[bright sand]

I just got blasted into the past by a sniler group

Hit the factory gate (no PMC)

Road block

Then.... sniper area

[wispy gate]

[supple panther]

Eliminate scavs (while using specified gear)
Eliminate PMC (while using specified gear/from certain distance)
Find and handover
Handover
Go and find
Go, find and mark

[fresh vale]

when will I see the positives from gaining rep with fence?

[bright sand]

I was trying to get my stuff back

[cyan apex]

mark and then u can die

[bright sand]

and it just said "SERVER CLOSED"

[cyan apex]

i just got out of raid need to get the items out

[cyan apex]

do u wanna tag along too?

its the same task i was talking about

[bright sand]

Uhhhhhh... I can't even benefit from it atm

[wispy gate]

i wanna unlock jaeger to get the sks cause i know a good starter build

[merry berry]

immediately, and once you hit L2 he'll have more gear in his shop

[molten tendon]

@fresh vale pretty much every 1.0 you go up, every other scav I've been getting red flares or labs keycard at just about 2.0

[ruby karma]

any headset recommendations?

excluding the gsh

[molten tendon]

But each 1.0 you go up it'll be better a

[supple panther]

only the gssh

[cyan apex]

ya

[ruby karma]

bruh

[merry berry]

fuck sordins this wipe, I couldn't hear shit

[cyan apex]

just examin the items ez bro

[supple panther]

why pay more roubles

for the same shit

the gssh get the job done

[woven fiber]

sordins are my favorite ones

along with comtac 4

[ruby karma]

when i pay for insurance, gssh is the only thing that gets returned

smh

[merry berry]

used to be mine too, but this wipe they're awful for me

[fresh vale]

Ait thanks, also, is it worth buying the items for the Beta case? I'm new and I'm also on Punisher p.1 so not sure how hard or how long it will take me to get Epsilon

[supple panther]

yeah exactly

superior headphones

[wispy gate]

kindly check your dms

[supple panther]

no matter what youre wearing, ill always yoink ur headset

insurance fraud mine, take urs 💯

[ruby karma]

bro take my gssh fr

[bright sand]

I'm getting kicked for low connection quality this is starting to annoy me

[merry berry]

might be time to check your server pings then

[molten tendon]

@fresh vale I'm assuming you have standard? Honestly it's worth having a bigger gamma case but idk how worth it is to spend roubles to get a bigger case, I just spent the extra money I had to get EOD from standard

[woven fiber]

5% survival rating vibes

[cyan apex]

i got a sks from last raid (scav)

[merry berry]

honestly a bigger secure is always good and if you've got the money why not

[cyan apex]

u want it?

[merry berry]

it'll save you roubles from not having to rebuy meds as often

[molten tendon]

True

[woven fiber]

non eod tarkov is unplayable

[merry berry]

and it'll let you stash some potentially top tier loot so you make a profit even if you die

[cyan apex]

i can repair it for u

[molten tendon]

Bro tell me about it, I spent my first wipe with just a standard and oh God did I struggle lol

[wispy gate]

sure

[cyan apex]

at least it was not just a TT pistol

[merry berry]

yeah standard stash is suffering

[unborn cedar]

can someone help me with rouble issues?

[cyan apex]

oh wait

nvm

[molten tendon]

@cyan apex lmao for real

[woven fiber]

fr u get starting kit and have like 10 slots left

[cyan apex]

alr repaird it just bring the ammo

[merry berry]

stop spending roubles and start getting roubles

[unborn cedar]

good idea

[cyan apex]

woods 03;30

[merry berry]

thanks, you should follow it

[unborn cedar]

but how

[cyan apex]

m on colombia server rn

[unborn cedar]

to do so

cause you need a kit to get in properly

so you dont just waste time

[merry berry]

no you don't

[ruby karma]

you overestimate me by alot xd

[fresh vale]

I'm on standard yes. Wanted to try the Standard experience one wipe before upgrading

[merry berry]

go in with a T20 and toz, hit stashes, and dip

[unborn cedar]

even the stashes contested mane :(

[cyan apex]

@wispy gate

[merry berry]

then go nights with a p2 and a flashlight

[unborn cedar]

gotcha

[cyan apex]

better - go with a automatic shotgun with 3 flash lights

BLIND THOSE MFS

[merry berry]

or find a buddy to play with who can cover you or be your meatshield

or use your scav to hoover up good stuff that people overlook

[cyan apex]

what are we talking about btw

[merry berry]

mans having money issues

[wispy gate]

can you help me or no

[woven fiber]

i looooooov getting cucked by the mp7

[cyan apex]

m waiting in queue

[merry berry]

damn, those prices real? I'ma boutta make bank

wonder what the sales tax is on those listings tho

[woven fiber]

the funny thing is people actually buy it too

[merry berry]

market manipulation is 🔥

[bright sand]

My ping is agregious

[ruby karma]

are tier 3 or lower helmets even worth it to use

[merry berry]

yes

[woven fiber]

any helmet is

[ruby karma]

alr

[woven fiber]

well

not any

[ruby karma]

i saw a lot of ppl running paca's and headsets

[merry berry]

too late I bought all the tank commander hats

[ruby karma]

but almost no helmets

so i was wondering..

[woven fiber]

thats best one

[merry berry]

cause they dumb and like getting headshotted by scavs

or anyone else for that matter

I've ricc'd like 5 bullets already this wipe

and gotten a kill on the person who done it like 4 times

[ruby karma]

bro scavs still head 1taps me even if i wear that green helmet sold by LL1 ragman

[woven fiber]

people a bitches and hoard their loot until they quit 1 month into wipe cuz they get dumpstered by people running >4 armor and usable guns

[merry berry]

I ain't run that hat cause I can't use ears with it

also it exposes your forehead

[ruby karma]

that was me in the previous wipe LOL. except i quit after 1 week

this wipe im tryna gear up and not worry about money all that much

[merry berry]

I hoard all my shit until I hit L15 anyways

[ruby karma]

and im having more fun for sure

[merry berry]

then that stash gets E M P T Y

[woven fiber]

cause it doesnt cover ur face . it covers top of ur head . u use it just for lucky bounces . u should never buy helmets unless its altyn or the big black heavy mf i forgot name

vulkan

[ruby karma]

those unlocks after ll2 rag right?

[woven fiber]

most of the time helmets are waste of money but if u have one put it on

[molten tendon]

@fresh vale good idea that's what I did, but keep in mind it will feel better to play with a bigger gamma, so if you like it then spend the money cause it foes maks the game more enjoyable especially at the start of wipe

[woven fiber]

only the altyns and vulkans will actually reliably save you

[merry berry]

6b every raid and it has saved me multiple times

[fickle vessel]

what's the best 9x21 shrimp ammo

other than bt

[merry berry]

30k is chump change anyways

[woven fiber]

if i use helmet i use this one

[dapper epoch]

How good is this

[merry berry]

I use that once I get rag2 yeah

[merry berry]

its fine

[woven fiber]

why the 3x tho

[dapper epoch]

I killed someone and took it idk

[woven fiber]

surprised u killed someone with that ak

[whole thistle]

it is a ump

[merry berry]

its got the buttpad he got the +1 recoil

[woven fiber]

lvl 2 scav

[dapper epoch]

It was a pmc

[woven fiber]

atleast bro is using bt ammo

[fresh vale]

yeah I'll keep that in mind. I think I'll spend the rubles (+1mil) on the Beta cause it'll probably take some time to grind up to Punisher part 6, I can make the money back in a couple hours of scav runs anyway

[merry berry]

honestly anything that gets you more space for loot or gear is always a worth investment

even if you fill it you can just sell shit from it

[fresh vale]

how u got 1 euro 💀

[dapper epoch]

Im built diff

[fresh vale]

bro got 5 dollares 💀

[merry berry]

he buys a lot of glock parts

[dapper epoch]

We'll go with that

[fringe jewel]

where should i go if i have a loadout like this

scav loadout

give me time

[merry berry]

do you want to learn a new map with your scav, get loot, get your kit out, etc.

[fringe jewel]

get loot

[merry berry]

reserve, lighthouse, streets, interchange, or woods then

[fringe jewel]

hm

lighthouse have dead rouges killed by either pmc or player scavs

streets are a pain in the ass

[merry berry]

only if you don't spawn at 35 minutes into the raid like me anyways

[stable island]

hey guys waht are good semi auto builds that can snipe and head tap ppl that are budget i have flea

[merry berry]

then its got very alive rogues and PMCs

[fringe jewel]

whats your fence rep?

[merry berry]

.90

[fringe jewel]

no way

.90 but 35 minutes on raid?

[merry berry]

its around there anyways

its under 1.00

[fringe jewel]

i thought it needs to be max

[merry berry]

seems to be a consistent lighthouse thing for me

if I go interchange its usually sub 15

[fringe jewel]

what about reserve

[merry berry]

been in the 20s but I've only been on reserve as scav like twice this wipe

[fringe jewel]

true

matter of fact my rep is -0.48

but still got the same raid time

[merry berry]

gross

[olive ermine]

i killed santa 4 times this wipe

on accident

[fading pumice]

Did scavs get buffed again?

[fringe jewel]

ma bad cuh

[merry berry]

santa is garbage anyways, kill on sight

[lusty crow]

first night raid today. went in with nothing but a gornostay with pilad and n-15s and managed to win a fight against a guy who was G E A R E D. much profit

[granite pike]

care to share an image of the profit

[lusty crow]

there is the gun

[granite pike]

juicy

[merry berry]

nice

that'll sell for many roubles

[lusty crow]

timmies first quad noggs

[granite pike]

strip it for parts

[half pawn]

is 7.62x39mm HP good ammunition?

[merry berry]

HP is never good ammo

[lusty crow]

honestly ima keep it and use it at some point. i tried it in hideout and i love the gun

[half pawn]

okay thank you

[granite pike]

Not even slightly, you're better with ps

[merry berry]

unless you trust your ability to land 30 shots to the leg without getting hit back

[half pawn]

ah

[merry berry]

which I do with an STM but I wouldn't recommend it for anything elwse

[granite pike]

Time for delivery from the past

[half pawn]

ive got an ak

[lusty crow]

also got like 500k worth of sellables of him. i feel bad for the guy tbf. really expensive kit lost to a noob with a 30k gornostay xD

[half pawn]

ak 104

[merry berry]

no one owns gear, you're always just borrowing it

[half pawn]

i cant find any other 7.662 x 39 on traders

[granite pike]

Everyone knows the traders own everything

[merry berry]

yeah it unlocks way later

[lusty crow]

i was raiding at night to hit safes to get this damn flash drive still havent found one. only one i got i was a scav and some guy gave it to me and i couldn't thank enough. i have had a nightmare with this quest

[merry berry]

your best bet is to try and find loose ammo

reserve or places with lots of ammo crates and weapon boxes

[half pawn]

ah right okay that kinda sucks maybe ill just go in with the 49 i do have in my pouch

and 10 round mags

[lusty crow]

also for eagle owl quest can i bring nvg's and turn them off to kill scavs?

[lusty crow]

you can buy an ak-74 and 30 round mags of prapor for fairly cheap

[half pawn]

does ak 74 use different ammo type?

[lusty crow]

its 5.45

[merry berry]

so yes

[half pawn]

ah okay that might be a good idea

thank you

i found a 75 round drum mag

[fringe jewel]

@merry berry guess what?

[merry berry]

sup

[half pawn]

shall i sell it ? i dont think ill shoot that much

[fringe jewel]

i lost my scav loadout

[merry berry]

F

[fringe jewel]

to whom?

to fucking anticheat connection lost

[lusty crow]

sell what?

[merry berry]

probably, yes

[fringe jewel]

didnt get a second to play

[merry berry]

RIP

[fringe jewel]

then the game crash

[half pawn]

75 rnd drum mag

[half pawn]

okay ty

[lusty crow]

yeah if you aren't gonna use it, i'd sell

[merry berry]

you didn't get to reconnect?

[fringe jewel]

no

it immedietly ends

[merry berry]

that sucks

[fringe jewel]

man

tarkov gameplay is fun

but the requirements makes it painfull

internet speed, proceccors, gpu

all that shit

[dapper epoch]

Do i need to do the dehydration again or do i just need to survive a raid now

[fading zodiac]

how much is a sand key going for

[ruby karma]

i finally unlocked ll2 ragman but holyshit why is his stuff so expensive

theres so many too

[brittle canyon]

survive

[ruby karma]

what armor+helmet combo is worth getting?

from ll2 rag

[copper mango]

anyone have Portable bunkhouse key for the quest NA dm me

[brittle canyon]

ratnik and rat rig
or ratnik and mmac

buy bleach when they’re 11k or lower

[dapper epoch]

ty

[brittle canyon]

sell your crafted bleach at 12999 or 13999, I haven’t seen the market go higher yet

[ruby karma]

'rat'nik?

perfect for me

also is there a reason to push for t4 helms

or no

[brittle canyon]

when you start running gzhels and korunds maybe

[vital oasis]

15s into raid and im getting pushed by a 3man XD

[brittle canyon]

some people are running it now though but I’d rather just sell it for 69999

[ruby karma]

but if im running like UMPs and shotguns, its overpaying right

[vital oasis]

street spawns are horrible

[cyan apex]

keep running the pp helmet lol

[ruby karma]

wghats that

[cyan apex]

but if u wanna run smt expensive, check its class and ricochet chance

ricocohet should always be high

[brittle canyon]

ssh

[cyan apex]

ssh-68 steel helmet

[ruby karma]

ah no i want to graduate from that shitty helm lmao

like

[brittle canyon]

same price as ratnik but no ear prot and murders your ergo

[ruby karma]

its too bright

[cyan apex]

commonly knows as pen*s helmet

[ruby karma]

the green is too bright so i feel like i get headshotted more often

[cyan apex]

there is also 6b47

for 2 bleach

[ruby karma]

im prolly gonna go with 6b then

the ratnik helmet

[cyan apex]

the only good helmet is UNTAR from lv 2 ragman

[ruby karma]

extra ricoshet chance for me

cuz im a rat

[lusty crow]

do people just not loot at night raids?

[cyan apex]

cuz rest have medium ricoc change

chance*

[cyan apex]

what kind of people do that

[merry berry]

they're mostly in there to quest and kill

[cyan apex]

thats like the whole point of night lol either task or loot

[merry berry]

my ass going to night raids trying to find bosses and cultists

[cyan apex]

f

[granite pike]

i got the doc for delivery from the past

[ruby karma]

scav runs during nighttime is very juicy too

but its not fun

[merry berry]

night scav runs are great

[lusty crow]

really i would have thought it would be harder to kill? i go to night raids because i die less often and no one loots. just looted big red, dorms, gas station and the ZB-11 area getting caches aling the way and nothing was taken

[granite pike]

sacrifice your fun for the profit

[ruby karma]

honestly im spamming shoreline scav runs so already a minus point for profit lolol

i should really learn reserve and lighthouse scav runs but my lazy ass

[granite pike]

reserve night time:

Learn them intel spawns on reserve

I have about... 4 memorized

[merry berry]

depends on the map honestly, scavs have reduced vision at night so its a lot easier to kill them

and players with nvgs go blind when you switch on the flashlight :)

[lusty crow]

oh sorry when you said they go there to kill i assumed PvP

[ruby karma]

the mmac looks so smoll

does it cover anything at all

[lusty crow]

but yeah customs, stayed there for 30 mins not a single shot or scav voice line, no scav bodies. place was a ghost town. except me and loot, still no flash drive tho

[ruby karma]

lmao

[lusty crow]

no its a kevlar bikini

[granite pike]

Alright I'm loading into factory to get the package dropped off wish me luck

[cyan apex]

there is also a gas analyzer

[merry berry]

good luck

[ruby karma]

exactly

[brittle canyon]

thorax only which saves durability

it also has higher effective dura than rat rig & repairs better cuz its uhmwpe

only tad bit more expensive like 10k extra?

[ruby karma]

6b one looks like it can cover the stomach aswell

[brittle canyon]

ratrig covers stomach

would take into dorms or factory or other cqc

[ruby karma]

ohh

[brittle canyon]

mmac for big maps

[ruby karma]

so its better at handling close quarter fights

[merry berry]

do not take ratrig into factory you will get housed

[ruby karma]

so shotguns and pistols

[brittle canyon]

yes stomach shots are a threat only when your enemy can reliably hit it

[ruby karma]

wym?

[merry berry]

shotguns on factory are running flachette

[cyan apex]

i killed a geared PMC with a pistol lol

[merry berry]

your armor will get deleted

[ruby karma]

well i will be running flachette as well

[fading pumice]

When i watch videos about loot runs the people always seem to get a lot more roubles than i do even if i get the same stuff, how?

[merry berry]

then you better hope you have better armor

which if you're running rat rig is unlikely

[granite pike]

luck

[cyan apex]

and dont counter a cheater

[merry berry]

well armor ain't a factor in that anyways

[ruby karma]

wait but ratrig is t4 tho right

[merry berry]

ye

[brittle canyon]

they cut out the trash runs

[ruby karma]

are you saying i should atleast have t5

[brittle canyon]

they gotta clickbait somehow

[merry berry]

yes

[ruby karma]

well

i ain't getting that any time soon i think

[brittle canyon]

against flechette armor level is less important than effective durability

as long as it’s above t3

[ruby karma]

interesting

[cyan apex]

how much xp we get for each scav kill with sniper for sniper skill

[lusty crow]

i swear flash drive dont exist. 🥲

[cyan apex]

found 2 last raid lol

[merry berry]

now that being said the last 3 people I ran into with flachette have been atrocious players

[cyan apex]

done both flash drive tasks too

[merry berry]

so your mileage may vary

[lusty crow]

each raid im doing i search 3 safes, 4 sets of filing cabinets, 3 computers and like 10 ground caches and 10 jackets. and i have done that 6 times now

[ruby karma]

i mean if you are capable of running flachette at this point in the wipe

[cyan apex]

does that feature still exists where your weapon shots wont register if u do too much high dmg?

[brittle canyon]

how the fuck are buckshots rated 3 against armor
istg these dumb ratings are beyond useless

[cyan apex]

i found on dead body

[ruby karma]

the only way i can get flachette is thru flea

[cyan apex]

or craft

[ruby karma]

which cost 3.5k per bullet

[ruby karma]

im not lv20 yet

[merry berry]

it might be calculating on every pellet hitting

[lusty crow]

like i said the only one i have a random gave me xD

[brittle canyon]

it’s still massively slow

[cyan apex]

F

[fading pumice]

they make millions while i only make less than 100k even if i get similar stuff to them

[cyan apex]

for me - file cabinets - dead bodeis - cache

[merry berry]

well yeah 3 is 5-9 shots

[lusty crow]

Yeah ive been trying to get it for like a week now

[cyan apex]

and 2-3 times on that tent on woods

[granite pike]

I got the package placed!

[brittle canyon]

magnum buck 18 shots (not 18 pellets) to start dealing damage against fresh rat rig

[merry berry]

grats

[cyan apex]

lv 2 workbench

u can also craft RIP

[granite pike]

i got 3 pmc kills too nice

[merry berry]

this is why you aim head or legs with shotguns traditionally

[cyan apex]

break them legs

[brittle canyon]

that’s not the point though, the ratings on those ammo charts are outright misleading

[granite pike]

ap 20 takes only like 2

[brittle canyon]

I always advocate for just using battle buddy and making your own decisions

[merry berry]

I advocate for using whatever you've got and out maneuvering people

usually you only need to land one head/face shot to win

[brittle canyon]

tha’s not the point though

[ruby karma]

yeah i haven't unlocked lv2 workbench yet cause i don't meet the req

you need ll2 mech

and for ll2 mech i need to be lv20

[merry berry]

L20 do be asking a lot

[brittle canyon]

how many points towards stress resistance do I get for nading myself from full health

or does suicide remove skill progress

[granite pike]

Does anyone know the best places to find the items for lv1 medstation

[woven fiber]

only 1 way to find out

[merry berry]

you would hope that, but it would explain the guy impacting himself in glass last night

[woven fiber]

probably accident

[brittle canyon]

same place you find salewas

[merry berry]

it really didn't look like one

[woven fiber]

noone wastes impacts on suicdes

[granite pike]

So then medical areas

[brittle canyon]

yes

[merry berry]

no it was def a suicide

his tag just said died

and he had no gear

unless he got pushed by forklift and died with the nade primed I suppose

but then I imagine forklift would've still been there looting him

either way, it was weird

[fresh vale]

can anyone tell what scope that is?

[dapper epoch]

therapist tryna keep me busy busy

[elfin elm]

valday

1-6 assault scope

[carmine oxide]

I'm about to sell everything that's in red, is there something I should keep or some stuff I should also sell?

[elfin elm]

you need a couple horses for a task

[cyan apex]

whats your level?

[fresh vale]

that was my guess too, thanks for clarifying !

[carmine oxide]

Almost 9

[cyan apex]

ok u need those tapes for hideout, save with those white lamps

[elfin elm]

you also need wires for a task, and es lamps for a hideout station

[stable island]

[elfin elm]

[cyan apex]

wd-40 (2 slots one)

[merry berry]

xeno and shus sell for crazy amounts this wipe

[carmine oxide]

I just gave one for a task anyway

[cyan apex]

I hate that stuff

[elfin elm]

unless you still need labratory

[cyan apex]

its other one starting with O

[merry berry]

thats fine then

[carmine oxide]

Ortodontox

[cyan apex]

that should give u enough space

[merry berry]

I haven't seen in awl this wipe though

so my toilet is still busted

[cyan apex]

seen too many

in the starting

[merry berry]

with as many duffles and times I've been to oli I'm actually surprised

I was rolling in them last wipe too

[cyan apex]

filing cabinets lol

i found like 3-5 each raid in the beggning

[merry berry]

filing cabinets have been unironic garbage for me this wipe

[cyan apex]

now i found like 1 after 10-15 raids

[cyan apex]

they were buffed in the starting too

for keys

i found 4-5 reserve keys and 2-3 shorline ones

[merry berry]

yeah I heard

[cyan apex]

not a single marked one tho

[carmine oxide]

Clinx ?

[cyan apex]

how do i fix this

[carmine oxide]

Accept or deny friend request

[merry berry]

clin!

[cyan apex]

have none

[merry berry]

if you've got 2 you can get a gun from it

[carmine oxide]

Oh

[cyan apex]

silenced keder

[carmine oxide]

Maybe message request ?

[cyan apex]

lmao nvm its gone now

it came in morning no message and now its gone

[cyan apex]

there are 2 barter i think, 1 for 2 and second is for 3 clin

[carmine oxide]

so all this ?

[cyan apex]

yo wait

remove bitcoin

only for 63k?

thats really cheap

[carmine oxide]

I'm selling to therapist

I don't have flea yet

[cyan apex]

should go for 156k easily

ya with trader

might be a bug like with peacekeeper

so dont sell it rn

[mint light]

its not

btc is not very valuable

[cyan apex]

they were 156k like 2-3 days ago tho

[mint light]

btc dropped

[cyan apex]

damn

that sucks

[carmine oxide]

oh and why did my fence rep went from 0.4 to 0.7 ?

[cyan apex]

i say keep it

idk

u might have taken car extract

[lusty crow]

anyone know what this sells for on flea?

[elfin elm]

scav rep went up

[mint light]

a lot

[cyan apex]

there is a site for that

[carmine oxide]

ohh yes that why, I took it with 2 other pmc

[lusty crow]

there are no listings so idk how much to put it up for

[cyan apex]

ya u get .25 rep when u take it the first time

and it goes down by half each time

[mint light]

insta bought for 150k

[cyan apex]

till it reaches .01

but if u dont take them for a while it will come back to .15

after like 2-5 days or smt

[lusty crow]

why so much? it doesnt seem that good? +ergo and -1.5% recoil

[mint light]

gunsmith

its also a decent grip, like a shitty se5

could just use rvg tho

[lusty crow]

which gunsmith part? should i keep it?

[mint light]

its like 8

[final sail]

Has anyone been able to get into light house as a scav. I’m at 16 mins right now waiting

[mint light]

its 6

[brittle canyon]

I put it up for a barter asking cottage and someone bought it

[lusty crow]

cottage?

[brittle canyon]

cottage back door

[lusty crow]

hmm

[brittle canyon]

you can actually get shift for cheap using the mpx barter on mech 1 but it’s not very obvious

[torn copper]

did anyone else get their presets deleted?

[dawn geyser]

Navigate to the following directory
C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Battlestate Games\Escape from Tarkov\Settings
Right click the folder itself, untick “Read Only”
Click OK
Relaunch the game

[torn copper]

that's gonna give me back the preset?

[dawn geyser]

No

It will stop your presets from wiping

[brittle canyon]

wipe thursday?

[torn copper]

i made them this wipe tho

[quasi apex]

do you get xp at all for buying and selling?

[brittle canyon]

no

[quasi apex]

i assumed as much

[fresh vale]

killing rogues on lighthouse is both scary and rewarding!

[brittle canyon]

what ammo in mags

[ruby karma]

does this count start after i accept the quest?

[brittle canyon]

no

[ruby karma]

shit alr

[brittle canyon]

just craft car batt and use the leftovers for vents lv3

you can also craft plugs but totally not worth just run interchange a bunch

[fresh vale]

fmj and m855

[brittle canyon]

lmao

[fresh vale]

but at least I got a vudu

[merry berry]

only the handover part sadly

but also yeah, run interchange a bunch and hit oli/dufflebags and you'll get them "pretty" quick

[bold kernel]

if I take off Automatic Server Selection - will it make my queue times dramatically worse? I live in NY and was going to just leave North East server on

[brittle canyon]

no

[bold kernel]

ok so should I leave it on North East and take off automatic? I got put into a raid with 130 ping -_-

[merry berry]

servers on fire, as usual

[fresh vale]

I chose all servers below 70 ping , so I have about 4-6 servers selected

[modest pagoda]

i chose all servers with a max of 130 ping

[half pawn]

i just found a gp coin, im level 3, what should i do with it?

[merry berry]

sell it for cash

to therapist

[half pawn]

okay thanks

should i buy a scav junk box when i have enough

im at 1million 22 thousand and its like 80k more

stash is full of random stuff that idk if its useful#

[merry berry]

if you're having space issues then yes

[half pawn]

okay thanks

[grim heath]

100%

[merry berry]

junk box holds barter items so its mainly going to be holding stuff for your hideout upgrades

you got EOD or are you working off one of the smaller accounts?

[half pawn]

also, with push to talk do people use it to kill you mostly or are some people decent on it

[half pawn]

standard

[merry berry]

varies from person to person

definitely get the junk box then

[half pawn]

that makes sense

a dude was talking to me i couldnt hear him so i went outside and i got murked

[merry berry]

that'll happen

[half pawn]

yh

okay ty

[merry berry]

any time

[grim heath]

lots of wholesome people on too, dont let tarkov make you too cynnical!

[half pawn]

haha

is ps12b 12.7*55 rare? some reason prapor will buy it for 24 for 27k

[lusty crow]

biggest baddest bullet arguably. thing is like firing a cannon

[merry berry]

its not that its rare, its that its decent ammo

[half pawn]

right, does it go with any early game guns?

[lusty crow]

no

there are like 2 guns i think?

[merry berry]

yup

ash 12 and the revolver

and the revolver is FiR only I think

oh wait no you can barter for it

[lusty crow]

i really wanna get that revolver

[merry berry]

then enjoy your prapor 3 grind

[half pawn]

ill sell it off then

ty again

[river estuary]

can somebody show me around shoreline

[merry berry]

you might wanna try lfg channel

[river estuary]

my b didnt see it

[lusty crow]

whats the cheapest gun in the game?

[merry berry]

what kind of gun

cheapest is probably a pistol

[slow crag]

Makarov

I believe

[lusty crow]

okay that is my new favorite weapon

[merry berry]

only with 50 round mags

[lusty crow]

xD

[slow crag]

Prolly fires dookie rounds tho

What is it 9x18?

[merry berry]

9x18

you're only aiming at heads with that gun

[slow crag]

Yeah

[lusty crow]

yes

my first and best ever kill was with the makarov

[merry berry]

I've gotten good kills with it

its got a nice snap to it

[brisk drift]

can someone quickly help me finding usec camp in woods, eu server

[eager mist]

what is a sao micro rig?

[slow crag]

Use the map

[eager mist]

(if its the one i thinking of, it doesnt have durability)

[brisk drift]

i know the map, keep dying to random ppl

[slow crag]

Take routes that aren’t gonna get you killed lol

[eager mist]

ik but durability??

[merry berry]

ain't introduced so you're probably fine

[eager mist]

suggest places to look? or just kill scavs

[merry berry]

weapon boxes, dead scavs, stashes

dead scavs as in ones that have been killed

[eager mist]

you know what lvl it is to craft it?

[merry berry]

don't think its craftable

[true trench]

how do i split ammo into piles?

[brisk drift]

ctrl lc

[true trench]

that just moves it to my stock is there another way to split it

nm

[merry berry]

you're welcome

[true trench]

have to drag it at the same time apparently

thx

[gentle crater]

i found some gold egg, is that just something to sell or is stuff like that important

[merry berry]

sell

[weary meteor]

You need one fir for ragmans quest also

[elfin pewter]

scav knife probably

[elfin elm]

can't remember atm, any of these gunsmith parts?

[elfin pewter]

So I have a quest from Fence to kill 4 scavs, but it will give only +0,03 rep... How can I complete these quest without loosing reputation? I need to wait when scav will shoot first?

[elfin elm]

yep

gotta wait for them to be tagged as traitor

[merry berry]

F

[elfin pewter]

And as far as I understand it should be be a player scav only. Ok, probably will pass this quest.

[brittle canyon]

reroll

[elfin pewter]

-0,01 rep...

[elfin elm]

oof

just let it time out?

[elfin pewter]

I know it is just one scav run, but still

[elfin pewter]

yep, will do

[ruby karma]

lads, im doing chemical part 4 / out of curiosity quest

i know i have to do the therapist one

but on wiki, these quests look exactly the same

how do i "choose" ones side and complete their quest?

^^^ therapist - out of curiosity

[brittle canyon]

just complete out of curiosity

[ruby karma]

^^^ skier - chemical 4

yeah but

how do i complete it when both quests look exactly the same?

i must be tripping

both of them involve: preparing a marker, finding a vehicle in the exact same location, planting and extracting from that location

well according to wiki atleast

im so confused

[brittle canyon]

you just plant the shit

and turn in the therapist shit

and get the shit

just go plant it you’ll get it

[merry berry]

yeah I think you have the option to turn it in at either skier or therapist and that determines it

[ruby karma]

ohhh ok i got it

0 iq moments

[merry berry]

nah, the wiki doesn't mention it like that so its easy to see

I think a few quests are like that

[ruby karma]

btw therapist is the correct choice right

[merry berry]

you can do something similar with stirrup by finishing but not turning it in if you're worried about rep loss

[weary meteor]

You got EOD right?

[brittle canyon]

choose thera, repay prapor, don’t pay skier

[ruby karma]

yeah

[ruby karma]

i don't have the option for prapor

i only got therapist and skier

[brittle canyon]

choose thera first

and then restart game

[weary meteor]

Then give it to therapist yea and dont pay skier the 1mil rubles for “forgiveness”

You will earn enough rep to max him without it

[ruby karma]

oh leave it as it is? nice

i have enough rep to tank -0.25 anyways

[weary meteor]

Im lvl 43 and still havnt finished that quest

[fading pumice]

Is there away to decieve tarkov into thinking you have a slower computer to get a different spawn? i have spawned at trailer park 10 times in a row and i need to get to new gas

[elfin elm]

it's rng spawn

[brittle canyon]

pick a diff server

[elfin elm]

afaik

[brittle canyon]

so someone faster than u is matched

or maybe try putting yourself into group matching mode like scav runs? maybe it changes things

[weary meteor]

Shotgun?

[ruby karma]

damn armor eating my 6.5 express

yeah

[weary meteor]

I feel the pain

Did setup a while ago and never wanna use a shotgun in my life again

[ruby karma]

i have a shitty aim

also i get jumpscared a lot

hey no problemo

[brittle canyon]

put laser on and hipfire

[ruby karma]

shoot at anything

spam that shit and hopefully the shit that scared you is dead

[ruby karma]

embarassingly i put laser on and still do shit

also

i put mclaw on my mp153

and its costing me a lot

[brittle canyon]

put gk06

[ruby karma]

you mean gk02/

i don't see 06 version

[weary meteor]

Is it even worth it tho?

[ruby karma]

the mclaw?

[weary meteor]

Ye

[ruby karma]

um

mclaw has -24 recoil as opposed to -12 on gk02

shitty ergo but

[weary meteor]

When i did setup i used a mp-153 swapped out the 4 slug holder to a 8 holder and a cheap sight on it that didnt need a rail

[ruby karma]

i ahve 7 round holder on it

cuz i haven't unlocked 8 round one yet

[weary meteor]

Buying holos is expensive no?

[finite fulcrum]

got good loot and dont know where to go in streets

map is confusing

[weary meteor]

There is a sight that dosnt need a rail that jager sales costs 9k something

Cant remember the name atm

[ruby karma]

i kinda like this sight

[weary meteor]

Well its pretty much the same

[weary meteor]

That makes 2 of us

[ruby karma]

true but it got stuck on me

[finite fulcrum]

i want to go

I can't find the cinema

[weary meteor]

Theater you mean?

[finite fulcrum]

either or

Im at the budda lounge

[weary meteor]

Best map to use

Cinema or theater is bottom right

[finite fulcrum]

its so low res

where is budda lounge

[weary meteor]

Oh mmm i dont have the better one on phone also

[finite fulcrum]

I found the theatre

now I gotta find the vents

[ruby karma]

i unlocked t2 ragman and i have money but i still buy and use paca cuz its cheap

someone stop me pls

[weary meteor]

If you look down the stairs from cinema should be on your left near a bush

[weary meteor]

I find that paca is really good tho

[finite fulcrum]

Found it

There was another scav near

dude scared me

[weary meteor]

Especially for budget runs it protects you against scavs enough that you dont get 1 shot

[elfin elm]

paca and lvl 2 armor is the perfect early armor to use against scavs

cus it blocks all the flesh rounds from hitting your stomach, and all the lvl 2 armors have really good effective durability

[weary meteor]

Scavs are scary

[elfin elm]

paca especially

[finite fulcrum]

I love only being able to take outskirts in woods

[grim heath]

hate woods for that reason

its just either outskirts or northern un

[weary meteor]

You getting extract camped or?

[ruby karma]

everytime in woods lol

[finite fulcrum]

no its just a long walk

[grim heath]

no but its annoying to go all the way there lol

[finite fulcrum]

from eastern rocks to therte

[ruby karma]

they should add another extract fr

[weary meteor]

Hmm

[ruby karma]

especially from north east spawns

[grim heath]

being near usec camp is pain

[finite fulcrum]

of course when my pack is full I find a hand drill

[weary meteor]

Then you have to make room

[finite fulcrum]

well what should I drop for drill

[grim heath]

i exclusively find large items ONLY when my scav doesnt spawn with a bag :)

[grim heath]

drink milk

[weary meteor]

You dont really need the drill anyway its not worth that much

[finite fulcrum]

but stash

I guess I need the other items anyways lol

its gonna take a bit for that

so whatever

[grim heath]

wait why do you have the shit ammo in your safe pocket

[brittle canyon]

milk esmarch pliers

drink milk

[weary meteor]

You need a bigger backpack is what you need

[finite fulcrum]

its the ammo me gun uses

[grim heath]

you should probably put something else there, the ammo is cheap

[finite fulcrum]

can't buy it

[grim heath]

what rounds?

[bold kernel]

Once u locate sanitars room u dont have to go there again if u die right? just survive in shoreline?

[finite fulcrum]

its just pst

[weary meteor]

Wait yes you can?

That should be a lvl 1 trader round

[brittle canyon]

its quest locked

I think

[finite fulcrum]

not anymore

ll2

[woeful spruce]

removing pst is a such a weird decision

[grim heath]

9x19 is pretty shit anyways isnt it? does it really matter what rounds you run?

[weary meteor]

It got moved to lvl 2

Lmao

[elfin elm]

previous wipes it was

yeah, it got moved

[weary meteor]

Yeah just checked
