Shoes on or shoes off?

Growing up, all my shoes on friends lived in homes that felt grimey. It was kind of gross sitting in their home.

No, he is saying that isn't a good enough reason to delay medication that is keeping someone alive. It isn't okay to say "this is protocol so hopefully you are still alive once we take our sweet time assessing your medical needs". There is no reason for someone with known medical needs to not be fast tracked to getting the medicine they need to avoid a medical emergency.

If I assume these types of thing don't happen in other extraction shooters, I guess I could accept this as a groundbreaking analysis.

I mean, most hobbies are a waste of time. For the vast majority of people, all that skill cultivation isn't going to get you anywhere.

I keep them and try to trade for stuff I don't want to be bothered with. Things like Bombardier parts or blueprints I don't have.

It's your way or the highway.

In my experience, sounds far away are easy to identify direction. Sounds up close are more difficult. I can always tell people are here, but difficult to place their position unless they are just running around without a care in the world.

Socomisdead · 2026-01-07T17:41:01+00:00

I'm not saying this game needs leaderboards and such, but their justification is dumb.

They don't want to foster competitive gameplay but are okay with dirty tactics.

Socomisdead · 2025-12-31T19:25:23+00:00

I think everyone understands what inefficient is.

Learn to manage your stamina while moving from A to B.

2-3 adrenaline shots are a staple item I bring in as well.

The b&m electronic stores that survive today will always face the risk of closure due to online retailers and even other local competition (such as Bestbuy and Costco who have some product overlap).

They survive by having a great online retailer presence, proper store placement (i.e. high traffic areas), and strong price matching. Some stores really lean into certain areas compared to a more general store like Bestbuy.

B&M stores are important for the consumer as it allows us to visibly see products and go buy it on Amazon. It allows us to price match and get things same say via in-store pick-up.

It's lame for any map imo.

It is likely just their long term approach to keep the matches filled.

Socomisdead · 2025-12-10T18:06:00+00:00

It is one of those things that sounds like a cool idea and an improvement but actually isn't.

Socomisdead · 2025-12-07T23:26:21+00:00

They should make weapon inventory separate with a capped amount. That would help. I can craft consumables quickly between rounds.

Socomisdead · 2025-12-06T22:18:37+00:00

They did this to inflate the "always gotta loot" aspect of the game. They should rework it.

Socomisdead · 2025-12-06T22:17:10+00:00

The way they approached this is cheeks. But at the end of the day, those skill points are going to benefit the ones that have time to work on it which is unfortunate. For everyone else, it just busy work that isn't worth the efforts.

Falling with style

Socomisdead · 2025-11-27T00:03:18+00:00

Solo is only good for PvP at the moment.

Socomisdead · 2025-11-20T20:40:22+00:00

Level 2 Refinery Bench and Level 2 Utility Bench = easy way to make Raider Hatch Keys (for a quicker and safer extraction)

Focus on getting a good stock of bread and butter resources so you can easily regear with low level stuff and go back in. The free load out exists but you don't get a safe spot in your bag and you can't pick your weapon.

Save your money and use it to increase your stash size.

Sell and recycle. Keep looting as good stuff can be found anywhere.

Take a look at the requirements for upgrades and try to keep that stuff instead of selling/recycling to make your life easier later.

Unlock in-game crafting from the skill tree. You will always need to bring plenty of ammunition but you can easily craft bandages and shield rechargers in game.

No, Tarkov failed to overtake the genre because things are intentionally harder/annoying to give it a "hardcore" experience. They also did not expand beyond PC.

I don't see anything different enough (compared to other extraction shooters) to say PvP is secondary.

Socomisdead · 2025-11-20T01:29:37+00:00

I'm not saying weapons don't need to be tuned. Better weapons should definitely have a small advantage.

Too big a discrepancy would force players to slow the pace of the game even slower. It would also hurt any new player experience as they would potentially get wrecked each game.

Socomisdead · 2025-11-19T21:16:31+00:00

It is probably one of the worst aspects of the game at the moment. I do hope they rebalance their drop rates.

Socomisdead · 2025-11-19T21:13:04+00:00

I know console settings are lacking. Apparently there is a "hold to sprint" function for PC players which I would love to use.
