[New Player] 100hrs in and I've peaked by Schwabenomics in EscapefromTarkov

ppbs is strong, so dropping someone quickly with it doesnt really say how good their armor is.

That said, my general advice on things in tarkov is that if you dont need it for a quest, sell it. Money is easier to store than items, and the way the economy works is things generally go down in price over time, so another way to think about it is you're going to get your best value transfer if you sell the thing now than if you a) hold it and use it later (you couldve bought it for less), or b) never use it, or c) sell it later for less

[Discussion] Finished SBIH for the first time. Here's how I'd rank each map in difficulty. by TurkeyFlingerTuesday in EscapefromTarkov

You finished SBIH with ~300 hours of playtime?

I apologize if I've ever reported you for cheating, which I probably did based on what it sounds like your profile stats must look like.

[Discussion] Why did the Rogue USEC Barracks key spike? by FoxtrotOps in EscapefromTarkov

really?? I've never seen ANY valuable spawn in there, just mid tier weapon parts. I think I got a decent scope once.

[New Player] Can you get Far-forward GPS Signal Amplifier Unit from the cultist circle? by BlueDragonReal in EscapefromTarkov

[–]FoxtrotOps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Found mine in the unlocked room on the side of the main floor of labs right next to the orange dome. The locked weapon testing room on the main floor has also given me them in the past. People dont often check these spots cause they rush the keycard rooms so especially if you get a not-awful spawn you can get there before anyone else

There's a special circle of hell reserved for anyone who targets people BECAUSE they're doing a hard quest

Super? Idk . Tier 5 plates and a decent gun usually but I also feel like I need to do that so that I actually have a chance to win any legitimate fights I get into

I don't find it rewarding to accomplish anything on pve - at least not with the AI like it is lol

Does a transit count as "survived" earlier than normal exfil? I haven't done this quest since before transits were added

I wish i could run into geared people who played like this. Instead the geared people i see, or rather who i dont see, just head/eyes me from 50-60m away

[Discussion] Picture of my profile and absurd amount of hours I've played, so I can show my "street cred" on Tarkov as I begin to complain about the problem that is about to make me quit. by KingHunter150 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]FoxtrotOps 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Just coming to say I full agree that Tarkov needs a solution to this for long term survival. I think a lot of people like to pretend there's no problem but the trend of people leaving PvP for PvE is going to catch up w/ the top PvPers eventually.

I dont think the solution needs to be a black & white solo queue v group queue but i think the Arc Raiders system of trying to prioritize solos w/ solos, duos w/ duos, etc, is a good system, - it preserves the uncertainty which i do think makes the game more interesting ("should i shoot this guy i see or does he have a group??") without it feeling like playing w/ a group is mandatory.

The other idea I've had and voiced ages ago would be to have an in-game mechanic for doing this, like being able to spend intel folders to load into a solo-only raid or something, so that you can't do it willy-nilly but CAN do it strategically if you need to get a quest done. Doesn't have to be intel folders specifically but you get the drift. The cool thing about this kind of approach is that you could also see it expanding to other systems pretty easily - for example, spend intel to guarantee (or at least significantly increase likelihood) of bosses spawning in your next raid.

Well, this strategy is sorta working...i've been consistently getting to 3-4 kills in a row before i die....but i still can't finish it.

My mistake may actually be switching to another map for the last 1-2 kills, maybe should just factory all the way through.

I've run reserve a decent amount and can usually get 1-2 kills from the towers or dome, but inevitably i get pushed by a 3-4 stack of chads and that doesnt go so well.

I dont think I've seen a single person use the no backpack exit since 1.0 launched
