Claymores and customs sounds like pain.... You have to cross one of three avenues, and half the map spawns at your extract. It promotes moving slower, but everything in the game put you on a crunch.

BSG "We want to get rid of campers and support more active fighting" Also BSG "coming soon, TRAPS"... like what in the counter intuitive...

I was thinking they could add options for your next raid in map to map travel. Like you could have the option to "wait for rumours of [boss]" which gives the boss 100% spawn rate. Or like "wait until its quiet" where the raid has less PMCs or even no PMCs, bad loot, but ideal for tasking

what made me realize just now is how SHIT bsg is at giving info on the changes, they literally will just say "armor plate hitboxes are now bigger" in the patch changes, and gigabeef or airwingmarine will be expected by the community to go and test just how big they became, bsg can't just post a wireframe blender model or something to see how big the hitboxes are now vs before. it's so frustrating

Cant wait for stankrat to setup mines in D2

I still think the best way to "fix" the armor system is to add vital organ hitboxes. It just doesn't make sense to have this complicated armor system while leaving the health system simplistic. There is a reason why armor plates are designed like that in real life you know, it's to protect your vital organs.

Mines are a difficult subject in Tarkov for me. I see most real life implementations of mines as completely irrelevant to a shooter of this genre. Mine usage in warfare is strategic, for the most part. Large armed forces use them to not "sneakily assasinate" enemy combatants, they are used to make use of a particular area so dangerous and clearing the danger so troublesome so as to nullify that areas use as a combat zone and practically removing a flank from the map. While the Russian military uses mines HEAVILY, it does so exceedingly on the strategic level. Smaller formations might protect their rear with temporary AT mines while rearming/in a protective formation, but again: these mines are almost never fully concealed with effort, as concealing mines under concrete is a lot of work, and most mines regular troops have access to wont detonate without pressure being directly applied to the mine trigger). Again, these mines are always anti-vehicle, used as a deterrant/surprise roadblock, and aren't relied upon to destroy the enemy. Anti-infantry mines aren't relevant on a tactical level. In a video game, where fidelity isn't high enough for us to both devise and differentiate man made traps in the digital environment, they act as little more than invisible explosive nuisances, with no rewarding tactical use and counter-play that feels sensible. In real life you can easily spot mines in an urban environment, and for most purposes passive mines will be indicated with tape/spray paint/cones once spotted, because no matter which side you are on: marking mines doesn't make them less effective at their job. Nobody can use that area. Active mines (claymores specifically) are more of an insurgency and counter-counter-intelligence tool, and are useful at taking out/severely slowing down UNITS of infantry that you KNOW will be passing by along a route you have reconnoitered. With how Tarkov raids operate, there is far too much randomness and much too little linear story-telling and intelligence gathering to justify the planned use of claymores. Your PMC wouldn't have a situation in which they load up for a raid to get supplies, and "for tactical reasons" sets up a Claymore while wandering around the city. You might have multiple set up in well thought-out spots around your hideout, in places which you could still access once your first alarms go off. In raid? Irrelevant, with how quick and balls to the wall gameplay is. TLDR mines and even actively monitored claymores are strategic warfare tools, and even when used on the tactical level, would only makes sense as part of days long operations, not 15-45 minute urban excurcions. Hell, just disguising your claymore and its tripwire/trigger cord would take you half the time of your average raid. Then you'd sit in a bush for two days waiting for your prey, which you would have had to have prior intelligence about. Rural foot-patrol recconnaisance nerd signing off. Sorry for the rant. E: setting up actively monitored claymores or planting passive AT mines could be done as tasks, however, even if their usage as a PVP implement is beyond stupid as an idea. This could have been done ages ago with how the [S] items work in-game already, so it's not something BSG needed new trap mechanics for.

You're my Tarkov rock. I can always count on you to inform me and help me catch up on the things I've missed. I really appreciate all the time you put into these videos. They're the best.

I don't know why they would bother with realism at this point. The game couldn't be less realistic.

No Mr Beef, I don't want the full rundown from all those other guys, I want your chill takes and background music 😊

I do like with how they're changing player scavs to load into random areas with low karma basically enforces the idea of learning the maps to succeed, but I believe the scav karma needed to be able to choose your location should be 4, not 6 since some people won't go so far to max out karma whereas something around 3 or 4 karma can be obtained naturally as you play. And they should at least include a list where you can omit 2 locations that you don't want to be spawned in in the event that your pc just can't run streets or lighthouse all too well. As for mines, I think they'll limit it to where you can only have one mine in your pmc inventory at a time and it takes up a good amount of space. Player set landmines are a bit stupid but forcing a limit in your inventory and having it take up a ton of space may make it not an attractive thing for campers to set up.

Getting one tap thoraxed by scavs using 762x39 hp or 5.45 ps is just so unfun and honestly makes me avoid scavs in certain wooded areas where they will shoot straight through bushes and stuff , if it was head ,eyes or something I would get it but a lot of the time if feels like armor is usless . Even my friends have been one tapped by m856 , thorax from pmcs . I hope the revised armor update improves over all combat

trader flipping isnt a bad thing, it actually allows me to buy items that are never on the market

Rebalance 7.62. Mutant looks too sexy to be a joke to the MDR

Would be better if they added organs and blood and kept the armor system as is

Honestly, I would trade all of this for getting rid of the 5 minute black screen after I die or extract.

*sitting in bushes for too long AT EXTRACT, he said. That's very different ;)

i started this wipe, a month or so ago. I've tanked 10 shots from a scav using a thor and was one hit by flechette wearing an osprey and maska because one pellet hit my armpit. armor feels absolutely useless.

The instant that Nikita started feeling threatened with all these new games coming out was when we started getting all these QoL features... Ones we should have gotten years ago. God damn pathetic.

I honestly think a complete medical and health system overhaul that makes it like Gray Zone Warfare would make stuff overall a little nicer, Gray Zone does currently have some issues with it and are actively being worked on and I have very little hope that BSG could pull off doing what they did regarding that system but would be a welcome surprise if it ever did/does happen

Map to Map travel has huge potential, if implemented well. It would for example allow you to have many, many extraction zones but only a few leading back the the hideout. That would mean, that extract camping becomes much less powerful, since there are many more exits PMCs could take from the map. Then they wouldn't need stupid PMC karma that seems to be a system shoehorned in to push a more active play style, since camping is now the only totally silent method of fighting. In total, BSG doesn't really seem to understand their own systems. Armor plates covering nearly the entire thorax reduces the issue with the armor system, but instead of having a good armor you now just want a good plate - and you still have major problems if they don't cover the entire thorax front since now bullets that barely clip you are lethal while full hits don't pen.

Honestly if they want to fix the bought from trader flipping if it does turn out to be such an issue, add a bought from trader status on a purchased item that only goes away after entering a raid with it, so it can’t be flipped and even if someone else kills the person who has it, they’ll be able to sell it like any other raid obtained item.

I'm hoping that BSG chooses to add mines that aren't instantly lethal, like toe poppers, or just nerf their effect so that they black limbs but don't instantly kill, sorta like the border mines. It'd be less toxic and give some amount of counter play. I'd also just like to see sound traps, something you can deploy that causes anyone to walk through that area to make noise, whether it's broken glass you can spread somewhere or a motion sensor alarm. Sound traps like that would fit way better and could be more common

I like the variable zoom for the LPVOs because it gives it more versatility, while also debuffing it. You can't just instantly flick back to 1x, it's going to take time to zoom in or out.

Nah. They say they want realism and then they make changes like this to armour hitboxes???? A game like tarkov needs actual plates that cover only the area of the plate.

I think they already did make Solo Queues locally hosted. I had trouble playing PvE before TarkovTV, to a point where I wasn't playing it, and pretty much immediately after Tarkvo TV, I started reliably matching in under 10 seconds in solo and Coop on Ground Zero, and in under a minute on Woods.

i like the scav map change, because it makes more dynamic :) because atm every scav plays streets, lighthouse

8:16 I'm anxious whether it will lower the performance significantly (like SPT) or they will somehow manage to optimize it. My most memorable experience from playing SPT last year was constant drop of frames whenever something spawned on the map or AI made a move. Tarkov hosted locally on PC was so rough performance-wise that I sadly had to give up on playing it.

when do you think the marathon event will happen?

btw the smooth zoom- would work only with scopes that do that. eg. Elcan Spectre only has 1x and 4x in real life. but its smooth im guessing is you will actually see the glass casing flick into the scope, not an instant zoom. Vudu will be able to go from 1-6x and everything inbetween

I don't like the mines thing at all and especially the mount mechanic on walls as it incentivise people to camp even more. I love the tactical gameplay but camping for better recoil is too much. Crouching and proning already reduces your recoil

Excluding maps that you deem you can't run can be easily abused by excluding all maps except for the map that you WANT to run. If that system was implemented, you should only be able to exclude Streets and LH IMO.

I like the idea of scavs having a random map pool instead of hand picking it, but they could make a map ban system that scaled with fence rep. Start with a base of 2 bans so you can remove streets and lighthouse if you want to, then gain additional bans at fence rep milestones until you can ban all but one map at max rep.

Question regarding scaving. Did BSG specifically say you would need MAX scav karma to choose the map you scav on? I had heard it was just "high/higher" scav karma to choose your map. Like maybe at 2.0 scav rep you could choose or something like that, just as an example

Reselling trader items gives a big bonus to a lot of people who can't make money or who need some quick cash, plus it's helpful for people doing gunsmith who might not be able to do the parts barters. More stuff on the flea makes it cheaper.

I remember when the slick and the hex were actually viable options for armor, I'm glad they changed it but it can be annoying when you die to an armpit or neck shot. Tagilla has become easier to fight though.

Im really exited for the mannequins! Now i can finally put all the kits that i deem “too good” and dont use the whole wipe on the mannequins as a display!

We all know were just gonna dress up the mannequins in cool gear and never touch it again

The scav map thing is probably designed to keep the majority of them AWAY from Streets and Lighthouse

what if for map to map travel you got a exp bonus for every map u get past without dyeing . and after each map you can choose to go back to stash or go to the next map . but if you die you lose all the exp bonus . and you get all the exp from all the maps when you go back to stash .

Flipping things is why I believe we should move away from the found in raid system and move to an earned in raid system if you extract with stuff it will be marked earned and can be turned into traders for quests, anything in your secure will be marked earned if you die(so you can still sell on flea) but stuff bought from traders can’t be resold onto the market they will get the bought tag, they can only be sold on the flea if someone were to go into raid, die and someone else pick it up, it does not get marked earned if brought out by teammates. This way you can sell stuff that you got from killing pmcs but it prevents people from instantly flipping stuff, also this could prevent rmt a little bit idk though.

I really just want to be able to trust that the raids are fair. Better servers and anticheat are the two things I look for with every patch, and it never comes

I'm all for the mines, tripwires and mortars as long as they are implemented properly. Not sure about scav maps though.

I'd love to have the Power button for generator ON/OFF, available onscreen without having to open hideout. It eats performance as much as bouncing from map to map without clearing cache. This would be a handy QoL feature.

SPEAR 6.7 vs SA-58 Comparison When? I still believe that regardless of the recoil and accuracy the SA-58 is a better pick than the SPEAR for a multitude of reasons, which I have stated in previous comments.

11:28 And hopefully be released on a delay, last thing you want is a guy you killed telling his buddy your exact location from the killcam

get flea back FIR but make all non-barter items become FIR on PMC's once they reach the Extract Thresholds about grenades i have set my 8 9 and 0 keys to Release G, Hold G and Double Tap G for nade, smoke and flash nades, it works nicely if i don't get killed within first shots of an encounter

An idea for scav maps, if you have lower graphic mode enabled you cannot load into Streets or LH and if youre in a party a notice similar to the LABS ACCESS CARD REQUIRED but for alter lower graphic settings.

Reselling and flipping is not detrimental at all, it allows low level players to access stuff for much cheaper price from resellers compared to FIR only system prices and it also allows high level players to have some profit from it. Win-win situation if you ask me. FIR was a huge pain in the ass in earlier wipes for me personally and I just left last wipe at lvl 17.

I bet they have SPT installed on a machine, download the mods and just copy the modders code lol

Great, now you have to worry about traps and mines along with the usual extract campers.

Ngl, they should implement a system that tags your loot if you run as a hatchling and causes the loot to be unsellable on Flee

Id honestly like to see completely open flea market, maybe make some fees on high-tier items so that the price would be very inflated. I think being able to buy high-tier stuff at stupidly high prices would not be so bad and make it so that people who dont want to play 200h a wipe can also buy good gear.

for hatchlings they should just restrict it so you cant go in with nothing. make it so you can if youre flat broke in your stash or smth though.

hopfully the explosives are behind late Lightkepper quests and rlly expensive , even tho a tripewire is just wire and a grenade

I've red been wanting the tactical device key forever I hate having to take off my laser turn on light put laser back on just to have laser and light on separately

Mines sound like the exact anti-gameplay. It will feel awful to die from a mine. And you as player won't even know the mine you placed killed someone.

I can't wait to disable claymores and tripwires in SPT

the kill cam could lessen the amount of reports that they dont look at any way

if hatchling runners are an issue maybe your not for resell idea could fix it by just applying it to anyone entering the raid flaged and cursed

I dont think armor is problem and the hitboxes of plates. i think issue is with mostly scav Accuracy and how they shoot.. i did some test and was walking altyn/rys of vulkan and crappy vest like cpc with not much cover.. scav almost none of times shoot me in the head..its like they system know 'i have sp ammo cannot penetrate lvl5/lvl6' so scav was waiting I show my chest and usually start shooting in that area of throat, armpit. Also it is retarded scavs target armpit if you are in front of them its like bullets make turn in Wanted movie.. There are ofc things like bosses which beaming abilites are more retarded.. Birdeye always aim for top of the head...(i got like 6 straight concussions in a row during event) I noticed killa always beams your chest.. and having him most of times igolnik shreds your armor even with lvl6. so Yea until they implement some kind of recoil to scavs and boses, so shots will be more random than just beaming abilities to weakspots.

The solo pve running on your machine only is good for queue times but a lot of people are forgetting to mention the fps that will be subtracted given that your computer is now the one loading all the bots behavior and actions. This is the #1 reason SPT mod has much lower fps than the live game.

Top feature: killcam. It's a reason why me and several friends stopped playing pvp version of the game. The replay system should be in game like this. I will said it again, the replay should be instant, it can land in your messages after server ends.

I'm more worried about magical PMC karma

i think it would be perfect if they would just take the old and new armor system combined. divide the thorax in 2 parts just in the middle. front and back. if you have plates it works like soft armor covering the whole area. no armpit. you could do 4 parts and add side plates that cover everything on the side (armpit too!) but thats optional. then just keep the softarmor for throat, arms and balls, adjust thorax and back to match with plate boxes and you are done. full cover of thorax and back with plates and softarmor so no armpit BS or kedr bois 2 shotting you through your zabralo in the thorax, no worries about running sideways or anything. atm i am using a lot of .366 AP because its insanely effective against any armor. or .338 even the cheaper rounds

They should have done what the old as game did with the mounting, rising storm all you do is go to a ledge when adsing and you get a small buff to aiming and recoil but without being locked to the spot the fact they are making it togle is aids...

Imagine still playing Tarkov at this state

How much are they going to charge for this feature, oh sorry i mean update?

7:00 NO WAY really?? Ive been asking this for so long. Even better would be keybinding tactical devices to turn each specific device on/off with the press of a designated keybind

I know saying this is like manic levels of protagonism, but some time ago I made a very long and detailed reddit post in the eft reddit about changes I wish would come to tarkov and why, and between the last 2 wipes and this next one they are basically introducing them all 1 by 1. As i said I know its manic protagonism to think this, but I feel like somebody at bsg read my long ass post and maybe, just maybe gave a small nudge into the "right"(for me) direction. I love it

These are some great changes

7:00 the best granade ever seen

No FIR requirement for flea is stupid imo. There was sense before, that you have to survive to being able to sell it to other people, if you don't - you are just can use this item for yourself or sell it to traders.

as long as the traps are rare like impact grenades are id be fine with it.

Game's getting REALLY good lately!

Hopefully the mannequins dont have the same prison wallet issue that presets did

The people who suggested scavs not getting to choose maps are more than likely the people who avoid playing scav like the plague. Some people for one reason or another hate that people can play as scavs lol..

I dont think flipping from traders is an issue, it essentially lets lower level players compete against higher level players at a markup from those higher level players.

I really wish they didn't change the armor system at all, It's great, they just need to change the health system so the smaller rigs have a reason to exist. Something like what GZW has would be nice.

We shouldn't be able to buy items from traders and list them on the flee. As it stands now, we can do that. So, the rules about what can be put up on the flee still need a bit of a tweek.

bro he should just keep the plates the same maybe tweak it a lil and just change the health system, shit has been wack for years

Be a far better game if they removed insurance and stims. Also get rid of scav as a seperate entity… choose bear, usec or scav to begin with

With how bad net code is why would you ever use bracing or bipods. It’s dangerous enough standing still for a split second and not getting head eyesed. No one is going to use that feature.

It always seems like no matter what armor I use Scavs and Raiders/bosses always hit an area where I'm not covered with every shot. For example, Kollontay killed me the other day with multiple shots to my RIGHT FOREARM with a 9x18 weapon. There's a pattern here. 9/10 we are being shot where we don't have armor, like the AI is detecting that, and it's incredibly stupid.

My buddy just got EFT standard edition but has a lower end PC the i5 10,400 f and the 1660 GPU. What are going to be things we need to do to make sure he can play without as much trouble as we can save him. I want him to be able to play with me I just really hope I didn't call him into buying a game he can... Thanks in advance.

was told for YEARS that pmc karma wasnt coming everyone told me i was stupid and it wouldnt ever happen but here we are

I think they should stick to high visibility mines, rare, claymores maybe, found in raid or Lightkeeper only

Kill cam would be broken cuz you can just call your teammate where he is

Unless claymores and other traps are rare to obtain, or hard to obtain, it’ll be THE most aids feature. Any high tier area will just be riddled with traps throughout doorways/bottleneck ways. Imagine also trying to disarm a trap, with a long animation, whoever is camping the other side will have enough time to kill you, lmao. I just don’t see how this feature will work unless it’s utterly rare and costly, like grenade launchers. Just sounds annoying to deal with.

Soooo Its SP tarkov In a nutshell

The problem with PVE now is that you have a high rate to be teamkilled at the start if you invite people, thy should add a thing to punish in game those people

on fle market its easyer to get keys.. use the quest keys and sell them... and the same marked keys 1 use go up

I like current armour system. It’s fair that you have only a chance to survive a shot, not a full thorax protection. Maybe just buff heavy armour to level 4 and tweak scav ai to shoot mostly in the plates. But I really love how pvp and rounds balance feels

If you see this and can tell Nikitia, to stop the arbitrage: put a cap on the prices to the same prices as what the traders sell for. That way people can stop buying the traders and selling for higher

I would perfer found in raid for flea and non find for tasks

Bro the armor update was already in arena breakout for years now

Flipping is fine. Enforces market equilibrium, and requires that trader prices be reasonable, and provides good market liquidity.

armor update shouldn't even be a thing. Should've just added a vitals hitbox that gets covered by the plates. it's just rubber banding back and forth between armor being useless and early wipe ammo being useless at this point

Hopefully now the leading cause of death wont be blunt damage.
