[fallen cloak]

i like semi because i can use my shots to gauge

[honest citrus]

I get that, bolties aren't for everyone

I can't do close range fights well anymore, parkinsons is getting worse

[brittle sinew]

man ive been playing for 4 days and i still havent found a salewa

[fallen cloak]

i had a streak of doing ok on bolties but that was only on cod mw2019

[honest citrus]

f

[fallen cloak]

ive found 1

[brittle sinew]

i find night vision and shit, good gear and all

no salewas

[honest citrus]

You workin on your medstation then?

[fallen cloak]

yea just craft em

[brittle sinew]

like i can even find measuring tape for the generator

i wish bro

[fallen cloak]

relatable actually

[honest citrus]

What maps you runnin tho

[brittle sinew]

them all

found an iskra just before, thats a W

[honest citrus]

Okay are you going for fights or taking it super slow or anythin?

Genuinely trying to help gauge how to help btw

not tryna be an ass

[brittle sinew]

no need

[honest citrus]

used to sherpa so I got some tips lmfao

alrighty, I'll leave ya be then

[fallen cloak]

hmm yes

[brittle sinew]

im just unlucky lol

[honest citrus]

f

woods has been goated for me the past 3 or so wipes

[fallen cloak]

big 14 what the fuck goin on

broo

2 wipes ago

before ppl knew how much loot is on there

woods was so crazy

i got dumb rich off of just looting sugar

but now ppl kinda know and you tend to get ppl shooting at you from across the map

[brittle sinew]

i found two PNV-10T NODs

cant buy mounts for them lol

[fallen cloak]

💀

[honest citrus]

I've only had timmies, both day and night raids too. Just sounds like the EU people are being smart bc here in NA people are fucking stupid

[brittle sinew]

shit at least i dont have to buy NODs when i get to lvl 15 then

[honest citrus]

true

[fallen cloak]

NA moment

[honest citrus]

The monocular nvg's are actually p solid this wipe

they feel more clear

[fallen cloak]

really

[honest citrus]

used to feel really crackly

[fallen cloak]

ive always hated those

[honest citrus]

Idm em

[brittle sinew]

they updated NODs a couple wipes ago

made them all more clear

[honest citrus]

They have the farthest vision range outta the NVG's in game atm

Ah

[fallen cloak]

yea and i remember trying the monos and throwing up

[honest citrus]

Never touched em past like the first couple of wipes

I like the mono's for nighttime sniping on maps

It's nice

I've gotten a few 200m+ kills on shoreline at night with em, people think they're safe at night from a distance

[fallen cloak]

💀

the phantom menace

i want my adars back man

cmon nikita

gimme some adars

[honest citrus]

My ign is literally StinkySniper

[fallen cloak]

yall seen any adars on scavs?

[honest citrus]

Quite a few

[brittle sinew]

fence sells some

[brittle sinew]

yes, with m885a1 too

[fallen cloak]

yea but i dont rly wanna pay 50k

[brittle sinew]

true

[fallen cloak]

dang i havent seen a single one

[brittle sinew]

in the last 5 or so games i havent even used rifles

[fallen cloak]

tbf ive also been dying to scavs more than usual so theres that

[brittle sinew]

tried and true, all I need

[honest citrus]

I got my m700 unlocked from jaeger 2 for trades and I've been sitting with it since, it's a good time

Hell yeah

PB enjoyer

[honest citrus]

scavs are cracked as hell rn

Even axel and people are struggling with em

[fallen cloak]

yea but i also tend to not really utilize cover like i should

[brittle sinew]

i like the new scavs tbh

they're actually challenging

[honest citrus]

I don't mind the AI changes

[fallen cloak]

like i'll take a couple shots from cover and then just move out into the open to get a clearer shot and then get blasted with buck 💀

[honest citrus]

but them eating 3 headshots of 45 fmj is a bit much if they ain't got a helm

[fallen cloak]

ive had this habit for centuries

[fallen cloak]

ump moment

i do love how all smgs except for the 9mm are actually good

[honest citrus]

not even ump, fuckin USP

[fallen cloak]

the true chad

[honest citrus]

Dude ate 3 shots, turned and iced me

[brittle sinew]

PPSh 🙏

[honest citrus]

the ppsh is so good

[brittle sinew]

I'm so glad they moved drum mags to LL1

[honest citrus]

so fun

[fallen cloak]

hitting knees be harder than hitting heads

[honest citrus]

sameee

[fallen cloak]

im just garbo at leg meta

[honest citrus]

Man I love sniping on shoreline, shit's so relaxing

I just vibe for 20 mins and then blow out some dudes knees from 300 meters and as he panic hobbles I take his head

So nice

[fallen cloak]

💀

[honest citrus]

I'm a fucked up individual but it's alright, I do the fucked shit in games and not irl

Man I feel kinda bad for the player scavs I do that shit to

[fallen cloak]

do you take food

[honest citrus]

always

every raid

food and water

[fallen cloak]

bro be eating good

[honest citrus]

level 12 metab rn

[fallen cloak]

i used to do that

[honest citrus]

only level 19

[fallen cloak]

but i wasnt trying to kill ppl

i would just sit in a bush for the first 20 minutes so most ppl are out of the raid when i start walkin around

[honest citrus]

Used to do that forever ago too

simpler times, when I was learning the game

[fallen cloak]

rly had my heart racing

[honest citrus]

Dude I had a 3 stack literally walk on top of me yesterday without knowing I was there

My fuckin heart

[fallen cloak]

YOO

me and my homie had like

a duo and a 5 stack sandwich us

and we somehow survived by laying in the grass

[honest citrus]

lmfao

I was in one of my sniping spots where I can see from the pier down to the scav island, and they walked on top of my player model without knowing I was there

[fallen cloak]

it was between big and small skelly on customs

the patch of grass in the direction of stronghold

[honest citrus]

I then killed one who tried to do his fuckin fishing gear quest and waited his friends out

dropped em both when they went to go secure his stuff to bring back lmfao

[brittle sinew]

fuck it we ball

[fallen cloak]

i somehow have never gotten killed when im doing that quest i still dont know how

[fallen cloak]

ballin

[honest citrus]

gotta fully kit a 1911, shits fun asf

[honest citrus]

Since you aren't in NA, I'm the goblin who hunts people doin that quest early wipe

[fallen cloak]

im glad im not in na

[honest citrus]

Man in that same spot I've gotten a 700m kill on a pmc at tunnel

Imagine bein him

God I'd be so pissed

[fallen cloak]

this is why i always search cover

[honest citrus]

Oh it was a clear day

and I can see the side extract there at tunnel

so he crouched and I just, popped him

wasn't even intending to kill someone at extract, just saw it and took the chance lmfao

Never ever ever will I make a shot like that again, but it is what it is

I forgor to say again

so glad they didn't remove the barking dogs over on one of my spots on shoreline, it's good ambient noise

[fallen cloak]

the side where you can crouch behind that rock?

or the one thats just the street

[brittle sinew]

Man ffs

Medical table in the USEC camp didn't spawn shit

[crystal musk]

ask me man got 5 cans of food and 5 bottles of water

[soft coral]

put a sight on the front of the supressor

[brittle sinew]

naw it already has a sight

[honest citrus]

Asking about the tunnel side extract or something?

Or the dog audio I brought up

[fallen cloak]

the tunnel

[honest citrus]

Ah yeah the side of the tunnel

With the barbed wire barricade and shit

[soft coral]

earlier I noticed a body on woods
in UN roadblock
guy had killed himself with the barbed wire lol
he had a backpack full of random loot

lmao

@stark torrent tarkovsky?

[brittle sinew]

they must be friends right?

[prime hinge]

duo and 2 single

[ionic rock]

anyone somewhat fluent in russian, at least enough to help me pan something out? I don't want to rely on google translate for informal speech but I want to know what "what the fuck..?" in a disturbed context is in russian. drawing something goofy, lemme export it real quick

this, then the second shot was going to be a very close shot of killa sweating with shaky eyes going "What the fuck?"

[soft coral]

I'm not russian but you can use a couple of different phrases

что за хуиня is one that comes to mind

Ну нахрин

one means 1s means what the fuck
second means well fuck

streets got some good photo opportunities

[soft coral]

most maps of tarkov does

[brittle sinew]

My home

[wintry ridge]

yeah yeah nah

show me one good photo of interchange

that isn't just the bonfire of shit inside

[soft coral]

I had a good one with a cat and the word "хуи" next to it

that alone is 12/10

there you go

fixed it for ya

[wintry ridge]

does that just translate to meow or somethin?

[soft coral]

no it translates to dick

or cock

hehehehe

[stark torrent]

xyn means cock yea

[soft coral]

hehehe

[soft coral]

When tarkovsky?

[soft coral]

Lamooo

[terse pecan]

wait can i even post memes about tarkov here?

imma delete it anyways

[soft coral]

you can

[soft coral]

ofc get shot by scav on interchange

love it

fk scav runs

we start to do only pmc runs

[brittle sinew]

I've done like 2 scav runs so far

mainly because the matching times fucking suck

[rugged stump]

Is scav ai really that bad this update? My buddy said he’s about to quit because it’s too much of a hassle

I haven’t played yet since I’m getting burnt out

[soft coral]

shot a scav in the face yesterday point blank
saw his head twitch and he 2 tapped me with the sks

it was definitely fun

[brittle sinew]

honestly just a skill issue, like not even joking or anything

I've barely had problems with scavs

Might be because of my playstyle tho

Scavs are stupid when you keep quiet and sneak around

[soft coral]

I mean there's always those stupid moments

aslong as you aim head and hit the head you should be fine

[gilded path]

Xyn

Хуй

[brittle needle]

https://youtu.be/RbTIk9Z-DpQ I just wanted to plant my zibbo

jesus

[fallen cloak]

who

i just looted the tarcones key from a scav

i am very happy

[soft coral]

the tarkov category

[fallen cloak]

oh sam is on a stream

r the drops worth at all?

[soft coral]

idfk

[novel depot]

I'll gladly take any tips I can get for early wipe. All my buddies I played with on previous wipes left the game and it is BRUTAL playing solo. I've played maybe 4 wipes seriously now but most of that time was with a 2-5 players. I have like a 20% survival rating this wipe

[soft coral]

Don't get hit

aim head

don't pack wrong ammo into the wrong gun

don't run around everywhere

you can be heard from miles away

ah you played 4 wipes

I didnt read all of it

[soft coral]

stats in this game do NOT matter

Because they can be easily inflated
k/d includes scav kills
and you can farm survives by taking car extracts and doing minute runs on factory night time

yes it feels nice to have high survival rate but it means nothing at the end of the day

play slow

dont rush

[novel depot]

I think my biggest problem rn is just that I only have dogshit guns to use. AK's that kick to the sky or VPO's with HP ammo. Currently level 5. I've gotten the drop on people several times and most of the time my muzzle climb is so bad I can't hold on them if i'm aiming for headshots

[novel depot]

walking is a good way to be one tapped sometimes tho

[soft coral]

semi auto my friend

[soft coral]

^

[novel depot]

Gotcha

[soft coral]

dont need half a magazine or more if you aim head and kill him in 2 bullets max

[novel depot]

True

[soft coral]

using auto on guns such as aks and whatever is not a good idea

at that point you're better off running kedrs or ppsh

and aiming for legs

why do you think people run mosins early wipe

[novel depot]

Aren't the scav guns like actually inaccurate now too? I missed the last 2-3 wipes where they added durability or whatever

[soft coral]

well yes

scav guns get like 50/100 durability now

so they're horrible to use

[novel depot]

Gotcha

[soft coral]

no matter how much time it takes

aslong as you're completing quests

you're doing perfectly fine

[novel depot]

What should oyu do with scav guns if vendors won't even buy them sometimes?

[soft coral]

fence

[novel depot]

Ahhhh gotcha

[soft coral]

take off any attachments they might have

and to fence they go

[novel depot]

Word

[soft coral]

🤝

[novel depot]

I used to have a farm route running Interchange scav runs and hitting up the back of Oli and some other places but now it keeps throwing me in at like minute 35 and I run into parties of PMCs lol

[soft coral]

brb going into woods scav raid

[novel depot]

Killed a couple a few times but man I swear every 5 stack goes interchange

gl sir

[soft coral]

stop doing interchange

start doing woods

and learn the stashes

[novel depot]

Woods is so ass to play with no sights though

And generally empty

I'll give it a shot though

This is the current poverty loadout LOL

[soft coral]

aint that bad

[novel depot]

YEa it's working alrihgt

Im gonna run out of PS ammo soon though. Found like 80 on a scav

HP is like hitting people with paintballs

I swear it's like first week of the wipe and all I run into are uber decked dudes with tier 4-5 armor and facemasks toting decked out SMGs or LMG like guns. Is the RMT really that bad? They always have names like Xiou_Ma and shit too

[soft coral]

idk

[novel depot]

Just got rushed by a dude with slick armor by that name unloading M855a1 into me

On customs...

[glacial stag]

idk me and the boys have found several armor class 6 armours by now

[novel depot]

Idk why people get excited for early wipe when 50% of the playerbase just spends 50 bucks to get 50 million RMT roubles

[glacial stag]

skill issue on your part

[novel depot]

I mean it's really a gear issue

I physically don't have ammo that can fight that

[wanton loom]

My advice: Struggle up until level 10 or 15 if you want to challenge yourself and then DITCH the game for at the very least, a couple of weeks

[soft coral]

Lol

[novel depot]

lol honestly might be the strat as a poor solo

I feel like the RMT and Hackers/Carries go wild at the start of wipes. I shouldn't be seeing labs ready kits in 80% of my raids

[soft coral]

Eu server?

[novel depot]

Nah east US

Home of the RMTers, land of the carried

In one a of my last Customs raids a dude with a RSASS wiped out like 3 bodyguards in two seconds then ran in and pre-fired me in the corner lol.

Dude looked like a tank

I hate to sound whiny but this game was so much better around 2017-2018 before the wave of children RMTers and hackers latched onto it.

Early wipe used to actually feel like a bunch of hobos fighting

Granted the mosin was absolutely busted but still

[fallen cloak]

i had 50%+ the last two and rn im at like 30% its ok to struggle 👍

[novel depot]

haha yea I feel you.

People are just uber geared this wipe idk

[fallen cloak]

thats what im trying to tell myself

eh

[novel depot]

[fallen cloak]

aslong as there is rogues and scav bosses good gear will always be accessible right from the start of the game

[novel depot]

Yea it just sucks that it's like every other raid

[fallen cloak]

i havent met any super geared ppl i dont think

[novel depot]

Like of the PMCs i've killed it's been like level 20+ for more than half of them. And they always have a teammate that finishes me off. I need to stop being greedy lol

[fallen cloak]

i have definitely been meeting more squads than solos

and i actually just killed a lvl 25 ttv

[novel depot]

lol the mosin is so busted. Just got two pretty decked dudes in interchange as a scav. Couldn't get to the other guy though. Every scav player was swarming and trying to kill me for the loot.

[fallen cloak]

yea mosin is back to being the best early wipe weapon by far

but i dont hit my shots so i dont use it

[novel depot]

I just shot into the dudes flashlight and prayed and somehow came out on top. Defo a lot of luck lol

Que every scav player running around spamming voice lines lol

[fallen cloak]

being able to 2 shot anyone is pretty pog

but you do have to hit thorax for that

[novel depot]

I got these guys head eyes I guess because they dropped in one shot. RIP to losing an SR-25 to that

[fallen cloak]

it is the great equalizer after all

[novel depot]

https://tenor.com/view/tarkov-head-eyes-gif-20019010

[soft coral]

mosin has always been a strong gun

[novel depot]

I wish I was half this fortunate on my PMC runs

[fallen cloak]

true but it hasnt been the definite best for a while because it got a bunch of nerfs a while back and because of the ps buff last wipe

[soft coral]

last wipe with 7.62x39 ps

man was that shit "fun"

[gilded path]

why the fuck

i go to raid before

i ahve good 100 ping

but i go shoreline

i get 150 ping

and desync all the time

AND FCKING SANITAR SPAWNS

[novel depot]

I avoid shoreline at all costs

It runs terrible, all the decked out guys go there, and it's just a bad map tbh

[gilded path]

quests

i hate shoreline really

[novel depot]

Truuu

I'm still looking for Salewa's

Gonna just run Factory with an MP7 and see if I can't fine an MP-133 for Gunsmith

[soft coral]

craft em chief

also yes fk shorelien

[novel depot]

I don't have a medstation or generator yet LOL

[soft coral]

you got jeager unlocked?

[glacial stag]

buy them for jaeger

its been several days since wipe so he finally has them in stock

[soft coral]

he might not have jeager unlocked

that's why I'm asking

[glacial stag]

its the first quest ppl do

wdym

[soft coral]

I havent done it

[novel depot]

Oh I do

[soft coral]

cuz I did lighthouse with gambito

lmao

[glacial stag]

ivan i will strangle you

❤️

[soft coral]

I'll cum

[novel depot]

Is it worth trading buckwheat for an MP-133?

[glacial stag]

you bulgarians are kinky

wtf

[novel depot]

The gun is perpetually sold out

[soft coral]

I wanna play
but I'm not playing much cuz of uni

[glacial stag]

more worth it than selling it

[soft coral]

plus I haven't played in some time so I'm very very rusty

[novel depot]

Fair

[glacial stag]

yeye keep coping

[soft coral]

ok

[novel depot]

You Europeans are savage to eachother LOL

But i'm from burgerland so i'm sure i'll get it too

[glacial stag]

the guy played the entirety of last wipe on scav

[novel depot]

LOL

[glacial stag]

i have a genuine hatred for him

[novel depot]

[soft coral]

oh?

no

it wasn't the entirety

i got to 46 and I was spamming pmc/scav/pmc scav

and by the end

I just started playing less and less

and just joined for a scav raid or two per day

[glacial stag]

ye atleast last wipe one could get into a scav raid

[soft coral]

tru

[glacial stag]

legit spent a combined 1.5 hours in queue and havent found a raid as a solo scav

i want my night time woods back

[soft coral]

kekw

[glacial stag]

https://tenor.com/view/zoolander-walkoff-ben-stiller-owen-wilson-gif-5216128

still need to learn your way of ratting and remember all woods stashes

[soft coral]

I know them

I never forgot them burno

I might be super rusty at the game

I might not be the best at the game

but I will never

forget woods stashes

one simply cannot

[fallen cloak]

true rat

[novel depot]

My life in factory. PMC run get 4 PMC kills and 5 Scav kills only to die to a player scav with buckshot to the face right at extract LOL

[soft coral]

and I'm proud

The factory experience

[fallen cloak]

i did delivery from the past early

on night factory

met a guy with the .45 vector

[novel depot]

RIP

[soft coral]

NIGHT factory
.45 vector

[fallen cloak]

he whiffed his entire mag and i killed him

needles to say

had he hit me i wouldve been dead

but he had nvgs on and i had a flashlight pointed at him

[soft coral]

surprising that most of the time when you stand still people miss their shots

[novel depot]

Bro this game needs to stop spawning me at 36+ minutes on interchange 10 feet away from geared PMC's. I don't want to spawn there an i'm sure they'd rather I not spawn there either.

[soft coral]

interchange

[novel depot]

Waiting in an 8 minute que to get head/eyes while i'm spawning in is ass

[soft coral]

bro

who will tell him

[novel depot]

Best map for scav loot don't @ me

[soft coral]

.....

[novel depot]

Woods scav runs

[soft coral]

oh hell naw

he dilusional

[novel depot]

[soft coral]

I mean

for pcb/ram/psus/ and all those tech items

interchange is not bad

for the farming quests and stuff

its decent

[fallen cloak]

imagine spending more than 10 seconds on any scav run ever 💀

[novel depot]

Back of Oli I find a Gas Can/Battery/Engine/Hoses like 8/10 times.

At least one of those

Plus the Emercom stashes out in the grass are rarely ever hit for some reason

[fallen cloak]

emercum

[novel depot]

I net like 100k+ on interchange scavs but they keep spawning me by 5 stacks 5 min into raid now for some reason

[fallen cloak]

nobody can get me to go interchange until i have to 💀

[glacial stag]

i just spam night time woods

really chill and theres alot of places where ppl dont go

[fallen cloak]

i really just run to extract on factory

[novel depot]

https://tenor.com/view/black-eye-eye-dark-darkness-gif-12072943

PM woods be like

[glacial stag]

nah

up untill 4am its like day time

[fallen cloak]

depends on whether the suns out or not

[novel depot]

I need to learn woods though fr

I have always hated that map but I need to get over it.

[soft coral]

literally just go woods

woods ❤️

I'm glad I learned woods as a first map

[novel depot]

The visiblity is just so poor. I can hardly see PMCs on customs let alone through 60 bushes proned on a rock in Woods.

Woods was chill before the expansion but now I feel like you run for 10 min to find one loot spot

[soft coral]

that's fine

nobody can see anything too

:D

[novel depot]

All the ESPers do LOL

[soft coral]

eh

[glacial stag]

https://tenor.com/view/sad-cat-sunakook-tired-exhausted-gif-24687868

[novel depot]

I can at least out shoot wallers on other maps

[soft coral]

the map is not as bad as people make it out to be

[glacial stag]

before woods expansion it was fuckall cursed to me

[soft coral]

I never played the old woods

thankfully

[glacial stag]

ye there was 3 pathways to go from one side to the other

[novel depot]

It was much easier to extract before the expansion LOL

[glacial stag]

:)

[novel depot]

Now I just dehydrate and die

[glacial stag]

you dont bring water to woods?

[novel depot]

I am a broke ass bitch

I should buy some tho

[glacial stag]

12k

bruh

[novel depot]

That's like the price of beginner ears

Money ain't grow on trees

Especially with these PACAs costing like 30k

[glacial stag]

you buy gsshs?

[novel depot]

I need a junkbox bad but im only level 5

[soft coral]

how poor can one be

[glacial stag]

nah ivan

i swear

this man is not real

[soft coral]

I think we're just schizos again

damn it bruno

OH GOD

HIS STASH

IS THE SAME UNORGANISED MESS

[novel depot]

lol I told you

[soft coral]

ASS GHOSTY"S

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

delete that pic

before I stab you

[novel depot]

I NEED A JUNKBOX

[soft coral]

DO SCAV RUNS ON WOODS FOR MONEY AND BUY ONE

[glacial stag]

[novel depot]

Fixed

[glacial stag]

no wonder your stash is a mess

stg eod mfs have the worst stash management and dont sell shit

[novel depot]

Ok boys where are the prime loot spots in woods for scav runs

[soft coral]

oooh ma gahhh

[glacial stag]

you can easily buy junkbox

[novel depot]

Walk me through it

[soft coral]

I'm lazy its late

I'm not opening the game

I can help you tomorrow

[novel depot]

Sounds good

[glacial stag]

usec camps, scav village, ghetto saw and scav tower

[soft coral]

ghetto saw

[novel depot]

Im gonna assume the internet refers to those places the same

[glacial stag]

the main building has good loot spawns and close to scav village

now sure about ghetto saw but the rest should be the same

[novel depot]

Also aren't most of the loot spawns like right next to PMC spawns? How woudl they not be hit?

[glacial stag]

thats why i run night time 😄

pmcs just fly by most of the loot places

[novel depot]

What are the safe time windows for night runs before it gets dark

I don't think I even know the Scav extracts on woods lol

[soft coral]

oh god

ghosty was the exact same

[glacial stag]

if it isnt cloudy you can see clearly till 4am roughly

[soft coral]

before I thought him woods

[novel depot]

https://tenor.com/view/pigeon-wif-a-pistol-monkey-buccaneer-gif-23654582

Why do I feel like this is Ivan playing woods

[wanton loom]

I remember hearing about NA CSGO servers being full of dicks and cheaters and ESPers and being also dead. Meanwhile, European servers are just still alive and have the usual banter

[novel depot]

Yea CS is hit or miss on US servers rn

I almost exclusively played ESEA to avoid them back in the day

I mostly haven't seen cheaters in CS recently but I did play one match where a teammate got like 60 frags and was just running around the map singing over mic soooo

[glacial stag]

basically this is what night time woods looks like till 4am if its not cloudy (ignore that its interchange (i couldnt find any footage of night time scav runs on woods)) also @white lynx

[novel depot]

As a former rank A esea player I went back to regular MM and got clapped by dudes in like nova elo lol. It's randy.

Oh that's totally manageable lighting

WTF did I just watch at the end of that clip

[glacial stag]

esoteric movement tech

[novel depot]

[wanton loom]

NA servers in a nutshell?

[novel depot]

lol fr

[fallen cloak]

literally just sell all the gear

[fallen cloak]

bro got the tyler1 earrape mic

[novel depot]

I legit don't understand where all these mines are in woods

Shit is retarded

[soft coral]

[novel depot]

I was nowhere near a warning sign, at least I thought, and got instantly double tapped by them

Dead immediately...

Shits wack

Fuck that map mmmkay?

[soft coral]

no

you must be patient

to learn patience is required and strong will

• sun tzu probably

[novel depot]

Ok i'll give it another shot

[glacial stag]

ye 20e webcam mic

[novel depot]

But if my legs get blown off again i'm blaming every European in the server

[soft coral]

you must give it many more shots

and some shots to the scavs too

[novel depot]

I will try my best

[wintry ridge]

Use a map, playing tarkov without one is hurting yourself for no reason

[brittle sinew]

using the ingame maps

what's funny is that you get the woods map after you complete search mission on woods lol

[novel depot]

Juicers have claimed Interchange. I must heed the warnings.

[wintry ridge]

Im so sad

juicers have taken over customs already

im hiding in a bush with my rat ass, making no noise, waiting to get enough time so I can leave and get a quest done

and a 3 man walks by checking every bush

really cool! like the coolest!!

[novel depot]

SICK

What the actual fuck is this map trying to do

No signs no info at all and there are just randomly invisible mines that two shot you next to the USEC camp? The second one was in the goddamn rock?

How do you guys like this map?

Official verdict, map blows.

[wintry ridge]

verdict is you need to use a MAP AND SOME LANDMARKS TO TELL WHER ETHE MINES ARE

its not hard, you get hit once, you walk backwards and look around for an area that isn't pockmarked wth craters or sand

[glossy fiber]

I love that you immediately returned fire 😆

It is silly that the second mine appears to have been in a rock..other than that.. this is just another odd thing that we've all come to accept

[soft coral]

thats the part right under the usec camp

theres many many mines there

id suggest playing in offline

maybe?

like

if you dont know the map at all
learn it in offline first

[rain crown]

There's one landmine area IN the map, which is next to USEC camp
Other than that, only on the edge of the map are more, but these are marked by signs

[soft coral]

there's one small area on the road tho

:D

[rain crown]

Also landmines are one of the very few things Tarkov is nice about
Because the first you step in doesnt do as much damage, if youre lucky you wont even break your leg

[rain crown]

Theres a map above, can you mark where?

[soft coral]

somewhere along this road

I've stepped on a mine

before

its a little down the road

but you get the point

dont walk along the road lol

[stark torrent]

fuck the scavs this wipe

[marble thicket]

rip bozo

w on finding the sr2

i love it

even with just p its insane for leg meta

[gilded path]

man why does everybody play 3:4

or what is this

[marble thicket]

4:3

[gilded path]

yea

but why

[marble thicket]

because 16:9 looks too vertical for me on tarkov

[gilded path]

too

vertical?

i mean

okay

[marble thicket]

yes

[gilded path]

man

poor little boy

he had a hegrid

[wintry ridge]

Someone posted a guide on why they're so cranked this wipe

They cycle through body parts alot faster is the main summary

So head is priority 3, chest 2 and arms 1

[gilded path]

and which priority is highest

3 or 1

[wintry ridge]

1

They'll target arms, but depending on which is covered they'll switch to chest

So if you got a trooper on they'll prioritize your stomach

[soft coral]

Typical

[soft coral]

Who thought it was a good idea to make keys 1 use

[wild chasm]

Mfw my modern day tier 4 armor plated Helmet gets Pen’d across the dome by 7.62x39 PS gzh from a scav with a 77 year old wooden hunting rifle from 500 meters away

[soft coral]

Love how many streamers and shit complain that this wipe is kinda shit

[stark torrent]

They are very rusty and break after 1 use , just like IRL - Nikita while on the Toilet , probably

[brittle sinew]

It's not the rifle it's the bullet

[soft coral]

probably

Iedy why are we not playin man

wtf

[gilded path]

god i fcking hate aksu

[soft coral]

lol

[soft coral]

bro I feel like it's not even worth playing with these dogshit 5 minute mathcing times

you'll go into a raid
you'll meet the 5 man and get shredded

and then 5 more minutes of waiting

where did the 2 minute matching times go

wtf is this

[novel depot]

I feel you Ivan

But i've been having a bit better luck recently and haven't run into 5 mans as much

There's some juiced up guys sprinting around as solos still tho

I just can't wait to have consistent tier 4 armored rigs. That's when I feel like I can actually play the game.

Also had to purge all my scav weapons because I kept accidentally bringing them in raida and wondering why I couldn't 1 tap scavs from range

[soft coral]

How many pmc runs you got

[novel depot]

15 maybe? LOL

I need to do more

https://youtu.be/25UsfHO5JwI

Go to the "my equal" section of Sam's video here and you will see how bad I used to be though

And why I rarely ran solo PMC

Like 4:35 roughly

[glacial stag]

[gilded path]

5 minutes?

i match for like 1 minute if not less

[soft coral]

idk where the fk ghosty is to play with him

he died

[gilded path]

i only have east europe

[novel depot]

I'd play with you guys but my ping or your ping would be like 300 lol

Even just running duo's so someone can cover your 6 makes the game so much less stressful.

[soft coral]

true

3 minutes and counting

Ye fam less than a minute matchmaking yeye frfr

killed nobody

I went past 3 fucking people

none of them shot me

I shot them tho but didn't kill em

I told you people
nobody sees you on woods

1 dude next to under sniper rock
1 dude right above me next to pier ( I was on the beach area he was on top of the rocks)
and 1 dude next to shturman tent

everyone is fucking deaf

[novel depot]

I just gotta find these landmines then i'll run it more lol

[soft coral]

I just wanted the letter

thats why I didnt go in geared and wasn't looking for fights

I did tag them tho

idk how I didnt kill the last guy next to me on the tent maybe I hit arms

eh is fine

jeager unlocked

[novel depot]

[soft coral]

ja

[glacial stag]

@white lynx :3c

tarky?

woodsky?

[soft coral]

bruh

I barely saw ghosty here

idk what happened to him

also I forgot how stressfull tarkov solo is

heart is fucking ZOOMIN

[novel depot]

I've been saying it from the start

Shit is a horror game solo

[brittle sinew]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i2Cbdb64NJg

now this is epic

[soft coral]

it literally should be a feature

[fallen cloak]

im just a little disappointed that they havent added any of the cool new mechanics theyve been teasing, like armor hitboxes and custom rigs

[soft coral]

cuz it's just that

a teaser

to get us hooked

and excited

[fallen cloak]

i mean theyre just not ready its whatever

[soft coral]

I remember people exploiting the "freelook while ADS" a while bad

why does he say that's a new feature

it was in the game before but they removed it

and now they have it bad

LMAO

[fallen cloak]

i also read in the comment thats its been a bug couple times before and was patched each time

[soft coral]

Neither is streets

[fallen cloak]

yea but theres different degrees of "not ready"

[soft coral]

sure

[fallen cloak]

i havent been on streets actually

[soft coral]

I was once in offline

[novel depot]

Just one tapped a juicer on woods. Clear the surrounding and make sure no one else is around then start looting him. 30 seconds later an AI scav from god knows where had heard the shots from over the mountain and sprinted directly to me. Instantly drills me through level 4 armor before I can even un-prone.

[topaz drum]

scav moment

[fallen cloak]

legend

[novel depot]

Fuck the scavs this wipe lol

[topaz drum]

they're even more broken this wipe than before, shooting you through bushes etc

[novel depot]

This one literally made no noise at all until he was right behjind me

It's possible he spawned on me

[soft coral]

VALIHUI SOSA!!! 1 taps you across the map

[novel depot]

Exactly what he said

EXACTLY

Such a shame

I had the Toz I needed too lol

[soft coral]

farm factory scav off the cooldown to get it

[brittle sinew]

"waaa ai is so hard this wipe"

[soft coral]

arent scavs always cracked early wipe?

or maybe its because we have shit gear

[novel depot]

This guy had no clue though. He had been trailing me for like 2 minutes before this I kept hearing him. Maybe Ivan is right about woods.

[novel depot]

The MG scav on customs shot me through 2 glass walls while I was in 2nd floor crack house. Like one tapped me while I was running past the hallways

[glacial stag]

simply a difference in skill

[soft coral]

How dare you question the almight woodskov

disgrace

[novel depot]

I'm in the middle of nowhere in that clip though. Dunno how an AI was even around.

I was tilted at that death

I think another unfortunate thing with the scavs is that when it is heavy raining they hear you just fine but you can't hear shit

I heard no footsteps until he screamed at me

[soft coral]

even better on woods

you'd be surprised how many people look only infront of them and dont well..look around

non sunny check
heavy rain check
woods check
you never get spotted

[novel depot]

Until AI scavs shit on you

LOL

[soft coral]

I meant pmcs

scavs are off the list

[novel depot]

True true

[soft coral]

They got wallhacks

[novel depot]

Earlier that raid a scav with no armor tanked like 4 LPS rounds to the chest too

Not sure if desync or what

[fallen cloak]

you prolly hit stomach

[novel depot]

Might have

[soft coral]

or arms

[brittle sinew]

it could be sunny af and you still wont get spotted if you have good movement

[soft coral]

because woods

[fallen cloak]

talkin bout woods im heading there rn

pogog

[soft coral]

to do what

[fallen cloak]

bing chilling

[soft coral]

Loot a stash or two

[fallen cloak]

i need more scav kills on there

[soft coral]

or 10

[fallen cloak]

i humbly decline 😎

[soft coral]

Fair

[glacial stag]

https://tenor.com/view/sigma-sigma-male-grindset-hustle-money-gif-22373695

[soft coral]

BRuno the fk kind of drugs you on about

[novel depot]

Nothing screams "loser" quite like a PMC camping a scav extract

With like 8 minutes left in the raid

Brainfart has rotted Bruno's brain. Yet another comrade fallen to their antics

[novel depot]

Just died to a PMC on woods literally sitting right next to snipe scav and the AI was completely un-aggrod. What the actual fuck? I killed the scav then the PMC decked me from right next to him behind a rock. lol

Playing this game is just taking constant L's

lolol

[fallen cloak]

yep

[novel depot]

Campers and god AI

But also conveniently dumb AI?

[fallen cloak]

thought i was having a great raid, killed a duo, a couple scavs, had some great loot just to overstay my welcome and get shot up by a player scav because i was taking too long

[novel depot]

Yup

I swear those mofos spawn like right on you now too

[fallen cloak]

i do love how this dude somehow magically put my armor on 0 in one blast of 7mm buck

[novel depot]

Mike what region you in? US?

[fallen cloak]

na EU

[novel depot]

Ah rip

Was gonna say we could attempt a duo later but dunno about that ping

[fallen cloak]

but i absolutely styled on that duo so im not too mad

[novel depot]

lol it's the small victories

MEanwhile i'm watching Willerz and he is late stage wipe running Lighthouse already

[fallen cloak]

just trying to keep my sanity

prolly also has clocked in just about 125h of playing time

streamers arent necessarily all that much better than you or me they just play so much

🤷 nothing to be mad about and not really a realistic comparison

the real menace is the people that no life the game like a streamer but they dont even get paid for it

[glacial stag]

@white lynx

ai kould do sam snaaiping :---DDDDDDDDDD

i already sent that tho

I'm taking so many L's on Woods I could start a charity for L's

Time for a map change

One must embrace woods

[soft coral]

Me logging in to act silly and lie

[glacial stag]

glad i found this shit and ps12b early on

[wanton loom]

What does this mean for us "casuals?"

[soft coral]

well not the wipe

I didnt word it correctly

not the wipe

[wanton loom]

And what is a Juicer?

[soft coral]

stuff such as audio and the scavs and bugs and such

[soft coral]

it means we suffer

[wanton loom]

ah shit
What about my second question?

What is a so called "Juicer"? @soft coral

[fallen cloak]

its used to refer to ppl with high end gear

being juiced up means to have the goodest gear

[glacial stag]

[fallen cloak]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-kiss-gif-25376137

[wanton loom]

Oh... that's awful

[fallen cloak]

what why

[wanton loom]

In early wipe

[fallen cloak]

ah ok

i thought you were referring to the term in general

typically juicers also play the game more than should be humanly possible

implying that they have had to be "juiced up" to be able to play the game that much

lot of depth to the term very epic lingo

[wanton loom]

What do you think about streamers, @fallen cloak?

[fallen cloak]

uuh

just in general?

[wanton loom]

In general AND specific terms like skill

and game knowledge

[fallen cloak]

i mean it depends. generally streamers strive to keep an audience and different streamers do that in different ways

landmark is an example of somehow who largely shines due to his expertise at the game, specifically mechanical skill

others may lean more towards entertainment

its whatever

i myself barely watch streamers like in general not just tarkov related, i tend to prefer youtube videos because its a more compact format

but for tarkov theres generally a lot to learn and many of them also post helpful guides and stuff like that

if thats your cup of tea theres also usually a lot to learn from analyzing really good players, eg. how they move what kind of decisions they make in a fight, beside just straight up outgunning people

some of my favs for tarkov are pestily, gigabeef, klean, airwingmarine and veritas

generally most streamers are well above average players

[wanton loom]

Alright, now...

What do you think of juicers and/or beefed up MFs

[fallen cloak]

welp

its bound to happen with a game as addicting as tarkov

i dont mind it

it would be weird if they didnt have better gear and whatnot than me despite playing all those hours

theres a couple things that allow ppl to get good gear really early that will probably get ironed out eventually

the RPG nature of the game also makes it easier for players that play more to beat others regardless of the gear

because they have higher levels in all the relevant skills

[wanton loom]

What do you think would happen to the no lifers once these "good gear early" issues get ironed out?

@fallen cloak

[fallen cloak]

well first of all the concept of "good gear early" wouldnt even exist since they dont plan to have wipes in the final game

the only knob the really have to turn rn is to make rogue raiders and scav bosses more difficult to kill

[soft coral]

theres lots of good streamers

[granite thicket]

Anybody want to help a newbie out? just got the game
