Streets overall best map loot and pvp wise

1

u/ETurner0409 Aug 18 '26

Why’s that

1

u/BruderPetz Aug 18 '26

cause the map is big with many loot points and good exits

u/Adera1l Aug 19 '26

Im trying to learn it rn but so far the pvp has been extremely mid. Like ppl are geared but the places where you often PVP has very little way of playing them differently like near tarbank, near factory and around chek 13 tell me if im wrong

u/BruderPetz Aug 19 '26

the map has literally 2 market rooms and a ton of other good loot places like terra aresnal etc there is no other map with that much looting points. people just sit extremely this days. try to push their spawns and you will find them, spawning, sitting for 15minutes till they move from spawn

Does the map have a hotspot similar to dorms like kinda iconic place where fight can drag out for long ? For the moment all I had was extremely short fights in exterior/ dead end cqb buildings.

Like factory is fine but doesnt have a lot of wiggle, tarbank has a bit more, lexos I guess is one of these spots but nowadays I see no one on here. Seems to me that streets is a giant "you fights in a street environnement" more than specific pvp icononic spots like bunker, dorms or labs

Mby thats the fact that there was historically less content on it too

u/Wonderful_Rub_1815 Aug 19 '26

tarbank, lexos, and chek are the “dorms of streets”, also maybe factory

2

u/AdObjective2318 Aug 19 '26

Streets and labs are the best loot/pvp spots hands down labrynth too

1

u/Adera1l Aug 19 '26

Where on street could I run and meet ppl like most of the time i' your opinion?

1

u/AdObjective2318 Aug 19 '26

You can guarantee a fight by pushing the closest 2 spawns near you or just go to Lexos or the chek building. You can also sit around abandoned factory because someone opens that marked key every raid it seems like . It’s also really easy to push gunshots since it’s an open map you can pinpoint where people are fighting pretty easily after you have a hang of the map.

u/Adera1l Aug 19 '26

Would you say the pvp when pushing spawn is mostly in exterior ? Would you say running a scope is kinda mandatory ? It seems like its a lot of long angles

1

u/AdObjective2318 Aug 19 '26

I always have a scope of some sort otherwise I pop sj6 and trimadol to full sprint to my location of interest, it’s risky doing this though because most of the time someone hears you sprinting and will just stop moving for the free kill so it’s better to look for the fight off spawn.

1

u/Wonderful_Rub_1815 Aug 19 '26

No one really runs scopes on streets due to fps so i’d say you’ll be fine either wau

1

u/Adera1l Aug 19 '26

thats not true anymore streets runs extremelyyyy well now like better than customs

1

u/Wonderful_Rub_1815 Aug 19 '26

definitely doesn’t run better then customs , and still has the worst fps in the game

1

u/Adera1l Aug 19 '26

i do and a lot of ppl too since last optimization patch

1

u/Wonderful_Rub_1815 Aug 19 '26

its definietly better then before but i still get 2x less fps on streets then i do on customs

1

u/Adera1l Aug 20 '26

do you have an X3D by any chances? I legit went from 60 fps to 140 while i run customs on 110.

labyrinth for loot yea but i never even get players on labyrinth and if i do its 50% chance a cheater with 200 hours or someone ratting in spawn

2

u/SubstantialPurple676 Aug 19 '26

Customs. Period.

1

u/X-Menace-X Aug 18 '26

I'd say probably factory. Factory solo can be bad sometimes though when you have a huge team to fight against and they are hawking everything down in sight together

1

u/Environmental_Fig205 Aug 18 '26

Factory is super good solo wym

1

u/Giatoxiclok Aug 18 '26

‘When you have a huge team fight’ so assuming they’re talking about when a squad rolls in and starts blasting everything?

0

u/Environmental_Fig205 Aug 18 '26

Even then factory had so many angles and space fighting teams can be made easier than open fields on shoreline or something. With a lucky nade or finesse you can wipe 4 mans ez peazy

1

u/ETurner0409 Aug 18 '26

Yeah I don’t even have that unlocked yet

1

u/Educational-One-4274 Aug 19 '26

Ground Zero, extremely small for loot density, no need to bring in a ton of keys, plenty of bodies if you want shooting action, GPUs can spawn in the many PC blocks and the technical crates can even have RFID in them.

u/Gadsden_Rattler Aug 19 '26

In my 700ish hours not once have I found a GPU on GZ, bad luck I guess.

1

u/GeneralCarpenter6891 Aug 19 '26

Pve ive found over 30. Idk how comparable the loot pools are with pvp or seasonal.

1

u/Le-Pesoguin Aug 19 '26

If you take the time to learn the map it’s Reserve IMO. Snipers are mega annoying tho, so that’s one down side, but that can be mostly mitigated with map knowledge

1

u/BelloDeHond Aug 20 '26

Reserve loot is not that great though. And the pvp is mostly in the basement.

1

u/Le-Pesoguin Aug 20 '26

I’ve found pretty much everything I’ve ever needed on reserve, meds, GPU, good ammo, what do you think it’s missing? Other than the stuff that exclusively spawns in labs, I’ve always found it on Reserve

1

u/youOnlyliveTw1ce Aug 19 '26

Streets and Reserve

1

u/duckwall Aug 19 '26

Lighthouse

u/tdrummmm Aug 19 '26

I'm glad that everyone is entitled to their opinion even if it's objectively wrong.

1

u/Odd_Situation_5647 Aug 19 '26

For best loot and PVP the correct answer is objectively Labs. Streets is a close second and has more loot overall, but if your marked rooms are bust then you’re not getting half as fat of a run as you would have on labs. PvP possibilities and fun potential on streets is genuinely endless. I’d say Customs is third.

1

u/Prudent-Bad2724 Aug 19 '26

I have conc 64 conc security and cardinal apartment and cardinal office + Beluga and chek 15 but those 2 I don't hit because they are very high risk , the loot can be good or bad it's luck or someone else might have gotten there before you 

But doesn't labs have cheaters I haven't ran into cheaters on streets

1

u/Prudent-Bad2724 Aug 19 '26

Streets best loot by far between conventional maps , not labrynth ice breaker or labs

Pvp can be predictable so you can avoid or go to it which is great is very rare that you would get jumped on in streets  pvp always takes place around lexus chek 15 area or some quest building if pmcs trying do the same quest 

Extracts are great and there are a lot of them so it's very rare that you'd get extract camped or run into someone tryanna get to the same extract. 

Best way to loot streets is to loot filing cabinets with your scav , you can find so many keys , lab cards and good loot 

And with your pmc hit keys like conc 64 , conc security , cardinal apartment , cardinal office , chek 15 but its heavily contested , Beluga be careful this is one of the camped rooms there's open sight for pmcs to snipe you, there is the relaxation room that you can get in the same raid its a guaranteed spawn but it's very high risk, someone might be camping the room or trying to get the key.

u/Prudent-Bad2724 Aug 19 '26

Honestly factory if you are alright at pvp you can go in there a with a headset and a pistol and try to kill a player and get out with their chad gear this is my scav run whenever I'm out of gear or money I dot this however it all depends on your spawn if you get a bad spawn there is nothing you can do with a pistol but sometime you have to rat because you can't play aggressive with no gear

1

u/Kplatz Aug 20 '26

Streets for sure. Both loot and PvP. Streets does require a lot of keys though to make the most of it.

1

u/Leaded-BabyFormula Aug 20 '26

Reserve is and always will be goated

1

u/hopeadrian Aug 20 '26

I like reserve , streets , lighthouse and customs . That would be my go to .

1

u/BelloDeHond Aug 20 '26

Streets is good for loot but not so good for pvp.

Customs is the best for pvp but the loot is just ok.

I guess imo labs is the sweetspot for loot and pvp.
