So even though I swore that I was done with this game after the latest round of Nikita actively sabotaging his game I saw some friends playing and started another wipe. I decided to see if my old player scav ultra-safe loot runs were still viable and they definitely are. So I'm reposting this although since I don't have access to the flew market yet I'm sure the values on some of the items I've mentioned no longer apply.Ice Fist posted:So while I was sitting around this weekend, waiting out a snow storm preventing me from driving home I wrote an effort post guide about what I do with these scav runs. So here... have at it: The added benefit is that stashes were buffed I guess? Now they drop rigs and armor. In a raid on customs I found a Zhuk6a whatever armor and on the next on shoreline I found a slick vest. So stashes still own. If you want to loot and chill doing the above never hurts.

I prefer Interchange since outside is usually deserted except for raid end and start, but yeah, I highly recommend it. if you do Interchange, don't forget to check the stairs spot for extract campers. got a free m1a and thermal from that

mysteryberto posted:Hilarious too since the other post in this thread is with a kedr. I do know you can get down from the sniper scav spot in woods because people glitch their way onto the rocks up top. It's no glitch you can literally just walk your lil self up there, theres some sweet spots on Shoreline as well

Hidden stashes have gotten even better now that you can find high end helmets and armor. I pulled a Slick out of one a couple days ago and I'm currently drowning in level 4 helmets.

I've been having some bad luck in my scav runs. Past 5 runs all ended with me getting shot in the face. I am not even mad or upset, people just got the jump on me. But, it does suck getting one shot again and again.

Got some awful desync. Spawned in PMC with a pistol, was definitely cursed because a SCAV just sprinted at from outside the building I spawned in. Got 7 shots off to the chest, followed by one solid headshot, all point blank. Then I randomly died. Stats page only showed me landing one shot for 36 damage. Lame. How often does this happen? It's a serious bummer given how high the stakes are.

It's way better than it used to be, this last patch as really improved general performance.

In all my SCAV runs I've never had this happen before. I tried to knife another SCAV to death and was put down quickly.

Check your containers so you don't pee a little when you open one post raid and realize what could have happened. I went into Customs with nothing but a Mosin cuz I needed to kill sniper scavs. I got the one on the smokestack and the one on top of Warehouse 17, then figured I'd just run around looking for trouble cuz it was no biggie if I died. Managed to kill a PMC with a Pilgrim and a scav vest so all of a sudden I had a huge backpack and could try to take some stuff out with me. But he wasn't wearing any armor so I was still naked. The tree behind old gas had a Blackrock under it and I scooped it up without looking inside. Grabbed some other stuff on the way out and I wasn't being too careful cuz I wasn't that worried about losing the piddly poo poo I had. But all went well and I extracted safely. The Blackrock had every single slot filled with items, including a blue keycard. I could have lost that fuckin thing without ever knowing I had it.

Unpopular opinion, I wish they didn't add the items case because picking up a Red Keycard during a game and having to extract with it alive is the best rush ever.

So something weird just happened to me, the game took forever to load and when it did I was clocking 20 fps. I usually get around 120 fps. This happen to anyone else? Nothing else was running in the background.

What's the current take on scav karma? I see that it's "in progress" but have the devs talked about it explicitly?

It was a sort of goofy off the wall idea in the past but now that they've got all the fantasy stuff in like buff potions and enchantments on items and stuff its probably actually gonna happen and be really dumb.

A fellow scav popped me at an exit last night when I had a loaded bag and I was thinking that was a hilariously evil idea. probably not viable though depending on how stringent their karma penalties are

Anybody else do this? Pistol cases sell for 20-30k on the flea market, as nobody uses them. But they are a godsend for reserve money runs. This was a pretty 'meh' haul as I spawned away from all the good ammo spawns, but that's still 160k in ammo (and a vog). Pretty good for effectively taking 4 slots in your backpack. I've had runs where I stuffed over 400k worth of ammo in that little pistol case. Some runs you have to either drop the pistol case (and get it back in insurance) or fill it with your own mags to gain space for other items, but just filling it stacks of BT ammo is enough to add quite a bit of profit to an already juicy run. It works well in labs too. Kill a PMC and you're bound to get a few expensive M4/HK or AS VAL magazines, or stacks of M61s, M995s, etc. Nevermind raider ammo. Put all that in your trusty pistol case and you save so much space for other goodies.

I’m just getting started with this game. I’ve only got about 5 hours of play time so far, so I’m predictably terrible. I don’t think I’m getting any better, though. Definitely getting dropped frequently by Scavs offline. Can anyone refer me to some streamers that have good content for beginners? I’ve watched a few videos, but they’re all like “36 INS@NE TIPS 4 EFT BEGINNERS, OWN CHADS!” Something like a full walkthrough of a raid in Customs would be fantastic. I want to play with goons eventually, but I don’t have headset so it would probably be kind of lame to not be able to ask questions and communicate. I should just get a drat headset since playing WITH people was one of the attractive things about this game.

Try Karmakut's playthrough if you want to watch somebody who's starting fresh and talks through what he's doing and why pretty well. Pestily's raid series is pretty good too but don't try to play like him, he's reckless and while it seems to work for him it absolutely will not for a noob. You will want a mic if you're gonna play with other people. And you ARE getting better, you're just not gonna feel like it for awhile. I was in the same place you are a few months ago. This is not a game you can learn without going in and just doing it and that means a lot of dying and feeling humiliated. Figure out what you did wrong each time or what you could have done better, because there's always something. Run your scav as much as you can and always always always go for headshots.

There is no replacement for just playing the game. Preferably in a group. You can watch all the videos you want, but even watching walkthrough vids or whatever won't create the sense of direction you'll develop as you play. Get a headset. Get on Discord. That being said, if you really want to watch a good newbie friendly streamer I don't think there is one better at explaining what he is doing than Deadlyslob.

Here's the last DevBlog, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IT0AZSLGHGs Things we know, - A few new guns and gear - Woods Rework with Expansion - Working on a lot of bugs - trying to fix perf, desync, exploits, etc. - Rework of optics - General progress going well but it doesn't seem like 12.9 with Streets will happen until next year

This is to stop people attempting to sync drop (start the raid at the same time) with non-found in raid items and trying to put that status back on them. Are sync drops still viable?

sephiRoth IRA posted:Are guns I pick up off pmcs I kill considered found in raid? Dont get hung up on the flavor text with that item enchantment, it has almost nothing to do with raids or finding an item in a raid. There is a narrow set of circumstances where the enchantment will be applied to an item you actually found in a raid 1) no PMC brought the item in and 2) you dont die and 3) you remain in the raid for at least ten minutes or 4) you reach some arbitrary threshold of xp points gained during the raid Most items which bear that enchantment dont come from raids at all, they are things you 'craft' in your hideout or that you win in the loot slot machine in your hideout.
