Has anyone else been having a lot of questionable deaths since the wipe? I've had a lot of examples of player scavs (generally) just knowing exactly where I am and hunted me down when I haven't moved or made a sound for several moments. I've been playing this game for four years now and have a pretty high bullshit threshold, but I've had some really suspect encounters just in the few days since wipe.

I think it’s mostly that the type of people who grind tarkov instead of doing things with loved ones for the holidays tend to be pretty good at the game

Apparently tokarev ammo has pretty good penetration in real life, they should make competitive (30+ pen) rounds for 9x18 and 7.62 short.

Also let me put a sight on the ppsh in some bubba way

You can probably use a PP-19 with a butt pad and a cobra to 90% usability, which is probably closer to 50k.

But really you should join UMP gang and shoot a better, cheaper bullet than AP 6.3 for a somehow even cheaper gun off flea market

ACP isn't better than AP 6.3

AP sure is, it has higher pen, armor damage and base damage (and 1shots limbs). It's also cheaper

There's a spectrum of haziness to the degree that it's actually unusual to have a perfectly clear day for sniping- even looking across from big red to Tarkov truck is usually fairly obscured

Tarkov is a PvP game though, the entire premise is shooting people to take their loot.

The average level in a game is like 25-30 anyway, it's not like every other player you're going to see is going to be a space marine. Especially on factory, where most of the time you're only going to see pistol/bolty guys

I think they said that the first story quest was going to be in this patch (probably bumped back like all the other cool stuff), but I would bet on them being slightly more elaborate (instanced?) quests with voice acting

Prior to flea market, finding gear in crates or on dudes you've murdered is exciting as you don't really have a way to obtain a bunch of stuff, making things like suppressors, optics and high tier gear priceless.

After flea market you can assign a monetary value to things and that cheapens the experience a little bit

I can imagine situations where you're telling at the guy above you on 3 story, which while not materially useful really heightens the experience.

It's more that way fewer people play PMC on reserve, where raiders and gluhar will kill you instantly, versus many more people wanting to scav in to get low stakes high value loot. Demand far outweighs supply

If you see another player in this game, what's you're first instinct, to jerk them off? I want your can of tall beef and your spark plug, and the XP I get from taking them off your dead body. Fear doesn't play into it at all.

I never really played dress-up in this before but it has really paid off. I put on the scavviest jacket and pants available a little while ago and today a player scav snuck up behind me but didn't shoot, presumably because they thought I too was a scav. USEC Aggressor TAC jacket wins again.

White jacket red armband and jeans will make you invisible to player scavs
