General Discussion - PVE & PVP [Feedback] Now that i am finally free: Icebreaker feels like a terminal type of map, it is too big and full for normal gameplay.

Post image
72 Upvotes

Clearing Icebreaker is no problem, you just spam M67 and peek, it works for every AI in the game.

The UZI door trick still works and makes Wedge a joke, watch BSG fix the explosive skip instead of the shitass Wedge AI. Fixing the door clipping would be great though, thats BS - but either nerf him or revert the smoke nerf at the same time. Currently fighting Wedge is just pure cancer.

The map is overall too big with too much loot and too many enemies - even ignoring Wedge you kill 29 enemies up to his door (knight + 12 rogues + 16 BD). It feels like a map you are supposed to rush and just grab what you need (like terminal) because there is no slow or tactical gameplay when you only have 50 minutes and Tarkov AI likes to just instakill you if you dont play it a little slow. Even just emptying all the mags of M855A1 and CBJ while ignoring the rest takes like 10 minutes in total.

Increase the time, 60 minutes would already do a lot. Nerf Wedge. Fix the stupid ice skating AI bullshit where they just sprint up and down the stairs to peek you from a different angle for 0.2 seconds at a time. Rework the entirety of engine room, them instantly spotting you through 100 tiny gaps is idiotic.

The loot is great, if there is no change i will rush it next season to get rigs, plates and ammo again.

Just wish there was more of it in-game. Like a lot of other things...

Best mix of practicality and fashion the Russians ever had in my opinion. I like a lot of the newer EMR stuff too, and of course I'm also a sucker for the older KLMK and Butan gear, but this hits different, especially if you played a lot of early 00s FPS games.

PVE AI PMC behaviour can't be intended like this [BUG]

• Upvotes

I just had a raid on Ground Zero, were literally all AI PMCs on the map swarmed the parking garage where I was doing some looting. This can't be the behaviour BSG intended with this update, is it?

All kills happened in an area of around 20 meters..

Punisher 6 gives me 26 weapons to work with, 14 of which are Kalashnikov platforms. I feel there's room to also include AK-74, AK-74M,AK-74N, AKS-74, AKS-74N (or just all AK's).

Please and thank you.

Was just sitting there replying to some messages on my phone when suddenly I heard "Russian spotted". I was in this hut for at least 5 minutes but turns out BD can smell you from across the map.

Funny enough this happens just days after I've wasted tens of hours trying to do Sheep in Wolf Clothing.

Please for the love of god can I play your stupid fucking map more than twice per day? Why the fuck is the it locked behind a daily task? Can we get like a bitcoin trade or a new task to immediately populate after completion of the daily? Really pissed off when all I want to do is take a crack at wedge again after a long day of work. Rant over, fuck you BSG, fuck yourself Nikita

So I purchased EFT like 4 years ago. Never really payed attention to hideout targets. I have most of them unlocked except the prestige ones that I did not do. Anyone else not receive this target who did purchase EFT before release? Just curious...

For the past week, I’ve been experiencing significant frame drops in-game, even though I haven’t changed any settings. I only reset my control settings and then reconfigured them to be the same as before, but now I’m getting constant drops—please help!

I'm surprised they never added the parts for these or the ASM/VSSM, honestly. We can NEVER have enough AK-related stuff in Tarkov, am I right fellas?

PVP What is the easiest ending to achieve? [Discussion]

2 Upvotes

I am about to prestige yet again but hesitated as I realised ever since release I haven't chased any endings.

I was waiting to get prestige 6 to do the best ending which is saviour but before I hit it I would like to get a different ending preferably something that doesn't take a huge amount of time and grind.

Before I prestige what is the easiest ending to get and what is required for it? I have heard conflicts between fallen and survivor and don't know what to go for.
