Anyone else finding sugar like everywhere? I keep finding these packs like as if my PMC was destined to die from diabetes!

I was at the scav pmc coop exit on reserve and I started doing the signal shooting pattern thing. I was using the one they do at hockey and baseball games. Anyways I heard someone over by medical building do it back so I thought maybe they were coming? So I did it again and he did it again. Then moments later an all out fight broke out over there. He must have gotten clapped in the fight after drawing attention to himself. He should have just came to me but maybe he was signaling to me that he needed help and maybe he was trapped in a room and wanted me to come help him. Anyways.. So I continue to do the shooting pattern over the course of a few minutes and wasted about 100 rounds of bs and bt for nothing. I had failed this man but I was not about to fail my missions and my will to survive gave me to power to hit my w key all way to extract. So I left up the mountain to dome and down to D2.

This is slightly off topic, but I just purchased my first gaming pc and all the good things that go with it. AND ITS ALL ARRIVING TOMORROW!!! I’m so excited! I’ve been watching people like Pestily play Tarkov for over a year now and I’ve been wanting to get into PC gaming for ages. I plan on Tarkov being the first game I try out.
ID: h502ktsTarkov will feel like someone is kicking you in the dick on the regular. After 1000 hrs though I always come back for the thrill. it is very unique but hard to learn and very rewarding when you get it.

I feel like the more equipment I go into raid with the faster I'll die. I can run in with lv4 armor and a gun I spent 30 minutes customizing and get clapped by a PMC running a VEPR or an AKS-74u, but when I jump into a raid with a paca and a TT or an SKS the kills flow like water. Then I build up my stash and stare at it knowing as soon as I take it back into raid it'll be gone.
ID: h4s7vs1You probably play more carefully with lower gear vs being overconfident with better. That's my issue anyways
ID: h4s1aysIt's all a weird confidence thing. I do the exact same honestly. I find I rely on the idea that my armor will help but honestly should be playing as if I'm naked.

Nerfing the scav karma once agains proves that BSG isnt really good at properly balancing the game or understanding player interaction, when the gains and penalties are so low people are going to go back to shooting each other on sight

Two Woods raids in a row end midway through by a (head,eyes) out of nowhere. Scav into Customs, find a bunch of loot (intelligence, bunch of BS ammo, 2 morphine syringes for my quest) so I head to the Factory Far Corner extract. Get there with 1:30 left in the raid and see another scav jogging up to the extract too. He wiggles at me, I wiggle back. About to extract and he opens fire and kills me.
Pain.
-
I just killed someone camping bridge extract on woods with an SKS, I went up to their body, found 2 bodies and thought "cool, camper killed a camper". Extracted, and it turns out holy fuck I collatted them with the same shot. I fuckin' love this game
-
I think this is the 10th time in a row I've been 1 tapped without even seeing my killer. Incredibly frustrating
-
Started interchange quests last night and already seen like 3 raids where I've killed 4-5 player scavs less than 10 minutes in, kinda hoping that gets tuned back. Meanwhile every scav I go into customs is sub 10 minutes. Shits weird man
-
Can we get more of a penalty for killing friendly scavs. It's not even enough tried to have fun helped save a scav killed the PMC offered some meds. Then he healed up and killed me. And my 2 other friendly scavs that I met in interchange.
-
Is there like a Tarkov University where I can learn stuff?
People on about getting 5k xp a raid minimum and I’m here averaging 1k if that. I feel like I’m doing something wrong.
-
I'm like.. 80% sure I lost scav karma by shooting back and killing a player scav that had shot at and hit me multiple times (before I even fired a bullet). AI scavs on the map didn't go hostile on me though, and I didn't get the popup, but my fence rep is lower than it used to be. Anyone else experienced something like this? Maybe I'm just interpreting what I've heard about the system so far incorrectly.

Playing my first serious wipe after trying to play a few times before. Scav run on factory is pretty easy and so far the wiggle wiggle has been working. PMC on the other hand is harder as expected. I died almost 10 times trying to do the Search Mission on Woods. For some reason the other players always see me first and I get a lot of one taps to the head. Anyway, one day I'll get this quest done.
I'm now sitting at level 5 and 300k away from getting the scav junk box from therapist.
ID: h4sf6xdKeep trying. The real game on woods is playing the stealth game and seeing the enemy first. My tip would be to stick to the expansion side of the map avoid spine middle and plane area as much as possible and clear out large areas by getting high ground on rocks before you commit. Always remember to check your sides. Also check behind you periodically. When you get into towns take it slow and listen. Also don’t just sprint through areas when you can’t see what is in front of you. Walk through those areas where you feel safe and like no one can see you because you also can’t see them in those areas. If you die. Save the clip on nvidia. Did you die because you didnt see him when he was on your screen or because you failed to sweep your sectors? These are things you need to think about. Good luck. Also something like a scoped sks is critical on woods. You can build one for about 50k

Has anyone noticed that many duffle bags / jackets are already opened at the very beginning of the raid?
ID: h4uo7nmYES, duffles. All duffles say close, even if I spawn directly next to one.
ID: h4v29tgYep. They almost always have loot in them if you close and reopen.
-
Has anyone else been having weird audio issues since wipe?
Specifically where loud noises will randomly cause all sound to cut out, then ramp back up until they're ear splittingly loud, sometimes in a loop.
Example
I've submitted an official bug report already. Just curious if I'm the only one experiencing this.
-
Went into interchange with just an MPX, came out with a slick, 2 tetriz, a GPU, and 2 player kills. That’s a nice feeling.
-
I found a graphics card in a duffle. I just wanted to share with someone.
-
Just me that's having stuttering and major framerate issues the past week? I mean loading into a map and stuttering every 3 seconds for like 1 second bad. I loaded into reserve on a scav and the lag was so bad it made my game crash. I almost think it's a memory leak or something.
-
Bunker PT 1 can actually lick my nuts, sooooo crowded right now haha, its insane
-
is the game at early mid or late wipe currently? im trying to get back to tarkov not because i love the game its just because i have no other games to play.
-
Is there a bug megathread somewhere?
I’ve noticed an old “item already purchased” window instead of notification, anyone getting it?
Just changed my provider at the same date with wipe, now I have long loading into menu after raids and hanging flea at random times. Anyone getting this?
-
(HELP) So I’ve been playing for a long Time now on a Surface book 2 15inch. The game has always played smoothly for me with no issues. Since yesterday though I can now only play factory it seems. Anything else and my game crashes back to launcher. I’ve never had this issue before. Does anyone know what to do?
ID: h58hatkincrease your paging file size, google how to

Are the devs implementing a visual change to scavs with low to negative karma? Some of my friends say that they may be putting in place a specific outfit for "bad" scavs to make them more easily identifiable. I doubt this is a real thing, but I would actually really like it considering I'm trying to play the game as the devs intended and get massively punished for it.

Me and my Brother were playing customs. Probably a 33% survival rate between us both and just trying to sneak around and ambush people. Caught two guys using the factory key short cut and as they came out my brother engaged them but died quickly. I was able to kill the second guy but the first guy got away initially. We both re-engaged each other from different locations, railroad, woods, front of gas, and then in between the cars before we end up at the blue container in front of gas. Emptied all of my shotgun shells into the dude as he's limping around and pull out my last 15 rounds of my AK. Turn the corner and he unloads his last pistol clip of ammo into me. I didn't fire, he crouches and then wiggles. My sight over his eyes and I just stopped. I shook my head at him and he takes all his gear off. I motioned to put it back as I didn't want it and we waved at each other. Both went over and dealt with our deceased allies, gave him my brothers dogtag because he deserved it. We then went around the map, I learned from him in this little amount of time and eventually I opened the marked room. I took a pistol but motioned for him grab the mag case and mp7. We cleared rooms together, bear and USEC. No communication but our flashlights. We then made our way to the boat extract and got out. I have to say this is my favorite memory of tarkov. This is why through all of the cheaters, glitches, and pain I will keep coming back. Good luck bear brother. Next match my brother headshot me though.

Does anyone have a bitcoin farm, and is it worth it?

Ok, so I’m really struggling so far this wipe. I’m trying to play carefully, avoiding fights and avoiding firing my gun so as not to draw attention to myself, but my survival rate is abysmal. Because I keep dying I’m running out of money and with insurance I’m not always getting back my gear. I need some tips on how I can make some money and what some good cost effective loadouts I can run are. I’ve got EOD and still have the majority of the starter gear but I don’t just want to sell it if there’s a quick way I can make some cash. Thanks in advance
ID: h53w7vnYou need to learn a few loot runs so if you do end up going broke, it will only take a few raids/scav runs to build up roubles again. Check Pestilys guides on YouTube. What level are your traders at, and what loadouts have you been running? Gun, armour, ammo?
ID: h54s5v6Best advice I ever received was to move faster and to not creep about as much. Definitely a time and a place for silent walking but I walk/run a lot more now.
Interchange stash run as pmc or Scav Interchange and head to National 4xfilling cabinets and 2xjackets and loot spawns on shelfs.
Good luck!
ID: h547rf1Learn a loot run or scav for money. Also evaluate your playstyle and determine why you're dying in raids. A simple way to make money is to not die, easier said than done, but not needing to buy a new kit is a good bit of money.
Also loot everything, you can always drop stuff later, but you should never leave a raid with an empty slot unless you're focusing on quests that raid

Who’s dick do I gotta suck to get a fucking gas analyzer?
20+ raids now and can’t find the last one I need.
ID: h520ja2Garages on Reserve. Swear to god every time I scav into Reserve and go to Garages I come out with 1-2 Gas Analyzers every raid on average. Its become a meme in my group at this point.
-
Why is the mosin so expensive? 50k, and ammo is 460. Did something happen to drive up the price?
-
Finally upgraded to 16gb of RAM and I cannot believe the difference it's made. I don't know how I even played last wipe.
-
Probably my best raid ever.

Just killed Killa with an axe
Made it out with a GPU and all of his gear too

Im still wondering about scav karma:
If I kill a Scav that has killed another scav, and get the +.1 for fence, however another scav comes and kills me (which ironically happens often -_-) Does the scav that kills me lose reputation points? Or should i just go rambo and defend myself at that point. -
Is it me or is there certain loot that has had the spawn rate reduced? I'm level 15 and have found a total of nine lightbulbs, and I also scav whenever its up. I also haven't found a single saline solution this whole time for level 2 medstation.
-
Got shot at by a Player scav on Shoreline, he did damage to me so I turn and 1 shot him with my 12g and I still lose .05 rep?
Really annoying.

Yeah. Knowing how much sugar I'll need later, I've been keeping all of them.
I've got about a dozen FIR sugar right now
