This surprise Christmas day patch is turning out to be pretty significant. For those of you getting negative karma for killing scavs as a PMC you need to make sure you are not killing santa or ded moroz. If the santa you see is wearing the read santa hat and you kill him it will pop up as santa, but if the santa you see has the blue heat then that is actually the russian santa, named ded moroz. So if you kill them it will pop up as ded moroz in your kill list. I bet a lot of the people complaining are killing ded moroz and not knowing it’s the same.

Although I do sometimes get a hand from BSG and occasionally get to talk to Nikita or other members of the team, I do not work for BSG. I also work entirely off public information and past experiences of working in game dev myself, as well as following this game closely for several years. Unless I state very clearly otherwise, the information you’re about to hear should be taken as speculation. You can either get no information or speculation, that’s all we have to go off of these days unfortunately which is why it’s easier to just say Thursday whenever anyone asks for dates. If you want hard facts and dates you won’t get them, period.

With so many people now negative karma and with how BSG handled this I wonder if they WANTED us to lose karma? What do you guys think? Scav Karma vid soon along with some new player tutorials and stuff in general. 😎👍

This santa event is the worst idea ever.
"Hear sprinting sounds on custom dorms staircase"
empty clip into sprinting person
R.I.P santa…
Shoreline electric station:
friend walk around corner and starts panic shooting
I walk around the corner and shoot once at someone
R.I.P santa…
These bastards have been killing Ded Moroz!
So for me, loading in as a scav crashes my game while I’m loading the map during the queue
On Reserve. Santa will also spawn and hang out in the middle of the map in between white knight and the gas station across the way.
anybody got a link to the customs map at 1:40?
I killed Ded Moroz at ZB-014 wall and seen Santa inside of USEC medical camp on woods.
great moves, keep it up! for the algorithm! FOR NoiceGuy! HOOooRAAAaaaaa!
keep popping a cap into santa's sneaky ass by accident 🙁
So it looks like if you kill player scavs as a PMC you lose .01 rep each, assumingly if you shoot first.. Not sure if this was always a thing
I’ve done two scav raids now where I am no longer receiving any positive or negative change to my karma upon extracting/killing literally whoever. Second time I killed a player scav that I thought was a pmc and got no penalty
santa was the worst thing they could have added to tarkov, i have killed santa 5 times by accident because i hear someone running towards me in dark places…
Noice!
There’s also bug where you get negative scav karma from killing player scavs as a PMC apparently so this Christmas patch is a double edge sword. Rip to everyone with -0. scav karma now
You can barter with santa, which you forgot to mention 🙂
My friend dropped him a pack of cigarettes, he picked them up and gave a moonshine in return! 🙂
Santa can also be near sniper road block by smugglers boat in the road.
Lost Karma killing scav. Normal scav, no hat, lost -0.01
Santa gave me sugar
I cant even play the dam game, i forgot my password from my account been trying for the last 4 days to reset my password i keep sending them emails about it and i still didnt receive any email about my issue
I still have negativ Reputation on therapist and Skier i love it
when i turned in out of curiosity instead of losing rep w/ prapor and skier i lost rep with jaeger and peacekeeper
The karma bug is a huge failure for me. I haven't killed Santa or the Russian version once and I lost well over 1.5 karma. That is so much grinding just out the window. I'm pissed.
santa spawned at bus station in customs for me
Nikita pleeeease make grenades shred armor and guns, grenades are so OP right now
I killed rashala at the tree on customs and Santa came out of 3 story dorms spraying me, I had to kill him and I lost .5 rep Bc of it🤦🏽♂️it’s so dumb.
If you kill a scav boss with the red bag do you lose scav rep? I saw what we thought was santa on factory and ran after we tagged him but it turns out it was tagilla with the red pilgrim
This is the worst event i have ever did. I lost rep from just killing regular scavs. 0.10 per scav kill
Real Santa need to yell HoHoHo when you approach him
Found Santa in Woods FOB
Just went from 0.50 fence rep to -0.49 cuz I don't read tarkov shit everyday. Turned the corner in dorms and blasted random santa quick like a good player and got punished far too severely. Not playing tarkov until next wipe. This event has ruined the tarkov wipe for alot of players already, and it hasn't even been around long, that's how severe the punishment is and how slow going the fence rep increase is. Not everyone lives on tarkov or makes a career streaming it. They also incentivize collecting hats/beards, killing scavs, and there are peeps running around as santa. This wipe is fucked for many due to a short event.
One of my friends killed santa at the skeleton hole in wall. I guess he can really be everywhere
You can spawn as Ded moroz, I have and didn't even know it was a thing
Santa Also at black knight/white night
Fuck me allready lost -1.32 by killing normal scavs after killing 1 Santa
I've seen Santa right after the bridge coming from big red towards the main part of customs. it was right at the beginning of the raid and during nighttime, if that changes anything. specifically he was next to a car in the curve towards the little market in the fork of the road that leads to the main road of customs.
I was at 2.3 scav karma and within a day I was at -.30 I wasnt paying any attention to it and just wanted Santa hats
Loosing Karma for killing santa hurt's so bad, i killed him by accident when he was hiding in the container with the stach near dorm's on custom's. Was completly scared when i found him sitting in there and emptyed my shotgun on him just to get killed 1 min later. now im on -0.66… started the raid with nearly 0.3
Just today I got severe negative scav karma for killing scavs as a PMC.
I got shot and by a player scav while a scav and I killed them. My Scav karma after that raid went up to +0.28. I then went and did a couple of missions that required killing scavs, one was a daily mission and one a regular one. Once I handed those in my karma went down to -0.71. I lost a whole -1.0 karma for killing scavs as a PMC. none were any of the Santa’s, none had hats or anything like that and none had those names. I can’t submit a bug report tho since BSG has shut down the bug report function.
Not really a bug but performance took a big hit for me in patch 12.12. 🙁
Last patch I had around 50-60 fps on almost all maps with no to very little frame drops, now even on Customs I go from 60 to as low as 12 fps in some parts of the map. And that is with lower resolution and down scaling at x0,75. Updated my drivers, only made it worse XD.
I am really sad, because the game is fun but the only map I can play is Factory. I dont know what happened? 12.11. it was working better then ever?
Christmas in Russia is at the 7th of Jan, Christmas in Armenia is at the 6th…
Ran a PMC on factory, beforehand I swapped my kit in my stash importantly taking out my docs case. Went in with a basic kedr from my scav and died almost immediately, thing is the kedr is still in my stash and now my docs case and surv kit has vanished.
My Karam is fucked like thanks for putting in Santa but not telling us about rep unless we use Twitter like wtf devs
just got the sewing kit and the metal spare parts together in one toolbox on shoreline
Nabbed a Twitch Rivals PACA armor from an airdrop, was pretty stoked to get it
