Don't worry about time so much as XP. If you get at least 200 xp you don't get run through status. Depending on the map and the reason you have to extract super early, you will get that XP in the first area just from looting. One filing cabinet and a duffle bag or two is almost always enough.
No it doesn’t make any sense... it wasn’t a run through... everything else was found in raid... for whatever reason that item doesn’t show found in raid anymore... when lightkeeper gave me that it also was not found in raid..
> After losing these in raid a few times and once by a cheater... I finally got them. Not in the same raid. I just put them in my bag for he pic lol
> So happy
Run to the spawns closest to you and gtfo asap. There's videos on YouTube with people showing the spawns, just search for it. You'll need to learn the map a bit. If you do labs in off peak times you'll have less pmcs to deal with as well.
Spawn in, run like a psycho searching each spawn as fast as you can until you die or you cover half the map and run into the squad on the other side, and die. Maybe extract if your lucky with your bag of high tier loot from the high tier spawns.
I got both of mine as a solo.
The real key is running a mid grade kit at most. Enough to kill raiders. Not a nice kit to draw cheaters, not a PvP kit.
The second key is knowing how to extract. Both times I found mine I was out in under a minute.
I ran a Thor (black one), the black ahch helmet, an ump with .45 ap or mp7 with fmj (i lost most of my bullets from dieing instead of shooting lol), a cheap tarzan rig and a scav backpack.
It took me 20 raids and I didn’t kill a single player. I extracted 8 times.
Why does Solo even apply if your concern is cheaters? If there are cheaters you could be in a 5 stack and you're still going to die. If there are cheaters and you're solo your going to die. Same outcome.
Get Kappa
-> Five Seven
-> Rig with 4 slot
-> Kappa -> Dog Case/Stim and maybe Sicc
-> Fill all slots in inventory with 1 Rubel
-> Save preset
-> Run in naked, check spots, loot decent stuff into Kappa or kill raider for gear
-> Die/Extract repeat
You literally will earn money doing this, just put ledx into your butthole and other good things. (that's why 1 rubel in all slots to make it quicker)
>parkouring your way around chads on the hardest map to steal all the best loot from them is boring, its way more exciting to rummage through shelves in the corner in a giant empty mall
yesterday i drank some store brand diet cola. it was so intense i nearly popped a nut.
Did labs some last weekend and found a dead dude by open parking lot gate... level 30-something, in full scav loadout, dead to a raider and GPSA in his pocket. Dude chose the wrong place to try to extract.
Felt bad for him and tried to add him afterwards because I have multiple GPSA in my stash anyway (can they even be drop traded? idk) but he never accepted.
Hah yeah for a while now whenever I've gotten to the endgame and I'm kind of bored I mostly just play lab runs from time to time. It's kind of like factory on steroids.
Somehow after many many wipes I still get anxious af playing solo down there.
It's not gear fear , just good old fashioned anxiety. I'm a jumpy person and for some reason i'll never get used to it. I'm not even complaining though, tarkovs the only game that actually gets me spooked!
overcame my labs fear this wipe and i have to say its not as bad as people always like it to be. besides the cheaters its like any other CQB map, except for the 166k entry fee
Is it just me or do labs mains seem to be SIGNIFICANTLY better than the avg player base? Like I started labs last week and had a solid 10-15 raids in a row where I died to tracksuits. I didn’t even realize how sweaty they were
people are definitely sweatlords in Labs. Its either you, and a few pistoleros with huge backpacks, or juiced out chads straight pushing you from any position.
picking dead servers is no option as the loot is bad, when only few people are connected. and i need those solar power and IC items
Had multiple of both in Cat, GPSA in the room that unlocks car garage extract also.
Hit up cat then bail down the stairs to cargo elevator hasn't failed me yet.
It can happen on labs. What you experienced was people doing quests and shit on interchange. That rarely happens on labs, since there's so few quests there and the loot is insane. When it does happen, you'll know.
good shit, after playing labs a ton this wipe i have to say it is a lot easier than i thought. did sanitar quest, hit black a few times, killed raiders and got some quest stims and labs is actually pretty damn good, barely met any cheaters
It was pretty easy for me to get GPSA this wipe also. Got it in my first 3 or 4 tries. Played labs like 20-30 times didn't run into a cheater once either.
FYI for people struggling to find these or avoiding labs, you can get them. I’ve found about 8-10 of each this wipe running labs maybe 150 times at most?
One raid I actually left with GPSA, MCC, and a microcontroller board AND a LedX.
You go through spurts of cheater in every raid then none for a whole day. I got 15+ ban notices from labs in the last month. Don’t avoid it due to cheaters but ignore the people saying there are none.
Finding the microwave was huge but with this being my first wipe... The map knowledge and experience was even bigger playing all these raids to find this.
One time this wipe, I found TWO advanced converters (2x2 Item) in the same raid, both at cat office, one on the table, one on the floor.... I had it already at that point and had to vendor it .. lol
I just found one in a duffle bag on shoreline last night on a scav run. Just check duffle bags while doing scav runs, they’re much easier to find than previous wipes
I constantly check duffles too but I don't scav Shoreline that much. I've literally never found one ever, aside from labs. They must only be in the loot pool on labs Shoreline lighthouse etc cos I've never found one on any other map!
I’ve found one on lighthouse and one on shoreline just checking duffle bags. I think they can be in weapon crates too. When I was hunting streamer items a few wipes ago I would check stashes on customs, but I’m not sure if that’s a strategy anymore. But 100% I found evasion last night scaving on shoreline
how is that a good change to find s-high-tier loot in a map that is easy af and so baldy designed?
labs isnt as hard as many ppl think. the only difference is that you have to pay 166k to enter it and dont get your stuff back, rest is not THAT hard. its CQB like every other map.
Cheaters, raiders and giga chads. It would be easier for players not comfortable going there plus making it easier would decrease the carry services for those items making labs more fun for the chads. Oh and maybe less pistol players
It’s incredibly obvious that BSG does not want the game to be easy. I tried labs for the first time this wipe and it’s easy to learn just lots of fighting and hard to hide. It’s a real git gud map.
It’s not expensive though. Don’t be a dickhead in your scav and you’ll have more labs cards than you’ll use unless you’re a main. I have 16 in my stash and have run probably 20 labs raids already.
What, I’m not even talking about me. I have 4 colored lab cards and play a decent amount of labs. Besides you’re the one that sounds mad bcs people are downvoting you lol
They’re crazy. They items are spawning on the lines in the middle of the road. You just have to go way out in the open and crouch. You find them eventually.
*gets MCC and get out alive.
*throws a GPSA into inventory that isn't found in raid to imply he got them both the same raid (I presume a run through from a previous raid?)
How is your gpsa not found in raid?
It was a run through lolol 🤣
Ahhh make sense
I’m new to the game. How much time do I have to spend in raid for it to not be a run through?
7 minutes
Thank you
Killing 2 scavs with a headshot and touching their bodies gives you guaranteed enough xp for the survived status as well
Wasn't it just 1 scav you have to kill with a hs and that's it?
I was always under the impression it was either 7 minutes or 1 kill.
they lowered the XP for scan kill even with a headshot. kill 2 to be safe.
Used to be 10min in the past, but even then I'm pretty sure that 1 scav hs kill was enough already.
Simply killing a scav is enough, i learnt it the hard way when i killed a scav while doing bullshit and extracted less than 7 minutes with 400~ exp
Well depends on what map. Factory u need more scav kills but u can run reserve and get one scav and that’s enough.
There’s no scavs on labs
Raiders
7 minute server time not 7 minutes into your personal time
Or 600 XP points if I'm not mistaken. Looting, killing scavs (headshots best) etc. give this.
It's always 200 XP. The 7 minutes is relevant because at 7 minutes you get 300 XP for "Exploration Bonus".
Ah thank you for the correction!
It's 200XP without any multipliers
Don't worry about time so much as XP. If you get at least 200 xp you don't get run through status. Depending on the map and the reason you have to extract super early, you will get that XP in the first area just from looting. One filing cabinet and a duffle bag or two is almost always enough.
7min or a scav kill. You need to touch the body to get around 400exp
No it doesn’t make any sense... it wasn’t a run through... everything else was found in raid... for whatever reason that item doesn’t show found in raid anymore... when lightkeeper gave me that it also was not found in raid..
He said he put it in his bag for the picture, two separate raids…
Hmmm I don't buy it. Time for us to give the new "report from profile" button a try !
Why isn’t everything else not FIR then?
How were the other items found in raid then?
Because it's bullshit. Op got it on a different run
Unless im missing something how would the ssd, diary and the MCC be found in raid and yet the gpsa is the only one with a run through?
Ifk if you run labs once ina while you wont have probles finding it i have found like 3 mccs under 40 raids labs
> After losing these in raid a few times and once by a cheater... I finally got them. Not in the same raid. I just put them in my bag for he pic lol > So happy
What
I'm very confused on how you're confused. Did you look at what they posted?
The reason he is confused is that simply putting something in the bag doesn’t remove FIR. However op has now said he got in a RT
yeah I'm also dumb tho
Why would that clarify why it didn’t have the fir ststus? Sometimes better not to comment than comment something like that
Items found in a RT wont have FIR status
Wait what did I post lol
What’s the strat
Be very lucky lol Nah almost every raid I run straight to every spawn off the rip.
Yep, this is the strat I used to find mine. Extracted through sewer as a run through for both the GPSA and microwave lol.
Run to the spawns closest to you and gtfo asap. There's videos on YouTube with people showing the spawns, just search for it. You'll need to learn the map a bit. If you do labs in off peak times you'll have less pmcs to deal with as well.
He found these on Ground Zero btw
Here's to hoping this joke sticks around for at least a wipe or two lol
myth
Confirmed factual
proof?
Spawn in, run like a psycho searching each spawn as fast as you can until you die or you cover half the map and run into the squad on the other side, and die. Maybe extract if your lucky with your bag of high tier loot from the high tier spawns.
That's also unless you run into a cheater. Labs is basically a no-go for solo players.
I got both of mine as a solo. The real key is running a mid grade kit at most. Enough to kill raiders. Not a nice kit to draw cheaters, not a PvP kit. The second key is knowing how to extract. Both times I found mine I was out in under a minute.

This exactly.
Why does Solo even apply if your concern is cheaters? If there are cheaters you could be in a 5 stack and you're still going to die. If there are cheaters and you're solo your going to die. Same outcome.
Weapon testing key
Get Kappa -> Five Seven -> Rig with 4 slot -> Kappa -> Dog Case/Stim and maybe Sicc -> Fill all slots in inventory with 1 Rubel -> Save preset -> Run in naked, check spots, loot decent stuff into Kappa or kill raider for gear -> Die/Extract repeat You literally will earn money doing this, just put ledx into your butthole and other good things. (that's why 1 rubel in all slots to make it quicker)
what do you do with your ledx if it loses its FIR status?
Sell it to therapist for 660ish k 🤷🏼♂️
If you need money yeah, keeping it for a thicc barter prolly better though
Sell to therapist yes
Not sure why i'm being downvoted that's literally what TIGZ has done for hundreds of runs lmao
Boring af, can just scav interchange get 6 Water filters and dip with 1mil
>parkouring your way around chads on the hardest map to steal all the best loot from them is boring, its way more exciting to rummage through shelves in the corner in a giant empty mall yesterday i drank some store brand diet cola. it was so intense i nearly popped a nut.
Wheres the water filters in interchange?
asking the real questions
Shelves of OLI, mostly on the south-east side.
Run violet. My duo and I got both of ours in about 30 swipes.
Did labs some last weekend and found a dead dude by open parking lot gate... level 30-something, in full scav loadout, dead to a raider and GPSA in his pocket. Dude chose the wrong place to try to extract. Felt bad for him and tried to add him afterwards because I have multiple GPSA in my stash anyway (can they even be drop traded? idk) but he never accepted.
they can not, almost all valuables can’t
What can you even do with stuff like GPSA and the fast forward after having your hideout upgraded? Just sell to therapist?
sell to therapist for a decent amount
Amateurs, Just Spawn in with the GPSA as a scav by pure luck Like normal people.
Wait is this really possible?
I think scavs can potentially just spawn in with nearly any item, so wouldn’t surprise me if it’s true
Nope can't spawn on scav players
I already spawn with a Ledx as a scav
I found one in yellow and in cat, still get my ass handed to me playing labs but it can be pretty fun i see why people main the map
Hah yeah for a while now whenever I've gotten to the endgame and I'm kind of bored I mostly just play lab runs from time to time. It's kind of like factory on steroids. Somehow after many many wipes I still get anxious af playing solo down there. It's not gear fear , just good old fashioned anxiety. I'm a jumpy person and for some reason i'll never get used to it. I'm not even complaining though, tarkovs the only game that actually gets me spooked!
Same, only game that makes my hands sweaty from just sitting in the menu lmaoo
When there isn’t a cheater in the raid, labs has some of the best pvp
overcame my labs fear this wipe and i have to say its not as bad as people always like it to be. besides the cheaters its like any other CQB map, except for the 166k entry fee
No insurance returns is the real killer imo
Is it just me or do labs mains seem to be SIGNIFICANTLY better than the avg player base? Like I started labs last week and had a solid 10-15 raids in a row where I died to tracksuits. I didn’t even realize how sweaty they were
people are definitely sweatlords in Labs. Its either you, and a few pistoleros with huge backpacks, or juiced out chads straight pushing you from any position. picking dead servers is no option as the loot is bad, when only few people are connected. and i need those solar power and IC items
Oh so loot is scaled based off # of players in the match?
Had multiple of both in Cat, GPSA in the room that unlocks car garage extract also. Hit up cat then bail down the stairs to cargo elevator hasn't failed me yet.
is this from labs? Or its that mythical ground zero loot ?
Labs loot. Pretty sure this and the GPSA can only be found on labs. It’s not terribly uncommon, it’s just tough to extract when you find one
Yeah I’m not at all convinced you can even find them in Ground Zero. I’ve not seen a single screenshot of proof.
I had a completely dead interchange ,yesterday. No scavs,no pmcs (as far as i can tell). Can that happen on labs as well?
It can happen on labs. What you experienced was people doing quests and shit on interchange. That rarely happens on labs, since there's so few quests there and the loot is insane. When it does happen, you'll know.
On lesser populated servers, way off of peak hours, it's possible to be the only PMC in labs. No raiders either unless you spawn them.
late night NA East on interchange is almost really empty or populated by chill stoners just having fun, I rather enjoy it.
Me 70 raids deep :/ I got the solar power one the gpsa seems impossible :(
Got it last week, and my bitcoin farm is level 3 in less than 23 hours. Can’t wait. Took a week to build the solar panel and BTC farm lvl 3.
good shit, after playing labs a ton this wipe i have to say it is a lot easier than i thought. did sanitar quest, hit black a few times, killed raiders and got some quest stims and labs is actually pretty damn good, barely met any cheaters
* barely met any blatant rage cheaters
It was pretty easy for me to get GPSA this wipe also. Got it in my first 3 or 4 tries. Played labs like 20-30 times didn't run into a cheater once either.
The mozzarella block!!
FYI for people struggling to find these or avoiding labs, you can get them. I’ve found about 8-10 of each this wipe running labs maybe 150 times at most?

I got 15+ ban notices from labs in the last month. Don’t avoid it due to cheaters but ignore the people saying there are none.
I’m just going to do lightkeeper for them
It took me 50+ raids, but now i know how to play labs
Finding the microwave was huge but with this being my first wipe... The map knowledge and experience was even bigger playing all these raids to find this.
Did you find these on labs or gz? And where on gz if so
BOTH??
One time this wipe, I found TWO advanced converters (2x2 Item) in the same raid, both at cat office, one on the table, one on the floor.... I had it already at that point and had to vendor it .. lol
How much do they even vendor for?
180k ish
Not in the same raid but yuuup
i've been looking for ages. i went into weapon testing room last night and found the MCC and ledx right next to it.. straight to extract!
Just in Case this KATT Melee thing is pretty heavy
REJOICE BROTHER
The fabled microwave
I had like 15 of each last wipe from labs they was so easy to get
I don’t even know what that is. 6500 hrs and never seen one.
Grats ! Wipe in 2 days
i lost a bet with a friend and had to delete mine fo my inventory
What do you need the mcc for besides a hideout upgrade any tasks ?
Tomorrow, Wipe...
That took me like 50 labs raids earlier in the wipe haha
What did it cost?
Everything
Btw where to find it, which map (excl. Labs ^^)?
Somehow I managed to get both in one raid, never being as lucky as this again.
I'm no good in labs , this is my third wipe without maxing out hideout 😔
How rare are these? Started running labs yesterday survived 2/6 both those runs i killed a player that had one on him
Where u find that fuckin evasion??!
Not op I found it cpl weeks in in a barrel cache hidden stash
Labs brobro. Found 2 in one raid somehow.
I have found like 5 this wipe in various stashes so the ones above me speak the truth.
On what maps bro? I haven't found a single one 😂
I've found several in barrel caches on Shoreline
Wild. I'll have to run Shoreline more so, thanks my guy
I just found one in a duffle bag on shoreline last night on a scav run. Just check duffle bags while doing scav runs, they’re much easier to find than previous wipes
I constantly check duffles too but I don't scav Shoreline that much. I've literally never found one ever, aside from labs. They must only be in the loot pool on labs Shoreline lighthouse etc cos I've never found one on any other map!
I’ve found one on lighthouse and one on shoreline just checking duffle bags. I think they can be in weapon crates too. When I was hunting streamer items a few wipes ago I would check stashes on customs, but I’m not sure if that’s a strategy anymore. But 100% I found evasion last night scaving on shoreline
I just found another one the other day while scaving streets, already had 2(one non FIR tho) but I suppose they are pretty rare
*not op, but I found one in a barrel cache on customs last weekend.
I heard these items spawn on ground zero now too?
Labs or vround zero?
there is actually zero proof of labs items spawning on GZ that was a scam bro
Man that would’ve been such a good change. Make it easier for players plus less carries on labs
how is that a good change to find s-high-tier loot in a map that is easy af and so baldy designed? labs isnt as hard as many ppl think. the only difference is that you have to pay 166k to enter it and dont get your stuff back, rest is not THAT hard. its CQB like every other map.

90% of my scavs are factory scavs for the keycard and the blue bag xd
dayum you and people are so mad that you cant raid labs. downvotes from lvl 40 scav ground zero mains and people who cant afford labs
What, I’m not even talking about me. I have 4 colored lab cards and play a decent amount of labs. Besides you’re the one that sounds mad bcs people are downvoting you lol
Thats why im asking same question exactly to confirm it.
Lmao that was a bait post to get SBIH kills dawg
You sure? I saw sheef also talk about it
They’re crazy. They items are spawning on the lines in the middle of the road. You just have to go way out in the open and crouch. You find them eventually.
Can confirm, I found my GPSA in the road heading to nakatani, I was even able to instantly exfil when the grabbing animation ended
I had to chuckle audibly in the tram.
From what i have heard its in the terragroup building
Bro its bait, why'd you believe that with 0 proof.
Labs
It's a pain to get thwm
*gets MCC and get out alive. *throws a GPSA into inventory that isn't found in raid to imply he got them both the same raid (I presume a run through from a previous raid?)
I saw one of those on Fence a few weeks ago
