Escape from Tarkov

[Phobia]

So I had an interesting scav run this morning. I spawn on the coast of shoreline and decided to hit coastal village for Tool Set parts so I can complete a mission. I was just poking around slow when I see a player sprinting. Popped a few shots just hoping for luck, but then he decided to look back at where the shot came from and he ate a head shot (He had no helmet).

So I wasn't sure if I dropped him so I scouted around the area then went looking for his body after I was certain he wasn't camping a bush. This is where I found out, I landed a killing headshot.

I spend a few min looting him and determining what I wanted then I decided his SA-58 was a big enough score for me to get out of this round. I make my way down the path maybe 200 yards when I spot another geared player, I sight in with my new SA-58 and put a round through his chest. This guy just so happened to be running gen3 armor with all this gear. Big mistake.

High end run for a lowly scav, over 400k just in guns/over 500k total haul.

Almost had the 4 man team wipe. Ended up putting 3 away and the 3rd clipped me in the leg and couldn't sprint behind cover. Val just dumps rounds so fast, if you don't down someone and have to reload your in a bind.

My buddies and I ran into two heavily armed guys at the resort. We were scavs, they were PMCs. All I had was a saiga 9, but in the first exchange I killed one guy. My two buddies died, one to gunfire, one to a grenade that hurt me bigly. I healed up, walked back up the hill to the fence and he shot at me once, then threw a nade. I went prone and acted dead. Sure enough he came stomping around after a minute or two and walked right into my view. I panned over and was able to headshot him with the saiga 9.

Unfortunately I was bleeding from nearly every part of my body and wasn't gonna make it without meds. Those guys didn't have any in their packs or rigs, probably only in their containers, so I grabbed as much loot of theirs I could, walked into the middle of the resort and dumped two mags from the M4 trying to draw attention before I fell over dead.

While we all died, it was very rewarding to take out two heavily armed guys with only a saiga 9. I imagine where I dropped dead and with the noise I made they lost their stuff. They had USEC armor, nice helmets, sordins, each had an M4 and something else very nice. And they both died because neither put their face shield down on their helmets.

Other than that death, pretty much every run I've down the last couple days, scav or PMC, has been a success and gotten me out alive. I'm up to about 2 million now and have plenty of cases and guns. One of my last scav runs got me fuel conditioner.m, a bitcoin, and a few other things and I netted a pretty penny despite not having a backpack.

Just to give a glimpse of how good the runs have been lately, I had 1.6m in the bank, but had plenty of gunsmiths to do, had graphics cards to buy, had maybe 3 guns in my stash, stock, and had a couple of cases. My stash was worth 10-11m. Now I have over 20 guns, most modded out, I have 2 meds cases, an items case, a scav junkbox, the food case, a magazine case, and a few other things, my stash is worth 20m and I have nearly 2m in roubles just sitting there now because I don't have any quests needing me to spend money. I've got 3 or 4 M4s, 3 or 4 ADARs, all customized, I've got 5 AK variants, customized, an SVD, MP7, and a bunch of other guns.

Tarkov has been very good to me lately which means I'm probably due a night or two of dying almost every raid. I even got lucky enough that practically every scav I had until my last one to end last night had a berkut. And on what was I believe our last PMC run of last night, we went woods to get my friend the letter for Jaeger. I went in with a cheap kit, the 68 helmet, the class 3 armored rig, only an MBSS, and a sawn off silenced mosin for the heck of it. I left with a scav backpack, I forget what rig, 2 SKS and an AK in the backpack along with I believe a FAL on my back, plus a few other goodies. What started as us just wanting to get him his letter and get out ended up with me making 200-300k in roubles.

I'd like to think I've gotten a lot more comfortable in the maps and with the gunfights and that has played a role. My survival rate pre-pistol kill quest was around 45% it dipped to around 30% trying to run factory for those pistol kills. Since beating it my survival rate has almost skyrocketed past 50% and I'm also getting more PMC kills than before to go along with it. My KD has risen to over 5.0, which that comes with not dying much lately, but my XP from kills used to not be too far above looting, but it has up and left it at this point.

Oh, and on one PMC run last night we ran into a guy with Killa armor and a very nice helmet I forget the name of. It's a tan something that had 110 armor points. The dummy didn't have his face shield down and my ADAR ended him quickly. He ended up having over 1.2m roubles worth of loot on him that my buddy and I split. He had like 6 dog tags on him, 2 P90s, another Killa armor and helmet in his pack and quite a bit more. I think he figured he was safe sprinting out of the dorms, but he learned pretty quick he was not. Sort of bad luck for him. We weren't going into the dorms, just passing by through the trees, but he ran right near us and I took the shot at the open face. Poor guy didn't know what hit him.

Yea funny how that works huh, I'm in the same boat. Putting in mad hours and learning the combat, loot mechanics, and other odds & ends has brought my survival rate into the 40% range. I've going through the same dip that you mentioned because I've been running factory trying to get my pistol kills. Go figure I get one the other night but with my scav.

That's awesome though, new patch dropped today too. 12.2, bring new weapons and gear evidently.

Can I get a knife sharpener please!!!! LOL

[canes21]

Lol, that's rough. Gotta stab the face or neck if you can.

I bit on this, I've done about main missions and about 4 scav missions. I've probably survived 15 mins total. Basically have two pistols left on my main character and wondering what happens when I have no guns left.

Also, not sure how to find an extraction point even if I survived more than 10 mins
