[wooden glade]

I heard 2 airdrops coming in last streets raid

[slim maple]

exactly

multi airdrops

weapons cases with weapons in them (weapons cases not included)

[wooden glade]

are these drops why attachments market is in the dumps rn

[slim maple]

yes

[torn copper]

saw its S tier now

better than mutant

[snow jewel]

m4 is like

best gun in the game lel

[snow jewel]

completely different bullet

[orchid isle]

ano way someonemade a tier list for GUNS

[torn copper]

black a1 still best bullet for 556?

[orchid isle]

depends

[torn copper]

imagine

[snow jewel]

no

ssa ap

995

55a1

56a1 in decending order

[torn copper]

👍

[orchid isle]

mono is a noob dont listen to him

the m4 isnt even bad

[snow jewel]

unbuild that

[digital fulcrum]

Tan m4 enjoyer

[orchid isle]

I opened a weapon crate and got the parts

[snow jewel]

finally got that lil bitch

only took 10 raids to find him

[zinc canopy]

You should go get some sleep

[snow jewel]

nuh uh

time to make reshala my lil bish

[zinc canopy]

That’s not very hard tbh.
You should kill him with his own golden tt

[snow jewel]

ik it aint

he just never spawns

i think i killed all the bosses first try, other than goons

[storm tree]

u play costums, no?

why havent u done it

[snow jewel]

he never spawns!!

i ran so many raids and this is the first time

[orchid isle]

crutch man

[snow jewel]

🤫

[dense wren]

So rather embarrassingly it’s taken me ~100hrs to reach level 15 as a new player (including menu time). How long does it usually take for skilled players to reach lvl15 early wipe and how long should I expect

[storm tree]

3 days

idk I said that randomly

not long

[dense wren]

3 days of how many hours a day though?

Is the reason it’s taken me so long because I’m new and it’s late wipe would you say?

[storm tree]

Probably

seen people take longer

[dense wren]

It felt like such a grind from 10-15

[storm tree]

It is at the start

[dense wren]

Only getting a few thousand at most a raid

Surely quests will be worse though right

[storm tree]

no

quests aare the way

[fleet ferry]

If you want the most xp in a raid you have to get headshot kills on scavs/ pmcs(almost doubles the xp for kills), even if you see an item you don’t want to take/ don’t have room pick it up then drop it you get xp just by picking something up and lastly survive/ stay long in a raid just surviving gives a multiplier to the xp u gained.also doing quests are pretty good for xp

[dense wren]

👍 thanks

[zenith trellis]

can some1 help me make a cheap starter gun ?

proz ak or something pls

[slim maple]

That should probably work

[bold kernel]

level?

[frozen niche]

anyone have a spare PB key i can buy for bad rep?

[woven fiber]

show stats

[bold kernel]

[slim maple]

Not mine IronGear's apparently 130k

[woven fiber]

eh not that bad

[bold kernel]

just run this

[woven fiber]

handguard uglier

[bold kernel]

77k total minus the cost of the gun

[woven fiber]

+its a 103 lol

[bold kernel]

they want a cheap starter gun

[woven fiber]

jmac brake isnt a starter attachment

[bold kernel]

ratio 💯

true

budget + low recoil don't go too hand in hand when building 762 weapons

[teal galleon]

what do i do to become not afraid of playing a solo raid

[foggy river]

keep playing

[teal galleon]

so

let’s say that i lose all my stuff right? from going on raids.

Would i scav for weapons

should i focus hella on quests?

[woven leaf]

i do almost all solo, when i grind quests i generally burn through resources, so then ill balance that with farm runs to build back up

[teal galleon]

what’s the best thing to do to earn money? in your own opinion ofc

you say you do farm runs , how do you do that?

[woven leaf]

scav runs when you just start out are great, after that i would focus maps your really comfortable on and play well, there are more lucrative routes, but those can also be more contested, if im struggling i take a cheap gun to my fav/best map and have successful budget runs

[teal galleon]

oh nice! you explained that very well. I’m comfortable on Customs and Woods Vaguely. I find it hard to find good looting routes sometimes or sometimes i don’t know what to pick up considering i don’t have flea market available to sell items at a higher price vice versa for buying items at low price.

just to pop another question , how important is the hideout? i’d like to progress on it but idk if it’s very important

[woven leaf]

when it doubt fill up and get out, woods is my go-to, learn all the spawns and player routes and you can have alot of success with cheap guns like mosin/sks or whatever your comfortable on

[teal galleon]

sks for sure! Thanks man

[snow jewel]

not important until lvl 15

[woven leaf]

i woudn't worry much about hideout until you get flea unlocked

[snow jewel]

dont bother looking for items when you can easily buy the stuff from flea

[teal galleon]

Okay! That makes sense

What are some of the best maps for early on quest items like salewas for example

[woven leaf]

crack/med house on customs, and med/military camp on woods, both are usually heavily traveled areas

[teal galleon]

okay sounds awesome , i appreciate the help i’m gonna do my due diligence and learn some more map routes 🫡

[snow jewel]

bloodhounds

[woven fiber]

just play. wipe is very soon anyway

[woven leaf]

these new event weapon crates have meds/salewas as well

[snow jewel]

yea one in every crate

[woven fiber]

sks is so bad end of wipe just use legmeta stuff. like the silenced kedr or shotguns

mp-153 with express

[snow jewel]

just hit legs

express got 1 pen

[bold kernel]

just grab a weapon box and use whatevers inside tbh

best strat for new players rn

[snow jewel]

mmm green tracer

[bold kernel]

nah nah the ammo not bad

[woven fiber]

sks is shit even after like 2 weeks of wipe

[snow jewel]

oh u mean the new boxes

[bold kernel]

bro 😭 not the green ones

and ye

[snow jewel]

yea lvl 2 timmy runing a rsass with 993

totally balanced

[woven fiber]

me after i wiped my account

[snow jewel]

wiped a team of goobers on customs just now

[woven fiber]

grub a pmc and snowball of his gun until u run out of good ammo

[snow jewel]

every single one was crouching

in a bush

[woven fiber]

who couldve guessed

[snow jewel]

new tarkov meta

they didn't even have bad stuff

like full mags of bp

[woven fiber]

end wipe players are weird

if ur not goofin with shit builds 7 months into wipe ur not playing right

[snow jewel]

idk i hate recoil

[woven fiber]

the mp5 green tracer flir

[snow jewel]

if ur not using meta ur not playing right smh

[snow jewel]

@dire folio

[woven fiber]

meta is so boring. same shit over and over and over

every player has the same gun

[snow jewel]

i was complaining about the same thing just a few days ago lel

but at least it makes ammo easy to get

[woven fiber]

adar is the best gun in the game

cuz its fun to mod

and fun to use

[snow jewel]

why not just use single fire m4?

[sharp plume]

what bes cheap gun

me poor

[snow jewel]

red flare

[sharp plume]

thank you

[snow jewel]

im bein fr, gives u a ton of end game shi

[sharp plume]

is it cheap

[snow jewel]

cant buy it, free from scavs

cheap gun is like ks or ump

[sharp plume]

thx

[dire folio]

Its also enhanced

[woven fiber]

This is what i mean about woods ammo spawns. U get this every other raid

[dire folio]

Yeah

Why 545 is good early wipe

[full grove]

trying to get use to the quests for next wipe can anyone help? (OCE,lev15)

[long otter]

How's the mp9 n?

[woven fiber]

Fine

Mp5 better but mp9 still good

[violet furnace]

Mp9 good for Quick and cheap runs, with 30rnd mags with either leg ammo or ap/pbp it can killer geared ppl easliy

[snow cloak]

why is bunkhouse impossible to get lmfao

[twilit ginkgo]

good dmg and pen on some bullets and simple build weapons. People early wipe have bad armour so you dont need to shoot through l5 and 6 armour

[uncut nimbus]

I dont like u :3

[sudden reef]

I agree

[kindred grotto]

good keys to buy for reserve?

[violet lynx]

is there a new event today?

[woeful spruce]

im not aware of any, still airdrops

[violet lynx]

ty man

[dawn geyser]

Use ??event

No need to ask

Listen here punk

[fickle pagoda]

How do I curve bullets around corners like Angelina Jolie does in Wanted?

[dawn geyser]

That might prove to be a bit difficult

[fickle pagoda]

Do I need a bigger mouse pad so I can flick it harder?

All jokes aside I finally built a PC to play this game but I realize I’m in way over my head

[slim maple]

no

You'll be a chad yet

[fickle pagoda]

I have spaghetti’os cans with strings for headset

[tepid mulch]

are weapons cases rare

just came back becuase its end of wipe

[slim maple]

they seem common

[tepid mulch]

yeah id love to get one

down on money

[safe elk]

??events

[carmine lantern]

Look to the skies for airdrops, inside them are sealed weapon crates which you will need to extract with to obtain the contents of them. (Weapon cases are not permanent and will disappear once loot is transferred to your stash)

[tepid mulch]

oh shit

i got two of those and died

whats in em?

also whens wipe

[woeful spruce]

a weapon, mods needed to make it good and top tier ammo for it, with some stims or meds as an extra

[woeful spruce]

nobody knows i doubt that bsg has even decided on that yet

[queen sonnet]

Any point bringing a helmet? get 1 tapped regardless of the helmet

[urban cedar]

tier 4+ only

or penis helmet if life is real bad

[snow jewel]

yuh

as long as its high ricochet

ulach so good 🤤

[chilly edge]

are the airdrops bugged? i cant seem to loot them no prompt comes up

[bold kernel]

you have to restart your game

[chilly edge]

i did and its still doing it

[bold kernel]

its happened to me before when i was scavving and i restarted mid raid

[chilly edge]

kk

[bold kernel]

did you check it from all angles??

[chilly edge]

yea

it was fine yesterday i got like 15 cases

[unkempt egret]

Decent enough when center mass with ap6.3/pbp or legd with quake/rip. Let down a bit by 9mm being 9mm and mag sizes.

[winter warren]

do you have to right click evrything to examine it or is there a key bind

[slim maple]

you can click the mouse roller

[winter warren]

ah thank you

[chilly edge]

alt f4 did work

[bold kernel]

great

[peak flicker]

Why does sometimes healing after a raid not work

[dense wren]

Hey all, I heard that lasers improve recoil control. That got me thinking, does this also apply to Infrared lasers too? If so can i just slap one on a gun in a daytime raid and turn it on for free recoil control without risk of people seeing it, as no one would be running night vision in a day raid.

[peak flicker]

I click heal then apply and afterwards it tells me my character is heavily wounded when trying to get into a raid and I have like 150 health. I have 900,000 roubles

[fervent raft]

Use a grizzly

[slim maple]

I remember those working

[fervent raft]

Its cheaper and youll gain stats too i think

[snow jewel]

looks ugly tho

why not use a normal laser?

[dense wren]

👍 thanks both

[bold kernel]

he was talking to a guy about using grizzly instead of therapist healing after raid

[snow jewel]

lmao

i hate not knowing extracts as a scav

i feel like a timmy again

[bold kernel]

i know every extract as a scav because i scav more than i pmc

[snow jewel]

i only scav factory so im hella lost on other maps

[bold kernel]

spam scav lighthouse for riches and treasure

yarrr

[fervent raft]

I talked about grizzly brev

How dare you Call that ugly

[snow jewel]

my fault

i thought u were replying to the laser thing he said

[fervent raft]

No that made No sense

[bold kernel]

you made him cry

[fervent raft]

I use The laser for aim not stats

[bold kernel]

and me im crying too

[snow jewel]

i didnt even know lasers gave stats honestly

[fervent raft]

Neither

Never knew This

[edgy plover]

It's why I can never use the RFB

also I think it has bad base stats for hipfire

[whole thistle]

random bug

[snow jewel]

just cus its bullpup im pretty sure

[bold kernel]

can someone help me get yagers note i can not find it

[edgy plover]

Are you able to find the plane crash

[bold kernel]

kind of

i keep dieing to scavs

cuz i suck

[edgy plover]

Well if you can find the plane the note is easy
Just go to the nose of the plane and look left, you'll see jaegers little tree stand and the note is right at the base of it

[edgy plover]

When it comes to scavs:
The moment a scav sees you, imagine a circle around you begins getting smaller. It will place shots somewhere in that circle about 1 second after initially seeing you. You have about 3-4 seconds before the only thing in that circle is parts of you. Breaking line of sight will freeze that circle, but the scav will maintain his accuracy on where it saw you last. You can reset the circle by shifting positions while in cover and re-peeking from a new angle. Therefore:

Rule 1: Always fight scavs from reliable hard cover. (Not bushes, they see right through those) If you are planning to fight a scav or hear one yelling at you, do not turn around and look for it, run to cover first.

Rule 2: Peek briefly, but steady your aim. Like said, a scav will only start shooting about 1 second after seeing you, and there's a very good chance that his first shot will miss. So peek, take 1-2 seconds to line up a good headshot, and take it. If you miss, duck behind cover and reposition

[knotty siren]

need help with extorsines quest if any one have the key?

[whole thistle]

The key spawns every raid in the same place if you want to try getting one yourself

I have over 2.5k hours on tarkov and I've been in this server since I started and I didn't know that

[dawn geyser]

There's a couple xD

wipe, wipdates, sales, event/events

stuff like that

[silk dagger]

is reserve not part of the airdrop event?

[torn copper]

what is the first accessable task on shoreline?

[peak flicker]

Can I make the Adar 2-15 full auto

[high niche]

Move all parts on M4A1 lower reciever

[peak flicker]

Alright, Thanks

[woeful spruce]

depends on what tasks you do first but like signal i think?

[molten sorrel]

hey, i just bought the game an hour ago. even offline mode is scary as shit. got any tips? or someone wanna play with me and teach me stuff? 😎

[foggy river]

youll get better

the game is just kinda like that

[slim maple]

Learning a map is a must

at least the extracts

[foggy river]

ye

[slim maple]

Factory is noob bait

[foggy river]

for maps map genie is pretty good but 3 or 4 of the maps are locked behind a paywall

idk i like customs, shoreline, and interchange

[slim maple]

those are pretty good maps

[foggy river]

just run a map a couple times, get a feel for it, try another, have fun

[foggy river]

agreed

[molten sorrel]

i tried factory and i did not enjoy it. shoreline seems kind of cool

[molten sorrel]

the second screen really shines in this game xD

[bold kernel]

So, a guy called Wiz joined one of our beginner groups, spent the entire time talking over me and trashing on my stash, and then said to not bring any guns, to only bring armour and a backpack, and he would bring me a gun because I'm only level 15. I got in and he immediately teamkilled me, then when I got upset he told me to leave lmao.

So he joined the group I was in and asked me to leave once he fucked up because I was upset

[slim maple]

Well that's mistake number 1

Joining a toxic player

Who wants that?

Or even allowing him to join in the first place.

[bold kernel]

Yeah, well he pressured me so hard to not bring anything and wouldn't let me speak. There was another guy who was equally as bad, so I had no leverage over making him leave. I just left myself.

[slim maple]

Yeah if you can't win those it's better to leave

[bold kernel]

It's a great introduction to the community as a new player lol

[slim maple]

You're going to meet social rejects like that

That's PVP Shooters for ya

[bold kernel]

I've noticed, I met a few of them already. Only on this server though.

So that was about a 200,000 rouble kit lost because he yelled at me to not bring anything, just to teamkill me. Nice.

It's funny because he said he was an amazing player and so good at the game, but he couldn't even tell I was his teammate.

[slim maple]

Eh, it happens.

[bold kernel]

Yeah, I'm not angry about it, it's just amusing. It is what it is.

[slim maple]

Pretty much

He'll get his heated moments when he gets clapped by someone

It always happens

[bold kernel]

Of course, I imagine the second he dies he'll rage like a child.

[slim maple]

saw a guy complain about someone holding an angle on a door calling it "boring"

[bold kernel]

He already acted like a toddler in the voice chat, so it's not hard to believe.

[slim maple]

like they lost it's over

[bold kernel]

hey clinically if you get team killed here make sure to report it to #discord-mod-mail cause team killers get banned from here

Got it

[slim maple]

If you do happen to get into a situation like that again you can also record your games

[bold kernel]

Well, I don't have video evidence so that's pointless lol.

[slim maple]

yeah

[bold kernel]

Wipe's in a little while, I'm probably done playing because I've encountered a few shitheads already so maybe I'll wait till wipe to find friends/play solo.

I don't feel like getting insulted because I'm level 15 so late into the wipe

[slim maple]

kinda what I'm doing

plus they're adding vaulting and quicker pistol switching next update

that's all I really want

[bold kernel]

I'm looking forward to the switch to a new engine so I can run the game better and not have to worry about blue screening on streets. That's actually what happened, on wipe day I got onto streets with a friend and bluescreened 4 times just in the loading screen. I never actually got into the map.

My PC is pretty good too, it just cannot run this game.

[slim maple]

Yeah I'm hoping it'll be more performance friendly

[bold kernel]

It's battlestate/nikita we're talking about, so I'm sure they'll find a way to mess it up.

[slim maple]

Yeah, there's always something to complain about in Tarkov.

From audio to cheaters

[bold kernel]

I tend to dislike people who complain so much about everything, since from an outsider POV it seemed childish, but the more I get into Tarkov the more I start to understand why.

[slim maple]

I get it too

audio is very important

desync is a pain to lose to

[median heart]

anyone have dorms marked key, i need to mark the circle and idc abt the loot

[molten sorrel]

when is the wipe? the wipe just removes everything in your inventory to the stock level?

[slim maple]

people are thinking end of month or so

[molten sorrel]

it's not official?

[slim maple]

nothing official

[molten sorrel]

fuck, this game is so much adrenaline. just did my 2 first raids, first one as a PMC i tried shooting to a guy and horribly died, and now as a PMC with just a SMG and my purpose was just to get to the extraction point. when i encountered a scav hiding in the bushes i almost shat my pants. and i couldnt see him for shit so i had to rush him. but i made it out alive and at least i have his aksu 😎

[distant plaza]

what happens if you shot red flare on the island of lightkeeper and you have the access

ah cheers bud

[slim maple]

probably when the durability goes below 30 or 25

[burnt zealot]

and the 6B5-15 is kinda only last a single death, once it zeroed it repair to like 50% dura or close to that

(ceramic)

[slim maple]

Oh, that armor.

I thought you were referring to the diaper armor.

6b5tm

Yeah Ceramic breaks fast

Use the diaper armor

lasts longer

How to tell scavs apart from PMCs?

Is hard

don't want to wait until they start shooting at me because that generally goes poorly

[frosty musk]

Voicelines, behavior, clothes, gear, armband

[ripe orchid]

is there any real way to GUARANTEE that it's a PMC?

voicelines yeah but nobody uses those on a pmc

[frosty musk]

Armband

Scavs cannot wear armbands

Only PMCs

If they have an armband they are a pmc

[woven leaf]

if you throw a grenade near them scavs will use voicelines

[ripe orchid]

if i hit them tho then i get scav traitor if am scav

am big baby rage mad at clothing customization basically

easy

goin back to sillyhouse

We love the turrets!

Seems like you got blasted by one of them

Due to the thorax hit through what looks like a slick?

Oh no that's a zhuk run

[snow jewel]

and nah was some rogue

[frosty musk]

I'm goobing

The rogue hit you with 556 fmj?

[snow jewel]

it was the gl :p

just 1 thunk and im dead

[frosty musk]

I knew

[frosty musk]

For some reason was talking about this gear with that raid

Is this a slick

[frosty musk]

It has that top strap on the plate

Yeah

[snow jewel]

and reap in pocket

hehe

[frosty musk]

I research this game too much I have like all the items memorized and have like 2 hours ingame

[snow jewel]

[foggy river]

can you put a scope on the mosin infantry?

[snow jewel]

yea

[snow jewel]

[frosty musk]

No

I don't believe so

There may be one mount that can

I know there is one mount that goes on the side which only the sniper can use

Then one that goes on top in front of the bolt

[snow jewel]

carry me in pvp

rn fr

[frosty musk]

hell no

tarkov is cheeks

I'll be fucking destroyed but everyone at this point

Everyone has thousands of rounds of ap in every single caliber now

[snow jewel]

yea lol

event is fun

[frosty musk]

No way wipe isn't within the next 2 weeks

Which is unfortunate because I was hoping wipe would be at least 13.1

Would make sense to start the wipe fresh

With netcode and optimization improvements

[snow jewel]

new unity would be fire

[woven fiber]

or they wipe with the new engine

what does unity 2021 do better exactly btw

where will the significant improvement be

[snow jewel]

should give u actual frames from what i can see

no more spaghetti code

[woven fiber]

streets playable???!??!?!?!??!?!?!?!?

[snow jewel]

hopefully

i get barely 120 frames

[woven fiber]

i get 70-90 on all maps but barely 10-30 on streets for idk what reason

[snow jewel]

10?

thas actually insane

[woven fiber]

yes its insane

[snow jewel]

how much ram u got?

[woven fiber]

if i dont crash while loading into the map

16gb

[snow jewel]

ah thats why

last time it was using 20 for me

[woven fiber]

unity 2021 is supposed to fix the ram issues

so maybe

[snow jewel]

supposedly

i mean tarkov was build as a browser game

[woven fiber]

contract wars was basically what arena will be

remember playing it on kongregate i think

not even that long ago lmao

[brave matrix]

yo me and two other dudes who just bought the game are totally lost, anyone up for a discord call to help us?

yeah pretty much

like i dont even really know how to reload 🙂

thanks man

ye i thought so but its hard to tell

how do i examine a weapon if it jams?

[woven leaf]

L then shift T to fix

[odd relic]

i purchased this game today hoping to have fun with it but was a total let down got team killed 3 times in a row all my weapons and armor stolen from my supposed teammates. hate to see such a potentially good game go down the gutter.

[bold kernel]

play solo

[woven leaf]

who are you grouping with? the ingame lfg thing? def dont do that

[odd relic]

yea ingame lfg i found out is the worse

[hard portal]

where are landing the new drops?

[fervent raft]

Just look up

[frigid finch]

can you even get out to this crate lol

[gloomy geyser]

how long do I have to be in raid to not get a run-through

[frigid finch]

7 min

[snow jewel]

u can walk through the water

ive had it land on there

[frigid finch]

i tried everywhere and i couldnt walk through the water anywhere

[red hound]

how long till the wipe

[leaden aspen]

1-5 weeks probably

[west turret]

any new players need help? NA central

[unkempt igloo]

I'm not exactly new im lol 18 and I wanna find someone who is really good to help me get some guns and gear up please tired of losing my good kits to people who give shitty call outs

lvl 18*

[queen sonnet]

Whats a good cheap gun build? Not tryna spend 150k per gun

[storm tree]

150k is cheap

should be minimum

[modern mulch]

Depends what your personal choice is, UMP is cheap and good ammo etc. What kind of gun are you wanting to run

[woeful spruce]

you want budget, wiat a sec

[queen sonnet]

i killed some guy and used his ump and i liked it

idk the build tho

[modern mulch]

UMPs are very basic, can't really mod it much further than a suppressor, grip & flash/laser

[queen sonnet]

thats fine, u got a screenshot of a ump build or smth?

[woeful spruce]

less than 70k less than 50 recoil, its hideus, the horizontal recoil is trash but its very cheap and decent at close ranges

[queen sonnet]

ima try this ty

[woeful spruce]

this bad boy is good early-mid wipe. right now it doesnt work too great but its still a budget option

[storm tree]

that is disgusting

[languid owl]

that grip is TERRIBLE

and that sight isnt worth using at all

[woeful spruce]

yes, but they combined cost less than a single good sight

[languid owl]

use a ff3

cheap and pretty good

imo

[dire folio]

Why r u awake

[languid owl]

me?

[snow jewel]

why not use irons with a laser?

[snow jewel]

why r u.. u said ur going to bed like 6 hours ago

liar

[woeful spruce]

also a very valid option but with the horizontal recoil this thing has irons can be hard to use

[dire folio]

Yup

[dire folio]

Meow

[languid owl]

its 8:47 am

[dire folio]

Use a jmac instead

[dire folio]

Who

[languid owl]

im not falling for that

[dire folio]

Asked

Got you

[languid owl]

ok buddy

[queen sonnet]

what meds should i keep in my pouch?

[snow jewel]

2 grizzly

in epsilon

[safe elk]

Hop hop

[woeful spruce]

another one that less than half of 150k probably more efective than the aksu from earlier, even with ps ammo you can do stuff with this. (im not using jmac compensator cause i assume you got non max traders but if you got jmac use that)

[snow jewel]

use ak 101

ez

[woeful spruce]

true, thats good too

[dire folio]

Haii

[safe elk]

How doing?

[dire folio]

Eepy

[queen sonnet]

any alternatives for this? or are all the other helmets bad

[safe elk]

:0
Me too!

[dire folio]

Tan ulach

[tidal lagoon]

tc-2000 helmets but they dont have ears afaik

[woeful spruce]

there arent any cheaper alternatives other than yellow ulach, but if you want to keep class 4 protection but willing to give up ear coverage you can get a tc-2002 or tc-2001

[queen sonnet]

Aight will have a look

[dire folio]

Acchc is there too

But is ugly

[torn rapids]

should i sell my slick or use it

[woeful spruce]

yea nice one, lets see that cost tho

[dire folio]

Use ot

[torn rapids]

or do i run korunds

[dire folio]

And dont crab

Go kiss snow

[torn rapids]

it doesnt protect my tummy tho

[torn rapids]

ewww

[snow jewel]

140k for a way better gun

ez

[torn rapids]

ive never kissed a boy

dont intend to start now

[storm tree]

max traders mind you

[torn rapids]

[dire folio]

Siamese

Wattt

[snow jewel]

shhhh

[torn rapids]

so L for him really

[dire folio]

How dare he

[storm tree]

I could make a better one with 100 k

[torn rapids]

real

[dire folio]

Imma beat him up for that

[woeful spruce]

yup, way better but i was aiming to help bro out cause he requested cheap builds specifically to not pay 150k per gun

[storm tree]

it slaps but traders

[torn rapids]

literally asked him out like 4 times, he said yes 4 times and cancelled 4 times

[dire folio]

Damn

[storm tree]

take the hint

[dire folio]

Soulmates

[torn rapids]

[dire folio]

Restart game

[woeful spruce]

oki

[dire folio]

U get random peoples presets sometimes

I think its fun looking at them

[bold kernel]

this isn’t a bad build tbh

change the foregrip though

[dire folio]

Stock is fine

[bold kernel]

what’s wrong with the stock?

[woeful spruce]

im not spending my roubles on a meta m4 in they year of our lord 2023

[bold kernel]

i can somewhat agree

[gloomy geyser]

When wipe does actually happen how much of a notice does bsg give, like 24 hours? a week?

Ok gotcha thanks

[chilly edge]

what event is going on today? is drops still happening?

[fervent raft]

What reciever is in This

It has wierd High recoil for that Stock and grip

[woeful spruce]

cant check, i got someone elses presets now

[fervent raft]

Lmao

Love that glitch

Oh He has a stinker surpressor on

Didnt realise

[storm tree]

bad supp and gas block

[fervent raft]

Yes

I see it now

[chilly edge]

whats that message mean the translation about labs?

[fervent raft]

What extract is powered

O is The one below server and R is main

I dont remember The rest

[chilly edge]

this picture

[fervent raft]

Oh idk

[woeful spruce]

its i think some scavs talking that someone sent a lot of pmcs into labs to do the same mission at once

they say its some sor of joke

my russian isnt the best

[chilly edge]

oh ok

i guess thats the translation

[slim maple]

Sounds like a bunch of pmcs in labs event

[woeful spruce]

oh yea, hawk is a raider name so its raiders talking

[slim maple]

or horde raiders

[chilly edge]

airdrops still going?

i have not gotten into a raid yet

[fervent raft]

Not 3 pr raid as before

[bold kernel]

this is more than likely just a tournament announcement

[storm tree]

Sometimes there are

[chilly edge]

ah ok

[fervent raft]

My bad Then

[storm tree]

from what ive seen there are either 3 or none

[stable agate]

HELP

[inner mountain]

?

[mint copper]

Damn already got problems purchasing the game, aint that a warningsign

[inner mountain]

what problem

@mint copper

[mint copper]

Got a purchase cancelled notification but still got charged

Aswell as for some reason i got charged danish currency which made the game like 55 bucks rather rhan 44

The danish thing might have been my fault tho lmao

[inner mountain]

did you buy from the site?

[mint copper]

Yeah

Logged in first

[edgy plover]

Use #community-support

[mint copper]

Im on the site rn avt to contact support

Oh bruh thanks i didnt see that channel

[inner mountain]

yeah try community support BSG can take days to reply if they reply at all

[mint copper]

Man this sucks

I even paid extra on accident which is basically as much as the second tier costs rip

[inner mountain]

Yes definetly try Xsolla when I needed to recover my tarkov account they were super helpful

[mint copper]

Is that an american thing ive never heard of it

[inner mountain]

You should see them on the CC statement

they handle the process of payment usually

third partily

https://help.xsolla.com/ try starting here maybe

[mint copper]

Ahhh damn that sounds like its gonna take a while, guess i gotta get to it then

Thanks for the help

[inner mountain]

good luck

[mint copper]

Oh?

[edgy plover]

As it is dealing with anything money related, the people tasked to help will either be seen as extremely helpful or awful depending on the outcome

[mint copper]

Not on atleast

But ive never gotten the option to pay w dkk b4 this is the first time

Oh bruh apperently i got the money back but missing $3 for some reason

[slim maple]

not the 3 dollars

[mint copper]

Guess its the fuck you in general tax

Smh

[mint copper]

Couldve bought myself a soda or something smh

[slim maple]

true

Didn't think you'd have such a problem with a transaction

unfortunate that you lost more than you had intended

It's okay though

I bought EOD

I lost too much

[mint copper]

You bought whatnow

[slim maple]

EoD edition

[mint copper]

Oh shi

[slim maple]

basically 130

USD

[mint copper]

Guess not all of us have bills

[slim maple]

maybe someday

[mint copper]

Guess its attempt nr 2 and if it doesnt work this time and they take 3 more goddamn dollars i aint getting the game

[slim maple]

surely you got an email

or something

[mint copper]

Nuh

[mint copper]

Basically just said no game for u goodbye

[slim maple]

dang

[stable agate]

i died

its alright

[mint copper]

Alright second try

Better not treat me as a dane again

[slim maple]

hmm

You're right about that

turns out I did buy with amazonpay though

good sale

[mint copper]

Bruh it says it costs 35 euro but total is 45 what is this

[slim maple]

taxes?

[mint copper]

Since when do i have to pay taxes for games tf

This has been an unfortunate experience

[stable agate]

allways?

[slim maple]

I guess that's one reality of tarkov

[edgy plover]

Since when have you not lol?

[dire folio]

Mlem

[mint copper]

Always only paid the listed price smh

[stable agate]

lol

[mint copper]

Never like this game costs 35 euro but yk fuck you give us 10 more

[stable agate]

i think you misread

chill

americans pay like 12-15 in takes for this game

[mint copper]

Jesus

[stable agate]

depends where you live]

i have a 10% tax

[storm tree]

I had 20% if i remember correctly

[slim maple]

Well, when you're logged in on EFT website. Do you have an install button shown or any transaction histories on the bottom right?

[edgy plover]

Doesn’t it still do a thing where it charges you a small amount and you have to verify that amount?
Sure you didn’t misinterpret what was happening?

[mint copper]

Starting to rethink this

[mint copper]

Nope

[slim maple]

Ah

[mint copper]

Oh bruh just googled it, when i paid in dkk the tax was like 40% went from 260 to 350

Nah im dumb

[slim maple]

40%

[mint copper]

Cant even do math rn

All this shi happening is making me dumber

[slim maple]

It's all right

[mint copper]

So the game is listed as 40 bucks but is basically 55

Well

[slim maple]

It will

and it's never good to look at

[mint copper]

In my country tax is in the price

If it says 30kr it costs 30kr

[hoary falcon]

So you never know how much the tax man is taking from you

I prefer it when it separates product price from tax price

[mint copper]

Just find it unecessary

[hoary falcon]

It shows you exactly how much is being taken from you by taxes, instead of hiding it

What isn't better about that

If you don't like it, vote accordingly

[mint copper]

The tax is listed on the reciept

[hoary falcon]

Clearly a lot of people don't realize that the final sum has taxes factored in

As this conversation demonstrated

[mint copper]

Tax is listed on the reciept, they just tell u the full price w tax included

[hoary falcon]

You were the one who said literally "Since when do i have to pay taxes for games tf"

Obviously you didn't know

Which is is why i called it "hidden"

I prefer taxes to be more obvious, because lots of people don't realize how much is taken from them

[tardy crescent]

Only really hidden if you aren't aware of your tax rate

[hoary falcon]

Yes, and the general public is almost by definition, lacking in awareness of such things

Go take a poll on a street corner to see that

[tardy crescent]

What functioning adult isn't aware of their tax rate

[hoary falcon]

It's not like everywhere has a single tax rate

It's often different by product, like was said before

[tardy crescent]

Even then thats kind of important to know

[hoary falcon]

Literally go ask people on the street

See how many can tell you the tax rate for various products

[tardy crescent]

Thankfully its a flat 7% for me

Wild to think that there are people unaware to how much they pay in taxes

[hoary falcon]

Yes... that's what I said

Well that would be true if VAT didn't vary by product catagory

Often very much dependent on subsidies or other controls put in place by different administrations

Which can change regularly, making it not redundant

More like, am I gonna buy this now or in a year when a different government is liable to change things

Hey fair point, I'm just making the case that I prefer seeing the exact details of where my money is going. Redundant or not

[stable agate]

can someone help me learn woods?

[cunning thorn]

good kits for customs x reserve?

[snow jewel]

mid

[hoary falcon]

I think there's also various studies that demonstrate that separating product price from tax price impacts consumer decisions. People are more rash to buy things when the tax is factored in to the final cost

I might have that backwards, but I know I saw something on it

[snow jewel]

armor sucks, altyn is pretty bad, 100 rounders fuck over ergo, and the Osprey is just bad in every way

[hoary falcon]

But doesn't the conversation you just had with the guy who had no idea he ever paid taxes on games demonstrate the opposite?
Idk, I think you overestimate how much average people know about their countries tax rate.
Or maybe I underestimate the average european. Idk

Sure, but my case is that making it more explicit might impact voting decisions

I think if people saw it was at 40% compared to say 20%, they'd care a lot more about lowering it

Yea I have been expecting that lol

Well yea, for purchasing decisions. No disagreement there

I have never heard them crowned that
I remember it being windy, overcast, and smelling of mildew

The fins?? Now that's interesting

[bold kernel]

number 4?

[hoary falcon]

Yea this list is sus

Tracks homogeneity of culture quite well though

[mint copper]

@tiny orbit did u have any issues buying the game in norway? Cant figure out why i cant buy it

[storm tree]

I'd say something buid I'd be banned again

[mint copper]

Did u use paypal

Oh

Visa didnt work

I use chrome

Ima try paypl

[edgy plover]

Man didn't have enough RAM to purchase the game

Chrome claims another victim

[slim maple]

Is it Microsoft Edge time?

Or are we downloading firefox?

Or better yet Opera GX

[amber dune]

anyone wanna help with some customs quests? lvl 16 NA

[carmine lantern]

There are no current event(s) at this time

[cunning thorn]

whens next event?

[whole thistle]

They don't tell us lol

[cunning thorn]

thats gay

[mint copper]

Finally got the game, which is best, usec or bear?

[cunning thorn]

usec

[slim maple]

They get different weapons but yeah basically same loadouts.

Bear has AK

USEC has M4

So just pick either

[whole thistle]

thats only starting gear btw

the gear you can get after that is completely unrestricted

[whole thistle]

do you want to say fucking fuck shit fuck or cyka blyat when you press f1

[mint copper]

Both tempting ngl

[whole thistle]

lol

[snow jewel]

usec

cus lh

[uncut nimbus]

Whats a good map for an ASVAL/VSS

[leaden aspen]

labs

[mint copper]

I have no idea where exfils are lmao

Do the diff background color on items mean rarity?

[dire folio]

No

Its just like the type of item

[mint copper]

Ahhhh

[inner mountain]

go bear so you can voice line and trick players into thinking you are a scav

imo

[languid owl]

m

[foggy river]

finally a new meta I can get behind

[whole thistle]

you have to use a map online

the wiki has good ones, and mapgenie is alright

[foggy river]

ye map genie is aight, just use the filtering options (wine glass shape next to the "Maps" button)

[languid owl]

people who think bear voicelines are scavs are probably stupid and new

[foggy river]

and filter out most stuff for now, just look at exfils and a few loot spots

[languid owl]

im a bear voiceline enjoyer because they sound good lol

[foggy river]

do usec get different western accents? I heard an aussie accent before but it was one of the rogues lol

[whole thistle]

one of the goons has some kind of accent

player usecs are all american

[foggy river]

right okay

[snow jewel]

birdeye

[languid owl]

usec voucelinrs suck

[whole thistle]

yeah

[languid owl]

theyre awful

[foggy river]

fkn bird eye bruv

[whole thistle]

thats why i love them so much

[languid owl]

they all sound so zesty

[foggy river]

lmao zesty

[whole thistle]

18 voice cracks per line of "FUCK YOU YOU FUCKING FUCK"

[foggy river]

lmao

[languid owl]

plus the very high pitch voice

[whole thistle]

i call him the soyjak voice

[languid owl]

freak usec

vs

cool bear

[woeful spruce]

usec voicelines suck but english bear is just russian man trying really hard for an american acent also saying cringe usec voicelines which is arguably worse

[languid owl]

i HATE the broken english bear voicelines

they suck so badly

[snow jewel]

hes

from Africa i believe

could be wrong

[foggy river]

lmao the english bear lines are lulz

[whole thistle]

english bear is so bad

[languid owl]

all of the russian bear voices are good

[whole thistle]

do you mean based on the accent or did you see that somewhere

[languid owl]

none of the english ones are

[snow jewel]

based on lore, not accent

[whole thistle]

oh id never heard of that before

[woeful spruce]

its just so much that they could have done with them, like mix russian and english for some, make him forget the word in english or something, say some not gramatically corect stuff literally anything other than reciting usec voicelines while trying to sound like a native speaker and failing miserably

[woeful spruce]

i understand russian and they are 100% better than usec voicelines

[whole thistle]

hearing the russian man go "fucking ruski" is so jarring lol

[snow jewel]

i swear i heard it in a yt video

[languid owl]

hearing anyone with the american bear voiceline just pisses me off

[foggy river]

yeah id take pigeon russian + english over what they got now for the bear english lines

[languid owl]

it sounds so stupid

[woeful spruce]

they use russian military slang, calling enemies homophobic slurs, do creative insults theres even a singing voiceline for one of the bears

[foggy river]

interesting

[languid owl]

the slur part is a bit much

[whole thistle]

oh yeah i was watching a video of bear voice lines translated and the slur one caught me off guard lmao

[whole thistle]

russia moment

[snow jewel]

show me where, because i dont remember a slur

just swears

[whole thistle]

f word

[foggy river]

and what the usec ones are basically jsut your run-of-the-mill "marine voice" or something?

[woeful spruce]

he says pidarasy a lot

that has a stong hoophobic conotation

[whole thistle]

they just say "fuck you bitch die" but remixed a few ways

[foggy river]

lmao

[whole thistle]

my favorite voice line in the entire game is "GONNA KILL YOU ALL (long pause) (voice crack) BASTARDS"

[foggy river]

gets the point across but i see what you mean, its a bit lacking in creativity

[languid owl]

😭

[snow jewel]

in the context it means that, not the f slur

source: me

[languid owl]

chat is this real

[woeful spruce]

yea, just like calling someone the f word in english doesnt always mean youre calling someone gay, but the origin of the word stays

[languid owl]

it kinda does

youre not really supposed to say that if youre not gay

its kinda frowned upon

[feral hull]

Is finishing this task worth it...?

[snow jewel]

yes

[feral hull]

the neg rep tho

[languid owl]

you get it back

dw

[snow jewel]

youll make it up easily

[bold kernel]

anyone want to help me play? i dont know anything about this game

[whole thistle]

the negative rep is nothing, youre already close so go for it but focusing that task is kinda a waste of time

[woeful spruce]

you dont need to really stress it cause it doesnt unlock any further quests but if you happen to do it its worth it

[feral hull]

I killed a lvl46 player in factory with a pistol like it was so bad ass i jusmped from some stairs and killed him and got all his loot and while i was medding fucking tagilla came and vilated me with his fucking hammer

[foggy river]

lmao

classic tagilla moment

[feral hull]

ffr

couldnt clip the kill either because i got no disc space

[foggy river]

aww

[languid owl]

tagilla is either really easy or you just die

[feral hull]

it was peak kill

[foggy river]

what do y'all use to clip stuff with?

[feral hull]

GeForce Experience

[foggy river]

oh really eh

[whole thistle]

whatever your gpu comes with

[languid owl]

i dont play tarkov

[whole thistle]

i use the radeon thing

[bold kernel]

can anyone help me play?

[snow jewel]

#pvp-lfg

[foggy river]

whats the hotkey for the geforce ingame overlay?

[bold kernel]

alt z

[foggy river]

nice

[languid owl]

nice

[feral hull]

im getting rid off my roblox tarkov kills

[languid owl]

roblox tarkov is fireeee

[feral hull]

lowkey i began playing tarkov again because i realized that I could literally play the real game instead of playing roblox tarkov

[woeful spruce]

i got an amd and its software has radeon relive inbuilt, its not great but doest the job for me

[feral hull]

escape from anarchy?

[foggy river]

okay fair, seems everyone uses whatever their gpu provides

or everyone who answered anyway

[languid owl]

i play deadline

[foggy river]

ill just use geforce

[woeful spruce]

i played a tarkov mode in a shitty roblox like zombie game Unturned and it got me hooked so much i bought tarkov

[foggy river]

i got my trooper 35 and ulach back off insurance, poggers

[languid owl]

not much lije tarkov but the pvp is fun and good gun modding

[feral hull]

deadline is tough but too complicated to try for me

[foggy river]

I played a 2d version of STALKER called Zero Sievert, and then i decided to try tarkov

[feral hull]

unturned is goat game but wouldnt run on my old laptop. Games like that are what I like tbh

[foggy river]

the weapon modding in ZS is similar to tarkov

and i just wanted to rock aks-74u scoped lmao

[woeful spruce]

its esentally a worse dayZ/rust but its free and fun

[foggy river]

goated

[feral hull]

fr, im pretty sure i got it after making my steam account since it was free

you guys mind if i send a clip of escape from anarchyy?

its pretty much like tarkov but no loot saving

and you just respawn when you die

[snow jewel]

i don't think anyone cares

[feral hull]

real

[snow jewel]

i used to loot everything in that game

i be carrying 20 tons

[feral hull]

clip too big

oh wel

[foggy river]

whats a good starter sniper?

[feral hull]

i say mosin with some good ammo

[foggy river]

ye eh, does it have to be a sniper variant to put a scope on it?

like the infantry carbine and infantry are basically ironsights only (with base stock for those variants)?

[woeful spruce]

mosin is decent but if you want to move to something that can start mounting better scopes without some weird awkward rail mounts the sv 98 is a good choice

ammo is cheap, you can probably do fine with lps in it

but it feeds from box mags so harder to lvl sniper skill with it

[sinful citrus]

is this why all the timmys i kill that never stand a chance are always using sv98 cuz ppl recommend it in here?

terrible gun don't use it

[woeful spruce]

why is it bad?

[sinful citrus]

to heavy and clunky its pretty much the same as a mosin but you have to be seperate scope.. just get the mosin with the scope on it

[woeful spruce]

has the highest MOA among supressed sniper rifles, good ammo

[woeful spruce]

its literally the same weight as the dvl and actually ligher tha a sniper mosin

[dire folio]

Axmc

[woeful spruce]

oh yea true

[sinful citrus]

axmc is right

trash gun never been killed by a sv 98 i promise

timmys getting smoked with it all the time then i go and sell it

[woeful spruce]

i could shit on the m700 with the same argument but despite being used by scavs and new players its a very repectable gun

[sinful citrus]

scavs spawn with it

..

[foggy river]

sv98 is so loud tho

[sinful citrus]

its literally free

[dire folio]

Sv98 is good gun

[foggy river]

its like an elephant gun

[sinful citrus]

terrible gun..

trust

[foggy river]

ill try some out and do a couple rounds with each

im particular to the mosin tho

[sinful citrus]

trust the lvl 60

[dire folio]

Sv98 is quick

[foggy river]

i like the VSS too but its not really starter lmao

tho i spawned with one as a scav onetime

[woeful spruce]

its very hard to use it as a sniper but if you can master it its pretty fun

[foggy river]

really eh? interesting to know

[woeful spruce]

it shoots subsonic bulets so its buletdrop is much sharper than other guns making sniping unintuitive and slow

[foggy river]

hows the sr-25? i pulled one from a weapon crate

[sinful citrus]

best
