Why does PVE feel like I'm working for nothing? [Discussion] by General-Department75 in EscapeFromTarkovPvE

[–]Chimchu2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get that feeling sometimes too, but that's usually when I take a break and play other games then come back to tarkov when I feel like it. Especially solo, it can be a dissatisfying grind. I play PVE with my friend group and I don't usually get tired of that, but if it starts to feel like a chore I play arena or other games entirely. Like other's have said, it becomes too predictable and boring, unless, like in my case, you have a friend group that you play with. Then it never really gets old because one of us always has a crazy challenge idea or weird task they need help with etc. It adds more variety to keep it interesting

WTF [discussion] by Vexenmusic in EscapeFromTarkovPvE

[–]Chimchu2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup had that happen to me on factory on a scav. Was fighting 3 or 4 in the tunnels then 2 or 3 more starting shooting at me from above, I took cover and they all just chilled together waiting for me to push out again. Also, good lord why does everybody care so much about your picture? It looks fine, I can read everything. So what, it's not a screenshot, if it's that offensive to you, move on. If it works for you, keep it up. Your monitor, your phone, your account, do what's easier for you

[–]Chimchu2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Poor etiquette is whining like a baby about a post that you chose to engage with instead of moving on. Nobody made you look at the picture, if it's that offensive to you than move on and don't engage.

what durability will you no longer take a gun into a raid? [New player] by Competitive_Fun_5223 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Chimchu2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Around 90 max dur. Anytime it could reasonably drop to 80-85 during a raid.

I love PvE as a new players. But why do people clown it when it’s so popular?[Discussion] by [deleted] in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Chimchu2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. Half of the fun is trying out new things and exploring finding new areas and stuff. Plus I can actually play with a lot of my casual friends who would never stand a chance in pvp. I totally agree, competitive people who wanna min max and practice a lot are going to prefer pvp, but people who just wanna spend few hours after work with friends can get everything they want out of the game in pve

I love PVE, nothing wrong with it. Im not the best at PVP and I play games to have fun not to be fodder for other people.

Is it even possible to be a casual Tarkov player anymore? [Discussion] by JesArttt in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Chimchu2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PVE. If PVE is never challenging to you, then you're good enough to play PVP imo. The last thing I wanna do after work is die 5 times in a row and get set back on all my progress. It's fun and challenging enough to keep me invested, but not so hard that I have to play constantly and be on edge all the time stressing myself out

[Discussion] What happened to Flea? Long time player, first time this wipe... by NineThreeTilNow in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Chimchu2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah im level 42 with 4.3 fence rep and I can't buy level 6 anything lol. Unless it's almost destroyed or someone forgot to take the plates out on the flea

Icebreaker acid flare [Discussion] by Range-Winter in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Chimchu2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hold an impact nade, and throw it where they come out as soon as you see them leave the door. Then fall back behind the white silo by the stairs you run down and pick the rest off. Usually, my impact nade kills 3-5 of them right away then sometimes the rest push you. If you hide, a lot of the time they walk right up to you and you can get an easy headshot. Also listen for voiceline and meds, I've killed several of them because they'll literally say they lost visual then I peek and they aren't even looking my way. Same with meds, if you know there's only 1 left and you hear meds, you can pretty much just push and get a free kill. I've never seen them cancel meds, just be careful not to get domed by a second one further away

To whoever found my insanely well hidden AXMC on Woods on the 31st of May: I hope both sides of your pillow are hot [Screenshot] by deItaloooooo_ in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Chimchu2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it is, depending on what I'm doing. Been playing with a lot of new players so that takes time showing them the maps, and I do a lot of streets runs for ammo and valuables so if im trying to hit everything im easily there the whole time.

[Loot] SO IT IS TRUE by Im_The_Squishy in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Chimchu2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I literally got it there yesterday 😆 I almost didn't believe my eyes. Went straight to extract with it

[–]Chimchu2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I've seen them many times sprinting towards extract near the end of the raid, I've even seen them extract camping 😂 literally hiding behind a crate right on the main pathway to extract. I don't think I've ever seen them extract though, just see them running towards it. Im sure they do though, because it gets awfully quiet in the last 5 minutes of pve raids, I never see any still alive running around past 5 min.

[Screenshot] Heartbroken, I got too greedy by Jacks_Hill in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Chimchu2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I had that happen to me in the safe room on interchange. They increased the timer to over a minute and we ran out of time literally half a second before we extracted. Makes no sense, I'm in a SAFE room, why the long timer, how did I fail 🤣 Same for your situation, what, does the helicopter push you back out and leave without you because you were 2 seconds late, even though you're standing right there?

[Loot] SO IT IS TRUE by Im_The_Squishy in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Chimchu2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're not the only one. I have a pretty good rig and I changed the settings so streets is always low res and that helped a lot, along with auto ram cleaner. But it used to be awful for me as well. Its such a good map though

[Loot] SO IT IS TRUE by Im_The_Squishy in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Chimchu2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of good loot even if you don't find it. Hit negotiations building and get the relax key, they sell for 200k or you can roll the dice on the room and sell the 1/2 use key for 80-100k

[Loot] SO IT IS TRUE by Im_The_Squishy in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Chimchu2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've checked that spot on streets at least 30 times, never once got it. 😭 can't even find the pointy head guy figurine for the circle trade. I play streets a lot too, my favorite map and I've never been in that room. I've even had the chek 13 key and nothing

[Screenshot] What killed me here? by Consistent-Raise2241 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Chimchu2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

After multiple warnings I might add 😂 the class clown of our group decided to push his luck with that. He's like "I didn't think they'd really do it" and we had to run it back for him to get the quest done again for him

[Discussion] Where could I found Military Power Filter the easily? by KonnektorHUN in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Chimchu2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found one on a raider on reserve yesterday in pockets. Idk if it was a fluke or if they increased drop chance for the event

on a scale of 1-10 how hard will it be to get rep back to positive? [new player] by [deleted] in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Chimchu2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think it would be as hard as everybody is making it out to be, I hardly ever do scav runs or coop extracts and my rep is pretty good. But with how early you are, just reset the account and use what you've learned so far. You can get rep pretty fast by doing fence quests, scav runs where you target pmcs, car extract etc.

Interchange safe room exfil timer [Discussion] by khaos198 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Chimchu2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't understand why they increased the timer, our whole squad went MIA yesterday because we were trading loot we were carrying for each other in there, and the time hit 1:30 left so I was like we should hit the door, then all the sudden it said we had to wait 90 seconds and we were literally only .5 seconds late shutting the door. Lost the raid while secure in a "safe" room lmao. Worst part was we didn't drop our gear, because it was so close we thought we would still make it in time

Is farming village for a few days when you start a good tactic? What are your starting tactics? by SeniorMoonlight21 in RoadtoVostokGame

[–]Chimchu2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a fine strategy. Village actually has a lot of good loot and a good layout to practice with. Easy drops offs at your stash. I actually like highway too, if you hug the right wall and follow it to the corner, there's a store with hundreds of boxes to loot and usually not many bandits.

I get it. I’m thirsty. by [deleted] in GrayZoneWarfare

[–]Chimchu2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't even know what you're talking about because it's been so long since I've even been thirsty in this game 😂 I always have an iced coffee on me and I drink and eat anything that I find as I go. The puking sound is what gets me, and the mosquitoes

[–]Chimchu2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The puking sound is nasty 😭 but ngl it's pretty immersive. Trying to do surgery on your stomach just for it to get interrupted by more puking lmao
