[spring flare]

lmao

[weary mist]

ah cool

[mint light]

i love lying in beginner chat

[spring flare]

@weary mist because bear is russian they are immune to vodka

[weary mist]

false information is fun!

[topaz sigil]

dose anyone know why my fucking pier boat extract didnt work! it was available and i was there. i bleed out and died because i was out of esmarch

[spring flare]

whats the best 5.45x39 for level 2 traders and what you can buy on flea for cheap?

[hazy veldt]

pier isn't always open

[brittle canyon]

??:??:?? means chance to be open

[quartz wren]

does tagilla kill scavs?

[brittle canyon]

yes

[topaz sigil]

than i guess im unlucky. i couldnt use the road to customs one either because some guy kepts sniping me while i was running to it

[sleek gate]

https://eft-ammo.com/

[prime sapphire]

Yeah nvm guess I was wrong. I had seen that a while back being discussed in one of the dev streams maybe they were talking about future of the game or something. Dug around and didnt see anything on it being implemented so I guess that I was jebaited. lmfao

[brittle canyon]

BT buy tushonka
1200/rnd if tushonka is 18k
870/rd if tushonka is 13k

[weary mist]

damn, its cool

[prime sapphire]

Not lying just jebaited by Nikita and BSG kinda sad now tbh

[mint light]

bro just be believing stuff

“yeah russians dont get drunk, EVER”

[prime sapphire]

When will I learn never to believe Nikita :9

3k hours and I still trust the crazy bastard

[mint light]

soon

[brittle canyon]

this is true

[upper leaf]

should i sell all my ram sticks?

[brittle canyon]

either sell when they’re 10k+

or barter for silencerco from mech 2 and sell that

[karmic cosmos]

can you gain xp in offline raids?

[weary mist]

you dont gain or lose anything

[fresh vale]

where/how to find Reshala?

[brittle canyon]

no lol

[livid verge]

should i LFG or should i launch my first as scav alone?

[brittle canyon]

new gas, dorms

10%

[brittle canyon]

never use ingame lfg

use discord ifg or whatever

[weary mist]

open the mapgenie map for the map you want to play, #pvp-lfg , and learn from there
or play solo

mapgenie.io

[drifting jolt]

i highly suggest learning most of Customs & Woods first, cause that's where the most of your starting quests will be, and join a squad later

[drifting jolt]

also Stronghold

[livid verge]

okok ill play solo as scav around there for my first round

[brittle canyon]

not anymore since goons or at least that’s what they say

[drifting jolt]

for realz? i wish they'd put these things in patch notes

[brittle canyon]

lmao

just ask for world peace that’s more realistic

[drifting jolt]

no kidding

[snow jewel]

if you have 6+ scav karma then no

[snow jewel]

if you do lfg in the game you'll be tk'd instantly

[covert venture]

i got red card on scav but im level 3

[snow jewel]

lucky bastard xd

[drifting jolt]

damn dude, that's nice

[brittle canyon]

bosses can be friendly at any rep but it’s an increasing chance until 6 at which point it’s guaranteed

[drifting jolt]

they'll be friendly for a brief time, then they decide to murder you under 6

[dire garden]

I wish I had someone who's job it could be to just watch me and tell me what I do wrong lol

Because I am not learning just dying lol

[snow jewel]

just play offline, you dont lose loot and you learn the game

[drifting jolt]

record your raids and watch them back

[brittle canyon]

if you point your gun at him he gets angry

people look at bosses and that makes em mad

need to look down and freelook

[dire garden]

offline I clap scavs and its great my problem is anyone with a toz and half a brain claps my cheeks

[snow jewel]

tbh im even scared to approach them

[brittle canyon]

you should be

fuckin coked up maniac with a hammer

who lives in factory for fun

[snow jewel]

bring good gear, insure all of it and dont be afraid to die

pretty much my mentality every raid

[drifting jolt]

you dont think he clocks out and goes home at the end of the day?

to the wife and kids?

has a beer

watches some tv

smokes a joint

[snow jewel]

i bet he sleeps on the little couch thats in the middle of factory

[dreamy portal]

Just because it shows up doesn't mean its available

[drifting jolt]

probably gets drunk and passes out in the med tent

[bold kernel]

what stuff do you sell to pk now that he is bugged to get dollars

[spring flare]

can anyone with bunkhouse key or dorm 114 key run customs with me to do my quests?

[snow jewel]

real, he probably plays cards on top of the 2 big (oil?) tank things

[young beacon]

do I get a nades case through questing?

or from repping up traders?

[snow jewel]

lavatory

[lilac grail]

there is a quest eventually that can give one if you turn it into skier

[lilac grail]

other options are injector case or one other case cant think of it rn

[quartz wren]

i just unlocked flea and i have 1.5 million are there some essential things i should buy?

[brittle canyon]

docs case or keytool

barter might be cheaper tho

[quartz wren]

i do have a standard size pouch and stash btw

[snow jewel]

how much of your hideout are you done?

i suggest just getting that completed

[drifting jolt]

nah, in the bathroom

[quartz wren]

i do have a few things like medstation shooting range and a few things that just increase my energy and such.

[young beacon]

I just had to buy my third scav case and down to 1.4 mil now ;-;

[drifting jolt]

upgrade anything you can... medstation 2+, and workbench 2+ are really useful with crafting

[snow jewel]

def complete more of your hideout, the higher level the better, lavatory lvl 2 lets you make cases

[snow jewel]

fellow hoarder xD

[drifting jolt]

hoarding is the way

[young beacon]

hoard till we die

[snow jewel]

i had at least 40 plugs at one point, why? just cus i can :)

[quartz wren]

Oh, really? yeah ill try that

[young beacon]

I just dont know what to sell, what to keep for flea, and what to keep for quests/hideout

so here I am

hoarding

[brittle canyon]

you love your plugs huh

[drifting jolt]

you can sell most of those aesas

sell the hoses too

[snow jewel]

what id do

[snow jewel]

very much so, i just kept finding them everywhere

[brittle canyon]

need 1 manuel for craft

[snow jewel]

mb keep 1 then

[brittle canyon]

also sell the diaries when they’re high on pk rn

[drifting jolt]

what would he save the aesas for? other than weapons case barters?

[snow jewel]

pretty much only weapons case, they also go for quite a lot on flea

[drifting jolt]

well if he's finding them that much, then he should def sell most of them

[snow jewel]

therapist pays 100k, @young beacon how much money do u have?

[snow jewel]

yep

[frail comet]

Do u get xp for leveling hideout

[young beacon]

1.4 but I have a bunch of kits and stuff saved rn

so not too worried for the time being

[snow jewel]

just the upgrade i think

[uneven cove]

i am so bad at this game, it's unreal. I finally finished the woods introductory quest after 14 tries but im so fucking broke and have like 30k left? what do i do to gain money?

[twilit terrace]

cache runs

[uneven cove]

what are cache runs? sorry first wipe.

[stark stone]

Loot hidden caches on maps, low risk good reward. Shoreline is a great map

[dusty hedge]

scav runs are good if you're broke. no risk

[stark stone]

You can also do streets with your scav and make good money

[uneven cove]

i've been doing successful scav factory runs that have been making me some money

[dusty hedge]

ive done 2 scav runs on streets and made 800k tonight

[stark stone]

Factory scav is worthless. Idk why everyone does it

[uneven cove]

got it, maybe thats my issue im playing the wrong map

[stark stone]

Most likely. Streets I get like 500k per scav, up to 1.5m per pmc

[uneven cove]

i just know factory finally and it feels easy to understand. idk why im so bad at understanding where i am within a map even with the map pulled up on a second monitor

thanks for the advice, i will be trying that from now on

[dusty hedge]

thats just how it is until you play each map a lot

[drifting jolt]

this is a waste of your scav

and time

[uneven cove]

got it, first 20 hours lmao ive always wanted to play this game and i said fuck it. Appreciate everyones help!

[drifting jolt]

youre going to make 4-5X+ more scaving any othe rmap over factory

on average

[spring flare]

can anyone with bunkhouse key run customs with me to do my quests?

[vale nexus]

#pvp-lfg or go directly in to customs voice channels

[bold kernel]

fr

[opaque raptor]

Where can I get an ammo box

[dire folio]

Mechanic

After gunsmith 5

[fading pumice]

I live in australia and play on the oce servers but these seem empty, should i switch to say north american servers?

[dire folio]

Yes

Im pr sure pestily plays na

[carmine oxide]

how hard is this task /10 ?

[fading pumice]

level 16 and still havent done it

3/10 if you can find scavs

[dire folio]

Pr ez

[carmine oxide]

the thing is most of my tasks are about killing scavs

well for 12k its worth doing it

i read 1230 xp first time i was like, is this a joke ?

[zinc canopy]

assuming higher is harder 3-4/10 justt i dont run bolt actions especially without scopes so it doesn't get done naturally

[dire folio]

Use a sv98 without a rear sight

(Dont)

[carmine oxide]

i'll give it a try

[dire folio]

It took me 3 mags to hit 1 shot

Its so hard

[carmine oxide]

skill issues

yeah I'll go with an sks

best bolt action for beginners

[fading pumice]

Wait, Sks counts?

[carmine oxide]

no idea

don't think so

its more of a dmr than a bolt action

nah it has to be snipers

[dire folio]

Sks is not a bolt action

[fading pumice]

Ok I thought I was being stupid.

How much difference is there between oce servers and na servers?

[mossy trellis]

guys im almost out of money, where can i make money with my scav ?

[carmine oxide]

I like shoreline

or interchange

[mossy trellis]

i only halfly know woods map im lvl 4

where should i be looitng

looting'

[deep pond]

look up a map of stash locations

try to stick to less conteseted areas if you arent confident in your PVP skills yet

woods is a venerable trove off good loot because not many people know how to run it

[mossy trellis]

what do u mean by stash ?

i am using mapgenio

which filter is that

[regal charm]

If I have good Scav Karma and haven't shot at any scavs, is there a reason one would kill me while looting a body?

[deep pond]

hidden stash locations, little barrels in the ground or thatch covered boxes that are universal spawn for items

[deep pond]

player scav probably not caring about their rep or they are just a dick

[regal charm]

No, it didn't have a player name next to the scav name. And the AI walked up to me, flipped me off with a voiceline. I ignored it to loot a body and it killed me.

[deep pond]

what map?

[regal charm]

Streets.

[deep pond]

maybe a boss scav?

i cant be sure because i havent played much streets

[regal charm]

Weird, it did the same thing to my buddy.

[bold kernel]

if you slightly damaged a scav they go agro on you

[fringe cobalt]

hi

[regal charm]

Right, I didn't damage any scav. I hadn't shot a bullet that run.

[bold kernel]

weird

[regal charm]

I think it was killing all the player scavs in Lex0s because there was a ton of bodies. I went to loot the pilgrim and it killed me. Dunno

[hazy lava]

everyone in my squad loads into the same pmc raid but we all spawn in different parts of the map

is it some kind of event?

[deep pond]

did you all queue up together and spawn at the same time?

[hazy lava]

ye

[deep pond]

strange

[hazy lava]

same raid, we can find each other

[bold kernel]

interesting

[mystic lantern]

hello, i am new can somebody help me out? 😢

[vestal oriole]

Best map for finding med supplies?

[undone flower]

Woods, Customs

[dire folio]

Try #pvp-lfg

[brittle canyon]

woods reserve

[supple canopy]

intel or moonshine for stims

[dull storm]

go to tarkovs website and claim their gift in your profile

[finite fulcrum]

Is the g36 any good ?

[bold kernel]

nope

[brittle canyon]

g36c is like

oversized smg

[bold kernel]

interesting one

[brittle canyon]

hits good close to mid range but when I tried it it didn’t really work with magnified anythings

usually scar is like the jack of all trades kinda guy but g36 has the rate of fire advantage

[bold kernel]

time to loot up on woods wish me luck boys

[spring notch]

all guns are oversized SMGs with this new recoil

[brittle canyon]

good customs gun

[finite fulcrum]

I don't usually do a lot of ranging

[brittle canyon]

or reserve gun

[finite fulcrum]

what about the scar

[brittle canyon]

scar has amazing soft stats

good with elcan

[finite fulcrum]

whats a good laser for rifles ?

like does the blue one work fine ?

[spring notch]

does it really even matter? i thought all lasers make your gun shoot like x10 more accurately without ADS

[proper forum]

Hey everyone, how contested is the reserve bunker underground "garage" thingy with the 4 keys and lots of crates? I need 10 toothpaste as weekly 🙂

[cobalt bolt]

Ummm about any

[spring notch]

Realism ™

[finite fulcrum]

I wasn't sure if there was a diff in lasers tbh

[brittle canyon]

2p from scavs

or x400

or baldr

[cobalt bolt]

To me it feels like its up to what map you play as for example some colors are hard to see at some time on some maps

[finite fulcrum]

what about scopes

is there like an arguably best scope or something ?

I usually run a holo or the axion

[cobalt bolt]

Holos or I just love vudu for more range

[finite fulcrum]

I don't see a vudu sight for this

[cobalt bolt]

What gun are you using ?

[finite fulcrum]

Oh I see its not a scope that mounts without a ring

Its a scar

[cobalt bolt]

Mk16?

[finite fulcrum]

yeah

[spring notch]

i use the walther mrs because it has by far the cleanest picture

but its red dot is kinda trash

[cobalt bolt]

Just holo is probably best then maybe try the holo with the 4x zoom I believe it is

[spring notch]

i love holo IRL but in video games its too blocky lol

[lusty crow]

why is resort W216 key sell for so much?

[cobalt bolt]

Quest and multiple ledex spawns

[lusty crow]

should i sell it? i do like money xD

[woeful spruce]

i dont think such a thing exists, lpvos like the vudu are very versitile but it takes some time to get a sight picture with them in cqb compared to holos, and you can get some of your screen to go black due to the eyebox shifting when full auto, so scope choice is primarily determined by what you want to use a particular gun for and on which map, medium to long range shots an lpvo is absolutely perfect, cqc maps and coridors i would say a holo sight is probably better

[cobalt bolt]

I mean, if you don’t run health resort and you completed the quest then sell it, but if you haven’t completed the quest hold onto it, it stays expensive for quite long in the wipe

[finite fulcrum]

I'm probably gonna be running customs since I have a gazillion quests there

what about this on the scar ?

[lusty crow]

yeah i havent done the quest yet but resort is to hot for me. i suck at pvp xD

[forest sorrel]

as a fresh meat beginner do we go into raid equipped with things? Is it easy to buy things back?

[woeful spruce]

very decent, you dont need more zoom than 4x on a scar l i think

[finite fulcrum]

its also like nearly 50 grand to get a scope

[cobalt bolt]

Just wait for lvl 25 and get the quest and sell it after

[finite fulcrum]

nearly cost as much as I paid for the gun lol

[lusty crow]

yeah thats a thing xD scopes do cost a lot

also is the MCX .300 any good?

[cobalt bolt]

Try looking for some barters if you have high enough traders

[finite fulcrum]

why does the black scope sell for more

[spring notch]

depends on what youre trying to achieve, but normally yes you want to go into a raid with a weapon, armor, helmet, backpack, vest and meds in your secured container

[lusty crow]

bc tactical black looks cool

[cobalt bolt]

Something like jaeger lvl 2 for tac-30 it’s a decent scope just for 3x kvass

[spring notch]

and you will die and you will lose gear, everyone goes through it

[brittle canyon]

black anything sells for more

tan rvg: 15k
black rvg: 35k

[forest sorrel]

thank you, does our secure container expire on death? Or is that forever?

[lusty crow]

secure container and its contents cant be looted or removed

eventually you get bigger containers also

[stable island]

where should i aim with sp8

[brittle canyon]

leg

[forest sorrel]

I see thank you

[spring notch]

whatever was inside your secured container stays there even if you die. the only way to lose it is if you take the actual container itself and put it in your backpack and then die

[lusty crow]

also your armband and melee weapon cannot be looted either

[brittle canyon]

secure can’t be removed inraid

[spring notch]

ah nice

[stable island]

do i kill scavs with leg shots too or nah

[spring notch]

you could remove it back in 2017 lol

[forest sorrel]

Oh okay, for some reason I thought it would expire on death but save whatever was in there

[brittle canyon]

head or leg

[spring notch]

used to go into a raid, drop it and a bunch of EOD loot for your non-EOD friend, then reset your account 🪗

[stable island]

how does leg meta work do i just aim at legs and sprayt

will they just eventually die

[brittle canyon]

yes

[spring notch]

theres no armor for legs, so if enemies has high tier armor or helmet, your highest DPS will be against legs

[brittle canyon]

sp8 kills in 8 shots to the same leg

[finite fulcrum]

gun

[brittle canyon]

use rvg grip

and f1 is 20k on a good day

get the rail extension from skier 2

is that the standard scar or long scar??

[finite fulcrum]

couldn't tell you honestly

what is the rail extension good for ?

[brittle canyon]

29 ergo is just wrong

[brittle canyon]

+5

[finite fulcrum]

does that matter enough to warrent it ?

[brittle canyon]

shit’s at 42 erg

[brittle canyon]

kinda important on anything running magnified scopes

use this if it’s cheap on flea

[finite fulcrum]

only 9 k for that

[vestal oriole]

Just met a scav on customs no voice chat but helped me out.
Thank you who ever you are 👍🏻

[elfin elm]

personal fav sights and why:
close range:
kobra red dot or pretty much any eotech;
the kobra hits a really good price point for a very decent sight that is either ergo neutral or ergo positive actually, where as the eotechs (not the 556 or the megnifier ones) provide the largest sight picture of just about any close range sight at a still very decent price and ergo

Medium range:
Monstrum Tactical Compact Prism 2x or swampfox trihawk prism 3x;
they both provide pretty darn clean sight pictures at a decent enough zoom to give an edge at distance, but not hurt you too much at close range with the added bonus of both being pretty cheap

Long range/versatile:
elcan 1-4x, valday 1-6x, tac30 1-4x, vudu 1-6x, and razor 1-6x;
the elcan and valday provide decent sight pictures while offering both a close range option for cqc and added zoom for sniping, the tac30, vudu, and razor provide an even greater sight picture with more or less unparalleled performance, the downside being that they're both more expensive and harder to obtain. as far as 1-4 vs 1-6 goes 6 times is basically the perfect zoom for long distance shot but the 1-4 scopes are cheaper

honorable mention to the acog 4x for being very cheap with a good sight picture, it's just not very versatile and is often too much zoom if you get rushed

sorry if that's a big blurb or if nobody cares

just my two cents

[brittle canyon]

vudu and razor is 90k now

[elfin elm]

still great sights though, just turning into un-obtainium

[obsidian sphinx]

big ergo, probably meta + bunch of tacticals

[bold kernel]

some can help me out whit my inv idk what i shut keep hope some1 down to go in a vc

[brittle canyon]

lmao 12 hours necro
also it’s a gunsmith part

[elfin elm]

https://tarkov-market.com or https://tarkov.dev are both useful

[brittle canyon]

use tarkov-tracker

sell the rest

[bold kernel]

is it a website?

[elfin elm]

https://tarkovtracker.io

[brittle canyon]

it’s an instrument

[elfin elm]

a tool, if you will

[finite fulcrum]

Curious whats everyones chosen unit ?

Bear gang or Usec gang ?

[elfin elm]

usec gang pretty much every wipe

[finite fulcrum]

Is there any reason why ?

[elfin elm]

kind for no particular reason other than I just always have 🤷‍♂️

[brittle canyon]

bear flannel

[elfin elm]

bears do have good drip

[finite fulcrum]

Does usec not have a flannel ?

[brittle canyon]

flannel gives +9 ergo

[finite fulcrum]

i believe it

[mossy trellis]

LF a duo to teach me money runs woods or shoreline, im lvl 4 out of money 🙂

[finite fulcrum]

I like the BEAR G99 outfit

[dreamy imp]

run scavs on woods or interchange, shorline could be ok too I suppose but I think not quite as good on average

[finite fulcrum]

I've always had trouble on shoreline

I feel I get shot to often from people I never see

Compared to other maps

[mossy trellis]

@dreamy imp yep im doing woods but usually dont get worth loot, ppl saying they can get 300-500k, i need to learn the places

[elfin elm]

woods is great loot if you know where to scrounge for it and can survive

but it takes a lot more learning than other maps for loot runs

[dreamy imp]

It depends on luck and whether you have flea or not, without flea market your not going to make quite as much as people with flea though.... without flea I can reliably make at least 200k-300k on interchange, with flea your looking at a possible increase on average of 100k+ as some items sell for a fair bit more on flea than they do to vendors

[mossy trellis]

i see, ill try interchange too

[slow crag]

How

[elfin elm]

also a big square with 2 easy extratcs

so that's nice

[slow crag]

How are you out of money at lvl 4

[dreamy imp]

look up the hidden stash maps, theres like 15? or something on interchange and you can hit them all in about 10min maybe less when you know the locations and depending on spawn

[elfin elm]

friend managed to lose 300k in less than 2 hours, trust me it's possible

he started playing tonight

[slow crag]

Bro 💀

[mossy trellis]

haha, died on most raids lose all loot

every death cost like 60-70k if you are buying from the traders

25-30k gun and armor backback etc

500k basically like 7 death

[slow crag]

Do you kill people?

[mossy trellis]

sometimes but rarely

[slow crag]

Pmcs

[elfin elm]

I sacrificed a FIR gas analyzer so he could safely extract with jaegers letter

[slow crag]

So why bring an expensive ass fun lol

[elfin elm]

he hobbled out with a broken leg, two blacked limbs, and no healing or painkillers

[slow crag]

Gun*

[mossy trellis]

wdym i buy the cheapest sks or mosin starts at 25-30k

[slow crag]

Bro

Buy a makarov

[pure shell]

easiest map for beginners with good loot?
that i dont need to study for hours

[slow crag]

Customs

[brittle canyon]

all map has good loot but you gotta survive

[slow crag]

Also studying the map for hours is normal

[elfin elm]

interchange

[dreamy imp]

ehhh I would stay away from bolt actions if you dont need to run them for tasks.... sure they are fairly cheap but they put you at a disadvantage in most situations... a shotgun costs about the same and is more useful... the op sks is good if you can put at least a sight on it

[elfin elm]

is square

[brittle canyon]

do customs quests

[pure shell]

is that really easy

[mossy trellis]

im doing shotgun factory runs now its fun

[fading pumice]

they can be extremally fun though

[mossy trellis]

my pc stutter like crazy on custom cant play it

i bought the game yesterday guys xd

[brittle canyon]

lol customs is a small map

[elfin elm]

you basically toss a coin between 1 of 2 extracts that you'll ALWAYS have 1 of and you spawn on the opposite side of the map of your extract

[fading pumice]

turn off binaural audio

[brittle canyon]

inter is like 2x bigger

[dreamy imp]

they "can" be but im just saying, for a new player your already at somewhat of a disadvantage just being new with lack of game knowledge. No point increasing that disadvantage

[fading pumice]

yeah, agreed

[pure shell]

but a lot of players go to those extracts so its not really safe is it

[fading pumice]

although the 215 can be really useful on woods and it's cheap even when supressed

[slow crag]

Bro

I never run into anyone else at extract

Literally not once lol

I’m level 10 now

Not saying it’s not possible

But unlikely based on what I’ve seen

[fading pumice]

i disagree

[slow crag]

I’m sure you’re more experienced I’m just sharing my experience

[elfin elm]

not usually an issue for me, they're hard to extract camp these days and the pacing of a loot run is different than how fast other players will be doing

so you usually get there at different times anyways

[severe bridge]

does this mean i NEED to find the thing in raid or can i craft it?

[elfin elm]

need FIR status

which can be either/or

[brittle canyon]

craft=fir

[dreamy imp]

pretty sure all items are marked fir if you craft them so you can do it either way

[bright rune]

got an ak74m but trader lv 1. Do i have good options for sights?

[severe bridge]

Alright thanks

[dreamy imp]

power cords are pretty easy to find though so up to you

[elfin elm]

got camped today on woods while helping him with his jaeger task

[brittle canyon]

kobra

[elfin elm]

his first wipe, first pmc run

he forgot healing

I distracted them and he got out

[bright rune]

@brittle canyon How can i put it on? Do i need smt else?

[elfin elm]

I lost a FIR gas an for it though

;-;

he hobbled out with a broken leg, two blacked limbs, 0 hydration and no healing

while sneaking between two campers on a team

tbh his first ever raid was a scav run

which he survived cus he spawned 30 meters from emercom

but yep, know what else

he went "that toz thing looks funny. I'mma run it"

[brittle canyon]

bastion

[bleak jacinth]

Question: Will I get a message from Prapor if my insured items were taken out of raid?

[elfin elm]

no

you have to basically wait the full 36 hours and then go "welp, guess I don't get it back"

[bleak jacinth]

gotcha

[elfin elm]

at least I'm pretty sure

I think occasionally you do get a message saying sorry, couldn't find anything

[indigo kayak]

for gunsmith part 6 is there any alternatives to the foregrip?

[brittle canyon]

this is when none of the insurance from that raid worked

[brittle canyon]

check what mechanic says

he says shift

[elfin elm]

so they literally take every single scrap

[elfin elm]

it's specifically mentioned by name, so go camp the barter on mechanic

[brittle canyon]

or the pscavs got to you

[indigo kayak]

what lvl is it

[elfin elm]

true, but regardless of who did it you would have to be picked clean

[brittle canyon]

mpx barter on mech

[elfin elm]

1, it's on a gun barter

[edgy sentinel]

hi wanted to ask when doing alt t to check ammo i dont see the text on the bottom right indicating amount of ammo is there a setting to change that?

[proper forum]

Gotta say Reserve "Bunder Underground" with the 4 keys is damm contestet. 😦

all I want is 8x special ortodontox toothpaste lol

[elfin elm]

are you checking mag or chamber?

[edgy sentinel]

im new idk the difference its just when im holding weapon in my hand in game do alt t and i dont see text saying like full or less than half

like that

(from a video)

[elfin elm]

what gun are you checking?

[edgy sentinel]

in my game it was an m4a1

i think it was chamber check looking back

is there different bind for each?

[elfin elm]

did the character take out the mag, or look in the side of the gun?

[edgy sentinel]

side of the gun

[elfin elm]

then you checked chamber

different key bindings

[edgy sentinel]

ah i see

[elfin elm]

both useful though, you have to use check chamber on single-shot guns

like the break action rifle or double barrel shotgun

[indigo kayak]

whats the easierst way to spend money on skier cos i need to spend like 500k on em

[edgy sentinel]

apreciate it all ty

[elfin elm]

for like the next day or two sell anything you can to him instead of to other traders

it's about a 10% earnings loss, but he'll buy a lot of different things

besides that you can buy suppressors for almost any ak and he'll buy them

but buying a suppressor from flea and then trading it to skier is always a money loss

[spring notch]

buying from skier and selling to skier would be more efficient, because buying counts for the progression same as selling lol

never had this problem because i sell to all traders, making sure to keep the money spent around equal

[elfin elm]

true, but at a bigger wallet deficit

[formal aspen]

i just ttied to enter a raid and got connection lost everytime i try join

what do i do

[elfin elm]

#community-support

[formal aspen]

do i just lose all my stuff

[grim heath]

MDR is good?

[primal yacht]

I got the Abondoned factory key is it any good

[elfin elm]

yes

low mod cost and upfront cost for very good performance

[grim heath]

what ammo should i run

[elfin elm]

is it the 5.56 one or the other one

tan, or black?

[grim heath]

oh theres multiple?

[primal yacht]

So sell to therapist

[grim heath]

5.56

whats the other one

[elfin elm]

7.62 nato

[primal yacht]

I will sell it then so i can get a scav box

[grim heath]

ah man i wish it was that

[elfin elm]

M855<m856a1<m855a1

Use the best you can find really

[grim heath]

i have a stack of m855a1 but i should probably use that wisely on an adar or something

[slow crag]

Bruh

Mdr is better than Adar right?

[elfin elm]

Top load 5 or 10 rounds in your mdr mags

[slow crag]

Unless you hella mod it

[elfin elm]

Adar is tap fire only so is more ammo efficient

[fading pumice]

You can turn an Adar into a m4

[slow crag]

I know, but it costs half your organs right

[elfin elm]

Mdr is more worth than m4 early though

[elfin elm]

High cost and lower performance floor, but also a higher performance ceiling

[grim heath]

makes sense

[elfin elm]

You're only trying to pen armor with the forst 1/3 of a mag dump

After that you're just trying to load on more damage

[grim heath]

assuming i hit those first shots lol

[elfin elm]

True, but if you miss those first few you want to get as much damage on target as you can anways

Less pen 5.56 rounds have better damage

[elfin elm]

Also you can craft m856a1 at workbench 2

[grim heath]

Ah good to know, i should gun for that then

[spare violet]

is there a diffirence in what arm you fracture? like does the right arm for example have more impact on your aim then the left?

[whole thistle]

every gun does

[whole thistle]

i dont think so

[copper talon]

Yo i've done ragman's big sale and none of the future quest unlocked... anyone know whats going on? It's been almost 24 hours and no database 1.

[whole thistle]

still m4 has the most recoil besides like 416

[spare violet]

this is what the wiki says

[whole thistle]

oh thats cool

[spare violet]

I am trying to do the wounded beast quest for jeager and a fracture is the easiest way to get the pain effect

[manic river]

guys what post fx settings are the best for visibility my pmc apears to be fucking blind

[torpid rain]

Lighthouse Broadcast part 1 need help I have no key (Operating room) Dm if you can help :))))

[raw remnant]

getting shot in any way also inflicts pain for a very short amount of time, so trading gunfire is much easier

at least that's my experience with that quest, all kills I got to count for it were for trading gunfire

killed immediately after getting shot

[pastel spear]

how do you lay down on your side while prone?

ah thx

[primal yacht]

Nice scav run

[brisk drift]

eu, lf a duo to help me earn some money woods, interchange

[primal yacht]

Reserve

Ty

[indigo kayak]

what gun is better to use, AUG or M4A1

[primal yacht]

Aug is better stock or with little upgrades but m4a1 is better if u can mod it nice

[orchid lagoon]

is there anyone who could help me see if my internet is good enough to play with others as a group?

thank you

[pastel ocean]

is it worth trading a graphics card for the key with blue tape

[tacit star]

Can anyone with the Tarcone Directors Office Key help me out on Customs? Need to do Delivery From The Past, but can't find this key anywhere

I'm only level 1 with therapist

and the lvl 1 barter stuff is also difficult to find!

[rotund lagoon]

why no power in the bunker i turned the power on no lights cant see shit

[tacit star]

i have no idea what you just said but i will ask google, thanks

[minor laurel]

how often are there EOD discounts?

[whole thistle]

??sales

[red current]

You can find a list of previous sale dates, durations, and price reduction percentages here. This can give you a good idea of an upcoming sale. #general-chat message

[sudden swift]

Does a run through counts?

[brittle canyon]

no

[sudden swift]

:/

[tacit star]

Any Sherpa or Chad available to show me where to find Tarcone Directors Office Key on Interchange?

[bold kernel]

just do a normal factory run

[bold kernel]

just find it in jackets or do the barter

[north crown]

any1 know a fix for "server connection lost" not had this in a while

[twin cairn]

hey can anyone give me the ferfrans blast mitigation device

?

[sage citrus]

delete the game

[tacit star]

If I upgrade to Prepare for Escape Edition of the game, will my rep with the traders change?

currently have the basic version

[whole thistle]

yeah

it did for me when i upgraded to eod

[tacit star]

ok ty

i cant stand this stash size anymore, and i nuked my fence rep by accident

[supple panther]

most profitable scav case option?

[twin cairn]

hey can anyone give me the ferfrans blast mitigation device
?

[bold kernel]

scav run good

[brisk drift]

nice

[primal yacht]

Good scav run

[primal yacht]

Nice man

[prime comet]

Print screen is a useful key on your keyboard for future reference

[primal yacht]

Ooh ty Im new to pc

[digital sable]

Snip & Sketch gang ✊

[daring cave]

😆

[raw remnant]

I have 2 toz and 1 shotgun, do you think it's possible to actually complete this at all?

[brittle canyon]

lmao

either spend half a day in factory or just let it go

[arctic grail]

I shot someone in the face with an mp5 . No face mask and three bullets to the nose. Not dead. Whaaaaaat?

[formal aspen]

anyone know how to attach a scope to a mosin from prapor?

[raw remnant]

do you have a scope that you want specifically or do you just want a functioning scope?

usually you'll need a dovetail mount for the mosin, and only for the sniper variant

[formal aspen]

just any old one for the jaeger quests

can i not put it on the infantry ones

should i use a vpo instead

im on Tarkov Shooter 2

[raw remnant]

a gornostay is probably better due to the magazine action, but the ammo sucks

I'm not sure if you can just swap out the infantry stock for a sniper one to be able to attach a scope to it

[formal aspen]

I just tied that and still wont let me put the Kochetov mount on it

ill use the gornostay i guess

😅

hmm apparentyly not a good idea since the ammo like u said

[whole thistle]

you need a sniper mosin

like the base piece

[tepid mulch]

how do you have more than 2 items on sale on the flea market? and what does trading rating do?

[minor laurel]

I've got 0 space in my stash, what should I sell from here (i've got flea)

[karmic cosmos]

what the best way the level up without questing

[edgy plover]

For these, because nobody but you knows where you're at in terms of quests or hideout, or what barters/crafts you're trying to save for, you have 2 options. It's otherwise impossible to know, without significant experience or asking other people every time, what you'll need anytime soon, or what sells for substantial money to other players.

Option 1) Set a particular goal - maybe two or three hideout upgrades you want and get your list of like 5-10 items together. Sell everything else. This is the most "to hell with inventory management" approach, and you'll certainly sell things that you'll need again or could have sold for more, but you'll spend much more of your time in-raid.

Option 2) Check everything using https://tarkov-market.com/ and the info it provides for quest/hideout/barter/crafting requirements and for flea prices. Then you can decide what things you'll need soon enough, and which items sell for enough, to hold onto. This is quicker in the long run and more profitable, but is tedious.

[edgy plover]

Killing and surviving

[ruby karma]

whats the most profitable map right now for scav runs?

[bold kernel]

lighthouse

[edgy plover]

LH, Streets, Reserve, Woods

[ruby karma]

same route as pmc runs?

or is scav run routes different

[bold kernel]

probably not

[ruby karma]

alr

[edgy plover]

Factory, arguably, because it's super fast and you can get in and out in seconds, so you never die and just farm scav kits and karma

[ruby karma]

tyty

[ruby karma]

afaik, once i hit karma 6.0 i make tons of money right

[edgy plover]

Not much of a difference between 5-6 in my experience, but yes, if you get high scav karma most scavs you run will spawn with quality loot on them

So if you're just grinding Karma for that, factory is my preference too

[ruby karma]

is there a limit?

[edgy plover]

No improvement past 6

but you can go past it, however, if you lose scav karma over 6 rep, no matter how much over you are, it will take you down below 6

[ruby karma]

ohh shit

thats to prevent players from killing other scavs

[whole thistle]

scav case goes down more i think

[ruby karma]

when they are up and above 6 right

[edgy plover]

Exactly

[edgy plover]

Does it? That's good to know

[ruby karma]

hmm +0.01 per scav run

[tacit star]

still no luck finding Tarcone Director's office key - can anyone help me with the Delivery From The Past quest?

[ruby karma]

i need atleast 500+ runs

oof

[edgy plover]

Combine that with occasionally killing a PMC, and all the karma you get from car and coop extracts, and it's a lot less

[fervent cliff]

what happens to armour or guns if they are 'enhanced' with the repair kit?

[cobalt bolt]

How much karma do you get from co-op extracts ? Didn’t know that that’s a way.

[ruby karma]

i can't distinguish a pmc from a scav sadly

also the co-op seems scary

[whole thistle]

@cobalt bolt

[whole thistle]

not like you have anything to lose

doesnt cost anything to go scav

[cobalt bolt]

Look at his clothing and gear, scavs have worse gear a civil clothes, pmcs have army clothing.

[ruby karma]

wait, so i can do the coop extraction as scavs too?

thats sick

[whole thistle]

yeah ofc

[cobalt bolt]

You need to 😄

[whole thistle]

cant do it without a scav

[whole thistle]

it still gives karma as a pmc

[cobalt bolt]

Well yeah but you can’t do it without scav/pmc

Meaning you have to be able to do it as scav

[whole thistle]

yeah

i thought you meant you have to be a scav to get karma or smth

[cobalt bolt]

What 5.56x45 and 7.62x54 ammo is worth unloading from mags and actually taking ? I know that bt but for the 5.56 I really don’t know 😄

[south badger]

best early ammo for 5,45 x 39mm

[bold kernel]

PS i think is the only one decent honestly just use something else

[edgy plover]

As a rule of thumb, the highest penetration ammo is what you want

[bold kernel]

5.45 early is trash

[edgy plover]

PP is good, and any 5.45 ammo that starts with B is also good

BT, BS, BP, etc

[cobalt bolt]

Why would it be trash?

[finite fulcrum]

It's a barter trade from Therapist ll1

[bold kernel]

weak ammo early on not good pen or dmg

[edgy plover]

Many people hate the low damage, which is fair. I think the primary benefit of it is the low recoil, and higher damage and pen than SMG's - so it's sort of a middle-ground

[bold kernel]

i love AKs but i hate 5.45 am using AK 101 when am not broke

[cobalt bolt]

I mean, if you wsnt to use m4/scar you kinda have to use ammo for it don’t you 😅

[bold kernel]

M856 all the way

[edgy plover]

He's talking 545, not 556

[cobalt bolt]

Ahh oki

[pure moon]

hey how do i lfg as a beginner

[ruby karma]

i heard lighthouse was super laggy last wipe

has it been optimized yet

or no

[cobalt bolt]

I run lighthouse at stable 144fps 😅 but it all comes down to your computer mainly, there are some stutters but it’s not laggy too much.

[twin cairn]

hey guys why dont i have database pt 1?

[edgy plover]

Join any beginner chat, or post in #pvp-lfg

[twin cairn]

i did big sale

[edgy plover]

You need to complete Make Ultra great again too

[twin cairn]

ok

[pure moon]

k thanks

[ruby karma]

whats the definition of standing "too close"?

like up in their face?

aight

man lighthouse runs seem pretty hardcore even as a scav

doesn't look like you can no-brain it

[minor laurel]

I know that someone has already responded to that question but what is the best map for getting rubles not scav reputation?

[whole thistle]

nah

[astral barn]

yo im having trouble

spawn killed as pmc 3 times

what do i do

[whole thistle]

rogues are hidden away in the corner of the map you can avoid them very easily

[whole thistle]

are you playing factory

[astral barn]

nah

[ruby karma]

im watching a guide from a youtube channel lone raiders

and it seems like he has to fight them everytime no?

[whole thistle]

just try to play very cautious and look towards other spawns if you can remember them

[astral barn]

;-;

[whole thistle]

a lot of the loot is over here

[ruby karma]

oh

[astral barn]

i just wanna die tbh

no wait i have died

6 times

[ruby karma]

this guy is perhaps going for the left side?

i dunno the maps all that well sorry xd

[modest prawn]

does anyone know if it counts when you do a scav run and find iskra packs for the quest? it has the yellow task mark on it tho but can't turn them in

[whole thistle]

the rogues are all on the left peninsula with the water plant

[ruby karma]

there is a difference between "finding" them in raids, and turning in "found in" raids items

if your quest asks you to turn in found in raids items, you just turn in that same item with the checkmark on it, which you can get it from scav/pmc runs

or even from quest rewards

[cobalt copper]

or crafted

[ruby karma]

gotcha

[thick jay]

best pistol to run for stirrup?

[austere hound]

Rsh on factory

[thick jay]

is that the revolver that takes ash 12 rounds?

yeah nah that's too expensive

[austere hound]

Yep. Absolutely melts if you hit flesh. Great for 1 tapping nakeds

[thick jay]

is the .357 any good?

[austere hound]

Can't remember tbh I'll check

[inner juniper]

yo. im new to tarkov looking for someone to help me with it. i have like 30 hrs and have just been running factory. anyone down to play? im english playing on eu servs

[austere hound]

Good for flesh. Nice recoil reduction if you run the soft point ammo. Even with the other ammos you're not penning past lvl 2 armor lol

[thick jay]

damn that sucks

[astral barn]

btw whats wrong with factory

[austere hound]

Yeee. Honestly your best bet is to just naked spam with any pistol you can. The rsh let me finish it in 1 raid lol.

[inner juniper]

fax

[whole thistle]

its just a pvp arena

barely any loot

[astral barn]

ah

[thick jay]

just gonna run the softpoint ammo and hope for the best

[whole thistle]

oh god leg meta revolver lol

[hidden tendon]

Any advice for the stirrup quest? Like can I queue in with my friend and then convince him to let me dome him

[whole thistle]

teammates dont count for any kill quests

[thick jay]

I heard it's like a 2 shot if you can hit their legs

[hidden tendon]

That makes sense I was being hopeful

[whole thistle]

its 5

[thick jay]

nvm im just gonna go for the face then lol

[astral barn]

anyone got advice starting out

im just dying over and over

losing all my starting gear and stuff

[thick jay]

learn the spawns

[whole thistle]

its 2 damage off of being a 4 shot

[thick jay]

and pick 1 map to learn at a time

[cobalt copper]

What map are you starting to learn first ?

[astral barn]

im not sure tbh

maybe lighthouse?

[cobalt copper]

I recommend woods or customs.. Pick one and play offline until you can quickly identify where you are and how to get the extract

[astral barn]

ah ok

[cobalt copper]

dont play online until you can do this

'pay attention to scav spawns (put ai diff on low)

[ruby karma]

aight headfirst lighthouse runs here i come

[cobalt copper]

and learn sniper scav locations

thats a good start man

[thick jay]

@austere hound dad, I did it

[austere hound]

With the 357?!

[shrewd fossil]

Yeah I just started playing as well. But have been running customs. I found a map online that gives me everything like extracts hidden stashes so on and so forth. Allows me to find where I am and learn.

[thick jay]

yeah I swung a corner and one tapped a dude to the face

[austere hound]

Ayo. Revolver sights op. Looks like you earned yourself a free trip back, but this time you need a cowboy hat, mustache, and aviators

[astral barn]

could you send me that link

[lavish kindle]

how is anyone expected to survive in customs?? I killed 2 scavs.. Extracs on entire oppossite side of map?? Get hunted by PMC - I shot his at least 2x with 366 and i die!

[cobalt copper]

The key to surviving customs is avoiding hot spots

A key *

[lavish kindle]

I am loosing all my best gear, and still can't survive

[thick jay]

be patient, all it takes it is one good raid to turn your luck around

[lavish kindle]

and I am sick to death of not getting points for ops.

you should get points no matter what!!

If you survive 15 minutes u should get something..

[dreamy flame]

@astral barn https://mapgenie.io/tarkov

[lavish kindle]

I will be at a level 7 until i get sooo pissed I delete the game

[astral barn]

how do i know where on the map i spawned

[thick jay]

you get xp depending on how many kills you got and how many things you searched

[dreamy flame]

@astral barn observation

basically you have to learn the map

[cobalt copper]

I like this map

[astral barn]

OOOH

GIMME THAT

[cobalt copper]

oh thats my lazily edited one, go on the wieki

for more

[astral barn]

ok

[lavish kindle]

I pretty much know where the extarcts are.. just do not know good routs to avoid contact..

[raw remnant]

[Chorus] I hate lighthouse x32

[cobalt copper]

On customs, that forest area is your friend man

[tulip vale]

I need help with Corporate secrets.. i am getting 25 frames with mid settings on Lighthouse and cant complete a night or a day raid.... lvl 21 second wipe.... no mic, na server

[astral barn]

i think ill hate woods because all the trees and stuff

ill probably do customs then

[bold kernel]

Which is better? shrap 10 or shrap 25

[dreamy flame]

i found woods to be very easy to learn

[astral barn]

oh

[dreamy flame]

customs is a busy map

[frail comet]

it's easy to learn just a rat map

[astral barn]

rat map such as

[lavish kindle]

I just want to survive 1 raid... I used to be able to survive 30% on shoreline... now I die everywhere

[frail comet]

mfs sniping on every rock

[astral barn]

yeah im good with that

[dreamy flame]

@frail comet not that I could see

avoid sniper rock

others were of most of the time

[frail comet]

can't u not get on sniper rock anymore

cuz landmines or sum

[dreamy flame]

nope

[frail comet]

nope u can or nope u cant

[dreamy flame]

usec camp only on one side of the hill

mines

u can get everyvhere

[frail comet]

I mean Claymores not mines

I thought in this patch they put Claymores up there

[dreamy flame]

they put mines on one side of usec camp

[frail comet]

Just like on lighthouse bridge

[dreamy flame]

not that I recall although I hardly ever go up there

[whole thistle]

the wiki has maps like that for every location

[dreamy flame]

i just want to do my woods missions to be fair but since i have to do it without armour i get killed by pmc's slightest tap

annoying

[whole thistle]

you can wear armor in case you find pmcs then just take it off when you see a scav

[dreamy flame]

yeah i foind it a hassle

[lavish kindle]

Ya I cant finish any mission... Still need to do Jaegars

[stoic berry]

hey, is customs the easiest map and the most efficient map for begginers?

[dreamy flame]

i wouldn't say that

[whole thistle]

it is the beginner map

[supple panther]

yes

lots of scavs so you can learn how to fight them

[cobalt copper]

Its usually recommended to start on because you have a few early quests there

[supple panther]

great flow of PVP

very good loot too

[whole thistle]

i love stupid fucking armor quest

[swift yoke]

can someone do a money run with me, really broke

[wicked jetty]

whats the difference between scav case moonshine and intel

[trim karma]

im really new to the game ive done three raids this wipe can someone help me through the first few quests

[brittle canyon]

moonshine valuables and kappa items and shit
intel keys and info items and guns

[wintry estuary]

is there any good, full auto supressed build under 100k?

[brittle canyon]

caliber?

[wicked jetty]

so if im looking for labs cards do intel?

[brittle canyon]

yea

[wintry estuary]

i usually play 7.62 but i wouldnt mind .45 or something similar size

its hard for me to control recoil as new player so yeah, small caliber also good

im trying to build UMP but it gets expensive with silencer

[brittle canyon]

ump with bnt oem and grip is more or less 100k on the dot

you can also use omega 45 with threaded barrel but that’s also 40k

[wintry estuary]

what can i change to make it cheaper?

[brittle canyon]

dont use 2x

use 15k rvg grip

[wicked jetty]

cobra with dust cover is really cheap and adds erg

[wintry estuary]

cobra is 30k

[brittle canyon]

14k

kobra sight

[minor laurel]

i've already bought the optic and which muzzle break or suppresor under lets say 20k should I buy?

and should I change anything else than adding the muzzle break?

[brittle canyon]

under 20 you gotta be loud

which is bad for snipers imo

[minor laurel]

so how much should I spend?

[brittle canyon]

what’s the gun for

[rocky ocean]

did they remove sanitars tape key from fleamarket?

[brittle canyon]

no

[minor laurel]

Sniping ofc, and If you are talking about the map then its woods probably

[brittle canyon]

yea like is it for sbih or

[tacit star]

Any Sherpa able to help 3 guys open the door for Delivery From The Past on Customs?

[minor laurel]

sbih?

[brittle canyon]

thera sells tarcone

[brittle canyon]

shooter born

[tacit star]

none of us have the items for the key trade

[minor laurel]

ah nah I just did it for fun

[brittle canyon]

it’s like 2 interchange raids

[brittle canyon]

then you’re free to spend however you like

[minor laurel]

yeah but still I don't know which muzzle break should I buy

i wasn't asking how much should I spend

[warm junco]

How does one survive woods without being one shot by a bush sniper? I've probably done 3 or 4 raids trying to JUST grab jaegers message for Introduction and get out, but usually only made it a couple minutes before getting clapped.

[feral bramble]

Yeah I just did this yesterday, just do scav runs into goshan.. loot the green tea and squash, buy crackers from therapist

[wicked jetty]

night time

[feral bramble]

Just unlucky I think.. half my woods raids I never run into another PMC

[warm junco]

So should I buy some sort of night vision and try my luck?
Everytime I've spawned I hear close gunshots really quickly. Can't seem to catch a break XD

[subtle phoenix]

How much money should I wait to have until I buy the scav junkbox thingy

[wicked jetty]

evoid the middle area like the plague and you should be fine

[feral bramble]

I bought it almost as soon as I had the roubles for it tbh

[subtle phoenix]

Oh really

[feral bramble]

He needs jaegers note lol

[subtle phoenix]

I just didnt know if i should have some backup cash

[wicked jetty]

you can go around it

[subtle phoenix]

is it rlly useful? Im not rlly sure what its used for

[feral bramble]

It’s used for junk items and random items that are needed for quests or hideout upgrades

[subtle phoenix]

Oh cool

[cobalt copper]

Its a huge space saver. Consider your rubles, how consistently they are going up,

have enough for a few kits

if you dont need the spave wait.

[feral bramble]

Yeah I bought it asap because I’m a standard edition scrub and my stash is so tiny 😦

[silent pasture]

Whats the best map to play for beginners. Im new and tried playing shoreline and woods but just wanna know which map is best for starting off

[subtle phoenix]

Yeah I have standard too

[feral bramble]

I would recommend woods and customs

[subtle phoenix]

Im a beginner and I've been playing a lot of factory to force myself into pvp and stop gear fear

[silent pasture]

Alr thx

[feral bramble]

Good option as well

[turbid hearth]

i have no gear gear i just suck

If you care about quests it’s probably a good idea to learn customs and woods early as most of the early quests are there

[tired hinge]

Me too, just keep jumping into customs on scav. I'm sure we will get better over time

[feral bramble]

Do you guys use body armor? Is it even worth it? I usually just sell it because it always goes for a decent price

[terse wedge]

ofc

[tired hinge]

What do you spend your cash on instead?

[turbid hearth]

u need it and ears

[terse wedge]

At minimum you should be wearing a paca for scav protection.

[feral bramble]

I ALWAYS wear ears but almost never take armor or a helmet.. don’t most people have high pen ammo that would make any ll1 trader armor useless?

[fresh vale]

huh, is Anesthesia and Rigged game basically the exact same quest?

looks like you're marking the exact same spots with the same items n shit

[terse wedge]

The majority of the playerbase doesnt have access to high pen ammo.

[cobalt copper]

Lets put it this way. There is no excuse to not use body armor

[whole thistle]

low level armor is just for scav protection, its still really useful

[whole thistle]

theres 3 or 4 quests with those exact same objectives

[feral bramble]

But a PACA is like 30k seems steep for each death.. to maybe be saved from a scav

[fresh vale]

I see, cause I did Anesthesia yesterday and unlock Rigged Game today I think, I thought I had lost it

[cobalt copper]

Right now i have like 7 level 4 body armors in my stash. Im level 6

[terse wedge]

So you would rather get 1 tapped by a buckshot scav and lose a whole kit

[cobalt copper]

I know that wont be the case for everyone, but its plentiful if you survive

[subtle phoenix]

how much should i be aiming to spend on a budget kit

[whole thistle]

what level are you

[feral bramble]

You have room for that? How? EOD?

[cobalt copper]

yes

[feral bramble]

Figured

[subtle phoenix]

6 but im bad

[whole thistle]

like 60 or 70k

[cobalt copper]

but if i sold that armor, like you are, buying a paca is no big deal

[whole thistle]

for headphones, armor, and a gun

[terse wedge]

Mosin, paca, gssh, backpack

[subtle phoenix]

what should that include other than weapon and meds, body armour helmt and ears?

[whole thistle]

this is what i was thinking of with that price @subtle phoenix

imo better to use the helmet budget on a slightly better gun

[left hound]

im extremely poor and needs lots of money, any tips

[terse wedge]

Scav runs.

[feral bramble]

True, I mean it’s pretty rare I find armor to sell bet I always sell it.. I have 2.1 mil rubles at level 11 now.. but I figured I’d just save up my money til flea opens up? I die a lot so all those pacas will add up..

[edgy plover]

If you want to guarantee profit, you can always enter the cycle of scavving and offline-PMCing while your scav is on cooldown. Scavving can only make you money, you can't lose anything. Offline is great for learning maps, cache runs, and getting good at killing scavs and scav bosses. This cycle is great to simply build up lots of money while learning

[left hound]

i get like 50k from my scav runs max

[terse wedge]

Then you're doing it wrong.

[whole thistle]

look up a loot guide for whatever map youre comfortable with

[left hound]

then how do i do it right

[subtle phoenix]

Best map for money scav?

[terse wedge]

If your pc can run streets then just go to lexos. Easy 300k+ a raid.

Lots of good shit in there.

[cobalt copper]

Dude you are doing great then.

[left hound]

bet, it might be able to run streets idk

[terse wedge]

Other than that you can just run interchange, check tech stores etc. Reserve has loot all over, woods is chill

Learn what to pick up and what not to pick up.

[feral bramble]

I tend to not buy anything lol.. besides the junk box and a few guns and ammo of course

[subtle phoenix]

How do i learn what to pick up?

[wicked jetty]

pick up purple things

[terse wedge]

Anything 10k per slot and over.

[cobalt copper]

Armor is worth it though. Theres no debate. If you wanna roll in without it to save $ thats cool, just find some asap

[edgy plover]

Either pick up everything and remember what sells, or use https://tarkov-market.com to price check

[subtle phoenix]

Ah ok

I dont have flea market tho

[whole thistle]

also check wiki pages to see if youll need things for quests

[feral bramble]

Okay, good to know, I’ll think about investing into some lol

[whole thistle]

yeah you can check if something is worth keeping until you do

[subtle phoenix]

Ah I see

Who is the best vendor to see weapons too

to

[wicked jetty]

mech

[terse wedge]

Things like poxy, rec bats, vitamins arw things i see left behind all the time, they all sell to therapist for 10k+

[brisk drift]

[vestal zodiac]

[wintry estuary]

[tired hinge]

Don't you always aim head unless they have face shield?

[gilded glen]

[earnest citrus]

[left hound]

[karmic cosmos]

[sterile minnow]

No

[whole thistle]

youll lose karma and you dont get xp for playing scav

[subtle phoenix]

How do I find salewa for therapist?

[queen sonnet]

med camp on woods

crackhouse on customs

or craft them

[brittle canyon]

white bishop med building and underground in reserve

[subtle phoenix]

I have to find them in raids tho

[brittle canyon]

you basically just run any of those med spawns and either you find the salewas or you find the stuff to build the medstation and craft the salewas

[queen sonnet]

can craft them for that task

[subtle phoenix]

Oh really

[brittle canyon]
