CHIT CHAT 2 TO SEE ME LOSE

[weary meteor]

Ded to KS pov

[crude loom]

epic raid

most epic raid ever

deid ot raider

killed 1 raider

😂

@mint light first thing i get u when im sober is that vudu

[frigid finch]

is that flashlight bug still a thing?

[mint light]

dont care

[formal minnow]

Do you still run into a lot of groups as solo player?

[frigid finch]

yea, literally just killed 3 out of a group of 4....died to the last one....people are still little pussy ass bitches afraid to play solo

[formal minnow]

Damn. I was hoping maybe they would matchmake a bit better on that end. Put more solo's together. Maybe you run into a group every few matches. Last time I played, group play was really rampant. Almost every match had groups of people. There was one match where I took out a group of 3, and then I got killed by another group of 4... It was too much.

[frigid finch]

yea, its the same...people like "hardcore" games then play grouped up like little fucking pansies...shit gets old

[formal minnow]

Well I'm back now after a break. Starting mid-wipe. Should be, interesting... I noticed they took out 762 ps ammo

and m855?

[brittle canyon]

game is designed for squad play

[frigid finch]

or they could do the thing that every other game in the last 10 years has figured out, queue groups together

[brittle canyon]

why would they

[frigid finch]

why wouldnt they?

[brittle canyon]

also no they’re not doing any matchmaking

[frigid finch]

yea, cause they are a shit company lol

[brittle canyon]

lmao sounds like a skill issue

the design principle isn’t fairness or competitive integrity, there’s no need to seperate queues by group size

[formal minnow]

Why not? Would it not make sense to que more solo players together, rather than against groups of 4/5 players? Killing a group of 3-5 is a feat within itself. Now say I get qued with 2 groups of 4/5. That's 90% of the slots in a match... against me....

[frigid finch]

dont bother arguing with him

people like him are dick riders who dont have a single original thought in their body, or he is one of the one that squads up to shit on soloes lol

[brittle canyon]

why not because splitting playerbase lengthens the queue time and degrades match quality unless you have a really good reason for it

[brittle canyon]

“if you don’t agree with me you’re with THEM”

[frigid finch]

lol literally every other game has done it with no issues

[brittle canyon]

lmao caveman thinking

[brittle canyon]

yeah, competitive games that are meant to be fair

[frigid finch]

worst outcome, squads take a little bit longer to queue, who gives a fuck?

[brittle canyon]

the squads?

you say that like solos are an oppressed minority

[mint light]

i think going up against groups adds a different way to play a fight and its more fun. fighting solos are usually just crabbing

killing multiple people is fun

[frigid finch]

i wouldnt mind if they did solo-3 queues and 4-5 as seperate

[formal minnow]

You don't have to split the playerbase. You're just tweaking the current matchmaking odds. I wasn't proposing only solo players vs solo players. But 1 vs 5 vs 5 is a bitch much when/if that happens.

[brittle canyon]

you are splitting the playerbase since the squad players cannot match with soloers unless they solo as well

1v5v5 smart move is just do not engage?

[mint light]

the matchmaking will never change. so this all dosent rly matter

[brittle canyon]

it’s not an arena shooter, killing is not the ultimate goal

[frigid finch]

lol smart move is just dont play the game

great advice

[brittle canyon]

lmao speaks volumes when you think fighting is all there is to the game

[frigid finch]

wtf else is there? at a certain point you finish tasks and have infinite money

[brittle canyon]

endgame being lackluster is to be expected because there is no endgame (ie escaping from tarkov for real)

so normally people just take a break after they’re done with everything

[formal minnow]

I wouldn't/dont mind running into groups every x amount of raids. But when it's almost every single raid... I'm forced to play like a rat essentially. I just think the group play was a bit much before. I can't speak to now since It's been about 8 months since I've last played.

[frigid finch]

ive thought one of two things would be better...remove insurance if you are grouped, so there is actually some risk

[brittle canyon]

I mean you are a solo, if you must rat just rat

[frigid finch]

or seperate 1-3 and 4-5

[brittle canyon]

balancing the risk implies that there’s a fairness issue which there isn’t

it’s unfair by design, working as intended

[frigid finch]

lol, everything in this game is balanced off risk vs reward...its not about fairness, its about maintaining that balance

when you group, even if you die, your group is more likely to win the engagement, which means they can hide your kit for you, and that raid was basically a scav raid for you

[brittle canyon]

and that’s a bad thing?

you squad up to reduce risk..

[frigid finch]

hence why the balance is broken

[brittle canyon]

which is, again, a non-issue

[frigid finch]

you squad up to reduce risk, so the tradeoff is if you die, you lose your kit

but you are right i guess, BSG has no idea how to balance an actual game

[brittle canyon]

with DBNO/knockout and buddy healing mechanics coming in the future the space for solos will only get smaller

[snow jewel]

thats gonna be a thing?

[frigid finch]

lol no

this game will die before then

[snow jewel]

prob

[formal minnow]

I don't even care for separating them. I get the concept of solos queuing against groups. I just think they would do better to have solos run into groups a bit less often. For a lot of the reason Lass is listing. Groups can essentially act as another form of insurance for players. Essentially whoever wins the engagement.

[frigid finch]

especially if it starts killing off the solo crowfd

[snow jewel]

dbno will give players no reason to play alone

[brittle canyon]

well it’s not like pubg where if you get shot to death you crawl around, it’s more like nonlethal explosions or traumatic bleeds making you unconscious

which if you don’t get help you just die that way

[snow jewel]

so kinda like dayz?

[brittle canyon]

but if you have a teammate he can idk stab adrenaline on you

idk dayz

[snow jewel]

if you get shot you fall down

youll get up after some time if ur not finished

[brittle canyon]

if you become unconscious you won’t be able to treat yourself

[snow jewel]

im honestly not sure how it works in dayz, thats all i got from vids lmao

[brittle canyon]

I mean having a door kicked on you or a solid hit of buckshot to the leg, or getting shot while climbing etc will make you fall over, but that’s an entirely different thing where you can just get back up or return fire while laying on the ground

[brittle canyon]

they have no intention of catering to the solos so I’d temper your expectations

[formal minnow]

I have no expectations lol. Just my two cents. I was only wondering if anything had changed in that regard, since I last played.

[brittle canyon]

never was never will be

you just need to adapt, I play 100% solo and I’m having fun

[formal minnow]

Well group play could just slow down on it's own. That's more of what I was asking specifically.

[brittle canyon]

also no

[frigid finch]

lol yea that would make too much sense

and your argument about fairness falls apart when you realize they nerf guns lol, so clearly the care about some level of it

[brittle canyon]

gun meta is a different thing?

[frigid finch]

why should gun meta be fair?

[brittle canyon]

it’s not really tuned to be fair

[frigid finch]

yea it is lol

its tuned to take things that are unfair

[brittle canyon]

idk trader 1s not even having 762 ps doesn’t seem very fair

[frigid finch]

and bring them in line with other things

that seems perfectly fair, why should you get one of the most effective ammunitions that you use for 40 levels at level 1?

[brittle canyon]

only recent nerfs were to the ump and p90

why aren’t they nerfing mutant or rd?

[frigid finch]

cause they arent that good? they are so marginally better then the akm its barely worth the extra cost

[brittle canyon]

you say that like they aren’t dominating the meta

[frigid finch]

lol its because people are fucking meta slaves

if something is .1% better then everything else, it will dominate the meta

[brittle canyon]

and it’s their fault not the game’s fault?

[frigid finch]

even if it makes no actual difference in their ability to kill anything

there is no way to balance a game perfectly

but, the problem is the "meta" shit, only really applies to like the top .1% of players skill wise, for most players, it will not make any difference

[snow jewel]

i mean theres a meta in every game

people wanna use the best stuff lmao

[crude loom]

Lmfao

Just woke up

Gonna barter labs keycards

[crude loom]

Wtf this is one hour ago

[snow jewel]

i suck

if only he was 80m, i killed shturman before i killed a scav 😭

[thick cape]

Damnnnn

nice tho

[frigid finch]

im so sick of dying to cheaters

it is getting so fucking old

[snow jewel]

what servers are you on?

i havent ran into a cheater in ages

[frigid finch]

west and central

[snow jewel]

strange

im west too haha

[frigid finch]

mostly just labs

means i cant play that map, which fucking sucks

[mint light]

dont play west

[bold kernel]

any weapon suggetsion

bcs im boredi got money and idk what to play

for resort

[frigid finch]

VSS is always what i play when im bored

[bold kernel]

i mean yes but the mags

50kfor one

[frigid finch]

lol you said you had money

[bold kernel]

yea i have money i have like 22m

but hell naw im not gona waste

[frigid finch]

so why the fuck do you care about 50k lol

[bold kernel]

bcs if im gona play with a gun that the mags cost more that the gun itself

im just gona lose money

[frigid finch]

lol compared to a gun that costs 6x as much and the total value is the same?

like vss + 5 mags is 300k...most meta guns are at least that lol

[bold kernel]

bruh what

i pay 100k for 2 mags

[frigid finch]

lol 250k + like 50k for the vss?

[bold kernel]

ok

and what grip should i use for it

[frigid finch]

lol anything, it hardly matters

[bold kernel]

max 49

daum that is kinda mid

il just stick

to m4

[frigid finch]

lol and you are bitching about price, meta m4 is like 400k minimum

and the ammo can basically two tap thorax against every armor in the game

[bold kernel]

Anyone else on their first wipe that up for teaming? I'm pretty late to wipe and only level 2.

[wet nimbus]

Does anybody know why I couldn’t open the care package It just dropped down

[frigid finch]

sometimes i gotta back away and move back to it or look at all 4 sides

[wet nimbus]

Dang

[torn copper]

which place has the highest chance of iskra spawn?

[woeful spruce]

Black weapon boxes on interchange

[late fiber]

would gzhel-k armor be better then the trooper tfo armor?

[frigid finch]

gzhel armor blocks like 1-2 bullets before its dead, so its pretty terrible

[late fiber]

oh jeez

[woeful spruce]

Ghzel is higher class so can protect you from more types of bullets but has low efective durability so after a couole of hits its useless, trooper is class 4 but can tank much more

Both can save your life in difrent situations and its hard to say if one is better

[frigid finch]

is the flashlight bug still a thing

[late fiber]

should i sell it?

[woeful spruce]

I dont think so

[sinful monolith]

never sell armor

let it rot

[late fiber]

alright thanks guys

[frigid finch]

i should say its terrible when you have easily accessible better options

if you dont, its perfectly good armor to use

[woeful spruce]

Also dont insure the ghzel, it doesnt repair well so its not worth to reuse

[mint light]

yes

[gilded glen]

does binaural audio still cause performance issues?

[mint light]

not for me

should be fine now i think

[reef spoke]

treating the vss like an SMG is expensive. I run it as a DMR and more than fine.

2 20's and a 10 for emergencies, BP, if I don't kill the dude with the first three rounds of any of the mags then I need to rethink my approach to a situation.

[bold kernel]

Imma be honest

But i dont have the patience for that

I run in their head, spray - hope i hit, if i dont i run back and reload - if i do kill them i yell in voip

What do you yell?

[gaunt silo]

LEEERrroOOOOYYYY JEEEENNNKKKKIIINNNNS

[bold kernel]

Yeah, I could imagine that.

[frigid finch]

trim+sj6 has saved my raid so many times lol

[gaunt silo]

get in the weight room bro

D.A.R.E. to do drugs

[frigid finch]

lol i have...im level 46 and have 38 str and 23 endurance

gonna take forever to max str out

[gaunt silo]

why you flexing in beginners chat 😐

[frigid finch]

hows that flexing? most people who are my level have elite str alreadyh

[gaunt silo]

just shooting the shit bro. Nothing personal

🥺

[frigid finch]

well i took it super personally

so fuck you

im gonna go cry in the shower now

[gaunt silo]

🤣

[frigid finch]

and its all your fault

[gaunt silo]

you do you, no shame crying in shower

[frigid finch]

i am getting so many errors in my stash these last couple days...wtf is going on

[reef spoke]

valid and respected.

[gaunt silo]

takes a long time to return to stash for me

[frigid finch]

yea, same...ive had so many presets error out too

[gaunt silo]

first raid of the day after a fresh restart of pc nothing running but eft and i can't return to stash until like 5 mins passed

[summer cedar]

what's the best ammo to craft in the workbench? either for profit or to run

[gaunt silo]

that depends on your level honestly and i don't know if people craft ammo really for profit

personally i craft m61s for my own use

[frigid finch]

depends on what you run....BP/SNB/M61

[summer cedar]

i'm lv 39, and i mainly say that because usually i turn off the generator when i go to uni/sleep, but people say it's best to keep the generator running 24/7 to get the most out of the bitcoin farm and the longer crafts

[gaunt silo]

i leave mine on for my btc farm

[summer cedar]

considering i have a maxed lv2 bitcoin farm, i'm wondering what exactly i should be crafting in order to make the night worthwhile

[gaunt silo]

i also need the expedition cans to craft mag cases for profit

i run the m61 craft over night

[summer cedar]

or is the bitcoin itself without any crafts worth it?

cuz for me, i use metal fuel tanks which give me about 22 hours of fuel for 166k

[gaunt silo]

how many gpu's you got in it?

[summer cedar]

and my bitcoin farm also happens to pump out one every 21ish hours

[gaunt silo]

so you got about 8 gpus in it

[summer cedar]

no, it's somewhere around 16-17 i have in there

[gaunt silo]

???

[summer cedar]

hang on, let me take a screenshot

[gaunt silo]

i'll have to go back and check mine. i have 9 in mine and it's around 24 hours or at least i thought it was

[north bear]

It's like 24-25 with 10 in it

[gaunt silo]

gpus are more expensive than the dang btc

[summer cedar]

yeah i got 16 gpus in there

[gaunt silo]

i have to sell 1 and a mag case to afford a gpu

[summer cedar]

according to the wiki, it takes a day and 25 minutes per coin

so yeah, should i just leave the generator on for no greater purpose beyond bitcoin

[gaunt silo]

yea

run solar if you just want to not give a crap about crafting cases

[summer cedar]

i need to find the far-forward thingy first lol

[gaunt silo]

which i'm thinking to do right now since gpu so expensive

you gotta go to labs for that

and gl on that bro lol

[summer cedar]

how fun, i was actually planning on trying out labs since i got therapist 4

[frigid finch]

lol its just cheaters most of the time

[gaunt silo]

you find one, run fast af

[summer cedar]

anyways yeah, i'll craft cases in lav

[frigid finch]

if you are going there for an item, i honestly just recommend going in with a rig and pistol, hit spawns, and gtfo

[summer cedar]

wait can you craft m995 in workbench?

[gaunt silo]

yea

[frigid finch]

m995 is crap

dont use it

[gaunt silo]

i use it

[summer cedar]

if so i'll make that since i run 5.56 a lot

wait why's it bad

[frigid finch]

nah, 855a1 is way better

[gaunt silo]

generally think 855a1 is better

[summer cedar]

isn't it the top tier in 5.56

[gaunt silo]

but995 do work

[frigid finch]

basically, less damage for almost no advantages

[gaunt silo]

it's prefrence

[frigid finch]

and you can buy 855a1

[gaunt silo]

if you gonna be doing a lot of long range sniping thing with a 5.56 go with 855a1

if you gonna be mag dumping go with 995

but 855a1 is purchasable and basically do the same thing as a 995

[frigid finch]

nah mag dumping definitely go with 855a1

[reef spoke]

Airwingmarine has a pretty good video on that.

[gaunt silo]

i think it's really subjective. 995's supposively come out faster, has higher pen value and the flesh damage is a difference of a 7

[frigid finch]

it comes down to how rarely you run into tier 6 armor...98% of my engagements are against people with lower, so the benefit of it is basically never felt

[glad prawn]

idk where to ask this but is this an okay not break the bank m4

[gaunt silo]

where you gonna run this m4 and what ammo you planning to run with it

[gaunt silo]

i found some slicks last night

not some...... 1 in a stash

[glad prawn]

only got 56a1 and it'll be used on every map I play. cant use scopes in this damn game till Iget a new cpu

[snow jewel]

they fixed scopes

work quite well now

[glad prawn]

its an fps issue

[snow jewel]

that's what im saying, they don't drop fps while aimed in

[frigid finch]

i would literally sacrifice so many innocent children to get a fir ledx

scores....scores of them

with no remorse

[fringe jay]

found one in a duffle lol

[frigid finch]

dude ive tried soooo hard

level 46....not a single one

[fringe jay]

im 39 and found 2 on customs xDD

[frigid finch]

lol ive tried woods, customs, resort....cant get fucking anything

it took me till 45 to get a single gpu on lighthouse lol

[fringe jay]

wow

[frigid finch]

ive had horrid luck this raid

wipe*

[brittle canyon]

no

[glad prawn]

It is tho qq

[brittle canyon]

just start with the lvoa m4

[frigid finch]

when leveling snipers do rogues give more skill then scavs? or should i be going for quantity

[brittle canyon]

you probably shave off a good 50k

[brittle canyon]

just hits

leg scavs

[frigid finch]

oh so better to not be headshotting

that makes soooo much sense lol

[ivory bough]

Can I killed raiders as a scav?

just not bosses / guards right?

[brittle canyon]

yea

[gaunt silo]

have 2 sitting in stash

[mint light]

i find them on wood a lot

[frigid finch]

is there anything worth bartering with bitcoins for?

or is it just better to sell them

[reef monolith]

Thicc weapons at mechanic l4

[brittle canyon]

thicc wep?

[frigid finch]

lol ive done black labs, resort, customs crack/strong woods usec...literally everywhere

how do i fix that

like wtf is preload data

[zinc canopy]

#community-support

[frosty musk]

You could try verifying files

[dapper epoch]

For quests that require you to be in a certain area to kill scavs, do you have to be in that area, or do the scavs have to be in that area? Or is it both?

[sinful monolith]

Scav need to be there

for example barracks

[tepid mulch]

what mission do i do to buy flechette from jaeger

[dapper epoch]

So I can be outside of the area and shoot scavs within?

[kindred grotto]

[royal wind]

thank you!

[kindred grotto]

[brittle canyon]

tagilla mask

[sinful monolith]

Yes

[celest viper]

Do rogues shoot the goons?

[scarlet raven]

no

I believe since the goons are rogue USECs, and so are the rogues.. Plus I think because the goons spawn rate is highest on lighthouse, they're kinda supposed to be the lighthouse bosses even though they go to every map

[frosty musk]

Lighthouse has zryachiy now

I've never seen boss on boss combat though

Can AI attack each other

[celest viper]

I'm confused cause only one of the goons showed up at the front of camp, and i killed him

The rest no where to be found, and I heard a bunch of shots in the back of treatment

[frosty musk]

Probably agroed and got separated from the rest

[celest viper]

Must be another player ig

[frosty musk]

Or got killed by another player

[bold kernel]

i need help with raids please help any map eu servers

[frigid finch]

[frigid finch]

? why lol

2 more minutes lol

[bold kernel]

what is this intel bruh 💀

[brittle canyon]

average intel

[frigid finch]

yea seems about right lol

[bold kernel]

i mean the as val cool

[brittle canyon]

it’s just vss with a supreme logo

[snow jewel]

val aint bad

[kindred grotto]

worth

[snow jewel]

like 150k

[bold kernel]

yea

but the rest

[snow jewel]

max behavior

[bold kernel]

hell naw

[brittle canyon]

this man copped the supreme brick

from a scalper

[kindred grotto]

[snow jewel]

bros scalping bricks

tough

[frigid finch]

I MADE IT!

[brittle canyon]

I hear that he’s bricked up

you made what

[kindred grotto]

[frigid finch]

out with my two LEDXs lol

[brittle canyon]

you made ledxes?

[frigid finch]

literally first one i ever got....and got two of them on the same run lol

[bold kernel]

i got a ledx and i did a run trough

today

i was so pissed

[frigid finch]

lol i was literally sitting there at extract pulling out a calculator to make sure 35-7 was indeed 28 lol

[bold kernel]

xd

i just killed a scav

rushed extract

[frigid finch]

then i waited another 30 seconds after that cause this games servers fucking sucked

[brittle canyon]

need to touch the body

[bold kernel]

yea i just learned that

[snow jewel]

i always wait till 8 mins

just in case

[frigid finch]

took me till level 47 to get my first ledx lol

[frail comet]

Could be a lot worse

[zinc canopy]

you should complete some sleep

[bold kernel]

o em gee

[frigid finch]

lol why in the fuck are scavs crab walking around dorms making no sound at all

[snow jewel]

crabbing ai

[median niche]

do scavs spawn periodically? should I just wait at a known scav-spot if I need scav kills or if none are there then dip?

e.g. interchange power station

[brittle canyon]

they don’t spawn if players are nearby

keep rotating different spawns

[median niche]

so they can spawn later then

[foggy fossil]

hi

[snow jewel]

sup

[river rampart]

verify integrity of game files in the launcher

[acoustic umbra]

Does the Holosun LS321 Tactical device IR light work? I can't seem to turn on the IR light

[fast needle]

should i sell or keep my gpu

[snow jewel]

ir = infrared

like the other guy said, you need nvgs

[gilded glen]

Aw man, I just found an amazing guy, he helped me and all that but ended killing me because I ran in dorms

that was so sad man

[snow jewel]

unlucky

[daring pewter]

looking for someone to help me with my quests, NAE mic needed 14+

[shy glade]

YO

[slate quiver]

anyone have this key? need it for the colleagues part 2 quest..

[kindred grotto]

just buy it

[storm tree]

it is cheap

[slate quiver]

its 200k

[storm tree]

yes

[slate quiver]

just worth asking first

i only got like 700k

and dont play shoreline

[storm tree]

Other 500k put into kit

ez

[slate quiver]

ur ez

[storm tree]

Your crazy

[fervent burrow]

cheap m4/ak build that is low recoil?

[kindred grotto]

no cheap m4 build

[fervent burrow]

true lmao

[rocky ocean]

m4 / adar conversion is decent but not low recoil

[timber ridge]

Just use an ak

With buttpad

With some random muzzle brake

[frosty musk]

Low recoil m4 is expensive especially without traders

[timber ridge]

Even with traders it's still like 350k

[quartz fiber]

that was m\e

[copper geyser]

how much does a weapon need to be repaired in order to sell it to a trader

[tidal lagoon]

60%

[copper geyser]

ty

[lunar kite]

hey everyone new to the game , if anyone wants to learn together send me a dm!

[rocky ocean]

is it 200xp needed to not get a run through or was it 400xp?

[frail comet]

400

Afaik

[rocky ocean]

1 scav kill or 2 ?

1 scav kill 200 xp headshot 220

just wanted to know how many kills I need instead of waiting 7 mins for "the guide" task

[rocky ocean]

👍

[graceful ocean]

ive been trying to get a handle on how far away people can hear you. was just creeping around reserve pawn buildings and another scav ran up like "why have you been creeping around". im like "you heard me the whole time? xD"

[reef bane]

anybody know why I'm not gaining exp with my scav runs? the past 2-3 I've done haven't rewarded me with any

[daring pewter]

looking for someone to help me with my quests, NAE mic needed 14+

[frail comet]

if you mean your pmc xp it’s because scav xp doesn’t go to pmc

[reef bane]

huh

[frail comet]

You can’t level up your pmc by scavving

[reef bane]

really?

[frail comet]

Yes

only by playing pmc

but you can level up your scav by scavving but that’s literally pointless

[reef bane]

because since level 10, I've mainly been scaving instead of going pmc, and I've seen my level go up. right now I'm at level 14 without running pmc since lvl 10

[fossil crater]

have you been handing in quest items that you gather in your scav runs?

[reef bane]

I've done like... 8 turn in quests in total between lvl 10 and 14

haven't been progressing in main story quests

daily and main quests like eliminations, extraction, etc. I've been slacking

so idk

[fossil crater]

youve probably done some item hand in quests yeah

[reef bane]

strange

[fossil crater]

not strage at all lmao

you collected items on your scav, handed those in for quests and gotten XP

[reef bane]

I'm new so I thought scaving would also give exp to your character level

thanks

[fossil crater]

no scavs are just a roguelike simulator

it has its own xp you can check in raid

[daring pewter]

looking for someone to help me with my quests, NAE mic needed 14+

[reef bane]

yeah bc I can't do pmc, cause I stuffed so much shet in my character and my stash

[fossil crater]

start selling or start using

[reef bane]

ik

[fossil crater]

no point in hoarding

[reef bane]

I will

[fossil crater]

if youve got any friends that are more experienced you could ask them to help you with which items to keep

and which to sell

[reef bane]

well... I don't got any, I went in completely blind

thanks

[fossil crater]

dont think id have the patience to look through that lmao

[reef bane]

welp, time to start mass deforest my stash

[fossil crater]

also some items in there are rarer than others, no point in stockpiling kappa items for example

let me rephrase

[daring pewter]

looking for someone to help me with my quests, NAE mic needed 14+

[fossil crater]

some items arent needed in the near future

[reef bane]

I think I know what you mean

[reef bane]

yeah

[fossil crater]

i would keep an rsass though, for later gunsmith

[reef bane]

I'm on part 5 rn

[fossil crater]

which ones 5 again?

[reef bane]

akm

[fossil crater]

rsass used to be 6 last wipe, i think they moved it

if you find anything that looks rare or is expensive/unsellable on the flee, keep it

[reef bane]

yeah, I found a marked key for streets from 3 story dorms

as a scav

in the last 5 mins

[fossil crater]

hell yeah

if you dont have access to the flee start lookin up prices on google

[daring pewter]

looking for someone to help me with my quests, NAE mic needed 14+

[reef bane]

yeah I'm 1 level away

[daring pewter]

theres a website for tarkov flee

https://tarkov-market.com/

[fossil crater]

thats what i meant

[reef bane]

tarkov market lmao

just found that

[fossil crater]

damn 3 mil

[reef bane]

yeah

[fossil crater]

up to you to decide if you wanna sell it or not

[frail comet]

What u wanna sell

[fossil crater]

it is needed for a quest way later down the line

[frail comet]

Def sell the marked key

It’s a dead end quest

[daring pewter]

looking for someone to help me with my quests, NAE mic needed 14+

[reef bane]

I'll see

[frail comet]

• you can find it with the door open or just duo somebody who has the key not worth keeping

[fossil crater]

id say if its free keep it, 3 mil is easy to make if you hoard shit as a scav and sell

or sell it for a headstart since broadcast 4 is far away from you rn

[frail comet]

bad idea up to u tho

[reef bane]

man I'm new, but that shet expensive thou

[fossil crater]

naw

its only expensive cause its a marked room key/quest key

marked loot is mid

idk about the streets marked loot tho so i might be lyin

[reef bane]

ok

[frail comet]

Streets one is better

Dorms you prob won’t make profit unless you somehow find injector case

not worth keeping imo it’s a dead end quest anyways

[fossil crater]

only kept my dorms key in case someone needs help with the cult 2

[frail comet]

Better off camping the door or playing with somebody who has the key

[fossil crater]

might as well not worry about it yeah

too early anyway

[daring pewter]

looking for someone to help me with my quests, NAE mic needed 14+

[reef bane]

alr

[fossil crater]

if you aint got lots of things in your stash i can tell you what to sell if you want

i do gotta sleep at some point though its really late

[reef bane]

eh It's fine, I'm sure I'll figure it out myself

def not gonna accidentally sell a red keycard

[fossil crater]

you sure?

[reef bane]

ye I'm sure

[fossil crater]

i got 30 mins if you want me to go through

yessir

[reef bane]

na na its fine

I might be new but I'm not 0 iq

[fossil crater]

its not about 0iq, its about items that seem to be useless

or that are hard to get for later gunsmiths

or just bad ammo that youre holding onto

Ty

[patent lily]

what are some good 7.62x39 guns instead of the mutant, dont have that unlocked yet

[brittle canyon]

before lv30 ak103

after lv30 akmn

run mutant or rd whenever you find one

[sinful monolith]

i say ak74 then ak 101 or 103

[patent lily]

im lvl 22 atm

[sinful monolith]

rn meta is ak 101 i guess

[brittle canyon]

74 isn’t 762

101 is 545

[patent lily]

i cant seem to get the ak 103 under 75 recoil

[sinful monolith]

im not meaning the 7.62

i say use 5.45

[patent lily]

thats what i was using but hella people keep telling me 545 is absolute ass

[sinful monolith]

nah man

i wiped dorms with

bp and ak 74

[patent lily]

rn my main gun when im going big is a fully kitted ak-74n with BP

[sinful monolith]

yea its good

with true ammo

ak 74 will dominate

[brittle canyon]

you can get high pen very early for relatively cheap

but it’s lacking in flesh damage

it’s the pen round for timmies

[sinful monolith]

try to find bp or bs in raid

those ammo is good in close and medium

[patent lily]

i have hella BP you can buy that for 545 and i have a bunch of BT and BS

[sinful monolith]

use it then

you dont need to play 7.62 or 5.56

[patent lily]

i have a few times, died with it damn near instantly tho, im not good at taking fights confidently just yet

[patent lily]

gotta work on my decision making and aiming and spraying and honestly everything lmfao

[sinful monolith]

if you want to learn pvp i say go as a sniper

[brittle canyon]

and at mechanic 3 after you unlock the 308 adaptor you run this

[sinful monolith]

when you confident go with auto

confident is the key

[brittle canyon]

running sniper makes you good at sniping

[snow jewel]

whats the app?

[brittle canyon]

doesn’t rly help

[sinful monolith]

why is that bud

[snow jewel]

cap

[brittle canyon]

database for tarkov

[snow jewel]

at least bring a secondary

[patent lily]

i feel like running sniper would just make me good at avoiding people and killing them from far out

[brittle canyon]

because you are running sniper

[snow jewel]

ty

[sinful monolith]

? This guy need confident first

killing understanding the basics

[snow jewel]

he needs to learn up close pvp first

[patent lily]

i have confidence its just the game sense and decision making are my 2 biggest issues

[brittle canyon]

sniping doesn’t grow confidence

[sinful monolith]

after confident he can go labs too

it does for me

so its change

to person

[patent lily]

to get a bunch of fast paced PVP ive been running factory

slowly improving over time

[merry swift]

101 is 556

[past bear]

Should I sell these slim diary, diary, ssd drive ?

[snow jewel]

yea, not much of a reason to keep

Okay thanks

[bold kernel]

looking to learn how to play better woods and costoms please hyelp i also have tasks i need help with eu servers

[median niche]

hello, any tips on where to find fuel conditioner?

[elfin elm]

oli

on the shelves specifically

[bold kernel]

can anyone help with the prapor quest where u have to find his convoy and the usec base

[elfin elm]

having trouble finding it, or living?

[bold kernel]

both

[bold kernel]

i die befor finding ir

[elfin elm]

I assume you've looked at a map already

[bold kernel]

ya but i need someone to keep me safe

and help me figure out where i spwan

[elfin elm]

could you find it without a map open on another window

[bold kernel]

no

maby]

[elfin elm]

well I can't play tonight

so my suggestion would be to do offline practices to learn spawns and landmarks better

do a 180 after spawning, and what's behind you is a big hint to what part of the map you're at

[snow jewel]

that kind of mentality is gonna get you killed

[elfin elm]

also this

[bold kernel]

i cant do offline im standerd edition player

[elfin elm]

yes you can

[snow jewel]

you can do offline by yourself

just not with friends

[elfin elm]

you just can't do co-op offline

[bold kernel]

ooooo

ok

[elfin elm]

yep

[bold kernel]

in offline mode do i keep loot?

[elfin elm]

stress free map learning practice

[elfin elm]

no

[bold kernel]

ok

[elfin elm]

only thing you lose or keep from an offline is knowledge

[bold kernel]

ok

[elfin elm]

it's highly recommended for testing guns, practicing fights, and learning maps

huge learning tool

[bold kernel]

and also i do kinda need somone to keep me safe as im not good at pvp my kd is 0.2

[snow jewel]

being new means your kd will be new, its the same in every game

[elfin elm]

also

kd means nothing

[snow jewel]

rely on your team, but dont rely too much

[elfin elm]

a big portion of the most successful players are solo players

[snow jewel]

real

[elfin elm]

and I'll add a side note

you may soemtimes survive more, or have a lil more fun in a group

but you'll learn a heck of a lot more solo

through experiencce

[snow jewel]

solo is just superior in almost every way

groups are for messing around

[elfin elm]

unless you know how to milsim correctly

a team of 5 that knows how to clear coms, and clear rooms

is super scary

[snow jewel]

but a team of 5 timmies is usually easier to kill than 1

they get too cocky, or line up in a door lmao

[elfin elm]

or stand around like idiots cus they don't know how to clear their coms

[snow jewel]

^

seeing new people clear rogues is so silly

just found a dead 3 man in the middle of the compound

[dry coyote]

should i go shturman hunting like this?

[snow jewel]

just bring a better armor

and take a salewa, not an afak + grizzly

[dry coyote]

why not the mosin?

[snow jewel]

you'll see when 4 guards rush you lmao

[elfin elm]

mosin sucks, but has good bullets

you only want to boss hunt with a bolty if you know you have a good angle

outside of their aggro range

boss guards and bosses have unreal aim and reaction time

[snow jewel]

nah its really not that bad

shturman is easier than his guards

[elfin elm]

you're not wrong

but for a first time

[snow jewel]

killed him with a naked m700 yesterday

[elfin elm]

I'd want to use something more forgiving

[dry coyote]

the DVL in my stash in question:

[snow jewel]

yea you're right

[snow jewel]

no, dmr or ak

[elfin elm]

hard to get the ammo for, and also kinda unforgiving

as they said

dmr, or assault rifle of choice

[snow jewel]

or ya know

rfb

doesnt hurt to lose

[elfin elm]

sks, similar idea

not as good though

[dry coyote]

Is a Gen4 body armor ok?

[elfin elm]

4 is the starting point fo okay armor

[dry coyote]

its a tier 5 armor

[snow jewel]

yea i like it

[elfin elm]

oh, scuse me

yeah that should be fine

[snow jewel]

i like the rfb for the ammo

[dry coyote]

best dmrs?

[snow jewel]

speaking of, what ammo do you have @dry coyote

[dry coyote]

for what

[elfin elm]

at lvl 21 you're probably stuck with the rfb or sks

[dry coyote]

i got a SR 25

[elfin elm]

better than an rfb

but do you have any good ammo?

[dry coyote]

FMJ

[snow jewel]

yeaaa

[dry coyote]

i had M80 but i wasted all of it

[snow jewel]

id stick to rfb

[elfin elm]

stick with sks

or rfb yeah

[elfin elm]

m80 is the starting good ammo for them

[snow jewel]

this is kinda my budget dmr

[elfin elm]

anything worse is acceptable, or bad

[elfin elm]

I'd stick with sks or rfb with the best pen you can use from trader atm

depending on preference and budget

[snow jewel]

^

fmj isnt horrible

but its certainly not good

[elfin elm]

let me consult the charts

[snow jewel]

its pretty decent after the buff iirc

[elfin elm]

bcp fmj is the best you can get your hands on atm

yeah

for 7.62x51 anyways

[dry coyote]

?

[elfin elm]

can you manage a suppressor?

it's a bit of an ask for that caliber

7.62x51 are the most expensive and hard to get suppressors

[dry coyote]

best suppressor for the RFB?

[elfin elm]

cheapest you can get

[snow jewel]

is that a vudu or tac30?

[elfin elm]

tac30

[dry coyote]

tac30

[elfin elm]

I know my weapon parts a lil too well

[snow jewel]

they look too similar 😅

[elfin elm]

not to me

[snow jewel]

ah yea, side by side i can tell

[dry coyote]

?

[elfin elm]

perfectly acceptable, but

you gonna night farm?

[dry coyote]

ye

[elfin elm]

tac30 is ass under nvg

the reticle is SUPER bright

[snow jewel]

cus of the red circle

[dry coyote]

best sight for night farm then?

[snow jewel]

also bring extra mags, if you think you have enough, bring 1 more

[elfin elm]

lpvo or fixed zoom?

[dry coyote]

lpvo?

[median heart]

tac30 has the white and the gold dot

[elfin elm]

low power variable optic

sorry, fancy talk for toggle zoom

[elfin elm]

do you want to have a scope with zoom toggle?

or just a fixed zoom?

[snow jewel]

razor is fine from my experience, probably out of your price range tho

[elfin elm]

you have to pay for the feature

[snow jewel]

you want something that doesnt glow

[snow jewel]

yep, i see it now haha

[dry coyote]

idk

[elfin elm]

for the price, and on a dmr

I'd say a valday is good

[snow jewel]

valday is getting up there

you dont need a mount for it either

[elfin elm]

non-illuminated 1-6 variable assault scope

[snow jewel]

valaday feels like it has less zoom compared to a razor, that just me?

[elfin elm]

it's not just you, but they're the same zoom

[dry coyote]

hm?

[elfin elm]

it seems like more cus the razor has a bigger window

[dry coyote]

lemme try it in the hideout

[snow jewel]

looks dope

[elfin elm]

looking good I think

[snow jewel]

ah haha, couldn't wrap my head around it for a while

[elfin elm]

go to your firing range, screen cap the valday, then screen cap the razor

[dry coyote]

how do i get lower recoil on the rfb?

[elfin elm]

and you'll notice the scope of the razor takes up more of the screen

[brittle canyon]

muzzle

[elfin elm]

that's the fun part

[brittle canyon]

grip

[elfin elm]

you don't

[dry coyote]

fuck

[elfin elm]

it's a dmr

[brittle canyon]

recoil rfb is kac qdc with rk2

but why though

[elfin elm]

exactly

[dry coyote]

meh imma farm rogues on shoreline as a scav

[elfin elm]

it's a budget dmr

you don't NEED recoil

[dry coyote]

they have good gear tbh

[elfin elm]

DMRs don't really need recoil

it's pretty much an ergo build

often times anyways

[snow jewel]

its semi

[elfin elm]

cus it's all about tap fire

[snow jewel]

so recoil doesnt matter

[elfin elm]

but you wanna battle rifle

then you build recoil

[dry coyote]

rogues have some good gear tbh

[snow jewel]

rogues?

[dry coyote]

yeah

[snow jewel]

yea their gear is alright

[dry coyote]

im goin as a scav on lighthouse rn

[elfin elm]

it's kinda okay, to good range

not juiced, but pretty usable

[dry coyote]

hexgrid:

[elfin elm]

or at the very least a good start to a kit/build

[bold kernel]

Hexgrid?

[snow jewel]

rarely see it

[elfin elm]

which one

[bold kernel]

L you then

[snow jewel]

fax

[dry coyote]

oh also you know the armor i have rn on my pmc?

[bold kernel]

Isn’t there only one hexgrid

[snow jewel]

only got a hex twice

[snow jewel]

yea?

[dry coyote]

i got it yesterday from a rogue

[snow jewel]

W

[bold kernel]

I’ve found one 5 times in the big tower to the left of the bridge - on the rogue there

He gives a lot of nice loot

[snow jewel]

W for u then

[elfin elm]

there's a hexgrid, and a hexatac, my bad

[dry coyote]

also i lag alot when i spawn on lighthouse

[elfin elm]

not unheard of

[bold kernel]

Yes. Hexgrid

[snow jewel]

its a nice armor, rogues that spawn on the building closest to grotto have it most often

[dry coyote]

?

[elfin elm]

I usually find lvl 4s and 5s on rogues

so at the very least yuou're getting decent

[snow jewel]

its the only armor they wear :P

hex is the best armor they can have

[elfin elm]

lighthouse and streets are the newest two maps

so they have the bumpiest performance

[snow jewel]

actually wait

[dry coyote]

I'm starting to like shoreline

[elfin elm]

it's a good map

[bold kernel]

Resort or outside?

[snow jewel]

thor, strandhogg, hexgrid, gen4, 2 armors with arm protection

[elfin elm]

long as you know where to go

[dry coyote]

Outside

[snow jewel]

is that it?

[bold kernel]

😭

[dry coyote]

Yeah

Since the most of peacekeeper's tasks are on shoreline

[snow jewel]

holup

rogues have slicks??

[dry coyote]

Idk

[snow jewel]

ive never seen one

[elfin elm]

yep

I've seen it

once

[dry coyote]

i died

[elfin elm]

troopers are pretty common though

so that's nice

[snow jewel]

i see troopers quite often too

never in my life have i seen a slick

[snow jewel]

how'd u die?

[dry coyote]

rogues

i killed a rogue on a minigun

[snow jewel]

ran too close?

[dry coyote]

tried to get his loot

but bitches shot me

[snow jewel]

ah damn

[dry coyote]

i was a scav tho

[snow jewel]

rogue ai is silly haha

[dry coyote]

how can i even recognize how a rogue is??

[snow jewel]

you can either sit next to a rogue for 5 mins and he doesnt care

or you look at him and he lights u up

[snow jewel]

voicelines, kit, he flips u off

[dry coyote]

yeah

i saw a guy with a USEC hat

couldnt recognize if he was a scav or not

then he spoke english

[snow jewel]

rogues also tend to be more stationary, at least from my experience

scavs move around a lot

[dry coyote]

what's scav war??

[elfin elm]

scavs with aggro each other

in addition to you

super hectic

kinda fun

[dry coyote]

what about tagged and cursed

[elfin elm]
