[orchid isle]

Ahh ok

[bold kernel]

As of now, there would be too much background noise from my little brother, and the surround sound speaker system in my basement. Sometimes I can’t even hear my own games over them. 💀

Tryna hear players in Tarkov and I literally can’t so I just need to suck it up and hope he’s running at me so I can maybe hear him.

[sharp socket]

I would play with you thunder as a carry if I could get kapper

[orchid isle]

Only solo is allowed

[sharp socket]

Aw

[bold kernel]

I still can’t stream even if we could duo.

[sharp socket]

Nuts

[orchid isle]

I feel like it’s gonna be cheetos infested maybe

[bold kernel]

Cheetos.

[orchid isle]

There’s some Chinese streamers who I know that cheat and haven’t been banned

With like over 100k followers

[bold kernel]

How do they even manage that.

[orchid isle]

Idk

[bold kernel]

Like they have to be really subtle to stream and cheat.

[orchid isle]

yea idk

suprised their group didnt get shut down yet

[drifting jolt]

If anyone would like a solid Scav loot route on Streets, PM me, I got a paragraph to copy+paste, cause it's too big to put here.

or even on your PMC!

[bold kernel]

Why not? Hit it me with it.

[drifting jolt]

you didnt pm me...

[bold kernel]

My fault original gangster.

[drifting jolt]

aye

[frigid finch]

finally got the stupid converter!

[bold kernel]

Ayy, nice!

[frigid finch]

funny thing was, only reason i went for it was because i accidentally bought 25k euros instead of dollars...

[bold kernel]

💀💀💀

Looks like it turned out well in the end anyway.

2 times more efficient fuel.

[frigid finch]

had to die to a lot of cheaters on labs to get it lol

[bold kernel]

I can only imagine lmao.

[frigid finch]

i got 7 gpus before i found a single current converter...was dumb...always just shoved those up my ass at least lol

[tulip kettle]

when are prices on the flea highest for barter items?

i notice they usually go up at night

is it best to sell at those times?

[drifting jolt]

it's global flea market

it's not per server

so it really doesnt matter mostly

just sell shit

[tulip kettle]

i just noticed tape was like 10k about 30 minutes ago but now its 20k

is it just random or what

[chrome hamlet]

big ticket items tend to go up on weekends when everyone is on like GPU's and such

[drifting jolt]

some items fluctuate a lot

[tulip kettle]

i just sold bc it went up

[drifting jolt]

but if youre taking time to analyze graphs youre not raiding

and therefore not making the most you could

dont worry abotu what somethings worth at what times

just sell the shit, and go get more shit to sell

[tulip kettle]

i just sell everything in bulk after 1 day of looting

if the prices are higher than usual

[drifting jolt]

I have 3 junkboxes and basically sell anything I have more than 3 of

[plain elbow]

Does anyone have tips for punisher part 5?

[dusk breach]

Do it on Factory

[hidden jolt]

Check scavs for the pistol and ak

[crimson geyser]

when is downtime?

[bold kernel]

does anyone know the chance of sanitar spawning at night ?

[tulip kettle]

[stoic patio]

[tulip kettle]

[obsidian spoke]

[naive mulch]

[hearty lava]

wow

[wispy stratus]

sedwen?

[hearty lava]

:)

[wispy stratus]

maybe you should refund

[hearty lava]

no

why

[prime comet]

you're better off getting blood from a stone than trying to refund tarkov

[wispy stratus]

huge learning curve plus there are chads out there with snb and 995

[prime comet]

unless you purchased it through paypal, best of luck to you

[hearty lava]

snd and 995?

what

[prime comet]

you'll be fine, just come back in 4 hours or so and start learning

[hearty lava]

ok

[wispy stratus]

good ammo. you will learn.

ask geller, he knows a lot

[hearty lava]

i feel like im gonna be playing tarkov in class

[prime comet]

i know nothing

[hearty lava]

or just skip class

[prime comet]

dont ask me

[wispy stratus]

just dont neglect the cat!

[prime comet]

what is tarkov

[obsidian spoke]

a warning tho, this game will make you hate yourself but its very fun when you get that lucky headshot or find something rare

[hearty lava]

i would never

i love my cat

[wispy stratus]

its a role playing game for goats

[hearty lava]

i already hate myself

[wispy stratus]

i knew i liked u. CATS are the best

[hearty lava]

it can't get any worse right

[hearty lava]

fr

[obsidian spoke]

good then just scav raid till you learn a map, i sugest woods as the first map u learn since all early quests are there

[wispy stratus]

if my cat was the size of a meduim dog, she would kill me in my sleep

[hearty lava]

same

[wispy stratus]

cats are supreme hunters, and catrs would never work for the police!

[hearty lava]

yup

[obsidian spoke]

and most importantly dont say the loots your, your just borrowing it till someone kills you

[hearty lava]

i can agree

[wispy stratus]

have u ever seen a drug sniffing cat?

[hearty lava]

no

dogs are traitors

they help the cops

[wispy stratus]

they are just dumb and submissive, it is not their fault

[hearty lava]

yeah

cats are supreme leaders

smart and not submissive

[wispy stratus]

think of chads as dogs and rats as cats

[prime comet]

Same as any kit

It’s not yours, it’s just your turn to use it

[humble otter]

maybe you should type (xTG) instead of (st)

[wispy stratus]

cats own us, we work for them

[hearty lava]

usec or bear

also whats the diffrence

[wispy stratus]

usec

easier time at lighthouse.

[humble otter]

russian loadout or american loadout

[hearty lava]

ok

[wispy stratus]

so u like AK 47 or m4a1?

[obsidian spoke]

exactly, that thought process is how i got over my gear fear, plus you can always just find the stuff again

[hearty lava]

austyer

[wispy stratus]

[hearty lava]

yes mate

[wispy stratus]

i almost went to live there

[hearty lava]

and

big animals

and fucking crocs

[prime comet]

It’s all a lie

[hearty lava]

and some other things

[wispy stratus]

the beaches are too nice and the weather is to good. i chose canada

[lime fiber]

and youth knife epidemic

[wispy stratus]

that is not a knife

[hearty lava]

australia is real

[prime comet]

Australians just don’t want you knowing how nice it is over there so they made up massive spiders/snakes to stop people coming over

[hearty lava]

yup

its true

[wispy stratus]

what do the army use? what rifle?

[hearty lava]

its great here

like paradise

[hearty lava]

f88 styer

[wispy stratus]

[hearty lava]

nah

melb

[wispy stratus]

i have cousins there

[humble otter]

does it really matter? xD you choose ak or m4... easy pick

[hearty lava]

no

i choose austyer

[wispy stratus]

they have an AUG in the game

[hearty lava]

i choose the third option

[hearty lava]

i must get it

[humble otter]

do it then...

[hearty lava]

must find

[prime comet]

I think bear is better

Bear drip >

[wispy stratus]

so choose usec

[hearty lava]

ok

[wispy stratus]

geller is ruaaian so he is bias towards bear

[hearty lava]

ok

australia best country

its paradise

[wispy stratus]

babushka russia

[lime fiber]

bear drip is better

[wispy stratus]

bear smere

[hearty lava]

australia paradise eveything is just scam so people don't find out how good it is here

[prime comet]

Defintely not Russian

[wispy stratus]

are u irish?

[prime comet]

https://tenor.com/view/no-donkeys-shrek-gif-16041065

[obsidian spoke]

nah u def british

[wispy stratus]

are u norwegian

like the wood

[hearty lava]

im china

get shit on

[prime comet]

Grazz somehow knew

Immediately

[hearty lava]

im spreading chinese propaganda

[prime comet]

It takes a Brit to spot another

[wispy stratus]

geller do u like the band Ghost?

[prime comet]

They’re alright, not my go to but they’re decent enough

[hearty lava]

you like sabaton

geller

[prime comet]

Few good songs, again not my go to

[wispy stratus]

look u p granpa_poopie that is my tag this wipe. I will run with you, teach you the ropes

[obsidian spoke]

im MERICAN , i can spot a tea drinker anywhere

[prime comet]

If I listen to anything it’s normally electric callboy or avenged sevenfold

[hearty lava]

ok i just bought it so i haven't downloaded it or anything tho

[wispy stratus]

are u a trump disciple?

[split pulsar]

does it actually take 4hrs for patch like it says?

[wispy stratus]

7am

[prime comet]

Yes, and probably a bit longer

[prime comet]

We’re not that common here either

[hearty lava]

idk how to download it

[obsidian spoke]

i dont care who my president is aslong as i keep my second amendment right

[hearty lava]

i just bought gam

[lime fiber]

sometimes only 2-3 hrs but could be more than 4

[wispy stratus]

America needs more guns for sure!

its a dangerous place. People get shot everyday

[split pulsar]

alright

[prime comet]

If they do it should be the old fashioned style

[obsidian spoke]

we need a better system of getting guns bc rn its a lil to lossey gooesy

[prime comet]

You’re allowed to keep them if they’re muskets and blunderbuss and flintlocks

[wispy stratus]

wow , i agree.

[prime comet]

Like the forefathers intended

Founding fathers sorry

[hearty lava]

how far apart are the wipes

[obsidian spoke]

i say they need to make it impossible tp get one without doing a gun safty course first

[wispy stratus]

it makes sense , i agree.

[obsidian spoke]

that way no idiots get one

[wispy stratus]

too many dummies too many easy to get guns

[obsidian spoke]

yep

[wispy stratus]

6 monts avg

69r is on fire

last wipe felt like enternity

if a hotel with infinite rooms is full, can you still get a room?

sometimes I'm alone. sometines i am not. sometimes I am alone....Hello?

[restive linden]

next wipe should be in 2 months

[hearty lava]

ok

[lime fiber]

yeah i think it's already confirmed to be with arena

[hearty lava]

will tarkov die with the release of arena?

because like if i tis then i just wasted my savings

[lime fiber]

no way

[hearty lava]

ok

[lime fiber]

they're too different from eachother

[hearty lava]

alr

how fucking long does it take to actually get tarkov like i still haven't gotten the beta testing invatation

[lime fiber]

you mean ets?

[tacit cosmos]

Does anyone know if there is a cheaper legit method to upgrade to EOD?

[hearty lava]

i think

i just got tarkov off the website

[lime fiber]

once you buy it you can just login on launcher and download it

[hearty lava]

how

what

[raven quarry]

log into website then download launcher

[hearty lava]

ok

thanks

[tacit cosmos]

I heard some people say they use a russian VPN and buy it from the russian website because its cheaper

But idk

[lime fiber]

https://www.escapefromtarkov.com/profile then hit install

[raven quarry]

https://www.escapefromtarkov.com/support/knowledge/425

[hearty lava]

thank you

[lime fiber]

it was just on sale recently will probably go on sale again around xmas wipe

[tacit cosmos]

Wait, for real? How many % off?

[lime fiber]

25%

https://www.escapefromtarkov.com/news/id/268?lang=en

[humble otter]

it on sale for like 4-5 times a year

[tacit cosmos]

Oh thanks for telling me. I should upgrade to EOD later then

[humble otter]

don't wait too long though

[lime fiber]

that sale was only for 2 days just a bday thing

[humble otter]

they're removing EOD when arena releases

[hearty lava]

why

[humble otter]

because eod includes arena

[bold kernel]

Like we wont get bonuses??

[humble otter]

like from their store

[bold kernel]

Or new comers cant buy it

ahh okay

[lime fiber]

this

[bold kernel]

good good

[humble otter]

it's still gonna be in the game

[tacit cosmos]

So what would you recommend I do? Currently have standard edition

[lime fiber]

they will probably replace eod with some other version which gives max stash lvl

[humble otter]

probably

[lime fiber]

i can't see them only selling standard

[humble otter]

idk... i really don't cuz they said arena will release this year but... the next discount is probably not gonna be til january... I'm not saying for sure though so it's (your call only)

[tacit cosmos]

Maybe I will just wait until the next sale comes on. I just dont want to miss out on all the DLC's that will come later

[bold kernel]

EOD

[humble otter]

but knowing bsg they might release arena early next year because it's not ready

[tacit cosmos]

I heard they want to release it december I think

[humble otter]

i hope so

[lime fiber]

I thought eod wasn't gonna be removed until the game goes into full release 1.0

[tacit cosmos]

I figure I will just wait till christmas sale. Still more time than whne the EOD will run out

On the website it says 65 days so that covers Christmas

[lime fiber]

oh yeah ur right, just keep an eye on that and hopefully they do one final sale before it's over

[tacit cosmos]

Exactly 🙂

[hidden crow]

Y is eod gonna be gone?

[bold kernel]

It includes Arena

[dry flint]

any ETA on when game is gonna be back?

[proud thicket]

about 3 hours

[bold kernel]

2 more hrs

at least

[lunar ibex]

goop

[restive linden]

is patch finished

[thick cape]

yes

[proud thicket]

is red keycard good?

[safe elk]

To sell, yes
To open, no

[bold kernel]

to keep ofcourse

[lucid ember]

is there a way to reload my bullets in the mosin without having to sit in the inventory screen?

[lucid ember]

Thank you

[weak mirage]

Do you Think its realistic to get two stabs off on tagilla before dying? 😂

[dawn geyser]

lol Paul McSharpny

[civic kiln]

why cant i scav interchange

[bold kernel]

cause ur not worthy

[orchid isle]

a quick way to reload is switch to another gun or ur melle and drag the ammo in ur inv to ur gun

[civic kiln]

crazy

and it took my scav

fucking nikiti im gonna peg him

[bold kernel]

or heal

[civic kiln]

how can i choose wha tto heal

[orchid isle]

press health and drag

[civic kiln]

no i mean from my quick slot

[dawn geyser]

Hold the quickbar

If you have Salewa on 5, hold 5

Scroll wheel

[weak mirage]

You need to bind it differently

As far as i recall

[tidal lagoon]

it has to be bound to release

[lusty mesa]

Question, if i exit a insurance claim can i go back to it?

[orchid isle]

yes

[lusty mesa]

@orchid isle thanks homie appreciate it I was always scared to leave a claim cause i thought itd go away lol appreciate it

[clever knoll]

It will stay there until claimed or until it expires

There's always a popup before you close a window that you can't return to

Like at the end of a scav raid

[civic kiln]

how

[orchid isle]

yessa

[weak mirage]

Release

[civic kiln]

where

[weak mirage]

So when you go to keybinds

You Can bind The diffent ones

And furthest right is The action you want The key to be bound as

Can be press, contenious or release

[stark onyx]

How do I unjam my weapon?

[tidal lagoon]

examine it then check chamber, not sure what default for examine is but chamber is shift t im pretty sure

[stark onyx]

ah thanks

[calm moth]

am i doing something wrong or is it bugged? the qeust friend from the west part 1 i cant turn in any of the dogtags and i killed a guy last raid picked up his dogtag put it in my stash and still cant turn it in

[clever knoll]

Fixing a jam is kind of a "trial by fire" for most ppl. You don't know how to do it until you really need it.

[clever knoll]

Is it the correct faction?

[hardy fox]

Is it correct faction and is FIR

[calm moth]

it is FIR but i think it should be only usec now that im looking at it

for some reason when i read usec pmc i was thinking about usec and bear. i am stupid

[prisma socket]

What can you find in pumpkin with sweets that makes them go for 350k?

[hardy fox]

Just food is what I’ve seen so far

[prisma socket]

Yeah thats what i saw too, just seems like its not worht that price lol

[clever knoll]

I guess a bunch of food is worth a lot on the flea

And it can contain stuff like sugar

[hardy fox]

Food on flea is cheap af most expensive one are sugar alyonka and milk rest are much cheaper so f knows

[clever knoll]

Idk I haven't actually played myself yet since the update

So idk what it can contain, I just saw a screenshot of a guy who opened one

[hardy fox]

Yeah same I’m still at work for a few more hrs

They have a lot of drop so aim above what you shooting at

[tidal lagoon]

depends on the slug

[bold kernel]

Accuracy also depends on what slug specifically.

[tidal lagoon]

rip is pretty accurate

u can just google anything and u will find stats on the tarkov wiki

can always test it on scavs in offline or shooting range

[soft tapir]

bro what the fuck tagilla one tapped me to the thorax

i mean it was an offline raid but still

[dry flint]

thats normal for bosses. i heard theres a bug where the ai shoots multiple bullets at once. so like more bullet, per bullet

[tidal lagoon]

yes

not necessarily

[soft tapir]

yeah i know but i didnt know tagilla one tapped

[tidal lagoon]

happens if u have bleeds, but ye not often

but here and there all be running around with a blacked head or thorax

[rustic void]

just got this from scav case
wtf is this?

[soft tapir]

a really good thing

tips for shoreline?

[bold kernel]

Sit in a bush for 30 minutes to wait out players. 🧠

[bold kernel]

I forgot what that does.

[dry flint]

just a version of the intel. it sells for more and you need it for a late quest

[tidal lagoon]

lightkeeper tasks and barters

nothing really special

[bold kernel]

600K dayum.

Closer to 700K actually.

[bold kernel]

worth lots

[sharp socket]

Worth big moners but is funnily enough for one end game barter and one end game task

[soft tapir]

do yall have any tips for shoreline? i keep being killed from bushes

[dawn geyser]

Path you take matters a lot

Where do you die from mostly?

[soft tapir]

the long stretch of road/beach

id be running along the beach then id get beamed from the bushes along the road

[shadow yew]

why did 3 million roubles just dissaper out of my stash after i got back on

[potent crater]

Any submissive new players wanna get some PvP tips?

[potent crater]

Mb

[ancient thorn]

is ps12a usable ? on ash12

[potent crater]

I got some good tips but only if you are submissive

[shadow yew]

?

[potent crater]

Not really

The price to value ratio is bad

[restive linden]

what affects how fast your arm stamina drains?

[potent crater]

Ergo, weapon weight, and like strength or stam

99% ergo tho

[restive linden]

wtf

i have 46 ergo

on a tx-15 i built

and my arm stamina dries out super fast lol

[potent crater]

What is it then? Last time i played i remember it being ergo

[restive linden]

4.4kg, 46 ergo tx-15 with thermal(if that has something to do with it)

on chunkier sv-98 or t700 i dont remember my stamina drying so fast

[potent crater]

Nah thermal just effects the other stats

Honestly i dont think anything matters besides recoil and ergo

Weight is a bit important but i would only use weight to determine rest of kit

[restive linden]

idk this looks good to me

ah hold on a sec

[potent crater]

Buddy just make it an m4

[sharp socket]

The lower the ergo the louder your ads, the quicker you lose arm stamina and the slower you ads, weight on most guns doesn’t really matter unless it’s a super heavy one

[potent crater]

Buy m4 firing mech, and then disassemble the tx down to firing mech then swap parts to m4

[sharp socket]

Some examples of super heavy ones are like the SV-98, Mk-17, m1a, AXMC and MK-18

[potent crater]

Depends in playstyle and map but eith my playstyle i dont aim a lot

[potent crater]

Lapua is insanely heavy and the rounds are suoer heavy

[restive linden]

need the tx for long road worst job in the world and overpopulation

[potent crater]

Why?

[restive linden]

kinda easier to do it with it than m4

[sharp socket]

But you cannot deny they are fun as fuck to use

[potent crater]

I havent played in a wipe or 2

[potent crater]

I never liked them much

[sharp socket]

Same reason why I love ash, big gun go boom other man over there is paint splatter

[potent crater]

I like ash more

[soft tapir]

what

[sharp socket]

I will agree though, Mk.18 is overrated

[potent crater]

Do you want my tips?

[soft tapir]

yes

[potent crater]

The #1 thing for the game is think back to every mistake in the fight, sometimes there isnt one but 999/1000 fights there is

[sharp socket]

Lapua magnum DMR is cool but man good luck trying to hit successive shots the scope bounces so much on basically every gun

[potent crater]

And sometimes its subtle but 99% of the time on shoreline its open positioning

[restive linden]

ok got from 40 to 60 ergo now lets see

[potent crater]

That beach has no cober

Like you want to stay north of the main road in trewws

[sharp socket]

Resort PvP is solely based on movement and audio

Whoever knows the resort better and has a better headset wins

[potent crater]

And NEVER cut through unless you will literally die if you dont run through the open

[restive linden]

LMAO

[sharp socket]

Yeah beach is uh

Die

[restive linden]

u know why i couldnt ADS with this tx-15?

[potent crater]

I cut through an open area around 5 times and it took around a minute and 4/5 times i got shot and died or nearly died

[restive linden]

💀

[potent crater]

Unbound right click?

[sharp socket]

Bros arms are gone 💀💀💀

[restive linden]

HAHAHAHAHHAHA

my game crashed after last raid

i didnt even realize

[potent crater]

Just every time you die think was i in a treeline and near bushes

[restive linden]

ah this build is so good

im gonna cry so much when i die without even using it

[sharp socket]

Also on shoreline if your on nighttime assume literally everyone your fighting has a thermal

[restive linden]

got 33 recoil already

dont need to spend 50k more roubless to get 1% more

[sharp socket]

Thank you for contributing to this conversation

[restive linden]

shoreline is a nightmare for me, not bcs of thermals but bcs of cheaters

[solid pawn]

idk i seen like maybe 2 cheaters on shoreline and im a shoreline main

[potent crater]

Oh another thing that also applies to woods, assume you are being watched

[sharp socket]

Not many cheaters on shoreline

[solid pawn]

and one of them only used esp

[potent crater]

You dont know how many people i have kiled because they check their inventory in the open

[sharp socket]

I don’t really see them

[potent crater]

And how many people got away due to not opening inven

[solid pawn]

every time i go factory all i see is timmys

where are people finding these juicers on factory

[potent crater]

Also theres so many bushes, random positions if you know someone will be coming your way theres so many random bushes pick an obscure one and wait

[solid pawn]

i bring in good ammo to waste on kids running level 2 or 3 armor only

wipe the whole map to find kids with nothing

[sharp socket]

But if your on night shoreline there is a good chance atleast half the lobby has thermals, no one goes nighttime shoreline unless they are trying to kill the goons, farm sanitar for his special key drops and good armour from his guards or are trying to full loot resort

[solid pawn]

ive just started using the 155 with flachette

its fun

[potent crater]

1/5 or 1/10 raids i find a juicer

[solid pawn]

shoreline is almost always juicers so thats fun

[potent crater]

Also againdt thermals use the idea of getting hard cover between you

And anyone who doesnt win long range sniper fights what im about to say is INSANELY important almost always works

[solid pawn]

impact nading zigzag stairs and then spamming f1 after looting their buddy while theyre froze up in some resort room lol

[sharp socket]

The best place to be on shoreline against a thermal user is the inside of the cottages or resort

Glass can’t be seen through by them and they usually don’t bother because their big advantage is kinda lost

Not me though, I’m stupid

And I charge that shit

[potent crater]

Say you are just trading shots with someone, and they are going to win, take a MASSIVE 3-5 minute rotation into like 1/4 of a circle around and they will tunnel vision on last seen

[solid pawn]

my only issue with shoreline is limited extracts makes for a couple extract campers more often then id like

[potent crater]

If you dont do this you are begging to die to one shot jn the head from their rotate

[potent crater]

Always ise path to lh

^^^

[solid pawn]

in the bush fr

[restive linden]

cheating wise i rarely report ppl bcs i assume im always the worse player but last 3-4 days i've been killed like 10-15 times in such a sus way that its crazy

some were quite obvious tho

as for campers, i rarely stumble upon any ngl

[soft tapir]

shit i forgot to poop but im in raid already

[solid pawn]

thats fun my game crashed while loading scav now i gotta wait 23minutes

fun game fun game

[sharp socket]

Most people will tunnel vision with thermals when they see you, the few who actually will parry your rotates are scary as fuck because unless you can outrun them or you also have a thermal it’s just a matter of time

[open glade]

EU is a very nice server, very little of what the streamers and players these days are complaining about constantly

[solid pawn]

didnt even get to go in the fucking raid

[restive linden]

my tarkov gameplay in a nutshell, either gotta shit or piss as soon as the game starts

[restive linden]

true

[open glade]

little rats, little extract campers, overall very fun experience

[restive linden]

but still it does exist on eu aswell

[open glade]

I tried playing on NA. It's horrible, much worse

That's only the russians

[sharp socket]

Which part of NA?

[open glade]

both coasts

West and East

[solid pawn]

i was playing on eu last night and everyone was timmys

[sharp socket]

It depends on where your playing

Central is usually chill

[solid pawn]

killed a 4 man in customs that were just sitting there while i went room to room clapping their boyfriends

[sharp socket]

North is usually empty or has the strangest loadouts seen to man

[open glade]

yeah I've also notices tons of timmies on my EU raids

[sharp socket]

South is pretty average

East has all the cheaters

[solid pawn]

2 were, the others were wearing thors

[sharp socket]

West has all the rats and giga chads

[solid pawn]

ill run some tasks with u

t4

solid i got a couple places to go

2 man squad call #27

no

[restive linden]

i think ping for chinese players(cheaters) is better on US west

[solid pawn]

halloween update

[restive linden]

than EU

[soft tapir]

i got beamed in less than a minute of spawning

i love tarkov

[solid pawn]

had a 13 second raid on reserve like last week

[soft tapir]

dude used three or four nades against me

it felt like i was under mortar fire

[restive linden]

GL

cheaters

[open glade]

oh shit

I just killed tagilla on labs

why is he there

[soft tapir]

i only have an hour or two of free time everyday. incredibly hard to play a game like tarkov with such limited time.

[open glade]

yeah

but he didn't have scythe

it was just normal tagilla

[soft tapir]

shoreline

[restive linden]

where did u spawn

[soft tapir]

some rocks

thing

no not tunnel there was like a stone arch

[restive linden]

oh

near radio?

[soft tapir]

yeah probably

[restive linden]

i always prefer sitting in the spawn for 1-2 mins

on shoreline

unless you are closest to resort

if closest pop a sj6 and run

[open glade]

I prefer mapgenie

interactive maps have always helped me more

I used it to learn loot spots and stashes

[open glade]

you can click on the icons and it shows you a little picture of what it looks like

same here, I don't think I've actually used a map in years tho

I don't know what the best maps are nowadays

[restive linden]

my 2nd wipe

i only dont use it on customs and woods

least amount of cheaters

[open glade]

customs is great

[restive linden]

on customs

[open glade]

don'

t

bash it

[clever knoll]

don't you hate on customs

[open glade]

nahhh

[open glade]

frfr

[restive linden]

love customs

sadly all the quests are on shitty maps like reserve

or interchange

even streets are great compared to reserve/interchange

on reserve i need to get night vision irl in order to actually see something

[potent crater]

Its not that, its that we hate those maps so never get around to our fat stack of quetss on bad maps

[soft tapir]

do i just sit in a bush for the first 10 minutes for questing

[potent crater]

If you have an nvidia card put your gamma to 1.8

[potent crater]

I dont

[restive linden]

what level were u when u finished your big sale task (first ragman task)?

[potent crater]

I just learn good positioning and another thing is never take a fair fight

[potent crater]

17 - 20 prob but i havent played tjis wile

Wipe

[restive linden]

it literally took me like 30 raids

and i got to lvl 35 before doing it xd

[potent crater]

Well first is technically get level 17

[open glade]

tagilla on labs again

[clever knoll]

i did not spend the last 5min making this gif

[open glade]

you did not 💀

[clever knoll]

||i did ;-;||

[open glade]

💀

[wary lantern]

i can't start any raids game just errors out at about 2 mins, anythingi can do to fix that?

[open glade]

shoreline

and labs

9 raids out of 10 there's raiders on labs

why tho

[weak mirage]

They always spawn

Yeah Then you Will never see Them

[restive linden]

i hope i find 1 ledx this wipe

never found any

[weak mirage]

They spawn The most when youre alone on the map

[restive linden]

i also think i played like 100 raids trying to find stupid odolbos for pk samples

[orchid isle]

And run around killin scavs?

[formal copper]

reserve is great

||have you realized im a rat||

[open glade]

huh noo

[restive linden]

whenever i go reserve i go w/o a backpack to take sewer

bcs there is no way i'd get to d2 alive

[open glade]

just get rr

[fervent raft]

they gave him goofy scyte

[open glade]

wtf

he's not spawning with one for me

[fervent raft]

on labs?

it might be random

[open glade]

killed him twice so far

nothing

[fervent raft]

hmm

[fervent raft]

scyte again

[orchid isle]

i wanna take his melle

[fervent raft]

wbat a scam

this event might have saved labs

[tidal lagoon]

u making me wanna go labs

[fervent raft]

they actually moved

is anything up with those pumpkins?

[orchid isle]

what tier is thatpumpkin mask

[orchid isle]

i think ucan open them for cnady

[tidal lagoon]

2

[orchid isle]

and food

[orchid isle]

entier head?

[fervent raft]

less ratty

i had one guy i couldnt find

but the raiders found him

he tried to snipe me 4 times with a dvl

[past quest]

Labs scares me lol I feel like I should do a bunch of offline labs before going there in a real raid

Can I do an offline there?

[tidal lagoon]

yes

u just need access card on u but it wont be used

[fervent raft]

2 tagillas no card

hes scamming me

[bold kernel]

Meta.

[fervent raft]

you cant use a headset apparently

but it gives the spooky glo

[bold kernel]

Don’t need a headset when you’re spooky. 🎃

[fervent raft]

do you just sell the pumpkins?

or whats the plan

[sharp socket]

Zad

(I do not use the caliber often)

[main violet]

what did the halloween patch add?

[tidal lagoon]

??event

[carmine lantern]

**Spooky Scary Skeletons Send Shingles Down Your Spine **

The current list of Halloween Events are as follows : ** (This list will be updated as we hear about them)

• Pumpkins with sweets that you can find as loose loot
• Jack'o'lantern helmets to terrorize some poor timmies
• Tagilla with a Scythe has been sighted on Labs

[formal copper]

you aint ratty enough

[orchid isle]

rr

[spark sonnet]

this remington any good got it from a pmc i killed on a scav ?

[soft tapir]

is pp 19 still viable

[spark sonnet]

also is 7.62 sp any good (i aint got flea) ?

[sharp socket]

No it’s not that great as it can’t really pen anything higher than class 2

[bold kernel]

The PP-19 viability died ages ago.

[soft tapir]

thats unfortunate

[bold kernel]

Not unless you have 9x19 PBP.

But it would probably be better spent in a different 9x19 gun.

[soft tapir]

i only have PST

[restive linden]

its shit then

[spark sonnet]

what abt the bolt action i got in the ss any good ?

[restive linden]

that m700 is good

but ammo isnt rly

m62 is fine but u preferably need m80

[tidal lagoon]

m62 is better than m80 except it has tracer

[bold kernel]

M62 better than M80.

[tidal lagoon]

stats wise at least

need a loan to buy that shit

[sharp socket]

The bullets are pretty good and the scope is solid, weird choice on not having a suppressor on a sniper rifle but overall it’s not bad

[hollow oriole]

$500 = 50 rounds

bargain 😉

[bold kernel]

Real.

[sharp socket]

I just took a double take at that screenshot

That guy is running half dura raider sks with a hjelm, sordins and an HPC

[tidal lagoon]

its meta

[main violet]

what weapon mod/attachment reduces recoil?

[tidal lagoon]

a lot

[sharp socket]

Fr

[tidal lagoon]

muzzles, foregrips, stocks

and other

handguards gas tube

[sharp socket]

A lot do, mostly foregrips, stocks, muzzle devices, hand guards, gas tubes, buffer tubes if applicable to the weapon and hand guards

[bold kernel]

Meta gaming.

[hollow oriole]

think some people forget this is a beginner thread 😂

[sharp socket]

I’m aware it is, I just took a double take

[hollow oriole]

ive seen level 50s in worse kit..

rat rig and flechettes

[bold kernel]

#beginners-chat is worse. They haven’t even been talking about Tarkov in there.

beginners chat is eft chat 1 but for sane people

Nah it’s what #general-chat is supposed to be.

[tidal lagoon]

beginners chat is insane

[soft tapir]

should i use tac 30 or HCO

or depends on my playstyle?

[bold kernel]

tac 30 budget vudu

[tidal lagoon]

tac 30 better but cant be used on full auto weapons

[soft tapir]

i shall keep it for my mosin then

man using it with the mosin is glitchy asf

[tidal lagoon]

mosin ugly

[soft tapir]

Not very ugly when that 7.62x54mm R hits them

[orchid isle]

just run irons

[tidal lagoon]

real but still ugly, dvl better

[orchid isle]

damn we got a eft chat man here

arguably worse/better than reddit posts

soemtime better sometimes worse

[bold kernel]

I am an #eft-chat man.

[soft tapir]

Yeah its decent too, but having a proper sight helps a lot for me

iron on my graphics settings is a grey smudge.

[orchid isle]

i cant use sights w mosin it messes me up

[open glade]

tac 30 is ass

[orchid isle]

damn

u using dlss?

[soft tapir]

FSR

[orchid isle]

dlss makes everything an ugly grey smudge

[orchid isle]

prolly similar

[soft tapir]

if i could use DLSS i wouldnt be using upscaling lol

[bold kernel]

thats why hbao on top

[soft tapir]

didnt know i could get mp5 as a scav

as i was saying, if i could use DLSS (which needs an RTX card) i wouldnt be using DLSS

[pastel current]

fsr you mean?

and assuming you did have a 20-40 series card, if you're on 1080 you wouldnt even need dlss

and neither should you use upscaling at that stage unless necessary

[open glade]

is the 1080 even worth it ?

I was thinking of getting it

[bold kernel]

1080 TI

not 1080

1080 is ages better than my 1660.

[open glade]

yeah I know

[bold kernel]

1080 ti

[open glade]

it's a beast

[open glade]

🤓

[bold kernel]

?

I would get it.

u brainlet

1080ti is so much better than 1080

[open glade]

5fps difference

in most games

[bold kernel]

since vram usage of modern games

?

?

[open glade]

and like

[bold kernel]

u have no knowledge

[open glade]

2gb extra vram I think>

[bold kernel]

dont correct me

2gb say if it had 6

and ti had 8

[soft tapir]

yeah thats what im saying, to use DLSS i need an RTX card but at that point the GPU is good enough to run the game without upscaling.

[bold kernel]

is big difference

Fps doesn’t mean everything. But the 1080ti is in fact way better.

maybe not for tarkov

but other games

[open glade]

lol ti has 11

[bold kernel]

yea

u just proved urself wrong

[open glade]

get that diaper off

[bold kernel]

Underprepared.

[open glade]

yes

please.

[bold kernel]

The ratio of good gear and bad gear is scaring me.

[open glade]

and get some headphones on

[bold kernel]

Please get a real helmet and rig.

And headphones yes.

[tidal lagoon]

what map are you going and why

[open glade]

customs

he has machinery key

[bold kernel]

Bottom because it’s the bottom of the tier list. 💀

[open glade]

NIGHT?

Bro

[tidal lagoon]

that is interesting

[open glade]

you already just

broke your eardrums with the helmet

[bold kernel]

Where NVGs??

[open glade]

and now you can't see

[tidal lagoon]

flashlight is a im here beacon

[open glade]

^^^

only for use indoors

and to blind others

in firefights

no.

customs has people practically everywhere

and for the task you're doing

definitely people gonna be there

[tidal lagoon]

just get a headset go day and ure chilling

[open glade]

firstly, that helmet has got to go and you gotta get some earpro on

[open glade]

nah night is fine there's nothing wrong with it

but with that helmet you'd might as well be going crippled

no ears, no eyes

you're like a mole above ground

[tidal lagoon]

i mean ig

[open glade]

absolutely clueless

[tidal lagoon]

and repair yo gun

[open glade]

scav gun too?

ouchies

[tidal lagoon]

personally wouldnt use hpc with such a shotgun but up to u really

[open glade]

am I overprepared?

[bold kernel]

no

[tidal lagoon]

under for sure

needs a extra layer of maska

[open glade]

I need an extra layer of swag

wait

[soft tapir]

opinion

[open glade]

better

[open glade]

very nice

I wouldn't use an ulach with that armor

but your choice

[tidal lagoon]

coolies, dont like the drum mag personally

[lone current]

bring a suppressor if u are doing shoreline

[open glade]

Also that

I never run loud

[soft tapir]

what helmet should i sue then

[tidal lagoon]

i think ulach is fine

[open glade]

personal favourite is lshz

the green one

[tidal lagoon]

its a alright lvl 4 vest

[open glade]

but it's a ceramic vest

[tidal lagoon]

yea

[bold kernel]

best material

[open glade]

thta one ulach can buy two of the armors

[open glade]

1 hit and it's gone

[bold kernel]

so what

cope

[open glade]

???

[tidal lagoon]

that armor lowkey just better than other ceramics

[bold kernel]

yh

[soft tapir]

90k

[tidal lagoon]

it just slaps

[open glade]

the green one

[open glade]

.

[soft tapir]

oh

[open glade]

clean

you'll find that if you use a different mag

your ergo will go up alot

drum mags tank so much ergo

[tidal lagoon]

ye i cant use drum mags only very specific ones, 30 rounders is what ill use at most normally

[soft tapir]

whats does ergo do

[tidal lagoon]

if u are able to conserve ammo and not spray the air they do great

[lone current]

aim speed, aim loudness when aiming

[open glade]

ads speed and loudness, arm stamina drain

[soft tapir]

this is the ergo with regular 30 rounders

[open glade]

weapon sway

[open glade]

yeah much better

[lone current]

weapon sway is when ur guy breathes right?

[open glade]

nah just how much it moves while you're moving

and how much it moves while idle

[soft tapir]

ultimate ergo

[open glade]

change the pistol grip

[lone current]

no dont do that

[open glade]

you can squeeze atleast another 5 ergo

[open glade]

also yes don't do that

[lone current]

u need 30 mag if u shoot 545 39

if it were 762 51 10 mag is ok

[soft tapir]

yeah

wait so using regular 30 rounders will reduce my recoil?

[bold kernel]

increase ergo

the smaller the mag the more ergo

[lone current]

increase ergo relative to using a drum

[soft tapir]

hm ok

i think this is the best i can do

[bold kernel]

good build

just bad stock

[sharp socket]

PRS gen 3 is pretty solid

[soft tapir]

now

[bold kernel]

based on what use are you speaking

[bold kernel]

do not run that lmao

u either go moe with buttpad or gen3

[sharp socket]

Gets you the lowest recoil from a stock

[bold kernel]

but gen3 is longer has less ergo

id say the ergo tradeoff for -3 recoil isnt worth it

or however much

[sharp socket]

I would agree moe with buttpad is better

[bold kernel]

especially if hes running a holo

[sharp socket]

But prs gen 3 is not a bad stock

[bold kernel]

yea just not for close range

maybe if u have a vudu or some sort of maginifying scope then yes

but thats purely cqc

[soft tapir]

why is the buttpad a 100k on the flea

[bold kernel]

cause best part in the game

[tidal lagoon]

it doesnt matter

[bold kernel]

what did they say

[tidal lagoon]

overweight literally has like nothing to say

[sharp socket]

Are… are you going to repair the shotgun?

[tidal lagoon]

severe overweight is a different thing

[bold kernel]

yea so what

if ur weight is green

u have the most movement possible

if its orange

it is a bit limited

only matters if you go red or above 55kg at ur strenght

orl ike 50kg idk

cause above that u dont regen stamina

unless u crawl

[sharp socket]

50, 51 somewhere around there

[soft tapir]

im gonna run this, its just a quick in and out quest. what could go wrong. (i get beamed in the first 60 seconds)

[sharp socket]

W fr

[tidal lagoon]

well u have shit ammo for the build tbf

[soft tapir]

95 of it is more than enough

[sharp socket]

PP isn’t great but it’s not paying 200 extra roubles for 1 more pen

[bold kernel]

pp good enough

id sya

[sharp socket]

But yeah your gonna struggle pretty hard with certain class 4s and class 5 and above

Yeah it’s not bad by any means

[tidal lagoon]

ye the amount wasnt what i was thinking about, its more like u get fucked before u can use teh drum

[bold kernel]

if u catch off guard its possible

[tidal lagoon]

but i guess u can spray heads since u have nice build

[soft tapir]

i have a bunch of these

[bold kernel]

igolnik is face ammo

bs is good

bp is bad

[soft tapir]

but its found in raid and stuff and not from traders

so if it die with it

i cry

[bold kernel]

its whatever

ammo is supposed to be used

[soft tapir]

wait why is BP bad

[bold kernel]

bp is only good if its 762 41

51

no

762 39

[tidal lagoon]

545 BP costs a lot extra for 1 extra pen

[bold kernel]

other bp callibers are trash pretty much

just run bs and igolnik

[pearl palm]

BP is fine to put at the bottom of ur mag if u find it in raid

[bold kernel]

u could load 1 igolnik at the top since i think its less recoil

[tidal lagoon]

better to not use it and extract with it and flea it

igolnik has increased recoil

[pearl palm]

id never use igolnik outside of factory, way too little damage
can never one shot thru class 4 helmets iirc

[soft tapir]

this is all the "good" ammo i have

[bold kernel]

bs

[pearl palm]

cant even one shot face from a certain distance

[bold kernel]

top tier 545

or bt i dont remember

but theyre fairly the same

[tidal lagoon]

bs better

[pearl palm]

BS on too BT on the bottom

[bold kernel]

ok then im slow

[pearl palm]

BP/PP is fine on the bottom too

if u really want to, u can do 10BS/10BT/10BP(or PP)

[bold kernel]

do not bother doing that shit

[pearl palm]

?

hes lvl 17, he doesnt have access to BS/BT

[bold kernel]

it barely makes a difference man

its 545

i doubt hell run it again if he loses the gun

anytime soon

[soft tapir]

i did pp then bs

[bold kernel]

bs on top?

[pearl palm]

better ammo on top

[soft tapir]

yeah pp first means it would be at the bottom

isnt it

[bold kernel]

yes

[pearl palm]

ye

[soft tapir]

i have a few more AK-12s in stash so its better if i save ammo wherever i can

[pearl palm]

u should be using mostly 56a1 from PK2 at 17 tho

5.56

[soft tapir]

yeah

[pearl palm]

id only use 545 if a quest required it lol

[soft tapir]

in that case ill see what i can do

tmrw

[past quest]

Best way to get money spent for pk2?

Like any way that is least amount of money lost lol

[bold kernel]

just buy like 20 guns then sell them

js spend the amount of money u need

like 2/3 of it then sell it back so ull get the rest

[past quest]

Ye makes sense

[pearl palm]

idk if its true for this wipe, but it was to buy info items from flea and sell to PK

ull have to do the conversions yourself, but when i last played SMTs were the most efficient

[unkempt egret]

Most people just buy dollars for Roubles since you'll want some to spend later

[hardy fox]

you use alot of dollars

[pearl palm]

its more efficient to sell info item to him

[past quest]

Makes sense

[hearty sand]

Does failing a timed TASK have negative ramifications?
