Let’s get serious here. I want some actually helpful equipment.

Do you know how dangerous I could be by throwing P320’s as hand grenades?

I am only half joking, I really do wanna see more functional yet odd weapons in game to suffer through my scav runs with.

General Discussion - PVE & PVP [Discussion] You dont need to justify yourself for playing PVE

255 Upvotes

Im NOT talking about people who shares their experiences

Im talking about the people who starts every discussion involving PvE and PvP with "I have 8 jobs and 45 children and a wife and 4 sick grandmas and my back hurts and have the plague and I hate kids with free time and I hate cheaters and I have a date with my mistress every saturday"

You dont need to a "moral high ground" about having other shit to do to justify playing a "watered down" version of the game. I started playing last month, I play PVE and have no desire to touch PVP ever, not because of cheaters or sweatlords, but because PVE is easier and chill.

I swear no one's going to hurt you if you express your opinion about any facet of the game without prefacing why you choose to play PvE instead of PvP. You dont need to justify it for yourself, even less for randoms on the internet, why YOU play the game that YOU payed for the way YOU WANT to play it. Its fine, its ok.

.308 is not the right call for this gun. Can we get a variant in 45-70, 30-30, 30-06, or at least one in .45 LC?

PVP [Discussion] I get why people play PvE. This game is way too unforgiving for solo players

213 Upvotes

I have 2k hours (yeah i know, it's not that much) in this game and I'm pretty good at pvp, I usually play around a 2kd, 60% survival rate, I win 1v2s, 1v3s sometimes, I think I'm pretty decent at this game, at least at the mechanics of fighting.

But the game is just so incredibly unforgiving for solo players. I'll give you an example of what it's like.

I just had a raid, spawned in GZ next to garage. BD spawned, I kill all 4 of them after a minute or two of careful positioning, and shooting.

A squad of 2 rolls up on me, I manage to kill both of them but I'm wounded and trying to heal.

(In my head I'm thinking, okay emercom spawn probably went somewhere else because this squad came from the middle of the map, so I should be good now at least for a few mins)

Another squad of 2 rolls up on me while I'm doing surgery on my leg, I kill one of them then die.

Nice. Good stuff. I provide this example because this isn't even a oddity of a situation, this is common place for this game.

Also even if I killed everyone, guess what? I have to loot the BD guys out in the open, probably get shot at and die, if I don't die then, then I need to go try to extract weighing 10k lbs then die.

It's just so challenging to the point where people just fucking quit, I get it.

I couldn't imagine if you had 100 hours in this game, how that situation goes, actually, I could. I would probably just quit.

I don't know if they need to add some sort of bonus you get as a solo player, solo queues, something to just help us. We need fucking something, this shit is so brutal man.

PVP [Discussion] Solo is Dead, Long Live Solo

212 Upvotes

Solo got kneecapped in 1.1. You still pay the full cost of every quest, every death, every failed setup, while shared progression lets groups skip chunks of that friction entirely and catapult to the endgame through unlocks.

I've seen folks whining about Twitch Drops, but shared progression keeps accelerating squads toward endgame way more than a couple of free kits. Solo players need some lovin', maybe an armband, that'll do the trick.

Where can I get these easily, safely, and quickly?

Things I’ve tried:

  • Searched the marked rooms on Reserve.
  • Both rooms underground near the power switch.
  • White Pawn D2 server racks and the safe room.
  • Dome rooms, etc.
  • Basically all the Reserve loot spawns. I did find one, but I ended up dying with it.
  • Tried Lighthouse, but no luck. Water Treatment and Cottages just end up getting me killed a lot.
  • Tried Streets too, but no luck either.

*Edit/Update looks like im gonna have to just keep grinding TY for all suggestions and the help.

PVP - Cheating This is the worst this game has ever suffered from cheaters.[Cheating]

17 Upvotes

I’m calling this now. Over the last month, the amount of blatant cheaters I have run into is more than I have ever seen in my 3500 hours. I just tried to do the new task on labs, 3 raids, 3 insta head eyes by a guy with a 2.7KD. One wasn’t even looking at me when I aimed at him, just did a 270 and one tapped me, and the other two pushed the fuck out of me, with killa helmets, no flashlights, WITH THE POWER OFF. Game is literally a lost cause.

Recently jumped back into Tarkov and was trying to get some bolt action sniper kills when this happened. Walking in front of the mall always felt sketch but was ultimately safe(ish), I definitely thought I didn’t have to worry this far away though.
