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).

Punisher Part 1 and 2 - Raid 71 - 74 - Level 18

I need to kill five more scavs on Shoreline with an AKM to complete Punisher 1. Raid 71 - Quest Completed Loadout: I can buy HP from Jaeger again. Go figure. So I have an AKMSN with PSO scope, canted sight, and several mags of HP. One kill mag of PS/BP. I spawned in the village, close to the map edge. I set out immediately, encountering nobody in the village itself. Ascended to the bus station, which was empty. Listened for sounds above, but the resort was quiet. Made my way down to the power station.  I killed two scavs at the power station - but it was a struggle. Normally, the HP ammo just drops these guys, but today a) they had armor and b) the AKMSN was jumping all over the place. At one point I stopped and checked to make sure my SRVV muzzle brake and my foregrip were attached - I couldn't understand what was going on with the recoil.  The second scav messed me up badly. As he died I heard a third scav on the west side of the building - but I was in no position to fight ...
