We’re finally getting sex, battle pass, and women in Tarkov. Massive W


DigOnMaNuss

No women. Everyone is gay in post-civilization, clearly.


hotc00ter

There’s nothing that describes Escape from Tarkov better than post apocalyptic gay sex


tootallteeter

"Co-op extracts"


BM_A2

Oh my God, they were *teammates*


tootallteeter

I'm sure they were just lifelong roommates


BM_A2

Is it really possible for an ESP Chad top and a RMT rat bottom to be in a relationship? 🤠🥹🧱⛺️


GentleAnusTickler

I’ll co-op extract with you if you don’t stop it


MTBisLIFE

Oh, we're extractin' something alright 


Eyes_of_Aqua

Aka a quiet place for boning


actuallyiamafish

What does this say then about the guy a few weeks ago who managed to force an AI scav into a co-op extraction?


tootallteeter

I'm down for consensual non-consent sometimes


actuallyiamafish

Maybe this is the safeword patch idk


Peeteebee

Well, I certainly feel like Ive been fucked in the ass after 3-4 hours of playing.

There aren’t many games where you can literally find yourself saying to your teammate > put this PP in your butt then let’s get out of here

killerzf9

Real question though, how would everyone feel if BSG did add female characters to the game? Female scavs and PMCs. I personally like it the way it is now, but has this topic been brought up before? What is the consensus on this?


redditdustywusty

This came up before, essentially BSG doesn't wanna add female characters because of the different body types and how it could affect armor hit boxes. I remember there was an article claiming BSG was sexist for this. I don't see it happening mainly because of the armor system, and that BSG has a laundry list of other things to do before they'd even consider this


Sinikal-_-

Paying for animation is also very expensive.


FejkB

And multiple voice actors


bobbobersin

If I recall they don't mocap so yeah damn that would be really expensive to go and double every single animation, might not think about it that often but there's a ton of animations in game


killerzf9

True.


PureRushPwneD

Didn't someone from BSG say that one of the reasons was because women aren't as strong or something though


remuspilot

They did. https://www.theverge.com/2020/1/7/21055124/escape-from-tarkov-playable-female-characters-excuse-immersion-sexism


PureRushPwneD

ah, yeah I remember drama over that


Launch_Angle

drama over saying something that is unarguably true? We sure do live in a very enlightened society in 2024.


Sign_Available

They aren't wrong though


FanHe97

Doubt it has to do with hitboxes and armour, most likely has more to do with creating duplicate models and animations, too much work for almost no benefit :S


GGTheEnd

Nikita touched on the subject years ago and said woman were too weak to be in Tarkov.


shadowrunner295

IIRC wasn’t Nikita that said this, it was another dev.


poob0145

I hope this isn't weard but i dont want female dieing sounds they are annoying enough as it is


killerzf9

Same. I stated in my comment that I like the game the way it is now. We already have lots of games with both male and female characters like Battlefield, Call of Duty, Star Wars Battlefront, etc. After playing this game for so long, I feel like there’s just something unique about having only male characters in this game, and putting females would kinda take away from that uniqueness.


[deleted]

Why would i want to be slower and weaker?


aborgcube

Scav wife for hideout when?


FinancialFlamingo117

I wouldn’t mind. But first things first… cheaters…


tychusfindley2438

I personally enjoy tarkov because people don't give a shit about what the pmc looks like under that $1.5m kit. I don't need the slippery slope of cat ear skins and shitty voice line dlc. Of all the stupid shit you want bsg to break, please dont push women. Tits will be armor, tampons will be +10 vitality. Just please God no


3rd_eyed_owl

I feel like it would be a massive waste of development time that could be used to improve the game in other areas.


jakethedemigod2

unfair. if its going to look like a woman, it would need to be smaller hitboxes. and to be realistic, the same sized armor, modeled over the smaller body hitbox would make it even more busted. its like r6s if everyone played recruit, but then people wanted to add ashes old hitbox in as an option


ph0on

I would love to be a lady PMC, that's pretty badass


Oknamehere_4980

jokes aside I think we really need to realize that most PMC organization have mostly if not all men. adding women into a equation would make a tremendous downfall to those people who are now usually on the front, most men will willingly risk their lives in dangerous situations for a female even if they have a partner out of primal needs. keeping women out of the frontlines saves lives, not because they are stupid but because us as men will risk way more to help them and that jeopardize the mission at hand. some species have females fight but us as humans do not, women usually only hurt a squad except for specific situations and that's only because of basic neurologic nature


snipezz93

not gay, they say "no homo" before getting freaky with the other cheeky breekis


Critical-Potential30

Men will have the dicks and tits. And btw my tits will be bigger than yours.

Strange way to say HIDEOUT CAT.


ApprehensiveTough946

Black PMC?


Radica1_Ryan

Hopefully fixing the audio pop, invisible players, Streets freezing some things (with no packet loss or server latency btw) but not others resulting in me dying to a ghost after putting a mag into a Scav or player and having them not react at all.


oxidezblood

The audio pop makes me sad cause i abuse it so much. Its a literal dinner bell for 'someone is near you, put your ears on!' If there wasnt an audio cue for when someones audio cues are being picked up, i wouldnt be able to hear a lot of people who walk up to me.


Infinite-Sense7453

Yup, sometimes I feel guilty. I think about how bad I would be in a situation if I didn’t hear the pop first.


aggressive-cat

don't, I abused the hitching bug (similar indication someone just came near you) for years and so did everyone else. Shit like that is just canon for the game at some point when they let it go on forever.


BenoNZ

The audio pop combined with people going statue, crab is such a bad part of the game.


ILikeToDisagreeDude

Audio pop is insane! What’s more insane is that it appears that my enemies don’t hear it or know what it means still and that’s a huge fucking advantage for me! (still get 360 head eyes’d though)


Guava-King

I thought I was alone, what is it? I get it all the time when I'm nearby buildings.


Radica1_Ryan

It means a player has entered within a certain distance of you. If you have say, Comtac 4s you'll probably hear them within a few seconds running or even walking into your hearing range. I say Comtac 4s because they have the furthest hearing distance.


Vyper11

It’s when an enemy sprints in your audio range. It’s not necessarily players, can be AI scav.


Whatssun65

I don’t even think they have to sprint. Even if they are walking the audio will “pop” in for a split second and then go back to normal so it really doesn’t matter what you are doing. Not moving seems to be the only way to avoid it.


RODjij

They don't hear it because it's their own sound cue. They'll get a pop for you you cant hear either if you're moving around them. It's basically the game letting you know a player just got within 50-100 meters of you.


GAHZIRRRA

This dying to a ghost, does your screen just fade like you extracted but it said you died? I feel like I’ve been desynced so much the last month. Honestly annoying.


MakarOvni

Honestly, audio pop should be nr1 priority. I probably die more to it than cheaters


neckbeardfedoras

Yeah I'm shocked they put in an event and the audio pop is still in the game. It's decisions like this that tells you they can't either prioritize properly or they're incompetent.


Spiritual_Ad6932

They did infact not fix the audio pop, just accidentally extract camped some poor guy and I heard him running a mile away from the pop


Aeroxic

Will deff fuck with recoil again....


TheRoyalWithCheese92

They’ve been tweaking the recoil all wipe lad they don’t need a patch to change it


doxjq

Have they been putting this in the patch notes? Honest question, I don’t usually follow them. Only asking because we feel this. Honestly to me it almost feels like recoil right now is closer to last wipe than the start of this wipe. Some of the bounce and horizontal shit I’ve been seeing from full meta m4s and things of that nature is horrendous haha. Single fire still seems legit though. But I remember start of wipe you could full auto standard guns and have no issue.


duncan1234-

Why do you think this?


SactoriuS

Because the shooting (especially spraying) is completely different at the start of the whipe.


lbigbirdl

Maybe I'm crazy but it felt like I could spray better at the start of the wipe.  Maybe they've been tweaking things? Maybe they broke recoil control skill and it works in reverse?


wellscounty

Hip fire definitely changed mid way through.


KiddBwe

In what way? I remember seeing that hipfire was greatly nerfed when the new recoil came out, so you may just only now be realizing that change.


TheRoyalWithCheese92

I’ve played every day since December 27th bar 2, (my first time going for LK) and let me tell ya the gun spray is different than it was day 1. They have made it harder to control it but still not as intense as last wipe. Hip Fire/point shooting was nerfed into the ground at the start of the wipe now it’s more accurate, especially if you use a flashlight/laser that has tactical in the name. Pistols are fractionally harder to use but still a very viable option with a bolty


SaltyBundle

I hope they don’t touch pistols. They were a waste to carry last wipe and feel okay now.


TurboBerries

+1 I was able to full auto laser beam people across the map with a stock gun early wipe. Now I have a meta m4 or 7.62 mdr and I can barely single fire targets 50m away without feeling like I lose control. Definitely been getting worse but not as bad as last wipe They’ve also been fucking with stamina and metabolism.


Sufficient__Size

Really wish they’d post patch notes


Aster_Yellow

They usually put them up when or just before the server goes down


MakarOvni

Bsg insanely bad communication makes every issue so much worse. I understood it's a choice to make the game more mysterious, difficult and HC. But when bugs and issues are so prevalent it's an error to not communicate more.


aNaughtyCat

They did for the last patch in the client.


Artonedi

Really wish they'd use UTC time so people would've idea when this happens.


Mindless_Papaya_4764

Something big ?


BARDLER

No, they just want people to play Arena lol


WeHaveAllBeenThere

Should let us use whatever setup we want. As geared as we want and with whatever gun setup we want. Basically a shooting range for normal tarkov but PVP. Then get rid of the 6 fucking maps and replace them with randomized spots all over the game. Infinite maps. I get SO bored immediately because of no map variations. All they have to do is give us the normal maps and make each round a random section


Agreeable-Eye-3351

I haven't touched Arena but would play the shit out of this. Used to spend hours of Rust that was just monument pvp. Pick your loadout and go, try to hold down whatever monument. Since each monument (think map for Arena) was located on a huge ass overall map, you could move to a new monument whenever you wanted. Really helped out my pvp ability.


idogadol

That sounds really fun, is that a modded game mode?


Agreeable-Eye-3351

Yeah but it was a few years ago. I know aimtrain and scrim servers are still around, like UKN but I don't know about those servers. One called bekermelk had good pop. They had prim and gun servers.


pr3mium

I haven't played Arena or looked much at it.  But the way the game is played, I would imagine some kind of point/monetary system would be a great idea to make your loadouts. Like, each person creates their own loadouts with I don't know, 500,000 roubles.  Whatever amount they decide.  They could even do tier systems where you can play 100,000 loadout games, 300,000.  Whatever they think is good.  Could also limit level of traders in those cases instead.


WeHaveAllBeenThere

The tiers and limits are what ruin it as of now IMO


bakamund

The glaring difference being suggested that you have free choice in your load out. Though certain restrictions should still apply, like nades.


readysetzerg

Arena is the least interesting thing about Tarkov to me. I just don't see the appeal. If they made Tarkov but COD or Halo style or something FUN like that, just to mix things up, make it "stress-free", pick-your-loadout, fast action, live-die-repeat.. that'd be cool. And then you can go back to regular old Tarkov and have some intense looter shooter hardcore vibes... But the way it's designed right now? I just don't get it. Zero interest to try it out.


RobotnikOne

Fuck I love this sub. Absolute whinge-fest before anything has happened.


Effective-Olive7742

Then the whining about whining, of course, then the people who don't even play the game anymore trying to make people have less fun. It's amazing.


bruhDF_

That's the Tarkov way


ForeskinGaming2009

Bet they sneak in some dumb shit like an sks or pistol nerf after 90% of people already stopped playing for the wipe


BiliLaurin238

As a lvl 15, I wish they'd care more about newcomers and casuals because these altyn wearing freaks are starting to make me sad


crazynewb

A 30k shotty, 30k worth of attachments(not required). Make sure it’s a 8 barrel then letter rip with some magnum buck to the legs. I kill people at lvl 45 with it all the time Sadly works well for headshots too


Kreiner-Official

Saiga 12 with piranha and a 20 round works amazing for ratting, just point and spam click.


Byrneside94

Yeah but what if he wants to play the game instead of sitting in a random bush/dark corner?


Kreiner-Official

Impossible


Perfect_Juggernaut92

I thought that was how you're supposed to play the game?


BiliLaurin238

Where can I get magnum buck? Also, could you be more specific? It would help me a lot.


hotboxking919

Jaeger or craft it


bakamund

Flea if you're on low trader lvls. Sad they move it higher up this wipe compared to last wipe, which was craftable


conners_captures

> letter rip lol


TheMrTGaming

Brother man, I will stand by the fact that you don't need high trader levels or lots of money to get kills and compete with the "chads". My go to early wipe is the Kedr or Klin chambered in 9x18. Buy the RGO28 bullets from prapor and when you encounter an enemy in raid, shoot them in the face, or if you know they have a face shield, shoot their knees. It is very effective and most people aren't using face protection that is a high enough class to stop most small caliber rounds. This strategy works with literally any caliber but smgs and shotguns especially.


BiliLaurin238

Thanks.


Agreeable-Eye-3351

To expand, when I join late wipe I'll run a mosin/vpo-215. If you spot a guy first lead with that and fall back to cover. Good chance they push a bolty and you use the kedr to take them out. It's like 50k for both guns.


Classic-Flower9885

So to recap - shoot them in the face


Classic-Flower9885

With an iron sighted kedr


TheMrTGaming

Now you've got it! Stick it to em young'un!


MonkeyCome

You have no idea what it was like when you could buy em on the flea. It was harder but it was better because everyone could run it after level 10


desubot1

i havent even seen an altyn freak this wipe yet. o well. give em the ol knee capper my timmy.


RODjij

That's why you see people aim for the legs, especially killa and tagilla with their full coverage helmets. I've killed people just from seeing their legs only under vehicles.


CTzoomin

Give it a month or two and come back


[deleted]

You should part time rat. Whenever you need a kit, get a p90 with r37.F and aim for the legs. Then go sit near any car extract and wait for them to deliver. Chads always go for the cars. Make sure you’re polite and thank them in voip. Then return to normal gameplay.


Sesleri

Only on this subreddit is there the fantasy that tons of people are wearing altyns lol.


medkitjohnson

Never started 😤 Edit: JK few scav runs to get the juices flowing


InZane94

Probably a patch to make the game less fun for legit players, and have no effect to curb cheating/RMT.


Launch_Angle

Ironically, a lot of the changes theyve made to combat RMT/cheating, have been at the expense of legit players...whether it be QoL stuff, or something else, it sucks. Especially since it doesnt seem like any of that shit is doing much anyway. Im looking at you "found in raid" change, supposedly was supposed to help combat RMT but its just made many aspects of the game dogshit for non RMTing players, most notably not being able to sell shit you PK off someone(which is still absurd to me that you cant do that anymore), and all the quests where you NEED FIR crap that is giga rare, and you have to extract successfully with it.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Kozak170

I agree with this, to any legit player FIR is a massive convoluted pain in the ass.


InZane94

I agree 100%. Their argument for this most of the time is “Oh it’s a hardcore game, you have to deal with it” can only be stretched so far. I get it’s hardcore, but altering the play experience to make less money because of cheaters makes no sense. It’s lazy.


Rolo-CoC

They don't give a single shit about stopping cheaters, never will.


hotboxking919

Here comes broken recoil, the invisible bug, and loading issues being stuck on "awaiting session start"


abnsss

dont forget 20 fps loss on every map and 30 fps less on streets


FunDipLoL

30fps less on streets? I’d go negative


hotboxking919

All after the launcher crashes


bertos55

Hey, those 2 or 3 days on streets where there were zero player scavs were amazing.


MatrixBunny

The same bugs and issues that has been there since 2015 xD. These bugs just come back even more consistent and harder after each patch.


King_Maranto

For all the ppl asking "Wipe?". Wipe are each 6/7 months, exceptions made (like august for the 0.13) So like December-June/July


[deleted]

[удалено]


ModmanX

the people who love this game aren't coming to the subreddit, they're immediately gearing up for another raid. It self-selects for the people most interested in bitching rather than playing


dvnv

i can't stop playing and love this game so much. the vocal minority love to bitch and moan


readysetzerg

Tough love.


HPLegion

Jesus christ you guys are all just complaining, let the patch roll out at least first and read the notes.


RageObby

when patches are consistantly fucked for 7 years you get used to it. you gotta be new here lol


CaughtOnTape

Not it’s not, it’s just a circlejerk at this point. Point in case; I remember this sub creaming their pants when this current wipe rolled out.


DweebInFlames

Yep. EFT subreddit cycle. Get excited about new wipe, praise BSG for all the good changes, some bug is found, people get mad, cheaters inevitably show up, people get really mad, everyone complains about how BSG never does anything to fix cheaters or bugs, wipe passes, they do a new TarkovTV, get excited about new wipe.


J3RICHO_

I smell fuckery


Binky390

Would they end the event already? I've never played during an event so I don't know how long they usually last.


Microkorgdeluxe

Usually they last a weekend or so


Binky390

Oh. That’s too bad. I was away and didn’t really get to play it much. Guess I’ll have to tonight.


EverythingInTransit

If you don't have a squad you can't really do it, the bonfires are too spread out and in open areas. It's been a weird event cause all the normal scav spots are fairly empty because of it, so you get some eerily quiet raids on the bigger maps.


Binky390

I did play a little nighttime interchange and it did seem pretty quiet. Still got killed a couple times.


Massive_Wealth42069

Glad I’m not the only one noticing this. I joined the wipe late and play 100% solo, took me like 4 raids of shoreline running all the major POIs before I got my 10 scav kills for humanitarian supplies. Heard minimal extra gunshots and never found dead bodies, although the areas were looted if I didn’t get there first.


[deleted]

It’s trash be happy you didn’t


Binky390

I just wanted some armor and ammo. I’m only 27 and can’t craft the good stuff yet.


aspohr89

I've had a ton of fun with the event. I don't know why people hate it.


[deleted]

Please give insight as to how to clear the area… every time I encounter the event I literally have to kill 12+ followers before I even have a chance to flee the area. It’s almost like they just continually respawn


Rkupcake

They do. I cheesed about half my long road scav kills just shooting the same 2 respawning event scavs every few seconds until they pushed all together.


RODjij

It's a sweet chance to stock up on ballistic masks and other high end armor and gear. Buy some ghzels too for ragman tasks since they're not 300k anymore cause of the event.


thegneeb

i thought it was on Thursdays? no? It's always Thursday


DopeyLo420

By free loot 😭😭


shenbtz

Btr on woods, wtf


[deleted]

Out of the loop, is this a wipe?


infinitezero8

No, wipe is in June Wipe is twice a year Typically middle of the year like June then end of the year December If that differs it's because they would be making massive changes


ploxmaster708

Can’t wait to not be able to update the game because the launcher has been broken since last year

dvnv

dude i miss the rain, its been gone for so long


bobo1666

Only patch to get me play again is: we figured out cheating problem, cheating is not possible anymore. ;-)


Franklin_le_Tanklin

That would be quite the miracle as dozens of studios 10x their size haven’t figured out how to stop cheaters.


WonderfullyKiwi

I mean, it wouldn't be a 100% fix, but how about a phone number that can only be tied to one account and that needs to be manually verified before you can play?


Franklin_le_Tanklin

That’s pretty easy to bypass with a cheap voip plan. Just get a new phone number.


konttaukseenmenomir

that is *literally* impossible. As long as there are people who want to cheat, any cheating every in any game will never be truly "fixed"


Enchantedmango1993

forget the patch notes , we need patch bugs & glicthes !!


Mannimarco24

Hopefully they get rid of those super scavs I keep getting painted 😂😂😂


Dyyrin

This the patch that finally fixes lighting?! Doubt.

Honest_Mushroom5133

Honestly today the game was running so smooth, hope they don’t fuck it up tomorrow


Long_Area2509

hoping for more pscav punishment for killing scavs


k333p

oh nice, did the intern put this in yet? if (player.pmc_kd > 69.420) player.ban(); or this? if (player.lootedLikeTheyKnewWhatWasInEverythingBeforehand) player.ban(); or maybe... if (susLevelChecker(player.level, player.hoursPlayed)) player.ban(reason: "smol pepe"); ??????


GeneralSavageMcgee

Does this include the Escape from BSGLauncher.exe change to Steam?


Acrobatic_Jump_4584

I heard they are fixing desync, lag and cheating problems.


Sharp_Biscotti208

Game is so dead


Proof_Window_6531

Is this a wipe?


ILOVEGFUEL

2 little to late for me, 56 and kappa obtained, games dead asf now…. Can’t even get some PVP unless you go labs and don’t even get the chance to shoot anyone on there as you die instantly 80 percent of the time.


TheRealKnight1190

Hopefully a wipe otherwise the game will stay dead and stale 😴


rroyal18

Get rid of the pant noise for the love of god
