pve-chat

[onyx depot]

where have you ever seen a TOS that's legible and understandable to the average person?! :3

[stone goblet]

in fact wiki doesnt show it at all anymore

[hot sparrow]

Besides goons, goons are bs

[glacial osprey]

which is sad

[jaunty stream]

Ehh spawn rates change from time to time, I remember when we had weekends where a specific boss was 100% spawn. Idk if that's a thing anymore

[onyx depot]

anything that has to get shot in the face twice is bullshit

[hot sparrow]

Says 35% but I feel like I'm hitting it every time

[stone goblet]

Afaik boss spawns are 75%, cultists are 20-25%, goons are 30%

[hot sparrow]

Oh well imagine i shot big pipe 3 times with bt and bs

[quartz thicket]

bosses are lower

[hot sparrow]

And he lived

[jaunty stream]

They are 75% lol

[hot sparrow]

Nah cultists 25? That's generous

[stone goblet]

theyve been 75% since the start of 1.0

[hot sparrow]

Feels like 15

[jaunty stream]

Night customs

[hot sparrow]

Even on customs

[fast iris]

probably been asked a million times already, but does the craft for the armored case take time to appear or do i have to do something else?

[stone goblet]

Nah they started at 20% iirc and went up to 25%

[hot sparrow]

I've never seen a cultist

[glacial osprey]

customs and woods yes, shore is 30, factory and gz around 1%

[quartz thicket]

Tagilla day is still stuck at 50

[glacial osprey]

play more

[stone goblet]

but cultist spawn rate changes per map anyway

[hot sparrow]

Upgrade your hideout

[onyx depot]

they're doing their job well then 😄

[fast iris]

shits lvl 3 and its still not there

[hot sparrow]

Lavatory level 3?

[jaunty stream]

What happened to partisan? I've played so many raids and have yet to run into him since 1.0

[fast iris]

workbench but yes

[hot sparrow]

Did you do the quest for it?

[hot sparrow]

Well you can find him on PVE solo

[fast iris]

no i actually havent wiped and just asking for no reason, i havent done any of the story line yet

[onyx depot]

he's around, prolly jorking it in a bush somewhere

[hot sparrow]

And if you really wanna meet him, kill everything especially your teammates, hide in bushes, disconnect instead of dying

[hazy gorge]

He Rocked my shit while i was doing a zero to hero

[jaunty stream]

you need to wipe to do story stuff

[stone goblet]

pmc karma isnt in pve

[quartz thicket]

there is no pmc karma in pve

[onyx depot]

he's a bit of a party pooper

[glacial osprey]

no karma in pve

[hot sparrow]

Yea well I was talking about pvp but eh

[glacial osprey]

in pve chat?

[quartz thicket]

why

[jaunty stream]

this is pve chat

[glacial osprey]

smart decisions everywhere

[hot sparrow]

My bad i got high

[quartz thicket]

ok afroman

[jaunty stream]

Yeh idk I have yet to see him, Just a chill dude I guess

[glacial osprey]

im high on marked keys

[hot sparrow]

Anyways for pve, it's just luck

[glacial osprey]

a small chance of 15% to spawn

[onyx depot]

Kush Marked Room 420

[glacial osprey]

cultists are my dealers

[jaunty stream]

I don't need him since I got the achievement for him, just weird to have not seen him around

[hazy gorge]

I was sitting in the small building by the bridge on customs and suddently i get lit up

[hot sparrow]

Most hated trader?

[glacial osprey]

but i dont pay them, i smoke both cultists and their keys

[hazy gorge]

"oh shit im almost dead to a scav" it wasnt a scav

[glacial osprey]

ref. arena is junk

[onyx depot]

they are relatively reliable.. takes a bit of convincing tho

[hazy gorge]

[onyx depot]

100%!

[hot sparrow]

For me therapist, I don't see ref as a trader

[hazy gorge]

I love ref

[hot sparrow]

I don't think ref exists

[jaunty stream]

Nah not at all, if you enjoy arena it's so free

[hazy gorge]

But i also hate him

[glacial osprey]

and if you dont?

[hazy gorge]

Best dealers

[quartz thicket]

then its somewhere to grind skills

[jaunty stream]

It's a PvP arena centric trader

[hazy gorge]

I buy obdolbos from them

[glacial osprey]

you can grind in pve

[onyx depot]

i just found them now! gonna get me so dr00gs!

[quartz thicket]

its faster in arena

[hazy gorge]

Estrogen

[hot sparrow]

Anyways from the originals

[hazy gorge]

[onyx depot]

yes!

[hot sparrow]

So not counting ref

[jaunty stream]

Again doing 1 or 2 games to do dailies and getting loads of GP coins to spam red flares is a vibe

[hazy gorge]

I was correct, i only buy obdolbos from them i leave the rest for others (that shit was laced)

[glacial osprey]

then skier. he has a setup

or peacekeeper because sh*reline

[hazy gorge]

Bro i got the stupid hideout glitch

[onyx depot]

boobies!

[hot sparrow]

Not bad on pve, on pvp though I can agree

[jaunty stream]

Elite ref is peak, Also SOST, M80, M61, keys, cheap NV, Gpus, arena specific gear, Fuel, Repair kits, Thicc weapon and thicc cases

[glacial osprey]

s*tup

[hot sparrow]

What about shoreline?

[glacial osprey]

junk map. 90% of gameplay is "walk and run"

[quartz thicket]

nv's are cheap anyway, 1 rfid for quads

[hot sparrow]

I named peacekeeper shoreline cause obviously he sends me there

[jaunty stream]

58 GP coins for L3

[quartz thicket]

waste of gp coins, save em for armor repair kits and make 4m per pull

[hot sparrow]

The only reason I use ref for is green flares

[jaunty stream]

Red flares at 34

Solid buy if you are towards early game

[quartz thicket]

yk jaeger has the handheld ones?

[hot sparrow]

The handhelds can go to hell

[hazy gorge]

#screenshots message @onyx depot

[jaunty stream]

Also weapon mods, DD, SE5, 60 rounders

[hazy gorge]

Shit was laced bro

[jaunty stream]

couple gp each, if you run observer key decently you'll get a few coins from pve

[hot sparrow]

You gotta shoot them at a specific angle

[quartz thicket]

labs is good for little stacks too, yellow/res unit

[jaunty stream]

Yep yep

Ofc all your GP coins are going to be from arena either way

[hot sparrow]

Fuck blue

[quartz thicket]

yeah blue is 100% useless since the christmas nerf

[jaunty stream]

Going to go play some arena now tbh need to do weekly

[hot sparrow]

Nah i mean it was useless before that too

[quartz thicket]

nah it was spawning at least stims in every place before the nerf

[hot sparrow]

Black i guess is okay since you can get the new room and stims

[jaunty stream]

No black is awful now

[hot sparrow]

Weapon testing key is my fav

[quartz thicket]

just wait for a pmc ai to vacc the safe and kill them

[glacial osprey]

my fav is red and violet
i love gold

[quartz thicket]

violets good, red is a miss for me like 80% of the time

[onyx depot]

i got partizan and custists here! fml

[hot sparrow]

Same here

[hazy gorge]

Lucky..

[hot sparrow]

Oh great, get their knifes

[hazy gorge]

They should buff pmcs

[jaunty stream]

They should rework PMCs and give them some what decent kits or a mixed bag

[hazy gorge]

Man i remember the knifes going for almost half a mil on the flea before

[hot sparrow]

They should make killa talk more cause he is quiet as a mouse for me

[hazy gorge]

Ye that's what i meant by buff

[jaunty stream]

The normal AFAK and 1/2 nades is so boring

[hazy gorge]

80% used afak

[quartz thicket]

afak sells for like 40k if you can get a high health one tho

[jaunty stream]

Not the point tho is it

[hot sparrow]

It's just rouges at this point

[quartz thicket]

just the silver lining

[hot sparrow]

I'm willing to fight some ai with a gl even if it means bs but hey at least there's variation

[quartz thicket]

would be nice if the pmcs had some decent ammo half the time, stagger stacked mags on pmc ai would be cool to see

[glacial osprey]

sometimes they have 762 bp

thats the best ammo ive seen on ai pmcs

[quartz thicket]

all i see is PS

[hot sparrow]

Question, how many story tasks are there?

Cause im tryna get savior ending

[jaunty stream]

Alot

[hot sparrow]

Give me a rough number

[quartz thicket]

theres 7 stories with about 40 steps each

not including Tour

[hot sparrow]

Then I unlocked all ig

Labyrinth, unheard

And some other stuff

[quartz thicket]

9 stories* with tour

[hot sparrow]

Ngl I call unheard "250$"

I'll leave the thinking to you

[proper marsh]

Hi chat. Where can i find SG-10 radio trasmitter? Labyrinth is a good way or nay?

[hot sparrow]

Yea

[quartz thicket]

Labyr, Labs, Lighthouse

[hot sparrow]

Found one on there

[quartz thicket]

the big Ls

[proper marsh]

ok thx for the answer 😉

[hot sparrow]

I found the blank RFID card off some random pmc

[glacial osprey]

who?

[hot sparrow]

I ain't selling it

[quartz thicket]

cofdms

[glacial osprey]

reserve pkpts

[proper marsh]

i tried 40 times, 0 spawns....

[jaunty stream]

No cult circle?

[glacial osprey]

unlucky

[carmine burrow]

Lh has good spawns thats what were i found all of mine (besides markedroom keys xd)

[quartz thicket]

I got most of mine from the sled airdrops

[proper marsh]

i've never tried to be honest, i'll lokk for some recipies then

[jaunty stream]

bruh just 3 SMTs

[quartz thicket]

??circle

[quasi apex]

The cheapest confirmed circle recipes are all from Peacekeeper, here they are listed per trader level.
LL1 - 5 mp5's
LL2 - 2 MPX Suppressed #eft-chat message
LL3 - Flea dependent - G28 barter #eft-chat message (1 labs card)
LL4 - THOR IC armor⁠ #eft-chat message (1 sas drive)

[glacial osprey]

which recipes? which peacekeeper do you have?

[crystal umbra]

what is up with the snow in this game? on Customs/Interchange there is like 50/50 chance that it cuts off my FPS in half. Anyone else experiencing the same?

Like usually I have like 100+ FPS (even more with smooth motion) on these maps, but sometimes with the snowfall it falls down to like... sub 60s. Naturally, when I aim my scope, it gets even worse lol

[hot sparrow]

Turn your textures down to medium ig

[crystal umbra]

already tried that, still the same unfortunately

[jaunty stream]

Specs?

[crystal umbra]

i5 12600Kf, 32GB DDR4 RAM, 4070 TI SUPER 16GB

I am not playing on crazy ultra settings, just a mixture of medium-high and no DLSS since it doesnt seem to do much?

[jaunty stream]

ram and gpu is solid

[crystal umbra]

base fps on all these maps is like 80-100 usually

[hot sparrow]

If i hear someone say this is medium im gonna start crying

[crystal umbra]

at least it was pre snow

[vocal holly]

The snow has had an effect on my FPS. The falling snow especially as it's a persistant particle effect

[crystal umbra]

but with snow it sometimes go even as low as 51 lol

[onyx depot]

Love it when a plan comes together

[jaunty stream]

cpu is defo on the lower end for tarkov since tarkov is a 90% cpu game lol

[vocal holly]

I just miss what it was like pre-snow because it's been going on for so damn long

[onyx depot]

#screenshots message

[hot sparrow]

Snow had no impact on me

[jaunty stream]

I hit pretty much 360 fps on most maps, only map that ruins my fps is streets

[hot sparrow]

Ryzen 5 7600, RX7700 12GB OC, 32gb DDR5 and a 1tb nvme

I run it on 1080p though so it could be that

[jaunty stream]

Idk about snow being a hit for performance, I know it's been rough for tarkov recently

Customs upgrade looking towards red towers kills fps

Game also being ram dependent so if you don't have XMP or expo enabled you could be losing a solid chunk of performance, games favour cpu cache, any x3D amd chip will rock in performance metrics

[onyx depot]

what settings are you running in game tho?

we have similar setups and im nowhere near 360 fps

[crystal umbra]

Tbh i grew up on shitty fps in the early 2000s so I would deal with it either way. Its just the additional mega fps drop that comes with scoping in (that is in the game for a while now) makes the gunplay slightly unplayable in combination with the already lower fps

[jaunty stream]

Yehhh that's a tarkov thing

[hot sparrow]

Lemme check, you wanna get on vc and try it out?

[crystal umbra]

I guess its time to reject Vudu, embrace reflex sights

[jaunty stream]

I mean use it if you are willing to accept the fps hit

[hot sparrow]

Hear me out

HHS

[onyx depot]

pick a channel

[jaunty stream]

Like I drop from the mid 300s to low 200s when using scopes like that, Doesn't bother me too much since I don't feel it

[crystal umbra]

Oh shit forgot about the HHs

[dreamy pelican]

I upgraded my CPU from 5900x to 9800x3d CPU and my fps is running capped at 160fps, on my 5900x it was genuinely unplayable 30-50fps on ground zero

[onyx depot]

https://discord.com/channels/521608697764380694/659206823798374420

[hot sparrow]

1 sec lemme get on my pc

[dreamy pelican]

3d cache makes a big difference for tarkov

[onyx depot]

works on AMD cpu's?

[quartz thicket]

i wanna lurk this cause i got similar set up

[dreamy pelican]

If your amd CPU has a x3d in its name

[jaunty stream]

Only specific ones with x3D

[quartz thicket]

my beloved 5600x3d

[jaunty stream]

hence the name scheme x3D V-Cache

[late creek]

my beloved 7800x3d

[jaunty stream]

amd taking the cpu market by storm the last couple years

[quartz thicket]

intels been choking for a long time though

[jaunty stream]

Yep

14900k was solid, but my god was it a space heater and a power hungry chip

I think the 9850x3D is uhh bad taste from amd

[quartz thicket]

I haven't been keeping up since i bought my cpu tbh

[dreamy pelican]

This happened to me today actually when I had a stream open in the background, if you use nvidia super resolution for video could be the issue. I turned it off and was smooth again.

[jaunty stream]

Why nvidia SR?

[dreamy pelican]

I have a high resolution display and it just helps upscale lower quality videos

It's gpu heavy though

[jaunty stream]

I mean yeh I'd just run native

also depends what you are upscaling to

[dreamy pelican]

I'm running it on a 5k2k display so sometimes it's nice to just boost the quality with SR. Best to disable when gaming though 👌

[cursive sky]

Oh you rich rich huh

[jaunty stream]

5k2k?

[proven thistle]

is it me or have the goons been spawning with labs keycards lately?

[dreamy pelican]

It's basically a 4k ultrawide just pushes more pixels to maintain that ppi

[cursive sky]

God I love having to blast a scav in the face with 762 bp more than once due to hitreg

[tulip mesa]

man, cultist fights on Woods are insane.
Even though my friend and I were intently seeking them and searching the grass/woods where they spawn, I walked RIGHT into one, and then all hell broke loose.

Really awesome, tbh

[cursive sky]

Brother likes to play horror games I hear

You couldn't pay me to hunt for them on Woods

[jaunty stream]

Seems overkill

Or on the other end pointless

[mystic marsh]

Would you rather fight three tagillas or two killas

[jaunty stream]

2 Killa

[quartz thicket]

3 tagillas

Saxton Hale but its Tagilla

[thorn hedge]

i just want a sj9 -.- why cant labs provide ... just 1

[mystic marsh]

Labs hate you

[glacial osprey]

3 tagila and 2 killa

[mystic marsh]

Shut up bro

You'd rather fight cultists

[glacial osprey]

all of them

[glacial osprey]

#weapon-modding message
check my new build suggestion for gunsmith part 30
hk416 "stairs"

[thorn hedge]

if i want the longest ending - i need to hand over the armored case right ?

[mystic marsh]

Imma do that

[quartz thicket]

longest?

[thorn hedge]

idk - the one that u get the city background with the sunlight

[terse fractal]

It only goes up to 25 though?

[stone goblet]

you can get that ending by giving or keeping the case

it doesnt matter

giving the case makes it so you can get to the ending faster since you dont have to unlock lightkeeper the normal way

[thorn hedge]

oh ok thanks , i just heard there is a posibility to "fail" at achieving an ending and im only doing one so i just wanna do it correct

[stone goblet]

there is a way of failing and getting put onto a different ending

[quartz thicket]

Give that case up and work to get it back is the best way

[stone goblet]

and thats via BTR

[vocal holly]

Finished BTR tasks last night. I'm now on track for the Savior ending

[thorn hedge]

oh - i have failed one quest from btr- the one where i am supposed to mark a btr (think its the second quest he gives)

[vocal holly]

That's fine

[quartz thicket]

the wheels you mean? lol

[thorn hedge]

yes xD

[stone goblet]

its the final task that you cant fail

[vocal holly]

The BTR line is considered 'failed' if you side with Skier, not the BTR Driver

[quartz thicket]

yeah you're way off for now

[thorn hedge]

ok ok - i want the survivor ending cause im only going for 1 ending

[vocal holly]

Make sure you complete every single story chapter then as well

[stone goblet]

savior not survivor

[thorn hedge]

yes i will - im atm doing assesment part 3 so i can go to lightkeeper

[quartz thicket]

hit the button first, hit the button first

[vocal holly]

Survivor is an ending, but it dooms Tarkov

Savior saves everyone

[thorn hedge]

oh - sorry ! thanks!

[thorn hedge]

does that mean i save glucose and permasan aswell?

[vocal holly]

Implied, yes

[thorn hedge]

damn ... idk about that

[vocal holly]

Not really sure how that works out in the lore given you do have to kill the bosses multiple times

Then again, I don't think the 'Side' tasks are 'lore' in a way

[tulip mesa]

Anyone here ever found the Rusted Bloody Key for 'The Door'? I mean semi-recently? I feel like it was meant for the Halloween thing but now it doesn't spawn?

[vocal holly]

The only time I've ever found that damn key was in the pockets of a scav I killed 20 minutes after I had already been to the key hooks and checked it within 30 seconds of spawning.

Like I genuinely spawned outside the mall, immediately bee lined it to the key hooks and the key wasn't there.

[quartz thicket]

scavs pick up the knossos key, i wouldn't be surprised if they picked that one up too

[tulip mesa]

I believe it, very strange. I feel like it just doesn't spawn on the pegboard, but extremely rare in scav pockets?

[quartz thicket]

It did get added to the loot pool in 1.0

[vocal holly]

Knossos key was always lootable by scavs

Rusted Bloody wasn't until 1.0. Now it is.

[hot sparrow]

yo guys what's the command for ping?

[mystic marsh]

What ping

Like latency?

[hot sparrow]

yea

[undone merlin]

What is the most efficient armored vest when it comes to slots, armor, weight, and the ability to use red rebel extracts?

[mystic marsh]

@glacial osprey which one were you using?

[undone merlin]

I was just curious. I usually just run a thor and put it in my backpack

[mystic marsh]

The one he uses

[mystic marsh]

Any armored rig can use red rebel extracts as long as your actual body armor slot is free

[thorn hedge]

ok
i need something new (weapon) show me any weapon any build and i will try it - i need to switch up my meta hunting 😂

[mystic marsh]

You can try my ugly M4 dmr

[glacial osprey]

6b45

new prapor armored rig

[mystic marsh]

@undone merlin use this one

It has neck protection and good slots

As well as can fit armor plates ofc

[mystic marsh]

Check #weapon-modding

[thorn hedge]

Great! thanks! will try it ! :D

[mystic marsh]

Use in semi auto with 20 round mags and good ammo

It actually works somehow. At least for pve

[jaunty stream]

6B45 Is a W Rig

[mystic marsh]

Neck protection is important

[jaunty stream]

Which CPC doesn't give

[mystic marsh]

Buckshot tends to go there

[jaunty stream]

Either Osprey Protection or 6B45

[late creek]

anyone got any good marksman rifle builds

[jaunty stream]

Osprey is defo heavier and gives alot more slots and offers all around protection, 6B45 is a smaller rig with less slots but lighter

Both class 3 soft + class 3 neck protection

[mystic marsh]

#weapon-modding check out mine, it's peak trust

[onyx depot]

it's very meowtiful

[mystic marsh]

Thanks homie you a real g

[thorn hedge]

How do you use the bipod? xD

[jaunty stream]

keybind

[mystic marsh]

Shift V to unfold, V to set it up

Be crouched over low cover or prone to deploy it

The bipod is actually very good, it makes recoil practically go away entirely

[thorn hedge]

i will try this on labs now thanks

[mystic marsh]

Bro's gonna die

[thorn hedge]

most likely

[jaunty stream]

Bipod on labs

[thorn hedge]

i asked for a sick build- this bro was the only one willing to share - so im using it

[jaunty stream]

Run the hole puncher

aka the Ash-12 with 12B

[mystic marsh]

This build is for open maps definitely not labs but I appreciate your enthusiasm o7 hope you find many ledx

[thorn hedge]

Yea - thats an option - but the weight is too much when bringing a 6sh118 4 partisan bags - 2 mvvp rigs an altyn and a osprey with lvl 6 plates xD

[thorn hedge]

all i need is 1 sj9 xD

[mystic marsh]

No sj9 for you.

Only ledx

[thorn hedge]

ah damn , i need a weapon that gives sj9 tho

[mystic marsh]

This weapon gives ledx

[jaunty stream]

Switch the back plate with a 3s15m

Running all that when you can run a takedown with 2 tritons

[thorn hedge]

#screenshots message i mean - it does look pretty nice

[jaunty stream]

Ain't nobody beating the killa drip

Killa at home type shieet

[thorn hedge]

i want to kill sthurman 100 times for his drip tbh

[jaunty stream]

Not a thing

[thorn hedge]

i know, but i want to do that instead of killa

[jaunty stream]

#screenshots

Killa at thome

[thorn hedge]

Brother - no flashlight on your build 😂

[mystic marsh]

Helmet light

[jaunty stream]

[jaunty stream]

Running Neosteel with mandible?

[mystic marsh]

Oh...

[mystic marsh]

You can add a flashlight

[thorn hedge]

yea - but i forgot

[mystic marsh]

I'll allow it.

[jaunty stream]

smh

Daym no one selling Ballistic Mandible on the flea

[thorn hedge]

This scope ... 😂 too much zoom

[mystic marsh]

It's a dmr 😭

Use the top scope idk (height over bore)

[thorn hedge]

i can see the enemies nose hair and count them man

[mystic marsh]

It's only 5x

And there's a top red dot

[jaunty stream]

😭

[mystic marsh]

5x minimum, 25x maximum iirc

[jaunty stream]

Never take suggestions ever again is what I'm hearing

[scarlet pier]

Gus had 400k rubles and Basmach had 390k... and Kaban did not have a PKP dammit

[mystic marsh]

It was a rofl build tbf

[jaunty stream]

Yeh but it's very unusable

Atleast make it useable

[thorn hedge]

hey - i just killed a pmc - it slaps ok

[jaunty stream]

[mystic marsh]

It's usable it has a red dot for close range

And it's a long range build anyway

[jaunty stream]

use a DMR at that point

[thorn hedge]

i like the build :D

it seems i have to go for labyrinth - but last time i tried i was clapped so hard

[jaunty stream]

Bolt action rifles being my 2nd most levelled skill at 16...

[wind minnow]

best place to find a lab card to finish tour?

[jaunty stream]

Buy them if you are high enough, Craft them if you have level 2 IC

[wind minnow]

barely hit lvl 10. just rest my account a day or two ago

[jaunty stream]

Bosses then

[wind minnow]

uyuck, but fair

[blazing breach]

do the scavs on labyrinth randomly respawn? or how do they work?

[onyx depot]

why is it that whenever you're posted up on the GPMG, nothing ever comes that way

[wind minnow]

cause youre poste up on it

[onyx depot]

yeah but... they're not supposed to know that

[bright sand]

AI knows everything

[onyx depot]

yeah.. i wish they didnt

sitting here at fortress and not 1 AI has come this way..

[glacial osprey]

i believe they may respawn on door opening at 10 min before the end of the raid (red timer)

[vernal spindle]

#screenshots message

Sturman stash

[blazing breach]

okay, is there any meta weapon to run in labyrinth? something you can buy at max traders? cuz you need to punch through level 6 armor

[glacial osprey]

everything with 50+ pen to drill through lv6 minotaur helmet and killa fs

[onyx depot]

not so much the gun. more the ammo

[glacial osprey]

alternatively leg meta rip ammo, like 45 acp vector

[blazing breach]

so it needs to be fir? or is there anything but rip ammo i could buy?

[glacial osprey]

you can craft good ammo (m80a1, 762 bp) but buying... i do not remember, do not think so

[blazing breach]

alright, thanks

[bright sand]

ammo cannot be bought off flea now

[blazing breach]

i cant buy rip from traders?

[bright sand]

traders yes. if it's available

[jovial cobalt]

gotta do quests to unlock it

atleast for .45 acp rip

[jaunty stream]

M80A1 or M80 is solid for Laby

Run a MDR with the 25 rounders

Full of M80A1 just blitz

[vernal spindle]

Ash 12 for everything instead yummy

[hazy gorge]

Ash 12 so fun on arena

2 tap MF

[swift locust]

Waves spawn every 10m or so. Hyperrat did a tiny bit of research on it

[mystic marsh]

Best gun in the game is M4A1

[onyx depot]

that NL is pretty damn good too

[rare field]

[mystic marsh]

No

M4A1

[rare field]

No
MCX

[onyx depot]

No, the Mjolnir, it's superior firepower is above all

[mystic marsh]

This is... Acceptable

[rare field]

[mystic marsh]

MJOLNIR too cumbersome

[hazy gorge]

Ak50

[onyx depot]

MP-18

[jaunty stream]

Yeh no that .338 launcher is just mid

[mystic marsh]

Best gun is clearly the blicky

[jaunty stream]

NL because of the scope zoom not having that weird movement thing

10/10 would recommend

[hazy gorge]

Just saw a pmc flying in my pvp lobby

Hm well that's not gonna end well

[onyx depot]

1.0 ready

[mystic marsh]

Уээээээ

SBEU mosquito

[hazy gorge]

Its over

[crystal umbra]

man, goons acting lil weird for anyone else?

I was just on Lighthouse minding my own business on the main road when I suddenly started getting sniped from the blue chalet direction on the right. I run to the coast, hide, fix my blacked out and limbs and then knight comes running in. I kill him and expect Big Pipe as well, but he's like nowhere. And Birdeye stops shooting as well

[hazy gorge]

If he doesnt see me he cant kill me tho

[crystal umbra]

werent they suppose to mega bum rush me

after knight dies, that is

[onyx depot]

Escape from Hogwarts

[mystic marsh]

What if they died

[hazy gorge]

Escape from cheaters

And cats

[crystal umbra]

Birdeye just gets a heart attack after witness his best friend die?

[mystic marsh]

Well I mean sanitar can instadie to obdolbos

[crystal umbra]

tbh this is not the first time where I kill one or two goons and the other just dissapear

maybe their ai pathing broke and they went stuck behind a rock on the chalet mountains or something

as they were trying to get to me

[mystic marsh]

The gooners: knee, small pipe and fisheye

[crystal umbra]

gonna use that from now on, great names

[mystic marsh]

Thanks bro

[crystal umbra]

also knight was tryna shoot me with a spear with no scope or backup sights whatsoever lmao

just noticed that after I took it off him, tf was bro tryna hit with that

[swift locust]

The what

[jaunty stream]

When you switch zooms with scopes, the scope jitters or wobbles when you switch, It doesn't do it on the NL

Like the little animation

[swift locust]

Ah that ye it's some guns that do it

Use the variable zoom instead to bypass it

[random socket]

Hey. Need to hunt the goons, should i reliably use the goon trackers? Or should i got wherever and hope they spanw? (im thinking customs). And does time of day influence the spawn % ?

[crystal umbra]

I just ran into them on Lighthouse as of 10 mins ago

[jaunty stream]

Yeh but the NL doesn't do the animation if the click zoom or slow zoom, Unlike 95% of the other guns do the animation

[crystal umbra]

could try your luck there, blue chalet

[random socket]

I see. I have been spamming raids now and they are nowhere to be seen 🙁

Ill go back to lighthouse

[crystal umbra]

thats how it always is. When you need them, they are just gone everywhere. when you dont need them, they are ambushing your ass at the most inconvenient moment

good luck

[random socket]

100%

[swift locust]

I meant if you hold alt and use your scroll wheel, no animation plays for that

[jaunty stream]

Yeh I know that's a thing

But the NL Doesn't do the animation so if you need to insta max zoom it's instant, Not got that weird animation

[hazy gorge]

NL? shame i use the 1911

[rose gazelle]

yo does anybody know why my task item just disappeared from my stash? I put the phone for "Ambulances Again" into the task items in stash area instead of on my character 2 days ago, it's gone now. I haven't even died in a raid for 2 days so I'm not sure what happened!

[obsidian pine]

any one want to help a brother beat this game

[rose gazelle]

the sherpa hub is great for that kinda stuff if you want someone to help you out

[obsidian pine]

im at the end myself

[rose gazelle]

ohhh

[obsidian pine]

yeah the ending is rough

[narrow canyon]

anyone know the best way to find a shroud mask its the kast item i need

[restive wedge]

gun crates and wooden green ones and big ones or gym bags or see if there a craft for it in the hide with the cultis stuff

[jaunty stream]

It's a streamer item so no

[jaunty stream]

RNG

[narrow canyon]

ive been looking for 2 weeks smh

[restive wedge]

well its a clothing items so it might spawn in any thing really

hell go on a factory and got kill a bunch of pmc's and they might be waering it

[jaunty stream]

No to the cultist craft

[narrow canyon]

whats the cultist craft?

[jaunty stream]

There isn't one

[narrow canyon]

thanks

[restive wedge]

all i know its i got one from a crate and gym bag

just gotta serch alot of box's

[narrow canyon]

like a technical crate?

[bright sand]

duffle bags are probably your best friends

[jaunty stream]

I've found alot of masks on just dead bodies around places

[restive wedge]

no that would give you bolts and stuff like that

[narrow canyon]

ive found 2 of every item before this shroud mask

[jaunty stream]

Like on GZ, Streets dead body by finance, Factory 3rd floor, Tank or bunker flare

[restive wedge]

go on ground zero and check all the ddead body and suit case's

it can spawn anywhere bro just not in tool box's or med creats or the big brown crates

[narrow canyon]

ive worked through half the main story just killin scavs looking for it lmao

[restive wedge]

well stop doing story stuff and farm

[narrow canyon]

dawg i had to do story to stop going mentally insane just spawning factory to kill scavs

[restive wedge]

att see that it right there go do other maps like shoreline or interchange hell i bet you would find it really fast on reaseve

[narrow canyon]

just been grinding lightkeeper tasks between time gates

[restive wedge]

no wonder lol that quest line is annnoying

[narrow canyon]

i just want kappa lmao

[restive wedge]

gotta farm

[vale atlas]

I keep telling myself i dont want it because you have to do arena

But i know i'm going to end up suffering through arena for a weekend at some point

[restive wedge]

iv never played arena XD

[onyx depot]

me too, i dont plan on it either

[vale atlas]

Same, but you need to do a couple of quests there to be able to get the things lol

I cant wait to go sweat my ass off so i can continue playing PvE casually

[onyx depot]

i will not subject myself to that, dont care what the reward is.. quite happy playing PVE the way it is.. Even if BSG want to force us to play a game mode we dont want to after paying them for the game

[vale atlas]

I also keep telling myself i wont do it

I even rage uninstalled arena on principle without ever pressing play

But i know i'm going to want the things, i will crack

i know it

[onyx depot]

there isnt that much from Ref anyway

[vale atlas]

Yeah its just a luck thing

the wins in a row etc, results vary depending on your randoms or stack

I know i'm not gonna be good enough to carry lol

[onyx depot]

there's a reason i want to play pvE, not pvP

[vale atlas]

Big same

But shiny things, i am weak

[onyx depot]

lol

[blazing breach]

are people actually buying the neosteel mandible for 8 mil?

[vale atlas]

You seen the price of some of the other masks on flea?

[jaunty stream]

Yeh

I just did

[lavish grotto]

clothing is nice but prices are still too high for anything to be worth

[onyx depot]

its on the flea?

[jaunty stream]

Yeh, insanely rare tho

[onyx depot]

i have one.. wanna buy it?

[jaunty stream]

I already have 1

I can also buy them of Ref for 10gp

Mandible covers Throat

but leaves eyes open, Unlike Altyn that coves eyes but leaves throat open

[blazing breach]

they spawn on labyrinth scavs

[lavish socket]

fug, i got some quests in lighthouse.... thankfully its the early quests

[proud obsidian]

yes

[lavish socket]

I'm almost lvl 30, i can almost finally play tehg ameeee

[late creek]

will using a transit count quests as complete if i have to "survive and extract"

[brisk stag]

How far from the gas tanks do I need to stand to damage my Zabarlo and not kill myself?

[cursive sky]

Please Daddy Nikita, can you please make cultists spawn in my next raid, I'm so tired of night raids

[swift locust]

Only when you actually extract you will get progress towards that

[late creek]

Okay thanks

[swift locust]

Same with transit bug, you don't get credit towards survive and extract

[jaunty stream]

Like a solid 4 meters or something

[late creek]

I was about to do transit to customs from reserve after doing some quests there

[jaunty stream]

You will need to do it two raids

[late creek]

Ok

[lavish grotto]

yes

they fixed a while ago

[late creek]

look at screenshots thats the kit im using for transit

[lavish grotto]

unless its broken in the past week

[lavish grotto]

how long are you planing on transiting

6.8 is rare to find in raid

[late creek]

from reserve to customs

i have 500 rounds

[lavish grotto]

oh nvm you should be fine then

[late creek]

Yea i find alot in red room

labs is great for nato ammo

[lavish grotto]

streets is better i found

[late creek]

i can never find any on streets ngl

[lavish grotto]

you hitting the right keys?

[late creek]

where would i find it

probably not

[lavish grotto]

hyper rat made a vid about it

cargo mesh, terragroup amoury key, mvd and con security room are the ones you wanna hit

get 200-400 rounds of best ammo per raid

[late creek]

alr

[proud obsidian]

sucks you cant use comtacs with neo steel mandible

[lavish grotto]

mostly nato

if only there was a good 54r dmr

[late creek]

concordia security?

[lavish grotto]

thats really good not the best,

TerraGroup security armory

[late creek]

okay

[proud obsidian]

i got 3 packs of slap ammo all from mvd room

[lavish grotto]

mvd and cargo mesh are also really good but be careful as the bosses can spawn there

[lavish grotto]

i got a bunch of 338 ap

still got to grind for the sako

[flat shore]

Uhhm... Shouldnt the Rusted bloody key spawn inside the mall on Streets (at least once in 15 raids?)

[lavish grotto]

its super rare now

seen it once in 100ish raids

[proud obsidian]

i got like 3 bittys and 2 marked keys in one opening last time i opened bloody

[lavish grotto]

last time i hit it the best key i got was emercon medical

[flat shore]

Okay, so just keep spamming raids XD

[proud obsidian]

[lavish grotto]

dw i also got 2 police cabin keys

[proud obsidian]

anyone have bastion plate?

[late creek]

this ram barter for t5 light plates is really nice

[lavish grotto]

i have 2-3

[lavish grotto]

i just do the plate dupe craft

i have 70 of them

[thorn hedge]

Hello, if rngesus is here - can you please give me sj9 in my next labs raid ? i dont care about any other loot, thank you

[swift locust]

Pretty low sample size compared to it's drop rate, keep going marine

[terse fractal]

can cultists spawn without a Priest?

[swift locust]

Res unit ezpz

[brisk stag]

Good news: It'll spawn
Bad news: A bot will vaccuum it out and fuck off into the void with it

[swift locust]

In pve?

[thorn hedge]

yea - i have already tried 20 times today

[swift locust]

You could check old black aswell if you really need it

[brisk stag]

I've seen a ton a posts of the AI looting keycard rooms without entering them

[swift locust]

Not worth the use per se but might drop

[thorn hedge]

10m for the keycard tho

[vapid leaf]

labrys notes are such a pain to find... not a single one spawned for me yet. ever-

[flat shore]

Yeah, I was just surprised, since I remembered it being around 20-30 % before 1.0

[thorn hedge]

im considering using a few marked room key usages to find a black key card

[cursive sky]

THANK YOU CULTIST CIRCLE

Loot Lord plushie, kappa here I come

[proud obsidian]

how many labrys have u done now?

[vapid leaf]

lost track. about 15-20

found one in scav case, one on SoC and one on Killa. never as a loot spawn

[proud obsidian]

#screenshots message

[vapid leaf]

cool

[proud obsidian]

sig spear with bmd muzzle is soo goated

[lavish socket]

Morning lads, how are the raids today

[cursive sky]

Raw

[lavish socket]

that good or bad lol

[thorn hedge]

unpopular opinion > increase the outfit/weapon preset for ai pmc and not have the same all the time

[brisk stag]

And give them mid-tier ammo

[cursive sky]

They have good ammo sometimes

[thorn hedge]

with a higher chance of high tier ammo these pmc always have a mpx , mp5 a g36 , m4, svds or a m4

[cursive sky]

I loot 762 bp quite frequently from AI pmcs

[brisk stag]

I only ever find PS or FMJ on them. Never once seen PP or BP

[thorn hedge]

Either you have higher luck than me - or your definition of "quite frequently" is pretty different than mine

Even reshala spawns with fmj 😂

[subtle bison]

it’s around 20% of the time

for me at least

sometimes they have a 75 rounder full of it too

[cursive sky]

Just killed reshala, 3 mags of 56A1

Not that I pick it up but it's not FMJ at least xd

[subtle bison]

if you can buy keys you should get terragroup armoury key for ammo

[late creek]

how

[subtle bison]

good ammo boxes only downside is that it’s on streets

[lavish grotto]

Lavatory 3 theres a craft to turn 1 gac plate, 2 amrid, 2 ripstops into a rig with2 gac plates in it

[swift locust]

I'm pretty sure it scales

Either with what you bring in or levels

[orchid crest]

I second this id love more diverse gear

[slate vector]

Is there a point where you guys stop doing cultist circles?

I keep geting gls and random shit that is not useful at all

[cursive sky]

I'm a degenerate gambler so no

[spiral pecan]

I always put in 2 pipe GRIP** wrenches and 3 diarys

Sometimes its good sometimes its not, does not matter because money is infinite in pve

[cursive sky]

Most of the time it's shit

But once in a while you hit the jackpot

[spiral pecan]

Correct

Gambling

[light patrol]

what am i supposed to do in the rest space? it gives me the option to load something and "play"

[spiral pecan]

From the targrad tales event which was a lil bit before 1.0, ignore it

[slate vector]

nothing

[light patrol]

roger. thnx

[slate vector]

It just increase the passive effects, like renegating health while not in a raid

[rare field]

You can still get the discs for it as daily quest reward

[spiral pecan]

Yeah but it like breaks ur game

The disc does not work properly anymore

They should reuse that shit tbh

[late creek]

nicee

i just did the transit extracted from customs

[rare field]

Nailhead figurine from scav case

[cursive sky]

[thorn hedge]

[lethal garnet]

😭

[cursive sky]

Think I woke my family up with my laughter

[cosmic patrol]

@spiral pecan hello sir

[proud obsidian]

was it a moonshine buy?

[manic lance]

i find goons 7 times last night and i cant find them at all today

[sage narwhal]

does the car on woods just not spawn anymore lol I have done 7 raids so far and it hasnt spawned once XD

[orchid crest]

Me absolutely wiping the goons but forgetting to get killa so I didn’t have stray dogs quest 😞

I’ll never see them again now

[orchid crest]

It does it just hates you

Damn killed one scav on accident as a scav, my rep went from 7.0 to 5.96 with just one kill???

[spiral pecan]

hello kylo renolk

whats up

[peak edge]

where should i look for the military SG radios ?

[velvet coral]

reserve

[gray wigeon]

its coded tha way, if you are above 6 you lose all the rep above it in a single mistake
you could be 12 rep and after killing that 1 scav you go to that 5.96

[thorn hedge]

RB-PKPTS door

[elfin sapphire]

anywhere else?

[thorn hedge]

Labyrinth

[elfin sapphire]

crazy

to noob for labyrinth

[willow tinsel]

Just go pkpts then

[thorn hedge]

The RB-PKPTS door is easy just run downstairs be careful for raiders - if theres no raiders then u good

i am a noob and i think it was easy

[elfin sapphire]

okey thanks

[spiral pecan]

this quest gives one if you just wanna go rush through btr real quick (you gotta do btr anyways for savior) https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Simple_Side_Job

[thorn hedge]

u gotta do all btr quests for savior?

[spiral pecan]

yes

[thorn hedge]

is it a long questline?

[willow tinsel]

Not really

[spiral pecan]

you can get it done pretty quick because theres no timegates

[willow tinsel]

Just need to infil and extract everytime u need a new quest

[thorn hedge]

thats easy - go to woods , kill sthurman for thhe hunter quest go to btr then extract

[willow tinsel]

Yea, I would just prefer a tab to accept his quests

[elfin sapphire]

i need the COFDM to unlock lightkepeer :) so i cant do the quest

[lavish socket]

WHAATTTT, first time EVER i've seen Partizan Head/eyes me before. I was doing lighthouse quests too

[thorn hedge]

did u get "the cleaner" quest yet? for the .300 blackout ap bullets? its a nice combo for the radios on reserve

[swift locust]

Reserve rb pkpts or something and you will get it

[thorn hedge]

almost lvl 43 on hideout management - only 8 lvls left xD

[orchid crest]

8 uses and I haven’t found a single one yet, I know it’s in there, I can smell it

[spiral pecan]

this dude is selling a stripped radian with 76 dura for 2 million roubles lmao

[willow tinsel]

12 uses left surely has 1

[crystal umbra]

Currently on Fence rep 4.07 and need 5 for a quest.

Any tips on speeding up gaining rep? Or should I basically just keep running Factory/Ground Zero as a scav ans hope to get some PMC kills every run

[orchid crest]

Codfm and gpu unit are my arch nemesis this time around

[orchid crest]

Don’t forget to use some car extracts as PMC, it gives great rep

[gray wigeon]

car extracts

[spiral pecan]

letting pmcs kill scavs and then killing them is pretty much the most viable method

[orchid crest]

The car on shoreline is always there I’m p sure you can farm that one

[hasty dagger]

If you didn´t extract with the car extracts, to them. They each give 0.25 per first exit, after that, it get lower and lower

[crystal umbra]

Oh yeah been using car extracts as much as possible as PMC. Doesnt the rep from them drop off eventually?

[crystal umbra]

Aye so I guess it does

[hasty dagger]

Yes, it will drop eventually to 0.1 from what I know, but I can be wrong

[mystic marsh]

GZ car always there for sure

Easy small map

[terse fractal]

only 20 minute sprint from one side to the other

[willow tinsel]

Until it gives u 0.01

[terse fractal]

to get 0.01 every time

[willow tinsel]

[terse fractal]

so you only need to repeat 600 times

[mystic marsh]

Why not GZ

[willow tinsel]

Only 600 times guys

[mystic marsh]

WHY NOT GZ

[hasty dagger]

Only ?! That feels like nothing

[torpid bluff]

What happened to dorms marked room? All I ever find is 2 pistols and a valuable anymore

[willow tinsel]

Just eat it up and go in 1 scav run for like 2 rep

[astral kindle]

Its been like that for few months now

[terse fractal]

yeah marked room keys are no longer worth their sell value

[hasty dagger]

314 is shit like 3 to 4 years already, what did you expect from that room, lol

[torpid bluff]

like a month ago it had high chance for a keycard, red rebels and containers

what a Joke D:

[hasty dagger]

Never seen it tbh, that room was good before 12.6 after that, it became shit

[spiral pecan]

even softcore marked rooms were ass

[hasty dagger]

12.6 was last patch, which weapons cases could spawn in that room btw

[spiral pecan]

price is always too insane to be worth

[hasty dagger]

Because you can cheese it plus it´s a quest room. That´s why

[main reef]

what do you guys bring as ur heals in ?

[hasty dagger]

But no reason to be that high, Streets marked keys are 8 to 9m per 1 use, which is totally absurd, lol

[willow tinsel]

If you opened marked rooms ( or actually loot anywhere ) on release you'd know the times we are in now is like Sahara desert searching for water

[hasty dagger]

Propital and Grizzly, and you are good to go

[spiral pecan]

i bring a calok and a grizzly

[hasty dagger]

Not my first rodeo on loot, lol

[spiral pecan]

and an xtg cuz i cultist hunt

[thorn token]

is the ak-50 fun at all to run? i just got it

[hasty dagger]

Sound okay, too expensive and heavy to use properly

[thorn token]

army bandage, calok, grizzly in the rig

[gray wigeon]

good ammo 120dmg 115 pen or something like that

[willow tinsel]

Just clarifying, release was stacked, marked rooms even more stacked than most wipes

[thorn token]

i get it's completely overkill for anything, i think it'd be funny to get some long shots on birdeye or shturman with it though

[hasty dagger]

If you think, that on release, those room were stacked, then you don´t know what you are talking about

They had loot, for sure. But holy, they are/were shit

[thorn token]

loot was stacked everywere on release

[hasty dagger]

And always have been since the PvE came out

[thorn token]

then very quickly nerfed

[hasty dagger]

Loot were nerfed realy hard, that´s 100% true

[spiral pecan]

.50 bmg is a pure meme round

m903 is too rare to be viable, 338 ap can still 1 tap shadow tagilla while being 5x more common with better platforms

[thorn token]

i've got M21 and M33

[willow tinsel]

Nah, I dont think you understand when I mean most wipes, either you never got lucky on release marked or never opened one

[spiral pecan]

338 is better in pretty much every way

[thorn token]

we're not talking about which is better here

[hasty dagger]

In first week, I found 3 314 keys, which I used all of them. But the loot wasn´t that special to talk about. I did find some black keycards.. but that was it realy.

[thorn token]

just about fun factor, i brought up using the ak-50 for fun

[hasty dagger]

If you wanna meme on scavs, go for it 😄

[gray wigeon]

roided mjolnir

[willow tinsel]

Thats unlucky then, my openings were crazy stacked

[hasty dagger]

RNG sucks for me, I guess

[frail shale]

??events

??event

[hasty dagger]

No event for ya, kek

[brisk stag]

How much ammo do y'all take into raids? I normally bring 3 spare mags and 2 ammo stacks.

[hasty dagger]

Depends if I am going for kill quests or just to map. I usually take 3 mags (depends on caliber, but usally 60 rounders) and 1 stack of ammo

[brisk stag]

Have you ever had trouble with the mags failing to feed, with regard to the low/medium/high chance?

[hasty dagger]

Never had problem with the mags, but with the gun itself, but that was because of durability or I just sprayed so much, my barrel was hot and it overheated which made my gun jam

[gray wigeon]

wow green card in pkpm

[distant obsidian]

2-3 spares and 2 stacks.

[gray wigeon]

one in a 1000

[distant obsidian]

depending on the gun and mag size it can be a little light. But I will play around knowing that

I do rock a 5-7 as a back up because its cool and I like seeing my holster filled

[gaunt rune]

guys I have just talked to lightkeeper and have the objective "get armored case from lk" "I'm free to take it whenever"... but no option to take the case?

[hasty dagger]

You have to have clear special slot for it

[distant obsidian]

ok this mk11 supp on the sr25 is actually dope as fuck

[gaunt rune]

thxx

[distant obsidian]

I missed this with the new parts added to the sr25

[spiral pecan]

LMAO I JUST ACTUALLY FUCKING DUNKED ON THE CULTIST PRIEST. JUMPED OVER HIS HEAD LOLLL

[spiral pecan]

too bad they're not worth jack fuckin shit

[distant obsidian]

wh yare people opening marked rooms still?

[spiral pecan]

gambling

[orchid crest]

im in the denial and greif stage alright

[hazy gorge]

did they change the sound of the spear?

or i just didnt use it for a long time

[distant obsidian]

its been like 2 months

[thorn token]

kappa items

cases

[distant obsidian]

like?

key and ammo cases are ok I suppose. Not worth though

[thorn token]

all the safe loot items can spawn there

[distant obsidian]

so hit safes

[hasty dagger]

Still not worth tbh

[thorn token]

it's like hitting an extra safe

with the chance of something better being there

[hasty dagger]

You find Ledx and BTC there, wow. You got 1,6m worth of the loot per key use which cost ya 2m+ 😄

[distant obsidian]

sell the key and buy the "better"

[thorn token]

i dont buy marked keys

[hasty dagger]

I always sell the marked keys, not worth keeping them

[thorn token]

i just use the ones i get

[distant obsidian]

when did I say buy marked keys

I said sell marked keys.

[thorn token]

or i could just use the key cause it's fun to see what i get

[distant obsidian]

sure, but its a waste overall

[thorn token]

it's pve

[distant obsidian]

hence why I asked

[thorn token]

i'm not hurting for loot

more fun to just hit marked room and see what I get

[distant obsidian]

ll you had to say was it was fun. Not try to actualyl defend it lol

[thorn token]

maybe i get something good, i got both the red rebels i need for prapors task out of RB-BK

[distant obsidian]

using marked keys is stupid. But if your doing it for the gamba then its fine of course

[brisk stag]

Well F. Dropped Reshala and 3 guards, last one caught me by surprise with a grenade

[thorn token]

to say there's nothing ever good in them is wrong though, there's still a good possibility in some of them to have good shit

reserve marked keys have been decent still overall

[hasty dagger]

They usually do that, lol

Silent grenades under your legs

[brisk stag]

If I'd known I dropped Reshala I'd have been more aggresive and would've probably wiped them all. Oh well

[thorn token]

guards are scarier than reshala

[hasty dagger]

His guards are more dangerous then himself tbh

[brisk stag]

Yeah but I needed them to shoot my Zabralo to hell for Sew It Good, so either way it'd have been a win for me

[hasty dagger]

Do it with the orange canister on labs

Or even at Fortress on Customs

[brisk stag]

That's where I was fighting them

[hasty dagger]

Those canisters can damage your Zabralo quite good

[hasty dagger]

Next time with the Zabralo, shot those canisters and you are good to go. Just take out plates (not worth the damage)

[thorn token]

or lfg someone with a blicky

[brisk stag]

That was the goal, but Reshala's guard had other ideas

[hasty dagger]

Too much time wasted on it, 5 to 6 canister and you are good to go, lol

[brisk stag]

Good thing is I have a backup armor.

[hasty dagger]

Then go for the canisters ! Good luck to ya

[brisk stag]

Knowing my luck, the Goons are gonna be there next

[thorn token]

what would be the best spot to snipe pmcs reliably in pve? currently using sniper rock on lighthouse. finishing up punisher part 6 with the svd

[thorn token]

there's some canisters at dorms too

[hasty dagger]

Feel ya

[brisk stag]

Ground Zero up in the machine gun nest

[crystal umbra]

Any of you guys run a decent long range 9x39 setup?

I am trying to do the Mechanic quest of killing 30 PMCs over 100m with a 9x39 gun but all the VAL and VSS guns are so dogshit to use and innacurate as hell, no matter what I try to to with them

[thorn token]

heh

[hasty dagger]

Not worth the effort for the gun, which after 2 raids, you can sell because the durability on it would be 80..

[thorn token]

i hate how badly they put the vss and val into the dirt

[hasty dagger]

And decent long range setup, LOL 😄 Just slap vudu or razor on it and boom, you have a setup

[crystal umbra]

yeah that's pretty much what I been doing, but the accuracy on these guns are just depleting my will to live

like at first I thought why is my brand new VSS so innacurate. Then I looked at the stats and it's like... 3.34 MOA

thinking of trying the VAL and Mod 4 next but not expecting much tbh

[hasty dagger]

"DMR" btw

[thorn token]

mod 4 may be your best bet

[crystal umbra]

IKR??!

[thorn token]

idk though

[crystal umbra]

DMR my ass

[hasty dagger]

DMR this nuts

[simple briar]

Is it normal when Glukhar spawns on Dome?

[thorn token]

yea he can spawn up there now

[distant obsidian]

yes

[jaunty stream]

Depends on what gun

[simple briar]

Well almost shat my pants

thank god for paracord and rr

[prime trellis]

i like to run aroundn with 100+ rounds in mags plus a stack or 2 of ammo depending on gun

icecream mags if 545 and at least 4-5 of them

[brisk stag]

Never too late

[prime trellis]

he can also spawn at the building next to the co-op

it was fun learningn that the hard way

easy to kill though because of dome gl

[vestal onyx]

has anyone gotten all endings yet?

[hasty dagger]

1 guy is there, I am doing my 3rd now, need to wait 48 hours for it

[vestal onyx]

who is it that unlocked all of them?

[brisk stag]

Nikita

[hasty dagger]

Don´t know the name, he was in #screenshots posting them couple days ago, I even commented on it

[distant obsidian]

after this long? Of course

pvp peeps I imagine

[hasty dagger]

[thorn token]

quite possibly the greatest advice i've ever received

[distant obsidian]

people still paying 350k for teps. LOL

wild

[proud obsidian]

how much fps yall getting on skreets?

[thorn token]

already gotten 8 of the pmcs i needed in one gz raid

[hasty dagger]

60ish

[distant obsidian]

80-120 depending

[proud obsidian]

whats in yr machine?

[distant obsidian]

can drop of course

[proud obsidian]

pc build?

[hasty dagger]

7800X3D, 4070 super and 32Gb ram, should run fine, I guess not, lol

[distant obsidian]

9800x3d, 32gddr5 and a 5080

[proud obsidian]

what res are u on?

[hasty dagger]

I am 1440p

[brisk stag]

I thought your name was Skye?

[hasty dagger]

I will smack ya

[distant obsidian]

1440p

anyone use the neosteel and mandible build?

[proud obsidian]

lod quality at lowest is best for skreets

[hasty dagger]

Neosteel mandible is stupidly expensive.. and getting ref 4 is a nightmare to do for those 2

[distant obsidian]

I have ref. I built it and I dont get it.

[spiral pecan]

me

its not that good but i just like how it looks

[distant obsidian]

you give up good hearing and no protection for eyes for class 3 jas and neck?

ah ok

Yeah I can see people liking the look. I just dont see it better then ulach+_deathshadow with comntac 6s.

[spiral pecan]

if the mandible was more common it'd probably be okay

[distant obsidian]

I got ref 4 so 10gp is nothing

[hasty dagger]

I use new earbuds on everything and I am good, lol

[distant obsidian]

So I built one and its not for me

[hasty dagger]

I rather use them then those comntac 6 tbh

[spiral pecan]

you can get it off ref, off labry scavs or get it off killa which is like borderline impossible

[distant obsidian]

contac 6s are jsut better at everything over the pro

pro has very little ambient reduction so you hear all kinds of nonsense.

[hasty dagger]

For me, they feel much better. But that´s just me, I guess

I used to run comntac 6s, they were great

[distant obsidian]

trying to find a new head set up to change it up but everything else people uses seems bad. Statistically

[crystal umbra]

ok so the issue with 9x39 weapon is not the accuracy as I thought at first. It does at least somewhat hit where I aim it past 100m. The biggest problem that all the bullets take like 3 business days before they actually travel to the target, which means if you whiff your first shot, the AI already scrambles away and you can't immediately readjust like with other calibers

[distant obsidian]

like ulach, deathshadow and comtac 6s just.... is great

[crystal umbra]

I get that it's subsonic ammo and all, but it's still awful af

[proud obsidian]

i use it for the aura

[distant obsidian]

aura is fine

[hasty dagger]

I use Exfil with death shadow and build in comntacs 6s, or pro, That´s good combo for me

Exfil feels tactical, that´s my to go

[distant obsidian]

I used to use exfils because its the most drippy helmet for sure. But I swappeed over to an arena ulack for ear protection

[spiral pecan]

7 million roubles for a neosteel mandible off the flea rn holy shit

[proud obsidian]

my fav setup is bastion helmet with plate & death shadow mask with comtac 6s

[distant obsidian]

ulach weith ear protection and NVVG mount? W

[distant obsidian]

yeah, 10gp is def better lol

[hasty dagger]

Ohh, that´s a goat of helmet

[distant obsidian]

it really is. Hence why I cant find any other set up I like lol

[spiral pecan]

i like how it looks but i dont wanna burn the durability

so stupidly rare

[hasty dagger]

You realy can´t go wrong with the Ulach tbh

[distant obsidian]

same thing with my gen4 assault. Hard to use anything else...

[proud obsidian]

why keep it in the stash tho

[distant obsidian]

ulach is just sooooo good

[spiral pecan]

you got a point

[hasty dagger]

I was fond of Gen4 mobility kit, but now I am more fond of plate carries then armor itself

[spiral pecan]

might just run a low durability one just for the looks cuz why not

[proud obsidian]

i lost one bastion plate when i was stuck at a transit loading screen

[distant obsidian]

I like having some arm protection for scavs. Its why I use it over the 6b

[spiral pecan]

ouchhh

[distant obsidian]

thor is to bulky looking. Assault is just perfect

[spiral pecan]

thor ic+LCBR goons edition is peak drip wym

[distant obsidian]

naw

[hasty dagger]

Before plates came to the game, assault was the worst armor type tbh 😄 You had arm armor, but that shit burned you durability on armor so much, it wasn´t a fun

[distant obsidian]

fatty running around.

gen4 assault and mk3

I am looking forward to getting that gen4 armored rig coming. But no neck protection on it is sus

#screenshots It just works

[spiral pecan]

dont think that has side plates

[wary parrot]

looking forward to find the First Spear Siege-R Optimized M.A.S.S. Plate Carrier (BD)

[distant obsidian]

it probably will, but we will see

[spiral pecan]

people complain about no neck proc but i havent been neck tapped in ages

[distant obsidian]

yeah your not getting that

[spiral pecan]

i dont know how you intend on getting that unless you have a cheater in ur dms lmao

[wary parrot]

I saw some guy that claimed he bought them on fence, sussy af

[distant obsidian]

anytime I take a lot of chest damage quickjly I check my neck dura. It has blocked a decent amount of shots for me. But yeah, I am finding it not required anymore

[spiral pecan]

does he have a picture with a build number

[hasty dagger]

Before you could go to the Terminal, some players had BD spawn on the map

[distant obsidian]

no they didnt

that was all faked

[hasty dagger]

Or they got them from the scav caes, I guess ? xd

[wary parrot]

dunno, wasnt a friend

[marble dome]

Ai pmc shooting trough walls in streets and threw a grenade trough the wall too. Wtf

[spiral pecan]

the build number was accurate so

[distant obsidian]

its possible scav case, but again no one posted real proof. All assumptions are cheated in

[spiral pecan]

couldve just been a quickly fixed mistake

[astral kindle]

It can also be faked quite easily

[bronze saddle]

oh god dammit... i gotta go back to Woods YET AGAIN...

[distant obsidian]

very easily lol

[spiral pecan]

then what proof do you want

[hasty dagger]

#screenshots message my drip

[distant obsidian]

a video

[hasty dagger]

Also got local host bug, LOL

[distant obsidian]

screen shots are just not reliable

[bronze saddle]

like yeah i clapped 8 homies in Emercom FINALLY, but here i am back to Woods... says here i gotta clap 15 homies without any armor or helmet..... i dont mind that i gotta go skinny deeping (fight em practically naked) with these homies, but why Woods? gimme Customs or ffff ANY map

[hasty dagger]

Well, the only video for BD gear is from Tigs, but that´s just a backpack I guess

[proud obsidian]

can bullets bounce off condor glasses?

[hasty dagger]

Yes

[wary parrot]

hollow points yea

[wary parrot]

I believe I haven't seen that backpack outside terminal at all

[distant obsidian]

that bag was brought in by his teammate and it did not have the FIR status

so he had it from a scav case or cheated in.

[wary parrot]

sussy bag

[spiral pecan]

god

we need BD gear on traders

we have gpnvg-18s i dont see why we can't have pvs-31s too

[wary parrot]

would be cool to have an event related to BD outside terminal

maybe Icebreaker stuff?

[spiral pecan]

i doubt thats gonna happen because they would be insanely farmable and also people would lose their SHIT over it
