Either the wiki is really out of date or that's not how that loot table works. I have searched at least a hundred cabinets and don't remember a lab's keycard showing up once.

I THINK (because honestly who the gently caress knows) its % roll per slot, and it can be overridden by big items like drills and stuff. This decreases the chance for keycards considerably (as it would be 12% chance for 1 slot item, which, depending on the sequence, could be first or last), which is why they dont appear there very often.

I definitely found at least 1 or 2 in filing cabinets.

Filing cabinets are fun and I always check the one behind the ORB-1 key in Reserve. Good chance for crickets, zibbos and matches which are always worthwhile.

If I recall, the way it works is that the game rolls for what will spawn in a given slot- common, rare, super rare, or nothing, with different weights for all of those. Then it rolls on the table listed on the wiki, with the table displayed as listed there. That means you don't have a 12% chance for any given slot to spawn a labs card in a filing cabinet, you have a 12% chance for something that has already rolled a super rare slot to spawn a labs keycard. Most of the slots will spawn things from the common table or nothing.

This is still my favorite way to play the game, despite having stacks of money for gear. It feels so good to go in with nothing, take out players and come out, frankly just alive. With gear is even better. I don't care if there are more efficient ways of making money, this is still the best way to play for me.

Also, just started getting back into the game a bit and looked at ice pick prices: holy poo poo. I wish i'd done what I thought about during the Christmas advertising drop period and bought up a bunch of them at 1-1.5mil, because right now i'd have unlimited money. They are like 5.5mil! Curious what other things went up, but i'll figure that out over time.

new detterent for hatchlings maybe?

I thought you had to hit the button for bunker to get them to spawn? In my experience they spawn near the helicopter a lot then walk towards the train station.

Yeah he's the douche you play against and when combat begins your screen hitches and then you are suddenly dead. Total piece of poo poo move.

He's basically china in a nutshell if it took on a sentient lifeform.

I like to sit in the green truck on reserve at the entrance of the bunkers. Have been pretty successful in killing the raiders, and getting out. You can also hop out of the truck and leg the raiders from the bottom of it.

Especially good if you have the pipeline extract.

Scav runs are so much fun. The total lack of fear is really empowering to do some dumb poo poo. Superhero landing while spraying KEDR and hammering F1. Mosin crew hunting sweaty boys. It's so cool :jeb:

I did a low-gear (but not hatchet) run on Reserve this afternoon and I was making my way up to the truck depot area (with the secured armory in it) and some super geared guy started pelting at me from the rooftop. I ran under an awning and chucked a lovely Prapor grenade up and arced it loving perfectly.

Died about a moment later to some other random guy. Then the gearlord messages me to tell me that he was super kitted out and the grenade one hit killed him and he couldn’t figure out how I made the throw.

In summary I’m bad at this game but having an awful lot of fun.

Speaking of being bad at the game, I hosed around in offline last night and found out that I wasn’t hitting poo poo with reflex/iron sights because my FOV was turned up. So I turned it back down to default and it feels like I still can’t hit poo poo. Aiming center mass on scavs that are like 20m away with a Mosin full of LPS gzh and they don’t even flinch - it’s like the bullets aren’t even close. Is there some obvious cue I’m missing cause it feels weird as hell to aim directly at a scav walking by and fire and just nothing happens at all.

We had not left it yet, but when I would wake in the night, I would lie, listening, homesick for it already.

Did a scav run as my first go on reserves to try and learn a new map (have mostly been playing customs).

Spawned with a 12g and birdshot and saw a suppressor poking out of a tower so went to say hello. Crept up the tower and then domed a guy fully kitted out including a thermal equipped sniper rifle. Absolutely glorious moment but then realised I have no loving idea how to extract despite have a map on the second screen.

Ended up getting 2 more kills and a gently caress ton of gear before being brutally owned in the k buildings. I was hella rich for a little bit.

LPS is loving weird. I swear it's bugged and the rounds just vanish half the time.

I tried a hatch run on factory to test something else out and as soon as I spawned in I heard a scav run full sprint right to where I was and start shooting. Doesn't happen every spawn though, maybe they added some random element to it?

Also, game seems to be running ok but the flea market is hosed

I notice this a lot in the hideout. I think it might be due to the lowest possible zeroing setting being 50. Anything close enough will be going above your sights since they're set to show where your bullet will be further out.

I could be wrong about the zeroing, but I can't seem to set it any lower in any case.

I wasn’t even going for headshots; aiming at center mass down to like stomach did nothing with Mosin iron sights, SKS reflex, and SKS iron sights. I’m reading now that people have had issues with bit registration before; not sure if it’s that or something else.

Edit: also 50m is like 170 feet or something, I assume there should be next to no drop over that kind of distance with a bullet traveling whatever many fps

You're not thinking about how bullets travel properly. Bullets start below your line of sight, obviously. A good bit below your line of sight in some cases. The barrel is angled upward relative to your line of sight, so that the bullet will rise to the level of your sight at some distance, potentially go above your line of sight, and then eventually fall back below it.

I mean I totally get that, especially for something like aimingat heads up close with a scope that’s zeroed for 150m, but aiming for the sternum at 15-20m with iron sights or a reflex zeroed to 50 and not hitting poo poo multiple times seems real janky.
