When you hear 4/5 guys moving close to each other it's a fair bet. You can double-check by throwing a grenade at them, they should all sound off. As I recall Reshala has a unique voice, too.

Being instantly killed by a grenade is also a good indicator that it was Reshala’s pack.

He could be in Fortress, Dorms, or Gas. Usually just rush whichever you spawn closest to.

Thanks for the replies, and the dorms/new gas thing is great to know. I am getting absolutely destroyed on Reserve. I'm not even living long enough to worry about finding an exit. Is the manhole/sewer exit always open? Maybe I can do a no backpack run and at least extract once to close out some of these quests.

My first solo run at Reserve I took a Glock + light, some PACA and a decent tac rig. No-backpack is a great way to get it done; keeps you fast and lets you avoid one of the worst exits in the game. If you don’t spawn in White Queen, go slow and steady and keep your noise down. If you do, run like hell.

No backpack worked; it was bonkers and I was in combat as I extracted, but it worked! I don't care if it was raggedy. I don't like that map. Knowing that the manhole is there is comforting.

My favorite map is Reserves, but I mostly do it on my Scav, so my experience is likely way different. If i'm on my PMC, the start of the match is always the hardest for me. Most of the players just hit up a handful of areas. That or they set up to snipe. I can count a handful of times I've been in the raid during the last 15 or 20 minutes and have encountered a player. It almost always a chad, usually running night vision. When I'm on my scav, I spawn at night and basically move from where I spawned to 1 of my extracts, collecting whatever loot is nearby. I rarely try and search around the map for as much loot as I can, unless I spawn with absolute garbage. But when your scav karma is pretty decent, what you spawn with plus the other few decent items you can find along the way can really turn a profit. I basically just choose speed and quality over quantity, getting back on my PMC as fast as I can.

Knowing that the manhole is there is comforting. The tunnel extract is also a great one, just be careful because sometimes it's camped. I'd definitely learn where it is and how to get it happen. It involves pulling a switch, also in the tunnels. The other one that can work out is having someone else open up the bunker hermetic door exit and you use it before they ever get there. Because of it's proximity to the train, you can hang out around that area and be ready to take one of them when it's time.

I managed a good Reserve raid where I got two quests done and escaped through the underground, filled with relief after a VERY CREEPY scav came after me in the bunker, only to find... another quest on Reserve that deals with the bunker. Edit: Just had a spicy shootout with a scav on interchange who took a ton of bullets, and since I was high on the success of finally killing Reshala today, after I finally got this guy down, I approached the body thinking "did I just kill the interchange boss???" no just a scav wearing that good, white armor. Then I looked up the interchange boss and now that I've read about him I'm scared to go back there Danknificent fucked around with this message at 03:38 on Oct 15, 2022 |

They are. They did a patch on the 12th. https://www.escapefromtarkov.com/news/id/239?lang=undefined The last line just says "Also, we’ve fixed the incorrect Scav behavior when engaging USEC PMCs." Edit: Oh you said player scavs. My bad. I was checking out the subreddit for Tarkov and saw people complaining about it and assumed your post was about the same.

Scav runs aside, sometimes I feel like the only Tarkov player just absolutely incapable of getting a kill on PMCs as a PMC. I know half my problem has been ammo, but I finally hit 15 and have access to fancy ammo now, plus an ammo box to hoard good or rare ammo types. Hoping that helps some. It doesn't help that General Sam (who I got into Tarkov because of) has molded be into a ratling after his own image.

Any specific tips for surviving the first 5-10 minuts on Shoreline without getting domed by an unseen sniper? I know the paths out of the eastern spawns near radar station are usually camped. I'm finding it hard to get out of those spawns alive - and yesterday I got one-tapped in front of a swamp village house.

I’m on break because cheating and technical issues killed my squad’s desire to keep playing this wipe, so don’t get too discouraged. Ammo is definitely a factor. Your best puncher’s chance at low levels is 7.62x39 PS to the head and chest, or buckshot to the legs. On Shoreline, figure out where you spawned ASAP and move in concealment at a right angle to all the fastest paths into the resort. Once you’re in cover and the first wave of sweaty PvP starts popping off you can figure out your objective. The only exit I had consistent problems with was the western tunnel. Never approach it from the road; get north of it and clear the overlook, but beware the absolute madmen who will sprint the nearby open field.

There is no avoiding it on some raids if you get a corner spawn.

Ultimately every map in Tarkov revolves around memorizing the spawn locations and using sightlines & terrain to try and pick off the people closest to you before moving on. Almost every map in Tarkov can be thought of as a bowtie, with the players spawning at the outside edges, engaging in fights in the broad areas before it narrows to a middle chokepoint. Early conflicts are won by knowing where the people nearest to you spawned and where they will probably go, then shooting them while they try to get there, mid raid conflicts are won by taking advantageous positions over the center of the bowtie's chokepoint. If you're not interested in the sweaty boring spawn memorization, hide for the first ten minutes as the others say.

alternatively, do what I do on shoreline and just send it. it's TECHNICALLY possible to farm rogues with just a vpo and a 4x. I have about a 3 in 20 success rate doing that. That way you don't mind getting sniped and occasionally get to take out sniper chads on the big rocks e: wait, I'm thinking of lighthouse, shoreline you're just kinda screwed. Squat in a bush yeah

I'm getting destroyed on Lighthouse. How do you even get close to the industrial side of the map where the rogue guys are? I'm not even getting killed by other players, just by them. I can't even tell if it's snipers or mounted guns or what. it's brutal.

If your PMC is a USEC you can get considerably closer to the water treatment plant than if your guy is a BEAR. And yes, the rogues are insanely deadly if you're not familiar with their areas/sight lines

As mentioned above, learning their placements is super important. I'm to the point where I can clear everything except the back rooftop almost completely safety on any scav I get with a bolt action. Pro tips: approach from the road, take out the left MG nest first, then hug the inside of the wall and take the right nest from behind. , Loot them, then head back to the road. Once you see the building be VERY careful for the guy on top. Hope he gets to his MG nest and cap him. Then head the road again toward the back building. Once you alert the rogues on top they'll call the stairs, and a grenade thrown from the stairs with a high arc should clear two or three of them. It takes practice, but can become safe and very profitable once you get it down.

Lighthouse is terrifying. I'm scared to peek the Rogues, and the way it's played out for the last two matches is that I get into a big fight before I even reach the rogues, so then I'm limping around all out of drugs, food, and health kits and so I just bypass them by taking the beach to the south road. I'm glad that bypassing them is an option (which I didn't know before; I had a tragic death on the road that way), but that doesn't help me with the fact that I have to place like 100 markers inside their dang fortress compound. The little magic yellow shot is the only reason I got out those times. I got decent loot, but I'm like... zero percent closer to doing these lighthouse quests.

there's a lot of guides on youtube about how to tackle the rogues, though I personally have used the way I've seen Pestily do it, approaching from the northeast along the fence, which lets you run basically all the way up to the warehouse before any rogues aggro on you, then just clearing rooftops that way i've done it a fair bit on my scav even

I've watched some guides and I understand some of it, but my problem is that I'm getting into trouble before I can even reach the Rogues so that I'm in no condition to try anything with them when I do, so I end up slinking out. That's okay; I can figure that part out. I'm going to try approaching from a different direction. I'm not too worried; the nice thing about the marker quests is that you get credit even if you die, so I'll find a way, even if it's just one-way.

Rahu posted:I’m new this wipe with about 150 hours played and I just learned that each drawer of a file cabinet is a separate loot container I didn't know that! On Lighthouse, I got lucky and made it to the rogues in one piece, then extra lucky in that there didn't seem to be very many of them around. So I got a marker on the chopper, which is great. Then I got greedy and tried to get to the truck that's kind of close to there to mark that, and my luck ran out. But the fact that I got in there and placed a marker is reassuring; I can do that a few more times. This new mission to scope out the roofs, though... oof. Do you have to get all three and then survive? Or do you have to survive for it to count? Or can I just extract some other time to get the credit?

My first Halloween event in Tarkov happened when I'd only been playing for a few weeks and I had no idea that BSG did anything special for it, until I kicked open the door to the power station on Shoreline and nearly pissed myself at the scav wearing a glowing jack-o-lantern. I had no idea what I was looking at for a second or two and it scared the absolute hell out of me. Was an awesome experience.

I finally worked up the courage and returned to Lighthouse and got embarrassingly sniped by a Rogue on a mounted gun right away. Now salty, I immediately returned to Lighthouse again, got into the compound, completed two quests with a small amount of drama and action and escaped on the train. In conclusion, Lighthouse is a land of contrasts.
