[cold brook]

can you play asia servers

[ember forum]

"play" would be a strong word at that point I imagine

[cold brook]

I did it earlier and still have the aug laying around I can just give you that

[ember forum]

I mean I can make enough money to buy myself more

and I'll end up getting ARs on flea soon enough, too

[ember forum]

if you wanna add me to friends either way that's cool

[cold brook]

how long is this prapor bihh gonna keep me waiting

I wanna finish the main story as far as I need to for prestiege so I can hard focus xp

[ember forum]

does prestiging just give cosmetics?

I didn't really look too closely

[cold brook]

each prestiege has its own rewards, generally they're all pretty shit

[ember forum]

I liked the Hotline Miami main menu lol but yeah, I would probably not try doing that for a long fuckin time

[cold brook]

prestiege 2 is like, the only one worth doing because you get an extra daily and an extra weekly

[cold brook]

have you actually seen it tho or do you like the idea of it

because it looks ass in game

[ember forum]

why? Is it compressed or something?

that's a damn shame

[cold brook]

it is literally just a purple background with black square buildings

0 detail

[ember forum]

wtf

[cold brook]

nothing interesting

• any background other than woods or factory nukes your performance anyway so not worth using

[ember forum]

it's not the one it showed in the menu with the masks????

[final wigeon]

nah fallen background

[cold brook]

stop 😭

fallen background halves your fps in raid for no fucking reason

punishment for your sins I guess

[vague shuttle]

do we keep backgrounds on prestige btw?

[cold brook]

yes

[ember forum]

I think it looks decent still but the fact it's only one of the masks is a little sad, the logo looks cool though

but yeah it wouldn't be worth sacrificing performance for, sadly

[gleaming crystal]

how do spawns work? is it just a random selection or are they spaced out?

[final wigeon]

does it?

[cold brook]

yes

do not use any backgrounds other than woods or factory

fallen is like, the worst one for performance

[final wigeon]

still worth it for how dope it looks

[cold brook]

hotline miami and cybertark are also really bad

it literally halves your frame rate in raid

[ember forum]

even in raid ??? wtf

[cold brook]

that is never going to be worth it

yes

[ember forum]

I thought you just meant menu frames aw hell naw

that's insanity

[cold brook]

the backgrounds animations play even while you're in raid because when you press escape you can see them

[ember forum]

ah fuck true

[cold brook]

it is dumb and has a massive performance impact for no reason

[wise fossil]

bsg is a joke

[gleaming crystal]

bro died to a scav

[ember forum]

dumpster fire performance fr

Streets will never be optimized officially

[limpid robin]

I make krabby patty

[obtuse vine]

is anyone else ping just randomyl spiking to 400 and staying there?

[ember forum]

I was getting 1000 ping in Arena for a while a couple days ago

their servers are fucked

[obtuse vine]

fr

[ember forum]

im in NA dude 😭

[pallid talon]

For they are already here isn’t there a certain step you have to do with the flash drive and lever?

[ember forum]

I can't imagine how it must be elsewhere

[limpid robin]

OCE servers spike sometimes to 200

[ember forum]

the desync is so bad

I've died behind cover several times at least in Arena and I've had the game for less than a week

[limpid robin]

Also does anybody else's game freeze or drop frames during a cqb firefight

[ember forum]

not a ton but I have had stutter while going to shoot a couple of times lol

[limpid robin]

Lost a fight in cabin due to it

[ember forum]

I wish you could do more about pip scopes butchering frame count

it's not helpful to say the least

like it's not bad all the time for me with them but even still

[limpid robin]

Its rendering the scene twice not much can be done

[ember forum]

yeah

[cold brook]

not using them is the solution there, sadly

[ember forum]

I mean they aren't unusable for me outright at all or anything but just in general

I'll go from like 60 - 80 to 50 - 45 tho

[limpid robin]

They could maybe do what unturned does, where they render at a lower resolution, but that's kinda idk

[wise fossil]

they can do what arma does

[ember forum]

what's that

same as what Pan said?

[wise fossil]

arma just makes the screen black and only renders whats in the scope

like csgo

[keen mango]

That’s not immersive

[ember forum]

that's a bad idea imo

[keen mango]

Also a lot of people will complain

[ember forum]

sacrificing that much FOV is not good

[wise fossil]

ok then half your frames

[ember forum]

lowering the res of the scope sounds smarter

[keen mango]

If they optimize the maps better then the pip won’t be bad

[ember forum]

but idk how feasible it is

[wise fossil]

its optional in arma its called 2D scope

[ember forum]

yeah it's definitely not the priority issue

[keen mango]

Trust me you would think that

But they’ve made a lot of effort to

I’ve gained 30+ fps on some maps from the recent changes and optimizations

[ember forum]

I feel like Unity as an engine just was not the best choice for a game like this

I do not know much about game design/programming but still

[keen mango]

They are changing to a new version of it soon

It’s being tested on ets

[ember forum]

yeah I heard about that

[ember forum]

I saw those new ADS animations and had a laugh about it

[keen mango]

They scrapped it

[unborn cape]

spend 8 million roubles on ak-50 quest, complete it, die before i can even fire a shot to a 17 hour guy full auto spraying my head through bushes no nvgs at nighttime btw

[ember forum]

shit makes it look like you're buzzed

[keen mango]

Yeah thankfully they aren’t gonna add it anytime soon

[lyric abyss]

🥹come to the tkpd twin

[ember forum]

how is it?

I don't have the most space atm to check myself

if you tried

[keen mango]

I’ve haven’t really looked at it but I’ve been watching the reports about it

Mainly getting 10-20 more fps

[ember forum]

oh that's actually pretty good

does progress from live carry to ETS?

[unborn cape]

i used it a fair bit last prestige

but this run im doing 500m ending (chose to do 500 over the 300 for the i am speed achievement) and i figured an extra 8 mil isnt too bad for a gun ive never used

i might do tkpd too idk. i get tons of rebels cuz the money farm i do is just streets marked keys and anything in between them from where i spawn

[lyric abyss]

i got two red rebels in one rb-vo take ffs, its so much easier than ak-50

and im sitting on 10 prokills

[keen mango]

No but they give you a head start

[calm nest]

Yes but unlike the AK-50

[keen mango]

Max traders 100m

[calm nest]

TKPD is dogshit

[ember forum]

good to know

[lyric abyss]

😡

[calm nest]

actually even more so this point in wipe

[mellow fulcrum]

yo who is the guy i just beat terminal with

[calm nest]

7n33 is rare as hell

[mellow fulcrum]

ur the goat

[calm nest]

And FMJ is ass

[unborn cape]

i mean ak-50 is already done

im just upset that the first raid with it i die to a cheater

[lyric abyss]

fair enough

[wise fossil]

"this point in the wipe" brother u can get to end game in a wipe in like a weekish with unheard bonus rep

[ember forum]

is there gonna be another wipe before permanent?

[calm nest]

Unheard rep is meaningless and the “outrage” over it is menial

[keen mango]

No

[wise fossil]

no its going seasonal

[keen mango]

This is permanent

[ember forum]

okay cool

[unborn cape]

you dont start with anymore compared to eod btw

[calm nest]

Think about it, if a chad is going to reach kappa a week into wipe

[ember forum]

20% more per raid though, no?

[unborn cape]

xp? thats not out yet

[calm nest]

You really think an extra 1000 Xp a raid matters for him?

[ember forum]

oh no wait, that's Unheard

[unborn cape]

unheard xp multi isnt in game yet

[wise fossil]

im saying stating something as "early wipe" or whatever is meaningless when u can run lighthouse/reserve etc and get insane ammo and weapons off the rip.

[unborn cape]

and it wont matter. you dont need it currently, it wont change anything

[ember forum]

that's gonna be busted

even though you can just grind Arena already

[storm burrow]

simulator game

[brazen karma]

no one is gonna care about xp boost bro

[calm nest]

20% is meaningless, yall don’t know how fucking broken shootout is lmao

[unborn cape]

people dont do that though. early wipe is characterized by the dogshit you find off scavs or buy from traders being more common than raider/rogue guns or meta guns

[ember forum]

I haven't been able to queue into that yet

[calm nest]

Dude you can get 130k XP In 4 arena games

Shootout is broken as fuck

30k XP if you pop off

[wise fossil]

ok

[unborn cape]

me when someone has a point i dont want to respond to

[ember forum]

play it with daily class boosts lol

[calm nest]

That’s how you get so much XP

Win bonus on shootout is 20k XP minimum

33k maximum

[ember forum]

I haven't been able to find a single match for it dude

[calm nest]

What servers?

[calm nest]

If they keep seasonal similar to 1.0 there’s gonna be a crazy gap from average players to chads

[unborn cape]

not really

extra raid xp doesnt make a whole lot of difference

[calm nest]

Not what i mean

[unborn cape]

wdym then

[calm nest]

Chads are gonna get tagilla gear off rip and spam T6 + tagilla masks, unlock labyrinth on day 2

After 2-3 days every Chad you meet will be full tagilla gear with 60s of BS/igolnik/7n40

[final wigeon]

that sounds like annoying as gameplay

and only losers are like

[sacred zephyr]

🦕

[calm nest]

Only reason it took a few weeks for laby spam to start was people didn’t know about it

[final wigeon]

"im going labys for gear"

headass

[calm nest]

I mean tigz hit 500 mil from laby in like

2 weeks of 1.0

[final wigeon]

tigz lives off this game

[calm nest]

Granted he had boyfriends help him

But still point stands

[final wigeon]

99.9% of everyone else dont

[calm nest]

Ppl that hate on XP boost don’t realize

If someone can get kappa in a week

There wont be a difference from 1000 XP per raid

[neat grail]

Average killa enjoyer

[full galleon]

Just came here to say the bosses having 4x more health than every other entity in the game is fucking stupid, and whoever thought that was a good idea is also fucking stupid.
Imagine bulletsponge mechanics in a so-called "realistic shooter".

[calm nest]

Bro ran SSA for Kaban

Kabans fat ass with 300 thorax health

[neat grail]

Skill issue

Get better ammo

[full galleon]

gets shot in face

doesnt care
because why?
bEcAuSe BoSs lMaO

[calm nest]

Yeah bro this game should be realistic

[neat grail]

I had sanitar tank 4 high pen 7.62 ammo to face

[calm nest]

Make fractures take 1 IRL month to heal

[neat grail]

You should start character over everytime you die then

[solid trout]

When is UH getting the clothes change

[calm nest]

Well that’s because he pops a fuck ton of stims like the junkie he is so he probably had adrenaline + ETG healing him to full with +10 HP a second

[full galleon]

Its the most braindead counter-intuitive shit ive ever seen... Game is super realistic, unless its a boss, then its fucking Borderlands

[calm nest]

This game is not realistic at all dude lmao

[neat grail]

You are crying for the wrong reason dawg

[chrome ridge]

Any setting to increase loading times, my friends load in like 2 minutes before me

[full galleon]

compared to which game? Im accepting recommendations

[calm nest]

Your character hold his arms up without ever getting tired, ibuprofen lets you run on a leg riddled with buckshot, your character starved to death in 25 minutes

[solid trout]

It's not starvation it's exhaustion

[calm nest]

You can pop 900 stimulants and be fine

[full galleon]

You cant take a gunshot to the face, but bosses can. Which I find to be fucking stupid.

[calm nest]

Yes you can

[solid trout]

As someone whose recently played a game where I had to make a judgement call on morphine dose vs pain vs addiction vs overdose just to maybe crawl my way somewhere safe, Tarkovs medical system has been ruined for me.

[calm nest]

SSA AP and AP SX don’t one tap head

That’s not realistic

Bullet to the brain kills you but they don’t

[solid trout]

makes a bit of sense

Most of the damage of being headshot is the bullet bouncing around in your skull and turning everything to mush

Extremely high pen ammo would go clean through only doing minimal damage

That said, theres other issues at play when that happens, but tarkov is'nt equipped to have that kind of system

[neat grail]

Big boy, bosses feel bosses for a reason, trust me you won't get the satisfaction if u one tapped them

[calm nest]

There’s a green stimulant that fixes every ounce a damage from 7 5.56 rounds that hit your plate and shattered every last inch of rib you had

[wise fossil]

which game?

[arctic osprey]

the fact that caps lock does not switch between slowest speed and fastest speed is fucking stupid

swear that shit gets me killed multiple times a day

[neat grail]

Etg my goat, it saved me so much

[solid trout]

Casualties Unknown, or Scav Prototype, it's known by both. It's not an FPS it's kind of a survival platformer kind of game

[full galleon]

So the game being balanced so ammo that no helmet can stop doesnt one shot a player(which feels bad) means its okay to have bosses whos bare face you have to magdump to maybe kill...

[calm nest]

I mean still your PMC fucking dies if he doesn’t eat every 40 minutes

[cold brook]

the game isn't realistic, just accept that and move on

boring ass bosses if they just die instantly to a pistol shot to the skull mate

[solid trout]

Way I see it, you pass out, wandering scav finishes the job or you miss your way out and die with no way out

[calm nest]

Mate the game was never realistic, the only thing it has is realistic gunplay.

Tac shooter doesn’t equal realism

It’s a video game. They have to balance them.

[arctic osprey]

this game would suck donkeyballs if it was realistic

[calm nest]

If you can’t shoot a boss in the head twice then that’s a skill issue

[full galleon]

Fuck realistic, it feels like shit that every enemy in the game can be killed with a headshot, except bosses, because the devs dont know how to make AI harder in other ways.

It just plays bad

[calm nest]

Mate the AI is fucking braindead

If you think killing a boss is hard because of HP you would have cried when the hardcore wipe guards had aimbot and only aimed for the head

[full galleon]

Thats okay. Ill take boring AI I can kill with a headshot vs. boring AI I cant

[calm nest]

Literally 300 meter BT cross maps from reshala guards

[tiny flame]

are we even taking balancing into like

our brains

[calm nest]

I wanna know

What boss ate your round

And which bullet

[cold brook]

I can rub Vaseline on my lips, jump off of a 3 story building air out a whole squad of people, run on my broken legs then staple them back together in 30 seconds, stop crying about bosses having "uneralistic" head health

[tiny flame]

look at the boss healthpools and notice how the ones with the lowest head hp have guards 😭

if you want realism go play arma 3 or sumn

[solid trout]

making AI harder in other ways is easy. The problem is making them unpredictable without also making the AI seem stupid

[tiny flame]

dontg come into the game that actively has cultists, lip balm that fixes your legs magically and 16 second surgery expecting realism

its like taking a shit expecting a chickfila sandwich like fuck you expect 😭

[calm nest]

They can’t make AI that has good aim and prefires you, terminal proved that

[full galleon]

Reshala didnt die to M856A1 to the nose, Tagilla didnt die to a slug to the back of the head, and Shturman didnt die to several 9mm tracers at point-blank range(though ill accept I was going to lose that one regardless)

[calm nest]

It was “too hard”

So they pussified black div

Cringe as hell

[civic widget]

why we single firing

mag dump

xD

[tiny flame]

shouldve just done a rework of the AI for black division specifically

[civic widget]

Hunting tagilla with a shotgun is also laughable

[solid trout]

AI prefires me surprisingly often?

[civic widget]

and shturman with 9mm? outside of a vector or something else that has rip rounds i dont even know why you would

[tiny flame]

brick wall, sappy, brick wall

[civic widget]

you're using the wrong tactics expecting it to work one everything

[calm nest]

You just missed tagilla and Shturman dude. Any Slug and GT will one tap their heads.

[civic widget]

use the right gun with the right ammo to kill the right boss

its pretty simple

[full galleon]

didnt know misses caused blood splatter on walls

[arctic osprey]

there isnt a 12gauge slug in the game that does less than tagillas head hp. skill issue

[civic widget]

x51 m80 doesnt give a fuck about anyone or anything

[keen mango]

Btw debtor requires solar power

[full galleon]

The hit didnt register then, which is a whole other conversation

[calm nest]

Maybe hit the right spot 🕊️

[arctic osprey]

or you shot him in the side of the head

or missed

[civic widget]

blood splatter is client side

[calm nest]

Kid named Altyn

[civic widget]

the hit might not of been registered

[full galleon]

Na, it was nape of neck from behind while he was passive, no chance it was a miss unless the server said so

[civic widget]

kid named Scar H

[calm nest]

I’m never touching an Altyn again actually fuck the Altyn bro

Fucking

4 Altyns 3 rage cheaters

[civic widget]

Id rather retain vision and hearing lowkey

i hate running faceshields

[calm nest]

Granted 1 of them didn’t kill me he was just Tony hawking

But still like he could have

[gleaming crystal]

yo whats best ammo to break armor for sew it good

[tiny flame]

the reserve alley incident

[calm nest]

Blicky

[gleaming crystal]

cant buy ammo no more

[calm nest]

The fucking blicky discs?

[gleaming crystal]

yeah

[tiny flame]

they done hit the blicky discs

[calm nest]

How

[gleaming crystal]

wait nevermind my game was broke

[calm nest]

🥀

[tiny flame]

sold by LL1 mechanic

[calm nest]

I had a rage cheater headshot me 5 times in a customs raid tonight

[civic widget]

yeah but fs isnt saving you from that

[calm nest]

Not even kidding

[gleaming crystal]

yeah it wasnt letting me buy it im good tho

[calm nest]

Well no it did the first 4

[civic widget]

XD

[full galleon]

Maybe my issue is 50/50 "bosses have ridiculous HP"/"where the hell my shot go server?" then... idk, but its fuckin infuriating

[calm nest]

My friend thinks I’m crazy when I say I experience far more cheaters than anyone else, specifically rage cheaters

[tiny flame]

yeah this rage cheater killed me with a shiv whilst i was totally stacked with max armor and ammo totally

yep yep

[cold brook]

you're just missing and looking for an excuse

[calm nest]

Tonight I got

1. Triple headshot by a 20 hour gamer, 2. Quintuple headshot by a 9 hour gamer and 3. Saw a speed cheater sliding around streets

I have a curse

[tiny flame]

must be a streamer

[full galleon]

Again, blood splatter on the wall. My shot hit, according to my client. If it didnt hit serverside, there isnt a whole lot more gettin good I can do about it

[tiny flame]

CLEARLY the boss was hacking

[full galleon]

maybe my internet went ass for a second, but that shot shouldve killed him in my mind.

I havent tried PVE mode yet, are desync issues better over there?

[cold brook]

and yet, if it was going to kill...it would've killed

[cold brook]

if you're struggling with ai then moving to pve wont help 😭

[full galleon]

Im not talking about the AI, im talking about desync...

If bro says the shot shouldve killed numbers-wise, and the blood on the wall says the shot shouldve hit feedback-wise, then I can only assume desync was involved. If PVE has less desync than PVP, it might be worth a try

if its the same, then I wont bother

[opaque igloo]

QUESTION* Can I keep my THETA container if I prestige?

[full galleon]

In Escape from Tarkov, PvE mode does not inherently resolve desync issues. While you avoid fighting real players—eliminating desync caused by lag-switching or highly aggressive players—you can still experience notable server desync, hit registration issues, and rubberbanding. internet says no, so I wont bother.

[cold brook]

obviously not

you have to earn it again like everything else

[harsh shell]

i heard they changed arena tasks is theta still like something i can get done within the 3 day trial

[tiny flame]

[candid sun]

straight from google ai

[cold brook]

I have absolutely no idea

[full galleon]

correct. its faster than this chat

[noble thicket]

The AI might be wrong

[full galleon]

is it tho?

[cold brook]

oh brother

[drifting magnet]

I have 250 hours and nearly escaped!!!

[cold brook]

just fucking rekit and move on, you got tarkov'd or you whiffed and need an excuse, no one cares just play

[cold brook]

pve smh

[drifting magnet]

PVE atleast, I’ll try PvP next

[noble thicket]

🔥

[cold brook]

you better

[drifting magnet]

I mean I just don’t like cheaters and stuff, and I like calming (PVE is not calming in some area’s)

[noble thicket]

And I am in search for freaking cultists and doing quests for Lightkeeper

To open lk*

[drifting magnet]

🔥

Wait why are you searching for cultists

[full galleon]

Youre absoloutely right, if there is any aspect of the game im not enjoying, its entirely my fault, the game is perfect.

[noble thicket]

2% spawn chance ahh🥀

[noble thicket]

One of the chapter quests required to kill cultist's boss.

[drifting magnet]

Oh that one

[cold brook]

because that is definitely what I said!

[noble thicket]

It used to require to kill even 3

But now it's only 1

[drifting magnet]

Back in my day it was 2!

[noble thicket]

Yes

[cold brook]

no point talking to someone who reads what they want to read and not what was actually said

[drifting magnet]

I finally have all the belongings from the bogatyrs

[noble thicket]

But still, 2% chance of spawning

[drifting magnet]

Just 1 hour till I reflash DSPT

[arctic osprey]

zzzz i was getting a lot of spawns on labs that looked down the long halway to red and black, so i started putting bipods on my guns to try and get some kills like that and of course i stop getting the spawns. then the ONE TIME it finally spawns me there with a bipod i get pushed by a duo from parking and i dont even get to try it out 🙁

[drifting magnet]

Just go customs or something

[arctic osprey]

got the first but the second got me

[noble thicket]

It doesn't fix the chance. 2% is 2%.

[full galleon]

I came here to try to talk my way through something I didnt enjoy about the game. If youre telling me to essnetially just shut up and play the game, then how else am I supposed to take it bro? "games fine you just suck"

[dim nebula]

can anyone put a screwdriver on the flea

[drifting magnet]

I thought it was 25 on customs

[noble thicket]

In PVE? probably.

In PVP it's straight 2% on every map

[dawn scaffold]

priest is 25% on ocustoms

only 2% on GZ

[noble thicket]

Never in my life

Seriosly

[dawn scaffold]

it's 12% on night factory

[sudden barn]

Just accept whatever happens on tarkov

[noble thicket]

12 raids to factory,
5 raids to woods
and
7 raids to customs.

[drifting magnet]

Just unlucky

[noble thicket]

And also a few raids to shoreline but I wasn't in search for them

[full galleon]

thats seems to be the consensus

[dawn scaffold]

RNG is RNG and you may not have checked every spot

[sharp sandal]

Hello chat

[cold brook]

that is precisiely what im telling you to do, go and play

[sharp sandal]

tbf rng is a large part of the game lol

The peak tarkov player's form is a hunched over drunken depressed man repeating "it is what it is"

[harsh shell]

the desync is ass. we all hate it, but theres not really much anyone here can do about it

[full galleon]

god forbid someone try to learn why a thing happens... my bad

[noble thicket]

I even using the thermal scope in case if I not have checked everything.

Yeah, I know cultists are less visible through thermals, cuz, Idk, they are cold, but they are still visible.

[sharp sandal]

Oh they're def still visible.

Using thermals makes it piss easy to see them

[dawn scaffold]

Way too relatable

[sharp sandal]

People underestimate how visible cultists really are on thermal lmao

[gritty crown]

their equipment is regular visibility so theyre not hard to see on thermal

[cold brook]

you missed or didn't do enough damage to kill them, idk bro its not rocket science

[sharp sandal]

Nikita is Russian Kojima btw

[noble thicket]

The lazy one?

[full galleon]

"idk it just does that sometimes" - finally an honest helpful answer, thank you.

[cold brook]

once again, not what I said 😭

I cba

just go and queue brotato

[sharp sandal]

Looking at your messages

Its desync, it happens regularly in this game despite them trying to fix netcode.

Even with players.

All you CAN do is to just play another raid and hope you make up your losses.

[sudden barn]

Don’t hold corners and be the person swinging corners and hope desync works for you

[sharp sandal]

Also, in terms of bosses.

[full galleon]

Thats the conclusion ive arrived at as well, yeah. Shame to have a great raid ruined by something like it.

[sharp sandal]

I would never ever recommend trying to one tap them, if they're close and you're aiming at them, just blast them.

If i have m856a1, i will shoot 6-10 times at the head with full auto

[harsh shell]

yeah shoot head but dont think youre gonna 1 tap them

[sharp sandal]

One Tapping is for Regular scavs, bursts for guards and some bosses
harder bosses and players? full auto at close range.

[harsh shell]

alot of bosses just have more head hp than you have damage

[sharp sandal]

This as well.

[harsh shell]

its stupid tbh

but it doesnt cause any issues unless you actively try to 1 tap them

[dawn scaffold]

In Kaban's case, his fatass has more thorax HP than a 50BMG HP will do

[harsh shell]

kaban so fat he reduces your fps

[noble thicket]

His stomach has 6th class od protecting

[full galleon]

Perhaps thats the biggest problem im having, my preference for single-shot... xD

[harsh shell]

dude spawns just to munch on your cpu

[hearty night]

hi is there a vc for arena / server?

[harsh shell]

??arena

[hearty night]

tysm

[noble thicket]

I always getting unlucky with Kaban.

Last time I killed him he was using M60 with that FMJ freaking ammo which penetrates only 3rd class

[harsh shell]

i mean bcp fmj is 37 pen

[dawn scaffold]

never underestimate a bosses aimbot

[harsh shell]

bcp is such a goated round to find early wipe

[hearty night]

ong he never carries good ammo for me

[harsh shell]

but other than that it sucks

[sharp sandal]

Brother

This shit is pain.

[harsh shell]

whats happening

[sharp sandal]

I'm trying to get to an Electric Blast Furnace in gregtech and this shit is EXPENSIVE

LIKE FUCK MAN

[harsh shell]

uh huh

i dont know what any of these words mean

[cold brook]

x2

[full galleon]

I still think my initial complaint is valid: artificial difficulty via bigger HP numbers is wack. Im not a dev, but I would strive to never do it if I was.

[cold brook]

It’s not

[sharp sandal]

Definitely lol

[cold brook]

We’ve vetoed that already

[sharp sandal]

BSG can't develop a good AI for enemies.

Just look at BDIV whenever 1.0 dropped

[noble thicket]

BCP is all good, yes, but getting it from Boss, while you can just buy it from Jaeger, is sucks

[sharp sandal]

Or now, for example.

BDIV is a joke of an excuse for enemies lol

[cold brook]

Complaining about ai difficulty while they’re by far the easiest they’ve ever been 🥀

[full galleon]

"your feelings are invalid because I dont have the same opinion as you"

[hearty night]

for bosses?

[civic widget]

Its not feelings its an objective take

[acoustic otter]

in a game like tarkov, id agree

[full galleon]

yee

[civic widget]

AI is objectively by far easier than it used to be compared to when we played years ago

they got tuned / tuned down a LOT

[hearty night]

i mean the hp is kinda eh but their aim is what makes them "difficult"

[full galleon]

idk about all that, im a new player. I just figured shooting a person in the head should kill them, thats all

[willow jacinth]

is Establish Contact from fence require for Savior ending?

[civic widget]

I remember when sniper scav on smoke stack on customs would dome you off spawn first few days of wipe

[noble thicket]

Once Nikita literally said smt like "I am making the game, just how I want." Like, do your game, but hear the people out

[hearty night]

all bosses except goons are avoidable by learning spawns

[civic widget]

you wouldnt last 10 seconds without breaking LOS it was crazy

[acoustic otter]

hes not even complaining about difficulty tho hes just saying giving AI big hp is a shit way to make an AI "harder"

[full galleon]

exactly this.

[zealous plover]

anyone know what streamer with 16k hours level 42 prestige 5 has the name SheefGG? its not actually sheef. i checked his vods for his in game name from 6 days ago and thats not his name. i killed the guy earlier but cant figure out who it is lol

i assume its a streamer with those hours

[neat leaf]

You shouldn't last 10 seconds in front of an aggro ai without breaking LOS in any circumstances

[full galleon]

I respect that to a point. I think its kind of a bellcurve, if you listen to the community too much, the game loses focus. If you dont listen to them enough, the game loses scope.

(not a great way to word that, I just mean you can go too far in either direction)

[cold brook]

I do, dm me!

[full galleon]

Partizan died to my MP9 just fine, says hes a boss... does he not have boosted HP?

wasnt even headshots, I sprayed thorax

[neat leaf]

He has no armour so your Timmy flesh ammo all pens

[gleaming crystal]

they have higher hp but its really not that crazy especially partizan

[unique hill]

👀

[full galleon]

hit him 7 times with GT, armor really makes a difference for center-mass

(idk if it was all torso, prob some arms and legs in there, he surprised me lol)

but 7 rounds of GT to any of the other bosses would get me killed xD

[harsh shell]

he does have boosted hp its just the no armour

many occasions where ive shot him in the head and watched him walk away

[full galleon]

Oof. Gonna have to change my perspective on how this game should be played, at least when it comes to bosses

[full galleon]

Might have to just start kiting till I figure it out lol

I have zero trouble with scavs and players, those fights always play out in ways that make sense. Just fighting bosses has been a problem for me

[dawn scaffold]

Most bosses have a specific way to fight it seems. There's plenty of videos out there for each boss and the best strat

[full galleon]

ill have to look them up. ive been doing "whoever lands a headshot first wins" or "whoever hits the most shots first wins", and those strats are kind of a bad idea against dudes like Tagilla(hes the one thats been whupping my ass enough to send me here lol)

Partizan gave me some impact nades, do those work well on bosses?

[cold brook]

tagilla can be cheesed with 2 shots in a double barrel shotgun

[strong spear]

Yeah the goal of most bosses is to never give them a chance to hit you in the first place

[cold brook]

slug to the leg will force his ai to back off and heal, you can walk right up to him, press the shotgun to the back of his head and blow his shi smooove off

[dawn scaffold]

Bosses tend to just eat nades. Labrynth bosses I think are straight up immune to them

[full galleon]

bah... :/

[full galleon]

based advice, thank you

[cold brook]

nades are good against bosses, just not in the way youd think

[full galleon]

Id never considered targeting legs on purpose...

[cold brook]

they rarely will kill, but they force the bosses and their gaurds to move which gives you a chance to peek and shoot

[full galleon]

I have noticed grenades are more for flushing than killing, at least the fuse-triggered ones. Bots seem to know where itll end up and scatter, and players generally dont give me a chance to throw them xD

[unique hill]

que scav on factory to look for last kappa item
runs into players
kills them both

repeat

[maiden robin]

Should I tweak my graphics to make it easier to spot people? I feel like when scavs shoot at me I can’t see them. Is it skill issue or should I change smth

[strong spear]

Skill issue but graphics can help

[full galleon]

ive also noticed that bots seem to be able to see in the dark, at least better than I can

[maiden robin]

Should I just crank brightness

[cold brook]

dm me your specs and settings

I will optimise them for you

[maiden robin]

I got off for the night and don’t wanna power my laptop up again

[strong spear]

If you don't care about you inventory being washed out then sure, it works.

[maiden robin]

Can I send it to you tmrw at some point

[full galleon]

clasically its gamma youd want to boost, but thats cheesy imo. wish the flashlights in the game werent so awful

[cold brook]

there are better ways

[maiden robin]

I stayed up later than I should have playing tarkov

[strong spear]

Teach me the ways 🙏

[cold brook]

city break this weekend but if I see it I'll reply

[cold brook]

what gpu do you have

[strong spear]

1080ti

[cold brook]

open control panel

[maiden robin]

It’ll be tmrw close to this time

No rush either

[strong spear]

Done

[cold brook]

move to dm so we can send screenshots

[strong spear]

aight

[full galleon]

Legendary card btw

[strong spear]

True lol

[maiden robin]

Are footsteps the loudest when your looking at where they are coming at or the clearest

Bc I got killed by a pmc and couldn’t tell where they were coming from

But I could hear them

[cold brook]

your ears are on the side

[full galleon]

audio in this game is kind of sketchy ive noticed. I dont trust it myself

[steep veldt]

Does anyone else notice that the audio in arena is quiet as all get out? Why is it do quiet

[cold brook]

its not

[steep veldt]

It doesn’t feel loud and clear anymore

It’s just muffled

[maiden robin]

Yeah but when I turn to the direction of sound should it hypothetically get louder or more clear

Or does my question not make sebsd

[cold brook]

if your ears are on the side

the audio will be most clear

when you have it, to your side

[full galleon]

i havent noticed any engineering for ahead vs. behind or above vs. below like some games do, I think it might just be right vs. left

but im not an audiochad

[maiden robin]

So if I’m looking straight ahead and hear something to my right just pick a sight line and hope for the best?

[full galleon]

ive ben swinging my mouse left and right to get direction myself. that said, ive been fooled more than once regardless, so idk

[maiden robin]

Ok

I have one more stupid newbie question

Earlier people where saying to not have gear fear and use everything in your starting stash, I fear that this will lead me to losing all my money in general

[cold brook]

money is so easy to make you dont need to worry about losing it all

[maiden robin]

And if I get to no money it will lead me to a long crawl back up

[cold brook]

genuinely one good raid will cover a full kit

[maiden robin]

So just send all 900k of my cash and loot

[full galleon]

I lost most of it in the first 10 raids, but if you can get out once or twice youre basically back, sometimes even better.

[limpid robin]

Gotta spend money to make money

[maiden robin]

Should I buy better ammo or keep the m855 it gives me

[limpid robin]

you probably cant buy better ammo

[maiden robin]

I lied another question

[cold brook]

just use it

[full galleon]

thats actually a question: should I be insuring everything I use, saving insurance for the good stuff, or only insuring stuff I know players wont want to take off me?

[maiden robin]

Should I lock in on getting good at one map, ie ground zero, interchange, etc. or just play everything

[limpid robin]

most people just insure all

[full galleon]

gotcha

[quiet apex]

Audios fucked mate

Has been for ages

[maiden robin]

Is it worth it to insure? I mean my equipment is bad so I doubt anyone would take it

[quiet apex]

Find one you enjoy

[cold brook]

insure mostly everything

[limpid robin]

find a map you find comfortable and make that your looting-run map, but make sure u learn the other maps too cause u need to go to them for quests

[maiden robin]

I think I have the most surface level knowledge or ground zero

Bc of watching YouTubers

[cold brook]

if you dont want a helmet back, insure it anyway, if you get it back you can vendor it for more than the insurance cost (usually)

[maiden robin]

So just insure everything ever raid

[quiet apex]

Streets the best map to loot imo just hard to learn and you need a super computer to run it well

[cold brook]

glasses, face covers etc not usually worth insuring

regular magazines not worth

[full galleon]

the map you know well is easier to survive than one you dont, imo. Ive been enjoying Customs myself, though having to cross the river is a 50/50 between "no problem" and "instantly killed"

[maiden robin]

My shit is not a super computer, it’s a good laptop

[maiden robin]

I’m using m4 they give you to start with is that worth insuring bc most people don’t want them

[full galleon]

Are those even functional? or are they just kinda flavor items?

[limpid robin]

Just insure everything

[cold brook]

some do things, some dont

[maiden robin]

Is interchange any good, the first pmc I had on that map I died to mines

[maiden robin]

Got it

[limpid robin]

Some of the class 1 glasses help against scav bullshit

But the rest are just tacticool

They have flashbang reduction but its very unlikely you'll come across flashbangs

[full galleon]

ive been ignoring them entirely lol. if it doesnt have an item HP, it stays where I found it lol

[maiden robin]

Thank you guys

I’ll try to attempt to get decent at this game

[quiet apex]

i'm not an interchange enjoyer

[maiden robin]

It’s enjoyable so far but very annoying bc of the skill gap

[limpid robin]

Interchange is a bit messy some times

[quiet apex]

it's usually just timmies running around the outside of the map and the mentally ill farming killa

[full galleon]

Interchange is confusing and runs kinda bad on my PC, so ive been avoiding it unless a quest sends me there

[quiet apex]

plus the loot lowk dogshit

[limpid robin]

The loot is barter-item focused kinda

[unique hill]

does anyone have a domontovich ushanka on their scav im desperate

[limpid robin]

So its good for hideout farming but

Thats about it as far as I know

[cold brook]

interchange loot is insane

[maiden robin]

I think this game is the only game I’ve played with such a big skill gap from beginner to decent player

[cold brook]

you just dont know where to look

[limpid robin]

That, and also your currently joining at a time where most players are veterans and have gear already

[quiet apex]

big doubt

[full galleon]

ive seen one of those in an airdrop, but I didnt pick it up. (I dont think I survived that raid either, anyway lol)

[cold brook]

its not a debate, you are just wrong

[quiet apex]

whatever u say brus

[drifting trail]

interchange is genuinely the only reason i was able to get my account off the floor when i died too much since i was new, its honestly goated, im pretty sure there's guaranteed t4 armor spawns somewhere not-hard to get to at night either

[maiden robin]

When will that not be the case. I know they removed wipes

[limpid robin]

Seasonal characters are coming soon

[maiden robin]

Sounds like the game is gonna get even worse optimization

I was playing ts and it was using almost all 32GB of my ram when I had it in the background

Buts

Nuts

[limpid robin]

The optimization is getting better

[cold brook]

seasonal will not impact performance?

[full galleon]

All the maps except streets and interchange run fine for me. Maybe try ISLC?

[cold brook]

I dont know what gives you the idea that it will

if you are having performance issues dm me your specs and settings

[maiden robin]

I can tell you my specs but not settings

I don’t have eft open rn

[cold brook]

I know 😭 you said you'll send them tomorrow

[maiden robin]

Im not a tech savvy as i was a couple years ago so idk what islc means

[full galleon]

top result on google, it cleans the memory that apps like to reserve but not use, seems EFT is one of those apps.

[maiden robin]

I’ll take a gander tmrw but I need to sleep

[full galleon]

(I have 32GB also, and EFT will consume almost all of it without it)

[maiden robin]

Thank you all for answering my dumb ahh questions

[cold brook]

not necessary

can someone help me with create a distraction part 2

102 Hours, 2.23 KD, instant headshot....

Man i wonder if this guy is potentially cheating

[feral nymph]

my fault thanks

[full galleon]

Ah, true, I hadnt considered that

[cold brook]

with so few hours a kd that high is incredibly easy

[noble thicket]

don't forget those are PMC kills

[full galleon]

out of 24 raids ive survived 9 of them, around 40% of those deaths were due to bosses or physics(jumping off of things is painful in this game, turns out)

[arctic osprey]

IMO once you hit max str the 2a2 stim is actually pretty good. unless you're REALLY heavy it sits in a niche where it makes you underweight with lighter penalties than the MULE or obdolbos2, and its like a third of the cost

[full galleon]

so far the stims are just a decent sell value for me lol, their info cards are confusing to read

[noble thicket]

This guy prob has ~120 raids or smt.

[arctic osprey]

the simple version is green ones for fast heal (etg), yellow ones for slow heal + painkiller (propital), purple ones to quickly stop bleeds (zagustin), blue ones to go fast (sj6), and M.U.L.Es to make you able to carry lots of stuff

[full galleon]

Ive seen the green one, guess I shouldve kept it... oops

[noble thicket]

I heard that Charisma skill actually has a hidden feature. If you get to somewhere to Elyte, you will get a new phrases for PMC

[arctic osprey]

yeah green ones, MULES, and trimadols are like 150k+ on flea. sj6's are about 100k

[jagged stag]

when is that new season shit coming out

[full galleon]

can bots see your lasers?

[noble thicket]

By the end of May

[arctic osprey]

no

[sterile scaffold]

july

[noble thicket]

?

[sterile scaffold]

seasonal pmcs are july

[noble thicket]

Oh

Yeah, July

[sterile scaffold]

icebreaker is may

[jagged stag]

ok thank you

[full galleon]

the lasers being crooked at oblique angles is kind of annoying lol...

doesnt super matter cuz im not aiming with them at that time, just looks wrong

[sour stag]

they are zero'd for a certain distance

[sour stag]

thats wack as shit

ive never seen that before lol

[full galleon]

its fine when its pointed forwards, only looks like this when its not, like when im sprinting

[torn whale]

any tips for returning players? i havent played in 5 months

[sour stag]

nothing really

[vital sail]

Ouuu shiii

[sour stag]

game hasnt changed that much beside some things

atleast not of the top of my head

[full galleon]

I wonder if its like an FoV issue, the lasers...

[noble thicket]

[sour stag]

you will get butt fucked by people with t6 and shit but other than that the game is the same

[sterile scaffold]

before or after 1.0

[vital sail]

dont forget! Communication is key

[sour stag]

oh true

[torn whale]

i played 1.0 and got most traders on lvl 4

[sterile scaffold]

itsthe same then

[sour stag]

oh ur chilling then

[sterile scaffold]

you havent missed anything

[torn whale]

my account got stolen and i gave up until support helped

[sterile scaffold]

if anything its just the meta changing

[sour stag]

atleast u got it back

[vital sail]

js some gun attachments that changed

[sour stag]

more than most people can say that got their acc stolen

[vital sail]

everything else exactly the same

[torn whale]

yeahh im happy tbh but is it worth to do new prestige?

[sour stag]

uh if you feel its worth it

[vital sail]

Rewards are the same

[sterile scaffold]

escape -> prestige

[harsh shell]

whether its worth or not completely depends on if you want it lol

[sterile scaffold]

spam until Ropemax

[sour stag]

i dont want to prestige because i dont want to re-grind everything but some people like doing it

[full galleon]

I just now realized you can put backpacks inside of backpacks... -_-

[noble thicket]

Prestige are shi.

Only 2nd and 6xt are good.

[torn whale]

how is the escape tho idk what i have done so far

[noble thicket]

You can escape. You have 4 possible endings.

[sour stag]

#screenshots message spoiler

[vital sail]

have you not watched any guides

[sterile scaffold]

do a bunch of bullshit and then terminal

[full galleon]

Nope, coming in basically blind. Heard good things about it from friends tho. So far its "getting my ass kicked" simulator, but its fun lol

[sour stag]

theres a limit of 7

[keen mango]

Put a spoiler on the screenshot as well

[sour stag]

which is utter bullshit

[vital sail]

fake friends

[torn whale]

idk if im that far tbh

[noble thicket]

Spoiler: no cutscenes before you get to the final location Terminal.

No PVE missions or some good storytelling.

Grind. A lot of grind.

[full galleon]

None of them have wanted to play with me since I got it, so you might be right xD

[vital sail]

damn thats actually ass behaviour😭

[noble thicket]

One of the main quests requires you to hunt down cultist's Priest

[sour stag]

cant lol i just tried

[full galleon]

Im guessing this game is a lot easier in a squad

[keen mango]

Ah

[vital sail]

Much

[torn whale]

am i close?

[full galleon]

that might explain my rough time with it then

[sour stag]

you arent really

[noble thicket]

Way easier.

[full galleon]

totally solo so far

[keen mango]

No

[vital sail]

solo is the way though

[noble thicket]

You coming to Laby in squad and it's just all loot

[vital sail]

every kill and every piece of loot is yours

[full galleon]

Seems to be the way the story(such that it is, im not impressed) was written, solo.

[torn whale]

do i just need to grind the tour task then?

or all of em

[vital sail]

depends

[sour stag]

depends on the ending you want to do

[torn whale]

idk any works xd

[noble thicket]

Prob the easiest one is grinding everyone of them

[vital sail]

savior needs you to do every story task

[sour stag]

if you want the good ending you have to do every one

[vital sail]

but it IS the best ending

[noble thicket]

In other case you will need to hand Prapor 500.000.000 roubles

[noble thicket]

This will be the worst possible ending

[torn whale]

i want the easiest aka worst

[vital sail]

debtor is easy enough i think

[sour stag]

fallen is the bad ending

survivor is the neutral ending

[vital sail]

worst is 500m one

[noble thicket]

Yeah, you hand proportional 500mil

[noble thicket]

The easiest is the best.

[sterile scaffold]

its 500/300m

[sour stag]

from what

[sterile scaffold]

300m if you give him the case

[ember forum]

isn't there 4 endings or am I wrong

[vital sail]

Debtor is easier than savior

[ember forum]

what's the other one

[torn whale]

too much tho its atleast a week grind in labs shotgun run to black keycard

[ember forum]

a secret ending ?

[noble thicket]

Hmmm...

[sterile scaffold]

debtor savior fallen survivor

no hidden ending

[vital sail]

Fallen, survivor, debtor, savior

[full galleon]

Im on the "access labs somehow" and "give mechanic a horrendous amount of money" part of Tour. Kind of silly tbh

[torn whale]

so which one is in tour story line?

[sour stag]

the 20k is the cheap part

[vital sail]

tour is basically like a prologue

[full galleon]

😭

[sterile scaffold]

just do peacekeepers questline you'll get more then enough usd from it

[vital sail]

its the start

[ember forum]

Fallen Skies is where it starts

[sour stag]

wait till you have to pay 40 bitcoin

[harsh shell]

20k usd for a shit map

[sterile scaffold]

besides all of it is needed for kappa

[ember forum]

yeah Tour isn't even really the start lol

[harsh shell]

lol

[sour stag]

real

[noble thicket]

After you gave Prapor 500/300mil he will ask you to kill 50 targets on Streets with ONE life and also kill 4 PMCs in one raid.

[sterile scaffold]

the 50 targets isnt one lifeim pretty sure

[torn whale]

what thats way too much for 1.4k hours xd

[vital sail]

4pmcs is for batya no?

[noble thicket]

If you won't complete it in 3 days you will lose the Kappa.

[sterile scaffold]

both

[noble thicket]

Both

[sterile scaffold]

batya is 4 without dying, prapor is 4 in the same raid

[vital sail]

ah

[full galleon]

that sounds like utter nonsense, how? Are there certain raids that last longer than like 45 minutes?

[torn whale]

and whats the ticket story?

[sterile scaffold]

the actual questline to escape

[noble thicket]

@torn whale, so like, good luck grinding. Always use websites like Tarkov help.

You will eventually complete it.

[torn whale]

so that is the one i should grind

[vital sail]

tour and ticket are like your pmcs story

[noble thicket]

In one life doesn't means in one raid

[full galleon]

Oh, like without dying

[noble thicket]

Dude, you will need to grind them all if you want the easiest

[sterile scaffold]

falling skies -> the ticket

[crude spoke]

guys im new to the game and i just cooked

[noble thicket]

Yes

[torn whale]

so no tour ?

[sterile scaffold]

other story chapters are neded depending on ending

[full galleon]

More reasonable, still kinda harsh(at least from where I am lol)

[crude spoke]

so i spawned in gz with an akm and a kit basically, i rushed a playder spawn got a kill, insurance frauded my shit and extracted

[torn whale]

im just too confused but starting to clear up

[sterile scaffold]

No

[vital sail]

tour, falling skies and the ticket are all mandatory im pretty sure. Everything else depends on what ending you want

[sterile scaffold]

you only need to do other story chapters for savior

[torn whale]

aight ig im heading to labs

[full galleon]

I picked it up last night, and its a fun game if you enjoy getting shot in the head. 💀

[vital sail]

debtor too

[sterile scaffold]

you can skip it by reading the notes in cardinal safe and black safe on labs

[crude spoke]

no but i just felt the enjoyment of shooting someone in the head :D

[sterile scaffold]

so you dont need to do story chapters

[vital sail]

ah

[noble thicket]

Bruh, dude. You need to complete Tour to open locations, Fallen Skies to open the Ticket and after that you should choose between grinding all of them or grinding only few.

During the grind you will need 3rd intelligence center, lightkeeper and other grinding shi

[full galleon]

doing better than I am lol. I havent killed a player yet I dont think. Maybe a player scav, but certainly no PMCs

[sour stag]

once you get that adrenaline rush theres no going back

[sterile scaffold]

technically you can skip tour

[ember forum]

I've gotten a few PMC kills but a lot of my raids I'll go through and not see anyone else at all lol

I need USEC kills rn

[vital sail]

What map

[noble thicket]

Other quest lines being opened by finding specific papers all around locations

[noble thicket]

It will be kind of hardcore, using transits.

[torn whale]

i legit have everything done in hideout and just need 1 gpsa for intel 3

[sterile scaffold]

you'll have to do the majority of it but you can skip doing labs and lh for fallen and survivor

[noble thicket]

Well, complete Tour, Fallen Skies, check the info at wiki about starting other quests

[vital sail]

just search up what every ending is on youtube and decide for yourself

[sour stag]

or raw dog that shit

[sterile scaffold]

if you want the easiest ending just do savior

[sour stag]

easist is survior

[sterile scaffold]

its not

[vital sail]

what does debtor need

[sour stag]

its just grinding money

[vital sail]

After the 2 evidence

[sour stag]

#screenshots message

[vital sail]

do you need to do all of lightkeepers questline

[noble thicket]

No

Just the first one

[sterile scaffold]

finding evidence on 5 maps, 30 pmc kills onw oods, 100 dogtags, amulets in every marked key and then plant on lk island

[full galleon]

Same tbh, im kinda surprised how empty some of these raids feel tbh. Not that im complaining, ive been able to extract on the ones where everyone leaves me the hell alone lol

[noble thicket]

With 3 docs

[sterile scaffold]

you can skip it entirely, you jsut have to unlock him

[noble thicket]

Oh, yeah, you are right.

[vital sail]

hm

well im locked to savior anyway

[sterile scaffold]

saying grinding 500m/300m is easier than savior is just dumb

[noble thicket]

The Lightkeeper opens when you contact with Voevoda by the Batya quest line.

I mean, the quest line to open Lightkeeper

[ember forum]

I always scav on factory because I always spawn after all the PMCs have left or died lol

[noble thicket]

After that finding CQFDM and other shi

[full galleon]

thats a good bit of info.. :o

[sterile scaffold]

if yoiu are going debtor you might as well give prapor the case

[vital sail]

scav reserve or streets

[ember forum]

There could be 1 or 2 left but normally its a pretty easy place to run

[sterile scaffold]

giving him the case lets you get network provider a lot earlier

[ripe jacinth]

Is there a mtachmaking system based on your gear level now ?

[sterile scaffold]

no

[ripe jacinth]

Oh

[ember forum]

There never has been has there

[ripe jacinth]

So my friend just lied

[ember forum]

Thatd suck

[noble thicket]

Liars

[ripe jacinth]

So its still just fully random

[sterile scaffold]

yes

[ripe jacinth]

Aight

Thanks

[vital sail]

Wouldnt mind everyone being stacked out in my raids

[sterile scaffold]

you can wear altyn full lvl6 and queue against a naked level 3 on interchange

[ember forum]

I just mean early wipe itd suck to never kill anyone with good gear yk

[noble thicket]

Poor Steam player doing refund 🥀

[ember forum]

Arc Raiders gets old because of the fact I never get better stuff from anyone I kill hardly

[sterile scaffold]

free shooter born kill when it happened to me LOL

[vital sail]

Tired of going to labs or reserve just to see mfs opening the marked rooms or the safe with nothing

[ripe jacinth]

Yeah was thinking the same thing

As long as you dont constantly get stomped by ultra kitted players its better this way

[noble thicket]

Do the same. Do it faster.

[vital sail]

im not a bum

[ripe jacinth]

Also have marked rooms been buffed after 1.0 release or no ?

[vital sail]

Yes

[sterile scaffold]

since like a month ish ago they got massively buffed

pretty sure they toned it down

[ripe jacinth]

Nice

[vital sail]

M-massive?

[ripe jacinth]

Finally

[noble thicket]

[ripe jacinth]

Because when i used to play they tended to be pretty bad

[full galleon]

should I be keeping all these fkin keys btw? I keep getting them from drawers and jackets and ive no idea what to do with them

[sterile scaffold]

when they first buffed it

[vital sail]

Its still a gamble

[sterile scaffold]

youd get like 3 cards a raid from 314

[sour stag]

send ss of all ur keys

[vital sail]

you can still get fucked over

and need to survive consistently to make profits

[ripe jacinth]

I can see why they would tone that down but its still nice to get more value on average from those high risk areas

[noble thicket]

Check what keys are for quests or for some rich rooms and other sell.

Like marked keys. Sell them for like 9k on flea market and it will be bought immideately

[vital sail]

yesterday i got 3 fucking key cases from VO. Had to haul my ass to the extract

[ripe jacinth]

That is indeed the whole point

[full galleon]

#screenshots message

[ripe jacinth]

Me when I scam :

[vital sail]

shouldnt pay 10 mil for a key that wont make profits

[ripe jacinth]

Nah i'll just pray to find them in raid

[vital sail]

314 and pkpm need to be guaranteed profits

[noble thicket]

The key for the Rus Post car which needed for a the "Blue fire" or whatever this shi called quest. It spawns 100% under the blue car.

[vital sail]

cuz of how stacked dorms and reserve bunker are

[ripe jacinth]

Reserve bunker my beloved

[vital sail]

Its like 60k on flea

[ripe jacinth]

Cant wait to get stacked and start running it again

[noble thicket]

Not worth it. No one buys it.

It spawns 100% every raid.

[vital sail]

its only 60k. Just pay it and dont worry about someone else taking it

[noble thicket]

No one takes it...

[ember forum]

"This Shi Called Quest" like the rap group ???

[noble thicket]

🧟

[noble thicket]

I don't know how these quests are called in English, okay?

[ember forum]

yeah that's the one

[nocturne shard]

is arena bricked for anyone else? keep getting an error about not being able to get the right client version

[ember forum]

did you just get an udpate?

im patching rn

[nocturne shard]

i finished the update and it wont work idk why

[full galleon]

what is the point of melee weapons? Just sell value?

[ember forum]

the Red Rebel icepick can be used for certain extracts

[full galleon]

Using one as a weapon seems to be a great way of getting yourself killed lol

[ember forum]

but they're mostly just for drip lol

[ember forum]

correct

[sterile scaffold]

red rebel is the only one with a use, rest are just cosmetic

[ember forum]

unless you happen to be named Tagilla

[vital sail]

Really rare cases where you run out of ammo and are in their personal spacr

[ember forum]

they do a lot of damage at least

[sterile scaffold]

taiga used to have aura years ago though

[vital sail]

taiga does kost damage, rr also unlocks extracts

[full galleon]

bleh. ive got like 9 knives lol

[noble thicket]

RedRebel and Paracord for extract.

Other melee's are mostly for fan or when you are Zero to Hero

[ember forum]

you can one or two shot someone, they don't really care about armor much

[noble thicket]

For what?

[vital sail]

barter prolly

[full galleon]

No reason, apparently lol. I didnt know if they were good to keep or not.

[vital sail]

which knives

[ember forum]

Red Rebel is nice to keep

[winter harness]

i love getting 20 pen ammo from scavs and using leg meta

[ember forum]

idk about which might be valuable

[vital sail]

red rebel is the best really

[noble thicket]

A few knifes needed for one quest, but it isn't worth even keeping, since you can easily find them in 1 raid

[sterile scaffold]

red rebel/taiga are the only ones with value

[winter harness]

they should add a zero to hero mode

[ember forum]

you can't use Tagilla's hammer right?

[sterile scaffold]

1m/500k

[ember forum]

that's so sad fr

[noble thicket]

No

[vital sail]

id pay 10 mil for red rebel if i had to

Its just so good

[ember forum]

yeah bc you can't pick up melee

off bodies

[noble thicket]

You can buy it from Flea market

[winter harness]

i found it like 1 time on partisan

[noble thicket]

You can. You just can't do if with Tagilla.

[vital sail]

i found it like 2 weeks into wipe on shturman

[loud grail]

it would be interesting

[noble thicket]

For example Partisan or Shturman can have Redrebel

[ember forum]

oh ok

[winter harness]

interchange is the best map for cash its but its sometimes boring

[full galleon]

damascus knives. I had the brass handled one, forget its name, but I sold it

[loud grail]

reserve is good money

[ember forum]

going through the interchange mall is a whole horror movie

[vital sail]

Right click and choose "required search" on them

[ember forum]

Labyrinth will

not be fun

[noble thicket]

Nah, it's easy

[winter harness]

farming the ai gives hella good stuff

[sterile scaffold]

Yea no bro sorry to tell you

[vital sail]

not really no

[ember forum]

I mean yeah but its still just unnerving bc its so empty for me
