AHA

#

sorry

buoyant mason
#

Yeah they offer a follow up quest to regain the rep

#

Restart your game and it’ll appear, a handful of keys for therapist and 10 m67 grenades for prapsy wapsy

oblique ruin
#

they nerfed bedroom key

unknown.png
#

they just did this

#

like right now

#

i checked bedroom like an hour ago it was normal

crystal oracle
#

Nice little scav raid. Killed a PMC with some stacked gear :P

#

My m8 took some of his stuff tho so this is all I got

quasi raft
#

does anyone have the rb-0rb3 key for inventory check and willing to help me complete it? (eu)

bold kernel
#

Hey, who do you guys recommend watching if I want to learn interchange? By learn I mean like how to pvp around it, etc

misty ginkgo
fathom ocean
#

it kind of is because he can learn hot spots

buoyant mason
#

Best way is to run it and just pay attention to where you get engaged, have a good idea where folk infill from and just follow/avoid the gunshots as you wanna do so

flat bone
#

i got a operating key for lighthouse

#

anyone know what its worth?

#

0 on the flee

obtuse shoal
#

it’s good

#

very good

flat bone
#

how you know

stuck furnace
#

as a fast paced cod, apex player.....how do i get the tarkov mindset

flat bone
#

@stuck furnace play like a pssy

#

hold angels

fathom ocean
#

angels

flat bone
#

just run if you think your out gunned or numberd

stuck furnace
#

I see, thank you

hardy rain
#

how do i get peacekeeper rep when he never has tasks

flat bone
#

you gotta do skier tasks

#

at some point you will get friend from the west part 1 and 2

#

do those and peacekeeper gets unlocked

hardy rain
#

ok cause im stuck at .20 rep and cant get lvl 3

flat bone
#

you gotta do them skier quests

hardy rain
#

sad makes me do customs

#

oh wait no i can never do those tasks

#

the skier quest has been camped by jackwads every day this week

flat bone
#

what is the quest

hardy rain
#

even my sherpa trying to help kept getting domed trying to open it for me

#

extortionist

flat bone
#

just go night camp for 20 mins

#

go last few mins of the raid

#

should be good to go

#

very boring tho

hardy rain
#

yea ive tried taht too. mega chads with thermals always 1 tap me

#

cost me 2 mill worth of gear just to do bigsale

#

personally i feel no tasks before level 30 should require you to do every part of it and exfil alive in 1 run. its a bit bullcorn to expect lvl 5 players to do that in their first week

nocturne lintel
#

most dont

#

before like level 11

hardy rain
#

it was hyperbole XD

buoyant mason
#

Interchange is just about familiarity, you can get those stores and be out without shooting if you’re able to predict where other folks will be

hardy rain
#

yea i thought that at first so i camped under the escalator that leads in from the garage... 10 min left after sitting still watching youtube for 35 min or so i went up to meet a 5 man chat group that had sat there the entire game and opened up on me like i was a can of beans

buoyant mason
#

They were probably just on their way out or something, sad timing 🥲

hardy rain
#

nah i had headphones

#

i periodically heard glass crunching every few min

#

just thought it was scavs

#

i was so wrong

#

every time stuff like that happens i just sing the song of my people "jesus hates me this i know for the bible tells me so"

#

it makes the chads laugh

buoyant mason
#

Lmao, as a mall enjoyer I’d laugh too

oak smelt
#

I have a thermal reflex sight, yet in my shooting range (whether dark or light or night vision) I can't see anything through it. How do I get it to work?

misty ginkgo
brittle canyon
#

it’s hillariously trash tho

#

only use it as a spotter, if you see red switch to real sight and scan the area

The bulb

oak smelt
#

yeah it gives 2 tiny red dots

misty ginkgo
#

That’s the hot thing my guy

#

What you can see on thermal

oak smelt
#

which turns into the question; how do human figures turn out looking like?

And are there better thermal scopes (4x etc), perhaps mixed with night vision in it?

dawn geyser
#

I hope you didn't have high hopes for a 50k thermal

oak smelt

... Im just asking for information

Anyone can tell me if the operating room key = water treatment plant storage room key someone said it renamed ? i can't find any operating room key at all

^^

dim flint
#

ok ill try that thank you

buoyant mason
#

Good luck they’re all either labs cards, armbands or stupidly expensive stuff

dim flint
#

guessing its not worth it for a quest right lol

buoyant mason
#

It’ll just be hard to get hold of one

#

Not a fan of BSG locking early quests behind doors that realistically speaking you have a very low chance of ever being able to open

opaque vine
crystal oracle
#

Wait I used a flare, how long does it take for airdrops to come in?

opaque vine
#

What color flare did you use?

crystal oracle
#

Red

opaque vine
#

Usually it only takes a few seconds, under a minute to hear the plane

crystal oracle
#

Cos when I used it there was no flare

opaque vine
#

Otherwise I imagine someone else in the raid has already called one in

#

hmm

#

Idk you should've at least seen the flare in the sky

crystal oracle
#

I went into an offline raid

dawn geyser
crystal oracle
#

Oh wait do you shoot it in the air#

dawn geyser
#

Instantly up to 10 minutes

glacial onyx
#

any tips to find the goons on offline coop mode?

dawn geyser
#

Yes up in the air

crystal oracle
#

Bruh

#

I shot it at the ground 💀

LOL

opaque vine

that's why lmfaooo

lmaoo

so you only have 5% chance of running into htem

I used it and I shot it in the air

lusty glacier

severe bison

best server for tasks?

buoyant mason
#

Whatever is off-peak for you, depends where you live really

bold kernel
#

what do i sell to get more room?

severe bison
#

Israel

#

i went to Israel server nobody plays there but now its timed out

buoyant mason
#

Oh jeez, 110% not sure, usually just base it off it being awkward times for the server you’re trying to connect to

severe bison
#

so it send me to some other server

next latch
#

I need help to do the SBH

bold kernel
#

Anyone want to play with me?

crystal oracle

crystal oracle

thats stupid smh

crystal oracle

oi oi oi... any labs gamers here?

dunno where else to ask

dawn geyser
silent cedar
#

after 2000 h of ingame time and hunting shturman for 2 days straight with that shit scope of jaeger i finally killed him and to my suprise he had a red key card

#

does anyone know for how much it sells

#

I am solo only sorry :c

dawn geyser
#

Oh I thought you were asking to pair up is why I asked

#

lol

silent cedar
#

ney sry :c I asked for labs gamers because I assume they would know the prices of the keycards

gleaming cipher
#

Do flash drives only spawn in certain safes? I've done this one run on reserver like 15 times and looted 40 safes and no flash drives

crystal oracle
#

NO WAY

#

HOLY FUCK

silent cedar
crystal oracle
#

Your lucky

crystal oracle

Ive done 125 raids

#

not a single flash drive

#

Do a filter by item

to see if they are on there

silent cedar
crystal oracle

cos when I looked they wernt

crystal oracle
silent cedar
#

wait lemme search the map

#

In black knight and white knight... Nobody seems to loot the cabinets... I found 3 intels in those... but the chances are very low it seems

unknown.png
#

I found mine there

#

Sadly it's random... so you either find them or don't but they do definetly spawn in those cabinets

#

AFAIK

#

Good luck!

crystal oracle
#

Okay tyty

stuck furnace
#

so like, lets say youre trash af at this game and you lost like everything.....whats a good way to get stuff lmao

opaque granite
dusty wind
#

pretty tricky tho

stuck furnace
#

should i prioritize valuable items for money or good gear

dusty wind
#

but if you can take out the rogues at those towers at the front of the camp you can loot them and dip and get some nice guns

#

whatever you can get really

#

lets say yourr backpack was full

#

and it was between some valuable loot or a good weapon

#

i would take the loot

#

but its really down to what your in need of at the time imo

crystal oracle
stuck furnace
#

thank you very much

#

this games learning curve is massive

crystal oracle
#

Yep

#

It sure is

dusty wind
#

it also helps to have buddies to play with. though you would then be splitting loot it pays to have extra support

#

also stops you from wanting to tear your eyes out after getting killed for the 10th time

crystal oracle
#

Ikr xd

#

Ive died so many times to bs and Ive wanted to stop playing

dusty wind
#

yup

#

literally happened to me earlier

crystal oracle
#

Welp time to do reserve scav to find flash drives

dusty wind
#

the only thing from stopping me jumping of a roof yesterday was the fact that i was in a duo with a mate

crystal oracle
#

Yeah I normally run duo with my m8 aswell

#

But we just do quests etc

stuck furnace
#

the flea market looks like a nice place to unlock tbh

dawn geyser
dusty wind
#

im getting close to unlocking it now

#

ive got a nearly full junk box of stuff ive been waiting to sell on flea market so i can buy some sweet sweet keys

stuck furnace
#

i assume keys lead to places with nice loot?

dusty wind
#

some do yes

#

marked rooms can be good

#

but sometimes they literally have junk in them

lusty glacier
#

sometimes they literally lead to doors that are always unlocked

dusty wind
#

im looking to get some keys and hit health resort soon

#

first i gotta get good tho which is easier said than done

stuck furnace
#

i have a fear of taking good stuff into a raid and losing it lmao

dusty wind
#

dont

#

the game wipes every 6 months

#

your guarenteed to lose it anyway

#

my tip is if your gonna bring good gear go all out. the better the gear the easier it is to survive the fights

stuck furnace
#

makes sense

#

cheers

bought it and cried

What is the best map to get better loot i have been playing customs but it is just a bit to hard i have tried woods but it is just woods and i get lost easily

mellow plinth

Idk man

dawn geyser

i play alot of factory

dawn geyser

No wonder you cry.

woods is alright and consistent

i do not like customs loot

#

yes it is me

surreal barn

mr bad sleep schedule

crystal oracle

Woods/customs is the best starting map imo

mellow plinth
#

thats why i joined cuz i am scared

mint light
mellow plinth

got no friends that play this game

mint light
mellow plinth
#

okay trhank u

mint light
#

plenty of homies willing to help

mellow plinth
#

why what is wrong with factory..

mint light
mellow plinth
#

aww

mint light
#

just either dying or killing naked people

mellow plinth
#

but big map scary

mint light
#

big map is where the game is

mellow plinth
#

yeah but

mint light
#

factory is the “i want to dick around” map

mellow plinth
#

ive gotten sniped out of no where

mint light
#

because ur positioning is bad

mellow plinth
#

and then ran into scav bosses out of no where

#

crazy

lusty glacier
#

gotta get sniped out of nowhere to learn where to not get sniped

mint light
#

with good positioning you rarely get sniped from “no where”

mellow plinth
#

Man

#

u right

lusty glacier
#

you should take a map like mapgenie and look at where the player spawns are

mellow plinth
#

okay ima try to play customs with an ak u

lusty glacier
#

once you know the important locations that people go to for quests and/or loot then you can figure out where those players move to after they spawn

mellow plinth
#

the mini ak

#

but what if i need to go to those places too..

dusty wind
#

another day another round where i instantly get head eyed by a scav i cant see

#

damn i love woods so much

mint light
#

learn the maps offline imo. no risk

mellow plinth
#

u like woods

#

i do play offline i just get anxiety

mint light
#

no normal person likes woods

#

shitty crab map

mellow plinth
#

I like woods.

#

it is nice

mint light

dusty wind
#

i like hidden caches on woods

lusty glacier
mint light
#

i judge a map on if its pvp is good, not its loot

dusty wind
#

i dont like getting shot by broken ai i cant see

#

like scavs are just civillians am i not wrong?

#

so how do they have aim on par with rogues

#

how can i survive in reserve?
i need some guidance..

#

best way to learn is probably play solo, kill everything that move around you. read map, watch guide. took maybe 1 wipe and you be set good for the game. try eliminate gear fear and scav run to balance .

surreal barn
mint light
#

do u know the map?

surreal barn
#

from scav runs

mellow plinth
#

ive gotten gunned down

no reason to go woods

Finally completed signal part 2

solo que, go to hot spot and snipe. don't rush anything

very doable

buoyant mason
#

My enjoyment comes from making money not PVP, definitely doable kekw

stuck furnace
#

can we talk about how hard it is to aim in this game

#

like ong

buoyant mason
#

Is it?😅 in what way?😅

stuck furnace
#

like every way

#

everything just feels off

#

like im drunk and playing bear pong

#

beer*

buoyant mason
#

Can’t say I’ve had many issues to be fair, the recoil control is a bit to get used to sometimes but other than that it’s fine here

dawn geyser
stuck furnace
#

heh

#

maybe im moving too much when im shooting?? idk

#

strafing like its cod

buoyant mason
#

They did tweak that a while ago, strafing really won’t help much

dawn geyser
#

Strafing and shooting is still bad when ADSing

#

Pointfiring not so much

buoyant mason
#

Especially with the inertia changes, you’re probably doing yourself more harm than good, although as red name says, hop fire is pretty much a constant no matter what

stuck furnace
#

so its recommended to move as little as possible when firing?

dawn geyser
#

If you want minimum reticle bob you don't really want to be moving

#

Unless you're CQB

buoyant mason
#

If you have the drop on someone ideally crouch then shoot, nullifies a lot of recoil

dawn geyser
#

Just pointfire

stuck furnace
#

got you

dawn geyser
#

Yeah you'll see some more experienced peeps

#

When they get caught out

#

Without cover

#

Instead of moving and shooting

#

They plant, crouch

#

And just try to outshoot

#

Tons of scenarios though

buoyant mason
#

Or do what I do, have prone mapped to your mouse and use it at all opportunities PE_PandaNerd

dawn geyser
stuck furnace
#

i really thought i could go in and come out alive in all my raids

“Is that a bag or someone prone in the middle of the hallway”
That person is usually me just chilling lmao

no sir

dawn geyser

Nope

What's your SR?

buoyant mason
stuck furnace
#

60!?

dawn geyser
#

30% is above average

weak scroll
#

Anyone looking to team up with a newbie! Still learning the ropes but my aim ain't half bad 🙂

dawn geyser
#

Don't give such numbers in beginners assitance

buoyant mason
#

I do often forget this is new people chat

#

20% is gucci

stuck furnace
#

imma hit 10% tomorrow, easy

buoyant mason
#

More deaths = more learning opportunities so don’t sweat it really

dawn geyser
#

Trooping on with under 10% SR

#

Real champ

opaque vine
#

SR doesnt even matter tbh its all about how you play the game

#

rats will have a higher sr than those who like to fight

stuck furnace
#

fights are by far very fun

#

never actually won one though

#

heh

buoyant mason
#

Still think I’m a honey badger, far from a rat but far from a shift w gamer

opaque vine
stuck furnace
#

i find it a fun experience, dying and then sitting on title screen mentally preparing myself for another raid

dawn geyser
#

Good lad

#

Don't let dying put you down

buoyant mason
#

Could always help to find an extra player to help edge your nerves and provide a little help, completely different game in a squad than solo

dawn geyser
#

Yeah find a duo timmy to play with

#

Learn the game with

#

Don't find a chad or your learning will be stunted

buoyant mason
#

Exploring together > being told what to do

stuck furnace
#

trying to get my mates but they all say its too realistic for them

dawn geyser
buoyant mason
#

There’s a chat dedicated to #pvp-lfg where people will happily play with you

stuck furnace
#

yeah, need to work up the courage to play with randoms ngl

buoyant mason
#

Won’t be around much this weekend but if you fancy a walk around with someone and you’re worried about scary randos shoot me a message

stuck furnace
#

hahaha cheers man, appreciate it

buoyant mason
#

No dramas, hopefully it’ll inspire you to go find some fellow timmies, honestly does change the game for the better imo

dawn geyser
#

This game is designed around squad gameplay

#

Much better imo

#

Experience wise

buoyant mason
#

Shots start to not make you jump, you’re less worried about gear because your boys can dump things for you, extra eyes to watch extra angles, there’s really no downsides once you know what you’re doing

stuck furnace
#

yoo, i really thought i was the only one that got jump scared by shots

dusty wind
#

i love playing with friends it honestly does change the game makes it more fun and less stressful

buoyant mason
#

But at the start expect to die to friendlies and expect to have the “is this you” every thirty seconds lmao

dusty wind
buoyant mason
dawn geyser
#

Have you ever been headshot while you have a helmet?

#

My heart always skips a beat

#

lmao

yeah hahaha

#

i have so much fear being in a really open space

buoyant mason
#

Worst, have you ever accidentally stepped on a landmine in a quiet night raid

stuck furnace
#

YES

buoyant mason
#

Shit = everywhere lmao

stuck furnace
#

NEVER AGAIN WILL I DO NIGHT RAIDS

buoyant mason
#

We’re all the same lmao, it’s just finding a few guys to share the suffering with lol

dusty wind
#

i would 100% reccomend going out and looking for some buddies. its just really nerve racking to speak to randoms. ive been meaning to do the same honestly just gotta get my courage up

#

i just keep forgetting im not a squeaky 12 year old anymore so people dont just abuse me the second i join a lobby

buoyant mason
#

WHY DONT YOU BOTH SQUAD UP

#

there I said it

#

I put it out there

#

A Timmy match made in heaven

stuck furnace
#

i just get mad anxious around new people

dusty wind
#

id be down to squad up if you wanted to

buoyant mason
#

Gotta head outta disc for a bit gl @stuck furnace like I say if you’re lonely next week shoot us a PM, will happily play w/ you 😘

stuck furnace
#

thank you very much Fleffles!

#

im down to squad up too, not sure how it works though

dusty wind
#

id just add you on tarkov and then we just join eachothers squads on the same map

stuck furnace
#

oh, easy as then

dusty wind
#

what servers are you on?

stuck furnace
#

im on oce

dusty wind
#

that might make things a bit more complicated

#

im in the uk

stuck furnace
#

ah yeah, ping would be pretty high

dusty wind
#

this game boots you out if you stay above 250 for too long aswell

#

im used to bad wifi but im pretty sure this game would just boot one of us out instead of just playing with bad ping

buoyant mason
#

Best thing to do would be both screen share, work out if you have a mutual server in common that has a reasonable ping ideally

stuck furnace
#

the only servers that have below 250 ping for me is asi and us

dusty wind
#

yeah the only ones for me are all european

#

actually

#

to be fair most us servers are about 100 ping

stuck furnace
#

im cutting it close with 230

dusty wind
#

thats probably a bit too close

sand snow
#

can you use items you buy from the flea market for barter

dawn geyser
sand snow
#

ah okay so only FIR items to trade

#

ty

dusty wind
# stuck furnace im cutting it close with 230

it was worth a try man. hope you find someone to buddy up with but sadly i dont think its really doable with that high ping because tarkov is dumb and is pretty unforgiving when it comes to spikes when playing with high ping

stuck furnace
#

its all good, i appreciate the thought and i hope you can get yourself a buddy too!

Yes, there are many quests that ask for dogtags as well as many decent barters for dogtags. 1 thats nice is 8 bear and 8 usec for an RSASS as you need this for a gunsmith task and you cannot buy them from the flea or until your peacekeeper 4. I would get a dog tag case. at lvl 15 buy 3 flash drives from the flea and barter jaeger for a dog tag case. Also extra tip... the dog tag case vendors to therapist for 195k, so you buy three flashdrives if they drop into the 60ks which they do from time to time and vendor the case for profit every reset

#

I do this with all my non FIR flashdrives that I die with as it now makes there vendor value 65k essentially

crystal oracle

#

I can think of like 6 or 7 quests that need dogtags

#

Does anyone want to help me figure out how to actually play this game? Im just starting out and I have no idea what to do

green delta
#

Sure bud

#

you like new new... like you dont know what you dont know?

#

The only thing i kind of know is tasks but i have no idea how they work

For therapist colleagues part 3 can I just buy all things on the flea Market and turn it in or do I need to find in raid?

The cards can be boguht the stims cannot be

topaz sierra

Thank u!

green delta
topaz sierra
#

Okay

green delta
#

The quest is failed if you kill sanitar for jaeger

#

and youll lose the stuff you turned in

topaz sierra
#

I haven't

#

Can I make those injections?

#

In hideout ?

crystal oracle
green delta
#

I think 1 of them? in lvl 3. I find a lot of high level stims on lighthouse

topaz sierra
#

Okay thz

green delta
crystal oracle
#

Yeah I’m saving up for it

green delta
#

Ya and then later theres a barter for I think 2 weapon cases and 2 pistol cases for a thicc weapon case

crystal oracle
#

Wot

pallid kernel
#

why is my sks so unstable?

#

i have a hard time lining up shots

#

because of it

crystal oracle
green delta
#

MMmmmm ALT holds breath to steady

crystal oracle
#

Also make sure your not on red stamina

spiral flicker
#

it can also happen if u run a lot

green delta
#

Also moving with any weapon will make it jump

crystal oracle
#

Ye

pallid kernel
crystal oracle
#

And don’t run too much

pallid kernel
#

i bound hold breath to right click

#

so when i aim it does it for me

crystal oracle
#

Tf

#

Oh

#

Yeah make sure your stamina is not low

green delta
#

Mmmmm you honestly might be running outa breath then which will make your aim go all caddy wompus

pallid kernel
#

i was walking until i saw a group of 3 pmcs

#

shot one in the head

#

and the other one killed me

#

in a few shots

#

i wish i remembered to clip it

green delta
#

MMmm i mean it could be aim punch also... your pmc recoils when shot

pallid kernel
#

could be

#

i was moving also

#

could it be that?

#

i would move and stop but its still unstable

crystal oracle
#

Yes

pallid kernel
#

tho i also could have positioned better

crystal oracle
#

If your moving and stopped it sways

#

For a bit

pallid kernel
#

right

#

ill keep that in my head for next time

#

but im making progress

#

learning slowly

crystal oracle
#

Yeah that’s good

pallid kernel
#

at least i got one of them

#

also ragman doesnt want to sell me anymore Uleys

#

what armor do i buy now

#

i think everything else he offers is lvl 2

#

armor

spiral flicker
#

what level are u

pallid kernel
#

8

spiral flicker
green delta
#

Biggest mistake people often make is when they hear people then tend to Ostridge. Like dont worry about making noise. Its better to be fast and decisive and run into some amount of cover and be able to peak fight than try to bank on surprise in the open

#

Paca and a bankrobber my man

pallid kernel
pallid kernel
green delta
#

I feel it man I used to do the same thing all the time, and actually being that semi agressive really increases your survival rate

#

Without the armored rig pacas kinda all you got

pallid kernel
#

again, im pretty new so i still need a lot more experience

#

but i try to use the stuff i learn

#

to my advantage

green delta
#

Hell ya dude... we all were new at one point

pallid kernel
#

im much less scared of fighting pmcs now

#

i just need some combat experience

green delta
#

Oh for sure... just for practice go into factory near naked with a double barrel... Its only 8k from jaeger and it kills everyone just a deader

#

shotguns are straight up god tier

pallid kernel
#

is mp 133 a decent shotgun

#

i wanna go customs

#

rn

spiral flicker
#

its usable but

green delta
#

Ya... its a pump but whatever

pallid kernel
#

leg meta

spiral flicker
#

its pump action

green delta
#

face meta my man

#

no ones in visors

pallid kernel
#

right

#

ill try

#

one problem i have with shotguns is i dont know what my range is

green delta
#

Last wipe I got a shooter born with magnum buckshot

#

You can honestly very consitantly get 50m headshots though

pallid kernel
#

with 7mm?

green delta
#

Magnum buck, but its only slightly better

#

7mm is decent enough, just slightly less dmg

pallid kernel
#

i dont think i can buy magnum

green delta
#

Naw its jaeger 2

#

And jaeger 3 is fletchette which is the best round in game dont @ me

pallid kernel
#

all my traders are 1

green delta
#

Ya the 7mm will still do good

pallid kernel
#

right

#

ill try using that then

wheat terrace
crystal oracle
#

Never use it

#

Everytime I do it makes me puke

pallid kernel
#

i mean its not too bad

#

ive used it before

#

on scavs at least

crystal oracle
#

Polevua slugs are 100x better

crystal oracle
pallid kernel
#

i have to hit head with slugs tho

#

cant do leg meta

#

right?

crystal oracle
#

No

#

Slugs work on legs aswell

#

Slugs do alot more dmg

#

Look at the difference between 7mm and slugs

pallid kernel
#

i guess ill try slugs

#

since i havent used them yet

rare niche
#

Why do I need to wear a face covering

brittle canyon
pallid kernel
dusty wind
rare niche
#

Someone said there was a reason

brittle canyon

plus slugs are harder to hit

pallid kernel
dusty wind
#

your face stands out a bit cus its alot brighter than the surroundings

rare niche
#

Ok

dusty wind
#

you dont need one really

pallid kernel

like wtf

i just wear them cus they look cool tbh

Quick question, I am an NA player and bought the game in NA, I want to play in EU (where I am right now) and it's saying ERROR 208. I know I can upgrade to the EU version of the game, but I am wondering if that wipes my progress? Also when I am back in NA, can I play with my account there?

digital sable
#

.50 BMG slugs are ok for leg-meta, but if you want leg-meta, you’d just use magnum buck

digital sable
brittle canyon
#

7mm if desperate

frigid geyser
# pallid kernel so do i run slugs or not

This is the long standing question of shotgun users everywhere. My opinion ia that if you arent using ap20 slugs, then just use buckshot. Been some reasonable arguments that 5.25mm might actually be the best legging shell atm

#

Though you can really go wrong with 8.5mm either. The problem with slugs vs buckshot is that slugs require much higher precision with much higher payoff and buckshot allows you to just spray a hallway vaugely at someones legs and hope for the best

green delta
#

Imma be real honest man AP20 is kinda doo doo... There pen is ok but even class 5 they struggle... Fletchette on the other hand will 0 a slick even in 2 shots

#

No one can suprive 3 shots from fletchette most cannt survive 2

frigid geyser
#

Yeah i kinda forgot fletchettes, they are pretty banger too

green delta
#

Fletchette is nest round in the game 10000000%

frigid geyser
#

Shotguns are fun and have their place, but ill never stop being a slave to assorted 7.62 rounds

#

Fletch do be grinding through armor though

green delta
#

People get real salty losing a 600k kit with there mutants with BP to a herculean CHAD with his 50k 153 build and a pocket full of 100 rouble fletchettes in 2 shots

crystal oracle
#

7.62 ps is OP asf

frigid geyser
#

Oh its beautiful haha. I lived a hard rat life last wipe with the double barrel, and i feel like i can feel people seething through the monitor when they get bopped by an 8k gun lmfao

green delta
#

Without a doubt, at least for the money, shotguns are the best guns in the game by miles

digital sable
#

Flechette vs. Magnum Buck is a tricky topic. Magnum is technically better since it’s more versatile, but requires more skill to use. I find much more success with Flechettes because I’m bad.

runic fossil
#

any 1 have sanitars office key for shoreline

green delta
#

Fletchette 2 shots almost anyone regardless or armor. Magnum 2 shots with every pellet hits legs twice... so its the same time to kill the magnum is just closer range needed

frigid geyser
runic fossil
#

I like ap-20 tbh them 300m shotty shots with it

frigid geyser
#

This patch with velocity changes 5.25 actually has the best effective range and people arent ready to swallow that pill yet

digital sable
green delta
#

I loved doing silent caliber last wipe with the LONG BOIS

digital sable
#

I’ve survived many flechette headshots at even medium ranges

green delta
runic fossil
#

TBH my fav gun is prob a fully modded mp 155

#

anyone have orb 3 key ? i just need that last door and its like 600k 😦

oof

got all of them except orb 3

digital sable
rotund knot
#

just checked key is 2 mil LMFAO

green delta
#

Ya thatll happen ahah

frigid geyser
#

Honestly be a megamind and the next time you want to run slugs, just run a sawn off mosin buttnugget. Basically a shotgun with better slugs at that point dont @me

digital sable
#

Flechette can beat face shields though which is big

green delta
#

Slugs are the Poo Poo

runic fossil
green delta
digital sable
#

AP-20 is kinda fun, but by the time you’ve gotten it, class 5+ armor is around and it may struggle

#

It can dunk on class 4 and below folks though

#

I just love Flechettes because I can turn my brain off and just shot people anywhere and they die

runic fossil
frigid geyser
#

I still dont see much t5 besides ghezels which are ceramic and break real fast

digital sable
green delta
#

Ive gotten plenty of 100m plus kills with fletchette and if im trying to take 200m fight just leave or get closer... you likely wont win that with slugs anyways

digital sable
green delta
#

AP20 does very low armor dmg actually

digital sable
#

Hmmm

#

I just feel like a slug shotgun defeats the whole point of a shotgun in Tarkov

green delta
#

For example it takes 5 shots to have more than a 60% pen chance on a killa armor. For fletchette it takes 1

runic fossil
#

65% armor damage is not low

digital sable
#

You just have better options than slugs by the time you have access to good slugs

runic fossil
#

But again it depends on ur shotty mp 155 or the new one they both fire fast enough that u can mag dump 8 rounds of ap-20 in under a second

#

the other shotguns fire super slow in comparison

green delta
#

Ya and if you can dump 8 rounds, and 6 need to hit to kill, or you can still dump 8 rounds and 2 need to hit to kill

eager hollow
#

When looking for a group here can we just join any chat? Or do we have to do something else?

runic fossil
#

ap-20 is not the CQC ammo ap-20 is for hitting shots 70-200m out

green delta
runic fossil
#

longest ap -20 kill last wipe i had was like 300m

eager hollow
#

Alright thanks.

runic fossil
#

So again depends on the map and if u want to be useless at range if u choose flech over ap

digital sable
#

I really dig how shotguns make you have to change up your approach compared to other guns

runic fossil
#

but again shotguns all depend on what shotgun ur using imho mp-155 is by far hands down the best shotty the new Benelli is a close second all others are crap imho

green delta
#

I mean my whole thing is if youre one use case of AP20 is tat you can sometimes get 300m kills with a slug that has hige accuracy penalties y not just use a VPO with AP at a low level trader for cheaper?

digital sable

#

153 fires a lot slower then the other 2

pallid kernel
#

i really fucking hate hydration and hunger in this game

#

2 pmcs kills on customs and a fuck ton of loot

green delta
#

Ya idk what ya mean man the 153 is for sure one of the best ones for me... it has twice the MOA as the 155

digital sable
#

It’s slower but, it’s still pretty fast

pallid kernel
#

died cuz hydration

#

for fuck sake

neat wigeon
pallid kernel
#

i even had a slick from a stash

green delta
pallid kernel
#

i was almost full

#

man thats such a bullshit mechanic

green delta
#

You get your stomache blacked then?

neat wigeon
#

does weather effect hydration?

pallid kernel
green delta
#

Nope weather doesnt effect it

neat wigeon
#

good to know

pallid kernel
#

i fucking hate how much good stuff i had

#

and died because of water

#

killed 2 pmcs and made one regret attacking me

#

so he pissed off

digital sable
#

Hydration system makes Tarkov HARDCORE. It basically has no bearing on raids outside of forgetting to do extra inventory management between games 🤟

pallid kernel
#

and i was unlucky with extracts

#

2 optional extracts werent active

#

went old gas and then the zb 1012

#

my next choice was 1011

#

but it was too far

neat wigeon
#

old gas is a death trap

green delta
#

Eh I kinda like the idea honestly. When my stomache gets blacked I can be like oh I know where food spawns are so I dont have to just sprint for extract... and like you can get across almost any map in 5 minutes so you shouldnt every really die to it

pallid kernel
#

and scav got me because my character was pretty much not capable of fighting

pallid kernel
#

the most damage in those 3 fights combined was 10 to thorax

#

i mean at least i killed 2 pmcs i guess

green delta
#

Ya just something to watch is all. Learn where food spawns are and if you are low just leave. you can leave almost any map in 5 minutes

pallid kernel
#

thats something

pallid kernel
#

and i was unlucky

#

if even one of them worked i would post what a fucking good raid i had

green delta
#

Ya thatll happen but you can run across the enitre customs map in 5 minutes

pallid kernel
#

not when dehydrated

green delta
#

Sure you can. dehydration doesnt stom stam, food does

pallid kernel
#

my character got dehydrated about the time i started going from new gas to old gas

#

and from old gas i went zb 1012

#

and then on my way to zb 1011 i died to a scav

neat wigeon
#

being overweight jacks your stamina to

pallid kernel
#

and i only died to a scav cuz my character couldnt do shit

green delta
#

From new gas you coulda been at 1011 in less than 2 minutes

frigid mountain
#

That isn't hydrations fault lol

pallid kernel
#

but i expected at least one of the extracts working

pallid kernel

Y tho? the closest one to you was the gaurunteed one... go for that one

tbh i didnt exactly know the way

what are the meta tarkov sights now? I know vudu and vortex, but what about holos?
