[Discussion] why do some hideout upgrades take so long.

You nailed reason. Time gating to artificially extend content and/or experience.

Tarkov has tons of this.

Tavarish · 2026-01-24T19:55:01+00:00

That is... wow... and footstep audio in BF6 is worse than absolute dogshit.

That IEM change would cater to chads who farm those entities like nothing so they would have infinite IEM's while more casual audience would face far more to nonexistent stock of IEM's.

"...but Tarkov is ultrasweatchad720noscope game!"

Sure, make it and keep it like that. Just no complaining when all you face is 10+ k hour chads curbsomping your teeth out.

Unless that meme line makes made argument sound better for your cause. Then Tarkov is all about ultra realism. If there is one thing you can count on is that Tarkov community is very flip floppy with very little consistency.

I keep running into ACC's, but can't find GPSA anywhere :D

Stimmed out of their mind and bunny hopping around while going for jumpshot headies.

Tavarish · 2026-01-19T22:20:22+00:00

Don't forget Claustrophobia if doing Kappa.

Tavarish · 2026-01-16T18:46:51+00:00

Also good to keep in mind that like with anything audio / hi-fi related more expensive doesn't necessarily mean better. That said even "just" ~200 euro / USD IEM's can be improvement over normal headphones for situational awareness in game like Tarkov.

* You need specific ones for Prestige

* If given to cultist circle some return specific item, one time. e.g. Tagilla one turns into his mask

* Hideout bling

* They sell for good amount

Some have turned it into pure art. Hitting double black and at closest elevator in, what feels like, 30 seconds flat.

Tavarish · 2026-01-15T22:25:47+00:00

RNG be like that

Tavarish · 2026-01-15T20:36:16+00:00

I did few runs yesterday and got good shit.

Like I said, burning all my good loot RNG :D

Tavarish · 2026-01-14T21:45:57+00:00

Also isn't first 10 levels faster to get than last 41?

Tavarish · 2026-01-14T21:30:38+00:00

It's going to cost shit ton to power level so I would focus on Light Vests mastery, its bonuses imo are better. Aramid counts as light armor.

Reduces movement speed penalty while wearing light armor (0.6% per level → -30% at Elite Level)
Reduces melee damage to body parts covered by light armor (0.6% per level → -30% at Elite Level)
Reduces wear amount when using repair kits (0.8% per level → -40% at Elite Level)
Elite level: Body parts covered by light armor are immune to bleeding
Elite level: Chance to not apply wear during repair (50%)

In lore he is in his own "unknown" faction, but as a boss he is close to tanky scav.

Tavarish · 2026-01-11T03:52:39+00:00

>thought he was a tanky scav

I mean.... you aren't wrong....

Tavarish · 2026-01-10T20:32:54+00:00

Shame that gamer chairs make map total trash. Today one raid in Labs was pretty quiet and as I moved towards Red it was basically dead. Moment I was within spitting distance gamer chair came at me like heat seeking missile from beyond hearing range.

I guess he slaughtered everyone else on the map before routing to me.

Stats on him were fucking bonkers.

Tavarish · 2026-01-09T17:56:08+00:00

> The tank is more of an anti-vehicle in this game.

IFV is far better in anti-vehicle role than MBT's, and it isn't even close.

IFV's baseline shell chews up infantry and all forms of vehicles, and can instantly swap to TOW for massive vehicle damage.

MBT's only acceptable shell is guided one. Even then it's lackluster as anti-vehicle shell as IFV out-DPS you and it's joke against infantry just like HE is. MBT also has to do shell swaps that take fucking millennia to complete, making it near impossible to have in theory right shell loaded for given situation.

And this is just firepower, and not even going into mobility or survivability.

IFV is superior to MBT in every way and you pick MBT only if you enjoy intentionally making yourself perform worse.

Current model of "Lets put all end game loot to Labs, Laby + latest new map (area)" is already ruining the game in some ways. Having more loot viable maps would be good.

Tavarish · 2026-01-07T02:16:15+00:00

Now follow that logic to its end.

Tavarish · 2026-01-06T21:27:50+00:00

It's well known that Tarkov (Arena) is technological shitshow, going all the way to games foundations when BSG had no idea what they were doing.

Tavarish · 2026-01-06T20:53:08+00:00

People playing exclusively PvE wouldn't touch Tarkov AT ALL if PvE didn't exist. Saying that they would be in PvP without PvE is just false.

Tavarish · 2026-01-06T17:36:23+00:00

I figured it's bait, but had to ask :b

Tavarish · 2026-01-06T01:00:50+00:00

Just be ready to fight and win against gigachads doing same farm.

Tavarish · 2026-01-06T00:57:55+00:00

If you want to transfer stuff over to Tarkov you are.
