[sharp socket]

Oh he’s actually new my bad

[blissful storm]

I bought tarkov years ago and was too scared to play it seriously

you can laugh

[sharp socket]

Why would I?

What’s there to me to gain from it? We were all new and afraid of the world of tarkov at some point or another

[astral glen]

sigh

[sharp socket]

Ok first of all, don’t speak of that forbidden game

Second, that’s not a good idea

The AI there won’t ever compare to real players

[lofty wave]

lmfao redacted

[sharp socket]

I can see why you may have tried that, but it’s just not the same

People will play and position smarter (or dumber) than you would expect

[astral glen]

It's not even controversy

It's illegal software don't mention it here

[sharp socket]

Sessamy is typically a pretty quick draw but I guess he wasn’t looking, for future reference i strongly advise talking about it here

Anything else I could help you with though?

Have a great day then dawg and good luck with tarkov

[brittle shore]

Anyone know if there is any way to fix busy hands glitch or no-shooting glitch without using Alt + F4?

[lofty wave]

nope have to reload back in

No. Just go factory. Easier with APM, but good aim and a mosin can do the trick

[wooden bridge]

Does anyone know how to fix this? Turned this task in and now I'm locked from seeing my other tasks from therapist, I got the quest rewards so I'm assuming something bugged.

[austere hound]

Restart the game

Or enter and exit a raid

[wooden bridge]

I did reset so I'll try getting into another raid

Why are Objekts loading so slow. Was fine Till today. I did nvidia and windows updates today

It's also in raid

[celest lynx]

Already done that. Deleted backups and done the integrity check

[fresh belfry]

IS THIS A GOOD M4?

caps sorry

[heady sable]

Any UK players wanna squad up and do some runs tonight? I can teach new players happy to help

[dark trail]

Probably

[north scroll]

In need of talk with some veteran preferably one that has like 20 min time for talking me through progression system

[mint light]

no

[late grail]

Statwise, no, but it looks pretty neat. With the new recoil rework there isn't really a need to run meta attachments.

[inner flume]

not an uberchad but can probably answer most questions

[mint light]

idk if ur qualified. gonna need to ask spacemonkey

😛

[inner flume]

yeah you right, well i can probably answer progression but if he wants the coefficient of change to zeroing that different iron sights have on a Val i'll need to refer to science man

[mint light]

if he wants to know the exact effect of the weight on an 5.4578 kg sr25 you are not educated enough in that field

[inner flume]

yeah my bad g, i dont know what ergo does

[fresh belfry]

ths better?

[fervent bough]

Just change the suppressor if you plan to use it, hybrid 46 is better for something like bolt-actions, everything else is decent, better than stock at least

[inner flume]

A bit high recoil but the gun is usable

[fresh belfry]

i changed it in second SS

[fresh belfry]

im level 26 its what i have avaliable

[fervent bough]

Yeeep that is better and with lower cost, and maybe consider change the gas block to lopro if you can buy is

[inner flume]

Its really good for 26 yeah

[fervent bough]

For 5.56 weapon, any suppressor that slots on to the KAC-QDC and SF3P should be good value + ergo. And it can be update to Ultra5 when you have Skier level3, using the barter of 1 boss hat and 2 leather hat(buy them from fence costs 25k in total)

Never ever waste money on the old so called 'metas'

[austere hound]

CRD slaps though

[inner flume]

that's an M4

[orchid isle]

I played aroudn w the new recoil change just to test it and a stock m4 is perfectly usable now ngl

[late grail]

2 Prokill M4 barter from Mechanic can get you a pretty decent M4 for a good price.

If you sell the AN/PEQ-15 tac device, canted sight, and foregrip, then buy an RVG foregrip, you get a 50 ergo/65 vert recoil M4 with a 1x/4x scope; or you can sell the scope and put any sight you prefer and it'll come out even cheaper.

[orchid isle]

so anything around 50-60 is good

[inner flume]

my m4 overpriced as shit tho, zero budget considerations there

[orchid isle]

Ion like 30 rounders, they're good now? i see everyone running them

[fervent bough]

Better use the g-lok for the M4SD suppressor

Other than that it is a perfect max trader build

[late grail]

I prefer the 40 rounders, but 30 rd mags for ergo is okay, if you are good at managing your shots.

[inner flume]

yo wtf i selected the wrong one, thanks mate i didnt double check

[mint light]

anything that isnt 60 is horrific to use

[orchid isle]

Das what I’m saying, ok good I’m not tripping over new meta

Like for mutants sure 30 is enough but 556 and 545 are airsoft guns

[inner flume]

Depends how much ammo you throw at the walls, on an HK its more noticeable, but i carry 3x spare mags always so my experience may vary, i just HATE repacking the big mags it takes forever

[orchid isle]

lol I run 100s with an hk on labs cus u can just hold it down and walk towards them

[fervent bough]

And if you don't mind losing 4 to 5 ergo to exchange 1 point less recoil , consider start the bartered build in mechanical ll3 that has the MUR upper. If you can get 4 gp coins at under 11k, that is crazy good value

[fresh belfry]

i run 45s, most people dont want to have to swap the rig and i get it back most of the time, most will scoop up a 60 or 100rnd mag but pass on 40s

[digital haven]

need someone who is really good at pvp to spectate my solo dorms raid. just died twice with my pants down with a decent kit. trying to complete pharmacist but also improve at pvp moments - learning how to push https://discord.com/channels/521608697764380694/807420497594810400

[late grail]

40 rd mags have felt really nice on my M4s. Its snappier and there is less sway than the 60 rd mags.

[orchid isle]

They added 45s?

[fresh belfry]

anyone have or know a spreadsheet that lists sell prices of barter items to traders?

[solemn raptor]

if you manage to make an M4 with barrel overswing, you deserve that barrel overswing.

[inner flume]

Yeah the MUR is an option for less recoil, i wanted the little bit more ergo cause i intended on running a 60rnd at first but just never ended doing it, also nice to have a bit more ergo on the offtimes i put a thermal on it (Echo1 reflex pref)

[late grail]

The M4s I run don't have much overswing even with the 60 rd mags, but with 40s its pretty much nonexistent.

[inner flume]

i think also my recoil is already so low you dont get much more practical difference on an M4 at that point

[solemn raptor]

What I'm saying is, if you manage to get any overswing at all, you've gone above and beyond to say the least.

[late grail]

I understand what you are saying, let me rephrase, I meant overswing when you strafe ads, not a stand still ads.

[tacit cosmos]

What are some good unlocks for quests rewards I should go for after maxing traders?

[fresh belfry]

im surprised with flea market website and wiki, nobodody has done a vendor value spreadsheet

[mint light]

everything from lightkeeper

7n40 and altyn from calibration

[tacit cosmos]

Its my second wipe, I dont think lightkeeper is in my reach lol

[fresh belfry]

depends on how much time you have

[late grail]

You've got at least another month and half, plenty of time to casually work your way up LK, imo.

[fresh belfry]

if you read youll see "40"

[tacit cosmos]

But you need kappa to get to LK no?

[fresh belfry]

some people have kappa week 1

[mint light]

not even close

[fresh belfry]

best place to get motors?

[tacit cosmos]

I have some time, but I dont have the map knowledge, spawn knowlegde and pvp skills tho

[digital haven]

iso someone who can spectate my solo dorms raid and give me pointers. just died twice with my pants down with a decent kit. trying to complete pharmacist but also improve at pvp moments - learning how to push https://discord.com/channels/521608697764380694/807420497594810400

[late grail]

Oh, then don't worry about LK, just enjoy the process of learning the game.

Honestly, the good times in Tarkov is when you're still learning the game.

[tacit cosmos]

If I would get to LK I want to focus on the faceshield and spear

[late grail]

When you know everything about the game, it gets pretty stale.

[tacit cosmos]

I feel like if you know everything you dont die all the time, win more fights, get more enjoyment

[mint light]

spear is the last thing u get before predator

[tacit cosmos]

Double edged sword

[mint light]

so basically the last

[tacit cosmos]

Oh sadge

I like the spear so much in terms of design

[late grail]

That's valid, but personally, my fondest memories of Tarkov are mostly from when I was still learning the game.

[tacit cosmos]

Shame I will not be really able to use it instead of flee but hey ho

[mint light]

game is super stale when ur good at it and do the same thing every wipe

[late grail]

Run like 2-3 factory scavs and you can just buy the spear off flea

[tacit cosmos]

Would one of you maybe want to coach me a little?

I could really appreciate a fresh pair of eyes

[pastel fulcrum]

will weapons i put on the weapon rack show up in this menu

[tacit cosmos]

I mean thats a fair point

[tidal lagoon]

no

thats why weapon stand is useless

just a place to put guns and forget about them

[late grail]

I can help ya out later today if you still need it. I have a bunch of meetings in 10 min.

[tacit cosmos]

Im from EU, so I figure that might be a little tough

I will be on when its morning/afternoon for you though

[solemn raptor]

strafe ADS? do you have a video if this?

[late grail]

I'm usually up pretty late so I might still be on. Feel free to shoot me a DM on discord whenever.

[mint light]

im pretty bad bro lol

[tacit cosmos]

Sure, will do! Much appreciated

[tacit cosmos]

All good, I appreciate the advice

[late grail]

No, but what I mean is when you move side to side and ads

[solemn raptor]

like, the reticle not keeping up or something?

[late grail]

Yeah, so for example, when you move right and then ADS, your reticle will slightly sway before getting on target.

[solemn raptor]

uh.....?

seems like normal overswing to me?

[late grail]

It is?

[solemn raptor]

idk, I'm having a hard time understanding what you're saying.

[late grail]

Yeah, I'm just as confused now. Let's just forget abot it lol.

[winter sigil]

ANYONE GOT JON B GLASSES ON SCAV NEED FOR KAPPA?

[solemn raptor]

testing it in-game now, I can only see one type of overswing.

[hardy hound]

can someone help i think ive got all the right parts can someone lmk what else i need?

[solemn raptor]

try repairing it

[hardy hound]

ohh now it works thank you man

was wondering why it wouldnt work lol

[orchid isle]

Before the edit at the end anyways plus it still says 45s

[merry hollow]

[violet onyx]

hey everyone, wanting to get into the game after a few months what's the first thing I should do and controls as well

[astral glen]

You interact with objects by pressing the interact key, the default bind is F

You can scroll the wheel on your mouse to select different options

[weary quartz]

Should I get water collector first or med station

[chrome rapids]

mostly no one can bc spawn rates sucks as intended

do scav cases otherwise dont do the task theres no any other next tasks also not included in kappa tasks

[austere current]

guys, why are my traders locked? cant even buy 2k mags

yeah about to say

[mellow belfry]

💀 im at 2 💀

[astral glen]

I’m at 71.59

[mellow belfry]

[astral glen]

The 4th one is at like 30

[mellow belfry]

oh, I thought there was only 3 thats the farthest I have ever gotten

[sullen nymph]

thanks

[flat dune]

is chem part 4 or any of its varieties like big costumer worth doing?

[astral glen]

Yes of course, why wouldn’t it?

[flat dune]

rep penalties right?

[astral glen]

You are given tasks to regain the lost reputation when you complete it

[flat dune]

are they easy?

[astral glen]

Yes, you just hand in stuff

I suggest reading the wiki

Prapor is the best value to hand it in to

And you don’t even need to hand in the tasks to regain the reputation

You can just take the loss and get it back through other tasks

[still berry]

Can anyone help me on gunsmith part 8? i built exactl what the wiki said and he wont take it

[austere hound]

Need to see the weapon stats as is and the durability of the gun

[austere hound]

Wrong dust cover & you might need the old ak-12 mag

B-33 not the bastion

[still berry]

Ah thanks

was just the dust cover

[austere hound]

Npnp. Glad it worked

[still berry]

idk how i didnt notice that

[austere hound]

Happens lol

[undone drum]

just make a screenshot of tarkov wiki and your built and comprare them sight by sight.
Thats how i do it, when i can´t turn it in

[austere hound]

I build like 10 presets at a time and just acoustically double check them before saving

[red latch]

can someone help me get machinery key and the pocket watch please

[rain spruce]

can someone with experience on woods help me complete the search mission, I'm having trouble finding an extraction

[undone drum]

you can always try to join the lfg channels for woods and ask politely if you can tag along.
if that don´t work, hop with me in a VC, you go in raid, stream, i will tell you where to go

[plucky tangle]

can I do my survive 5 minutes task by using the prop stim

cant say the name it deleted my message

[crisp panther]

can someone with experience help me with my stash, i don't know what to keep and what to sell

[lofty wave]

@crisp panther #1140466772672262195

[soft tapir]

is ap 6.3 bad?

[dry flint]

technically yes, but depending on the gun like the mpx, it can still shred through armor if you hit the soft plates

[soft tapir]

damn

[dry flint]

if you can get the mpx or the vector, it will shred people to bits

[soft tapir]

yeah i have the mpx

[fossil saddle]

what is this it keeps hsowing up and it wont let me go back to the home screen after a scav raid

[rain spruce]

anyone mind if i tag along on a woods raid. trying to complete search mission

[sonic obsidian]

im also stuck on a woods task lol

[rough rain]

how high scav rep do you need to not get shot by kabans guards?

[undone drum]

6.0

[hazy veldt]

6.0+ guarantees safety

[rough rain]

Also where do i find flashdrives for the flashdrive quest?

[hazy veldt]

I usually find mine in jackets and drawers.

Worst case, intelligence center 2.

[austere hound]

Mainly safes and filing cabinets

[rough rain]

ive looted a ton of filing cabinets on streets and have yet to find one

i guess i will try safes then

[plucky tangle]

someone help i cant fix my jam

it says its not set when it is

im spamming L and it wont work

i literally cant shoot my gun rn

[foggy pier]

It is set to L

[plucky tangle]

I am pressing L

[west turret]

set to double click

[foggy pier]

However you more than likely overrode the "inspect weapon" which you have to do

so set inspect weapon to double tap L

[plucky tangle]

still nothing

[plucky tangle]

ohhh

im dumb let me try that

[foggy pier]

I said it vice versa

So you inspect (L), then fix malfunction (Doubletap L)

[plucky tangle]

ok that works

i almost died 💀

[hazy veldt]

I used to do that, but it was sometimes too clunky.

so I just but them on j and u

[rain spruce]

can anyone help me complete a task on customs

[upbeat snow]

I will use that it seems better then my way xd

[upbeat snow]

Which one?

[woeful spruce]

Thats a cool way, i use mine to inspect on press and fix malfunction on release but that makes me hold l while the animation is playing out. Might try this out instead

[upbeat snow]

I did the exact same thing that u do xd

[ornate jacinth]

i just bought the game can someone do one raid with me so they can show me some stuff im rlly confused rn

[undone drum]

Just ask here, what are you confused about?

[upbeat snow]

U can always ask here

[austere current]

is the game broken today or what wtf, loading into lobby for ever here

[idle vine]

Is there any site where I can check the weapon tire (how good is it)?

[solemn raptor]

there's no one way to rank weapons...

A DVL is a very bad weapon for cqc, but exceptial for super long range.

[ornate jacinth]

i go into a raid i kill some scavs and i dont know where to extract ang get sniped in the head

[sturdy needle]

whats some good streets keys? (not marked rooms)

[ripe viper]

OK, jaeger quest, tough guy. Any tips?

On where to go for 3 scavs that is

also do i have to survive and extract after i killed 3?

[woeful spruce]

Baisically every youtuber has their own weapon tierlist. You can rank them for very difrent things like proportion of stats to price, or best performance on a certain map or best weapons for each trader lvl. Some weapons stand out as used in high lvl play like mdr in 762x51, the spear, meta modded m4 and stuff like that. But theres no definite way to rank weapons.

[ripe viper]

Also, can i use bleed stoppers or does that count as meds?

so if i get a heavy or light bleed im just fucked cuz its woods

[woeful spruce]

To know where to extract you gotta doubble tap 'o' that shows your list of extracts. Then while consulting a map from the wiki for example or from some site like mapgenie.io you figure out where you are amd where those exits that you got are and go there. You can practice that process in offline first. Its also worth looking at the wiki for the map youre on to see which extracts require some extra actions to use or have a chance to not spawn

[woeful spruce]

Thats also meds

The point of the quest is baisically do a woods raid where you kill 3 scavs without getting hit. If youre bleeding use your meds, fail the quest amd try again another time. Try to only engage scavs from far away and go to extract fast

[ripe viper]

alright, any particular spot i should go to to get 3 scavs fast?

Sawmill? or is that too dangerous?

[woeful spruce]

You could, but that is a bit dangerous as you have a higher chance of getting players. I would just get the money for extract a long range gun and snipe 3 scavs in the village next to car extract then take the car

Will also get you some scav rep

Alternatively just avoid points of intrest maybe kill sniperscav as thats just a free scav kill and just go to your extract amd look for scavs there. There shoukd be some at scav house or near fob/train station depending what your extracts are

[undone drum]

What Kaustic says. This is the particular spot

Did it at evening (raid start 7-8 pm) even less chads and pscavs

Did all my "shoot scavs on woods" quests that way, first try

[woeful spruce]

Its a kinda popular way, got some of my "kill players on woods" by shooting mfs doing this

But recomend it

[ripe viper]

i just got up on sniper mountain a second ago, on an unconventional spot. A guy ran up behind me on a path, i heard him, he didnt know i was there, he wandered around, then he slipped and as he slipped he flicked to me and dropshotted me in a 5 round burst

i feel like i might not play this game today

He was also not wearing ANY armor, but uses an SR25

dude i dont know waht the fuck was this

[woeful spruce]

Actual low weight maxxing woods chad that understands that most people have armor pen rounds there anyway so no point

[ripe viper]

He hit me on head, face. So much for the lvl 4 ballistic mask if he is gonna dropshot me and put 5 rounds in my face while falling and realizing im there like 1 second ago

[woeful spruce]

But fr thats kinda weird but have seen weirder tactics for that quest where you gotta get kills around sniper mountain

[ripe viper]

I dont even think he was trying to get kills, he legit wasnt even searching for me he just climbed the rock next to me, slipped and headshot me on his way down like its breakfast, i literally dont know what the fuck just happened im still shook

worst thing is i brought in some actual good fkn gear

[finite sail]

Anyone has server connection lost? first time that i got this cant enter a single raid

[woeful spruce]

Maybe server side issues, or your internet provider? I used to live in a place where internet would randomly get super shit every 3 hours and it turned out my building was getting internet from some tiny company operating out of a shed with shit tech. Once i moved and got a normal one im not getting server connection lost unless the servers ate shitting themselves or theres a genuine outage in my area

[orchid isle]

get fiber

[woeful spruce]

Yea, im on that rn. That whole building was weird as fuck

[ripe viper]

what is better, getting an item case through euros barter, or the Oscope and meds barter?

[sturdy needle]

o scope

even tho its rarely in stock

nvm i stand wrong

used to be impossible to get

but o scope is the way

wait for it to be around 60-70k per o scope

[tough widget]

I thought they fixed the server connection lost issue :c

[undone drum]

might have something to do with hideout preload- option

uncheck and you will be fine, ppl say

[tough widget]

ill try this, sad about losing that kit though

[undone drum]

leave raid shouldn´t loose you your kit

Press confirm leave you get your kit back

[tough widget]

DAMN

thats amazing to know

thank you man

[unkempt egret]

Weapons depend highly on both availability and preference. We can tell level 6 players all day about how meta the SPEAR is but that doesn't help him. Lots of weapons are viable especialy with the recoil rework but BSG likes to fiddle around with balance all the time so what used to be a good weapon possibly won't be next patch.

For example the AK 101 used to be a pretty good weapon for budget 556 builds because good 556 ammo like 855A1 was readily available from traders, it had access to (generaly cheaper) AK modding and good accuracy/recoil due to the lower rate of fire.
In the current wipe it's not as good as it used to be because 855A1 is no longer available from traders (locked behind a quest locked craft), the recoil rework made it's advantage of low Rof = low recoil less relevant and because of it's low rate of fire it has trouble competing with other 556 options. Doubly so since it can only take 30 round magazines unlike most other options in the caliber. Still viable, even better than it used to be last wipe but the competetion got stiffer.

[edgy plover]

That sight does that

[tulip vine]

need some chads to show me how to scav efficiently

[digital haven]

ISO shoreline junkie to help me complete Signal Part 1 and Scrap Metal ❤️ https://discord.com/channels/521608697764380694/935947343277223966

[tulip vine]

for recoil value, is higher or lower better?

[soft tapir]

if you die after killing 3 scavs, its fine

you stil get the quest done

from heavy bleed or whatever

was for me at least, i hope they didnt change it

[upbeat snow]

wait what

i thought if u stop bleeds

u fail the quest even if u completed it

Do not use any Medical items while in a raid while the quest is active.

[bold kernel]

You will fail the quest if you use any medical item in raid. This still applies after killing the 3 Scavs.

[still berry]

Is Streets supposed to be this bad optimisation wise?

[unreal horizon]

yeah

its just awful

[tall roost]

Any idea where i could fine a mule?

[unreal horizon]

black/sani

[fervent pebble]

anyone wanna help a brother out? im sick of playing alone and getting blasted

[ripe viper]

Do people say lighthouse is good to scav?

if so, where do people really go there for loot

I kinda doubt they go to water treatment? I mean killing rogues as a scav doesent sound good, and most of the time you cant loot them cuz they on the roof.

So why do people say lighthouse is good? Where does the juice flow from?

[unreal horizon]

chalet, resort, water

[ripe viper]

Ok so what do i actually loot in water treatment plan?

Also isnt reserve just better for scavving?

[unreal horizon]

reserve is good but id say lh is better

[ripe viper]

So when do i go to water treatment plan? I let some PMC group deal with the rogues or do i try to snipe them,... with my shotgun?

[unreal horizon]

reserve is better on pmc its sorta key dependant

depends where you spawn, if you spawn north side go straight there, if not maybe loot the chalet/resort first

[ripe viper]

I am honestly just mortally afraid of rogues

I know how to get INTO the treatment pla, from that right side through the wall, but fighting them from rooftops is actually much scaries, especially as a scav

When i go to water treatment i think of "farm rogues, do quest get out" but as a scav i cant do the first 2 things

[unreal horizon]

most of the time theyre dead by the time you arrive

[ripe viper]

so i dont really know what to do honestly

[woeful spruce]

Just go on the roof, killing rugues as scav isnt bad but you dont really have to do it, they dont atack you really and you can just loot the ones killed by pmcs and then go kill other rogues with that gear, its super easy try it

[unreal horizon]

Shoreline houses, interchange power station, time isn't particularly important, later is better but I doubt people push you for it

[woeful spruce]

The train depot area of woods isnt bad as most people dont care enough to push there

I mostly use red flare to bait players to it to kill them for location specific kill quests

Opening them is rarely worth the risk

[fleet roost]

could somone help me dowing the setup task or just want to hangout
dm me.

[pastel fulcrum]

I need to kill aton of scavs whats the best way to do it within a few hours, Ive been doing factory

[inner sinew]

Woods has a good bit of scavs if you know where to look

[pastel fulcrum]

I killed 23 scavs on woods once

but what im doing rn is a factory raid inbetween scav raids

[inner sinew]

Factory could also but not as many scavs for how long you’d be in there

[bold kernel]

I’d be lucky to kill a single Scav before running into a PMC on Factory.

[placid crag]

is the "sell all" button on scav runs - always using Fence pricing? or best trader pricing?

[bold kernel]

It uses Fence pricing.

[placid crag]

thx

[wraith hemlock]

Hey i bought the standard edition tarkov 4 hours ago. When i have tried to download it from the launcher i states " Game not purchased" - i have the recit, i have payed. restarted the computer and log out and in on both tarkvos website and launcher still nothing. I don't know if this is a recurring problem if so plea tell me

and also if anoyone know to to fix this

[bold kernel]

Does the website say that you own the game?

On your profile page.

[wraith hemlock]

nope

[bold kernel]

And it charged money from your account?

That’s strange.

[wraith hemlock]

ye i have a recit and everything from the same gmail as the website is linced to

[bold kernel]

I would suggest contacting support.

Maybe they can help.

[wraith hemlock]

ye thanks, i have tried not two times however and they arent responding either- but hey thanks for trying to help

[unkempt gulch]

You certain you're downloading the normal EFT and not Arena?

[wraith hemlock]

ye im certain, I will just try to refund it and maby buy it again

why not?

tarkov website

wel i just did

[unreal horizon]

womp womp

[dark trail]

[wraith hemlock]

why would they do that?

fuck me ye

[orchid isle]

bruh i was tellin u to stop then my wifi cut out

rip timing

[wraith hemlock]

can you cancel a refund then?

[orchid isle]

idk ask ur card provider

[unreal horizon]

blud is not mogging

[wraith hemlock]

i will just hope for the best

[unkempt egret]

Either pick a map of your choice and make a loot run that sorta avoids PMC's if possible (or not if you want to bumrush them on streets) or scav factory and rush the extract in the first ten seconds to get a fast scav kit's worth of money out and +0.01 rep

[dark trail]

How much scav value would make a factory run justifiable? 300k+?

[unreal horizon]

imo scavs on factory is just for rep, not for money

[woeful spruce]

Scavs on factory are for getting some money without wasting precious time you could be spending on pmc

Or when you are rerolling them for a specific item

[last bison]

Help how do I fix faluire to eject

The malfuction

[woeful spruce]

First you press 'L' to inspect malfunction then you press shift + 't' to fix

[last bison]

Thx

It keeps breaking

[dark trail]

What durability is it

[last bison]

Oh that's why lol I'll pick up another gun

[woeful spruce]

You can repair it in your stash and it should break less

The lower the durability the more it malfunctions, above 93 durability it cant malfunction at all

[last bison]

Can someone help me get jeagers letter just in and out I don't have a mic though

[orchid elm]

anybody got tips for shooter born on interchange?

I cant find anyone on this map

not even on the extracts

[woeful spruce]

Open kiba and wait. Or sit somewhere in oli and peoole usually come

[hazy veldt]

Factory scav is 10 seconds to 2 minutes for 100-250k guaranteed.

Well assuming you don't count queue time

[woeful spruce]

The problem with interchange sbih is its annoying to do any other way than close range bolt action fights inside the mall. The long range stuff is mostly pointless

Maybe other than right off spawn

[tough widget]

is streets factory marked key worth it? I win most gunfights and have a 55% survival rate and climbing

[orchid elm]

that's a problem with most maps for this task imo

[woeful spruce]

The factory marked is decent, the other one is shit

[orchid elm]

shoreline took a while because I couldnt find anyone, customs took a while because there arent a lot of good sniping spots and you kinda have to take risky fights

[tough widget]

is there a good chance ill make my money back?

or is it super contested

[orchid elm]

i'll probably have to run red dot vpos in the bunker on reserve because finding people on reserve above ground is tough

[reef basin]

we need both for do the quest or just one ?

[woeful spruce]

If you really try you can do it long range on woods, lighthouse, shoreline, reserve, customs or even streets. But yea, many kinda force you to take it close

[tough widget]

both

[reef basin]

rraa shiet

[woeful spruce]

Yea, idk hiw much its going for but you should if you survive most of the raids

[orchid elm]

there are a lot of long sightlines on streets that I see myself sitting in

[tough widget]

1.4 mil right now, I have 12mil currently

[orchid elm]

been looking into it for a while

gonna have to camp on this map because im not gonna be able to run and gun in 20 fps with a bolty

[tough widget]

beluga window 🤤

[woeful spruce]

Yea then go for it. You probably will make money back. And openi.g marked is just fun enough with the thrill of seeing whats inside that its worth just for that

[tough widget]

ooo, didnt think about the fun, thats a good point. and I dont usually get tilted when dying with good loot

[woeful spruce]

Top of tram looking at relax door is also nice

[tough widget]

that too, gotta get to it early in the raid though

[hazy veldt]

Sbih, just spam ears + favorite bolty into chasing shots.

[orchid elm]

or the bushes on the steps to cinema

[hazy veldt]

Unless you care about kd ratio.

[orchid elm]

mostly what I do. Actually finding people to fight is the problem

[nova gust]

What can I do to be able to spot people easier? I find myself getting one tapped by shotguns down the hallway in dorms I could barely see them but they peek out perfectly onto my head or walking through foliage they seem to be able to track me perfectly while I struggle to figure out which way they’re moving to.

[dire rock]

just comes from experience but you can always just try and make sure you dont fight in areas where enemies can easily hide

[unreal horizon]

Flashlight

[nova gust]

Does in game brightness setting affect dark areas?

[unreal horizon]

Yes but I wouldn't use it

Better to use gamma/contrast cause the ingame brightness makes flashlights super bright and vignettes a little

[pastel fulcrum]

sorry it took so long

[dire rock]

whats your vaulting hotkey set to?

[pastel fulcrum]

space bar

but its not all the time

[dire rock]

continuous?

[dark trail]

huh moonshine out of duffel

now i really gotta extract 😓

[dire rock]

send it

[pastel fulcrum]

whatever the default is

why is it only like 1/3 scav raids

[dire rock]

double check its continuous otherwise it might be toggling off and on because you hit space

best guess

[dire rock]

Found out a fix for this or at least this works for me.

If this "auto-vaulting gets stuck" happens, just hold space (or your custom vaulting keybind) and press tab (open your inventory). Release space and close the inventory.

found this

[unreal horizon]

tbh id just rebind it to v or something

[night zealot]

havent played in months am i forgetting something

[dark trail]

To fill your container

[solid wolf]

what are sóme scav spawns on shoreline, stuck on the quest for pk to kill 10 of em while wearing un gear

[night zealot]

i put ibuprofen and m80 in there

it was just cut out

[dark trail]

[weary quartz]

How much money would I need to last a whole wipe

[lofty wave]

u could play 1 raid in a wipe or 1500

[unreal horizon]

please dont do that

[small jungle]

That’s how I completed the ground zero tasks lol

[unreal horizon]

thats my concern

[small jungle]

Pistol at most

[unreal horizon]

ANY gun is miles ahead of no gun

[small jungle]

When poor and don’t wanna do ground zero anymore, u do what u gotta

ESP when you have no idea what’s happening anyways lol

I’m gamer now tho, looted reserve room and killed a chad for all his cool kitted stuff, walked out w his cool ass sr25 and mdr

[unreal horizon]

[austere current]

wtf is up with factory night raids, AI Scav has aimbot and aggro asf

[tidal lagoon]

[austere current]

but they really have aimbot lol

[small jungle]

Only scav ai that consistently ruins my day is tagilla

[austere current]

trying to do health care part 5....

tagilla already smacked me twice

[small jungle]

Minding my own business and suddenly I’m getting blasted, shot like 3 times and I drop lmao

[tough widget]

did they nerf streets loot? all of it has been noticably lackluster for me since the last patch

[unkempt gulch]

It seems like it tbh, loot's just disappeared from streets x.x

[hazy veldt]

if you need it for gunsmith part 7, you can use the 100 round build.

[tough widget]

I havent seen a greenbat or tetris in so long 🥹

I mean hey, just found a bitcoin

[unkempt gulch]

Gz, I've not seen a bitcoin there for a while now xd

[tough widget]

I find them constantly in the second floor of stylobate building in the room in the corner

[unkempt gulch]

Checking there whenever I spawn nearby, just been unlucky then I guess x)

[tough widget]

I also commonly find ledx's in the dining room in pinewood

[unkempt gulch]

Ahh, true, I tend to find them more usual in the med container in Lexos

[hazy veldt]

Streets is just such a busted map

[tough widget]

ive never been into lexos, I gotta try it sometime

[tough widget]

not anymore 🥺

2 weeks ago, all of these would have been greenbats

[dark trail]

Still worth moneys

[chrome shore]

What the fuck

[mellow belfry]

what does the 17/22 mean? on the task lists

I haven't done 17 quests, and I know for a fact he has more than 22

[tidal lagoon]

means u have done 17 of 22 available tasks

is it mechanic

[mellow belfry]

yea

he literally has like 30 gunsmiths by itself

[tidal lagoon]

ye but they arent available to you yet

if u press this u can see what u have completed

and if it adds up to 17

[mellow belfry]

oh

I see what u mean now

I have 5 quests just waiting to be done on him rn

[austere current]

yeah but both mags required lvl3/4 peacekeeeper, im lvl2 (((

need 5 more task to reach lvl3 and they are all pain in the ass

[hazy veldt]

you can buy

100 rounder from flea

[austere current]

let me check, i thought it was ban

[hazy veldt]

60 is banned

100 rounder is 30-50k on flea usually

[austere current]

is not working :S

cant turn in

[edgy plover]

send screenshot

of the inspect screen

[austere current]

100 mag sounds brutal lol

[edgy plover]

Just look at the guide lol

you need 47 or greater ergo

[austere current]

did i miss something?

[edgy plover]

You only have 34

[austere current]

LOL

[tidal lagoon]

u seem to be using the 60 round build with the 100 roumd magazine

[edgy plover]

And you're missing the short barrel

I think that's the main issue

[tidal lagoon]

yes

short barrel and a m7a1pdw stock should fix

[austere current]

whops 😄

[plucky tangle]

can you get banned from playing with a hacker

turns out my friend aimbots 💀

[tidal lagoon]

thats crazy

[austere current]

omg ty ❤️

[edgy plover]

I think it has to be a pretty clear "he's carrying you" sort of deal

but yea, it can happen

[austere current]

task done 😄

[tidal lagoon]

i recommend stop playing with him and not talk about it

some would say report him

[edgy plover]

Yea you should report him too

lmao

[plucky tangle]

he just got banned

[edgy plover]

Why on earth wouldn't you

[plucky tangle]

thats how i figured out

[austere current]

KEKW

[edgy plover]

then you're probably safe

[plucky tangle]

💀

[tidal lagoon]

so now youre fucking up with the part where i said dont talk about it

[plucky tangle]

oops

[weary quartz]

Why am I getting random ping spikes, its fine for a few minutes then proceeds to up to 4k ping

[edgy plover]

you on wifi?

[hazy veldt]

I can't say what I want to say, since it would be against discord policies about advocating for harming other people.

[weary quartz]

yeah

[hazy veldt]

I'd ghost someone like that though.

[edgy plover]

prob on your end

happens to me sometimes

[weary quartz]

weird normally it doesn't happen. Guessing it happens just at random times

[orchid plaza]

Hey guys I’m lv 6 looking for some help with quest this is my 3rd wipe! Just PM me if your down

[plucky tangle]

bro i thought i finally found a good teamate

im sad

[edgy plover]

Yea I fixed it by plugging into an extender, but it might just be a broken server you're on, if it's only one raid

[weary quartz]

do servers apply to one raid or when y ou launch the game?

[plucky tangle]

all the teamates i get on this game are racist toxic people who complain about everything and now hackers 😭

[prisma mango]

hey im very new to the game i was hoping someone would join me to help me.

[undone drum]

Ppl who recieve gear from hackers get bonked too ii heard

[edgy plover]

The region you choose in the launcher apply to every one you play, but each raid is on a different server

[weary quartz]

Well its been happening on multiple raids now

[edgy plover]

Yea probably on your end

Try a different region

[plucky tangle]

my gear didnt come from hackers

i made it from scav runs

💀

[undone drum]

Hey, welcome. Did you played a bit and have specific questions or are you brand new?

[prisma mango]

ive tried to play a little bit but im kinda lost lol

[undone drum]

Report the toxic rascists, help to ban the cheaters

[undone drum]

Check for tarkov beginner guides on YouTube for example from Jessie Kazaam

[plucky tangle]

i posted his stats in here and everyone said he wasnt a hacker

so i kept playing with him

[prisma mango]

okay i will thank you

[undone drum]

He was a smart hacker

[weary quartz]

Man worst time to be having such lag, I’m stuck in the underground parking lot out in the open on interchange

[plucky tangle]

he had like a 15kd

13

[undone drum]

Have specific questions after that? Dont hesitate to post them here

[plucky tangle]

he knew everything about the quest stuff

[undone drum]

What about the toxic rascists? Can you record and report them?

[plucky tangle]

they were not racist in game only in vc

[undone drum]

Dont matter. Report them in a discord ticket

https://discord.com/channels/521608697764380694/813521804710117386

Remember to include evidence like recording

[plucky tangle]

i just need to get some new good teamates that are not toxic or hacking

but that might be hard

[placid shadow]

why would that be hard ?

what serv are you playing ?

[plucky tangle]

na

been making group post

[placid shadow]

well im eu unlucky ^^ but i doubt you'd have much difficulty finding nice people to play with

[plucky tangle]

maybe when im not new

[sudden kindle]

Anyone else who’s kinda new to the game tryna play? Im lvl 19 and my 2nd wipe

[plucky tangle]

how do i install the scope on my gun i need a mount

i bought a mount but it wont attach still no google searches really help

[mint light]

any 34 mm mount

search 34mm

[plucky tangle]

i cant attach the supressor either

[mint light]

need asr mount

[plucky tangle]

what do i look up for it

i look up asr and only get 4 options

[tidal lagoon]

right click, linked search

[plucky tangle]

only flash hiders

[tidal lagoon]

yes

[plucky tangle]

??

do i attach the supressor to the flash hider im confused

[tidal lagoon]

when u got linked search it shows items that are linked to the item u searched for

so the suppressor is linked to the flash hider

and if u do linked search on the flash hider u will find the suppressor and barrels

the flash hider acts as an adapter

[plucky tangle]

oh thats crazy

[tidal lagoon]

same with that scope u had earlier

[plucky tangle]

i didnt know it attaches like that

[tidal lagoon]

if u go linked search on the scope it will show mounts

[plucky tangle]

thats going to be a lot of help

anyone know if i can do anything to make the ergo better

hold up im cooking

[mint light]

the stock and pistol grip suck

stock just tanks ergo

[plucky tangle]

i changed it all

[plucky tangle]

its ugly as hell but are the stats good 💀

i can put a new grip on

i think the pistol grips fine it has 10 ergo

ergo reduces sway right

that was my first ever gun build and its so expensive for what it is lol

not even full auto could of got a m4

[hazy veldt]

dd ecb is a good balance these days, between ergo and recoil, pk3, but not super expensive on flea.

also that scope isn't very popular, but if you like it it's usable.

wish we had some decent 6x-12x fixed zoom scopes that you could run with canted or on scope mount 😦

[drifting yacht]

do i sell my btc to therapist or what els?

[hazy veldt]

therapist yes, but I'd wait until the price goes up.

Unless irl bitcoin price goes down more

like if you don't need the money now, I'd wait a few days, until bitcoin irl goes back to 70k+

[drifting yacht]

ok

ily bbg

[plucky tangle]

why cant i take the mp7 wtf

i drag it to my inventory then it gets put back to the body

BROOO

GIVE ME THE MP7

i cant take the mp7 im pissed

[fossil forum]

Right click and linked search

[orchid isle]

Ur end issue, the mp7 is not there but ur side of the client thinks its still there

[plucky tangle]

what scope should i get

[hazy veldt]

how much do you want to spend? Do you have skier ll4?

LPVO's: Vudu, Razor, Tango, all work.

1x-8x schmiddy bender also works

[plucky tangle]

nah

ill buy on flee

[hazy veldt]

more on a budget / don't want to pay 200k on flea for lpvo since no trader level?
1x-6x Valday.

[thick spade]

better have a few mil saved

[plucky tangle]

i got 8 mil rn

ill just buy the valday

[tidal lagoon]

valday ass

if u got 8 mil buy a nice scope

[plucky tangle]

what do i buy

[tidal lagoon]

vudu

[plucky tangle]

whys this so cheap

[tidal lagoon]

thats still like 100k

and its a piece of shit

[plucky tangle]

thats not worth 228k on flee market

[tidal lagoon]

some would disagree

[slow wave]

yo guys i just checked the wiki, im lvl 25 and have finished the hobo quest for prapor and haven't received the quest for regulated materials am i missing anything else for requirements?

[tidal lagoon]

restart game

[slow wave]

Sick thanks

[plucky tangle]

its a serious upcharge

[rough rain]

do i have to mark the vehicles with an MS2000 marker for revision - reserve? On the quest it just says "Locate and inspect"

[ancient thorn]

tips for finding fuel cond ?

[ancient thorn]

some of them u just have to see, others u have to mark

[rough rain]

ok thanks

[ancient thorn]

if im not mistaken u have to mark 3 or 4 tops

[plucky tangle]

whats better pvs-14 or pnv-10t

[pastel rain]

should i do quest?

[vagrant relic]

im broke and I havent had any good raids all day what should i do.

whenever i sav i get domed to the head by a level 30+

scav

I truly do try but i always end up facing one no matter what

i have been running reserve and customs

very true and plus I cant complete any quests and im getting frustrated that i cant complete any quests.

yes

i mean i know what i need to do for the quest its just that I get close to doing it and either the freaking goons come out of no where or I get domed by a pmc

[little flicker]

my only alternative advice would be try not to overthink it

I got several stupid tasks done this wipe just beelining it to what I need to do

wait around max for a couple seconds every minute or two to check for audio but thats it

[hushed barn]

level 12 first ever wipe anyone wanna raid with me?

[vagrant relic]

I overthink everything. I take my time and wait and i still end up dead af.

[woeful spruce]

I was doing it on woods and it took me so goddamn long, theres so many dead raids or engagements below 80 meters. You kinda have to get lucky on woods. I sugest spicing things up with other maps, i was looking for my last kill for shooter pt4 for ages and went to ground zero and got it first raid there, really good map for it. You can sit at the mg or grenade launcher and get great views of the map, theres tons of other good sniping and countersniping spots too. As for the builds i try to use a high ergo rifle if you can. I did mine with the fancy build of the sv-98, t-5000, or m700 in a chasis system but tbh even mosin can work. For scopes you can use any of the variable optics, one thats relatively cheap and ok for sniping is the valday which you can barter for vodka at high level prapor or just buy for 70k but other more expensive lpvos can be even better

[woeful spruce]

Yea, thats the mg building. Tge grenade launcher building has no barbed wire

[shy crypt]

level 7 first wipe need help with ground zero

luxorious life and saving the mole

yeah i been at it for a couple of days lol

just keep dying and i need to extravt alive

[lunar meteor]

Since support wont help "So, let's say I lived in the US and bought the game, and then for reasons I move to the EU, would I need to buy another copy of the game to play???"

[shy crypt]

@dusty monolith ima try a couple more runs I’m just never know where I’m getting shot from in that map lol

[unkempt gulch]

Emercom is like, 95% of the time camped by someone

[shy crypt]

BIG duestion about the Dsp thingy on lighthouse.

i c 2 players that are aggresiv on the island against the guards. CAN i shoot the Pmc that is on the island and keep myself encoded or do i get decoded cause of me shooting the pmc on the island ?

You get decoded for harming an encoded pmc past the gate of the island or Zryachiy or his cultists friends

So if they are fighting the cultists, they aren’t encoded

[wet bear]

so the status not being encoded is the same as not being accuinted ?

[astral glen]

What

Your transmitter has 3 states, encoded, blocked and decoded

Not owning a transmitter is the same as being decoded

[wet bear]

well if you go out on the island then you are Encoded and Accuinted. But if you kill a guard on the island then you lose the Encoded and lose the Accuinted status to lightkeeper. the official site is a bit wage on the rulings if i can shoot them from the main land or not

[astral glen]

There is no ‘acquainted’ status

You’re confusing something that doesn’t exist with being encoded / decoded

[wet bear]

Harming Zryachiy, one of his followers, or a Lightkeeper acquainted PMC in the lighthouse premises will decode your Digital secure DSP radio transmitter <-- this text confuses me

[astral glen]

Lightkeeper acquainted meaning owning an encoded transmitter

It’s not a status in the game

If they are not past the gate of the bridge you can shoot them regardless of their DSPT status

Because they aren’t on the island

And if they’re killing cultists, they’re not encoded regardless

[wet bear]

Ok next part of the question. if its a duo that are fighting but only one is doing it. does both get decoded ?

[astral glen]

If you are grouped with someone who isn’t also encoded, your DSPT is blocked

You will not be able to cross the bridge without being blown up or shot

And if you shoot a cultist or player personally you’ll be decoded

[wet bear]

but what if you cross the bridge encoded and harm them on island.

[astral glen]

If you’re encoded and you shoot a cultist you will be decoded

I don’t understand

So hang on

You're saying there is a duo killing Zryachiy

[wet bear]

2 players go out. 1 start harming cultis and the other is friendly what happens to the decode and encoded status

[astral glen]

If you shoot a person that has an encoded DSPT in their special slot

You will be decoded and have to do the tasks to encode your DSPT again along with other tasks to make amends

That's it

If they are grouped up with someone who is fighting cultists, they are will be blocked even if their DSPT was encoded before the raid

Because if you group up with people that don't have an encoded DSPT equipped, your DSPT is blocked

[wet bear]

and the blocked will activate the mines on the bridge so he is basicly stuck with angry cultist on the island

[astral glen]

Blocked is the same as decoded for all intents and purpose

It's just temporary for that raid instead of making you do the make amends quests

You're over complicating it

Encoded = green, friendly on the island past the gate

Blocked = yellow, grouped with people who don't have an encoded DSPT

Decoded = red, banned from the island, must do make amends to encode your DSPT

[wet bear]

yeah but the site doesnt say it as clearly as you do when it comes to the things that happens when 1person in a duo is is doing bad stuff.

[astral glen]

It actually explains it very clearly

[wet bear]

or if i can shoot players from main land on the island

[astral glen]

If they are encoded and past the gate of the bridge

You will be decoded for shooting them

If they are not past the gate or are not encoded, you can shoot them

The wiki does explain this very clearly

You even copy and pasted the exact quote of it

It specifically states the "Lighthouse premises"

Which is the area with claymores and cultists and Lightkeeper

[honest hatch]

where is shturmans stash with new sawmill rework 😭

[astral glen]

Same place it was before

[honest hatch]

u sure?

bc i dont see it

nah ur right i just missed it

[austere current]

so many cheaters on shoreline fcking hell

[tacit cosmos]

Guys I have a dilemma: 1080p (140 FPS) or 1440p (80-90FPS). Which one would you pick?

[astral glen]

1440p

[hot plinth]

if you are NEW and want help learning the game and maps Dm me

[plucky crescent]

Is the ingame penetration info innaccurate?

[tidal lagoon]

no

should be fairly accurate

[astral glen]

Penetration is a chance

So yes, the stats are as accurate as they can be

Because the chance changes depending on durability, material, distance etc

[plucky crescent]

Okay well m62 shows "low" against level 5 armor in game, whilst if you look at ammo charts it says its effective against level 5

[tidal lagoon]

well yea but when it says low its thinking whats the chance that 1 bullet of m62 against lvl 5 will penetrate, its low

[lofty wave]

44 pen is about a low chance to pen tier 5

wont do it consistently but could in theory on first shot

[tidal lagoon]

but like if u shoot a few shots it will kill

ammo charts also say effective is like 3-5 shots and very effective 1-3

[plucky crescent]

Penetrates a large percent of the time initially, often quickly going to >90%, very effective it says

Surely "very effective" isnt equivalent to "low?" or am i missing something

also the value for level 6 is also very effective, while ingame it shows very low

If it was accurate wouldnt it show the same value as level 5 and 6?

[tidal lagoon]

2 different parties using different classifications

on the ammo charts very effective is the ability to kill

here its the chance for 1 bullet to penetrate lvl 5 armor

[lofty wave]

i mean ik what it says but like to give u an idea 38 pen m856a1 556 has like a 60-70% (maybe a little higher) chance to pen a tier 4 helmet

on first shot

those websites are just giving u rough estimations

[plucky crescent]

i see

[tidal lagoon]

also u have soft armor to deal with

after penetrating the plate the bullet will be reduced in damage and penetration and then has to go through lvl 2 or 3 soft armor

[lofty wave]

also the how effective bullets are doesnt account for fire rate and shit so like 56a1 out of an hk with 850 rpm is gonna feel a lot better than 56a1 out of an adar just bc of volume of fire

m62 out of an sa58 is gonna feel better full auto 700 rpm then a dvl or smth since its a bolty

[tough widget]

is this spawn a hard spawn? or is this just a common place it find the rusted bloody key?

[tidal lagoon]

its not a 100% spawn but if u want the key thats where u go

[tough widget]

cool, thanks

[brazen swift]

how do i shoot the red flares

[tough widget]

look upwards and click while you're holding it

[astral glen]

Don't look straight up though

[brazen swift]

thank you

[brazen swift]

how do i hold it? i still cant shoot it

[tough widget]

I think you can double click it in your inventory, or bind it to a number key, then press the key when out of your inventory

[tough widget]

also what map are you on? some maps dont let you have airdrops

[brazen swift]

it worked, thank you...i am in woods but off line raid to just try it

[tough widget]

ahh ok

[radiant maple]

anyone else stuck on loot pools as a scav?

[late fossil]

any clue where i spawned?

[distant fable]

road to customs extract

[late fossil]

thanks 😄

[distant fable]

np

should i stop using lvl4 armor and take level 5s at this stage of the wipe ? or its fine still

[unreal horizon]

imo you should always use the best available

[lofty wave]

if u got level 5 use it

[unreal horizon]

with the limited ammo availability 4 to 5 is a pretty substantial jump

[lofty wave]

difference between getting 2 tapped by m80 or 5 tapped

pretty significant

[distant fable]

okok i see thanks boys

[mossy nacelle]

if i throw my insuranced weapon into the water do i get it back later?

[tough widget]

yeah, assuming that you either die, or extract from the raid (after dropping it into water)

[mossy nacelle]

alr thanks

[dry flint]

Factory on the weekends is fun

[dark trail]

lmfao

[lofty wave]

that is a hof clip my god

[dry flint]

Some context: I only had 2 mags for the VPO, both mags top loaded with 2 APM rounds each. He did not damage me, it was a scav. He pushed me since I made noise killing the scav that wounded me, so with nothing to lose, I pushed him further.

Since this was for part 8, I did not bring much meds just a Car kit and 2 Cats and a morphine. The scav fucked me up good.

[flat dune]

how long in a raid do you have to be for it not to be a run through

[late fossil]

im prety sure u have to be in the raid for 7 min

[late fossil]

wtf XD

[distant fable]

u need 300 xp to not be a run through, you can extract in less than 7 minutes if u kill 2 scavs and loot em

[dry flint]

Reminder to bring sufficient amount of mags especially if you are using a fast firing weapon like an SMG

[hardy hound]

i was stuck at synchronising on scav

[unreal horizon]

🦀

bro is fighting actual morons

[dry flint]

What do you expect me to do there lol, They were throwing nades like crazy and 1 guy had a GL. I was there first because I got the bunker spawn

and got cornered between the 2 groups

I just wanted to kill rogues

[earnest citrus]

is gunsmith 8 bugged? built the gun from the wiki with a fir gun any tips?

[unreal horizon]

durability

[weary quartz]

Any tips on how to fight against these lvl 40-50 pmcs? Not very fun when you’re new and is lvl 7

[unkempt egret]

Best to post a screenshot in weapon modding and let others have a look at what might be wrong

[unreal horizon]

shoot head if you have trash ammo, legs if you have trash aim

[earnest citrus]

figured it out thx though

[unkempt egret]

Still good as a rule of thumb

[orchid isle]

Shoot their face, im level 10 fighting guys with maxed gear and i just have to shoot face enough

cqcm mask is p op its tanking all my shots but if they got that just aim legs

[pastel fulcrum]

is the weapons case worth it

[austere hound]

Not really. Just use the weapon rack until you get thicc cases

[pastel fulcrum]

I thought the weapon rack was ass

[unreal horizon]

depends how you use it

if its for guns no, if you're using it for scopes and suppressors wcase is good

[austere hound]

I mean it's essentially a cheap and early thicc weapons case

It's just a tad more time consuming to use

[pastel fulcrum]

ive got 13m 34mil stash value rn

[weary quartz]

If only it was easy as that. I get one taped the second I see them.

[unreal horizon]

position better ig

they shouldnt be seeing you

[austere hound]

Maybe stick to Ground Zero to get more practice against pmcs at your level. Positioning & awareness are huge though

[unreal horizon]

nah get out of gz asap, its only good for questing

[orchid isle]

Its hard I admit, I have to try to kill them and as a new player i doubt u can do much

[austere hound]

Pscavving & chasing shots is also a good risk-free way to practice fighting while under geared

Just do smaller maps

Customs or reserve are usually good for it if you want to pmc hunt

[orchid isle]

I’m comfortable fighting anyone without face protection but most ppl run it now

[pastel fulcrum]

I have 300 hours and i killed a whole factory lobby going in with a double barrel

I was like 110kg

[weary quartz]

Honestly I shouldn’t be fighting at all, I should just focus on my quest

[austere hound]

Eh, it's a fun map. It fits his scenario if he doesn't care about loot and just wants to practice pvp too

[unreal horizon]

sure but you dont improve playing against trash players

[austere hound]

Then do that instead. Experience is the only way to get better both for tasking and pvp

[orchid isle]

Honestly gz is useless other than fighting new players

I finished gz quests in 3 raids

since theres no loot there you wont make money

[austere hound]

Honestly, if he's getting insta one-tapped every fight, he has to start somewhere

[flat dune]

whats the best gun to run a flir on, stacked some up through killing ppl and wanna use em

[light latch]

how come this guy didnt die from this spray? is armor that effective (it was lv 3 with 64/128 durability left after i killed him later), shooting through the glass reducing damage, mixture of both? just booted up the game again after a while and dont really have much game knowledge

its a pp91 with shit tier ammo (PM P gzh) but does armor really block that many shots?

[unreal horizon]

mdr or something

[flat dune]

he most likely had high tier armor or the ammo u use just doesnt penn

idk the specific pen on pm p but ik most 9x18 ammo sucks

[unreal horizon]

half your shots went into the wall and half went into his stomach

[light latch]

yeah definitely no pen, armor was lv 3 with 64/128 durability left

[flat dune]

theres no chance it pens that, aim for legs or arms with kedr

[unreal horizon]

tbh never aim arms, legs have a higher multiplier

[flat dune]

yeah

if u run the kedr dont expect almost any of its ammo to pen anything

[austere hound]

Kedr is a leg gun

[light latch]

ok gotcha, havent really come across any games with armor systems like this but basically just dont shoot stuff you cant pen

[austere hound]

Gotta blow out them kneecaps

[light latch]

it really takes like 30+ shots to break armor your ammo is ineffective against though?

[austere hound]

Yep. Also, general rule is higher flesh damage = lower pen and higher pen = lower flesh damage

[unreal horizon]

depends on so many things

[weary quartz]

Alright fuck this going in with no gear, so I don’t waste so much money each time

[light latch]

i was surprised his armor had half durability left after i killed him

[flat dune]

if u go in with literally nothing ur gonna get marked

[unreal horizon]

but with 9x18 just aim legs, they'll be dead in <10 shots

[flat dune]

9x18 can fry people but not their armor

[austere hound]

Only ends up ensuring your death even more frequently

[light latch]

like intuitively it felt like if that spray didnt kill him it should have at least wrecked the armor

[unreal horizon]

it did

[flat dune]

it fucked the armor up not him

[unreal horizon]

you took half the armors dura, and half your bullets didnt even hit him

[flat dune]

💀

[unreal horizon]

kedr just needs to hit face or legs to be successful

[weary quartz]

I die either way so its fine

[pastel fulcrum]

I mean the weapon rack is like 600k for lvl one how many guns does it hold

[unreal horizon]

do what you want, but you'll never improve bringing in nothing

[austere hound]

Level 1 is 9x6 with 2 sides

[pastel fulcrum]

so two 9x6 containers?

[austere hound]

So 3 short rifles and 3 long rifles on each side

[austere hound]

Yes

[weary quartz]

As long I have a gun I can improve, doesn’t matter what gun it is

[unreal horizon]

exactly

you can always hit a lucky shot, but you wont get lucky with a knife lol

[light latch]

is the durability on armor a health system where durability remaining = no pen until theres 0 durability

[flat dune]

pretty much

if theres no durability on plate im pretty sure its just useless

[unreal horizon]

its really complicated but to generalize, lower durability is higher chance to pen, even if your bullet cant pen that armor

[light latch]

gotcha and likewise if theres any durability left nothing will get through

oo ok

so its not full stop pen or no pen

[unreal horizon]

like for example if a lvl 4 armor is 10% dura, and you shoot a bullet with 35 pen, it'll more than likely pen it 1st shot

[light latch]

should i just be aiming head then when im running shit tier ammo

like not even bother shooting center mass

[woeful spruce]

Yes

[flat dune]

head or legs

[woeful spruce]

You might have a chance to pen soft armor around the plate even with shit rounds but its not a consistent of winning fights

[flat dune]

if ur running hella low pen ammo just aim for one leg, black it, then keep spraying till they dead

[light latch]

👍 i almost feel like just hitting the head is easier than legs if both are exposed, how come people aim legs?

[flat dune]

black out limbs damage whole body
