These people have to be like, using bots for real right? There is no way people would keep playing if they survived less than every tenth raid?

Also, in hindsight my "I only have 53% tihihi" could be construed as a humblebrag, it was in no way intended as such and every time I go into a raid I feel like Sarah Connor at Tech Noir.

Whats the wisdom on helmets with visor then? I'm not a place where i can run it constantly, but I've scrapped up enough that i can do a semi-tryhard run once in a while.

"The wisdom" seems to be always bring hearing, which excludes most good visors. I've survived firefights a couple of times because my visor ate a shot or two, most noticeable a Kiver visor (class 3) bouncing an Igolnik round, but on the other hand it's impossible to say how many times I survived a firefight because I heard the other guy earlier than I would have without hearing.

I've been taking it very very easy this wipe, I have 26 PMC raids RN, so less than 1 per day since wipe, and I just unlocked flea. Now obv I haven't had an average of 6200xp per played raid, but focus on questing is your friend.

hello internet posted:

There was a streamer a few weeks ago that streamed blatantly cheating for a few days before getting banned by twitch and he mentioned how surprised he was how few cheaters there were(besides him). Not saying there aren’t hackers in tarkov but I found that fairly interesting how often redditors are screaming about the game being over run.

This is really just the same as some hacker going "there's always several hackers in every raid" or some dogshit like that, cheating/hacking doesn't give you magical powers to discern other hackers.

Had to turn off binaural audio for now, it made woods unplayable. Weird echos, sound stutters, distortion, and static. After I extracted I realized the problem was there from the start of the raid, it just kept getting worse and worse and for the first half of the raid I heard people that weren't there (which was probably my own echo). Also bushes on woods make no rustling noise whatsoever when you move through them, unclear if it's still audible for other players of if bushes are totally silent.

Landmark is just so incredibly full of himself (even for a streamer), and he has an enormous number of dudes wanting to ride his dick that scream "HAXXXXX" the second he dies. I have no idea how informative it is to watch someone that good at PVP to learn anything either, tbh.

Just make sure the raid timer is at 12:59 or less (for factory). Run through counts only time from raid start, so if your scav spawns late raid, you literally can't get a run through even if you'd somehow extract the same second you spawn in.

Rep is +0.01 for every successful scab extraction.

Yeah, it now makes sure all PMCs are loaded in and ready before starting the raid. That's why you have the "waiting for players" stage of loading in (and if you've never seen that I guess you're the one everyone is waiting for. :v:)

I haven't gotten into this wipe yet, but sitting around refreshing fence can net you lots of unavailable ammo that people for some weird reason sell to him. Not high-tier stuff on the reg mind you, but the removed level 1 trader stuff turn up all the time. My pmc is level 6 and I already have about 1500 rounds of pst gzh, some 400 rounds of M855 and I think about 1000 7.62x39 PS. Plus assorted small batches of maybe 40-50 rounds of .45AP, 7N31, SNB and others.

Group tarkov can certainly be a mixed bag.

In one of the first games I played, we did a scav run trio. Before loading in I mentioned "oh rad I have a mosin" Upon loading in my friend went "oh sweet that scav has a mosin" and shot me in the face.

Have you considered that your friend might be an idiot?

I'm having some issues with Skier's task "Chemical - part 1" where you have to track down the Deputy Chief's hideout on Customs.

My task completion looks like this


I'm pretty sure I've never actually handed over the item even though it shows it. I've been to the train cart and I can't find the item, so maybe it doesn't spawn. I've also bought the Room 220 key off the fleamarket and been to room 220.

Nothing seems to progress the task.

Am I missing something or is it bugged?

The "items that can help with the investigation" is the 220 key, so either you handed it in or the game is making GBS threads itself somehow. So far I've never had the folder not spawn, but with Tarkov you just never know. It's a bit tricky to find now that it can spawn in a couple of different locations in the train car.

not having a compass available right from the start was always a silly choice on BSGs part anyway and if I remember right they didn't even implement them at all until a couple of years ago.

Compass was added at the same time as heavy bleeds, so end of 2020 IIRC?
