If we are going to be keeping track of TKs we’ll need more reserved posts.

Bump. This game is phenomenal. Best thing for FPS games since Half-Life and Counter-Strike.

I’m surprised we haven’t seen copycat games take off yet in the same way we did for battle royales.

Yup and if you throw in the pandemic and that the wiped happened around holidays, it’s easier for people to immerse themselves in the game.

If you want to stack some money up and finish your butt coin machine (top priority) I would learn Interchange next. Fun map, easy to avoid the spots where the gear lords rush, tons of loot. Plus, you can kill Killa! *disclaimer* Killa may kill you first

Is that just for generic item runs? I’ve had good luck with Shoreline stash loops. I’ve have had multiple ones where I exfil with 1M+ worth of stuff, and it’s a quiet enough map (away from resort) that I just listen to podcasts while doing it.

I’d feel better about the quest system if it also included daily or weekly quests. Some way to give every map an objective to accomplish, aside from kill PMCs and take their stuff.

Yeah daily quests/challenges could be a good way to cause PvP friction on these huge maps.

Sure, but also everyone doesn't have to have the same daily/weekly - have a pool that get randomly assigned every reset.

I would blow any amount of roubles if it meant sending another PMC back to the lobby. It's the principle.

Their backpack may be full of bitcoins. It’s worth the risk.

When do you guys think would be a good time to buy the scav case? I have 6 GPUs right now. My plan was to upgrade to 10 first but then I don't know if bitcoin 2 or scav case is more useful

Ahh drat. I used it more for the instant replay manual save but oh well.

Shadowplay still works, just need to remember to save it. Always disappointing to see how long an enemy PMC was on screen before they killed me.

I’ve only had one negative VOIP interaction. I was a PMC nearing extract and a scav came up and said he was friendly, offering me a labs key. I declined and started to walk away, and he tried to shoot me. Wound up blasting him and getting that key anyway. Otherwise it’s been amicable on both scav and PMC runs.

6 or 7. Easy if you have the time but i am obviously busy this week.

I don't know the best map tbh. On Factory I would have to wipe the server in order to farm them. I think Customs is best bet

Would it be feasible to go in with another person who is marked so scavs rush your position and you can shoot them that way?

Sharing a nice story: I went down to ZB-016 as a scav and ran into a PMC placing items down there. He quickly said he plays solo and this quest has been really hard for him, so if I was going to kill him if I could please wait for him to finish the quest first. Instead, I said we should do Factory Lands, he agreed, and we both got our .25 rep.

Scav gear is somewhat linked to Fence Rep, last wipe goons with higher rep were reporting spawning with better gear, labs cards, etc..

I’m sitting at around 4 fence rep and not noticing much of a gear difference. Timer is pretty short though.

I don't know if this is exploiting or not but I'll just have eft running in the background while I'm doing other tasks, and when I scav timer is up I'll go to factory, and run straight for the exit, then vendor all my gear. Usually it's 20-30 seconds a run and I make 50-150k. I do this all day.

It’s also a quick thing to do between PMC runs.

Just be bad enough like me where the idea someone would need to cheat to kill me is preposterous.

Anyone else run into issues with the game on AMD GPUs? I upgraded from a 1080 to a 7800xt and the game will basically cause my monitor to go black and I have to restart my computer. Hasn’t happened in any other game in the months I’ve had the new card. Happens in raid as well as in menus.

shoreline would be a much better map if you got rid of all the 'spot green camo guy on green foliage background' parts of it, of which it is one of the worst offenders in the game

The snow solves much of this.

I mostly get killed by people with like 5k hours lol. It’s crazy how many players like that I see, and I come from CS where everyone who plays it has played for 20 years, but I feel like I don’t often see playtime that high.

That time may include a lot of idle menu time and the mini game of organizing their stash. At least that’s what I tell myself when I see my playtime.

Would be nice if you could purchase a "satellite view" of the engagement on exfil/death that is only delivered after the raid ends, maybe like how Overwatch has replay codes. Then you could study folk's movements and maybe see how you died or you could better move to avoid/force engagements in future raids.


This would also help new players immensely, I think.

I've only had one sus death and they got banned, but I'm mostly scaving to learn maps right now.

They could totally make it part of the game lore that one of the traders has a drone flying around the battlefield and willing to sell some footage.

There has been no PMCs left on Factory, when I do scav runs there.

Servers shut off if there are no active players left, so there has to be at least one PMC remaining for the first pscav to spawn in. Not sure what happens after that though.

Big Boy Ground Zero has gotten better loot than the kiddie pool, so it might be a good place for GPUs now. I got one on a scav run. There are a lot of PCs on the map and since it's quite small, it's quick to get out.

Scav runs seem to randomly place you in the beginner map or the 21+ version, so you can't always count on being in the one with the good loot.

Does it have the intel 3 GPS Signal item?

I surprised a guy at the start of the raid and dumped a M4 mag of SOST bullets into him. He then proceeded to kill me. I really need to learn to shoot people somewhere other than the body - or get some better ammo.



Similar issue here. I spray the chest instead of aiming at the head, lots of deaths where I do a bunch of damage but don’t get a kill.

Yup, same—they don’t do many quests or bother with much progression at all. Just the factory meat grinder.
