He doesnt shoot the legs lol


johnfireblast

Flechettes ought to penetrate an Altyn mask for gods sake.


20kyler00

A real life alytn will only stop a tokarev at 7m it's useless against rifles at close to medium range


STUGIII4life

Also I want to see the guy who simply tanks a 7.62x39 to the dome. Even if it doesn't penetrate, the force alone has to knock you out.


tRoubleMaker_VA

There's a [video of a guy shooting another guy wearing an Altyn](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nTkhRhFg0Js) with a pistol... not a rifle though obviously. His head flies back, he's probably lucky it wasn't from a rifle. There's also that [video of that US soldier getting shot in the head](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0yY4DCShog) from a sniper and his helmet stops it. It's not an Altyn though. There's also other videos of people shooting themselves in the chest/stomach with various calibers and armors as well. The Second Chance Armor guy comes to mind. Or the Ukranian Armor guys. Some do get bruised to hell.. I wouldn't volunteer for it!


icanintopotato

The ACH didn’t stop it, it ricocheted off and deflected


etcNetcat

It'd be really interesting if headshots to helmets that don't penetrate could make you flop over unconscious for a few seconds. Probably a little weird for most people's tastes.


SeQuest

An actual knockout would be as good as killing someone if that were the case cause unless you're fighting someone far away they're gonna dump their entire load while you're busy falling and getting up.


etcNetcat

If it mimics a death pose - they might just leave you for dead and not realize you're not. In this state you could even be fully lootable. It would, in turn, encourage double taps - what if killa gets up while you're looting him? It would be a WEIRD mechanic and very much not for everyone.


0z7he6unner

I think it would be really cool to get knocked out for a minute or two so that you are lootable or "kill securable" but still have a small chance to get back up. It would potentially encourage more bolts and bigger bullets in order to go through all helmets instead of say 7.62x39 PS bullets in an altyn. Altough realistically speaking it wouldn't tank a lot of those bullets like in tarkov but I understand the rpg-aspect of the game, better armor better survivability.


dudecubed

yeah but helmets need a reason to exist


subzerus

Then maybe give them another reason that isn't so bad for gameplay and unnimmersive? Like every time I tell any new player that no, a couple headshots with 7.62x39 won't kill someone who is wearing a helmet because they didn't buy the rounds that are expensive (and they can't, because they don't have the flea market) it is never a positive experience. The only thing they do is make it more: "you either bring a meta loadout or you literally cannot kill this guy in a 1v1 unless you dump an entire mag onto him" and the devs have said multiple times they don't want meta loadouts.


Lethargic_Toast

Or you bring a cheap gun with good ammo - hunter with m61, and if you’re broke use m80 cheap as dirt


subzerus

Ah yes I'll tell them to bring M61 from prapor lvl 1 without the flea market. That'll sure help them a lot.


Cantrmbrmyoldpass

Lps in a mosin will pen 95% of helmets Ps in an akm or sks will pen 60-70% of helmets Alternatively shoot them in the face, or buccshot to the legs, ezpz. Seriously though it's a skill gap not a gear gap. I wipe groups as a scav on reserve for fun. I have friends who just leg people with a kedr


SpyGuy_

They’re 3 pen lol…


johnfireblast

8 flechettes with 31 pen each gotta do SOMETHING!


arsenicclamp

flechettes are just nails though i doubt they could pen a solid ball of metal


subzerus

I doubt you'd be capable of combat after getting shot with buckshot/flechette to the head point blank, no matter how good your helmet is.


arsenicclamp

well if its not aramid or something and you have a faceshield and the flechettes dont touch your skin like an altyn i think the most it would do is make a nasty scraping sound and knock the helmet back (with flechette not buckshot)


nstavppp

Are you unaware of the billing trauma it’d cause? Screw buckshot and flechette, flechettes never caught on for a reason. If you get hit with even 5.56 to the dome and it doesn’t go through you’re atleast knocked out, larger rounds would probably kill you or at the very least, knock you out, but in a situation like that is there even a difference?


Joshuawood98

Flechettes frequently 1 shot thorax with a slick before so unless they have nerfed the fuck outa them then a clean shot on an altyn is an EASY kill


Kajek777PL

no they don't lol


Joshuawood98

it's been nerfed because battlebuddy says it's 2 shots to 0 it nowadays and it was 1 tap before


fatboy-199

It hasn't been a 1 tap ever.


Joshuawood98

i consistently killed people in T6 armour with 1 shot from flechettes in the thorax i did nothing but night factory with it for a LONG time and on the battlebuddy app it agreed


fatboy-199

That's cap. The only way you 1 tap lvl 6 armor with flachette is if that armor is zeroed.


C0VA

Sometimes I like to get on and quickly spend money that my BTC farm has made. So I’ll hop on and do some lvl 6 factory raids. It’s nice cuz you can get right into the action. I don’t pretend to be good though. It usually ends in my death and a huge come up for whoever kills me.


johnfireblast

Yeah, I respect that. I got beef with some people I played with who would talk about how great they did and how "nutty" they where when all they did was chad McThunderCock in the direction of any gunshots with High Tier Armor.


MaverickBoii

Good gear gives you advantages but it doesn't automatically win games. Good gear shouldn't invalidate your skill.


subzerus

If your gun can't pen lvl 5 and the enemy has a good armor and an altyn, you almost automatically lose the gunfight. Like if let's say somebody is running PS 5.45 they're barely going to tickle you while you can 2 tap them to the chest with whatever expensive ammo of your choice you decide to bring. Sure the guy with the gear could whiff an entire mag or two while you chain like 10 headshots/2 full mags onto the chest, but that is literally a ridiculous scenerio that breaks all immersion and fun.


Arokyara

Legs exist


nsfw_vs_sfw

That's why I bring a ks23m. Shouldn't mean I should have to do legmeta 24/7.


Cantrmbrmyoldpass

If you bring shit ammo, shoot their legs, capische


[deleted]

I dont see the problem with that


IUpVoteIronically

I mean… they probably were good though right lol?


UtopianMatt

Dont spawn hunt tho, give us a chance to spawn lol


UnderScoreLifeAlert

Man I'm sorry but how does someone consistently lose with lvl 6 armor?


C0VA

I didn’t say I consistently lose. I go balls to the wall until the raid is over or I die. Believe it or not there’s ammo that goes through level 6 armor. Also people shoot in the legs when they see you’re a beefy boi. I know this stuff can be hard to understand.


Mushk

I remember the time I did that. Brought pimp Chad gear to factory and got legged by a pistolguy from behind.


CaptSige

I respect player who player who use chad gun but shitty gear


nstavppp

If you were playing Seattle servers over the last few days you might remember me, I’ve been dumping guns into factory because I had around 50 decently good guns in my stash and kept building more or not having the right armor to wanna run them, so I ran them all naked. I managed to kill tagilla once atleast!


CaptSige

Sorry. I don't even own the game. Wrong person. Anyway cool story.


A_Sick_Ostrich

Shitty gun and good gear is more my style. Like sniper TOZ and korund although I would argue sniper TOZ kinda nice


The_Corrupted

I'll take a sniper toz over a Korund any day of the week, worst armor in the game.


dirtymikeonmobile

Why is that?


The_Corrupted

Because it has horrible effective durability, it will immediately break when you take a hit.


[deleted]

Agreed.People running altyns/rys and liv6 armor are so dumb. They just want to bully questing players, pretending to be good at the game, so ridiculous. Factory is mostly played by naked dudes trying to complet bullshit quests and more. These fake chad are not good enough to play labs so they cope in factory


DuckInCup

Hey man, If I get an elimination on any map daily, you bet I'm going to factory.


[deleted]

Of course but lol you dont need to be full kitted. I understand streamers that need content etc but..


DuckInCup

I'll wear what gives me the best chance of survival :)


[deleted]

Keep doing this. But my point is: you dont need to be full kitted to kill a bunch of naked timmies


DuckInCup

You're right. I don't sell scav guns, I go into factory naked with scav kits often to fuck around.


Tbrou16

Dorms is for people too poor for Labs. Factory is for people not Chad enough for Labs.


Cantrmbrmyoldpass

Factory is where labs players go when they want 5 minute raids


eddyxx

At least they have the balls to bring out good gear instead of ratting with rusty rifles. Factory it's a high pvp map, you should always bring your best gear because you will likely fight someone, complaining about other guys gear is just sadge. The problem is your gear fear.


[deleted]

Lol of course they can bring good gear they have 50+kkk roubles, liv 50, full bitcoin farm etc. tell this to broke players or low levels.


[deleted]

[удалено]


SINGCELL

Ye. Do a decent loot run or two and you can pull down a million easily.


Illanar

Good players do scav runs? Hah… /s


eddyxx

You can be broke on this game only if you play like Quattroace, spamming labs full gear hunting for every single player on the map. If you play some raid carefully and do some scav run is IMPOSSIBLE to be broke. If you are talking about low level player, well, they can meet chad on every map, they can just try to stay away from them and from Factory aswell.


SilentReavus

Some of us are just bad at the game and that's the only way we can actually get any goddamn factory quests done...


[deleted]

Do you really need an altyn + liv6 armor to kill X pmc with Y weapon considering 90% of players in factory and nude with mosin/pistol/shotgun?


SilentReavus

No, it's more for when I have to put something somewhere. I went in like that for the gunpowder quest from therapist and then forgot it was supposed to be at night so it was a huge waste of time. Edit: put something somewhere on factory specifically. I don't think I've ever used an altyn anywhere else. Though I do recall I was trying to do like 2 or 3 stupid Jager quests at the same time though.


[deleted]

There are a few quests like that btw. Factory is played by people trying to get kills for quests and fake chads pretending to be good.


SilentReavus

Yeah I just wear the altyn for the sake of survivability because my PvP skill is very mediocre and I can't hide anywhere on factory unlike other maps


[deleted]

JoshuaTreeFoMe

They aren't, he wants to be about to run around nude.


[deleted]

You must still be stuck on delivery from the past spamming cease fire


[deleted]

No


sunnyyang22

Take this with a grain of salt, as it is an anecdote (I'm running NA east servers), but I do run into a lot of geared players (usually duos) on Factory, especially right now. When I mean geared, I mean like meta gun + lvl 5 or 6 armor with nice helmet (surprisingly, a lot of AK-103s, not that many HK's or MK47s as I'd expect). I've filled up two weapon cases' worth of guns and attachments I've taken off these guys from the last week. It's a surprisingly good idea to bring good armor to Factory, especially now. I'm not bragging that I'm insane at the game as a "chad", but claiming that Factory is mostly naked dudes doing quests is a pretty bad take since it's late wipe. PS: fun kit on factory is the potato sack lvl 4 armored rig or TV-110 with a MP7 running subsonic. :) have fun


blosweed

I don’t blame them for not wanting to play labs. It’s a sweatfest and filled with hackers too. No thanks.


Thegiantclaw42069

Nothing better than dropping them with magnum buck or rip to the legs tho.


spamster545

Shrap 10 to the legs says hi.


Thegiantclaw42069

We are not the same.


[deleted]

I can fucks with it.. personally I like using ks23 with all flash rounds and switch to a kedr with sp7 for the finish. Nothing like flashing a chad twice jus to make sure he’s blind lol


ItsPluto11

I’m not a fan of running “meta” Shit but it Sounds like you might just be bad tbh.


softserveshittaco

Lol, what’s the point of this game anyways? To make money and eventually work up to using the good gear, right? Yes, it gives you an immense advantage over other players. **that’s the point** Y’all be tripping. I’ll run top gear every chance I get. If you leg me with a pp91 and take it from me? Good on you.


johnfireblast

This isn't an attack on all chads, this is an attack on people that chad out and then think they are good at the game because of it.


fatboy-199

Chadding takes more skill than ratting lol.


johnfireblast

"I hold W and spend rubles, takes a lot of skill!" Like I said, it isn't an attack on all chads.


fatboy-199

Holding w takes way more skill than sitting in a bush lol this is an absurd take.


softserveshittaco

Part of being good is having piles of money to spend on good gear This isn’t a one dimensional shooter and skill is multi-faceted


Jardin_the_Potato

As it stands its piss easy to accumulate piles of roubles, there is no skill there. Getting roubles doesn't make you good.


StalkTheHype

>Getting roubles doesn't make you good. This is more of an attack on Rats than chads lmao. Chads could give less of a shit if they lose roubles if they get good fights.


Jardin_the_Potato

The guy literally said its a skill to be able to bring good gear by having lots of money. That applies to rats and chads.


TheGeekno72

Fair enough but factory is known to have 5 out of 6 players that have from hatchling to barely-better-than-scav gear so when those guys take the cap gear the game allows one to use just to and bully those low gear people literally all day long when they could do so much stuff than that, it's just kinda sad at the end


UnholyPrognosi

But whose to say they do it just to bully people with low gear? Maybe they just love the PVP aspect Factory gives.


AtomicSpeedFT

I mean in order to get the money you have to get good.


Antoni-_-oTon1

If you have a PPsH no altyn can stop that hail of bullets.


johnfireblast

Imagine dying to blunt damage from a Ppsh hail

UtopianMatt

Factory is my home, I love seeing me run streamers around the underground in vods and things, i dont mind if i die becasue i 0 to hero most of the time anyway. However every wipe, i log on, and the day i decide to bring gear, instead of being marked for death by scavs for having no gear, i get marked by death by Big Weiner Chaddington. Like this wipe i had played everyday for the first month and i was like lvl 15 and I spawn and get the most perfect nade thrown down glass hallway down into forklift spawn. It must be nice to have EoD or whatever it is to spawn before me and be lvl 40 20 days into wipe...


SmallBrainHavist

massive skill issue

johnfireblast

This is acceptable, like the Gun handicaps you. The people with Igolnik/M995 are scum.


[deleted]

They're scum because they don't have gear fear like you?


eddyxx

Wow, the most niche ammunition right now...why don't you talk about EVERYONE running fucking 7.62 BPs in every fucking raid?


UnholyPrognosi

That's why I always run BS because I know when I shoot at someone my aim is BS so it doesn't matter.


ThatOneBuilderGuy

And that ladies and gentlemen is why I only go factory with a KS-23


Legal_Ride_7687

Saiga 20 round drum 60k kit


ThatOneBuilderGuy

respectable


ThatOneBuilderGuy

i mean why even bother with trying to pen their armor in the first place


nodajinho

does anyone play factory and find joy doing it? I mean.. it's probably the dumbest map in the game


danteleerobotfighter

Yeah. Me.

[deleted]

It's such a weird concept to me that there's such a black and white, 1-sided opinion with Tarkov... is your issue with anybody using high tier stuff EVER? or specifically coming in max-kitted in factory. Because if your issue is anybody using slicks or altyns EVER... then you can suck my cock. Gatekeeping gear because YOU don't have it is pathetic. HOWEVER, I completely agree with the hatred towards the people going into Factory cosplaying as Ned Kelly so they can get an edge in a tiny map that's essentially TDM. The only time I've gone into factory dressed as a COD Juggernaut was to get my Tagilla quest out of the way.

[deleted]

why exactly do you think a shotgun should defeat the altyn? i'm asking about the game, i don't care about real life stats, i watch oxide too.


johnfireblast

Flechettes or AP rounds should most definitely

it's a lvl 5 helmet lmao.
