[untold harness]

Shoreline is fine

Streets and Reserve are dogshit as PMC

Really good as scav tho

[rich venture]

Little do they know that this is every single tarkov raid ever

[rich venture]

Real

[soft coral]

early morning in Bulgaria

[brittle sinew]

It's "fine" relative to other tarkov maps

[untold harness]

I like woods :)

[rich venture]

I think shoreline has potential to be a good map

[brittle sinew]

It does

BSG just fumbles the bag every time

[earnest timber]

the rifle is glued to his chest

[stark torrent]

bug introduced like a 2 wipes ago i have no idea how

happens only with scavs i noticed

PMCs will have the gun in their hands

[stark torrent]

Idk

Woods - Top Tier and best outdoors map
Reserve - Ok for quick action , spawns are cancer
Customs - Only reason its a bit better than reserve is the spawns are not that bad
Lighthouse- I like it but it requires a certain playstile and daytime makes the water treatement area ( half map ) impossible
Interchange - While lighting is better, loot sucks , spawns kinda suck , extract suck alot
Shoreline - Spawns on the east side are pretty bad , map is still too big for nothing to be on it.
Ground Zero - I like the map but the spawns are reserve level of bad .
Labs - Would be chad factory if cheaters werent hugging it like crazy + you need to pay 166k at least to get in lul
Streets - Streets is actually an ok map , it has best loot and good extracts, main issue is performance i guess

[brittle sinew]

Agree, streets is actually a good map

Maybe even the best

It has good flow, good combat, decent spawns, the BTR, great loot, good extracts

All of the other maps have a problem with one of those things

Woods is the best outdoors map, but I don't really find that many long range engagements tbh, maybe I'm looking the wrong places

Your take on customs is L though, I find that customs has some of the best pvp of the maps

Between crackhouse, fort, the gas stations, big red & dorms. It has a lot of guaranteed pvp locations. It suffers from setup warriors though

Whereas a map like snoreline has resort and maybe pier

[brittle sinew]

Lighthouse has good long range combat, but I have a hard time finding pmcs outside of wtp and chalets

Reserve got ruined by the loot nerfs and the bunker expansion. I only play that map for quests and quick pvp now

Big agree on IC, GZ and labs

I wish those maps were better

[brittle sinew]

Streets has a problem of it's own though and that's player scavs spawning in super early, wish they'd fix that

All in all most maps are not chill and kind of a chore to play tbh

[terse pecan]

no its not

shoreline is pain

and suffering

and also there is a lot of quests on it

[untold harness]

[terse pecan]

i have never seen a single person who has experience in tarkov not complain about shoreline

[brittle sinew]

Big agree

I largely think it's just some people never having experienced good level design after playing so much tarkov

[soft coral]

know your limits

don't push it

[terse pecan]

streets was big hype when it first came out

like

oh man you can now get in those cool urban shootouts that you see in the cinematics

[soft coral]

well ye

cuz it was supposed to be the biggest map

and then like

25% of hte map came out

[brittle sinew]

BSG ambition at it again

[soft coral]

its in hte alpha trailer btw

that's how long they had the idea for it

[brittle sinew]

And now we have classic tarkov pvp of swing or get swung

[soft coral]

move = die

[brittle sinew]

That's one thing I will agree with Ivan on in the "Nothing has changed". Pvp has stayed the same for a long time

Swing or get swung

Rat or get ratted

[soft coral]

has audio changed?

For the most part I like to exaggurate a bit when I shit on the game

for comedic value

[terse pecan]

i mean there are people who try to change the pvp

[soft coral]

obv they have improved in some aspects...and not a single step forwards in others

[terse pecan]

but they do it with 5 people

[brittle sinew]

"Some people" Karmakut

You mean karmakut

[terse pecan]

yeah yeah

the american larper

[brittle sinew]

That's the only dude I see doing 5 man squads

[terse pecan]

wait i just defined half of americans

[soft coral]

5 mans is easy mode tarkov

[terse pecan]

there is the tacticool larper 5 man squad

then there is the soviet army 5 man squad

[brittle sinew]

I think it's a fad, I don't think it's going to change pvp as a whole

[terse pecan]

me and my duo once got rushed by people with the soviet helmets

paca vests

mosins and ppshs

5 people

it was scary

really scary

they just kept coming

[brittle sinew]

The ONLY thing that actually changed pvp was inertia

and people cried about it sooo hard

And then pvp reverted to the same old swing or get swung in like a month

[terse pecan]

ngl i would love to get 5 people together and rush chads with really good gear

4 of us die

but we get the kit

that's all that matters

[brittle sinew]

What's stopping you?

[terse pecan]

can't find 3

[brittle sinew]

I'm down, make that 2

I have some friends who might join too sometime

[terse pecan]

but which one is better

ppsh

or mosin

[brittle sinew]

RPD

[terse pecan]

no you can't bring expensive things

the point is to bring the most cheapest thing possible

and rush the enemy with a endless horde of ppshs and mosins

and if somebody backs down and doesn't rush

we kill them

and then rush

[brittle sinew]

Brother you are trolling, the RPD is just 90k

[terse pecan]

well i don't really know its price

haven't played the game for awhile

[brittle sinew]

I use the RPD in groups constantly, it's very effective and fun

[terse pecan]

got to level 15

then never played again

[earnest timber]

rpd is stupid fun

[brittle sinew]

I'm at lvl 42, this is the first wipe I've played till lvl 42 since 2020-21

[earnest timber]

i gunned down a zabralo guy and he was struggling to run away xdd

[brittle sinew]

It's crazy effective for suppressing people

[terse pecan]

my friend has a friend

that was like

level 20

at the first week of the wipe

[brittle sinew]

People don't know how to respond to 100 7.62 bullets

[terse pecan]

idk if he's a streamer or not

but level 20 is crazy

[earnest timber]

either a streamer or a neet

or both

[brittle sinew]

Definitely neet

Rogue farming or boss hunting

Or just pvping

[terse pecan]

what do you guys think is the hardest boss to kill?

[brittle sinew]

BSG should put a 6 hour play time lock in the first 2 weeks of a wipe just to troll neets lol

[terse pecan]

real

[brittle sinew]

Boss or boss + guards?

[terse pecan]

boss and guards

[stark torrent]

i found a zabralo just now in the backpack of a raider

[brittle sinew]

Glukhar is high on the list then

[stark torrent]

[brittle sinew]

Goons are tough too

[terse pecan]

yeah

glukhar and goons is really hard

especially if on shoreline they are at that weather station or something like that

you cannot even approach without getting head eyes'd by birdeye

[brittle sinew]

Cultists are really hard aswell

I count them as bosses

[terse pecan]

because they are

[brittle sinew]

Same AI, so

[terse pecan]

they are counted as bosses

[brittle sinew]

Byeah

[terse pecan]

but they're weird

[brittle sinew]

They're hard to find though, haven't seen them this wipe yet

Despite looking for them

[terse pecan]

i once saw one

while i was in shoreline

and i had the lvl2 skier night vision

so really hard to see

there was a blackness on the ground

then i realised it was a cultist after it stabbed me

it was a horrifying experience

[brittle sinew]

They are

Killa is also really tough

Super tanky and super fast

Kaban and his gang are tricky to fight, between the guards, player scavs and other pmcs

[terse pecan]

also claymores

[brittle sinew]

You learn those quite fast

Easy or hard way, you learn their areas

[terse pecan]

yeah but still a bitch

the easiest bosses tho

should be shturman

because if you get close

and you got cover

its kinda easy

idk why but AI of shturman is weird

[brittle sinew]

Shturman is super easy

So is Reshala and his gang

[terse pecan]

especially if they line up

[brittle sinew]

I killed both really early into the wipe

[terse pecan]

when you get close to shturman he just becomes retarded

[brittle sinew]

I remember the days when he'd powerslide your ass

[terse pecan]

man about goons btw

the first raid

of the wipe before this one

the one without ground zer

me and my duo went in

we were on woods

the first AI or enemy we encounter

its goons

in the sunken village

unluckiest raid ever

[brittle sinew]

Yeah woods goons are awful

Cant see them, they see you

[terse pecan]

also normally goons shouldn't follow you

but knight followed me

i tried to escape but nah man that fucker tracked me down

[autumn estuary]

I thought that was literally their thing?

They chase you until you, or they are dead.

[earnest timber]

So Tarkov Arena has 2 tiers now, but they are still called "Tier 2" and "Tier 3"

what gives?

They even took Rhyzy away

NOT RHYZY

[soft coral]

what gives is....no

I won't type this time

[stark torrent]

one of the most cheaters i ever ran into

my man is a chad

[lament kayak]

me fr

[soft coral]

one of the players

Tigz probably knows him

[lament kayak]

justified headshot over whole map?

[broken sphinx]

What ?? Lol i stankrat is my inspiration

[stark torrent]

[broken mist]

I just one farted a guy with a Toz 106

and absolutely ruined his day

Probablyh made him ragequit

He lost all this

I had only a toz and a balaclava

and a dream

I didn't even slug him, buckshot just dropped him

[untold harness]

Doing quests 💤

Making people ragequit

[brittle sinew]

God bless the impact grenade for helping with this

No better tool has been added since that

[vivid dawn]

Whats the best marked room for getting like Ammo boxes or any other cases?

[gray compass]

mrkd rooms on reserve other than pkpm, marked rooms on streets

[vivid dawn]

Streets guess il have to do it then

RB-BK i had mostly guns in it but the chance to extract was relatively small because of Bunker Rats and such or Glugar going bush Wookie outside

[broken mist]

Litterally this

[earnest timber]

[autumn estuary]

I really hate border snipers. Just because they make so little sense.

These two guys sat out there 24/7 with a line in the dirt of none shall pass,

[soft coral]

Wow

new tarkov update looks good

they really stepped up this time

[stark torrent]

well technically in lore i think those are terriotries and shit and they do have paid snipers

On woods it makes little sense tho , like , why would they have random sniper in a tree looking over more trees

Should have had like Checkpoints or towers outside of map at least

[autumn estuary]

they're just really randomly placed,

Like... I can kinda get the ones at the bridge in woods?

[soft coral]

Either make a wall on all maps where the snipers are

or put mines instead of snipers

snipers should be only on specific places

like streets

it makes sense there

on woods , no

you see mister ivan in the bush everyday

[ancient marsh]

https://clips.twitch.tv/StrangeHorribleStinkbugShadyLulu-VUlFHD7-uQb5EJ3Q

[ancient marsh]

i played streets yesterday and unironically taht was the fog

it was like 30m range visibility max

[signal dune]

ig this FLIR is fucking gone

I've tried about 15 times to reconnect fuck you bsg

Fix your shit

[edgy juniper]

If ur lucky you'll keep ur stuff

[signal dune]

Better

Osprey protection kit, rsass with flir, bastion with applique, death shadow

It's all stuff I can rebuy but it's a piss take if I lose it like this

Guess I'll play helldivers

[ancient marsh]

least cheating tarkov player

[signal dune]

wtf lmao

[stark torrent]

he is simply an alpha player that knows the game very well

[ancient marsh]

he is dr strange playing 5 raids at once

[soft coral]

:D

he knows the rotations

the spawns too

he is simply better player

[earnest timber]

the math is mathing up

[stark torrent]

cheating so hard it broke a simple calculation

I understand , not allowed to play

[soft coral]

Nuh uh buddy

Buddy boy

He really thought he could play

[wintry ridge]

🙄

[signal dune]

its been 3 hours and its still saying im in raid and (obviously) still throwing the same error lmao

i guess im not allowed to play any more

[winged mica]

How so many tarkov cheaters survive 1000 hours without being banned

[stark torrent]

It is a survival game

[wintry ridge]

actual answer? prolly didn't start cheating until a while in

ivan answer?
"bsg loves not banning cheaterz!!!!!"

[autumn estuary]

More likely answer: Folks cheat for a while and eventually get banned,

if tarkov had good anti cheat, it wouldn't have a reputation for being full of cheaters.

[wintry ridge]

real

tarkov is rust-tier

[soft coral]

wrong

[real solstice]

Pwease dont cheat 🥺

[soft coral]

it is a MMO rpg with realism elements

[autumn estuary]

It's not like, the worst ever. You can play and not encounter cheaters for a fair old while, but by the same token you can expect to see a cheater frequently enough to really not get attached to anything.

[soft coral]

the game was never spposed to be realistic

its mmo

skill issue

[autumn estuary]

Tarkov's a walking sim.

[soft coral]

yes

[autumn estuary]

Or is that just shoreline.

unironic snoreline enjoyer's club

[soft coral]

?????

I never said they love not banning

They are unable to

there is a different

or rather

they suck at it

[vivid dawn]

Also people forget they need to ban em in Waves and because Tarkov mostly has changes on Wipes which are 3 times a year its really hard

Cause if you just ban accounts non stop they still can use the same cheats

If you change stuff,let them play for 4-5 months and THEN ban em they got to figure out what changed first to keep the cheats running without getting banned

So basicly the wipe system is really shitty for that

[autumn estuary]

Wipe system has no effect on ban waves.

Else games that never wiped, would never be able to ban anyone.

They just, don't do a great job.

[vivid dawn]

It has cause if you do not implement any changes to counter cheating and just ban em they just keep cheating with the same cheats

[autumn estuary]

They update between wipes bruh.

[vivid dawn]

but nothing majour

Just small tidbits

[autumn estuary]

Yeah, that's a concious decision.

[vivid dawn]

Which is dumb.

[autumn estuary]

But the kind of changes needed to prevent cheats aren't major.

I get why they do it, they want to see how the game runs from "fresh" with the new changes.

[vivid dawn]

Yeah sure thats why someone with API access can scan your whole account in real time

[soft coral]

https://youtube.com/shorts/o3_qd_xfMAA?si=7CBz2iVdlsd8xIwN

[vivid dawn]

Big red flag but ok

[autumn estuary]

Sorry, I phrased that wrong, the things they need to do are not major gameplay impacts.

It's behind the scenes stuff, so they could do it without wiping and it wouldn't effect the progression.

[vivid dawn]

i even doubt they change anything in the code to prevent cheating otherwise it wouldnt be such a hughe problem

[autumn estuary]

But they just, don't care enough to do so

If they prevented cheaters

they wouldn't get to resell the game to them

[vivid dawn]

Obivously

and with the new upgrade that is bigger and better than EoD people will pay again

[autumn estuary]

I suspect it's more inherent to the fact that their technical team is shit

Preventing cheaters when your game code is a clusterfuck is nigh impossible.

[vivid dawn]

Kernel layer anti cheat

[autumn estuary]

is garbage.

[vivid dawn]

Not if you do it right but then every kind of person is crying cause "mah privacy"

[autumn estuary]

If you did it right your anticheat would work well without kernel access.

[vivid dawn]

Mah privacy BUT i use Social Media,Smart Phones or even Discord

[autumn estuary]

It ain't mah privacy, it's mah you don't need that level of fucking access.

[vivid dawn]

Nah it aint that easy

[autumn estuary]

It ain't that easy to do it wth kernal level.

[vivid dawn]

Since i know a guy coding bots for Warthunder and WoT it really aint that easy

Imagine someone would gain access to Tarkov Servers.

I even wonder why that hasnt happened yet

[autumn estuary]

Pretty sure it has,

[vivid dawn]

I havent seen any false ban wave complaints from thousands of players yet

[autumn estuary]

but the entire thing is that even with kernel layer, you ain't going to be preventing botting and the like.

[vivid dawn]

Botting aint even the issue

Like come on

Botting in Tarkov ?

Dont say you mean AIM botting now

[autumn estuary]

No, my point is just run the game in a sandbox.

now the kernal access does absolutely nothing, but give way more access to legit players PCs than it needs.

[soft coral]

I would jump onto this

[vivid dawn]

I mean did you activate windows ?

[soft coral]

but honestly

I'm too lazy to read

[vivid dawn]

If you activated windows already fucked

I hate that you even have to make an account nowadays for that shit

Your data is literaly everywhere.

[autumn estuary]

bruh,

[vivid dawn]

I simplify it

[autumn estuary]

that has nothing to do with not wanting to hand over full access to my PC to a randomfuck company

Remember when battleeye got hacked? Good memes.

[vivid dawn]

Do you play Helldivers ?

League of Legends

Valorant ?

[autumn estuary]

Fucking lol.

Riot really need to cease existing.

[vivid dawn]

I agree

[autumn estuary]

And as you seem to be going on a binge, I do play several games with kernal access anticheat, I don't like it and it does fuckall to prevent cheating in those games.

[vivid dawn]

Cause someone is always smarter.But it does a good job for the mass dumbfuck cheats

[autumn estuary]

There are ways to prevent cheating in games, but generally, actually doing long term security projects ain't worth.

[vivid dawn]

If i could code i wouldnt share my cheats anywhere

Best way not to get detected

[vivid dawn]

Yeah cause it aint worth investing + they get money from ban waves

we established that in the beginning

[autumn estuary]

So they'd rather just, do some really simple shit with large implications they don't care about that'll help them cut out the absolute monkey level cheaters.

[vivid dawn]

I guess its a common known fact.

[autumn estuary]

who you could just ban with like, any kind of statistical analysis

[soft coral]

The Binding of Isaac

[vivid dawn]

Binding of isaac has an anti cheat ?

I could imagine that even that they got smart stuff build in that would recognise if you cheat and make the mom boss invincible or something

Or if its a non legal copy

[soft coral]

its a singleplayer game

[vivid dawn]

Even PS1 games could do shit like that even effictively via some RNG checks and if the game was cracked it was unplayable cause it crashed or didnt give you an item that you needed and even shamed you xD

[vivid dawn]

Still theres crazy cases of that kind

[soft coral]

and it has mods

[autumn estuary]

One of the better "Subtle" ways to do it is combining statistical analysis and matchmaking to just, push those that have questionable stats into the same lobbies.

[soft coral]

serious sam has an anti piracy thing

[vivid dawn]

CoD did that

Cheaters complaining about cheater lobbies lol

[autumn estuary]

then you combo that with the more serious combing and analysis that results in the ban waves.

[uncut coral]

cheating is a massive problem in just about every competitive shooter atm

[autumn estuary]

and you get... a game with a few, but not too problematic cheating

[vivid dawn]

Apex had that massive breach lol

[uncut coral]

it's just more visible in eft because rmt exists

and chumps who buy stuff with real money

[vivid dawn]

Except for vaccuum cheaters

those will persist

[autumn estuary]

I think they'd actually be fairly easy to pick up through statistic analysis

[vivid dawn]

rubles in items picked up or some shit

true

[autumn estuary]

you can run systems to track players where they move in missions

so if you see someone getting absurds amount of shit without actually hitting anywhere of value, that's probably a vacuum

[vivid dawn]

They wanna do that for the PMC Karma.Nikita said if you sit in a bush for to long it will give negative karma

[autumn estuary]

that's kinda dumb.

[vivid dawn]

They wanna combat extract camping with that

It wont work.

[uncut coral]

there are so many potential statistics/actions to be analyzed to prevent most of the gamebreaking shit going on

[autumn estuary]

Yup

That's why it's fucking expensive to do

and why they just don't

Or in the case of some of them, throw around shit like kernal level anticheat with the expectation of it helping a little for minimal cost

[uncut coral]

maybe start by protecting the values which should be strictly server sided any way

[autumn estuary]

keeping as much serverside as possible is a good practice

although it does magnify the impact of latency

[uncut coral]

yes, but rather have that, than flying cheats/speedhacks

[autumn estuary]

Yeah, same. but it's worth putting out there that there is a drawback.

[uncut coral]

game is fucked either way, so many closet cheaters.. even a mate I used to pvp with was cheating for a long time without telling us

[autumn estuary]

still shocked no one has done a fortnite on tarkov yet.

Gone "I can do that" > make same game but better in every way

[uncut coral]

he said that once you see the game 1 time with ESP, you can't go back any more

since you see how many others are cheating too

[autumn estuary]

I just... barely play live these days. I hop on a little each wipe to have a nose at the new stuff.

[uncut coral]

waiting 4 that day

seen many of the early-access clones come and go

none of them come close to the atmosphere

shame

it was a great game

[autumn estuary]

A classic example of good idea, needs a bigger & better team to actually carry it out though.

[earnest timber]

minecraft cave ambience

i did not kill them

its how i found them

[wintry ridge]

[wanton yarrow]

got the streamer mask off a dead lad on streets

lets see if its actually good

[earnest timber]

i cast m855a1 towards your mask

[wanton yarrow]

bastard

[earnest timber]

USEC 3: "Bastard!"

[rough sphinx]

Not the one who's responsible for that massacre makes it more scary tbh.

[sterile quiver]

Whoopsie daisy

[edgy juniper]

Reminds me of this I saw like a few weeks ago 💀

[terse pecan]

i once encountered this kind of thing

5 dead

one survived

i killed that guy

and i enjoyed the loot

i think the whole server was wiped there

[brittle sinew]

I wear it, it's very good

[untold harness]

I dont like the new semi snow stuff

I think it looks really ugly

[brittle sinew]

I like it

It's a good transition between winter and spring

[wintry ridge]

show pics

[pseudo storm]

https://tenor.com/view/sospechoso-suspizcaz-chicken-judging-you-gif-17495234

[stark torrent]

Ita good because they kept the visibility which makes it nice

[wintry ridge]

this is pretty good

almost like a tundra

[sterile quiver]

I dig it

But I also liked the winter a lot

After they lowered the snow crunching sound, at least

[wintry ridge]

tbh i like this mix more

not a ton of snow crunching and the uhh

visual clarity is alot better than all green or all white

[sterile quiver]

yea

[wintry ridge]

are the bushes and trees also kinda dead like they were with snow?

so campers are easier to spot

[sterile quiver]

Customs setup rats

I got hard stuck on that, never completed it by the time my squads quit for the wipe

I heard they changed woods a little bit too

[soft coral]

https://youtube.com/shorts/on-_OjIfL-c?si=XqUwQeIaIl8rnkrK

Is this guy a cheater?

[fallow spoke]

13 achievements with 2k hours

Crazy kda and surv rate

Rep for suspicious if he is not nothing happens

Also uhh can you do duo offline raid?

[sterile quiver]

Probably just cracked out of his mind

[fallow spoke]

Im trying to get my friend into tarkov

[fallow spoke]

Probably a streamer acc or some shit

Sniper only playtrough

[sterile quiver]

yep, its a paid feature though

[fallow spoke]

Fucking what

[sterile quiver]

yea

I know

[fallow spoke]

How much is it

How do you get it

[sterile quiver]

Last I was aware it was an EOD thing

[wintry ridge]

eod only

[fallow spoke]

Fuck

[sterile quiver]

then they got rid of that

[fallow spoke]

My life

[wintry ridge]

im sure they're selling it

[wintry ridge]

yeah

10$

[soft coral]

Tells you all u need to know

Brother doesn't play the game

he sits in a bush and that's it

[sterile quiver]

Nasty

idk if the conditions for unlocking those guns has changed

[sterile quiver]

No

[soft coral]

one of em's a job the others a mental sickness

[sterile quiver]

so true

[stark torrent]

LoL

[stark torrent]

yeah id say so

could be a very no lifer but in today's tarkov id go with cheater

safer bet

[sterile quiver]

I knew it was over the moment I heard the Knight voice line

[soft coral]

bro got killed by god himself

smited

yes

[sterile quiver]

I really don't like watching Tarkov content regardless of if I'm in a Tarkov phase or not, yet it just stuffs it in my face all the time

[winged mica]

Does Knight and all the USEC boss spawn randomly?

Or there is an indication that they spawned

[sterile quiver]

They rotate around a couple maps afaik

If they're on Shoreline for example they will not spawn on Woods, Customs or Lighthouse

Then they'll move to another map after some time

I believe there's a website where they track them

Compared to killing bosses? Yeah it's low asf

Holy shit the door has crazy loot

Found 3 marked keys

314, BK and VO

[open shore]

i miss that bug when people used to spawn as sniper scav

[compact knoll]

Honestly spawning as sniper scav

Would be cool

If you got like random items for every kill

Kinda like with the pmc scav extract

[brittle sinew]

Tried arena

Never playing that shit again

[vivid dawn]

I liked it

But after time you notice how tedious and bad it is

And it gets worse and worse

[rich venture]

Arena's simply mediocre

NEVER MIND I LOVE TARKOV!!!!

[stark torrent]

yep its exactly as i expected, it was cool at first , somethign new

but it gets boring and when you see how shit the progression is

nah

you dont feel like spending that time

and now its hard to find games i heard

then you have the kit imbalance , matchmaking imbalance , it can get fun so much until you get tired of the same 3 kits because the rest suck balls

[brittle sinew]

It's the settings and map layout for me

It sucks

And I'm stuck with shit presets

[vivid dawn]

Your stuck with shit presets until you unlocked half of the presets in the game

And they even made it more annoying unlocking them

[brittle sinew]

Why can't I just use the shit I want and then get matched with a gear score?

Like crossout did

[vivid dawn]

probably coming when they combine it with normal tarkov

[lyric cairn]

Helldivers gets new content every week. There's some bugs but, they usually fix those pretty quickly and I can forgive them for the amount of stuff they're putting in the game since launch, and it's still getting more and more stable.

Tarkov hits you with hAnDs ArE bUsY and LeThAl DaMaGe tO aRmPit

[winged mica]

Tbh Tarkov is the game where you die from losing a toe

[lyric cairn]

Hit em with the ol' toe tapper

[winged mica]

Tarkov is the only game I can think of that it is sometimes faster to kill someone by shooting leg than head

[lone talon]

How do yall get out of the hobo phase in tarkov?

Ive been through 30 raids yet im barely level 5

[lyric cairn]

Questing is the easily the best way to play Tarkov.

If you really really need money, it can be somewhat prudent to take a poverty kit into factory but at this stage of wipe, that might not be the best idea.

Either that or naked into Woods and try to loot what you can.

[lone talon]

Yes this is my first wipe however😅

So im just trying to find the red med kits for that woman

[lyric cairn]

Shortage for Therapist?

[lone talon]

But none are to be found on ground zero so its pretty hard

[livid bluff]

Scav on streets, theres stores that spawn med items

[lone talon]

I dont know the quest names in English

[lone talon]

I heard streets kills your computer, is it true?

[lyric cairn]

That's okay. So you did the first doctor lady quest on Ground Zero?

[livid bluff]

never heard anything about killing your computer but I heard about performance issues on that map

[lone talon]

I believe so if there was a task before that

[lyric cairn]

Killing? No. Significant issues on medium and low power computers? Yes.

[lone talon]

Ok so for 5800x3d it will be ok?

[lyric cairn]

What's your GPU?

[lone talon]

6800 no xt

Im just in 1080p but i only get 70 fps on GZ so idk about streets how it would run

[lyric cairn]

You should be okay. It will still perform much worse than all other maps.

Turn down your textures when you go to that map.

[lone talon]

Alright thanks bro

Are there maps online i could look up for the map aswell?

[lyric cairn]

Oh yeah. DM me, I have an idea.

[livid bluff]

I think the Ground Zero level queue is broken, I got merked by level 8 but I'm level 29 lol

[lyric cairn]

I thought you couldn't go into ground zero if you're over level 20

Oh, that's what you're saying

[livid bluff]

BSG updated to where people 20+ get their own queue

[lyric cairn]

Oh I didn't know that. Cool idea but I'm sure they fucked it up, RESPECTFULLY

[livid bluff]

BSG manages to find a way to fuck something up one way or another

[stark torrent]

either he has a higher lvl teammate around that died or whatever

or if there are not many players in the high queue it will put you in the other queue

i've seen ppl wait even 8 minutes to load on that map

just to die 3 feet off spawn because it has rly bad ones

[brittle sinew]

Not really a reason to go there

No quests no loot and bad pvp

[nocturne turret]

they must be new or something

or maybe they had a 3rd mate

idk

[nocturne turret]

little goon team

[near dome]

y'all got any good vids for easy scav runs to cash in on as a new player? factory is lacking sadly

[dapper bluff]

yooo what stalker addon is this, i wanna try it out

[edgy juniper]

Woods and customs

Customs is a bit more contested then woods

But woods is alot more walking inbetween looting spots

[upper crescent]

If you need weapons, there's the basement parking lot in Interchange, lots of weapon crates

[compact knoll]

you can do reserve and loot cabinets,
interchange and loot tech stores, med stores, and oli
lighthouse checking loot spots and then going to the rogues

[stark torrent]

factory is to lose money lul

[near dome]

yea i was talking ab scav runs

i need a good vid where someone shows a run where you can actually make phat stacks of $$$

or rather ₽₽₽

[vivid dawn]

Since loot is random there isnt like "a good run" strat. Also as Scav you spawn into a map that has already partialy looted.So yeah try Customs and Woods.

[stark torrent]

streets

streets and woods ez loot

[upper crescent]

Just stay alive as PMC or scav and you will get money

[wintry wasp]

the new expansion area on shoreline is full of shit, if you manage to spawn near this new camp thing chances are very high nobody has been there

[edgy juniper]

go woods and collect the stashes , look a map online itll show everything

depending on my spawn i either check stashes or check buildings

(north buildings and south stashes)

[brittle sinew]

We on some evil shit

[brittle sinew]

Go streets, loot Lexos

Not even a meme, there's really good loot there

And if you're good at voip, you can even get loot from other people (Lying, bullying, stealing, gaslighting & tricks)

[brittle sinew]

As a scav of course

[soft coral]

dont let stank rat see this one

[brittle sinew]

I know a nice in that area, behind the pallets in between the containers

When you're crouched, you're invisible

Very good for hiding and ambushing

[soft coral]

I know a nice place

Not playing this game

when you get to the spot

youre literally invis

[brittle sinew]

Keep seething ivan 😉

its fun

so

I will

[brittle sinew]

Actually rent free

[soft coral]

actually dont care

will still do it

[earnest timber]

Tarkov lives rent free in your head

[brittle sinew]

The game is living rent free in your head bro

Let it go

We don't care about what you say, we will still play the game

[soft coral]

thats fine

I dont mind

[brittle sinew]

Ivan you are lying

[edgy juniper]

he probably invented that spot tbh

i dont watch stank rat but i see his tiktoks sometiems

and hes always in the most wierd spot ever

[soft coral]

bro will be on the moon

sniping pmcs on customs

and go "1 tap"

[brittle sinew]

I watch his videos sometimes, they are very boring most of the time

Because camping is boring most of the time

[edgy juniper]

the only time ive seen him one tap is when hes using a grenade

[rich venture]

Most videos from tarkov YouTubers are boring

They have zero personality

[near dome]

could you teach me the tricks of the trade?

[edgy juniper]

I genuinely cannot watch anyone good at tarkov

It's just not entertaining

[brittle sinew]

Actually so real

Finally someone here spat facts

[brittle sinew]

A classic (works mostly on newer or clueless people) is to shoot near them so they can shoot and hit you first, making them the bad guy

Free rep and free loot

Another is saying you have a daily quest to find a certain item, or just a quest (I got 2 free labs cards in a raid from saying I had the Fishing Place quest)

Stealing is obvious. if someone is doing a trade just steal what they throw down, what are they supposed to do? shoot a fellow scav and lose rep?

[gray compass]

most people would shoot you lol

[brittle sinew]

Win win?

They shoot first I win the fight, I win rep and even more loot

And if you get shot it's because you're a dolt who lingers around their own crime scene for too long

Grab and go

You have about 5 seconds to gtfo when you steal from a trade because they'll be confused as to who got the item

[soft coral]

Like a classic gypsy

[gray compass]

eh it is what it is , at least on US there are many paid actors

EU is infested with gamers

[vivid dawn]

And gaming chairs

[brittle sinew]

That's why I dont play EU, too many sweats and gamer chairs

US people are nicer too

Sometimes they actually use voip, its crazy I know

[stark torrent]

well they use it because if they think they are on US everyone speaks english and not moon runes , or chinese or that random spanish guy that queued EU east for some reason

[brittle sinew]

Tarkov got me to learn basic phrase because r*ssian people refuse to learn english

[brittle sinew]

The chinese people are the best, always gets me wondering wtf they're doing so far away

[frozen olive]

My friends told me Colombia is clean

[compact knoll]

colombia aint eu

[frozen olive]

Yeah as in, that server woirks and they're playing from EU

and it's also ghost town

[brittle sinew]

Might just swap to Colombia servers so I can get Sanitar & Cultists without the hassle

[signal dune]

I killed 1 scav found a moonshine and left

I can't be running an amxc with a flir man I'm fundamentally not suited to this

It's like taking a deep sea bottom feeder and putting it in a beautiful aquarium, it just explodes from the pressure

I should be on factory with a busted akm fighting player scavs for scraps of tushonka

Jokes aside I do think I genuinely play worse with a thermal because I spend too much time scanning and lose situational awareness

[untold harness]

That flir is really bad for sniping tbh

Use the armasight one if you can

You dont need a high power scope when you can only see like 500 meters

[signal dune]

I don't think I've ever seen the armasight one

[stark torrent]

It's ok and Zeus is quest locked behind a hard one and it's a ledx barter

● Added new PMC outfits available both for purchase on the website and as rewards for completing the new quests.

the true update

@soft coral ● Adjusted the volume of container searching, equipment, weapon switching, as well as crouched movement with minimum speed;

i think this might be top 10 fixes they did

crouch walking no longer silent, looting no longer break my eardrums and lets everyone know which cabinet im looting

only took them 8 years

[signal dune]

Oh nice

[wintry ridge]

idk i liked silent crouch walking

it got rid of mfs holding the corners for 20 minutes waiting for the other dude to make a move

since you could just 1 speed and crab away

and flank or disengage without being punished for not afking at max volume

[signal dune]

no more packet loss indicator for bosses

[stark torrent]

Well of they done it right ( prob not ) it should still be silent unless he is in your nose

Like if you are 15 m+ it should still be silent

[wintry ridge]

[edgy juniper]

If black Lynx isn't a part of the new PMC outfits

I'll snap

Also why are cabinets SO LOUD

Istg I'm looting a cabinet and cannot hear anything else

[soft coral]

only?

[frosty basalt]

●added the btr to factory

Did y’all miss that change or what

Surprised more people aren’t talking about it

[stark torrent]

What i dont understand is why it takes them 4-5 hrs for such a basic patch

I swear they have to repack the game everytime lol

nice efficiency

[edgy juniper]

Is this not a new outfit?

It's just a recolor but hey

It's effort!

These the new bear outfits

Yeah USEC got screwed over with these outfits

[frozen olive]

Clownsec

[edgy juniper]

USEC def has the worser options for irl money

[rich venture]

Both of them do tbf

[wintry ridge]

that jacket is sick

[frozen olive]

Cyclone?

Yeah

[wintry ridge]

true that, cat

the pants are just the same as other bear pants

kinda muddy orange

[frozen olive]

Classic and Cyclone good combo probs

Classic already looks Classy

for USUC only Night Patrol and Urban responder looks decent

Vanguard pants maybe

[wintry ridge]

vanguard pants are kinda classy

maybe with urban responder hoodie

better match than the black pants

vanguard shirt is just bad

sleeves too high and the camo is kinda ugly

it'd be fine if it was untucked tho

[edgy juniper]

It's a reskin but it looks REALLY nice in black

It's legit the same thing as this but in black

I came up with a shitty idea

Female link

[wintry ridge]

would you rather buy guns and armor??

tbh star citizen does that shit and it isnt a huge issue...

maybe give people some cool aesthetic armor for cash

tier 2 tactical vest

[vivid dawn]

I would rather have no msx in a game that has such a fucking big pricetag

[wintry ridge]

45$

huge..

[vivid dawn]

You forgot taxes

[wintry ridge]

i dont pay my taxes

[vivid dawn]

But yeah weapons or armor that you get back after x time would be neat to buy as mtx

[wintry ridge]

not even weapons

i jsut want cool armor that doesn't have good stats that I can run over and over again as filler

instead of doing hatchet runs

idc if its level 2 and cant be sold

[vivid dawn]

Tarkov charges you taxes ON TOP of your purchase so you have to

[wintry ridge]

sorry, let me rephrase, instead of running with a paca and a glock and an empty inventory on factory

[vivid dawn]

EoD had like 25€ taxes on top of its massive price tag

[vivid dawn]

Hey i would prefer anything except clothes with a price tag which i can buy the real clothes with

[wintry ridge]

tbh i just want more uhh

that airsoft helmet

stuff like that

cheap gear that looks cool

tactec without plates is still like 70k

fucked up

[vivid dawn]

Red paca infinite uses unlootable 5€

Shit like that

I would get behind that stuff

But not those copy paste clothes that are obviously a cash grab

Il say it straight.Only an idiot would buy that.....

[wintry ridge]

idk this just seems pay 2 win

early wipe atleast

paying for actual armor just seems like a bad thing

clothes and level 2 armored cosmetics are prolly the max they'll do it

i want that cool chinese ballistic mask but like

level 2

[frozen olive]

Already a thing
