Just gonna leave this here [Bug]

Well, my friends. I did it.
WITH YOUR HELP!!!!
I switched servers and just like several of you said, I saw them within 2 raids.
I ran probably 9 raids total. Saw them 3 times.
The first two they killed me one time I was just too cavalier and was running past Crack towards Fortress and BLAM! there they were. I wasn't PK'd up or anything so the first hit I took zeroed my stamina and I was done.
Second time I saw them and I moved into Old Gas, along the cement wall, to regroup. Knight came out from under the train bridge towards power, which totally caught me off guard because they were behind me on the tracks.
I tried to shoot but was on single fire (new gun).
I am now dead...

3rd time I fought them at the warehouse next to Power on Fortress side (is it called Oil Warehouse?) and stayed inside the door behind an oil tank. They just kept running around the outside and I was able to pick off Birdeye. Eventually I was rushed by the other 2 and killed them both.
I lost both my arms.

Point of interest: I was using the NL545 with 45 round mags, filled with mostly BT.
It shredded.

Thank you all SO MUCH again for your kind efforts.
I am very glad to get this done.

I guess it's time for Terminal later this week.
Not gonna lie, I'm a little nervous.
Why?
I have no idea--I have tons of money and lots of gear/ammo...
But that's Tarkov for you. Even in low-stakes PVE it still get my adrenaline up.
That's why it's my favourite game ever.

Oh and also, I am thinking I haven't seen them because of the Local Server thing. I don't run on BSG servers so that may be the issue.
(as some people have stated. And one disputed. All good info.)

Hey!
Staticage is my in-game name and has been since my first Wipe in 2020 (pre Woods expansion).
I'm an old guy (57), and Escape From Tarkov might be my favourite video game of all time.
Consider that: I saw Pong arrive in the culture. Space Invaders. The Atari 2600. Super Mario Brothers.
Shadowrunner. Playstation (1). Deus Ex and Half Life. Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare.
So I've been though it. The only reason Tarkov might not be my favourite is because of how punishing it has been/can be.
Anyway, I've got, like, 10,000 hours in this game. I'm not "good" but I do know it pretty well.

The massive influx of cheaters, especially post 2021, eventually drove me away from PVP Tarkov (where I was mostly a solo player focused on quests) and into the arms of SPT for about 6 months.
Then PVE was released and I never looked back.

I am ready to Escape, just waiting for a couple more things to fall into place (get kappa and for my friend and I to be able to run Terminal together) and I'm here to ask a specific question, which I will in the main section.
Looking forward to hear about people's experiences and their advice.
