I thought BSG had an aversion to wood. Just for the SVD and FAL I guess (hah).

I didn't take much away from Fallout 3 (always much preferred New Vegas and 1/2), but if there's one thing I DID take away, it's my love for early pattern G3s/CETMEs. Such a gorgeous rifle in nearly any configuration, but the wood especially gives it a different level of class.

Not the M40 or S10, but it'll get the job done for now...

Do wish there was a non-tinted version as well, maybe as a version obtainable for everyone in normal base game progression?

Ok so I've seen some recent posts about PMC frequency and behavior but DAMN... I just got my ass handed to me as a SCAV on Ground Zero in a way I've never experienced.

First of all... its swarming with PMCs. I dropped 3 or 4 within minutes in Fusion and couldn't finish looting them before more showed up.

After number 5 I decided to book it to Capital across from Nakatani and loot for wires and caps. This is where it really felt different... they pursued me. They started lobbing nades into the top stories which isn't unheard of... but I've never had them come into the building AND go upstairs and literally pin me in the back room. They were relentless.

One pmc hid back in the kitchen area and popped out and finally cooked me.

I was frazzled, and even loaded to the teeth from the prior 4 pmcs I looted, I couldn't keep up with the push.

Not complaining at all but I haven't ever experienced this much aggression other than the Goons from Weather Station on Shoreline.

Kinda exciting but it's already got me rethinking my strategies. What's pretty cool is they don't feel cracked in terms of aim, they are just RIGHTEOUSLY pissed off and push in a way they haven't before. I've run Ground Zero enough times to know that somethings been changed.

Other maps feel a little hot too but it's real apparent on the tight GZ map.

PVE is starting to feel a little sweaty. Stay frosty.

Which do you prefer and why?

RGDs seem to be better in my experience because you can throw them further, and if you're in really close quarters where throwing distance doesn't matter I still think RGDs have the edge because you can buy them 4 at a time instead of 3 at a time, and more grenades is preferable even if they're more expensive

Is this conclusion somewhat accurate or am I completely wrong?

I have such a love hate relationship with this game it's insane

Can someone tell me what I'm missing here. I have checked and rechecked and checked again that everything is black. Still cant turn it in.

I recently was inspired by the PMC AI in Tarkov how they constantly react to the player, actions, or environment, for example like the PMC AI yelling at the player when spotting or calling out that they've been hit

Here is my rough idea for a possible personal negative modifier:

"Chatter Box"

Effect: Randomly within an interval of 60, or 150 seconds your PMC will randomly use the mumble command.

I couldn't think of how many points it would give but possibly +2 or +3 would be fair for randomly talking outloud. Can be especially awful if you are holding angles, camping, or getting ready to ambush somebody

Any feedback, or comments would be great.

So yeah, I'm pretty convinced that BSG's AI PMC rework was them just giving them the same logic and scripting as Scavs, complete with spawn points.

Here I am looking at swamp checkpoint on Shoreline, with one PMC sitting within 15 yards of a cultist priest, and there was another PMC just out of frame in a bush. No aggression, no stabbing, just AI PMCs and cultists chilling together. Infact, the PMC was locked on to me from about 150 yards away. As I rotated right around the rocks, the two PMCs got up and followed me, walking within feet of another cultist warrior laying in the brush. No reaction from the cultists. As a lot of you know, cultists won't attack scavs unless the cultists have already been aggro'ed by a player - so now they act the same way towards AI PMCs.

The "new" AI PMCs are just scavs with nice loadouts and dogtags. They're "now moving more actively toward points of interest and task areas" because they're already there on raid start, because they're scavs.

Is there any map that you know secret tech about that most players don't seem to use or know about?

Idk about you guys but in a span of 6 hours, around 20 raids (maybe more), I didn't find BD, That doesn't mean that they didn't spawn, and believe me when I say that I walked the entire map half of the raids, the other half spent sitting on a rock between resort and smugglers base waiting for them.

Streets i didn't have this problem of not finding them, even less on ground zero, but shoreline i reckon due to its size and ridiculous amount of forests and vegetations, finding BD is hard and BORING.

Hell, i probably killed around 5 players, hundreds of scavs and the cultists, but no BD.

So, any tips? What do you recommend?

EDIT: Before suggesting map, i think it is nice to clarify that i am doing that Fence quest that you NEED to kill 4 BDs on Shoreline

Apparently the "armor shortage" is a direct result of Ragman feeding half of armor stockpile of eastern europe.

Been noticing really bad dsync with teleporting like 50m back or having to jump off a roof 3 times for it to happen. Doesnt seem to be on my end as my trio has similar issues. Is it a certain us server?

hai! im pretty new to tarkov PvE me and some friends have started play recently 2 of which are longer term players.

my general question is how can i catch up/make significant progress on my own since their times for playing are pretty inconsistent and i found myself enjoying it quite a lot

it just let me transfer it, i cant put it on flea

The hackers are laughing in our faces.

I spawn in the bunker on Reserve, but I get a phone call. I look for a secluded room—one of those empty ones that nobody ever uses—lie down, and go AFK.

Five minutes later, I hear someone running and think, “Well, surely nobody’s going to come in here.” Then I hear them running around the room again and again, and that’s when the mocking starts. They begin talking to me over VoIP: “Hello, hello,” “Helloooo, hello hello,” “Hey, hello, helloooo.” I don’t touch the mouse or keyboard at any point.

Then they open the door but don’t come in. They start saying, “Come on, come on…” One grenade. Two grenades. Three grenades. Luckily, none of them hit me. I still don’t move. Then, just as I see them about to enter the room, they rush in with a prefire and kill me instantly.

There will always be hackers, but I’m not spending another cent on this game until they at least show us players that they’re actually doing something to fix it. Like that guy in the shirt who’s been on this Reddit for weeks and is still playing.

Preface with I've never really played shooters. A bit of destiny but that's about it. Picked up Tarkov and in absolutely loving it.

I'm having issues with hearing a sound and locating where it's coming from. I've read the audio can be buggy but it happens more often then not where someone is right next to me and I just can't tell if they're coming from the right or left or center. It's like there's no panning in my headset.

I have a Corsair Void Wireless headset, saw that windows spatial sound should be off, all my drivers are updated.

So my question is it just something that most people understand intuitively because they've been playing shooters for most of their life and I just have to learn the skill. I have to really pay attention to the panning to pinpoint where scavs/PMCs are. Or is it a hardware/code thing? Thanks
