Getting the Kappa is analogous to the episode about World of Warcraft from South Park, where after thousands of hours locked in a basement playing, and crapping in buckets while getting fat eating junk, Eric/Kenny/Kyle/Stan look at each other and wonder what to do after killing the most powerful player in the game... "now let's play WoW" - The art mimics life.

Might aswel go for kappa each wipe as you will force yourself into doing things in the game wich are out of your comfort zone. Achieving these goals makes you a better player. If you just hop on every once in a while to play with friends its not for you , but if you play a wipe serious and set some goals for yourself its achieveble for everyone.

Had the game for 3+ years. Was level 65 one of the wipes. Now I went for kappa, done all the tasks, just need a couple more levels and it’s been torture (especially with bosses) but it’s been another type of gameplay and I’ve enjoyed it.

As someone on their first wipe, the size of Kappa isn't what really mattered, it made the game fun by being forced into uncomfortable positions to learn the game. Now after Kappa if anything the game feels more stale without any objective barring doing Lightkeeper

Heard that

Sheef just did the stash delete 😂😂

I've had Kappa only twice. Once was as a standard account 3 years ago, and right after that I upgraded to EoD. The 2nd was this wipe, and I've barely played since I unlocked it.

I got mine for the first time just a couple days ago, it was a fun but stressful grind. As much as I hated it, I'll probably still go for it, I feel a lot more motivated with a proper end goal, I don't think I could play tarkov too long WITHOUT said goal.

So what goals would you recommend since you never said?

Thx for continuing to upload tarkov content at this troubling time.

man i thought it was just me getting those weird skeir quest

Ye ur right, idc bout kappa. Waiting for a p2w container thats bigger than gamma.

Kappa has always just taken so long so I’ve never attempted to even try so I feel like your right tbh, the three space I only cared for so I can fit two injector case and a sicc case with a grizzly which I prefer to use

A lot of quests are also just luck, I like to set Kappa as a goal despite only having just under 600hrs and being a full-time student just because I'm an over-achiever, and a lot of the quests I just brute-force run it down until I eventually get it done. Last wipe was my 3rd wipe and I really hit the quests the hardest I ever have, and I didn't even get close. I ended just over level 30 and in the middle of all of the lighthouse quests.

It’s definitely doable with a full time job. It’s my first wipe, I definitely play daily, probably about 8pm-midnight and I’m currently only 3 tasks away. This is also while sucking ass at the game. I have no idea how I did psycho sniper and the guide. Part of it might be because of the group I played with at the start only did quests, every raid was completing tasks, no looting or fun allowed. Side note, my reason for getting it is just to flex on my friends, never going for it again.

With the most recent armor changes could you do an armor plates tier list? Factoring protection, as well as weight and maybe what armors they can be used with?

I got kappa… you have to get kappa to be better… simple!

Last year I gave up 80% of the way on the suppressed scav shotgun quest in dorms

Omicron will be a 3x3+3x1 container and it will be in a new edition 100% or an expansion. Can't wait for EOD players to whine when their edition isin't the best in the game again istg like when they did with unheard. EOD is op asf with gamma, stash size, free rep, better guns, etc. Unheard comes out and people complain... now it costs normal players or new ones another 100$ to get the most op item in the game.

fastest sponsor plug i’ve ever seen in my life

Great video. I do enjoy having quests to focus on as it keeps me motivated. However, I have no desire to grind for Kappa. I do the quests that unlock gear and good ammo. Keep up with the Tarkov content!

Even though not that useful, I just like the goal of Kappa. Something to see and work towards and get rewarded for. They could reward me with a small can of tushonka but the point of achieving the goal is what i love

I started playing SPT, personal opinion - No more stress, anxiety and gear fear and AI PMC's are pretty decent with lots of behaviour customization and best thing -> NO CHEATERS!!!

I've got 5300 hours, I long ago discovered kappa is pointless. And getting it makes you hate the game, I'm currently level 54 so I it's not like it's out of my reach either

lol, Dad with a job here, just got Kappa this last week. Definitely a grind, but something I've wanted to do since starting many wipes ago. Doubt I'll ever do it again. You make a lot of good points, but it's hard to pick a goal sometimes. Kappa is an easy target to identify and work towards. Will probably do lightkeeper next wipe since I'm stuck on assessment part 1 right now and servers are basically dead.

then there is this one guy that already got 3rd kappa within this wipe lol

I heard someone say you should be able to skip quests with trader rep and personally think this is a great idea ofc your gonna have to pay a pretty penny to skip but at least speeds stuff up ip

first wipe ever for me and first didnt really push for kappa but got it anyways after i saw i got really close after getting to lightkeeper. took me like 1100 raids. next wipe im gonna try to speedrun it and see how fast i can get it compared to this wipe. for me its a fun challenge

Me and my group are firmly Kappa enjoyers. We play the game an unhealthy amount. This wipe we felt it was worth going for Kappa. The only quest we boosted was Psycho Sniper, that shit is torture. I love Sniping but hell nah I’m gonna kill 5 PMC’s without dying. XD

Somebody needs to make a video or guide of what quests are worth doing and where you can stop questing and what to do/ have fun with tarkov when you get there.

I did get kappa twice though (not recently) and then instantly stop playing. I feel like forcing me to have some structure and goofy challenges are what keep me playing. Even this wipe when I only played to lvl 32~33 and I come back at the very end I'm still playing Shooter Born and Setup just for the challenge or to get better at them.

I've always just enjoyed tarkov for what it is so I play every wipe as if I'm getting kappa even though I usually don't. I just enjoy having a goal/mission and very rarely go into a raid without one. I'm defnitely getting kappa this wipe. 4 more insomnia kills and an evasion armband, and I get the big bum. This wipe has just been so enjoyable with the recoil changes, progession changes, ect that I've actually played most days consistently this entire wipe so far. Normally I take several breaks per wipe, but this wipe just hit different lol.

Plot twist I put the grind in a few years ago and got it now idgaf abt anything I’m tarkov except pvp 😭😂😂

I've got kappa in pvp 3 times, most recent was last wipe. But i am only playing pve from now on so i can get it at my own pace.

I went for Kappa every time because I am objective oriented. Everything else felt completely pointless.

Large containers shouldn’t even exist.

Hardest quest at getting it for me is trying not to breakup with my girlfriend while trying to get it

This was my first real wipe and I put in almost 600-700 hours into the game. I previously played back in 2019 and 2020 casually and never hit level 15 (because I hated the learning curve). I am very, VERY close to achieving Kappa. I only have Psycho Sniper, kill Glukhar, kill the Goons, and find the 2 LEDX's for Crisis. But I decided to give up because Gray Zone warfare came out and I just could not be bothered anymore with my time. SBIH took a lot of my time and was the bane of my existence for a long time (although I did eventually complete it). I know I could push for Kappa and complete the last 4 quests if I really want to, but I choose not to. I miss playing other games lol. I'll get Kappa one day, just not this wipe. I'll end at level 48 this wipe :)

Only time I ever got kappa was when the whole lockdowns where going on ever since then I just never ever had the time to even try now it’s just too long or to repetitive to try

Its also an end goal for some till main release. Once i get it im playing games ive missed out on. Ive been jobless since november and barely put bout 3 hrs a day. Now that i work its less. Almkst got it though.

The biggest advantage of Kappa is that it teaches you how to do every single quest in the game. The vast majority of your xp will come from quests. Since high tier ammo and loot is locked behind quests and level, it is in your best interest to pursue something like Kappa that way you quickly level up and unlock high tier gear. “Playing the game normally” is actually a disservice and puts you in a hamster wheel where you’re constantly dying and buying in an endless cycle. With kappa, you have a clear progression goal and most of the quests required for kappa are needed to unlock high tier loot anyways.

@Kaspiderv2

youre better off just pursuing quests that unlock good items on traders/give said items to you over trying to complete everything.

I never got kappa, every wipe I like the game as long as I have some proper progress going on. And when I get the bitcoin miner running and have the red rebel for easier extracts in Reserve, I just get bored and stop playing. I need some constant small progress to keep me interested. Some 3 extra slots in my butt somewhere in the distant future doesn't matter for me. Also I like raids where I'm the underdog with bad equipment, solo and afraid to lose my gear. I like trying to get into a certain place to pick up an item and then don't want to lose it as I extract. As soon as I get far enough and I have stash full of rigs, helmets, guns, ammo and heals. I just don't feel like playing is worth it. I die, so what, pick up new gear and keep going. Lose quest item and all stuff again, no problem I'll just sell a couple of bitcoins and buy stuff.

At 850 raids, playing 1-4 hours a day about 5 days/week, I'm 16 quests away from Kappa. You're spot on about everything. I would like to get it this wipe, but I highly doubt I'll attempt it ever again. I like doing quests but some of them are the opposite of fun. The only case I see for Kappa is the challenge factor.

Never went for Kappa. I never had the time to play the game in the way it requires you to play to get Kappa in any meaningful time. There's also a skill issue. I played this game on an antiquated toaster of a computer up until a year ago. I was never able to use scopes with magnification or engage in CQC without my frames dropping to single digits. It severely limited my EFT experience. About a year ago I got a beast of a PC and can finally enjoy some frames with my Tarkov. After over five years at the game, this is the first wipe I was playing and having fun from the get go. That is, until real life dragged me away from it. Picked it up again just before all the streamers and You Tubers threw a tantrum over the Unheard edition and have been having fun with it again. It's pointless to pursue Kappa unless you play with that in mind since wipe day. Hell, I'm purposefully ignoring quests that are annoying and just having fun with the game instead.

Getting level 42 is goated, kappa such a waste of time
