>>430651002Maybe if we give them some vodka and tushunka, stalker gen will let us join.
how rich would nigita become if he introduced microtransactions into the game?
>>430652091I can't imagine this game introducing microtransactions and the playerbase not immediately shrinking to the size of a black holeit goes against the core ethos of the design and considering it's in a shitty state currently people would be pissed off by further monetisation with no positive changes to back that up>cosmetic microtransactions: should've been weapon mods or ragman clothing available in-game>item/money microtransactions: destroys progression
>>430652091Very. EoD is standard
>>430652462Its an online game,there needs to be some recurring revenue so it makes sense to keep it on.Right now is just cheaters buying new accounts
Alright, dawn of the 2nd day. Got to lvl 4 and picked up a junkbox yesterday, and managed to score both croutons for Jaeger. Gonna do some runs on woods to see if I can't find the rest of his quest food and the medkits for the rapist's first quest. Probably gonna keep doing my scav runs on shoreline for easy loots. Kinda went broke yesterday. Decided my pmc is only gonna run the best he can afford this time, even if I have to go broke to do it.
>>430654178I could see it working if it was just like gtao's shark cards. I mean, the only people that'd buy them would be new players, but same for gtao
>>430654182>see if I can'tStopped reading here
I hate the shit quests in this game, I know there's really nothing else to do if you don't do them, but I hate them anyway and I hate having to go outside the game to find out how and where this shit quest has to be done.In fact I find very little enjoyment in this game after opening the flea market but each wipe I try my best to get to that point as quick as possible.Basically just a bad game all round and this "event" is dogshit.
>>430654447Yankee hands typed this post
>>430654869???It's an american thing, like "I could care less"
>>430654969"See if I can" is pretty common, but "See if I can't" is typically more common amongst the southerner's vernacular. It is used to display more confidence, as if it would be a surprise if they couldn't. As in "Im gonna run on down to the piggly-wiggly and see if I can't find a good brisket to throw in the smoker, then over to the courthouse to see if I can talk the judge into letting me keep my license on account of it only being my 4th dui"
"wah wah wah shit event niggita">100% boss spawn rate>everyone just plays the free map>tons of pvp >if you dont want pvp pay and enter an almost empty map and fight bossesyou losers suck and this event is good.
>>430658213I could care less.
>>430658393Yeah? Maybe you're a flambe.
DEADGAME
Y'all gonna make fun of my, but I'm gonna run the lvl1 sniper musket.
>>430661063Nah you're pretty based.
Found me a wallet. Gonna keep it in my prison pocket for v-ex. Are the Keychains a scav drop too? I've been hitting jackets like crazy on my scav runs and starting to build a lil collection of them.
>>430662260It's pretty shit, ngl. But my options for scoped weapons is shit rn, and I feel better playing on woods when i can scope a place out for a min or two and clear it from a distance if needed. Plus .366 is the only suppressor I have access to rn.
>100% bosses over alreadyit lasted for 8 hours. wtf
>>430662495The Gingy keychain? I guess so. I've spawn with two of them so far this event.
first tags of the wipe. Poor feller was looting his own kill and my scav just popped him in the head. Shame too cuz we were by the co-op extract. Shoulda voiped out to him to see if he was down for it.
>>430665746funny on streetsnigger wearing UBEY and defender, bounces a grenade off my window, wallbangs my friend and then wallbangs my leg through a door and a concrete pillar
>>430652091I think he hates just hates moneyImagine how many yoga pant wearing thots there would be running around if we could buy them?
>>430654471Im not bothered about most quests, its just shit like Punisher 6"Use this expensive and shit gun you never use and always die with to get 15 pmc kills"is really soul crushing and repetitive. It makes the "plant item in hot location" look like tons of fun in comparison.
>>430660693I bet you're the one that keeps making the thread every time it dies aren't you ?>>430658213100% bosses are okpaying 200k to get into a game is not
>>430671292I like the item planting ones. Especially the ones where you have to get said item from a different location. Some high stakes raids right there. Gets the blood pumpin
>>430605725ok so this thing is slightly more usable during moonlight hoursthe scope is still shit though, far too long distance to use on woods
>>430655816>It is used to display more confidenceThat's a cope, it's a retardation like "airplane"
>>430665746>first tags of the wipe.huh
has anyone seen landmark get killed by a pmc ?
>>430672639If you're shooting from mountain it kinda works
>>430673405Yeah I watched his stream instead of his youtube onceAny death has his fans call hacks ofc
>>430655816partner i'll have you know that was only my 3rd DUI and that scav was jaywalking when i hit him
Getting real tired of getting 1 tapped by random bushes
lmao this fat fuck really thinking of dropping the wipe within a week of d4 release by the looks of it, he's completely out of his mind, half the tarkov playerbase are arpg addicts
>>430652091Most people playing this game buy for power, so i think he could easily double the income.
>>430678292doubt
>all the tarkov ecelebs are doomposting about the game being le dead while continuing to play it 24/7 anywayJust fucking wipe already so those faggots shut up.
>>430678292Miss me with that gay shit, nigga. Hmu when champions of norath gets a reboot.

bad news guys, im shit
>>430691157>those dirty handwrapslol are you just tk'ing scavs?
>>430692761that's clearly a PMC
Lmao how bad was the backlash against the event? I'm glad it's over too, it was ass, but it's funny how quickly it ended
>>430695321events don't last that long anymore, but yes it was pretty dumb
>tfw limping to outskirts on 2 blacked legs and heavy bleeding cuz the sun set and I couldn't see the minefields signs.[/spoiler]I didn't make it, but milked as much xp as I could while trying
alright, lvl 6 and got the machine key. Time to go grab that pocket watch
>>430687236indeed,she probably got way more dopamine hit from your loot than you did
>>430704527>pocket watch acquired raid highlight
>>430712167Back to woods now... I feel so meh about that map. Great place to go shopping, but pvp is always either I'm stalking someone or I'm being stalked, and the stalkee normally has no idea.
>>430716471Thinking I might just run an m9 suppressed and just try getting the drop on people and grab scav's weapons
>>430716471there's been so many of these guys I've been tracking on woods only to then lose them because there was never an opportunity to shoot them
get real
Dead. Game.
>>430691157>>430712167feel like im starting to get the hang of it again
>>430727451I ran out of good ammo tho. Back to mossin and a gratch, I guess. Woods just isn't working out for me today. Maybe if I tried shorter runs? Idk, but I'm broke rn so I'm running shoreline to get some monies from safes and caches. Hit lvl 7 tho, so still making progress towards that, and I 3k exp from a average shoreline run, so this might just be the more productive thing to do.
>>430729213I LIED!!! Got one of my woods missions done, the free compass one. This bean counter blacked my arm, but Ill trade a cms charge for a svds anyday
>>430732492>doesn't even bring backup mags madlad
>>430735208It's one of those things where if I need them, then things have probably gone south enough to where they won't make a difference.
I might just become a pistol main. The sight picture on the m9 is gorgeous and super easy to pop off head comma eyes real quick. I fucking hate the glocks though. Only reason I was using that one was because I found it and it was in good condition.
>spend 20 minutes looting>run into a room where a pscav is creeping>he turns around and shoots methis is why i fucking gave up actually scavving past 1 mil
>>430737817I've not been this mad in a few daysits so fucking unjust these fucking cunts can just kill me for my hard workand if i fucking defend myself i get penalized(hurr durr skill issue, i should have killed him in between his shots which was about 0.2 milliseconds apart)
just fucking can't learnYOUR NOT SUPPOSE TO FUCKING KILL SCAVS AS A SCAVi just need to fucking avoid scavs as much as possibleas soon as i saw the fucking cunt i should have ran out the roombut no, i fucking thought i could help him against a pmc if he thought one was in the areaBUT FUCKING NO HE KILLS ME AND I COMPLETLY FUCKING WASTED 20 FUCKING MINUTES OF MY FUCKING LIFEAARRRRRRRRRRRRR
>>430738162>>430737989>>430737817This group was right on my ass for the last bit of the raid. I didn't have ears so they scared the crap out of me everytime I saw them. Traded one some alkaline for his vodka tho, so im a happy stalker

Anyone else look over their old collected dogtags and reminisce over those kills? Or am I just weird
>>430743049No because I can't remember my games from yesterday nevermind 4 months ago
These Iskra rations continue to elude me. Still missing 2 and they just won't spawn for me. Why does Jaeger have to be such a hungry boy. 7 food items is a bit much.
>>430745649some of the square black weapon boxes have a 100% iskra ration.
>>430747118Yeah I just saw something about that, but the one I saw was for interchange and I'm kinda iffy there, so ima check all the ones in woods, I thinks there's 4 or 5

Good day to play my Scav.
>>430783635That didn't help, but Tarkov is killing itself just fine
>>430759664what games does your dad play?
>>430783635Isn't this just the usual late wipe stage
>Dawn of the 3rd dayWas just 1.3k exp shy of level 8 yesterday. Got quite the shopping list for my scav today. Need 1 Iskra rations still, meds supplies and food to trade the rapist for quest keys. My PMC is gonna be working on his shootout picnic quest. Level 15 cannot come quick enough. Might just clear through to me extraction asap, then extract camp pscavs.
Tarkov will never leave beta testing because then Nikita would be legally required to refund people.
Damn, the free scrub supplies from prapor have gotten a lot better.
>>430738162>I COMPLETLY FUCKING WASTED 20 FUCKING MINUTES OF MY FUCKING LIFEYou were under the impression that Tarkov was a game that respected your time as a human being?
did scav to warm up, and made it out with 9 kills on my first pmc run. just 6 more for the quest.
>>430797482raid highlight
>>430718254>>430727451>>430732492Hey don't post Soul in here, this place is only for complaining
Is interchange super scary to anyone else or am I just a bitch?
>>430799715It kinda is, it's so stupid easy to destroy even the chaddiest of chads if you just hide in many of its dark spots, no single person, not even a squad can be expected to check them all, extracting is usually the worst part, but it's not like the map has any good loot anyways so just don't bring a backpack, do your quests and get out using the comfy wall extract, you'll get used to it if you play it often enough thanks to exposure therapy
>>430783635probably just late wipeim also getting bored of sitting in a corner for 40 minutes and not hearing a single person in the game each timetfw still need another 10 kills on interchang
What kind of stuff can I sell to traders (other than gear) pre flea? Like the stuff thats got a negligible price dif between the flea and traders? I remember a lot of the Intel type items, like ssd and diary being good, but what else?
>>430804526Kappa items, AFAKs, AP ammo if you don't play on using it yourself ofc, can't sell a lot of that on flea anyways, I always sell the 545 and Blackout ones, some of the golden items you find in safes or under the beds, a lot of keys are almost the same as their flea prices like Kiba inner gate key which is 100k to the rapist, defibrilators, a lot of the injectors especially the common ones like morphine or adrenaline, those are the ones that come to mind right away
>>430804526most tools, some tech items, most canned food, all streamer items
what better way to start the day than lose 500k in 5 secondsthen spending another 10 minutes gearing up again and
>>430799715If you somehow actually make it to the building then you have the interior and all 40000 hiding spots

lmao don't even need BP for the VSS, SP6 just drops class 6 in an instant.t. just dropped two class 6, Mjolnir enjoyers
Looks like I can finally take a break from woods for a bit. Now I've got to go for dorms tho. The rapist is a thirsty gal. I've given up on finding my last iskra ration. Jaeger will get it when he gets it.
I gotta stop paying to insure armor. Getting a piece back just to repair it is kinda like why
>>430825418you insure armor because if you get heads'd then your armor is untouched (unless it gets stolen)and you can sell it to fence or fagman for a small dime back (basically the insurance you paid)
>>430825418i still insure my korundssometimes they come back full hp and the ones that are zero'd or have been repaired one too many times get traded up for a defender
>>430824124Dorms is kicking my ass. I might have to putz around the map for 15mins or so then go over and clear out the scavs that are picking through it.
>>430828441think this might be the best i can do in the situation, gear wise. I have ps rounds I found in the sks
This wall is starting to be an issue...
>>430829492use shotguns in dorms as a low level peasant
>>430830760what wall ?
>>430835103The defective one. Need a sledgehammer and the one time I found one was on a scav with a small backpack.
>>430835301oh yeahI keep coming across them on streets there's 3 technical supply crates at the abandoned warehouse and one at the car dealership.there's probably some at construction toobut abandoned warehouse is best as you get 3 chances each time, plus other goodies like fuel other expensive tools etc.
>>430835985>>430835301best trying to get items as a scav as there's loads of scavs in these areasand once you find it you can just dash to the exit which is real close by
Alright, Aquarius part 1 done. Time to murder a bunch of scavs on customs now. Should be easy enough unless I run into anyone intent on full-auto'ing me with ammo that 1 taps my lvl 3 armor. Shame there's hardly any loots on customs.
>>430836305I was thinking about the village in shorine. There's tons of loose tool spawns there, think it's where I found the first one.
>damage dealt to armor: 352AHHH I JUST NEED TO AIM A LITTLE UP AND THAT PMC WOULD HAVE BEEN DEAD WHY DID I AIM BUCKSHOT TO CHEST
>>430838386I know that feelso I only use semi auto and let the recoil walk it up to a headshot
>>430835301it's a shame it's not a weapon you could equip
>>430799296you think that I wasn't complaining about the fog?
do you get to keep presets after a wipe ?
>>430840164no
>>430841228sigh
>>430837402lets fucking go. Great round for me. Got jumped by 2 pscavs crossing from the traintracks to the fence by the old gas station. Was at an awkward range for the shotgun and no cover :/ still pretty happy with the round
>>430844407whoops
I feel like there is some kind of matchmaking hereI never come across timmies on my 56 pmcbut my 19 scav always gets into timmy town servers
>>430844589god i love the shotgun
>>430847626the whole point of a shotgun is to frantically magdump a potential chad with 8 rounds of high damage ammoits the only way timmies can compete everything else is just a pea shooter
>>430847626sks is alright too, I surprised myself with that 2nd shot.
>>430847864this is the closet i get to mag dump. Also, when did scavs start using grenades?
The pipeline from usec to tranny is real
>>430849176That's just a usec psyop to make dogtag missions easier.
I wouldn't mind challenging folks as a scavbut spawning in with at least 200k worth of stuff every time is quite off putting>>430849176its only a matter of time before nicky adds females but only for USEC faction
>>430850234I barely break 200k on my pmc
>>430850386benefits of intel 3 and being a good scav I guessI spawn in with a labs card 90% of the time
Yeah of course the one time i spawn in with nothing and get into a situation i could have easily killed the timmy... i only get a broken sniper
FINALLY got my last Iskra ration for Jaeger. Time for all the wacky kill missions now. Also got a pot to shit in now, so I can start mass producing scav backpacks. Good stuff. Gonna go to woods with an gornasty now and see if I can't knock out both the unarmored and the 40m+ bolt action w/ irons kill missions.

>>430914331Based real game enjoyer.
I'm a big fan of death in tarkov. It probably my favorite thing about the game. It's got such a finality aspect to it do to the nature of the game. It's those moments when you know someone is around a corner, and they know you're around it as well. Neither player wants to die, but nature has decided that one will. You're both safe around your sides of the corner, but to only way to ensure your safety is to pop that corner, exposing yourself, and kill them. Moments like those are where warriors are born. The defining characteristic of a warrior is not one's ability to finish a fight, but one's willingness to close the distance with the enemy.I love how it looks too, when you kill someone. One second they're trying their hardest to kill you, the next they're folded over on the ground collapsed under their own weight after the cns has stopped functioning. The moment of death is so short, but still very dramatic. Affording my kill a measure of sympathy is just natural for me, especially when I ganked them. Just because someone doesn't see me doesn't mean they wouldn't do the same in my shoes just to make the map that much safer for themselves. Sorry, I know this was the most dead a raid has been for you, so you figured you might as well check that gun case, and next thing you know you're looking at a death screen. That's just how life & death in the zone is.

>>430918021>to it do to the nature of the gameFuck me, that's what I get for posting while doing a lil wake and bake.
>>430927094Damn, that's such a huge deal when minor grammatical mistakes happenNot just a leftover instinctive human TERROR of being rejected or ostracized from a group setting or anything
>>430928079Lol, idaf about all the minor ones, but "do" instead of "due" made me go "bruh"I have a bad habit of phoneposting while taking smoke breaks, and not proofreading my shit. My auto correct does whatever the fuck it wants. Not so much that the reader needs a lot more effort to pick up what I'm putting down. It is distracting though, and bugs me when I'm making a more genuine post.So, while the communication is still effective, the rhetoric isn't as effective as it could be(if that makes sense)Guess that's what I get for not wanting to switch over to CDMA so I'm stuck with shit phones. IDK why someone would use 5G, 4G was already bad enough.

>>430939076Buy buying my mayo off of the flea. I sell all my good food and eat sardines and water and shit I grab on my scav runs. I also keep sodas and stuff. I keep one in my secure container with the rest of my emergency supplies.
>>430939667funnily enough mayo is one of the cheapest food stuff for some reason its always about 10k whilst tushonkas and shit are about 20k

Dead doesn't even begin to describe the state of this game.7 whole years of beta access with premium pay2win options and all you get is silly events and braindead tiktoks.But what really killed this game? The russian war? The wiggle incident? The 6 years of drama, lies and community purges?

>Dawn of the Fifth Day Alright, hit level 13 yesterday. I should have the flea unlocked today, then I can work on mechanic & ragman 2. I'm still about 5k shy of PK 2, but all his level 1 shit sucks. Been selling a bunch of stuff to him, but might have to do a few loot runs and just currency exchange what I'm missing.At the point where I have a lot of quests, but they'd be a hell of a lot easier once I unlock the flea. I'm pretty excited for having reliable access to mosin and the stinky scopes.
Fucking make the G28 cheaper, 300k is way too much when alternatives are much cheaper.
>>431049360Just don't die?
>>431049360H&K issue>Oh Wehe, you do not like our markup! But is Deutsche engineering!
>>431053387Now that you mention it, it does make sense.
>>431047180Banning a bunch of people who will just buy another copy doesn't do shit to shrink the number of cheaters. It's an issue that needs to be tackled at the software level. Cheating needs to be prevented, not just discouraged.
>>431053387
>>431038793What killed the game?The wiggle video.Everyone knew cheaters were everywhere but seeing is believing. It broke the camel back and people who were okay to bad with the game got their gratification.The game becomes pointless when you can't improve consistently from your mistakes.Top to that the P2W system didn't help. BSG has no vision of how the game is supposed to look as an end product, and they can't even deliver the fundamentals of the FPS game after 7 years. Most normal people saw through the bullshit and quit after a while when they saw net code and audio didn't work (and more).
>>431056165There is no p2w in this game

>implying I didn't bought EoD back in 2017 purely for the pay2win aspect of it and instead because I wanted to help fund this vatnik abandonware scam
>>431059084You paid over 100 dollars or more for a game that barely functions and won't release the way you think it'll release.
>>431061215>implying it will ever releaselollmao

>>431061148>poorfag also happens to be an ESLTruly shocking.
>>431061404AHAHAHAHHAAnd what next? The standard edition is just a demo? The EoD is the full game? The desync, lag and the never ending list of game breaking bugs is a feature?
>>431061912If the game has not released yet, then how are people playing it right now?
>schizo>poorfag>malding>eslHow to detected the vatnik bot that lurks here since early 2017You don't even play the game you fucking maggot
>implying a 2016 beta access ruski abandonware is a full releaseDamn you're desperate today
I spend more on a dinner than I have on EoD, and have gotten way more value out of EoD than I have any particular food. You'd have to be making less than $500/month to not have the disposable income. Not that anyone could live off of $250 for basic needs, but not having EoD means your obviously either turbopoor, a filthy fucking hacker who doesn't buy eod because he gets banned, or just ironic shitposting. Either way, your opinion doesn't fucking matter.
You know Tarkov is truly an exceptional game if it can break a man to the point where he can't stop thinking about it every waking second of his life despite having IQ too low to be able to ever play it
>>431063886i think it is sensible to complain about some of the eod features because in a competitive shooter game the advantage should not come from paying, then again the advantages are so minimal because any skilled shot can negate them through head eyes.Trader level however is scummy because it has nothing to do with competition or inraid shit, it's just nikita increasing his rubel stash.That being said, I bought EOD so i can hide all the propitals in my prison pocket.
>>431038793>>431047593>>431061148>>431062078shitter
>>431062007Your tactics of saying something retarded and pretending it has merit doesn't work. Dumbass.

>>431061215>won't release the way you think it'll release.I bought the game for what I saw and have enjoyed thatIf you bought any game based on any promise for future development you are mentally retarded
Why cant tarkov being shit bloc abandonware with *minor* p2w feature, and it still being a fun game(so a good game) also be true?
>>431062250>>431066982>he thinks 'early access' means fucking anything at all in the modern eraSubnautica released as a buggy piece of half done shit, it being fixed for an ebin 'release' doesn't change that
>>431067793Just because you said something that sounds smart, doesn't mean it's actually smart.
>>431067589It is fun and hundreds of thousands of people still choose to play/watch it over any of its competetors despite its many shortcomings for a reason, it's just the shitters really want you to think they stopped playing the game because of these issues instead of just being shit at it, though they are not fooling anyone
Im really sorry, my dude, but you looked like a pmc.
>>431069782>the shitters really want you to think they stopped playing the gameThe best thing is that they keep coming back to this general to cry about the game despite supposedly not playing it.
>trillions of flies eat shit>you should eat shot tooafter all, trillions of flies can't be wrong
>be scav, see airdrop>wait for the other scavs to gather>wait for the invevitable traitor scav>kill him>loot is mine+scav karmaworks everytime
>>431071232Cry about it lmao
>>431069782I think you are an incredibly delusional man who can't face the reality this game faces.
>come here to shit down the throat of vatnik bots trying to peddle this scam to unsuspecting new players>manage to make them choke on hard facts>manage to steer the entire thread's discussion into how shit this whole franchise is and how the developer is nothing more than a scam artist>pay2win features in a 7 year old beta access is dismissed as "poorfag esl">the absence of a deadline, a proper roadmap or even the faintest idea of what the final product is dismissed as "you don't even play the game"shit game is shitdead game is deadthere will be no full launchyou will pay2win so you can stay competitiverealism, has if this shitshow was ever realistic to begin with, will go out the window the second one of those cheating paid actors whines about whatever the fuck they don't like to coonkitathe bug will never go awaythis game was never meant to be pvp and the netcode will never allow it to bethe ram blackholes are a featurethe map design will never improveyou vatniks are here forever 24/7I come here once or twice a week, when I feel like it, and still manage to fuck up your marketing lies and deception
>>431073067Well at least I don't have a game I don't like living rent free in my head lol
>get show in the eyes by someone who was never on my screen. Great game.
>>431073568>have bad eyesight>blame gameMany, many, MANY such cases.
>>431074005Everything on screen was inches from my face except for the sky. To shoot me in the face from where I was looking would've require pushing over the rock I was in from of, but they never appeared. I heard them coming for me clear as day, but they never appeared.
>>431074005>he still thinks there aren't cheaters in every lobbyHave you not been playing the same game? Are you playing spt?
>>431075459I don't play SPT because I'm not a bot, I also don't cry about cheaters every death because I'm not a coping shitter.Do cheaters exist? Yes.Are there cheaters in Tarkov? Of course.Are cheaters as common as people make them out to be? Hell no.
>>431075683If I cried about cheaters every death this thread would've been hit the bump limit 2 days ago. Just Google "the wiggle that killed tarkov" Investigation revealed rampant cheating, and invisible players have been a known issue. You might not like it, but this is the reality of it. It's based on tangle facets, and not just your opinion based off of the raids you done, or how you feel about it.
>>431076981>cherrypicked clips for maximum outrage to go viral>dood its literally realDo you also believe porn and wrestling are not staged?
>>431077294That's like saying you don't believe sex is real because of porn
>using simple logic when interacting with braindead vatnik bots peddling a 2016 beta access abandonware scamlollmao even
>>431077294Jesus this general really got that buck broken over that vid? Good lord.
>>431084810It wasn't just that video, but bsg's efforts to suppress negativity from it that got me all butt mad. Like, just pay people to fix your game instead of paying internet janitors to hide the problem.
>>431079092All they can do is argue in semantics, hyperbole, and insults to your character.
>>431085210I know it's a multi-facited issue but that video did the most to attract or awaken the retards here.
still no sledge hammer, but pretty decent pull for a scav
>>430995901>>430996504Honestly you people laugh at toilet paper hoarders, but you really don't have enough toilet paper yourselves. The average person uses 1 roll a day. If you have a family of 4, that's 28 per week. Over a hundred rolls each month. TP will be worth its weight in igolnik in a few months because everyone needs it.
>>431087296right. it vindicated all the shitters who got filtered out long ago(read: every doomposter itt) because they thought that everyone who kills them is cheating to begin with.
>>431067589It's okay being abandonware p2w.It's not okay to pretend it is not.
How much are vodka and sugar going for on the flea rn?
>>431096841sugar 50k vodka fluctuates around 30k
>>431097587Tyvm. Wanting to see if I can break 10mil as soon as I hit 15. Might be closer to 5 unfortunately.
They should put a PPS-43 in the game as a more controllable alternative to the PPSh!
Oh yeah, pk level 2 unlocked. Now I can start larping as some tacticool operators, fuckin' rhino mount nods on my boonie cap, fuckin' 80lbs of m4 flavored fire and brimstone in my hands.
>>431102043Hang on guys, this is gonna be funny. I just got a great idea...
>>431091573>The average person uses 1 roll a day
>>431091573>1 roll a DAYHow many fucking times are you shitting anon, holy fuckFold the paper and you can get away with less than a dozen squares per shit and still be squeaky cleanDon't tell me you're some femoid scruncher
>>431106780it's pasta, anon. very stale pasta
>>431105145>>431106780I shit once a day and use most of the roll if not the whole thing
I got the thing from customs but too scared to try and plant it in factory :(
>>431110240The quest isn't getting done by itself. You either go to factory, succeed and complete the quest or die and redo the quest. If you never try then it's already failed.Also the quest inventory system takes your items with you no matter what map you queue into so if you died somewhere else in the meantime the thing is still lost.
>>431112503I put it in the quest stash till i get the flea and can buy flechette.
>>431114324Honestly the biggest help with that quest is just hiding somewhere and surviving till there's like 5 or 10 mins left. PMCs leave factory really fast and there aren't many, so very quickly everyone will be dead or gone. Then you can go place the item undisturbed. You're always gonna run into a few scavs, but any gun is good for them.
>>431117053Think the first time I did it, I did a night raid and 50 practice runs. Spawn, pop scavs and move, plant, extract. Rinse and repeat. The actually raid was extremely uneventfulaside from me holding me breath the whole time
>>431089713scavs eatin good today. wouldve been a lot better, but fence wanted 8 building items.
>>431117943>load up pmc on shorline>time to go checkout this key>get there>room's unlocked>it was never lockedWhat a fucking troll
>find an ak-545 short in raid>fire a few rounds off it while extracting>hey this feels pretty good to shoot actually>check the price from skier>81k ruplesWtf, why so expensive
>>431121059Bcuz it feels pretty good to shoot
>dabbing on level 40s with my pk lvl 2 feels good bros. made 180k off selling his gun to skier.
>>431124508The funny part is he had 2 snipers in his bag that were probably equally valuable but I didn't want to play tetris out in the open after having shot guns so I just grabbed the scopes and suppressors and I was watching him for a hot minute. If he had just kept walking he would've made bank, on account of I wasn't gonna engage. But as soon as I saw by his legs he was scoping me I stood up to engage. I'm keeping all the scopes and suppressors for later though. I love the Schmidt & Bender ones.
>keep forgetting waterfilter
>>431063886>what are you too poor to eat shit?>hurr durr i can afford it cuz i have a job at mcdonaldsbsg shills everyone
>pmc jumps me in concordia and takes out my arm>playing scav, only gun was a saiga shotgun with no stock or rear sights>manage to lure him close enough to mag dump him and stop the heavy bleeding before I diestill hate this fucking game though
>connection lost
>>431047180I would hope that would light a fire under BSG's ass to figure something out. I think G0at said he found a cheater in about half of his raids. Pretty bad.
When wipe
>>431142176Probably the end of next month
Live
>>431124508Man is there any engagement in this game that looks interesting? why did you even bother or share this
>>431156647Virtual murder is always kino.
>>431156996The guy sits in a bush who knows how long and shoots the guy in the back, boring.
>>431158398The guy is clearly a newfriend Timmy, considering he's hyped about having PK2, let him have his fun. You were also happy about kills like that when you were new. At least he's actually enjoying the game instead of being another yet generic doomposter #1053.
>>431156647Why are you here?
Is the 3 extra pen on M62 worth $10 more per bullet compared to M80?
>>431158398>>431156647If you can't even tell that they are facing eachother and exchanging gun fire, then you probably can't notice the more subtle details, like the Timmy's clear intent to not engage, the Chad zeroing in on the Timmy as he hears the slight shifting of the Timmy around the rock as he's trying not to shit himself, the Timmy's clean reaction as soon as he realized he was spotted, the subtle shift to get the rock between them, the chad's over confidence as he moves into a more exposed area to get a shot the accuracy and speed of the Timmy's semi auto gun fire as he's tracking the chad, the Timmy shooting the rock probably scaring the crap out of himself even more.Pure fucking kino.
>>431165465No, but streamers/youtubers will say anything just to be contrarian
>>431165465Nope, the extra 10 is for the star wars laser gun effect.
>>431169404A perfect match for my Stormtrooper aim.
>>431169517I'm partial to the classic "tracer every 3rd round" setup in my mags for 5.56. Have they added a 249 or 240 to the game yet? I mean, the 240 is technically a crew served weapon, but I've seen a lil Asian guy go full rambo with one, so I imagine the turboslavs of eft could manage it. A saw with pouch mags would be awesome though. One of my biggest complaints in tarky is how impractical suppressing fire is due to ammo. Need to start carrying half my mags in ye ol' green tips just for shooting around people with.

What happened here? In tarkov terms please.Rat attack or grenade?https://files.catbox.moe/1ffuve.mov
>>431175693Timmys got shot. You can't be pussy footing around inside like that. It's clear from the situation things are quite hot, yet they're creeping through a killzone. Situations like that you have to clear a quickly and aggressively as possible. They just weren't willing to close the distance with the enemy.
Was PK's design supposed to be a slightly(slightly) more intimidating steve seagull?
Is it just me, or are operational tasks taking longer than normal to refresh? I'm sure I'd have new ones by now.
>>431179068You can check how much time is left by going to the tasks page from a trader that had your last daily task and clicking show completed.
>>431180679Thanks anon
>>431176998I thought the same, the tacticool approach of creeping in is good if the enemy isn't aware of your position.But in this case it's clear that they were even shooting, yep. Skill issue.
>>431175693I think it's stairs audio bug
>>431175693Would have been ok if they brought class 5
>>431182548kek
Fucking finally found the 7th COFDM I needed for Lightkeeper. It's so fucking annoying to acquire them now that intel 3 is so hard to get.
>>431182094The only way to overcome violence is with greater violence. Stair wells are really, really shitty. They should've been shooting back to suppress that guy, moving up half flights as a time, then shooting so the next guy can move up, etc until someone who wanted to get their dick wet got close enough to pop an angle and finish the fight. The chances of catching a ricochet are way less than direct fire from an unsuppressed combatant, and even if you did catch a ricochet, it won't do nearly as much damage having already transfered a bunch of its energy to the wall or woteva.It really all comes down to training and doctrine. If they don't have the logistics to support doctrine that utilizes suppressing fire(and all the rounds spent to effectively do it), then they mightve just been fighting how they were trained. Still shitty training though if you're training your guys to have a fucking picnic in the killzone.
>>431184328What bamboozled me was the fact that they were already in contact with the enemy and they keep going upwards.Like what the fuck don’t you know you can retreat to where you weren’t getting shot at.
>playing raid>silence>hear ONE loud footstep somewhere in an odd direction>silenceThis game is crap.
>>431175693Skill issue.Many such cases.
>>431187581ive used that to my advantage letting me know someone is where im going or near me etc. I used to think it was random noises that didnt mean anything but i was wrong
>>431188634same but i've also recently discovered AI scavs can cause those sounds. also funny how we got a whole audio rework just to have more or less the same problem.
I randomly sprint for 2 steps and flick my selector switch just to make any possible campers/hiders tweak tf out

alright I read up on newfag resources and still on the fence about this gameI understand myself enough to know that I'll probably end up doing solo pistol or moist nugget runs while actively avoiding gun fights, sweating bullets, nervously double checking surroundings and swearing like a sailor when I get ventilatedis it even possible to enjoy playing this as a stealth/horror game

Anyone tried doing sightings based on travel time? Seem to be getting more consistent trajectories trying to sight closer to 1/5th of a sec rather than the 1/3rd. I think gravity might be a little more aggressive in tarkov.
>>431220058Trajectories was a bad word. I meant "point & click headshots regardless of range"

Anyone like the rfb? I find them all the time and end up selling them
>>431249430yeah. good budget m80 slinger. not so good if you're hoping it'll come back in insurance though.
>>431250208Yeah, I'm trying to decide on what dmr I'm gonna be running until level 3 traders. I'm kinda stuck with ps for Warsaw and fmj for nato 7.62. 7.62x54 ps in a drug druganov would be best, but ots a little harder for me to put one together than a OP-SKS or something like the rfb. Still don't have enough pen in any of the 20 cals to try and outspray any chads, so I'm kinda just relying on 30 cals and flechette.
>>431249430I did 8 of my 10 punisher4 kills with a single rfb, it's a kino gun. Great out of the box and looks sick. I prefer the spectre scope on it
>>431217559>an item on the roadmap is fixing the flashlightslmao
>>431251329For chads your only hope is to get the drop on them and headshot before they see you. Just run ammo that can pen lvl4 because of their helmet

>>431206393Why does SPT make eftg seethe so much?
>>431283801because SPTfags are annoying and think they're somehow better for playing the shitter friendly version of the game. Imagine you're in a Counter-Strike thread and there's a bunch of faggots trying to convince you that playing offline with bots is better.

The audio seems quite a lot better now. Does anyone else think so or am I going schizo? Like I felt proper muffling and directions when I was sprinting through interchange.
>>431321957I did one offline raid trying both comtacs and gssh. Comtac 2 sounds worse while 4s sound even better than before. Gsshs are unusable.
>>431321957no LOS = muffledit's better in the sense you're not left wondering wtf when you hear sprinting to your left and get shot from above/behind. you still hear people in the parking garage below you and vice versa.
The heck is loot detection? I've never seen any loot that looked like it had been "detected"
>>431324562It's the white dot in the middle of your screen when you are near loot.
Alright, now that I have lvl 15 and flechette, time to go play the handy-man at factory. Finally got that fuckin' wall & room taken care of and the gym is currently cooking. Capped out the rest of the hideout as well until I progress further with the traders, and got a bunch of containers. The rest of my money i get to do dumb shit with now.
what do you guys think of my g28 build?
>>431327582I know Tarkov is going for "realism" but I don't want to pay stupidly high prices to run HK guns... I'm not paying 300k for a G28.
>>431327582i snortled
Has the game gotten any better yet?
Me and my buddy cannot load into streets or lighthouse at all. Always get server disconnected why is this? All other maps are fine

How effective are suppressors, especially on speedy bullets? It's like every time I fire a suppressed sks or mosin I'm just like "that was loud as fuck, why did I waste 30k on that"

I got into my first raid of the week and right away I noticed that the audio feels really weak and muffled kinda as if I was not wearing a headset even though I am wearing ComTac 2s, I was playing on Labs where I had no issues a week ago, anyone else has this problem or just me?

What's the best way to do crafting? Money crafting, crafting stuff for personal use? Should I be crafting 24/7, buying stuff from the flea to keep it going?
>>431362935I just craft non-fm ammo when I have the materials. I'm also keen on disassembling shit for wires to sell. I'm not gonna be a sweatlord who has the workbench going 24/7
>>431362935crafting is not good for making money, something something efficient markets. I just use it to do things I cant buy or to recycle trash in my stash

Really enjoying the new aussie skav faction
>>431436112I just got to a scav exfil and got out, but lost connection before the loot screen. No matter how many times I tries to reconnect, it didn't work.Probably something related to that.
>>431436584>aussie scavsReal aussies are better scavs.
Pump actions should shoot faster. I mean c'mon, Comrade, rack it with some authority.
>>431437306Lol yeah I've had the same thought. In general the animations for pump action, single action, and most reloads look really funny considering how leisurely they seem. Like my pmc is just blissfully loading shells as if he's at the shooting range, while bullets are whizzing past his face.
>matching for skav at 8mins and runningok there may be some technical issues
>>431437654It'd be cool if the blue bar got drained a bunch by suppressing fire and what not, and the lower it was the shakier your hands were and start fumbling with round/mags, swearing under your panic attack breathing and shit.
Welp the game is fucked, can't match into any raids. >>431438652Eh I'd rather be given a new reload option that is faster but with a greater chance of fumbling shit. Like dropping shells while loading a shotgun. Not sure what the debuff on mags would be because I don't shoot guns enough.
>>431433697Chocolate?

>>431442151Well, the audio is certainly different.

>>431444250Its just well designed you dont understand FPS
>>431444447I also had a problem where certain rattling on my weapons as I move/turn sounds just like someone flipping a slector switch over to me right. It's pretty annoying.
>>431444705My biggest problem with this game is just how dogshit the sound design is. It's the worst in any game I've played.
>>431444981That and the netcode.And RPG elements.And gunplay.But its still ok FPS game.
>when you're just doing tasks and don't want to loot shit but a single pscav crosses your path>he's carrying tons of great loot and you've just finished all your tasksthanks for doing my looting for me holmes!
>>431445569>And gunplay.my brother in christ that is the one thing this game excels at
>>431449575>single fire worse recoil than holding m1Dogshit
>>431449820It's mainly visual recoil. You're actually back on target way before your sight picture says so.
Man, fuck these guns. I'm just gonna start raiding with s rig full of grenades.
>>431449575I dunno, two dudes pointfiring with lasers and spraying and praying at each other doesn't sound like good gunplay.
>>431453608That's literally modern cqb tho...
>>431451693Ok so it's still bad
>>431453608>>431453770Yeah it's fine in dorms or whateverIt's when the best way to shoot at range is still to magdump and just land hits as the recoil stabilizes that the system falls apart
>>431449820"gunplay" means a hell of a lot more than just that>>431453608two dudes with lasers point-firing at each others headssounds pretty skillful to me. some might say that's comparable to CS gunplay
>>431454905Except CS doesn't auto compensate for recoil and doesn't let you shoot with decent accuracy while moving, unlike Tarkov.
Y'all, im fucking shiting myself on woods today.

>>431471187Sidenote: That helmet saved my life. Normally I just run whatever the ragman has, but bought an ach off of the flea because I thought I was worth it.So my fellow shitters, run good shit. it makes a difference

>>431471501gunplay means everything from fingerfucking animations to actually shooting things, and the only complaints that can(rightfully) be made against the latter aspect are nitpicky at best
>>431487414Dude Tarkov's gunplay is dogshit, you are either delusional or baiting. The horrible desync and shit like bullshit right hand peeks aren't helping either.
Is it possible to set up my PostFx in a way that improves visibility and doesn't look like shit?
>>431488309>Brightness 0 (use your NVidia panel if you want to mess with this, the ingame option is a trap that renders you permanently blind irl with terrible bloom)>Saturation and Contrast to 100 (it doesn't actually look that bad with the right color preset)>Luma and Adaptive sharpness to your liking>Montreal 100 for the meme streamer option everyone uses or find something you enjoy yourself>Tritanopia if you want to make trees greener. I have it at 40 when I'm playing with Montreal
>>431487843name a game that is equally as in-depth and better than tarkov on terms of gunplay (if you say hunt or spt you're a faggot and your opinion doesn't matter)
>>431491484Resident Evil 4
>>431491661
>>431491484Counter StrikeQuakeShit, even CoD MW19 had better gunplay.
>>431491065Thanks, I'll try them later. I have a particularly hard time seeing people on Interchange, which settings would be the best for that in case I tweak my postfx?
>>431491484My biggest complaint about the gun play is the sidestep. I just wish it was better. It should be a quick snappy movement to go from behind cover to in a shooting stance with your barrel down range instead of this dumb ass corner peak bullshit.
>>431492019Just mess with your gamma/contrast/brightness settings in the NVidia control panel until it's not as dark anymore. It's probably not gonna look aesthetically pleasing, though
I hope when they do the unity change over and add in more cover stuff they add a 3 finger hold/post up onto wall corners. I like the shoot from behind cover though. I like to us the up one with pistols while telling other pscavs to cheeki break themselves.
>>431491484The combat is shit and the worst selling point for tarkov, not only because of the mechanics but also because of the awful desync and netcode
I fucking love containers.
>gunplayJust means how good it "feels" to shoot guns in a game. And tarkov is really good in that regard.
>>431500261No it has good gun mechanicsIt doesn't feel good to fight against the recoil compensation and sway opposite to movement direction, but all the precise lean/crouch and bullets not coming out in an arbitrary cone of fire during hipfire does feel good
>>431500261>Just means how good it "feels" to shoot gunsThat's not gunplay, retard. You are describing gunfeel.
What setup should I use for night time sniping with a mosin? I intend to setup with an expected engagement distance of 400-600m. Should I use a regular scope and mounted nods. I mean I'm gonna have some for movement, but once I post up, should I switch to a NV scope? Which is better at filtertering out the light pollution to get a better picture farther out?
When are they gonna add muzzle thumping?
>sit down after long day>grab krinkov (ps ammo), tv110, 6b47 helmet>pmcs find me always before I find them>get domed by .338 from nowhere on woods>dump a mag into a guy to lose to some sort of AP ammo on customs>go shorelineLevel 19 mostly solo, been questing at night too. Interchange is my main map, but it's so difficult to branch to different maps and consistently win engagements. Should I switch to 5.56 or 7.62x39? Or am I kinda fucked since I'm assuming a lot of people have progressed much further than me? Only got peacekeeper, ragman, and skier level 2 btw
>>431507485I'm in the same kind of situation. Really at level 18. Really the only chance I have is to run level 4 stuff and something I'm comfortable headshoting with. Flechette rounds in a shotgun are great rn. Shrimp is a decent pistol. Other than that I'd just use the best ammo in whatever you're most comfortable headshotting with.
>>431504126it's all the same shit
>>431506394the armasight NVG scope is just barely useable on a clear night with perfect weather. your best bet is gonna be regular nods with a valday. a lot of other optics have illuminated reticules that obscure the scope picture at night, especially with night vision.
>>431509237Objectively wrong.
>>431509769gunplay is an all-encompassing term
night time woods teem
>>431510651also two times today i've killed 4 geared players and died. 2nd time was to a cheater
>>431504126No, retard, gunfeel is how a gun feels in your hands. You can't experience that in a game. Same with gunsmell and guntaste. Retarded noguns losers like you probably don't even KNOW about gunumami.
>>431508669I'm so close to workbench level 2, but I've been waiting to be able to use flechette. It's also my first wipe, but I assume my positioning is what I need to work on. Yesterday I brought my favorite gun (svds + attachments) into woods, got some scavs, 20min left posted up at little dickhead to see if shturman was around, and got one-tapped by m995. Pray to God I get the slim chance of getting it from insurance, but it's frustrating that I get killed half the time from people I can't even see. Even if it is just a fact of how tarkov works.
>>431512902Woods is like that, even more so than the rest of tarkov. Everyone is running flir in woods this late in the wipe. We Timmys are relatively blind walking through woods.
>skier daily>extract from labs via sewer conduit (2x)>get a labs armbandNever been to labs, but the armband does look sexy...Did a practice run and the sewer exit seems sorta simple. How doable is this for a timmy like me, never played a real labs raid.
>>431513148Yeah sucks a bit for questing there too. I've been thinking about learning reserve, and I just came from two nice night factory raids (11 scavs, 5 scavs) with 7.62x39, might be looking up for me on the cqb side of things. The balancing is just a bit shitty imo, I know it's not a big game but I'd love for some matchmaking algo or anything to tighten up the gaps.
>>431513849If you can fight Raiders you should be fine. If you don't want to deal with level 50+ Labs mains you can always camp in some dead end like a bathroom until they fuck off. Or you could just buy the armband on the flea market, they weren't that expensive since they removed barters last time I checked.
>>431515684>if you can fight raidersuhhh getting there, I need more practice
checking out this general to say your OP has had me cracking up constantly every time i look at the catalog, what's the context of the meme? why is he shoving a gpu up his ass?
>>431517234Tarkov is a loot based fps, and you lose all the items on you if you die in a match. However, you have a small case that you can store items in that will not be lost when you die. This case is usually used to stash hightier loot during a match so you can keep it even if you die. The tarkov community refers to "shoving it up your ass". GPUs are high tier loot in this game, so many are shoved up anuses
>>431517234In Tarkov every player has a secure container, everything that's inside it stays on your character even if you die. It's commonly referred to as the prison pocket/asshole, and people put expensive items they find in raid, such as GPUs to guarantee they keep them, just in case.
>>431517565>>431517593thats so fucking kino. god damn i have to give this game a shot sometime.>prison pocket
>>431517234GPUs are expensive in game, so he he putting it in his prison pocket, the in game secure container, so if he dies before he can leave that map/match, he won't lose it. The green helmet he is wearing also implies that he is a fucking scrub, or Timmys as we call them, which would explain the sense of urgency and disregard for his sphincter with which he is shoving it up his asshole.
>>431513849if you just want the armband you can literally just head to sewers and wait 7 minutes loolnot many use it so you'd be very unlucky to have someone come within 7 minutes
>>431517691It's an EXTREMELY kino game, especially as a new player. It has its issues but there isn't really anything like it so it's both hard to explain and impossible to leave once you're hooked.
>>431517691it's good if you're into looter shooter survival type games. very unforgiving. devs kinda suck. buy standard edition and see how you feel.
>>431517691It's great. There's a lot of comparison to the stalker series, and no other online fps makes you value your life or the lives you take as much as tarky. It's weird. There's something about getting geared up with a super expensive kit, all excited to fuck shit up, then getting your jaw blown off by a guy in a bush 300m over there. Yeah, it fucking blows, but what can ya do? Fuckin' zigged when ya shoulda zagged.Tons of demoralizers here that will say it's shit and dead, bit I'm sure you can afford the 40 bucks for your own opinion.
>>431517805this whole fucking explanation has me cracking up. >sense of urgency>disregard for his sphincter>>431518097>>431518457>>431518540one of these fucking days for sure. I just know when a community is tight knit enough to make memes like that, it must be damn good.
>>431517691Yes, Tarkov is peak slavkino, the only games that are comparable are Metro and Stalker.https://youtube.com/shorts/EwxSMFWc7zQ?feature=share
>>431518743so fucking kino.someone in the comments of that video posted the song name and band, now i'm gonna listen to that whole album. needed more russian music besides molchat doma and "kino".
>>431397773Reminds me>also scav raid shoreline>have a shotgun>walking down the highway approaching the gas station from the east>pscav joins me>he stops at uneven times>he looks at me funny, like he's planning something>hmm>stop>he stops and looks at me>shoot him in the face>carry onCan't trust anyone
>>431518943lurk vk music section, start copy pasting cyrillic song titles into youtube and eventually your vid suggestions will have sick ruskie bangersthis one doesn't even have a title lmaohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=he0QV1SfmGk
>>431521301shit ill try that, thanks.>no titleoh thisll be good.
>first scav raid after the update>in office>turn around and someone kills meliterally didn't hear a fucking thinghave they fucked up the audio even more ?
The sniper mosin should be able to be purchased from level 1 prapor after completing the Jaeger quest to kill scavs over 40m with iron sights on a bolt action(and he gives you 3 pu scope setups as a reward). Barmit suppressors shod also be a level 1 prapor barter. Level 2 should open a trade for the sv-98, but also the monte carlo stock, the patriot rail, and more muzzle options so you can start personalizing your mosin just a bit. Level 3 prapor should be sv-98 can be a mainstay, but the archangel options become available for those wanting to use the top shelf mosin. Also, 750 for a druganov build? What the fuck.
Wait, so I can just drop into factory with nothing but a shotgun and my pockets filled with shells, hold an angle, and all the scavs will come to me to get their heads blown off? This tagged and cursed thing sounds like a great way to get xp.
>>431527560If you want to zero to hero you can even hide with only a melee weapon at a door then when a scav comes in just get right in his face so he can't shoot you but you can smack his headThey're too dumb to back up and their weapon will fold like they're up against a wall
Please, just wipe it already...
>want to sell a gun>accidentally click disassemble instead of filter by itemIt's like dropping a LEGO set by accident...
Man, all my quests are on some bullshit. They're all at customs, factory, or interchange. My SR for those maps is like 10% cuz I'm a shitter. Where was that level 19 anon that was complaining about woods. You probably have a lot of the same quests(I'm 18). Let's knock this shit out, bro.
>get shotgun back from insurance>6 shell mag tube is goneEvery time. Why? Fucking why!? It's not even 2k from Jaeger. Why would you loot that?
>>431558732You didn't insure it. You can't remove them without some cheats, and I doubt cheaters have a vendetta against you and your shotguns.
Alright, finally cleaned out my stash. Back down to only 2 junk boxes worth of barter goods. Got 3 medcases, 3 coolers, 2 pistol cases, and 2 ammo boxes. Been waiting to burn through fuel for the mag and grenade ones. Made 3mil from selling all my junk.
>>431561571Also, nuts & bolts have been selling for more than vodka, wtf is up with that
Hopefully people are gonna kill all the Rogues for me while I'm jerking off in a bush so I can look for the Lightkeeper flash drive in peace.
>>431557053I'm back, wsg bro?
>>431566837Couldn't find it, but damn I barely made it out.
>>431561965That's strange, don't you just need em for early hideout levels?
genuinely how do you not make a million ruble run as a scav or pmc every time you hit reserve?
>>431521301kino song, been listening to this while grinding some weeb shitthis guy uploads a lot of shoe gaze/dream pop/synthy slav music for anyone who cares. peak tarkov music sometimeshttps://www.youtube.com/@krzysztofutbult/videos
>>431574014What's your route? For research purposes>>431575198Might be a little off-genre but a lot of techno rumble and edm fits a lot with tarkov's style, Niki Istrefi, 999999999, I Hate Models to name a fewhttps://youtu.be/belXoxcmgXAhttps://youtu.be/5fE7c5mlioYhttps://youtu.be/GojhpxrkNb4https://youtu.be/xjCb4CB-hdwhttps://youtu.be/TK252NZp7Nw
lol, I just remembered tatu was a thing.
>kill 2 levels 52 players>grab my friends dogtag (64)>die to a nadeTrophies is such an annoying task, I swear every other dogtag quest allowed non-FiR dogtags despite the description saying they have to be FiR. Have they fixed that?
I think I'm gonna buy a few health resort keys to add to my collection and just get really familiar with the resort. I'll either kill everyone that's there and make a fortune, or go broke trying. Think a spraykay would be good for it. If it ends up not working out too God for me, I'll switch to an op-sks + mp 153/155. Think my biggest problem so far with pvp is not using my grenades. Gonna try to remember them, and start trying to lead with one when I push.
Yall ever click escape and get mogged by your scav. not a good feeling
>>431582173Nighttime + practice horde scavs would be an easy introduction, but you can also go balls to the wall and just go daytime
>>431582725Does that scav gun, think it's the first 7.62x51. Does that gun's barrel a smooth bore?
>>431579307as a pmc or scav?It boils down to the same shit i guess anyway:Never ever go underground, always go at night.Its much easier as PMC since you can bring keys for the high value spawns and fuck off quickly with RR, but lets say you're a poor scaveener and you start at the train station spawn:If you have a lot of time check the tower at the edge of the map and the marked room to see if someone left something, if not you start sprinting into train station>train jacket, attachments, dead scav, >tower, jacket>field infront of knight, duffel+crate>knight: jackets, pc case upper floor with gpu spawn, duffel room is treasure spawn, attachment room+crate, roof attachments+crate, jump into second floor ammo, attachments, crates>garages: duffel+crate>in between knight:dead scav, crate>other knight, jackets, duffel downstairs, jackets+crate+attachment spawn upstairs, roof crates, jump off roof into tents by king, crate>white pawn:duffels+ crates on the floors, check from the windows if there is movement on dome, loot roof crates, jackets treasure spawn>black pawn:duffels crate on the floors, floor level duffel is treasure spawn, roof crate/attachments>heli: jacket, crates, check food for sugars>jump into bishop for scav, jackets, downstairs duffel+sugars+shelf for and small room for filter spawns>fuck offIf you have too much time and the map is dead quiet you can always check the gpu room or the safe on dome, if you don't have a backpack check the train station and d2 downstairs for dead scavs, you are guaranteed to fill your inventory with at least 15k/slot items. You can do this entire run in 18 minutes, the best time to go is at 5 am when it starts getting bright (meaning pmcs with NVGs will leave the map early) and when its 20:45 meaning pmcs without nvgs will leave the map early.I can do this run blind and I've made 24 million rubles just from scaving sat+sunday and farmed many flea banned guns. No competition at night. Good luck friend.
>>431579307actually some pretty cool bops. I liked niki and IHM (even though he's fr*nch), thanks anonI listen to shit like this or cringe soundcloud shit when I'm inna raid wit da boyz (read: 1 friend)https://youtu.be/hLFSH5JM3uwalso is the retarded event over? haven't played in a hot minute
>>431583558You my friend are a gentleman and a scholar, may Nikita bless your loot. Thank you for the guide.
>>431584732Hahaha nice! Charlotte de Witte is also pretty good, I love her music. >Is the retarded event over?It quite literally spanned 1 (one) day and was never talked about again
>>431583372RFB that kicks like an FAL without stock
>>431585118>It quite literally spanned 1 (one) day and was never talked about againthank god, now I can go back to getting dunked on by MY OWN TERMS of map choice
>>431584869the key is to be fast and know the value of items, as well as where the treasure spawns are, even on a really small inventory you can make a big profit just by being dilligent and maxing out the value of stuff you can put in your pockets, so that will take some time.Coincidentally by hitting all the jackets you tend to find a lot of valuable reserve keys that vary from 40 to 1 million rubles per slot.You can make lots of money on lighthouse or woods as well, but reserve is one thing: reliable ammo, guns, keys and money.Here is an example, my inventory was limited so I just hit all the treasure spawns. This is 600k+I think the best haul I've made so far was a 6 million run with 3 valuable keys, gpu, treasures and lots of ammo I didn't sell.
>>431586562I like reserves top side for fuel runs. There's so many metal can just lying around.
Gentlemen, after 270 hrs of playing I can now announce I have found a gpu. It was in a pc block at the pier on shoreline. You may now proceed to be jealous of my awesome loot. That is all.
>>431588594>he's beginning to believe.gif
>load up shoreline>full key tool for resort >forgot backpack>immediately find red flare & neato ronin helmAnother one in the run through column
>>431583372vepr hunter, rifled barrel. might be sold as smoothbore in russia, idk.
bosses still 100% or am I late to the fun?
>>431592043Very late.
>>431592745god damnit. might as well wait around for some more changes/events outside of the headphone changes.

Bump for the level 18 quest guy
what's the verdict on the audio update ?
>>431558732what other anon said, you didn't insure itI always get back my 8 shell mag shotguns
>>431597970ah, yes. Thats me.
>>431598579Good update, but I think the 60m range is a bit far. A busy factory raid gets real noisy when you're on the floor. Quality and direction are good though.
>>431598985Hahaha nice nickname & drip. Ph*neposting rn, will add you in a bit. I can probably hop on around 8p est if that's g? Also what quests do you have on interchange? Just finished big sale, then I have scav killing quests on customs. Also got a tarcone directors & factory exit key to make things a bit easier.
>>431599821I have a lot of the location specific quest item stuff. Like, I have touched streets yet. Still need delivery from the past, extortionist, and pharmacist, farming & scout, big sale & MUGA. I've just been doing loot runs and shit.
>>431600430Oh perfect- I have chemical 2, muga, poko hobo, farming 4, aquarius 2, signal 1 (fuck that btw), tarkov shooter 2, bad rep evidence, etc
Finally, I am become escape from tarkov.Took two weeks to find the last item I needed for kappa.
>>431606898look at this big niggabe nice to the timmies out there
>timmy bear needing to start lighthouse quests>broadcast, easy job, corporate secrets>all take me inside the fuckyou-zone of rogues>go at night with bargain-bin NVGs and stealth into the treatment plant>get quests done and sneak out>avoid all the gunfire I hearFuck I know this is mundane shit to the people who know what they're doing in this game but shit like this makes me feel like solid snake. I'll get used to lighthouse soon enough and the magic will be gone, but for now it feels so tense just being inside the plant.
>>431608576Bro run a suppressed 1911 and either a sniper mosin or m4. Peak mgs3 larping
I have 30 red flares in my inventorywhat should I do with them?
>>431609828Pop them on shoreline. The path to light house extract is super comfy for flares.
>>431609431As an MGS1&2 fan I'm bummed tarkov doesn't have the USP9mm. I still prefer to larp as MGS1 snake with my suppressed USP.45, I pretend it's a 9mm. Too bad my victims can't simply pretend the bullet holes are smaller :)
>>431611258Lmfao. I saw there was a USP when I first downloaded the game and I still wanna try and use a modded one sometime. They just need to add either a PSG-1 and diazepam, or FAMAS and my life is complete. Also saying that, kinda funny they don't have either of those in the game.
>>431609431>still no suppressor height sights for the M1911A1
>>431612467>still no mk23 socom
>>431613536Should let you use it as a melee weapon to bludgeon people to death.
>>431612467The pistols are fucking kino in this game, I especially love the FD917 suppressor for the Glock. Makes for a very mgs-esque sidearm.
>>431616446I'd love running red dots on pistols and making them all tacticool if the idle sway and recoil weren't so shit with them. The dots are barely visible when you move or stand without holding your breath. It's terrible.
>>431616713Yeah the recoil and sway are bonkers. The annoying part is that it doesn't look that bad when you're rapid firing. But if you then examine your grouping you'll see it's shit because of the recoil lol. You have to fire much slower than you'd expect. The best experiences I have with pistols in this game is as a true sidearm, using them to rush someone while we're both reloading in a firefight. Nothing beats busting into a room and magdumping someone 2m away with your tacticool USP45.>POWPOWPOWPOWPOW
Yall making me reconsider being a pistol main.

I did knock out my bug sale task and got caught up to you there. Been doing a whole lot of putzing around and trading, opening up different options. Like I got all the keys for shoreline health resort, and also picked up some for interchange (didn't grab the Kiba one, looks like a hassel). Gonna work on a customs keyring next.

PSA: The shrimp fucks
>>431646823Bro, I'm at 19 with 90 raids wtf? Does the 20-24 xp curve really become that steep?
>>431491484I think the old adage: "wide as a sea, deep as a puddle" is what tarkov's gunplay is. There are many systems that sizzle down to a very specific meta with one focus: recoil. Compare that to even a classic system with crosshair bloom and displacement and you can come up with a dozen playstyles that anyone can learn easily and with enough time master.What I'm saying is that the "depth" doesn't translate to gameplay in meaningful ways.Even just some s.t.a.l.k.e.r. mods have more systems that the player can learn and affect by choices made during gameplay, like meaningful upgrades to guns or regular maintenance. In tarkov you get a gun that either jams in 5 ways or doesn't, but it all still boils down to pressing two buttons to unjam it. You can change all the parts into more reliable ones and it will still jams almost at the same rate while fucking up your recoil, so why not just go for best recoil?

>>431673682spectre doctorvudu and razor are 1-8x actually which is a reason why they're expensivenot that I get it since the 1x mode is too weak for spotting and 8x gives me a headachesmith and bending 3-12x is my favourite but for eco I usually just go spectre doctor or perhaps even HAMR but it's more expensive because of the deltapoint for backup
>>431658517>>431668260yeah i've been slow on quests and I also spent the first ~50 or so raids this wipe running factory with friends (until they quit on me) which is pretty hit or miss on xp

Reminder that flea market should be removed from the game.
>>431704870>guy rambling about slicks being bad is relevantyou want armor to stop you from dying to a 2tap to the chest or a stray headshot, and the only limbs getting blacked that matter are head and thorax. there's no reason to protect your stomach because a scav shooting his sks with ps into your tummy is an annoyance or surgery at worst, but with armor it means now that guy with meh ammo can shoot you in the chest and kill you because your armor is already broken
>>431709516The other important factor is weight and move speed modifiers. Stomach protection armors tend to slow you down more, and if you're getting shot at getting to cover/turning and running is more important than raw tanking ability
>>431709516>completely ignoring him explaining why thorax only is badHoly shit you're hopeless.>>guy rambling about slicks being bad is relevantYes, because just like the MMAC it's thorax only therefore it suffers from the same issues.>there's no reason to protect your stomach The extra 1.5x multiplier from a blacked stomach is reason enough.>guy with meh ammo can shoot you in the chest and kill you because your armor is already brokenYou seem to have no idea how many times you would need to get hit by that PS Scav in order for a decent armor to get zero'd.
>>431709424ywn have a survival game
>>431710743its not about it being zeroed, its about the armor's potential being reduced. class 4 already has a 20% chance of being penned by 7.62x39 PS, the second shot has a much greater chance to pen and so on. sure a class 5 can theoretically take upwards of 5 PS to penetrate, but even one sks shot an a ghzel (common class 5 that protects stomach) greatly reduces its effectiveness if you later run into someone with, say, 856a1 or BT (two very common midrange ammos). and yes, I ignored why he said thorax only is bad because it makes no sense. why would I want to wear an armor that covers arms when it means I'm shit slow and my turn rate is awful? by the logic of "well people aim center of mass and hit arms/stomach so that you can't just protect thorax" you may as well never wear any armor unless you have the zbralo, which is obviously an ineffective strategy. and its also unlikely that you'll encounter an enemy who can exploit shooting your arms or stomach exclusively - if they can aim that well they'll either headshot you or they'd shoot for legs which will always be unarmored on every target (and has the added benefit of slowing people who don't premed).I know that because some streamer said it in their video you take it as gospel that he must be right, but really think about it for a few seconds. what he's saying is that an armor that has low movement penalties and strong protection is bad because your enemy won't shoot you in the armor, which completely misses the point of why you wear armor and what its purpose is in tarkov in the first place.
>>431712879he even makes this point when he talks about why everyone wears tv-110s - it has low penalties and a lot of slots, and it protects you from scavs. so clearly this guy understands the point of armor, he's just on some wild shit about how slicks and hexes are bad because they don't make you an invincible supersoldier... it literally makes no sense that this guy would sell a slick to wear a tv-110 based on his explained theory that armor coverage (and especially stomach coverage) are so important
