so over the RAIN

[skuzzlebutt]

im not one to complain about games, honestly I'm very understanding when it comes to a EA games but the rain is ducking AWFUL. it has taken me weeks ( i only get a couple hours a day to play if im lucky) to do shooter born in heaven because 80% of the time its raining and i cant even see over 50m.... lets be honest does anyone actually like rain in a game? even aside from the fps drops that some people suffer from that have lower end rigs, it just doesn't bring anything to the game.

From what I understand it follows the rain/weather in Moscow

Dont you dare talk about the rain. I love it. Makes the game feel different. I have fun with something different.

There´s nothing that warms my shriveled heart more than loading into a raid and I hear rain on sheet metal roofs. Imagine we could smell summer rain that hits hot asphalt the first time.

Reminder for my self: need to find Tarkov rain ASMR vid.

okay, i dont actually hate the rain, but i really hate it right now. i need one more shooter born kill on reserve and i will load into a sunny raid, and then i start hearing those rain drops out of nowhere, by next raid its FUCKED.

Rain and fog is incredibly nice to play in because the game becomes hard. The Shift W meta dies because W pressers can't soundwhore everything and pickup every little detail with their stretched resolution and shrunk FoV. My best fights are always in the rain because thats when the skill floor gets raised. 

If its foggy, the fog literally washes out all the color. If you are dressed in a neutral desaturated color and stand with your back up against something similar looking to you, you have no silhouette and its very hard to spot your color/outline. Its so easy to hide in plain sight and maneuver aggressively and covertly in rain.

Reserve is the hardest to do SBIH on because everybody worth killing extracts within the first 10m. Play normally but keep a gun capable of getting SBIH kills, which is every single automatic rifle. If there is an early firefight, try to ambush the third parties who will be positioning themselves to the first/second parties. Hermetic bunker hill is hated for this, so is the black pawn spawn in the corner of the map. Get in on these fights if they crack off.
