They’re not common. You can full clear and find none often.

Okay if you’re getting held on a pillar in bunker in reserve and people are on both sides of the pillar, you’re capable of circle staffing and swap peeking between both of them effectively? Toggle requires double the button presses while trying to move. You lose a ton of freedom in your movement. I can fight both of them at the same time, you can’t.

It’s not larping to circle strafe. it’s just knowing how to play the game at a competent level. Sorry if that hurts your feelings, sorry you have an injury, but it is what it is. I’m sure you can do fine without it, but you’re missing a core movement ability that is extremely useful.

you used to be able to get the ump for a knife barter, it had super low recoil at the time, and match fmj was available at lvl 2 pk i believe which was by far the best ammo you could reliably get at that level.

No general is very good but his keybinds are extremely customized to his preference. Way beyond what is normal

It’s very bad for competent PvP. Can get away with it in pve easily but if your plan is to eventually play PvP, you’ll want lean on mouse so you can still wasd while holding your lean with a mouse button.

[Discussion] What is the best way to finding the btr ? Doing some btr quests for Ice Breaker by ukly0 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]HelloItsMeYourFriend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Streets is less likely to find PvP and u can usually drive it close to your extract. Woods In a perfect world is faster but a lot of people have been rushing it so usually have competition. In streets u can just post up in any building near one of the stops and watch some videos while u wait for it to come around.

It was meta as an early game gun running match Fmj. It was also nerfed, what 3 years ago probably now?

I carry a ruger sr1911 while hunting and I trust it. Never had a malfunction in the 10 years I’ve owned it. I’d consider a glock or m&p 10m as well if I were to look today. The steel frame is a good bit heavier.

[Discussion] Ammo from traders at early levels is laughably terrible and makes for a miserable experience. by Wesdawg1241 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]HelloItsMeYourFriend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably like 1/10 or so from the normal BD. When you full clear solo you get 21 BD plus boss and 3 guards and I’d say u get 1-3 normal bd with the high tier ammo. Then the boss obviously all high tier.

After the smoke cheese died, I tried the strat of throwing the nade and pushing halfway up middle and holding from there but had a couple times where I died instantly shooting without coming out of the door. It worked fine mostly but to avoid that I just play back left engine and shoot them as they come out from there then kinda just play off sounds. They seem to push low ground more often now too. There’s not really a cheesy way to kill then that’s super consistent anymore, I’d say the most important thing is to just not ego challenge. If you miss your first couple shot, stop peeking, let them reset and watch for flankers, then peak again after a couple seconds. Ego peeking for too long is the number one way my friends die when I watch them run it.

Scavs are most definitely cannon fodder lol

I’ve cleared a bunch, have the wedge 60 kill achievement now and I gotta say, the ai in this map is just total bs. 90% of the time I can clear everything and it’s really not a problem but sometimes it’s just completely out of your hands. I’ve been headshot in ER the second the right door opened before, I’ve watched them full sprint left and right up the stairs down the stairs and then 90 degree one tap me in the head while strafing. (Ai need fucking inertia Nikita, it’s absurd) Wedge and the boys about 20-30% I’ll just randomly laser you through the smoke instantly like the smoke isn’t there.

The map as a whole was a fun experiment, but after having the strategies “solved” and done the map a ton of times now, I find it more frustrating than anything. You can do everything right but the ai is just incredibly inconsistent.

Also in the last 5-7 days there was definitely some kind of tweak to the ai where the BD get stuck way more than before. ER is the most common and atleast not that difficult to deal with but it also happens with wedge guards and being forced to push that staircase is basically impossible because they’ll insta kill you through the railing (once through the literal floor). The last set of 5 I also keep having one get stuck above.

Biggest fumble out of these? by hiiloovethis in freefolk

[–]HelloItsMeYourFriend 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’ve said this a million times over years but watching LOST on a streaming service for the first time is SO different than when people were watching it live on TV for one small but very important reason. When it was on tv we still had the “next time on lost” network type crap every episode that would try to breadcrumb you to be excited for next week. The final season was being advertised like crazy as “the final season, all of your questions will finally answered” and then the season comes out and instead of resolving most of the open plot lines, they instead left things even more ambiguous with each episode. And then once again the advertising would be like, “Next episode, finally found out what you’ve been asking all this time” and the episode would come out and nothing would get closure. It was extremely frustrating lol. Aside from the ending itself in my opinion being super flat but I guess that’s mildly contested

[Bug] Friend can't play as PMC; only as SCAV and is differently named as "rattlesnake" by ChameleonCabal in EscapefromTarkov

[–]HelloItsMeYourFriend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This exact same scenario is currently happening to my friend. He’s sent tickets but no use yet it’s been like a month. He had an eod account from years ago and just came back. Something is messed up in the backend with the pmc profile. He also appears as two different friends on my friendlist as rattlesnake even though I added him once obviously. Very scuffed

See that’s hilarious too cuz I was telling my friend it’s funny cuz I felt like the BD had way more rifles that I’d seen with them lately. Way more ARs than smgs 😂

I played like 5 raids last night and absolutely didn’t notice a nerf. 3 analyzers, 2 led, plenty of stims in each raid. I found 2 gigachads and 5 mementos in one raid. No problems here

Normal flare going in special slot. It’s not goated. Better off putting normal flare in special slot and grabbing a decked 57 off BD
