    Loaded in to Ground Zero for daily task (kill 12 scavs). Level 6 armor, geared to the brim. As soon as the AI spawned I got shot from 3 directions, went inside buildings and circled to another side of the map. They didnt stop chasing me and somehow managed to get the boss to chase me too. It total I was swarmed at emercom by at least 7 of them, a mix of PMC and Boss/Guards judging by the kills I got. They were pushing me through grenades, didnt run away just kept running towards me, killed a few with nades and the rest just ran next to me and executed me point blank. It wasnt their aim that bothered me, it was the suicidal aggression!

The NPC should not know where I am after I go inside a building and come out the other end. I was more than 70 meters away from them, there is no sound cue to give my position away, they simply followed me around the building knowing where I was at all times. This has to be fixed. The bots having Aimbot is how they function that is fine. But breaking line of sight and sound should disengage them. The ESP targeting though walls is bullsh*t.

    in regards to armor and dieing. i typically run a t3 aramid plate carriar. covers chest, back, sides by default with aramid. then i add t5 ceramic side plates and buy aluminum t4 front and back plates. then if i find some ceramic t5 plates in the wild i swap to those. 18 slots with a weight of 6.2kg with average t5 front, back and side coverage. survived lots of hits that i normally would have died to. arms go fast naturally but so far have yet to get a red chest.

There were 2 pmcs to fight immediately. After backing out of the garage to regroup, had to down 3 more scavs. Inside Terragroup HQ even more raiders and scavs outside the main entrance and everyone was super aggressive. Wouldve brought different kit in if id known they were gonna be out for blood like that.

    People say things like the armor is bugged, or they die too fast. With the new update, you gotta know some key things about certain chest rigs and armor carriers not fully covering thorax or sides. Look for rigs with T3 soft armor that covers all of the thorax, like the Osprey (P) rig, or Gen4 armor. Gigabeef did a great tierlist breakdown and explanation of the new armor system as he talks about every rig, but the video is mainly PvP focused so keep that in mind. If you learn about the armor, you'll die a LOT less. Also why the PvE ballistic T4 facemask is going for like 3mil. It's meta against those lower jaw face shots random scavs might bop you with on occasion. Also a little tip for most PMC AI. DON'T engage from a distance, unless you can significantly outrange them, or they'll laser you. If you can get in close, their AI is a lot more forgiving and you can usually just bop them in the skull with a pistol. IF you have to engage from a distance (for a quest or somethin) try to get the 1 tap or outrange their AI from being able to engage back. Best spots I've found for these quests is Customs Big Red, you can look down at RUAF extract and usually there will be 3 PMC that spawn there you can engage and take out without them shooting back. Or on Woods, sitting up by military checkpoint and aiming at scav house, they wont hit you from that far. The mid range is where they will eat you alive. Raiders, Bosses, and Rogues are a different story though. There's optimized paths for almost every single one that plenty of other creators have covered. I'm sure if you got stuck on the Lighthouse tasks like me, you'll have to reference one or keep dying to some BS from miles away. Only think i wish is that PvE server length is increased because Woods and Lighthouse feel too short. You can really only hit 1 large landmark and loot in full depth, then the raid hits 10mins and you have to rush to extract or get an MIA.

    So far it made no difference for me. No matter what gear I put on the pmcs are random. Meaning that sometimes they are low lvl, sometimes high, but rarely actually mixed. You either get the high or low end of pmc levels, cannot remember a raid, where I had below lvl 10 guys paired with lvl 50+ guys. Only thing that is true, that if their level is higher, they have better ammunition, like BP and stuff. But otherwise, gear is mostly the same through all levels, guns too. Also their reaction time/aim is significantly higher/better at lvl 50+... These damn aimbotters

About 30 seconds into a raid there was AI PMC's across the street probably 75 yards+. 2 seconds later, Tom Brady spawned into the map and threw a touch down worthy grenade over a set of stairs so DAMN LASERED IT WENT INTO MY FACE SHIELD and instantly killed me. Surrounded by 3 Mid level geared friends i died, it literally clipped into my face shield like a fucking jump scare. I wish this was a joke.

    wow, good research brother! do you think they will have friendly scav extracts eventually? i think a good way to implement it would be to have a scav sit at the extracts sometimes that is friendly and you pay him like you would with the cars, and they can not be there as well. maybe make it more rare but i feel like it would be a simple way to implement it

    I've been able to co-op exfil on Reserve, Interchange, Shoreline, Lighthouse, and Streets by going in at night tagged and cursed with a loud pistol and attracting a scav to the exfil zone. It can be tricky to survive with them in the zone, but you can shoot to influence where they go and use cheese spots in the exfil zones to stay safe. Example: shooting a scav will generally cause them to reposition, shooting while they're still pathing towards you can make them go to where the shot happened if you need them in a specific spot and they never see you. On Reserve, you can climb onto the concrete wall to get behind the gate in a corner to stay safe while waiting. On Lighthouse, you can get behind the boxes in the corner. Sometimes, especially on Shoreline, you might have to travel out and aggro scavs from further away and leash them to the exfil zone. Ground Zero may be possible with good luck, but Woods is basically impossible unless you make them run out of ammo first and then get extremely lucky with their AI. Good luck!

    I don't think it's dependent on what gear you bring that defines difficulty. I think each "pmc" has their own stats, so some might be more perceptive, and some may be more aggressive and push up on you. There are also ones that camp. It is super annoying though when they see you from 200m away through a bush.

    The problem with stuff like this is that there's too many variables and the AI in EFT is ... Not great. So many times will the AI just do really weird and dumb things. We've all seen it/had it happen. One AI does something ridiculous and stupid. Whether it's just running into a wall, running straight PAST you, whatever... To another AI just beaming you across the map. See, in game dev.. When you're making your AI... At least when it comes to Unity and Unreal... You'll have a bunch of nodes that kind of lists what an AI can choose to do at any time. And with Tarkov there's A LOT of things that the AI can do. From patrolling, to looting, eating, healing, going after nearby audio cue's (Like gunfire, nades, voice lines)... It's actually very complex and because of that... The AI sometimes makes really stupid decisions. Personally, I doubt EFT has anything in the PVE mode where the less gear you have the easier it is. Simply because I've had several raids where I was CHADED THE FUCK OUT, and they were the easiest raids of my life - and honestly, I'm not even sure if there WERE PMC's. For example, my last Factory that I JUST did (I had a quest to exit factory 4 times), like 5... 10 minutes ago. I killed 5 or 6 pmc's. 1 bear, the rest were usec. But the raid I had RIGHT before that (My gear didn't change which btw: was a pretty decked out M4, fast MT (w/ trooper cause lol), thor IC (The lvl6 thicc boy with shoulders, groin and neck protection), blackjack 50... Because I've just been using that all day. But the Factory run I did RIGHT BEFORE THAT (Mind you, nothing changed whatsoever)... Literally only had 1 pmc. Now, I'm not sure if maybe the PMCs get stuck. Maybe they're all bunched up in a corner or something weird. Who knows. But that's the problem tbh. It's so weird and random. Edit: I've killed Tagilla twice so far. The two times I've killed him, his RPK has ALWAYS had PS ammo and I sold his AVS and don't remember what plates he had so rip.

  • @HEMAH777

    Scavs may not be op, but they're freaking relentless. Apparently they also have radar since every time I kill one, stop to heal up, fight the PMC's in the area, etc. I end up killing about fifteen scavs in IDEA alone, with like 2.5 minutes to get out of raid without having been able to move around the map and do the task or even attempt it. Scavs need to bunk off a bit, PMC's are okay, but dang the scavs are just relentless. Can't even loot the first kill before the next one comes running at you.

    Yeah the bosses are usually what laser me and my buddy when we play together. Although we've also been hit with the classic Tarkov scav one-tap a few times. Buddy got one-tapped by a shotgun scav using lead slugs, triple-hit bug hit through the torso armour and killed him before he could shoot more than twice. Similarly, scavs and pmcs alike will easily snap to your unprotected hitboxes if your within 10 meters, so be careful when approaching scavs/pmcs that close. Buddy was wearing a t6 armour and t5 helmet and a scav with a pistol one-tapped him to the jaw with PSO.
