and got like 40k back

[fiery prairie]

[frail comet]

Isn’t it how long you can aim for too

Like for arm stamina

[mint light]

thats weight

[mint light]

u can get sa58 to 68 recoil

[frail comet]

oh word

[fiery prairie]

[mint light]

prs suppressor and mesa tube

[raw oracle]

I really do wanna gkeep the suppressor

[fiery prairie]

[mint light]

jit

[fiery prairie]

otherone 72

other one

[mint light]

mesa tube

not are

[young wren]

lol 0 ergo

[raw oracle]

What is making the recoil so trash

[mint light]

the entire build

stock, suppressor, foregrip

[raw oracle]

The stock is the best I think

I looked at different ones and that was the one with the most recoil reduction

[upbeat fable]

anyone know how i could get a pouch thats not kappa....

[mint light]

no

best stock for recoil is gonna be mesa tube with gen3 stock

[fiery prairie]

cant find it kekw

[mint light]

examine it

[mint light]

type mesa

yall just helpless stg

[raw oracle]

Will work in woods if I stay a bit ranged I guess

[mint light]

no

sa58 is a close range gun only

it sucks at everything else

[fiery prairie]

SA sucks balls

[mint light]

mesa buffer tube jitimus

[raw oracle]

Fuuuck, I read some shit that it was really good. It seems this info is old

[fiery prairie]

nope kekw

[raw oracle]

I’ll try to sell it for 200k or something

Wait no, I can’t. It’s insured

[warm notch]

Go throw it in a bush

[raw oracle]

Smart

[young wren]

gigachad

[mint light]

what

[fiery prairie]

I Cant find it

[mint light]

u literally sent it

mesa tactical crosshair hydraulic buffer tube

😭

[raw oracle]

Best place for spark plugs?

[long otter]

Need some help on managing inventory space. What can I do to get some more space and etc?

[mint light]

anywhere will tool spawns. tool boxes and tech crates

[young wren]

stack your backpacks

[fiery prairie]

bruh thats a stock

[mint light]

its a buffer tube

[long otter]

They already have things in them

[mint light]

this guy is so helpless lol

[long otter]

including other backpacks

[fiery prairie]

yooooow

[mint light]

yeah and then u put a stock on it 😱

and it gets 68 recoil

[warm notch]

Cars

[raw oracle]

Are tech crates the big wooden boxes ?

[cinder vale]

How is streets of tarkov? Is it a decent map? Is it better than customs?

[young wren]

use the sorting bench to hold things temp. detach the pistol grip and magazines for your guns, and sell things you dont use within 4-5 raids

[raw oracle]

🤯

[mint light]

yeah. but they use the same model as ration and med crates

[raw oracle]

Ah okay

[mint light]

power creep loot and low fps

[fiery prairie]

dude you said the supressor not the stock KEKW

[raw oracle]

Low fps? It has decent fps for me

[cinder vale]

@mint light what do you mean by power creep? Lol

[fiery prairie]

nvm

[mint light]

you already have the meta suppressor 🤦‍♂️

this guy needs to go into a gaslighting class

[mint light]

lower than every map ever

[fiery prairie]

that what i was thinking

[mint light]

its better than every map because its new

[dawn pumice]

i have a friend who is just under lvl 15, but he can buy so many more items than i can and im lvl 9. when do i get better items?

[raw oracle]

Maybe true, but I do get like 90

[mint light]

yeah so u need to change the stock 🤯

[cinder vale]

@mint light ahh got ya, thanks man

[mint light]

are u on a 4090

[raw oracle]

3080

[fiery prairie]

🥸

[warm notch]

How are u only getting 90

[raw oracle]

At least 90

[mint light]

streets runs rly bad 4 me

[warm notch]

I play at like 120-160 fps

[raw oracle]

I don’t know fs, I can check when I get a scav

[raw oracle]

Max graphics?

[warm notch]

1440p medium

[fiery prairie]

30fps pfff

[young wren]

there's a few traders that hit lvl 2 loyalty before 12-15 and depending on if either of you have EoD or standard base game

[mint light]

if u play on night time the fps goes up crazy

[raw oracle]

I run max graphics

[warm notch]

1440p looks better

[dawn pumice]

tyty

[mint light]

if u have a 3080 thats probably the best idea. if u run lower it wont use enough of ur gpu

[warm notch]

I can play 4k at like 90

[raw oracle]

I do have 1440p, but like the graphics, not res

[raw oracle]

I’m stupid, so I don’t know if this is ironic or not

[dawn pumice]

bruvv, i play on heavy 1.4k euro laptop and have to place my pc on the window so it doesnt get to 95C cause if not it will legit explode

[mint light]

tarkov isnt optimized so it works like this

[raw oracle]

Really?

[mint light]

thats why optimization guides for this game dont rly work

[raw oracle]

Daaam😂

[mint light]

because settings are super rig specific

[long otter]

anyone know some good bags to buy as a beginner/who to buy them from?

[dawn pumice]

can i post pics in this chat?

[raw oracle]

Is tarkov cpu heavy?

[mint light]

berkut from ragman

[mint light]

yes

[orchid crystal]

how do you put a faceshield on this ?

[mint light]

you cant

[raw oracle]

Ah okay, I also have a i7-12700f

[warm notch]

My threadripper destroys tarkov

[orchid crystal]

oh

[young wren]

yes

[mint light]

ram and cpu dependent game

[raw oracle]

What’s a threadripper?😳

[warm notch]

Jesus

a CPU

[raw oracle]

In my defense, I never touched a pc until this summer

[warm notch]

64 cores 128 threads

[hybrid mantle]

hey can anyone help? whenever i try to use freelook it glitches or somethings and gets stuck in freelook mode kind of

dont really know how to explain it

[dawn pumice]

Epic natural pc cooling

[young wren]

the lenovo

[warm notch]

It’s MSI

[dawn pumice]

Im very proud of it...

[warm notch]

Buy liquid nitrogen, dip it in

[young wren]

lmao im blind, it looks identical to my lenovo y510

[dawn pumice]

Where to buy in norway ;DD

[warm notch]

Amazon

[shut umbra]

i ran out of fucking faceshields i just did 3 factory runs in a row and ran into a hacker each time...

where can i get a gaming chair that lets you tripple tap someone in the face then death in the first 3 shots?

[warm notch]

How do you know you ran into a hacker

[shut umbra]

because nobody other than lvl 50s running maxed recoil skill and meta M4s can do that
and even then they can miss a shot or 2 theyre only human

[wicked sky]

not on my main pc, but how much is the mp-18 with Jaeger?

[young wren]

16k

[wicked sky]

ty

[bold kernel]

food man died coz he had his mp7 on single

[wet sky]

Happens when you do other actions while using freelook just use freelook again and it should fix

[fiery prairie]

rookie mistakes first whipe i died alot like that haha

[long otter]

good tactical rig for cheap for newbies?

[stone forge]

I want to turn my 6k in to skier for friends from the west part 2, is it worth?

[long otter]

Also how do you attach a sight to SA-58 AUT?

[fiery prairie]

barter cheap

c4

[long otter]

Don't have the necessary items rip

[queen charm]

ok. after at least 20 attempts at surviving "The Extortionist" on customs and losing all my gear, I finally have to ask for help. any tips?

[fiery prairie]

c4 also

[stone forge]

i ran it with a friend, so if you have friends maybe ask them to just cover you

[carmine oxide]

where can I find every meta builds for this wipe ?

[fiery prairie]

create your own meta 😏

[urban wolf]

like my VSS

[fiery prairie]

do scav raid get the key and use it with your pmc

[queen charm]

i cant find anybody to join up. thats why i came here. im wondering if theres any tricks anybody might have that would help me survive the map (i.e. hiding spots, safe routes, etc.)

[ashen orbit]

Can you find ledx on streets? The shoreline is the only map with ledx?\

[fiery prairie]

shoreline , labs

[ashen orbit]

😦

[fiery prairie]

Probably dont have medstation level 3

otherwise you could craft it

[ashen orbit]

You need a quest, and i heard is far away.

I never had a THIC item case before, and i really want one

[fiery prairie]

run shoreline with meldonin and sj6 dont stop runninng until you are in resort

i found yesterday 1 in west 301

Take food and water with you

[ashen orbit]

Are common ledx on san tape?

[fiery prairie]

never found one there

WEST 104 , 205 , 2

301

[high venture]

Interchange as well

[fiery prairie]

2whipes ago yeah , havent found 1 this whipe

[ashen orbit]

Oh so are very rare 🙂

[fiery prairie]

in labs they spawn more

[high venture]

On interchange they are super rare

[ashen orbit]

I never been there

[fiery prairie]

had 2 whipes ago 3 next each other in ultra kekw

[ashen orbit]

I have a fear to get into fight with chads

[fiery prairie]

Why ? its a FPS game what you expect haha

[high venture]

If that’s the case u can switch servers but u will still casually find pmcs just not many

[ashen orbit]

I like to give, not to take so muchj =)))

And do you need good keycards and keys to make money and find ledx on labs?

[fiery prairie]

depends they spawn also in the middle

shorline you need keys also

interchange too

[ashen orbit]

I know, i was 2-3 times before

[fiery prairie]

rare item

[ashen orbit]

Thank you very much, i will try tomarrow.

[fiery prairie]

goodluck

[ashen orbit]

Thanks, i will try my best.

[pearl turtle]

is anyone helping people out who ran out of money on the game

ilitearlly cant buy a gun

[hardy fox]

[long otter]

What's a good cheap body armor for beginners?

[bold kernel]

im doing the jeager quest to live while dehydrated do i need to extract too or just live for 5 min

[bold kernel]

there really isnt a "good" cheap armor, things like paca (lvl 2 armor) are cheap but only block one or two pistol rounds/shotgun pellets

[fiery prairie]

56 k class 3 🤷🏼‍♂️

[dawn pumice]

anyone wanna help, keep getting killed...

[narrow belfry]

that quest is unnecessary for progression go try something else

[visual geyser]

Is Tagilla still spawning on factory? can't find him

[dawn pumice]

met him 15min ago

so yes

[visual geyser]

bad luck then i guess

[dawn pumice]

wdym by that exactly?

[hardy fox]

It’s a easy task tho and free rep and exp

[narrow belfry]

it does not lead to a quest chain or gives good rewards

[narrow belfry]

every task is free rep and xp

[dawn pumice]

ye been trying to do it but either get killed while trying to find convoy or at extract

[primal yacht]

1,34 scav rep btw

[hardy fox]

Yes but that literally go there and and extract

[high crescent]

paca to stop against scavs. your gonna want class 4 at the least usually cos most pmcs now will just tear u up

[snow jewel]

W

paca only 9k, no reason not to run

[high crescent]

only reason would be better gear

[tough oyster]

Anyone know which servers have less hackers

[fiery prairie]

paca ? beter go naked saved9k

[snow jewel]

if you're tryna save 9k then you got bigger issues lmfao

[fiery prairie]

with paca you will lose alot 9K mid whipe just saying

ppl start to run geared AF

[snow jewel]

cus paka aint for players

its for scavs with bad ammo

against pmc's paca is like paper lol

[fiery prairie]

so when you see player you just say dont shoot i have paca 😂

[sturdy nebula]

i need a bad rep evidence carry

[steep token]

are wepons on the flea market cheaper than the ones offered by traders because rn even buying one breaks the bank and i still end up getting what feels like outgunned

[snow jewel]

depends

flea market = price players put up

but its usually around the same price

[fiery prairie]

exept keys FFS

[snow jewel]

wym?

[fiery prairie]

keys way to overpriced on the flea

[snow jewel]

yea.. but he was asking about weapons xD

[lapis zealot]

need a Chad to carry me on customs

[lavish tinsel]

Does this game reward players with more of a aggressive playstyle? or slow and ratty playstyle. I suppost i try to be both but it never works out. Skill issue maybe

[dawn pumice]

i have no idea where i am rn, there is a war here fr help

[narrow belfry]

whoever has better hearing will have the advantage

[snow jewel]

ratty

nikita intended the game to be played more ratty

[fiery prairie]

whoever has less desync

[snow jewel]

whoever is invis*

[jaunty mantle]

I need help, spawned night factory and I’m stuck with cultist,

[fiery prairie]

invis ?

[narrow belfry]

[fiery prairie]

invis got it haha

[pearl turtle]

damn its been two days i cant buy a a gun anymore does everyone jsut pay for the in game currency online to keep playing?

[fiery prairie]

KEKW

[pearl turtle]

what is kekw

[narrow belfry]

do not laugh at timmy guys

[narrow belfry]

do more quests/SURVIVE RAIDS

[lavish tinsel]

Bet, does it also have to do with fps? xd. For some reason i feel like i can play better on factory/ labs than any other map because fps increase. Running on like 40-50fps on most maps. 20 on streets, interchange and shoreline

[narrow belfry]

kind of

[lavish tinsel]

Maybe its time to upgrade from my 1060 3gb XDDD

[narrow belfry]

get more RAM

[narrow belfry]

ur overdue

[lavish tinsel]

like 6 years overdue lol

[fiery prairie]

Im not , im laughing because he asks if we buy online money

[pearl turtle]

how else would you keep playing

[lavish tinsel]

[narrow belfry]

[fiery prairie]

okay the game is not 100% but not that bad either haha

[pearl turtle]

idk dude i like the idea of the game but im stuck i feel like it was a waste of moeny at this point

[fiery prairie]

been there

[lavish tinsel]

Everything is decent except for my gpu. Will buy one soon tho

[narrow belfry]

you need to learn the game through another player first

[fiery prairie]

i bought it started playing like 1year later

[narrow belfry]

what the FUCK is this RAM

[lavish tinsel]

[narrow belfry]

guarantee if u get better ram nothing else u will get steady 60 all maps except streets and mayb lighthouse

I know it’s get good but I shouldn’t lose with a p90 vs 556 when the accuracy wasn’t an issue. Stuck at 6/7 for friend from the west and I’m level 17

[mint light]

r37f has no pen

[amber depot]

I should shoot legs with the p90? Shooting legs is so dumb I swear

Anyone have tips for operation aquarius part 1? I don't have a dorm 206 key and don't know where to find medical supplies for the therapist barter

[whole thistle]

not generally but with that round yeah lol

[narrow belfry]

go lfg so people can help you with the task

[frosty musk]

Why didn't I think of that lmao

I can't seem to get high fps no matter what I do
Even all low settings basically give performance. Of high textures med shadows anyone able to help?

hbao and ssr are crazy drains on fps

Bro can someone please help me on lighthouse dude I keep getting FUCKED by rouges and I can’t play this map and I’ve got tons of quests I need to to

[fervent phoenix]

Was looking into getting an injector case. I was wondering if anyone could tell me or link me to something that explains which injectors to use for what situations if that makes sense

[undone oyster]

i7 7700k, 1070, 16gb ram

[short lichen]

i jsut went streets and had 70 fps for a sec

then it tanked with maxed out vram insane stutters

[covert wave]

You definitely need more ram. Tarkov eats up ram like a mfer

Streets is pretty demanding, so Im not too sure how the rest of your rig would handle, but 16gb of ram isnt enough for tarkov anymore

[short lichen]

on streets tarkov only takes up 13 gb

but my 4gb of vram maxes tf out

going back in with lower settings rn

only 40% of my gpu is getting used how do i fix that

[agile tangle]

can someone please explain the regions for LFG? I cant figure it out

[gusty flare]

Any advice for getting eagle eye done? This task is the mane of my existence it seems

[elfin elm]

come again?

[elfin elm]

night

[agile tangle]

like when people say NAE or whetever. Like the region they are on

[elfin elm]

north america east

[agile tangle]

Ohhhh okay

[elfin elm]

NA-north america
EU- europe
and then so on

[hardy fox]

It just hold stims for you to use in raid like zagustin that stop all bleeds, propital is a pain killer and heals you and sj6 give you more stamina

But there Mule that give you more carry weight

[zinc temple]

injector cases are really useful and i have usually two morphines, a propital, a zagustine, and an etgc. i also might bring adrenaline or mule, and later in the wipe ill always have at least one sj6 or sj1

[brittle canyon]

perfotoran PNB ahf1
sj6 meldonin mule
sj12 propital empty

sigh

time to do pistol run

[fervent phoenix]

Useful enough to spend 1.1 mil on the market for one?

[snow jewel]

depends on your level, usually yes

injector cases give you 9 slots for 1, looking for one is still better

[fervent phoenix]

I am currently a level 25 right now with about 12 mil roubles

[snow jewel]

i mean i dont see why not, gonna be a shame when you find one next raid tho lmao

do you run injectors? or get into fights often? cus they're just meds but better

[ionic urchin]

what does one do if you have to many guns an kits i aint got no space left an im on a hot streak so i aint losing kits?

[prime comet]

Sell stuff you’re not actually using

[brittle canyon]

do chemical pt4

pick therapist

[fervent phoenix]

This is my first wipe and I didn’t know that. I completed it and apparently picked someone else unfortunately

[broken bear]

what was the highest price water filters reached last wipe???

[fiery prairie]

2whipes ago 200k ish

last whipe i dont think they reached 200

[loud plover]

i got a caiman helmet, is the armor piece that goes on top even worth using with it?

https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/escapefromtarkov_gamepedia/images/b/bc/Applique.png/revision/latest?cb=20201019171019

this thing

it’s like 30k on flea so idk if it would even save me

[bold kernel]

FUCKING TRAITOR SCAVS BRO

😭

[elfin elm]

it's an emergency tool at the very least

put the right stims in it, you'll have something for most spots

out of energy/hydration? there's a stim for it

tons of bleeds you need to stop fast? there's a stim for that

way too much loot, and the timer is getting low? there are stims for that too

got like 100 hp left, and a team is probably gonna push ya? you got it

all available in one slot

[elfin elm]

caiman's are kinda really expensive, even to traders, for kinda worse protection than it's competitors

[elfin elm]

if you're not saving it for a task, or gonna use it in the next 5 raids

sell it

can always buy a new kit later with the money and space you saved now

[halcyon crystal]

whats cheapest viable silenced weapon? Is it the AK 5.45 guns?

[elfin elm]

depends

what lvl are you?

cus that really shows what your options are

[halcyon crystal]

26

[elfin elm]

you have m856a1 yet?

[halcyon crystal]

no i havent even used 556 guns at all

[elfin elm]

you have work bench 2?

[halcyon crystal]

yes

[elfin elm]

then you can craft m856a1

that's the best intermediately round you have access to atm

so I'd say the cheapest good gun you can suppress would be the mdr

using that round

if you want to use an smg, there are options, if you want to run a dmr there are options

but an intermediate round will fit the most use cases, and be the best all round choice

you follow?

[jaunty mantle]

Who has the best guide for lighthouse scaving in y’all’s opinion

[elfin elm]

they all tend to say the same thing

[merry swift]

SP-6 is also workbench 2

[halcyon crystal]

are all the 556 guns the same without mods? I see scar/aug can be cheaper than mdr with default preset.

[merry swift]

No most of em are terrible without mods

MDR is probably the most manageable one with light modding

But it's not a caliber you wanna run unmodded typically

m856a1 is a good round but I'm not sure how good of an idea it is to run 5.56 guns with light mods

[loud plover]

i already have one so just wondering if the head cover thing is worth it

[naive depot]

Not really, helmet is overpriced

[elfin elm]

don't use sp-6

vss and asval not worth running

[loud plover]

so just run the helmet without the cover?

[elfin elm]

there's nuisance, mdr is pretty much impossible to mess up cus of how modding works on it

aug is similar, but will perform worse cus it has a higher firerate and therefore more recoil

[naive depot]

The helmet is already level four so if somebody is going to go right through it with their ammo the plate won't help you more than likely

[elfin elm]

scar is sort of halfway between the mdr and m4

m4 has dog base stats, but can get fantastic with great mods

but gets expensive, and is complicated to do so

mdr needs basically any suppressor, and pretty much any foregrip and then it's fine

scar's right inbetween

[elfin elm]

you follow?

[merry swift]

That is a very spicy take my guy

[weary meteor]

VSS is really good now

[merry swift]

Yea

I would agree

I think its one of the best value for money weapons rn

[upbeat ember]

Can someone help he with "introduction" quest? Im pretty new to this game and play only customs, im lost in woods if yes, dms please, thanks! 😄

[elfin elm]

did they fix it's dog recoil, make the gun cheaper, and make it so you can get bigger than 10 rounders easier?

and also fix it's terrible accuracy

[weary meteor]

Recoil is better now yes

[elfin elm]

the bullets are good, for sure, but there's a lot of problems going around still

[weary meteor]

But all DMRs are really solid also now

[elfin elm]

did they fix the accuracy so it's not just an smg with tiny mags?

[weary meteor]

Felt okei to me

[merry swift]

It still plays like an SMG with more recoil

[weary meteor]

I guess its mostly how you perfer the gun to perform

[merry swift]

But it also slaps much harder than any SMG

Very strong close quarters

[elfin elm]

it also has 10 round mags with 900 rpm

[merry swift]

20 rounders aren't hard to get

Just the 30 rounders are pricey/LL4

[elfin elm]

I'll give it that if it's been buffed it's a strong close quarters gun

[weary meteor]

Sounds like just a waste

[merry swift]

It was that already before the buff

[elfin elm]

the recoil before buff was through the roof

[merry swift]

But it got buffed again like a week or so ago to shave a lot off the horizontal recoil

[brittle canyon]

20 rounder on vss runs out in a flash

kinda scuffed

[elfin elm]

even at close quarters, you had to be sniffing the guy to hit him

[merry swift]

Yea but people also drop in a flash so...

Its a 20 rounder with ammo that 2taps people

[elfin elm]

I'll still say that for most uses, the mdr will be a better choice

[weary meteor]

7,62?

[elfin elm]

more manageable recoil, better accuracy, larger magazines

5.56

the original question was which budget-ish suppressed guy to go for at lvl 2 traders and hideout stations

[weary meteor]

That is also a decent gun to use, low price,easy to mod and can kill ppl fast

[elfin elm]

and mdr checks the boxes

[weary meteor]

Yeah sounds like a mdr job

[elfin elm]

yep

I also added the note that if they wanted to give up versatility for either close or long range there are alternatives

but the mdr is best go-to

[merry swift]

Idk how I feel about 5.56 at LL2

I mean I know how I feel tbh

I think the caliber needs significant modding to be good

[elfin elm]

lvl 2 crafting gets you m856a1

and mdr doesn't need modding

[merry swift]

Its more about the guns being a pain in the ass with low level

The ammo is fine

[elfin elm]

mdr needs a suppressor, a foregrip, and a sight

and then it's fine

again, it checks all the boxes

[merry swift]

Fair enough

[weary meteor]

Not really alot of stuff you can run with lvl 2 traders tho anyway

[merry swift]

That's true

The 5.45 platform is pretty decent for LL2

[elfin elm]

your best option from traders at 2 is PP, and that's a flat worse m856a1

[weary meteor]

7,62 is also a decent caliber

[elfin elm]

you're restricted to ps

[weary meteor]

Ps is more then capeable of killing most of ppl

[merry swift]

I mean it's got 1 pen less and you can straightup buy that instead of having to craft it

I don't think it's that much worse

[elfin elm]

it's got about a 10% chance less to frag

[merry swift]

You can also barter BP and BT

[elfin elm]

and pen and damage is about the same between the two

[merry swift]

Which is a bit pricey but those are pretty good

[elfin elm]

but 7.62, as a platform

has waaay more recoil

and needs more modding

than the mdr

[weary meteor]

Scaving reserve train station/apartments can find you alot of ammo

[elfin elm]

and at this point you start getting the damage problems of 5.45

plus you don't get a bunch per reset

the craft for m856a1 gives you the most rounds per-bullet-craft iirc

[weary meteor]

5.45 BT let me down so many times before

BS or igolnik otherwise i dont even use the caliber

[merry swift]

Sure but we're talking LL2

[elfin elm]

so effectiveness and sustainability are in 5.56 favor over 5.45, and while you can run 7.62 is gonna be more expensive with more recoil

but you can run it

[merry swift]

I do think 7.62 PS is really good at LL2 tho

You can get the handgrips

[elfin elm]

to wrap back around though

the original prompt was for suppressed weapons

and if you want acceptable stats, that's not happening with 7.62

[weary meteor]

Yeah suppresed 7,62 is mid

I run all mine with a comp

[elfin elm]

unless you're using the adapter, you always should

[merry swift]

Oh was it?

[merry swift]

Yea I'm not sure what LL the 7.62 supp is

Might be 3

[weary meteor]

My goto 7,62

210k with max traders

[merry swift]

Yea looks good

[elfin elm]

the adapter is at least 3

[merry swift]

the kiba arms one?

I think the hexagon is LL3 too because I normally did punisher 1+2 with the akm but I remember this wipe I couldnt get the supp

Maybe its questlocked

[elfin elm]

hexagon is kinda garbage for stats

and kiba adapter is mecahnic 3

[merry swift]

Yea but its like the standard 'early' suppressor for the platform

I feel like it used to be LL2

[elfin elm]

skier 3

[merry swift]

It is now, yea

[elfin elm]

cheaper on flea though

cus it's also bad

[merry swift]

But I think it was 2 before

[elfin elm]

it's not really worth using a suppressor on 7.62x39 unless you use the kiba adapter, or are using a mutant

[merry swift]

Punisher 2 with your punisher 1 AKM 😄

Stonks

[elfin elm]

pretty sure the molot works, and is cheaper

but yeah, you could make an argument to use the specifically worse stat ak for tasking

[merry swift]

Which molot?

[elfin elm]

136

[merry swift]

Not sure which suppressor that is tbh

If you mean the gun, that doesn't work for the quest

[elfin elm]

it was the gun, but that's fine

it'd have about the same performance of the ak during that task

which is still kinda eh

[merry swift]

I dont think you can use it for the task

I think it's gotta be an AKM(*)

[elfin elm]

no, ak series works in general

to expound upon that, akm, akmn, akms, and akmsn work

but the vpo-136 I was thinking of doesn't

[merry swift]

Strange, wiki says otherwise

[elfin elm]

I just double checked

[elfin elm]

akm series, not just the akm

[merry swift]

Yea that's what the asterix is for

[elfin elm]

we're just saying the same thing then, that's fine

[mortal saddle]

If I insure something and it comes back, does that timer for me to get it start only when I launch the game or does it start somewhere in the background while I'm out of the game?

[elfin elm]

once you die, and leave raid

and it runs real time

regardless to whether or not the game is open

so if you take a break from playing, still check in once a day or so if you can help it for insurances

[mortal saddle]

I mean the timer that you get in the message

[elfin elm]

oh, I don't actually remember

[elfin elm]

you get 4 days to collect the items once they get back to you in teh messenger though

[mortal saddle]

I know it's 4 days but I have to leave my pc for a whole week and idk if it's worth it to insure anything today

[chilly stump]

i need help getting jaeger, i've gone through 2 raids and i cant find where to even go to find the note

can anyone hop in a call and guide me

[elfin elm]

I wouldn't insure, maybe run stuff you don't care about losing

[brittle canyon]

search every quest on the wiki

use mapgenie

learn the map in offline mode and scav raids

start with identifying major landmarks and points of interest, and then branch out from those landmarks to expand the memorized map area

if you memorize hidden stash locations it can help learn the empty spaces between pois

[mortal saddle]

I asked on sherpa discord, if I don't get a definitive answer there I'll just give up on playing today lol

[elfin elm]

honestly, could just scav a bit if you just wanna kick around in the game for fun

[hardy fox]

Yeah if you have to leave for week don’t insure it

You WONT get it back

[cobalt rover]

What items do you need to make moonshine? I almost have the booze generator and I was just wondering what I should save so I can make a bunch of it

[hardy fox]

Sugar

Super water

[brittle canyon]

2 sugar 1 big water

1 water filter makes like 1.3 big waters

[hardy fox]

Yurp just don’t get scammed on the flea

[elfin elm]

to add to that, watch your purchasing pricing for sugar

and potentially use teh barters instead if it's hiking up too much

they go out of stock a lot though

[limber lily]

I have a friend who is just starting today, I forget, what is the requirement to start buying from traders?

[brittle canyon]

therapist sells 4 emelyas per reset, jaeg sells 1 sugar for 5 emelyas per reset

so buy 1 more emelya from flea every reset and get sugar

[elfin elm]

wdym? traders lvl 1 are available once you launch them game

exception being jaegar

[brittle canyon]

jaeg is locked behind introduction

[elfin elm]

he's not clicking the "fill" button on the bottom of the screen, lol

[limber lily]

I normally do a couple stock runs first so I never really paid attention to it

[limber lily]

My god, I didn’t think to tell him that.

[brittle canyon]

check autofill at bottom

[elfin elm]

I'd totally overlook it too if I didn't help new people so often

[limber lily]

Hahahahahahaha forgot about that. I haven’t played this wipe yet and got really confused

I tell him that

[elfin elm]

make sure to tell him to check the autofill box too

[limber lily]

Thanks guys.

[elfin elm]

just to make his life easier

[limber lily]

Will do

[elfin elm]

👍

[limber lily]

Just forgot about that after a couple wipes

[brittle canyon]

it should be default though

[elfin elm]

it's like a 7 second automatic fix for us at the beginning of every wipe

and then we forget it for months

[cobalt rover]

sorry what do you mean by put water in water filter

[elfin elm]

I think he means put filter in water filter 3

it refreshes the game much like relogging does

[primal yacht]

Ok ty

[warm notch]

What are the best guns I can build without flea and only level 1 traders

[elfin elm]

depends on the range you want to fight at

[warm notch]

Medium

[elfin elm]

probably an sks

[warm notch]

Medium - close

[elfin elm]

either an sks, or a molot vpo

[warm notch]

Been using this for my last few raids

Got it from a PMC

[elfin elm]

using .366 eko, or any 7.62x39 you can get your hands on (besides hp)

[elfin elm]

if you can run 5.45 ps or better that is actually decent against scavs

[warm notch]

That’s what i have in it

Also found an aug a1 last night

[edgy plover]

UMP
If you can find ammo, the 545 AKs or anything in 762 - SKS or AK

[warm notch]

And this mp7

[elfin elm]

m855 or better will be fine for killing scavs, but until you can suppress it or get better ammo it'll be kind mid

[elfin elm]

hard to get good mags for it, and hard to get good ammo for it

is that the one you got from the site though free?

[warm notch]

I have 40 round mags

No, got it from killing some guy

[brittle canyon]

examine the stock

examine everything

if you find unexamined items on scav try to bring it back unexamined to give the exp to your pmc

[elfin elm]

it'll perform great if you have fmj, subsonic, or ap rounds

[warm notch]

I have FMJ SX and Subsonic Six ammo for the mp7

[brittle canyon]

how much

also how many mags

[elfin elm]

just keep in mind it's a bullet hose and you can't restock it

[warm notch]

3 40 round mags, all filled with FMJ SX

[elfin elm]

that's great, but that's like 1 raid worth

[warm notch]

plus an extra 60 of each ammo

[elfin elm]

so if have matching armor, and need to kill some pmc close range

that'd be pretty good

but you'll basically run out after one raid of decent fighting

[warm notch]

Yeh tbh I have no clue what armour I should be wearing either lol

[elfin elm]

do you know how penetration and armor works?

[warm notch]

https://i.imgur.com/91R6Hq6.png
https://i.imgur.com/wxjYAqg.png

thats the only armour i have rn lol

but i have 1.3m cash

[elfin elm]

still same question, do you know how armor pen works?

[brittle canyon]

lv3 for poverty runs and general non confrontation loadout
lv4 mininum combat viable
top tier high dura lv4~entry level lv5 minimum pvp viable
high dura lv5~lv6 best pvp gear

[warm notch]

no

[elfin elm]

every bullet has a damage and pen value

for every 10 pentration stat it will get through another lvl of armor 80% of the time or more on the first shot

so 10 for lvl 1, 20 for 2, and so on

so the higher your armor lvl the better

[warm notch]

ahh okay

[elfin elm]

https://eft-ammo.com

for the bullet stats

[brittle canyon]

armor loses durability when it is hit, and the total durability points and the armor material dictates how fast it degrades in combat
an armor losing durability starts letting lower penetration rounds through, 0 dura armor provides no protection

[elfin elm]

it does do an itty bit of damage mitigation though

[brittle canyon]

repairing armor docks maximum dura and thus will never be as good as new

[elfin elm]

like 5% or something

[warm notch]

cool. my other question is, what meds should i be bringing?

[elfin elm]

a bit of everything to cover all the status effects

[brittle canyon]

at least 300~400pts of hp heal
two heavy bleed or more, one light bleed or more
painkiller of sorts in secure

[warm notch]

doesnt a grizzly do all that?

[brittle canyon]

poverty run: cheese, 2 cats, 1 bandage in pocket, CAR and vaseline in secure

[brittle canyon]

need 2x2 slot rig to quickbind

also you lose the whole thing when you die

[elfin elm]

everything except painkiller, but it's big and slow to use as well

[warm notch]

i have a grizzly in my pouch

[brittle canyon]

pouch cannot be quickbound

[elfin elm]

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

[brittle canyon]

also you need secure space for painkillers keys etc

[elfin elm]

you're gonna need to read that

[edgy plover]

Think of meds as a 5 thing checklist:
1: Damage: This simply is damage to any part of your body. This is fixed by a medkit. There are many kinds of medkits, each will have a different amount of HP that they will restore and some will have other injuries that they can fix. (AI-2, CAR, IFAK, AFAK, Salewa, Grizzly)
2. Light bleed: This is slow Damage over time (DOT), has a chance to proc whenever you get shot, depending on the bullet. It's fixed using a bandage, as well as many medkits.
3. Heavy bleed: This is fast DOT, and functions very similarly. Some medkits can fix this, however, tourniquets are the cheapest and most available option. (Esmarch, CAT, Hemostat)
4. Fracture: When you take heavy damage you can get a fracture, which affects limbs differently. If your legs are fractured then you can't run or jump, if its your arms then you can't aim without wobbling. It can be fixed using any splint, or fixed temporarily using painkillers.
5. Blackout: This happens when any limb has its HP reduced to 0. Functions the same as a fracture, but can only be fixed using a surgery kit (CMS, Surv12) or temporarily fixed with painkillers.

[brittle canyon]

fracture causes pain while blacked limb does not

[warm notch]

so i should be good bringing painkillers, cms, salewa, bandage and esmarch?

[edgy plover]

Yet painkiller does alleviate blacked limb penalties similarly

[brittle canyon]

the screen effects of pain is more debilitating tbh

[elfin elm]

there are alternatives, but this covers it yeah

[warm notch]

sweet

[brittle canyon]

never run esmarch, cat is same price but works 2s quicker

vaseline goldenstar or ibuprofen in secure

try not to use analgin

[rugged steeple]

don't forget splints, you need them for fractures

[elfin elm]

I actually didn't know that, this is a good tip

[warm notch]

i have esmarch already in my stash

[brittle canyon]

sell em

[warm notch]

i have an ali splint

[rugged steeple]

bring that, you are gonna need it

[warm notch]

why?

[rugged steeple]

broken bones needs to be fixed

[elfin elm]

short duration, tanks your hydration

[sleek hamlet]

when is it considered a run through?

[brittle canyon]

very short duration and hydration drain

[cobalt rover]

do you mean water collecter?

[brittle canyon]

less than 400 xp

[elfin elm]

less than 7 minutes or less than 11k xp

scuse me, what xy said

[sleek hamlet]

ok

[brittle canyon]

either camp 7 mins or tap a scav and touch the body

if you just kill a scav it’s not enough you need the search xp

[elfin elm]

staying in raid 7 minutes gives the 400 xp, just fyi

that's why that works

[edgy plover]

Did that change recently?

[brittle canyon]

that’s how i remember it

[elfin elm]

let me check it then

[edgy plover]

Pretty sure it was 200

[elfin elm]

I remember it being higher

[warm notch]

whats CAT?

where do i get it?

[edgy plover]

CAT tourniquet from Peacekeeper

[elfin elm]

wiki says 200

[warm notch]

this look okay?

anything else i need / dont need?

[elfin elm]

you can't buy the alu splint again if you die, so maybe save it in your container

maybe same with salewa, up to you

[edgy plover]

Put splint in pouch, do you have spare ammo to repack?

[brittle canyon]

alu in secure
if you have gamma you can have salewa in secure and just have cheese in pocket
bring 1 more cat

[warm notch]

I have like 800 PS yeh

[brittle canyon]

also quicbind your heals

[elfin elm]

oh, and repair that armor

[warm notch]

how?

[edgy plover]

Might be worth bringing a stack to repack in raid.

Bind heals by tapping 4-9 while hovering over them in your pockets or rig

[solar latch]

Whats the best container to store all my keys in my stash?

[brittle canyon]

keytool

sicc

[edgy plover]

Docs/sicc

[edgy plover]

Or a rig like an mppv if budget

[brittle canyon]

1 more cat

[solar latch]

Think ill use a rig. Thanks.

[brittle canyon]

also sell the melee

[warm notch]

to who?

[brittle canyon]

jaeg

and just pick up scav melee every raid and sell that if you care

[warm notch]

okay

done

anything else?

[solar latch]

Id keep the black knife. 4 black knives + bayonet = UMP trade to peacekeeper

[brittle canyon]

they nerfed ump like twice so far this wipe and the barter isn’t too convenient anymore tbh

[edgy plover]

Still an above average gun/ammo with ll1 traders

[warm notch]

my pouch look okay or should i change stuff~?

[edgy plover]

Those keys aren’t worth it

Save the room in there for things you find in-raid

Might be worth taking a stack of ammo to repack as well

[solar latch]

Can you get all keys from all maps? Like if i just ran filing cabinets on streets 24/7?

[edgy plover]

Yea, not sure if all keys can spawn in cabinets. But all can spawn in jackets wherever

[brittle canyon]

I think they nerfed jackets but idk just anecdote

[solar latch]

Any recommendations for jacket runs? I hear dorms customs but i only rat as i am very bad at pvp

[brittle canyon]

people skip jackets

go dorms late or go in with some budget run that punches up

[edgy plover]

Shoreline village has the highest concentration

[brittle canyon]

dorms uncontested half the time

and you can hit safes and everything goes straight into your docs

[shadow plover]

where do you get docs cases?

[brittle canyon]

thera 2 barter

or flea

[solar latch]

Ill do shoreline. I like that map. Thanks

[shadow plover]

what items do thera require for the docs? dont have lvl 2 yet

im only lvl5 right now

[elfin elm]

save for an rsass

you need one for a gunsmith task later, and the earliest you can get it is via a dogtag barter

[warm notch]

okay

[tender summit]

meaning a safety net?

[elfin elm]

lets you take out a sus guy without waiting for him to get tagged, and still stay about 6 after losing some

so yeah, safety net

[tender summit]

oh ok

thank you!

[brittle canyon]

if you incur any rep loss past 6 any incrimication will always drop you down below 6

[brittle canyon]

no, if you steadily gain scav rep I recommend cashing out on a boss kill or pscav kill so your rep gain isn’t wasted otherwise

although this will mean you will not have fence ll4 tab half the time

[grizzled swift]

is it possible to rotate the gun? so it fit into my storage item

[brittle canyon]

press r while holding mouse

[grizzled swift]

youve changed my life

❤️

[wispy prism]

is this worth it?

[brittle canyon]

what quest

fftw2? do it

[wispy prism]

skier

[summer cedar]

what's the fastest way to get my money spent up with peacekeeper? I have all the rep and lv requirements, but i need to spend 10k$ to get him to lv3, but i don't buy anything from pk so idk what to get

[brittle canyon]

just buy dollars

or buy and sell guns back and forth to burn dollars

[wispy prism]

this is my balance atm

[brittle canyon]

just buy dollars

[wispy prism]

question is, should i do the quest or no?

is it worth it?

[brittle canyon]

do it

[edgy plover]

Quite a few quests locked behind that

So worth imo

[elfin elm]

you have to finish it in order to start any tasks from peacekeeper outside of daily/weekly tasks

[edgy plover]

No that's just Part 1 now

[brittle canyon]

pk quests are now behind fftw1 I think

[elfin elm]

:0

[wispy prism]

but i should probably not buy dollars for rub's.

[edgy plover]

No you should, very worthwhile

[wispy prism]

Yeah i have this peacekeeper task

[elfin elm]

buy diaries and sell those to him

dollars are very useful still

[brittle canyon]

well if you can wait until flea to buy info items for better conversion rate do that then

[elfin elm]

PK sells a lot of good shit

[summer cedar]

wait you can sell diaries to pk? just the 2x1s or is it a good idea to sell the 1x1 slim diaries to him as well

[wispy prism]

I sold my sdiaries to pk

[elfin elm]

intel in general

[wispy prism]

a while ago already

[elfin elm]

slim diaries give you about 35k worth of dollars

I think

[bronze flint]

Anyone know any lab keycard spawns? I need one more for jaeger

[summer cedar]

what about HDDs and SAS drives? I have a bunch of those

[elfin elm]

ye

sas for sure, I forget about hdd

[edgy plover]

Anything that’s classed as an info item

Not HDDs

[brittle canyon]

hard drives are electronics

[summer cedar]

how do i know what's considered info?

[edgy plover]

Double click on it, it will tell you what kind of item it is underneath the title of the item

[elfin elm]

could just go to PK and see if he buys it, lol

[edgy plover]

You don’t want to sell PK just anything that he buys though

[summer cedar]

neat. In any case, once i complete cult pt1, i get access to m856a1 right? I hear that's a good round. are 5.56 guns worth running? I've been holding off on them because I hear any ammo that isn't labelled a1 is really bad to use

[elfin elm]

true

[edgy plover]

Once you get 56a1, 556 becomes viable

[elfin elm]

unless you just need dollars, and don't need rubles

[smoky wolf]

Pretty sure you can craft that

[elfin elm]

workbench 2

lvl 20

[smoky wolf]

Yep

[edgy plover]

Even then, you can get more dollars selling to the right trader and buying dollars after

[elfin elm]

probably but that's often more math than some people want to do

not saying you're wrong, but sometimes lazy wins

[edgy plover]

Fair enough
