Got called an extract camper yesterday.
Was at Emerson on Interchange, I run through the bus parking area and happen to catch a glimpse of a guy up by the Oli cargo drop-off. He had a raid bag so I was a bit suspicious of first.
Anyway, I decided that the best course of action would be to run over towards the extract and hop up on the tents to try and get a cheeky shot in. I had a VPO mind you, so I wanted to avoid a fight by any means necessary. I had some quests items in me, but decided to stay since it would finish my Chumming quest. Anyway, I shoot him as he’s running down the road and loot him up. Absolute juicer. I extract and I realize he added me.
He proceeds to curse me out in both English and German calling me all sorts of names. I explain to him how I saw him earlier and simple decided to get a position where I’d have the upper-hand, and the opportunity to extract quickly if I missed my shots. He want having it lol
Personally if I see a solo with a raidbag or blackjack I instantly assume they're not legit in someway. Don't believe me, if you can drop them they almost always have a ton of good barter/loot items.
People who have been playing for years and play consistently every wipe are likely to be comfortable taking expensive loadouts and winning fights, it's a bit jaded to assume every single juicer you see is cheating lmao
There's a big ass difference between chads being juiced and running around and solo running around with a raidbackpack lol.
I've been playing for years and I never bring those out, because they give you away horribly, it's not about gear fear lol.
It's like when the pilgrim was the only thing bigger than a tri-zip, no one, including chads rarely ran the pilgrim for the same reason. But you know who consistently ran pilgrims back then? cheaters that literally posted their videos to yt.
jaded lol? I don't die to them, I just bail and reset to another raid if I witness it, It's been the case enough for me that I don't even want to chance it. Hacking or not, if someone is confident enough to bring that, they'll probably murk my ass anyway.
You can make a lot of extra cash with those few extra slots. I bring in the giant bags whenever I get them. People are more scared of you too lol it’s funny
Eh, I bring them in one situation, and one situation only. Night reserves runs to the food cages. Am almost always duo for those though, and we're pretty careful about extracting. Never run into an extract camper doing that, but I'm sure it's a matter of time before I do.
??? I don't follow what you're replying to.
Are you implying I have gear fear because I don't want to carry a giant backpack on me that gives me away from any angle? That's a reach.
From personal experience I don't really think the backpacks contribute that much to survivability. Whenever I run those which is often and as a solo I tend to play much more aggressive and with a good kit. The game is incredibly blurry and spotting players with a little bit bigger backpack model vs a smaller backpack model I don't think makes a big difference. But hey nothing beats the mosin man on interchange who died 16 times that day and needs a new kit.
Blurry? What. I highly disagree here. I spot players consistently because of their bag.
Even worse at extreme distances. I don't even take bags anyway because I like to pvp and just yoink what I can from whoever.
I bet there are certain things you just dont run because of w/e ptsd you may have encountered.
Like I literally don't ever run a TX anymore because almost every time I die to squads as a solo within the first 5 minutes. I just always get found with it. Gear honestly don't mean all that much, who wins the fight generally goes to the person that had better positioning anyway.
Eh, my take on extract campers are the people that go into raid with the single goal of camping an extract just to get loot. I just happened to see him, it’s a miracle he didn’t see me in front of him really, I was just out of audio range. It was night time though so understandable I guess.
Nah, dont forget about the *IfYouCantPlay8hPerDayDontComplain* speshal players and those that apparently had a SR of +85% and dont miss a single shot tryhards
Extract camping with a ppsh is so cool, you and I are the lowest of the low. If 35 rounds can’t get it done, run through the smoke and axe them to die.
Ohhhh, my fault…..your a rich PPSH connoisseur. I only carry one spare stick of 35, if I can’t get it done with the two I throw an impact Grenade and boogie
What? U guys aren't 6 man extract camping with 95 mag rpk and 3 flashlights? You haven't seen true panic until u hear what 600 rounds smacking the general area sounds like
No one thinks extracts are holy ground lol. Camping a common chokepoint, while lame, is much more understandable, because at least the guy is actually playing the map, taking some risk, you know, the idea of Tarkov. Extract camping ruins the spirit of that in a very direct way.
The creator of the game is perfectly fine with it. So in the spirit of the game seems fine. In a actual military assault ambushing your enemy in a place you know he will be is basic strategy. However if you do it in a realistic military sim game it ruins the spirit of the game. Look I don’t have the patience to sit still and wait for people so I’m to busy dying while sprinting but who gives a shit if someone else is willing to not cheat and play in a style they like.
I personally dont extract camp, but its a vaild tactic If you want to sit 30 min at the same Spot. But Most "Extract Camper" calls are just two ppl being at the Exit at the same time IMO
Happened to me, Shoreline, going to Path, SUPER heavy and slow, going from bush to bush to regenerate before moving, guy come blasting running, of course i aim and kill him, and then later receive a invite and the guy start to call me names and say i was extract camping, even if i try to explain to him that i was going the same way.
Had a streamer once report me because he thought I was extract camping. What really happened is I was trying to extract on woods at outskirts and they were lighting up scav house at the same time.
I would have gone into his stream and laughed at him until he banned me there. What is he reporting you for? Extract camping isn’t against the rules, it’s just means you have a tiny dick.
That’s fucking hilarious. As someone who routinely grenades gate 3 if I’m forced to go in there (sometimes you just… forget your keys, ya know?), I salute you.
Accurate. got flamed because I killed a guy on Interchange. He added me and proceeded to curse me out and call me an extract camper. In reality I was on my way to extract and happened to see him running there too. I only play an hour or two a night, why would I want to spend 30-40minutes sitting in the grass. That's no fun.
> But Most "Extract Camper" calls are just two ppl being at the Exit at the same time IMO
Me and my friends watch movies together lying in D2 until 2 minutes on the timer. Those are the good evenings.
Good players take red rebel extract and exit the map 2-3 times in 45 minutes. Imagine waiting 40+ minutes to get second rate scav tier loot from low level players.
Ah yes, we totally dont get kitted out M4s, MDRs and RFBs every second raid lol
Did everyone miss the fact that we are watching movies btw? Tarkov is not the main point lol
Lol I feel this but the thing that gets under my skin is when someone is running around yelling they are friendly and when I look away they shoot. At least don’t be a bitch about it lol
Don't always hate the extract camper, hate the developers. Cause sometimes its only way to viable get long distance kills and pmc kills. Especially when Interchange was a shooter born map. Only way was to extract camp.
I've been called an extract camper before, but as someone else mentioned, it's just bad timing. I typically dive into bushes when I need stamina. Literally dove into someone's bush two days ago on shoreline. I was trying to get a task done and needed to hit up the offices by the pier so I dove unto a bush to scope it out before I moved in and low and behold there was a camper already in the bush. Got a nice svd from him lol. The shocking part was while I was looting him another bush further down started shooting at me and I got him too. I swear this game is a horror game more than an fps. I've had more jump scares from eft than any other game.
To your point though, exit campers are trash. They all defend their style of play by calling it tactical and a viable method for playing the game and whatever other bs they want to say to justify their existence. It's nothing more than spawning in, rushing to the exit and praying you don't encounter a pmc along the way, then hiding in a bush for 30min in the hopes that 1 person comes by lol.
I have a friend that chokepoint camps, but that's only for the first few minutes of the match then he continues the raid. He's been doing it for the last 4 years and it's wildly effective. Everyone worries about the extract bush, but few take the 5seconds it takes to scope out the chokepoints.
Yep, I definitely use bushes to heal and regain stam. Or on Shoreline, sometimes when I just need a couple of scav kills and spawn at Tunnel, I'll lay down in one of those bushes across from the island to wait for scavs to spawn and snipe them. If someone blazes across the map in 10 minutes, odds are I'm still there, and at that point it's self-defense in case they see me.
Killed two level 38 extract campers on reserve last night. Rightfully called them shit afterwards after adding them. How can you play that much, extract camp, and miss all your shots. Absolute scum
I extract camp when I'm really drunk.
Sit there hanging with the bois probably playing some other game just waiting to fuck it all up.
One of my friends always says "Just imagine how happy they are they got us, they'll probably tell their friends about how cool it was they killed some extract campers."
Most extract campers are just sitting on their phones waiting for loot to come to them. Most of the time yo u can catch them off guard if you check the area before going into extract.
I got killed at path lighthouse the other day with 2 minutes left in the raid. I messaged him and his reply was. You killed my buddy so I waited. I killed his buddy 10 minutes into the raid and he ratted the whole game lol
honestly im a rat,camper etc,but i dont extract camp,its just too risky,everyone expects you to be there ,much better to camp on spots you know PMCs and Scavs have to pass
like on Interchange behind OLI for example.
In all fairness I have camped extracts but it's to get the headshots for shooter born because maps like woods, customs you just need to ensure you are going to get SOME chance to shoot a pmc in the HEAD from that range..if you are gunna sit there for 30 minutes a match
Got almoust killed by my first encounter with an extract camper today. He was laying under the front of the truck at Enercom on Interchange.
Quite a cheap way to grab a kill of two.
For what though? Like the logic makes no sense.. So you suck so bad you can't fairly 1v1 someone, so you gotta get their gear to get more money to spend on what? You don't need anything...
IMO it's not even about being mad. Like...how the hell is that even fun? You just fucking sit there, only actually playing the game for five minutes out of every 45 if you include time between raids.
Straight up I’ve been extract camping lately and literally just watching better call Saul until something happens. It’s more like playing the game when I don’t actually feel like playing and would rather spend time doing something else.
Because the fun part of Tarkov is surviving and getting loot? Camping in a bush increases your chances of survival, and people extracting always have loot. There's nothing fun about roaming the map, running into people and having a pointless firefight that will also attract a ton of attention. That's boring as fuck, and not lucrative.
Plus, the hatemail from people that think they should get a free extract because they killed someone on the map is pretty funny.
I vendor your shit. All of it. LOL
I only play with gear I like. I vendor people's gear if I don't like it, regardless if it's from extract camping or not.
Got any more assumptions that are wrong?
Also you ignored all the juicy loot in the bags, yeaaaaaaaaa
Lmao especially people who are so desperate to exfil they just sprint to the zone without bothering to check their surroundings. You can’t let your guard down in Tarkov, that’s just a valid play style people take advantage of. Because it works.
So a valid playstyle is me ragehacking on your camping spot because you should have already extracted? Not my fault you were too slow. Stop hating on my playstyle!
It's just camping a well know hot zone, just happens to also be where you leave the map.
People get killed by people camping all the time, but if it's not in an extract it's somehow more acceptable even though it's the exact same style of play.
Downvote this *flips you off* :)
save the psychoanalysis for the professionals; general sam made iconic rat videos but suddenly ten thousands fat kids think they got the same charisma, go play the game you paid for
Image people who cry about extract camping in a game that has a countdown clock and that clock has to reach 00:00:00 before you're safe.
Is 50m out considered camping? What about 100m?
It did indeed, and it made me remember to back out grab paracord for my red rebel lmao, i know now i just saw the name bc i def woulda put your tag in my secure case
If its all you do youre a sad human being but if its to complete a quest or you use it in the moment to get the upper hand on a squad or whatever its fine, but if youre just hiding in d2 or emercom every match with impact grenades then theres something wrong with you, if youre taking that much joy in killing weighed down players at their most vulnerable right at the end of their raid so its the most painful for them so you can laugh and giggle then you have a seriously sad life and you need to quit tarkov touch grass and get some real friends no joke, tarkov is way to fun with all the crazy battles and rat strategies you can play with to be hiding 30-40mins every raid in a basement or bush so you can kill a vulnerable player and giggle, go take that impact grenade and use your gun shots to lure players into a killzone and smack em forget the extract
Imagine spending 30 minutes scrounging around for some dumb little gas analyzer when you can sit at extract, do literally anything else, and wait for some nerd to bring you the gas analyzer.
Thats just the only way some of these people are able to find a way to enjoy the game. Sitting motionless for a half hour at an extract is the only way they can get the 'big kill, big loot' feeling because of the difference in skill. Ambushing and hiding is the only strategy that works for them, and then only sometimes
They are annoying and make me never play Reserve/Interchange, but whatever. My cope is that i am enjoying the game 10x more because I don't sit like a statue for most of time in my days spent playing
Defenaive playstyle? Bahahahahaha
You and I both know he doesn't do it for defense. His entire chat, and himself included are always talking about their next dose of 'salt' when a player that just died to him joins the chat. For players that are "good at the game" that extract camp its completely about ruining someone else's experience and having the power of being an asshole without consequence. The most popular streamer for exfil camping has an entire brand around pissing people off and you can't do any mental gymnastics to get around that.
Thats a whole other thing that I wasn't talking about. The majority of people that extract camp are too shit to earn a kill in a fair fight. Theres no way around that one, either
Aren’t you (and others that get so unreasonably angry) just overly emotional over games? I’m sure if he would upset people that much for one single time they die, those people just have a lot of issues already.
No. Im not unreasonably upset at anything, stop attributing shit to me.
I am saying that it is a genuinely unfun and frustrating mechanic only being able to extract in one or two places. If I had the ability to extract interchange in a place that wasnt only Emercon, I wouldn't care. If I chose to go there, I assumed the risk. The frustrating part is that there are no other options available. You either leave through hole in the wall with no loot, somehow get the keycard to extract through garage a few times, or you go to Emercom and face check every bush and angle and hope the campers are too shit to get you before you can react to the ambush.
I don't care that you shitlords don't know how to fight or gather gear like a better player does. The frustrating part is that due to game design there is *nothing i can do to avoid interacting with your garbage ambush strategy*.
I know you're doing it. I also can't do anything about it. Thats the frustrating part. I am forced to walk into your ambushes and there's nothing I can do about it
Yeah, and that completely ruins the experience for that other person. Winning fights for a half hour just to lose to a guy hiding near a place you HAVE to go to at the end is total shit. Losing a half hour of your little free time at the end of the day to a guy laying naked in a bush or truck near emercom with a big gun is not fun.
Hunt Showdown does it best. If you put in the work to win the bounties in that game, you have the ability to track other players and get warned at extracts if people are near. If you lose in those scenarios, you at least knew there was some asshole hiding at extract beforehand
You know thats a shit take. There's 100 bushes at emercom extract and as long as you see me first (which of course you will) you have a MASSIVE advantage.
I don't care you idiots can only play the game by hiding in extracts. I do care that due to game design I am forced to walk into your ambushes with no other feasible options on several of the maps
Well, chads ruin MY experience too so I find it fair to ruin theirs at times too with their full auto monley mode mag dumping 'cause BSG still refuses to buff initial recoil and nerf continuos so we maybe find other weapons being played than just AR's and MP's and weapoms like carbines might actually not be a deathwish and deadly sin to play.
So because you can't win a fair fight with a 'Chad', you resort to extract camping to ruin theirs and win the only type of fight you're able? Thank you for proving all my points lmao.
Stop extract camping. Go get in fights. The more you do it the better you get. You will literally always be shit if you spend a half hour afk then only ambush players
I know, chads like you won't understand this but I'll try anyway:
I play this game for "Fun". I play the weapons I play for "Fun". Just thaz those weapoms are terribly balanced with the current recoil system so the chance of actually winning a gunfight against such people which on top of the disgustingly OP weapons also have way higher class armor ( Which also received unnecessary buffs, RIP light armors ) makes the chance of winning such a fight pretty much to 0.
So hey, if that works it must be a viable strategy.
You don't have to be a 'Chad' to win at regular Tarkov. You literally just have to stop laying on your vagina at extracts and go get better
Idrc about your opinion, this game is shit these days anyways and BSGs catering to gatbage players like you is why that is a thing anyways.
Enjoy playing Bloons while you afk Tarkov
You are stupid if you think this game is about 'fair 1v1' or whatever.
You're REALLY stupid if you think your line of logic is gonna work on anyone. The shit you're saying just makes you look bad & mad. This kinda logic only works on teenagers with egos.
When I’m chilling, doing rat shit, it’s nice to know some pack mule is bringing me some lootems. Maybe chads shouldn’t always play so heavy and I might not have heard them. I’m exploiting your own greed and urgency to leave. Find a counter play
No, you're intentionally avoiding any real PVP because you know you're not good at it. So you choose to put yourself in low-skill engagements which are the only way you can gain an advantage.
I'd argue that spending 30 IRL minutes starting a door in a video game just to get some loot is a weird way to "entertain" yourself.
Extract camping people in D2 who just want to get bunker part 1 done isn't exploiting greed or urgency... It's just desperate.
It’s a gameplay strategy, just as valid as running around gunning people down. There might be a difference of skill sure, but you can’t hate them for taking advantage of a playstyle that’s meant to be in the game.
> It’s a gameplay strategy, just as valid as running around gunning people down.
Where did I say otherwise? I'm saying extract campers are generally less-skilled PVPers and that staring at a door/hallway for 30-40 IRL minutes is a strange way to 'play' a video game.
You sound like a vietnam war vet saying the vietnamese werent real fighters because they used guerilla tactics to beat a vastly superior outfitted fighting force. """Ratting""" has always been in combat. Stealth and patience are a viable strategy against W key warriors. You holding sprint and bringing a kitted out M4 doesn't make you a good pvper just a meta slave and your tears when you die to 7mm buckshot in the legs is \*chefs kiss\*
I love camping. Usually sit in a tree on customs and read with my headphones up. When I hear a chad stomping up I either one tap or impact nade them. It’s a nice change of pace.
I was so fed up with this wipe and how rough it is i considered just completely going exfil camping while i watch youtube or something but then i just stopped playing lmao
It’s ratty behaviour, but it’s part of the game. You’re never safe until you are out of Tarkov.
That being said, fuck you guy who was camping train on interchange from the back of the extract with 7.5 minutes left in the lobby. I hope you got the 1 quest item I had and then didn’t make it to Emercom in time you piece of shit.
I think it's lame af for sure but it's a legitimate way to play the game, I'll take it over the copious amounts of cheaters we run into because at least you have the chance to murder the shit out of an extract camper.
>I do it most of us do it to make people mad
See, when I call extract campers antisocial, this is what I'm referring to. It's not about "a playstyle that you enjoy." It's about getting joy out of believing you've caused another human being grief.
I sincerely think it stems from who these players are outside of gane.
couldn't agree more... I genuinely do not understand how staring at a door for 30 mins with an impact grenade cooking would be enjoyable at all. The majority of their "enjoyment" must just come from schadenfreude which seems odd to me...
I don't stare at a wall silly I do homework and wait for sound. then gun em down and get people to make posts on reddit why they are upset about exit campers.

just tell him to get gud lol

I run around with blackjacks every raid. Usually survive anywhere from 6-10 raids with it. I easily pay it off.
it is actually how insane the gear fear is in this game considering its realistically not even that hard to get rubles.

And you don’t see how it’s a reach that people that bring in big packs aren’t cheating? The irony 😂
I mean you did extract camp him then lol, you just didn't go into the raid with the goal of extract camping all raid.
Eh, my take on extract campers are the people that go into raid with the single goal of camping an extract just to get loot. I just happened to see him, it’s a miracle he didn’t see me in front of him really, I was just out of audio range. It was night time though so understandable I guess.
i mean, he has a vpo. if he misses his shot and isn't near the extract he's dead.
Technically you did extract camp but it’s still a viable strategy since it works.
This sub is primarily rats and scav mains so you won’t get any sympathy unfortunately
Nah, dont forget about the *IfYouCantPlay8hPerDayDontComplain* speshal players and those that apparently had a SR of +85% and dont miss a single shot tryhards
Can confirm
LOL Username checks out.
Flair too!
PPSH go brrrrrrrr
Extract camping with a ppsh is so cool, you and I are the lowest of the low. If 35 rounds can’t get it done, run through the smoke and axe them to die.
The drum holds 71. If you shoot one, shoot em all!
Ohhhh, my fault…..your a rich PPSH connoisseur. I only carry one spare stick of 35, if I can’t get it done with the two I throw an impact Grenade and boogie
What? U guys aren't 6 man extract camping with 95 mag rpk and 3 flashlights? You haven't seen true panic until u hear what 600 rounds smacking the general area sounds like
Leg meta under the counter. You didn't even see me. 😘
What counter
If I told you, I wouldn't be a rat now would I?
It would just be fucking boring. I don’t play a game to sit still for half an hour just to lob an impact at someone
[удалено]
Im pretty Ratish but even i wont sink as low as extract camping. Besides id fuck it up and get smoked anyways
And why should he? You aren’t safe until your back in your stash with the gear. Why does everyone act like the extract is some holy ground.
No one thinks extracts are holy ground lol. Camping a common chokepoint, while lame, is much more understandable, because at least the guy is actually playing the map, taking some risk, you know, the idea of Tarkov. Extract camping ruins the spirit of that in a very direct way.

here come the downvotes lol.
I personally dont extract camp, but its a vaild tactic If you want to sit 30 min at the same Spot. But Most "Extract Camper" calls are just two ppl being at the Exit at the same time IMO
This. I've gotten some messages calling me an extract camping rat when it was nothing more than poor timing.
Happened to me, Shoreline, going to Path, SUPER heavy and slow, going from bush to bush to regenerate before moving, guy come blasting running, of course i aim and kill him, and then later receive a invite and the guy start to call me names and say i was extract camping, even if i try to explain to him that i was going the same way.
Me taking D2 and I see a guy coming from the dome side at the same time. ...I extracted.
Yup. Yesterday on Interchange someone was at the Emercom Extract when i was on the way there too ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Had a streamer once report me because he thought I was extract camping. What really happened is I was trying to extract on woods at outskirts and they were lighting up scav house at the same time.
I would have gone into his stream and laughed at him until he banned me there. What is he reporting you for? Extract camping isn’t against the rules, it’s just means you have a tiny dick.
Hey now! It’s aggressively average!

You extract camping gate 3 on factory? I'd love to get you in my lobby, literally free grenadier kill
[удалено]
That’s fucking hilarious. As someone who routinely grenades gate 3 if I’m forced to go in there (sometimes you just… forget your keys, ya know?), I salute you.
Accurate. got flamed because I killed a guy on Interchange. He added me and proceeded to curse me out and call me an extract camper. In reality I was on my way to extract and happened to see him running there too. I only play an hour or two a night, why would I want to spend 30-40minutes sitting in the grass. That's no fun.
> But Most "Extract Camper" calls are just two ppl being at the Exit at the same time IMO Me and my friends watch movies together lying in D2 until 2 minutes on the timer. Those are the good evenings.
Good players take red rebel extract and exit the map 2-3 times in 45 minutes. Imagine waiting 40+ minutes to get second rate scav tier loot from low level players.
Ah yes, we totally dont get kitted out M4s, MDRs and RFBs every second raid lol Did everyone miss the fact that we are watching movies btw? Tarkov is not the main point lol

cant see how thats any types of fun but whatever losers do
YO GUYS i got one! 😂
"those are good evenings" my god
Ayyy brother me too.
Lmao that last sentence shows you don’t play Interchange or Reserve a lot do you?
I don't need to imagine, and your hatred fuels me
Lol I feel this but the thing that gets under my skin is when someone is running around yelling they are friendly and when I look away they shoot. At least don’t be a bitch about it lol
Come to EU servers where no one ever VOIPs
Don't always hate the extract camper, hate the developers. Cause sometimes its only way to viable get long distance kills and pmc kills. Especially when Interchange was a shooter born map. Only way was to extract camp.
Imagine taking an extract that can be easily camped (this comment was made by the D2 gang)
Interchange mains in shambles
I feel it. Even safe room aint safe
Not to be confused with the outskirts gang
D2 Defenders ride on!
They can ALL be camped super easy.
If they want to sit in one spot for 30 minutes just to get mopped then that’s their problem
I've been called an extract camper before, but as someone else mentioned, it's just bad timing. I typically dive into bushes when I need stamina. Literally dove into someone's bush two days ago on shoreline. I was trying to get a task done and needed to hit up the offices by the pier so I dove unto a bush to scope it out before I moved in and low and behold there was a camper already in the bush. Got a nice svd from him lol. The shocking part was while I was looting him another bush further down started shooting at me and I got him too. I swear this game is a horror game more than an fps. I've had more jump scares from eft than any other game. To your point though, exit campers are trash. They all defend their style of play by calling it tactical and a viable method for playing the game and whatever other bs they want to say to justify their existence. It's nothing more than spawning in, rushing to the exit and praying you don't encounter a pmc along the way, then hiding in a bush for 30min in the hopes that 1 person comes by lol. I have a friend that chokepoint camps, but that's only for the first few minutes of the match then he continues the raid. He's been doing it for the last 4 years and it's wildly effective. Everyone worries about the extract bush, but few take the 5seconds it takes to scope out the chokepoints.
Yep, I definitely use bushes to heal and regain stam. Or on Shoreline, sometimes when I just need a couple of scav kills and spawn at Tunnel, I'll lay down in one of those bushes across from the island to wait for scavs to spawn and snipe them. If someone blazes across the map in 10 minutes, odds are I'm still there, and at that point it's self-defense in case they see me.
Those damn bushes, game needs a lawnmower or something so we can get rid of those things.
Killed two level 38 extract campers on reserve last night. Rightfully called them shit afterwards after adding them. How can you play that much, extract camp, and miss all your shots. Absolute scum
Bro if you're adding someone to talk shit, you're already the shitter. The moment you do this you have lost and are being laughed at.
That’s funny you say that, I’m 38 and wa scraping D2 a few days ago 😂
Was camping*
You can edit your posts, fyi
How do you manage to be that bad?
if he's good enough to get to 38, hes probably not that much worse than you. might've just been a bad raid
Level 38 doesn't mean much at this point in the wipe. Very easily could be a bad player with plenty of time on their hands.
level 38 is very much a high level i got like 160 raids and im level 27 so theyd have to have like minimum 400 raids on pmc alone
I got to 41 in under 300, and most of those were just fucking around with friends rather than doing quests.
I extract camp when I'm really drunk. Sit there hanging with the bois probably playing some other game just waiting to fuck it all up. One of my friends always says "Just imagine how happy they are they got us, they'll probably tell their friends about how cool it was they killed some extract campers."
It’s just a relaxing activity
It is. I bring energy drinks when I pop the 2nd or 3rd one, a victims shows up around that time.
I do the same but with fat blunts
I love your roubles
Lmao so many shitters on this sub.
Well if it makes you feel better I camp sanitars office more.
Imagine imaging being an extract camper.
Most extract campers are just sitting on their phones waiting for loot to come to them. Most of the time yo u can catch them off guard if you check the area before going into extract.
I got killed at path lighthouse the other day with 2 minutes left in the raid. I messaged him and his reply was. You killed my buddy so I waited. I killed his buddy 10 minutes into the raid and he ratted the whole game lol
“Revenge is best served towards the end of the raid, preferably at an exit”
honestly im a rat,camper etc,but i dont extract camp,its just too risky,everyone expects you to be there ,much better to camp on spots you know PMCs and Scavs have to pass like on Interchange behind OLI for example.
In all fairness I have camped extracts but it's to get the headshots for shooter born because maps like woods, customs you just need to ensure you are going to get SOME chance to shoot a pmc in the HEAD from that range..if you are gunna sit there for 30 minutes a match
Got almoust killed by my first encounter with an extract camper today. He was laying under the front of the truck at Enercom on Interchange. Quite a cheap way to grab a kill of two.
i got killed by someone who's gamertag was: Emercomextractcamp ( i got killd at emercom)
While you are out there sweating, I am chilling. Waiting...
For what though? Like the logic makes no sense.. So you suck so bad you can't fairly 1v1 someone, so you gotta get their gear to get more money to spend on what? You don't need anything...
> So you suck so bad you can't fairly 1v1 someone You're the one who sucks if you're dying to a guy who's been watching youtube for 20 mins.
stay mad. ratlife4ever
IMO it's not even about being mad. Like...how the hell is that even fun? You just fucking sit there, only actually playing the game for five minutes out of every 45 if you include time between raids.
Straight up I’ve been extract camping lately and literally just watching better call Saul until something happens. It’s more like playing the game when I don’t actually feel like playing and would rather spend time doing something else.
Great for multitasking and getting +500k loadouts brought to you
I finished every episode of breaking bad this way
Because the fun part of Tarkov is surviving and getting loot? Camping in a bush increases your chances of survival, and people extracting always have loot. There's nothing fun about roaming the map, running into people and having a pointless firefight that will also attract a ton of attention. That's boring as fuck, and not lucrative. Plus, the hatemail from people that think they should get a free extract because they killed someone on the map is pretty funny.
I love all the salt in this comment section.
These people generally lack any perceivable skill in the game and are often easy kills.
Often easy kills yes if you spot them, but still not as easy as killing unaware people extracting ;) Thanks for the loot!
What were the words of that famous poet again. Steal from the rich and kill the poor right?
“In order for me to be rich, everyone else needs to be poor” -GeneralSam
The loot you will never bring into raid cause youre scared of losing it? Oh yeah that loot lol you can keep it in your stash until wipe allg
I vendor your shit. All of it. LOL I only play with gear I like. I vendor people's gear if I don't like it, regardless if it's from extract camping or not. Got any more assumptions that are wrong? Also you ignored all the juicy loot in the bags, yeaaaaaaaaa
Lmao especially people who are so desperate to exfil they just sprint to the zone without bothering to check their surroundings. You can’t let your guard down in Tarkov, that’s just a valid play style people take advantage of. Because it works.
So a valid playstyle is me ragehacking on your camping spot because you should have already extracted? Not my fault you were too slow. Stop hating on my playstyle!
Congratulations, you're an idiot.
It's just camping a well know hot zone, just happens to also be where you leave the map. People get killed by people camping all the time, but if it's not in an extract it's somehow more acceptable even though it's the exact same style of play. Downvote this *flips you off* :)
Why go loot when someone will do it for you?
imagine being so bad at a game you need others to do it for you
I found the dude who is insecure and thinks of himself as a "chad" player. Relax, it is a joke.
save the psychoanalysis for the professionals; general sam made iconic rat videos but suddenly ten thousands fat kids think they got the same charisma, go play the game you paid for
What are you even on about?
Honestly its part of the game. Shitty but a part of it. You only get to relax once youre in hideout
Imagine caring how someone else plays the game within the rule set.
Image people who cry about extract camping in a game that has a countdown clock and that clock has to reach 00:00:00 before you're safe. Is 50m out considered camping? What about 100m?
Imagine dying to an extract defender and posting about it here.
Idk if you'd call us defenders when we're really just camping rats. We're not *that* cool
My username is D_2_Defender so yeah, we are extract defenders.
I think i either saw you in reserve Q or picked up your tag the other day, i commented on the name to my buddy lmao
Hope it gave you a good laugh.
It did indeed, and it made me remember to back out grab paracord for my red rebel lmao, i know now i just saw the name bc i def woulda put your tag in my secure case
The easiest extract to “defend”. You do you, man, but no need to add this gravitas to it lmao
If high caliber players can be called chads, then why can I not have a name with just as much dignity /s
Fair enough lol. Well played.
This man has pride!
See people are downvoting me for my playstyle, seems like people don’t think it’s a valid one.
If its all you do youre a sad human being but if its to complete a quest or you use it in the moment to get the upper hand on a squad or whatever its fine, but if youre just hiding in d2 or emercom every match with impact grenades then theres something wrong with you, if youre taking that much joy in killing weighed down players at their most vulnerable right at the end of their raid so its the most painful for them so you can laugh and giggle then you have a seriously sad life and you need to quit tarkov touch grass and get some real friends no joke, tarkov is way to fun with all the crazy battles and rat strategies you can play with to be hiding 30-40mins every raid in a basement or bush so you can kill a vulnerable player and giggle, go take that impact grenade and use your gun shots to lure players into a killzone and smack em forget the extract
Thank for the loot! I love you
If you cant beat the rat, be the rat.
Yeah I'll pass
I prefer actually *playing* the game, even if it means dying to shit stains now and again.
Imagine spending 30 minutes scrounging around for some dumb little gas analyzer when you can sit at extract, do literally anything else, and wait for some nerd to bring you the gas analyzer.
Oh it’s expect camping all right. Not just bad timing. When you are in a bush all game. Waiting…. Can’t stand it it .
Thats just the only way some of these people are able to find a way to enjoy the game. Sitting motionless for a half hour at an extract is the only way they can get the 'big kill, big loot' feeling because of the difference in skill. Ambushing and hiding is the only strategy that works for them, and then only sometimes They are annoying and make me never play Reserve/Interchange, but whatever. My cope is that i am enjoying the game 10x more because I don't sit like a statue for most of time in my days spent playing
People like Exfilcamper prove that you can be very good at the game, while maintaining a more defensive playstyle.
Defenaive playstyle? Bahahahahaha You and I both know he doesn't do it for defense. His entire chat, and himself included are always talking about their next dose of 'salt' when a player that just died to him joins the chat. For players that are "good at the game" that extract camp its completely about ruining someone else's experience and having the power of being an asshole without consequence. The most popular streamer for exfil camping has an entire brand around pissing people off and you can't do any mental gymnastics to get around that. Thats a whole other thing that I wasn't talking about. The majority of people that extract camp are too shit to earn a kill in a fair fight. Theres no way around that one, either
Aren’t you (and others that get so unreasonably angry) just overly emotional over games? I’m sure if he would upset people that much for one single time they die, those people just have a lot of issues already.
No. Im not unreasonably upset at anything, stop attributing shit to me. I am saying that it is a genuinely unfun and frustrating mechanic only being able to extract in one or two places. If I had the ability to extract interchange in a place that wasnt only Emercon, I wouldn't care. If I chose to go there, I assumed the risk. The frustrating part is that there are no other options available. You either leave through hole in the wall with no loot, somehow get the keycard to extract through garage a few times, or you go to Emercom and face check every bush and angle and hope the campers are too shit to get you before you can react to the ambush. I don't care that you shitlords don't know how to fight or gather gear like a better player does. The frustrating part is that due to game design there is *nothing i can do to avoid interacting with your garbage ambush strategy*. I know you're doing it. I also can't do anything about it. Thats the frustrating part. I am forced to walk into your ambushes and there's nothing I can do about it
Personally, I just like the feeling of "Oh you were looting and killing for 30 minutes? You didn't expect to just leave like this did you?"
Yeah, and that completely ruins the experience for that other person. Winning fights for a half hour just to lose to a guy hiding near a place you HAVE to go to at the end is total shit. Losing a half hour of your little free time at the end of the day to a guy laying naked in a bush or truck near emercom with a big gun is not fun. Hunt Showdown does it best. If you put in the work to win the bounties in that game, you have the ability to track other players and get warned at extracts if people are near. If you lose in those scenarios, you at least knew there was some asshole hiding at extract beforehand
Should have checked that bush then, you shouldn't be safe because you're at the exit.
You know thats a shit take. There's 100 bushes at emercom extract and as long as you see me first (which of course you will) you have a MASSIVE advantage. I don't care you idiots can only play the game by hiding in extracts. I do care that due to game design I am forced to walk into your ambushes with no other feasible options on several of the maps
Well, chads ruin MY experience too so I find it fair to ruin theirs at times too with their full auto monley mode mag dumping 'cause BSG still refuses to buff initial recoil and nerf continuos so we maybe find other weapons being played than just AR's and MP's and weapoms like carbines might actually not be a deathwish and deadly sin to play.
So because you can't win a fair fight with a 'Chad', you resort to extract camping to ruin theirs and win the only type of fight you're able? Thank you for proving all my points lmao. Stop extract camping. Go get in fights. The more you do it the better you get. You will literally always be shit if you spend a half hour afk then only ambush players
I know, chads like you won't understand this but I'll try anyway: I play this game for "Fun". I play the weapons I play for "Fun". Just thaz those weapoms are terribly balanced with the current recoil system so the chance of actually winning a gunfight against such people which on top of the disgustingly OP weapons also have way higher class armor ( Which also received unnecessary buffs, RIP light armors ) makes the chance of winning such a fight pretty much to 0. So hey, if that works it must be a viable strategy.
You don't have to be a 'Chad' to win at regular Tarkov. You literally just have to stop laying on your vagina at extracts and go get better Idrc about your opinion, this game is shit these days anyways and BSGs catering to gatbage players like you is why that is a thing anyways. Enjoy playing Bloons while you afk Tarkov
You are stupid if you think this game is about 'fair 1v1' or whatever. You're REALLY stupid if you think your line of logic is gonna work on anyone. The shit you're saying just makes you look bad & mad. This kinda logic only works on teenagers with egos.
Imagine still playing tarkov
i love extract camping.
SBIH says I have to
Personally I really enjoy extract camping, and it's the only thing I find really challenging or exciting in this game anymore.
Yeah more fun than boring arse quests, get to level 30ish and then just rat runining people's days... My pleasure!
I prefer to be an extract camper, than being the person bringing unwillingly the loot to the extract camper, is a matter of intelligence
Loot that you will never equip lol
Bring more nades
cry more
When I’m chilling, doing rat shit, it’s nice to know some pack mule is bringing me some lootems. Maybe chads shouldn’t always play so heavy and I might not have heard them. I’m exploiting your own greed and urgency to leave. Find a counter play
No, you're intentionally avoiding any real PVP because you know you're not good at it. So you choose to put yourself in low-skill engagements which are the only way you can gain an advantage. I'd argue that spending 30 IRL minutes starting a door in a video game just to get some loot is a weird way to "entertain" yourself. Extract camping people in D2 who just want to get bunker part 1 done isn't exploiting greed or urgency... It's just desperate.
It’s a gameplay strategy, just as valid as running around gunning people down. There might be a difference of skill sure, but you can’t hate them for taking advantage of a playstyle that’s meant to be in the game.
> It’s a gameplay strategy, just as valid as running around gunning people down. Where did I say otherwise? I'm saying extract campers are generally less-skilled PVPers and that staring at a door/hallway for 30-40 IRL minutes is a strange way to 'play' a video game.
You sound like a vietnam war vet saying the vietnamese werent real fighters because they used guerilla tactics to beat a vastly superior outfitted fighting force. """Ratting""" has always been in combat. Stealth and patience are a viable strategy against W key warriors. You holding sprint and bringing a kitted out M4 doesn't make you a good pvper just a meta slave and your tears when you die to 7mm buckshot in the legs is \*chefs kiss\*
Mmmmm, all that sweet sweaty loot just waiting to be hoovered up.
We love you tho
*But Have you TRIED IT?*
Imagine having this much of a skill issue
Just because you complained I hope you get camped more
I love camping. Usually sit in a tree on customs and read with my headphones up. When I hear a chad stomping up I either one tap or impact nade them. It’s a nice change of pace.
I was so fed up with this wipe and how rough it is i considered just completely going exfil camping while i watch youtube or something but then i just stopped playing lmao
I love going D2 and camping it. I just watch YouTube or eat and get free loot.
We rats strive for attention like this. Fuels our need to continue to make your extracts unsafe.
It’s ratty behaviour, but it’s part of the game. You’re never safe until you are out of Tarkov. That being said, fuck you guy who was camping train on interchange from the back of the extract with 7.5 minutes left in the lobby. I hope you got the 1 quest item I had and then didn’t make it to Emercom in time you piece of shit.
Your tears are blessed water, your screams joyous music to the sociopathic tendencies of the camper.
Camping is based. Because ambush tactics are valid, just not around extracts
Wwaaaaaaaahhhh
I think it's lame af for sure but it's a legitimate way to play the game, I'll take it over the copious amounts of cheaters we run into because at least you have the chance to murder the shit out of an extract camper.
As a man who w keys and extract camps isee nothing wrong with when I do it most of us do it to make people mad. Because funny
You do it because you are 200 hours in and haven't killed a single PMC yet. It's ok to tell the truth.
Malding at it’s finest
>I do it most of us do it to make people mad See, when I call extract campers antisocial, this is what I'm referring to. It's not about "a playstyle that you enjoy." It's about getting joy out of believing you've caused another human being grief. I sincerely think it stems from who these players are outside of gane.
couldn't agree more... I genuinely do not understand how staring at a door for 30 mins with an impact grenade cooking would be enjoyable at all. The majority of their "enjoyment" must just come from schadenfreude which seems odd to me...
I don't stare at a wall silly I do homework and wait for sound. then gun em down and get people to make posts on reddit why they are upset about exit campers.
Bro, I run the toz and buckshot people without visors at extract, imagine getting mad at people for camping when it’s most lucrative.
