First off, I want to say that Tarkov is – without any doubt – one my favourite games of all time and I love playing it every day – be it even if I die to another PMC.
However what I want to talk about here is something else. More and more people have issues completing certain quests such as "Top Secret" or "Chemistry Closet" due to the fact that certain keys are needed to unlock the corresponding rooms. Obviously, if you do not own the correct key, the next best logical thing would be to go on the Flea Market and look up the prices, simply to realize that these cannot be bought with money (I mean roubles). Instead, these keys can ususally only be bought via a barter trade for a Twitch Rivals Armband. Personally, I do not understand why the choice exactly fell to a Twitch Rivals Armband, as there's nothing "special" (in my opionion) about it. Additionally, I have never in my time of playing Tarkov found any Twitch Rivals Armband. I also want to say here that even though some of these keys can be found on Scavs or in jackets, this has personally never happened to me neither to any of my mates. It it simply just annoying to be stuck on these quests for several weeks. Usually the only method to get around this is to ask streamers who've already aquired Kappa Container to unlock the room for you. I want to quote a tweet from Axel_TV here:
"More than 1 month into the wipe, I still cant buy the cottage key ( quest ). There is 300 offers on the flea, all for the twitch rivals armband or some random shit ffs. Flea marked should have very low commission and people should be able to ask any price for their item.
(The tweet can be found here: )
Clearly something needs to be done concerning this problem.
Let me know your thoughts on this.
Cheers
