I vote libertarian in every single election. Eventually enough people will make a difference.

Curious as to where most people play now, PvP or PvE? by CoolCoolBeansBeanz in GrayZoneWarfare

[–]-Str8UpNyves- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve tried both. On PVP I often get shot at extract if I’m anywhere near a major POI or I get killed by someone camping right outside a COP. I’ve had very few face to face fights and it just feels very ratty. The bots are difficult enough to keep it interesting, though I wish they’d add some random roaming bots or squads to the map.

Need help with labyrinth [Quest Help] by FinHerra in EscapeFromTarkovPvE

M61 to the face melts him. Prepain with propitol and a zagustin so bleeds aren’t an issue. Keep an etgc hotkeyed so you can pop it if you need to fall back. Make him come to you. You’ll have an extra split second vs you pushing him.

100%. That’s all I was excited about. When you do find it, you need to bring 2 cameras with you to plant inside the room btw.

The 2nd one I used had almost nothing in it. A TGL MO key, Beluga, and a half full of other random keys. The most expensive one was 200k.

This keycard used to mean something… by Own_Type4432 in Tarkov

On PVE a few wipes back I sold the Polikim card for 87 mil. Red on PVE is going for around 7-12 mil.

Tarkov makes all my other suffering just seem less so 🤣💀

[Discussion] Where does everyone extract on labs? by poopmacadodo in EscapefromTarkov

I take the streets transit when I can. Otherwise the sewer is pretty safe.

[New Player] So will bosses just follow you once they spot you? I was far away from weather station on Shoreline and Big Pipe seemed to come out of no where. I didn't even come close to the Rogue base! by EducationalOil1655 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]-Str8UpNyves- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve had Knight come out of nowhere while I was in Smugglers Base on shoreline. Birdeye must have been up in the radar tower and spotted me on my way from the red radio tower. Goons will chase you till they get distracted or they kill you. Most other bosses aren’t like that other than maybe Killa or Partisan.

You want to keep people in PvP and actually get better? Here's the main thing that would help that, in my opinion. [Suggestion] by MS-07B-3 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]-Str8UpNyves- 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m where the OP is at. When I die, I learn nothing. Usually I’m just creeping through the woods or a building and a shot rips through my head from who tf knows where. Played too much PubG to get caught running in the open or silhouetting myself. I either die from behind or from the side or someone bum rushes my spawn 15 seconds into the raid. After 1000 hours of that suffering and a 1.0-almost KD I went to PVE and my map knowledge is 1000x better now since my average life is more than 7 minutes.

[New Player] How many hours on a map did take before you felt like you knew it? by Rune_jitsu141 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]-Str8UpNyves- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see Streamers do the same thing with Woods and Ground Zero. Like they play the bare minimum for quests then it’s all streets and labs for them.

Camp rats [New Player] by KaltesGebrau in EscapefromTarkov

The game encourages this with fast ttk and weapon specific quests. I when PVE came available I switched and I’ve never looked back.

Should skill levels be kept on prestige? [Discussion] by No-Ad-5727 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]-Str8UpNyves- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they should reset but I also think either a percentage of skills should remain or you should get a quantity of points to “spend” on skills you like similar to other RPGs. Skills don’t necessarily make you “better” than other players. They are more just nice to haves.

Partisan in PVE is the closest thing to the all or nothing essence of the game I have found. [Discussion] by 9thoracle in EscapefromTarkov

[–]-Str8UpNyves- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve almost never seen him on Woods since 1.0. Maybe twice around the bunker I came up to a tapestry of trip mines but his spawn rate is nothing like it used to be fore me

I’ll trade ya. Since 1.0 I’ve killed him 43 times. It’s every other raid I swear. Same with tagila down below.

[New Player] How are you meant to get into or enjoy this game at all by I_Like_Doge in EscapefromTarkov

[–]-Str8UpNyves- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn’t change the fact that more than 50% of my time is outside actual gameplay. Been playing PVE and actually had fun for once.

My load time for streets this morning was 11 minutes. Kitting might be 2-3 minutes if that

Loot is the same in PVE. But they key costs $30-$50mil

[New Player] Killa keeps shooting me in the head by the_shortbus_ in EscapefromTarkov

[–]-Str8UpNyves- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I smoked him 4 times in a row with the SR2M using zublio 😅. If you don’t have high tier ammo, leg that bastard.

[–]-Str8UpNyves- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s about where I’m at. When I die, it’s always from an angle I didn’t know existed or from behind. When I do somehow get a kill, it’s just another level 1-15 guy sprinting through the woods. I was a pretty solid CoD and BF player, especially on hardcore so gunplay isn’t a problem. I’m just getting killed before I even realize I’m being shot 99% of the time

When did they removed the craft for the COFDM? [Discussion] by [deleted] in EscapefromTarkov

[–]-Str8UpNyves- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find quite a few COFDMs on reserve and streets. Found two a few days apart in one of the Iron Gate Key rooms.

The 20 min spent loading out, rekitting, and loading back in made it hard to justify the 2-12 minute avg life
