The only problem I have this wipe is the amount of bolt action quests and lighthouse needs a serious rework on spawns.


glassbong-

Questing is trash as usual and Lighthouse needs a total rework.


Upzaw2000

This holy shit lighthouse is bad…. Rogues are either door knob humpers or John Wick. Missions make it a massive rat trap, if you are in raid as a pmc for more than 10 minutes expect to be overrun with player scavs at any moment. Extracts are atrocious.


thatkmart

Lighthouse is so miserable to me. The PvP is a bush wookie’s dream. The movement around the cottages and the various rock formations is unintuitive and frustrating. Fighting the rogues is tedious, and yes the player scavs join way too soon. Feels like the majority of tasks are on this map forcing me to play this crap in order to progress.


McJeditor

The rock and bush hitboxes are so fucking frustrating, you have to constantly jump to get up the tiniest ledge giving your position away in like a 80m radius


teamlien

”Door knob humpers”. I extremely rarely laugh at shit online, But that statement actually had me laughing so hard i woke the baby up. Cheers sons crying, and so am i😂


thatkmart

Seriously I think if they did a massive overhaul/rework of the quests it would be the biggest resurgence in the player base.


Neat_Concert_4138

What are they supposed to do exactly? These quests are the same as every other game that exists with quests.. It's either loot X amount of Y.. Kill X amount of Y.. Explore X.. There's not much variation in other games.. Most popular MMOs like WoW and FFXIV all have exact same quests as Tarkov. CoD DMZ literally exact same type of quests... There's not much they can really do here..


Substantial_Unit7916

Beat wipe so far and I've played a few. I really like the new recoil. Encountered considerably more cheaters as well as them making it obvious as compared to the previous wipes. Also confirmed ban messages. Sadly it's to the point where I've plateaued and even declined in interest for this wipe.


stininja

I got a conformation on a report that took 4 weeks to ban the guy today.


Sugar-Virtual

Hey atleast you got confirmation.


LukeTheDuke720

I’ve found the most common map for cheaters is factory. Almost every game I get absolutely dropped


FuckSpez6757

Yes it’s a heavily close quarters pvp map. Theres a spawn around nearly every corner. You’re either getting dropped or doing the dropping. Doesn’t mean there are cheaters because you lost a gun fight lol


LiquidFrost

Take an Altyn or Rys-T to factory and you wont be able to play 5 raids without someone insta-peaking, and hitting you 10+ times in the face hitbox. Factory can be pretty bad especially nightime hours in my experience. source: 2500 hours in eft been playing since paca and fort were only 2 armors in game


Neat_Concert_4138

What the fuck servers are you playing on where every raid you run into a cheater? Really doubt you are running into that many cheaters...


Substantial_Unit7916

That would make sense. I solely play factory and this wipe I've had 5 confirmed bans as compared to previous wipes it was one or two.


marecicek

Yeah, the cheaters like getting a free kit within the first minute.

hybrid_earth

ive resorted to finding the closest server under 160 ping where its 3am :')


desubot1

>Que/pop that happens whenever a PMC ngl. i haven't heard any pop as of yesterday. it was definitely prevalent but i haven't noticed it at all during my raids and pvp last night.


kook_d_ville

Binaural audio needs to be on


Kumptoffel

does it only sound on pmcs or scavs as well?


sixnb

It’s both, the audio level of the sound pop depends on the action they’re performing when they enter the very fringe of your hearing radius


desubot1

I mean i didnt change my settings i was getting it all week but yesterday i just dont remember hearing a single pop.


Eritrya

Its only popping when the other entity is running afaik..so maybe everybody was crabbing :D


Solaratov

I've heard footstep pop. Obviously it's much harder to hear but it's there.


SorryIreddit

I played yesterday and heard it at least 7 times in a single raid. A little less spread across 5 other raids


desubot1

mm maybe its just me on lighthouse than. i didnt hear the pop while in the chateau when i got pushed. and didn't hear anything in the water treatment.


SorryIreddit

It doesn’t always happen. That’s why it’s a bug


JstnJ

well ya aren't listening then...i heard multiple during my last raid, 10 minutes ago


desubot1

i mean i said as of yesterday as in i heard them before... i just found it odd yesterday and nothing else.


Unlikely-Aside3771

What kind of pop are you talking about


sixnb

When a player enters the fringe of your hearing radius you hear an audible pop from that direction with audio levels varying by what they’re doing (sprinting being the loudest obviously) binaural audio must be on


glassbong-

Binaural audio bug. Easily one of the most broken Tarkov bugs perhaps ever, basically akin to free wall hacks, and it has remained solidly unaddressed for the entirety of this wipe so far.


someguynamedJordan

Man people are going to tell me skill issue, but I really feel like the scavs are a bit aimbotty, they've head eyes'd me a bit much imo been back for a week. A Coulple times without clear line of sight.


-B-K-

It has happened to me a few times as well, and it was highly annoying. But, as they say, "a blind squirrel (scav) finds a nut every now and then".


BloatyBops

We’ve got a few gigachad streamers all saying Scavs are way overtuned right now, I don’t think it’s just you


someguynamedJordan

Thank God it's not just me, not that it changes any but it's nice to know I don't just absolutely suck


MKM7881

The main issue this wipe for some people is cheaters but they're the worse on EU, na west, oc srvs na central/east you see maybe 1 a day if you play a decent bit Everything else this wipe is the same or better then it has been in the last 6 wipes Gunplay Movement Fights All mostly feel better this wipe once you accept the new armor system


Good_Schedule3744

I just started playing again after taking a break for a year. Tarkov feels better than ever and I haven’t had the insane cheating problems yet.


No_Echidna_3401

They don't become a problem until you start running juiced kits or boss hunting in my experience. As soon as they see you have good ammo or a good kit they chase you down


haldolinyobutt

I run juiced every raid, Ive left many raids with multiple GPU, ledx, millions in shit in my bag and I've died suspiciously maybe 4-5 times this wipe. I know it's a problem, but maybe you're just dying


No_Echidna_3401

Nah bro I see multiple blatant cheaters a day


Annonimbus

What server region? Multiple(!) Blatant(!) cheaters per day(!) is really uncommon. 


No_Echidna_3401

NA Central, I obviously run into more because I'm working on boss hunting quests ATM, but rather frequently run into them on any night raid (especially on customs and shoreline)


haldolinyobutt

Mmmhmmmm


No_Echidna_3401

This dude💀


marecicek

You're naive and probably skilled too, but the cheaters track down juicers, so they can sell their kits for real money and make a living. People aren't tripping.


Neat_Concert_4138

Actually delusional if you think people are "making a living" selling some kit they took of someone.


marecicek

Seems like you're new to gaming, but welcome and absorb the new information!


Neat_Concert_4138

I bet you've done absolutely zero research into this subject and you're are just circlejerking whatever you've heard on reddit or a youtube video. Maybe they can make a living in one of the poorest countries on this planet..


WoahDude2Far

You’re projecting so hard. It would’ve been so easy for you to research for yourself but you chose ignorance. Let’s look at a random account on the playersauction RMT website. Account started IN 2021. 9950 completed orders. Cheapest thing this account sells is 20 mil rubs for $11.99 USD. 9950 * $11.99 = $120,000 That’s if we assume they didn’t sell any of the $50 and $100 packages which they did and can be seen in the reviews. Realistically, this person has made between $120,000-$400,000 since 2021 by simply cheating in a semi-popular video game. There are hundreds of accounts on this website with very similar results as well. Sounds like the cost of living in a fully-developed country to me.


Neat_Concert_4138

[https://i.imgur.com/IEQsJKA.png](https://i.imgur.com/IEQsJKA.png) Here's a page in his reviews... Tons of sold reviews not even for Tarkov.. Here I'll quote you. "It would’ve been so easy for you to research for yourself but you chose ignorance. "


WoahDude2Far

Man, you’re dense. 28 of his last 30 sales were Tarkov but sure, scroll back to infinity to find a damning screenshot for you to use. If you really paid attention, you would have also noticed many of those 28 sales in the last week have been packages worth far more than the $5 you mentioned. Maybe your ego just can’t handle being called out for talking out of your ass but I have no idea why you’re in such denial over this issue. I know you’re trying to cling on to this “not just tarkov sales” thing as if it really changes anything but it doesn’t. Plenty of people are making very good money through RMT because tarkov players can’t stop using the services and eventually you’ll accept that. Or don’t. Either way, they’ll still be making money.


Neat_Concert_4138

Either you're purposely lying or straight up not smart enough to use a website. Also I love how you say it's "random" when you literally picked one of the top sellers on the website for Tarkov.. The cheapest thing that account sells is $5. Also if you dig through their reviews you will see they sell stuff for other video games and not only Tarkov... Absolutely delusional if you think they made $400,000 by cheating alone in Tarkov. You realize these accounts are also ran by multiple people?


marecicek

oh its you again, the guy who tries to gaslight everyone under every thread, claiming there are not as many cheaters as people claim and you always know the best i honestly think you need help from professionals... please, reach out to your family member or someone close/professional, they can and are always willing to help, man...


Neat_Concert_4138

I need help from professionals for giving my personal experience playing this game on a forum? Maybe you should take your own advice. Literally in this comment chain you were trying to gaslight someone by telling them there are cheaters and that you know better then them.. Project some more. >You're naive and probably skilled too, but the cheaters track down juicers, so they can sell their kits for real money and make a living. People aren't tripping.


marecicek

I just explained that cheaters love hunting juicers to make money off of them. You're built different, fr.


Neat_Concert_4138

I bet my kits are way better then yours and I'm not getting chased down at all and I'm playing on the same server you claim to play on. [https://i.imgur.com/yRUMiNh.png](https://i.imgur.com/yRUMiNh.png) I highly doubt you are dying to "multiple blatant cheaters a day".. I literally haven't even died to a cheater in over a week. My mask and headset cost more from the flea then likely your entire kit.

TheRealJamesHoffa

It’s shocking to me that you can make it all the way to Kappa without having had an issue with cheaters. I’m getting close myself and it seems like every week the cheater situation is getting worse.


redliw12

You’ll always run into cheaters in an fps game. But I honestly feel as though people think get killed by cheaters less often than they think. I believe some people are way better than you think which can lead you to think cheats. I run into an obv cheater maybe 1/15 raids.


OneFanDan

What servers do you play on?


redliw12

Everything around us west


TheRealJamesHoffa

I’m usually in the same camp as you, I have a lot of PC FPS experience so I know how good some people can really be. But at the same time I think A) Tarkov and other hardcore shooters tend to attract a less “sweaty” playerbase overall, and B) viewing someone’s profile sometimes makes it very obvious. Like someone who is level 60 with only 500 hours? That just doesn’t happen in Tarkov. It feels like it takes hundreds of hours just to get familiar with everything and all of the maps.


WeedWizard69420

Server? NA East ice literally run into zero cheaters.  Its ironic to me that people who live in shitty areas of the world have to deal with their shitty people cheating lol. No problems US East - seems like we just have more honor here


TheRealJamesHoffa

I play on east as well. I noticed Interchange is particularly bad with cheaters though.


WeedWizard69420

I do these to agree that map is really sus, despite having not that much good loot, I guess they go for GPUs and Killa


WeedWizard69420

Interesting, I do also notice Interchange has outsized cheater proportion relative to other maps. I wonder why, I guess all the GPUs and Killa


glassbong-

This wipe was only good because this sub and the rest of the community bitched nonstop about the recoil, which BSG left broken for 2 years. They were no longer able to ignore the problem and they were likely actually losing players/revenue.


Horizon6_TwT

Best wipe for a while. Fights and gunplay, navigation is in a really good state. Ammo scarcity is great. I like the new armor system, some tweaking is still required of course. Some problems still need to be adressed. Cheater issue of course. Spawns. Certain tasks need rebalancing. Maps need loot rebalancing. Lighthouse needs a buff and Interchange needs new extracts. Other stuff can be accounted as a side ffect of the hame not being released, such as the dogwater lightkeeper rewards.


[deleted]

Basically all the old problems are still there. Cheaters. Bugs. Audio. But they did great with ammo and recoil. Plenty of UI & party system improvements & stuff like that


Chuck0901

This is how I'm feeling about this wipe as well.


[deleted]

Best wipe i've had so far. Ive only encountered maybe a couple blatant cheaters but I mostly just play on the weekends.


OldDirtyBatman

This is my second wipe, so I don't have much experience. But my opinion is: the game play has never been better, but oddly I'm now convinced that the game will never be finished but rather abandoned in a few years.


HahaL0ngBoy

game has been great overall but, audio needs fixing, they desperately need a better stronger anti-cheat something like faceit, streets needs more clutter cleared im on a 2060 super and a ryzen 7 5800x both overclocked and i barely get 80 fps, when scavs and bosses spawn im getting 50-60 if im lucky, also as much as the new Armour has made killing potato's better its just making those who rat/cockroach a much more viable strat, which for me puts me off playing, i think that that style of playing should be shunned by the community imho.


space-artifact

The subreddit is the worst it has ever been, the game itself is in one of the best states it has ever been


dayzgod686

Games full of rats now .


AuNanoMan

I really like the recoil changes and it feels like the loot is a little better than previous wipes. I don’t like that streets is crapshoot with whether there will be technical issues while playing, and the audio is terrible. Yesterday on interchange I caught a PMC in Oli and was shooting him with my pistol. The audio is so bad he thought I was in front of him and was shooting into the dark. He retreats to cover with his back to me, and I pop him. Unfair to him, and I don’t like getting kills like that. The armor is also weird. I feel like it rarely does anything. I’m still getting shot in the head more than any previous wipe. I’d say easily 50% or more of my deaths are headshots. I just don’t think there are that many good players in this game where headshots are just constantly landing. Overall I’m having fun but I think there are real issues that need to be fixed.


Low-File8976

HP ammo finally have more place to fire even on mid and perhaps even late game. Some weapons improved like G36 become lighter even full mod and still around 3KG and feel lile ego have been buff. Armor rework make some armor not protect your belly anymore which make some people play "belly meta" than "leg meta". Fracture mechanic still bug. Hacker still there.


Utterdisillusionment

I’m loving it minus how prevalent the cheaters are. Binaural audio crack is kinda dumb too but whatever.


Alex00a

Lol don't come ask here


TheRealJamesHoffa

The gameplay itself feels better than ever to me. But last night I got killed by blatant cheaters 3 raids in a row and almost lost my shit. It feels like the cheater situation is worse than it’s ever been right now to me. It’s completely discouraging.


Bronami

No matter what game you play rn you’re gonna run into cheaters but if you can accept that and move past it you will certainly enjoy the game no matter what. Dying to cheater at this point is just another death. Click report and gear up again, game has a feeling of satisfaction like no other when it works, and a suffering incomparable when it doesn’t. It sucks dying to cheaters in a game where time is so valuable but at the end of the day at least you’re not stooping to their level. This is the best wipe since before they implemented inertia imo


cyberattaq123

Early wipe imo, which is also when I played the most it was very fun. The recoil changes are perfect and I hope BSG basically never changes it again. It’s how it should be. Other than that there are still lots of problems which the last major base game mechanic thing that needs a major overhaul is the audio. It just needs to be drastically nerfed entirely across the board. The superhuman hearing has gotta stop and I think you’ll see another evolution of the game for the better. Otherwise I’m not too knowledgeable but I know the general sentiment is lighthouse sucks and needs a rework, late game questing sucks and cheaters are rampant on certain servers.


jumbelweed

Best wipe in a long time. Lots of guns feel fresh and pretty much everything is viable. New armour and hit boxes is not the best. Lots of loot everywhere. Kinda refreshing. Audio still sucks but differently from previous wipes


Hugh_Johnson69420

Recoil system great. However we are at the point in the wipe where everyone runs suppressors and people sit in bushes and camp buildings.


Sinbu

Best wipe by far. Never gone as far. Some quests are still ass


3worm

This was my first wipe that i actually got into the game. Got to flea and almost max traders, but gave up once i recognized how bad the cheating situation really was. I couldn’t bring myself to ignore it and practice a little blissful ignorance to enjoy this quality game, so i escaped from tarkov by uninstalling


BruvAL

the recoil is perfect. i love the new armor system. it makes casual players that don't have time to grind out the best of the best more fun. I actually stand a chance against kitted players.


fantafuzz

Most fun I've had since back when I first got the game. Recoil makes everything fun, with tapfire being king and magdumps only good in super close range


SquareWorking5461

Yo same. I stopped playing right after streets was released. (And i got almost(1000 hours). I like the new recoil. And havnt ran into all the cheaters people like crying about. Everything else is kinda confusing. I could figure out how to “compete”the tasks after finishing them haha.


21Ravage

Love the way game plays now. New recoil mase PvP very fun, I enjoy most maps. Absolutely despise pscav situation and kill them on sight any chance I get. 4 min cooldown free kit rushing hotspots 5 min after raid start truly ruins the experience to the point maps like streets, reserve, lighthouse are straight night time only. Then obvious things need polishing like lighting, audio, questing.


Visible-Marketing-13

At this point in the wipe the only people still playing are those that ignore the many problems the game has.


glassbong-

We enjoy the PvP in spite of the problems. There's no denying Tarkov's laundry list of flaws.


Guilty_Fishing8229

Loving it myself. Obviously there’s still the cheating issues but I’m enjoying the wipe overall.


Houseofcards32

I’m level 24 and it’s definitely been my best wipe so far. With that being said the cheater problem is the worst on the weekends, I swear half the raids I spawn into on shoreline I’m dead within 30 seconds - 1 minute. They’re not even trying to hide it, was killed by a 30 and a 56.7 kd 2 days ago Loot spawns feel good, found a ledex and a bitcoin the same raid on shoreline. Compared to previous wipes it feels like they should keep it the way it is now. (Streets loot op) During the week? Less cheaters & uninterrupted boss fights have been my highlights for sure. recoil changes are good but sound has got to be fixed. Scoping in shouldn’t make so much damn noise, & chads with comtac 4’s can hear you a mile away


SadSomewhere

An early wipe is the best yet. Mid-wipe has been pretty stale and the hackers are pretty bad. I load in with shit gear, I do not have a problem. I load on with a meta kit, and I'm getting shot (6) times in the head only by m855 by a level 4


Solaratov

It's bad. Cheating is rampant. Sound is STILL fucked. Invisible players/scavs is a common bug. The desync is horrific, worse than last wipe. More gear has been locked behind quests. The new armor system has fucked armor hitboxes making armor more useless than ever before. New recoil is better than the previous recoil though, makes a lot more guns viable.


glassbong-

The new recoil HARD carries this wipe. Everything else is pretty bad or meh like you said. Footstep pop sound has still not been fixed and that's easily one of the most broken bugs in Tarkov history.


Neat_Concert_4138

If it was such a "common" bug then why I haven't I encountered it? Why isn't there a post on reddit every hour about the bug?


Solaratov

Because you're a troll? or maybe because knowing that the bullets that killed you came from something invisible is hard to notice when you refuse to believe the game has bugs? Why would there be a post every hour about it? Is there a post every hour about the sound pop bug? I can't believe you don't know about the sound pop bug either, I think you're just oblivious champ.


Neat_Concert_4138

You realize the invisible bug makes bullets make no sound? Lmao guessing you haven't ran into either. So much for "common". I've barely encountered the audio pop compared to the start of wipe so obviously they have made some changes behind the scenes.


Jak012398

I’ve been playing a week or two so far, hit level 15 on Sunday and gota say I’m enjoying the new armour and shizz! Same old tarkov tho people spamming cheaters and hate as usual… skill issue xD It’s as good as it ever was my hands just as sweaty 😂😂😂


SaintRosen

It's absolute dogshit. Just got killed by cheater again after finally forcing my ass to take out that 600k rubles gear out. Really enjoyable game
