Felt like it could have been an event; ran most my raids at dark on customs. The sky/fog had this like red glow to it at times.
I loved going from Boss spawn to boss spawn looking for CQB fights. I personally love how some intense weather can randomly change everything in regards to how I usually move, push, and hold specific areas.
Best example turned a typically routine scav duck shoot at Old Gas into something more challenging. Where I usually stand at the corner on top of the little bridge looking into Old Gas to clear out scavs now felt too sketchy because of the weather; flashlight wasn’t strong enough to see through the rain/fog. The scavs would start yelling at me before I could see them. Had to go in close behind the van and then quickly behind the truck and sand bags to maintain cover and actually get close enough to see the scavs loitering around old gas before they saw me.
Just really had a good time last night; just wanted to share how much fun I had specifically because of the stormy weather as I know the feelings towards rain/storms are hate it or love it. I for one definitely love it.

Honestly even with how loud the rain is I love playing when its rainy, its atmospheric and immersive. I get what feels like a 20+ fps boost while its raining so thats nice too lol
ID: hk4l1cxID: hk47ql7Same. I have good hardware (3070, 5600x, 3200mhz 32 gb of ram, nvme) and I get like a 20-30 fps boost when it's raining.
ID: hk4v4faI get what feels like a 20+ fps boost while its raining
You do. The lighting/shadows in this game absolutely murder performance. It is most apparent on maps like Woods where so many complex shadows are cast by trees/grass.

I just want the thunder to be sync to the server so I can mask my gunfire with the sound. Splinter Cell stuff.
ID: hk44z2hHey is that how that works? My thunder is not that same as other people's thunder in the same raid?
ID: hk466drThat is correct. Thunder and lightning are client side so don’t think you’re being sneaky shooting with the thunderclaps. Also a quick way to tell if it was thunder or a grenade is to ask your squad mates if they heard the thunder
ID: hk49us2Sadly when you hear thunder, others might not, so you cannot count on it to mask your sounds.

My rat powers are at their peak when it storms in tarkov.
ID: hk4wt7fAbsolutely
-
Do they still tie weather to irl Geo location?
Used to love when all my raids in Tarkov would be rain for 3-4 days then brighten up near the end of the week.
Probably not as impactful for players that hop in and out. But when you play daily it really adds to the sense of a Living World
ID: hk4mpjgThey never did that afaik
ID: hk4vtgfIdk but sometimes I can’t tell what the icons are portraying, like I get the rain icon but the rest are either inaccurate or idk wtf is going on.
Hope they add a weather channel/forecast or something to intel center

It was a bad night to start trying for SBIH, I'll tell you that.
ID: hk3zbawCouldn’t even see 25m ahead let alone 100m lmao
ID: hk3zwdtMy favorite part is that I could see far until I scoped in. Then it was a foggy mess. Maybe Unite 2019 will fix that.
ID: hk4ow02Was also a bad night for killing Shturman for the quest. I tried a couple of times then gave up. I suppose AI dont care about weather that much and still one tap you from who knows where

the weather is great. People are just mad it interfers with their Call of Duty experience
-
Makes me hope for a muted winter environment.

I did a 5.3 km raid on Woods, started out in the mine field nw and had to go to the three fuel drums. Totally dark, totally raining. Not a shot fired that I heard. Really reminded me of patrolling in the rain forest when I was in the infantry. Had to use the compass a bunch to make sure I was aligned especially to dodge that mine field.
ID: hk3ztuxRaids like that are so immersive! Wish I had some IRL experience; I tend to accidentally do circles on woods at night. Like in a movie or something, left scratching my head “damn how’d I end up back here again”
ID: hk4ry4kThat is what it is like. And you only learn better by doing it. I was a Recce scout so I did a whole bunch of it including the US Army Jungle Warfare Expert Course when it was in Panama. You can get disoriented in 10 feet in that environment.
ID: hk4948vI did that quest last night as well!
ID: hk4tcahI screwed up and never checked my extract, thinking it would be the Usec gate side because I started top left, I had done the western one and then traveled north of the mountain to go to the two forest ones and confirmed my extract and the car extracts were used up and I had to go all the way back north of the mountain to outskirts. Hence the 5.3 km
I should have done my drop off on the wharf too. It was so freaking dark I really did not dare go near the mill yard. I had no night vision just an AK74 U with a flashlight and silencer if push came to shove.
-
Loving it too!!
Gives us noobs a more level playing field since sound and long range sniping are less effective.

The weather is great when its raining/storming. Only downside is when you are a in a squad and no one can hear each other lol.
ID: hk408gvYeah for sure, I was playing with one partner and it got tricky at times. Ended up just staying really close together at most times, basically shooting over each other’s shoulders. I personally would have really struggled with a group of people tbh.
ID: hk4n1yghaving an audio device /mixamp where you can turn down game (rain) and turn up discord saves my brain here.
ID: hk4q9eqThat's just standard windows volume panel, isn't it?
-
It was so peaceful. I ran scav stash runs and didn't see a single PMC to bother me or even other player scavs. Was amazing.
-
I just wish it wasn’t so god damn loud. Had to fiddle with my sound balance so I could hear my discord team, and I still felt like I was just shouting the whole time.
-
I like rain my best moments in this game have been in night heavy rain
-
Rain is the best. Love it. Haven't had enough of it myself, didn't notice any last night unfortunately.
-
I love the atmosphere of the rain tbh even if I can’t hear shit
-
I just throw my altyn on when it's heavy raining, if nobody can hear then it doesn't matter lol

I cal rain “the great equalizer,” because it tones down on the need to be hyper aware of audio differences.
