Is Labs Worth Playing This Wipe? | ScavTalk Podcast

This wipe? Labs is not worth playing at all💀

I have been maining labs - it has been the best experience in years.

I got both items for Intel center 3 and Solar power in back to back raids and havent been back. I must have gotten so lucky

Went to labs once in 12.12, been running it offline a little bit to learn the map this wipe in preparation for going looking for a ledx and samples stims

I think they made a big mistake trying to open arena to us at the same time as one of their biggest patches/wipes for main tarkov in history. I literally got access to it the day before tarkov wiped. I've still not played arena, and from what I've seen, I'm not going to play it 😂

I find church playing during podcast distracting and makes them less focused on conversations

10 raids and see 2 hackers......so 20% of raids you get KILLED by a hacker

I’ve gone 3 times and been killed by blatant rage cheaters twice. Another wipe I skip it which is sad because I like the map.

Labs is only worth if you clear the lobby! Otherwise it’s pretty average 😬

Also I don’t plan on trying Arena and i have EOD. I don’t even watch arena content or think about it

I will never ever ever play the cesspool that is labs. Why would I put myself in a situation where I lose more money (cost to entry) am susceptible to heavy RNG (no item spawn) and of course, getting shit on by hackers. Too many things have to line up, and who gives a fuck about an extra 2 minutes off your scav timer. I’ll live

Extra fuel cost? It’s not like streets isn’t making bitcoins rain from the sky and rubles are coming out of my eyeballs

Quests and Items are the only reason to run labs. It’s not fun and cheating is pretty much allowed at this point. I’m hoping they add some suped up boss npcs with cheat detection built in that roam the map killing everyone. Maybe everything goes dark and they show up as a clean up crew.

that man really just prnounced MOA like that...lololol

Bro, do you have a pony tail? What are you doing with your hands behind your head? It's odd.

My labs raids usually, spawn in. Wait until 12 min are left and then i leave spawn. Most players are dead by that point and if there is a cheater he would have rushed me by now.

If your not going for KAPPA the game gets very boring after lvl 42.

I forget your filming schedule but I was surprised to not hear y'all touch on "The financial report that killed Tarkov". Controversy aside I enjoy hearing different streamer's opinions on things like that

My favorite Tarkov bug will forever remain the full auto MK47 sound bug. Where everybody could hear infinite full auto except for who's wielding the weapon... Classic Tarkov

Have been playing Labs a lot this wipe.
Most Important Thing is getting to know all the rotations.
2nd most important is knowing all the extract voices.
Example is. Yesterday i spawned at the middle so i ran to the purple tents near Black and i hear a massive fight going on.
Which i dont engage in.
After that a 3 man comes out victorious.
30 secs later i hear the voice that med Block is opened to i run down the opposite stairs and see them all standing in that hall next to the elevator.
Got out with 92,7 kg.

Labs is basically factory with loot and cheaters

The biggest problem for Arena is that it released with no way to play casually. I have a very irregular schedule so i am always solo. Playing ranked solo is the definition of not fun. If i want to play a sweaty pvp shooter there are 5-10 better ones out there. Arena should have released with several fun game modes. Scav fights. Deathmatch. Gun game. Survival mode where you have to escape the arena. So many ways to make it fun instead of sweaty. I get that they wanted to make it a esport. But if you have nobody playing casually you have no audience for your tournament.

Got a yellow key card from an operational task
Sold it for 9.4m

Quick note, boys: love the content. It's one of the few podcasts that I'll watch/listen all the way through, but Church, for the love of god, please handcuff your hands to the table and away from your mouth while you're talking. Even when I'm just listening and not watching, you can tell that your words have to navigate through your fingers in order to find their way to the mic.

Church, you should wear a tweet suit. I think it would be very much your style and make you look distinguished.

What church said about horror games and Tarkov is so funny because for me movies and games in the horror genre love em could play them and watch them all day but Tarkov oh boy every raid is like the first time you seen a scary movie for the first time like a bade goes off half way across the map and I’m jumping in my seat going wtf I always tell my friends tarkov is horror game prentending to be a milsim

Model Y Tesla= parking

I’m a scav main turned labs main. My pvp needs work but I’m loving labs this wipe. Thankfully not many cheaters on NA east in my experience.

If you DID want to test hearing distance with max perception, an obdo 2 gives 20 attention and perception, and the 3-(b-tg) stim gives 30 each. So if you don't want to mess around with trying to max perception, you could use stims. I use those stims to max my attention and perception after a fight so I can hear as far as possible while looting and get the 50% chance to auto search containers (also 100% faster looting speed).

On pneumonics: guitar players are often asked to build a pneumonic when they begin to learn the notes of the open strings. Mine was “Electric Alpha Dog Graphic Banana Elf”

I have auto vault off and you just hold space while moving. I have vault set to continuous and jump set to press. Works way better for me tbh

Labs is worth playing if you happen to find the key cards or do the quest for black card and being a cheap kit. Chad labs died years ago…

Had no clue Gigabeef had a child

Other than changing audio levels headaets could be more balanced if they changes the effects of supression or concussive effects of grenades.

Me and my duo have heard the pop for years. We assumed it was the thing where you can hear a scav load in across the map but recently found out it was actually a pmc pop.

Arena needs a game mode where you unlock guns, equipment and attachments to put together in your own preset and matches

Love the podcast guys ❤
