Maybe you right, but TAR is not a name for any real weapon, it is a generic name. Anyway, about arrows and bolts... Hummm I think I agree with you.

May I ask what the purpose of this is? I get that stamina should be a problem early game, but I can only imagine how frustrating it would be to finally get that auger you so desperately wanted to take your building up a notch in late game, to find out you can barely use it due to stamina usage. Is it supposed to make players craft high tier food items to try counteract the stamina drain?

I really need sorry you for my mystake, now I understand, the model of TAR in the game is the M4A1.
Thank you for the elucidation.

Tyvm.
What your opinion about quest rewards? Did you actually have played some T5 quests?

i have not done it on A18 but i have on A19!
and sometimes you get some nice stuff like once level 6 Desert Vulture, then Later i got level 6 Steel knuckles and level 5 Steel Spears and the last one i did i got a Level 5 Steel helmet. But then you have some stuff that are OK, like blueprints (i had most of them) and sometimes you got ammo! mostly special ammo like HP or AP, most of the stuff that i will not uses will be sold!

Vram usage has improved steadily since a17 and, while still not in the range the steam page claims, it at least can be under 5 GB cumulative usage in minimum specs at all times (no chance for it to stay at 3,9gb for long, sadly) . The tough problem is a number of factors that damage the fps : the "one second" pile of warnings , music starting, transitioning and stopping instruction clogging (one of the biggest lately), entities spawning in the same second, various same-second instructions/notifications ... etc

I think some are Ok! i would love to have a Level 6 impact driver!
but also i maxed out my "Daring Adventurer" perk so i got to pick two things and got better stuff!
i would also take the M60! im personally a Steel tools kinda guy!
I would also take the Sniper rifle! i like to uses them as a "Carbine" and uses them with Iron sights! its fun to put full auto on a sniper and pull the trigger!
and the one with the sledge Hammer i would rather take C4! i hate using Sledge hammers! without perks!
but some of the other stuff i would get and sell so i can get something i want! hell i bought a level 4 Auto shotgun! it was alot but worth it!

Alright lets go there.
From google: An auger is a drilling device, or drill bit, used for making holes in wood or in the ground. It usually includes a rotating helical screw blade called a 'flighting' to act as a screw conveyor to remove the drilled out material. The rotation of the blade causes the material to move out of the hole being drilled.
Even if you could modify the blade to work on other materials your body is the weak link. So yeah it can't work IRL but would you rather not have the auger do what it does cause if not its only use then would be gathering clay.
The crossbow shouldn't be able to loaded that fast, you should have to put the cocking sturrup on the front on the ground then put your foot in it and pull the string back to the latch and place the bolt/arrow in the flighting grove. Congratulations you have just done a reload and you are dead 10 times in the time it took you to do that cause you sure as hell are not moving while you are doing this and it is no small amount of strength needed to do this. Even if you devised some sort of crank to get the string to the latch it would be to much to do on the fly.
A lot of people can't use the bow to save their life and the crossbow is more the privative pistol equivalent so they too can do an agility ranged build.
If you try and put to much IRL on either of these they don't work and I can just imagine the amount people mad if they did.
The tactical does look like a M4/A1. The two snipers appear to be M110A1, and I haven't been able to get the other due to my loot being at 25% and can't find pictures but from what I've seen it appears to be some variant of M14 with out the stock iron sight. Then there is the hunting rifle which all I can assume is its a high caliber. The three Ranged rifles IRL us the same ammo 7.62mm. The M60 uses 7.62mm. This leave the M4/A1 the only weapon in game that would use 5.56mm, why make another ammo type for one gun? I'm happy we even get AP and HP rounds. This isn't escape from tarkov fidelity, hell the game doesn't even have magazines.
Conclusion, even the realism police need to take a bit of fantasy with what they believe is emersion breaking or not cause you can pull the world apart if you want. I think the pimps do a pretty good job of trying to make it all work.

Hard to say, our plan is to game stage the rewards better for A20.I hope you not are being sarcastic...
It is ok for me if the mission give me 5 First Aid Kits, but not First Aid Bandages...
Anyway, are you going keep the rewards like this?

Auto shotgun schematic would be an amazing gamechanger, I think that's great but a single antibiotic looks ridiculous compared to everything else
I think I saw someone say they don't want to see schematics as rewards but I think some big power schematics like auto-shotgun would be a great reward for T5

Yeah these were slapped together during A17 for the most part. It needs to be thought through better. Infection is starting to make a comeback but not enough to put a dent in my huge supply of honey, so I don't even care about antibiotics until I am out of honey.

I honestly never use honey so I can save it for Grandpa's Awesome Sauce, and I never run out of antibiotics or herbal antibiotics anyway, and I never craft them. (SP.)

for me I tend to run out until I can craft them (though I play where all my stuff I'm carrying is deleted on death), a single antibiotic's value is still very low compared to other rewards even with being strapped for resources by playing on loss of items on death.
