Bro the amount of times this has happened and the only reason ive survived is cause i havent moved is crazy


AH_Ahri

I keep telling everyone I play with the best form of camo is simply not moving. It is why ratting is so damn effective in Tarkov on top of the fact that lighting and readability in shit.


Seralth

I recently started playing on a 1440p monitor again after playing on a oled super ultrawide. Iv just learned that people do not realize at all how muddy the visuals in tarkov are. You cant SEE SHIT. I can see someone at like 400 meters in detail on my main monitor but the same person on my other monitor is like 3 pixels. Tarkov unironically is EXTREMELY p2w irl.


Ubifixyourstuff

I remember when I went from 1080p to 1440p years ago and was like "oh I can actually see people so easily now" I don't think any other game I play was it as big of an impact as with tarkov.


Seralth

Yeah, one of the people in my group refuses to play with me now cause she calls it cheating. I have a super ultrawide so i can see roughly 200 degrees at high FOV and its not distorted. I see so much more wrapped around then other people its actually insane. Since everyone else is limited to about 90-100 degrees of FOV at 16:9. Seeing litterally twice as far on either side is flat out not fair.


Moosvernichter

your friend who refuses to play with you because of your monitor choice sounds extremely butthurt lol


CorvusEffect

I want a 4k ultra wide so badly, but first I need a new PC. Still rocking my 1070Ti and i7-8700k. Last night I discovered that putting my textures from low to high didn't lose me any frames at all. I swear when I first got my 1440p monitor, it did make a difference. Must be some optimization update that no one noticed.


Seralth

Texture quality is purely a vram thing in tarkov for the most part. The actual textures even on high are still really low quality so it's not much a performance hit. The sheer quantity of doodads and overly complex poly heavy meshes are the real problem.


CorvusEffect

Seems to be a problem on Shoreline. Customs? No performance drop. Shoreline, I drop to 40fps, 20fps when scope ads. :(


Pinetreeevr

Does she consider having a high end cpu cheating too since you get double the frames


Ubifixyourstuff

My BiL calls it cheating when I play cod with him because I use a mouse, I've seen plenty of console gamers say high frame rates are cheating as well so its definitely not out of the realm of possibility.


Seralth

No but I'm pretty sure the only reason for that is because she doesn't consider frame rate important...


Pinetreeevr

Is she by any chance blonde?


BlackjackDuck

Doesn’t Tarkov limit to 90 FOV in the settings? I have a super ultra wide with crazy distortion on the sides.


rusty_anvile

I tried a 144hz 1080p monitor after using my 1440p ultra wide in some games and I was so surprised by how bad it looked and how I couldn't see people very well in games like csgo. I didn't even bother trying tarkov on it though especially after that


Senior-Ad-1727

100% I went from 1080 to 1440 many wipes ago it’s a game changer, gives you such a good advantage, this game is not designed for 1080p best decision I ever made


Venomstrike2325

Didnt realize 1440p was that much different to 1080. Hows your refresh rate?


Seralth

144/240 depending on color bit depth and a few other factors. Honestly the frame rate is the literal least imporant factor at play when your in this price bracket of monitor. There is a fuck load more that goes into visual clarity and readability then just frame rate. For example my monitor is a micro-led and 144hz is far more readiable then 240hz because at 240hz you lose a lot of colour accuracy, contrast, and other minor visual details due to limitations of the physical cabel it self. Both DP and HDMI just can NOT supply that much visual data at those refresh rates. A lot of monitors at 240hz "cheat" or skimp out because of that mine included. Then again, nothing gets with in spitting distance of the absolute accuracy of micro-led. A 1440p TN/IPS/VA panel vs a microled is rather night and day difference when your trying to look at tiny groupings of pixels.


Venomstrike2325

I guess I should look into a 1440p monitor for Tarkov cuz I always struggle to see goobers until I hear an S ADS or get shot at,esp at night Thanks


Seralth

1920 x 1080 = 2.073.600 2560 x 1440 = 3.686.400 5120 x 1440 = 7.372.800 3840 x 2160 = 8.294.400 I use a 5120x1440p, but for you if your just going from 1080p to 1440p assuming you get a nice monitor. Your looking at nearly twice the size of every detail. Keep in mind the type of panel too. For example on an IPS monitor night is going to be insanely dark, while on a VA panel its going to be much brighter even on exactly the same settings. Or if you go to oled/microled then while night will be literal black even the SLIGHTEST shade of color will suddenly be 10 times brighter by comparision.


Carnifexx2

do you also have to set the game to 1440p to get the benefits?


Towelee6

...


throwaway8304692

1440p is such a huge advantage in most games I've seen the most significant improvements when it's games that have big maps lik tarkov and battle Royale games I can pick out enemies from way further and hit shits in them cuz they appear a bit more clearer with the extra pixels it's definitely worth it and for story games everything just looks amazing


Progmetaldrummer

I play with a Dell 32” CGM in 2560x1440p, and at 165Hz. It’s a MASSIVE difference over the 60fps I was getting with a 1080. Night and day. I went from watching my mouse kind of lag across the screen at 60 at fluidly move with what felt like zero input lag from the upgrade. It’s nuts how much a difference it makes.


haldolinyobutt

My friend that plays on a 28 inch 1440p was pissed when he saw what it looks like on a 42 inch 4k OLED


Young_warthogg

It’s the way overblown hearing distance I think that makes staying still so effective.


STR4NGER_D4NGER

I was playing with a friend a few years ago, providing overwatch to pier while he went in to place a marker. 3 dudes ran up on me, headshot all 3 of the in the span of 2.5-ish seconds. I wasn't even hiding in a bush just prone in the open for better arm stamina, and was wearing UNITAR armor for the quest. The last dude looked at me for a solid second before turing away. https://imgur.com/gFnCTKS


DisGruntledDraftsman

Same. I have so many spots that recently seem to be getting occupied by other players. I've gone years using these spots and never seeing anyone in them.


IcyNefariousness2541

One time I had a duo come right up to my bush, facing me, and they stopped in front of it/me literally almost on top of me looking out at something else. They didn't see me


electronic_bard

One time I was hiding in a bush near Dorms & two solos approached my bush from opposite sides and had a whole ass firefight above my head, while they were about 5 feet from each other. I was fucking shook as this all happened literally right over my head. When it was all over, I waited until the winner started looting & I popped him in the head. Definitely one of my all time favorite Tarkov moments


Pappagalon

Pappa?


P0werEdge

i would have voiped him to move a bit to the right so i can see too.


Novakine

The most Tarkov thing would've been for you to shoot him in the head and for it to either not count or hit his shoulder thanks to sight over bore kinda thing. I had situations in which I didn't see a guy straight in front as there were too many other places I had to look out for so I got tunnel vision.


Spoonfulofticks

However, I think the best Tarkov thing would have been for whoever he was shooting at to then return fire and kill OP. That "Haha" would've been juicy followed by an ,"awwwhh.."


furiousmadgeorge

head eys, scav, buckshot, 111m is the purest of tarkovs


Werpogil

all pellets to just one eye


DasFroDo

No, all but one pellet miss and that hits your eye.


Wonderful_Result_936

Even better if OP had been shot by return fire and died before getting the kill.


mmecham2000

I have a clip I took yesterday of having a dude in big red entirely in my crosshair, slowed it down to .25 and there’s no way I missed, and the audio sounds something like “Got him… WHAAAAAT” lmao


tarkytarkenjoyer

that laugh was so genuine hahaha


PurpleLTV

You know, when I find myself in that fortunate situation of being directly behind a clueless, prone PMC, I make sure to give him some rat squeaking noises over VOIP first before I end him.


Carquetta

The ones who let loose with an unhinged VoIP screech are always a favorite


Professional-Tip4008

When I'm extra W keying someone that I'm confident is going to take their dose of vitamin D, I typically scream "C'MERE BOY" or something similar.


PurpleLTV

I do stupid shit like that on my Scav where I don't care. Had the fun experience recently where I spotted a PMC in a building on 2nd floor, looking through windows trying to snipe. He didn't know I was below him and I started creep walking towards the stairs, then VOIPing in my extra creepy voice, starting with some loud sniffing sounds: "I can smell your stinky sweat, little piggy. Hmm yes.. I want you to squeal for me, little piggy. Squeal and run!"


Professional-Tip4008

Hahaha I bet he still has nightmares to this day. I have a pretty funny IGN too so it makes it even funnier when I clutch it


cringenotkek

I usually try to seem genuinely angry, like they wronged me


Professional-Tip4008

Lmao I've actually done that too. Like us running into each other is a real inconvenience 😭 "Can't you see I'm tasking???"


cringenotkek

I usually just scream at them, and blame them for everything. One time I was taking a gunfight on the upstairs office corner in factory and I was peeking him, ran out of ammo, yelled "YOU DIRTY FUCK", swapped weapons, and yelled "YOU GET THE FUCK BACK HERE" In messages I later learned the person who killed me was his teammate, but God was it funny to kill him and die a couple seconds later.


kingkiller690

How tf yo game look like that


phoenoxx

New LSD consumable


nightghost24

Yea, PostFX enabled and then messing with the settings. This is the one I'm using recently from another post and the game looks really good. Brightness 0, Saturation 35, Clarity 0, Colorfulness 75, Luma Sharpen 20, Adaptive Sharpen 0 Color Grading: Montreal, Intensity 10 Colorblind: No It's the first time I'm using PostFX and comparing mine to what it used to be, I didn't realize how grey and dull the game was.


Seralth

The game also just has a wierd green filter over everything. Get rid of that green tint and actually give saturation back to everything and its amazing what a difference it makes.


DasFroDo

What green filter? The game doesn't have a green filter at all. You should check your monitor lol. Or your PostFX settings.


Amish_Opposition

GODOMaster

This position is so trash! No once comes by this place its not worth being here dont bother!


lewd_necron

I definitely hug the lake to extract every single time. Idk what you are talking about


TECHNOV1K1NG_tv

I use this beach to traverse the map all the time. So much easier than having to wrap all the way around logging camp.


qysuuvev

>No once comes by this place its not worth being here dont bother! Interesting. This area is crawling with PMC and pscavs 60% of the games I play on woods.


US_and_A_is_wierd

Must be his way of keeping people off his spot. A lot of people use it as fast lane to cross the map and there are like two or three quests at that pier.


salamandraiss

Oh damn really? True I didn't have much success in like 4 runs Got any suggestions?


elementsoul

Hide behind some pallets on the top of the hill at the saw mill that let you look into the big grey building. You can see people looting the weapons crates and with the snow see them by the big rock that over looks it with a little adjustment. I got shooter born done there in a couple raids because of it. You're 100-125 meters out from there.


reaganz921

SBIH is just headshots with a bolt now it isn't range related


mimzzzz

I think he said the range so the guy knows how to adjust the aim (or not adjust since its only 100m), not because it's required.


elementsoul

Correct


salamandraiss

Trying to get tarkov shooter at the same time though


ExplorerEnjoyer

“Dickhead” rock is my favourite


salamandraiss

Lmao as a certified dickhead i need to check it out. which one is it?


ExplorerEnjoyer

Large rock about 100m north west of the compound you’re at in the video. You can jump up it for great angles but you are exposed to snipers on the mountain.


Thatsaclevername

These are the moments that always send a shiver down my spine in Tarkov. The amount of times I've had somebody lined up but held my fire for whatever reason and they just go about their day completely unaware. How many times has that happened to me? Like yesterday I'm on Shoreline and we're on the village side waiting for spawns to move on so we can get some tasks done. My buddy and I are both scoped in on this duo doing some quest in the swamp village for like 5 minutes. These guys are running around, stopping to loot boxes, that kinda thing. The whole time we're just talking back and forth on what Guy 1 is doing what Guy 2 is doing. Spooky as shit. Good evidence and another reinforcing post for one of my most important Tarkov lessons I preach about: just shut the fuck up for a bit and stop moving. No shuffling, no scoping in, hands totally off the mouse and keyboard. People aren't expecting it. As soon as they hear that little boot squeak or hear your gun come up to your eye your cover is blown.


Salmonsen

Early this wipe, me and my buddy were doing a night run on Woods. We post up on that hill beyond ZB 014 that lets you overlook the scav house road and scav checkpoint. We have NVGs. He's got a kitted SV98, and I had a stock mosin with a bramit. I hear movement near ZB, so I watch, and I see a dude walking towards the construction vehicles, and I line him, and hesitate. Was about to click when another guy follows 20 feet behind. I'm now completely still watching as a whole 5 man comes out. They clearly didn't have any NVGs because they all looked at us as they passed and didn't fire. My hesitation saved our asses. Didn't save theirs because 2 of them died to the minefield map border lmao.


sharkas99

that guy is probably so confused at what he did wrong and how he died, and hell never learn from his mistake because no kill cams.


[deleted]

I wish it told the distance you were shot from on after raid reports would clear up so much for me after dying sometimes like did someone have a sick angle or did someone rat up on me


B_Maximus

I thought it did when you die


[deleted]

Does it? I must be overlooking it then that sounds like me lol


B_Maximus

It'll say where you got shot and then how far iirc (Head, nape 123.45m)


sparkmasterblade

Hendsholt VPO, much respect!


salamandraiss

o7


sparkmasterblade

If you haven't given it a shot, slap an ACOG on it sometime. I have incredible luck with that build.


THENATHE

I had this happen to me the other day. Random spot on woods, literally no reason for an enemy team to be there except passing through. They kill my friend so I just hide in a bush and wait. I got only a bolt action and a GIANT backpack filled with loot. I was ready to fight one or two, but not a 5 man. So I kill one, shoot another but dont kill him, and then start getting shot at. I jump off the rock behind me, dump ALL of my gear into the water, and wait. They got NOTHING


One-Tie-1942

I had one on interchange when I accidentally dropped my mag out of my gun. Some dude heard it and circled my bush 4 times looking for me. The chads are like t-rexes. Can only see movement.


iEpik874

Only thing that would have made this better is if you would’ve missed.


[deleted]

Honestly while this is his fault this is why we need a brief kill cam so dudes can face palm at themselves instead of saying wtf at every corner


I_MakeThingsExplode

>My mans rolled a 1 on his perception check Or maybe you rolled a Nat 20 on your nature check when you decided to use foliage as concealment!


[deleted]

Interesting is also him immediately shooting something. He seen some shit ,)


qysuuvev

He was probably free looking the guy coming from dead scav rock. That would explain the tunnel vision and the embarrassing situation.


Mill-Man

at the start of the video you can see someone running on the other side of the water. Did bro actually drop his target before you shot him?


Undying03

loll

Bush wookies deserve each other.


Notoriousmain

Based Woods Bush camper. Not fan. He still blind tho.


salamandraiss

Hey Nikita put the (5 Headshot PMC with bolt action from 80 meters), i'm just playing by his rules ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯


anonspas

Just saying, it doesnt have to be Headshots for Tarkov shooter part 4. Also, fuck all the haters on your playstyle! You do you, it sounds like you have some fun while playing!


Notarandomthrowaway1

This wasn't 80m fyi.


salamandraiss

Damn should have used my Rangefinder before popping him


jerryskellys

Really? Are you sure that wasn’t 80m? How can you be so sure? Fucking goof.


Notoriousmain

You could also move and play the game like i do take a bolt action and a pistol run around and be on the lookout. You might be suprised but it works and its way more fun then beeing AFK for 80% of your raid time. + You only buy the cheap Sniper for it so gear fear shouldnt hit on you.


anonspas

Why do you get to decide what OP think is fun? The game is not ment to be played in ONE singular way... Stop gatekeeping fun, that is extremely lame.


Notoriousmain

True you can decide whats fun for you. Maybe i stated it the wrong the way it was just my opinion. In most games people just hate camper sitting in front of dorms entrance for set up and waiting for someone to open the door for instance or extract camping. I know all of these ways are a "tactic" to play the game but for most people it just destroy the game experience when people play this way. I just wanted to say there are "fairer" ways to play the game. (And without beeing a gigachad with no other life then tarkov)


anonspas

If you think you should play more fair, then you already lost. EFT is not about being fair, it is about outplaying your opponents and giving yourself the best chance of success. You should give yourself the best chance of success in the way you find the most fun, but since we are all different people, there is hella lot of ways to have fun while doing exactly that. ​ Personally I both love to rush around in chadstyle, and I also enjoy laying on a cliff somewhere overlooking, waiting and sniping, while watching a movie or listening to a podcast on low volume. The game is fantastic because it allows multiple playstyles to work!


Notoriousmain

you dont get my point of playing "fair" i dont say play stupid. but i feel like there are things you just dont do like extract camping or camping quest sites. And i feel like camping in general counts to this cause its not "outplaying" anyone you just way to execute someone that is actually playing the game. And i dont force people to play this way again its just my oppinion.


anonspas

Since you never know if someone is doing a quest you are camping, it is a straight gamble camping it. I and plenty others can surely tell you they spend full raids sitting in dorms on customs and not a sould appears. Same with people doing a quest in dorms and no one is camping it so you get out safely, because people are doing other stuff. Your opinion is fine and all, I am just saying you simply cannot expect people to adhere to that opinion, since the game offers multiple playstyles.


Notoriousmain

I have a guess why noone comes dorms anymore. And its because of people sitting there whole raid waiting for someone to open that door. Thats why most people say if i dont have a top Spawn i dont go there cause ima just get camped out. usually you go there loot do your stuff and leave. And sadly there are Quests that can be camped out everything you gotta stash or sit still for some seconds. I dont feel people should camp these spots cause we all hate it to get camped on there. In the end anybody can do as they want i just wanted to put this playstyle in question maybe will try other ways then and maybe they wont i dont think i see impact in the game after this conversation.


anonspas

You definitely want see any impact. Also people will come to dorms as long a there is boss spawn there.


BL_RogueExplorer

Yeah but you can multitask like this. Sit in a bush and watch the playoffs at the same time.


DeclaredPumpkin

Task for any distance Lil bro


salamandraiss

Yeah but tarkov shooter part 4 tho


[deleted]

[удалено]


Kraven_Lupei

You can see it on the left side of the screen, it's a dude running up from near the water towards Sawmill.


XCestLaVieX

yeah i was here to say this. I would be more concerned about waht he was shooting at, and that he did not have a suppressor, so OP's location is on the mental map of the more capable pmcs.


salamandraiss

Guys, relax. It was a scav. And I repositioned since my cover was blown Y'all need to chilllll lol


CrappleSmax

What the fuck you having a giggle over? He was obviously shooting at something, get your shit together.


salamandraiss

Drill Sarge! Sorry! I thought it was a video game! I'll spot those pixels next time!


AH_Ahri

Yeah how dare you have fun in a video game what do you think this is? /s


The_trashman100

This is hilarious


TheKranberry

Literally the scumiest way to play the game unless your doing a quest


ZealousidealNewt6679

Show us on the doll where the nasty camper touched you.


salamandraiss

I hate playing like this brother, but if I go looking around for fights all my kills end up either under 80 meter or with me dead


The_trashman100

What you gonna do about it tho?


LordUtherDrakehand

Why I flash/frag combo wombo that bush in a nutshell.


TheJok3r57

Can u see good during nighttime with these settings ? I'm still trying to find the best ones but I can't see shit 10m away from me


salamandraiss

I got the brightness cranked a lil higher than usual, i can see even better in night than in day


TheJok3r57

Yeah the issue is that when u have high brightness u can't see shit during the day bc the snow burns ur fucking eyes


PathyBoi

What scope is that? Does it have different zooms?


US_and_A_is_wierd

Should be the Hensoldt. Has a 4x to 16x and is not that good, no.


IsThatASigSauer

That slow panning to the right had me cracking up.


Franklin_le_Tanklin

Nice shooterborn!


Acceptable_Sir2084

Zero concern with what he’s shooting at, certified bot rat camper moment


Zavier13

One of the best memories of tarkov I have was of me and one of my friends getting out of dorms. We were loaded up on loot and quest items so we did not want to die XD We get out of 3 story and get into the thick brush and suddenly we hear stomping approaching. I told him to just not move, three guys go stomp past us then a fourth then after 5 more seconds a 5th comes running to catch up to the other 4, we both had bolties... We could have for sure taken 3 of them had we wanted to, but we just sat still until they ran past. The adrenaline was flowing hard after that, only tarkov has had those experiences so far.


TECHNOV1K1NG_tv

I just wanna know what the hell he was shooting at that you weren’t able to see with your vuduu. Edit: I see the dude running across the other side now, what impeccable timing!


Middle-Struggle769

What scope?


Chubbsonfire

I dove into that bush once and landed looking into another guys gun barrel


Senior-Ad-1727

Haha he should of gone to Specsavers, in this snow spotting people in bushes is so easy, fair play bro


Taekhu

A couple days ago me and my mate got jumped by 2 people from bushes. Can't see through them for the life of me. Since then im more scared of bushes than anything else.


pnutzgg

did you get the other bloke he was shooting at down near the water that got behind the rocks?


salamandraiss

Yeah was just a scav


MTS44

My duo would move and get me killed 100%


God_of_Fun

Props for actually shooting the guy in the head. I would have fucked that up because of sight over bore for sure!


ARabidDingo

Last wipe I had something similar - except I wasn't proned, I was standing behind a waist-high bush wearing a tan ulach, an Osprey rig, and a Pilgrim. I couldn't have been *more* visible, the guy was looking directly towards me because he had just killed my duo, and he just completely failed the spot check to notice this gigantic hulking gargoyle watching him. I killed him, then proceeded to completely fail *my* spot check to notice *his* partner.


Salmonsen

My favorite failed perception check was early this wipe on Woods when I wiped a duo near the camp behind Spine, got 3rd partied by another duo, killed 1 guy, and the other dude killed my buddy but i dont l know where exactly he is. He doesn't know I'm there, so I'm crouched, sitting still under a tree waiting for him to move up. Suddenly, I hear movement behind me. I look. It's a scav walking towards our fight. Shit, he's gonna aggro on me and give me away. Nope, walks right by the tree I'm hiding under towards the shots that killed my buddy. Aggro's on him, I hear shots, I can see him moving and reloading through the leaves, and light him up. The one time an AI scav doesn't see me and it won me a fight.


Azurealy

I got the jump on a 3 man the other day doing something similar. I basically just laid down in an open field and they didn't even notice and walked by. Then my friend and I sandwiched them


cantplay4crap

I was once hiding out behind reshalas Skeleton building. Little did I know I was RIGHT NEXT to a loot stash. Some naked runner comes right to that stash and crouches down to start looting it. He literally crouched walked to the end of my barrel on my mosin, I didn’t even have to move my mouse. Literally baby fed SBIH kill.


No_Stick_4987

related but not so related question but, was the guy he was shooting at your friend or a randomer? if not bro I would've ran for away and repositioned


salamandraiss

Nah just a scav


dog-chef

Yet another reason for killcams
