I can believe a scav run like that could have a 90ish% survival rate. My scav is at something like 78% and I scav customs almost exclusively. Woods is much larger and less linear, if you're a good sneak and especially if you're adept at running nights it shouldn't be too hard.

sum posted:Wow it turns out adding the military-designed weapons literally designed to be effective against armored personnel at short/short-intermediate ranges has broken the meta of our game where 90% of fights happen at 50 meters or less. Who would have guessed. A few nights ago the group I was in literally fought like 7 or 8 PMC in a row across 4 raids, all with 9mm vectors lol

The Vector is fun if you're not the one getting death rayed by it, especially since the RPM is so high the time to kill is often smaller than your ping. If they bumped the vertical recoil to higher than two or whatever it is and maybe increased the erg penalty for the larger mags it'd be fine.

I could probably run a lap or two around new woods in a raid and see a player like every other raid, I haven't learned the stashes but it's super easy to avoid spawns and the sound of shots and spot people from really far away. The expansion made it feel like Shoreline II which is not a bad vibe for a map. Edit: If one of you GL'd my team when we opened the first floor door into three story dorms today you can SMDFTB, also I needed a good laugh so thank you. I actually ran back towards bus depot and got killed by a naked pistol boi since I had about 45 HP Cage Kicker fucked around with this message at 11:57 on Jan 20, 2021 |

its truly shocking they didnt push when their friend died, when they heard me healing or after they threw a flashbang. if they had both just ran in at any of those three moments i wouldve died lol i feel like i win an inordinate amount of fights thru people just not pushing

Paralysis of decision is a real thing in Tarkov that I struggle with pretty much every raid. It's not caused by gear fear. I have it if I'm a pistoling or am a thicc gearlord. I just hate dying and the fear of screwing up and then dying can sometimes make me act like them. Just too nervous to push. In my case I usually sit in a bush and wait for the situation to develop.

Anyone have recommendations for decent Youtube Tarkov content creators, other than Pestily? I need some videos to download and watch while i'm at work or out for a walk. I picked up Youtube Premium trial and would like a few videos a day to get my Tarkov fix while i'm unable to play as much.

A better way to do it is the way they used to do it, 'find in raid' enchantment didnt exist and wasn't needed for the quests. I can begrudgingly accept the logic of attaching some enchantment to flea market sales, but for the quests it is disgusting and tedious.

Maybe back up a bit but then beeline in one direction or another to get a totally different angle on the fight. Keeping yourself mobile and hard to pin down in a gunfight is going to help you out a lot.

Mesadoram posted:I am not sure if he cheats, I don't think he does... but what do I know? i watched a bit of worrun before hearing any accusations and i think t he guy is cheating lol there was one vid i watched where he just went "wait, what was that" while he was top floor in 2 storey dorms, he ran to the door and just sprayed down a bush killing two people. there was literally no audio cue and you absolutely couldnt see them, not even youtube compression their bodies were way too deep in foliage to ever see them. that made me go "oh hes cheating" before seeing the really suspect clips everyone posts where he randomly snaps and fires on walls. DrPop posted:I really need to get more confident at pushing. Even though I've done pretty well this wipe, the Fear still takes over. I just need to embrace the push and peek ppl really cannot handle being pushed, you can see one of those guys hits me on the way in, but the dude going full auto is entirely not ready for me to just sprint out the bush and blast him, and the other guy was running a mosin and couldnt track me to land a clean shot. the second guy actually isnt dead there but i wasnt sure so i just ran up the hill and healed, then pushed all the way back around from where i came from and went along the water and caught him still looking up where he last saw me, he just held that angle for like 2 minutes lol. pushes and big flanks outplay an astonishing amount of people in this game.

Stux posted:pushing is v powerful always push I know this. The times I unfuck myself and do something I get good results usually. But it can be tough sometimes to make the mental leap to actually move. Tarkov is a strange game man. It's not like a perform badly at this game regardless. I get plenty of PMC kills. I'm just commenting on how the consequences of this game can make someone perform suboptimally in a situation and either make a bad decision or in my case, and what appears to be the case with the guys in the original video, not make a decision at all until its too late. It happens.

Does desync have anything to do with that? I've been frequenting the tarkov subreddit and there's been a lot of noise about it lately, especially this quote: quote:"That's why not a single motherfucker out there should ever sit there and jerk each other off about being good at Escape from Tarkov. All that means is you're hyper aggressive. You've learned to play hyper aggressive and be able to push every single advantage that you can, which ultimately - the biggest advantage of the game - by a long shot, is desync. Right? So you've just learned how to use desync to your advantage. A broken mechanic in the game is what makes you good."

Ambaire posted:Does desync have anything to do with that? I've been frequenting the tarkov subreddit and there's been a lot of noise about it lately, especially this quote: it does not take up to a second, its exactly the same advantage as in every online game and its not absolute at all. ill even go so far as to say its less of an issue in tarkov given that sound is so important and you can almost always hear someone coming and fire just before they come around the corner and nail them. desync is a stupid buzzword for "client side hit reg" the same thing every online shooter uses, and its the same thing everyone likes to blame rather than take their losses and try and improve. theres obviously going to be sometimes where latency means you get caught around a corner, and that sucks, but you cant start focusing on it as why you are losing bcos it means you will simply blame outside stuff rather than being critical of your own play. edit: i didnt answer the first part. pushing is powerful because people panic, lots of people already find the mechanical parts of aiming and shooting in tarkov difficult and theres a lot of guns especially loved by people not wanting to risk a lot that completely suck under pressure. it also puts you in the position of knowing whats about to happen and when and allows you to dictate combat. again the clip above isnt peekers advantage, those guys saw me first and hit me, but running through the bush at them rather than trying to get away put them on the backfoot and made them lose track of me. they had the upperhand. same with the first clip of the three guys, theyre the ones peeking me every time and they know where i am and have the advantage of cover, but they play it out poorly and dont push which lets me recover and get ready for them.

It's more common then people think, one of the guys I play with sometimes does the packet sniffing thing. He's got an overhead map of where everyone is and aiming. He says there is some sort of handshake where two players will aim at each other through walls and shake back and forth and leave each other alone. I will say playing with him we still lose a bunch because I can't shoot for poo poo and it seems neither can he so I don't think he's aimhacking. He's been doing it for like months without any sort of ban either which I find surprising.

You earn money by doing raids, it sucks that you have to depend on an RNG smiling on you to complete a quest. I mean it's kind of circular logic in the end since my argument is kind of "I want to do these raids so I don't have to do those raids" but it's just annoying that you gotta hope poo poo like cowboy hats spawn on mannequins and poo poo.
