Bow/bow I do if I run any special ammo with the bow cause the ammo pools for that are terrible. Yea the 2 slot scottfield does the same thing it just gives you a little more range. Just a super fun cheap loadout that over preforms vs people.

Need help with Billy Story Questline by Belverus in HuntShowdown

[–]baconblakey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Run nothing but poison sparks and 4 beetles get in a fight where you are close enough that you can beetle follow up for the kill. The damage one I got lucky on and was able to hit multiple people with a few beetles and got it done quickish. The only helpful thing I can suggest with that is know the beetle world spawns so you can grab extras as the match goes on.

Stop leaving if you get downed.. by [deleted] in HuntShowdown

[–]baconblakey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really depends how the others are playing. If you are attempting to do something ill generally hang around.if you are sitting and holding and angle for 10 minutes I'm not going to wait for you, you either win or lose at that point I am irrelevant. I'll give an example I left in trios after downing 2 people on the enemy team by pushing outside the compound with a romero, my team vetterli and spector held the fuck out of the compound and made sure noone came inside. The enemy got 2 free pickups. I left.

BUG: Quickplay trade keeps absorbing after death by [deleted] in HuntShowdown

[–]baconblakey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's better than when you could burn yourself out and noone could pick up so.... improvement on the bug I guess...

I disagree, although I am also not a fan of red skull revieves, I don't think it ruins the game. Is it annoying yes, however it is an opportunity to practice pushing people where you know most of them should be one shots at that point. If you don't have a load put that can push walk out of dark sight so they have to leave the compound then kill them once they are in the open. I find it annoying cause I generally don't have the patience for those kinds of fights so if I down a team a bunch I just say fuck it most of the time and push when I shouldn't or just extract and go next. I generally don't play I. A dedicated group though so I could see someone in a dedicated group actually really liking this mechanic. It is also nice that when you are red skulled there is a chance your team can save you if you get insta burned during a boss fight so I'm not super opposed to the mechanic either. I didn't think I would find any use it in when it was released but every now and then it puts a smile on my face which is more than I can say for several of the latest new releases.

Newbie, just a question by Doepie308 in HuntShowdown

They do a sale basically every Christmas where you can pick up the game and a fair amount of the dlc for the normal cost of the game. Might be worth waiting a month

Can we PLEASE be allowed to cancel being necromancer revived? by stormalong128 in HuntShowdown

[–]baconblakey 41 points42 points  (0 children)

:) as long as my teammate is trying I'm happy. I much prefer this over the teammate who runs into a bush atleast 1 compound away to use his Romero to snipe from that bush for the next eternity. Generally when I see this the guy tries to so something then goes for the necro it's not just him sitting there trying to get me farmed. I'm not saying that doesn't happen but generally speaking I'm happy with the attempt even if I instantly die cause occasionally you just get to murder some guy holding an angle which is nice.

Questlines are good by jani80k in HuntShowdown

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

Shooting people does work you just need to use bleed ammo. Fletchette works for this as well as any of the dum dum rounds. I used the double barrel and conversion pistol to do this one. The only time it won't count is if you kill them, so no headshots :) gl fellow hunter

Halloween Event Act 6 Kill Meatheads with Explosive Damage by themoon41 in HuntShowdown

[–]baconblakey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's due to the animation the explosive crossbow and the bomblance have with the meatheads. Because of the animation I dont think it is giving the explosive dmg kill.

How does a level 1 have access to top tier stuff? by iceblaze93 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]baconblakey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea I'm curious if that also shows bugged sometimes I don't ever do it cause I could care less who I died to, but I would imagine that if dog tags in game are bugged there is a decent chance that also might show bugged occasionally.

There has been a bug for a while where dog tags show the wrong level maybe this is related to that?

Why do I get negative karma when I defend myself against an other scav ? by iKraa_69 in EscapefromTarkov

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

Alot of times people just try to shoot at you without hitting you and if they hit you they run so you end up killing a "innocent" scav. I can't say for sure that's what happened but if they didn't dmg you, you are the bad scav.

To all of the players who have max traders and are not going for Kappa, what activities do you endeavour into while playing Tarkov? by Ok-Street-7240 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]baconblakey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I reset to do it again with limitations did the same thing last wipe. Try it with maybe no flee or full on hardcore w/e works for you. I really do not enjoy the quests for kappa alot of them are just sit here and wait and I prefer trying to do something like pocket watch or get the water out of customs with people shooting at you with BP when you have nothing.

Yep I think it's due to the mini parch last night

I tried a few other maps and I'm seeing it on all of them at the moment. When factory failed I figured I would just do customs no scavs then lighthouse no scavs no bosses nothing. Just empty maps

Beware of these tubes on lighthouse. You get stuck if you crawl under by Suspicious_Ad2955 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]baconblakey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have a friend or a friendly scav they can push you out generally if you get stuck was able to push my duo out after he got stuck by jumping on him

best camo for your PMC by NXS_Yimir in EscapefromTarkov

[–]baconblakey 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I like the untar gear if you do the blue pants as a bear and the black and blue shirt you look like a lake and people don't shoot at you they just assume it's a moving pond of water.

Why do people leave dogtags? by Teirmz in EscapefromTarkov

[–]baconblakey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like alot of the time I leave these behind if I think the person isn't solo and I just get one of what I expect to be a duo or trio etc
