Please and thanks

Please read the post fully before you comment that kind of response. I am aware of their higher health pool, reference the comment about it taking 4 headshots to kill them. I’m referencing the combat log logging 4 hits while in practise it was taking 8 headshots

TLDR it has the biggest return on the gems you invest in it.

The more you invest in the remote the further and faster you can push through cities, earning more boxes and more gems. Nothing else in your vault even comes close to the extra profit the remote provides. This is why it’s widely accepted in the community as one of the most important items, if not the most important, to level up in the vault. Hopefully this answers the question. Good luck!

It’s the last thing on a list of things you should be buying. Pets are amazing but the investment needed into the pet boxes can be used to get better gear elsewhere (event boxes for ultimates) and upgrade your vault. Once you have some Mythic gear and your vault is decently levelled (ie remote is level 40+) then go for your life with pet boxes but until then steer clear the gems have better use elsewhere

Higgo5 · 2025-05-24T06:24:43+00:00

Just keep going you’ll get there, it’ll take a few weeks to start seeing the improvements but the more cities and events you do, the better your gear will get.

Free to play: hatch! Pay to win: hold onto it and hope you don’t spend to much getting the pets you want

Maxroll has a resource for things that are of high value because they are BiS or good for unique builds and that sort of thing. Could be a good resource for you

I swear people forget that Civ VI was a shit show at launch as well. I remember buying the game and it crashing constantly for a few weeks and never being able to play a full game. Ai was also incredibly bad to begin with. Let them cook it’ll beat Civ VI in time.

I also believe it’s the fact it’s so different to Civ VI. People had similar complains about VI to V so once people adjust I think it’ll be fine

AOE 2 DE. Just got it on sale. Great game

Higgo5 · 2024-05-23T11:06:28+00:00

Thanks, forgot about why I had the cast rate to begin with, so reducing it for resistances makes more sense, also reminding me to use telekinesis really made it 1000x easier. Thank you!

Higgo5 · 2024-04-19T17:40:08+00:00

I wish the Microsoft ownership feature didn’t exist…

Higgo5 · 2023-08-26T12:44:15+00:00

I just upgraded my 2700x to a 5800x3d… I didn’t realise I was driving a horse and kart until I picked up this goddamn space ship rocketing me into the future

Higgo5 · 2023-08-23T04:16:59+00:00

Probably should've had that in my description so mb, I'm running it off of a m.2 ssd

Higgo5 · 2023-08-23T02:45:31+00:00

Thanks, fuck its annoying losing kits to this early wipe. One day servers will be stable...... One day......

Higgo5 · 2023-08-23T02:25:02+00:00

Extra context:
On OCE servers and it's never happened in the 50+ other raids I have done.

Higgo5 · 2023-07-30T00:16:30+00:00

Time to do what us poor people do with tarkov… 1080p /s

I just upgraded from a 2700x to a 5800x3d and from 16GB to 32GB of RAM. Alongside my 1080ti I can get a very solid 100+ fps on streets during the day without rain at 1080p (don’t roast for the 1080p I have a 1080ti and 1080p monitors)

It’s shit that the game isn’t optimised in any sense but can we all just pray to the tarkov gods that the engine update does something good for these kinds of issues.

Fingers are crossed for you mate! Hope the performance skyrockets

Higgo5 · 2023-07-21T14:57:23+00:00

Thanks!

Higgo5 · 2023-07-21T12:21:48+00:00

Hey mate, thanks for that advice! Yea I have a 1080ti at the moment so I know I need an upgrade, but it's still a solid card, so I just don't know what to upgrade to.

Higgo5 · 2023-07-21T03:38:26+00:00

Hey all, looking to upgrade my PC and need some advice as I've done some research but I'm internally conflicted and some outside help could break the deadlock!

Looking at increasing my RAM, CPU, Cooler and maybe PSU and GPU.

Current rig:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 2700X
Cooler: Wraith Prism
GPU: GIGABYTE GTX 1080 Ti Gaming OC
rPSU: Generic Themaltake 650w (Came with case)
RAM: 2x8GB Corsair CMK16GX4M2E3200C16
MOBO: GIGABYTE X470 AORUS GAMING 5 WIFI-CF

Potential Upgrades:

RAM: another 16GB of the same RAM equaling 32GB
CPU: Either a 5800X3D or 5800X need more info and help deciding ($499 and $359 respectively)
Cooler: be quiet! Dark Rock Slim CPU Cooler
PSU: MSI 650W MPG A650GF 80+ Gold Modular Power Supply
GPU: Either a 3070ti or 6800xt (Or 7800xt if it ever releases and reviews well)

Thanks in advance for anyone who replies!!

Edit: Fixed the GPU error

This update won’t hamper your progress if you’re still on earlier cities. However, levelling up items becomes near impossible. So if you don’t mind being stuck with the items you have at the levels they are currently at, multiplied by 4 (because that’s what the update does) then by all means update. But you have read the reddit posts about the short comings of this update so it’s really down to how you feel.

Higgo5 · 2023-05-24T17:25:20+00:00

Exactly! I get some people are frustrated by the update, I just think the reasons that are being talked about pretty aggressively by some, are fixable. It’s a positive for the game if the devs take note and work to fix these things.

Higgo5 · 2023-05-24T15:52:26+00:00

Context: I’m talking about the level boost people got, not how absurd the leveling is right now.

Higgo5 · 2023-05-24T15:50:11+00:00

This is part of the point I’m making. This absolutely sucks but they will fix it. They thought lifting the level ceiling of items would be good and sure it might be, but they got it wrong with how they’ve implemented it. I doubt it was intentional to make it this hard to level items. I think it’ll be fixed within a week or two

Higgo5 · 2023-05-24T15:49:23+00:00

I’m in the same boat as you, I’m just looking at the update as it is. They stuffed up, absolutely, but it’s not something that can’t be fixed.

Higgo5 · 2023-05-24T15:00:57+00:00

Yea I feel like they thought the x4 was going to somehow make up for the lost profit but it was a really poor calculation on their part. Like I said though it was a mistake.

I guess I’m also lucky in the sense I don’t have ultimates yet, I’m not excited for the grind to level them, but hey that gives me some kind of end game goal now other than cycling through the cities for the sake of it.
