pve-chat

[lime mauve]

Or so the devs said

[proud wave]

I think it might be, I seen it often lol.

[vale atlas]

Oooh, maybe i'll actively put some effort in when arma 4 drops

I will get around to playing one of the armas properly, i swear

[lime mauve]

I love when scavs flip me off the moment I slam 3 rounds of m80 into their chest

Like SHOOT BACK YOU BRAINDEAD FUCK

[proud wave]

This customs event have me sweating lmfao

[icy rock]

I love when I throw a impact gernade straight at a scav who flipped me off

[lime mauve]

It's over though

[proud wave]

Awh 🙁

[odd gale]

The blue folders he wants for Ticket do they need to be FIR?

[lime mauve]

"here Ivan hold this potato"
" 🖕"
boom

[lime mauve]

I don't think so

If they do though you can craft them. Probably doesn't cost much if you have more money to burn than I do

You HAVE to have a free special slot when you go to do the barter though

[livid oxide]

how broke are you

[lime mauve]

Currently hovering around 2-5m roubles

Down from about 30-40m 😂

[pseudo kayak]

jumpscared by goons first thing is crazy

when i decide to bring the ak50 💀

[thick jacinth]

Anyone know how to get partisan to spawn? I’m doing the snowball achievement and he is the only one Im missing

[pseudo kayak]

uh run customs over n over and sit at big red/dorms

[errant estuary]

yeah just sitting around

[vale atlas]

Exist and dont actively want him to be nearby. He'll find you

[errant estuary]

have an important item

[thick jacinth]

Fahhhhh

[errant estuary]

Got Big Pipe then got Knight'd lol

[errant estuary]

im missing i think 2 items for collecor the glasses and antique axe

[past niche]

big sad

Dude they're annoying when you don't have great ammo lol

[fickle cedar]

I just leave matches at this point.

[errant estuary]

i mean just do what i do be working on setup and wipe em 3 times in a row with buckshot just headshot em

[past niche]

Big dog type shit

[tranquil fiber]

Anyone else having long load times?

[lilac shadow]

Glasses spawn on scavs and Raiders. Axe can be found in marked rooms and in scavs rarely

[tulip citrus]

should i keep this comm 3 backpack

shit only has 14 slots and it's big asf

[lilac shadow]

Its needed for a quest for ragman way down the road

So if you have the space, yeah

[restive jewel]

i did then my game crashed twice n i lost my kit

[stone harbor]

you on local or BSG server?

[tulip citrus]

js checked out, 3 items of those quests come from the goons

[restive jewel]

bsg

[tulip citrus]

i'll js sell the comm3

plus the quest isn't even kappa required

[stone harbor]

damn such a shame, that is surely a lost kit

[pseudo kayak]

time to use the saiga rl in pve!!!!!

[restive jewel]

yep

[stone harbor]

you use a real life saiga in pve?

[cold ivy]

guy must go through alot of monitors

[tranquil fiber]

mine wont even get past the main menu

[restive jewel]

man is the servers going down

[abstract sleet]

yep

[vale atlas]

people in eft chat complaining too its likely buggered

[restive jewel]

man i lost my kit cause of servers imma cry now

[vale atlas]

usually when the servers crap out you just have what you went in with on loading up again

Sometimes you'll have your kit AND the stuff you'd already looted but thats rarer

[lilac shadow]

Might be cloudflare acting up again

[abstract sleet]

im in on NA

[frank drum]

whats best way to get a cultist priest atm

[abstract sleet]

customs or woods

[cold ivy]

customs, rush the fort, do a lap around it and the buildings near it, green flair, repeat

[restive jewel]

once goons are off the map lol

[pseudo kayak]

now i got kappa again so

please icebreaker release

[carmine lantern]

now you can play the game

[proud wave]

Icebreaker looks noice

I heard Breakout arena is getting a PvE Mode too so im excited for that.

[livid oxide]

Good ol breakout arena

[proud wave]

I'm kinda intrested in trying/playing it aswell since acr raiders didn't wanna add a Pve moede

[stone harbor]

oh really? oh fuck if there is a PvE version of it, imma absolutely try it

[proud wave]

'You want the video explaning?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-BRYBV57kPI

[stone harbor]

thanks brother

[livid oxide]

I barely get shot at by players in arc

[young frost]

no. if u bring something in it stops being found in raid

[stone harbor]

you are blessed, and I'm not

[proud wave]

Ronald, I love ya buddy, But i don't belive ya as far as i can throw ya on that one.

[stone harbor]

I got the usual PvP treatment, betrayers, rats, ambushers, trollers, etc.

[proud wave]

Are you the Rat? lmfao

[livid oxide]

I don't shoot back so i don't get matched into PvP servers

Just let them kill me

90% of the time i see someone they don't shoot

[stone harbor]

is this a thing? really? you dont kill and the game shift you into a PvE server? no way

[livid oxide]

They even drop me loot or revive me

[livid oxide]

Aggression based matchmaking

[proud wave]

I know right?

I heard the playerbase took a massvie hit recently tho

[livid oxide]

Still like 100k

[proud wave]

Oh?

[livid oxide]

Chill game. I play on my steam deck

I like it

[stone harbor]

so instead of trying to fight back to preserve my hard-earned loots, I just have to let them kill me and hope that I can get a slot in a PvE dedicated server???

[proud wave]

Pretty much.

[stone harbor]

I never shoot first, since I do not like to be an aggressor

[odd gale]

okay

[proud wave]

Idk i just didn't wanna chance it

[livid oxide]

If you shoot back it considers you an aggressor

[split osprey]

anyone found a fix for the pve not working bug

[stone harbor]

now this is stupid

[livid oxide]

Yep

[split osprey]

my friend bought pve and it says to buy it, but when he goes to buy it its purchased already. we've tried just about everything

[stone harbor]

I'm glad that game got the shit it deserved

[livid oxide]

Most of the raiders I run into are super friendly and always say hi

[stone harbor]

are you on Steam or BSG?

[split osprey]

my friend was on steam first then we refunded and went to bsg

same bug both times

[livid oxide]

Is there an advantage to buying on steam since you still have to launch the launcher

[sage marsh]

Steam is just a scam

[split osprey]

the advantage is you can refund it within 2 hours, just dont buy tarkov dlc on steam

[odd gale]

I didn't buy tarkov on steam

I won it from a code giveaway

[sage marsh]

Youll still get xsolla banned this way

[stone harbor]

I'm on Steam, and I'm happy for it

[livid oxide]

We got a steamer

A Cleveland steamer

[stone harbor]

cause Steam saved me lots of money for the base game

[sage marsh]

Tarkov should have never released on Steam

Its caused nothing but issues

[livid oxide]

I bought a new account when unheard came out

True believer

[carmine lantern]

I have tarkov on steam and its been just fine

[split osprey]

I havent got any answer, does anyone know of a fix for the pve bug

[stone harbor]

I have no issue whatsoever.. except that 1 thing called DLC upgrade, this is shit

[split osprey]

it says to purchase pve and he already got it

[livid oxide]

Open a ticket

[sage marsh]

Purchases are borked atm..make a support ticket

[stone harbor]

this is BSG problem, not steam

[split osprey]

on eft website or here in discord

[sage marsh]

Website

[stone harbor]

but you can still contact Steam support

[sage marsh]

Discord tickets arent helpful as devs arent here

[stone harbor]

they are much more responsive than BSG support

[sage marsh]

I think that if you refund a game within the 2 hour window..you shouldnt be allowed to purchase it again or leave a review

[distant obsidian]

releasing on steam was a great thing and needed to be done. Need to expose the game to more people. That being said I do not recommend people buy it on steam

adding an extra step for nothing

[stone harbor]

I understand the review part but why you shouldnt be allowed to purchase it again?

[stone harbor]

hey, I got great pricing on that game

[distant obsidian]

you can to on the website

better if anything because all of the website sales go to bsg

[stone harbor]

like half of the price on the BSG website

[distant obsidian]

not steam taking a cut

[stone harbor]

Steam got the regional pricing so yeah, at that cheap price, I immediately get the standard version of it hehe

[livid oxide]

Unheard gang

[distant obsidian]

yep

[stone harbor]

I paid for extra Stash line (5 lines) on BSG website during sale and it already coststhe the same as BSG website's standard game version

[livid oxide]

Can't wait to wear bear gear as a usec

[distant obsidian]

base game is dirt cheap

[stone harbor]

so for ppl like me, Steam is a win

[distant obsidian]

should be this month

could be this week

[vapid wraith]

Are the servers really bad today?

[distant obsidian]

servers have been fine today

[vernal meteor]

losing my mind trying to do pest control

i cant seem to get any scavs to come into barracks

[distant obsidian]

open bk

scav swarm

[vernal meteor]

no shot that works

[distant obsidian]

why not

I have to kill one or two generally when I open it

place is swarmed by scav though to

[vernal meteor]

does underground even count for barracks??

[distant obsidian]

unerground? Its still the baracks lol

[vernal meteor]

oh FUCK im an idiot

[distant obsidian]

its just a basement

tunnels dont though

[odd gale]

Donut

[stone harbor]

Tyr got a compliment, so rare

called a genius, an even rare one at that

[proud wave]

How many quests are there in this game?

It feels like a bilzzaion

[distant obsidian]

As of the 0.15.0.0 patch in 2025/2026, there are over 490 tasks (quests) in Escape from Tarkov

[proud wave]

God fucking damn it.

[distant obsidian]

why

[jolly nimbus]

You WILL slave away at collection tasks no matter how hard you try

💔

Me when…

15 cans of food…

[proud wave]

[jolly nimbus]

[proud wave]

[jolly nimbus]

Yeah

It’s a experience

Fun to collect them all though

Satisfying as all hell to do so

[proud wave]

i guess ill just take a task at a time then

Slowly make my way trougfh the game then lol

[lilac shadow]

Fuck the game kicks right of with find 3 salewas

[proud wave]

you aint wrong

[dreamy mantle]

lol

[lilac shadow]

Also I have a schizo theory that the game is coded to know when you're looking for X item and it reduces its frequency in spawning

[proud wave]

Then i guess we all schizo lmfao

[distant obsidian]

i dont think so

never really had that my self

[proud wave]

You don't count.

[distant obsidian]

I know where to look for things

[jovial cobalt]

where does rshg2 spawn

[distant obsidian]

on your trader

[jovial cobalt]

wait i have a better one

where does scav fanny pack spawn

[pseudo kayak]

need

icebreaker

[sage marsh]

on the floor somewhere

[pseudo kayak]

i got kappa

i need icebreaker

[lilac shadow]

Giving tree

[distant obsidian]

giving tree. or used to

[pseudo kayak]

time to get my kappa skinned!!!

[distant obsidian]

i dont think you can gert it now

[sage marsh]

is it just gone?

[lilac shadow]

Its just extremely rare to get it to drop plus you have to be in raid with no secure container, otherwise you cant take it

[distant obsidian]

dont think it spawns atm

[proud wave]

how long did that take you lmfao

[pseudo kayak]

idk i was slacking

way quicker than last wipe!

haahahhaa

wait it's just the kappa in the circle right

[lilac shadow]

Yeah for dessecrated?

[pseudo kayak]

yah

the bluey one

[distant obsidian]

mhm

[pseudo kayak]

oh 1 hour 5 minutes?

[lilac shadow]

Yep just kappa.

[pseudo kayak]

huh that's a lot shorter than i expected

[past niche]

Does the 314 marked key still spawn at the guard desk on customs

[distant obsidian]

yes

[lilac shadow]

[distant obsidian]

[past niche]

Lol

[distant obsidian]

[main eagle]

??event

[quasi apex]

There are no ongoing events.

[distant obsidian]

nien

hopefully the ice breaker lead up event this week

this or next

[proud wave]

only a few thousand rubles left but i blame that on the team kills i suffered from lol

[restive jewel]

the reason i play with only close friends

[stone harbor]

your friends are a total phenomenal buddies

[main eagle]

you want to run a few with me?

[proud wave]

Lmfao i love you all

[stone harbor]

yeah, close friends... they still hit my heads from time to time, at least 2~3 times per week, even with callout

[proud wave]

Nah these were stupid ass teamkills

[main eagle]

accurate

[proud wave]

Like blanat just shooting me for no reason cuse they suck ass

[restive jewel]

ive only been tked 1 time in 2 months

[stone harbor]

congrats, you got great buddies right there XD

[carmine lantern]

I think ive been tk'ed like twice ever but those have been my fault

I cant stand tk's or 'helmet checks' or 'leg checks' so I just do not play w people who do that, as a rule

im very no fun allowed

[restive jewel]

we all play the tactical games so we kinda went passed full tk thank you zombie games

[proud wave]

I wouldn't mind if you are NA

[main eagle]

yeah NAE

[stone harbor]

3 days ago, I was down to 50 HP thanks to a friend "surprise reflex" with a auto saiga in Factory dorm, as I said I'm coming down the stair and will meet him on his left. I arrived on his left and he just dump 5 rounds into me, instant 0 lv5 plates and 50 HP, 1 heavy bleeding

[jovial cobalt]

unless its a leg check in the extract with 0.5 seconds left

thats the only excusable time ig

[restive jewel]

man its been 24 hr no key to the tower quest

[proud wave]

Duo or trio?
We MIGHT get a weird third if we do.

[main eagle]

Duo results in the least amount of tk. im in vc #44 duo

[proud wave]

i was tk'ed in duos over and over again lmfao

[stone harbor]

why is this a thing??? wtf

helmet check???

[restive jewel]

never been helmet checked with ap 20????

[distant obsidian]

i dont play with those people either. SO dumb

[stone harbor]

I would not risk it if I can, so no, I ate M61 by the mouth but never an AP-20

[restive jewel]

be glad

[stone harbor]

it's great that I managed to kept my sanity with my lovable idiots

they are lovely ppl, but dumb af sometimes :v

[still fulcrum]

im 3 items away from kappa :D

mayo, poison and gingy

[analog topaz]

Nope. Don’t shoot friendlies period without consent.

[distant obsidian]

sounds like a good night

[marble badge]

Hey yall, do quest items not spawn on practice raids? Trying to scout out streets cause idk the map well but one of the quest items didnt show up in any of its spawns

[distant obsidian]

no

[marble badge]

Damn

I wanna try grouping up with someone but last time I tried my dog ass wifi booted me every 10 seconds 💀

[jovial cobalt]

what if its a flare gun

baton bonk to the knee

[analog topaz]

I don't find team damage funny because the few times people have done it to me, its never gone well and usually resulted in someone losing a kit

Like people "aiming for the knee" but blacking my thorax because I had taken damage that raid

[restive jewel]

man whenever im trying to quest these fucking goons are there

4 kits today to these people like let me find the usb hold for lighthouse

[vernal meteor]

best way to farm raiders on reserve?

[hollow sapphire]

go to bunker, check for raiders, activate lights and see if they spawn again and then extract through d2. you can also combine it with looting if you want

[toxic patio]

I leg check my friends for taking key loot

we have an established rule, it keeps the grubs from stealing

[hollow sapphire]

keep in mind, reserve raiders are kind of jacked, I'd wear a vest with neck protection and face protection too because they have a tendency to just kill you instantly with a lucky shot

[past niche]

So do we know what else is coming with Icebreaker other than the map?

[hollow sapphire]

in fact only time I've been eared was by raiders in reserve lol

anyway, which smg do people prefer out of these: p90, mp7 or vector

[past niche]

MP7 for me, but I haven't really messed with the P90.

[hollow sapphire]

p90 used to have that awful modifier in mags but now its fine in that regard too

[carmine lantern]

its the vector for me

[hollow sapphire]

biggest issue for p90 i guess is the sights

vector I havent yet tried tbh

[past niche]

I need to pull the vector out again

[carmine lantern]

especially since theres 2 vector variants

[past niche]

I'm too partial to mid range ars

[hollow sapphire]

the 9x19 vector?

i actually dont know which caliber is better lol

gotta be 9x19

[stone harbor]

for me, .45 ACP is better

Vector .45 ACP version

[hollow sapphire]

interesting, guess I gotta try both and see

[past niche]

Wait wtf theres 2 people in here named Rellinou

[hollow sapphire]

if .45 is better mid range, might want to use it myself instead

[young frost]

45 has poopmags

[past niche]

I definitely fell like .45 ACP would be better

[carmine lantern]

you must be getting tired

[past niche]

Prolly

[carmine lantern]

and I just rotate between both whenever I feel like it

I prefer the p90 because of stargate

but in game it just doesnt feel super great

[young frost]

mote like the pee90

[carmine lantern]

not many ammo types

[young frost]

bigger issue is that the recoil feels shitty even w a 16" barrel

[past niche]

My most used weapon is the mp5

[young frost]

what scope ?

[carmine lantern]

and packing a p90 mag in the raid is hell

[past niche]

Iunno whatever I'm vibin with at the moment

[hollow sapphire]

i think they fixed that

[young frost]

they fixed it bro

[hollow sapphire]

the modifier is now +15% only rather than the 60%

[distant obsidian]

probably a lot of what was talked about on tarkov tv

[hollow sapphire]

or whatever it was before

[carmine lantern]

oh, thats good

then nevermind p90 is okay

[young frost]

same with the 545 mags

[carmine lantern]

just not great

[hollow sapphire]

but yeah it got fixed iron sights that kinda bothers me

[past niche]

Makes sense. I missed that, I'll have to look for a recap or watch it at work tomorrow

[distant obsidian]

its good

[hollow sapphire]

wait hold on you can change the sights

[distant obsidian]

prob the best one yet

[hollow sapphire]

im stupid

[young frost]

it no longer takes half an eternity to load a 95rd drum

[past niche]

Is it the most recent one

[hollow sapphire]

yeah its good that they fixed packing mags in general, it favored way too much some mags over others seemingly randomly

[young frost]

for a while it was like 85-90

something like that

[distant obsidian]

I mewan 1.0 tarkov tv was lit

[past niche]

Man Subnautica 2, Horizon 6, and Icebreaker this month.

[hollow sapphire]

yeah I can't remember what it was exactly, maybe it was 90%? annoying as hell

[distant obsidian]

horizon 6 yes

[young frost]

lmao he actually thinks were getting icebreaker

[pastel pendant]

anyone else experiencing latency issues?

[distant obsidian]

some are

and yes we are getting icebreaker lol

[pastel pendant]

Got like 3% packet loss

[distant obsidian]

no they are not going to scrap like 2 years of word at the end

[past niche]

I just ordered a new wheel stand for my racing wheel for horizon 6s release

[distant obsidian]

ignorant comment

[distant obsidian]

niicee

ill just use my controller

[hollow sapphire]

okay how about this:

g28 patrol configuration vs MDR

im leaning towards g28

[past niche]

I use both. But I enjoy the immersion from a wheel

[past niche]

I'm an MDR boy here

[hollow sapphire]

mdr does have full auto

[carmine lantern]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wjNj9dPPhTc this is a bretty good breakdown+it has the full stream vod if you want to watch that, since for some reason they dont upload it to youtube later

[spark zodiac]

mmmmmmmh p90

[distant obsidian]

it is good

[past niche]

I'm so ready for prestige in pve

But I know that's more later in the year not so much with icebreaker

[hollow sapphire]

i just cant be arsed to do the same damn tasks again

[past niche]

Also a little bummed that seasonal is pvp only. I dont have that PvP patience in me anymore

[young frost]

mdr based

[hollow sapphire]

oh X-17 is pretty light too, didnt realize that

[young frost]

g28 pigfat. bigger than xbox controller

x17 also based but they killed the 20" barrel

[hollow sapphire]

nah the g28 in patrol config aint that bad

[young frost]

feels super shitty at like 26 ergo

[hollow sapphire]

shit you're right

insanely bad ergo with the 20" barrel

[past niche]

Someone suggested the x17 to me earlier. I plan on giving it a shot

[young frost]

yea it was like a hard nuke. same build used to be like about 50 ergo

[hollow sapphire]

doesnt that just make MDR categorically better?

[young frost]

yea sorta

long barrel is waaay less punishing on it

[hollow sapphire]

more ergo, better moa. More weight though but still

interesting how they gutted this one

[young frost]

its kinda like going back to pre 1.0 mdr vs x17

yea it was pretty fucked up of them ngl. esp how they tried to play it off like uhhh yea we increased the base stats but all the attachments suck lmao

[hollow sapphire]

tbh I havent even played with that caliber for a while, for some reason marlin + smg has been my jam outside of things where you want big boy caliber on full auto like labrys

it also seems now that opening the black keycard stimroom in lab is now worth it? since the black keycards go for mere 4mil

meanwhile stims are becoming more expensive

[young frost]

probably not. idk. look through the windows

[peak coral]

can someone put the terminal explosive up on flea

[sage marsh]

I dont think they are flea'able

[peak coral]

it is

[main eagle]

wait buying from traders doesnt count towards the total spending?

my buddy just bought a compass for 200k and it didn't count towards the total spent amount

[lime mauve]

It does I think

Easier to get it selling though

[rancid tundra]

It does

Relaunch the game

It happened to me too

[main eagle]

it was bug. I tried it and it count

thanks anyway

[lime mauve]

I sell like 90% of my loot to therapist, mechanic, or ref because I'm lazy

I buy most of everything from flea too because fuck remembering barters and resets

[rancid tundra]

Thanks to twitch drops I'm a 1 lvl multimillionaire in pvp account

Even after prestige 1

[distant obsidian]

0 raids and lvl 20 on pvp

I could almost prestige when the changes come LOL

[rancid tundra]

??event

[quasi apex]

There are no ongoing events.

[lime mauve]

Like just now I sold a handful of stims and a few figurines to therapist after a real fast labs run for assessment 3 and made 540k

[rancid tundra]

Green lab card?

[peak coral]

anyone have any tips for solo terminal this shit is not easy

[rancid tundra]

7.62x51mm

One tap BD

[distant obsidian]

sheef guide

[main eagle]

yeah thats what I used

[distant obsidian]

i used a little of airwings. Older but had a few good things

[rancid tundra]

Only 2 electrical panel will be damaged if you play solo

[lime mauve]

Therapist and ref seem to be the best to sell to for valuables and weapons/weapon parts. But I don't pay much attention

[distant obsidian]

.yep

[lime mauve]

I flea stuff like red rebel, keycards, etc that I know sell for more even after the fees

[distant obsidian]

you dont flea rr

or like half the keycards lol

[lime mauve]

I have no use for red rebel now. And I don't use blue keycards ever

[distant obsidian]

you still dont flea rr

youy lose money

[rancid tundra]

Blue and old black is shit now

[distant obsidian]

vender rr

[lime mauve]

Yellow is pure profit so I never flea yellow

[rancid tundra]

Blue always has been

[lime mauve]

They were over a mil last time I listed one

[distant obsidian]

and you lose money on the flea with tax

[lime mauve]

Trader is what 900k?

[distant obsidian]

1m for rr from jeag

[lime mauve]

I haven't looked in a bit. I've been giving them to people that need it fir for a quest or don't have one to use for extracts

[lilac shadow]

RR has been hovering around that much on the flea. Ive been listing them for 950 or so

Better to just sell to yogurt at that point

[distant obsidian]

again, 1m to jeager lol

[peak coral]

nobodys selling the explosive for terminal :(

[distant obsidian]

course not, its rare

and most people use it or keep it

just get elite str

[peak coral]

time to try again

still 10 levels off from that

[distant obsidian]

how manmy raids?

[peak coral]

i need to learn how to powerlevel skills

let me check

753

[distant obsidian]

i got elite in 450 raids and iut was an ok pace

-.-

yikes lol

[hearty vapor]

someone said icebreaker is tomorrow or is that a lie?

[distant obsidian]

surely tomorrow

[peak coral]

how you get it so fast

[distant obsidian]

that wasnt overly fast.

you run while over weight, get your hideout and trophy case going for all the bonuses

then just run while in the yellow. easy

[peak coral]

most of these raids i run around overweight and have trophy case up

i just forget to run airfilters and dont do gytm

[distant obsidian]

well you need hte gym lol

remember trophy case is kills only of hte opposite faction

once thats going and you have all the other phys skill bonus stuff built. you get about 7 points a raid

[peak coral]

yeah its full of bear tags 50-60

[lilac shadow]

I wouldnt count on it.

[distant obsidian]

he clearly missed the part we have an event before icre breaker lol

[lilac shadow]

just cold drop the biggest expansion in a long time

[distant obsidian]

lol

[hardy narwhal]

Hi guys, thinking about buying a red rebel for extract advantages... can you lose it in the raid if its in our normal melee slot?

[daring kite]

normal melee slot

[jovial cobalt]

cant lose red rebel, only cultist knife in melee slot is lost on death

[golden bane]

Has anyone else had the issue of their PC fully crashing when trying to install or reinstall EFT?

[distant obsidian]

Sounds like your PC is not 1.0 ready. Not the game lol

[trail sail]

Hardware issue, storage going bad or maybe something else is faulty

[frail jolt]

Hi everyone, do I need to carry the cassette player on my PMC most of the time or I can put it in my stash forever?

[trail sail]

You can listen to audiotapes from the handbook no need to carry the casette

[carmine lantern]

the player can be in your stash

[frail jolt]

Thanks guys, I'm gonna use my special slot for green flare from now on

[golden bane]

L ragebait

[golden bane]

Seems my ssd is angry at it. Thank you for the info!

[odd gale]

Anyone know where the Experimental singal jammer is?

[tacit zenith]

hey guys is there a way to attract PMCs into dorms? gotta do evil watchman

[stone harbor]

wdym?

how to get it?

[odd gale]

Yeah where is it in labs

For the case

[stone harbor]

only 3 spawn points

it is guarantee to spawn at least 1 innit?

[odd gale]

Yeah where?

[jovial cobalt]

1 is the residential unit on the tables where all the stims spawn, and 1 is on the table at the cat figurine room

[stone harbor]

for my run, I found it right in the R16

[odd gale]

I have no clue where it spawns

Is what I'm saying

It should be linked in the other one

Not scrolling down

Or better yet make it both

if you follow it step by step, you will know where to get it

it should, but thats on the wiki people

Cody, are you doing the story via the in-game guide or follow the wiki?

Both

[carmine lantern]

cody is rawdogging it

If I have issues on game then I use wiki

[stone harbor]

doing it raw I see

no wonder haizz

[odd gale]

Only way to enjoy it

[stone harbor]

I have limited game time so I follow the wiki hehe

saved me tons of wasted time

like where the jammer spawn hehe

[odd gale]

Yeah

25 hours is crazy tho

[cosmic patrol]

Wiki goated.

[carmine lantern]

and I think thats how it is with almost every quest item on the wiki, I assume they just havent had the time to put that stuff on the wiki pages themselves rather than just on the story quest guides

https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Unknown_device_fragment like this one, for example

gives you 0 info unless you're looking at the guide

[odd gale]

I just asked Ency

[carmine lantern]

but I could not fix anything wiki related, I am not smart enough, so I only complain

it is the way of things

[odd gale]

Yay time to wait 25 hours

I hate this game

I forgot I'm crafting the ak50 body

[sly saddle]

https://youtu.be/6VYRAiXB-h0 Was this Reshala and Glukhar in a nutshell?

[sonic wigeon]

dude i was on the pier

in terminal

and the bd was doing the spam nades part

and the grenade went through the wall

[odd gale]

What ending you doing?

[sonic wigeon]

I think i was too close to the wall cause of the 3 million scavs

but jesus

saviour

cause

funny laby was finished

if not for that I would've just went another ending

[sly saddle]

Fuck TerraGroup.

[sonic wigeon]

and that too

yeah i hate terra

dude

something funny happened

i picked up

the ak with the gl

on the start

i brought it to the pier

i shot it and it didnt explode due to being too close

it killed a bd because i hit his face

[young frost]

lol. based

[sonic wigeon]

#screenshots message dced because server hamster died, I reconnected

this was my view

good thing i dced inside the armory not outside it

[young frost]

i almost got included for one of the super early pics of the device fragment in kabans office but the guy who took the pic looted it before he screenshat it 🥀

[young frost]

wtf. wall of flesh

[sonic wigeon]

Scavs: Sir we heard you had some candy

[young frost]

sir we have a a cash offer for ur properdy at 666 mammon road

[sonic wigeon]

that scav that passed by the door twice has me on the ground

"You sure you don't have candy"

"really?"

[young frost]

throw grenade

here put this in ur mouth

[sonic wigeon]

I was giving out BS/PPBS candies

[young frost]

the ak12 was an odd choice

i kinda dig it tho

[sonic wigeon]

I did

what

ak12?

I had an rpk and an m4(to use BD ammo after i ran out of the rpk ammo)

the ak12 was the one with the gl but it was on a body of the BD

[young frost]

ah yes rpk my mistake

[sonic wigeon]

cause i grabbed his plates

[jovial cobalt]

that looked bad at a glance

[young frost]

in my defense they look rly similar

dude it did

[jovial cobalt]

you grabbed his what now
oh, plates

[young frost]

it was weirdly painful to watch

i rly liked the whole "do nothing. win. " approach

v cool

[sonic wigeon]

I already cleared like

all the BD

then i dced

woke up to a scav army outside the armory

i guess they knew I was in there but couldn't open the door

so they just piled up

[young frost]

they were having a freakoff

[split osprey]

do self hosted pve raids still 100% give insured items?

[sonic wigeon]

in my experience

yes

[split osprey]

ok

[young frost]

doesnt matter

[split osprey]

in your experience you played alot recently?

[sonic wigeon]

yeah

[carmine lantern]

bsg does as well

[sonic wigeon]

if you are alone this

[young frost]

if ur the last man alive its guaranteed

[sonic wigeon]

yeah

[carmine lantern]

ive done only bsg and have never not gotten insurance back

yea, only solo experience for me for a bit

[sonic wigeon]

if you have someone else and they stayed for a bit

[carmine lantern]

coop is up in the air if a scav takes your shit

[young frost]

theyre not gonna waste server resources to simulate scavs looting u badly

[sonic wigeon]

your stuff might be picked up by scavs etc

[carmine lantern]

but yea, if you're solo, local or bsg does not matter for insurance

believe me, I died like 6 times on streets past few days and got all my stuff back every time

[young frost]

dude ive died early on streets and woods and had my body left for a long time

[sonic wigeon]

i just play local most of the time cause server desync doesnt fuck me over

[young frost]

the ai is too stupid to loot effectively and they usually die on their way out anyways

[sonic wigeon]

this is why if I am far from extract to bring my mates shit back

I leave them like

somewhere a scav don't go or cant go

I am like the instant insurance policy of my squad because out of all of them I am the most careful

[young frost]

dude i never carry ppls shit out nor do i want mine carried out. its all replaceable

[sonic wigeon]

the fuckers play like they're still in pvp and get smoked by the bosses/pmcs

[carmine lantern]

since its pve, if they lose a helmet, thats on them for dying :]

[sonic wigeon]

yeah around last month i stopped doing carry everything services i just make them choose 2 items

like a gun or the helmet

but if its something heavy like a plated armor/rig It's the only thing I am carrying

only if I had space in the first place

if not I am just leaving

[young frost]

id rather give someone a new one if theyre that fuckin worried about it

[carmine lantern]

yea thats pretty much what I turned into for my little friend group

[sonic wigeon]

they're gonna be a bitch about it cause I left it and a scav took it

[carmine lantern]

I just bring them armor and gear so its no issue if they die

[young frost]

like bro i aint humping ur zabralo across streets

[sonic wigeon]

Shitton of yap about the lost gun/gear
"I am just gonna give a new one"
"Nahh ill just get another [gun/gear]"

[sonic wigeon]

oh yeah no

reserve/streets or labs?

I am not taking any of your heavy shit

helmet and/or gun(if I have a free 2nd slot)

[young frost]

pov im about to give u a lecture on armor weight and penalties

ppl do get attached to their guns n i think its cute

[carmine lantern]

when I was new I was very much into gear fear

[young frost]

i usually take the liberty of repairing/replacing broken shit n refilling the garbage ammo with something nice

[carmine lantern]

now the only time I care, is when im using one of those 150 ref gp cost armors

not that I 'need' it, but I just wont bring those into labs

[sonic wigeon]

yeah the only thing I

like

bring back in risky situation

is THOSE armors

like the gp armors

[young frost]

yea i feel that

[sonic wigeon]

like the ones worth the trouble

[young frost]

i do however enjoy hoarding

[sonic wigeon]

ofc if I am really in a pinch and i managed to haul it out I am gonna ask for a stim payment lmfao

etcg/mule/odb 2 + replacing the used stims I needed to use to get it out

[young frost]

meh

u grind up crafting enough u have way more stims than u could rly use

[sonic wigeon]

true but I am gonna make it cost something for them for being a bitch and dying to reshalla

[young frost]

reshala or a guard ?

[sonic wigeon]

resh

[young frost]

ew gross

[sonic wigeon]

they got overconfident and pushed him without any helmet

I wanted to take point

they ran up stairs and got magnumed on the face

[carmine lantern]

owned

[young frost]

lmao even

i had a guy run into the minefield after clearing lexos

[summer zinc]

[young frost]

i was like fffuuuaarrkkk

[carmine lantern]

I had to let one of my friends die several times

because he kept saying he could snipe the grenade launcher guards at lexos

[carmine lantern]

so I just stood back and let him get grenades to the face for like 3 deaths before he was like 'okay I get it'

[vapid marlin]

This conversation sucks @young frost

[young frost]

omg mr pinkus

improve it

[vapid marlin]

just too much complaining for me

if they are a good person playing poorly i grab everything

[young frost]

indeed

however we are just being a bunch if bitches engaging in a yappathon for shits n gigs

[plush panther]

I mean, you can do that, you just have to be in a specific spot

[turbid barn]

when next event?

[plush panther]

in may

[stone goblet]

how are we doing

[analog topaz]

Waiting for updoot

[stone goblet]

yes

[plush panther]

just had an entire gaggle of raiders rush me in reserve bunker

8 of them in a span of a minute

[harsh tusk]

I just started doing the fence tasks for the ticket. Does anyone know, if I complete one task of killing PMCs, will it get reset if I accidentally kill a scav during the other task?

[stone goblet]

goddamn

[harsh tusk]

8? damn. That's labs amount of raiders

[plush panther]

yeah, I didn't know that many could even spawn at once there

[harsh tusk]

Sometimes a few spawn before you hit the switch, and a few after

[restive jewel]

only 2 chapters away from getting the good ending

[plush panther]

mfw I just died because of my roommate

this mf sneezes as loud as a thermonuclear bomb and it startled me and threw off my aim

[gilded mesa]

there were times where like i find a pmc squad of 6 at the warehouse area

raiders max 5

[glossy hound]

is icebreaker out yet

[harsh tusk]

Sometimes I get unlucky on labs, and 2 groups of raiders find eachother and join forces against me

[trail sail]

Dude if they're on main across the map and there's like 5 of them on the 2nd floor its so dangerous to fight

[plush panther]

no

[glossy hound]

tragic

[gilded mesa]

where this one at, cos i usually just try to avoid yellow and purple after the 5minutes is up

[jovial cobalt]

is icebreaker out yet

[harsh tusk]

Anyone know if bosses count as scavs during the "kill 5 pmc without killing scavs" ticket task?

[gilded mesa]

like i just grab yellow purple and kill pmcs asap then i can do whatever i want at medical block

[glossy hound]

excellent question

[gilded mesa]

oh yeah they count as scavs

[jovial cobalt]

[harsh tusk]

damn, gonna have to hope I don't run into killa

[gilded mesa]

just check emercom checkpoint

the pmcs love to make noise there

[harsh tusk]

Was nothing there, or powerstation. So I think all of them are inside

[odd gale]

Is increase out yet

[plush panther]

increase the decrease

[gilded mesa]

yikes

[marble aurora]

hello bois, any idea where to find mayo ? need it for collector

[plush panther]

ration supply crates

also on scavs

[marble aurora]

any map suggestions ?

[harsh tusk]

Reserve has quite a few ration supply crates

[plush panther]

woods usec camp has a bunch of ration crates too

ruaf camp*

actually both I think

[marble aurora]

thank you my gs

[gusty whale]

Yeah emercom on woods is probably best spot for safety and speed

[marble aurora]

you guys are goated, just found it in a crate in emercom

[gusty whale]

Nice glad to hear, last item for Kappa?

[marble aurora]

yessir

[gusty whale]

Congrats

[plush panther]

congrats, but how was mayo your last item lmao

[golden yew]

Hey guys, how are the AI PMCs these days? Do they feel somewhat dynamic, or do you tend to see them take the exact same routes every map etc.?

[marble aurora]

I ate it

for jaegger's task, and haven't found one after

[gusty whale]

As braindead as usual tbh. Better than a year ago, still clearly ai

[golden yew]

Hmm, alrighty thanks, gonna give it another year I guess 😬

[cosmic patrol]

guys.

[gusty whale]

Plenty of new content in the game, just yeah, ai isn't a challenge at all

[cosmic patrol]

A realization has been made by me. The kill squad AI was better than PMCs ever have been. So... kill squad AI to replace current "PMC" AI. 🤔 Thoughts?

[rotund talon]

Untill u meet gulkhar in train station

[gusty whale]

Just about any other game has better ai than tarkov sadly. Shit stalker ai from 20 years ago behaves better

[odd gale]

Until you get a grenade explode right above your head

[cosmic patrol]

Trueeeee. But try to explain that to Nikita. "Wewuwa, skill issue"

[rotund talon]

Untill goons drop 3 grenadest exacly at your feer

[gusty whale]

Glukah is easy, I will exclude this from my previous statement though, ai still throws banger nades

[odd gale]

On the boss event that was on reserve

[cosmic patrol]

Thats the only thing they are good at

[odd gale]

Reshala's guards tossed a nade right above my head

[cosmic patrol]

I fucking hated it.

[deep pewter]

tbh i found the best way to enjoy the ai from me is to be ignorant of their spawns, movement options, how to cheese them and guides

cause once i know

i cannot go back

[gusty whale]

Ye the bosses throw some nuts grenades sometimes

[cosmic patrol]

I sniped inside the fuckin PC room, the fuckin uhh what the building be

I am boutta pull up a reserve map hol up

[odd gale]

I gotta wait until Thursday to continue Ticket

[rotund talon]

Wasnt bad

[gusty whale]

Problem is, play the same map more than 4 or 5 times and you learn their movement anyways

[plush panther]

welp first part of Fence's assignment done lmao, that was easy

[deep pewter]

i havent been able to find out their movement, moreso just where they go

[gusty whale]

I mean labs I basically don't even look for ai for the first 5 minutes as 95% of raids I won't see them on my routes

[rotund talon]

Raiders arent bad

On Labs i mean

[golden yew]

I'm just contemplating playing PVE instead of PVP on the non-seasonal realm, since I'm not sure how the game would be as a total noob 6 months into the release 😬 Gear-gap aside, can you even do pvp quests on PVP or do you barely find anyone?

[gusty whale]

Nah they're extremely predictable on labs

[deep pewter]

which makes sense

i want ratting pmcs though that'd be funny

[odd gale]

It's doable

[cosmic patrol]

So, black... bishop? the PC room there. I was sitting AFK there, got back, peeked around before jumping out. Someones guards were there, forgot whose, at black pawn. The stairwell hiding. I peek out for once second, fall back. Sit, and then I see the nade throwing animation, and it lands perfectly. Literally pitch perfect in the window. I kinda liked it

[odd gale]

Just more difficult

And you gotta have patience

[rotund talon]

Still they cant be ignored

[gusty whale]

Couldn't tell you sadly. PvE is still fun though, albeit easy.

[rotund talon]

Easy is overstatement

[deep pewter]

i play pve for the story and enviorment design, aswell as the guns

[odd gale]

Same^

If I want PvP I queue up arena

[deep pewter]

the only time you're going to be challenged is with the bosses if you're caught off guard

[gusty whale]

Eh, I usually do exactly that most the time, unless there is a decent sized group that jump you I usually don't have any issues at all with them. Maybe lose an arm and that's about it

[deep pewter]

fuck the rogues though im glad i learned how to clear them 🥀

[gusty whale]

This is pretty much it, only time you die is either a god grenade or a guard/boss is hiding in a corner not moving and 1 taps you in the back

[rotund talon]

So what u want from them? To instafuck u as pillagers or smugglers when u only aggroed them?

[gusty whale]

Yes, quite frankly, yeah haha

[rotund talon]

Bruh

Just go pvp then

[gusty whale]

I loved the pillager event

[rotund talon]

U will get free head eyes from rats

[gusty whale]

I mean the solution is simple, add a difficulty option for pve, but bsg won't do it for reasons and excuses

[deep pewter]

honestly it would be cool if they had key routes based on how rare they are, or some of them are doing quest routes (though maybe not actually questing but pretending they are)

[rotund talon]

Diff option will fuck up fleamarket

[gusty whale]

How

Easy mode, as it is now, hard mode, actually a challenge for those that want it

[rotund talon]

Ppl will run easiest possible to get lots of good loot

Prices go low

[proper glacier]

I am a total noob and I gave PvP a try first, it's very much possible, but you have to rat and have way too much patience and time on your hands, so I just bought PvE and caught up to where I was on PvP in a day, took me a week on pvp

[marble bronze]

separate fleas. easy.

[gusty whale]

Hate to break it to you, they already do 😂 my average survival streak atm is like 80-100 raids...

[marble bronze]

or just no flea in hard mode

[rotund talon]

My best is 25 so yeah

Im not a terminator as u

[gusty whale]

It doesn't need separate fleas, if easy mode is as it is now, nothing will change. I'm not saying pve needs another mode to be easier, but another mode to be harder

[marble bronze]

no shit

pve is easy as piss

[gusty whale]

That's my point

[proper glacier]

Good way for people to learn the game, quests and maps tho

(Even though they are adding GPS)

[marble bronze]

or play with the bad homies without having to deal with megasweats or cheaters.

[gusty whale]

Pve atm is already immensely easy, and I have no issue with that. I'm saying there should be an option to opt into harder ai, else everything remains the same

[marble bronze]

except BSG doesn't understand how to make fun harder AI

it's always just +cheats

[proper glacier]

I have all together maybe 40 hours, 0.1kd and still get people with 10k hours prestige 4 etc mainly why I switched to pve

[golden yew]

How does flea market work in pve? Is it just all simulated or do pve players actually trade between each other?

[proper glacier]

Yeah I agree with that, or at least make the PMC AI better, mfs be staring at the wall when I'm shooting thm

[marble bronze]

it's all between players

[deep pewter]

eh people always complain cause its a difficult thing to attempt to emulate what real players act like

[golden yew]

Gotcha

[gusty whale]

Ultimately the issue is people play pve for one of two reasons, a) they can't compete in pvp, like physically cant, or b) they don't want to deal with cheaters and rats even though theyre skilled enough for pvp. Can't balance pve around both groups, will always be too easy or too hard for one. Hence just have 2 difficulties

[proper glacier]

And I wish they had more variety in guns attachments and stuff when it comes to ai players

[deep pewter]

and this applies to every game with ai from how i see people talk about it

[gusty whale]

Oh it's hard for sure, way harder than people think, but it's also been done before, by multiple games

[proper glacier]

Grey zone AI are pretty good even though they are just scavs

[deep pewter]

are we talking curated single player experiences? or actual ai in like multiplayer settings?

[proper glacier]

Like AI players

[latent sierra]

does night time increase tagilla spawns? ive read about it but cant confirm it

[deep pewter]

ah i havent gave it a try cause of my pc being dogpoo

[gusty whale]

I mean this is kinda irrelivant and neither approach is inherently wrong, nor does either approach not lead to better ai than we have now

[marble bronze]

simply scaling ai pmc "skill" and gear based on level would be a good start, but higher tier AI should be more than "they are just better shots and have wallhacks"

[proper glacier]

I'm on 16gb of ram and 2080 with a Ryzen 5 3 thousand something, and performance in PvP is so much better

[deep pewter]

but tarkov's maps are incredible dense for their size, having ai that behaves like real players in some of these maps would be an astronomical task no?

[marble bronze]

and scaling enemy level to be around your level as well

[gusty whale]

I think the biggest issue atm is movement, ai just behaves like well brainless drones honestly

[proper glacier]

Also their aim is atrocious

[gusty whale]

I'll dm you as I don't want to be muted sec

[marble bronze]

it would be difficult yes, but the payoff would be enormous

but also they could work with modders who have already done that

and cut the learning curve

[rotund talon]

+1

[proper glacier]

Also I haven't figured it out yet, but can I even prestige in PvE?

[marble bronze]

not yet, but soonish

[rotund talon]

And better ammo variety

[rotund talon]

Not now

[proper glacier]

Oh so we are behind PvP a bit

[marble bronze]

in that one area, yeah

[proper glacier]

But we can do terminal mission?

[marble bronze]

you can escape, yes

[deep pewter]

probably yeah

[proper glacier]

Oh amazing

[deep pewter]

just going to take awhile cause standard account for me 🥀

[proper glacier]

Just want to experience that last mission seems fun af

[proper glacier]

Yeah I got standard too, and that damn storage is a PAIN

[marble bronze]

just don't hoard shit

[deep pewter]

atp im just trying to rush lvl 30 to buy keycards

[harsh tusk]

damn, I'm getting real unlucky with interchange pmc kills. First I only got 2, because they all spawned inside and got swarmed by scavs.
So I transited to customs and back to interchange. I get 2 more at emercon. Then the rest spawn inside and get killed by killa...

I only need 1 more

[proper glacier]

I'm mostly saving stuff for quests

Or hideout upgrades and it's pissing me of

I might js buy unheard when I get paid

[harsh tusk]

Know what? Nevermind. Right as I wrote that, 2 bears came running up to me out of nowhere and gave themselves up on a silver platter

[deep pewter]

for pve? i mean i think its a good idea to do it for pvp but pve you can easily spam good keys and such once you unlock flea

hideout upgrades always finna be annoying tho

[proper glacier]

I seem to suck at quests so its gonna take me like weeks to get traders to a decent level or even unlock flea market things

[odd gale]

How do you "suck"

[proper glacier]

It takes me way too long to find stuff even with a wiki

Because I don't know the maps

[odd gale]

Try scav runs

How I learned

[proper glacier]

How does that even work on pve

Same as PvP?

[odd gale]

Yep

[marble bronze]

just no players, all AI

[plush panther]

yes except you start at the start of the raid, not somewhere in the middle

[proper glacier]

That's actually not bad at all

[odd gale]

It helps a lot

[proper glacier]

Only map I know is customs so I've been mostly running that

But eventually I gotta go other places

[marble bronze]

scaving in pve is a bit silly imo

[odd gale]

Customs isn't bad just the boss gives horrible loot

[odd gale]

If your learning the map then no

[proper glacier]

Not if you run into good no?

[plush panther]

if you need help with some quests I could always hop in and help

[marble bronze]

practice mode

[odd gale]

I did a scav run on customs during the event

[proper glacier]

Goons*

[odd gale]

Got away with all guards and boss kits

[proper glacier]

Idk If they are even on customs anymore

[odd gale]

Plus a ledx

[odd gale]

Goons are

[proper glacier]

Would appreciate it when I get off work today

[marble bronze]

goons aren't hard unless you play their game. make them come to you, hold an angle at a choke they have to come thru to get to you

[plush panther]

what time would that be? I'll be busy in the afternoon

[odd gale]

They rushed me on lighthouse when I had the armored train cart spawn

They didn't survive

[deep pewter]

though if you're playing on shoreline and they spot you in the open

pray

[golden yew]

Oh one last question, how does insurance work in pve? Can AI loot you or do you just get everything back (if so, do you choose to just not insure)?

[marble bronze]

if solo, insurance is guaranteed

[odd gale]

Once the raid ends then your basically getting the loot back

[marble bronze]

if playing in a group, homiesurance

[proper glacier]

I'm running mostly NATO weapons (favourite weapons) so is m855 even enough to kill them? Not even m855 but shit you get from peacemaker on lvl 1

[odd gale]

Or if they dump it onto the ground

[golden yew]

Oh dang, that kills the thrill off when solo I guess 😬

[proper glacier]

Like evening-ish 7-8pm central EU time
