[topaz forge]

rip

[frigid finch]

just a frustrating way to lose it...

like...took zero damage from the first three i killed....and m61 one shots you with level 6 armor? like wtf is that...at least make it take two in the thorax, that is insane

[topaz forge]

fragmentations, ai shooting 2+ bullets in one shot

[frigid finch]

oh, so i died to a bug

[topaz forge]

either that or a fragmentation

yea

you cant really know unless it shows more than 2 hits

[frigid finch]

so a 13% chance or a bug lol...so either way just fucking horrid luck

[topaz forge]

yea

[frigid finch]

and it didnt, it was literally one crack and i fell over

[topaz forge]

i mean if there was one crack and it was 3+ shots you know it was the bug

if its 2 its either the bug or a fragmentation

[unreal horizon]

cant fragment onto thorax so bug

[topaz forge]

pmcs cant

[frigid finch]

it was literally one crack and i died...i figured it was a headshot but showed thorax in the kill screen

[topaz forge]

cant really test if scavs can

[frigid finch]

ugh its whatevs...i just have to tell myself i wouldve lost it legitimately eventually...just sucks cause i cant even buy that gun again

[topaz forge]

youll get back to it soon enough

and its pretty common from people

[frigid finch]

also sucks cause if i solod those bosses they prolly wouldve had amazing loot

[topaz forge]

yea they got some good stuff

[frigid finch]

first time ive ever even seen them lol....they chased after me over a hill and i just destroyed the three with the bp ammo....then was like "sweet, i killed 3" and was like immediately one tapped, figured it was a player or something...nope lol

[jaunty fulcrum]

What makes a reflex sight better

[topaz forge]

better than what

and on what gun

[jaunty fulcrum]

Arnt they just all holo scopes

Better than the cheaper ones

Like what difference does it make?

[topaz forge]

some sights have really bad reticles

some reflexes suck

some holos suck

some reflexes are good

some holos are good

theres some preference

[frigid finch]

i hate all the ones that seem to have a non static dot...they are horrific to use

[pearl copper]

was the goons on shoreline just now?

[frigid finch]

yea, at the weather station, killed 2 of the 3

wtf is this cache lol

[bold kernel]

a w stash

[sacred bay]

You better had not left that pp9 behind

[frigid finch]

i definitely did lol

[outer prairie]

just killed my first 2 man

[frigid finch]

nice, it feels fucking good doesnt it?

[clever shard]

Visual recoil, reticle and how big the area around the reticle is

[outer prairie]

yeah, caught em with their pants down looting

[clever shard]

Some sights will have a very "floaty" reticle that bounces around when you shoot. Some will have a large, blurry reticle. And some will have a "case" that takes up too much space on your screen

However most sights will work

[slate copper]

what free 140k right they sell for 70k or was it 40k

[clever shard]

Depends on the time

You're right tho I think

[slate copper]

i feel like it was 40k but i remember the tan one being more expensive because it has better ammo or something

[clever shard]

No it has a space for a foregrip

The black has a built in foregrip

[fringe cobalt]

hi

[white ore]

i have a server for chads & timmies, new players welcome. dm me to join!

[jaunty fulcrum]

Which ones the best holo sight in your opinion

Cuz im using the mrs,

Alot

I dont have access to flea yet tho

[mint light]

mrs is not a holo

[edgy plover]

EKP-Kobra from Jaeger is 100% the best red-dot early on for the price

[mint light]

ff3 is crazier

[edgy plover]

I find ff3 not as good at longer ranges

[celest harbor]

Anyone wanna run labs with me and a friend, both kinda new to labs

[edgy plover]

Make sure you toggle through the reticle options on the ekp, most people use the chevron without the dot as it gives the finest point

[jaunty fulcrum]

The ^ ?

Idk what a chevron is lol

[edgy plover]

Yea that

[unreal horizon]

arrow

the hat that goes on french letters

[edgy plover]

Often not changing pronunciation at ALL

Sorry I have beef with the french language

[jaunty fulcrum]

Ew fr*nch

Their cities suck, their jets are just kites, they speak like they have a bomb in their nose

i assume this goes for a small fortune on flea?

[limber cliff]

Not rly

[unreal horizon]

i have beef with more than the language

👿

[bold kernel]

what does the last sentence even mean?

[unreal horizon]

hon hon hon

[jaunty fulcrum]

^

[bold kernel]

the way you said this has me cracking me lmao

[jaunty fulcrum]

lmao why

[bold kernel]

im still confused i dont exactly listen to french people talking

[jaunty fulcrum]

they have alot of nasal sounds or some shit

hard to describe

[bold kernel]

i think i get it lmao

[unreal horizon]

it's in your best interest to keep it that way

[topaz forge]

im late but ekp chevron is cracked

[hoary birch]

I joined a random dude got shot in the head immediately lol

First experience ever 🥲

[mint light]

dont use in game lfg

[gusty acorn]

Anyone willing to help a solo out with sew it good part 3 😄

[hoary birch]

OK noted thank you

[river rampart]

Use #pvp-lfg in this discord, and if they teamkill you, and you have video proof (that also shows the discord ALT TABbing or overlay) we ban them from here.

[hoary birch]

Thank you!

[frigid finch]

i think this was my best scav run ever lol

[smoky oracle]

NICE

ANYONE FOR A SCAV ON INTERCHANGE

[clever shard]

The EXPS-0 (peacekeeper 2) is pretty popular, I like the OKP-7 dovetail personally, it isn't a holo sight, but it is functionally the exact same thing (I assume by holo you mean a 1x sight.) The problem with that optic is that the good version is only available as a dovetail. The delta point (peacekeeper 2) is also cool.

[bold kernel]

The intel folder is the only worth while thing out of all that

[frigid finch]

says the guy in beginners assistance chat who clearly needs a lot of that shit cause they dont have access to it yet

[bold kernel]

Some one is salty 🤣

[mint light]

very good

[frigid finch]

lol, whatever helps you sleep at night

[mint light]

golden star, wfilter, intel, badge

[bold kernel]

New players don’t have the knowledge to know this so don’t tell them

[frigid finch]

lol you are kind of a piece of shit

[mint light]

why would i make someones life harder

[bold kernel]

Ok

if I cared enough I’d actually be helpful

[frigid finch]

lol so why say anything in this chat at all? is your life that empty you feel the need to waste your time here?

[bold kernel]

Nope i just enjoy trolling new players

[frigid finch]

you didnt even troll me though? i know how to check prices of shit, i knew it was a good run...like, you accomplished nothing lol

[bold kernel]

3 of those items were worth while. The guns and the gear and all the rest of that shit was worthless

[mint light]

he is low lvl

[frigid finch]

its not worthless when you are level 15 and dont have access to that shit yet...hell the ammo alone is huge for me cause i cant buy it

[bold kernel]

What ammo?

[frigid finch]

120 5.45 BT

[bold kernel]

BT is a decent round

[mint light]

i actually wouldnt use that

if ur lvl 15

[frigid finch]

yea obviously...so you sound even dumber

[bold kernel]

Ok

[frigid finch]

just curious why?

[mint light]

u have better options

and 5.45 is dogshit as fuck

like actually awful

[frigid finch]

i just use whatever guns i have right now, so its not bad to throw in guns that i have

[mint light]

id use flechette prolly

im also a 7.62 ps fan. armor damage and flesh is crazy

[frigid finch]

i use that a decent amount when i have to do pvp contested shit

[frigid finch]

i had a great run earlier with an rd704 and BP ammo that ended cause i killed 2 bosses and a scav...thought it was 3 bosses i killed, and got one tapped in the thorax by M61 lol

[bold kernel]

Good ammo and decent gun will do that

But I’m assuming the dude that killed had a svds or m1a if he was using m61

[mint light]

was it insured

[frigid finch]

no, it was the third boss that killed me...and he one tapped me through level 6 armor with the m61...someone told me it was the stupid ai firing two bullets bug

[mint light]

birdeye

[mint light]

probably

[frigid finch]

nah, i was stupid and forgot

[mint light]

watch this shit lol

guess where i died

[frigid finch]

dude wtf lol

where?

[bold kernel]

Insuring does nothing as most times I insure something I don’t get it back so I wouldn’t even waste my money insuring

[mint light]

stomach

3 bullets out of an sv98

in one chamber

cool

[frigid finch]

holy shit....i would be so pissed

[clever shard]

great, balanced bug

[bold kernel]

Ah yes tarkov at its finest

[mint light]

i got it through insurance i didnt care lol

[bold kernel]

Everyone is running that same sr25 build now idk why is it actually good or is it a big streamer used it and now everyone has to follow in his steps

[mint light]

its the meta one

[topaz forge]

its good

[mint light]

i just started using split handguard

looks cooler

[bold kernel]

Ah ok explains a lot honestly

[mint light]

also looks cool and has 6 flashlight locations

plus mlok rail for afg

[dusty kernel]

Hello guys, just wondering, i'm a lvl 9, spammed factory all the way so far (only map i can navigate properly) and i wanted to start building my hideout, but i REALLY gotta hit another map to do so. I'm assuming the mall one (shoreline?), but... no idea where to start and, or, navigate inside it lol

[bold kernel]

I’ve been running the m1a and all103 a lot

[mint light]

factory as a new player is super unhealthy

[dusty kernel]

i know it's like a deathmatch map

[bold kernel]

Map genie

[dusty kernel]

but idk, i actually live and get stuff there lol

Map genie?

[bold kernel]

Let’s u Learn the maps and give u all the info u could possibly want

[dusty kernel]

huh, let me take a look

[mint light]

doubt it

most awake woods player ever

[bold kernel]

factory is legit how u improve at pvp

[mint light]

nah

factory pvp is dogshit

super easy, everyone is low lvl

its not real pvp

[bold kernel]

What is that res💀

[mint light]

4:3

[bold kernel]

Gross

[mint light]

looks cool

[bold kernel]

Gives a new player the real experience of tarkov dying a lot to bullshittery 🤷‍♀️ and forces them to not think it’s call of duty

[dusty kernel]

it's rly smooth too, i like it

[mint light]

i play it like its cod

[jaunty fulcrum]

Wait I thought chads ruled that place

[mint light]

there is no bullshittery on factory

ur just kill people with no brain

[bold kernel]

They don’t

[mint light]

braindead people and grenadier in mid wipe

thats the entire map

[jaunty fulcrum]

Guess imma try a game on factory later

[bold kernel]

Shoreline resort is where I like to pvp 💀

[mint light]

if u want actual fast paced pvp play labs

or reserve

[jaunty fulcrum]

Nah i suck at pvp

[bold kernel]

That shit is fun

[jaunty fulcrum]

I need to get used to killing scavs first

Almost there

[bold kernel]

if u can’t pvp u won’t make it far in tarkov

[mint light]

thats the entire game

[jaunty fulcrum]

I mean i got 50 hours and 13% survival rate

[dusty kernel]

is leg meta still a thing?

[jaunty fulcrum]

Still alot to go

Yea

[mint light]

leg meta isnt a meta

its just a term used for bullets that hit legs

the only leg bullets that are not hot ass are magnum and shrap 10 and .45 rip

[bold kernel]

I have like 1300 and it’s my 3rd wipe and I’m still mediocre at pvp but I’m still killing shit very consistently

[lost sky]

for the thicc item case quest do you guys craft your ledex or try to find it?

[mint light]

craft

https://streamable.com/x1uhsg

[bold kernel]

Craft

[mint light]

new peek is goober

bless up new movement

[jaunty fulcrum]

Wasnt there like a dive roll in this game, or at least they considered adding it?

[mint light]

it was an exploit

[jaunty fulcrum]

Ah

[mint light]

just morphed ur body lol

[bold kernel]

Never really looked into what it was all about I just was like “ye cool”

[mint light]

it was rly annoying

if u liked labs

everyone just exploiting dolphin dive

[bold kernel]

I prefer shoreline resort or reserve for pvp

[mint light]

audio abuse map

[jaunty fulcrum]

Where they able to shoot normally during the dive or was the hitbox messed up

[mint light]

yes

[jaunty fulcrum]

Damn both?

[mint light]

just go find a youtube video lol

[bold kernel]

Hit registeration is already bad enough in the game

[jaunty fulcrum]

I see i loose connection to server alot in the top right corner

[mint light]

the tech update did that

everyone getting packet loss every once in a while

[bold kernel]

Yep it sucks

[mint light]

shitty wipe

[jaunty fulcrum]

One game i played i would get 100% packet loss for like 6 seconds often

Had to use a vpn to fix that

Idk if a vpn will have ab impact on this case

[lime yoke]

Anyone know how to stop my mouse from moving onto my second monitor while trying to play tarkov on my first monitor? This has never happened before

[fluid linden]

how rare is dorm marked 314 from intel folder?

[warm sundial]

Very pog drop

[warm flax]

Hey guys, anyone know how to fix batteye error 1275?

[fluid linden]

is it rare?

[limber cliff]

i mean its dorms marked

yeah

[warm sundial]

Not obviously

[limber cliff]

[mellow plume]

faxxxxxx

😻

[tepid arrow]

You can also buy em from jaeger if you don’t feel like searching for em

[slow vortex]

how do i quickly swap things that i find in raid into my inventory

[dire folio]

Items, weapons, or armor

[zinc canopy]

alt +left click to equip stuff
control+left click to take and put in rig or bag

[slow vortex]

bet, thank you.

[frigid finch]

so i just did my favorite thing ever....in the 3 story dorm in customs, i had to go to room 220 for a quest...as i got in, i heard someone move to camp me trying to escape in the hall....i waited like 25 minutes cause screw him, was watching a show the whole time, since he refused to push like a little rat piece of trash...then i ran straight across the hall, shot out the window, jumped onto the crates below, and sprinted away as i heard him try to chase after me...fuck that little rat

[worthy imp]

is the vss worth using early as it has early access to good ammo and is rather cheap?

[bold kernel]

anyone know why my guns isnt full auto

attachments

[wispy marten]

That the .366 version? It’s only single fire, there is no full auto for that

[fickle plume]

can someone tell me where i am

[fickle plume]

on the mapgenie map

[serene reef]

you're at woods old village

[fickle plume]

Ty

[serene reef]

this is the church you're l at

[fickle plume]

thanks

[lusty crow]

easiest way to get non scav ak74u. i need it for a quest and sold the one it gave me. needs to be over 60 durability

[woven fiber]

this is such a good quest, only if there were pmcs on woods

[fierce narwhal]

i'm running woods as pmc and last 3 runs got killed by other pmc. seems like there are pmc on woods to me

[oblique ruin]

Ur using a Vpo-136 which is semi only weapon

[oblique ruin]

Do u have friends?

That daily is so easy to do if u got friends

[woven fiber]

will need to get on a dead server ig then

[proven marlin]

Can lvl 10 get mid range and long range scope?

Also how do u use the gun edit thing

I just edit and done?

Or can u buy the thing that u edit

[whole thistle]

Look at the name of the gun, it's a vpo not an akm

[woven fiber]

can someone tell me how one absorbs 6 bullets of bp

[lusty crow]

another dogtag to add to the collection 😄

actually used hipfire to drop someone. then got blown up by a mine and fucked my legs

[whole thistle]

Bruh lmao

[lusty crow]

and hobbled on a pain killer fueled expedition to extraction bc its the one time i forgot to bring splints

also this is an issue. i am going towards gunfire to try get better at pvp and lose some gear but i keep getting more gear xD

[whole thistle]

Nah that's ok

Good way to learn

[lusty crow]

yeah

i have an m4 with a 100 round mag im tryna lose cuz its low calibre so eh. and it shreds xD

[static turret]

if you shoot 3 into level 6 helmet, en 3 into level 6 armor, then he can easely take it

[lusty crow]

also. DAMN ibuprofen is goooooood

[whole thistle]

True

[neon fulcrum]

Ratatata

its funny weapon

im gonna do some more runs wiht it

[mint light]

wtf is that build lol

[neon fulcrum]

its not supposed to be good, its supposed to be funny haha

[mint light]

dont disrespect sa58

gotta have good build

[neon fulcrum]

yes ik that there are good builds, but this is just funny messing around with

[whole thistle]

Im surprised the mrs doesn't fly off your gun

[neon fulcrum]

hehehe

i *could * take of the stock tho

[oblique ruin]

Limbs

[fickle plume]

What should i do with this?

[neon fulcrum]

if u have a map u want to go on thats good for snipe or smth like that, use it

[left summit]

bro bought this to factory only to die to an impact nade sad story

[noble nebula]

I would recommend you use it but I would wait until you have lvl 4 to lvl 5 armour

[whole thistle]

He probably already got a use out of it from the durability lol

[left summit]

could be yes he also was level 56 so no big lose for him

[neon fulcrum]

@whole thistle @mint light it works tho lmaoo, and i found another cursed gun user, but i couldnt kill him. I damaged him and scavs got him after

[fickle plume]

does that work?

[bold kernel]

stinky build

[whole thistle]

Sure but also bring a backpack lol

And maybe reload those mags

[noble nebula]

It’s a good kitted gun so if you can hit shots you can turn that gun into pretty good loot

[bold kernel]

use this

[neon fulcrum]

bro do u even know what was going on

no

[bold kernel]

i don’t i just think that was an odd build lmao

[noble nebula]

Is this a good gun I found it on a body

[neon fulcrum]

i was doing cursed gun run with SA-58 and found the SKS on another cursed gun user.

[neon fulcrum]

@bold kernel

lol

[dawn geyser]

Tell me it isn't so.

[noble nebula]

It had “devastator” slugs in it

[dawn geyser]

It's doodoomcpoodle

[bold kernel]

ohh i just saw it lmao was that a pmc or scav?

[dawn geyser]

Don't ever use it

[noble nebula]

It looks pretty good

[dawn geyser]

You can run it if you want

You won't survive

[neon fulcrum]

thats was a scav, but i got the SKS from a pmc

got 2 more clips xD

[neon fulcrum]

no no u dont understand, Cursed it goood very gooood

[whole thistle]

Super shit

[unreal horizon]

tbh I'm starting to think thermals shouldn't be in the game

[whole thistle]

It's a bolt action shotgun

[lusty crow]

is there any way you can rename or label containers

[neon fulcrum]

ye

[unreal horizon]

right click and tag

[lusty crow]

nice tyty

[unreal horizon]

make sure to name it something goofy

[noble nebula]

Also what is this i found it in a barrel cache on a scav run

[whole thistle]

Air drop flare

[dawn geyser]

[noble nebula]

What does an airdrop give

Is it when that really loud plane comes over

[whole thistle]

Yeah

It drops right where you shot the flare up

[noble nebula]

How much does it sell for on the flea

I’m level 14

[whole thistle]

Could have meds, armor, weapons, just loot, food

[whole thistle]

Can't sell it

[noble nebula]

About to be 15

[noble nebula]

Oh ok

So it’s best to get some friends around and use it?

[neon fulcrum]

air drop is risky but super good

[noble nebula]

Ok

[whole thistle]

Only if you want to split the loot lol

[noble nebula]

The trick is betrayal

Just betray your friends at extract

[cloud marsh]

🤨🤨

sus.

[serene reef]

this is fine till your friend steals the kill from you while you're using 54R BT adn they're using x39 PS

and the kill is a test drive rssas m1a with reapir 👀

[mystic tendon]

anybody down to help me with the starter tasks in factory?

[weary zodiac]

can anyone help with some quests im level 23 and want to level my traders

[edgy plover]

Not any starter tasks in Factory, if you’re new I’d stay away from there for now. Factory is a PVP meat grinder of a map

[mystic tendon]

yeah yeah but I'm not that new I have like 1k hours I just need to stash some file then use the toolsets

[covert silo]

what is the best starter maps to run?

[bold kernel]

woods for mechanics “introduction” task then it’ll fluctuate between woods and customs after so both

[neon fulcrum]

for either risky or safe runs i would do customs, woods should be good too, but i dislike woods

[tender cairn]

alright so lighthouse isn’t for me, where should i go for money runs instead?

[bold kernel]

reserve

[neon fulcrum]

stash runs on customs or interchange? maybe woods too

[neon fulcrum]

reserve is high risk high reward

[tender cairn]

what’s there for me

all the squads play interchange so

[neon fulcrum]

i feel like reserve wants u to feel happy and then immediately kills u

[tender cairn]

i just need quick money for pmc runs

i’ll still scav lighthouse

[neon fulcrum]

stash runs are good, u find all kind of shit in there, even guns helmets armors and backpacks

[tender cairn]

so what map should i do for it?

shoreline has the most right?

i might do nighttime shoreline stash runs

[neon fulcrum]

.

[neon fulcrum]

that could be good too

[tender cairn]

customs is probably too dangerous

maybe interchange though

[neon fulcrum]

i personally really like customs thats why i always do it there

[tender cairn]

woods is gonna be tedious

[tender cairn]

i have mixed opinions on it

[serene reef]

depends really on the location

[whole thistle]

Woods

[neon fulcrum]

i mean u can wiggle urself trough the map without pvp

[serene reef]

the area around military checkpoint and like the power to new gas is much safer

[tender cairn]

it’s still hard to

i only go customs for quests

i don’t get any fun pvp on that map

[neon fulcrum]

im basically customs main lol

[serene reef]

same tbf

[neon fulcrum]

its just simple and clean somehow

[tender cairn]

i’m kind of woods main

[neon fulcrum]

idk, i just like it

i dislike woods lol

[tender cairn]

but it’s still hard to navigate

i’m beginning to get into snipers

[serene reef]

its a v simple flawed map design where the flow is linear

[neon fulcrum]

that and its so much running

[tender cairn]

yep

[serene reef]

i love it too ngl but at the same time its just a diff thing from eg woods

[tender cairn]

customs is like alright

[neon fulcrum]

yeah true

[tender cairn]

i like fighting the scavs but i always die to somebody camping somewhere

i’m getting really unlucky though

spawned at ruaf and om w to old gas

airdrop blocks me

wiped by 3 man

[neon fulcrum]

ye customs is

well

it has some group players

[tender cairn]

literally directly in front of me

[neon fulcrum]

but u can avoid them

[tender cairn]

i was at the bridge roadblock area

the people were on the bridge

no escape for my lowly geared 3 man

i mean like i could do customs stash runs it just depends on the spawns

[jade prairie]

which one is the good ks23 ammo, shrap 10 or 25?

[tender cairn]

i’ll learn here and maybe run it when i’m doing quests

[tender cairn]

flash bang rounds

[bold kernel]

10 does more damage and it’ll be within the range you normally use shotguns at

[serene reef]

shrap 10 deals more dmg while shrap 25 was better for a bit more range as it has better grouping

its 8x9 dmg difference

Tip for beginners: using a shotgun and getting kills with it doesn’t mean your a good player

[neon fulcrum]

someone seems a bit salty

[shut jacinth]

angy fella

[neon fulcrum]

i love customs

[bold kernel]

Most people just use them to compensate for there shitty aim and it’s funny

[neon fulcrum]

1 out of stash, the only stash looted this run lol

and one killed

[shut jacinth]

i feel like it takes better aim to use a shotgun then an smg in this game

[bold kernel]

Not necessarily

[neon fulcrum]

sometimes lmao ye

[shut jacinth]

although shotguns have flechette so

[neon fulcrum]

but rats with shotguns exists

definitly

[shut jacinth]

vector moment

hence why i love it

[neon fulcrum]

lol

i really like my TX-15

[shut jacinth]

i like it too except for the cost

way too damn expensive

[neon fulcrum]

done a few runs with it already and it was always good

[bold kernel]

I use the ak103 and m4 to much

[shut jacinth]

mostly use the .45 vector, an m4, or an rfb

[neon fulcrum]

carbine rifles my beloved

[bold kernel]

tx15

Gross

[neon fulcrum]

i love it

lol

[topaz forge]

tx15 make cool sound

too bad it shoot bad bullet

[shut jacinth]

ew

[shut jacinth]

[neon fulcrum]

rip aki-chan

[bold kernel]

Only good with m995

[neon fulcrum]

headshot :)

[topaz forge]

995 bad

[bold kernel]

a1 isn’t much better

[topaz forge]

55a1 is cheap

[bold kernel]

556 was done dirty and it’s not nearly as good as when I started playing in 12.10 :(

[topaz forge]

yes

hk 995 2 tap thorax

through everything

[bold kernel]

That was fun

[topaz forge]

was never really a huge meta gamer back then but when i did use that it was fun

[bold kernel]

i wasn’t either as it was my first wipe but I remember near the end of the wipe I had so much money I just started running meta guns and had a lot of fun

[neon fulcrum]

im definitly not meta gamer lol, i use what is funny or what i like. I have and know m4 meta build but this is brings me more fun

[topaz forge]

i was addicted to 5.45 aks for most of my time playing

bt was my bullet

and the veprkm with bp

mmm

[bold kernel]

Sounds like me with the rd 704 💀

[topaz forge]

except rd is meta rn

veprkm is just single shot ak

but i really liked it

i just put the tt01 with a pk06 on it lol

i like the rd rn tho

new recoil is shitty so i just use the good guns now

and pk06 got massacred

://

[urban wolf]

im gonna go run the tac 30 on a dmr

i really hate the scope

[dusty vale]

havent really played since last wipe, is the m4 recoil still bad?

[bold kernel]

yes you need to mod it out to make it viable

[jaunty fulcrum]

bruh one tap and the m4 goes to the moon

[austere hound]

Tx-15 gang

[gaunt crow]

[fluid otter]

I am new and have no idea what I’m doing where do I start?

[gaunt crow]

[gaunt crow]

[fluid otter]

I managed a night raid and didn’t run into anybody last night lol

I’m lvl 1

[gaunt crow]

i didnt even know how to extract

[wintry jay]

Anybody willing to help out? Beginner here

[gaunt crow]

i havnt even completed a raid

[neon fulcrum]

what the fuck

[fluid otter]

I found my extract on accident

[neon fulcrum]

🤝

[neon fulcrum]

scav runs

there are tons of yt guids

also mapgenie interactive tarkov map

learn one map at a time

never go factory

lol

[gaunt crow]

ok ok

[wintry jay]

Customs is kicking my ass

Cant get the watch

[neon fulcrum]

i love customs haha

[neon fulcrum]

yep thats in a pvp zone kinda

[gaunt crow]

why not go factory?

[wintry jay]

Funny its always scavs killing me

[neon fulcrum]

its PVP only either people with only shotgun or somebody with ebst gun and armor in the game

also rats that sit in corner with shotgun

[fluid otter]

I did a scav run and got blasted by a scav lol

[gaunt crow]

well then i always go to factory cuz its small lol

[neon fulcrum]

scavs arent really a problem, pretty easy kill but theres a sniper scav on the roof next to u

[gaunt crow]

damn

[neon fulcrum]

not possible really, scavs ai dont shoot scavs, must have been another player scav. But even as player scav u dont shoot other scavs / player scavs cause karma system

[wintry jay]

I've already lost like 5 loadouts

[neon fulcrum]

no pls, i started just like this too. Never go there again

do customs

just open a map and then ur good

[gaunt crow]

alright loll

open a map on google or what? how am i supposed to know where im at?

[wintry jay]

Anybody wanna complete a customs quest?

[neon fulcrum]

just google tarkov map and the first thing is the ebst

[gaunt crow]

ok

[wintry jay]

More like help me

[neon fulcrum]

https://mapgenie.io/tarkov

u can disable all the symbols or just some

so u know where is what

[neon fulcrum]

try either clearing the area before u do it, or just full solo run in and out with knife or pistol lol

[fluid otter]

It was another scav player lol

He bucked me in the face after I spawned in

[wintry jay]

Does it make you Faster?

[neon fulcrum]

a bit, i mean less weight = faster and more stamina

[gaunt crow]

does the mapo tell u the extracts?

[neon fulcrum]

yes

[wintry jay]

Mapgenie does

[gaunt crow]

cuz idk how to extract

[neon fulcrum]

for customs as an example

[fluid otter]

That’s really useful I didn’t know about this

[gaunt crow]

oh ok

[fluid otter]

Wish I had the map yesterday lol

[neon fulcrum]

lmao

once u use a map and go on the same map a few times u wont even need it anymore

[gaunt crow]

so is there a extract where i can go to anytime?

like i seen a vid and it says pmc and scavs can extract like its always open or something

[fluid otter]

Yeah cuz my first pmc raid was just me dropping in. Finding a pressure gauge and walking around in the dark for 25 mins until I came across the railroad bridge extract on shoreline lol

Never ran into anybody but heard people talking and a sniper round sound off

[neon fulcrum]

depends on map and where u spawn

[gaunt crow]

lets say customs

[wintry jay]

I have nvg but im missing the mount

[gaunt crow]

where am i able to extract anytime?

[neon fulcrum]

on customs for example if u spawn on the left side, the extract are probably Dorms-V-Ex, Old gas station, ZB-1012, ZB-1011 and ZB1013 but u can only use ZB 13 with a key and DormsV with 5000 rubles

[dawn geyser]

What map?

[neon fulcrum]

and if u spawn right the same thing

extract at the other side

[gaunt crow]

ok

[neon fulcrum]

u can press O 2 times fast

and ull see ur extracts

[gaunt crow]

like i wanna do it but ima get lost by myself

[neon fulcrum]

thats where the map comes in

u see whats around u, find that on the map and easy

[gaunt crow]

cuz i was in customs yesterday and checked my extracts and none of them were green

do they have to be green to extract?

[neon fulcrum]

no, if u check ur extract u can use all of those most of the time. Some extracts have a chance to work or not work, but they will only be green if u stand in the extract

[jaunty fulcrum]

the ones with xxx:xxxx work only sometimes

[neon fulcrum]

with the ????

ye

[fluid otter]

That explains the boat one missing

[jaunty fulcrum]

the boat one to be there the fire needs to be lit

[neon fulcrum]

yep, smugglers boat, Old gas station and ZB-1012

[jaunty fulcrum]

i think

[neon fulcrum]

ur right

dw

[jaunty fulcrum]

old gas needs green flares to work,

[neon fulcrum]

Yep green flare next to door

[jaunty fulcrum]

or signlas its working

[neon fulcrum]

and ZB-1012 the light above the door needs to be on

[jaunty fulcrum]

that was a bugged exit for a bit no?

you could extract with no light, or the extract wont work with the ligh on

[neon fulcrum]

that

idk

i always go to ZB-1011 either way

lol

[jaunty fulcrum]

zb 1011 is near the 4 big white things right?

near the railroad

[gaunt crow]

is zb 1011 right side or left side of map

[jaunty fulcrum]

right i think

[fluid otter]

Looks like right

[neon fulcrum]

yep

[jaunty fulcrum]

never used it once

yet

[neon fulcrum]

green ones are for PMCs

Yellow for SCAV

[bold kernel]

technically speaking that map is upside down

[neon fulcrum]

and blue for both

[bold kernel]

fortress and crack are north and dorms is south

[neon fulcrum]

yep ik, but hey

[bold kernel]

i thinks it's funny

[neon fulcrum]

mhm

[jaunty fulcrum]

i hate how that one website i use for maps doesnt have lighthouse

i gotta pay for that shi

[fluid otter]

Where is a good place to start a scav run

also what's the objective of being one?

[tender cairn]

lighthouse

risk free way of getting bank

[fluid otter]

Cuz my first time I went to factory and got shot by a scav player

[tender cairn]

they’re an idiot then

scavs are friendly to scavs

[dapper galleon]

Scav rep doesn’t protect good scavs

It protects the bad ones

[tender cairn]

yeah

[fluid otter]

Yeah I was at my spawn behind a container and just got killed randomly

[neon fulcrum]

no, thats dumb

[tender cairn]

if it was a scav they lost rep for nothing

[neon fulcrum]

Fence rep is pretty usefull

[dapper galleon]

You read that sentence wrong

Or more so you took the wrong takeaway from that

What I mean by that is that if you care about your rep you must wait to be damaged before fighting back

[jagged laurel]

Risk free?

[neon fulcrum]

there were 2 ways to interpret the sentence

[tender cairn]

talking about scav run

[neon fulcrum]

basically yes

[dapper galleon]

I’m not saying rep is usesless

I’m saying it doesn’t protect you

[whole thistle]

Use the wiki map

[jaunty fulcrum]

i do, its not as good

but good enough

[whole thistle]

Money

Or collecting items you want

[jaunty fulcrum]

essentally

[jagged laurel]

Pvp

[jaunty fulcrum]

just a stroll through the park lmao

[jagged laurel]

😈

[neon fulcrum]

get things or get things for ur PMC to use

[fluid otter]

I do want money lol

[neon fulcrum]

or to fight PMCs without risk but with worse gear

[dapper galleon]

Next wipe ima see how low I can get my karma

[jaunty fulcrum]

i be chillin with a full stash and 1.2 mill, im a hoarder lmao

i got so many high value items in my scav box

[fluid otter]

I sold a pressure gauge with no idea what it does

[jagged laurel]

Gotta beat my record of -46

[jaunty fulcrum]

like a gp thing

[neon fulcrum]

i mean some dudes are chilling at +12 and it goes on so ig u can go to - that

[whole thistle]

It is worth money

That is what it does

[dapper galleon]

Friends got you beat with -72

[jagged laurel]

Sheeeee

Respect

[dapper galleon]

Happened during the bug with raiders counting as rep loss

[fluid otter]

Where can you find scav rep?

[dapper galleon]

They just said fuck it and kept going lower

[jaunty fulcrum]

at that point scav runs wont be much different than pmc runs lmao

[jaunty fulcrum]

yea where

[jagged laurel]

Fence

[whole thistle]

As a scav: kill pmcs, extract, coop extract, kill traitor scavs
As a pmc: coop extract, vehicle extracts

[jaunty fulcrum]

oh fence rep is scav rep?

[jagged laurel]

Not what he was asking

[jagged laurel]

Yes

[jaunty fulcrum]

im at .5 rep then

[whole thistle]

Oh that's what he was asking lmao, yes

[fluid otter]

I have a flat 0

[whole thistle]

That is the starting value

[dapper galleon]

I have close to 6.0 rn

I like hanging out with gluhar

[neon fulcrum]

bruh

yes

[jaunty fulcrum]

can you trade with other ai scavs with high enough rep, i heard rummors

[left summit]

what quest do i need to do with skier to unlock the CMMG Mk47

[dapper galleon]

Bullshit

[whole thistle]

Sanitar will give you things, normal scavs wont

[tender cairn]

sanitar gives you stuff?

[left summit]

interesting quest

[dapper galleon]

Sanitar feeds you meds

[jaunty fulcrum]

sanitar is the lighthouse boss right

[dapper galleon]

Shoreline

[jaunty fulcrum]

or shoreline?

[tender cairn]

shoreline

[whole thistle]

Shoreline

[jaunty fulcrum]

ok

what rep you need to do that, 6?

[dapper galleon]

Atleast I think it’s that one

[dapper galleon]

Yea

Hell kill ya otherwise

[tender cairn]

is the stuff he drops good

[dapper galleon]

Sometimes

[whole thistle]

No

Don't think so

[dapper galleon]

He gives out random meds

[tender cairn]

what does he drop

[dapper galleon]

He can drop stims and medkits

[tender cairn]

lol if ur in a pinch go up to him

[whole thistle]

The best thing I've seen is a medkit

[tender cairn]

wdym nestor

medkit

[left summit]

oh thats the real name of the quest i tought you messing with me xDDD thanks

[dapper galleon]

Yea lol

[tender cairn]

apparently medkit autocorrects to nestor

[dapper galleon]

Salewa

Afak

Shit like that

[tender cairn]

oh alr

[lusty crow]

is scar H any good/

[tender cairn]

i mean he can still get you out of a situation though

[lusty crow]

?

[tender cairn]

yes

just need to mod

[dapper galleon]

Yea it’s good

Fun to use as well

[tender cairn]

i believe it kicks like a mule unmodded

[lusty crow]

nice. just found one. gonna save it for level 15 when i can mod it

[dapper galleon]

Finna need a lot of money then

Scar parts aren’t cheep on flee

[left summit]

when do i get that quest ? the bullshit skier quest

[bold kernel]

after chumming?

[dapper galleon]

I think so yea

Might be after one more task after chumming

[fluid otter]

So how do you get money as a scav? Just kill PMC’s?

[bold kernel]

chumming unlocks flint, bs, and silent caliber

[tender cairn]

yes

very rare

[left summit]

ight thanks

[tender cairn]

i doubt people carry money on them

outside of container

[jaunty fulcrum]

i killed shturman guard and he had 5k rubles

aint that nice

[bold kernel]

scavs can carry money

most ive spawned with was like 50k

[tender cairn]

yeah but he has 0 rep

[tender cairn]

same

[jaunty fulcrum]

500k

[neon fulcrum]

beautiful

[tender cairn]

i’ve seen 65k on a reshala guard though

[jaunty fulcrum]

cant see shit lmao

[tender cairn]

or maybe it was somebody else

[bold kernel]

airdrop?

[neon fulcrum]

air drop :)

[humble cave]

So a map is "not as good" as no map? lol

[tender cairn]

yes

[whole thistle]

Dawg

[neon fulcrum]

airdrop

[jaunty fulcrum]

not "no map" just not as good as the maps i use for woods and interchange

[humble cave]

smh

[tender cairn]

what map is he trying to use

oh wait lighthouse

smh

[whole thistle]

He already has cuh

[bold kernel]

bro

[fervent ermine]

Tf is that rpk

[bold kernel]

im so dumb

[fervent ermine]

That poor rpk

[neon fulcrum]

already out dw

naa dw dw

all good

[bold kernel]

yeah i was tweaking haha you gonna keep or sell?

[neon fulcrum]

yoinked from PMC as scav and im trying it

lol

[neon fulcrum]

keep the Rsass, maybe Hex and vector too

[austere hound]

Just pulled a zabralo & an mcx from one

[neon fulcrum]

less goooo i had one once that was sooooo gooooood

and then i died

but

i kept some shit

[serene reef]

someone called an airdrop and died so i ended up getting all the loot

sadly it was medical stuff and the best i got was 2 ophthalmoscopes

[neon fulcrum]

i had the big big grenade launcher in an airdrop together with RedRebel

[fervent ermine]

keep the armor to

the one you're wearing

[neon fulcrum]

ye im using it for run

[austere hound]

Did you call in your airdrop?

[neon fulcrum]

nope, but i died, only got Red Rebel out of it

[whole thistle]

Only

[neon fulcrum]

ye ik ik ok, but big rotary grenadelauncher an big big sniper

[austere hound]

Still a solid grab.

I love popping red flares on my scav runs though. Always a nice bonus

[neon fulcrum]

mhm

[fluid otter]

My hideout looks like a hobo lives there lol

[jaunty fulcrum]

is there a garenteed flare on each map, or a really small chance of it spawning

[bold kernel]

chance of a random airdrop

you can find flares yes

[neon fulcrum]

random spawn chance or call one with flare

but what is that spawn chance

feels kinda high for me

[serene reef]

^

[jaunty fulcrum]

i found a flare in hidden cache,

i used it and got 2 g36

[serene reef]

if i were not to see an airdrop (a natural one) in 5 raids i'd worry

[jaunty fulcrum]

i thought they can only drop with a flare

[tender cairn]

airdrops are so annoying

[tender cairn]

nope

[neon fulcrum]

they are easy good loot if ur close and can grap alot fast

[tender cairn]

didn’t have the chance on customs

it fell right in front of my pathing

down by ruaf

died

[neon fulcrum]

ruaf is dangerous kinda

[tender cairn]

yes it is

[neon fulcrum]

its high risk, super high reward

[tender cairn]

the airdrop was falling at that third checkpoint to the right of the bridge

i was at the second one

two people arrive at it and there’s 3 people on the bridge

i mean i killed one but i had no chance either way

[jaunty fulcrum]

does shtruman and guards wear armor?

[tender cairn]

yes

[jaunty fulcrum]

ik shturman has no helmet

[fervent ermine]

only guards

all of them have no helm

[tender cairn]

his guards usually wear hats

[jaunty fulcrum]

ok

an theres 3 of them

right?

[tender cairn]

yes

2 guards

man himself

[jaunty fulcrum]

ooh

[tender cairn]

kill him from a distance

[jaunty fulcrum]

i though it was 3 guards

[tender cairn]

nah it’s the man himself and two goons

[jaunty fulcrum]

imma challenge myself and try to kill him

[tender cairn]

good luck

don’t get close

[jaunty fulcrum]

i watch a video while falling asleep i got this lmao

[tender cairn]

lmao yeah

[serene reef]

i think the easiest way to kill him

is to grab a sniper and go sniper mountain

wait till you get a raid where you hear him shoot

[jaunty fulcrum]

in my offline run i got upclose and personal with him, he was at the little cabins

[serene reef]

it's 100% a very specific way and weapon sound

[tender cairn]

i used an rfb from behind the blue warehouse on that rock

[jaunty fulcrum]

yea i can recognize it

[tender cairn]

killed one of his guards in a bush and the man himself

[serene reef]

and then you just go stay at sniper rock w/ decent cover and sniper him from 250m

[jaunty fulcrum]

and can recognise the warnign shots

[gentle perch]

Where do all the ophthalmoscopes spawn nowadays cos i can't find one xd

[serene reef]

i killed him like that two times already

[tender cairn]

if you kill one they all run out in the open sometimes

[jaunty fulcrum]

where is sniper rock?

[serene reef]

its the huge mountain in the middle of the map

[tender cairn]

the giant mountain in the middle of the ma

[jaunty fulcrum]

is it the tall ass mountain near sawmil

oh

ok

[serene reef]

sniper rock is the part that overlooks sawmill

[tender cairn]

yes

[jaunty fulcrum]

i barely explored the mountain area

just the extract for scavs lmao

[serene reef]

IM A TAN MAN

tee too too terere

[jaunty fulcrum]

why sniper can i use on shturman at lvl 13

vpo ?

[serene reef]

even a sks

shturman doesnt have any armor iirc

[jaunty fulcrum]

yea

has 62 head health iirc

[tender cairn]

[serene reef]

Nah and also 20 is high

[tender cairn]

yeah

[jaunty fulcrum]

i gotta dig through the piles of ammo i have

maybe i got something good

[serene reef]

i ended up searching for reshala this wipe for good 50 raids

hitting either dorms or new gas if anywhere near

[tender cairn]

what’s reshala spawn chance lmao

[serene reef]

it says 20% xD

[jaunty fulcrum]

well a 20% spawn chance and an top of that gotta make sure that no chad kills him first

[tender cairn]

i’ve only encountered him once lmao

in a scav run

[serene reef]

more like 5% chance to spawn

[jaunty fulcrum]

fr

[serene reef]

although 1/20 seems on the high end with him

[jaunty fulcrum]

the guards dont look like regular scavs right

[tender cairn]

no

[jaunty fulcrum]

they aint wearing civil clothes

[serene reef]

they dont

they pretty diff

[tender cairn]

they look like geared scavs sort of

they always wearing hats tho

[jaunty fulcrum]

ok

[serene reef]

a lot of em has either an altyn or another full protection helmet

often wear untar armor

and have blackrocks

[tender cairn]

wait i thought he’s talking abt shturman

[jaunty fulcrum]

in my offline a bunch of ai scavs wandered into sawmill and got killed by shturman

[serene reef]

their weapons are heavily modded

[jaunty fulcrum]

i just wanted to see the loot they drop

[tender cairn]

reshala guards have blue clothing with white stripes

they usually wear glasses

[jaunty fulcrum]

like imma look for glasses while being shot at lmfao

[serene reef]

IDK first time i got shtur this wipe was when i killed his guard and thought it was him

like the guard had an svds like him and fully black clothing

[ionic schooner]

why cant i change my keybinds?

[tender cairn]

they easy to see lol

[serene reef]

like the guard looked almost like the boss from 200m

[tender cairn]

especially at gas

[bold kernel]

police uniforms

[jaunty fulcrum]

oh damn

[serene reef]

dont approach where they can see you

if possible come from the forest side

[tender cairn]

talking abt reshala again

[jaunty fulcrum]

lmaoo

[serene reef]

and look through the cracks in fence

[ionic schooner]

why cant i change my keybinds to my mouse

[tender cairn]

cause it doesn’t work like that

[jaunty fulcrum]

damn idk, never had that issue

[serene reef]

i was tk about reshulu too

[tender cairn]

i can’t do it either

average reshala fan vs reshulu chad

[jaunty fulcrum]

i like how big pipe wears dogtags as jewlery on his arms lmao

[serene reef]

never needed to try to change ingame settings i just bind mouse buttons to do smthn else

[ionic schooner]

why cant i change my keybinds to my mouse

[neon fulcrum]

lol, just like me fr

[serene reef]

like my left thumb far is middle mouse button xD

[jaunty fulcrum]

idk man

[tender cairn]

i can’t either

[neon fulcrum]

u can, i have

[ionic schooner]

ive had it before

[jaunty fulcrum]

why do you want to change them anyways

[tender cairn]

maybe they changed it this wipe

[tender cairn]

bug

[serene reef]

[ionic schooner]

stfu

[topaz forge]

yes

[frail phoenix]

be nice you guys love each other haha . Any ways it taking me a while to get the courage to play any map other than factory tbh. And i have no idea how to actually give a trader a item. Real Noob here am i right

[bold kernel]

😐

[frail phoenix]

i keep selling those medkits instead of giving them for the first med quest

[woeful spruce]

ok so you go the task tab of the trader cklick on the quest in question and in the quest requirements there should be a button to "turn in" items

[neon fulcrum]

bro same hahaha

[neon fulcrum]

if u have questions like that always just ask here

we will help

[jaunty fulcrum]

Wait you play just factory?

[neon fulcrum]

i did that too when i started game and had shit pc

now i have better pc

[jaunty fulcrum]

But that was a hardware limitation

[frail phoenix]

Thank you The video I watched said that but only showed the locations you can find some. Life saver @woeful spruce

[neon fulcrum]

kinda yes, but also smol map nice = no need to learn any other map monkey brain lol

[jaunty fulcrum]

I mean ig

[neon fulcrum]

factory has smth if ur new

[jaunty fulcrum]

Took me forever to figure out gate 3 on factory

[neon fulcrum]

but now i love customs
