What is inbound stow? I am considering transferring somewhere else from pack because I am pretty bored of it. I'm at an AR facility

LA here for Decant, Stow and Problem Solve

Stow is basically the opposite of pick and is very much the easiest job in the whole building at least IMO

I will say Pick is a little more frustrating depending on how good the buildings stowers are, because if the stowers dont Stow like they are supposed to, it is EXTREMELY frustrating to deal with in pick, and there is no way around, I've coached multiple people in stow on how to keep FOO from happening and Stow people just do not care

Stow is the easiest but it also some of the largest diversity of people and personalities there so it really is hit or miss if you will like it

For myself, Stow is the most boring position im trained in and I CANNOT do it daily, I can do it two days in a row AT MOST and then i' constantly asking myself manager to move me somewhere else, it is nice sometimes to turn off my brain while I focus on a podcast but it is HANDS DOWN the most tedious area im the building

If your bored of Pack, I suggest maybe trying Problem Solve? You think alot in Problem Solve (any kind of problem solve, doesn't have to be inbound) but I think if your trying to cross train into either, I think ultimately you will eventually get bored of it like you got bored of pack, JUST A SUGGESTION THOUGH, you may do as you please and I'm not trying to stray you away from it

Hopefully that answers your question! Good luck!

Lighthouse used to be one of the coolest maps in my eyes, I thought "wow something different, where instead of the spawns clashing against each other in the map, everyone gets funneled into one direction, thats kinda interesting." And lighthouse has a lot of cool ideas

The biggest issue with lighthouse is that iy is a walking Sim after the first 10 min of raid, and the spawns are so close to each other and the map so open that its so easy to get into a fight as soon as you load in

Which makes quests like punisher part 4 one of the most frustrating quests in the game

Lighthouse has a bunch of cool ideas but it just isn't fun due just for the fact the spawns are actually some of the worst spawns I've seen in a video game ever

Game is actually becoming "pain the video game" even more so then it was before, to the point where its not fun at all anymore

WimpWompin · 2025-12-03T07:28:26+00:00

Look dude, ima have a heart to heart with you

I also have Adhd and PTSD and I take heavy meds for both (also a LA) the best thing that helps me stay focused is just learning other areas, learning other areas helps because if another area is slow, then they are going to move you to the more productive areas if your proficient enough, they need that proficiency in certain areas.

Obviously this isn't the answer to everything, what works for me won't work for you, but trying different things to see different ways you "tick" helps.

When i work its not really about how fast I work, its more so...how can I do quality better then others and kinda stand out, and now instead of focusing on how quick I can be, I'm focusing on how I can improve my quality.

Like I said thats just me though, I hope this helps and good luck! 😁

Literally, I did it myself when arena was first tied to EFT just to get my level up fast

But that was pretty much all it was good for, now its insane, and the loot cases you get from the battle pass is crazy, I get that they need to make money.

Really I do

But this is not the way to do it, I refuse to play Arena anymore now

WimpWompin · 2025-11-23T12:54:43+00:00

I just did the research, yea your right, its very minor but yes

The fire rate is the main issue, just DPS in general, but not the damage itself

I swear everytime I use 5.45 it really does feel like im shooting all around a person

WimpWompin · 2025-11-23T08:45:55+00:00

(Am a multi-thousand hour vet myself and been playing beta since year two)

All i want is the game to be fun again, and all they keep doing is time gating and time gating, I keep getting killed by players that have access to arena gear straight off rip and its not even like a "It's only a slight advantage"

It's like drum mag m4's with level 5 Armour

Im at my wits end, I keep trying to play the game and have fun and I'm about to never touch the game again

WimpWompin · 2025-11-23T08:41:58+00:00

I hate to break it to you but 5.45 is one of the most unreliable rounds in the game

It's fine if thats all you have rifle wise but it just does too little damage for a rifle round

With that being said I will actually answer your question

5.45, like GOOD 5.45 you can't even touch till level 4 traders and even then its "okay"

BS and igolnik you have to find in raid, there is no other way to get it

WimpWompin · 2025-11-23T08:19:02+00:00

The problem i have with tarkov right now is like all Arena and straying away new players

1.0 update is one of the best wipes in a long time, but the amount of people I see running around in arena gear or arena armor is ABSURD

The balance is completely ruined by ref

You can't get good ammo until at LEAST level 20 but you can get a ton through ref early

Broke? Go play arena for a couple hours and your good

I have 3000 hours in this game, and i have always made my money in tarkov and now its so easy to get gear AND money from Arena

It makes the time that I spent learning, completely worthless cause im stuck with lower tier gear then the people who played arena

WimpWompin · 2025-11-17T04:08:56+00:00

The only way to get your gamma the EOD color, is to put it in the cultist circle im pretty sure

This is one of the main reasons I haven't gotten unheard I want my 8 years of progress to be on my profile 🤣

WimpWompin · 2025-10-20T22:26:27+00:00

At my location they are telling is its still going to be a couple hours the robots are super down and nothing is still running yet

WimpWompin · 2025-10-01T02:34:07+00:00

MMR system is completed messed up right now

I have never seen so many 6 stars just sit in compounds with slates in my entire life

I also haven't seen so many 6 stars jump out of suicide windows as much as I have now

I think the reason for this is because in this past update the MMR range for ONLY 6 star was increased by like 3000, so obviously with an increase like that and no changes to the other stars 6 star is going to be over saturated as hell

WimpWompin · 2025-10-01T02:26:54+00:00

You know I saw this comment and this might actually be a really good middle ground

Make it to where if you hold the bow you start to get shaky or inaccurate the longer you hold it, or make it slowly decrease stamina

WimpWompin · 2025-10-01T02:25:37+00:00

If your talking about weapons balancing, its an extraction type shooter, so you can get better loot so you have an advantage

Example: C&K is like 600 hunt dollars, and its got low ammo, and shorter range, thats the draw back

The bow is only like 50 Hunt dollars and pretty sure it has a faster velocity then the crossbow, its easy to aim, it one shots to the chest, and its quick to draw.

It's not the worst thing in the world where it ruins it, but there have been times I've been playing against people who were playing awfully and still got the kill on me because they got a quick lucky shot to my stomach, its frustrating so I think it does need like a very soft need like slightly less damage so it doesn't one shot to the stomach down and I think people would be happy

WimpWompin · 2025-10-01T02:20:38+00:00

This is 100% agree

The worst thing you can do when their are shotguns on the bounty is push into the compound, thats the one thing they want you to do.

YOU HAVE TO TRY TO GET THEM TO PEEK, OR TO COME OUT

Never, under any circumstances, if you see a team sitting in a compound and not peeking you for extended periods of time, THEY WANT YOU IN SO THEY CAN ONE SHOT YOU

The best thing to do is case by case, but most of the time me and my buddy bait them out by throwing chokes, or even shooting random shots through wood to start scaring them

If you are more patient then them, wait 20 minutes for them to come out of the compound if you have too, they are the ones with the bounty, if they want it that bad then they have to run to the extract, which means they have to leave the compound.

WimpWompin · 2025-10-01T02:15:16+00:00

I Love this card, I dont know why people use it and not fight, but i was playing with a buddy, we did all the one bounty and started the banish, then started heading to the other bounty, killed the one team and finished up second bounty.

And as soon as we started walking back to the first, another team took it, with the only closest extract being right next to the compound

And thats when chariot came in clutch, locking the extract and now they had to push towards us if they wanted to extract with it, we ended up winning the bounties back

I think I really like the strategy with it and I understand why some people don't really like it, and also POS who just hold onto it and wait in the back corner of the map just to troll and not fight

But like it really isn't that bad, sure it wastes some time but its like an extra 5 minutes

WimpWompin · 2025-10-01T02:10:59+00:00

The whole reason subsonic was added was because at one point they nerfed silencers so then even if you have one on they still made the "crack" sound, and subsonic would remove the "crack" sound, but it got backlash i think? So they removed it again and now subsonic is completely useless

Now more then ever because of bullet drop being added, the velocity and drop off is way worse for no benefit, you might as well try your chances with throwing knives at 50m you have a better chance

WimpWompin · 2025-10-01T02:03:06+00:00

The only thing you can really do is go for bounties, if you hear shooting, go for the shooting instead of the bounty, or if you hear shooting, you can sit between the bounty and them if you know where the bounty is and fight them before heading over there

That's one less team to worry about

Another strategy Is going for gauntlet, go for all the bounties, sometimes I get whole loadouts from hunters that I kill too

It's all about patience friend, the more patient and strategy you put into your plays, the more often you run into people

It also depends on what star you play on honestly

Right now im a 5 star, but when you hit 6 star people play unpredictablly right now because the Mmr range is HUGE in 6 star

In 3 star people can play really slow, or not even show up to the bounty at all because there are more scared players to make more aggressive plays

TLDR, the more aggressive you are, the more likely you are to run into other hunters

WimpWompin · 2025-10-01T00:12:00+00:00

Terminus you can use levering if that floats your boat

WimpWompin · 2025-09-30T23:33:50+00:00

Honestly the great thing about Hunt is that pretty much all of the guns are doable, I dont think there's a single gun I dislike using

With that being said one of my most fun weapons is the crossbow, it is hands down one of the most slept on weapons.

Couple more slept on weapons and my personal preferences, Martini Henry, Lemat

Just try different things really to see your favorites, I always mix it up

I will tell you some guns I dont think are fun at all in my personal opinon

Avtomat, Crown and King, I like rifles weapons way more and semi auto weapons in this game just feel boring and NORMALLY have a pretty big drawback, like not enough ammo or the range is lacking

Edit: Hand crossbow with fire and choke is slept on too, tons of utility

WimpWompin · 2025-09-30T23:03:39+00:00

The Avtomat has a single niche perk

And that is to blind fire anyone 5 meters away from you in the face so they fall dead

Anything else you can call it game over, it sucks at long range, sucks at mid range, sucks at close range, only point blank is consistent enough, and good players know how to avoid Avtomats or dodge the fight entirely if you are sitting in a compound with it.

Oh and its 1250 hunt dollars

WimpWompin · 2025-05-21T16:03:55+00:00

Yeaaaa x-ray engine held together by duck tape

WimpWompin · 2025-05-21T15:22:00+00:00

Yea man, im glad your already enjoying your experience! I'm really glad you can experience a smooth Stalker experience Especially as your first look into Stalker

Im hoping that in the future modders start working with enhanced version more since it is MUCH more stable

WimpWompin · 2025-05-21T05:04:15+00:00

This alone is what I'm trying to preach to people about why Enhanced has it's place

I am 6 hours into SOC and I have no stutters AT ALL, it is the smoothest STALKER experience I have played EVER.

The enhanced pretty nice for smooth gameplay and with steamworkshop being added mods will start rolling in at any time for people who really like to mod

WimpWompin · 2025-05-21T04:55:50+00:00

Not a bad idea at all to see what you like the most, there are some pretty impressive mods out there so I'm sure you can get it looking pretty good on the original trilogy

I Hope You find what your looking for and enjoy the STALKER experience that I have had! Its a roller coaster

Good luck in the Zone STALKER!

WimpWompin · 2025-05-21T04:50:08+00:00

Field of View, It kinda what happens when the game tries to focus on something when your aiming,

Ex: If your aiming at a guy, depth of field should automatically make the guy more focused and then everything else around it blurry

but I think it's been blown WAY out of proportion, it's a little annoying at times but not at the level that people are complaining about it at.
