Imagine having to do quests in Tarkov without the wiki. None of these quests are designed for that. Like, it should be that Prapor tells you "Hey, so there is this abandoned ttain car on Customs, west of the old gas station. Here, I've marked it on your map". But so many quests are just "Find where this thing is" and if you didn't have a Wiki, you'd just never ever find it. Hell, I'd imagine 90% of new players wouldn't find the damn pocket watch if nobody told them where to look.
There's a set of spawns I call "5 minute spawns". If you load into one, you're required to sit behind concealment for 5 minutes before you get to play the raid. Good time to get up and get a drink.
I mean, maps are now getting released at a steady pace. Once the whole Tarkov region is covered version 1.0 shouldn't be too far. Yeah I'm the optimistic kind of guy😅.
The lack of any major quest overhauls was the most disappointing part of this wipe (and every wipe) for me. So many of these tasks feel so extremely dated. Gating players behind rng item spawns, requiring keys that you can't buy until level 15 so they completely gate your progression up to that level, quests still ordered based on when their maps were released and having to play the same map dozens of times in a row to get all of them done. Tasks are a chore and players have been doing the same poorly thought out monotonous bullshit for years now, so to see no changes is extremely disheartening. I feel like the tasks, all of them, need to be completely reworked and sequenced better to fit with the game tarkov has become, not the game tarkov was when shoreline came out.

Spawned there last week with a friend. 5 seconds in I told him "Look, Im gonna prove a point" and peeked my head up outside the bunker and died instantly to a guy that was standing on the hill to the right.
the snow REALLY makes you stand out like crazy. on every map. usually i dont notice people across the little lake next to lumber mill on woods but now you INSTANTLY see other people running there from a mile away and just blast them. it looks cool but it also makes certain areas even more deadly
Forgot about Reserve being unplayable because you either die 0-2 minutes in to spawncamping (80% of spawns are within 3 seconds of running to be within eyesight of eachother) or you die 10 minutes in to the 100 player scavs (you can legit spawn in minute 32).
I feel like streets replaced reserve to some extent as being the map with good loot and early scav spawns. But that map is actually big enough to handle it and has reasonable extracts. Doesn't feel like there's much of a reason to play on reserve anymore
@@cronotriggered4314 Streets did kinda take the crown of the scav capital but it's also really broken. I think they broke the time limiter this wipe on pscavs because people were complaining too much on not being able to get free loot. I have had multiple times where I die to a pscav sitting in a bush within the first five minutes of a streets raid. The most ridiculous one was getting shot in the back by a pscav that spawned in basically behind me before the second minute ticked over.
@@balinthehater8205 were people really complaining about that? There's more loot on that map than every player in the raid can pick up and get out with I feel like there's literally always money to be made even if you were to spawn with 10 minutes left. Part of the appeal of scaving streets is that early spawn though I think, people like raids that still feel alive. There's plenty of scav bucks to be made on other maps if you know where to look but most people don't want to hop into a raid that's completely empty.
Sad to see so many people agreeing with my conclusion that tarkov is a game which the heart grows fonder for the less you play it. I feel like the wipe preceding the found in raid update was the best we have ever gotten. The best content was made on the game around then, people were more risky and things were more tense. There were far less cheaters. Just a reminder of the good old days.
the scav time to spawn also is killing the game, when you spawn in on streets you get like 2 minutes to fight off the pmcs and then the player scavs start spawning
Player scavs should ONLY be spawning in after let’s say at least 75% of the PMCs have left or died. they are scavengers, they are not meant to be getting the good loot, they are meant to be picking through the leftovers hoping something was missed.
@gasad01374 scavengers is just the English term for scavs. In Russia they're called feral, and most directly supposed to be able to interact and kill pmcs. It's literally 100% a purposeful part of the game.
So, about the Piranha rounds, they have a massive cone compared to other shells. Even larger than Flechette. It just has huge spread. It's a barrel-stuffer shell, you have to play with it like you would CoD shotguns, by getting as close as possible.
the player scavs this wipe are ridiculous Im getting pushed by 5 player scavs on NIGHT RAIDS within 10 minutes of a shoreline match I cannot be the only one seeing this every map has turned into the lighthouse scav crap where they spawn at the loot before you do
almost completed pocket watch quest,a guy with 100 hours on his account,70% survival rate and 40kd peeks me from the other side of the map with a stockless,scopeless svd and one taps me...
They ban people for trading in the game because they can't deal with the black market. But, classically, honest players suffer because cheaters care about it anyway. I remember the times when you could put two armors, but I also remember the times when a normal scav had a chance to appear and you had to go to the factory map to get these vests there.
Which is silly, because there's nothing stopping you from going into a night raid on factory, waiting for the maybe 1-2 other PMC's to leave, and then putting the armor (or any other loot you can't drop) in your bag and letting a scav kill you so your friend can loot it off your corpse. Because this works, RMT also works, and therefore BSG haven't actually done anything to stop it.
Fortunately, they tend to be fairly common on scavs. Hell, it's one of the most common armors I get on scav runs, along with the 6B2 (🤢) and the Kirasa (💕)
“So even if Piranha isn’t that good of a round, it doesn’t matter if you sprint past a bushwookie and get back sh-… shot in the back..” Epic ninja energy.
Bro, the points you made about lighthouse are everything I've been feeling about this map. Doing punisher part 4 has become unbearable, it's extremely boring and punishing because of the map.
I've actually had a lot of luck with shotguns and especially piranha this wipe. It's been an amazing round for me and honestly feels not much different from flechette
Yeah piranha could be even better than flechettes since it has 2 additional pellets per shot. So with my 153, if I spam shots with my 7 rnd tube. I could hit up to 70 pellets instead of 56.
Not for me, tried piranha for a bit then just deleted all of the remaining of it and went over to magnum buckshot again. Pretty much every time I used it the enemy either are a full tube before going down or athe the rounds for breakfast when going for the head. At least magnum is consistent in that sense. You know what to go for while piranha is just screaming in the corner being confused about its existence.
Sew it good part 3 was changed recently!!! Now you only need the 6B13 Assault Armors which are the level 4 ones! Only downside is they must be found in raid, wish they changed this before turning in my zabralo
Any quest that requires me to have a key is always a tilt point for me. The price is always gouged on the flea, and any effort to make the key worth it for any other reason only make the problem worse - if yoh put loot behind the door, other people will want the key for the loot, which drives the price up. If you make it a barter, people know which items are needed for it, so their prices go up. It just seems like maybe sending me to rooms in Customs or Reserve or Shoreline that aren't locked or a top priority for loot spawns would make the fetch quests feel a little less frustrating.
Setup this wipe is a double edge sword this wipe. Im glad its early and not locked behind quests like Chumming and Bulshit(defo one of the worsts as a solo) but sad that good ammo ( like flechettes etc) and all the gear like 8 rounder and the shotguns being sold out for most of the time (and absurd flea prices for those stuff)
Agree completely brother. They really moved in the right direction for this wipe but everytime they do something good they introduce more issues. I too remember the layered armor and armored rigs back in the day and honestly the most fun I had with a wipe was when the bitcoin prices shot to the moon. RMT existed but no one cared because everything was so plentiful. I really feel like the scarcity introduced more RMT to the game and by consequence screwed us harder with the counter measures. Good video!
I do agree, this wipe is amazing, my Survival rate is the lowest it has been, yet I am having the most fun, and making the most progress lvl 37, got 308 MDR, and FIR red card, wipe is over for me, im just having fun now. I actually had the luck of killing a guy with a Zabralo, so I had 2 for the quest, which my buddies thought was insane so that's nice lol. But yeah on the point of community, the Wiki has been my MVP, learning maps and loot spots especially streets has been a blessing.
Love the video, only surprise was that everyone I know adores the shoreline expansion. Although the point about the first person to the camp owns it is a big point.
BSG is NOT banning people for dropping Zabrallos. The streamer who got banned for taking viewer kits who Pestily is referring to is Tigz. He tried to cheese the leaderboard for most kills by begging his viewers for over 1 billion rubles worth of kits and BSG WARNED him to stop doing this or else he would get banned and in the end he only got banned for 60 days. And Glorious organized like dozens of viewers to drop each other zabrallos. NOBODY gets banned because they drop their friend a kit or something, this is about combating cheaters.
People were not getting banned for helping friends, they are getting pressured to stop by BSG because they make BSG's job of catching and banning cheaters/carries much harder to do. Streamers are just copping out because they want to take 500m to 1b every 3 months in viewer kits to make their lives easy streaming.
Worth mentioning that the quest eagle eye has a crazy potential for camping since one of the crashed planes is right in the middle of the plain meadow near smuggler’s place in shoreline and the other plane well.. is no less camp-able
After all these years i just cant anymore. The quests would be fine to pain in the ass if the progress didn't reset every year. Giga grind 2-3 months -> get stuck in quest -> burnout -> try after half year later and repeat.
I know how to fix them, have two instances one for solos with more spawns around the map, one for duos+ to guarantee that there aren't spawns too close to each other, this wipe I've been killed straight from spawn so many times, it's check all possible nearby spawns or die pretty much
Maybe hot take, I like Punisher 4 on Lighthouse. Way faster to get through that stupid quest with spawns that close. Snoreline was ass because it’s so big and people just creep bush to bush because every quest on that map requires you to survive. Or you have to deal with either giga chad ttv or xingxao with downloaded skill at resort. At least on Lighthouse you’re more likely to run into a regular Andy because there’s still loot on that map.
True about closer spawns, but regular andys generally stay away from lighthouse, for the whole wipe for me it was like 80% tryhards/20% andys, while the percentafe of andys on shoreline is high since everybody needs peacekeeper quests
I love that you mentioned how bad lighthouse runs, my friends could get on it fine but I ran at like 25-30 frames on average and would always tell me i had a bad pc. They would not accept my view of the map is poorly optimized and such lol
I think it's worse than poor optimization, I think that map causes a memory leak. Performance for me gets worse the more I run it without rebooting my PC. Eventually my whole PC will be out of memory even with the game closed.
@@poisonouslead85did you try the automatic RAM cleaner feature in the config menu of the game ? Click it once when you have memory related performance issues then uncheck it since it can also cause stutters lol.
the loot over at the smugglers area is genuinely really solid for me everytime i go, routinely making 200K+ and im right beside the car extract so easy money runs
i hope that you make a top tier list of helmets as you did armor. thank you for your video. you can now use the casual 6b armor for the mission, i did it a few days ago
I actually enjoyed Setup this wipe, i usually hate all the shotgun/bolt action quests so i avoid them as much as possible and i end up doing setup/sbih late wipe when everyone is running class 5 armor class 4 helmets and max skills, this time i did ASAP and it was much easier/fun
yeah, slugs are now usefull, Grizzly, FTX, Polevas can go through lvl 2 armor so if u don't hit the plate it's just a tap, I have "sniped" at medium distance with shotguns and works decent
i’m having a really good time playing tarkov right now everything is going pretty smooth, haven’t really ran into to many hackers either even though everyone is saying it’s terrible. i say if you having fun keep playing, if your not then take a break
I've decided to do a souls marathon starting with original Demon's Souls. I'm enjoying the wipe, but the questing got boring and tedious very quick. I'll just wait till they link Arena and Tarkov characters, so I can get LL4 traders without questing.
Correction - BSG didnt ban anyone for dropping zabralos, pestily did a hot take on that and it was wrong. What actually happened is that Glorious wanted to drop the armors to the community and went to BSG and asked them about it. They only said that its not recommended. They didnt say that its bannable, they didnt ban anyone. Point - the bot may detect the zabralo drop as RMT and may, at some point, possibly, ban you. If that happens BSG most likely will not interviene to get u unbanned. That said - ITS NOT FORBIDDEN to drop a zabby to ur friend, 1 or 2 wont make a difference its fine.
Let's also add the fact that player scavs can also spawn right at the start of a streets raid, way too early for PMC players to have to deal with all that
Setup was so frustrating that i literaly almost destroyed something in my room, i never rage in games but this was to much. One time i literaly shot 8 times at the legs of a pmc and didn't kill him (from a range of like 20-25 meters). To complete this quest i had to resort of camping extracts or something like this, i felt so bad for those victims but i wanted so badly to finish this mission. I hope they change it because without flechettes, shotguns are ass.
I'm a 7 kd 50 plus sr player and I had the same amount of trouble. Maybe I'm using shotguns wrong this wipe but they felt way better to me last few wipes.
I’ll consider this wipe my first tarkov wipe because I’ve played tarkov back then but never took quests seriously and stopped tarkov at level 20. I am enjoying the quests this current wipe and as for setup, I had a blast doing it. I finished it a couple of days ago, for a first time Tarkov player I really enjoyed setup.
yea it actually is making me feel a little bit less pissed off when i was on ground zero and i went to jump over some barb wire but i kept getting lagged into it and then i start getting shot in the back from someone
BSG consistently making SPT to be the better option by making the live version harder in the dumbess possible way, like if they want to stop RMT, they should instead focus on banning cheaters
@@newbtehpug9303you can make the SPT AI into absolute crazy demons if you want to, they can and will do everything that humans do to you, there are even mods being worked on that allow you to play SPT with friends, not sure if they are fully completed yet but I saw a proof of concept video showing it working
I'm not sure if its still a thing but I remember Night Factory specifically spawning scavs with really high tiered armor. (Fort Redut, Slick, etc.) Its been a couple years but its worth a try.
those might have been cultists. according to the wiki, they have a 2% chance to spawn on night factory. but, i have noticed that the past few wipes, scavs in offline raids on factory spawn with AVSs sometimes for some reason, but are completely normal scavs otherwise
The spawns are indeed miserable, which we all agreed on during the stream (Shoreline specifically). The one you showed on Reserve made me laugh so much, I always get annoyed when given that and the fact my buddy doesn't get why it's SO BAD always gets me. Oh, the blissful ignorance. Love the darts holding the blue screen btw. :d MostWantedS.
A huge part of the reason why shotguns feel so wimpy and inconsistent is because of that blacked limb damage nerf they did last wipe. Shot shells already do a small amount of damage per shot, and now on top of that half the damage is just magically ate by the game. If you're not hitting headshots or using shells that pierce armor (flechette or piranha) it feels like you're just tickling them with a feather. Hell, even piranha's low damage results in it doing insanely low damage sometimes. I ended up doing setup with magnum buck in an mp-133 because it does actual damage and the recoil is too high to really use in a semi anyway, and the mp-153 was SOLD OUT!
Punisher part 4 was a huge pain to finish. I tried running around to find pmc's and after 5 raids of finding none. I had to camp chalets and in choke points for all the 10 pmc's took so long
Honestly Setup is one of my favorite quests this wipe i completed it fairly quickly and i feel like having a quest thats about pvp is fun, the customs infestation is real but you just need to know about it and adapt. Also i think its a quest that somewhat forces you to get better at the game and if you are good at pvp its fun. Btw i still like playing customs.
I find excellent loot in the new Shoreline compound pretty regularly, and it's pretty good to hit as a scav if you just want a quick rouble. Found my first Ledx this wipe there, though I think I just got extremely lucky with the spawn.
I actually gotta say I love that there is basically no pvp except in the bunkers on Reserve. I got my first few kills cause im relatively new and there and its actually quite nice to get loot there.
This games questing is the tamest thing ever and most are just dumb, the laziest thing is the insane amount of marking quests that takes you back over and over to mark or jam stuff
Great vid! I'd disagree about the smuggler's camp. at least loot wise. It's my go-to scav location now. I average 3-500k roubles every time I hit it. Lots of tetrises and thermite if you know where to look.
I’m a casual and most of these don’t really effect me, but it’s good to put these things out there because if you play long enough things like this will effect everyone.
Honestly it needs more starte friendly quests to get into the game and needs more advanced quests for players which are end game level players so you got like an wider spread of quests over time
Bsgs questdesign is literally: You there, level 1-15 you need to sit at this spot for a minute without moving or you won´t get "insert item important to comfortable gameplay" And you level 15-50 need to shoot that guy so you can unlock "insert gameplay essential item here" Oh boy, i wonder why the majority of the playerbase stops within a month of wipe, the game must be not hardcore enough
sooo piranha's downfall is its damage tapers off after a short distance. so it is limited range. but at close range, its basically flechette. that should help. cheers
So pirhanna ammo depends on where the shrapnel decides to go, theres no predictable pattern but ive noticed unless like 10 yards away anything beyond you need to aim upper chest for headshots and even then it usually goes over. If you aim for the head the shrapnel tends to blooom outwards and almost miss your target completely or only hit the armores portions of the thorax. Thats my experience usually. It either 1 taps like he says or takes 6-8 shells to put down a medium armored target. Really kinda sucks right now
@6:03 they arent banning people for giving their friends armor, they threatened 1 streamer for giving his followers zabrallos, which is basically RMT because he had subscribers only mode on to talk in his chat to ask for a armor therefore requiring you to sub to him to ask for a armor.
found a zubralo this wipe as a scav on interchange in a random Weapon box, got killed through door 3 seconds after by a whitename 100kda with a mosin without even the fkin ironsight , love this game
They are banning only RMT, and it happens that popular streamers might look as RMT player when they try to catch them. So if you trade among friends, no one will ban you.
After 25 reshala attempts I brought in a shotgun I got from a setup guy, reshala was gas station, I hit 4 raiders with all 9 shots of that shotgun with piranha rounds, ran out of ammo and died, I had about 800 damage to body and ONE HUNDRED OR SO ARMOR DAMAGE

@gasad01374 scavengers is just the English term for scavs. In Russia they're called feral, and most directly supposed to be able to interact and kill pmcs. It's literally 100% a purposeful part of the game.
I played customs earlier and killed a scav player like 1 minute into raid. I was just walking out of my spawn
I get on the soap box the same but alone in my room to the wall
So, about the Piranha rounds, they have a massive cone compared to other shells. Even larger than Flechette. It just has huge spread. It's a barrel-stuffer shell, you have to play with it like you would CoD shotguns, by getting as close as possible.
the player scavs this wipe are ridiculous Im getting pushed by 5 player scavs on NIGHT RAIDS within 10 minutes of a shoreline match I cannot be the only one seeing this every map has turned into the lighthouse scav crap where they spawn at the loot before you do
I agreee!!!!! I feel like player scavs shouldn't spawn until 2/3s into the raid.
@@JH-fd9xt 15min and less not the 45min you can have right now on street
I noticed I am getting in very early on scav runs.
@@spoolinsvt6489 yep like always it's fucked
The worst part isnt any quest, its the amount of ridicolous cheaters and bsg not caring
almost completed pocket watch quest,a guy with 100 hours on his account,70% survival rate and 40kd peeks me from the other side of the map with a stockless,scopeless svd and one taps me...
Ditto
spot on, me and my boys get so mad we start to think it should be a crime, or atleast banned from gaming entirely. they deserve hell
im in na, stg i dont see what you guys have. one cheater every 50 raids
@@acies9408it’s very bad in Australia’s server with one every 2 to 3 raids cheating of any type
They ban people for trading in the game because they can't deal with the black market. But, classically, honest players suffer because cheaters care about it anyway. I remember the times when you could put two armors, but I also remember the times when a normal scav had a chance to appear and you had to go to the factory map to get these vests there.
Which is silly, because there's nothing stopping you from going into a night raid on factory, waiting for the maybe 1-2 other PMC's to leave, and then putting the armor (or any other loot you can't drop) in your bag and letting a scav kill you so your friend can loot it off your corpse. Because this works, RMT also works, and therefore BSG haven't actually done anything to stop it.
When your ping is hella high and packet loss too and you check system and you see multiple names on there. Thats a vacummer
i love finding flashdrives
They changed "Sew it good" so you have to hand in 6B13 "Flora" armors found in raid instead! ;)
ah... victory
Fortunately, they tend to be fairly common on scavs. Hell, it's one of the most common armors I get on scav runs, along with the 6B2 (🤢) and the Kirasa (💕)
Honestly with shotguns I've found magnum buck to be very effective, i chalk it up to the new armor hitboxes
“So even if Piranha isn’t that good of a round, it doesn’t matter if you sprint past a bushwookie and get back sh-… shot in the back..”
Epic ninja energy.
Bro, the points you made about lighthouse are everything I've been feeling about this map.
Doing punisher part 4 has become unbearable, it's extremely boring and punishing because of the map.
I've actually had a lot of luck with shotguns and especially piranha this wipe. It's been an amazing round for me and honestly feels not much different from flechette
It's still a bad round. You shouldn't have to cross your fingers and hope the spread doesn't split like Moses did to the red sea lol
@@DasInf13 the spread is the advantage... it goes around armor plates and hits shoulders, neck, and waist
Yeah piranha could be even better than flechettes since it has 2 additional pellets per shot. So with my 153, if I spam shots with my 7 rnd tube. I could hit up to 70 pellets instead of 56.
Not for me, tried piranha for a bit then just deleted all of the remaining of it and went over to magnum buckshot again. Pretty much every time I used it the enemy either are a full tube before going down or athe the rounds for breakfast when going for the head. At least magnum is consistent in that sense. You know what to go for while piranha is just screaming in the corner being confused about its existence.
@balinthehater8205 maybe I just have better luck but at least it pens face shields
Sew it good part 3 was changed recently!!! Now you only need the 6B13 Assault Armors which are the level 4 ones! Only downside is they must be found in raid, wish they changed this before turning in my zabralo
Mad respect for the sponsor being actually relevant to your content
Any quest that requires me to have a key is always a tilt point for me. The price is always gouged on the flea, and any effort to make the key worth it for any other reason only make the problem worse - if yoh put loot behind the door, other people will want the key for the loot, which drives the price up. If you make it a barter, people know which items are needed for it, so their prices go up. It just seems like maybe sending me to rooms in Customs or Reserve or Shoreline that aren't locked or a top priority for loot spawns would make the fetch quests feel a little less frustrating.
8:02 I remember back when regular scavs could spawn wearing them. Nothing bought more fear to me than a Fort Saiga Shotgun scav. Literal Doomslayer
Setup this wipe is a double edge sword this wipe.
Im glad its early and not locked behind quests like Chumming and Bulshit(defo one of the worsts as a solo)
but sad that good ammo ( like flechettes etc) and all the gear like 8 rounder and the shotguns being sold out for most of the time (and absurd flea prices for those stuff)
Agree completely brother. They really moved in the right direction for this wipe but everytime they do something good they introduce more issues. I too remember the layered armor and armored rigs back in the day and honestly the most fun I had with a wipe was when the bitcoin prices shot to the moon. RMT existed but no one cared because everything was so plentiful. I really feel like the scarcity introduced more RMT to the game and by consequence screwed us harder with the counter measures.
Good video!
I do agree, this wipe is amazing, my Survival rate is the lowest it has been, yet I am having the most fun, and making the most progress lvl 37, got 308 MDR, and FIR red card, wipe is over for me, im just having fun now. I actually had the luck of killing a guy with a Zabralo, so I had 2 for the quest, which my buddies thought was insane so that's nice lol. But yeah on the point of community, the Wiki has been my MVP, learning maps and loot spots especially streets has been a blessing.
Love the video, only surprise was that everyone I know adores the shoreline expansion. Although the point about the first person to the camp owns it is a big point.
BSG is NOT banning people for dropping Zabrallos. The streamer who got banned for taking viewer kits who Pestily is referring to is Tigz. He tried to cheese the leaderboard for most kills by begging his viewers for over 1 billion rubles worth of kits and BSG WARNED him to stop doing this or else he would get banned and in the end he only got banned for 60 days. And Glorious organized like dozens of viewers to drop each other zabrallos.
NOBODY gets banned because they drop their friend a kit or something, this is about combating cheaters.
+1
People were not getting banned for helping friends, they are getting pressured to stop by BSG because they make BSG's job of catching and banning cheaters/carries much harder to do. Streamers are just copping out because they want to take 500m to 1b every 3 months in viewer kits to make their lives easy streaming.
Worth mentioning that the quest eagle eye has a crazy potential for camping since one of the crashed planes is right in the middle of the plain meadow near smuggler’s place in shoreline and the other plane well.. is no less camp-able
After all these years i just cant anymore. The quests would be fine to pain in the ass if the progress didn't reset every year. Giga grind 2-3 months -> get stuck in quest -> burnout -> try after half year later and repeat.
Skill issue
I know how to fix them, have two instances one for solos with more spawns around the map, one for duos+ to guarantee that there aren't spawns too close to each other, this wipe I've been killed straight from spawn so many times, it's check all possible nearby spawns or die pretty much
Maybe hot take, I like Punisher 4 on Lighthouse. Way faster to get through that stupid quest with spawns that close. Snoreline was ass because it’s so big and people just creep bush to bush because every quest on that map requires you to survive. Or you have to deal with either giga chad ttv or xingxao with downloaded skill at resort. At least on Lighthouse you’re more likely to run into a regular Andy because there’s still loot on that map.
True about closer spawns, but regular andys generally stay away from lighthouse, for the whole wipe for me it was like 80% tryhards/20% andys, while the percentafe of andys on shoreline is high since everybody needs peacekeeper quests
I love that you mentioned how bad lighthouse runs, my friends could get on it fine but I ran at like 25-30 frames on average and would always tell me i had a bad pc. They would not accept my view of the map is poorly optimized and such lol
I think it's worse than poor optimization, I think that map causes a memory leak. Performance for me gets worse the more I run it without rebooting my PC. Eventually my whole PC will be out of memory even with the game closed.
@@poisonouslead85did you try the automatic RAM cleaner feature in the config menu of the game ? Click it once when you have memory related performance issues then uncheck it since it can also cause stutters lol.
I have to disagree with the Shoreline one. The new places is a bank, yeah ofc it isn't a ledx place but still a great place to get money from
Lots of people are saying shoreline has the lighthouse scav problem because its so popular for scavs now with the camp having good loot
the loot over at the smugglers area is genuinely really solid for me everytime i go, routinely making 200K+ and im right beside the car extract so easy money runs
The scav camp has given me some of the expensive junk (diaries for example) and the streamer flavored items
Setup is gonna have me ripping my hair out I just know it
do it in night time raids and that´s it.
i hope that you make a top tier list of helmets as you did armor. thank you for your video. you can now use the casual 6b armor for the mission, i did it a few days ago
I actually enjoyed Setup this wipe, i usually hate all the shotgun/bolt action quests so i avoid them as much as possible and i end up doing setup/sbih late wipe when everyone is running class 5 armor class 4 helmets and max skills, this time i did ASAP and it was much easier/fun
I’ve been enjoying shotguns this wipe. Setup was a lot of fun, and I just kept running shotguns.
yeah, slugs are now usefull, Grizzly, FTX, Polevas can go through lvl 2 armor so if u don't hit the plate it's just a tap, I have "sniped" at medium distance with shotguns and works decent
they gotta get rid of the red rebel extract on lighthouse. it kills any chance you have of seeing a player on a map you rarely see people on
i’m having a really good time playing tarkov right now everything is going pretty smooth, haven’t really ran into to many hackers either even though everyone is saying it’s terrible. i say if you having fun keep playing, if your not then take a break
I have ran into one many cheaters with 100 hours on this wipe
I've decided to do a souls marathon starting with original Demon's Souls.
I'm enjoying the wipe, but the questing got boring and tedious very quick. I'll just wait till they link Arena and Tarkov characters, so I can get LL4 traders without questing.
my brother in christ thanks for the AD, playing in Brazil is a Rat Plague
Correction - BSG didnt ban anyone for dropping zabralos, pestily did a hot take on that and it was wrong.
What actually happened is that Glorious wanted to drop the armors to the community and went to BSG and asked them about it. They only said that its not recommended. They didnt say that its bannable, they didnt ban anyone.
Point - the bot may detect the zabralo drop as RMT and may, at some point, possibly, ban you. If that happens BSG most likely will not interviene to get u unbanned. That said - ITS NOT FORBIDDEN to drop a zabby to ur friend, 1 or 2 wont make a difference its fine.
+1
Let's also add the fact that player scavs can also spawn right at the start of a streets raid, way too early for PMC players to have to deal with all that
Setup was so frustrating that i literaly almost destroyed something in my room, i never rage in games but this was to much. One time i literaly shot 8 times at the legs of a pmc and didn't kill him (from a range of like 20-25 meters). To complete this quest i had to resort of camping extracts or something like this, i felt so bad for those victims but i wanted so badly to finish this mission. I hope they change it because without flechettes, shotguns are ass.
I'm a 7 kd 50 plus sr player and I had the same amount of trouble. Maybe I'm using shotguns wrong this wipe but they felt way better to me last few wipes.
Semi auto shotguns are good
the shotguns are good, the ammo is ass@@johnnywick1110
I’ll consider this wipe my first tarkov wipe because I’ve played tarkov back then but never took quests seriously and stopped tarkov at level 20. I am enjoying the quests this current wipe and as for setup, I had a blast doing it. I finished it a couple of days ago, for a first time Tarkov player I really enjoyed setup.
Worst part about Tarkov is that 80% of all the issues in it could be solved in a couple days of code and a single 5 minute update
May i introduce you to a little project called SPT~
@@konstancemakjaveli who's ass wants to play a pve tarkov which has ass ai it just seems so boring
@@konstancemakjaveli spt is boring as hellll may i introduce you to getting better
I’ll be able to play this next week with my new pc!
Shit, I thought the disconnections and the incredibly high ping were just a matter of my PC, now I know it's something we all suffer from.
yea it actually is making me feel a little bit less pissed off when i was on ground zero and i went to jump over some barb wire but i kept getting lagged into it and then i start getting shot in the back from someone
@@kevinlangan9055 damn me too, i went killed several times for that , well also adding the fact that i'm new on the Game.
6:00 💯💯💯thank you!!!! Someone had to say it, hope bsg sees this and changes things to allow us to help friends out.
BSG consistently making SPT to be the better option by making the live version harder in the dumbess possible way, like if they want to stop RMT, they should instead focus on banning cheaters
No.
Honestly the playerbase did that for me before bsg did but im not a big pvp guy so thats on me love all the mechanics of tarkov just not pvp
I assume that most people play this game cause of the other players making it feel more high stakes than fighting ai lol
@@newbtehpug9303you can make the SPT AI into absolute crazy demons if you want to, they can and will do everything that humans do to you, there are even mods being worked on that allow you to play SPT with friends, not sure if they are fully completed yet but I saw a proof of concept video showing it working
???????
I'm not sure if its still a thing but I remember Night Factory specifically spawning scavs with really high tiered armor. (Fort Redut, Slick, etc.)
Its been a couple years but its worth a try.
those might have been cultists. according to the wiki, they have a 2% chance to spawn on night factory. but, i have noticed that the past few wipes, scavs in offline raids on factory spawn with AVSs sometimes for some reason, but are completely normal scavs otherwise
@@jamessteggy722 this was at least a year or 2 before they added the cultists I didn’t play after they added them
The spawns are indeed miserable, which we all agreed on during the stream (Shoreline specifically). The one you showed on Reserve made me laugh so much, I always get annoyed when given that and the fact my buddy doesn't get why it's SO BAD always gets me. Oh, the blissful ignorance.
Love the darts holding the blue screen btw. :d
MostWantedS.
It will always be weird when people say they go to customs for loot but lighthouse is broke
A huge part of the reason why shotguns feel so wimpy and inconsistent is because of that blacked limb damage nerf they did last wipe. Shot shells already do a small amount of damage per shot, and now on top of that half the damage is just magically ate by the game. If you're not hitting headshots or using shells that pierce armor (flechette or piranha) it feels like you're just tickling them with a feather. Hell, even piranha's low damage results in it doing insanely low damage sometimes. I ended up doing setup with magnum buck in an mp-133 because it does actual damage and the recoil is too high to really use in a semi anyway, and the mp-153 was SOLD OUT!
Punisher part 4 was a huge pain to finish. I tried running around to find pmc's and after 5 raids of finding none. I had to camp chalets and in choke points for all the 10 pmc's took so long
honestly doing punisher part 4 felt like punishing myself, good job bsg
Your blue screen is amazing, I would love to learn doing that as good as you 😢
Leviticus: here are some updates that make a big diffrence in tarkov
me: still dies all the time
randomly found you while playing runescape, had to subscribe no gameplay but i enjoy every minute
These quests have the quest design of a free to play mobile game like how do they make the most braindead quests ever and then make them worse
Honestly Setup is one of my favorite quests this wipe i completed it fairly quickly and i feel like having a quest thats about pvp is fun, the customs infestation is real but you just need to know about it and adapt. Also i think its a quest that somewhat forces you to get better at the game and if you are good at pvp its fun. Btw i still like playing customs.
One of my favorite TH-cam channels bro. Good shit
I find excellent loot in the new Shoreline compound pretty regularly, and it's pretty good to hit as a scav if you just want a quick rouble. Found my first Ledx this wipe there, though I think I just got extremely lucky with the spawn.
I love when Levi Complains in a soap box
To be honest this is the quickest I have manage to complete SETUP in all of the wipes
"...and get backsho-... shot in the back by nine slugs and crumble to the floor."
realizing that you can get max traders without doing setup changed my life for the better
I actually gotta say I love that there is basically no pvp except in the bunkers on Reserve. I got my first few kills cause im relatively new and there and its actually quite nice to get loot there.
dude ive had the game for months, so glad I started playing this wipe
This games questing is the tamest thing ever and most are just dumb, the laziest thing is the insane amount of marking quests that takes you back over and over to mark or jam stuff
12:53 the fact that you say what the hell is this and then pan to a picture of a spawn with ЖОПА(means ASS in russian) written there is poetic
Great vid!
I'd disagree about the smuggler's camp. at least loot wise. It's my go-to scav location now. I average 3-500k roubles every time I hit it. Lots of tetrises and thermite if you know where to look.
I’m a casual and most of these don’t really effect me, but it’s good to put these things out there because if you play long enough things like this will effect everyone.
same here, this is my second wipe
The backshots was wild💀
Honestly it needs more starte friendly quests to get into the game and needs more advanced quests for players which are end game level players so you got like an wider spread of quests over time
Bro what you said about puncher is SO TRUE i just rushed another spwans
6:57 This hurts me so much rn. Just came back and as a level 10, I’ve only seen a tape measure only once. Scav on scav violence man 😭
Bsgs questdesign is literally: You there, level 1-15 you need to sit at this spot for a minute without moving or you won´t get "insert item important to comfortable gameplay"
And you level 15-50 need to shoot that guy so you can unlock "insert gameplay essential item here"
Oh boy, i wonder why the majority of the playerbase stops within a month of wipe, the game must be not hardcore enough
i literally didnt know about the new houses on shoreline until now, i did like 4 quests on shoreline this wipe
My third wipe, I actually had a great time doing set up, I never even completed it before. Won many of my first 3v1 2v1s
sooo piranha's downfall is its damage tapers off after a short distance. so it is limited range. but at close range, its basically flechette. that should help. cheers
By far the worst spawn is that God awful one on lighthouse that spawns you in-between three different minefields in the middle of nowhere
‘proceeds to rat with a shotgun in customs for footage’ welcome to tarkov
So pirhanna ammo depends on where the shrapnel decides to go, theres no predictable pattern but ive noticed unless like 10 yards away anything beyond you need to aim upper chest for headshots and even then it usually goes over. If you aim for the head the shrapnel tends to blooom outwards and almost miss your target completely or only hit the armores portions of the thorax. Thats my experience usually. It either 1 taps like he says or takes 6-8 shells to put down a medium armored target. Really kinda sucks right now
When 0.14 comes to SPT, I will likely never go back.
Customs being someone's favorite map is crazy, its really low on my list and many others im sure
:(
@6:03 they arent banning people for giving their friends armor, they threatened 1 streamer for giving his followers zabrallos, which is basically RMT because he had subscribers only mode on to talk in his chat to ask for a armor therefore requiring you to sub to him to ask for a armor.
found a zubralo this wipe as a scav on interchange in a random Weapon box, got killed through door 3 seconds after by a whitename 100kda with a mosin without even the fkin ironsight , love this game
Punisher P.4 was so horrible for me that I constantly bought Flir thermals to finish it… I hate myself for that 😂😂😂
They are banning only RMT, and it happens that popular streamers might look as RMT player when they try to catch them. So if you trade among friends, no one will ban you.
+1
nice except you still can't drop a LOT of items because they literally just fall into the void now. Really annoying and a dumb change.
After 25 reshala attempts I brought in a shotgun I got from a setup guy, reshala was gas station, I hit 4 raiders with all 9 shots of that shotgun with piranha rounds, ran out of ammo and died, I had about 800 damage to body and ONE HUNDRED OR SO ARMOR DAMAGE
Tip for Shotguns. Buy the Piranha rounds from Jeager and you can still 1-tap someone in the sides or face from 100m.
