Scav gangs roaming the map and encountering them in weird places really does make things more dynamic. Kinda weird it took so long to happen

why is it taking them so long to give us weapon paint in the main game
just want to put EMR on a TAPCO SKS to recreate a dream I had about the game last year

Are they ever going to fix M60s sounding all retarded in 3rd person during full auto fire

>>531959010
it's bound to happen eventually Nikita knows there is mad dosh to be made in weapon skins.

where the fuck do streamers get these lobbies

>>531965769
for real dude, and on reserve at that? i kill one PMC there and have the whole lobby worth of pscavs coming to snuff me out.

>>531965769
I would not be surprised if they get whitelisted lobbies but then again, I am not entirely sure about how matchmaking works in this game. Do they even have any matchmaking in the first place... Given how scummy BSG is I think this is a possibility.

CoD streamers who are sponsored by Activision get whitelisted easier lobbies. Of course they also reverse-boost and cheat but that's that.

I HAVE TO SAY
TODAY WAS A GOOD RAID

>>531972818
it's okay, but if there's anyone else in the match that's good at the game then you'll most probably lose because you just can't chain kills enough with the overheating

>>531981340
that's on you man, he probably was just extracting but he heard your stomping and decided to make an ambush

if you swipe the red keycard, enter the room and close the door behind you, is it supposed to lock so you have to use another card charge to get out?

>>531991125
Yes, you can lock people if you're fighting someone who's inside

>>531991269
was about to ask that if anyone said yes lol

Fucking let me level up Ragman already, I want to buy clothes

>>531991359
why the fuck would they unlock ref lvl2 before any other trader? I'm still stuck on fucking gunsmith 3

>>531991495
>why the fuck would they unlock ref lvl2 before any other trader?
Fascinating question...

>>531991495
But you can buy the MP5 for Gunsmith 3 from Ref 2

>>531994215
gimp mask should be at the end
VALs are cool as long as they're not metafag builds (which yeah obviously that is but you get what I mean)
the gimp mask shows you're just some fucking slave to maximum possible win percentage K/D. ugly as shit but minmaxed.

>>531995530
Nah, the mask is available on every class, next step is only playing scout because it has the best ammo, then becoming a 9x39 sissy because it's the meta caliber.

Streets are still bussin with loot, it's such a shame that this map is impossible to play on. I really hate spawn fights there, but also the optimization doesn't exist.

WHERE'S THE FUCKING EOD CLOTHING NIGGITA???

Scout should be limited to level 3 plates.

>>531999124
I came to the same conclusion a few days ago.

Just unlocked prapor lvl2 and fuck, vsk94 with sp5 sure looks tempting but I'm still struggling to make serious money. I guess I'll stick with shitty aks I find in raid

There's nearly zero difference between a meta VAL and one with nothing but an OKP-7.

fuck
almost had a huge teem but the priest nigger was just camping a bush and killed me on the first tap

>>532014783
Cultists are weird, I only ran into them once or twice since I'm not fond of night raids. I had them on customs once and they were all prone in bushes near crackhouse, initially I thought they were pmcs. I shatted bricks when one of them tried to melee me

just saw someone hit 314 marked and all they got was a deagle and stack of rub. buffed my ass lmao.

H A R D C O R E

>>532015029
that was my experience now as well. I grabbed the unknown key to do my task and swept through the crackhouse looking for my last morphine, as i stepped out through the door facing the stronghold i saw a head go past the little ditch and thought a PMC had gone prone. Couldn't find him so I eventually moved on when I saw a cultist sprint at me prompting me to two tap him with my deagle. Cleared them all out but the priest who only popped his head out from a bush and rocked my shit.
Maybe next raid..

>>532013517

and that was it

i have yet to find another ololo multivitamin since the first one i found day 2 of the wipe. Haven't even found one on my scav and died with it.

>>531981340
I go into every raid with one or two objectives in mind. Every time you do a task it's a gamble, there are a hundred other dick heads trying to do your exact quests.

For example, I needed to do burning rubber. Im not the only person. Why risk 40k rubles when I can just camp the car and catch a retard who has brought in 40k to complete the task?

It took me about 20 raids before I was able to get to machine gun. There was always some one camping that stairwell with an impact or a GL.

>try to find some decent suppressed pistol to bring with my sniper
>see PL-15 on Prapor
>oh, I remember that thing used to have a really cheap proprietary suppressor
>look for it on Prapor

>>532016512
I could not find vitamins or tooth paste, now every run i find atleast one or more of each. Hang in there Anon, it only gets worse.

>finally start making morphine for therapist
>still 0 mags for ice cream cone
>missing 2 sewing kits for lavatory 2 so I can craft them

Fuuuucking hell, the progress is slow af. I've got 2 full boxes of junk and I can't upgrade anything. The amount needed for gen 2 is insane, at least I can craft wires but future upgrades are gonna be so fucking bad for my stash

nikita shouldve been a mobile game developer. his business model is very similar.

>you can do this by grinding xxx amount of hours or you can just pay money and speed up the process

i remember playing clash of clans on mobile idk how many years ago and you could lower the time it takes to build the structures with money, tarkov made me remember that, them presenting arena as a way to get money fast is very similar

>>532019913
>pscav mains
Uhh no.

>>532021605
Damn talk about mental illness LMAO

>>532021605
>prestigefags hate him
wow i love willerz now
in all seriousness i do wonder if he cheats, i remember seeing that one clip of him tracking a scav through a window that looked really suspicious because he stopped tracking immediately as his crosshair reached the frame in the middle of the window, which was masking the scav, then flicked over and started tracking again as soon as the scav was back in view. pretty much everyone i know would keep tracking in that situation and not stop just because the target got obstructed for half a second

>>532022145
he has several bust clips and it's extremely obvious that he at the very least DID use cheats of some kind. Not just a radar either, it was either soft aimbot/lock or walls. The only reason someone would have to defend him is being one of his goons or one of his viewers.

>>532021848
I've managed it with 6-7 raids a day on average, the mentally ill play far more.
>>532022145
>him
I hate streamers in general.

>>532022317
yeah figures. amazes me how people deny the most obvious shit, there's clips of shroud straight up raging on tournaments but you'll still see people saying he never cheated

aside from marked keys, what are the best keys so far this wipe? I'm not having any luck with my reserve ones

>>532015176
>Hes not hitting RB-PKPM

NGMI

total teem :
3x RR (2 in one raid!!!)
2x Taiga
1x Black card
1x Yellow card
4x Bitcoin

>>532022145
>6-7 raids a day
mentally ill + touch grass

>>532019071
>>532019220
Sometimes he goes on scav genocides where he'll lose like 3.0 karma in a single raid. He doesn't care.

>>532022924
have they buffed marked loot since yesterday? i genuinely don't believe that there's such a drastic difference
>>532015821

>>532023747
I'm playing Japanese servers, less cheaters and vacuum cleaners

>>532024323
The honorable samurai does not cheat...

>>532024410
my rule of thumb for opening marked rooms is to never open them if something feels off about the raid

>take too long to load in? probably a gigaslow machine running wallhacks on the other end
>abnormalities at the start of the match like someone insta firing a gun? don't even think about it
>dead bodies, looted containers or lackluster loot near the rooms? don't bother

I look for raids where I find valuables outside of the marked rooms, then I know for sure they aren't vacuumed so if you see a bitcoin or some bullshit out in the open you'll know the probability of someone vacuuming is minimal.


now I wish I knew a way to farm marked keys

>>531994215
>>531995530
It's always some edgy name too. It's like they genuinely think they're good because they run every crutch that's available to them.

>>532017549
I've still not done any quests besides the GZ stuff really and i've been entirely focused on doing my hideout, im still stuck at lvl 1 for everything. I'm close to a few lvl 2s, but it still feels miles away. I've been living in GZ since it has the most uncontested Technical Crates and tool boxes I know of and all of it is near atleast one extract or more.

I'm tired of fighting people in my spawn so i can go rat around tunnel for 20 minutes before having to find off any one thinking they could just avoid pvp down in the tunnel. It's getting old.

I just want to craft shit.

>want to see how the 6-round grenade launcher feels/mess around with it
>get the achievement for 15x kills on each of the Goons
>still haven't seen it
they really have far too many weapons in their pool, especially if some are only from them. Same shit with Kaban.

>>532024323
>>532025045
you know what, that's fair. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that they're still vacuuming after all these years. Either they've giga nerfed marked rooms or they are just that empty, and your experience unless its pve tells me that's not true.

>>532022145
I think a lot of these FPS streamer gods who have no back ground in competitive gaming are most likely cheating to some degree.

Has WillerZ played any other FPS besides tarkov? or does he only play an FPS that's near impossible to get banned or exposed for cheating in?

>>532025816
I'd sooner die than play PVE an inferior product. rn im coping my way through reserve filing cabinets trying to get another marked key im so hungry

this is better content than their arena bullshit

>>532031296
shoulda brought sunglasses

>>532031448
doesn't that only work against flashbangs/zvezda rounds?

>>532031570
they've changed it recently so sunglasses now dims the flashlights

>>532031570
Nope they also reduce the intensity of flashlights. It's not a crazy amount though. Gigabeef actually has a good info vid on it

goddamn I am getting shitted on the past couple days

>>532033796
Please make a statistics and write down hours played when someone kills you. It's ALWAYS someone who has at least 1000 hours, most of the time even more than that. 3k is pretty common for me.

>>532034253
hours really aren't the problem, it's just endless squads or people camping some chokepoint. Even a squad of 200hr timmies is dangerous if you're solo, and any noob can camp

>>532022145
i dont think he cheats, he trains tracking and shooting a lot in the hideout, he can track the moving shooting targets in the hideout the same, i dont think cheats can lock on them because theres no player model

>>532034253
I wouldn't be surprised if only the most dedicated and mentally ill players are left playing pvp. This wipe in particular is brutal for anyone who's not so good at the game since it's impossible to make money if you're not scavving, playing arena or having above 50% S/R. The only players I've encountered that had like below 500h were cheaters

>>532019071
>imagine his PEE ooO VeEh

>playing games is mentally ill
we talked abbout this unc, you are the mentally ill one as you keep bitching and crying everytime you get OWNED by someone who plays more than 1 raids a day.

I think we can all agree that the true mentally ill folks of tarkov are the hordes of pve streamers who have hundreds of hours streaming for just 1-2 people. What goes through your mind that makes you think anyone would enjoy watching pve on stream, holy fuck

>>532035807
>more than 1 raids a day
calm down lil ESL bro

>>532036830
i originally typed 2 raids and didnt correct it. because your pathetic nigger ass is sitting here 5h a day but defo not playing more than 1 raid a day.

My PMC encounters are either a naked solo pistoling or geared squads, there is no in between I'm so sick and tired of this shit.

>>532037538
I run pistols and can kill most people with them while naked due to the instant ADS and no recoil

>t. 5000 hours running nothing but Glock 17/18 and the occasional Rhino

>>532037538

>>532057190
I believe it was the lower portion, just beneath the large room with metal walkways that connects to the outside area through the broken windows. The lower portion itself has large boilers? I think with this capybara grafitti in it.
But I'd check the entire place if you can't find the drill, there should be a lot of potential spawns.

>>532077652
>better hope you don't run into anyone more than 20m
I typically don't when im just farming the hidden caches and weapon boxes thst are along the way. The pistol is really there to drop scavs and as a last resort self defense tool.

The beauty of it is that it holds like 10 mags with of ammo with out occupying any of your slots.

I usually wear the grenadier harness and the smallest, but most spacious back pack I have to maximize the amount of bullshit I can leg back to extract without being seen.

I have returned to tarkov since I stopped playing in 2019. Back then I could of swore BT was good at lvl 4 armor pen, but jesus christ look at this.

What are the new go to ammos for early wipe?

>>532082732
no other early ammo would have saved u there if he was wearing t5 or ur aim is just shit
just aim head level next time noob

>>532082732
Since it's hard to get level 4 now, 30+ pen is usually good enough. There's no easily accessible 40+ anymore unless you get lucky finding 5.45 BP

you're just an exploitive nigger, afraid of an actual challenge (hardcore wipe)

the 100% spawnrate was part of the hardcore wipe.
hate the game not the playa
not my fault niggerkita is incapable of balancign "boss" gear

bosses should always be 100% regardless, they should just have great gear less often

Personally I'm enjoying the noticeable drop in one shots from the other side of the world now that no one has scopes or good ammo.

>>532114890
I'm actually fine with not having level 3 yet, but I do think there should be more barters for items, and the rest of the level 1 traders should be opened up to 2

>>532141020
i decided to give it another try this wipe and every game i played was the same sweatlord experience of angle holding + insta head taps, with the only difference being that i was stuck at a constant 120+ ping every game.

the M67s are the hardest part. i only have like 5 and there is not barter for them until PK ll2 gets unlocked.

What's the point of the sako over the axmc?

>just want to farm some impact grenades because I'm two kills away from completing grenadier
>gluhar guard noclips through a wall and magdumps me
i hate grenadier i hate bosses i hate reserve

>>532155243
There really isn't one. It can achieve slightly higher muzzle velocity and better MOA than the AXMC, but it really doesn't matter. Even the extra ergo is useless because you'll have overswing due to weight no matter what. They really need to rework the quest that unlocks it, it's ridiculous.

>>532152451
>every game i played was the same sweatlord experience of angle holding + insta head taps
Literally just have to play long enough to get Level 20/25 to get guns worth using to copy them which is sad

>>532157506
>Even the extra ergo is useless because you'll have overswing due to weight no matter what.
this is why I even asked. I just grinded all day to unlock it and I was shocked to see the overswing was worse.

Pro gamer tips that i felt like sharing here because i haven't seen anyone else mention them:
ground zero lobbies are no longer separated by lvls
pscavs seem to spawn in large waves now, as opposed to individually within a given time window(seems to be around the 25 min mark for most maps)
you can convert useless EUR into RUB easily by buying markers from ragman
Ref currently buys guns and gun accessories for more than mechanic
don't accept the quest reward "the eye" from mechanic because it's useless and there is no way to remove it from your inventory.

thankyou for coming to my ted talk

whats the scav cooldown now? are scav mains back? did they beg nikita to reduce the timer so they can play their little "see number go up" game

>>532161929
>did they beg nikita to reduce the timer so they can play their little "see number go up" game
pretty much
a lot of people like pretending to play tarkov, for some reason

>>532161929
like 40 minutes for me, last i checked
>are scav mains back?
they never left

>>532158698
m4 with basic attachments, a silencer and holo is all you need to stomp lobbies if you dont suck
i'm not harping on you for that cause spending the time to be good at tarkov isn't something anyone with a brain would want, but no you have everything you need right off the bat with arena

https://x.com/layer_cake/status/1947052033258697215
And you faggots shit on me for pscavving on pvp

>>532161929
I'd argue that pscavs are the most powerful they've ever been
They took a small nerf to the timer but they still spawn with free kits that are super valuable now and still get to loot the entire map for free
Meanwhile PMCs got kneecapped and have to pay 40k in meds only, +40k more if they die and need the post-raid healing

>>532078698
true, the more you play this game the more you realize what a waste of a time EFT is, literally 0 respect for players time, they added minor QoL changes that a random modder could implement in 15 minutes after 7 years of development

Finally a successful raid, got daily and tarkov shooter 1 done by plinking sniper scavs on the dam. Also not the worst loot considering I brought only vpo and a shitty armor vest. Now I just need to sell 600k worth of garbage to jaeger for lvl 2

I got lit up by a duo of BEARs, but I lived and got them both because they were using 5.45 AKs!

>pscavs seem to spawn in large waves now,
I knew it. Too many times I've been on GZ with 9 minutes left to go when I drop a scav whose fully decked out in loot. Yesterday while i was looting a pair of PMCs I ended up head tapping a scav who wandered into me, no audio queue and full of loot.

>>532187425
Yeah, except pscavs can't spawn on GZ now.

>>532187425
no pscavs on gz anymore

I was buying them earlier today, I only run M4's so I should know

>>532201731
that was new for this wipe then. weird
it's hard-wired into my brain to pick up 30 rounders for m4s and 7.62 AKs early wipe for a reason

now im forced to farm lighthouse rogues god damn it i hate my stupid chud life i have over 20 M4's in my inventory stacked

>>532200829
20s not bad if you have good shot placement, but its not fucking 30 thats for sure.

>>532199292

Finally played on Customs after a long hiatus on GZ. It's like Vietnam, there is gun fire and explosions coming from every direction. The second you fire your gun player scavs and PMCs come running with reckless abandon.

It's got my blood flowing, but I cant get anything fucking done. I'm getting bogged down quick. I stopped brining in a back pack, I feel like I don't have time to loot. I'm just dropping what ever comes my way, taking tags or searching pockets, and moving the fuck on.

I can see why people like full lobbies now, but I've got too much anxiety.

I got that Temu Teem thanks to Chang.

After I noob tubed chang 1 in the car dealership. I started to head downstairs for that loot. Surprise chang in my face. Shoot him int he face and realize its a tagilla helmet. Transfer to his leg. My 20 round mp5 was a bad choice. I dip back around the corner. Chang has blacked my tummy with his svt. i got around the corner. whole body is red and I have a heavy bleed. Emergency reload and chang turns the corner. I blast his legs again and he goes down. Heal up and loot the dead chang. As i leave a Noob starts blasting my ass with a shotty. To bad i have armor now. turn around and delete him. Got lucky he didnt hit my vulnerable nape. Investigate the dealership. Find Chang 1. More OP gear. Slowly walk over to emercom and extract. blasting everything in my way knowing I am completely invincible.

>>532208215
yowzzza every time I wear armor like that I still get instant tapped in some vulnerable spot without fail

>>532208215
Well done anon

>looted the ENTIRE smugglers camp on Snoreline

I love my lil stechkin, she never fails me. Soon I will have brapor2 and she will be even better! Remember kids, she can be yours too for 1 bolt, and 140 PstM ammo for 1 kite gunpowder

what is this? you got lucky you played vs a retard

the first "hardcore" wipe and the gap between shitters (like /eftg/) and chad has never been bigger.
chad farms boss 10 times and becomes unkillable with t5 and BT/BP versus the default ammo and t4 of the shitter

>>532183920
anyone confirm? m4 has been available from the start every single arena wipe so far, i don't see why they'd change it for this one

Because teamfight is absolute crap and I dont play CS

>>532238559
CS has degraded to a point where I honestly consider it as a sidegrade to whatever the fuck Arena is.

>>532238906
pure cope, even in its current state arena is 1 10th the game cs is

>>532238906
I do agree that CS isn't what it used to be, but it's still a work of art compared to Arena what the fuck man.

>>532238941
>>532239018
If you play the team modes without friends? Sure, but it's still the choice between watching paint dry and watching flies fuck.

INSANE loot, idk what happened but I;ve never had pscav raid so quiet. AI scavs were everywhere. I guess all pmcs died out early but I haven't seen any bodies

>>532259020
can you name a single thing? cuz its not tarkov, cs2 or posting itt

Where can I find bronze lion? I need it for docs case barter

>>532273921
Stashes, safes, dead Scavs, duffle bags... I literally just found one in a random duffle last raid.
That being said, don't sweat it about the docs case, I don't think it's THAT important this wipe, you can just bring a normal keytool and shove intel folders up your ass anyway.

>>532274568
I wanted it instead of key case since I haven't found tank battery either. Fuck I wish I had gamma container to shove the lion up my ass

>>532274785
You can buy the key case for cash from LL2 Therapist

>>532270221
I think its raids where PMC players are there to a quest and leave before getting griefed for the 4th time or maybe they find a really vital piece of life out loot early on. These are things that will get me in and out of a raid asap atleast.

>>532274958
It costs way too much right now, but it doesn't matter now since I found it literally next raid in some random duffle bag kek

>notice you can craft Kvass in the hideout
>oh nice I can use that to get Tac30s from Jager
>realize the ingredients cost almost 200k per scope
I guess I'll just wait for Ref 3...

This game was better when player scavs fought each other.

the game was better when scav cucks had 2h cooldown

>>532276021
Fuck really? I thought it'd be cheaper
I found this barter when I was checking something else so if you've upgraded illumination to max you can stockpile ls lamps for that

post pmc to scav raid ratio right now

60 scav raids 0 pmc raids

>>532289116
107 PMC - 35 Scav

>>532289013
I'm just spamming customs, zero queue time, rarely do you find pmcs that will contest you. It's a good map to find hideout upgrade items since there are a lot of toolboxes, some technical crates, some weapon cases, a few duffel bags. Depending on which side of the map I spawn I go to the yellow areas and loot whole buildings, then if my bag isn't full yet I go to the new building marked with red, especially the metal scaffolding which no one loots. Then there is the skeleton building next to it with a duffel bag, technical crate and 2 weapon boxes.
>>532289116

I love drum mags so fucking much.

Watching people panic in the middle of a fire fight once they realize that you don't need to reload never gets old. I just died to a duo, but I made them both turn around, run, and go full rat mode in a corner.

When can I buy drum mags for AKs from traders? I cant get enough of it.

1.0 will be the same buggy cheater infested game but 1.0

If I'm doing tarkov shooter 3 on factory should I run full kits like this or just stick to vpo, random rig and a class 2 armor?

1.0 will be the same buggy cheater infested no QoL cheating AI trash netcode game but 1.0

>>532293105
FUCK didn't attach pic

Buying Peacekeeper's CAT tourniquets instead of regular purple esmarches is especially important in this wipe, I think!

>>532293474
>purple esmarches
I'm colorblind but there is no way it's purple. What kind of deep fried post fx you have that it's purple to you?

I'm thankful for pscavs no longer spawning with rounds like AP-M and BCP FMJ in their guns!

>>532293105
>>532293312
Just run the cheap level 2 green armor from Prapor or barter for a PACA with half masks from Fence, don't use the VPO, use a Mosin with SP BT, it will one shot through a PACA, .366 FMJ won't.

Keep in mind that, as a player scav that spawns with a large stack of roubles, you can use map transits to loot 2 maps per run!

I wonder how the sweats are completing Pharmacist when Dorm key 114's jacket no longer even spawns

The VPO is so bad for sniping, and I can't even buy any decent optics, just give me Prapor 3 already, I beg you...

>>532294085
Fuck, I wanted to do it with vpo since it's cheaper and I have to increase trading volume with jaeger but I didn't know that one shot you've mentioned. Guess I'll try doing it with mosin after I die with my vpo. I'm only 200k roubles away from jaeger ll2 anyways

>>532290497
Sniper scav or player?

>>532298363
It was the off-map sniper

1.0 will fix literally everything

>>532301340
no it won't but I'm okay with that

does 1.0 imply no more content?

FUCKING FINALLY

>>532302191
It just means in a year or two they'll call the next major update 2.0

1.0 will give us the hideout cat

1.0 will give us the femscav dungeon

1.0 will give us nothing and lower FPS even further

1.0 will just uninstall the game and pop up "Congratulations! You escaped from Tarkov"

Wearing the GSSh headset on Customs really makes you feel like you're in a frickin' wind tunnel

Now why are the ultra short fuse F1 grenades still in the game, and identical to the standard ones to boot?

Even the player scavs are in teams of fucking 5

>>532309329

To give a bit of something to Partizan since outside of his (nerfed) bag he didn't really have much in terms of unique shit (ribbon AK stock).
Why you get just 1 is kinda a ??? thing

>>532309329
Because tripwires unironically needed a buff.

>>532310058
I've thrown at least 2 of them now without seeing Partizan around. I think they're in the common grenade loot pool, you see

>>532310910
Are they? Weird, can't say I've seen them but perhaps I was just very non-observant/not searching grenade boxes often enough.

>>532310058
>>532310910
You can find them in grenade boxes, I found one today.

>>532311047
weird, I guess I just assumed they were Partizan only due to their description mentioning him hand-modifying the fuse and the wiki not specifically saying anything elsewise as for where you nab em.

>>532311184
Maybe he just likes to leave them around for players to find like little easter eggs.

Jaeger should have a barter for Partizan F1s (requires standard F1 plus something else) because he's canonically friends with Partizan.

I really like how tarkov has about a 20% chance to completely crash my computer. Its currently mid tier hardware running a decade old game. Amazing.

Near 1 to 1

I usually have really good scav raids, then I load the pmc down with some one elses kit, then run a raid and then take a break while i wait for energy and hydration to refill. Rinse repeat. I like playing with some one else's kit, when you die its no skin off your back. When you extract its all gravy. I've been in class 4 armor with 35+ pen ammunition for the majority of my pmc raids.

u fukken wot m8
it was definitely empty in the raid I found it, too, even checked

Loaded into a scav raid with 30 fps and find that there are only Pscavs in this instance

goodbye bros

>>532319531
I tried it for a bit
It's a few hours of fun, but utterly soulless

>>532319531
Is there any benefit of going to the Sloppycat Clone?

>>532324814
It's "free" (there is more pay to win than Tarkov though)
It's scalable so runs better than Tarkov on worse hardware, still imperfect performance though
It's something different for a while I guess but the maps are pretty small and nothing like as detailed as tapkob so they get boring faster
Easier to play casually because of auto matchmaking, no friendly fire and team markers, but whether this is a positive or not is obviously case by case
I think it's worth trying if only to get some perspective, but you almost certainly won't stick with it for long

I found a 9mm Rhino the other day and took it as a backup gun on my next raid. Loaded it with Pst Gzh I had lying around. Unloaded it after the raid to sell and I got 5 of M882 and 6 Pst gzh cartridges. Wild.

>>532332836
I think revolvers might be intended to be found loaded but they just fucked up the code (what a surprise for BSG), I found another RSh and it was also phantom-loaded

I think PVE got patched with some kind of modern AI miss chance mechanics. You know, the kind where even if you get hit, the game does another roll to check if it deals damage or not. I'm intentionally getting hit to farm vitality and damage some armored rigs for Ragman's quest, but probably 66% of scav shots don't do damage to me. Some of the shots even have buffs of blood appear right in front of my vision, which seems to imply the hit should've been a headshot. On the other hand, PMCs were still two tapping me in one shot from the front through a tier 4 face mask, tier 3 soft neck, and a tier 6 front plate.

>>532334867
Did you try shooting it in raid? I wonder if the bullets would magically spawn after fired.

>>532336459
I didn't, but I don't think it would fire. I think the game logic for a magazine still exists in revolver entities, but there's no logic by which a revolver can access its 'magazine' since they use a bunch of discrete chambers. Guns never spawn with loaded chambers in containers after all

Had some fun on woods today, saw the BTR run an ai scav and laughed my ass off. Also managed a rare 1tap with a boltie, yes I am that bad with them. Final part of the clip is dabbing on this 3k hour chad, got stirrup done QUICK this wipe thanks to my stechkinfu. He was geared to the teeth, though not geared enough I suppose. He was injured coming into that clip because we danced a bit a minute earlier, apparently the nade I threw at him through the bushes met its mark. Then I ended up going the opposite way around the lake and met him on the other side at this outcrop. He was not prepared!

Yeah I made it out but if I had died right then and there I would have uninstalled the fucking game. Playing Arena made me realize how fucking bad the average player is and that they actively try to avoid legitimate combat unless if they get the jump on you, so they just camp corners still and quietly for 60% of their matches and as a result I've grown to resent the core gameplay loop of Tarkov despite sort of liking it for so long.

>>532378727
>they actively try to avoid legitimate combat unless if they get the jump on you
Wow, it's almost as if they're playing a survival game...

Had 40 min left to complete 2 dailies involving killing scavs and I've barely made it. The last 2 kills were pscavs jumping around stronghold GET FUCKED NIGGERS, GO BACK TO PLAYING PMC

What's your guys' highest killcount in FFA? I think my most was 70 something before ammo crates got added.

>>532393767
the fuck am I looking at? Tarkov mode in roblox?

>>532394000
I think that's from when I played with mipmapping enabled, before realizing that not a single graphic option in this game really does anything to help.

The game seems to know when you need something and doesnt spawn it. Went from woods to customs to shoreline to do five quests. Had to finish at three because the game stopped spawning any drinks and only spawned food that took away hydration. Fucking Nikita make it harder to spawn shit you need to make it longer.

I got 61 twice, but one of them was with Scout which is a noob class so it doesn't count.

Take the 16-round 9x18mm ammo packs out of the game!

mounting on certain corners in arena is sleeper op, gives you some serious map control and makes you hard to hit

>>532425956
I have never seen something make so sense and yet so useless ever added to any game ever in my life.

taking a PACA and a Kedr into every raid for 30 levels straight is not a lot of fun desu

>>532428456
it's genuinely situationally useful in arena but yeah in general it's not worth considering pretty much ever. Still, I'm really glad they put it in along with left shouldering, it's cool.

8 kills away from being done with the arena event so i can finally go back to playing the real game

>>532424760
NO
>t. APS enjoyer

this has been pretty wild
two from dorms marked room and green came from Partizan. Too bad I died with the Red card though so its no longer FiR for flex

I have a huge stock pile of guns, armor, and med kits. I'm down to 300k rubles though. I like running my PMC, but its a money sink. Even on good raids Im not breaking even as a solo player unless I spend the raid hiding and looting like a paranoid little goblin.

I need some one to watch my back while I comb dead guys for loot.

Scav mains rise up

I just installed SPT, spent 0 dollars on "PvE" mode that should have been free. It's just as good as actual Tarkov and I don't get beamed by chang and Ivan with rage cheats. Everyone still playing PvP Tarkov is a complete fucking moron, it's beyond salvaging. And if you paid for PvE lmfao the mod is right there.

>>532448495
>And if you paid for PvE lmfao the mod is right there
only agreeable part. still a shitter.

>>532448915
Yes because it's a far superior experience to learn how to PvP in this game only to be fucked sideways anyway by the endless tide of RMT vacuum looters and aimbot bugmen.

>>532448495
No matter how I config spt, the bots feel like shit and have tons of issues, especially with spawning and their gear. I've tried every mod out there and it's always a compromise. The game runs pretty bad because I'm hosting on my own pc and it crashes randomly during raids, and often when starting raids. Every single time spt updates to a new version it runs worse (base tarkov issue) and modders take time to update, if they even decide to. No matter what anyone says, spt is not "superior" in any way to actual pvp.
-t ~2k hours between pve and spt

Also, complaining about getting beamed by cheaters is really fucking rich considering all of the bots see through fences/glass/bushes/trees and even with mods you can only limit the bullshit lasering through them

>>532449102
Yes anon, everyone is cheating. None of your deaths are your fault. Now run along and go play against your bot friends.

>>532415959
Call me crazy but my loot immediately got a lot better after I updated to PfE edition

>>532448495
I think ive only gotten cheated on two or three times so far this wipe.

I'm pretty elusive and can get the jump on most people, but every now and then the second i scope in on some one they 180 and tap in me the face or if I'm taking a break to reload/med/eat/drink i can hear some from a distance running to my position with zero doubts where i am, no checking corners, no nothing.

>head,eyes'd through a level 4 facemask by a single .366 TKM FMJ
Thank you nigkita very cool

so how exactly are you supposed to get delivery from the past done on factory when the entire population there is just cheaters and squads farming tagilla on repeat
every person that has killed me trying to get this done has a minimum of 20 raids survived in a row

>>532451083
Full squad of 5 homies, own the lobby.

>>532451083
>survived in a row
meaningless stat. SR in general is not indicative of cheating but high kills/KD with low hours/raids + high SR usually is.

and to answer your question, find a group in the tarkov team finder server
