[desert panther]

dont think so

[peak flame]

got the thing

lets see if mr kerman wants it

ding ding ding

@desert panther ty for the help brotha that was number 7

of 8

<3

[desert panther]

yeah idk why they just put that there and dont say a word about it

and list it as MAJOR evidence

[peak flame]

it probably does on one of the news papers from blue fire

like one line mentioning an interview with kruglov

[desert panther]

because i want to read newspapers and not shoot things

[wooden cliff]

anyone know at what point of working with kerman i get access to network provider?

i finished the tour and got the case for the ticket do i need to grab the jammer on labs?

[twilit crater]

only until you get intelligence center 3 and unlock it through Batya i think

[wooden cliff]

do i necessarily need that? mate hasn’t done bataya and doesnt have intel 3 and yet he has it

he hasn’t done anything but hand the case to prapor and get his thingy on lighthouse

[twilit crater]

Giving the case to prapor unlocks lightkeeper faster cause lightkeeper gives you back the case

not giving the case requires going throught batya

[tropic osprey]

whats the new bathroom key called on woods? its on train depot i cant find it

[graceful violet]

does anyone have the map that helps you get thru terminal with tips and route lines

[brittle ether]

i have completed all the main stories besides the ticket where do i ge the last piece of evidence?

also i seem to be missing a piece of minor evidence?

[frank hatch]

Anyone got some infor on the Kerman evidence bug? It wasn't fixed for my friend

[brittle ether]

whats the evidence bug?

[frank hatch]

6/8 evidence handed in, all stories completed. remaining evidence not spawning

He is completely frozen, he cannot do anything with his story now. can't change path, can't continue.

[novel jasper]

write a ticket

[hollow thicket]

u can miss one evidence if u completed the cultist task line but didnt do it correctly and the other is in a safe on streets

[frank hatch]

He has those, he is missing labyrs research notes and audio tape in the flowerpot on shoreline

[hollow thicket]

so they just aren't spawning anymore or what?

did he do everything required at labyrinth for those to be able to spawn

[brittle ether]

is there a list of the 32 small evidence?

[frank hatch]

yes mate everything is done. we think that it is a bug that if you die after picking it up

they don't spawn for him at all and they arent in his notes

I went to the location and even picked it up on my screen and it wasnt there for him

[twilit crater]

Every piece and tapes from your main story questing

[brittle ether]

yeah im missing one

[twilit crater]

Did you do the secret second objective on Unheard questline

[hollow thicket]

no idea, explain the situation to bsg support, its bound to happen, devs cant account for absolutely everything

[hard copper]

Hello. i have a question for my story progress (the fallen ending) it says on my task i need to have solar panel to craft card to get into terminal, but i have not built solar panel yet but crafted 2 cards, on the ticket task it still says build solar panel, can i skip it and go to terminal ?

[unborn sandal]

It's optional

[hard copper]

ah right, Thanks!

[bright fiber]

Hey anyone else unable to actually contact the bogtyr squad? I am on that step of batya but whenever i go up to the radio i am unable to interact with it even though i have intel 3 /:

[reef wadi]

So what happens with Terminal, story-wise? Does Fence use you as a Trojan horse to launch a full scale assault on the RUAF compound, or is Kerman triggering it so you can actually escape instead of walking into The Unheard's trap that they'd laid out for you? And then it looks like they bomb Customs at the end-end

I've only seen the Saved Humanity ending so I suppose that could also influence things

[twilit crater]

TerraGroup sends out the Black Division a special forces unit of the USEC to raid the place, kill you and recover the Case before you can escape and leak their doings to everybody

[onyx vector]

What is lighthouse ending even about, ||do we become scav or we just watch the lighthouse now?||

[novel jasper]

||u become lightkeepers pup,||

[rapid sinew]

any tips for the coop extracts on reserve and woods? i just called in an airdrop at the coop extract on reserve but no one really shows up (update i got reserve by baiting an ai in)

[graceful violet]

when you go to terminal do they give you your gear in your locker that you came in with or is it a set gear that is in there?

[rapid sinew]

theres a locker with the stuff your brought with you, dont forget to pickup the orange container aswell

i think its only on the savior path tho (the container)

[graceful violet]

you talking about the evidence case

[rapid sinew]

yes, i forgot the name of it

[rapid sinew]

ok i got reserve by bringing an ai scav there and woods was pretty easy i just borught a double barrel and shot 2 rounds at the extract and an ai scav just came there and checked it out. if someone needs help just try doing that

[solemn mirage]

what task do i hand in to the btr and not skier for the ticket?

[sinful crater]

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

[novel jasper]

your gear

and on the table next to the locker is the secure container with evidence

[rapid sinew]

you are also not allowed to do "Killer Argument" not sure tho

[peak flame]

should I bring all 5 batya items with me for LK or do them separately

oh wait you can only do it all at once

[trim idol]

If i died on lighthouse with the cultist one me for the main story they are already here can i still get the best ending for the story if i go back and pick up the notes again or no are the note's gone for good?

[solemn mirage]

have they changed the rep needed for fence for the ticket story line

[rapid sinew]

quick question because im going to terminal in 7hours, if i pick up the evidence in the lockerroom and die, do i have to collect all evidence items again, or how does it work

[rapid sinew]

its 4.0rep fence and 0,4rep for btr driver

[trim idol]

i don't think so i am at 2.35'ish and i am able to do stuff tied to the ticket

[solemn mirage]

fence has contacted me and i need 5 rep, see photo in screenshots

[rapid sinew]

thats not for the storyline, wait ill send a pic

[trim idol]

that's not for the ticket story

[rapid sinew]

send a pic in #screenshots

[solemn mirage]

ive finished all other stories and waiting for fence to contact me, is this not the contact?

[trim idol]

post all the story quest you have in ss

[rapid sinew]

no, it will take ~48h and then you get the yellow call symbol to contact him (visit him or whatever)

[trim idol]

so your going for the best ending i see

[solemn mirage]

ive posted it @trim idol

yeah

been a grind lol

[trim idol]

i died with the cultists note's on light house did i fuck myself? i cant find any info if i did or didn't cuz i want the same ending you're going for

[rapid sinew]

every time you pick up a note just read it in raid it will safe in your handbook. the only things you will need to get with you out of raid are audio tapes and other weird things. Notes you can always just read and your done

[solemn mirage]

so could still be a little while then, i handed everything in about 24 hours ago

[trim idol]

i did read the note before i died but not the badge that was on the atv

[rapid sinew]

yea he contacted me today and i handed everything in 2 days ago

[solemn mirage]

i suppose its not too as im doing the btr quest line atm

which has been the worst part of this whole story thing

[rapid sinew]

i heard some people say that you are supposed to do the last quest from the btr driver when fence asks you to get the btr driver on 0,4 rep, otherwise it bugs out. Also dont complete the quest "Key Partner" from skier, if you do that you wont get the last btr task and you will no longer be able to get the savior ending and it will forward you to prapor and youll have to pay 500 or 300 mil idk

[solemn mirage]

go into raid accept task then extract go into raid do task extract go back to woods/streets hand in task then extract again back into woods/streets accept new task

such a pain

[solemn mirage]

ah i was wandering which task it was

[rapid sinew]

nevermind i mixed something up, if fence asks you to get the btr driver on 0,4 then do the last btr task. thats how i meant it

[solemn mirage]

im still 6 tasks away from last btr task

[rapid sinew]

you will also get 2 keys by completing "Swift retribution", keep the old house toilet key, because you will later need to hand over a tank battery to the btr guy. In that room theres a 100% tank battery spot (as far as i know) at the train depot so you can instantly hand it over

[solemn mirage]

i failed the hot wheels as i didnt get that task lol

i saw plant on some wheels in old gas and didnt think anything of it till i got out lol

[rapid sinew]

oh

well you can still buy the key but i think its like a mil

[solemn mirage]

ive been keeping a battery in my stash for it but i might do that way incase i spawn other side of the map

[rapid sinew]

i just checked theres none on the flea rn :/

i saw them earlier on the flea tho

[solemn mirage]

mule, sj6 and trimadol make it so its not too bad

didnt realise how good trimadol is untill this "wipe"

[trim idol]

how do i get the toilet key?

[rapid sinew]

that also works you can just camp at the usec checkpoint and if the btr doesnt show up till 28:00 then you can just leave

[rapid sinew]

after completing "Swift Retribution" from the btr driver

you cant get it tho if you fail "Hot Wheels"

[lavish coral]

Is there any reason i cant talk to Kerman about this, ive gotten the fail requirement from going to labs, my intel is level 2, and ive tried every soft fix i have seen but i still cant talk to him to progress the story, all it says is "ive torn through lavs and wasted so much time, but came up empty. i should ask Kerman what to do next" but when i go to talk to the guy there is nothing there

[solemn mirage]

what story? the unheard?

[lavish coral]

the ticket

[solemn mirage]

how far into the ticket?

[lofty kestrel]

did anybody else have the armored case disappear after showing it to mechanic?

[solemn mirage]

if near the start of the ticket it might be surviving 3 labs

after the 3rd itll continue

[lofty kestrel]

so i have to run 3 labs raids and survive?

i got the jammer already I figured that was enough

[solemn mirage]

are you stuck on the same thing as cj?

[lofty kestrel]

i dont think so

when I talk to mr kerman it doesn't give me any other option but to end the conversation

[solemn mirage]

can you post a img of your ticket page in the screenshots?

[lofty kestrel]

i sent one

the biggest issue is that it wants me to open the case

but I dont have a case to open it with it just vanished

[solemn mirage]

have you checked the workbench for a craft with the case?

[lofty kestrel]

it shows the craft but it tells me Im missing the armoured case

i can send a picture of it, if you want

[solemn mirage]

please

[peak flame]

check system messages

for some reason it comes back through that

[lofty kestrel]

wtf

yeah i got it

tysm

[lavish coral]

can do

[peak flame]

I had the exact same heart attack bro dw

[lofty kestrel]

i love bsg 😍

[solemn mirage]

have you looted the new black room safe?

[lavish coral]

yes i have the keycard

i actually have two because i forgot if i had one or not

you think its because i have two master keycards?

[solemn mirage]

are you able to start the craft in the intelligence center?

no i had like 5

[lavish coral]

i have the craft i just dont have the rfid

[solemn mirage]

the blank one?

[lavish coral]

i have the black card

[solemn mirage]

blank not black

[lavish coral]

look in screenshots

[solemn mirage]

ah

so you get that after handing 40 bitcoins to machanic and going to the room you get the key for

have you spoken to machanic?

[lavish coral]

i just tried and there is no option to select for it just the normal stuff

i try talking to kerman and i get nothing as well

[solemn mirage]

when did you speak to him last because there is a 24 time gate before you can hand the bitcoins in

[lavish coral]

just now

i got the fail for going into labs like two days ago

[solemn mirage]

for now id just wait till tomorrow this time, hopefully mechanic should get back to you about the 40 bitcoins

[lavish coral]

arent i supposed to talk to kerman before that? talking to him about there being nothing in labs?

i havent talked to kerman yet, because it doesnt pop up. i have tried doing the short craft and restart multiple times and nothing pops up

[solemn mirage]

and you've survived 3 labs raids?

[lavish coral]

i have survived like 5 or 6 at this point

[solemn mirage]

then ill be honest not sure what to suggest other than leaving it for a day and check tomorrow with bsg spaghetti code

[lavish coral]

is this something i need to email bsg about or what?

[solemn mirage]

although frustrating id leave it a day or 2

do you have the 40 bitcoins ready to go?

if not id recommend just focusing that for the time being

[restive saddle]

I have the same issue. I have like 45 bitcoins already set aside. I got the mission failed for the Obtain RFID keycard encryption device objective. I survived about 6-7 labs raid in a row already. Tried staying until there was 10 secs left to the raid then I extracted but no matter what, Kerman won't tell me to go talk to Mechanic so I'm stuck and can't progress. I'm not sure what else I can do.

[peak flame]

for Batya is there an average time it takes for Voevoda to reach out

I know it says "I should wait 24 hours" but the wiki says it could only take 12

[lunar fiber]

When going into the terminal, what do you lose, like is it only the gun and the bag?

[uncut topaz]

you don't lose anything, you will pick up your gear a bit later in the raid in the Armory

And when you die, you only lose the item that you used to enter the map, everything else rolls back to when you entered the map

[turbid stream]

You will also need to grab ur alpha case from mail system if ur doing savior. You will also have to nab it from the armory when spawning in

[rapid sinew]

ive noticed a little update they made about terminal, the armory room no longer gets pushed by black div. kind of makes it harder now or maybe easier i could just sit at the door and they were just running by

(not only the room the entire arsenal building)

[exotic kestrel]

What is the easiest ending to get?

[rapid sinew]

Savior, the one where you work with kerman

ill send a picture of the storyline chart in #screenshots

[exotic kestrel]

Thank you, I think I am on the path of debtor rn

[inner seal]

Hi
In the ticket -> I've delivered all the documents to Kermann 4 days ago and received the achievement "Little Triumphs", but now it says the mission is 7/8 complete even though all the other main missions have been turned in. Can anyone tell me what's missing? When I go to talk to Kermann, the only option I get is "I have to go".
Thanks

[solemn mirage]

have you been to the black keycard safe on streets?

[solemn mirage]

in the cardinal apartment

[inner seal]

Yes, i have all

[solemn mirage]

so your 7/8 on the major evidence ?

and finished all the other story chapters?

[inner seal]

yes

[peak flame]

Including the “transcript with Mrs. A”?

It’s not attached to a story chapter

[inner seal]

Thank you very much, I was missing that note and I have already submitted it

[peak flame]

W so are you waiting for fence now?

[steel solar]

hello dear PMC, some info i need about Mr.Kerman thrusted contact, i need to wait for the new code, any idea how long it's gonna take ?

[peak flame]

It takes a couple days I think

[steel solar]

oh, why it's so long, but anyway thanks for the answer

[peak flame]

Just time gates really, no other reason

[steel solar]

yeah it's like buld you hideout, you take days for searching tools or any scrap required and you need to wait so many hours or day

[lunar fiber]

it use to take 48 hours but now is 36 hours after the 25% reduction to all story mode timegates

[sacred yacht]

hello i need help on the unheard story questline the cargo fax note is not spawning despite the objective saying "learn more about terragroups activities"

[lunar fiber]

as long as you have all the BTR missions completed then you should be able to do fences mission quickly then begin the craft/ go to terminal soon after fence contacts you

[steel solar]

i do the BTR, because thoses mission are fun, but it's because i use a lot of is service and you gain a lot of money and important componant for you hideout

but i didn't know BTR mission was required, i'm trying to get th info myself to avoid spoil

but yeah happend some time i get stuck to find a shitty paper XD

so i ask for info

[lunar fiber]

that's fair, it doesn't matter what route you take on the BTR storyline, the only thing is you can't betray him (do any missions for LK or Skier) and you need to get to and complete the mission 'Price of independence' (end of his storyline)

[steel solar]

it's already done, who like Skier anyway this guy is a fucking bandit

[lunar fiber]

btr is such a g, I love him

then you are set

[steel solar]

so i needto wait for fence

did i need to reach level 6.0 of rep with i'm only 5.53

[lunar fiber]

yep, there is nothing you can do right now other then prep kits for terminal

you only have to be 4.0

[steel solar]

ok done, i'm gonna enjoy the terminal i thinks

i just know a bit about the black division

[lunar fiber]

yeah I am crafting cards rn

[steel solar]

but i want the surprise

[steel solar]

the last card after the one you recreat from Kruglov

[lunar fiber]

my only gripe with the story mode, is that we didnt get a story mode mission (side mission) focusing on the Goon Squad

[lunar fiber]

yeah it is a 8 and a half hour craft

[steel solar]

yeah those guys are important in Tarkov, ex USEC and become warlord

[lunar fiber]

I honestly would love side missions that explored their tightening hold on tarkov

[steel solar]

and i love when Birdeye shot me 400 meter away in shorline or lighthouse

[steel solar]

they need to put more lore around the goons and peacekeeper

[lunar fiber]

or if they would reach out to you looking for you to side with them as your infamy grows in tarkov as a threat.

also while Black division can be scary, they are more tanky than scary

I am running SSAP and 995 mix in my mags and even then they are a little spongy

[steel solar]

oh, like shadow of tagilla ?

maybe a bit less

[lunar fiber]

a bit less, they are wearing more protection and their head armour is a lot weaker

they just run around a lot so it is easier to miss

yesterday, the black division squad which charges the armoury just around it like sharks encircling its prey and wouldn't enter the building

[steel solar]

armoury ? wich map

ah terminal

[lunar fiber]

Since, I was prepping for an 8-man charge, it ate into my time a bit since I was worried to push out, but when I realised they wouldn't, come in they became easier to kill

[steel solar]

depennd of how the AI for the BD are programmed, like push or just waiting like Partisan or some bosses

[lunar fiber]

I did see this message, i dont know how far along you are in the mission

trying to think

[lunar fiber]

they are mainly pushing, since they use their numbers and heavy armour to their advantage

[sacred yacht]

its literally the first objective after picking up the purification note on streets

[steel solar]

i'm need to wait for Fence or other Mr.Kerman friends

[lunar fiber]

did you go to the terragroup office and get the note or is this the one not spawning

[steel solar]

i just activate the Kruglov restored card at shoreline and give all the evidence in Kerman

when you found some notes about Prapor, and after completing the Batya story even Ligthkeeper is a asshole

[lunar fiber]

I know you are waiting, I am talking about Gato and their inability to start the unheard side mission.

[steel solar]

oh ok sorry mb

[lunar fiber]

you also need to get the cultist book which you get nearing the end of 'they are already here'

https://youtu.be/X9owGR8C6ik?t=35

I can't share photos in here, but this video at the start shows the two items needed to continue with the storyline.

[sacred yacht]

i had already finished that questline i went back just in case and book isnt there

[lunar fiber]

do you already have the book in your notebook? if not I am unsure if you can trigger its spawn again

[sacred yacht]

yeah i do

my friend was able to get the second note in med hut of labs and progress to the next objective without the first note

but im worried it may mess with the progression of the ending if we are missing that note as we are going for savior ending

[restive saddle]

I still don't know what to do to get the dialogue from Kerman to go talk to Mechanic to pay the 40 Bitcoins. I tried everything but I can't get Kerman to talk to me.

[stuck finch]

31/32 minor items, missing Leshy's Diary, have completed the chapter as a duo, does not spawn after for us, have tried dieing then going back, close/relaunch game, 4/4 it not being there and its all i am missing.

Would going solo (local or bsg servers) or with someone else who hasn't completed that story chapter make it spawn by chance?

[lone lark]

can you carry me

[craggy trellis]

So what are the exact beliefs of the cultists?

[covert ridge]

it probably explains ingame through some of the notes from story chapters related to cultists and the 'blue fire' which i forget all of the exact details of

but they definitely worship the blue fire

[craggy trellis]

I mean they seem vaguely transhumanist, judging by the book from they are already here talking about a "Higher Mind" humanity should ascend to

[torpid locust]

I was under the impression the cult worships The Unheard

[small shard]

can someone who stashed the amulets for lightkeeper already msg me real quick?

[torpid locust]

there are lfg chats for this now

[small shard]

no its not about getting help to stash them. I just wanted to know: Do i have to have all with me or can i stash them 1 by 1. Do i even need to take them with or does it work from stash (that one is cope but hey xD)

[eternal glade]

In The ticket, i crafted the RFID Keycard activated, and now its sendign me to shoreline, do i have ot have the keycard soemhow on me or no?

[covert ridge]

yes, it goes in one of your special slots

[torpid locust]

If its an amulet, you can only have one on you at a time

[craggy trellis]

I was given the impression that they worshipped the knowledge they provided more, with the Unheard being the priests

Anyone know who the "new contractors" are? They're mentioned in the a.p tapes for the Unheard. Black division?

[torpid locust]

I thought The Unheard/The Wardens were mainly prominent members of TG that have infiltrated the company to further the coming of the new world. The cultists, priests and etc., are recruited to make the plan happen.

I'm thinking The Unheard is the EFT-Contract Wars Universe equivalent of "The Illuminati" or The "NWO". Where members of the cult infiltrate facets of world politics and global private entities to culminate an event that leads to their ideal world

[small shard]

no its the special ones for the ticket questline last quest before terminal

[torpid locust]

Ooooh my b. Why not take them all?

[small shard]

well if i spawn sht and die on lighthouse i have to go open 6 marked rooms again

unavoidable ig but annoying

[craggy trellis]

It does seem to be that way, because Unheard has agents outside of just TG and Co. The book of the arrival seems to paint them more as Prophets or priests, rather than the actual center itself. "The gods will die. Knowledge will live. Knowledge is more important than the heart!" And "The Priests have access to fragments of the Unheard Knowledge." The Unheard seems like the name for the people who provide the knowledge, not the object of worship.

They also are definitely transhumanist to some extent. "But this time, living thought is Destined to become one with artificial thought. The rebirth is a transformation and a merging with a more efficient Higher Mind."

[torpid locust]

Tin-foil hats on: Maybe the "new world" is supposed to be some collective hivemind and the blue flame, with the blue ice catalyst is supposed to somehow be used for a singularity event for them to "ascend" to this

[craggy trellis]

Nah, the blue ice and blue fire (wow they really like blue) seems more like a way of eliminating threats. You know, using blue ice to fuck over major military operations and blowing another object 1156 over major installations or cities, like they did with tarkov

[torpid locust]

I agree, but Tarkov was reactionary, it was also a prototype that was used, so it was a test. Something bigger is in play here, especially if we already know who the players are

They used it to wipe (most) all of their intel because prying eyes were getting too close

[eternal glade]

thanks, and im pressuming major evidence is each capter complete correct?

[covert ridge]

pretty much yeah

[eternal glade]

although i have 4/8 and and i have 3 chapters (excluding ticket) missing

whats the last one?

[covert ridge]

i cant remember if theres one chapter that gives you 2 major evidences

it may be that, 2 from batya

[eternal glade]

would make sense, i have to get lightkeeper which i really despise doing

and btr driver quests aswell

[covert ridge]

i was wrong one major evidence might be hidden in one of the story related rooms you have to unlock and go through, if you're following a guide it will probably tell you what you need and where it is n what not

[eternal glade]

i have all questitems ready,. but just need to kill 15 pmc on lighhouse

[eternal glade]

ye i googled it i know hwere it is now

[covert ridge]

okay sweet

[covert ridge]

i went for saviour ending in pve so it wasnt too bad, more grindy than anything, sounds like a fun experience doing all of that in pvp though lol

[eternal glade]

ye, i did kappa so now im kinda empty

so decided to do atleas ending

but i regretted it real qucik whne i found out i need btr driver rep + lightkeeper

[torpid locust]

I can understand making a fancy EMP for armies, that's something that can be marketed publicly; disruption and jamming equipment are already in circulation. Sure they can get into the market and win big with it but, they certainly want something more than solid defense contracts.

[dense sleet]

Trying to understand, is Lightkeeper a good guy or does he work for the Unheard? I am not too far into the story, focusing more on kappa related tasks before doing the quests.

[fathom lava]

https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/The_Ticket#RFID_card_encryption_device_Location for some reason im stuck on this step i dont understand what i should be doing

do i need to spend 30 minutes in 1 raid in labs?

in total?

[torpid locust]

I bet he is an Unheard

[lucid yarrow]

Do a couple labs raids and it’ll unlock the next step

[fathom lava]

ive done a LOT of lab raids

[bright kestrel]

I have Reprogrammed keycard for A.P.'s apartment lock (Green) for the main story mission The Unheard.

Got 4 more uses so DM if you want to use it, trades appreciated as I am saving up for the 500m ending.

[torpid locust]

Yes

[fathom lava]

but the raid timer is 30 min

im i meant to go mia? lol

[torpid locust]

My b meant to respond to the second message

in total

[fathom lava]

bvut like

ive been playing a lot of labs these past days

ive got the master keycard from the safe

the blank rfid

[torpid locust]

Do you take it each time you go in? I know it'll still spawn in the safe even if you took it out of raid already

[fathom lava]

yeah its in the stash

[torpid locust]

I think you're supposed to take it out of raid once, then do the 30 minute thing without interacting with the card after that. if that makes sense

[fathom lava]

😭

why would it be like that

wait what do you mean

you mean leave it in the stash or bring it back with me to another raid?

[torpid locust]

Idk. but yeah try that. if you already have the card in your Task inventory, leave it there and don't interact with the new card spawn in raid

[fathom lava]

yeah i do that

like always

[torpid locust]

Maybe after your next labs run just check in the intel center, maybe it'll just register at some point

[restive saddle]

I have the same issue. The objective to find the encryption device failed but when I talk to Kerman he won't give me any sort of dialogues. I have survived about a dozen lab runs at this point. Multiple runs had less than 5mins left. It's been 2 days and I can't progress.

[peak flame]

will batya inform me of when LK has the documents ready or do I just need to go check

[trim idol]

I'm on the quest step to craft the kord badge for they are already here but my intel lvl 2 does not show the craft but my task says i have the badge so idk whats wrong? I did die on lighthouse with the badge on me but that should not have messed it up right

[peak flame]

restart game

[trim idol]

omg thank you

wait but now it say's 0/1 for the damaged badge

[peak flame]

you said you died with it

gotta go get it again

[trim idol]

yea but its in my task iteams

and when i went back to get it again it was not on the atv

[peak flame]

hmm

idk then

take it out of stash and put it back in?

[trim idol]

i cant it's not in task iteam's it's in the related iteams area

[peak flame]

then idk

[peak flame]

@desert panther have you completed the batya chapter?

[graceful sun]

I have the same issue. Since 3 days no dialogue

[restive saddle]

I tried a lot of different fixes that seemed to have worked for some other people but whatever I do it doesn't seem to trigger the dialogue. I opened a ticket with BSG maybe I'll get some help from them.

[peak flame]

I went to lighthouse and the documents for Batya were there and I picked them up but its still telling me to wait for lightkeeper to prepare them

anyone know if Im boned

I already gave it to Mr Kerman

[restive saddle]

It seems a lot of chapters in the story are bugged out for some people

[peak flame]

well I mean

I have the documents, Im just gonna wait and see if it updates to find the documents or whatever

and then read them cause its in my handbook

[restive saddle]

Yeah as I mentioned earlier I have also a bug where Kerman won't talk to me so I can move to the next step of the story

A bug that a lot of people seem to also have

[peak flame]

okay so I found out

once the objective updates all I gotta do is read the documents again and Im good

[potent dune]

Hi really new here. I'm doing falling skies and located the plane and got task complete with nothing else to do and then extracted. But when I get back to my home screen it doesn't show that I've located it at all

[cyan holly]

Hi i have a question. I want to go for the Lightkeeper Ending. I handed 3 mayor evidence into kerman and then stopped working with him and i got an Achgievement for it. now to progress further with the ticket i need to speak with all traders how to escape tarkov... but it says i only unlocked 10/11 and i cant speak with peacekeeper ? how do i progress further ? is it bugged ? or jujst timegate ? help ... i feel like im f-ed here. is there any trader i have to speak with ? i finished tour i unlocked lightkeeper and i did some btr quests but it says only 10/11 unlocked and that i need to complete the tour... wich i already completed.

[gray escarp]

You need to speak to lightkeeper

To do so you need to unlock him trough normal means or like advancing in bagatyr questline to recieve the network requirment quest

Which is a questline unlocking you Lightkeeper

Am tarded you already unlocked him

Have you tried speaking to lightkeeper afterwards then ,

On wiki it says to speak to him

[cyan holly]

I unlocked him already bro ... I'm almost finished with his tasks too the 50pmc kills on streets ....
I spoke with him already he doesn't say anything.... I guess imma wait another 12 hours and then see ... I rly hope I'm not bugged ...

[indigo timber]

was it explained why we are so important that even lightkeeper knew of us before the war

or atlest before we woke up in ground zero

tbh i kinda think we were stimmed to hell without our knowledge and how we come back from being killed

[rotund socket]

out of curiosity

whats the "lore" on bosses not dying

[severe smelt]

??codes

[barren agate]

Redeem your goodies → https://www.escapefromtarkov.com/promo/activate (Or launcher → your name → activate code)
SBEUKOMAR | SCAVYBOI | GOONSQUAD | LIGHTSOUT | PAY2WIN | ELVISVISTA | ju20fu2620idfh88

[median basin]

what is the easiest way for getting lightkeeper unlocked

[elder iron]

drugs

[twilit crater]

give Prapor the case

[low gulch]

I can't find the option to open the Armored Case anywhere in my workbench, is this a bug?

[spiral gale]

Is Ref that one politician we keep seeing on posters in Streets of Tarkov?

[torpid locust]

I thought in the lore, aside from the Sanitar tasks, when you "kill" a boss in raid, they're "defeated" in but still alive in the greater narrative

[twilit crater]

restart your game and doubld check

[low gulch]

It worked

[spiral gale]

it's the same lore as your pmc surviving getting shot in the head

when you kill a PMC in raid, they're dead. If you get got, you're heavily wounded but survive

[solemn mirage]

||in prapor 500m ending he asks for you to find 4 folders on labs, ive check the spawns and they arent there how do i get them to spawn?||

[drifting girder]

prapor or kerman?

[solemn mirage]

prapor, a friend failed the interchange major evidence by not pressing the button and had to pay 500m, after that he has 3 tasks to do within 72hr but the foldrs on labs arent spawning

[strong nova]

anyone have a way to fix the they are already here bug, killed both priests and it still says kill 2 priests

[trim idol]

I finished "They are already here" and read the note from mechanic and while the game gave me the achievement and say's i finished the quest line, I still have the ARRS station mechanic's note in my task item's is this going to stop me for getting the best ending from the story?

[gray kite]

Anyone else been stuck in Batya when you contact ||the Voevoda squad|| through the radio but it doesn't give you the code given through ||Strelet's Note||?

[gritty crow]

Do you get a physical activated card for the terminal scanner?, it was not popping up after i just finished the craft to activate the card

[dusty crow]

Did tarkov just fuck me outta the savior ending - I talked to kerman to hand in major and minor evidence but after the 2nd one he's not letting me turn in anymore and just has the dialogue option "Is this enough" to which he says "No I need more" and then I only have "I can't find the rest" or "Its taking too long". Doesnt either of those options lead to debtor/fallen?

[barren robin]

I had to restart my game to fix this, after restart there was double dialog options if you used the lower duplicates it would allow you to turn in more intel until all were turned in.

[dusty crow]

I will try that, big thanks

[covert ridge]

no, thats Mutkevich, but hes in Chronicles of Ryzhy season2 as i think the 'leader' of the cleanup crew scavs for the arena

[next path]

whats the meaning of the light keeper ending (debtor)?

How would you guys rate it? Neutral? Semi bad?

(I dont have much knowledge on the meanings behind the endings except saviour and the uh bad one (forgot name)

|| I know the other ending is deemed also "neutral" but im curious how debtor compares. ||

[turbid stream]

Don't know much about the lore but from everything I've seen the ending is ||"bad". Your selfishness allows terragroup to prosper, you escape at the cost of everyone else not realizing the monster terragroup is. And now for doing so tarkov will haunt you even after your escape||

Pretty much every ending but ||savior is bad because that's the only ending where you actually attempt to do any good. All the others are selfishly motivated to the point its straight up evil||

[unique canopy]

Anyone able to help me understand how my savior storyline went side ways and now im stuck with debtor?

[unique canopy]

Did this work for you? Because it just forced me to talk to Prapor...

1.0 Ready...high quality game here

[dusty crow]

I’m just waiting until batya is fully complete before talking to Kerman again. I couldn’t find any info so I asked ChatGPT and it said I was currently safe, as long as I turned in all side evidence at once so hopefully tomorrow I’m not fucked.

[covert ridge]

did you side with Skier during BTR questline
or possibly accidentally refused to give the rest of the evidence to mr. kerman

[unique canopy]

No

Sided with BTR Driver and finished it

did not refused to give any evidence

i gave 2 pieces

and he said he needed more so i was like ok

and i had all the other main story quests done

so i figured iw as just turning more in

then i got the double dialog option

and i apparently clicked the wrong one of the SAME statement

[covert ridge]

ah yep

[unique canopy]

because 1.0 ready, high quality game

[covert ridge]

thats probably what did it

[unique canopy]

absolute trash can

[covert ridge]

because i think after you give him 2 evidence, you can decide to tell him to fuck off and then it will change your ending to debtor

[unique canopy]

so fuck it, they can keep my money, done and moving on to somethign that isnt a giant piece of shit

Also, if thats what happened, why didnt I get the Uturn achievement?

probably because 1.0 ready, high quality game

[lost wyvern]

anyone also having problem with the waiting for kerman to contact you after you failed to find thr rfid device on labs

[unique canopy]

1.0 Ready, high quality game

[vestal walrus]

i do, and no idea what to do about it

[runic nacelle]

im stuck at the same part aswell

dont know what to do about it

[dusty crow]

Nope didn't work for me :/ restarted 10 times in total

[stiff slate]

Are you supposed to wait to turn in everything together?

[unique canopy]

I dont think there is a fix. Poor game design just wasted hundreds of hours of peoples time. Great Work BSG!

[unique canopy]

I had everything done before i reached that point, and I still bugged out for me. So I dont think that is going to fix it either

[frank hatch]

Has anyone found a fix for kermans evidence not spawning? Still stuck on 6/8

missing:

Labyrinth facility research report

Audio tape with incriminating evidence

[pearl lark]

@frank hatch you missed one of the pieces, the 7/8 is in the cardinal apartment. You need a black card to open the safe it's in.

[lucid yarrow]

Have you sniffed through all the scientist dead bodies for labyrinth chapter or did you gloss over them?

Also audio tape with incriminating evidence was from the accidentally witness I believe? And may have been in the mailbox and you missed it (I don’t remember)

[frank hatch]

@pearl lark @lucid yarrow The labyrinth research note should spawn at the sewer by the pier on shoreline but it’s not there.

The audio tape with incriminating evidence should also spawn on the plant pop in shorelines village.

Are you guys saying there is multiple spawn locations?

[earnest frost]

Who is elektronik?

[pearl lark]

@frank hatch the tape you are looking for in the planter isnt in the tape box, its on the other side of the shovel in the dirt, and hard as shit to see.

[frank hatch]

I searched, it’s not there 😢

I also took my friend to the labyrinth notes spot and he picked it up for his questline but it’s not there on my screen

[tawdry igloo]

BEAR bad USEC good

[lost wyvern]

yeah ive been stuck on it for a week now and still nothing

[solemn mirage]

8 hour craft time for the keycard is a pain

[rugged wharf]

Has anyone found a fix on the kerman dialogue not displaying after you fail the encryption device?

[short garnet]

anyone doing debtor ending

[desert panther]

not quite

[tawdry igloo]

I don’t like BEAR, you’re wrong to me

[peak flame]

yo for the BTR driver rep, if I have unheard do I still need to do the price of independence or nah?

[dawn wharf]

you gotta do all his quests

[peak flame]

okay let me ask this then as well

should I have intentionally failed hot wheels or not?

or does it matter

[covert ridge]

you marked the wrong ones

he should give you another attempt at the quest, the tires you need to mark are on reserve

very first time i did that quest i marked tires on customs near crackhouse and failed it too

[peak flame]

I marked the ones on reserve, Im not confused on how to do his quests

[covert ridge]

oh hm

[peak flame]

im asking does it matter if I fail it or not for his rep

cause technically you get more from failing it

[covert ridge]

you lose out on 0.01 rep

[peak flame]

actually you gain .02

[covert ridge]

hot wheels 2nd attempt will give 0.02 rep but hot wheels without failing is 0.03

[peak flame]

I think

nevermind

actually you lose .02

my fault

[covert ridge]

the btr driver rep is kinda new i think so im not 100% sure

i dont think you can even check your rep with him ingame

[peak flame]

would be nice if he actually decided to spawn

80% on woods my ass

[trim idol]

try street's unless you need him on wood's

[peak flame]

doesnt have to be on woods but I prefer woods

[trim idol]

i find him easier on street's due to how close the stops are to each other

[indigo timber]

so far in the story USEC and BEAR got left high and dry after the contract wars

both people supporting them saw them as liabilities and of no use and wanted them dead

and usec were just the hired grunt work

not the guards to ultimate evil that would be ||the black division||

[turbid stream]

Black division are better because they have DRIP. And in this hellhole that is tarkov its DRIP OR DROWN BEAR MAN!

[plucky turtle]

Does Anyone know what the top of labs looks like and/or where it is

[worldly fractal]

hello guys, im at the part of the ticket quest where i need to hand in major evidence and its currently (7/8).. i read on reddit that i need to go to cardinal apartment on streets and move the painting on the wall and swipe a black keycard to open up a safe and get the last part.. however im right there now in raid and i moved the painting and im not getting a prompt to swipe the keycard for somereason.. i tried reconnecting and im still in raid but nothing is working i can't open the safe

[warm meteor]

I had the same it also didnt count as a swipe of the card. Most important is to get the bitcoins to pay mechanic

[craggy trellis]

I know why usec was left at the curb by terragroup, but why bear?

Was it Unheard agents or just good old Russian governmental incompetence

[small notch]

i never swiped i only opend lol

[manic lark]

in the batya quest do i have to give lightkeeper all the keepsakes at once or can i do it 1 at a time?

[trim idol]

all at once

and if you die with them on you, you need to recraft the tapes and find the other iteams

[indigo timber]

Contract wars pretty much and the unheard infiltrated Russia and it's government as well. You can even make the argument the unheard made the bear to kill off usec sense they did see a lot of what terra group did

[lean garnet]

when u got faild with obtain the rfid device, when kerman said to you to go to mechanic ? i was waiting 48 hours still got nothing from kerman.

[restive saddle]

A lot of people have this bug including myself. Nothing to do except wait for a fix.

[slim wing]

i think a way around this is to craft something small and collect

[unique canopy]

did they ever fix that double dialogue thing or is the game still a piece of shit?

[short bone]

Question before I crashout. If I've completed 'They are already here' but don't have the 'When the light fades' achievement am I hosed from getting savior ending, even if I still pushed the button to zap the data in the station? (I listened to both audio tapes fully in raid)

[small notch]

i dont even see ''when the light fades'' achievment

and ive completed the savior ending

[covert ridge]

it's not on pve cause pve doesn't have hidden achievements i believe
but if you're on steam then you will get the achievement on steam via doing it through pve (atleast i did in my case)

[small notch]

fair

[nova gate]

Anyone know how long it takes for kermans trusted contact to reach out with the new hash codes?

[fickle storm]

Do I give the fragment to mechanic?

[grim timber]

took me about 36 hours

[twilit crater]

doesnt matter if you do or dont

if you do you get a mil

[nova gate]

🙁

[uncut oak]

im guessing the whole scene was too politically radioactive so they cut losses

[craggy trellis]

Can't displease the glorious leader🫡

[umbral tundra]

Hey guys, quick question, i just unlocked "The Ticket" chapter and i was wondering, what is the time gate for the "Wait for MR. Kerman to reach out" objective? Thx in advance

[craggy trellis]

So what is the arrival? Is it like super-Rapture or something else?

[grave spear]

Cultists are essentially a doomsday cult

They are working under The Unheard behind the mask of TG, || their plan is to bring forth an apocalypse and take control of the world ||

[vapid patrol]

@grave spear and what about 'Transcript of conversation with Ms. A.'? according to wiki it not related to any quest, but I dont have that note

[grave spear]

Literally stereotypical movie villain

[grave spear]

Cardinal apartment safe

In the black card swipe

[grave spear]

Tarkov is just the precursor for the Unheards plans, like a catalyst to set their plans in motion

[vapid patrol]

fuck man
I don't want to play that game anymore, so sad

[lost vault]

is this where people are figuring out the cypher from nakitas posts?

[static acorn]

Anyone run into the bug of getting a call from mechanic but when you visit he has nothing to say? I just searched the lab for the RFID encryption device, didn't find it like you are supposed to, no message from Kerman, but now I have the call notification from mechanic but no message. I have restarted, started crafts, gone into raids, not sure how to fix.

[craggy trellis]

From what I gathered I assumed the plan was to detonate a lot more object 1156s over major cities/military installations and take control from there

[grave spear]

The only copy we know of is the one under Labrys, which was an unfinished clone they never got to use

[craggy trellis]

Yeah and the use is tarkov was definitely not planned, they were scrambling to use it and were unsure how or if it would work

But the fact it is a prototype and there are copies implies they at least wanted to make more

[grave spear]

No, it was planned

Read the specification evidence piece you get from “Blue Fire”

It explains the use of it at an elevated surface being critical

Which is where it was detonated, at the top of TG tower in ground zero

[unique canopy]

They should have hired someone with some creative thought to write this story. Its like a 9 year old just combined a bunch of things together like "Enemy of the State" "Resident Evil" and "The Sum of All Fears"

its such dogshit

[ebon yoke]

My question is, what is the lore in the end?

There used to me a lore mega thread on the foruam but i can no longer findit

[torpid locust]

@craggy trellis I think you're both correct, Obj 1156 was still in its testing phases before the RU state began investigating. While Tarkov/Norvinsk was an intended target, the one detonated on Ground Zero was in fact a prototype deployed prematurely to wipe evidence of TGs activity.

[torpid locust]

Just watch EFT: Raid on YT

[ebon yoke]

i did

i read the books as well

but things are still missing

we dont have quite the full picture

not a lot of info on the contract wars or the minor skirmishes before the joint OMON-FSB raid on the TG HQ, or the busses that had been planned for evacuations before the raid (as is told in the first book by a former police officer)

or USEC involvement in africa (beyond a couple snippets)

or USEC-BEAR conflicts abroad

know what i am saying?

[tough needle]

Theres books for Tarkov? Or is it just about the contract wars

[ebon yoke]

yes there are some books written

https://www.amazon.com/Predator-Escape-Tarkov-Alexander-Kontorovich-ebook/dp/B07B9HZYCT

only one i can find now though

predator is basically the first vol

also voice behind and master of the night (?) i think

[tough needle]

So this is following a scavs pov?

[ebon yoke]

no

a (former) TG employee

[lucid yarrow]

Usec involvement in Africa is due to Terragroup gathering resources in Africa particularly suspicious materials that are the same ones used in wmds. Also to quell the locals who tried to riot against Terragroup exploiting the workers

[ebon yoke]

Yes, but it would be nice to have a more nuanced grasp of their operations there

Beyond just "they were in africa"

That is what I am asking for

Hence the "beyond a couple snippets"

[lean garnet]

any news about kerman bug when u got failed with obtain the rfid device ???

[vestal walrus]

dont think so, waited 3 days until I made a ticket which was also 3 days ago and no reply yet so im 6 days in with this issue, browsing discord daily and places like reddit but there doesn't seem to be any real fix so all we can do is wait for a fix i suppose

[peak flame]

for anyone who has done price of independence, can I shoot the pier flare before the trainyard flare?
I am currently at the pier but I havent done trainyard yet

[static acorn]

I just wanna give mechanic 40 btcs pleaseeeeeee

[torpid locust]

Makes sense

[vale copper]

hmm reminds me of a baguette country with a naughty sounding african named country

[warm tinsel]

I cant find the "fuel" mentioned in the note for the unheard story questline. The wiki says on factory on the yellow container but its not there can anyone help?

[unique canopy]

The shitshow continues. After i got the double dialogue bug that forced me to debtor, i then completed my tasks and got to terminal. I failed my first run. Came back today and Prapor said I didnt complete the 3 tasks in time, and now he wants my Kappa case

this game is a flaming pile of dogshit

1.0 ready

if i could get my money back from 8 years ago, i would

[covert ridge]

lol

have you ever -tried- to submit a bug report, i get its kinda a meme because they get busy and it takes time for a reply but

[unique canopy]

there is no point in submitting a bug report

they already said that they cant fix your progress once its fucked

they cant roll it back

[safe crescent]

Hello guys, i`m not sure if i should write this here.

i need help with Kerman. i have the last evidence files but i don`t have the option to give them to him. Looking for help

currently its 5/8. all side story missions are complete. i dont know what to do now

[ember atlas]

Im trying to complete They are already here
Im at ||station arrs 14, ive picked up my usb i left here, and have not turned it back in to mechanic. There is no note for me to pick up and read.|| i have a [Failed] tag on the quest, im trying to go for the full completion ending, am i screwed? Im on my 3rd trip in here an no note

Ive listened to the tape

Can i still get the ending i want? This feels like a bug

I dont want to hand in the usb in case its saveable and i can indeed find the note if it spawns

[steel solar]

did you read the "note on the table in front of the screens, there is one talking about a "reset command" command under the table when the laptop are placed in front of the serv, where you place the USB

[ember atlas]

There isnt a note

Ive scoured every surface in there

[steel solar]

if you didn't read the note you can't acoomplish the quest fully in you third raid

i don't have screenshot

[ember atlas]

There wasnt a note there in any of my raids, ive been looking each time i went through

Every surface, table, floor, shelf, binder. Nothing there all of the times ive gone in

[steel solar]

it's the firt time you investigate the ARRS center, if you miss the note you can't have back i thinks, but i'm not sure

oh wait

ok you have placed you USB right

and listen 1 tape, the one inside the safe

before going a second time in your raid and speak to Mechanic

[ember atlas]

So in order
1st raid, power, bunker, pass, second power, plant usb, tape extract, listen to tape
2nd raid, go in, take usb, looking for the note. No note
3rd raid, usb is still pick up-able, no note still

I havent handed it over to mechanic

I'll go in a 4th time to see if its magically there now

Wiki only has 1 spawn spot for the note

[steel solar]

ok yeah you need the note, try to look in the center of the room when you can see all the computer, the note is placed next to a PC screen, that where i found mine, and after read the note you need to activate the button under the laptop in the second room, and pick up the USB and extract alive

[ember atlas]

Here's hoping

I'll report in once ive made it back in there

[safe crescent]

@steel solar any ideas why i can`t hand it the evidence to kerman? all story missions are completed

[steel solar]

no, you need to talk to him, but don't forget to read all the note and listen all the tape

you can found them in manual, and note

[safe crescent]

all documents are seen. i dont understand why i cant hand them to kerman

[ember atlas]

@steel solar note still isnt there

Usb is still retrievable

Do i just hand it in to mechanic and hope i still get the system schematics i need?

Im combing the floors and everything to see if its invisible or some garbage like that

Hell ill even check in the power plant to see if it spawned up there somehow

Nada

Guess im hoping

Actually, im holding off on turning it in. I might be able to get help through a support ticket

[arctic ice]

So has anyone figured out what the purpose of black division is? Cause to me it just seems like they're trying to stop everyone from escaping from the terminal

[steel solar]

sorry for the delay i'm trying Terminal XD, and i think it's only inside the ARRS center, maybe the quest has some bug

happend to me for kill 2 cultist priest, i litteraly wait for sync server idk

maybe is a problem you have

[vapid patrol]

I gave it to Mechanic without finding the note
and now I am worried that Kerman will turn me down

[vapid patrol]

I had like yellow phone icon from Mechanic for several days - but when I contact him he doesnt have and line to start the conversation with

and still no ARRS specification from him

[ember atlas]

Yeah thats exactly why im waiting on my support ticket

[vapid patrol]

but did you turn arrs off?

[restive saddle]

Small update on my end for the RFID bug with Kerman not giving any dialogue, I checked just now and the option appeared to talk to Kerman. Now I have to wait a day for Mechanic to get back to me. I dont know if they did something on my account but the option was there after 6 days

[ember atlas]

No, have you checked your notes for it?

[ember atlas]

Welp, turned it in. No system schematics in my inbox or my notes. Here's hoping that ||The ticket|| is only looking for the story completion :/

If not then i guess i'll know to listen to that dumb tape in raid next time

[cold orbit]

is there any specific order I need to complete the story quests in, I am going for the savior ending and I am still on the ticket I was wondering if I had to complete every requriement before handing in the bitcoin or something

[woeful patio]

not sure where to post this so I'm posting it here cuz of potential spoilers, I might've messed up because I kept the ||armored case|| for myself instead of giving it to prapor and I lost enough rep with him to bump him down to loyalty level 2 rip

[echo pollen]

Does anyone know what happens with the Alpha 1 case when you enter terminal? Do I have to find it and pick it back up?

[covert ridge]

ye, you can find it in the locked armory room where you get all your other gear back aswell

on a table or something

[echo pollen]

gotcha thank you

[vapid patrol]

this quest design is just fucking stupid

[past spire]

Storyline question|| i was reading that i shouldnt hand over an item to skier and hand it over to the btr instead if i want savior ending? what task is that because i dont remember ever having to choose betweene them 2 ||

[light sage]

Route deviation, dont do that questline!

Just follow btr's

Halfway through prapor starts giving you tasks you have to do btw

[dire coral]

I ran into a similar problem and i got fucked bad.

My theory is that if you pickup the flash drive on your 2nd raid BEFORE finding the note locks you from getting the note, because i didn't find the note on the 2nd-5th visit (i played during the local server problem so everytime i extracted it was just a black screen and i had to start over). I gave the flash drive to mechanic and he didn't say much, just that he's putting it away. Then i went to talk to kerman and when i tried to send him major evidence he was just pissed that i fucked up and now im on the debtor ending.

This is what I get for not reading any guides...

[craggy urchin]

I feel like its been 3 days now, how long till kerman trusted contact reaches out?

[opal scaffold]

48 hours and you have to have a 4.0 or higher rep with fence

[craggy urchin]

7 rep atm, intel lvl 3 btr quests all done. guess ill give it more time.

[opal scaffold]

He should reach out soon then, honestly it’s the most annoying wait time but yeah, good luck with his task bro

[craggy urchin]

ty

[fresh vigil]

Does anyone know if Leshy's diary still spawns after finishing labyrinth story

[pseudo mesa]

what is better to do keep the armored case or give it to propar (falling skies)

[craggy urchin]

im so confussed - fence reached out did my tasks that fence sent me to do. did it. went from 7.39 scav rep down to 2.30.... wtf

nvm upon further reading. cause i did the btr quest early - i pissed fence off for siding with skier.

[craggy trellis]

Ending dependent

||give it to him for survivor, keep it if you're doing savior||

[hoary lynx]

anyone here done saviour ending? How long do you have to wait for Fence to contact you after handing in the major evidence?

oh just read up its 48 hours

that blows

[lunar nacelle]

Hi, what's the easiest ending to go for ?

[craggy trellis]

Survivor ending after handing in case to prapor

Basically just need to hand in 300 mil and not much else

Do need lightkeeper for it tho

[hoary lynx]

^ but 300mil is like maybe 1-2 weeks of labyrinth farming it’s really not a lot

[dim trellis]

Fun lore fact:
Shoreline is israel
UN soldiers are IDF
Peacekeeper is Netanyahu

30 Billion to shoreline

[rain stump]

true

[fervent aurora]

my main story is full bugged and is locking me out of completing the game. i collected the master keycard and im supposed to go talk to kerman so i can give mechanic 40 bitcoins, but when i go to him there are zero dialouge options. i have intel 3 and i have solar power. been like this for two days now... anyone know of any sollution?? thanks

[rain stump]

man the cultists just seem super scary

shooting something in the head and it doesnt die and just keeps shooting back

[tawdry badger]

Sooo im trying to complete Batya story. I have to ''Seach Gnezdo's outpost'' I have everything else. I walked around the whole camp but it didnt complete? Any1 if i have to make a ticket here or am i missing something

I dont even know how to make a Game ticket if i have to

[surreal solar]

guys how to do ensure acces to reserve

[gray kite]

I had some similar issues when doing mine, I visited the Carosuel or whatever the hell one about 3 times before it was like "Ok you've been here" then it let me ||contact Voevoda on the radio||

[craggy trellis]

So true twin

[covert quartz]

need a fix for falling skies, after i extracted with the armored case and kermans note i didnt get to choose between giving the case to prapor or keep it. (pve)

[cold orbit]

for they are already here when you go to lighthouse and find the note and the key on the atv does the quest fail if you die. and you lose the savior ending?

bc I Cant find key

[hoary lynx]

Shouldn’t lock you out from the ending but not sure why it doesn’t spawn there again

All I remember from that part was grabbing the key and racing to the RR extract up the hill

[cold orbit]

what do I do with the key, do I need to craft something in my hideout?

[hoary lynx]

You will yes but believe you need to do other steps first

I forgot but there’s guides on this

That key will be for the final parts of the quest where you go to interchange into that server room underneath power

[umbral tundra]

Can someone help me with something related to the story line batya chapter? I reached a point where i cant progress through it and i have no idea why...

[covert ridge]

ye whats your current progress in batya?

[umbral tundra]

i have done both tape crafts and have intel lvl 3 done but when i go try to talk in the radio, it doesnt work

and, as far as im aware, i got every item needed to progress throught thsi chapter...

Im at the point where it says that i need to gather 5 proofs of something, i dont have the game opened now so i dont know exactly what it says

I tihnk i have done everything but i cant pass through this objective...

[covert ridge]

the 5 items related to the bogatyr squad is only needed once you are told to bring them to lightkeeper which is onee of the last things that needs to be done? dont need to worry about them until you are asked to bring them to LK

[covert ridge]

is your current objective "contact the bogatyr squad" right? and are you able to access the radio at all, or is it just not giving you the right dialogue option to proceed

[peak flame]

just beat the game today

I wish there was special music for each menu screen

[wicked agate]

same, id wish we had the ending music on the title

[indigo timber]

I wish our characters actually reacted with their voice actors on what we find

Cuz usec and bear were both played harder then a fiddle

Usec aren't even the "bad guys"

If you squint and stretch it a bit BEAR are actually the bad guys unknowingly

That's if you stretch it really hard

But if my theory is correct. Terragrouo was playing 4d chess and winning in every reality

[timber yacht]

hmm how exactly is tagilla in labyrinth? what is the lore behind it

[west swallow]

@compact sedge no dialoge options with kerman, and the task says "read the instructions from the armored case", nothing n task iventory either

[compact sedge]

wait then, it'll be kerman

[west swallow]

shouldn't be there a note i should inspect?

[compact sedge]

I didn't have one

[west swallow]

once i clicked recive from system message, there was some window popup but i couldnt see what was that exactly

[west swallow]

still nothing with kerman :/

[civic igloo]

Batya story: I found Tarans postcard, then died. When going back to find it again it won't spawn. Objectives still say I need to find a keepsake. Anyone else experienced this? Any known solutions?

[turbid stream]

idk if u can do this for that specifically but i know you can just read it from your handbook if you die usually

[umbral tundra]

nop, im still being told to find the Bogatyr squads personal ontes a gather all the found items related to the squad, 0/5

Arent this the 5 items needed to give lighkeeper? Because i already have them all...

[civic igloo]

The postcard is one of the five items you have to hand in to Lightkeeper afaik. Which makes it a big problem if it doesn't want to spawn 😅 considering if I should just lose all the items and try to gather them again

[umbral tundra]

Also, when i go to the radio i go to the correct frequency and it just says that a strong signal is received but i cant pickupt any words, thats all...

[zinc scarab]

[covert ridge]

another guy earlier had a similar bug where he had all 5 personal belongings but the chapter objective still said 0/5

[umbral tundra]

what can i do about this?

Im not really in the mood to gather them all again xD since that would require me to go back to woods

[dense fractal]

does anyone know how they adjusted BD when they made them “easier” on the update a couple weeks ago i think it was

[fresh nymph]

i have theory i think that killa is a bad he shoted me

he lirely

kills me in the ikea malls

[indigo timber]

It's not supposed to be tagilla they just repurposed the boss

[pine root]

if its not the same guy why does killa show up to avenge him ?

[compact yacht]

hey so im trying to do the Unheard quest line and it says "Learn more about APs Role.." I go to Shoreline Room 305 and APs USB will NEVER spawn in the laptop.

What do I do

[tender forge]

I'll ask this here too:

for the minor documents to turn in for Kerman, is it find to read the letters and than die with them? Are you good as long as they are added to your handbook? I'm working on the side chapters and haven't gotten past the 40 btc yet and just want to avoid softlocking myself out of the little triumphs acheivement

[devout raft]

Did you go to the lab and grab the tapes there?

[compact yacht]

Yeah I figured it out I missed a tape thank you tho

[devout raft]

I'm starting to suspect that Kerman and Electronik are the same person. Or at the very least they're closely related.

[dense sleet]

I've heard the same thing being mentioned, but what supports this theory?

[west swallow]

hey, so yesterday i opened the armored case i took back from lightkeeper, got system message with incoming package, clicked received - some window poped up, then game lagged out, loading screen, and after few mins came back to my character profile, the ticket quest says "read instructions from the case", the problem is i dont have them, not in stash, not in task inventory, system message says received, no dialog option with kerman
so what happend? what can i do?

and another problem with story, the batya part, i took all items from woods and both outposts on interchange, yet have no crafts aviable in intel center or workbench, both level 3. tried to come back to these spots to check if i missed something, checking all items with the wiki, the only that spawns are "voevodas audio recorder" and "moremans dogtag" that just replace ones i already have in stash, no idea how to progress it

[west swallow]

in quest page, its says to figure out where the bogatyr squad got ambushed, and on quest related items below none of the moreman stuff is showing, but when im on the woods at the ambushed spot grave, only the dogtag is spawning in, i checked all the grave really thorougly and nothings there

[modest spruce]

im working on the ticket and i turned my power off with 3 hrs left on opening the box. do i now need to get a new armored box and re start the 55 hr craft?

[fathom badger]

Armored case is glitched mechanic wont g ive it back anyone help?

[twilit crater]

You just need a new jammer

And then restart the 55h timer

[devout raft]

There are two occasions I'm aware of where a trader reaches out to Electronik for assistance and then shortly afterwards Kerman makes contact with you.

In Falling skies you need Electronik's help with the plane's flight recorder and then shortly afterwards Kerman makes contact with you.

In the unheard you need Electronik's help to decrypt AP's flash drive and again shortly afterwards Kerman reaches out to you.

Electronik and Kerman are both very secretive electronic and hacking experts.

Hence why I think they may very well be the same person.

[fathom badger]

@devout raft any idea how ican get bsg to unglitch my armored case so i can craft the unlock? mechanic wont give it back

[misty cedar]

we got city

city gone to chaos

and then pew pew pew

[barren oxide]

How long do i have to wait for prapor hash codes?

[devout raft]

Have you submitted a ticket?

[earnest osprey]

I am stuck in Batya in the step to contact the bogatyrs.
When I walk close to the radio I never recieved a prompt.
Also I didnt get the second crafted tape as a shown quest item, but i could play it and proceed.
It seems it didnt register it correctly after crafted, and i cant craft another because it proceeded, and the phone is gone.

Any1 know what to do? Have tried making a ticket a week ago, no response.

[umbral tundra]

im with a similar problem, my phone is gone and i cant pick it up again, i have all 5 items and palyed both tapes but im stuck at the "Gather all the found items related to the squa" bojective at 0/5 and "Find the bogatyr squads personal notes"... I have no idea how to procedd from here, i ahve died with all the 5 items and collected them again and nothing cahnged, does anyone know a fix for this chapter? Thx in advance

[lunar nacelle]

Is Debtor ending more grindy than farming 300M for Survivor ?

[twilit crater]

survivor is 500m no?

[lunar nacelle]

not if you gave the case, 200M cut

For Debtor I only see 40 bitcoins and some regular quests so I think that's easier and quicker than farming 300M but I was recommended that ending for simplicity and when I look at rewards, Debtor has more so that would mean harder which I don't get why.

[twilit crater]

im pretty sure Debtor is longer than that

yeah its a lot longer than that

it involves finding another special flash drive then kill 30 pmcs on wood and hand over 100 pmc dogtags, find a cultist amulet in each marked room and then place all amulets on shared bedroom marked key

this is after opening the case

while your ending for 300m is literally just open the case swipe the keycard talk to prapor give him 300mil and then you can just go to the terminal

[woven folio]

does anybody have the flow chart for what to do for what ending

[sour mortar]

I'm stuck at 31/32 for minor evidence.
I already gave all major evidence items and waiting on kermens trusted contact to reach out.
Is it too late to get the 32/32? I'm not sure if it's bugged or if I truely missed an item

[dusky briar]

Im stuck on the ticket I've got the master pass from labs and failed the RFID encryption but kermin will not talk to me. any luck? trying to do savior ending

[serene scaffold]

for my first time escaping ima just try and farm up the 300mil for prapor and then after i go again ill see which one i want to go for lol

[safe tinsel]

any1 escaping rite now

[frank hatch]

I have to give Prapor 50x 'military or advanced electronics' and 40x weapon/armour repair kits. What is the most cost efficient way to do this?

[scenic hawk]

we need a lore video on the baad things that happened to the people in tarkov, such as the guy stuck in the tires who was burned to death, sanitar and how they experiment on people in the resort, the backstory to all the random easter eggs and lore behind it, the lore behind the cultists and how they do fucked up stuff i want to see it all in a movie

[static acorn]

does black division keycard no longer spawn on BD? Havent been able to find it on their bodies

[turbid stream]

Just loot it from the building. Ur wasting time

[static acorn]

yea probably i've only done 2 runs

[turbid stream]

If ur scared of the BD in that said building you can cheese the window of the gray truck infront of the main entrance

You can shoot through the window and they wont fight back

Bait them into position via grenades

[static acorn]

oh word thx

[crisp nimbus]

what happened with COR3 reddit? and is there any other resource to talk about COR3?

I know it's not EFT related, but BSG related though! 🙂

[uncut topaz]

So far it seems it not even BSG related, only related to Nikita. Or do you know something more that even part of BSG is in it?
Would be probably best to continue in #general-chat, it looks like cor3's story has nothing at all to do with Tarkov

[dense sleet]

question for the people that have done the debtor ending. What does Lightkeeper say to you during his questline? Lore wise I mean, does he want you to setup things for the Unheard or does he persue some other goal?

[sonic dagger]

So what's "They're already here" about? And the inside agents thing?

[scarlet crescent]

The "They're already here" is about the cultists the other no clue

[long forge]

Tarkov is a fictional city on a fictional piece of land in Russia. So is that to assume it’s this timeline where Chernobyl did happen it’s just not mentioned in tarkov due to it having nothing to do with tarkov or its current situation?

Asking for a friend.

[night dew]

my crafting menu says 0/1 jammer and 0/1 armored case

do i only need to find a new jammer?

[devout mesa]

Labs labs

[forest lodge]

On "The Ticket" I crafted and opened the armored case after lightkeeper stuff and the quest says "Read the instruction from the armored case". I thought I was supposed to talk to kerman after but I cant figure out what to do since I cant talk to anyone nor do I see any instructions. Please help.

[uncut topaz]

Check your handbook, are the instructions there?

[graceful hinge]

someone can help me to level up fence ?

[pallid meadow]

extract scav runs and car extracts my friend

[paper kettle]

There's no difference between keeping the case and handing the case over right?

One just unlocks lightkeeper and the other you skip a few quests?

only asking cause the wiki says it's a point of no return but it doesn't matter

[uncut topaz]

it changes some things later on, depending on which path you decide to take then. Check the flowchart for deets

[jade remnant]

is it mandatory to unlock lightkeeper?

if i give case to prapor?

[sonic dagger]

Yes

[eager juniper]

im on batya its telling me to get voevodas personal belongings but I already got em by accident before I got this step am i cooked it doesnt spawn there anymore

[exotic kestrel]

Has the wiki updated for the topographic reconnaissance maps for the debtor ending? I can't find these things anywhere

[cold orbit]

has anyone found a guide for all minor evidence locations

I am stuck on 30/32

[jade remnant]

As i understand so called story is just few quests with crazy grind closer to the end?

[covert ridge]

sounds bout right, gameplay wise the story chapters are pretty much identical to side tasks except for the cool notes to read / cassettes to listen to, and that you talk to the traders in 3d instead of just side task dialogue

[edgy tapir]

i have it

but its on Russian

[paper terrace]

for the accidental witness main quest, do I get the worst ending if I didn't read the documents in Skier's accomplice's apartment before I talked to skier?

[mint wing]

hello, can anyone help me? I'm doing Fallen Ending, I already handed over the 1000000 of dollars to prapor, It asks me to wait for Prapor's info, I've been waiting for almost two days and they haven't answered me. Does anyone know how long I should wait?

[abstract stream]

~48 hours

[eager juniper]

I failed the get the rfid thing in labs for the ticket but kerman and mechanic dialogs didnt update so im just stuck now and I went to get it from streets and it doesnt spawn was like this for like 3 days. did this happen to anyone?

[opal river]

i gave the case to prapor, now i need to wait for mr kerman to reach out, is it gonna take 24 hours for him to reach out?

[opal river]

afaik its a common bug, it takes up to 2 weeks for him to reach out

[surreal forge]

Hey uhhh from EFT RAID can anyone list down skif's loudout?

[exotic kestrel]

For the debtor ending, ||do I need to hand the topographic maps to LK in raid and will I lose it and have to find them all over again if I die? ||

[twilit crater]

you dont have to bring the topographic maps to him

[eager juniper]

wait so I can literally do nothing bout it but wait? LMFAO

[opal river]

yeah my friend waited 5 days, others have reported the 2 weeks i said

[eager juniper]

well that sucks ass

[opal river]

you can try making a ticket to bsg that may help

[eager juniper]

where do I do that do u know?

[opal river]

report bug in the launcher

i guess

[eager juniper]

ty man

[exotic kestrel]

I have never heard greater news in my life

Though it says I need to hand the flash drive to him with the maps on?

[twilit crater]

i think its only the flash drive

[chilly ridge]

how long does it take for kerman to give me hash codes through the trusted contact?

[robust condor]

im trying to complete the story quest accidental witness. it says read the note on the door but there is no note. i remember picking it up a while back but not sure what happened to it. any ideas?

[exotic kestrel]

So I gotta survive and hand it to LK? If I die do I lose it and have to find them all again?

[twilit crater]

idk

i would assume so since it is a task item

[exotic kestrel]

Mmmm the tension will be high that raid

Thank you sir

[cold orbit]

I found it all the minor items ty anyways

Atm Mechanic has a yellow phone icon asking me to visit and I have no idea how to get rid of it

[elfin linden]

Are you able to go back and grab evidence for Kermen if you complete a chapter? I'm trying to get the savior ending and don't wanna fuck it up

[hard patrol]

So, idk if to ask here, but im on the ticket, and i just opened the armored case, got a keycard and there was a message from sistem that gave me a quest item, now, what should i do?

now it says read the instruction from the armored case

i found it lol

[desert panther]

if you completed a chapter then you have already acquired the major evidence that you need for the ending

[silent stratus]

im missing 1 minor evidence for ticket? is it too late to collect that?

also, how do i know what im missing?

[eager juniper]

for the batya step to handover all the bogatyr squads items to lightkeeper do I have to have the items on my character?

[velvet musk]

can a friend open the A.P. apartment for me with the keycard or i need to specifically craft it to be able to progress ?

[polar dock]

wondering if anyone able to connect to colombian servers would wanna do scav coop with me on woods and reserve? i need it for fence to go to terminal

[mighty cypress]

Does anyone know all the spawns on all maps for the topographic recoinasannce for debtor ending ?

[tame badger]

Weird question but why did the war start?

[dense fractal]

not a weird question, however it’s a very long answer. my solution would be to direct you to a tarkov lore video.

https://youtu.be/LzgXEwblGpU?si=d3mjoCJepKPCjFF4

i like this one and it’s pretty recent so it covers more than the older ones do

[tame badger]

But where bear come from I know Russia but where?

[eager juniper]

im doing the ticket and this is day 5 of waiting for mechanic or kerman to update dialogues after failing to find the rfid encryption device on labs I went to streets where it spawns and its not there im just stuck and its annoying. did this happen to anyone?

[jade atlas]

Anyone here finished the game with savior ending?

[glossy talon]

Government backed pmc group used to fight terragroup, not specifically usec is believe, just usec kinda got caught in the crossfire as terragroups bodyguard, being very good one at that not even allowing military I believe in for something

[tame badger]

Oh okay

[warm ether]

Just did now. Good luck to everyone who wishes to escape from tarkov. If you wanna check out my escape stats, go to #screenshots. I escaped with the saviour ending 10 minutes ago.

[rocky imp]

is there anyone who did Fallen ending or have completed repair kits + military\advanced electronics tasks?

[rocky imp]

yes

[left seal]

why are the goons insane

[bronze spade]

knight was like " Freaking hate tarkov lets kill everoyne BRUH!"

he told me that

[meager cosmos]

no

[meager cosmos]

you have to survive labs 3 times to get the objective updated after that if nothing shows up with kerman contact try crafting something quick in the intelligence center and restart game it should fix it

[low gulch]

Haven't finished "The Unheard" yet, the "Fuel Catalyst Test Report" item is in my handbook but not in my Quest Stash, did I mess something up?

[left seal]

sounds about right lol

[hard patrol]

how do i contact bogatyr in hideout for batya???

[tough needle]

just follow the wiki

[hard patrol]

it doesnt say anything

[tough needle]

what step are you on?

[hard patrol]

i need to contact bogatyr in hideout after intel lvl 3

[tough needle]

talked to prapor already?

[hard patrol]

no, it says contact bogatyr, and i went to the hideout and there is aradio i can change the frecuency but idk what do i have to press bc there is like 3 options

[tough needle]

just choose whichever one you like, it should be fine

[hard patrol]

ok?

[tough needle]

the options are for talking to them right?

send a pic of what they are #screenshots

[hard patrol]

im in raid, wait a minute and ima tell u

[hard patrol]

i just sent the pic

[native crow]

accidental witness stats that i completed the task but i failed to locate and obtain the evidence help please what i did wrong ?

[chilly ridge]

if i wanna run terminal with friends, to we both have to have it unlocked? or just 1 person with a keycard

[uncut topaz]

yes, everyone has to have an item to access Terminal. It does not have to be the same one, your friends can be on different endings

It's the same how it works with entering Labs and Labyrinth, everyone has to have the keycard there

[coarse kite]

@grave spear

👋

[grave spear]

Aight

[coarse kite]

so ive spoken to kerman

and given him some evidence apparently?

[grave spear]

Have you already agreed for the first time?

[coarse kite]

yes

[grave spear]

Like did you give him the 2 evidences

[coarse kite]

now im on the 2nd one where i either keep looking or stop

[coarse kite]

yes

i think?

it didnt say "2 evidences" but

i was lowkey skimming through it

[grave spear]

If you tell him no it shows you the deviation

The image for debtor path shows th lighthouse in the background

[coarse kite]

#screenshots message

[grave spear]

Oh yeah say no

For debtor

Yes = savior

[coarse kite]

oh wow double confirmaiton lmao

[coarse kite]

so what do i do now

i have 10/11 traders

and i need to speak to a trader

i assume thats lightkeeper?

[grave spear]

Go to laightkeepa

And continue his shit

[coarse kite]

👍

thank you for your help

[twilit crater]

you lose them but you can reacquire them

[tough needle]

Most of the story items you just need to read them, theres couple that you need to survive and extract with though

If you’re given the option to read something read it as quick as possible Incase you die

[distant oxide]

||is the explosive charge reusable if I die after I use it? ||

[worthy plover]

I'm pretty early on "Fallen skies" ||I kept the case and got hit with a rep penalty|| I hope i made the right choice

[covert ridge]

||keeping the case or not|| isn't a huge factor for which ending you get, ||even if you give the case you will have to do some side tasks to retrieve the case back, (and meet lightkeeper early via those side tasks)|| either way you are still on the path to any of the 4 endings

[worthy plover]

ty ty

[covert ridge]

||once you meet mr. kerman is when the bigger decisions that really decide which ending path you will take,|| but ill leave it at that :D

[worthy plover]

I prefer to get the best ending, savior

Still doing the batya quest

[tame badger]

Story of killa and tagilla

[worthy plover]

Fence spoiler ||He finally invites me to visit him. He's so cool... but first thing he asks is for streamer related stufff... its a huge ass list too||

[zinc sparrow]

What are all the ways you can fail the savior ending? I heard of not pressing the button in the server room and siding with skier for the btr quest. Is there anything else?

[half knot]

Yo guys, I’ve done everything for Batya but it says find the bogatyr squads personal notes and I’ve been round all the camps an picked up everything? Any help be appreciated

[amber tide]

do you have all of them in your quest inventory right now? please tell me what items you have

or at what point are you right now?

[half knot]

ill message you so i can send a screenshot

[amber tide]

alright

[eager juniper]

u gotta read the notes dawg

does any1 know for batya the step to give lightkeeper the bogatyr items do I have to have the items in my quest inventory or naw

.

[distant oxide]

do you lose your access keycard to terminal if you swipe it after 4am?

or does the intercom just say access denied

[crystal verge]

Do you have moremans phone? Im stuck in the same spot too but I cannot find that damn phone

[midnight abyss]

Read them

[half knot]

i did, was missing one from interchange

[half knot]

theres a vid on youtube that tells you where that one is

[eager juniper]

any tips on killin cultist priest on customs that shit is aids

[crystal verge]

Ive gone to its exact spot over and over again it never spawns

[amber tide]

does someone know if the Terragroup labs master keycard respawns in the safe from the new black keycard room? because mine is gone, and Im afraid now that i will only have one try fro terminal

[half knot]

Yeah it respawns I’ve got it in my inventory and could pick it up again in labs earlier

[analog spade]

Hey, I was trying to progress on The Unheard storyline, I picked up ||the two notes on labs, and read them|| but I'm still stuck on ||learn more about the unheard||.

For related items I just have ||book of the arrival||, if that helps.

Not sure why I'm spoilering this either since it's like the first step

[empty tide]

pick up the note from streets

[lavish halo]

Hello my friends is there anyway to solve the leshys diary problem I completed the chapter and missed the diary now im stuck I really don’t wanna reset my account it’s bin hard enough for me to get this far with work and stuff aswell can you let us no what to do please or is that locked now I have 31/32 7/8 thank you 🙏

[rain terrace]

should be on a grave behind zb16 on woods

[junior elk]

I’ve got a question for falling skies. So I know if you give the case to prapor you get access to light keeper early, will doing that lock you out of savior?

Or can I give the case to prapor and still get savior ending

[covert ridge]

either way you can still get savior, if you give the case to prapor you still need to do extra shit to acquire it back- so it'll eventually lead to the same point before the story branches off to any of the endings

[junior elk]

okay sick

[worthy plover]

Do we ever physically meet Peacekeeper?

Maybe I just had a dream where we actually meet him

[covert ridge]

no not at the moment

they show his face in the tutorial cutscene but that's as much as we got

[eager juniper]

why tf does mechanic have the yellow phone icon when his dialogue is the same one

[autumn urchin]

hi Bogatyr squad operations report isn't on spot... anyone have same problem?

[steep glade]

Do i give the fragment to mechanic or keep it for the acheivment im heading for savior ending

[left frigate]

Question for the lore masters

Is our pmc meant to be the “player character” protagonist? Like, is it only ONE pmc who survives?

[lucid yarrow]

there is a bug that let you "visit" peacekeeper.

It teleported you to the checkpoint on customs and showed a textured block floating with what was assumed to be peacekeeper's textures.

At the moment we will probably never meet him in the game unless an update changes that.

[deft saddle]

does any1 know how can I inspect moremans body at batya quest I cant find what to do

[tulip bay]

Does anyone know if i have already completed the Labrynth Story Chapter but I am missing "Assistant's notes on Group #12 " - a minor evidence for the achievement - can I still pick that up or do the minor evidences also stop spawning after the chapter is done like other stuff? Can't check laby for a few days and I wonder if I am f'd regarding the achievement?

[desert panther]

picking up the ground zero note helped me

Just got savior ending and woo boy.
Lore wise spoilers: || So cool, we got out, we see Tarkov is nuked, we see that some RUAF is working with Kerman to some extent to expose the Unheard and TerraGroup, and the world "breaks free of TerraGroups control" but like, what REALLY happens when we escape? What does all of that even mean? I feel like this kinda just opened up more questions overall||

[stuck bolt]

does prapor ever give the rep back if you dont give him the armoured case

[orchid linden]

I don't think there's a specific quest line or something to regain it but just do his like normal quests you'll have enough to max him out anyways.

[grave quiver]

If I accidentally declined Mr Kerman’s offer for collecting 8 info for terragroup am I able to ask to work with him again or am I stuck paying prapor 500M

[elfin linden]

do I lose access to the "Major evidence" for kermen if I complete a story chapter before grabbing the evidence?

[silent tide]

Most likely see more in the dlc later ?

[timber sorrel]

You get an item that is the major evidence either way when u do a story chapter

[next path]

for falling skies, is there any consequences if I lie or tell the truth for when I hand in the || Transcript and flash drive||

[next path]

nvm from what I heard, it dont matter

[lapis heart]

whats the lore reason why when we die in a raid we live to raid another day?

[loud ravine]

maybe you just passout and have to go back to therapist to heal you, idk

[lapis heart]

or maybe after fence's men pick you clean therapist's people come and revive you, but thats just my headcanon

[loud ravine]

yah tbh i dont think there is any lore reason, just gamplay driven

[lapis heart]

huh

[loud ravine]

like it would be fairly bad if every time you died your account wipes, that would be my interpritation of a perma death, so gameplay wise you just get healed and go again

[lapis heart]

yeah permadeath wouldnt make sense and would just suck considering how often people die

[loud ravine]

how many times do you have to run lab before the item you need to talk mechanic for to take the big payment?

[next path]

is it better if i keep the armored case or give it to prapor?

I wanna get saviour ending but unsure. I've reference spreadsheet online and it seems like it doesnt rlly matter.

I just wanna know if theres more work involved

[eager juniper]

wuts the part of they are already here that would fuck up my savior ending?

[elfin linden]

I haven't completed it myself yet but from what I heard:
you go to interchange and plant a USB drive in the power station, extract, go back and retrieve the USB drive. before picking it up there is a button under a table you have to press before you can remove the USB drive. if you dont press the button I believe you get locked out of the savior ending.

[eager juniper]

dope ty man

[elfin linden]

course

the eft wiki has a pretty in depth guide on the savior ending, which is what I'm following

[eager juniper]

yeah me too but sm1 told me its not in the wiki

[elfin linden]

oh weird

[nimble flicker]

So for "They are already here" tarkov if you dont disconnect the station from external agents and you extracted there is nothing you can do to fix it at all? and pretty much im forced to go for another ending and not savior?

[eager juniper]

yes

[wispy cipher]

I’m stuck on Batya.. I stopped story quests to focus on getting Kappa and now that’s done my memory is fuzzy. I’ve gone back to the different Bogatyr bases/camps and got a bunch of items but I have no idea who Strelets is or where to look and I’m stuck on that part. Could someone please give me a hint or clue without too many spoilers?

[covert ridge]

you need strelets amulet, it spawns at the bogatyr camp on woods on i believe a box next to a sandbag on the perimeter of the camp

hopefully that's not too spoilery but i said it kinda precisely because some of those are really easy to miss + the snow makes it worse i think

[wispy cipher]

Awesome, thank you!

[wispy cipher]

Nah perfect. I actually did go back there after retracing my steps at the Carousel camp and realising I’d missed Taran’s postcard the first time around but obviously didn’t go over the correct pixel lol thanks again

[sacred seal]

Whats the lore behind going MIA?

Or is it ingame just because

[lapis heart]

idk but my headcanon is the extracts get sealed off and you get trapped

[sacred seal]

Car extract makes sense for that and the train

[honest trail]

im still waiting on news from elektronik for the unheard and its been like 8 hrs? and idk what to do

[honest dome]

24h I believe

[honest trail]

online it said 4

@honest dome

[lucid yarrow]

MIA headcannon:

player PMC gets lost, eventually exhausted and passes out over time. Scavs find them steal their stuff and are then found by prapor/therapist scavs and brought back to the hideout.

[foggy river]

heard alot about this bug with kerman after surviving for 30 min in labs, did anyone ever come up with an actual fix if you cant talk with kerman about the encryption device

[versed shadow]

I missed shutting down the ARRS and i can no longer get the savior ending??? is there any way to fix?

i mean is this real? i now have to get 500m cause i missed one tape on my first go around??

[indigo timber]

tarkov has a very intersting story just muddled by how its told BUT

the RAID seriers never happend its not canon

main thing being the terminal in the raid series being ok in EFT

but i kinda have a timeline in mind and what really happned and the best part USEC arent the bad guys and bear was unknowingly being the bad guys and were used and ditched. the whole unheard consipracy goes far deeper then i ever thought it would go

but first unheard make terragroup to advance there plans of human reaserch and testing to make there new world better, at this point unheard were already inside russias goverment and americas a sign in the intro shows all the countries terragroup works in.

Mr.kerman takes notice of the odd happenings of terragroup and start digging for info while russia wanting to investigate make a group called BEAR at this point unheard gain a foothold within the goverment of russia

terragroup/unheard start beginning the start of the end. BEAR was sent to invesitgate terragroup and find info but in reality was the cleaning crew. the only crew that wasent used was the BATYA squad and terragroup knew that and they got bumped off and went into hiding for it

a shooting happens at terragroup HQ multiple units non bear related units and USEC were at the scene and no one knows who shot first. false flag OP. terragroup claim self defense and contract wars begins

during this time terragroup was cleaning house for the final stage. normal usec were just the guard dogs nothing more these are the usec players in contract wars and EFT. they evac labs and places all over the world start burning and destroying info and the contract wars was heated up by unheard to kill off more usec sense they are a loose end. best way to get rid of someone? make their own boogyman (BEAR units) and both sides the bears who went searching for info across the world are killed and usec who were loose ends were killed

terragroup employes are evacd to health resort and all communication with terragroup and usec is shut down leaving usec up shits creek without a paddle and terragroup/unheard activate Black divison

during the contract wars mr.kerman was leaking info out and unheard were starting to get desprate, they had to activate blue fire earlier then they thought.

blue fire incident happens and the unheard plans start failing but can still recover depending on what you do in EFT and what ending.

the only real hole in the entire story is how we survived the blue fire incident and the unheard were watching us before it

my only guess is the answer in the unheard trailer were supposed to be the hearld or somthing for the new world but the question is why

[eager juniper]

how long does "wait for mr kermans trusted contact to get in touch" take in the ticket

[indigo timber]

a bit

do a scav run and gain some rep

[eager juniper]

I already got 5 rep tho

[indigo timber]

no just run a scav raid and gain .01 rep

[eager juniper]

didnt work

[indigo timber]

prob still gotta wait
