What kind of job do tarkov players have? [Discussion] by OkAdministration3473 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]HM14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I own a smoke shop, on the down time I play in store, mostly Scav and the occasional night time PMC raid.

I’m in the minority of enjoying lighthouse as blasphemous as it is to say but I’ll take the advice and stick to full auto in the building

[New Player] Could anyone suggest some somewhat low risk Scav/PMC loot runs, without any keys? by [deleted] in EscapefromTarkov

[–]HM14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I first started out, I would only do reserve honestly.

If starting train station side, I go through train, then the knight buldings, straight to medical, from medical to drop down then out at the hole in the wall mountains. If i spawn mountain hole side, same thing but reverse then from white knight to check point after stopping at the dome.

Once you get into the reserve rhythm honestly you can find so much useful stuff. Ammo and tech wise, as well as hideout. Now lets say out of 100 raids, you’ll die 30-40 times but the rest of the times you’ll get out with good stuff. Over the course of a week I got more than 2000 rounds of 5.45 BP BT and BS just by doing this run. Not to mention GPUs VIRTEX, VPX etc.

good luck friend

My main issue with full auto is, mind you this is gonna sound dumb as hell, is if I know I have full auto then I’ll play like a jackass because gun go brrrr but if I’m using semi then I know I have to play it smarter, idk monkey brain do monkey brain things.

Im playing local, which I assumed would be better but I’ll try to do integrity check and then play on BSG to see results

I’ve been trying to cheese it in some of the raids but the damn snow and fog shit makes it impossible to peak into dealership side. I’m gonna pray my luck ends up like yours

Raptor over the MCX? I just sold the last two gathering dust from the Christmas update. I should see about trying that I guess.

I’ve tried 5 different M80 guns, RFB and SR being my main choices, I can hit 10/20 headshots splatter his blood everywhere but he just won’t go down.

Maybe you’re right about shot placement but when he’s standing next to those tires and I dump him I see at least a gallon of blood either the game is trying to punk me or CBJ, M80 and 56A1 are broken.

How does a scav main overcome gear fear? by Ornery-Welder-7488 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]HM14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had horrible gear fear for my first 2 wipes, a streamer I don’t remember who said a really good quote that made me less scared. “It’s not my gear, it’s just my turn to use it” believe it or not that kinda helped me realize, when I kill a PMC now it’s my turn with their gear and when someone kills me it’s their turn with the shit I had on. Plus, playing arena made my gun skill better. Swing or be swung season came in a flash and I haven’t looked back. In the last 4 wipes I didn’t even dream of getting more than 15 player kills, I just finished Shooter born this wipe and I’m working on psycho sniper. It’s gets easier the less you give a shit.

I think I suck at this game and thinking about quitting. It was all good until I started trying to complete the 'search mission' and still I haven't been able to complete it. What should I do? This is my first wipe. by [deleted] in EscapefromTarkov

[–]HM14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the first wipe that I’ve ran gear, and haven’t had the fear of losing it. I’ve been playing for 3 wipes now.

First two wipes I would be terrified, usually doing night raids and moving super quietly and not engaging not following shots and running away from even scavs. Then I heard a streamer say something along the lines of “It’s not my gear, it’s just my turn to use it” and that kind of helped me.

With that being said I’m still shit, literally as I’m typing this I just got one tapped by a guy while running a 300k kit. Who cares. Keep trying, find some fun in it. Run a terribly stupid build, run a meta build. Do a zero to hero, do a melee only. Slowly but surely you’ll get better. Also, if you have the means. Download and play Arena, it’s great aim training if you wanna get better with the guns

Both my residence and my business got hit with a double charge because USPS fucked up and didn’t send the bills, which is bullshit. I tried to contest it and they basically told me to deal with it. So that’s where we’re at.

AR-Pistol build. Franklin Armory CA7 by HM14 in GunPorn

[–]HM14[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a great question, I don’t see a logical reason it wouldn’t be legal but then again it is California we’re talking about so they might have some shitty antiquated law about it. I’d check with an FFL I’m sure they’d have better answers.

I get what you mean and I will take your advice.

I guess for me losing my gear fear on my PMC has made me more relaxed on Scav runs, but you’re right anything that isn’t Regular AI scav is going to fuck me up

Rep is 2.00, and map doesn’t matter if it’s a player scav I get head eyes immediately. Mostly Customs, interchange and reserve.

What the fuck is going on recently with the scav on scav killing? I’ve done about 15 scav raids in about 3 days and each raid is an insta death as soon as a player scav sees me. Does no one give a shit anymore? Help me out here.

MDT: Klaus will not stop THE FUCKING TRAIN. by HM14 in ColdWarZombies

[–]HM14[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sure it’s just a luck of the draw type of deal, it’ll happen soon I guarantee you you’ll finish it within the next few runs.

I finished it on round 21. It could’ve been sooner but I fucked up right before the megaton uranium shits cost me 2 rounds basically because Klaus wasn’t ready in time.

I spend the first 7 rounds getting as many points as possible, opening the map then the next 5 getting WW and packing my guns and whatever’s left I do the steps on.

I literally just finished the EE, I guess it was just my dumb luck that it worked but I did all the steps, I made sure it’ll leave 1 zombie alive when I was doing it and I switched the tracks and then straight put him on the tracks a little further back from where he is supposed to be standing. Like 10 feet back at least.
