[crystal compass]

Nice

[cedar bay]

is the amount of raids in overall tab from all wipes or just this wipe?

[drifting jolt]

@crystal compass they all decrease ambient noise, like rain and such

[drifting jolt]

just this wipe, unfortunately

[cedar bay]

how the hell have I had time with 119 raids already, damn

[drifting jolt]

carefully... lol

[cedar bay]

huh?

[drifting jolt]

im just being silly

[crystal compass]

On thing I also wonder is for this essential items. Should I just buy them from vendors and insure them? Or is there a more efficient way to get them?

[drifting jolt]

essential items? elaborate

[crystal compass]

Mosin is 35k i think, pkus ammo and headset its like 50-60

[drifting jolt]

@crystal compass Also, insurance is always worth it, especially if your gear sucks, higher chance youll get it back

[crystal compass]

Yeah well, weapon and heaset

The rest incan find as scav i guess

[drifting jolt]

@crystal compass you get everything back you took in (except nades/ammo), but if no one takes it out of raid you get it back 100% of the time

[unreal horizon]

not sure if its what you mean, but buy everything except helm

dont reuse scav guns

[crystal compass]

Body armor I can extract easy i think as scav

[drifting jolt]

@crystal compass these are the 2 best/economical options before you get flea/ragman2

[unreal horizon]

helmets are worth using but not buying imo

[cedar bay]

i have heard that helmet is horrible, is it not?

[drifting jolt]

it can tank a scav round

[unreal horizon]

ratnik is better but both are budget

[crystal compass]

Nice thanks

[drifting jolt]

There is also this barter...

[crystal compass]

But once I buy them should I insure them? I cant afford many srta of those with 400k

[drifting jolt]

those bandanas are easy to find (half mask)

[drifting jolt]

i mean, you can always sell insurance returns back to the traders

[unreal horizon]

once you're done saving the masks for task

[drifting jolt]

i insure everything, every time, (unless its armor/helmet ive already repaired once or twice)

[vivid thunder]

or if you die to a scav with 10 minutes left on the clock in the middle of the map 😭
I got my full gear back, and had to sell off stuff to clear my stash

[crystal compass]

Ok

[crystal compass]

What does this mean?

[drifting jolt]

you get the insurance back... sell it to the traders if you dont wanna use it again

[crystal compass]

Like cancelling the insurance if you dont die?

[unreal horizon]

get a half built gun back and sell it cause fuck dat

[vivid thunder]

I think Mote meant the items you got back from insurance

[crystal compass]

A ok i understand

[drifting jolt]

@crystal compass so you wear that helmet/armor combo, insure, then die... tomorrow you get it back in insurance, you can wear it again or sell it to ragman if it's not too damagerd

[crystal compass]

That makes sense

So you just insure it and sell it later because it will be better money wise

[drifting jolt]

@crystal compass dont sell anything to fence that someone else will buy

[tardy crescent]

Don't be afraid to do a little insurance fraud either

[drifting jolt]

what im saying is you were saying insurance is expensive... but you still have the option of selling y our insurance stuff back to a trader

[crystal compass]

Yeah yeah got it

Didnt think about that

[drifting jolt]

@crystal compass and as @tardy crescent just mentioned... if you kill something witha better kit... go throw yours in a bush, or in the water somewhere, and then wear the new kit out... and then youre guaranteed to kit the kit back in insurance

[tardy crescent]

Fraud is a great way to slowly build up kits

[crystal compass]

I will use the items tou recommended plus 35k mosin until I can level traders

[drifting jolt]

Like I said, if no one takes it out of the raid, you have 100% chance of getting it back in insurance... So if you 'insurance fraud' items hiding them/dropping them somewhere, youll def get that kit back

[crystal compass]

Lol ok nice as well

[drifting jolt]

shotguns are a decent optoin once you unlock Jaeger

@crystal compass Only thing is, you dont get nades or ammo back in insurance, or any food or meds you took in

[crystal compass]

I think i learned more here than readin guides for a couple hours

[unreal horizon]

noice

[drifting jolt]

tip of the fedora

[crystal compass]

I though insurance worked only if you die

[drifting jolt]

nope

[crystal compass]

So good tip

[drifting jolt]

it just has to remain on the map by 0:00... and then youre good

[unreal horizon]

that makes too much sense for bsg

[drifting jolt]

Prapor has a 19-27 hour return time, if im not mistaken

[unreal horizon]

something like that

[crystal compass]

And for you guys with better items. Do you insure the top guns? When people will likely extract them if they kill you

[unreal horizon]

i dont insure other than thermals

[drifting jolt]

they might not take it though...

[crystal compass]

I guess in that case ill amhave a couple of extra mosin

[drifting jolt]

exactly, reuse the shit so you odnt have to buy more shit tomorrow, or at least not as many things

[tardy crescent]

You'd be surprised on how often you get good items back in insurance

[crystal compass]

I see

[vivid thunder]

PACA armor is a decent insurance pick I find

get it back quite often

[fallow walrus]

For some reason I can't turn in gunsmith part 5. What did I do wrong?

[unreal horizon]

i dont end up frauding much cause ppl on na servers build awful guns

maybe extended mag or smt

[bold badger]

can anyone help me get jaeger

just started the game

[drifting jolt]

double check a youtube video, that's how I do mine

[bold kernel]

what region?

[bold badger]

ok and us east

[bold kernel]

ahhh sorry Im oce :(

[bold badger]

its all good

[bold kernel]

i can give you a map and circle where you need to go

its close to the scav boss in mills

[bold badger]

ill just need to know where i am on the map lol

[bold kernel]

look at the landmarks and you got it

[pallid pumice]

do u want a website for all the maps?

[bold badger]

ok

sure carton

[pallid pumice]

https://mapgenie.io/tarkov

this is a great website

i am also new

[bold kernel]

that website gives me a headache lmao

[pallid pumice]

yaeger is very annoying to get just cause of how annoying it is to freaking leave

[pallid pumice]

yeah it it some time getting used to it

[bold kernel]

just hope you got outskirts as your extract

[pallid pumice]

god outskirts was super far

[drifting jolt]

you can enable/disable as many of the icons as youd like

[pallid pumice]

also kirisu are you new or are u really good?

[bold kernel]

😭 Ikr i god sniped by some high level five stacks

[unreal horizon]

ig new

lol

[bold kernel]

well bit of both 2.7KD in general mostly left raids but if your talking anything else but pvp nah

[pallid pumice]

because i wish i can show people my inventory of how BAD it is

[unreal horizon]

kd counts scavs so it doesnt mean much

fun to get it up though

[pallid pumice]

i will say im rich i bought 2 lucky scav boxes

im a loot goblin tbh

[bold kernel]

I usually avoid scavs 💀 they're a pain

[pallid pumice]

OMG I REMEMBERED I WAS LIKE i wonder where this scav was and i got DOMED

[bold kernel]

Im a dogtag collector 💪

[unreal horizon]

always be goblin 🤝

[pallid pumice]

thank the lord they nerfed it

[pallid pumice]

YESSIRRR i have 5m and idk what to do mostly just been trying to beat quests

[unreal horizon]

tbh i havent noticed scav changes

[bold kernel]

istg I always get killed by scavs rather than players

[pallid pumice]

i saw a tiktok where its like if u repeek a scav you will get headshotted and i tested it out in factory they were correct

[bold badger]

every raid ive been killed by a guy in a bush on woods everytime

[pallid pumice]

sounds about right

[unreal horizon]

yup

[pallid pumice]

wait can us west and us east play together

[unreal horizon]

woods is awful pre thermal

[pallid pumice]

because im down to help u out spicy

[vivid thunder]

wanna duo sometime? 🤔

[bold badger]

id be down just dont expect anything amazing lol

[unreal horizon]

used to default to whatever host has, havent grouped since changes so not sure

[vivid thunder]

but yeah, the Jaegr message is near the plane crash

[bold kernel]

okay quick question cause I only use ADAR but i got this lvl 53 with these guns should i just sell or keep?

[pallid pumice]

dw bruh im also new but i been playing scavs to help me traverse through the map

[bold kernel]

ofc message me whenever

[pallid pumice]

because im gonna be honest

its not easy learning woods its so cancer

[bold badger]

kirisu those look fat

[unreal horizon]

sell tbh

[pallid pumice]

LOL

[cedar bay]

why only use adar though?

[bold kernel]

IKR

[bold badger]

honestly getting you baring on woods is the hardest part

[bold kernel]

really easy for me to get those one taps

[unreal horizon]

scar is fine but i dont trust 556

[vivid thunder]

agree
only took 6 mines for me to avoid them

having the compass really helps in navigating woods

[cedar bay]

yea its a good gun but why dont you use other weapons to get more comfortable with variety?

[bold badger]

so now i need a compass ehh

[bold kernel]

I would love too but Im a money hoarder 💀

[pallid pumice]

wait why do u need a compass?

[vivid thunder]

Hoarder Anonymous

[unreal horizon]

sucks to navigate but prob prettiest map

[pallid pumice]

how much money u got?

[cedar bay]

ew those colors

this isnt fortnite

[bold kernel]

I have 6.3m rn Im thinking of hitting 15 for the flea market and buying guns to try out

[bold kernel]

alright

[pallid pumice]

oh wait guys how good is a red flare i heard they drop a airdrop and so i just been saving it?

[bold badger]

i was kidding its easier to go through woods with a compass form what kevin said

[cedar bay]

what level are you?

[drifting jolt]

i mean, if you can potentially defend it and go out...

[vivid thunder]

it's not needed; you just need to learn the landmarks
I just mention compass; because it makes things way easier for me

[unreal horizon]

lol this is the toned down version i used to have everything purple

[pallid pumice]

im at 5.9 mill and trying to get flea market lol

[drifting jolt]

compass can help, but if you cant read a map the compass aint gonna do shit

[bold kernel]

lvl 8 just been playing with friends and selling our whole inventories and pvping 💀

[bold badger]

i have no sense of direction thats my problem

[pallid pumice]

im gonna get clapped if i do

[cedar bay]

dont you save any barter items?

[vivid thunder]

you get compass on your 2nd Prapov quest; it's fairly easy
but.... the quest is on Woods 💀

[pallid pumice]

eh so so i keep the items i know i need for hideout and sell the rest i dont need

[drifting jolt]

wait and save it for when youre more sure of yourself and the map you want to use it on

well this was cool... https://streamable.com/pfl20p

[daring stag]

wtf is up with scavs taking shots to the face?

[pallid pumice]

WHAT

THE JUGGERNOG OF A SCAV

[bold kernel]

I am a bit dumb though and sold all my guns now i have 10 Adars and 2 umps a bunch of armour and backpacs and comtac 2s

[pallid pumice]

wait no thats not even a scav

[drifting jolt]

fucking ridiculous, that's the worst shit ive seen all wipe

[pallid pumice]

wait was it a SCAV????

[marble ether]

W..t....F is an "Exhaustion" death

[elfin gulch]

starvation

[drifting jolt]

it was a rogue

[unreal horizon]

https://streamable.com/2s5xl9

[pallid pumice]

u get tired and starve

[drifting jolt]

but still

[unreal horizon]

no desync in tarkov

[drifting jolt]

oh that's fun!

[pallid pumice]

jesus thats still bad

[daring stag]

litterally shot a scav in the face, he even made a sound from being hit, but it never registered as a hit. Shit is glitched.

[drifting jolt]

usually not that bad

[pallid pumice]

THE PVP GOD

[elfin gulch]

i mowed down a guy in woods and was curious how much damage i did because he was still standing and apparently i didnt shoot at all 💀

[pallid pumice]

LOL

[unreal horizon]

high octane intense fight

thats why i play high ping

[pallid pumice]

wait how good is a surgical CMS kit

[unreal horizon]

its fine lol

[pallid pumice]

i got one from my scav raid since i wanted to run a cheap kit

[unreal horizon]

fixes blacked limbs

[drifting jolt]

i mean, it unblacks limbs...

[pallid pumice]

WHAT

LETSGOOO

[drifting jolt]

face palm

lol

[elfin gulch]

surv12 also does it too

[bold badger]

i even knew that lol

[pallid pumice]

oh and also how good is yalls fenec rep

i am at 2.0

im a good scav

[bold kernel]

lowers scav times

[pallid pumice]

and NO i dont do only scav runs i just use car extracts on customs

and woods

[elfin gulch]

anyone know why killing santa as a pmc got rid of rep even tho he shot first? curious because it happened to my friend

[pallid pumice]

no like whats ur rep on fence

[bold kernel]

oh and unlocks more to fence but thats really it and im a trash scav 💀 people always shoot at me and i have to kill them fuckin -1.34 rn

[pallid pumice]

WHATTTTTTTT

[bold kernel]

yeah people always shoot and miss and i end up shooting them first

[pallid pumice]

jesus most of my scav runs are other people that are interested in trading

[unreal horizon]

only reason to grind scav karma is for access cards

[pallid pumice]

I HAVE 5

JUST FROM SCAV BABY

[bold kernel]

Im moving to the US fuck that

[unreal horizon]

cause fuck waiting for thera restock

[rich basin]

something wrong with gunsmith pt 10, says 4.8 weight instead of 4.8

[pallid pumice]

LOL yeah most of my scav runs havent been that bad i just talk to other scavs and just trade with them in factory

[bold kernel]

lemme quickly finish off this factory run brb

[pallid pumice]

good luck

[bold kernel]

yeah once i move invite me 😭

[pallid pumice]

LMAOOOOO

also uh

i feel like

i dont need 3 hand drills

[drifting jolt]

dont scav Factory, it's a waste of time

[elfin gulch]

unless ur spamming for rep

[bold kernel]

😭 I'm the traitor scav this run fuck me dude literal instinct to kill anyone wearing a helmet

[pallid pumice]

eh its been ok i gotten a lot of stuff there like my hand drill, intelligence folder but yk i will scav at like customs are smt its just that factory its super easy to tell if its a scav or not but in like customs i get confused to all hell

[elfin gulch]

i had like 7 scav rep last wipe and for anyone trying to get rep and not lose it dont shoot first unless theres its very obvious

[elfin gulch]

if you press F1 as a scav you can do a scav voiceline to show youre a scav btw

[unreal horizon]

shocker lol

[cedar bay]

is it possible to tag backpacks and rigs like you can tag containers?

[unreal horizon]

not yet

just mags

[bold kernel]

I always shoot first cause for some reason all my servers are unfriendly even if i wiggle I've met a total of 3 friendly scavs through 73 raids

[pallid pumice]

ONLY 3

[elfin gulch]

eu is tough lmao played a wipe in germany wasnt too fun

[vivid thunder]

most of the scavs I encountered have been pretty chill
half of them are oblivious that I was there, and just ran past me (Asia)

[elfin gulch]

at least i thought u said u were eu

[bold kernel]

yep i've met more chill pmcs in interchange who usually ask to do co-op extract

[unreal horizon]

eu servers are fun ppl just mindlessly w key you

[elfin gulch]

dunno about now but like 2 wipes ago eu was harder than na imo

[unreal horizon]

players are better

[elfin gulch]

yeah

[unreal horizon]

used to play eu but get ping kicked post server changes

[elfin gulch]

yeah i hate server changes

[unreal horizon]

yup

[elfin gulch]

i used to play on 3 servers so i could play with my eu friend but now its choppy for him sometimes hes ok but other times hes not

[pallid pumice]

oh but i will say

i cant play streets of tarkov

its so laggy

[elfin gulch]

^

[pallid pumice]

like i get 30 fps and i rubberband all o ver the space

[unreal horizon]

is for everyone

shit map

[elfin gulch]

REAL

[pallid pumice]

LIKE IT WAS COOL AND ALL AND I WAS LIKE oh sick new map let me try it

[unreal horizon]

labs only good map cause high fps

[pallid pumice]

ITS SO BLOODY LAGGY

[elfin gulch]

labs is p fun

[pallid pumice]

i havent tried labs yet but i do have a good key for it

the weapon testing key

[elfin gulch]

i cant even do streets quests im practically bottlenecked from doing certain quests

[unreal horizon]

prewipe its fun now its just crabs

[elfin gulch]

i run shit frames then ide

die*

[pallid pumice]

so for me its different

[elfin gulch]

i just wish they would see the reaction to the map before making quests on it

[pallid pumice]

i have a superpower

its called

[bold badger]

i got jaeger

ive done it

[elfin gulch]

dope

[pallid pumice]

the enemy is so flabbergasted and shoots the shadow of me

[prime sapphire]

Yeah streets is a mess. Like anyy newly released map in the past.

[pallid pumice]

wooooooo gj dude

[unreal horizon]

would be neat if they had playtesters

[elfin gulch]

yeah and when the optimization issue comes up people defend them about it

i get its hard to optimize but come on all this time for streets just to be unoptimized

[prime sapphire]

^ honestly

[unreal horizon]

theyre already 2 years late delivering, might as well make it polished

[regal cobalt]

any help with gunsmith part 8? can't turn in :/

[elfin gulch]

id rather wait another year and have it run smooth than this

[drifting jolt]

Camping scav camp, what a dick hole

[unreal horizon]

shits dead in a year if they keep dropping awful patches

[unreal horizon]

balanced gun is balanced

[bold badger]

sick the ump plays

love to see it

[drifting jolt]

UMP is nice

[elfin gulch]

i enjoy this game a lot but i think it was better a wipe or 2 ago

[unreal horizon]

true

more like 4-5 wipes ago but yeah

[drifting jolt]

i think the game only gets better, for the most part

[elfin gulch]

and binaural audio sadge

[drifting jolt]

some of the changes blow

[bold kernel]

quick question but can anyone tell me whats a good gun for mostly just doming people in one shot? (not a sniper)

[drifting jolt]

aiming, not the gun...

[unreal horizon]

literally any gun except mp7

[elfin gulch]

any gun

[elfin gulch]

if you find an adar on a scav you can take a receiver from skier and fix the gun entirely, good budget gun and good gun generally though im not sure with the new ammo changes

[grizzled plume]

anyone wanna join me? idk extracts for any map other than factory so you gotta be my guide

[elfin gulch]

i can vc and help you

[vivid thunder]

Deadman sure is dead 💀

[bold kernel]

aiming is the easy part but i always hit their helmet 😭

[unreal horizon]

imo adar is fun but bad, same as ak545

[bold kernel]

hmmm

[prime sapphire]

Same as PB

[vivid thunder]

idk, ADAR with 20-capacity mags is pretty pog
then again it's the only decent gun I own atm with a scope and some experience in

[drifting jolt]

https://streamable.com/apvfow

this was that raid

[unreal horizon]

same as all guns that dont shoot bp

[bold kernel]

20? my adar has a 35 round mag

[vivid thunder]

on a budget 😭

[elfin gulch]

unpopular opinion: sag ak and ak545 are underrated when it comes to the cal

[bold kernel]

but like my budget was 17k 💀 i just killed a player with a glock so technically-

[elfin gulch]

just run standard stock idk

try not to full auto tho

[unreal horizon]

the ergo is cool but redundant since if you're going ergo/long range 545 wont 1 tap anyway

[elfin gulch]

or atleast a lot if you need to then do it

[tacit crow]

lfg first wipe lvl 10

[elfin gulch]

let me rephrase actually

it is a good cheaper gun for low recoil

[unreal horizon]

but like ump exists

[elfin gulch]

yeah

[unreal horizon]

for budget maybe

[elfin gulch]

switch handguard

idk if it works on that gun but i think skier sells a wooden handguard with built in foregrip

[unreal horizon]

should

[elfin gulch]

i only use it on pp19 but similar platform

also good

[loud haven]

People have been saying this for years it’s unlikely

[unreal horizon]

lol

[naive atlas]

hello can someone help with delivery from the past

[elfin gulch]

i think the only reason why it isnt gonna die is because there isnt much competition similar to tarkov style

[unreal horizon]

agreed

granted tarkov needs competition to actually improve

lose lose

[elfin gulch]

competition will kill it but could also save it

more likely kill if a game like this was made though

[unreal horizon]

revert to val wipe lol

shit was bussin

[elfin gulch]

i hate the rmt counter updates

[unreal horizon]

biggest complaints are inertia and audio

[elfin gulch]

i think attempts at fixing rmt actually brought more violent hacking in

audio is big i like the old one more

[unreal horizon]

im shocked they made it worse than it was before

i didnt think they could

[elfin gulch]

yeah i could deal with the audio before but like

come on ive played games with like 10 developers working on it that sound better

[unreal horizon]

i mean ig audio isnt as big an issue when no one fucking moves

[drifting jolt]

Interchange is a nightmare

[elfin gulch]

arena needs to release so i can js play that and only that

[drifting jolt]

you can hear someone reload on the top floor from the parking garage

[unreal horizon]

would be sick if arena was on a pre inertia patch

[unreal horizon]

earlier i heard ultra door open from parking its goofy

[elfin gulch]

last i can remember the only things i heard across map rarely last wipes were keys and scavs

but still it was like 1 time every couple raids

[elfin elm]

I still get gunshots getting randomly really loud for split second

[cedar bay]

i dont think I will make it to the extract if i dont drop anything 🥲

[drifting jolt]

this was fixed, mostly, last wipe

mostly...

[elfin elm]

I meant I was getting it last night

so not exactly fixed is it?

lol

[unreal horizon]

need to juggle backpack

only way to get it out without mule

[cedar bay]

yea but its too far with too little time

i had to drop the armor kit, its not worth as much as the tank battery

i found an airdrop as well, god damn it what is this run

[forest skiff]

Drop armor repair

[cedar bay]

i did, I said so xD

[elfin elm]

are toolkit worth mulah now that they're in more crafts?

[cedar bay]

it doesnt weigh much if you were thinking about my situation

[elfin elm]

true, comparatively it is quite light

[cedar bay]

its 1kg compared to like 14kg

[elfin elm]

I was looking at the space available before I looked at weight

since you mentioned you looted another drop

[cedar bay]

yea but the weight is the problem

would never have made it out

i still might not

[elfin elm]

lol, stop chatting and run bro

[cedar bay]

im chatting when im regenerating stamina XD

[elfin elm]

I'd likely do the prone strat

if you're that heavy

[cedar bay]

just prone the whole way? nah it drains too much

i can drop the backpack to gain stamina faster

[unreal horizon]

you dont need stam

just juggle your bag

[cedar bay]

I wouldnt have made it as I said already

so i dropped the armor kit to be able to sprint

[unreal horizon]

lol

[cedar bay]

I just made it out with 23 seconds left

and I ran/walked for like 10mins with all that stuff

[elfin elm]

lol

[stoic girder]

how long does it take for an airdrop to land?

the wiki says 20 minutes i think but i may have misread

[vivid thunder]

when you see the package dropping, it shouldn't take more than 3 minutes

[stoic girder]

it lands where u place the flare right or at least in the general area

[vivid thunder]

I think the 20 minutes is the minimum raid-time before an air-drop happen

[stoic girder]

idk we'll see

[vivid thunder]

wait, the 20 minutes mentioned in the wiki is the cooldown I think

I've seen airdrops happen naturally before, unless someone I didn't see summoned them in

[drifting jolt]

general area

i thought it was an 8 minute timer, if it doesnt come in 8 minutes it's not going to

and do shoot a flare off when other airdrops are coming in

[stoic girder]

wdym?

do i need more than one flare or something?

[drifting jolt]

no no, i mean if you hear other planes coming in at that time, or you just recently heard one, wait a few minutes

[deep crane]

cant hand in gunsmith 10

[drifting jolt]

happens occasionally

restart

[deep crane]

just did

[stoic girder]

yeah the wiki says that the air space wil be congested or smth

[drifting jolt]

^

[stoic girder]

anyways, wish me luck

[drifting jolt]

godspeed!

[stoic girder]

oop

not night enough, time to wait till it becames darker

[deep crane]

i had to take apart the gun and reassemble it

great game nikita

[stoic girder]

dont tell me i need a flare gun 😭

nvm

well its done

either poggers loot, meh, or death

[vivid thunder]

I hope you brought a big bag pack

last time I looted an airdrop as a Scav, it was a med one, and I took as many injectors as I could and dashed

[drifting jolt]

with a 2x1 flare you dont need a flare gun

[stoic girder]

yeah i used it

[stoic girder]

should be enough

[analog fulcrum]

question, do you possibly regret putting dat sight on the gun :D? looks kinda like the good holos, but I hate that one xP

[molten cloud]

i help newbs dm me

[stoic girder]

pk120

[stoic girder]

nah its the best i have tbh, im using the good ammo so i should be fine

i have a 5.45 carbine but cant attach a flashlight

would use a 7.62 gun but i have a bunch of the good 5.45 ammo

is my airdrop broken or smth

been at least 5 minutes

[vivid thunder]

more than enough, I had the crappy 3x3/4 bag with me, cause I spawned in as a scav 😭

[stoic girder]

the first flare i got i just sold bc i didnt know what it did

[cedar bay]

if you never use it why hang on to it

it takes up space in your stash :>

[vivid thunder]

I sell all weapons attachements I can't use on my preferred guns

[cedar bay]

everything you dont want/need you should sell

[stoic girder]

if i shoot the flare into the ground does it not work or smth

[drifting jolt]

you shoot it into the air...

you look up a bit and shoot it...

sooo i dont think it's gonna come...

[stoic girder]

yeah a minor mistak

[drifting jolt]

lol

[stoic girder]

yeah 😭

[drifting jolt]

it happens

dont worry, they're not super super rare

youll never do that again, so no big deal

[ruby karma]

just got a lucky lab card extract. do i sell it to traders?

or is it not worth it

[stoic girder]

yeah just my first one this wipe

idk got lucky today, have to balance things out

[drifting jolt]

understandable

[cedar bay]

wdym

[drifting jolt]

i just dont play it... lolz

[unreal horizon]

use or keep for quest

[stoic girder]

sv98 and a flir scope, and killed 2 usecs on factory. ok loot but i get excited over any shit

[drifting jolt]

bout to hunt me some rogues with my scav

[stoic girder]

sadly no, still collecting food for jeager

does ammo matter for the sv 98 bt

big stew, iskra

[cedar bay]

ammo always matters

[graceful mantle]

I have a mission to get ragman to level 2 how do i do this

[stoic girder]

yeah thats why i aske

d

[cedar bay]

you need reputation and a certain level

[wicked cape]

ammo matters yes. You do also have to be careful, but not only does it does it affect pen and dmg, it also affects flight charactersistics. The sv98 rounds, anything above the base (Ithin lpz) rounds, they are meant for farther engagements and have a good bit less drop because of it, but this will throw you off at close range with it. There are a bunch of variations through all the ammo types with this kind of stuff. https://eft-ammo.com/ Is a great resource to help understand this

[quaint matrix]

For sniper kills, SVDS counts or no?

Trying to hit level 3 on sniper

[wicked cape]

It does. Pretty much any of the bolt actions will count as sniper as a general rule too

[quaint matrix]

Hm, dunno how im not level 3 yet then

Whenever i used SVDS i get like 7+ kills a raid

[stoic girder]

ehhh i have the worst ammo for it

[wicked cape]

t-46 is pretty bad, but not useless. at close range, the recoil reduction isn't bad, and it hits pretty much as hard as lps. great flesh dmg and hitting low tier armor causes a high fragmentation chance which helps as well. Just not a super ranged ammunition

and it still pens up to tier 4 armor with no trouble

[graceful mantle]

What level and what rep?

[stoic girder]

how many people run tier 5 or 6 armor atm? im not killing chads but the people who ive killled have just been running tier 4

[graceful mantle]

How do i get my rep up besides task

[stoic girder]

uhhh i think just tasks

[graceful mantle]

What rep and level do i need to be

[stoic girder]

it says

click on any trader and look at the top right

[magic lava]

Factory daytime 3-man https://discord.com/channels/521608697764380694/722945779873873971

[wicked cape]

you're probably pretty good. people are probably just transitioning to it still for the most part, so most people won't be there and it isn't terrible against tier 5 either

[stable island]

whats the best adar ammo i can get w lvl 1 traders

[stoic girder]

and knowing my aim ill probbaly just leg shot anyways

[brittle path]

what face mask coverings count for punisher 4 cause none of mine have counted

[dapper epoch]

Can you sell a key on the flea once youve used it

[cedar bay]

you can check from him, im already ragman ll2 so I cant check

I think it was lvl 17 though not sure

[drifting jolt]

no, anything you take into raid becomes NON-FIR

[dapper epoch]

What if you extract with it again

[pulsar karma]

So i got the subtask for the dehydration quest completed but died before extracting. It now just says to survive and extract from the location but does it have to be the same map?

[cedar bay]

no

[pulsar karma]

Awesome, ty

[drifting jolt]

nope

[drifting jolt]

nope

[analog fulcrum]

any with the word balaclava in the name, also need a scav vest rig

[dapper epoch]

If i wanna sell multiple of someting on flea but want the price to be per item not for all of them what do i do

[carmine oxide]

does the material change something or this craft is just dumb ?

[cedar bay]

set the price, same way you would if only 1 item

[dapper epoch]

So like this

[cedar bay]

yes

[dapper epoch]

I posted it and it sold literally instantly

All 7

Wtf

[cedar bay]

thats what happens if u sell for least price

yea, some people even "invest" by buying up sugar early wipe and stashing it away so they dont need to buy it ever again late wipe XD

[dapper epoch]

Yes

[cedar bay]

sure

[dapper epoch]

Would someone be able to take a look aty my stuff and tell me what to flea :)

[drifting jolt]

post a screenshot

that way everyone can chime in

[carmine oxide]

so ?

[cedar bay]

just send me a dm, cant talk rn xd

[drifting jolt]

sell most of those single use bandages, and splints, you can buy better meds now

if not all of them

[dapper epoch]

on flea or to therapist

[drifting jolt]

sell all but like 2 of those 2x1 white manuals, sell the xenomorph 3x1 yellow can

[drifting jolt]

therapist

you still need to level the traders

sell the other 2 things on flea

sell 1 of those 2x2 black toolsets

[dapper epoch]

I dont think money is the problem with my therapist

[drifting jolt]

dont post anything on the flea that costs less than like 10k

waste of time

[dapper epoch]

Ok

[drifting jolt]

so cheap shit just sell to whoever will but it traders wise

also, dont pay therapist at the end of PMC raids to heal, use those grizzlys if you werent already

cheaper in the long run

[dapper epoch]

Yee i do

[drifting jolt]

ok good

@dapper epoch start crafting with the med piles

specifically when you get to medstation 2

can craft ifaks all day long

[dapper epoch]

My medstation lvl 2 is upgrading rn

[drifting jolt]

good

save all low use meds

to recraft into something better

save low cheese, 1 of 3 hemostat heavy bleed thingies

cant remember their name lol

the little tan bag that stops heavy bleeds

a med pile and 1/3 turns into a fresh one

can turn low ifaks into afak on medstation 3

basically anything that has multiple uses, get it down to 1, or close to it, then craft with it

[dapper epoch]

Alright

[pallid pumice]

does anyone know where awl spawns i been trying to find it for ages and i still havent found one

[drifting jolt]

the back shelves in Goshan of Interchange

[dapper epoch]

^

Awl doesnt exist

[drifting jolt]

like in the back work hallway area

big metal shelves on either side

[pallid pumice]

interchange goddamit interchange is so cancer

like first game i died because of just campers lurking in the shadows

[drifting jolt]

my favorite map 😦

[pallid pumice]

i didnt have anything because my friend said trust me interchange is awful and uh i got DOMED

then second run absolute warfare

very iffy map for me

so far customs is my fav map woods is second because woods is nice but a lot of bush wookies

[dapper epoch]

I have a lavoratory now

Flea market is dope

[drifting jolt]

welcome to the party lol

[drifting jolt]

They've nerfed Interchange's loot the last several wipes in a row

it was the most popular map about 3 wipes ago

it was more popular than Customs

ALWAYS pvp, i miss it that way

[dapper epoch]

Bro what thats such a good craft

[cedar bay]

not really

I mean if you dont have any backpacks sure

[dapper epoch]

one 16 space backpack for 2 20 space ones

[cedar bay]

but you should have like 100 backpacks in a stack in ur hideout :D

[pallid pumice]

yep :D

i agree

[dapper epoch]

I do not

[cedar bay]

i have never bought or crafted a single backpack

[dapper epoch]

I dont disagree

I just dont have

lol

[cedar bay]

well then its not bad

[pallid pumice]

alr well time to find the stupid water stash in customs

[dapper epoch]

I feel like I just unlocked the full game

With flea market and weekly quests

[cedar bay]

thats why people rush lvl 15

[cedar bay]

aye me too

been putting it off because I didn't want to but im lvl 19 so about time XD

[drifting jolt]

it's considerably more fun now that you can run whatever you want (can afford)

and kit out guns more easily

presets are nice

[dapper epoch]

I dont feel as held back

I felt like I was scraping the bottom of the barrel before

[sick sky]

Is there a good place to find toolkits? I've done maybe 6 interchange runs and can find any on shelves or toolboxes.

[drifting jolt]

tool boxes, duffle bags, and caches

[dapper epoch]

I now have heating yay

[ebon iron]

Tips on how to survive reserve? I have a quest if a survive three times I get a pistol case but everyone there is so kitted

[cedar bay]

run through sewer manhole

[dapper epoch]

I now have heating level 2 yay

[ebon iron]

Ok thanks

[pallid pumice]

i did i found da water room

[worldly ember]

does anyone have the Health Resort west wing room 216, 306 and 308 keys and wants to help me do the lend lease part 1 quest?

[mellow flax]

Any new players need help with anything? I'm down to help with quests, loot, anything. I know Factory, Customs, Shoreline, and a little bit of everything on every other map

[pallid pumice]

@mellow flax what region are u?

[dreamy imp]

go in without a backpack and use sewer extract after 10min, its easy for the most part just hide until you can get out

[bright hawk]

what building is this? (woods)

[dapper epoch]

Is there a way to fix this stuttering in menus with the audio it's getting really tiresome

[pallid pumice]

maybe binaurial audio?

[bright hawk]

by old sawstation? @violet adder

lmao i tried to get to eastern rocks and tought by the look of the map that i was going to follow the railway lmao

i dungoofed and got mia

[vivid thunder]

F

[fringe plank]

is hollow point really as bad as my friend says it is. Claims that its useless because it does almost nothing against armor

[formal nymph]

whats best way to figure out where you are i keep getting lost?

[vivid thunder]

yeah hollow points have low pen(etration)

[bright hawk]

hp=hs or legg

[vivid thunder]

also remember the sillhoute of the mountain

don't mistake Scav mountain with the Northern Mountain, or any big rock as a mountain; or maybe that's a me problem 🤡

[dapper epoch]

Server connection lost in the middle of pvp

man

Hope they lost connection too

[opaque garnet]

i dont think i understand ammo still. Just got killed by a couple rounds of .45 fmj through thorax on tier 4 armor. the graph shows its only good for up to tier2. Shouldn't my armor hold up to it?

[drifting jolt]

it has a super low chance to pen.. so if he hit you enough it would inevitably pen

[broken bear]

la zone de réserve

[formal nymph]

Is there a place to find groups to learn game better?

[modest pagoda]

streets

[vivid thunder]

I don't know, maybe join the group in #sherpa-info ?

I prefer to learn the game solo when in-game, and just ask questions here

[potent adder]

what should i bring into my first raid

[vivid thunder]

items you don't mind losing (and also insure them)

offline training and Scav-runs on a map you're interested in learning is a good way to learn before going into your first PMC run

[potent adder]

thanks ill try it out

[vivid thunder]

there's 5 minute map-guides online you can watch

[ruby karma]

whats the best lv5 sniper ammo?

[olive oracle]

what do you guys think is the best kind of food/drink to keep in your stash

[drifting jolt]

whatever youve picke dup along the way

doesnt really matter, just dont let stupid food fill up a lot of space, like the basic 2x1 juices

[bright hawk]

where is this?

[drifting jolt]

old factory i think

far east, towards the UN roadblock

[drifting jolt]

Old Station... old station

[bright hawk]

i meant this

factory?

[drifting jolt]

youre by the shared scav/pmc extract

[bright hawk]

yeah coop factory

[drifting jolt]

bottom of the map a 1/4 of the way from the un roadblock

on the right

yeah that

[bright hawk]

i just died to a scav and pmc i believe, whatever i guess i will go some scavruns later, (trying to scav out the map to learn the ins and outs somewhat

[ruby karma]

R LPS vs R T-46M which ammo is better for mosin sniper?

[bright hawk]

i believe lps is better but im not sure just a guess

check balistics on tarkov wiki @ruby karma

[ruby karma]

umm

[fringe plank]

what is best spot to find 60 round mags for ak74-U? (for gunsmith 2)

[ruby karma]

so they are pretty much the same?

[cedar bay]

lavatory

[fringe plank]

Labs?
I don't have a the card

[vivid thunder]

I think Xanthik meant crafting them?

[unreal horizon]

craft or raiders

[dreamy imp]

woods bunkers usually is where I get mine most wipes, theres also a craft for them in the hideout( I think its a bathroom craft)

[bright hawk]

n pen yes but the penetration power is higher in lps and better accuracy but lower armor dmg (if you are going to shoot out someones armor which isnt the best option) lps has lower dmg but higher pent wich means higher chance of doing more dmg

[cedar bay]

yes

[drifting jolt]

well this is a weird one... https://streamable.com/lt5e6d

[fringe plank]

The ZB-14 one?

[dreamy imp]

cant remember the names but ya I believe thats one of them, its sometimes just easier to craft them though

[fringe plank]

Can't craft yet

And ZB-14 requires a key

[cedar bay]

is it better to hand over the secure folder 0052 to therapist or skier?

[normal shale]

I need vitality level 3, but it's been quite the slow process, how should I speed it up?

[cedar bay]

not sure but I think it levels up when you get shot, so get shot more :)

[dreamy imp]

run through barbed wire while healing, its ear rape but works... just do it over and over in a raid until your out of heals or done leveling lol

[normal shale]

Gotcha, where do you normally do this? And how fast is this process? Should I expect to have to take a couple hundered worth of heals on me and dedicate a whole raid to it? Or can I do it in passing and make reasonable progress?

[dreamy imp]

at low levels you should be able to do it fairly quick but I would bring at least a full salewa or 2 if you intend to do it in 1 raid, really you can do it in most any map but customs has alot of spots with barbed wire.... tbh im not entirely sure how much heals it would take to get to level 3 it just depends on your current progress really

[drifting jolt]

or pop a propitol and keep running in them lol

[frail latch]

do you want an injector case? then pick therapist. Otherwise expect to spend a lot of money on one if you want one later and instead want skiiers lame reward of a grenade case that you can craft yourself with lavatory

[dapper epoch]

Heres a death for you guys to laugh at

Thanks in equal part to a small road sign gate thing fucking blocking half my bullets, and me having scraps for ammo

[cedar bay]

no I have one already

But the quest rewards are FIR right? so I could sell it then

[dreamy imp]

I believe so

[fringe plank]

What type of stuff do I sell to skier

[drifting jolt]

anything he buys...

clothing, gun mods

[fringe plank]

Mechanic is the one to sell gun mods to

[dapper epoch]

How long do you get to be considered a beginner of tarkov

[dreamy imp]

what do you mean? in discord?

[cedar bay]

as long as you want, I still consider myself new at 300 hours

I know a lot by now but theres so much more to learn

[dapper epoch]

Was a semi not serious question

Just in general

[vivid thunder]

there's no clear metric for that I feel like

maybe when you reach lvl 15 in game
and have learned at least 4 maps totally (as in you don't need a map anymore to navigate it)

[dreamy imp]

Really just depends on your ability to learn things, I feel like most players would be considered new or novice players until they hit 2-300 hours

[fringe plank]

Also little gear fear and competent in gun fights

[drifting jolt]

i spent the first 150-200 hours considering myself a beginner

[dreamy imp]

Gear fear is natural in this type of game for newer players though, once you learn the maps and know how to make money that largely goes away.... Then once you learn it too well you end up just getting bored lol

[vital oasis]

who should i do for out of curiosity?

// chem 4

[drifting jolt]

therapist

[vital oasis]

why

[unique plover]

Therapist for sure. The rest are dumb rewards

Injector case is huge

[drifting jolt]

^

[vital oasis]

ohh forgot that was the reward

yeah true ty

[unique plover]

Learn how to use stims and you’ll be happy

[drifting jolt]

inj case was OP as shit when it was 4x4

[unique plover]

That was the best

[vital oasis]

ong

[unique plover]

Could run to labs with an empty one and just fill it up no problem

[spark cove]

my scav had the gingy keychain... should I sell it if I dont plan on getting kappa?

[drifting jolt]

yes

or it's a wallet too isnt it? or am i dumb?

[unique plover]

No that’s the willerz

[drifting jolt]

ahh

[unique plover]

Kappa items are an instant sell to therapist for me

Although I might as well go for kappa if I need to do all these quests for lightkeeper….

I’ve never gotten past the Tarkov Shooter where you need to level your sniper skill

[vivid thunder]

aiming for Kappa in my first wipe is a bit ambitious

I'm just aiming for level 15

and maybe get a PMC kill for once

or maybe... a decent hideout

[unique plover]

I think you can reach max traders

Just focus on questing

Kappa is probably out of the question lol

[vivid thunder]

I don't know
I'm at week 1 of my account, and still only done 2 main-tasks

[dreamy imp]

kappa isnt worth the tedious tasks imo, doing enough to get max traders is all I ever do on every wipe lol

[unique plover]

It opens a lot

[feral wolf]

who to turn in the 0052 folder ?

[unique plover]

You’ll get those few starting quests done and then you’ll have so many quests

[vivid thunder]

my options for tasks?

[unique plover]

Yeah

My quest log is huge right now

[vivid thunder]

right now I think I have 4 active tasks
1 Jaegr for the Food
1 Prapov for the Custom gold watch
1 Therapist for Salewa
1 Mechanic Gunsmith Pt.1

although I did complete 1 Peacekeeper daily last night, killing scavs

[unique plover]

Get the gold watch one done asap

And the salewas but I know that’s hard

[vivid thunder]

I only have ONE machinery key, I am too afraid to use it 😭

[unique plover]

It’s a guaranteed spawn in dorms

You gotta use it eventually lol

[vivid thunder]

is it bad if I hold off on it?

[unique plover]

Get rid of the gear fear early

Yes

[weary meteor]

The door is mostly open like 10-15min into a raid

[unique plover]

The rest of prapors quest line is locked behind it

[vivid thunder]

which dorms, in Shoreline?

wait, Shoreline is Resort; nvm

Customs has Dorms?

[weary meteor]

Customs has a dorms yes

3 story and 2 story

[vivid thunder]

hyphotethically I can just rush to the dorms on Customs to get the key, then go to the tanker asap and extract asap too?

I might do that...

[vivid thunder]

it automatically opens, or are you saying that other PMCs open them?

[weary meteor]

Other people who run this quest will most likely open it for you

[vital oasis]

what do yall run in your gamma?

[weary meteor]

Docs case/injector case/surv/allu splint and golden star

[unique plover]

Plus a stack of ammo

[vivid thunder]

I might do that, and run a night game with Gamma waaaay up so I can see

[weary meteor]

I dont know about the night game there boss, but if you feel like it then give it a shot

[dreamy imp]

surgery/cms, stack of ammo, injector case, sicc case or docs case and then any other extra heals I may want or just leave some extra spots for loot

[vital oasis]

yeah just have grizzle surgery and docs rn. whats the best way to get a sicc? never had one

[dreamy imp]

barter I believe, just started playing again after taking a couple wipes off lol

[vivid thunder]

thanks for the push to finally do it
I was planning on trying to get some PMC kills to level up before doing that quest

[hardy fox]

It’s a jäger barter

[weary meteor]

Yes sir just keep your head down and grind through, once you unlocked flea market then the fun begins

[gentle coyote]

i dont exp from doing scav runs is that normal ?

[dreamy imp]

scav levels separately from pmc, you cant lvl your pmc while playing scav but your scav does improve its stats the same way as pmc

[drifting jolt]

yes

[gentle coyote]

that explains a lot thank u

[drifting jolt]

scav is just for getting loot

free money if you survive

PMC is risking it for the biscuit

[dreamy imp]

if you get your scav rep high enough and improve your hideout you dont even need to play pmc lol.... you can get the cooldown pretty low

[gentle coyote]

yeah thats what im going for but getting pmc to do scav land extracts is pretty hard

[ruby karma]

are quests really worth doing it given that i completely do not know the maps

[gentle coyote]

considering they shoot first ask questions later

[dreamy imp]

yes as they help you level much faster than anything else and getting the trader reps up unlock a ton of new items to buy and barters, also you can google the quests and find good guides and maps to get them done

[dreamy imp]

its not very common for pmc to take that with a scav, its more risk for the pmc than its worth

[hardy fox]

Yes the quickest and easiest way to level

[unique plover]

My duo loves to trust reserve scavs

Idk why

I usually just kill them lmao

[dreamy imp]

I kill anyone im not grouped with while on pmc, its not worth risking it for randoms

[ruby karma]

is there any tips on doing quests

ones you have to go to a specific place and interact with something

[dreamy imp]

not really, it really just depends on the quest... any of the ones where you need certain items I generally get alot of on scav runs

[normal shale]

Depends on the task, if you are struggling to figure out how to do them, the tarkov wiki is an excellent resource you could use to solve most of your issues, they give detailed descriptions on each quest and item in the game. If you have a more specific example of what is troubling you someone may be able to help you in more detail.

[analog verge]

Any tips as to why i can't download it into my D drive? I've made a folder and all in my D drive but it just says the same thing about the file being wrong, and then when i try and change the route of the installation it just says i cant????

[gentle coyote]

cuz reserve scavs go there for the dead raiders bodies

or dead pmcs

[unique plover]

I like scavving reserve and I would try to extract with a PMC. I would never do that while playing as a PMC though

Greedy bastards

Reserve is usually where I go. Lots of good loot that no one checks

[gentle coyote]

also yeah reserves have really bad pmc extracts sometimes

[unique plover]

I start going to reserve as a PMC when i get my RR

[gentle coyote]

2 extracts require you to do something that will tell everyone what you're up to lol

[unique plover]

I have 2 of the marked keys there

[lavish shell]

SO just wondering are there any Sherpas on right now that can help me out?

[normal shale]

What sort of assistance do you need?

[lavish shell]

Just needing help learning the ropes last time I was on the group I was in a person accidently killed me through a door

Also died to a sniper scav because I did not know I was running out of the map and then died to mines so was a rough start still trying to learn the maps

So just looking for any help I can get

[gentle coyote]

any tips on how to finish jager first tarkov shooter quest ?

[unique plover]

Go to reserve with a mosin. Sit in the bushes by the train station

[lavish shell]

Yeah I will eventually need help finding him sorry guy completely new to Tarkov

[unique plover]

Wait for scavs, shoot scavs

I used to do it on woods but I think reserve is way better

Easier lines of sight

[lavish shell]

Anybody know how to get to Jager? If I'm correct isn't he the one you have to go to a specific spot on Woods to get

[unique plover]

It’s by the plane crash

[dreamy imp]

ya theres a tree stand you need to get a letter from near the downed plane

[lavish shell]

Ah ok thank you

[dreamy imp]

its a quest for mechanic

[lavish shell]

Anybody willing to help me out with questing? Jw

[bold kernel]

Any one to farm fence rep

[vagrant lava]

does anyone have san tape key?

[dense otter]

still need help?

[lavish shell]

Yes

Please

[dense otter]

with what

[lavish shell]

So I'm trying to learn the ropes again I have been away from Tarkov for a while

[dense otter]

wanna vc or im i typing it

[lavish shell]

We can vc

[lavish shell]

Are we going into a vc on this server or personal vc? Jw

[dense otter]

we can do server

[lavish shell]

Ok what would be the best vc

[dense otter]

in lfg beginners 13

[molten pecan]

yes 😄

[onyx bane]

So I got the skybridge key, how do I check offers that want the key for barter.

required search?

nvm apperantly it's 70k

[sleek briar]

The key spawn is very common and close to the location. You could just grab it

Maybe even on a scav run, though a lot of people have the tasks there so might not find it. If you go there late in the raid on PMC it'll probably be open

[tawdry jacinth]

any of you in here wanna help me out? ive got no idea what to do in tarkov and i try quests but die everytime i get anywhere

[tribal robin]

https://discord.com/invite/sherpahub

[still laurel]

I need pistol kills on pmc, which pistol and bullets is the best for killing players?

[weary meteor]

If you got the money to invest i would say they new revolver

If not thats fine just a PM pistol is more then enough just aim for the face

[cobalt bolt]

Eh just go Five-seven factory and you won’t die haha

[sleek briar]

Dunno it's much easier to do the task earlier in the wipe as other people are running around factory naked with pistols

Later on it's juggernaughts as far as the eye can see

Sure you can. Just saying it's easier earlier 😛

[keen raptor]

Need help on finishing the introduction task to unlock Jaeger.

[brave tinsel]

I could use some help starting the yeager quest

[still laurel]

Whats the best 366 bullets for killing scavs? eko?

[sleek briar]

Eko is fine yeah. AP-M is good if you can get it although a bit pricey

[still laurel]

Yeah im not paying 1.6k per bullet

[leaden aspen]

Does my recoil on Auto depend on ammo or rifle?

[sleek briar]

Both

[robust robin]

There are some bullets that lower recoil and some that increase it

[weary meteor]

Mostly the rifle itself but ammo can change abit

[sleek briar]

Are offline mode loot spawns same as online?

As in spawn rates

[weary meteor]

If you set your offline raid settings to “as online” then yes

[sleek briar]

There are no settings for loot spawns

[weary meteor]

I mean general

[digital crane]

i need to do the pocket watch quest. wondering if anyone want to help or do it together 😄 #521608698372816898

[sleek briar]

#pvp-lfg

[brittle canyon]

no

[sleek briar]

Oh really? Are they lower? Tried labs 5 times to confirm spawn of the transmitter thingey and it was never at any locations

[brittle canyon]

but no one really knows how it’s different or why

[sleek briar]

Right

[brittle canyon]

or whether if it’s different at all, but some loot spawns definitely don’t line up in offline

[sleek briar]

Labs is a suicide mission for me to begin with. Not being able to find the one thing isn't very encouraging 😄

[brittle canyon]

some obscure tech thing fir for quest

most of the time intel center craft

[sleek briar]

Not anymore...need a lightkeeper task to unlock it apparently

And going by the wiki; the first quest, whenever it may unlock, requires 4 of said thing to begin with 🙃

[brisk cedar]

howdy i was wondering if anyone would be willing to help me with getting the bronze pocket watch?

[gentle coyote]

Hello, I sold a key for 850k on the flee market it took like 750k fee from me is that normal ?

is selling keys even profitable ?

[sleek briar]

Key tax right now is pretty mad. That's why a lot of people just barter them for other keys

[sonic heart]

best starting weapon for lvl 1?

character

[sleek briar]

Whatever you can get your hands on 🤷‍♂️

VPOs are good from Skier

Ppsh from Prapor is pretty mental in close quarters

[flint mist]

🎶 Mosin man 🎶

[sleek briar]

No luck getting the thing I wanted but I managed to snag the funny bit you need for intel level 3. Couldn't stick it in the pouch so just ran like a man posessed for the extract 😄

[rain wing]

is there a point in keeping a golden rooster at this point in time

I'm level 12

ik it's a quest item

actually

I'm not even going to try do kappa

the collection grows

[brisk cedar]

you can just look up the price on flea n itll tell you if its worth saving or not

you can also look on wiki and itll tell you what that item is used for for quest and what level those quest are at

[hardy fox]

Well most of the purple items are a kappa thing apart bulbex

[woeful spruce]

completly fully lvl 1 that would probably be one of the prapor smgs like the ppsh or kedr but as soon as you unlock jager its gonna be the vpo 209 with eko bulets, also its easy to find 762x39 ps on scavs and in the matches and use that as much as you can its great

[sleek briar]

Scavs no longer carry PS ammo

[woeful spruce]

really? that sucks

[sleek briar]

Yep. They use HP now

[woeful spruce]

i swear ive seen some t45m on sks scavs too

[sleek briar]

It changed like 2 days ago

[weary meteor]

T45m is even worse then HP

[woeful spruce]

i wouldnt say so, t46m has 30 pen at least so it can headshot clas 3 helmets

hp has 15 pen and can do jack shit

[merry swift]

They can still have PS ammo, they just changed the default ammo for the SKS

[sleek briar]

AKM and VPO too

[weary meteor]

Well both of em are useless lets be honest

[merry swift]

VPO: yes, AKM:no

[mortal sundial]

any advice for bunker part 1 haven't really played reserve since they added the underground

[merry swift]

AKM is still PS

[weary meteor]

Easiest is to find a scav with an adar and 855 rounds and your set

[merry swift]

Rush it if you get a good spawn for it, it's the most hotly contested area in the entire map

If you spawn close, straight rush in and dip out through D2 or resurface asap

[mortal sundial]

yeah im almost level 22 putting off going to do it

[merry swift]

Alternatively you can try to fight your way in for bunker 1 (and 2) but that will take a while

I was helping somebody do it yesterday and there were 6+ PMCs down there every raid

[mortal sundial]

yeah i tired earlier and i think i died to someone sitting on a door or something

[merry swift]

Not unlikely if you get there late

Theres a bunch of spots

And then there's D2

Died to an underbarrel camper on one of our runs yesterday as we made for D2

If you really dread it

The easiest but most timeconsuming way to do it is scav cosplay

Wear a pompom or ushanka, dufflebag

Do whatever until 10 mins left

Run downstairs.

There will only be pscavs that will generally ignore you

[sleek briar]

Until you fail the F1 check

[merry swift]

People dont bother with that

[sleek briar]

Red spy is in the base!

[mortal sundial]

yeah might have to group up with some people when i try and do it

[merry swift]

Thats for fighting your way in

[sleek briar]

When you're trying to do setup and nobody's coming to dorms 😦

[mortal sundial]

also need the medical records

[sleek briar]

Easy to get, just need the keys

[sage citrus]

what is missing from gun? i want to make gunsmith part 3

[sleek briar]

https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Gunsmith_-_Part_3

[mortal sundial]

is there any other way to do gunsmith part 6 where you dont need that grip from peacekeeper lvl 4

[dreamy imp]

rear sight

[sage citrus]

@dreamy imp love you thx

[merry swift]

No

The grip is a requirement for the quest

[mortal sundial]

found a barter with the grip

[digital minnow]

hey there, im pretty overwhelmed with all the stuff I got in the EOD edition. Im thinking to just sell almost everything to have a "clean" stash and simply buy/ build what I need, what should I def keep from the EOD set?

[merry swift]

The higher tier armors, the ARs (you can sell the M4), the meds and food.

Remember anything you sell and buy back is a net loss so dont sell things you intend on using soon

I personally sell all pistols, the fabrics, hats and SMGs

[wintry fern]

wait till level 15 when the market opens and then youll make good money

[digital minnow]

I thought I cant sell them on the market?

[merry swift]

You can't

It's not found in raid

[digital minnow]

ye

is there any trader I should sell to specifically for rep or just go for the best cashout?

[merry swift]

I'd take the most cash early on for sure

[digital minnow]

thanks alot!

[merry swift]

Your first 15 levels are just poverty typically

[digital minnow]

any other good tips for me to go with? 🙂

[merry swift]

Don't miss

[digital minnow]

Getting shot hurts

Try keeping hp above 0

[dreamy imp]

really depends, I dont sell to prapor much because the money you use to insure counts for him so theres no need usually to sell much to him... same for therapist really... also most of the time its not too big a difference in how much you'll get for an item and money is easy enough to make so just sell to whoever you need rep with more

[merry swift]

Edging out some more roubles so you can grab a scav box quicker is much better than leveling skier a bit. Its also more economical to level 'hard' traders once you have flea market

So you're really only missing out on 1 level of peacekeeper between 14 and 15.

[still laurel]

I have weekly task to kill 50 scavs, where can i find a lot of scavs?

[weary meteor]

Streets

[dreamy imp]

Interchange, Reserve are usually my go to maps for them but streets is good if you can run it decent

[sleek briar]

Never see scavs on reserve 😛

Got 3 tasks to kill shit there, only ever find PMCs. Don't hear any gunshots and no dead scavs around

[merry swift]

Playerscavs also count so you can go on pscav heavy maps and snipe em from long range

Lighthouse, reserve, streets

Playerscavs dont give a fuck, they will loot a body even if its in a pile of 5

Soon to be a pile of 6.

[dreamy imp]

ya sometimes they dont seem to spawn, usually if you stay in raid a bit they will spawn a ton though

[merry swift]

Protip: go into raid tagged n cursed

Easiest way to kill scavs in barracks n stuff

[livid glacier]

How do i get lobby's with low players

[sleek briar]

And kill scavs with a hatchet? 😄

[weary meteor]

Just a pistol will do it

[sleek briar]

Pistol is a weapon though, don't you need to be completely naked for that to apply?

[weary meteor]

No rig no armour just pistol with some meds in pockets will still count yes

[woeful spruce]

tagged and cursed was specifically implemented to discourage pistol running

[dreamy imp]

night time raids is really about the only way you can MAYBE get less players but there are no guarantees

[livid glacier]

K

[sleek briar]

I go into raids without a backpack most the time. Does that mean I have tagged and cursed on me? 😛

[woeful spruce]

having a backpack or rig or a primary weapon should make you not tagged and cursed

[dreamy imp]

if you take a pistol and no armor you'll be tagged, if you take a rifle or shotgun you wont be... its dependent on your weapon and your armor or lack thereof

I myself sell every pistol I have even the ones you get at the start of wipe, pistols imo are just useless for the most part

[carmine sinew]

Switching to your pistol is always faster than reloading - Captain Price

[sleek briar]

I quite enjoy scav killing with a glock
