Untill today I had only managed to extract once as PMC and only survived on customs scav runs. My experience was that there was a single moment. For a week I had been playing with friends but I never really understood why they thought this game was so fun, it seemed like a boring slog. And then, one raid, me and my buddy got into a huge firefight in dorms. He flanked while I held a corner and we dispatched two super geared boys and... that was it. The whole loving thing clicked. You're gonna die and be disappointed often but man the highs are so sweet. There's a real satisfaction to learning more about the game, getting better at it and then implementing that knowledge to kill dudes and take their poo poo. Anyway, welcome to tarkov brother.

Guess not. Had a situation where my friend looted a btc from a rashala guard and didn't stick it in his rear end for some reason, then I took his backpack and ran before getting one tapped through brush

the first time you realise that the escalators on interchange have big gaps in the guardrails next to them, by falling 2 stories when you strafe into the gap because you are looking for your death across the way... its kinda funny... if you survive with two destroyed legs that you manage to hide long enough to heal

Pro tip for broke newbies: there are like 20 hidden stashes outside of the mall on interchange. Everybody is usually too busy fighting over loot in the mall, so they're worth learning. Just hit one side of stashes or whatever you're comfortable with, maybe get a scav kill or two and dip out. I forget what the FIR reqs are but don't forget to meet them. I don't think I've ever had an issue cause I'm so fat on loot. I usually do a bunch of these runs at the end of a night when my group goes to bed cause I'm poor after dying all day.

This 100%. Been a real source of stable low(er) stress cashflow/quest items. Also can be really lucrative on scav runs too if they have been ignored. Finally got my last drat croutons last night on a run.

They reduced the run-through requirements recently, it's something like 200xp or 7 minutes in raid now to avoid the penalty. It's good, but it's also kinda weird, because you get 300 just for extracting, but I don't think that counts? Cuz if it did it'd be impossible to get a run-through.

I was given a run through recently for killing a pmc, and extracting out the flashing red lights factory exit. I think you need just over 200, because a pmc's awards you 200 flat. Or buggy game. IDK. I was mad because it ended a 5 survive streak.

I think about that way too much too. And then I play insurgency the storm, and it sounds like you're walking through springy grass even on the inside on concrete. And then I play R6 where everything sounds right and has good echo locations. In short life is about contrasts.

Following up on prior conversation about the game clicking, I've been playing on and off for a few wipes but never really broke level 20. I just had a streak of seven successful raids, including multiple quest completions, two merked alpha Chad's whose poo poo's all mine now, and a poo poo ton of dead scavs. Nothing like those highs man, nothing like those highs. Finally got ganked by a two man in the north east village of woods, my fault, spent way too long skirmishing with four scavs in there and got jumped on... E: oh, also multiple successful factory runs on my scav, didn't extract every single one but had quite a few really fun fire fights with both AI scavs and player scavs. DrHammond fucked around with this message at 19:13 on Feb 12, 2021 |

It’s funny how walking over the roots of a tree makes the same sound as walking on wooden floorboards. I guess they are both technically “wood” but

My go-to loot runs lately have been throwing on an Alpha rig, looting OLI and taking the backpackless extract on interchange. 12 minutes max, sometimes over 400k+ profit. The main thing is Water Filters - they sell for over 100k a pop right now and there’s tons of places they can spawn inside OLI. Motors, Tubes, Propane and all those tool-related things will get you plenty of cash too.

My weird sound issue other than the ADAR clock is that some guns have great echoes from their shots and some (this is especially noticeable on full auto guns) don’t. So you hear an m700 with a really nice echo from the loud crack, and then an AK full auto burst that just stops dead because the sound file is JUST the gunshot.

Guess it's because they use a dynamic sound engine and they haven't come around to scripting the AK sounds and forgot to cut out up the ADAR sound clip. For a beta of this scope it's really loving solid engine wise. It runs great on my old(ish) setup while also looking and sounding better than most games.

its unity so BSG must be gods? (unity memes) I love how russian or ukraine devs seem to do man made structures in games. Going back to stalker they put so much detail into everything but its funny how all their human models have this weird lovely stiffness. Metro was the same and now EFT is kinda the same. and even though human models are a lot better in EFT they still remind me of stalker and metro - but all the buildings and debris and loot and guns and textures and even sound are amazingly detailed Qmass fucked around with this message at 14:29 on Feb 13, 2021 |

I also jumped into this just recently with a couple friends, it's really fun (if slightly overwhelming) so far. One big questions that popped up for us so far: If you're playing Scav, is there a quick way to distinguish (NPC) scavs from PMCs? Or is there even a point, for that matter? So far we've been trying to avoid starting beef with NPC scavs, but it seems more and more like the safer thing to do is to just kill on sight if you've got a good shot.

I hate to say it because it's such a non-answer but it all comes with experience. They've done a lot to make scavs more random and humanlike but they all move and run in certain ways. The best way to tell is to watch for a little while, scavs will usually do something like sprint off in a random direction and then stand still in the open looking around. The only way to know 100% is to throw a grenade and see if they voice line, really

Their outfits are usually the biggest giveaways, especially their guns. Scavs usually won't have nice helmets, and they generally look more "patchwork" than a PMC will, although being able to quickly ID this is obviously something that is hard to teach without just running into them a lot. If you mean between AI scavs and player scavs, then it's a lot harder.

There's so much scav on scav violence in this game this wipe that you're better off just killing or hiding from everything you see. Otherwise NPC scavs will run around, stand in the open, and randomly voice line.

My scav case brought me a green keycard and, having never really learned labs at all, I’m tempted now to try to do so. Should I just go in fully geared and assume I’m going to repeatedly die? Obviously I’ll go in on offline mode to try to learn the map, but I’m more unsure as to how to actually approach it for real.

One of my favorite ways to solo scav is to roleplay as an npc for the first few minutes of a raid, down to randomly voice-lining, mmb looking at player scavs as I run by them while waving-- and then turning to shoot them in the back of the head as soon as they write me off I'm a bad human bean

Over 4 mil, I'll invest in GPUs for now. Is the scav case a guaranteed net income source, let's say over a week of gambling? Or is it more something that will most often be a money sink until you maybe land a jackpot once or twice per wipe?

You'll usually turn a profit on the 7k runs, but the profit is proportional in that your profit is a few thousand roubles. I think it's most useful if you're willing and able to throw moonshine/intel at it and just eat the losses in hopes of getting the FIR quest crap you need/hitting on a labs keycard every now and then.

Can someone explain what the deal is vendor fuel supplies? Specifically Jaeger. Up until two or three days ago I never had issues buying a can of fuel from him, now he's constantly sold out. I'm assuming that they implemented a finite amount of of fuel shared across all players because bitcoins hit some arbitrary price.

sinburger posted:Can someone explain what the deal is vendor fuel supplies? Specifically Jaeger. Fuel is at a premium. They nerfed fuel spawns across the whole game. Go check out what a metal fuel can costs on the flea, it's like 5-6 times what it is from Jaeger. With how expensive bitcoins are right now (over 650k as of this morning), there is a ridiculously high demand for fuel and a very low supply. Basically, you're not going to get fuel from Jaeger unless you're sitting there when his stock turns over. He'll sell out in less than a minute.
