pve-chat

[manic pewter]

Probably gonna do it with a buddy

[distant obsidian]

god idea

[manic pewter]

He probably has more 9x39 BP as i dont seem to find any now that im actively looking for it

[magic yacht]

Ive just completed Accidental Witness today

that's one of the easier ones

[magic yacht]

I have stacked so many BPs by just constantly picking up the 8 round packages

[manic pewter]

I pick those up too, when i find em

Atp i might aswell use a 7.62x51 rifle

Given smuggler event gave copious amounts of m993

[willow tinsel]

literally had to buy more ammo boxes for that event

[warped imp]

Alright Night Shift, I'm out for a couple weeks, Try and not burn the hideout down, or let hammer man stab you with the drugs he's on

[manic pewter]

I was busy grinding cultists

[meager coyote]

Still regret turning in the 10 cases 💔

[manic pewter]

Like, i have no shortage of good ammo

I just want to use a Val

[magic yacht]

I had so many cases that turning in 10 was worth getting the 300 SNBs

[willow tinsel]

it was such aa pain, but i had to do it because i just wanted the questline to be done

keep telling myself today that ammo is tempoary, quest completion is forever

[jovial cobalt]

ammo is forever quest completion is temporary

[willow tinsel]

[jovial cobalt]

i get the biggest dopamine hit when i find good ammo in raid lol

[manic pewter]

Quest completion can go suck it if it doesnt give me an achievement

[jovial cobalt]

real!!

[distant obsidian]

ammo is the true end game

[manic pewter]

100000 rounds of GT

The true endgame

[willow tinsel]

i thought id get an achievement too, but here we are

[distant obsidian]

ok good ammo is the true end game lol

[manic pewter]

Wdym, GT is amazing

[distant obsidian]

prob to short of an event for one. People would be livid if they didnt get it

[willow tinsel]

yea i was suprised it eended that quick, prolly for the better since marked room keys were everywhere

[manic pewter]

Possibly for the better it was short with the amount of insane ammo and cultist rates

[jovial cobalt]

anyone got a specific area / map to find elite pliers or fireklean on

im thinking of checking smugglers base idk

[willow tinsel]

woods marked room bunker for me

[distant obsidian]

woods bunker and depot

smugglers

[jovial cobalt]

bet

woods marked room bunker issss in the middle mountain near the sniper scav right

the bunker with the long hallway and closed door at the end

[distant obsidian]

no

[jovial cobalt]

fuk

[willow tinsel]

to the left of village

[mossy blade]

Tbh wherr tf do I find lots of BT+ ammo for 5.45

[distant obsidian]

one by scav village

[jovial cobalt]

aw i hate going over there

[odd gale]

I can never find it tbh

[distant obsidian]

why bt, just go for bp, bs and 7n40

[mossy blade]

Im just saying anything above BT really

[jovial cobalt]

always check bear pmc mags

[willow tinsel]

i used to remember a specific rock formation and run to the left of village to memorise it

[odd gale]

You can buy BT from prapor I think it's 90 rounds max

[distant obsidian]

yeah bear mags have bs often

[astral kindle]

Reshala

[distant obsidian]

but yeah, rash

[jovial cobalt]

start to memorize where you find russian ammo and visit those areas more often; for example batya camps all spawn ak ammo, or roofs on reserve

woods depot i find some

[distant obsidian]

what bosh said to. I just find ammo. All around inerchange. Bear camp at back, Un camp, smugglers camp and bear camp in the mall

reserve all over

[jovial cobalt]

ye the train cars on the track kinda in front of the smugglers camp i've found ammo loose spawns there

[mossy blade]

Huh i never find those 120 round boxes

[distant obsidian]

games got ammo all over the place really

[willow tinsel]

they spawn somewhat frequent around the ammo crates

[jovial cobalt]

always peek inside opened green weapon boxes or around piles of crates of ammo

like when i do lighthouse i always run through the blue chalet or wherever because theres random ammo spawns everywhere

[mossy blade]

I know that NATO ammo is Labs, but WP amm

wp ammo is tricky af

[willow tinsel]

i remember at the start of wipe, thats where i'd go to find BP, BT and BS, and inside Tagillas hideout aswell

[manic pewter]

WP ammo?

[distant obsidian]

that to

and tag himself

[jovial cobalt]

warsawpact

[manic pewter]

Ah

Reserve

Doesnt matter where

[jovial cobalt]

i found most of the ak ammo i needed when 1.0 hit by doing the batya story chapter and going to the camps over and over bc i couldn't figure out the story chapter

[willow tinsel]

oh yeah, front side of IDEA bear camp had it aswell, i found out too late into wipe

[manic pewter]

Reshala guards are a good source of decent AK ammo

[manic pewter]

Yeah carousel is pretty good

[willow tinsel]

I lived off of those guards for some time

[manic pewter]

Streets has loads of good ammo rooms with cheap keys

[willow tinsel]

yea not to mention Kaban guards has some nice BS ammo too

or BP

one of the two

[manic pewter]

Yup

They can have 9x39 too

[odd gale]

If only I could run streets

[willow tinsel]

from now on, i take an RShG with me all the time in streets to nuke Kollontay

nobody got time to deal with that one by one

[tender oracle]

dam they really did improve the load time

i went in labs in less than 50 second

black card room still dog shit tho

[manic pewter]

Which black we talking? Double black or stim black?

[tender oracle]

stim, i got like 2 stim out of it lol, i did the double only a bit coin and intel

borderline negetive profit if every open is 800k but only need 1 lucky hit out of 5

[willow tinsel]

you'd only ever open that door for stim quests, and even then Sani's room and res unit rooms are better for that

[manic pewter]

Green is also good for stims

[willow tinsel]

or green

yea

[tender oracle]

i was trying to open green but i forgot it green havent play since jan lol

[manic pewter]

You can peak into black and just see if there are any stims there worth opening for

[tender oracle]

then raider caome to me

[manic pewter]

Or ledx

[willow tinsel]

oh yeah, theres aa quest that requires that room if im not mistaken, i might be mistaken dont count on that one

[manic pewter]

What, green?

[willow tinsel]

no, black stim room

i think its a main story quest if im not wrong

[manic pewter]

Mmm, unsure

Double black is needed for kruglovs card atleast

[willow tinsel]

ye

[tender oracle]

i am glad the flea price is normal now when i stopped playing in jan , marked room key cost like 100m

[manic pewter]

And a green keycard is needed for the keycard to get into the secret room on streets in his apartment

Marked keys are going up in price tbf

[willow tinsel]

https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Following_the_Bread_Crumbs yea this quest, you need the black keycard for stim room

[astral kindle]

Oh thanks for link as i'm just about to do it

[willow tinsel]

[tender oracle]

not sure if pkpm worth 7m , unless it massively buffed , i open that room 30 times i got 2 chains out of it every time

[manic pewter]

Good thing i have all of those

[manic pewter]

PKPM is useful for 314 barter

So if you have a 10 use its worth to use 9 times and then turn it into a 314

[tender oracle]

yeah i mean i entered it 27 times

i need another rb bk

[willow tinsel]

make sure to literally vaccuum the whole place, theres been cases wheere ive seen stuff clipped through props, even on top of the TV's there might be black keycard spawns

[manic pewter]

In the folders too

The white dot is your best friend

[tender oracle]

i mean the room is not that bad i got mutiple doc case and key tools but compare to rbbk or vo

[manic pewter]

Lmao, the kiosk on the boat has the audacity to say 3 water bottles for 9 dollars is a good deal

[tender oracle]

for the 9 use of VO i got like 3 blacks 2 green and 2 red lmao and a rr

[manic pewter]

VO is the GOAT

Heavily slept on key i feel like

[tender oracle]

people dont like it because it far away from extract i guess

[odd gale]

I always hit vo if I spawn next to it

[manic pewter]

I was tempted to buy a ULTRA med the other day as i got a Kiba outer key, but its 4.5m

[astral kindle]

Not worth

[tender oracle]

alot of times i had to fight gulhar and i got his map and i just hit the room and extract right next to it

[upbeat osprey]

not worth really

[manic pewter]

My thoughts exactly

[upbeat osprey]

even kiba can be very so-so

[manic pewter]

Good thing i got it for free

[upbeat osprey]

I typically don't find any good (class 5 or 6 UHMWP) plates, although it seems now after the change it's started spawning nice guns sometimes. Found a spear, and some 308 MDRs and SAs

but still very mixed on kiba

[misty garnet]

so is kiba worth spending my last sheckles on

[manic pewter]

No

[willow tinsel]

if you run into cultists, they have some decent plates, sometimes even slicks with t6 armor

[misty garnet]

oke

[manic pewter]

Spend it on necruspharm if youre getting any interchange key

Cheapest of the high tier ones

[misty garnet]

oke

oof im of by 800k

if only i could sell my check 13 marked room

[manic pewter]

Run relax room, youll make profit 100% of the time

But dont buy it from flea

It has a 100% spawn rate

[misty garnet]

where

[manic pewter]

In the dev building

[neon beacon]

Hello guys, my friend buy PVE we both have fresh game and start from lvl 1 but we cant play together. If i am leader who start game he DC and cant reconect there is multiple errors always. And vice versa. We tried for 2 hours to start game together and nothing work...

[misty garnet]

yeah buddy i only have 385 hours if i could as what is dev building

[manic pewter]

Has about 10 diff spawns, all of which you can find on the wiki

[manic pewter]

Are you from the same region as your friend?

[neon beacon]

Yes, of course. We play Interchange just fine and next day errors start occuring. And always different one. battleye anticheat error, invalid matching, one or more error occured, the exception occured in the aplication

Etc.

I think its his problem but when we switch leader and he start game i start to have these type of errors too

[manic pewter]

Hmm, id ask in #community-support they are smarter than me in this regard

[upbeat osprey]

finally, goons

but no GL

I guess I'll settle for V UHMWP plates

[cosmic patrol]

in every regard

[west mist]

gotta love when a scav has deadeye aim and a lvl 4 helmet that somehow takes no damage and protects all of his head from several rounds of m856a1 and BT

[manic pewter]

[west mist]

bro hit the same spot on my shoulders like, 12 times

[west mist]

and missed all of the rest of me

[misty garnet]

scav being scav

[upbeat osprey]

scav things

you don't wanna know how it be when scavs got cracked aim

[misty garnet]

ive seen scavs tank 762x51 bs gs

[upbeat osprey]

tbh high pen ammo does not do good damage

[misty garnet]

yeah still feels like it should die

[west mist]

its possible it was one of ghluk's guards, though i didnt see an ifak on him

[upbeat osprey]

it feels like, but it probably shouldn't

[west mist]

high pen rounds sacrifice their damage for that pen

[upbeat osprey]

irl high pen ammo lacks stopping power

[tender oracle]

dont peak same angle

[upbeat osprey]

so I think it's pretty fair

unless you hit a major artery, then you don't need to shoot more as they will bleed to death soon

[west mist]

i looked at him for about half a second, while he was turned away from me, and he whipped around and did that in one go

[upbeat osprey]

(aka big bleed)

[misty garnet]

i usally used balanced ammo but i have friends that say high pen equals more dmg and all that

i think that only works for teir 6 armor or t5

[upbeat osprey]

your friends are not the brightest

[west mist]

high pen only equals more damage if you're fighting bosses

[upbeat osprey]

not even then

high pen is just high pen, nothing else. If there is nothing to pen it's actually to the detriment

[west mist]

also it seems i have dropped a pmag in my frantic rush to get all the guards/scavs off my friends body

[misty garnet]

i use meh m855 since thats all i got

[jovial cobalt]

i stole it

[upbeat osprey]

I mean, m855a1 is the main US ammo still for a good reason

[manic pewter]

Its just a pmag

[west mist]

its a good thing i have many spare from opening weapon cases

[misty garnet]

i accidentally bought 1.2k m855 so im broke

[tender oracle]

high pen did means more damage in the context of enemy armored up where high pen is required

[upbeat osprey]

depends on where you shoot 🤷‍♂️

[west mist]

weak

[tender oracle]

but for flesh high pen means nothing

[upbeat osprey]

and depends on the boss

[misty garnet]

weak ?

[west mist]

broke from spending one scav run

[upbeat osprey]

he means 1.2k of m855 is not real money

and tbh it's not

[misty garnet]

well it is to me

[tender oracle]

i mean u could run quakemaker and u only shoot legs the entire game....

[misty garnet]

cause im not the best at making money

[upbeat osprey]

you can shoot faces too on many of them

[misty garnet]

nor have i gotten to great heights pt3 done

[upbeat osprey]

many of the bosses are allergic to helmets

[manic pewter]

Really? Dont think ive ever seen em with M855a1, mostly M193

[tender oracle]

i have a skill issue thats preventing me from shooting face

[west mist]

zero, may i suggest running scav runs on customs, wait for a fight to go on, pick off pmc's, scavenge for any higher tier armor, take that and the best few guns and profit

[misty garnet]

i think i do scav runs

[upbeat osprey]

you shoot face by spraying its general direction with a fast RPM weapon :P

[misty garnet]

31 scav raids

[manic pewter]

We had M193 too for that matter

[misty garnet]

224 pmc runs

[upbeat osprey]

but yeah, centermass is easier

[west mist]

well, i get an average of 200-400k per scav run, 1200 m855 is 287532 rub's

[misty garnet]

i usally cycle interchange scav camp for the 50% chance of getting moonshine

[west mist]

i am at 113 scav runs and 329 pmc runs

[tender oracle]

but yeah when your aim is getting good high pen moderate damage ammo is more desireable because u start just head shotting , 30 round u might kill 30 people

[west mist]

i live on this

[misty garnet]

wich makes between 350k to 600k depending on flea price that day or second

[upbeat osprey]

I mean, m995 is not a general issue ammunition

oh nvm

you are talking about m193

[manic pewter]

Indeed

[west mist]

this beauty is my main gun, i love it, it servs me well, and most importantly, it kills non boss/guard in one headshot

and by this

i mean what i put in weapon modding

[misty garnet]

i copied my m4a1 build of google ai

[west mist]

i will usually get 30-50 kills per mag on a good day

little less if my hands are feeling extra shaky

[manic pewter]

Post it in #weapon-modding im intrigued what the AI cooked up

[misty garnet]

okay

[upbeat osprey]

can't say for sure since I'm not in the army, but to my knowledge the current 5.56 standard issue is m855a1

I guess also depends on deployment/area

[tender oracle]

google ai says m855a1

[upbeat osprey]

I can see them giving somebody like national guard older/more dated ammo

[manic pewter]

Its a mix of 855A1, 855 and 193 seemingly

[misty garnet]

there

[upbeat osprey]

sounds very plausible

but yeah, in tarkov I'd say m855a1 is a very solid round to run, probably as high on pen as I'd say you should run as a daily driver

atl for PVE

[odd gale]

I like pain so I run SSA Ap

[upbeat osprey]

I'd love to know where tf do you get that many SSA AP

[odd gale]

No dmg all pen

[odd gale]

Labs

[manic pewter]

Probably why you play overwatch too

[upbeat osprey]

my main concern would be not even damage, but procurement :D

[pastel hull]

no warmage enjoyers?

[odd gale]

Yep

[odd gale]

That's not pain since you can leg meta

[upbeat osprey]

ehh, I've been doing labs for gpsa, but nowhere near "daily driver" quantities of SSA

[tender oracle]

i got shit loads of 100 round box of m995 dont know where

[manic pewter]

Flesh rounds are cringe, especially if going for legs only

[pastel hull]

face or bust

[upbeat osprey]

leg meta is pretty legit

[tender oracle]

in pve flesh round is bad because bots wont panic like human does lol

[west mist]

also, finally got my first AESA

[upbeat osprey]

good if you are trying to get some gear for personal use

just taking off pristine plates and rigs is pretty damn good

[manic pewter]

Leg meta builds terrible habits imo

[upbeat osprey]

well, I don't run leg meta either, but I see merits in it

[misty garnet]

leg meta nah i shoot random bull till it dies

[tender oracle]

but it is kind of funny runing full auto glock with 6 drums

[misty garnet]

im probably the poorest lvl 30 in the game ngl

[odd gale]

How much you got?

[misty garnet]

i had 30k roubles but to day i earned 1.2m

[west mist]

i will agree with you being poorer than me, but that's because i was here the whole time during the most profitable event ever

[odd gale]

Oh wow

[tender oracle]

like "today" is how long

[upbeat osprey]

rn I have smth in the order of:
m855a1: 14 stacks
m995: 9 stacks
SSA: 7 stacks

[misty garnet]

in uh 12 hours im chud while watching my friends play random games

[upbeat osprey]

so I wouldn't run anything above m855a1 for daily driver stuff, and I still mix it with m856a1

[odd gale]

I'm gonna check

[west mist]

if ye check in screenshots you can see where all of my rainy day funds are

[pastel hull]

just hit necrus and ultra med 5 times you are golden

[tender oracle]

dam 12 hours 1.2m , u gonna go grab some green flare and go to interchange ,u make like 1m every 20 min...

[upbeat osprey]

tbh just do comp runs on interchange

loot wires, ram, gpu, ecm

[odd gale]

I dont even run interchange

I just do labs

[frozen kayak]

Think anyone here would be willing to trade 1k m995 for 1k sp6? I cba doing a quest chain

[west mist]

how make 1m in 20m on interchange?

[misty garnet]

i know but im tryna get drunken maste and it aint seem to work

[upbeat osprey]

and fill the rest with bolts, metal parts, screws, etc.

[astral kindle]

No trading allowed in here

[misty garnet]

bro i only have 1 labs run under my belt

[odd gale]

It's so easy

[frozen kayak]

Is there a channel for trading?

[fleet loom]

no

[odd gale]

Easiest map to run besides factory

[frozen kayak]

Fair

[fleet loom]

mods no like

[misty garnet]

i got lost very easy

[fleet loom]

rules say no

[frozen kayak]

Ok just sell it I guess

[misty garnet]

then almost died to a 4 stack of pmcs sitting in a corner

[upbeat osprey]

well, not everyone can do labs

[fleet loom]

everyone can do labs

[tender oracle]

u gonna run a few more labs then it easy, u can avoid bots anywhere u go

[upbeat osprey]

blueberries can do interchange just fine

you can't even buy lab cards until what

[misty garnet]

i can unc

i can buy 1

[west mist]

i have at least 2-300m in marked keys X_X

and i cant sell any of em

[odd gale]

I have 7 stacks of 55A1
I have 17 stacks of SSA AP
1 stack of m995

[tender oracle]

i used to lost in labs too until i just run it

[upbeat osprey]

yeah, if you can only buy 1 lab card I wouldn't run labs lol

[misty garnet]

you drop a dorm marked room for ya boy

[upbeat osprey]

go run interchange, loot all the 1 slot wonders

[fleet loom]

shturman and kaban drop labs access cards quite frequently

[odd gale]

Can't do that

[misty garnet]

okay

[west mist]

absolutely not, even if i could

[odd gale]

I would tbh

No need to hoard so many

[fleet loom]

and if u arent lvl 15 yet u should be farmin bosses or quests to get there

[misty garnet]

does it get destroyed if you try to drop

[odd gale]

Especially in pve where you can get loot blindfolded

[odd gale]

Yeah

[misty garnet]

ah

[west mist]

i am absolutely greedy and yes it gets poofed

loot blindfolded?

[median frigate]

Just open em

I only gut profit on 314 every time (2m +)

[tender oracle]

pve players stash is like a dragons nest

[upbeat osprey]

but ye, if you are broke a couple interchange runs can fix it

[odd gale]

314 really isn't the best anymore

[upbeat osprey]

people are still buying most of the interchange junk for a decent price

[misty garnet]

iaint got time i gotta scroll reals and die 12 times to goon squad while questing or sum

[manic pewter]

Id say VO has surpassed 314

[west mist]

i try to run reserve marked rooms and pkpts, usually net at least a near profit, and also crafting supplies galore

[odd gale]

Yeah it did

[upbeat osprey]

no goons on interchange

just stay away from killa, and check tagillas basement

[west mist]

VO is pretty solid indeed

[median frigate]

I am sherpaing for 3 friends rn its convienient if they have dorms quests

And 3 key cards every hit

[upbeat osprey]

it spawns intel docs nearly 100% of the time

[manic pewter]

Both are good now, VO is just better though

[misty garnet]

tagilla spawns on interchange never knew that

[odd gale]

Usually I just let whoever I raid with hit marked rooms that I have on me

I only ask for the ammo

[upbeat osprey]

there is a small maze-like area in the parking lot where he has a mancave

[west mist]

i have 9 docs cases just sitting around thanks to reserve keys X_X

[upbeat osprey]

spawns good ammo, intel docs, gpus, and other good loot

[fleet loom]

abandoned factory and rb-bk are my best paying marked rooms

[misty garnet]

oh that ive been in ther before never seen him tho

[tender oracle]

isnt he is also there 100% of the time too

[west mist]

always hit tagilla's mancave indeed

[median frigate]

Kinda opposite for me
I just need the keycards they can habe the rest

[upbeat osprey]

if he's not there, the loot is very valuable there

[odd gale]

Valid

[manic pewter]

Abandoned is very hit or miss for me, more so than 314

[west mist]

speakin of keycards

[upbeat osprey]

no he's not. I always check it when I run interchange and it's more like a 50/50

[west mist]

is 5 black 2 yellow any good?

[upbeat osprey]

depends also if you are playing local or BSG servers

[manic pewter]

Ye

[weary ice]

whats the best map for test drive 1

[misty garnet]

should i try to run my lest 9 uses of check 13

[weary ice]

with the sr25

[fleet loom]

90% of my abandoned runs there is a red, violet or black and an extra random card in the bookshelf + a taiga or rr

[odd gale]

I have three yellow two green two black one violet

[west mist]

a 50/50 where you can also run into him 10 runs in a row

[median frigate]

They get a btc like every second raid for money and since they cant flea the cards i argue its a fine trade off

[odd gale]

Honestly I don't care about the money

[misty garnet]

bruh

[upbeat osprey]

that be tarkov rng

[odd gale]

I have 15m on me currently

[weary ice]

whats the best map for test drive part 1 (sr25)

[west mist]

honestly i dont remember the last time he as not shown up in his mancave since the event

[median frigate]

I need 30mil for stash lvl 4

[misty garnet]

i did mine on factory

[odd gale]

And then stash value 101m

[weary ice]

alright

[odd gale]

I have unheard so

[upbeat osprey]

run interchange, shoot PMC around emercom extract or highway, and leave

[west mist]

but yeah, while i'm thinking on it, i have 3 blue 2 yellow 4 green 4 red and 5 black keycards

[tender oracle]

i have a full keycard case of black, green and red

[median frigate]

I only have roubles, no irl euros

[west mist]

also 12 blank RFI's

[odd gale]

Lmaooo valid

[misty garnet]

i have eod plus half way to maxing stash upgrades

and it still feels like i need more

[upbeat osprey]

I have EOD too, and sitting at 23mil now, although I spent a bunch just now for an item container

[odd gale]

I'm 100k xp away from mechanic lvl4

[jaunty hare]

Its never enough

[misty garnet]

i need more room

[odd gale]

I just bought more ammo containers

[upbeat osprey]

yeah, never hurts

[odd gale]

Currently I lack ammo in 5.45

[west mist]

i uhh, my stash is 10x124

[misty garnet]

i havent even gotten to half way down my stash and i need more

[median frigate]

Im at ~30mil rn but very fluctuating
If i hit maybe 40 or find the fuuu****** codfm i will upgrad the stash

[upbeat osprey]

I want to get to 40ish mil and then buy a sicc item container

[misty garnet]

my stash is bare af

[median frigate]

Sicc or thicc? xD

[west mist]

i would love to grab myself a S I C C, if only i was LEVEL FOURTY

[upbeat osprey]

but also close to solar power, so may spend a bunch on that

my bad, THICC

siccs tho I do want to buy a few more

1 for every map that has keys

[manic pewter]

I was starting to wonder, a sicc for 40m is a ripoff

[odd gale]

I just got mine from stray dogs

[upbeat osprey]

nah, 40m is so that I have a decent money buffer for running costs

[median frigate]

Im im raid rn, just picked up an aeasa phased array element xD

[upbeat osprey]

I don't want to run poor kits :P

[manic pewter]

At that price i hope you have some sort of consumer protection

[upbeat osprey]

dam, gz

so far I only found gpsa

[manic pewter]

Yellow is your friend

[misty garnet]

i got like 6 guns and 4 sets for raids that have ben thru 80 or 90 ish raids and are broken asf

[upbeat osprey]

I have them all

cards

[median frigate]

Dont need it tbh
But found all the stuff in yellow on labs, my last 2 upgrades are intel 3 and stash4

[manic pewter]

So run yellow, its damn cheap and gets a profit 95/100 times

[upbeat osprey]

well, I do need to finish the hideout upgrades

[manic pewter]

All i need is gear rack ans air filter

[upbeat osprey]

and for lvl3 btc farm you need the solar

[west mist]

yo guys get ready to rate my kit

[misty garnet]

you ever see a 98 out of 223 points bergalry

[west mist]

well, current kit

[manic pewter]

I got solar yesterday and instantly started on btc 3

[upbeat osprey]

yeah, my btc 3 is ready to go, just need solar

[misty garnet]

pricey

my whole stash pricey prob

[odd gale]

What map are you running

[west mist]

except some stuff on the Mk 16 it was all loot

and as for what map, usually reserve

[odd gale]

Are you gonna pop a mule

[misty garnet]

is a 36m rouble stash estimate good or nah

[odd gale]

Not bad

[west mist]

i loop from black pawn marked room, down to the basement, and then waddle towards the train station

and no, i cant buy mule's, so i do not pop them

[odd gale]

This is why I run labs

So many mules you can get

[manic pewter]

Remember to save a mule for samples

[odd gale]

For stim runs I do res green black blue

[upbeat osprey]

my bigger prob rn is I'm starved for m80

[west mist]

found 0 mules the 2 times i run labs

[misty garnet]

its probably gonna be 60m roubles once i get my 52 kits i spent today

[west mist]

should like, show me ya loop one of these days

[median frigate]

Tbh it doesnt matter
Just have enough money on hand to finance your weapons

[west mist]

i need to memorize the looping bits

[odd gale]

I can right now if you are down

[manic pewter]

Run marked rooms on reserve, with 1 or more M60s its guaranteed M80 for days

[pastel hull]

just got 300 my beloved m62 from pipeboy

[west mist]

i am absolutely too tired for that

[pastel hull]

i wish we can craft m62

[misty garnet]

i insure all my kits im a hoarder

[upbeat osprey]

yeah, probably should buy a key

[pastel hull]

so good for sniping

[west mist]

that's why i'm yappin here instead of playing

[odd gale]

Ping me or dm me whenever you are good

[upbeat osprey]

I do neet some mil tech loot too

[manic pewter]

Get VO if anything

Thats where i got all my AESAs

[median frigate]

Yh same
But i sell my weapons if they get under 90 durability and either rebuild or try something new

[upbeat osprey]

I insure my kits too, I prefer to run them down

[misty garnet]

ive had the same 10 backpacks since my 30th raid

[upbeat osprey]

but also I run stuff you can't replace easily

for example, CPC MOD.1 which BSG in their infinite wisdom put on Ref

[manic pewter]

I have like 40 backpacks in my stash (i have an issue)

[west mist]

i have 4 stacks of 7 large backpacks

[misty garnet]

t30s and trizips are for storage and throwaway backpacks

[upbeat osprey]

so all the CPCs I have to find somewhere

[willow tinsel]

good taste

[west mist]

and that's all i try to keep around

[manic pewter]

I see PMCs with em all the time

[upbeat osprey]

I used to see them a lot when I wiped, but now rarely

now I see PMCs in trash

[manic pewter]

I personally just take the plates as i prefer other vests

[misty garnet]

when will i see partisan again

[upbeat osprey]

well, can't do anything about vest preference. What's your preference?

[manic pewter]

AVS for instance

[willow tinsel]

I ran that rig since day 1

[misty garnet]

haven seen him since my 2nd raid

[upbeat osprey]

I used to like AVS, but I'm so sick of it by now :D

[west mist]

my fave armors are prob my thor, or a gen4/osprey mk4a

[willow tinsel]

the CPC that is

[upbeat osprey]

and can't get multicam version of it

[manic pewter]

Or i run the smaller THOR with an LBCR

[willow tinsel]

i want Multicam for it too

[misty garnet]

he used to be one of the biggest challanges in the game when i ran pvp and started pve

[jovial cobalt]

i used to really like thor but the no groin and neck protection got to me after some time
unless you mean the big thor

[manic pewter]

I do like the Korund a lot too

Even if its meh

[median frigate]

Running a gen4 hmk rn with lvl 6 plates

[west mist]

thor has neck?

[willow tinsel]

i swear if BP comees with multicam im dumping my money on that

[manic pewter]

THOR IC yes

[jovial cobalt]

im thinking of the concealable one then woops

[upbeat osprey]

are we thinking same THOR? THOR IC?

[jovial cobalt]

nop my bad

the thor that looks like paca

[upbeat osprey]

ah rip

yeah, I don't like most of those tbh

[west mist]

AND groin XD

[manic pewter]

Whatever the vest from the samurai code was, might honestly be my new favorite heavy vest

[upbeat osprey]

I like either a plate carrier rig, or IOTV/THOR IC

[manic pewter]

Fort Redut 5 or whatever

Better protection and its same weight as the THOR

[upbeat osprey]

yeah, the samurai vest looks pretty cool

[jovial cobalt]

i like the defender 2 or cpc mod 1 or 6b45

[west mist]

If my thorax neck and shoulders are armored I am 99% immortal

[obtuse crown]

anybody down to go for a big ol run and see if we can make it through all the bosses in one big long raid transiting and finding food and ammo and gear as we go?

[upbeat osprey]

my faves so far are cpc mod.1, JPC, TacTec 5.11

[manic pewter]

Unsure if the upper thigh flaps are modeled as armor, but its probably the only vest that has em

[upbeat osprey]

I will take an MMAC/Banshee if I'm down to absolute poverty

[willow tinsel]

not gonna risk to make amends again with LK

[manic pewter]

TV-110 is clean too

And for labs i run the ANA M1

[upbeat osprey]

I was planning smth like that with a friend, but just to survive all locations

[obtuse crown]

yeah nah i wasnt goin for zry i meant like kaban and kolontay and shit

[upbeat osprey]

snowball is also in the plans, but it's going to be a drag

[obtuse crown]

i hate dealin with zry

[willow tinsel]

ah ok

[median frigate]

Since cultist event i am free
Never poor again

[upbeat osprey]

ahahaha, I've missed that event

[obtuse crown]

he isnt the real issue either lmaooo its the goddamn mines they always manage to hit through a truck or some shit half the time hahahha

[upbeat osprey]

I do want to see those Black Division vests

[misty garnet]

i missed it to worst mistake in my life

[upbeat osprey]

they look dope, and stats/slots look dope

although my strength is not ready for it

[median frigate]

I regret not playing more tbh, only got like 20 marked keys, now withe the buff wished for more (didnt get every single one either)

[odd gale]

I lowk realized I just got on my pc for the first time today

[misty garnet]

i played it but only on pvp to help my friends who were level 30 and 45 to kill cultists cause somehow they were having a hard time and kept dying to cultists

[odd gale]

No way

[misty garnet]

earned 12 or 13 levels from helping them on pvp tho

[upbeat osprey]

I'll post my current loadout after I'm done pawning goon loot

[misty garnet]

was level 5

almost made me want to come out of retirement and go back to pvp

[astral kindle]

Ah i love tarkov, got tape for LK and i spawn behind WTP

[median frigate]

Is there any way to see stash value btw?

[misty garnet]

yeah

[astral kindle]

Overall stats

[misty garnet]

character overall

[median frigate]

Tarkov killed itself after raid again

[west mist]

Once spawned with a rusted bloodied key as scav, got gutshot by someone and starved right at an extract

[misty garnet]

havent played ts since 2019 and 2020 and a little of 2021

[median frigate]

Uh oh
Crashed twice on startup again
Wrong encryptions params

Time to verify game files
Else i have a problem

[upbeat osprey]

uhh, my current stash value is 125,982,312 :D

[west mist]

Could someone math my keys in screenshots, add a 314 and tell me the value plz? I'm tired AF

[misty garnet]

you guys rate my fit is it tuff or nah

[stone harbor]

priceless treasure

[misty garnet]

mm

[west mist]

Death shadow low-key makes ye look like a nerf player

[misty garnet]

thanks

[median frigate]

The tan supressor on a black build
Buddy is drowning xD

[misty garnet]

hey hey its all i could afford

[median frigate]

What lvl are you?

[misty garnet]

it says in the screenshot

[west mist]

30, is in the ss

I'm lvl 31 btw so pretty much same place as zero there

[misty garnet]

you got more money tho

[median frigate]

Damn im blind
But is that enough to get scopes?
Just curious bc i see many ppl rock the flip sight

[manic pewter]

@misty garnet idk if you saw but i gave some pointers in #weapon-modding

[misty garnet]

i did

[manic pewter]

40 is needed for LPVOs

[west mist]

I hunted cultists like they owed me money during the event

[upbeat osprey]

ok, here's the kit, more or less#screenshots message

plust something like lbt backpack

[misty garnet]

im still a little timmy i aint got my elite ball knowladge like i had in 2019 to 2020

[median frigate]

Damn
Now i know why i have like 4 parmesan backs stacked with just scopes

[west mist]

So you rather the mk 17 to the 16 then mercer?

[manic pewter]

I still grab scopes rather than paying 40k for a Vudu

[upbeat osprey]

tbh I could drop golen star since I don't even premed anymore

[odd gale]

Why do you run so many mags with not that much ammo

[upbeat osprey]

and if I'm going to premed it will probably be propital

so I can spend less time packing mags

[misty garnet]

i forgot how bad questing is

giving me grey hairs tryna get to lvl 35

[upbeat osprey]

also PvE got scav hordes ._.

on PvP I used to run ~3 spare mags

here I feel like I gotta run at least 5 extra

[west mist]

I should probably put a less massive flashlight on my Mk 16 yho

[odd gale]

Interesting

[misty garnet]

i have 6 extra mags

[odd gale]

I run 3-4 mags with two stacks of ammo

[upbeat osprey]

well, think about it: mags are worthless, you can pack them beforehand, and you can throw them away if you need room

[west mist]

To be fair I just run 2x 60 round mags plus the one in my gun

[upbeat osprey]

and at the start of the raid you are not pressed for space

just means you don't have to pack after every gunfight

[west mist]

I rarely reload once in a raid

Let alone twice

[upbeat osprey]

yeah, 60 rounders are valid too

[misty garnet]

i usally run 9 mags on factory cause i like to clean the whole place for xp when im like 10k or 5k xp from a level up

[upbeat osprey]

I just don't like the idea of high feed failure

and I do like more "realistic" kit

[manic pewter]

I wish the 6L31 fit in the NL tbh

[upbeat osprey]

so mags that would actually fit in my rigs :D

[west mist]

I have had like 2 jams in the last 15 or so raids

[manic pewter]

Im not a big fan of drums

[west mist]

And that's including the gun being at like 85 dura

[manic pewter]

They look good on one gun, and thats the MG3

[upbeat osprey]

I get quite a few jams when I run spear sadly

(not that it can take drums)

[manic pewter]

It can

[upbeat osprey]

but it's more so the consequence of not being able to buy fresh spears

ah right, it can take SA ones, can't it

[west mist]

Just run the mk 16 like I have it, except the flashlight, change that thing out for the love of all that is holy

[odd gale]

That's why

[upbeat osprey]

yeah, I run my spears to ~80 dura repaired

[odd gale]

I do 90

[upbeat osprey]

I would if I had a steady supply

[west mist]

You do not need THE SUN™ on the mk 16 unless you are running cultists

[manic pewter]

Spears are relatively easy to replace imo, model 1 however...

[odd gale]

I just run M4's

[upbeat osprey]

just p2w with arena :D

[median frigate]

Yh same
My test drive ak12 got to 89 whilst fighting the goons and jammed
Was pretty intense

[manic pewter]

I have maxxed out arena

[upbeat osprey]

but yeah, model 1 has been a source for my frustration

[manic pewter]

Sweat, money and tears

Mostly money, very little tears

[upbeat osprey]

I refuse to buy or play arena, so can't have it

nor the better ULACHs

[west mist]

Any pointers, besides the flashlight/scope that anyone might have for my Mk 16?

It's still down in weapon modding

[odd gale]

One sec Ill check it out

[manic pewter]

I kinda wish I bought the premium pass for the THOR and the better ULACHs with the more proper NVG mount but the one i have is fine too

[upbeat osprey]

I'll post a build I run in screenshots

here you go #screenshots message

it's not the meta/chad/maxxed build, but it does the job for me

[west mist]

I will ree at you, for yours is a 17

And mine is a 16

[upbeat osprey]

same thing

they take same mods

[west mist]

Different caliber

[manic pewter]

BMD A3 muzzle

[upbeat osprey]

there is similar PRS CQD for 5 cal

[manic pewter]

Or is that the 7.62 one

It might be actually

Uhhh

[odd gale]

Different muzzle

[upbeat osprey]

you can mostly just copy it

[odd gale]

I would do different foregrip

[manic pewter]

You know the muzzle on the NL545? Use that one

Id also use a different PEQ but thats just preference

[median frigate]

just put my kit here (#screenshots message) too

the backpack stuff is in my secure container tho, just up there for display

[upbeat osprey]

you can slap on whatever suppressor really, I run "old meta" one because now it's cheaper and I like its stats

[misty garnet]

fixed the kit

[upbeat osprey]

the rest of the parts are fine

laser/flashlight is also personal pref, I like peqs

[fallow pivot]

anybody else have the problem, if u scav in pve, after that i killed a bear (which i didn´t kill) and all my loot is gone (just the things i had with which the scav started are there) when i transfer these items, they´re also not transfered and i get a movement error msg. this was on lighthouse, happened now two times.

did update everything, cleared cache and did the integrity check.

[upbeat osprey]

for my build you can also use russian foregrips as they give more recoil reduction

I just don't because "realism"

stock can also be swapped to one of the skeleton ones if you want to get rid of minor overswing

but tbh building weapons now is not rocket science

[manic pewter]

SE-5 is probably the best to run, but it aint the best looking

[misty garnet]

i got bad scav rep ngl

1.63

i m cooked

[upbeat osprey]

for the most part you just want more ergo, less weight, more recoil reduction (if the gun kicks a lot)

MOA is important if you plan on shooting far

[manic pewter]

The AFG is a good looking horizontal grip

[odd gale]

Let me show you guys what I run

[upbeat osprey]

yeah, with the recent attachment stat squish you have a lot of choice

you will be missing maybe 1% recoil or just a couple ergo between top options

just find a grip you like for max ergo, and one for max recoil control, and use those

[misty garnet]

@median frigate its funny seeing that high of a kd ngl

[upbeat osprey]

stocks usually can'g go wrong with ARE -> CTR

grips F1 St2

is probably the best, or the old ergo

BMD is actually not that good anymore

besides looking kinda silly, it's damn heavy

(so can cause overswing if you don't have enough ergo)

RED muzzle is probably the best now

for unsuppressed

[odd gale]

Check weapon modding

[median frigate]

yh mostly scavs tho
its ~1800 scavs, ~600 pmcs and ~150 bosses
ever since i started running lvl 6 plates i only died like 7 times

[misty garnet]

you make me feel like i aint killing enough ngl

842 scavs 282 pmcs 27 bosses

[odd gale]

I always kill

You never know what a scav has

[manic pewter]

Boat has arrived, time to go

[misty garnet]

i also run the smaller maps

[raw nest]

@median frigate 67

[median frigate]

remember its a long way from lvl 30 to 40, lots of xp
and i also did lots of ground zero for jaeger bolty quests, which were around 10-20 scavs per raid

[upbeat osprey]

yeah, they all look pretty solid in #weapon-modding

[misty garnet]

and streets is giving me a run for my money

[median frigate]

i flinched like a abused dog when i read this

just imagine me hurling a variety of words which would result in a server ban in your direction

[misty garnet]

tbh 67 didnt even come across my mind

[upbeat osprey]

tbh I don't even run face masks in pve

[raw nest]

You need to get your number up to 69

[odd gale]

I don't run anything

[median frigate]

i will go out of my way to kill 55 scavs now just to get to 69

[misty garnet]

ive heard my cousins and my friends say it to much

[odd gale]

Tac rig and a bag

[upbeat osprey]

AI rarely goes for the face hitbox these days thankfully

[odd gale]

If I die I die

Ill get it back

[misty garnet]

real chad activities

[median frigate]

Goons be like ...

[odd gale]

Only annoying goon to deal with is birdeye

[upbeat osprey]

if you are fighting goons in the open, that's your first mistake :D

[odd gale]

Only because he's a little bitch

And also he runs op ammo

[upbeat osprey]

they are all bitchmade as soon as there's a doorway

[misty garnet]

i mustve been lucky he was running 308 me i tanked that shi

[odd gale]

I faught him and he was running M80A1

Luckily he didn't decide to body tap me

[upbeat osprey]

I wish he was for me

it's damn BCP FMJ most of the time

[misty garnet]

i tanked 13 bullets from him i walked his ahh down

[median frigate]

we were walking to extract on ruaf roadblock and one of my friends just got his dome caved in by birdeye out of the blue xD
no noise no nothing

[odd gale]

I do not think I can tank 73dmg and 60 pen

[misty garnet]

on customs yesterday

[upbeat osprey]

strategic mistake, you have assumed you can walk through an open area with no cover :P

[odd gale]

They are on all maps they spawn in

[upbeat osprey]

that specific area on shore is dreadful

it should terrify you

[misty garnet]

the only boy that scares me is the fat man in streets and kollontay

[odd gale]

Fat man is only scary bc of low fps and guards

[misty garnet]

kaban

[tawdry wren]

anyone else getting error 213 ?

[median frigate]

got loads of m61 from knight

[misty garnet]

yeah

[mighty coral]

Guys, did this patch make it possible to use a 50-round mag on the SPEAR?”

[odd gale]

I dogged walked him during the event

[tawdry wren]

its been possible

[median frigate]

more xp and loot for me xD

[misty garnet]

killa is pretty easy its nly when he catches you by surprise

[manic pewter]

It was always possible

[odd gale]

My friend he kills higm all the time

Because he acts dumb

[mighty coral]

[odd gale]

Legit let my friend mag dump his legs

While he's full on hunting me down

[median frigate]

literally almost one tenth of my deaths is to gus nading me while healing

[odd gale]

Real

[misty garnet]

i killed killa while i was trying to loot oli cash registers

[odd gale]

I thought you meant while he was looting them lmao

[misty garnet]

enough ps gs will kill anything

nl545 di saved me that day

[median frigate]

tbh killa is the only boss I respect
his faceshield is just plain annoying

[upbeat osprey]

killa only kills when you turn a corner on him squatting behind some junk

or try to peak him repeatedly

[tawdry wren]

are servers shutting down for maintenance

[median frigate]

he is probably the reson for 1/4th of my deaths because he surprised my whilst questing when i was lvl 15 +-5

[odd gale]

God dude I love Lady gagsa she makes such good music

[odd gale]

Never peak bosses from the same angle

[misty garnet]

tagilla makes that mistake trying to peak me

[odd gale]

He's the only one you can do that too

I really wish they made the ai harder or give you the option to

[median frigate]

bold of you to assume i wouldnt ego peak the goons or bosses
thats why i fear Killa

[misty garnet]

its like a dream seeing him peak me on 3rd floor

[median frigate]

factory tagilla is at least remotely menacing
interchange tagilla just eats it like a good boy

[odd gale]

Tagilla is so easy to kill

[misty garnet]

never met him on interchange might have to try it

[misty garnet]

tagilla is probably 3rd easiest boss

[odd gale]

2nd

Reshala is the 1st

[misty garnet]

partisan 1st

[odd gale]

If you don't know where he is

[median frigate]

tagillas hideout is your best friend for gpus / bronze lions / metal cables / tetriz

[odd gale]

I think they both hold that space

[misty garnet]

never really mess with reshala

[odd gale]

He's so easy

His guards are harder only because the amount of grenades they throw

[misty garnet]

he just a nuisance when im tryina do my customs quests

im more worried abt turning a corner and seeing goon squad sitting like a firing squad

[median frigate]

for me its (interchange tagilla) | reshala and shturman | normal tagilla | parmesan | sanitar gluhar and kaban share a place | hardest is kollontay / killa / goons

[upbeat osprey]

exactly, that's just asking to get domed

[misty garnet]

now that i think about it for me i havent seen gluhar or that zryachi or sum guy

[median frigate]

zryachi is the only boss i havent killed tbh

[upbeat osprey]

tbh I still don't know where he was even when I do kill him

[cinder minnow]

whats best way to get lvls fast

[odd gale]

Yeah

[upbeat osprey]

I usually find out I have killed partisan after raid

[odd gale]

I was doing car extract next to dorms

[misty garnet]

idk quest or sum

[odd gale]

And he legit sprayed me for a good minute before I killed him

I didn't even get hurt

Scared the shit out of me

[cinder minnow]

also what is % for car not to spawn

[upbeat osprey]

partisan is like killa in some respects. By which I mean he is the easiest until you turn a corner on him sitting with his gun at the ready

[misty garnet]

idk im in flow state right now im fried from all the raids ive been doin

[median frigate]

bro there are like 10 cars?
maybe check the wiki for that one

[misty garnet]

50/50

i usally get them each raid

still got bad scav rep

[median frigate]

is snowball workign or still bugged?

[upbeat osprey]

dam, tarkov is really bad in menus...

the stutter/freezes are killing me :(

[misty garnet]

try playing on a rx 7600 and ryzen 5 7600

[upbeat osprey]

yeah.... pc upgrade is out of question :D

[median frigate]

Played streets on my gfs pc before the update
R7 7700, 32gb ddr5 and rtx 4070 ti super
Sometimes 40 fps
I am curious on the performance after the update

[upbeat osprey]

not in the current economy

[misty garnet]

i cant even afford a mouse pad ngl

[upbeat osprey]

tbh this

I'm just happy when I have enough cash for a pizza after all the expenses

[night echo]

@raw nest can u help me ensure access to the labs?

[odd gale]

Do you need help rn?

[night echo]

Na im in school

[misty garnet]

w ngl i spent the last of my money on making a 10 pound lasagna i ate 5 pounds of it

tryna bulk not going well

still thin as a straw

[odd gale]

Just

Eat more meals

[misty garnet]

a light breeze can make me fly

[upbeat osprey]

bro, fyi if you are in the US dominos has $10 pizzas with up to 7 toppings

that shit is goated

goes away soon-ish sadly

[misty garnet]

176.35 pounds 5'8

[odd gale]

That's not bad??

[upbeat osprey]

that's even on a heavier side

[odd gale]

Yeah

[misty garnet]

idk it feels small to me mostly cause of my dads build

[odd gale]

I'm the same height just 10 more pounds on you

[upbeat osprey]

I've let myself go and I'm ~180 at 5'11

[odd oak]

Don’t I need to learn lighthouse alot bc of debtor ending

[jovial cobalt]

[odd oak]

Ok thanks

[misty garnet]

that mf built like a gorilla hes 6'3 285

[jovial cobalt]

i like lighthouse now tbh from it

[upbeat osprey]

whoah, at 6'3 that sounds reasonable

esp if it's all muscle

found tagilla irl

[misty garnet]

got my moms genes or sum im lucky to be 5.8 i could've been 5'1

[odd gale]

Both my parents are "short"

[upbeat osprey]

I'm sorry for you all, brothers

it's rough being short

[misty garnet]

if you think my dads big my uncle joey is killa at 6'4 310 but he is a little more fat

[mossy blade]

im 5"4 bruh

And my max is 5"5

[upbeat osprey]

meanwhile, mf CAPS are 44k on the flea

go loot the damn interchange if you are broke :P

[odd gale]

My dad is 5'4 my mom 5'7

[mossy blade]

my dad is 5"6 and my mom is 5"1 bro

[misty garnet]

damn i feal for you

[mossy blade]

My max is 5"6

[misty garnet]

ill send you some shoe inserts

[mossy blade]

And I also got my first F in my career today

Its the worst fucking day

[misty garnet]

with my last 19 bucks

[mossy blade]

I failed 1 exam and its just the start of the day

[misty garnet]

working in a lumber yard aint paying me enough gotta go to college or sum

out hear paying me in twix and snicker bars

[upbeat osprey]

eh, if I worked out more and worked on my posture I'd be 6' :D

[odd gale]

I couldn't work in a lumb mill

[misty garnet]

take the price of 10 family size twix bars from michgan and thats my hourly wage

[upbeat osprey]

I maybe could work that, but probably not. Spent one too many years doing a desk job

would take half a year to get fit enough again for that

[odd gale]

ehh

[upbeat osprey]

I did some demolition last summer, it was pretty hellish

[odd gale]

It's all mainly machines

I think

[upbeat osprey]

a lot of bending and squatting, and you have to carry out shit like broken tile

fuck broken tile

[misty garnet]

the only time i dont have to work is deer season wich everyone doesnt have to work during that time cause they all take sick

[odd gale]

Lol

[misty garnet]

trying to live to see my new 7mm-08 kill its first deer

[upbeat osprey]

sounds like fun

[misty garnet]

finally got off the 30-30 probably still gonna use it just cause its been my gun since i was 7

16 years with her

[upbeat osprey]

lol, scavvy bois brought me 2 ronins

[raw nest]

Yea just need like 20min

[odd oak]

To get the dspt do I have to do all of those quests or just one

[raw nest]

Imagine the gamble for me my dad being 6’6 and mom 5’4

[odd oak]

For network 1

[jovial cobalt]

key to the tower, knock-knock, getting acquainted

ye you gotta go past network provider and all

[upbeat osprey]

if you plan on doing snowball, do that before dspt

[odd oak]

To get to network provider the wiki shows a shit ton of quests do I have to do one or all of those

[jovial cobalt]

network provider then assessment then these quests

[upbeat osprey]

or farming zryachi

[odd oak]

Ima have to learn how to bait the mines then

[upbeat osprey]

yeah, it's a whole process

[odd oak]

I’ll look up a video

[upbeat osprey]

but definitely don't want to redo dspt :D

[odd oak]

Yeah I saw the recraft of it

[astral kindle]

Redoing dspt after shooting zrych isn't that bad

[upbeat osprey]

I myself plan to farm ~9 or so of his masks and then do snowball before dspt

[jovial cobalt]

have you got the armored case yet

[upbeat osprey]

it's not too bad, but you could also just not have to do it

[odd oak]

No

[jovial cobalt]

from fallen skies

[jovial cobalt]

in fallen skies if you give the armored case to prapor you will get network provider 1 without doing all of the other prereq side quests

[odd oak]

Will that block me from debtor

[jovial cobalt]

alternatively the same thing in batya story chapter but you need intel center 3 before it gives network provider

[jovial cobalt]

and no sir that is what ive done for my run rn and im doing debtor

[odd oak]

Ohh ok thanks

Time to do fallen skies

[jovial cobalt]

giving the armored case to prapor makes you do extra shit before you can proceed in the main story but i thought it was worth it since i needed to meet LK for debtor anyways, so

[odd oak]

Idk I like the grind

So I rather it take extra time

[jovial cobalt]

then it'll be fine ye

like i've crafted the first non-workign terminal access card and im at 159 pmc raids

not toooo many i guess and im getting closer to terminal

with scav spawned with an m4

seems rare

[odd oak]

Idk

I had one with a m4 once during the event I thought it was a event thing I didn’t question it

[cinder minnow]

this dosnt feel like 50:50 more like 10% bro i had 10 no cars in a row

[upbeat osprey]

I have been ignoring story quests for a loooong time

[gusty whale]

See I figured I'd do batya to get light keeper that way, then completely forgot I had to get Intel 3 for that

[odd oak]

0.5 moa is good right?

[upbeat osprey]

there's just not much reason to do story unless you want to go do terminal

[upbeat osprey]

yes, quite good

[odd oak]

Ima go snipe zrychia that’s why im asking

[green imp]

нужна помощь в прохождении терминал

[upbeat osprey]

it should be sufficient to headshot him reliably

can you co-op terminal actually?

[odd oak]

7.62x54 ps is good enough?

[gusty whale]

Ye

[upbeat osprey]

huh, neat

[gusty whale]

Not really

[upbeat osprey]

do all people need access pass?

[odd oak]

Lps?

[upbeat osprey]

or just the leader

[gusty whale]

Yeah

[upbeat osprey]

ah, rip

[gusty whale]

No, sec ill check if any x54 ammo works

[upbeat osprey]

I'd do terminal for funs and shiggles, but not doing questline yet for the pass

[gusty whale]

No 762x54r ammo works well for zyriachi, all too low damage

[upbeat osprey]

just do a 7.62x51

[gusty whale]

Yeah easier just to do it gradually

[upbeat osprey]

or lapua

[gusty whale]

762x51 doesn't either, 338/50 bmg I think are only ones

Tac-X for 338, or HP, M21 or M33 for 50 BMG are only ones which 1 hit headshot

If you don't 1 hit headshot, high chance he'll just 1 tap you back

[odd oak]

I don’t have any 338 snipers

[raw nest]

Yes

[upbeat osprey]

well, his head is not armored iirc

so you could use a more fleshier round

[raw nest]

175HP

[gusty whale]

Yes, but it has 175 HP, so only those 4 bullets can kill him at range

[upbeat osprey]

you don't need to one-tap, but you definitely benefit from doing so

what's the distance to him usually?

from the bridge

~100m?

[gusty whale]

If you don't 1 tap him, VERY high chance he (or guards) 1 taps you, but no, you don't have to 1 tap him if you're fast

[upbeat osprey]

at 100-150m only TAC-X can do it, or some of the .50 BMG

[gusty whale]

Which is why I said those

[upbeat osprey]

you could also just go some DMR and 2 tap

just be quick about it

or go for shooting through the gate 20 times hoping to pen

he won't shoot back because AI doesn't know it can pen cover

actually, maybe a bipod mdr/sa could work too

just burst him with good optic

[gusty whale]

That's the only real way to do it without tac-x or .50 bmg

[upbeat osprey]

yeah

well, I can see you being able to burst him if you can get a good MOA on one of the 7.61 bois

[gusty whale]

Even then have to be very careful of guards and their spawn locations

[upbeat osprey]

oh yeah

nobody said it's easy :P

there is a reason his mask is what on the flea? 1 mil?

[odd oak]

Weird idea

What about me lokt

[raw nest]

3tap at best

[gusty whale]

Below 180m it should 2 tap, but unless you're on the bridge, you're likely >200m away

[odd oak]

What’s the best way to get a 338 sniper

[gusty whale]

Huntsman path - crooked cop probably

[odd oak]

Could I farm birdeye for his

[gusty whale]

Or stray dogs quest, or yeah, birdeye

[odd oak]

Hmm time to farm goons and fallen skies and a million more things

I want him dead

[gusty whale]

I'm guessing you don't have access to the island

[upbeat osprey]

man, god bless the AI PMCs

mfs going into raid at level 56 with no body armor on

don't farm birdeye

it's pain and suffering

and hours of wasted time

you will be done with the mjolnir quest well before that

unless rngesus favors you

I've been farming goons for a while now for the drum GL and I've seen birdeye tote the lapua magnum sniper 1 time

[odd oak]

I have great luck with luck bc I have like 5 black cards rn

Not even finished with tour

[upbeat osprey]

then maybe, but it's scuffed

20 raids today, 1 goons

35% my ass

[odd oak]

I think im a little weird bc I like lighthouse and I don’t like reserve

4 goons encounters for me

2 I ran from 1 died 1 they died

[gusty whale]

Fastest is doing huntsman path crooked cop, min lvl 23 to complete

[odd oak]

10 ish raids

[upbeat osprey]

but yeah, you'll kill him only to see a m4a1 with bipod :D

[odd oak]

I found a fucked up a m4 once

Watching some lore videos on Tarkov now

[upbeat osprey]

jesus, now that was a close encounter with goons

turned a stairwell on all 3

front plate is gone :D

still no GL :S

[odd oak]

I sold mine

Didn’t want it

[onyx depot]

#screenshots message

Suggestions?

[upbeat osprey]

I want 1

welp, another damn mescalero off birdeye

and jackshit from the rest

boys had a mutant and an mcx
