PS: don't.
I know the colours are prettier but you can just stop at a lvl 2 stock for most things unless you have a reason. Some recoil compensation is not worth the extra ADS and equip/unequip time in a game where things die this fast (especially if it's a semi automatic that you're going to aim before shooting each of the two to three bullets you need).

Lightweight stock on the Ferro is a must, and the only thing to put on the fucker besides a silencer for pvp.

it also is a must for the Ospery and effectively lets you quick scope.. you can actually fire with 100% accuracy far before the zoom is over, because the ADS is so fast that once it shrinks completely its good to go, letting you hipfire across the map (well hipfire in the process of ADS'ing) with a fucking Sniper Rifle in a third person game.

its also a must to change the reticle to the two circles, as it lets you know precisely and accurately when you are done ADSing and just how much bloom you have.

interesting chart, weird that even the legendarys cant one shot headshot, i wonder if the reason the info on the two legendarys is missing is because the person who made this doesnt have them. i read something about needing to kill either the matriarch or queen to get them but i also saw something about how they made them just a random drop for stella montis and i dont know which is the truth, does anyone here have them? this chart seems to point to the fact that the bobcat is either just slightly better than the stitcher or atleast on par due to it needing more shots to kill but shooting faster.

the Aphelion has insane TTK if.. you land headshots.. on a two burst rifle.
so max out its vertical recoil negation, just like the Arpeggio, it basically lacks compensation all together, and all you care about is vertical recoil, its effectively a souped up Arpeggio, longer range, better against arc, and overall a good gun, that just has one tiny little problem.. each one will cost you a Matriarch Core.

The Equalizer has alright TTK and effectiveness in PVP, nothing great, it is however, THE BEST Anti-Arc weapon in the game, and the most ammo efficient for pure Arc killing.. 50 rounds for each energy clip and energy clips stacks of 5, shreds armor plating off all Arc, the God weapon for taking them on, I have no idea why people try to rat people using it.. those players would never, ever use the damn thing themselves since all they do is Rat.

The Jupiter is a sniper rifle that has perfect aim, infinite range, and does the most damage of the Snipers, but it will not one shot (unless their shield is broken, then it will), because its just a Sniper, and a very flashy one, its..not worth using.. its pretty cool though.

I'm fucking addicted to this game, guys....

I was running medic and was so close to downed guy and when I was about to defib his sorry ass he went downside. Had nothing good on his freeload out. I rarely see free load outs on passive these days.

It's a fun game. I'm really enjoying the PvE aspect if only teams worked well for PvE. Only had 3 total passive teams in my total playthrough. I'm just running to loot now to finish projects and finally reset. :(
 
I finally got bored of pve and have been loading into stella montis all day and trying to kill people with free loadouts, despite the fact that i die most of the time its more fun than any teamdeath match or free for all gungame ive played in the last few years, fucking peak. only problem is now all my lobbys are filled with hostile players so i probably wont be able to go back to pve unless they crumble and add a pve only gamemode.

don't shoot first + die a lot to the hostile players and engage only in PVE / looting.

You can also just load into matches with nothing and hit the surrender button in the pause menu. I did that for 4 matches in a row a few weeks ago and it sent me to friendly lobbies (I was in shoot on sight lobbies beforehand). Ended up finishing all my quests and also getting a few matriarch reactors with no pvp.

i did this probably ten times while trying to stream snipe dsp and i dont really know if it had an effect because i instantly started shooting people in my next few games so i dont really know,i guess ill test it sometime because there is no way im doing matriarch in a hostile lobby
 
The amount of times I've seen raiders get downed near an extraction lift only to die by the terminal is a very sad affair. Also dibs on your stuff.

I try my best to not PVP unless I get shot at first (unless it's Montis which case I'm 90% expecting to get shot at). I'm not sure if this is the case but If the aggressive matchmaking counts you acting in self defense as a sign of aggression than that is fucking retarded.

Anyways from my experience and to help any other player is that I found the best way to tell who is a potential rat.

The big one is how they communicate and what gear they have. If they are using a microphone than the chances of them trying to kill you goes drastically down since it's easier for rats to rat if they act like a blank slate.

If someone has epic/legendary gear they also tend to not cause an issue since they rather not have the off chance they get caught off guard by ARC or smart players and lose their good shit. Most of the raiders with that type of gear tend to do events that requires co-operation like the queens and matriarchs so the last thing they need is someone else's stuff when the main prize is in front of them.

If someone helps you deal with enemies than the chances of them being a rat also go down since almost all rats will take this chance to take shots at you when you are busy dealing with drones or other arcs. Naturally anyone who revives you or heals you is automatically trustworthy.

If someone emotes not to shoot at them and they aren't using the standard common weapons and use rare and above, it is more likely they aren't going to start shit though this is no guarantee so best to keep an eye on them at times when you are facing your back to them. I say rare because free loadout raiders can pick up uncommon weapons at any point during the match.

As for everything else always be on your guard and have your camera on them at all times while avoiding arcs. This goes for anyone using common weapons even if they emote not to shoot as I've had two experiences of leaving myself exposed and got backstabbed for my troubles when I wasn't looking.

Also very important thing to remember is campers at extraction lifts. They will wait in the bushes or behind objects and catch you off guard when you aren't expecting it. Even if there is literally 2 to 1 minutes left, they will still wait and try to kill anyone who is trying to escape. Best way to tell if there is one is if there any bodies near the lift as any raider with a brain wouldn't be standing next to the lift where arcs will see them. They could be downed raiders done in by arcs though so best option is to scout the place.

And lastly rats don't try take on groups of people so being surrounded by people benefits you and other players. Well I say they don't but I have seen one rat try to kill another player when they just finished off the queen. Naturally every player who helped destroy the queen nearby went after the rat like a swarm of angry bees.

As for how I dealt with rats. If I'm indoors, I just throw showstoppers and run away into rooms with doors, place a jolt mine and any other mines or a trigger nade I have on me on the side of the door and try and feign vulnerability on the microphone like I'm panicking that I have little to no ammo and I don't have shield recharges. Like a fly to manure, they take the bait and get fucked when they run through the door.

I have met a bunch of cool people who I've added as friends throughout my solo experience. I met up with a German dude who I helped along and we decided to do duos and we got tons out of it. We somehow managed to find 4 bobcat blueprints during the locked gate key event, even one outside the actual gate in a trash can which is just insane luck.
 
the number one rule, above all others, shoot niggers and baclava wearers, always, they will rat you, and they will laugh at you after, don't be a victim, kill them first, if sheriffs come after, so be it.
 
If you're worried about the aggression algorithm it only takes about 5 pacifist runs to reset. Tested it in Stella the other night and it doesn't take long at all to reset back to Looting Simulator lobbies.

also the turban-looking skin and the samurai one.
and as they add more just follow the rule of asking yourself: would a normal person wear this? Or would it only be picked by either tarkov/rust players(/streamer audience members) and/or people who want to be seen wearing it while they loudly huehue into the mic over your corpse?

I've had people rolling around and still getting anvil head shots on multiple people in succession even involving the nanonsecond someone's head came around the corner.

tons of people escaping out of bounds and blasting you with Ferros too.
 
I like the nonaggressive instances because I enjoy helping others and giving away blueprints more than shooting people. I killed enough raiders, now I just want to defib n gift n shoot Clickers.
 
Shoot at me in the game and we'll find out who's weak, hole. I prefer not having to kill other players, I didn't say I won't. I like helping downed players and sending Clickers to refurb heaven.
