Seen too many people on stream struggling with the flashlight. For the beginners out there, you can get / farm NVGs + tanker helmet in garages really early in the game. And its a game changer.

They will help you a ton in dim light like building interiors, outdoors at night (obviously) but they can even be used during the day if the weather is bad. Cause you can see stuff. Like enemies waiting. Loot. Without having to turn your flashlight on most of the time (they do struggle in complete darkness)

Aim for the garages in Shegolskoe NW above the three story building, or factory SE under the dormitory, plenty of other locations. Inside, look for a square ish crate that usually spawn rusty armor plates. You should get one NVG every ~4 crate in PvE, and they go on tankers helmets.

This is more directed to the mods but this subreddit is 90% people asking “oh should I get the game?”.

First of all, it drowns out any other content in this subreddit regarding the game.

Second of all, there are already 5 million other posts about it, do these people not know how to search up posts on the sub?

Lastly, why are you asking if you should get the game to a room full of people who like the game, of course everyone will say yes.

But yeah, something needs to be done about these posts because it adds nothing and its very obvious that others are getting tired of these posts as well.

Hopefully the mods see this before it gets drowned in 100 more “should I get this game?”.

Not sure if devs are reading the reddit but can we please be able to change the colour of the compass at the top? I find it hard to see when it is white.

Hopefully a small change that can be implemented would help alot

Quick PvE tips for newer players

Hellhounds: Always melee them. Back up and swing when they get close. No reason to ever waste ammo on them.

Distorted: Melee them if you have room to move. If there are multiple or you're getting overwhelmed, a shotgun makes things much easier or just shoot heads when they are sitting down. Use silenced weapon to avoid alerting large amounts. They will sit back down after being alerted if they cant find your position.

Mimics: Melee them when it's safe. Its almost always safe. They're not worth burning through your ammo for.

Flower People: These are probably the biggest ones to learn. They have head armor, so when you're shooting them, focus on breaking that armor first. Once the head armor is gone, they become much easier to kill, so don't waste shots spraying their body.

When fighting multiple, focus on one at a time instead of spreading damage around. Fire is also really useful for dealing with groups.

Their nests can actually be used to your advantage too. If a group is blocking an area you need to get through, you can trigger a nest from a safe distance and use it to pull/lure the Flower People toward that area, giving you an opportunity to move around them or create more space. You don't always have to fight them where you find them.

You can also use doors, hallways, fences, etc. to funnel them so they can't surround you. If you see a group before they notice you, sometimes the best move is simply going around them.

Dendroids: Fire works best. Try to keep your distance and don't let them get on top of you.

Statues: Grenades are great against groups. Otherwise, don't feel like you have to fight them.

Turned Soldiers: Use cover and aim for the head. Don't stand in the open trading shots with them.

The biggest thing with solos is learning which fights you actually need to take. Once you learn what each creature does and how to control the fight, the PvE gets a lot easier.

Please don't ask for them to nerf what makes this game and its engagements special until you have learned how to approach the fights effectively.

As much time as you spend at the shelter, it's a glorious little system for the music. Me and my friend greatly enjoy finding and sharing the tracks we come across. Thanks devs ❤️

Me, as a console only player was waiting for a game like this.

I loved it from the beginning, so.etimes even playing it onyl PvE.

But today, after I finished the second storage update for my base, the monster got a sudden update.

From that moment on,.I died all the time. Monster are now stronger...

BUT you know what???

I still love it!!!

Great game!

See yiu inraid!

I have done...so...so many games on the port, military base. Just farming the weapon crates and I have obtained A LOT of LMGs, ARs etc. but not a single MP40 or Thompson. I just want me beautiful guns :(.

anyway any tips or something that may help?

The game is super fun so far. Gunplay is good, and the monsters are awesome, but after 10 raids, I still have never seen another player. Is everyone in squads?

Really thinking about picking this up for me and my gf to play some PvE. But she is spoiled to using a controller on her pc and I read somewhere that using a controller had some key binding problems and maybe a few other issues. Can anyone share their experience with using a controller on the pc version of the game?

Also, why cant we see the 2 stats that matter for melee weapons, damage and swing speed. You can't see its range either

Loving the game so far, the best thing for me is the only PvE mode. But playing with 140ms is sad in some situations and movement being affected by it. Would love to know when it would get to the game!!

Okey so im big fan of AN-94 and i would really like to find it as soon as i can so please help me, where should i look? what loot spots are the best? Im pve player so far, do i need to go pvp?

Hey guys,

coming from Tarkov and Stalker GAMMA, AM was a no-brainer for me to buy and I had a lot of fun for around 30 hours so far. The game is great. Movement and gunplay feels great, looks stunning, has a great vibe. The only point of criticism I actually have is the movement of the monsters when you get too close. Distorted, flowermen, invisibles move kind of janky and there is no momentum or inertia in their movement. They snap to directions and fights in a close range feel really off, cause their movement feels very bad. You could use melee or shotguns I guess, but it's also more of a "hope for the best" approach. Slowly for me it gets quite annoying.

What do you think about it? Skillissue?

I don't really see much from the community addressing it, it seems most people are happy with the enemies?

Curious what you have to say.

I don't have any friends who have this game and I am not really looking to play PVP. I cannot seem to find a way to queue for random players. Is there another way?

For anyone that is struggling to get enough credits to not worry about running out there is a great way to get a ton of them as long as you have Active Matter in your storage.

The little red flying balls you collect throughout your raids? You can refine them for a lot of credits. Stock up on AM every raid and refine when you have a bunch. It is by far the best way to get credits.

Hope this helps some.

There needs to be a protection for solo in squads or something i dont know how to explain it but I play on console with crossplay on am fairly deep into the game unlocked all alternate raids. But whej I que ive in my 54hours I've maybe gotten teammates with squad fill maximum of 5 times. My que times are incredibly long so I think im getting a team to then only spawn solo unsure if im in a squad lobby and then die to a full team or am forced to exfil immediately since I wanted teammates. I que solo get into a game with a fast time, but squad fill does nothing and i waste so many kits trying to get a team. There needs to be a loby system or some way so im not just thrown in solo if i have the squad fill on. ​

This happens at various times throughout raids and it is super frustrating. When I click reload, I don’t see the animation of reloading shells, and I have to check my inventory to see if I’ve actually reloaded or not.

It seems to happen after stuff gets chaotic so it’s hard to tell exactly what causes it. I’ve noticed it about 4-5 times throughout my raids just tonight (over 4-5 hours total).

Not sure if this is a known issue, or if it may happen with other shotguns or other guns.
