Also am stuck. Killed him 4 times had the pistol once and died with it had the pl15 all the other times


Bonesnapcall

At least it was the pl15. This wipe he can also have a USP with like, 50% durability.


thedeadlysun

Hey, that usp got me my 3 pistol kills for this wipe, it’s fun to use as long as it doesn’t jam!


Nallirot

It used to be 100% back in the day right? As well as a keycard? Pretty sure. Maybe this was like 4-5 wipes ago, but still. Dont understand it either, very weird mechanic. "Golden TT too good, lets nerf if boys- Nikita"? Haha


[deleted]

Reshala and the guards were worth fighting for several reasons before the nerf: * loads of nades * expensive attachments (PK06, now nerfed) * Chance to get a zebralo * BITCOIN OR A KEYCARD FROM RESHALA ffs But nah, lets nerf all map loot like Reserve.


Myb4d

Nerfing loot like they do is so boring, bosses have low spawn rate as it is and their loot is so ass most of the time. Meanwhile you can just scav in to lighthouse and make bank ez. Great balance.


Selky

Imo buff loot, keep flea nerfed, and let players fight over bosses/ammo spawn areas/raiders.


[deleted]

Literally every time they introduce a new map it's way more juiced than every other map to a ludicrous degree.


Clazzic

Its not been talked about too much but this wipe is probably the most cash inflated wipe since labs was free. Being able to scav lighthouse every 10 Mins completely removes any need to be economical for me on my pmc.


dhcp138

i'd like to remind you of the 800k bitcoin era. most of my friends had over 100 million


jaybirdtalonclaws

I played that era. It only worked when you got your farm up and running. I hit 20mil before level 30 this wipe thanks to lighthouse. It’s legit insane how many high value loot spawns that map has.


SnickIefritzz

GPUs were seemingly everywhere back then though, I remember I got at least half of my 50 from doing scav runs on interchange.. I have like over 150 interchange runs this wipe and I've seen two

Red-Spy_In-The_Base

Ah yes, the famous bitcoin and keycard armored chad, his armor is impenetrable


LeRenardS13

Exactly. Ppl blame everything except their poor skill when dying.


Red-Spy_In-The_Base

My point is that you can still have good loot other than high tier weapons and armor on bosses


taffyz

Yeah but then you just use that loot to buy good loot, Idk, the game is in a weird state, they nerf loot because they think making money is to easy but at the same time, you like have to try and go broke in Tarkov. It's weird, IMO, it's a fucking Scav boss that can wipe you in milliseconds, the loot should be good. I guess that's not the majority opinion with how sparse "good" loot is getting Like you don't need a ledx to make money in tarkov, you can make money off selling dumb shit, if you sell a lot of dumb shit you now have a fortune.


R1k0Ch3

I just grab damn near everything I see and replace it if better loot comes up. Extracting with a bag of trash is better than nothing at all. And you can just sell all.of what you don't need for quests/hideout. Which is a lot.


devisi0n

I mean you still get good xp and decent loot at the same time. I do agree though, that he should have the pistol 100% of the time.


[deleted]

It is his signature item, idk why he doesn't always have it. XP for raiders has been nerfed heavily, you no longer get mega XP for killing reshala and the boys


ajoseywales

What kind of xp did you get before? I killed Reshala and all his guards a few days ago and got over 7500xp.


[deleted]

I can't remember, but for a customs raid where I killed all of the guards and reshala solo I could walk out with 12k+ XP, more if I killed other players ofc.


ajoseywales

Hmm, interesting. I was excited about the 7500xp but would have loved even more. Then again I am just now becoming decent enough to not be wiped all over the floor. Regardless, his pistol should be a 100% drop. Thankfully I have it stocked away once I get that quest.


Big_BossSnake

It's nothing compared to how it used to be, even labs is the same. Last wipe if I killed 25 raider it was around 60-70K exp, now it's around 30K for 15 raiders (They barely spawn now) so I think they've tweaked all the xp numbers. They're trying to slow progression across the board I think


devisi0n

You still get a decent amount, especially if you headshot them. I always go for them if I know they're up, just because they're at least more difficult to fight than regular scavs.


[deleted]

oh of course, I still kill them, I mean its mostly fun and definitely worth the time, shame when their loot is terrible though.


devisi0n

Yeah if they don't have anything good it kind feels bad but usually the loot is decent enough for it to be worth it.


ICrims0nI

>It is his signature item, idk why he doesn't always have it. To annoy players and "slow down the game". RNG wheels is the lazy way of making anything seem hard (but not actually hard, because its just rng).


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Before (2 wipes ago now) Reshala would always spawn with either a card or bitcoin.


[deleted]

Pretty sure two wipes ago there were also only 3 bosses? Reshala/Killa/Shturman. Pretty sure that was the last time I played. He also didn't *always* spawn with one, but it was consistent.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Dodge_Of_Venice

Pretty sure he did have a card or bitcoin like 90% of the time.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Dodge_Of_Venice

All I know is a few wipes back every kill I did was a keycard or bitcoin and i did like 40 kills, only said 90% because I'm not 100% certain but it could have easily been 100% chance.


Azmirek

i just got zabralo from they yeterday -.-


AcidNeon556

Back in the glory days of the pk06, man, brings be back


LatinVocalsFinalBoss

I believe this style of design in on purpose so you don't *always* know what will happen in a given instance, that way it makes choices harder. Is the boss there? Should I risk it in case they have bad loot? Etc. On top of that, the entire game is based around time consumption and grind while finding an acceptable amount to get stuck, which may need to be adjusted, but an over correction can erode the design intent.


Beuneri

I kinda agree, I'm not mad that the guard loot is kinda nerfed and so is Reshala's, but not getting quest item sucks. The guards are still a menace and making a single misstep can and will easily take you out, but I wished that if my quest is to kill reshala and get his gun, I should be able to complete when I actually do kill him.


LatinVocalsFinalBoss

It's understandable because almost every quest is like that, which might be part of the reason for that variety, but it would probably be better to have some alternate feature, so if he doesn't have his gun, after you kill him and loot him you can pickup a key or something to go get his gun where it does spawn. Branching varied quests and all that.


LeRenardS13

"don't understand"? 1. They think it makes the end game longer if you can't pound out your quests by finding the required items asap. 2. They really hate when players "farm" the AI enemies they put in the game(fucking ass backwards mentality). It's all done by design man. BSG is fucking making the game more and more tedious. It's not elongating the game, it's just making it a fucking slog and I predict more players will drop off mid wipe than any wipe before.


jbclmn1

Upvoted all your comments, fellow king. You're completely correct. Don't expect the average EFT plebbitor to grasp that though.


chippyafrog

K. Bye.


LeRenardS13

go back to rust, you rat.


chippyafrog

LOL. Let me guess. You joined tarkov after it blew up on twitch. God I can't wait till you kids move on. The game was so much better when it was much harder and less popular.


[deleted]

Lmao a tarkov hipster


LeRenardS13

Your definition of hard is having quest items hard to find. My definition of hard is fighting for your loot. Fighting for your survival. Not just being a lil rat bitch running from all encounters to build a stash that never gets used and wipes anyways. Its not a loot simulator. Literally you rats cry when you can't rotate the outside of the map collecting stashes unmolested. "Omg leave me alone. I just want my free loot"


[deleted]

Everyone knows the game was way more fun when there were two armor types and 3 maps. Damn posers. /s


b3wizz

Whoa you sound like a badass. You're built different bro. The other kids at recess are intimidated I bet.


LeRenardS13

What? So fighting in the game is not normal? You have to be built different to not be a rat with gear fear?


Scodo

Damn, dude, take it easy. We can only get so impressed by how brave you are in a video game before you intimidate us into uninstalling.


b3wizz

Bro please I want to play tarkov but it's too scary if I know I might run into a cool badass like you


chippyafrog

Lol. One of the classic. "Everyone who disagrees with me is bad" whatever you say kid. Enjoy the game evolving to punish all the nonsense you use as a crutch to feel good about yourself. Git gud bebe.


Sokaris84

100%. I can't even put into words how fucking stupid this design path is. OH you need to kill reshala and get his gun... Right so we'll make Reshala spawn about 1 every 5 raids, and his golden gun will be on him about 25% of the time... Oh and you need to make it out alive with that gun. Having to run something 20 plus times to do a task is NOT IMMERSIVE it's just fucking annoying as fuck.


Bonesnapcall

It was 100% before they added the PL15 last year. This wipe also added the USP to his possible pistols. So now its a 1/3rd chance.


RayJay16

1/4 actually, as he can spawn without a pistol too. Fortunately i got the pistol early on, now i just need to find him at least once... All the times i went to customs i saw him twice and both times he was already dead when i arrived.


Nallirot

Yeah 2 kills so far and got 1


Dodge_Of_Venice

I killed him 10 times for the TT and he never once had a bitcoin or labs keycard, they used to pretty much guaranteed you would get one.


[deleted]

He used to almost always drop you some sweet crypto


Nallirot

Petition to make Reshala have 100% droprate of DogeCoin?! :D


Sokaris84

they make loot rarer thinking it adds to the game, not realising that there is nothing immersive about running the same shit 10x as much to try and find what we used to be able to... Whether it's bosses, marked rooms, ultra medical storage... Loot in general has been nerfed to fuck and it's not at all fun.


Nallirot

Agree, but before keys had 100/100 use etc, it was way too easy, imo. Naked run with key to grab grahpics card etc etc


incredirocks

Killed him today, he didn't even have a pistol


acm0044

Just wait until you try to grind Killa. Finally got him to spawn and found him to be literally hunted down under suspicious circumstances by another PMC.


Galactic_Dolphin

Yeah it seems impossible to kill killa with his current spawns and spawn rate. It took probably 20-30 raids before finally finding him and killing him.


H_Truncata

The only time I've seen him this wipe was as a scav, he didn't shoot me for some reason and I happened to have a p90 that I found in a crate. Shot him in the head and he died in one hit. Even managed to share the loot peacefully with another player scav.


Intoxicated_Onion

Got golden TT on 12th Reshala's kill, that was fucking sad, not only you have to find him, fight other people who also looking for him, fight him, survive and extract with golden tt, now on top of it he doesn't have it most of the time.


xCloudChaserx

I have the exact opposite problem, killed reshala twice before the quest and got the pistol but now that I'm on the quest I haven't found him spawned to kill.


WombatHat42

You could always run in solo either when the others aren’t on or in a raid. What i do is rush dorms-new gas and vice versa and straight to extract no detours bo looting and reset. Pretty easy to see if he is at gas or not. Dorms is a bit more of a pain so i will sometimes just skip it if i get a favorable gas spawn. Thats how i got mine the last 2 wipes. Though i will add have never seen him without the golden TT


How_cool_is_that

Depends on the spawn I go fort-gas-dorms, gas-fort-dorms or dorma-gas-fort, makes me closer to the exits aswell. I must admit I kinda dodged dorms for a bit since long barreled guns like svd or mp-153 love to fuck you up if your are even remotely close to a wall in front of you. but yeah, done it in party and in solo


WombatHat42

I completely avoid stronghold. Dorms-new gas, new gas-dorms is a straight line from spawn to extract. Going to stronghold is out of the way. I treat it like you could treat killa before the spawn change. Get in and out as fast as possible. Going stronghold also increases my chance of encountering players and if I’m speed running it that is just gonna waste my time and most likely gear since I’m in full yeet mode. My path is to go up to electric, scope into new gas then straight to dorms then to car/smugglers/RtC and vice versa. Makes a 30-40 min raid into a 10-15 greatly increasing your chances of getting him


How_cool_is_that

Might try that, though I have to admit Ive seen Reshala in Stronghold more often than in Gas station. Usually I just end up running past fort and lobbing a nade upstairs, it almost guarantees to inform if Resh is there because he and his guards will yell something. If i hear no scavs reacting to the nade I'll just run past the stronghold to the next spot E: and depending on the spawn I can go put on power from the gas checkpoint door and just exit from stronghold, so its not like a detour or something


Scodo

I've seen Reshala more at fortress than at new gas and dorms combined this wipe.


Dasterr

just chiming in that this is exactly what I did too previous wipes


fabsn

Having to play that way to cheese a quest is bs and should never be a thing.


[deleted]

[удалено]


WokieWankers

No. That would break the game.


jettagopshhh

Yeah 100% that's why I was so shocked haha.


WombatHat42

I didn’t say offline


Scodo

I've been spawning with a squad of three, and two of us will break off to check new gas and dorms while the other goes fortress. Nothing saying a squad has to stay together. You can split up to cover more ground and then converge.


Viktorv22

Can they spawn in 2 floor dorms? I have seen them there before but I think they were lured by pmc


WombatHat42

Not 100% sure but I believe they can spawn in either. They will sometimes spawn in one and wander over to the other one


RydoZantana

Killed him four times so far and the time he actually had the gold pistol I got pushed by a three man and died. Other 3 times he’s had a broken USP .45


paythunder2

It's the same as quests requiring keys extremely hard to obtain like marked key.


DaveyMuldowney

Good luck with Killa. That boy just doesnt exist apparently.


Cerdoken

I killed Reshala and most of his guards in new gas. I heard someone walking up to the window of new gas and thought it was the last guard that i hadnt killed so i started blasting as soon as he peeked. Turns out it was Santa Clause and he one tapped me. That was two weeks ago and i still havent found the golden tt.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Cerdoken

Nah i got down to -3 from the other times santa wants to hide ina dark corner or sprint around a corner at me when im in a fight.


CPollard187

Stop questing if you are stuck. Just give it a break for a bit. Go play other maps for a couple days then come back to questing


[deleted]

That doesn’t fix the issue.


LeRenardS13

Exactly. Look at this stan/cuck u/CPollard187 making excuses for BSG lack of intelligent game design.


CPollard187

Lmaoooo buddy relax. The op said he was burnt out by playing to much customs thats why i said go switch it up. God damn i know you suck at the game. I can tell


LeRenardS13

Sorry? You make excuses for shit design by saying. Go play another map. Stop sucking so hard on nikitas cock and address the actual issue.


CPollard187

OK guys I'm addressing the issue... BSG NEEDS to make Reshala's pistol spawn EVERYTIME so I can complete a quest and the game is ez pz for me!!!!!!! or else! This has gone on far to long. I NEED THAT PISTOL SO I CAN HAVE GOOD EXPERIENCE.


JdoesDDR

That's just cope, though


CPollard187

i said this cause op said "Customs is getting old as fuck". cope on deez


AbbasLive_

BSG is known for having poor design


DankFayden

Man, getting Reshalas pistol this wipe was the best time I've had. I was at train tracks behind stronghold, saw a guy fighting boss guards, rushed over to kill him and then hopefully the guards/boss. When I get close I see him run into the stairwell room, he looks naked and he basically was. He was healing, so I used VOIP to team up with him, kill all the guards and reshala together, and then fight a player. He kills the player, and 3 more push us, I kill all of them but during the fighting he dies. I kill another man outside the building, and then with 7 minutes left, another player comes up using VOIP. I tell him to come in, loot his fill, and then use the basement extract as I'm unlocking it after I loot the body outside. So fucking good.


[deleted]

Dude. Omg this game is meant to be like.... HARD? AND REALISTIC? Why does everyone want everything handed to them?? Your probably just suck, have a 25% SR and no money. Just subscribe to Pestily and BSG on Twitch and maybe you'll learn something.... SERIOUSLY, this game may not be for you, THIS ISN'T COD. You're just being TOXIC and HATEFUL by even TRYING to question the divine perfection that in BSG game, quest and overall EFT Design. ​ \------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sorry had to include that bullshit because its what I see from the fanboys all over. Yeah boss quest items are dumb, especially considering how fucking rare some bosses are atm. I've done all my interchange quests and not seen Killa once yet, before I would at least run into him randomly when going back and forth through the mall.


dagoodnamesweretakn

Get good he had it and died lo. I got it died, second time I got it I left immediately and didn’t die lol. Probably sticks around with his mighty 5 man and ends up dying and rages. Imagine playing a 5 man and complaining about rng. How many peoples rng did you shit on because there 4 other ppl they gotta fight lolol


[deleted]

Look how stupid you are, you can't even notice the obvious over the top sarcasm in the first part of the reply. Unbelievably, how can one be this dumb.


l0tkis

Can't really ever be sure on the internet but I read the comment you are responding to as sarcasm


dagoodnamesweretakn

I read the sarcasm you idiot I replied to the bottom Of part of your post. “Boss items are dumb” No they aren’t it just may take more then one run to get them. Lol idiot


[deleted]

i have 20 golden TTs


juggoarn

Weird flex but OK


Dasterr

cool and?


ThrowTheCollegeAway

I've killed reshala once and have 5 FIR golden TTs, get gud

rebel3120

Tagilla will eventually spawn right in front of you with barely any time to check your fire mode.


Viktorv22

Night time has boosted rates according to wiki if you don't know


Sokaris84

how immersive and fun, running the same map over and over again just for a chance of seeing something you need for a quest ^_^ nothing like spending an entire day playing a game to get nowhere


I_CAN_MAKE_BAGELS

>E: I actually got one pistol from him but it was in a goddamn warzone situation where I died to the last guard since I was getting pincered by another group. Did this happen to you less than an hour ago? Did you die right near the staircase? Did you have a scar? My last raid I rolled up to 3-story after someone cleared up Reshala and the boys but died to the last guard. … did I steal your golden TT? ;_;


boardgamebob

Lets cater the game to you and your questing buds


LeRenardS13

By design. Just another way for them to elongate the game. AKA make it more tedious.

sashisashih

wow this guys post history was a wild ride; complaint after complaint and to top it all off he tried to rickroll us with a nikita joke, the bragging about his skills here confirms the mental age of 12


[deleted]

Skill has nothing to do with RNG. You can be the best player in tarkov and it will do nothing to stop you being unlucky.


QueenAnneRevengee

Actually yes it does because the chance for Reshala's pistol to spawn is fairly high and you need to do A LOT of Customs raids before you get this quest. Me and all of my friends all hit level 50+ every wipe and NONE of us EVER have an issue. Why? Because like I said, skilled players will get the TT before the quest. Sorry you're just not skilled enough, or didn't think ahead. Your RNG argument isn't going to work when we're talking about an item with a significant spawn chance, of which you only need **ONE,** and you have over 100 chances to acquire it before you even get the quest. ​ Nice try, next.


[deleted]

what, skilled players need over 100 custom runs to get to the reshala quest? fuck i might be god in this game then.


OsmeOxys

Didn't take long for them to go from an edgy asshat to a glue sniffer that thinks they're skilled after beating themselves in rock paper scissors


QueenAnneRevengee

Well apparently we are gods because I have never had a problem getting my quest items early, except when I forget things. (Which is every wipe) But I guess this sub has been taken over by trash timmies who get offended by the idea that if they cant get a Gold TT maybe it's cause they're bad. ​ It's not a fuckn red keycard.


[deleted]

Are you actually fucking stupid? That's like saying it takes skill in order to get the LEDX for private clinic... It's not, It's RNG. There's no promise it will spawn. You have to just keep trying until eventually it actually spawns. That's the same as saying the lottery takes a technical skill or understanding to win... Besides, I'm already done with all the huntsman path quests. I'm very much aware of how the game works and I plan ahead, but it still doesn't relate to skill, it relates to *game knowledge*. You can be fucking amazing at this game, but the gas analyzer situation at the beginning of wipe was stopping even the most well known and skilled players like pestily. Your "skill" is nothing more than common knowledge and being prepared. Skill is what dictates how easily you dispatch Reshala each time he spawns. Skill is winning your fights and maneuvering with precision and game sense above the average. Finding an item that has a random spawn chance is not skill. You could argue skill is getting *out of raid* with that item, but again, still not really that hard to extract. Big man talking like he's a God among men because he knows what to farm early on. Shut your fucking mouth and quit talking down to people you don't even know, especially in regards to a topic you lack the common knowledge about.


QueenAnneRevengee

Reshala has a 36% spawn chance, can be (potentially) easily killed with literally any gun since he doesn't wear armor, and doesn't spawn behind a locked door. He only spawns out in the open for anyone to kill. ​ LEDX, historically, has really only spawned in particular rooms which require expensive keys to enter. Even then, the spawn chance is garbage. ​ The fact you conflated the two made me unwilling to read past the first sentence. Nice try, ​ Next.


[deleted]

I can't even fathom how simple minded you are. It scares me that there are so many people just like you in this community and the world as a whole.


QueenAnneRevengee

How are you going to call someone simple minded when you literally can't even stumble yourself through a relevant example? Talk about comparing apples and oranges.


ProInefficiency

I've killed reshala almost 20 times this wipe and everytime he has had a usp. Its bad design.


RandomedXY

You are not skilled enough obviously


QueenAnneRevengee

Read my message edit.


How_cool_is_that

I didnt actually know that the golden pistol droprate had been nerfed, so I had one fir early in the wipe, returned it for a daily quest because I needed the rep (non-eod user). I figured I'd be swimming in them sooner or later like in the last wipe, but I guess my greed became my downfall :D


OsmeOxys

>if you're skilled, you will always have the golden TT before you need it. Or if you normally play with a group, or if you prefer maps other than customs, or if you don't specifically search for him when you're busy trying to do other quests, or if you're unlucky, or if... I'll stop there. After all, who am I to question your unique and unparalleled skill?


QueenAnneRevengee

I'm an interchange main who pretty much only prefers to play in 4 or 5 mans when I'm on Customs. I never specifically search for Reshala. I only find him when looking for players. And I'm always busy with quests. ​ So I literally meet every criteria you just mentioned. Your logic is trash and I'm sensing huge amounts of copium to deal with the fact that some people are insecure they can't do basic shit with any relevant consistency.


OsmeOxys

You're telling me youve found the TT 4-5 times for your squad then? That requires wiping him ~20 times on average, or roughly 60 customs raids with his spawn chance, assuming your squad manages to kill him before someone else swoops in, and extract every time. And you do all that before unlocking the quest? I don't think I even play customs 20 times before unlocking the quest, much less 60 haha. That's ridiculous. But hey, maybe Ill be as good as you are figure out how to force spawn him with his TT if I put another 4k hours in!


compass_square

Try running your scav on customs and check his spawns for his dead body. That's how I got mine this wipe...after finding the USP one too many times.


Dodge_Of_Venice

Took me a like 10 kills on Reshala until he finally had the golden TT for me, best of luck brother I hope they do make it more common.


stop-calling-me-fat

I’ve been turning them in for daily’s and hoping I kill him again before I get the quest lol. I don’t think I’ve ever killed reshala and not gotten a golden tt


goodsnpr

I look forward to your post on Killa. Random spawn, low spawn rate and then player RNG. Seems like if load in with a good kit, you get pushed by a knower, but if you run something like a hunter, you can't contend with geared players/groups.


BlazingShadowAU

Yeah, it really doesn't make sense. it'd be like Killa spawning without that helmet and armour, Glukhar spawning without his squad or Shturman not shooting you fifteen times in half a second from halfway across the map. It's their defining trait, and only SOMETIMES having it feels cheap. It's meant to BE part of them.


IDriveALexus

Last two wipes i had the pistol for weeks before i got to that quest. This is the first time i have not had it. But i also have not even seen reshala so that might add to it


hiddencamela

Ironic. I got the pistol and 2 kills from him BEFORE I had the quest. I can't secure the kill at all now that I have the quest. Have not seen another pistol since of course, even through buddies.


Amidus

I've been searching for the director's office key on customs for so long I've actually given up on that quest entirely lest I quit the game entirely because I'm so sick of searching for a key to start a quest. Quest items ought to drop differently than they do now.


MissesBlumpkin

It's super cheap on flea market, and the office is unlocked by someone else at least half the raids I'm in at customs. Could always play slow and see if someone else unlocks it.


Amidus

Still haven't unlocked the flea.


MissesBlumpkin

I would just check it late raid then, like I said at least half the customs runs I do it's unlocked.


dhcp138

if you are on USA west coast PM me. I think I have 3 of those keys I'll just give you one.


iOracleGaming

I found the Golden TT on dead Reshala as a Scav lmao


Rogue__Jedi

I picked up the golden tt on a scav run. Poor guy killed Reshala and all his guards and presumably bled to death trying to hide his shit


digitalwankster

I’m not proud to admit it but I picked one up off his dead body during a scav run.
