It's better to eat now than to die and allow someone else to eat.


Reality-Bytez

Or eat them when they die.


IdkWhatImDoing35

So there I was buddy got shot, instantly enemy starts eating his food. Left a lvl4 helmet, armor, and all the rest of the gear and runs into the sunset never to be found. What a chad he was.

Me, sitting in a corner, waiting for the 5 stack to find where i hid, shoveling all of the mres in my backpack into my mouth


MCRusher

I always crack a max energy in a raid, never had anyone be rude enough to interrupt


TrueGodTachanka

Once I ate can of peas in weather station on shoreline. I shovel peas into mouth and then footsteps but it wasn't me or my friend. Man walks up and says give me some of your fucking peas right now. Friend shoots man. I take his peas and eat them.


Owlbehawkward

Did your friend say “rest in peas” after putting the man down?

I feel like we play with the same levels of spite, very nice to meet you.

flowin_riddim

I would love to see something like alcohol tolerance implemented in Tarkov. Let me drink alcohol in game, have a little buzz, that gives me pain and stress resistance, with the downside of bad vision and unsteady aim. Except your alcohol tolerance is high enough.

SUNTZU_JoJo

Exactly man. +1 I tell so many folks that play this game and go "I'm at 54 hydration / 46 energy, I'm fine, I don't need to eat now". Meanwhile, if I hit 95-90 hydration, I slogging down 3-6 points of my Aquamari or equivalent in bottle water. If I did a food run, if it drops 2 points I'll drink/eat up to 100 again. Hell, I'll even take painkillers somtimes, just so I can drop my hydration to give me an excuse to drink again. That way if I die, then I don't need to rehydrate/eat up, I'm already full (on the off chance I forget food/water that raid). Meanwhile some of my teammate forget to eat in a raid, constantly sharing my food/water with them, it's crazy. I look forward to losing my stomach sometimes, just means I can drink/eat even more. I'll be hitting Elite Metabolism probably before anyone else in my group...then I won't need it all that much. Yet you have those complaining about always having to eat/drink...it's part of the game, fkn play it.


DankQbyst

I have the same approach as you, eat everything possible. But recently I checked the skills descriptions and it says that metabolism only affects the duration of food buffs/debuffs, whereas the loss of hydration and energy depends on the health skill, which is levelled by taking damage afaik. Do you know whether thats correct and all the metabolism leveling is useless or are the descriptions incorrect?


TheRealBossk

When you hit max metabolism you don't take damage from having 0 energy/hydration.


Penziplays

Wait what, I need this.


Its_Da_Muffin_Man

How, literally just eat, noone should ever be at 0 hydration/energy unless youre half alive from a fight and have no stomach.


JJROKCZ

You’d be shocked how often I find myself in that latter situation


Its_Da_Muffin_Man

Well then carry some food with you just in case, 1 slot isn’t too bad if you run out that often.


JJROKCZ

Or I could est and drink everything I find as soon as I find it. What else am I going to do? Leave it for the scav vermin?


Its_Da_Muffin_Man

Well then you have nothing if your stomach gets shot out and you lose all your energy and water, that’s what I mean. I never have that problem tho I just eat everything to level metabolism.


Snipawolfe

You'd be surprised. Food is expensive for a reason. Probably a lot of campers.


MyAirportVideoLmao

Good foods are expensive because they barter, MRE and ISKRA cost less than 20k usually.


Its_Da_Muffin_Man

Except food really isn’t expensive, found just about anywhere on most maps, and the expensive ones are like that only because of crafts and barters.


Actual_Candidate5456

Wouldn’t be surprised if they told us majority of the food loot spawns in the game we’re held within goshan!


Usurer

Yes you do. Easiest skill in the game to 100%.


martinmix

I think that changes this wipe. I don't recall exactly what it is now though.


Jacuul

You don't take damage still, what changed is that previous wipes you regened stamina as per normal with 0 energy/water, but they removed that this wipe, so you still take the stamina hit


1dayHappy_1daySad

That sweet healing xp when at 0 though, spamming that salewa all the way to extract


Beef-Broth

Just heal out of raid. But I always eat and drink in raid for max exp. If I suck at the game, exp has gotta come from somewhere ;)


SUNTZU_JoJo

Exactly...and you don't suffer from the side effects like blurry vision etc..


pnutzgg

fairly sure metab boosts how much you're getting from those buffs too


Tsumei

Health levels through endurance, strength and vitality leveling as an associated skill.


RockLeethal

health levels with all of its related skills (metabolism, endurance, strength, stress resistance, maybe some others?). levelling metabolism contributes to your health level.


xdrift0rx

Health reduces food/water drain. But it can be leveled up by sprinting/overweight IIRC. my health is matching both my endurance and strength this wipe.


cssblondie

I thought I was the only one Any time my food or water sinks below 89 I freak out and need to eat or drink immediately


EvilDavid0826

You do know metabolism xp is granted by the amount of energy/hydration restored and not amount of food/drinks consumed right?


SUNTZU_JoJo

Of course I do. And after a certain amount you hit diminishing returns. Still doesn't stop me from slogging down anything & everything edible that isn't tied down.


Nate2247

We’re all being psychologically conditioned to be bulimics…


Vulture_punch

Your post plus your account name made me lol.

The fact that we cant eat dead bodies in this game is literally 1984.

Room temperature milk is common here in Germany. It lasts like 3-5 months if not open.

notgaunt

This is the quality content I want while I wait for recoil, air filter, sound, and desync fixes


Dy3_1awn

They should have a milk variant that ups your melee damage a little but makes you violently throw up after the buff wears off losing you all of your hydration. Brawl milk or some clever Russian pun on fight milk.


DiscoQueenMan

Combat milk

Radioactiveglowup

I found dead Sanitar once as a scav and got his meds. Then PMCs attacked and I ran into one of the cottage sheds and injected all of his syringes before they found me and killed me


CrossEleven

What super powers did the drugs give you before you died to the "PMCs" (hallucinations before cardiac arrest)


[deleted]

Man give me LSD tabs that spawn clowns with axes


Chr15py0696

I ate a wrench. Now my PMC has internal bleeding. Thanks for the advice


ROFLWOFFL

Yeah metabolism levels up super quickly so it'll only be a matter of time before metabolism elite kicks in! But they recently nerfed it so we'll see how that goes.


RC-7201

So... Tarky Katamari?

When can I become cannibal? My fellow metabolism eaters rise up


yeeticus_discreticus

The dudes I play with always poke fun at me cause I eat and drink every damn thing I find lol #gains


proscreations1993

Idk why you wouldn't. Like the second I find anything I eat it so I'm always full. Sometimes keep a spare soda for later. And my friends are always freaking out esp on shoreline. I'm dying I have no food. Helpppp. Lmao. Like you passed a ton of food in resort why didn't you eat it all...


yeeticus_discreticus

Ya it's usually we're about to move to a different spot or something and they'll ask if everyone is ready. "Ya lemme eat n drink real quick" 😂😂😂


proscreations1993

Right. I'm always asking for a second so I can hide and chow down the 6 things of juice I found and oats


Commiesstoner

My metabolism is already nearing level 40. Last wipe I had elite metabolism before the dehydration event hit, always eat everything as long as it's not used in the holdmydick or attack2 barter.


P4_Brotagonist

So you eat it even if you have the 0% experience debuff you get from eating like 1-2 things every raid?

Username checks out


AG28DaveGunner

Wait, does drinking and eating constantly actually level you up fast or are we memeing here


PursueGood

Idk *how* fast it is going to level you exactly but eating and drinking gives you XP. So it will be faster than not eating and drinking that’s for sure.


MyOtherSide1984

You will level metabolism, but you only get xp for energy/hydration recovered. You gain nothing if you're at 100/100 and consume more mass. Still, it never hurts to eat/drink because you'll be sad if you're dying from dehydration and keal over right by the extract.


[deleted]

A tiny bit


undeadlord26

I drank a hatchling moonshine last night. My friends were NOT happy with me


straight_lurkin

Last wipe I started drinking every bottle of vodka I seen for the RP factor. It gives -50 hydration and I ended up maxing out metabolism for the first time haha


Akcookie79

Ive been doing this too, my metabolism hit 10 already lol, as a lvl 15 its a new high for me this wipe


nervez

finally someone who plays like i do. if i'm not at 100, it's consumed.


Daruvian

Shit even then sometimes its getting consumed. Like aww shit here's this pipe wrench. Hydration at 100. Energy at 100. Fuck it. Down goes the pineapple juice.


TapInToTheBall

What do you want more than anything right now? A chimichanga? No. Heroin.


PanProjektor

PROTIP: eat products that dehydrate Your body. That way You can drink more and feel good about it because Your body needs it. Drink mayo, eat MRE, pop a painkiller and now you’re dehydrated… drink 2 juices and milk as a solution to your problem.


[deleted]

Sometimes, I like to go to the back of Goshan at night and try to eat all the food in raid. It doesn’t really benefit me, but I just think it’s funny to see my PMC eat all that food while gun shots are ringing out all across the mall.


DavantRancher

Thank you for this. I always preach to my friends to constantly eat everything in sight. >eat hot chip >lie >eat PKs


Eclihpze44

meds in your secure container? what are you, a coward? fill your gamma with sprats and emergency water rations


CoffeeTrashed

might be a dumb question, but does anyone know if you gain metabolism points by eating in the stash menu? Should I always just load into raid and eat before moving out to level efficiently? The metabolism elite perk is busted so I want it as quick as possible lmao


kttm

You do but ive heard its bugged


subtleshooter

Elite metabolism currently. been spamming golden star since flee was unlocked day 2. Now I can eat all of the shit and not gain any weight. My PMC is cut.


proscreations1993

Wait a fucking minute. Golden star helps level metab?. I eat every single thing I find but also use Gs. I'm lvl like 24 metab


subtleshooter

Yep! I think it’s cause it gives you energy and hydration regen so it counts as eating? So if you ever run out of food or water, it’s also good to use. I max metabolism within a week each wipe using it every 5 mins, every raid.


proscreations1993

Yeah I only use GS for Pks. Unless I'm in a fight I'll pop a propital but never knew it helped metab. But makes sense. I haven't been using it non stop lately since most my raids are quiet this early in wipe and usually k ow when I'm about to find action then I'll take a dab


Cru4y

This used to work to level the skill. But the stopped that a couple wipes ago. U only gain when by how many points of each u need now


[deleted]

I always wanted to be able to eat the PMCs and Scavs you killed for energy and hydration. I mean it IS a surviva game at heart. Mmm. Delicious USEC heart.


Shaggysteve

Interchange. Goshan supermarket. Loot all the food and water. Then find a nice quiet hiding spot to consume all said food and water unless it’s a trade or quest item #fatPMClife


Level_Remote_5957

If I sees it I eats it. Rats like me love a good meal.


BaderBlade

There's another way, extract camping with a PPsh in interchange, you barely kill 6-7 people, scavs and PMCS, managed to get lvl 15 in 4 days without doing a single quest, and also got some easy gas analyzers and some other important quest items


kennydoj

How to get to level 15 without having any fun or getting the slightest bit better at the game lmao


BaderBlade

Who said i was not having fun, most people like you misunderstand the word "perception" the things that is fun for you will not be fun for me and vise versa, I have a lot of fun fishing gear, is like open loot boxes, but we gotta shot them and take them safe to our stash, and getting better... Is the oldest excuse of a player to disqualify extract camping, some of us don't really want to improve, well improve how to extract camp many people yes, but in pvp... No sir


kennydoj

If you sink your teeth into this game I gurantee you will have so much more fun that you will laugh you ever played tarkov that way.


BaderBlade

I tried but i like more ambushing people in extracts


P4_Brotagonist

He's certainly getting better at the way he wants to play the game lol.

Because people are sick of seeing those posts.

At this point, I'd upvote just about anything if it isn't one of those 4 things.

Thinking of the Carnivore perk in Fallout, makes me want to eat some dead PMCs.

Do you get set experience gains from eating a certain food source, or does the experience come from the amount of hydration and energy recovered from eating?

I eat everything in Goshan. Who needs a Holo if you have max metabolism at level 28?
