As someone that just bought the game, I'm pretty happy with being guided towards Ground Zero. It reasonably easy to learn and I feel pretty much at home there already. Some of the other maps like Woods and Shoreline seem pretty daunting in comparison, with no cover and imagined enemies behind every tree.

As a new player, my dilemma is that I'm 95% likely to die on a raid. Often without even seeing the guy that killed me. So I don't want to take expensive gear into the raid. And by not taking in good gear, I decrease my chances of making it out alive even further. Ofc, to me, that's a good dilemma. I enjoy figuring out cheap stuff I can bring or how to work around not having good stuff and still live. And I absolutely love the intensity of the gameplay. Sprinting across an open space through sniper fire, trying to make it to an extract point feels absolutely epic. I think I'm going to uninstall COD DMZ. I'll never play that again

Trying to unlock Jaeger as a newbie is pretty frustrating. I think I've done 15-20 runs today. Most end with me getting domed by someone that know what they're doing.

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

Sometimes you get lucky. I was running around on Ground Zero with a VPO-215 "Gornostay".Trying to get some bolt action kills for Jaeger with the cheapest gear possible. I got in a medium/long range fight with someone and landed a head shot on him, killing him. Turns out he had - what I think is - Knight's gear. A CPC GE plate carrier rig and a Mk47 AR. This is my first wipe so this is stuff I've never seen before. The wiki doesn't list a seller for the rig so I assume you have to get it from a drop?

I hit level 21 and can't go to Ground Zero anymore. The only map I feel like I know. What's a good map to learn after that? I liked that Ground Zero was relatively small but still big enough that I could do runs without running into anyone when I wanted to avoid combat.

Kazinsal posted:Three scav runs in a row tonight I've been sprayed down by another pscav at the extract. I also get killed a lot. My theory is that new players haven't figured out the mechanics of scav runs yet. Or struggle with telling the difference between scavs and PMCs. I can't tell the difference either, so I've just resorted to not shooting anyone when I'm a scav.

I'm doing the "find morphine" quest for therapist and I'm a little surprised that the "find morphine in raid" part counts if you find it on a scav run.

There are two subgoals in the quest: - Find morphine in raid - Turn in 'found in raid' morphine. It's the first part that seems to work during scav raids. Or maybe I found one during a PMC run and forgot.

The scav traitor rules seem a little weird. If I shoot at another scav without hitting them, if they then shoot back and hit me, they become a traitor, correct? So if I have some good armor and a good gun, I can shoot at other scavs and goad them into shooting me. And then kill them for loot and Fence rep?

Arrath posted:It's very, very tight quarters so by virtue of that alone you're more likely to run into one, yeah. P-scavs don't load into Factory until later so hopefully most PMCs are dead or extracted by then but there's no guarantee. There has been no PMCs left on Factory, when I do scav runs there. Related to scav runs, is it just me that thinks that Fence's dailies are impossible or don't make sense? Mine today is to kill 9 scavs with thorax or arms shots from over 50m. Then he'll reward me with 0.04 rep. But if I do that, I'll get -0.9 for being a traitor 9 times. Or do I need to find 9 scav traitors and then kill them from over 50m with thorax shots? That sounds impossible. Edit: Am I missing that I can do his tasks as a PMC? Jakosa fucked around with this message at 12:16 on Feb 29, 2024 |

Is there a good explanation of the health system somewhere? I had a fight with another PMC where I hit him 21 times with 9x19 AP 6.3 ammo and did 417 damage (and 454 damage absorbed by armor). He hit me twice with 7.62x54R LPS rounds. I died and he did not. After the fight, my health screen looked like this:  I don't really understand why the fight went the way it did.

I managed to get my Shoreline scav kills. I got a lot at the farm in the NE corner of the map. I think that's a new area added recently? Now I'm on Reserve doing Punisher part 2. That's a hard map to exit I'm using the sewer manhole without a backpack. The other extract points seem tough.Thanks for the explanations of the health system. I guess with a 9x19 pea-shooter I need to get better at getting headshots.

I needed a half mask for Punisher 2, so I thought I'd go to Customs and kill some scavs. I spawned near Old Gas Station and went into Warehouse 3. I killed a scav and that caused more scavs to come in a steady stream. I was enjoying myself, chilling and killing scavs. After a while, a couple of PMCs started running around outside, saying that I'd been inside for 20 minutes and I'd have to move sometime. So they'd been camping outside, waiting for me to come out for 20 minutes. And finally lost their patience. I managed to kill one of them and then the other one got me. But I still consider that raid a big win

About what point in my Tarkov career am I going to remember to put the filled up magazines in the gun before entering a raid? And check if I need food and water? It's so embarrassing to find an enemy, line up a headshot and hear the gun go *click* when I press the trigger.

Sometimes something happens where you'd really like to know the story. I was doing a budget run on Customs where I went in with a pistol and a rig. I like to either go to storage or the silos and farm scavs and get some XP. It's usually pretty quiet in the far ends of the map. This time is was at the silos, inside the building next to ZB-1011, and was killing some scavs. I heard some suppressed fire pretty close by, but not close enough that I was worried. But then I started taking some shots from outside and a guy ran in and I thought I was done for. But then he started meleeing me. I killed him with my pistol. And he had a suppressed Mk47 Mutant with Razor scope - AND NO MAGAZINES AND NO AMMO. I was pretty shot up with blacked stomach, so I just ran for my extract at the RUAF roadblock. I didn't expect to make it, but with painkillers and a can of sprats, I somehow made it. I killed some scavs on the way and made it out with no ammo left in my pistol. But I'd really like to know how he got in there with such a nice gun and nothing else.

Shannow posted:If you've never decked yourself out with a sweet kit and got in raid to realise you forgot to load your mags, are you even a Tark player? Oh, I have. But I've never taken a 3-400k gun in with armor class 3 helm and armor and a Gssh-01 headset. It just doesn't add up. My theory is that he must have looted it off of someone in a hurry. The player was level 13, so I doubt he could have gotten the Mutant himself.

Update just landed. The snow is back. The trailer seems to indicate there is an event ongoing where you can spawn some cultists(?) at some bonfires. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EAJXGK7dDaI I just did a scav run on Ground Zero and got a status affliction of "Morana's frostbite" and my screen started freezing over. It indicates that you're close to the bonfires. Prapor also has a couple of tasks related to the bonfires. Jakosa fucked around with this message at 15:20 on Mar 28, 2024 |

Are the presets bugged or am I doing something wrong? When I want to buy the items for my preset, the game thinks that it's a good idea to buy the guns but also buy all the components of the guns at the same time. For instance, here it wants to buy a Glock 17 but also all the components of a Glock 17.

Aexo posted:Technically you don't have those components if you also don't have that gun. Buy the gun first then mod it. Buying the gun first fixes it. It just seems kind of wonky that I have to do that. It's not a modded gun in my preset, so there's no need to buy any parts.

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.

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?

Neon Belly posted:Does it have the intel 3 GPS Signal item? My guess is that what can spawn now on Ground Zero is the same as can spawn on other 'normal' maps. On the low-level Ground Zero, it's my impression that the loot is nerfed, compared to other maps, and there are items that can't drop there. For instance GPUs.

Nidhg00670000 posted: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. I searched the train cart again and found the item. Turned it in and completed the task. I think it's a little confusing that it marks "Hand over the items" as done when it's not done. But I guess the game is still in beta test

Infinitum posted:I'm considering picking this up at some point, do they do free weekends or anything like that to test it out? I bought the game 3-4 months ago and I don't think free weekends would have helped me. If anything, it'd probably have turned me off the game. Tarkov is a game where map knowledge plays a really big part. If you don't know the maps and are playing against people that do, you'll have a hard time. There's no map or minimap to help you, so you have to learn the maps yourself and that takes some time. I've been having Tarkov on my radar for some years. I played COD DMZ and loved it. When COD MW3 came out and they stopped supporting DMZ, I bought Tarkov. It's been a steep learning curve for me, but I absolutely love the game. I can still feel discouraged when I get domed for the 5th time in a row by someone I didn't see, but when you do it to someone else, it just feels so good. And those raids where you get shot up and make it to extract before bleeding out feel epic. It's a fantastic game and if you think it's for you, I 100% recommend it. My only regret is that I didn't buy it earlier. Jakosa fucked around with this message at 08:12 on Apr 9, 2024 |

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.
