I love the useless little rail that sits on a B&T MP9 for lights and shit but here is just an unusable part of the model. Why the fuck did they use the suppressor from a totally different gun? Did they think they were the same thing somehow?

>>538486113
>Why the fuck did they use the suppressor from a totally different gun? Did they think they were the same thing somehow?
I mean they have the same name, some noguns retard chink probably just googled "MP9 suppressor model" and downloaded the first result.

FUCKING REMOVE THIS DOGSHIT NIGGER FAGGOT CUNT QUEST FROM THE GAME

New infos on 1.0 when? They only showed Terminal it seems, I can't believe that's the only new stuff planned, they teased in-game traders, task overhauls, there's still unimplemented skills.

>>538490636
They probably won't show much until the next event, maybe some cryptic Nikita tweets like usual, that's about it.

>spawn on the other end of Woods
>hear Shturman magdumping 30 seconds into the raid every time
>spawn Outskirts/attachments hut 3 times in a row
>sawmill is empty
Absolutely organic gameplay not rigged in any way shape or form whatsoever.

>>538490636
We've seen teasers of the former, task overhaul is mainly going to relate to main story stuff they probably don't want to spoil prematurely, I imagine some of the skills will be in and the rest will be chopped
I'm guessing within two or three weeks we'll see a little more in-depth of a teaser for 1.0, apparently they showed off the trailer at pax to the streamerfags

Opachki

>>538490636
I don't care about all of that. Where's my gopnik tracksuit that Nikita teased a while back?

Please god no. Don't give him any ideas.

>>538510525
Bold of you to assume it wasn't planned for Arena to begin with (they need a carrot on a stick to get people to play their dead shit side game). Be forever grateful to Nikita for allowing you to use the outfits in the real game, you can thank him by purchasing The Unheard Edition.

These threads always die off late wipe and the hardcore wipe already reduced the player base to a 10th its normal size.

That's a double report, and you know it.

Anon late wipe starts after like 24 hours.

>>538535104
absolutely, i feel like the 95 round meme mag is what would seal it

will 1.0 save tarkov?

will it save the game? obviously not.
will it have a bunch of bald boomers with arthritis whose livelihood depend on it have basedfacing all over social media? definitely.

>>538546264
Stomping steam timmies will be fun, so maybe for like one more wipe.

I'm almost at test drive bros

anyone have the discord invite link for the homo tranny grooming server?

>>538568874
You mean the discord filled with amerimutts and Slavic "people" that cheat and boast about it?
I think they revoked all the invites

>>538546620
And I will be among them. Reaching 1.0 is a pretty huge deal, it's been so long. All I want is to be able to escape Tarkov.
Terminal sounds like it's gonna be fun and I'm actually hyped to go up against Black Division.

>>538587826
>slapping a different version number on the same unfinished product and calling it finished is a big deal
why are boomers so retarded?

>>538590392
we can escape tarkov (in game) right now? can you post a detailed guide? How do queue up for terminal?

I'm dreaming but I really hope they've secretly been working on a campaign mode for Tarkov. I want a BFBC2 style romp with a crew of well written characters that compliments my intended playstyle.

also got TS8 in my first try today, so I've been on cloud 9. I'm not looking forward to Pun6, PS, or Test Drives. VPO/Mosin cheap. specialized gun quests with inflated market, bad.

>>538607937
i'm still dreading trying to get grenadier done
i fucking hate grenades with a burning passion

>>538490470
And of COURSE that nigger was cheating too. Thank you so much for the 54k roubles, Nikita, really feeling compensated for getting cucked out of a dogshit quest.

>>538614357
I do too. what really helped this time around was focusing on shooting the legs first then tossing a grenade from factory rafters. It's stupid, and simple, but I'll be damned if it doesn't work. Just spam it with cheap kits, bring two or three nades and have patience for the moment.

>>538615491
kek that's fucking devious, definitely going to be trying that

What the fuck is this shit, I've never had it happen before. Also a few times I double left clicked something in the hideout it put it in my backpack, which should not happen either, but I can't seem to reproduce that one.

The 2 months long battlepass is finally going to end after 6 months.
This roadmap was posted yesterday and I have not seen anyone talk about it anywhere Arena is such a fucking dead game lmao.

Lighthouse has been good to me lately. Too bad Knight fucked off somewhere and never showed up again.

I haven't played Tarkov since before Streets was released. Never really did serious questing, just played solo to find cool guns. Thinking about jumping back in again, is this a good idea? Y/N

>>538783341
Y

>>538783379
That was a very fast response, but I'm not sure if I can trust the word of just one anon.

>>538784372
No but like seriously, why would it be a bad idea? Either you jump back in and have fun, or you can always quit if you don't enjoy it.

>>538784529
I just don't want to waste my time. Is the game still as buggy as it was before Streets released?

>>538784796
>I just don't want to waste my time
Anon, videogames are a waste of time by definition, also we are talking about a videogame that deletes your progress every 6 months.
>Is the game still as buggy as it was before Streets released?
Yeah there are still bugs, obviously a lot of stuff from pre-Streets got fixed, I can't think of anything gamebreaking tho, it's mostly annoying errors in stash.

>>538785123
>videogames are a waste of time by definition
Not to me.
>can't think of anything gamebreaking tho
Sounds good to me, then. Thanks for replying, bro.

>>538783341
a lot has been added/changed since then, i would give it a go.

>>538785345
Anytime, anon.

>>538783341
yes, do it.

i know what you're fucking doing.

>PK lvl2 spend requirement dropped to $16k
FINALLY A POORFAG LIKE ME HAS UNLOCKED PK2

It's so fucking aids that the 30rd 556mags have been locked behind lvl2. At this point I guess they've rolled back literally every hardcore change besides secure container rules and the flea lvl requirement. Hardcore was super fun at the start of wipe but it feels just normal now.

PKM kinda dirty on last hero

>>538765809
The thing is I like Arena but they keep leaning in the wrong direction. Focusing on fast paced 5v5 matches when they should've just ripped off infantry only Battlefield and turned it into BEAR v USEC eastern v western gear instead

>>538485892 (OP)
Gas blocks with integrated front sights make me sick!

The sissyfication of the "hardcore" wipe continues.

>>538859013
Kind of silly that they haven't just reverted everything completely. It's just cringe calling it a hardcore wipe now.

>13 hits with BP to kill a guy wearing a Bagariy
5.45 is so fucking bad.

>>538783341
no. the game is in a shitty state.
wait for 1.0 (which changes nothing) and then still don't.

>>538859013
hardcore was only cool when the wipe was still fresh and ll4 traders were still locked. not much point to keep artificially gating the few specific trader items everyone grinds ll4 for.

>Birdshit pushes me
>the other two are nowhere to be seen for the whole raid
It's supposed to be the other way around for fucks sake, I only need to kill Knight.

Holy mental illness.

willerz soft walls and you can't convince me otherwise

>>538891245
We don't have to, it's obvious big streamers cheat, high level streaming is the gaming equivalent of wrestling, everything you see is staged.

Genuinely sad that people can poopsock through the game THREE fucking times, yet still absolutely shit their diapers and be too afraid to move for half of the raid.

>>538654982
I'm free...
It was actually not bad at all, way better than Test Drive 2

>>538891378
DesmondPilak does NOT cheat, not even softly.
I think how frequently a streamer gets ratted is a good metric to tell whether they're a slimey little nigger or not, and most big name TTVers seem to never get caught off guard.
>>538924729
bout that time of wipe i reckon

>>538899392
the entire test drive questline should either include scavs or at the very fucking least bosses + guards
ridiculous set of tasks that only serve to exist as an exercise in frustration and siphoning of funds

I love how the sound is so fucking garbage in certain places that I just killed three pmcs in the same spot, shooting upward from underground at the factory office stairs

>>538926084
>DesmondPilak does NOT cheat
Having people constantly drop you gear and queueing on your servers to feed you quest kills is also cheating.
>I think how frequently a streamer gets ratted is a good metric
Low IQ take, it's very obvious they are trying to hide the fact that they are cheating but purposefully running into people.

MOST FUCKING INCOMPETENT DEVELOPERS ON THE PLANET

>>538938348
i've had several encounters this wipe alone with scavs that are shooting at me for a solid 5+ seconds before i can even figure out where they are because the audio completely breaks in some particular spots
i don't even get a mad anymore, it's just what i've come to expect

>>538983162
2 more months, trust the plan.

>>538952780
name a better metric then, retard. stats can be skewed as fuck, cheats nearly impossible to detect, and any competent, semi-decent streamer can hide it to their viewers. sure, they can just intentionally throw themselves to the wolves to make it look legit but are they going to be doing that as frequently as a legit streamer? probably not.

>>538984824
Easiest way to tell if someone is cheating is just by how they present themselves to their audience. The top 100 global 1337 gaymer who streams 14 hours a day on top form is probably cheating. The guy who doesn't take things too seriously and can carry things on a charismatic personality probably isn't

lol

>>539004894
You had 9 seconds to kill him and you didn't. You only have yourself to blame.

Why is there even a timer on hideout upgrades? F2P Mobile game design.

>>539011146
Anything to gatekeep mentally ill poopsockers is objectively good.

>>539004894
Should have hit his big toe with 32+1 RIP rounds, what can I say

>>539011309
Poopsockers don't even bother with hideout stuff, they just farm Raiders and Rogues for infinite money.

>>539011698
You need a bunch of stuff in the hideout to prestige.

>>539012193
that's why they lose their minds when the flea market is brought up.

No punishment is too harsh for he who brings desert camo to the Baltic

>>539020458
But nothing is as satisfiyng and righteous as fucking someone up so bad he has to back up and then rushing him to shoot him with your pistol.

>>539020529
It's the same if you decide on being a little green man.

>>539020645
You know what, you are right.

Using sub 30 pen ammo in Arena makes it really obvious how absolutely shit this game is when everyone has tier 5 armor. The game is unplayable for new players 1 month into a wipe.

>>539025704
t. aimlet

>>539025954
I was using the klin with the 28 pen ammo and was supervised at how bad it was against enforcer guys. If they had their back to me it felt like i had to go for leg shots. Can't tap their chonky helmet and mag dumping the back results in them turning around before the armor fails. Then of course a new plate to chew through. It just doesn't work. Also CQC masks everyone wears will occasional tank a HS. Gonna try the PPSH next

>>539027569
>28 pen ammo
>in a Klin
There's your problem. You're supposed to shred kneecaps with SP7. Same gameplan applies to the PPSh with LRNPC.

>>539025704
All they have to do is take velocity into account for penetration but they wont because it'd make all the high end helmets worthless.

>>539025954
>he even uses the doorkicker in arena
i respect your commitment. i am a blue beret enjoyer myself.

PPSH felt a little better because of the 70 rounds. HS are even more unreliable with the 25 pen. Your just better off going for legs. Like i said new fags on tarkov have no chance. Even if they can HS it's not a guarantee they will pen with the start ammo and body shots will be useless against tier 5. Your just fucked in a straight up fight. Most probably don't realize they need to shoot fro the legs. No wonder people just stop playing when they fall behind the poopsockers. Why bother always fighting an uphill battle just for the game to wipe when you get to that even footing

>>539030531
I run helmets on Assault sometimes, but the Door Kicker/Chimera/plain ol' PMC baseball caps are peak headgears. Berets on BEARs are also acceptable.

thinking of doing another SPT run, but not enough mods have been released since my last playthrough to want to give it a go. wish modders had figured out how to create playable levels beyond meme maps like gm_construct - I feel the lack of map variety really hampers the replayability. shit, even something like just remixing maps and adding/removing objects could freshen it up.

No, you are the outlier. People like you who nolife online games are the ones who are killing online gaming in general.
Not everyone should have 8000 hours in one game. You could have learned to play a fucking piano with those hours instead of some stupid fps game.

>>539102451
capturing points doesn't require 8000 hours of gameplay anon

the problem is precisely the faggots who play checkpoint to K/D farm

Every day for the past week i've had a daily to extract through courtyard on streets and my last weekly was the same thing. maybe give players maps and extracts that they enjoy using instead of obviously skewing quests just to even out whatever statistical heatmap the devs are looking at.

>>539106501
Yep, at least as close as I can get without a suit jacket.

Fastest use med + cheapest, I don't see a reason to use anything else in Arena.

I'm planning on going to the Tarkov booth at Paris Games Week in late October. What am I in for?
Last time I saw the Tarkov guys was at the Arena booth during Gamescom 2023 and they gave me a couple stickers and codes for some in-game items. (pic related)
