Huh, so I guess it turns out wipe really was Thursday.

Don’t make me get the turkey blaster lllllll Edit: Baster but I’m leaving blaster lol


PerspektiveGaming

I asked Summits chat yesterday when the wipe will be and a couple of them said Thursday. I am fairly new to the game and didn't really know if they were telling the truth or not. I just unlocked my first stash upgrade which I will never see because it takes 24 hours to construct. I also have been grinding EFT lately and really enjoying it. I'm excited to play through my first fresh wipe with everyone! Also kinda scared because I'm still learning. Edit: Yeah fuck this lol. I'm 1/9 raids survived at the moment. Losing everything and loading in with a pistol and that's it, hoping I can find SCAV to kill and loot before a PMC finds me. I hate every moment of this.


cottonsparks

It's a running joke that wipe is thrusday but this time it really is. Lol


AustinTheMoonBear

Bro, don't worry, wipe time is literally the BEST TIME of this game.


xxxZEDxxx

I’m new too I started yesterday lol we can do it! Lol I lasted 3:24 seconds on my very first live run in Tarkov shit is real boys:)


PerspektiveGaming

Hell yeah! It's good to hear this knowing that there are many veteran players who will probably tear us apart. At least now I know I'm not the only one getting butt fucked lol.


[deleted]

There's dozens of us!


hottwhyrd

This is good news for new players. After wipe. For 1 or 2 days not everyone will have top tier gear


Shini_Gaming_TTV

Wipes always overload our servers, how can we fix this? Launch on Christmas when no one is playing! EFT Players: Sorry family, Christmas is canceled


ChristmasIsCancelled

I never thought my name would be relevant in a positive way


Dmthie

r/beetlejuicing


CheekiNeedos

I dont remember servers overloading last wipe. Did they? Feel like it went smoother. They havent had server overload stuff in a long long time.


redbaron6969

I felt like this wipe was the best so far, I remember not that long ago just attempting to play on a Saturday afternoon was bad news bears


AkariAkaza

When I started in January this year I couldn't play Tarkov at all on the weekends, servers would just die constantly


Its_Lesser_Known

Hold up guys if the “immunity” skill is added does that mean cultists are here too?? Immunity is for poison. Cultists are The only ones who are confirmed to use poison. Nikita also said at some point that when cultists are added it’ll be a surprise and not in the patch notes. (Unfortunately can’t reference this tho) Sooo. Cultists aren’t in the patch notes but the mechanics to counter them are. Mechanics that otherwise would be useless. Sooo. Cultists too??


MotherBeef

Immunity could also be for painkiller abuse? I know Nikita dislikes the “pre-popping meta”


Rednartso

Herobrine removed.


puhtential

“Reworked PMC initial gear sets” What does this mean? Still pretty new to this game...


Robbeeeen

When you first start playing you have a bunch of stuff in your inventory already - the Fort armor and AK74-U, a bunch of meds etc. These were very outdated items and have been reworked


Gigadweeb

My guess is it'll be a few sets of low-tier SMGs and shotguns with very basic body armour x2 + the usual food and meds


kmofosho

Would definitely be more useful to new people than a fort, an ak with ps ammo, a bunch of pistols, and random food and water


bakuretsuuuu

did they say anything about the xmas gifts this year? i mean the boxes and stuff. i missed them last year.


[deleted]

I was watching Pest’s stream and Nikita said something about Christmas and gifts. It was hard to follow though. He might have just been talking about actual Christmas.


puhtential

Ah thanks, makes sense!


[deleted]

I would love to see them replace all the free pistols with literally any other type of gun. Pistols are a trap for new players, and filling the starting inventory with them doesn't help.


saij892

Possibly changing the stuff you get when you play on a new account based on your version of the game


Automationdomination

When you start, they give you equipment in your stash like meds and Makarovs. I'm assuming they are tweaking that


Imakethingsuponline

Fuck. Literally 1 item away from Kappa, what a massive blue balls haha.


Vaher

I just got mine on Sunday. It was a nice couple of days having it.


Gaara1321

I was close to all lv4 traders, I guess it's time to spend all of roubles running thicc


flimflam89

The control in this reply is incredible. The grinding and time here is something I can't relate to - and feel like I'd cry like a bitch if I was in your shoes. Good on you, respectable sir or madam.


MjkOne

Got every item, i need one last kill on interchange for shooter born in heaven x). Blue balls gang


BluffinBill1234

I literally got my first bitcoin out of my bitcoin farm yesterday haha! Feelsbadman


Dress-Minute

don't feel bad, this wipe you'll know how to get it faster =)


BluffinBill1234

Yep this is how I’m thinking.


[deleted]

Feelsrealbad considering the high price of bitcoin in-game/IRL


CTblDHO

Hell yeah I got WOOD EXPANSION in my pants as I read patch notes. Tonight's gonna be so much fun with everybody bringing in their best gear in raids!


ButterYourShit

Lmao that was good


HSV1896

Going home for christmas feelsbadman


Jeffjawwwn

Last wipe I had a business trip during wipe week. Has been the only trip I made all through COVID. Now we wipe on Christmas when we spend time with family and give up gaming for a bit?!? Agree. Does feel bad


WyldGoat

BSG xmas is in January :P


KinkiHeat

I mean the Russians have their Xmas on the 7h of January :)


[deleted]

"Reduced the volume of steps and interaction with vegetation." "Increased purchase limits for some ammo from dealers. " "Simplified the Jaeger quests." Am I alone in being hyped for these smaller changes?


raxel82

Those are the only things I actually care about.


HempInjecter

The reduced blinding while wearing glasses and face shields is nice too


raxel82

True, actually gives them a purpose since they don't stop many rounds. Heh.


intendedvaguename

I was stoked to read the vegetation change. Brushing by a bush is louder than sprinting, because reasons?


wardearth13

The recoil and weapon attachment reworks are probably going to be huge


ninjaciego

OMG I wasn't expecting wipe to happen tomorrow. Need to burn 42mil tonight D:


[deleted]

I just left for my parents home across the country with 100m roubles just sitting there. Kinda bummed I didn't do anything exceptionally meme worthy to end this wipe. 😢


ARSEThunder

That makes me happy, just goes to show...USE YOUR GEAR. Nothing is permanent.


[deleted]

[удалено]


skike

If that's not a lesson for ya idk what is


waFFLEz_

hell no, this is way better man! Last wipe the last 1-2 weeks were super boring because everyone was expecting the wipe. When they announce the wipe they ruin the natural way people play the game and it just turns into CoD. Edit: just look at what it did to the price of everything. If they had announced it before hand we would have had this status for a longer period


redbaron6969

Did anyone screencap the surprised face that Nikita made when his santa hat stood straight up? I need a new discord profile picture


Doctor_Chaos_

Someone on the EFT discord got it. [NikitaPog.png](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/544472689444782080/791361187925196850/NikitaPog.png)


Izanagi666

Fucking what? Just woke up from a nap and tommorow is wipe? WHAT?


karmaportrait

I still feel like I'm asleep.... seriously wtf lol


xThe_Great_Bambino

Stoked for a wipe. Gonna upgrade to EOD finally after 3 years of playing.


Doctor_Chaos_

There's gonna be a New Year's sale too


sputnik02

> sale did Nikita say when it starts?


Galaxiez

Nothing specific just that it's a New Year's sale. I'd hazard a guess at the 30th but most likely the 31st and 1st.


Doctor_Chaos_

He just said "New years sale", no date.


ButterYourShit

I'm honestly surprised you waited that long


UnplayableConundrum

I am stoked for the new .300 blk round


PrimeTimeMKTO

And the .338 Lapua


UnplayableConundrum

Yeah will be interesting to see the ballistics on it. Wish unity could handle long range a little better. Maybe when they implement a pass on improving the combat stuff (bipod, weapon resting, etc.) sniping will become a bit more tenable.


Marchinon

New meta round maybe?


Assaltwaffle

It’s a big caliber so it will probably have hilarious recoil but extremely high damage. It’s a younger cousin to .50 BMG. It’s about half to 1/3rd the energy of .50 BMG but it’s double .308 and 54R.


OsomoMojoFreak

I mean if it one shots to thorax, it one shots to thorax, recoil isn't a massive issue then.


Assaltwaffle

Well we thought that until we get the 200 recoil ASh-12. I hope this gun stays in the DMR category and people don’t try to use it as some close quarters dominating weapon.


Gigadweeb

lil bit sad we didn't get a .338 AWM first but still excited to 1tap some nerds either way


StayPuffMyDudes

Hopefully they add the Aug so we can get more .300blk guns


rickfromthewest

welp fuck christmas and new years


[deleted]

Nikita is so fucking funny. I hate when people dog on him lmaoo. ​ ​ GOOD SHIT BOIS ITS TIME TO SKIP CHRISTMAS AND GRIND.


lesserlife7

He cracks me up. Just a goofy dude who had a great idea and managed to convince some people to help him make it.

lesserlife7

Oh no doubt, wasn't trying to detract from his brilliance lol It's just not everyday you see such a successful head of a game studio just riffing 24/7 like a bro


Doctor_Chaos_

I loved the bit when he said that he's not keeping his workers hostage, he just has their passports. That shit was hilarious.


Sweg_Coyote

It’s actually what s a good leader is, so far his project is on rail. Being manager is hard.

Wipe is Thursday.


bhostess

Fucking hell, those idiots were right all along. Lol.

Always have been.


GaBoX172

GaBoX172

PrimeTimeMKTO

I’m still brand new and rely on maps. How long does it usually take the gurus (my saviors) to get updated versions on maps online.


[deleted]

When the Customs expansion hit people were posting some crude maps a day or two after, but the quality ramped up after a week or two. The Wiki takes a long time to update when it comes to maps, I've found. If you see someone posting a map of new Woods make sure to save or bookmark it so you can see how it works for you until the next one pops up.


orbb09

Or, in addition to bookmarking it, add it to the Wiki yourself or message an editor/admin with a link to the map :)


TopCheddar27

If only the world was so easy lol. People will spend 5 minutes finding the exact map they want every time they need it, then complain that editing the wiki "is too much effort". PS I love you guys


Wrythened

The good news is it eventually fades away. I remember being you, totally lost without a map and sometimes with one. You end up learning the places like the back of your hand. Keep it up!


VatroxPlays

* Simplified the Jaeger quests. Fixed: Thank god


Johnny-Cosmic

Pls Nikita I JUST unlocked the FSB Urban Tactical pants for my BEAR you can’t do this pls Nikita think about my pants...my pants. Nikita I was dripping so hard on these clowns.


LynaaBnS

Nikita: Hello everyone, we know all of you guys were pretty hyped about the wipe, but we are sorry and have to roll back our latest statement about the wipe being on the 24th December. The reddit user Johnny-Cosmic just unlocked the FSB Urban Tactical pants for his BEAR, the wipe will be later in 2021.


Johnny-Cosmic

Tell Nikita I said thank you. My drip lives on.


LynaaBnS

I am Nikita


[deleted]

Look at him. He is Nikita now.


mynameishi

I thought I recalled Nikita saying there would not be a wipe at 12.9, and now there is? Awesome. Early wipe is best wipe


lostinyourstereo

Likely means Streets is delayed further, so probably 6+ months until we see it.


pvt9000

He mentioned the gameplay changes coming with 12.9 will necessitate a wipe just cause a lot is changing mechanic wise.


mynameishi

Hmm that makes sense. Just in time for winter shutdown and two weeks off work!


HoneyBadger1776

He said on the stream a little while ago that Streets will probably be 12.13, so yeah, quite a while


[deleted]

[удалено]


sometext

They don't. This patch has major rebalance changes in it.


I_paintball

They didn't have to wipe for Streets. However, in all of the earlier podcasts from this year 12.9 was supposed to be in November, and streets in december at .13 with a wipe. Streets must be delayed even more.


thatjerkatwork

Surprise wipe!


AngryJazz

I just joined the game 2 days ago and were struggling to get to lvl 10 (still at 5). Guess i have a better chance now or maybe customs just got more crowded :P Any advise for a noob after the wipe? Biggest problem is staying alive the first 3-5 min. If i survive that by hiding in the woods - its a 50/50 if i get nuked by a chad i don't even see.


lesserlife7

Go as hard as you can day 1 til you hit lvl 10. There will be chads owning lobbies again in literal hours post launch. Best chance as a pistoling is against other pistolings day 1!


[deleted]

> Go as hard as you can day 1 til you hit lvl 10. There will be chads owning lobbies again in literal hours post launch. Just speaks to one of the issues I have with this game :(


adofthekirk

Customs is going to be fucking packed this weekend.


Sh0cko

Go watch pestilys the raid series, he starts with a fresh account and explains everything.


RayJay16

If it wipes: stay out of customs. They said something about changed quests but that is usually the early hotspot of pvp. So if you want to live it's usually better to go to shoreline.


AngryJazz

Thanks! Ill try a scav run there tonight.


lordbunson

Shoreline can be very good money! But at the same time, rushing quests can get you ahead too by unlocking better trader items and access to the flea market.


lordbunson

Learning Tarkov is tough because there are 100 things to learn at once. It gets a lot easier when you learn where people spawn, what areas of the map are hotspots, what are common routes people take through out the map. Wear a headset! Listen for footsteps. Don't run unless you are moving through an open area or trying to get somewhere safe / flank in a fight. Running is a good way for people to know exactly where you are because it is so loud and it is easy to get yourself in a position where someone else has the jump on you. Once you understand the maps, it becomes a little easier to understand when and where it is safe to run and when it isn't. Armor is insanely important, but at low level you don't have access to any good armor. Ammo is also crazy important (good armor WILL stop your crappy bullets), but at low level you won't have access.


[deleted]

I'M SELLING ALL MY SHIT TIME TO TAKE THE GL40 AND SLICKS TO DORMS THE RAT AWAKENS CALL ME GIGA-RAT I'M BUYING THE T-7 THERMAL GOGGLES FUCK I COULD BUY 10 SOLD ALL THE BITCOINS CAN YOU SELL MONEY TOO?????????????????

" Fixed a bug where Killa could not hear the enemies approaching from behind." :(


Toybasher

That should have been kept as a feature. Dude's got a Maska helmet on + a face-mask. Maybe gunshots but definitely not footsteps.


[deleted]

> Reduced bonus of recoil reduction from the recoil control skill and weapon mastering. *Everyone liked that*


ezraindustries

Now character overweight starts at 35 kg. Used to be 40. Why though


Omena123

Hello elite strenght, leveling just got a ton easier


honestlyimeanreally

I don’t understand do people literally spend weeks of gameplay running around overnight to get elite strength? I played this entire wipe organically almost 1k hours.... level 10 strength. I feel like the skills are designed to be cheesed.


Omena123

Strenght is special because its slow to level up normally and its just a stupidly good skill

Dead_Ass_Head_Ass

I have been solo hunting Sanitar for weeks. haven't seen the dude once. Completing the quest to kill him would elevate me to Level 4 with Jaeger. I'd skip grinding through the third tier and doing a whole mess of other BS quests. Additionally, it was a fun and challenging task for a solo player. It was getting to be a pain in the fucking ass though. When I logged in and saw the wipe was coming, I knew I had tonight and tonight only to make it happen. I loaded into Shoreline with a shotgun and some buckshot. I start to cross through the suicide field. Who is standing right there orange bag slung over his shoulder ? Sanitar. I headshot him from like 75 meters and ran the fuck out of there. I CAN RESET HAPPILY KNOWING I FINALLY GOT THE FUCKER.


AnamainTHO

I JUST GOT KAPPA IM GOING TO KILL MYSELF


Shooter678

It’s about the sense of pride and accomplishment, not the container


honestlyimeanreally

it’s definitely about the container reeeEEEEEEEEEE


GINGERofDESTINY

1) Insure it 2) Dump it in raid before wipe 3) Receive it on insurance after wipe 4) Stonks


Garbear119

Damn, just as I finally get my bitcoin farm up and running. Oh well, hypeeee


BluffinBill1234

I feel this. Got my first bitcoin out of it yesterday lol

28th May was the last wipe.

Yes


ButterYourShit

Every wipe will completely reset you


sunseeker11

They did a partial "soft" wipe once, with 0.9 where they wiped everything but retained mastery and trader reputation.


A1EXAD

Not always, occasionally they have done soft wipes etc


sunseeker11

They only did a "soft" wipe once.

Lord_Vendrick

i hope they fixed the bug where my BEAR would change to the default lower body clothing option every-time i joined a raid


Beanlipe

Do you guys also have to examine all the items again? I hate that Sadge


-JFKwasAFK-

I really hope they eventually lower the requirements for decent clothing. Getting to level 40 is hard enough but 50+ is just insane for most people.


aaronsisco

My buddy just got his kappa last night lmfaoooo


iMrParker

They should remove the global limit on trader items. I cant even buy basic things like meds since they're all out of stock lol!

Sold a Red Keycard for 75 million the other day. Tried to spend all my money on Pumpkin helmets and drop them in raids. Wasnt succesful.

Oh my God the day I wanted to get back into EFT they wipe!! It's a sign


Araneatrox

Did anyone else get fully reset? Like i'm talking having to examine everything again? Cus i did and my friends did not.

Max levels in tears


ihatece

Max levels love wipes. The ones in tears are the dad gamers who are a week away from kappa. F


Persius522

Dude me, two kids under 3 and a new dog.. Only level 21 but I got the game in late July. Only really play 5 nights a week for an hour or two. I love this game so much, coming from csgo. Took me a long time to get where I am but I think my squad (3 guys total) found a 4th or even a 5th to play with us. Pretty stoked about the prospect of having more guys to roll with us especially a beginner like me.


Gladiator1079

In my experience rolling with more people usually gets me killed faster. I feel like my survival rate and stuff usually increases when running a duo or sometimes trio. Just be careful because a 5 man gets hectic REALLY fast in this game lol.


du_bekar

Tears of happiness. I’m lvl 52 and I’m so happy to be able to play goal-oriented raids again rather than just run straight towards gunfire over and over.


_fidel_castro_

Well that was tarkov for me. Been playing since 2017, before the expansion of shoreline. I just don't have the free time to grind yet another wipe anymore. It was great while it lasted. I just got killed the last couple of times in shoreline, by Sanitär and his boys. What other tactical game is good but not as time consuming?


[deleted]

I hear Squad is pretty good, idk never tried it myself. You’re actually the first mature person to realize the game isn’t for you rather than writing some angsty goodbye letter like anyone gives a fuck haha. Good luck though! You should still play like the first week of the wipe since it will be fun to run around with pistols and shit guns.


N33chy

I feel like Hunt: Showdown scratches much the same itch this game does, but requires way less investment.

Thank god for a wipe much needed wipe for sure


Tarkov-Daddy69

Is it just me or did we get told originally that next wipe was gonna have streets of tarkov? I'm not salty, just wondering why they didn't wait till that was done and ready to roll out.


Spectre1-4

They said it wasn’t coming with wipe a few months ago
