Go factory with a pistol, shoot scavs, get shotgun or AKSU, extract. Fastest way to get weapons that aren't shitty pistols.

When can I pirate for PvE?

I'm surprised, never seen that in any video or during my gameplay. No survival aspects either beyond not dying in combat. This just proves you have no clue what this is.

PVE is for testing only. Honestly I'm not sure why they are removing it.I guess they want to focus solely on the PVP.

>>386940897
>PVE is for testing only. Honestly I'm not sure why they are removing it.I guess they want to focus solely on the PVP.
I guess it's a "we want PUB audience".

>>386941010
I think it's less that and more "we want the Survarium audience" since the STALKER devs split into the Survarium guys and the EFT guys.

I mean PVE would eventually be pointless since the AI only spawns with pistols, shotguns, and AKS74Us, and if they spawned with better stuff nobody would ever play PVP. I think it's just a necessary thing to get people to bring good gear. If you could get top level gear by killing the shitty AI why would you never play anything else?

>>386941130
Why not make dedicated offline profile and online profile?

>can't find the factory key on customs
Is there a new location?

>>386941241
Again why play offline vs AI at some point once you have everything they could possibly drop? The AI only ever spawns with a very small pool of gear.

Also the game has a strong co-op focus, but I mainly think it's to keep the cycle of find good gear lose good gear.

Whatever hopes I had for it previously are now dead.

Games like that are so fucking shallow due to their pure focus around just PvP.

>>386941776
How would PVP differ from PVE in this game, other than the PVP being slightly harder?

Battlestate said like a year ago that the PVE is temporary and the full release won't have it.

I suppose if you want this game but singleplayer only there's always STALKER SOC with AMK AE is really good

>>386941883
Offline play for people that don't have solid connections and still want to play the game.

Not a big fan of STALKER either.

>>386941776
PVE is fucking boring. The AI is braindead eith aimbot. So a direct encounter equals death while every other approach is an easy win.

>>386942001
Can be fixed by refining the AI and PvE game play.

Either way, you'd rather the game just be a digital paperweight if you didn't have internet?

>>386941945
Oh that's true. I forget that not everyone has incredibly stable internet connections even though I didn't have one till early 2010s. Yeah that sucks. I mean personally I wish they would keep it in even if I'd only use it for practice for this reason.

>>386942001
PvP is fucking boring, you're either shitting on kids because you have armour or being shit on because you don't.

I'm a fucking idiot for buying into Tarkov, I regret it so much.

>>386942141
Same, ever since I upgraded my connection it's been nice. But still you gotta consider everyone when thinking about decisions like that.

>>386942118
Yes.
Because I don't like to play fps alone.

>>386942152
Stop playing like Battlefield. Armor doesn't mean shit if you can shoot accurately, manage stamina, and play routes.

Or is that only okay if From does it?

>>386942298
So you'd get rid of the option entirely for yourself and thousands of others just due to the fact that you don't enjoy playing FPS games by yourself? What's the point in that, you're lessening the game's content (which isn't even mandatory to play) just because you don't like a game mode?

Literally what kind of thought process do you have.

>>386942475
Are you retarded? Tell me where I said to get rid of it. Calm down and stop implying. I just said it is boring.

My opinion is that since it's already in the game, it's already programmed and supported, why NOT leave it in? It's already there and it works, the only reason to remove it would to force people to play PVP which in the grand scheme really wouldn't change much.

>>386942575
Faggot you asked me if i want to have pve alone and i said no. I want pve WITH pvp. Fuck off.

>Or is that only okay if From does it?
Made no reference to Dark Souls so what the fuck are you talking about.

And I know how to move in these kinds of games, I know what to do. It just never seems to pay off.

It's a shit buggy mess of a game that attracts the same people PUBG does and dudebro streamers.

>>386942704
If it's not paying off you're doing something wrong. If you simply suck at the game that's fine. I suck at it, I know the reason I'm not getting much is because I'm not good at it. Use better ammo types for one.

The ONLY bugs I've encountered are minor lag issues.

This game is too hard for PUBG casuals and too slow paced to get a big twitch audience. It's closer to the STALKER/Arma 3 games which already have a small but dedicated fanbase.

>>386942639
Agreed. There's not point in removing it.

>>386942667
Learn to follow a conversation properly. Don't get all defensive just because you misread.

>>386942898
Ok champ, you won :)

So question

Armor, overpowered or not? I've heard both sides. It seems that in the game, in PVP at least, AP ammo is pretty much required to get good kills on players.

If it were on Playstation, there'd be at least 2 threads up 24/7 praising the game. That, and the game being PvP means /v/ can't hide in singleplayer and talk shit about how great they are at it.

>>386943301
>one dude
Ok

It's a lot deeper than CoD in pretty much every way though. I mean if you don't like military FPS games you won't like this idk what to tell you. It's a milsim nearly. If you think EFT is similar to CoD at all it's a lost cause.

>>386943323
This is all pretty much true except balance isn't as good as you say. A dude with full gear and body armor and an AK74 with a quadstacked even spraying will nine times out of ten kill a scav with a makarov. You don't really run fast enough to out run bullets or aiming. It's more about position and flanking.

>>386943491
>Everyone just plays Factory with full autos and Shotties

You're right it's easier than CoD because niggas who dropped 120 bucks on the fucking game can just start with super good gear and shit on everyone effortlessly

I've run woods, like, 6 times tonight and only found one helmet. At least I got a wallet too.

>>386941269
Nope. Just keep trying the desk in 3 story dorms. There's also a spawn in a locker inside a warehouse near the end of the level, but player scavs'll likely beat you to it.

>>386943571
>Everyone
Factory is good for quick runs, anyone wanting more plays Shore/woods/customs

Also stop blaming your own playstyle on others. If you don't want to play factory than don't.

Also my friend bought the $140 edition, you don't get OP gear at the start. You get a bigger inventory and some starting pistols. It's not like they start with rifles and armor. Again, you're stating things that simply are not true.

What's the best current map that isn't Factory for weapon and gear loot (not food and garbage)

Are there really this many people here who paid money to play a beta?

>>386943491
Killing someone in armour is a lot harder, but you can't armour legs yet. Once the legs are at 0, every x points of damage (don't remember how many) there is a 20% chance of instantly dying. If you get close to someone who is fully armoured and put an entire mag into his leg, or a pair of shotgun rounds, will drop him very quickly.

>>386943571
>niggas who dropped 120 bucks on the fucking game can just start with super good gear and shit on everyone effortlessly
You don't get anything special with EOD, no armour or pimped ARs, and you lose all that the moment some newbie with a shotgun blasts you in the face as you come around the corner. I've killed so many geared up retards on factory with a shotgun and some slugs it's not even funny.

Customs is great for gear and loot once you get some keys.

>Customs key: opens the upper office area in the big warehouse near PMC spawns. Has a safe, 3 computers, some coats, and I believe a possible weapon spawn
>Room 218 key - possible weapon spawn (got an M4 there earlier today)
>Marked key - 3f dorm furthest down the hall. You'll know it when you see it. Possible weapon spawn.
>Can't remember the name, but the office building at the bus stop can spawn a weapon under the desk.
>Another key goes to a locked room in the gas station before checkpoint that can occasionally spawn a weapon I think.
>Checkpoint key unlocks that little guardpost which frequently has weapons inside as well as some other goodies.

Also the warehouse you first run into after leaving the break in the wall at checkpoint can spawn a weapon in one of the rooms. The gas station extraction point has awesome loot on the desk (weapons can spawn there but player scavs will find them first most likely). You can find the wallet on some shelves in customs, although I don't remember which warehouse it was. There's also a possible weapon/wallet spawn near the medical bag by where player scavs spawn behind gas station extraction. There's also a ton of filing cabinets on the map (the two blue buildings by PMC spawn warehouse each has a filing cabinet, and the 2 story dorm building has a room with side by side cabinets). Oh and there's a grenade case in side the white car nearest the 3 story dorm building. Hop onto the trunk and crouch down and look around a little until it says, "search." Always has a nade or 5 inside. Have gotten multiple F1 nades from it in one go.

>>386940591
That sucks, was kind of hoping this might have been more akin to Stalker than PUBG, not a fan of pvp.

>Damage buff

It's a gameplay element. Lose a limb, have a chance to outright die. Levelling up vitality reduces this chance. Repeated shots to the dead limb increase the chance with every shot. Think of it as the limb going into "minus" health.

>have tons of cool gear in stash (VAL, two kitted m4s, two kitted AKs, a dovetail'd SKS, 3 helmets, and enough chains for Fort armor)
>don't use any of it because I'm too scared to lose a helmet
5 filters is way too many. I've gotten 6 fucking geiger counters and only 1 filter. Wish more scavs had helmets.

>>386944364
So where do you find keys exactly? Random loot spots? I know one of the traders sell a few.

>>386944401
Interesting. I like how the damage works in this game.

It seems like sprinting is almost never a good idea because of how insane the sound carry is. Should you only sprint if your steps can be covered by gunfire or weather? I've been working a lot so my game time is really low despite being in one of the earlier beta waves.

>>386944543
Same, the anxiety over losing good shit is such a deterrent to using it. It's weird because better gear means higher chance of not dying but theres always a chance of being flanked by some dude with AP rounds and tearing you apart, then again like DDG said "you're gonna lose it eventually anyway"

>>386944169
>>Good way to get yourself killed, senpai.
Nah I usually sit pretty far away in factory, using the high up spots that people never look at to get some shots off. Only issue are AI scavs who actually see me but they drop in one round. Once I leave that and go into close quarters I load the buckshot.

I have thought of loading slug-buck-slug-buck into it but I'm not sure that would be very reliable in terms of output.

>>386944364
I went to the checkpoint once. Literally nothing but some shitty low-grade ammo there. Very disappointing, considering I had to drop two AI scav snipers to get there.

>>386944554
If you're running around at max speed, you might as well be sprinting. The sound difference is minimal. Most of the time you should be sneaky beaky instead, though. Always sprint while using a melee weapon, and always sprint when you're nearing the exit and know for sure there are no more AI scavs around.

>>386944554
Checkpoint key has a specific spot it spawns (in one of the post-checkpoint warehouses on a couch next to the dead scav laying on it), but all the others you can find from filing cabinets. Scavs sometimes drop keys too.

>>386944627
Yeah for sure. Honestly, I wouldn't mind since all that shit is so replacable besides the VAL. It's just helmets man. To not stress about losing a 50k ruble AK, I need a helmet to not get one tapped by some cheeki breeki or lucky player, but helmets ARE SO FUCKING HARD TO GET REEEEE.

>>386944705
It's random loot my man. Sometimes you'll check a weapon spawn and nothings there, other times you can find some really good shit (like the table at gas station extraction can very rarely spawn VALs).

To people that are actually playing the game, is the game worth the 40 bucks?

This, play it like you are in postapoc Italy: trust nobody, not even yourself. Ally with the guy who wiggles, use him to take down some scavs or players without risking your own shit, then shoot him in the back and take everything.

If you have it insured just have them chuck it into a bush or water so you get it back via insurance. Carrying it and giving it to you next raid is fine too but it's usually not feasible to carry the full equipment of one guy.
