From my observations on streams, no. Wiki specifies proximity when he's welding it, sounds like he doesn't even have to hit you with it.

EFT evolving into a fatasy mil-sim RPG would be great. A portal to Faerûn opens up in the middle of Customs.

the maslenitsa event was pretty much exactly that, portals opening and mobs with high end gear were pouring out trying to kill you as you did a little ritual to close the portals and summon the magical boss

Tarkov was already magical, potions are just called stims there. I always hoped that either the cult or Terragroup was on the verge of some kind of breakthrough that lead to a portal to somewhere else opening.up and suddenly there's a small possibility of running into THINGS in raids. A 5% chance of a pack of hellhounds on the loose in woods, little Prey-style mimics in Labs, some fuckoff 15 foot tall demon deciding Big Red belongs to it now. You're doing your usual quest/loot/hunt routine in a raid and you start hearing a low buzzing in your ears, or the color starts to drain out of everything, or the rain turns to blood, and you know there's something nasty on the map. Maybe someday in a better game

I like to believe Tarkov is surrounded by a temporal bubble and it resets after a certain amount of time (between raids) and that's why your PMC can die and come back and loot is randomized and reloaded every time you go in. The traders and hideout are in a fringe area where it doesn't get reset.

Thus, I can be given a quest to kill Killa 50 times.

Jakosa posted:drat, I hate Lighthouse so much. So. Much. The worst spawns I've experienced on a map thus far (haven't run Streets or Reserve as PMC yet). A miracle my buddy and I got Revision Lighthouse done in three runs - second we got crushed by a juicer who rushed the chalet from the north spawn when we spawned south of it. The third one we got the water treatment vehicles done because luckily someone else had cleared out the rogues and on the way out to northern checkpoint a PMC tried to take us out with just over a minute left on the map. We did a few Lighthouse runs a few weeks before that to get feel of it on PMC after learning the map scavving and got the awful beach spawns and kept getting pinched. One time we got the one overlooking path to shoreline extract which is unfair for any PMCs or pscavs in the village areas. Groovelord Neato fucked around with this message at 15:17 on May 22, 2024 |

if you're usec you can do revision by just sj6 sprinting straight into water treatment and planting as long as goons aren't in water treatment. you do have to give the rogues a decent amount of space, but it's pretty easy to do at night if you're bear (or have a bear in your group, or have harmed a rogue within the last 3 raids) lol get hosed

If you're coming from the front via the main bridge you have to use a long range sniper from well before the bridge. On a scav run I was hanging back from a PMC I spotted at the boat houses and he got obliterated when he left and just turned the corner at the beach.

But this event is giving juiced exp and I won't be around much before it ends so i think I'll finish the quest line out and stick it out for now. Guess I'll have to get some Lighthouse practice in.

honestly it's extremely worth it to learn how to deal with the rogues and it's way easier in pve when you don't have to worry about pmcs or pscavs in rogue kits i say this having barely bothered with the rogue camp quests myself tbf

yeah BEAR disadvantage on lighthouse is a bit overblown and you absolutely want to learn how to properly deal with them - you loose the ability to (riskily) scam a couple missions but if you’re doing serious questing/looting in the area as USEC you’re going to quickly get on the rogue shitlist and be in the same position as BEARs if you don’t want to deal with getting owned by rogue aimbots you can also cheese a lot of the water plant missions in regular Tarkov as BEAR pretty easily by going at night with NVGs and just waiting in a bush for 15-20m until the map has calmed down and the usual crop of rogue farmers has cleared poo poo out for you - there’s a point where the biggest danger is likely to be pscavs and NVGs/ears give you a *massive* advantage over them

Remember that the event quest line goes away tomorrow, the 26th. It's pretty easy and gives a ton of XP and a trophy that doesn't go away with wipes. It's a 13 task quest line. There are a couple of missions on Lighthouse at one of the chalets. And one on Woods where you need to place 3 2x2 items. The items can be replaced, but it's annoying if you lose them. Other than that, it's pretty easy with tasks on Customs, Shoreline and one on Ground Zero. It might be a little late if you're starting from scratch. If you do, you probably need to buy some quest items (encrypted flash drives) on the flea market. But they seem to be readily available now, where most people have done it.

I think my 'issue' is that when I die, I don't use any of the gear in my stash. I slap on a rig and a pistol and go to customs and kill scavs to gear up. And tbh., those raids are probably my favorite. They're very stress free, because if I die, that's pretty much to be expected. And if I don't, that's a win. But that means that I only use very little of the gear I collect. And it just piles up.

Go out of your way to use it, even if it makes you uncomfortable at first. Nothing worse than ending a wipe with like 50m of sick guns and armor in your stash. If you play a mix of groups and solo I think it makes sense to sit on a bit of good kit for party play since insurance fraud is so strong, but aside from that just send it. If it’s “good gear” but you don’t like using it, just sell it and buy stuff you do like.

One time I was creeping around the Reserve barracks and worked my way towards a source of earlier gunfire, finding a completely unlooted PMC in a stairwell, including such treasures as GPNVGs and a fancy pants M1A with thermal scope! Gear that I let rot in my stash while test driving it on offline mode raids a couple times lol

I've been using 500K-1M gear sets for about 2 months now. I think BTC and (to a lesser extent) the FiR change has just blown the economy up this wipe. 800K-900K every day with just a level 2 BTC farm, plus now i can flip stacks of ammo from lvl 4 traders on the flea at 100%-300% mark-up.

Combined with the hoarder gene that always sees me with a million unused potions in RPGs because "I might need them later".Incoming Chinchilla posted:I've been using 500K-1M gear sets for about 2 months now.

Jakosa posted:This is my first wipe and I definitely have some gear fear. Combined with the hoarder gene that always sees me with a million unused potions in RPGs because "I might need them later". I use either Thors or Osprey (P)'s depending on whether i care about weight. GACs seem to be the best lvl5 plate and you can craft armour with them in the shitter then selll the armour. Then either bastion w/ armour plate with NVGs or an airframe w/ chops & faceshields. The gun is usually decided by either a quest that i am on or whatever good ammo i have. Otherwise I tend to use P90s, MP5s, M700s, SA-58s or MDRs. Mainly stuff i have laying around, but the consistent parts are the GACs and a high ergo gun with a good scope and suppresor. I do occasionally run budget kits and I definately play differently with them, so I don't think "gear fear" every goes away fully. The more you play the more you will see what is worht the investment and what isn't. If you were garunteed to die every raid then there isn't much point in running a meta kit, but better gear will save you some of the time (lvl 5 plates especially). If you want to get used to the fear then you could load into every raid with a bitcoin in your inventory as some kind of cognitive behavioural therapy.

Lol, this would definitely have the opposite effect on me What I like to do is sometimes bring the nicest kit I can put together in with me with every intention to not make it out of a fight. Thinking the kit is already gone goes a long way to reducing that tension
