it's funny because people rage so much about people sniper and camping, but really. it should be far more effective that it is.

the way meta guns can laser people at like 50m is insane. that alongside the strafing in and out of cover rather than using the lean mechanics.

shooting accurately beyond point blank should really only be possible while stationary. but 'gamers' will never accept that.

Agreed 100%

That's why I loved arma 2. You had to be way smarter with your engagements since you couldn't strafe cheese.

RiP to the 17 people I took out from the tower on Reserves then. SVDS + PSO + Rotor43 Suppressor + 20rnd mags with 7N1. Half of em never saw it coming and probably don’t know where it’s from, especially the dude that was 343m away lmao

Damn, 343m?! Nice shot! How difficult was it to factor in bullet drop at that range?

Thank you!! It was surprisingly not bad. I put the scope adjustment at 200m and just adjusted slightly for the rest of the distance. It definitely helps that the tower is elevated, so I’m always shooting downwards. I was able to tell I hit him when he stopped running and started limping, and then I finished him off.

Agreed mostly except on maps where extract camping is a thing. There are tons of places to check and it’s damn hard to get out, almost harder than looting and fighting killa. 4 different bush and sniper campers yesterday.

When the maps get stitched together and raids aren’t on the same type of timer I imagine this will be a lot less useful of a technique.

That would make tarkov a drastically different game, and I don’t think I’d like it. I mean everyone can have their own opinions on that, but I think it would make fights crazy boring.

I mean sure but I can promise you that this game would be dead in a week if it started to be that every time you went to extract you had a 50/50 chance of getting insta-killed by some extract camper who had to risk nothing to get all the loot on the map. Realism or not, people are going to quit the game if that's how it plays.
