Fir

I think it creates a good incentive for players to play to survive.

I just think that the changes made to FiR is absolutely the best thing BSG has done so far. I was so tired of fighting my way through a map and risking my expensive gear to get to a building bloody and messed up to see everything of value looted by hatchet runners shoving graphics cards in their prison pocket. Now I hardly ever see hatchet runners or pistol runners and it makes the game more enjoyable knowing I'm fighting through the maps for a purpose. No more maps with 5 hatchet runners stealing everything and getting away with it. REJOICE.

The fun of Tarkov for me is definitely going into raids with the intention to complete or make progress on a task or two. The new FiR mechanic has made tasks like the flash drives and gas analyzers much more difficilt. If that was BSGs intention then so be it, but part of me thinks this was a byproduct of trying to fix the flea market.

Here's my suggestion:

They already mark items specifically when they are required for a quest. Why not allow this to count as FiR for the purposes of turning in the quest item, but still don't allow players to sell that item on the flea market? Then the secure containers actually have a more useful purpose other than ammo and weapon parts you know you want to use later even if you die.

Feel free to tear me apart here. I'd love to see some debate/opinion on whether we think tasks are too difficult or not now. I consider myself decent at FPS games, but the RNG of finding a quest item plus the skill based requirement of being able to make it out alive

Legit I didn't even know I owned this game 5 days ago, but I've probably had it for 3-4 years. I beat the elite 4 yesterday and I'm ready to complete my dex! Also if anyone would mind telling me my safari and encounters I'll be on all night so you can see all 3 pokes.

Pretty much title.

I believe its 600xp or 10 minutes survived to not get a run-through.

I like all the changes added to the wipe so far. One thing I'm not a huge fan of though is the added incentive for people to exit camp due to FIR only being applied if you survive. Just run to your extract as fast as you can. Wait for someone else to do all the work for the whole raid. Kill them and walk out safely 20 seconds later with virtually no risk.

I've already noticed it more on customs than ever before. Sucks big time to get an item you need for a quest. Shove it up your unbreakable ass. You've been kicking ass and taking names the whole raid. Just for you to die right before the finish line. Now you have a really pretty paperweight.

I love the changes to counter hatchlings/pistolings, but many of my friends struggle to extract most of the time. I had a survival rate of ~70% last wipe so I'm sure ill be generally ok, but for many of my friends the change will make some tasks virtual

My mom lied to me about who my dad was until I was 15 years old and across the world (in Spain.) I had told her repeatedly that I knew that my stepdad wasn't my dad and both my mom and step dad told me to pay for a paternity test and that I'd see that I wasted my money. Then when I have family issues and get sent to Spain to live with my grandma and I have to have my birth certificate to apply for school, my aunt tells me that my Mom is going to call me and has something very important to talk to me about. So I replied "is she finally going to tell me that M(my stepdad) is not my father?" And my aunt proceeds to go "how the heck did you know that???" I have two half sisters on my mom's side that I look nothing like and I could just tell from how people treated me. It later came out that I have a brother and sister that live in Germany. I did get to know my dad before he passed away and I have a relationship with my brother and sister but I still feel like I got robbed of my rel

Just an idea...

Items that are for quests that are needed to be found in raid should retain FiR status if used in gamma. It should ONLY retain FiR for the quest, not flee. This would make the grind for found in raid quest items a bit easier, while also keeping the FiR Flee Market free of hatchling excrement.

Let me hear your thoughts.

Pretty much the Headline. I don't get why, when you Barter with traders, the game chooses random items, if you do the fill all. If you buy 10 non FiR Items to barter and already have 3 of them for a FiR Quest, why in the world does the game take any random item you have there.

Make "Auto-Fill" on Barter items so that it always prefers non FiR items over FiR items. That would be a really really nice QoL improvement.

Now I'd watch that.

very curious to hear about it

I play Reserve a ton, since the wipe there is about 10% of the combat as prior, and virtually nothing after about 10 - 12 minutes of the raid start.

People are getting their shit and getting out as fast as possible since you won't retain an FIR status on containers. The new FIR change has made it way too risky to stay and play, it's made exiting a raid as fast as possible the best option now.

I have noticed two things that are sticking out like a sore thumb now: people are leaving raids extremely quickly and engaging much much less in firefights now. Runner have gone up dramatically.

I am also noticing a massive amount of not only hatchet runners, but now they are just hiding for 10 minutes then leaving. IMO this is so much worse because before you could at least kill them and get the xp and a kill form it. In about 60 raids since the wipe I have probably found 15 PMC's just hiding in rooms, several clearly just left their keyboard as well to do other shit while time ticks do

Something needs to change . I think FoR change is good for the Flea Market but not for quests.. it's really awful. I can't progress at all.

View Poll

I've been using the images that are going around for all the items that I should keep. It's superhard to keep track of it. I find myself wanting to just ctrl-f and find the item but being a picture, you just have to browse for the item until you see it. And I've missed it several times (sold all my NIXXOR lenses :( )

I've added a complete list of both to https://www.tarkov-helper.com/ trying to make this place a single source of information for your Tarkov Needs :)

I also want to remind you all about the Ammo filter. You can filter by Vendor level which is superhelpful when setting up your loadout.

Take care all and good luck Escaping Tarkov, I hope tarkov-helper helps you with just that :)

Now, many people have been complaining about keys, or ammo, or loot in general, but here I’m talking about one specific type of item:

The random weapon part you need for that one quest that normally isn’t worth picking up.

If you look at the prices for weapon parts that are required for Gunsmith quests, you’ll notice that many of them are extremely expensive! Shotgun chokes could be sold for over 40,000. The handguard for the AKS 74u needed for Gunsmith pt 2 is also over 100,000 roubles.

Of course, you can argue that early quest items will always be inflated, and that it’s normal, however the FIR restriction has made it much worse.

See, what would happen before was that players would buy from the traders to sell for a premium and profit, and the price would gradually decrease because there would be far more of that item available to sell than buyers. Now that only found in raid items are sellable, many players may see these seemingly random parts and not pick them up not knowing th
