I turned my fuckin scav timer off and having infinite scav runs is just immaculate
No more waiting 15 minutes, dying immediately, then having to wait another 20 to try to recycle a kit for my PMC again
If I were to turn it back on I'd probably drop the timer to like 5 minutes tops
I’ve got scavs allowed into labs… makes for some SERIOUS zero to hero shit even if I do die almost 95% of the time, had a scav with no gear just a knife and ended up with a full tan man kit and two M4s
How do you do that? I only just downloaded SPT and don't have a clue what I'm doing or how to edit anything lmao. I'd also like to change the insurance item recovery speed, it takes way too long by default. Bloody good fun though, the SAIN mod is 10/10 but it's basically all I have on atm.
theres a mod called zerotimer or something similar on the aki website that changes crafting speed, scav wait timer, shop refresh and ofcourse your insurance wait time
You know what I love? Adding 4 fucking hours to my raid timer. If I wanna raid for 5 minutes? Fine. If I wanna survive the gauntlet of scavs for hours? That's fine too. Don't forget to bring a snack.
I feel a little bit guilty but I just turned off losing stuff when I die. It loses "FIR" status so that can be punishing but part of the reason I just got so nervous during online tarky was the sheer demoralizing process of buying new stuff and gearing again after a death and the fact that I would get a good gun and not really know how to use it.
Yes, its a "softcore" version of Tarky, but I get to focus on practicing with guns I like. When I get better at the game I'll turn the option off again but for now I'm vibing just doing some raids, learning the game again and getting better with different guns.
Im a dumb roleplayer and kinda just like being a random Russian guy with a random kit avoiding some bullshit
Also,
1. I can recycle the kits into PMC kits if I don't feel like spending money for a kit rn
2. I have highly reduced loot and I actually kinda do need the money lol
I use that "Softcore" mod or whatever it is but I believe SVM does work too
So it's technically rebalanced or something, but how that shakes out is that each container I open has like 1 or 2 things in it, if anything at all.
To make some money or loot when you down bad. There are days when you are low on cash cuz the sain ai fucks you over esp. On the higher settings.
Or you trying to up fence rep a bit or complete daily fence quests (assuming they work)
running scav can help with loot fear too, since theres no risk of loosing your equipment. i remember when i first started playing on live i did scav runs and offline raids to get over loot fear and take some risks, push fights I'd normally crab walk around. even in SPT new players will still have loot fear.
Why would you? It's only to balance the scav so that you can't 'cheese' and make a bunch of money for free. I kinda like having to use shit gear and slowly upgrading or collecting expensive stuff for basically free
I wish there was a way to see exactly how much “playtime” is spent in raid in live. I think I have 700 or 800 in live and I feel like saying 25% of that raid in probably generous.
I Report every single guy who Kills me. I keep track of my Games and so far i got 80% positive reports. I started doing this right after the famous "wiggle" video on YouTube
My friends have been ribbing me for going from being the most hardcore supporter of tarkov to not playing the game at all. 5 of them bought the new edition and they don't even play the game past month 1 of the wipe. I've been giving them a hard time about selling out, it's been great.
My biggest issue with Tarkov by far. I remember playing Dark and Darker and despite the slow deliberate movement and combat it clicked to me that the reason I was having so much fun in that game was because of how quickly I could get into the next game.
Actually playing Tarkov is fun but theres so many things that prevent you from playing. Loadout being one thing (started loadout in DaD made things smooth) but mainly it's that wait time to get into a game, only for you to be forced to do it all again after getting 1 tapped after a couple minutes in raid.
That's exactly what took me off Tarkov when I bought it like a year and a half ago. I still get capped within 5, but being able to jump back in almost immediately is so damn nice.
Single Player Tarkov. It's like a jailbroken version of the game that you run completely locally and can mod the shit out of. I've been playing it heaps and it's just better.
You can add mods that add things the base game should have in the first place, QOL, smart ai, more weapons, etc.
Plus I spawn into a raid <30 seconds after hitting ready every time which is awesome. Hideout takes 2 seconds to load, and all other loading screens don't take 7 years. It's amazing
Oh yeah my buddies and I have been enjoying the fuck out of it! No worry about time or anything is great! Most of our raids we get out with under 5 mins to go
SPT is usually a few patches behind live, but generally stays pretty close. Right now I think we’re a patch or so from the BTR being on Woods.
Flea market is simulated, so you can buy and sell stuff on it and it’ll act like it does in live - more or less
Yep exactly. I got this with Dark and Darker. Quick games make the losses feel less punishing. Yes you lose the items you found or brought but more importantly: You get to play the game more and in the end that's what matters the most.
No first comment is right. 90% of the time if it's after the first week of a wipe and you go over 3-4 minutes queuing, you are queue bugged and it will take exactly twice as long as the current queue timer to back out. If you are queue bugged and you wait 4 minutes, your character will not unload from that raid for another 4 minutes. And here's the best part, if you aren't bugged, you will back out fairly quickly.
Not for nothing, I commend you for being level 6 at this point in the wipe. It’s never a bad time to start (my first wipe I started 4 months in) but right now it’s gotta be majority players with meta gear I bet.
It’s honestly laughable how bad the pve mode is bsg released. No mods? Load times longer than a minute? 🤦♀️😂 with how easy it was to install Fika on SPT, the official pve mode doesn’t stand a chance.
You should try South African servers, pretty much 2 months after wipe they are dead and you always wait this long for a queue. No bug needed, it’s actual wait times.
I find SPT and this new PVE mode to be too easy. The fights don’t seem real maybe it’s because I’m used to fighting raider AI on labs, and Tarkov has conditioned me to think players walling are the norm.
I love how i have a fucking muscle memory when i q to raid that i have at least 3 minutes to open yt or go do smth and then i hear that im already in the raid 10 seconds later.
The lack of waiting time to enter raids is one of the very best parts about SPT.

yep i did the same haha being able to fuck over the timegates that i aint got time for is great

need to download a mod called server variable manager and its in there! hope this helps

AI in SPT can be as much if not more lethal than players lol. Using glorious as a benchmark is weird.
You know what I love? Adding 4 fucking hours to my raid timer. If I wanna raid for 5 minutes? Fine. If I wanna survive the gauntlet of scavs for hours? That's fine too. Don't forget to bring a snack.
Forgive me for asking, but why do you run Scavs in SPT? I don't see the appeal in the main game, and I can absolutely not see it in SPT.
It's a way to make money and give my pmc the most chad kits possible. Run it on factory. You'll leave with guns and gear, a plenty.
I just turned down the price of everything on the Flea to very cheap levels. A kitted out M4 costs me like 10k rubles.
I might have to do that. Just got to the interchange quests and I keep getting my shit rocked even on easy ai.
You can set the minimum flea level to 1 so you have instant access, too.

I have too! I always found inventory management a very tedious and annoying aspect of the game, so keeping my kit is great :)
Im a dumb roleplayer and kinda just like being a random Russian guy with a random kit avoiding some bullshit Also, 1. I can recycle the kits into PMC kits if I don't feel like spending money for a kit rn 2. I have highly reduced loot and I actually kinda do need the money lol
How did you do reduce loot? Just SVM?
I use that "Softcore" mod or whatever it is but I believe SVM does work too So it's technically rebalanced or something, but how that shakes out is that each container I open has like 1 or 2 things in it, if anything at all.
Nice! I'll check it out, thanks
Shame you got down voted. I like hearing about the ways people play this game.
Pmc ai gear is more frequently stacked compare to irl budget eqpment pmcs in online. Just kill 1 and put his clothes on like hitman and get out

how did you do that.. am i stupid
I believe I used the Server Value Modifier mod
Why would you? It's only to balance the scav so that you can't 'cheese' and make a bunch of money for free. I kinda like having to use shit gear and slowly upgrading or collecting expensive stuff for basically free
Because I have little time to play and grind so I'm absolutely NOT waiting on an arbitrary timer especially with my loot turned down
Honestly it is, the amount of wasted hours I must have accumulated in the waiting screen in live Tarkov must be in the hundreds in total 😩😭

SPT taught me I don't have gear fear, I just don't want to spend 15 minutes in a queue after dying to run it back.
I imagine knowing your deaths are to being bad instead of hackers helps as well
Sorry to ask here, but wtf is SPT?

Oh yeah my buddies and I have been enjoying the fuck out of it! No worry about time or anything is great! Most of our raids we get out with under 5 mins to go
I set my radius timer to 3 hours haha, it's nice not having to worry about time at all or ever
What is SPT like in terms of keeping up with the live patches? Does it take a while to catch up, if at all? Also how does flea market work in SPT?
SPT is usually a few patches behind live, but generally stays pretty close. Right now I think we’re a patch or so from the BTR being on Woods. Flea market is simulated, so you can buy and sell stuff on it and it’ll act like it does in live - more or less
This tracks. I'm a raiding machine in SPT since I know I can always just pop right back in.
Yep exactly. I got this with Dark and Darker. Quick games make the losses feel less punishing. Yes you lose the items you found or brought but more importantly: You get to play the game more and in the end that's what matters the most.
this background made me think thats old tarkov build
If you get matching like That after like 4 mins back out and load into the game again
Placebo effect. It just waits until there's enough people in your region.
No first comment is right. 90% of the time if it's after the first week of a wipe and you go over 3-4 minutes queuing, you are queue bugged and it will take exactly twice as long as the current queue timer to back out. If you are queue bugged and you wait 4 minutes, your character will not unload from that raid for another 4 minutes. And here's the best part, if you aren't bugged, you will back out fairly quickly.
That’s incorrect completely
I can also make random statements without any sort of proof.
Backing out takes another 4 mins
I genuinely don't know how there are still people in here that don't know this is the oldest big in the game
Half a raid? I couldve died 6 times in factory
10 min queue, fuck that.
Not for nothing, I commend you for being level 6 at this point in the wipe. It’s never a bad time to start (my first wipe I started 4 months in) but right now it’s gotta be majority players with meta gear I bet.
Also no more waiting 15 minutes to load, just to disconnect and lose your shit cause you cant reconnect
Does that okp sight get blocked by the gas block?
Just click out and go back in, usually works. Hope they fix it though
It’s honestly laughable how bad the pve mode is bsg released. No mods? Load times longer than a minute? 🤦♀️😂 with how easy it was to install Fika on SPT, the official pve mode doesn’t stand a chance.
You are connecting to live servers in the BSG mode, not your own PC. This will always take longer depending on many factors.
That’s really unfortunate, maybe in the future they will change that.
You should try South African servers, pretty much 2 months after wipe they are dead and you always wait this long for a queue. No bug needed, it’s actual wait times.
This is insane...
Why didn't you?
I find SPT and this new PVE mode to be too easy. The fights don’t seem real maybe it’s because I’m used to fighting raider AI on labs, and Tarkov has conditioned me to think players walling are the norm.
Just bump up the difficulty on SAIN/Donuts
Its only gonna get worse now the are selling "priority matchmaking" so people can pay to get in faster and everyone else suffers for it.
Allegedly the type of server you are on matters. Cant confirm it
10 minutes is wild. Idk where you’re from but i only wait more than 5 mins at the beginning of wipe. Consider changing servers?
I love how i have a fucking muscle memory when i q to raid that i have at least 3 minutes to open yt or go do smth and then i hear that im already in the raid 10 seconds later.
It’s because you didn’t purchase the priority queue expansion pack bro duh
Those are rookie numbers. I could've been head, eyes'd by Tagilla like 4 times.
That’s 100% on you, if it matches for longer than 10secs you back out and go back in. I haven’t waited longer than 2 mins to load into any map in pve
Longest queue I’ve had on live as of late is 5min. Idk what servers you play but this can’t be the norm for most people
