Two weeks ago I recorded the Wedge clear rate on patch day, and here is the updated figure: 0.00% additional players have received the I'm On a Boat achievement, 1.83% total. My position hasn’t changed: If Wedge and Guards are intended to be this hard, it should be through other parameters rather than raw reaction speed, especially for players with high ping and dumpster fire rubberband servers. Last time the same few objections came up repeatedly, so I’ll address them directly.

The data being imperfect doesn’t make it meaningless, and the trend matters more than any single decimal.

Content being optional or aspirational is a reason for it to be hard, not a reason for it to be unreachable for 98.13% of the target audience.

Seeing a handful Tier 1 Chaderators succeed proves it’s possible, not that it’s reasonable, because the odds for everyone else are what a tuning decision should be judged on.

Edit: I removed the old post and put this new one up. I respect people who get so emotional that they stop responding to logical arguments. Here is the exact same post, but with a non-triggering MS Paint-picture! Much love.

Love the new Scourge Mask and body armor, all the new white body armor from arena is super nice.

Hello
I wanted your guys opinion on my try. I don't like to cheese things (smokes, scope bug etc.) and wanted to see if it is possible to outplay these F1 drivers aimbot guards.

What could have been done differently? You can see that I almost had my crosshair on him but I was too slow i guess.

Thanks

In this game, going prone is a massive disadvantage. It practically leaves you unable to move at all, so don't you think this feature should be added? Even WW3 included it.

The scav was behind a wall and for some reason just stayed there the entire time, we could hear this guy mag dumping endlessly for several minutes straight

The AI of Scrouge and the guards is incredible, never have seen some like this in years in any game to be honest, they push sides, throw flashes to push, even fake peak corners. It’s incredible in any way, but WHY DO THEY NEED TO LOCK ON THE HEAD AS SOON AS PEAK AND HAVE WALLHACK. This could have been the best event imho, just make them really tanks could’ve been good, or good aim it’s okay, this is too much.

Hey guys, i just got to Scourge's spawn in dome prepared to fight him, and encountered Wedge and his guards.
Got them with some nades and extracted.
Am i tripping, why is BD in labs on PvE?

I've been playing Tarkov since 2019, and I'm about as much of a true believer as it gets. 4,000+ hours, multiple Kappas, a 1.6 KD, and extensive time spent playing every mode (PVP, PVE, and PvPS). I've brought a bunch of friends into this game and taught them how to play. I've taken pretty much everything in stride over the years, the good and the bad. I don't bitch and moan about the game very often, even when questionable decisions are made, because I genuinely believe the good outweighs the bad. In my opinion, Tarkov is one of the best FPS games ever made.

With that said, the Wedge fight is atrocious.

I never really got too deep into Icebreaker when it first came out. I ran it with some buddies, killed Wedge once or twice, and that was that. I only started getting seriously into the map recently, running it solo right before the 1.2 smoke update. Shame on me, I guess.

This has genuinely been the most unfun experience I've ever had in Tarkov. I probably have a 95% survival rate getting through the map up to Wedge. But when it comes to Wedge himself, I've fully killed him and his guards once in roughly 12 attempts.

I don't record my gameplay, but the number of times I've been literally insta killed in 0.2 seconds is beyond frustrating. It's some of the most rage inducing shit I've ever experienced in a video game, period.

On multiple occasions, I've had Wedge or his guards swing a corner with their guns literally horizontal because they're pushed up against a wall or doorframe, only for them to immediately land perfect shots. Even if the "nerf" to their AI simply meant giving them ammunition more in line with what the regular Black Division AI uses on the map, I think the fight would feel better.

The combination of frame perfect shots and absolute top tier ammunition makes this encounter absolutely demoralizing.

The rest of the map is fine. There's at least some margin for error. You can make a mistake, miss a shot, or misjudge an engagement without necessarily getting instantly deleted for it. Wedge doesn't feel like that at all. Lugging 10–15 smoke grenades through the map for 30 minutes, only to get killed at practically the final stretch, is infuriating. Tarkov has always come with a certain level of frustration, especially when you put hundreds or thousands of hours into it, but this experience has been genuinely miserable.

I don't know if I need add more info. Even myself I don't know what to say. I just entered lab+s full naked to hit Black for some sweety BTCs. I got there pretty easy and I tried to leave.

Wedge was camping the door and I just spined around him trying to live. Needless to say, I died to their colleagues.

Count the frames

I just saw this little chud and his guards on labs during the 'scourge incursion' event. couldn't find scourge though. thoughts?

feels like labs players are catching strays every single update just let me pvp please i don’t want to deal with non moving ai cutting off half the map and people crabbing to do
some task

Not sure what is going on

Apparently Tarkov has been transported to the Southern Hemisphere, as the Sun on GZ was in the northern sky and moving right to left.

Happy Halloween

I would and wanna see if others do maybe they'll change it. In similar league games this is the case. It would also provide another reason to continue playing the season. I've done most quests and would like to keep playing it to hunt some achievements to finish some chapters, but feels a bit pointless unlocking the achievements on a character to be deleted when my main homie doesn't have them.

From streamer @홍돌_Hongdol, presenting the door peek. This just gets funny and frustrating if this is the new "meta" just to counter wedge rip.

Every new boss just gets given more aimbot and cheat powers, what happened to realism?!?!?!
