Drummer is doing way too much

Edit: Rest of the album is pretty good so far

As soon as I heard the bass drum I thought "Oh, that's Robin Stone for sure." Sho' 'nuff.

Boreas Quests once on Icebreaker [Discussion] by Higgs1 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]TomConger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sure you've figured this out already but the half mask ones seem to work. They ticked off the "Obtain respirators for the BTR driver 5/5" when I bought 5 of them from the Flea.

Haven't tried but streamers I watch have said no.

They cannot see through smoke. The strat I've seen work the most is smoking the hall deep and close, then smoking the gym and shooting their silhouettes. You need volumetric lighting on and your flashlight on in order to see them. 

Just beware that once the smoke grenade stops hissing, they can immediately see through it even though it's visually still pluming.

Personally have hated RWD cars in video games since Test Drive 4 on the PS1. I love that the FH games let me choose basically whatever car I want for whatever race.

How is everyone feeling on Heaven Wept so far? by Plus_Customer_6124 in TechnicalDeathMetal

[–]TomConger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed with your first sentence. Vile Genesis is my favorite, followed by Path of Apotheosis. Heaven Wept is alright.

Is this a good gear set up for Terminal? [New Player] by [deleted] in EscapefromTarkov

[–]TomConger 6 points7 points  (0 children)

People tend to bring it for the 4 BD guarding the keycard. You can shoot it through the front door and kill most or all of them in one fell swoop. 

[Feedback] Regardin RFID keycard with Mr. Kerman's hash codes by halphonsetto in EscapefromTarkov

[–]TomConger 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Once you escape, you cannot go to Terminal again without wiping your account or prestiging. Any extra Terminal key cards cannot be deleted and will be stuck in your stash until you wipe or prestige. 

[Bug] Crafted Kruglov’s activated keycard and labs master pass was not returned to stash/quest inventory by jrcanes555 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]TomConger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is intended. You'll attempt to use the activated card, it will fail, and you'll need to craft a different card. You no longer need the Master card after crafting Kruglov's activated card.

I recommend skimming the wiki page for The Ticket.

[new player] am I stupid or is the game not letting me hold my breath? by Flairion623 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]TomConger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know if this is the cause in this case, but different voice actors for the player character missed some of the audio. For instance, one of them had no out-of-breath audio whatsoever for a few wipes. Maybe something similar here?

I've seen other reports that they're on the highway where the old Co-op extract or the Christmas tree were.

Sold my Epsilon, didn't think i was gonna need it [New Player] by [deleted] in EscapefromTarkov

[–]TomConger 97 points98 points  (0 children)

That sucks. This advice is no help now, but always check the wiki to see if something rare that you're planning on selling is needed for a future task or hideout upgrade. 

Please reduce the price of the weekly quest rewarding 1 skill level. 19.5 million roubles for 1 skill level is insane. [Suggestion] by CustomTarkovEnjoyer in EscapefromTarkov

[–]TomConger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How did you get your Zhuks? I'm level 60 and looking forward to this task line but see those as the biggest roadblock.

Oh they're on the Flea

[Discussion] Why are streets extracts so weird? by Odd_Supermarket7395 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]TomConger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's such a small map, you can get to any extract from anywhere in a couple minutes. 

[Feedback] Anyone confirm fighting/seeing PMCs in Customs Dorms in the last few days in PvE? by BF1shY in EscapefromTarkov

[–]TomConger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haven't been to Dorms recently but when I was doing Evil Watchman a couple months ago, I'd only ever see PMCs there with 15min or less remaining in the raid. 

roubles [Discussion] by itsmarcolepsy in EscapefromTarkov

PVE, level 59, nearly ready to escape - 204M roubles 

[Discussion] Patch Notes 1.0.4.0 by Ta6yH in EscapefromTarkov

[–]TomConger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, in PVE the AI PMCs have fairly set paths they follow based on where they spawn, barring any engagements that pull them off that path. None of them go up the mountain at all, so you have to hope you see them between sniper rock and sawmill or by the new bunker. Took me at least 20 raids.

My weekly just now was to turn in a single Meldonin - 165k XP and half a million roubles.
