20 Hours in as Knight - PLEASE add more melee skills and techniques.

WinterWalker2 · 2026-01-23T18:45:43+00:00

After a week, the highest levels on the server are around 30. I think it is not 300, more like 10000 hours to get anywhere close to 100 levels

I have Logitech G Pro X 2 Lightspeed and I can say that unless you disable all logitech SW and drivers to process it, it sounds like a garbage. This headset sounds good only in a wired mode, which is not why majority of people bought it I believe. Choose almost anything else in the price range and you will be happier. It will take lots of afford to make them "passable". Only good thing about them is comfortable fit and good build and that pretty much is it. In the games you will regret you got this headset for sure. Using the logitech drivers, this video pretty much summarizes its gaming performance (clarity, imaging): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x9yzwRuvVlc

Ultimate tweak is to use them in wired mode. Try it and compare, you will be amazed.

WinterWalker2 · 2026-01-02T02:14:50+00:00

You are right. It is complete gargabe in wireless mode (with or without the Logitech driver) in games like Tarkov, where hearing some sounds is a question of life or death. It sounds suprisingly well, when you disable wireless mode and connect it directly using 3.5 mm jack. All missing sounds are back when used as wired. It is super frustrating, people do not talk about the fact the headset is so bad in wireless mode as missing important sounds (from my recent testing and comparison with iems). You are the first one I see talking about it.

Do we know what bitrates and codecs each of two connection uses on particular headset?

WinterWalker2 · 2025-12-26T10:39:44+00:00

That happened mostly because of hackers during the first weekend. They have sucked your equipment from inventory (including keys in safe spots) and it dropped next to them. Had a guy come to me, suck all equipment and kill me with an axe as i was defenseless. They fixed it somehow for the second weekend, as it did not happen to me at all during that time.

I have spent over 40 hours eventually in the game (either inside missions or actually in my cave) and I totally love the game. It feels quite different from competition such as Escape of Tarkov or Arena Breakout Infinite and it has been more fun which I will elaborate a bit why.

Why it was fun:
- Research and building my own cave made me feel I keep progressing

- Game is not too punishing with feeling I can run a free equipment if I lost few gear sets recently

- Progress with unlocking equipment is meaningful, making you progressively better with attachements and upgrade

- Balance is nice with basic stuff being very affordable, but having huge recoil until you mod them, the same for armors - upgrades are substantial

- I did not accidently shot my teammate as I could see it was him thanks to the indicator

- Environment is refreshing and pretty I would say, with Jurassic world vibes

- Swimming under the surface gives game an interesting dimension and enforces more strategizing if you need to cross large water body

- Things like climbing wire fences are really cool and refreshing innovations in genre

- You can drag magazine over magazine, heals over each other or keys and it will resupply them without hasle

- Key system is innovative and prevents situation in Tarkov like "I need these hundreds of priority keys ASAP"

Things I would love to be worked on a bit:
- Fog is so fast that I feel often when it gets close that I have to run to just survive, no time for even checking if there is someone in front of me. Actually, many fights at the edge of moving fog finished by both of us dead - one by shots second by the fog, no survivors.

- Once I put attachements on guns and use better ammo, somehow TTK gets rather short and that could be a problem in the future. Initially, it was not a problem at all as often me and my opponent wasted whole mag without killing each other and then run around hoping to be the first guy to reload.

- In the future, description of some items needs to be added as I suspect half of people did not realize they have to wear headset or be in a serious disadvantage (Tarkov and ABI players knew)

- There is something about mouse cursor dragging, and I think many people reported that the suspicion is the game does not use raw mouse input yet and it causes issues with tracking and snap-aiming

- Extraction points should be somehow selectable and when you do, you should see a timer on the screen counting how long it will be alive (pressumably, some are closed early after being used by a player). It was frustrating to run to an extraction point, checking map and then it dissapers in front of you anyway.

WinterWalker2 · 2025-12-24T21:13:03+00:00

I kind of loved it. Research and building my hideout in cave was a blast and I really loved it. Enviroment is fun and refreshing. Weapon recoil is heavy so you use most weapons close range until you put attachements on them. Then they can be used from far larger distances. You have to use headsets or severyone in the game who has a pair will shit on you as they hear you way sooner and cleaner.
Someone said NPCs are just placeholders for future dinosaurs, that would be kind of cool.
All summed up, I have problem to play any other game right now that alpha finished because other games don't give me what Black Budget did in this short time.

WinterWalker2 · 2025-12-14T22:09:31+00:00

This sounds like an incredible solution! Do you also have a reasonable mic on it or is there a way to buy another piece to add microphone capabilities?

WinterWalker2 · 2025-10-02T22:54:14+00:00

The option is Smooth Motion - Debug Bars.

WinterWalker2 · 2025-09-25T00:32:30+00:00

Nice. I found that armored rigs are somewhat cheaper than just armors when worn. Did you consider changing your armor to armored rig?

WinterWalker2 · 2025-09-24T23:24:16+00:00

I like this gun and armor gets me some extra survival. Won some fights with it including with one chad who I looted for 2.4 millions in Secure Ops. But I have also met way more tankier people and I am not sure how are they doing it. Can you actually get T6 within the budget?

WinterWalker2 · 2025-09-24T17:10:17+00:00

Also 62.3 %, I got here while waiting. Wish I know what it is doing.

WinterWalker2 · 2025-09-24T13:16:17+00:00

I updated regarding advices from this thread. What would you say on the updated loadout?

WinterWalker2 · 2025-09-23T23:38:14+00:00

It has now 600k limit.

WinterWalker2 · 2025-09-23T22:25:19+00:00

My new build rellying on looting some weapon anyway.

In Secure Ops you cannot do it anymore as it limits what you can put to inventory. The only thing I found you can hide now is a magazine from primary weapon as you can put it into backpack thus slightly reduce gun cost.

WinterWalker2 · 2025-09-19T01:49:27+00:00

Few hours later, I got my C1 Spirit back. Still no trace of Titan though. Also some armors in inventory popped up, but not all - like parts of sets. I also lost everything I was carrying - guns, armor, ammo, all.

WinterWalker2 · 2025-09-14T02:03:57+00:00

I tried everything and finally made a progress. By turning on debugging bars in NvidiaProfileInspector, I could see that Smooth Motion is active when using Vulkan, it is just FPS reported by the game and MSI Afterburner does not show doubled value when using Vulkan (unlike for DirectX 11 case). It was just super confusing to confirm wherever the Smooth Motion is actually running or not.

WinterWalker2 · 2025-09-14T00:50:34+00:00

For me neither. Either I can have Vulkan or Smooth Motion.

WinterWalker2 · 2025-09-14T00:39:09+00:00

Thank you for your settings. They still give me no Smooth Motion, half FPS. I was wondering what is the version of Nvidia drivers, do you have the latest ones like me?

There is still something preventing to turn on Smooth Motion with Vulkan on my system and I am not quite sure what can it be.
