The Bunker

While pursuing The Bunker Part 1, I killed a scav and he had picked up an assault rifle I had never seen before: an HK G36 5.56x45 .  His had a very short barrel - making it more like an SMG than an assault rifle. Seemed cool.

There was a hiccup. I was level 12 and didn't have access to the flea market. I couldn't buy magazines for this weapon. The only mag I had was the one I found it with.  But beggars cannot be choosers, so I kitted out with it and went back to Reserve to pursue The Bunker Part 2.

Right off spawn I encountered one of Gluhar's guards, he fired, I got off a quick spray, and then jumped down to one of the vehicle dugouts, breaking my leg. Healed my leg, evaded, repositioned, repacked my one sole magazine, and somehow managed to kill the guard. This in the first minutes of the raid. He had a Vityaz, but with no stock (?). I took it.

I picked up the black bishop, black pawn and white pawn entrances to the bunker without truly descending into it. Then I scooted overland to king and picked up that entrance. Then back out to white bishop and down. 

I walked down the ramp towards my last entrance. Before the ramps bottom, I sprinted and jumped across the opening to the tiny bit of shelter behind the far door frame.  "Enemy spotted!" and a bunch of shouting. The raiders started firing on me, but I was safe (barely) behind the door jamb. 

I  carefully right leaned the jamb. With difficulty I used both the G36 and the Vityaz to kill all three, plus a scav that wandered up. Picked up a real assault rifle, grenades, a much better rig,  and a good armor set from my victims. Dropped the G36 into the water.  I don't have a backpack, and don't much want one - planning to leave via manhole cover.

Went upstairs, scouted out the door - it seemed clear, but suddenly footsteps ran up. A player scav ran into the building - I cut him down. Sorry friend. Filled my rig with the goodies he had picked up. Scouted the way forward again - seems clear. I'll just run across towards King - and will duck inside if there is any trouble.  

I started running. A scav who had not been there seconds before shouted in my ear and killed me instantly.

One guard, three raiders, a scav and a player scav. That's a great raid.

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 ...

Raid 61 - Dumb Funny - Level 16

Practically nothing came back from insurance on my last two failed raids. I don't have any armorsets, but maybe I don't care. I just want to go to Reserve and see if I can kill some raiders.  I've been practicing keeping my weapon aimed at head height, instead of letting it slump down. This one little change makes a huge difference in my offline CQB fights against raiders.  Time to put this new skill to use.  Raid 61 Loadout: HK rifle that I've modded to have two sights: 4x Pilad scope and canted delta point dot sight, plus a flashlight.  Meds, ears, backpack, grenade. No armor. Spawned outside one of those vehicle bunkers on Reserve. I scooted out and began to move when I saw a wall where I was expecting barbed wire and realized that I didn't know where I was. Oh God - this is that far in the corner death trap spawn. Just then grenades began exploding. I hit the deck behind a bush, praying the grenade fire wouldn't get any closer.  Eventually the emplacement wa...
