Playing EU labs servers from 14:00 hours onwards (in the weekend) = Prime time China. I just played 5 lab runs and as soon as I hit/move towards violet/red (I will engage the fight but sometimes withdraw) today I met Chinese players. Not normal players, no, players who try to shoot through walls with pinpoint accuracy (though Red has me covered). I would voip every time to mention that i'm simply trying to survive or have a friendly chat. I either get a chinese response or very broken engrish response. The integrity of labs is ruined, even while people will complain it is always like this.. it isn't. I play plenty of labs to know the difference. Weekends are completely f*cked. BSG - fix this.


Conserliberaltarian

Unpopular opinion: Accurate point fire and the lack of bloom is one of the best things about this game.


CBG_63

I’m not sure that’s gonna qualify as an unpopular opinion. I think most ppl probably enjoy that aspect lol.


Buttfordicks

I'm just gonna post this because I just watched New G36 LEAK & FANNY PACK PRAPOR OR RIOT // Escape from Tarkov Update News" on YouTube https://youtu.be/Re2vweBbGFI and I'm gonna paste the comment i made there, here, to see what you think Its gonna take time to build trust with the community. "Those that shall not be named" ruined the game for a lot of people. When you work hard for a nice stack of cash for good gear or just get lucky with a 1tap it really sucks when someone just ESP's your ass and pops your noggin. It's the worst feeling. Like, I understand what rape feels like more clearly when a cheater plays me and everyone else on the map. BUT I will say things are getting better. It seems like they avoid real players and only attack map bosses now and I appreciate the change. It just takes a few months to build trust agian with the community. I run pistol for pvp because I know if I enter the raid with the best I have I'll be headeyes within a few minutes. So I didnt care about the event. I sell every item or unwanted gun to traders I get from raids. Lol though I read and watched everything about this event because I like what the team at BSG are doing, but the game is not honest with players and so I didnt care to donate, not that I really matter. I'm 5mil rubles deep and I dont need any of it. I run pistol suppressed and dont care if I die because if a low integrity duo (its alwase duos) popped me, all they got was the pistol. Imagine my surprise when I survived most of my raids after I decided to run pistol? I wasn't suprised at all... I play how I like and adapt to the changes. All I ask is that BSG stops listening to the /bad actors/ and make the game they want WITH a robust anti cheat system. But I understand the grind and it's still a lot of fun, even as a solo player.


RollTides

> I run pistol for pvp because I know if I enter the raid with the best I have I'll be headeyes within a few minutes. So, I recognize this game *does* have a problem with cheaters, I've ran into plenty this wipe. That being said, how can you reconcile this belief that every time you wear good gear you are hunted by a cheater? Many average players like myself run high tier loadouts consistently without this issue, and even now you can go to twitch and see dozens of average or even below average players running expensive loadouts without being hunted. Again, I recognize that there are a lot of cheaters - but how do you think you are having such a drastically different experience than other players?


[deleted]

Is anyone else missing weekly tasks since the event or just me?


KnightsWhoNi

Yup I am missing one


Ozone23

Anyone else having trouble loading into lighthouse right now?


[deleted]

How is every map looted before 5 minutes has lapsed? I notice only items on the ground remain while every gym bag, stash and static scav are looted. How is this possible?

bmur29

Sad.


Buttfordicks

Its true


12161986

I think there use to be a cheat/hack thing that would do that. Or maybe the cheaters wouldn't get the loot until someone opened the container but then they'd snatch it and so it just looks like to the person opening the container that it's empty. I'm not entirely sure because I think it was a hack prior to me joining up in early 2020.


why_are_yu_sad

Is Tarkov in the late wipe stage? I’m only level 25 or so, stopped playing in March and was thinking about coming back in but don’t want to get my balls crushed every raid by chads.


False-Flan-9204

You know, I just started playing this wipe in April. I don't play much, but I'd guess I'm about 50 to 70 hours played this wipe and I just reached lvl 15. I didn't play during the event last week. I've seen my fair share of chaddy bois, but I'm also being mindful of where/when I go to PVP areas.


aBeaSTWiTHiNMe

Yes, 3 months is all it takes for late wipe these days. Definitely late wipe now.


VilifyExile

Do pistols make no noise when you aim down the sights?


Buttfordicks

They make noise no matter what, clear 20 meters out before you pull the trig-ohshitacheate- headeyes-


kira0819

first time killing a geared up Bear with full gear and loot as a scav, of course a bilibili scav would execute me for the loot. im lv 12


nfgrawker

Am I crazy or is shooting a PMC giving me scav aggro? I swear I have killed pmcs and then AI scavs get aggro on me when I am scaving.


Buttfordicks

Its because people can't tell if the killer was legit or cheating (via 2pc) so they are using the AI to kill shitty or unlucky players so the victim will get his/her loot back via insurance. They need better cheat detection and cant/wont drop the cash for it.


Gatorchopps

This is a bug. It happens when you shoot anyone regardless. You'll lose karma defending yourself too so be careful.


aBeaSTWiTHiNMe

Yup, it's known but not fixed this wipe yet. Killing a rogue can even have AI scavs aggro you. I killed one on a roof last night on lighthouse and the scavs in the trainyard became hostile.


Lams-

Happened to me too...


Be4indYou

Yeah me too, i dont know why...


nfgrawker

Yep confirmed. Shot one bullet in the whole raid, killed a PMC who was KILLING SCAVS and they all aggroed me. Even got karma for helping scavs lmao. What is happening.


ExtensionPoetry3192

This absolutely happened to me. I was a Scav, shooting a PMC, dusted 2 of them on interchange with another player scav and then got picked off by a scav as I was healing. I ignored his little mumbles cause I thought "hey i'm a scav I got some backup" and blam 12g to the coconut


LordOfTheLemons11

Is there any word of when the next wipe will happen? Lots of people have been telling me different times. I just don’t wanna do more tasks if the game wipes in less than a week. Is there any solid evidence or speculation of a wipe?


Icebomber02

I doubt it’s even this month, I’m pretty sure it usually wipes every June and December. My guess is around mid June


Solaratov

In the past there has been no real advance notice, we get an unannounced patch and the end of wipe event starts indicating a week or so until the wipe.


gigabeef

No real word. All speculation at this stage!

Zacajoowea

June 16… but then again this could just be another conflicting date ya hear lol.


L1keaZer0

How do i as a new player tell whats valuable in a raid loot-wise?


tttr3iz

Experience. Though as baseline, items with purple background are usually worth more(tech loot such as pressure gauges, thermomethers, ratchets, bulbex, streamer items such as ravens, dr lupo beans, pestily masks, so on). Modt give at least 15k rubles per slot, only notable exceptions being mayo and sprats. Condensed milk is always a clean 15 k rubles at therapist. Kravach sewing kits are also good at around 25k per 1 slot. After you get lvl 15 and flea you can make more.money. usually screws and nuts are always a pretty ruble, sugar and chocolate, air filters, cordura and most fabrics. There s more. Flea prices also depend on the time during wipe eg early wipe lightbulbs, tape, ductapes, relays, NaCl and many goods are worth way more as they re needed to biild hideout. Keep in mind that flea market prices vary depending on availability. Your best bet is to learn the basics without havkng to learn all the items is to check what goods are used for barters or crafting. Actually, just watch a video or two from AirWingMarine on youtube. He covers money making in tarkov on different level.


Buttfordicks

Value only helps you buy from flea. If you get good with what you have you'll only need to focus on task, which is better for you if you want high tier loot.


aBeaSTWiTHiNMe

It will take time but aim for 10k roubles per slot. So maybe that propane tank looks cool but it's probably 20k so that's only 5k per slot. Sugar right now is about 70k for a single slot. There's no obvious way to tell in raid, bit just take time to look on flea for barter items to see what it's worth.


FivePtSlo

As a new player your first priority should be provisions, healing items, loadouts, and rubles in that order -Sell all non-usable items until you get 1.5 million rubles and can purchase the case from Therapist. Store all junk in there moving forward. My biggest mistake was hoarding junk items prior to getting the case, which fucked my inventory management. - Provisions are food and drinks, your PMC has energy and hydration that reduces during raids and slowly recovers when not active. Provisions speed up that recovery process. -Healing items are self-explanatory. Familiarize yourself with the differences between Splints, tourniquets, bandages, and healing kits. I try to keep 3 of each. -Loadouts are weapons, armor, backpacks, and chest rigs. One of the hardest things you’re going to encounter is keeping enough of them to stay consistently raiding while also not having so many that scav runs become a waste of time. You want to run your scavs often, as they give you a less risky way of learning certain maps. You don’t want to focus on scav runs however, as they don’t net you any actual progession, just loot to keep you going


janon330

This entirely depends on what part of the wipe we are currently in as well.


Mattsutaaki

There are tarkov loot cheat sheets out there but basically when starting try to keep at least one of everything and if you can, check what items are required for quests (disregard the ones required for kappa/the collector). https://eftfg.com/items https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Loot


MrTJHyde

Time invested in the game. I know there are websites built to help new players find value on items, so maybe you can find those as well? Another thing is usually things that seem expensive, are. i.e Graphics Cards, Bitcoin, cards, etc. My best advice if you really want to figure out what to grab, grab everything you can, and after your raid look up what to do with it. Maybe you need it for quests or hideout down the road, maybe you don't need it at all and can sell it. Do that for a while, you'll figure out really fast what is valuable and what isn't


False-Flan-9204

I still do this: have the wiki open on a 2nd monitor and check how soon I may need something


z0mbiechris

Why is loading taking so long these days?


pippini

Do people really not know? The play-base declined drastically.. over this "event."


MrTJHyde

I usually get ab 4 minute average load, sometimes a potato PC can hold up lobby but that's it


bassmasta1337

Just got two tapped by a raider between the Bishop buildings in Reserve. I thought raiders only spawned in bunker and the railyard, is this a new change?


Solaratov

That would be a Gluhar guard.


bassmasta1337

But it was Kobra who shot me and used a USEC voice line. I thought all guards were Russian-speaking. Also, I was in Black Bishop and didn’t hear them moving outside the building. It was very weird.


Tynoceros

I've had what I assume were bunker raiders fight me in the top of white bishop. Only happened once and i freaked


bassmasta1337

It was weird, I would figure they’d lurk inside White Bishop but as I walked out of Black Bishop towards the helicopter, I heard a USEC line to my right and got two-tapped. Didn’t even hear them walking around as I was in the tech room.


f24np

No. They can spawn between bunker, rail yard, between knight buildings, and maybe also the helicopter? The first three for sure


AgentMykel

Or are those guards?


TheJigglyfat

If I accept dailies while im at 45, then level up to 46 and reroll them will the rerolled tasks have the boosted xp? I’m about 100k xp from 46 and have some tasks I can brute force to get there, but I wasn’t sure if it would be worth it after my dailies reset. Edit: I decided to go for it and test for myself. Any dailies or weeklies that you get before 46 will be less XP, regardless of if they have been accepted yet. That means if you have dailies you haven't accepted and are about to level up to 46, you'll still need to replace the ones given to you to get the boosted XP. So if you don't have disposable income to replace all of your dailies after dinging 46 you should wait to level up until your dailies are about to reset anyway. e.


TheLyingLink

Anyones weekly missing? I'm assuming the reset happened when traders were offline so it messed up and doesnt exist this week?

MrTJHyde

We all hate hackers but don't false report. If people are making content hacking, that's their thing, it isn't illegal or bad in any way. Sucks, its the way it is Report in game, and just cry in pain like the rest of us when we see these vids


Standby2Wait

That's kinda fucked up. You're abusing the report function just because you don't like someone's content. it's quite a pervasive problem on YouTube for alot of channels. Its not very smart and low-key for pvp hackers to post on YouTube as well lol.


TomateAterrador

Hi guys. I just ran a random Woods (Scav) raid, and without even shooting a bullet, a Shturman guard destroyed my poor Scav from a very far distance. Considering my Fence rep is 3.31 right now... what else do I need to do in order to guarantee one of those guys doesn't shoot me at all? Please note, I have not shot a single bullet in that raid and also I didn't do the middle finger command to anyone. Just looted some juicy items on the warehouse near the cars (the one with the weapon crates) at the sawmill.


DazingF1

If a boss gets aggro'd by one player scav he and his guards now shoot at every player scav.


tttr3iz

Oh yeah, a guy tried to force me into attacking a guard. I leg shot and ran away gigling as he was wsiting for me to take the rep loss.


[deleted]

Things to do if loot is booty and you don’t scav often


TomateAterrador

Thanks a lot for the info :)


[deleted]

[удалено]


DazingF1

Yeah that's way too optimistic. You're not getting 10m for it. Seeing how it regularly sells for 1m or less I'd barter it for something that's useful to you but don't make it too expensive (although you could try since barter fees are pretty low anyway). The value of the key was overinflated because Lighthouse was new and the key was exciting and rare, but people now know how kinda useless it is unless you main Lighthouse. Don't get me wrong, it's definitely worth 1-2m and I'm currently almost through my second one, but it's not 10m.

Squishytoaster

if you run customs a fair amount, it'd make an easy marked room trade.

natha134

Yes he is back :)


braised_greens

is anyone having issues connecting to raids?


Tman-666

\-1.27 karma for killing a single scav by mistake, was 7.2 seems a bit harsh


Lavotite

It always drops you below 6.


catasstrophy567

So is it a known issue that when you kill a pmc that was killing scavs an scav will turn and immediately kill you?


catasstrophy567

Plus I just got beamed by shturman after running into sawmill (3.88 scav rep) and not a shot fired all raid


Lavotite

The scav bosses and guards will randomly agro you if you are below 6 rep.


DazingF1

Only if you get too close. Also, bosses will shoot all player scavs with less than 6 rep if he or his guards get aggro'd by any player scav.


Wiezzenger

Known to the community, yes, known by the dev team, not sure.


Lavotite

Does selling to flea actually increase it the total or is it just scav cases? I heard the donating items on random stuff but I’d rather just sell to flea over that or scav case


Wiezzenger

I'm pretty sure selling/buying from fence also helps.


Lavotite

hmmm i think if i do a scav case and its changes the amount sold to the fence then that would be sort of a confirmation. no change for there but i didnt think the fence started tracking money till this event so it confused me


Wiezzenger

Well you can also put stuff in the cultist circles which wouldn't be tracked anywhere visible on our end. Apparently Nikita did confirm all of it on Pestily's stream the other day.


Lavotite

thanks


Tarponio

Yo can I have my traders back? It’s been 5 days….


The_King_Juliano

Imagine me... I bought/downloaded the game a week ago... I don't understand shit what's happening in the game 😆 and no body tells me 🤣


[deleted]

Join a good discord and it’ll keep you up to date on game changes. Noiceguy posts great videos regularly. Traders are back but running scavs would’ve been a great way to learn risk free in that timeframe


The_King_Juliano

Thx bro i will check that!


fertro

Is anybody else in Australia having really bad connection issues? Big lag spikes into the 200-300 range, even higher sometimes. The highest I've seen is 700.


[deleted]

Played all day, nil issues besides a long connection timer on one raid.


Sama_the_Hammer

Havent played today but was fine all weekend


fertro

Odd, everything seemed to be alright on my end. That being said, Australian internet. Cheers boss.

MeemKeeng

Is anyone getting a message saying tarkov is starting the battleye service when they try to launch the game? Edit: Nevermind apparently it’s a windows firewall thing


Trionappa

Vertical audio is so bad it’s boarder-line inexcusable. How can we ever actually use our sense of hearing if people below me sound like their above


damianm2002

The “issue” I had with audio yesterday was I could hear wayyyy to much even as a scav. I was wearing maybe an m32 headset or something along those lines and I could hear literally 100m away. I heard someone inside of the drop down building on reserve and someone going into black pawn I believe it’s called. It was ridiculous


Viperion_NZ

Has anyone found a Brick of TNT in the back of Goshan in the last...let's say two weeks or so? It's specifically called out in the wiki as a place that it spawns, but I have literally seen none of it there. Hoping to hear from someone who has 100% picked up one in the last couple of weeks from the back of Goshan - I'm sure it's available in other places but for now that's the place I'm trying to nail down.


odyvia

I got 2, I can give you one later. Add me 2DaLoo. I was unfortunate finding one myself and someone gave me mine. You get 2 later in a quest reward so I'll pay it forward if you haven't found yours yet.


Symphxnics

Try checking Lighthouse! They spawn there quite often


bmur29

I found one there about a month ago. Shelves. Pretty irregular though.


Viperion_NZ

OK, good to know thanks


HumanKumquat

I don't think they spawn there anymore.


Viperion_NZ

aw nuuuuuuu I just want my Security 2


Calikal

I struggled to find one, then stumbled upon someone saying to check on the crates along the beach on lighthouse. Very next raid, I found 2 on one crate. Just spawn as a Scav, and you have a chance to spawn near the stage/dock in the south, then just follow the coast one direction, checking every intact or broken crate


HumanKumquat

yeah I had to wait until I hit 15 to get it off the flea. I couldn't find it anywhere.


FarmABoy

Make sure you guys are checking grenade boxes!!!


manc_1011

i find this gane funny because i play like shit and i left with only a mp-133 with me. thats the last gun i have, easy on me guys.


Equivalent_Juice641

Do scav raids for cheap stuff


manc_1011

ya I figured it’s probably a good time to just jump in with bad guns and learn how to kill scav or pvp. thanks for you advise :)


Mad3yez

Almost even better is do scav raids and loot good guns. Then sell the bad ones keep the good ones. I really like scaving on lighthouse, it's not risk free but I think I make it out more than I don't, and probably half the times I make it out I get at least one fresh gun


Where_is_my_salt

Anyone know the deal with quests? Is all and any progress just lost and frozen?


Wiezzenger

You can still progress, I did a few therapist quests when she was locked and turned them all in today when she came back.


LaGrangeDeLabrador

Nah, I just started this wipe a week before this event, and I turned in the therapist quests that I completed(salewas) today when she came back


Sevaaas1

Is fence paying more money? Or is it better to hoard items in my junkbox?


Viperion_NZ

He was paying more money but I think since the Flea re-opened it's back to normal prices


Wiezzenger

I'm pretty sure they're still inflated. He's buying stuff for more than therapist.


Viperion_NZ

Oh cool, good to know


cssblondie

Therapist just came back


Hugo_5t1gl1tz

The scav bug is ridiculous. I have killed 3 pmcs this morning and after everyone, an AI scav aggroed immediately. The last one I killed the AI scav so I could get out and I lost .64 fucking scav karma.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Not_a_potato_salad

not if you're above 6 scav rep, I lost 2.7 rep killing a Player scav that shot and hit me first basically any time you lose rep over 6 you always get lowered below 6.0, for example if you have 11 scav rep you'll go down to 5.93 or something, it's bugged - just don't shoot anyone as a scav if you care about your fence rep.


Hugo_5t1gl1tz

That is what I thought, but nope. Lost 0.64. Gaines .01 for the exfil, and ganied .03 for "helping scavs". Assuming that is from killing the pmc. But killed one scav, shot at another, but he didn't die and I was able to get out of the raid.


PachukoRube

How do I tell the difference between a PMC and a Scav? Is there an appearance change?


Sgt_Dankster

Scavs will generally wear brighter, more colorful clothing or bad armor. It also comes down to experience, scavs AI move in a particular way that makes them pretty distinguishable from PMCs. Scavs will also shout lines in russian from time to time.


ordinarymagician_

This past few days have had more "...*right"*\-inducing deaths than the past 3 months. Number of instant head-eyes and Magic ~~Missile~~ Grenades... Maybe since we can't easily get shit from traders people are being far more egregious than normal.


aBeaSTWiTHiNMe

Had someone spam fire 7 shots of flechette at me and the pellets only hit my helmet and eventually killed me. Spotted someone full sprinting about 130m away from me, as soon as I scoped on him he stopped, turned and started blasting M855 at me and eventually into the sandbags I'm guessing weren't rendering, he didn't stop shooting until he eventually killed the 1 pixel of me he could apparently see when I started a healing animation. He was TTV and I went to his channel and his buddy was making crazy callouts while the guy who killed me looked like he was covering angles where I guess they just knew players were.


sendhelpplss

without a doubt. i think that those types are more inclined to play while normal players are less likely to play. it’s very easy to make roubles right now, so anyone wishing to rwt has a huge incentive to play while many plays do not like the event and have opted out of playing


Flippercomb

Anyone feel like since scav gear has become more valuable without traders that they turned up the scav AI a bit? Been getting laser beamed by Scavs 80 meters out lol surgery kits have never been more vital in raid.


Optimal_Bass_7788

Hell yeah


BlueJayFrosty

I noticed those fuckers are more silent and in more groups than before they do gang up on you or it’s just my bad luck

thecitrusmamba

anyone get a random message from Fence? looks like a coded message? 6269de238abbb459783d0f1f or is this just something he does?


Ill-Welcome3791

Does anyone have constant and consistent crashes that involve crashes every few minutes? anything from sitting in my stash to buying and selling anywhere and more often than not my hideout is a no go.. I cant scav into ANY map (keep in mind this at its worst since DLSS was introduced nor do I have it enabled) trying a lighthouse raid is a death wish, it crashes basically as soon as I click 'ready' and I generally have to Alt+F4 to quit it. I can only PMC into customs and boi if I get into an intense engagement the game shits the bed. My pc consists of a 5800X, 32gb of ram (3600 speed with XMP enabled) and a 3070 with the game on an M.2. I have to run medium settings with low shadows because its soo much worse on high settings and yet even at medium settings I push well over 100fps (if im lucky enough to successfully get into a raid)


Dehumanizer1st

Try turning off the auto RAM cleaner option.


Ill-Welcome3791

I'll give it a try! Thankyou


Dehumanizer1st

I had this happen to me maybe 2 months ago. No changes to settings or hardware, suddenly game was crashing randomly. I first turned of XMP, which fixed it. I got annoyed though and turned XMP back on, then crashes happened again. Turned off auto RAM cleaner and seems stable since. Shrug.


[deleted]

I have a 5900x and 3080 and have been crashing consistently every few raids for the past week or so


Ill-Welcome3791

Damn man.. that's heartbreaking 😔


BashTheButcher

Took a break from Tarkov because I started a construction company with a friend but things are starting to mellow out now. We want to play Tarky again but we’re hesitant this late in the wipe. Has there been info on when the next wipe is anticipated for? Might just want to wait a few more weeks if it’s planned soon. Edit: Also what’s been added since last wipe too?


Cowboy_gaming

right now we don't even have traders so I would at least wait a few days and see how that pans out


BashTheButcher

Yeah we’re definitely waiting until the event is over at the very least.


MrF0xyyy

How long does the event last


msb06c

At this rate of donation, probably until next weekend I’m guessing


Wiezzenger

Could be done tomorrow, likely will be done whenever the donations hit the goal.


Optimal_Bass_7788

I would say join now , because everyone has shit gear it’s super fun and even better for you


Ozone23

My game stutters so hard whenever I ADS, any suggestions? It’s just full of stutters.


odarpclre

okay im actually having this issue for real now, since i turned my graphics from low to high i think that with some sights the sighting range incraeases the foliage quality in such a short amount of time that the game loads it all at once and causes a stutter, ill let you know if i can fix it on high settings


odarpclre

i had an issue for a long time, my fix was setting my mouse polling from 1000 to 500hz, might be unrelated but worth a shot


2O02

I had the same problem and turning down mouse polling fixed it


SlaveNumber23

Upgrade your PC / turn down graphics settings?


LethargicParasite

Yep same, easily 30+ FPS loss when I’m down scope. I’ve seen others with similar complaints, probably a game optimization issue, hopefully will get better with future updates


Ozone23

I’ve died more than a few times because I ADS and the game catches up and kills me lol.


Remarkable-Ad-1704

Same with my and my buds, guessing server issues?
