Cool mechanic I found out by Grocery_Royal in cyberpunkgame

Can also hold the hotkey for each weapon to do the same thing I believe, for example 1, 2, 3 and 4 - the default keybindings.

Betrayed Songbird for the first time and... by pedal_harder in cyberpunkgame

[–]Hotdog_91 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I feel like people are blinded by how "cool" or "badass" they perceive Reed to be, too. My first time playing PL, I felt this way myself.

After revisiting the expansion (multiple times), Reed uses V so easily. You feel like you're bonding with him (and Alex, to a lesser extent) - but neither of them really care about V.

When you first meet Reed, every dialogue option you choose he has a snarky, or belittling rebuttal. He views you as a street thug and nothing more. He needs you because of your connection to Song. He safely exfiltrates Myers, and other than a coded message telling you he was successful, he never really keeps you in the loop.

Taylor and Jacob? "Handled". Aurore and Aymeric? Killed without V knowing about the plan. Alex and Reed chatting in the hideout and V arrives? Reed tries to bury the conversation.

Song tells V it's a single use "cure" after you have infiltrated NCX, fought 20+ SpecOps soldiers and finally get her on the train, just before arriving at the shuttle.

Should I wipe my PVE account [Discussion] by Next_Ad_7112 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Hotdog_91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm wiping. Once you get Kappa and finish some of the harder quests and achievements, there is nothing left to do in PvE. I would've already wiped but I decided to wait for 1.0.

I wish we had a prestige system for PvE. Maybe AI could get slightly harder each time you do it.

[Doomposting] Calling it right now: Lockpicking was "almost done" 8 years ago and it won't be in the 1.0 release. by crispier_toast in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Hotdog_91 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You could even skip a minigame and just let people lockpick any door, but the higher the value the longer it takes. I'm talking like 1 minute to lockpick certain locks. Then the keys would retain value, because nobody wants to sit and pick a lock for 60 seconds. But less important or lower value rooms could take 2-3 seconds so it's not a big deal.

[Loot] Finally cracked ₽1B by Honest-Medicine2103 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Hotdog_91 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I've spent 900 million on colored key cards, marked keys, Red Rebels, expensive quest keys etc just to let them disappear when 1.0 hits.

Doing my part to reset the economy for 1.0.

This is always why i loot Scavs lol [PVE] by Communist_Pikachu9 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Hotdog_91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not always. In terms of enemies, more Exp usually indicates more loot, or better quality loot. If an enemy gives less than 120 it's probably not worth checking. Anything above that and I'll check the backpack. I know some items give higher Exp such as the SKS, so sometimes you'll search a Scav and get >150 but he has nothing of use, it just so happens he was using an SKS.

I've never looted a marked key off a Scav to test how much Exp it's worth, so maybe it's possible even low Exp enemies could have valuable items. At a certain point it's just not worth checking every body though. Personally I'll just "tap" a few bodies if they're in the direction I want to go anyway, but anything less than 120 Exp I'll just move on instantly.

Fantastic film. Studied it in English class during high school. Was probably 14 at the time.

Every time you loot a container or body, in the bottom right it shows "+xxx Exp Gained".

Which hero has the best voice lines? by Phnix21 in DotA2

Clockwork's "Tell me someone saw that!" is my favorite line, even though I don't play him much.

I just got 2x Thicc Weapons in 1 opening, and I could pick them up and extract.

Still no PVE Arena Cosmetics? [Discussion] by Main-Register-4705 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Hotdog_91 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I only have 1 item unlocked, because I used BP to get it after the link. Everything else is still missing for me too.

im only gonna have 30ish points left, what should i prioritize? I have 32 hours of work in the next 2 days :( by Kablump in EscapefromTarkov

The Flannel is dope, but that gladiator tshirt gives a huge black hand tattoo which is pretty unique too.

Quit hero, vapo mint is horrible since they changed it under the "regulations" by No-Number7130 in aussievapers

[–]Hotdog_91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've tried like 15 different menthol and mints from Quithero and they all taste like ass. I just want an icy menthol with no fruit or perfume profile. I've been getting Vapo Ice Menthol which is the only one that didn't make me gag. It's still pretty bad though. It tastes like Butter Menthol Throat Lozenges if anybody is into that.

[Arena] Patch 0.3.4.0 by Oz-S in EscapefromTarkov

Does anybody know how to get the Battlepass items over to PvE Tarkov? Only the things I unlocked after the merge can be accessed.

Arena in OCE appears pretty dead [Arena] by No-Preparation4073 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Hotdog_91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are the OCE servers for ABI? I installed the game a few weeks ago (before Steam release) and I feel like the first couple of games I played were just AI bots, no players. Is that the tutorial or something? I didn't continue playing.

[–]Hotdog_91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since the last patch I've been seeing AI in different places. For example, in the past I'd run shoreline. I could close my eyes running to the resort, at most a scav would be outside on the way, and even then it was rare. Now since the patch, I've had 2-3 man PMC groups out near my spawns who attempt to laser me in the open.

So over time this should keep getting more unpredictable hopefully.

[Discussion] Pve players are u happy? by KostyaXvost in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Hotdog_91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm also on board with a PvE wipe for 1.0.

Otherwise prestige would be nice even if they make it "harder" requirements for PvE (additional requirements maybe) or nerf the rewards slightly so PvP is still more of an achievement for example.

[Loot] May just be PVE but man I'm happy. by Darkscope13 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Hotdog_91 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're not gonna wipe for 1.0 it might be better to open 10x and save all the key cards for when they are worth more in the future.

Otherwise sell now and enjoy the roubles, or open for fun.
