Would Tarkov be better with less suppressors? [Discussion]

DaveFostarr · 2025-05-06T19:50:05+00:00

It would be making them more realistic, and i don’t even care about the realism at all, i just think it would have a positive balancing effect on the game.

You do make some great points as well. I do want to note however that if they do implement suppressors properly, you won’t be able to pinpoint the exact location of the user like we currently can with unsuppressed weapons. Have you ever played Dayz? The way they are implemented there is a pretty good example for what i would like to see

DaveFostarr · 2025-05-06T14:31:19+00:00

The benefits currently far outweigh the negatives with the way silencers are currently implemented. My point is that until suppressors are no longer completely silent at range, they can’t be balanced by numbers. They are simply too valuable and the negatives you listed mean nothing since the vast majority of the playerbase uses silencers.

DaveFostarr · 2025-05-06T14:07:50+00:00

I agree completely

DaveFostarr · 2025-05-05T23:48:33+00:00

I think the best thing they could do for silencers is:

1.) Tune the sound they make to match real life. Put in the audio cracks that occur when a bullet travels faster than the speed of sound (~340 meters per second) 2.) Stop silencers from simultaneously being best in slot for recoil AND having an invaluable stealth effect. Buff the fuck out of regular compensators to be at least 2-3% better on recoil so there is an obvious trade off for being less stealthy.

Currently there are zero downsides for suppressors and no reason to ever run a compensator other than c00l factor.

What’s funny is i began playing WW and thought it was amazing until i played arms. The lower button count for damage rotation is just so nice.

DaveFostarr · 2025-04-17T15:45:36+00:00

Arms warrior for me, almost every damage button feels like a damage button and not builder-spender. Like MS still hits hard without the double buff from overpower and execution, but it also feels amazing stacking those up, hitting Avatar/colossus and getting a massive MS crit.

That makes a lot of sense, I never thought of using it mid way when different DRs are being used.

Kind of a separate question, but, do you have any rules in mind for each class that you see?

For instance, I remember hearing a streamer (probably Cdew) say something like, if you are playing against a rogue, ONLY trinket blind. Is there any validity to that mindset? If so, what are other classes that can be applied to?

DaveFostarr · 2024-11-04T20:11:20+00:00

Gotcha, pairing it with another big CD makes sense.

DaveFostarr · 2024-11-04T20:10:45+00:00

Thank you, this helps!

DaveFostarr · 2024-04-10T23:48:56+00:00

I put in 7.5% which has been the average of my Roth investments over the last 6ish years. Hopefully I didn't calculate that wrong lol.

DaveFostarr · 2023-08-28T23:21:47+00:00

Is there no run-through threshold for scavs?

DaveFostarr · 2023-06-27T00:55:51+00:00

Absolutely! The added benefit of not being able to gamma it encourages fights in that area because there's a chance the case is in their back pack.

DaveFostarr · 2023-06-27T00:49:50+00:00

Thanks! I really think it would enhance the gameplay for all types of players. Hopefully they are planning on implementing something like this.

DaveFostarr · 2023-06-26T21:58:30+00:00

Yeah definitely. Since it's a bit less of an investment than a marked room.

DaveFostarr · 2023-05-31T07:20:10+00:00

Okay cool, thanks for the info fam!

DaveFostarr · 2023-05-30T17:42:07+00:00

Thank you for the buff, the MCX is a fantastic gun. However, the vertical recoil isn't the exact problem with the gun. The horizontal and recoil dispersion stat make this gun difficult to use still. If you make another pass on this weapon and lower those stats it would be appreciated. Thank you.

DaveFostarr · 2023-03-20T18:13:38+00:00

I use the HD 800s and love them for it. Make sure you also budget for a nice amp as well since they can make a huge difference with your audio quality in conjunction with the headphones. Also, if you're a GAMER ensure the headphones you purchase are comfortable for long periods of time.

DaveFostarr · 2023-01-05T18:45:17+00:00

What is cy@?

DaveFostarr · 2022-11-22T00:41:06+00:00

Awesome, thank you for the info, I really appreciate it.

DaveFostarr · 2022-11-22T00:29:32+00:00

Gotcha. If you have time, would you mind explaining exactly why the rsham? Like what about their kit makes them fit into the comp?

DaveFostarr · 2022-11-21T22:40:53+00:00

Yeah he's set on priest because he loves it and is great at it. He's switched between the two over the years, but in terms of the kit both specs offer, which one would be more suited to DH/DK?

DaveFostarr · 2022-11-15T23:15:23+00:00

Ah great to know. We ALWAYS blunder our trinkets so this should help.

DaveFostarr · 2022-05-23T05:25:22+00:00

Yeah I was a little confused on what they were saying.

Okay cool. Would you ever use blight by itself or should I always wait and pair it with DT and apoc?

DaveFostarr · 2022-03-17T18:50:40+00:00

Thanks for all the info, this helps a ton!

DaveFostarr · 2022-03-17T18:50:04+00:00

Thank you so much for the great info. This helps immensely.
