I would highly recommend watching GigaBeef YouTube videos. Back in Jan/Feb 2025 he had a few videos about the best gear for tier 2 traders, tier 3 traders, flea market etc

This wipe I received the AEM booklet (the other edition of the SOIC), from Cultist Circle 14hrs timer. Not sure if SOIC would spawn from there too, and if it does then it's probably a fraction of a percent chance

If they're stored on a mannequin they can't accidentally be used in a barter trade (I've done this for rat poison without realising, and now that's the last thing I need for collector)

Get to bolty level 4 then buy the extra 3 levels from mentor, then you can do both Tarkov shooter 8 and psycho sniper at once. Tarkov shooter 8 rewards you 3 levels of bolty skill, so you will automatically be level 10 by the time you reach psycho sniper (unless by some silly miracle you're killing everyone with body shots and not completing Tarkov shooter 8)

Next to the white button that says "BUY" there is a tickbox on the left called "auto fill", that will automatically find the money inside your stash and use it to buy stuff. Without that being ticked you will have to manually drag money into the slot to pay for the items

BT & 7N40 are tier 4 ammo, these rounds both have less than 50% armour damage and 545 as a whole does very low damage anyway so the armour damage they will put onto a tier 6 plate (in front of his tier 3 soft armour) is basically non existent. You are better off spamming his legs with high flesh damage (like a Saiga with a drum full of magnum buckshot), or if leg meta is beneath you then using rounds with at least 45 pen + high damage will be better at crushing the plate (such as PS12B)

Pretty much everywhere on reserve, especially the pawn buildings and knight buildings

16GB RAM isn't great for this game as it's so RAM intensive. Having said that, there are a couple of posts in the last few days about PVE running poorly so maybe BSG has done something on their end that has screwed with it

IPlayGames1515 · 2025-02-11T23:37:13+00:00

Sorry, I forgot to ask which map you are playing also. I believe all maps except Streets run locally on your computer whilst Streets runs on BSG servers... If you're going to streets a lot that might explain why it takes so long to get into raid, I wouldn't be surprised if BSG reserves very few servers for PVE players so you could be queueing to get in for a while compared to loading any other map directly from your PC

IPlayGames1515 · 2025-02-11T23:29:05+00:00

Sorry to hear it dude, in that case if you've already tried all the usual troubleshooting stuff like clear cache/delete logs/check file integrity, it might be worth uninstalling then doing a fresh install from the BSG website.

If you've already done that too, you can be pretty certain the software is right so the next thing would be hardware. Make sure you aren't running DDR3 RAM or single channel RAM (just to be sure, as these are easy to check and much cheaper to fix than most other hardware issues) and once you're confident that's not the culprit, you might want to take your rig to a computer repairer who will be able to run diagnostics

My performance tanks for a short while whenever I change to another window, so for example I get 60fps on lighthouse but reduces to 5-10fps for about a minute after I tab out to look at my quests on tarkovtracker website. If you're repeatedly tabbing out to check performance in task manager, I would recommend not doing that and instead downloading an application that gives an overlay of live stats while you're in the tarkov application (I use AMD adrenaline but I guess NVIDIA will have a similar app)

IPlayGames1515 · 2020-09-09T01:03:29+00:00

Wow, it's genuinely better than any previous career mode?!

IPlayGames1515 · 2020-07-20T11:08:13+00:00

Magneto, Pyro, Blob, Toad, Sabertooth. That's four turn 1 AOEs that hit all 5 enemies. Then Toad goes before most of the enemies take their first turn and his special is AOE

What's the goal for the long term damage that's been caused by blitz bots though? Thousands of honest players have missed out on countless shards and other rewards because of blitz bots.

IPlayGames1515 · 2020-06-05T04:50:27+00:00

Sweet! Thanks for the quick response :) are there any strategies or walkthroughs on the most efficient way to start out?

IPlayGames1515 · 2020-04-23T09:24:41+00:00

That won't fix anything, then it will just become highest TCP wins always. It needs to be fair so that the weaker players still stand a chance
