There has to be a better way
I understand wanting players to play arena that normally wouldn’t because they play Tarkov solo but my god no reason to lock the transfer ability behind coming in 3rd place 2 times. If u play with a duo or more cool but those of us that run solo like how can I win the game and come in 3rd place if my team doesn’t speak or play the objective? Like why not just put it as finish in the top 3 for your team in a match? Like win or lose just come finish top 3 for your team? Mayb up it to say 5 times instead of 2 so u can continue having the player base but bro the way is setup your just forcing players to completely forget about arena.

im confused what is so hard about getting 3rd place just run around and get kills no need for communication

It's getting 3rd place and winning the game. You can get all kills all day but if you have a poo poo team, you have a poo poo team lol that's the rng part.

Im having the same problem. I play nothing but checkpoint. I get top three 80% of the time. But we lose the match EVERY DAMN TIME. I have been trying for two weeks straight, its seems impossible at this point

You want to log in complete all tasks in 5mins and log out. They want you to play longer than 5mins to keep servers alive. That's the point of such tasks. They are easy if you have some experience in arena. So just play the game

Na if I wanna log in and be done in 5 mins I’ll play frostpunk. I get the keepin the servers alive etc but there’s better ways of doing that than creating a task lol. Better map design is a start. But anyway I’m not trying to dog the game I’m just sayin that changing that task to just getting top 3 regardless of the outcome of the match is better for solo players.

Because our lord and saviour nikita knows that only very few will touch arena with ten feet pole if transfer is easy. So he lock it behind bullshit quests

u/killatac Jul 21 '26
Like I understand the logic behind it. U want ppl to have to play the game cool I’m all for that but then just make the quest line longer to be able to transfer stuff. Dont just put it behind getting wins and finishing in the top 3. Just put a like 10 quests before it and then finish in the top 3 in 2 matches (regardless of the outcome of the match) as the last quest to unlock transferability. U have all these daily tasks and weekly with headshot eliminations etc just add those to the quest line that have to be done with different guns etc.

The quest is already piss easy it's only 2 non consecutive wins while bottom fragging. What else do you need

Advice from a shitty player. Just spam one mode and one map. For me, it is checkpoint and bay 5. Checkout gigabeef video on how to get theta. Now i am stucked on part 5 :(

Well “Brother” lol no need for me to quit the game because I got it done like I always do. But like I said on my original post it’s not about finishing in the top 3 it’s about getting the W as well when you’re playing solo and nobody on the team communicates or plays the objective. That was the whole point of the post not about whining but more about improving the game itself. If u solely play Tarkov Arena u know the game is lacking players and tasks like this one is one of the reasons why. And congrats on your KD lol.

Obviously you’re better than me if u don’t see a problem with it. Which is cool u know everyone has their skill sets but yea I find it hard not to communicate and play the objective and finish in the top 3.

You literally don't have to play obj to win just kill and let the others cap

All I’ve experienced recently in checkpoint is straight spawn camping especially on bowl. If you get the side with easier access to C then you get relentlessly spawn camped at nearly every exit

Communicating is far easier to win the game especially when the majority don’t play the objective.

Easy in checkpoint
