[quartz kiln]

game is still in beta. plenty of time

[mint light]

38 recoil hk my beloved

[mint light]

been in beta 5 years. they made recoil like this recently

[graceful sable]

I wonder what would the game be like if they used rational stats. So minimum recoil on everything.

[mint light]

old recoil was so cool

[frigid finch]

every gun shouldnt be a laser though....shooting a full auto anything that isnt mounted will be insanely inaccurate past about 50 meters

[mint light]

every gun shouldnt be inaccurate like they are rn

[frigid finch]

oh agreed, its kinda insane lol...but they need to find a balance on how to make recoil management be for primarily close range fights, and unusable at anything medium to long range

[mint light]

realistic dosent mean fun

[frigid finch]

i mean, i think it would be more fun to have fights be who can better tap fire their weapon for control then spray and whoever gets the first headeyes wins

[graceful sable]

Simple question. With this the community is asking for a usable recoil with stock weapons or only mid-heavy modded guns?

[frigid finch]

i mean, even the most heavily modded guns in the real world are gonna be horribly inaccurate at 50+meters

[mint light]

all recoil

[bleak oak]

IRL guns have pretty low recoil if used by someone trained

[mint light]

the initial jump on every gun is wild

and stock guns are just unusable

watch old clips from like 12.11 and past and see the recoil

[frigid finch]

i am someone trained...and unless a gun is mounted or you are prone, standing/crouching and shooting is not accurate full auto past about 50 meters

[graceful sable]

Yes but, if we want that for stock guns then mods are just cosmetics.

[mint light]

stock guns currently are not usable

unless ur early wipe and everyone is using stock guns

even a 26 recoil m4 kicks like a mule for the first 5 bullets for no reason

[frigid finch]

yea that is insane, i agree with that

[bleak oak]

Depends which gun we're talking about.. and how accurate we're referring to

[graceful sable]

They could also solve that with ammo prices and shortages or smth.

[mint light]

recoil chances made guns like the sa58, hk, as val fall out of meta

[bleak oak]

and for sure, past 50 meters..

[mint light]

and replaced by 7.62x39

[frigid finch]

i mean, it doesnt really matter....you cant stop tiny little movements in your barrel on full auto....and after about 50 meters those tiny movements become huge inaccuracies....if you go prone or mount your gun it is different...but standing and shooting even just single fire at 100 meters is difficult

[graceful sable]

So, how would you guys solve the problem?

[stone tusk]

my backpack is full, what should i sell?

[frigid finch]

its hard, because players are too good at manipulating these systems....if you try to make stock weapons a little more useable it will most likely just mean there is no point in modding weapons

[stone tusk]

i feel everything is important

[jagged laurel]

all that would do

is make the player base not want to play

since all the sweats would have everything

[frigid finch]

not remove, but definitely reduce it quite a bit

[jagged laurel]

and the avereage player would have pst vs alytyn

[graceful sable]

Keep things required for hideout upgrades and quests.

[topaz glacier]

Iron man aint got shit on me jesus christ

[quartz kiln]

you'd have a field day with my stash then

[empty cloak]

how the heck do streamers have maxed looting (so they insta loot things 50%)
i play alot daily and im just level 9. (i have the liberary)

is there more i should know about leveling looting skill?

[topaz forge]

bruh

how many raids do you have with your pmc

[empty cloak]

about 300

[topaz forge]

thats why

[stone tusk]

how to split the item to half?

[topaz forge]

you need over 1000 for max search

[topaz forge]

hold ctrl + drag item

[topaz glacier]

Level 9 with library??

Legend

[stone tusk]

thanks

[topaz forge]

yea i dont even want to ask how or if this is possible

[quartz kiln]

I'm only LvL 8 and I only have workbench

[stiff bobcat]

Don’t you need like kitchen and living both like level 3 for library

That’s crazy u got it at level 9

[stone tusk]

as a beginner what should i sell

my stash is so full

[stiff bobcat]

A lot of newer players keep a bunch of gear and shit like extra backpacks,rigs ECT that you just be selling and if you don’t have the junk box from therapist you should defo get that

[stone tusk]

really

the one cost 110k

should i buy it?

[jagged laurel]

junk box is one mil

and its worth it

[stone tusk]

oh

1 million

fk

idk have that much

[jagged laurel]

then sell and buy

if your stash is full

just sell some stuff

unless its all meta gear and ammo

[quartz kiln]

Is it worth me ever buying ANYTHING from fence?

[jagged laurel]

almost never

sometimes a streamer will sell a bunch of valuable stuff like armor and ammo

and then yes it is worth

but in general never buy from fence

[quartz kiln]

so erm.. this is just a accumulation of parts/part built weapons I acquired..

I should sell the lot?

[jagged laurel]

a lot of those arent particularly valuable the items keep

but a lot of those weapon parts

sr25 I would keep

mutant I would keep

sell the mk17 thou

you dont really need that since you dont have the receiver

[quartz kiln]

what about the MCX?

[stiff bobcat]

Mcx is good but pretty sure u won’t have viable ammo for it for a while for you so I would sell it

[quartz kiln]

and the AI AMXC?

[stiff bobcat]

Id also sell things like your scopes and Acogs just cuz they aren’t particularly good and you won’t have the things you need to mount them for a while as well

[stiff bobcat]

Id sell it unless you have ammo for it

[quartz kiln]

it's hardly a gun, so yeah I'll sell

[stiff bobcat]

Money is gonna let you progress the fastest so there’s not any real point of hoarding weapons that you won’t use/ don’t have parts or ammo unlocked for

[quartz kiln]

fair enough

[exotic comet]

LF1 for duo still very new to the game only lvl 11 could someone to help me out and loot with dm for inv (na)

[quartz kiln]

you can. get a workbench

start with the base and add shit to it

you do.

idk wtf I'm meant to keep and not, so I keep most things

[stiff bobcat]

Building weapons from scratch isn’t really viable better to just find the full gun and prolly cheaper imo

[frigid finch]

is the G36 any good, got it out of an airdrop just now and have never used it

[unreal horizon]

it's good just not worth the price

if you found it might as well use

[frigid finch]

ahhh so if i got it for free good to use

[unreal horizon]

Id say so

[spark cypress]

when u complete chemical part 4 do you get injector case?

[whole thistle]

how did you even find all of those random receivers

[whole thistle]

if you give it to therapist

[quartz kiln]

"found" is a broad term

I thought the guns would be cool.. so I er.. got them from fence >_>

[whole thistle]

those dont even spawn anywhere

[whole thistle]

oh my fucking glorb

[quartz kiln]

yeah I knoe

bad

[whole thistle]

you either bought broken shit or overpayed a lot 💀

[quartz kiln]

probs both

[exotic comet]

LF1 for duo still very new to the game only lvl 11 could someone to help me out and loot with dm for inv (na)

[unreal horizon]

don't feel like doing quest runs but if anyone needs any parts for gunsmith or other niche items like that lmk I can drop them

[mint light]

i need 4 rsass just in case i misclick and discard the other 3

[frigid finch]

ok, i got to say....glock 18c leg meta is fun lol

[mint light]

whatever floats ur boat

[frigid finch]

just killed some dude with a full meta m4 in factory with it lol

[mint light]

prolly has 50 recoil

[stiff crystal]

Max is the goat

Can't go wrong with his advice

[mint light]

lol

did i tell u how to get 400000 roubles or something

[frigid finch]

36

[stiff crystal]

Nahhhhhh

[weak cairn]

Quick question. Does anybody know if there can spawn player scavs close to a pmc. Lets say im looting the lighthouse place on lighthouse. Can there then spawn a player scav there?

[mint light]

meh

[frigid finch]

lol i mean 50k vs a couple hundred k at least isnt a bad win

[mint light]

sure

[stiff crystal]

Doing the extortionist rn

[mint light]

fuck em up

quest isnt too hard

depends if u find players

[vapid yoke]

Where tf can I find a melidonin

[mint light]

literally everywhere on lighthouse

merin, broken boxes, chalet

[vapid yoke]

I don’t know loot spawns on lighthouse though

[mint light]

i get them quite literally every 2nd raid

[mint light]

i gave u the location, learn

[vapid yoke]

I know the map

I just don’t know lootspwnes

[mint light]

then u dont know the map

[vapid yoke]

I know how to make my way around the mls

Map

Lmao

[mint light]

yeah so u can just walk mindlessly around and do nothing

thats not knowing the map

[stiff crystal]

I had to kill three fucking scavs then just got rolled up on by an m4 Chad cuz of the noise

Rip

[mint light]

he prolly not chad

probably goober

[vapid yoke]

Dude he’s lvl 9

[stiff crystal]

Air frame and a nice m4 that's all I saw b4 5.56 to head

[vapid yoke]

Anyone is a chad compared to him

[frigid finch]

everyone is a chad to him lol

[vapid yoke]

Calm your ass down buddy

[stiff crystal]

Lmao true

[mint light]

chad is a playstyle, not a gear set

type of player

[vapid yoke]

Chad is gear

[mint light]

if i gave u a mk and a gzhel are u chad?

[vapid yoke]

Maybe not to you but a lot of people chad to hear

Yes

[mint light]

hmmm

jaja

[vapid yoke]

Compared to someone who lower level

[mint light]

they just geared

they not chad

they just juiced

[frigid finch]

yea there is a big dif...you could give any newb the most meta gear in the game, and put him up against a chad with a pistol and the chad will still prolly win lol

[mint light]

yes

[stiff crystal]

True

[mint light]

and if u give a noob good gear

he gonna sit in a corner

and hide

because he dont know what he doin

[stiff crystal]

Well that's if they are a ratty ass noob

I just push shit with a db sometimes

[mint light]

low lvls are rats, even if they dont know it

[quartz kiln]

I'm offended 😐 (jk I'm no snowflake)

[stiff crystal]

U got a point

[mint light]

just because they dont know whats going on

i spare the low lvls tho

im a saint

[stiff crystal]

I'm gonna get raped trying to do this quest

[mint light]

bro aint know what screenshots are

[stiff crystal]

Nah discord refuses to open on my pc

[quartz kiln]

alt+PrtScrn

[mint light]

win shift s

i aint wanna save dat shit

[quartz kiln]

fair enough

[mint light]

realest television kit

[vapid yoke]

What task

[lusty crow]

any use in bringing bandages/calok/alu splints when you have a load of grizzly's?

[stiff crystal]

The extortionist

[mint light]

i bring calok because it takes 8 years to heal bleed with grizzly

and u cant move

[mint light]

u have kedr

[stiff crystal]

Wait u can't move while using grizzly?

[mint light]

u will be leg meta god

[stiff crystal]

That's fucked

[mint light]

while healing bleeds

and broken bones

[stiff crystal]

Well kedr shooting p rounds

[mint light]

yeah shoot leg

[stiff crystal]

That's a lil dum

Aim for legs got it

[mint light]

or face with no helm

[vapid yoke]

Hit legs

[placid tree]

I mean idk if it's a good set up or not but this is what I usually bring health wise

[lusty crow]

so i have beta container. so i bring a grizzly and CMS.

[stiff crystal]

Wonder what meta kedr looking like

[vapid yoke]

They could have the best gear and still die in seconds doing leg meta

[mint light]

i dont recommend grizzle in container

takes up lots of space

[vapid yoke]

You can’t really add a lot to a kedr

[stiff crystal]

Ain't everyone as juiced as u

[frigid finch]

for a noob its honestly not a bad choice

[vapid yoke]

So there isn’t really a meta kedr

[mint light]

suppressed

[stiff crystal]

O fr

That it damn

Aight hold on just loaded in

[mint light]

just throw an afak or something if ur poor. grizzly is 4 slots lol

leaves u 2 slot spare

[lusty crow]

what should i bring in container? i swap out the grizzly for valuble loot but i dont think there is much else i need to bring with me that i could put in secure

[mint light]

i think u should buy a docs

if u have money

[lusty crow]

i do have one. but for what purpose?

[mint light]

my beta lineup is docs case injector case cms kit and ammo

[mint light]

holds keys, coins, currency, valuables

and intel items

diarys

etc

[lusty crow]

oh fair enough

[mint light]

flash drives

[lusty crow]

i dont have injector case yet either.

too poor for that one xD

[mint light]

u will soon

either from near quest or u just save

[placid tree]

idk what I did immediately when I unlocked the flea I bought a bunch of cases and upgraded my hideout 😭

[lusty crow]

same

[mint light]

what everyone do

[median inlet]

did some service

[mint light]

i kill pscavs

its funny

[median inlet]

i heard gunshots and a players scav coughing. connected the dots and chased his ass

[mint light]

i have 6 rep

so i get a free kill every other raid

[median inlet]

i have almost 3, but this late im not gonna make it to 6. so every now and then I kill a guy who might have good shit

[mint light]

i kill for pmc gear always

[vague fable]

Are we approaching a wipe?

[pliant remnant]

Hello everyone, what is the best map for beginners to lern movement and all the other stuff?

[vapid yoke]

Customs

[mint light]

customs and woods

[mint light]

in december

probably late december

[stiff crystal]

Damnit I got killed by an ak boy with a alytn

[pliant remnant]

Ok but customs is a small map with many campers or is that a wrong picture I got from the few rounds I had

[stiff crystal]

I can't get this fuckin quest

[mint light]

just start talking when u hear footsteps lol

no one knows ur a timmy till they swing u

[stiff crystal]

I got 20 into him but he fucked me up quicker

[mint light]

its a small pvp map rn, we are late wipe

[stiff crystal]

Fair enough

How good is 9x19 pst

[thick bison]

whyd they have to butcher injector case

[thick bison]

like u can kill scavs with it players its gonna be hard

[stiff crystal]

Aight

All I'm tryna do is grab this fucking thing and leave

[vapid yoke]

Hit legs

[stiff crystal]

I have been but damn

Is PST more of a flesh round than low tier armour

Like fmj

[thick bison]

no its just all 9x19 is bad

unless ur shotting legs with rip or quakemaker

PBP is alr but its really hard to get ap 6.3 is stupid expensive and sucks balls

[jaunty mantle]

Is anyone even playing ? 8 dead raids in a row. Maybe like 2 gunshots heard but not PMC’s seen NAW lol

[thick bison]

ya i notice late night u almost see nobody

[vapid yoke]

You can craft AP 6.3

[thick bison]

why would i wanna use it at all it sucks

[vapid yoke]

It’s not terrible

[thick bison]

does like 30 pen

[vapid yoke]

Neither is PBP

[thick bison]

PBP is fine its just super hard to get

[vapid yoke]

Yeah but it shreds when you get it

[vague fable]

Whats the best rifle to get as a starter USEC?

[thick bison]

adar is decent

[vague fable]

Better than m4?

[thick bison]

no but its alot cheaper

alos single fire is better for new players

[vague fable]

I don't really care about cash, I just want to know which one I should go for next

[thick bison]

id use adar

[vague fable]

Ok

[mint light]

rifle?

probably sks or vepr km

[vague fable]

Yeah

[mint light]

but overall id say ump

but its smg

[thick bison]

what level are u

[stiff crystal]

If you get a run through do u still keep retrieval quest items

[vague fable]

Almost 5

[viscid obsidian]

then SKS with PS ammo for the moment

[thick bison]

do u have jeager

[vague fable]

No, idk how to do that

[viscid obsidian]

do you have a quest to locate jeager?

[stiff crystal]

Did u go throught and exam all the shiz from the traders

To get the quest

[vague fable]

I haven't done any trader quests because every time I get a MP-133 I get sniped my someone light years away

[bleak oak]

Anyone got advice against someone with a grenade launcher? I get them in very close quarters so they can't shoot it without killing themselves?
or run like hell?

[mint light]

u just die

if they have the good ammo

[viscid obsidian]

those you can actually just buy and turn in though

[oblique ruin]

Just buy it from jaeger lol

[vague fable]

From where?

[vague fable]

I dont have him unlocked thats the issue

[oblique ruin]

Unlock him

Do mechanics task

[sly otter]

what 5.56 ammo is good 855 or fmj?

i am but i cant tell

should i go for more dmg or more pen?

[dusty dawn]

pen

damage only matters if it gets throguh armor or your doing leg meta

find a balanced round with a ton of pen and good damage

usual people suggest m855a1

or m856a1

[sly otter]

im lvl 15 only so i think 855 is the best ammo i can use

[dusty dawn]

try looking in the flea market i just startedat it myself this wipe cause ive been gone so i cant look

[thick bison]

YA IT IS

caps

[jagged laurel]

Use 762 over 556

[bleak oak]

Ya pretty much. I think my only chance was either nading him from cover to stop his push, and relocate

[mint light]

what i would do

is when i peak them just jump

and then they have no ammo and die

[thick bison]

lmao how tf do i got a 4 survival streak going factory

[unreal horizon]

wicked

i support exit camping but you should probably put time into learning the game

[mint light]

someone is gonna prefire u and ur gonna fold

[thick bison]

bro why just go do ur tasks ur just wasting ur time

most liekly wont even kill someone

[unreal horizon]

i mean you'll get gear and shit but its useless cause you wont know how to use it

impressive

[mint light]

doubt it

[jagged laurel]

If your extract camping you don’t

Your just waistline your time

What….

You had

So many options

So scav

Get a kit

[unreal horizon]

but i thought you can use guns

[jagged laurel]

Go stash run

Get some more money

Then you can kill rouges

So learn

[unreal horizon]

we didnt either lol

use a map

[jagged laurel]

You won’t progress otherwise

[sly otter]

i like customs stash run either with pmc or scav

[bold kernel]

I just started out and i wanna meet Killa and Tagilla so bad. They seem like nice people

[unreal horizon]

that's one way of describing them

[sly otter]

when you meet them bring my regards

[topaz glacier]

so uhh

[exotic comet]

LF1 to help me out and loot with dm for inv (na)

[topaz glacier]

oh whoops this is assistance

[ruby adder]

#pvp-lfg

[ashen spoke]

first time being lvl 26, kinda stuck on what guns to use. Anyone have any suggestions?

[unreal horizon]

ump might be good now that you can use ap

[thick bison]

factory clearing with flechette rn is pretty fun

[astral shore]

Anyone wanna help please, i hate customs and i have 3 quest to do here. 1. Locate water in dorms, 2.locate 4 fuel tankers, 3.obtain valuable cargo

[wraith ridge]

I can hop in a raid with u

[astral shore]

Really you know where these things are?

[wraith ridge]

yeah, I'm lv43, those quests are long past. u might have to tell me the name of the 3rd one

[astral shore]

I'll take all the help i can get man, cuz i normally run with my 2 friends but we are all new and we suck

[unreal horizon]

maybe extortionist?

[astral shore]

Ok 1 is BP depot, 2 is extortionist, 3 is operation aquarius

[wraith ridge]

ok, that's good

may not get to all the fuel tanks in one raid. we will see

[astral shore]

Im lvl 15 but i only got there because i always just run interchange

And maybe factory if im pissed and just wanna shoot everywhere lol

[wraith ridge]

are u already in a voice channel

[astral shore]

I have my laptop on dual screen

Can just send me a call

I'm fairly new at everything lol

[wraith ridge]

how about lets just join Customs #4

[astral shore]

I will let you know im a hoarder lol scared to loose my good stuff

[wraith ridge]

oh don't worry me too, i hoard way too much

[astral shore]

I have edge of darkness and oh man lol

[wraith ridge]

can u find the room?

[wintry tusk]

can anyone help me with delivery from the past?

[lusty crow]

any of these keys useless/not needed?

[stiff crystal]

Damn u got two keys I need

[lavish nebula]

can someone help me find jagers camp

[stiff crystal]

Looks up a woods map with it marked it's on the right side of the map by a crashed plane

There's a hunters stand and you need to grab the letter under it

[lavish nebula]

Yeah I do that but like its too hard to recognize were I am or were extracts are

[stiff crystal]

Map

[frigid finch]

is there any reason this loadout is not registering kills for the peacekeeping mission...untar helm/chest and m4a1?

[mint light]

have u done quest related to these keys? if so all of them

[lusty crow]

good to know. ill go through them ty

[thick bison]

bro i wouldnt even do that task

its way to time consuming and it doesnt lead to anything

[frigid finch]

noted, but any idea why its not working? my only guess is you cant use the gen 3 receiver on the m4 maybe?

[thick bison]

idk

[mint light]

i doubt ur on the wrong map

[frigid finch]

nah im on shoreline lol

do you maybe have to get all 12 at once?

[thick bison]

idk just drop the task

[stiff crystal]

Is key tool worth?

[unreal horizon]

not really

[frigid finch]

i mostly just find it nice if i need a bunch of keys for quests

[stiff crystal]

Fair enough

U think someone would take 300k to help out with a dorms task

[thick bison]

keytool is bad no

[unreal horizon]

i just use docs until jaeger 4, then sicc

at least it can hold shit you get

[thick bison]

ya

[stiff crystal]

Fair enough

I'm tempted on buying a lucky scav case from therapist for the like 1 mil should I do it?

My stash is dieing for space rn

[unreal horizon]

yes

[thick bison]

yes

[unreal horizon]

its pretty much necessary if you plan on making any real progress

[stiff crystal]

Fair enough

What's goes in it?

[unreal horizon]

barter items

[stiff crystal]

Like wires and small loot shit like that right

[unreal horizon]

yeah

you can sort your stash by it if you're curious

its one of the filters

[stiff crystal]

Aight bet I'ma buy it then

[latent tulip]

i need help

i bought the game last week lost everything over and over and over and havnt actually succesfully been able to complete and scavs or pmcs i dont want to give up on the game but like after 100 raids with zero i mean zero kills or luck what do i do

[frigid finch]

like you cant even kill scavs?

[latent tulip]

no i aim at them i shoot multiple bullets they just dont die

[unreal horizon]

do you understand the objectives of the game?

[latent tulip]

i try to loot i try to kill i try to exit

[unreal horizon]

like to you know maps and exits

[latent tulip]

and every single game i get wrecked

[dawn geyser]

Anything that isn't Thorax/Head will not kill unless you drop their HP to 0

[frigid finch]

are you checking ballistics? do you understand armor? are you using stock guns on full auto?

[dawn geyser]

Ammo/Armor is important

[latent tulip]

im so depleted i drop bombs in every other fps game accept this i try sneaking i try run n gun i try crawling ffs

no luck zip zero luck this sucks

[dawn geyser]

Record using shadowplay

[unreal horizon]

have you learned the maps?

[dawn geyser]

Post here

Get feedback

[latent tulip]

even with full plated aks smgs bandages health stims everything i died everytime couldnt even get a bullet off

[unreal horizon]

gear doesn't mean shit

[dawn geyser]

Record, post here, get feedback

[frigid finch]

literally this is one of the few games where your experience from any other shooter doesnt mean jack shit...you either need to empty your mind of this notion that you should be better than you are, or keep sucking

[jaunty mantle]

needs yalls opinion. I have only like 200 rounds of m995 but is it really worth using over m855a1?? Dmg is low 😦

[dawn geyser]

The only thing that will translate is your ability to learn a map

[thick bison]

ehh not really

[unreal horizon]

labs yes, any other map probably not

[latent tulip]

yes i agree ive been doing reserve over and over and over

i have the map and points of intrest as my background

[dawn geyser]

CQB/High PVP , sure

[unreal horizon]

why? no reason to go as a new player when your quests are on customs

[latent tulip]

same with factory

[dawn geyser]

I wouldn't even consider it

Just run it when you have it

[frigid finch]

reserve is a terrible map to start out on...do woods/customs

[dawn geyser]

And don't use it when you're sniping

[latent tulip]

ive done like 50 knife and bandages runs for pmc just bored waiting for the stupid count down for scavs

[dawn geyser]

Factory

Only 1 team is getting out of that

It's a PVP map

[latent tulip]

i die instantly 😄 😄 lol i love this game

[unreal horizon]

like have you watched any guides or read anything on the wiki?

like it takes effort to be that bad

there are so many resources

[dawn geyser]

Again, record your gameplay

Send it here for feedback

[latent tulip]

wood i got sniped 5 games in a row within 2 hours

[dawn geyser]

We're going around in circles now

[frigid finch]

you have to start asking yourself every death "what could i have done differently to survive" because ultimately, the majority of deaths in this game are your own fault

[latent tulip]

yh ill record it

[unreal horizon]

if you get sniped, dont path thru that area again that raid

[latent tulip]

i use stream labs though

[unreal horizon]

record your deaths, do not queue up again until you know why you died and how you could've fixed it

[latent tulip]

like guys dont get me wrong i spent 48 hours almost pondering buying this game i no what to do im just unexperienced with the game mechs i guess

[dawn geyser]

Looking forward to reviewing your gameplay

[unreal horizon]

💀

[frigid finch]

you will be for another few hundred hours...im 300 hours in and i still suck dick

[latent tulip]

countless yotuube videos and attempts i was just asking if someone would help like show me what they do in a game together or something

[unreal horizon]

make sure to spend time learning maps in offline mode

[frigid finch]

find something that works for your enjoyment....rat with a leg meta weapon somewhere and try to kill pmcs that arent expecting it....do cache runs....valuable spawn runs...it kinda comes down to how you want to play the game

[latent tulip]

will do thanks guys just gonna record a scav now

[dawn geyser]

Ok

[frigid finch]

are you shooting other scavs as a scav?

[bold kernel]

anyone know why raiders arent spawing in the reserve bunker? ive done like 9 raids with no raiders spawning

[unreal horizon]

its not guaranteed

just a chance they're there off the start, and a chance after you hit power

[bold kernel]

i pulled both the switches and still none

just unlucky i guess

[unreal horizon]

yup

[sudden skiff]

how do i get a bronze pocket watch?

[edgy panther]

[frigid finch]

33 lol

[edgy panther]

oh

[frigid finch]

its just bad luck lol

[edgy panther]

ye

[unreal horizon]

go pmc and bully scavenger

[edgy panther]

where should i go boys

[carmine oxide]

i just started the game and I used my PMC for the first time got shot by 3 different guys in the first minute

[frigid finch]

its like the game knows im only playing scav right now....im playing a game on my switch and playing scav on cd....and cant survive

[frigid finch]

thats rough lol

[carmine oxide]

im used to this kind of stuff i played the cycle before

[ripe temple]

to bed

:v)

[mint light]

fence items are shared between everyone

and dont buy it its just a mask lol

[steep fjord]

Is there a website that shows the game pov of the spot instead of an overhead map

It’s kinda hard to know where I am from a. Top perspecive

And I don’t know any of the maps

[unreal horizon]

no

just use landmarks lol

all the maps are pretty distinct

[thick bison]

youtube videos

[versed meteor]

ok so i was on light house scav and i found a dead body, started getting shot at. got to one of the APCs and was pinned, he threw grenades meaning hes close but i still has no idea where he was at. how do i fight that? because i just ran away like a bitch and extracted

[mint light]

peek and shoot him

lol

[versed meteor]

come on seriously i want to get better at this game

[mint light]

thats what id do

u peek an attempt to find him

[thick bison]

ur on a scav run it doesnt matter that much i would just try and fight

[mint light]

or if u can run to another cover and freelook that works

[versed meteor]

ik but lets say im a PMC thats what i mean, i should add i ran into some rocks and waiting for him but he didnt come

[thick bison]

bro ur overthinking

[unreal horizon]

dont loot in the open

[frigid finch]

i havent survived a raid on my scav or pmc for the last like, 5 hours....this is actually kind of insane bad luck

my s/r has dropped to 36, from 41 lol

[bold kernel]

anyone have portable bunkhouse key need it for quest

[slow vortex]

which 7.62x25 ammo is better?

thinking about going in factory with a ppsh

[thick bison]

it odesnt matter there all bad

[slow vortex]

so which would u recomend

[unreal horizon]

both suck, the only decent one is the grey with black tip, lrnpc i think its called

[versed meteor]

i just wanna know what i could have done differently in that situation, i just wanna get better

[thick bison]

blindly push idk

[mint linden]

terrible idea

[thick bison]

ur on a scav run it doesnt matter

[mint linden]

waiting for 30 minutes just to die pointlessly cuz "fuck it scav run" sucks

[thick bison]

its a great way to learn

[mint linden]

yes

man I hate shoreline

[stiff crystal]

If you don't like thier advice say ok and don't worry about it

[mint linden]

quick question

I'm also level 9 so I'm curious

[stiff crystal]

What

[mint linden]

what's ur stash looking like? No idea if I'm falling behind

[stiff crystal]

5mil worth a lucky scav junk box(1.1m) and 1.5 m roubles

[mint linden]

alr

[stiff crystal]

Just shitty stuff tbh

[mint linden]

I'm doing ok then

[stiff crystal]

Like too many damn back packs like two good rig/armour combos and 2 m4s and some ak 74's

[mint linden]

sell shit if youre too scared to use it

[stiff crystal]

Well I use it I just don't usually get the armour and helmet I need to use them efficiently

[mint linden]

I see

[stiff crystal]

I'll wait till I got the gear to run it right

Then lose it or profit

Usually lose it

[mint linden]

I just scav run factory

[stiff crystal]

Yeah I do that for warm ups

[mint linden]

I find dead bodies with armour/helmets left behind very often

I just snoop around until there's like 1 minute left

[stiff crystal]

I just scav run factory to get XP in kills and shit

And like mediocre kits I run through the day

[mint linden]

yeah

taking decent kits into factory is pretty good for getting kills

there's tons of rats

[polar salmon]

Whats the button to pull out a grenade

[mint linden]

I'm trying to collect dogtags so I can trade them for RSASS with peacekeeper level 3

[acoustic furnace]

G

[mint linden]

If it's in your rig or pockets u can keybind it

[acoustic furnace]

Oh yeah that too ^

Make sure its in your rig or pocket

[mint linden]

by dragging it to an empty hotbar slot

Yeh

Also g just yeets it so be careful

[polar salmon]

okie ty

Is factory a good way to level up?

[mint linden]

idk

What lvl r u

[polar salmon]

not expecting to get out

[thick bison]

i mean its ok

[polar salmon]

13

I only really play woods

[mint linden]

I recommend taking budget kits to do quests

[thick bison]

theres better ways tho like doing ur tasks and rogue farming

[polar salmon]

Rogue farming?

[mint linden]

Even though I never do it XD

[carmine sandal]

the key is to survive, way higher bonus to everything you do if you extract

[mint linden]

yeah

[mint linden]

I hate woods

If I take good loot I die out of nowhere

[carmine sandal]

woods is S tier

ya if hear shots and you are close by expect the rest of the server to show up

[mint linden]

If I take shit loot I run into a geared PMC who sucks and die to him and then rage cuz I would have got him with a decent gun

my luck is so ass

[jagged laurel]

its the player not the gear

[carmine sandal]

i had a night raid a few wipes ago, my 3 man killed all the cultists and 10 other players

in the same area

[mint linden]

Yeah ik, I'm saying I'm dying to shit players who have amazing gear because I take a pistol with a single mag and it makes me rage because I would've easily got them if I took something good

[jagged laurel]

then run something good

[mint linden]

but when I take good loot I just get sniped or something

[jagged laurel]

yes

so

[mint linden]

I get 1 tapped out of nowhere

[jagged laurel]

its something your doing wrong

[mint linden]

so play factory with shotgun

great idea will do

[jaunty fulcrum]

For the bp depot mission do i need to mark all 4 tankers in one go?

[mint light]

no

[mystic peak]

can anyone help me with bunker part 1 and 2 it’s my first wipe and i’ve never played Reserve

[frigid finch]

is there any point in going to labs if i suck at pvp

[viscid kraken]

you can just farm labs and not pvp, it's the craziest money there is

[frigid finch]

can you survive without pvp?

i havent tried it

[viscid kraken]

definitely, you have to know how to avoid/fight raiders though... it's possible to loot the entire map without shooting a single bullet

if you have an access card, you can give offline a go and see how well you can do

[jaunty fulcrum]

Bruh i keep freezing and getting disconnected

In raid

[oblique violet]

If anyone has questions or stuff about tarkov, lemme know I have over 3500 hours and bored atm!

Feel free to dm!

[exotic comet]

can someone walk me thru signal quest on shoreline please

[woven fiber]

bruh

got a different scav after loading in

[oblique violet]

YouTube and if you have a second monitor

[woven fiber]

ok then

😳

[latent tulip]

Anyone wanna help me do some reserve runs?

[soft zodiac]

How much should a violet keycard be sold for?

[carmine oxide]

i can do quests with my scav right ?

[woven fiber]

no, unless its to turn in FIR items

[carmine oxide]

yo my scav spawned with a lab card wtf

[unreal horizon]

will happen more the higher your rep

[exotic comet]

can someone wal kme thru signal quest on shoreline please

[carmine oxide]

im at -0.32 with fence

[marble spindle]

Bruh I coudlve killed the most stacked dude on my scav if I had buckshot 😭

[jaunty fulcrum]

What map general has more valuable loot

Im low on rubles rn so i wonder if theres a better option than runnin woods and interchange

[marble spindle]

Lighthouse

[marble spindle]

Woods is good

If ur not getting good loot on woods u just aren’t looking in the right places

[jaunty fulcrum]

I know most of the caches on woods lmao

[marble spindle]

I don’t even loot caches on woods really and I make a ton

[jaunty fulcrum]

What places do you go for

[carmine oxide]

well i have the mission called "introduction" but I couldnt find the paper with my scav, am I supposed to to it with my pmc then ?

[marble spindle]

Any place with a circle around it

Everywhere on woods has good loot

[woven fiber]

yes u need to do it with pmc

[woven fiber]

dont kill scavs

[carmine oxide]

yeah i know

but they started shooting at me somehow so I fired back and more of them came and ...

[woven fiber]

cause u probably hit one before they did

they dont shoot u if u dont shoot first

unless u have -6 rep or lower

player scavs do , sometimes. cant do much about it tho

try to get hit first then shoot back

so u dont lose rep

[carmine oxide]

im watching a lot of tutorial explaining how to play scav but theres so many different things to know

ik it takes time tho

[woven fiber]

u can farm rep hella fast by using car extracts as pmc

first run on every map gives 0.25 rep, then 0.13 , then 0.6

and so on

u can do them until u get to like 0.1

and run a new map

[jaunty fulcrum]

Should i get a keyholder thing

[woven fiber]

docs case

[agile helm]

how much money do you have

[jaunty fulcrum]

About 145k

[agile helm]

then no

[jaunty fulcrum]

But i have most of the things

[agile helm]

oh if you have the stuff for barter then sure

[atomic dirge]

anyone need some help? lvl 38 3rd wipe down for whatever

[woven fiber]

i need dorms marked for this ?

[atomic dirge]

yes

[woven fiber]

😔

[dawn geyser]

You can look in #pvp-lfg for someone to open the door for you if you want

Or even here

But

[jaunty fulcrum]

How much is the 7.62 mdr on the flea

[dawn geyser]

Not a whole lot of peepos on right now.

[atomic dirge]

can't sell it on flea

[dawn geyser]

.308 MDR isn't available IIRC.

[jaunty fulcrum]

Oo

[atomic dirge]

only from Peacekeeper lvl 4 loyalty

1634 USD

[stiff crystal]

Damn that's an expensive ass gun

[atomic dirge]

185k roubles

ye

[stiff crystal]

I would deadass pay someone 300k to open two doors and help me get a task done ngl

[atomic dirge]

lol what quest

[stiff crystal]

Ain't even hard door I'm just really unlucky with keys

It's the 206 dorms key and the tarkons office key quests

[atomic dirge]

lol PM me

let's do it

free no 300k

[woven fiber]

bruh 😄

[stiff crystal]

Maybe the pump house on factory for the gas an but thats only if the person feels chill about it

[stiff crystal]

Nah I ain't on rn so no worries

Might hit you up tm tho lol

[atomic dirge]

oh damn, lol yeah any time

[stiff crystal]

You na or ey

Eu

[atomic dirge]

NAE

[stiff crystal]

Sameeeeeee

That's sick

I'll send u a friend request for now and dm you tomorrow once I'm home from school

[atomic dirge]

sounds good man

[stiff crystal]

U sure u wanna do it for free tho

I'll pay u idm

[atomic dirge]

lol nah

I got 21m

all good boss

[agile helm]

Pumphouse isnt good for gas an,

[atomic dirge]

okay then what is

don't just tell him it's not good then give no alternative

lol

you can craft gas analyzers at lvl 1 workbench this wipe. takes forever but good to get the quest done

[agile helm]

stashes, duffles, loose loot spawns

[atomic dirge]

where

what map

those spawn everywhere

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

best places to find em listed here

[agile helm]

everywhere, i ran woods for mine.

[atomic dirge]

Okay well that's not helping players that are just starting

[agile helm]

why not?

[atomic dirge]

cause you're not giving them any accurate info on where gas analyzers have higher spawn rate

they can spawn "anywhere" yes

but there are places where their loot chance is much higher

that's what they're asking for

[woven fiber]

its not that deep, legit a random spawn

chill out

[atomic dirge]

lol it's also a workbench build now

[agile helm]

all you need to do is run northern loop, i find 1-2 per woods run

[atomic dirge]

that's what I'm trying to get across

make it in hideout

[agile helm]

and "higher spawn rate" is useless

[atomic dirge]

lolol

okay

[agile helm]

i mean. it 100% is

i ran pumping station probably 40 times last wipe, found 3 of them

[faint creek]

hello everyone i just downloaded EFT dont really know what im doing yet any tips are greatly appreciated

[woven fiber]

theres, so so so so many things u need to learn 😄

first just open a map and run around to find extracts

use wiki , youtube or get a teamate from here or sherpa to play w u

[median inlet]

whats the estimate player count?

like currently

[unreal horizon]

idk if its public

[jaunty fulcrum]

Is there any good .45 ammo on the flea market

[agile helm]

FMJ

Match FMJ to be precise

[jaunty fulcrum]

What about 12/70

[unreal horizon]

flechette or 8.5

[agile helm]

for slug best is superformance from WB2 or lead slug

Or if you can get it AP-20

[bold kernel]

why does this appear when I click to install the game

When I click repair it stays at 0

[midnight dragon]

Any noobs need help withj anything?

[thick bison]
