[ember sparrow]

this is what he had

[fossil tiger]

Handgrip is really cheap lol, idk why that guy was using that

feels weird to spend that much on an M4 only to cheap out on the handgrip

Suppressor ain't meta either

[ember sparrow]

dann

damn*

[fossil tiger]

It's a decent build tho

def not meta

[ember sparrow]

Ill probably end up selling the parts

No point in keeping it if im never gonna use it right?

[fossil tiger]

U could just use it

If u have decent ammo for the M4

[ember sparrow]

Ill probably end up dying with it

Ive got a decent amount of M856a1 and m855a1

[fossil tiger]

Don't get gear fear

go nuts

[ember sparrow]

Ive been edging my way out

Using better kits and stuff

[fossil tiger]

Maybe it helps u get an even better gun

[ember sparrow]

I have like 22m stash value and im lvl 21

[edgy plover]

It's a tx-15, so he was likely prioritizing ergo

[ember sparrow]

Oh shit whatsup shep

long time no see

[edgy plover]

[fossil tiger]

Oh true

I didn't zoom it

Theres still better grips for ergo tho

[edgy plover]

Now that I look he definitley wasn't

That guy was confused

[fossil tiger]

guessing the guy didn't have the traders for em or was on a budget

[ember sparrow]

lol

[fossil tiger]

right? lol

[ember sparrow]

doesnt really look like he was on a budget

well nvm

[edgy plover]

Kinda looks like a frankenstein build, random parts thrown on

[ember sparrow]

He was using m855 lol

[fossil tiger]

ew

[ember sparrow]

Then again, I think he was only lvl 17

[edgy plover]

That lines up

[fossil tiger]

yeah he's probably B R O K E

[ember sparrow]

this was him

Is this gun meta? Killed another guy on customs

[mint light]

uhhh

[ember sparrow]

Nvm, literally just noticed it said meta m4 🤦‍♂️

[mint light]

what

u named it that

lol

[ember sparrow]

OHHHH YEAH

whoops

i was checking the price

forgot

XDD

[mint light]

thats basically as good as tiny m4 gets

only missing mur1s

and prs gen 3 for max recoil

if u put long barrel on it it will get pretty low

[static carbon]

how can I move my optic to the back of my gun?

its on the front

[bold kernel]

drag it to your b-33 cover

[potent crater]

drag it and drop it on the dust cover

that reminds me when this guy told me the farther on the gun the sight is the better because less recoil 💀

[static carbon]

thanks

[static carbon]

[north lagoon]

What is the best way to get the bronze pocket watch without getting lit up every single time I get near the area

[vapid flume]

seeing how much all my ammo was worth and accidentally clicked sell, lost 500 bp and like 900 rounds of really good 5.45 and abunch of other ammos

[ember sparrow]

Can someone help me with "The Hermit" task?

[woven fiber]

Bro is every raid a night raid

[pearl copper]

Wait for later during the raid. or go night time

[fringe dawn]

What is the best budget gun

[woven fiber]

sks

[bold kernel]

my buddy got banned any way that he can get unbanned

[river rampart]

Depends what the ban is for and how long.

[bold kernel]

he doesnt know

he says atleast

[river rampart]

He will have to ask battleye.

If there is no reply you can assume he did something bad.

[bold kernel]

how does he do that

[river rampart]

https://www.battleye.com/support/

[bold kernel]

thx

he said that he killed someone he matched with a while ago and thought he was a scav and woke up with a ban

[woven fiber]

@cold crypt i died to exhaustion u blacked my thorax

if u have insurance u good

[bold kernel]

he didnt get banned on tarkov he got banned on the discord

[river rampart]

DM me the name

[versed meteor]

does anyone have oli logistic key?

[woven fiber]

i spent 180k on it when i had to do it xd

[ornate laurel]

Need help with search mission please lol

[frigid finch]

i just started trying to quest on lighthouse, and holy fuck is it difficult

[versed meteor]

do you still have the key i need one more battery for car repair and this quest gives me my last one

[versed meteor]

the hermit and therapist ones are kind of easy but mechanic and prapor ask for too much

[frigid finch]

i have a gun hoarding problem lol

[topaz forge]

holy shit

[calm vale]

sell it all :3

cuz that is really an absurd amt of guns

[topaz forge]

sell pistols sell useless m4 parts

[frigid finch]

lol...but what if i die 20 times in a row and i need to do pistol runs???

lol

ok, got rid of most of the pistols lol

[ember sparrow]

Could someone help me with fishing gear task

[bold kernel]

yo

good collectin but some of that stuffs gotta go

[frigid finch]

yea just got rid of most of the pistols....gonna do a few factory runs to try to get kills at office building should get rid of a few more, hopefully complete it

[scarlet token]

anyone wanna coach some timmies??

[frigid finch]

the fact that this game has no vertical audio is fucking insane to me

[ripe temple]

yeah its weird too

on interchange upstairs i was on one of the pillars and my friend below me was running in place since he dced but i heard no audio from him running

until i walked 2 inches down the pillar then i heard his running

[bold kernel]

no no by all means having guns is good but it looks like some are just worth selling for the roubles then keeping

like ik some of those are rogue guns 👀

[scarlet token]

@bold kernel u seem like someone who needs som timmies

[frigid finch]

its my first wipe, so im finally past the point where im dying so much that i have no guns or rubles....so now i hoard too much for fear of being in that position again

[bold kernel]

i don’t mind coaching but im not on rn atm

[scarlet token]

ok

[bold kernel]

you’re doing super for your first wipe bro im embarrassed to admit but you have more guns in your stash then me 😂

[frigid finch]

ive mostly been focused on questing...just at the point where i have to quest interchange/reserve/lighthouse now

[scarlet token]

anyone wanna coach some timmies??

[drifting jolt]

how many timmys we talkin? lol

[scarlet token]

2

dos

[drifting jolt]

yall just got it or?

the game i mean

[scarlet token]

i mean were like lvl 9-10

[drifting jolt]

are yall having trouble with anything in particular?

[scarlet token]

yeah now the basics

like being good at the gasme

[drifting jolt]

yall might wanna learn how to farm raiders on reserve with your scav... i can teach ya that

i can help overall, just give me a call

or link me to a channel

whichever

im about to load in to a reserve scav run, this would be good to know/watch

[scarlet token]

ok i tried calling u

[sleek pollen]

timer is at 000,000 does that mean raids are dark?

[topaz forge]

once it hits 666,666 it falls night on every map for 30 minutes ive heard

not 100% certain on the duration, just saw someone say 30

[bold kernel]

it’s like at straight zero rn and not moving

super odd

[topaz forge]

will probably start moving again when night is over?

or is it day and stuck at 0

[bold kernel]

stuck

[topaz forge]

wtf

[sleek pollen]

yea it weird

[outer mulch]

how do i use the rangefinder?

no buttons seem to do anything

[mint light]

bind it to a number

[outer mulch]

that's not what i mean

how do i actually like

USE it

[mint light]

aim it

[outer mulch]

looking through it doesn't do anything

[mint light]

idk if its still bugged

yeah sometimes a number just dosent appear

[outer mulch]

oh rip

i haven't been able to get it to work

[stark quarry]

is it normal to spawn in and be getting shot at soon as you're loaded?

[topaz forge]

somewhat

usually on scavs

[outer mulch]

are there any items i should be crafting as much as possible? i crafted some ap for a while but i don't really use it so i haven't recently. i crafted a bunch of IFAKs but now my med stuff is just full of ifaks

[topaz forge]

you can use tarkov-market to look at craft costs and outputs

https://tarkov-market.com/

idk any crafts off the top of my head but look through here and youll find some

[drifting jolt]

take 2 ifaks into every raid, one hotkeyed, and one in your butt

and then you can craft AFAKs with low IFAKs

craft mag cases or grenade cases with empty gas cans

[outer mulch]

huge, ty

[outer mulch]

ah smart. is AFAK lvl 3 medstation?

mine is still lvl 2

[outer mulch]

slightly unrelated but gas cans are things i should generally pick up right

[mint light]

ive never used this gun before

lets see what u kiddos are talking about

[topaz forge]

hipfire go brrr

[mint light]

this gun is gonna suck dick

[topaz forge]

theyre heavy but if you have space yea

[outer mulch]

what is it?

[topaz forge]

the smaller ones are like 25k per slot

[mint light]

ash12

[topaz forge]

ash12 is pretty good

[mint light]

does it two tap class 5

[topaz forge]

no

i dont think so

3 tho

[mint light]

why would i use this then

and not rd704

[stark quarry]

should i ditch the PPSH41 in favor of the .336 TKM firing EKO. in the VPO 209?

[topaz forge]

literally no reason rd outclasses it in every way

[outer mulch]

ah

[topaz forge]

uhhh probably not

[outer mulch]

doesn't it have like

stupidly fucking massive bullets

[topaz forge]

eko is pretty bad

[outer mulch]

12.7x55

[topaz forge]

yea

[outer mulch]

have you heard when the bullet shells hit the floor

it's like TONG

[raw path]

guys, im not receiving quest items, anyone knows what is this ?

[topaz forge]

they are delivered to you in your messages

[raw path]

oh

thx

[topaz forge]

check the messages tab

👍

[outer mulch]

haha, been there

[stark quarry]

i think i like the 6b2 better than the paca. its cheaper. and in my experience more survivable.

just ate 2 Buckshot to the chest and i've had new pacas only survive 1 and the 2nd one was fatal damage that i bled out almost immideatly after

[oblique spire]

i just got back into tarkov, im competent enough in making money but not so much in pvp, anyone got any advice that i could use to try and not instantly be reduced to atoms when i encounter someone

[stark quarry]

coming from someone on the receiving end you gotta dress like a tank and get the highest ROF weapon possible with the biggest drums possible

[oblique spire]

[Head, Eyes]

i dress in T4 armored rigs and usually use guns required for questing, and if not ill go with an AKM or AK74

it works but im feeling tips more with what i could do in the fight itself and not aim

[drifting jolt]

ALWAYS PICK UP GAS... and AFAKs might be 3

@outer mulch Make gunpowders and turn them into ammo also

[tired hearth]

ah yes the life of being level 11

[outer mulch]

noted, noted

[oblique spire]

my man is suffering from success rn with that bank account

[agile helm]

PACA repairs better, and is lighter, its all around the better armor. tho i would use the 6b15 instead

[oblique spire]

6b15 is made of ceramic

it takes more damage, and the higher the damage the higher the pen

[tired hearth]

dont even have any sort of heals but hey i got a RD lmfao

[oblique spire]

scav on lighthouse, rogues are guaranteed to have an Afak, if they werent already looted that is

I don't recommend PMC'ing it

[agile helm]

yeah and ceramic is shit for repair, and while it has 80 HP its good for one or two raids

[tired hearth]

Problem is, I only know customs, every other map is fuzzy for me

[outer mulch]

idk if this is the ai being dumb or me but it sure feels like the ai

[oblique spire]

three pistol shots and you've lost like 40 durability, making it less effective than a T1 armor

[outer mulch]

i can defend the repeek

i thought i would've been dead already if he had seen me

[oblique spire]

Bear or Usec

[outer mulch]

bear

[topaz forge]

left hand

[oblique spire]

well thats why you got instantly shredded

[topaz forge]

thats why

[agile helm]

Yeah, its a lvl 2 armor, its good against not dying to first shot scavs, better to run 6b15

[topaz forge]

no

its because you were left hand peeking

bear and usec have the same aggro if you kill 1 rogue

[outer mulch]

hm

[oblique spire]

left hand, and AI take longer to react to you if you slow peak it

[outer mulch]

i hadn't even shot yet 😭

[oblique spire]

rogue moment

[outer mulch]

they were shooting at me before i got down the hill

i cri

[oblique spire]

they shoot at you from 15 miles away if you're a bear (which is why i scav it)

[topaz forge]

if thats the spot i think it is you just need to be peeking from the other side of the rock thats on your left

[outer mulch]

i have done at least 4 of these and i still have not killed a single one

am i just garbage

[oblique spire]

scav it

[topaz forge]

youll learn

[oblique spire]

you can get much closer

[tired hearth]

AI scavs penetrate young Tarkov player

[outer mulch]

well that doesn't really help if im trying to do it intentionally as a pmc

[topaz forge]

you can get close as a bear too

[waxen stag]

good afternoon, just bought the game and i am so confused, how do i get gud

[oblique spire]

if you arent seen

[topaz forge]

its really easy to not be seen

[oblique spire]

good point, but im horrid

so

[agile helm]

Has heavy bleed, tries to CMS it

[stark quarry]

why is it my luck that i always run into the guy dressed as a tank when i run an actual loadout and when i don't i usually don't run into anyone. whats the point in carrying gear with me? if when i do i face a guy with a ALTYN and a fortress of doom vest on

[tired hearth]

sometimes ya mind goes blank ya know

[oblique spire]

you can tell by his mouse shaking he was pumped with adrenaline

[whole thistle]

rip you shot that last guy in the legs a bunch lol

[whole thistle]

since they were still coming for you just fixing the bleed and using a pk wouldve been optimal

[stark quarry]

i think i'll go back to Running a Kedr and 2 20rnd mags. and nothing else. i've gotten my best loot by running nothing.

[oblique spire]

then you wont get better!

[agile helm]

not true

[tired hearth]

problem was, i was using flechette rounds, shouldve been aiming center mass to begin with

[oblique spire]

If you take fights with the budget gear yes

[whole thistle]

yeah thats what i was saying

[oblique spire]

but you're less inclined to take fights when your weapons and armor are lesser unless your competent enough to aim for the face

[whole thistle]

flechettes in a 133 is crazy

[stark quarry]

its hitting a brick wall. i should spend what little money i have left on crappy equipment that i can barely afford. just to get ROFL stomped by a tank. and be broke agian. or should i just run a kedr and 2 mags and make it out with over double the roubles in loot to pay for the expenses

[tired hearth]

gotta use what you got

I lost my bernelli so

had to do what i had to do

[agile helm]

you can easily kill with kedr

[tired hearth]

lucky i didnt stuff AP's in there

[oblique spire]

i would say then do money runs and do pvp

but make sure your financially stable

[oblique spire]

yes, but you have to hit the face or legs

[stark quarry]

how do i avoid pvp these guys got those Headsets on and can hear my PMC breathing from 500 meters away.

[oblique spire]

woods

[agile helm]

and thats easy

[oblique spire]

if you shoot first

[agile helm]

slow down

[agile helm]

no? not always

[stark quarry]

theres been 3 or 4 times i've hid in a shed or a house of what i thought was a good spot when i heard gunshots going off. and a tank is looking for me caulculated in a way knowing X number of PMCs spawned in and im the last one.

[oblique spire]

it works, but any armor whatsoever will stop your peashooter

[agile helm]

again, aim for legs

[agile helm]

nah, he probably heard you move

[oblique spire]

shuffle moment

[stark quarry]

i don't need any good gear for woods right? i just need a TT or something and i should beable to make it out with some money?

[oblique spire]

learn some of the stashes and stick to the outer edges of the map

[agile helm]

Mosin, rig, paca, backpack, meds ammo

[oblique spire]

anything could work, but an SKS or DB is my go to

[agile helm]

ALso everything in this game makes noise, from inventory, to standing up and crouching

if you turn you make noise

[stark quarry]

yeah i figured as much i have always been freightend to even open inventory when anyones near

Does Toz get slugs?

i have like 10 Toz shotguns.

[oblique spire]

If you spawn outskirts, hit stashes on your way to Usec Camp (feel free to avoid if you feel it aint worth it), go to scav bunker, hit the abandoned village (that place is loaded with valuables), head to scav town and loot the houses, then go to northern RUAF loot the barn and leave

do the opposite if you spawn roadblock side

[agile helm]

Toz are ass, SKS/DB/Mosin is better

[drifting jolt]

just geta pump action... but toz does have slugs

use the double barrel

[oblique spire]

for woods bring an SKS

[drifting jolt]

8.8k

[stark quarry]

also why is it that my character gets dehydrated in like 5 minutes. my military service says otherwise. i've done 15 mile Ruck RUNs without drinking any water and been fine.

[oblique spire]

halloween event

[drifting jolt]

random effects during the event

[oblique spire]

you lose energy quicker now

[stark quarry]

does that explain why sometimes when i spawn in raid i'm hurt sometimes

[oblique spire]

yeah

[agile helm]

yes

[stark quarry]

this. is dumb

[drifting jolt]

lol, a lot of people arent enjoying it, but they're a little busy in Russia right now ... so at least they tried something

[oblique spire]

anyway back to my question

What kind of advice could i receive for blowing the brains out of my fellow PMC's. ive been dying near constantly and feel as if im not learning much

[agile helm]

slow down, 10$ says you're rushing and giving yourself away

[oblique spire]

sometimes i play too scared sometimes too agressive

[stark quarry]

as long as i have a gun i won't be marked tagged and cursed right?

[oblique spire]

and those moments where both of us know our locations i usually don't quite know how to react

[oblique spire]

gun + rig/backpack

[agile helm]

gun and rigbackpack

[mint coyote]

why is the halloween timers not moving ?

[agile helm]

idk? maybe a new phase of event

[oblique spire]

i don't ever bring food into raid so now i enter raid, check my backpack to be 100% sure i got what i need, then realize i forgot to bring that canned tuna with me

[frigid finch]

i legitimately hate the fact that you can group up in this game.....such a pussy fucking way to play

[oblique spire]

it really isnt

[frigid finch]

it really is

[oblique spire]

you can abuse the fact a group needs to have comms

[agile helm]

What?

[bold kernel]

sigma male mindset

[oblique spire]

on night woods, we were up against pure meta gear night vision, and i ran into the middle of there group (Clueless) and they thought i was one of them (they all died)

i still have that pure meta SVD

[drifting jolt]

correct

[drifting jolt]

what's your survival rating?

[oblique spire]

i don't check

[agile helm]

you need a gun/rig/backpack or helmet

[oblique spire]

all i know is if i don't run into a PMC, great! if i do, family guy death pose

[drifting jolt]

start getting used to hip fire... run factory offline with scavs turned on horde

[frigid finch]

"we" first off...second, yea, thats great if i know how many of them there are, i killed two, and there were two more...just fucking annoying little bitches who cant do shit on their own

[drifting jolt]

then take in a shit ton of ammo for an auto and try to hip fire everything til you die

[oblique spire]

its less my aim and more how i act in the fight

i think its my gamesense mainly

[drifting jolt]

well you become more and more calm the more fights you get into

[oblique spire]

i didn't know how many there were

only found out after they died

but take it slow

kill one and listen

[agile helm]

What???? sounds like you're just bad

[stark quarry]

which extracts are guranteed to be always open on woods

[oblique spire]

car extract

[mint light]

#pvp-lfg

[agile helm]

VEx

[frigid finch]

yes, fucking obviously...im like 200 hours into this game...and im level 25....i was using m855 (not a1) ammo in a rogue m4 and i still managed to kill 2 of them

[frigid finch]

no i fucking hate grouping

[stark quarry]

i didn't know you could group.

[oblique spire]

Outskirts and ZB014 if you spawn Roadblock side, Norhtern UN, UN, RUAF, and ZB016 if you spawn outskirts side

ZB014 requires a key

[agile helm]

whats your survival percent?

[mint light]

zb014 zb016 and ruaf are not garunteed

[frigid finch]

40ish

[agile helm]

first wipe?

[oblique spire]

Ah

[topaz forge]

40 aint bad

[frigid finch]

yea...it could be higher if i played smarter, but i go out of my way to try to pvp cause its the only way to learn

just frustrating to lose to numbers

[topaz forge]

40 is good if youre pushing pvp lol

with 200 hours

[agile helm]

ok, so you are missing one MASSIVE skill, always assume there's another

[frigid finch]

i mean...i did that after the first one lol...just didnt expect there to be two more after the second

[oblique spire]

im missing that skill! (i usually run into solos)

[agile helm]

Always expect theres more

[frigid finch]

i killed one, got shot at by his buddy, repositioned, and reinitiated the fight, and died cause i had a blacked leg and couldnt reposition again

so i had to take the next fight on their terms

[stark quarry]

is dumb question as i am not sure when sunset/dawn dusk time is is 1900 hours night time for woods or is 0700

seems like both these times is about the same light level

[oblique spire]

same as everywhere else

[oblique spire]

its currently Doomed

the event

[agile helm]

you didnt PK?

[frigid finch]

im not saying i didnt die cause of my own misplays....i shouldve popped painkillers immediately after the first one

[topaz forge]

during normal game (no event) you should choose 7:00 here

[frigid finch]

i just dont have the situational awareness perfectly down yet on what i should be doing

[topaz forge]

rn the event is making everything dark at certain times

[oblique spire]

(if you don't know the event, doomed activates every 666,666 kills (scav or pmc) for 30 minutes)

[topaz forge]

daytime and nighttime

[stark quarry]

one other question. what kind of loot spawns in these "caches" ground or barrel

[oblique spire]

anything

[topaz forge]

!wiki ground cache

[broken quail]

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

Escape from Tarkov Wiki

Ground cache

Ground cache is a Loot Container in Escape from Tarkov.

​

General data

Type

Loot Container

[topaz forge]

everything listed there

[stark quarry]

maybe i'll get lucky and get a graphics card.

[oblique spire]

almost anything

also my surv rating is 36%

speaking of which what in the bloody world is survivor class

[brisk nacelle]

is vector viable at LL2

[pliant sail]

How do you increase the distance of your thrown grenades because mine barely go past four feet

[brisk nacelle]

im tryna find new guns to use

[brisk nacelle]

look higher up

[agile helm]

lvl strength

[pliant sail]

I do and they barely cover any distance

[pliant sail]

Is that it?

[oblique spire]

theres 51 levels to all skills

your strength is like lvl 7 i bet

minor spelling mistake

[pliant sail]

That’s kind of pathetic considering your PMC is supposedly trained

[oblique spire]

a life of ratting does horrible things to the body

gotta train to get your skills back up

[stark quarry]

already got my monies worth out of this woods run

how much a SSD sell for?

[sleek pollen]

anyone got a meta rd build, preferably low recoil

[oblique spire]

fence

or if you want USD, PK

58k i think (rouples)

[frigid finch]

lighthouse is difficult to quest in....player scavs spawn in so quickly it makes it really dangerous

[oblique spire]

not only that but they are like moths to a lamp when it comes to the compound

[frigid finch]

yea all my quests are up there now lol

also, quest keys there are super fucking expensive, holy shit

[oblique spire]

you could do the age old tactic of making yourself look like a scav

all you need is a pom pom beanie and you're in the clear

[frigid finch]

lol right now that is dangerous cause of no rep loss on killing other scavs

[oblique spire]

just wait till doomed is over

[frigid finch]

lol cant fucking wait

my food reserves are shot

[oblique spire]

then scav yourself

the med camp on woods is full of munchies

[frigid finch]

i hate scaving for food lol

[oblique spire]

the benefit of doomed is you cant see 5 feet infront of you

nobody else can

[oblique spire]

grab other things too

scav village has a bunch of loose tech and valuables as well as food

hell ive found a GPU there once

[agile helm]

no? its not just when it gets dark, its for the duration of the event

[stark quarry]

i was hugging border of map got shot at by a dude i could barely see obviously a high powered semi auto and then his buddy shot a Grenade launcher at me. but its okay i shoved some things up my butt. i think i paid for the raid with the SSD. a powerbank and SRS-02 scope and a micro 762 adapter of some kind

bit sad though because i found some really good armor i got lucky spawned right next to a Cache and i hit 2 more and was headed back to extract

[agile helm]

SRS isnt worth, same with adapter

[stark quarry]

oh and a powerbank.

and some special 5.7 tracer ammo

i made 59669 Rubles from that raid.

couple more times of shoving stuff in my butt and i think ill be able to buy like 10 more kits

[drifting jolt]

@stark quarryhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUM5y2jw4QM&t=93s

Use this to make money

[mint light]

lol

[stark quarry]

is there an advantage to a IFAK or AFAK? does it work like IRL what im used to like our Ifaks had not just bandages and such but also tourniquets my question is does the Ifak or Afak replace any other medical item i.e pain killers or tournaqits

[pastel current]

no. afak just has more hp

[stark quarry]

says it stops heavy bleeding im assuming it does replace tournaqit

[frigid finch]

it doesnt replace because to stop bleeding it takes a huge chunk out of the total health

[dire folio]

I ussually use heals as mini bandaids and bring heavy bandaid with me

[drifting jolt]

'inspect' them and read it...

[pastel current]

yeah and wastes half the med, use esmarchs or caloks for heavy bleeds, light bleeds are fine

[stark quarry]

is the advantage of being in the perdiciment i'm in good because i can run shitty armor meaning i'll get it back almost always? i.e the armors that take chest rig spot. i just got one of my chest pieces back.

[pastel current]

armored rigs, usually the tier 3/4s can come back

[stark quarry]

i just got this one back from insurance.

[pastel current]

yeah thats expected

[stark quarry]

is it just its a bad armor or is it more so. that it takes a chest rig spot and its not the best armor.

i got people who take my TT pistol or my Paca when i was using those.

[pastel current]

its a bad armor this point in wipe against pmcs

most people run decent armor piercing rounds rn, so its good for scavs and budget runs only

[stark quarry]

you know whats funny is the 6b47 isn't half bad i used to own a full set of Ratnik gear incluiding the titanium plates and the rare Shoulder pouldrons and groin protector. inclulding the headphones the kit uses. ended up having to sell it when i got out of the marine corps to pay for replacment gear because the smudge on my IFAK was too dirty even though it was slightly burnt and they took my flak with burn marks and a couple oil stains.

my man gave me about 2,000 dollars and another 300 for the bayonet + a 120mm Shell Container i ended up with after a range

only reason he paid me that much is because there aint much if any state side anymore. due to unforseen events. had bought that stuff for probably 300 bucks in total in 2018

[eternal narwhal]

youre just north of the mountain in the center of the map looking north towards the barn and cabin

[zealous flame]

if you get max scav rep do scavs shoot you as a pmc

[eternal narwhal]

yes

[stark quarry]

today i found out 9 mil does nothing even to unarmored foes

just dumped 17 rounds into this guys chest in about 10 seconds. and he just casually bolted mosin 3 times standing there taking it

[drifting jolt]

depends on the round...

I use 9x19 a lot

[stark quarry]

yeah. seems a bit unbalanced 13 hits only did 131 damage and the guys only got a Cheap chest rig

what i wanna know is what is the scavs Coat made out of

[woven fiber]

U will shred unarmored people

9x19 is a very fun round

People die extremely fast if u use atleast quakemaker

[stark quarry]

i just did my first successful raid. i have to say. i REALLY like the SKS

[drifting jolt]

good cause youre gonna be using it a lot til level 15

lol

[stark quarry]

i one tapped everyone including a couple guys with armor

good thing too because i only brought like 10 extra rounds 20 total

[drifting jolt]

Put a whole stack in your secure container

and keep 5-10 in your pocket at all times

[stark quarry]

i was gonig to good thing i didn't though i walked away with another Hexagon 12g supressor and Elcan spectr dr scope

funny thing i right clicked it to see what it was. and accidentally hit install had to find what gun it ended up on and it was put on a TOZ in the bottem of my stash

[modern patio]

Toz is underrated change my mind

[mint light]

?

[drifting jolt]

compared to what?

the snub nosed revolver, maybe

[stark quarry]

i always thought toz is super underwhelming just like 7.62 ak when i first got one. the 7.62 AK's are really bad in my opinion just because of recoil why i prefer .336 TKM

[drifting jolt]

366 ammo is dog shit

[mint light]

7.62 has way less recoil than 366

what

[drifting jolt]

the AP is a decent round, but only up close, cause it has an accuracy penalty

[stark quarry]

EKO ammo.

[mint light]

still more

and dosent pen anything

a stock akm has less recoil than a meta recoil built vpo

[stark quarry]

idk. probably because my characters low recoil handling skill. i was told over on redit when i asked for advice. that Skills in this game don't matter not sure if thats true because i counted 6 skills that directly effect gun handling and recoil and reload speeds

[drifting jolt]

youll never level them past like 3 or some shit

the only skills you can grind are endurance, strength, crafting, and hideout management

those are the only 4 youll ever max out, at least as the game is designed now

[stark quarry]

so they all max at 3?

or just the ones im talking about

[zinc canopy]

can max out metabolism without too much time spent

[stark quarry]

online it says character skills can be leveled to 51. on the wiki.

[zinc canopy]

no they are just saying that you effectively wont train them past level 3 within a wipe

[stark quarry]

idk they told me they don't matter at all.

[drifting jolt]

no they max at 51, but most skills dont level at any realistically obtainable rate

Anyone who has max recoil has the ability to play 40-50 plus hours a week

[stark quarry]

also what is frag chance?

i see that labeled on ammunition. and no idea what it is or does and if it effects me.

[fallen cargo]

its the chace a bulit splits in more then 1 part mostly 2 parts so it deals 2times the dammeg so basickly a qrit

[stark quarry]

so its basically pointless if you're set out on going for legs and arms

because those parts are already unarmored

[fallen cargo]

not if you have rip ammo

rip ammo can kil in lik 3/4 bulits to a leg

but its not easy to shoot the same lime somanny times

[stark quarry]

.336 TKM FMJ has over 20 pen, and does 98 damage

im assuming it would destroy a limb in 1-2 shots

[fallen cargo]

is it bugt atm i dint now i never go for frag ammo but howlong has it been buged

looks like your under sniper mointain neer between dickhead

[cinder pasture]

if i trade for an item on flea, will the one i get retain it's found in raid status?

[fallen cargo]

when buying or selling on flea it loses found in raid

[stark quarry]

woods map seems easy if you walk in a straight line in any direction you will know exactly where ur at and all the extracts that are open to everyone always are directly south. if you hit water turn right if you hit trees and Skull signs turn left

idk looks like woods anyhow

same with the other one

[cinder pasture]

ty man

[fallen cargo]

@hasty rampart no you are need the airplain side on your left dow the hill about 50meter there shoud be a plain

@hasty rampart just look for the verry big mointain and from there look what deriction your looking at it

you can see the mointain from like 70% of the map

[stark quarry]

what determines what your scav is equipped with i've seen scavs on factory get Fast helmets. is it level or is it truly 100% random and nothing effects it

[fallen cargo]

its random to a point

[agile helm]

20 pen isnt that much

[fallen cargo]

you got scave rep ( fence ) rep

20pen wil pen lvl 2 armor

[agile helm]

you mean the TK fast MT

[agile helm]

yeah and who runs lvl 2

[fallen cargo]

if you kil skave as a scave you lose rep you

you gain rep buy exstracting as a scave kiling pmc as a scave and doing exstrations whit scave pmc and care axstrations

or doing fence qwest

the higher your scave rep the beter gear you get

you also got scave lvls going on in the background so the more you train your scave the higher chance your nexst scave gonne be good in that earya

[agile helm]

Scav lvl does nothing, only skills count

[fallen cargo]

@agile helm new players use pacas and its good to shoot low lvl scaves buy you wanne aim for lvl 4 pen ammo cus like 60%uses lvl 4 armer

[agile helm]

yeah, ive seen like 3 PACAs this wipe, seen more lvl 3 and 4 like the 6b15 and 6b47

and scavs can have lvl 3 and 4 armor

[fallen cargo]

the reason alot peeps use lvl 4 is cus of scave sks that uses ps ammo

you can tanke a hit or 2 vr players lvl 4 is low

unles its lik a trooper or like the wartec 10

110

cus not al armors from the same lvl are made the same

[agile helm]

and the fact lvl 4 is really good for its class

[fallen cargo]

its not good its cheap

[agile helm]

uhhhh, Lvl 4 armor is really good, ive seen more TV-110s, AVSs, and troopers this wipe then any other

[fallen cargo]

cus you cant buy lvl 5 anny more on the fleemarked

i can buy all the armers and ... but a good lvl 5armor wil set you back 200k

[agile helm]

yeah, and you cant buy god tier ammo either

[agile helm]

which one?

[fallen cargo]

give me a sec starting the game

[agile helm]

Like the redut?

[agile helm]

why not korund?

[agile helm]

or Gzhel

[fallen cargo]

corun is low hp can tank only 2 rounds befor its lvl 4/3

gezel is good

[stark quarry]

i jsut realized this

[fallen cargo]

but its ceramick

[stark quarry]

so the prism 2x5 times scope is 2 spaces big. but then you put it on a M4 carryhandle. and its now takes up one space?

[agile helm]

yes

[fallen cargo]

its cus of the atachment

[fallen cargo]

but this is my fave armor

[agile helm]

why?

[stark quarry]

ok i think Scav runs are borked or i'm doing stuff wrong 90% of the time and do stuff right 10% of the time. i just made 160k Roubles off of 5 minutes of low effort

[oblique ruin]

Gen4 hmk is a great armor

One of my fav armors too

So easy to get too

[fallen cargo]

@agile helm a few reasons it has a good hp pool its a lvl 5 its not the worst at lowering your stats it also a armor so moos peeps dont steal armor cos its a 3/4 if they put it in there backpack its full so you get it back alot it repairs decent

[agile helm]

yeah but gzhel is way better

[fallen cargo]

this game isnt all about stats its also how you feel about a armor gun ammo

i feel i surviv more fights whit the gen 4 then whit a gezel

[stark quarry]

if it makes you feel any better i found one of those trijicon Thermal scopes in a raid and i got blown up by a dude with a grenade launcher as i was about to extract

[stark quarry]

so im not wrong playing the game the way i enjoy? sub par weaponry but i have fun using it my entire kits cost is typically sub 60k

[fallen cargo]

you can be a cad or a rat or a hafe bread anny gun can kil a person anny ammo can be good

if you spend 60k and find 100k you wil be happy

if i spend 600k on my loudout( what i doo) and finde 400k its a bad raid for me

[stark quarry]

im level 4 so not much i can do about being a "rat"

[fallen cargo]

that so not treu i play the same when wipe happens then atm when im lvl 45

difrence is ammo gun build and keys

[fallen cargo]

i personly dont like singelshot guns but if you good whit them wy not

[stark quarry]

Don't worry i only shoot Buckshot every other round out of the supressed saiga with night vision a light and a laser

[fallen cargo]

hey if you like that wy not

last wipe i kild a guy whit a shotgun from sniper mointain on woods in the sawmile over 270meters whit ap20 slugs

[stark quarry]

i don't know which ones i like better

[fallen cargo]

depends what the goal is

slug vr buckshot

[stark quarry]

i load a buckshot every other shot though

[fallen cargo]

oke dont

[stark quarry]

buckshot slug buckshot slug

[fallen cargo]

either go for ful slug or ful buckshot and pick what you gonne focus on

slugs are for chest / head shots 1 slug can kil a guy most of the time

you need to be good to aim then

buckshot you go for leggs arms or headshots

you aim in the earea of what you wanne hit

most of the time 2pellits of a buckshot wil kil a person

[stark quarry]

i only do it just because if im having to move / turn really fast aim really fast atleast i know every other shot im destroying what little part of him i couldn't get the gun fully on

[fallen cargo]

wel low lvl i woud say go ful buckshot

the pen power of the slugs you have is not that great so buckshot wil be easyer for you to get a kil

2days a go i kild 2 pmc of a 3man whit ap20 when they were ful geard lvl 5 night vison on facktory

i did over 1000dameg to armor and 860 to boddy but kild a shave aswel

but if i used buckshot there i woud have died

and no kils

[stark quarry]

id like to beable to get dual sabot slugs

fire 2 slugs per shot almost double hit probability if counting weapon accuracy as only factor.

[agile helm]

they suck ass

[agile helm]

its really not

Run buckshot

[stark quarry]

do princes of items at the diffrent vendors flucuate often?

prices'

the 6b47 helmet i have been normally buying them at around 23k and now they're 33k from prapor

[woven fiber]

@fallen cargo man, u need to learn to type

[stark quarry]

hes prolly using a russian keyboard

[woven fiber]

So?

[stark quarry]

true tarkov players use a russian keyboard

that or his keyboards slap wore out

[fervent ermine]

or he doesnt know how to type

[woven fiber]

Or hes just braindead

[fervent ermine]

your poor tab key

[woven fiber]

2005 keyboard

[stark quarry]

hey man. thats what a million miles looks like on a keyboard

bad boys only had 4 oil changes

[stark quarry]

i remember a long time ago in school i would fuck with people in the computer classes and switch random keys i've typed like a normal person should (home row) and to incentivize the next person to remember where home row was and stop pecking the keyboard i would swap random keys out and it was funny to me watching their confused look when they pressed the a key. and a f would appear. or they'd hit caps ctrl and the windows start menu opens

[chrome nova]

TЯU STOЯУ

[stark quarry]

we found'em my man sleeps with a Fast MT on.

[stone lodge]

is it permanantly night time now or does it still go off the counter?

[chrome nova]

it switch to the "night" when 666 666 reached and lasts about an hour

[stone lodge]

thought so

just went into a raid at 15:00 and it was pitch black tho

[chrome nova]

just monitor the helloween page, when digits resets - you can go

[devout dragon]

How do you know what to sell from your junkbox?

[lusty crow]

just go through each item see what its used for. i only recently saw i had 15 meds worth 20k each and dont really need them

[devout dragon]

Alr ty

It will take a while cos I've got three full boxes

[lusty crow]

it will. but you will learn the items and will also help you priorities loot in raid

[devout dragon]

True

thanks a lot dude

[lusty crow]

prioritize*

[brisk gust]

Is a 1060gtx 6gb GPU, an i7-7700K 4.20GHz and 16GB of ram enough to run tarkov on like a playable (not with the lowest graphics) basis?

[half pewter]

it will run but wont be great , my setup is the same but 1080ti and getting alot of issues/crashes

[vale scarab]

It's been permanently night for 4 hours now the timer is broke or it's part of the event

[half pewter]

event bud

[vagrant marsh]

is it worth selling GPUs to therapist now?

theres like a ~5-10k difference between flea

[half pewter]

either keep for Bitcoin farm or yeah sell to either tbh , just depends if you need to sell X amount of rubles to therapist or not to LVl trader up

[vagrant marsh]

i have 10 fir GPUs right now, but im not interested in a miner, its better to just sell them right?

[half pewter]

yeah for sure dude

[vagrant marsh]

Goodbye my friends

[brisk gust]

sorry i meant 32gb of ram does that make a big difference

[half pewter]

ram should make things better , this game is SO ram intensive its mad but yeah my 16gb ddr4 just about cuts it 32gb should be spot on

[brisk gust]

so does that mean it will run okay?

[half pewter]

it should but i cant promise anything , just turn the graphics down and it should be playable , just dont expect it to run in high

[brisk gust]

alright tysm

@half pewter wait last question

does powersupply also affect performance or no

[half pewter]

not really mate

[half pewter]

as long as your power supply allows for your pc to work in general when playing any game itl be fine with tark

[brisk gust]

will my pc get fucked if i install tarkov or will it be fine

[half pewter]

its only if you decide to upgrade to a 20 or 30 series card youd need to upgrasde it

[brisk gust]

im not so sure if i should buy the game with my current PC

[half pewter]

nah itl be fine

[brisk gust]

okay

[half pewter]

itd be good just to get practicing , can always upgrade pc parts at later date , just be aware that generally with this game , the better your equipment (monitor,graphics,mouse,headset) the easier it can be if you follow, if you get a 60hz monitor people with 144hz upwards will find it easier to spot you

better quality headset - easier to head you moving about

mouse with buttons - easier to multi task in gunfights

[manic jay]

anyone around to help me with a quest on customs?

[jade pine]

can someone help me lvl up

[kindred trail]

could anyone help me with some task and getting some better gear im calm from uk

[olive halo]

your pfp doesnt add up

[kindred trail]

🤣

[deft ember]

Everything but guns and ammo. Use what traders give rinse repeat

[serene reef]

you say that

im vibing with a 1050 not even ti and 16GBs of ram xD

at least dual channel tho so that's a decent help :P

[south tapir]

ALL

[pallid tangle]

https://eft-ammo.com/ is this still relevant

[edgy plover]

Yes

[pallid tangle]

Cool ty

[static carbon]

BT or PS 5.56x39?

[astral horizon]

whenever i play woods the time suddenly changes to midnight even if it's the middle of the day. is this something to do with halloween?

[edgy plover]

I think you mean 5.45
But BT is far better for penetration

[static carbon]

yea my bad

[edgy plover]

https://www.escapefromtarkov.com/halloween

[astral horizon]

got it

[edgy plover]

When that reaches 666,666 everything goes dark for a bit

[astral horizon]

what causes it to tick up?

[pallid tangle]

I assume deaths

It has a skull next to doomed

[edgy plover]

Im actually not certain, I assumed deaths as well

Not sure what has to die, but that's my guess

[pallid tangle]

Pmcs maybe

I'm not digging the random health effects either

[astral horizon]

yeah.. this event seems very forced

this is my second wipe and i just can't do any woods tasks anymore

as it has happened for my last 3 raids

is there any way to profit from this event? it can't all be negative right

apparently you can kill AI scavs as a scav without negative karma

[bold kernel]

anyone with director key willing to help me with delivery from the past?

[grave blade]

Howdy I just got the game running yesterday. I have been wanting to play it for a long time. And I am in serious need of some assistance with what the hell I’m doing. I’ve done a couple scavs, but I don’t understand how to get extracted.

[oblique spire]

have a map with you

and try to get the feeling for your location

for example, on customs that big skeleton building is the middle of the map, and the island you can cross to is crossroads side

[grave blade]

Thank you. I understand have a map but I can’t buy one yet for some reason.

[long plover]

have a map up on second monitor

mapgenie is really good

[chrome nova]

you do not have to buy it, just open it on your phone from the web site

[grave blade]

I got you now

I didn’t even think of that

Like I said I’m pretty green.

[chrome nova]

everyone was there, watch some Yotube tutorial, and engage in offline raid whe you do not lost anything if die

offline raids are very good to learn some maps and extraction

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/521626362251837451/1035960131004940310/unknown.png

[outer silo]

sell it all

[grave blade]

Yeah I’m probably gonna have to do more tutorials.

I’m just pissed I don’t have a lot of stuff because I’ve died a few times in game.

[hushed field]

I looked at my overall character stats and it said I killed 2 bosses, although I had never killed a boss before. Is there like another enemy that can meet that category?

[bold kernel]

you can reset your ingame inventory on the battlestategames website

[grave blade]

Awesome that’s nice feature that they have

[chrome nova]

and you will die more and more, if you have survival rate like 40% it is very good

[half pewter]

bt

[marsh adder]

does the halloween event effect scav behaviour? im getting swarmed by packs of like 6 scavs out of nowhere. i dont have pumkin so im not tagged and cursed

[grave blade]

Oh man I’m planning on dying a lot.

[brave void]

whats going on with food and water consumption

[marsh adder]

@brave void part of halloween event, increased consumption

[brave void]

thanks

[edgy plover]

#sherpa-info and #pvp-lfg as well as these beginner channels are great places to look/ask for help. I sent you a DM with some other useful stuff as well

[grave blade]

Thank you got your message

[hushed field]

I’m pretty sure you need to be in #pvp-lfg for that

[glossy roost]

@hushed field ok thank you sorry didnt know

[solemn ocean]

Hi everyone, I'm new (lvl10) playing on EU servers, can anyone help me lvl up and learn how to survive PvP?

[slim fractal]

they're always the same

[frigid finch]

wow....turned a corner on interchange and just got fucking blasted by tagilla, no voice lines, no noise, he wasnt moving...just insane

this event is literally the most garbage thing i have ever played

[hushed field]

Frr

[warm aurora]

you eaither killed rouges are raiders

[hushed field]

That’s what it was, thanks

[leaden cove]

which one is the worst ( for selling )

[warm aurora]

idk

[warm aurora]

airframe is the worst of those helmets

[fervent ermine]

no lol

exfil tan is worse

a lot worse

[tepid garnet]

No it isn’t?

[whole thistle]

you cant put the face shield on the black one right

[mint light]

exfil tan sucks

[leaden cove]

why is he holding the gun that weird ?

[sturdy flame]

selling my 6+ exfil tans right now

the chosen one has spoken

it's imperative to oblige

[whole thistle]

you have no rear sight

[pastel current]

sell the exfils, they do the exact same thing but the're worth more to ragman, if you get the ear attachment for them and sell it its already worth like 100k to ragman

[bold kernel]

lvl8 got the game a few weeks ago and learn the basics on healing and damage but would like to learn maps like interchange and customs. stuck in woods and factory for pvp atm. any help appreciated.

[pastel peak]

Watch guide videos about the map, and just play the maps.

[frigid finch]

use mapgenie and landmarks to navigate...its really easy once you get the hang of it

[pastel peak]

nothing beats personal experience

[frigid finch]

everyone expects there is some magical way to learn this shit...instead, of you know...just learning

[pastel peak]

yeah

[frigid finch]

paraphrasing that saying.....those who are better than you have failed more times than you ever attempted

[brittle path]

havent been paying much attention to updates but how do i survive the toxins now?

[chrome nova]

if you start raid poisoned because of this event, then just take Augmentin with you

[sturdy flame]

you can buy them for 20k currently on flea

prices dropped

best time to buy and bring one in

[austere hound]

Milk also works

[chrome nova]

this should be back to normal tomorrow or after tomorrow anyway

pineapple juice work as Propital 🙂

[leaden cove]

where do scavs on reserve spawn ?

[toxic dirge]

First wipe, looking for someone to teach the game to me

[austere hound]

You mean raiders or scavs

[tepid garnet]

Can’t teach the game to you. But if you end up needing help with some beginning tasks, hmu.

If you want to learn game, do trial and error or watch YouTube.

[toxic dirge]

Ill take some help

[toxic dirge]

https://discordapp.com/channels/521608697764380694/667459848480227328

[leaden cove]

scavs

[tepid garnet]

Oh sorry man. Still want help? I went into a factory raid

[toxic dirge]

Nah, its fine. Someone else joined

[tepid garnet]

Aight cool

[patent cosmos]

the Halloween counter just reached 666666 does that mean anything

[tepid garnet]

Yea. 30 minutes of pitch black and stormy raids

[patent cosmos]

whens its nott 666666 there are no random night raids?

cuz i got a pretty juicy kit on a scav and i wanna use it but i really dont feel like wasting it on a random night raid

poor dude

tried maybe lowing the settings

wth

i actually dont know

why did u bother to check if ur pc can run the game of u play on a macos💀 💀 💀

wth boi

go check on the intenret

if u can refund

yah

bro

i was watching

skull

[tepid garnet]

Yea. BSG doesn’t do refunds

[patent cosmos]

gaw dayum

did u buy standart?

just curious

then why did u ask

if they refund

just dont buy it

there are plenty of fun games that dont need great pcs ; ) or save money or a better one

and then youll be able to play tarkov

cuz the game is fun but very difficult

i suffered a lot before i started enojoying it

acquired taste

i5 💀

yeah

u cant run this

this game is pushing cpus real hard

with an i5

might as well play on a potato💀

and what game is it

casgo is a game from like 2012 brotha

most pcs can run it with ease these days

and on high fps too

and listen i aint no expert i gave u an answer that is (my opinion) if u dont like my opinion just stop arguing weather ur pc can handle it or no and just buy it and see for yourself

same for valorant btw

thsi specifically designed the gaphics so ppl could play it on high fps

i told ya idk

if the rep with refunds is basd

just dont buy the game

kk

[tepid garnet]

Based

[topaz forge]

[loud crown]

@gloomy bobcat stop playing league

[whole thistle]

[frigid finch]

[whole thistle]

they are russian

i havent seen many people want refunds, game is pretty good

[primal niche]

can someone help me with the bronze pocket watch task? NA

[obtuse sandal]

damn it's tough coming back to this game as a newbie for my second wipe and getting out of breath after 2 mins or just bleeding out or or .. poisonned seriously i just want to re-learn in peace lol, when does this event ends ?

[whole thistle]

theres max a few days left

could end tomorrow

[obtuse sandal]

okay ty hopefully

i didn't even knew there was that thing so i didn't understood where the crap was coming from lol

then i saw some pumpkins around xD

[lyric summit]

ive been trying to do checking every time i get to the truck or get close i get shot not fun

[mint light]

[stiff fractal]

We found 3 salewas in med camp yesterday first 2 minutes of raid.

[lyric summit]

will keep going there thanks guys

hopefully i dont die lol

[tepid garnet]

Oh yea that’s the singular best place for salewas in tarkov imo.

I go there and jaegers note first raid every wipe and always complete both tasks in one run.

[lyric summit]

going to try it now will let you know how it goes

Died lol

[tepid garnet]

Based

[frigid finch]

lol god damn...just upgraded my med station to level 3 cause i had an LEDX just laying in my stash...had no fucking clue how much that thing cost lol

[oblique spire]

you would have needed a Ledx to upgrade anyway so no money wasted really

[frigid finch]

oh yea definitely not wasted, was just surprised

[oblique spire]

they are alot cheaper this wipe

last wipe they went for like 1.5 mil

but i didnt get flee last wipe so i dunno

[sturdy flame]

244k to make this gun without max traders and just flea

sobbing because im going to take it to factory anyways

[frigid finch]

lol just let me know when you queue so i can one shot you with a 30k shotgun+flech lol

[sturdy flame]

i will make sure to do that 😔

i think im going to take off the grip and use it on a better build, not letting this 130k grip see the light of day on factory

[frigid finch]

you do you lol

[sturdy flame]

ill just slap an RK-1

[stiff fractal]

Just use it. Money is not a factor

[arctic loom]

Quick question. Is the train extract on lighthouse a guaranteed one? or is it a x% chance of train arriving?

[proper forum]

How to overcome this gear fear? got so many better guns, all traders at lvl 4 but still feel most comfortable just doing loot/stash runs with ak-74n

[topaz forge]

just do it

you have like infinite supply

[terse blade]

reset account... it helps a lot with gear fear 🙂

[topaz forge]

11 mil and a billion guns

you could run everything, die every time, and still have money left over

[drowsy grove]

Is Woods or Interchange better for finding food as a new player?

[topaz forge]

interchange has a ton of food all in one spot in goshan, id recommend that

[proper forum]

but dying is not fun

[unreal horizon]

i cant tell if this is satire

[terse blade]

as a new player always go woods

[proper forum]

what do you think why I have that much stuff? mostly doing interchange stash runs on the outside....

[drowsy grove]

Tried Woods once and navigating natural terrain always confuses the heck out of me

[topaz forge]

you dont have to spam every raid using those good guns, take breaks when you get tired of it and do your normal stash runs

[drowsy grove]

Even with a map

[unreal horizon]

gear fear won't just go away, you need to use gear and get desensitized to losing it

[topaz forge]

you could alternate, 1 stash run 1 normal run

[dusk bear]

my second time on the game if anyone wants to team up

[proper forum]

normal runs are so stressful 🙂

[unreal horizon]

thats what makes it fun

i mean would you rather die and learn with the guns or wait and let it get nuked with wipe

[stiff fractal]

I hoard gear like that. But i run meta kits every raid

[terse blade]

my first whipe in a nutshell

[stiff fractal]

I dont hoard money. I like watching gear pile grow but i dont let it hold me back from using my best stuff

[proper forum]

the problem was, I said to myself, ok when I have max strength I will stop loot runs and play normally. But now I am at strength 37 so far, it takes really a long time. about 200 interchange stash runs before. Before that I did all the missions to have all traders lvl 4 and their stuff.

[terse blade]

flipflop how about running all the gear until you are 4 mill rich and got nothing left

[proper forum]

but really, only one in 10-15 outside interchange runs I meet one PMC there, and 75% they are timmies too.

[lyric summit]

usually i just say go for it and then die and lose all my gear but scav runs help me get back on my feet

im not very good lol

[stiff fractal]

I hoard exfils. But always run your best stuff

[stiff fractal]

Doing a quick factory scav after you die helps alot

[lyric summit]

i remember couple years ago my stash looked like that and yeah thats usually what i do

i used to play before the weight system and that was redone back in 2020/21 but not played since start of 2021

just so much now to relearn

[stiff fractal]

Yeah its changed alot

Which is good of course

[lyric summit]

yeah ofc

[stiff fractal]

Some changes haven’t been for the better. But certainly some have.

[lyric summit]

my aim has gotten worse tho it was good at one point but not now

[stiff fractal]

Recoil changes havent helped

Havent helped your aim i mean

Much harder now

[lyric summit]

yeah i can tell one of the first things i noticed was recoil changes

[stiff fractal]

Comparing old as val to current is night and day. Performs like a different gun entirely

Recoil isnt proper as is imo. But certainly old recoil wasnt either.

[zinc canopy]

Old Val and old sa58 old 416 I miss all of them

[stiff fractal]

All not meta anymore

[lyric summit]

Spartan do u think you could help me get 2 salewas from med camp in like 5 minutes

[stiff fractal]

Na servers?

[lyric summit]

no eu but i can change cant i?

[stiff fractal]

Id host. I set to Washington dc and new york since i play with alot of eu guys

Toss me a dm

[lyric summit]

okay

think you need to add me wont let me dm

[stiff fractal]

Added

Ill change my privacy settings

[topaz forge]

fuck da new recoil

i hate it

its trash

[primal niche]

can someone help with getting the key and the pocketwatch on customs

[crystal fox]

u lucky we not in the same raids id take that shit off ur hands w that shit face mask lol

[stiff fractal]

Youre so brave and strong. What a chad

[zinc canopy]

They just said what servers they are on what map they are going to. go get them then

[stiff fractal]

Yep. Find me on woods NY and DC servers. Daytime in med camp

Ill have an adar friend with me who needs salewas

[tiny bear]

is there a lfg channel

[zinc canopy]

#pvp-lfg

[fierce narwhal]

average event run that i exited be like:

[drowsy grove]

Is the 12/70 "Poleva-3" Slug good for very early game?

[opaque garnet]

I see so many clips where people don't ADS but still land headshots consistently. Why is ADS-ing so bad?

[unreal horizon]

you get aimpunched and have more perceived recoil

[opaque garnet]

I guess I just suck. Can't headshot with ADS, can't headshot without.

[drowsy grove]

You'll get better with time :)

[opaque garnet]

3rd wipe, 900~ hours, I don't have much hope of that happening lmao

[unreal horizon]

yikes

idk ig just focus on smart pvp

[median hornet]

why whenever I watch people like rengawr when they peek right and left it seems like can do it alot quicker than me? is it like a setting

[unreal horizon]

need to use w or s to buffer a-d strafing

also just high strength

[median hornet]

no I mean the q and e peeking

[stiff fractal]

Yeah he knows

Strength helps

[topaz forge]

yea pretty sure that is affected by strength and weight

[stiff fractal]

Less inertia because less weight

[fluid linden]

Hey guys

[stiff fractal]

Hey bozo

[jagged marten]

[full mango]

Guys I connect my headphone to my computer but the sound gets very blurry when I turn the voip on

It is basically the sound quality when I am calling someone

If I turn the voip off then the problem is solved

Do you guys know what is going on?

Is it because when I turn the voip on my headphone goes calling mode which has a way blurry sound?

[whole thistle]

At close range aiming is pointless, it just makes you an easier target

You can learn how to hipfire it's consistent

[median hornet]

out of shoreline, the inside of interchange and reserve what would be the best one to learn first?

[mint light]

none of those

[unreal horizon]

shoreline

[peak fulcrum]

Personal opinion woods it’s got lots of cover to move around safe, but it’s also depended on the person you can search Tarkov map genie to see the layouts of all the maps for more info on what each map has to offer in size

[unreal horizon]

since quests

[mint light]

shoreline woods customs

every other map not rly needed unless u specifically want to play it

[whole thistle]

Like every ragman task is on interchange

[full mango]

Shoreline is safer than Woods because you know where everyone is going on Shoreline but not Woods

[full mango]

Just avoid the Resort and you are at least 70% of the time completely safe

[median hornet]

nono I know all the others it's just them three maps I don't know so I was wondering what would be the best option to choose

[mint light]

shoreline

[whole thistle]

The daily task grinder

[full mango]

Shoreline

[mint light]

did like 3

[median hornet]

ok thanks

[whole thistle]

Ragman gives fat xp I love him

[full mango]

I have like an over 70% survival rate on Shoreline and almost never die as a Scav

Cuz I rarely visit the Resort

[unreal horizon]

outside of resort its afk sim

[hexed gorge]

Anyone looking to do a duo and help me finish Extortionist already got the key i just cant get the file and get out been struggling
