yeah the rep bonus is the beat thing, I still have a bunch of quests to do but I’m only gated by level now on all bar jaeger, and gently caress that guy

Downing a jar of mayonnaise and shooting up propanol whilst laying in a bush for 5 minutes hallucinating from dehydration was certainly a change of pace from the usual gameplay loop.
Jaeger is just a chaotic guy that lives in the woods and likes to use his influence to gently caress with the PMCs that have turned his home into a war zone.

I can’t wait for in raid pooping!

If you poop without toilet paper in your inventory you get 20 seconds of tremors every time you switch between standing and crouching.

Also imagine you're taking a piss when you hear "CYKA BLYAT!" from the next bush over. 20% chance of you giving yourself the "bleeding" debuff if you zip up too quickly.

I'd really dig a deathmatch mode. I can't seem to shake my CSGO spray patterns and I don't get enough PVP exposure to drop them.

This would actually be p cool. Maybe some kind of team based assault/defend too.

Appears that the scav case no longer works and that items inside containers no longer count towards hideout recipes since the recent patch.

Anybody else?

New strategy (to me) for levelling strength
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K9O1B4M4pUA
Fill up on throwables
Throw them all
Die
Repeat

16 grenades gets you about 2.3 points towards strength.

Player encounter survivals: 0.

Now my only weapon is a knife and I'm out of money. I have been doing scav runs when they're off CD but it doesn't help when I always die to players.

Game is hard for me. Hopefully I'll learn!

Pro-tip: if you get shot at and you don't die just run the gently caress away. Get behind some cover and GTFO.

Anyone have tips on the Jaeger "Kill 10 scavs at >50m range with an iron sight mosin" quest? I can't find a good spot for it, and I either need to get better aim or better eyes because I have had very little luck hitting scavs with it at that range.

Pick off some scavs on Scav Island from a hill on Shoreline.

I'm pretty excited for the audio changes in the next patch. So many times I've been sat in a bush listening to somebody get closer to me with no effing idea which direction they are coming from.

Edit: I am getting back into the game, quick question. Can you buy an adar or is it only for trade? I really enjoy using it, normally my vepr is my go to low level gun but I think the adar might have just taken that spot.

You can get an adar for a rechargable battery at skier level 1 and for about 35k rubles at skier level 2.

The new binaural audio is great. You can actually tell which direction things are in. Seems like it makes everything quieter overall so just turn your speakers/headphones up a bit.

Is it something you have to enable? I'm currently having issues hearing people even when they're right on top of me, is it easier to hear people with steam sound?

Yeah it's a checkbox under sound then you have to restart the game after enabling.

I'd say it's harder to hear generally because the sound overall is quieter but it's miles better for actually telling which direction and how far away things are.

I just got shot in the face and survived. Literally my head had 0 points. I guess my PMC can survive with a scrambled brain.

Is that a bug or am I just lucky?

I also spent about 10 minutes running away from myself cos I left my laser on my pistol on and thought somebody was trying to finish the job when I saw it...

Played a raid for the first time since last wipe. Died to a guy with a silenced AK sitting in a bush so everything in my gamma is worthless now.

I think I’m done with this game. There is no way I can do what it asks of me anymore. I’m too old, too slow, and the two or three hours I get to myself on weeknights would be a waste of time since you can only make any reasonable headway on successful extracts now.

I feel like I'm heading towards this mentality. They need to add an offline mode that works the same way. I'd love to play this game without other players.

I think that’s probably the best approach at this point. I’m going to start just playing instead of trying to min max and progress consistently.

Since I’ve unlocked the flea the game has gotten less and less fun. I can either keep doing cheap runs where I avoid everything and try to attack from afar, or try to bring in anything that costs over 30k to immediately lose it.

Somehow Tarkov can simultaneously ruin the desire to play any other game and make me so unbelievably pissed off I don’t even want to play it.

:agreed:

Maybe I was just spitting my dummy out because I died 3 times in a row yesterday. Tarkov is the abusive relationship of video games.

What was the mosin advice a few pages ago? Was it to take off the rear sight or something?

I think it was to take the front sight off and put your target in the indentation of the rear sight to reliably make shots of about 150-200m.

That's just from memory though, haven't done it myself.
