i just want them to stop instantly lasering me with grenades or all 3 ai's shooting me across the map when i happen to cross a window for a .5 second...
when i hear them saying or see them doing anything at all related to grenades i start runnin already cuz I know that shits about to land square between my 2 feet somehow.
Loaded in to Ground Zero for daily task (kill 12 scavs). Level 6 armor, geared to the brim. As soon as the AI spawned I got shot from 3 directions, went inside buildings and circled to another side of the map. They didnt stop chasing me and somehow managed to get the boss to chase me too. It total I was swarmed at emercom by at least 7 of them, a mix of PMC and Boss/Guards judging by the kills I got. They were pushing me through grenades, didnt run away just kept running towards me, killed a few with nades and the rest just ran next to me and executed me point blank. It wasnt their aim that bothered me, it was the suicidal aggression!
@@blakeolinger1220 The problem is that I went inside a building, went through the back of it breaking line of sight, and came out the other side of the building. The NPC should not know where I am after I go inside a building and come out the other end. I was more than 70 meters away from them, there is no sound cue to give my position away, they simply followed me around the building knowing where I was at all times. This has to be fixed. The bots having Aimbot is how they function that is fine. But breaking line of sight and sound should disengage them. The ESP targeting though walls is bullsh*t.
I’ve had like eight of them show up at customs road extract on shoreline. I killed 2 in front of me, next thing I know they are rushing in from everywhere. I was 2 seconds from extraction. I can’t go to stronghold without the goons being there and laser beaming me or rushing me.
People say things like the armor is bugged, or they die too fast. With the new update, you gotta know some key things about certain chest rigs and armor carriers not fully covering thorax or sides. Look for rigs with T3 soft armor that covers all of the thorax, like the Osprey (P) rig, or Gen4 armor. Gigabeef did a great tierlist breakdown and explanation of the new armor system as he talks about every rig, but the video is mainly PvP focused so keep that in mind. If you learn about the armor, you'll die a LOT less. Also why the PvE ballistic T4 facemask is going for like 3mil. It's meta against those lower jaw face shots random scavs might bop you with on occasion. Also a little tip for most PMC AI. DON'T engage from a distance, unless you can significantly outrange them, or they'll laser you. If you can get in close, their AI is a lot more forgiving and you can usually just bop them in the skull with a pistol. IF you have to engage from a distance (for a quest or somethin) try to get the 1 tap or outrange their AI from being able to engage back. Best spots I've found for these quests is Customs Big Red, you can look down at RUAF extract and usually there will be 3 PMC that spawn there you can engage and take out without them shooting back. Or on Woods, sitting up by military checkpoint and aiming at scav house, they wont hit you from that far. The mid range is where they will eat you alive. Raiders, Bosses, and Rogues are a different story though. There's optimized paths for almost every single one that plenty of other creators have covered. I'm sure if you got stuck on the Lighthouse tasks like me, you'll have to reference one or keep dying to some BS from miles away. Only think i wish is that PvE server length is increased because Woods and Lighthouse feel too short. You can really only hit 1 large landmark and loot in full depth, then the raid hits 10mins and you have to rush to extract or get an MIA.
I popped onto Ground Zero for a quick 20 minute adventure as a level 7 with an mp5 and some light armor and ran into Terragroup garage from the spawn nearby. There were 2 pmcs to fight immediately. After backing out of the garage to regroup, had to down 3 more scavs. Inside Terragroup HQ even more raiders and scavs outside the main entrance and everyone was super aggressive. Wouldve brought different kit in if id known they were gonna be out for blood like that.
well i don't know, it might just be random. But I've ran 3 labs raids today, 1 bad loadout, lvl 4 armor, vector 9mm, and I only saw 1 pmc the whole raid, and he just stood there mostly. then i ran a good loadout and an insane loadout and both times got pushed to death by at least 5 pmcs pretty much at the same time.
Loving the series! Really enjoy your vibes bro! My only ask is... throw all those Eft pve videos into a playlist so new subscribers cn easily watch all the videos in a row. Cant wait to see you blow up
I definitely feel like running heavy armor and weapons makes me sluggish and makes it more difficult to peek the AI and gets me killed. I also get "triple tapped" a lot where the AI shoots once and i die instantly and the death screen shows three hits to thorax. More testing needed i think
in regards to armor and dieing. i typically run a t3 aramid plate carriar. covers chest, back, sides by default with aramid. then i add t5 ceramic side plates and buy aluminum t4 front and back plates. then if i find some ceramic t5 plates in the wild i swap to those. 18 slots with a weight of 6.2kg with average t5 front, back and side coverage. survived lots of hits that i normally would have died to. arms go fast naturally but so far have yet to get a red chest.
I've noticed that there is something with the number of scavs. When I do a pistol run for loot i encounter 1 or 2. When i get lvl 5-6 armor and some stuff, the number of scavs is ridiculous. Sometimes, i see them spawning out of thin air. Like 5-6 in the exact same spot spliting in different ways.
@lostscythe7117 yeah, I killed single scav behind a metal fence and hide behind it to reload. When I repeeked there were 5 waiting. Spawned like 5 m from me.
@@blakecongdon3719 Had a friend get one tapped by a scav using lead slugs against a t5 armour yesterday. Most of the time we die tho it's bc of scavs/pmcs hitting the throat/face w/ shit ammo.
@@blakecongdon3719y’a ever heard of fragmentation of ammo and that when ur arms are exposed the damage to them can fragment off into ur thorax and neck so you’re not being on tapped through armor like you think u are it’s just you don’t know game mechanics
Strange I’ve been getting into raids at 3 minutes or less. Initially I was getting long load times but I was only playing on one server. I switched to select from all American servers and it has been low since.
Trying to get the damn signal part 1 quest done on shoreline. 100% spawn for goons and they seem to always be at weather. I literally walked along cliff by resort to skirt around them and all of a sudden, engaged. Got smacked in stomach with 300 ap. I ran up the hill toward helicopter to heal. Big pipe ran all the way up the hill and found me sunk down in a hole, walked litteraly point blank on top of me and waxed me. Calm it down a little bit there BSG. That’s ridiculous.
Ive done a little testing like this and ive found that the squads or solo that will spawn will have different/better weapons and overall loot depending on the level they are. Very low level pmc ai will stand and look at you with mp5 and no sights shooting green tracer where as a level 40 or 50 will jiggle peak me and aimbot me a mile away lol makes sense.
@@rudlyn8958 ok, I've only had them with the level 3 plate carriers and the level 30 and above have had those same level 3 and the better ones with class 4 or 5 plates. Nobody knows the algorithm they use yet and I have 400 raids and level 43 and that's just been my personal pve experience, higher level have had better gear and been more aggressive and aimbot is all I was saying
@@wyattphillips2748 guess nikita hates me, I only get level 1 with broken mp5 with m882 lol but the level 50s I've gotten kitted 762 mdr! That's another thing, why are pmc weapons always around 40 to 60% I can't be the only one with that
I was thinking the same thing. I tested this myself done 20 raids noob gear i noticed any enemy: ai, bosses, scavs raiders use worse ammo, lose aggro easier, overall are easier to deal with. And done the same thing with better gear best i could put on including ammo. And i didnt feel like its any easier i was simply heavier, but any ai was just better more aggressive. I didnt want to ask this question to look stupid or bad :D anyway good content bro!
PVP makes me sad because when you ask people if they just wanna be cool and they agree just to clap you instantly. PVE makes me sad because I get one shot lazed across the map with no warning. Also still have no clue when it’s a BEAR or scav when playing offline. In other words, I’m trash lol
@@TheRussianWookie I play as a solo because my friends are lame and it’s weird because I’ll run scav on customs, and dudes will be speaking Russian and I’ll think I’m safe, just to have them light me up as I run by. I’ll definitely start running factory and see if that helps
@@mikemucus1527 those are probably raiders. They will shoot you after a couple of warnings from them. Doesn’t matter if you are a scav or pmc. Raiders look like scavs with more gear.
I truly believe they nerfed PMCs since PVE launched because I was farming factory for so long hoarding good ammo and these PMCs don’t run good ammo anymore.
All AI definitely notice your flashlight when you turn it on. I have tested it by sneaking up to scavs in pve, turning on my flashlight, and they immediately recognize it as hostile even without being able to see me.
I find that high armored gear makes almost no difference for most raids, sometimes you'll have a raid where your gear saves you, but most times it feels like you have no protection even with low caliber ammos and guns. I have began to do Factory raids with only a pistol and naked and most times I am successful at getting worthwhile gear without much loss, I even had one start to a raid with an AI USMC soldier stuck running into a wall inside factory locker rooms where I spawned and was able to kill him one shot and take a good set of gear, it's like it punishes you for trying to beef out. You spend so much money insuring your weapons, maintaining your gear; replenishing ammo and taking so much space in your stash only to die immediately and lose it all and your ammo, you don't feel so tied down or attached to not dying when all you have to lose on your pmc is just a pistol and a few magazines and health kits.
Don't even bring health kits. Just 1 pistol and the mag that's in it. Nothing else. You shouldn't even need to fire your gun at all. You can sneak around and wait for PMC to kill scav and take scav gun. Then start killing and looting everyone. If you get shot you can just run to extraction. No need to heal at all.
@@kenshinhimura9387 Health kits are easy to find, I don't mind using one and putting it in my pouch so it doesn't disappear; it increases the odds for an unexpected gun fight if needed
@@WaterMeA-biscuit I was just saying that Factory is such a tiny map that you can sprint to the exit and extract before you bleed to death. Saves you a lot of meds. Either way works just fine. I found that hanging out in that green metal shipping container near gate 3 will get you a TON of free kills. The ai is dumb and will slowly walk in 1 at a time and allow you to headshot them. I had over 20 bodies piled up at my feet the other day using this trick.
My buddies and I ran a three man for about 7 hours total friday night anf we only had one 5 min wait and two 3 min wait. All the others were either instant or around the two minute mark. Obviously just anecdotal but it definitely was far better than last friday, which was brutal.
I'd also like to point out that the more people you play with, the more spawns you get and the more aggressive they all seem. When I play with my two buddies, swarm mentality seems to get us wiped often. And atleast one of will get one tapped by buckshot from 30 yards away while in full gear.
No, it's not a thing. The difficulty of the raid in PvE is completely random. At any time, the game can decide to absolutely destroy you by spawning 25+ AI that all directly run at you to kill you. The only thing that is going to give you a chance against that unfair bullshit is good gear, like full protection body armor with level 3 aramid and level 6 plates, a helmet with full face protection, a nice headset, and a nice and expensive gun with lots of ammo. Even still, some encounters are impossible to survive if fought head-on, and other times, the AI spawns directly beside you just outside peripheral vision or behind you, leaving you with no time to react. Only rarely will there be the "dead raids," but in reality, it seems dead because there is a horde of AI all running in a congo line across the map or you're in a factory raid where Nikita himself is giving you a chance to do your stupid task so he only is spawning a few AI scav at a time. For reference, I am 80k/d, 80% survival rate and i run T7 thermal almost every raid.
I am seeing a lot of pmc + scavs rushing me together as if they are all one squad, never saw it or noticed it in the 2 months I’ve been playing pve. Like I already killed several hordes of scavs raiders and pmcs in the reserve bunker, just for the wave that kills me be a scav throwing open the door and tanking all my shots while the usecs behind him each throw a short fuse grenade at me.
could be that I am just really bad at the game, but it feel random to me. I have gone in with good gear and naked pistol runs/minimal loadouts and results have varried.
I think there's some randomness involved. yesterday spawned in with a friend as 2 timmies only running a handgun on the spawn that typically gets rushed (in the corner behind one of the red gates with the 2 jackets right outside). while we were looting the jackets we immediately got pushed by 3 scavs. so i don't think its loadout dependant
i havent experienced this myself honestly. ive done raids with barely any gear, ive done raids with tier 6 armor an crazy decked out guns an from my experience its all rng as to what type of raid. theirs probably some type of roll that happens when you load into raid that decides how many pmcs will be in raid, how aggressive theyll be, etc. but who tf knows with bsg man.
So far it made no difference for me. No matter what gear I put on the pmcs are random. Meaning that sometimes they are low lvl, sometimes high, but rarely actually mixed. You either get the high or low end of pmc levels, cannot remember a raid, where I had below lvl 10 guys paired with lvl 50+ guys. Only thing that is true, that if their level is higher, they have better ammunition, like BP and stuff. But otherwise, gear is mostly the same through all levels, guns too. Also their reaction time/aim is significantly higher/better at lvl 50+... These damn aimbotters
hey man ive noticed if you stand still for too long some bots, especially pmc and guards will pop out of their normal spawns and come to kill you, im not too sure but i have had some weird incidents that feel a little weird
For my buddy and I, I’ve noticed the level of the AI PMC can have higher gear for higher levels, AND the ones closer to or over level 50 are worse than rogues/raiders :’)
I’ve had a theory that the loot pool is generated from an average of the PMC’s gear coming in so people risking more are rewarded more (on the PvP side). The more spoken theory is total # of PMC’s ups the loot pool, but that would bring up the average, AND, people on PvP heavy servers are probably bringing decent gear as well
Its kind of hard to argue from my perspective. Although i agree that GZ from your new video is an absolute warzone, i went in with the best gear i had. Thor - Altyn - AP 559 - Built AR. About 30 seconds into a raid there was AI PMC's across the street probably 75 yards+. 2 seconds later, Tom Brady spawned into the map and threw a touch down worthy grenade over a set of stairs so DAMN LASERED IT WENT INTO MY FACE SHIELD and instantly killed me. Surrounded by 3 Mid level geared friends i died, it literally clipped into my face shield like a fucking jump scare. I wish this was a joke. Started running pistols and blue untar gear in GZ and its been manageable.
I went to factory brought a bolt action sniper with an optic and some armor, one pmc had a bolt action as well (with a scope), another with a pump action shotgun. usually i only see assault rifles or smgs.
I ran cheap runs with 1911 and found high lvl pmcs, and the opposite going sweat. I think you notice it more when you care about your gear rather than when you have a throwaway set.
I recently played on interchange to kill killa and he spawned nearly every time i had low tier stuff . As soon as i went good ammo hes been unseen Or heard for 30+ raids. but had tons of pmc kills.
I started pve 3 days ago and only been running a shotgun and paca vest and the cheapest helmet but good shotgun ammo with good flesh damage and almost aways come out with raider gear and good armor.
the gear thing might be true, also.. if youre getting "1 tapped" go check to see if your getting double, or triple hit from 1 bullet. it has happened to me, when im wearing level 6 armor
Yea, I've been shot once in the chest with 9mm m882 through lvl 6 plates in a lvl 3 aramid carrier. Death screen said 3 shots. Which still shouldn't have happened but w/e
Trying to do Secured Perimeter and have been 1 or 2 tapped through Killa's Lvl 6 helmet or Zabralo armor with ammo that have virtually no chance to pen either. Like M855, TKM FMJ, or trash 9x18mm rounds. And last 3 raids when PMCs were actually around the office, instant headshot with instant death. Something really needs to be fixed here
An easy way they could do this is just based on the armor that you’re wearing. We know they do have several different AI profiles so kind of makes sense they would adjust it to your gear. Otherwise, PVE would be too hard in the beginning and too easy at the end
Idk if it's really the kit or not. I've always ran best gear I could and the only ai differences I've noticed is like, labs, lighthouse, and reserve PMCs are CRACKED. the rest of the maps are hit or miss. like interchange pmcs are easy, in fact if it wasn't for the voice lines I wouldn't be able to tell scav from pmc upon initial engagement. LOVE LOVE LOVE the PvE content though. my brother and I have been playing A TON and your vids are always brought up everytime
Better gear equaling more PMCs would explain why I found next to no PMCs anymore as soon as I started running Setup. Before I easily hit 10+ PMC kills per Customs raid.
Between grenades and walking under them its impossible to tell imo. Grandes seem to activate them and I know walking underneath or above them will trigger their awareness of you. I personally believe its RNG. Also 200ish scav raids?!
yeah i went into lighthouse with the full coverage thor armor and tagilla's helmet, got that dookie spawn just up the mountain by the village, went up toward the village, 3-4 scavs crawl out the wood works charging me, they light me up in the helmet, i kill 2, then one of them throws the most perfect grenade at my feet over the house i was using for cover
My buddy and I scav run in factory in PvE and sometimes we get games with one or no PMCs. If we scav with good gear or our PMCs with decent gear then we run into 5+ PMCs. I just wish all their gears durability wasn't trash.
Me and my 3 man can confirm the AI seem a bit more aggressive and numerous when in larger groups and when equipped with better gear, we've ran into 14 PMCs at radio tower and pier in 2 separate raids when using good gear, after dying we ran into maybe 2 at both places running basic AK-103s, level 4 and Ulachs
i found that to cut the Q timer i have to have a ping of 100+ to get in within 3 mins an under. US servers suck, so i now Q in UK servers an the ping doesnt effect my game unless i exceed 230 ping
I've run 30 raids with only a Five-Seven and a slick, been running into a bunch of PMC and Tagilla with drum mag shotgun and RPK. I don't think the gear matters. I've had a couple of empty raids too.
I think the insane reactions and accuracy could be toned down a bit. Though I wouldn’t mind facing better equipped pmcs the higher level you are and/or the better gear you bring in, but make it fair at least.
They need to add a PMC cap like in live. I killed over 7 PMCs on factory, with like 2-3 still up and running around killing scavs. It’s a bit ridiculous.
It seems like the PMC bots are very squirrely when it comes to scavs. Sometimes they aggro, sometimes they don't immediately aggro and ll you into a false sense of security, then blast your ass.
Hey! Love the content more than you know. Three videos a day would be awesome, but that's a lot. Be sure not to stress yourself over it. We don't want you getting burnt out! Love ya!
Thanks for looking out! I think I can handle it for now, we’ll see, worst case scenario is I drop it down to 2 on days I need a slight break! Thanks for the huge level of support!
i have been running slick/sr25 for the majority of my raids and havnt had a problem. 167 raids with 137 surv and 1227 kills. the goons have been more responsible for my deaths than anything
Yeah the bosses are usually what laser me and my buddy when we play together. Although we've also been hit with the classic Tarkov scav one-tap a few times. Buddy got one-tapped by a shotgun scav using lead slugs, triple-hit bug hit through the torso armour and killed him before he could shoot more than twice. Similarly, scavs and pmcs alike will easily snap to your unprotected hitboxes if your within 10 meters, so be careful when approaching scavs/pmcs that close. Buddy was wearing a t6 armour and t5 helmet and a scav with a pistol one-tapped him to the jaw with PSO.
I don't think it's dependent on what gear you bring that defines difficulty. I think each "pmc" has their own stats, so some might be more perceptive, and some may be more aggressive and push up on you. There are also ones that camp. It is super annoying though when they see you from 200m away through a bush.
Funny to watch this months later because BSG was forced to shut their AI up. Kept telling us that they were programmed to see and track us through the walls. They still do, but BSG muzzled them as a gaslighting technique.
I think that when you pick more and more loot more scavs spawn around you, i have quest to kill 50 scavs, trying find thay when i witgout any loot and find 9 for 1 run, but when i put some expensive loot in backpack i have 30+scavs/raid
Had this trouble while I was trying to complete Farming pt2 this week. Back to back raids with loads of PMCs. We got lasered down and aggro'd like 5-8 PMCs. spawned in the corner w/ the trucks near the first part of Farming pt2. If the gear being brought in scales up the PMCs, that would make sense. I went in with a t6 body armour and t5 helmet alongside a kitted MDR.
Bro, for the first like 30-40 raids I had 100% survival rate. Maybe I am getting lazy now that I am high lvl but tbh I am at 75% sr right now (300raids deep) and I get one tapped from time to time.
Tip there's a bug where the game dosent sync your armor, so when you load in throw it on the ground to force the server to load it, then put it back on , I've found it helps
@@pdj2975 haven't heard of it but it almost makes sense. like 95% of my deaths when wearing lvl 5/6 armor have been one taps. doesn't feel like the armor does anything
Went into ground zero fairly geared and died 4+ times in a row, could barely get to the task, said fk it and ran a paca with a pistol and could magically get multiple objectives done at once.
I don’t believe it’s true, I went in with a Timmy loadout on streets of tark and got mobbed by 15 scavs that were decent difficulty. Had me stuck in a stairwell and we pushing from upstairs and downstairs
Shoreline run geared and thickkkk me and my buddy have a lot of high risk area quests Pew pew laser from miles away and its rogues blacking limbs instantly and tracking us relentlessly Next raid barebones kit and it was full of ai who look at you say hello adjust their trousers, pick thier nose and then decide to shoot if you havent already. Think theres something in it
I don’t think so people just expect level 6 to save them and it doesn’t do much when you get thoraxed Edit : also don’t know if you have ever noticed but the maps difficulty is different for pve then pvp for example when in a pve server and you click on customs and read it it’ll says “ easy” and if you switch to pvp and do the same thing it says “hard “ ( or very hard don’t have the game pulled up rn ) I’ve wondered if the difficulty is the ai’s difficulty hence why labs and light houses pmc’s feel stronger
Had at least 6 PMC when all i had was a pistol. I was killed by the 6th so not sure if there were more. Im not sure about the better the kit the more A.I
40+ kills a raid on almost any map excluding Factory and Labs, all of othe AI ignores eachother 90% of the time so i constantly fighting 15+ sized groups consisting of PMCs, Guards, scavs and sometimes bosses, ive seen scavs throw grenades the opposite way of me and somehow the grenades home in and kill me, i brought a bagarly and exfil with a raid backpack only to get 2 tapped by a scav using GEKSA to the stomach with "blunt damage" , scavs immediatly track to the nearest PMC body even if the PMC died on the other side of streets, every other raid all of the AI acts as if im tagged and cursed (most common on customs, reserve and shoreline) one raid i spawned into night time customs near big red only to see from afar as a 4 man group of pmcs rushed me from dorms along with goons and scavs from stronghold. Scavs are absolutelly cracked, im constantly getting head eyes by scavs who take hipfire potshots while walking 100+ meters away, everytime i get into a fight the game turns into a wave defense as i have to fend off wave after wave of scavs and pmcs that constantly spawn, forcing me to pick up guns,ammo and meds of off the corpses so i can even make it out, i also noticed that everytime i bring good gear i barely get into any fights or get onetapped instantly(rigs with lvl5/6 plates, ulachs, exfils, raid packs, meta m4 with M855A1) but when i bring a loadout with max lvl4 plates, lvl3 helmets and a slightly modded AKS-UB with BT ammo, i constantly run into bosses and cracked out pmcs, i know BSG thinks PVE is easier but they shouldnt counter it with infinitely spawning scavs, overly agressive and cracked out AI and awfull loot. sorry for the long comment, just wanted to share my experience
ok i just did 2 times ground zero to try PVE, scav runing to my spawn like crazy, i did 30+ kills each game in the spawn room. ended up dying because i was out of ammo... this is pretty bad i guess i'll wait for an AI update
Soon as I shoot a scav every AI on the entire map swarms me, have to take in 1000 rounds of ammo and stay close to an extract to have any chance to survive.
1000% that’s how it works, went back to ground zero as a Chad to do a task with a buddy. Got killed by an army of scavs. There was like 20 scavs that pushed me at once. Ran out of ammo and died. I got 14 of them before I died. Felt like nazi zombie for a moment.
I may have to test this too by running some lower tier kits on various maps. Ive only done high tier kits so far cause of how insurance works. Would love to see some more testing, from you and the community.
i just want them to stop instantly lasering me with grenades or all 3 ai's shooting me across the map when i happen to cross a window for a .5 second...
when i hear them saying or see them doing anything at all related to grenades i start runnin already cuz I know that shits about to land square between my 2 feet somehow.
Yeah, scavs are way too accurate with nades.
It is still better than being chased by people having all those things 😂
Had one grenade himself today lol
Yeah scav grenades are insane and when I go to loot em surprisingly no grenades
Loaded in to Ground Zero for daily task (kill 12 scavs). Level 6 armor, geared to the brim. As soon as the AI spawned I got shot from 3 directions, went inside buildings and circled to another side of the map. They didnt stop chasing me and somehow managed to get the boss to chase me too. It total I was swarmed at emercom by at least 7 of them, a mix of PMC and Boss/Guards judging by the kills I got. They were pushing me through grenades, didnt run away just kept running towards me, killed a few with nades and the rest just ran next to me and executed me point blank.
It wasnt their aim that bothered me, it was the suicidal aggression!
They always aggro like that if the boss starts tracking you
@@blakeolinger1220
The problem is that I went inside a building, went through the back of it breaking line of sight, and came out the other side of the building.
The NPC should not know where I am after I go inside a building and come out the other end. I was more than 70 meters away from them, there is no sound cue to give my position away, they simply followed me around the building knowing where I was at all times. This has to be fixed. The bots having Aimbot is how they function that is fine. But breaking line of sight and sound should disengage them. The ESP targeting though walls is bullsh*t.
@@t0sh0vr I know man it's dumb as hell
You are tagged and cursed just like in pvp offline mode once you are detected they will do everything to make sure you are deleted
I’ve had like eight of them show up at customs road extract on shoreline. I killed 2 in front of me, next thing I know they are rushing in from everywhere. I was 2 seconds from extraction. I can’t go to stronghold without the goons being there and laser beaming me or rushing me.
People say things like the armor is bugged, or they die too fast. With the new update, you gotta know some key things about certain chest rigs and armor carriers not fully covering thorax or sides. Look for rigs with T3 soft armor that covers all of the thorax, like the Osprey (P) rig, or Gen4 armor. Gigabeef did a great tierlist breakdown and explanation of the new armor system as he talks about every rig, but the video is mainly PvP focused so keep that in mind.
If you learn about the armor, you'll die a LOT less. Also why the PvE ballistic T4 facemask is going for like 3mil. It's meta against those lower jaw face shots random scavs might bop you with on occasion.
Also a little tip for most PMC AI. DON'T engage from a distance, unless you can significantly outrange them, or they'll laser you. If you can get in close, their AI is a lot more forgiving and you can usually just bop them in the skull with a pistol. IF you have to engage from a distance (for a quest or somethin) try to get the 1 tap or outrange their AI from being able to engage back. Best spots I've found for these quests is Customs Big Red, you can look down at RUAF extract and usually there will be 3 PMC that spawn there you can engage and take out without them shooting back. Or on Woods, sitting up by military checkpoint and aiming at scav house, they wont hit you from that far. The mid range is where they will eat you alive.
Raiders, Bosses, and Rogues are a different story though. There's optimized paths for almost every single one that plenty of other creators have covered. I'm sure if you got stuck on the Lighthouse tasks like me, you'll have to reference one or keep dying to some BS from miles away.
Only think i wish is that PvE server length is increased because Woods and Lighthouse feel too short. You can really only hit 1 large landmark and loot in full depth, then the raid hits 10mins and you have to rush to extract or get an MIA.
I popped onto Ground Zero for a quick 20 minute adventure as a level 7 with an mp5 and some light armor and ran into Terragroup garage from the spawn nearby. There were 2 pmcs to fight immediately. After backing out of the garage to regroup, had to down 3 more scavs. Inside Terragroup HQ even more raiders and scavs outside the main entrance and everyone was super aggressive. Wouldve brought different kit in if id known they were gonna be out for blood like that.
well i don't know, it might just be random. But I've ran 3 labs raids today, 1 bad loadout, lvl 4 armor, vector 9mm, and I only saw 1 pmc the whole raid, and he just stood there mostly. then i ran a good loadout and an insane loadout and both times got pushed to death by at least 5 pmcs pretty much at the same time.
same with me it's stupid
i got lasered 5 times then i got lvl4 armor with 9mm vector and there was a raider brain afk
Loving the series! Really enjoy your vibes bro!
My only ask is... throw all those Eft pve videos into a playlist so new subscribers cn easily watch all the videos in a row.
Cant wait to see you blow up
Thats not really nice of you 😡
Thanks for the support bro! PVE Only playlist on the way by the end of the day!
@@AcezEFT Awesome i have been sending my friends your vids
I definitely feel like running heavy armor and weapons makes me sluggish and makes it more difficult to peek the AI and gets me killed.
I also get "triple tapped" a lot where the AI shoots once and i die instantly and the death screen shows three hits to thorax.
More testing needed i think
in regards to armor and dieing. i typically run a t3 aramid plate carriar. covers chest, back, sides by default with aramid. then i add t5 ceramic side plates and buy aluminum t4 front and back plates. then if i find some ceramic t5 plates in the wild i swap to those. 18 slots with a weight of 6.2kg with average t5 front, back and side coverage. survived lots of hits that i normally would have died to. arms go fast naturally but so far have yet to get a red chest.
don’t forget the bots have 0 ping
I've noticed that there is something with the number of scavs. When I do a pistol run for loot i encounter 1 or 2. When i get lvl 5-6 armor and some stuff, the number of scavs is ridiculous. Sometimes, i see them spawning out of thin air. Like 5-6 in the exact same spot spliting in different ways.
Oh yeah, and they can spawn right next to you. Very funny, and it's become even more of a horror game 😂
@lostscythe7117 yeah, I killed single scav behind a metal fence and hide behind it to reload. When I repeeked there were 5 waiting. Spawned like 5 m from me.
the scavs ARE fucking annoyingly insane
On Ground Zero I killed a group of 8 scavs on the mounted lmg, 2 seconds later another group of 8 spawned from thin air right next to them lol.
One of the few people ive seen making consistent PVE content! Keep it up manes!!!
The amount of times ive been 1 tapped by pst or ps ammo while wearing a altyn and lvl 6-5 armour is crazy
I’ve died more times to Pmc one tapping with 9x19 m882 through tier 5/6 armor in the thorax than I have to anything else in the game.
@@blakecongdon3719 Had a friend get one tapped by a scav using lead slugs against a t5 armour yesterday. Most of the time we die tho it's bc of scavs/pmcs hitting the throat/face w/ shit ammo.
@@blakecongdon3719y’a ever heard of fragmentation of ammo and that when ur arms are exposed the damage to them can fragment off into ur thorax and neck so you’re not being on tapped through armor like you think u are it’s just you don’t know game mechanics
good ol armpit hitbox
I love how i can watch this entire video while queuing for a PVE raid and still not find a raid after watching the entire video.....
Strange I’ve been getting into raids at 3 minutes or less. Initially I was getting long load times but I was only playing on one server. I switched to select from all American servers and it has been low since.
i usually re try after 30 seconds of matching and i definitely retry after 3 minutes
It takes you 18 min to find 1 game ?
take me 1 min find a game
@@MakkerHeineken currently around 10 mins,
Just as i was watching this video i queued into Woods with a TX-15, Ulach, tier 4 armor and a blackjack bag. I got one tapped 20 seconds into the raid
Trying to get the damn signal part 1 quest done on shoreline. 100% spawn for goons and they seem to always be at weather. I literally walked along cliff by resort to skirt around them and all of a sudden, engaged. Got smacked in stomach with 300 ap. I ran up the hill toward helicopter to heal. Big pipe ran all the way up the hill and found me sunk down in a hole, walked litteraly point blank on top of me and waxed me. Calm it down a little bit there BSG. That’s ridiculous.
Ive done a little testing like this and ive found that the squads or solo that will spawn will have different/better weapons and overall loot depending on the level they are. Very low level pmc ai will stand and look at you with mp5 and no sights shooting green tracer where as a level 40 or 50 will jiggle peak me and aimbot me a mile away lol makes sense.
uh i found pmcs with slicks and comtac 4s at lvl 1
idk killed a duo of lvl 1 pmc this morning, one had a slick other had a 6b43
@@rudlyn8958 ok, I've only had them with the level 3 plate carriers and the level 30 and above have had those same level 3 and the better ones with class 4 or 5 plates. Nobody knows the algorithm they use yet and I have 400 raids and level 43 and that's just been my personal pve experience, higher level have had better gear and been more aggressive and aimbot is all I was saying
I killed a level 2 yesterday with a fully decked akm with 120 rounds of BP lol
@@wyattphillips2748 guess nikita hates me, I only get level 1 with broken mp5 with m882 lol but the level 50s I've gotten kitted 762 mdr! That's another thing, why are pmc weapons always around 40 to 60% I can't be the only one with that
I was thinking the same thing. I tested this myself done 20 raids noob gear i noticed any enemy: ai, bosses, scavs raiders use worse ammo, lose aggro easier, overall are easier to deal with. And done the same thing with better gear best i could put on including ammo. And i didnt feel like its any easier i was simply heavier, but any ai was just better more aggressive. I didnt want to ask this question to look stupid or bad :D anyway good content bro!
PVP makes me sad because when you ask people if they just wanna be cool and they agree just to clap you instantly. PVE makes me sad because I get one shot lazed across the map with no warning. Also still have no clue when it’s a BEAR or scav when playing offline. In other words, I’m trash lol
Bear PMC speak English. You’ll get good after sometime. Play a lot of factory and listen to voice lines.
@@TheRussianWookie I play as a solo because my friends are lame and it’s weird because I’ll run scav on customs, and dudes will be speaking Russian and I’ll think I’m safe, just to have them light me up as I run by. I’ll definitely start running factory and see if that helps
@@mikemucus1527 those are probably raiders. They will shoot you after a couple of warnings from them. Doesn’t matter if you are a scav or pmc. Raiders look like scavs with more gear.
ive noticed if i dont run a bag PMCs tend to not have bags
I truly believe they nerfed PMCs since PVE launched because I was farming factory for so long hoarding good ammo and these PMCs don’t run good ammo anymore.
All AI definitely notice your flashlight when you turn it on. I have tested it by sneaking up to scavs in pve, turning on my flashlight, and they immediately recognize it as hostile even without being able to see me.
I find that high armored gear makes almost no difference for most raids, sometimes you'll have a raid where your gear saves you, but most times it feels like you have no protection even with low caliber ammos and guns. I have began to do Factory raids with only a pistol and naked and most times I am successful at getting worthwhile gear without much loss, I even had one start to a raid with an AI USMC soldier stuck running into a wall inside factory locker rooms where I spawned and was able to kill him one shot and take a good set of gear, it's like it punishes you for trying to beef out. You spend so much money insuring your weapons, maintaining your gear; replenishing ammo and taking so much space in your stash only to die immediately and lose it all and your ammo, you don't feel so tied down or attached to not dying when all you have to lose on your pmc is just a pistol and a few magazines and health kits.
Don't even bring health kits. Just 1 pistol and the mag that's in it. Nothing else. You shouldn't even need to fire your gun at all. You can sneak around and wait for PMC to kill scav and take scav gun. Then start killing and looting everyone. If you get shot you can just run to extraction. No need to heal at all.
@@kenshinhimura9387 Health kits are easy to find, I don't mind using one and putting it in my pouch so it doesn't disappear; it increases the odds for an unexpected gun fight if needed
@@WaterMeA-biscuit I was just saying that Factory is such a tiny map that you can sprint to the exit and extract before you bleed to death. Saves you a lot of meds. Either way works just fine. I found that hanging out in that green metal shipping container near gate 3 will get you a TON of free kills. The ai is dumb and will slowly walk in 1 at a time and allow you to headshot them. I had over 20 bodies piled up at my feet the other day using this trick.
Nah, I run juiced all the time and have a couple of random deaths. Sometimes, AI is gonna accidentally hit your noggin 😅
My buddies and I ran a three man for about 7 hours total friday night anf we only had one 5 min wait and two 3 min wait. All the others were either instant or around the two minute mark. Obviously just anecdotal but it definitely was far better than last friday, which was brutal.
I'd also like to point out that the more people you play with, the more spawns you get and the more aggressive they all seem. When I play with my two buddies, swarm mentality seems to get us wiped often. And atleast one of will get one tapped by buckshot from 30 yards away while in full gear.
No, it's not a thing. The difficulty of the raid in PvE is completely random. At any time, the game can decide to absolutely destroy you by spawning 25+ AI that all directly run at you to kill you. The only thing that is going to give you a chance against that unfair bullshit is good gear, like full protection body armor with level 3 aramid and level 6 plates, a helmet with full face protection, a nice headset, and a nice and expensive gun with lots of ammo. Even still, some encounters are impossible to survive if fought head-on, and other times, the AI spawns directly beside you just outside peripheral vision or behind you, leaving you with no time to react. Only rarely will there be the "dead raids," but in reality, it seems dead because there is a horde of AI all running in a congo line across the map or you're in a factory raid where Nikita himself is giving you a chance to do your stupid task so he only is spawning a few AI scav at a time.
For reference, I am 80k/d, 80% survival rate and i run T7 thermal almost every raid.
I am seeing a lot of pmc + scavs rushing me together as if they are all one squad, never saw it or noticed it in the 2 months I’ve been playing pve. Like I already killed several hordes of scavs raiders and pmcs in the reserve bunker, just for the wave that kills me be a scav throwing open the door and tanking all my shots while the usecs behind him each throw a short fuse grenade at me.
could be that I am just really bad at the game, but it feel random to me. I have gone in with good gear and naked pistol runs/minimal loadouts and results have varried.
I think there's some randomness involved. yesterday spawned in with a friend as 2 timmies only running a handgun on the spawn that typically gets rushed (in the corner behind one of the red gates with the 2 jackets right outside). while we were looting the jackets we immediately got pushed by 3 scavs. so i don't think its loadout dependant
i havent experienced this myself honestly. ive done raids with barely any gear, ive done raids with tier 6 armor an crazy decked out guns an from my experience its all rng as to what type of raid. theirs probably some type of roll that happens when you load into raid that decides how many pmcs will be in raid, how aggressive theyll be, etc. but who tf knows with bsg man.
Night raids are always a charm. Especially in Woods and Lighthouse with thermals.
Wouldn't surprise me honestly and also at the same time makes sense to do that so people can enjoy it at a level they want.
I use the tier 4 face mask with lvl 5 amour that protects my arms neck seems two save me a lot
So far it made no difference for me. No matter what gear I put on the pmcs are random. Meaning that sometimes they are low lvl, sometimes high, but rarely actually mixed. You either get the high or low end of pmc levels, cannot remember a raid, where I had below lvl 10 guys paired with lvl 50+ guys.
Only thing that is true, that if their level is higher, they have better ammunition, like BP and stuff. But otherwise, gear is mostly the same through all levels, guns too.
Also their reaction time/aim is significantly higher/better at lvl 50+... These damn aimbotters
hey man ive noticed if you stand still for too long some bots, especially pmc and guards will pop out of their normal spawns and come to kill you, im not too sure but i have had some weird incidents that feel a little weird
For my buddy and I, I’ve noticed the level of the AI PMC can have higher gear for higher levels, AND the ones closer to or over level 50 are worse than rogues/raiders :’)
I’ve had a theory that the loot pool is generated from an average of the PMC’s gear coming in so people risking more are rewarded more (on the PvP side).
The more spoken theory is total # of PMC’s ups the loot pool, but that would bring up the average, AND, people on PvP heavy servers are probably bringing decent gear as well
Its kind of hard to argue from my perspective. Although i agree that GZ from your new video is an absolute warzone, i went in with the best gear i had. Thor - Altyn - AP 559 - Built AR. About 30 seconds into a raid there was AI PMC's across the street probably 75 yards+. 2 seconds later, Tom Brady spawned into the map and threw a touch down worthy grenade over a set of stairs so DAMN LASERED IT WENT INTO MY FACE SHIELD and instantly killed me. Surrounded by 3 Mid level geared friends i died, it literally clipped into my face shield like a fucking jump scare. I wish this was a joke. Started running pistols and blue untar gear in GZ and its been manageable.
Ive also noticed that if tagilla is on the map there wont spawn any pmc's untill tagilla is killed
I aslo feel like the pmc's are sometimes perfect killers and sometimes looking at a wall just to be shot
I went to factory brought a bolt action sniper with an optic and some armor, one pmc had a bolt action as well (with a scope), another with a pump action shotgun. usually i only see assault rifles or smgs.
I ran cheap runs with 1911 and found high lvl pmcs, and the opposite going sweat. I think you notice it more when you care about your gear rather than when you have a throwaway set.
I recently played on interchange to kill killa and he spawned nearly every time i had low tier stuff . As soon as i went good ammo hes been unseen Or heard for 30+ raids. but had tons of pmc kills.
I was using the tagged n cursed mechanic on factory for giggles. Lvl 50 pmcs, 4 n 5 stacks. I had a 5.7. Lol
I couldn't really tell if it was the gear or my level going up. I was saving my better gear for the harder tasks.
I started pve 3 days ago and only been running a shotgun and paca vest and the cheapest helmet but good shotgun ammo with good flesh damage and almost aways come out with raider gear and good armor.
the gear thing might be true, also.. if youre getting "1 tapped" go check to see if your getting double, or triple hit from 1 bullet. it has happened to me, when im wearing level 6 armor
Yea, I've been shot once in the chest with 9mm m882 through lvl 6 plates in a lvl 3 aramid carrier. Death screen said 3 shots. Which still shouldn't have happened but w/e
Trying to do Secured Perimeter and have been 1 or 2 tapped through Killa's Lvl 6 helmet or Zabralo armor with ammo that have virtually no chance to pen either. Like M855, TKM FMJ, or trash 9x18mm rounds. And last 3 raids when PMCs were actually around the office, instant headshot with instant death. Something really needs to be fixed here
That helmet is worthless. A pistol can 1 shot you in the head through that helmet. I've done it.
An easy way they could do this is just based on the armor that you’re wearing. We know they do have several different AI profiles so kind of makes sense they would adjust it to your gear. Otherwise, PVE would be too hard in the beginning and too easy at the end
I feel as well that you have more pmc/scav interaction if you go into a raid with a friend. As well as high themed difficulty
Proof of concept, so now scale it up. Do 5 raids with both sets of gear and find a trend from each set.
Idk if it's really the kit or not. I've always ran best gear I could and the only ai differences I've noticed is like, labs, lighthouse, and reserve PMCs are CRACKED. the rest of the maps are hit or miss. like interchange pmcs are easy, in fact if it wasn't for the voice lines I wouldn't be able to tell scav from pmc upon initial engagement. LOVE LOVE LOVE the PvE content though. my brother and I have been playing A TON and your vids are always brought up everytime
In my experience it makes absolutely no difference at all. I get lasered head eyes just as often as a potato in a paca as I do running heavy gear.
For me it feels like I am tagged and cursed, whenever I go in full high end gear xD
So many variables involved in this, its really tough to say for sure
I feel like there is a difference, once I first started it felt.... easy, but the moment I hit level 5 the scavs got much faster
Better gear equaling more PMCs would explain why I found next to no PMCs anymore as soon as I started running Setup. Before I easily hit 10+ PMC kills per Customs raid.
Your stash is giving me anxiety 😂
Between grenades and walking under them its impossible to tell imo. Grandes seem to activate them and I know walking underneath or above them will trigger their awareness of you. I personally believe its RNG. Also 200ish scav raids?!
yeah i went into lighthouse with the full coverage thor armor and tagilla's helmet, got that dookie spawn just up the mountain by the village, went up toward the village, 3-4 scavs crawl out the wood works charging me, they light me up in the helmet, i kill 2, then one of them throws the most perfect grenade at my feet over the house i was using for cover
I feel like its dependent on your ammo selection. Try same kit with different ammo
My buddy and I scav run in factory in PvE and sometimes we get games with one or no PMCs.
If we scav with good gear or our PMCs with decent gear then we run into 5+ PMCs. I just wish all their gears durability wasn't trash.
Me and my 3 man can confirm the AI seem a bit more aggressive and numerous when in larger groups and when equipped with better gear, we've ran into 14 PMCs at radio tower and pier in 2 separate raids when using good gear, after dying we ran into maybe 2 at both places running basic AK-103s, level 4 and Ulachs
i found that to cut the Q timer i have to have a ping of 100+ to get in within 3 mins an under. US servers suck, so i now Q in UK servers an the ping doesnt effect my game unless i exceed 230 ping
Very interesting, I wonder if it’s tied to the value of your insurance and that determines the ai skill and gear of the PMC’s and bosses
I've run 30 raids with only a Five-Seven and a slick, been running into a bunch of PMC and Tagilla with drum mag shotgun and RPK. I don't think the gear matters. I've had a couple of empty raids too.
I think the insane reactions and accuracy could be toned down a bit. Though I wouldn’t mind facing better equipped pmcs the higher level you are and/or the better gear you bring in, but make it fair at least.
I find that I get more hits in my thorax without a helmet. BUT When I wear one,, I get head tapped every time 😤
They need to add a PMC cap like in live. I killed over 7 PMCs on factory, with like 2-3 still up and running around killing scavs. It’s a bit ridiculous.
As a scav I saw a scav walk right up to a pmc and both did nothing. I walk up thinking the PMC is dead and I get my ass blasted.........
It seems like the PMC bots are very squirrely when it comes to scavs. Sometimes they aggro, sometimes they don't immediately aggro and ll you into a false sense of security, then blast your ass.
I'm sure there is something to it happend to me multiple times one tap or laser beam don't have even time to react
i thought it was connected to weight as if they heard me. but value makes sense too
I'm about to try this on woods because I hate that map and I'm always died because the pmcs
I wonder if it checks your secure container as well
Hey! Love the content more than you know. Three videos a day would be awesome, but that's a lot. Be sure not to stress yourself over it. We don't want you getting burnt out! Love ya!
Thanks for looking out! I think I can handle it for now, we’ll see, worst case scenario is I drop it down to 2 on days I need a slight break! Thanks for the huge level of support!
i have been running slick/sr25 for the majority of my raids and havnt had a problem. 167 raids with 137 surv and 1227 kills. the goons have been more responsible for my deaths than anything
Yeah the bosses are usually what laser me and my buddy when we play together. Although we've also been hit with the classic Tarkov scav one-tap a few times. Buddy got one-tapped by a shotgun scav using lead slugs, triple-hit bug hit through the torso armour and killed him before he could shoot more than twice. Similarly, scavs and pmcs alike will easily snap to your unprotected hitboxes if your within 10 meters, so be careful when approaching scavs/pmcs that close. Buddy was wearing a t6 armour and t5 helmet and a scav with a pistol one-tapped him to the jaw with PSO.
nice video i still have the problem of not getting into matches no matter how many matching servers i select im from eu does anyone have a fix yet?
I don't think it's dependent on what gear you bring that defines difficulty. I think each "pmc" has their own stats, so some might be more perceptive, and some may be more aggressive and push up on you. There are also ones that camp. It is super annoying though when they see you from 200m away through a bush.
It’s actually random, I’ve ran into level 50 pms while I’m level 10 and running minimal gear.
Funny to watch this months later because BSG was forced to shut their AI up. Kept telling us that they were programmed to see and track us through the walls. They still do, but BSG muzzled them as a gaslighting technique.
I think that when you pick more and more loot more scavs spawn around you, i have quest to kill 50 scavs, trying find thay when i witgout any loot and find 9 for 1 run, but when i put some expensive loot in backpack i have 30+scavs/raid
I did a factory raid earlier and got 8 fully stacked pmcs 5 usec 3 bear. Cant load into a raid anymore.
Had this trouble while I was trying to complete Farming pt2 this week. Back to back raids with loads of PMCs. We got lasered down and aggro'd like 5-8 PMCs. spawned in the corner w/ the trucks near the first part of Farming pt2. If the gear being brought in scales up the PMCs, that would make sense. I went in with a t6 body armour and t5 helmet alongside a kitted MDR.
Bro, for the first like 30-40 raids I had 100% survival rate. Maybe I am getting lazy now that I am high lvl but tbh I am at 75% sr right now (300raids deep) and I get one tapped from time to time.
I want to uninstall so bad some times.
5.45 PS is killing me in less than 0.5 seconds to thorax when I'm wearing level 6 armor. It's fucking insane.
Tip there's a bug where the game dosent sync your armor, so when you load in throw it on the ground to force the server to load it, then put it back on , I've found it helps
@@pdj2975 haven't heard of it but it almost makes sense. like 95% of my deaths when wearing lvl 5/6 armor have been one taps. doesn't feel like the armor does anything
Dude great stuff as always…nice work man!!! Just luv your channel and absolutely luv EFT and the new PVE mode!! Keep it up please!!
Went into ground zero fairly geared and died 4+ times in a row, could barely get to the task, said fk it and ran a paca with a pistol and could magically get multiple objectives done at once.
I don’t believe it’s true, I went in with a Timmy loadout on streets of tark and got mobbed by 15 scavs that were decent difficulty. Had me stuck in a stairwell and we pushing from upstairs and downstairs
Shoreline run geared and thickkkk me and my buddy have a lot of high risk area quests
Pew pew laser from miles away and its rogues blacking limbs instantly and tracking us relentlessly
Next raid barebones kit and it was full of ai who look at you say hello adjust their trousers, pick thier nose and then decide to shoot if you havent already. Think theres something in it
3 videos a day dont burn out bro.
I don’t think so people just expect level 6 to save them and it doesn’t do much when you get thoraxed
Edit : also don’t know if you have ever noticed but the maps difficulty is different for pve then pvp for example when in a pve server and you click on customs and read it it’ll says “ easy” and if you switch to pvp and do the same thing it says “hard “ ( or very hard don’t have the game pulled up rn ) I’ve wondered if the difficulty is the ai’s difficulty hence why labs and light houses pmc’s feel stronger
Had at least 6 PMC when all i had was a pistol. I was killed by the 6th so not sure if there were more. Im not sure about the better the kit the more A.I
40+ kills a raid on almost any map excluding Factory and Labs, all of othe AI ignores eachother 90% of the time so i constantly fighting 15+ sized groups consisting of PMCs, Guards, scavs and sometimes bosses, ive seen scavs throw grenades the opposite way of me and somehow the grenades home in and kill me, i brought a bagarly and exfil with a raid backpack only to get 2 tapped by a scav using GEKSA to the stomach with "blunt damage" , scavs immediatly track to the nearest PMC body even if the PMC died on the other side of streets, every other raid all of the AI acts as if im tagged and cursed (most common on customs, reserve and shoreline) one raid i spawned into night time customs near big red only to see from afar as a 4 man group of pmcs rushed me from dorms along with goons and scavs from stronghold. Scavs are absolutelly cracked, im constantly getting head eyes by scavs who take hipfire potshots while walking 100+ meters away, everytime i get into a fight the game turns into a wave defense as i have to fend off wave after wave of scavs and pmcs that constantly spawn, forcing me to pick up guns,ammo and meds of off the corpses so i can even make it out, i also noticed that everytime i bring good gear i barely get into any fights or get onetapped instantly(rigs with lvl5/6 plates, ulachs, exfils, raid packs, meta m4 with M855A1) but when i bring a loadout with max lvl4 plates, lvl3 helmets and a slightly modded AKS-UB with BT ammo, i constantly run into bosses and cracked out pmcs, i know BSG thinks PVE is easier but they shouldnt counter it with infinitely spawning scavs, overly agressive and cracked out AI and awfull loot. sorry for the long comment, just wanted to share my experience
I rekon it could be based on value of total loot/gear carried
ok i just did 2 times ground zero to try PVE, scav runing to my spawn like crazy, i did 30+ kills each game in the spawn room. ended up dying because i was out of ammo... this is pretty bad i guess i'll wait for an AI update
Best Channel on the Matter so far
Had in customs 21 scav kills and ran out of ammo they just kept coming i survived but there was lot more coming but ruaf saved me :D
Soon as I shoot a scav every AI on the entire map swarms me, have to take in 1000 rounds of ammo and stay close to an extract to have any chance to survive.
Interchange is like this, every time I play coop with my buddy, we get swarmed by dozens of scavs and pmcs the moment we kill a couple scavs.
Would love some more pmc spawn vids ACEZ love the vids man 🫶🏼
I never get Tagilla to melee, he always blasts me in the face
1000% that’s how it works, went back to ground zero as a Chad to do a task with a buddy. Got killed by an army of scavs. There was like 20 scavs that pushed me at once. Ran out of ammo and died. I got 14 of them before I died. Felt like nazi zombie for a moment.
I can see it but I can't feel it it feels the same. But a bigger group of raids could tell. If you stream on twitch could be a good couple streams
I may have to test this too by running some lower tier kits on various maps. Ive only done high tier kits so far cause of how insurance works. Would love to see some more testing, from you and the community.
I've had tagilla spawn with a couple pmcs on a few raids back to back, am I the only one?
