Partisan

Boss Spawn 100%

There is an event going on where the odds of the bosses spawning on a map is now 100%.  I also landed a "Kill Sanitar 2 Times" Operational Task, so I set out to do that.

I didn't see Sanitar even once, but I had some great fights with Scavs and PMCs and possibly his nurses, so no complaints.  

While I didn't bag Sanitar, I did kill Partisan. Thought he was a scav, killed him from atop some rocks. This wipe Partisan and I have a co-dependent relationship. I kill him, he kills me.  We trade back and forth, though, honestly I don't see him very often.  Until now.  Apparently the guy can hold a grudge.

After killing Partisan I then encountered him in my next five raids.  He'd just appear out of nowhere and shoot me dead. I only had eyes on him two times, the other three he just killed me from nowhere. Awesome.

I have been avoiding the Streets map, because no frames per second. But I have a ton of quests backlogged for that map. I guess I'll be running it for no other reason than Partisan doesn't spawn there.


Streets

First raid: waited 5 minutes for Matching, got a disconnect mid-raid and that ended it.  

Second raid: waited 3 minutes for Matching, wandered around lost and confused for half the raid, stumbled into the Pinewood Hotel where I marked a vehicle, killed a PMC, and got absolutely mobbed by scavs. Died.  At the time of death I must have been getting maybe 4 frames a second. Game was nigh unplayable. 

Third raid: used the "Where am I?" feature on the Maps of https://tarkov-market.com/  to figure out where I was.  This really helped.  Wandered into the boundary sniper because I'm stupid. Died.

Fourth raid: Killed by boundary sniper. OMG How dumb am I?

Fifth raid: Got a disconnect. Was able to reconnect, except for my game was bugged out. I could reload magazines, but gun would point funny. Firing it righted it though. Couldn't pick up loot or interact with anything. Couldn't tab to gear or health, so couldn't pack magazines or consume the food I brought.  Dropped all priorities in favor of just extracting. Got cornered in a cul-de-sac with a gate I couldn't open ( because I can't interact with it ). But I lured a scav in and he opened the gate for me.  Extracted.  

Sixth raid: there will be no sixth raid. I'm done with Streets. 


I'm playing PVE - WHY do I need to wait for Matching ?  Why am I getting disconnects?  Frames?

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...
