#

whats the best thing to put into scav case? is it still worth it nowadays?

woeful sluice
#

i usually put my moonshine in there is that not worth it?

remote kettle
woeful sluice
#

i always thought intelligence and moonshine can get you the best stuff

#

ill try it

woeful spruce
slender dew
#

you can get good stuff but you'll certainly lose money with intel or moonshine overall. 95k is the best bet

thanks for the info guys

its been more than 10 hours since i handed in my lightkeeper quest but he still hasn't given me the next one.

I have not died or done a run through in this time so the timer shouldn't have been reset?

Audio has so many deadzones this wipe

#

Sometimes theres just a monkey behind me no Sound at all

orchid dagger
#

dont even get me started on head throat

#

whats even the point in wearing an altyn

fervent raft
#

Theres none

undone drum
#

all lvl 4

fervent raft
#

Cqcm makes sense, cause Its cheap and you Can still hear, when audio works

orchid dagger
fervent raft
#

But altyn is useless with throat box

spiral elk
#

this requires a quest

fervent raft
#

Yes

orchid dagger
#

after the 4th time i died with a l191 round to the throat i swore id just hoard my altyns ready for when they "address the throat hitbox"

fervent raft
#

Its worth it tho

undone drum
fervent raft
#

Theres dead zones all the time

#

Like where a person just doesnt make sound

#

And vertical Sound doesnt exist

#

It sounds like everyone is on the same floor

Mate you havent really played maingame

#

I had altyn and kiver

#

And i died to one quakemaker from a pistol

#

Early wipe

#

Zebralo and kiver

#

Sorry

#

I was doing a task

#

The throat box is ass

#

But armor is also a bit too stronk rn

#

So idk

#

How they should balance it

the baggarly tanks so many shots lol

how do i use the voice chat in game ?

woeful spruce
# hexed gate how do i use the voice chat in game ?

You need to find in the keybinds a keybind for enabling/disabling VOIP(voicechat) and you will be able to turn it on or off in matches. When its on you just use the key assigned to use voicechat to speak

#

So you need check those 2 keybinds and you can start talking shit

orchid dagger
#

brooo what you cant shoot people on lighthouse island? 😭

#

just killed a guy and got killed by the bosses

#

the guy i killed just added me and said "goodluck doing it all over" what does that mean? can i not go back?

woeful spruce
orchid dagger
#

they only shot me when i killed him

woeful spruce
#

But unlikely

orchid dagger
#

oh i see what u say now

#

so i should be able to kill someone on it?

woeful spruce
#

I think you should unless they have that thing bought from lightkeeper or your shots are close enough to zryachi for him to interpret them as you shooting at him

orchid dagger
#

omg i cant go back until i hand over 4 svds ;/

hexed gate
#

how to know if i was killed by scav or pmc

#

and do achievments stay even after the wipe ?

stiff cape
woeful spruce
# hexed gate how to know if i was killed by scav or pmc

If a pmc kills you have the option to report him and his account name is his name. If a playerscav kills you you have the option to report him and he has a scav name and then his account name in brackets after it and if a regular ai kills you he only has his scav name and no option to report

exactly!

plush moat
#

do i need 1 or more

round stag
#

i've needed only 1 so far, but having spares isn't a bad idea because you have to bring it on to map to stash it, and you can't secure it

plush moat
#

ah ok

#

sure gonna die with that shit XD

#

nearly died killing the goons for that XD

loud crystal
#

whats a good way about making money once u hit flea? does pve mode change the flea market at all like whats valuable and whats not, been checking out pve with some buddy's

plush moat
#

PvE has difrent prices but about the same

#

just do the same as in PvP

loud crystal
#

my money making method for pvp cuz i never got super late into a wipe, was run streets on scav go check the drawers in that one area by the car dealership then leave and sell on flea whati got, mostly nuts and bolts unless i got lucky and got something else lol

#

what are some good money making methods on PMC?

#

with low lvl traders and flea

plush moat
#

there are a lot of diffrent ways
i like Factory (if you are good at killing AI PMC's) and just take there whole shit and sell it all cause 1 raid doesnt last long
or loot runns like streets etc

guards at lexos are shooting at me from tarbank

shld i just work on main tasks and ignore mortar strike event ones ? or shld i participate as a new player

#

also how tf am i supposed to get the radar spare parts if it keeps shooting mortar missiles

bold kernel

honestly if its fun for you id do them

you can hear the shoots and then the impact

how does bleeding work? if i hit someone but the ammo doesnt penetrate the armor, can they get bleeding?

So you either take a high dmg buckshot shotgun or super high firerate smg with dmg ammo amd you can kill a chad in class 6 armor if you play it well

#

yeah streets is nuts

woeful spruce
#

But leg meta requires a specific sneaky playstyle you cant just run atvpeople and duel head on with people with pen rounds

split sedge
#

you dont gotta be sneaky to leg meta

#

at all

umbral widget
#

oh shit thats easy

#

IM STILL GATEKEPT BY A SHMASKA

woeful spruce
#

But shots to kill on leg meta will always be more on leg meta than on a pen build so you will be at a disadvantage. Also if they lean from behind a corner youre kinda fucked

umbral widget
radiant swan
#

Anyone have a pkp they can lend me?

split sedge
#

whil yes but you make up for that by using extremely high rpm smgs so they still die in one second

radiant swan
#

Streets runs crap for me

split sedge

its hilarious seeing them faceplant after shooting their legs with vector

Vector is hands down the best for legging

bold kernel
#

how many hours

#

even know i know the answer prolly but

topaz meteor
#

ngl I feel like most cheaters at this point are probably smart enough to tank their KD intentionally so that they dont look as sus after killing someone. People who have their KD super high and are cheating I feel are the ones that are easiest for BSG to hunt out and ban

#

With that said, someone with a 65.38 KD is almost certainly cheating unless they are the biggest rat in the world lol

split mantle
#

best gaming chair

cursive dagger
#

80 raids tho

topaz meteor

#

20

topaz meteor
#

Hm

#

Probably a cheater tbh, but could be a guy just playing extremely ratty and mainly only killing scavs

#

id give it like a 90% chance of cheater

#

10% chance of super ratty player

#

People who are good chads will usually have around a 10KD, 65KD just isnt possible if you are fighting constantly unless you are either ratting or cheating even if you are a very good player who wins most of their fights

Sooo I guess I learnt the hard way on reserve. I'm fine with it, but you really can die from 2 shotguns shots in the leg ??? That succccks ! I mean, I couldn't stand a chance here. I barely saw him πŸ˜„ Fcking rat

First hit leg blacked out, second hit dead. Game says I died from the leg with Magnum.

#

Even now I have 6KD with my PMC, first wipe ever (lvl 32 250h)

bold kernel
remote kettle
#

400 damage/salvo max

sick crater
#

Since damage is spread to other members after blacked out, whats the point of going with T6 armor and bastion...

#

I mean, better going out naked with shotguns, 50k stuff wins with no brain against 400k stuff

abstract harness
#

cause most people aren’t leg meta

#

and better gear gives you a higher survival chance

#

but no one said it would make you invincible

I'm level 21 lmao

8k at the very minimum per slot

so if it's a 2x2 item, but only sells for 25k, that's only like 6k per slot

and therefore not worth picking up

they spawn at that checkpoint slightly up and to the left of those rocks, and spawn at the gas station slightly up and to the right

hushed wigeon
#

would someone be able to give some gameplay advice

drifting jolt
hushed wigeon
#

want to see if you could advise my movement during this fight

#

i heard them ahead on the right, yet had lower ground, so i kinda pushed up a weird angle

drifting jolt
kindred pebble
#

need some gamers to help me with a quest dm me for info

drifting jolt
#

second, i wouldnt have pushed someone knowing you have only a pistol

hushed wigeon
#

i had the m700, just didnt think id do well with a bolt at close range

drifting jolt
#

If anything, I would have stayed where you were, and looked for them with your scope

hushed wigeon
#

i see

drifting jolt
#

you cant push people out in the open

#

with a pistol or bolt action

hushed wigeon
#

so should only really push if its in my favor

drifting jolt
#

you need to be 'reactionary'

#

not pushing

hushed wigeon
#

i see

drifting jolt
#

also... you could use a shotgun as a sidearm instead of a pistol

hushed wigeon
#

true

drifting jolt
#

bc 90% of your shotguns will come back in insurance, cause no one wants it

#

and is more deadly

hushed wigeon
#

i got those from a quest reward

#

but im not that good with bolt

drifting jolt
#

AND if all else fails, shoot them in the leg, to potentially black their legs and make them slow

#

gives you time to kill them or run away, if theyre not on painkiller already

kindred pebble
#

need some gamers to help me with a quest dm me

drifting jolt
#

doing this with a shotgun im saying, not the pistol

hushed wigeon
#

is there any situation in which i should take the initiative

drifting jolt
#

Dont push fights when you have 0 intel...

#

you didnt even know what that guy had for a kit

hushed wigeon
#

ye

drifting jolt
#

it's better to take fights you know you have a chance of winning, rather than turning the corner into 3 chads staring back at you

#

dont let the scent of a kill cloud your judgement

#

it's better to live without a kill then die

#

you could have stayed in that spot, and slowly stalked the player

hushed wigeon
#

what wouldve been the best way to disengage from that

#

thats what i was thinking, but i didnt like the idea of trying to backtrack in open field

drifting jolt
#

hmm, probably turn around and run away, get around that previous hill, and then scope back in

#

but unfortunately, you were kind of in a bad spot altogether

hushed wigeon
#

so hug closer to this area

drifting jolt
#

you didnt have much chance of winning that, bc yyou both heard each other

hushed wigeon
#

yeah

#

i didnt expect anyone from that side because i had cleared the spawns on the right side of the map

drifting jolt
#

@hushed wigeon i mean, when retreating, always think about what's behind you ebtween you and your enemy

hushed wigeon
#

oh

drifting jolt
#

if there's buildings or tree or boxes near you, keep those between you and your enemy

hushed wigeon
#

i see

drifting jolt
#

you want to minimize the amount of time theyre looking at the back of your head lol

hushed wigeon
#

yeah

#

back on the ADS, is there a way to kinda practice doing so

drifting jolt
hushed wigeon
#

ok

#

i think i will reset my mental by doing a night shoreline raid

drifting jolt
#

boo

hushed wigeon
#

without the blueberry armor

#

i cant find scavs when i wanna

drifting jolt
#

i hate shoreline

hushed wigeon
#

5 of these were done in a single raid

#

then ive only managed to find one other today

hushed wigeon
drifting jolt
#

i dont even like to play labs

hushed wigeon
#

i want the intel 3 item lol

#

the few times ive played were not exactly the longest

drifting jolt
#

you need great bullets and great armor and helmet

#

if you dont have those 3 things, dont go

#

UNLESS... you could be a total rat, and take in like a double barrel shotgun, or a Kedr-B with a shit ton of mags and PSV ammo

#

and try to zero-to-hero basically

#

but it still costs 180k to get in, and you dont get insurance

hushed wigeon
#

well i wanna see if anyone in the server would be willing to help me out

#

someone like shep for ex

#

just dont wanna be a dead weight

drifting jolt
hushed wigeon
#

wait this isnt bad

#

or the bitcoin barter

hushed wigeon
#

drifting jolt
#

and can get 1 a day

drifting jolt
#

a saiga 12 with drum mags and flechette is fun too

#

flechette wrecks high tier armor

hushed wigeon
#

interesting

#

saiga is viable?

drifting jolt
#

i mean, 20 round of flechette to the chest will kill anything

#

can 2 or 3 level 5 armor

#

2 or 3 tap*

#

or load it with magnum buck, and spam faces or legs

hushed wigeon
#

oh

drifting jolt
#

if youre going only for legs, use RIP rounds

#

leg meta is viable in Labs, cause there's not a lot of waist high cover

hushed wigeon
#

mm ok

drifting jolt
hushed wigeon
#

ive made one exactly like that but with a different scope

drifting jolt
#

drum mags are only like 35k

hushed wigeon
#

it was fun

drifting jolt
#

@hushed wigeon Get this rig, and you can get away with 1 20 rounder, and 2 or 3 10 rounders

hushed wigeon
#

oo

#

i forgot about that one

drifting jolt
#

@hushed wigeon the shotgun mags also reload faster than regular bullets too

#

so even if you pump through your 20 rounder, you can refill it in like 10 seconds

hushed wigeon
#

i think ill do shotgun lol

drifting jolt
#

shotguns are a ton of fun, and very deadly in tarkov

#

this is the onyl game that gets shotguns right

#

you can even 'snipe' with shotguns... Get a tri-hawk 3x scope, and slugs, and get 100+ meter headshots

#

someone even killed a rogue on lighthouse with a shotgun, with slugs, from the opposite end of the map on top of hte mountain

#

saw a clip on YT somewhere

hushed wigeon
#

that seems uh

#

πŸ’€

#

a little wild for a shotgun

drifting jolt
#

he had to aim very hhigh up lol

#

it was a bit ridiculous, but it is what it is

hushed wigeon
#

well ty for helping me out with that

drifting jolt
#

cause it's cheap

hushed wigeon
#

true

#

ill try to get some fellow flesh shields

drifting jolt
#

lol

nocturne mortar
#

can anyone give me some tips on how to approach pvp? always seem to find myself in the most disadvantageous positions possible

drifting jolt
#

Dont turtle up, constantly reposition, if they know where you are, theyre going to hear you no matter what you do... so staying moving makes them constantly have to reposition to get better aim themselves

#

dont hold angles the enemy will expect

#

Fire more bullets than less... newer players seem to be nervous to shoot

upbeat elk
drifting jolt
#

it's better to have less strong bullets and shoot 2x as many

#

more shots down range the better

#

plus, if you shoot very little, and dont move, im gonna know youre scared

#

and im going to exploit it

#

but firing a lot more, even if you dont hit the target, lets them know you mean business

#

also, can also mag dump towards them, but then turn and run, cause either you have good loot or perhaps a quest item you dont wanna die with

#

Never take a fight you cant win

#

killing a 3 man is awesome, but you need very specific circumstances to come out on top in a situation like that

nocturne mortar
#

thank you very much, i realize that for the most part i tend to do the opposite of what you are saying i should do so this helps quite a bit

drifting jolt
#

but if youre weapon isnt surpressed, youre going to be detected even more quickly

#

also, dont camp in places with only one exit (this usually applies to being indoors, unless it's an outdoor choke point or something)

#

you dont wanna be camping in a room the size of a grenade's blast

#

you legitimately shouldnt really be camping at all, unless youre going for sniper kills or need kills in a certain area, basically unless the game is asking you to camp

#

Being more 'active' might get you killed a bit more at first, but after a while it will feel a lot better.'

#

And as you learn the typical PMC pathing, then youll be able to make educated decisions about avenues to travel across the maps in order to avoid players as much as possible

#

or the opposite

#

@nocturne mortar Can you run streets?

nocturne mortar
#

not very comfortable with it but yes?

drifting jolt
#

learn to scav it, take note of all filing cabinets, and loot all of them that you can, and extract

#

there are probably close to 100 filing cabinets on the map

#

and have the best loot pools of the things that are 'easy' to loot as a scav

#

id say 1 in 50 filing cabinets I loot has a labs card, and maybe 1 in 75 has documents with intel

#

180k for the card, and 400k for the documents on the flea market

#

and you can loot 25-30 filing cabinets, if not other loot along the way

#

each time you scav it

#

after 5-10 scav runs youll have a decent idea of places for the cabinets

#

and other loot... i guarantee that if you have at least 30+ slots on your scav

#

youll make at least 2 mil on the flea market worth in 5 surviving raids

#

ive made about 6 million on streets only scaving today

#

just bullshitting along the way, and didnt fight anyone

nocturne mortar
#

oh wow, didn't realize the money that can be made there. Ill def load into streets next scav run

drifting jolt
#

got killed once, but it happens

#

check anything that looks office ish

#

or that isnt like a restaurant or market

nocturne mortar
#

so cabinets, pcs, etc?

drifting jolt
#

yup, any duffles and any toolboxes too

#

checking those 4 items only will still make you a ton

#

as you learn what stuff is worth, you can continue looting when youre full if you know that some of your shit isnt worth much

nocturne mortar
#

okay got it, i nomrally skip duffles so thats good to know

drifting jolt
#

then loot more and drop the shitty stuff and fill it with the better stuff

#

but only do that if there's loot like near you extract

#

dont go wandering when youre full on loot

#

better to survive with mediocre loot

#

instead of dying with great loot

potent compass
#

anyone that did create a distraction part 2 did u have to wait some time until the great heights quest and rep transfer to arena ?

have you refreshed the store or restarted your game?

I'm not on my computer rn so I can't post a kit but its basically just whatever I have or like an UZI from peacekeeper

I can't right now sorry

undone drum
#

no worries, do it later

alpine saddle
#

Okay

undone drum
#

headphones help a lot to anticipate, where people are

alpine saddle
#

Yeah I always run headsets

undone drum
#

any except GGsh are allright

#

Another thing is you are propably suffering from being too predictable.
If you shoot scavs on the way to extract: players can hear it and anticipate your path

alpine saddle
#

Okay

undone drum
#

Customs is specially full of chockepoints

#

where ppl tend to wait, if they hear anyone fighting

alpine saddle
#

Yeah I know

#

I only got like 600 hours I'm not very good at the game :/

undone drum
#

movement is key in tarkov. If you fought, made noice, move. DonΒ΄t loot to long on one place

#

1 min max after shooting is already to much

alpine saddle
#

Okay

undone drum
#

donΒ΄t move on predictable paths: donΒ΄t move from spawn to hot zone areas (quests, loot) and from there to extracts.
Choose unpredictable paths

alpine saddle
#

I do that a lot on woods

#

Thats my main map

#

or shoreline

undone drum
#

woods is great

#

Shoreline is a good example of how people spawn and camp the path to resort from other spawns

alpine saddle
#

Yeah thats happened to me before

#

Last wipe

undone drum
#

Overall: always ask yourself in small and big things: i am to predictable? Do it in fights, do it in overall moving around the map.
Movement is the key, map knowledge is the key

alpine saddle
#

Okay, I know most things about maps its just everything else I need to improve on

undone drum
#

map knowlegde also means to now timing: at what time to expect people where

alpine saddle
#

Yeah I know the player spawns on my main maps

undone drum
#

if you die on a map 1000 times you learn 1000 different points on where to expect enemies

alpine saddle
#

Yeah

#

Whenever I get into pvp I always die to a second player

#

First one most of the time dies :/

edgy plover
# faint rain why?

It's a blocky item that can't form fit in smaller spots, so even though you get more space it's a big block instead of small items that are easier to tetris into place. You store your stuff inside containers, meaning you can't easily see everything you have, and that results in crowding.
There's some psychological effect where people don't like pulling from containers that are full, it's weird.
And if your stash gets full, if you have a bunch of full rigs in there, it takes FOREVER to sort it out. Other reasons as well, but you do you.

#

It's a classic mistake
