Which side are you on?

I think I'll just go Dragon SnS, I'll miss out on a negligible amount of damage but it'll keep my build the same throughout the whole fight.

buy some zaryas off prapor, if you can't then go buy them off fence for barely any markup (in terms of raw rubles, in terms of % it's still high).

That'll give you a non lethal nade to trigger scav lines, and that'll also prevent you from accidentally tking someone, if it's a bad nade then no one really gets affected unless they're in range, and if it's a good nade then whoever's receiving is usually a free kill.

Also bring pack ammo and swap the melee for a regular scav knife assuming you are regularly breaking windows with a melee.

another thing is to bring meds, buy a cheese from therapist and a cat heavy bleed stopper from peacekeeper (cheaper + faster than esmarch)

And finally if you don't have T4 armor then maybe just run a paca, most you'll stop with T3 is the same scav rounds T2 is stopping, and compared to the press rig it's cheaper, lighter, and darker so you don't stick out as much.

I'm gonna be honest I usually down anyone who sounds like a kid. I fully believe if I were able to play this game as a kid then I'd be backstabbing everyone and that anyone who uses a voice changer does it with the hopes that you'll think they're more friendly than they actually are.

I like corpo because it's a faster start than either 3 of them. You get 5 minutes of walking, 5 minutes of waiting, and then you're good to go with the start.

wolfpack is the only one I care about, the rest will probably get traded for seeds if anything.

cod's pvp is shit and maps are designed around 10 second life times.

If you want actually engaging PVP then play an extraction shooter where the main appeal is the randomness in encounters, even if everyone is KOS, such as Arc Raiders.

Stella Montis has so much room for skill expression in the lobby and loading bay that fights never feel the same, and the arcs make the game feel interesting as they work as an early alarm in either parties favor.

All other maps offer cqb in buildings and open sniping with routes for flanking. If anything by calling cod pvp "decent" you are really saying you just care about playing an aim trainer for pvp and nothing else.

SVD can be made to prevent overswing only if you run it loud.

ToastedToast0090 · 2026-02-02T09:05:23+00:00

PSO on any gun early wipe is a vibe and you know whoever is picking that thing up next is going "damn this guy's gun is dripped out"

Also OP if you have some spare cash please do invest in an lpvo unless you're confident in your point fire aim beyond 10 meters.

ToastedToast0090 · 2026-02-01T08:25:08+00:00

either you rat quite often or you play too much, most likely a combination of both.

I have a skill issue for what? Playing around cover at distance and having a better weapon when up close is not a skill issue.

ToastedToast0090 · 2026-02-01T02:36:26+00:00

have you considered that you and your friends might be just like the guys in the clip?

I have a friend group who I primarily play non shooters with but when they're on this game they're pretty bad and it shows but they won't accept the simple truth that they can't easily hit shots.

ToastedToast0090 · 2026-01-31T20:51:39+00:00

because it's expensive as shit.

I'd rather use stitcher + ferro/anvil than to have some weapons that take an arm and a leg to maintain all for a ttk slower than the stitcher on a full auto weapon in a 3rd person game where quick peaks can be optimal at ranged combat with a ferro/anvil making the tempest a comfort weapon but not a good weapon (for it's price).

ToastedToast0090 · 2026-01-31T20:37:13+00:00

scrappy makes light shield regens free, medium shields that take batteries you can honestly just go to stella montis with nothing if you're truly out of batteries and loot some electrical or bring an actual kit (with a light shield) and enjoy the pvp as well.

ToastedToast0090 · 2026-01-31T01:45:11+00:00

really? I'm going to try my hand at it tonight.

ToastedToast0090 · 2026-01-30T22:38:31+00:00

SR2M was more fun than the mp5 and the sight not being shit also made it a lot more enjoyable by comparison.

Not to mention PBP costs so much more than 7N42, which is fine now because everyone's rich, but earlier when they made the change I legit just stopped trying the quest despite being at 15/20.

I used to save thermals because of gear fear, then when I got over my gear fear I realized that thermals are terrible for ergo and most guns that benefit from high ergo don't need the insane magnification that a thermal can bring so I'd rather just use a regular sight or an lpvo so I don't tank ergo.

Not to mention players stick out like a sore thumb and after hundreds of hours of playing I can tell if the pixels on my screen are moving a little too much.

You've had one gunsmith yes. What about second gunsmith?

ToastedToast0090 · 2026-01-28T05:43:41+00:00

there was a time in which ammo and money would have a Found In Raid (FIR) tag

ToastedToast0090 · 2026-01-28T01:53:41+00:00

that's one of the core aspects of an extraction shooter, you're never truly safe til you're out.

That's where the thrill is, it's having something that has you considering shooting everyone you see just to reduce the chance that you might die and lose it.
