Another Confession

In addition to "Ivan", the SA-58 FAL I received yesterday, I have two other FALs.  Yes, I, the level 5 noob,  have three FALs taking up 34 cells in my inventory that could be used for something useful. 

I am gripped with Gear Fear. I know I suck. If I take one of those into a raid, I'll be killed and will never see the weapon again. That's one advantage of the SKS, no one takes it, so it comes back with insurance.

I should just sell them. They would pay for a lot of load-outs.  Though, I'm not sure I can sell "Ivan". And one of the others I built myself from scratch - paying top ruble to Fence for every piece.  Seems lame to sell it for less than I paid to make it.

I have taken them out on offline raids to try them out.  Wow! If you want a weapon that'll punch holes in the sky and cause the firmament to crumble, the SA-58 is it.  But if you want to hit something a little lower or a little smaller, it might not be the best choice. Great weapon if you can aim well enough to one-tap.  Not sure if it's a good match for me.


Since I'm at it, I will confess that I also bought a Vepr Hunter from Fence. Paid 80K. Nearly triple what I would pay if I could access the flea market. Thanks Tarkov. And it only has one 5 round magazine and I can't buy more. So, it's going to rot in my stash too.  Not my smartest play.

Field of Fire of Emplaced Weapons at Lighthouse USEC Base, for BEARS

On the new Lighthouse map, the USEC rogues are very aggressive against BEARS and will sight on you out to 300 meters or more, and will fire on you far quicker than they will on a USEC PMC.  The fixed guns are particularly dangerous as they can kill you with a single hit when you might not even realize you are close to the base. I made a map with some fields of fire noted on it. There are two mounted machine guns on building 1 , two mounted machine guns and a grenade launcher on building 2 , and a single machine gun on building 3 .  Plus there is a mounted machine gun and grenade launcher on the southwest corner of the base (lower right on this map).  I have noted the general field of fire of each of these weapons on the map. Obviously, there is a lot of cover, so just because you are standing in a red zone on this map doesn't necessarily mean you can be seen and hit. BUT, if there is any sort of line of sight (including through trees, bushes, walls and vehicles) and you a...

Prapor Is Unwell

 Got a message from Prapor, he's giving me a "boost" (his word, not mine). And he sent over an AK-74, an AK-101 and a god-damned Kel-Tec RFB assault rifle! This can't be no strings attached, but he didn't ask for any favors. I was sure he was going to ask me to go kill Jaeger or Putin or something. Instead, he says "everybody calls me Prapor, let's get acquainted."  Like he want us to go out to a movie or dancing?  Introducing himself _again_ plus being overly generous - something is definitely wrong with him. Dementia. He probably had a stroke.  He sent over a SKS-OP too. Something I can put a sight on. I'll take that out next.  I'll set the others aside in case he asks for them back or tries to call in a favor I can't return (e.g. dancing).

Update: Killing Time instead of Scavs

Destination Woods Goals survive kill scavs (approx 10 more to finish quest) locate convoy and usec camp (if convenient) Progress: Interminable Grind Raid 26 - Boring Loadout: VPO-206 with .366 TKM FMJ and variable dot/scope sight, extra magazines, rig, sling, ears, class 3 armor. 3001 rubles for car extract.  Water and Medkit in pouch.  Insurance: 0K (previous insurance).  Most of my recent Woods raids have been in the morning, but this one was in the early evening. Spawned near spine, which I didn't realize was an option.  Don't really have a plan for this spawn. Exfil is at Outskirts, so maybe just go to Scav house and see if I can ring up better numbers than I have so far.  Headed out, but shortly after encountered another player.  Not sure if he saw me and hid. He passed. But once I started moving again, heard him coming up again behind me.  Turned, crossed a ridge. Put some distance between us.  Tromped through woods. Lost.  Used the sun...
