Picked one map to start with and get real comfy with - customs (maybe a mistake?)

Not a mistake at all, you'll be spending a TON of time on Customs with early and mid game quests, and overall it's a great map since they expanded it with solid loot and interesting battlegrounds to kill mans and get killed by mans.

Does it just take forever to join games now or what?

Each raid fully waits for every player before starting in order to eliminate late spawns. It’s a bit annoying but late spawns were worse so I’m ok with it.

SKS is a great early game weapon, but it's definitely not "only use this gun, full stop".

Honestly outside of the cosplay quests that force you to use certain guns, the best advice regarding weapons I could give is: Use a gun that you like and are familiar with, and can afford decent ammo for it. If there's a gun that you like running, that you can hit shots with better, etc it's going to trump trying to force yourself to use some "best in slot" gun that you're unfamiliar with.

Dorms is south which makes Big Red the eastern side of the map, not the west.

Yes all the commonly used maps are wrong all these years and it’s been an annoying transition.

Maybe people don't realize it can't be used for the Jäger quest because they must be FIR. And if you buy stuff from flea it is not FIR. I'd simply assume people are dumb.

Nah jaeger is the Emylia croutons, the tushonka craft uses regular rye croutons which are either sold out on flea at all times or 100k+

Can you all help me rule out cheating for my friend's death here?

https://clips.twitch.tv/KitschyDarkPeanutGOWSkull

In case it's not clear, he was right in front of the big green weapons crate in the central enclosed room on the first floor of the Stronghold in Customs. We heard no gunshot, and the impact was straight to head. In a later scav run, we checked out the nearby "new" warehouses that have little poke holes overlooking Stronghold and none of them could see right in to where my friend died.

My other friend (the one whose POV is used in that video) later ran out and got shot in the arm from another mysterious location but was otherwise able to get out ok.

My first thought as to how he died was some weird angle you can see in there from, but I ran all over the area and couldn't figure one out. My only other thoughts are that it was a cheater shooting from under the map or in an otherwise bugged way or a totally insane ricochet. If it was a cheater, I don't understand why he didn't kill my other friend.

For reference, it was M855 to head, by a PMC. Didn't get the PMC's name.

There is a very narrow angle on middle loot room from the train platform between Fort and New Construction, and that's really the only place your shooter could have been.

If headphones don't make a difference how are people hearing me from such insane distances, do they just jack their sound up to dangerous levels? If so is there someway to not be deafened by gunshots then?

In-game headsets make a huge difference in hearing footsteps and sound. So does the Perception skill. Elite Perception allows someone to hear at a much greater distance.

So how prevalent are hackers in this game? I'm still relatively new, but had a pretty sketchy moment that felt like someone literally teleported behind me.

I was in the village on the east side of the woods, and I heard a guy stomping around outside and then get into a shootout with a scav, so I quietly snuck upstairs, which I had already cleared and confirmed was empty, and waited to see if he would come in after me or leave. After a few seconds I heard a THUMP right behind me like someone jumped or fell off a ledge and then got shot and died instantly.

Now, later on another run out of curiosity I went back to see if maybe it was possible to climb onto the roof, or onto an awning, or if there was a good vantage point to pop me from outside, and nope. I didn't see any possible way someone could've gotten in behind me. There was also no way this dude somehow got into the building and went upstairs without me noticing. It also wasn't a grenade.

I was kinda pissed off because I was rocking the best gear I had and it felt super sketchy, so is this something that happens from time to time or am I just salty that some dude outplayed me?

Were you killed by a scav or PMC?

Eh, I'm currently sitting at about 15% and I'm still having fun. I just bought in this wipe and I haven't been playing consistently, so I'm still learning maps and stuff. There's a long way to go, but I knew I'd be dying a ton going in, especially since I'm not great at shooters to begin with. Still, winning a fight and extracting is such a goddamn rush. Hell, sitting in a bush with an SKS while two groups of geared monsters duke it out right next to me while praying noone chucks a nade my way is a rush.

The biggest rush is doming the geared monster that wins the fight while he’s looting his kill!

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.

Also the money you save on the gun will easily be soaked up by ammo. 7n31 is ridiculously expensive for how quickly it pisses out of a vector and the fact you have to spray everyone down.

Generally yes, but sometimes they are chill with you as long as you don't get too close or they've been activated by PMCs. Not sure if it's intended mechanics (lol Nikita) but a lot of people report Killa will murderfuck any player that enters his vicinity once he's been activated by a PMC attempting to kill him.

I remember reading somewhere earlier this wipe someone was scavving in Goshan and Killa sprinted all the way from Brutal to kill him.
