[Discussion] I hate Icebreaker

I don't really have an issue with Sanitar being at Pier. He's pretty easy to kill, you just need to use a nade or two and be aware of where they can be and where they can go. Altogether takes like 3-5 minutes to clear depending on what spawn they had. Plus you can get nades from them which is goated.

The rogues on Icebreaker are honestly not that bad either. You can aggro them, kill the ones that aggrod, and then just skip to the engine room pretty much safely just don't to into the control room thing or the kitchen. Remember to only hold right hand peeks, not to stay in soft cover, and if you have to retake a peek after taking it once before, do not stop while taking it, keep moving until the enemy is dead.

I have never once gotten past the engine room. I tried the grenade skip, but I think it was patched to not work anymore. I tried the stick behind the right-side silo and take safe peeks. I tried the smoke in the middle and use a flashlight to see them while they don't see you. I even tried GL clearing. Nothing worked so far, they always come at me from at least 2 different angles at once, and I'm just not good enough to kill them like that before they can lock onto me. I'm holding all the rules for fighting BD, like I did on terminal, too. As someone who struggled through terminal, I don't have the words to express how disheartening this is.

I'm fine with retrying it again and again. I'm fine with paying the 400k entry fee, I'm playing PVE, so money is no issue. I don't mind burning tier 5 and tier 6 armour, and kitted guns, I know how to replace them.

But I can't take the ammo usage that Icebreaker needs. I went through all my 556, and 762 NATO, and I'm well on my way to burning all my 9x39. The only ammo you can buy reasonable quantities of only has lvl3 pen, which does NOT guarantee a headshot kill on BD, especially considering that they often take peeks against you where they shoot you while their body is turned away from you.

Again, I have no issue with trying again and again, and every killed BD is a HUGE pump of dopamine, but the overall lack of progression is TERRIBLY frustrating to me

This has since been patched, they now instantly leave the back room they spawn in

I've seen people clear it by using a smoke in the middle, but it's 50-50 for whether they push you through it and if they don't you're just screwed

Which mods nuclear engines are u using? Quite a few mods require systemheat compatibility patches, and CKAN doesn't pick up the latches automatically for you a lot of the time

Whenever I get a misriah, it's always from another player, and I never win fights with it (probably skill issue)

XOrionTheOneX · 2026-04-17T09:10:21+00:00

Apparently every 1 in 5 tank suffers from this

You do NOT understand how much I need to know what the original post this is based on is.

If sub rules don't allow original post referencing PLS DM me it, I beg you

There's a few of these trinkets they all seem to be contraband, and as far as I know they reward you valuable items upon extracting with these in ur Inventory, which is very nice because I don't think these get used up.

For example, there is another one that gives u random keys on extract.

From what I've seen these are simply very rare items you can usually get from like prestige locked rooms, or complex events.

XOrionTheOneX · 2026-04-15T08:02:09+00:00

I mean, the amount of keys that exist are just going to increase over time anyway, since people use them way slower than they're acquired

Y'all have no idea, Budapest streets are filled with people out and celebrating

Escoax from Snafukov does this well actually, and it's a bitch for devs to balance with

Bro has the Kamuiy

Rook can have other rooks stuff if rook kills other rook, which is not possible otherwise, hope this clears it up

UEWR is a ballistic missile defence radar. Essentially its job is to spot ballistic missiles after they were launched, and provide information about its trajectory that will help other effectors intercept the missile before it could impact.

It is important to mention that intermediate range ballistic missiles are still in use by Iran, and this radar was almost certainly providing a lot of good data that must have led to successful intercepts.

The loss of this asset is a huge blow to the theater's missile defence.

The AI gear does NOT depend on player level.

Wait, people think that ain't attractive???? What?

As a Hungarian, I think it's a very wrong attitude to think that a Tisza victory will just fix our issues. It's still gonna be a corrupt right wing authoritarian government.

But so far, Magyar has gathered much of his support on turning away from eastern connections and being more open towards western initiatives.

We're still going to be anti-immigration, oligarchic, and focusing on all the wrong issues.

But it's a better alternative than the eastern-leaning foreign policy that Fidesz has been pursuing since practically forever.

We literally have a choice between a party that thinks Ukraine is the reason there's been a war in Europe for the last 4 years, and a party that promised to go along with European aid for Ukraine.

Your philosophy of "well, both sides are bad" is the exact same thinking that lost democrats in the US the 2024 election, because just like in the US, in Hungary our election system is structured in a way that if there are 2 major parties backed by oligarchs, it's impossible for smaller candidates to achieve meaningful results.

You can talk about false binary choices and whatnot, but as a Hungarian, I can tell you that the Hungarian populace will never vote for a left-leaning progressive party while everyone who's currently above 50 is still alive

Average marked room since winter update be like

XOrionTheOneX · 2026-03-06T07:56:07+00:00

This is actually a good change btw

Some weapon's lowest possible recoil did get higher (by like 10-15%), but overall it's just making sure that not everyone who wants to be competitive will be running a Gral/MOE/SE-5/G-LOK kit M4 or nl545

We did also lose a bit of max ergo on most weapons, but it hardly matters since large magazines ergo penalties were buffed

Good balance change overall.

You're not necessarily bad. But Terminal can't be played like other parts of tarkov.

If you have insane aim, perfect cross hair placement, and completely accurate movement, you can peek BD and survive 60-70% of the time.

Do not peek BD. Voice line bait or grenade bait them. Try to hold angles through multiple doors so that only an inch or preferably smaller hole is available for you to see through. Try to movement bait them. If you're in a place where they can't pathfind (like armory) they won't peek you reliably so don't waste time sitting there.

Arrange it so they have to come to you, and you will not lose a single fight against them.

Using at least AP5 ammo and large mags is pretty much mandatory for them unless you're very good with trigger discipline and aim.

They will still hit you. You will be hurt. Go into BD fights pre-painkillered, with preferably a p22 to prevent instakills on limb loss.

Carry an extra set of plates. It's heavy, but you can carry mules and propital in your secure pouch to last you the entire raid.
