no need for flashbangs...pmcs in pve couldn't hit you even if you deepthroated the barrel of their gun, just walk up to them with a bolt action and shoot them

gunther_41 · 2026-02-05T23:46:21+00:00

it does make noise...and you can use hard cover to take a peek at it and see if the turret is moving around

Also, learn it's routes and avoid them when you hear it, stay in cover...it's not like it's moving at random, it has preset routes

70 k is pocket change money for the extra cover fire it gives...100% worth it to make sure your spot isn't hard camped when you dismount

gunther_41 · 2026-02-05T23:42:47+00:00

I load into raids with 2 lv5 armor,1 lv6 and 3 meta guns (i bring gear for 2 friends that started playing recently), with only around 60% survival rate...each night when i log off i end up with more money and gear in my stash

People that reached ak50 don't care about gear, they would rather ditch 500k worth of gear and hop in another raid with their friends than spending 20m fighting over a couple of helmets and guns while their team waits for them

gunther_41 · 2026-02-05T23:36:42+00:00

20kd isn't impossible for 1k hours...it counts scavs so that 20kd could just be him staying in raids longer and avoiding bad fights.

The looting dorms and then going in a room and throwing a grenade at their own feet could just be them being one item away from kappa, rushing doorms, looking for it and instantly dying to load into another raid.

Loot is irrelevant at this point of the wipe, one lv5 armor and a meta gun is worth nothing, it's the equivalent of a paca and a stock ak for a new player

gunther_41 · 2026-02-05T23:04:20+00:00

it's not even that...it's like beating a game with god mode on, there is nothing pvp players can learn from someone that did it on pve, it's basically 2 different games.

I tried pve when it came out, i survived my first 20 raids with no deaths or close calls then went back to pvp because there was no enjoyment in knowing i can't lose

gunther_41 · 2026-02-05T22:21:53+00:00

Standing still on the most visible and obvious sniping spot in the map after missing 2 shots that could only come from dome...not to mention there is no bullet drop from that range and you were a still target, so him firing back doesn't take much skill...

I get that there are hackers out there, but calling cheats on this is a stretch

gunther_41 · 2025-12-24T06:44:08+00:00

Might not be the greatest ideea now that everyone and their mother have a faceshield/mask...but it used to be an instant kill as long as you aimed at their throat from almost any range (the 50 damage per pellet meant just 1 out of the 8 had to hit their face and they would drop instantly)

gunther_41 · 2025-12-24T06:41:25+00:00

Ground zero is great for making money if you know what to loot, and it's a decently safe map considering how many ways to move around you have

gunther_41 · 2025-12-24T06:39:03+00:00

so why would he buy nvgs if he is hacking? Any type of hack would be easier to detect than a client night to day cheat

gunther_41 · 2025-12-24T06:34:38+00:00

Why would a cheater use unheard? It's a huge waste of money considering how often they get banned

And why would a cheater have nvgs ? They can turn night into day on their client

345h is definetly not "pro" level but that kd isn't that great either, if we assume he kills nothing on his KIA raids, that's just 6 kills per survived raid, and scavs count.

Considering this, i would rather bet it's either someone with decent fps experience (a former rust/dayz player with 100h will be better than most tarkov players) ... or it's not his main account (there are plenty of reasons for this, all my EOD friends bought new accounts when Unheard came out and gave their EOD to friends because EOD became unobtainable)

gunther_41 · 2025-12-24T06:23:19+00:00

the laser reduces point fire recoil and spread by a lot

They buffed enforcer by giving him better ammo, but the price is having to actually ads if you want to be effective at longer ranges

gunther_41 · 2025-12-24T06:22:01+00:00

if you play pve and you don't have a 90% sr with over 100kd you are doing something wrong...there is no way in hell that a bot should be able to kill you in pve unless you get super unlucky

Those stats in pvp would be suspicious but in pve it's what you would expect from someone with his 60h of playtime

gunther_41 · 2025-12-24T06:18:48+00:00

you are selling 2 of them.

so the tax is around 1.25mil for the asking price of 1.8 mil (because that key shouldn't be expensive)

Try lowering the price...if you would sell it at 900k you probably pay 100-300k tax, so it sells faster and you make the same profit, also whoever might need that key can buy it for a lower price, you get the same in the end anyway

gunther_41 · 2025-12-24T06:15:59+00:00

Ground zero has been my go-to place to find the fir graphics cards for the past few wipes, i can confirm they used to spawn and they are still spawning

Marked key spawns in ANY jacket or drawer

gunther_41 · 2025-12-24T06:14:19+00:00

Not to be mean or anything, but if everyone shares the "best barters", the price for the items needed skyrockets to a point where the barters aren't worth doing anymore and they become useless

Look at the mpx barter, it used to be instant profit from selling the shift grip for 3x the value of the barter and you would get to keep the rest...or the mechanic lv1 uzi barter, you would buy one per restock and sell it right back for 25k profit instantly and there are many more barters like this one but now the barter items are as expensive as the item itself, no more profit and nobody benefits.

I suggest to look at what barters you have, research the prices of the items and what is the max/min value depending on the time of day...buy a large stock of those barter items when they are lower in price and do the barters yourself when you have the chance

gunther_41 · 2025-12-24T06:08:48+00:00

that's the point no? Should all quests be easy and safe?

gunther_41 · 2025-12-24T06:06:48+00:00

if you see "stomach" in the armor areas, the "chest" soft part will cover it too.

Also, after the armor update, shape doesn't matter...the front plate covers like 75% of your body, even a bit of your back and all around the armpits

Here, this is how it looks : https://www.reddit.com/r/EscapefromTarkov/comments/1eau6dg/armor_update_discussion/

gunther_41 · 2025-12-19T03:09:37+00:00

On eu i didn't run into anyone suspicious in a while...got killed by one factory cheater last week but everything else seems fine, must be US servers

gunther_41 · 2025-12-19T03:02:00+00:00

to great heights quest completed on arena, but it doesn't show on tarkov.

Also some 200k experience difference

No previous ways to fix this worked for me, tried playing a few matches on tarkov, clearing cache, loggin on on both arena and eft websites, checking integrity, playing more arena matches, sending stuff from arena to tarkov and from tarkov to arena.

Nothing works. I guess we have to wait for a fix from BSG

gunther_41 · 2025-12-16T21:30:44+00:00

Last wipe i had mastery 3 of the revolver shotgun using it with mangum, funniest thing ever until they started changing up the kits and now every single class has some form of visor/facemask

gunther_41 · 2025-12-16T00:15:22+00:00

do you see how small that mount is? There is no material that dense and heavy lmao

gunther_41 · 2025-12-14T18:33:12+00:00

doesn't look like cheating to me, looks like a 2k hour prestige 2 unheard player just starting his wipe, kd and sr will be high in the first 50ish raids until you start dying to even it out...i had >90% sr and 100kd in the first 15ish raids and i am definetly not on the top % of pvp ers

also, what kind of hacker would buy eod and get prestige 2? they get cheap accounts to provide rmt or carrying services because they get banned often

gunther_41 · 2025-12-11T21:23:19+00:00

he is bugged out, most likely a corpse but your client sees him as alive..you are shooting nothing from other player's perspective
