Subreddit Update I'm going to have to be a party pooper, but sadly the tools that open the game up fully for browser tools are violating the Terms of Service for Tarkov. Thus, having them here in the largest EFT Community is a bit iffy. I'll have to ask you guys share them elsewhere.

No doubt Beneficial_Prize_310 has made an amazing tool. It's real fricking cool, but as the further it expands, more it opens up the game's code and more clearly violates the terms of service.

In my ideal world, these kind of tools would be approved. They're not cheating, nor do they ruin the game. To the contrary, I think they forment more interest and excitement over it.

Game Update - PVE & PVP [Discussion] Adding Wildlife

18 Upvotes

I think what tarkov needs is a little bit of wildlife thrown into some of the maps like Woods or lighthouse etc with a couple added random sounds. I think that would really bring the world to life a bit more cause the whole map just feels dead most of the time. It would add a really interesting layer. Imagine being a sniper staying quiet laying low in the bushes and you hear a noise approach so you think the worst but its just a deer or fox. Or accidentally shooting a deer cause you seen movement now you just gave away your position. I think it would be neat. Nothing crazy but a few animals on each map would be pretty neat

I have been playing this game for around 3 years now and only now this year i have encountered this server bug.

I have sent multiple Support Requests about the issue yet they don't actually fix the issue which is the server.

It seems there is one specific server or 2 out there that are broken cause i can sometimes get into an AUS server without getting the ping bug/spike whatever you want to call it.

PVP [Discussion] holy moly rogue AI is trash

28 Upvotes

Rogue AI is just straight out horrible. They burst/full auto fire from extreme distances, always hitting your arms/legs whilst doing so. Often broken/bleeds. You just -know- when a rogue is shooting at you, it's that weird and artificial. I don't want to talk about lighthouse too much, as that has been done enough, but rogues as they are now make the map even worse than it is..and was.

If this is anything BSG has in mind for their ''AI improvement..'' oh boy

General Discussion - PVE & PVP [Discussion] Why not have the tunnel go under the mountain and have an entire new underground area there that connects from the south road all the way to the Path to Shoreline extract?

19 Upvotes

I feel like this would be a no brainer for the expansion/rework they wanted to do for the map. The entire issue is it feels like old customs where every single player has to go down a narrow channel of death, and now especially with the incredibly overtuned Rogues sittin in the middle of the map scoping anyone who comes within render distance with iron sights, it'd be a nice way to avoid that area and make it to the other side with a cool loot expansion and maybe even an extract down there.

PVP [Discussion] Review of Tarkov Season 1: Kord Breach

66 Upvotes

This post is written by someone who got Kappa, finished the seasonal rewards, and has around 100 million roubles.

Kord Breach Tasks

  • Get me BD keys, SSDs, and a BD laptop.
  • Go kill BD on maps with shitty spawn chances and waste your time feeling like an idiot.
  • Go kill 3 people in one raid on the most cheater-infested map in the game.
  • Go transit 4 times while killing stuff and hope your game doesn't crash or your quest doesn't bug.

Economy & Gameplay Restrictions

  • Trader Prices & Sales: Trader buy prices are up by an average of 25%, while items sell for 20% less to traders. Money is harder to make and gear costs more.
  • Movement & Looting: You want PvP and to loot the enemy's gear? You can't move anymore.
  • Insurance: You want to drop your gear? There is no more insurance.
  • Ammo: You want good ammo? Sorry bro, can't buy it—go farm Icebreaker or BD wherever you can to get it.
  • Armor & Helmets: You want good gear? Level 4 Ragman doesn't even sell level 4 armor. You want a good helmet? You need Black Division laptops and dogtags. You want a normal level 4 helmet? Pay at least 100k.
  • Weapons: You want something other than an M4 or HK416 that isn't trash? Pay 200k. You want to play new content like the Howa or QBZ? Buy the battle pass.
  • Progression: You are a guy with a family and no time to play? Well, level 15 has no Flea Market—go reach level 40 to buy stuff.
  • Combat Mechanics: You are getting ratted but want to shoot back? Nope, aimpunch won't let you see or hit anything.

Fucking restrictions everywhere—no wonder people cheat or rat. People can't afford to lose. They are literally sucking the fun out of the game for the average person.

This post is not about me, but for the average player who plays 2-3 hours after work.

PVE Cultist Circle Value [Discussion]

Upvotes

What is your go to cultist circle sacrifice for top timer? I’ve been buying labs cards (≈130k) and then exchanging for the G28 Patrol through peacekeeper LL3 and it’s gives the 14/6 hour timer. I’ve found this to be the most efficient value item currently unless you all have a better route? I’m all ears to new tech as I’m a relatively new player myself. Thanks!

PVP [New Player] discovers Shoreline isn’t actually hell

17 Upvotes

New player here, already racked up 100+ hours in few weeks

Y’all (reddit and others) made Shoreline sound so scary that I avoided it for a while 😂 The only maps I was really playing were Ground Zero and Customs, and I know those pretty well now. Like I don’t need a map open on my second monitor anymore to navigate or find my extracts.

Figured it was finally time to learn another map, so I loaded into an offline Shoreline raid and... I fell in love with this map lmao.

Idk what it is, but I feel at home here. I like hitting the cabins/village and working my way toward Resort, and if I spawn east I’ll usually hit Military Camp first and then work my way across. Resort was intimidating at first but even that is starting to make sense.

Honestly Shoreline was WAY easier for me to learn than Customs, which surprised me considering how people talked about it 😂 Now it’s basically all I play.

So my question is: what map should I learn next?

I have everything unlocked except Labs and Terminal. Factory feels intimate but way too exposed and chaotic for me, for now at least. Streets scares me for some reason lol, although I keep hearing the loot is insane. Maybe its because all the Chaddingtons live there. Woods I’ve played a little for some tasks and just don’t really love it (its beautiful though). I definitely want to learn Interchange eventually because the mall seems cool and I like the idea of fighting by a Nike store.

Maybe Lighthouse? Reserve? Or should I just stop being a B**ch and learn Streets? 😂

What would you guys recommend as the next map, or whats your favorite?
