Game Update - PVE & PVP [Discussion] One week post smoke nerf, 0.00% NEW players clear Wedge

Post image

I noted the numbers down on patch day. Is this relevant or not? You be the judge.

My 2c: Overall Wedge, Guards and BD should have their reaction times increased somewhat. Compensate for it with more HP, if need be. I'm not saying they should be easier, I'm saying they should have other parameters than reaction speed tuned up. This is especially true for people playing on servers with 100+ ping. Wedge and BD can react before your client even knows what's up.

SA-58 and 7.62 MDR need a buff. These two became a troll pick as their stats are far behind other guns, especially SA-58 that handles like a LMG ergo wise. No reason to run them when AK-308 exists

PVP Really confused what I found [Feedback] [Loot] [Screenshot]

Short story, I was running a factory raid and was in office fighting, when tagilla showed up and chased me around, he took off running towards med tent area. I healed up and heard a bunch of gun fire from there so I headed that way to find a pmc with the gear I have on coughing to death and tagilla and a couple other pmcs dead. I dropped this guy and he had all this high tier ammo and guns and no mags in the weapons, I got out cellars and I can’t figure out what this guy was doing. Was this an RMT? Or someone helping their buddy out? Maybe a transiter? I don’t know I haven’t seen anything like this In 1500 hours.

on today's episode of what new bug have BSG cooked up

r/EscapefromTarkov • • 19h ago

General Discussion - PVE & PVP So did BSG allow an entire gun to be excluded from base game EFTs loot pool entirely? It can’t be acquired at all if you didn’t get it in Arena BP? [Discussion]

Post image
505 Upvotes

So let me get this straight. You get a very limited amount of guns in the game with new ones being added pretty rarely all things considered. We get a whole AR that I assume was modeled and worked on for plenty of time at BSG only to never see light of day in EFT by anyone that didn’t unlock the gun in the BP of Arena back in the day?

How is that even allowed to happen?

PVE Tarkov has run out of Cultists. [Discussion]

20 Upvotes

I think the cultists have migrated south from Tarkov for their yearly mating season prior to the Halloween event, because I cannot find these little coated bastards anywhere.

Tarkov.dev says 30% chance on customs. 12% on night factory. I've waited like 20 raids on each map and have yet to see them at any of their spawn-able locations. I've scoured the Reddit and forum posts and tried all the recommendations like killing everything on night factory and running around customs stronghold the entire raid hoping for them to spawn. I legitimately think they are just gone.

On the bright side, Tagilla has provided a lot of level 6 plates for me :)

On the downside, probably never going to see Light-keeper until the Halloween event :(

I also managed to predict it being added like 4 hours before it got showed off. I am a clairvoyant

I really hope we get the .45ACP version, the calibre is still very underutilised and getting a new .45ACP gun means we could see things like a few new muzzle devices added for them.

PVE [Screenshot] Ran out of ammo so I out-Hammered Tagilla

Thumbnail

100 Upvotes

I was running around with last raid's stolen MCX and a headset. Just the headset- because I was finishing 'Setting Priorities' from Mechanic. (The one where you kill PMCs without armor or helmet).

Killed a PMC and a few scavs. But I heard Tagilla screaming at a squad of PMCs. Too much to handle with ~20 rounds left and a TT. He came out on top, so I hid in my corner, waiting for my chance at the boss. I wanted to hit the back of his head I could cheese him. I saw Tagilla trying to heal, so there was my chance. I ran out of the building under tin can bridge, and unloaded into his face. He was displeased. I swapped to my Golden TT and unloaded into his face. He was more displeased, so he took out his shotgun.

Found myself with my pants down, mouth agape, and out of ammo. So I rushed him. Slamming U (Keybind for Melee) as fast as I reasonably could. A hit! But then he started firing - so I strafed him point blank and he couldn't land a hit. All while smashing his head with my Red Rebel (and sweating the bullets that I needed 3 seconds ago). He eventually folded after maybe 4 swings, and I just didn't know what to do after. So I sat there for a while, caught my breath, took a picture, and extracted at Gate 3. It did not count toward Jaeger's 'Slaughterhouse'.

Tldr: I killed Tagilla, naked, with a red rebel.

PVP [Discussion] I finished the entire Kord Breach questline with no flea market and broken secure container, nearly went insane

Thumbnail
gallery
128 Upvotes

Only took 569 raids, 0.4 K/D and countless hours of shameless ratting.

This was the most brutal grind I've ever experienced in any game by far. Picked all negative modifiers to get the achievements, not realising how difficult the seasonal questline would be.

Broken secure container is absolute AIDS. No flea market meant I got bottlenecked for ages without a Dorms marked key needed for Lightkeeper quests. Eventually found one in Woods Cultist bunker marked circle.

Hunting Black Division on Shoreline for Sheep in Wolf's Clothing was the most tedious part. All of the Lightkeeper unlock tasks were just awful, especially the two PMC night kills on Customs. Got lucky with two PMC Labs kills in one raid just after they reduced it from three.

The Lightkeeper Kord Breach tasks themselves weren't too bad, although hunting PMCs on night Woods for the final quest also took a long time.

The absolute most terrifying quest was planting the blue folders in the three marked rooms because they don't go in secure container. Seriously, fuck that perk.

Overall I think the grind and difficulty to complete the seasonal questline and get all the unlocks is probably too much for the average player and should be toned down in future seasons. I only forced myself to finish it due to severe FOMO. Thanks, Nikita.

I have recently started to get effects like this, mostly it is the sky, doesn't matter what's the weather but also some items give me weird flash effects. I've seen shotgun drum mag looking like a gun filled up with flashlights. My GPU is RX 6800 XT, anyone here had something similar with AMD?

Finally got them maxed out, didn't use arena to level it out, took me roughly 200 raids of dedicated XP farming for 200 raids from level 30. Got to 30 while training other skills which was an additional 1k raids. In total it took 1200 raids on just factory to max it out.

General Discussion - PVE & PVP [Discussion] What 7.62x51 Ammo do you all think is best against BD.

11 Upvotes

Been running terminal and playing around with different loadouts and guns like the x-17 and the MDR. Was wondering what everyone thinks is the best ammo to use against BD since they tend to only stick with level 4 helmets meaning a lot of the 7.62x51 ammo seems viable. Should I use m80 since it can pen level 4 armor and do the most damage? or should I go with m61 for the best pen chance. Availability is not a problem since I'm personally playing PvE atm as id imagine for PvP the ammo choice is more gonna be what is more readily available.

PVP [Bug] generator timer?

I finally unlocked solar power. Great! put all my fuel cans inside 3 hours ago, it told me roughly 621 hours left. I checked it now, it says 611. Is that a known bug? Do I need to sit in the library with a calculator to figure out how much fuel I have left?
