[indigo wolf]

Teamkilling is not frowned upon, look at the Rogues

You even have a conversation about this with Prapor once you hand in the dogtags for Reserve access

[honest blade]

Do we have any more information about the like bear variant of goons? They're popping up a lot and I doubt there'd be a whole storyline about htem if they werent important

[ebon yoke]

I want a BL manga with USEC and BEAR

[ebon yoke]

Question: where can I find the lore magathread that they used to have in the forum? They had all sorts of documents and cool stuff

[bronze yacht]

Hey so if an EMP weapon “blue flame” was detonated in tarkov, or at least just in ground zero, how come so many street lights still work? Ragman and therapist both mention during their missions that most cars in tarkov don’t work because of it, so how come there is still power in the city? Shouldn’t it be pitch black at night? What am I missing here?

[twilit crater]

The power comes from outside tarkov, it is not that the blue fire took out the entirety of all power it took out all electronics that why finding working graphics cards, lcds and etc are so valuable its cause you found items that actually work after the EMP

[bronze yacht]

Ahh I see I see. That makes sense, thank you.

Though now I have another question, why is the outside world powering tarkov? Who is paying for it and why?

[twilit crater]

I dont know much about how a whole city is powered and whatnot but i would assume TerraGroup probably own electrical gridlines or whatever cause they have whole surveillance systems setup all around tarkov and have entire laboratories setup with Fixer teams on stand by 24/7

[hot parrot]

A lot of power plants aren't the kind of thing that people want in their backyard. Coal and natural gas plants produce obvious(ish) pollution. Nuclear makes "the ick". Hydro is obviously from the devil (how else could magnets work?).

In seriousness: Power is typically not conveniently generated near where people would prefer to live.

[bronze yacht]

That doesn’t at all answer my question

It actually has nothing to do with my question

[hot parrot]

A valid point.

I'd say probably UNTAR is keeping power on because if citizens haven't been evacuated for some reason, leaving them without power would be worse than denying scumbags like us power.

[rare cedar]

imagine a world where every sus death wasn't your first thought to be a cheater why play a game when the goat video still exists more cheaters than ever thanks bsg 10yrs no improvements to anti cheat or optimization all the money went to what not the severs or to the anti cheat trashy dev team

[mild roost]

The anti cheat they use is BattlEye. They don't use a custom anti cheat so they don't technically have an anti cheat team since it's a third party thing. Also this is for lore discussions, not complaints. Save that for the other chats

[mild roost]

And please, your grammar sucks and that's not an insult

[mild roost]

And this has to be said. This is incoherent gibberish that a 5 year old would write and that's an insult to 5 year olds

[brave grail]

What is the story quest experience like? Are the quests just the old tasks but glorified or is there anything meaningful happening in raid? More NPCs, in game objectives that aren't just like the old tasks?

[mild roost]

Not sure right now

[frigid beacon]

From what I have seen until now, the story is a bit more coherent and interesting - added story quests with lore etc, all shaping up to be... well, a story.
So far, so good.

[mild roost]

Didn't expect a game like this to tell an interesting story but here we are. Then again, the lore around it is solid so it makes sense for the story to be cool

[frigid beacon]

agreed, I was also surprised with the depth of the lore... interested to see if/how they develop the stuff outside of the endgame moments

[mild roost]

Games with lore this deep are pretty rare

[twilit crater]

I do like the lore and story but the things you have to do inbetween kinda feel like generic quests to get to the next thing tho some of them is quite cool but the whole intercom thing and outside of Tour storyline quests like batya or falling skies they feel like your actually doing something else than give 4 million in dollars to mechanic to access worst map in the game

[mild roost]

What I'm more interested in is what Terminal will look like when we get there

How it will play out in the cutscenes and what the fights with Black Division will be like

[mild roost]

100%. The intercom thing feels like that moment in Raid where the BEAR and USEC PMCs are trying to get to the Terminal

[frigid beacon]

I agree, but there has to be a bit of filler quests tho - the game would either be too short or too linera without them

[mild roost]

And the story is technically non linear so it makes sense

[twilit crater]

It says terminal is not avaible on the world map so i hope its not a situation similar to the rpg where it was shown in the trailer but only actually brought out very late into the wipe

[mild roost]

It's not available cause no one's gotten to it yet

Least that's my guess

[twilit crater]

Tho its probably a transit situation where you have to walk up to the gate and wait for a loading screen

It would be cool if Terminal was just an extension of shoreline so its most seamless transition without a loading screen

[mild roost]

That would make sense too though do you have any idea how many peeps would be trying to get there in one raid when they're done with the main story?

Shit would go crazy

[mild roost]

An option to Transit to Terminal would be interesting

[twilit crater]

Probably not a lot i mean the story line is very long and i remember nikita saying if you died in terminal doing the final quest to get out of tarkov your character would be gone but the actual terminal apart from the teammates you brought would be PVE

So i doubt a lot of people would be continuously running terminal

[mild roost]

Its the endgame. What would be the point of going there all the time?

[frigid beacon]

yeah, I am also thinking loading before Terminal will be a thing - same as with the Labyrinth or similar

[twilit crater]

Maybe trying to get different endings possible or just having fun on this unique map

[mild roost]

I am curious what the endings will look like. We have a good idea of 2 of them I think and both of them involve dying

Nikita did mention 4 endings so the other 2 would be where you survive but different outcomes will occur

[mild roost]

Maybe. It is a large map and the way you traverse it could influence what ending you get

But it is a PvE only area since you won't fight players, only AI

[mild roost]

Would make sense

[frigid beacon]

dude, I am so hyped, I cannot wait to see that and... probably be extremely disappointed

[mild roost]

I'm hyped to get killed by the first enemy I see on there, most likely a Black Division PMC

Someone described Black Division as like one of the Goons but cranked to 11

[frigid beacon]

same, by the first enemy I do not see.....

[mild roost]

That sounds pretty scary since the Goon Squad are dangerous enough and having enemies on their level or worse and multiple of them is all kinds of fucked

[frigid beacon]

I am just wondering if the überbot moment ruins the fun... you play the entire game to prep for that, and then you get lasered as soon as one pixel of your pinky toe is visible

[mild roost]

Given how Tarkov is, this is a possibility

The Goons can be easy to deal with if you position yourself correctly and the same could be said for Terminal

I would love to see a Terminal world speedrun

[rare cedar]

any one naming themselves Lord Nightmare on discord has issues who are you to act noble in a chat for a pvp game lmao PVE was added bc you got tired of the same thing or you would play pvp or your just bad at the game which is it?

[frigid beacon]

did it just get a lot saltier in here?

[rare cedar]

imagine trying to defend the people who tried to openly scam their player base. People are so forgiving and dumb now a days

[void hemlock]

Lad who hurt you?

[brazen dirge]

this doesnt look like lore discussion

[frigid beacon]

looks a lot like heresy...

speaking of lore, are there hints around deepening the cultists story? haven't seen anything new

[twilit crater]

not really anything yet but i did find in the tutorial a note about the blue flame on a dead scav

[frigid beacon]

is that not about the EMP?

[twilit crater]

Blue flame = EMP

[frigid beacon]

damn, I missed EVERYTHING in the tutorial... LEDX, GPU, loads of money, the note

[twilit crater]

theres also a newspaper in the tutorial

that i didnt find

but i know it exists

[severe basin]

Same. Not worth restarting now though.

[lament forge]

I haven't been able to restart yet (life and such) but just wanted to say thank you to everyone sharing their remarks on the beginning, definetely want to make sure I see that newspaper!

[bronze quail]

There’s 2 whole quest lines about the cultist activities one mainly cultists and the other centered around Terra group experimental shit, don’t want to spoil it for you as I’m currently working my way through both of them and can say there’s way more info on them now and their activities throughout the tarkov region

[frigid beacon]

awesome! thanks for the info and thanks for not spoiling! 🙂

[bronze quail]

Ofc, you’ll probably need some help at certain points as they don’t really give you much direction but when you figure shit out you can read through all their notes and their book

[frigid beacon]

yeah, figuring shit out is half the fun!

[bronze quail]

I will say I’ve always enjoyed the secrecy of the cultist stuff but having actual paper trails to follow makes it really cool and you get to learn a lot more about their impact on the tarkov region as a whole which we never were able to before

[frigid beacon]

yeah, should round off the story pretty well, I guess

[bronze quail]

I think you’ll enjoy the book when you get there huge lore dumps with cultists

[bronze yacht]

Ok but what does this have to do with the lore

Unless you’re implying that cheating is canon, like it’s some sort of dark blood magic some PMCs learned from the cultists that give them “supernatural” abilities lmao

Btw, has the main quest expanded on the blue chemical that’s all over tarkov? The one Terra group produced, I forgot what it’s called. Blue crystal? Blue powder? Something like that

I’m not asking for late game spoilers I’m just asking if they’ve expanded on it or not

[rocky rune]

In trailer we see emp on plain, but in cutscene we don't see it falling. It explodes on roof of building behind terragroup office.

[hazy mantle]

First your cheeks are divided. Then you are the one that divides the cheeks...

[flint cypress]

Wasn’t confirmed that was the emp

Very fair to assume it was

But we could have a curveball

[gray quail]

Why do all the lights work if an EMP went off in the city

[sharp jackal]

You're a wizard Scavy

[junior tendon]

flea needs to go to level 30+ just made 3 mil from tools lmao

[regal python]

Bradford the Third single handedly destroying 10 years of dogshit lore building with a single question lmao

[forest hedge]

Anyone know which card we need to enter terminal?

[sour cipher]

Do you need to complete every side quest in tarkov for the good ending or every story quest

[thorn mural]

anyone found the lead on item 1156?

[stuck steeple]

no

[hazy mantle]

No

[jade stag]

Get this person out of here

[uncut hawk]

wrong type of game xD

[lucid yarrow]

[lethal smelt]

worst theory so far

[frigid beacon]

fence is secretly a Pokemon > fence is secretly a girl

[rotund bloom]

In interchange, have we learned anything about the basement at powerstation?

[rancid pike]

has anyone found the labrynth facility recesrxh report

[unborn spoke]

bit late from me but exactly what i was looking for thanks homie

[paper sun]

okay so hear me out prapor is actually a trans-feminist white woman stuck in a illegal russian arms dealer's body

[twilit summit]

Ofc man, its cool info fs

[void vault]

did u check drain pipe near shoreline?

sounds like it could be somewhere not on labyrinth

[void vault]

ok i found it! it's by the drain pipe by the pier/docks on shoreline! :)

[mild roost]

Why would Fence be trans? And if he is (highly unlikely) then what would give it away?

I am quite sure that the other traders simply do not give a fuck bout that shit since it's Tarkov. Far more important things to worry about than someone's gender identity

[tropic eagle]

someone should ban this person who said fence is trans. you know this game Russian developed

[mild roost]

It's definitely worded like bait which makes me doubt it's a legit theory. That and there's no indication that he's trans at all. The only character that would even come remotely close to being trans (highly unlikely of course) would be that hacker guy in the mask we see in the Echoes of Unfallen trailer. But since this is Russian game and LGBTQ people are the least likely to appear in a setting like this, I'm considering it bullshit

Why oh god fucking why do theories like this even exist?

[pulsar cypress]

Russians don’t believe in self id theory

[craggy pier]

Mr.Kerman is actually role-playing as a furry cat boy

[cosmic nacelle]

anybody found the rfid card encryption device?

[rancid pike]

yeah we found it but i ain’t finish it rewards are buns

[void vault]

lmaooo yea.. the story quests rewards are lackluster

[rancid pike]

we was doing them without anything on the wiki and the dude i was with said we only get ammo for completing it so we just stopped 😭

[torn lion]

any way around the 20k usd forlighthouse?

[twilit crater]

No

Its only 4 mil thats nothing

[bitter marsh]

I completed accidental witness. Is there a way I can turn it in and get a reward or no?

[slender hazel]

Whats the lore behind our pmc waking up in a random spot in raid only to escape or go mia

[unborn light]

lol wat

[slender hazel]

When you load into a raid, your pmc faids into reality.

What im wondering is how do they reach that spot at the start of a raid?

Like spawning in big red at customs how do we just appear there

[tropic eagle]

I just think fence secretly works for both sides and is an insider for us to see what terragroup has going on. Plus we heard his voice when we visit to talk to him in game

[indigo timber]

the implication of moremans audio tape #1 scares me

[grand topaz]

Does anyone have any idea why there is a geneburn poster in game with a qr code on it that leads to a google doc named "Tree Stump" that contains only "51.4694559, 7.2249327"?

There is also a note that says "he did not want to collaberate with terragroup. -Mr. K."

[indigo timber]

cordnets. weird

im starting to think scavs are not just looters and gangers. the whole fuckin city is drugged

russia 2028 is gonna be the aftermath of terragroup i think

tarkov is just the catalyst

[dense pumice]

Does anyone know where to find the item 1156 thing in the terragroup areas for the blue fire story line quest

[indigo timber]

does it say anything in the lore or the stuff you picked up?

[dense pumice]

no

[rose swan]

How do I hand propor Elektronik's flash drive? I have it in my inventory but won't give me a prompt to hand it over. Do I need both the flight transcript and the drive to turn them in?

[rancid pike]

when mr kerman tells u to go find out prapors crews intentions at light house it’s only the note and badge u gotta find right

[rancid pike]

yeah i think u need both

just get both and try and give them to prapor

[mild roost]

Him working for both sides makes sense for someone like him

[rose swan]

gonna try it after a customs run for tarkov shooter lol

[rancid pike]

yeah well the hard drive and transcript are in the same room so try and get both

[lunar trench]

didnt know dying to a level action every raid was for the lore

[fleet inlet]

Is Partizan the one they refer to as the mushroom picker?

[bronze quail]

some would say hes on the fence about tarkov/terragroup issues

ill see myself out my bad

[inland wasp]

Tarkov started the Contract Wars, it absolutely is the catalyst

so, Kerman is actually double-crossing everyone to fix this mess, isnt it

[novel mortar]

What does killas grenade voiceline mean in Russian. Is he a very chill guy that he sounds at ease even in front of a grenade

[covert ridge]

either partizan or jaeger i would assume

[daring plaza]

I just wanted to share my animation progress for anyone who loves Tarkov’s lore!

https://discordapp.com/channels/521608697764380694/719146444598280214/1443512161899909191

[icy surge]

Anyone completed "They are Already Here"? I can't find what i'm looking for around Sordi communication tower on Shoreline. Spent about 2 hours search all around it and in the forest surrounding it.

[bronze quail]

body down the hill slightly north side, has a note, you also need to fix the tower itself

[icy surge]

Ta, dunno how I missed it. I was doing spirals outwards around the tower for about 100m

[icy surge]

Shorelines compass direction is still confusing. Haven't tested it with a compass but You say north but bodies on the south. The world map present Terminal in the south but those in game maps have the coast at the top presenting it as north.

Also I see in the quest it says to repair it, but it doesn't explain how to. Don't see anything interactable, do I just come back with a tool kiit and multi tool and hope for the best?

[bronze quail]

Toolkit, I just use health resort as the point of north, compasses in game are shit,

Why carry compass when I can bring 2 surv kits and my recorder to make mixtapes in raid

[drowsy hearth]

WAIT can you use recorders?

[sudden garden]

No lmao

[gentle swift]

The compass is useless lowkey

Surv kit, flare and whatever else u need for tasks

[quaint ridge]

^

Compass CAN be good when youre just starting out, but otherwise useless

[obsidian gyro]

heard terminal isnt in the game yet this true?

[gentle swift]

No one knows as far as i know

[covert ridge]

why wouldn't it be in the game, wasnt it shown off at the game shows as apart of 1.0 release version, and we're in 1.0 release version, and the entrance to terminal exists on shoreline

i could see them pulling a "we thought it would take people 5 months to get to the end so actually we didn't implement it then because it wasn't ready yet" though so

[bronze quail]

There’s a few people who are on the very last part. It’s time gated or has to be enabled on servers by bsg

[covert ridge]

wow

[mild roost]

Have they done everything or do they still have stuff to do?

[mild roost]

I'd be surprised if people other than streamers no lifed this shit and got everything done since the wiki is still being worked on which is a valuable resource

I can barely function without it most of the time

[shrewd depot]

best part of lore was the big scare of EOD to unheard

when the whole Tarkov united

[mild roost]

I consider it not canon for the purposes of sanity maintenance but that's just me. Sides, 50% from EOD to Unheard is a decent deal in my book. Anyways we should get back to the actual lore

[shrewd mauve]

Where can i find the main lore of eft? Some searches brought me nowhere with like actual lore sources

[whole goblet]

Has anyone ran into black division yet?

[knotty kettle]

Stop copy and pasting this message into every chat

[red nymph]

there's a few good videos out on youtube that can be found with a simple search that compile everything we know from in game and also from the books/bsg youtube series'.

[jaunty thicket]

what is black division

[mild roost]

They're on Terminal and no one's gotten there yet so not yet

[mild roost]

PMC division that Terragroup uses

[inland wasp]

i always thought Cultists are part of Black Division

[stable crag]

How does Tarkov lore justify members of USEC or BEAR killing each other?

[brisk nebula]

Cultists were an experiment conducted by a group of elites. Black Division is a specialized PMC that Terra Group hired right before detonating object 1156 (The EMP). USEC were actually pushed out of having anything to do with Terra Group right before the EMP incident. Before TG even evacuated its top level scientists.

[inland wasp]

[mild roost]

BEAR was created for the sole purpose of going after Terragroup and gathering information on them

[inland wasp]

terragroup*

in fact usec was doublecrossed by terragroup, werent they

[mild roost]

From what I've found in my limited research, they seemed to have been betrayed by Terragroup in favour of Black Division since I'm certain USEC was not aware of Black Division's existence

[brisk nebula]

You can find sources for some of the information in the novels. Translation was kinda poor, but it directly references Cultists being part of an experiment. That's why they have reduced body heat and no foot steps. The rest can be learned from in-game notes hidden in various places.

[hidden path]

What are rogues?

[jagged mist]

Former USEC PMC's who banded with the Goons to cut out their own territory in Tarkov (Water treatment plant)

[pliant rune]

well, the vision was that there was just The Map, so some of the routes leading to the region would result you going there, most of the spawns on maps are on the outskirts of it, but some of them don't really make sense (like spawning next to the mountain on woods). Technically you could be already there when people are entering, probably just for balance sake on maps like Shoreline
A huge ass map with mines and stuff and needing to find routes would be cool but spaghetti code would blow our computers up

[willow loom]

you need to go visit prapor and the dialog option should be there

[idle stratus]

So, are players who haven't reset their saves currently unable to obtain the maze access card? The previous doctor mission exchange task and unlocked recipes were deleted, as were the recipes and tasks of the clothing merchant. Without resetting the save, it's impossible to access the story mode and obtain the key card from the hunter. Was this an intentional update or was this oversight when deleting the tasks?

[mild roost]

In order to access 1.0 content on PvE, a reset is required. I don't know how anyone could miss this or why they would not want to reset their PvE profile but it's whatever

[digital fog]

so if i linked my steam account and bought the escape edition from there
do i have to install the game from steam to get the expansion

[hidden path]

Do they moves around maps?

[verbal holly]

Wait do people have to reset their pve saves every update to access content?

(I’m new lvl 5 first ever character)

[indigo wolf]

No

[jagged mist]

Rogues do not, the Goons (the boss trio) do, granted, depending on your version (PVE and PVP), they may be present on any map

[verbal holly]

Oh was it just for 1.0 official release?

[indigo wolf]

It’s because the new story chapters require you to do the tutorial, which you can’t do unless you reset

[verbal holly]

oh i see

RIP to people who had good saves

[half knot]

hey i need help. i was gonna open the armord case, and the power in hideout cut out and i lost the case, tips? i lost the jammer and the case

[keen socket]

It is like every time, no matter how much advantage I have, if another player rushes me, I will 100% lose

What the fk is going on

The other guy has fractured leg, screaming while he is running, and maybe even bleeding, I take off corner, lv4 armour, bp ammo. STILL I LOST.

[covert ridge]

average eft lore ^

[keen socket]

sry I clicked the wrong channel

[weak hound]

Do you think Terragroup was responsible for the EMP blast shown in the story trailer?

[marsh totem]

most likely

[mild roost]

All signs to point to Terragroup

[dapper ice]

Gotta be, my thaughts is a last ditch attempt to exfil some of their people left in the confusion as well as to destroy potential incriminating evidence on what they were doing?

[mild roost]

Something like that

[wide barn]

Someone ran into them on Factory right before the update.

[rough wave]

Was my thoughts EMP wiped out all hard drives as they couldn't hold back the attack.

The reason the US is always the good guys. They are fantastic at covering up when they aren't 🫠

[inland wasp]

but isnt terragroup british

[robust void]

Honestly I feel terragroup is tarkovs umbrella corporation
It would be cool if the factions ment something tho
As a usec you should be trying to cover up any evidence you find n bear should be trying to expose terragroup

[rough wave]

Agreed and you should also work together in raid with other friendly PMC faction's

[wide barn]

It would have been the case BEFORE the EMP thing.
Now, everyone's blocked in Tarkov and want to escape.

[crisp nimbus]

Guys, are you facing weird acting of checklist in "Batya" quest descriptions? Like for example it says "Visit Ryabina", you go there, loot every quest item, read them all, but in quest description the goal is marked red now. Same with next parts of the quest. It doesn't actually blocks me from completing the quest, but just looks weird and give me the feeling that some optional tasks are missed or failed and I might miss some lore 🙁

[grand topaz]

Yep, some completed optional objectives are marked as failed for me.

[crisp nimbus]

Another example is "Voevoda's belongings". I know what it is - ||his recorder and an audio diary|| - i know where it is. I looted items, checked them in raid, survived and succesfully extracted. But in "Batya" quest it marked red, as failed 🙁 In the same time, some of my friends did the very same and their quest shows this subtasks as completed

[mild roost]

Probably just inconsistent

[plush sable]

lore wise do all the traders technically have the knowledge to escape tarkov with the new story introductions? if not, which characters would be seen as having the most power/influence?

[twilit crater]

Peacekeeper and Fence would probably the ones with most influence to leave tarkov

apart from Lightkeeper that i didnt count cause hes not really a trader but more an interactable NPC

[brisk nebula]

Mechanic can leave Tarkov whenever he wants. He chooses not to.

Prapor is related to the overall incident. You’ll find mentions about him in several burned notes and the Kozlov audio evidence.

[robust void]

Yes and no ever played operation raccoon City? You play as a strike team for umbrella and your whole job is to go in and tie up the loose ends
Granted they had communications with overhead and we don't but still

[plush sable]

can you explain a little more on both of those things please

[plush sable]

is there any vids explaining who fence exactly is?

[twilit crater]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DnMHVwz507Q

[quick steppe]

Just finished "Getting Acquainted" but it still says I need to gain access to lightkeeper. Anyone might know the issue?

[iron totem]

That's when we'll get prestige in PvE.

[dusky tulip]

Places in labs to look for the encryption device?

[sour mural]

HOLY they nuked tarkov

[sudden dune]

WHY ARE THE ROGUE GUNS FUCKNING BROKEN

[safe smelt]

Is the nuke thing even a spoiler if we already know that cause of the game review questline

[uneven haven]

Nuke confirmed. TIGZ just beer game. Nuke did get dropped lol

[dire shard]

So that's why I died in a raid??? The world's first nuke kills everyone currently raiding in his region

[reef beacon]

Noice Guy talked about that ages ago

Pretty sure the nuke is Terragroup

[uneven haven]

Apparently it’s the “bad ending”. There’s 4 in total

[reef beacon]

Tho how they got it with the cultists having supposedly disarmed it

Idk

[safe smelt]

Maybe I'm misremembering the questline

[reef beacon]

Erm the bad ending for Tarkov not for you

[uneven haven]

4 endings in total, the one where you give 500 mil to prapor being the worst.

[uneven haven]

Correct, you escape and survive, but tarkov, and everyone else gets fucked.

[safe smelt]

but in the text game the protag's faction was a parallel of the cultists, and they were the ones that gave him the nuke scroll thing so apparently the ones tryna nuke the region are the cultists

[little atlas]

is tigz ending the one where you get the city burning background?

[reef beacon]

Hence why I don't get it

[reef beacon]

Uhhh no that's Terragroup/Cultists

[uneven haven]

@little atlas yes, city gets nuked, you live. Also apparently terragroup brings about the end of the world. It says so in the ending cutscene.

[little atlas]

thought the cult was the gloomy one?

[uneven haven]

Is misspoke lol. The “bad ending” gets you “bleak horizon” background

[reef beacon]

Somehow lmao

Nuke should be Terragroup not uhhh Cultists but yeah otherwise it's an alright ending

[muted anvil]

anyone tried acid green flares on terminal or smoke grenades? They work perfectly vs AI as long as you just afk inside em (Though if they hear you run in can sometimes nade or shoot a few shots blindly

[worthy stag]

anyone have a vid of tigz ending? wanna see this godforsaken city ||get nuked lmao||

[ebon yoke]

whats this an actual warhead?

[ebon yoke]

doubt it was that, otherwise it would have been a lot more violent

unless it had a low yield

[worthy stag]

idk ive just seen everyone saying ||tarkov gets nuked|| so idrk lol

[ebon yoke]

the fighter jet might have had something to do with it but i dont know if its capable of carrying such ordinance + it would not release the payload at such a low distance

the ship was firing at something right before a detonation next to it but i struggle to understand what

had it been a mortar it would not have done as much damage

[ebon yoke]

i have a video of it should you want to see it

[plush sable]

the ending he got is cool but is there actually any info on the inner workings of terra?

like who the people are, names of scientists and exactly what they're doing

how they managed to end the world after the nuke

[ebon yoke]

it does not say they end the world

how i interpret the ending is that the development simply allows them to further their political reach and achieve more influence on a global scale

since they can probably exploit the situation and secure their best interests

it sucks that we do not know much because tigz chose the 2nd shittiest ending

would make no sense to target the city

by russian forces / VVS (presumably?)

[plush sable]

i assume the "utopia" ending will uncover exactly what they were up to and why they are trying to hard to stop us from escaping

[ebon yoke]

i think russians are involved too otherwise they wouldnt limit their efforts

its obvious they are capable of large deployments

we see no traces of ISR or any other air assets throughout the game (of russian origin, at least)

weird

[plush sable]

if its human experimentation specifically, it would be funny if they went down a zombie virus or super soldier route

like they discovered something along those lines

[ebon yoke]

super soldier tehnically still exists, and would be consistent with the lore as we do have the stims quite literally

[plush sable]

and sanitar exists

im only just learning about the lore but it would be nicer if there was more lore on terra themselves

their ceo, who works there, what their global goals are

why they gained so much power in the first place

[ebon yoke]

there is

there was a megathread some while ago

cant find it now though

freom 2019-2020 ish

watch chronicles of Rhyzh + RAID

also read the books

i heard they are a mediocre read at best but they have lore

[pale bay]

Wait so what happened?

[ebon yoke]

large detonation within the city, possibly delivered by a russian airforce (VVS) plane (some sort of fighter get, Su-34 variant? something capable of carrying very/special ordinance)

[reef beacon]

There's hints. Ie Terragroup old lore basically says they wanted super soldiers and a nuke

Cultists are an odd one but I assume they either work indirectly via manipulation or are LK's/Fence people whom have their own agenda

[brisk nebula]

Cultists are the result of a super soldier project. It’s in one of the books. Peacekeeper or his closest alternative is selling data on their capabilities to a buyer. The weapon is 1156, a non-nuclear EMP device detonated by Terra Group.

[storm whale]

The 1st shittiest ending being?

[lucid yarrow]

People are guessing there is a cultist only related ending.

So it’s likely going to be some sort of cultist ending that has you destroy terminal or do something really “evil”

[robust void]

Honestly I feel it's something like that everything that we've got so far is pointing towards Terragroup is tarkovs umbrella corporation

[ebon yoke]

Do we have any information on the final type of ordinance that was detonated right at the end?

[brisk nebula]

Leading up to 1.0 or at the end after terminal? Because I haven't done anything with terminal yet. Gathering notes and completing story quests.

[ebon yoke]

The very end, 2nd worst ending

[brisk nebula]

Unsure. There's talk about Blue Ice being used as an accelerant to increase explosive yield. If I see the explosive, I can make an educated guess.

[ebon yoke]

TG had been researching nuclear solutions but the device (or whatever method of delivery was used) seemed to offer a relatively low yield. It is consistent with a nuclear detonation but I would argue it’s on a rather small scale (and the initial phase seems neutered)

Could it perchance be some form of “tactical” warhead that TG had been working on?

[brisk nebula]

I've seen notes of non-nuclear nature, but nothing that outright confirms nuclear. They are linked to various government offices. It would not surprise me if politicians wanted to scrub the site.

[ebon yoke]

I should mention that the method of delivery appears to be via aircraft (Russian VVS Su-34 variant?) but it flew too close and thus I could be wrong. Also, the ship the PMC was on engaged a foreign projectile via its CRAM (whatever the Russian counterpart is called, cannot recall ATM). Something impacted next to the ship (unlikely to be a mortar). What could that have been? 🤔

[brisk nebula]

Harpoon missile could be an option.

[ebon yoke]

What has been strange is the lack of air operations by the VVS and the Russian elements in general

We see ISR remnants such as the USAF MQ-9, but other than that not much is present

[brisk nebula]

Tarkov has a no-fly zone. It's being controlled to prevent others from knowing about what's really happened on the ground. Peacekeepers are only deployed to 'monitor the situation'.

[ebon yoke]

And from Terminal we can (logically) infer that the Russian Government boasts the logistical, political, military etc. support to continue and further their operations in Tarkov’s AO

[ebon yoke]

Not even military assets?

I imagine the USAF drone had been shot down before the actual lockdown procedure had been put in place

[brisk nebula]

Politicians are the only ones who know anything is happening in Tarkov. Most of Terra Group was packed up and shipped out right before the detonation. I'm under the assumption that those Reapers went down during the EMP blast. There's no marks indicating being gunned down.

[ebon yoke]

TerraGroup operated MANPADs/AA elements or was that someone else? Possibly Black Division?

[ebon yoke]

Possibly but that would be quite the bizarre coincidence

Would be unlikely for them to be there either way

Though conflict had spread even before the EMP, Tarkov is still sovereign territory, or territory that belongs to Russia and thus an air incursion, even one of an unmanned drone is an invasion (and certainly a violation of airspace and international law, much to the dismay of current Russian leadership)

Unless it was a covert operation

[brisk nebula]

America may have had people inside USEC who were feeding them back intel. USEC being a contracting company, they work for whoever pays up. Black Division is in-house PMCs. They mention that Terra Group personnel should not trust USEC contractors after being delivered to Shoreline.

[ebon yoke]

Or could have been used as an asset/auxiliary force-multiplier for UNTAR forces and thus exempt from all restrictions?

[ebon yoke]

USEC is comprised of Americans, that is a fact

I’m sure there’s informants within it

BD on the other hand seems to simply be an SMU for hire

[brisk nebula]

There's no missiles or strike package on it. That means it was probably there for monitoring purposes. It's odd that it fell there. Reaper normally operates at 50,000. An EMP would not stop them from gliding. I'd have expected them to be out of tarkov territory altogether.

[ebon yoke]

BD does end up engaging on TG personnel so we do know they are also hostile towards them, eventually. Perhaps payed by RF/Tarkov leadership or foreign entities, who knows?

[brisk nebula]

It would most likely be The Unheard. They are a shadow group who are composed of various powerful people in different governments. Black Division might be directly beneath them.

I really need to learn more about Contract Wars lore.

[ebon yoke]

~44.000FT (I use metres so I cannot be precise in FT), but yes, high enough to where it should not be affected by it (not to mention it should operate with EW measures)

[ebon yoke]

Definitely makes sense

[brisk nebula]

There's some notes in A.P.'s apartment when doing The Unheard story chapter. Might be more information there.

[ebon yoke]

TG has certainly “collaborated” with other governments (most likely with the British, as they are from the UK, originally)

Could also be the same tactic used by the three superpowers (private MIC/research company that is actually a government project or manned by government affiliated individuals)

[ebon yoke]

I will have to do it, haven’t gotten far in Tarkov due to my aging hardware

[rain wing]

Anyone Else here who lost the Flash Drive for the final quest in the Story chapter: They are already here ? Is there a way to create another Flash Drive ????

[frozen quarry]

hey whats up with this new faction im hearing ab

[pulsar tinsel]

If nikita said that it could be a lie or it could be the truth

Nikita kept the story hidden for this long, I don't think he'd outright say "these are the bad endings"

[stiff swan]

Apparently you have to turn in all the quest-related items fro mthe other story missions to Lightkeeper, maybe he is connected with the good ending

Although Kerman rebels against Terragroup if i understood it correctly so his path might be good as well

[pulsar tinsel]

ima dm you an image

[dreamy tendon]

Has anyone found the “best ending”

[grave gulch]

guys do i need key 314 or chek 13 key for any of the tasks needed to get to terminal?

[reef beacon]

Lvnmark is on that

Probably some others

[tall goblet]

Been confused about part of the storyline and was hoping someone could clear it up for me. If you initially agree to cooperate with Kerman and gather the "incriminating evidence" are you locked into that path or is there another choice to continue working with him or betray him later?

[reef beacon]

Supposedly you can persuade him again after initial refusal

[lucid yarrow]

I have a feeling we might need fence as well for a “good ending” seems pointless to have him suddenly talk to us at lvl 25 and then do nothing the rest of the game

[short stream]

You turn the evidence into Kerman. You need Lightkeeper to do one of the questlines for that evidence.

[stiff swan]

Ohhh, ok nevermind then thats great thanks for telling me

[short stream]

No problem

[stiff swan]

i feel relieved

[short stream]

I am fairly certain that is the good ending. I'm not aware of some other secret content that it could be.

Plus exposing Terragroup just seems like the True ending to me.

[stiff swan]

One of my mates has been bullying me for getting the bad ending since i went with kerman and he went with Lightkeeper, how the turn tables

[short stream]

You do still have to do LK for Kerman, you just don't get to skip to it like you do Prapor. I had to unlock Network Provider the old way.

[stiff swan]

I actually just now noticed, that all the side story missions are uncovering dirt on terragroup lol

[short stream]

Well, to gather all the evidence. Probably don't need to see him at all to get the Bad ending.

Yeah, it's all storylines about Terragroup or the Unheard. Seems to me like exposing them internationally has to be the True ending narratively.

Also it's the one that requires you to do basically everything

LK without the skip, 4.0 Fence, BTR questline, every storyline and every piece of lore collectible. It's the grindiest path.

[stiff swan]

I wanted to go blind into the story, but seems like i would have gotten the good ending anyway

[reef beacon]

Who else has gotten to Terminal I wonder?

Odd we didn't hear anything from the RU or China side of things regarding it

[short stream]

There were RU players waiting for the evac before the US got there. Everyone, including the Wiki New Content Forum, has been copying Sourer's progress/guides.

I think it's more like we just don't hear their side very often.

[autumn moon]

when mechanic needs the 40 BTC to unlock the case.. is that the bad ending he was referring to when they said "pay 500 mil or 40 bitcoin" ?

kinda hard to find any info on all of this

[short stream]

Nikita did say that. I just don't think it's really right. Unless there is some super secret content in here, I don't believe there is another better path.

[autumn moon]

i dont want to trust mr hideout cat but i guess its the way

[short stream]

I'm guessing he means paying the 500m/40BTC and not doing the evidence.

Since that would be infinity times less work

[autumn moon]

yeah thats what im assuming/hoping

[low linden]

Anyone know the options you get if your do or do not help Mr. Kerman after giving the case to Prapor and going through LK to get it back?

Seemingly I'm wondering if I'm the only one that went this route since I don't see any info on it =/

[autumn moon]

man i didnt fully read the 3 notes in zmeisky 3 room for Accidental Witness bc i needed to get out, and they disappeared afterwards and i can't find it anywhere online T.T

lore knowledge gap lol

[covert ridge]

are they in your handbook?

[dusky tulip]

||if you give case back to prapor you pay 300m. if you help kerman you start on kermans path||

[copper walrus]

wow i just watched the tigz video, pure cinema, couldnt stop watching lol

he's pretty nuts at the game

[mild roost]

I never imagined someone would escape this early but here we are. Man's made history

[mild roost]

How good we talking? Like on the level of Desmond or Lvndmark or is he better?

[copper walrus]

for real lol, idk i dont watch either of those guys :D

[lucid yarrow]

I watched Tigz gameplay, I think Lvndmark is still better but Tigz is pretty good although there were some moments during his first run in terminal where I couldn't help but facepalm since he acted like a timmy

[mild roost]

Keeping spoilers to a minimum, how did he fare against Black Division? I heard they were on the level of Knight from Airwingmarine or someone else who tested Terminal early

[lucid yarrow]

Black division aren't particularly "hard" per say its just that there are so many of them it seems from footage. I'd say they're close to boss guard level of difficulty but with better gear than guards.

As long as you play the typical tactics against Tarkov AI (Corner peeking)/Door way funneling they aren't hard.

[mild roost]

Makes sense for them to be like a Boss Guard since having multiple enemies on the level of an actual Boss would be near impossible to manage. Black Division must have some killer gear and from the trailers, they got drip

[exotic gyro]

I think i want to side with kerman and
Not side with the cultists, giving me the semi-good guy ending where i hopefully save tarkov, but die. Aint no way i’m paying 500m roubles and aint no way i’m gonna be able to complete all those side quests 😭 i think “fallen” is my best shot.

[blazing igloo]

Actually let me also ask here, are Black Division exclusive to Terminal or will they start spawning randomly across the regions now since there is conflicting info out on that end

[mild roost]

BSG and Nikita haven't specified that Black Division will spawn on different maps but it would be interesting if they did. But it also wouldn't make sense in my opinion since they seem to be only used for specific missions like retrieving critical intel and killing high value targets. Information on BD is limited right now so we'll have to wait for more lore drops

[mild roost]

There's something about the cultists that interests me so I'm probably going to side with them when I get near the endgame

[blazing igloo]

Just hoping to see the equipment and drip outside of one mission where we essentially end the game and can't recover anything beyond guide book info

If that even stays given it's the new way to prestige?

[mild roost]

They would have the best ammo and plates so having it outside of the endgame mission would be a nice to have

[blazing igloo]

Atleast as a persistent threat and high value loot, especially with no wipes

[mild roost]

100%. Since the story mode doesn't have wipes, there's no real need to do aggressive balancing unless absolutely necessary and having more threatening enemies that could attack you at every turn raises the stakes and makes the already tense experience more interesting and adrenaline inducing

When the other mode with seasonal wipes comes out, it will be interesting to see how it plays out in the context of the story of the game and what kind of lore it may have

[formal cloud]

my question about tigz’s ending who was responsible about the mortar strike there is no way the scavs on their own got organised like that and with a mortar and who dropped the nuke and why (seems from the ending description Terragroup possibly)

[inland wasp]

how did terragroup get a pair of su57 tho? those aircrafts in the ending were russian

seeing tigz' doing the 500M ending makes me wonder if going kerman will have a different terminal scenario with less scavs or maybe cultists instead of scavs and less BDs

(also a different ending scene, probably without nuke)

[formal cloud]

yeah they were russian but why would russia nuke tarkov? in the trailers it was shown that the bears are after terragroup and they are evacing people it doesnt make fully sense they would nuke everyone

[inland wasp]

tbf, russia exports the su57 since this year(algeria) so maybe terragroup got their hands on these? idk, terragroup nuking tarkov makes sense but the aircraft used for it dont make sense at all

[formal cloud]

it makes even more sense terragroup can then frame russia and things go even more south cause it was heavily implied after those events things get a lot worse in the world

[inland wasp]

the only thing the ending explicitly says is Terragroup won

[formal cloud]

yeah hopefully we get those questions answered lets hope landmarks ending is the best

[inland wasp]

he doing the kerman ending?

(well, the one with all side jobs done)

[formal cloud]

yeah he collected all evidence and now he is completing everything else i believe

[inland wasp]

nice

something tells me kerman endings aren't so brutal like the 500M one

(because afaik nikita himself said the easy way out was the hardest one)

[stoic lintel]

Is it possible to get savior ending if you die on the Terminal mission?

[inland wasp]

you have to restart the whole raid if you die in terminal

[stoic lintel]

Ok that sounds… not very punishing

[formal cloud]

tigz didnt but who knows maybe you get the worst ending…

[inland wasp]

it gets funnier when you realize you dont lose anything you had in your pmc when you cross the door to terminal

[formal cloud]

cause in the trailer black division takes the armored case and kills u

[inland wasp]

nah, if you die in terminal you get a raid ended (kia) screen like in normal raids (you dont see what you killed/killed you in terminal)

[formal cloud]

probably yes but we dont know if this applies to other endings

[inland wasp]

im like 90% sure it does

something tells me the you get killed by BD and they take the suitcase thing is from Debtor (where you have to tell prapor you dont have 500M)

[formal cloud]

my hypothesis is you get killed on site or you are told to leave and never come back in terminal

[stoic lintel]

Right my question was if you die on Terminal and reattempt it are you locked out of Savior

[inland wasp]

no one really knows but if its the same as Survivor.... then no you're not locked out, you just have to try again if you die

[wide barn]

Having played against them: They're rogue on steroid. You can still "outsmart" them but if they spot you and you don't have any cover near, you're dead. They have good ammo and a good aim. They're reaction time is relatively low.

If it's possible, I do think that farming ammo/gun on Terminal is the "easy" way to get HL stuff.

[mild roost]

Thanks for the heads up

[wide barn]

I really want to see the cultist end as I don't understand how they're related to TG lore wise.
They appeared after the EMP.

[mild roost]

Some say they were a TG experiment which explains why their body temperature is pretty low and others say they are former TG employees

Don't know which one is the most logical but TG has something to do with it

[inland wasp]

according to lore scattered all over the place they started as a TG experiment that went rogue

my headcanon says they actually hijacked Terragroup after going rogue

[wide barn]

Experiments seems to be the most "logical" as they have a bigger health pool than "normal" peoples.

[inland wasp]

the Blue Flame was their way to get out of the shadows, they were around before that but didnt do anything in the open

[wide barn]

Related to Labyrinth? I did finish the story line but I didn't understand it like that.
For me, it was related to "bigger" things (like the Labys bosses, for example).

[wide barn]

So, you see the EMP as a way to "create their own world" or something like that?
Making Tarkov cut from the world, they can do their things?

[mild roost]

Seems likely given they worship the EMP blast or the "blue flame" as they call it

[brazen vortex]

the 500m was for the nuke no doubt imo

[inland wasp]

you know what
it fuckin makes sense

but then why are russians nuking Tarkov

[mild roost]

It probably also affected them in a few ways but no way of knowing for sure

[brazen vortex]

i think tarkov is just the beginning

[inland wasp]

nanomachines son

[brazen vortex]

heard about this thing called russia 2028

[mild roost]

I'd say Terragroup would probably do that since they did use the EMP on the region

[inland wasp]

russia 2028 IS escape from tarkov (and contract wars+hired ops)

its bsg's name for their inworld lore

[brazen vortex]

i think that will be the next game

[inland wasp]

russia 2028 was cancelled years ago and converted into EFT lmao

[brazen vortex]

you dont think they will make another game set in that time period?

[inland wasp]

100% chance they will

[mild roost]

Maybe even use the same idea they had for the Russia 2028 game. Maybe they'll call it Russia 2028 or they won't but they will use what they learned from Tarkov to make it

[mild roost]

My bet is they'll probably make it like Stalker but without the mutants and anomalies and use the bones of Tarkov as a starting point

[inland wasp]

that was the original idea(without Tarkov in the mix) tbqh

i still want to see norvirsk, we only have seen tarkov

because the region eft happens has two cities, Tarkov and Norvirsk

[brazen vortex]

i looked back at some of the concept art for russia 2028 and it looks kinda like tarkov but in ruins

[mild roost]

It would also be bigger since you would be exploring the whole of Norvinsk and not just Tarkov

My guess at least

[inland wasp]

imagine russia 2028 goes from the nuked Tarkov ending
it'd make so much sense
playing as a bear/usec pmc trying to uncover the truth of what happened when scavenging Norvirsk's ruins

[brazen vortex]

it makes sense alot the concept art from years ago looks like a post apocalypse

[mild roost]

I wonder if you would still run into the Bosses but it would be unlikely for obvious reasons

[inland wasp]

something tells me the bosses actually got out of tarkov before getting nuked

at least some of them did

[brazen vortex]

theres also a concept art from years ago for tarkov of shturman looking at a nuke

[mild roost]

That would make a lot of sense since some of them practically run the region so they would have the resources to get out of the area

[inland wasp]

tbf shturman was the cover character of tarkov for years

even before he got added to woods

[inland wasp]

i bet kaban and kollontay survived

killa probably did too

glukhar maybe did too because of his russian army connections

[brazen vortex]

do you guys think that nuke or whatever it was in labyrinth is connected to the nuke ending?

[mild roost]

His psycho brother probably would've either went with him or got left behind

[mild roost]

I think the bomb in Labrys is the EMP bomb but it would be connected to some degree

[inland wasp]

i somehow cant imagine tagilla surviving the nuke, unless killa put a shitton horse tranquilizers on him to put it in a car

[brazen vortex]

even if they survived the initial blast which would be very unlikely the radiation would kill them fast

[mild roost]

Tagilla probably wouldn't go since he loves Factory but he does appear at Interchange sometimes so he does leave the factory at times which would mean he may go willingly with Killa but who knows

[brazen vortex]

Death from acute radiation syndrome would occur within hours (likely 1-6 hours) due to catastrophic cellular damage. High doses (>10 Gy) cause immediate neurological and cardiovascular collapse, leading to death in hours.

and also the fact if they were within 62 miles of the fireball they could still recieve 3rd degree burns

[mild roost]

Could Killa and Tagilla (If Psycho Hammer guy goes with his brother) have the resources to leave Tarkov before it gets nuked? Hard to imagine since they don't seem to have as many resources as the other bosses

[mild roost]

Another thing to consider is the cultists. What would happen to them? Would they die after the nuke detonates or would they figure out a way to survive the blast?

[brazen vortex]

cancer risk for life realistically and would probably get it if they somehow got through all of that

[mild roost]

Even if they did survive, my guess is they would be heavily disfigured from the radiation but surviving that would be a tall order

[brazen vortex]

i wonder what the other endings are aswell

seems the nuke one might be the worst one but we dont know until someone gets the other 3

[inland wasp]

killa is the guy organising dubstep parties in tarkov, he 100% had the resources

[mild roost]

Makes sense

Imagine going to a Tarkov hardbass event. Would be interesting

[mild roost]

So the one Tigz got was the one where you survive but Tarkov gets nuked?

[brazen vortex]

yes

it ends with you getting into the submarine before the shockwave hit

[mild roost]

Damn

[brazen vortex]

every thing goes to hell before the nuke though

looks like a all out war broke out with jets and all

[mild roost]

So the other 3 would be die and Tarkov gets nuked, die and Tarkov doesn't get nuked and survive and Tarkov doesn't get nuked if I have my facts straight

I remember from the gameplay trailer that there were teasers for 2 endings where you die I think. One is getting on a boat and getting shot and another where you get merc'd by Black Division like in the Raid series

[wide barn]

One would be "you get killed on the submarine" as teased by the trailer.

[wide barn]

I don't understand how your death can be an ending if it's not scripted*.

[mild roost]

You would see what happens before you die

[wide barn]

Like with the submarine or the cultists (eventually?)

[inland wasp]

hovercraft*

[mild roost]

The lore sure runs deep with this game

[inland wasp]

the Contract Wars universe has an incredibly interesting lore

[mild roost]

100%. They cooked back in the day

And seeing that stuff make it's way into Tarkov is pretty good

I hope we get more stuff like another miniseries similar to Raid or another show like Chronicles of Rhyzy since they help to expand the lore

[inland wasp]

Tarkov anime by Studio Trigger when 👀

the potential is offcharts

[mild roost]

My man, you are cooking with gas here. It would look like Edgerunners but with Russian stuff

[inland wasp]

and less outlandish stuff bc its not scifi

[mild roost]

Yes indeed. I can already imagine it. I would love if they made the story follow a BEAR and a USEC. Make it kinda like the trailers and that story arc in Raid where 2 soldiers on opposing factions work together to escape

Now how would it end? Would they die at the Terminal or would they actually get out? Can't decide for sure

[inland wasp]

tarkov is like cyberpunk, there's no happy endings

[mild roost]

I was thinking the same. Happy endings don't exist in these media properties. Either both PMCs die like in Raid or one dies and the other escapes

Both would be fitting endings for a story like this

[crude flint]

someone know how to avoid same ending as Tigz ? kinda got spoiled ALOT because it was everywhere on social media lol.

wanna keep the device or give it to prapor ?

[foggy adder]

We know how to get the best ending?

[feral shuttle]

Has a “siding with cultist” ending been confirmed?

[crude flint]

dont think so but i wanna avoid tigz ending, and idk if giving Prapor the device or not makes me go that route

[steep thorn]

If we go by the leaked ending screens yes, has the lighthouse in the A and cultist esthetic

[twilit crater]

Work with kerman and do all the story side quests

Giving the case to prapor or not does not matter that much but you should keep it

[inland wasp]

siding with kerman but dont finish all quests before going terminal (not confirmed tho)

[crude flint]

Will that give me the ending tigz had? because i dont want to

[twilit crater]

No

[crude flint]

Appricate it! like litterly all side quest not just kappa?

[twilit crater]

You dont need kappa

[crude flint]

I know but you dont need to do all side quest for kappa

[twilit crater]

Side quests as batya, the unheard, labyrinth, etc

[crude flint]

OHH you mean all thoose, ye im already on it! just gott get the device wanted to know before i did if that matter.

not feeling like going for a ending i didnt want to see lol.. so now i know one of the endings i dont wanna go with that one if that made sense. How did he get that endning tho?

[lucid yarrow]

tigz just spedrun the main quests for the ticket.
|| If you refuse to work with mr kerman you will be thrown back at Prapor and have to pay him, and thats the route it'll force you down for the Tigz ending aka the bad ending ||

[inland wasp]

there's an even worse ending than Tigz(in theory)

[sullen lake]

Will verybadscav or glorious get a diffrent ending to tigz if he finishes the game

[gritty nimbus]

Can we go to Terminal map just for funzies at some point or is literally you only go there for the very last mission?

I just redownloaded tarkov after a 2 year hiatus. I'm interested in seeing the changes and escaping the game for real this time

[crude flint]

Thanks man appricate it! Not to much spoil there! Thank you! now im not lookin into this channel anymore haha

[lucid yarrow]

right now all we know is that its only for the last mission

But part of me thinks we might be able to breach it open through a different route/ending so we can return. As seen in the 1.0 trailer where PMCs break the terminal wall with a crane.

[steep thorn]

I hope we open terminal for regular raids, makes no sense having it in the selector if it's a mission only

Or having the yellow bar as a "Black Division incursion" where they roam one or two maps instead of the boss

[gritty nimbus]

Wait Black Division can roam other maps? That's kind of sick. It would be cool to fight those guys

I was mainly asking because of this. It would be nice to actually explore the new map as well.
Also what the hell happened to the 'Town' map that was once shown?

[night heath]

future dlc probably

[gritty nimbus]

Interesting. I didn't think DLC's were on the menu still.
I was under the impression they would pump out 1.0 and then start working on their single player game 'Russia 2028'.
At least that was the plan like 5 years ago lol

[night heath]

nah nikita said many dlc's for future release including [scav life] idk? what it would be about though also he mentioned maps events ect. ill see if i can find the post on x

[steep thorn]

I saw pictures before the patch, but I don't know if they're still are able to do that

[solemn solar]

anyone not able to find notes in A.P.s apartment at the unheard story? Im in the locked room but nothings inside

[edgy kestrel]

where the wine bottle on ground zero

also is it true that killa is lore accurate jew?

[gritty nimbus]

I'm interested to see the tweet. With that said, you can find lots of stuff Nikita has said over the years but never implemented

[edgy kestrel]

yeah but where is wine bottle pal

[night heath]

nikita stated a bunch of future plans on the tarkovtv premiere for release of EFT i cant post the link here but its on youtube

[gritty nimbus]

Find the liquor store and check every single shelf. The wine bottle looks just like the 100's of inanimate objects in the store

[edgy kestrel]

dude ive been in teraagroup building 5 times and still didnt see it

[arctic ice]

Wasn't there a suburb map at one point

[edgy kestrel]

wher eis wine'

[arctic ice]

its in the liquor store NOT terragroup building

sorry NOT

[edgy kestrel]

oh so above tarkbank?

[arctic ice]

I don't remember ground zero i barley play it

[edgy kestrel]

oh so in emercrom checkpoint then?

[arctic ice]

either way i think you shouldnt talk about the actual game in here, go to #eft-chat-2

this channel is strictly story

[edgy kestrel]

wine bottle part of story

[civic adder]

then why yapping about dlcs

thats not story

[edgy kestrel]

gotcha there pal

[pliant rune]

There may or may not be one where black division catches you (it's in the gameplay trailer), but that may just be a reference to RAID since the guys are really tough, omg it's probably one of the "good" endings but I hope there's one genuinely good

[edgy kestrel]

yeah but wherre wine bottle

[pliant rune]

Since you do gather evidence for the good endings, and that was a plot point in raid

It would be very tarkov for the good endings just be that the city isn't nuked, maybe you can both get the evidence and tarkov blows up as a martyr?

[civic adder]

SNOW???

Secret ending
At the terminal a snowfight with black division ensues, and it turns out it was a kid's play pretend
The end

[gritty nimbus]

Question. Is the Loot table as juiced as I'm seeing on peoples streams?
Last time I played BSG artificially turned down all the loot. It was impossible to find even medicore purple items

[night heath]

i would say it was turned up a little bit but the loot table has different percentages of spawning certain items

[unreal owl]

[civic adder]

ARE WE GETTING SNOW???

ARE WE GETTING SNOW???

[snow berry]

id like that

snow is good

good is snow

[night heath]

@gritty nimbus https://youtu.be/1HWnr6L2bEA?si=-aBES48LMJ7suUUm 2:17:50 into the video nikita mention's scav life dlc console version ect.

[inland wasp]

nah, if you gather the evidence but then dont finish the story tasks then you get cultist'd Tarkov

[keen bridge]

what is the lore behind this server crash?🤔

[night heath]

^^ an actual emp went off overhead of bsg headquarters'

[pliant rune]

hideout doors jammed, can't raid I'm afraid

[civic adder]

ARE WE GETTING SNOW???

[night heath]

@gritty nimbus endofline was a confirmed map/dlc with a sneak preview also icebreaker map on the tarkov tv release @ 2:34:48 in the vid

[civic adder]

ARE WE GETTING SNOW???

[inland wasp]

icebreaker map
oh boy, i totally want a map with a metric fuckton metal corridors and so much interior echo we will get tinnitus the moment someone throws a grenade

[exotic gyro]

[inland wasp]

holy shit that was hilarious

[little swan]

Imagine copying and pasting other peoples messages for your own entertainment. Tarkov community toxic as always. SMH

[brave bobcat]

Confused by the wording for the Blue Fire chapter, is the fragment at LexOs on Streets or Ground Zero?

[pliant rune]

It's on streets of tarkov lexOs
specifically (exact location spoilers)
||- Locate and Obtain the Device Fragment (chek 13 Marked in the corner box; inside LexOs closed area in a box on a table in the middle of the room) ||
||https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Blue_Fire (there's an image in the wiki)||
it's speculated it's an evidence item since right after (slight main story spoilers) || you get a reward if you hand it to mechanic, so maybe you can save it for kerman||

is there a ground zero lexos actually or something

[brave bobcat]

gotcha thanks. wasnt sure cause that same wiki page say ||"The device fragment might have been taken by Scavs of the cultists; I should check their spots on Streets of Tarkov and Ground Zero"||

[brave bobcat]

sort of, the building next to nakatiki has 3 lexos signs on the side

[rich abyss]

severs arnt down we just finally escaped

[pliant rune]

somebody mentioned 0.8 update in #eft-chat and I searched for the plans after the update and turns out they finally implemented something after 7 years apparently
https://www.escapefromtarkov.com/news/id/106?lang=en

2018 development plans
(...)
Personal quests.

Personal investigations that immediately uncover the pieces of game plot. Who are the Unknown? What the Cult is all about? What is the Ticket? Why has the fall of Tarkov even started what will it lead to?

practically everything in the post was implemented except

Pre-purchase special exits in advance, before the start of the raid.
god that would've just been insufferable if it replaced a normal extract :D

I hope we can stop the menu simulator stuff after the story is "done" pretty much

[magic iris]

Hi I saw a streamer tigZ he finished the quest to escape tarkov as a bear. Is the finish the same for USMC?

[flat roost]

who is escape from tarkov

[cosmic quartz]

Heyyy, so no post escape content at all? Like why can't we have the After Escape chapter or expansion?

Call it Escaped From Tarkov

[pliant rune]

as far as we know there is no difference between usec and bear for the escape quests, maybe there's a difference we'll find later on since only 1 ending has been completed so far

[magic iris]

Wow what an incomplete game

[pliant rune]

no, like player completion

[fallow trellis]

opening the case doesnt matter for the good ending right?

[fast veldt]

did anyone chose to Keep the fragment of Item 1156 for yourself?

[eternal sparrow]

guys i cant ask kerman about the rfid device but the find objective is failed what do i do?

[autumn moon]

Has anyone kept the device for "Blue Fire" (instead of giving to mechanic)? J/w if it's an inconsequential decision or if it changes the story progression at all

[brisk nebula]

I gave it to mechanic. Nobody has asked for it yet. There may be something with Kerman later.

[autumn moon]

I'm thinking about keeping it. Mechanic seems chill, surely he wont crash out like prapor

Ok, so i kept it and he was indeed pretty chill about it. But now he has no more info to give me and I have a new task to find another lead on item 1156.

[brisk nebula]

@ebon yoke The plane that attacks at the end was a Mig 31

[vestal snow]

how long does kerman ignore you for after giving the case to papi prapi?

[brisk nebula]

I logged in a day later and he gave me the next quest

[vestal snow]

word

[brisk nebula]

use the time to gather the stuff for network provider 1

[tawdry lichen]

does anyone know if you ||refuse to work with kerman|| at any point it throws you back at prapor? I'm now at|| continue searching for terragroup evidence for kerman or refuse||, and I can't find anything that definitively says what will happen if ||I refuse at this point||

[hollow thicket]

current info on this all i know is that if u refuse him it will lead you to having to pay 300m if you gave him the case earlier or 500m if you kept the case

if you refuse him i believe you can only get the survivor/debtor ending

[grand meadow]

refuse to dig dirt on terragroup pay prapor 1mil usd

thats confirmed

[broken remnant]

so is it known at this point how to get the good ending?

[hollow comet]

It's interesting to note that goon squad/rogues are on good terms with the cultists/lightkeeper and judging from the lore, they were probably lowkey aligned

order in chaos yadda yadda

[brazen vortex]

someone got the "true ending"

[versed osprey]

who?

[brazen vortex]

check dms

[tender kelp]

already?

[brazen vortex]

its called for humanity

[ivory aspen]

why not say who did it lol

why gatekeep

[brazen vortex]

i cant even send links here lol

[ivory aspen]

whats their name and is it on youtube or twitch or something?

[brazen vortex]

malrods

i sent it to you in dms

[ivory aspen]

thanks boss

the video is on youtube
poster is malrods
title is FOR HUMANITY
posted about 3 hours ago

[reef beacon]

It's on PVE

I could hide the text via spoiler but dunno how mods would react to that

[brazen vortex]

still beat the game who cares its painful either way 😭

[ivory aspen]

its worlds first either way, PvE or PvP

at least recorded

[brazen vortex]

yes hes the first one to get that ending

[ivory aspen]

i imagine a dedicated PvP player isnt too far behind

[brazen vortex]

he also had to fight killa on that run to 😭 on top of all the black divison

[ivory aspen]

damn killa spawns too? i remember watching tigz fight glukhar but maybe its a random boss spawn then?

[brazen vortex]

random boss can be any is my guess

[turbid socket]

Hi everyone, do you guys see Black division or RUAF outside terminal in other maps?

[storm tundra]

ok im back from my bad after talking about tarkov lore

the lore master is back to answer any questions

[storm tundra]

there is some sporadic info saying that yes they do

however no one can confirm it

one guy is said to have posted a video of a single kill on factory

i believe its true

there must be a really small chance of it

kinda like ultra rare items in game

[reef beacon]

Tell that to the PVP crowd but yeah it needs yo be acknowledged either way

[mild roost]

The fact someone got to the endgame this early into wipe shows how dedicated some people are to this game

[rough wave]

The 1st guy who got it had to play for 10hrs+ a day he did it in 143 he or 134 I can't remember but 1.0 only out 2 weeks and has that many hours is nuts

I wish I could put 10hr days into video games and get paid.

Nope I get to go stand in a lumber yard while it's 12°F tomorrow yay! 🫠

[mild roost]

Tigz got it before the other streamers and those guys are absolutely cracked at this game. I was expecting Pest or Des to get it first

[rough wave]

Yeah tigz is who I was talking about the very very 1st

I never heard of him till that video personally. I follow Pest, landmark, sheff and willerz

[mild roost]

The announcement message on the server was how I found out about him. Even Nikita posted about his victory

[rough wave]

That's pretty cool.

I'm not that far into the new 1.0 story mode.

Are there choices you make during the story that determines the 1/4 endings?

[mild roost]

I've seen Willerz a few times, I have watched Lvndmark a couple times, I have seen Sheef round the block once or twice and Pest is my main Tarky streamer

[rough wave]

@mild roost same Pest is so informative I always send new people his guide videos the rest just seem to record themselves playing and not make to many fucked

[mild roost]

I haven't done Tour yet, still working on Falling Skies and I unlocked Batya by complete accident when I was on Shoreline. I know there's a choice at the end somewhere where you can side with either the cultists or Kerman (I'm going with cultists since I'm biased) but I don't know of any other choices that impact the story. The side missions will influence what ending you get. That much I do know

[mild roost]

I sent a homie of mine his new Raid series for 1.0

I don't really need to watch it other than when I am trying to complete side missions and other quests for the story

[rough wave]

Ya I watch him prettt much every day at lunch

[brazen vortex]

i rewatched the tarkov movie its crazy how we saw how terminal was gonna be 4 years ago 😭

[mild roost]

Raid really set the tone for what we were going to experience all those years ago

Happens in the same fashion in a way. Hole gets blown through the wall and Scavs start coming in

[hybrid swallow]

In the cinematic where the two pmcs go to the port, whats in the orange terragroup case?

i probably didnt listen i mainly watched for the action lmao

[ebon yoke]

If it’s a MiG-31, the warhead is likely a Kh-47M2 Kinzhal which is indeed nuclear-capable and thus is very likely what was used in Tarkov and what appeared in the trailer, flying over Woods

[mild roost]

I don't remember. Maybe it was critical information or some experimental drug but I'll have to rewatch Raid to know for sure

[twilit crater]

Compromising information about TerraGroup

[storm tundra]

in the raid series there was an orange container the PMCs got

if its the same one we already know whats in that one

the USEC PMC says that, that specific container contains info on TerraGroups bio experiments

its a quick line but he does say it

so if we assume its the same one then its full of bio experiment info

[inland wasp]

bio experiments
ah, so its data about the Cultist program

[mild roost]

Could be anything for all we know but it is interesting

[storm tundra]

yeh theres nothing that suggests anything to do with the cultists

we know that some characters and people in tarkov MIGHT have been test subjects

but we dont really know much about the cultists

[inland wasp]

sucks because they're probably the most interesting thing in the lore

[storm tundra]

honestly to me it feels like a spanner thrown into the story

feels a little bit random

although im sure they have plans to tie them into the story

but right now just feels a bit weird

this is the opportunity for their story writers to really test their skill

tying in cultist to a PMC war would be a challenge but if they can do it well then it might just become one of the best pieces of lore

[mild roost]

Zryachiy could've been one since he's a cultist boss

[storm tundra]

yes and also lightkeeper

lightkeeper has ties to the cultists

and he has what looks like chemical burns on his neck

the burns could have been from anything though

also interesting enough in the offical artwork for gulkhar he also has the same burns

in the same place

COINCIDENCE i think not

[rough wave]

Probably trying to make a super solider type program when it went off the rails

[mild roost]

Knowing Terragroup, they would be doing that so they could enhance their Black Division PMCs

[mild roost]

Man knows more than he lets on since he has heavy influence on some parts of the region

[storm tundra]

the stimulants are a hint to possible enhancements

In real life its not forbidden to use chemical enhancements

its just frowned upon

cause of side effects

technically speaking super soldiers are legal

[storm tundra]

this feels true

to me lightkeeper feels like a guy who connects himself with people to advance his own goals

and not out of loyalty

[opal cedar]

what the best video about the lore i know nothing and want a good overall

[storm tundra]

hes using the cultists for something i reckon

[storm tundra]

type in tarkov story lore and tarkov trader lore

the story lore video gives an overall idea of the story

the trader lore video is a bit outdated and doesnt cover all of them

[opal cedar]

ok thanks

[storm tundra]

all good

@mild roost opinions on my theory?

[mild roost]

It's solid so far

[storm tundra]

dude just doesnt strike me as a full on loyalist

at least not to the cult

[mild roost]

He don't have that vibe

[storm tundra]

as for his sniper companion

whos name i cant spell

i would bet lightkeeper either helped him big time or full on saved his life

i reckon mister sniper dude is working off a blood oath

some kind of debt

but to me he feels loyal to Lightkeeper

doesnt feel like mister sniper man would betray light keeper

[mild roost]

Zryachiy's loyalty to Lightkeeper interests me

[storm tundra]

yeh

any idea whats up with his eyes?

has anyone got info on that

almost certainly a human experiment

[mild roost]

He also helps Lightkeeper with a lot of stuff around Lighthouse and Tarkov proper

[storm tundra]

as he can still see

yeh of course

[mild roost]

That's my running theory right now since TG did human experiments in Tarkov at Labs so it makes sense why he would be a subject

[storm tundra]

ok so hear me out.....

lightkeeper was a TG employee who became disalussioned he helped sniper boi to escape and then sniper boi made his own conections to the cult

then through him lightkeeper helped the cult

with the two remaining loyal to each other

but lightkeeper having his own unkown goals

it would be interesting to know if zyrachyie is only loyal to lightkeeper

what would happen if lightkeeper gets fed up with the cult

questions questions

[mild roost]

And since cultists are likely experiments too, someone like Zryachiy would feel at home with them

[storm tundra]

exactly

i think he was the one to introduce light keeper

spending all that time in TG cells getting know each other

also theres dead bodies on the LABS map so something tells me there was a riot or breakout

i dont believe PMCs stormed that place initially

[mild roost]

Zryachiy seems to have helped Lightkeeper set up his operations at Lighthouse and further his interests in Tarkov

[storm tundra]

yeh

which makes me wonder who he is more loyal to

i think if there was ever a rift between lightkeeper and the cultist i think zryachiy would choose lightkeeper

dude has that loyal to a fault vibe

[mild roost]

He is a cultist boss but doesn't dress like the other cultists so that has some merit

[storm tundra]

yeh

alot of his outfit seems to help him in his sniper role

alot of foliage and natural colours

[mild roost]

And he doesn't have those cultist symbols on him like the other cultists

[storm tundra]

yeh exactly

thats what makes me think that lightkeeper did something really big for him

possibly bigger than even saving his life

[mild roost]

Helps him blend in which makes him harder to see. Some say he was a sniper in the army for a time

[storm tundra]

yeh makes sense

tarkov has like no red tape so its possible that he was taken from the army on purpose and tarkov officials turned a blind eye

its established in the lore that the city of tarkov was built for large buisness

alot of illegal stuff went on

and not just with TerraGroup

money over everything

[mild roost]

When it was made into an economic zone, shit went down

[storm tundra]

so people being taken seems right to me

yep

think about it this way.....

elite sniper taken for his physical ability

to test stimulants

and other things

and because of TG influence his disappearence was swept under the rug

bruh can you imagine if that was true and we get a story of a BEAR PMC recognising him

would be cool

its said that BEAR is made up of elite army soldiers and spetsnaz

although truth be told not much is known about BEAR

we know alot more about USEC

USEC fought in the middle east as a purpose built PMC

and built a reputation of complete proffesionalism

which stood out due to the amount of crimes committed by other PMCs

[mild roost]

Explains his eyes and why his vision is so killer, pun very much intended

[storm tundra]

yep

[mild roost]

I saw that in a vid. USEC rarely got involved in controversy which made them appealing to potential clients

[storm tundra]

yep

we even know about the men who founded usec

[pulsar spruce]

i have all parts of botya done but cannot locate where they got ambused, ive been to the place and picked up the things that spawn, their phone at the gravesite is not spawning anyone help X

[storm tundra]

we know actually a good amount about USEC

[mild roost]

An RUAF soldier turned BEAR PMC recognising Zryachiy would make for a cool moment in a standalone lore movie of him

[storm tundra]

mate

absolute cinema

how many things are there in this world that would make great movies

movies that will never be made

although tarkov would either need to be multiple movies or a TV series

[mild roost]

Someone floated the idea of a Studio Trigger style anime for Tarkov which got me real interested

[storm tundra]

im not familiar

i think live action is needed and to make it vicseral

that bathroom fight in the raid series was great

[inland wasp]

that was me!

[mild roost]

Think Edgerunners but with Russian stuff and more grounded and realistic

[storm tundra]

i was really impressed how well the actors made it seem they really wanted to kill each other

[storm tundra]

ah yes

that fight in the bathroom between the 2 guys was great

just going at it

[mild roost]

Great ideas from that convo

[storm tundra]

those two are great actors

[inland wasp]

ikr, it was quite the inspired talk

[storm tundra]

im very satisfied with this convo

[mild roost]

It felt cool but it also felt real. Like genuine hatred for each other

[storm tundra]

it allowed me to speak my theories

[storm tundra]

exactly

[mild roost]

Rare to find that in Hollywood

[storm tundra]

also that pistol shot to the chest

getting eaten by the plate

which is believable cause its only 9mm

who ever directed that series needs some kind of award

[inland wasp]

i mean, if they make another live series with the same people that did raid then theyll have something really cool too

Raid was one of the best live action series ive seen about a videogame

[mild roost]

A Russian director called Anton Rozenberg directed Raid

[storm tundra]

ive never seen a movie or tv series where soldiers continued to fire into bodies to confirm the kill

[storm tundra]

well he needs more recognition

[inland wasp]

two shots to the chest one to the head, two more to the head once he's on the floor
kill confirmed

[storm tundra]

a whole bunch of really realistic stuff

[storm tundra]

yeh but when your in a fire fight you better believe your going to unload into the body

[inland wasp]

fair

[storm tundra]

theres the one shot where one of the bears is in the bathroom and gets killed instantly

but then the usec fires 3-4 more rounds

its a quick few frames

also the guns used werent just normal AKs which i was happy to see

[mild roost]

Gotta make sure your enemy's dead somehow

[storm tundra]

yeh of course

alot of the BEARs were using AK103s

which was cool

and the director didnt shy away from western attachements

felt real

[mild roost]

Some would've run AK-74s which are just as good

[storm tundra]

yes some were

theres a wiki that listed them

the main guy at the beggining was using a AK103

there was an AK104 which was mentioned in dialogue

and an AKS74U

and a few Ak103s and 74ms

also one dude in the first episode has a drum mag

although he drops it and its never seen again

[inland wasp]

yeah they went all out with guns in raid, it was really neat

[mild roost]

Politics shouldn't dictate your equipment choices and I'm glad that wasn't the case for the Raid film

[storm tundra]

all of the weapons seen between the BEARS and USECs are in game

[storm tundra]

yep

[inland wasp]

politics should never dictate fiction

[storm tundra]

if you look closely the Black division was using unique guns

that arent in game yet

there was even an M4 style PDW

[mild roost]

What I loved was how great the sound design was. Some of the Tarkov sounds made their way into the film which made me go "I've heard that in the game" a few times

[storm tundra]

oh yeh

[inland wasp]

there was a ro633 used by BD in raid? never noticed it

[storm tundra]

the first one was an ak reload in the first episode

[mild roost]

I think I know that one

[storm tundra]

dont know what its called sorry

[inland wasp]

ro633 is an ar15 pdw in 9mm

[storm tundra]

theres a wiki online that analysed all the guns that could be seen

yeh thought so

but yes there was one

[inland wasp]

god id love the roro in eft

[storm tundra]

and some other unique ones seen by BD

[inland wasp]

what a cool weapon, insanity rof(around 1000rpm) while being an ar15

[storm tundra]

nice

also we saw some cool shots of USEC HK416s

which is my favourite modern rifle

just peak AR platform

[inland wasp]

famas still isnt ingame

[storm tundra]

you better believe i went straight for that quest in tarkov to unlock it

[mild roost]

My biases point me to the AK platform since I love Russian stuff

[storm tundra]

give us the full auto version

[storm tundra]

im on the fence

i prefer ROF over alot of other stuff

[inland wasp]

so, the G2

[storm tundra]

thats why the AK12 feels so much better

cause 700rpm

[storm tundra]

yep

[inland wasp]

i dig it

[storm tundra]

the G36 at 750 feels great

but 800 is where its best IMO

[mild roost]

I've run it a lot. Great gun

[storm tundra]

yeh

in absolute theory the HK416 should have the advantage in CQB

assuming they are using the same ammo

so many variables of course

[inland wasp]

mfw ak12 with the modernized buttstock
❤️

[storm tundra]

the EKO stock is what they currently use

[faint olive]

Quick eft lore question are there 4 endings or are there some secret ones?

[storm tundra]

in tarkov the EKO stock can only be bartered for

1 vodka

cause of course

[mild roost]

4 confirmed endings so far. 2 where you survive and 2 where you die

[storm tundra]

EVO sorry

any AK105 enjoyers?

[mild roost]

Since Nikita did say most people won't be able to complete everything in Tarkov, I wouldn't put it past him to include secret endings that even diehards will struggle with

[storm tundra]

i was upset they went back to 600RPM for the AK105

instead of the 650 for the ak74

[mild roost]

I've used it a bit. Love it

[storm tundra]

yeh i love it

anyway im gonna go to bed

thanks for the chat guys

[mild roost]

Sleep well. Lore discussions are fun

[storm tundra]

thanks mate

yeh they are

[faint olive]

So possibly a secret ending or 2 but only 4 100% confirmed got it so does that mean the 2 first players to escape both got bad endings?

[inland wasp]

gn flash

[inland wasp]

three confirmed escapes for now, both prapor endings and the good kerman one

and in the good kerman ending you almost get General Shepherd'd

[faint olive]

Is that the bit we see in the trailer

[mild roost]

Tigz got the one where you get out and Tarkov gets nuked

[inland wasp]

no, its not BD doing the Shepherd move

[inland wasp]

tbf in the good kerman ending tarkov gets bombed by thermobaric explosives

[mild roost]

One is where you get merc'd by Black Division and another is where you nearly get the General Shepard treatment from a TG employee

[inland wasp]

not a TG employee but a member of The Unheard

[faint olive]

What's the 4th?

There's get nuked almost get Shephard and last y get deleted by black division

[mild roost]

Ooh interesting. Would they have connections to the cult?

[faint olive]

So prapor has good/bad ending. Is kermans a good or bad? Or is it just an ending

[mild roost]

I classify any ending where you get out alive as opposed to a body bag as a good ending

[mild roost]

There is an option to side with the cultists but not sure which ending that gets you or puts you on the path to

[faint olive]

Jeez so much to think about lol

[mild roost]

And I thought Cyberpunk 2077 endings required thinking about

[faint olive]

Iv been just giga side questing to try and get my level up. Bc after seeing the funny 500 mill I cried

Are there other ways or is it 500 mill 300 mill or 40 Bitcoins. Bc all 3 are well. That's a lot of money lmao

[mild roost]

No idea as of yet

But I'll be saving up a lot of money

[faint olive]

Iv had 100 million once

In pve

🤣🤣

Well

Ig gifs aren't allowed in here

[rocky fractal]

There’s already a ending where you don’t pay any money

[grave spear]

All of them you need to pay something

40 BTC is cheapest

[rocky fractal]

No

[grave spear]

Yes… read the chart.

[rocky fractal]

Debtor ending you avoid the 500 million and help lightkeeper and you never actually pay the 500 million

[grave spear]

But you have to pay 40 BTC.

[rocky fractal]

Bro where tf is this chart cause that’s not what I’m reading

[grave spear]

The one you asked me to DM you.

Which if you read you would know that every ending requires at least 1 big payment

[faint olive]

Omg is that the real Fence

🤣

[grave spear]

Yes, give me your red card.

18 roubles and a high five

Final offer.

[rocky fractal]

How speculative is that chart

[faint olive]

Lmao bold of u to assume I have one
