[sudden scarab]

Anyone know if I can craft the T-Plugs for Farming Part 2 instead of finding them?

[mint light]

u can

[sudden scarab]

great, thanks

[drifting jolt]

@sudden scarab it's not very favorable though...

check all dufflebags

and caches

[vapid parrot]

USA

[robust pivot]

Whats a good place for hot rods?

I've been drinking them not knowing they were required for the food container....

[drifting jolt]

goshan, on interchange

far left side of the store

huge food spawns

can get enough for the food case in 3-5 runs tops

just scav it

[barren crag]

the keycard is used to do lab runs so yeah its usefull

[robust pivot]

you can probably toss the access card to therapist if you are new to the game and dont want to try labs just yet

[drifting jolt]

keycard isnt worth it if you dont know what it is (labs map access), so sell it therapist, the pumping station is for a quest wayyyy far away, so not worth soaking up stash space with

and the folding car key is near worthless

[robust pivot]

are any car keys worth keeping really

I feel like they are mostly shit

[drifting jolt]

except for the one that opens the sportscar on Lighthouse

cant remember its name unfortunately

[delicate canyon]

Merin key

[drifting jolt]

that's the one

[robust pivot]

welp, lemme go sell all my random car keys

i dont think I have the merin one anyway

[bold kernel]

which one is easiest to complete?

[bold kernel]

merin key is awesome

AESA, Iridium, Veritas, GP, BTC etc.

[drifting jolt]

woods or shoreline

[bold kernel]

hmmm any good spots on woods?

[drifting jolt]

really depends

[bold kernel]

I find reserve the easiest

Just look up a dome every once and a while

[prime comet]

Anywhere that overlooks sawmill, or med camp from a distance, look at some YouTube video guide

[slate copper]

wood or shoreline

woods has a big mountain in the middle

you can use that for sniping

[sage lotus]

woods has a good spot for sniping the car extract

top left of the pic, you can get up on the rock, go prone and snipe the car. distance is about 270m

granted with most people you'll only have a small window, as they will pay the car, go behind the bridge and wait for timer to go down to about 5-7s

then run up and gtfo

[woeful spruce]

i also got one recently shooting from the rock overlooking the village with the car extract to the gate of the furthest away of the 3 buildings, and it was just barely 126m so its not a super reliable spot but can work

[sage lotus]

this one?

[woeful spruce]

yup

[sage lotus]

yea, sniping on the road axis can work, but you kinda sorta need good weather conditions for it, iirc the town is a bit foggy

similar to outskirts area

[woeful spruce]

and preferably a buddy to cover your 6

[sage lotus]

until you've fired a shot, people will assume theres nobody right there and just run

that spot is moderately far away from any loot spots, and in that area of map people will be either at scav town or in one of the old sawmill buildings

or camping un roadblock

[oblique shell]

it's just me or the scav betrayal rate is higher in reserve than in other places? got shot twice by a duo of player scavs

[sage lotus]

big loot to be had, including military tier of loot

iirc someone here mentioned being able to snipe towards outskirts off or next to the big rock with 2 wooden boxes

or possibly bunker overlook rock, where you can see both the outskirts road, and the sawmill road

[slate copper]

depends on how geared you are tbh

i did die to some team killers in light house tho

are you shooting scavs at all

[rain wing]

can I do anything for the rd?

[lofty hull]

Is the antique hatchet good and should i buy it

[rain wing]

it feels like it still has more visual recoil than the ak for some reason

[mint light]

no

[sage lotus]

melees dont matter as much in eft

outside of strictly melee runs

if anything you might use them to break some glass (interchange main entrances) or as a last resort for a quick jab

the second part never happened to me yet

you pretty much want to have a melee that is as light as possible

hatchet weighs like 2kg

same with crowbar

[austere steppe]

I’ve had a few situations which melee was an option

Big noob that forgot to bring ammo in with me

[sage lotus]

tbf it's fun to run around with a literal axe in your back pocket, but its heavy

[austere steppe]

Oh yeah, on the rare occurrence you do get a knife fight it is fun

I’ve convinced a few over voip to do it

[leaden cove]

if i repair my glass face shield with a bullet hole ( crack ) will it disapear ?

[ancient thorn]

this right ?

[mint light]

buy it

[ancient thorn]

dont have the roubles

is that the right price ?

[mint light]

its a steal

[bold kernel]

interesting

[sage lotus]

I once tried but screwed it up sadly

I blame it on mosin

I'll try again later when i get access to better snipers

[meager shell]

where do you find ski mask with holes for eyes at?

[sage lotus]

scavs, random loot

[bold kernel]

I was duo with my brother, had tkm ammo in my sks and didn’t know how to eject it. Got into a firefight in woods. Guy was in the cabin so I was like I’m expendable ran in with hatchet killed the guy while he was healing. Turned out my brother didn’t tell me he went in and I killed him xD

[sage lotus]

lmao

[ancient thorn]

jeager ll 1 has a grey one and ll2 a black one

[mint light]

thats not what he meant plus thats ragman

ski mask with holes for eyes is what the item is literally called

scvs have it a lot

[ancient thorn]

oh

[lilac ferry]

Would anyone want to do Seaside Vacation with me? Trying to learn the new maps but I frankly keep dying (first wipe) can also voicechat :)

https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Seaside_Vacation

Find the informant's briefcase on Lighthouse
Hand over the found package

[sage lotus]

use #pvp-lfg

[lilac ferry]

Am beginner looking for assistance, that chat better?

[mint light]

yes

[lilac ferry]

ty

[sage lotus]

idk what changed after i sold off half my inventory but I'm actually slowly gaining money now

up to 1,5M now, after being chronically poor

[mint light]

thats my line

[sage lotus]

oh balls, that zabralo made my stash worth over 10M now

too bad I gotta keep it for quest

wait is that a killing shot, or just a shot that hit

[wary pewter]

Is there not a way to look for people who are buying certain items on the flea rather than purely selling

[mint light]

required search

required search an item to see if people want that item

[wary pewter]

Thank you. Learn something new everyday

[somber stag]

hi everyone

[elfin pendant]

is the ks-23 with shrapnel 10 supposed to kill with head eyes from 40-50m away? second time i die like that

[vale niche]

Current stash, does anyone know what i should do?

87k rub

[young scaffold]

how long do i wait for airdrop after popping flare?

[dawn geyser]

Instant to 15/20 minutes?

[vale niche]

Are those keys worth/ good?

Do i keep or sell?

[sudden rapids]

the sheyork no. keep dorms and the resort key I think

[meager shell]

The W321 is aight and the others up to you

[vale niche]

Whats the shestyork for?

[vale niche]

What map is it for?

[meager shell]

W321=

[vale niche]

Yes

[meager shell]

Shoreline

its west wing health resort room 321

in the middle of the room there is a b i g safe

[vale niche]

Ah okay

Thx

[somber stag]

any tips for someone whos about to launch the game for the first time? ahah

[dawn geyser]

The sad but real tip is

Expect to die

Load in knowing you're not going to make it out

[somber stag]

ahahah, ive gathered that from videos xd

thanks anyways

[dawn geyser]

Hahaha.

[somber stag]

mentally prepared tho

lets see

[dawn geyser]

Go to your traders and examine everything so there's less to examine later

[somber stag]

i love gamesthat push you, so, hope i like this one x

[dawn geyser]

You can get level 2 off the bat

[somber stag]

okay

[dawn geyser]

Accept your trader tasks from Prapor and Therapist

MMB is a quick examine button

[dusk canyon]

i like to record my fights and see what i can do better the next time 🙂

[dawn geyser]

Yes, very solid tip

If you don't quite know, post it in one of these channels and people will give you tips

There will be a pinch of trolls but majority of people will give you constructive criticism

[somber stag]

yeah, imstarting by following ur tip and well, be mentally prepared to die afterwards ahah

[dawn geyser]

I'm ready for 1 week down the line seeing your name

Desk slam screw this bad game

then another 2 weeks
I can't stop playing

[dusk canyon]

praying for slicks galore for you

[somber stag]

im gonna spend 45 mins examining everything ahah

in 1 week time

i hope im gonna be better xd

[bold kernel]

LFG, level 3 right now, looking for some help getting introduction task done in woods

[dusk canyon]

you'll figure out your playstyle in time, whether its aggro or passive

[somber stag]

yeah, gotta try out to find out

[dapper ether]

-Just tryna do punisher part 1 on shoreline

[dusk canyon]

playing aggro youll lose a lot of gear but also you learn how to fight better and passive= less pvp but more money

[leaden cove]

can someone help me understand the healing with the afak

[somber stag]

yeah, agree

[whole thistle]

Double click and it'll tell you how much it takes to heal a bleed

Same for every medkit

[leaden cove]

ok i see

[swift acorn]

can anyone with tape key or smp help me out

[sinful rivet]

is this a bad kit?

[dawn geyser]

Me personally, I would put a canted, other than that looks solid

[burnt kernel]

does anone have a dorms 206/303 key he doesnt need anymore? dont have the flee market unlocked yet

[dawn geyser]

Used keys cannot be dropped Gumbo

Only FIR keys can be dropped

[burnt kernel]

ah i see

thanks

[dawn geyser]

[sinful rivet]

canned food?

[dawn geyser]

Canted

MPR-45 I think it's called

+Detapoint mount and deltapoint sight

[bold kernel]

trying to get to airplane, can someone mark this location on a map for me

[rugged badge]

It's sunken straight in the middle on the top

[bold kernel]

[bold kernel]

i eventually got out with the task lol thanks guys

[hardy vale]

can anyone help me out with operation Aquarius part 1

[rigid light]

Here hop in https://discord.com/channels/521608697764380694/935947208073814106, help me and Ill help you

[proper forum]

Do you guys bring headphones to factory or not worth it?

[dense canopy]

How much does the crypto farm make when you barely build it ?

[spare acorn]

not worth it

[sterile minnow]

Headset bis anywhere you go

[late bough]

does sound suppressor on an SKS severely reduce the damage/pen on BP ammo?

[spare acorn]

suppressors in this game dont reduce stats on ammo unlike other games

cough cough cod cough

[late bough]

I had BP ammo with an SKS, shot someone in the face and they did not die. (PMC) I then shot a scav in the face and they still did not die. Aren't you supposed to shoot armor with high pen bullets? I'm struggling with the understanding of how you play and what you shoot with low pen high flesh damage bullets vs the opposite.

[spare acorn]

bp kills anything in the face except scav bosses and very high class helmets

you probably missed, the pmc had a rlly good helmet, were unlucky or the scav was a scav boss

https://eft-ammo.com/

[late bough]

PMC had an SSh-68. The scav was 5 to 7 feet in front of me. idk how i missed, lol

[spare acorn]

ssh-68 has a chance of ricocheting good bullets

scav could've been bugged

[ancient thorn]

woah xD

[reef meteor]

I honestly think it could've been stars aligning at that time lmao. I do know that SSH does indeed have a high ricochet chance, so it definitely could've bounced off. On the other hand, if you shot a scav in the face with BP, there's a chance it could've survived. I do know that some scavs have different health pools, with some having signifigantly more health than other scavs. I remember killing a Gluhar guard, and the guard took 2 shots to the face (no helmet) before it died

[ancient thorn]

whats the difference between these ?

and the (sniper) one

[clear flume]

the sniper one can have optics mounted to it

[brisk socket]

yo can anyone help a brother out to do quest to unlock jaeger please ?

[agile onyx]

i just got these 2 guns in a scav raid and idk what to do with them

[bold kernel]

Sell suppreser on saiga 9

153 best gun

[agile onyx]

to who?

[bold kernel]

Saiga 9 to mechanic

[grim tide]

im having trouble finding escape points when i want to leave, does anyone know any tips for this

[bold kernel]

Shotguns that are semi auto (153, 155) are op with buckshot

Just aim for face

[bold kernel]

Try factory

[grim tide]

okay thanks

[bold kernel]

Look at map geanie also

[grim tide]

how do i do that

[bold kernel]

Web site

[sage lotus]

https://mapgenie.io/tarkov/

[bold kernel]

Yea

[agile onyx]

so just sell the whole gun to mechanic?

[sage lotus]

Reserve and Lighthouse are available on mobile, but for me they're unusable due to mobile not having small icons mode

for now I just use the maps on wiki

[bold kernel]

All guns and gun stuff to mechanic

[grim tide]

thanks @bold kernel @sage lotus

[agile onyx]

ok and keep the 153?

[sage lotus]

for sales:
prapor = grenades
therapist = meds, valuables, rare loot
skier = only if you need more spent money to level up his Loyalty Level, he doesn't pay much
peacekeeper = info items - books, SAS drives
mechanic = guns, gun mods
ragman = gear, clothing
jaeger = melees

[agile onyx]

bet ty

[grim tide]

are all the exits open each match?

[buoyant grotto]

how long do u have to be in raid to get survived?

[sage lotus]

not all, depends on your spawn

[grim tide]

okay thx

[sage lotus]

7 minutes

if you kill anyone you can immediately extract iirc

[buoyant grotto]

yea im in labs trying to do the guide

[agile onyx]

I got a car batter and PGauge idk what those are

[dawn geyser]

Search the wiki

It lets you know if you need those for future quests

[agile onyx]

link?

[bold kernel]

The Official Escape from Tarkov Wiki

https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Escape_from_Tarkov_Wiki

This and map genie carried me to my first 500 hours and 10 million rupl

[agile onyx]

dayum

i just reached level 2

anything i should do for starting

or to focus on?

[spare acorn]

quest

[sleek grove]

Back after a long time and finding that my old M1A comfort build is at minimum hidden behind level 24 L3 peace keeper really hurts, I hate the RFB a lot I find too. If anyone has good comfort weapon options, that would help. While I find the UMP is nice, I'd prefer to have other early/mid level options that work as well such as a DMR and AR build.

[bold kernel]

Just try all guns in my opinion

All guns can kill very effectively in tarkov

Even a bolt action toz

[sleek grove]

bigger issue seems to be both automatic recoil and ammo

finding comfort ammo that isn't m80 is rough

[woeful spruce]

from level 15 to unlocking m856a1 you can use 545pp or bp and then use thae m856 a1

using that in 600rpm guns is very comfortable

[bold kernel]

but a couple of recommendations are Sks Adar Mp153 ak74 mossin

[spare acorn]

7.62x39 ps ezpz

[mellow island]

im so confused by sniping in this game.. also how it is even possible to kill rogues in lighthouse and i;'ve watched guides and such.. i can kill the 1st 2 rogues.. and then i get fucked by this wild rogue with a skull mask that just doesn't give a shit about anything at all.. i've been practicing offline and i assume this is a boss.. or something... but then it almost seems not to matter as when i 0 in to 300m i can aim slightly above/below spot on to mass.. i have no clue if im hitting them they dont move or die so i assume im just not hitting them despite zeroing all my shit and using a mosin with a high velocity. the ai in this game is below half life 2/f.e.a.r. its just oh he is within 300m and not cheesing the shit out of me.. die.

[ruby adder]

Not true, minimum 200XP. You can kill someone and not get enough XP

[gray tiger]

anyone has bunk key, i need it for mission @_@

[gilded fulcrum]

does anyone have the operating room key for lighthouse pls i waoud like to go on a raid you can have all the loot i just want my quest

[mellow island]

i do but fuck that map.. tired of dieing from 300m out

this game is built on hopes and dreams

[bold kernel]

And the people who love and know how to crush them

[wise ether]

Just don’t

Simply do not get shot

[whole thistle]

Fr

[mellow island]

or they could just make a good game with ai that isn't 20 years old.. but w/e back to rust

[wise ether]

What?

[bold kernel]

just don’t quarl with the rouges

[mellow island]

i have lke 5 quests in there

[wise ether]

The rogues don’t do jack shit

Just snipe them

[mellow island]

this game is truly built on hopes and dreams of ppl hoping they are going to fix its many many shortcomings

[wise ether]

Snipe rogues and then go do your task it’s rly not hard

[mellow island]

but all of shit will still be here when 1.0 drops

[bold kernel]

They all are direct descendants of Gorge Washington

[whole thistle]

"when"

[bold kernel]

Lol

[wise ether]

Ah yes the stage of a first wipe player where they complain about the game because they die

[mellow island]

hard enough for some of us.. i dont even know how ANY1 can deal with skeleton face man

idk how u cheese or anything witht hat guy he runs around everywhere

[wise ether]

Who said I was taking about that fucking monster

[mellow island]

he is a laser beeam

[wise ether]

The rogue bosses are different then rogues

[mellow island]

and again f.e.a.r. a game from 2009 i think has better ai

[lofty hull]

i just extracted with a labs card

[wise ether]

The rogue bosses fuck you

[lofty hull]

:D

[wise ether]

The rogues don’t

[bold kernel]

They just tickle your booty hole

[wise ether]

Yes

As an avid loothouse player the rogues are not very hard if you bring a even just a vpo with a tac30

[bold kernel]

Yea

Real

[wise ether]

Simply don’t stand on top of the rock and expose yourself

And u won’t get booty clapped 👍

[timber remnant]

mad facts

i can clear it with a pistol

[wise ether]

I can kill rogues with my red rebel

I’m simply built differently

[bold kernel]

I can do it with flare gun

[foggy barn]

!p fuel

[bold kernel]

fuel is used to power the hideout

It can be perchesed fro jagor

But just find it

[median cairn]

imagine not hatchet running rogues

[rigid light]

wh

why did he attack

[topaz forge]

because youre a scav

[rigid light]

i didn't even see him until he was turning the corner, SIG MCX in hand to remove my existence priviledges

[mellow island]

is cheesing the game fun? the only fun i had was when i just spammed factory or sprinted to dorms for pvp.. cause every1 can hear every1 else so your all in a "fight".. the rest of the game is "shit im dead..", "where from", "who fucking knows.." . i really love the "idea" of this game.. i just hope another company actually makes it.. because these dudes can't.. they don't have the ability (ik they got the resources though).. they are setting up arena/streets when they should be working exclusively on server side netcode/ audio/occlusion/ai/optimization

[spare acorn]

[bold kernel]

Rogues are easy af to kill and not that scary

The snipers on the rocks and the player scavs terrify me though

[violet nymph]

they are if youre playing as a scav and arent sure whether they're still friendly or not

[bold kernel]

Even as a pmc it's just Alt+D / Alt+A moment

[austere hound]

That's kinda his point. You're just encouraged to cheese them

[violet nymph]

they can be friendly if youre playing as a scav though as long as you dont get too close. Sometimes you think they friendly and all of a sudden they rip you to shreds with their machine guns

[tidal hamlet]

yo quick question whats the best way to get my pmc kills done for punisher pt 4?

[bold kernel]

Oh in that case yeah. Fighting them properly is quite sucky especially if they're just on the ground

[edgy plover]

"Best" meaning fastest or safest?

[tidal hamlet]

i would say both

but mainly just the fastests

[edgy plover]

Well the answer is different for both options. Fastest is going to involve Resort, and chasing shots or moving to cut off people you hear. Safest will involve holding a good spot in high-traffic areas like the central canal. @tidal hamlet

[sleek grove]

who sells 856a1 at that level?

[edgy plover]

PK 2 after Cult 1

[woeful spruce]

^^^

[sleek grove]

ahh I have no PK tasks yet which means I have other tasks to finish to get his tasks. I think I need PMC kills but I suck at PVP so ig I'll chase pmcs somewhere

[edgy plover]

Yea it's Friend from the west 1 and 2 from Skier that lead to PK tasks

[urban wolf]

tac30 bad, valday better for lighthouse

tac 30 too large of a reticle

for night

blocks view

[tidal hamlet]

i just clapped 2 kids in resort with a vpo 215 bro how 💀

yeah so i got 2 out of 10 now

ill def just keep going resort

[icy frost]

does kiba fucking suck now? the keys are so cheap

[whole thistle]

Yes

[icy frost]

why?

[merry cave]

so anyone available to help edumicate me on whats good ammo and not and sort my ammo box?

[whole thistle]

Nothing good ever spawns in there anymore

[lofty hull]

how much do fire klean sell for on the flea?

[icy frost]

very in depth, thank you

[whole thistle]

What do you want? Percentages? 💀

[merry cave]

25k ish

[lofty hull]

imma just sell to therapist

[merry cave]

https://tarkov-market.com will help you sooooo much

[icy frost]

no i just wanted some shit like "meta guns don't spawn". gimme something to go off of, "nothing good" gives me next to nothing

[whole thistle]

Meta guns never spawned

They just lowered spawn rates

They did that to a lot of keys

Rip ultra med 🪦

[merry cave]

need ammo sorting assistance if anyone can help

[icy frost]

then it's still good, it's just in line with the rest of the game now

[whole thistle]

There's still keys that are good

Those are expensive af

[icy frost]

high spawn rates for shit go to the chad playground

[dense canopy]

What would be worth it ?

[cosmic tinsel]

breakeven over the time you expect to play the game, weighted differently if you need more cash early or highly or lowly value persistent income

[ruby adder]

Kiba is worth a look at assuming you find the keys and not pay excessively for them

But it's not worth starting the raid with the anticipation of solely going kiba

[dense canopy]

This is my first wipe playing so first time building it, doesn't it create the coins for weapon boxes ?

[cosmic tinsel]

it creates bitcoin, which are moderately valuable, but the value has dropped off a cliff

i havent seen the current math on btc farm

[dense canopy]

but I can use them for the weapon cases from mechanic right ?

[cosmic tinsel]

sure

i doubt its the cheapest way to do it

but that is a barter

[dense canopy]

currently its the only way I can get them I think they go for a lot on the flea

[cosmic tinsel]

the btc farm is gonna cost more than a weapons case

[dense canopy]

To run ? or to construct ?

[cosmic tinsel]

to construct

[fickle cairn]

I mean I have 10 Gpu I think it’s worth considering there’s like 5 more months of wipe left

It’ll pay itself back

[cosmic tinsel]

it might! like i said, i havent checked the math

it just used to take a while, longer than a lot of people play

and like, w/ 1 gpu you're looking at 40 hours/btc

thats 2 weeks of nonstop fuel burning for a weapons case

[graceful girder]

question, can you send people things through messenger?

or better question, how would i send things to someone?

[cosmic tinsel]

sell it on flea

transferring between players is pretty cracked down on

[mint light]

just messages

[graceful girder]

ahh ok

i murdered someone who had a kit that was worth...quite a lot. was thinking about offering it back in exchange for a fricking awl lol

[mint light]

what is it

[dense canopy]

Currently have 4 gpus from when I started

[graceful girder]

really nicely kitted out mdr, avs plate carrier, m995 ammo

[mint light]

keep it

dont vendor it

[dapper galleon]

Wait till ya get glee market for a awl

Flee*

[graceful girder]

ugh, so close. i'm at level 12

[bold kernel]

what's up with all the timmys on factory

level 40s spawning in with nothing and getting killed by scavs

[dapper galleon]

Factory

[bold kernel]

Bit coins are not worth

I have more money to spend and I have never used bitcoin farm

Just sell gpu on flee

But still invest in hideout

[limpid wadi]

The weapon case barters seem to be worth it

[bold kernel]

Just do the aesa barter for mechanic

Around 1 mil a case

Or less

[limpid wadi]

level 3 / level 4 though. Casual players could easily have 30 bitcoins before they reach mech 4

[potent crater]

What should i even do with my 15 btc

[mint light]

therapist

[potent crater]

:(

[mint light]

30 btc before lvl 40

what game do u play

[potent crater]

^^^

[mint light]

thats like that 20 red card shit on flea

[robust robin]

can anyone here take a screenshot of their resort docs case for me to copy

[potent crater]

He plays the run into interchange as a pacifist and pouch any btc you see then get shot in the head

[tepid knot]

W 104, w112, (w222,221 or 218 they’re all connected), w220, w219, w216(usually hard to get because of tasks), (w205 or 203) w306, w301, e110(San tape), e107, (e222 or 226), (e306 or 308)

[dense canopy]

I just invested making the farm, I did have about 6 mil at some point but wasted making guns for runs and also upgrades on the hideout

[robust robin]

thanks lad

[tepid knot]

Np hope that helps

[crimson wharf]

do bosses kill AI scavs?

[tepid knot]

Besides the goons no

[crimson wharf]

i swear shturman just killed an AI scav

no doubt in my mind

[tepid knot]

Must’ve been a player scav

[crimson wharf]

wasn't late enough in the raid to be

[robust robin]

are w220, w219, w216 connected? @tepid knot

[crimson wharf]

100% he just killed an ai scav

[tepid knot]

No

[tepid knot]

If ur tight for funds focus on the connected rooms, San tape and 301

[robust robin]

got 3mil spare lol

[fading sedge]

I have a question about the compass, if its in my special slot do I lose it on death? or does it stay ?

[tepid knot]

Could’ve been a weird scenario where they were shooting past eachother and caught agro because of it like how two skeletons in minecraft can start shooting eachother

[tepid knot]

Nope u don’t lose it

[fading sedge]

awesome, I was hoping that was the case

[tepid knot]

Yea I’d go for all then if ur gonna be running shoreline a lot, half of them u need for tasks anyways

[tepid knot]

Also works for markers and jammers and range finders

[robust robin]

hmm i swear last wipe san tape was like 80k tops lol

[tepid knot]

At the end yea but usually it’s more

This wipes kinda weird with pricing rn tho like rn st is like 90k when in past wipes it would usually get to 200k by the end of the wipe but this wipe it dropped straight from barter only to there

[robust robin]

rb st?

[tepid knot]

Auto correct yea

[robust robin]

that was changed to a quest reward

which is probably why

[tepid knot]

It’s been a quest reward in the past, u get it after u need it tho

[robust robin]

my bad

[tepid knot]

Other keys like 301 are really cheap rn too compared to usual

Seems like they messed with the value of the key internally so how expensive it is to place has changed so it’s like sweet spot where u gain the most is right there

[light mesa]

whys ultra medical cheap now

[tepid knot]

Yea keys being at weird prices this wipe but ultra med has been worst the past like 3 wipes

Used to be like a 6 mil key but even now I’d expect it to be like 500k

[light mesa]

yeh i found 2 of emn

[tepid knot]

Combination of less ledx chance in there, key seems less rare, less ppl wanting to main interchange this wipe, and all keys feeling really cheap rn

[wild cape]

will cultists attack scavs and are they in every raid after 2am?

[tepid knot]

They don’t always spawn but if they do it’s in between 10 pm and 7 am (22-7) and they shouldn’t attack scavs unless u make them mad

[wild cape]

aight, understood

[tepid knot]

Good luck gamer

[spare acorn]

cuz ultra med got shit on with dynamic loot

and resort got nerfed ledx spawns this wipe

• key prices diminish further into the wipe it is

[mellow siren]

anybody willing to help me with some tasks?

[tepid knot]

Yea ultra did get nerfed but when it did it’s price went from like 6 mil to being around like 800k, so if it’s cheaper than around 800 I’d say there’s more factors doing that. I’ve found more ledxs in ultra than I have the past 2 wipes so I’d actually say they made it a bit better this wipe. As for resort, ledx spawns again were nerfed during dynamic however I still feel like this wipe has been better than usual with their spawn rate. I’ve found at least 30 ledxs in 301 alone. No shot it should be 80k based off of the loot in it. Even at the end of a wipe. The bigger change is how they have been changing the flea charge incentivizing players to put items for way lower prices then they usually would

Sorry if there’s any weird words in there I’m typing on my phone so might’ve been a weird auto correct

[spare acorn]

I'm a shoreline main, last wipe i found a ledx every 4 raids. This wipe, 1 ledx every 20 raids or so

[tepid knot]

I would but I’m out rn, try lfg or joining a beginners channel with like 1-2 ppl in it!

[mellow siren]

thanks

[spare acorn]

I've played around 400 shoreline raids this wipe and around 1200 last wipe

[tepid knot]

Or join an empty one and hope someone joins u

[tepid knot]

Yea idk obv rng plays a role but that could be down to ur servers and having more hidden cheaters that are snagging the ledxs from u

[spare acorn]

I play on the same servers

You are most likely lucky

[tepid knot]

Or ur unlucky lmao

[spare acorn]

How many shoreline raids do you have this wipe?

[tepid knot]

Idk like 300 prolly

[spare acorn]

You're probably lucky or have less cheaters on your servers

You're NA

which automatically means less cheaters

[tepid knot]

I didn’t main it last wipe so I’ll take ur word that it was good, I mained it the wipe before dynamic and honestly did not find many ledxs that wipe

Yea for sure cheaters could be playing a role Ik a lot have been loving shoreline this wipe

[spare acorn]

My friends have also said they've been finding less ledx this wipe

[tepid knot]

Yea I could be the lucky one, I still don’t think 20-1 deserves 301 to be 80k when even without a ledx or gpu in there u will make that off of one go

[spare acorn]

301 is currently around 250k

that's usually the average

[tepid knot]

Ok that seems about right to me. I’m out rn and last time I checked it’s price it was at 80k

[bold kernel]

damn

so easy to become broke when having fun/factorying

4mil yesterday > 250k now

[tepid knot]

At least ur having fun tho!

[bold kernel]

3 days of grinding to 1 day of fun is a shitty ratio 😄

[tepid knot]

Yea I’m back at college so I’m not playing as much and the other day I hopped on for the day and went from like 8 mil to 20 k from just playing stupidly thick just for the fun of it

[bold kernel]

yeah

[tepid knot]

While also getting creamed on every raid lmao

[bold kernel]

m1a is expensive asfffffff

[spare acorn]

nikita arena when

[tepid knot]

Fr

[bold kernel]

fr ong

[spare acorn]

no cap on stack

[bold kernel]

am considering upgrading to EOD so I don't have to buy arena

[tepid knot]

Still gonna be using ur gear for it tho

U should, it’ll be worth it for the free dlcs

[spare acorn]

You'll have the option to, not necessary

[tepid knot]

Yea Ik but that means yoloing crazy kits will still happen

[celest viper]

at what durability should you stop using a gun?

[tepid knot]

I usually stop around 70 for full auto

But if ur shooting a scav gun ur shooting it to be cheap so don’t worry about it

[graceful girder]

Depends on the gun. Something close to medium range, not a big deal. Past 25-30 meters, I want a higher durability gun.

[spare acorn]

I stop at 93 cuz tarkov hates me

[tepid knot]

Semi close quarter u can get away with very low

[bold kernel]

how so

[spare acorn]

90 durability guns have jammed way too much for me

[celest viper]

I have a couple half health AKS74Us from scavs, I guess I can save money by only buying a full health red AKS74U and moving all the parts over?

[tepid knot]

But like durability below 80 will have very increased jam rate and are more inaccurate

[celest viper]

Or not even worth and should just vendor them and buy a new one

[spare acorn]

plis dont use scab guns

[bold kernel]

if your gun malfunctions when shooting someone at 200m it ain't a big deal
when he's up in your face I don't want my gun breaking on me

[tepid knot]

Yea some ppl really into moving all the parts over to minimize money spent

[graceful girder]

Where are you at in the game? Level/money?

[celest viper]

@spare acorn I'm not

[spare acorn]

you line up a headshot with your nice boltie, press left click and you get the red malfunction notification

[celest viper]

lvl 21 1.5 milly

[tepid knot]

At lower durability it isn’t the jam for long shots that’s the worry, u will sometimes just miss the shot when I would’ve otherwise hit

[graceful girder]

I say buy new.

[bold kernel]

ohh fuck me sorry I forgot durability changes MOA

[graceful girder]

Especially for ak74s

[spare acorn]

Tarkov players trying to understand what MOA is:

[dense canopy]

If i shoot someone on the same leg does that kill them or does it not take damage once the limb is 0 ?

[spare acorn]

And the youngling discovered leg meta

[bold kernel]

nah ik what MOA is but brain stoppy

[bold kernel]

it distributes the damage across the body health pool

at 0 they die

[tepid knot]

This is why “leg meta” is a thing u can kill someone just by spraying their legs

[bold kernel]

Also the damage is increased by 50%

[spare acorn]

[celest viper]

Is there any faster way to instantly put together a kit other than just gun presets and wish list?

[graceful girder]

I've been playing with vpo 209 and 215, and got someone with a fancy MDR. Took it out for a practice run to see what all the hub bub is about. Very nice.

[tepid knot]

Yea using gun presets should make it basically 3 or 4 clicks to build a gun if doing it right

[dense canopy]

Makes sense, this is my first wipe and every death I've had has been either left leg or right leg

[slate copper]

yeah and people use ammo with little pen and lots of damage

[celest viper]

@tepid knot It's so many clicks for me, maybe I'm not using it right. I have to find the preset, then find parts. I have to select not just from traders cause my traders aren't that leveled yet, then I have to uncheck all the boxes that already come with the gun when you buy it (standard stock, gas tube, dust cover etc) and then I also have to go manually search for the base gun cause it always defaults to a cheap low durability one on flea

And I have to assemble manually cause sometimes I just don't want to include a certain part from the build this time, like if I already have a scope, and then it won't assemble cause I'm missing parts

[tepid knot]

Buy the gun before and then do edit preset

It will take away the whole parts u need on top of the gun

Then if u want to change something change it in the edit preset menu and then go to buy

It’ll make it wayyyyy quicker but I feel u that’s annoying when it thinks u need all those extra parts. Might be a check box that stops that but later on once ur guns really don’t have any base parts on it, you won’t have as much of an issue

[celest viper]

ok thanks

@tepid knot and there's no way to auto assemble if it thinks you need those base parts

OOh got an idea, maybe if I dissasemble in my stash first

[spare acorn]

include parts that you have must be turned on

[tepid knot]

^ once u check it u really never have to check that box again

[celest viper]

where do you even find that

[celest viper]

Oh fuck I know why I can't assemble

My preset is for AKS74UN and I bought a AKS74U

[drifting jolt]

you have to have space for the gun to assemble itself in your inventory

[tepid knot]

That’ll do it

[drifting jolt]

face palm well that'll do it lol

[drifting jolt]

ahaha

[tepid knot]

Lmao mote I was thinking the same thing but turns out all of us were thinking too hard

[tepid knot]

Def done that before tho lmao

[drifting jolt]

i cant brain good

[tepid knot]

No u brain too good

[celest viper]

thanks guys ;)

[tepid knot]

Any time bro!

[spare acorn]

"The mutant is pretty balanced i'd say"

[tepid knot]

U should do something about the recoil! It’s shooting all over the place

Lol

[spare acorn]

[celest viper]

is there a good spot to find rechargable batteries? I feel like they don't spawn with all the other tech stuff on interchange

[tepid knot]

Filing cabinets will have them some times

U can find them in the big wooden crates too

[normal drum]

just wondered what out of this I should wait to sell on the flea market/use for quests (im only level 12), thanks for any help

[tepid knot]

I’d sell the fuel but a lot of it ur gonna need for tasks

The tea u can sell

[celest viper]

keep broken gphone, cpu fans, 2 toolsets, t plug, car bat, uhhh

That's all I've needed so far, there are more oyu need for hide out tho

[normal drum]

alr, ty both

[potent crater]

can someone dm me your post fxc

fx

[tepid knot]

Do u have a favorite streamer

[potent crater]

not really but I think most streamers are also using a ton of stuff in their nvidia control panel

[tepid knot]

Some do some don’t, I use nvidia control panel so mine wouldn’t be too helpful

[potent crater]

I just use gamma and that is it

[tepid knot]

I think onepeg has a good video on how to set it up

[dapper galleon]

I can send ya mine in about a hour when I get home

[potent crater]

i dont care much about them just saw a video turned them on and they look shit so im just trying to take some quickly

[tepid knot]

Yea a lot of the good ones are gonna be making ur game look worst but see better

[dapper galleon]

Mines for looks for the game

And a slight bit of pvp edge

[hasty dove]

Hello I’m new here and could use some help on EFT

[lilac vale]

Welcome! What do you need help with?

[cosmic tinsel]

Workbench 2

[unreal horizon]

filing cabinets too

[cosmic tinsel]

I gave in and crafted for mech today lol

[unreal horizon]

you can scav and check the cabinets in d2 its low risk

and there are like 9000 of them

[cosmic tinsel]

How long are scav times on reserve these days

[celest viper]

@cosmic tinsel WB2 is so expensive ;(

[cosmic tinsel]

I got to 20 min trying to scav lighthouse, wondered if that meant reserve is freed up

[drifting jolt]

26-18 minutes give or take

or you mean waiting in queue?

[unreal horizon]

not sure tbh i haven't done more than 5 scav runs this wipe

[cosmic tinsel]

Tell me about it. I’ve yet to find a single flash drive so I’m just gonna craft em outta intel lol

[cosmic tinsel]

Yep

[drifting jolt]

its been happening occasionally on reserve, dont know hwy

can happen 2 or 3 times in a row too

[hasty dove]

@lilac vale quest lol

[lilac vale]

Can you elaborate further than "quest"? Otherwise I can't help you 😄

[celest viper]

I have these 4 keys. Is it worth running shoreline for them or are they not that good?

[unreal horizon]

pouch not backpack for keys

[glass lily]

310 is good

[celest viper]

ik ik lol just put em there to seperate them from stash clutter for screenshot

[lilac vale]

https://gameslikefinder.com/article/best-tarkov-keys/#shoreline

[hasty dove]

Ragmans quest

[unreal horizon]

i think its e222 thats good and not that one but i might be misremembering

[celest viper]

@lilac valethanks

[unreal horizon]

what quest lmao

[lilac vale]

🤘

[lilac vale]

I give up 😄

[unreal horizon]

fair enough

[lilac vale]

Not messaging the guy 3 times to find out what he needs help with lol

[cosmic tinsel]

Help me help youuuuu lol

[drifting jolt]

do not feel compelled to have to use keys... can make tons of money without them

[lilac vale]

👆

[drifting jolt]

good keys generally mean high traffic area...

so you can get good loot, but you also have to survive

[hasty dove]

@drifting jolt yea I get that, I already have a good money run but it sounds fun to try the key rooms

[drifting jolt]

youre not wrong, but things like marked room on customs has been nerfed so many times it's not worth the hassle of going there

unless youre really good at pvp, then not worth it

[celest viper]

I'm trying to become really good at pvp so good practice ig

[bold kernel]

do i give them to him

I want moni

[unreal horizon]

its not much money id give

[lilac vale]

Anyone ever seen this? If so, where?
https://tarkov-market.com/item/gingy_keychain

[dapper galleon]

Marked rooms

[lilac vale]

Aight, will keep running it 🙂 thanks. Got an injector case in dorms marked today, poggers

[bold kernel]

aight

now i just need horsies and a cat

[lilac vale]

Dorms safes is your go-to

[tepid knot]

Drops in marked like regular key chain

[strong barn]

found it in a secret stash in customs start of wipe, thats it tho

[bold kernel]

I got these 2 just now from a lighthouse run

found cats and horses there too

so i'll just keep doing this

last run

[tepid knot]

Nice’

!

[bold kernel]

shared bedroom marked, Conference room & merin are big money keys

shared bedroom is like 40k too which is crazy

[celest viper]

is looting scavs worth the time it takes?

[unreal horizon]

not really

it can be but 99% of the time it isnt

[zinc temple]

keycards + stims 1/30 times makes it worth it if you arent in any danger

also you’re only supposed to loot bag and pockets

[icy frost]

are there some server issues right now? ive restarted my game and gone into raids, but none of the traders are loading

[drifting jolt]

multiple people reporting this issue right now

[drifting jolt]

i do if it's safe... always check their pockets

[icy frost]

do we know if raids are affected?

i need to do a lot of quests

[drifting jolt]

no one has mentioned that, that ive seen

[drifting jolt]

if you need gear... rigs, backpacks, want the occasional heal item or grenade, then loot them

simple Scav Vest rigs go for 20k on the flea

[celest viper]

which trader should I sell intellegence folder to (not found in raid status) or is there a barter that's better than selling?

[unreal horizon]

could do peacekeeper but id keep for intel center

[tepid knot]

If ur gonna sell it, I’d sell it to pk

[celest viper]

I don't really care about any of the perks intel center gives, i guess you need it to unlock better hideout things though?

[drifting jolt]

well it has great benefits so you should be

[bold kernel]

second haul

if you ever need money, loot house is the way to go

what should I do with dorms marked?

[pallid flare]

not bad

what bag you running?

[unreal horizon]

done the quest?

[bold kernel]

Attack 2

Got 2 from a quest

[pallid flare]

nice

[bold kernel]

?

[unreal horizon]

you need to place a marker in the room

[bold kernel]

Ah cult part 2

I meeeeaaannnn

A friend has it

I was wondering what I should barter it for

[unreal horizon]

fair

[steel arrow]

Anyone down to help a Timmy do Vitamins pt 1 and database pt 1 on interchange? 🙂

[bold kernel]

?

none of these seem worth it tbh

[unreal horizon]

maybe tape or ultra

[bold kernel]

Maybe

In the end I traded the KSM key for a tape key and the dorm marked room key for 5 metal fuel tanks

mmm gasoline is tasty

[stray kernel]

-3 scav rep do i reset account?

[bold kernel]

lmfao how

first time using a car extract gives you 0.25 rep if I remember correctly

[tepid knot]

What’s ur lvl

[stray kernel]

15

i have decent gear and knowledge now but65 min scav time is keeping me back

[unreal horizon]

up to you tbh

you dont need to scav super often with flea market

[bold kernel]

defo up to you

but scavs are really useful when you need a quick cash injection

[tepid knot]

If it took u a while to get there I’d say no but if u lvld up pretty quick to there then go for it but I’d say it matters if u got a full inventory of gear or not

[tepid knot]

As was said before tho, if you haven’t used car extracts each one will give u .25 the first time u use it and decrease from there

[cosmic tinsel]

poverty pmcs are underrated

[celest viper]

Repair or sell?

[cosmic tinsel]

taking a DB and nothing into raid is like, as good as scavving in most cases

[tepid knot]

Def repair

Good rig to use

[pastel current]

Repair. It's a good tier4

[celest viper]

Yeah but 10 health below max?

[tepid knot]

Still good

[celest viper]

k

[tepid knot]

I’d use that prolly down to like 55

[unreal horizon]

its class 4 the dura isn't gonna save you

[celest viper]

what does that mean?

[unreal horizon]

most people can pen class 4, and if they cant the 10 dura won't do much

might be 1 bullet if lucky

[celest viper]

So basically the stuff that can't pen it still wont pen it even with the increased pen with low dura?

[unreal horizon]

thats my thought process anyway

it'll give some bullets like 5% more chance but who cares

[celest viper]

nice

I was getting new class 4 armor after like every raid lol will repair more now

[unreal horizon]

also depends on material

most class 4s rigs are fairly repairable

but a lot of the armors are ceramic and fuck that

[prime comet]

Tv110 I’d use down to 65 dura

Because then it’s basically class 3 and useless

[pure skiff]

Anyone know how to make the game not blurry af for amd graphics card

[unreal horizon]

what are your current settings

blurry is probably antialiasing or just noise

[bold kernel]

Do rogues spawn with blackrock/tv106+109?

I've only seen them use Commandos

[young silo]

I've never seen rogues have a Blackrock but Raiders do.

[unreal horizon]

i'd craft for that task

[bold kernel]

Reserve is scawy

Ok

[young silo]

Just make it

takes a very short time.

[unreal horizon]

the small one is common af and you can craft blackrock

[young silo]

Get teh tv from scav

scavs*

[bold kernel]

Alright

Ty

[cosmic tinsel]

this is going to be your blurriness, but it also makes game run faster

also confirm that your monitor is 1080p

if your monitor isnt, you're forcing a non-native resolution that results in additional aliasing

[blazing sierra]

I wann learn lab

[vague verge]

should i try to complete the quest with skier for chemical part 4 or the Out of curiosity quest for therapist

[unreal horizon]

go offline learn all spawns and exits

[pure skiff]

instead of balanced what should it be and ill check on the resolution rly quick

[unreal horizon]

whatever highest quality is called

[cosmic tinsel]

ye^

[dawn geyser]

Performance I think

[pure skiff]

is it also true that the game runs worse on amd ?

[unreal horizon]

think performance will blurr it more

[unreal horizon]

the game runs bad period.

[cosmic tinsel]

yeah you want quality probably

and i noticed a lot better frames with dlss but it does look worse

[unreal horizon]

i had a similar issue with nvidia just don't know the terminology for amd

[pure skiff]

im just trying to be able to see better bc at distance i stand no chance bc everything is so blurry i cant see anyone past like 40 m

[unreal horizon]

if changing that setting doesn't do the trick you can try sharpness in graphics and clarity in postfx

[drifting jolt]

mess with your anti-aliasing setting too

[cosmic tinsel]

fsr is dlss

[cosmic tinsel]

he cant, hes got fsr on

its on LOCK

[blazing sierra]

know most exits but hallway man

hard to tell sometime if i going to right way

[pure skiff]

should i turn fsr off and mess with anti aliasing or no

[cosmic tinsel]

uh, you can try

fsr is probably giving you a ton of frames

[amber elbow]

tbh learn all the other map before labs cuz u get all the greasy sweaty 5k hour chads on there

and its very easy to loose money on labs

[blazing sierra]

Know most map except Reserve

To complicate to get out

[unreal horizon]

then labs probably isn't the move

[amber elbow]

just saying if its your first wipe i would stay away from labs unless you are ballin

[drifting jolt]

ah gotcha, missed that part, my apologies

[bold kernel]

I'm doing the gunsmith part 3 quest and I've modded it to the right specifications and I won't let me turn it in, have I gotta load the mag or something?

[slate copper]

fold the stock

[cosmic tinsel]

nah it was good advice, just didnt work this time

[slate copper]

i think thats part 2 tho

idk

[bold kernel]

that's part 2

[slate copper]

are you sure you did it right

like did you do what the wiki said

[bold kernel]

yeah

[slate copper]

did you try and fold the stock

[drifting jolt]

does it have ammo in it?

[bold kernel]

you can't

[bold kernel]

yeah, I tried it with and without it

[slate copper]

send a picture of the gun

[drifting jolt]

^

[bold kernel]

I'm dumb as hell, I was missing the sight

[slate copper]

did you forgot the laser

[drifting jolt]

lol

[slate copper]

it doesn’t need a sight

[bold kernel]

it was the iron sight

[slate copper]

oh

[elfin pendant]

is there something like the size of a keytool that stores keycards also with keys?

[drifting jolt]

no

[dapper galleon]

You can put keycard holders in docs cases

[fair spindle]

can raiders spawn in black pawn on reserve?

[unreal horizon]

no but boss guards can

[cyan hare]

do all pmcs spawn close together

in the same region

[mint light]

in a group yes

not in the same group not really

some spawns are somewhat close and factory is always close

[cyan hare]

like could some pmcs spawn on the opposite side of where you spawn

[mint light]

opposite side of the map? yes

[cyan hare]

i see

do pain meds count as meds for tough guy?

[dapper galleon]

Any meds

[dapper galleon]

Anything that heals you, stops bleeds, fixes limbs, stops pain

Every time I go to do farming quest and get the syringe on factory I get teamed by player scavs as soon as I get the syringe 😢 tarkov hates me lol

[bleak ibex]

is scrap metal bugged for anyone else?

cant plant my markers on the shorline tanks got one behind resort but the other two wont work

[drifting jolt]

run with a 5 man

[dense canopy]

Once you go into a raid with an item you found in a previous raid the item loses that mark right ?

[slate copper]

yeah

[dense canopy]

sweet thank you

What's a good long range scope ?

[cosmic tinsel]

vudu is popular, im a burris fullfield man myself

[mint light]

how do u unironically use the tac30

[unreal horizon]

vudu bussin but tac30 and valday are great for value

[dense canopy]

Been using Burris no issues, just thought there would be a better one

[mint light]

tac30 eye relief is a joke

[brittle canyon]

eye anxiety

[mint light]

and vudu just objectively makes every gun better

[cosmic tinsel]

just feels right to me

[mint light]

shoot more than one bullet and u can no longer see ur target

insane optic

[cosmic tinsel]

🤷‍♂️

[brittle canyon]

because it fell over and died

:chad:

[dense canopy]

Is there bullet drop on this game ?

[fast sundial]

yes

every gun has a unique bullet velocity

[dense canopy]

Does certain ammo help ?

[fast sundial]

yes different bullets have different velocities, the lower the velocity the quicker the bullet drops

[storm vapor]

So quick question how do star rounds work? I had some loaded and al it did was hurt the person it never flashed them

[brittle canyon]

toz star is a slug

zvezda is the flashbang for the ks

[dusk canyon]

game down?

[lofty hull]

Is this barter worth it?

[lofty hull]

of course i got FUCKING HEAD EYES'D 20 SECONDS INTO THE RAID FROM BIG RED.

[brittle canyon]

skill issue

[brittle canyon]

you don't even have ammo for it

(855 doesn't count)

[pulsar fulcrum]

why ? it not good ammo for beginner ?

[prime comet]

For a beginner it’s fine

But ideally you’d only use 556 when you can buy m856a1/m855a1

[brittle canyon]

545 PS equivalent out of a more expensive, less wieldy gun

absolutely zero value or merit

aside from the trader sell value of course - use the money to buy 762 PS

[pulsar fulcrum]

how about 5.45 ps/pp ?

[obtuse kelp]

im down to help if anyone needs it

[night talon]

should i keep or sell this?

[rugged badge]

either works 🤷

use it or sell it

up to you

[night talon]

alright, it just sells for almost 70k so i was wondering

[rugged badge]

up to you what you care about more rn rubels or the suppressor

I run a lot of 556 atm

[night talon]

i do havce 2.8 mil rn, so that is fine i dont need to sell it, and so i think ill keep it. i do like 556 and 762, just dont have a lot of good ammo for them

this gunsmith 9 sucks, since i dont have skier 2 or 3

can someone buy me the ak-74m/ak-100 zenit pt lock? i cant get it because i dont have skier

[brittle canyon]

none on flea?

[night talon]

not any for me

[rigid light]

is there any reason to use military checkpoint key?

https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Military_checkpoint_key?so=search

[west plover]

what do i do if i suck at tarkov?

[brittle canyon]

be better

[dusty mortar]

play more

[rugged badge]

it depends what you suck at

[woeful spruce]

Kinda risky to use it but if you want to try to farm some found in raid only ammo from ammo boxes its kinda ok i guess

[rigid light]

hell yeah bby two tasks at once

[crimson wharf]

anyone got any advice for tarkov shooter 8?

[wicked pagoda]

yes find 3 people to cheese it with

[crimson wharf]

how?

just try queuing for the same match?

[wicked pagoda]

they go into group together and you alone, all of you only have one server selected and you countdown and queue at once
you will be in the same raid 99% of the time

[woeful spruce]

Stop trying to do it on pourpouse and it will sudenly complete itself when you least expect it lol thats how it went every time i did it. After tens of tries i said fuck it and gave up trying i go on a woods raid to do something completly difrent and do it on accident

[crimson wharf]

i don't have anything else to do on woods though

[rugged badge]

I haven't checked but do you need to survive?

[rugged badge]

have fun? kill surhman

loot ?

[crimson wharf]

true

[woeful spruce]

Yea, im pretty sure that 2 wipes ago when i did it i just took a mosin infantry to lvl sniperskill and got jumped by a duo while minding my buisness and then an extract camper in zb 14 lol you can someti es complete this quest in really dumb ways

[blazing sierra]

damn there's a lot of cheaters in EFT

[rugged badge]

nah he is legit, just a wizzard

[blazing sierra]

Yeah He dodged all my 15rounds of m995 and 15rounds of m856a1

[rugged badge]

ah there is your issue using m995

[blazing sierra]

I brought three mags 2 for wet job quest and 1 for PMC aka self defense

[rugged badge]

honestly my reccomendation would be to not differentiate eem

makes life easier

[ripe temple]

That’s pretty funny the guy just sat there letting you unload into him and then you cut the clip just as he turns

[blazing sierra]

bc no need to see it Head, eyes

[sturdy flame]

@elfin helm opinions on the armor setup?

and the ears

[brittle canyon]

pretty heavy but good protection

I guess

[sturdy flame]

what would be a good lightweight for factory you reckon?

[gray notch]

ears is all personal pref

[sturdy flame]

true very true

[gray notch]

Something like the Press armor is nice and lightweight imo

[elfin helm]

You get your ears based on you rl sound card, thats all I can say.
Other is good I think

[gray notch]

Stomach protection on factory is a big plus tho

[sturdy flame]

gotcha i'll go with the press armor

don't need this bulk beast

[brittle canyon]

lightweight armors are often either low durability or no stomach and these two are bad in factory

so you need to strike a balance somewhere

[gray notch]

Though press is 5kg and has stomach 👍

[brittle canyon]

it’s lv3

[gray notch]

so is the armor hes wearing now

if you can get your hands on a ghzel it would prob be optimal, but hes only level 20 it seems

[sturdy flame]

is the helmet fine or should I go for the steel penis one?

[sturdy flame]

yes born and bred level 20

[gray notch]

The ears protection on the ratik is a nice bonus imo

[elfin helm]

helmet is fine

[gray notch]

but low level on factory something like the cabbage helmet with faceshield is nice

[brittle canyon]

it’s 4

[sturdy flame]

cabbage helmet with faceshield..?

[gray notch]

kiver with faceshield is about the same price as a ratnik

[brittle canyon]

kiver sucks

[sturdy flame]

yeah it's about the same

[elfin helm]

bad move until your map awareness it perfect. Till that moment you need headset

[gray notch]

yes but were not talking meta loadouts here, its a faceshield for the same price wich on factory i would say is a good tradeoff

[sturdy flame]

noted

my map awareness is similar to a tourist holding an actual map

[gray notch]

fair lmao

[brittle canyon]

kiver with fs is <24000??

[gray notch]

yes

[brittle canyon]

bro wtf

might reconsider it

[gray notch]

or about 26k rn

[sturdy flame]

the final result

[gray notch]

2 chainlets are about 12-14k

[brittle canyon]

factory key

[elfin helm]

26-28. 2 chainlets barter for kiver + 14-15k faceshield

[brittle canyon]

no surgery

[sturdy flame]

take out the surgery kit and get a factory exit key?

[brittle canyon]

yes

[sturdy flame]

ok doing so

[brittle canyon]

if u need to do surgery just bail

[gray notch]

yes not worth standing still for so long

[elfin helm]

7 pellets to pockets for quick reload if it will be needed

[sturdy flame]

ok that is actually something i wouldn't have thought of on my own

is this a yay

[gray notch]

👍

[brittle canyon]

no dogtags

unless you need it?

you need it?

[sturdy flame]

i dont even know i just have it for the sake of having it

[brittle canyon]

nah just find and shove some valuable in there

[elfin helm]

dogtags for RSAS even if he get killed

[sturdy flame]

or i could bring a docs bag

or just take it out entirely

not really sure

[elfin helm]

did you finish gunsmith 6 atm?

[rugged badge]

also I stopped running a doctag case

[sturdy flame]

nope still gotta get that done

[rugged badge]

I used to do it for a very long time, but it removes FIR status of tags and meh

sicc case much ebtter once you can buy it and otherwise no must to have em in your case

[celest viper]

does it count for the factory office kill quest if you shoot and kill somone outside of office while yoiu're in office?

[elfin helm]

you will need 8 bear + 8 Usec dogtags lvl 15 or higher for barter. I usually take that case with me until I have those

[sturdy flame]

let me check to see if i got those

3 bear and 10 usec

god finding bears are rare huh

[elfin helm]

time to hit EU servers lmao

[sturdy flame]

oh right i forgot

you can do that

[smoky moth]

pretty sure your kill has to be inside office, you being anywhere doesnt matter

[rugged badge]

I need 20 bear kill 🙃 on a specific map

[elfin helm]

no, but if you kill someone inside office and you are outside - it will count.

[sturdy flame]

you have fun with that lmao

couldnt imagine
