I accidentally deleted a money case with 20m rubles in it this morning. Good way to start the day.

LGD posted:he has some tolerable ones too and there are just enough of them to be borderline ok if you have EOD (more if you don't mind endless mosin quests) Even worse is that some of the quests are genuinely not so bad, can be a fun excuse to go hunt Reshala or something. But if you want to do those first you have to hit your dick with a hammer 13 times on Customs in cloudy weather between the hours of 3-4am while wearing fort armor. And this quest gives you .05 rep.

Entire hours. Will probably want to have the wiki for the game linked somewhere on there, it tends to be updated quickly after any changes, and is very useful for finding maps, extracts, and ammo comparisons, among other things.

HORSEPORN posted:When the grenade explodes it will throw its shrapnel in random (I hope a weighted random...) directions in a sphere around it. Think of it as a bubble around the grenade, if it blows up in the air the pieces will fly out inside the bubble, if it is resting on the ground then the shrapnel will only fly in the half bubble above it and will ignore the bottom half. Also worth bearing in mind that projectiles do ricochet in this game, and I have never heard a grenade go off without also hearing most of its shrapnel go bouncing around the room. Might be the case that the ground eats some of the projectiles and bounces the rest.

1001 Arabian dicks posted:but really, is there a reason to use the ASVAL over the VSS? what can you do with it that you can't do with a VSS? VAL's price is a relic of the fact that Tarkov's development happens at an unequal pace. The VAL/VSS are both meant to cost ~100k rubles and did for most patches prior to .10; but most guns were more expensive then. That the VSS is so cheap now is a fluke from the fact that Scavs spawn with them and add to the supply, and the gas mask filter trade, which used to be about 100k of value, now only comes out to about 40. Before that they were pretty much just aesthetic variations of one another using different weapon skills. Done for the same reason a lot of poo poo happens in this game, because it exists irl that way and the differences between them are minimal/don't translate very well to a video game. ChesterJT posted:That ridiculous moving item bug cost me 400k from flea market sales. Awesome. But we better spend time on arm stamina. If you log out and log in again you should be able to claim everything, the item move bug doesn't destroy inventory.

ShowTime posted:I mean, i'm level 31 and just recently got metabolism to level 3 and am working on strength to level 3. They don't happen as normally as you think. But I do agree that the cheesing poo poo is boring as hell. I've only done it for 2 raids and while I did get like 5 skill points, they are so boring. I've been going to Woods and walking along the outside. Met a couple people just sprinting around to outskirts and killed them, but it's still boring. Yeah, I was... unimpressed when I learned that metabolism only counts in-raid eating. It's not really explained anywhere, and I realized eventually what was going on. But especially given that healing in the hideout gives healing XP, you'd think eating would count.

willie_dee posted:I get hacking in PubG and stuff because there was a real world economy where you could make actual money. But that doesn’t exist in Tarkov so what’s the point? Last time this was analyzed a few weeks ago someone in this thread linked that ~20k USD of Tarkov items were sold per day via ebay, but the real number is probably a lot higher since it doesn't include playerauctions or any of the other RMT sites which don't allow you to see sales numbers.

Customs is also a pretty brutal map if you're new. Some of the others are a bit easier, I think Interchange and Shoreline are both reasonably friendly outside of a few hot spots on each; though I know Customs is where most starting quests occur. Also run your player scav as often as possible. You won't get quest progression but you can keep anything you get out with, there's no risk involved in going into a raid, and it's a great way to learn the maps and some of the basic gear.

ShowTime posted:My moonshine runs haven't been going well and I wanted to try something else. I'm curious what other people think is the best scav run option from the hideout. Your 6k runs will turn a profit 99% of the time; I have been doing them since early in the patch and have only one had my scavs come back with less than it cost to deploy them. It's also not that rare to get very expensive 100k+ items in 6ks, but most of the time it's closer to 10-20. I have given up on 70ks and higher; there is a super rare chance to get things that sell for millions like an icepick, but under half of those runs were returning a profit.

Stux posted:no please someone actually spell out why its bad rather than just saying lol cos im happy to be wrong here but it seems good, to me Personally not a fan because it means you can't list gear from PMCs you kill on the flea market, and because it means you can't use & list keys or other consumables. The key system in this game is really bad and the flea market as it exists lets you largely sidestep that except for keys that hold really valuable loot. Regardless, both of these suck so I'm not a fan.

ShowTime posted:I can see where people are coming from. I guess I just don't see the game as being that way. I prefer playing with scraps and having to struggle to get that S-Tier gear or whatever you call it. I like the idea of AKs and SKSs being the norm, not M1As and M4A1s. People rocking just Kirasas and poo poo, not Slicks and Fast MTs. That would be great if it locked everyone to that status, but my experience from this game even before the flea market was in the game was that some people will be running that fast/fort 7N12s still and it makes the seal clubbing just that much worse.

Kikas posted:Yeah an upgradable Gym area as a money/item sink was proposed a few times here and I've seen it pop up contantly on Reddit. I am sure that Nikita is aware of the idea, I just don't think they're gonna implement it anytime soon. They even have the assets, there's a bench and some weights in one of the Reserves' garage. There's an entire gym in the basement of Shoreline.

Yeah full auto is amazing in this game. Have you guys not wondered why 60 round mags are such a common sight on the sweatiest players? Your first few shots are wasted but after maybe five rounds your gun levels out and you have no further upwards kick. Shooting short bursts is literally the worst thing you can do in this game, as it means you get the first few rounds of high recoil over and over, but never level out. You either tape down that trigger or you shoot semi only.

Oysters Autobio posted:Big protip in early wipe right now is not a lot of people are running NVGs or thermals, so night time versions of maps (except factory because its completely pitch black) are excellent to run for loot or quests. I'm at level 17 and I've been exclusively running night raids for all my quests because the lobby is generally emptier, scavs vision at night sucks, some scavs use flashlights so its easy to spot them, and if you do bump into a player in the dark, lots of the time you can disengage and sprint away in the dark. Only time it really sucks is while scavs night vision sucks, once they do spot you (i.e. they give out a voice command and aggro you), they can see through bushes and shadows easily so if you run into one, run the hell away and sneak back on them. BIG caveat to this- how dark your nights are depends on some variable that no one I know has been able to isolate. I have been with my squad on night maps and will have a map that is literally 100% black pixels beneath the skyline, can't see a drat thing- but for some of my teammates, they can be on the exact same graphics settings and they report that there is more than enough light to see easily, like a night in a movie. It's not monitor stuff either, we've swapped screenshots and they report that my screenshots are pitch black and impossible to use and I can see that things are perfectly clear for them. If you're one of the people who can see well at night, great, you might find night maps helpful. If not, they're far more of a hindrance than help, because you'll be going up against people who can see much better than you for an arbitrary reason, and you're at a huge disadvantage.

fennesz posted:In all seriousness, I always just chalked it up to how good your monitor is. I've done something like 10 woods night raids this wipe without any issue. Doming scavs at night has never really been a problem for me, though a flashlight is very handy for looting bits and bobs. Oh and I never run any sort of post effects, in or out of game. It can't be the monitor though, or the screenshots we sent one another would look the same. I am also a stickler for having a properly calibrated monitor with an accurate colorspace because I do visual computer work, and so is one of my squad. Yet he's got bright nights, and I'm at 100% black.

I admit that I hold out relatively little hope that the cheating problem will ever go away in this game. I remember PUBG before and after the cheating waves; it got unplayably bad years ago, and I stopped trying. Last week, Steam flashes a news update about PUBG to me- hey, they're still fighting the cheaters, and even with two factor and a special queue and everything the cheating plague remains. I think Tarkov is just going to be infested forever.

I really enjoy watching the game go from "Yeah, it's as accurate of a simulator as we can make it," at least in their gamey way, to things having invisible magic status to them- the flea market master knows if someone else has touched this gun, your character would never pick up more than two copies of the same key, etc.

Umbreon posted:AP-20 ignores armor all the way up to class 3 and semi-reliably pierces class 4. A majority of the PMCs I encounter aren't wearing anything higher than that for helmets(and at night they're going to be wearing NVGs anyway so facetaps still work), so headshots with AP20 remain one taps most of the time. I always find this advice hilarious, and it comes up so often. Just headshot them, it's easy. But that's not what makes a gun good or viable. If you can headshot people every time, you never need a gun better than a Makarov, there's 9x18 that will piece face shields consistently. It's almost like headshotting isn't easy or consistent, and is in fact so difficult that some people in this game (and others) resort to external software to do it more reliably.

Attachments are really down to preference. Watch what other people put on theirs a lot- and find out what you're comfortable using. Some people think a stock AK-74 is fine and manage the recoil, some need to put 200k rubles of parts on it. Most are somewhere in the middle, and add a few cheap things like the rubber butt pad. Best way to find out what those parts are is to look at what other people have on their guns, because the variety is overwhelming and much of it is poo poo value.
