beginners-assistance

[agile hornet]

I dont understand why I get this

[stiff citrus]

because Fence is a moody bitch.. I had -0.71 rep and he bought things, next raid I had the same rep and he didnt want to buy things... one raid later he bought stuff again

[void prawn]

LFG got 3 need 1 more player w/ Little experience to help out some Noobs! Ch.Beg 9

[twilit wolf]

just got mines from 2833 to 3000mhz, also cleaned up alot of dust and hopefully my issue was just thermal throttling and my game has more than 30fps now :)

[whole thistle]

shrimp time

[vivid thunder]

update: Finally got Extortionist done without a single PvP encounter mostly just scavs 😌 Spawned near UN roadblock and looped back behind dorms before crossing back into cranes and then extracting in ZB-1011

[agile hornet]

aight

[rustic patrol]

is this helmet any good

[stiff citrus]

SSH much better

[twilit wolf]

[twilit wolf]

[twilit wolf]

one tap?

[astral barn]

help

[soft timber]

i literally dropped my backpack peeked the corner and then im dead

[twilit wolf]

?

[astral barn]

[twilit wolf]

any food spawns

its this big one

[astral barn]

;-;

[twilit wolf]

[astral barn]

i havent gotten a single one

[twilit wolf]

keep trying! youll get it :)

i believeeee

[soft timber]

nah my shadowplay doesn't work

[twilit wolf]

okay so u only got shot once? and u died not twice nothing? and ur hp was full?

or was ur thorax/head blacked?

[rustic patrol]

do you need roubles on you to take the van or can they be in your stash

[soft timber]

nah i was fully healed, i just got out of a fight against a team of 3 and made sure i was full hp

[twilit wolf]

keep them in your container

[twilit wolf]

sooo u peeked a corner and heard one shot then died? with all limbs full hp?

[austere hound]

Cache run on customs

[soft timber]

i thought he head eyes'd me because the scavs have been crazy and it wouldn't surprise me but i literally wasnt around the corner for more than a second

[twilit wolf]

yesss do this, or interchange

[soft timber]

yes lol

[twilit wolf]

weird idk what to say man

unlucky ig

[soft timber]

makes me wonder the point of running anything better than level 4 armor

[twilit wolf]

saves u alot of times

[soft timber]

apparently not to cracked scavs on customs 🙃

[twilit wolf]

mustve lagged or sum dude it couldnt 1 shot u, unless u had blacked chest

[soft timber]

there isn't a way to go back to look at what killed me is there? if there was i would send a screenshot

im just mad because i fried a team of level 40s

and im new to the game

[plucky spire]

how do yall do lighthouse quests, i keep dying to pmc's sniping me long before i get into the rogue compound

[twilit wolf]

youll have plenty more opportunities!!!

[twilit wolf]

cover the areas theyve been sniping u from clear them n stuff then once u know ur safe to go in, take out the rogues, and get to questing!

alot of pmcs have been attempting to farm rogues soo might be a hassle!

[soft timber]

unfort

[twilit wolf]

yee

anyways going into a customs raid to get dorms kills so cyaa

[rustic patrol]

if i put a compass in my special slot and die will i lose it

[brisk wharf]

goshan!

[astral barn]

goshan?

[brisk wharf]

https://youtu.be/6s-lL8Z8fAw?t=35

0:35 -- 1:15

tons of food spawn, try scaving there since not that many loots anymore as at the beginning of the wipe

[astral barn]

ok thanks

❤️

[twilit wolf]

@reef prairie broooo after cleaning up my fans, putting on new thermal paste i get like 60 degrees rather than 80-90mid raid

and fps is SOOOO good now

90-110 :)))

[vivid thunder]

what is a good map to try and do Stirrup in (get pistol PMC kills)
other than Factory

[reef prairie]

Nice. I need to repaste too, I also get 80 on cpu in raid. And the stock cooler doesn't help, although it's not terrible

[twilit wolf]

i got a stock cooler tooo

honestly i think the biggest thing was cleaning up all the dust that was literally covering up the whole cooler 😭

[normal shale]

I would probably recommend customs personally, if you don't wish to do it on factory. I have my biases though, ultimately wherever you are most comfortable will likely be best. I would mention however, that if the quest is troubling you too much, not to focus on it at all in the first place. The rewards aren't incredibly impactful by any means, and it doesn't lead to any other tasks, nothing significant is locked behind the quest, and it's something you can do over time, if you actually choose to implement a pistol into a kit you may choose to run in the future, or simply don't want to do with the equipment you have available to you now.

[vivid thunder]

Ooh it's not tied to any other task? thanks for the headsup! I will try to ignore it then
I just want the EXP boost to reach lvl 15 and unlock Flea

[stuck lichen]

if you want to brute force it I've found the m1911 with hydrashock on factory was the best way to get it done fast

[twilit wolf]

if youre going a sniper, aslong as youve got yourself peacekeeper level 2 you can buy yourself a fn five-seven!

[twilit wolf]

yesss thats what i used, i used match fmj thooo

[stuck lichen]

hydrashock is basically the only way to have a chance at killing them, match fmj sucks

[vivid thunder]

I've been stockpilling random pistols I found in raid, planning on just doing pistol only runs a dozen times to just lose all of them

I think I'll just do that and let luck ride

[twilit wolf]

haha yesss do that just rush factory with em honestly itlll workkkk factory can help you improve your closerange pvp too :)

[normal shale]

Happy to help. :)

[vivid thunder]

I still remember the 1v1 I got myself with in Factory 2 nights ago
we were both rolling Pump actions, and after 16 shots 8 from each of us
we were stuck reloading and staring at each other

I died at the end tho

[normal shale]

Hahah, it happens, those fights are incredibly chaotic, but good fun to look back on.

@vivid thunder If you're having any trouble picking the game up by the way, I love playing with new players, I would be happy to join you on some of your early raids and help you learn the ropes, at your own pace. Otherwise though, I wish you the best of luck, and have fun with the game!

[vivid thunder]

Thanks!

I am having fun

only trouble I have atm are quests and just PvPvE

and finding AI Scavs cause they either don't spawn or other people got to them first

got Woods, Factory (excluding underground), Customs, Interchange (without 2nd floor mall) memorized at this point

[normal shale]

Aye, that's fair, quests can cause a fair bit of trouble for many, and learning how to even approach pvpve is a task unto itself, when half of those quests rely upon you knowing how to.

[normal shale]

Very nice! That's very good actually, I was not nearly as well versed for my first wipe.

[vivid thunder]

I have over 100 PMC raids under my belt, bound to learn something

the recent Invisible player bug is a pain tho

[normal shale]

Aye, one would hope at least. And yea, the bugs the new wipe have introduced are a massive pain in the ass.

[whole thistle]

killa

[vivid thunder]

Thanks for the offer, but I play mostly in the Asia servers (OCE too but ping is bad; and rubber band/disconnects happen once every few raids)

plus, timezones are a fuck

[normal shale]

Ah, gotcha, I wish you the best then. ^^

[tough oyster]

is there a point in keeping streamer items? i dont think ill hit kappa this wipe at all

[dire rock]

not really

[craggy turret]

dude they have fucking removed tagilla from the game

[ripe tree]

Keep or sell kek tape

[elfin elm]

keep 5, sell the rest

[ripe tree]

Quest?

[elfin elm]

yep

ragman one

[ripe tree]

Ok thanks

[rich hornet]

does anyone have the key for bad rep evidence?

[brittle canyon]

it’s on flea

[rich hornet]

no its only for barter i think

[brittle canyon]

keep refreshing

someone will put it up for cash

no keys are “barter only”
it’s just that people may decide not to put them up for cash because the tax is too high for them to do so

and/or the keys are high demand so cash offers are sold quickly

[rich hornet]

ohh okay that makes sense i was able to get one, it was up for like 150k

[brittle canyon]

you could’ve waited longer

[vivid thunder]

flea market item pool is global and goes among servers right? an offer made in Asia can be bought by someone in NA sorta deal

[drifting jolt]

hello boys n girls

[drifting jolt]

yes

[vivid thunder]

ooh ok, good

thanks for the answer!

[obsidian minnow]

for the quest The Survivalist Path - Eagle-Owl by jaeger can you use NVGs and just lift them up when you go to kill, or can you not take them into raid at all

[viral saffron]

I swear Ledx's don't exist anymore

[twilit wolf]

just find them 🤷

[viral saffron]

Lil' hard when they don't exist

[twilit wolf]

manifest 🙏

[vivid thunder]

I've never really replaced my daily quests to get something more doable, is it worth it to replace?

does it affect rep with the trader, or is it just money that you spend to roll for better quest?

[obsidian minnow]

it will tell you if it does

i believe its random if it affects rep or not,

if you click it and it says "you will lose X amount of roubles, and X rep" then you will lose rep, if it only mentions roubles/dol/eur you only lose that

[vivid thunder]

aah so it's not guaranteed negative rep, okay; good to know
I was confused

Thanks!

[obsidian minnow]

it will say like -0.01 in red

ye

[brittle canyon]

reroll the ones that have no rep penalty or if you already have enough rep

like I’m already .6 with thera and way behind in levels, so I’m gonna reroll all thera dailies

[vivid thunder]

I need rep 💀
But yeah I will be more wise
throughout the week, I usually only complete 4 dailies on average

a lot of them are very hard for me to do

get PMC kill 60meters away in Streets is absurd (for me)

[ripe tree]

Any tips for stirrup this quest is making me go insane

[brittle canyon]

do it later

[ripe tree]

I'm not about that

Last wipe I did it on one factory raid

But that was really really lucky

[brittle canyon]

I’m on trader 3s and still 0 stirrup kills

never felt the need to do it

[ripe tree]

Oh

Maybe I should wait till flea on second thought

[brittle canyon]

you need 2 flashbang kills for jaeg later too

so blind with ks and finish with pistol

double progress

[vital oasis]

this worth keeping when you can just jump in and outta the room?

[brittle canyon]

they patched the hole (literally)

[vital oasis]

oop nvm

ill keep lol

[low minnow]

anyone want to help with aquarius or golden swag?

[brittle canyon]

therapist has both of the keys

[low minnow]

I know dont have the barters

[brittle canyon]

#pvp-lfg

[noble silo]

Killing boss as Scav loses Karma?

[brittle canyon]

a lot

[noble silo]

But they can kill me, this is not Cheeki Breeki

[brittle canyon]

they’re the big cheese on the street and you are a local nobody

you stepped on their turf you get shot

[molten tendon]

No wonder why I had 3.0 then all the sudden 2.6 rep lol

[lucid terrace]

3 Situations to stop a run through 1. Wait ten minutes in raid then extract.
Kill either 1 PMC or 2 scavs
Loot enough to gain xp that you can extra - uncertain how much so just search everything and loot anything, you can dumb it after its all about the xp gain

[brittle canyon]

7 minutes, or kill 1 scav and touch the body

it’s exactly 300xp

[lucid terrace]

TLDR: chose poorly to go to lower ground and you took majority of damage from yourself due to blacked out limbs.

1. Learn to loot fast by using hot keys, Alt left click you auto equip armor/gear and control left click you auto equip guns. Faster you loot less risk you have. Same with transferring things on to you from whatever you are looting.
2. You needed to yeet that grenade from cover to figure out where he was at or get him to move immediately. It would either force him out or cause him to MAYBE pause and then you can flank or move.
3. You took the most damage from your broken leg, get CMS kit or survive kit. rewatch and see how all your limbs were red from the damage. That cost you and got you low enough to be one tapped by really anything. Blacked out limbs take more damage and radiate it to other limbs.
4. You chose the lower ground which is bad tactically. Best to back track up the hill into concealment ideally cover. Nothing wrong with disengaging and backing off.
5. Use scopes/ sights as much as possible since they aide in landing shots. - minor but it would help until you get good with irons.

[elfin pendant]

is streets still unoptimized? i tried my first raid and i get 30-40 fps less than other maps

[brittle canyon]

optimization is not a yes or no thing, yes they’re working on it but it’s clear it’s the least optimized

[shrewd hound]

can i have an explanation why an AI killed me as a player scav

[brittle canyon]

naturally since it’s the newest map

[elfin pendant]

i went in a streets raid and i was invisble to other players. i literally just walked up to someone and they couldnt see me neither his 2 teammates

[brittle canyon]

name of scav

[shrewd hound]

yasgreb

[slate moth]

Boss guard?

[brittle canyon]

seperate bug, they fixed some of it recently but not all

[brittle canyon]

had a report button?

[shrewd hound]

nope

[brittle canyon]

one word name is a boss guard or raiders or rogue

[shrewd hound]

he didnt immediately kill me

he like waited

[brittle canyon]

they do that

gluhar guards warn you to get away before shooting

[shrewd hound]

it was reserves

so i guess it was that

[pseudo ravine]

anyone down to help me out i just started this wipe and i cant seem to get anything going, not asking for free gear just a few raids with someone good

[lucid terrace]

not really, all the new maps always have issues. Streets will always be the worst likely with all the stuff/loot they put in it. Look up a youtube video of settings to get better FPS. There are a few ways to boost it. Also you need more than 16gbs of ram for this game since its badly optimized. If you have lower it will always be an issue. RAM, then CPU then GPU are the primary things this game needs, GPU not as much

[elfin pendant]

i have 32gb and ryzen 7 3700x

[lucid terrace]

known bug, they supposedly hot fixed it from the people who do it intentionally. Can maybe still happen. Just accept the free raid and know you can still die. So run the raid and enjoy

[shrewd hound]

will keep in mind

[lucid terrace]

look at Trey24k settings or look at Landmark. Pretty much this game runs better with some settings on high.

[elfin pendant]

how were people doiing it intentionally?

[shrewd hound]

which ones?

[lucid terrace]

Unsure, there was a method with actions and purposefully disconnecting from the game to set it up. Nothing new, old wipes people used to glitch instant max health and strength or their weapons so they couldn't be looted. Its spaghetti code, they always fix a bug and a patch or 2 later some come back

[lucid terrace]

I use Trey24k's settings he explains why he does what. But most popular streamers that have a similar set up will work. here is the one I used. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ykxqtSLqYdI&t=3s

Dealdyslob, LVNDMARK, TREY24K, Shroud, pretty much any big streamer shows their settings for the game and you can find their rig so you can decide which you like best

[dull swallow]

do raiders in reserve spawn in the begging of the match

[lucid terrace]

Also shameless plug I stream sometimes too on Twitch. Lancelot is the name if you happen to see me feel free to jump in and ask any questions. Been playing since 2017 took few wipes off.

[lucid terrace]

They can, but not always. Normally a few minutes in and now a days in the basement areas first. When people open the hermetic door extract they can spawn. Normally when you see Raider like folks above ground its Gluhar and his goons, think he has like 7

[brittle canyon]

some of them do

[dull swallow]

okay thanks

[safe panther]

anyone got crucial ballistix max 32gb for sale

just wonderin shits rare as a unicorns

it seems

[lucid terrace]

Got a EVGA3080 FTW 12 GB for sale lol

[safe panther]

lol

a single stick??

[lucid terrace]

thats a graphics card lol

[safe panther]

oh you mean gpu

hahaha

[lucid terrace]

never heard of that ram, idk man any DDR5 should be fine. you dont need anything too crazy its minimal difference for gaming. Like milliseconds.

[safe panther]

thee way i need that ram i was considering the single stick upgrade lol

naw dd4

[lucid terrace]

or DDR4 is really good too. Yeah but make sure your MB is compatable with it

[safe panther]

i got my lpx vengeance at 3866 im tryin to break 4k mt

yea it is

x570

gonnna try and snag a 5800x3d

[lucid terrace]

good luck man, hunting the parts is sometimes better

you finish the build and its like.. now what?

[safe panther]

true the troubleshootin begins usually for me lol

[lucid terrace]

you have to drop them or have them in your backpack. IE not equipped. So no putting them up shouldn't work. Try it to confirm, but when I do it I run Nods and just drop them on the floor, shoot and then equip. Easier to find if you put them in backpack but can take longer.

[lucid terrace]

if its a popular map I often go by the room later in the raid and sometimes someone else on the quest opened it for me. Works well on popular makes like shoreline due to loot goblins.

[lone comet]

anyone have a gk-02?

still need it for my quest

[brittle canyon]

find it on fence or from scavs

[lone comet]

lmao ik ive been trying

[tight relic]

does anyone know how to get the bunkhouse key ive ran 20 raids and didnt find it on factory

[halcyon crystal]

I have a slot in my stash that if I place an item into, it causes an error. how to fix? relog did not work

[magic crow]

can some one give me screw nuts or tell me where to find them? i just need 1

[brittle canyon]

jackets

flea

[ocean brook]

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

[stiff citrus]

you are asking for so long, havent you come across any on your own yet?

[ocean brook]

i wish

[exotic mirage]

am i the only one stuck at 10 fps on streets of tarkov

i run 140 everywhere else

am just trying to do tasks but impossible

[sand owl]

Hello everyone, this is my first wipe playing Tarkov and so far im doing good, but I just have one problem and its footsteps and audio. I play with some buddies and he says he always hears footsteps and i cant hear shit and just hear the foliage rummaging in the background. I can be right next the guy and I cant hear him at all. Does anyone mind helping me with these audio settings and what I should be using to make footsteps more audible. Please and thank you. If you need specs of what im using to help please dm me. I would really appreciate it.

[stiff citrus]

Headset.

[brittle canyon]

you can run no helmet or no armor but never run no headset

[stiff citrus]

can you please put that Kite down in a tidy line with the other Kite's and put the Strike up to the other Strikes?

[brittle canyon]

why even keep cigs

[sand owl]

i always run with a headset and its just overloading with just wind. they can be right next to me and i cant hear them. while my friend hears them from 50 meters away and we have the same thing. Is there like equalizer settings you would mind sharing

[stiff citrus]

quest perhaps

[stiff citrus]

Better Headset then

[brittle canyon]

only need 5 each for bad habit

[brittle canyon]

all headsets have the same hearing extension range but they all have different sound profiles and some suppress background noise better than others

[analog fulcrum]

using the gssh perhaps?

[brittle canyon]

gssh for example is trash in most people’s opinion

[stiff citrus]

That "Better Headset" also goes for your IRL headset.. not every headset displays the exact same audio, just like ingame.. some headset are better some are worse.. I had 15€ headsets with better audio and mic quality than 100€ Logitech ones

[safe panther]

gg sonar steelseries tarkov eq

really hear the game

[brittle canyon]

logitech selling overpriced plastic e-waste? no way man

[stiff citrus]

DT 770 Pro 🤌

[brittle canyon]

stealseries cuz it steals your money

[safe panther]

its for any headphone

its a eq

built for tarkov

[sand owl]

would you mind sharing your settings for this eq

[brittle canyon]

eqs will harm distance perception

just play with a lower volume

[safe panther]

download gg sonar

click the game tab

select tarkov

[brittle canyon]

and now you can hear more footsteps but can’t figure out where
not a good tradeoff

[mint light]

fr

[safe panther]

and you can raise and lower all frequencies its just they show you where they are its the best sounding the game can sound

[mint light]

i have a steelseries headset it was like 8 billion dollars

[safe panther]

my arctis 3 were like 50 bucks

worth every cent

[brittle canyon]

you know every gaming company is scum

[mint light]

i have arctis 7

[stiff citrus]

I bet you can finally hear in some 16-bit stereo!

[safe panther]

you didnt have to drop that change tho the 3s are fine

[mint light]

i can hear the bad guys

its fine

they work

i have no complaints

[safe panther]

i dont like the mic that mush tbh

[mint light]

i dont use headset mic

[stiff citrus]

dont say that about the KSP Devs 😌

[safe panther]

sounds tinny

[stiff citrus]

most of the time its Publisher that are scum

[safe panther]

just use em with my sm7b

[brittle canyon]

this is like blaming ea for everything wrong respawn does

[stiff citrus]

Publisher do have a pretty big say in development.. name me one game under EA's name that aint full trash 😂

[mint light]

are there audiophile headphones that are wireless

i must experiment

[safe panther]

IEM

not headphones

[stiff citrus]

there are good Sennheiser wireless

[mint light]

whatever the fuck their called jit

[safe panther]

like lvndmarks

in ear monitors

[mint light]

i dont wanna associate with landmark lol

[brittle canyon]

it’s because the studios themselves are trash

[safe panther]

gloirious e

[mint light]

glorious is cool

[safe panther]

facts

iems

[mint light]

glorious just uses earbuds lol

[safe panther]

they gettin more affordable too look up crinical on yt

get some for under 50 bucks probably

they iem

[mint light]

what does iem mean

u made it up

[brittle canyon]

in ear monitor

[safe panther]

tell be the shape it looks like hearing aids

[brittle canyon]

it’s the snobby audiophile way of saying fancy earbud

[safe panther]

//\

[mint light]

i would never say that it sounds silly

[safe panther]

most earbuds are single drivers

[tough oyster]

is Rat Scanner bannabe?

[mint light]

yes

[brittle canyon]

technically yes practically no

[safe panther]

so technically the term is good

[brittle canyon]

it was even approved by community rep at some point

[safe panther]

wtf is ratscanner

these fools using radar

?

[brittle canyon]

fancy screenshot tool that reads the item name on screen and displays a price

just basic OCR

[safe panther]

oh thats not bad

just have the wiki open or whatever

[brittle canyon]

since it doesn’t interface with the game it’s not a modification per se

[safe panther]

i just memorize shit i like grabbing

[brittle canyon]

just lives on the top of the screen

[safe panther]

like a fps overlay

can they type in what they looking for or its just a big ass list

[brittle canyon]

0.5s quicker than alt tabbing to tarkov.dev

so much advantage (unreal)

[safe panther]

lol

sarcasm detected

itd probably get em killed tbh more often than not

[tough oyster]

From what I see if you hover over an item it displays the price

[safe panther]

like in loot or in the overlay

[brittle canyon]

there’s a square box of text you can place anywhere on the screen

if you scan an item the box updates with new text

[safe panther]

crazy

yea if they dont detect it its not a bannable thing

well they know of it and didnt block it i mean

[brittle canyon]

they can literally add ratscanner.exe to battleye blacklist

and that would be it

[safe panther]

right

i heard they use the cheapest battleye tho so they dont have a lot of features or options they otherwise would

which is wierd but

[tough oyster]

See gif
https://ratscanner.com/

[brittle canyon]

some gossip bs

[safe panther]

yeah thats a gnarly app thing

[safe panther]

is it tho

how can we prove or disprove it

[brittle canyon]

anticheat is not a be-all end-all solution, the game itself is just engineered poorly, if the game is not made with security in mind there’s only so much be can do

[tough oyster]

U can connect rat scanner to tarkov tracker io and itll show u if u need that item for a quest or hideout

[brittle canyon]

be mostly focuses on stopping you from modifying the game files and running sussy programs with the game

[safe panther]

so its a feature pretty much at this point

[crude veldt]

Is there any way you can have automatic fire with 7.62x54R rounds? I heard an automatic gun and saw a laser at the same time, killed me and a buddy within 5 seconds. Maybe silenced SVD? Isn't that one semi auto?

[mint light]

svd is fastest firing 54r

[stable island]

could u guys give sum gun builds that are 200k or less counting ammo pls

[brittle canyon]

what trader level

what range

[stable island]

all 2

[stable island]

medium to long

[brittle canyon]

any preferences

or what quest are you doing with it

[stable island]

uhh i like guns that can tap heads i dunno

im cool with trying anything

[brittle canyon]

any gun can tap head

can you buy 856a1

[stable island]

nope but i got a decent bit in my stash

[tough oyster]

desync sucks

i want my 20ms servers back

[brittle canyon]

well you can buy 545 pp and bt

so 74n is an obvious first choice

[stable island]

oki

[brittle canyon]

for 556 scar or g36 or mdr

[stable island]

i should probably try to unlock m856a1 but i hate shoreline so i still havent even done peacekeeprs first qurst

[brittle canyon]

also you always have umps or shotguns or whatever

but ump is more medium close range

[stable island]

is m855 the only decent thign i can buy until m86a1 for adar and stuf

[brittle canyon]

yea

you could craft 56a1

I think I had to do 4 batches to hold me over before cult pt1

[stable island]

which workbench lvl is it

[brittle canyon]

2

[stable island]

alright

ty

do I need a full durability sv98 for peacekeepers first quest

[brittle canyon]

no he gives you one

completely strip it and it’s 4x1 and lightweight

stash that

[stable island]

i die with that one

[brittle canyon]

buy another

[stable island]

😪😪

oki

so i can just stash this

[brittle canyon]

yea

[unique plover]

You’re going to have to go to shoreline sooner or later. Most of the quests from mid 20’s on are for shoreline

Leveling PK is also pretty big

[stable island]

i got the first quest done first try so im a bit more confident

[fleet sable]

c

[unique plover]

You just set yourself up for so much disappointment Lmao

[fleet sable]

Any chance someone can post a P226 Stainless Elite Wooden Pistol Grip on the market?

[unique plover]

You should try to stack your shoreline raids though. Get as many quests as you can done in one raid. My record is 7 this wipe

[stable island]

7 in one raid

thats crazy

[unique plover]

It was a wild raid

[stable island]

ya im start to focus on quests ive barely done much

im at 24 just from playing pretty much

[kindred shell]

You lost the game

[tribal trench]

anyone got a bolt action on they scav they can give me for a task

[hardy fox]

What task is it for?

[tribal trench]

fence

daily

it gives me a hose i need ofr my other task

[hardy fox]

If you go factory I’m sure there is a few lying around that people have left

[noble silo]

One question, when I am making a barter with some trader and I click on Fill items, what is the priority of the filling items? they all choose the non-found in raid, or the one that is on top on my stash

[tough oyster]

I just got a scav junk box but im still lvl1

scav life

[violet shale]

Time to save up for another lmao

Might have to just sell my stash and only have scav junk boxes

[formal vigil]

It’s random

[untold elm]

im such an idiot

i just left 3 scopes on reserve scav and they total out to like 200k 🤣

[frigid finch]

i hate this point in a wipe lol, all tier 3 traders, only quests left are the ones that are super tedius or cost millions in rubles

[silk moth]

literally unplayable

[bright rune]

Do you have some budget Loadouts?
I am Level 16 right now

[open apex]

ump

or shotgun with magnum

and armor/backpack size up to what u want\

if you master the art of the ump headshot only

you can kill anyone

[supple panther]

thats with any gun

at that point just run the makarov

or any other cheap gun

and head, eyes every1

[tough oyster]

How long would it take to go from lvl 1 to 15

[supple panther]

2-3 days

[tough oyster]

Wha would be the fastest way of hitting 15?

[woeful spruce]

ump is great but if you prefer an assault rifle that has a chance at thoraxing class 4 armor this build is very budget, buy pp or bp ammo for it

[supple panther]

quests

[supple panther]

go for the rvg grip if u can

[woeful spruce]

of nonstop playing maybe, for most people its more like a week or more

[supple panther]

youre just bad at the game really

whats hard?

killing 5 scavs?

handing in 2 shotguns from jager?

or handing in some salewas, morphines and gas analyzers

😂

[woeful spruce]

its better but im going for max budget

[supple panther]

its like 5k difference

what

[woeful spruce]

yea

[supple panther]

+2 ergo +1 recoil

5k man

[vivid thunder]

3 weeks in, 80 hours game time
level 11

[woeful spruce]

nothing is hard whatsoever, its time consuming

[supple panther]

literally

half the early game quest items

can be found in a single woods raid

3 salewas, 4 morphines, some iskras, emelyas, gas analyzers

[austere hound]

You mean stuff that relies on rng? Yes. It's easily possible to get roadblocked & it takes longer than expected

[supple panther]

stop acting like youre required to turn in 5 ledx and 25 gpus

[radiant maple]

When it's your first wipe it takes a lot longer than 2,3 days

[supple panther]

if u cant find 3 salewas, 4 gas analyzers, a few iskras/emelyas/tushonkas, 4 morphines

[austere hound]

I'm not. I exclusively played woods 1-15 & saw 0 big beef stews on that journey. It happens

[supple panther]

in 5-10 raids, it might be a skill issue

[supple panther]

i dont think were playing the same woods lol

[woeful spruce]

most poeple play what like, 20 raids a week including scav? i wanna see you get lvl 15 in 20 raids

[austere hound]

I don't think you comprehend rng

[bright rune]

Ty!

[supple panther]

theres RNG and being bad lol

[woeful spruce]

also your assumtions are based on you surviving those raids, mopst people have a sub 40% survival rate

[supple panther]

stop acting like salewas, gas analyzers, morphines or other early game quest items are rare

[vivid thunder]

and stop acting like a tryhard?

[austere hound]

Ahh yes. I'm being bad because big beef stew didn't spawn from scav bunker to village. Thanks for enlightening me.

[radiant maple]

Well i have a quest where i need 3 gas analysers,found 2 in 1 raid and then did like 10 raids looking for the last one but didn't find it,if that's not rng idk what is

[supple panther]

nothing tryhardy about not being a noob tf 💀

[vivid thunder]

it was a beginner question, you could have left it at that instead of just saying "it's easy lol, try harder, skill issue" repeatedly
my two cents, that's all

[supple panther]

yall playing your first wipe and dont know where to look for certain items then complain about rng

im dead 💀

[radiant maple]

Actually i do know where to look, not just looting random spawns

[austere hound]

This is my 4th wipe. Woods is my most played map. You really should stop talking out your ass. You're sounding like a child

[radiant maple]

literally

[supple panther]

how are u on ur 4th wipe, a woods main and struggle with lvl 1-15 quest items? 🤣

[austere hound]

I know where to look. I got fucked by rng. It happens sometimes

[radiant maple]

These emojis are killing me

[austere hound]

I also found 4 in a single stache runs on customs after giving up on woods trying to find food. Guess what? Found all my beef stews on a single cache run. That's also rng.

[radiant maple]

There is rng,being bad, and just people with a lot of free time

[woeful spruce]

ive been playing this game with no breaks for the last 3 years i know every single fucking loot spawn on every single map, ive done early game tasks more time than i can possibly remember and know exactly how fast progression is, youre delusional

[keen magnet]

nerd

[supple panther]

right, thats exactly why youre jewing over 5k for a better grip cuz "hurr durr max budget" and cant hit lvl 15 in 3 days.

[austere hound]

Exactly lol

[supple panther]

just run a stock kedr bro

for max budget

use cheapest ammo

tap heads, 1 shot kill

why even bother with PP ammo on the AK when u can 1 tap ppl from a 20k gun for max budget

[austere hound]

Please go back to playing Warzone or Fortnite. Better yet just stop typing here because you're practically saying nothing

[bright rune]

Just found out i can craft the ak 74n.
How should i mod it?

[woeful spruce]

depending on your trader levels

[vivid thunder]

Jewing over 5k?

[radiant maple]

💀

[bright rune]

Level 1

[supple panther]

just use a mosin

[woeful spruce]

then there isnt a whole lot you can do, you can swap the dustcover to the bastion from skier and put a red dot on it

[robust robin]

This chat is getting nearly as toxic as eft1

[supple panther]

your modding options are straight up inexistent

[woeful spruce]

or alternative put a dovetail sight on it like the ekp 8 from prapor

[radiant maple]

wonder why

[bright rune]

Not worth to buy from flea, right?

[woeful spruce]

you got flea? that changes things

[tough oyster]

im on streets as a scav and i have no clue where i am

am at a place called dental

[bright rune]

Yes, i do

[woeful spruce]

with flea you can do something like this for example

just a sugestion, probably cheaper builds possible

[bright rune]

Ty, that helps a lot. Ill try out this weapon and maybe ump ^^

Dont rly know which weapons i like yet xD

[woeful spruce]

of course ad foregrip and light to the build

forgot

[supple panther]

Absolutely no reason to not run a grip on this for extra 5-10k

[supple panther]

💯

[bright rune]

Why cant i find the stock that u use?

[woeful spruce]

probably you dont have it identified yet

[ocean brook]

Does anyone have Chek 15, RB-OB, dorms or streets marked room?

[woeful spruce]

you can probably identify it by linked searching the gun

if you use the middle finger emote while on a scav to an ai scav they will become hostile

im not aware of a mechanic like that, maybe coincidence or they were playerscavs also emoting

[formal vigil]

Funny thing is if you emote as pmc ai scavs will respond back

Bosses and raiders included

I tired it with reshala

And he responded back

[tough oyster]

Im somehow lvl2 but i havent played a single raid as my pmc

somehow got 1007 xp

[humble tide]

inspecting gives xp

[tough oyster]

isnt it 10 xp?

each

[formal vigil]

If u inspect everything you get lvl 2

[frigid finch]

i just walked the entirety of oli looking for bleach and cant find any lol

[formal vigil]

Look in customs

I find a lot there in the dead scavs

[frigid finch]

lol love getting oneshot headeyesd by a player at 50 meters with 6.5mm buckshot

[humble tide]

found some on shoreline yesterday

[frigid finch]

lol....i just wish they would actually balance their game properly

[kindred grotto]

what 1-3 keys should i add

im finna buy cottage

[tough oyster]

i got a shooterborn kill with a shotgun once, on shoreline

dont remember the gun, but it had a huge barrel and a huge supressor, and the ammo that had the least MOA

superforamce i think

[frigid finch]

seriously, people carry around 20 fucking grenades

this is fucking ridiculous

there was a group of 5 pmcs, i killed 3 of them, and the other 2 just started lobbing grenades in interchange till they got lucky....they had no idea where i was...they threw about 15 total together

[spiral elk]

am level 6, how long does it take to reach 15 because this is kinda shit

am about to lose all my money

[slow crag]

Depends how good you are

People get it day 1

And people like me still don’t have it

[spiral elk]

idk what load out to run and what to do

[frigid finch]

if you are 6, about 7 times longer then it took you to get to 6

[slow crag]

Lmao

[spiral elk]

[stuck lichen]

any tips for an easy way to get cpu for signal part 2?

[twilit wolf]

Haha yeah rather than having a fair fight ppl will do that a single guy threw around ten at me i was in a good spot after i ran out and doinked him. Unfortunate that u died tho dud

[twilit wolf]

Pcs

[south wave]

Interchange PC's

[twilit wolf]

I think they might spawn in caches too right?

Go look through pcs at olli then stash run around interchange lol

[frigid finch]

happens...just annoying....i think for every grenade you carry in your rig/pockets, there should be a 10% chance of having it instantly explode whenever you are shot in the thorax

[stuck lichen]

do I need a key for the pc's at olli?

[twilit wolf]

Meh nah thatd be crap

[frigid finch]

better then a pmc carrying 10 grenades lol....you should have 1 or 2, and use them strategically, instead of just randomly throwing them

[twilit wolf]

Nah its how the game is just gotta deal with it, unfortunate but i mean 🤷

Grenadier/nade kills would be pretty hard to do if u could onky carry 2

[frigid finch]

lol, i mean, recoil system is shit and its just how it is, still think that should change...grenadier would also still be pretty easy...takes me like, 10 factory runs with 1 grenade each time to finish that quest lol

[twilit wolf]

I mean recoil has changed sooo 🤷 not perfect but rlly playable

[frigid finch]

its still just as bad lol, the changes didnt fix what the actual problem

spray and pray should not be the meta

[bright rune]

Do you also have a preset for ump?

[woeful spruce]

ump doesnt really need anything, just put any cheap foregrip you got on it, a sight you like using

[bright rune]

Ok nice, ty ^^

[woeful spruce]

a supressor if you want lower recoil

[frigid finch]

didnt it just get nerfed, like it feels shit now

[woeful spruce]

i havent played ump this wipe whatsoever i dislike it so cant tell

[bright rune]

imo ump feels good, but i am completely new

Seeing a lot of player also using it

[radiant maple]

How do you guys choose which ammo is the best for every caliber?

[robust robin]

Just because its really good for its price

[robust robin]

Look at wiki/ammo charts

[spiral elk]

do people rush questing only to reach level 15 fast ?

[robust robin]

Search caliber and sort by pen

[robust robin]

Quests are the quickest way to level up yes

[radiant maple]

Is penetration the only thing that decides the value of it?

[frigid finch]

you basically want something that can pen level 4 armor at a minimum

[robust robin]

Always quest if you want to level up quick, unless you're faeming rogeues or raiders or whatnot

[spiral elk]

if i loot a quest item on a scav run will i be able to hand it ?

[twilit folio]

ye

[robust robin]

For most calibers highest pen ammo is the best, except for 545 and 556 because the damage drops when pen rises, so for them calibers i would use 545 bs and m855a1 at most

[bright rune]

whats the difference between aks and ak?

[fathom viper]

Alright guys, really new to the game, but played similar games due to the genre, ( but not this hardcore ofcouse ) what to do in the beginning? watched probably 3-4 diffrent youtube videos and still confused lmao

[frigid finch]

lol what similar games?

[spiral elk]

than whats the limitation of scavs ? i cant to quests that requires me to do something like the quest to unlock jaiger ?

[fathom viper]

@frigid finch Just loot and extract games in general, nothing thats exactly like tarkov but still..

[twilit folio]

uhm, rush quests?

[radiant maple]

i believe you can use them to get other stuff, like loot that is not quest specific,but generic loot that can be found anywhere

[twilit folio]

u have unlimited scavs, u can't complete some quests as scav, but not all of them

[spiral elk]

so quests that requires me to loot something wont count, but i will be able to turn them in ?

[robust robin]

For the quest specific items that always spawn in raid, you need to be a pmc, but for items that arent quest speciric and can be looted from anywhere they can be looted as a scav and turned into quests

[spiral elk]

sometimes the quests requires me to find the item in raid and turn the item in

[frigid finch]

you cant loot quest items as a scav, they wont spawn, but you can loot non quest items and turn them in

[twilit folio]

depends

if the quest asks only for a generic item, yeah

like for example, if the quest asks you to find a can of beef ya can just get it as scav

[spiral elk]

so the doctor's gas quest can be done on a scav

[radiant maple]

for example if you need to turn 2 bandages found in raid you can find them with a scav and turn in,but quests like that jaeger one with the letter that is a specific item only lootable with pmc

[twilit folio]

but quest specific items not

[frigid finch]

which quest is that

the gas analyzers?

[spiral elk]

gaz analyzer

[radiant maple]

you can do them with a scav

[frigid finch]

yea those arent quest items

[radiant maple]

trying to do that one as well but rng is not on my side

[proven saddle]

you can craft em

[radiant maple]

takes 17 hours though,i thought it would be a lot quicker

[frigid finch]

lol its random, i got all level 3 traders before i found 3 flash drives for jaegar, but got 2 gas analyzers in my first couple raids

[radiant maple]

i found like 2 before i had the quest but both of them were in my container as a pmc so i died and lost the FIR status

[hexed siren]

hi could anyone help with bad rep evidence both of the keys are hella expensive

[radiant maple]

How much is the yellow lab keycard worth?

[frigid finch]

dont put items in your container unless they are worth money being sold to vendors

[proven saddle]

both? thers only one

[hexed siren]

well theres the factory emergency exit key as well which spawns the bunkhouse key

[radiant maple]

yeah at the time I didn't know how it works so yeah

[proven saddle]

its a pretty low chance to spawn

youre better off bartering for the bunkhouse key

[bright rune]

Is there a cheap rig for early levels or from flea?

[robust robin]

Tarzan from jager 1 for a hmatch which is like 8k most the time

Or the bank robber from ragman 1

[bright rune]

cant find tarzan on jager 1

only umka

[frigid finch]

honestly, you shouldnt really be spending money on equipment....just use whatever your scav is able to extract with

[robust robin]

Oh it might be jager 2 sorry

[bright rune]

Np, but good to know ^^

[proven saddle]

also try #pvp-lfg lotta people willing to help in there

[robust robin]

The azimut has a good amount of slots for its price, from flea

[bright rune]

Need to find flash drive, where are good spawns? :D
Reserve?

[frigid finch]

safes i think...i didnt find all 3 until level 32 lol

[robust robin]

Dorms safes have given me tons

[bright rune]

Oh, that one is rly nice ^^

[undone flower]

Not a lot.

Around 2-3 mill in barters

See What people require for a yellow, you might find a good offer

[frigid finch]

is there an auto walk butt0on

[undone flower]

No

[proven saddle]

mans looking for gas ans bro. you cant say not a lot lol

[undone flower]

In barters?

It is in fact not a lot

[radiant maple]

i looked on the internet it said 35 mil tf

[proven saddle]

fair point

[proven saddle]

yellow never was that expensive

[undone flower]

Lmao, no.

Try and post it for that and see the fees, you can probably Average 100k from Yellow.

If not less.

That’s 30 labs raid to just make the 3 mill back

Without counting keycard, death etc.

[proven saddle]

you can get 8 ledx for it

or 11 gpus

those are the only worth ones up right now

[undone flower]

Just take the 8 LedX

[proven saddle]

idk what you do with 8 ledx

but hey

[undone flower]

Keep one for med station 3, and sell the rest

[lethal ember]

how do u do the raiders quest? theres always like 5 pmcs there

[undone flower]

300k each

[undone flower]

Kill the pmcs aswell

[radiant maple]

this some troll

[proven saddle]

ainnt nobody paying that shit

[radiant maple]

lmao i was like tf

[proven saddle]

also do you even have 11 mil to list it?

[undone flower]

Don’t trust tarkov Market on items you can’t check yourself.

If they’re up for barters it chooses some random price

[bright rune]

Is it worth to do it? cuz of -0.05 prapor and -0.02 thera

[undone flower]

Yes

[proven saddle]

yes

[bright rune]

Which pistol is good for it? :D

[proven saddle]

youre gonna be drowning in rep for those 2 later on

[proven saddle]

anything. youre gonna have to tap heads regardless

[bright rune]

Ill just go on factory with just pistol then i guess

[proven saddle]

yup

i like the glock

some people dont

try em out, see what you like

[bright rune]

Aight, ty ^^

[undone flower]

Just do normal tasks while using a pistol 🤷‍♂️

That’s How you stack tasks

[proven saddle]

not stirrup

fuck that

i wanna see you kill 3 people with a glock on woods

[undone flower]

If you know how to position, it’s easy

Did mine on Customs this wipe tho

[proven saddle]

and if they dont spot you first

[undone flower]

When Crackhouse was poppin

[proven saddle]

i did it day 2 of wipe and it was ez af on factory

took me 2 raids

[bright rune]

But im new, i dont know anything haha

[undone flower]

That’s 2 raids you couldn’t do other tasks

[proven saddle]

people wear armor now so it'd be a bit harder

[undone flower]

Gotta learn pvp somehow

[proven saddle]

oh no my 10 mins

2 factory raids

[bright rune]

xD

[undone flower]

I don’t think you get the point

[proven saddle]

i get the point

its not always best to pair quests up

those 10 mins wont hurt you in the long run and not doing it will save you some sanity

[undone flower]

The faster you get better traders, the easier it is to build money up and get better gear.

Why do it on Factory, if you can do it on other maps, with an even bigger advantage

It’s about getting the “stack tasks” mindset, that’s How people got lvl 63 already

No reason to learn new players not to do the smartest thing in this game…

[proven saddle]

getting to level 63 in a month is mostly bad. wtf are you going to do after?

[undone flower]

That wasn’t my point.

[proven saddle]

i know

but mega optimizing everything is just as bad as not optimizing anything

i took it extra slow this wipe and its absolutely amazing

first wipe ive played more than a month lol

[brittle canyon]

work on lightkeeper because he's the biggest fucking timesink of the century

[proven saddle]

yeah no

ill pass

[undone flower]

A new player will never hit lvl 63 in a month.

He will die a lot more, but he will have a bigger chance of surviving as he’ll get traders fasters.

[brittle canyon]

and or have fun pvping with infinite money and top gear

[undone flower]

That’s the point with lightkeeper. He is the last thing you’ll do in this game

[proven saddle]

to me it feels like creative mode in minecraft. you have fun for a bit but it gets stale real quick

[undone flower]

Then you don’t enjoy pvp

[proven saddle]

i do

i do when i actually care about my gear

you can only shift W so many times

[undone flower]

My point wasn’t to powerlevel and get 63 in a month.

My point was that why teach a new guy to do one task at a time?

He will find the game way more annoying and slow. Which makes them quit

[proven saddle]

no, only if they're like you

if theyre like me they'll enoy taking it slow

i realize how that sounds, wasnt meant as an insult

just different types of gamers

[bright rune]

I also enjoy it that way

[proven saddle]

yeah see?

be aware you CAN pair em up, you dont have to tho

if you think youll enjoy going factory and tapping heads with a glock then do that shit

doesnt matter if its not optimal

[bright rune]

Maybe next wipe i focus on doing quests more efficient and not 1 by 1.
But atm i find it hard to combine quests and prefer to focus on 1 or maybe 2 if i can combine them easily

[onyx turtle]

hello i already end my raid but the game say my char still in the raid

[proven saddle]

what happens if you reconnect?

[undone flower]

Bug.

Join again and extract

[onyx turtle]

it cant

[undone flower]

Or just wait till time is out

It counted me as extracted

[proven saddle]

that happens? never seen it

[undone flower]

Why do you find it hard?

Lemme see if i can find some of my tips and tricks

Let’s say you have 4 different tasks on lighthouse, kill scavs, Mark tanks, find some folder somewhere and kill pmcs.

What’s hard about doing a bit of everything in one raid?

[proven saddle]

because hes prob not as knowledgeable, he needs to learn maps and stuff

[bright rune]

I just enjoy it more if i do slow but safe progress.
Dont need to be in a hurry

[undone flower]

I have an idea aswell.

But can’t help if i don’t know the exact problem…

[onyx turtle]

can you guys watch my live to see what happen

[undone flower]

Safe?

How new are you, and do you use high tier gear if you have it?

[proven saddle]

exactly!

[bright rune]

Ofc i can combine quests, but f.e. on those quests on custom i dont know where everything is, so i focus on one cuz i dont know the map

[proven saddle]

i know every map like the back of my hand and i still take my damn time

[bright rune]

I play or sell high gear if i get it.

[proven saddle]

well except streets

[undone flower]

Do you have gear fear?

[bright rune]

I just told you that i play gear or sell it. Its not like gear fear :D

[frigid finch]

when you are new, combining quests is a guaranteed way to frustrate yourself....do one quest, extract, then go back in...it will be way faster for you at first

[bright rune]

I like the weapon, so i play it.
I dont like it, so i sell it

[bright rune]

100%

[proven saddle]

gear fear to some extent is good!!! the second you lose that game gets boring

by that i mean care for your gear, not to be scared to use it

[undone flower]

💀

[frigid finch]

approach this game like gambling, you go in with a loadout, expect to lose it, and if you dont, great

[lusty crow]

Yeah I only use loadouts I can buy of traders/flea that way it only costs money.... money is fairly easy to get and I'm not very good still.

[frigid finch]

the most important thing to remember for new players is ignore the fucking meta...getting 1% recoil for an extra 100k rubles will not be the difference in whether you live or die

so make budget weapons...you can make them easily at level 2 traders for like 20% of the price of a meta weapon, that performs about 80% as well

[lusty crow]

Yeah I spend like 130k on a gun t4 rat rig and a nade and I do okay I'd say

Literally got a meta m4 quad noggs t6 armour all of a guy when I had a gornostay and bank robber only

[onyx turtle]

i lost all of my item

it like i never play in that raid

i kill so many scav and pmc

[grand maple]

Why are waiting times so long for lighthouse scav

[proven saddle]

bc everyone is scaving lighthouse

[woeful spruce]

more poeple are scavving lisghthouse then going pmc there lol

[grand maple]

why?

[brittle canyon]

cuz it's easy and profitable

[woeful spruce]

cause its the best scav map, easy high tier loot with low risk, going pmc on lighthouse requires actual work and is dangerous

[frigid finch]

not to mention ive spawned as early as 38 minutes as a scav on lighthouse, its insane

[woeful spruce]

yup, i really dont understand the scav balancing on thet map at all

was it even considered at all?

[frigid finch]

they really should make it so scavs cant spawn until at least 15ish minutes have past

i think the way it works now is the first pmc death, but the spawns are so shit it happens immediately almost every time

[vernal ice]

is it just me who cant find the portable bunkhouse key on flea market?

[proven saddle]

barter only

[zenith tiger]

whats the best way to get stirrup done

[frigid finch]

at this point, it feels like rogue farming is easier in the day then at night

[jade hamlet]

is there a way to attach a scope to a mosin , the one you get without barter

[tough oyster]

are green bats worth something

i remember them used to going for a mil

[dire eagle]

If you get the Sniper variant of the Mosin, you can attach the Kochetov mount from Prapor then the Patriot mount from Jaeger on it.
The sniper variant is available from Prapor 2 though.
The other way is to use the Mosin Infantry (with the 730mm barrel), then replace the rear sight with the Mosin MNG from Jaeger 1, this should allow you some selection of scopes, but I dont think you have many magnification options

[dire eagle]

Only used in barters - most notable the one with btc, however I believe selling the things required for that barter individually is worth more than the coin itself (2 green bats + 2 tetriz = 1 btc)

Oh and you need 5 for rest space 3 if you want to save for that

[tough oyster]

didnt they used to be a mil a couple wipes ago?

[quartz wren]

should i upgrade my stash to level 2?

[dire eagle]

In the good old days yeah, now a btc is like 150k

[tough oyster]

hmm whats considered the mil item now

[robust robin]

Yeah when btc was over 1mil

And 600k

[dire eagle]

If not much has changed, moonshine would be best for ledx in the scav case, however I'd just craft it (the ledx) if you really need it for a quest or something

[dire eagle]

Yes, especially if you need the space (which you probably do), it will feel so nice to expand your stash!

[humble tide]

glock 18c factory, done in two raids

[robust robin]

I used the revolver but thats probably not a good idea anymore

Five seven is prolly the best if you have pk3

[dire eagle]

You can produce it in the booze generator - sometimes you'll profit from the scav case through this, sometimes not.
Best is if you can produce the purified water you need too - and stocking up on sugar you find will soften the blow as well

[robust robin]

Keep fir sugar and sell when it hits like 60k, buy sugar for moonshine in the meantime

And you can use it for energy too

[atomic trail]

sugars for flir toooo

[lethal heath]

Ledx

[south wave]

I need help on how to position myself correctly on maps to avoid over exposing

[tough oyster]

How soon can you get NVGs?

Really wanna do night woods

[robust robin]

And those waters you can drink down too, and also for m1 barter

[robust robin]

Get right hand peeks whenever possible is the biggest factor

[south wave]

I see

[lethal heath]

Not staying in the same place if you make noise like shooting people etc

[south wave]

Yeah

[robust robin]

Did he have any good cards, t6 rig?

[shell hull]

yo im curious whats the difference between PP and BP 5.45 on ballistics chart its literally the same

[lethal heath]

Anyone got tips for punisher 4

I’m so close to buying bt ammo

I was thinking shot gun cos of the small space in the vest

[terse wedge]

i used a bolty and got a couple sbih at the same time. just sit on a rock and wait for ppl or go to resort.

[shell hull]

yea BP is basically fancy PP for 200 extra roubles

[lethal heath]

Could work actually thanks

[formal aspen]

will i lose these if i die?

[lethal heath]

What bullets in the mags

[lethal heath]

No

[terse wedge]

no

[formal aspen]

do i need to have all 4 on me to do the quest?

[jade hamlet]

hey when will prapor go lvl 2 for me i did his 2 tasks convoy woods usec camp so thats one and shotguns one thats 2 now the bronze watch any ideas

[terse wedge]

if theres 4 things you need to mark, no, you can do it in seperate raids.

[jade hamlet]

and how do you increase youe lvl is it by only doing tasks

[spring cedar]

Anyone able to help me get some fir salwa's? I haven't been able to find any this wipe

[fathom ocean]

I suggest jaeger tasks because they’re easy to complete to get to lvl 15

[fathom ocean]

scav camp on woods got hella

[spring cedar]

I've hit there constantly, either I'm to late amd it's cleared or i get nothing

[sonic herald]

7 minutes.... 7 minutes any map is not a run through

[spring cedar]

Yeah, kinda pissed I can't progress with therapist's quests till I find them

[fathom ocean]

you must’ve not gotten a good spawn I usually find them there

[terse wedge]

scav resort or streets for salewas

[spring cedar]

I'm going in again now so here's hoping

[terse wedge]

ppl that run resort and streets never pick them up

[fathom ocean]

just try to collect the future task items too so when you get to the task you already have them

[sonic herald]

anybody want to do the quest "your car needs a service" ?

[stuck lichen]

Is it worth picking up an item case?

[thin plank]

why does it say "can't install hexagon and ak 102 at the same time" when I try to install

[dawn geyser]

Not compatible

[thin plank]

it says it is though

[dawn geyser]

Did you take off the gas block?

[stuck lichen]

interesting, thanks for those pictures, makes it a lot easier to visualize how much space you get. Is it worth it to store rigs in? that's mainly what I want it for

[thin plank]

no, but when i do it is still incompatible

is there a specific gas block needed for the hex thing?

[dawn geyser]

Idk, says pretty clear to me they're not compat

[stuck lichen]

sorry I meant armored rigs and body armor, that's what's taking up most of the space in my stash right now

though it seems like you could easily fit quite a few into those beta backpacks

[thin plank]

i saw a vid where it was on the 101 as well

[dawn geyser]

Can you send the inspect view of 102

[thin plank]

the modding view?

[dawn geyser]

Inspect view

lol

Right click inspect

Or double click

[dawn geyser]

Oh it's nekkid

[thin plank]

butt booty naked and it wont fit

yeah

[dawn geyser]

Sec

Might be the gas block

[thin plank]

the hex fits on the block

[dawn geyser]

Yeah

[thin plank]

but doesnt fit on the gun when i put it on

[dawn geyser]

No.

Gas block.

[thin plank]

rip game

[dawn geyser]

I'll check when I get home

lol

[thin plank]

thanks c:

[terse wedge]

cant put it on the 102

[edgy plover]

Use the edit preset option - you cannot use hexagon with 102

[bold kernel]

should i use 5.45x39mm T gs or 5.45x39mm PRS gs

[terse wedge]

need to use the 101

[dire eagle]

Then part of the issue here is that the Hexagon says it has compatibility with the 102 when it actually doesn't, creating this confusion
Display bug perhaps? Not sure how the game actually checks for compatibility between parts/weapons

[thin plank]

okay thank you

[dire eagle]

T can reliably go through class 2 armour while PRS cant, so Id pick T between the 2.
But I'd strongly suggest using PS, PP or BP (or better) in that order if you have access to them instead

[bold kernel]

ok thanks

[warm nebula]

bro tf is this i just tried to do the bronze pocket watch task

and it took my key and i didnt get my task

[dire eagle]

That key is only 1 use. You need to physically pick up the watch in the truck, then survive with it. If you die with it you gotta do it again

[edgy plover]

Where are you seeing it suggest the hexagon is compatible with the 102?

[dire eagle]

Scroll up to where tz posted a sc off it, it shows

[brittle canyon]

102 104 105 are short and can’t fit the long thing

[thin plank]

you might be scavving

i had the same problem

[terse wedge]

says right on the wiki, conflicting items.

[thin plank]

did you get the key as scav?

[edgy plover]

I see it shows compatibility with a gas block, not the 102

[warm nebula]

no it was pmc

[thin plank]

ah makes snese

[warm nebula]

even if its in my secure contaner?

[thin plank]

still dumb it says compatible with 102

[edgy plover]

It doesn’t

[thin plank]

it do

[edgy plover]

Just because the gas block is, not every hand guard that can go on that gas block is

[pulsar sail]

Anyone know where the first control board for farming part 1 is I got that one and now and I keep dying trying to either use it if it the right spot or just not finding it

[edgy plover]

There’s nowhere it says the hexagon can mount on the 102

[dire eagle]

This is where the confusion comes from. Im NOT saying its correct that its meant to be compatible, I AM saying that displaying compatibility like this can be confusing

[terse wedge]

one in hallway and one by the trailer on the wall by hallway spawn

[pulsar sail]

The one with the big glass windows on the left?

[thin plank]

ah okay]

so what AKs is it compatible with?

[terse wedge]

https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Farming_-_Part_1

[edgy plover]

Ohh, totally missed that, sorry

[frigid finch]

nighthouse is still too easy lol

[pulsar sail]

Thank you

[dire eagle]

All good. I'm now just curious as to why it would display that in the first place? Maybe it was compatible before but the devs just forgot to remove the text saying so? The dev in me needs to know now

[terse wedge]

Is it saying that with the gas block still on the gun or off

[dire eagle]

@thin plank got some insight on that?^

[dense bison]

What’s the best gun you can get with level 1 traders just to have a fighting chance?

[terse wedge]

Sks or mosin

I would go with a mosin to get used to boltys, gonna be using them a lot for jaeger.

Plus lvl sniper skill

[fathom ocean]

vpo cheaper

and can put most sights on it too

[terse wedge]

True. Idk about using it without apm though.

[fathom ocean]

yeah it’s worth a try it’s all about what he’s comfortable with

[dire eagle]

Tz did say he could put the hexgrid on the block, but then couldnt put that on the gun - and he couldnt put the hexgrid on the gun when the block was on.
So I'd assume the sc was taken when the block was on the gun, and as the hexgrid can go on the block, but not while on the 102, the game got confused and said its compatible with the 102 simply because the thing it goes on is on the 102 - if that made any sense at all lol

[brittle canyon]

sks if you have ps, mosin if you need pen, shotguns

and also anything you find with any decent ammo you find

scavenging is a big part of trader 1 struggle

[terse wedge]

Yeah i was thinking the game checks compatability on parts before the actual gun.

[dire eagle]

Seems like it - good to know

[carmine oxide]

How many hs needed to kill a rogue ?

[terse wedge]

1

Rogues have 40 head hp though so make sure you arent using shit ammo.

[carmine oxide]

PS should do the job right ?

[terse wedge]

Yup.

[thin plank]

yes yes. thank you very much for the help

[dire eagle]

Yeah sry for the ping, was just wondering about something at the time
Np, glad we could get to the bottom of the issue

[primal yacht]

my best scav run oat

[bright grail]

Best map to try and find USBs??

[terse wedge]

reserve filing cabinets or streets filing cabinets.

[primal yacht]

safes

[terse wedge]

or do you mean usb As

[bright grail]

Flash Drive task

[terse wedge]

filing cabinets and safes.

scav run reserve or streets etc

[coral thistle]

anyone got a screenshot of what injectors to always keep on you character?

[bright grail]

Wheres all the filing cabinets? I've searched the 2 buildings at Dome and the one at the helicopter (to the right if you look from drop down window)

[terse wedge]

i run 2x prop, 1x sj6, trim, mule, 2x zag, etg + whatever

[coral thistle]

thx 😄

[brittle canyon]

prop or morphine in pocket
pnb ahf1 meldonin sj6 etg mule sj12

remaining 2 slots can be extra morphine or whatever

[coral thistle]

tyty

[whole thistle]

Woods is pretty good

There's 1 or 2 safes in sawmill and a set spawn with a decent chance for flash drives at shturmans spawn

[woeful spruce]

I personally recomend shoreline safe route, its a bit dangerous but you can hit like 5 safes in 1 run

[bright grail]

You need any keys?

[cobalt bolt]

why is M855 cheaper than M856, even though it's acording to balistics on wiki better?

[whole thistle]

Because tarkov

[cobalt bolt]

so is m855 better?

[whole thistle]

Yes

[woeful spruce]

Nope, if you have the cottage key and cottage safe key you have 2 bonus safes

[cobalt bolt]

oki

[bright grail]

respect broo

[brittle canyon]

because the pyrotechnic compounds to create the tracer effect is more expensive
