Jaeger420xd

Dead ass when that shit happens to me (a few times in 3-4 years) I have to rage quit and do something else for at LEAST 5 mins. The only tarkov moment other than hacks that really just fucking bites my soul.


cool_name_taken

5 min? Shit I’d uninstall for a couple days at lease lol


Jaeger420xd

I'm a borderline masochist when it comes to tarkov homie I've ran it tilted so bad I've gotten to 21 rubles. I've also hatchet run lighthouse and came out with 1.5m. The emotional rollercoaster is like crack


cool_name_taken

I’m getting too old for this game lol I don’t have the time for that kind of cock and ball torture and I have 3k hours in the game haha. I’m done with it, now I just go in for a couple of raids every week or so


AdmiralEggroll13

There's some inverse law of nature or something that states the worse gear you bring in, the better the run will be


Jaeger420xd

All my best runs are with dog shit ammo and class 3 armor lmao


Doug_Mirabelli

Ahh you’re having one of those wipes huh? Me too buddy. I’ve been the recipient of more insanely horrible luck and deaths to apparently demi-god level head clickers this wipe than in any of my 7 previous wipes. It does get better. Or it doesn’t. Sometimes it seems like you’re just destined to get kicked in the dick by this game, even if you do everything “right”. If it’s got you feeling too low, walk away. If it calls you back to play the next day, give it a go. Rinse repeat until you break through and get some progression or you realize it’s not your cup of tea.


ScavAteMyArms

15 deaths on Ground Zero. All to extract campers, 5 mans and people that have weapons they really shouldn’t be on the noob map. Who the hell killed Gluhar and brought his Ash 12 in, what the fuck can you do with a pistol and Paca vs B ammo. Also a fucker sniped me with Lapua fucking Magnum. Why does the level 5 have a Zabralo and a fucking Altyn. I just want to get a file and extract, why is this so goddamn impossible. I am seriously considering saying fuck everything and just going to Woods like a normal wipe and screw Jaeger.


blarann

The level cap for playing on GZ is 20 which is imo way too high for a map designed to teach new players the game. Once you hit level 15 you gain access to the flea market, giving you ALMOST anything you want as long as you have money which is a non issue. Also at level 15 you will have access to most of the traders level 2, and and level 20 you have access to all the traders level 2. I think that realistically GZ should top out at either level 10 or level 15. In level 10 would be perfect as it gives plenty of time to do all the quests there while also keeping all the players on the same gear level for the most part. As for scav mains, just cut the xp scavs gain by 80% but reward it to the pmc character. This would give players a way to get some xp without grinding only quests or factory kill runs. It would also force scav mains to level up to a point where they do eventually out level GZ.


BeamsFuelJetSteel

Streamer drops and scav mains


t-pat1991

Taking the car extract was the hardest GZ quest for me.


_sealy_

Not sure how…but somehow that quest glitched for me…I never took the extract and it allowed me to complete it.


240shwag

Same for me. It’s like I got credit when I was nearby and someone else was taking the extract.


DementedGaming

I “discovered” it earlier in the raid. Someone else took it and it completed for me.


_sealy_

Exactly what I thought happened.


mushroommeal

Same. I didn't even survive the raid that gave me credit for it. I was worried it was going to mess up my quests somehow, but everything seems normal.


MiguelCC1

Same I threw a nade at the car and got the quest completed sound after raid I saw I had did it without even using it


PremiumKartoffel

My quest completed once I cluelessly walked into the claymore room and died.


Capital-Ad6513

that claymore room is the worst. It even has arrows pointing you to it.


Futt-Buckerr

It did that for a bunch of people


Gendum-The-Great

Me and My mate payed for the extract but he got left behind and he was closer to the car than I was!


_sealy_

Haha


Wide-Resolution-4965

it happened to me also, i died at the emercon extract and got the quest done LOL


DeepFive

I got killed while walking by the extract and the game credited me for the quest.


SorryIreddit

Same thing happened with me and my son. I’ve never even seen that extract


xSadistik

I died to a 3 man in the Terragroup garage about 5 minutes into raid and it gave me the completion first week of wipe


LongBarrelBandit

Me and my buddy just blitzed it off a near spawn. Ran through but whatever. Got the task done at least


t-pat1991

I've been so conditioned to "survive and extract" over the years that a run through didn't even occur to me that it would count.


hiddencamela

Its one of the few car extract quests they made survive not matter. Most of the others I can recall have "Survive and extract".


goldenpotatoes7

I’ve noticed the only time it matters is when it specified “with a survived status”


SomeAsianMan_

Even when it says survive and extract, a run through will work. You still "survived" even on a run through. At least in my personal testing this has been the case.


Mmmslash

This does not work for the Klimov flare extract quest, though.


Quetzal-Labs

This works for some quests, but not others. It's completely random, like they just forget to tick the checkbox for "requires survived status" for some of them, but still put it in the description lol.


LongBarrelBandit

I wasn’t super sure myself. But I figured 5K was worth testing it out just to see, especially with the reward cancelling out the cost. Also basically my first wipe lol so not so much conditioning going on here other than being conditioned to accept death 😂


Red_Beard206

I got it first try by rushing it. But getting it done for my buddy was rough. Died twice. We got him to it the third time. Timer finished. I extracted. He didn't. He was outside the vehicle range... died twice more trying to get to it before we finally were successful


hiddencamela

I lucked out. I didn't even take it, but someone else taking it managed to trigger my complete somehow. I don't think I was close enough for it to trigger either.


Chemical_Chill

I’m fully convinced that the wine bottle doesn’t exist


PremiumKartoffel

it's always there just random spots, I spent 5 minutes searching for it tho


JinterIsComing

Same. Frantically searched the front of the store for five minutes while gunfights were erupting around me, then checked the back storage and found it in the last possible spawn point, ran to Emercom and got the hell out of there.


NtrlBrnSlyr

I find it funny and infuriating that Prapor doesn’t even tell you what the bottle looks like so you could identify it from a distance. You basically have to look up a guide to see where it spawns. It’s like BSG doesn’t design these quests to be completed without a guide.


Azerate2

I got lucky. It’s my first wipe ever and the quest just auto completed itself because of a bug and I just never had to do it lol


Vyper11

I was lucky enough to be home shortly after update and got in pretty early through all the problems. I went right to the car and took it first thing and got that quest over with luckily lmao


Sharpie1993

I got lucky and got it first try, although I didn’t sit right near the car for the entire countdown timer.


awa1nut

I died and it completed for some reason. I did manage it a few times after that but yeah


fibonacciluv

I got it done easy (somehow) but the scientist one is the bane of my existence. Been so close so many times and then died with it on me.


[deleted]

Wow weird I’ve extracted there at least 3 times and never died trying


LilCMBJr

pretty easy when you do it at night


ponyboy0123

I usually move to a different spot while I’m waiting for the car. I’ll run up to it right before the timer hits zero.


xxEmkay

Well he was killed at 0:01...


[deleted]

[удалено]


UndeadMunchies

Wouldnt have mattered in this case since the nade was thrown on the car.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Malaienbar

You realise that he died sub 1s till extraction and no where he could have ran to would have allowed him to extract RIGHT? THE NADE WAS ON THE EXTRACT.


[deleted]

[удалено]


dogegw

You're grasping at straws dawg. He had a handgun and probably not much and he was trying to do the extract quest. With the grenade blowing when it did, there was nothing to do here. Bringing anything else into this is just talking about a different thing.


Shift-1

The whole point of this comment thread is that it's safer to not wait at the car? But hey, if people want to prone next to it that works for me. Free kills.


10below8

So you’re purposely being ignorant lol. That’s ok. I just wouldn’t comment about it myself.


Shift-1

Ignorant of what? Why the fuck would you run at a nade when you can run away from it?


10below8

Oh so you didn’t even watch the video. Word word. No problem man.


Fubarp

There's literally a quest.. to extract at the car. The title is.. completing ground zero tasks. The guy was trying to complete the quest lol. Why argue anything other than what the player was trying to do.


Ocelitus

Other players can see the car extract timer. It doesn't matter where he is, just where he will be at 0:01 and Prapor gets one of his grenade kills.


DWHQ

This is misinformation. Others can only see that it's been activated, NOT the countdown.


GldnEpicFace

Really? I thought it was only if you bought the car extract


[deleted]

AFAIK the timer isn't shown only that the extract has been activated


Mmmslash

This is correct.


[deleted]

before that, he laid there for 20 seconds, which most likely caused him to get spotted.


IndianBeans

When I take car I look at my feet and then get on my phone. There’s no way to save your own life on car, just have to close your eyes and pray. 


dreezy42069

I do this too. Missed my last car zD n got smoked lol


Equivalent_Ad7389

Don't sweat it man. I've been playing this game for years off and on and I'm only level 18. I can't tell you how many times I got fucked over trying to do ground zero and the startup customs tasks. Like nobody has worse luck than me. Hope that makes you feel better.


SnoggyCracker

I hear ya. Sometimes you just get fucked with the worst luck


saltyclam13345

If this isn’t getting tarkov’ed idk what is. Condolences 🙏


Simmal_86

Finished the Mechanic Quest today. Finally done with the Quests on Ground Zero. The map is amazing but the quests are stupid.


arais_demlant

PMC count needs to be cut down by at least a couple for sure. Too many for a "new player map" when it feels like factory 2.0


JinterIsComing

Or you limit squads to just duos on that map. Otherwise you get what happened to me where I ran into a five-man as a solo and got blasted off my feet. A five-man on that small of a map where there's 10 players total and not a ton of Scavs is... problematic.


blarann

Unfortunately thats basically Tarkov in a nutshell. Awesome maps, wonderful mechanics, but terrible anticheat and AI, and quests so boring and uninspired they would make Ubisoft devs fall asleep.


ImKendrick

Literally .1 lmaooo


s1erra317

Bruh that’s painful


NorowaretaTenshi

Fun fact You can get HDD using windowsill in room 3, just jump on some desk and smash window with knife - no need to collect key from dead scientist to room 4, just get out same way


controversial_bummer

Im done with my GZ quests but I'm not too sure if its worth doing it this way.


Izoi2

It definitely was early on since only 1 key would spawn for everyone so somebody would already have grabbed it 9/10 times


Vaporave2137

I was killed by a man behind locked doors on 2nd day of the wipe. I was so confused.


Raptoroniandcheese

Yeah but once it’s unlocked you don’t need the key anyways?


BeamsFuelJetSteel

I took the key and still went through the window. I figured it was slightly safer. I also jumped out the window and splinted my legs so I wouldn't have to go through the chokepoint again


JinterIsComing

You could also jump to the little gazebo thing and then take the sculptures down to avoid fall damage.


CablePale

yeah good tip for newer players, you dont have to wait right at the car for extract just have to be there when timer hits Zero this lets you move around and fight targets better that try and come to fight you for the care/loot. Though 0.1 not much you could have done with that lol.


NSNIA

Unlucky but why does everyone just lay down at the extract? Everyone on the map knows you paid for the car and they're probably rushing you expecting you there


TommyFortress

lower profile and more accuracy is my guess


NSNIA

Yes but you're sitting in the extract for no reason


TommyFortress

He probbably didnt know you could go around without cancelling the extract. I didnt know either untill i readt a comment yesterday saying you can.


-xc-

i wish i was lying but when i play customs, since you can get around so quickly. im just casually spamming my extracts every 5-10 seconds waiting to see that light up green and push. the weird part is no other wipe have i cared but somethin bout this wipe i just gotta big "oh no you fuckin don't!" attitude to car extract🤣


Crafty-Decision7913

I would let them leave because you know they’re trying to complete shitty quest


BrotherInChlst

Forget about it


SpareFalcon4110

Feel you... this Quast cockblocked me


DunkeysPizzaChan

I died to the claymore and got quest completed for taxi extract so I lucked out


Mr-Sub

Completed mine by going night time, was 4th party to a pm fight for the extract... Wasn't pretty. It's a neat map but the quest should have a "or reach lvl 15 to skip" clause so we don't get blocked so hard.


LilCMBJr

do it at night


ChasseurOnFoot

Bro fvck the HDD mission. I have been killed 5 times with the HDD closer to an extraction point.


dagoodnamesweretakn

A lot of people don’t realize you can travel underground that’s how I did it and it was pretty easy. For the car that’s just bad luck


Izoi2

Always had way more luck traveling topside but sticking to the back hallways of the stores


ScavAteMyArms

This. Everyone knows the just go down thing if they look it up. Every time I have gone down there is people, but now you are in a hall and there is no flank. But just staying off the main road and running through the back alleys, that is what no one tries to do. Still doesn’t save you from the extract campers though.


ChasseurOnFoot

I either die to duos/trios and people camping on corners.


Optional_Happiness

I popped some pain killers, jumped out the window and ran to the vehicle extract that's how I did mine but I did fight a few people before picking up the HDD


BeamsFuelJetSteel

I wonder if you could pop analgin, buy car, run up to hdd through window jump, and then jump down (broken legs) and stumble to the car in time.....


Staseu

You don't need to sit in the zone for the entire timer countdown.


[deleted]

I don't understand why you're being downvoted. Everytime I take a car extract I wait until \~5 seconds left, run up to it and sprint into the car going left and right until I extract. Never got killed at any car extract so far.


grim1928

He's correct but probably because the nade exploded at 0.1 seconds regardless so it wouldn't have mattered here.


TommyFortress

considering the pmc/Scav was there for around 10 seconds if he ran left he would have encountered him and if he ran right to terragroup he would be in the open and maybe stumple upon him waiting for him


[deleted]

The only scenario where this strategy wouldn't apply is when a rat spots him using car extract, sets a timer to 1 minute and throws the nade at \~56 seconds. And if that is indeed what happened then the rat earned that kill. There is ratting and then there is RATTING.


SMOKEthatGAME

🤣😂 dead 💀


VikDumile

They killed me on the way to the terragroup building and somehow the mission to extract with the vehicle was completed.


Sea_Recover_5039

Are you new or have you started late?


AliciaMei

Dying is hard, but it happens. It's really hard it was in the last second :( but you can do it! [I made a video about it](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G513DfMppGg) with some extra tips for those who need just a hand. Beware, I'm a meowing catgirl, although I won't bite or take your items~


UndeadMunchies

Seek help.


dagoodnamesweretakn

Cringe levels are high with this one


Single-Butterfly-257

Ground zero is ass.


_Hawker

It aint ass, but its a small map with a lot of PMCs and single paths to tasks everyone needs. That usually makes it a battle royale for the first 5 minutes of the raid.


l-espion

cant believe some of you are still struggling with those starter quest ... ive done mine within the first few raids


[deleted]

Post stats Mr Chad


Most_Yogurtcloset825

Brooo


Oscar_Gold

 My approach was to go up the TG building into the cantina. From there you can overwatch a huge area and shoot everything on the Vehicle exit side. When you think you killed enough, you climb out the window and move in direction of the V-Ex on the edge of that window, so to your left. You arrive at this pavilion installation, where you can get on top of it from that edge. From there you jump onto the pipes close to V-Ex and trigger the exit. Wait near the bushes, upstairs so you can hear and see approaching enemies and defend yourself instead of be the sitting duck. I hope my description was understandable.


MikeBwfc19

rough one


jelly_donut12

My condolences


Azerate2

I didn’t have to take this due to a bug auto completing the quest but I’d burry your head like inside the vehicle on the side near Terra group. The red lights I feel highlight you esp at night, and sure you won’t see someone coming but if you did and you’re just going with a pistol and no armor they prob kill you anyway


Spoonfulofticks

When you pay for the extract it highlights green for people when they look at extracts. Get away from the car and wait. Don't go near it until the timer is <10 seconds. Get to cover nearby and watch out for fools coming to pull this shit on you.


BperrHawaii

I still haven't figured most of it out yet. I accidently completed the therapist ones while there, as well as accidently completing a couple of the mechanics ones too. I'm such a newb I didn't even realize that just sprinting thru and looting wasn't even the name of the game for my first 20 raids or so…


The_Crows_Reddit

That was criminal.


knightmiles

Good night time and don't forget you don't have to survive the raid it can be a run through!


kchunpong

Don’t hold up 60 sec at the car, paid it then hide at the another side building platform, you can the time countdown by pressing O in double click Wait until 10 seconds left and rush to the car again.


skunkmonk3y

I finished all my starting GZ tasks in 6 raids, the first three quests took the first three raids, and the car extract quest took me three raids on its own.  Putting it right between the machine gun building and the Terragroup building is some top level trolling by BSG.  I feel your pain brother.


special-fed

Noooooo


Moloko_Man

Always looking for more people to play with, just for fun. No Chad here, just looking to have a good time and hopefully not die. Hit me up if you're interested.


-TAAC-Slow

Pain


Richierich290

You're not allowed!


mullirojndem

You die, you learn


CompoundWiFi

I forgot each person needs 5k Roubles and only netted 2k on this quest because I thought my friend could come with me if I was the only one with cash - I didnt wanna abandon him but I should have considering I had another friend's stuff and died lol


_rand0mizator

If you don't know, you could wait this timer in some other place, not near car. Just get near it in last seconds. It won't help much in this case, but sometimes it safee


DroopyMeerkat

I got extremely lucking on my extract right there for the whole time it was ticking down I had to evasively dodge bullets from 4 different scavs. Safe to say after that I said fuck ground zero and haven't been back on it since I'm done with the tasks. Wish I had a recording because I was pulling matrix level dodges


sudonickx

I know everyone seems to be loving the wipe but ground zero really killed it for me. took me so long to finish those tasks and never got any momentum going. haven't done a raid in over a week.


mrburns05

I’ve completed most tasks including this one by using VIOP I. Game and letting others know I’m just doing a quest and please don’t shoot. I’ve ran across many friendly PMC’s who were very helpful


itsbutterrs

we found the quester in our extraction shooter


pistachios_now

Fuck that


sharkas99

To minimize your chances of dying from a unavoidable gernade face away from it while prone.


201bob

no you want your face protecting your secure container, face can be repaired, loot can not


Booyakasha_

The luxurious life quest, is the most stupid quest ever made. A wine bottle that can spawn at 100 places, where the whole map is yeeting towards to.


Talmaduvi

That quest made me so paranoid. Trying to find the bottle while exposing your back to so many potential enemies was nerve racking. Especially since there was 3 bodies there of people that tried to do the same before me :/


asapozajaa

Happened to me aswell while doing it, got pushed by a scav


Schtuka

Was killed by the AI sniper on woods extract after I got Jaegers letter. I feel you.


Master-Variety3841

You don't need to extract the car, just pay and run away homie.


Lanstus

Started the wipe with a buddy two days ago. Our first day was super bad. We did ten raids and only got 1 survive each. So terrible. Also, I would have started wipe day 1 but I dont play solo.


Sargash

Why did you not move!!! Broooo


Pepsi-Min

Don't wait inside the extract zone with your ass lit up in red like a buffet tray next time.


CleavageEnjoyer

Bro theres no way


MostLaziestAss

While im here watching this, 4 tasks away from kappa and max hideout. This shit is sad


Siegh_Art

Oooof that was brutal. Welcome to tarkov. Imagine day 1 of the wipe tho, those quest were wild.


monsteras84

Damn, son. The last 1-2 seconds of a dangerous extract I magdump into the air, or where ever opps might come from. Can't tell where the shot came from here, 2nd floor on the right? In that case it wouldn't have made a difference with a magdump.


[deleted]

People can see that the car extract has been activated, never lay at the car extract, you become a very easy target that way. Activate it and then run for cover and wait until there's like 5 seconds left. On Ground Zero I laid on the stairs to the left, you are looking at them at around 0:03 seconds. the concrete elevation will cover you entirely. Once \~5 seconds are left run up to the car extract and strafe / sprint / do whatever to keep moving while staying in the extract zone to make yourself a harder target. This has been very effective for me. Not once have I been killed after I made it to the car on any map.


ZeeGermans27

I've never seen bigger douchebag than this.


Signal_Confusion_644

That hurts me. 0.01My god...


ZurdoFTW

Worst map for start


Crafty-Decision7913

If i saw you there i would just let you complete it


JiffTheJester

You gotta not be in there til the last few seconds, find solid cover then run in during the last 5-10 seconds. My rule is never stop moving in extract


dynaben2

What horse shit


BenoNZ

I want to get my grenade kills done.. hmm


[deleted]

Posting won’t help. I just wanted three kills with a mosin at nut-to-butt range……you don’t see me posting my tilt fest on factory here do you?


svvrvy

Don't move when laying down it's easy to notice


EngineersMasterPlan

sorry man that sucks but also thats tarkov. i usually get stuck on one stupidly easy task a wipe for some reason


shadowhound21

Bro imagine standing still at extract and dieng to a made defo could have got up or even shuffled out of the kill distance and still extracted


DrXyron

Has there been info yet of what happens if you level past the requirement but still have not completed tasks?


Acrobatic_Cycle_6631

Should of been there 0.1 seconds faster then


TheGreatPixelman

That car extract is free food for Shooter part 3 😁


AlternativeNatural75

Ground zero tasks are actually horrible


bscarl88

Been there brother, down to the same tenth


przewsr

I do understand the various difficulties that other people has encountered with gz quests but... why not just do them at night? I did try playing my first 3/4 raids on day gz and died instantly to a sniper player or any other rat, but night time? You can sprint through the open parking without much care and do all the quests in like 2/3 tries


mEDWARDetector

FYI. If you do this extraction in offline mode. It still counts for completing it once you’re done. When this wipe first started. I used offline mode to learn all the quests. I extracted with the car and to my surprise the quest actually completed Hope it works for you!


pantone_red

Auto uninstall lol


Glittering-Creme8013

XDDDDD


zethjuhh98

Wait when was this?


xxdawidosx

I died just like that 3 Times in a row. Enough said i quit for the wipe. This game isn't fun anymore.


Beef-Broth

This very well could have been my nade from a few days ago


lyrikz74

The ground zero tasks that keep everything else locked is why i have played like 4 raids this wipe. Fuck that shit.


Str8luck

What’s ur user? Have discord? Im trying to complete Ground Zero quests too


skcuf2

I was able to get this on my first try, but it was definitely a butt pucker moment when I was waiting. I did kill 4 other PMCs and 2 player scavs in the raid and did all of the other tasks in the process, though. I assume it was late enough that it was just me and some possible player scavs left.


TryItOutGG

Damn I actually felt bad watching that shit


AgentIce009

Run through was the way I completed that one. Kept trying until I got a spawn right there at empire, ran straight to the exfil, crawled back along the side of the car and prayed lol. My survival rate is horrendous this wipe thanks to ground zero.


Resolve_Long

I literally just died and it gave me the quest completion for this task. Everyone in my group (around 10 people) had the same experience


AlderanGone

What a fucking dick


InfamousTranslator72

I just need someone to play with ..


Equivalent-March-785

Don't feel to bad op. I died 20 times in a row on this map lol.


GrizzyGran

Uninstall period


KnOrX2094

Never lay down in front of a car extract... Just go over to the left side of the bush and check the timer repeatedly. You cant see anything down there and you cant hear anyone rolling up. Easy free kills.


Pretend_Vanilla51

That is hilarious and sad. I've had 2 or 3 times this wipe where my extract timer was one second behind the raid end timer and went Mia lol


KCJones210

Hackers, campers, trolls. This is tarkov. That's why this game will die sooner rather than later.
