New teaser for the arena stuff. No real indicator on what the new bp stuff will look like, though. They also say "less than two weeks" which gives me the impression it will release on the 20th or something, which is no longer mid-April.
The replies are also a nice reminder than most of the playerbase are fucking morons.

I always wonder how people have the balls to try and peek a sniper. If you don't assumption of their position isn't absolutely perfect you'll just end up dead, every time. Especially so in the open, where it's much harder to spot the guy shooting at you.

To the anon asking why you use the handheld rangefinder, it's more useful to have more of your screen visible the scope mount and extra verticality of the rangefinder block a lot of your screen and you either have to move your character which gets you spotted or accept a quarter of your screen is now obscured by the tower of autism on your gun.

He was obviously a squadnigger, since his backpack had lots of different non-fir mags filled with ammo, but no PMC guns etc. on him. Thank god the ammo on him was the absolute best fucking pen ammo for multiple different guns.

Yeah, okay. I sure as hell wasn't playing like that, when I had 150 hours played and was playing solo. He didn't even check any corners and just giga aggressively pushed through all the angles and openings, just beelining to my direction all the time. Also knew where I was immediately after coming from behind the corner. If that dude didn't have at least radar on, then I don't know what's what.

Yeah, the way he chased me absolutely screamed ESP. Even poopsocks don't play like that, since there's always the possibility of "me" having a squadmate or me not being in the exact spot they assume me to be. Poopsocks do info peeks and baits, throw nades, not just run to your exact spot like that.

I have no fucking idea despite being nearly done with the quest. I usually rush abandoned marked and kill anyone trying to open it, terragroup/mvd/concordia security, or hang around residential near tarbank to shoot at people going into lexos from that side (never fucking happens). Camping green flare is pretty shit but if you don't really feel like actively rushing gunshots and getting shot on the way to them 9/10 times it's an option.

Whoever you are: well played. If only you had not pushed me so aggressively, you could've actually won. I had like 15 rounds left by the time you decided to push my fat ass. But I guess you were wounded and couldn't do anything about it, so you had no choice.

It was fun running around the mall after I found those ledexes, since I had already won, especially by snatching them off of some sweatlord squad. Ran into that pscav too, who fought me like a champ, while I described above. 5/5 raid.

I keep trying to make the rocket launcher work and it keeps doing fucking nothing for half a mil a shot. I watched more videos on it and learned that it tries to fill rooms and explode around cover. If you shoot it in the open it only has a 6m radius but if you shoot it in a tunnel it can go 20m+. It can curve around cover like if you shoot a pillar on factory it goes around hits the dude behind it. I figured shooting it here would absolutely nuke the fucker and it did nothing.

Reserve has a retarded amount of bt/bp/bs spawns if you feel like running around grabbing them. If you go to woods and take the btr to depot it always has bs/7n40/igolnik in 120 packs. You can also go to streets and hit any of the three ammo room keys or try to kill kolontay and his guards for anywhere from 120 to 500+ bp depending on your luck.

These games are shit without pvp, though. It's the only thing that creates any tension or sense of danger. After you learn how the AI works, the games just become utterly boring without the erratic nature of human players.

>>563046804
Shitter cope, as usual. I'm playing 100% solo and only rarely get the feeling that something was off about the other person's gameplay. I do a lot of sneaking, hiding and ambushing, and people just tend to be completely oblivious to my existence. Only cheaters (ESPers too) are those, who magically peek obscure corners and have precognitive abilities in those situations, while legit players are the ones, who shit themselves.

>>
>>
>>563047492
You will grow out of bots being fun to fight very quickly. Even coop shooter pve focused games get boring quickly because all of them cater to people that suck at games and don't have any real difficulty to them. There isn't anything in any game that comes even close to the thrill of hunting down another player in a game with high stakes.

>I hope they fix the issues they're having with cheaters one day
The state of modern gaming means this is impossible no matter what game company is making a game. It'd be nice if BSG did a better job of handling it, but you can't avoid it in competitive games.

Oh, and I checked his profile and he had sub 200 hours played, standard account and all the suspicious achievements on him. I'm so fucking sick of these obvious as fuck espers running around and ruining games, while BSG being completely powerless to do anything about them.

Customs, this set of windows can watch a massively wide area. Both these are in the same raid, was pretty pleased with that first penetration kill through cover. 1 more setup kill to go! Killed a guy clear on the other side of the river in my previous raid too, kinda crazy considering this piece of shit gun has 3 moa and you only get 1 chance per target.

Nigger what the fuck are you even talking about? No benefit whatsoever? How about not potentially losing track of your target while chambering another round because you're hundreds of meters away? The DVL is even one of the rifles that's best for this given the minimal amount of movement while operating the bolt while looking down your scope. What does you standing on a potentially exposed angle have to do with you doing something slightly dumb? Do you think there's fucking scope glint like battlefield or something? Under the circumstances of your webm you had no reason to stop aiming while operating the bolt after every shot. You getting called retarded was deserved.

It really depends. You can get away with a sidearm most of the time, but I've killed very geared players with a backup smg while doing SBiH on multiple occasions. Are you gunna be moving around the map the whole raid and have rubles to spare? If so then I'd run a backup smg. Otherwise just grab a 5-7 since it's the best pistol in the game and is plenty capable of clapping a pmc up close under the right circumstances.
It's mostly about money, anyway. If you have more money and gear than you could ever really give a shit about then just run an smg backup. I tend to run a bolt action as a backup rather than the other way around, but if you want a cheaper option then I always suggest the SR-2. It's flesh ammo is extremely affordable and has 20 pen, which means you can cuck death shadow users while still having the ability to quickly leg meta anyone else. The only real downside is the 30 round mags.

I have long since grown past even entertaining the idea of "clearing" a building. I just run straight past with a single glance at whatever window I got shot at from last time I died and pretend everything will be fine.
>>
>>563272640
I mean I try to check what I think a person would be hiding at but you know that boiler room some guy was just hiding in between all the boilers. Not anywhere near a window just literally sitting there hoping someone would come through. Prestige 4 BP round meta mutant skullface wearer. And they play like that. I just dont really get the mental illness. I even went through that side building instead of the main one because I thought it was less likely a person would be in there. And if hiding like that wasnt enough of course he swing peeks me right as he waits till im in the wide open so I cant react either due to ping advantage. It's like ridiculous esports level of trying to not die and giving me no chance to even fire a shot. No wonder tarkov players hate arena they cant just be a little bitch and get exposed in real shooting fights
>>
>>563273014
>It's like ridiculous esports level of trying to not die and giving me no chance to even fire a shot
This is what annoys me the most. I'm fine with getting ambushed but I want to be able to at least see where I'm getting shot from, maybe even return a few shots before I die. I've recently died to someone prone at extract waiting for who knows how long for someone to walk into him, and someone prone in a pile of dead scavs and players and both times made me fuck off to do something else for a few hours. Not having any way to fight back or even protect yourself with good gear from someone choosing to wait for 15+ minutes not doing anything is unbearable.

>>563274191
I blame kill quests making people use shitty weapons or gear on maps they don't like leading to them just ratting for the kills. It's not fun fighting a dude with an altyn and an NL while you have to wear a ushanka and use a shotgun or whatever dogshit the game wants.
>>
>>563274603
There's definitely too many forced PvP quests but I actually like some of them. Setup and shooterborn are actually interesting and the handicap offsets the ratting. Test drive however is terrible, it requires WAY too many kills and if you dont like the gun you absolutely will just rat/extract camp to get it over with instead of playing normally.

>>563279971
Cultist can spawn at any point in the raid, on Customs, it's one spot. On woods it's two. Thusly Customs is the choice. I have seen them far more frequently at the middle or end of the raid than the beginning. So the best way is to just sprint to the closest sniper spot facing stronghold and wait. But yes, it definitely feels way lower than 30%

The new central buildings on either side of stronghold are great, just get inside those and you'll have a million angles to look out from. I'm a fan of actually sitting in the exposed multi-story metal structure next to skeleton, you can get great visibility from there. Also the three sets of windows on that overlook the bridge in the other new warehouse are great too, especially if you rush them at the start of raid.
If you're going into those buildings later in the raid, just make sure you're sprinting through. Most of the time people will be way up high and aiming downwards, which is an awkward shot for them on a fast target. Don't give them much opportunity. Otherwise, if you stay outside the buildings but hug the wall, they can't get an angle on you. If they're really thirsty they'll have to move, which means you'll hear them behind you as you're running away.

It sucks because I really don't enjoy pvp games because to actually be competitive you have to treat it like a job and constantly try to learn in ways that aren't fun where you just grind reps of whatever bullshit to try and catch up to the good players. The only pve game I've played that was difficult and really fun was gtfo, but you really need 2-3 people to play it with which makes scheduling suck.
>>
>>563305314
I feel like tarkov PVE has moments of difficulty when you're getting swarmed.
Terminal is legitimately quite difficult.
But, they just don't bother doing it very often and most PVE is just plinking a random Scav that walks 50m infront of you and doesn't see you.
I do wonder how much of it is just down to Niggitka being a cheap faggot and not wanting to spawn too much AI, or AI that has any intelligence because it would be more demanding of the servers.
>>
>>563305314
>have to treat it like a job
I'd agree on other games but for tarkov there's a certain type of person (like me) that doesn't need to grind the game into the ground to have fun. Remember that 1 well-placed bullet of the right caliber can kill any gigachad in the game. The most important tool in tarkov is game knowledge, not gear/rubles. If you simply learn a TON about the game, you can leverage the tools you have available to you most effectively, and still have a great time in the game despite not being at max traders.
It's a game about surviving and succeeding despite all the odds stacked against you, doesn't winning despite the struggle make it that much more appealing?
>>
>>
>>563307142
Everyone says that knowledge is most important and then conveniently forget that every giga-chad has 15k hours and has more map knowledge on a single floor in resort than I will ever have in the entire game.
>>
>>563307293
All the time, my favorite loadout is a Klin with pstm. Although I'll admit I use the lvl5 korund plate in a 6b23. Pstm is good ammo you can get at lvl1 workbench.
>>563307337
Yeah and knowledge also means that you don't just rush the hotspots headfirst, because you know you're at a gear disadvantage. What I'm talking about is the fact that it's 100% possible for someone starting late to make great progress through the game simply because they know how everything works. When you're low on trader levels you just need to worry about getting tasks done for exp and progress. You don't need to be competing with gigachads for marked rooms and labs runs.

Spt is like a time capsule of the final update before 1.0. they optimized it the past few months and there are also mods. In general being aeble to cheat up your strength and attention or skip annoying quests makes it way better. You can even mod in radar if you are learning and I think it helps a lot. I reinstalled today and using this mod makes the game 1000x better now that I can actually see. Which is something they addressed in 1.0 but u will want this mod to do it in spt. https://forge.sp-tarkov.com/mod/2601/smajlecs-lights

>>
>>563336482
>>563320830
for me personally, "real" tarkov is something I would never be interested in because I dislike the survival aspects like having to eat, drink, fix bleeding and broken bones, etc. SPT is kind of a godsend in that regard because it lets you just mod all that out. It makes the game a lot more arcadey, but if you look into all the different mods there are for it you can basically make the game play however you want. I have it set up so that there's no bleeding, no energy or hydration, and no weight, and I've got regenerating health that kicks in after 30 seconds of not getting hurt, but I've also got the AI cranked up to the point that every encounter is genuinely challenging with how aggressive they are. Having regenerating health like this really changes the dynamic since you can't run away and use a medkit, you have to wait 30 seconds no matter what (I guess you could use a medkit but personally I just refrain from using them), and that means that that's 30 seconds of extreme vulnerability if you got knocked down to like, 50 HP or whatever. Not to mention that the bots aren't just terminators that just rush you down, some of them will do that especially in a group but they can also sneak and camp and just wait for you too. My survival rate is like 57% or something. I think people get hung up on the idea that SPT is supposed to be like, an exact replica of online tarkov, when you can really kind of make it whatever you want it to be.

Also, a protip for night factory is to grenade the top of the medical area. That stair case is really hard to push because they can delay peek the window and it's a really hard angle to clear because of it. If you grenade the windowed area either they die or they move so you know they're up there.

Why is everyone so fucking allergic to playing the game in a way that is fun? Why can't I just have a single raid without one of these 10 k/d niggermen that will wait 30 minutes for a single kill?
>>
>>563378161
Dont get me wrong anyone who plays like that is a total fag but with cultists especially on customs you just have to expect everyone is camping it. That's what 99% of people playing night customs are there for.
Any other time they should rope for playing that way
>>
>>563378416
The dude was literally 5 fucking meters away from the priest and did nothing the entire time. I really don't understand it at all. If he needs to kill cultists for the story (10 kd poopsock level 50-someting so he doesn't) he'd have killed them and left, and if he needs money he can just farm marked rooms or something that is actually profitable and not all that risky compared to cultists on customs. I can't understand the mindset at all and that's what pisses me off.

>>563395886
You can buy a marked key for 4 mil or less and every hit is at least a mil with how juiced they are now. I really don't see a point in risking so much on hunting cultists for them instead of buying them.
>>
>>563395981
>buying
>also implies selling
and spend your own money? Rather than make money selling the keys? Where do you think those keys you buy come from? Cultists farmers are supplying 95% of those keys sans the jacket/CC/scav finds.

>Killed Reshala and the boys, the Goons, Cultists, 2x PMC's. Leaving green flare with 2min. Dude hiding deep IN green flare whole time. He didn't get my keys sure but he got a few kits and enough ammo for the week
>>
>>563396962
I don't see how the cost of the kits for killing cultists and fending off the other players hunting cultists will ever make a positive income compared to just rushing marked rooms with a bought key and shoving the keycards/btc/rr/taiga up your ass and making a mil. I've never felt that it was worth it to hunt cultists for profit other than during the event where they were spawning often and with 3+ marked keys.

Small chance they are in the bunker at raid start, another chance when you hit power, and you can also get them to spawn near hermetic if you hit the switch for that on a chance too. You can also wait for the train to come which can spawn them near hermetic as well.

>gotten 9/20 so far
>either every raid is completely dead or I run into metaslop squads while just doing my thing and taking things slow
Never before have I realized how much I hate the 9 mm and the MP5. PBP doesn't really spawn anywhere and the amount you can buy is spent in a single raid easily. AP 6.3 simply doesn't destroy armor fast enough, nor does it have high enough pen to go through shit like altyns or tagilla masks, while people are using in squads quite a lot at this point. With flesh ammo the TTK is too slow due to the RPM, so even from a good ambush position the target has plenty of time to turn around and doink your ass.
God I hate trying to do this task. It would be at least a little easier, if I ran into some shitters from time to time, but nooooo, it's only squads and people with 5000 - 10 000 hours played.
>>

>>563444259
Aight, I've now done 11 Interchange raids with an MP5SD, died every single raid without getting a PMC kill. One raid I died to a obvious hacker, every other raid I've just succumbed to my +5000 hours gigachad's top of the line bullets, losing every single 1 vs. 1 I've gotten myself into. Either I get 0 shots at them or it's like 9001 armor damage done.
Holy fuck I'm so full of this fucking game. Tried to take another anon's advice and just loot around and do other stuff, so I'll run into other retards, but noooo. Even in the darkest of fucking loot void spots I run into tagilla masked and atlyned squads.

They should've made it so you could use a variety of 9 mm SMGs. On top of being dogshit, the MP5SD doesn't even allow much customization, so you are literally running the same gun over and over again.
>>

>>563450389
I did NOT take that one anon's advice and I'm now down 13 raids of just dying and not surviving a single one. I've regressed so much that I now lose 1 vs 1 against solo pmcs who have like 1/5 of my playtime. Pretty sure I've lost like close to 10 million in gear during this spree.

>Pop MULE and a bunch of stamina stims etc., still need to crawl forward
>check for vexfil, no car, but instead find someone's insurance frauded exfil + nvgs

After the overhaul the mall has become pretty stale, to be honest. It used to be so bad with the rats, but now a good portion of the PMCs just rush the new camp, so the concentration of players inside the mall is much lower. I can just solo loot KIBA like 8/10 of my raids without any problems, when in the past going inside Kiba was a death sentence.

As a solo player it's the best course of action. At that moment, you have all the cards in your hands and shooting them in the back just makes sense. Would be kinda stupid to just activate, let them know of your presence and increasing your odds of not surviving in the name of chivalry or something.

Just got killed by a low-level exfil camper at 1.5 minutes left after looting the whole Interchange clean. Not gonna lie, lads, shit feels pretty awful. Timer had 4 seconds left and of course his 5.45 BT went through my cl 4 helmet with a single shot too.

Do cheaters not see if I'm a regular scav or an AI scav? I almost killed a guy by sneaking up on him but my shotgun was too unreliable, then he aimbotted me (really obvious since it was tracers all hitting exactly the same spot). Either he toggled aimbot when he got shot with like a mouse button or his aimbot/wallhacks dont differentiate between pscavs and regular scavs

I should just fucking move. Just lost a couple of TD2 due this this smooth brain mindset:
>spawn near OLI's entrance
>rush to meet the other guys, who spawn near the entrance too
>they are running tangentially from where I'm aiming from with my shit ass fucking mp5sd, at least 3 guys
>quickly get into a better position and go prone, so they'll cross my line of fire without any cover
>think those thoughts out loud that I just described

Yeah, one of them probably just freelooked around and saw me while running. If I had just fucking kept moving, I would still be alive. Fuck my retarded fucking brain.

Still bought another ULACH and got one-shot to the head via top of the head, but with PBP this time and became someone else's TD2 kill. Holy fuck I hate this game so fucking much. Fourth raid in a row where I just get insta doinked through my helmet and in 3/4 by absolute fucking dogshit ammo too. Glad I brought along with me an attack bp/blackjack every raid, so I could just fucking donate it to my killer.

Strangely, only with this game. I quite literally never get this angry with anything in life, nor have I gotten this frustrated and angry with any video game in my life. Still, I keep coming back to this game, since it gives highs like no other, while also providing such lows that it's unthinkable - at least for me.
At least I finally got into a raid where I found good loot, killed a bunch of PMCs, Tagilla and four pillagers on my way to the exfil. Finally a raid I could call successful.

There are plenty of shitters on night factory, and even the sweaty players tend to be bad for some reason. They just camp more but cant aim. If you bring a flashlight and do the circle strafing around corners you will do well with basically any gun. Bring smokes and grenades to clear the super impossible angle (roof of med building is hard to push for example)
It's definitely easier than night customs which is where the mega autists go

Most people suck at throwing grenades and even if youre in the wide open their body can block the shrapnel. Nades are way more likely to let you live than some guy somehow missing a free headshot as you loot. And if youre running to extract youre not attracting anything they're either camping you or not. Not going to make people look

Yes to both. It waits a little bit then goes for a match so if someone's been searching 3 mins it will only be like half full lobby. I got my punisher kills camping chalet both sniping at them and shotgunning the rebel extractors.

You're most likely to find players around the chalets. You can also find players around southern road closer to the start of the raid. It's not like there's never any PMCs around the WTP but they're few and far between. Y

extremely fast now, before factory was 5 minutes now if Im lucky i can get in under 45 seconds... insane difference!

It's definitely good, but still has some shit aspects like autists camping. That makes it unique and terrifying though I guess

You absolutely can abuse the dogshit out of the audio in this game. Notice how I always seem to know when a guy is coming in this clip? It's because I can hear them. I've been called out for cheating because I shoot before a guy is coming around a corner just because I hear them so many times that it's ridiculous. I have a sound profile set up to hear footsteps better, but most guys have IEMs and crank their volume up and give themselves long term hearing damage. There's 100% cheaters in arena, but a lot of the time you can tell when they're just abusing audio.

Probably comparable to that piece of shit Hera Arms foregrip, if I had to guess. It also really fucking irritates me how every foregrip is mounted disgustingly close to the magwells on most rifles. Nobody mounts their grips as close as the dumbfuck PMCs in this game do. It's also retarded how every stock on a buff tube is retracted as far as they'll go. Guess that's normal for malnourished Russian mutants with arm lengths comparable to 12 year olds.

>why does it need to look so goof
Because it's actually an airshit helmet, the description on the battlepass versions even mention that.
>ulach just looks the coolest
For me it's the FAST MT, but I wish it was available in multicam.

I keep switching back and forth between ap rounds and flesh rounds, but every time I pick up flesh rounds, I feel like I keep facing people with heavy armor and a faceshielded helmet, legs hidden behind cover etc. RIP is another story, but with quakemaker the rpm of the MP5 is just way too slow to win in a fair fight, when the other guy can just laser your chest or face.
Now I just put a 50-rounder full of PBP, then a mix of PBP and quakemaker into my 30-rounders. I have like 2000 rounds of PBP left as of now.

I think I'm going to start using this fucking airsoft mask. I would've died twice without face protection, and I'm sure as hell not gonne use those shit smeared ballistic faceshields, especially since they cost like 100k a piece.
I've become the thing I hate.

Aight. Due to not being able to play that much, this is like the third week in a row of doing nothing but interchange and trying to get td2 kills. Shit's getting pretty tiring, not gonna lie, lads. Once again spent the evening trying to get kills, but got 0 and now I ran out of time to play. Some day, anons, some day.

damn bro take a break and run a fun kit

>do another raid
>another set of mags filled with PBP, cl 6 armor and so on
>get killed by someone sitting in a random corner two minutes into the raid
Yeah, I guess it's time to stop for today, before I lose my shit completely.

>>563763101
Then I won't be making any progress, so I'll just need to torture myself after work every day couple of hours per day until I get this task done. I can't even remember what other maps or guns feel at this point. Never before in my life have I ran Interchange this fucking much.
Also it's ridiculous how many of my insured MP5SDs get taken. Like who the FUCK wants to pick that shit ass gun up? I understand taking the mags, but I'd never pick this fucking cursed gun up, if one of my kills had it.

I did not take my advice, went into another raid and got insta facetapped after getting stuck between rocks in the middle of fucking nowhere. Of course there was a guy there just aiming at that random spot, where I have NEVER BEFORE seen or heard anyone. I'm literally going insane at this point. Might as well just start deathspamming, since I'm already invested in this.

I'm chasing those highs and this game is like gambling to me. When I start doing shit, I just start deathspamming to eventually get a good raid and reset my streak of shit. Though, this TD2 running is starting to get ridiculous at this point, but I'm already so close to completing the task and after that, I can finally do fun stuff and run better gear. THREE WEEKS I'VE BEEN TRYING TO DO THIS, ANON, THREE WEEKS!

>>563766280
It's also funny how my SR has gone from 50% to 44% in the span of these three weeks trying to get those TD2 kills. Wish I could play more per day, so I could get this task done faster. It's only a few raids a day, though, so the progress is ridiculously slow.
