Escape from Tarkov V2 - Rootin' tootin' leg shootin' - Games

I play with friends as well, but whenever I do play alone I always run into this one guy who isnt being careful. But I still get killed.

Welcome to Tarkov.

but by that time the good shit is gone, you need to assert dominance and shoot them IN THE FUCKING HEAD, players and scavs alike all the while spamming F1

Doing an analytical video of the average loot on the laboratory block level 2 key, and i'm getting a testing pool of 100 raids. I've only done 30 so far, and from just the ophthalmoscopes alone i've made over 1.4 mil. That's not even counting every syringe, just the adrenaline alone adds another 400k about. That laboratory room is the most lucrative looting spot in the entire game, I swear to god. Just hatchet run with a buddy and split the loot, one brings a meds case in the gamma and the other the keys, and you can easily make upwards of a couple mil an hour just from that, not even considering getting out with scav loot. I've also now got more grizzly's, ifaks, morphine, vaseline, splints, golden star, painkillers, and any other med item than I could ever use in a wipe. If you need meds, GO FARM THAT ROOM. Thing is, I was farming that room a bit a few weeks ago and it felt like I was getting an insane amount more than what i'm getting now. It's like i'm looting a nerfed version of the room but it's still absolutely batshit insane. Here's the loot from 30 raids of running in and disconnecting after fully looting. https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/225137/cee66ba9-0f6b-4701-a01a-bcf065c3878e/image.png

Still worth it with just an alpha? Maybe just go for the highest tier stuff.

its worth the price of the key for sure but most of the time i dont find that much there, first run i got about 6 stims and a mp7. if you get the lobby spawn going weapon testing room then there your pretty much guaranteed some good gear

Playing dayz recently reminded me of just how bad the visual fidelity in EFT is. Its awful. Everything past about 25 meters is a mess visually. I dont think its to do with the lack of AA like people keep suggesting either, i play dayz (and similarly, ArmA) with no AA enabled and a human target at 100 meters looks like a human target, not an indistinguishable mess of pixels along with the rest of the environment. Being that I'm not that familiar with 3D development (and it would be nice if someone who does know about it could postulate as to what is going on. EFT is not the only recent popular shooter that has had this kind of bad rendering either) I dont know what the true cause is here, and can only hope this massive unity update theyve been talking about will change things for the better.

its because of the 100 meter fog that sets in which makes everything hazy and makes it hard to spot movement, believe me once you play alot of EfT you can even see people in bushes sometimes cuz u literally see a pixel that isnt supposed to be there

speaking of visuals, and as someone who hasn't been able to buy and play the game yet, is the seemingly thorough gritty look of the game even in its 'cleaner' areas something there are settings for? from screenshots and videos the looks overly processed to me, since i kinda expect a cleaner look from modern game engines. not to detract from how the game is surely great overall, though.

You can disable basically all the post processing effects but the game is naturally gritty, best way to gauge how it looks it look on twitch as people rock it with settings that drop all the pointless visual junk.

alright so where do I actually find maps? cuz I'm getting fed up of doing quite well only to fail because I've no idea where the exit points are. And on that note, where do I actually find loot in most maps, as all I seem to find are fuckin screws n shit (which I assume is junk) and the only stuff I get is just the shit guns scavs carry.

i used these ones when i started out (the customs is kinda outdated due to the map expansion removing like half the pmc extracts, theres like only 6 extracts in total left now https://i.redd.it/cdd1wdochb601.jpg https://i.redd.it/4jm80xp4ob601.jpg

Here's the ones that I use: - Customs: https://i.redditmedia.com/l3GOuZ17KlOs5NWfGXuUetpnWVFWVE0rjsLPLoPnVf0.jpg?s=fc62d0e8a495608b33d54aafca9c9624 - Interchange (not in English): https://minioncube.de/karten/#/?map=26 - Woods: https://i.redd.it/4jm80xp4ob601.jpg - The Lab: https://i.redd.it/if3c97anbj621.png - Shoreline: https://d1u5p3l4wpay3k.cloudfront.net/escapefromtarkov_gamepedia/thumb/c/c8/Shoreline_loot_map_1.1.jpg/800px-Shoreline_loot_map_1.1.jpg - Factory: https://d1u5p3l4wpay3k.cloudfront.net/escapefromtarkov_gamepedia/thumb/2/25/FactoryCalloutsMap.jpg/800px-FactoryCalloutsMap.jpg

alot of the scav ones on customs still exist they just moved to the new perimeter and havnt been renamed

Always know you made a new 'friend' when you kill someone and see them friend request you post raid. Me and 2 friends working our way around labs, happened to be in the mini Kiba room above the reception area thingy, saw this guy come out the door so I pop his head in 2 easy taps. Was thinking about offering the guy his gear back but the first thing he messages me is that I'm a camper faggot and I apparently spent all raid in that room. Okay. Nevermind, goodbye lol.

Hello it's me, guy you want to give gear to, that was my brother

It's already solllllld. I sold it out of spite, rather than using it and having someone else possibly picking it up.

I've been kinda toying with getting this for a while. I'm pretty on the fence still but I'm leaning toward it. Any pros/cons I should know about before actually picking it up?

Game is mostly a buggy mess and suffers from bipolar disorder. If you have pals you don't mind doing several money-making runs with you're probably gonna have a good time until you lose what you saved up to some one-tapper on Customs.

It's never been more fun. I accidentally make so much money doing the odd task here and there that I can go out into labs with whatever frankenstein weapon I've slapped together for fun. In general the firefights are good fun and I really only die (or feel cheated in general) when some guy with a minigun runs my ass down and I'm too under-equipped to compete. Right now, my only complaint would be how the introduction of the new map has made the other maps rather desolate of player activity.. Man, the second you take gear out you're supposed to write it off as LOST FOREVER. As far as the rest of your post, it sounds like you suffer from the worst combination of: gear-fear & being a poor gunfighter in general.

Thanks to labs you can pretty much be swimming in money and gear in no time though

Should Labs current status is a symptom of the Beta. When the game releases you'll go through each map in sequence, Labs being fairly end game

Ah, that's good news.. But for right now? We need something done for next wipe or else everybody will just continue to grind it non-stop. Either lock it behind a timer or come up with some token system or something. I'm not the only one who notices customs is considerably more empty, right ?

I kinda like Woods being fairly empty. It feels tense.

Labs needs to stay, mostly as it is, since its the only thing working as a slight equaliser in the game right now.

Weird, I find I just run around without a care in the world if I get long queue times, means there's only a couple others on, usually they're hatchlings too.
