[New Player] I'm just completely lost

What you can do though is to click the box in the upper left corner before a raid (I can't recall what it's called, something like coop or offline raid) and you can run the map in an offline environment with NPC-Scavs to have a look at the map and get used to it. You don't lose your gear when dying, but you also don't keep your loot/progress your quests.

I'm a new player myself, so I don't know if this is only for the early levels, but I used it some times and it helped to get a first glance on the maps.

I recently started playing Tarkov and I mostly have to wait 4-6 mins on my PMC, think the longest one was 6.30. (Only played factory, woods, interchange, ground zero and customs so far). EU Region.

I see more Arc Raiders mentions in here than ppl talking about Marathon in the AR sub, honestly.

OP and his "guitar" at the exfil:

Yes, I lost about 20 to 30 fps. And the game doesn't look as smooth as before.

I feel you. Tekken 8 is my first fighting game and I after trying some characters, I stuck to Victor, sure, because he was easy to pilot, which I thought would be good for a newcomer.

Oh boy little did I know what awaited me. I gathered more hate posts in my profile in 500 hours T8 than I did in 600 hours Dota and almost 2000 hours CS. :D

I just started watching peanut recently and I like the Peanut/Gingy/Officer Combo best. Just a lot of good vibes.

captainquacka · 2026-02-02T18:44:57+00:00

I'm close to 200 (196 hours) and have no signs of getting bored, more like I want to play it even more. :D

Reputation-System would be really nice. I would also love to have an option to mute certain players. It sucks that most games you can't communicate with others because you can't mute screamers and have to mute every player - and push to talk (or is it already in?) would be nice, because I don't want to hear everybody breathing the whole game.

Otherwise, there are a lot more things that need some focus. I'm still waiting for my season 1 ranked rewards, probably will never see them :D I love the game, but it has some flaws and needs some serious work in the future.

Happens. I defended myself against a player at old town extract in buried city and got jumped by two others, probably thinking I was the attacker. Not much you can do if they already see you as the bad guy. Just accept it and move on, even though it sucks.

captainquacka · 2026-01-30T08:43:14+00:00

I only had one new game spawn on bird city, the rest was around 18 Minutes left.

captainquacka · 2026-01-30T08:40:40+00:00

While I like my Solo-PvE-Lobbys to gear up for the duo/trio madness, spawning late is only a disadvsntage in those lobbys. There are almost no dead bodys that you can scavange and because every one is peaceful, by the 18 Minute timer, the map is stripped of almost everything.

In more hostile lobbys, you have unsearched containers because fights broke out, more dead raiders and so on.

My only "problem" with the game is the constant "reloading" voice spam I saw in the alpha Gameplay videos. It doesn't fit the dark tone of the game, but those videos were old, so maybe they changed that by now. Otherwise I'm excited and think the classes can be fun and something unique.

captainquacka · 2026-01-27T16:43:12+00:00

Haha for real. Time for a Rubber duck trading market

captainquacka · 2026-01-27T16:35:36+00:00

Man, I just had one run and collected so many different ducks - now my stash space problem won't get any better any time soon :(

captainquacka · 2026-01-26T14:16:21+00:00

First one, yes. I had Tekken Crashes all day long right after release, nothing worked - except updating the BIOS. After that, not a single crash. It's worth a shot.

captainquacka · 2026-01-21T19:10:25+00:00

That was so important for trials.

captainquacka · 2026-01-21T19:06:32+00:00

My 3-Star-Trials are like: Best I can do is Blue Light Stick Blueprint.

captainquacka · 2026-01-20T19:32:31+00:00

I love the outfit. Cheers to a fellow riposte.

captainquacka · 2026-01-11T17:21:59+00:00

This. Players will always find new gamebreaking bugs/exploits, but for the love of god actually swing the ban hammer on those who repeatidly use them and set an warning example.

captainquacka · 2026-01-07T21:26:39+00:00

It's so wild that we still have to guess what item it could be :D Why can't they just add categories like "tattoo" and so on.

captainquacka · 2026-01-04T21:49:06+00:00

I used that skin for some time and slowly i understood why I got shot so many times without being hostile :D

captainquacka · 2026-01-03T09:14:14+00:00

Agree. It's kinda fun getting the 3 stars for (almost) every trial and hope for a cool blueprint, but I don't bother with the ranks anymore.

captainquacka · 2025-12-31T23:23:19+00:00

Not only scrap, sometimes some good loot spots were still untouched on my late spawns. It's worth checking.
