky

[sage marsh]

im so hyped for the wearing all clothes option

[marble bronze]

USEC has a little easier time with water treatment plant, that's about it

[sage marsh]

its not a noticeable difference

[harsh tusk]

damn, player scav transition got me stuck on "starting local game" for 5 minutes

[marble bronze]

I mean you can walk right in the front gate as USEC

[midnight wasp]

i also have that issue. i cannot do transits as a scav. someone's tryna boost their fence rep!

[sage marsh]

fence rep isnt worth it anymore

[harsh tusk]

Yep lol, closing in on 4.0, after wich it'll be quite a bit easier to increase it

[sage marsh]

since 6+ doesnt make the pmc's your friend anymore

[harsh tusk]

Still makes bosses friendly

[midnight wasp]

no more marked keys in fence's inventory? i heard that's where a bunch of people "farm," marked keys

[livid oxide]

Jesse died to Killa on Terminal nooooo

[harsh tusk]

Who's Jesse?

[midnight wasp]

i got The Hammer on terminal once..

[livid oxide]

Jesse Kazzam

[sage marsh]

Thats something youd need to literally sit in his inventory with bot like precision to even have a chance of seeing/grabbing

[harsh tusk]

Still worth getting to unlock all fence tasks

[hybrid copper]

any Na players willing to help teach a brotha how to play the game just launched it for the very first time.

[harsh tusk]

And because bosses are friendly, you can bait AI scavs to shoot them, by giving them the finger and hiding behind the bosses

[magic yacht]

On my winning run I had Glukhar and his squad, they took care of BD so I could just run straight through

[livid oxide]

welcome and prepare to die a lot

[midnight wasp]

oh you sweet summer child... i wish you the best of luck!

thank you boys literally just loaded the tut

[midnight wasp]

i've been playing for so long by this point, i can forget there are people JUST discovering/getting into this game.

[harsh tusk]

How long has the game been around? I started playing in very early 2020, like january

[midnight wasp]

little tip for your main story tasks if you want to avoid living on the wiki. read EVERYTHING. all the notes. everything the traders say. and especially what your character "writes" or thinks after you do something quest related. your character knows their way around tarkov a little better than you do currently

[midnight wasp]

2016 i believe

[harsh tusk]

ah, I missed the first 4 years then. Altough the alpha phase didn't look all that exciting

[sage marsh]

yea the game had its 10 year birthday right around 1.0

[harsh tusk]

The game is quite different now compared to when I started

I remember the shared stamina bar. All the bhopping and people jiggle peaking

[livid oxide]

Pre-inertia Tarkov was so different

[harsh tusk]

The peaker's advantage used to be so bad back then

[midnight wasp]

quite. i remember when interchange was added as a map. i remember a time before factory had a boss at all. tarkov was WAAAAY different to how it is now

[harsh tusk]

I'd just straight up die before ever seeing the peaker

[sage marsh]

i want the pre inertia tarkov back

[harsh tusk]

Yea old factory was just straight PvP. Super small map with no bosses

[midnight wasp]

if you want a taste. Arena has no inertia. but it's filled with the most bitchless, unemployed people playing tarkov currently

[harsh tusk]

Pre inertia tarkov was fun imo. But it had its issues

[sage marsh]

yea fuck that. arena needs to get shut down

[harsh tusk]

F it, gonna alt f4 my scav raid. almost 17 minutes stuck on "starting local game" after transit now

[livid oxide]

remove local hosting

[magic yacht]

They just need to either remove ref or add a PvE zone to Arena which works for PvE Ref
Second solution wouldnt fix Ref beeing P2W for regular Tarkov, but it would atleast have some more people from the PvE side of the Community play Arena

[harsh tusk]

I was transiting from factory to customs. Can't turn it off on factory

[latent sierra]

whats a good weapon to farm tagilla?

[magic yacht]

Plus a PvE mode for Arena would allow BSG to test and improve their AI aswell

[livid oxide]

horde mode

[magic yacht]

weapon doesnt matter, but ammo does

[sage marsh]

i like this guy

[midnight wasp]

anything with 50+ pen to cut through his face armor

[crimson meteor]

anyone got a strat for return the favor?

[marble bronze]

Apply alcohol

[magic yacht]

I was about to suggest Moonshine

[crimson meteor]

honestly tho im so bored of clearing sawmill and running up and down the road to find no one

[midnight wasp]

truly, being inhibited is the only way to enjoy that quest

[crimson meteor]

they changed all the annoying quests except this one

[magic yacht]

Yea I either get it done really quickly or I sit there for 50 raids

[marble bronze]

Supposedly if you hang around near but not inside the bunker they can show up there. I've also seen some around spine early in the raid

[magic yacht]

That and Capturing Outposts are the only two tasks that need a little bit of adjustment because of how different AI PMCs and Player PMCs act

[midnight wasp]

if you hang around INSIDE the bunker, all the scavs on the map decide it's war

[crimson meteor]

capturing outposts used to be easy on pve until the pmcs stopped spawning in scav spots

[magic yacht]

Or Partizan shows up and declares the Bunker Entrance an out of bounds area

[marble bronze]

I mean that's just free grenades

[midnight wasp]

i get PTSD flashbacks of an AVT full of SNB every time i hear or see his name. that shit is diabolical

[rotund talon]

if u spawn near scav house rush the ususal path and u will do it in 4 raids

other spawns are useless

[magic yacht]

Yea im still waiting on them to adjust the tasks since they want PMCs to spawn at their respective spawnpoints

[sage marsh]

they also made the box for RTF way bigger

[worn flame]

??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.

[midnight wasp]

the OG box for kills was so ridiculous..

[crimson meteor]

the pmcs just need more to be more active and move around the map, I hate that they just pick a spot and sit there the whole raid

[sage marsh]

this is false

[magic yacht]

Yea bot needs an update

[distant obsidian]

Pre interia tarkov was ass

Cod lobbies everywhere

I mean it was fun for PvP if you hunted timmies all day sure

[sage marsh]

#screenshots message

Pretty big area to catch them now

[rotund talon]

he is easy to cheese there

[raw nest]

That makes it so much easier

[rotund talon]

still they are not often coming there

[crimson meteor]

im still struggling to find anyone, id rather kill shadow of tagilla with a melee weapon than do this quest again

[rotund talon]

bc of sturman

[sage marsh]

PMC's avoid sawmill more now than ever

[distant obsidian]

I did RTF before the next expansion in 8 raids. It's really easy

[crimson meteor]

easy but its boring

[distant obsidian]

O nvm they didn't expand it again

[sage marsh]

Beeline to bunker, then wrap around the mountain to plane

[distant obsidian]

That zone was what I did mine

[sage marsh]

draw them out of village is possible since most of that field counts now

[rotund talon]

for me they are going there like flies

[distant obsidian]

It's doing the same thing in any other raid. Go to a spot, kill, move on. Literally the same lol

[sage marsh]

then go kill shturman

Hes not a hard kill

[distant obsidian]

Hangout ABOVE bunker until about 23. Either reset or go to junction until 10

[rotund talon]

bruh but the pmcs will be at the sawmill not in the radius

[sage marsh]

youve never baited people to follow you huh

[rotund talon]

ppl yes

[distant obsidian]

You can't bait pmcs

[rotund talon]

dumb ai never

[sage marsh]

Yes you can

[magic yacht]

The last zone expansion did help but its still the task I had the most rng issues with

[livid oxide]

maybe they should add a lure grenade like arc raiders

[sage marsh]

Ive had them push me after i pick a fight and run away

[distant obsidian]

Pmcs have a strict pathing and moving them from it isn't possible.

They will chase a little, but not far

[sage marsh]

you dont need far with sawmill

[magic yacht]

my fastest completion for RTF was in 4 raids, but my current attempt needed 51 raids total to complete

[sage marsh]

literally into the treeline below the mountain

[distant obsidian]

It's like secured parameter.

[rotund talon]

u deffinitly play diff game

[sage marsh]

which is a path they already take

[distant obsidian]

Once agroed they hunker down and look around

[sage marsh]

I stopped trying for RTF for like 6 months

then just finished it a couple days ago

mostly by rushing Bunker

[rotund talon]

they are sometimes there

sometimes

[sage marsh]

its the best chance youll get

[rotund talon]

nah the road near gate is more reliable

[distant obsidian]

Yeah, sitting on bunker until 23 then moving on. Pmcs can patrol down from goon area around 29-30, then you can see some come from village at 23-25

[sage marsh]

run up along the road by USEC camp and you can catch some there

[distant obsidian]

You can catch some at junction moving to extract at outskirts and also catch some pmcs moving from emercom, up spine and to junction

Also a rare timing at the bear camp

[sage marsh]

i definitely baited my way thru SP tho

id let them shoot me and break an arm or something then hide and they pushed me

[distant obsidian]

They have a chance when certain conditions are met, but it's still a chance. More often pmcs will always pull back and take cover until their agro fades

[sage marsh]

they dont like voicelines

which i think kicks up thier aggro

but its been...4 updates since i did SP

so its likely entirely different

[wanton lake]

hello guys, ive tried escaping and lost my first try, bought another ticket from Praper for 5 mil, Went over to Shoreline and had the item in my special slot, but it said No Required Item.. Anyone know this? Cant really find anything on it.

[sage marsh]

did you craft the keycard?

[wanton lake]

no i need to buy them from prapor for 5 mil

[distant obsidian]

No idea. I did saviour

[sage marsh]

i thought you had to recraft the keycard for each run

[livid oxide]

depends on the ending

[sage marsh]

ah

[distant obsidian]

It's different for each ending your on

[wanton lake]

i got the 300 mil ending

300 and 500 mil you get the ticket from prapor for 5 mil

[livid oxide]

i did Savior for the pretty menu background

[distant obsidian]

One is buying a note from prapor. One is crafting a key card. One is going to LK EVERYTIME for a new pass lol

That one sounds like ass

[wanton lake]

wanted to go for that one too but the bugs screwed me out of it

[livid oxide]

it's ok. you can try again when they add prestige

[wanton lake]

want to escape before the next update

you never know the outcome of those updates with tarkov

made it to the gate tho so for first try i think its not too shabby

[carmine lantern]

I could really go for a shoreline event right about now

[wanton lake]

thats exactly what i wanne avoid when trying to escape xD

[marble bronze]

Who hurt you

[cunning sequoia]

Just got blue violet and black from rbvo

[dense sentinel]

alright finished crafting my 9th savior keycard so im ready to lose em all this weekend trying to escape lmfao

[glacial torrent]

whats the best way to find toolsets. ive looted around 150 toolboxes and still yet to find one

[crimson sky]

how to check active codes

[carmine lantern]

toolbox and technical crates. ground zero is great for that. but you can also craft them in your workbench and it makes it found in raid.

thx

[glacial torrent]

i need them soon since im trying to make the black box

i did 10 ground zero raids and 2 on labs looting all of the toolboxes still didnt find it

[carmine lantern]

its 7 minutes for a craft in workbench

[crimson sky]

i think you can craft them in your hideout

[glacial torrent]

what level workbench

[carmine lantern]

1

[glacial torrent]

oo oki

thank you

i didnt know

i was tired of running around looting toolboxes lmao

[carmine lantern]

thats why im here

[slender lantern]

whats the quest you need to co-op extract

isent a lightkeeper chain?

disregard, its a story quest chain,
do i get "the ticket" after getting aquainted?

[carmine lantern]

the story quest is different in pve anyways, theres nothing that needs a coop extract in pve

[slender lantern]

oh really? dont need it for the ticket?

[carmine lantern]

its different in pve

[slender lantern]

is there a wiki for pve story chain?

[carmine lantern]

if it was not, the amount of people who would have completed the story would be like, in single digits lol

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

on the right side there is a pic that shows the flowchart

the ticket quest starts after you get the armored case and either hand it over or keep it

[slender lantern]

how far into falling skies for the armored case?

[carmine lantern]

end of the quest

[slender lantern]

oh damn

[carmine lantern]

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

[slender lantern]

is that flow chart for pve and pvp?

[carmine lantern]

yes

everything is the same except that one part, which it shows

[slender lantern]

mucho gracias

[slender lantern]

but lightkeeper is needed for failing skies and the ticket?

[carmine lantern]

if you give the case to prapor, yes you will need lightkeeper for the ticket.

not for falling skies

[slender lantern]

if i play on local and for example i mess up one of the selection in game, and took me down a ending i dont want, can i alt f4 and revert?

I am done

💥

[sudden sand]

Can someone explain how a 545.39 bt didnt kill a scav wearing a domontovich hat i shot him in the head there was a blood splat on the hat but he didnt die lol

[inland wind]

scav just better

[sudden sand]

Ive had a few times with different scavs wearing different hats

[sudden sand]

Lol I guess

[carmine lantern]

just another day in tarkov

[midnight wasp]

peashooter

[sudden sand]

Its just a hat though lol

[midnight wasp]

the non meme answer, is to first ask how far away you were from the scav. 5.45 suffers from low damage, and thus damage falloff at range

[sudden sand]

About 10 meters away lol

[midnight wasp]

although i would expect BT to simply have enough damage flatout to not matter at ranges below 300, through an unarmored head. seems like a hit registration issue

i don't encounter hitreg issues often on local hosting but they do exist

[sudden sand]

Like it hit there was blood on his hat and face but just ran away i got him though lol

[kind hawk]

Twitch drops for subscripcion still awailable?

[midnight wasp]

yeah, you'll see a blood spatter and see their head snap back, but keep on walking. its wild to see

[latent sierra]

where should i check when farming tagilla before reseting?

[carmine lantern]

the campaign isnt started yet

[sudden sand]

I was like ahh zombie lol

[carmine lantern]

for twitch drops, that is

and yea it probably hit him in the thorax or something

[sudden sand]

Hes in a few spots around factory can be in the containers by office or under ground or by the med tent is where I usually find him

[sudden sand]

Damn lol I swear I hit him in the face/head

[carmine lantern]

you probably did, just issues with hit reg or something like what bugzapper said, at least its what I can assume because tarkov

ive seen so many times where scavs just tank several bullets to the face even though they have like 30 head health

or like an ak 50 round to the chest

[median frigate]

Just throw 3/4 flashes around factory and hear for his laugh / scream

[carmine lantern]

they dont give a fuck sometimes

[sudden sand]

I know lol Russians built differently

[carmine lantern]

so drunk on moonshine they dont even know they got shot in the face

[sudden sand]

Anyways I need to get a pkp for gunsmith part 25 I've gone and killed koban loads and hes only had pkm or rpk is there anyway else of getting it or is it all by chance

[raw nest]

Just farm kaban more

[still fulcrum]

only kaban lol

[latent sierra]

just luck. got it first time myself B)

[sudden sand]

Damn

[still fulcrum]

I have a PKP sitting in my stash

and 2 PKMs from him

[sudden sand]

Ah your lucky I've killed him lots but never seems to have it

[sudden sand]

Rub it in why dont ya hahaha

[still fulcrum]

Real

[sudden sand]

Lol its so annoying

Also anyone got any tips for labry

[analog topaz]

Do the survivor ending and skip it. 😭

[carmine lantern]

bring a gun you like and very good pen ammo

[sudden sand]

Ahhh I wanna do the best ending

[carmine lantern]

watch a video or guide to show how to leave your starting area

do not try to get past the trap at the start, it is a death zone

[sudden sand]

I learnt that the hard way with the shotgun trap lol

Ive killed tagilla but the killa just runs in and one taps me

[carmine lantern]

have to be ready for him, he spawns in as soon as tagilla dies and then moves toward his last location/person who killed him

[spark zodiac]

yah

hi me

[carmine lantern]

hi me

whats up

[sharp bluff]

dude wtf, im entering streets, doesnt load, drops me out of the game, try to reconnected, lost connection with server and then it kills me and I lose everything

[carmine lantern]

probably got killed by a scav or sniper, insurance will give it back

[sharp bluff]

and when is the game stop forcing me to use nikita's voice?

[carmine lantern]

happened to me a while ago on customs unfortunately

[still fulcrum]

you can change it

in settings

[sharp bluff]

yeah I can, for 2 raids, then it forces nikita's voice back

[still fulcrum]

you're forever nikita now

once nikita, always nikita

[candid tusk]

do the goons still rotate maps on pve or is it 30% flat chance now for customs etc?

[trim stump]

Why do PMC's not fucking spawn at dorms

or any of the places where you need to kill them

[carmine lantern]

because you're doing the quest

[carmine lantern]

it is debated but many people say that they do not rotate properly

and there is no real evidence that they are rotating due to the amount of people constantly killing them on customs, that sort of deal

[candid tusk]

i just seen them on shoreline but bloody birdeye was dead so still need him but that was first time i seen them in 10/15 raids

[trim stump]

hate this game lol.

i need to kill pipe. hes also not spawning.

[still fulcrum]

Local raid bad

bsg server good

local raid they not go there often

bsg server yes do go

[trim stump]

im gonna give that a try

i have before.

[idle summit]

woah since when can you sell/buy the rocket launcher on flea?

[night river]

Thats crazy

[carmine lantern]

you can only sell empty ones

[idle summit]

if only we could buy pipes GL

[carmine lantern]

from what I recall

[idle summit]

you right

wtf is the point of that

[carmine lantern]

they probably just didnt bother restricting it at the time and now its just a gimmick

since I dont believe theres a way to get the rocket ammo anywhere

[gusty whale]

Can get it through an exploit, but can't reload launcher anyways

Idk the exploit before you ask, just that it could be gotten

were there new ones recently?

[carmine lantern]

they were just for the tarkovtv and it seems they have expired

[molten dust]

RIP, thank you

[trim stump]

been running customs all morning and cant get pmcs at dorms or goons at fortress. or pmcs there either

they NEED to rework these quests

[molten dust]

my spawns were terrible earlier until I went BSG servers

[median frigate]

Bsg servers is the way

There even is i video about it from a Tarkov content creator but i forgot his name

[trim stump]

im on bsg

[carmine lantern]

its all anecdotal evidence that bsg servers change anything really

[median frigate]

Mighty unlucky then

Got pmcs at dorms every 5 raids on average
And goons at fortress or infustrial almost every second raid

[carmine lantern]

like with a lot of things in the game

[trim stump]

i dont think it does.

[trim stump]

im gonna run 2 more customs raids before i swap to arena cuz im getting mad pissed

[carmine lantern]

rng is just never on your side it seems like

[trim stump]

reshala has been at dorms the last 4 raids

[sonic wigeon]

I had the goons the previous round

and on my last run for the evil watchman as I was about to leave to extract, I saw birdeye just sitting on the middle wall outside dorms

killed all of them again XD

I didn't know they would just storm dorms

[median frigate]

Maybe they changed something again but if i go on bsg servers its parmesan chance down but gooner chance up

[trim stump]

if hes on secondstory i wont fight him and just leave. i dont need to kill him for his mid loot.

[nocturne matrix]

Does anyone know when PVE prestige will come to the game? Just finished Terminal on Savior ending on a PVE Solo run, wanted to see if it would be there now before resetting to try another ending. 😄

[molten dust]

Im happy to load into Customs with you, I get Goons almost every raid. GimmeGoop

[carmine lantern]

it will probably be q3

[trim stump]

i just need to kill pipe.

[carmine lantern]

so do not expect it for several more months

[nocturne matrix]

daaaang. Oh well. Thanks for the heads up 🙂 At least I can do other stuff in the meantime. 😄

[trim stump]

what vc ya wanna go to

im in43 duo

[molten dust]

Just pick one and Ill join you

[sly sorrel]

does anyone know when that new big update is supposed to come out?

[carmine lantern]

may

[violet plaza]

have y'all seen the goons on any specific map?

[plush panther]

30% chance on any map, they don't rotate, and you can pterry much only find them on bsg servers bc they almost never spawn on local

[sonic wigeon]

I had goons on customs twice but as the guy just said its now a fixed % of spawn instead of rotating

[sand cosmos]

they do rotate

even in local

[fallen mason]

Not anymore they don't.

[sand cosmos]

since when?

[fallen mason]

Since about 2-3 months ago.

[carmine lantern]

theres no 100% evidence that they do or dont but many people have seen them on different maps at the same time

[sand cosmos]

local has its on cycle

[carmine lantern]

in pve, on local and bsg

there is also no 100% evidence that there are any form or reduced spawn rates on local for anything

partisan or goons

[sand cosmos]

if its not mentioned in a patchnote like the rotation add was, they still do rotate and its just speculation

[carmine lantern]

it is all anecdotal

and that isnt 100% fact, sometimes things are left out of patch notes

on accident or on purpose

like how overswing was removed from the game around a month ago

but was never in the patch notes

[fallen mason]

It's more than likely a bug and wasn't intended which is why it's not in the patch notes, but i can confirm personally they don't rotate. Not even on server.

[sand cosmos]

i doubt theyd roll back that rotation after basically just adding it

[plush panther]

no 100% evidence but I'd say 100+ raids with no goons is pretty convincing

[carmine lantern]

for you, yes

but for others they spawn fine on local

[sand cosmos]

that doesnt prove anything unfortunately

[carmine lantern]

like I said, its not 100% one way or another, rng is a bitch

but at least for rotating, one of the senior discord mods in this chat, butch, said that due to overwhelming evidence, they do not rotate anymore

[vapid cape]

I love on the announcement they said Glukhar ran back to Reserve, like the brave little girl she is 🥲

[fallen mason]

I know we're not supposed to mention 3rd party websites, but look at both PvE and PvP on the goon tracker. They're both all over the place with reports. Too many to just be people trolling.

[idle summit]

its usually reliable ^

[sand cosmos]

yeah for pve no, trackers never are accurate

[idle summit]

in my experience they were

[carmine lantern]

in essence, make your own opinion on the matter, there is no 100%

try local or bsg, try whatever map you feel comfortable with

the goons will appear at some point no matter what you do

[vapid cape]

Glukhar really is a bigger pussy than Reshala 😂

[sand cosmos]

yeah im not srguing that, but trackers are juat full of bs for pve

[fallen mason]

PvP is just as sporadic with clusters of one map, then another, and then another.

When they're supposed to be on a map for 5-6 hours at a time.

[sand cosmos]

the point was, pe players also play on local. pvp players dont

[sonic wigeon]

I've seen people spam report goons on customs even before the queue match time fix broke the goons

[sand cosmos]

so local people report seeings like idiots

[idle summit]

back when i was very active like in Feb, they were very accurate, many players reporting the same, can't speak for now

[fallen mason]

I play on server.

[carmine lantern]

most of those 'trackers' dont need any sort of proof like a screenshot, they are not very reliable overall

[sand cosmos]

congrats, you do.

doesnt mean everyone does

and they report OFFLINE RAIDS to the tracker

= nit accurate

[idle summit]

ya offline is a whole different beast lol

[fallen mason]

Hell even the mods have said they don't rotate anymore. Butch mentioned it about two weeks ago.

[carmine lantern]

to be fair, there is nothing to say that local is different from bsg even when it came to goon rotations

[sonic wigeon]

saved my gpu when my wifi died earlier on interchange, unless I know the map is bad for my pc in local I always try to run local

by the way

[sand cosmos]

there was, when the rotstion got added to local

[sonic wigeon]

what should I put

in my kappa

[sand cosmos]

back when i played pve

[sonic wigeon]

like

[carmine lantern]

though also, the main wiki mod said that there is no confirmation

one way or the other

so, everything is just anecdotal at the end of the day

[sonic wigeon]

rn I am using a docs case, SICC case, 2 injector cases, and a ibuprofen

[carmine lantern]

we be profen

and that is what I use, minus the ibuprofen

I have a tig splint instead

[sonic wigeon]

I use ibuprofen to like let me run if they black my leg

[carmine lantern]

and then 5 open slots for whatever I feel like

[sonic wigeon]

way too many cases for me

[sand cosmos]

if u have 2 injectors. u do not need ibu bro

[sonic wigeon]

I pop it before a fight I know is dangerous

[carmine lantern]

just use prop

[sonic wigeon]

like boss fights or just open area

[carmine lantern]

my 1 injector case has 3x prop, 3x etg, 3x blue blood

2nd is empty for whatever I pick up in labs

then I have 5 empty spots for whatever

[slender lantern]

is lightkeeper needed for ice breaker?

[fallen mason]

I have two injectors cases. One with 3x prop, 3x SJ6, and 3x ETG. Then the other has 3 x zagustin and then 2 of each of prop, sj6, and etg.

[carmine lantern]

lighthouse access will be, 99.9%

who knows about lightkeeper himself

[sand cosmos]

i just had food, drink, 2 injector, sicc, splint in kappa

[carmine lantern]

no details have been fully revealed so we do not even know 100% if it will be on lighthouse

[sonic wigeon]

I don't take too much food unless I aim to camp the map for long enough

[sand cosmos]

not cause of that

[sonic wigeon]

maybe water to aleviate the ibu pop

[sand cosmos]

i juat have good water and iskra in kappa

so i dont have to eorry about it and never carried a bag

[sonic wigeon]

no I wasn't taking a shot at you, that's just why I won't take food in it

[fallen mason]

I don't take food at all.

[sand cosmos]

no ik

[sonic wigeon]

And even if I do I am bringing ewr and tarker

I have shitton of tarker, and ewr is easy to make*

[carmine lantern]

I just have an ewr in my backpack most of the time

[fallen mason]

Before max immunity I would just take a pack of milk.

[carmine lantern]

just in case ive been stimmed up and my hydration gets low

but my current ewr has lasted me like 15 maps so far

[sand cosmos]

most of the time i just used sj12 tbh

since its pve and it doesnt mattwr what u use

[sonic wigeon]

and also since that set (tarker/ewr) will only take 2 spaces

i wouldn't need to waste too much space

[open delta]

I love gold ship!!!

[sonic wigeon]

ewr only gives 80 but most of the time that's enough to make it out the map

[carmine lantern]

golshi

[sand cosmos]

i like using bottle to drink specific amounts

• its infinite

[sonic wigeon]

the water bottle

I have the loot goober mentality tho so I have like

15ish water bottles in my stash

[sand cosmos]

u only need 2 basically ever

[sonic wigeon]

I have stopped picking up food recently tho cause ofc I have too much

[sand cosmos]

1 with you, 1 refilling

infinite water

[toxic patio]

[vapid cape]

Wow Glukhar has become so easy now

What has Nikita done with Glukhar, he used to have balls now he has a vagina

[stone goblet]

or have you become goated?

[vapid cape]

That is possible

[idle summit]

reshala was an easy taperooni

[vapid cape]

Only 2 kills left and that's that achievement done, then I need 8 on Partisan

[vapid cape]

Nah Glukhar ran away 😄

That is not allowed

[idle summit]

314 key is GOATED

[slender lantern]

whats the hardest ending? and whats the best?

[vapid cape]

Quickest is Debtor

Hardest probaly saviour

[slender lantern]

longest?

isent savior the best?

""

[vapid cape]

Best but longest to get

[slender lantern]

gotcha

[vapid cape]

500m roubles being 1 thing

[slender lantern]

ya that hurts

[vapid cape]

If you wanna get out easy go debtor, it's easy to get keycards fast

Just go to LK

Saviour you gotta craft

5 hours each

[slender lantern]

nah i wanna get savior done while waiting for prestige

get the hard one out of the way

[idle summit]

i still haven't escaped..

[slender lantern]

how to check btr rep?

[marble bronze]

Can't

[idle summit]

been trying since march lol

[slender lantern]

how do i get the btr quest "the price of independce"?

[marble bronze]

Last quest for BTR

On his side

[slender lantern]

oh damn, how do i get his quest chain?

other than the stupid woods ones

[marble bronze]

Wiki is your friend

Starts at Prapor

[vapid cape]

Think I broke Glukhar, he ain't spawning now 😂

[stone onyx]

So I never bothered to try but... does Thermals even work on Cultists?

I know ages ago it was hard to see them with Thermals but unsure if they changed it since.

[valid folio]

i dont think thermals work on them

[lilac shadow]

They dont work on cultists

[marble bronze]

They kinda work, but not well

[raw nest]

Progress the questline

[marble bronze]

You have to look close

[lilac shadow]

The only change they made to cultists was to make their footsteps a bit louder

[vapid cape]

Anyone know how to spawn Partizan, last time I saw him in raid, he was outside Crackhouse and Pillagers got him

[marble bronze]

Get lucky

That's it

[vapid cape]

Not seen him since, hadn't seen him for months before

[lilac shadow]

For me he likes to lurk near dorms on customs

[raw nest]

You can’t

[vapid cape]

I heard PmC Karma is a thing and you have to have shit karma for him to spawn

[raw nest]

Not a thing in pve

[marble bronze]

I went ~700 raids in 1.0 before seeing him

[fallen mason]

Only in PvP.

[marble bronze]

That's not a thing in PvE

[vapid cape]

Fuck sake

[lilac shadow]

Its pure RNG in PVE

[stone onyx]

Partisan I think is just.. rare to spawn and he also just.. sometimes likes to stalk specific areas.

[fallen mason]

Do you play on local or server?

[vapid cape]

I killed him 8 times, I need him to spawn more, he was constantly in games at the start of wipe

[raw nest]

Doesn’t matter

[vapid cape]

I been mixing both but mostly on server

[lilac shadow]

Yeah I think they did drop the rate of him spawning. He was a mainstay a while ago

[fallen mason]

Yeah I've personally never seen him on server. I only ever got him on local when I would play local.

[lilac shadow]

He spawns more frequently for me on local

[raw nest]

No

[carmine lantern]

he spawns when he feels like it

he has a lower chance to spawn, from what I recall, than cultists do

so, you see people hunting cultists for hours and hours and hours w nothing

imagine that but less

its like 20% I think?

[distant obsidian]

15

[carmine lantern]

just tarkov rng

[open delta]

I got partisan awhile back, absolute noob

[ruby cliff]

do u think its a smart idea to reset my profile so soon before icebreaker?

[vapid cape]

I've had games where they are 10 games in a row, but when I need Broadcast 5 the fuckers vanish like a fart in the night

[lilac shadow]

Any reason for reset or just to do it?

[vapid cape]

Wait for Prestige

[lilac shadow]

Hes gonna be waiting a while

[carmine lantern]

I mean if you want to reset, why not, icebreaker will always be there, but there isnt a 'reason' to reset unless you really want to do another ending before prestige, which is several months from now at the earliest

[vapid cape]

September October maybe

If Nikita feels nice

[raw nest]

If you did not reset before 1.0 then might be high time

[vapid cape]

[carmine lantern]

or yea, if you have not reset before 1.0, its a good time, might as well rip off the bandaid now

[ruby cliff]

back when 1.0 released i played upto terminal but didnt do it, kinda cant be fucked to do it now and since prestige is at least 6 months down the road i figured why not have fun with good quests again as opposed to bashing my head against terminal and grinding the endgame quests which i think are just bad

[sharp cairn]

what when he decides to add prestige to pve?

[carmine lantern]

yes

[ruby cliff]

but i guess i have 1 question: if i do an ending now and reset, is that ending/achievments also reset?

[raw nest]

No

[vapid cape]

Well someone asked about it back in January, he said it's in the works, then we got a survey recently about it, so my guess is that it will be in the game by december

2035

[sharp cairn]

so will i need to reset my account when pve is added or can i go ahead and prep it for level 1?

[open delta]

You keep the ending rewards I believe

[carmine lantern]

do people not watch the livestreams/recaps at all

[sharp cairn]

nah 2040

[sharp cairn]

no

[distant obsidian]

Will kinda miss the event lead up to ice breaker starting possibly this or next week

[carmine lantern]

just like a week ago he said it would be around q3

[vapid cape]

I mean if we get it before 2050 I'll be surprised

[ruby cliff]

wait for real? can someone confirm this? if so ill do terminal since im already at it with saviour ending

[lilac shadow]

Hes off to work on escape from spacekov so it'll get added whenever

[sharp cairn]

we'd be lucky if our grandkids see ts

[vapid cape]

Yes but he didn't say which year

[carmine lantern]

he did

[vapid cape]

Well at least our great grankids will

[open delta]

Are you gonna reset or prestige?

[raw nest]

You keep the achievement

[ruby cliff]

reset since there is no prestige in pve

[carmine lantern]

yes, it is confirmed by several people

[distant obsidian]

PvE prestige will be with season 2 of tarkov and scav life dlc

[vapid cape]

All endings are saved for prestige so you can keep doing endings

[distant obsidian]

All q3

[vapid cape]

Fuck stop teasing scav life, I want it so badly

[carmine lantern]

its how a few people have already done all the endings on pve, they just reset several times and speedran them

[distant obsidian]

I'm not teasing it

[sharp cairn]

scav life?

[distant obsidian]

It's coming

[vapid cape]

I want to be a boss in Tarkov and I want to then load into my PmC and fight my boss self

[distant obsidian]

Yes, two DLCs this year. Scav life and clans

[ruby cliff]

ok ill do terminal then and reset after

[open delta]

Scav life fr

[vapid cape]

🙁

[carmine lantern]

makes your scav more like a pmc, gives quests, its own hideout, preset kits, etc

[distant obsidian]

We know very little actual details about scav life

Just snips if things

[vapid cape]

Scav life is not part of Unheard edition, please pay $49.99 and $79.99 tax for this DLC

[distant obsidian]

Ah. No

It's dlc

[fallen mason]

For real.

[sharp cairn]

oh thats cool i love that. i once saw someone say that they wished your scav would walk around your hideout like a pet and i always liked that idea

[vapid cape]

Yeah we gotta buy that shit

[distant obsidian]

Its listed as dlc

[lilac shadow]

You'll be able to.play as a scav boss

[distant obsidian]

It's dlc

[fallen mason]

Inb4 "It's not DLC. It's an expansion."

[open delta]

Nikita said for PvE

[carmine lantern]

they said several times that its dlc in the recent livestream

[distant obsidian]

It's been called DLc already

Ffs people are so dumb

[carmine lantern]

along with clans

[raw nest]

That

[distant obsidian]

I don't care for scav life. What I care more about is all the EOD and unheard cry babies shutting the fuck up when we finally get dlc

[vapid cape]

Scav life is only available if you buy our new Unseen Edition, and if you want 4x2 pocket slots, buy our Unspoken edition.

Coming soon to a retailer near you

[fallen mason]

Joking about how greedy Nikita is or has been in the past = we're dumb.

[distant obsidian]

No

Fuck man. Smarten up

[lilac shadow]

Edge of darkness gang

[vapid cape]

Nikita is going to do to us again what Reshala did to Glukhar

Bum love

[ruby cliff]

also another q: i can do terminal with 3ppl now and all can extract right?

[distant obsidian]

Can't wait for scav life to shut you ignorant people up. Good lord you so annoying

[carmine lantern]

its just annoying to continue to joke about it every single time this shows up for months and months and years, the same singular joke and thats it

[distant obsidian]

Yes

[ruby cliff]

ty

[vapid cape]

Well if we can get it soon and prestige then we will shut up

[carmine lantern]

we get it, bsg bad, nikita bad

You could buy him dinner then gargle his balls and he'll still charge you for Scav Life.

[vapid cape]

Define good

[sharp cairn]

lmao

[vapid cape]

Pretty much 😄

[lilac shadow]

Depends. Its the same as PVP

[open delta]

For how long?

[deep pewter]

how rare are marked keys for yall to find in raid for pve? since it has increased probablity

[vapid cape]

Sometimes you might get toilet roll in the air drops, sometimes you might get a labrys notes, it depends

[lilac shadow]

I meant the loot quality

[carmine lantern]

it is extremely rng, which is how tarkov is in general, but airdrops even more so lol

dont expect them to be good

but sometimes you can get good stuff

[vapid cape]

Not that hard, we got a RB-VO and a 314 in 1 cultist earlier

[carmine lantern]

its basically like opening up a bunch of duffle bags/weapon crates at once

[deep pewter]

ohhh that makes sense how i should hunt cultists to find em

[vapid cape]

Next time we got a dorms 213

[vapid cape]

Carefully

[lilac shadow]

I stacked a key case full of marked keys when they did that cultists event a little while ago

[vapid cape]

If you see a black cloak running at you, just curl up in a ball and cry

[deep pewter]

ppsh and a dream 🥀

[vapid cape]

Nah priest naded himself outside crackhouse the other day, heard running, heard nade, heard a thud, went out and saw him folded like a deck chair, I am so glad I have that recorded 😂

[sharp cairn]

mag dump

[lilac shadow]

Priests commit suicide if all the sektants are killed

[vapid cape]

Nothing worse than turning around wearing NVG's and seeing glowing white eyes coming at you with a knife

[vapid cape]

[vapid cape]

LOOOOL

Sometimes I seen him still up running around

But would be hilarious if everytime you killed his fuck buddies he naded himself

[carmine lantern]

first time I saw a priest in factory he blew himself up with an impact grenade by throwing it at a wall next to him

they are a death cult for sure

[lilac shadow]

Yeah the priests are coded to self nade

[sharp cairn]

oh yea why have they dropped all these events recently? they been dropping them back to back

[astral kindle]

Give players something to do

[slender lantern]

ice breaker prep

[vapid cape]

The funniest one was when a friend of mine was on broadcast 5 and I was on the quest to kill 2 of them, and I saw priest and killed him and my friend ran to his body to try and loot him before me (he was pissed I killed priest, so he was salty to run over and grab the loot) and priest had dropped a nade.

I watched my team mate drop faster than a $2 crack hoe and I walked over slowly and grabbed a dorm key off the body 😂

[sharp cairn]

im sorry i dont watch the recaps like i should but whats ice breaker?

[carmine lantern]

new big boat map

[sharp cairn]

oh wait

the cargo ship

[carmine lantern]

literally an icebreaker

[sharp cairn]

yea ok ik what yall are talkin about

[lilac shadow]

An ice breaker map with a new boss and some new game mechanics

[carmine lantern]

ya its been teased a lot but its almost here at least

[vapid cape]

And all I heard on Discord was him raging then he rage quit 😂

[carmine lantern]

and from prev nikita talks its meant to be more like labrys, so a 1-4 player 'pve' experience

[sharp cairn]

Q4 im assuming?

[carmine lantern]

or terminal-like

no, this month

[sharp cairn]

ohhh shit okay

[young frost]

lol. nice

[carmine lantern]

will likely be a transit from lighthouse

[sharp cairn]

i dont blame the guy

[open delta]

He seems to be into a lot of transit only locations

[vapid cape]

Karma is a helen hunt 😄

[sharp cairn]

i did see where they're wanting to rework lighthouse

[lilac shadow]

Ugh please not another transit

[sharp cairn]

you WILL be transiting

[lilac shadow]

Yes nikkita

[carmine lantern]

yea, the rework will probably be in I think june/july? for lighthouse, so dont expect it right away

[young frost]

and you VILL enjoy it

[sharp cairn]

lmao

[carmine lantern]

[vapid cape]

He got so mad 😂

Like I didn't mind he could have had the kill but I saw him, I ain't dancing around and guiding him on where priest is like I'm guiding a blind guy through a minefield, like he had a gun, I had a gun, I'm shooting first.

But TM got salty and then proceeded to go rob my loot and failed 😂

[young frost]

i fear what they may do to lighthouse

[sharp cairn]

either about to be really good or really bad

[lilac shadow]

Thats what makes labrys such a bitch. Walk allllll the way to the middle, sometimes encounter sanitar and his band of crackheads and then die to a tripwire

[idle summit]

goons just snuck up on me in customs

[vapid cape]

All I heard was "YOU KNEW I NEEDED THE KILL"

Thud

Disconnect

[sharp cairn]

the gooners got em

[vapid cape]

😂

[carmine lantern]

they did at least say that they know lighthouse is the most hated map, so they know how it is

they cant make it much worse, according to the playerbase

at least in theory

[sharp cairn]

the map worked weird in pvp and it works even weirder in pve

[young frost]

ok except woods is the most hated

[sharp cairn]

hot take- i dont really mind woods

[young frost]

my hatred of woods outweighs your indifference

[sharp cairn]

fair enough

[livid oxide]

woods slander smh

[sharp cairn]

i do see where youre coming from though getting shot from god knows where is aggarvating

[idle summit]

Nothing is worse than lighthouse

[young frost]

its only slander if its not true

[carmine lantern]

since I dont play pvp I dont have any problem with lighthouse, at least lighthouse has some action, woods doesnt have jack shit lmao

[idle summit]

i love going into the mountain stash and just coming out to 3 tripwires

[carmine lantern]

everything is so spread out and it feels like most of the time, barely any scavs or pmc's spawn in

[sharp cairn]

wood to me is just enjoy the scenry simulator i dont get too much action besides lumber

[carmine lantern]

if they doubled the scav population or something id enjoy it a bit more

[young frost]

lighthouse trolls hard with the spawns. like if all u wanna do is see lightkeeper it puts u at the lakes every time

[carmine lantern]

or added some more underground bunkers and stuff

tbh im not a big fan of the whole lightkeeper system, mainly because since he's 'in person' most of his quests barely seem to reward anything useful

would be great if you could contact him outside of needing to go into the map every time, especially since most of his quests are timegated on top of that

like he gives you a nokia phone or something

[young frost]

lowkirkenly worth it tho for the spear

[livid oxide]

wish lighthouse was an actual trader and had high end stuff to buy or barter

you can get spears at labs

or kiba

[young frost]

the time gates suck tho n make me wanna throw that old man off the balcony onto the jagged rocks below

[carmine lantern]

I can imagine on pvp its a bit better to get that good proper spear ammo

but on pve ive done so much ammo farming I have so much hybrid ammo for it

I got my spear up to lvl 3 ages ago and I still have 1.5k sig hybrid

[young frost]

i was all stoked to start his quests like a million years ago to have a bunch of hybrid for killa hunting

wound up getting like the last 70 kills before finishing return the favor

[carmine lantern]

all I can hope for is them talking about rebalancing/redoing side quests also includes those types of quests

the 10 hour timegates are pointless, return the favor is probably the most hated pve quest outside of the stronghold ones

[young frost]

i dont mind outposts sucking cus idc about the ammo

[willow tinsel]

For too long has those 2 quests made ppl cry bloodied tears and shat themselves while sobbing their snot over these quests, I agree, change it so we stop hearing "i ran this map 575^2 times, i can't find pmcs"

[carmine lantern]

just make it count any target and like quadruple the requirements

which should really be for any quest on pve at least, in my lukewarm take

[icy rock]

What did yall do for setup

[distant obsidian]

kills with the right gun

[still nest]

Mp18 would probably make it trivial on PvE

[idle summit]

found 2 rusted bloody keys in 3 raids

[carmine lantern]

mp18 is probably the best choice overall

at least when I did it, I just went with the mp-153 w piranha and camped out at the industrial warehouse in the middle of the map

[icy rock]

But like I can’t find them when I try to but when I don’t wanna see them I do

[distant obsidian]

I just shift W gun fights and killed them

[carmine lantern]

just have to follow the pmc spawn points, same as yours, they will gravitate normally toward new gas, industrial warehouse, dorms, and the general streets

[distant obsidian]

not hard

[carmine lantern]

or things like warehouse 6 on the left side by those big silos

[icy rock]

To me it is

[carmine lantern]

well, warehouse 6..or warehouse 7

[vale atlas]

Average tarkov luck lol

[icy rock]

I avoid pmcs due to my severe skill issue

[vale atlas]

You never get what you want when you need it lol

[stone goblet]

I haven't seen any discord pvp in here in a while

Good job guys

[vale atlas]

I can fix that, new prestige is good

[distant obsidian]

ive been busy

[carmine lantern]

when you do this quest, they will be afraid of you, just up your confidence

[willow tinsel]

Thanks Butch, atleast you noticed

[icy rock]

They should add cross prestige program

[stone goblet]

Very bad bait

[icy rock]

So prestrige in pve you also get it in PvP

[distant obsidian]

terrible bait

[idle summit]

not a single marked key from rusted bloody key

[distant obsidian]

normal

[stone goblet]

Average bloody key

[idle summit]

i got camped on by a PMC

[carmine lantern]

that was me

[icy rock]

U sure you weren’t in a group???

[lilac shadow]

Rusted bloody key is less juiced now that the key itself is more common

[rain lake]

Anyone have advice for secured peremiter?

I runed 20 raid without single pmc in office area

Only 13 times tagilla

[lilac shadow]

You have to bait the pmcs into that area. Also dont forget the basement counts too

[rain lake]

I was shooting

Loud gun

Only tagilla came few times

And once they were standing just outside but didn't want to come in

[lofty laurel]

headed across the map to extract from customs and run into the goons... FINALLY kill all 3 in ONE raid ... and MIA

[vernal spindle]

The ak-50 is so much fun

[distant obsidian]

meh

I like my bolt 338

waiting for the tac50

[lilac shadow]

You have to engage them and then run away, then engage again and again until they get to the area. Its gas station nacho levels of cheese

[marble bronze]

Bring a friend so you're playing on BSG, then wait in your spawn for about a minute. Then rush office, clear it, and reset.

Baiting is inconsistent at best

[lofty laurel]

im so damn mad... soo much loot i could have had from goons first time FULL killing all 3 and couldnt get out... well ill be back i guess

gonna go get them again

[still fulcrum]

[rain lake]

Good idea

[deep pewter]

do cultists yell if i throw a flash or grenade?

[vernal spindle]

Can u insure thermals again?

[carmine lantern]

they whisper, dont think they yell at all, and dont think you can insure thermals, only nvg

[icy rock]

At least not t-7s

I tried to insure the t-12 and it didn’t work but that was a week ago

[vernal spindle]

Hmmm

[icy rock]

Why are u asking tho

[fallen mason]

My mans just trying to insure his t-7s.

[vernal spindle]

Because i have like 6 reapir scopes and never use em

[icy rock]

Check DMs

[distant obsidian]

reaps are cheap

who cares if you use and die with them lol

[astral kindle]

Thats because this is PvE chat and not PvP :^)

[marble bronze]

It's worked well for me every time.

[stone goblet]

pve chat has the highest rate of discord pvp than anywhere else
