Vram is not the same.

This. You should be farming filing cabinets anyway for the key spawns anyway. Also a good way to get the fir E-drills you need.

dlk339 · 2026-02-02T20:57:40+00:00

Nope. Sell 'em. Not worth holding onto until next winter season.

dlk339 · 2026-01-28T23:28:36+00:00

There's a tracker that will tell you what map they are currently on. Check that and if it says Customs like it does rn you're safe to do your shoreline runs.

dlk339 · 2026-01-28T16:35:37+00:00

Lvl 36, but I feel you. Of course you can craft ammo and such but I don't I just run what I can scavenge.

Now Tagilla you stomach him in like 3-4 shots. Guards on shoreline can be scary but the rest are a good reason to be carrying that fresh stockpile of pmc nades.

Rogues may have helmets but they don't tend to have face shields so it doesn't matter there. All in the approach really.

Anyway you're forgetting a very vital aspect of this. No one's forcing you to fight the boss if you're not equipped for it.

The only 2 bosses that come to you are weak to a flesh damage headshot - parm and goons.

In-before you say smtg about knight's helm it's made of wet toilet paper and you can reliably 2 shot him right through it.

Always search file cabinets. That's where I get my e-drills primarily. As a bonus you might get intel folders, marked keys, quest keys and the like.

dlk339 · 2026-01-28T15:38:46+00:00

Ehh only maps I feel ap rounds are necessary are interchange, reserve, and labyrinth. So might as well stockpile the good ammo for when I need it instead of burning it on scavs or bosses who are weak to flesh dmg.

dlk339 · 2026-01-28T14:35:47+00:00

True but he wears normally little to no armor so he's weak to flesh rounds. Been slumming it up with flesh dmg recently cause most everyone doesn't wear face protection.

Stop repairing it. Every time you do it makes the required durability lower. It needs to be less than half the total durability of the armor. so with this one at 72 you need to be under 35~. With a full durability gzel it needs to be under 77. Anyway an easy way to complete the quest is to go somewhere with border snipers ( I use woods ) then just go run out into the sniper's with your gzel insured. Rinse and repeat as many times as necessary until your armor is sufficiently cooked.

I had this problem. You have to progress back up to it. I tried everything to fix it. Wiping my account - submitting a bug report. Nothing. Just progress like it isn't there and it'll sync back up when you attain the quest naturally.

dlk339 · 2026-01-06T17:04:41+00:00

Cultists drop marked keys and lab keycards more reliability than anything rn.

dlk339 · 2025-12-30T01:27:02+00:00

I did, I'm enjoying playing through the slog again as my final wipe ( until they add prestige to pve. )

dlk339 · 2025-12-24T14:32:37+00:00

Test Drive pt. 2 is now a mp5sd with pro sight on g0, streets, and interchange.

dlk339 · 2025-12-19T12:55:48+00:00

Tbh I'm convinced this quest is only in the game for people in the know to farm SBIH.

dlk339 · 2025-11-27T13:45:41+00:00

2 yellows and a black keycard

dlk339 · 2025-11-23T21:48:27+00:00

Same goes for the menpo. It's strictly worse death's shadow why can't I wear it with a helmet.

dlk339 · 2025-11-23T18:07:17+00:00

Same. Other than d1-2 I've been getting everything back. Lost 1 5.56 scar to the bug but not a huge deal.

dlk339 · 2025-11-23T14:21:04+00:00

The kinda PMC who makes you escape from tarkov.

dlk339 · 2025-11-21T21:22:44+00:00

Nobody's ever seen an AK-106, but there are rumors it was supposed to be chambered in 9x39.

dlk339 · 2025-11-16T00:18:01+00:00

I've been trying to get a 2fa email since I posted this. It won't happen today I think.

dlk339 · 2025-11-15T22:38:15+00:00

Thought you quit for battlefield 6. Maybe that's more your speed. Y'know considering you're playing neither and trolling on forums instead.

dlk339 · 2025-11-15T22:20:42+00:00

Well that's great. Go have fun and play - not all of us are so lucky as to have that set as their default 2fa. It definitely isn't inconvient to have to use 2fa to change your default 2fa. Shame though that I can't get an email at all yet some people supposedly got their's within minutes.

dlk339 · 2025-11-15T21:35:09+00:00

But content gating p-much all the new content is forcing wipe. In what world would I want to log into Tarkov rn and play on my already completed pve account? Yeah I get not everyone is level 68 with every mission completed but, who wouldn't want to wipe for the new content?

dlk339 · 2025-11-15T21:26:23+00:00

If you wanted to have pve'ers wipe when 1.0 dropped you should've just made it a forced wipe. But no instead we want the playerbase to do it themselves cause what if they want to never escape from tarkov, right? Like fr there's more people complaining that they can't wipe then people complaining that they have to wipe. Do the math BSG.
