[tough pawn]

killa is my enemy whilst doing database two

[wintry cobalt]

I'm going crazy where is this fucking smoke mask

[swift path]

and that tells youve played this game for too long

wasnt even mad about dying

[young frost]

did he at least give u some good pillow talk before sending u to the long sleep ?

[stone harbor]

yes he is in there, there is also a 100% spawn Intel in his place too if you dont know yet

[wintry cobalt]

Is it confirmed 100%?

[tough pawn]

i was cosplaying the cultist priest with a supressed pp-9 and a cultist knife, nothing to be mad abt lol

[wintry cobalt]

Cause sometimes I've gone intel-less there

[stone harbor]

I ran like 30 times now, all 30 times we got it. If you cant find it in the usual box, check the other boxes, I had at least 10 runs that we didnt find that intel in the usual box, so we had to kill Tagilla and go search all the places, turns out it is in his gaming seat/other yellow boxes, in the cart, etc.

[tough pawn]

the couch also has a keycard spawn

[stone harbor]

I always told my friends the intel is random, like 75%, but I always yoinked it first

[wintry cobalt]

I check all the boxes and sometimes I don't get it

[cursive sky]

Think Tarkov Arena broke me, actually starting to like it a bit

[wintry cobalt]

However the spawn rate is ridiculously high

[stone harbor]

I got Violet couple times as well yep

[tough pawn]

might be time to play something else if you genuinely enjoy tarkov arena

[stone harbor]

boxes, chairs, crates, carts, wooden boxes, in the trash on the floor's corners

[cursive sky]

Poe1 league this Friday, fortunate timing

[wintry cobalt]

I'm not too fussed about missing loot I've got more than enough money

Other than a smoke mask!!!!!

I CAN'T FUCKING FIND ONE

[tough pawn]

i just put intels in my scav case, i didn't go find 6 fucking skull rings for nothing

[stone harbor]

as my group's pathfinder, money is never an issue for me hahaha

[cursive sky]

2x pipe grip wrench 3x diary, thank me later

[stone harbor]

I just sold 2 of it lmao

to Therapist

[wintry cobalt]

Well I need it fir anyways

But I've been hunting rogues, killing hundreds of scavs

I was also missing a glorious e but I found that one

[tough pawn]

willingly going to lighthouse is brave

[wintry cobalt]

Yeah ik

[orchid raptor]

bad gateway but my internet is fine 👀

not good...

[timid tendon]

our squad was also kicked out

[wintry cobalt]

I love when I kill all the rogues (the three that spawn) and no smoke mask

[bright sand]

you got that error too?

[tough pawn]

how can i get a lot of m993 for terminal?

[cursive sky]

Why is it brave

[wintry cobalt]

Labs

[tough pawn]

lighthouse is just such a shit map, there's not much to do other than the 13 billion side tasks, that require you to go BACK AND FORTH to the same place for FOUR TIMES, just to do it all over again on shoreline

[cursive sky]

Question remains, what makes that brave. Sure it's tedious, but it's an ez map to navigate unless you're a BEAR and venture close to the water treatment plant

[wintry cobalt]

I love that whenever I need to go to LK, i spawn above wtp, every time I want to farm the rogues i spawn southern road

[cursive sky]

fr

[tough pawn]

i have a resentment towards lighthouse because of the one time i walked into a landmine and then followed my exact steps backwards and walked into another landmine

[cursive sky]

[wintry cobalt]

I hate lighthouse because the rogues don't have smoke masks

I am aware they do sometimes have it but so far none

[tough pawn]

the loot on lighthouse is okay but its not worth losing my sanity over

[cursive sky]

I used to snipe up on the rocks when I was a sweat in PVP many moons ago, until one wipe where they added claymores there, took the light out of my eyes real quick

[tough pawn]

the fact that you think the developers want people to have fun playing this game is funny

[wintry cobalt]

Also anybody else just been tanking the MG with their t6 plates

I feel like something there is bugged

[tough pawn]

a ton of things broke after the duckov update so i wouldn't be surprised

[wintry cobalt]

Well this has been going on for a while

Like on reserve for example whenever the scavs get on the mg above the helicopter and hit me smack bang in the middle of my chest my plates tank at least one round if not more

[tough pawn]

scavs on mg's are my mortal enemy, i've died to mounted weaponry in this game more times than i can count

[wintry cobalt]

I've died like once or twice because idk why my plates are stopping the MGs

Even the rogues

Like I'm peeking and I get hit and I'm just fine?

My plate is like 40/50 or something as well

I'd say it's probably having reduced pen from going through a surface but even when I'm not in cover for the mg on reserve it doesn't pen

I'm boutta finish escort and I'm on 45 strength so by the time I'm done and I get the levels I'll be elite

Then we can finally start levelling endurance!

[cursive sky]

If you're a loot goblin then endurance levelling will still be shit

[wintry cobalt]

I've given up on loot atp

[cursive sky]

I've had elite strength for like 1½ months now and only gained 14 endurance levels and that's with playing Tarkov Arena lately as well 😂

[wintry cobalt]

Unless it's super valuables

I'm level 45 str and like 18 endurance

It will take a while regardless

[cursive sky]

Arena levels it nicely while playing Checkpoint

[quartz thicket]

#screenshots message
Woops, killed the guys trying to extract me lmao

[wintry cobalt]

Happens

I really can't be bothered to go hunt pmcs for story quest since my hbs don't feel like Tarkov rn

[little willow]

for industrial spawns whats better to scav, interchange reserve or lighthouse?

[mossy blade]

interchange

[little willow]

oli?

[mossy blade]

oli and idea i think

but oli is 100% yes

[smoky scaffold]

wiped sanitars guards and went to push him and realized i wasn’t made for this

i’m gonna get him next time tho

[gentle egret]

If i reset my profile can i reuse the codes?

[orchid raptor]

no

[gentle egret]

damn

[dusky arch]

What are the spawn rates for the goons on local servers? Do they spawn on the same maps as they do on online? Like if they are on customs on online are they also on customs local or could they be on shoreline/woods or lighthouse?

[cosmic patrol]

No. Local and servers have no difference in the spawn chance. They do rotate on terms of PvE as a whole, not on terms of PvE / local

[glacial osprey]

103.6% on local

98.23% on bsg

spongebobviously they are the same

[dusky arch]

so they spawn 100% of the time? i just go to the map the goon tracker says they are on online?

[cosmic patrol]

No.

They do not spawn 100% of the time.

As every other boss, they have a SET SPAWN CHANCE.

[glacial osprey]

more. they have a 3.6% to spawn twice...

[dusky arch]

erm... is that possible? lol

[glacial osprey]

no

im kidding

[dusky arch]

i mean if they have 103% chance they are bound to spawn right?

[cosmic patrol]

BITCH WHAT

[glacial osprey]

😄

[cosmic patrol]

They arent even 103%??????

What fucking spasm is this? what did u start @glacial osprey

[glacial osprey]

103,6*

[dusky arch]

no shit xD however i experienced killing the same scav twice in a raid so i guess it wouldn be the weirdest thing

im confused yall

[glacial osprey]

local and bsg are same. around 30-40% to spawn for goons

[cosmic patrol]

Bro. Ill say it simple. Goon spawn is determined by percentage as well as rotating map. If they are on Customs ROTATION WISE. you still have to take into account their spawn chance on customs which is 30%nn

[dusky arch]

ah okay

[cosmic patrol]

If they have ROTATED to LIGHTHOUSE their spawn chance is 30%>

If they have rotated to SHORELINE their spawn chance is YOU GUESSED IT! 30N*%

[glacial osprey]

from now on ill say they spawn with a 103,6% chance (3.6% to spawn twice in the same raid)

[cosmic patrol]

I mean, I cant blame you. People seem to not be able to gugul

[glacial osprey]

((source info was pulled out of my back orifice))

[orchid raptor]

what's the most flak jacket looking armor in tarkov

[astral kindle]

Kirasa (green) is probably closest

Afterwards probably korund and defender

[manic pewter]

what was the frequency to call bogatyr again

i dont have the first code and i cba to go into a raid to get it

nvm, i know it

[astral kindle]

35.70

[manic pewter]

thanks

[azure canopy]

do you have to survive and extract to get snowball or can you just save Sirracha for last and blow his brains out at point blank

[astral kindle]

Point blank

Honestly you could just get top of lighthouse and shoot him there to guarantee kill

[manic pewter]

yeah, you can just Mysterious Stranger his ass as if youre in fallout

[azure canopy]

little man has 170 head health so i was thinking a magazine of .45 RIP

[manic pewter]

use a double barrel sawed off with AP-20 slugs for the best experience

[astral kindle]

.338 HP or .50 HP

[azure canopy]

I still need to find the goons, I've been gunning for them but they won't spawn

[young frost]

they seem to love showing up at night

[drowsy juniper]

if you get too close he will aggro anyway

[bronze saddle]

''Kill 40 Reserve ONLY raiders, ah geez ill have bolties maxed out by the time i do this shit, cause these dinguses only spawn when they feel like it even if i activate both switches

[smoky scaffold]

do you want my game? theyre always spawning for me i swear

[bronze saddle]

lucky you....

[smoky scaffold]

labs especially

it’s either a single pmc or a group of raiders pushing me back into a room

[bronze saddle]

Labs raiders dont count for this occassion, but they do count for the KILL 100 RAIDERS which im almost half way there

[smoky scaffold]

is this drip-out

[bronze saddle]

drip out part 1

the KILL 40 RESERVE RAIDERS is THE CLEANER

[cursive sky]

Past raids on Labs for me has been swarms of raiders, annoying af

[dusky arch]

TAC-X with an axmc :)

[cursive sky]

Lmao, just opened the WORST dorms marked opening since 1.0

[dusky arch]

the last 5 raids of labs i did the most valuable thing i probs found were random streamer items and maybe 2 bitcoins. they need to buff labs again

[cursive sky]

Gold chain and 35 SOST

[dusky arch]

lemme guess you got tp?

[dusky arch]

atleast more then i once got... literally NOTHING. it was more empty then some AI's brains

[cursive sky]

Yeah hunting down any AI in the vicinity now incase they vacuumed through the wall

[cursive sky]

I'm not too fussed about loot unless I open a marked room, got more rubels than I can spend

I usually skip all the keycard spawns/rooms on labs, just doing it for quests

[dreamy mantle]

dude, same happened to me the other day, i got 1 Desert Eagle. nothing else.

[forest patio]

at what scav level do scav bosses ignore you?? i finally made it to 2

[cursive sky]

6

[azure canopy]

counterpoint: RShG-2 72.5mm rocket launcher

[forest patio]

so killa will still be an issue at interchange?

[green hamlet]

u mean like as a scav or pmc

[forest patio]

scav level

[sleek comet]

someone who speaks spanish that wanna play? na or eu

[vernal spindle]

Have streets ammo rooms been nerfed silently? Im not finding shit now

[bright sand]

bosses wont ignore you as a pmc.

[undone salmon]

6.0 rep with fence will let bosses ignore your scav

[reef nymph]

bad gateway again?

[orchid raptor]

ithaca model 37 in tarkov... add more vietnam era guns nikita... i need it....

[random socket]

Boys.... I just wanna peel my face off... Where the hell can i reliable search for a COFDM?!
Ive spammed PKPTS on reserve, nothing, a ton of virtexes and vpx es, but no cofdm...
Now im just spamming lighthouse to no avail. Merin is always empty, everywhere else is empty... Give me some advice. Any room, any closed room on lighthouse, where can i find the fucker?!

Need 1 more for key to the tower... All the other cofdms i had were through cultist circle, but now that i need 1 more, ofc i wont get it

[astral kindle]

After loot nerf its been quite painful to find but RB-VO spawns them sometimes if you have extra money to throw on key

[random socket]

m8, im willing to suck dick for it

[sturdy grove]

where is the best of the best place to find Military COFDM Wireless Signal Transmitter
i tried in lighthouse and streets but no suck luck
even in one of those raids i was ambushed by birdeye

[orchid raptor]

is therapist terragroup or was she just a normal doctor?

[opal relic]

Are we aloud to use this channel to ask to trade items?

[crystal umbra]

The rapist was just a normal doctor from the Tarkov central hospital iirc. She doesnt seem to have any affiliation with TG, given the fact that shes even trying to make contact with Sanitar? (Ex-TG)

[astral kindle]

Trading is not allowed in this server, i'd recommend checking #rules

[random socket]

Should I get Leon's hideout key for a cofdm?

[orchid raptor]

i wonder how rich she is from all her schemes

[opal relic]

Idk how I read over that one tha k you @astral kindle

[orchid raptor]

have you seen how much she pays us for the random shit we bring in?

[sturdy grove]

easy easy im not asking to trade anything
i only want to know the best places to look for cofdm myself

[crystal umbra]

All the traders are pretty loaded so no wonder she can afford paying out hje big bucks or giving out expensive supplies lol

[orchid raptor]

ngl i fw all traders except skier

skier's a slimeball

[atomic heart]

does Killa yell "Kantakt!"?

(Contact!)

[deft schooner]

no thats a pmc bot

[atomic heart]

yea, def not Killa, he ran away

[grizzled yoke]

gents, what's a good 7.62x39mm or 556 loadout for labyrinth?

I ask these calibers because I have good AP for them

[random socket]

i used 762x51 with an x17

m61

[gentle pulsar]

what kind of 7.62x39 AP do you have

[grizzled yoke]

yes 762x51 is nice, but I have a lot more high pen 7.62x39

[grizzled yoke]

BP, MAI aplenty

[gentle pulsar]

use MAI

[random socket]

Then mutant

[gentle pulsar]

mutant is overrated as fuck

[grizzled yoke]

would RD suffice?

[gentle pulsar]

yes, def

[grizzled yoke]

gonna slap a drum on an RD and call it a day then. thanks gents

[gentle pulsar]

just try to dome em, you'll headshot kill most bosses there in like 2/3 shots

[random socket]

Doesnt matter. A good gun, great platform, highly modifiable. Nothing wrong with it

[gentle pulsar]

mai ap is goated for labry

[gentle pulsar]

okay pal we get it you're new and ya found your first mutant two days ago, ive seen more of that gun then ive seen Ford Broncos dude

its like seeing a vector plastered in every videogame ever

[random socket]

https://giphy.com/gifs/facepalm-XD4qHZpkyUFfq

[gentle pulsar]

also annoying because its customization options are buns compared to the normal AR15

Here's a tan handguard for your silver receiver ❤️

[grizzled yoke]

so I take it that 556 isn't recommended for labrys at all? even with an hk416?

[random socket]

Just because you don't personally like something, doesn't mean someone else's opinion is bad.
You clearly can't elaborate a proper opinion and what you do? Go for the personal attack. Gg dude. Go touch grass

[gentle pulsar]

i mean you COULD do it with M995 or SSA AP, but higher calibers just ensure you dont die in the process

[grizzled yoke]

true. I just have an overabundance of good AP rounds for 556 and 7.62x39

[gentle pulsar]

MAI AP has 53 damage 58 pen, so you could pen pretty much anything in there with ease
M995 comes in at 42 damage 53 pen

i dont remember SSA AP stats

[gentle pulsar]

id run the RD704 like you said, or really any AK for that matter and dont be afaid to be plentiful with the lead donations

[grizzled yoke]

also is it possible to get labrys research notes from cultist circle?

trying to find them manually sounds so painful

[gentle pulsar]

im gonna be real, i have absolutely no clue

[wintry cobalt]

I ran labrynth with friend and he brought m80 so while I killed the bosses and died he just cleaned up loot

[wintry cobalt]

I've gotten it from scav case

[gentle pulsar]

its not that i dont like the Mutant, its the fact that the gun is way rarer than a majority of other guns for a marginal increase in performance

and even then, it uses platform specific parts that are unique to its platform, which can make it a pain in the ass to run the kit you want

dunno why you took it so personally but if you're made out of glass i can treat you that way.

[wintry cobalt]

I think I got most of them for the quest from the scav case

Why bother with the mutant

[gentle pulsar]

its really just there for the AR15 boys who are unreasonably afraid of the AK platform

(i dont think ive seen one used since Arena dropped 😭)

[wintry cobalt]

I hate running aks but I was bored so I made an rd to run to finish up escort

[orchid raptor]

elimnate 50 PMCs for my weekly
check rewards
2 tank batteries
holy shit

[gentle pulsar]

suppressed RD my bolved

the nailgun lmfao

[wintry cobalt]

I'm running the bmd

I love muzzle flash I love muzzle flash

[gentle pulsar]

its just a mini fucking flashbang LOL

[wintry cobalt]

The bmd is just a smoke machine

The strat is to run two of them for infinite smoke generation

[bronze saddle]

''Inevitable Response'' was supposed to unlock me 3 new tasks, but i dont see no fucking new tasks, what the fuck

[gentle pulsar]

you're gonna have to be a bit more specific than "guntube"
but im gonna guess since you mentioned pouch, you mean like the attachment that turns stuff into a 1x1?

[distant obsidian]

People do that still? Wild

It's PvE, you really don't need to min max that bad

[gentle pulsar]

yeah its still a thing, im pretty sure one of the AKs has something like that in a newer form

[bright sand]

vbs has that clip

[distant obsidian]

I hardly even bring a bag into raids anymore and make money ..

[gentle pulsar]

lemme see if i can find it for ya homie

are you using the AK-74U XRSU handguard one already?

TRAX 1/TRAX 2 + Bridge

thats the only one a step up from the OG one i think

[slate stump]

are the chiappa rhino parts loot only?

[gentle pulsar]

i hightly doubt it

[slate stump]

the parts are only different iron sights and the grip but they arent being sold by traders or players

[gentle pulsar]

huh, odd

same on my end, id say its either a stupid high trader requirement or it is just only findable in raid

[slate stump]

if its a trader requirement you still see it

but if it was loot only the at least one person would sell it

maybe its just not in the loot pool atm

[gentle pulsar]

i dont think so

[slate stump]

front and rear sight arent on flea

neither is the poly grip sadly

[gentle pulsar]

well, im not entirely sure how PVE flea works, but if we take into account the actual value of those items i dont think anyone would take them to sell anyways

if its just bots selling it then it should have a few like you said

weird, iunno

gotta love it when AIs are up against a wall with their gun poking out and can see me across 100m and just rain hell on my ass

[slate stump]

people usually sell a lot of shiet

[gentle pulsar]

yeah but

me personally i would rather pick up some nuts or bolts than the ironsights for a chiappa rhino that'll gather dust on my weapon wall

it sounds like its a collectors thing honestly

[slate stump]

yeah same but if you check any other iron sight you will see people selling them

[gentle pulsar]

it could just be flea banned and you were right from the beginning

they want you to find it in raid to have the unique ver of it

i guess lol

[slate stump]

actually not anymore

i guess less people play the game atm

some of the glock iron sights had a bunch of sellers when i build one on 1.0

now they are trader only too, could be that the chiappa parts have no trader slot and no one sells them

well its actually gonna be a collectors item then once i get it fully kitted out lol

nvm skier sells the fully kitted out thing :^)

[crystal spear]

killing pmc's in a certain location quest are annoying as fuck, i went to customs like 6 times, straight to stronghold and waited till 5min left of the raid to go extract, not a single pmc.
If they put in those quests for pve, then make ai pathing that pmc's actually go there

[placid haven]

Is the Keeper's Word quest not active in the 1.0 game?

[subtle valve]

It is active, wdym. I did it some time ago

[indigo knoll]

worst dorms marked ever, i look inside and all there is, is just a viibin sneaker in the chair bro wtf

[rough lotus]

Hey, I have a question how can I level up fast in PvE? I need level 45 for a quest and I don’t know how :/

[indigo knoll]

honestly just do quests really, a lot of midgame skiier quests are easy and give a lot of xp

for example, irresistible and dangerous props are both very easy and have little entry cost (the ws card you need for the former quest is very cheap)

Also try to research library and max ur intelligence center for more xp ofc

irresistible is a fetch quest worth 30k xp and 20 kills with the aa-12 is kinda fun in pve ngl, its also worth 30k+ xp

also you dont have to go inside the mall for irresistible, which is nice if you dont wanna deal with tripoloski man

[placid haven]

I went to LK and he has no quests to give me.

[gentle bough]

hi i have a question for anyone to help me im new to tarkov but want to upgrade me game in steam to the next addition iv tryed going though dlc but nothink happys

[subtle valve]

Did you do all prerequired quests?

[placid haven]

Yep, all quest in Labry are complete.

[loud raptor]

Even after doing all of his talking options?

Like if you haven’t doneany LK tasks it’s normal that you don’t see the task, you have to talk to him until he literally has no more lines to say then he gives it to you

[placid haven]

I have every quest done for LK with all of his help me out options unlocked.

Ill go back and try again, maybe its a time gate.

[loud raptor]

Probably time gated yeah

good for you

[lunar ice]

That’s what I be looking like minus the mandible cause my ref ain’t at 4 yet

I really like the padding on the arms

[prime trellis]

i don't enjoy arena enough to want to do that entire fucking line again

i did part 3 to get transfer and stopped

[marsh wing]

what do you mean the entire questline again

[prime trellis]

gotta do 1-4 again if you didn't finish 5

[lunar ice]

I only wanna do part 3 to transfer my gp coin but I’m too unbothered to do it

[marsh wing]

oh damn, fuck that

im real glad i did it first try now

[prime trellis]

yeah i did 3 for the transfer and said fuck it so fuck me i guess

[indigo knoll]

bruh i find marked and red keycard in one raid and the goons fucking track me across the map into dorms

[prime trellis]

i didn't want to try for fucking wins in a row

[lunar ice]

The dorms tracked u into dorms

[indigo knoll]

LOL i mean the goons

[lunar ice]

Interesting

[prime trellis]

teams range from competent to you have to wonder if these people are halfway to doing a fent lean

[marsh wing]

were they in your secure?

[indigo knoll]

yes ofc, i also didnt die tho lol

[marsh wing]

oh lol

[indigo knoll]

the goons are so easy to fight in cqb in the presence of doors

[lunar ice]

I’ve only died to them on shoreline cause I couldn’t see them quick enough

Other than that just just run up on u

[prime trellis]

you know what, i can't be assed, i don't need arena anymore and i'm not resetting

not wasting more of my time on jumping through cirus hoops in arena

[lusty vine]

wait whats changing

i just finished all his tasks

[marsh wing]

if you completed part 5 then nothing

[lusty vine]

oh bet

[indigo knoll]

also are the 5x5 weapon boxes in labs red always empty?

[indigo knoll]

they suck to fight in the open but in customs you hide in any building with a door and they just have the irresistible urge to hold w towards you for some reason

[prime trellis]

if you're done part 5 of great heights, nothing, if not, you're getting reset to 1

they're making it so you can start the taskss in arena

incluidng the 1 mil roubles donation to ref

[subtle valve]

1mil in PvE is like 10 minutes labs single raid, lol

[prime trellis]

i don't have an issue with that

It's the best combo when you have cultists + goons + reshala at once 😄

Reshala just a scav at this point broke bitch

I haven’t found him with anything other than a uzi in weeks

also idk if its a bug, but the soft armor on the 6b45 assault doesnt feel like it goes down

or maybe its just me i dunno

Whats a good place to farm plates?

[indigo knoll]

Yes last time i checked they showed up on FLIR

[tacit mesa]

Like lvl5 and up

[lunar ice]

Bruh is the green tracer king

[indigo knoll]

Tagilla prob the easiest especially early game

Later game you can just go to like ground zero or factory and kill pmcs, they spawn with high lvl plates like 30% of the time ngl

[warped imp]

How do I turn off the helmet light?

[urban shell]

H is default

[warped imp]

Thank you kindly

[placid haven]

Kiba store on Interchange

[warped imp]

So why does the Woodsman not like the APC driver?

[indigo knoll]

kiba is pretty solid too ngl

[tacit mesa]

How do i turn the power on?

Is it the electrical station?

[placid haven]

Power plant

[marble bronze]

Craft Tactecs in the Lav

[placid haven]

You can also barter two ram sticks for class 6 plates with Ragman

[thorny gulch]

i just dont understand, why ragman needs 2 rams?

[marble bronze]

Class 6 is largely useless in PvE IMO. class 5 protects just fine against most threats, and the rest of the threats will pierce class 6 nearly as easily

[thorny gulch]

thats a good point, i mean against 45 pen ammos is better class 6

[lunar ice]

I usually just run 1 lvl 6 in the front and the rest will be whatever lvl 5 I got

[placid haven]

Agree... but in PVE, why not run class six?

[marble bronze]

Because class 5 is lighter and easier to get, AND repairs better

Magic plates from Tactecs for instance...

[thorny gulch]

yeah, i think if you dont have too many class 6 is a better option doing that

New 314 exploit just dropped /s

[uneven bronze]

what does the "50" by the rifght bottom side of my screen mean?

[subtle valve]

Zeroing of your scope

[lunar ice]

I’m just tryna get Stam up too rn so I’m just overall wearing lighter gear

[uneven bronze]

OH like 50 meters?

[thorny gulch]

dont leak that man, gpu prices gonna lower 50x more

[subtle valve]

Yes, zeroing is in meters and it is always based on ballistics of "default" ammo of given caliber, not the actual type of ammo in your gun

[uneven bronze]

Gotcha, tyvm

[subtle valve]

On default page up / down is used for zeroing adjustment

In general, unless you're doing 500m+ shots, try to set all your scopes to 100m and learn to do aiming adjustments on 100m zero based on your scope reticle

[gusty whale]

I'd still rather run a gac 4sss/kiteco, but elsewise other t6 plates are too heavy unless you have max str/end

[subtle valve]

Lol, I have both strenght and endurance on elite and I prefer lvl5 GAC plates

Keep your armor below 8kg

[gusty whale]

Tbf for most guns the bullet drop is so little below 300m, you don't need to do anything but point and click anyways

[gusty whale]

Eh, at max str 1.5kg vs 0.9kg means fuck all. Only unfortunate part is other than 4sss/kiteco, most class 6 are at least 3kg

[subtle valve]

If you want to hit thorax that works, if you aim for headshots you need to do some small offsets in your aim elevation 😄

[gusty whale]

It makes 0 difference with most rifle calibers

[subtle valve]

3x39? xD
.300 blk? xD
9x19? xD

[brittle crescent]

Hey y'all .. Any suggestions for XP gain. I just hit level 56, I have 0 quests left to do other than part 3 of REF's arena nonsense and the thought of having to grind 5m+ XP with no quests to do makes me feel a bit ill/sad

[subtle valve]

If you run NATO 5.56 and 7.62 then sure... but it's PvE... take other guns for fun

[gusty whale]

most rifle calibers, you just listed 2 smg calibers and one which is between a smg and rifle caliber

Like 300 BO I agree, that one has a lot of drop for a rifle caliber, but 9x39 is hardly meant for range, and 9mm is just straight up not a rifle caliber

[subtle valve]

I just realized I have 40 LEDX in my stash >.>

Still, for head tapping some adjustments are needed, it's not "point and click"

[gusty whale]

With 5.56/5.45/7.62x51/x54/x39 it very much is point and click below 300m, maybe a quarter of a mil dot adjustment tops. The mil dots on scopes do not work properly in this game at all.

It's annoying they dont

How arma 2 can have working mil dots yet this game can't, I'll never understand

[subtle valve]

At 300m you have a noticeable drop... If you take 7.62x39 BP zeroed for 100m and aim head of scav 300m from you the bullet will hit lower thorax

With 5.56 ammo you have half the drop at 300m, but you also have like 30 dmg per bullet xD

[gusty whale]

Idk in my experience if you're zeroed to 100m most guns have minimal drop at all before 300m (relative to mil drops, not absolute drop)

Then they drop like crazy

Kinda funny tbh how useless anything but 338 is over 500m

[tacit mesa]

Bruh ive just got myself 4lvl 6 plates

[subtle valve]

only .338 and .50 bmg make sense at 500m+
I tried 7.62x51 M993 and it was tragically inefficient

[tacit mesa]

The gz magick works!

[gusty whale]

In game, yeah, sadly

If you want a laugh, use 7.62x54R BT

[sturdy grove]

whats the best metaweapon to get extra space without bringing 2 weapons to kill a killa and tagilla

[fleet loom]

people bring 2 weapons for killa and tagilla?

[scarlet violet]

is voroshka any rare?

[drowsy juniper]

My exact thought

[subtle valve]

No idea what he asks... what is extra space meta weapon

[crystal umbra]

Does Zryachy support service from Lightkeeper mean he will snipe anything and anywhere on the entire Lighthouse map that attacks me, or is it gonna be just in the general vicinity of the lighthouse view?

[distant sky]

the only way to get access to the storyline quest is to wipe my old pve pg?

[fleet loom]

has to be visible

[scarlet violet]

only where he can see

[marble bronze]

Yes

[crystal umbra]

ah okay, makes sense

[subtle valve]

You mean the poster? nope

[scarlet violet]

bruh

[crystal umbra]

will Zryachi shoot Goons if I lure them all the way there to his POV? 😄

from the chalet

[scarlet violet]

why is ts purple

[subtle valve]

cuz BSG? NO idea

[scarlet violet]

he does have a huge range, but idk if that works

[marble bronze]

Doesn't denote rarity or anything like that

[scarlet violet]

what does purple mean then?

[marble bronze]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[scarlet violet]

bruh

[subtle valve]

It means it's a higher rarity / value item, but it does not mean it's rare to find in raid

[marble bronze]

Welcome to Tarkov ig

[subtle valve]

Some keys are purple and have 0 value

[scarlet violet]

well, at least it DOES denote rarity xD

[crystal umbra]

I guess one way to find out then

[scarlet violet]

just little to none

[scarlet violet]

gl o7

[subtle valve]

Zryachiy won't hit anything past the river, it's over 1.2km from the island

[gusty whale]

A) bring a 7.62x51 gun with anything better than m80a1, b) if you really want another gun maybe Rsh with ps12b?

[subtle valve]

If you'd ever try shooting Rouges from LK island, it's 1450m to the first one on the tower right after the briddge

[placid haven]

Ash 12 with PS12B ammo

[subtle valve]

I'm running AS VAL MOD.4 with SPP ammo, I've killed Killa 4 times today with it 😛

[scarlet violet]

how does that damn ash12 with the 40 pen ammo kill the killa face plate? anyone knows how much pain damage it transmits to the head?

[gusty whale]

I'm doing the task for that gun atm, fucking hate it, 9x39 somehow feels like it has more drop than the damn toy gun discs

[crystal umbra]

will he kill anything including goons if they show up in his pov tho?

[subtle valve]

9x39 has bugged high blunt damage, you can take SP-5 and ring his helmet till he drops

[crystal umbra]

if I buy his service ofc

[gusty whale]

His helmet is t4 so goes straight through, it also does crazy armour damage so will melt durability of face plate anyways

[subtle valve]

Yup, he should kill goons if they are on chalets. The rule for him to start shooting is that either you hit something so he follows or something hits you so he defends you

[scarlet violet]

face plate

[gusty whale]

As I said, crazy armour damage, loses durability after a couple hits

[warped imp]

If I kill the Goons as a Scav, will that tank my Rep?

[scarlet violet]

doesn't penetrate in 2 bullets, now does it?

i have seen people here claim they 2 tap killa with ash 12

[subtle valve]

You can kill Killa to face with KS-23 drozd. 2x barrikada slug kills him 😛

[scarlet violet]

on face tho

[subtle valve]

You don't need to crack the faceshield, blunt damage is serious

[scarlet violet]

ye i was asking how much does it do to the head

[marble bronze]

Enough

[scarlet violet]

that makes more sense, almost same pen and 192 damage

[marble bronze]

Easy 2-3tap

[subtle valve]

Barrikada and heavy 12ga slugs are awesome for bullying Killa and Tagilla 😄

[scarlet violet]

1 blacks his head second kills

[gusty whale]

You can 1 tap killa with ash12, his faceplate is done in 3 shots

[scarlet violet]

i am talking about the face

[gusty whale]

And as I just said, 3 shots

[scarlet violet]

i NEVER ever faced killa from sides, that's why i am asking for the face plate

[sturdy grove]

so i mean i need to buy lots of that ammo because in one raid on interchange i had to bring 2 weapons wich include the ash 12 as a boss killer and i killed killa and tagilla but i gained lots of weight i tought i wouldn't make it but i did

[scarlet violet]

does it mitigate that much damage? damn

[marble bronze]

Just go try it... It's simple

[gusty whale]

Face plate doesn't cover top of head, so can still miss it from the front

[scarlet violet]

if i can find him to test

can't find when i want xD

[marble bronze]

Shouldn't be too hard tbh

Just go make a lot of noise

[gusty whale]

7.62x51 is defo better than ps12b, but as a budget friendly option, ps12b is great for normal killa/tagilla

[scarlet violet]

still dificult, the game dicides not to spawn

well, good to know ash12 does a little less than 70 damage after being stopped by a lvl 6 xD

[marble bronze]

It's more fun throwing freight trains anyway

[gusty whale]

Tbf technically I just checked, ps12b through helmet leaves him with 1 hp head, so technically not 1 shot, but will bleed out instantly

[subtle valve]

1-tap... in 3 shots... math does not math here xD

[gusty whale]

Read and it would

1 shot to helmet, 3 if all hit face plate

[scarlet violet]

exacly

[marble bronze]

You've never killed Killa without touching his faceplate?

[gusty whale]

True, ash12 sounds 10x better

[scarlet violet]

that's why i asked him about face damage after he said that xD

[subtle valve]

Many times, but we are discussing hitting his T6 faceshield now 😛

I killed him many times with basic M80 to head nape, and also with leg meta

[marble bronze]

Anyway, ps12b go brr and is my personal favorite for Killa hunting 😄

[scarlet violet]

i have never done that...

i only have 800 hours tbh, so might serve me right

[subtle valve]

.366 AP-M is also pretty awesome for boss hunting

[scarlet violet]

isn't that broken...

[subtle valve]

Why would that be?

[scarlet violet]

huge damage and has lvl 6 pen

[gusty whale]

The problem is tarkov isn't reliable, in that with face shield vs ps12b, after 1 shots there is a 0.2% chance to kill, but by second that's already 10% chance, and 3rd is 65% chance to kill

[marble bronze]

Looking forward to making max strength again so I can run ash12 underweight again

[subtle valve]

.366 is someting between rifle bullet and shotgun slug

[scarlet violet]

interesting

[scarlet violet]

mb, wrong bullet

[subtle valve]

It has only 42 pen and 90dmg... This is enough to 2-tap him 🙂

[gusty whale]

Add in hits to other body parts and the maths is just straight up impossible

[scarlet violet]

i was thinking you were talking .338

[subtle valve]

lol... no. I mean .366 TKM, the one that VPO 215 uses 😄

[gusty whale]

I mean easiest option is just grab a mp-18 and some 7.62x54R BS

[scarlet violet]

wait, i just seen now, 338 has 79 pen

why the actual fuck do we need more 2 pen?

[subtle valve]

Umm... ever heard of rg0 grenades? 😄

[gusty whale]

Honestly with this games armour system pen is just an unreliable metric at the micro level anyways

[scarlet violet]

ye, but more 2 levels of penetration isn't a bit overkill? xD

[gusty whale]

The armour system in this game is just another level of complex

[subtle valve]

Also.. 7.62x54R SNB is way better than BS

[gusty whale]

You should see m903 SLAP ammo

[scarlet violet]

50 cow is smth

shit has 5 levels of over kill on that pen

[gusty whale]

Depends, technically against killa face shield BS is ~5% better chance to 1 shot

[subtle valve]

If only that was not rare as fuck

[gusty whale]

But SNB is also 10x more easy to find than BS, which is saying something since SNB is already annoying enough

[gusty whale]

1 pack, all I've ever found, it's crazy

[subtle valve]

But... BS does not onetap him, it has 72 base dmg and he has 70 head HP... all 30m+ shots already drop dmg below 70

[subtle valve]

I have 40 rounds, found 4 packs only. But I have a lot of M21 and M33

[gusty whale]

BS is 95.5% chance to kill on 1st shot, snb is 91.9%, yes, I agree this does assume you're close range, but with a mp-18 I'd hope you are

[gusty whale]

Lucky, I'm looking for more, but its a joke

[subtle valve]

Try on LK island, most of my .50 bmg is either from reserve or LK island

[gusty whale]

Good to know, I found it on dead tree lighthouse

[marble bronze]

Better make it count too, that's a loooong ass reload...

[subtle valve]

I just checked, dmg drops below 70:
BS at 65m
SNB at 135m
That is way better for SNB

[gusty whale]

Yup haha

[scarlet violet]

why not run mosin instead of the mp-18?

[subtle valve]

You can have two on two slots 😛

[gusty whale]

I mean I don't disagree overall snb is better, but with a mp18 I'm taking BS

[gusty whale]

Mp18 is more fun

[scarlet violet]

bruh

[gusty whale]

It's not about killing him, it's about sending a message

[scarlet violet]

to who? xD

he is gonna be dead anyway xD

[gusty whale]

Bro don't think on it too much, alright

[marble bronze]

To your brainstem

[subtle valve]

Shotty with slugs then

[marble bronze]

Blicky or F off

[subtle valve]

Or take him with meele

[scarlet violet]

wouldn't it be better to send a message with a blicky or toz?

[gusty whale]

Only thing I struggled with was the 9mm chiapa, ended up giving up after like 20 hits and just smacking him with melee

[scarlet violet]

this makes you more scary to scavs? like john wick to everyone

[gusty whale]

I mean blicky is straight impossible without exploits, and honestly I'd rather use toz than the 9mm rhino, that thing is next level bad

[subtle valve]

Killing Killa with meele is actually not that hard, you just need to bait him to keep shooting till his gun jams. Then you rush him when he shoots his TT at you 😛

[scarlet violet]

killing with blicky is likc jehn with pencil, anyways, brb

[gusty whale]

I just got him in a corner behind a wall then w keyed him

[subtle valve]

For best effect use trench shovel (MPL-50) or crowbar 😛

Or police baton from Kollontay xD

Actualy I'm gonna do that today, I'll drop him with police baton xD

[gusty whale]

I used the antique hatchet, animations give +5 Chad bonus

[dense sentinel]

just got the mission chain to get the ak-50 unlocked oh man i cant wait to finish this and get one crafted

[gusty whale]

If you want a challenge tho fr try 9mm rhino, somehow worse than melee

[indigo knoll]

im not gonna lie rys-t is fucking goated

the vision impairment doesnt affect me that much bc i have an ultrawide monitor lol

[subtle valve]

With maxed strength + SJ1 I could actually try to onetap Killa with meele

[gusty whale]

Tbf I don't notice the vision much either way, on max fov anyways

[indigo knoll]

same, rys-t and vulkan have saved me a total of 3 times within the past day from being headtapped, mostly from bosses and their guards

[gusty whale]

Feel like altyn only really removes useless space anyways

[indigo knoll]

ate shots from killa, tagilla, and one of reshalas larp squad

[subtle valve]

Have fun looking at it in stash till you max your strenght to run it xD

[ashen anchor]

for the savior ending it says listen to every audiotape and every note for stories. does that mean i have to do all the stories?

[gusty whale]

Yeah

[subtle valve]

Yes, that's mandatory for savior

[ashen anchor]

even the optional stuff inside the stories? or are these fine to skip

[gusty whale]

Plus specific btr quests and 4 fence rep

[ashen anchor]

cuz i failed some optional stuff

[gusty whale]

Just stories, optional stuff not required

[ashen anchor]

alright thank you so much

[gusty whale]

Nws just make sure you side with btr driver for his quests if you don't have EOD

[ashen anchor]

you mean giving him the moonshine?

also i have the unheard

[dense sentinel]

I'm getting close im at 41 str currently though to be honest with the insane amount of propitols and obdolbs 2 ive got stockpiled from farming labs i could see it as an excuse to level immunity etc while chain popping both stims on deployments to max out str and carry weight to go to town on some hvts during some missions i need to do.

[subtle valve]

moonshine is not even half of the BTR quests chain, lol.
But if you have EoD / Unhinged then you can stop at sensory analysis and it's enough of BTR rep

[gusty whale]

Can't remember if they fixed skill levelling if you max a skill with stims, so be careful of that

[subtle valve]

If you boost your skill level with stims over 50 it should not give you exp

You can always use Arena to grind your skills

I did 45->49 endurance in few hours on arena

[dense sentinel]

oh damn

arena is alright but like i dont want to just play arena to level skills as then i feel like im wasting my teams time trying to just be a skill leveling noob

[gusty whale]

I vaguely remember they said it was fixed around 1.0, but not sure if it actually is, so worth testing for one game, but I wouldn't be optimistic

[dense sentinel]

but yea with my endurance being at lv 19 it would probably be worth it to stop playing eft for a bit and just chain farming labs until my scav junk box is full of btc and level some combat skills

[mint bough]

anyone know good spots to get sj1 stims?

[gusty whale]

Labs haha

[dense sentinel]

ive just been crafting them from the med bench

since you can pull a shit load of whats needed from it just from the one area near the res keycard

[gusty whale]

Or craft them, yeah, good point

[mint bough]

you can craft them?

holy moly I'm dumb

thanks]

[dense sentinel]

yes 7x meds, 2x naci, 3x propital, 1 morph

and you can also craft propital and morph from it

after i got my crafting skill maxed out ive been rolling both and swimming in a lot of stims as i can just craft them two sets at a time while also trying to slowly level hideout management

[warped imp]

I swear I'm cursed, I can't find a Single Packet of Chlorine anywhere

[gentle pulsar]

was wearing level 5 plates in a usec trooper plate carrier yesterday

got one tapped by SNB pmc to the thorax, pr sure a mosin
was so pissed cus it was on woods, rip FIR violet keycard

the amount of times ive died because my thorax is just a few hp lower than full

[inner rampart]

may be a dumb question - i haven’t done like any of the story line since resetting my account just doing tasks, that being said, if my friend has Labs unlocked can i do that story line deal and avoid the transit by queuing up with him? or will it lock us out of labs since i don’t have it unlocked?

[fervent peak]

No, you must go and unlock the place yourself. You cannot 'cheese' the Tour like that

[inner rampart]

gotcha, thank you!

[fervent peak]

You could just rush thru factory and transit together

[indigo knoll]

i got saved by the rys-t for the 4th time in the past 24h bruh i love this thing so much

Any chance of a double ||triple|| XP event any time soon?

[raw nest]

No we just wiped in November last year, maybe negative xp for 1st of April

[dusky magnet]

not really, Tarkov isn't doing these sort of events. Or at least hasn't done historically, who knows what will this new era of post-launch bring

[brittle crescent]

Yea there was a wipe and an XP nerf .. Last run I had all the quests done without a gap and reset to access the story stuff .. Now I just hit 56, have all the quests done (apart from Ticket which doesn't give XP anyway) so I have to grind 5m native XP just to get the next quest block

[raw nest]

All we can do is hunt bosses

[brittle crescent]

Level 79 requires 172m XP now I don't think anyone genuinely likes Tarkov that much

[subtle valve]

Sounds like SoT <-> Inter transit loops 😛

[raw nest]

Pretty much this

[brittle crescent]

What's SoT?

[raw nest]

If you are just after level then you got to suffer more. Personally I don't care enough about it, Story missions were the main focus for me

[brittle crescent]

Yea I've done them all except Ticket. I don't understand why they don't give XP .. They could quite easily give a cumulative 1m XP each and it wouldn't break the game

[subtle valve]

[raw nest]

which ending and step?

[brittle crescent]

Probably I'm waiting for "Kerman's contact" to reach out to me

[idle summit]

the ticket, nvm just gathered all evidence, now i need to be sure btr driver is at 0.4... wish we could check this somehow

[brittle crescent]

If you have done all of his quests and sided with him you'll be fine

[idle summit]

fuck me

[brittle crescent]

You did side with him .. right?

[idle summit]

i need to finish his questline

[raw nest]

Do you have Unheard/EOD edition?

[brittle crescent]

Oh good, yes make sure you side with him otherwise I have bad news lol

[idle summit]

yes i do

[distant obsidian]

Then it doesn't matter. Your past that part ready

[subtle valve]

Why someone would side with Skier? Side with BTR for blue flares ofc

[brittle crescent]

Laziness I suppose lol

[distant obsidian]

Are you crafting the keycard now?

[idle summit]

oh really? but do i have to complete all the tasks? I still have natural exchange

[idle summit]

no waiting for fence to reach-out, i got the karma

[raw nest]

Then you still have tasks to complete

[idle summit]

yay..

[distant obsidian]

Just check the flow chart on the wiki

[idle summit]

fuck me i have like 6 to do

[brittle crescent]

Fence will reach out, then ask you to do something for him, then you need to get the BTR rep up .. So while you wait for fence, go help BTR man and you'll be sorted

[distant obsidian]

You got a few time gates to go still. Plus your not going to 1 shot terminal, your going to want to craft extra keycards before your first try.

[idle summit]

mkay, thanks guys

[distant obsidian]

Just go check the flow chart on the wiki.

Do the steps ahead you can do while you have time gates

[idle summit]

damn, didn't know he can actually spawn with shit ammo

he's been wrecking me constantly with ppbs, bs or bp otherwise, kek

[fervent peak]

I may go back to Labrys... I would like the figurines + the helmet

[topaz void]

Anywhere I can find a list telling me which armors are considered heavy / light? Wiki isnt really helpful

[edgy cipher]

Got the 500 mil rouble hand in to do sitting on 400 mil worth of stuff I can't sell on the flea. Old enough to go to war, too young to drink.

[idle summit]

you can read the armor

[topaz void]

Considering maxing heavy vests for terminal but would be nice to know which ones are heavy n whatnot

[compact folio]

in 2mins i will open both black and violet keycard, hope its win

[idle summit]

black is terrible, look in thru the glass first

[alpine vigil]

i thought it was the plates that decide heavy or light

[compact folio]

what r u talking abt?

[topaz void]

I think its a mix of both soft armor and plates iirc

[idle summit]

you said you're opening black keycard on lab right? the medical room with stims?

[compact folio]

oh no, with safe

[idle summit]

lol

[compact folio]

black next to red and violet

[idle summit]

it's meh, best you can hope for is a couple intel folders and a btc

[compact folio]

yesterday got btc s and violet from there

[idle summit]

nice

[topaz void]

Its not meh, its juicy if you get the btc spawns

But only then

[idle summit]

black card is 9 mil, 10 openings u need 900k to break even

[topaz void]

Youre not gonna break even if you buy it unless you scum on local and exit out on bad luck xd

[marsh wing]

my bad bdro

[uneven bronze]

Can I select and multiple times at.oncd?

[indigo knoll]

for snowball do you have to kill all the cultists or just zrachiy

[marsh wing]

the wiki should have the answer. I think the answer is no tho

[twilit gulch]

What's the main story to get light keeper?

Or is it still side quest

[marsh wing]

should be Batya

[twilit gulch]

Ty

[idle summit]

eriously wtf where is btr driver

[fervent peak]

Batya, or giving the case to Prapor in the Ticket

[marsh wing]

woods or streets

[idle summit]

streets

[marsh wing]

no i was telling you he can be on those maps

[torpid oasis]

?? with a scope when zoomed in 6x full auto no matter how hard i pull down i get 1 bullet on target all others in sky yet 1x with a little bit of pull down i get a lot more on target ?? whats with that ??

[ashen anchor]

same first time he dropped PS for me

[fervent peak]

Welcome to recoil...?

[idle summit]

3 raids and nothing..

[ashen anchor]

im using M80A1 ammo to kill him so its ez

[twilit gulch]

Cool I'm going for the saviour ending so I didn't give to prapor

[compact folio]

got 2 black from circle so even if i get bad loot im winning

[torpid oasis]

yeh recoil is the same 1x or 6 x

[idle summit]

im so happy i can make it now

[torpid oasis]

by having 6x dont mean gun recouils more

[indigo knoll]

so i just need to fight:

-shturman
-sanitar
-glukhar
-kollontay
-zrachiy

what order should I hit this?

im thinking I go lexos first

[topaz void]

Kollon first

Most risk

Only fight in mvd

[indigo knoll]

true, what guns do you guys like to hunt him

[topaz void]

Anything 308

[crystal umbra]

kollontay is easy if you pack a backup weapon that doesnt jam like rpd or ppsh with drum mag

[indigo knoll]

i was thinking I go m60 with full m80, its open bolt so he cant jam it correct

[topaz void]

For bosses always 308

[marsh wing]

i used nades and 545 yesterday

[crystal umbra]

I find glukhar hardest, especially if he is in the trainyard because his guards have INSANE aimbot and engagement range, lmao

[topaz void]

X17 / scar h with 5-7 for backup

[indigo knoll]

can he jam m60?

[topaz void]

M60 can defnitely jam

[crystal umbra]

I think the M60 can jam but dont quote me on that

better pack a RPD or PPSH with drum. Or a revolver with big ammo 😄

[indigo knoll]

i can run RPD with PP ammo

[crystal umbra]

that should be fine. Kollontay usually wears shitty lvl 2 police helmet or no helmet at all

[topaz void]

They will tank pp

[crystal umbra]

so aim for the head, and he's toast

[topaz void]

Unless hs ofc

[crystal umbra]

his guards might be problem tho, because they have heavy armor and altyns sometimes iirc

[fervent peak]

Ugh, still gotta find a glukhar later... Payback don't complete tself :<

[indigo knoll]

yeah fuck them they can be annoying

[topaz void]

Only fight him in mvd, mall is sketch af

[crystal umbra]

in mall his AI can get a bit dumb sometimes tho, which can be in your favour

[meager coyote]

M60 will never jam on its own

[crystal umbra]

like I used the backdoor from the toy store next to mall, which leads you up to the second floor (food court) and sort of behind them.

[indigo knoll]

can kollontay jam m60 doe

if not ill run it and just dunk m80 into him and his squad

[topaz void]

Im pretty damn sure its jammed on me once, but you might be correct

[crystal umbra]

ok so I googled this and a year old Tarkov thread on reddit says it can't jam?

[topaz void]

After I would go sani, sthur, gluk, zari

[indigo knoll]

I found the same exact thread i think lmao, 11 months ago?

[crystal umbra]

might be the same then lmao

[marsh wing]

anyone else ever feel like their arena matches are actually ranked and they got pulled into a tier above themself?

[indigo knoll]

What is the meta m60 build

Bmd?

[topaz void]

Meta and m60 dont go in the same sentence : p

[meager coyote]

Elite strength

[indigo knoll]

True lol

[distant obsidian]

It hardly takes any parts. Just swap stuff around to find the best

[indigo knoll]

I only have 32 str 😔

[crystal umbra]

m60 is so damn unwieldy you might as well just go with whatever lmao

the ergo will never be good and shits gonna be heavy either way

[topaz void]

I personally never really have a problem with kollons jamming

[indigo knoll]

I used to run m60 and pkm when hunting bosses with elite str before 1.0

[topaz void]

Bring pistol just in case and youre fine

[crystal umbra]

just do a Kaban build. Slap weird shit on it, and embrace the 0 ergo

[indigo knoll]

Last time he didnt jam me but maybe I was lucky

What pistol should i bring as backup

[topaz void]

It rarely happens I feel like

[marsh wing]

wtf we talkling about kollon jamming your gun

[topaz void]

5-7

[distant obsidian]

He will jam that as well

[indigo knoll]

Im only doing snowball btw because the goons, partizan, and reshala fucking spawned in the same vicinity

[distant obsidian]

He jams what ever gun your holding if his melee is out

[crystal umbra]

yeah he gotta pull out his baton first for the jam. but his AI is dumb sometimes, so at mall he ran at me but he still had his main weapon out, so I just shot him point blank in the face lol

[compact folio]

Guys, wtf is this, came in black and no loot

Opened safe and got 1 btc and 1 cardianl

[distant obsidian]

It's called rng

[indigo knoll]

Ik some guns he cant for some reason, ppsh and rpdn is are a few of them, m60 maybe

[compact folio]

Scavs vacumed everything i guess

[compact folio]

Didnt know it can be that bad

[distant obsidian]

Just kill him before

[crystal umbra]

any revolver. those can't jam by design it seems lol

[indigo knoll]

Well yeah but its not always that easy tbh

[distant obsidian]

Why not? If every spawn rolls no spawn, then nothing spawns

[crystal umbra]

the big revolver that uses ash12 ammo maybe?

[indigo knoll]

I have the rsh but i dont wanna run around streets, ig it cant be helped tho its my best bet

[distant obsidian]

Just kill him before lol

[indigo knoll]

Well no shit but sometimes his guards push you first and it gives him time to whip out his stupid baton

[crystal umbra]

honestly, I'd just take a normal gun with good AP ammo against his guards and Kolon, and one PPSH with a drum as a backup in case he gets close and starts jamming

[indigo knoll]

What ammo to run on ppsh?

[topaz void]

You'll be fine

[crystal umbra]

if you shoot him in the face, any ammo works really

and he will be really in your face so it will be hard to miss lol

[topaz void]

Killed him so many times most of the time he's dead before he can really do anything

[crystal umbra]

but if you want a certain ammo, I used 7.62x25mm TT M855A1 from LVL3 Mechanic

[topaz void]

Just NEVER go mall imo xd

[indigo knoll]

Should I run m60 then or just sa58/x-17 with 50 round drum

[indigo knoll]

Fighting him in mall sucks so bad

Ive never fought him in MVD does anyone have any advice

[marsh wing]

bro

just nl545 with bt or bp

just send it and take nades

[crystal umbra]

you wanna kill them all inside really fast. Be mindful that the guards can sometimes actually run out of the building through the other entrances

and they're kinda bitch to chase around outside lol

[marsh wing]

i killed all of his guards and him while pushing 2nd floor yesterday

[indigo knoll]

i dont like only having 30 rnds in my nl545 ngl and idk if i should take the 95 rounder that bitch jams all the time

[marsh wing]

use the back stairs

bro needs better dura. I run 95rd all the time and its only jammed once i get below 90hrp

[indigo knoll]

ive never been inside mvd 😭

[indigo knoll]

its jammed on my ak12 at 95

[marsh wing]

ak12 is worse than 545

[crystal umbra]

mine never jams. are you keeping your nl545 at good durability?

[topaz void]

Peek into mvd from main street if youre really unconfident, you can snipe him and bounce

[marsh wing]

like i said, im always using the 95rds

[indigo knoll]

i never run 545 below 90

[topaz void]

Otherwise just send it with nades like the ither guy said

[marsh wing]

#screenshots message
@indigo knoll

full send front door to back of mall, there are two doors that lead to stairwell

super easy to peak top and bottom floor

[indigo knoll]

bet

that stairwell looks easy to defend yuh

[marsh wing]

i killed him my first time yesterday and it was a fucking breeze

[indigo knoll]

do they nade you

[marsh wing]

i didnt have any thrown at me

i threw plenty at them tho

[crystal umbra]

he can also use the world of childhood shop next to the mall which leads him to the second floor with a good flank at kolon

also 2 sets of doors he can peek

[indigo knoll]

there's stairs in the wold of childhood shop?

[crystal umbra]

ah I replied to wrong person, was supposed to be taco lol

[marsh wing]

upset, can i dm you?

[crystal umbra]

yeee, you will find them easily since there is a dead scav with a flare at the bottom of the stairs.

[marsh wing]

i hate asking these questions

[indigo knoll]

yeah ofc

[alpine vigil]

is kappa in 140 hrs legit or na

[fervent drift]

Omfg that was the second time this crap game completely froze forcing me to restart the raid

[indigo knoll]

idk, i just got collector after like, 3 and a half months but ive been on vacation-ish most of the time lol

[raw nest]

Yes

On pve, yes

[cursive sky]

I had the same amount of kills as the worst three of my teammates combined on teamfight, please Nikita, give me some decent teammates for once

[marsh wing]

ARENA 120 BABY

[cursive sky]

Fuck Arena

Useless fucking matchmaking system

[marble bronze]

^

[marsh wing]

ngl, my last match i had 13 kills. next highest on my team was 24 and then up

dont forget, this is unranked bro, they match anyone against anyone

[cursive sky]

Yeah and it's fucking stupid af

Have a hidden mmr or something

[marsh wing]

you only mad because you cant complete TGH, arent you?

[cursive sky]

So I don't have to play with the 0-6 special ed kids

No I'm done with all the quests

[marsh wing]

ah, just tired of shit matchmaking

[cursive sky]

I'm doing dailies

[marsh wing]

i am too. I got two of the exact same ones

ALSO JUST REROLL THEM TO CHECKPOINT 5HEAD

[cursive sky]

I can have way more solo impact on blast/teamfight

[marsh wing]

true, true

im not good enough to have impact on those since its full of tryhard every time i play

[cursive sky]

I'm a washed unc, but I have like 30k hours in FPS games

[indigo knoll]

is the best lmg rig still lbcr

[echo barn]

Why do I have to pay 6 million roubles of fees to place an item for 5.5 million on the flea market

[marsh wing]

to prevent overinflation

[echo barn]

well even if i put it 400k under the lowest actual price

i still pay 2m more

[marsh wing]

what is it

[echo barn]

RB-PKPM

with 1 use

[marsh wing]

yeah, no one ever really makes profit off selling those

they just sell them to give them to other players and because they dont want them

[echo barn]

I mean its op as hell i got 3 black keycards with 1 key

[ashen anchor]

technically i could make it but i am not doing that rn cuz im leveling up my crafting so im using the shortest time ones im getting closer tho level 31 crafting now i usually level up 4 levels per day with my play time

[idle summit]

already got maxed crafting, level 40 hideout management. first elite skill

[indigo knoll]

damn, how do you max crafting fast

[brittle crescent]

was gonna say how t f do you max crafting first haha .. Metabolism is the quickest to level by a long way

[ashen anchor]

i was so lazy to do it smh i got Kappa before i got to level 20 crafting lmao

[brittle crescent]

2 crafts per station is so nice though I gotta say it's so helpful haha

[cursive sky]

Nice

Just aced 1v5

[ashen anchor]

you make paper, gas masks, slickers, MRE, round pliers, gunpowder kite and you cycle through these over and over its so fast to level up

[idle summit]

so far got 600 rounds of m80a1

[ashen anchor]

these crafts take the least amound of time and dont do the same craft in a row

[marsh wing]

UPDATE BABY

[ashen anchor]

be a saint and lend me some

[idle summit]

updateeee

[vapid leaf]

surely icebreaker tomorrow

[brittle crescent]

oh yeah of course I have max crafting I meant how does one do it before metabolism (since he said it's his first maxed skill), because meta is by far the quickest to level

[cursive sky]

#screenshots message

@marsh wing impact you can have on teamfight

[ashen anchor]

by not being lazy like me and doing the crafts every raid lol

its honestly insanely fast to level up i went from 18 to 30 in 2 days basically

and im only playing like 4 hours a day max

if i like watch a show and keep pausing to do them id level up to max in a day probably

[compact folio]

Opened black got only 1 btc with cardianal and rolie but opened violet and got gpu and some valuables, still good i think

[fervent peak]

Remember folks: Any valuables room opening is gambling, please gamble responsibly~

[compact folio]

Everything is gamble if u think abt it

[fervent peak]

Proceeds to snort an entire dorms 314 in a couple hours

[marsh wing]

I really wish we had to sign a waiver before each marked room we open

just so people stop bitching about loot not being what they want

[ashen anchor]

honestly just go to Labyrinth if you have good ammo and can access it free loot like 2-5 mil per round

[indigo knoll]

i killed kollontay, spawned next to him in mall holy fuck

[ashen anchor]

or labs but imo its more risky

[ashen anchor]

bro is cozplaying as a gaurd

[marsh wing]

was he hard

[indigo knoll]

he had me trapped in the stairwell next to the playground building and i stressed highkey bc he and his guards all separated but i got em all

[hard cloud]

i think the big problem is, alot op people still comparing loot the softcore wipe, when everywhere was loaded ETC

[willow tinsel]

at the fence quest in savior ending when you haave to kill 5 PMC's at Shoreline annd 5 PMC's at Interchange without killing scavs, can a friend of mine shoot the scav while doing this? or does the whole team count

[indigo knoll]

m80a1 m60 lmao

[ashen anchor]

the hardest boss by far is Killa on interchange and then followed by Shturman and then Sanitar in Cottage specifically

[raw nest]

Yea, best done duo

[willow tinsel]

thanks mate

[indigo knoll]

i agree with sanitar at cottages bro not only refuses to die but he wallbangs you like an r6 player with wallhacks on

[fervent peak]

While you are correct, the use of a labrys card is still a 'valuables' room, it just contains multiple rooms inside said room 😛
Regardless, it's gambling when going in there. Sometimes a little good, sometimes a little shit

[ashen anchor]

Killa has no voice lines and can be anywhere and he will immediately shoot and might drop shot you, Shturman also has insane reach and a lot of cover with his gaurds like you could snipe him from far but if you are not sooo far away you might get dropped by him or his gaurds, then Sanitar just entrances to the cottage is just so disadvantagous and you can be an easy pick

[fervent peak]

Also isn't a labyrs card like 500k in barter items?

[willow tinsel]

Killa does have voicelines tho, you frag and he'll yell

[ashen anchor]

statistically speaking its not gambling you will make a lot of money everytime you go there if you dont die even if you dont find the goop so no id say its not gambling at all

[ashen anchor]

bro can see me through the cracks man fuck that guy

like the wooden cracks surrounding the cottage

[fervent peak]

If we are referring to averages over the whole run, you would be correct, however, I believe my context of gambling only refers to marked rooms and labs color cards, which can be much more accessible to more players, but that is semantics at that point

[indigo knoll]

fighting him in cottages is genuine hell im ngl, its like playing siege in a 1v4 except they're all possessed by fucking demons and know exactly where you are at all time

[ashen anchor]

I swear to everything that is holy he does not say shit most of the time and he immediately shoots me on sight not to mention that you need good ammo to deal with him and thanks to interchange the scavs will make you waste waay more ammo than ideal

[ashen anchor]

its so stupid cuz when he is in the resort its so easy lol

they all be hiding in a random room usually like idiots

[willow tinsel]

nah, ive dealth with him with BT ammo most of the times, and that shit is mediocre at best

but yea, if hes far away, you prolly wont hear the voiceline

[ashen anchor]

yea pretty much but it pays for itself unlike most marked rooms which you could easily lose money on or make 2 mil in 10 runs...

[willow tinsel]

thats why i check every spawn possible first with nades

[fervent peak]

Correct, but let's dig a bit deeper. On a use by use basis, you are more likely to lose than win. Labrys has stuff everywhere, while marked rooms are only one room in an entire map. Many complain about bad loot (which is valid), thus my original comment/joke of 'gambling responsibly'

[ashen anchor]

the worst part of interchange is honestly not finding Killa or him not spawning... cuz then im scared for the whole raid that shit is nerve recking

The best thing is if i find him in the first 3 minutes cuz then if i die idc that much and if i kill him its a safe run

[fervent peak]

Anyways, that's enough of that topic, I go back to mulling over what to comlpete tonight on Tarkov

[ashen anchor]

I actually agree with you i personally gamble my keys not because i think its worth it i just wanna see what i get and keep my expectations low cuz money is easy to get anyway through labs and labyrinth and i also hate the bitching about bad loot cuz if they marked rooms were goated people wont loot anything else way earlier into the game

[fervent peak]

We have come to an agreeable consensus, huzza! EXCELSIOR!

[indigo knoll]

sometimes he will wallbang u when hes behind that one blue partition inside and ive died to it before it sux

[waxen vapor]

question i transit to a another map i paid for the fee to transfer 2 items when do i get them and how

[fervent peak]

You'll get it as an in-game mail in about an hour

[waxen vapor]

thanks

[ashen anchor]

its like uber-eats but in game

no driver tracking tho

[distant obsidian]

Oooo patch tomorrow. @rare field icebreaker tomorrow surely

[cursive sky]

Nauuurrrr

I need it to be delayed another month, got poe1 league soon

[ashen anchor]

whats icebreaker?

[sturdy grove]

who knows......
probably black division

[raw nest]

Got my last two pcu fans and 2 more gpus

[fervent peak]

Feck, of course it'll be just before the PoE league

[indigo void]

Hey, is there an ongoing event where The Goons spawn on every map?
Me and my friend's been going to woods, lighthouse, and Customs and we have encountered them all 3 times.
This is consecutively

[worthy otter]

Not an event, but it is happening

[marsh wing]

wrong. Its the GOONATHON
