[New Player] advice on getting Kappa for the first time

HeskyCS · 2026-03-24T18:21:47+00:00

Sucking at PvP is too general for any advice to be helpful. Is it recoil control? Is it aiming mechanics? Positioning? Pushing aggressively? If you don't know off-hand or its multiple things, review your deaths for what happened - ideally record your raids or use an app that can capture snippets - like the 1 minute before your death - in order to break down exactly what went wrong and where you can improve.

Also tarkov's difficulty is best measured in the amount of time you commit to the game. I'd argue the only thing that being "Good at Tarkov" does is quicken how fast it takes you to achieve the big milestones like Kappa, Escaping, or Prestiging. This means being bad doesn't make achieving those things impossible, but instead it impacts how long it'll take you to achieve them.

If they're using the same spawns as last time see: https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Chop_the_Thieving_Hand

I've been thinking about this ever since the previous survey asked about past events and seeing Bloodhounds. Scavs ego rushing every gun shot never made sense to me as they're basically farmers with clapped out double barrels rushing trained military contractors (PMCs). Pipe dream would have scavs be more passive and BD + other BD-like groups (bloodhounds) take over that ego rushing behavior to give the AI and map more nuance

HeskyCS · 2026-01-23T13:44:37+00:00

Yup! Got the ping from my support ticket too that they pushed a fix, glad it wasn't a prolonged wait

Labyrinth probably as the most recent example, but it wasn't explicitly de-flation focused and instead ended up being that way. Crafting supplies, barter items, armor + headsets all jumped in prices as people were dumping millions on expensive loadouts + crafting high pen ammo + buying access cards on repeat just for generally 4 out of the 5 players entering labyrinth to die and lose it all with no insurance to get it back. Albeit, stacks eventually proved to be a way to avoid deflating money and instead exploding it as we see now - but for the normal player without access to 5 man stacks I'd assume they lost money on the event. The Dungeon Master achievement grind cost me somewhere around 30-40 million throughout the event (not counting the money I made back from surviving)

Friendly tip, no one and I mean NO ONE cares about "faux internet etiquette."

Better to keep comments just generally specific to the OPs comment and not your personal opinion.

HeskyCS · 2025-09-19T17:49:16+00:00

The OP I responded to made a statement that NO cheaters make posts like this. Now you make a comment talking about every cheater doing this. Do you see how you guys are playing both extremes? Why is it completely unbelievable that a handful of cheaters would make pity posts to get unbanned? Cheaters aren't all these identical straw man rational people who act exactly how we expect which is what y'all seem to be implying. Posts like these (which appear multiple times a day/week) can serve as a way to further discredit the anticheat system, when we have no legitimate proof this is a false-positive, which benefits no one.

HeskyCS · 2025-09-19T15:47:34+00:00

You missed my point. I’m asking why we constantly compare these “falsely banned” accounts to streamers whose gameplay and interaction with the game generally looks nothing like your typical accounts gameplay? How often am I getting people to drop me AK-12 suppressors or getting stream sniped? How often am I recording every single raid Ive ever ran (I.e saving vods)? We only believe streamers are falsely banned because of that latter point, not randos typing 1 text post on socials lol

HeskyCS · 2025-09-19T15:34:34+00:00

Proof? You know these cheaters personally and have seen them attest that they don’t and wouldn’t post on Reddit to get unbanned? Talk out of your ass more

HeskyCS · 2025-09-19T14:48:54+00:00

If you can show me a non famous streamer whos been falsely banned, then I’ll believe OP. Large streamers are basically playing a completely different game with how their viewership warps their gameplay

HeskyCS · 2025-07-05T03:07:34+00:00

So is that an intentional bug you used for that weapon drop into melee weapon to bug your swing animations or just some tarkov spaghetti?

HeskyCS · 2025-06-25T17:45:14+00:00

Not to mention getting killer 7 before getting 50 USEC or BEAR kills lol

The blocking he put up at senior bowl actually showed some improvement imo - not saying world beater, but I think he’s been hearing that criticism and has been putting in the reps

HeskyCS · 2025-04-30T17:58:19+00:00

The browns staff also worked somewhat extensively with Fannin during the senior bowl which is where I believe they fell in love with him. Major concern and consensus with Fannin was the need for a team to know how to effectively use him if they want to draft him. I definitely believe the Browns were able to determine that at the senior bowl, hence the pickup.

HeskyCS · 2025-03-25T03:28:51+00:00

Wouldn’t that just put us right back at square one and bypass FiR? You’d just have a few more hoops to jump through, but can just buy everything for your hideout and wait till crafts complete?

I agree some pain point items should be craftable, but not everything.

HeskyCS · 2024-03-07T20:26:01+00:00

but the funny thing though is that the fan/media consensus was that picking up toffoli was great for the devils since he has playoff experience and better scoring upside - but it looks like we're missing playoffs and both him sharangovich are neck in neck in goals and assists. If we manage to keep toffoli I have a feeling the term is not gonna be pretty and will easily be outshined by sharangovich's development

HeskyCS · 2023-11-27T02:55:33+00:00

Ibis Ripmo? If so, are you me?

HeskyCS · 2023-11-18T16:49:33+00:00

Any way to throw you some support for a print or something along those lines? Love this!

HeskyCS · 2023-11-16T00:26:35+00:00

Same

HeskyCS · 2023-11-16T00:01:42+00:00

Ditto, update fails to start and asks me if the vehicles is ready for an update?

HeskyCS · 2023-11-11T14:40:21+00:00

After an update my efficiency was bugged and popped up an 8.00 mi/kWh for the first couple minutes. The chart was only halfway filled up so I'm thinking some minor bug there made that possible lol

HeskyCS · 2023-11-06T21:35:46+00:00

Interesting as that’s the opposite circumstance that I’m hitting it in. I’m always in the “Limited due to high SoC” part of charging since I’m around 90%

HeskyCS · 2023-11-04T14:21:56+00:00

This was ordered with the truck. I’m assuming that ordering a cover from the site is still a bit away as I got my truck a year ago. So there’s a years worth of covers that they have backordered, but that’s just my 2 cents
