sound off if you're going BEAR this wipe (or if you're cool like me and go BEAR every wipe)

USECS can post too if they want but we got our eyes on you

Been playing as a BEAR since like 2017. The only valid choice

HIgh-cap mags being more likely to have failure to feeds and the overheating stuff really is gonna change up the late game meta and I love it. The longer they keep that early game feel where every piece of looted gear feels valuable the better

Shoreline's the only map besides Interchange that hasn't gotten an update and it shows. It really is my least favorite map

Woods is still probably my favorite. I grab as much woodland camo as I can, a nice rifle and I just play hide and seek

Right now lighthouse is a massive money maker for me. Since this wipe they opened up the ability to get on the rooftops in the chemical plant, it's easy to run down there, loot 2 or 3 rogue bodies and run out at the Industrial Gate with a bunch of very valuable guns and armor. Easily make like 250k each time I survive a run. Only thing to watch out for is that there's a lot more scav on scav violence there than any other map

I guess I'm one of the few weirdos who loves pre-flea market time when all you have is a double barrel and a dream. Fights feel super satisfying when you punch well above your weight

Yeah, GAMMA is a lot of fun, and best of all it's pretty modular. I turned off the imo dumb economy (why did they think not being able to buy armor and guns was good) and it's now the perfect blend of STALKER atmosphere with EFT style health and shooting

Gotta say, the new audio system is really good. I know we've all been complaining about tarkov's wonky audio system for years so I'm extremely pleased with this

Okay, found this just laying at the back of Goshan. Had to run to KIBA to find someone dead with a ScavBP, the loving thing is 5x2 :popeye: We'll see what's behind that wall.

It's a Gym, interestingly enough.

Alright friends, I've decided I hate myself enough to start playing this game. What are some semi viable gun and ammo combos I can use out of the gate that are going to be semi effective for a babby boy?

.366 EKO rounds and the AK that shoots them can be bought very early on once you unlock the trader Jaeger. These rounds have solid armor pen for the early to mid wipe, and have a lot of flesh damage

Peacekeeper also buys most stuff so dumping crap you won't use immediately is a good way to raise that

Honestly, with how they're trying to drag out the early and mid game, level 3 armor is pretty sufficient for your average fire fight since most people are gonna be running lower tier ammo

Do any of you actually encounter obvious cheaters on a regular or semi-regular basis? The official forums and EFT subreddit have gone full "Salem Witch Trials" about the game being completely overrun cheaters but after 5 years I still haven't really encountered any. I feel like large steamers are really hurting the game community by second guessing their deaths almost every time.

I think last wipe I ran into about 3 people who I definitely could say we're cheating and about maybe 6 who were suspicious. Over the course of like 4 months of daily playing, I'd say that's a fairly low percentage

So I'm taking a break from multiplayer tarkov thanks to the cheating epidemic and I set up SPT. Anyone got any mods they recommend for that? I've already gotten the Server Values Mod and I've used it to tweak a few things

Tibbeh
Apr 5, 2010
I really recommend the SAIN AI mod, helps make the AI more interesting while also not having them be headshot machines. It just got updated for 3.7 too


Edit: also 3.7 runs way smoother than 3.6.1 did I find

I finally managed to do it. One thing that helped was that I managed to kill a level 4 guy on Ground Zero that had some of the best gear I've even seen, including an AK 545 with the ELCAN 1x/4x scope. I took that into Woods and it helped me spot at least one PMC and avoid him.

Just before Jaeger's camp a scav attacked me and I killed him. But the noise attracted a player and he took some shots at me before I could get the letter. I retreated and waited a bit and had some players run really close to me, but they didn't see me. Then I got the letter and ZB-16 was open and I got out.

I'm beginning to get my bearings on the map and that helps make it more enjoyable. I still haven't figured out the mine field at the USEC camp. When I spawn there, I run into it every time :)

It's the backside of the hill. Stay away from that and you're golden

Getting to these crashed drones on shoreline is such a loving pain. Started running shoreline a couple days ago since I have so many quests on it. It’s not too bad, though I’ve avoided the medical resort completely so far lol. But yeah this drone quest is proving really hard to get done. Do I have to grab both of the drone pieces in one raid? Or could I get one, extract and turn it in, then do the other one later? Just curious.

You don't have to get them all in one raid.

Agreed, but luckily S.t.a.l.k.e.r:: Anomaly: Gamma isn't too far removed from exactly that! And it's free!

e: I imagine there's already quite a bit of crossover between stalker and tarkov goons, but if there's even one of you that haven't given gamma a go, do yourself a favor and check out the how-to-install guide on the discord link, and the stalker thread is mostly people playing anomaly anyway, so if you run into any problems :justpost:

Did I mention it's free?

I've already put several hundred hours into GAMMA and I love it, but I was thinking more of enjoying tarkov's looting and PvP aspect mixed with that delicious STALKER atmosphere

Dunno if anyone else here plays Arena, but it appears that we've got a sort of pre-wipe event going. BSG unlocked a bunch of kits for everyone and gave people 5 mil roubles to play around with them
