💣tarkov-released

[fallow depot]

i stepped on some land mines lol

you still get xp from offline play

[soft coral]

no

you dont

whatever you do in offline

it will not transfer over

shoot weapons , use up ammo , kill people , loot

anything

Biggest classic

[fallow depot]

i meant shoreline*

but I'll go woods now if you all say its better

[soft coral]

since when are there mines on shoreline

[fallow depot]

i was trying to get to the extraction

[soft coral]

ah I remember

[fallow depot]

it was on the middle south of the map on a water thingy and with the big wall and against that

are landmines

[soft coral]

next to the rail bridge

yep

learning shoreline wont get you far

as the first quests are either on woods/customs and maybe factory

later on you get to go shoreline for some of the most boring and tedious quests

but in the beginning no

[lyric cairn]

I've never been dumpstered this bad in Tarkov. I'm totally broke. I don't even have enough money to heal post raid

[fallow depot]

im getting like 60 fps

in woods

normal?

rtx 2070 btw

[fallow depot]

i was also thinking maybe cuz of the bots being on "high"

im going to try a scav run

[frosty basalt]

is vsync on

with a 60hz monitor

[fallow depot]

no i have 240 hertz

[frosty basalt]

try these

[fallow depot]

might just be cuz im going against many many bots but idk

wait shadows was on medium

[rain crown]

my <insert funny word> in christ you are evil

[proper eagle]

why

factory is fun

polychem zavod

[rain crown]

it is fun

but solo factory is still an experience

[proper eagle]

solo factory is fun

bring a shotgun

[rain crown]

then theres me with a 4-5man bullying whoever had the missfortune to join our lobby

[proper eagle]

last wipe i brought in a .45 vector with hydrashok for legging

[low raven]

I stopped doing my runs and spent a bit too much money on my hideout, and now I'm struggling

shit ton of decent kits but no money to support them

😭

[fallow depot]

spawned in as scav

followed the road

stepped onto 2 landmines

and while i was stepping on 2 landmines that were randonmly in the middle of the road i was getting shot at by some guy

i died in like 3 seconds idk whath appened

i survived less long than the load times to find and load into that game

[proper eagle]

how are you finding so many landmines

[fallow depot]

i think they were player placed?

maybe they were a grenade or something thrown onto me

[proper eagle]

[fallow depot]

i have no clue but i was getting shot at after it exploded so

[proper eagle]

player set landmines dont exist here

what map

[fallow depot]

woods

on some dirt road

[proper eagle]

if you go close to the edge of the map on woods you'll either face mines or invisible snipers

look for signs, they look like road signs

[fallow depot]

oh then that probably happened

i stepped on mines and a invisible sniper was taking shots?

probably

[proper eagle]

and if everything looks too open without trees you're on your way to death

[fallow depot]

xddd

im gonna play pmc

[proper eagle]

yeah

[fallow depot]

i think i just wanna bring a simple pistol for the first time right?

like idk

[proper eagle]

if you're in NA and EU you might wanna apply for an official sherpa to make it less painful

they are officially BSG endorsed

[fallow depot]

im in EU

[fallow depot]

i got no clue what ur talking about

[proper eagle]

go to your profile on the website and look for the apply sherpa link

[gleaming sentinel]

you're lying lmao

[fallow depot]

lol

whatever im just going in with pmc and pistol with 2 mags the heals and bleh

[frosty basalt]

time to start selling shit

[frosty basalt]

what happened

[marble thicket]

dm me your actual specs and game settings

[fallow depot]

im getting 60-100 now

ill restart my game so my shadows is on low instead of normal

that might change a bit

are these bots?

[lyric cairn]

Yes

[fallow depot]

i got killed by a bot i think maybe not he reacted really quick with shooting me

no clue how to check

also i have to insure my items?

[lyric cairn]

The only real way is to check the name of who killed you

If it's something Blyshmikeyiov Shylognigich, then it was a bot

[fallow depot]

lessgoo i was able to bring this out of it

my first loot boys

[fallow depot]

just generic names. got it

[real solstice]

honse

[lyric cairn]

If it was XxX_HeadEyesRat420_XxX it was a player

[real solstice]

Go into the model preview and look at it in detail

[wintry ridge]

[fallow depot]

this good to go in zone with?

[real solstice]

Stock m4 sucks ass unfortunately

[fallow depot]

so better to just use it ?

[lyric cairn]

M4 meta but stock is trash

[fallow depot]

alright taking the stock off

[real solstice]

Assload of recoil so maybe stick it in semi

There's no real reason to use it until you have some mods unlocked for it

Unless it's day one and you know nobody has more than a paca

[lyric cairn]

Yeah you can go in with it. It can teach you to get over gear fear. You are going to die and lose gear. May as well be an M4

[real solstice]

That is also true

Just be aware that your effective full auto range is really low

[lyric cairn]

Yeah, stock M4 full auto is like a cat trying to climb your brand new expensive curtains - it just goes straight up as fast as possible

[real solstice]

This game has a god awful full auto meta because recoil has been broken for a long while now

[proper eagle]

M4A1 will jump a fuck ton even on iron sights, which is especially jarring because they're closed sights

[fallow depot]

i can do another scav run so i'll do that

[proper eagle]

russian devs obviously nerf western gear

[real solstice]

Keep an eye out for Scav ADARs because you can cheaply replace the lower for a full durability semi auto rat blaster

unless they removed it this wioe

[proper eagle]

it's still there

[fallow depot]

what is a adar

[lyric cairn]

A gun

[fallow depot]

i dont know shit about this game

[proper eagle]

you can buy the lower from skier 1

[real solstice]

It looks like an M4 but with wooden furniture

[proper eagle]

russian AR-15

[real solstice]

Scavs will carry it occasionally

[fallow depot]

my scav is holding a pretty AK

wait i was gonna restart my game lol

[real solstice]

Scav loot you'll wanna look out for
30 round AK mags
7.62x39mm PS or T-45M1
7.62x54mmR LPS GZh

[lyric cairn]

Your scav is about to be holding a ton of 7.62x54R from some roided out AVT-40

[real solstice]

Pilgrim bags

(big ass blue beacon of a backpack)

[proper eagle]

gzhels

[real solstice]

Toz shotguns and 3M armor for skier

8.5mm Magnum Fuck if they have it

[fallow depot]

which one 🗣️

[lyric cairn]

MP-153 w/7mm buckshot for poverty factory kit, gents?

[proper eagle]

meme opinion but

[real solstice]

How to get good at tarkov
step 1. Uninstall

I hope arena is good

[lyric cairn]

24 hour clock. Pick whatever is daytime

i literally watched this but 🫦

Here, it will give you strength. Guide you on your journey.

I'll also say
A lot of people, myself included, are pretty jaded with the current state of the game.
Don't let the negativity ruin the game for you if you're having fun with it. The devs do seem like they're trying to step up their game, only time will tell.

[fallow depot]

do i insure?

[lyric cairn]

Nah

If you die, people are gonna take your shit for sureeee

You wanna insure stuff you think people will not take

100% chance someone will take your M4

Or you can always try to insurance fraud where you find better stuff in raid, and you hide your insured gear in a bush or some shit so you get it back from insurance

[fallow depot]

ooh,

with insurance i pay cash

but do i get cashback or is it just cash gone so items could be given back

also just waiting here

[lyric cairn]

You pay cash and you gear is returned after about 24 hours

[lyric cairn]

Get used to it, especially if you're doing a scav run. There's a bug right now that is causing scavs to take a ridiculously long time to find a match

[fallow depot]

alright ran through some narrow paths through rocks player in front of me tried to sneak up behind him. i try to shoot he just hits my head with his first shot he shoots and kills me

[lyric cairn]

T A R K O V

[fallow depot]

lesgoo

[lyric cairn]

Did you do the factory-headshots-only-training shit?

Offline mode with bots on horde mode?

[fallow depot]

I only went into offline mode with high bots looted a little understanding controls and eventually just die not finding the endzone

but i know where i am in the map pretty quickly with the map on my second screen

[lyric cairn]

You do you but I strongly recommend getting to a point where you can survive raids consistently in offline factory with bots on high, no automatic weapons

You won't survive in a live raid without being able to do that

[fallow depot]

bots high and default bot difficulty?

[lyric cairn]

Yeah

[fallow depot]

alright

[lyric cairn]

Like, just survive as long as you can and try to extract. Like, get to the point where you're running low on ammo, attempt headshots only.

Like I said, you do you; if you wanna jump into live raids, by all means. But having a lot of combat under your belt with bots can really help.

[fallow depot]

do only bots shout ?

[proper eagle]

you can make your character shout too

[lyric cairn]

Yeah, unless a player is fucking around

[proper eagle]

but voicelines are different

[fallow depot]

WHY CANT I USE BANDAGE

IM BLEEDING

[lyric cairn]

Are you using a light bandage on a heavy bleed or vice versa?

[fallow depot]

WAIT U CANT use light bandes on heavy?

[lyric cairn]

Yeah that's a heavy bleed, my man

Need a heavy bleed bandage. RIP

[fallow depot]

so im fucked

[lyric cairn]

Unless you find some heavy bleed meds

But yeah you're probably gonna die

F

[fallow depot]

alright i looted 2 chests underground found toilet paper

then went upstairs and got shot

[lyric cairn]

T A R K O V

[fallow depot]

so now i just go into bot raids

just bring pistol, mags armor and backpack with meds?

[lyric cairn]

I will do the same, my man, in solidarity.

[low raven]

go night

ruin ur eyes

[lyric cairn]

Yeah, sure. I used an SKS since its toploaded.

[low raven]

I mean, if u use the 20/35/75 rounds, u can just reload the mags

[lyric cairn]

Yeah but it's tough to do that when your tagged and cursed on Factory with bots on high, and you've been playing Tarkov for an hour and a half ever

It made sense to me at the time

[eager dawn]

is RFB any good i didnt even know that existed

the bull pup 7.62x51 gun

[fallow depot]

I felt like i was doing okay loot wise

lol

i was doing scav

so this is who i was killed by right?

and is that a bot

no wait

Vexoz killed me and i was prohor tulkit

im guessing

My cpu seems bottlenecked

wait maybe cuz im loading all these bots

idk

ugh this game XD

even against bots

i cant headshot em at medium distance

trying to position myself right so i can headshot and the bot headshots me

[earnest timber]

Tarkov is a weird MMORPG that pretends to be a realistic tactical shooter

[fallow depot]

les goooooo i got my first exit

no kills

but i brought the loot home

85K in loot

pog

the splint is for broken bones right?

if one of ur bodyparts is black u use the splint

and i played on interchange

i think much easier cuz the map is smaller so easy to know where the exits are

[random moth]

No

So the splint is used for broken bones

but blacked limbs are diffrent

Causing debufs depending on the part

you fix those with surgery kits

Which would be the red cms kit in your stash

[fallow depot]

okay

also

cpu bottleneck????! like wut

is this for real players?

[random moth]

Yes

Every player has a dogtag on em

[fallow depot]

lesgo second extraction back to back

this time as pmc

[random moth]

https://www.eft-ammo.com/

heres a helpful website

on ammos

[fallow depot]

FUCKING GUY HIDING IN THE BUSH

OMG

[random moth]

So you know what is good to grab and what to ditch

[fallow depot]

and i felt like i had such a good inventory aswell

how

fake news

im gonna download geforce experience see if its like the drivers or something

like the gpu is 20-40% and cpu is 100% when playing

[rich venture]

Oof that's rough

[fallow depot]

my inventory was packed man

but it was just a scav run so idc that much

[rich venture]

But gg wipe seems to be going well so far for you

[rich venture]

Fair

[fallow depot]

i extracted my last 2 runs before this

this map is so much easier than forest cuz i dont like the long range lol

[marble thicket]

because your cpu bound

[fallow depot]

i have a i5 9600K

[marble thicket]

yes

thats a cpu bottleneck

i pinged you earlier to dm me your specs and settings

[fallow depot]

@marble thicket

[marble thicket]

also

clown ass fps benchmark

[fallow depot]

WAT

yes

[marble thicket]

that is either done on factory or labs

they're not getting 200+ frames on 1080 on any other map no matter their cpu

im reaching 200-240 on a 4090 12900k, gotta be some magical 2070

[fallow depot]

sheesh

u got the latest

[marble thicket]

almost. I have no need to move to 13th gen. just probably going to swap to am5

[fallow depot]

latest gpu tho

[marble thicket]

yes

[fallow depot]

epic

[marble thicket]

big step up from my 3090 on 1440p and i get my parts at good deals, no reason not to move up if im planning on 4k

[fallow depot]

cool

is there a big difference that u can tell from going to a higher res

I've always been with 1080P monitors my whole life

from 70- to 100 with this nvidia scaling on

not inside the game but

this on 85%

[marble thicket]

big difference in?

[marble thicket]

you do not need NIS on a 2070 running 1080p

[fallow depot]

ur right

[fallow depot]

like visually in higher resolution above 1080P

[marble thicket]

yes. 1440p is a nice change on a 27' display. on 4k I dont need anti aliasing which is useful on eft because its best choice is taa

and taa is dogshit

[fallow depot]

if i can i always turn anti aliasing off cuz to me it looks nicer even if its a little bit pixely

[marble thicket]

depends on the game for me

with eft id rather stick with taa.

atleast they used my suggestion to change the painkiller effect

that thing was killer on streams bitrate and the over sharpening with the natural higher sharpness needed for taa because of the blurryness

[fallow depot]

lol wut

[marble thicket]

painkillers increased sharpness

now it reduces color and adds chromatic abberation

[fallow depot]

ahh

[marble thicket]

painkillers increasing sharpness is NOT good when taa makes you have a higher sharpness setting to compensate for blurryness

[white void]

KS-2M with Shrap-10 heading straight for all your legs

[white void]

allah will guide you mashallah funny SVD man

[white void]

how the fuck have i never known about this

I've been on hardcore mode since i bought the game

[white void]

https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Ballistics?so=search

smh

[white void]

First labs raid in months

its uh

noit the best loot, but i just scavenged loose loot and bodies as i had no idea where the fuck i was

[umbral oyster]

Me but on every map

[white void]

😔

[white void]

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

what the fuck

[junior inlet]

I think they removed level requirement so you can get it around 48-50 these days I think?

Still way too much time in game for my taste to do it in 2 weeks though

[white void]

I saw smth last night about levels

And imo it's a good idea

lock levels for the first few weeks of the wipe

so like week 1, you can only get to level 10

2, 20

3, 30

4, 40

and then after 4 weeks its just as normal

It'd keep the early game around alot longer

which, early wipe tarkov is best tarkov

[umbral oyster]

You know, everyone says that... Isn't there eventually supposed to be no wipes in Tarkov?

[junior inlet]

IIRC it's supposed to be 2 instances, one that doesn't wipe and one that does.

[umbral oyster]

Like the final vision for the game (pipedream at this late hour to be fair) is an open world RPG right?

[wintry ridge]

casual and ranked server

[wintry ridge]

its a very big pipedream for that

he's gonna have to cull alot of empty shell buildings and props in areas

[white void]

idk

but what i do know

is i want singleplayer Russia 2028

Nikita you fat fuck give it

Give me Russia 2028

With the amount of money they make from tarkov

They should hire another whole dev team to make Russia 2028

[umbral oyster]

Really though, I think it's a 50/50 whether Tarkov ever gets finished, and if it does, it will be years from now and probably heavily short of the original plan

[umbral oyster]

Probably yeah

[white void]

Because think about it

EFT

Tarkov Arena

and then another dev team for a singleplayer experience, RUSSIA 2028

All of EFT's good parts, the customization, all of that

put in a singleplayer RPG with actual in game traders that you walk to

it'll make them alot of fuckin money

[umbral oyster]

Really would, I would buy that game for sure

[white void]

same here

[umbral oyster]

Add mod support too, huge

[white void]

exactly

it would be THE singleplayer tarkov

and it would be fucking amazing

[wintry ridge]

2028 is actually looking like itll drop in 2028

I really really really hope that 2028 has like

a stash system

like EFT

[white void]

Fully interactive hideout.

Make it just like EFTs hideout

[wintry ridge]

find some bits and bobs in the world that restock when you "long rest" or end the night

[white void]

all different upgrades

[wintry ridge]

or you can rest 6 hours to change the time and go night time

[white void]

Imagine cultists in Russia 2028

[wintry ridge]

maybe theyll actually build up what the fuck cultists are

same

its far future but I hope the AI isnt as stopgap as eft is rn

aimbot and wallhacks to replace actual flanking and squad tactics

[white void]

Everythings quiet, only a few gunshots happened earlier in the night (With AI PMCs n shit)

you're walking in a random place to go search a warehouse or smth

[wintry ridge]

if they can make it even half as good as metro it's a good game

[white void]

and then you hear cultists whisper behind you

[umbral oyster]

Place "hideout entrance" anywhere, hideout inside. Can have multiple hideouts with their own stash. Late game upgrade to allow travel between them all

[white void]

yes

[wintry ridge]

lets not get like noiceguy levels of idea crafting

game hasnt even been started iirc

they finishing up arena before that

[white void]

we're allowed to hope lel

[umbral oyster]

Maybe like a questline or something. Perhaps even main quest focused on cult

[wintry ridge]

this isnt hope this is just theorycrafting

hope would be saying "I hope it will be better than eft"

[umbral oyster]

I'm hoping and I'm coping so hard rn

[junior inlet]

I do hope we get at least a little more about cultists at some point

[wintry ridge]

"maybe the gunplay wont be shit for a singleplayer game with no focus on PVP"

[wintry ridge]

theyre likely gonna do that in uhh

EFT

they said theyre expanding an existing map in around a year

next june likely

[white void]

true

[wintry ridge]

some guy said shoreline would be a possibilty cause they need to add terminal in

any1 else hate how much empty fields are in shoreline

top right of the map and between cottage and sunken village are literally nothing

theres no buildings no loot

[junior inlet]

Honestly pretty likely considering that walled off area still is around there

[wintry ridge]

the only pvp is taking potshots at each other and hoping hte other doesnt run away and hide in a bush or tree

[wintry ridge]

probably true

streets doubled the map size and has more going on than shoreline in terms of AI and players

[umbral oyster]

Haven't played on shoreline much, but the couple raids I've done there I did notice a lot of empty space, yeah

[wintry ridge]

could probably get that little port area playable in a year and not kill the map's playstyle

I admire bsg's dedication

even after all the hate EFT has gotten em

they still push thru and make the game how they wanna make it

[umbral oyster]

Well I'm glad they haven't abandoned it yet, doubt they'll finish it sometimes, but glad they're still trying

[wintry ridge]

yeah they said itll be done when its done

[white void]

and uh,

[wintry ridge]

still got another 2 years of development likely

im fine with that tho

confirmed players for 2 more yeara

[real solstice]

More like Pre-Alpha in 2028

[wintry ridge]

nah man i believe theyll meet this deadline even if it makes tarkov's end result kinda shit

[soft coral]

kill a scav? omg I've never gotten such a unique quest before

[proper eagle]

You sure didn't get to kick elderly scavs down the stairs before

[native crypt]

The punisher part 27 Total Scav Death

[rich venture]

Easy

[wintry ridge]

ak12 scav

sick

[wraith wagon]

does the ak12 have anything that makes it more unique than the others?

[wintry ridge]

no rearsight

on the scav on I got

dogshit

its just an rpk16 with worse recoil

[wraith wagon]

i know burst exists but doesnt seem that practical

[wintry ridge]

its not

[wraith wagon]

so its just another ak to add to the pile

[wintry ridge]

yeah

and it only uses a custom suppressor

ak12

[wraith wagon]

amazing

[wintry ridge]

the uhh

ak74m is just better

moddability and out of the box recoil is nicer

[stark torrent]

74N

[stark torrent]

no, it's worse than the 74n which was the meta and it's also 545 so

[soft coral]

74n better than M

[wraith wagon]

anyone know why propital is so cheap?

[wintry ridge]

PAIN MEDS SUCK NOW

atleast for fights

you can still use em to walk off broken legs but now premedding and overall usefulness in combat is none

since you cant see very well with em

[proper eagle]

They're only useful for walking off broken legs now

[wintry ridge]

forgot to get my loot bag 😢

had so many stash upgrade items

[wraith wagon]

is that really what drove them to be so cheap?

[wintry ridge]

yeah and the craft is cheap

[wraith wagon]

id rather have no effects but its not that bad

[proper eagle]

scavs often spawn with 1/15 ibuprofen

[wintry ridge]

it still painkills and whatnot but painmeds overall are nerfed

I hope they make it either a) less greyed out
or b) less blurry in the middle of your screen

[proper eagle]

I play with 100% vibrance on nvidia settings and it still manages to bleach everything

[wintry ridge]

same

its bad

ill screenshot what my nvgs look like when I pop em

it aint fun 😦

[proper eagle]

The crispy effect was still better

You could even see silhouettes with it

[wintry ridge]

b4 painmeds

after

[rain crown]

Yea I see the complaint now when I got killed by a Timmy with an SKS who mag dumped me into my lvl 5 body armour

[wintry ridge]

its just enough to fuck with ur eyes

[rain crown]

Can't tell if that's Tarkov or Stalker Gamma on highest brightness settings

[fallow depot]

shit i killed a scav but i was creeping in a bush and he kept looking at me and i felt threatened XD

[wintry ridge]

my brightness is 100% on my monitor and in game

its so bad...

[wintry ridge]

I did this to a uhh

moron scav who wouldnt stop following

[rain crown]

Do different pain meds have different effects?

[wintry ridge]

and saying over voip

[fallow depot]

i succesfully extracted out the woods with 3 min left cuz i had no clue where i was originally

[wintry ridge]

"wow you got a shit ton of guns and armor"

[fallow depot]

what happens if the timer runs out?

[wintry ridge]

bro was GONNA get my ass I had to

[rain crown]

When I take Ibu my screen becomes a movie from 1938

[white void]

The only time I kill player scavs are when they have good gear.

[wintry ridge]

you get dead

and i think it doesnt give insurance returns on items as PMC if you die to the timer

[wintry ridge]

I avoid even this

I still do it on accident

[wraith wagon]

can someone tell me if that mf is alive

[white void]

Then you're not a true scav

[wintry ridge]

when they run and act like a PMC

[white void]

scavs are savages

[wraith wagon]

ive shot him a ton but i cant tell if its mad drop off

[rain crown]

It's like you die
And you will live with the shame of having a MIA (missing in action) death in your stats

[wintry ridge]

ill do it when bsg doesnt penalize you with 10 scav raids of rep loss for 1 kill

[white void]

Eh

[rain crown]

Shoot him and you'll know

[white void]

I've killed quite a few scavs this wipe and I'm still sitting on like 1.00 rep

[wintry ridge]

fence dailies are free

[rain crown]

Do vehic extracts, they give a lot

[wraith wagon]

i am and he is just chilling

[wintry ridge]

i forget to bring cash

[wraith wagon]

he looks pretty dead to me

[wintry ridge]

no hell uhh

flop over and the gun will point up

looks like it to me

[white void]

give him another round

[wintry ridge]

do you have meds

get in cover and heal

theyll get on it if theyre still alive

then u can pop em in the head

[wraith wagon]

this mf ate it

im pretty sure hes dead since if not i would be

[proper eagle]

Mfw AK's all the time

Same

How the fuck do the rogues shoot that shit themselves

[wraith wagon]

why do i always feel like i dont get the money from selling all when i scav

[wintry ridge]

the rogue beaming 40 rounds of m855 from a 30 round mag into your chest at 140m away

you pickup the gun and its only got a shitty reflex that cant see shit past 40m

[wraith wagon]

alright ill use one for medstation 3

i was on 3.8m 5 minutes ago💀

[umbral oyster]

Christ I fucking hate the 5:30 to 7:00 timeframe in this game, can't see fucking shit, the ground is fucking pitch black and the sky is burning out my fucking retinas

Yeah i just scav during those times or go cqb maps like reserve, customs idk

Anything with big scopes will be useless at those times

[umbral oyster]

Lmao my eyes are already useless at those times

[soft coral]

mans nerfed himself

[wintry ridge]

BAHAHAHA

1.4mil

[stark torrent]

jesu sthat must have been painful to get to extract

[stark torrent]

u should keep one for the quest

[wintry ridge]

thats my 4th and 5th

already got the quest

and turned one into carbats for the therapist one

put those 2 on flea

[stark torrent]

pog

[wintry ridge]

im just kinda idling on my pmc rn

I gotta do uhh

rigged game

[white void]

guys

[wintry ridge]

and im waiting for my duo buddy to get on

[white void]

what should my next gun build be

[wintry ridge]

g36

[white void]

I dont wanna use UMPs anymore

i want big gun

[white void]

[wintry ridge]

pk2 can do aug or ump

or g36

thats about it

you could do mp5sd

[white void]

I could also do a sexy AK-104 via flea market parts

[chilly hollow]

fence exits give 0,4 rep per first car extract, after that its 0,2 then 0,1 and so on

[chilly hollow]

might as well buy ak12, not much modding to be done there, has very good ergo and you can get it below 60 recoil with lvl2 parts

maybe even below 50 if you invest in some parts

[white void]

damn

[stark torrent]

https://tenor.com/view/thanos-avengers-infinity-war-im-sorry-little-one-gif-12454554

[white void]

THATS WHAT I SHOULD DO

Sniper build

Thank you, Iedy, for that screenshot of you fucking doming a guy

I will proceed to build an SVD

[chilly hollow]

this mf about to spent a fortune to get better recoil then svt

[white void]

Its not about the stats, black man

The SVD looks based

So, I will build an SVD

[chilly hollow]

its always about the stats, Australian man

[white void]

Not always, black man

[chilly hollow]

play loud svd on woods, go sawmill and shoot a bit.
watch players pour in trying to kill sthurman

ez

[white void]

thats actually not too bad of an idea

I'd just have to make sure I'm all camoed up in a good position

[chilly hollow]

i did that couple of times, always fun

[white void]

https://tenor.com/view/rainbow-six-snow-gif-12061509

Snowy version of maps surely

[chilly hollow]

there is very few locations around sawmil that are very few spots that are good to snipe, most of the spots ppl know and will check

some other spots you just outline like crazy and ppl will spot you even with a mosin with iron sights

[white void]

So I must go in with the full camo outfit, including the ghillie hat

[chilly hollow]

thats not gonna help much, unless you sit in a bush or a tree

[white void]

Lmfao

[umbral oyster]

Russia 2028 Siberia expansion when?

[white void]

real

[fallow depot]

I FOUND MY FRINED IUN A SCAV RUN

and he'll teach me everything

[proper eagle]

are you sure

[soft coral]

interesting

@stark torrent real talk how is this wipe so far

[white void]

I'm not a gigantic bird but i must say

this wipe is actually pretty decent imo

[soft coral]

I only trust in iedy

[white void]

Fair enough

[stark torrent]

ughh well , tbf , it's more or less the same shit

i would say very few noticeable improvements, audio is still trash , desync still happens

Streets is unplayable or very hard to connect on it idk why

Some guns are worth using now cause they changed the ammo / crafts a bit

[white void]

Desync will never leave us

[soft coral]

if audio is still trash I ain't gonna play

no way in hell

I only updated the game and that's it , closing the launcher

see ya in 5 years after they decided to fix the audio for one map only

[rain crown]

Or seasons in general
Timed like irl

[white void]

true

[rain crown]

Winter - snow
Spring - snow goes away
Summer - green
Fall - more brownish and sun goes down sooner

Wouldn't be easy to implement but pretty cool to have

[white void]

indeed

[rain crown]

Imagine winter woods

[soft coral]

they cant implement audio or lighting let alone seasons

[rain crown]

Lighting is the reason interchange gives me paranoia

Environmental Lights just popping up randomly

[soft coral]

shoreline/lighthouse/woods all suffer from the same problem

the one we call "void"

everything becoming black about 100 meters infront of you

including players

legit 0 color to anything

[junior inlet]

Even after "fixing" fog you get fog in a goddamn bunker

[soft coral]

perfect example

PERFECT EXAMPLE

more examples of the ground being completely black

this is the same on lighthouse or shoreline

Sorry can't have visability of beyond 100 meters it's engine limitations

[fallow depot]

bruh

[white void]

"Engine limitations" Nikita Buyanov says.

Modders doing exactly that with the same engine

[soft coral]

happens all the time

to say that the game and it's audio and lighting is dogshit is an understatement

on a shooter that relies so heavily on both

[rich venture]

Once arena is done they'll probably start working on core issues

[soft coral]

LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Biggest joke I've heard

[chilly hollow]

lmao

yeah sure, once a completly different game is finished, they will fix tarkov

[soft coral]

surely right

[chilly hollow]

Guys they fixxed tarkov, this time for real!
BSG cocksuckers, every update

[soft coral]

it's okay guys it's only engine limitations , they are also constnatly banning cheaters , we are constantly improving the game

[fallow depot]

no

[soft coral]

once you realize the game is a shithole

you're a free man

[proper eagle]

https://tenor.com/view/aizen-gif-21242285

[soft coral]

cope or not

its fax

sadly

as much as I love tarkov

[proper eagle]

[uncut coral]

fuck arena tbh

also isn't that gun op as shit

[junior inlet]

Don't worry gigabeef said it wasn't so it must not be.

Ignore its high usage rate

[chilly hollow]

ignore the 2 tap

[stark torrent]

the automatic one is definetely a very situational gun

[chilly hollow]

the 2 tap is a psyop

[stark torrent]

but the SVT is bullshit tier

[rain crown]

https://tenor.com/view/aizen-plan-coping-kid-the-kid-is-coping-gif-26280717

[rain crown]

Semi auto mosin with magazine

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[chilly hollow]

i will continue to abuse the svt untill they nerf it

[white void]

as you should

[junior inlet]

I still find it infinitely hilarious gigabeef tried to claim it wasn't at least a little broken

[chilly hollow]

i mean he said this wipe will be wipe of 5.56, he is just trying very hard to not be wrong

literally no self respecting mf will use 5.56 if not for stupid untar quest

[junior inlet]

Yeah....56a1 being not tied to a quest wont bring it up to the level of what was meta last patch ngl

[chilly hollow]

5.56 literally most unreliable caliber

[white void]

7.62x39 gang for life

And 5.45x39 ofc

and

7.62x54r

ofc

[chilly hollow]

bro it happens so often to me that scavs or players tank 5.56 face shots

[junior inlet]

I want to like x51. but damn if they made it a non-competitor

[chilly hollow]

doesn't happen with bigger calibers

[chilly hollow]

its ass, you need basically peacekeeper 4 so be lvl 38 or something to actually play m80

[junior inlet]

By the time I get access to halfway decent ammo for it I have 0 desire to use it over others

[junior inlet]

And typically by that time you also get the round above it

[chilly hollow]

why use m80 if you can buy Mosin PS rounds at prapor 3

[chilly hollow]

true

[junior inlet]

m80 should be LL3 max.

Period.

[chilly hollow]

like it was last wipe

iirc

[junior inlet]

I am fully willing to buy that this balancing is so people use WP shit more

[chilly hollow]

Classic russian bias

russian devs never change

[fallen cloak]

thats a very biased way to view the history of the games balance

545 AKs have consitently been by far the weakest assault rifles in the game

556 was the best thing you could run for a very long time

how tf is taht russian bias

[proper eagle]

whats the difference when everyone is getting max traders 2 weeks in

[chilly hollow]

we talkin right now, not 50 wipes ago

[junior inlet]

I'm not claiming russian bias

[fallen cloak]

so its russian bias because for once the NATO stuff isnt the best you can run

wild

[junior inlet]

I'm willing to bet changing these stats is to bring the usage of said rounds down. Although some cases are too far. M80 being the sole case

[fallen cloak]

i would assume that the availability of good 762x54 ammo will probably change with the avt now being a thing

[proper eagle]

and it did, slightly

[junior inlet]

I am all for not having just 5.56 guns

But m80 makes no sense to me

[fallen cloak]

yea its in a weird spot rn

theyll have to figure something out

[junior inlet]

I would even accept LL3 behind a quest for it. Anything but LL4

[proper eagle]

the MCX is a joke rn, even worse than the M4A1

[fallen cloak]

always has been

[chilly hollow]

always was

[junior inlet]

I don't think the tarkov devs have a keen grasp on where they want 300 blackout

[proper eagle]

it's not a bad calibre tho

the gun recoil is just troll

[fallen cloak]

i mean it took a while before bsg changed the availabilty of m80 despite rfbs dominating early wipe so id assume theyd take about the same time again

but i do agree that m80 on ll4 makes no sense

[proper eagle]

FMJ is close to M80 and cheap

[uncut coral]

https://tenor.com/view/vaas-farcry3-farcry3villain-insanity-insanity-vaas-gif-26048552

bsg should take some notes from this guy

[fallen cloak]

it would only make sense of they removed anything better than m80 from the traders

[fallen cloak]

except 5 pen is the difference between 2 and 3 shots to kill

[proper eagle]

compensated by availability

terrible round for scavs to have

[fallen cloak]

true

idk the whole ammo thing makes balancing so much harder
in other games bolties will just deal more damage but because the damage is based on the round you cant just be like "oh semi auto deal less damage because its semi auto so thing is balanced now"

and then one gun being too good can justify nerfs for an entire caliber

[proper eagle]

if bsg did apply realism a lot of calibres would be OP

[fallen cloak]

they dont plan to apply realism afaik

[junior inlet]

Good

[proper eagle]

what they should do is take their balancing bullshit to arena and change up the calibres in eft

[fallen cloak]

idk abt that

[uncut coral]

game has never been balanced

[fallen cloak]

i mean obviously

[uncut coral]

rng reliant mechanics

[fallen cloak]

i dont think being entirely balanced is even desirable for the game

[uncut coral]

deff no, i'd say it was the most fun when everyone was bhopping with op guns

[chilly hollow]

nah that was ass

worst meta ever

[uncut coral]

yes, it was not perfect, but it's the same shit

except now everyone is moving on ice skates with noodles for arms

[fallen cloak]

guns being laserbeams was only a part of that problem tho

ergo literally did nothing

pmcs were throwing around 10kg rifles like theyre paper

[proper eagle]

ergo dont mean shit when you can just time your shift release and ads

[uncut coral]

or when u don't ads 90% of the time

[fallen cloak]

i feel theres a noticable difference between low and high ergo now

[chilly hollow]

is the bug still in where you can build only on recoil, then throw on a canted red dot to have ads speed of 100 ergo build

why am i even asking its been in since 3 years

[junior inlet]

ADS? what's that? I just hipfire laser everything

[fallen cloak]

not sure but im pretty sure canted red dots also just have more camera recoil

[proper eagle]

they do

[chilly hollow]

possible

[proper eagle]

it's like mounting the sight on the handguard

[fallen cloak]

klean always argues that the difference between modded guns and unmodded guns shouldnt be as drastic as it is rn

[chilly hollow]

well then ppl would just run arround with stock ak's and bp ammo

[fallen cloak]

yep

and stock m4s

[chilly hollow]

also not good solution

[fallen cloak]

how so

[chilly hollow]

i get where he is coming from

but that doesn't work in a game

[uncut coral]

the difference between different weapon mods, maybe

[chilly hollow]

especially when its about getting a small advantage over other players

[fallen cloak]

i mean it works in other games

most shooters actually

[chilly hollow]

biggest thing about tarkov, the gun modding would not be used then

[fallen cloak]

i dont think so

[chilly hollow]

if stock guns are laserbeams

[fallen cloak]

you can adjust the economy around it

[chilly hollow]

why spend money

[fallen cloak]

i never said laserbeams

nor did klean

[uncut coral]

there's like 20+ different m4 buttstocks, but people use only 1 or 2

since they're bis and also the cheapest

[fallen cloak]

yea

[uncut coral]

making most other attachments obsolete

[fallen cloak]

nikita has also mentioned multiple times that they will at some point have to go through every mod in the game and balance them properly

idk if thats still something they plan to do

[uncut coral]

https://tenor.com/view/movie-one-eternity-later-gif-7900643

[chilly hollow]

nikita says a lot of stuff

[fallen cloak]

dont think ive heard him mention it recently possibly because theres more important stuff to focus on

but i mean

[proper eagle]

such as the fps and netcode

[fallen cloak]

if they difference wasnt so big it also wouldnt matter as much if youre using bis or not

meaning

[chilly hollow]

they do have more important things to do for sure

[fallen cloak]

you could use the mods that you find look cool

[chilly hollow]

i already do that, i don't give a fuck about best in slot attachments, if the guns looks ass i ain't using it

[white void]

[fallen cloak]

yea

[proper eagle]

i wonder if an x mod would actually provide like 10% reduction in recoil or something

[chilly hollow]

when ppl kill me i want them to say: yo what a cool gun this guy had

[fallen cloak]

ofc there still needs to be a noticable difference between unmodded and modded

but wouldnt you agree that rn the difference is like a massive chasm

[chilly hollow]

it is

never said it isn't

[fallen cloak]

i dont think stock guns actually functioning would be bad for the game

[white void]

I have yet another idea for a gun build

[fallen cloak]

to begin with

[white void]

I should make the guns from the Tarkov raid series

[fallen cloak]

were supposed to be in a desolate warzone whatever with very limited access to high tech gear

so how tf are we putting all these mods on our guns

but yea idk if thats something they plan to change at all maybe theyll adress it to some degree with the recoil rework

[chilly hollow]

mechanic gotta earn a living somehow, the AI girlfriend doesn't build itself

yes this is lore accurate mechanic is building an AI girlfriend

[fallen cloak]

legend

[proper eagle]

handguard mounted sights

i wish they worked

[chilly hollow]

horrible

[fallen cloak]

other ppl have argued that they should just change the way the % recoil reduction you get is calculated

becasue rn its additive

[white void]

gonna make the main BEAR's AK

[fallen cloak]

me too buddy

[proper eagle]

who's the main bear now

skif?

[fallow depot]

am i just bad or

[white void]

uhh Demon I believe

lemme check

[chilly hollow]

yeah

[fallen cloak]

shots 1-15 clearly missed

[chilly hollow]

skill issue

[fallow depot]

man i just get shot so fast

[chilly hollow]

shots 15-20 didn't even fire bc you already dead

[fallen cloak]

you both stood absolutely still

you basically removed every variable except aim

[chilly hollow]

no cover, no nothing

he just had better aim

[white void]

@proper eagle Da, is skif

[chilly hollow]

or more luck

[white void]

Demon gets fucked up hard early on

[proper eagle]

the bears were tough mfs just that there were a lot more usecs

[fallen cloak]

bro got cooked

[white void]

Gotta give it to the small squad of BEARs, they held their own

[chilly hollow]

they got that bear plot armour

[fallen cloak]

tbf i almost never win straight up duels in eft

its either flanks or catching someone off guard

[white void]

real

aight boys lemme cook

[proper eagle]

the guy in ep 1 ate an RPG

[white void]

Gonna become the USEC version of Skif

[fallow depot]

if ur eft you just kill everyone right?

[fallen cloak]

waht

[proper eagle]

yes

kill em all

[white void]

I hope I have enough cash to become Skif

[soft coral]

you aim to his left

his shoulder

not his head

[fallow depot]

[proper eagle]

you need bear t-shirt and gorka bottom for that

usec

[junior inlet]

Man freeze framed the skill issue.

[soft coral]

plus should crouch

[proper eagle]

for SKS removing the rear sight helps you see better

[fallow depot]

how do i refund this game

[soft coral]

ah yes

[proper eagle]

[soft coral]

el classico

[proper eagle]

welcome to tarkov

[white void]

Usec version of Skif smh

[fallen cloak]

there is no refund

[proper eagle]

you're one of us now that you said it

[fallow depot]

so ur saying remove the rear sight on the stock sks so only the front little part is ther?e?

[proper eagle]

yes

[soft coral]

yes.

[fallen cloak]

its ok most of everyone starts out absolutely abyssmal

[soft coral]

helps you see a bit more

[fallow depot]

and the bullet always goes right on where the top of the front little part is right

[soft coral]

personally I'm a mosin man myself

[soft coral]

pretty much

[fallow depot]

alright thanks for the tip. probably if i did that i woulda won that fight 🫦

[proper eagle]

the fact that you tried to shoot is a lot better than 80% of the population

[proper eagle]

if you're gonna panic fire aim for centre of mass

[fallow depot]

i really tried to line it up to at least hit him twice

i didnt think hed pe able to go pew pew pew hit all his shots

[soft coral]

as a wise redditor once said

shots 1/5 clearly missed

6/10 is bad recoil control

[fallow depot]

he really went fast pew pew tho

the second shot didnt connect maybe or it did but idk but basically he hit me so i couldnt see shit

[proper eagle]

he just aimed for your thorax and sprayed

[fallow depot]

its all his fault

[fallen cloak]

yea he proly didnt wait for the gun to go back to center and just pulled down while spamming left click

[fallow depot]

if i hit the first shot maybe he wouldnt have been able to recover to aim on me

but idk if i hit the shots

i shouldve checked

[soft coral]

Just hit your shots

its that easy

[fallen cloak]

no way

[junior inlet]

Revolutionary game plan here

[soft coral]

it just works

[uncut coral]

50/50 fight

nt

[fallow depot]

is there any difference except for magazine size?

[rain crown]

The other is about 1k cheaper

Just don't bother with the 10 round one

And the 1000 ruble you save doesn't matter at all

[fallen cloak]

i rly just eviscerated 2 pmcs with nothing but a saiga and 10 rounds of ftx

[fallen cloak]

n0

[fallen cloak]

they had negative aim

[white void]

@proper eagle Skif USEC'ified

[proper eagle]

nope

[white void]

Yes

Except

its

just the gun

Too lazy to get everything else

[proper eagle]

it looks like a bear's AK if anything

[fallow depot]

DO SCAVS RUN?

[white void]

Because it is, it's Skif

lmfao

[proper eagle]

you cant be skif if youre not a bear

[white void]

it's his exact AK, just not in the same color as the parts don't exist in the same color as his

[proper eagle]

i thought you were talking about mike

[white void]

nuh uh

[white void]

nuh uh

[proper eagle]

😘

yuh uh

[white void]

Nuh uh

[proper eagle]

yuh uh

[fallow depot]

w

i have died

if they were real people it would show the level right or not for scav real people?

[junior inlet]

It shows username if you extract with dogtag. But it'll also say bear/usec even if you don't

[fallow depot]

okay, but you cant tell if scavs were real peolpe or not unless u get dog tag then from them?

[white void]

I will now go into a factory raid with this kit because I'm a dipshit

[soft coral]

that's a drippy ass ak

[fallow depot]

like i feel like theyre real people with how they run about but i have no clue

[soft coral]

with enough experience you just eventually know by looking at them

[white void]

I tried my best to replicate it

[soft coral]

its hard to explain but you just know

[white void]

thats fucking disgusting

[soft coral]

also they look like hobos

[proper eagle]

😘

[junior inlet]

It comes down to experience. You'll know eventually. First one was AI second one wasn't

[proper eagle]

i need to watch the raid series again to remember

[fallow depot]

can bots sprint run?

[junior inlet]

Yes, Often.

[fallow depot]

ah okay

bots dont loot tho right

[rain crown]

yes?

[soft coral]

mhm

[fallow depot]

bots dont stand still to loot stuff randomly

[soft coral]

yes

[rain crown]

they can loot bodies

[white void]

It would be a mistake to take this kit into factory wouldn't it

[fallow depot]

damn okay

[soft coral]

bots DO stand to loot stuff

[junior inlet]

But the reaction on the second dude pretty much confirmed it was a dude caught with their pants down

[fallow depot]

i guess i killed all bots then and got killed by a grenade from a real player

[soft coral]

they will pick up guns from bodies

[proper eagle]

they posted some BEAR pics on the news channel

[soft coral]

ew

[fallow depot]

okay, do real players also moan when they get shot and low health like bots?

[proper eagle]

#521645013277474826 message

[rain crown]

moan not, but they will sound like having asthma, heart attack and epilepsy at once if theyre on low hp or have theyre stomach/chest blacked

[junior inlet]

Also depends on where they've been shot

[soft coral]

ye

[rain crown]

stomache and chest makes sounds, head aswell?

[fallow depot]

okay okay

[rain crown]

i never have my head blacked for obvious reasons

[junior inlet]

yeah, the head does indeed as well if it gets blacked without you dying

[white void]

Fuck it, I'm going into factory with this

Let's see how fast i die

[soft coral]

with what

factory..

beware the mosin man

[white void]

The sexy AK

full kit

[soft coral]

if you meet mosin man

may allah help you

[white void]

15 second death speed run any %

[rain crown]

ive actually had a 19 seconds run

woods

spawned, ran, headshotted by sniper

[white void]

GG ez

new world record

beat that

[rain crown]

tf did you do to die that fast
