There is a few videos of people getting ambushed by super aggressive scavs with silenced weapons but preferring to use knives at night starting to pop up. Most of them are visual trash because its night, but at least a couple managed to see the stupid looking cultist knife on bodies.

Could be fakes, especially since I've yet to see one where the PMC(s) survive, but I dunno :shrug: Go around at night on Woods and the like and find out!

Tarkov will have Arena mode eventually and I think that's gonna be loving COOL

Apparently Nikita had a semi-drunk, semi-official chat with some Russian streamers a few hours ago where he discussed a few things, including Arena.

Arena is going to be a separate game. :v:

Also UN troops, Russian Regulars getting introduced as NPC factions. Also Russian Special Forces whose main goal is hunting down USEC players. UN Troops will apparently hunt Bears, but not with the same level of fervor as the Russian SFs.

The feature creep grows!

Also the big annoyance with the Kedr is for some reason they moved the 30 round mags to prapor level 3. Meanwhile you can just stroll down to Peacekeeper and buy 30 round MP5 mags no prob level 1.

from a level 35 (which seems a pretty high level, wipe was recent right?!).

Wipe was a week and a half ago, Dec 24th.

There are already sweatlords who are level 50+ with the kappa container (awarded by what is basically an "endgame" quest).

Also NVGs aren't that hard to come by, Skier sells a decent pair at level 2 rep. The quad-scope/eye ones are Peacekeeper level 3 I think?

And everyone thinks it’s trash and it’s also not very valuable so while people might rip a couple attachments off the thing they’ll rarely take the whole gun (and if they do it’ll prob get tossed for a “nicer” looted gun).

I’m also convinced a lot of people don’t know you can still fold the gun down to 2x2 by removing the butt pad and any dovetail mounted sight. Of course, even if they do know, it’s a cumbersome thing to do when you’re in the open and exposed.

That is a great idea... Its not like it’s recoil is so massive you need a super great foregrip anyways.

That does mean no laser sight though... maybe use that one dovetail mount that has a side mount in addition to the sight mount?

You could always make presets. There is an option to build a saved preset from scratch with only a couple clips, IIRC, it'll buy whatever is needed from the traders or the fleamarket I think (And it'll show you how much it costs before you hit the final "ok").

The blue ones? You can craft them into Magazine Cases, which can be handy. And if you don't need magazine cases, you can craft those into Scav Junk Boxes.

So since mines weren't a thing last time I was playing any real amount, how do they work? It seems like they instantly and infinitely rearm? Are there set placements or is it just "You walked X yards in a minefield take damage."

As far as I can tell its just intensifying areas of "X% Chance to trigger a mine every ???" the deeper into the minefield you go.

I was planning on passing on this wipe for similar reasons as that other goon (too many other games to play) but scav karma has me tempted to just wipe my stash and just play the occasional casual scav run and see how much cash I can scrounge up selling everything to traders and/or what kind of “trophies” I can collect.

It’s so amazingly frustrating accidentally bringing an EOTech to a night run and staring at the radiant sight and then glancing down at the small button at the base of the sight labeled NVG and being unable to push it…

Other sights have various toggles, so why not this one? It’s not like the toggle does anything on them currently (except the one with the flip-on zoom lease I guess).

Just take a cheap-rear end small-mid size backpack, it helps to be able to just grab poo poo and move away from dangerous areas before deciding what to keep. Then you can ditch it when you're ready to go.
