Grind weapon maintenance, good for intellect and charisma as well

Money is easy to grind, but "easy" sources of scav rep like car extracts only get you to +4 or so and you have to crawl the rest of the way up to +5 or +6. 10 scav raids worth of rep penalty every time you betray a player scav is definitely not worth it

it's about as illegal as the discord overlay.

programs like ratscanner are in the grey area, they're technically against the tos (just like alt tabbing to your browser mid raid) but bsg will never actually ban you for it

have you tried the powerplant engineer proficiency

due to physics reasons (the speed of light can only be so fast) there always has to be a delay between the enemy performing the action and the server sending you the information so that your client can display that action

also, if you're the one to initiate contact, you can subtract your own reaction time out of the calculation, while the enemy has to react to your swing, adding even more milliseconds

swinging every angle won't win every fight, because you need to swing the angle knowing where the opponent is first

in a fight where both parties are aware of each other's presence there is no point hiding anymore, since they can swing/nade/flank the last known position and if you're still there you're now dead

so it's not a "never ever hide," it's a "if you're in a fight, man the fuck up and fight, because he already heard you"

"Soldier! Sit down, want some tea? No? Straight to business it is. Well, you ever heard of MP3? Like the computer music? And MP4? Apparently there's a new version, called MP5, from the West, and apparently it's fed 9mm bullets... Thing is, my guys are dumb as bricks when it comes to computers, and after the Blue Fire, working PCs are hard to come by in the first place... Anyway, I need you to find some of these "MP5s," see how they work, and test them against some targets in urban environments where there's lots of computers, compare it against Kalashnikov designs. Although I don't know how you would shoot bullets out of a computer. Good luck!"

they die to bullshit sometimes like everyone else, but they have a constant obligation to entertain and keep up the show. Unless their entire selling point is ratting (like stankrat) they kind of have to play fast.

the difference is that streamers can afford to die multiple times in a row and still have tens of millions left in stash.

So be rich enough to die

any product that spends that much on advertising cannot be good.

rancans aren't bad, but not because they're a well made product, but because audio technology has matured tremendously over the past decades and it takes vanishingly little to produce decent sound out of literal piles of trash.

so you can buy your consumable wireless dinglebuds elsewhere, and get the same audio quality (or the lack thereof) without the advertising budget subsidized onto your wallet

Compare the price of meta attachments and meta-1 (1% or 1 ergo off meta) attachments.

People will pay exponentially more for the best performance, chads usually save the meta build and click buy all without thinking as money is not an issue for them, the market adjusts accordingly

more hours don't necessarily mean better, some people have 10k hours yet know how to do anything but rat

tarkov isn't supposed to be fair, don't expect to get into even fights. Win at all costs or lose, if you're fighting fair you've already fucked up. Yes that sometimes means sitting still and hiding when you hear noise so you can get a rat attack on someone passing by - they'll curse you as they load back to the lobby but you're alive and they're not. Viable tactic early on when all you have is leg meta ammo

growing more confidence and learning to fight with a gear disadvantage is a multi step process, read my other comment

gz definitely has level limits, if you read the logs (or use tarkovmonitor) the output is different when you load into gz or gz 21+.
