beginners-assistance

[reef prairie]

but what ive heard they randomly shoot you sometimes anyway, even if youre not hostile

[lapis goblet]

Someone help, my friend just reached lvl 15 and he cant sell most his items on the flea market since they're "Not found in raid" is there a fix to this?

Although he found every one of them in raid

[reef prairie]

thats not a bug, its a feature

you can only sell fir items

[lapis goblet]

"Although he found every one of them in raid" im pasting my previous sentence here

[reef prairie]

you need to find them in raid and extract with it

and its only items that spawned on the map

if a pmc brings it into the raid its not fir

[lapis goblet]

He just found a morphine injector on Streets on a bookslehf

and therapist wont accept it

[misty moon]

couuld someone explain why i cant list it

[lapis goblet]

There isnt

But it was on a bookshelf

[dawn geyser]

How much money do you currently have?

[lapis goblet]

He just got out the raid lmfao

[reef prairie]

not enough money for the fee?

[lapis goblet]

It wasnt on a player

[misty moon]

oh shi how does the fee work?

[dawn geyser]

Yes

You pay a fee

Be careful of how much you list things

Sometimes fee will be higher than your price

[analog fulcrum]

was it a "run through"? that removes FIR too

[lapis goblet]

OH. Thanks

[dawn geyser]

That's why some people list keys for barters

[lapis goblet]

Makes sense now

[dawn geyser]

Fee is too high

[reef prairie]

its a pretty complicated calculation. you pay the fee when you list it

and ofc you dont get it back if it doesnt sell or you abort it

[bold kernel]

how much % chance is red rebel from shturman?

[graceful mantle]

Reason i cant put stuff on flea?

[bold kernel]

do you have enough money to pay fee?

[reef prairie]

not found in raid, not enough money for fees, some items cant be listed at all

[graceful mantle]

Level 18 oh you right

Nah im at 8k lol

[minor laurel]

do you have to do both signals at one raid?

[bold kernel]

what % chance is to get red rebel from shturman

[minor laurel]

signal - part 1?

[graceful mantle]

Yes

[bold kernel]

i am level 9 i just killed shturman accidentally with a mf vpo 215 and i got red rebel

[unique plover]

yes, both in one raid.

[fresh vale]

how's the Luger CCI 9x19 ammo?

[dawn geyser]

Great for legs

[humble tide]

Leg

[fresh vale]

gotcha

[brittle canyon]

bad

[scarlet raven]

what in the fuck

prodigy

[bold kernel]

my luck this wipe is just a tiny bit good

[scarlet raven]

WHAT THE FUCK

[bold kernel]

28 hours on the game in total btw

first wipe 😭

[fresh vale]

gz

[scarlet raven]

teach me ur ways wtf

level 9 "accidentally" kills a boss lmao

[bold kernel]

i killed shturman and one guard with a vpo 215 without a scope PURELY on accident while trying to go tarkov shooter cuz i need xp

i have been watching YT etc about tarkov for about 2 years now, just got a computer strong enough to run the game

[fresh vale]

I've not even seen a boss yet, I'm 222 raids in

[bold kernel]

and somehow i killed shturman in my first boss encounter

funny part is, he was running ALL around me but didnt shoot ONCE

he did not even fire his weapon

[scarlet raven]

whered u get dorm marked key?

[fresh vale]

not sure if lowering it to 5% spawn chance was the move

[bold kernel]

killed a player scav

its 15% rn

[fresh vale]

rly?

[scarlet raven]

yeah they raised it

[fresh vale]

I see, across all spawns?

[bold kernel]

im standard too

[scarlet raven]

ya

[bold kernel]

too broke to afford EOD after buying a computer

[fresh vale]

tf, when did they do that

[bold kernel]

i have no idea

[dreamy imp]

they lower it at the start of wipe to prevent farming of the gear, it should be back up now

[bold kernel]

i love this game so much man

[fresh vale]

I see

[scarlet raven]

i would love my fucking mind if i got killed player scaving with a marked key

[fresh vale]

I've yet to see nor hear one tho

[bold kernel]

dude i did it on pmc run with a teammate

[brittle canyon]

they always nerf boss rates at start of wipe and raise it slowly

[bold kernel]

my teammate killed the scav i stole the key before he saw it hahahaha

he wasnt even mad tho

[red anvil]

i called an airdrop as a scav, it said wait for plane to arrive, been 3 mins its not coming?

[brittle canyon]

wait more

[scarlet raven]

ya it takes a bit

[bold kernel]

are u serious

[red anvil]

its been 3 mins man

[graceful mantle]

Can you buy air drops on flea?

[bold kernel]

me and my teammate called an airdrop before extract, waited 1-2 minutes then extracted

[reef prairie]

if there was an airdrop it takes 15 minutes until you call another one

nvm, you wrote wait for the plane...

[bold kernel]

i need help, which do isell and which do i keep

[graceful mantle]

are airdrops on the flea

[red anvil]

sell the ones ur not going to use

[bold kernel]

no

i dont use any of them

[graceful mantle]

Unfortunate

[sturdy ember]

then sell ;D

[bold kernel]

ngl waiting to get flea and sell most on them on flea they are very expensive but idk which ones to sell to traders and which ones to keep until flea

and which ones to actually run

[graceful mantle]

Sell all until u have flea ur only level 9

[red anvil]

i got scammed

[brittle canyon]

keep green

[reef prairie]

at least the gk02 i would keep, you need it for gunsmith quest

[bold kernel]

is M203 good?

[hardy fox]

how?

[brittle canyon]

grenade launcher

[fresh vale]

hows 9x19 Pst gzh?

[brittle canyon]

headshot only

[fresh vale]

why headshot and not legs, I wanna learn

[reef prairie]

not enough dmg for legs

[brittle canyon]

trash pen, trash damage

[fresh vale]

so, a very bad bullet

[reef prairie]

yes

[brittle canyon]

yes but the gun is cheap and the bullet is cheap

[fresh vale]

I get a bunch of ass bullets from quest rewards

[brittle canyon]

decent pp19 is like 80k tops

pretty cheap

[reef prairie]

why pp19?

[brittle canyon]

cuz it’s cheap

[reef prairie]

mp5 isnt that much more, and vastly better

[brittle canyon]

lol no

[fervent turret]

pp19 is p smooth

[brittle canyon]

ultimate downside: mp5 mag removed becomes 1 high, super easy to steal

[scarlet raven]

how did this rogue just eat 3 buckshot rounds to the head in a hat

[brittle canyon]

was he sitting on a gun

[scarlet raven]

for one of them

[reef prairie]

dont die then, easy 🤙

[brittle canyon]

sometimes they go out of sync and look like they’re on the gun for you but they’re actually standing next to it

[brittle canyon]

if you’re not dying you wouldn’t run shit guns like mp5 or pp anyway

[scarlet raven]

welp thats infuriating

[reef prairie]

well, if youre low lvl and only engage scavs/avoid pmcs

[brittle canyon]

things don’t always go the way you want do they

[scarlet raven]

nope

[bold kernel]

i just had a fucking heart attack for this mf at d2 (also i just had to extract i completed all the part 2 bunker:()

[brittle canyon]

tried to match similar stats

no mech 2 only pk2 and prapor2

plus flea

[misty moon]

what can u store in a documents case?

[fervent turret]

info items, keys, money

[reef prairie]

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

[drowsy bronze]

are items usually the same price as when you sell them to traders?

do they increase in price if you need a higher level trader to buy the item?

[reef prairie]

trader prices are specific for every item, but yes higher lvl stuff is usually worth more

[drowsy bronze]

should I buy a junk box as soon as im able to?

[ashen orbit]

Guys, where i can find flash drives.... i can`t find them

[reef prairie]

yes, i would

theres so much stuff to keep for quests/hideout, one isnt enough

[drowsy bronze]

yea i just got another one

[reef prairie]

they are pretty rare right now. i had to craft them to complete the quest

[ashen orbit]

I really forgot i can do this to -_-

[primal yacht]

How? do you Do that

[ashen orbit]

Thank you =))

[reef prairie]

you need intel center 2

[primal yacht]

Oh wow ye I will look in jackets

[hushed tusk]

is there any raider named takot

[reef prairie]

needs mechanic lvl 2 and a bunch of other hideout stuff built

[hushed tusk]

?

[primal yacht]

I just got my generator so ig I will have to wait

[reef prairie]

i just completed the quest, at lvl 28 🤣

[ashen orbit]

I did my upgrade to lvl 2 at inteligence center at level 25 so.... good luckl 🙂

[primal yacht]

I have one flash drive already but ig I can’t get lucky twice

[fervent turret]

[reef prairie]

or eft-ammo.com

[tired kestrel]

eft monster is best

info is way more easily digestible

Also, not really a beginner at all, but nowhere else to ask this. What are the best armours from lvl 3 traders? As they removed TTSK and now idk what to use

[dapper epoch]

Well i got my first melee kill lol

[whole thistle]

There's a bunch of random things that are out of date

Mainly the pictures and names of ammo

[tired kestrel]

i usually correlate it to other sites after, but tbh its the best at a glace, its not updated for 12.12 tho

[reef prairie]

wiki is usually the most up to date

[whole thistle]

eft ammo and eft ballistics are good if you want charts

[summer sparrow]

LF a group of guys to roll with msg me if you think you can roll with us

[reef prairie]

tarkov ballistics. that one is good, couldnt remember the name

has range-charts too

[agile hornet]

what site is this?

[drowsy bronze]

on the info section for the guns in the preset mode you want lower vertical and horizontal recoil right?

[whole thistle]

Yes

[agile hornet]

kek gratz

[drowsy bronze]

for the peacekeeper fishing gear task can i use any sv sniper or do i have to use the one hes given me?

[covert bane]

i might have just dropped 8.5m on one

[whole thistle]

Any

[fleet crag]

I kinda need help with some tasks. I'm lvl 10. I need to find a couple things and get a few scav kills

[whole thistle]

Lord almighty

[red anvil]

my character is in raid and i cannot connect server?

[thorny warren]

How do i stop it constantly freezing?

[red anvil]

my character is in raid and i cannot connect server? pls help i dont want to lose items

[whole thistle]

From mechanic 3 there's a barter for like 800k

[covert bane]

im very far from ragman 3

w.e its just a couple days of factory scav runs

[reef prairie]

that would be something. only one try, if you die you cant complete the quest

[whole thistle]

Mechanic I meant

[red anvil]

help

[lofty tartan]

youre loss bud no fix

[reef prairie]

F

[tropic grotto]

best usable ammo at lvl 15?

[reef prairie]

lvl doesnt say much, what trader lvls?

[tropic grotto]

only lvl 2 prapor and tp

[reef prairie]

you can get 7.62 ps from prapor 2

5.45 pp is also usable

[frosty musk]

Is there a conversion for dollars to roubles or only roubles to dollars

And is roubles to dollars worth it

So I don't need it because realistically I'm not going to reach those upgrades

[whole thistle]

Nutrition unit 1 is really early

[reef prairie]

thats a bit pessimistic. you can build most of them if you get to say lvl 25

[frosty musk]

Yeah ig, I'm just scared to play the game lmao

[reef prairie]

but as the wipe progresses they getting cheaper and cheaper, so if youre low on stash space sell them for now

[reef prairie]

theres nothing to be scared of. dying a lot in the beginning is part of the game

[frosty musk]

I'm just really struggling with gear fear

I'm only level 6 lmao

[misty moon]

how do i get higher rep thing in the flee market and what does it do?

[dapper epoch]

Sell things

You unlock more slots to list things

But it's a lot. It's like 30 for your 3rd slot

[fervent turret]

15 flea market rep is like 45m ruble

or something like that

[dapper epoch]

its 50k per .01

[fervent turret]

o

[dapper epoch]

Thats what i heard at least

[fervent turret]

so 5m per 1 rep

[frosty musk]

Don't you also lose rep if your stuff doesn't sell

[dapper epoch]

Yes you do

So dont make dumb prices

[fervent turret]

150m

[dapper epoch]

Only people getting 1000 flea rep are hackers lol

[copper turret]

hey guys 🙂 Can anybody give me a fractured arm on factory real quick?

[sly roost]

@copper turret get gym fail a bunch of quotes

[cedar bay]

why do player scavs do this? I tried mumbling so he would know im a scav, even wiggling when he entered the tent, but he still tried to shoot me so I had to either let him kill me or then kill him and get - rep for fence... so annoying

https://medal.tv/games/escape-from-tarkov/clips/SgPsmPBM9QRxc/d1337KQE9X51?invite=cr-MSxHN1QsOTE3MjI1Myw

i just dont get what the point is to fight other scavs as a scav

[copper turret]

Don't have Gym yet -.- lvl 11

[dull storm]

hes broke asf and needs anything he can get even if that means losing rep

btw nice shot

[drowsy bronze]

is there even much point in selling items on the flea market if they are worth only a little more than when selling to traders because you have to pay to put it on right?

[cedar bay]

well he had a full set of stuff, a vpo, rig, backpack, pistol, if hes that broke he should just extract and use the stuff or sell :L

[dull storm]

some items barely profit but there is a good amount of items that you can resell for more than 2x what therapist will give

[thorny warren]

Should i put tarkov on full screen? Or borderless?

[cedar bay]

and thanks, I'm pretty happy I realized he was about to shoot me so I dodged

[drowsy bronze]

what about helmets or similar items

body armour and stuff

[frosty musk]

I saw a dude who looked like a scav, and he had a buddy so I tried to ally up with him then I started to go loot and we turned on me and my buddy

[cedar bay]

people often sell for a loss on flea compared to traders because they want their flea market reputation to increase

[dull storm]

i usually bring all the items im gonna sell all the way down into my stash and check mechanic,therapist,ragman and check what theyre offering then go into flea market and see if people are willing to pay more for each item if not just sell em

[cedar bay]

yea i told a guy earlier there was a propane tank he can have as I cant carry it, i dropped it to him and he thanked me, said hold on i have something for you as well and then he shot me in the head

[bold kernel]

Wait

Should scavs not kill scavs?

??

[cedar bay]

no

[bold kernel]

Why

[cedar bay]

you loose fence reputation

scavs are friendly to you as long as you dont shoot other scavs

[bold kernel]

Ok

But how do u know its a scav

[dull storm]

If you kill a scav you get minus rep, youre gonna wait longer per scav raid and get worse loot also every AI scav on the map will target you

[drowsy bronze]

for this helmet its 20k more on the flea market but it costs 7k to put on, so i guess there is a profit but i dont get the 7k back right?

i mean there is no reason not to sell it on the flea market

[dull storm]

no but your reputation for flea market will go up thats why some people have 2.43 or 0.53 next to their name youll be able to post items for less rubbles the more you sell

wrong reply^

[cedar bay]

clothes differ, and you can often tell from gear, also scavs always speak russian

[bold kernel]

😦

[drowsy bronze]

oh i see so i can lower that 7k cost if i sell more things

[past river]

some have easy indentifiers like the bright yellow coat or red and white tracksuit jacket etc. but honestly its just wait to be shot at and hit once before shooting back

[drowsy bronze]

guess ill do it

[cedar bay]

yes, also if you sell enough things to get to reputation 30 you can have 3 listings at once on flea market. but thats pretty difficult

[reef prairie]

if the difference is not too big its not a bad idea to sell to traders

you need it to level them up anyway

[drowsy bronze]

i have two gas store keys and they are worth a bit so i sold one

[dull storm]

some items you are gonna sell the therapist shell give you like 5k and then if you post it on flea its like 55k

[frosty musk]

PMCs look like soldiers usually, scavs wear colorful clothing and very raggy looking gear usually

[dull storm]

i got a marked key shes buying it for 60k flea market its 500k+

[bold kernel]

Hmm ok

[frosty musk]

A lot of the time for me it's just a guess because I'm new to the game, but I can usually guess correctly 70% of the time

[past river]

then flea it or keep and use (certian keys are worth alot others nothing)

[drowsy bronze]

i accidently end up shooting other player scavs thinking they are pmcs but i cant aim so i die anyways

[dull storm]

Ik im just suggesting that everyone should check flea if youre able to before selling to traders (unless you need rubles for level up)

[frosty musk]

And then when you die, you can tell if it's a scav or not whether it looks like a player username or if it's a randomized Russian name

[drowsy bronze]

bad aim kind of comes in handy sometimes

[reef prairie]

if youre worried about youre fence rep you can just voiceline

[coral thistle]

what's the recording tool called that allows you to automatically clip the whole raid?

[drowsy bronze]

you can use voicelines to increase rep?

[past river]

and those 30% of the times kills you scav rep givin you loose .1 for each player scav kill or scav kill now and it doubles each time you kill another in the same raid. so kill 3 player scavs and thats -0.3 fence rep which is 30 scav exfills to repair

[reef prairie]

most player scav will voiceline back, so you know its a (likely friendly) pscav

[drowsy bronze]

oh right yea

[past river]

no its -0.4

[frosty musk]

I've only killed one scav as a scav and I think it was an AI scav. A PMC killed my friend who was also a scav and I killed the PMC so I was just in a bit of panic because I heard sounds while I only had a pistol and was bleeding

So I just killed on sight

[reef prairie]

thats what i always do. if i hear playermovement i voiceline, if i dont get anything back i assume its a pmc or "bad" pscav

[drowsy bronze]

oh right yea i guess ill start doing that more often then

[frosty musk]

Yeah scav rep is kinda hard to keep

[past river]

-0.1,-0.2,-0.4,-0.8 etc etc each time you kill a player scav think its -0.02, 0.04,0.08 etc for ai scav

[cedar bay]

same, but often its a bad pscav that hasnt shot another scav so you just get negative rep unless you let him shoot you first

[drowsy bronze]

should i sell keys i dont need right now but i probably will later if they are worth quite a bit of money? i have this other gas store key

[frosty musk]

You have to be a menace against PMCs to have good scav rep

[drowsy bronze]

do i need a gas store key for a task sometime?

[past river]

use vehicle exfills as a pmc also they bump it nicely

[frosty musk]

Could be AI

[reef prairie]

i rather have good rep. i dont care if i get killed once in a while

[reef prairie]

thats why i wrote playermovement. you usually can tell if its ai

[frosty musk]

I don't usually take money with me, 2x2 case is super restricting

[past river]

get a docs case lets you hold cash, keys and intel items in it for 2 slots it gives you 16

[cedar bay]

same, but when you start getting killed by player scavs more often than not it gets frustrating

[frosty musk]

I'll see if fence ever has one, I don't have the flea market

[cedar bay]

i still have 2.06 rep rn even though I killed santa accidentally twice before he was removed, fkn idiot ran at me while I was fighting other pmcs

I really wanna get to 6 rep though

[lunar harbor]

Learn a good solo scav route, And just avoid all people including scavs

[cedar bay]

he wont

[reef prairie]

i dont know whats up with that. im at 120 or so scavraids and 85% sr

[past river]

therapist ll2 gets the barter for it

[frosty musk]

I think I saw fence with a docs case once

[cedar bay]

might be because I play a lot of lighthouse as scav and everyone is greedy as fuck

[reef prairie]

could be. i play mostly (night) reserve

[cedar bay]

whenever I dont get shot by scavs I just kill a couple usec rogues and get out with like 500-600k profit

[frosty musk]

I usually just rush to extract as a scav unless I come across a friendly player scav and we can get each other's back

Not a good idea but money

[reef prairie]

i have my usual places i go to that a rarely looted, and if im not full i go bunker and out

[frosty musk]

I did just pick up a dorm key when searching the file cabinets next to office window on factory

Factory is the only map I am at all familiar with

[cedar bay]

i used to go reserve as well, the risk is higher on lighthouse because of crazy scavs but the reward is much higher

[frosty musk]

If I'm not on factory I'm in woods, and I get so lost

[cedar bay]

well woods have little to no landmarks visible at all times

[frosty musk]

Open world will be a pain for navigation

Especially for new players

[reef prairie]

luckily i dont really need to make a lot of money from scavruns, and im always full with decent stuff, but nothing crazy

last wipe was better, dead raiders in bunker most of the time

[frosty musk]

My stash is extremely full yet I'm still a money hog

[reef prairie]

this wipe i almost never see them

[cedar bay]

well I dont HAVE to either but i just killed 1 rogue, got a free mk47, large backpack, rig, armor, helmet and headset, its just worth it imo

[frosty musk]

I can't play much video games but I've probably made 400k since I started a few days after the wipe and spent 40k

[reef prairie]

me too. i cant even take armor or weapons from my scav because no place to put them

[past river]

sell your junk then man

[frosty musk]

Before I do a scav raid I put a bunch of stuff on my pmc

[reef prairie]

too lazy to go through the junkboxes and sort out the stuff i dont need...

[frosty musk]

Usually I do a scav raid then organize my inventory until my scav is available again

[livid glacier]

is m855 good

[reef prairie]

and i dont want to sell the decent weapons and lvl 4 rigs because i eventually need them

besides they are all full too 🤣

[frosty musk]

I still have my Christmas aug

[kindred forum]

is there a good strategy for the introduction quest? ive been trying to make it out of woods alive with the letter for hours now

[frosty musk]

And I have no plans to use it

[livid glacier]

same

[frosty musk]

And I haven't sold it

[reef prairie]

i used it and was shocked how bad it is

[modern vine]

I need help (kinda know the basics)

[frosty musk]

It would probably be worth to sell it then get 2 aks

[livid glacier]

556 is kinda ass

[frail comet]

Is there somewhere I can see which scopes are compatible with certain guns

[frosty musk]

Actually 80k is enough for 3 aks, mags, and a bunch of level 1 prapor ammo

[reef prairie]

the ammo is not bad, 856a1 is decent for now and i still have 1600 or so

[frail comet]

Cuz to I have like 14 guns en and my vudu and razor both can't go on any of them

[reef prairie]

but the horizontal recoil is crazy

[oblique peak]

anyone wanna give me these two and i pay?

[frosty musk]

What's the best ammo from level 1 prapor, is it the one that is 46 roubles per round?

[astral barn]

having a lot of trouble on figuring out what stuff to keep/sell

my stash is hella full

[mint light]

hi

[frosty musk]

I have like 7 different backpacks in my stash lmao

Bagception is crazy

And I don't even use a backpack if I do happen to do a pmc raid

[reef prairie]

i have 4 free squares in the stash right now 😆

[mint light]

you should

[cedar bay]

why not XD

[cedar bay]

I have 73, just counted them

[frosty musk]

My gear fear is on another level

Gear is the hardest part of the game for me

[cedar bay]

no way to get over it than loose stuff

[mint light]

if u dont use backpack u will make minimal money

[hardy fox]

Lmao I have like 3 I just use them and never get them back if insurance

[mint light]

backpacks are like 20k lol

[cedar bay]

a backpack is like 10-20k, you can fit like 200k in the smallest ones easily

you wont get over your gear fear by continuing to not use stuff

[frosty musk]

I hardly loot much, I spend most of the raid time figuring out where I am, and then I don't really know loot spots

Yeah I need to use it

[hardy fox]

Oh do you not use a map or offline raids?

[cedar bay]

if you loose EVERYTHING, then oh no too bad, play scav a couple raids then your fine, if you dont loose everything well good

[kindred forum]

whats the best way to complete the introduction quest

[hardy fox]

Walk there grab it extract?

[astral barn]

im having trouble with my storage space, what do i do

[trim steeple]

At night with a pistol in and out 7 minute

[mint light]

so scav

[cedar bay]

just pull up a map, and if you are that new that you dont know any maps at all then play offline raids to even learn how to find the extracts witht he help of a map

[trim steeple]

Sell sell sell

[kindred forum]

with a flashlight on the pistol?

[frosty musk]

I use mapgenie and I don't do offline raids because I am limited to an hour of video games a day

[reef prairie]

most maps arent really that dark at night

[trim steeple]

Yea

[hardy fox]

Oh

[woeful spruce]

to use a map and orient yourself and if thats challenging you can find someone to lead you to it in #pvp-lfg for example

[fervent turret]

still consider using offline mode to learn maps

[frosty musk]

Would probably be a good idea

[kindred forum]

i do use a map and i know the routes well by this point, i just keep getting shot in the head from unknown locations lmao

i'll try going in at night

[cedar bay]

offline raids are still worth, and an hour a day is still plenty to learn maps

[frosty musk]

I think gear fear is tampering with my confidence and lack of map knowledge is tampering with my money making which is also further contributing to gear fear

[woeful spruce]

night isa good, idea. i would advise also not going near the sawmill and keep in mind the location of the sniperscav

[hardy fox]

That’s just woods all over

[cedar bay]

so learn the maps, play offline so you will have a better time later on

otherwise you will continue to struggle and not have fun

think of it as an investment

[frosty musk]

Should I play with ai scavs

[cedar bay]

not when you are focusing on learning maps

[trim steeple]

Bring kits you can do damage with you can afford to lose.

Best way to get over bad performance in pvp because you’re worried about losing a gear set

[woeful spruce]

what do you mean by that

[frosty musk]

Does gear slow you down

[frosty musk]

On an offline raid

[cedar bay]

if you play offline raids only for a week, thats 7 hours, thats plenty to learn a couple extracts on all maps

[hardy fox]

Ofc but better chance living and killing things

[woeful spruce]

oh, yea you can train your shooting if you want and learn where thay do and where they dont spawn

[cedar bay]

but if he doesnt even know the extracts, then its better to have them off in the start so he can focus on that

[frosty musk]

I meant on offline raids, I should probably take off my gear so I can run around the map a bit faster

[hardy fox]

Yeah

[cedar bay]

if you dont have scavs on then yea, take gear off, otherwise keep it on

[frosty musk]

Thank you guys

I'll give it my best go, I think the game is worth the time

I've been looking for a hardcore shooter like this for coming on years

Now that I have it I should probably try to learn it lol

[hardy fox]

It’s a good crack quite a few bugs and issuer apart then that it’s fun

[frosty musk]

I also can't wait for arena

The gun mechanics are just really the best imo

[cedar bay]

its not everyday someone says that haha

[reef prairie]

🤣

[bold kernel]

Where am I on Shoreline map guys?

[dapper epoch]

rock

[cedar bay]

look on a map

[frosty musk]

I mean I can understand that the recoil can be difficult and I've had some frustrations with shotgun jams but I really enjoy target shooting irl and this game captures the feeling of shooting a gun really well, without the use of haptics or anything

[terse wedge]

behind resort

[bold kernel]

@cedar bay gee thanks

[cedar bay]

you see power pylons, you cant see the ocean, those are big clues

[bold kernel]

ty

[cedar bay]

well you wont learn how to analyze maps to find your position by asking everyone where you are with a screenshot

[frosty musk]

At the very least the gun mechanics are incredibly unique

[reef prairie]

really? do you shoot a lot irl?

[hardy fox]

Most maps has landmarks like shoreline giant red ball or ocean

[reef prairie]

because ive never shot a gun, and to me the recoil seems really really bad

[cedar bay]

think about what landmarks you see, and also think about what you CANT see, on shoreline for example if you cant see the ocean then that cuts half the map off

[frosty musk]

Not a lot, and have never fired a full auto gun

[reef prairie]

ive never played a fps with a worse recoil mechanic than eft

[frosty musk]

But like the handgun recoil is accurate if you aren't too experienced with them like me

[cedar bay]

the characters in game are trained military personal though

[frosty musk]

A good handgun shooter an spam the trigger with great accuracy, in tarkov not so much

[frosty musk]

Yeah the recoil is quite exaggerated now that I think about it

[reef prairie]

ive talked to people that were in the military and they said they were surprised how easy it is to control the weapon in full auto

aug in that case

[pure zephyr]

Can you find this in raid or do you need to do the barter trade?

[frosty musk]

I also find it really weird that full auto recoil in tarkov can go downwards

[carmine oxide]

can anyone help me for aquarius part.1 ?

[reef prairie]

not only that, but you cant really counter it at all. if it was exaggerated, but at least linear it would be much much better

[cedar bay]

its because the characters pull down because of recoil

[frosty musk]

I don't know how realistic that is if the pmc isn't supposed to be controlling recoil without player input

[cedar bay]

he does after a while

[reef prairie]

give me something like og pubg and im happy

then i can at least drag down to counter it

[frosty musk]

The recoil assist your character gives is really wonky, imo it's a weird design choice

[ornate palm]

is there a way to report a person promote a cheating product through discord?

[cedar bay]

and that is why nobody likes the recoil in the game, hence my earlier comment saying its weird how you enjoy the recoil

[reef prairie]

its just bad design

[frosty musk]

I just don't play enough to really get frustrated with it probably

[reef prairie]

plus burst is unusable

[frosty musk]

It's never caused me to lose a fight

[reef prairie]

considering its designed to shoot the burst before the recoil hits

[cedar bay]

burst is worse than semi or auto because the recoil control of the pmc never kicks in and its still full auto speed

[frosty musk]

But I got the game just over 3 weeks ago and probably have like only 10 hours

[cedar bay]

oof

[cedar bay]

i got the game 9 weeks ago and I have 310 hours

[frosty musk]

Sheesh

[reef prairie]

i have a couple more hours and i definitely lost quite a few fights because of the recoil

[frosty musk]

A few years ago my computer could only run Minecraft and Roblox so for a solid 2 years I only played Minecraft and only got like 1.2k hours

In 2 whole years as my only game

[frosty musk]

Totally fair, since I usually run scav and just go straight towards extract I don't have many encounters and even then I am more likely to have a single fire vpo or shotgun than a full auto ak

[reef prairie]

a lot of the guns a borderline unusable without a couple mods

spray and pray, let rng take over...

[unkempt cypress]

yeah its unfortunate, if you can rapid tap single fire, I found some decent success with that

via akm or even ak-74 early levels

UMP trumps all tbh tho

[reef prairie]

yeah

and thats just because the recoil is managable

[tawny oak]

ump, used from early to end wipe

[past river]

point fire vert recoil is negated when point firing only horizontil spread is in effect

[pearl fossil]

Does Tagilla target player scavs?

[dreamy imp]

all boss's do unless your scav rep is 6+

[pearl fossil]

ah ok ty

[bold kernel]

where use rb ao key at

[tawny oak]

i thought it was that the chance is higher but guranteed at 6+

[tawny oak]

its in the corner marked room building near the train tracks

room spawns 5.45 aks and mods

[bold kernel]

what map

[tawny oak]

rb-anything is reserve

[bold kernel]

ok

thx

is reserve friendly

[dull storm]

RB means reserve bunker im sure, and underground is where the pvp is at so good luck

[bold kernel]

scary

[reef prairie]

every reserve key starts with rb

[terse wedge]

reserve base

[dull storm]

maybe it means reserve base

[bold kernel]

No

It means

[drowsy bronze]

When it says the avg estimate of my items value when listing on the flea market does that factor in my items durability as well?

[dull storm]

real bologna

[bold kernel]

Reserve Balls

where fat loot location in shoreline

[bold kernel]

No

[drowsy bronze]

and whether there is a magazine or not and stuff

[bold kernel]

What exits is RR for

I got it from shturman a ciouple hours ago

where find fat loot in shoreline

Resort

[dull storm]

health resort pvp and loot

[bold kernel]

is that the one in the way back of the map

[dull storm]

its the gated hospital-type building with a helicopter near it

[bold kernel]

nice

is that a dangerous place

[nimble drift]

can anyone help me with stirr up?

[dull storm]

yes it is like going into the bunker in reserve

[bold kernel]

time to risk losing all of my gear and gun

[tawny oak]

run customs and hope you find a timmy, or throw flashes in factory

[bold kernel]

If ur new u losing it

[azure cliff]

best map for money farming?

[bold kernel]

then im def losing everything

Yea

Resort is for chads

[bold kernel]

Lighthouse or interchange

[dull storm]

try interchange it isnt a hard map people arent as kitted and theres pretty good food tech and med spawns for money

[bold kernel]

wow

i just lost everything

right at an extraction

what is a strong body armor

[magic igloo]

is my gym bugged? like the skillcheck clicks itself non-stop

[bold kernel]

whats a strong body armor

[safe panther]

the green one from ragman with pockets for no lvl trader

[safe panther]

might be a geforce setting check yt\

[safe panther]

best map in game

[balmy folio]

yes thats a bug gonna have to wait for patch to use it

[magic igloo]

can't tell if you're joking or not

[balmy folio]

im not joking its fucked

keep trying it but if it auto fails once then esc out

also try checking file integrity in launcher and clearing cache idk if those will do anything but they dont hurt

[magic igloo]

ok thanks brother

[dapper epoch]

Where is this folder

[twilit wolf]

is this right for gunsmith 1?

[worldly wolf]

why is there a tracker in my hideout

[safe panther]

gonna get raided

they waitin for you to go in raid and gonna steal your loots

lol

jk

[dapper epoch]

My scav gameplay is so different from my pmc its insane

[noble silo]

its worth try a run into labs or its better sell the keycard?

[dapper epoch]

Keep it so you can practice labs

[bold kernel]

repair it, gotta be at a certain dura

tis the correct build

[pure zephyr]

there was a doge for me

[orchid salmon]

You need a couple for fishing place FIR too 🙂

[safe panther]

had to sell mine for juiceables to run raids last night sadge

first kill i a lvl 4 dropped a 44 with his mp7 and i had the vepr

[solemn pine]

im looking for chek 15
key for a quest if someone can help me

[astral barn]

i was doing a scav run and i killed another player scav. they had this gun. can player scavs spawn with this?

[elfin elm]

ye

[dapper epoch]

Dont kill other player scav

[elfin elm]

there's a karma rep system

[astral barn]

well i didnt know they were player scav

[dapper epoch]

Dont kill other scavs

At all

[elfin elm]

I think the assumption is that he thought it was a pmc

[astral barn]

my scav rep is in the fucking dumps right now because i think that player scavs/regular scavs are pmcs

[dapper epoch]

Only thing u should ever shoot is something thats shooting you

[elfin elm]

cus they had a gun he didn't know they could have

[safe panther]

try and hunt pmc when you scav

[dapper epoch]

Even if you see a pmc, if youre going for rep, just ignore unless youre shot

[elfin elm]

gear can be changed and picked up and dropped, you wanna look at their undergarments really

[dapper epoch]

If you cant distinct scavs and pmcs

[elfin elm]

their pants and t-shirt n shit can't be changed in raid

and are unique sets per faction

[dapper epoch]

Scavs will usually have brighter clothes

Reds, whites, blues etc

Pmcs tend to have more military green, beige

[elfin elm]

if ya see a man running around with the tactical chonklas, he's a scav

[dapper epoch]

Like theres a few scav models that i can tell instantly at this point

Red jacket mostly

[elfin elm]

bright white sleeves is a dead giveaway too

[dapper epoch]

Yeah

[balmy folio]

balck hoodie with yellow words on arms

some blue puffers

[dapper epoch]

It might help to take a look at the possible pmc clothing yourself

[balmy folio]

theres one bear top that always confuses me its blue

[dapper epoch]

But basic rule of thumb is scavs wear more common found clothes, hoodies, jackets etc

[frail comet]

what guns can a razor or vudu scope go on cuz I got like 12 guns rn and none are compatible

[dapper epoch]

While pmcs generally wear more military looking colors and gear

[elfin elm]

do you have the 30mm scope rings?

[orchid salmon]

You need a 30mm mount to put the scopes in 🙂

[frail comet]

yes

I do

[orchid salmon]

And probably a dust cover or rail that the mount can go on

[elfin elm]

any rifle with top picatinny rails usually

as long as the rail section is big enough

[orchid salmon]

Do you have the workbanch?

[frail comet]

Level 1 yea

[orchid salmon]

If you make the workbench you can edit preset of the gun

If no dust cover rails show up, link search the gun and examine everything 🙂

[fleet crag]

Could I please get some help with tasks on customs?

[balmy folio]

go to looking for group chat

[tiny grove]

What is the best map for money runs (scav)

[elfin elm]

technically all of them

there's loot on every map, the key to good scav runs is efficiency and learning a versatile route

that being said, are you a new player?

[tiny grove]

yea

my first wipe

if you don't count playing scav once last day of last wipe

[whole thistle]

its found in raid and has low durability so it has to be a scav gun

[elfin elm]

so in that case I recommend interchange as a good starting point

[tiny grove]

I already know all of reserve and factory

i'm rusty on woods

I guess I could try interchange tho

[elfin elm]

woods is probably a harder map to learn off the bat

[elfin elm]

it's a square with an extract in the top left corner and bottom right corner

as a scav you ALWAYS have both as options

[tiny grove]

I know exactly where extracts are, where juice town (I call it Juice Town but its probably called cargo town) is, Where Scav town is, and where ZB-014 is.

I have a friend who is teaching me the game but he hasn't been on for like 2 weeks

[elfin elm]

the trickiest part of woods is that you kinda have to know where you are on spawn by looking at a handful of trees, and a lot of the best high value loot is in sneaky spots

[fading pumice]

How can you survive in dorms as a pmc? need to get to room 303 for a quest but can never make it there without dying.

[elfin elm]

wait for the pvp to die down, and/or night raid

[tiny grove]

Speaking of dorms, I kinda know customs, but not too well

[elfin elm]

usually the juiced players rush dorms, and are done with it before about half way through the raid timer

[drifting jolt]

^

[elfin elm]

so wait a while, walk your way through customs slow like

the less you sprint, the more likely you'll hear danger in the area and more likely you'll get there at a safe time

[tiny grove]

@elfin elm My scav is ready, I'm gonna try interchange. Want me to stream it?

[elfin elm]

do you have eod?

[tiny grove]

No

[fading pumice]

even when i crouch walk at minimum speed its the same as normal walking

[tiny grove]

I have the one before it

PFE

[elfin elm]

eod can do co-op offline raids is why I asked

[tiny grove]

oh, cool

[elfin elm]

it's not about walk speeds, it's about not constantly running from POI to POI

take it slow

[bright rune]

I struggle so hard with getting pmc kill with bolt under 25m. Any advices?

[elfin elm]

run facctory, bash your head against the wall

you're gona get a kill 1 in 12 runs

but it'll get done fast-ish

[elfin elm]

I'd offline pmc run though before trying a scav

[tiny grove]

@elfin elm I'm probably gonna go into LFG #5

If you wanna talk me through the offline raid

[elfin elm]

generally there's two ideas when scaving interchange, you do a cache run, or you loot in the mall and hit a hand ful of caches on the way out

[elfin elm]

give me a minute I can do taht

[tiny grove]

(I'm 13, so my voice may be annoying)

[bitter ember]

Would anyone like to help me with an operational task?

It's pretty simple.

[elfin elm]

what is it?

[bitter ember]

I just need to get in and extract in customs

[coral bison]

can someone help me do jager and help me learn a map or 2? i only know interchange and factory if they even count

[elfin elm]

if you DO run factory, make sure you do scav runs in between a couple of them so you donb't lose TOO much money

[bright rune]

Which weapon and equip for factory?

[tiny grove]

@elfin elm I can prove to you it's my first wipe, but I do have some good items.

[elfin elm]

two trains of thought, cheap as absolutely possible while using bullets that still kill somebody (so the gornostay and EKO rounds)

[elfin elm]

or the best armor you can possibly use with the strongest bolty you can use

to try to survive more bullets

[mint light]

hi

[balmy folio]

bro do not ever apologize for your voice you are fine

[tiny grove]

you havn't heard the "squeaks of death" yet

[elfin elm]

I can help after I get related settled

[mint light]

i personally did gornasty with fmj because i like the irons more than mosin and it can one tap naked people

[balmy folio]

everyone has HAD the squeaks of death

[bitter ember]

Awesome, thank you.

Just dm me when you're ready. Its got 3 hours on it

[mint light]

out of the womb i was 6'4 and had a full beard

[balmy folio]

there is one exception my b

[dapper epoch]

I might aswell stop using helmets, my helmet getting hit is the same as me dying

[mint light]

bro is discovering the meta early on

[dapper epoch]

When my helmet gets hit and that loud ass dink and my screen goes fuzzy I get disabled irl

[safe panther]

lil bit a poops sometimes

[drifting jolt]

https://www.reddit.com/r/EscapefromTarkov/comments/10l111f/car_extraction_logic_animation/

[dapper epoch]

Like yes the helmet saved my life

For like 3 sniper shots it saved my life honestly

[safe panther]

its a horror game

[spice vapor]

anybody want to run factory with me?

[dapper epoch]

But it didn’t matter because my hands were off the keyboard and I was in my gear menu at that point

I literally get paralyzed in the head irl

I can’t function after that shit lmao

[safe panther]

stunned

[mint light]

this isnt true

ur pmc needs time to put his seatbelt on

[stable island]

is it worth spending money on a tier 4 helment

[drifting jolt]

based on what you see other people wearing, what do you think?

[stable island]

i dunno

yes?

[drifting jolt]

if you can afford it, it's always worth wearing better gear

[drifting jolt]

safety first!

[past comet]

What is the best way to get the KRISS Vector Mk.5 modular rail for gunsmith part 11?

[tawny oak]

most decent helmets end up being 50k+, so treat how you run in with due diligence .

[tawny oak]

mechanic level 3, or dig around in weapon crates forever.

[astral barn]

i havent been able to kill pmcs as a scav and my scav level is down in the dumps

how do i fix this

[reef prairie]

you can get some rep for car exfils with pmc

[balmy folio]

car extract

[mortal cloud]

how do i install tarkov on ssd?

it won't let me

[tawny oak]

pmcs aint the best way, because sometimes they dont even kill any scavs, try to talk them into extracting and do all car extracts.

[elfin elm]

@tiny grove family came in and conversated, I couldn't catch what you said before you left

[astral barn]

how much do car extracts give

[past comet]

dam

[tawny oak]

Decent bit, i think the first extract gives .25

[elfin elm]

.25, and then halfes each time after

you always get at least .01 though

[astral barn]

bruh

[elfin elm]

and it's PER map

[astral barn]

oh

[tawny oak]

Best bet is to run naked, and take each car extract 3 times.

[elfin elm]

so extract on custom is'd .25

extract on streets it's .25

[astral barn]

ok

[balmy folio]

its 0.25 your first time on each map

[dapper epoch]

Is it .01 on top of your .01 for surviving as scav?

[tawny oak]

Do every maps car extract 3 times and you'll sit around 2.0 rep.

[elfin elm]

can't take car extract as a sccav

[astral barn]

yeah right now im at -0.84 so yikes

[dapper epoch]

Oh

[elfin elm]

what lvl are you?

[balmy folio]

first wipe they introduced it i got to -11

[astral barn]

5

[elfin elm]

have you gotten a shit ton done?

[tawny oak]

did you kill scavs alot or scav boss jeez?

[astral barn]

probably on accident

[dapper epoch]

How much have you done

[astral barn]

wym

[dapper epoch]

Like on your account

[elfin elm]

cus you've sorta hard handycapped yourself till you fix your rep

[astral barn]

oh ;=;

[elfin elm]

like collected a lot of stash value or something

[astral barn]

it says 3.1m

[dapper epoch]

Does fence still give the pmc redemption quests if you don’t have intelligence center?

[tawny oak]

Low scav rep is a curse to get rid of, and honestly if you havent done much its worth restarting your account depending on where your at in my opinion.

[dapper epoch]

That give +1 rep?

[elfin elm]

yes, but it's really tedious tasks for not much rep

[dapper epoch]

The redemption ones are a hard quest for +1

[elfin elm]

like kill 10 pmcs as a scav

[dapper epoch]

Ok so then you pretty much have two options

[elfin elm]

I also think it's .1

not 1

but it could be per-task rep

[dapper epoch]

Lower your scav rep more to a full -1, then do a really tedious quest to get back to even. Or, reset your account

I looked it up, it’s +1

There’s a handful of special quests that he gives ypu

[astral barn]

i havent killed a pmc at all yet ;-;

[elfin elm]

at lvl 5 you're still really early on so you do have the option to reset your account and just start from scratch without too much loss

or you could do the fence tasks and car extracts to dig you out

[balmy folio]

most people dont kill a pmc for awhile

[dapper epoch]

I would consider just restarting to be honest

[astral barn]

i spent so much time on this acc man ;-;

[balmy folio]

how much time?

[dapper epoch]

If you use your car extracts digging yourself out you can’t use it to get positive rep

[astral barn]

19 hours apparently jeez

[dapper epoch]

Reset

[severe osprey]

I think I'd reset honestly. Level 5 isn't too far and it's really detrimental to have low scav rep

[astral barn]

ok

ill reset

how do i do that

[dapper epoch]

Like only if you want to ofc

[elfin elm]

19 hours is 6 days of 4 hour play-ish

[dapper epoch]

But I really recommend it

[astral barn]

been addicted so more like 6 hours for 3 days

[balmy folio]

go to website

[dapper epoch]

Yeah you’ll get back to your progress in no time man that scav rep will be detrimental to you

[elfin elm]

either way, live and learn but most it'll set you back is like a week of play

[astral barn]

to be honest ill probably get back most of my shit pretty quick

ive learned customs decently well

[balmy folio]

you can also just live with that

[elfin elm]

yep, plus starting gear is back

[dapper epoch]

That’s what I’m saying, you have more knowledge than when you started

[astral barn]

i really like doing scavs

since no risk

[dapper epoch]

You’ll be fine

If you like scav then definitely you want your rep up

[severe osprey]

you'll be able to do them more often with better rep

[elfin elm]

assuming you keep your scav rep up, lol

[dapper epoch]

Better rep = better gear and more extracts = more fun

[astral barn]

:/

[severe osprey]

no shooty scavy

[elfin elm]

yep

live and learn boys

[severe osprey]

scavs are friends not food

[elfin elm]

also, this is a VERY common thing for new players to go through

[astral barn]

can i give someone my stuff and get it back or no

[elfin elm]

anybody that starts out without a friend to teach them winds up in this spot 7/10 times

[nimble drift]

anyone able to help with some quests only level nine

[dapper epoch]

I went through it before I was able to rest my account and had to just deal with it .-.

[elfin elm]

only guns, armor, and a few other things

[nimble drift]

just need some help with checking and whats on the flashdrive

[elfin elm]

but you get flagged for RMT if you get too crazy with it

[bitter ember]

@elfin elm Still wanna help me out with that operational task?

[astral barn]

oh its fine then ig

reset game profile right?

[elfin elm]

I've got supper but I can after

definietly gonna take less than 3 hours

[bitter ember]

Ah alright

[severe osprey]

whats the operational task?

[elfin elm]

ye

[bitter ember]

I was just checking because i was gonna go in as Scav and didn't want you to be ready while I was in a raid lol

[astral barn]

F in chat

[drowsy bronze]

Is an Alu splint just like a normal splint but with 5 uses instead?

[dapper epoch]

Yes

It’s also red and cooler

[drowsy bronze]

true

i just got the medical case as well i hope it was worth it

the more space the better i guess

[dapper epoch]

What can I do with a non fir gpu

[severe osprey]

bitcoin farm

[drowsy bronze]

any reason as to why this Vaseline is highlighted? ive never seen this before

[balmy folio]

bugged

[drowsy bronze]

oh right

[severe osprey]

you're trying to barter it for something with a vendor

it tells you what it's selecting to trade

[elfin elm]

but, if you're using meds for a barter you wanna use all but one use of it first

[balmy folio]

that too

[elfin elm]

to get max value out of the item

same with crafts

[drowsy bronze]

must've been some bug its gone now i didnt do anything

[drowsy bronze]

oh yea that makes sense ill remember that

[balmy folio]

unless its a flea market barter then it must be fir

[elfin elm]

eating atm, so should be done soon ™️

[solar finch]

should i run dorms marked key or sell it?

[drowsy bronze]

is there a reason as to why some people sell items at ridiculous prices? this guy is selling a medicine case for 6 mil

oh maybe it was an accident

[drifting jolt]

id barter/sell it personally

fighting in dorms sucks

[whole thistle]

I have no idea

[solar finch]

its like 2 mill

[drifting jolt]

most likely an RMT thing

[whole thistle]

They'd just do a weird barter if it was rmt

[balmy folio]

they just dont know

[drowsy bronze]

oh i just searched that up, is that the thing you can get banned for?

[elfin elm]

yes

[balmy folio]

wait whats rmt

[elfin elm]

real money transaction

[whole thistle]

Buying items for real money

[elfin elm]

big no no

[drowsy bronze]

its called real money trading

[balmy folio]

o ye

[elfin elm]

pay money, cheater gets you item

VERY big no no

[balmy folio]

yeah i forgot

[drowsy bronze]

oh i just sent a friend request to that guy by accident

[balmy folio]

you can cancel it

[drowsy bronze]

yea thankfully

[balmy folio]

do ppl send friend requests to shit talk after raid anymore?

[drifting jolt]

it's what little bitches do

[drifting jolt]

occasionally

[elfin elm]

all the time

[drowsy bronze]

i can imagine lol

thankfully its not happened to me yet

[elfin elm]

sometimes they friend to say "sorry man, happens to the best of us"

[whole thistle]

It's so funny when it does

[elfin elm]

and we stan those players

[whole thistle]

The best kind of post game salt is when you check their stream and theyre saying you cheated

[elfin elm]

it's fairly common for vet players to add lvl 1 or 2 guys and offer their gear back

[balmy folio]

i ask because i add ppl to tell them i dumped their stuff but they never accept

[drowsy bronze]

[elfin elm]

especially if they brought in an m4 and a bacckpack with the food and water in it still

you KNOW they're a freshy then

[severe osprey]

my favorite is when people bring the mosins or the sks with spare mags

[drowsy bronze]

bringing a pistol and an m4

[severe osprey]

spare internal mags

[elfin elm]

saw an mp153 with extra tube mags in the rig the other day on reddit

[drifting jolt]

or bringing in a m700 or sv-98 with 4 mags, like wtf?

[severe osprey]

listen i always bring tons of mags with those

[drifting jolt]

dumb

[severe osprey]

those are my scav hunting guns

[whole thistle]

That's like that one bo2 shotgun

[elfin elm]

and very specifically the super shitty scopes they give you with edition

[drifting jolt]

you need 2 mags in a bolt action

and load them between reloads

[severe osprey]

that's way too much effort

[elfin elm]

I'll do 3 or 4 if they're cheap mag cheap ammo sometimes

[drifting jolt]

it's not worth dying with 40 rounds of sniper ammo just bc you can

[elfin elm]

cus they're usually low cap

[supple panther]

dude

[elfin elm]

you're also gaining character skill everytime you load a magazine

[bright rune]

Is the gorno with eko 2 Shot ?

[supple panther]

what are u? chris fucking kyle?

[drifting jolt]

what's mine say?

[supple panther]

how much ammo do u need 🤣

just load the mags up after reload

[onyx wraith]

Which would be better for Tarkov Shooter Part 1 (Sniper Scav wise)? Customs or Shoreline?

[whole thistle]

Mag drills doesn't matter at all lol

[elfin elm]

4 mags is still only 20 bullets a lot of the time

[severe osprey]

nope, i'll bring more mags

[elfin elm]

no, but it still happens 🤷‍♂️

[elfin elm]

shoreline

longer sight lines

[whole thistle]

Quite the opposite, I need a lot of ammo because I miss every shot

[drifting jolt]

if you need that many mags with a bolt action, youre a terrible shot

[supple panther]

SV-98 mags are 10 bullets each (40 total)

M700 has 5-20 round mags (20-80 total)

[drifting jolt]

buying the 20 rounders is a waste of money

[supple panther]

and lets be real, theres no way youre running the 5 round mags

[drifting jolt]

i do...

[elfin elm]

unless lvling sniper skill

[drifting jolt]

pshh

[supple panther]

man, i love how sometimes i get a scav with a thousand mags, but sometimes ill get just 1 spare mag

[drifting jolt]

this kit usually always comes with 3 or 4 extra mags (the drum mag ak kit)

[whole thistle]

Why would you use detachable mags for that

[elfin elm]

the duality of scav runs

[supple panther]

cuz u dont lose ammo

whereas reloading a mosin drops it on the ground

[elfin elm]

archangel stock with 20 round mags still lets you top load, and then you can take the mag out without losing ammo

[balmy folio]

dude and the blackrock to reload

[supple panther]

didnt even think about that

[whole thistle]

Oh I was only thing of cycling the bolt

[supple panther]

its a nice loadout tho, only if it had a stock too

[whole thistle]

I hope the scav with a single 40 rd mag and no spares still exists

[severe osprey]

sitting out here with 3 scav rep, pm pistol bankrobber

[elfin elm]

you wind up spending mildy more time in inventory this way

but mashing R waaaay less

[supple panther]

2,71 here, i dont always get nice guns but most of the time i get some a nice bag or a keycard so i cant complain

[severe osprey]

I usually get nice gear, only seen two keycards this wipe and they went to quest

[drifting jolt]

oh he does...

[elfin elm]

I've found 4 so far

[supple panther]

what? how xd

[drifting jolt]

he blows scavs

[severe osprey]

wish i knew

[supple panther]

ive already done 4 labs raids and gave in 2 for the quest

i get them every 5 or so scavs

you must be super unlucky

[whole thistle]

Red

[drifting jolt]

in 4k hours, ive never even seen a red key card

😦

[supple panther]

1.1kh

i got insta clapped by a flying cheater

5 seconds after putting it in my gamma

was gonna barter it

i wouldve taken the GPUs ngl, put them in my miner

it is what it is

[elfin elm]

is taht enough to max the farm?

[drowsy bronze]

wait moonshine is worth that much?

[supple panther]

yes

50 is the limit

[elfin elm]

200k if I remember correctly

[supple panther]

then u can sell the remaining 2

[supple panther]

220k or so

[drowsy bronze]

i got two when i was like level 5 and sold them to therapist for like 100k

each

[supple panther]

damn

[elfin elm]

it's alright

[supple panther]

im saving all mine up

[elfin elm]

that's still solid profit

[drowsy bronze]

jesus

[supple panther]

got enough sugar to craft 52 mill worth of moonshine

ill sell all at once

xd

[elfin elm]

this'll happen a number of times as you lvl early wipe

[supple panther]

tbh money > hoarding

[elfin elm]

even when you know something has better flea value, do you want to take up the stash space and sit on it?

[supple panther]

i just want the flex of selling like a bazillion moonshines

[elfin elm]

I go both ways

there's a limit

[supple panther]

i only hoard some stuff

that i cant get back easily

lvl5-6 armor mainly

or high tier guns

[elfin elm]

guns are the things I don't save

only attachments from them get kept

[supple panther]

eh

there are some nice guns i have

but dont want to run atm

cuz i dont have high enough strength/endurance

[elfin elm]

case and point

[drifting jolt]

that's hot...

[supple panther]

whats the point if i cant even run around with it

[elfin elm]

benefits of being bi

[supple panther]

most lvl5-6 armors are 8-15kg

[elfin elm]

just $$ sitting there

[drifting jolt]

twice as many people to turn me down!

[supple panther]

ill run it eventually

[elfin elm]

can't turn you down if you don't ask 🙃

[chrome plover]

help me

[supple panther]

just kinda aids to run meta guns when ur low lvl strength and weigh 30-35kg right off the bat, cant even loot

[drowsy bronze]

is the intelligence center a good thing to aim for first? i have everything but the folder thing where can i get that?

[elfin elm]

sup?

[supple panther]

crackhouse, customs

safes

[drowsy bronze]

i heard it can make the scav cooldown shorter so i went for it

[supple panther]

filing cabinets

[drifting jolt]

just buy one on the flea market... dont waste your time looking for 100% of everything you need
