    It’s the big building beyond crackhouse in the train yard. I’ve found it there before.

    I had 3 scav junk boxes full of random shit that I used for the dailies. Now it feels like all I can find is soap and cigarettes

    Haha, yes. 3 is the best investment. I’m at two because I rushed my hideout and I’m not rich yet.

    Jesus, I have 1 that is filled right now with shit that I can probably sell.

    Medicine case
    Magazine case
    Ammo case
    Junk box
    Food case
    2 wallets

    Hideout:
    Level 3 - Vents, Lavatory, Illumination, Nutrition Unit, and Heating
    Level 2 - Security, Rest Space, Medstation, Generator, Workbench, and Water Collector
    Level 1 - Intelligence Center

    Only 1.6m. Any recs?

    Push mechanic 2 so you can buy Wi-Fi cameras and craft nixxors. Good money.

    I found EMS key and a lion and Tetris in interchange. Ran out the back of Goshan with 5m left and got killed by Killa.

    cool

    Oh I meant in the last wipe. Made those sorts of dailies super easy. The flea is so clunky to use so I ended up just hoarding a bunch of crap. I think I vendored it all for about 8m when fence was buying stuff for top dollar

    I must have to find the gpu and cpu fans. Worth 150k in roubles for the security camera?

    No that’s why you wait for mechanic 2. He sales them for 400 euros.

    I am mechanic 2 but it says locked behind a quest.

    Farming Part 4 shows 2 unknown rewards

    Oh then yes you need to finish whatever quest that is. Nixxors going for like 80-90k right now.

    Also last wipe I got into some weird situation where I had the necessary level and money spent, but somehow I was .1 away from leveling up a trader and there weren't any quests for me to do

    I think it was peacekeeper level 3

    Grand, can’t wait to find these GPUs. Been running SCAV interchange in the dead of the night and going to the offices for computer parts.
     
  13. Butthead

    Butthead narmas, narmas

    Make sure you hit that help desk thing in oli also. It's like a 30 second run from the offices. I think people are afraid to loot there because you're pretty fucked if someone rolls up on you but if you're scaving then who cares

    Yes. They can be crafted in intelligence center once it’s leveled up.

    I've never really messed with the hideout beyond the work bench and shooting range. The prospect of scav quests has me actually doing stuff

    Intelligence center lowers your scav timer which is massive early wipe

    Yeah level 2 is a 35% reduction or something like that I think

    Mostly I just want the scav quests :warn:

    30 hours left for flash drives. Dear lord why is intelligence center 2 so slow
     
  21. Butthead

    Butthead narmas, narmas

    in previous wipes i didn't really know the locations and whatnot. i just kind of ran around and scav'd a lot. and i stashed away my good shit for no reason. ie
    i got nothing out of that loadout. so i've been playing way more aggressively.

    an ai scav just 1-tapped me in the face while i was wearing a ulach. this game is good

    i like that scavs are more dangerous but it doesn't really feel like they tuned the ai beyond "be better at shooting"

    i've also run into a few that don't seem to make any noise when they run

    ok so the scav quests can be stupid as hell. kill 4 pmcs from more than 40 yards away :laugh:

    I got kill 13 PMCs. There’s only a few maps that even have that many. Rerolling is ok unless it takes away rep

    Hit 31 last night and was doing some resort missions. Got absolutely rolled over and lost like 400k in gear. Humbling.

    Currently doing setup/silent caliber. Shooo can be so frustrating. Always double up those bad boys and craft AP-20 like crazy leading up to it. I’ve got about 400 slugs to go through.

    No. Setup is 15 PMC kills on customs with a Ushanka and Scav vest. Silent caliber can be anywhere but typically i save my dorm kills to do there as well at the same time. Need one dorm kill and 7 more PMCs.

    The faster you can get to punisher 5 (I think it’s this one maybe 4), the better because paca/ratnik is still viable spamming factory. It won’t be too much longer though.

    even with the shit ammo it still hits like a truck because it shoots so fast

    I’m punisher, part 2. Running solo in Tarkov… makes it much more Tarkovish.

    had to escape shoreline to complete a quest. I figure going down to that little scav house by tunnels is a good idea. I get there, no scavs in sight, I know I fucked up right then. I’m making my way back toward land through the boat, and dead.

    Also at the point where I need a ton of keys that I don’t have. My tasks list is giving me anxiety because I can’t clear them faster than they go on.

    Yep when they added lighthouse quests it made the list feel untenable. On the bright side, there are now quests to get you to the mid 40s which is more than we used to have.

    Once we hit 44 or so like 4-5 wipes ago, there wasn’t much left.

    Shoreline is tough the longer you wait. Keys are brutal too.

    Really getting into a groove of scaving at Reserve. I feel like 90% of the time I have a backpack that’s 25+ inventory slots and I’m in and out anywhere from 5-10mins. Usually around 300-500k per raid.

    Literally just finished it, was gonna be so mad but for once Tarkov was kind. I’m standing in the doorway of offices to the outside, dudes sprinting up, I back up, can’t wait for him to get inside, done him with a shotgun and luckily completed the quest. Now soloing at night in reserve, fun.

    just got drop-shot 1-tapped to the head by someone with PEEPEE in his name from 100 meters away 45 seconds into my first game. i think that's it for me for tonight
