ok

should i sell this?

[scarlet raven]

28.9 isn’t impossible to work with. Tarkov it’s not about “am I overweight” so much as “how overweight am I?”

[scarlet raven]

Sell to jaeger

Keep the intelligence

[bold kernel]

ok

[scarlet raven]

For intelligence center

[bold kernel]

should i just keep this?

the rigs

[scarlet raven]

What

Oh sure

The duffel and t bag you could maybe lose

And do you have items in your backpacks? If not, bag bag them

[bold kernel]

where can i find cans of beef stew large i never find it

[scarlet raven]

Goshan

[bold kernel]

i have vest and headset

in bags

[bold kernel]

I'm wondering if I should just wear T3/T4 gear and use normal, 100k max worth weapons until I level up strength?
I don't like moving around so slowly 😦

[scarlet raven]

Go scav run on interchange, in goshan, the big back middle store you can get all kinds of food so easily

[bold kernel]

ok

[limber belfry]

goshan or a ration box

[scarlet raven]

The rig is definitely a lot of what’s weighing you down, that things just heavy, no way around it

You can inspect all your gear and check the weight. Just remember backpacks and rigs weight is also all the stuff inside of them

[bold kernel]

is there a place i can see what to keep for taks becuse i got a lot of junk

[scarlet raven]

Tarkov-tracker.I’m

.io*

[fair iris]

any tips for signals part 1? i am ripping my hair out from 2 days of atttempts lol. last wipe i did it in 2 separate tries but now you have to do it in 1 run.

[scarlet raven]

If you input your level and tick off all the tasks and hideout stuff you’ve already done, it’ll show you a list of everything you currently need as well as the things you will need soon, for both hideout and tasks

[hazy veldt]

get friends, go at night.

[primal yacht]

Does the ak-74m count for punusher part 1

[scarlet raven]

Also holy shit please buy a lucky scav junk box

Your first priority should be saving up 1.1mil so you can buy junk box from therapist

[primal yacht]

Ty

[bold kernel]

i have generator, Workshop, Lights, Medical Stasion, restspace,security,stash max level

[scarlet raven]

Put it in the website not here😂

Tarkov-tracker.io

[bold kernel]

oh

[scarlet raven]

You don’t need an account or anything, it will keep track of you with cookies

Just input your level and take a few minutes to mark off the quests you’ve already finished and what hideout stuff you have built so far

[fair iris]

Wilco, thanks for the advice

[misty marsh]

Can anyone recommend me a low recoil build sub level 20? All my builds turn out 120k+ with horrible recoil

[pliant echo]

can any1 help me with getting jeager

[daring lily]

does any1 know if you need to keep the transmitter out while on the lighthouse island or just until you get through the door of the gate?

[quiet lagoon]

without leveling traders its gonna be difficult to get low recoil on any of the guns for "cheap", but even then you are spending 150-200k to get good recoil stats + suppressor

[quiet lagoon]

ive seen people run around lighthouse with their guns out after talking to lightkeeper but its been a while since I saw that it could have changed

[maiden prairie]

if someone could help me with optimizing video and possibly sound settings that would be awesome

[stuck lichen]

Any tips on ammo progression? I just unlocked all level 3 traders but I'm not sure what the next step should be. I'm about to get 5.45 BT but I've heard m586 is nearly as good for a fraction of the price

[lone shard]

scav village on woods/RUAF camp on woods is my favorite place to do those quests

so much food loot/moonshine spawns frequently

also, anyone able to help with Delivery from the Past? im level 15 and would like to do it at night, still gotta go to customs for it

[kindred grotto]

go at night and afk for like 20 mins at the start of the raid lol

[lone shard]

wish this worked on factory

[boreal helm]

Hey guys I’m having an issue with reliably killing scavs/low armor pmc’s, one round I even put a full mag of .45ACP to the face and chest and it still didn’t kill him? Any recommendations?

[kindred grotto]

Factory is rather easy tbf

[lone shard]

that map is the bane of my existence

[lone shard]

legs

[kindred grotto]

If you spawn hallway or near gate 3 just run to the place where you need to hide it

ez

[lone shard]

so true

[boreal helm]

Like aim for the legs? It seems like whenever I shoot them in the legs it just pisses them off and I get shot in the head

[lone shard]

if youre using high flesh damage ammo, you should be able to kill them before they get the chance to aim back

im assuming youre using an smg with .45 ?

[boreal helm]

I’m still learning the different ammo types, and no it was a 1911 from point blank distance

[lone shard]

oh yeah thatll do it

[boreal helm]

Is the 1911 not a good pistol? Or have I been told some bullshit?

[lone shard]

i personally don’t use pistols unless i need to for a task

like stirrup

so i don’t know if it’s “good” or not as far as pistols go

[boreal helm]

I was just trying to do a poverty run for quick loot, seen a scav and put 8 rounds into him and it didn’t even make him run

[lone shard]

best bet for poor runs

grab a double barrel with magnum if you can from jaeger, if not use 7.5 mill

[thin plank]

if you turn in chemical part 4 to a trader, do you lose 0.25 rep with other traders?

[bold kernel]

can someone show me where I am atm on woods map and which direction im facing?

[boreal helm]

Are there different types of ammo for the 1911?

[lone shard]

it’s like 9k total and if you put it in double tap mode and aim for the legs it insta kills 90% of normal scavs

[lone shard]

yes

[boreal helm]

Who sells the 1911 ammo?

[lone shard]

you’re on the south side of scav village, east part of the map looking north

[bold kernel]

ty

[lone shard]

there’s a btc spawn under the little pier to the right of the house to check

[lone shard]

looks like peacekeeper does, but i’m not totally sure, i don use .45 normally

[boreal helm]

Okay, I’m gonna see if I switch up ammo types if it’ll keep me from getting killed so often

Because I hit all my shots but it never puts them down

[lone shard]

there’s a bunch of ammo graph sites that show you bullet pen and stuff like that

some ammo won’t even pen class 1 armor

[boreal helm]

I’ll look them up when I get home, I would’ve thought 8 fmj’s to the chest would’ve put them down

[fair iris]

loll i actually just did it by going at night alone and pleading every pmc i saw lol

[kindred grotto]

real

my favorite strat on shit shoreline tasks if im tilted

[fair iris]

lolll

after two days i just couldnt take it anymore

just went paca , sks and fingers crossed

[kindred grotto]

realest thing ive heard today

[median heart]

https://eft-ammo.com/

[stuck lichen]

I've looked at that but it doesn't really help with what guns I should be using at my level. Most of the good ammo requires crafting so I'm just tryin to get an idea of what other people are using

[bold kernel]

thanks dude

you mean this one, right?

[lone shard]

not necessarily, scavving on reserve and checking the surface level nets you a ton of good ammo

[lone shard]

yes that one

also in that house theres a gpu spawn in the room closest to the pier

in that cardboard box

scav village is normally totally uncontested at night, you can typically make it out with 300-400k

[forest field]

i know im down bad lootwise because my bag filled with infinite bags is about to run out

[bold kernel]

bro I am so scared to run SCAV runs with a helm.. every other scav thinks I'm a fcking pmc...

[fervent turret]

I usually pop the helmet in my bag

[bold kernel]

dont have space in bag, from all the Ledx's

[fervent turret]

and take off any pmc-looking masks as well

then drop it I guess? unless you really want it

helmets have never stopped me from getting shot in the face by another scav

[bold kernel]

Neo, is that you?

[scarlet raven]

use voice line f1

or voip

[bold kernel]

yeah im spamming it. Still getting shot most of the times I got a nice helm

[twin nova]

Need help with questing

[mint light]

hi

[surreal compass]

hello!

[hybrid mantle]

what is the best place in customs to kill scavs?

[viral saffron]

You could put it in your bag to not show it

[viral saffron]

I find checkpoint/around green screen room very good

And also the unknown courtyard

[fervent turret]

old gas too

[stoic girder]

Haven't seen a single scav at old gas

[viral saffron]

Yeah the one with power switch

They're most likely coming from the courtyard outside

[viral saffron]

They're dead if you don't spawn there

They'll be there again late raid

[fervent turret]

green screen building I think they’re talking about

[viral saffron]

Yeah true mb

[lucid hearth]

whats the best map to scav

[viral saffron]

depends on who you ask

I like woods

[bleak jacinth]

how good is this gun? Got it off some poor timmy that probably got it from a crare

crate

[viral saffron]

I have a very consistent stash run

[viral saffron]

Good, with the right ammo

[bleak jacinth]

ofc ofc ammo is most important

thanks

[lucid hearth]

can you teach me this run? im stuck with 10k roubles and cant survive on scav

[viral saffron]

I'll draw you a map once im out of this raid

[lucid hearth]

okay ty

[viral saffron]

Just finished with this stuff

I'll draw you the map now

[stoic girder]

What map

[viral saffron]

Woods

[lucid hearth]

thank you

[bright rune]

With Trader Level 2, whats a good option for rig+bodyarmor? Still press+zhuk or smt else?

[viral saffron]

This is the run I do when I spawn bottom right side

[viral saffron]

@lucid hearth you can also look church by sunken village, has multiple loose valuable spawns

[lucid hearth]

okay thank you

[viral saffron]

If you don't mind waiting I can take you with me on that route

[lucid hearth]

its alright i got it

thank you

[viral saffron]

👍

[lucid hearth]

do u think its fine to pistol run customs and rush crackhouse to get salewas, im stuck on shortage task for a long time

[viral saffron]

ofc, why not

You don't have to run geared every run

You can just avoid pvp

[lucid hearth]

ive been going with just a pistol and ive attempted it around 15 times and cant survive usually

just need 1 more salewa

[viral saffron]

You could craft it in hideout if you have a car kit

[gloomy valve]

why are beef cans so hard to find q.q

[lucid hearth]

i dont even have med station unlocked yet

[viral saffron]

Small or big ones

[viral saffron]

Ah.

[turbid rover]

how do i sell stuff on flea market for multiple items? im trying to sell my violet plus some other stuff for green card

[viral saffron]

wdym

[turbid rover]

like im trying to sell my violet and some other stuff in one trade for green card on flea

but idk how to add multiple items to one trade

[viral saffron]

So, you wanna get green for your violet + other items?

Or the other way around

[turbid rover]

yes i want green

[viral saffron]

You can't offer 2 different items for one item

[turbid rover]

so there is no way for me to do it

[viral saffron]

Sadly, no

[turbid rover]

how he d oothis?

[viral saffron]

He wants blue + red

For his green

[turbid rover]

oh

[viral saffron]

And just fyi, the violet card, usually drops price over the wipe

[turbid rover]

alright what can i sell it for

[forest field]

bro idk how people see me every time i try hiding

2 times in the same match someone saw me proning in bush

2 different bushes

is there a sniper glare?

[fervent turret]

people check bushes

[forest field]

one of the times i was laying prone watching some guys 100m away and they were fighting and then they randomly look towards me and headshot me twice

[fervent turret]

might have been the bush not rendering for them at range

or were you wearing glasses of some sort?

[pseudo axle]

I’m once again asking for assistance insert Bernie sanders meme I just got eod and want to “git gud” would like to 1v1 a Sherpa or gigachad dad whenever available to improve at Tarky pvp 🙏🏼

[modest citrus]

hello, can anyone help me out? i got basics down but i need help in general

[past river]

what is it you need help with? like what to do next good gun options etc?

[modest citrus]

well i kinda just need a teammate looking for one but just knowing how to shoot and stuff i know how to aim but lining up a good shot is hard

and some other things im probably not knowing of in my gameplay

[past river]

ahh cool, as for finding people to play with there is #pvp-lfg you can use to post for people.

or sherpa hub if you get stuck on quests etc.

??sherpahub

[red current]

https://discord.com/invite/sherpahub

[modest citrus]

ohhh thanks alot

[past river]

as for aim and lining up shots etc like irl there is so much to it, lead time on the target vs distance for bullet drop etc. the game is scarcy deep for things like that. like bullet type matter so much.

but go with the thought of "the only bad question, is the one not asked" as usually you will get a reply in here if you want load out suggestions or tips and trick etc

[past river]

np man and welcome to the suck

[modest citrus]

haha

[past river]

oh also dont do hatchett runs. you get tagged and cursed so scavs activly hunt you down

[compact flicker]

how come i load in before my friend in a raid and he takes forever and just gets disconnected

[dawn geyser]

Ping / VPN / Rig

Could be a plethora of things.

[past river]

playing across the big pond etc (eu and us players)

[compact flicker]

i mean were both in the us on us only servers

[past river]

thats the usual issue like players in aus trying to play on servers with there eu budies etc

[past river]

is it random or consistant?

as if its every raid id be inclined to say its somthing client side not bsg end

[compact flicker]

werve maybe had like 2 raid were we loaded in together but thats it'

same goes with scaving

[past river]

assume he doesnt use a vpn etc? i mean like Awacs said its potentioly so many things. but if its constant id look at client side stuff like his connection, checking file integrity get him to try a few solo raids etc see if it still happens. basicaly trial by error

im no tech whizz though by a long shot

[sinful vale]

why cant i list it, I have 900k roubles

[compact flicker]

same here we can load into factory together but thats it

[past river]

do you both use auto select for servers?

[gilded shuttle]

@compact flicker

[past river]

tried restarting ? as feck knows aside maybe it just bugged if you have 900k

[dawn geyser]

Are you sure

[gilded shuttle]

i have the same problem

[sinful vale]

i did restart

[compact flicker]

no we like picked all of the us but just not south

U.S.

[sinful vale]

yeah im sure im not broke

[past river]

try selecting the top 3

[gilded shuttle]

@compact flicker The only solution to this problem is to use vpn, or you should change the internet provider.

[past river]

as could be pushing you into a higher ping server as a duo due to however it match makes etc

[compact flicker]

it just dosnt make sense cause if i play with someone from here it works just fine

[past river]

then yeah its defo his end. like grim suggested try a vpn

[compact flicker]

but with my friend it dosnt

[past river]

or get him to

[dawn geyser]

When he plays solo, is he fine?

[dawn geyser]

Take a full screenshot lol

[sinful vale]

haha oka

[signal vault]

anyone experience a bug where your pmc keeps running in a direction even though a key isn't being held?

[compact flicker]

idk i dont think hes ever played one solo

[dawn geyser]

Oh, so he's never had a successful connection lol

[compact flicker]

propably not

[dawn geyser]

What part is he stuck on? What error does he get?

[gilded shuttle]

@compact flicker I can recommend "proton" as a free vpn, just try

[compact flicker]

ive never used one

[sinful vale]

definitely have enough for the fee :/

still error 1502 - "ur broke"

[dawn geyser]

.. That's..

Have you already restarted your game?

[sinful vale]

yeah twice

[dawn geyser]

[sinful vale]

maybe ill just eat it...

[dawn geyser]

Can you list anything else?

[past river]

thats for sure a wtf turkurv moment

[sinful vale]

yeah

wait

[compact flicker]

is proton good to use for vpn??

[dawn geyser]

It's just the humpback?

LOL

[sinful vale]

mhmm

[dawn geyser]

Eat that sucka

[sinful vale]

im not even hungry..

[dawn geyser]

Show them what happens to items who bug out

[past river]

not sure i never used it, just nord but switch it off when i play

[sinful vale]

haha yeah

tbh ive eaten too much shit when im 100/100 on accident anyway

no diff here

[dawn geyser]

lol

[dawn geyser]

Nord won't let me play Tarkov with it running

[compact flicker]

send the link?

[dawn geyser]

It no likey.

[sinful vale]

baccy works

[dawn geyser]

lmao that's odd

[gilded shuttle]

i send the private channel

[dawn geyser]

I have zero clue

[compact flicker]

okat thjanks

[gilded shuttle]

Np

[dawn geyser]

Just a tiny warning, free VPNs I do not really trust

I have not used them, but it just doesn't sit well with me.

[compact flicker]

yeah im kinds warry too

[sinful vale]

pretty sure the free ones collect all of ur data

noticed before with some throwaways where the ads change instantly after a search or sum

[dawn geyser]

Maybe not all of them, but I'm sure a good amount of them do

Gotta have a reason to give it out for free

=p

[compact flicker]

im reading about it on reddit on people are saying its good if ur not using for private stuff

[dawn geyser]

Sure, but how often are you going to remember not to type in your password while on VPN

Not access your social media

[compact flicker]

i dont use social media on my pc

litterally only for gamming

[dawn geyser]

I mean feel free to use it, It's just inadvisable from my POV

[stable island]

what maps the best to scav on to get good amo

[bright rune]

Is the drd body armor better than press?

[dawn geyser]

DRD is T2, Press is T3

[old flume]

hmm

[sinful vale]

brings a tear to my eye

[dawn geyser]

How did you do it

Inform us of your success

[sinful vale]

i think by tidying my stash it was satisfied 🤷🏼‍♂️

[dawn geyser]

lol

[sinful vale]

and i let it think ab its choices in a g2 gunslinger for a bit

oh wait

it wasnt the same humpback

[dawn geyser]

rofl

[sinful vale]

bruh

[dawn geyser]

Just eat it man

[sinful vale]

im attached now :/

dumbass thing

[snow jewel]

put the humpback into ur gamma

carry it everywhere

show it the world

[sinful vale]

good idea

[robust jasper]

Hi guys, noob question. If i play as a scav and a scav player shoots me first and i kill him after will i lose rep?

[bright rune]

DRD is armor class 3 isnt it?

[dawn geyser]

Not that I remember

Oh

[sinful vale]

they have to hit you before u can kill them

[dawn geyser]

Huh.

Cool

[sinful vale]

otherwise u will lose rep

[dawn geyser]

I stand corrected

[bright rune]

So its same as zhuk?

[violet crystal]

pretty much but it sells for a high amount to fence

[dawn geyser]

Nah

DRD has much higher effective durability because of Armor material

[viscid siren]

alright im newer than new but i killed 2 dudes got their loot and dog tags but the healing process is confusing.

[dawn geyser]

What's the question?

[viscid siren]

can any explain how healing works cuz

[bright rune]

So is it better? xD

[dawn geyser]

DRD has a much higher effective durability

DRD is better

[dawn geyser]

https://www.escapefromtarkov.com/support/knowledge/442#:~:text=The only way to heal,body parts%3A Head and Thorax.

[robust jasper]

You sure? I just lost rep like that

[viscid siren]

alright

also how do i find the exit

do i wait a certain amount of time ingame

[past river]

8mins or 250xp (xp lets you exfill before the 8 mins) i believe to not get a run through

[robust jasper]

Was it a bug? Or do i lose rep when killing a scav player that tagged me first

[viscid siren]

hoiw do i find it though

[dapper epoch]

How do I unfold my bipod

[past river]

could be a little soooner but i allways wait for around 8 mins and am fine

[viscid siren]

map doesnt show anything

[past river]

triple tap O and the list will come up, then use maps on tarkov wiki etc or mapgenie on your mobile

in game maps need to be marked by you

[viscid siren]

i see ill download map genie

[past river]

car exfills cost and take 60seconds (can leave hide and return in the last 5 seconds etc)

but they boost your fence rep (0.25 first time then half each following time)

[bold kernel]

Hi guys! I’m buying the game after work today cause my boss and 2 of my brothers all love the game. What should I expect on my very first drop in this game? I have played Marauders for a whole wipe now and have an IDEA of how it might go

[past river]

id spend a good hour or so using practice mode to lean the gun play (factory set to horde) and then also to learn maps and ex-fills (which ever map you have quests on)

[bright rune]

Do you prefer ComTac2 or M32?

[past river]

aside that expect to die

alot

comtac 2

[sinful vale]

whats the value of slick

[bold kernel]

Oh ok ok, so kinda like Marauders. You’ll die a lot of times early until you know the patterns, ex-fills, etc then you’ll survive more and more?

[past river]

yep

[bold kernel]

Cool!

[analog vine]

On sights like xps, romeo, uh-1 Sighting range 200 vs 300 or 400, is that how much you "zoom" in ?

so higher is better?

[past river]

no its "effective range" so visability is acceptable through it upto insert distance the item name shows its zoom 1-4x30mm is 1 to 4 zoom power that can be toggled 6x is a fixed 6 x magnification

like 300 is its optimale siting range or somthing like that

[tough oyster]

What's the cheapest lvl5 armour

[thorn arch]

[leaden aspen]

What happens when my ammo on workbench still needs 10 hours to finish with crafting but my fuel runs out in the process? does the crafting get cancelled or just paused?

[kindred grotto]

the craft keeps going but with a increased time

[woven summit]

no nightvision

[kindred grotto]

you dont need

[leaden aspen]

is it worth it? cause i dont wanna waste a lot of fuel cause i cant stop generator in night

and tanks are 100k on flee right now

[kindred grotto]

it takes like 7 days

if youre down to wait that long go for it

[leaden aspen]

[plucky cliff]

Unless the wiki is incomplete there aren't any streamers with two items https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Easter_eggs_and_References#Content_Creator_Items

[snow jewel]

[tribal bloom]

[shut umbra]

luckily crack aint too bad
its bottom left doesnt cover too much

Does anyone ave a Customs office key or 2 green tea + 1 cracker willing to trade me?
im soft locked and i give up...

[high crescent]

what do u mean soft lock

just go scav boi

[tribal bloom]

u can nevre be soft locked lol

[high crescent]

i think he just means stuck on the quest like it matters or something t

[chilly wolf]

better to get mp5s or ump45

[shut umbra]

i am
im broke and underlevelled lmao

[shut umbra]

ump arguably better

[tribal bloom]

im literally the same level as you

i have 2 mil and 8mil in kits

just run lighthouse and scavenge if you dont have any good gear

[high crescent]

[formal vigil]

[tribal bloom]

im tryna find a splint first lmao im missing a leg

[quick otter]

he

hows

[quick otter]

wont i just get destoryed with people with good kit

[tribal bloom]

like i said

scavenge lighthouse

thats an easy way to get good gear as a low level

[snow jewel]

don't push every gunfight

the loot you find is better than the kits you find

[high crescent]

that’s no fun tho i wanna get better

[tribal bloom]

well if you know youre undergeared

just take the higher chance of surviving

best thing to do in tarkov is survive a raid

[snow jewel]

push gunfights when you get level 15

[tribal bloom]

once you can do that with confidence then start pushing fights

[snow jewel]

then you can make actual guns

[tribal bloom]

and pick your fights

[high crescent]

i’m level 24 i do make guns

[snow jewel]

I never knew lols

[high crescent]

i pick every fight because dopamine from winning > dying

[quick otter]

i dont they come to me tbh 😦

[snow jewel]

then make a few nice m4s and run at em

[quick otter]

sometimes i just get silentyl shot and die

[high crescent]

m4 lotta money that i don’t got i’ll just use my magnum buck

[high venture]

ill give someone a free usec armor if they help me cheese this jaegar quest

[snow jewel]

free usec armor?

[quick otter]

alr ima run lighthouse

[quick otter]

[snow jewel]

[high crescent]

[terse wedge]

known bug already

[snow jewel]

trooper + slick overrated af

[high crescent]

nah troopers dope i just wish they made a bear version

[snow jewel]

troopers don't protect tummy

[high crescent]

i haven’t touched a trooper armor since i lost mine

i get shot n in the face anyways that doesn’t matter to me

[snow jewel]

fair 🤣

[quick otter]

?

lighthouse kit?

[high crescent]

that’s why i don’t run 400k kits anymore i just grab shotgun and go

[quick otter]

or just shotgun

[snow jewel]

slicks can tank multiple shots with no problem, but you also die to 1 tummy shot

[high crescent]

tfw 400k is a lot to u

[snow jewel]

please show the kit lmfao

[quick otter]

you know what i mean

[snow jewel]

also why sas in alpha?

[quick otter]

i dont know tbh

[snow jewel]

take it out lol

[quick otter]

anyway

ik

should i just run a shotgun?

[high venture]

@quick otterbro what is that adar lmao

[quick otter]

idk

found it on scav and repaired it lol

[snow jewel]

bigger rig, more mags, and bring a salewa, put the calok in pocket

[open hedge]

You can use the reply function to add context to your messages

[snow jewel]

also wear like a paca and a ratnik, you need some protection

[high venture]

yes i know sir

[quick otter]

better?

[snow jewel]

improving, still need armor tho

and some cans :)

[quick otter]

im just running lighthouse for loot tbh is this what you would take

[snow jewel]

is still wear paca, it's only 9k and you can throw it away if you find somethin better

[quick otter]

k

[open hedge]

A Paca is 30k

29k and effectively does nothing

[snow jewel]

barter is 9k

[open hedge]

If flea yes

[snow jewel]

fence often got the lil face covering too

[quick otter]

first lighthouse run this wipe

[lucid hearth]

im level 9 should i sell fierce blow sledge or use it on defective wall

[snow jewel]

use it

no point in selling lol

[lucid hearth]

80k

[quick otter]

should i not go near the rogues

not worth it

you will be buying it later

[snow jewel]

only 80k, barely helps you in the long run

[quick otter]

^

[lucid hearth]

what about all the future penalties it says

[snow jewel]

u got stuff to upgrade the wall? then don't worry about those

[quick otter]

^ mono?

[bold kernel]

does ANYONE have a good suggestion on where to better find this piece? random person has it on flea for a found in raid part only?

[snow jewel]

considering the loot you got, probably not haha

[snow jewel]

what's the part?

[bold kernel]

the one in the screenshot

legit only 1 on flea and they want a barter item lol

[snow jewel]

no no, what part does he want?

[open hedge]

It’s gunsmith item

[lucid hearth]

i dont think i have anything to upgrade the wall

[open hedge]

So no you will not get it for cheap

You get it at pk4

[quick otter]

should i run stashges?

[open hedge]

Or you find it

[quick otter]

or just look around alot

[snow jewel]

just keep, it's worth keeping

[snow jewel]

yurrr stashes always got goodies

[mint light]

skeedle deedle

[quick otter]

kk

[cyan vector]

what tier 5 is best price / dura / repairability?

i usually run a korund but friend tell me i would be better off with ghzel

[open hedge]

Gzhel is better but doesn’t repair

Korund is downright awful to use because it will only stop 1-2 rounds of even weak ammo

[mint light]

gzhel is so fire

i want to marry the gzhel

[open hedge]

The good repairable armors are not very accessible

Like cpc

And plateframe

[cyan vector]

cpc is the 50 dure thorax only right?

[open hedge]

60

[cyan vector]

oh the rigs i understand

[open hedge]

Hpc is what you think of its good

Just forgot it existed

[hybrid mantle]

is it worth saving the streamer items for fence quests or should i just sell them? im only lvl 4

[open hedge]

Hpc is kinda overpriced

[cyan vector]

so for stomach pretty much the bang for the buck is gzhel?

[open hedge]

But if found it’s good

[open hedge]

Yes

But it doesn’t repair so you gotta buy them a lot

[mint light]

thoughts on chiraq

[open hedge]

But the Gzhel is honestly so bad you’re better off with high tier class 4

[cyan vector]

what about forts? If I can buy the freely

[mint light]

if u wear the tv110 you are invincible

[open hedge]

The reduts after buff are actually very good

The full redut is the strongest class 5 in the game

And the mini one is still one of the best

[mint light]

reddit armor

[cyan vector]

this also applies to the gen4s?

[mint light]

the reddit

[cyan vector]

after the buffs

[open hedge]

Gen4 mobility and full are solid with medium repair and durability making them pretty solid

But they are a jack of all trades master of bone

Sacrifices durability for a bit better repair then stuff like redut

[cyan vector]

yeah also got pissed today being 3 tapped to stomach wearing a korund from m855a1

[open hedge]

But still isn’t the best

The gen4 assault isn’t amazing though

[cyan vector]

tier 6 is basically hexgrid / slick right?

[open hedge]

Don’t use it. It tries to be the middle ground between full and mobility kit but just kinda ends up worse than both

[open hedge]

With the new buffs the zabrelo and Thor IC are insanely powerful

And their mobility isn’t awful

Their weight is the only issue now

[cyan vector]

zabralo in my opion takes a massove shit with the 20kg weight

[open hedge]

Yes

It is bulletproof though

Durability buff makes it pretty insane

[quick otter]

i got to extract with some great loot then got shot lol

[snow jewel]

rip

happens to the best of us

[steel flax]

what do i sell and what do i keep, are any of these useful for hideout/tasks

[hardy skiff]

im in canada and my friend is in aussie land will we be able to play together with decent ping if i had a vpn?

[hardy skiff]

all appart from the 2 first rows on the left, not the gas an or psu

diary motor d cleaner

sell

rest keep

[steel flax]

keep bulb and lamps?

[formal vigil]

No

[snow jewel]

yuh

[true trench]

Can someone sherpa my stash? I'm only level 14, first wipe and I keep running into inventory issues. I'm just not sure what I should keep and what I should get rid of. I'm not losing the gear quick enough and I keep coming back with more and more junk. Think I'm developing hoarder issues.

[stone forge]

is there any sunglasses in the game that prevent super novas?

[plucky cliff]

remove mags and pistol grips from guns to make them smaller

[true trench]

k

[quick otter]

not as good as last time bur not bad

but

[steel flax]

why tho

[true trench]

I have no room at this point though. So much crap not sure what to sell.

[steel flax]

how can i get this

i need t ocomplete gunsmith pt1

[quick otter]

flee or find in raid

[snow jewel]

used for upgrades

[quick otter]

never seen the sr2m

is it good i didnt use it as it has no ammo

[thin ivy]

just had my first actually good marked room open in dorms

[plucky cliff]

Look up the items and if you can get them cheap off traders then you can sell them and then buy them back when you need them

[chilly wolf]

should you have eyewear? i feel like i shouldnt stack these?

[true trench]

That's part of the problem most of them I can't I can't even buy bullets. Although I have stacks of them currently. I can't rebuy the armor or helmets. It's got me in a stalemate for the most part.

[chilly wolf]

should i hold any of these

[true trench]

A lot of the mags I can't even rebuy.

[thin ivy]

the only eyewear to keep are condors

[true trench]

Hell I can't even rebuy some of the bags.

Can't rebuy a lot of the bullets even cause I'm so low level.

Ak mags and psh mags I can probably sell.

[unreal imp]

no

[snow jewel]

only welder

[mint light]

what

what is bro finna do

is he finna get an apprenticeship

[snow jewel]

yur

[jaunty fulcrum]

what the fuck a sniper scav killed me in front of lexus building wtf

it was the border sniper

[plucky cliff]

PSO 9x19 and RDGs you can get off prapor lv1

[jaunty fulcrum]

can someone explain

[true trench]

k

Whats an rdg? A grenade?

[chilly wolf]

just because its worth like 25k or does it actualyl help?

[plucky cliff]

even though you dont have flea you can still right click and then filter by item and then it will show you if a trader is selling it

[plucky cliff]

smoke grenade

[snow jewel]

it's supposed to be better against flashbangs, or maybe I'm tripping

[chilly wolf]

oh ye

what about these

[snow jewel]

no advantage

hide ur face tho

[mint light]

just sell

no one uses flashbang they worth 18k to vendor

[chilly wolf]

true that

like i have a lot of zhuks

that are empty i feel like i should sell

[plucky cliff]

Some backpacks and rigs have more space inside than outside so I keep a bunch of those in my stash

[chilly wolf]

any advice? thinkling of selling some of zhuks

like half of them are empty

[analog fulcrum]

sure it was a border sniper? theres a sniper scav spawn literally on top of lexus

[jaunty fulcrum]

yes

it had no name

and the bullet was called"sniper shot"

[analog fulcrum]

u know there the car extract is on streets? perhaps u went slightly past it, its kiiinda close to lexus

[plucky cliff]

some of your guns you can pull apart to save space

[jaunty fulcrum]

i has running past the wreckage on the streets twoards where the grenade launcher is

[tepid mulch]

how do streamers just throw a grenade with a button

what bind is it

[plucky cliff]

g

[steep bobcat]

Not sure it’s here to ask but could someone do a quick raid with me for jeagers note? I don’t know woods all that well

[quick otter]

bolt price on flea rn?

and nuts

[high venture]

ill give someone a good kit if they help me cheese this jaegar quest

[dire rock]

are you asking for someone to queue with you so you can shoot them?

[high venture]

@dire rockexactly that

[dire rock]

sorry bud they thought of that, group members do not count for quest progression

[high venture]

@dire rocknot same team tho just same lobby

[dire rock]

no guarantee youd get in the same game

[high venture]

@dire rockon shitty servers yes

[dire rock]

good luck with that lol

[somber flint]

can someone please carry me im brand new level 3 with no idea how to do my tasks saw game on tiktok and being good seems like a blast

[dapper epoch]

For eagle eye, can I use nvg then just take it off to kill the scav?

[mint light]

drop them

[dapper epoch]

Ok

[bold kernel]

WHAT THE FUCK I just spawned with this 😄

[chilly wolf]

whats ur rep wtf

[bold kernel]

0.91

[mint light]

time for long walk

[chilly wolf]

lol

[bold kernel]

I barely got to the extract 😄

waited until 1 min left, so other scavs aren't tempted 😄

[hybrid mantle]

at what time does it get dark? should i go 6am or 6pm if i want light?

[median heart]

which is better?

durability and storage and arm protection vs stomach protection and lighter w/out stuff?

[true trench]

Think it doesn't start getting dark till almost 9pm for some reason not sure what time zone this game takes place.

[viral saffron]

Idk if this is allowed but
https://discord.com/channels/521608697764380694/935947208073814106
If people wanna chill and quest

[tepid mulch]

yeah but that just pulls it out, doesnt throw it like they do

[whole thistle]

use em

[whole thistle]

it gets dark at 21

and the sun comes up at like 6 am but its really hazy

[plucky cliff]

Are you watching old footage? I think they might have removed the quick grenade throw

[whole thistle]

old update

[flat cipher]

thank fuck thats gone

cod grenades were not fun

especially when they added impacts

[whole thistle]

i liked it

pre impacts

i loved spamming grenades at innocent people looting

[lusty raptor]

i just spawned into streets, walked 2 seconds to my left, and instantly died

[flat cipher]

it was fine with regular nades

[lusty raptor]

to luger 9m in the head eyes

[flat cipher]

but impacts it was genuinely awful

[lusty raptor]

by a white name account

[flat cipher]

you didnt need guns

you just run around spamming g with vogs

you W key with grenades and kill people for free

0 skill

[simple epoch]

just killed goon squad with a mosin don't know what to do

[lusty raptor]

get ready to die to a hacker

[near spire]

Someone here to help me do the wood prapor task i never get out alive lol (i tried like 10 times haha)

[lone shard]

cant help rn but have you tried going at night ?

[near spire]

i don't know the way if i go at night haha

Will try that again

[lone shard]

try your best, use land marks as reference for directions, be wary of cultists on woods though

[onyx wraith]

Best scav map for money?

[lone shard]

lighthouse has insane spawns

rogues can be good too just be careful

streets is good also

[lusty raptor]

im done this whipe. audio doesn't even exit, at all. cheaters everyhere. 0 noise from anyone even with headphones on. games broken

[lone shard]

and then woods if you want chill low risk med/high reward

[onyx wraith]

yes, but my luck has been not so good this wipe

[lone shard]

hm, maybe streets or woods then

[onyx wraith]

i've heard people say stash runs are good on woods

[lone shard]

not even just stashes, 90% of the people leave in the first 10 minutes

[untold elm]

anyone got a m4 build?

[lone shard]

most loot is untouched, stay clear of the saw mill and you should have most to yourself

my favorite spots are the RUAF camp and scav village

[crude abyss]

offering carrys dm me

[lone shard]

^this is especially true at night

[near spire]

Ahh that means i should wait that first 10min to pass before moving

[lone shard]

if youre doing PMC sure, but on scav you dont really need to worry

plus even on PMC, ive only spawned at the same POI as someone 1-2 times on woods

its not common at all

[onyx wraith]

do you know of a good video for streets? I know the map sorta well. But not when it comes to loot

[lone shard]

iirc Pest did a video on it, and then Sam did one for exit camping spots

[lone shard]

but the best place ive seen so far for loot is that scav camp by the sewer extract

granted ive barely played the map so far at all, just my opinion

[modest zealot]

hey ,anyones got hotel room 206 key ?

[fast sinew]

can someone help me get jaegers message

[odd comet]

How do u get the sicc case?

Is it like a barter

[modest zealot]

from quest completions

thats the easiest way to get one anyway

[odd comet]

Ight thanks bro

[fast sinew]

can someone help me get jaegers message im struggling

[true trench]

This is probably a dumb question but why is it when my mosin is 4/5 of ammo when I try to top it off my ammo just disappears as he keeps feeding the endless maw of the mosin? Why can't I top it off?

[onyx wraith]

its being ejected

[fervent turret]

by racking the bolt, you unload a round

[true trench]

How can I top it off? So it's 5/5?

OCD

[fervent turret]

there’s one in chamber + 4 in mag

[true trench]

But shouldn't it say 5/5 then instead of 4/5?

or does it not count the chamber?

It was just bothering me that it said it was 4/5 kept trying to get it to go 5/5 but just kept ejecting ammo.

[fervent turret]

you can top it off in hideout

but in raid, you won’t be able to manual reload until you fire a shot

[true trench]

oh wait I would have to take the internal magazine out to fully load it wouldn't i.

[fast sinew]

can someone help me get jaegers message im struggling

[fervent turret]

for leveling sniper skill

[lost frost]

if someone called in a red airdrop, and i do 1 right after will it work?

cuz i called it and its not coming, said airspace is congested or smth

[true trench]

oh ok i don't know why my brain couldn't wrap itself around how this works till just now. was so confused but it makes sense.

[fervent turret]

you can full load the mag outside of raid

[true trench]

Basically I was trying to load the mag through the ejection port which isn't possible.

[lost frost]

fast pls someon

[fervent turret]

yeah basically you eject the round in chamber, load 5/5 and then the bolt loads a round into chamber to make it 4/5

[snow jewel]

pull your melee out, open your inventory and drag a bullet in :)

[lost frost]

bruh yall zesty not helping me

[chilly wolf]

wtf did i just play a factory scav run with every scav shootign each other

do they not care about rep lmao

[bold kernel]

@untold elm

[untold elm]

what

[fervent turret]

they’re playing the game of who-is-the-traitor

[bold kernel]

i met tagilla on accident

[snow jewel]

I think it's 1 per raid

[lost frost]

thx

[bold kernel]

and he jumped me with his hammer

[fervent turret]

nah there’s a certain amount of time before another airdrop will come in

[lost frost]

u know how long? its been like 5

[fervent turret]

like 10-15 or something

[chilly wolf]

im sitting there waiting for him and he looks at me for 5 seconds and just shoots in head, eyes

[snow jewel]

not worth risking it tho

[lone shard]

i would ask in #pvp-lfg

[rough flume]

best tnt farm?

[paper jungle]

So 5mm has more damage potential than 7mm if you land most of your pellets right?

[brittle canyon]

the damage dropoff means 5mm outdamages it in anything but barrel stuffing range

[near spire]

299 - Profile in match error after a scav raid any idea how to fix that?

[restive belfry]

I acquired a grizzly early on due to some luck, but it takes up all of my alpha container. Should I hold onto it or is it smart to sell it and take the rouble boost?

tbh I couldn't see myself using it in raids till i got a larger secure container to hold some keys

[stuck lichen]

keep it and use it to heal after raids instead of paying money

[restive belfry]

Smart

[grand spoke]

anyone know of something I could have done differently? I was about to loot the body when I realised someone was probably watching me and so I started running and died anyway

and I needed to cross to extract so this just seems unfair

[lucid hearth]

are default keybinds best in this game?

[placid canyon]

not crossed

[grand spoke]

but at that point I was closer to that end than to the start?

[placid canyon]

u were dead the second you started crossing

there was absolutely nothing you could have done once he started firing

[paper jungle]

Does a map like this exist for woods?

[icy maple]

Can anyone help with the prapor convoy task

[paper jungle]

Had a scav black out my head and arms then run away

Woods is just a really shitty map to learn when you are starting out

So anyone who knows the map even a little or the scavs have a drop on you

[plucky cliff]

Does this work? https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FaEeRSBXEAEbDxi?format=jpg&name=4096x4096

[paper jungle]

Yes, thanks

[true trench]

Dumb Question: Are IR lasers always on? If not how do you know it's currently on?

[plucky cliff]

they usually have LEDs on the back that light up when the laser is on

[chilly wolf]

https://streamable.com/wdzny4 bro i dont get it how did i die?

i didnt hit him for anything through that little crack did he shoot me through it too?

[placid canyon]

he could have just gotten lucky

either good luck or cheating

[plucky cliff]

You probably just got unlucky with the random buckshot spread

[untold elm]

just shot you between the crack

[chilly wolf]

did i miss? i shot him too but i got no hits on him

i checked after i died

[untold elm]

gaps to small to get a perfect shell in

[maiden cape]

either his computer has rgb or he has a better gaming chair

[chilly wolf]

ah makes sense

[untold elm]

considering the spread of the pellets are in a general direction not on the crosshairs

probably wasn’t cheating its easy to hold angles like that

[viscid siren]

can someone give me a list of things to bring with me medical wise

my second game on and i’m getting frustrated because i get kills just don’t know what medical i need

so i can’t make it out alive

[high venture]

u can see him peak u at the end for a second

[chilly wolf]

damn guess he got peakers advantage

[high venture]

ya sadly thats a thing in many games

[chilly wolf]

ye in this game is terrible tho lol

because of the desync

[haughty belfry]

[mint light]

[slim jackal]

Did the portable bunkhouse key get flea restricted? ...

[fervent turret]

no just rare

[slim jackal]

the one for bad rep evidence. I can't find it on the flea for some reason

nvm

barters only jesus

[cobalt scarab]

Does reserve have like a keycard spawn or something special like how woods has violet

[cosmic sage]

anyone know what parts i need to put a scope on the vpo 209

[fervent turret]

depends on the scope you want

but 25mm, 30mm, or 34mm scope mounts

and a bastion dust cover

[slim jackal]

@cobalt scarab to my knowledge no. A brief look in mapgenie also says no, its mostly intelligence drops, tank batteries, gpus, and other valuiables

[cobalt scarab]

Okay ty

[spare plover]

game broke help

[plucky cliff]

have you tried turning it off and then on again?

[snow jewel]

wipe usually happens 2x per year, we just wiped like a month ago

[forest field]

I found the luckiest marked key ever. It was on my scav in a jacket in “scav bunker” on woods. I found it while extracting and had like 0.5s left before extracting when i put it in my inventory

Imagine if i saw it but didnt get it in my inventory

[chilly wolf]

damn i was running scav and saw a dead body with this dog tag on it ifeel bad

bro loaded up the game and went straight into factory as a pmc

[forest field]

Imagine ur first deaths being the factory hallway behind the box

And just dying as soon as u move

[wraith mauve]

[wet sky]

[wraith mauve]

Oh yeah i just found out that the components were in my stash xD

thank you ^^

[wet sky]

no worries

[elfin elm]

why did you take it apart btw?

[onyx wagon]

Could anyone help me scav lighthouse to get a good kit? I don’t know the route

[elfin elm]

are you just broke?

[onyx wagon]

Yes

[elfin elm]

how broke?

cus usually just scaving off cooldown with loot runs, and the occasional pmc loot run keeps you above the red

and then you can buy your own kit, depending on personal availability

every map has a run or 3, just pick your favorite map and learn a route

[kindred grotto]

theres a bigger chance for moonshines at village or ruined village

[hardy fox]

Shoreline stashes are good

[elfin elm]

caches on any map are great

[past river]

try and let us know

[reef breach]

Yes, didn't see you mentioned "Bullshit" at first, it works for another quest like this.

[past river]

traders wants sv98, pmc delivers half of it.......

[versed valley]

Its woods > shoreline > Interchange > customs (i never bothered to learn lighthouse stashes)

[elfin elm]

depends

for value yes, that order is spot on

on timer per run though, it reshuffles

[versed valley]

Interchnage should be the first one you learn tho cuz its by far the easiest to learn

[elfin elm]

and quickest usually

[versed valley]

But the most populated by far

[elfin elm]

mmm

[versed valley]

Woods is the least populated but the hardest to learn

[elfin elm]

I'd say customs is a lil more populated

[elfin elm]

for sure

and shoreline takes ages

[versed valley]

Customs stashes are not populated, simply customs is linear

If you even just look at tutorial vids, Interchange has the most views by far

[worn hemlock]

is there a good way to do stirrup for skier

[elfin elm]

grab your favorite sidearm, head to factory

you'll die, a lot in fact, but it almost guarantees pmc engagements within pistol ranges

[worn hemlock]

ok

[elfin elm]

you should go one of two ways really, the rest of your kit as cheap as possible, or armor up

so you can tank some hits and might have a chance to get an extra lucky headshot in

[worn hemlock]

ok

is there a best pistol to use for level 1 traders

[rain wing]

I just found a glock 19x

tan gun works well

finished it in 2 raids

just run like a glock 17

[worn hemlock]

ok

[brittle canyon]

they’re all trash so use whatever

[rain wing]

but

1911 >>>>>>>

gigabased pistol

[worn hemlock]

every time i go to factory i just die to someone i cant even see

[elfin elm]

so it's basically a choice between 9mm guns or .45 guns

.45 hits harder, but you only have the 1911

7+1 rounds before reloading

9mm it's somewhat personal preference based on recoil visibility and sight picture, but I would grab whatever you can get the biggest mag for

btw, what I mean by recoil visibility

is when the handgun goes off, the muzzle rising in a different manner depending on the handgun

part of why a lot of people dislike the m9

kinda okay-ish sights

but your muzzle flies straight up when you mash the fire button

[worn hemlock]

ok

[elfin elm]

if you're particularly concerned, or just curious which you actually might like

buy one of each you can get your hands on, and do some offline raids on factory to test them

you can also buy the makarov or tt pistol, but they both shoot uber bad rounds so I wouldn't ever run them unless you were broke as hell

[worn hemlock]

ok

[elfin elm]

Gl bro 👍

oh, and keep a good mental

people die, shit happens, the next foot forward is the important part

[versed valley]

Generally g17 is the best

[obsidian perch]

Can someone help me understand what I have to do to avoid dying from someone I never see? I keep going into raids like customs and woods, making my way to my objective (not sprinting), and end up getting blindsided by someone that I had no idea was there, and melts through my tier 4/5 armor like its a paca. I'm level 18.

[cursive heron]

anyone have portable bunkhouse key and willing to help?

[obsidian perch]

I keep a map on my second monitor and try to pay attention to enemy spawns, still learning the maps so I'm sure I can do better with that, but it's mostly me dying to people on my way to extracts.

Depends, still have to get the quest item at big red, and die crossing the bridges or just getting from one side of the map to the other if I get the opposite spawn.

I've tried running down either side of the wall separating the main road from the construction areas, and running around dorms, and I die almost every time regardless of where I go

without hearing footsteps, or seeing any movement

depends, I try not to on customs

on woods yes but I only really have problems going outskirts there which I've stopped doing if I can help it now

I feel like I never hear enemies when I sprint and everyone else can hear me

what headphones do you use?

I've been using Comtac 2s and Razors
