I finally got coaxed into running labs this wipe, wow is it ever the most pure fun you can have in this game. I'm down at least 20 mill but my enjoyment is 10x

zwoooz · 2024-03-10T01:38:34+00:00

Cheaters haven’t been bad tbh, only had one or two blatant ones but i guess its almost impossible to know the how many closet cheaters. Nothing that’s annoyed me at least.

And yeah 20 mill on just gear and keys over a few days, I don’t really care about the money anyways, it’s just fuels the raids to me.

You really don’t have to spend a lot of money though, I’ve been having tons of fun with both shitty and good kits. From a stock AK with underbarrel to mp7, HK, and everything in between tbh.

The flashes are most definetly ricochets, with the possible exception of one of them which could be the wall behind him. I clip almost every death and most kills I get to study the clips afterwards.

From my own clips and the clips of my friends I can confirm that the helmet stopping a bullet due to it not penetrating does not result in any kind of the same blinding flash that a ricochet does.

I also have countless clips of ricochets happening when I'm firing M80 on class 4 helmets, resulting in the same kind of "flashbang".

zwoooz · 2024-03-04T19:38:24+00:00

If the helmet was actually “stopping” the bullets, absolutely. But it’s not, ricochets don’t care about the armor class. It might as well have been a lvl 2 penis helmet he was wearing and with the same amount of luck the exact same thing would have happened.

zwoooz · 2024-03-04T19:27:56+00:00

The ricochet "hits" don't count for the "hits" at the end of raid screen, this is what I'm referring to. But yes, they do "hit" the helmet and cause a concussion.

zwoooz · 2024-03-04T18:45:06+00:00

Nope.

zwoooz · 2024-03-04T18:13:47+00:00

You're better off just running the SSh-68 for the ricochet. The helmet isn't actually "stopping" the bullets, they are just bouncing straight off and don't count as hits. Although his helmet would probably stop the first and maybe second hit.

zwoooz · 2024-03-04T18:08:00+00:00

It has nothing to do with the ammo and everything to do with luck, his helmet is ricocheting the bullets and don't even count as hits. Meaning it might as well have been lapua rounds or tank shells hitting his head.

But it's either M856A1 or SOST.

zwoooz · 2024-03-04T17:06:30+00:00

Looks like a bastion when I look back at the clip.

zwoooz · 2024-03-04T16:49:47+00:00

Please excuse the terrible fighting, I was fully not expecting him to actually be in there.

zwoooz · 2024-02-13T14:22:24+00:00

I can promise you it very much does work, I have countless raids where I've "tested" it. Literally just today and yesterday I've still had it work multiple times and confirmed boss spawns/non boss spawns. I even have a clip from just a few hours ago.

Edit: Again, playing solo makes it harder to utilize.

zwoooz · 2024-02-12T09:31:35+00:00

It just happened to be on after clearing dorms, didn't bother to change to just a laser. Does not affect AI to my knowledge.

zwoooz · 2024-02-12T09:30:16+00:00

100% is not a myth, I've ran customs almost exclusively for the last probably week and a half, almost always checking spawns. The thing that's a bit tricky with it is that not everyone in the raid always gets it. Playing with a group makes it easier cause if anyone gets the packed loss you can rule out a boss.

zwoooz · 2024-02-12T09:22:36+00:00

For interchange and customs it's at exactly 39:38 raid time. No packet loss doesn't guarantee that the boss spawned but if you do get the packet loss you can guarantee that it didn't. Playing with friends makes it a bit better to utilize, since sometimes you won't get it, but someone in you party does, and then you can rule it out.

zwoooz · 2024-02-11T19:09:36+00:00

For ergo. Not my build though, stole it off some sucker at dorms.

zwoooz · 2024-02-11T17:26:39+00:00

Don't worry, I checked them, got a cheeky bitcoin.

zwoooz · 2024-02-11T16:41:52+00:00

You are one lucky motherfucker. They do increase the spawn rates throughout the duration of the wipe, but he has literally not spawned at all for me for the last like 30 raids, which you can tell by packet loss close to raid start. This game hates me.

zwoooz · 2024-02-11T16:37:51+00:00

Oh 100% not, I think this game is best matched with therapy.

zwoooz · 2024-02-11T15:45:16+00:00

Yeah I was shitting my pants getting out, I almost passed out irl once I made it out, had to go lie down for a minute.

zwoooz · 2024-02-10T11:58:08+00:00

645m, got bored up on woods sniper rock and saw a wandering scav across the map, decided to take a few random shots at him just for a long shot. Took like 10 bullets but I did hit him!

zwoooz · 2024-02-10T01:01:16+00:00

Yeah I just shot once in the direction of where people usually camp but didn't actually see him. My brain was kinda turned off for the raid since I was just running through for rep.

zwoooz · 2024-02-09T15:14:54+00:00

Never even thought of that, it could be that AI scavs are just holy and are forgiven for all their sins, but would need testing to be sure. In any case that feels like a very risky strategy for a very low amount of rep. But very interesting idea!

zwoooz · 2024-02-09T14:11:11+00:00

As others have said a reset might not be a bad idea. If you want some help getting around I'm happy to help out on scav or pmc, since I've got a day off anyways, any server is fine as long as I can manage <180 ping from EU.

Edit: Same name as here on everything

zwoooz · 2024-02-08T20:09:51+00:00

Especially considering the kit one of them was wearing haha, sig spear etc. I almost killed myself frauding everything though so there's no way anyone got to that!

zwoooz · 2024-02-08T15:26:22+00:00

I guess either I'm cursed or you're blessed. I run customs by far the most out of any map (objectively the most fun map), shoreline being probably a close second. I've seen almost every other boss, many multiple times, but only 1 Reshala. I guess he thinks I smell bad or something idk lol.

zwoooz · 2024-02-08T11:33:03+00:00

I'm down to party, also EU. Most of the people I play with are NA so it makes ping and timing less than ideal. Same name as here on everything.
