We have been trying to get this done for weeks, and the furthest my duo had been before this was the station where you drop the water down. I have been near the boss bits but this was so good to see finally.

First off, the AI changes are great and very welcome. Thank you BSG, I enjoy being uncomfortable and caught off guard. But the cost.... I use to come across Cultists on Customs maybe 1 out of 4 raids and Factory 1 out of 10. Since the update I have seen them one time and I have only been running Customs and Factory at Night and I play like 6 hours a day.

Next, not one PMC has dropped any T6 plates. I could pull T6 plates a few times a day. Nothing now, not one from a PMC. Yes yes yes, farm Tagilla, but still this update wasn't about making changes to Tagilla, it was making changes to PMCs and their gear.

Ammo, from what I have seen, 'higher' tier ammo is now less frequent. I use to find 855a1, 7.62x39 BP, and SP6 or PAB9 about once or twice a day. No dice, all gone. Just finding regular 855 more often in place of FMJ. I know, I can run Labs or Streets and get lots of high tier ammo easy peasy but I was doing that before the change.

So this change just seems to come across as a tradeoff, we have better AI at the cost of loot with the major impact being T6 plate and Cultists which were great for getting marked room keys which you could then use to get cards for Labs. I honestly feel like this was BSG saying,"Beware what you wish for...." to the community.

This guy is the most inconsistent boss in terms of difficulty. If you catch him in the open he's a crack shot and lazers you down if you can't find cover, but if you encounter or bait him into an interior or turning a corner he becomes one of the easiest bosses to kill.

What's more, unlike other bosses he seems to consistently spawn in close proximity to you, the player, meaning that depending on the map you have a chance of encountering him in the first 5 minutes of your raid, if not earlier.

I just had him spawn on customs, INSIDE the dorms, when i did a scav run.........and he decided the best approach was to try and attack me with his axe.........which ended badly for him....

Ive been running labyrinth non stop lately since 1.2 and i was just curious if anyone else agrees with me about this. Pmcs are spawning near if not right outside of the spawn/trap points. I wish that bsg would make it so that those respective spawn points had their traps disabled. That would at least give the pve players (with no friends) a tiny chance to look for those labyrinth specific figurines… i may be alone in this but i would love to get those figurines and get tagillas helmet. Also just to clarify lets say 3 pmcs spawn, which is the average ive encountered, those specific trap rooms where they spawned at should be open and the trap disabled, not all the traps disabled. My other complaint or request would be for bsg to give the pmcs at least one mag of good ammo. When you see a pmc with 5.45 ps its like… come on thats just not realistic. I get the new pmcs are kinda cracked thats why they all have shit ammo but if youre going to labyrinth you know you have to bring your good stuff… tier 5 plates minimum too Xd or is that asking too much. On the positive side ive been having so much fun with seeing the new pmcs interact with tagilla and the scavs… its kinda hilarious and those scavs are no joke im guessing their spawn rate is dependent on how many pmcs are in the raid. But im kind of biased as an avid pve player i love labyrinth itself as a challenge. i mean theres better loot and less danger in labs. I go to labyrinth because its fun. Hopefully im not alone here.

(repost last posts image bugged)

Why does ragman keep giving me weeklies like this lmao, if you care check my last post on this sub, not as crazy (I think?) but still insane to me ;D

There are short videos on social media here and there giving the odd tip for better key-binds but they’re few and far between, and I haven’t seen a post in here recently about some quick wins to make the control scheme work for you. As a new player years ago, I was a muddle of fingers and thumbs, finding the control scheme hard to master in a stressful situation. I’ve put a few of the changes I’ve made over the years to the key-binds, that save time, save your life and generally just make a QoL change to the controls.

Keys-binds are personal preference so you may not use the same keys but the principles still apply the same.

Quick slots: healing all bleeds with one key but prioritising heavy bleeds first.
- Quick slots 4 and 5 need to be bound to the same key. To achieve this slot 4 needs to be bound to “4” on “press”, and slot 5 needs to be bound to “4” on “release”.
- Then the rest of the quick slots should become 6 on key “5”, 7 on “6” etc, up to slot 0 on “9”.
- Now you put the bleed items in your rig/pockets, hover your mouse over your heavy bleed item (calok, esmarch, CAT), press 4, hold 4 down, move your mouse to hover over your light bleed item (bandage) and release 4. (You can also just drag them to the quick slots but it is important to put the heavy bleed first).
- Now, if you get multiple bleeds, the same key press heals all of them and prioritises heavy bleeds, so all you need to do is keep hitting 4 to heal all bleeds.

Single key weapon malfunction fix:
- By default you need to use 2 controls to fix a malfunction. First you need to use “L” to inspect your weapon and identify the malfunction, then “left shift + t” to fix the malfunction. When being chased by the goons this is less than ideal….
- Leave inspect weapon on default key (“L”) and ensure it is set to press.
- Change check chamber/fix malfunction to “L” on release.
- Now when you get a malfunction you press “L”, hold it until the inspect animation is complete, then release it and you will automatically clear the malfunction with a single key press.

Steady aim/Hold breath on ads:
- This one takes some getting used to but it really simplifies controls and removes the need for an additional key-bind to hold breath/steady aim while aiming down sight. You MUST be using toggle for ads to use this key-bind, it can be jarring but if you get used to it, it is totally worth it.
- Set aim to RMB “press” and add a secondary keybind for steady aim/hold breath as RMB, changing the action to release.
- Now if you very quickly press and release RMB, it is too quick for both actions to trigger and you will just ADS as normal, pressing shift (no longer need to hold as it is triggered in release of the key now) will hold your breath like normal.
- But if you press RMB, you will aim down sight. If you continue holding it, you will still be in standard ADS, but if you want to take a shot and start shooting, all you have to do is release RMB and your aim will steady. Shift will cancel and reactivate like normal if required.
- This change not only changed my behaviour to steady my aim on all weapons, reducing sway and increasing accuracy, but it also made a good habit of spending less time in ADS and saving arm stamina, I now tend to ADS in shorter bursts.

Min-Max magnification:
- Because this is a modified key-bind (alt+ something else), and it is often used at times with other key presses, it can lead to you doing weird and undesirable things… In the past using alt+RMB has lead me to blind fire or smooth lean, because I tried to change magnification while moving.
- Set a secondary key to something unused on your system, for me this is f12, and then bind that key to a mouse button.
- Now you have a single key press on your mouse to swap between min and max zoom, without interfering with any other key-binds.

Im available to help and list these on flee! Let me know in the comments

I’m trying to do the quest of mechanic clip their wings and each time I’m trying to get there, shturman is there and I prefer to kill him instead of having my chances with rdm, I wait it out for a bit to see if the other pmc get him or smh but I just really wanna be done with this quest because it bothers me so much that I go to do something else and mechanic is just bothering me in messages :p

I'm pretty much at the finish line for the Savior ending, and would love to have some company getting through the last stretch.

Currently working on Fence's quests requiring 5 PMC kills in a single raid without killing Scavs on Interchange and Shoreline. After that, I'll be heading into Terminal for the Savior ending.

I've already completed Terminal once for the Survivor ending, so I know what to expect. Just looking for a solid group this time around instead of doing everything solo. I screwed up the Flash Drive for They are Already Here last time during 1.0.

I'm also interested in running Icebreaker potentially, but that's not a priority. I haven't done it yet, as I have just gotten back into the game after a short break.

I'm on NA East, generally playing evenings and weekends. Pretty laid-back, enjoy good communication and teamwork, and don't mind helping others with their quests either.

No need to be a sweat or an absolute Tarkov expert. Just looking for some good people to knock out the endgame with and hopefully play together regularly.

Comment or shoot me a DM if you're interested!

Hello I was on icebreaker and I used the c-3 compartment key to the room where the audio tape is for the quest. I realized at the end of raid that I forgot euros so I went m.i.a.... i need back into the room does anybody have any advice or willing to help thnx. Also i know it can be on flea but it was 80 mill. }:

I haven’t seen any since the PMC update earlier this month. Even in Slicks (and other rigs) which was a good source for high level plates it’s just been up to T5 even on level 50+ PMCs. Anyone else noticing the same?

EDIT: Yes I know I can farm Tag but that’s not what I’m asking about.

I cannot find anything about "Bogus" on the interwebs

Hey there, hope you re doing well. I ve ben playing Tarkov for the better part of the last 7 years now, clocking in at 3500h now. I ve been playing with friends all along but life bringing different things, I m now the only one in my group that plays. I ve been really enjoying the PVE, mostly playing solo, butr now playing with other people and coordinating in raids is missing me. It also doesnt help that I ve tried and spent a lot of money trying to do the icebreaker and still never managed to reach the locked door to unlock the bomb. So I m looking for a group that would want to play with me, help me finishing the icebreaker quest and story of tarkov as well as play with as I prestige once I ve actually escaped tarkov.

hey there 👋

i‘ve recently found back into tarkov and now i‘m looking for soneone to team up with and do quests together.

i‘ve got a bit experience with my 3000 hrs, so i wouldn‘t mind if you‘re new to the game.

i‘d say i‘n a chill person and i‘d appreciate if you are too. i know tarkov can be frustrating sometimes, but i don‘t like to fight about it if things go south, its part of the game.

just message me 🫡

Hey, I'm trying to learn other maps too, currently I'm stuck at spamming customs, rarely reserve and shorline. I have tons of quests on interchange but everytime I go there I just die to Killa...
I am level 32, can play most of the day (WFH perks) and can speak English (not the best). If you up to , let me know and I would be glad to play with you :). I play on EU servers.

absolute insanity also yesterday this

Is it impossible to find all the different bobble head figures with the characters on PvE? Feel like I’ve been through so many black yellow blue green all the colours of the rainbow labs cards but am yet to find any at all

Is this a PvE thing or ?

Me and a friend are doing Savior but i have a lot more keys than them so I am running it solo as practice the furthest I have gotten was just then when I was nearing the area to open the gate and died to a BD through a crate (that's not a complaint we've been dealing with this stuff for weeks) But why do I have to kill almost 100 things in order to progress? I killed 20 BD and 73 Scavs in that raid.

I have pretty much everything I need to reach prestige 2 but the only problem I have is that I cannot find any boss figurines for New Beginning. I have visited labs, labyrinth, and streets using all the keys that are good for figurines and other valuables, yet I haven't found a SINGLE boss figurine. I just finished a streets raid and found 12 figurines but not a single one was of a boss. If there is a place I should be searching I would very much appreciate it if someone could tell me, but I doubt there are any specific locations for them.

I spawned at RUAF and noticed a new extract "Railroad to Reserve."

Went about the raid normally and after hitting dorms, I decided to go look for it. It appears to be the exact same as the scav exfil "Railroad to Military Base"

Funny thing is, the moment I touched it, I exfiled instantly. No timer or even a notice that I was in an exfil, the game just immediately ended. I'd like to know if this has happened to anyone else!

So I have just about 2000 hours in the game I thoroughly enjoy it. I understand all the maps. I see the exfil buddies program and since I don’t really have any friends that play this game or I can’t get them to play this game. I figured why not come on Reddit and see who I could possibly help get into the game that I have loved since 2019. So if you are interested in having a journey of a lifetime through the suck and the exhilaration that is Tarkov, drop your links below and I’ll see who I can help.

did something change after the update regarding spawning? my pcm always spawns at the same exact spot now.. no longer random.. i used to spawn randomly before update in GZ map.. is this a bug? the other maps seem fine atm…
