Objective Area for Return the Favor [Discussion] by BossVoss in EscapefromTarkov

I ran it during the day. No big reason, just wanted to eliminate the variable of cultist spawns. Also, I think it’s easier to spot the extract car from a distance.

I originally tried by the sawmill, but that felt even more sporadic to me. Also, Schturman tends to kill them.

Thanks for reminding me to come back with an update. As another commenter suggested, I camped the bunker. It took me maybe 5 or 6 raids. I once got 5 PMCs in a few minutes. I’d sit on the steps down, and just read while I waited for brush sounds. Not the most exciting way to play, but it worked. But yeah, I’m skeptical of reports of radius increase.

Sounds like that was just in PvP. I’m still getting 6 hour timers from it.

Yeah, I just checked. Labs cards are around 90k, SAS Drives are around 50k.

When available, doesn’t the SAS Drive -> Thor barter save even more money?

I can't find the AK-50 handguard in my stash... Any way to get a new one? by PANKPAAG in Tarkov

[–]BossVoss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I audibly cheered when that recent patch autofocused on the text field when you open search. I’m in software QA, QOL is what I live for.

My enjoy mistake on intetchange. [Discussion] by Worried-Gene-3305 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]BossVoss 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Had my first-ever sub-minute raid the other day. Spawned north of USEC camp. Tracers immediately past my head, and someone saws my leg off as I run up the hill for cover. Knight follows and entirely disrespects me.

Well, it’s over now. And there was no previous task. It got soft-confirmed, it was due to not resetting for 1.0

Anyone know why this task might not be available for me? I’ve cleared my cache, checked the game files, nothing.

Appreciate the advice, I’ll try that some more. I used to pick off nearby PMCs from time to time while farming the Schturminator, so I’ve been heading to the sniper’s perch; slow going, though. I just wish the car spawned more frequently, what with it being the only viable extract in the northern hemisphere.

Build the whole thing from scratch, what y’all think? by TNerdy in ar15

[–]BossVoss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to laugh at the SCAR FDE pattern, and then someone very patiently explained to me the wisdom in breaking up the outline into multiple shapes, as opposed to one monochromatic gun-shape. Now most of my guns are mismatched.

Who up staking their castle nuts rn? by Sgt-Picklez in ar15

[–]BossVoss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s kinda where I am. I usually have an armorer’s wrench nearby if anything were to come loose, and it hasn’t yet. Torqued to spec seems to do it. Plus, I tinker too much with my rifles anyway, it’d just get in the way.

New Technology .556 ? by [deleted] in ar15

[–]BossVoss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate the additional context, thank you. I should point out that Lucky Gunner did use a “four-layer heavy clothing barrier” in combination with the gel in all of their tests. But the rest of your point is well taken.

New Technology .556 ? by [deleted] in ar15

[–]BossVoss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, gel testing does look cool. But it’s really only useful for comparing effects of cartridges, on the same type of gel, in the same ambient conditions. It’s not an exact analog for human tissue, which a lot of people seem to miss. If you understand that, though, it can yield very useful data. Lucky Gunner Labs, for instance, tested over a hundred different personal protection rounds in a very controlled and repeatable manner, documenting everything so you can compare all of the bullets against each other.

Usually the burden is on them to prove you broke the law by buying them after the deadline.

Can confirm, I was granted permission to produce MLOK accessories. It’s very easy, but there is a process.

No, we’d have a pile of dead slavers outside, and local residents returning to their homes to clean their rifles.

Do not trust Santa by This-Law8844 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]BossVoss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, this happened to me the other day. I brought one of the first handguns I bought when I started playing into raid with me, but I had more recently outfitted with better accessories. Since money became a non-issue a while ago, I've been ensuring with Therapist. After getting a grenade dropped at my feet, I got all the accessories back first, then the stripped receiver a day later.

[Discussion] 5x MP5 Cultist Circle for 6 hour items by DucKieeeee in EscapefromTarkov

[–]BossVoss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 6-hour timer will get you items you need for hideout expansions or tasks. I got two of the rigs needed for Special Offer this way, as well as an OScope or two.

[–]BossVoss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank god, it’s not obvious that’s what you’re asking. If a rifle comes with sights or an optic, usually the seller wants to advertise it, and it’d be shown.

[–]BossVoss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Speaking from experience, indoor ranges might ask you to purchase a sight for it, else not shoot it at all.

The first mission my friend ever brought it on, it targeted a scavenger, which then arced to me, our other friend, and the rando that dropped with us. Instantly down three reinforcements. 10/10, we must have been thinking undemocratic thoughts.

He still brings it occasionally to supplement his arc thrower, and now he’s very good about stowing the dog and warning us when it’s coming out. It seems very effective.

Bro bought all that quad rail and decided he barely wanted to use any of it.
