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.

Dogtag I found on Night Streets last night, a cheating Chinaman tanking his stats or could someone truly be this bad (He died to a Scav in Concordia like 3 minutes into raid)
>>

were he just a bad player, he wouldn't have 0 scav raids

>>562982836
Scavs don't particularly mean much in the grand scheme, like a month or two ago I was LARPing as a Scav Only guy and starting those Scav Main Shitposts I got 300+ scav raids before playing PMC now I am 488 Raids into PMC.

He could just be a very committed SHITTER

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.

Was 1 survival away from Ready for Anything too.
>>
>>562996982
Likely full on ESP if he's chasing you like that.
>>
>>562996982
yes a perfect aggro push without checking any angles or being cautious about potential teammates/third parties/ etc is just a cheater in almost all cases
>>
>>562996982
Post the clip
>>
>>562997402
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.
>>
>>562997752
total retards might but if they have a good KD it's probably a cheater

I sometimes suicide push but it's never perfect over long distances and turns
>>
>>562996298
>where does the playerbase even go
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.
>>
>>563002503
>exploit the unlock while power is off
Ahh that's why I found it wide open one time

Do you just not need power or is there a trick?
>>
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.

Yes, both. You barely have to do anything other than wiggle your mouse around while looking at the door and it's been this way for like 5+ months.
>>
>>563002635
I've killed people through walls and also had someone shoot me in the kneecaps with one without doing a single point of damage to me. The thing is inconsistent as fuck
>>
>>563002635
You really thought it would go through an entire door and a wall?
>>
>>563002857
It's infuriating because of how much effort it is to try and use one in raid on top of the cost and inconvenience of carrying it around. I just want to blow people up and let them know I spent half a fucking mil doing it.
>>
>>563002913
The door was open and he closed it mid shot I'd guess. I was getting shot by him at the start of the clip and he probably tried to close it when he saw me go to the other side of the room.

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.

>>563045808
it says PvE only in the description so I think they gave up on player versus player shit, dont buy
>>
>>563046420
That's fine, PVP is shit in these games.
>>
>>563046615
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.
>>
>>563046735
Maybe if they had a working anticheat.
>>
>>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.
>>
>>563046615
Yeah I dont think so chief. Maybe when game devs actually design challenging (but fair) AI.

I've played too many shooter games to find killing retarded bots interesting at all. Dont make me post the clip where I ignore scavs for 20 seconds while looting then melee them and partisan to death

>>563047156
I have to commend you for being honest, anon.
>>
>>563047139
That sounds great. I hope they one day fix every raid having a cheater in it or whatever.
But, given they aren't doing that, I'd rather be fighting bots that I can kill over Chinese bots that just immediately Head Eyes me.
>>
>>563036280
How is this even possible? I feel like I find bp, bs and bt boxes every raid and have like 3000 rounds of both, only 7N40 and Igolnik feel somewhat rare, but who even needs them?
>>
>>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.
>>
>>563047613
Well I hope they fix the issues they're having with cheaters one day. Or maybe AI will just get good enough to be indistinguishable.
>>
>>563047815
>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.
>maybe AI will just get good enough to be indistinguishable

The pillagers are kind of annoying, they can bounce rounds and have decently high head hp from what I can tell. They have shitty rounds but they have raider ai and will laser beam your chest/head in the open.

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!

>>563187905
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.
>>
>>563151162
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.
>>
>>563151162
USP or a Five-Seven until I'm done with Stirrup, after that I usually have enough money to just run a suppressed MP7. SR-2M with PE and .45 Vector with Hydrashok are also very viable.

Somehow ive never had this happen to me when fully loaded. Only died while extracting like 2 times and one was on factory so not really camping they chased me down

I'm thinking the transit bug and transits in general have made people stop camping extracts since there's no guarantee any one comes. Plus flares make it harder to guess which one people will leave at
>>
>>563212059
The worst part is I got extract camped by a pscav on fucking streets. I've done this route so many times and barely ever see pscavs at all anymore. I saw 3 in one raid and of course one of them was just prone at a pmc extract waiting.

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.
>>
>>563273208
I genuinely dont think they're even having fun they just play out of habit or addiction and HATE dying
>>
>>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.
>>
>>563270437
MOUT is... le hard?

I'm starting to think the cultist spawn rates are wrong on the websites. There's no way im missing them and nobody is killing them first im pretty sure. Trying both customs and woods and they're definitely not a 30% chance...
>>
did they increase the chance for airdrops? i swear there's a plane in every raid i'm in
>>
>>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%
>>
>>563281425
Oh really, that's fucking stupid. So no wonder people just wait until the raid is over to leave every time and are in no rush to check the spots

>>563300824
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.

alright i think that's enough attempting the event for today. first attempt i managed to kill 6 scavs in customs but got killed by a guy ratting the old gas station. second attempt i didnt find any scavs and got killed by a guy with 15k hours with 6 minutes of raid time remaining

anyone got any tips? i can do the transfer to Customs just fine but killing 6 people and extracting afterwards is hard

>>563304996
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
So how often do you go into raids with bad ammo, a basic gun and lv 4 armor?
>>
>>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.

I'm one of those people who can't help but cheat if I get annoyed, so SPT has always felt a little hollow to me, because I know that if I hate a certain part of it, I'm just inflicting difficulty on myself.
Whereas if I play Tark PVE, it's all on a server and I can't save myself the punishment, so somebody else is inflicting misery on me.

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.

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.

>>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.

Cultist farming is actual endgame as thats who holds the marked keys for marked room farming. Every dirty trick in the book is used there.

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.

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.

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.

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.

>>563449439
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.

am i ratting if i'm moving around an area, stop, hear someone and wait for them to run past? makes me feel like a piece of shit when i'm shooting people in the back
>>
>>563487038
no, ratting is like exfil camping or spending 15 minutes crouch walking up to someone
>>
>>563487038
That's ethical ratting, it happens. Unethical ratting is like rushing to a camp spot and sitting there the whole raid. Exceptions for bolt action users because you have to for those
>>
I feel like I live way more when Im actively moving, way harder for the radar users to cheat and find a good spot to kill me from
>>
>>563489064
that's the secret in games like this, when you're new you hunker down and camp because you're scared to move, but you can be a lot more deadly if you're actively moving around and flanking and not staying in one place

>spawn boiler side of customs
>get raped any time you try to go near fortress
genuinely 100% of the time i try to go via that broken wall train tracks area I die to a camper. This time it was some guy in a window overlooking it somehow, I didnt even get close to the bushes. Customs is the biggest queer map in the game now it's crazy. 10x worse than lighthouse

>>563489708
you could go further beyond the radio tower like you're going to dorms and cross there
>>
>>563489804
I mean I only bring shit kits to rush cultists but it's still annoying to die to rats consistently just watching spawn lanes from impossible to clear angles. They need some sort of scaffolding added so you are at least vertically safe somewhat
>>
>>563490032
yeah they really fucked customs up when they expanded it, there are just too many rat spots now. it was perfect before imo.
>>
>>563490218
Yeah it used to be my favorite map, the new buildings are all so defensive it's wild how strong of positions they are. I dont mind the ones on the edges of the map since they're kind of stand alone but there's around 4 really big buildings people can hide in all around the cultists. Maybe they wanted the cultists liek that
>>
>>563452951

>killed 2 dudes doing the zabralo quest for ragman
Yes, I did steal both of their zabralos and sold them to ragman
>>
>>563507101
A Zabralo is not that hard to get, it would only mildly inconvenience them if they died while it was already under 75% durability.
>>
>>563468626
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.
>>
>>563473601
But anon, having the meta revolve around wasd-dancing, lean spamming and peek abuse is totally rad!
>>
>>563487038
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.
>>
>>563510845
You don't even need to circle strafe with wasd anymore. You just directly spam adadad because there's no inertia

Even in triumph this game makes me feel frustrated. He died after getting hit by like 2 non-headshot R37.X after tanking a whole heap of AP 6.3. Yeah, I got one TD2 kill, but I'm still fucking frustrated for whiffing my chances of getting the second dude with my MP5.

Telling Timmies to go to Interchange and survive for the very first quest in the game is truly some evil shit.
>>
>>563528768
The amount of m9 pistol timmies I've killed while farming the new camp is uncountable.
>>
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.
>>
>>563530419
At least be glad it was a pmc and not a pscav.
>>
>>563530506
Yeah, I guess that's the monofilament of silver lining in this situation. That was a nice reminder to me that no matter how little time is left, always do circle strafing and lean spamming. I just kinda walked to the exfil in peace, since I had not heard a single gunshot go off for like 10 minutes.
>>
>died because the character speed thing was on the second to last setting after letting go of my slow walk key for some reason
Man that's annoying.
>>
>>563532259
should have used the scroll wheel (:

>>563532404
I'm pretty sure it happened because of the scroll wheel which I used to fiddle around with zooming and crouch height not long before dying.

How is this game now? My pc is pretty bad and i only started playing last year. Played a bit till steam release and stopped. Ive heard there a lot of improvements i tested it out and it seems game runs a lot better know and load times have decreased which were my two biggest turn offs of this game. Honestly i could take bullshit deaths and cheaters or what not if only it didnt take it so long to play a new match. This game is like no other and Dark and Darker doesnt really scratch the same itch.
>>
>>563528768
I seriously have no fucking clue what they were thinking with that. Interchange is such an unfriendly map for timmies.
>>
>someone found my frauded kit from yesterday
Well shit.
>>
>>563539869
I don't care enough to hide my frauded shit so it just ends up in a pile on top of the guy I killed.

If I find a looted pmc the first thing I do is go look around in the corners and shit for gear fraud. You find a surprising amount of stuff that way

>>
>>563558738
Yeah they really do, one reason they haven't yet might be because of how open shoreline is. If someone paid for cover fire the BTR could potentially start sniping people from really fucking far away. The fix would be to add even more elevation changes and tree cover, which the map needs anyway.

Do cheaters not see if I'm a regular scav or an AI scav?

Every single FUCKING time I think to myself

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
>literally like 1 second later I get headshot by one of them without actually seeing any of them anymore
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.
>>
>>563611617
if you can see them they can see you, whether they actually did or not is immaterial

Not sure if it was worth dressing up like a literal fag for 10 kills, but at least I'm done with it now.

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.

>>
>>563613748
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.
>>

Yeah, and every single other fps just feel so fucking stale. Played some BF6 when it released, but as with all the other fps games, it lacked that something that Tarkov has.

I honestly like lighthouse more than customs right now. At least you can sort of scan for enemies in the long range and especially with a thermal. In customs you just die to rats in random corners.

>>563641545
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

Man smoke is such a underrated feature. In every tactical fps smoke is almost mandatory when crossing open area but in tarkov you just sprint hoping nobody see or can aim at you.
>>
>>563683640
I feel like smokes attract more attention than they hinder someones sight unless you have to loot a corpse, and even then they can just lob in a nade and you die.

It'd be better if the smoke wasn't bright fucking green. The russian smoke is grey, but it's shittier.

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

Streamers are largely maladjusted cunts. Very very few of them can take a joke and they're hypocritical as fuck.

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.

Also youre probably wrong about what the hotspots are. Nobody is going to go that way, people are good at dodging snipers you have to expose yourself to get any action

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

Hows tarkov these days? I'm tempted to step back in after all these updates, but I'm not sure
I'd probably want to find some people to play it with again first but if the game's still fun that'd be stellar

Has loading into a game become any faster? I always hated waiting 5+ minutes.
>>
>>563694021
extremely fast now, before factory was 5 minutes now if Im lucky i can get in under 45 seconds... insane difference!

the game has a lot of improvements like a stash search function, gun builds, ability to put surgery shit on your special slot

It's definitely good, but still has some shit aspects like autists camping. That makes it unique and terrifying though I guess
>>
>>563693030
I get most of my PMC kills for any quest on lighthouse by just camping the southern road spawns. They like to scope the map out from the rocks near the fallen helicopter so you can just get them there.

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.

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.

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.

My arbitrary goals while satisfying my pathological need to "achieve" torturous goals in life.

Yea, that's why everyone wears them. Very few think they actually look cool but they're free as fuck and make you almost entirely immune to scav face shots.

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.

this game is designed to be an infinite time sink. its supposed to be fun. if you're not having fun, why bother?

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!

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.

Does anyone know if pillagers block cultists from spawning?
