jagged laurel
languid vale
Small map, good fps and good loot
limber cliff
everywhere has med spawns, tech spawns, raiders or card rooms
tardy crescent
Snoreline is second nature to me
limber cliff
shoreline suuuux
tardy crescent
Always had great experiences on it
limber cliff
half as much loot as lighthouse or interchange
tardy crescent
Never pulled a colored card though
But thats just from a lack of trying
The room loot+player loot is just too sweet to me
limber cliff
only thing that makes shoreline stick out is the ease of cultist farming on it
limber cliff
otherwise it's literally just "spawn and run to the only 2 monuments on the map"
tardy crescent
The ideal perfect raid is PVP, good room loot, and cultists
I learned the spawns on snoreline so I get plenty of pvp outside resort
tardy crescent
But I do get it when people say its a bit limited
limber cliff
shoreline pvp is annoying af too
tardy crescent
Shoreline would benefit from a facelift
limber cliff
if you're not the first one there you're at a disadvantage
tardy crescent
Add some more hotspots and give resort a once over
limber cliff
add lighthouse expansion but shoreline version
languid vale
Shoreline only flashlight users
tardy crescent
iirc its one of the last maps to really get any noticable change
limber cliff
move resort out of the middle of the map and make a slightly smaller building
languid vale
Cant see shit
tardy crescent
The rest have gotten pretty sizeable revisions and expansions
tardy crescent
I hate room camping
Don't hate the ones that camp because its an easy kill
Resort with actual players willing to PVP is nice
tardy crescent
I honestly really love pier
languid vale
💀
tardy crescent
When I can get people trapped in it
Oh boy do I get a kick
I've been all over shoreline and gotten PVP everywhere so I'm definitely a bit biased
limber cliff
capturing outposts has made pier a dead zone
you're either camping it or getting shot
tardy crescent
Camping pier is something I'll do when I wanna BM
That orange bus at gas is a spot I fw a ton
limber cliff
guess how many of these are from camping pier with a thermal
tardy crescent
Too many
limber cliff
yes 🙏
tardy crescent
One place I'd like to see more PVP in is the village
median hornet
are thermals expensive
limber cliff
sanitar house or the one with all the jackets
limber cliff
are thermals expensive
thermal scopes are like 700k thermal goggles are 17m
tardy crescent
I would call snoreline my most played map and even then my experience fighting players there is pretty slim
median hornet
thermal scopes are like 700k thermal goggles are 17m
uhh thats alot
limber cliff
but thermal goggles are essentially just hacks
languid vale
The fawk would people be doing in the village
tardy crescent
Only fights I've gotten were on the edges of it
limber cliff
uhh thats alot
17m is a lot until you realize you literally get esp
like full on just
seeing people through bushes
limber cliff
prolly cuz they're made of plywood
tardy crescent
Yeah but similar houses in game don't let you blast through them
median hornet
17m is a lot until you realize you literally get esp
thast true but if you die with them you would cry alot
tardy crescent
Its almost deceptive
limber cliff
thast true but if you die with them you would cry alot
just dont go to a map that has a lot of angles to get shot from
tardy crescent
The T7s are a hard sell tbh
tardy crescent
A reap is better most of the time
Having a thermal overlay on constantly can be nice at times
But its pretty niche to warrant the 17m price
limber cliff
got killed by someone running a thermal as val on customs was the most nastiest shit i ever seen
it's actually weird how the best gear i've seen people run on customs was in the first 2 weeks of wipe
only time i've ever been killed by MAI AP and 7N40 on customs
limber cliff
But its pretty niche to warrant the 17m price
they're sooo good
tardy crescent
Those rounds don't exist smh
The T7s are good yeah but functionally a reap does the same
tardy crescent
Limited to just irons and the wild ass price
limber cliff
which is the main weakness of the scopes
languid vale
Yes but t7 cost 20x more
limber cliff
you just do a 360 and you've checked every area
limber cliff
is 17m worth it? no
10 mil? maybe
there should also be a shittier pair of t7s
for like 4m or 5m
tardy crescent
Honestly they should make all the thermals functional different
because right now that are all more or less the same
limber cliff
not the cheap thermals
the cheap thermals are like dollar store toys
it's weird how it goes from trash to decent to literally hacking
no inbetween any of them
tardy crescent
Well except for the fuckin torrey pines
jagged laurel
Well
tardy crescent
The ultima themal isn't horrible tbf
jagged laurel
The thing with t7 is you can hipfire
tardy crescent
Not good standalone
limber cliff
if they made a thermal laser t7s would be so good
and a little bit more worth the price
tardy crescent
When is BSG going to fix helmet mounted lights and lasers
limber cliff
helmet mounted lights lmfao
i tried running them to factory at night it was the saddest thing ever
limber cliff
and it was like 200k for the helmet and mounts
tardy crescent
Those offset mounts they added this wipe are 10/10
All I need now is some raisers and whatnot for scopes
limber cliff
havent seen someone using an offset mount this wipe
only time i've seen it was last wipe on an svd
clear flume
fervent ermine
The thing with t7 is you can hipfire
you can hipfire with everything
limber cliff
i dont get why you run 2 sights when 1 does the job fine

What's wrong with canted sights?
bold kernel
if i die in a offline raid do i lose my stuff?
tardy crescent
I dunno honestly
They feel really wobbly?
Hard to say exactly but definitely not how they were
dawn geyser
Depends on the weapon
limber cliff
What's wrong with canted sights?
"i will spend another 30k on a sight when I could just change the scope zoom on my main sight"
maybe if you're running like a 9x set scope?
silk galleon
i wanna put this on flee, someone knows the price?
tardy crescent
canted sights were viable back when it wasn't just the vudu/tac30
Now its pretty irrelevant when the good scopes have nice 1x options

is there anyway to tell between scavs and pmcs
i usually don't like to shoot first on scav raids, and it's almost gotten me killed a few times

prime remnant
is there anyway to tell between scavs and pmcs
regular scavs tend to have more colorful outfits than pmcs, jackets and pants
bosses, scav raiders and rogues are much different to regular scavs though

not sure if your flashlight will count as a tactical device, blue laser from skier is cheap and fits the quest
you don't need the sprut mount either, put the tac onto the forend and keep the sprut
astral sage

hardest part of all those is the muzzle brake because it's ll2 jaeger, but killing a few shotgun scavs or doing a scav yourself reliably nets you one

Do they have the found in raid marker in the corner? There should be a check at the bottom corner of its inventory icon if they are
And also if you find them in containers and then beeline to extract you'll get a run through, which means it loses found in raid. You need to be in raid 7 minutes to not get run through

i prefer playing this game solo...feels like the way it was meant to be played
not really
tarkov devs are trying to move away from solo play
and make more specified roles like assult and marksman
with more tactics
for controlling areas
frigid finch
then ill prolly quit...this game is way better as a solo survival experience...otherwise it will just become another garbage tactical shooter
jagged laurel
then ill prolly quit...this game is way better as a solo survival experience...o...
it wont
I play solio
but a duo or a trio keeps that feeling alive
while giving you more options
rather than say a loser 5 man

i wish they had no ability to group at all...especially since they cant separate solo and group
but it is what it is
jagged laurel
I mean
think of it like this
theres a group limit
playing solo just makes it harder
generally reserved for players with thousands of hours
or a few wipes under their belt
solid lion
what they need to do is limit group size for certain maps
frigid finch
yea ill never group up lol...so ill always be at a disadvantage

Not really?
Having to manage food and water doesn't make it a survival game
manage is an overstatement when food is common
tardy crescent
Its an FPS that took "hardcore" bits
tardy crescent
Yeah its got a few features that you could call hardcore but they are all incredibly shallow or a minor inconvience at best
jagged laurel
Yeah its got a few features that you could call hardcore but they are all incred...
its a hardcore shooter
its not a hardcore survival
solid lion
Hardcore means its live or start over
tardy crescent
Maybe Nikita's grand plan has the game morph into something closer resembling a survival game
Hardcore just means difficult
Insurgency sandstorm is something you'd call a hardcore shooter
solid lion
the term hardcore in gaming means there's no way to continue after death
jagged laurel
micecraft is hardcore cmon
tardy crescent
Individual games adpot hardcore as meaning one life
But thats not the rule
Modded stalker would be called hardcore
and on ironman mode you get one life but even without that its still hardcore
Bit more nuance to it than just saying "It has X feature so its hardcore"

Try doing the offline raid mode on custom to learn the map/loot locations. Then do Scav runs at night so you don’t have to worry about running into PMCs as much, fill your bags up and get out. Rinse and repeat.

scavs are to again help you if youre broke or suck.
if you suck? use them to straight up go fight and get better
if youre broke sure run it and try to get out
but if you dont suck, or arent broke. theres zero reason to ever run a scav
unless you want a risk free hideout item or task item which is pretty shit

yo quick question for the pros of this game, does having lasers actually improve...
It only makes the spread better

yeah lasers tighten hipfire spread

you can also use tactical IR search lights which are basically almost invisible in day time and it'll still improve your hipfire spread
weary raft
you can also use tactical IR search lights which are basically almost invisible ...
ahh interesting
dusky trench
Aj do you run bp or 85a1
weary raft
neither flechette all the wayyy
fn40gl as main gun in labs, and mp155 if they get close

you can also use tactical IR search lights which are basically almost invisible ...
so is 2-3 ir search lights better than 1 to improve hipfire spread?
ripe temple
that i'm not sure
dusky trench
Do they stack
ripe temple
i never tested that so idk
weary raft
holy shit it works so well, i have an infared one, and the hipfire spread is so much better
thanks dude changed my life
ripe temple
tbh i dont think they stack
weary raft
#insertthemore you know rainbow
ripe temple
yeah sometimes i use AN-PEQ-15 since it only removes 1 ergo rather than 2
and i'll have an actual flashlight/laser combo on too
and set it so my tactical device and laser combo aren't on at the same time
ripe temple
so its one or the other incase i'm tryna blind someone with the flashlight as i push
dusky trench
I see
ripe temple
still get good hipfire without showing off any laser and if i get aggressive i still have good hipfire and a light
but lately i've been saying fuck it and just running a DBAL
dusky trench
What is that
dusky trench
I can only use the blue laser
ripe temple
blue is pretty noticeable and the dot is pretty fat

whats the next best alternative to saker ASR
ripe temple
kac is a pretty decent cheap alternative

Isn’t the hk also less accurate the initial is pretty high
topaz forge
so is 2-3 ir search lights better than 1 to improve hipfire spread?
no, 1 is all you need
weary raft
no, 1 is all you need
thank you
topaz forge
recoil is different for every gun
topaz forge
the lower number doesnt mean much to compare the two
its all different for different guns
weary raft
i see what you're saying
so between the two, with "best in slot attachments", which is generally better
topaz forge
both the hk and m4 are pretty low recoil when modded out right, minus the first bounce
dusky trench
What’s the lowest rd recoil? Is it 44?
ripe temple
^RD-704 meta is 44 recoil but that shit literally is a beam while a meta m4 with 28-30 recoil which is still a little bit bouncy
topaz forge
id say the hk is better for the rpm but the m4 recoil is a bit more controllable
ripe temple
it helps a lot that the rd has a much slower firerate though
dusky trench
^RD-704 meta is 44 recoil but that shit literally is a beam while a meta m4 with...
Thanks
topaz forge
also you shouldnt go for absolute bis recoil builds most of the time, you can if you want to
but it gets expensive
weary raft
but if you rarely ads and mostly hipfire in labs, then ergo doesnt matter right
topaz forge
right
weary raft
thats why every meta rd704 i find has no canted sight
its a tac30 or vudu and just lasers
dusky trench
Is the canted sight still broken or is it just a feature now
topaz forge
no reason to run a canted sight with a vudu anyways
ripe temple
well its also cuz even scoped into a 6x the rd has very low visual recoil and easy to spray long range
topaz forge
i think its just a feature at this point lol, i dont think they fixed it again
dusky trench
Interesting
ripe temple
yeah canted still ignores low ergo on gun
dusky trench
Cruel

What’s good to you
ripe temple
its cuz its a small map and not much loot to go around
frigid finch
What’s good to you
kitted guns
dusky trench
There is very rarely “kitted” guns lying on the floor
ripe temple
idk i still manage to get some decent stuff out of factory from the tech box under med tent, postman pat, and sometimes weapon boxes
dusky trench
Place is picked clean
ripe temple
i usually just loot in that small area between medtent and postman pat then extract
takes me like 2-3 minutes
dusky trench
I get loot from killing people that bring meta guns to factory
ripe temple
i'm in and out then back to my pmc
but i havent scaved in like 2 months since i hit max scav rep
dusky trench
Lmao
ripe temple
if i want money i'll just run lighthouse or labs
interchange and reserve are pretty good too

That’s a funny fal

it is a cool looking m4 though

its just a rogue preset

this is the other

Ah makes sense
frigid finch

107 vertical recoil is a lot for the fal

Def a get 5 feet in front of lerson and spray

yea you gotta be right up in someones face even for hipfire with that

i think ill do my scav runs on factory until i have flea....getting kitted guns is nice for me

I am level 27 and have been struggling HARD

No dont reset thats way too much time to reset

its just pure pain and agony

Just do loads of scav runs

where do you think the pain is coming from

the thing is, this is my second wipe and I have learnt tons more about the game this wipe, so what im thinking is that if I reset I might have a better time doing quests and stuff and could cheese through way easier

my personal opinion is if you arent able to crawl out of zero, what makes you think you wont be right in the exact spot next time

what makes me think that is that I have way more game sense and experience now so I know how to not repeat those shitty mistakes again
fervent ermine

coral igloo
at the start of this wipe I only had like 100 hours
frigid finch
what makes me think that is that I have way more game sense and experience now s...
i mean, im at 30 hours brand new and ive already crawled my way back from 0 pretty easily....seems like the levels and skills you have are more valuable then starting over
topaz forge
he can only be hit from front lmao
sometimes yea
coral igloo
your 0 and my 0 are different
I have already been attempting to crawl out for a week
my levels and skills wont be very valuable if I cant even use them
frigid finch
i mean...thats my point...it took me like 1 day to crawl out
if you arent able to, that means your net direction is negative, which means that even if you start a new char, you will still be heading in a negative direction
coral igloo
atleast with a new char it will be fun
frigid finch
yea until you want to use flea and cant for 20-30 hours...or how much higher your skills couldve been
literally, it took me like, 3 cache runs on customs with just a pistol to be back to super comfy

atleast with a new char it will be fun

NOT the right spirit for the EFT. You either run forward fully equipped to crush people, or carefully loot to gather money for this equipment. Of course you can kill chad even when you have nothing, but again - usually from strategic position, and very rarely straight in the face.
Forget this word - coward, learn the word - tactics and waiting the right moment

I’ve gotten a few in the past two days that were awesome
limber cliff
med ones are the 2nd best
because they USED TO spawn stims and ledx
now they spawn with nothing
serene reef
Yeah no I've seen them mostly empty
Assumed that was a change after they split them into separate categories
limber cliff
i havent seen any patch notes saying they've been nerfed
so im just wondering if im 3/3 unlucky
