anywhere you know a good loot run for

lighthouse is quite good, but its very popular too

factory is the only map that kinda sucks for loot

i dont think woods isnt very contested if you know stashes

[hollow frost]

I dislike woods with a passion

[queen gazelle]

What’s the best map to find large beef stew? So far the only maps I play are customs, lighthouse, and shoreline. No luck finding on those maps so far

[wise ether]

reserve has tons of food

[thorny furnace]

i get a lot of large beef stew on reserve

especially in those big wooden crates

[queen gazelle]

Thanks

[thorny furnace]

[copper plaza]

How do you use the flare?

[dark wyvern]

point up and click, make sure its the red flare or else it wont call in an air drop

[signal chasm]

I tried but it wouldn't lemme "equip" it

Says it needs something to fire it

[dark wyvern]

is it a 1x1 or a 1x2

[signal chasm]

This thing

How do I fire this exactly?

[dark wyvern]

put it in your vest and press 4-0, then press that key to equip

[signal chasm]

Alright

[dark wyvern]

it works the same as setting a bind to a grenade or something

[signal chasm]

I'll give it a try when I do a PMC run

[signal chasm]

Thanks, noted

[dark wyvern]

good luck

[bold kernel]

just got the game wish me luck

[dark wyvern]

shoot the opps, you will win that way

[bold kernel]

that one won’t drop a supply crate only red ones do if that’s what you want

[signal chasm]

What are they useful for then?

[bold kernel]

flare gun barter i suppose

🔫

[signal chasm]

Lol ok

[obtuse timber]

or bait people near an extract and camp rat gg

since everyone plays like a little bitch anyway

[wise ether]

who is going to a normal flare💀

[signal chasm]

Heh, you're telling me... already managed to escape someone one tapping a couple teammates I was with from half way across the map (In which I did end up running into a pscav who had a graphics card 💀 . I gave that graphics card to the remaining guy I was with because I'm so nice to people ingame and irl)

However, I did make 400k from that raid still because of other juicy loot

[wise ether]

the fact that you told us youre nice makes me scared

[signal chasm]

When the pscav ran into me, I knew he was like, "Oh F-, I'm dead. I have a graphics card, just take it-"

[signal chasm]

How?

It's called generousity

[wise ether]

people that have to specifically say theyre nice are usually not

usually

[signal chasm]

Here was my pov during that raid; I make so much cash almost every raid and that graphics card was around the same amount I make each time. So I was like, "to heck with, you can have it"

[bold kernel]

📠

[wise ether]

im not calling you mean but saying that can make you look bad

[bold kernel]

🚫🖨

[signal chasm]

That's because a lot of people are untrustworthy and are not willing to show enough kindness

[dark wyvern]

you sound like a narcissist

[signal chasm]

I remember as a PMC last raid, I was trying to get a quest done and I purposely brought in crappy gear. Some random PMC came into dorms where I was, I told him that if he kills me, he's just wasting his bullets. He said he'd let me go but shot me anyway, that's a large sign of untrustworthiness

[signal chasm]

I'm not as a matter of fact, I don't appreciate my own expertise

Think of it more like, it's better to give than receive if that makes sense

So tbh, you misunderstood my statement there

[dark wyvern]

no but saying because im nice and shit makes you sound like your self-inflating your ego and making others try and think your a good guy

like im sure you're not a bad person but still

[signal chasm]

I now sense you're being judgmental

Do us a favor and mind your own business. If I'm a nice guy, let me be. I do not need to be given a guilt trip just because I'm helping others out. That's just rude as hell

Back off man

[dark wyvern]

im just observing some weird ass behavior

[signal chasm]

I don't understand how I'm being weird. How is giving others what they need being weird?

Geez, you're so judgmental from what I can tell

[dark wyvern]

like the sentence "because I'm so nice to people ingame and irl" is just off-putting

[wise ether]

its really not meant in a bad way we're just saying its kinda weird to specifically say that youre "so nice". Its not meant in a bad way im sure bit it can look weird to new people when you say that

[signal chasm]

Ok I take that part back, I do have trust issues I'll admit that. However, what I meant by that was, if someone really needs something for their hideout or whatever the hell it is they need, I just give it to them because I know I'll find something else

[dark wyvern]

exactly

[signal chasm]

That was my point

So no, I'm not "so nice," I have trust issues too

[thorny furnace]

is this worth it or is it stupid

[signal chasm]

I meant "so nice" as in I'm just sacrificing something I could use

[dark wyvern]

we were just saying its hella weird to go around saying you're nice

[wise ether]

if you are using good ammo you would want to shove some up your ass

[signal chasm]

Ehh, the grizzly is worth more tbh

[wise ether]

the grizzly is fine tho

[thorny furnace]

im using shitass ammo

the ps shit

[wise ether]

yeah just keep it in your rig then

[signal chasm]

That was my mistake, ty for calling me out on that btw. I tend to misuse my own words sometimes

[dark wyvern]

kinda, you can heal for a couple raids without buying meds or paying for healing

[thorny furnace]

i keep finding them in white bishop

[dark wyvern]

what is going on with these emojis

is there commands for emojis or some shit because i didnt open the shit on that message

[signal chasm]

@dark wyvern @wise ether I misused "nice" in my way. I apologize for that. I already said my point though, so now can we move on?

[dark wyvern]

i moved on

[signal chasm]

k

[wise ether]

I understand, i misuse words too its really fine just for future reference

[dark wyvern]

yeah

[signal chasm]

Understandable

We're all human, we all make mistakes

Anyway, so if that flare does not do crap, then what should I use it for?

Lure others to my location? 💀

[dark wyvern]

its worthless

except for the barter for flare gun

[unreal horizon]

its kinda funny to shoot at people

thats about it

[thorny furnace]

whats the fastest way i can gain fence rep

ive been having a hard time with making money because i killed so many scavs as a scav when i first bought the game and its coming back to bite me now

[ripe temple]

car extracts co-op extracts

[thorny furnace]

im at -0.64 rn

how should i do co op extracts if im solo

[ripe temple]

early wipe until i hit max fence rep i just cycled my scav factory and extracted after like 2 minutes of looting inbetween my pmc runs

[mint light]

cant do it with a teammate either

[ripe temple]

co-op extracts are only on certain map and requires 1 player scav and 1 pmc

[thorny furnace]

oh

how does that even work then

u just waiot there for a pmc?

[ripe temple]

you voip and pray the other party doesnt backstab you

[mint light]

i play as a pmc and make homies with da scavs

[ripe temple]

or scav and try to find a pmc

[thorny furnace]

how much rep does it give u

[ripe temple]

first car/co-op extract gives you .25

[bold kernel]

reset your account.

[mint light]

💀💀

[ripe temple]

after that it degrades to .15 then .10, etc

theres multiple car and co op extracts

you can hit the car extract on customs, interchange, lighthouse, and woods and get 1 whole rep from that

that'll get you back into positive

[thorny furnace]

oh shit

bet thxs

[ripe temple]

it costs roubles

it varies based on rep

[thorny furnace]

do u know the scav refresh time at each rep level

[ripe temple]

nope

my scav refresh time is like 6-7 minutes

car extracts are done on pmcs btw not scav

[thorny furnace]

rubles arnt really a problem for me rn im looking to level up

i usually keep around like

1m at a time

[unreal horizon]

whats the lowest possible scav rep?

[brittle canyon]

unbound

but max penalty at -6

I think

[unreal horizon]

ill see how low i can get

[copper onyx]

two things

do you get roubles for simply doing raids? i haven't been paying attention 💀

also how exactly hard is it to level up loyalty with someone

[mint light]

easy. especially with prepare for escape or edge of darkness editions

[mint light]

no

gotta get an item out

[copper onyx]

good thing i have edge edition

gotcha, so only if i live? or do i only get it through selling

[wise ether]

if you sell items

and some tasks give money however how much money ranges

also, different traders pay more for different things

mechanic pays the most for guns and ammo

fence pays the least for everything

[copper onyx]

gotcha gotcha i see

[wise ether]

therapist is who youd sell items like vases, veritas, and really any valuable

[dark wyvern]

anyone have a pm pistol on their scav?

[copper onyx]

you know the one time i found that armored teddy bear was in practice

those 3D maps come super in handy

[wise ether]

ye

those maps were my savior when i started

[copper onyx]

i don't have to spend 5 hours+ trying to learn a barely readable flat map with near zero detail

the 3D one is goated

[mint light]

jaeger

[wise ether]

really?

are you fr?

[mint light]

for bolts and shottys

[wise ether]

oh ok

i was worried id been selling all my shit to the wrong person

[copper onyx]

also does prapor just give me daily shit or something with this edition

that's the third time in a row he's just given me stuff

[wise ether]

early levels he will be generous

i dont know if it is specific to your edition but he will give you some decent stuff for early levels

it stops pretty early tho

[copper onyx]

sad...

[unreal horizon]

and stabby stabbers

[mint light]

u get stuff for free for being under a certain rouble count

[tepid garnet]

The best way to play tarkov is to inject yourself with adrenaline just like your PMC

[slender willow]

Would I be able to get someone to get some stuff for me from flea?

[spiral flicker]

No

I mean

Depends

Coz u can't really drop much nonFIR items

It's limited

Coz ppl were trading stuff for keycards

Yk

[slender willow]

I need 3 items that i don't think would be limited?\

[spiral flicker]

Which

[slender willow]

Sewing kit, Flat Screwdriver (the long one), and an electric drill

wait crap all barter items

painful

[spiral flicker]

Idk if u can drop them

Tbh

Well

I am not even home

So I can't help

[slender willow]

terrific

[spiral flicker]

[slender willow]

[spiral flicker]

[slender willow]

the last sewing kit i got, i got killed by a kitted out pmc

[spiral flicker]

It's not that rare tbh

But I understand

When u need it

U can't find anything

I needed 1 teapot for my quest

I was looking for it like 3 weeks

Then I killed some guy and he had 2 on him

[slender willow]

W

I just run scavs repeadetly on customs and hit technical supply crates 24/7

will find one eventually

[spiral flicker]

That's nice plan lmao

Actually

I don't know why but I scaved on woods yesterday

And

In med camp I couldnt open a single tech/med/food box lol

Only in med camp

Also

Also I had 4 day brake from tarky

And when I went to raid yesterday

Scavs didn't shoot me

I was like bruh what

And my teammate told me about some bug or something

[slender willow]

wacky

[spiral flicker]

U bear or usec

[slender willow]

my run for sewing kits also occasionally gets me itmes for 2 quests i have so

[spiral flicker]

Noice

[frigid finch]

so i didnt see it listed, but near that usec camp, there is a mattress that had an m4 just lying there on it

[mint light]

on the rock?

there are preset m4s at usec camp

[frigid finch]

near a rock...its the camp before the usec camp area for the quest in woods...and it just had an m4 out in the open

ahh didnt know that

[frigid finch]

went in with just a pistol and came out with the best bag and rig ive ever gotten lol...and an mp7 and m4

[thorny furnace]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/909646505802104933/1027457607784476722/unknown.png i’m not finished filling this box up but do you think i should wait to unlock flea to sell this stuff or just sell it to traders

or what items should i wait for flea

[novel urchin]

Anyone have Skier Level 4 that they could get me a Trijicon REAP-IR thermal scope for Gunsmith 16? I can bring whatever needed into raid to make it worth the hassle.

[stray cargo]

lot of the stuff there is for quests but that aesa in not flee marketable maybe sell that if you need money

[thorny furnace]

wait so stuff that isn’t FIR is marketable?

dam

i never knew that

[stray cargo]

I cant tell if you are serious or not but this is beginners chat so I assumed you dont know that

[thorny furnace]

nah i’m serious lol i’m rlly new to this game

i’m like a week in

[stray cargo]

ay hope you have a good time playing it :DDD

[woeful spruce]

https://youtu.be/zlvsSDmH5Xg

[frigid finch]

is the dog tag case worth buying?

[woeful spruce]

Really interesting as a bear i had no idea this was going on but it explains the quieter raids ive been getting its cause less usecs fight scavs

[woeful spruce]

Probably not as a priority but nice to have

[frigid finch]

i think im gonna get it cause ive lost quite a few dog tags just dying during the raid...being able to keep it in the pouch will be nice

[brittle canyon]

no

tags aren’t worth pouch space

[woeful spruce]

I dont think having a dogtag case in your pouch is worth limiting your pouch space personally

[brittle canyon]

if you’re gamma or higher and you have literally nothing else it’s fine I guess

but even then why not leave it empty to shove loot in

[frigid finch]

im gamma, didnt even know there was higher lol

[woeful spruce]

Only kappa above that

[brittle canyon]

kappa

[frigid finch]

how do you get that?

[woeful spruce]

Do most quests in the game get like lvl 55 and colect all streamer items

[frigid finch]

haha so ill never get that, good to know

[signal chasm]

How many quests do you have to go through to get to The Cult - Part 1?

[woeful spruce]

Very few people get it mostly streamers

[thorny furnace]

is eod worth it for a new player

or should i wait till next wipe

[brittle canyon]

wait til sale

[thorny furnace]

how often do sales happen?

[signal chasm]

Imo, yes

Reason - you have a crap ton of space for your stash and you get better gear as you progress

[thorny furnace]

is there like holiday sales

[signal chasm]

Christmas is highly celebrated in EFT

[frigid finch]

i mean...it really just depends on how tight money is for you...if you have the money, definitely worth it...is it worth missing bills over, definitely no

[signal chasm]

That's coming up too, but gotta get through Halloween first

Quests

Quests, both player-given and dynamically generated, are intended to be a large part of Escape from Tarkov.
Some require you to pick stuff up for certain traders, while others require you to kill other operators or mark vehicles and specific places. Quests are the fastest way of gaining EXP. Completing one will often reward you with experience points, trader reputation, money, valuable loot, rare containers, and unlock the purchase of new items.
When a trader has a quest available, they will have a green tick on their icon.

[signal chasm]

Alright, thanks

[olive thunder]

hey just bought the game yesterday, any kind hearted individual that would go on a duo raid and just help me out abit...i played scum before so the looting system etc. is not new to me

[brittle canyon]

#pvp-lfg

[olive thunder]

aight thx

[grizzled echo]

Could someone give me a basis rundown on how the game works? I’m very confused on what to do

[stray cargo]

you would be way better off joining a vc for that my man

[grizzled echo]

How about a YouTube video?

[frigid finch]

im pretty new...but basically, you start a raid, you have 40 minutes to get from where you spawn to a designated exfil while looting the whole way....if you die or run out of time, you lose everything you brought in with you and picked up, if you make it you keep everything

[grizzled echo]

So how and what ways do I aqquire or unlock different gear and weapons?

And no hard is grinding and how time consuming

[frigid finch]

finding it in the raids

[grizzled echo]

Is there a way to repair it or buy ammo for it?

[frigid finch]

honestly, just prepare to get your dick kicked in for a little while at first

and yea, you can find repair kits, or improve your hideout

[grizzled echo]

What is a hideout?

[stray cargo]

no no no you got it wrong, its just prepare to get dick kicked

[grizzled echo]

Alright, so what do I do in the meantime before I actually get good

[stray cargo]

place where you can upgrade different parts of it to get bonuses such as: bigger stash, faster healing, crafting etc.

[grizzled echo]

Where can I find that in the menu

[frigid finch]

i would recommend going in with minimal gear at first...like just a pistol, learn how to navigate a map, the different types of healing, how the gun play feels....its a shit ton of stuff

[stray cargo]

or just play offline for a bit until you learn the map

[frigid finch]

that sounds like some pussy shit to me

especially now that you have free healing for the first 30 raids...may as well just go in and see what you can do

[stray cargo]

yes but I am talking about knowing at least a couple extracts otherwise it doesnt matter what you do or find if you cant get it out

and for that: https://mapgenie.io/tarkov

[frigid finch]

lol trial by fire...thats how i learned...frantically trying to google a map as time ticked down, no idea where any of the landmarks were...crying and screaming for mommy as my imminent failure approached

[stray cargo]

I mean same for most of the time but I am just giving a more comfortable option

[frigid finch]

lol you really want to make the mistake of making someone feel comfortable in this game? perpetual discomfort is life here

[stray cargo]

I honestly dont have a clue why do you need to prove your manhood here bro this is a chat made for helping beginners not jerking yourself off and being borderline edgy, yes you are correct but not everyone wants to learn that way because if they cant see any success in sight they might just leave the game for good and this chat right here is kinda made to prevent that in a way

[frigid finch]

lol wow dude you take what im saying way too seriously...i thought it was readily apparent its dripping with sarcasm

[stray cargo]

meh some ppl here are that way so I usually assume the worst xD

[frigid finch]

fair enough lol

[stray cargo]

especially from someone with (be fair here) an edgy pfp xD

[frigid finch]

lol god dammit i keep meaning to change it back

[stray cargo]

XDDDD

[frigid finch]

i normally have a picture of myself

but dont have one on my new pc lol, so changed it to mh for now

but yea, i kinda figure you have to have a sense of humor in this game at first...because if you take it too seriously it is going to suckkkkk balllzzz

[stray cargo]

that is very true

[frigid finch]

i was an idiot and was like "ive been playing shooters for 20 years, i dont need to learn anything, ill just take all these weapons and shit they give me from buying the game and roflstomp people....like 8 raids later...well fuck

[stray cargo]

you got tarkov'd

[frigid finch]

i got tarkov'd so hard...quit for a couple weeks, (partially cause of new monster hunter stuff) then came back and have been loving it

except woods...i have lost 3 kitted(relative to me being level 10) good guns cause of fucking mines....fuck that place

[stray cargo]

man I found an RSAS (rare as fuck gun) there while my initial equipment was an obres mosin and a bank robber rig XDDD

[woeful spruce]

Yea, on woods you gotta really look iut for those mine warning signs, and not walk around usec camp too much lol

Generalky woods suck if you dont got the map knowledge but once you do its really good

[thorny furnace]

where can i find gas analyzers

i went to drop-down room on reserve a few times and found them but i kept getting shot with them and i haven’t had a lot of luck since

[stray cargo]

I got mine by scav running reserve/factory and looting the large medical crates

[prime remnant]

interchange scav runs are also pretty loaded with gas analyzers in idea and oli usually

[stray cargo]

if you wanna do a scav to try and find em I can hop in with you btw

[ripe temple]

you can find a lot of gas analyzers in the tech stores of interchange

i find multiple there all the time

Texho, Rasmussen and Techlight

all 3 are close to each other

[frigid finch]

do you get different lobbies when you have real guns equipped? because everytime i start with just a pistol i easily make my way up through 5-10 kills and leave fully stocked...but if i ever try to kit up before, i die to a pmc within minutes

[merry swift]

No

[alpine mural]

rng

[frigid finch]

so i just have horrible luck lol

[alpine mural]

i wouldnt say that

[merry swift]

I think you might just play different

[alpine mural]

its more of what mindset you have

obv if you have a good kit youre gonna play diff, compared to a pistol run

[merry swift]

A lot of people get real anxious when kitted and play like shit as a result

Whereas they yolo with their ra5 gear

[frigid finch]

i never run into those guys when i have just a pistol lol

[merry swift]

Its also that every time you die with rat gear you make less of a mental note of it cause it doesnt matter

[stray cargo]

most of my kills are with mosin/vpo215/mp5k so you are probably right xDDD

[alpine mural]

the 90 bp ammo run is real, 6 raids lost in a row

over 3 mil in kits losst

[merry swift]

So it may also just feel like your kitted runs are much worse

[merry swift]

Mp5k jfc why would you do that

[alpine mural]

mp5 slaps

leg meta with gt

[merry swift]

Mp5k=/=mp5

[stray cargo]

bro listen I have this mp5k that always came back from insurance it has claimed 3 chads already

[alpine mural]

aye man, 50 rnd mag can still go inside a mp5k

[stray cargo]

and no I head them with 20 round mags pst gzh

[merry swift]

Sure it goes into a glock too

[ripe temple]

vector 9mm has 50 round mag too

[merry swift]

I believe it, nobody wants to pick that shit up

[alpine mural]

9mm vectors are not as scvary as 45 doe

[merry swift]

Best 9mm gun still

[ripe temple]

if you have pbp its pretty scary

[stray cargo]

yeah but I always end up dying to their friend because 2 is more than one...

[alpine mural]

vs ap?

ACP AP
No F. M.

70

70 flesh dmg

[merry swift]

Happens

[ripe temple]

i'm not comparing .45ap to 9mm pbp

i'm just saying vector 9mm with PBP is plenty scary

[alpine mural]

am i seriously gonna have to wear this untar armor

[ripe temple]

you saying you dont wanna look like a blue berry?

[merry swift]

I just dont see why youd run an mp5k over any other smg

Its so bad

So much recoil

Bad ammo

Low cap mags

[spiral flicker]

50 rounder mp5k

[stray cargo]

true

xDDDD

with a zoom scope for good measure

[merry swift]

Assuming hes low level

Otherwise im even more confused

[stray cargo]

yes I am but I will swear by this gun until I die

[spiral flicker]

Mp5k with 20x scope and 20 rounders

[stray cargo]

the scalpel

[merry swift]

Cool that wont take long considering youre running mp5k

[stray cargo]

ask that vss chad from yesterday what he thinks about that buut I think you will need a quija board

[merry swift]

A chad who didn't run a faceshield

Alrighty

Press X to doubt

[stray cargo]

it might take 20 rounds but it still works :)))

also yes he wasnt running all tier 6 armor and shit but my first wipe ass has a different look on who is a chad

[soft pivot]

Just started playing yesterday. Didn't realize how toxic the community can be or that you can team kill until after I try to play my first real match and instantly im dead and lost so much stuff lol

[stray cargo]

bruh

[dry scaffold]

anyone available for a shoreline run? i need to locate some groups

[stray cargo]

did you take the best shit from your starting gear or what

[soft pivot]

Oh yeah not just once either, my dumbass did it twice thinking maybe the first time was a fluke. Now I just run solo and keep to myself. Hoping this discord server will help me avo8d making dumb decisions again

[stray cargo]

well I only got an intentional team killer once in my group here, just try to get some nicer ppl honestly

if you wanna hop on a scav I am free and you cant realy lose anything

[soft pivot]

Oh yeah for sure. I thought league was toxic lol it ain't got nothing on tarkov. I'm heading to bed rn but will be back tomorrow

[merry swift]

Yea it's rough

Like

Nobody uses the public group system for this reason

It goes unpunished

Find teams on this or other discords

Those are moderated for teamkillers

[stray cargo]

true i think you can report ppl from the server as teamkillers

[merry swift]

Don't sweat your initial gear too much though it's mostly garbage that you will 100% lose one way or another

Imagine TKing somebody over a stock M4 though that's some fucking poverty shit

[merry swift]

Different kinds of toxicity I think

[soft pivot]

Yeah im not to worried about it I've already collected better gear from it. It was funny instant spawn guy says "hi fellas" dead

[merry swift]

I think as a whole the tarkov community is better than the average MOBA community

[stray cargo]

true

[merry swift]

Although they do really like complaining

Justified in many ways, too

[stray cargo]

until you try exiting at D2

XDDD

[brittle canyon]

I think as a whole people should stop generalizing

[merry swift]

Kek

[soft pivot]

Then the second time I thought I was good, we spawned and they run ahead a bit say "hey buddy you new to tarkov" then turned around and shot me

[merry swift]

I play mobas and tarkov so I feel like I can compare the two

Yea just dont bother wiht public grouping mate

Aint worth

[stray cargo]

if you hear that sentence in any game you start shooting first

[merry swift]

Just because no1 uses it for good all that's left are these type of people

[stray cargo]

true shit

[merry swift]

I wonder how often they get into a group with eachother and its just a 0:00 shootout

[stray cargo]

its just the 3 spidermen finger gunning each other meme

[merry swift]

except for with actual guns

I kinda wonder how its worth tho

I doubt you ever get anything good from it

Anyone who can build decent kits already knows not to use it

[mighty tendon]

Hey all! Just got back in to the game after many years. I have run in to this, I believe one cheater. He is almost naked, takes a mag to the head and don’t go down. He swishes to melee and just takes you out. Anyone run in to this problem? I

[brittle canyon]

vid?

I mean that's what tagilla does

[slender lily]

With a few exceptions I’ve met nothing but psychopaths playing Tarkov. My average encounter they start shooting

Last night I was killed three times by other Skavs while skaving

[brittle canyon]

I mean you're playing a game about shooting people

[slender lily]

Oh yeah just would be nice to meet someone who chats

Like I shot a guy last night. Didn’t notice until I had him on my M700 scope that he had no armour and just a pistol

So I pulled the shot and called out to him. “Sorry man I didn’t know you only had a pistol”

Guy keeps shooting at me

With a P226

Like I even just waited a couple of minutes so he could have run off

Guy pushes me

So I don’t say “psychopaths” lightly

He was level 27 too the crazy bastard

[brittle canyon]

so you shot him or not

[slender lily]

Of course I shot him

He was coming right at me Gerry

I see myself as mr Pink in Tarkov. I didn’t create this situation I’m just dealing with it

[brittle canyon]

so you shot him, and he's a psycho for shooting back?

[stray cargo]

well ppl like this are often desperate for loot, and what are you gonna lose? 20k rubles? even less cuz no one picks that shit up, you as a pistoling, can only gain loot you cant lose it, why not play like a mad man

[slender lily]

I took his pistol but only to send a message

If you want loot just go downstairs in Reserve with about ten minutes left in the raid. Usually like the end of the Wild Bunch down there

For some reason it’s also started happening in Woods

[terse blade]

any beginners need assistance?

I am happy to help with quests showing maps etc. 🙂

[slender lily]

That’s the kind of thing a guy who would shoot you over a stock m4 would say

[brittle canyon]

what message

[slender lily]

Stop being a psychopath

Probably all hyped up on Monster

[brittle canyon]

self defence = psychopath??

bro u shot him

besides who even cares, you're a pmc, he's a pmc, shooting at eachother is the most rational outcome given what the game literally is about

[slender lily]

I didn’t shoot him I pulled the shot

[brittle canyon]

?

[slender lily]

That was after he pushed me

With just a pistol

[brittle canyon]

so

you just voiped the guy and said shoot me

if you want to negotiate peace at least prove that you're a threat

could take his legs out or whatever

[slender lily]

Yeah. I always start negotiations by crippling people

I think I’m talking to what I’m talking about

[brittle canyon]

lmao

bunch of ex-pmcs fighting for survival in a barricaded city with armed nutjob locals and somehow you're supposed to negotiate before shooting eachother

[slender lily]

Be nice to have a chat is all I’m saying

[brittle canyon]

how is the other guy supposed to trust you

[rigid light]

are there just no RB-ST keys on the flea

[brittle canyon]

is double quest key and tankbat spawn

so wouldn't be surprised

[robust robin]

You get it from a quest reward

[rigid light]

yeah, part 7

seven

[robust robin]

Might aswell just do that then

[rigid light]

who do you think i am i haven't even done part 1

[robust robin]

Its only scav kills

Spa tour is either go to this place or hand in this item, and 1 scav kill quest

[grizzled echo]

What gear do I look or sjould go for the first stage after beggjners?

I’m trying to create goals but don’t know what to do

[brittle canyon]

goal is simple do quests

[robust robin]

Level up is your main goal

[brittle canyon]

build hideout

etc

[spiral flicker]

Quests and lvl up is basically the same thing

[grizzled echo]

How

[rugged badge]

go to hideout, press build on building

[grizzled echo]

But besides that, what weapon or gear do I try to buy or go for

[rugged badge]

as a beginner SKS

[rigid light]

i'll bite

best 12 gauge for shoreline?

[robust robin]

153

[rigid light]

and what ammo besides 50 bmg, flechette and ap 20

[stray cargo]

sks or a mosin are pretty good and if you get a good shot in you can kill geared ppl too

[rugged badge]

yup

I like the SKS as it's dirt cheap and PS ammo slaps

[stray cargo]

poleva - 6u, magnum (even express)

[rugged badge]

and OP SKS has a bunch of decent cheap scopes

[brittle canyon]

gun anything that shoots 762 ps or 12ga (craft 8.5 magnum)
armor no armor or class 3 or above
helmet no helmet until toilet lv2 built (wear headgear to conceal baldness)

[grizzled echo]

Aleight I’ll try, but I should save my mp5s and m4s?

[brittle canyon]

flech ap20 magnum
no bmg

[brittle canyon]

mp5 is bad but not terrible
m4 is terrible at your current state

[grizzled echo]

How do I check my level

[stray cargo]

overall

[grizzled echo]

That’s a tab?

[stray cargo]

yes

[grizzled echo]

Alright, thanks guys

[rigid light]

is magnum good enough for medium range

also

what are the good scav spawns on shoreline

[brittle canyon]

only ap20 for medium and even then the moa is very bad

[rigid light]

I don't wanna go to the resort that's where all the scary Pee Em Cees are

[slender lily]

Usually two snipers on the roof of the power station and another floating around the base

You can snipe them with little to no risk

[rigid light]

what would be a good sight for a shotgun

[serene reef]

scabs

normally routes ill take

• gotta consider if you're gonna wait till end of raid

cause shoreline is like what 45 min?

there's a decent difference between end of raid spawns and early raid spawns

like you can kill 1 - 2 scavs on heps early game but they will keep spawning

like the sniper scav there often doesn't spawn till like 5min later or more

so you might be looking at 1 scav at those places early, but 3 scavs later

[rigid light]

i could also just pack this

[wise ether]

Missing 2 klechs

Idk how tf you spell it

The bigass flashlights

[rigid light]

alright version 2.0

wait i can do better

[wise ether]

Huge plays

[rigid light]

Perfection.

[woeful spruce]

with the straight grip this build is whats known as half a nunchuck

[wise ether]

❤️

[rigid light]

this can also be used as a bat

[serene reef]

POCKET ROCKET

[rigid light]

damn right it is a pocket rocket

[serene reef]

NONO NOON

[serene reef]

THIS IS A POCKET ROCKET

[rigid light]

damn, an eotech on the pocket rocket?

are you drowning in cash

[serene reef]

i need no money this wipe

i got to 35mil last wipe playing kits i got from other players and ya know

not going all out

[dark wyvern]

recoil will be too high, put an rk2 and prs gen 3 on it

[serene reef]

im not struggling with money tho, no

[serene reef]

NO

no stock

rk2 can do

[dark wyvern]

also not equipped for long range, so you should put a vudu on it

[serene reef]

now that i can vibe with

[dark wyvern]

idk why but now scavs automatically follow me and protect me instead of me signaling them to (while im on my scav), does this happen to anyone else with max scav rep

[robust robin]

It happens with usecs

[dark wyvern]

i mean on scav, rn scavs are passive to usecs, they dont protect them

[robust robin]

Oh yeah scavs try to protect you if you are faced with danger 6+ rep, they also listen to your hand signals so you cam set up ambushes and big scav squads

[dark wyvern]

yeah the thing was is that i wasnt near any threats and some ai scavs aggressively approached me wiggled and then followed me

[robust robin]

Maybe he was aggroed a different way

[dark wyvern]

huh, weird

[robust robin]

I hate it when you're in a scav run and see a scav with a meta weapon on his back

[slender lily]

Kill him and take it

[quick lotus]

Lf duo im new

[robust robin]

Yup tried that then got hunted down by scavs

[lusty valley]

that’s how you get crappy sets

[serene reef]

actually

if your rep isnt terrible

you have a slight %chance

that if you press y two times

and signal for the scav to follow you with hand

then they become your companion

[wraith flame]

Yeah but you gotta lose all morals first

[serene reef]

its bad and glitchy

but you can take him to extract

[serene reef]

just roleplay that the scav doesn't want to give you a weapon and is about to kill you

[slender lily]

Get on with the serious business of skaving

You could stand near him and fire into the air to attract PMC’s

[serene reef]

aaaand possibly die

you're prob scavving because you're struggling in pmc fights anyway-

[wet nimbus]

Should I just stop what I’m doing and just try to max out my strength and endurance…?

[mint light]

no

[serene reef]

you can easily just level it up as you go

First, if you spot food in the game, consider immediately eating it

all the apple juice

grand juice

etc

i just chug all the food down including things like squash often unless im empty on loot

Second thing would be to always let your first run be as far as possible

aka don't stop mid run even if you have to run in circles keep running and empty that stamina bar

if you can try to get yourself just under the overweight bar or just above it

to be able to run once for str and once for endu

but that's optional

[wet nimbus]

Okay

@serene reef thanks for the info

[slender lily]

Some people enjoy skaving. I personally love it. I like PMC play too but it’s a lottery most of the time. Hopefully there will be a wipe soon to level the playing field a bit

[brittle canyon]

wipe doesn't level anything

[whole thistle]

Wipe is still 2 or 3 months away

Also scav is a lottery too the loot is random either way lol

[serene reef]

its kinda funny because even at 6rep you can get nothing

like you will still at times spawn with a pistol and nothing in your bag

but while that % chance at 0 is like still a thing at 6 rep it's prob like x/100

also there used to be a funny glitch where you'd always spawn with some really good stuff when the numbers after . were high

for example 0.99 would be better than 3.01

i wonder if they fixed it :o

[quick lotus]

Lfg new to the game

[brittle canyon]

#pvp-lfg

[queen sonnet]

Whats the easiest way to get salewa kits? Every time I go woods, I die to something random (not even a player) and when I go Customs I die to Level 50s camping

Is there any other way?

[dawn geyser]

Customs medical building top floor

ZB-013/Fortress/Stronghold bottom corner loot room

Try nighttime

[queen sonnet]

never any in crackhouse

[serene reef]

EU ?

[queen sonnet]

im eu yh

[serene reef]

wanna do a singular game together :O ?

[reef spoke]

Scaving in woods and heading to the "scav fob" over on the east side of the map near RUAF is a decent place to find em.

Going in as a PMC to get em can be a bit spicy

[queen sonnet]

idk what scav fob is

[queen sonnet]

just tryna get this quest done

been trying 3 days

[serene reef]

[rugged badge]

woods has a lot of out of map places that get you killed but woods is by far the best bet

[reef spoke]

Emercrom camp , pardon, the community can't decide on a name to save their lives.

[rugged badge]

you can find like 3 in a raid sometimes

[serene reef]

SEE PEOPLE CALL IT EMERCOM CAMP

[rugged badge]

emercon camp on woods is where its add

[serene reef]

iirc i was told that's the name a long time ago due to LORE

[rugged badge]

I call it med camp 😅

[serene reef]

good enough

[queen sonnet]

ive been med camp, never find them there either

[serene reef]

its a camp that has meds

✅

[rugged badge]

check the big tent and the shelves / medbacks near the netting exit

[serene reef]

you havent really answered me yaknow

[rugged badge]

bunch of loose spawns for it

there is also a spawn for one in the metal container with dead people

[queen sonnet]

im good ty

[queen sonnet]

doing the quest for the gold pocket watch from the tanker truck and it aint even there?

[limber cliff]

gold lighter or bronze pocket watch

[queen sonnet]

pocket watch

just used the key

[limber cliff]

do you have the quest accepted

and started

[queen sonnet]

yh

just died

got the key from dorms, opened the truck and nothing

do u have to be PMC?

[austere hound]

Yes

[serene reef]

did you pick up the watch from around the feet area?

and yes you have to be a pmc xD

[queen sonnet]

prolly why then

bruh

[austere hound]

The only task progress you can make on a scav run is finding items that need to be FIR

[bold kernel]

The key will always be in the same jacket in dorms

If you ever need it again

[queen sonnet]

yh on my way again

[bold kernel]

I still need that quest but I’m at school rn

[queen sonnet]

these quests sound easy but there hard asf

get killed by level 50s camping 90% of the time

[bold kernel]

Yeah

I hate dorms quests

[prime remnant]

the early quests are balanced around streamer challenges rather than actually anything fitting for beginners

[bold kernel]

That sucks

[dawn geyser]

lol what

There are no tasks that cater to streamers

This game is just designed to be tough

[prime remnant]

not catered towards

[bold kernel]

The quest I have rn are easy just I’ve been too cocky when I should’ve extracted 💀

[woeful spruce]

what about all bosses in one life? i really doubt anyone other than streamers do it really

[woeful spruce]

killa 100 times is just funny with his curent spawns not really tough just comical

[prime remnant]

yes, and the early quests are progress walls that are balanced around slowing down the speedrunners and streamers

[queen sonnet]

this shits ass

honestly cant do these quests

[bold kernel]

Are you trying to get a key

[queen sonnet]

tryna make it to dorms without dying to someone in a bush

[bold kernel]

Tbh how I got the key was

Go in as a scav

Go to the room and get they key

Almost always it’s there because nobody takes it

Then easy extract

[prime remnant]

honestly this, and stick it in your butthole for the next 5-10 attempts getting that watch out with your pmc

[queen sonnet]

tried

got a timer now

[bold kernel]

Yeah I’ve attempted getting the watch like 4 times 💀

Even if customs has some of the easiest extracts to get to and remember I like lighthouse more

Huh

[prime remnant]

I tried helping my friend get that pocket watch out for prapor before we both got (head,eyes) by a -TTV name and he ragequit

dumb quest

same goes for delivery from the past

[wet nimbus]

@bold kernel just play on a different server tbh which one you play on?

[prime remnant]

customs is extremely easy to learn pois and extracts but it’s just a pvp blender

[bold kernel]

I play on US east or something

If it works like that

[meager shell]

How long does it take for an airdrop to come in after it says airspace is congested?

[serene reef]

iirc 5-10min

but i dont remb tbf

[meager shell]

Shit

Ok thanks

[queen sonnet]

where do i go? i got the pocket watch

dorms aint open

and idk which u gotta pay for

[topaz forge]

1011 or 1012 is where you need to go

dorms v ex costs money

1012 is not always open

[heady coral]

in which boxes I can find backpacks (lighthouse)

[topaz forge]

1011 will be your gauranteed extract

[prime remnant]

dorms v-ex is 5k rubles, old gas if you see the green smoke, one of the zb’s if the spotlight is on and another zb is underground like fortress don’t remember which

[serene reef]

normally you would go either towards new gas and to zb11 or continue towards skeleton and make the jump to wh4 and see if old gas or zb12 is opened

[topaz forge]

zb 013 is fortress, requires factory key and power on

[serene reef]

the zb12 is p close to zb11 anyway

[heady coral]

help xD

[serene reef]

both old gas and zb12 are ones that arent always on but when they;re on they're free

[serene reef]

scavs

[bold kernel]

Duffel bags is good I think

[topaz forge]

the big green weapon boxes

[queen sonnet]

died again gonna go kms

[heady coral]

fucking shit, tarkov devs should go and touch some grass and check how fucking sound works

[dawn geyser]

[prime remnant]

i’m scared of the upcoming sound changes regardless, with the current state

[topaz forge]

removing steam audio

[unreal horizon]

wait tarkov has audio issues?

your perception knows no bounds

[fervent ermine]

i never realized this was an issue wtf

[unreal horizon]

how could they do this to us

[reef spoke]

No one tell them about desync

[topaz forge]

🤫

[unreal horizon]

desync this netcode that

not one of the people complaining about it could tell me what net code is w/o looking it up

[bold kernel]

giving me bf4 vibes when people constantly bring up netcode

[unreal horizon]

haha

[sacred bay]

What hard drive do yall play tarkov on? Ssd or hdd

I don't understand how ssd is better than hdd, especially in my case with my ssd being 1tb and hdd 3tb

Doesn't more available storage basically mean more optimised and quicker loading?

I'm not well informed on hard drives so feel free to educate me

[bold kernel]

not exactly haha hdds use and write data on these little platters while ssds store data on chips so to speak so they are faster and more efficient while being smaller

[tribal sinew]

Not in the case of ssds

Well let me rephrase

It does get slower but ssds are waaay faster than hdds in 99.9 percent of cases

Even when filled

[sacred bay]

Okay this information is new to me lmao

Thanks guys

[serene reef]

storages often work better when they're empty

you have write and read speed

being able to quickly pull textures from SSD to RAM is a crucial function that tarkov loves

[zinc temple]

an hdd is a literal disc like a dvd so it takes time to get to the right part of the disc while a solid state drive is a chip which can bring up the info instantly

[tribal sinew]

I just use a 1tb ssd for OS and like 2 games and 8tb hdd for random shit

[vale nexus]

What spawns the raider guys in the Reserve bunker and next to one of the big silo extracts? What are they? Raiders/Rogues or what? What spawns them? Who are they hostile to?

[weary tiger]

what would be a helmet on which I can put faceshield + headphones ?

[vale nexus]

If you have any of the pieces, just do a linked search

[austere hound]

Exfil black for sure. It's a pretty booty face shield though. The only face shields worth running this point in the wipe all prevent ears from being worn

[weary tiger]

fair enough

[austere hound]

It could still save you from some scav ammo though. Just doesn't do a thing in the vast majority of PvP fights.

[serene reef]

even paca saves you from 7mm buckshots scavs

[jagged laurel]

Laughs in richochet chance

[distant fable]

question to the chads here : are you overweighted from the start of the round with your gear ?

[mint light]

always

[unreal horizon]

you should be

unless max str which most dont have

[distant fable]

ooh okay, my dumb ass thought i always had to be underweighted at tre start

[dawn geyser]

Unless you're focused on running a mobility kit

It's normal to start raid "overweight"

[jagged laurel]

Kwon was here

[languid vale]

Lvl 20 endurance lvl 47 strength🥸

[tardy crescent]

Most kits this wipe have you overweight

[bold kernel]

How can i improve seeing enemies? I never see them whether theyre sniping or shooting at me and i die out of nowhere

[tardy crescent]

Only time I haven't been is with MP7 kits and next to naked kits

[jagged laurel]

It takes time

In general you check certain areas

[tardy crescent]

Spotting people comes with experience

[languid vale]

Hard to improve seeing people rather try to improve where you run and how

[tardy crescent]

I don't doubt you could tweak settings for better visibility but I'm not sure how you would go about that

I've played for a long time and there are still people I can't see

Big thing is to figure out where your getting shot from

[jagged laurel]

Just check camping angles

[tardy crescent]

Yeah

[jagged laurel]

There’s very specific ones that must people hold

[tardy crescent]

When I get shot at by someone I instantly check the spots I'd sit in

[jagged laurel]

But even after 8k hours I still get caught off guard and don’t see someone

[tardy crescent]

Do some in-raid investigation

[bold kernel]

Ok

[tardy crescent]

the tldr is game sense

learn the maps and all the little spots

Really makes it easier to pin point where you are getting shot from

[jagged laurel]

Also record your games

And watch your deaths back

[tardy crescent]

Even if you don't see or hear the guy

[median hornet]

what would happen if u joined someones looking for group and as soon as you spanwd in with them you kill them

[jagged laurel]

If your serious about improving

[tardy crescent]

Map knowledge can steer you into his direction

[jagged laurel]

In the discord?

[tardy crescent]

If you did it in the discord I'm guessing a ban

[median hornet]

in the game

[jagged laurel]

Nothing

[tardy crescent]

But outside of it noting

[jagged laurel]

Free loot

[median hornet]

oo ok but very scummy tho

[jagged laurel]

I’ve done it with 5 man’s on labs

[tardy crescent]

Nothing in game that prevents you from killing teammates

[jagged laurel]

Very

But easy thermals

[median hornet]

u msutve got alot of loot from that

[tardy crescent]

Not gonna get in trouble or anything for acting like a bum

[jagged laurel]

Nah

I don’t do it often

Did it for some content

[tardy crescent]

I'll murder player scavs and friendly PMCs

[dawn geyser]

Hedgie how goes the day

[jagged laurel]

Like 3 wipes ago

[dawn geyser]

[shut flint]

someone want to help get pocket watch on customs? JPEA

[tardy crescent]

But I won't queue with someone just to kill them

Well maybe if I didn't like them

[jagged laurel]

Exam that I’m not prepared for in 30 min

[dawn geyser]

Wing it

[jagged laurel]

That’s the plan

30% grade here I come

[median hornet]

what exam is it/

[jagged laurel]

Math 375

[dawn geyser]

When your survival rate is higher than your % in academics

[median hornet]

oo good luck

[dawn geyser]

[jagged laurel]

Very much so

[tardy crescent]

I bombed my math mid term

The calculator my teacher told me to buy was not at all capable of doing the formulas I needed it to

[dire folio]

I have a 90% in my math rn

My sr is much lower

[tardy crescent]

I'm not good at math regardless

I was proud of my 85%

Now I'm scared to look at it

[dire folio]

Im in my super easy math rn

Next semester is the harder math

[tardy crescent]

Even easy math trips me up

[queen sonnet]

can i do this as a scav? or does it have to be pmc

[dire folio]

Pmc

[jagged laurel]

I’m sitting with 58% as a graduate student 🥶

[dire folio]

Can only do fence tasks as a scav

[limber cliff]

the only quests you can do on a scav are ones given by fence or where you have to turn in items found in raid

[jagged laurel]

Also why would you kill scavs as a scav

[queen sonnet]

why not

[tardy crescent]

I'm big chilling in game with a 65% sr I think?

[queen sonnet]

aight ty

[dire folio]

Scav rep will plummit

[tardy crescent]

Working hard for that 69

Finally free me from this wipe

[limber cliff]

fence rep is a currency worth more than rubles

[jagged laurel]

Moist rating of 3.8

[dire folio]

Kine be like 25 qwq

[jagged laurel]

70%

[dire folio]

15 fps factory fucked it

[tardy crescent]

SR is pretty meaningless tbh

Plenty of players better than me with lower ones

[jagged laurel]

I remember a guy with a 85% sr

[tardy crescent]

I've played with some real fuckin freaks

[jagged laurel]

He just sat in bushes with meta gear and would run to extract

Had a 1.0 kd with 85%

[limber cliff]

#1 thermal user

[tardy crescent]

Cringe

[dire folio]

I think my kd is only like 2

[tardy crescent]

I know for a fact my PMC kills are lacking this wipe

[meager shell]

did i get sniped by a border sniper?

[tardy crescent]

Been tagging along with friends getting their quests done I don't really PVP as much as I used to

[limber cliff]

yeah

[jagged laurel]

Homie ran out of da map

[tardy crescent]

I've had plenty of wipes where I was downright freaky and sweaty

[limber cliff]

the signs on customs do not accurately gauge the distance you can run

the only warning you get is getting shot

[jagged laurel]

This wipe is a filler wipe

[limber cliff]

and if you get shot then you're already dead

[tardy crescent]

Nice to sit back a bit and just mess around with the boys

[meager shell]

i was gonna do road to military base and i went into a bush and got 2 tapped in the thorax

[jagged laurel]

Pre inertia gameplay thou

[limber cliff]

idek how you do that

railroad to mili base is literally opposite side of the map

[jagged laurel]

H o r . N y

Interesting

[tardy crescent]

Inertia and recoil really fucked me

[jagged laurel]

That’s a banned word

[tardy crescent]

I've not played much since they were added

[limber cliff]

so glad inertia got added

[tardy crescent]

Feel like I would be stomping on players if I got used to it

[limber cliff]

watching clips of people do apex neostrafes was not fun

[reef spoke]

adapt or die

[jagged laurel]

[median hornet]

whats inertia

[tardy crescent]

All my game sense is there its just I've not bothered to learn inertia or the recoil stuff

[jagged laurel]

Recoil is good

[limber cliff]

inertia is what makes it so you can bhop in opposite directions each strafe

[tardy crescent]

This wipe is the most I've played in a long time

[jagged laurel]

Inertia is fine but it needs some tuning

[tardy crescent]

I kinda want to sit down and get a handle on it

But tarkov is something I only enjoy casually with friends

Maybe when a big wipe happens I'll sit down and get back into it hard

[reef spoke]

inertia could be described as "the thing that causes you from rapidly shifting your movement from one path to the opposite , and keeps ypu moving slightly when you try to stop"

[jagged laurel]

When streets come

[tardy crescent]

smh I'm a Trey lover

[limber cliff]

we all gonna be dead

[tardy crescent]

I don't hate inertia or the recoil changes

[reef spoke]

And even then thats not a great example. tarkov intertia is a bad bandaid covering some pretty horrid flaws

[tardy crescent]

They definitely changed up the game

I remember when weight first came out

People hated it

[dawn geyser]

I still dislike it

[reef spoke]

still uneffected

[bold kernel]

heat death of the universe

[dawn geyser]

Inertia, I dislike, but It does have its perks too

I'm even on it

[tardy crescent]

When weight was first added it was pretty rough

[jagged laurel]

They’ve made it much more ratty with money changes and inertia

[tardy crescent]

But BSG were pretty good at listening to feed back

Still not perfect but its fine

[limber cliff]

they gotta make thermals cheaper

get that rat vision

[languid vale]

Money is basically easier to get than ever

[tardy crescent]

Intertia is whatever with me

I've kinda gotten it down

[jagged laurel]

No

[languid vale]

1 scav run 500k at least

[jagged laurel]

It’s really not

Red room in labs shouldn’t be worthless

[limber cliff]

(they added lighthouse)

[languid vale]

No effort reqired

[limber cliff]

so true

[tardy crescent]

The recoil changes though

Most of what they did isn't something I liked

[jagged laurel]

Hardest key card worst loot

[languid vale]

They made red loot worse and made it unattainable💀

[jagged laurel]

Keys should have a reason to be bought

[tardy crescent]

BSG should just turn labs into what it was when it first came out

Filled with juice

But even now I've seen people get pretty fat on labs

[languid vale]

All i want is to buy cards😅

[limber cliff]

make combat stims cheaper same with colored cards

make thermal goggles cheaper too

[tardy crescent]

BSG really does need to go back and rebalance the price and barter of some items

The G28 barter blows hard

[jagged laurel]

It’s not that you can’t get fat but your paying 250k just to get in

[limber cliff]

labs is not 250k to go in what

[tardy crescent]

Eh I'm not entirely against having labs paywalled

[jagged laurel]

Did they change key card price

This wipe?

[limber cliff]

166k from therapist or free from scavs

[tardy crescent]

I'm not a labs main or have been for a long time so I'm not an authority on labs

[limber cliff]

very easy to get on scavs if you have good rep

it's like every other scav idk why they're so common

[limber cliff]

labs is just too good of a map for what it is

[tardy crescent]

Back when it released (and when I mained it) labs was very very good

Raiders were everywhere stacked with top tier loot, and it was free

[limber cliff]

you go there with infinite use keys with some of the best key rooms in the game, you farm easy to kill raiders for free xp, and you get the most plentiful loot spawns in the game

you can wait the first 20 minutes out of the raid if you suck at pvp and still get the same amount of loot

[tardy crescent]

From what I've seen over the years labs has never been bad loot wise

despite what people constantly moan

[limber cliff]

you go in with black or violet and you can make your keycard cost back with one piece of loot

so it's essentially free to run

[languid vale]

Super easy to make money on labs now with empty lobby 50% of the time

[tardy crescent]

Off the top of my head the only card I can think of thats pretty rough is sanitars card

[jagged laurel]

Still 166k is a lightly moded sr

[tardy crescent]

It is a quest room so I get it

[limber cliff]

card is literally never profit

[tardy crescent]

But its a pretty F tier room for the price you pay

[limber cliff]

i've stopped running it because it spawns like 3 stims tops

[tardy crescent]

Maybe if they gave it 5 or 10 uses it could be decent?

[limber cliff]

10 like a marked key yeah

[tardy crescent]

But having it be a one off and the rest be infinite is wierd

[jagged laurel]

The problem is why would you go labs when lighthouse and reserve exists
