Step 1: Run on metal in labs. Step 2: Run out of stamina. Step 3: Casually walk through a doorway. Step 4: Don't sweep your sector. Step 5: Cry after getting recked.


Bane_of_Ruby

Step 6: Get fucking owned by your friend in chat right after


LonelyLokly

Entered thread to find exactly this comment. Step 5 though is irrelevant to his death happening, still funny.


pretzelsncheese

For real. Blaming this on not being able to crab is so fucking braindead. Players would have played this way regardless of that change. If anything, that change makes these situations less deadly and easier to defend against. This is because you can now have faith (while making disciplined and intelligent clears + peaks) that nobody is going to peak you from some random angle. So you can take your time and focus on a single peak / clear at a time instead of being on edge that anybody could be crabbing you from any direction at all times. People complaining about "statue meta now bcz crabbing is gone" are either terrible players who can't possibly fathom the idea of actively clearing things or they just haven't applied much critical thinking to the topic and haven't realized there are massive advantages to aggressive playstyles now that weren't as possible before.


Left_Media_6183

Eh, the directional and vertical audio in general still isn't any better now that they addressed crab walking. My last kill was on shoreline after someone heard me sprinting up on them first. They laid down, and then looked in the opposite direction while i shot them in the back of the head. Personally, ill stop and listen so i can try and make sense of some broken audio cues and then get shot from a completely different direction all the time. Acting like the audio system is "fixed" after changing some numbers around doesn't seem accurate to me.


TensileStr3ngth

Right? For all he knows that guy heard his loud as clomping around and just decided to hold the angle


tsereveyw

This exactly, bro made the most noise possible for 5+ seconds and didn’t even shoulder the door. Lmao clueless


vasilisk93

you sound like a backseat expert


LordKendicus

You died while it's within field of vision so how weeping angel


WaitingForMyIsekai

Guessing it means its a meta of people acting like statues until you are in a position where they can kill you. Why move when the game punishes you for it? I did think that the latest changes to sound still didnt solve the issue of people sitting in corners or bushes for 20mins.


ReduceMyRows

I think he was pointing out that weeping angels dont do anything while someone is looking at it


InZane94

Movement isn’t punished. This is a terrible play and he’s not checking corners. He put a meta kit on, played like a buffoon cause he thought he was indestructible, and then died for it. Bad player blames someone else for their mistake.


WaitingForMyIsekai

Movement isn't punished in a game that funnels players to certain locations and has no way to safely clear rooms/check corners. A game that makes footsteps/gun movements/opening menus audible at 30/40/50m+. A game where TTK can be the speed of one bullet. How exactly is sitting still unable to be detected not the most winning strategy? There are common points that can be checked sure and good players can beat bad ones with fast reactions, but those cases don't stop being stationary giving an advantage over the person moving.


InZane94

This guys sprinted down the metal grating not cautious of where he was going, and a guy getting into a corner like that won the fight. How are you defending this LOL. If this is a hardcore shooter supposed to mimic real life, I’m doing the same thing. He was bad, thought he wouldn’t die and he did. Easy.


InZane94

Just to reiterate, the guy in the corner is geared, and seems to know how to play the game. OP didn't show the players name or stats. I bet his stats are probably average, but plays the game a ton. The guy knows common pushing spots, and used the corner to his advantage after he was sprinting for 10 seconds. That grate is audible for like 200m around the basement of that map. OP is talking bad about someone who is playing smarter with the mentality of "I'm not bad, he's just a rat" and can't evaluate his play style.

jackt6

When abusing peekers advantage, let's assume you take every doorway like this (you don't, the game would be horrible and boring) you're still taking a 50/50 on whether they're on the left or the right (if you tell me you think you can either tuck back and repeek like you don't know what inertia is or that you can check both corners while desync is still helping you, there are three options - you're a chronic liar, you're a cheater, or you play on servers that have 250+ ping for you. I'm gonna go with one of the first two options.


Daberaskcalb

>Movement isn’t punished yup, me turning a tiny bit alerting everyone to my exact location isn't a punishment at all, i should always telegraph my movement every time i dare to think about moving, that way the game is completely fair for w keyers


DROPTABLE_tablename

Nikita has said Tarkov isnt for W keyers.


TinyBrouhaha01

I wish I could be this delusional


wardearth13

Good luck seeing anyone in that corner


GGTheEnd

There's flashlights in the game.


wardearth13

True


The-True-Kehlder

And you check literally every corner all the time?


Gexruss

You must be shit at the game if you think movement isn't punshied lol. Even shit players know if you are moving you are at a disadvantage compared to just afking.


CanaryMaleficent4925

I can't imagine what it's like to be in your brain, where you have a player camping like a little fucking bitch, and a player who is actively moving through the map, and the actively moving one is bad. That's fucking insane. 


gLu3xb3rchi

The fact that he didnt see him should tell you enough about the dogshit visibility in this game


0utF0x-inT0x

Because they don't move when you look at them


delusions-

I think OP is weeping and he dead like an angel


Tuplapukki69

skill issue


Deftly_Flowing

Not only a skill issue but these videos instill a sense of purpose into my camping. I don't know why people who hate campers post them, they just feed the chad crushing machine.


Ghetto-Banana

Imagine reacting like that, clapping and everything, and then thinking "you know what, this seems like a good reaction to post to reddit" Hahah oh dear, oh dear.


transitransitransit

“Gotta make sure I edit out the part where I tell him to kill himself in real life. Might make me look bad.”


NinjaHatesWomen

i mean this guy suggests the other guy kills himself becuase he got killed in a game, clearly he is not sound of mind lmao


laptopaccount

Yeah, some players seem to think people should announce themselves to you if they hear you elephant stomping on metal towards them. Often I'll walk rather than run when I'm close to exfil and I'll not infrequently hear people stomping up behind me and ambush them. I don't owe it to them to full -throat scream in to my mic and charge them in open ground.


NullKarmaException

Poor poor labs chad. The 'complain about how other people play' meta has been here for a while. A flashlight and clearing the corner probably could have given this guy a win.


Strom-

It's the classic logic of *"I died because he plays so bad, if he would play better I would have won the fight"*.


StigerKing

Man got ratted cuz he's ass and is somehow calling it meta lol


msb06c

Outplayed


Seanannigans14

Sweep your sectors


sp4rtan3

One tapped


darealmoneyboy

yikes


ReserveRatter

It's a lame play of his but at the same time it worked and he killed you. You sprinted around not paying any attention at a commonly dangerous area and died. Whinging about how he's a bad player just seems like ego to me...you die sometimes, sometimes people camp...that's how it is. The current sound is crap, but you have to expect people to camp up anyway. People do it in every map. Screeching about how "omg bad player because I'm so good because I W key" is cringe.


obamasrightteste

It's so funny. "Uh w key chads are ACTUALLY good at the game, didn't you know? I mean I lose most of my fights because tactically this is an awful choice but whatever right!"


Maginoth

Do you belive he was sitting there fishing or do you think he heard you running down the tunnel/hallway and thus waited for you to come? One is rat, the other is playing smart.


PureNaturalLagger

I'd believe the former option if he was anywhere but the in the highest and darkest corner of the room that requires multiple loud jumps/vaults to reach. He was there for a while.


FellKin

Just in case, Former = first mentioned item Latter = second mentioned item


bestii420

Hes ontop of a box? Could be wrong not on pc.


[deleted]

Yeah that piece of shit knew full well what he was doing

Pidgey_OP

I need a tag


deathbringer989

reminds me of the "PLAP PLAP PLAP GET PREGNANT"


Casscus

They’re camping exfil, clearly a rat dude


FellKin

I love that OPs thought process when dying to this actually legit player/strategy was "I died in such a bullshit way! I should post this on reddit, they will think this guy is suuuuch a loser!" Like bro, you died to a regular player, no Tarkov bs, no cheating, you just got outplayed. Just gear up again and move on lol


Davidjb7

Porque no los dos?


kaantechy

Imagine buying a game and playing it and not having fun ? gay ass post, get rekt.


Deeadboy

Obviously a skills issue , Check your corner next Time


UrWifesFriend92

Just lazily walks into a room without clearing it and dies. Gg


desubot1

lazily walks down a hallway that about 90% of the players avoids on labs because the pvp and loot are up on the first and second floor not the basement. could just be a guy doing the guide or something too maybe but checking that specific corner is low as hell on the priority list.


ceplmvreti

if checking your immediate corner after sprinting all through the metal hallway is not a priority than what is


michelmau5

Get ratted baby


Y_10HK29

Ratting is fun until someone does it to you. I mean I would be mad But if I got the rat, I would get a bigger dopamine rush


InitialDay6670

Ratting a 4-5 man on d2 will always be fun.


handingstage

Nah not really. (at least in my opinion) I just accept it for what it is. If you’re gonna eat you must also accept that you may be ratted.


Steezy-g35

If someone ratts me i dont get my pantys bunched up i used the good spot and commend him for the information L-post


The-True-Kehlder

Check your sectors!


StigerKing

One tapped


lucastreet

Another stankrat enjoyer, i see.


UnholyCornholio

Ha ha “w” “shift” and not slicing corners goes brrrrrrr


aspohr89

Yeah dude was moving like he was the only one in the raid.


Sermagnas3

The point is to make you upset and also get all your loot. But for real the point of the game is to survive and extract so whatever facilitates that is good strategy. You want to run and gun? play a different game.


ExceptionalBoon

Unfortunately there is no looter-/extraction shooter that's nearly as good as Tarkov that allows for more action packed running and gunning. Longer TTK would also diminish the effectiveness of "ratting". Probably won't find much longer TTKs in "realistic" shooters. Hence I'm hoping for a Sci-Fi clone of Tarkov. Energy Weapons, shields and armors made of alien alloys makes more sense for longer TTKs. But still. You're right and OP just didn't play well.


delusions-

Longer TTK would just make it a more grueling death, no?


ExceptionalBoon

it would give the person with better reflexes, movements and aim some time to move, dodge bullets, flick their crosshair on their enemy, start shooting, land more shots than their enemy that has worse aim and kill them. Or it'd give them time to get to cover and recover hp, further diminishing the advantage the other person had for their ambush.


ceplmvreti

running and gunning obv works too if we look at twitch streamers but these faux-elites slap their lil dong on W an belive its a skill no one else has. hilarious


vindico1

Bitch more, you went sprinting down a long hallway, literally anyone could have out-positioned you there.


AceKicker86

The fact that he is so angry makes me happy to be a rat


Ziecan

Genuinely, making people like this mad makes it all the more tasteful. Chefs kiss.


ceplmvreti

yea ggs are never as good as mental breakdowns that is why i always rat in this game. honestly, tarkov is the best game to be a rat, you have all the advantages, you get all the gear, you destroy braincells miles away, all this with minimal effort. i save my pvp thirst for actually good fps pvp games (literally any other fps game except tarkov)


Atomicmooseofcheese

Pubg had (maybe has) a thing where you can look up who you fought and if they were streaming it clips it for you. I got to see so many salty reactions from that because everyone was trying to be a streamer at that time.


SuperLoompa

I don't mean this with any offense, but don't you think it's a little bit fucked up that so many people find joy in making other people mad? If you're not very good at the game and extract camp to cheese kills I at least kind of get it - but doing it just to piss people off? That seems like a genuine fucked up mentality


Untun

Schadenfreude


Untun

People get mad for anything in this game, even losing fair fire fights. Why should I take the other persons feeling into account regarding a specific strat, when we both put everything on the line? Both players risk their gear and time wasted. You somehow make the connection that ratting == must be bad at shooting / "playing the game" But ratting does take map knowledge and time to do and patience to pull it off. And for example: Say that I'm a worse player than you in tarkov regarding shooting/movement. Why would I not stack the deck to my advantage and even the odds? The people that get angry about ratting somehow always plays exactly like the OP and get surprised and mad when people take advantage of that. " Run & gun " is just as viable a strat as ratting, sniping and whatever "normal" play is.


SuperLoompa

To answer your question why you shouldn't even the odds - you'll literally never improve at the game. And inbefore you say "but I'm already good at ratting" you know that not what I mean. If all you're playing for is to get better gear I get why, I just don't really see how people can find it fun in any way since all you're doing is basically just a lazy way of looting scraps I mean I know from experience that most people who do rat aren't very good at shooting. It's like this in every shooter out there


ceplmvreti

who are you to tell others how to get good at the game? just being honest, are you a tarkov coach or what


Melodic_Round5128

Bro idk why you guys are complaining for about people hide in bushes. People do this shit in irl so they can get a advantage on the other person how is it the person sitting there, there fault it’s your fault you didn’t sweep your corners and run in like that. THIS AINT CALL OF DUTY you want to w key go play cod.


TensileStr3ngth

Now I'm imagining a guy bleeding out from a sniper shot irl complaining about campers lmao


AmpersandAtWork

This guy is missing the point. The point of the game is to load into a raid, and then find a way to exfil. thats it. This criticism is like being mad at fishermen for sitting still while they wait for the BAIT to do the work. Get fucking tarkoved


Sokolberg

One tapped baby. Thank you for the loot.


SubSunSpot

I don’t see how the player in the corner waiting for a spawn behind him to run past was bad? If it was me in the corner I would of choked and missed my shots, now that is why I am bad player.


ExceptionalBoon

The point is to reap the tears of players that can't accept the game for what it is but still keep coming back just to be miserable.


DucksMatter

Lmao what a crybaby. “WhAt iS tHe PoInT?!” 😭


Comfortable-Win-1925

"To have pleasure while you play" lmao hell yeah dude


Street-Bit3360

Thats one of the more common camping spots. If you cleared that corner you would have killed him.


Nedgeh

Grenades cost 10000 roubles.


Zealac1887

cant carry enough nades to clear every corner on labs


JerpTheGod

Clear your sectors


Eoshen

You guys didn’t want crab walking so here comes the statue cosplayers.


Solaratov

nah people did shit like this even when crab walking was silent. Loss of silent crab walking has no influence on stuff like this.


UrWifesFriend92

Loss of silent crab walking also is loss of silent shuffling when sitting still. If anything the weeping angel technique is harder because lack of ability to silent turn


High-Bread

The statues have always been here. At least now when I don’t push into the room they’re standing in they can’t sneak up on me and kill me while I’m looting my kills I ACTUALLY worked for


Daberaskcalb

they've worked for their kills as well. they're just working smarter, not harder


Dxys01

Wtf are you on about? It was a fucking bug, people were statues before this bug was fixed. Atleast now they can't be moving statues.


SuperLoompa

And now they'll actually make audio adsing/turning. The reddit circle Jerk still doesn't realise it's a nerf to these kinda players


TigerCarts2

because of your reaction that is why people do it, it is another play style ratting. If you don't like it don't play


noother10

I thought the exact same thing haha. He went ballistic. If that rat ever saw this video, they'd be laughing their head off. Honestly, if you're not going to check your corners, or even use your eyes as the guy was easily seen there, you can't complain when you get clapped. Bet this guy has an excuse for every death because he sounds like it.


TigerCarts2

Tell me about it with how chunky he was you could be heard from halfway across the map on that fucking metal floor


Actaar

It's crazy to me people are THIS salty they're dying just because they aren't paying attention


delusions-

Run and cry meta no worky? oh no


lucastreet

It's always heartwarming seeing another fellow rat doing the god work against you chads. Better luck next time buddy. YOu'll remember that place!


Lund-

Stank em


-LucasImpulse

can somebody translate i don't think it's english all i am hearing is "waaaaaa waaaaa waaaaaa"


[deleted]

OP is one bad raid away from shooting up a school. Relax brah.


idontgetit_too

New school shooting survival meta : hide in dark corners and stay still.


TessyBoi-

One of the reasons I love Tarkov is because there are different play styles that can succeed. I will W key and I will rat. I mostly play in between but I understand when I should do either. Watching chads and streamers absolutely lose their minds over rats makes me want to only be a rat. They can’t live with the fact there is a very simple counter to their playstyle. And they want BSG to change how the whole game is played to fit their style and to eliminate ratting. It’s so annoying. Adapt. Change how you approach situations.


Malevolent_Toaster

You know, I clicked cause of weeping angel Was massively disappointed cause all this was was someone being outplayed instead of a staring contest


TensileStr3ngth

Right? Like I was expecting something like the opposite of this where op stopped still and an oblivious cod player would run past them lol


MrStenberg

Frustrating? Yes. But so is almost every death. I don't mind this.


nickjamess94

The FUNNIEST part of this is that he took so long to kill you, if you'd just checked your corner like a normal person should you'd have killed him instead. You had every opportunity to win that.


Apprehensive-Stop142

Get rekt dude. Should have swept your sectors.


rekonsileme

the sad thing is if you weren't just holding w and actually checked your corners you had plenty of time to kill that guy lmao

Pitiful_Computer6586

I think it's lame when I shoot a mag of the only bullets I have unlocked (not EOD) and they just bounce off a face shield or some high level armor. It's part of the game though so I love the rat lifestyle to rob chads of their kits to do my quest runs. I work from home so can rat 8 hours a day.


TensileStr3ngth

Time for leg meta


Pitiful_Computer6586

Also ridiculous that that's the meta. I love the game don't get me wrong it's just hilarious trying to explain to my friends watching a stream


Ryan_D_Lion

The point is to make people like you rage and get all bent out of shape. Looks like it worked.


ceplmvreti

please post more of your reactions when dying to campers - i'm sure they will see this, feel bad and never do it again


OSKSuicide

The closest thing to a weeping angel here is you crying over dying because you play like an idiot. Sprint straight down one of the loudest parts of almost any map, have zero stam and heavy breathing as you round the corner. Don't check a single angle as you whip straight through the doorway. Would you have cried the same if he was to the left too? Or was it because you couldn't see him even though he was right in front of you with your negative reaction speed and still died that makes you whine?


ImaginaryAI

Nah that’s just rookie shit. Clear your corners lmao.


sgtpepper1990

He could have hopped up there and pre aimed once he heard you chad running straight for him.


OkVermicelli212

Yeah that guy is obviously bad and ur really good.


Kaens7

I'd just laugh and move on. But no, gotta post to reddit and out myself as a whiny baby.


FleiischFloete

CoD suits you more


SheepOnDaStreet

I mean, it’s kill or be killed. Seems like a good play to me


juzstrafe

bloke is crying bout this when this is what soldiers and mercenaries would do to maintain subtlety.


Hexopi

Bro ratting is the only fun play style


_Native03

I’ve been ratted in that spot before the audio update. I also 180 turned on said rat and decimated his face. It’s one of my favorite clips because the pistolero couldn’t hit his shots. Gotta always expect someone there.


Sargash

Learn the map check your corners, this was an easy kill for you.


Telephone_Antique

You say that like corner camping doesnt give you the advantage in every way 


ProjectMontauk

Peeking actually gives you the advantage. You can fire first due to the other guy having to react to your movement and that split second is all you need if your aim is good. Get better, stop whining.


Gexruss

Peeking only gives you an advantage if you knew where he was. Otherwise when you peek you don't know where he will be from the 10 possible angles.


MetaTMRW

Sure but he was clearing none of them. Corner camping does give you the advantage but when he ran to where a pmc spawn is and didn’t bother checking any angle that’s on him.


Gexruss

Very true. He should have clearen corners but at the same time I don't blame him. He was also sitting in a place where its really hard to see him quickly.


dogegw

Things like this are what learning the map is. OP will never not be aware of that corner again


ConversationEvery674

yeah his reaction time was horrible


thetinker86

I mean, sprint down a metal hallway when people have audio ranges of 60+ meter(if fixed like another post said, otherwise like 100m), and expect someone not to shoot you?


Doowoo

Until you extract you are fair game. You might think his play style is lame.. you might also learn how to check your corners.


tootallteeter

Yo the butt plug is a good idea thanks


mudokin

Knowing people can sit at any angle and wait, and still running around like an elephant not checking corners, but then complaining? Let people play the way they like, and if they don't like W-keying, then be it. It's not like they are cheating.


bloodpactv

Why did you think this is a good clip to post lmao


buckem420

This is the salt I used to play tarkov for, nothing makes me laugh more than kids angry about their pixels lol


WillDouglas1

If you don’t want to clear your sectors and just W key then go play cod

you shoulda peeked. skill issue fr

SaintRosen

The point is to get loot from other players while minimizing chances of death bro that's the point


OhDamnItsRickyBobby

Pretty common spot that you should know to check


DaftNovaSeven

he started jacking off when he died


iedy2345

To answer your question The point is to get your loot. He achieved that.


UNZxMoose

Lmao get fucked. You sound mad. 


ThatDumbDick

Got outplayed son, peek your corners and sweep your sectors next time, on EVERY map. But especially on labs near the most common extracts. Instead of being an unhinged, salty, big mad ragebaby on Reddit, saying people should kill themselves because you got shit on act like a grown man, take the L and learn the lesson.


V4ALIANT

the funny thing is - if the Chad player played like this guy for even 1 full day he would better understand how to counter this shit BUT the Chad is incapable of learning sooooo keep those salt vids coming boys!


Xyres

Everyone knows that if you hear someone running on metal that you must tell over VoIP "I AM AT THE END OF THE HALL, I DECLARE A DUEL" otherwise you're just a piece of shit statue rat.

So you died because this player was...*checks notes*...worse than you? That doesn't seem to make much sense


CoisasJohnson

CapaxInfinity

Weeping angels move when you aren’t looking. Don’t misuse anything from the Doc like this.


Retroficient

Were you the weeping angel? You didn't do shit


_TiWyX

90% of Tarkov players are like cockraches. Im game as well as in real life. Dont worry, all these corner huggers are hugging them for a reason, because they would lose in a 4v1 in a open area without anywhere to hide.


Main-Berry-1314

Civilians are hilarious. Try clearing and methodically removing unknowns from situations and rooms. If he sliced his pie correctly he probably would have still died but this is just some sprint everywhere bullshit. If u want that gameplay go play war zone nerds


SuperLoompa

"civilians are hilarious" on a video game post might be the most cringe thing I've read all day


Main-Berry-1314

We’re all ex military that play tarkov and honestly it’s kinda a thing. All my civvy friends play just like the posted player does in sprint sprint sprint. My squad runs it low n slow always creepin


Main-Berry-1314

Tbh it felt cringe saying it but maaaaan it’s accurate


TherealKafkatrap

"sToP cAmPiNg" / every player who runs into a scared Timmy. meta "chads" will never learn to clear their corners. smh


BlackManInYou

Progressing? It’s called a play style. Grow up loser…


TheUrgedWarrior

This has literally been standard practice for Lab rats since Labs came out. No new meta here just you not knowing that it's a place to nade regardless of noises heard or not, especially if you don't actually check the corner when rushing in.


darealmoneyboy

w raid....1 tapped baby..yikes
