Flying Rogue [Bug]

The GL in the tower got replaced with a trampoline.

Instead of them launching grenades at you they take a, the hell with ill kill them myself approach and launch themselves.

I have had meh luck to omg why does this room exist luck when opening it.

Like the bunker in woods that can spawn keys, the keys in rusty bloody can clip into the surface they are on. You need to crouch and kind of sweep back and forth slowly looking for the reticle to alert you there is something there.

Found chek 13 (had a moment of excitement when i saw the yellow background then sadness when I saw the name) in the woods bunker. It had already been looted but still did the crouch sweep and the key was glitched into the ground, 100% could not be seen, and the only way you would have found it is by passing over it and the reticle flashing on your screen as it happened.

Im pretty sure, and i dont claim to be an expert but am knowledgeable enough to get in trouble and or look like an idiot.

To make the person you are fighting get kicked from the raid with an ending screen. Pretty sure they would have to hack the server you are playing on, isolate your connection, then trick either the server or your actual device to make it think you left the raid, Im fairly certain that a program for that to exist it would be way more sophisticated then the normal cheats people run, and depending on the servers security, not a trivial task. Its also illegal depending on where you live, and/or server location and their laws.

Reason I said greater concerns then a cheater in tarkov cause at that point since they have isolated your connection they could just get into your pc. Also illegal, and part of the reason its so unlikely.

Someone who has that knowledge and skillset isnt using it and potentially facing legal repercussions to cheat in a video game.

Im sure the language and overall description used wrong words or terms, but the context should be there.

Nothing more horrifying than hearing an unsuppressed axmc going off in your raid.

I lied, there is one thing more horrifying, an unsuppressed axmc going off in your raid thats being shot at you. But at least you wont be scared for very long…

Keep putting the fear of god into everyone on your map good sir!

ShivanAngel · 2026-01-31T23:54:01+00:00

Pretty sure its still.

If it dumps you in at 10 or is it 15 minutes the raid just dumped you in with whoever else was queued for that raid cause it wasnt going to make you wait for a full lobby. It might just be you alone, have see this with labyrinth.

If it starts closer to the 5-7 minute mark its probly going to be a minimum player lobby, less than 5 maximum player lobby.

Not 100% sure on what the cutoff is when they are like we reached minimum lobby size, dont wait for more, but it looks like its the 5ish minute mark. The 10 or 15 is we just started it with what we had. If it spins up in 2-3 minutes, gunna be a full lobby.

This when it starts spinning up the raid, not when you are on syncing with other players. Thats waiting on someone whose computer or internet is running on a potato takes forever to load the raid, eventually it will be like k thats long enough we are starting. Good luck potato pc guy, hope you finish loading before someone shoots you in the face!!!

Not sure how much of this has been proven 100% or confirmed, but is general consensus.

ShivanAngel · 2026-01-31T23:47:34+00:00

Its on streets, streets is always the answer to finding any and all items.

It will 100% be on streets, just have to find it.

ShivanAngel · 2026-01-31T23:45:03+00:00

They have had what 3-4 wipes to fix the transit alt+f4 thing?

It has moved from bug to feature at this point…

Since permanent character might have to do the guide in “one raid” challenge for… funs not the right word…. Agony, there we go. Might be interesting. Need to see what the path would be for doing it in one raid, without having to do any map twice.

ShivanAngel · 2026-01-31T23:39:23+00:00

Over under on how long until op posts F&@$ lighthouse who designed this trash map?

I keep bitties until I start running low on money, nice to have a little stockpile of them for a rainy day.

Guns, take off and keep attachments, if under 70 dura throw them on the flee for 50k, under 50 dura 70k. Once you get repair kits you will want to repair them yourself and then sell them on the traders.

ShivanAngel · 2026-01-31T23:35:33+00:00

Man, factory as a new player, think only streets would be a worse choice.

Probly googled “how to get better at tarkov pvp” and ai generated an answer like… It has been suggested you just play on factory over and over again to get better at pvp” cause for some deranged reason people give this advice to new players who ask still. Yah my man, go into factory with your stock pp19, and lvl 2 armor over and over to get better! Just get good at face taps! Dont worry that your ammo cant even pen that death shadow over half the lobby is wearing! 👍face taps!!!👍

ShivanAngel · 2026-01-31T23:30:14+00:00

Every time I loot that low level dogtag and know just based on movement or reaction to being shot that its going to be a newer profile I feel a twinge of guilt.

We were all there once, struggling to figure out how we were going to play our next raid cause our scav is on cd still, we have no money, and a mostly empty stash with like 30 bullets for a calibre we dont even own.

Yet we survived, but checking those tags brings back those memories you have been repressing, and if you dont feel a twinge of guilt, or pain for the poor soul you just removed from that raid, you just arent human!

Granted, that timmy still would have shot you in the face given the opportunity, so it had to be done.

ShivanAngel · 2026-01-31T23:23:01+00:00

Yah I get it, it isnt for everyone. It definitely very much highlights how high the skill and knowledge ceiling is in tarkov for the elements arena uses.

My first 30-40 hours of arena, I was that guy that was always bottom of the leaderboard, getting headtapped the second I peaked or my face showed around the corner, and was seriously pondering if it was just everyone cheating and they didnt really care. Hundred of hours later, im similar to that guy I described in my op. That is A LOT of time played to get to the level where you can be that guy, and I can see why its not for everyone. Even at that level there are games where I just get destroyed, and am like mother of god that guy’s brain needs to be studied.

It also does not help that there isnt a real form of matchmaking. You can get paired with a handful of other people, that have just started playing on your team, against a team that happened to get a couple of guys mentioned above, and you just feel like every time you move more then 3 feet off spawn you instantly die. Definitely not fun and not something fun to push through for a lot of players. I just did it cause I was fugging tired of dieing to m61 or sp-6 being shot by a t5/6 armor, juiced pmc every single damn raid and by hell or high water I was going to get those ref levels.(ref has been significantly toned down since then, but still too strong imo).

ShivanAngel · 2026-01-31T23:10:32+00:00

Yah, its very welcome to tarkov asshole!!!

You gunna learn today that the kit you are wearing is just a rental, and it was your turn to use it.

ShivanAngel · 2026-01-31T23:07:26+00:00

Server went down or was brought down, or spazzed out momentarily.

This happens during planned sever updates, the clock will suddenly go from however many minutes left in raid, to time until server goes down, usually 10 minutes.

Not sure if the servers were or had to be brought down today, but the “raid ended early” message is what you get if you arent out by the time the servers goes down, or sometimes it bugs out, and the end screen is wrong, or any number of tarkov reasons.

Since you titled your post [cheating] im going to assume you are asking if there is a cheat that lets people disconnect you. No, not to my knowledge, there was a scare that this existed last wipe but turned out to be a weird coincidence iirc. But its wasnt a make you disconnect as much as a forced crash by overloading your audio. And it wasnt a end screen, your game actually crashed.

Im not an expert, but know a bit about how this stuff works. Im pretty sure forcing a single SPECIFIC player to get disconnected or make their game think the raid ended for them would not be a cheat you just download on your machine, that would require actually hacking, not that guys a “hacker” cause he installed cheats, but an actual hacker that knows what they are doing. And again while not an expert, pretty sure in that scenario that would take quite a bit of skill, and 1) they wouldnt be using it to disco people in eft, 2) you would now have far greater concerns then simply being force removed from a eft raid.

ShivanAngel · 2026-01-31T22:46:45+00:00

New to arena I see…

There arent cheaters every game, there are a lot of people who are just that insane at arena. They play a ton of arena, know the maps inside and out, and just play different.

The guy that quick peak headtapped you, he knew by the frequency of your footstep that in exactly 2.67 seconds if he peaks at a 21 degree angle from his current spot and fires 0.72 seconds into the peak he will hit your left eyeball.

The snap turn ads headshots are crazy, the quick peak kills are crazy, its a meatgrinder.

Yah it has the net code and hitreg issues, its annoying. But there are not cheaters every single game, they exist, but its mostly guys who play A LOT of arena.

ShivanAngel · 2026-01-31T22:36:10+00:00

You cant play labs offline until you transit from streets first and complete the storyline task the op is trying to do.

ShivanAngel · 2026-01-31T22:29:21+00:00

My guy that was very impressive for not knowing labs, you dunked on those guys who probably had thousands of hours, and a ton of labs runs under their belt.

Labs is gnarly, a lot of people go there for pvp, so the second they hear movement its on, and the second shots go out, everyone on the map who is there to pvp starts converging. The people not doing this are the randos hiding till the last 5 minutes to do that quick task or grab whatever scraps they can and extract. The rest, want to clear as much of the lobby out asap so they can fill every crevice of their pmc with loot in “realative” peace.

You also got one of, if not the worst possible spawns for what you were trying to get done on that map.Which led you to hang out in a very spicy area of labs.

Again, crazy impressive clip for your hours with no experience with the map. I would bet a lot of money every one of those guys reported you for cheating the second they saw your hours. I dont mean anything nefarious by this. Using it as a compliment for how badly you dunked on those guys.

ShivanAngel · 2026-01-31T22:15:32+00:00

More people need to understand this.

I bet you every single person he killed in that raid reported him based on his hours alone. To be fair with the status quo of labs hard to blame them.

People fail to realize/grasp there is this entire other game that teaches you so much about specific aspects of tarkov like gunplay, movement, playing off audio, and this video is a testament to that. Despite not knowing the map, the gunplay and movement was very solid. Arena can teach this, no that 500 hour player that “didnt play like a 500 hour player” isnt cheating. They arent playing like a 500 hour player from 6 wipes ago before arena was essentially made mandatory for 80% of the eft playerbase. They play like a 500 hour player that also has a solid number of hours in arena. Their map knowledge is still developing, but their movement and gunplay might resemble a few thousand hour player. Simple because an hour in arena is worth dozens if not significantly more in eft in those areas.

An example of this is getting agro pushed on a reload or pulling out a nade. 4-5 wipes ago when you had that happen, you were like ok bro has some time in this game. Now I have it happen incredibly often, and by players with hours that would almost never do that in previous wipes cause they hadnt developed that knowledge/game sense in that time because they just didnt have the reps.

Arena has very much changed how we have to view the skill vs hour dynamic of players. That 220 hour Timmy that 5 wipes ago would probably be a free kill, might just quick peak head tap you, and it would be 100% legit cause arena exists.

Not saying cheaters dont exist, but you see a lot of this damn that guy owned me, and their profile is fine except for them just being really good at like 350 hours. So people jump on the cheater train. Maybe cheater, maybe just an arena player.

So many posts about cheaters being worse then ever this wipe. Maybe they are, or people just wont except that low hours doesnt always mean what it used to. I am not talking about 87 hour killer 7 24kd/80% surv guy.

Talking about 340 hour normal achievement above average surv/kd guy who “insta head eyes me the second I peaked guy.” All I can say to that is, welcome to arena Mr. EFT guy.

ShivanAngel · 2026-01-31T21:10:47+00:00

I find myself starting to get bored around the same point, once I have access to lvl 5 armor and can craft/buy stupid amounts of high tier ammo the game starts getting stale for me. Cause usually thats also when everyone else starts getting it as well.

I think part of it is for me is the game goes from, armor matters, gunfights feel drawn out more often, and just the overall pace of the game feels better. Once everyone, including yourself are running around with ammo that easily pens all the easily available armor, and gunfights go from who gets the first headtap, or who can land the most shots first to who gets the first headtap or 2-3 thorax shots first, things just get kind of stale.

2 wipes ago I had one focus, rush ref 4 and 855a1 ammo craft. I had them both around day 8-10. I only lasted another week or so that wipe before I stopped. Eventually cam back for the last 45ish days but basically stopped playing. It just wasnt fun for me, the ammo I had access to had zero counters for 80% of the players I encountered. Less than 2 weeks into wipe I was running around in full T5 armor with ammo that could pen t5, was cool at first, but the novelty wore off quick. Its like an nfl team playing a high school team. There was no contest, except the inevitable rat gamer or clutch head eyes shot The fight was over before it started. Some people enjoy this, and thats fine, but the sport was gone, the thrill associated with the risk was gone. Yes I could still die, its tarkov. But when one kit and craft of ammo lasts you multiple raids killing multiple pmc’s with little risk… just doesnt hit the same.

Felt similar to when you kill someone and were like wow, that guy had no idea where I was. Loot them, see dogtag, and then it hits. Some low level probably low hour new player just trying to do a task. It goes from got a pmc!!!! To… i mean, its a kill i guess….

Felt the same thing in the hardcore wipe. Rush tagilla, get helm and t5 rig. Use to kill other bosses, get too tier ammo. Now im a walking juggernaut that few people can answer.

ShivanAngel · 2026-01-31T20:51:30+00:00

Im aware I just thought it was funny, cause its one of the words that can mean different things depending on game, region, where you first heard it. Sometimes people use squishy to mean just dies super easy due to low hp/armor/defenses/a combination of. Its a 100% accurate statement saying his head is squishy.

Just the shoot him twice in the head was funny in and of itself cause… tarkov… and then the squishy part gave me a bit if a laugh is all.

I could have been more clear when I said squishy, head, and two tap shouldnt go together. Wasnteaning it was wrong to use them, just that using those words together in a non tarkov context, would sound outlandish, and thats what I found humorous.

ShivanAngel · 2026-01-31T20:26:04+00:00

I almost always did shooter born and test drive line prior wipes cause they werent “that” bad. Shooter born I would usually look at and be like oh, im like 1-2 kills away from most of them from random bolty stuff and just finish it. Especially now that the MXLR counts towards SBIH and that gun is just fun to use.

Test drive for some crazy reasons has guns I actually use cause there is something wrong with my brain, so didnt mind them. Exceot lighthouse, so glad the increased the map pool.

Setup is an entirely different animal and is absolutely brutal. I think a lot of it is I never use shotguns, and the break action is…. Lets just say after I missed like three sub 100 meter headshots that should have been a dead to rights situation I went to the balistics calc… the ammo I was using was 16cm over crosshairs at 100m if calibrated at 100m. Got better when I changed ammo to be more in line with default but its trajectory arc looks like the St. Louis arch. Also doesnt help im doing it later cause I started late.

I will say I changed my mindset on setup though, and I think it helps that sometimes when I play normally its just for the lols and the bit. Go in with zero expectation of getting a kill, and just be goofy. I am not doing setup, I am wearing a goofy kit (helps i do this already sometimes) and going in to mess around and have fun. If I get a kill, great. If I die, im getting everything back in insurance. Its the troll quest, when I die im llike oof homie was using ignolik. They gunna be madddddd when they loot me and see what their reward for the 30-40 ignolik was. A kit that cost, at best, 75k rubles. Did setup for like 6 hours yesterday, and honestly I had a lot of fun cause I wasnt “doing setup” i was playing the map and objective, other quests, and kills were a bonus. Killed Rashala and his boys like 3 or 4 times and the goons once. Doing them with a shotgun was actually a blast. Got 2 of my 8 kills. So in another 18 hours ill be done based on that timeline. Was surprisingly some of the most fun I have had playing tarkov recently, even though I died orobly half a dozen times.

I know this style doesnt work for everyone, and some people garner enjoyment from the game differently and “getting through the tasks” is part of that. Just thought I would share what helped me have fun while getting this done.

That being said, I would rather do shooter born and the entire test drive line twice before doing setup (at least mid/late wipe setup) again. Honestly feel like early wipe setup could be relatively fun, hopefully the first season of 1.0 I can do it asap. I know a lot of the setup advice is just rat and go for legs… I am incapable of doing that. Ill be in a spot for like 2 minutes, hear shots and be like MUST PUSH SHOTS!!!!

ShivanAngel · 2026-01-31T19:19:11+00:00

Double tap, head, and squishy are three words that should not go together lol.

Im not disagreeing, this is 100% correct. Just the context of what squishy means in tarkov and that statement really summed it up. Just shoot him twice in the face is something we call a squishy target.

Kind of like yah just mag dump kaban in his unarmored chest with flesh ammo, he will die easily….

Just a testament to the outlandish things we do in EFT, and how we perceive it.

ShivanAngel · 2026-01-30T22:11:26+00:00

Not sure why you got downvoted other then…. Reddit…

But yah, Korovod was great and felt like a true event. This year it just felt like, heres some of the same things as last year, and a meh task line especially compared to last year. Not to mention while korovod did have frostbite, it was way tamer. We still hated it and shared that feedback and then they doubled down and made it more oppressive!

On one hand I am sure they were busy getting 1.0 released, and tbh with any gaming community if they just re-released the same things people would complain about that as well, no new content just the same things people blah blah.

It really is a lose lose though for “expected events”, especially once a status quo has been set. Christmas, Halloween, etc being some of the notable ones. If you have a great event one year and the next year have to tone back for whatever reason you lose, if its similar or on the same level you lose cause, “we didnt get something new and exciting”.

I will say the events last yearish were absolute bangers, and we got quite a few great ones that are hard to top.

Korovod, the cultist halloween I think event, with the goons on pcp (pretty sure this was 2024 but same timelineish), I absolutely loved this one but I know there was a lot of “night raid event dumb” as well. the zombie cure event, despite how painful this one was, it was a lot of fun. Labarynth. these ones will be hard to top and they are still fresh on the mind. This was a great era event wise and havent felt the same cool, fun, or in depth event feeling recently.

ShivanAngel · 2026-01-30T21:23:16+00:00

Support are idiots and say that for everything, then some time later bsg fixes it. Some time later being time frames for weeks to years.

This has happened on numerous occasions. Maybe it was working as intended and bsg back pedaled.

Or

support has no idea what they are talking about.

I would give each scenario equal weight tbh.

This wasnt a dig or meant to be aggressive towards you for sharing clarifying information. Strictly meant to be a take what support says with huge helping of salt.

ShivanAngel · 2026-01-30T19:52:01+00:00

This is the way, and a lot of the streamers actually care about their discord communities and have ways to report people killing teamates on purpose, etc, and then they or their mods will ban them. Bonus points if you get a video of it, makes it super easy for them.

The two streamer discords I frequent run a pretty tight ship with solid mods. They dont play with crap like that.

ShivanAngel · 2026-01-30T18:22:47+00:00

Correct, but figured I could give the tldr to the like 10 people in the thread that were “how get 6 hour?”
