r/EFT_EscapeFromTarkov

Long story about 3 weeks ago i was key-logged due to my pc being on a work domain and a person in the organization clicking a phishing link and i lost my Tarkov account, I contacted support and surprisingly (after some research i found out they have notoriously terrible support) they got back to me requesting some more info which i provided within the hour. That was 3 weeks ago.

What should i do? Stick it out and wait for another response? Send a follow-up email? Or just cut my losses and buy a new account?

im really struggling to get into lexos ive never done it before and have 3 quests to complete in there any chad down to help me get in and show me how you go about it?

One of the funniest encounters I’ve ever had the pleasure to have in tarkov lol mans funny as hell

The moderators on the official reddit seem to protect this degenerate so I decided to repost it here.

His pov is at the end of the video

This absolute creature of a human decided to hop on tarkov, he played like 4 pmc raids and I somehow managed to get into his lobby and streamsnipe him

if you know something about him and his behaviour this is deserved

i know i laughed like a little child but this shit made my day

he refunded the game after like 2 hours LMAO

So ive been contemplating getting tarkov. I like extraction shooters (not arc raiders) and I wanted somthing to switch up from my regular ABI runs.

My friend is telling g me tarkov is pretty much unplayable without a full size keyboard( i have a 75%). Is this true or am I just gonna have to remind a few things and thug it out.

I am making this post because I genuinely don't know what else to try at this point.

I'm currently working on The Huntsman Path – Evil Watchman in PvE mode and only need 2 more PMC kills within the Dorms area on Customs to complete the quest.

Normally this shouldn't be a difficult task, but for me it has become completely impossible.

Over the last 10 days, I have run well over 150 Customs raids, with the sole purpose of finding PMCs inside the Dorms area. During all of these raids, I have not encountered a single PMC inside Dorms. Not one.

At first I assumed I was just getting unlucky, but after this many raids I no longer believe luck has anything to do with it.

To avoid the usual suggestions, here is a list of everything I have already tested:

Raid conditions tested:

• Day raids
• Night raids
• Local PvE raids
• BSG-hosted PvE raids

Different approaches tested:

• Sprinting directly to Dorms from spawn
• Playing slowly and arriving much later
• Staying in the raid until the final minutes
• Waiting around Dorms for extended periods
• Rotating around both 2-story and 3-story Dorms repeatedly

AI manipulation attempts:

• Killing every Scav I encountered
• Leaving Scavs alive
• Killing bosses
• Leaving bosses alive
• Using Acid Flares
• Using grenades to attract AI
• Using smoke grenades
• Using F-1 grenades and other explosives

I've also spent a lot of time researching the issue. I watched numerous YouTube guides, searched through Reddit threads, and followed every piece of advice I could find from other players who completed the quest recently.

Nothing has changed the outcome.

What makes me think this is not simply bad RNG is the amount of raids involved. After more than 150 runs specifically focused on Dorms, the probability of never seeing a PMC there seems extremely unlikely.

Because of that, I suspect there may be a problem with the current PMC AI behavior on Customs.

My personal theory is that this started sometime around the Icebreaker pre-patch that was deployed before the full release. Prior to that update, PMCs regularly appeared in or around Dorms and completing Evil Watchman was never considered a major issue.

Since then, I've noticed several other strange AI behaviors as well.

For example, PMC groups will sometimes stand completely motionless for long periods of time. They don't patrol, rotate, push fights, or react in the way they used to. It often feels like they become stuck somewhere along their route.

Another thing I've consistently observed is that PMCs seem to accumulate near specific extraction areas and then remain there for the rest of the raid.

The locations where I most frequently find them are:

• Scav Checkpoint
• ZB-1011
• RUAF Roadblock
• Trailer Park

In many cases I find multiple PMCs clustered around these locations, often showing very little movement compared to previous patches.

This leads me to believe there may be an issue with PMC pathfinding, spawn logic, or route selection on Customs. If the AI is prioritizing certain areas or getting stuck along its routes, that could explain why Dorms appears to be completely abandoned.

I'm curious whether other PvE players have noticed the same thing.

• Are you still finding PMCs in Dorms on Customs?
• If so, how recently?
• Have you completed Evil Watchman since the Icebreaker pre-patch?
• Have you also noticed PMCs getting stuck near extracts or standing still for extended periods?

At this point I'm mainly trying to determine whether this is an isolated issue affecting my raids or whether there is a broader problem with PMC AI on Customs that was introduced in a recent update.

Any feedback from players who have completed the quest recently would be appreciated.

Since the last patch i'm going insane trying to do a single normal raid, in every raid no matter the weapon condition or ammo they jam and overheat with very few shots, literally cannot have a single fair pvp while fighting it. I sent a ticket but you can imagine how long it takes.

Things i already checked out: Reseting windows clock, resynced it, making the process automatic on mscservices etc even changed the BIOS battery. If anyone have another solution i can try please leave a comment (already tried restarting the windows time with cmd and reinstall too)

Sorry for my broken english, thanks for reading.

Oh boy here we go, I don't wanna gatekeep so ill just get straight into it. its gonna be patched eventually so all you people who wanna just do your quests now is the time

Step 1: bring a gun with decent pen ammo, a few mags will doand a few grenades 5-10 to kill helipad bds without engaging them. Bring splints, cms/surv and some heals just in case you break your legs while doing it. If you wanna fight wedge, bring a few m18 smoke grenades, set your volumetric lighting setting on low and bring a flashlight on your gun and helmet (or multiple on your gun) in order to see through the smoke.

Step 2: as soon as you load in run to the right side sealed door, to the right of it, is a pipe that goes all the way to the roof. LOOK STRAIGHT UP, RUN INTO THE PIPE ON EITHER SIDE and JUMP repeatedly. You can do this while mildly overweight and with low strength so you low levels can do it too.

Step 3: you will notice while jumping your pmc will sometimes MANTLE. the trick is triggering the mantle when your near the railing, this may take some fiddling but you can get it very consistent with some practice. The key thing to going up the pipe levels quickly, is constantly mantling while climbing, you dont need stamina to climb if your doing it properly.

Step 4: Climb up every level of railing until your at the top railing, walk along the railing to the right and MANTLE over the railing onto the upper deck.

Step 5: From here you can enter the sealed door with code 312220 and access the C-1 keycard room without fighting anything. If you enter the building from that door, the upper black division wont spawn until you open the keypad sealed doors below you. Freely loot all of the loot in the upper deck. (IF you have the blowtorch in your special slot you can go loot the captains deck aswell)

Step 6: Head to the blocked off stairs leading down on the right side of the ship outside, jump on the open yellow box and jump over the railing down a floor (there is a bit of rubberbanding to fiddle around to get over) from here you can mantle down over most of the railing, (check the steering deck in front of the helipad at the top for a GUARANTEED AVG-10 FUEL and GREEN FLARE. No black division have spawned yet except the 3 guarding wedges door.

Step 7: If you dont want to fight wedge, skip to step 10. Kill the 3 bd guards in front of wedges door on the stairs. I personally just left had peek them from the bottom of the stairs or you can right hand peek coming down from the top if you prefer that. grenade spam is also an option if you dont wanna risk it.

Step 8: open the door and throw a smoke close, defuse the trap or if your wearing a gas mask, ignore it. throw another smoke slightly more up the hall toward that first door, the gym. wait for it to bloom, throw another smoke in the gym close so you can step inside, this is an aggro trigger point. you can go back and forth between the hallway and the gym entrance and all of the guards and boss will peek you slowly but surely. if you brought more than 3, resmoke the gym and hallway at your feet to give yourself more time. listen for footsteps and shoot heads. in solo there is 3 guards and the boss in groups theres 4 guards.

Step 9: LOOT once wedge and his boys are dead, loot their mags cash and etgs. grab the torch and keycard, hit the code room upstairs for a chance at up to 6 moonshine spawns (ive had 4 at once) you can also hit the rooms with the keycard you found there, not much loot to be honest but defibs on the beds and moonshines in the fridges/glitched into the desks. If you did the previous steps correctly, you looted above you without the bd spawning so your free to head down to the helipad.

Step 10: Mantle your way down to the helipad NO BLACK DIVISION ARE SPAWNED YET so if you accidentally climb over the wrong ledge, you can just run around the bottom up to the helipad.

Step 11: DO NOT LAUNCH GREEN FLARE. the flare will not work without triggering the cutscene at the start. head backwards down the stairs in the room toward engine room. BEWARE! the engine room black division will be crouched inside of each other in 2 of 6 random spawns. dont be alarmed as long as you dont panic shoot or barrel stuff them they will not move or shoot, just voiceline. AIM AT THE HEAD of the crouched group and let the bullets fly baby. IMPORTANT there will be 2 groups of 3-4 black division depending on solo or group to find and shoot. one group will be under or in front of the stairs your going down, the other will be in one of the 4 closed doors in engine room on the sides at the top and 3rd floors. MAKE SURE you kill these 2 groups before moving foward.

Step 12: once you have kill the engine room black division, run the map in reverse all the way to the cutscene point to trigger the extract to activate and the rest of the black division to spawn.

Step 13: Run back to the helipad and the 3-4 black division on the helipad as well as the bds down to the left have spawned. toss grenades underarm over the top to kill the black division without fighting them. i can kill them all with about 5 guaranteed. or just toss a grenade and swing (will be hard to see them with volumetric lighting on lol)

Step 14: EXTRACT WITH YOUR GOOP!!! Congrats.

TIP if you fight all the rogues at the start, trigger the cutscene then run back and continue from step 2, the extract will activate without spawning the black division! this means you dont have to go to engine room or fight anything on the helipad and you can get all the loot at the start aswell! The cutscene activates the extract and the engine room triggerpoint spawn all the bd outside. this avoids the latter. additionally, you can also kill the bd inside engine room and loot it like the previous steps if you dont cross the triggerpoint line in the middle of engine room! (you can loot the keypad room without triggering the helipad bds)

My buddy and I were playing Ice Breaker on PVE and randomly the game crashed. We both opened our games again to find out PVE accounts wiped and defaulted to PVP stash/money/lv. AKA from lv 41 to lv 9. WTF. Anyone else experienced this?

DOES NO ONE HAVE A SOLUTION TO THIS FUCKING PROBLEM 120$ ON A FUCKING GAME THAT DOES NOT LET ME INSTALL IT WHAT THE FUCKING MOTHERFUCK.

THEN I TRY TO FUCKING FIX THE PROBLEM AND I CANT EVEN INSTALL THE MOTHERFUCKING FUCKING LAUNCHER ON THEIR OFFICIAL WEBSITE BECAUSE SOMETHING ON BATTLESTATES END IS FUCKED UP AND DOES NOT ALLOW ME TO LOAD THE MOTHERFUCKING PAGE WHAT THE FUCK.

I INSTALL THE MOTHERFUCKING VPN AND NOW EFT OFFICIAL SAYS MY ACTIVITY IS SUSPICOUS AND BLOCKS MY IP ADDRESS FROM OPENING THEIR WEBSITE WHAT THE MOTHERFUCK FUCK FUCKITY FUCK I'VE HAD IT WITH THIS BULL MOTHERFUCKING SHIT.
