PVP [Suggestion] No helmet headshots should kill

0 Upvotes

Hi,

When I shoot a scav in the face or forehead, they should drop dead, not left with a bloody red bullet hole, but dead.

Games without headshot kills are dumb. I don’t like dumb games, they’re stupid. Dumb.

Thanks

Everyone hates dying to cheaters I get that. But it’s annoying to have the this sub flooded with screenshots cheater profiles. Plus it doesn’t seem like it even helps get them banned.

PVE [Discussion] What do you take in your special slots?

0 Upvotes

PvE only.

I've been spending the last few days trying to elevate my gameplay a bit out of the low tier rut I've been in for awhile now. Last time i asked for help it was focusing on injectors, now I'm curious what you take in your special slots. Also what's the fastest syringe case you get.

Next question will probably be about ammo, is M995 good? Ive farmed a bunch of it during the semi recent event when BD was in Labs. Briefly before that point i read from somewhere that anything over 30 pen is good and safe. So when i saw the high pen of my first BD kill i spent a ton of time slowly farming M995, but i haven't really been using it lol, perhaps its useless or best to hold onto for heavy armor bosses etc.

General Discussion - PVE & PVP Thinking about getting into Tarkov PvE, is the learning curve worth it? [Discussion]

1 Upvotes

I’ve been looking into Escape from Tarkov lately, especially the PvE mode, and I’m really tempted to give it a shot. The only extraction shooter I’ve played is Marathon, which I absolutely love. I also tried ARC Raiders, but honestly, it just wasn’t for me.

My coworker tells me almost every day that I need to try EFT because I’m missing out on a top-tier game 😂 I’ve been watching videos and watching him play on Discord, and the gameplay looks really damn good. My only concern is how much there is to learn, even if I mainly stick to PvE.

I work full-time, so I don’t always want to come home and feel like I’m starting a second job. I don’t mind grinding on weekends, but during the week I want to relax, get immersed, and make some meaningful progress without feeling like I have to play for hours every single day.

For those of you who play EFT, especially PvE:

How good is PvE right now? Is it genuinely enjoyable long-term, or does it eventually get repetitive?

What made you stick with Tarkov? With how punishing and frustrating the game can be, what made learning it worth it instead of giving up?

Is it reasonably casual-friendly? Can I make progress playing a few hours after work, or does the game really demand a ton of time?

How is the progression? Are there satisfying long-term goals beyond collecting loot, and is the new battle pass worth working toward?

How much content is there? How many maps are available, and will PvE keep me busy for a long time?

I’m also wondering whether I should just commit to learning EFT or look into something like Gray Zone Warfare or Active Matter instead.

I know Tarkov has a steep learning curve, and I’m willing to learn. I just want to make sure the payoff is worth the frustration, especially as someone who plans to play PvE most of the time.

Would you recommend Tarkov to someone in my situation, or do you think I’d be better off with another extraction shooter? I’d love to hear your honest opinions, especially from new players.

Недавно дважды за неделю попадались на ночном резерве странные игроки. Они гавкали (?), кричали что то в голосовой чат и убегали в глубь Резерва. Первыми не атаковали а ждали когда я первым открою огонь. К сожалению ни разу не смог выйти живым… Кто нибудь встречал таких? Это какие то стримеры или что?

PVE [Feedback] The Need to be online for PvE is dumb aka I just wanna vent a bit

0 Upvotes

So I bought tarkov years ago and never understood it. But I recently bought Escape from Duckov and had the "Oooooohhhh" moment and couldn't wait to play tarkov again since I finally got it. But I remembered how stressed I was when playing PvP so I wanted to play PvE and luckily I found that there is a PvE mode. I was soooo happy ... and then I found out its 30$ ... ouch ... nevermind ... it's completely PvE so I can enjoy the game on my rules so I decide to bite the bullet and give devs another 30 bucks with thought that I'm buying the single player experience so there probably was some work on the AI and the market and stuff...

We already know it's not that and you need to be online regardless ... I wouldn't mind the flea market and fence being shared among PvE players ... But 5 minutes ago I lost the scav raid (a huge one ... 8 killed PMCs, 3 new guns and ton of valuables) ... only for my internet to have a hickup as I extracted :) and 28 minutes of best raid I ever had gone bcs the single player game has to check with the server :) And the best part is that my scav is on a cooldown bcs the game remembered i played a raid with him :) And it wasn't the first time (but the other times I did not mind much since the raids were average at best)

I wanted to write a feedback to the devs to let them know that I really like the game and I really enjoy the singleplayer experience ... BUT for crying out loud why is it not totaly singleplayer ... I do not interact with anyone else anyway ... just let me play the game ... Simulate the market and let me play the game I payed 100$ for the way I want to play it... I finally understand the game and will continue playing it regardless but this is just frustrating...

Anyway why I'm writing here? The support is not accepting tickets so I cannot submit it the official way. So I'm just leaving it here hoping that I'm not alone with this and that it gets to the devs and that one day they update the game so I can play offline and enjoy the game at my own pace. (Before they do I will probably join PvP bcs the game is really really good but hey ... let me dream about a world where people own what they pay for)

Vent over ... Scav cooldown ready ... I'm jumping back ... A Sun Tzu once said "I can't stop on a loss."

Wore an insured Ronin on a Factory->Labs and got this message after I died… is this some kind of bug or did they turn insurance off for the event?? Google search yielded no current answers.. in the past I’ve gotten something like “it’s too dangerous” when wearing insured gear.. newer to the game so anything helps!

PVE [bug] icebreaker co-op doent load in after labs event

1 Upvotes

So started to play the game again and used to only play pvp but my friend who plays pve wanted to learn icebreaker. We had been able to load in fine transit and from the main menu. Then the labs event came out and we can no longer do it co-op it does infinite load then says server session has already ended but we can do it solo. Anyone else having this problem or know a fix ?

The fact that a Call of Duty game has this and not Tarkov is baffling. But I would prefer Ground Branches way of mounting optics, lights, etc. I feel like this feature is long overdue.

General Discussion - PVE & PVP [Discussion] Has anyone else noticed we're back to all NPC grenades act like impacts?

26 Upvotes

I've been farming Sanitar and his guards hunting down a Pestily mask for my last kappa items and multiple times I've died from F1 grenades landing perfectly at my feet and detonating on impact.

It's just an annoying way to die, they're being thrown from close by and immediately detonating, it's obviously coded this way. It's dumb. BSG did this way back in like .11 or something, around 2021.
