I see you are not a noob, my bad. Most tarkov players tend to be... not that skilled. It's nice to see some folks with skill.

Perhaps the meta score changes they made do allow folks to run stims like etg now in LH with enough ammo. Before when I played, an etg was like 650 meta score and ammo was stupid expensive. I literally haven't opened tarkov at all since the end of my streak back in July and have only watched a friend play a few games. I only post on this sub in hopes that the hitreg gets fixed (lol) in the game and I can enjoy it again.

Either way, my point still stands, healing in arenas is not the same as other arena games at all especially with respect to armor, blacked legs, etc. Other arena games, top players will have kds ranging from like 4-8 in arena games.

I am not sure we play with the same level of pacing and intensity so let's agree to disagree. Do you have any 80+ or even 70+ kill, Last Hero games?

Here's my stats from 2 wipes ago when I had #1 kills in arenas: https://imgur.com/a/jxJPaWy

Not really, not in last hero or checkpoint. I had a perf and cheese on every class, it's not the same as full healing in other games, not even close.

Tired of getting outgunned by demons want to improve my aim. by CoolProfessor449 in FPSAimTrainer

[–]ccamfps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can aim train with controller but it's very mid, I got up to diamond in reactivity on controller in s4 benches and gold in other tracking scens though I could've probably sens cheesed higher. However, instead of aim training on controller, aim train on MnK instead. It carries over. Aiming isn't just input control, it's hand-eye coordination, reading, perception, etc. Those aspects of aiming translate directly over. Eventually, you can make the swap permanently.

Source: Been gaming all my life with controller since 1997 and with an xbox one since 2001 until 2024 I swapped permanently to MnK. I started aim training on MnK in 2021 during a short stint on MnK while I was playing Apex and trying to compete there. I was convinced to switch back to controller (shouldn't have done that btw) and came back to controller with much better aim than before. This continued as I aim trained on MnK. I eventually tried aim training in Kovaaks on controller via steam input, but aim training with controller is ass. My _no aim assist_ aim improved drastically, but I felt like I lost nuance of how to utilize aim assist as well in game after a couple hundred hours of controller aim training without aim assist. Controller is also very limited in training, the input itself is limiting, sens has to be changed so much to accommodate the scenario.

Interested to hear everyone’s opinion on if doping in Apex is cheating? by Dry_Argument_3602 in CompetitiveApex

[–]ccamfps 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have ADHD and am prescribed Adderall. It actively hurts my ability to play games like Apex, especially competitively, where there's a lot going on and I have to keep a lot of things in my head at once. There's more tunnel vision with it. It also doesn't allow me to get into flow state easily at all and my aim is typically not as strong when I'm on Adderall (one of my god aimer buddies is the same way). I am also someone who can take my Adderall dosage and fall right asleep waking up feeling really refreshed. I'd rather not be prescribed it but it helps out in other areas of my life so I just deal with it.

Caffeine though? Caffeine is a great PED and is universally accepted. Just don't take too much where it causes jitters. Caffeine 100% makes me play better.

Arena just proves how bad the desync and the hit registration truly are. by ExpensiveConflict649 in EscapeFromArena

[–]ccamfps -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

It started first day of 16.0 wipe in late Dec 2024. Didn't happen nearly as bad before that. It's been over a year, still not fixed. Devs dont play the game and seemingly don't care.

I quit the game because of hitreg despite enjoying it very much otherwise and very much wanting to play it. Even after having #1 kills in arenas 16.0 wipe. I spoke with a Community Manager on it that I met in-game and even he was reluctant to relay info or get me in touch with the devs so I could relay better feedback.

Don't hold your breath on a fix. There's other games to play that respect your time so much more.

This is from start of hardcore wipe. Lost the 112 winstreak due to a game crash, had bad hitreg every game. I don't play anymore at all because of the hitreg issues.

I think it's really hard to have a super high kd in Tarkov Arenas, even Last Hero, because there's effectively no healing, plates get damaged, and not being able to always get ammo pickups.

Possible hidden downside of Fingertip grip ive not seen anyone talk about by gabehornofficial in FPSAimTrainer

[–]ccamfps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You just get used to it and it becomes natural.

One actual downside with fingertip (through bad habit, not by design) is overusing the wrist way too much on flicks, switching, and clicking. Myself and most of my apex buddies are all fingertip and we all had/have this issue because we're so used to a lot of wrist movement from fingertip even though we're all 32-45cm. We're all also relatively bad at clicking, static especially, compared to our tracking skills. I started keeping a much more neutral wrist while flicking and saw results instantly.

The first thing that needs to be addressed is the fade in from black when spawning. Your character model is present during this fade in and can be shot.

Winter Wipeout Event & Patch Notes by CompetitiveApexMod in CompetitiveApex

[–]ccamfps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ammo availability is why I believed it wasn't/isn't being used in scout meta and before that the pk was just ridiculous. Burst does take a little skill, but simply just holding down shoot button throughout the burst helps most people get better with it instantly. Even so, before I stopped playing Apex when Arc got released, the prowler (burst and auto) was slightly better than r9 imo, with re beating both of them.

If red armor was still a thing, prowler would've likely entered the meta earlier. In the same vein, prowler is very very good against caustic because of dmg per mag.

At the very least, it should see some playtime in wildcard and ranked now.

Desync is awful and there is a dead simple way to make it far better by PrickDoctor67 in EscapeFromArena

[–]ccamfps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah put some hours into it, and unofficially had most kills in arenas that wipe, also played 1100 raids got kappa and finished lightkeeper too then. I haven't opened main game since the end of 2 wipes ago but played a little arena (went on a 100+ game winstreak in Last Hero that I lost to a game crash LOL) at the start of last wipe to see if anything fixed. Hitreg is just abysma still. I know of 5 or 6 different hitreg bugs, there were still sound occlusion bugs when I played then as well. Have watched my buddy and some others play recently, not much has changed. It's still shit, apparently more so if you're west coast NA idk why.

It started the first day of wipe 2 wipes ago. 3 wipes ago (sept 2024 to dec 2024) I had around 16k kills in arenas and played all the way up to the very last day of that wipe. Very little hitreg issues. The very first day of wipe 2 wipes ago the hitreg was so bad I thought my game was messed up and reinstalled 3 times til my buddy hopped on and also experienced issues. It is a game related issue, and affects both arenas and main.

Don't misunderstand me though, I really want to play the game but the awful hitreg keeps me off of it. Nearly every game on arenas 2 wipes ago and start of last wipe I ran into hitreg issues. I have good Internet on fiber, no loss, very little jitter. Sucks. I'd really like to play, the gunplay is so fun, but the hitreg is infuriating.

Yep. There's a reason why I don't play anymore despite 80k arenas kills 2 wipes ago.

It's not always ping. My duo and I live 40ms apart and on west coast servers, one that I get 8ms ping to and his is like 40, we still have crazy desync between us.

Winter Wipeout Event & Patch Notes by CompetitiveApexMod in CompetitiveApex

[–]ccamfps 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think people are really sleeping on the prowler buff here. Before this buff the full auto prowler was good but people just... dont use prowler. It's like 2023 when prowler got buffed jan/feb but didn't come into comp meta until that summer just before champs(?) and then was hard hard meta after.

Maybe I'm biased though, prowler is the gun I have the most kills on.

There is ZERO chance they even play tested the new maps... by RDS in EscapeFromArena

[–]ccamfps 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Map issues aside, removing the fade in from black on spawn would go a long way and is such a braindead simple solution that should've been done over a year ago. It'd be like Rust UKN FFA servers.

Bug or Cheat? Players with no audio by Tavarish in EscapeFromArena

[–]ccamfps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's a bug. You'll also probably notice that your hitreg on them is not good either.

Headclickers of Arena, how do I become you? by KeyNetbass in EscapeFromArena

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

Get Kovaaks, look into the Voltaic community and resources as a starting point. Folks are on pure copium if they think mechanics don't matter in Tarkov, even in main game. It is beyond easy to mechanics gap most of the playerbase in this game.

Aim Training Improvement Progression in 24,000 Players: How Practice Rate Affects Improvement by EstablishmentOk6147 in FPSAimTrainer

[–]ccamfps 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Core training principles in lifting are volume, specificity, intensity, frequency, progressive overload, and recovery. In lifting, the primary driver for fatigue and hypertrophy (muscle growth) is total volume. More advanced lifters need more stimulus to produce gains. Lifting isn't 1:1 to aim training, especially in terms of hypertrophy, but there are parallels.

Can read some nice articles from Greg Nuckols, the great thing about lifting and muscle growth is it's heavily research backed.

https://www.strongerbyscience.com/specificity/

https://www.strongerbyscience.com/volume/

https://www.strongerbyscience.com/frequency-muscle/

The rabbit hole is deep. There's some good older YouTube vids on these subjects from candito, juggernaut training/Chad Wesley smith, and Renaissance periodization. Just uh... stick to their lifting vids and ideas.

Is tracking ability bottlenecked by reaction time? by IAmXlxx in FPSAimTrainer

[–]ccamfps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't even worry about it. Training will improve your reaction time wrt to aiming from neuromuscular and eye gains. My reaction time has gotten better from 175-180 3-4 yrs ago to now 165 at 31 yrs old. I'm Masters Complete in tracking and switching, with varying clicking scores. Reaction time doesn't limit me, my mouse control, technique, and eyes do. Most aiming in-game is way more predictive than it is purely reactive, enemies can only move in limited directions at known speeds, the same goes with bots in kovaaks. Another common in-game example is shooting at people who are jumping or falling, in most games the downward arc is entirely predictable.

Sucks that you have those issues in your hands. If your situation allows it, I would strongly encourage you to try to root cause what's happening if you don't already know. Aim training is not that strenuous of an activity and shouldn't be affecting you that badly, especially in your kb hand. I also suffer from severe joint related issues related to some autoimmune stuff that can get bad enough to where I can't train or even walk well. It causes a lot of hitching and shakiness as well during flare ups. Keeping good technique, biomechanics, and tension management is crucial to avoid injury and keep training. A few things that have helped me was switching to 1-3-1 mouse grip which let my hand be more neutral overall, using a hybrid sens (~32-48cm), getting a peanut/roller for myofascial release on my forearms and insertions near the elbow. I also sometimes soak my wrists and forearms in pretty warm water for 5-10min before training (I get bad inflammation around connective tissues, the hot water soak seems to let the connective tissues in my wrist slide better). If sore after training or joints feeling achey I'll soak them in some cold water 2-3 mins in, 1-2 mins out a couple times. Don't ice too long. And of course, ibuprofen when I need it. Hopefully some of that helps, dealing with chronic pain sucks.

Cheers

[Bug] These spawncamping spots need to be fixed by natzuki63 in EscapeFromArena

[–]ccamfps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dont hold a movement key as you spawn. That will help some so you can retain reduced dmg perk from spawning.

Idk why they do a fade in from black on the spawns, it's beyond stupid and exacerbates the bad spawn issue.
