Small tips here for you guys who wants a more fair but a realistic experience. Disable "Always aim for center mass" and increase the scatter mutliplier to your liking. Personally, I my Thorax/Abdomen gets insta black way too often. With the settings above AI will hit your limbs way more which feels like PvP Tarkov. Additionally you might want to decrease the "Headshot chance" too. I tuned it down to 15% from the default 33% iirc.
Thanks dude. I'm gonna try this as every time I engage a pmc I get my stomach blacked out immediately. I saw that setting but left it on because I assumed it would just result in getting head eyes'd instead lol.
the issue with scatter is that they mostly never hit when they are sniping from over 100m. Keeping the scatter to 1 and increasing the recoil does the same when full auto, but can still hit their shots when sniping you. Higher recoil means lower rate of fire as well
There's also an advanced setting for "center of mass point of aim" that you can adjust a bit to slide it up. Seems as though the SAIN default is "right in the stomach" instead of the chest. Moving it up made the insta-blackout stomach issue virtually disappear, but I got shot in the arms even more than on live (nothing extra hp from SVM can't fix). Despite this, I eventually went the same route - disabling it entirely - but I haven't changed any other settings yet. Still testing whether I like this more than the tweaked center mass setup.
gotta ask, the "Always aim for center mass" is that their ideal aim would be a singular center mass point (roughly located in the stomach) right? where do they aim then if its off? is there a moving point? i would like to know so i can adjust to what i feel matches my experience in regular tarkov
You can also go into the advanced settings and offset where "center mass" is and adjust it upwards to be more towards your thorax, as by default center mass is your stomach (and having to constantly CMS your stomach after every fight gets old really fast)
I agree with @viniqo, you deserve a medal for this. I was hoping somebody do SOME KIND of explanation of (some - cause some are unclear) features in SAIN.
I started a new profile, and I had a PMC extract camping me on Ground Zero. He was on top of the army truck next to emercon, Sain is ridiculously fun now!
"Thats Lit" is also a great mod to combine with Sain. It affects AI vision with terrain, grass, bushes, trees, silhouette', etc. Sain has it's own version of "NoBushESP" built in, and "Thats Lit" works extremely well with it. IMO.
Thanks for the vid. Had enemy PMCs hit first shots on me while I was prone 200m away while they're walking sideways and I was out of my depth with the menu.
Hey StarVox thanks for all your videos. Been playing Tarkov forever but still learning how to use SAIN. Never going back to live servers. Do you happen to know how to make it so the Goons are hostile towards everyone including AI Scavs? It's always been sorta strange to me that they're cool with the scavs from a lore perspective. I like the idea of going into a raid and hearing the Goons mop up the map. Seems like something they would do. So far, I have not been able to figure it out.
I actually don't do anything at all for loot and have never really seen the need. If there's enough interest, I could feature something in that regard, but I rarely think about it.
Have you or has anyone else noticed bots snap fire reacting to your shots or to you throwing a grenade in under a half second? Usually they snap react and fire 1-3 shots dead center on my chest if im within line of sight. Even when im in buildings i can tell they're lighting up the wall where i am
That's definitely a thing in many cases, mine included. It just takes a little configuration, the presets are designed to be worked to your preferences. Start with the Difficulty group, then move to the General group and adjust the scatter and speed multipliers. Do this all in a raid with bots present and invincibility on to see how they perform and change. You'll get the hang of it very quickly and see how to make the bots both easier AND harder.
I have one question tho (had two, but forgot the second one). What is the difference between Difficulty Precision Speed and Accuracy Speed setting?? What exactly what does each one mean, cause I am still confused. An example would be appreciated :)
Precision Speed controls how quickly they will actually hit the target they aim for, like your head. Accuracy Speed controls how long it takes them to correct rapid fire at a target, like your body as a whole. It's very nuanced and the differences would likely feel subtle unless you use one full end or the other of the slider. In any case, they make the bots more or less capable of landing their shots.
Hello again sir! Im curious about some setting or even mod which makes ai tarvel to +- my location. kinda live-like expirience - i spent ~ 1.5 hours watching stream while chillin at sawmill after killing Shturman and all of the scavs around aaaaaaand noone comes to kill him and check his safe like ppl usually do in live version :C
Do you have or know of a preset that makes scavs act somewhat like behave more intelligently but have massively reduced accuracy and vision? Seems I can never seem them before they start shooting at me. Or maybe a graphic mod will help me.
What mod can I use to adjust how many bots spawn on my raids? Ever since I used a mod to increase my raid timers, every raid seems to be extremely quiet and if I run into an enemy it'll alway be a PMC and not a scav.
you have two options. you can manually edit server config file for max bot cap per map. probably the distibution of pmc/scavs as well. the donuts mod has presets for bot respawn frequency and possibly manipulation of bot caps. presets for more or less pmc presence exist. all within the f12 menu in-game. donuts' config file can also be edited for max bot cap per map. it seems you might want to use starting pmcs only plus more scavs preset. respawns will continue until the end but pmcs will be fixed and won't respawn. only surviving pmcs plus fresh scav spawns is what you'll encounter late raid.
@@memedbengul4350 I have starting PMCs only with more scavs on, but scavs only show up after like 20 minutes. I will check out the cofig files and see if I can do anything there.
Could've been a bug but the other day I encountered a scav that was seemingly "cheating". The setting for cheaters was off, so I wonder if one slipped by or something. It was teleporting around taking shots at me before I finally caught it with a headshot.
Does anyone ever have the problem where all the robots spawn in but are invisible except their gear. Also bosses not spawning even tho boss indicator says they are in raid
The only thing I could think of is the ai limiter that would not load the Ai that is in the defined range. I've had similar problems when farming Zryachiy, when looking at him from over 200 meters, I only saw his SVD but he was invincible. Until I increased the ai limit range.
Hi i noticed a strange thing while playing - looks like there is super hard PMC even on baby bots diff or... Other cheater human players connecting to my local server?)))) one-shot or few shot instant dying from pmc,s shooting during sprinting or jumping with nicknams like humans
I tried to make bots easier and more realistic but somehow the game just spawns groups of 3 or 4 pmcs now that come right to you and ruin your shit right away.
@@thestarvox Because i can't normally play. From one bullet they broke leg or arm. If i will play like this, i will loose all money and weapons, so i need to press alt+f4
Have you tuned the difficulty presets and changed which bot level is selected at the beginning of a raid? You should be testing with God Mode or some equivalent so that you don't die in the process, otherwise it'll take forever to figure out what you need.
@@thestarvox I switched from default to less difficult or baby bots, cuz i don't know what to change (my english is bad, so i often can't understand some settings
I don't care about new maps, we have super stable aki rn and 90% of mods are up to date and more coming. Can't be happier with SPT state rn. Just go into a raid full equipped, bump up the difficulty and enjoy the ride😊
Sorry if I'm late to the party, but am I the only one that is always getting a blacked out stomach no matter how much "scatter" the bots have. fucking hate it
there's an advanced option for center mass offset, you lift it up and they'll hit you on the thorax instead, also fiddle with the recoil in the shot section, and in global settings check the scatter multiplier, lift that one up just a little bit like .05 more and keep playing around
Thank you so much, only recently found out about SPT AKI and your channel has been a treasure for me!
That's great, I hope you're enjoying the game!
This dude needs waaaay more subs! Such good content
I appreciate that!

6:59 I love the laugh in your voice when turning this on aim for the head, thanks
Good catch! You're welcome!
Thank you for the tip. Best mod ever for Tarkov
Thank god!!! lol I’ve totally messed mine up trying to adjust. Starting scratch tonight. I want difficult, not impossible 😂
I got SAIN just for the subsonic changes and was quickly overwhelmed by this menu, thank you for covering everything
You’re welcome!

Can we we get a guide on loot settings/mods or so you just run default settings?
I actually don't do anything at all for loot and have never really seen the need.
If there's enough interest, I could feature something in that regard, but I rarely think about it.
How do you open the settings?
F6 on keyboard (ingame of course) 😊

That sounds wild, if you could show us some capture of that in the Discord server, it would be very helpful.
