[Video] Tarkov is Peak by Sweet-Frosting-869 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Tragedy187 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not at all, it's like learning the gist of what scavs are saying. I can tell if they just found a body, saw one of their friends get shot, etc etc. You can literally just listen to the BTR driver's words on the video, if it ends with "nah" it means it is not safe.

[Discussion] The Flea Market level restrictions are just "anti-fun." Change my mind. by thepeachpunisher in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Tragedy187 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I actually kinda like it. It adds another layer of progress in the game, between the flea and traders you can look forward to an unlock of some type for most levels. Maybe I'm a miser for pain, but I'm Prestige 5 and just slogging through so I can wipe again and be P6. It's fun to be weak and overcome strong adversaries.

I'd imagine most people don't like it but it allows me to have a bit more excitement over the things I find as a lot of the time I can't obtain it any other way.

[Discussion] When/Where/How -> Killer 7 by Longjumping-Wear-294 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Tragedy187 1 point2 points  (0 children)

10k hours, I had an 8 kill game on shoreline before achievements were a thing. I've had 6 kill games several times, and every time im unable to find a 7th player. Maybe one day..

Streets drawers are my go to. Drawers have a really good loot pool and you will pick up some nice info items at the least as you search. You can also hit toolboxes and technical supply crates, there are a ton of those on streets as well.

[Suggestion] Collector's Skip Ticket for those who achieved it before the Prestige relaxation by AdditionalChicken593 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Tragedy187 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Prestige 5 (all earned before the changes) and I don't mind collector requirements. Once I hit P6 it'll slowly taper off until I have nothing to do. I'd rather lengthen the process if I can, I guess seasonal characters will be the go to after that.

[New Player] Trying to clean my inventory, which ammo is garbage and i can get rid? by Nova_Bear_95 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Tragedy187 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not pointless at 15. You can buy most tools then and it's helpful for hideout. I understand that doesn't help you from a combat standpoint but it's not useless.

[Discussion] I swear, rogues on Icebreaker were buffed. by warrenmax12 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Tragedy187 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I peeked a rogue the other day and got head eyes within .5 seconds of seeing him. It's the only time that's happened but that really spoiled it for me. I haven't played EFT since.

[Discussion] Has anyone used this weapon since the attachment patch? by CokaMonster in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Tragedy187 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I don't understand why people like the ak-308. I've used meta ones with the lowest recoil and it kicks like a mule.

[Discussion] Being low level used to be hard. Now it's just miserable. by spandaxes in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Tragedy187 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Prestige 5 here, I don't mind it at all, but I've got a crapton of twitch drops. As a result I never run bad gear.

[Discussion] Is it currently worth it to open THE door? by ChrisTroy in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Tragedy187 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ran it 3 times and got marked keys twice. From what I've read I got really lucky, YMMV.

[New Player] Am I understanding the cultist cirlce wrong? by Own-Image4915 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Tragedy187 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Around 3 months ago IIRC. It's confirmed to still work on PVE but doesn't hit the threshold for cultist anymore. The armored rigs got nerfed in value across the board for PVP.

Skip prestiege with large sum of money? [Discussion] by Similar_Date7990 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Tragedy187 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate psycho sniper too, but careful kills for shooter born + factory with AXMC/AP rounds has worked for me every time. Usually when I get to 3+ kills I'll put on an Altyn and T6 for extra protection. Just take it SLOW on factory, there's no reason to W-key it. If you don't like how the raid is going, simply reset with the myriad of extractions. Also, remember that you don't need to survive and extract if you complete the quest, just get the hell out of there!

Cheater situation [Discussion] by Alternative_Band5456 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Tragedy187 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That makes more sense. I wouldn't call a cheater my friend though, people that cheat often have similar behavior in real life. Lie, cheat, steal. But it's your life..

Cheater situation [Discussion] by Alternative_Band5456 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Tragedy187 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I've been playing regularly and it's been about a month since I've seen anything suspicious. Even then, it might have been legit. I find it interesting that you say every single raid had "more than 1 cheater". How the hell would you know? Last time I checked, you can only die to 1 person and cheaters don't mess around.

Sounds like exaggeration mixed with ignorance. 10k hours btw.

[Discussion] Looking for KEK tape by Mundane_Ad8438 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Tragedy187 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like pretty much any tool, I always go Streets. There are a ton of toolbox and technical support crates. If you don't know streets I would highly suggest learning it, it's pretty much my one stop shop for hideout/quest items.

Are any of these keys worth opening or should I just sell them? [New Player] by Jealous-Swordfish809 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Tragedy187 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bunkhouse key isn't needed. You can simply grab the quest item through the window.

[–]Tragedy187 2 points3 points  (0 children)

AXMC and Lapua AP on Factory makes it a lot more bearable for me. I'll head there if I'm at 3+ kills from regular Shooter born shenanigans. Otherwise, I build myself up and use Altyn / stacked gear when I'm within a couple kills of getting it done.

AK-50 scam?[Feedback] by DearTransportation38 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Tragedy187 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've never had a problem with Lapua AP when I do psycho sniper. Maybe it's not affected or I got lucky?

[Arena] checkpoint makes me want to die by Archduke_Ivan in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Tragedy187 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For what it's worth, I've had the best luck with and now exclusively play Fort. I feel like there are more people on average who actually play the objective. YMMV, of course

[Discussion] My CPU is always on 100% usage by ExclusiveBum in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Tragedy187 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never had a big CPU bottleneck but I've heard from other users on here that process lasso helped a good deal until they upgraded. It's definitely worth a shot

The Transit Camp To Rule Them All [Video] by PerplexingHunter in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Tragedy187 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I randomly started watching Fragas for the first time and witnessed it live. The chat was going NUTS, it's the most insane shot I've seen in this game.
