So from what I can tell and based on today's prices, if I set up a BTC farm with one GPU it will pay for itself in 9-10 days. However each additional GPU will take 69 days to pay for itself. Is there any rumour on when the next wipe will be? I feel like it will be less than 2 months so it probably is worth just selling additional GPUs as long as they are so overvalued.

Then you can just give yourself 200m roubles if you want, set your level to whatever you like, instant complete any quests if you hate them, etc. It's great.

Question for those running SPT: Do you have to have the backup, modded install for APT on the same drive as Tarkov? I have everything else done and I'm still getting an error about not having .net installed and that's about the only thing I can come up with.

No judgement here, but is Single Player Tarkov just you running around booping Scavs? I mean, they're definitely nasty enough to be a threat to everyone who hasn't memorized the scav patterns, but do they keep the game engaging?

There are some great mods that add in AI PMCs and raiders, and you can customise the weighting of what appears out of scavs/PMCs/raiders, and how many AI entities spawn. Hell you can add in Glukhar raiders or even bosses if you want to get hosed up. It's surprisingly flexible. You can change what armor/weapons each group has access to spawn in with too, things like that.

It has options to simulate enemy PMCs by giving them much higher quality equipment and having them roam around the map. When I tried it at least, back when it was brand new, they were basically just super high tier gear piñatas that posed zero threat and left you swimming in crazy good guns and stuff.

I've decided to just go full scav-on-scav. Other player scavs just cannot be trusted. I just somehow spent 10mins matchmaking into a reserve scav run only to be shot in the back by a player scav one minute in. Does this mean that reserve has hundreds of player scavs or did we all get stuck in a queue together or what?

Wait times just seem really bad at the moment for no particular reason, even at peak hours. That said Reserve gets a ridiculous number of potential player scav spawns, IIRC.

I've never gotten into Reserve quickly as a scav. It's just such a profitable map everyone's waiting in line for their shot.

Lately I’ve been putting moonshine in and getting Slicks back so one of my scavs is drunkenly finding his way into labs or something and fighting chads.

Best thing i've gotten so far has been a GPU, but that was post BTC change. But, needed it, so it was nice. I use moonshine as well and started with intelligence but was getting complete poo poo. At least all of my moonshine runs have paid for the moonshine, which seems to have dropped by about 75k.

I was playing a lot of customs and kinda getting the map. Then I decided to try to learn woods and it hasn't gone that well. The game does in fact have a brutal learning curve. I've wandered into a minefield once or twice. Sometimes I've spawned near a bunch of trees and had no idea where on the map I was. My first run was in pitch black night as a scav which was an interesting & unproductive experience in woods. I did make it to extraction. Actual gun fighting has gone okay.

Woods is real rough this late. Most objectives will take you to the sawmill that has a boss as well as lots of players looking for said boss and pvp. Big loot piñatas if you get lucky.

something I wrote up when i was learning woods. highly recommend having the map/pics of stashes open on a second monitorHooplah posted:here's a quick path i generally take for woods runs. stashes in blue, places of interest (danger/loot/scavs) in orange. black circles are what i'd consider good spawns for each end of the run. if you spawn all the way in the southeast the run can get weird. recommend bringing zb-014 key given that last section between there and outskirts has nothing of interest but can get hairy. maybe the 3k roubles to take car extract, but generally if you can get past the village that last section til northern roadblock is safe.

Woods has too many spawns where it's just  and you have no idea where you're at. That's the one map where a compass is actually helpful. An in-game map would be nice too but I know that's being greedy.

I've found the mapgenie site to be really helpful as a newbie https://mapgenie.io/tarkov Just got head/jaw'd from about 100m by buckshot fired by a scav running backwards. Was en route to extract with two quest items. Enough Tarkov for today! VVVVV Lol the guy was basically a smudge on my screen. I don't really know how he aggro'd on me. Thought he was a player scav at first but no report button. Incoming Chinchilla fucked around with this message at 20:48 on Apr 19, 2021 |

Woods is confusing until you realize there's several landmarks you can easily use to orient yourself-- the factories to the south-east, the power lines that run through the entire northern part east to west, and the big lake at the south under sawmill. Once you get a little more familiar with it you also can figure out which of the larger rock formations you're near and use the road just north of the major ones as a landmark as well. Since you'll probably spawn at an edge of the map, if you find which side of you has mines and look for one of those landmarks you can usually figure out where you are with the help of a map pretty quickly.

Yea I dunno. Guess i'm just done with it until the next wipe, seasons and expansions. I'll probably just keep the btc farm running and login every day or so to collect, so I at least have some money if I want to play before any of that stuff happens. But like Cage Kicker says, not having fun with it at the moment so I haven't been playing it.

Two weeks ago I was playing in the same room as my friend LAN party style and I ran up to him ingame and jumped into a bush and then turned around to tell him something in person with plenty of time to watch my character run across his screen and then jump into a bush. I have tons of gear but find myself killing as many folks with a shotgun and mag buck as I do loaded for bear with armor and a built gun. I know I'm still not good at the game, but the game issues are such a big part of how it's played. Peakers advantage is huge. bird cooch fucked around with this message at 20:30 on Apr 20, 2021 |

I will say that yesterday I managed to complete a whole bunch of quests just from the scav junkbox returns using moonshine. I even managed to get one of those hot new tan slicks, which was a great return.

Christ, I haven't played any real significant amount since before the flea market - and honestly early on in the implementation of quests is when I quit for a while - and it's roooough coming back and not really remembering the stuff that hasn't changed and most of it has but above it's a real fuckin' nightmare when literally everyone is geared to the nines in every single raid. I gather it's been like this for a while, too.
