is it bad that i died with a single use lab keycard?

Good if ur running labs

I think they are about 50k per card

wtf so i just did a run in factory took the camera exit and all my loot disapeared
quick venture
and what's the loot like behind the locked doors?
noble blade
Which one?
quick venture
the ones you use lab cards on
noble blade
Idk
split vapor
I’ve been selling for 120k when my scav gets one
ripe crag
when i got to the next screen after extracting it was just my starting loot
waxen forge
The white labs card just gets you into the map
split vapor
Move it all over and the game will error and bring you back to the transfer screen blind
waxen forge
Other cards have colors and such. Some have top tier loot behind them.
waxen forge
Lab's cards were not rare really last wipe. Haven't seen as many of them this wipe but as the wipe progresses scavs tend to spawn with a bit better gear
I usually sell them. When labs first came out (and was unlocked) thats all people wanted to run. Got sick of the cheese raiders into the hall game. Barely ran labs last wipe.
split vapor
Tbh locking labs changed nothing
quick venture
what kind of loot is in labs?
quick venture
what used to be there?
split vapor
You could easily walk in with nothing and leave with 2million
blazing dirge
High end barter items

are bolts and screws higher end?
split vapor
Nah

Certain key cards unlocked some neat stashes
Like defibrillators, led something or other
split vapor
Violet and red
blazing dirge
The raiders themselves were great sources of loot
split vapor
Raiders are dumb as hell
Let them breach a door and just head shot them when they are locked in the animation
quick venture
are raiders bots?
blazing dirge
Yeah, their AI could have been better. Short of the aim bot.
waxen forge
I think people just overhype labs. Oh my god labs. It's not a great map. You could cheese the raiders into the hall and just wait for them to open the door then shoot them. I honestly thought it made people worse at the real game.
split vapor
Labs on release raiders would instantly aimbot you
next ruin
Labs is shit because it saturates the economy with items that don't belong there at the time.
blazing dirge
Labs were always seen as easy loot.
next ruin
mid-late wipe, nothing wrong with labs
blazing dirge
Not sure of the current state. Still to much?
waxen forge
Amem @next ruin
next ruin
early wipe = labs breaks game
blazing dirge
Ah
next ruin
Shouldn't be anyone on day 1 running around with HK/Gen4/altyn free farming everyone with Makarovs and baby ak's
blazing dirge
Well the random card spawn on scavs sorta allows for this
next ruin
There was no point in nerfing labs loot, I honestly just think early wipe it should be disabled/locked until a specific date.
waxen forge
When it came out you had all these level 4's wearing high end gear because they took a TT in their alpha/gamma. Pushed the button and waited in the hall lean peaking a raider. Hit him in the face. Took his kit. Rinse and repeat and then leave. They didn't know how to level traders or really play the game.
blazing dirge
So labs be opened up like a couple weeks after wipe?

west gull
whats best way to level up strength now that u can store ammo cases in gamma's?
solemn rampart
@west gull best ways to lvl strength is to either buy and throw tons of nades (do flashes) or to go into a raid with a friend and hit them constantly with melee while they heal themselves. You only need to get to lvl 4 for hideout.
west gull
using a knife hitting them?
solemn rampart
Yea, use whatever does least amount of damage, it goes by time hit, not damage done to lvl the skill
sweet sinew
is there any way to get a sight on the pp19 with just the level 1 traders?
solemn rampart
@west gull make sure u left click, not right
split vapor
You can buy a b13 dovetail rail and use anything
and there is a railed dc for that smg also
solemn rampart
@sweet sinew you could use flea market, if your not sure what works on the gun. Right click it and hit linked search
sweet sinew
thanks guys
solemn rampart
@west gull i dont know but if i remember right each nade is 0.1 xp
solemn rampart
Ah
willow pebble
Hey guys, sup. I have some questions playing as scav: if I kill a scav that is already being hunted by other scavs, they will hunt me too? If a scav player shots at me and I kill him, scavs will hunt me? Even if he misses?
solemn rampart
Well, thats easy money honestly. My best so far in a raid is going in with a toz and coming out with 1.2 mil worth of goods and valuables
split vapor
To not agro the AI, a pscav needs to hit you first and then you can kill them
solemn rampart
^
west gull
yeah but when u need like 100 xp for a level eventually thats 1000 nades which is 5m
solemn rampart
Thats like what, 3-4 flashdrives.
willow pebble
@split vapor even if he already killed another scav?
solemn rampart
@willow pebble i believe so
split vapor
yeah, it only matters about him hitting you
if you kill him the ai turn on you if he didnt hit you
west gull
how does the xp for strength work for being overweight then? @solemn rampart
solemn rampart
@willow pebble put it this way, no mater what if u shoot another scav (ai or player) the ai will aggro on you is a good mindset. Also scav boss are auto hostile
@west gull i dont know as i never tried since its the slowest way

Ok so, what's up with sensivity when aimed downsight. for some reason my aim is quite slow in ironsights, but REALLY fast in red dots/sniper scopes and slowing down aim down sight sensivity makes ironsights unplayably slow and reddots fine.
tender void
Check your ergonomics rating, that could be it.

No, its not that
its just how some scope sens is just like,
I got around it by moving the aiming sens settings from 0.2 to 1.0

@terse sedge But sometimes, you kick ass in offline because you are not afraid of losing gear, so you are breave enough to take risks, make manuevers, and take up positions. While in online, exposing yourself to risk will cost you a whole lot of gears.

Is wearing a low tier helmet even worth it at all?
99% of the players use bullets that can pen up to tier 3. Doesn't this basically make the helmet an expensive use for basically no effect?
brisk mortar
You never know what'll be fired at your head
so as long as it doesn't break the bank
always use a helmet
tender void
that also depends, if you are avoiding players and only face scavs....then the lower tier helmets still pays off
also, you might just encounter a hatchling or someone using pistol runs only, in which case....that lower tier body armor or helmet can actually protect you incredibly well.
brisk mortar
The SSH helmet can also bounce some rounds depending on how it its
I've had it bounce BP before.

But theres subsonic rounds in game

only 4.6x30
that would mean putting a silencer on any of your guns
would do nothing
olive plover
5.45 has subsonic too

5.45 US is
steady pilot
The US rounds
Are sub
But subsonic implementation is not in game
So you are just shooting the same suppressed sound
No matter the round
olive plover
I guess thats planned in the future?
steady pilot
Probably
olive plover
Since they inplemented the rounds
stone surge
They could aswell just delete the rounds
steady pilot
There are lots of oversights
stone surge
idk why they implemented not working rounds tbh
steady pilot
It's a beta game
olive plover
The rounds is working, the suppressor isnt imo
steady pilot
Game is not finished and everything is subject to change
This is oversight while they work on other projects
olive plover
Supressed supersonic 5.56 will still be loud for example
steady pilot
Yes. We know how subsonic is designed to be very quiet while supressed
olive plover
Mhmm
steady pilot
Just not ingame

I guess you need to add more sounds for that

weak palm
Hey, was just wondering where I'd go about buying a gamma container off someone?
I used to buy it on the eft trade subreddit but that one is inactive since fleamarket release
rose echo
Chances are you can't @weak palm unless they have the Kappa or something, as players could not reset their account when the patch released, so it would mean them having to wait three weeks to sell it
rose echo
Just this patch, you could try the trading thread on the forum, but I would think it is unlikey, and in the event there is one for sale, it will be pricey
waxen forge
I'd say better in a few months. Last wipe lasted so long that a lot of us reset ourselves just to have something to do. I think I just ran with a ton of cash in my gamma in backpack before I reset and whoever killed me got a nice surprise.
rose echo
I'm not sure, like I know I would not reset my game now just to sell a gamma lol
waxen forge
If this wipe lasts awhile people will be resetting by January/Feb.
rose echo
I would only wipe IF I completed everything, which is unlikely for me lol
waxen forge
Not sure how much Hideouts will change that though. Lots of grinding to upgrade Hideouts. My motivation to reset myself will be based on how long til next wipe. If it's not too long (3 or 4 months) then I will probably not reset. Six to 9 months and I may reset...
No way in hell I'm resetting now. Put too much work into collecting task items and the tons of stuff for Hideouts to start over.

was evading them though... i didnt even agro them... i saw a 3 scav guards... i decided to go around and not fight... was not even in line of sight of them still get one tapped...
this was on woods
same thing happened on reserve i crouch walked to a corner of a building i hear some one running.. i stopped... the scav rushed to my location a blasted me in the face

Scav bosses require a wide evade perimeter. If I hear scav boss at new gas on Customs I'm going to go way around there to avoid being shot at unless I'm willing to take the fight.

i thought i was far enough tbh i had to be atleast 80 to 100m out

late tangle
If you want easy money runs
Go reserve
I make like 800k for a 9 minute run
My money runs are always less then 15 mins
compact shore
Gotcha the 2 runs I did this morning I died instantly... because scav boss guards just track me down and kill me apparently
late tangle
Take a BlackRock m9 and 2 mags
A car medkit and painkillers in your container
And just run to loot spots loot then head to sewer manhole
Do it at night and it's easy money
compact shore
I’ll try that at when I get home
late tangle
You invest like 50k in a run only so it's basically pure profit
Just gamma one hose or a intelligence and you've already made 70k
split vapor
Because easy 4-6 million
plucky goblet
that wasn't the question
split vapor
Yeah it was
plucky goblet
no, the question was if not why
compact shore
Last time I check intel is like 120k and hose is 180k on flea at least
clear hazel
anyone want to team up?
cerulean cape
anyone got good loot route for interchange?
bold kernel
depends what you want for loot. most go to tech shops. youtube interchange
@clear hazel finish setup and you can use #pvp-lfg
ebon flume
am I just that bad or is it sometimes impossible to kill a sccav with markorov pistol?
on interchange
bold kernel
@timber shuttle log on to website to reset your account to what it starts with
1-2 bullets to head.
timber shuttle
Whats the purpose of that?
ebon flume
jeez, ok so i am just bad
bold kernel
probably so ppl can start fresh
pistol bullets aren't great. body shots can take over 5 hits. worse with armour
timber shuttle
Lol
bold kernel
unload clip is for chest and negating bullet spray missing. maybe if you use the 85 round mag
timber shuttle
I got hsed by scavs at the start a lot I feel u chucky
ebon flume
yea its the reason i try to get headshots in Offline..
bold kernel
still any armour above class two will take over ten rounfs
ebon flume
also these 5 minutes laoding times are a disgrace
bold kernel
out smarting ai best too. holding a known position ai focus on you. group up. and can even shoot through solid walls.
timber shuttle
Not super but not slow
normal abyss
@timber shuttle you can reset everything back to what you had at the start
people can sell everything including their old gammas, then reset and have an extra few mil roubles at the start
you can't do it at the start of a wipe though
you have to have somebody else hold onto your cash though
timber shuttle
Oof lol
cerulean cape
how much gamma actually sell for?
timber shuttle
How do you make them hold onto it? How to you give it to them
clear hazel
anyone looking for a teammate?
cerulean cape
drop in raid for them
timber shuttle
@clear hazel not rn lol sorry i played 7h already
cerulean cape
then they give back after you reset
timber shuttle
Aaa
cerulean cape
what is the best medkit? grizzly?
regal bone
Thing I need to do is get myself to level 5 on my PMC so I can get the flea market
delicate knoll
how does insuring weapons work?
cerulean cape
just play safer, if you go slow and safe its pretty easy to not get caught/killed
if you insure, and die, if noone picks up the weapon in raid it gets sent back to you
if someone takes it off your body it doesnt
tight kite
Seriously people's aim are inhuman
timber shuttle
Lol
regal bone
Yeah
timber shuttle
I agree
cerulean cape
aim is just all practice
regal bone
Well I want to get to level 5 so I can buy stuff from the flea market
I had lost my AK-74M yesterday. Was modded with reflex sight and flashlight and foregrip
Was a beaut
waxen forge
Don't overuse flea market @regal bone Need to level traders. With flea you are also going to pay 5-10x the cost of the item because people put stuff on flea to make a profit.
timber bolt
is my graphics card dying or is the game supposed to look like this now?
fiery stirrup
how do you squad up with someone?
timid hemlock
Hello, are there any sherpas here?
fiery stirrup
hello
cerulean cape
not normal @timber bolt
think you find sherpas on forums, go through the welcome process for roles and #pvp-lfg @fiery stirrup
timid hemlock
ok
timber bolt
restarting fixed it, thanks
delicate knoll
I DONT fucking get it
i tried over 6 of the scav extracts and none worked
then of fucking course the time ran out when i was stacked
what a joke actually
cerulean cape
theres always one thats guaranteed
regal bone
I make a point once I’m in to look at the extracts
cerulean cape
pull up map on 2nd monitor or phone, or hell, print em out. only takes few games to start learning em
delicate knoll
what do you think i was doing
"i tried over 6 of the scav extracts and none worked"
cerulean cape
then you didnt look at your O menu first
normal abyss
well clearly you went to the wrong ones
slender linden
vexy did they have any ? next to them
delicate knoll
all
normal abyss
or that
delicate knoll
im new
slender linden
what map
cerulean cape
if it has ? next to it its chance itll be open, but theres always 1 guaranteed exit that doesnt have ?
slender linden
im new to, im only lvl8
delicate knoll
it was on customs
split vapor
Double tap O in raid
slender linden
okay, do you remember the names?
delicate knoll
im so triggered actually my god lmao
split vapor
Exits without ?? are always open
slender linden
was there a Dorms Ex-V
delicate knoll
i caught the biggest break and the one time I do, I cant get out
and no
its whatever at this point
just lost tons of shit
cerulean cape
there had to be 1 that was open
normal abyss
well it's not whatever because you clearly did something wrong and it's good to know what it was so it doesn't happen again
slender linden
1-2 are always open. ones with ? next to it, have a price
slender linden
price meaning, it takes something
slender linden
Roubles, if its there, if you are a pmc
slender linden
-_-
knotty cape
yea a lot of the ?? extracts are like campfire or RUAF gate where its just sometimes there
slender linden
price also meaning. "if its there" its a risk
knotty cape
no more of a risk than going to a gaurenteed extract
slender linden
k
normal abyss
well there can be some risk
knotty cape
if its like armored train then yea
normal abyss
if you choose a shorter route to a ?
that ends up being not there that could be risk
knotty cape
but campfire or ruaf for example is just another part of the map
slender linden
k
knotty cape
k
normal abyss
calling it a price isn't really right though
slender linden
i know, its just the onyl word i could think of
normal abyss
all g
slender linden
also the reason i have 3k R chilling at all times xD
cerulean cape
interchange extracts are usually pretty safe from my experience

@split vapor sorry I didn't join you guys after you were so nice I didn't expect you guys to end up playing that late
crystal gorge
Hey all, new player looking for some advice on Trading/Selling/Buying/Keeping items and such
bold kernel
The wiki should have plenty of info on quest related items. As you play the game you'll find out what quest items are popular on the market as you build your hideout.
crystal gorge
Honestly, a bit confused about how the whole market/traders works. Maybe that would help clear it up a bit
bold kernel
What about it is confusing?
bold kernel
Check your file integrity? that sounds odd.
crystal gorge
How do you know what Traders want when they have the 'double arrows' trade icon next to items
split vapor
@clear elk no problem, tarkov was being fucking gay last night we bailed after 4 rounds
bold kernel
you can click the listing for details?
even the purchase button pops up a window of what transaction will be made.
the auto fill i'm not sure is accurate though. mine just selects everything but the trade only takes the required listing.
jaunty timber
If you can't figure out how barters work they're not a huge deal for understanding the core game so dont worry about it too mcuh
digital plaza
looking for some advice from experienced players on what my first approach should be for the game
slender linden
prepare thi butthole
jaunty timber
Flea market allows you to buy item listings from other players, or list your own items for sale. When selling an item it's best to look at the value on the flea market and the value to a trader. Eventually you will learn the price of each item/where you should sell them.
Traders are leveled up by three things: your character level, your influence with them, and money spent on them. You level up yiur character by getting xp (quests, raids, etc). You level up influence with a trader by completing their quests/tasks. You level up money spent on them by either buying items from them or selling items to them
@crystal gorge
slender linden
@digital plaza what do you know so far
bold kernel
@digital plaza Get a good feel for maps in offline mode.
Once you got extracts and some basic battle with ai down. Do some low gear runs in the real thing.
jaunty timber
@digital plaza use your scav as much as possible on either Reserve or Interchange. Walk around (try not to sprint unless needed because its loud ss shit). Try to find dead bodies to loot. Do NOT kill other scavs if they are AI, otherwise they will all start attacking you.
digital plaza
I know how the insurance and the stash and the whole looting aspect works just trying to find out the best map for me to learn more on that isn't factory since i got completely wrecked on it lul
granted that i do realize that i am gonna die alot regardless
ebon flume
I run customs and interchange a lot, shoreline isnt to bad either
ebon flume
Factory is just pure chaos, yea
digital plaza
what map wiki link is best
jaunty timber
Most early quests are on customs so
Wat
The maps are personal preference, whatever is easiest for u to read
If it's on the wiki its most likely updated
ebon flume
official game wiki has good overview maps for most
digital plaza
thanks, and when people are "scav raiding" are they just running scavs and just quickly looting then extracting?
ebon flume
no you can start teh raid as your main character (PMC) or scav, which is the same faction as the NPCs
digital plaza
so if i run scav other scavs wont shoot, unless a it is a real player?
ebon flume
or you shoot them first
jaunty timber
Correct
Scav players might shoot you
They might not
If yoh want to try and team with a player scav wiggle at them with q + e
ebon flume
they probably will cause they are d**kheads
umbral minnow
Just wondering, is Interchange better for scav runs than Shoreline?
umbral minnow
I just feel Shoreline is a bit easier to play as a new player. Mb I'm wrong though
digital plaza
so if i extract items with my scav do i get them on my pmc or do i just have to sell what i found
ebon flume
you get the inventory screen after scav raids and can stash it if u have enough space
also u dont get XP or quest progress outside of items on your main
digital plaza
nice i was kinda confused how that worked. Any other kinda tips you got off the top of your head?
ebon flume
learn the maps in offline mode
digital plaza
can i lvl up in offline
ebon flume
no
digital plaza
are some extract points only accessible through a key?
regal bone
Not that I am aware of
ebon flume
as a PMC u need cash for some
digital plaza
is usd more valuable than roubles
ebon flume
yes by far
digital plaza
does each only buy certain things?
ebon flume
check the peacekeeper for value of USD, i dont have it in my head
peacekeeper only accepts $$
i recommend reading the wiki a bit
digital plaza
definitely appreciate the help, sorry for the spam of questions!
ebon flume
no problem, I think everybodys been there
blazing geode
what maps are most beginner friendly, or alternatively what maps should I learn first
waxen forge
Customs is big enough to move around but small enough to get some action. Also customs has the first task from Prapor and some of the early tasks for other traders.
Interchange is best for loot as it has many weapons crates, tech stores, and med stores and also will be a place for a lot of tasks and where you can find task items.
Shoreline has good loot but most of it is behind locked doors which is why I recommend Interchange for loot runs.
delicate knoll
yeah i feel like i dont find much valuable loot at customs without having keys
to the dorms
ebon flume
also "customs key", which opens a spot in the warehouse iirc
waxen forge
There are some weapons crates scattered around on Customs and some duffel bags
Most of the good stuff is locked though
waxen forge
Experience
delicate knoll
where can i find the weapon crates? cus i feel like i looked at a loot map, but they were all locked in dorms
blazing geode
took me a real long while to learn alot of stuff but i feel like i do have alot of game knowledge
also getting less and less gear fear
like i start not minding losing guns idk if its a bad habit or not
if i die im frustrated about how and why i died not losing the gear itself
waxen forge
blazing geode
ok so, in this wikia page i see a ton of extracts right
are these not listedin the exits ingame?
waxen forge
Not all are PMC exfil. Some are scav exfil
If you spawn on Boiler side as a PMC you will have Crossroads and Trailerpark guaranteed.
cerulean cape
2 things, 1. whats the best medkit. 2. is there anything you can do for a limb once it reaches 0?
waxen forge
If you spawn Big Red side you will have ZB-1011 guaranteed
As a scav you will have some listed as exfil (maybe 3 or 4). Not gonna see all 21 or whatever there are listed
Ifak is 300 healing and only takes up 1 square. Salewa is 400 but takes up 2 squares. Many will run 2 ifak in gamma/alpha since it's 600 and 2 squares.
With new health system I keep grizzly when I get them and leave in stash to heal after raid.
cerulean cape
aight, yeah i brought a grizzly but takes so much space
waxen forge
Surgical kit will fix black body parts in raid. Will reduce total health points of the body part by a certain percentage though. So if arm had 60 health to start after you use surgical kit it's total health possible will only be like 45 now.
cerulean cape
hm k
so probably just run 2x ifak and painkillers in gamma lol
have hard time deciding what to actually keep in gamma during raids
waxen forge
I usually keep 2 ifak, a compact surgical kit (2 slots) and a bottle of ibuprofen
Then have keybar and wallet
Leaves 2 slots open for extra ammo stacks
cerulean cape
whats ibuprofen do? & wallet you just keep roubles in for like power station/
waxen forge
Ibuprofen is pain med. 12 uses per bottle and lasts longest of all pain meds.
cerulean cape
yeah,i bring keytool when i do somethin that needs keys, dont have too many keys yet tho
waxen forge
Wallet lets me put euro, us dollar, and rubles in 1 square
bold kernel
Has anyone been able to confirm if keyspawns in shoreline have changed or remain the same as before .12
waxen forge
So if I find US $, Euro, and rubles in raid I'm not taking up 3 squares
I rarely ever take paid exfil
cerulean cape
ah ok, totally will grab some ibuprofen then. been just running interchange to try and get few hundred K to sell on flea
waxen forge
Not sure @bold kernel
cerulean cape
been gettin lucky and like 100k+ every time, nothin like the 800k/run people are makin though that they say in here lol
just trying to make some money for decent kit instead of random scav armor/helmet w/ scav weapons ive extracted lol
waxen forge
100k sure and steady will add up fine.
cerulean cape
yeah, i ended up selling my icase for 1.4m cause id get way more out of the 1.4m with gear than that lol
up to like 2.6m though, just not sure what to spend on
bold kernel
@bold kernel The key spawns are the same so far.
steady pilot
Cheap kits
waxen forge
With crap to stock up on for Hideouts and Tasks I've got a full junk box, full icase, and a ton of full tac rigs.
ebon flume
do you get heal XP for healing outside the raid?
or is it just anyother money sink to make the game harder?
or time sink
waxen forge
Yea. I get healing xp/skill points healing in stash....now if I could just get metabolism points drinking in stash
Skill points
ebon flume
ye
waxen forge
Not sure about player XP
ebon flume
so when i get broke I have to rely on scav loot?
blazing geode
@waxen forge so besides you the extracts you have listed there are other ones you need to be wary of yourself to actually use them?
waxen forge
If broke scav runs are a good way to get stuff to sell
ebon flume
yea thats what I meant..
delicate knoll
im wonderin if anyone wants to do some runs with me
i have like no experience so im not the best at all
ebon flume
always check which extracts are available, some are "???" and you have to look visually. Boat on customs for example
waxen forge
So if boat is on your list and is available it will have a camp fire lit
waxen forge
I honestly don't try ? exfil very often on most maps. I check Smugglers Boat on Customs when it'
It's on the list because it's on the way to Crossroads anyway
I check rock passage on Shoreline
ebon flume
makes sense
waxen forge
But the rest I usually just go to the sure thing
blazing geode
okay so smugglers boat, if its unlisted is can it still be used an extract
or only listen extracts are actually working
listed*
waxen forge
Be aware like exfil camping. If so exfil camping is really a problem on Factory not so much other maps. Exfil campers just need to uninstall and go play COD.
blazing geode
yeah i lost a keycard because of one
waxen forge
Double tap letter O in raid. Shows list of available exfil. Ones with ? may be open...may not. Can check if you want or just go to the one(s) without question mark for a sure thing
blazing geode
yeah but what about the other ones, like the list in customs wiki is huge
my question is if only the listed extracts are relevant
bold kernel
The wiki page lists what all the extracts are for
waxen forge
All maps have a list of exfil. Some are PMC and scav exfil...some are just scav.
bold kernel
Biggest tip is to play offline mode alot
split vapor
Ofc listed exits are relevant its how you exit
waxen forge
Part of learning the game. For example we all are learning Mil Base ones since it just came out. We all had to learn Labs exfils when it came out. New people are learning them all
blazing geode
yeah but im just asking if you can extract via an exfil thats not listed because there are so many existing ones
waxen forge
I think you mean if you double tap O and it shows 4 exfils are those the only exfils to consider. Yes the list will have some with ? and 1 or 2 without. Those are the only exfil that you can use in that raid
bold kernel
If you found a brand new one not listed it would more likely be a bug.
jaunty timber
Whatever is in double tap o is what you can use
split vapor
Needs to be one of them in the list
jaunty timber
You canr always extract at a place because extraction points are dependent on where you spaqn
Spaqn
Spawn
blazing geode
extracts can vary from player to player? (in the same raid)
split vapor
yes
jaunty timber
If you queue with someone you have the same extract
split vapor
depending on what side you spawn at
jaunty timber
unless you queue as scavs together then sometimes you have different extracts
bold kernel
it can vary between scavs. even spawned together.
split vapor
so Side 1 will have Side 2 exits and vice
blazing geode
is that like a permanent mechanic
jaunty timber
which one
blazing geode
like if i spawn garage side in customs
jaunty timber
yes
split vapor
Yeah you need to cross the map to exit
jaunty timber
you have to extract on the other side of the map
blazing geode
will i always be forced to extract boiler side
bold kernel
You can go offline with pve off and test them out.
jaunty timber
it's not always the EXACT opposite if you use the appartment car extract etc
but yea generally you have to go some distance, you cna't extract where you spawn.
bold kernel
Well you could always disconnect and suicide out too
Only insurance and secure would come out though through their systems.
jaunty timber
Customs is the only map where extracting is super stressful because of how many choke points there are
blazing geode
how is suiciding beneficial
bold kernel
Well when I'm wounded at the start because of spawn rushes. I ditch my insurance to preserve my good gear.
I get suicidal and either make a play with hatchet or die and try again
jaunty timber
ah i suppose
bold kernel
more often then not I can make it work and I suffer only the time it takes for insurance to kick in
else 5 man has to spend time searching bushes and grass in hopes I ditched something
blazing geode
this is kind of a weird question but like do you never sprint for too long
like staying too long in the sprint animation
jaunty timber
after releasing shift?
bold kernel
no? I preserve my stamina if that's what your asking
blazing geode
not stamina wise
jaunty timber
your character has to actually stop running so your character should move for another ~0.5s
blazing geode
more of how vulnerable you are when youre in the animation
jaunty timber
the movement tries to be as realistic as possible, in real life you cant just stop sprinting on a dime
jaunty timber
you really cant lol
blazing geode
because thats something im trying to learn
timber shuttle
U killed me once xD
blazing geode
sprinting past small corners there might be someone in
feral gorge
Lmfao nice @timber shuttle when?
feral gorge
@blazing geode don't sprint past corners :P
blazing geode
i cancel when im peeking
feral gorge
@timber shuttle hm, were you in a 4 man or any kinda team?

I dont have friends in tarkov xD
