💣tarkov-released

[pearl quartz]

or flea if you have money

[foggy jay]

Way too expensive

like, just use 5.56 SOST or M855

[earnest timber]

huh?

[pearl quartz]

PS doesn't seem that bad to me?

[foggy jay]

You should just rather use 9x19 Pst and aim for the head

[lucid junco]

sheesh.. mutant armband, that shit is rare fr fr

[white void]

I've been fine with PS

[foggy jay]

PS is like, you can't pen T3 armors, so why adding the burden of more recoil if your only solution is to headshot

well sometimes pen T3, now with the new armor system we know jack about what this means x)

[pearl quartz]

90% chance to pen on first bullet wdym?

[foggy jay]

With the old system

[frozen olive]

Just use SP on x39's

[pearl quartz]

ah

[frozen olive]

and PP from Flea in 5x39

PP isn't too marked up

[foggy jay]

but basically anything that can't pen T4 somehow reliably = just aim for the head

because 90% of the players have atleast T4 plates

[frozen olive]

Oh right I remember why I didn't run PP constantly

Punsiher Part 3

[pearl quartz]

so basically run PP at min or something different entirely?

[frozen olive]

If you're a semi-auto god

[foggy jay]

PP is like 750ru pour round

[foggy jay]

1500 roubles per round

[frozen olive]

You can't even buy it on flea

So you can only barter for it lmao

[foggy jay]

1500 roubles per round is like: have 60 rounds on you, die to somebody random because of a headshot, 90 000 roubles lost

[frozen olive]

Yeah that's why I said semi-auto god

You basically put 1 mag of 20 in you gun

and that's it

[foggy jay]

I would rather spend 90k roubles in a better sniper scope to land headshots at 60m than buying this kind of rounds

[frozen olive]

Actually my mistake

Why run AK's

just run a VPO with AP-M

[foggy jay]

also because it's a barter, so you have to snipe the barter at trader restock

[frozen olive]

2 tap anyone

[foggy jay]

just run RFB with M80

[earnest timber]

global trader limits are cringe because the flea market exists

[frozen olive]

https://tarkov.dev/ammo/7.62x39 mm

T-45M1 seems nice

[foggy jay]

what's the matter of having AP-M when you have have 35 Ergo and insane recoil

[pearl quartz]

I can't yet

[frozen olive]

I've not felt massive recoil with it

but it 1 taps nakeds and 2 taps plates

at least at cqc distance

[stark torrent]

which is why they banned the good stuff from flea so you are stuck in the restock loophole hell

[foggy jay]

yeah it's really good indeed

[lucid junco]

i just us the sag with PP or whatever high pen ammo i got around

nice for head taps

[frozen olive]

the sag is uh a bit horribly expensive XD

[pearl quartz]

so now what do I do with all this ps I got

[frozen olive]

unless you can snag them at Flea for cheap

[frozen olive]

mag dump

[lucid junco]

42k

[frozen olive]

with cheap ammo I don't place my shots

[lucid junco]

not that bad

[frozen olive]

I juts fucking unload

[frozen olive]

Skier iirc is 75k and 90k for the sags

which is uh a very ??? for me since they're semi auto AK's with nothing super fancy

also AK-104's and 103's were going for 20k-30k if you want a larger mag dumper

[stark torrent]

fun fact , use the short one, it has almos the same recoil stat as the long one , but much better ergo

and that muzzle is actually ok for loud builds

[lucid junco]

good ergo, nice if you can head tap

[stark torrent]

From the guns i used :

Budget - AUG fucks , that shit has such good recoil it's ridiculous , from a shit gun to one of the best .

545- AK12 and RPK both served me pretty well , ak12 supressor is stupid expensive and prapor 4 tho.

Luxury - 7.62 Mdr is so back.

And ofc most SMGs are dead on but if you aim on their plates you wont kill jack shit

[pearl quartz]

all I can run

sorted from LL2

from just traders excluding flea

[lucid junco]

if you stick to the normal muzzle the gun comes with you can slap on a M-LOK AFG grip for like 9k
barter for the GL-SHOCK stock for 10-12k and you now have a 90+ ergo DMR, not counting Sights for about 65k

or idk any gun with M80 once you hit PK 3

[foggy jay]

as I told you, early on, just go MP5 or PP19 with Pst gzh from prapor and aim for the head

[stark torrent]

RFB would be the best budget DMR that can actually hit decently

[pearl quartz]

rip lame

[foggy jay]

or 5.45 PS indeed

[pearl quartz]

[stark torrent]

OR you get the SVT instead

[lucid junco]

AVT

[foggy jay]

yeah RFB is good with M80

[stark torrent]

Grok removed SVT from GAMMA for a reason

[foggy jay]

I prefer the AUG A1 though

or P90

[stark torrent]

i cant handle the p90 mags

too much pain in the ass with them

[uncut coral]

just take like 6 extra

[foggy jay]

The P90 is really the best thing you can run once you hit Peacekeeper LL3

[stark torrent]

Id rather run the aug

with 42 rounders

i like the aug as well

[pearl quartz]

I am just gonna run PS, just need to remember to aim at heads, not used to always aiming heads, skill issue

[foggy jay]

Yeah even the AUG A1 scope isn't bad

just need some practice

[stark torrent]

aug with valday scope and whatever supressor is lovely tbf

[foggy jay]

it's the best 5.56 gun anyway

then you have uber modded M4 at 300k

But I don't know, the sheer feeling of power of magdumping 9x19 with MP9 is something hard to pass on

until you find a T5 armor dude

[pearl quartz]

what does scav war option do in offline?

[frozen olive]

is Quake/CCI or RIP accesible for 9x19

[lucid junco]

if you leg then yes

[foggy jay]

Imo PP19 or MP5 with 9x19 Pst teaches you to burst heads while ADSing which is ultimately how you should play

because even with 5.56 you'll burst torso to headwith the usual "up recoil" guns have

[white void]

new Ui bug goes crazy

[foggy jay]

Going for big rounds to hit torso only and praying for not having a guy with T5 plates is how to loose 101. Spraying heads is how to win 101

But chads (and cheaters) always have the drop on the enemy and headshot without missing their shots

[white void]

Grok what are the odds i get my shit rocked by xingping on labs

[frozen olive]

10/10

Not for the gear, just for extisting in his same Lobby

How dare you interrupt his RMT-ing

[white void]

oh yeah

[frozen olive]

STOP PLAYING THE GAME

[white void]

This is just my normal kit, only thing im changing is the AK

[frozen olive]

I PAID 140 A MONTH FOR CHEATS

[white void]

real

[frozen olive]

https://tenor.com/view/stop-having-fun-quit-it-be-serious-real-talk-stop-laughing-gif-15087806

[white void]

140 yen

Cant remember where any shit is in labs apart from the exits

and thats all i need mf

Come at me xingping

IM HIM

COME AT ME

[autumn estuary]

How's the kneecapping meta these days? Is the hollowpoints to the knees still the safe bet if you're only allowed garbage?

[white void]

xingping found me, waiting outside my room i was in for 10 minutes even though i didnt make a sound

he has good ears i suppose

[uncut coral]

bout 80% give or take

[white void]

he found me

I heard him earlier in the raid too

but i thought i was schizo

but no no

when i went back out he was in the exact spot where the sound cue was

in the middle of the fucking hallway crouched down

[frozen olive]

So like, not even corner peeking, just in the middle

lmao

report

labs cheaters tend to eat shit the fastest

[white void]

yes

funny thing is

he is an EOD account lvl 50

looks legit

funny thing is tho, i didnt make a sound

yet i heard him in the spot beforehand

[frozen olive]

yeah Ik how that shit is 😔

[white void]

and i go out and he's sitting there

[frozen olive]

Have you been smacked by prone peeps lately?

[white void]

nope

[frozen olive]

i found people proning in corners to be like, next level lethal

[white void]

because i haven't played the game lately

[frozen olive]

I've murked duos in streets by doing that around cars at night

lol

[frozen olive]

Keep it that way

[white void]

i like the pvp

just havent really played much bc ive had other games

might try streets

WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS LOADOUT MY GUY

he was healing in office from fighting a scav

i shot him with piranha and he fucking dropped

[frozen olive]

Bro the uh

Drum mag

the AVS is nice but

the drumg mag???

Just carry 2 35 rounders and a nice modding

[white void]

idk what blud was doin

[frozen olive]

tbh

SKS can git the black body kit so cheap

so Idk the point on running wood furniy

speakin of woof funiture

I wish we had a "not fucked up by time" version or "no scratches/factory" new component XD

[white void]

That shit gonna be in a collector's stash my guy

[earnest timber]

Is this enough facial protection?

[white void]

I am going to kill myself

FUCKING XIAO XUNG IN FACTORY

SHOT ME THROUGH A WALL

I AM GOING TO KILL MYSELF

FUCK THIS GAME IM PLAYING ARENA

[frozen olive]

Bruh, even tainting scavs

[white void]

FUCK XIAOKUN, FUCK HIS COUSINS LINGWIN, DINGZAO, MAOZIN AND LAOBING

[uncut coral]

*thorax, left armpit

[white void]

I swear to god i will send F-4E Phantom IIs to Xiaokun and his cousin's place of residence and napalm them

cut off their internet too alhamdulillah

right me and the boys are in the air on the way to xiaokun's residence

[foggy jay]

too bad you got 9x19 GTed in the neck by BilboMcHeadshot, lv 12

[earnest timber]

They really need to rework Sew it Good 3

where the fuck do i get another Zabralo?

[foggy jay]

why the shovel that's extra weight. Why the helmet, save that money for actual helmets later (aka with T4 face shield minimum)

[earnest timber]

it is so bad that cheaters offer carry service just to get that armor

[frozen olive]

meta gear from Gigabeef

[foggy jay]

Why do you need that quest anyways

[frozen olive]

[earnest timber]

Lightkeeper questline

[white void]

uhhhhh my honest reaction to that is just wharb

[frozen olive]

Also I want to say he's actually relatively normal for a EFT youtuber

lvl 34

[foggy jay]

the time he would take to actually aim, my MP9 would have already shot 12 rounds to his head

[frozen olive]

I personally think streamers have like juiced servers or something

they don't get cheated on so much

[foggy jay]

his gear is good for snoreline bush camping

[frozen olive]

yeah he's doing snoreline night time for PK

[compact knoll]

[frozen olive]

https://youtu.be/EP8jlNyLqkg

[foggy jay]

but even so, on snoreline, I would just take anything with 930m/s speed

[compact knoll]

[earnest timber]

Nuke china

[foggy jay]

sniping with 630m/s and high recoil is just meh

[white void]

I agree

[compact knoll]

mashallah

[white void]

fuck xiaokung

[compact knoll]

get them their own tarkov

with blackjack and mao ze dong

[frozen olive]

AP-M is buffed this wipe imo

I guess that's why he's running it

[earnest timber]

"B-b-but muh chinese marketshare"

[compact knoll]

[frozen olive]

but yeah I'm kinda glad to see he's not another uhh

lvl 52 in 3 days guy

[foggy jay]

yeah it one shots thorax

[compact knoll]

it did before

it just

[foggy jay]

and most people don't run T5 so you are good by saying that you one tap 80% of the lobbies

[compact knoll]

if its lvl 3 armour or higher

it wont oneshot

[white void]

[foggy jay]

1 bullet to 0 the plate

[frozen olive]

holy shit lmao

[foggy jay]

another to one shot thorax ?

[frozen olive]

his Lighthouse spawn

[gray compass]

sussy or not? silent shotted me on streets

[foggy jay]

31d, lv 38 his level is too low

[frozen olive]

Lighthouse has dogshit spawns

he spanws

and kills someone with 10s

[compact knoll]

man ground zero is a shit hole

its just funny

[frozen olive]

all he did was move to the rock

[foggy jay]

what's the max level on it?

[frozen olive]

Factory (Long)

20

[foggy jay]

ah too bad

[compact knoll]

yeah it should be like lvl 10 max

[foggy jay]

most maps have shit spawns anyway

[frozen olive]

Lmao there was 3 guys, not 1

[foggy jay]

like, Shoreline East village spawn ? You have one solution: cottage. Otherwise you always get it in the butt

[frozen olive]

Yeah 90% we need to rework every single one and reduce PMC amounts by 4 on each map

[compact knoll]

there is always one more

[frozen olive]

Shoreline Village spawn is so good

if people rush resort

[foggy jay]

it sucks balls

[frozen olive]

you can gobble village, swamp and then peace out

with 600k

[compact knoll]

i want a bit more suppression in this god damn game

[frozen olive]

Village and Swamp are insane with loot this wipe Grok XD

[foggy jay]

best spawn is next to weather station or north east of the swamp

[frozen olive]

Scav Camp is also godlike if you get eastern

for "looting" raids mind you

[foggy jay]

Sorry but I prefer to rush the new compound

village and swamp loot, good ?

Just learn Streets

streets is like, folder with intelligence factory

you have sooooo many drawers to loot it's insane

[frozen olive]

Shrug

It's good low risk

Valuables, rare industrials

I've walked out with 4 toolkits once

and 3 ratchets XD

I know it's not bitcoins

but Streets is just sucky

[gray compass]

you missed the part when xiaolao magnet loots all the intel

[frozen olive]

Scavs spawn too early, and everyone is hitting the same route

[foggy jay]

Census building + IT building + School medical building + bank building, man that area is crazy

[frozen olive]

yeah, Grok missed the part where you get killed by a hacker

[foggy jay]

the loot magnet is fixed

[gray compass]

it just isnt shown in the console anymore

literal cheaters themselves confirmed it

[foggy jay]

being killed by hackers in streets is relatively rare because there are just so much loot everywhere + line of sights are easy to break

[gray compass]

there was a screenshot from a cheater forum of a guy saying that loot manget still works

[compact knoll]

i hope ZhangWangLi doesnt kill you when you go on streets

[foggy jay]

I play EU servers

So I get killed by UsuckMaDong, not xiaoliu

[compact knoll]

its his cousin yes

[warm echo]

well fuck

Im actually enjoying this wipe

weird feeling.

@soft coral

[soft coral]

?

the fk you want

[warm echo]

dunno woodskov you still play.

[soft coral]

I don't

and I'm glad I'm not

[warm echo]

good

youve learned

took you a while but you climbed out.

[soft coral]

I'm enjoying life playing skyrim and isaac

I'm a changed man

fk playing this garbage dogshit mess of a game

[warm echo]

I remember the timmy woodskov playing in college ragin about the shit spawns

but hes a changed man

[soft coral]

I'm still in uni

[warm echo]

well like 2-3 years ago uni version of you

[soft coral]

I'm 3rd year

end of it

[warm echo]

almost done

you and ledy can go goon on woods one last time when you graduate

[soft coral]

Never again

[soft coral]

Not really

[low lotus]

why is everyone so happy about this tarkov wipe ? what changed so much that mafe everyone happy ?

[uncut coral]

just features which should have been in the game a while ago

still enjoying it

performance seems to be better with snow etc.

[soft coral]

only took them 7 years

[earnest timber]

Better Recoil. Vaulting. Armor Rework. Shoreline Rework. BTR Taxi on Streets which also functions as mobile stash.

A good step in the right direction

[low lotus]

ah so i will still die and have no clue who the hell shot me and where from if i start playing now

sadge

[warm echo]

all that is good

but spawns are still steamin shite

[low lotus]

i always seem to be versing like 2k hours people, so not much i can do

[warm echo]

become

[low lotus]

with my 200 hours lol

[warm echo]

eat legs

[low lotus]

i dont even get to see people let alone shoot them

i never see em never hear em

idk lol

it's prob just me

[earnest timber]

Still waiting for open world

[warm echo]

itll come out in 3030

[rich venture]

I disagree

[rich venture]

It is what it is you just have to learn from your mistakes

[lucid junco]

They really do move in herds...

so majestic

[soft coral]

mm pixelated trees

[frozen olive]

RUUUN boy RUUUN

[earnest timber]

1080p

[soft coral]

ultra HD

[stark torrent]

powered by gtx 750ti

[lucid junco]

you would think

but no

tho i do only have 16 gb ram

it all makes sense now

i had the funny Streets of Tarkov Lowered texture mode on

[lucid junco]

dude this raid was funny, i talked to a player scav after we scared the shit ot of each other

found his body later by the train tracks near skeleton, right next to Knight with a Sig Spear

[frozen olive]

[lucid junco]

i ran, found a herd of ai scavs, to many to fit in one screenshot

around 10 i think

as im at exfill i found the man the myth the legend, that one scav i tought died that raid was in flesh and bone, right in front of me

i legit tought he got gatted by 6.8x51mm

that shit was so funny

[rich venture]

I have realised quite recently that 5.7 l191 doesn't do much to a customised class 5 helmet

Worn by a certain mall fellow who roams in a Adidas tracksuit

[wraith wagon]

can raiders say scav spotted or only pmc

[frozen olive]

is there any point to try to face tap him with anything beyond an M80

[low raven]

I killed 4 pmcs with a shitty adar kit and died to a scav omw out 😭 mdr with m80 and two m4s gone

[rich venture]

Probably not

That was my second time seeing killa in 400 hours lul

[junior inlet]

The adar is gonna be my best friend again once I get access to decent ammo

[wraith wagon]

how to extract

[low raven]

Pretty sure they can as if a player scav pisses them off, they attack all player scavs

[low raven]

I made such a clean tx15, it's taking up dust until I manage to get ammo too

Also, apm enjoyers, RISE UP

[junior inlet]

Single shot guns eatin good this wipe, so much fun to use

[low raven]

Indeed

I saw someone do a test on apm

And it one shots chest on mid to close on almost every level 4

The ones it doesn't, it two taps

And has a chance to one shot level 5 although low

In the moment of spamming you are definitely safe

Oh and straight through altyns and the rest of the face shields

Altyn face shields not the helmet itself tho

The helmet seems to be 2-3 shots

[junior inlet]

Can't wait for a kitted 209 to run my shit

[low raven]

Same, already got kitted aks waiting to be used

Getting money just so I can buy apm and switch them out to vpos

[wraith wagon]

it was in labs

[low raven]

Sometimes rogues in lighthouse say locals spotted or scavs spotted even though you're a pmc so I'm pretty sure it's the same thing

[uncut coral]

scav spotted just means they aggro'd onto you

or anything else that's living

pmc or not

[low raven]

He was in labs

[stark torrent]

Yes labs has raiders

[uncut coral]

yes

[stark torrent]

which can have both usec and bear voicelines

[low raven]

Not quite what the point was but yes that's true

[stark torrent]

some voicelines say scav spotted, some say i see the enemy, contact etc

[uncut coral]

yes

doesn't matter if it's a scav or a pmc they still have the same voicelines

even in labs

[subtle wing]

Oh neat I can still shit up tarkov chat

Solo mains WW@????

[wraith wagon]

ive never seen this in my 900 hours

how crazy of an item is this

[dapper grotto]

that should unlock the ledx craft pretty sure

and some of the other high tech items

[wraith wagon]

different one 😦

[dapper grotto]

[wraith wagon]

only shit my book can craft is lightkeeper shit

[stark torrent]

that book is very rare

however

very useless

congrats

because you need to finish lightkeeper quests in order to unlock the useless craft

of whatever

[frozen olive]

Super rare imo

yeah

it has almost no value cause LK

lmao

[low raven]

@dapper grotto le streets?

[dapper grotto]

gimme like 20mins eating food atm

[low raven]

bet

gonna do a quickie on interchange

[covert narwhal]

most pmc looking scav I've ever extracted with 💀

[next temple]

hmmm

sus

Either that is a sweat

[wooden chasm]

Me af… just finished setup

[next temple]

or I encoutnered a cheater again

[wooden chasm]

I am scum but so worth to finish setup

[covert narwhal]

you gotta do what you gotta do

I respect the grind

[wooden chasm]

I already got a dude

He gave me food and drinks whst a kind man

[covert narwhal]

very generous of him

[wooden chasm]

Even a grizzly what a generous man

So kind

[wooden chasm]

Very generous

[low raven]

(not worth it

[covert narwhal]

you look dope though

[low raven]

Yeah

[covert narwhal]

thats a victory in it of itself

[low raven]

600k on the helmet alone

ngs aside

[stark torrent]

It only spawns on Killa

which is both good and bad

[covert narwhal]

jesusss

I don't even know what helmet that is 💀

[low raven]

please be lying

please tell me you're talking about something else

[low raven]

level 3 all around dog ass

but cool

[covert narwhal]

really? lmao

[stark torrent]

nah that facemask can now spawn on killa too

instead of his signature adidas maska

[covert narwhal]

expensive ass helmet for t3 protection

[stark torrent]

its good cause u can headshot him with bad ammo i guess

its bad cause you need the maska for the quest

[covert narwhal]

does the mask need to be fir?

[stark torrent]

Yes

You need the whole helmet

[lucid junco]

i aint one to camp but i have been doing the exact same for setup so

[frozen olive]

Setup should be map free

Factory it

[empty ether]

fear makes you survive

just had a match with g36 blasted everyone thought im good at the game

second match one shot to head

even though i dropped my gun somewhere esle so i get it in insurance

w me

[covert narwhal]

gate 3 my beloved

[wooden chasm]

my personal fav is camping cliff on reserve sitting in the tree

or sitting in the trees in streets

love ruining peoples afternoons by shooting their legs and watching them shoot everything and then just tapping them

[native hull]

anyone want to play with a newbie?

maybe help me survive more? or teach me how to survive more

[rich venture]

SA-58 and m80 slaps don't let anyone tell you anything else

[native hull]

im flat broke almost ;-;

[rich venture]

I'd be down to play but I'm going to hop off in a couple mins

I'm not good at the game by any means but ig I can give u some pointers

[gray compass]

[rich venture]

Good shit

[wooden chasm]

@covert narwhal

[wooden chasm]

thought I had it done but I did not

[wooden chasm]

I got another kill camping tarcone

so

switching between those 2 spots rn

[earnest timber]

It is weird that the cleanup crew in Arena uses the PMC voices and not the Bloodhound ones

[wooden chasm]

scavs keep coming in

not players

[wooden chasm]

everything but fucking players

[covert narwhal]

the scav swarm is real this wipe

you'll kill one and 50 will appear

[wooden chasm]

its 5 mins

into raid

and 1 of them was a player

there is a 3rd one outside the door

[earnest timber]

Anyone know some good hiding spot for Setup? lmao

15 kills is overkill

[wooden chasm]

evac camp

or just rat

[covert narwhal]

Charon is sitting in the gas station in customs

I know ZB-1011 (the far one) has some good spots too

Old Gas you could also camp

[wooden chasm]

another one

im gonna have a pile

by a time a player comes

[frozen olive]

How rat you want to be

Crackhouse corner peek is lethal

the "3rd floor" dorms door is also ez kill but double edge

[native hull]

someone down to play with a newbie?

[native hull]

ah, next time then

[wooden chasm]

@covert narwhal bro when did scavs wear fucking ghzels???

[covert narwhal]

I've never encountered a zabralo

definetly not on a scav

[wooden chasm]

[wooden chasm]

i am struggling

i have barely over 1.5k roubles, no meds, barely any food, and guns i dont have ammo for

[rich venture]

You should scav

[native hull]

good point

but at this point i feel like im just gonna die

idk how to make good money so

[frozen olive]

Scav because dying is consequence free

[native hull]

fair

just with how i am with the game it feels hopeless

[wooden chasm]

factory sell all equipment repeat

[native hull]

thx for advice

[earnest timber]

https://youtu.be/28ivHT0D9k0?si=0kQJ3HVPgiZz4W2D

This did not age well

[wooden chasm]

me with already eod

[wooden chasm]

in g36 we trust

[covert narwhal]

🙏

[wooden chasm]

it was a 3 man trying to do tarcone and they killed my friend

[covert narwhal]

It'll be like that for a bit, my best advice is to just play play play and get a feel for how the gameplay goes

[wooden chasm]

so I went ham

[covert narwhal]

My best piece of advice if you're solo is to just LISTEN

wear nice headphones (m32's are a good buy from skier early on)

and just listen for players, and jump them if you can

imo the gun you use doesn't matter when you get the drop on somebody (unless its a tokarev or something silly like that)

[lucid junco]

good raid

[compact knoll]

[lucid junco]

CHAD GUN

[wintry ridge]

stm9 ugly little brother

can't put 30's on it

[lucid junco]

easy tho

[wintry ridge]

50*

[wooden chasm]

what fucking key is this

[compact knoll]

streets of tarkov

[wooden chasm]

yeah Im selling it then

[dapper grotto]

streets marked room that you can vault glitch into

[brittle needle]

bro needs to open his eyes and ears

[native hull]

thx

[lucid junco]

now this is a gun

[gray compass]

very nice, was wearing t6

[wintry ridge]

can finally put a laser on it

you know what bsg needs to add, item-wise

those mp5k mods

this would be so sick

and the flashlight handguard for the mp5

[compact knoll]

at least the sling stock man

thats how its supposed to be used

[wintry ridge]

true

the mp5k with a sling and a suppressor looks so nice

i want that uhh

[wintry ridge]

supressor in the picture

that kinda dimpled one

i hate the 9x19 supressors we have

the osprey is good but it looks so ugly on most guns

[gray compass]

w coop extract reward

[wintry ridge]

the ammo is pretty good

main bonus is the scav rep

[frozen olive]

Streets? You eating good brother

[gray compass]

in shoreline expansion we trust

[stark torrent]

Main issue is , you can find all that on streets but u dont have to run 500km in the open field

[white void]

woods will always be king

[gray compass]

you forgot the part where you have 30 fps and are constantly fucked over by cheaters

• barely anyone goes to the expansion area

[stark torrent]

Nah, i mean i didnt have issues with cheaters as a scav on streets

FPS i understand 100% tho

[soft coral]

no we dont

[soft coral]

Give this man a raise

[white void]

ALOOOOO IVAN

[soft coral]

and a blowjob for speaking the truth

[white void]

I preach the truth

[stark torrent]

And yes i would rather run the fields of Woods than Snoreline

[soft coral]

we preach

Shitline

cancerline

xinpingline

[gray compass]

woods is like shoreline but without resort

[wintry ridge]

i'd rather be stuck in usec camp all match than run shoreline

[soft coral]

Woods is shoreline but actually better

but some people are not ready to accept that fact yet

[white void]

yes

[stark torrent]

Nah, woods has loot all around , meanwhile Snoreline now only has loot in resort or at the expansion where car extract is so high chance u get a player or two there anyway

[white void]

sadly

[soft coral]

shoreline loot is only good in resort

if the village is still there

it mainly has tech loot

and some duffles

[white void]

shoreline loot is only good when you instead go to woods

[soft coral]

idk what they added with the expansion

but its probably shit

[gray compass]

tons of loose loot and containers in a small area

[soft coral]

oh look

woods has the same

its actually the main benefit of woods

[white void]

shoreline is just woods younger, bullied, out of place brother

[soft coral]

Glad I'm not a shoreline main

[white void]

same

[soft coral]

Marathon map

llama I taught you

[white void]

yes yes

you taught me the truth

You showed me the light

I'm glad you werent a shoreline main because if you had tried to preach that i would've told you to kys

in game

[soft coral]

In game

[frozen olive]

Village and Swamp is goated

[stark torrent]

Ppl go in village if they want to quest and get sniped

[gray compass]

ive never seen any players in swamps ever

literally

people have no reason to go there other than a few quests

other wise they rush resort

[soft coral]

swamps before only had like 3 stashes
3/4 boxes and that's it

No fucking wonder you don't see shit

You can literally remove 50% of shoreline and nobody would notice

[warm echo]

woodskov father of the forest

[frozen olive]

Swamp has 3 stashes, and now it has about 20 toolboxes (the cool ones) spawns, + ammo boxes, guns, and a greenbox by the truck that spawns really nice shit

like an ANA-2 Backpack

or AK-12's

[soft coral]

oh wow

they finally realized they can add loot to maps

[frozen olive]

the "scav" checkpoint above it it's also very nice

it has about 3-5 green army boxes

and I'm sure stuff I missed

[white void]

in game

[empty ether]

swamps on shoreline? i killed 2 pmcs there as an scav

actually one was already dead took his ak with bp ammo and blasted the other guy

extracted with 60kg wourth of loot

[fierce turret]

ive had more problems with cheaters on shoreline than i have streets

shoreline is also the worst map in my opinion

woods is def on top

[uncut coral]

[green panther]

Oh wow, a zibbo

Reserve moment

[gray compass]

the one time i managed to get to the pier before outpost grinders sanitar spawned and killed me

[green panther]

Dang it

I missed the train

[gray compass]

dont take the train lol

pscavs will fuck you up

[green panther]

I will fuck them up

Well

I already kill one pscavs

[stark torrent]

rely already at kekkeeper

no way

[wanton yarrow]

tan is cheaper

[white void]

you massacred that svd

[stark torrent]

Escape from LPS

[dapper grotto]

sew it good is fixed

[frozen olive]

new patchnotes?

[wanton yarrow]

Works worse than it looks

[frozen olive]

Sadge

I somehow stole a SVD from a guy in GZ

when I was like lvl 5

[uncut coral]

wdym ? they fixed the 2nd zabralo ?

[dapper grotto]

its 2 6b13 armors now

not zabralos

[uncut coral]

ain't no way

I grinded outposts for that shit

[dapper grotto]

[wanton yarrow]

new pb

[frozen olive]

fucking ell

[soft coral]

Brother sniping a scav from lighthouse all the way to streets

[warm echo]

ah yes

nothing more calmer

than scav wood ping pongin hidden staches

I missed this.

💰

[earnest timber]

Too bad i won't get my Zabralo back

[dapper grotto]

would have lost it to a headneck/armpit from shit ammo anyway

[earnest timber]

At least i could have sold it

without plates of course

W change anyway

Now make Setup 10 kills lol

[stark torrent]

the real change

8 kills would be perfection

[earnest timber]

the real change would be to allow the usage of any shotguns, too

[earnest timber]

and cut down on RNG quests because those are asinine

Do more quests that makes you explore lesser known parts of the game

[stark torrent]

TBF the boss quests should always be optional and not kappa related

But this is BSG's way to "slow progression" in the game basically

A very old and obsolete way but they dont care at this point

They coded it once , they wont change it again

[earnest timber]

I mean it makes sense when wipes stop existing at one point

[stark torrent]

I think they scrapped that idea or whatever

Nikita said Wipes are very important to the game right now and they havent said jack shit about no wipes in the future

It was a rumour and that was that

Same with the "connected" maps

[earnest timber]

Why is it so important though? You grind and grind and grind just to wipe all the progress you made...

It is why i only play every other wipe so there's a lot more new content for me to come back to

Playing through an entire wipe just burns me out to no end

[covert narwhal]

Well imagine your a level 1, and you’re trying to level but every single player you encounter is running meta gear so you just get annihilated

[stark torrent]

Well different ways of seeing it i guess, for me wipes are enjoyable , i like early wipe when everyone is on that "leveled" field considering gear etc

[covert narwhal]

The difference in gear becomes crazy between new and old players as the wipe progresses

[stark torrent]

True and tbf being super kitted doesnt help either , when you kill 2 plyers and you see they had bare bones kit

doenst even pay for your bullets you used etc

[covert narwhal]

Yeah it’s a lose lose situation

[stark torrent]

They need to make guns more valuable to sell

[uncut coral]

I promise you no matter how kitted you are you will still die to the same BS every now and then

[stark torrent]

Ofc cheaters add to this problem too

[covert narwhal]

And especially for people who are just being introduced to this game playing late wipe is a quick way to never play tarkov again for most people

[stark torrent]

It will suck the life out of the game when u kit up with good gear and die to a cheater

[stark torrent]

Oh of course , can happen both ways , sometimes you are the one that bullshits on someone and gets stacked

[covert narwhal]

Of course but that doesn’t matter late wipe if you have 5 other kits of the same type

[earnest timber]

Say hello to my poleva slug left armpit shot

[stark torrent]

I mean you say that , but it's still super hard to hit the armpit if you want to

Headshots are still the most reliable things to kill people

[covert narwhal]

I haven’t died to the armpit yet at all

Just the ol’ head eyes

[stark torrent]

What saddens me is that they made 80% of the armors now useless

Because IRL those carriers are usually suplemented by additional stuff on it etc

[covert narwhal]

I’ve just been running the DRD/stuff u get from scavving

[earnest timber]

realistic armor be like

[covert narwhal]

Carriers being bad sucks though

[stark torrent]

Like on HPC or tactec, it only has front and back plate IRL because thats the cheapest base version

But you can add additional plates to it

Here you cant

Or the hexgrid , irl you can put it underneath a vest

[covert narwhal]

Overall I think the changes are a plus though

[stark torrent]

And the main issue is that , plates irl will protect vital areas , getting shot in the upper shoulder is not as bad as getting shot in the heart

[earnest timber]

If only they brought back the ability to combine rigs and vests

[covert narwhal]

I think they add some more nuance to the game

[stark torrent]

but in tarkov , shoulder is still thorax

[earnest timber]

But only the vest or rig can have plates in it for "muh balance"

[stark torrent]

They could make damage modifiers , like if you get hit in upper shoulders your thorax takes 30% less dmg or shit

But i fear if they do that they will fuck with the game again and we will have 350 bugs

[earnest timber]

Too late to remake the code from scratch

[stark torrent]

Oh yeah that was clear

As i said , i think tarkov somewhat peaked or is close to peaking

Aint much you can do about it now

[covert narwhal]

I think this wipe or next wipe might be the peak

The recoil changes are realllllly good and if they work out a few of the issues with armor it’ll be pretty solid

[stark torrent]

Like the gamecode / desync etc wont be fixed and thats that

Their main saving grace is that nobody made even a close clone of this game

[covert narwhal]

Well yeah they don’t have a single competitor

Though I imagine a game like tarkov is probably very difficult to code

[stark torrent]

Or cheaters, with the way the gamecode is made right now , cheaters have it on a platter

Very easy to abuse it

Doesnt help that Unity is also a well known game engine and many started their careers on it , so they have insane experience on it

[uncut coral]

I feel like most of the vars they abuse to get nospread/loot cheats are already built in by BSG

via the skill system

[stark torrent]

or the weapon stats themselves

[uncut coral]

yeah

[stark torrent]

i mean that is true because they modify iits values , thats why we had guns with actually 0 zero recoil

[uncut coral]

I imagine it would be easy to fetch and modify those vars without the server preventing it

as of now

[stark torrent]

and thats also why they wouldnt be detected in the first place

[stark torrent]

Oh yeah , same with the speedhacks

Or the god mode hack , where the cheater's body was actually standing still in a corner of the map

So ofc the game would not detect the guy

He was afk

[uncut coral]

yes and infstamina etc.

[uncut coral]

remember the snake cheat ?

[stark torrent]

Yeahhh

Or the spawn the whole container cheat

[covert narwhal]

I saw images of that

[stark torrent]

On alpha tarkov cheaters could access your whole inventory and literally take shit from everything

[covert narwhal]

Just entire suitcases in their inventory

[stark torrent]

THere was a guy that was switchinge everyone's meds and container with cheese AI2 meds

You could steal someone's gun

Fromt heir hands etc

Crazy

It was alpha tho , i guess it was expected

[covert narwhal]

lol that’s just funny honestly

[stark torrent]

What is not expected is 7 years later , more or less the same shit is happening still lol

[earnest timber]

Was vacuum cheating a thing in Alpha?

[uncut coral]

I saw a clip of a cheater in reserve pick up the mounted AGS on dome and run around wiping the lobby

[stark torrent]

oh yeahhhh i saw that as well

[earnest timber]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDs1IKRlRjY

HUH?

HOW IS THIS NOT DETECTED?

[uncut coral]

yeah, that's the one

[stark torrent]

Because it;s probably seens as a gun so nothing wron

you can interact with it technically when u press F on it

And they prob never thought of making it throw an error if you fucking move with it lol

[earnest timber]

Blud is literally Tarkin

[covert narwhal]

Because all of the like interactable loot/weapon objects seem to be actual entities

Which is really weird

[frozen olive]

Exploration Quests > Kill 10 Raiders/Scavs in Assplace that needs you to sit there for 40 mins

[frozen olive]

aren't full combat kit/uniforms also designed to help on top of body armor?

would be a nice thing if PMC clothing could go above "naked"

and still be like class 0.5/1 armor at best

[frozen olive]

Just make it so you can wear armor + armored vests again

[frozen olive]

I think what's more insane is Vengeful Siraccha tanking 50 40mm nades

[real solstice]

Did arena fall off?

[frozen olive]

Yes

By virtue of being WoT

[frozen olive]

Also it had Tarkov queue's

[upbeat lark]

iirc spt realism had a feature which added certain vital areas to your body

[real solstice]

Bu virtue of being world of tanks?

I dont see any of the big (or any really) tarky tubers talking about it

[frozen olive]

It does

[frozen olive]

Yeah they basically made Tarkov (with the matching times to match) but with World of Tanks tech trees

[dapper grotto]

there is also the fact that we got one of the biggest wipe's in years shortly after release

[real solstice]

Tru

I haven't touched arena in 3 weeks

[rich venture]

1.2 mil to get 7 more pmc kills

We are up

[wooden chasm]

we getting out of skier quest with this one 🗣️

[rich venture]

Not even trying to do friend from the west I'm greasing some weekly I have to do

[wooden chasm]

I was talking more about setup lol

[rich venture]

I can't be fucked to do setup

[wooden chasm]

victims of my bait

[wooden chasm]

me af doing setup rn

[dapper grotto]

almost lvl 45 and i'v yet to do a single setup kill

[wooden chasm]

my 9th kill for setup

waiter waiter! more pmcs please!

[stark torrent]

Thats so real

Tbf mutant was kinda nerfed anyway so who needs to unlock skier quests

[wooden chasm]

I just got disconnected

[stark torrent]

I already have him maxed

[wooden chasm]

fuck nikkta

[stark torrent]

Fuck setup and fuck customs

[wooden chasm]

i was about to grub all his shit and I got disconnected

[dapper grotto]

i need setup for lightkeeper

[stark torrent]

Customs is literally shotgun andies sitting in chokepoints

[wooden chasm]

I wonder who would do such a thing

[dapper grotto]

couldn't be anyone on this discord surely

[lucid junco]

hahahah

[stark torrent]

You need sbih too which i cant be fucked

[wooden chasm]

I already evac camp d2

so

[rich venture]

finally: elimination ready to be completed

[wooden chasm]

worth it

[dapper grotto]

[wooden chasm]

me with a ks23 and impact

[lucid junco]

this quest is the only time where i have truly exfill camped

[wooden chasm]

how debious

[dapper grotto]

begone foul demon

[lucid junco]

i mostly just send it into dorms with a red dot DVL

these full auto guns aint for me

[dapper grotto]

you dont need sbih anymore

[earnest timber]

There's a whole army of scavs in Interchange lately

[dapper grotto]

and woods

[rich venture]

Just run around :D

[dapper grotto]

seriously i can walk out of woods with 20-30 scav kills

[wooden chasm]

what a kind man

[wooden chasm]

blessing me

[rich venture]

If only he decided not to move

Can't wait for the day when tarkov becomes pay to win

[earnest timber]

It already is

EOD

[wooden chasm]

eod is gone

[earnest timber]

Only took them 7 years

[wooden chasm]

lol

[earnest timber]

"EOD will be removed right after release"

-Nikita

[wooden chasm]

another man fell for my bait cause I scattered his loot around

[earnest timber]

Not surprised they removed it just now considering the game has been in EA for so long

[wooden chasm]

blessing of the rat gods

setup isnt to bad

[earnest timber]

Setup requires you to rat or you get shafted otherwise

[empty ether]

idk but i like to call badlanders or arena breakout pay to win

[wooden chasm]

i've been ratting

so yes

[empty ether]

since you can buy equipment from battle pass

[frozen olive]

Man uh

Factory W pushing is such a fucking bad idea

Just holding a corner is so much better

[empty ether]

or maybe lost light this game you can kill anyone with anybullet

[frozen olive]

Don't ask me how I got this lesson put into me

[empty ether]

at least its possible

[frozen olive]

you want to trip people up drop a pistol w a laser or flashlight

[empty ether]

just do quick peaks

second time crouch and peak

so you get them and dont forget left shoulder it is usefull

[wooden chasm]

backpack works good enough

[frozen olive]

50/50 if they're aware enough they'll double check

If they're goblins they'll die

and if they're chads they'll frag and shoot the "ligh"

[wooden chasm]

like chads go to big red

and new gas often

[frozen olive]

Directos has intel spawn

so yeah

[wooden chasm]

if they really want intel they would go to crackhouse

the 1 in a million chance it spawns in the trash bin 💀

[frozen olive]

I'm gonna be honest

I've checked Crackhouse 7 times

and Library and Med are was bare

So either nerf or Hacker

[wooden chasm]

idk I usually find intel or at least a flash drive in the drawers

[rich venture]

Nah but imagine being able to play real money for in game currency

[real solstice]

You can
Just not within TOS

[rich venture]

I mean tbf that could kill rmt really since you can get all the shit u want with your own money ig

[frozen olive]

OSRS moment

[earnest timber]

You pay for better starter kit that gives you an advantage in early wipe, you get better standing which lets you level them faster and in turn you get access to better gear faster, you get a humongous stash that you otherwise have to pay around 40M roubles to get, a lot of fucking money that can go into upgrading the entire hideout instead which is also a huge money maker which, AGAIN, gets you better gear that increases your odds of survival and be better at PVP. In a way, it's kind of pay-to-win

oh, and all that stash space lets you store a lot of quest items to level up real fast

you pay a lot of money just to essentially cut the grind in half

and get ahead a lot of people

But, if you suck at Tarkov, then nothing i said matters lmao

[frozen olive]

Also don't forget

9 ass space

[real solstice]

Trimming zabralos just drop it to me

[frozen olive]

literally shove a battery up your ass

or carry sic, docs, and meds

[earnest timber]

Yeah, gamma

stash valuables and your deaths are less punishing

[wooden chasm]

me running customs with mdr with a eo and level 4 stash already

best feeling ever

on day 1 wipe

you can be loot goblin all you want

[earnest timber]

Good for you!

[rich venture]

That's kinda the balancing factor

It's more of a thing you'd buy if you plan on playing the game a fuck ton to not repeat the grind every wipe

[dapper grotto]

the ncstar scope is kinda good with new recoil

[frozen olive]

To be fair

gear makes it easier to win any fight

and EoD is basically like, huge leg up since you can LL2 every trader with just playing factory for example

[next temple]

I need to get better at tarkov

I personally have like

[wooden chasm]

just killed a pmc trying to take trailer park sitting in the bus

[next temple]

80 hours

[wooden chasm]

i love setup

[rich venture]

True

Loyalty levels should be rebalanced

[frozen olive]

I also I don't think I need to elaborate how LL2 is stupidly strong vs Standard accs

Since Ragman sells "real armor"

also huge stash space means you can keep 300 scav kits

[dapper grotto]

it aint even the armor its the backpacks

[frozen olive]

most good armor and bullets are quest locked but easier rep is stupid since it means you can do a lot of the easy baby quests

btw irrelevant

but I wish tarkov preloaded on game load

and then matchmaking was like 1 min tops

[wooden chasm]

@rich venture rip my boy

fellow man doing setup

[frozen olive]

that would improve the fucking game so much
