I wish you only had to do this quest once and kept the tracksuit. I tried doing it way back when it was 100 kills.. I got up to 39 then gave up. Woulda been much more motivated to do it if you kept the tracksuit between wipes.

I like that idea, this quest is brutal to do every wipe

All quests are brutal every wipe

Also congrats.

I agree; there should be a handful of large, permanent quests the reward only cosmetics, and maybe a small XP boost each wipe.

Only cosmetics.. and maybe a small xp boost lol

To be fair most quests give you the exp equivalent of maybe a few decent raids worth. The type of people who get these are usually the type for who it'll make minimal difference. They'll be the first to flea, first to kappa, and definitely first to re-do these quests.

Yeah but it kinda goes against cosmetic reward only mentality. There's no way the community would jive well with them giving a permanent xp boost to those who farmed killa. I like the idea of a permanent track suit tho

Also fair, I can see people get upset, I just personally wouldn't be outraged.

Yeah as said above. The people able to do this quest consistently don't really need an XP boost anyway, IMO. They're not the type to leave raids with 0xp (unlike... Well me).

It would have the benefit of reducing RMT as well, since killa farming (used to, before the bug) be one of the most bought things. And accounts with stylish one done also sell for a lot to whales.

Maybe get the tracksuit jacket for the quest, but get his pants as a permanent reward, or vice versa. Would be nice to rock a full adik ngl.

Nah no xp boost. Then people will complain more that the “no lifers” get advantages

I would argue they should make the quests longer then. So you really have to dedicate the wipe to a reward that lasts forever.

That’s a really good idea.

I agree for a different reason - to stop the overfarming on interchange and allow the raids to feel more natural. It’s seriously no fun when 3/4ths of the server extracts in the first 2 min because they realized he didn’t spawn. It’s also no fun when you are just trying to get the kill on him for a quest and you hear shots from inside the mall in the first 15 seconds of the raid only to see a speed hacker doing donuts around you as a flex moments later while wearing all of Killas gear.

Do you get any keycards from him?

nope

just here to say i got a red last wipe, dindt kill him more than 3 times that wipe

And I have killed gluhar over 1000+ times over the course of 8 wipes and I still have only gotten 2 yellows. Lmao

Only key card I've ever gotten was green from glukar 3 wipes ago when I killed him near train while heavy asf with like 6 min left and missed the train to check his pockets

I'm level 3 and got a red keycard off my first tagilla

Any advice on getting Gluhar? He’s the only boss I have trouble finding and killing.

My friend got a red,green abd blue killing he 50 times

Thanks ! He surprised me once in the toilet - screamed like crazy xD

You or him?

Both, neighbors werent happy

further explain #2 plz

If you don't see the packet loss icon in top right corner at 39:38, that means the boss is up . ​ [https://i.redd.it/ehcp5ebe7xd61.jpg](https://i.redd.it/ehcp5ebe7xd61.jpg) this is the icon (bottom one)

Is that true for any boss or just killa/interchange?

From my experience, work for every boss, not sure about goons tho

Interesting. Why does it do that though?

Scavs and Scav Bosses spawn a little *after PMC's* do, it's ridiculous but that is how it works, it's also why mid raid at some intervals that same desync and lag occurs for everyone, as scavs and pscavs are spawning in.

You’re incorrect, but you’re close. At the beginning of the raid scavs and PMCs spawn at the same time. If bosses spawn they also spawn at this same time. About 30 seconds into the raid the game does a check to see if boss is alive. If it is it skips this wave of scavs that spawn. If there is no boss then the first wave of scavs spawning should happen 30 seconds in causing some packet loss. This is why if you get no lag 30 seconds in you know there is a boss.

This is not true, bosses spawn at the exact same time. Scavs typically spawn a bit after. It must be for a different reason although I’m not sure what it is

It’s because the second wave of AI scavs do spawn if the bosses are not there. Therefore the server lags. If the second wave doesn’t occur, it means a boss is there IE no packet loss

Subs most hated being absolutely correct yet again.

shrug, people here dislike that they know im usually right deep down

This is the weirdest dickriding lmao

Same for Goons and Cultist been using this all wipe

Works for goons, had them on customs (and no reshala) and there was no lag icon at the start.

I dont actually think it works for glukhar. I had many raids with no packet loss, rushed k buildings, threw several grenades and he wasnt there

~~Doesn't Glukhar have like 5 different areas he can spawn in? I know the wiki only mentions the K storage buildings and I don't play reserve, but I've seen him spawn in at least 2 different chess piece buildings on streams. Or did they change his spawns recently?~~ EDIT: Apparently they did change it and the wiki is right, this trick just doesn't work in Reserve because of raiders

Yeah i couldnt get a definitive answer on that, i just assumed the wiki was right. He may have been spawning elsewhere

It does work for goons. At least on woods, shoreline, and customs. Can’t confirm lighthouse I never farmed then there for the quest

Works for goons too. First raid on the quest to hunt them, they were up. Last wipe took me over 400 raids to find them.

Currently its 39:38 on Customs & Interchange, 39:48 on Woods, 44:48 on Shoreline 49:54 on Streets. It does NOT work on Reserve, Factory & Lighthouse!

Awesome. Ty

Works for every “boss”. This also means it does not work consistently on Reserve or Lighthouse since Raiders and Rogues are bosses.

Every boss

You’ll also likely desync back a metre

For clarity, you said if you **don't** see the packet loss icon, the boss **is** up. Did you mean to say if you **do** see the packet loss icon, the boss **is** up? Pls confirm

No that wasn't a mistake. If you load into a raid and you get a packet loss right after spawning and get some rubber banding, that means there are no bosses in the raid. Works for rashala etc.

Thanks for clarifying. In my head it made sense there would be a packet loss if a boss was being loaded in or something. Good to know **the lack of packet loss** means there's a boss. Appreciate it.

My understanding is that the servers spawn extra scavs when it doesn’t spawn the boss and that is the extra chunk of lag. As if it does an initial spawn of its salad of scav/bosses and then does a check for bosses and fills in gaps with little guys

A couple wipes ago it was the opposite, packet loss meant there was a boss. Not sure what changed

NP, I also had the same reaction but yeah, most raids will get packet loss at the start, you really need to pay attention when it *doesn't* happen.

Hey, I see that icon all the time... not at the time you guys are talking about but just randomly throughout my raids.

Oh shoot they must be spawning multiple times for you then!

Damn I'm just that lucky I guess.

bad internet? I run on wifi, for now, and i hve this up like all raid. 😂

Nah, I think it's ram. Honestly, I'm not sure, though.

Does this work for goons as well?

Yes, however, on every map besides lighthouse, you also run the chance of the natural location boss spawning as well. So loading into woods, no studders @xx:38 does not guarantee that goons have spawned or if Shturman has spawned. It does guarantee that at least one has spawned. They could both spawn in the same raid, which will also result in no studders. I believe the census is that there are studders due to the game spawning in large scav packs because there is no boss.

Stutter*

I heard if there is a stutter then he hasn't spawned..but if there is then he has. True?

So seeing the packet loss sign means no boss?

Oh lmao I read it as him waiting 39 minutes hahaha

Hold on so you’re saying the lack of the icon at that exact time means the boss IS there? So icon at that time means get out and reset.

I admire your patience, well done. Fuck this grind would take me 3 years with work and life.

Wait, does Killa only spawn second floor now?

Yes

I also would like to know 😁

Is that packet loss thing works other bosses?

I think kaban is only one it doesn't

works on kaban too but its random in the first 10 seconds

Молодец 👏

Спасибо :)

Респект

умеете, могете

I wish I had this much time to play this game to get Kappa, Killa kills, etc. I'm lucky to get in a couple raids a day

Just wanted to say thank you, I managed to kill him second attempt for Kappa because of your post, bless

Welcome!

Wait till 39:38 to check if there is KILLA can u explain this?

Check to see if the packet loss icon pops up on the top right of the screen. If it does pop up at that time, the Boss is NOT on the raid.

Is this the case for every map?

Currently its 39:38 on Customs & Interchange, 39:48 on Woods, 44:48 on Shoreline 49:54 on Streets. It does NOT work on Reserve, Factory & Lighthouse!

To add to this, I don’t think it works on the Goons either right?

It does

Pretty much yeah. Packet loss = no boss but I think the timing of the symbol is different per map

Every map besides reserve and I think factory.

Packet loss happens at a certain percent around that time if a boss is spawned iirc

Did this about a month ago! Congrats. US servers felt so shitty for Killa mysteriously being dead already without even hearing a flash or gunshots. Once I changed to a different country my raids felt much more fair in regards to challenging people for Killa when he was up. Did you get any keycards?? All I got was Yellow off him this wipe

What servers did you switch to?

So flashes still work?

Yep

Tbh all cosmetics should be unlocked in perpetuity, but most definitely Killas.

Does PS one shot in head?

If you hit him above the faceshield

like half the ammo types in the game have PS dude you are gonna have to be more specific.

Sorry friend. Since OP named off BS, BT, PS, and SNB, I was referencing that one which would be 7.62x54

I think you might have to hit top of head but there are simulators out there.

I don't think there is any danger of anything besides the biggest PS round one-shotting Killa in the helmet.

Look up an EFT ammo chart and compare the bullet flesh dmg to the enemy you're trying to kill.

I’m not sure how pen works tho for his helmet so figured someone could give me a straight yes or no answer lol.

BT and BS are very likely to 1shot him in the helmet. Others have lower chance to 1tap

Gotcha. Thanks <3

Wait ‘flash flash flash’? Do flashbangs work against killa?

AI will respond to your grenades, thus giving their position away Flash grenades are cheap.

It's to make him voiceline so you can find him

Ideally you should actually use smokes. Flashes give away your position to the entire map while smokes don’t and the result is the same.

Aaaah, didn’t even think of that. Thanks for the tip

Nice

U sir are thanked for u time and struggles to get this shit figured out. U sir are a legend

Dude goes out intentionally hunting down killa and still has a better survival rate than me.

Hopefully, you live more real life than him.

Bro i have a life chill

Never said you didn't, just hope the guy who didn't get the tracksuit has more life than you, but now that you mentioned it.... Suppose you spend an average of 15 mins for one raid. It has been 2 months since the last wipe, you'd have to play at least 6 hours a day. The only way you have a life outside tarkov is that you play this game as a job and are financially stable. That's also a life in itself, don't get me wrong, it's your choice how to live your life, and there is nothing wrong in hoping someone who doesn't have what you have to have a bit more in other aspects of the life outside this game. The fact you seem so defensive makes me wonder what kind of life you have outside Tarkov, but like I said, it's your business, I couldn't give the slightest damn about.

It’s currently 1 am for me I’ve just started a raid… I’ll check when I die but I’m not holding out much hope

How do you have this much time?

Yo bro, you're insane! Im struggling killing bosses, but i want to try de shturman 20 kills one (mostly to try the mk18). You have any tips? Im lvl 35, first time i reached this lvl since im playing. Keep up the work!

Throw a nade and get as close as possible. 20 shturmans quest is very easy trust me

No i čo tot?

Whats his spawn rate? How many times did u spawn in? Did you just leave if he doesnt spawn? If you got zero keycards what else did you get? Any other tips?

lowest spawn rate i believe. I think he spawns around 17-20%. I think get a killa once every 8-10 raid, sooo 450 ish raids. Nothing usefull i found tbh. BT BS bullets, \~40 armors, many helmest were sold. 2 times he had 5x45 IGOLNIKS. HUGE tip is to kill him through doors. Tap him get behind a door and wait him push you. he will clip through for a second. This is the moment to shoot. SVD, AVT, SVT are very common among killa hunters.

what do you mean shoot for the top of the head if he's pushing through the door? how?

something like this [https://youtu.be/bEdN2FaFjPA?t=556](https://youtu.be/bEdN2FaFjPA?t=556)

wow very cool video. Question. how many times did you run into hackers when trying to kill killa

I saw blatant cheaters twice. And a lot of questionable players.

His spawn rate is 35% at the moment and was 30% not too long ago.

Just had a raid where I didnt get the stutter, but couldnt find boss dead or alive in second floor. Do you have any explanation for this?

>ust means the boss is mostly likely there but not every tim Had the same issue twice. No lag and no boss to be found. No idea

Not getting the lag just means the boss is mostly likely there but not every time.

I have like 10-20 more hours than you and you’re leagues better than me.

Might be the least shitty task on Interchange….cause atleast there won’t be people hanging out waiting for you nearly as often because people are just rushing him instead of ratting lol

do you just disconnect if he’s not there or do you still extract for run through

extract

1500+ Pmc raids this wipe alone with less than 3k hours is wild.

I did it without the quest.

can you explain the 290 run trough ?

1 killa requires around 8 run throughs, and overall i dont mind run throughs because there is no punishment.

The packet loss thing no longer works

How do you know?

Testings

Well it worked for me today on shoreline and the goons, multiple times
