Update: The Quiet Earth - Made Level 7

Embarking to Woods

Goals

  • Survive
  • Kill Scavs ( 7 more to complete quest )
  • Find USEC camp and Convoy, if convenient

Raid 29

Loadout: VPO-136 with two 10-round magazines of BP, and three of PS. Extra PS rounds. Two grenades. Class 5 armored Rig, meds, ears, 3001 Rubles for extract, food. No backpack. Water and Car med-kit in pouch.  
Insurance: 0 - (previously insured)

Spawned on west side, near construction equipment and USEC checkpoint. First headed south along wall to Scav house  - when I play offline scavs often spawn along this wall, so maybe I'll find some. But nothing. No one at Scav house either. This isn't a safe place to hang out, because players who want to snipe scavs will be looking exactly where I'm standing. Allright, let's head up to USEC and Convoy and then Scav Bunker.   As I walked north, heard fighting dead ahead  - probably at Scav bunker.   Arrived at USEC - it's already been looted. Grabbed a bit of garbage and headed over to convoy. Also looted. It's been quiet at Scav Bunker - so either a player who is as bad as me lost the fight, or, more likely, all the scavs there are dead.  My exfil is Car extract or Northern UN Roadblock, so let's bear that way. Went to abandoned village - no one. Onwards to village. No one. 

I walked around and around the village - both darting to cover and just walking up and down the street - but no scavs spawned.  Looted. Maybe should have brought a backpack. I kept roaming the village, waiting, hoping a scav would spawn. But none did.  Took car extract.   Did not see a single player or scav the whole raid.  And barely heard activity anywhere. 

Time In Raid: 32 minutes 44 seconds.
Exp: 622 --  this and the 2000 exp for completing the Search quest push me to Level 7.

Mistakes

  • forgot to eat and drink. (did not matter, but if a firefight had started up late, that might have been an issue)
  • no backpack ? (not sure this is a mistake - I can usually just take a pre-filled one from a body. I still got a fair bit of loot, though)

Successes

  • Completed Search Quest, which makes good use of the otherwise empty map.
  • Level 7

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...

Sucks to Be a Beginner

Tarkov is brutal, and it's especially brutal to beginners.    In the game you have some amount of money, which you can choose to spend on weaponry, ammunition, body armor, medicine. But as a beginner, even if you have money, your access to these things is extremely limited.  Many a levelled player will sagely intone to us noobs "It's not the gun, it's the ammunition."   "I never use anything less than M80."    Really?  You don't say! ... and fuck you. The only M80 ammo I've ever got close to was buried in my stomach right before I died.  And don't get me started on the weapons.  Even if I find some M80 ammunition, what will I run it in? An SA-58 ? A Vepr Hunter?  I can't buy those. As a beginner, what are my options? Besides a couple pistols, there are five that I can buy with cash:  Kedr PP-91 SMG, the Mosin bolt action rifle,  the SKS hunting rifle, the TOZ-106 shotgun, and the AKS-74U assault rifle.   Modding ...

Quest for Beta! Raid 115

I have a big announcement to share: I have decided to pursue acquiring secure container beta!!   Yes, I know that's not as impressive as acquiring kappa, or gamma, or epsilon, but I need to set realistic achievable goals.  I could just buy a beta container on the flea market, they were going for about 750K rubles last I checked. But I want to do this properly: barter trade with Peacekeeper. In exchange for a beta container Peacekeeper wants 3 Iridiums 2 Virtexes 3 Military Cables 1 Tank Battery That's a lot of military tech, which means I need to go where there are multiple military tech spawns, which means Reserve.  The rules for this quest is that I have to find each of those items in raid, but, for every PMC I kill (starting today) I will allow myself to reward myself by buying one of the items off the flea market.  Also, some of those items are craftable, and if I'm in a bind I'll allow myself to craft them, but only using 75% or more found-in-raid ingredien...
