Wearing class 5 armor, got hit 3 times by 7N40 died.

Shooting PPBS, 13 hits 308dmg to body, 184 dmg to armor.

Obligatory: Shots 1-5: Clearly missed.
Shots 6-9: Missed due to recoil (bad spray control).
Shots 10-11: Very close, but recoil and inaccuracy make these reasonable misses.
Shot 12: Likely didn't actually fire because Hiko was already dead.

btw i just want to say to BSG that this game is really fucking great. So amazing that I would recommend anyone that is new to the extraction shooter game to just NOT touch tarkov like "EVER." And probably just go play on arena breakout. WHY IS IT THAT I AM STUCK? My character is bleeding, bc i am dehydrated and i was looting for water after getting the fattest lick. Then its also near end the of raid so yea let just make ur life harder and plus its on street. Yea, the biggest middle finger to ur face if ur budget for pc is mid range. So I reload my game only to come back to "dead" on the screen. it took nearly 5min to get back into the raid while other map only took 1-2min. why? idk. . . what am i suppose to do here ?

As title states, I was killed by this guy and I just think the kills and hours are a little obsurd for only being a lvl 19, and it even said prestige lvl 0.

This has never happened to me ever before and I have at least 100 Icebreaker raids behind me. Stood slightly to the right of the extract helipad to loot the three BDs and started to hear gunshots in the distance and got folded. They sounded like they came from the BDs guarding the door you have to breach.
Were the BDs at that door always able to snipe you if you are on helipad? From where I stood they could have also totally sniped me while extracting too.

After getting promoted every week, last week I failed to promote to Rank V with 2.2 million xp, 25th had 2.314 million XP. Honestly I want the legs from rank VII and that's all I care about. But honestly, what do you guys think?

I had a discussion recently with my play group and we came to the conclusion that everyone is looking for something different in Tarkov. no play style is better or worse. We all get our enjoyment out of the game somewhere. I personally love power levelling. So the ranked play is really scratching an itch. I've really enjoyed seasonal after 4 years off the game.

I think my next challenge is speed run to prestige 6 on my main which is fresh because i haven't touched it since 1.0.

I just failed the juiciest weekly I ever had because I didn't focus on it enough and I missed too many headshots on sanitar. I hope to get more of these weeklys, but this one was insane. Rusted Key plus 1mill roubles, plus 250k xp and some other things. Yes please! Hard quest though! :(

I’m trying to hunt cultists for the story chapter but i can’t find them anywhere. I’ve probably done like 15 night raids on customs and haven’t seen a single one. I go straight to fortress and scan the whole area all the way to crackhouse. anyone else having this issue or can has any tips??

If like me you have a dogshit CPU and updated your GPU to get more out of Tarkov read this.

If this doesn't apply to you move on.

First of all you will need at least 32gb of RAM to play Streets or Tarkov with high textures, DDR 4 2 x 16gb sticks (recent got second hand) is what I use - my motherboard and CPU are 7 years old. I have a 2700x CPU and ROG STRIX B450-F GAMING motherboard. I have a QVO SSD.

These settings are for 1.0. - Your results may vary but the performance difference is amazing.

My GPU is RADEON 9060 XT 16gb

Settings:

PUT YOUR TEXTURES ON HIGH (THIS USES YOUR GPU NOT CPU)

USE STREETS LOW TEXTURE MODE AND TEST IT.

PUT SHADOW QUALITY ON HIGH (OFF LOADS FROM CPU to GPU)

ENABLE "USE PHYSICAL CORES ONLY"

PLAY IN BORDERLESS MODE (TEST FULLSCREEN, THIS WORKS BEST FOR ME)

AA = TTA

AMD FSR 2.2 / 3.0 OFF (Does nothing but make the game look like shit)

EVERYTHING ELSE LOW or OFF

LOD = 2

OVERAL VISABILITY = 1000

DISABLE GAME FPS LIMIT = ON

POST FX = OFF - USE AMD CONTRAST BOOST or NVIDIA COLOUR SETTINGS

AREA LIGHT ASSISTANCE: ON - THIS WAS THE SETTING THE CHANGED EVERYTHING

This increased my FPS at 2560 x 1440 from sub 40 to 70-90fps on streets. All other maps are 100+ FPS. No stutters, no lag, no feeling like you are playing under water. I can finally use scopes.

If this helps one person make the game playable like it did for me, my work is done.

I ask because ragman asks specific for you to check on him later after you complete it, and in the task description he says he will try to get their gear or at least have a copy of it (his "own" version)

Maybe something for the next wipe or a achievement or smth of sorts?

I understand that a lot of people post about the blooded rusty key. But, I have a feeling this one might be a little bit different. I'd like to hear yalls opinions on this. Because to me someone has a lot of 'splaining to do... I spawned at rusty key spawn.. Got it and ran to green flare. Grabbed two cameras and went back in. Here's what the room offered me. I did not leave one item out. I also spent about 10 mins searching the entire room to ensure I did not miss anything. Yes, this is PVP seasonal. Yes, I got the quest done.

Hi anyone playing from the Philippines here? Or anyone can help for some quest? I'm only level 15.

In my dream world I could replay a top-down map showing everyone's movement and detailed stat breakdown over multiple encounters, but can we just get this in the meanwhile?

My first ever Tarkov raid was exactly one month ago. I’m currently lvl 33 with approximately 215hrs. I was told by a friend to pick the average modifier because according to him I was never going to reach lvl 25 until the end of the season anyways.
Lately I can’t shake feeling annoyed that my strength and search skills and maybe a few others are hard capped. Would I reasonably be able to meaningfully pass lvl 25 in strength endurance and maybe metabolism before the next season wipe if I keep playing at this pace? Keep in mind that after that first day with my friend I did everything else solo with the help of YouTube. It literally took me a week to get from lvl 6 to level 10 because I just didn’t know how to rank up.
I’m totally addicted to this game and I literally just extracted from labs for the first time 2 days ago and can craft 3 cards at a time via hideout.
I also have everything to go to icebreaker but I’m too scared to do the transit. I made one attempt and saw ppl camping the pier. I waited for 20 mins then just turned around and extracted lol.
Every trader is lvl 3 and my fence is at 2.00 rep.
I just want to know if I should just play this one out or if it’s worth it to start over and do it right with maybe the Prodigy modifier instead.

Whats up this wipe that Im loading into raids 2 minutes late and constantly crashing during raid load? Before you say pc...half my raids load on time and no issues. Other times the server is constantly d-syncing and launching me back 300 feet. Other times are like this where im waiting to sync with players. I mean wtf did yall fuck up? are yall just trying to sell more subsriptions to gearup???

Why does every game in seasonal have this guy right now? Just got beamed on woods by a guy that just runs up in my vicinity, says hello a lot, and then throws grenades at me. I thought the posts were exaggerating but this is clearly a trend now.

My first raid and I'm doing the mark the tankers and find the exits tasks.

I get to the front of the left side of the mall and KILLA is outside the front and beams me through a shipping container.

I'm in for a long night. :/

With about 50 days left in the season, I'm curious how many people have switched back to main/PvE and how many are still grinding seasonal.

Recently, I have made several posts asking some rather specific questions, some of them poorly phrased because of my lacking knowledge of the game.
However, the general idea is always the same :
Is there any idea you had while playing, or things you would do differently, that you would like to share ?
I am as much interested in the idea itself, as to why a member of the tarkov community would want things done differently

I'm getting soft blocked because I can't get these keys but I check the spawns and they never spawn. Does anyone know how to get them.

So I am currently lvl 49 and have completed a lot of tasks. One task I am not receiving is hunstman path sadist. I have completed chemistry closet and most other tasks that used to come before Sadist. Has anyone else had this issue in Season 1?

I'm a new player, about 15 hours into the game so far and I gotta say I do like it. But there is one thing that fucking pisses me off so much that I almost broke my desk. I seem to be getting one shot no matter where I am whether in the open or in a building, most of yall would be telling me its just a random player shooting at me but It happens even with a decent armour and when I try to see who killed me in the deathscreen or wtv it is called there isn't either a username, nor those random bot names that Scavs have. Am I just fucking delusional or no? I cannot figure out what the fuck is happening and it mostly seems to be happening neae the end of my raids.

In Contract wars there was a hardcore gamemode where u cant play with your character’s skills that you unlock, everyone has the same hp and u dont have any hud showing ur health or anything else, also i think the guns had more damage

I had an idea what if they add something like that to tarkov, no hud , no skills everyone is equal and no Stims?

A nade kill that makes you finish a subtask!

And that mission is ass. I did finish it in one raid though which is beginners luck (im 3k hours in lmao)

Level 61, I've completed Trouble in the Big City, Battery Change, and all of the Labyrinth tasks I got by progressing and completing the story Task.
I remember getting and immediately failing Simple Side Job pre-1.0 because I had powered through the BTR task line before meeting Lightkeeper. I'd like to not make that mistake again; I just don't remember how I got it in the first place.
I talked to lightkeeper more than 24 hours after finishing all of these prior tasks, and he has nothing for me. What am I missing? TIA

it just let me transfer it, i cant put it on flea
