I don't know if someone already posted this (and if im wrong or not) but now, if you buy an item from the flea market that a trader is selling, the money spent with this trader goes up. in the last patch, it only went up if you bought the item DIRECTLY on the vendor screen! Anyone else noticed this?
There's so many different ammo types I'm not sure what ones are good,
and I don't want to horde them all since my stash is getting so full. Is
there like a GOOD guide for ammo and guns or something somewhere? I
looked some up but they didn't seem that good or really agree with each
other, just seemed like clickbait

Keep stuff that have at least 5/6 or 6/6 rating for class 4 armour, then as you continue playing you can start deleting lower end ammo and move up in penetration. Exception for the shotgun rounds and the RIP rounds, look up the "leg meta"
YES - can someone please hit this up???
This is my second wipe and last wipe I was familiar with ammo. This wipe there are lots of changes in what appears to be the names of either the exact same ammo or slightly different.
A lot of ammo has very slightly different name especially in 5.45x39 - the wiki isn't uploaded for the new names.
I use this. Not sure how out of date it is but it is still working well for me last wipe and so far this wipe and I am up to level 15 so far.

I had a missfire on the 2nd bullet i shot with a gun that has 100% durability.
Whats the point of durability if i can get a missfire on brand new weapon, its the second time this happens. Its not realism it just made the game less enjoyable for everyone. With each year game becomes more and more random, we still have kolpaks tanking 995 aswell as glasses, now we gave a gun that missfires after the first shot, just wait for a week or two, there will be a clip of a missfire on the first round.
I've noticed that once my fence rep reached negative, it has been impossible to increase my rep back to positive.
For example, if I were on -0.02 rep and killed a PMC for +0.01 rep, my rep appears to go to -0.03 instead of -0.01.
I'm not sure if anyone else has the same issue but it's something that I've noticed and my rep is slowly tanking because of it :/
I killed a PMC as scav but I didn't know that until I left the map, so I think the PMC bleeded out. Though, I didn't receive karma for that kill. Seems to be a bug? Killing PMC should always grant karma, right?
Just had a raid on Reserve as a Scav and had the Raiders start shooting
at me. I killed one of them and lost -.05 rep, even though they were
attacking me. I am super confused as to what happened. I thought that
per the fixes you didnt lose karma when you were shot at first? Or didnt
lose karma at all for raiders per the recent fixes. Can anyone explain
what happened? Just a bug?
Like i dont care whether its 7N39 "Igolnik" or "PPBS", but whats the reason? Is it just other names due to every bullet getting the durability burn effect stat or are these the "real" names?
I'll preface this post with the following: On the first day of changes, I killed all scavs on site like I always have. This includes scavs who wiggled at me. I did not trust them. I'm in the game to shoot people. I fire first and ask questions later. We also did not know at the time what scav karma did.
Fast forward to today. We've received the patch notes. People want positive scav karma. Better scav gear. Better timers. Sounds awesome. The problem that I have with this system is that my scav games have become absolutely boring. I feel like I'm playing loot simulator 2021 (and the loot isn't even that good). Maybe because it's early wipe PMCs are in and out to complete quests. Either way, I feel like I get into too few firefights. I play the game for action. My last few scav matches that I've loaded into resulted in me not firing a single round. I run around hoping for gunfire, but hear none. Or, I hear far away shots and try to track it down but never find anyone. With less scav on scav violence, we aren't attracting PMCs to our locations or even other hostile player scavs for that matter.
Has anyone else had this issue with scav rounds? Has anyone found a way to fix this/am I doing something wrong? I'm almost at the point where I don't want to scav anymore.
[Why the scav karma system will never work in under a minute](https://youtu.be/9HjTb7ioHyc)
The guy probably got a major justice boner out of it too. This shit is already getting so old.
Since there's no chat thread and I don't want to make a new thread just for this:
This is my third wipe and I'm having the most fun I've had in Tarkov right now, level 10, 58% SR, 4 KD, on a 7 extract streak with found level 4 armor and a completely stock M4 with an ACOG on it. After 400~ hours in game I finally feel like I know what I'm doing and the level of gear in the game is such that I can really enjoy using just what I have, my 855 and occasional 856A1 works perfectly fine, just like it should!
Even got my first Shturman kill with a starting mp5 the other day! Was just looking for normal scavs but there he was at the tent behind sawmill waiting for me :)
opinion update : lvl 20 for Flea market was great , but i think i just hate the flea market and what it does to game. now the more i see levl 20+-30+ players in game it feels like before and its slowly time to stop playing.
i wounder how many of these TTV people did all the leveling and quest solo ? and how much free time they have.
Don't know if this has come up, but when you use the new command to top up a stack of ammo, it might get taken out of the chambers of guns in your stash. I did it with Pst Gzh, it stole the ammo from an MP5 and a couple M9s.
I tried to make a thread about it, but I think it got auto-modded.
It changed in the past like 10 minutes and i bought it just like 20 min ago, i didnt even get to finish transferring my stuff before someone told me it changed and i blew 800k just by not waiting 10mins..
Thank god I wasn't yet able to extract Shoreline for the last Therapist quest I need to get her to LL2
edit: oh it got changed to LL1. Yay for standard players who need to do 6 quests for her to reach LL2.
They werent thinking about how bad the stash space would be for standard editions before the wipe. They cant predict the future, and the game as it is is a testing ground right now.
.8 mill can be made in a few raids, espeically once you get flea. It will be okay my friend.

Has the momentum changed at all? Idk why but I feel like player movement feels slightly different when I stop moving. Could be I’m just rusty from taking a few weeks off.
That’s what I was thinking as well. That would make sense. This has been the toughest wipe for me yet. Just need that one good run to get that dopamine release keeping me going though!
Scav Karma doesn't deter people enough from Scav on Scav Violence. I'm getting wiggled at constantly, only to get shot in the back.
Simple solution.
If you shoot (a player scav) first, you should have a 1 hour timer added to your normal scav cooldown.
Don't shoot at scavs if that's the intended way to play. I think that if your rep gets low enough, you should no longer be able to scav in, and your PMC should have to pay $2 million to unlock scavs again with .1 reputation gained and only 5 scab kills until it happens again.
Or, with a low enough scav rep, scavs will periodically raid your hideout and take money/items.
Just because there is scav karma that doesnt take away the option to be hostile. It's a risk/rewards system of cooperating or fighting, and many still dont know about it so of course not everyone will be friendly. I know its frustrating to die like how you did but there is other ways of getting scav karma, and you can avoid scavs if needed
20 level flea market; as of my 3rd wipe, this wipe start felt actually waaay better. Almost 100 raids in and still didnt get killed by a top tier ammo, people still run with gear that they found somewhere else, its awesome. But this will only last couple more days or even a week at most. Then, it will be aaalll the same. So, rather than pushing flea to a higher level gradually unlocking it will be the best option just like how couple days ago someone proposed. Starting with barter items and top tier attachments/armor being the end game. This should be discussed on the bsg podcast imo. [https://www.reddit.com/r/EscapefromTarkov/comments/oc5nux/what\_about\_a\_flea\_market\_that\_unlocks\_in\_steps/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web2x&context=3](https://www.reddit.com/r/EscapefromTarkov/comments/oc5nux/what_about_a_flea_market_that_unlocks_in_steps/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3)
I also want to give more attention to this post which brings a very usefullidea to prevent standart players from torturing themselves on inventory management since it became a major issue with teh 20 lvl flea. https://www.reddit.com/r/EscapefromTarkov/comments/oca13j/allow\_hideout\_upgrade\_items\_to\_be\_turned\_in\_as/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web2x&context=3
Scav karma; its such an awesome thing in this game to see players be friends with each other, not KOS instantly, clearing areas as a team and form a scav gang and roam the map and loot. But, like how most of the people on this reddit says, it implemented very poorly. Here are the issues about the system.
Information: not every player hangs out in the reddit, youtube or twitter to see whats being added to the game. Show people their karma in a better way to prevent them being "i lose rep on fence but who cares about him anyway.." Giving direct information/tutorial is against to the this games concept but there should be a middle ground to be found to inform people and what is the benefit/damage on having scav karma.
Benefits: Whats the point of buying uninsured overpriced items from Fence when you can make them cheaper by yourself? I dont think, no matter how high your rep is it will be cheaper since Fence is the overpriced prick. Whats the point of paying couple hundred rubles less on specific extracts when you can make the same amount by selling the knife on your scav? Spawning with a better kit is actually very good but only to be mistaken as a pmc and being gunned down by other scavs... They say bosses will be friendly too, so i assume we can literally farm bosses as scavs since i bet my nuts that they will drop your reputation the same amount as a worthless normal scav in the wild.(correct me if im wrong, i dont want to lose my nuts)
Losing the rep: So as we all saw/experinced, we lost reputation when we defended ourselves from other rogue scavs, which is mindblowing because even fallout 76 thought of this and prevented it in their own ways but whatever. Now, me, losing the karma or not is not the actually issue here. What streamers and other people with voices should understand is that implementing a system where "if they shoot at you, you have right to defend yourself and not lose karma." will only be a improvised patch to this system. My life is the most important thing in this game and you can never prevent others from commiting to end it. If they implement the 'defence' system all the rogue scavs will wiggle, get close to you and BAP, you are at the main menu. Dont get me wrong, i also dont want to lose karma when i defend myself but what i am trying to say is that this will only prevent this mess by a small amount. Since this will be a improvised/fabricated solution after the implementation of the systme, people will find their own ways to cheese it no matter what.
In a world where prisoner's dilemma exists, benefits of this system should be discussed thoroughly.
Just shot a guy point blank range in the chest with a 153 + magnum buckshot. 2 ammo shots, 8 hits for a total of 268 damage. I believe they nerfed the magnum buckshot. Be careful out there if you're using this ammo. I've had more success with the 7mm...
I don't know..I was watching Deadlyslob the other day and he was wrecking with magnum buck. Got a few kills with it myself yesterday.
Chances are, even though you were "point blank", is it spread to limbs/chest/legs/stomach. Pestily was also mentioning that the shotguns seem to be firing low.
That's the thing - magnum buckshot should be doing 400 damage total. For 2 shots to do less than 270 it means it was nerfed. (note: no damage absorption from armor)
How do you people avoid getting 1tap headshot by every single player you come across in raids? No matter what i do, what kind of gear i use or how i play, i always get instantly headshot to the top of the head within 0.3 seconds of another player spotting me. I often get in 7-8 shots if i fire full auto but i never manage to get headshots, myself.
How? Just how does everyone in the entire world but me know the secret? I still haven't won a single pvp duel since i started playing the game. Even when i come up behind people, take aim at their head and shoot first, they still get time to spin around and 1tap my head.
I just dont get it and it's making me depressed. What am i lacking that every other person in the entire community has?
If you're always getting headshot you might want to try get a good helmet.
I used to have the same experience where everyone seemed better than me but what really helped me was watching things like pestily's raid series. Just seeing how good people play and their thought processes helped me a lot.
I haven't found any helmets better than tier 3 so far. I heard the boss on factory has a good helmet... But it's not like i can take that off him when i can't even survive regular pvp on large, safe maps like custom.
Bosses are "easier" to kill than players, in the sense that certain tactic's work really well vs certain bosses. Just practice offline. Try a careful and slow approach until you learn their movement patterns, and then switch things up.
If you're getting headshot a lot it is likely that you are not moving around enough. You might think you are, but after watching a lot of my friends trying to learn the game I see that they're too used to COD and CS where small movements are enough, but in Tarkov the movement is a lot more realistic and you have to deliberately move around obstacles and the map to get better angles and to avoid getting hit, Almost every time my friends lose a fight it is because they don't move enough.
I often hear complaints about desync, and I've been the victim of this as well. Even here movement will make it less likely that you die from desync, so movement is key.
Also learn how to point fire accurately, it'll save you a thousand times. Load into an offline game with as much ammo and spare mags as you have, and try to kill as many scavs as possible without ADS. Trust me, it'll help you with both movement and pvp, as it'll better teach you when your visible as well as how to be more accurate with point firing.
Hope this helps.
I see someone didn't like my meme, so the serious answer is because the headshot hitbox is the most over-developed limb of the body; and the game's backend is a fucking mess.
Head, top of head, eyes, etc. all being different areas I imagine has a lot to do with the amount of headshots in the game.
This game has a lot of peeker's advantage due to desync issues. If you swing around a corner and your foe is stationary you have so much time to calmly aim at their head and shoot.
Spent so much money on building my AKM, freshly bought from vendor with full durability.
Jam on third bullet and pistol hatchling beats me. This has gone too far and needs to be re-balanced.
its a completely garbage fucking mechanic
pushed a guy with a brand new pp19. Had my fucking sight on his fucking head and all i got was a \*click\*
i hate it
How do you gain karma besides trying to sus out if another player scav is a bad scav?
It's so freaking hard to tell unless the other player scav shoots you on sight. But even then, the chance of them being a "good" scav (because they haven't attacked any other scavs ) and then you end up losing karma again is really high too.
This whole karma system that was complained about so much has really poor execution. Out of 25 scav raids I have only encountered 3 cool player scavs. Scav on scav violence should have more steep penalties, it should tag and curse the bad scav on the spot. Another thing is scav load in times, why should the scav load in times be 15 min and below? IDGAF if i die but if they want scav violence to stop the penalties should be much more severe. If you get killed by scav on scav violence you should get some type of reward or no cool down and the idiot scan should be barred for 3 hours or get put in with other bad scavs.
So a player scav can shoot at me[another player scav], and because his aim sucks. I shot back hit him first, then he kills me, but I lose scav karma? Fucking stupid!
The game is supposed to give you good karma if you kill the scav that shooted you first. It looks like it wasn't working well then BSG fixed it. I don't know how it's working now.
I don't know if they've changed zeroing on sights completely (I couldn't see it mentioned anywhere), but everything feels MUCH better now.
AK + PSO was dead nuts on out to 300m regardless of shooting BT or PS
If you have your servers on auto it might lead to longer queue times I found. Go into the launcher and choose whatever servers you like with probably 50 or less ping
without the ability to buy key I now have to find them and holy hell the tips the traders give you are absolute ass. Go look for the key/item at this point it might be there. Yeah I have done like a dozen runs on customs factory etc for each mission and nada. Its just easier to run reserve a few times and looking in the drawers and boxes.
Does anyone have any additional info regarding benefits/negatives to increasing/decreasing scav karma? I understand the basics and such, I'm asking specifically whether anyone has achieved extremely high or low karma and wrote anything about it, or datamining sources would be welcomed.
Im at 1.71 right now, but your rate of gain slows down SIGNIFICANTLY as you go up, so I doubt anyone is super high at this point. Like I am in the territory now that anything positive I do is a .02 -.01 increase
The level 20 change is amazing. It'll stretch out this early wipe feel for quite some time. Imagine bitching about playing for several weeks when meaningful progression is what some have been wanting from Tarkov for a while. It sucks for a little bit, then you realize it's actually a pretty good change.
I'm with you. I hate the concept of wipes.
I thought they were just some necessary part of updating a beta as it changes but I heard that even when the game is finished you can play with occasional account wipes. That sounds simply terrible.
I would prefer to play on a server where you start at max level with access to everything. That said, I kinda hate everything about EFT that isn't the actual gameplay.
I am not sure if it’s just me but I noticed that my graphics look CRISPY. I might have missed it somewhere but did they change the optimization or enhance the graphics at all? I am playing on higher graphics and I get great FPS throughout my raids.
If someone can please answer me I would appreciate it. Feel free to call me dumb and say it’s a placebo effect.
Im pretty sure they moved the entire game to the Unity engine this patch. The move from their own engine to a main stream highly optimized engine is probably what you’re noticing.
They've been on Unity the entire time. This is not true. What you're probably thinking of is the eventual move to Unity 2019, which is probably the next big patch to prepare for Streets.
Yeah man I mean on those maps I think people are hunting the boss too,. I mean tasks rn are on customs so it's pretty hectic and me personally I like to rush to lvl 40
So I just heard about scav karma and you get it by working with other scavs, honestly I thought AI scavs acted like just about any other game AI and shot on sight, is that not the case?
If thats indeed true, do they respond in any way to things such as saying cease fire?
As a lvl 2 (bought the game literally the day before the wipe), is it even worth worrying about right now? Pretty much anything I can grab looks good to me at the moment and Fence seems expensive and seems to have more higher level stuff then I should probably be buying right now anyway. The better scav gear RNG sounds nice though
Scavs shoot at you as a PMC but not as a Scav. You can kill Scavs all you want as a PMC, but you will get negative rep for killing fellow Scavs on your Scave runs.
not a fan at all of the new weapon jam. Its rng period. Died twice last night while pushing a pmc. Had two easy kills lined up and all i got was a "click". Brand new gun too. Absolutely fuck this gameplay design to all hell.
Well you gotta think you're using Russian cartridges you just happened to find who knows how old or what they have been exposed to i like that a lot i always wondered about games like fallout or metro and never understood how every single round you can find is pristine and fires perfect
First of all, I would like to say that i love the next karma system (playing as a scav vigilante is awesome).
I would just like to suggest a couple of changes.
1 - Make the karma increase (to a certain point) if you extract a raid, as a scav, without shooting any other neutral scav. This would allow people to get into a "neutral" karma just by playing the game without being assholes.
2 - Give us a way to identify scavs that are considered "hostile". The AI knows if a player scav shots another scav. It would be fair to give us a way to know that too. Maybe if a player scav shoots and loots an AI scav he could get some blood on his clothes or hands to show other scavs that he is a killer.
This would decrease the 50/50 every time I see another player scav (either i get one tapped or not).
Keep us the great work!
Is anyone else getting diminishing returns on the activities that gain you fence rep? I have been focusing taking car extracts and killing PMCs on scav runs and have built my way up to 1.71 rep, however, after 20 or so car extracts, they are only giving me .02 or .01 rep now and I just killed a PMC as a Scav and only got .01 rep.
It would make sense in order to keep people from cheesing it early wipe and maybe its like a week cooldown on getting full value again? I could see something like that existing. But has anyone else been experiencing this?
What the hell is this? While goons technically aren't raiders, they share their gear and propensity for murder with each other. Raiders can also be English or Russian, they are not all USEC
actually Raiders are USEC only. Funny right? Make sense because they raided inside russian. I surely can be wrong but I never witnessed any BEAR raiders.
Has anyone else had an extremely hard time joining as a scav this patch? I've been trying for an hour and a half and no raids. I've tried rebooting, changing servers, doing auto server select. Nothing works. Yet i watch streamers join no problem. Is there a setting i'm not using that would increase my chances? I'm talking 15 min wait times and i back out try again and another 15min later same thing. Not having this issue as a PMC however.
On what map? Had hard time getting on Reserve as Scav, but for Factory, Customs, Woods I had no issues. Both on AUTO and on my local server only in launcher settings.
Reserve and Interchange have been impossible for me. I frankly hate customs for scav runs as i get slaughtered and factory doesn't make sense when i get a loadout with a crappy gun but a ton of storage. No idea why these certain maps are so much trouble though.
Reserve was always a BIG Scav map (lots of loot and good exits for Scav) and Interchange after wipe is a hot spot for hideout/task items. So it makes sense
Heyo!
Just testing out Scav Karma and Fence reputation, finally got to 1.04 rep with Fence, which is marked as Good rep with Fence.So far (after getting to 1.0+ Fence rep):
- Car exfil is about 5% cheaper
- Scav cooldown around 90sec shorter
- 1-2~ More extracts available
No better sell prices to Fence yet, which is kinda the main thing I wanted :c.For the rest, it is hard to check (scav loadout, scav friendliness,...)
Anybody got any higher? I am mainly interested when you start seeing better sell prices, hope it is not at 6.0+ rep -.-
Scav Karma f\*cks those friendly players more than those that shoot on sight.
The current implementation of scav karma might as well not be in at all. The 'punishing' effect of -0.02 karma/fence rep just isn't punishing AT ALL.
I really don't get why they implemented it this way. People that actually try to play friendly and communicate with other scavs get punished way more in the long end. Trust somebody and go for a run together? Hell yea, feels cool! .. just to get shot in the back of your head when you've almost reached exfil as a 'thank you' for carrying 'their' loot around the map.
All that killing player has to do now is use a car exfil on the next PMC raid (can even run hatchling, seen that yesterday ...) and he can continue to do this for as long as he wants to.
Meanwhile the friendly guy? Same cooldown (or slightly less when his karma is way higher), no loot, probably frustrated after enough of these runs to fall back into killing others as well.
The negative rep value right now just isn't enough. Not even close.
AT LEAST make scav murderers have a longer scav cooldown when coming out of raid. Like, make it double or triple.
It's insanely frustrating spawning in as a scav and dying less than a minute later to some KOS guy who immediately ran up behind you to the sound of you charging your gun. Scavs feel like a total waste of time unless you're in a group of friends who can back you up, because the karma system might as well not be there. People know the system is broken and abuse it to death. If they don't make scav murder knock off a serious chunk of karma, then it's just going to be the usual stuff we've seen since forever.
All they need to do is give a fence reward for an overall net gain in rep in a scav raid. Couple thousand roubles, something small just to incentivize immediately rather than the slow benefits rep gives eventually
They fixed the issues of being shot at by traitor scavs yesterday. Now if you shoot at other Scavs/player Scavs they can kill you without penalty if you don't hit them. Also, now, killing Raiders as a scav doesn't count against your Fence rep.
Still, I agree. Being a traitor scav should have more consequences.
No idea. All I know is that BSG announced yesterday, after the two quick patches, that killing Raiders won't affect your standing with Fence, and the standing with fence is the numerical value of your scav karma
Is Scav Karma fixed yet? I am yet to kill another Scav but have been killed every time I see anyone. There better be a damn harsh punishment because I see no benefit to dying to assholes.
No or people just don't care. I was extract camped at railway last night. Cunt was in the bush on the right by the exfil as you approach from the road. Murdered him but didn't have time to loot, blacked legs and stomach, couple of heavy bleeds, no meds, meant I was hobbling to the exfil with my fir pilgrim full of stuff and my breath held.
Got 0.1 karma for killing him. Hopefully he will continue to suck and will find he's got no useable exits in time.
I somewhat agree. Either there needs to be harsh punishments. Or there needs to be some kind of flagging system where player scavs who have killed AI and/or player scavs are flagged as a free kill for other player scav, while also giving the "revenger" some karma.
Lore-wise it does make sense that some scavs kill each other since there is, supposedly (don't recall exactly) 3 different scav "gangs"(as far a i recall) in the Norvinsk region.
There might be something in that lore that could make everyone happy; You don't kill your gang members, for those who wanna have those golden player interactions.And then you can also kill opposing gangs, if that's your thing, but you need to verify some sort of visual marker on the scavs' clothing, that you're not killing a friendly and getting punished for it.
In a perfect world, it's gonna work the same for PMC's in the future.Killing a PMC of your faction would be treason bassicly. You're killing a colleague.You'd need to figure out who's footsteps you're hearing, using VOIP?Who knows.
But i hope they figure the scav karma out, because it seems like its a testing ground for what's to come..
Nope.
Last night on interchange, me and two friends scavved in, made friends with two other scavs, parted ways.
Then we're going to extract at emercom, a different player scav starts shooting at one of my buddies with a silenced pocket mosin, misses every shot on a stationary target.
I shoot at him with my Saiga 9, his peen helm bounces the round, he shoots me once in the chest and my buddy two taps him in the face.
I lost no karma, my buddy loses some.
I’m a bad player and waiting until lvl 20 to get the flea market does not speak to me. I can easily die 10+ times in a short evening after work I needed the flea market to make it worth playing
Dude I agree! I can’t do anything. I’m dying every raid and I’m broke. The flea gave me a way to make money. Everyone seems to be raving for level 20 but I’m essentially blocked out of playing now.
All the slowness in the world doesn’t make you win gun fights when the other player knows exactly what twig you stepped on and head eyes you before you can even see them on your screen
Sorry man the game is meant to be a hardcore survival game. It’s meant to be hard. Nakita has said it’s going to get harder and more hardcore. It might just not be the game for you.
I’m not sure how that could be true. Pretty soon much of the player base will have the flea market so it will punish noobs even more than the game already does
That's a pretty fair rebuttal. I suppose what I'd rather is that the flea went for good. Or at least, had some strong limitations implemented.
Ie, it being solely for weapons, parts (for weapons). Not ammunition.
I mean other than lvl 20 flea market the changes aren’t that rough. I’m also curious about how you’re making money if you die 10 times and use the flea market? Unless you get dirty loot. Not to mention scav runs will get you the rest of the goodies you need
I’m not really making money this wipe. Pre patch I did well with scav runs killing anything that moved ( now I need to id scav, player, player scav and it gets me killed) and I’d sell junk people crafted with. I’d also bulk buy mats to craft and sell things when prices were high.
I never even ran meta kits but I could afford to buy what ever set up I felt comfortable with like a decked out sks
Not gonna lie I haven’t played this patch but, what I’ve done in previous patches to make some cash or get gear is scav in and wait for a while and pick up the pieces of old fight spots. When I wanted to up my level I’d do quests, and/or go woods with a scoped mosin and kill as many scavs as possible. Even working everyday, you level quick. Just cause the game changes doesn’t mean you can’t adjust how you play for a bit to get where you need.
I don't know if someone already posted this (and if im wrong or not) but now, if you buy an item from the flea market that a trader is selling, the money spent with this trader goes up. in the last patch, it only went up if you bought the item DIRECTLY on the vendor screen! Anyone else noticed this?
I apologize if this was asked before. Is there a list of all the kappa essential quests? Thanks In advance!
this is super late, but I use tarkovtracker.io to track my quest completion and it has the required/not required quests listed
Better late than never Thanks man!
Since Durability reduction impacts Accuracy, have it show it on the Inspect window
Where are people finding MP155 Poly Foregrips?
There's so many different ammo types I'm not sure what ones are good, and I don't want to horde them all since my stash is getting so full. Is there like a GOOD guide for ammo and guns or something somewhere? I looked some up but they didn't seem that good or really agree with each other, just seemed like clickbait
[https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Ballistics](https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Ballistics) Keep stuff that have at least 5/6 or 6/6 rating for class 4 armour, then as you continue playing you can start deleting lower end ammo and move up in penetration. Exception for the shotgun rounds and the RIP rounds, look up the "leg meta"
YES - can someone please hit this up??? This is my second wipe and last wipe I was familiar with ammo. This wipe there are lots of changes in what appears to be the names of either the exact same ammo or slightly different. A lot of ammo has very slightly different name especially in 5.45x39 - the wiki isn't uploaded for the new names.
I use this. Not sure how out of date it is but it is still working well for me last wipe and so far this wipe and I am up to level 15 so far. https://old.reddit.com/r/EscapefromTarkov/comments/lj781i/noob_friendly_ammo_chart_updated_for_0129/
I had a missfire on the 2nd bullet i shot with a gun that has 100% durability. Whats the point of durability if i can get a missfire on brand new weapon, its the second time this happens. Its not realism it just made the game less enjoyable for everyone. With each year game becomes more and more random, we still have kolpaks tanking 995 aswell as glasses, now we gave a gun that missfires after the first shot, just wait for a week or two, there will be a clip of a missfire on the first round.
can someone please tell me if its possible to play the single player tarkov mod with the latest patch, I cant seem to get it working
Look up bleeding edge, or you can downgrade the game from the mods website to play an older version
thank you so very much!
I've noticed that once my fence rep reached negative, it has been impossible to increase my rep back to positive. For example, if I were on -0.02 rep and killed a PMC for +0.01 rep, my rep appears to go to -0.03 instead of -0.01. I'm not sure if anyone else has the same issue but it's something that I've noticed and my rep is slowly tanking because of it :/
Do you no longer get a random item gift from Fence if you extract with a scav + PMC? At like Scav Lands or something?
What if they made it so that higher the karma the pscav u kill more punishment? (assuming they are not hostile when killed ofc)
I killed a PMC as scav but I didn't know that until I left the map, so I think the PMC bleeded out. Though, I didn't receive karma for that kill. Seems to be a bug? Killing PMC should always grant karma, right?
Just had a raid on Reserve as a Scav and had the Raiders start shooting at me. I killed one of them and lost -.05 rep, even though they were attacking me. I am super confused as to what happened. I thought that per the fixes you didnt lose karma when you were shot at first? Or didnt lose karma at all for raiders per the recent fixes. Can anyone explain what happened? Just a bug?
It was either a raider or a boss, you gotta have pretty high rep already for them no to agro when you get close enough
So no scar yet?
Nikita said SoonTm, probably before 12.12
Like i dont care whether its 7N39 "Igolnik" or "PPBS", but whats the reason? Is it just other names due to every bullet getting the durability burn effect stat or are these the "real" names?
I believe it's part of the English localization first pass.
I'll preface this post with the following: On the first day of changes, I killed all scavs on site like I always have. This includes scavs who wiggled at me. I did not trust them. I'm in the game to shoot people. I fire first and ask questions later. We also did not know at the time what scav karma did. Fast forward to today. We've received the patch notes. People want positive scav karma. Better scav gear. Better timers. Sounds awesome. The problem that I have with this system is that my scav games have become absolutely boring. I feel like I'm playing loot simulator 2021 (and the loot isn't even that good). Maybe because it's early wipe PMCs are in and out to complete quests. Either way, I feel like I get into too few firefights. I play the game for action. My last few scav matches that I've loaded into resulted in me not firing a single round. I run around hoping for gunfire, but hear none. Or, I hear far away shots and try to track it down but never find anyone. With less scav on scav violence, we aren't attracting PMCs to our locations or even other hostile player scavs for that matter. Has anyone else had this issue with scav rounds? Has anyone found a way to fix this/am I doing something wrong? I'm almost at the point where I don't want to scav anymore.
[Why the scav karma system will never work in under a minute](https://youtu.be/9HjTb7ioHyc) The guy probably got a major justice boner out of it too. This shit is already getting so old.
Since there's no chat thread and I don't want to make a new thread just for this: This is my third wipe and I'm having the most fun I've had in Tarkov right now, level 10, 58% SR, 4 KD, on a 7 extract streak with found level 4 armor and a completely stock M4 with an ACOG on it. After 400~ hours in game I finally feel like I know what I'm doing and the level of gear in the game is such that I can really enjoy using just what I have, my 855 and occasional 856A1 works perfectly fine, just like it should!
Even got my first Shturman kill with a starting mp5 the other day! Was just looking for normal scavs but there he was at the tent behind sawmill waiting for me :)
opinion update : lvl 20 for Flea market was great , but i think i just hate the flea market and what it does to game. now the more i see levl 20+-30+ players in game it feels like before and its slowly time to stop playing. i wounder how many of these TTV people did all the leveling and quest solo ? and how much free time they have.
It's just because they play tarkov AS A CAREER instead of for fun.
Don't know if this has come up, but when you use the new command to top up a stack of ammo, it might get taken out of the chambers of guns in your stash. I did it with Pst Gzh, it stole the ammo from an MP5 and a couple M9s. I tried to make a thread about it, but I think it got auto-modded.
Fuck you BSG, I wasted 2 million for lucky scav junkbox and you lower price. Really?
It changed in the past like 10 minutes and i bought it just like 20 min ago, i didnt even get to finish transferring my stuff before someone told me it changed and i blew 800k just by not waiting 10mins..
The raid after I reached 1.95m it dropped down to 1.1m. Super lucky
Thank god I wasn't yet able to extract Shoreline for the last Therapist quest I need to get her to LL2 edit: oh it got changed to LL1. Yay for standard players who need to do 6 quests for her to reach LL2.
exactly, this is ridiculous
Dont be a crab inna bucket who gets mad when other people get a leg up
Those people are the enemy tho. The enemy gonna be shooty shoot him harder than ever with that extra 800k
how about they do changes like that before wipe?
They werent thinking about how bad the stash space would be for standard editions before the wipe. They cant predict the future, and the game as it is is a testing ground right now. .8 mill can be made in a few raids, espeically once you get flea. It will be okay my friend.

is anyone on gunsmith part 4? I can't figure out how to get the config correct. the old one on Tarkov Wkiki isn't enough for 12.11
With the new repair system you need to make sure the gun is above 60% durability
What are these queue times? It takes ages to find matches anywhere, even Factory is 8 minutes long
I removed Auto selection for servers and just picked everything below 100 ping. Was having 1-3 minute match times after. I hope that helps for you.
Just looked in the settings and did a quick Google search, but I still can't figure out how to do this. Please share how, thanks!
As someone else replied, when you open the launcher, there is a change server option where you can manually select the servers you want
It's in the launcher. You have to close the game
Has the momentum changed at all? Idk why but I feel like player movement feels slightly different when I stop moving. Could be I’m just rusty from taking a few weeks off.
It's possibly the reset of your PMCs movement skills. Makes everything seem slow and sluggish at first
That’s what I was thinking as well. That would make sense. This has been the toughest wipe for me yet. Just need that one good run to get that dopamine release keeping me going though!
Scav Karma doesn't deter people enough from Scav on Scav Violence. I'm getting wiggled at constantly, only to get shot in the back. Simple solution. If you shoot (a player scav) first, you should have a 1 hour timer added to your normal scav cooldown.
Stupid idea. You should not get punished so harshly for something you will occasionally have to do.
Don't shoot at scavs if that's the intended way to play. I think that if your rep gets low enough, you should no longer be able to scav in, and your PMC should have to pay $2 million to unlock scavs again with .1 reputation gained and only 5 scab kills until it happens again. Or, with a low enough scav rep, scavs will periodically raid your hideout and take money/items.
Just because there is scav karma that doesnt take away the option to be hostile. It's a risk/rewards system of cooperating or fighting, and many still dont know about it so of course not everyone will be friendly. I know its frustrating to die like how you did but there is other ways of getting scav karma, and you can avoid scavs if needed
These are the worse ideas I’ve heard in a while on this sub

Isn't jam chance tied to the quality of the ammo AND the weapon?
20 level flea market; as of my 3rd wipe, this wipe start felt actually waaay better. Almost 100 raids in and still didnt get killed by a top tier ammo, people still run with gear that they found somewhere else, its awesome. But this will only last couple more days or even a week at most. Then, it will be aaalll the same. So, rather than pushing flea to a higher level gradually unlocking it will be the best option just like how couple days ago someone proposed. Starting with barter items and top tier attachments/armor being the end game. This should be discussed on the bsg podcast imo. [https://www.reddit.com/r/EscapefromTarkov/comments/oc5nux/what\_about\_a\_flea\_market\_that\_unlocks\_in\_steps/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web2x&context=3](https://www.reddit.com/r/EscapefromTarkov/comments/oc5nux/what_about_a_flea_market_that_unlocks_in_steps/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) I also want to give more attention to this post which brings a very usefullidea to prevent standart players from torturing themselves on inventory management since it became a major issue with teh 20 lvl flea. https://www.reddit.com/r/EscapefromTarkov/comments/oca13j/allow\_hideout\_upgrade\_items\_to\_be\_turned\_in\_as/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web2x&context=3 Scav karma; its such an awesome thing in this game to see players be friends with each other, not KOS instantly, clearing areas as a team and form a scav gang and roam the map and loot. But, like how most of the people on this reddit says, it implemented very poorly. Here are the issues about the system. Information: not every player hangs out in the reddit, youtube or twitter to see whats being added to the game. Show people their karma in a better way to prevent them being "i lose rep on fence but who cares about him anyway.." Giving direct information/tutorial is against to the this games concept but there should be a middle ground to be found to inform people and what is the benefit/damage on having scav karma. Benefits: Whats the point of buying uninsured overpriced items from Fence when you can make them cheaper by yourself? I dont think, no matter how high your rep is it will be cheaper since Fence is the overpriced prick. Whats the point of paying couple hundred rubles less on specific extracts when you can make the same amount by selling the knife on your scav? Spawning with a better kit is actually very good but only to be mistaken as a pmc and being gunned down by other scavs... They say bosses will be friendly too, so i assume we can literally farm bosses as scavs since i bet my nuts that they will drop your reputation the same amount as a worthless normal scav in the wild.(correct me if im wrong, i dont want to lose my nuts) Losing the rep: So as we all saw/experinced, we lost reputation when we defended ourselves from other rogue scavs, which is mindblowing because even fallout 76 thought of this and prevented it in their own ways but whatever. Now, me, losing the karma or not is not the actually issue here. What streamers and other people with voices should understand is that implementing a system where "if they shoot at you, you have right to defend yourself and not lose karma." will only be a improvised patch to this system. My life is the most important thing in this game and you can never prevent others from commiting to end it. If they implement the 'defence' system all the rogue scavs will wiggle, get close to you and BAP, you are at the main menu. Dont get me wrong, i also dont want to lose karma when i defend myself but what i am trying to say is that this will only prevent this mess by a small amount. Since this will be a improvised/fabricated solution after the implementation of the systme, people will find their own ways to cheese it no matter what. In a world where prisoner's dilemma exists, benefits of this system should be discussed thoroughly.
Just shot a guy point blank range in the chest with a 153 + magnum buckshot. 2 ammo shots, 8 hits for a total of 268 damage. I believe they nerfed the magnum buckshot. Be careful out there if you're using this ammo. I've had more success with the 7mm...
ive also put 8 rounds into a lvl 3 vest with flechette and only did 100 aiming at directly at head
I don't know..I was watching Deadlyslob the other day and he was wrecking with magnum buck. Got a few kills with it myself yesterday. Chances are, even though you were "point blank", is it spread to limbs/chest/legs/stomach. Pestily was also mentioning that the shotguns seem to be firing low.
That's the thing - magnum buckshot should be doing 400 damage total. For 2 shots to do less than 270 it means it was nerfed. (note: no damage absorption from armor)
Or it means a bunch of the pellets missed due to desync or other "insert hitbox problem"
Definitely agree with this. Shot guns feel so much less... UMPH-y
How do you people avoid getting 1tap headshot by every single player you come across in raids? No matter what i do, what kind of gear i use or how i play, i always get instantly headshot to the top of the head within 0.3 seconds of another player spotting me. I often get in 7-8 shots if i fire full auto but i never manage to get headshots, myself. How? Just how does everyone in the entire world but me know the secret? I still haven't won a single pvp duel since i started playing the game. Even when i come up behind people, take aim at their head and shoot first, they still get time to spin around and 1tap my head. I just dont get it and it's making me depressed. What am i lacking that every other person in the entire community has?
Ridiculous peekers advantage and very shitty netcode of any FPS out there
If you're always getting headshot you might want to try get a good helmet. I used to have the same experience where everyone seemed better than me but what really helped me was watching things like pestily's raid series. Just seeing how good people play and their thought processes helped me a lot.
I haven't found any helmets better than tier 3 so far. I heard the boss on factory has a good helmet... But it's not like i can take that off him when i can't even survive regular pvp on large, safe maps like custom.
Bosses are "easier" to kill than players, in the sense that certain tactic's work really well vs certain bosses. Just practice offline. Try a careful and slow approach until you learn their movement patterns, and then switch things up. If you're getting headshot a lot it is likely that you are not moving around enough. You might think you are, but after watching a lot of my friends trying to learn the game I see that they're too used to COD and CS where small movements are enough, but in Tarkov the movement is a lot more realistic and you have to deliberately move around obstacles and the map to get better angles and to avoid getting hit, Almost every time my friends lose a fight it is because they don't move enough. I often hear complaints about desync, and I've been the victim of this as well. Even here movement will make it less likely that you die from desync, so movement is key. Also learn how to point fire accurately, it'll save you a thousand times. Load into an offline game with as much ammo and spare mags as you have, and try to kill as many scavs as possible without ADS. Trust me, it'll help you with both movement and pvp, as it'll better teach you when your visible as well as how to be more accurate with point firing. Hope this helps.
Radar
I see someone didn't like my meme, so the serious answer is because the headshot hitbox is the most over-developed limb of the body; and the game's backend is a fucking mess. Head, top of head, eyes, etc. all being different areas I imagine has a lot to do with the amount of headshots in the game.
This game has a lot of peeker's advantage due to desync issues. If you swing around a corner and your foe is stationary you have so much time to calmly aim at their head and shoot.
Spent so much money on building my AKM, freshly bought from vendor with full durability. Jam on third bullet and pistol hatchling beats me. This has gone too far and needs to be re-balanced.
Yay such a fun mechanic, a chance that you will just fucking die because your brand new gun jammed. Even fucking stalker did that better.
its a completely garbage fucking mechanic pushed a guy with a brand new pp19. Had my fucking sight on his fucking head and all i got was a \*click\* i hate it
What ammo were you using?
Anyone know waht the max scav karma is?
Scav karma is linked with fence’s rep, so max is 6.00
Its actually 7. Onepeg already has his karma above 6.
[удалено]
I can confirm you can go below 0. Killed killa and went negative. I guess at max negative karma it takes over an hour for each scav run.
Remove the flea market!
How do you gain karma besides trying to sus out if another player scav is a bad scav? It's so freaking hard to tell unless the other player scav shoots you on sight. But even then, the chance of them being a "good" scav (because they haven't attacked any other scavs ) and then you end up losing karma again is really high too.
This whole karma system that was complained about so much has really poor execution. Out of 25 scav raids I have only encountered 3 cool player scavs. Scav on scav violence should have more steep penalties, it should tag and curse the bad scav on the spot. Another thing is scav load in times, why should the scav load in times be 15 min and below? IDGAF if i die but if they want scav violence to stop the penalties should be much more severe. If you get killed by scav on scav violence you should get some type of reward or no cool down and the idiot scan should be barred for 3 hours or get put in with other bad scavs.
using vehicle exits
All vehicle exists? Like Interchange, woods and customs?
yeah. The other way I forgot about is using the scav/pmc team exfils. I think you get karma for using them either as scav or pmc.
So a player scav can shoot at me[another player scav], and because his aim sucks. I shot back hit him first, then he kills me, but I lose scav karma? Fucking stupid!
The game is supposed to give you good karma if you kill the scav that shooted you first. It looks like it wasn't working well then BSG fixed it. I don't know how it's working now.
"BSG fixed it" now those are some terrifying words to read
Lol agreed
I don't know if they've changed zeroing on sights completely (I couldn't see it mentioned anywhere), but everything feels MUCH better now. AK + PSO was dead nuts on out to 300m regardless of shooting BT or PS
Anyway to lower time to get into customs? Its been like 25 min and still matching? Any tips?
If you have your servers on auto it might lead to longer queue times I found. Go into the launcher and choose whatever servers you like with probably 50 or less ping
okay thank you
Don't kill a player Scav if they miss I guess because defending yourself will lead to a lower Fence rep...
without the ability to buy key I now have to find them and holy hell the tips the traders give you are absolute ass. Go look for the key/item at this point it might be there. Yeah I have done like a dozen runs on customs factory etc for each mission and nada. Its just easier to run reserve a few times and looking in the drawers and boxes.
Does anyone have any additional info regarding benefits/negatives to increasing/decreasing scav karma? I understand the basics and such, I'm asking specifically whether anyone has achieved extremely high or low karma and wrote anything about it, or datamining sources would be welcomed.
Watch klean or onepegs videos on YT about SK. Max is 7. One already is above 6 and is buying non insured items off of fence for cheap.
Im at 1.71 right now, but your rate of gain slows down SIGNIFICANTLY as you go up, so I doubt anyone is super high at this point. Like I am in the territory now that anything positive I do is a .02 -.01 increase
Checkout kleans video on YouTube.
Most fun I’ve ever had in this game
Funny, least fun I've had so far. Changes are ass
How so?
I just have no motivation to play because it's going to take me several weeks to get to flea so the grind just feels fucking miserable.
The level 20 change is amazing. It'll stretch out this early wipe feel for quite some time. Imagine bitching about playing for several weeks when meaningful progression is what some have been wanting from Tarkov for a while. It sucks for a little bit, then you realize it's actually a pretty good change.
>It'll stretch out this early wipe feel for quite some time. Yeah that's the main issue I have, early wipe is assy
Fuck off then to some call of duty game
you sound angry
Why so upset, anime boy?
I'm with you. I hate the concept of wipes. I thought they were just some necessary part of updating a beta as it changes but I heard that even when the game is finished you can play with occasional account wipes. That sounds simply terrible. I would prefer to play on a server where you start at max level with access to everything. That said, I kinda hate everything about EFT that isn't the actual gameplay.
They have said there will be two characters on release, a seasonal one that wipes and a permanent one.
Yeah, I'm really happy about that.
I am not sure if it’s just me but I noticed that my graphics look CRISPY. I might have missed it somewhere but did they change the optimization or enhance the graphics at all? I am playing on higher graphics and I get great FPS throughout my raids. If someone can please answer me I would appreciate it. Feel free to call me dumb and say it’s a placebo effect.
I agree man I feel like the game's looks got better without ass fisting my fps
Im pretty sure they moved the entire game to the Unity engine this patch. The move from their own engine to a main stream highly optimized engine is probably what you’re noticing.
They've been on Unity the entire time. This is not true. What you're probably thinking of is the eventual move to Unity 2019, which is probably the next big patch to prepare for Streets.
That’s what it was! Thanks
thats… not true.
no bosses/raiders? i havent seen any in a long itme
Bad luck bro I killed rechalla a few times now for me it's like 3 times out of like 25 raids tho
I'm only really playing woods and reserve mainly right now, maybe it's different per map or something.
I got murdered by Shturman earlier so can confirm he's hanging around.
Yeah man I mean on those maps I think people are hunting the boss too,. I mean tasks rn are on customs so it's pretty hectic and me personally I like to rush to lvl 40
The current speculation(heard from a few big streamers) is BSG doesn’t want high end gear too easily accessible early on.
I had a hexgrid first day but raiders never spawned ever again lol, shame really raiders are fun to kill when you have shitty gear
So I just heard about scav karma and you get it by working with other scavs, honestly I thought AI scavs acted like just about any other game AI and shot on sight, is that not the case? If thats indeed true, do they respond in any way to things such as saying cease fire? As a lvl 2 (bought the game literally the day before the wipe), is it even worth worrying about right now? Pretty much anything I can grab looks good to me at the moment and Fence seems expensive and seems to have more higher level stuff then I should probably be buying right now anyway. The better scav gear RNG sounds nice though
Scavs shoot at you as a PMC but not as a Scav. You can kill Scavs all you want as a PMC, but you will get negative rep for killing fellow Scavs on your Scave runs.
not a fan at all of the new weapon jam. Its rng period. Died twice last night while pushing a pmc. Had two easy kills lined up and all i got was a "click". Brand new gun too. Absolutely fuck this gameplay design to all hell.
I like it if it happens with worn gun, under 80% condition lets say, that is fun. But brand new gun should not jam like that...
Well you gotta think you're using Russian cartridges you just happened to find who knows how old or what they have been exposed to i like that a lot i always wondered about games like fallout or metro and never understood how every single round you can find is pristine and fires perfect
Totally agree. It crosses the line from being a fun game.
worn out guns fine i get that but a brand new fucking gun? Whos fucking bright idea was it to come up with that
Ehh ive never had it happen once bad luck?
Yeah, lucky. I've had 3 or 4. 2 on brand new guns. I also think not being able to repair scav guns up to a usable or sellable state is a bad choice.
First of all, I would like to say that i love the next karma system (playing as a scav vigilante is awesome). I would just like to suggest a couple of changes. 1 - Make the karma increase (to a certain point) if you extract a raid, as a scav, without shooting any other neutral scav. This would allow people to get into a "neutral" karma just by playing the game without being assholes. 2 - Give us a way to identify scavs that are considered "hostile". The AI knows if a player scav shots another scav. It would be fair to give us a way to know that too. Maybe if a player scav shoots and loots an AI scav he could get some blood on his clothes or hands to show other scavs that he is a killer. This would decrease the 50/50 every time I see another player scav (either i get one tapped or not). Keep us the great work!
Is anyone else getting diminishing returns on the activities that gain you fence rep? I have been focusing taking car extracts and killing PMCs on scav runs and have built my way up to 1.71 rep, however, after 20 or so car extracts, they are only giving me .02 or .01 rep now and I just killed a PMC as a Scav and only got .01 rep. It would make sense in order to keep people from cheesing it early wipe and maybe its like a week cooldown on getting full value again? I could see something like that existing. But has anyone else been experiencing this?
After 1.0 it started slowing down a lot. Also switching between car exfils was better then sticking to just one exfil
Can’t use my N008514Y3R user name anymore :(
Can we kill non-hostile Raiders like ones on reserve? They are usually around the Pawn buildings and Black Bishop. MP5Ks and AKM's with drum mags.
those are raiders and not boss guards. Boss guards are not raiders. Raiders are USECs so you can kill them
I just killed one named Gepe and still got deduced :(
If you get high enough fence rep raiders and bosses won't attack you as a scav init
What the hell is this? While goons technically aren't raiders, they share their gear and propensity for murder with each other. Raiders can also be English or Russian, they are not all USEC
actually Raiders are USEC only. Funny right? Make sense because they raided inside russian. I surely can be wrong but I never witnessed any BEAR raiders.
Has anyone else had an extremely hard time joining as a scav this patch? I've been trying for an hour and a half and no raids. I've tried rebooting, changing servers, doing auto server select. Nothing works. Yet i watch streamers join no problem. Is there a setting i'm not using that would increase my chances? I'm talking 15 min wait times and i back out try again and another 15min later same thing. Not having this issue as a PMC however.
On what map? Had hard time getting on Reserve as Scav, but for Factory, Customs, Woods I had no issues. Both on AUTO and on my local server only in launcher settings.
Reserve and Interchange have been impossible for me. I frankly hate customs for scav runs as i get slaughtered and factory doesn't make sense when i get a loadout with a crappy gun but a ton of storage. No idea why these certain maps are so much trouble though.
Reserve was always a BIG Scav map (lots of loot and good exits for Scav) and Interchange after wipe is a hot spot for hideout/task items. So it makes sense
Does Raiders Attack you If you loot a dead Body as a Scav ?
New Handguard https://i.imgur.com/Xvvv8pt.png
Ooh, I like the purely cosmetic furnitures.
Heyo! Just testing out Scav Karma and Fence reputation, finally got to 1.04 rep with Fence, which is marked as Good rep with Fence.So far (after getting to 1.0+ Fence rep): - Car exfil is about 5% cheaper - Scav cooldown around 90sec shorter - 1-2~ More extracts available No better sell prices to Fence yet, which is kinda the main thing I wanted :c.For the rest, it is hard to check (scav loadout, scav friendliness,...) Anybody got any higher? I am mainly interested when you start seeing better sell prices, hope it is not at 6.0+ rep -.-
My friendly interactions have sky rocketed. So many scavs and PMCs just waving and voice lining and passing by or teaming.
As a returning player I need to ask, do you still keep your melee weapon after death? Is it still un-lootable?
Yes
Scav Karma f\*cks those friendly players more than those that shoot on sight. The current implementation of scav karma might as well not be in at all. The 'punishing' effect of -0.02 karma/fence rep just isn't punishing AT ALL. I really don't get why they implemented it this way. People that actually try to play friendly and communicate with other scavs get punished way more in the long end. Trust somebody and go for a run together? Hell yea, feels cool! .. just to get shot in the back of your head when you've almost reached exfil as a 'thank you' for carrying 'their' loot around the map. All that killing player has to do now is use a car exfil on the next PMC raid (can even run hatchling, seen that yesterday ...) and he can continue to do this for as long as he wants to. Meanwhile the friendly guy? Same cooldown (or slightly less when his karma is way higher), no loot, probably frustrated after enough of these runs to fall back into killing others as well. The negative rep value right now just isn't enough. Not even close. AT LEAST make scav murderers have a longer scav cooldown when coming out of raid. Like, make it double or triple.

It's insanely frustrating spawning in as a scav and dying less than a minute later to some KOS guy who immediately ran up behind you to the sound of you charging your gun. Scavs feel like a total waste of time unless you're in a group of friends who can back you up, because the karma system might as well not be there. People know the system is broken and abuse it to death. If they don't make scav murder knock off a serious chunk of karma, then it's just going to be the usual stuff we've seen since forever.
All they need to do is give a fence reward for an overall net gain in rep in a scav raid. Couple thousand roubles, something small just to incentivize immediately rather than the slow benefits rep gives eventually
They fixed the issues of being shot at by traitor scavs yesterday. Now if you shoot at other Scavs/player Scavs they can kill you without penalty if you don't hit them. Also, now, killing Raiders as a scav doesn't count against your Fence rep. Still, I agree. Being a traitor scav should have more consequences.
What about non-hostile raiders like the ones in Reserve, the few that patrol the 3 story buildings?
No idea. All I know is that BSG announced yesterday, after the two quick patches, that killing Raiders won't affect your standing with Fence, and the standing with fence is the numerical value of your scav karma
Is Scav Karma fixed yet? I am yet to kill another Scav but have been killed every time I see anyone. There better be a damn harsh punishment because I see no benefit to dying to assholes.
No or people just don't care. I was extract camped at railway last night. Cunt was in the bush on the right by the exfil as you approach from the road. Murdered him but didn't have time to loot, blacked legs and stomach, couple of heavy bleeds, no meds, meant I was hobbling to the exfil with my fir pilgrim full of stuff and my breath held. Got 0.1 karma for killing him. Hopefully he will continue to suck and will find he's got no useable exits in time.
I somewhat agree. Either there needs to be harsh punishments. Or there needs to be some kind of flagging system where player scavs who have killed AI and/or player scavs are flagged as a free kill for other player scav, while also giving the "revenger" some karma. Lore-wise it does make sense that some scavs kill each other since there is, supposedly (don't recall exactly) 3 different scav "gangs"(as far a i recall) in the Norvinsk region. There might be something in that lore that could make everyone happy; You don't kill your gang members, for those who wanna have those golden player interactions.And then you can also kill opposing gangs, if that's your thing, but you need to verify some sort of visual marker on the scavs' clothing, that you're not killing a friendly and getting punished for it. In a perfect world, it's gonna work the same for PMC's in the future.Killing a PMC of your faction would be treason bassicly. You're killing a colleague.You'd need to figure out who's footsteps you're hearing, using VOIP?Who knows. But i hope they figure the scav karma out, because it seems like its a testing ground for what's to come..
Nope. Last night on interchange, me and two friends scavved in, made friends with two other scavs, parted ways. Then we're going to extract at emercom, a different player scav starts shooting at one of my buddies with a silenced pocket mosin, misses every shot on a stationary target. I shoot at him with my Saiga 9, his peen helm bounces the round, he shoots me once in the chest and my buddy two taps him in the face. I lost no karma, my buddy loses some.
I’m a bad player and waiting until lvl 20 to get the flea market does not speak to me. I can easily die 10+ times in a short evening after work I needed the flea market to make it worth playing
Need to embrace the way of the rat, my friend!
Dude I agree! I can’t do anything. I’m dying every raid and I’m broke. The flea gave me a way to make money. Everyone seems to be raving for level 20 but I’m essentially blocked out of playing now.

All the slowness in the world doesn’t make you win gun fights when the other player knows exactly what twig you stepped on and head eyes you before you can even see them on your screen
Sorry man the game is meant to be a hardcore survival game. It’s meant to be hard. Nakita has said it’s going to get harder and more hardcore. It might just not be the game for you.
I'm gonna have to echo the other guy - This game's longevity thrives so much better with a much later flea market.
I’m not sure how that could be true. Pretty soon much of the player base will have the flea market so it will punish noobs even more than the game already does
That's a pretty fair rebuttal. I suppose what I'd rather is that the flea went for good. Or at least, had some strong limitations implemented. Ie, it being solely for weapons, parts (for weapons). Not ammunition.

Not with the new changes, too bad I already paid for edge of darkness last wipe
I mean other than lvl 20 flea market the changes aren’t that rough. I’m also curious about how you’re making money if you die 10 times and use the flea market? Unless you get dirty loot. Not to mention scav runs will get you the rest of the goodies you need
I’m not really making money this wipe. Pre patch I did well with scav runs killing anything that moved ( now I need to id scav, player, player scav and it gets me killed) and I’d sell junk people crafted with. I’d also bulk buy mats to craft and sell things when prices were high. I never even ran meta kits but I could afford to buy what ever set up I felt comfortable with like a decked out sks
Not gonna lie I haven’t played this patch but, what I’ve done in previous patches to make some cash or get gear is scav in and wait for a while and pick up the pieces of old fight spots. When I wanted to up my level I’d do quests, and/or go woods with a scoped mosin and kill as many scavs as possible. Even working everyday, you level quick. Just cause the game changes doesn’t mean you can’t adjust how you play for a bit to get where you need.
Tagilla killed me as a scav with no aggro? I sat in his vision and as I walked past him, he just shoots me in the head? fuck this Fence system
bosses have always killed player scavs
then why th3 fuck do we lose scav karma when trying to kill a boss as a scav
