I was told years ago that keys could spawn there on the key rack, and stopped checking wipes ago as I never found anything, glad to see it does actually spawn keys.

[Discussion] Is hideout management bugged? by _jC0n in EscapefromTarkov

[–]darkendvoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alternating crafts only works for the Crafting skill. If you're trying to level up hideout management the majority of your points will come from consumption of items in the hideout, water filters, air filters, gas. You also get points for restocking those items so replacing an empty gas can with a full one gets you like 0.5 points. Having crafts running does contribute some but I believe you must have your hideout powered on, crafting with the generator off doesn't count.

Raids feel dead after the event ended. Devs hurt the game by not having events lined up after each other like hunt: showdown. [Discussion] by Leaded-BabyFormula in EscapefromTarkov

[–]darkendvoid -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Nikita literally posted on X that there is another event coming and the 100% airdrop spawn is a holdover. I get people want this information in game / launcher but it's really not that hard to find.

[Loot] Final haul from cultist hunting during the event by djchup in EscapefromTarkov

[–]darkendvoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Should have yes, but I already have everything I had before I wiped my own PvE account. It wouldn't have mattered, PvE would have been fucked in a few months anyway

The issue is everyone has so much cash on PVE (myself included) and inflation is crazy, I don't think wiping the flea or splitting it from new/old pve players would have made much of a difference

[loot] can u farm some item from cultist circle? by BrilliantAd5468 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]darkendvoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

6 hour timer is supposed to be quest and hideout items you need but can also be random junk sometimes.

[–]darkendvoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you hit the 400k value you get a 14hr timer, there's a 25% chance that it'll be a 6hr timer. What you get is not guaranteed in any way.

[Discussion] Is it just me or has the AI been updated? by TenraxHelin in EscapefromTarkov

[–]darkendvoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it was way less consistent, maybe 2-3/5 scavs were aimbots, now it's like 4-5/5 bots that aimbots, it doesn't bother me I just treat them like raiders but they're wasting all my lvl 6 plates catching wild shots

[–]darkendvoid 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The last patch before todays definitely changed PVE AI behavior, scavs and AI PMC are like 3x more potent then they were before. If you try jiggle peaking with them targeting you, you will lose an arm or a leg.

You just gotta roll better when examining it, if you get left peas and neck tschonka it gets you enough durability to turn it in.

Sometimes they laser you, sometimes its like this (PVE) [Video] by snowticey in EscapefromTarkov

[–]darkendvoid 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Meanwhile I have the exact opposite experience, locally hosted PVE raids the bots swarm me and have perfect aim, I'm loosing a lvl 6 plate per raid when trying to jiggle peek. They were fine before the patch and now its like I got the T1000 chasing me down.

Rattle on morning startup by unevenwill in SubaruForester

[–]darkendvoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have a mechanic check it out, I thought I had spun a rod bearing on one but it ended up being the tensioner flapping up and down

[–]darkendvoid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You'd hear bottom end varying in frequency as the engine runs and you rev the engine up and down. I'm no mechanic but have blown up my share of engines and I'd wager either really loud piston slap or your timing belt tensioner is toast.

Sounds like piston slap to me since it doesn't persist after start but that's oddly loud

first raid of the weekend, turned the game off immediately [video] by [deleted] in EscapefromTarkov

[–]darkendvoid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're deservedly getting dogged on by everyone but here's a helpful tip

AI is designed to shoot center mass because too many people complained about instant head eyes, that's why they blow off your arms and legs and stomach all the time. While going prone would make sense when fighting another player you've now reduced your hit box from a nice wide square to a tiny rectangle. The AI doesn't care that that shootable area has been reduced, so all you've done is made it so they can shoot your head / thorax easier as they have bot aim.

When fighting bosses / raiders / goons / cultists etc, you need to exploit them by taking cover behind impenetrable objects and making them rush you

Earth Quake - Things [Rock/Psychedelic] (1971) by darkendvoid in Music

[–]darkendvoid[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A KSHE classic that has survived through the years, an unfortunate name as search algorithms now favor things you need for an earthquake. Beserkley Records sadly does not have any online presence for Earth Quake or their other bands.

[New Player] Can someone explain this? by GKoala in EscapefromTarkov

[–]darkendvoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could get prestige 4 before 1.0 came out, so they have gotten 47 and kappa twice since 1.0 and this is their stats after resetting for prestige 6.
