[bold kernel]

ok ray324

[civic kiln]

bro didnt even try 😭

[potent crater]

When are we thinking wipe is

[tardy crescent]

December

[wooden torrent]

Looking for help on streets with the audit and the door tasks I don’t know streets well and would appreciate some help I play eu

[native light]

Were there any leaks what part of December? Y’all think it would coincide with Arena or will they do it later?

Interesting! Thanks for the input

[raven basin]

Not a beginner, but do have a question - has anyone seen the AK-74N recently? I have had this quest and been killing scavs for days and they have every model but N - is there a reliable map that sees a higher spawn of it?

[sharp socket]

Audit can be found in the financial building, it can be found near the sewer river extract with the abandoned factory behind it, it’s a two story yellow building, the door task can be found in a building past a power station near the arch that leads to the chek area, go through an open gate to the right of the arch and enter an appartment building that has a PC block and a dead scav in the stairwell, climb up the stairwell past the trash bags to get to the door, issue is you need the bloody rusted key which up to two can be found in the stylobate mall on the first floor where the toolbox and little repair booth is, it’s a small blue mall with sniper scavs on it that’s behind pinewood near klimov, the key is super rare, one use and can’t be put in your secure container but the room can have immensely rare keys

[raven basin]

Ah there we go, I will just do that then - I am dumb, thank you

I swear my KD is over 100 now with all the mindless scav killing I have been doing w/o looting

[wooden torrent]

Tysm I rlly appreciate it

[sweet ibex]

Can multiple people complete a task that requires you to pickup an item?

[tidal lagoon]

yes if its a quest item like golden watch and not a loot item like salewas

[vapid peak]

is scav rep not worth it? how come almost all player scavs kill eachother?

[tidal lagoon]

they dont know how to play game or dont give a fuck

scav rep reduces cooldowner quite a bit and scav box timer significantly

[vapid peak]

i feel it probly dosent help that they only take .1 rep per kill

[sweet ibex]

So like the motor controllers for Lend Lease multiple people can get them at the same time in a single run?

[tidal lagoon]

yes

[sweet ibex]

Gracias

[fervent raft]

the actual scav enjoyers dont kill other scav

if they are above 6 rip they loose a lot

[raven basin]

Well it puts you at 5.99 when above 6, so you lose the difference

[vapid peak]

i main scav cause im newish and loose my whole stash mad quick on pmc lmao

[fervent raft]

something like that

[vapid peak]

should i be using binural audio?

thx ill check it out

[merry hawk]

Doea scavs spawn with pm pistols ?

[shrewd fog]

YES

[merry hawk]

Killed like hundreds of them didn’t find any

[faint canopy]

Eventually

[fossil dust]

any of these keys good for something?

[shrewd fog]

@fossil dust Yes, they are all good for opening doors

[fossil dust]

[shrewd fog]

Fr tho, some of those are early quest keys. like 303 i think, 206, maybe W303.

[faint canopy]

Danex is op

[shrewd fog]

Danex is usless lol

[faint canopy]

Wdym best key in the game

Bitcoin spawns

[sharp helm]

ZB-014 has a high chance of spawning ice cream cones for the quest.

[blissful burrow]

just kill Zyrachi and Sektants. Easy icecreme cones

literally 12+

each time

[sharp socket]

ZB-014 opens an extra extract on woods that comes with chances for the 5.45 60 round mags and medical items, cabin key because I can’t see which cabin key it exactly is, is for some mediocre loot on customs or a quest key on customs, dorm 104 for two story is okay with a toolbox and 2 jackets, pump front and yotota is basically useless, bunkhouse has crap loot but is needed for a task on customs, three story keys 204 and 214 open rooms with safes, power substation key isn’t that great with just a wooden box and a black weapon box, dorm 303 has basically no loot and is really only for a quest, dorm 103 has no loot and isn’t really even for a quest, dorm 206 also has no loot and is only for a quest, pump back is pretty useless, RB-MP12 isn’t great but opens some extra loot in one of the knight buildings on reserve, RB-PSP2 opens one of the storage cages in the underground warehouses on reserve which can have a good amount of stuff, hard to say what safe key that is based off icon, East 314 has some decent loot on it, Danex opens nothing and is for kappa, WTP storage is a solid key for building 2 first floor of the rogue camp with a toolbox, technical supply crate and multiple valuable spawns, west 303 is useless and open by default, don’t know about the store key, 203 has two duffles and is needed for a task and stairs is really only useful if you have chek 15

[stiff gate]

guys i have 10 gpu in bitcoin farm, is it even worth it?

any thoughts about hte bitcoin farm, mine is level 1 and i dont see that huge benefit in stacking 10 gpus, but idk maybe im wrong

[safe elk]

Free money is free money

[hidden jolt]

Bitcoin farm isn’t really worth it

[stiff gate]

i mean its not big difference having 10 gpu in there and 1 gpu in there

idk

thinking of selling 9 and keeping one in there

[spare robin]

Where did you find this?

I haven't heard of this

[frigid frost]

what is going on here

these are all ai

[sharp socket]

Scav gang

[restive linden]

is the part between sparja store and lexos completely mined?

its like this on tarkov help so im confused

[white pond]

the shots sound close

but its not

[sharp socket]

Yes

[mystic root]

How do you see when you kill a player scav and a NPC scav?

[hot pecan]

anyone want to play a few games/ maybe give a new player some tips & tricks? Im like 40 hours in my first wipe. I know the basics, stash is full asf, and im not broke.

[humble sigil]

So long as you don’t use me as a shield I’m down. Been trying to find people to play with other then getting used and losing stuff. 😂

[hot pecan]

im like a dog. feed me and ill die for you

[humble sigil]

Oh damn. 😂

[sharp socket]

You cant except for their movement

That’s the only way to really tell it’s a Pscav

[silent turret]

Didn't pscavs used to have a pouch slot on looting, or was that never a real thing

[sharp socket]

Never had a secure container

[hot pecan]

add me if youre downski

[silent turret]

No, I mean the slot, not the container.

[humble sigil]

I sent you a request. @hot pecan

[sharp socket]

I mean yeah if you queue as one there is a slot in your inventory for one but it can’t be filled unless you scav customs and find the waist bag

[silent turret]

Yeah, but I was just double checking if other players can see that slot when looting, when AI's wouldn't have it

[sharp socket]

I don’t know but I wouldn’t imagine so as it doesn’t show the container slot for PMCs

[frigid frost]

is this kit good enough for night customs

i need to kill 10 scavs with a bolt action

[south meteor]

no
get a headset

[frigid frost]

oh yeah i forgot about those

[silent turret]

Weird, I could have sworn PMCs had an empty pouch slot, but I'm probably misremembering

[sharp socket]

Yeah you can’t see a PMCs secure container lol

[frigid frost]

why are headsets so expensive

[south meteor]

they aren't?

they're like 30-40k

[sharp socket]

M32 is a cheap one that isn’t awful, hell tac sport is super cheap and is really good

[silent turret]

You have 4.5m......

[sharp socket]

Like 25k off the flea

The only 2 headsets that go above 50k usually and are worth the price are XCELs and comtac 4s

[plain summit]

Buy m32 and insure it

8/10 come back through insurance

[frigid frost]

ok so this is good?

oh wait i need night vision

[sharp socket]

Yeah that’s fair solid, you lack NVGs but I’m guessing your doing TS part 5

[frigid frost]

ok pretend i have night vision instead of a face shield

and yes

why is the mosin unrealistically heavy in this game?

[mystic root]

Ohh okay! And after the game also? (kill log)

[sharp socket]

Yes

They will appear as regular scavs

[mystic root]

K thankyou!

[inner sluice]

I am grid locked to level 19 and I only have like 100k roubles. Working it up but I've been dying every scav urn

Every raid I'm only making like 500-1000EXP and I need another 32,000.

[spare robin]

What is the cause of most of your deaths?

[silent turret]

@inner sluice Quests are what will get your level up along side raid xp

[inner sluice]

Dumb deaths, I've been running factory for a few raids trying to mainly get scavs because maps like Customs and Woods I'm always just shot across the map head eyes every raid no matter what I bring.

[fleet torrent]

you stop repairing armor at about 50% durability for lvl 5 right?

[pearl palm]

general rule is at half dura they drop an armor class
so it would be a lvl 4 armor practically speaking

if its a low effective durability armor, itll basically just protect as class 4 againsnt a single shot

[tidal lagoon]

how heavy is your mosin

[fleet torrent]

Gotcha tyvm

[inner sluice]

@spare robin These are the kinds of deaths I get. https://medal.tv/games/escape-from-tarkov/clips/1A5WsRCIyRDeCq/d1337u4P6nm4?invite=cr-MSxhUUYsOTIyOTc3ODAs

They were using PPBS ammo

[silent turret]

Just side step out or peek instead of sprinting around into it

[inner sluice]

Im just matched with chads al the time thing thats all

[frigid frost]

6.5kg

[tidal lagoon]

really doesnt sound wrong with the suppressor scope and changed stock

[frigid frost]

the stock makes it lighter

[tidal lagoon]

fair

[frigid frost]

the suppressor is only .5kg, scope also like .5kg

[silent turret]

You were walking around calmly then decided to sprint into a room blind @inner sluice and yeah, factory is a meat grinder with L50+ gank squads

[frigid frost]

irl at least

[inner sluice]

Like theyre all geared up like an MCX 300., An Osprey, that shit and I can't fight against them because I have no AP ammo of any kind and im shit out o luck for roubles

[frigid frost]

in game the bramit is like 1kg for some reason

[silent turret]

@inner sluice What's your goal on factory

Because if it's just for pvp, there's no end game there

[inner sluice]

Purely XP grinding just killing scavs and running to gate 3

[tidal lagoon]

xp grinding u do by doing quests brother

killing is not a xp grind

[inner sluice]

All my quests are either PVP, or doing interchange and interchange is a shit show trying to play to kme

[tidal lagoon]

show your quests

[inner sluice]

One second, loading into Customs raid.

[silent turret]

Hopefully one of the quests wasn't farming pt1 where you ran up the stairs in the first 2 seconds lol

[restive linden]

there are ppl that play 3 man night raid interchange, ok 💀

[frigid frost]

i think i just saw my first hp cheater?

i shot him for 300 damage, all center mass, nothing absorbed by armor, and he didnt die

also 1 tapped through level 4 helmet of course

[bold kernel]

Could’ve been hitting his limbs?

[silent turret]

Games too mechanically obfuscated. That 300 damage could have blacked him and collateralled into his limbs, but unless his head goes black or he dehydrates from a blacked stomach, who knows with rng.

*or the rng on blacked parts resulting in death

[frigid frost]

idk, oh well

[sharp socket]

Yeah idk

[frigid frost]

there really is no point to helmets though

[silent turret]

It's really not worth thinking about and just keep chugging along

[sharp socket]

Sometimes tarkov just says “okay you die now”

[sharp socket]

There is

[silent turret]

Helmets are best for ricochet

[frigid frost]

i got 1 tapped through a level 4 helmet

[bold kernel]

then wear a lvl 5 one?

[frigid frost]

one of the best helmets in the game

[bold kernel]

LMAO

tell me it looked like this

[frigid frost]

if i wear a level 5 i cant hear

[sharp socket]

Ricochet, NVGs and stopping scav rounds

[bold kernel]

u have to wear modules on the helmet

to make it good

a stock helmet isnt going to do anything else other than ricochet

[silent turret]

that top armor in game is lvl5 isn't it?

[bold kernel]

maybe stop some bullets in like 1/5 situations

[frigid frost]

it was a tc2002

with night vision

[bold kernel]

yea no way

[frigid frost]

1 tapped to top of head anyways

[bold kernel]

that helmet is ass

[restive linden]

tc2002 is t4

[frigid frost]

? its t4 with high richochet chance

[bold kernel]

its dog

it even looks dog

[silent turret]

ricochet is rng

[frigid frost]

you realize you cant wear headphones with the t5s or t6s right?

[bold kernel]

these helmets

and the ulach

and the earless ulach

are the ones that will function

[frigid frost]

the fast mt is functionally the same helmet as the 2002

[bold kernel]

?

thick skull no

im telling you

wear modules on your helmet

if you dont theres nothing more you can do

[frigid frost]

the airframe and 2002 are the same armor class

[bold kernel]

?

[silent turret]

that fast mt top plate is lvl5 yeah?

[bold kernel]

do you see this

additional protection

a bullet has to go through 2 layers

to get to your face

[frigid frost]

you cant

wear a face shield

with nvgs

[silent turret]

also wears condors

[bold kernel]

same here

[frigid frost]

and he didnt shoot my face, he shot the top of my head

[bold kernel]

it has to go through a tier 4 and 5 layer

to get to ur forehead

i dont think aynthing is penning that in 1 round

maybe except for some

[tidal lagoon]

slaap plate is head eyes magnet

[bold kernel]

real

chops fs airframe on top

[silent turret]

Say that to my condors

[frigid frost]

also im pretty sure he was using either m61 or 993 so it didnt even matter

[bold kernel]

then why cry about the helmet if you know its not going to matter

i dont understand you

Yeah that will go straight through level 4.

[frigid frost]

thats literally what i am saying

[bold kernel]

???

[frigid frost]

helmets are useless at this point in the wipe for anything that isnt a scav

[bold kernel]

the game is supposed to be as realistic as possible

[bold kernel]

Basically.

irl theyre nothing better than what they are in tarkov

trust me

[silent turret]

@frigid frost all I'm going to say is run a raid naked, then run one with armor and let us know which one felt better

[bold kernel]

i dont run helmets myself

[tidal lagoon]

irl helmets are not for stopping bullets at all

[bold kernel]

^

[silent turret]

I like the pompom

[bold kernel]

just functionality

[tidal lagoon]

but if it was like that in tarkov helmets would in fact be useless

[bold kernel]

I’d have a better chance at catching the bullet with my hands.

[tidal lagoon]

i prefer to eat them

[silent turret]

helmets are for blunt force, but there are helmets that stopped them, but mostly grazing, or ricochet

[bold kernel]

I should try that.

[bold kernel]

^^^

[tidal lagoon]

yes, best while still hot

[bold kernel]

😋

helmets were never designed to directly stop high calliber/fmj or armor piercing rounds

[tidal lagoon]

altyn for example lvl 5 in tarkov loses to buckshot irl

[sharp socket]

Most helmets are mostly for shrapnel right? Only super heavy helmets are designed to stop shotgun and smaller calibers

[bold kernel]

theyre supposed to reduce the blunt force you receive from possible grenade schrapnel or ricochet bullets

[sharp socket]

They tested that, the buckshot didn’t go through

[bold kernel]

heavier helmets were made for breachers/etc to clear rooms as a first

[frigid frost]

ive done both

[bold kernel]

so dont expect them to save you every time

[tidal lagoon]

mb then seemed to remember buckshot got through

[frigid frost]

i distinctly remember a raid where i came in a korund and died instantly to flea banned ammo

[bold kernel]

altyn irl is very unreliable and old helmet

[sharp socket]

It stopped the .44 magnum, you would have a concussion but you would survive

[bold kernel]

hardly used by anyone now

[tidal lagoon]

yes

[bold kernel]

its like wearing a tank turret on ur head

[tidal lagoon]

pog in tarkov tho

[bold kernel]

if u get hit u blow ur eardrums

[bold kernel]

goes with zabralo

shrek fit

[frigid frost]

running naked and with armor makes a difference against scavs, against pmcs it feels more or less the same

[tidal lagoon]

ye

[bold kernel]

always reduces the chances of dying

[tidal lagoon]

armor saves me daily

[silent turret]

Skull fracture?

[bold kernel]

thats what theyre supposed to do

[tidal lagoon]

when i play that is

[sharp socket]

But yeah, rifle rounds penned it but hard to say because the helmet already had been shot with birdshot, buckshot, 9mm, .357 magnum and .44 magnum

[bold kernel]

u shouldnt be relying on armor of any kind

its outmanuevering

[frigid frost]

everyone has 60+ pen ammo, it do not matter

[bold kernel]

or outskilling people

[tidal lagoon]

no they dont

u r coping

[silent turret]

If it helps with scavs that increases your survival rate when you need to get through them.

[frigid frost]

i died to a guy in a bush that i shot like 6 times with the 5-7

with the best ammo

[bold kernel]

5-8

u answered urself

bro

57

[sharp socket]

There was a dent in the helmet, the padding would save you but you would get a concussion

[frigid frost]

no damage absorbed by armor

[bold kernel]

its not flesh ammo

[sharp socket]

And be probably knocked out

[bold kernel]

it just probably went straight through him

[tidal lagoon]

then u missed his thorax and head completely

[bold kernel]

if its made for penetrating armor

[silent turret]

I'd need to see some volunteer testing

[bold kernel]

its called overpen

[frigid frost]

i shot him center mass

[bold kernel]

where it does close to no damage

[sharp socket]

Check garand thumbs YT, they did a test shooting the altyn with a variety of calibers

[bold kernel]

did u see where he put like 20 modular suppresors on a m700

and it still shot somewhat accurately

[sharp socket]

No

[bold kernel]

lmao

gun was like 3 meters long

[silent turret]

Nah I trust you, I'm just saying until it's on a live person to see, it's sort of just theory. Unless that did, then I'll watch that video.

[sharp socket]

It obviously didn’t

[rugged obsidian]

Im stuck ingame between boxes, already dropped all my gear for the insurance. Should i disconnect or go dry on water/food?

[bold kernel]

they have a gel dummy

that should act as a human body

[silent turret]

Wasn't that demoranch and they blew up?

[bold kernel]

fairly accurate

[bold kernel]

oh yea

not gthumb

mb

i dont think they blew up though did they

only after he did a fullauto with an smg

but the marksman shot just fine

[silent turret]

Yeah I know about the gel, but even when they show hydroshock, it's not the same as it would be on a person

[bold kernel]

i mean

human trafficking

get a real dummy

[silent turret]

I'm pretty sure, and he got slapped in the face by something and his wife got mad at the end

[bold kernel]

lmao

[sharp socket]

It was just on a table propped up no dummy, the dent wouldn’t have killed you but fuck would it hurt

[bold kernel]

didnt he blow up the 50bmg

and almost died also

or was it someone else

[silent turret]

That was like a million people who did that lol

[bold kernel]

that was kentucky ballistic

s

[silent turret]

Like that old video where the 50bmg came right back at them

[bold kernel]

https://youtu.be/1449kJKxlMQ?t=256

[silent turret]

I'm pretty sure I saw demoranch post a hospital video too

[bold kernel]

hats off

[silent turret]

shoes on\

that video is proof of why my leather caps sell for 25k on flea

[bold kernel]

lmao

surprised hes not dead tbh

it punctured both his lungs and broke like 7 ribs i think

and he got to the hospital by himself too

[silent turret]

Saw a reddit post of someone's Chiappa exploding

not good

[bold kernel]

why would someone even own that

[silent turret]

Way too many accidents like that, pretty nerve racking

@bold kernel why would someone own one of the best art pieces in the world?

[bold kernel]

shit gun for me

[silent turret]

best revolver

[bold kernel]

after i get my license

definitely getting a glock

edc

[silent turret]

glock is generic, terrible trigger

[bold kernel]

nah

[silent turret]

i don't hate it, just think it's overhyped

[bold kernel]

glock is so iconic

though

[silent turret]

iconic means unique, but everyone in the world owns one ha

[bold kernel]

i dont tihnk i can get a conceal carry license

[tidal lagoon]

i dont

[bold kernel]

iconic as in

very known

[silent turret]

@tidal lagoon i'll sell you one for $10

[bold kernel]

some people call any pistol a glock

and u can put a switch on it

+10 years

[silent turret]

nah they say Blicky

[tidal lagoon]

special police will get me

[bold kernel]

thats just na

[silent turret]

@tidal lagoon just dress the part and make them think you're one of them

[tidal lagoon]

they dont really carry

[silent turret]

I promise you though, the glock trigger is terrible and aftermarket makes it better and more prone to not saving your life

also i messed up i thought i was in general chat

[tardy crescent]

There is a reason glocks are iconic and universally know as carry guns

[tidal lagoon]

i like the square look of it

[silent turret]

i like the old square blocky look, they're moving more towards angular though

[tidal lagoon]

idk how new glocks look, only 17,18,19

[soft kraken]

anyone down to help a noob?

[silent turret]

depends are you going to shoot me in the back of the head?

[bold kernel]

p much the same

[tardy crescent]

Its pretty much the same gun they released in the 80s

[silent turret]

@tidal lagoon all glocks look the same, just different sizes

[bold kernel]

yea

[tidal lagoon]

wish i could shoot guns here

[silent turret]

@tidal lagoon what country?

[tidal lagoon]

if I could buy a gun id be buying the DVL even tho it would be expensive af prolly

norway

[bold kernel]

this shit though

heard its insanely good

not faulty at all

[silent turret]

Kinda jealous i love that area

[tidal lagoon]

its great

[bold kernel]

theyre surprisingly cheap

[silent turret]

Not a fan of croatia taking over the name, but I have a couple XDs and my friends do too, swear by them

[bold kernel]

xd 45 is the well known one

right

[tidal lagoon]

really, well i guess then the main problem would be getting it from russia

[silent turret]

Grabbed an XD-E for the SA/DA

[bold kernel]

the fullauto

[silent turret]

I can't remember

[silent turret]

full auto? I don't think there's a full auto SA lol

[bold kernel]

always though it wasnt semi

it is actually

weird

[silent turret]

Which one?

[tidal lagoon]

ye i aint going to russia, not for a while at least

[silent turret]

The only machine pistol is glock and the russian one

I love living in the US and having importing russian stuff banned for the last like 50 years... and not being able to get the good good

[tardy crescent]

I knew a friend that was big on selling zenitco stuff in the states

Crazy how much people will pay for something "authentic"

[silent turret]

I don't remember how clamped down imports are now

But I'd probably pay a grip for authentic

[tardy crescent]

Last I talked with him he bought his stuff from some guy in Canada

[silent turret]

over the junk they allow

[tardy crescent]

and then brought it down here to sell

[safe elk]

Don’t forgor @tidal lagoon

[bold kernel]

watch someone say

[tidal lagoon]

shhh

[safe elk]

Too late for you now

[bold kernel]

can i get operator if i got 2 warnings

[ashen birch]

[tidal lagoon]

kwon not even put me on the list, its already gg for me

[frigid frost]

why do i have to kill so many scavs on customs

with specific gear

[sharp socket]

Because

[tidal lagoon]

what do u think

[frigid frost]

i HATE customs

if i go to dorms i get blown up by rats, if i go through the back i get accosted by sniper scav and cultists, if i go through gas station reshala is there

[tidal lagoon]

that is a skill issue, cultists only spawn with a very low chance at night and sniper scavs are easy to kill

they have few spawns easy to remember

[frigid frost]

ok thank you random player scav for killing me for no reason, enjoy the -.3 rep and the soap i spawned with

[frigid frost]

yeah unless you get rnged and headshot on like the second bullet

before you even figure out where they are

[tidal lagoon]

they have barely any spawns

u just need to learn them

if u run from cover to cover they dont hit

even if u run in the open they struggle

[frigid frost]

every time they shoot at you they get more accurate

ive been killed on the second bullet with a helmet on by sniper scavs multiple times

[tidal lagoon]

seems like u are cursed with bad luck

anyways if u learn the spawns theyre easy

[frigid frost]

on customs i dont have an issue really

on streets they have like 5 million spawns

[tidal lagoon]

hardly

[silent turret]

i promise you, i've had terrible aim on a sniper scav one time and so did he.

[tidal lagoon]

maybe 10 sniper scavs give or take

[frigid frost]

i mean yeah sometimes they miss 20 times and sometimes they hit you instantly

im still of the opinion that scavs shouldnt be able to shoot the unarmored parts of your head in the first couple of shots

[silent turret]

i was pretty sure they aim center mass these days

[frigid frost]

people dont even aim for the head irl unless theyre certain they can hit the shot

[silent turret]

i know back in the day they were aimbots

[tidal lagoon]

these are all the sniper scavs i know about on streets

[frigid frost]

theyre supposed to aim center mass but ive been shot on the second bullet in head eyes by scavs a couple times

especially at night when they shouldnt really be able to see?

[tidal lagoon]

sniper scavs can utilize NVGs

[frigid frost]

somehow the scavs can see better at night with their eyes than i can see with nvgs

no im just talking about regular scavs

[tidal lagoon]

oh yea

it be like that

I think it would be dumb to make them not be able to land a lucky headshot tho

they are easily dealt with anyways

[frigid frost]

idk it keeps you on your toes but realistically a civilian wouldnt be aiming for the head unless they snuck up on you

your natural instinct when shooting is to aim for the largest area

[tidal lagoon]

what if they are and just missed and hit ur head instead

[frigid frost]

true true

idk its an interesting mechanic but putting on a full kit just to get 1 tapped by a random scav, at night, like 40m away, is a bit cringe

[tidal lagoon]

the amount i get hit center mass instead of head is massive difference

I feel scavs should act as much as humans as possible, ofc they arent as of now

[frigid frost]

honestly its not even their aim, its their detection

[tidal lagoon]

mostly due to bad AI balanced out with broken abilities

[frigid frost]

they need to massively tone down their ability to detect you

the scavs can find me way faster than i can find them rn

theres also like almost no point sneaking up on scavs, and no point at all during the day

[tidal lagoon]

their ability to detect with line of sight is fine but their whole aiming at u through walls is dumb

[frigid frost]

you can be in a bush like 50m away and the second you find them they suddenly see you and start shooting

its weird they seem to just ignore certain covers

sometimes bushes are good for sniping scavs and sometimes they dont even care

[tidal lagoon]

they ignore all bushes

havent had 1 where they dont

[frigid frost]

also how do they know instantly where you are when you shoot them, it should take them like 5-10 seconds to figure out your position unless you keep firing

[tidal lagoon]

they detect you if you aim at them

ye problem is tho like if they use 5-10 seconds to find u its just too free

[frigid frost]

real people arent like "oh i got shot, i know in 0.1 seconds that the shooter is in the bush northwest 108 meters away"

[bold kernel]

is computer real people

[tidal lagoon]

they should do something maybe just shoot randoms shots towards the direction or something to give u a sense of urgency

[bold kernel]

tell me

[tidal lagoon]

should be

[bold kernel]

no

[frigid frost]

the farther away you are the harder it should be for them to figure out where they got shot from imo

[bold kernel]

artificial intelligence

[tidal lagoon]

yeeee

[frigid frost]

like for every 20m it takes them 1 more second

[tidal lagoon]

hooman stoopid

AI>human

[frigid frost]

also not even going to mention bosses/rogues, everyone knows theyre broken

the only realistic way to fight any of them is to just cheese them

[bold kernel]

right!

then do it

[tidal lagoon]

ye theyre easy tho so doesnt matter that much

[frigid frost]

ok back to nighttime customs, i love customs so much

[bold kernel]

hf

[frigid frost]

for "reserve" do you need to survive in the same quest

[tidal lagoon]

dont think so

[frigid frost]

mmm

i just need to do like 2 more jeager quests for a big weapons case but all of his quests are really cringe rn

[tidal lagoon]

what are his quests rn

[frigid frost]

kill shturman, kill reshala, find another labs card, nighttime customs bolt action kills, kill like 20 more scavs

and reserve

[tidal lagoon]

shturman and reshala easy

both high spawn rate too

bolt kills too and scavs

[bold kernel]

truth spoken!

[frigid frost]

theyre usually dead before i even get there, the bolt night kills have been difficult for some reason

i cant find any scavs and ive been running into a ton of players, is there a quest for night customs or something

besides this one

[bold kernel]

use the scav lure flare bro

[tidal lagoon]

not any in specific i dont think

scavs spawn pretty much everywhere tho idk how u dont find them

[frigid frost]

well i spawned with a labs card so i guess that solves that problem

[tidal lagoon]

yes

id say so

[frigid frost]

ok back to customs for real

[dawn geyser]

gz'

Whalcum to the pins

[wooden torrent]

anyone got the bloody door key and wanna help me do the task pls im eu?

[tidal lagoon]

Nice

[bold kernel]

accidentally killed another scav

w or L

w

friendly fire always tolerated

[ivory sable]

does anyone know if the DVL with suppressor barrel counts as suppressed weapon for punisher part 2

[tidal lagoon]

Basically a 99% chance it will

[bold kernel]

im broke asf

[languid owl]

-5 rep here

[bold kernel]

i got .59

[languid owl]

boring!

[bold kernel]

v

[bold kernel]

last wipe i had -20 something

💀

bro what

legit how

idk

didnt like scav meta

never will

but i somewhat see the benefits now

[spare robin]

Not if it was a player scav lol

[restive linden]

last wipe i was at -5 scav rep only bcs i just started and didnt know i wasnt supposed to kill scavs as a scav

and i realized it too late 💀

[silent turret]

Never was a thing when I played. Came back and popped a scav. Scavs are trying to kill me as a scav per normal, so kept killing them. Saw the end stat screen with -rep and 13+ scav kills, and it clicked that I made a mistake. Worked it back though. Don't even care when a pscav kills me, I'm just vibin.

On the bright side my kill streak is 13+

[lunar ibex]

what map

[viral prawn]

Woods or lighthouse

[dry flint]

Scav'd in after gulhar guards killed me(but i killed the boss) and got back to my own raid as a scav lol. sadly boss was looted

[lean terrace]

Level 8 here. Still learning about everything but would like to know the best map for most PVP. Need to get better at PVP in general.

[dry flint]

factory, lots of low levels/undergeared people there to do pvp with

so much so, that the game bans some pmc kill quests since players can just farm factory with it

[lean terrace]

Thanks. Been playing Interchange and have ran into prob 20 hackers the last week and a half and it’s getting annoying lol

[sweet ibex]

Pretty sure I just had a hacker on woods also. Luckily it’s only my 2nd or 3rd one so far.

[viral prawn]

Yeah, but having your own found in raid dogtag is a testament to your own skill

it also confuses people

[dry flint]

yep, shows that i suck. i died to a random guard sitting in a train car while i was healing

[viral prawn]

please, tarkov kills you when it feels like it

[dry flint]

killed boss, healed since i fucked up and decided to hide. the place i wanted to hide had a guard in it that hasnt moved once since i started the assault even tho he was the last one of the 6 guards

feelsbadman

atleast i know how to kill and assault gulkhar now

[viral prawn]

Reshala's gaurds last few times have only been standing on the staircases, i hate fighting them, they can shoot/see through the rails at impossible angles that you cant

[viral prawn]

Your probably un-aware of how much noise you make, if your reports don't generate system messages saying a player was banned, then you didn't report a hacker, if your new to the game and aren't using headsets, people will hear you long before you hear them

[west token]

Just tried to replay the game after buying it months later. Saying I can't uninstall or it cant be found

Any fixes

[viral prawn]

ask in #community-support

[lean terrace]

I think a 350 meter shot to me and my tm8 back to back instantly with a pistol is enough clarification of a hacker LOL, but I've realized how much noise I make. It's rough. How do I report people cause I have no clue lol

[viral prawn]

to the left of their name, on the first sreen when you see who shot you and what part you died getting shot from, little (!) point in red, click on it, right after going to black, should be the first screen

If there is no (!) point then it was an AI scav, as you can't report the computer, even though scavs hack like no-ones buisness

[lean terrace]

Thank you lol I got drop shotted by one yesterday and sniped from a good bit away as well by a scav lol

[viral prawn]

If you shoot them once and miss, or sometimes hit but don't kill

they'll go prone, pay attention to how the legs look

if they are splayed like an ice angle out wide, dead, if they are tight together, like laying like a log, alive

PMC's can also ROLL onto their side

while your prone

you can E, or hold i think it's SHIFT + E

to rollover

e Leans,

but shift + W or R, excuse me, lean left n right

[glossy bay]

I saw in a trailer somewhere that scavs will give gifts to 6.0 player scavs

is that true?

[lean terrace]

Appreciate the help!!

[silent turret]

IIRC i don't know if they removed it for the time being, but you need to go up to them and voice command them with a certain one. It's an RNG roll, if it fails you can't retry, so might have to go find another one and try. If you're hurt they'll probably give meds if they have it, if it's still implemented.

[lusty crow]

any tips on completing test drive? ive never had this quest before but it seems the best way to do it is just rat. i dont wanna rat and i only have limited M80.

[pearl palm]

im assuming part 1
and no, u do not need to rat at all, just use it normally

you should pick maps with longer sightlines, and maybe od a little camping if u want

shoreline/woods are great maps for it

lighthouse too

[lusty crow]

what ammo should i use? TCW doesnt get the job done but i dont have too much M80 so i cant afford to die. i cant buy M80 yet

[pearl palm]

wait till you can buy m80 (or even m62)

its an expensive gun to build properly, test drive is def a late game quest

[ivory sable]

why on earth does it say i have 0 rubles

[lusty crow]

blue button next to buy. autofills anything you need

including money.

otherwise you ahve to manually put the money into the slot to buy stuff

[ivory sable]

thanks lmao

[lusty crow]

np

[jaunty cliff]

im not gonna call you wrong, but interchange has a tendency to produce dying out of nowhere, especially from new players I see a lot of hackusations when in reality they might not be cheating.

[deft crow]

Lvl 44 here and didnt die to a obvious cheater yet this wipe, some death were sus for sure but some people are so fast on calling everyone a cheater

[jaunty cliff]

ive only seen like 2 this wipe, both on the same team on labs

[real hamlet]

I've only died to a couple who were obviously cheating but with how potent cheaters are this wipe If it's sus ill report them just in case
I've got like 4 bans this wipe

[velvet vault]

anyine have map of streets? newbie here ty

[deft crow]

check on escape from tarkov wiki, there are interactive maps

[viral prawn]

https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Map:Streets_of_Tarkov

[lean terrace]

Yeah, I know I'm not good and other players are really good at this but it is what it is. Interchange is sketchy af to play on always. Thanks for the input tho, still learning.

[pearl palm]

unfortunate map design

[spiral yacht]

anyone know what items I should be picking up as a beginner?

I've just been grabbing everything except for weapon parts, should I grab those too

[pearl palm]

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

you can use tarkov-market in raid to check prices
but as a general rule, the easiest way to tell if something is wroth money is by the color of the item and how valuable you think an item would be in this setting
for example, defibrilators would be fairly valuable, and they are
so are gold watches (rolers) etc
you can also tell by item color, purple items tend to be more valuable

if you want more indepth guides, check out airwingmarienes loot tier list/guides on youtube

[spiral yacht]

also on the topic of loot and stuff

is it worth upgrading my hideout

[pearl palm]

absolutely

the hideout becomes a great source of passive income later on

you can also craft quest items in it
and some ammos are craft only

[spiral yacht]

also do you know what I should do weapon wise? been trying to figure out what to run

and is reserves a good map to run as a beginner? my dad was telling me to play woods but I get sniped half the time there.

[pearl palm]

customs/woods are generally recommended for new players because thats where the quests make you go

[pearl palm]

what lvl are you?

[spiral yacht]

3

[pearl palm]

check gigabeef's channel for guides
ull have to go back a few months

[spiral yacht]

im assuming like june?

[pearl palm]

https://youtu.be/rvyrrteO9Qw?si=Q1vmtG49UG6QJujV

[spiral yacht]

thanks

[pearl palm]

he has LL2 weapons too, get to that once u get LL2

separate video*

[glossy tusk]

anyone know the least contested areas to travel through on customs i have like 4 tasks there that i wanna knock out

[weak mirage]

Think youd have to walk through The grass area on dorms side and pray nobody is camping

[glossy tusk]

do you know of any other areas that no one’s really at

[weak mirage]

I mean its either that, The Road or walking past construction

Theres not many choices

Its just a linear map

[glossy tusk]

do you have some tips on like how the map is meant to be played( i mean as in sneaking around everywhere or running and going crazy”

i feel like my playstyle is what gets me killed a lot

[weak mirage]

Well at This point of wipe i Think most people go there to pvp

There Will still be some tasking, But not many

[glossy tusk]

customs is mad chaotic ngl

[weak mirage]

Playstyle is just whatever works for you i Think

I guess The easiest Way to dodge people is avoid The places where you hear shots

Theres scav spawns all over The map, so you should be able to hear where they are

[bold kernel]

Listening for shots is very helpful.

[glossy tusk]

i appreciate the tips guys 👍

[bold kernel]

Sometimes I just let Scavs live so I can use then as my own alarms.

They’re free information that can be taken advantage of.

[timid igloo]

FINALLYYYY

now, which gun should i use

[glossy tusk]

baby mosin

[timid igloo]

YESS

[bold kernel]

I’ve been trying to get the introduction quest for jager in woods for so long any tips😭

[glossy tusk]

don’t rush it as soon as raid starts

take ur time and loot, as soon as you get it beeline to extract

that should give time for the chads to get to the pvp areas and you should be able to get the task and dip

[spare robin]

Which areas are pvp areas btw

[reef sequoia]

rought map of hotspots

oh didn't do ZB 14

[reef sequoia]

fixed it

it's a very rough map

there is a lot more

but main areas

some spots are worse at spawn

but mostly it's kinda like this

[lapis compass]

beginner looking for a kind soul to teach me how to play and show me the ropes / do's donts would rlly appreciate it

[reef sequoia]

we can tell you all you want

but in the end

it's just gonna be run factory

and learn to die

get DB with some buckshot

and while you got free healing

just die

learn to kill and move

have no fear

[weak mirage]

Run factory that is some terrible advice

Dont get stuck on factory man

[reef sequoia]

dude the amount of timmy's I play with that just start panicing the moment they hear a gunshot

[spiral yacht]

should I play night time or day time?

when Im just tryna sneak around for loot

[reef sequoia]

night time is quest progress
day time is pvp/game knowladge improvement

[weak mirage]

Factory wont help

[reef sequoia]

it does

if it don't then you don't run it enough

[reef sequoia]

you gotta learn to push ppl and hear people

and murder them

[white pond]

Go factory with saiga with 5 flaslights

All you need

[spiral yacht]

go reserves

thats where ive started

its easy to learn

in my personal opinion

[white pond]

Wym

All your first quests are in customs woods and factory

[spiral yacht]

oh hes doing quests?

thought we were talking about like overall

just playing

[white pond]

Idk whats going on

[spiral yacht]

also what quests are in factory

I mean

I guess the scav one

[white pond]

Toolbox

Toolset

[spiral yacht]

toolbox

oh

[white pond]

Shush

And stash the files

[spiral yacht]

should I sell ssd?

or keep?

[white pond]

And any pvp quests he is there to do likely

[spiral yacht]

kk

holy

[white pond]

Smoth

[spiral yacht]

good usd

is lion good

[proud thicket]

i cant extract?

help pelase :=)

[spiral yacht]

could have been timed.

[proud thicket]

well

none work

[spiral yacht]

I extracted with the lion

who do I sell to

[proud thicket]

tysm man

i forgot that

[spiral yacht]

im guessing peacekeeper?

[hardy fox]

Flea but to Thera if you can’t or barter it for docs case

[spiral yacht]

how do I barter?

im sorry

im stupid

[proud thicket]

appriciate that, killed a good kit with some quest items so were al il stressed xD

[random sleet]

is it normal to be still struggling w map knowledge within the first week

[hardy fox]

Haha yeah don’t woods you will get lost

[graceful ocean]

is there a list of items you need and should keep early game

also when did wipe happen

[lapis compass]

go threw the traders and check out some high tier gear and there trade req

[lapis compass]

next wipe is dec

[graceful ocean]

im talking about like quest items

[random sleet]

gotta kill scavs on there its super annoying sometimes lol

[lusty crow]

a massive list of quest items

[hardy fox]

Next wipe is either early December when arena beta comes out or towards new year

On the stream it said beta early December for arena

That’s true

[glossy bay]

Thanks

[fallow lance]

mapgenie is useful to help learn the maps

[weak mirage]

If it wipes The 26th Ill do a 2 week Kappa 😂

[tidal lagoon]

same af

[frosty musk]

Absolutely lol

It's normal to need years before you feel truly comfortable with the game

[lusty crow]

Ive been playing the game about a year now and i only feel comfortable on like 3 maps

[dry flint]

Im comfortable with most map layouts, but oblivious to loot spots aside from customs and interchange

i just go where i hear gunfire

[lusty crow]

Wish I had the courage to run towards the gunfire xD

[tidal lagoon]

really just depends on how much u play

[dry flint]

I only do it if i havent looted stuff yet, or loot i got hasnt reached atleast 100k profit. If its less, then i go YOLO

[spark sonnet]

im new to the game been playing 2 weeks i done a scav and found a M1A with a scope called voodoo is that a good gun has M80 ammo also ?

[lusty crow]

M80 is Decent ammo for its calibre the gun is alright imo and vudu's are quite popular, good and expensive.

[spark sonnet]

should i keep or sell ?

[tidal lagoon]

m80 is more than decent

[spark sonnet]

ive been playing quite agressive recently used to be passive but my stack play aggro so i do now just swing everyone lol

that gun alright for cqc aswell or just to roach an play from a distance ?

[dry flint]

depends, what does the m1a look like? if its black, its 50/50 if you want to sell. but if its FDE(brown), then its the best m1a body variant

[spark sonnet]

yeah black bro

[dry flint]

its ok with cqc if you know how to hipfire/pointfire

[spark sonnet]

yeah im decent with hipfire an stuff now

[tulip vine]

would this tremor effect count towards finishing jaeger's quest to kill pmcs with headshots while hand is tremoring

[dry flint]

can you send a SS of it, there are 3 black bodies for m1a and the stock one is mediocre

[tidal lagoon]

yes

[dry flint]

keep it, its ok. thats the 2nd best body for m1a

[tidal lagoon]

better would be SJ9 it gives tremor after like 6 sec

[dry flint]

did you kill glukhar for it lol

[spark sonnet]

yeah lol his guards were dead found a dead pmc also so i guess he died to him lol

[dry flint]

yep, sounds bout right and what happened to me earlier lol

[tulip vine]

so this means it only tremors for 40 sec after a huge ass 200 sec delay? thats azz

[spark sonnet]

idk how i killed him tbh i had supressed baby mosin lol

[dry flint]

his guards are a pain

[tidal lagoon]

yes

[spark sonnet]

yeah there nuts

[tidal lagoon]

tremor isnt exactly something u normally want

[dry flint]

if you have gym unlocked in hideout. you can just break your arm and not fix it. itll give you tremor effect shortly after raid start. just dont fix the fracture

[dry flint]

you need it for jaeger quest

annoying af to get since you need to get headshot kills with it

[spark sonnet]

ive been using the ak u can buy from prap with the suppressor its cheap i use it to try get better at fragging

[tidal lagoon]

yes, therefore normally

[tulip vine]

which map has the most scavs per square inch?

[dry flint]

you mean the short AK-74u? thats actually a good AK, but could still use a few adjustments

[dry flint]

factory and customs should be tied

[tulip vine]

alike with any of the quests (excluding factory)

[tidal lagoon]

UB one of best if not best 545

[weak mirage]

Oh my

Its a aku enjoyer

Mods get him

[spark sonnet]

i just chucked enough to put a red dot on it haha its dog tbh but ive got a good few guns fragging with it i got a mutant yesterday and a juiced m4

[spark sonnet]

haha i hate the gun but cus im new im just tryna find a good play style lmao

[tidal lagoon]

u need to full mod it, still caliber itself is bad

[dry flint]

^

[weak mirage]

74n if 545

[spark sonnet]

yeah i just dont have flea or anything or the gun smith thing so its harder for me

[dry flint]

just change the handguard and add a forward grip, and youll be golden. get the rubber butpad for stock as well

[tidal lagoon]

then get wafflemaker suppressor 😄

[spark sonnet]

can i get these from traders ?

[dry flint]

yes, but you need to do some quests to unlock them and get trader levels

honestly, the one you have right now is fine, its just needs a laser and a grip, and itll perform better

[soft tapir]

I just switched from MP9 to MP9-N

I suppose the regular MP9 would be viable in more open maps

tbh i cant find a good use for the MP9 considering MP9-N is like 20k rubles on the flea

at least in my region and at the time of purchasing it

[dry flint]

its just the awkward middle child of the 9x19 caliber. it gets the job done if you have it, but something else does it better.

[spark sonnet]

is it true when u have high scav rep bosses dont shoot u as a scav ?

[safe elk]

Yes. At 6 scav rep bosses are friendly towards you

[spark sonnet]

friend told me that didnt no if it was true thats nuts lol

[dry flint]

its a hassle to get, but its worth grinding since you also unlock max trader with fence and he can sell gear that you might not be able to get with low level traders

its expensive, but its there

[tulip vine]

can anyone recommend a lowkey loot run spot

[dry flint]

you got access to flea/night vision? if so, then go woods night. woods day is fine, but engagements can happen

just go to usec camp>sawmill> attachments shack, then extract if you have outskirts extract. if you have the other side, then you can hit up med camp as well

[open glade]

Man you are sleeping on the best part of woods

village > sunken village > scav hill > scav bunker

easily the best loot run I have ever done that requires 0 keys

[south cedar]

How much can sji2 sell for

[open glade]

sji2?

[south cedar]

suringe

[open glade]

ohh

I have seen it like once in my entire time playing

I'll check now

[south cedar]

ok tnx

[open glade]

55 - 60k

[south cedar]

like to flee

or

[open glade]

yeah flea

to therapist it should be around the lowest

like 50k

maybe less

[dry flint]

I honestly dont get much loot from those. aside from maybe food and barter items and some ammo. the ones i mentioned are a bit risky, but can spawn expensive weapon parts and have chances to spawn a keycard in sawmill

[open glade]

nahh man idk what kind of villages you're thinking about but it is defintely not the same ones as me hahaha

[dry flint]

the one near bridge extract?

[open glade]

check mapgenie, there's like 5 moonshine spawns

and tons of btc and other valuables

[open glade]

that and the sunken

[dry flint]

hmm i might consider trying those again. i just keep getting mediocre barter items most of the time

[open glade]

you probably just don't know where to look

alot of the spots are quite obscure

[tardy siren]

did anyone manage to make a razer synapse thingy to hold breath and aim at the same time? + be able to right click ?

[open glade]

I recommend opening mapgenie and hiding everything other than valuables spawns and duffel bags

you'll find tons of stuff

[tidal lagoon]

yes in the game settings there is a "intermediate menu" option

[prisma jackal]

anyone wanna play later and maybe help me get better at pvp

[low merlin]

the fastest way to improve in pure pvp (and assuming you already understand movement, spawns and the maps) is, 1. recording your game play and re-watch your fights, 2. spam Factory, 3. use aim training outside of tarkov.

[bold kernel]

Fastest way will be to play Arena. Once it releases.

I can’t wait.

[sharp socket]

I can’t but I can provide some basic pvp advice with two core principles, peekers advantage and right hand rule

Peekers advantage is in reference that due to desync with a server if you swing a corner you will be able to see an opponent before they can see you because you literally won’t be on their screen

Right hand rule is the fact that all tarkov characters are right handed meaning a right hand angle will always be more powerful as you only expose your right arm and a tiny bit of your head whereas if you left hand peek you expose your whole left arm, left leg, head and part of your thorax making you much more susceptible to damage

[bold kernel]

This is true information.

[potent crater]

My biggest tip to win fights without being good

Is dont do what they think you will

And abuse random angles

Like in games like csgo there is only so many playable spots

But if you find a good spot in a random area and you know theres people jusg use it

Like I love hearing people snipe and just getting in a building and into a random window

Or holding random stairs when i hear people

[bronze inlet]

crouching and not moving reduce recoil. hip fire is WAY less recoil at close range, and you can practice it. lasers actually reduce your hip fire recoil.

[prisma jackal]

yeah i already know most of these things, the problem for me is when i hear steps near me i start to freeze up and dont know if i should push

or wait

or make no noise

[potent crater]

Ok so

[bold kernel]

usually i sit still and wait for them to search something or for them to walk infront of me

gigarat tactics

[potent crater]

I would say your instict should be to analyze quickly with what your gun is, right hand vs left hand, and how much time you have to either push it / surprise or run away

[bold kernel]

tbf unless you have really good reaction speeds you should always hold corners ect

lvnmark plays that way

[potent crater]

If you have right hand, they are clueless and you have ~10 seconds just wait for an opportunity to kill, if you are out of meds, low on ammo, heavy, run away

If you have left hand but a good weapon, ammo, kit, meds just reposition

[prisma jackal]

once im engaged in a firefight im not nervouse anymore, i guess its just the feeling of not knowing where the enemy is and such

so that im afraid to move to the next room or something like that cause im afraid he holds that angle already but thats probably my inexperience

[bold kernel]

Youll learn parts from map knowledge but the audio is fucked alot of the time lmao

[prisma jackal]

id say thats what im struggeling the most, moveing around the map when i dont know where enemys are yet

[potent crater]

Run + middle mouse button by a door and chexk

And if you have to keep doing that mix in jumps

[prisma jackal]

ye today i learned in a video that sprinting past someone looks much faster for then than u

• peekers advantage

[covert wigeon]

what are some good guns from level 1 traders?

[solemn raptor]

I really liked the AKS-74UB from Prapor after doing his first quest iirc

Paired with PS ammo from... someone (locked by a quest)

OP-SKS from jeager is also nice if you can pick up some PS ammo from fence. Slap a PSO scope or whatever sight of your choice on it :)

[bold kernel]

AKS-74U with BT ammo is sexy.

[orchid isle]

BS sexiest ammo

[bold kernel]

If only I could get it reliably.

[sharp socket]

Thunder you can get 90 per prapor restock

[bold kernel]

WHAT?!

I CAN BUY BS?

[sharp socket]

Yes

[bold kernel]

How do I learn this power?

[sharp socket]

It’s a barter at prapor 3 for 2 hot rods and 2 Marlboros for a 30 round ammo packet for 5.45 BS

With 3 per restock

[bold kernel]

Oh I know that.

I was thinking like straight roubles.

[sharp socket]

So 6 hot rods and 6 Marlboros for 90 5.45 BS

No

That isn’t that bad though

[bold kernel]

And the dry fuel barter.

Real.

[safe elk]

All?

Your preference does not inherently make all barters bad

[orchid isle]

lowkey expensive

as much as i love the ammo

id rather just run igonik

[hidden jolt]

then no 1 shot headshots

[safe elk]

Don’t worry

BS won’t 1 shot headshot anyway so it’s fine

I still have my funny clip of swinging a guy by 11sr and bouncing like 5-6 5.45 BS off my helmet and icing him

[sharp socket]

I want to enjoy 5.45 but the flesh damage on basically any round that can pen higher than class 3 is just really not great

[lunar ibex]

just use leg meta

[shrewd fog]

For tagged and cursed, you cant have body armor or a bag right? Just a pistol?

[cloud mesa]

level 2 tryna you get back into tark, lmk if you wanna run some raids

[dawn pumice]

which vector is better .45 or 9x19

[shrewd fog]

@dawn pumice if you have 45AP to blow thats the route i would go

9x19 is dogshit in my opinion, but you do get 50 rounders with 9mm

[leaden remnant]

I like going pew pew into someone's kneecaps

[chrome prairie]

Anyone got a meta gun you can make without having flea?

[jagged laurel]

Mosin

[chrome prairie]

just plain mosin?

[jagged laurel]

Yea

[chrome prairie]

That would mean i would need to be able to hit and i dont think i can 😂

[bold kernel]

lol

i used to use an adar

that was my goto idk why but i enjoyed it

only issue is the gas block

[solemn raptor]

Meta is a bit of a strectch here bud, you're never going to get anything meta without flea... What sort of budget are you in?

[chrome prairie]

I mean i got like 2.8Mil rn and a couple good guns but anytime i use em i get fucked right off spawn by a EOD Player

[tidal lagoon]

what traders u have

[chrome prairie]

All

LL1 only tho

[tidal lagoon]

what lvl

[chrome prairie]

14

So almost got flea

[tidal lagoon]

get PK 2

then u can make a m4 or adar and use m856a1

[chrome prairie]

What trader?

[tidal lagoon]

peacekeeper

[chrome prairie]

Ohhh yea alright

[cloud mesa]

in a scav on streets, need help to get out

[tidal lagoon]

send screenshot of where u r

[solemn raptor]

Here you go

[tidal lagoon]

no way u puttin that scope on the UB

[main violet]

whats a fast way to get from 14 to 15

my dailies are shit

or even just effective way

[tidal lagoon]

dont do dailies

do quests

[main violet]

well the quests are hard and ion know how to navigate

[tidal lagoon]

show quests

[main violet]

big ish ones

[tidal lagoon]

50% of these are super easy

[main violet]

i tried dorms 4x in a row and died all before even seeing dorms

the woods ones i legit cant find iskras to save my life

and i havent even tried the other customs one bc it looks hell

[tidal lagoon]

its pretty easy u just loot some dead scav body that has a 100% spawnrate key and go to a place and unlock it and grab the item

[main violet]

yeah the quest is easy but like

navigating customs is hard for me

[tidal lagoon]

I guess you could try night raids but idk how effective it will be at this point

[main violet]

especially since people just shit on me

[tidal lagoon]

do u know the map

[main violet]

barely

i know how to get there from the spawn right next to dorms

but thats it

[tidal lagoon]

ok well u could try to do the task in offline mode first with or without scavs and then try to do it in online

idk how else to help you really, like these quests are just try until u complete it kinda there isnt anything special to them theyre fairly straight forward

you can too

[main violet]

yeah idk i just suck at map navigation ngl

i have picked up most of the other maps fine but for some reason customs is hard for me

[glad swan]

can anyone teach me and my friend to play tarkov?

[tidal lagoon]

customs is one of the easiest to learn normally

[main violet]

ironic

[tidal lagoon]

do u have 2nd monitor

[main violet]

i learned woods in like 10 raids

yes

i use map genie

[glad swan]

i use tarkov dev

[tidal lagoon]

ok nice

[glad swan]

it has a 3d version of the maps

[tidal lagoon]

i think the wiki maps are the best

but they all do the same job really

[glad swan]

i find it easier to locate where i am on a 3d one cuz i can see the surroundings on the amp
