[covert bane]

and no damage done

good reason

[queen peak]

every gunsmith is 24 hours i belive

hm idk maybe its after a certain ammount

[covert bane]

yeah for some u just have to wait

[queen peak]

i hate grinding for sniper skill lvl 3

[cyan thunder]

hey i'm new to the game and don't know the maps is anyone willing to help me ?

[charred lodge]

lf duo nae im lvl 19 still learning the game

[bold kernel]

Need help with first part of delivery from the past. I keep dying before extract or have zero luck spawning with the door open

[terse wedge]

holy shit i forgot about that

guess im becoming a mosin main after work today.

[brittle canyon]

wasn’t this for the mastery leveling?

damn

finally sniper lv3 possible within this lifetime

[brisk gust]

good loadout for customs? 30 round mags filled with M856A1

[jagged mica]

is ballistics on tarkov wiki accurate? is SPP worse over SP-6 now?

[brittle canyon]

lose the fmj

bring 2 cats and lose the calok

better painkiller in rig

cheese in pocket and better medkit in rig

you will be cowitnessing the front sight with that setup

if you don’t want that swap to low profile gas block

[brisk gust]

idk where to get one

[bold kernel]

should i sell my pistols?

like the ones you get at the start

[merry needle]

how much xp do we get after killing scav as a pmc?

[novel lotus]

Anyone that’s more experienced that would be willing to run regularly and help learn the game more? I’m in east US

[tired hinge]

kek what

[dusky rover]

havent been doing gunsmith and came back to it. on gunsmith 11 it wont allow me to put the 6 inch barrel and the mk5 on the vector it says incompatible did they change something?

[edgy plover]

If you're still looking feel free to shoot me a DM :)

[edgy plover]

I don't think so, are you sure you removed the side-mounts so you can mount the mk5?

[brittle canyon]

need threaded barrel

[edgy plover]

I don't think there are any non-threaded barrels for vector, he's got the 6-inch already

[edgy plover]

Yea it lets me mount it just fine, just make sure you remove the side and bottom rails

[bold kernel]

Note to myself and all SCAV players:
If you find a fancy helm, spam F1 as much as possible. Just got killed by some other SCAV dude who thought I was a PMC, because of the helm and face cover 😄

[brittle canyon]

f1 always

[edgy plover]

Even better, put in in your bag

[brittle canyon]

when you enter a new location or hear someone always f1
if the other guy isn’t responding be ready to fight, though he might be an npc scav

[edgy plover]

Helmets are often a shorthand many new players default to distinguishing between scavs and PMC's, not having one on helps with that

[bold kernel]

Yeah, I feel sorry for the dude, he lost fence rep because I had no audio with this helm

I literally coudln't hear him until he started shooting and he was 2 meters away 😄

some big black helm with a big face cover, dunno the name

[snow jewel]

bring an afak instead of 2 medkits

then wou wouldn't need your other meds either, I'm pretty sure

[magic igloo]

so how do i use a scope that is on the side of my gun

[brittle canyon]

what scope

[magic igloo]

nvm i learned

[bold kernel]

@edgy plover I wanted to be a bit more prepared for a fight with a PMC, but I didn't really take a second to think if other SCAVs can identify me as a scav, if Im wearing that helm 😄

that helm cancels audio way too much though, dude was 2meters away from me and I couldn't hear him..

[brisk gust]

what helmet?

[bold kernel]

big black helm with a face cover, dunno the name

[brisk gust]

ah, was it lvl 2?

if it was lvl 2 it was probably the russian police riot helmet

maybe the zsh

[bold kernel]

this worth anything?

[brisk gust]

fal is worth something yeah

[edgy plover]

Like 50k

[hoary leaf]

Anyone that knows reserve down to show me reserve bunker?

[twin pine]

is there a point behind ammo packs? are they not less efficient than stacking the ammo seperate?

[hoary leaf]

Can trade with them on the flea if someone wants them especially if good ammo

[edgy plover]

Mostly it’s so you can see them if they spawn as loose loot, no reason to keep them packed unless you want to flea it

[twin pine]

right, thanks guys

[bold bay]

even on the flea i think you can only barter trade the packs, not so much "sell" on the flea

[whole thistle]

No you can list them for money

[bold kernel]

omg bro I posted the wrong screenshot for some reason...
I had Weapon Repair kit

[whole thistle]

Armor would be a little useful

[quiet lagoon]

if u r running shot guns id recommend the semi ones

[bold kernel]

but it was taking too much space so I asked if worth anything 😄

[quiet lagoon]

pump shotguns outclassed by almost everything

[brisk gust]

ill just try the loadout with some armour

[whole thistle]

Armor repair kits are cracked

[lethal heath]

Anyone got tips for tarkov shooter part 1

[whole thistle]

Use a vpo

[lethal heath]

How come

[whole thistle]

Cheaper and pen doesn't matter since it's scavs

[lethal heath]

Ah okay thanks

[bold kernel]

What does peacekeeper 4 sell

[quiet lagoon]

attachments

maybe like rsass idk

[whole thistle]

-wiki

[bold kernel]

what the fuck is this supposed to tell me

there are no names

on ammo

[quiet lagoon]

uhhhhh

[hidden oar]

Does modified machine pistols work?

Like glock or APB

[edgy plover]

Were you hoping for him to list everything out? A bit of a rude response to the answer to your question

[quiet lagoon]

lots of the good ammos are locked behind quests if I recall

[bold kernel]

This answer tells me nothing so it wasnt the answer to my question

[lethal heath]

Hahaha

Just look it up if you’re gonna be such a baby

[edgy plover]

Your question was literally "What does peacekeeper 4 sell"
And he showed you everything.
Were you hoping for him to write down the name of every item?

[quiet lagoon]

it actually tells you a lot if you aren't stupid and know how to look at things

[frail comet]

It literally shows u are u slow

[lethal heath]

That is a pretty clear photo of just about everything he sells

[bold kernel]

I always check the wiki first before I ask a question, but because the wiki is lazily done, I cant get my answer from there so i decided to ask here to get referenced back to wiki GGs

[frail comet]

the wiki shows that picture

[quiet lagoon]

bro asked a question, was rude to the person who answered and is trying to play victim

[edgy plover]

classic

[bold kernel]

I was expecting a general one like, couple ammo types, good attachments etc pepsi man was on the right track

[bold kernel]

How was I rude? by saying fuck? grow up

[quiet lagoon]

m855a1, m62, m80, m62 (300 blk), some ap 5.7 round is the ammos

[lethal heath]

Ngl this is rude lmao

[bold kernel]

Thank you

[lethal heath]

Idk what world your living in but saying that after he went out of his way to share the photo

Isn’t exactly nice

[edgy plover]

Next time, try to ask the question you want answered

[bold kernel]

by asking a general question, you can get more than what you wanted

u guys are something else

[ruby adder]

I mean, you asked "general" question so you got a general response & Shouldn't be getting mad at that

If you want specifics, ask specifics!

[edgy plover]

^

[bold kernel]

okay i will write detailed questions next time

[humble otter]

Wiki lazy?… what?

[ruby adder]

(The wiki is your friend btw get to know it)

[edgy plover]

Or just don't be so rude when someone answers your question, like, "Oh thanks, what are those ammo's, I can't tell?"
That would have been fine

[quiet lagoon]

you know what guys

i think we should chill we dogpilied on him for a while

[ruby adder]

Man dissed the wiki, someone summon the wiki admins. That'll be something fun to watch

[bold kernel]

the wiki is why im mad, because they are too lazy to individually to list the items they sell instead of taking a simple screenshot, new players dont know how each ammo type looks so the wiki picture is super unhelpful

[quiet lagoon]

lets just chill and go back to helping people

[edgy plover]

Dude it's not like they're paid for it... why don't you go list every item? It's volunteer. Calling them lazy is pretty ungrateful

[bold kernel]

i dont care its not personal for me

[humble otter]

They’re not lazy, the ammo stats are changed every wipe and these people take hours of their day updating everything

[ruby adder]

If you're at the point of looking for PK4. You should know atleast roughly what is what.. & They do their work for free

[edgy plover]

Muhawi is going to make short work of this poor guy

[ruby adder]

I don't wanna be the one to bring this guys early retirement

[humble otter]

People haven’t submitted pictures for the wiki discord yet. And btw… it’s far more important things to do on the wiki atm then AMMO PICTURES

[bold kernel]

I can list every item myself If i could, why is there so few updating it then?

It would be a lot more helpful for new players

[humble otter]

They’re understaffed

[edgy plover]

How many people do you know that want to painstakingly assemble a wiki, unpaid, on a game that changes constantly? There's not many people volunteering for that, go help if you want to see it improved

[ruby adder]

The work they done bringing it up with the latest patch is fantastic tbh, it's impressive asf

[humble otter]

And we just had a HUGE patch, including quest changes, lightkeeper, new quests, new items, barter trades, crafts, new map, and so on… just try and set yourself in their shoes instead of calling them lazy cuz they’re f****** not. Have some respect for em

[bold kernel]

For a game of this size i would expect a lot more or are tarkov players just that careless, im just used to other games wikis being good

[lethal heath]

I’m gonna go and email the fandom

[fathom dirge]

where do i get a ishrka ration...?

[lethal heath]

Gigacat is NOT impressed

[ruby adder]

Best place is on interchange, all the black weapon boxes are a 100% spawn

[fathom dirge]

not anymore..

[ruby adder]

since when!?

[lethal heath]

Did they patch that

[hollow minnow]

tarkovs wiki is pretty good

[lethal heath]

That’s how I complete that quest every time lol

[bold kernel]

Is there a budget build for this, that makes it feel as good as AK74N or better?

[ruby adder]

If that isn't the case anymore, ignore what I said

[hollow minnow]

they changed it

[fathom dirge]

i'm scaving green/black boxes since 3 days and i still need 1 ishkra ration. Didnt find anything since they changed it.

[lethal heath]

That is such a shame

[ruby adder]

Then as a backup more guaranteed do you have nutrition 1?

[fathom dirge]

missing one part for that

[ruby adder]

damn

[hollow minnow]

you'd have to spend a decent amount/have leveled traders to make full auto bearable so no

unless you're just gonna single fire it

[bold kernel]

Im applying right now, not very privileged sounding then am i?

[frigid finch]

lol just killed a sherpa and his 3 little sheep....almost felt bad

[kindred grotto]

Can you still craft virtexes?

[humble otter]

The wiki isn’t finished. It never will. But please! Go by their discord if you want to tell them something, I’ll bring the popcorn

[edgy plover]

[fathom dirge]

any idea where to get 60 round mags?

[edgy plover]

For?

[fathom dirge]

gunsmith, 545

[frigid finch]

for gunsmith? there is a barter

[fathom dirge]

jo?

[edgy plover]

Not until you do Ice cream cones

[fathom dirge]

thx

[humble otter]

It’s quest locked

Craft them lavatory lvl 2

[bold kernel]

im sure they are glad to accept someone to help to make it better!

[humble otter]

In hideout

[frigid finch]

you can also just buy it on flea

[edgy plover]

Zb-014 on woods, but most craft them in lav2

Oh yea, for gunsmith just buy on flea

[fathom dirge]

ok i will push to 15 then

[edgy plover]

But when you need 3 found in raid, crafting is the way

[fathom dirge]

currently 10

[humble otter]

Oh 100%, but if you complain you’re banned from there

Choose your words wisely

[fathom dirge]

i feel like they nerfed the spawn rates of 545 60 round mags, ishrka and flash drives way to hard

[bold bay]

just gotta know where to look

[brisk gust]

okay turns out the raid ended pretty well, I finished that water quest and I got 2 scav kills. I have to admit, I was quite the rat camping the door with an express loaded shotgun just waiting but eh, its the game

[fathom dirge]

yeah i'm looking there were i checked it since 5 years, thx ^^

[edgy plover]

Iskra's have a lot of 100% set spawns on interchange, flashdrives are in safes all the time - filing cabinets as well, but the 60 rounders have always been a real pain

[trim steeple]

They’re loads of spawns on shoreline

[humble otter]

Whatever it takes to extract

[fathom dirge]

iskra's is nerfed to death on interchange now. Flashdrives not one in filing cabinets in 20+ reserve raids on scav. Usually that worked out pretty fast.

[trim steeple]

Like 9 safes

[edgy plover]

No, there's still the same 100% spawns on Interchange for Iskras

[trim steeple]

Half a dozen rooms w mag spawns

[edgy plover]

There's like 12

[fathom dirge]

can you tell me some of them?

[bold bay]

after 5 years thought you knew everything?

[trim steeple]

328,316,313,216,218,206

[frigid finch]

wtf do i buy with euros?

[fathom dirge]

did not say that

[ruby adder]

I personally have never had any luck with safes, i've always got them from filing cabs

[brisk gust]

mechanic sells some equipment and skier aswell

[humble otter]

You need it for mentor quest

And hideout I think

[fathom dirge]

maybe safes are the way to go now, filing cabinets are not working good currently

[ruby adder]

Euros are for task, stash upgrade and something else in the hideout

[frigid finch]

i have 8k right now lol

[ruby adder]

I never said I reliably found them, took me wayyy too long to find the flash drives

[fathom dirge]

thx, will have a look

[edgy plover]

They're in the square weapon crates, these are a few I remember

[ruby adder]

A few days when I got jaegers flash drive task though

[fathom dirge]

@ruby adder scav reserve -> filing cabinets -> easy

[ruby adder]

Exactly what I done

• Filing cabs on PMC because why waste time

[fathom dirge]

i'm doing this also since 7 days and no luck so far, seems like that they nerfed this.

[humble otter]

They’re really nerfed the spawns for them though… just saying. The iskra

If they even still spawn in them

[edgy plover]

I never see them in filing cabinets, but I constantly get them in safes. Good 'ole tarkov

[frigid finch]

lol i got all level 3 traders before i got 3 flash drives this wipe, it was insane

[humble otter]

Found 2 in one safe on pier earlier this wipe, flash drives

In general I think I’ve found like 10 in safes

[brisk gust]

Yep, waiting at the door for 1 measly pmc kill with no loot always makes me happy

Rat life

[humble otter]

When you get used to the game you should try and 3rd party other pvp fights. Just to get used to pvp. you have quite the advantage

[fathom dirge]

Phase control relay, any idea here? i usually did find them quite often.

[humble otter]

I’ve gotten one of streets. I know fairly spawn on reserve

[fathom dirge]

i'll check this.

[dapper epoch]

is this good

[obtuse lake]

What's the best overall 5.56 gun?

[fathom dirge]

m4?

[grand magnet]

Anyone want to play with a NYC guy

Who is completely new to the game

And doesn’t know a damn thing about raids

[unique merlin]

that and an mdr I'd think

[fathom dirge]

it depends. The m4 is way better when you mod it out.

[unique merlin]

true

[fathom dirge]

the dt mdr ist pretty nice also, you only need a forgrip

[unique merlin]

exactly

[fathom dirge]

the g36 and aug is also good now

[unique merlin]

for the price, you can have a decent mdr or a half modded m4

not a bad m4, but not as good as it can be

[fathom dirge]

yes

[unique merlin]

deploying facto, I'll lyk how it goes lmfaop

I died lmfao

[stone umbra]

second wipe lf duo down for anything hmu!!!

[bright grail]

Best gun for LL1 traders and no flea?

[obtuse lake]

What about for level 2 traders?

Is the m4 still okay

[fathom dirge]

if you are somewhere lvl 20, i would stay with the dt mdr

a slightly modded m4 is also ok

[obtuse lake]

I can get stuff from flea if it's not like 300k

[hardy fox]

M4, hk depends on how you mod them

[fathom dirge]

keep in mind that the dt mdr is really also nice in cqc because it's very short.

[fathom ocean]

sks

[obtuse lake]

Lvl 21 yeah but I have 4m so I can buy shit without any issues tbh

[obtuse lake]

Okay I'll see what I can do for the m4

[hardy fox]

Sks kedr

[fathom dirge]

sks or vepr with 30 round mags (vepr is better, if you got the mags)

[bright grail]

Whats better 6.5mm buckshot or 7mm buchshot??

[obtuse lake]

And also the mdr

[bright grail]

Ima give them a go ty

[obtuse lake]

If the m4 sucks I'll just try the mdr

[hardy fox]

Mag, flechette or 5.5

[obtuse lake]

https://eft.monster/

check the ammo chart out

Really, really useful

[lethal sedge]

im having a very hard time completing the Checking task right now, because every single time i try to do it I just die. Is anyone able to either help me with it or give me some tips

[bright grail]

I cant get any of them

[obtuse lake]

Running a gun other than shotgun is the better choice then

You'll probably just die if you run a shotgun with shit ammo

more than probably

[shrewd hound]

what are the best maps to run that are not sniper heavy

[fathom dirge]

night time

[bold kernel]

I'm having trouble understanding something.
After I was done with a SCAV run, I used to have like 10 minutes until the next.
I created Intelligence Center which says -15% scav cooldown and now I wait 20 minutes? huh?

[lethal sedge]

alright ill try that thanks

[fathom dirge]

cannot be the case @bold kernel

ah

maybe

the intelligence center rested the cooldown?

[bold kernel]

nono, I built it yesterday

the days before that I dont remember having to wait 20 min

is it because I've been playing only scav runs whole day?

[fathom dirge]

no you have a bad mind probably

the default cooldown

is 25mins

your scav karma

reduces the scav timer als well

and intelligence center.

with int center you get up to -35%

[bold kernel]

I'm at 0.65, as im just lvl 15

[fathom dirge]

i don't know how much scav karma reduces the cooldown

[bold kernel]

I see, I just dont remember correctly then, thx dude

[fathom dirge]

i'm also around that and its about 25min

[bold kernel]

I got another question - How exactly does matchmaking work in Tarkov?
Like, when I play PMC on Customs, how many other PMCs are there and how many scavs and scav players?
And also does my gear matter in terms of what players will be matched against me? Like If I go in pistol only, will I see other low-budget players too?

[edgy plover]

Each map has it's own PMC count, you can check on the wiki.
Hard to know the exact number of scavs and player scavs at any given time, maps vary on that.
There is NO skill/gear based matchmaking at all though, you are thrown in randomly. 5-man's can play against solos, geared up chads against naked timmys.

[bold kernel]

Are there resources for build guides under level 11? I'm trying to find compatible red dots for ak47.

[edgy plover]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Wy90-dGIL0
This looks like it might have some useful stuff for you

[twin pine]

just extracted terragroup labs access keycard with scav - is this worth holding onto or selling to npc for 63k?

i havent unlocked flea market yet

[woeful spruce]

you cant sell it on flea anyway

[edgy plover]

Those cannot be sold on flea, so keep if you want to try labs, sell otherwise

[twin pine]

what value do i get from bringing into labs?

[edgy plover]

Potentially the loot you get out of labs

[twin pine]

does it give access to a lot of areas?

[edgy plover]

No, that's just entry to labs itself

It's burned upon use

[twin pine]

oh

thanks

[dapper epoch]

Can you get trader rep any other way than quyests

Only 7 more to go

You had all week to do this my brother

Why are you starting now 😭

And why don't I get weeklys giving me fucking cases

[frail comet]

Can you find SICCs in raid?

I know u can find injector and dog tag cases do they have the same spawns as siccs

[scarlet raven]

Labs card is a consumable that lets you play the lab map. The map has lots of really high tier loot, but its usually full of high level players with good gear, and ai raiders spawn all over the place and will fuck you up badly if you dont know how to deal with them

If you’re kinda new to the game/that sounds intimidating, I’d probably just sell it and take the 63k, it’s guaranteed money whereas youre fairly likely to die on labs if you are new. But if you wanna just try it for fun you could watch some videos and give it a go, just go into it to have fun, expect the worst, hope for the best.

[bright grail]

Anyone else having the bug where you pay for the heal after you die in a raid then when you go to your stash you're still not fully healed?

[twilit wolf]

ur level 15 with 187 raids???

[scarlet raven]

[twilit wolf]

tbf tho this is technically my first wipe, i played in 2020 but i never had done quests sooo idk what quests to do and how but ive been working on them this wipe

wanna gather up some money before i do that

[brisk drift]

which trader shold i chose in chemical part 4 ?

[mint light]

if u have eod get therapist

[brisk drift]

i have standart edition

[merry panther]

After 45 hours of beginning raids I got my first pmc kill

[lethal zealot]

Not a beginner but can anyone help me later today get into hotel 206? Need for quest and can help you with something in return.

[dawn geyser]

#pvp-lfg is probably better for that

[shrewd hound]

Should i start buying armor?

[lethal zealot]

Oops. I figured that was just lfg for running raids unrelated.

[shrewd hound]

Im starting to get some levels

[dawn geyser]

I personally almost always run armor

Even paca

I dislike getting one pumped by shotguns

lol

[lethal zealot]

Lvl 4 armour is VERY beneficial. Even level 3 if thats all you have.

[shrewd hound]

whats a good armor at ll1

[lethal zealot]

at 1?

[shrewd hound]

yea

[lethal zealot]

not sure what ll1 is, what level are you and what level do you have ragman at?

[shrewd hound]

1

[lethal zealot]

Well even the Uley 6B5-16 is okay for beginner. but its only level 3.

[brittle canyon]

loyalty level 1

[lethal zealot]

Ah. Sorry. Missed that reference.

[fresh vale]

it's fairly common for scavs to run around with this weapon right?

[brittle canyon]

sure

you need em fir for a weekly or something

[undone flower]

Loyalty Level 1.

Ll = Loyalty Level

[fresh vale]

if you mean me, nah it's punisher p3

[brittle canyon]

yea but you don’t need to find the krinkovs fir

in fact prapor 1 straight up sells 74ub which has the best soft stats

[fresh vale]

ait cool

[brittle canyon]

and you can just use the muzzle it comes with

and mod the rest

[hasty dove]

If anyone needs help let me kno I have a server and would help anyone

[fathom dirge]

i'm a godsend. I dropped two gas analyser on reserve to a fellow scav and reiceived my last ishkra ration.

[hasty dove]

Also I’m live on twitch

[fathom dirge]

10/10 scav raid.

[undone flower]

What level are you?

[hasty dove]

25 but my map knowledge is very good

I’ve also been gone for 2 months doing military stuff

[plush stump]

Could someone with San Tape Key and Cottage Back Door Key give me a hand on shoreline quickly

Im lvl 25

[humble cave]

They can't be helped. Thank you and the other people in the convo for being sane.

[stiff citrus]

gets one pumped in the face instead

[twilit wolf]

one pump chumps smh

[plush stump]

Could someone with San Tape Key, Cottage Back Door Key, and West Wing 216 Key give me a hand on shoreline quickly
Im lvl 25

[buoyant zenith]

where can i find the hand drill

[thick cape]

probably interchange

or any sort of tech place

[unique merlin]

Can find them on the kitchen table in chekennya

streets

[buoyant zenith]

man i’m new af idk where that is

ohh okay well i don’t wanna go there

i’ll search around in interchange

[unique merlin]

Hole in the wall, far back building, right on the table

[mint light]

hi

[buoyant zenith]

okay thanks

[unique merlin]

I got the game wipe day, streets is damn near all I play

[buoyant zenith]

any tips on getting over gear fear?

[unique merlin]

Streets.

[strange osprey]

this really sold out within a minute

[frail comet]

I always find them here on the shelves by locker on first floor

[urban wolf]

anyone with level 40 can help me?

[buoyant zenith]

is that customs?

[frail comet]

Yea

[buoyant zenith]

okay thanks

You'll learn very quickly on streets, that if you don't bring adequate gear, you're putting yourself at a massive disadvantage. Better gear = better fights. But don't bring gear you don't know how to use. Do what you can, with a budget, and work from there till you're confident to be a big spender on gun parts, knowing what you want, etc.

[strange osprey]

I've never managed to extract from streets, not coming back there for a while lol

[unique merlin]

Stop spamming and go to LFG, holy

[unique merlin]

Bring a map

[plush stump]

kk

[hushed tusk]

where can you find most eyewear without killing scavs

[urban wolf]

this is beginners assistance wow

[unique merlin]

I'm a beginner too lmao, just tryna help where I can

Maps are on the wili, 3d maps, 2d maps, etc

wiki*

I learned it by fuckin around and finding out. Doesn't have to be streets either, that's just about the only place I can give advice on.

[gilded glen]

does EFT run on Linux?

[mint light]

there is a group about it

in #❌〡community-servers

[gilded glen]

nice

[ocean brook]

does anyone have RB-OB, dorms marked room or streets marked room?

[mint light]

they make eft playable on linux or something

[twilit wolf]

MK47 vs AKM?

[fresh vale]

huh, I thought you had to survive in the Scout mission, I died after finding 3 of the extractions , still had all 3 progressed when I loaded back into Factory

[sleek pollen]

MK47 is better in pretty much all areas except price

[low minnow]

Anyone help with operation aquarius?

[soft timber]

what's the best way to practice movement? just time played? this is my first wipe and im only level 22, but it seems like everyone just has a lot better movement than me when jiggle peaking, etc

[unique merlin]

drop your bag in pvp, inertia is a thing in this game and the less weight you have in a fight, the better/faster you'll peak, move around, etc

[fervent turret]

run around trying stuff in offline too

[unique merlin]

Also, right hand peaks. m

[fresh vale]

this is the way

[fervent turret]

more stats & stims, the better ya movement as well

[unique merlin]

Practice stupid parkour to get a feel for what you can and can't do

[fervent turret]

[unique merlin]

And I mean be stupid with it, even if you think you can't, try it

the more you learn the better

[fresh vale]

I strive to become Willerz 2.0 movementwise

[unique merlin]

I've always been god tier with movement, I've always been shit tier with PVP

[fresh vale]

mf stupid good at parkour , it's not even funny how good he is

[unique merlin]

Never matters the game

[soft timber]

yea like i come from a competitive background with games and i figured that the only thing I really could do was play more but I figured I'd ask if there were any "tricks" people have since i saw the game didn't have inertia before a couple wipes ago

[unique merlin]

Dropping bags is a big one, other than that go to practive and explore, take the time to look around at what ways you could utilize the map in ways the game didn't intend. That's how you get the best vantage points.

Just always fuck with everything you can while moving

In close quarters, a good way to sneak around is to crouch and lower your speed all the way, nearly unhearable (nearly) and sound was fixed with walking/crouching so

Lots and lots to take in

The heavier the bag, the louder the steps

[soft timber]

ok gotcha thanks so much!! i started dropping my bag when i got in fights like a week ago i just need to get more consistent with it and actually remembering where i dropped it 🤣

[unique merlin]

I don't even try to hide it, when I have enough loot, and a fight is about to break out, bye bye

[soft timber]

i also heard good things about the audio and the sound effects are great and all but it's so hard to tell where people are coming from, is that just me? i turned binaural audio or whatever it's called off

[unique merlin]

Then again I'm one to make a fight push inside, I'm way more comfortable close quarters.

[fresh ginkgo]

what do i do with a gpu, do i wait till i get the flee market or sell it to a trader

[unique merlin]

Turn it back on, it was fixed to a certain point, but it needs more work. It's better than base too.

A really good thing to note is what sounds you make walking in specific rooms, certain types of material such as wood, metal, etc. and learn where those are in relevance to where you're at.

I push Chekannya all the time so I know the audio cues for that building, but the more you know the better it will go.

[elfin pendant]

how did this guy get up here?

[unique merlin]

Depending on your level, just sell it. If you're lvl 13 or 14 or something then save it

[unique merlin]

Spider-man

[fresh ginkgo]

nah im only 6

[unique merlin]

Just sell it, east 126k

[fresh ginkgo]

oki thanks

[unique merlin]

to therapist

[soft timber]

Okay gotcha, will do. When I had it on it sounded like my teammates were inside my ears the whole raid. Could be because I dont run any other headset besides m32's but it was super trippy

[unique merlin]

You're lvl 22 right?

[soft timber]

Ye

[unique merlin]

Hit the flea market and try out all the headphones to see which ones you like best. Every single ne sounds different.

The only one that's subjectively better than any of them are the comtac 4's, but they're hella expensive. Otherwise it's completely down to personal preference.

[soft timber]

Yea I'm a fan of the m32's and comtac 4's, sometimes razor when it's raining

[unique merlin]

Some will boost bass for footsteps, some help with ambient noise, etc

Exel are great for rain

Or however it's spelt

[soft timber]

Hmmm okay I'll have to try them

thank you so much once again!!

[unique merlin]

All good

I'm a beginner too but I like to give out whatever information I can to help whoever else

[soft timber]

You know a lot more than me that's for sure lol

map knowledge is the death of me

[wintry estuary]

should i sell my GPUs or wait? Its around 300k now, is there a chance for it to be more expensive over time?

I'm down to Zero and my last 2 scav runs have been a total failure, any tips on where should i loot where its relatively safe?

[unique merlin]

If you wanna run with me I'm down for a duo. I'm low too and not the best but it hasn't been terrible.

[fluid ledge]

for fast scav escape/easy loot kits, doin factory isnt bad far as I kno

10 mins your out no gettin lost

but ive very new, works for me

[digital sable]

I just scav Customs at night and hit stashes. Usually pretty safe and quick easy money.

Survive 1 scav and you’re good for a bit. For a cheap PMC kit run a double barrel shotgun, GSSH headset, and a bank robber rig to kill a scav and take their kit.

[lapis goblet]

ty but i like to do it at my own pace, if you know a good loot run, sure you can show me

[unique merlin]

Streets

[mint light]

most loot runs are good, i just make my own. do whatever ur comfortable with

[idle rapids]

can someone help me out? i need help with pathing when it comes to solo loot runs on interchange. i have 120(purely interchange) raids this wipe and just reached lv 15, sold all my stuff and have 10m in roubles. however i truly dont believe im doing the max in terms of efficiency when it comes to pathing (i die 60% of the time on spawn when rushing along with other pmcs if there are any in the area ) therefore i die alot or meet other players on the way to extract and die stupidly. for context i have a 2.6 pmc kd, 120raids total this wipe all on interchange, surv rate of 46%, and i usually rock 5.45ak ps rounds and kedr PPE rounds. ive had a pretty bad pvp experience from lv 14-15 hence if i get a far spawn i do not contest at all and loot the outer areas outside of the mall. and this has really affected my confidence going inside the mall (slow crouch walking, staying in raid till 10mins left etc which ive never done before previous wipes) any help would be appreciated 😦

sorry for the essay

[broken kite]

well os this a matter of you want to learnt pvp better or your want to steer away from them?

@idle rapids

[idle rapids]

definitely learning pvp

[broken kite]

i would bring a decent kit on to factory tbh, interchange has many similarities in some of the areas to factory

also, what kit are@you generally bringing to interchange

[idle rapids]

gssh, balaclava, lv 2/3 armor, backpack the normal stuff and healings

[frail comet]

Where do u get red flares? The wiki doesn’t say anything

[whole thistle]

You'll be able to buy 5.45 pp in one level which will help a lot lol

[unique plover]

you should try to bring level 4 minimum. the ceramic ones from ragman

[whole thistle]

Mostly pscav spawn backpack loot

[unique plover]

idk what level you are though. you might not be able to get them yet

most ammo that people are running now with pen class 3 100%

[whole thistle]

Also if you die that much going in I think that's also a big problem for you

[fluid ledge]

is it rude to watch a live stream in this discord chat to learn ? bein queit and not intrrupting ?

[mint dawn]

lfg shoreline quests, dont know the map very well

[marble grove]

yo, so I got some mediocerly decent tier 4 armor and helmets, and I am wondering if I should be selling them this early on or keeping them (I am level 8)? Quite frankly it seems like if I use them, I still will die as I am not skilled enough. (stuff like trooper armor)

[stuck igloo]

Anyone have some toothpaste they can give me? been trying to find some for a while

[quiet mauve]

i think everyone is going to have a different take on it but imo if the armor isnt overly heavy keep it and use it. i feel like helmets are a lifesaver but RARELY so i would sell or keep it for a raid where you know youre going to end up in pvp. trooper is 100% a keep if it still has durability/is worth repairing

[quiet mauve]

appreciated

[hardy fox]

Use them saves your life

[marble grove]

Yeah but am kinda suck

plus me poor

[azure cliff]

whats the easiest way to get labs card

[hardy fox]

Still keep and use only cost about 50k for Teir 4 armour and helmet on flea

[marble grove]

What usage would you say I would need such high tier armor? (doing tasks or looting a specific location?)

that way I don't carry it around for no reason

[hardy fox]

Just use in general imo

[marble grove]

e.

[hardy fox]

Always needed in case you get jumped by a scav or pmc

[marble grove]

ok

am just afraid to lose it

[flat portal]

spawn with them 😄 or in filecabinets

[marble grove]

but I feel like I should start getting over the fear of losing shit that is considered even remotely good lol.

[hardy fox]

When you hit 15 you can buy the armour back

[marble grove]

good point.

[hardy fox]

Saves you more times then you know

Can anyone identify what armor this guy is wearing?

I had BP/PP 5.45x39 and got the following. Does that mean he is in Tier 5/6 armor?

[terse wedge]

4+

[pure mist]

No

Probably 5

But could be 4

Pp really weak

Even bp not that great

[crude veldt]

This isn't good?

[pure mist]

Not as good as you’d like

[crude veldt]

BP is literally the highest priced ammo you can buy

[frail comet]

In the tarcone directors office task if I die before I can plant that in factory do I have to get it from customs again?

[crude veldt]

Everything else is non-flea

[pure mist]

No

[crude veldt]

Yes

It is

[pure mist]

You could buy bt with traders

After punisher 4

[crude veldt]

Yeah I don't have that

so it is the highest priced ammo i can buy

[pure mist]

Yes

But why does it matter if it’s the highest price ammo you can buy

[crude veldt]

Because you said BP is not that great

so what is my alternative?

[pure mist]

Why do you think I assume there is one

It’s not that great period

[crude veldt]

I understand

[fresh vale]

Wtf? I just lost my arm and then died, heard nothing, no shots or anything, appearently a shotgun

On streets, there was a dead guy in the same spot i died at too

[crude veldt]

Any better idea on the armor?

im assuming armored rig

[terse wedge]

maybe

[jaunty lantern]

need help tasking

[daring pewter]

i need some people who can help me make money and do quests Im level 16, my first wipe but im pretty good at pvp and things like that. VC IS REQUIRED be 15+(NA)

The pen is decent on 5.45 BP and BT, sure, but the flesh damage is so low that it's gonna take a million hits even if you are penning

[crude veldt]

thats a helpful point

So what is the balance then? If I go high DMG then I don't pen

[gritty pendant]

Click the head

[terse wedge]

aim for the head

[pure mist]

The ammo type itself is not strong

[ionic harness]

WHERE CAN I GET 60 ROUND MAGS FOR GUNSMITH PART 7

[pure mist]

I’d use 762 ps over it honestly

[gritty pendant]

5.45 is the weakest AR caliber for shooting center mass

[terse wedge]

pk 3 barter

[ionic harness]

from who?

[pure mist]

Pk is peacekeeper

[crude veldt]

What would you say is strong?

[ionic harness]

what lvl,

[pure mist]

In this game bigger calibers pretty much never fails or gets nerfed, so 762x39 and 308

But you can’t get m80 so forget about 308

SMG is pretty strong if you have access to mp7 30 rounders

[gritty pendant]

They buffed the 308 bcw fmj so it's Def usable now

[pure mist]

I was not aware of that

Good to know

[gritty pendant]

Yup it has 88 flesh and 36 pen now

[gritty pendant]

Are you level 20 yet?

[pure mist]

300 blackout is not bad if you can get m62 or higher

[crude veldt]

Yes

[gritty pendant]

Craft m8556a1 in your hideout.

Buy 7.62x51 BCW FMJ from Jaeger and Skiier

[crude veldt]

If I had to bring out a 545x39, is the decision basically high pen and bring a scope in to aim for head versus high dmg spray at the arms/legs?

[pure mist]

Honestly you got unlucky with that one, if you could use bp on thorax with good aim

It’s fine

That one you probably shot some chest and some legs or arms

[crude veldt]

I've actually managed to collect a decent amount of this. But in my case I had a different caliber gun. What would you recommend with 545x39?

[gritty pendant]

If you have to bring out 5.45 just know it is a weaker caliber and you might lose some fights you'd otherwise win. BP/BT are both gonna get the job done most of the time

[crude veldt]

If I hit legs/arms, then I won't get the 'absorbed by armor' right?

[pure mist]

No

Unless they have arm armored armor

Which is rare

[gritty pendant]

You'll have to deal a lot more damage though

[crude veldt]

If I BP/BT though, I need to go for headshots yes?

[crude veldt]

So I had 181 dmg absorbed by armor, and almost equal damage to the body

[gritty pendant]

I mean ideally you should always go for headshots in this game. 5.45 just punishes you worse for not hitting headshots because it'll take more shots to black the thorax

If you go for legs with 5.45 you'll be at it all day

[pure mist]

Looking at the dmg most likely you hit several chest and several arms shots

[pure mist]

Thorax is fine if The aim is good imo

[crude veldt]

Right, because it would have to spread to other parts before blacking thorax right?

[topaz sigil]

was that not a face shot?

[crude veldt]

So I think he must have been in T5 armor then. That would be fully understandable

[pure mist]

I think you could also get bad rng sometimes

[gritty pendant]

This plus the low flesh damage of the caliber, yeah. If you shooting something that does 90+ flesh per shot you can kill in a few leg shots

[terse wedge]

looks like helmet ricochets and then you shoot the pole a couple times

[pure mist]

Ks still strong

[acoustic nest]

anyone want to help me with the pharmacist quest

[crude veldt]

The thing is everything I run into another player, they're hip firing into me and I'm down in 2 shots with T4 armor, typically thoraxed.

[acoustic nest]

i dont have the key

[pure mist]

One shot I was my left with 30 hp

[crude veldt]

Looking back at this, isn't this nearly identical to BP bullets? It's identical pen but only 9 dmg more per shot?

[gritty pendant]

9 damage per shot adds up pretty quick. Plus it has a high fragmentation chance which is +50% damage

So the overall DPS is like 15 pts higher or something

[crude veldt]

33% frag versus 16% looks like

frag means the bullet splits and hits an adjacent limb?

[remote kettle]

BP also has significantly higher armor dmg, so shreds armors

[remote kettle]

nah just deals an extra 50% damage if a shot fragments

[crude veldt]

Where can I see this? I use eft-ammo.com but I dont see armor dmg there

[gritty pendant]

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

[crude veldt]

How does this translate to real life? The bullet like breaks apart inside flesh?

[remote kettle]

wiki page, https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Ballistics

[remote kettle]

yes

[obsidian atlas]

can i like dm someone my quests rn i kinda dont know what to focus on anymore kinda stuck it feels like, not a beginner but kinda could use some help

[crude veldt]

What was this in comparison to? I see BP gs having 41 armor dmg versus M856A1 having 52

Did you maybe mean the reverse?

[remote kettle]

focus on another goal and use the quests as tools instead. like if you need to level up, high XP quick tasks (mark, collect etc)

[remote kettle]

i thought you were comparing BP and 55a1?

[dreamy imp]

just focus whichever you need the rep with most.... at least thats what I do until I max traders then I stop questing lol

[crude veldt]

Someone told me to make m8556a1

[remote kettle]

also BP is 63%

[crude veldt]

So comparing BP and that one

Oops, we were talking about BP in 5.56 caliber

I think you came in at tail end so probably didnt catch that

[remote kettle]

there is no 556 BP...

[obsidian atlas]

i dont need rep for anyone i literally just need xp and like all my quests are behind keys, lighthouse or find shit

[gritty pendant]

5.45 BP

[crude veldt]

545*

[remote kettle]

in that case yes

[gritty pendant]

Welcome to the mid game

[cyan vector]

@crude veldt try the phone app called battle buddy it has some good insight about

[remote kettle]

545 bp and 56a1 are very close

Thanks I had grabbed this I'll have to check it out now

[dreamy imp]

guess its up to you then, whichever is easier would probably be how I would do it

[rare sand]

anyone with keys able to help me and a friend with custom tasks?

[jade hamlet]

thanks a bunch man

[storm forge]

anyone willing to show me around the woods map? thats my least played map and i cant seem to get around first full whip and im stuck because i cant do any jaeger task

[reef prairie]

have you checked the ram frequency. someone had low fps a while ago, turned out his ram was running at 1600

although i dont think it can impact the performance by that much

[dusty narwhal]

still looking for hotel room 206

can help you with a task in return

just @ me

[wintry estuary]

is it worth to save money for red rebel just for reserve extract?

[dreamy imp]

if you like to run reserve it is, I love reserve so I always get it

[wintry estuary]

i just want to run reserve at all but other extracts are scary for me as a new player

i kinda like it

[mint light]

u can for sure just use other extracts

but if ur like petrified its useful

[jade hamlet]

i get lost arund scav town i keep going in circles

need to know where to get to vehicle extract

[mint light]

literally just the end of the road

[mint light]

big car

[wintry estuary]

at the end of the road, just go main road in the river direction

[dreamy imp]

up to you, the other extracts arent too bad but I prefer to use the red rebel extract.... easier imo and less angles for people to get you at it

[jade hamlet]

so do you have to go through the scav town

[wintry estuary]

hermetic bunker scary because i dont know the map so finding switch and then extract is imposible

and D2 scary because some switches and campers

or maybe D2 campers are like big foot?

[mint light]

if u clear the lobby d2 will be empty

it is for sure camped a lot

[dreamy imp]

ya I never use that extract unless someone else hits the button and im already somewhat near it... D2 isnt bad but can be camped sometimes but I rarely use it as I get red rebel pretty quick

[wintry estuary]

yeah sure clear the lobby, if i get 2 pmcs kill in one day i celebrate and open champagne

[mint light]

lol

hermetic is usually pretty chill

[wintry estuary]

its gets better tho, 2 weeks ago i wasnt able to kill anyone and now i can at least defend myself 😛

[vital oasis]

went to all the colleagues 1 locations and they didnt give the sound in raid

and i didnt complete the quest?

why

[wintry estuary]

one more question about reserve, i have task "pest control" to kill scavs around white pawn area, is this area very contested?

[dreamy imp]

lol enjoy the "newness" of the game while you can, I legit cant even find the motivation to play these days.... I dont want to do the tasks for the 6th-7th time so I havent really played in a few wipes

[dreamy imp]

early raid it usually is as people can spawn nearby and the boss can spawn there

[reef prairie]

i see mostly undergeared people looting those buildings

[wintry estuary]

ungeared people are my specialisation

XD

[reef prairie]

thats how i got my first melee kill

had to go for it, at least once

[orchid salmon]

there's the orb rooms and rb-bk, mostly it's an entrance into the bunkers

Early raid people are there to go down and cause they spawn next to it, later in raid mostly pscav infected (which is good for quest)

[upbeat flax]

Curious if i am schizo or not, has anyone else noticed raiders on Reserve just generally now take less time to start shooting you if you are a scav?

Felt like earlier this patch it would be a whole second but now It feels like whenever I see them they're already ready to shoot.

[reef prairie]

yeah, i noticed that, was a bit easier to kill them last wipe

[drowsy bronze]

is there any way to differentiate audio that is above you from audio that is on the same floor as you?

i cant seem to tell the difference when someone is walking above me on interchange

and when someone is on the same level

[wintry estuary]

how to distinguish raider and glukhar guard? I dont want to loose my scav karma

[ocean brook]

does anyone have chek 15, RB-OB, dorms marked room or streets marked room?

[crimson jolt]

Okay. I don't think I've ever spotted an enemy first.

[reef prairie]

[fathom ocean]

english and russian

[crimson jolt]

also how can I tell where I'm being shot from?

[fathom ocean]

and the location

[wintry estuary]

but scav raiders speak russian right?

[limber belfry]

listen to shots, if silenced, good luck lmao

[fathom ocean]

english

[reef prairie]

both

[limber belfry]

bear raiders = russian. usec raiders = english

[reef prairie]

but mostly english, and they have some unique voicelines

[wintry estuary]

oh so its good that they killed me as a scav

they speaked russian

near train station

[limber belfry]

yea if train was there thats likely raiders

[reef prairie]

i had some raiders that had the same voicelines as normal scavs, i dont know if thats new/intended

[shrewd hound]

so should i wait to get armor until ragman LL2

[surreal bolt]

i believe one speaks english, they sound like contractors. they are geared and will kill you fast as shit, and the other wears blue hats i believe i keep my distance from pretty much anything that moves on reserve

[crimson jolt]

Okay. I guy is maybe 20 feet away. My sights are on him and im firing my SKS. How the hell do I not hit a single shot??

[drowsy bronze]

i thought you could just run through the fire in the gas station

i saw someone in a video do it

[thick gorge]

im getting a somewhat decent grasp on the feel of the game, i have a pretty full inventory not many quests done. how do i unlock the ability to get like document and key cases etc

im level 6

xd

is the main focus at the beginning to do the first quests?

[crimson jolt]

It's like nothing made this guy flinch, but my aim was thrown off after he started shooting. I checked the footage. I 100% landed the first shot.

[reef prairie]

yes, to level up the traders

higher lvl traders gives you barters for cases

docs case you can also get on flea, its not terribly expensive

[icy terrace]

Hey! Can someone help me with this? Idk what happend, was it hacks or a bug?

[reef prairie]

could be invisible player/scav

well, pmc in that case

[icy terrace]

but no sound tho. I already encontered a invisible pmc before but this time i didnt heard anything

[reef prairie]

ive seen a few videos like that, with no sound at all

i guess more people know how to force it now

[icy terrace]

Ohh okk I thought it was finally my 1st time encountering a hacker lol, thanks!

[reef prairie]

nah, thats usually first shot headshot

or multiple headshots if you have an altyn

[icy terrace]

[whole thistle]

Were they iron sights

[crimson jolt]

they were

[whole thistle]

Those get completely misaligned if you're not standing still holding your breath

They're doggy poopoo

[halcyon crystal]

does anyone constantly have auto sort errors in your stash where you can only resolve it by finding the bugged item? why does this keep happening? is there a permanent fix?

[icy terrace]

bugged item? maybe u dont have enough space to auto-sort it. Like the AI cant figure out a better way to put your stuff

[halcyon crystal]

i searched and some people have the issue but it keeps happening to me a lot almost consistently. Ill have nearly a quarter of my stash empty, able to be auto sorted then suddenly I cant auto sort. I can fix it by transferring items back and forth, eventually one won't actually transfer. Once I make it disappear by not transfering, auto sort works again. the item is still present and not lost. I can keep auto sorting like normal until like another raid

[raven compass]

Who is the most difficult boss to deal with in tarkov?

[fierce meteor]

In game maps act as normal items, correct?

[topaz sigil]

WHAT THE FUCK

Thats what makes me wanna uninstal

[fierce meteor]

IE Lootable. There doesn't seem to be any reason to bring them in to a raid

[icy terrace]

Invisible pmc, the current bug.

Theres always something new with this game

[topaz sigil]

your kidding i couldnt even hear his shots

yeah thats was the 1 run i take my good shit out and i died to a bug

FML

fuck this game

[icy terrace]

check this. I recorded it myself aswell

[raven compass]

what did you record with? pls

[icy terrace]

I use outplayed

[fresh vale]

how many quests can you have active at the same time?

[icy terrace]

no limits

[fresh vale]

oh damn niceu

[topaz sigil]

if you have xbox game bar press Windows+G and than hit the record button on the top left

xbox game bar is a software that should be pre installed on your pc

[frosty whale]

what should i do with bitcoin

[topaz sigil]

im not playing this piece of shit till that shit is fixed. that is a GAME BREAKING bug and shouldve been fixed ASAP when it was discovered

[icy terrace]

Stack them till u have 10 to trade for a weapon box or sell it to therapist for that casshh

[topaz sigil]

fucking horseshit i had just found that G36 that match and i had brought one of my few good guns too

too make it worse the invisible guy was shooting for legs like a pussy

[icy terrace]

Remember, the more you die the more you get used to it. 😩

[topaz sigil]

just put one through my skull so its over faster jesus

[fresh vale]

just died to a ghost on streets, shit sucks

[topaz sigil]

someone DM when the devs fix it

not playing broken games

[fresh vale]

see you in 6 years

[topaz sigil]

yup if it takes those fuckers 6 years than thats how long ill wait

[shrewd hound]

suppressed dmr?

[icy terrace]

Nop just bug 😦

[topaz sigil]

i didnt hear anything either when i got killed by it so it mustve been part of the bug, unless the guy who killed me was 100 meters away AND had a thermal scope because is was behind a god damn forest

[shrewd hound]

it was probably a scav with a pistol honestly this wipe

[mint light]

yeah them allowing the game to be in this state with invisible people is absurd

[topaz sigil]

nope i got killed by player

[fresh vale]

this is doo doo ammo right

[icy terrace]

yes doo doo

[lethal heath]

just baited sanitar and his guards to push a choke I was holding and before they even got to the wall I started just heavy bleeding and my thorax blacked then I dropped lmao

such an unbelievably gamebreaking bug

[mint light]

and they just wont fix it

[topaz sigil]

fr unplayable

[mint light]

they could shut servers down for an hour and fix it real fast

boom

[lethal heath]

of all the games this has to be the most devastating

[mint light]

u lose gear that u fucking grinded for to a bug its comical

[topaz sigil]

all those sanctions must fuck with there ability to fix it or theyre just lazy bastards

[lethal heath]

being able to lose any amount of money on a bug with zero (0) counterplay

[topaz sigil]

thats what happened to me! i lost my ADAR i put good atachments on and i lost a G36 which i had just found

[mint light]

i havent encountered an invisible person yet by a guy i killed was invisible to my friend

i dont know how that happens, and why they seemingly dont care

[topaz sigil]

im almost certain he knew he was invisiable becuase his buddy was bait

[lethal heath]

yeh I killed a guy in resort and turned out it was a 3 stack cos my friend killed the other two and their bodies just werent there lol

[topaz sigil]

im extra pissed because that G36 melted the first guy and i got happy (a rarity in the tarkov expierience) and though it had gotten an ez kit

[mint light]

that dude prone had a pistol

[lethal heath]

you were rewarded for your loyalty to battlestate games

[topaz sigil]

still i need the shit

and i need pistols for the challenge so

honestly BSG just love to put the strap on, on and anal their playerbase

[lethal heath]

you can buy em tbf

[topaz sigil]

a free gun is better

[soft timber]

im using rip rounds for the first time, so can i really only shoot legs? or do they pen any armor?

[topaz sigil]

idk

going back to Rust until the game is playable, At least Facepunch fixes bug as soon as

[twilit wolf]

Nahh frequency is important and i think u mightve read it wrong i forgot where but it usually shows on one of the things as half the speed its at

Alsooo

[rustic patrol]

can someone help me

[gentle steppe]

Rip is absolute dog water against armor. Aim for legs if you have rip

[reef prairie]

your screenshot doesnt show ram-frequency, or am i blind?

[twilit wolf]

Spent an hour panicking thinking my pc is broke, turns out i forgot u need to use the little bar to lock ur cpu into place 😭 i forgot it existed cuz of how amd cpu just comes right out with the cooler and ive not built a pc in a year 😭

And nooo u said someone was running their ram at 1600

But it mightve actually been 3200 cuz it shows half the speed somewhere? Idk if its bios is where it shows that

[reef prairie]

in that case it was the windows performance monitor or whatever its called

that one shows mhz

[lethal heath]

What’s up

[rustic patrol]

im trying to do this prapor quest "search mission" but i keep dying

idk how to play woods i only really play customs

[twilit wolf]

Ahh yes if its showing in there its showing actual speeds, holy shit wonder how long they had 1600mhz ram

And faster ram is better on my specific cpu atleast

Ryzen like fast ram

[lethal heath]

Have you looked up a map on Google

[rustic patrol]

yeah its just hard to find where im at

[lethal heath]

Yeh I get that tbh

Just gotta look out for any details you can

[rustic patrol]

i found the both the spots but i died so it didn't count

[lethal heath]

Like forks in the roads or buildings

[rustic patrol]

thats what i was doing i just can't get to the extract

[lethal heath]

I’d also recommend

Only sprint if you have to cross a really open area

Just walk the rest of the way

Cos people hear footsteps for really far away and will just hunt you

[rustic patrol]

yeah i keep dying to the scavs im only running a makarov
