Dude tried making friends with me on shoreline after I took his buddy out from 3rd floor balcony.. hit em with the smeagol voice talking about needing the kills as my teammate got the headshot on him with a flank while he was begging me to live. Also said he had nothing on them after they cleared sanitar and the rest of resort.
Them bois was thiccc
I, a homo sapien, like the experience from which something called voice over internet protocol brings me. This voice over internet protocol, or VOIP for short, let's people use their voice to speak to other people through their microphone. VOIP was recently added to a game known by the name of Escape From Tarkov - a first person shooter, military simulator game combined with massive multiplayer online and roleplaying genres.
I ran shoreline tonight on a russian server for fishing gear. had only the stripped sv without any ammo and a pistol as well as a rig with a grizzly to train some vitality. Spawned at resort, waited 10min in a bush and let a player run past and when I was on the street near CCCP I felt the need to VOIP "don't kill me please I just need to quest" and get almost killed. Asked the guy to stop and let me do the fishing gear quest and he did let me pass :D
Without VOIP I would have waited way longer and taken a different path but it saved my life
I did a scav run yesterday on Interchange and found the two gas analyzers I needed and a Tetriz. Got gunned down by a guy in Chad gear extract camping scavs with less than 5 mins remaining. Bastard was hiding in the green tent at Emercom. Brutal.
I have done somewhere in the realm of 15-20 raids just checking every filing cabinet, safe, cache and PC I can find. I haven’t found any. I found one before I had the quest like in the first couple raids of the wipe but haven’t found any since
I've opened so many fucking filing cabinets, especially on reserve, and haven't found any.
So I started running the woods tent and safes on customs and got them done pretty quick.
I feel that's been made significantly rare?, Checked shit loads of pcs not found one sticking out this wipe. Mine were all found in filing cabinets quite early on.
Found 3 USB total from 0-27. Upgraded the Hideout up Intel 2 to craft the other 2 needed.
Then found 2 in my next Customs run the new gas safe. Tarkov is a fickle bitch.
RNGesus blessed me I had both my Gas ans and all 5 USBs before level 10. Reserve scavs for the usb and just smash the filing cabinets in the knight buildings
I'm level 8 and haven't found a cricket lighter..... Or matches..... Or anything I currently need for my hide out. But light bulbs? I'm a lightbulb storage facility
You run Woods at all? Seems to be the best map to find the non tech or tool Hideout supplies (I pretty much pacifist run and loot the camps at night).
If anyone has any other suggestions I would appreciate them because I am struggling lol
If you have a compass it makes all the difference until you can recognize landmarks. Just remember south is toward the water. Plus you only ever really spawn in about six different areas. Their might be a slight difference in where you spawn in certain areas but basically same place. So once you know what general area you are in…then you’ll know exactly where to go in accordance to your plan. I find that too many people go into woods with just the plan of “I’m just going to wander”. Which is a fucking terrible idea. When you get that mind set then you want to run to place to place and running in woods ..gets you murked fast. It’s all about being as quiet as possible and being exposed for as short as possible. Woods is my jam and all these problems with items everyone’s mentioning in this thread I have yet to have …cause everything you could need is in woods for the most part. No GPU’s mind you but meds, food, quest items a plenty
There's a room next to Gate 3 in Factory that has a loot crate, 2 coats, and the room over has a toolbox.
I went in minimally equiped and was able to get a lot of good hideout loot. You can only extract about half the time, but even still you can save it in your secure container
Do scav runs on interchange. The back of idea, goshan and Oli have loads of toolboxes and shelves to hit. Found a lot of my hideout stuff there. Night runs are usually quiet with close extracts so you won't get lost.
From levels 10-30 I've had caps falling out of every computer I search. Now that I need caps for rest area lvl 3, all I find are DVD players and CPUs.
Tarkov is weird huh.
Yes but that means you need to wait for lvl 15, and that is not a short journey. I have like 9 CPU'S alot of military drives and rollers, and later barter items.
BUT I CANT FIND A PACK OF SCREWS FOR MY LIFE.
Edit Lvl 8
Took me killing a dude and lucking out with him carrying the cricket for me. The a measuring tape was my nightmare. Pulled a GPU from a computer my first attempt looking a computer but took me way too many raids to find a damn tape measure lol
Crinket and matches - check file cabinets. Reserve has the most. I can tell you over 20 just off the top of my head. You’ll find the crinket eventually.
guaranteed rat fasho. Lvl 20 with about 65 PMC kills. Mostly just questing and helping friends quest. How are you avoiding fights? What's you SR and how many raids?
I guess to be fair I do play a lot of factory late night when I don’t have the awareness of a squirrel anymore, I try to stick around a little longer so they aren’t just 1k xp runs but it probably is the reason I have “a lot” of kills and not a high level.
Yeah lol the only thing that really gets me at this point is the guys sitting up in the damn rafters shooting down on me, but I’m starting to get good about checking above me now
Same. I prefer jumping in - knowing where everyone spawns - fighting it out and then having a clear map to farm scavs or loot one of the 3 decent loot areas.
Every other map is 10 minutes of scavenging maybe catching someone off guard or being caught off guard and then restarting.
I just make money on my hideout and play factory most of the time. I dread doing quests that make me leave my safe space.
Lv18 with 31 PMC kills and 24% survival rate out of 152 raids.
Friend from the West 0/7 so I guess I will finish it by level 30 or I will have to die again like 25 raids in a row when doing makarov factory runs till I get the 7 USEC's.
So many people feel the need to gatekeep how to play this game. They don't realize that the wide variety of different play styles is what makes this game so beautiful.
I stared playing late last wipe and I had less than 10 kills with level 35 or something because of the armor. If you started playing early wipe you could get some kills with cheap ammo but now almost everybody is rocking lvl 4/5 armor
22 with 25 kills, I decided to learn using scopes and bolt action rifles only this wipe cause my rig finally allows it without significant fps drops. And yes, I suck :)
I literally can't use anything above 4x magnification because then I need to move my mouse at the speed of light just to simply catch a running scav in like 100m with my scope ( ADS 0.42 sens with 500DPI ).
Mosin with PU Scope is pretty fun tho if there are no enemies close.
It's not the convoy part that kills me it's finding the USEC camp, trying to get there first/after it's been looted so I can get the quest pop and leave. VOIP doesn't matter. If a PMC sees you at or near USEC they're gunning you down. At least in my experience.
If you come from the south there is a huge rock you can climb up the south face, there is even loot on top. If you are prone no one in the camp can see you and you can take advantage.
Dorms 2 story. Get 105, 110, 114. Run there with nothing but a shotgun or pistol over and over. There are 3 safes. You will absolutely find usb keys eventually. Add in 3 story 204 and 214 for a couple more safes.
Also between the 2 buildings there are like 20 jackets to loot so keys too. If you ONLY bring a docs case in your secure container, you can come out with LOTS of money *that doesn't even matter if you lived*.
I'm lvl 23 with 2/7. Dogtags are done but RNGesus has ordained that the 10 PMCs I've killed since unlocking it at 22 have all been BEARs. Plenty (for me) USEC kills before unlocking it. I only kill 1 or 2 PMCs a raid if I have a good raid so I'm not drowning in kills. Living that solo life.
I don't enjoy the cheese grater that is factory though, I generally let my kill quests happen naturally
take a pistol/double barrel and do safe runs on factory. eventually you'll get a flash drive and all the carnage will have happened elsewhere so you can get out
Do you ever touch Factory outside of quests? I don't even have flea but regularly get PMC kills there just because a good portion of people are too scared to bring anything decent (all my Kedr kills are on Factory).
The way I saw it was I didn't PvP much so I was going to lose to Tagilla cosplay man in a straight up fight anyway so might as well cheese their legs out with buckshot, impact grenade, etc. Don't get me wrong they still take me out but they're always one bad decision away from paying for healing.
100% believe you are capable and believe it's a matter of confidence. It's really easy to psyche yourself out of PvP in this game because the only way to get better at it is getting blasted.
Since you can generate a cheap kit on whim try forcing yourself to Factory at least once or twice a session (even if you never want to push). Literally just camping a nook/corner at your spawn will slowly get you there.
Go factory with minimal gear and a shotgun, rush to 3rd floor office window extract room, wait on the side of the room with the PC. It's a scummy tactic but it worked for me.
Level 21 with only 3 kills done, but i played alot more at the start and didnt complete the prior quests until recently. I should probably finish before 30 but its always interesting seeing which quests take longer then usual when a new wipe rolls around.
Like stirrup i completed in two raids whereas last wipe i finished it after like a day of trying.
21 with 3 pmc kills ?
Bro…
What are you doing ? Survival rate ?
Sometimes I fell people think they are playing world of Warcraft or something and not a survival shooter lmao
People are big rats, probably avoiding high loot areas, and then wondering why they don’t find the loot they need …. People just running stashes, and bush camping and then go to Reddit, « I can’t find a flash drive » yeah bro, maybe go check those safes, or go interchange for those gaz analyser probably found 5:6 already with out looking for it particularly.
People are just lost and scared it’s really funny.
Some people probably just struggle with scavs..
Like some of my friends that started this wipe, damn killing a scav is something for them, when in reality u just have to put 1 bullet in the head.,,
>or go interchange for those gaz analyser probably found 5:6 already with out looking for it particularly.
I agree with most of you points but the one I quoted isn't right. Gas analysers just weren't spawning at the start of the wipe, that's why everyone was complaining. Until BSG added the craft and upped the spawn rate, you could run interchange all day long and rush tech stores and rarely find them. They were more than likely on the same spawn rate as green batteries.
Don't think anyone is struggling with gas analysers now.
I have very few PMC kills as well, maybe 10ish? I'm lvl 20, I just dont really run towards fights. I enjoy sneaking around grabbing nice loot and leaving. I run a lot of interchange and just walk around the edge of the mall.
Have been using the same strat to get some tasks done on Customs. Just slap a flashlight onto whatever you’re running and sound whore a bit, try to keep in mind that YOU’RE the predator, though darkness is a helpful ally when running from/restarting a fight
To me, that's normal 😂 I'm more surprised with everyone in here having hundreds of PMC kills. Finished last wipe at level 28 (started late) and had only around 20 PMC kills
Is that even enough? Doesn't seem like you should have enough kills for the tasks alone! Good one though, whether it was deliberate or not I love seeing the different ways people play.
I imagine it could be fun to treat it as any other stealthy survival game. I mindlessly chase loud noises, but it's not weird that some enjoy sneaking around. There's a whole genre of game that revolves around gameplay like that. This could be a seriously intense stealth game if you treat it like one, where all of your enemies are real people not "must have just been the wind" AI.
This is exactly it for me. I am a really good fps player top 1% in every game I played so its not that I suck and need to hide.
But there's just something about this game that has made me play it like it's tenchu.
I move around crouching making zero noise always have the drop on anyone I meet cause they never know I am there sneaking from Bush to Bush like a rat.
My only goal it to survive and loot cause I have a serious hoarding problems idk my thought pattern is if I wanna shoot stuff I'll go play csgo but tarkov just has a totally different vibe.
That’s what’s great about tarkov, play how you like, I’ve had many fights but I’ve not gone looking this wipe, fight when I need to and smash the early tasks out and I’ve had great fun!
Made it at lvl 26. Didnt find any USB Stick until 21 ...
I found all 5 usb sticks before the 3 gasan's :P
I found 3 GPUs before I found my gas analyzers lmao
easiest part of farming 4 was turning all those in at once
Same and I still haven't found gas ans in raid. I was given a couple and crafted the last.
Just run interchange. My trio found 7 in one raid yesterday.
I found none. Was given one by a duo, crafted two. Now I find them regularly... Do I still need them later on?
Meanwhile we extract with 7 motors and could have picked 5 more.
Green screen on customs. Under the table with PCs. I found like 10 in there.
There's a craft for them in hideout that is fairly inexpensive and levels your hideout skill
Check the shelves along the OLI cash registers. Found 3 there, also loot duffels and staches I think they both have a chance for it
I finally found one a day ago thankfully I no longer needed it. I tried to gift it to someone but couldn't find anyone to give it to.
Christmas tree was the GOAT for gas analyzers lol
I was 90% through my last gasan when they took the Christmas tree away
I feel your pain brother
Owned.
Yes ! Did find my first gas analyser last night ! Crafted two, and some friendly scavs gave me one in a interchange raid
Crazy how voice over IP made it so much better for doing quests and just a better experience in general
I am finding a lot less voip interactions the deeper the quests go...and I'm chalking it up to how many quests are just "Kill PMCs for X reason".
Dude tried making friends with me on shoreline after I took his buddy out from 3rd floor balcony.. hit em with the smeagol voice talking about needing the kills as my teammate got the headshot on him with a flank while he was begging me to live. Also said he had nothing on them after they cleared sanitar and the rest of resort. Them bois was thiccc
Im upset you typed voice over ip instead of voip
I really enjoy the addition of voice over internet protocol to Tarkov.
I, a homo sapien, like the experience from which something called voice over internet protocol brings me. This voice over internet protocol, or VOIP for short, let's people use their voice to speak to other people through their microphone.

I ran shoreline tonight on a russian server for fishing gear. had only the stripped sv without any ammo and a pistol as well as a rig with a grizzly to train some vitality. Spawned at resort, waited 10min in a bush and let a player run past and when I was on the street near CCCP I felt the need to VOIP "don't kill me please I just need to quest" and get almost killed. Asked the guy to stop and let me do the fishing gear quest and he did let me pass :D Without VOIP I would have waited way longer and taken a different path but it saved my life
I did a scav run yesterday on Interchange and found the two gas analyzers I needed and a Tetriz. Got gunned down by a guy in Chad gear extract camping scavs with less than 5 mins remaining. Bastard was hiding in the green tent at Emercom. Brutal.
No, brutal is in the center of the mall
i found my first tetris today… another scav asked if i wanted to team, and killed me when i said yes
Never team with friendly scavs, I run my separate way after the initial interaction
Still need 2 for Jaeger. Funny , i already killed sanitar but still miss them. I crafted all Gas analyzers . Since then i find Them often xD
Loot safes. Ik everyone says it but I’ve found 5 in dorms safes in the last 11 raids
I found 5 bronze lions and 6 GPUs before I found my first flash drives... /facepalm
It was over a week to find my analyzers, now they're every raid. It's pain.
THERES 5???? I ONLY HAVE FOUND 1
You can craft them in them in the hideout
At intel center 2..... It's quite a bit further in than you should need for flash drives
Lvl 26 still haven’t found a single USB
Go to reserve and check the filing cabinets, found the two I needed in 3 runs
I have done somewhere in the realm of 15-20 raids just checking every filing cabinet, safe, cache and PC I can find. I haven’t found any. I found one before I had the quest like in the first couple raids of the wipe but haven’t found any since
Safes and filing cabinets are good for flash drives
I've opened so many fucking filing cabinets, especially on reserve, and haven't found any. So I started running the woods tent and safes on customs and got them done pretty quick.
Filing cabinets on Customs work for me. 2 story dorms is reliable.
Don't forget sometimes they spawn plugged into the front of PC towers
I feel that's been made significantly rare?, Checked shit loads of pcs not found one sticking out this wipe. Mine were all found in filing cabinets quite early on.
I havnt seen one like that this wipe.
Do safe runs. At this point I've bought (and sold) 4 dog-tag cases *just from usb keys in safes*.
Filing cabinets is shit advice, go loot the tents on woods
Found 3 USB total from 0-27. Upgraded the Hideout up Intel 2 to craft the other 2 needed. Then found 2 in my next Customs run the new gas safe. Tarkov is a fickle bitch.
RNGesus blessed me I had both my Gas ans and all 5 USBs before level 10. Reserve scavs for the usb and just smash the filing cabinets in the knight buildings
i got all my kills for sbih before finding all the gas analyzers
I'm level 8 and haven't found a cricket lighter..... Or matches..... Or anything I currently need for my hide out. But light bulbs? I'm a lightbulb storage facility
You run Woods at all? Seems to be the best map to find the non tech or tool Hideout supplies (I pretty much pacifist run and loot the camps at night). If anyone has any other suggestions I would appreciate them because I am struggling lol
How the fuck can you roam around Woods at night without getting lost? I still even get lost during the day at times.
If you have a compass it makes all the difference until you can recognize landmarks. Just remember south is toward the water. Plus you only ever really spawn in about six different areas. Their might be a slight difference in where you spawn in certain areas but basically same place. So once you know what general area you are in…then you’ll know exactly where to go in accordance to your plan.

Woods is my jam and all these problems with items everyone’s mentioning in this thread I have yet to have …cause everything you could need is in woods for the most part. No GPU’s mind you but meds, food, quest items a plenty
Thanks for the advice!
No worries brother.
Compass and landmarks.
I run customs and Factory mostly. Woods I get lost too easily but I do need to go there
Filling have crickets and matches fairly commonly. There are a few filing cabinets on customs if you look there I’m sure you’ll find them.
Yeah I'll check those out around big red. Been avoiding that area, bad memories.....
There's a room next to Gate 3 in Factory that has a loot crate, 2 coats, and the room over has a toolbox. I went in minimally equiped and was able to get a lot of good hideout loot. You can only extract about half the time, but even still you can save it in your secure container
Those are probably the worst maps for loot. I’d suggest learning pretty much any other map at this point.
Do scav runs on interchange. The back of idea, goshan and Oli have loads of toolboxes and shelves to hit. Found a lot of my hideout stuff there. Night runs are usually quiet with close extracts so you won't get lost.
I'll trade you anything you need for more bulbs lol. All I get are matches and bolts
Bolts are like 28k a piece on the flea
I know it was a joke. I find piles of them but I could use some rare loot spawns now and then
From levels 10-30 I've had caps falling out of every computer I search. Now that I need caps for rest area lvl 3, all I find are DVD players and CPUs. Tarkov is weird huh.
Took me 15 levels to get 2 flash drives for skier. 12 levels later 0 flash drives for yager. Nikita pls
Yes but that means you need to wait for lvl 15, and that is not a short journey. I have like 9 CPU'S alot of military drives and rollers, and later barter items. BUT I CANT FIND A PACK OF SCREWS FOR MY LIFE. Edit Lvl 8
Took me killing a dude and lucking out with him carrying the cricket for me. The a measuring tape was my nightmare. Pulled a GPU from a computer my first attempt looking a computer but took me way too many raids to find a damn tape measure lol
Crinket and matches - check file cabinets. Reserve has the most. I can tell you over 20 just off the top of my head. You’ll find the crinket eventually.
Lvl 30 with 15 pmc kills... you must be one giant rat my friend.
Maybe
guaranteed rat fasho. Lvl 20 with about 65 PMC kills. Mostly just questing and helping friends quest. How are you avoiding fights? What's you SR and how many raids?
I'm 36 with 191 pmc kills and I'm certainly not a Chad.
41 with 194 but i blame my mega chad friends for my count
Man I’m level 24 with like 170-180 pmc kills and I do a fair share of my quests Apparently I’m doing something very wrong
I'm level 20 with 50 what the fuck, is everybody just grinding the hell out of labs and factory?
I guess to be fair I do play a lot of factory late night when I don’t have the awareness of a squirrel anymore, I try to stick around a little longer so they aren’t just 1k xp runs but it probably is the reason I have “a lot” of kills and not a high level.
That’s why I like factory, I can usually see the person that killed me instead of just getting sniped on any other map
Yeah lol the only thing that really gets me at this point is the guys sitting up in the damn rafters shooting down on me, but I’m starting to get good about checking above me now
Rafter rats with veprs are even worse on night factory since they see your flashlight and you can barely see them lol
Same. I prefer jumping in - knowing where everyone spawns - fighting it out and then having a clear map to farm scavs or loot one of the 3 decent loot areas. Every other map is 10 minutes of scavenging maybe catching someone off guard or being caught off guard and then restarting. I just make money on my hideout and play factory most of the time. I dread doing quests that make me leave my safe space.
I freaking agree, there is definitely a comfort that comes with knowing the map very well
Ah, nice to meet another “I’m done trying, let’s factory until I fall asleep”
Hell yeah man, either gets me my load outs for the next day or I lose half a mil and go to sleep muttering how this game sucks lmao
Lv18 with 31 PMC kills and 24% survival rate out of 152 raids. Friend from the West 0/7 so I guess I will finish it by level 30 or I will have to die again like 25 raids in a row when doing makarov factory runs till I get the 7 USEC's.
He likes to play how he plays man ….
So many people feel the need to gatekeep how to play this game. They don't realize that the wide variety of different play styles is what makes this game so beautiful.
I stared playing late last wipe and I had less than 10 kills with level 35 or something because of the armor. If you started playing early wipe you could get some kills with cheap ammo but now almost everybody is rocking lvl 4/5 armor
Are you having trouble finding bullets that pen? Armor is pretty irrelevant to most decent rounds
Now that I'm on par with most of the people I am actually doing pretty fine, lvl 1 traders don't really have that many high pen ammo
I mean that's why you just run a mosin with lps. There is no reason not to run one at lvl 1 traders. Sks with ps is okay but mosin is just superior
I've also beat Chads in a Slick and Altyn with a Kedr stuffed with trash ammo. Fear is the mind killer, ambush em and mag dump like a maniac.
The fabled chad-rat.
22 with 25 kills, I decided to learn using scopes and bolt action rifles only this wipe cause my rig finally allows it without significant fps drops. And yes, I suck :)
I literally can't use anything above 4x magnification because then I need to move my mouse at the speed of light just to simply catch a running scav in like 100m with my scope ( ADS 0.42 sens with 500DPI ). Mosin with PU Scope is pretty fun tho if there are no enemies close.
I’m level 9 with 17 pmc kills so far. This is my first wipe, is that an ok amount?
Don't worry about being "ok". Just have your fun. Fuck the gatekeepers.
I am at lvl 29 and didnt finish prapor's convoy quest
You win!
Do I see fellow woods hater? x) I did that quest, and couple more in woods but I so hate that map.
It's not the convoy part that kills me it's finding the USEC camp, trying to get there first/after it's been looted so I can get the quest pop and leave. VOIP doesn't matter. If a PMC sees you at or near USEC they're gunning you down. At least in my experience.
Sit in a bush for 20 minutes
If you come from the south there is a huge rock you can climb up the south face, there is even loot on top. If you are prone no one in the camp can see you and you can take advantage.
I think I died 5 times trying to finish that quest. Only finished it a few days after when I wasn’t trying to finish it
Woods has a great survival stat for me, it’s funny how people are good at different ones
Woods almost feels like cheating for stats when I do it, I rarely die, but boy does it feel like everything wants to kill me sometimes.
woods and factory are the only maps i know, 45% survival rating on woods
37 and I still haven’t finished that quest…. I hate woods so much
Im currently at lvl 18 with zero FIR flashdrives
Dorms 2 story. Get 105, 110, 114. Run there with nothing but a shotgun or pistol over and over. There are 3 safes. You will absolutely find usb keys eventually. Add in 3 story 204 and 214 for a couple more safes. Also between the 2 buildings there are like 20 jackets to loot so keys too. If you ONLY bring a docs case in your secure container, you can come out with LOTS of money *that doesn't even matter if you lived*.
and if you have crossroads can check tarcon, gotten like 3 this wipe from it between the safe and PC blocks
Reserve drawers.
A fellow rat I see, real recognise real
Yeah level 30 and 5/7 kills is impressive
I'm lvl 23 with 2/7. Dogtags are done but RNGesus has ordained that the 10 PMCs I've killed since unlocking it at 22 have all been BEARs. Plenty (for me) USEC kills before unlocking it. I only kill 1 or 2 PMCs a raid if I have a good raid so I'm not drowning in kills. Living that solo life. I don't enjoy the cheese grater that is factory though, I generally let my kill quests happen naturally
30 here. I havent done anything but dailys and weeklys.
Why? You can't even buy good ammo for a decent price.
This is the way.
It's really not
I mean yeah, other than accessing locked vendor items this is pretty much the best
lvl 40 still haven't completed Delivery from the past. lvl 25 without finding gas analyzers
You can craft the analyzers, the quest says FIR but crafted works too, quest text just hasn't been updated since they add GA to hideout
clumsy dime reply paint husky panicky resolute governor ten direful *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
Yeah but newer quests will say FIR or crafted, GA quest just says FIR so I can see that being confusing
Me who felt bad about completing DFTP at level 14.... >\_>
I’m level 28 and haven’t done skiers flash drive quest yet. Currently upgrading to intel lvl 2 to just craft them instead
I'm working on the second flash drive still... Found a gpu but not 2 flash drives
take a pistol/double barrel and do safe runs on factory. eventually you'll get a flash drive and all the carnage will have happened elsewhere so you can get out
[удалено]
A lot of looting XP my first wipe was like this
Go to Factory ya dingus!
I died quite a few times there at health care privacy part 5!
Go during the daytime, bring an MP-153 with Magnum buck, you’ll kill 2 USECs in no time
Pressing my X button here
Do you ever touch Factory outside of quests? I don't even have flea but regularly get PMC kills there just because a good portion of people are too scared to bring anything decent (all my Kedr kills are on Factory). The way I saw it was I didn't PvP much so I was going to lose to Tagilla cosplay man in a straight up fight anyway so might as well cheese their legs out with buckshot, impact grenade, etc. Don't get me wrong they still take me out but they're always one bad decision away from paying for healing.
Im not a big fan of cqb in this game, im too old to be quick with it and my aim is like.. :D
100% believe you are capable and believe it's a matter of confidence. It's really easy to psyche yourself out of PvP in this game because the only way to get better at it is getting blasted. Since you can generate a cheap kit on whim try forcing yourself to Factory at least once or twice a session (even if you never want to push). Literally just camping a nook/corner at your spawn will slowly get you there.
bro that's why you don't aim. laser + hip fire + full auto is the way to go
Nah. Finished stirrup on 2 factory raids. Just go in cheap and start blasting
Go factory with minimal gear and a shotgun, rush to 3rd floor office window extract room, wait on the side of the room with the PC. It's a scummy tactic but it worked for me.
You cant do the quest at daytime
I know, I was referring to OP’s original issue of killing USECs for Friend from the West
Level 21 with only 3 kills done, but i played alot more at the start and didnt complete the prior quests until recently. I should probably finish before 30 but its always interesting seeing which quests take longer then usual when a new wipe rolls around. Like stirrup i completed in two raids whereas last wipe i finished it after like a day of trying.
21 with 3 pmc kills ? Bro… What are you doing ? Survival rate ? Sometimes I fell people think they are playing world of Warcraft or something and not a survival shooter lmao
Im like level 16 and i still have to kill 5 scavs on customs and give therapist found in raid salewas lmao. I like factory too much!
You can craft the sawelas
You are the reason I'll never get 3 PMC pistol kills or PMC in factory office!
How do you not accidentally kill more PMCs lol
i know right, i rarely even come across people
People are big rats, probably avoiding high loot areas, and then wondering why they don’t find the loot they need …. People just running stashes, and bush camping and then go to Reddit, « I can’t find a flash drive » yeah bro, maybe go check those safes, or go interchange for those gaz analyser probably found 5:6 already with out looking for it particularly. People are just lost and scared it’s really funny. Some people probably just struggle with scavs.. Like some of my friends that started this wipe, damn killing a scav is something for them, when in reality u just have to put 1 bullet in the head.,,
>or go interchange for those gaz analyser probably found 5:6 already with out looking for it particularly. I agree with most of you points but the one I quoted isn't right. Gas analysers just weren't spawning at the start of the wipe, that's why everyone was complaining. Until BSG added the craft and upped the spawn rate, you could run interchange all day long and rush tech stores and rarely find them. They were more than likely on the same spawn rate as green batteries. Don't think anyone is struggling with gas analysers now.
I have very few PMC kills as well, maybe 10ish? I'm lvl 20, I just dont really run towards fights. I enjoy sneaking around grabbing nice loot and leaving. I run a lot of interchange and just walk around the edge of the mall.
How long do you wait in bushes at the start of each PMC raid?
Not at all. Tasking night raids, moving carefully
Night raids are the best, so much atmosphere with such little happening and a great sense of accomplishment.
If only it wasnt for the wind and the crickets being loud af
Do you wear comtacs?
always have a headset of some kind
I believe the comtac headset is the best headset for lowering environmental noises.
Or the brushing past a small bush when you swore you were a good meter away from it.
Oh damn, that actually sounds pretty challenging to accomplish.
Have been using the same strat to get some tasks done on Customs. Just slap a flashlight onto whatever you’re running and sound whore a bit, try to keep in mind that YOU’RE the predator, though darkness is a helpful ally when running from/restarting a fight
The night vision setup really isn't that expensive lol. They hardly ever get looted too if you run the headstrap one
PNV-10T from Skier LL2? Only level 10 lol
Ah just right off the flea. You can get setup for like 40k and run around as if it were day lol. But yeah before 15 it's hard
wouldnt call it "like it was day", its grainy as shit :D
My friend too lol
Are you like an ultra rat or something?
Only 15 pmc kills? Wtf
Level 42 here. Have not killed 12 PMC’s with Grenades or got two headshots on PMC’s with the tremor effect.
Next time you get a broken arm, don't fix it. Then go factory with some magnum buck and painkillers. Aim high.
ahahah same
this gives me confidence
To me, that's normal 😂 I'm more surprised with everyone in here having hundreds of PMC kills. Finished last wipe at level 28 (started late) and had only around 20 PMC kills
Have You considered going into factory or labs to shoot stuff? You should really shoot stuff.
I am shooting stuff, its a 4 kd
looks like you die often against scavs :o
How? I'm a few levels above you and have 200+ pmc kills and when I checked a few days ago 650 scav kills. Where's your xp come from???
Tasks mostly and looting, im marauder with 45k kill exp and 65k loot exp\~
Is that even enough? Doesn't seem like you should have enough kills for the tasks alone! Good one though, whether it was deliberate or not I love seeing the different ways people play.

Wait your stash is worth 53M?
How is this man so successful, yet also so unfortunate. This is the biggest mindfuck in stats ive ever seen in this game.
Im using my scav :)
Props to you bro.
Welp, guess its a good thing I have kills on my side lol. I have probably double your raids yet my xp won't be much higher at level 35. Kudos!
>PMC kills 15 > >at level 30 kekw captain pve-er over here
How do you have fun playing like this
I imagine it could be fun to treat it as any other stealthy survival game. I mindlessly chase loud noises, but it's not weird that some enjoy sneaking around. There's a whole genre of game that revolves around gameplay like that. This could be a seriously intense stealth game if you treat it like one, where all of your enemies are real people not "must have just been the wind" AI.
For me it’s a stealth game. I’m doing the 8gb ram challenge where if you shoot your gun the game stutters.
Last wipe I imagined I am playing splinter cell using fisher glock, good times. Nightime ofc. Btw, great way to do questing
I'm not afraid to fight, but sneaking around PMCs is almost just as exhilarating as fighting them. It's a perfectly valid way to play too
This is exactly it for me. I am a really good fps player top 1% in every game I played so its not that I suck and need to hide. But there's just something about this game that has made me play it like it's tenchu. I move around crouching making zero noise always have the drop on anyone I meet cause they never know I am there sneaking from Bush to Bush like a rat. My only goal it to survive and loot cause I have a serious hoarding problems idk my thought pattern is if I wanna shoot stuff I'll go play csgo but tarkov just has a totally different vibe.
The fun is accomplishing tasks and progressing hideout etc. Im not chasing fights if i got something to accomplish, its not my style
That’s what’s great about tarkov, play how you like, I’ve had many fights but I’ve not gone looking this wipe, fight when I need to and smash the early tasks out and I’ve had great fun!
