They actually added a captcha if you buy too fast on the flea market. Who are the ad wizards that came up with this one?

Pops up after every 2-3 “This item has already been purchased”. Beautiful for when you are trying to by several of an item.

protip: start selling your items more expensive so they show up 5th or 6th. to avoid the "item sold" poo poo people might start buying from there.

Anyone try the 9X19 ammo QuakeMaker?

On paper it seems good, and putting that in a Beretta might make a good side arm when I am trying to snipe.

I just got scav swarmed a minute ago on Snoreline. Happily creeping around resort with 8 minutes on the clock, popped one loitering scav, and suddenly 8 of his loving friends come charging in out of nowhere, despite the place being almost deserted before that. Honestly i'm pretty loving salty about it because I'm bad at Tarky and they killed me. I had 6 kills in the last two minutes of that round - all scavs and all in a 10 meter radius.

Hmm, maybe I'll have to hide in a corner on some of these maps to get my "kill X scavs while wearing X" stuff done.

Are they really materializing out of thin air or is it just all the living scavs on the map swarming you?

yeah they all have different ergo penalties and recoil bonuses, and theres some that need to sit on a compensator which helps their stats over some of the others sometimes. the socom one has like 3 flash hider options to mount to and i think is always bis for a silencer on the guns it fits?? maybe. someone else will tell me im wrong if i am.

I think it's both until it's late enough in the raid that scavs stop spawning, if you survive until there's about 3-5 minutes left on factory it will end up completely empty (barring any other players that might be hiding)

I think bis is actually the DD Wave, but the RC2 with the right muzzle break isn't very far off for 5.56 guns at like half the price - and the combined effect of either is often better than the loud muzzle options alone (with some exceptions like the Jailbreak)

that's not universally true though, as a rule the muzzle break + silencer combos on NATO guns are wayyy better than the silencer options for AKs, where running a silencer is generally a non-trivial statistical sacrifice vs. the PWS CQB/Drakon/some of the lesser options (other Warsaw pact guns can be variable)

doing a quick stat comparison in the preset menu can often be a good way to confirm which you should be buying (at least statistically)

All the hollow point rounds seem great on paper but none of them will go thru level 2 armor, which almost every scav and PMC will be wearing at minimum. Shotgun slugs have the same problem

ap-20 slugs will def go through armor, and you fire hollow points into the face or legs

It's a legitimately worse flesh damage bullet than RIP. if you are going for legs, you should be shooting RIP. Sure the QM is a bit more damage than the Luger CCI, but neither are a "good" bullet by any measure. The new 9x19 7n31 however, is a very good bullet. It does have some sighting/zeroing issues though (fires higher than normal, IIRC)

Thank you gents.

I was testing it yesterday and the round feels super inconsistent.

That or my Beretta likes to shoot sideways, but either way when the experience wasn't great.

I don't like shooting any of the pistols but most of the pistol caliber SMGs are fun even on semi. If I have to use a pistol I'd probably pick one with a red dot sight and some AP ammo

my advice would be to fire rounds that dont pierce armor at unarmored areas such as the face and legs op

if you want a pistol to shoot center mass or thru face shields use a five seven

you can also use the SR1MP or :911: 1911 :911: with the new .45 ACP ammo if you want to be a hipster at the low low cost of significantly worse recoil (and smaller magazines in the 1911's case) with no other upsides

new patch btw:

- Decreased repair prices of armored rigs.
- Added a couple of new crafting recipes in Hideout.
- Buffed accuracy and spread of all shotguns and shotgun barrels.

these all appear pretty significant - i.e. a completely trashed M2 rig I got back via insurance is like 37k to fix, but was something like twice that last night

recipes may influence things (20x hot rod in nutrition unit, craftable .366 AP)

based on some streams I'm watching shotgun spread tightening seems meaningful and may make them viable in a wider variety of circumstances

The recipe for the .366 is 50 9x39 SP-6 and 100 762x39 PS for 100 of the .366AP (in 1hr 43)
It only really seems to be worthwhile if you compare the cost to the current inflated market prices. I've had a pretty easy time just buying up stock around when the trader resets (but I'm just using the bolt action so I guess i'm not burning thru it that fast).

It is interesting to see how much the devs seem to be pushing more use of shotguns though. There have been like 3 different patches with buffs to the spread, so it is neat to see them in a much more viable place.

You should watch any of the numerous Tarkov streamers and when they get killed by a clear hacker, either speed or aimbot, you should point out that they suck despite the video evidence.

We had not left it yet, but when I would wake in the night, I would lie, listening, homesick for it already.

I think thermals are responsible for a significant proportion of hacker complaints too.

Case in point today running with goons in shoreline a sweaty dude starts shooting at us despite us being in cover at night. Absolutely would have killed all of us easily but for some bizarre reason they were top loading a drummag of m993 in their pimped out m1a with M62 and the tracer allowed me to kill them and walk out with million+ rubles of their gear.

If they hadn't been an idiot we'd have all died to headshots with no idea of where the shots had come from.
