The scav was behind a wall and for some reason just stayed there the entire time, we could hear this guy mag dumping endlessly for several minutes straight

Count the frames

Apparently Tarkov has been transported to the Southern Hemisphere, as the Sun on GZ was in the northern sky and moving right to left.

From streamer @홍돌_Hongdol, presenting the door peek. This just gets funny and frustrating if this is the new "meta" just to counter wedge rip.

Every new boss just gets given more aimbot and cheat powers, what happened to realism?!?!?!

farming tracksuit when i heard this guy come up behind me... didnt even realize i killed him until after i saw his body..

love these moments where your like "oh shit i actually dropped him" lmao.

im guessing he was also farming tracksuit cus he was also fairly high level. MY KILLA KILL! hehe

(also sorry if it looks dark on your end, i play with my NVIDIA display settings turned up a bit so sometimes videos look darker than they should)

Why must people do this?

Attempt 26, and i finally get a run where i get to that spot again with the 4 BD right at the end for the 2nd time. Finally ive been able to take out the 2 BD at the silos. (I always have to do it myself since the RUAF are useless)

I only need to kill 2 more BD on that spot and they are coming one by one. But I had to push in quite far because they spawned at the very end. I hear them waddling along. I think this is the fucking run. SUDDENLY i have Tagilla coming around back, i am sandwiched between the BD and Tagilla. This MF tagilla comes in and ONE SHOTS MY ASS. How did he get there? Im all the way like i marked on the map. And of course its the only boss i cant just headshot when he comes around the corner.

Now I had been told on multiple occasions that the scav boss is not there on the south side, that its just a long way around so you need to be good on time as tradeoff. Well well, here comes Tagilla without ever being in my line of sight.

Rant over. Im really beyond my limit with this RNG, but its the last fucking thing i need to do before i can retire in peace.

I prepared that montage for myself and I thought I'd share it, if anyone ever finds it useful.
I used the maximum magnification for each scope.

I was literally just chilling in cover with a bunch of friendly AI Scavs, minding my own business, when Big Pipe decided to push me.

Naturally, I defended myself and killed him. Apparently, that was enough for all my Scav buddies to immediately decide I was public enemy number one.

How does this make any sense? The Goons are Rogue ex-PMCs, not Scavs. They're hostile toward us, and killing them isn't supposed to cost Scav karma. So why do AI Scavs suddenly treat you like a traitor for defending yourself?

One second we're all hanging out together, and the next they're trying to kill me because I shot the guy who was trying to kill me.

Is this actually intended behaviour, or just another broken AI mechanic that's been left in the game for years?

Clip attached. I'd love to know what I was supposed to do differently here. Just let Big Pipe kill me? Or kill him and then get wasted by the scavs?

Hello community,

As the title states, does anyone know? I couldn't find it while googling, and I am unsure whether or not I get the posters and things as well again after I go for my next prestige. Because if I won't regain/keep it, I will just skip those unlocks in the seasonpass. I would expect it that I won't regain the BD Crates and things.

I have been trying to kill him on reserve cus I don't know lighthouse and don't wanna learn it. I have been to reserve countless times now but still no sign of him. Regularly checking the food warehouse, k train buildings and the barracks area but still no sign of him.

Any of you guys running into him on reserve?

I just wrapped up everything I wanted out of Seasonal unlocks. To celebrate my LV-119 v1 unlock, I ran Ice Breaker four times in a row. The lack of enjoyment and absence of any meaningful reward made the whole thing feel like a waste of time.

I committed to this first season to unlock a rig I can’t even reliably purchase because there’s an aimbot hacker camping the red BD tags I need to buy it.
I’d figured out BD Helipad and Bomb Door clears through a lot of trial and error, and I was genuinely excited to get back to working through Wedge once I finished Seasonal. Instead, I’m coming back to a mode that’s not even enjoyable anymore.

Next time I’ll know better than to let Seasonal rewards trick me. I could’ve spent another month enjoying Ice Breaker before the broken smoke changes ruined it.

I’d rather see Ice Breaker turn into a 1v1 PvP map with a rat camping the corners than play a game that breaks its own mechanics rather than put effort into adding new ones or improving existing ones.

Seasonal was fun though, just pointless given there’s not really a reward at the end given the intentional sabotage and I don’t trust putting time into a season 2.

Is anyone else experiencing problems with the bullet penetration in this game? All day I am getting out performed by ai with fmj while I’m shooting 45+ pen ammo.

So I have done all there is and gotten the C-3 keycard, but this is what I have left. Is this bugged??

Idk what they did but ever since a server maintenance a few weeks ago it's been abysmal

I’ve run countless night raids on customs and a few on factory and still haven’t found any cultists.

Are they just walking around like normal scavs and PMCs or are they always hiding in bushes and vegetation?

Hello everyone. I am a new player in EFT (30 with something hours) and i play PvE. Any tips?

these dudes man

[Discussion]

Does anyone have anymore bugged builds? Reminded me of the AK build that turned into Applejuice. IYKYK.

I haven't been able to play EFT for 4 days now every time i queue i get kicked and it says awaiting server response and i get my kit back anyone know a fix?

Edit I tried reinstalling and some network cmds and still nothing

My friend from work keeps begging me to buy Escape from Tarkov with the PvE expansion and swears it's one of the best games ever lol. I know Tarkov helped pave the way for games like ARC Raiders, Arena Breakout Infinite, Active Matter, Gray Zone Warfare and Marathon, but I'm curious what makes it stand out so much because it clearly has to be doing something right.

Marathon is the extraction shooter I've played the most. I love the visuals, gunplay and contracts that give me reasons to keep coming back, while I put around 12 hours into ARC Raiders before getting bored. I'm honestly not great at these games either and probably get destroyed 90% of the time in Marathon 😂

I'm especially curious about Tarkov's PvE mode. Is it genuinely fun to play solo for hundreds of hours, progressing through quests, collecting gear and upgrading your hideout, or does it eventually get repetitive? What keeps you coming back to Tarkov over other extraction shooters?

The biggest thing holding me back is the price. Around $80 for the base game and PvE expansion is a lot when I could end up getting bored after five hours. For those who've spent the money, what makes it worth it?

Also, with Halloween coming up, how good are Tarkov's events? Do they actually change the atmosphere, with spooky map decorations, Halloween-themed bosses, unique encounters or anything that makes the maps feel different? Or is it mostly cosmetics and extra rewards? And do they do anything memorable for Christmas, too?

Lastly, are there any free extraction shooters with a similar feel to Tarkov, preferably with PvE, that you'd recommend trying first without spending the $80?

My friend makes this game sound like nothing else compares, so I really want to understand what I'm missing lol.
