[weary meteor]

You still need to deliver the helmet tho or na

[sage mesa]

yeah and kill him again

didnt have the task ready at that point lol

[weary meteor]

I hate the new spawns on killa

[sage mesa]

i killed him like twice on streets but got exfil camped both times

[weary meteor]

Ran interchange for like 30 runs last night but found him 0 times

[sage mesa]

he spawns near pinewood on streets if you have decent fps

i found it alot easier as you can actually see

[weary meteor]

Thinking maybe i should hunt him there

And exfill klimov

[sage mesa]

good idea

ive never actually been able to extract klimov without dying idk whats up with it

i flare in the spot and it doesnt work

[weary meteor]

I dont aim straight up but like building high

Wait for like 5sec and then go

[sage mesa]

ah ive been aiming straight up is that why?

and probably not waiting either lol

[weary meteor]

Idk i aim it like quite high but not straight

Make sure your in the “flare the area” zone also

[sage mesa]

will do, thanks

[ember siren]

20 degress down from looking all the way up i believe

[frosty sluice]

why when i play scav it runs fine but once i start playing pmc i start lagging is there a way to fix that?

[brittle canyon]

lower graphics

restart game

[amber wave]

I need to start dying more so I can get over this solo gear fear ive developed

[past river]

horde all the loots gear fear was a term created by the youtubers to get you to bring them all your good gear

😛

[amber wave]

Ive got too much shit to keep hoarding all the goodies

[past river]

sell some then

[amber wave]

fair

[past river]

im just a horder i feel empty if my stash isnt constantly bursting at the welds

[amber wave]

I just feel like Ive gotten 100x worse as a player now that im trying solo

I played solo nly for probably 500 hours and then put in another 500 or so with a duo partner

now trying to go back to play alone I move too slow and im jumpy

[past river]

that will happen, especialy if your used to having a duo etc as its an extra set of eyes and ears. i have spent most my time solo (my duo partner isnt on as much this wipe) only thing i can say is embrace the suck.

but i found i have better results when i play more aggressively, sitting still as a solo allways ends in me being out positioned

[plucky cliff]

do the fuel tanks have to be full to be used in a barter or can they be empty

[sage mesa]

can be empty

[craggy hull]

Its just an action game, the solo anxiety limits us, especially when at contact, when we in fact need to reposition fast.

You should always be the one pushing, where you stand a lot more in group.

[sage mesa]

honestly if i just set myself to be aggressive i usually win fights

if im scared im gonna die ill most likely die

[craggy hull]

Agressivity wins fights, rule 1 of CQB

Thats the "streamer advantage" the lack of care for the stuff itself.

[sage mesa]

i didnt know pmcs spawned so close to UN roadblock on woods wtf

[mild snow]

when am i able to buy 60 round m4 mags

[sage mesa]

barter lvl 3/4 peacekeeper i think

[amber wave]

my issue is just being too wary to make any decisions

[craggy hull]

Just fuck em up

[amber wave]

fair

[craggy hull]

Play shotgun i'tll fix it

[sage mesa]

set yourself a goal when you're going into a raid if you have worries

[sage mesa]

this

some people need to invest in an ssd fr

[tropic dock]

whats a good way to do tarkov shooter part 1

Ive not gotten a single kill in months for that

[merry swift]

Do it on woods or lighthouse

Plenty scavs at longer distances there that you can safely plink away at

You can score multiple hits on the same scav btw

So shoot him in the leg twice then in the head and you can do the entire quest with only 2 scavs

[tropic dock]

I think APM does too much damage for that right

[merry swift]

AP-M won't twoshot somebody in the leg

You need 220+ damage for that, AP-M does like 90, 95?

And drops over range, too

[sage mesa]

omdtrhkinj\sefrtdmh j\

i got my lion and died to a chater

im done

literally first bullet through bushes then all i can hear is bullets flying over my head

so close to the extract as well its actually not funny anymore

[rotund lagoon]

If I take a helmet into Praktice eaid will it loose found in raid?

[craggy hull]

Btw 3 USB in the last raids Barry

[sage mesa]

huh?

[craggy hull]

Didnt you need USBs

[sage mesa]

nope lions

i have alot of those

[craggy hull]

Must been another dude

[craggy hull]

wtf you keep them 4 ?

[sage mesa]

Idk just in case

Sell like shit rn

I know for a fact as soon as i finish this quest ill find these lions like every raid

[tropic dock]

Man I hate this, I camp Scav house for 20 minutes with no scavs and when one spawns in i miss every shot and he runs way

and I get sniped instantly

I hate this quest T-T

Im not gonna get this quest done ever

[sage mesa]

tarkov shooter 1?

[tropic dock]

yes

[sage mesa]

yeah those suck

[woeful spruce]

i recomend trying to do it on sniperscavs, i do it on shoreline on rock passage sniperscavs or power station, there can be up to 2 on each of those

[rotund lagoon]

diference betwen the desert and black mp7?

exept for the price they are like 50 k apart rpm are the same

[weary meteor]

On the desert you can add a grip

[merry swift]

Just wait till they stand still

Its much easier then

Also wouldn't recommend camping until scavs spawn

That can take a good while

[tough oyster]

is the flir needed for any gunsmith quest?

[sage mesa]

no but the reapir is

[leaden cove]

can anyone help me learn streets im having problems knowing where i am

[thick cape]

if you ask in #pvp-lfg someone more than likely will jump in a VC with you and help.
I personally don't know streets that well to help

[leaden cove]

ok thx

[lost basalt]

What are the best visual settings for daytime raids ? I can't see anything

[reef spoke]

Turn your brightness down , it effects the fog.

Higher brightness = more fog

[lost basalt]

@reef spoke What is better time of raid, for punisher 4 (pmc kills on shoreline) ?

[reef spoke]

Hard to say , just luck of the draw.

[lost basalt]

i mean day or night ?

[reef spoke]

Day more often than not

[light aspen]

how do i get desync removed

[reef spoke]

Blood sacrifice to nikita.

[mint light]

should be fixed now. i turned it off 👍

sorry for the confusion

[light aspen]

ok thanks man

[lost basalt]

did u mean, just gift some bloodsets to him ?

[humble tide]

no, you have to mail him your firstborn

[reef spoke]

Jokes aside , just make sure your net traffic is low and that'll be all you can do. Desync is an issue with how everything is set up

[light aspen]

nah but seriously everyone complaining about cheaters when thats the least of tarkovs problems the desync is insane

[reef spoke]

Not just on your end ,but their end as well

Because the well has been poisoned , so people are emotionally pre-loaded to see cheats where there are none

[light aspen]

exactly

[reef spoke]

Cheats are absolutely an issue , but not as large as folks think , not small , but not " 69% of the player base"

[light aspen]

and im very sure its just an na problem in 3 wipes i havent seen a single cheater in eu but when playing on na is see them allot more often

[tropic dock]

I tried that just now and while there were 2 I couldnt make out either w/o scope

So... I got killed 2 mins into the raid

[distant fable]

69,420%

[tropic dock]

at this point im just thinking i suck abyssmally at this

[brittle canyon]

abysmally

[reef spoke]

ye I was paraphrasing , that you for providing the actual stats. ❤️

[reef spoke]

Glad to see folks using my tool ❤️

[craggy hull]

Shots to pen is so important for real world usability. Thanks man.

[reef spoke]

we're working on getting some other stuff up like shots to 35% for helmets and such but our web guy is currently dealing with IRL war stuff

[true trench]

Bro good luck to that dude.

[craggy hull]

Its pretty clean, ability to select 2 bullets and see them side by side on each tab would be cool

Then anyway am an ULACH boy

Btw shot to pen depend on material too no ?

[reef spoke]

Yes which is why if you mouse over the numbers it gives you a min max range

HP , mat, and a couple other things iirc

[craggy hull]

holly ****

[reef spoke]

Im half tempted to talk with Veritas about using some of his UI elements from battle buddy since BB is out of date to some degree.

So we can pick which armor vs all ammo etc etc

[craggy hull]

Seem like the kind of guy who would be happy to help

[summer cedar]

what's the best item to run in the scav case?

normally i always see people use moonshine, but others have also been saying that 95k is a good way to get quest items

[robust robin]

Moonshine is for 762 guns, kappa items and good armour. Intel is keys and sometimes keycards. I do moonshine but honestly its all just gambling and dont expect to make profit.

[summer cedar]

oh yeah i'm well aware there's no profit

i just want a ledx

[robust robin]

Honesty i was in the same boat as you, i mustve ran 75 moonshines with no ledxs. It was only yesterday i found one on woods in the convoy camp (at lvl45)

Well over 440 raids

[summer cedar]

the usec camp or the medcamp?

[plush mural]

anyone on that want to run a few im newer to game

[ashen wave]

yo if anyone is down to help me learn some more then thanks just dm me and ill accept the message

[robust robin]

The small ones by the lakes

The multiple small bodies of water

[summer cedar]

the one with the minefield?

that's usec camp then

[robust robin]

Idk i dont really know woods callouts

But i think theres ledx spawns in both med camps

[rough flume]

tbch i dont know if ive been cheated too often

maybe like 10 times total this wipe? at least from ones i know were blatent

[steel flax]

what are gp coins good for

[fringe jay]

you can trade them

[robust robin]

Lvoa m4 barter is really good

[dusty mortar]

Can I not buy impact grenades from flea?

[dire rock]

no

[dusty mortar]

Can they only be FIR?

[dire rock]

i believe so

[bright cliff]

anyone wanna do some runs i am lvl 14 first wipe

[torn copper]

whats better at level 14 ump or mpx

[dire rock]

ump

9mm weapons arent very good unless youre running leg meta or put ap and go for headshots

[rough flume]

whats diff between m856a1 and m855a1

[mint light]

55a1 has more pen and less damage

[rough flume]

ah okok

[humble tide]

Along with above 56 is tracer 55 is not

[rough flume]

tracer is grief 😔

[leaden cove]

is there a spawn flash drives that is somewhat common ?

[amber pulsar]

Hey guys

to get my peacekeeper level 2 - is there an item i should be buying and selling to him for minimum money loss?

[pure heart]

Just play the game and sell shit he is willing to buy casually

E.G. go into raid, and when you get out you can sell some of the stuff to him, like weapons, diaries, slim diaries etc.

[craggy hull]

buy dollars

[amber pulsar]

👍

[lost basalt]

just convert trash roubles into supreme dollars , ez 👍

[frail comet]

For putting water filters on flea, do I price a full one around all the other full ones? I see empty ones for like 40k but all the full ones have like 100-110k

I don’t see any full ones for low

[tepid mulch]

should i try n use the tier 6 tank armour i got from prapor or just sell it for 240k

[frail comet]

I’d sell it @tepid mulch

you gon get headeyes anyways

[tepid mulch]

thats all i gotta hear

bring me my money

[frail comet]

unless you got like Altyns to use it with

[edgy plover]

100% buy dollars

[scarlet fiber]

can we put non raid items in the flea market

[edgy plover]

No

Only FIR items

And certain FIR items are also blacklisted

[late fiber]

where can i buy the four set night vision goggles for tak kek helmet

what is best 5.45x39 ammo?

[lost basalt]

your level ?

[late fiber]

15

[lost basalt]

i would say PP

[late fiber]

ah ok

[rough flume]

bp also good 👀

bt when u get prap 3

[edgy plover]

PP and BP are pretty much identical

[snow jewel]

pp is bare minimum

[lost basalt]

he has only level 15, on that stage bp are only for barter

[snow jewel]

or finding them in raid

[rough flume]

flea

i think bt is flea too

i lie bt is not

[lost basalt]

anyway, i don't recommend tracers unless they have op stats

[edgy plover]

Tracers don't matter at all, you really should never let that be part of the decision unless you're sniping from super far

[rough flume]

just super tryhard every 5th bullet tracer 🧠

[steep cosmos]

Can anybody help with the extortionist quest later today

[dire rock]

tracers can make a significant difference in revealing your direction when trying to remain hidden from enemies, there have been numerous times ive found someone in both medium and long range because they had M62/56A1/BT

[vale kindle]

Too much effort

[dire rock]

it shouldn't sway your decision in deciding rounds since pen/dmg makes much more of a difference but dont think that it doesnt have an impact

[rough flume]

if u have decent round like 545 45 then good strat is to topload m855a1 and bottom load like 10 or so m856a1 bullets to indicate ur low in ur mag (60/100 rd mag)

[mint light]

bro think he in the army

[rough flume]

or ur using 60 rd ak mags

[rough flume]

im not saying i do it 😭

its just uses of tracers lol

[plucky cliff]

Tracers are good for short and medium ranges if you want to see where your bullets are going but at longer ranges you’re just giving away your location

[dire rock]

its a good strategy, dont knock people for being smart

[mint light]

bro has a buzzcut and says “check your corners”

tango tango niner one we got enemies at 9 o clock

[rough flume]

LMFAO

[mint light]

overlord whats ur status over

[dire rock]

someone get kicked out bct?

[rough flume]

bro if i got those callouts in game

[mint light]

i think it would be kinda funny to talk like that

[plucky cliff]

You gotta admit saying “tango down” after you just obliterated some guy is pretty fun

[mint light]

target neutralized

[dire rock]

[plucky cliff]

You gotta have the fashion on point too

How are you supposed to kill people if you don’t look cool while doing it

[mint light]

i wear cool stuff

pick usec because their clothes are way better

[rough flume]

if you dont have black beret mustache?

doomed tbh

[mint light]

i usually go bald

bald with m32

[rough flume]

head too shiny

need to cover ip the shitty haircut

[mint light]

dont care just shift key

[plucky cliff]

If head shiny then it will reflect the sun and blind the enemies

[inner mountain]

damn went into a scav raid and knight was going on a rampage mowing down scavs

[frail comet]

do water filters lose value on flea if they’re almost empty or are people overselling full ones

cuz I have a few full ones but idk if I should sell them for the empty prices or full prices

[inner mountain]

sell them for full price if theyre full

empty are scammers

[frail comet]

bet

[fervent turret]

the durability matters on water filters as it is used to make superwater

is there a scav case for stims?

like one that favours stims

[kindred grotto]

[cedar badger]

Are scav raids still fucked up or is my game fucked up somehow

[edgy plover]

I personally dislike the master list images, they don't tell you anything about good crafting/barter options, and they tell everything you'll ever need, so you end up saving shit WAY too far in advance

Ends up wasting a lot of space.
I prefer https://tarkov-market.com as it tells you everything you need to know about specific items so you can decide if they're worth selling, instead of just cross-referencing a master list not knowing when you'll need what

[shell jay]

First check if you need any FIR - Image shows yes, 5 total needed FIR, save 5 for quests in the future and you sell the rest
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/521620522304405504/1037250866538893363/unknown.png

Then you can check to see if you make more on the market, or on the flea market.
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/521620522304405504/1037250883811024896/unknown.png

Stuff like Diaries for example, don't need to be FIR and can be vendored for higher than flea

[amber pulsar]

Hey guys - just got my mechanic to level 2 - what is the best stuff available that i have unlocked

just curious what is actually good- lots of weapon parts and stuff

i see there is the m4 and scar recievers

[edgy plover]

Nothing crazy, but a lot of nice small things.
The AK-101 mag lets you use that gun
The low profile gas block is great for building M4's
Lot of nice muzzle adapters that will let you mount suppressors on more things
Few mounts that allow optics to be put on more guns
Certain handguards for AK's and M4's that open up customization with those a lot

[amber pulsar]

i see nice - so just general more access to builds without getting ripped off on the flea

cool cool

[lavish tinsel]

Why dont i get these lobbies when i solo? Everyone is just a cracked up quattroace on steroids in my raids. Still shit tho. 1.4k hours and cant even survive raids

[amber pulsar]

Just a little question as well - when it comes to going for sniping i have been using the gornostay VPO - is the mosin much better for the price

seems like it probably is but the vpo is so cheap!

[edgy plover]

VPO is really nice, but the muzzle velocity is quite different, so sniping at long range is much easier with a mosin
I like the ease of mounting sights and suppressors on the VPO, and it's super cheap, but unless you're using AP-M the mosin ammo is significantly better when it comes to penetrating armor

[amber pulsar]

hmm yeah i thought that was the case

noticed the EKO ammo doesn't seem to have much punch

is my personal issue with it - nice and cheap to use for killing scavs but anything with armour is tough

might swap over to the mosin - going for the tarkov shooter 3 so probably going to be using the bolt actions for a while

[edgy plover]

That said, if you can get your hands on .366 APM, it's certainly the best

[amber pulsar]

i assume that

is not a low level trader bullet

will keep an eye for it

[primal yacht]

Mech3

[amber pulsar]

alright- well guess ill just sell my vpo - or maybe run it until i die with it idk

need to kill scavs on customs so it does the job

thanks very much for the help guys - everyone on this server is so kind :)

[edgy plover]

[late fiber]

why cant i fold the ak74u?

[storm tree]

butt pad

[edgy plover]

It has a recoil pad

#community-support

[wide stag]

Hello again! Soo I've been playing for a couple weeks now and have started to get the hang of the game more and more. I'm playing on a standard account because it feels a bit weird getting eod with the whole cheater thing going on and its really expensive, nevertheless its been really enjoyable except for 1 thing. I for the life of me can't level jeager, all the dailies I got for him haven't rewarded me with any rep and most of his quests are quite difficult while giving +0.02 rep at the very most while a lot of of other quest reduce his rep. Is there something I am missing? Its currently my main block as I can't upgrade my hideout any further without leveling him so its quite frustrating

[frail comet]

personal opinion but I wouldn’t even bother upgrading hideout if you’re that new I don’t think it’s really worth until like level 20. also if you’re absolutely desperate for rep EOD will give you +20 for all traders

+.20*

[edgy plover]

You’re not missing anything, it’s absurd how annoying it is to level him with a standard account.
But just keep questing, don’t worry about the hideout

[frail comet]

@wide stag yes it is expensive but if you’re not getting EOD mainly because of the “cheating thing” you’re holding yourself back because I promise u cheaters wont make u hate the game that much unless you main labs or resort, I’m a customs/lighthouse/woods main and I can count on one hand how many times I’ve died to obvious cheaters

[bold kernel]

Neither labs or resort is cheater heavy either.

My labs pvp servers are nearly empty for cheaters

Its all about the servers

[bitter sable]

how do you tell bear from usec?

[bold kernel]

Voice, clothing

If you’re a real gigachad, face.

Also, it shows on the dogtag

[bitter sable]

no i mean if i encounter another operator

how do you even tell in that split second

is there a penalty for killing members of your own faction?

[bold kernel]

Nope

[bold kernel]

You dont

[bitter sable]

great

[bold kernel]

There’s no reason to wanna know

Just kill everything and you’ll be fine

[bitter sable]

okay

unless you are playing as a scav right?

[daring ginkgo]

as scav its better to make sure its a pmc/traitor scav before you shoot, if you care about scav karma at least

[muted juniper]

Benefit of killing tagilla?

does he have anything good?

[fervent turret]

decent armor and need his helmet for a quest iirc

[muted juniper]

how do you kill him the best way last time i shot him it did nothing to him

[fervent turret]

high pen ammo to the head probably? or a lotta ammo to anywhere else

[muted juniper]

idk man i tried unloading into him with a ppsh but it did nothing he beat me over the head with a hammer

[fervent turret]

he wears a T6 or T4 armored rig

so a PPSH would need to aim for legs

[muted juniper]

legs?

[fervent turret]

no armor on legs

ppsh is flesh ammo

[muted juniper]

huh ig that makes sense

[fervent turret]

ppsh will feel like a bb gun against his armor

[muted juniper]

i noticed

i dont know any maps other than factory

[fervent turret]

learn customs in offline

[frail comet]

play customs or woods

[fervent turret]

your initial tasks will take you customs & woods

throw your scav in on those maps too

[muted juniper]

about tasks why is it when i need to kill scavs on woods all the scavs disapear

[fervent turret]

that’s tarkov for u

desire sensor is real

[muted juniper]

is there food on reserve?

[gaunt silo]

i recently had to learn ammo....... if trader level is low, you will need to aim for flesh wounds with the ammo you can buy off them. at some point you can buy the 5.56x45 M856A1 at level 2 with someone then you can kill more efficiently but a lot of ammo are just found in raids that do a lot of damage. Don't know if i'm explaining myself well here but this is what i found out, it's all about the ammo

[edgy plover]

Quite a few food crates, especially if you have keys

[gaunt silo]

i do scav runs at interchange if i want food

[muted juniper]

whats the best weapon for lvl1 traders

[gaunt silo]

whatever you are comfortable with, it's all about the ammo

[spring pumice]

is there any way i could have improved on this or is this literally just raider ai lol

[gaunt silo]

you could try sks with a scope and ps ghz ammo then snipe scavs in woods

[fervent turret]

you needa reposition asap

[topaz sigil]

should i keep or sell my bitcoin? i have 1 i got from spa tour part 2

[frail comet]

Keep IMO I think u need 10 for weapon case and they’re had to get w traders cuz always sold out

[prime sapphire]

^ Yeah what relatable said. Once he looked at you you need to be on the move already

They will lazerbeam you you dont want to take them headon after that run to a diff position and try to cheeze an easy headshot

Move right away after dropping the other two and you had a fighting chance

[bold kernel]

anyone wanna help me im new

[edgy plover]

Sell

[wide stag]

@edgy plover Glad I didn't miss anything atleast :), thanks for clarifying!

are there by chance any known plans on changes or is it gonna take a while if it all?

[wide stag]

Its just one of the reasons, I'll just wait it out a bit longer

thanks for the response though!

[edgy plover]

There’s lots of things allegedly planned, very little confirmed and nothing has a timeline.
Check out NoiceGuy on YouTube if you want to get a look at the closest thing to a roadmap Tarkov has

[dull storm]

after they lock on your going to get aimbotted you overpeaked shouldve took cover after sending out shots

you almost got all of them tho that was nice

[torn copper]

Can somebody explain this?

[worn hemlock]

does anyone have a P226 Stainless Elite pistol slide

[frosty scaffold]

@torn copper thermal?

[torn copper]

it was a player scav

[frosty scaffold]

it can spawn with a thermal

[torn copper]

he missed that many shots then shot me in the tape from so far away in complete darkness and i don't even have the slighest clue from where

[frosty scaffold]

i spawned with one yesterday

[frosty scaffold]

well idk aboute that

[torn copper]

even if it was a thermal how did he get that lucky shot when he missed like 30

[frosty scaffold]

...

i had player like that

in a raid and f my ass in the sun set when with the nv u dont see good and even without them

[alpine arrow]

I killed traitor scav and other scavs started shooting to me i got 0.03 for killing traitor scav

I saw other scavs shooting him and i killed him while he was looting

Then scavs started shooting me

(I survived)

Whot

[edgy plover]

Let me know if you're still lookin for a hand :)

[small bolt]

Question, When i Scav today a guy rushed me in dorms. Since he surprised med by charging at me full speed, and he didn’t look much like a scab I blasted him. Prob a player scav, didn’t mind since I was tapped in the head by a scav later on. Decides to go Pmc with pacca and SKS. Almost instant tapped by chad with m4 and m68 ammo… wha I do wrong

[mint light]

nothing

people are geared

u get one tapped it happens

[worldly python]

I would avoid Dorms-like PvP (or PvP in general) while you're starting out. When you unlock the flea market, you're able to buy better gear.

[bold kernel]

right hand peek try not to peek same angle twice they cant track well or see you if u hold tight right hand peek

[small bolt]

Usually avoids dorms as pms since I’m shi, but I spawned in and a guy spawned about 20 m from me and tapped me 2 minutes in… insurances and 200k roubles sim

[bold kernel]

i would learn spawns or maybe even sit still for a min or two on raid start, customs very linear map, the spawn points towards train track and new gas almost always have pmcs crossing paths so sittiing and wait although is pus, how the game is played

[upbeat fable]

Question if we have already done the quest of one that’s been changed xp wise would we get the missing xp or no

[left night]

no

[small bolt]

Maybe i should leave customs and go Woods…

[bold kernel]

woods is a scary place ...

[small bolt]

so is customs when Mr.Chad when a m4 clap my Pacca cheeks…not worse than a thermal sniper tho

[scarlet fiber]

woods is more peaceful

[bold kernel]

lmfao yea saw that clip poor dude seemed like cheese

supposedly bunch of people got banned for hacking bouta start grinding again we can run some custys if u got quest or sum

[small bolt]

Sure, i even have a m4 i stole But its like giving a 5 yo a Stinger, won’t hit shit

[bold kernel]

lol word ima hop on in bit just chillin rn ima dm later if u tryna play

[high prawn]

would there possibly be a kind soul willing to help me organize my horrendous stash

[bold kernel]

i gotchu

go into beginners 17 if u want me to help

[urban bobcat]

where does the altyn FS go on

like which helmet

[reef monolith]

The altyn

[amber pulsar]

is this a good barter?

[lavish tinsel]

Why would this dude bring in a glock with 3 50 mags? when its single fire Dude is lvl 44 aswell

[amber pulsar]

he clearly just has lots of enemies

[lavish tinsel]

[urban bobcat]

cant find on flee

[lavish tinsel]

cant buy altyn on flee

FIR only

[urban bobcat]

im gonna cry

[reef monolith]

I think it’s banned yeah

[urban bobcat]

:((

whats the best head piece on flee then

[lavish tinsel]

ulach imo

but its 70k

[urban bobcat]

i have a 2mil budget for kit (gun, armour, ammo etc)

[lavish tinsel]

have u finished samples?

[urban bobcat]

lvl 1 traders and like a solid 7 quests done XD

thats why im reseting

[lavish tinsel]

If you dont want to play headset go with a lshz helmet with a aventail and a face shield

[foggy mountain]

where are people cheesing assessment? lol

ive done about 10 raids and have seen 1 person in that area

[urban bobcat]

Who needs a headset on factory anyway

[lavish tinsel]

ye lshz is actually buyable on flee

[quick otter]

Ye ig

120k

Tbh i would do that

[sage citrus]

what keys i need for locked safe from cansus on streets?

[urban bobcat]

ended up with ZSH cuz better prot

[lavish tinsel]

send ss, idk it

[keen veldt]

anyone want to run some woods, i got some survivalist quests to do

im lvl 13 first wipe so not too experienced

[trail tartan]

Can anyone teach me loot runs in Streets??
lvl 20 I'm down money bad and I never played in Streets.
NAw I can gear up.

[amber pulsar]

lots of filing cabinets

there is a gigabeef video on this exact strat

oh wait

scav run*

My bad

[crimson valve]

Hey im curious if normal item cases are good or not? I have one, but I cant decide if I want to save up for a thicc item's case (I cant find a LEDx for my life so I dont have that one), or just buy another normal items case for now

[celest viper]

Did I really miss every shot or does ash12 just have insane bullet drop or something? https://medal.tv/games/escape-from-tarkov/clips/ZtyHVZ9oUtNGJ/d1337DeXN9ek?invite=cr-MSxmY0osMTYxNjc5MjM5LA

[keen veldt]

is anyone down to run some woods with me, im trying to do some jaeger quests, im lvl 13 and first wipe btw

[lavish tinsel]

ps12a or whatever you're using has insane bullet drop + you're aiming basically on the guy when he is running

[celest viper]

you need to aim infront at that range?

[alpine arrow]

Durability ?

[celest viper]

?

[alpine arrow]

Could be lower accuracy due to lower dura

[lavish tinsel]

I mean, some shots was on him, but you were aiming almost leg level. they would of hit if you aimed a little above him

[celest viper]

Ok

[celest viper]

Is that drop mostly an ash12 thing or all weps similar

[lavish tinsel]

Ps12b ^^

it also depends on ammo

[frail comet]

some ammo have like 400 velocity while some have 900 it’s important to know before using

[lavish tinsel]

id say your shots was at around 70-100m maybe 125-150m

[snow jewel]

no reason not to have 2 items cases, the barter for thicc case doesn't need the ledx to be fir iirc @crimson valve

[ionic urchin]

is rb-kprl even worth buying

[ionic urchin]

so yes im fairly new lvl 30 first wipe

[rustic geode]

Can anyone help me with woods?

[craggy hull]

There is no answer, if it tends to be on your way its a folder spawn, a folder is around 300k.

[ionic urchin]

i always loot dome bc i got red rebel so i just loot an leave

[vague sparrow]

If i kill a BOSS as a scav how much rep do i lose

[stiff fractal]

Alot

[torn copper]

does interchange still have the 100% iskra spawn in 4x4?

[vague sparrow]

i thought that you only lose 6 if you are at 6 karma or over

[snow jewel]

they're jokin

[vague sparrow]

lol ok so how much rep would i lose if im at 5.5 karma

[high prawn]

Just finished an assignement, decided to run some reserve, didnt last too long

yay

[patent smelt]

does the counter ( x / 100 ) matter in wfilter price?

[cloud void]

Yes thats the amount of the filter remaining to be used but if you're selling it doesnt really matter

If you're buying that number matters a lot

[hasty sedge]

do air filters get used when ur outta raid?

[patent smelt]

but if im selling it on flea that would mean it does matter with that logic

[cloud void]

People accidentally buy used filters all the time so you could technically get away with it but if you want to be a smart person selling used filters for discounted rates is easier

[whole thistle]

The flea tax goes up the lower the durability

[whole moss]

What do i do with a ginger lucky keychain?

Gingy keychain*

[whole thistle]

use it if you have no docs case

[whole moss]

Idk what a docs case is lmao

[snow jewel]

its for kappa, if you're low lvl then sell

[snow jewel]

holds keys, money, diaries

[whole thistle]

Key holding box you put in your container

[whole moss]

Ahh

Daaaamn 50k for a keychain lol

[snow jewel]

second pic is the storage

[whole moss]

Ooo alright, i havent done any objectives yet

[snow jewel]

do u have eod?

[whole moss]

Whats eod

[snow jewel]

edge of darkness

[whole moss]

Yes

[snow jewel]

then you can buy from thera

its this barter

[whole moss]

Who does that trade

Oo otherapist

[snow jewel]

therapist

[whole moss]

She isnt selling one

[snow jewel]

oh right

you gotta get to a certain level before you get therapist lvl 2

[whole moss]

Im level 3 lol

[snow jewel]

yea just keep grinding levels lol

[whole moss]

Eh i dont think ill ever grind this game out. So frustrating

I get the random gear every wipe so ive been using that

[snow jewel]

i gotta kill so many scavs lmao

the task is easy

running around like a bozo lookin for them is annoying

[whole moss]

Ive been only playing factory, as its super easy to learn

[snow jewel]

you're gonna lose money super fact

friends n i lost 3 mil today just looking for tagilla

you're better off learning customs

[whole moss]

I cant NOT run into fuckin tagilla

[whole thistle]

Stagnation

[amber depot]

Factory without the emergency exit key is a gamble

[snow jewel]

it isnt

its called death

[whole moss]

I usually go out gate 3

[snow jewel]

gate 3 is camped every time

[amber depot]

You gamble that you get 1 kill or none

[whole thistle]

thats the only extract you can use as pmc without the key

[whole moss]

I havent found campers there yet

[snow jewel]

stocked up on these bad boys

they're like 90k at night

[whole moss]

Whats the emergency exit? Like ive only gone out gate 3 or bunker camera door

[snow jewel]

theres a few, the one near medical tent is my fav

[whole thistle]

all of the pmc extracts except gate 3

[snow jewel]

terminator lookin ahh scav

[whole moss]

Dang

Guess ill try customs, factorys been lighting me up today

Loading in, pray for me 💔

[snow jewel]

gl lmao

[whole moss]

I got murdered, but it was my fault

[gaunt hamlet]

what meds should i bring in a raid? im bring an afak, ibuprofen and a cms but know i can bring something better

[craggy hull]

Get an alu splint and something for heavy bleeds.

[weary mist]

anyone know if this actually does anything for sound? dont wanna pay for them suppressors (this is for an RFB)

[remote pollen]

Best place to find injector case??

[craggy hull]

It does not.

[weary mist]

ah alrright thanks

[whole moss]

I do not like customs. I run for 10mins just to get sniped randomly

[high crescent]

i usually die in the first couple minutes of customs it’s okay

[whole moss]

I have better survival chances on factory

Boutta go back to shotgun goblin

[frail comet]

Dorms marked room prob

they can be found in the warehouse in front of the railroad tracks too

On the shelf

[dire rock]

my recommendation is be able to fix all injuries: bleeding/fracture and blacked out limb, beyond that just bring as many hp meds as you feel youll need

[whole moss]

Is buckshot or or lead slugs better

[foggy mountain]

anyone stuck on assessment?

[signal mirage]

Hey guys I'm super new this wipe and just getting back into the game, lvl 3 primarily doing woods or customs literaly on the first two quests

[dire rock]

do you know the difference between the 2?

[dire rock]

sup

[whole moss]

Ye, slugs are normal ish rounds, and buckshot is spread

[stray swan]

just magnum buckshot and push or flechettes is what u want

[dire rock]

there you go, put all your dmg into one well aimed shot or just peek and shoot with buckshot, up to you but buckshot is the more commonplace choice

[whole moss]

But does lead slugs actually kill in one to two shots

[dire rock]

i think its more like 3-4 ill check

depends where you hit

[whole moss]

I plan on using the double barrel

[stray swan]

ks23 / shrap - 10 i think does alot of flesh dmg and will kill in 1-2 hits depends on where u hit

[whole moss]

Ill use poleva slugs and see what happens

[stray swan]

this should be helpful, sorry if im wrong for posting a link

@whole moss https://eft-ammo.com/

[whole moss]

How do i get fletchette shells

[willow storm]

Craft, jaegar lvl 3 after woods cleaning or flea(very expensive)

[ionic urchin]

how many mag boxes for a lucky scav box

[dire rock]

3

[whole moss]

Damn, i dont do objectives

[ionic urchin]

thank you

[stray swan]

can buy em on flea for about 2k a round currently i believe.

[dire rock]

quests are a necessity youll never progress without them

[whole moss]

Progress to what

[dire rock]

better gear

[stray swan]

unlocking more items with barters, level up traders

[ionic urchin]

air filtration unit worth it

[dire rock]

yes

[stray swan]

yes good boost to skills

working on that right now myself

[ionic urchin]

bet thank you

[whole moss]

Seems like no matter what i use tho i die lmao

[frail comet]

Bc ur using garbage low level shit

do quests level up

unlock flea and higher level traders

[dire rock]

youll get better with time, experience is the biggest factor in how well you do

[whole moss]

Seems like a long ass grind to unlock fles

[frail comet]

not if you do quests

[ionic urchin]

i got 2000 round of m995 should i stop makin them sorry if askin alot it my first wipe

[dire rock]

quest xp is how you level up pretty much, higher lvl=more weapons/mods

[dire rock]

you plan on using all that lol

[whole moss]

Guess ill try out one or two and see what happens

[ionic urchin]

i dont do quest much idk where to go most the time

[dire rock]

wiki is your best friend

[ionic urchin]

i like wen my bullets acually kill so yes

[dire rock]

keep in mind 995 has very low dmg and a recoil modifier

[ionic urchin]

i tried that for task but just die wen i get there to a team im lvl 30 of gunsmith an pvp

[dire rock]

also most people rn dont have lvl 5 armor

every raid is different, yeah youre gonna die getting quests done, its a part of the game but if you dont level up those traders youll be stuck paying outrageous prices for the items you can still buy off flea

[ionic urchin]

i got eod an do alot of the dailys my traders are all lvl 3

[whole moss]

How do i get the parts to build the mp-133 mechanic wants me to build?

[ionic urchin]

but my dailys are mostly find and transfers

[dire rock]

you get 1 of each

extract/elim/find and transfer and a weekly

[ionic urchin]

i finish the find and transfer then reroll the rest

[dire rock]

oh you reroll them

[ionic urchin]

yessir that bad ?

[dire rock]

that reduces rep and costs money

tbh i have no clue how you got your traders to lvl 3 without doing their quests

[ionic urchin]

im to the point were it just started costin 1 rep so i havent done it in like two days

eod

[dire rock]

damn is lvl 3 that low of rep

guess i never realized

[ionic urchin]

it gave me like 25 to 30 rep with all traders i just needed like 2 or 5 more to get em to 3 so was easy

[whole moss]

I cant buy the parts to build the gun lol

[ionic urchin]

rag man need 32

[dire rock]

it tells you how to get all the parts on the right side of the table

[ionic urchin]

lvl 32

[dire rock]

good job ig lol

[whole moss]

It just says who its sold huy

By

[ionic urchin]

for my fist wipe playin solo religiously im happy

[dire rock]

if you cant buy it then you gotta find it or get it off flea

[dire rock]

you seem to be doing quite well for yourself

[whole moss]

Jaeger sells some of it, and i dont have him unlocked lol

[dire rock]

gotta get other quests done, you should get introduction from mech and that gives you jaeger

[ionic urchin]

thank you ive not developed gear fear yet that the thing im worried gonna f with me

[dire rock]

typically you start with gear fear not develop it

[ionic urchin]

oh well then i should be good

[dire rock]

[ionic urchin]

[whole moss]

Mmm i love that i need that i have to grind some mfin gun for parts that can randomly spawn anywhere. Ooooo ahhh

[ionic urchin]

thats what im grindin for lvl 36 for thicc cases an just better trades id like to be able to buy the labs cars too

[dire rock]

just focus on any other quests you have to get flea, if you happen to find the parts then thats a plus

[ionic urchin]

the love hate relationship that is tarkov welcome

[whole moss]

Im still gonna complain lmao

[ionic urchin]

we all do at sum point

[whole moss]

Its not even hate, just bad quest design

[frail comet]

oh buddy just wait

[ionic urchin]

im sayin

[dire rock]

if it was easy, anyone could do it

[ionic urchin]

i dont do task bc the reason you just stated an bc trying to task as a solo just diff

[craggy hull]

[whole moss]

Fr, wouldnt want anyone playing tarkov for fun lol

[ionic urchin]

i dooooooo

for now

[whole moss]

Ill stick to my crap gear that the game gives me every wipe, dick around

[craggy hull]

Tarkov is a fun arcade game, you just dont know about it.

[dire rock]

same, i love the combat of this game, and considering this was the absolute worst wipe ive seen since i started playing and i still somehow enjoy it i think that is considered fun

[ionic urchin]

all about ammo my friend

[whole moss]

Oh i love the combat, and i dont even mind the mapless stuff, just the progression is poop

[ionic urchin]

facts it my first wipe even after "the video" i still love the game just i get a bt butt hurt here an there cant lie

[dire rock]

ill give you that one, but it gets easier

[whole moss]

Does it tho, seems like every beginning quest is a goosechase 1-2hr grind

[ionic urchin]

it get alot more fun the more you learn the easier it gets

scav alot to get a mental map

[dire rock]

I can usually max out my traders in 3ish weeks now

[whole moss]

Ive learned i dislike customs, but i know factory like the back of my hand

[mild snow]

are the 100 round m4 mags dogshit

[ionic urchin]

customs nighttime liiiiiiit

mrkd room my frirnd

[dire rock]

they kill your ergo and youll prob overheat your gun but other than that they perform as advertised

[mild snow]

🤣 as advertised

ill give it a try

[dire rock]

its a big square that hold many boolet what you want me to say lol

[ionic urchin]

dont put poopoo ammo

yes

[mild snow]

true that

[ionic urchin]

i do yes

[mild snow]

its weird you cant buy 60 round but 100 round is ok

lol

[dire rock]

goofy logic

[ionic urchin]

you can barter for em cant you?

[mild snow]

yeah barter

not on flee tho

[amber depot]

Customs isn’t good at all imo, it’s either a hate or love it seems

[ionic urchin]

yeah i was stuck on gun smith bc it took me a week to find a 60 rounder for the m4\

[whole moss]

Agree

[ionic urchin]

marked room marked room marked room

[dire rock]

cptsmiley and i are gonna run some raids if anyone else wants to join feel free

[ionic urchin]

shiii i would if i was home

[amber depot]

I get near dorms and die, I peek in dorms I die, dorms is literally some people’s entire playstyle

I haven’t gone to the resort yet on pmc cause that’s just big dorms

[ionic urchin]

nighttime my friend

[whole moss]

Im debating how badly i want to join another game of this today

[amber depot]

The only way I got my quests done late into wipe lol

Scav it up, start to learn a new map

Use an external map to help also

[whole moss]

Im gonna take the best possible gear i can get, and absolutely go ape shit on tarkov

[high crescent]

this is true apart from the 5 level 50’s in here who can play this game with their eyes closed

[high crescent]

head eyes

[snow jewel]

at a certain point it does

just running your best loot and rushing every fight cus you can afford to die is fun

the real real fun starts at lvl 55 tho

[stray swan]

Que the "imma break my monitor..i swear" meme

[remote pollen]

What are some of the best things to craft for good money?

[stray swan]

moonshine , ammo , bitcoin farm, water filters just some off top of head

[remote pollen]

What ammo Specifically

[stray swan]

flechettes myself..

simple craft, big gains

[remote pollen]

Okay

Yeah

How much do you profit?

[stray swan]

i farm for the mats so 100% profit.

besides flea fee's

[remote pollen]

30k?

[stray swan]

its almost 2k a round my way..

60 in a craft

[bold kernel]

Stupid question.

Wouldn’t it be a faster money method just to pick up everything, and sell it? Instead of specific items, to spend time, fuel etc. crafting it and then sell it

Especially because its only 30k/hour

You can easily make that x10

[stray swan]

true, but i dont have to spend 2k a shell if i wanna use the ammo either. it works for me and i profit decently off it.

[bold kernel]

Fair enough.

Another stupid question. Why dont you buy it from Jaeger LL3 then?

[stray swan]

i dont think i can buy it yet unfortunately

maybe i overlooked it.

[bold kernel]

Could’ve spent time leveling traders instead of paying 2k/shot 😂

[bold kernel]

It’s task locked. Not sure which one

Some huntsman path

[stray swan]

i have never spent 2k a slot, i think u misread what i said.

i make 2k a slot off the craft of the ammo*

[bold kernel]

We agree you could’ve sold it for 2k/shot. Right?

You lost out on that

[stray swan]

if u find out wich task its locked behind could u post plz?

[bold kernel]

Forest Cleaning

Eliminate 30 scavs

Everywhere. Very easy

[stray swan]

ok, have not done that yet. ty

[bold kernel]

Np, good luck 🙂

[urban wolf]

Is there a website i can use that will tell me how many bullets to pen a 53 durability ghzel

[frail comet]

95ks might be the motive for scav case lads

[shell robin]

hey i need 10 scav kills on shoreline for peace keeper and dont want to spend the whole raid looking at a map so dm me if you are interested im level 28

[brittle canyon]

battle buddy app

[hexed oar]

where can i find the tarcone directors key? and also, can you complete gun smith pt1 without flea?

[brittle canyon]

thera sells directors

scav 133s can have gk break, farm scavs or camp fence until someone sells one to him

[hexed oar]

thank u guys

[proven marlin]

Do u lose KATT when u die? It’s an ax kind a thing

[wispy prism]

should i keep these for my hideout?

188k each on flea

[mighty lagoon]

Depends if you are going to use your hideout for crafting. In my experience upgrading the hideout is worth it so keeping fuel is a good idea.

[proven marlin]

Ty

[hearty elm]

any tips on first starting out ?

[mighty lagoon]

focus on quests; avoid pvp/people; watch lots of youtube videos

[hearty elm]

ok cool woke up and couldnt get back to sleep youtube vifs on this right now is perfect

thank you

[mighty lagoon]

and learn customs for lots of early level quests, for example in offline mode. Learn extracts, that sort of thing

[sage mesa]

just me or are there alot of cheaters on this morning

3 times in a row ive died to some weird shit

[still gale]

is night vision on interchange supposed to look much worse than on other maps? theres much moire noise than normally

same nvg but on customs

[craggy hull]

I mean its darker.

[still gale]

there is better visibility without nvg than with it on this map

[tough gull]

Is there any point to using a 9mm like PP-19 over the UMP?
A passable UMP and 100 rounds of Hydrashok is about what, 90k RUB?
A similar PP-19 is 65k before ammo, and that ammo would be pretty bad compared to Hydrashok at level 2 traders, where it's even worth considering 9x19, so I'm at a loss here.

[still gale]

atleast when talking about PNV-10T

[craggy hull]

I am a night main and I never use NVGs, they have huge drawbacks.

[craggy hull]

Mag capacity amongst other things.

[tough gull]

the damage per mag is still in UMP's favor, though

[craggy hull]

No.

[tough gull]

Hydrashok mag (25 rds) - 2500 damage
9x19 PSO mag (30 rds) - 1770
9x19 Quakemaker - 2550

The point is that hydrashok is LL2, quakemaker is LL3.
Getting QM from flea is what, 420 RUB a piece? If you do that, the UMP becomes cheaper with only less 50 damage per mag.

Furthermore, Hydrashok has 50% fragment chance vs 10% quakemaker. Bleed chances are 0/+30 vs +15/+22 for them

[craggy hull]

You asked about 45 vs 9, the advantage of 9mm is 50 rounders, besides there is others ammos for those 2 calibers than RIP.

[tough gull]

I didn't even mention RIP ammo, though. The PP-19 cannot use bigger than 30 round mags, either

[craggy hull]

If its about PP vs UMP, PP is now interesting as 45AP is hard to get.

[jagged nest]

100% go for ump with hydrashok, unless it is really early wipe tho

[craggy hull]

Where UMP was way superior before.

[jagged nest]

early wipe vector with hydrashok is stronk

[craggy hull]

true

[jagged nest]

those flea/ammo changes made leg meta ammo way better than it was before

like .45 rip is heavy af

i can wear my altyn/slick no matter what on labs, i take 4 leg shots and i am dead

[tough gull]

MPX vs UMP is a more interesting comparison

looks like the PP-19 just sucks ass

[craggy hull]

Facts

[craggy hull]

Was way too strong early wipe.

[jagged nest]

i got one on customs yesterday, meta modded it still blasts

[craggy hull]

MP5 50 rounds at this rate.

[jagged nest]

and almost no recoil, although vector is cheaper and stronger there I'd say

[craggy hull]

vector is the second strongest SMG yup

[jagged nest]

(ok vector boys are hated)

but it is a fact^^

[craggy hull]

Btw the way to see it is "what cartridge can I reliably produce/buy/get and play" then "how do I deliver it", caliber by caliber you get answers.

[tough gull]

MP5 is almost two PP-19s in cost, though

much better, but still

and the ammo is still an issue at lvl 15, so I guess the UMP is still the SMG of choice

[jagged nest]

"as a lvl 50 i love killing lvl 50s with 45 rip" quoting a guy from general chat tonight

should tell everything^^

[craggy hull]

flechette and subsx my man, you gotta poke em in the eyes

[tough gull]

that's in no way relevant to this discussion lol

[jagged nest]

to the discussion we had before

[craggy hull]

oh it is

[tough gull]

shotguns, yeah. 45 RIP not

[craggy hull]

?

[tough gull]

45 RIP is an ammo type not available in reasonable quantities or cost at lvl 15

[craggy hull]

Oh yeah but what make us laugh is flesh ammo.

[jagged nest]

tbh i'd use pp19 early raid along with ump, whatever i feel like. but anyways hydrashok is cheaper and in my opinion it works better. Anyways, i would definitely prefer vector .45 over all of them. And there the .45 RIP ammo, that is why i quoted that guy

[craggy hull]

At 15 you play Shotgun, 5.45 and PS

[jagged nest]

yea due to quests anyways

[tough gull]

Anyways, i would definitely prefer vector .45 over all of them. And there the .45 RIP ammo, that is why i quoted that guy

Otherwise on point, but it's about cost effectiveness and poor availability of competing ammo and guns

[tough gull]

I play .366 TKM and 7.62R because of tarkov shooter lol

[craggy hull]

366 tkm is underrated

206 APM ftw

[jagged nest]

ap-m early wipe is so god damn strong with vpo on factory

easy 25m thorax kills

[tough gull]

yeah, that's my next hurdle... though I think I'll wait till I can craft it myself

[jagged nest]

think about it like this, 1 scav run is multiple 100k's probably. you carry a 25k vpo and 2 mags, so 8 shots ap-m from flea. idk another 10k. and reload ammo in your pouch

no gear, just 15k headset from prapor

[tough gull]

oh, right. I can make do with just that little ammo since it's factory and i'll likely just die anyway

that seems sustainable for a while

[craggy hull]

Shotgun will be easier, use the VPO outside : Lighthouse, Woods, Shoreline

[craggy hull]

A 155 on Factory goes a long way

[craggy hull]

Oh, yeah

Factory peaking it is.

Its a fast one.

[tough gull]

it's not, i am utterly terrible at pvp 😄

[brittle canyon]

either obrez with snb twotap literally anything or vpo apm which had limited onetap potential but struggles with c5+

[craggy hull]

I use a mosin infantry early wipe, I still get a lot of naked/pistol dudes these days, its still ok.

[tough gull]

I have exactly 4 PMC kills (just reached lvl 15)

so it'll take a while

prob 10-15 raids ish

[craggy hull]

take you time, listen to the factory, and act on busy people

the forklift spawn can be an easy 2 kills with a mosin

[tough gull]

does this mean i have to do both tough guy and tkv shooter p3, or is just one enough to get secured perimeter?

[amber pulsar]

got my 3 bolt action <25m yesterday

got a double noscope on some guys doing the same quest

[craggy hull]

Bruh its says "SURVIVALIST - secured perimeter" on this x)

https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/The_Huntsman_Path_-_Secured_Perimeter

[tough gull]

No, I meant what I said. Are both quests required to gain access to secured perimeter, or is either one enough?

[tough oyster]

who sells the Galvion Caiman Hybrid helmet

[craggy hull]

Nobody.

[tough gull]

I have completed Wounded Beast, and it led to Tough Guy, not Perimeter

i'll just complete tough guy and see what happens, i guess

[craggy hull]

I guess, ping me when you know 👍

[craggy hull]

And I meant that there is an error on the tree to start with x)

[tough oyster]

so are there just some stuff that cant be bought at all anymore? like that helmet and the zhuk

[brittle canyon]

caiman is trash you’re not missing out

[craggy hull]

Yup, we even had things with no spawns, but they supposedly work on that.

Use an ULACH.

[craggy hull]

You miss the point, its all about drip.

[brittle canyon]

caiman has no drip

[tough oyster]

rip

also whats that website that lets u calculate armor pen chance or something

i tried tarkov simulator but it doesnt load

[craggy hull]

ULACH>ALL

[brittle canyon]

battle buddy app

[craggy hull]

https://tarkov-ballistics.com/

[brittle canyon]

who in their right mind uses osprey with arms

[craggy hull]

Found it on a guy, with the stappler.

Arms is good tho.

[brittle canyon]

arm armor is op, you’re removing that

terrible

[craggy hull]

???

[brittle canyon]

let arm tank shots

[craggy hull]

I see

THOR enjoyer normally, I'd say the ospray has a good lifepool to tank, but you have a point.

[brittle canyon]

thor lv4?

[craggy hull]

y

[brittle canyon]

that’s like, arguably worse than press armor

[craggy hull]

Big boy PACA

Its cheap and does the job.

[brittle canyon]

it wasn’t that cheap

[tough oyster]

this wasnt the website, ive seen in a yt vid a few times but i cant find it

[brittle canyon]

it’s a barter component for hexatec I think so it’s inflated even though it’s complete shit

[craggy hull]

And I dont cry too much discarding it for dem chads stuff

[brittle canyon]

battle buddy app

[craggy hull]

its just a good one

[brittle canyon]

or database for tarkov app but that calc doesn’t have the ability to seperate non penetrating shots from penning shots

[craggy hull]

I buy it trader price or less

[brittle canyon]

what’s the trader price

[craggy hull]

56

[brittle canyon]

yikes

a uley would be better

and you know how bad that one is

[tough oyster]

ye that one

[craggy hull]

• ceramic

• no drip

[brittle canyon]

after they halved all the move penalties the armors are all homogenized in terms of movement tbh

[tough oyster]

which helmet has the best drip

[brittle canyon]

face covers

[craggy hull]

nah man I ran some heavies it was a mess

[brittle canyon]

90% of armors are lights

[craggy hull]

ULACH, ACHH

[brittle canyon]

ulach just says I have no personality

[tough oyster]

na

[craggy hull]

ULACH save lives

[brittle canyon]

saving lives have nothing to do with drip

[tough oyster]

star wars helmet + gas mask

now thats drip

just need a spacegat m4

[craggy hull]

What is drippier except a MASHKA

[craggy hull]

ULACH + gas mask better, star wars makes no sense

[tough oyster]

dont have a black one but here u go

looks like one of those helgast soldiers

[craggy hull]

nice shotgun tho, a 155 with the ultima hanguard and an x400 would be about the same price

[tough oyster]

i found it

[craggy hull]

Noice, beware of the cursed big yellow head.

[tough oyster]

im currently level 24, whats the drippest bear outfit

im liking the boreas shirt and summer field shirt pants

[craggy hull]

you guys t shirt is cool

[tough oyster]

?

[craggy hull]

Bear t shirt

[tough oyster]

O

What's the coolest looking tac rig

[craggy hull]

I'd say bank robber or an all in one

MMAC

[brittle canyon]

tactecs or cpcs etc

[stable island]

i keep getting killed in woods when i'm doing prapors convoy quest

any way of making it easier

[brittle canyon]

how are you getting killed

when and where

[stable island]

i'm getting killed by walking out of bounds and getting sniped

i dont know where the locations are and i keep walking into mines and shit

[left night]

https://mapgenie.io/tarkov/maps/woods

[left night]

^

[brittle canyon]

stick to offline raids until you at least know how to get to plane and to exfil even if it takes you kind of long

[stable island]

yeah i was using that map still happening

[brittle canyon]

also scav raids

[left night]

on the map, make it so only spawns and extracts and locations are showing

[stable island]

ok

[left night]

take your time to look around to find out where on the map you are

[stable island]

alright thanks

[gaunt silo]

SO i went into the "organize my stash" rabbit hole for the first time. As Such i was selling stuff to traders and flea market etc... I also noticed i was dragging all items from the right to the center to sell my items. So here is my dumb af question. Can i press an item that automatically go into the sell window instead of me having to drag it over?

[distant fable]

ctrl and click the item

[stable island]

are there ways of increasing trader rep without doing quests

[left night]

no

[robust robin]

You can do operational tasks like dailies/weeklies but that technically tasks so i guess no.

[stable island]

alright guess i gotta do them

[scarlet nova]

anybody in here that wants to help a noob learn other maps?

[torn copper]

can u still find iskra in 4x4 on interchange underground?

[ocean flare]

No longer guaranteed

[lost basalt]

Oi, me need help. I missed in action aka didn't reach extract before timer runs out, 3 raids in a row !! Any useful tips ?

[spiral flicker]

Tbh the maps aren't that big, hmmm so I don't think it's hard to get to extract, the only tip I can give u is to check your time a lot so you know how to manage your time in raid

[lost basalt]

i usually play at shoreline and interchange , kinda big maps where u can lost with ease, esp with exit campers every raid

[spiral flicker]

Well I am pretty sure u can run from one end of the map to the other in less than 8 mins on shoreline and like 5 on interchange

[lost basalt]

@spiral flicker it's in ideal scenario, when you don't stop to loot something and nobody will shoot at you on a way , right ? and no exit campers also ?

[spiral flicker]

Yea

[gaunt silo]

ok i'll try it tonight thanks

[spiral flicker]

Well first of all you need to learn the map so u don't get lost

There are multiple places that are easy to recognize, for example radar station, resort, main road village

[lost basalt]

@spiral flicker well, i didn't have such pleasure. at 1st two raids i met exit campers, so i had to turn back and choose anotehr extract. In a last raid, i decided to loot stashes then bots decided to challenge me ( how dare they) 😦

[stable island]

i'm trying to get better at shooting is practice mode with hard bots a good simulator

[stone tusk]

reserve, lighthouse, streets, which one should i learn and grind

[spiral flicker]

If u don't have time to go to other extract then u have to go and either fight the camper or try to painkiller and run to the extract and take cover

[spiral flicker]

Streets is full of gigachads, LH has nice loot reserve is good players, hard boss + raiders, you decide what's the priority for you

[lost basalt]

but i suck at pvp rly hard , so i don't think it's better option
