[errant pier]

How many gpus and bitcoins are needed for hideout? I was able to find one of each (pve).

Also is it always best to sacrifice things to cultists?

[wary valley]

are there any good morphine farming places besides medcamp in woods n crackhouse in customs

[grave thistle]

Just got a Terragroup labs access keycard, what do?

[topaz forge]

save it for the quest, sell it, or use it

just pick which one is more important to you right now

[lone pier]

im trying to figure out how to shoot a gun fast like why do i have to tap

[kindred grotto]

yes

[topaz forge]

wdym

[wooden kelp]

can anyone help me with farming number 1 im in oce

[slender dew]

are you meaning how to change to full auto if the gun allows it?

[somber falcon]

Can someone check where I went wrong on gunsmith part 1?

looks fine to me :/

[hot shadow]

is AP bullets good?

i found 10 in someone's mag

[wind pine]

there's a lot of different AP rounds

[livid lake]

Has anyone had an issue with tarkov stuttering everytime you shoot

I have a 7800xt, r5 7600x, 32gb of ddr5 ram, and a 850 watt psu

[mystic basin]

How do you counter the "friendly" groups of people who invite you and then instantly kill you at the start of the raid?

These guys for instance.

[hot shadow]

it says AP63

[mystic basin]

Does BP ammo work for that?

[mint light]

you dont join them

[hot shadow]

?

[mystic basin]

holy shit, thats a good idea

[mint light]

thats not like me fucking with you you are not suggested to join random people you dont know

nothing stops them from killing you and i doubt they want to drag some random guy along out of the goodness of their heart

[topaz forge]

yea dont join people using the in game lfg

most people are looking for a cheap kill

use the lfg channels here and youll have a much better experience

[topaz forge]

ap6.3 is decent

generally ap is really good but it depends on the caliber

9x19 ap 6.3 is usable to a degree but it takes a lot to punch through any armor higher than t4, even t4 takes a bit

[mint light]

the head spray and hope no ulach ammo

[topaz forge]

exactly

[woeful mortar]

I wish I could make more complex Mag Presets, I'm currently trying to save money and only use the ammo I have around (Also saving my nice armor pening ammo) and I didn't have enough M8 to fill out all 3 mags so I figured that using this configuration would help save on some ammo 6 rounds in each mag so thats 18 rounds saved in total honestly really poor numbers but I'm honestly happy with the set up. But I can't make a configuration this complex with this many steps and kinda disappointing to me since I like it and it makes me feel like im saving ammo lol

[dull steppe]

what armor is this?

thanks

[normal echo]

All of it is important

[normal echo]

Brother saving literal pennies

You have 3 mil buy some ap 63 ffs

Wait its pve as well

[unique mantle]

#pvp-lfg use this

[bold kernel]

running it now

[fringe plinth]

should i turn woods folder into skier or therapist?

[normal echo]

Skier IMO

[fringe plinth]

bet that’s what i was thinking

[normal echo]

I always end the wipe with therapist having the highest rep

[orchid jackal]

hey can someone help me with the saving the mole quest on ground zero? can't make it out with the hard drive

[marsh wagon]

i just got 2 moonshine from my cultist circle, it was a 6 hour cultist circle (400k sacrificed) but i dont have any quests including moonshine?

[lofty salmon]

lf someone to play with i just started yesterday

[normal echo]

Scav case needs em

also im really good at shooting

[dark parrot]

Is it normal that sometimes you come across a filing cabinet that is completely empty? I am positive I was there first. Spawned close to crack house and held it for a while

[midnight crane]

Hey guys! Will upgrading my RAM prevent my game from crashing while loading into a raid

I have 16 gb now, a GTX 1660 TI, and a i7 10700KF

So I should probably upgrade GPU, right?

[wind pine]

yes

sometimes the whole row won't have any items

[elder python]

just lost tons of loot cause i was 2 seoncds late for exti

someone please help me get loot man im struffling hard

fkn saddddge

literally two seconds late

[dark parrot]

ok thx

[dark parrot]

I upgraded from 16 to 32 and it did help some with performance. I can't say for sure if it would help the crashing though. Possibly though. I loaded into a raid and 90% of my 32 was being used yesterday. I did memory clear in settings and it was good, but if I had 16 I may have crashed out

[dark parrot]

dont sweat it dude, you will get there. Loot is plentiful, just gotta get back in there

[elder python]

ughh

[midnight crane]

What GPU do you have?

[wind pine]

check dm bro

Here you go this will tell you

[errant pier]

Are scavs usually cracked out of their minds. I was in PvE and got like headshot from like half a mile away in Ground Zero lol. Trying to complete the scientist and usec pmc quest and keeping to scavs in PvE

[primal rock]

Yes they have aimbot.

Normal for them to do this.

[errant pier]

Dear lord they’re no joke

Ty

[primal rock]

Anytime

[bold kernel]

whats the point of leveling up traders after level 15, if you have access to flea market?

genuine question

[tidal lagoon]

u get them for a bit cheaper too, it used to be way cheaper but item flipping has destroyed the prices

less incentive to get traders now but still a big advantage

[bold kernel]

how long does it take yall to get traders level 2?

[native oyster]

needing assistance with "The door" task if anyone can help or run a few runs with me to try and get the key

[wind pine]

its crazy rare

just check it when you're there on ur scav or pmc but don't cross your fingers lol

[unkempt egret]

Best bet to keep asking in lfg till you find someone who has it, I completed it with five people way back.

[plain plank]

was this a player scav thnat killed me?

[primal rock]

Yes.

With the username on the side of the actual scav name it was a player scav.

It also has a report and profile button future making you tell it’s a pscav

[plain plank]

Okay good to know, thank you

[unborn cedar]

i cant smooth crouch or select what keycard i want to use when i go into the keycard slide in locations on labs

i tried resetting my game and it still doesnt work

its the scrollwheel that doesnt work at all what could i do?

[rancid pond]

Can some one help me through a couple raids I have 4000 rub and nothing left I really need some help 😂

[undone drum]

is your scav ready?

[sharp summit]

go factory on scav or lighthouse always gets me around 250k

i just went myself

[undone drum]

totally agree

[sharp summit]

damn highest ive got was only 1.5m

[reef wedge]

whats the firework flare for?

[normal echo]

it was dropping during christmas event, it should act like a red flare right now

as it did before

[reef wedge]

does it work on any map @normal echo

and is the loot good

[normal echo]

no the loot is just like a regular airdrop which are 90% shit

[normal echo]

idk if it even works, you should try it

not every map works though

factory and ground zero and obviously labs dont function

[wintry depot]

what I did wrong here

[pearl furnace]

You weren't in the flare area before you fired the flare. Gotta wait to see the message in the bottom right before using the flare.

[wintry depot]

it showed up\

12 second

[pearl furnace]

Didn't see it on the recording, but I believe you. It's been bugged since 0.16, too, so flares seem to be a bit hit or miss lately. Sorry for your luck.

[wintry depot]

12 second timestamp I mean

[pearl furnace]

Also, at that timestamp, you walk in and out of the flare zone. When you fired, the message was gone.

[wintry depot]

So if it dissapear I need to reenter till it show up and do it as long as it is on my screen?

[pearl furnace]

Yes. Has to be on screen.

[wintry depot]

omg really? LMAOO

why its like this

[rancid pond]

Ok for sure thanks man

[pearl furnace]

Cause BSG.

[wintry depot]

previously i fired higher and killed me too

idk

its like all in this game is dice rolling

maybe it will work maybe not

maybe its me

This game dont like me

[rancid pond]

I felt that 😂

[wintry depot]

It randomly kicks me out of raids and i lose all my loot

I lost audio many times

When i fired, i moved to the message area

[normal echo]

you weren't in the area

it popped up, you stepped back out of the area

also the angle was pretty low on the flare

[faint rain]

[brisk raft]

What do i do with empty fuel cans?

[unkempt egret]

Any tips for farming cultists on pve? What map do people prefer?

[slender dew]

personally Customs

[pearl ether]

Whats the spawnrate for cultists on pve?

[jovial cedar]

Invisible BTR fixed yet?

[sinful crag]

i died to invis btr couple raids ago :p

[undone drum]

no

[ocean stone]

Anyone knows how to fix when you extract from a raid or dies, before loading in to mainmeny and the raid complete scene my tarkov is always not responding and that blue circle shows

[teal panther]

Tarkov is sensitive. Whenever you are loading don’t click around on the screen

[unique mantle]

my laptop does the same, its cpu just not strong enough

[ocean stone]

Alrighty

[ocean stone]

Alright ty

[teal panther]

If I click around too much that happens to me too. Your pc probably isnt a super build and sadly this game seems to require that

can u carry me

[reef wedge]

does stuff on the flea market usually go out of stock? im trying to buy a uas chassis for the sks and it had a good amount yesterday but now its completely out of stock

[swift robin]

bit newer to the game doing some tasks on customs, bp depot operation aquarius and extortionists

[maiden marlin]

sometimes wep parts go out of stock cuz nobody is selling em

[balmy crypt]

first day on tarkov, i need someone to carry me

[wintry depot]

nahh

i cant no more with this pre alpha game

again it deleted my fuckinng audio mid raid

i hear random voip all the time

wtf is this

nothing fuucking work like it should be

[reef wedge]

i dont get it, why is a sks build worse in accuracy, rate of fire, recoil, etc than a cheaper ak build

why would you ever choose to do a sks build in that case

[wooden kelp]

does anyone know why easy money part 1 is glithced? i planted the poster on customs and i extracted - it also said i completed in the raid but i try and complete it and it says i havbent planted it

[junior swallow]

will i get banned if i use Crosshair X?

or like use an app that give me a crosshair

[ivory venture]

😭😭😭 i don’t think so but I don’t think it’s something any one would appreciate but I don’t see why you would be banned unless it’s a hack u gotta download

[junior swallow]

ok

[ivory venture]

Like of your monitor got a built in one like mines then you should be fine but ion use it I like the game immersive

[proper shoal]

when i am on shoorline and i want to extract at the "path to lighthouse" i always do the "transit to lighthouse" instead. Anybody knows why??????

[junior swallow]

ok thanks

[kindred grotto]

you interact with the transit

[proper shoal]

ty

[untold jewel]

Hey coming back to tarkov I’m pretty new I’m looking for someone who can help me with ground zero mayb teach me some stuff along the way

[fringe plinth]

personally i think the sks is pretty dookie

[proper shoal]

Im new to the game anyone new want to team up and learn the game??????

[finite sentinel]

anyone finding ledx on shoreline? been hitting all the med keys past 10 raids and haven't found anything

[kindred grotto]

found 2 in 4 raids yesterday

[vestal flame]

second 6 hour cultist circle

i swear to you, place 3 SMTs inside and 2 of whatever the hell you want and its goated

im getting back to back 6 hour timers, maybe i am just lucky or something, but idk, even the 14 hour ones were great

before i started getting only 6 hours

i just put the same thing in and got another 6 hours

[unkempt egret]

Intel items tend to do well in the circle.

[kindred grotto]

dont need anything but the smts

[trim dune]

What is the key called to unlock the gate in red room

[uneven trench]

Hey guys, any newer players want to team up?

[lost sparrow]

why cant I extract from northern extract on lighthouse?, all my other extracts are red too

[warm smelt]

ey is anyone having problem doing the Easy part 1 quest i have done it twice now and its not triggering the complete after raid ends

[valid harbor]

You clicked on a transit?

[lost sparrow]

nope

transit wasnt even on the map

actually oh nvm im getting confused with V-extract

[valid harbor]

I think if you click on "interact" on a transit all other non-transit extracts get locked, even if you run off before the timer runs out.

[warm smelt]

is anyone having problem with Easy part 1 not being able to complete

[valid harbor]

Easy job? Did you survive and extract?

[balmy crypt]

today is my first day of playing tarkov i need help learning this game

[warm smelt]

yes 2 times i have done it its bugged idk who to contact to get it done

@neat grove Hey are u able to fix my quest its not getting completed i have tried it twice now?

[lost sparrow]

I had to use transit because I had no other option i guess I accidently clicked interact or something walking over to norther checkpoint, im so mad I had died immediately on woods,had 3 quest items.

[muted grail]

does this game still have a hacker problem?

[brittle viper]

coming back after a long time to tarkov does anyone want to try to do some of the early quests with me?

[spark carbon]

can somebody help me with logging in? im only recieving verification email when i change my password. when i try to log in to lancher i recieve nothing at all

[harsh beacon]

spam it multiple time (from where they say they sent the code, go back and ask for it again, multiple time) and then wait for couple of hours (unfortunately overnight +/-) and try again, thats what I did and I got it right away

[spark carbon]

hmm i hope it works, ive not been reading hopeful things online

would be a shame

i can log into the website, make tickets. i saw that i unchecked send one time code emails

[harsh beacon]

same, made ticket, they replied 2 weeks later

[pallid tundra]

how do i go into my scav loot if i didnt collect it all?

[somber vessel]

Is there any way to know you are good to extract other than wait 7 minutes?

[patent wadi]

7min or gain 200 xp, so kill a scav or two

[somber vessel]

I know what the requirement is

Is there any in game indicator that you are clear?

7 minutes is a long time on factory

[topaz forge]

clear in what way

[patent wadi]

If you mean like some kind of in game notification or sound no

[topaz forge]

oh for extracting

no theres no way to tell

just get a couple kills and open the search menu on them, you dont need to search everything

can be scavs can be players doesnt matter

[somber vessel]

everytime I fight I die on factory to lv 60+ guys

[woeful mortar]

What is the Injector that you use to increase Carry weight, I know you take a Propital to ensure you don't die of dyhadration but whats the other injector so I can run while over weight

[patent wadi]

MULE

[woeful mortar]

Solo Lab Runs Lets go and die isntantly

[left scroll]

help im poor

Sigh so I miss understood which Keycard opened which door for some reason I thought Yellow was the Keycard to get into the Green card room. And now I have 2 full 10 use Yellow Keycards, that are selling on the PVE Flea for 1.6M for full use ones, should I just sell it or should I try to sacrafice it to see if I get something better

[lone pier]

how do you put your gun on full auto im so confused this game is ahh

[topaz forge]

default key is b iirc

[lone pier]

nah im just gonna delete this game everyone keeps killing me and i cant kill them

are raiders where its at to farm for icecream cones

[spice cedar]

Is this good for lv16

[hoary falcon]

no

lvl 16 should know how to take a screenshot

[normal echo]

[spice cedar]

Brother if I take a screenshot my computer will lag out of existence

[hoary falcon]

there's no way you can play tarkov but you cant use snipping tool or win+shift+s

[spice cedar]

I’m using my iPad for maps even tho I have another monitor

Bc every frame counts lol

[hoary falcon]

yea but ur in the menu

[spice cedar]

Can’t play tarkov while taking a screenshot lol

[hoary falcon]

wtf ur in ur stash

[spice cedar]

But jokes aside how much money should I have by 16

[hoary falcon]

however much you cared to grind out

some people have more, some less

play your own game

[plain whale]

0 it should all be spent questing

[dark parrot]

I've been having a good experience this wipe. I'd also accept it's gonna happen eventually, don't le them ruin the fun, just brush it off and go again

hey could use some help with beginner missions on customs

getting my rump kicked just trying to get into dorms for machine key

[dark parrot]

Take your time, don't rush in, listen and try and avoid the juicers.

My last raid I had to stay put motionless for like 10 minutes because I had a three man right next to me.

[dark parrot]

If you get tagged and cursed, do you stay tagged the whole raid?

Or once you displace far enough do they stop hunting you

[normal echo]

you can grab the key on scav

and bring it in on pmc in your secure container

[urban sedge]

oh cool thanks

i'll keep that in mind fs

[keen frost]

i just started this wipe and im wondering what type of loadout i should play with having all level 1 traders?

[marsh wagon]

Can you somehow hit ''top/nape'' from the front? I got killed by someone i was looking at while wearing tagillas face shield?

[unique mantle]

i doubt without lag/desync, at best they could hit head ears from the front

[marsh wagon]

well i have it on clip, its kind of rlly annoying since i shouldve easily killed him (playerscav)

[hearty sphinx]

I’ve done the ‘shooting cans’ task in ground zero 10 times and waited for raid time to drop and it still shows not completed every time. Not sure what I’m doing wrong

[normal echo]

what do you mean by "raid time to drop" ?

[hearty sphinx]

Yeah

[normal echo]

yeah what?

[hearty sphinx]

Like just the time duration

[unique mantle]

isnt "training" the offline mode ?

[normal echo]

...so are you just going MIA and basically dying? not extracting out of raid?

[hearty sphinx]

I am extracting

[normal echo]

also yeah it says "TRAINING" bottom left @hearty sphinx

[hearty sphinx]

Oh 🤦🏻‍♂️ I’m a dur lol

[unique mantle]

offline mode is not recorded, its different from using local server

[hearty sphinx]

Beginner stupidness

[unique mantle]

dont use this for progress

[hearty sphinx]

Okay thanks for the explanation 👍🏻

Should be easy now since I did it a bunch of times lol

[unique mantle]

you dont even need to survive to progress shooting cans

it wont reset after death

[hearty sphinx]

Okay cool 😎

Odd question does anyone run a AMD Ryzen 7 7800x3D and know how it runs for streets?

[primal rock]

It runs very well for streets but consider a somewhat well gpu.

[unique mantle]

i have a 7800x3d, 64gb of ram and a 1080, i run streets at 50fps at all minimum

[cloud frost]

Somewhat new have 35kilksc but I need help if anyone wants to run co op

[cloud frost]

Let’s run the scabs out and look up

[toxic zinc]

well ur gpu is 9 years old so thats why

[unique mantle]

I know i am gpu bottlenecked, thats why i added it to my comment

[cloud frost]

Anyone wanna run PvP coop on tarkov

[marsh wagon]

[runic lantern]

Hello all guys, i recently met a wierd situation in Streets, can someone explain it to me?

https://streamable.com/95vyss

the thing it shows i died run over the BTR xd

Im trying to understand what happened, thanks.

https://streamable.com/95vyss

[shadow elk]

the BTR is a moving tank. apparently its invisible right now? but if you are on his little course he takes and hes going by he will kill you by crushing you with a tank

[runic lantern]

but i cant see the btr, is bugged invisible

[dark parrot]

What speed ram?

[unique mantle]

6000MHz

[dark parrot]

I have 12400f 32gb ddr5 and 1070, I'm getting a little better than that. Somewhere between 70 and low side dips to 50 ish.

[dark parrot]

Hm ok, you should be doing a little better than me then

I'm at 5800mhz I think

[unique mantle]

I play at 1440p tho

[dark parrot]

Ohh ok

Yeah I'm at 1080

What do your frames do when u use magnified optics?

[unique mantle]

Solid 35 fps, i try to avoid going streets because of that

[agile aurora]

unfortunately bsg doesnt want to at least remove the btr until they fix it so your best bet is to play a map without it or stay away from where he drives

[dark parrot]

Ok, yeah that seems to be what happens for me usually as well. Even on customs. I think it depends what optic though. I used one optic on streets and still had good frames.

If you ran 1080 you'd probably have really nice performance boost

[unique mantle]

PiP rendering gonna kill your fps either way

[dark parrot]

Yeah

Is there a setting to change how it's rendered and make it less intensive

[bold kernel]

I got a RX 7800 XT 16gb

[unique mantle]

Nope, none

[dark parrot]

I was looking at used 3060s and saw they have 12gb vram. Anybody run that gpu?

[bold kernel]

Ah i see, yeah got a 7800 XT so i should be okay

[unique mantle]

It will run

hi i am like level 3 i have played 2-3 yeras ago but i am lost now

could anyone help me?

[white sun]

WHERE DO WE FIND DRAIN CLEANERS?

[primal rock]

7800 XT is a really good gpu

[runic lantern]

ok ty..

[bold kernel]

Okay perfect i've not played EFT in about a year

so upgraded my system a ton

hopefully streets runs flawlessly

[primal rock]

It won’t lol

[primal rock]

You will get some fps but I wouldn’t say flawlessly

The optimization is horrendously garbage

[dark parrot]

Yeah from the searches I've done the game itself has optimization issues, to put it mildly. There are things you can do to help though. Restarting game and deleting game logs every few games seems to help. Airwing marine has a video

[bold kernel]

I have seen vidoes of people playing with a 7800X3D in 1440p at 120 fps

[primal rock]

Yeah well if you optimize and spam clear everything once in a while

[bold kernel]

Not too shabby

Thought 7800X3D would do alot better than the 5800X3D and see streamers using that one

[primal rock]

7800X3D does do a lot better than the 5800X3D

[pearl furnace]

You need security 1 for it

[dark parrot]

I have

[fringe jay]

Is the Spark plug found in raid ?

[dark parrot]

No

It has to be?

[fringe jay]

yes

[dark parrot]

I thought you could buy whatever you need now?

[fringe jay]

all of the hideout stuff needs to be now

[dark parrot]

Or was it changed so only fir can be used in hideout

Ah ok, that explains it thanks

[fringe jay]

[slate pulsar]

try and run scavs with your friend on ground zero, maybe get some loot for a pmc and scope out the map and learn the extracts. if you have good enough hearing and map knowledge, everythings possible

[lucid falcon]

okay man

[slate pulsar]

find a map on google or something while you're playing the map, it will help

[young socket]

guys i just started whats the best place for loot

Can anyone help me

[steep ibex]

Depends on the type of loot, if you Google the item you want plus eft you'll find a reddit post or wiki page about it 95% of the time

[fallen kite]

is 10mil and a decent stash good progress for 250hours?

[toxic zinc]

yes

[maiden marlin]

can u carry me i have 12 roobal

[fallen kite]

wont give up yet then lmao

[fervent sapphire]

yeah

[somber vessel]

how do you figure out where you are on streets?

[quiet wadi]

landmarks find a store with a name and check a interactive map

[pallid ruin]

Not a newbie but decided to ask here - my mate has an issue, whenever he loads into a scav raid he always gets an error, every single time with no exceptions (he has to reconnect to load in) - he doesnt have that issue whilst running pmc, he did a reinstall and the issue persists. Did anyone have the same issue and managed to fix it?

[somber vessel]

What map has all the stores?

[fallen kite]

where to get military corrugate tube ?

[fallen kite]

interchange?

[normal echo]

lighthouse

[somber falcon]

Wouldn't mind some help getting some quests done to open flea market, lvl 11 atm.

[pallid ruin]

[steep ibex]

Military stuff is lighthouse or reserve

[toxic zinc]

you forgor about like 10 zeros mate

[somber falcon]

Anyone? need some stuff on factory and some other things. Just want to quest till i can get the flea market open.

[ornate yacht]

anyone feel like helping with some customs quests

[unkempt egret]

You'll have better luck in the LFG channels.

[ornate yacht]

alright apreciate it

[unkempt inlet]

is there a way to cycle nades like you can choose what part to heal?

[tidal lagoon]

yes same way u press and scroll

might need it bound to release or smt idk

[sour kraken]

How do I send a channel inv to the call that I'm in?

[left hound]

either of these worth buying . the mdr or the m4

[idle hamlet]

can someone help me complete the Introduction task to unlock Jaeger

[surreal dragon]

why is my cultist circle only taking 12 hours? normally its 14 isnt it?

[native oyster]

What’s it missing to work??

[thick spade]

buffer tube

[native oyster]

! Would it be in the one I took off? I don’t really build guns on here often

[thick spade]

yes, you'd just have to remove the stock on the one you have
though i'd recommend using the ARE/advanced receiver extension as a buffer tube, better stats

[native oyster]

I’m assuming it’s on flea

I just threw this gin together in like fine mins so if you got advice I’m keen on hearing

[thick spade]

should be

also think its on mechanic ll4

[left mango]

Anyone have tips for scanning?

[native oyster]

Yeah I’m not close to that tweet

Yet*

[rose panther]

hey is there anyone that can help with tasks i seem to be stuck

[undone drum]

what task?

[rose panther]

Frickin markers on customs

[eternal narwhal]

as in spotting enemies?

[left mango]

yea yea

Cause I feel like I'm blind when looking at a bunch of different stuff on my screen, like looking across interchange parking lot

but I'm always spotted from miles away

2k monitor, 27in

[eternal narwhal]

scan from right to left, brain notices things out of the ordinary better apparently. you should scan quick on the first look at an area to catch anyone out in the open, and then rescan looking more closely at areas of cover or concealment. pay closer attention to higher trafficked areas and the paths between them (fortress to old gas station for example)

make sure youre "pieing off" angles, check 10* first, then look a little wider at 20*, and work your way up until youre sure youre clear

[whole gazelle]

if my friend sold the factory map plan can he still find it somewhere or he cant get int.center lvl all wipe?

[undone drum]

your friend should look up items like that on tarkov wiki.
There it says where to find it

Its not that bad, dw

[whole gazelle]

we did but it doesnt say any location to get it from. Therapist sells it but that wont be fir right?

[eternal narwhal]

correct. your friend will either have to be very lucky or use cultist circle until he gets it

[whole gazelle]

thanks!

[dusty gazelle]

afaik map doesnt have to be fir

[undone drum]

please. if you don´t know 100%, don´t give advise

[eternal narwhal]

how else?

[undone drum]

factory map and few others doesns´t need to be found in raid. The list:
#eft-chat message

[eternal narwhal]

mmm okay

[whole gazelle]

ooh thanks

[white needle]

any tips on punisher part 4? bc ive been camping, pushing spawns. and none works

[unkempt egret]

The RPD does not have a rail to mount optics to, the RPDN does. Just like how the AK 74 does not have one but the AK 74N does.

[wind wind]

yeah i just had to barter the rpdn off mechanic for the mcb and cyclone

shits stupid

[surreal dragon]

why is my cultist cirlce 12 hours intead of 14?

oh, so 12 hours im guessing is shit loot?

so less time = high value?

oh

whats an iirc btw

[hoary falcon]

it's 'if i remember correctly'
and he's mostly right, but 1 exception

the 14 hour ones have a 25% percent chance of being 6 hour ones
the 6 hour ones are guaranteed to give you quest or hideout items you need

so usually low number is worse, but 6 hour ones are the best

yea I learned about it recently
would be nice if they told you more about how they work in-game lol

[woven leaf]

Best tip is do it friday/Saturday night prime times, more players active and more chance of good early spawn fights and predictability, I recommend extract after one kill and not waste time in raid

[surreal dragon]

i got a 14 hour circle and got a 25k key...

[hoary falcon]

Yea cultist circle can be shitty sometimes

at least it didn't bug and give you nothing at all lol
it do that sometimes

[surreal dragon]

whats the best item you can get from it?

[hoary falcon]

pretty sure you can get anything from it
btc, ledx, vpx, virtex, etc
not sure about the labs specific shit like gpsa
and I don't think it can give you cases

[surreal dragon]

ive gotten docs case before

[hoary falcon]

oh neat
yea I wonder which cases can come out of it
maybe only stuff they put in marked rooms

[surreal dragon]

im watching videos of people using the cultist circle and they are doing it with 5 sas or 5 slim diarys. Does that still work to get the max output?

[hoary falcon]

cheapest way to get max output is 2 of jaeger's modded sv-98s and some other garbo gun

[surreal dragon]

sadly cant do that

im only level 1 on jaeger

[hoary falcon]

then yea, there's a website you can use to see what gets you max output
cultistcirclecalculator or somethin like that

iirc you might only need like 3 sas drives

[surreal dragon]

i will check actually

[hoary falcon]

L1, Trim, Meldonin, 3btg, obd 2, and SJ1
they vary on how much and for how long
obd 2 best for strength but it messus up endurance and kills you overtime

[patent wadi]

You will also get a quest called Slaughterhouse Id suggest you keep your energy for that quest you will see meleeing will turn out to be a major pain

Oh jesus congrats, you can also just stick to the classic SJ6, Trimadol depending on your levels

[hoary falcon]

those give you like infinite stamina but not too much strength

I'd look at meldonin

lasts like 15 min

[patent wadi]

If he's 40+ strength it woudnt matter

[hoary falcon]

oh true

[covert kraken]

How do you learn maps?

[maiden marlin]

learn landmarks on the maps, and try to navigate from one landmark to another, kinda makes a map in ur head eventually

[robust drum]

for me i just go in practice and run around try to find the landmarks and look at a map online

[wary valley]

any tips on getting icecream cones done

[topaz forge]

you can craft them in lavatory 2

doesnt require your power in hideout to be turned on

alternatively they are pretty difficult to get, gotta kill raiders or get lucky finding them in zb-014 on woods

[thorn compass]

anyone know why my pc crashes when i get into a raid

[placid loom]

could anyone help me and my buddy through woods for a few quest items? we've tried it multiple times but can never get our way out we get lost

[arctic crescent]

Anybody have good cultist circle recipes?

[hoary falcon]

I'm down if you still need

[placid loom]

yeah bro please

[hoary falcon]

dm me

[ionic lodge]

feel stuck dont really know the maps well looking to play with someone why has a little more experience then me so i can learn more

[fervent sapphire]

ill be on in like 20 ish min if you wanna run

[thorn compass]

im new anybody down to run

[ionic lodge]

okok sounds good

@fervent sapphirejust dm me when your read

[crimson jasper]

What rep do I need for bosses not to kill me as a scav?

[turbid pasture]

any way to fix the error 208? Both EFT and Arena are the same region even tho my arena keeps giving me an error (error 208) but my EFT seems the launch fine, need help because i havent got no reposnes BSG about how to fix it

[topaz forge]

6 iirc

[timid magnet]

looking to run a quick pmc run. im fairly new.

[normal echo]

Do scavs or practice runs, use re3mr's maps in 3D

Put them on your phone or second monitor

Run around until you learn ut

Hit every extract during practice

[raven portal]

best keys for reserve? im looking for tech crates to get military power filters

[neon fulcrum]

i like woods for Power filters. Nex to the crashed plane and in the BTR train depo u basically get atleast 1 guaranteed per raid

[raven portal]

i dont know woods all that well.. i tried playing with someone last night and apparently the btr is glitched?? it was invis or just not spawning for us

actually dont know woods at all 😅

[neon fulcrum]

oh ye the BTR has a few bugs, personally havent experienced it but thats how i got my powerfilters

[raven portal]

gonna try a few runs
where do i find the btr?

[neon fulcrum]

well u see. tree 1 looks like that and tree 2 hahha.
Jk dont blame ya

[neon fulcrum]

https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/BTR_Driver#Location

[raven portal]

sweet thanks

[raven portal]

bruh im lost as fuck
can someone guide me on woods

i have one open lmao

[toxic zinc]

send a screenshot and tell me ur extracts and I can guide you

the what now

[raven portal]

i can stream in a chat if thats easier

[toxic zinc]

its not, just send it in here

ooh, if ur 21 or above go factory if not you go Ground Zero

[raven portal]

think im at usec checkpoint

fighting for my life

[normal echo]

Never seen a pfilter at the plane crash ever

I check it whenever I'm there for valuables like vases or cats

[neon fulcrum]

really? i found quite a few in the trail it left behind

theres spawns all along it

[normal echo]

PvE?

[remote kettle]

why wouldnt it?

[toxic zinc]

arent PFilters like Reserve only loot?

[normal echo]

No they are just much more common there

[remote kettle]

which ones??

this is news to me

[normal echo]

Never heard of this once

[toxic zinc]

stuff like insomnia and test drive part 1 have

[normal echo]

Neither are bolt action quests

[remote kettle]

theyre not bolty quests and they do disclose that factory is excluded

[toxic zinc]

well but since some quests forbid factory/labs one might wonder about other quests also doing that?

congratz, that is a bs quest but really important to do

[normal echo]

Pmcs need to be in office afaik

[spice cedar]

I just had a scav raid with like 400k worth of stuff but missed the extract by 1 second

[toxic zinc]

Nighttime Lighthouse scav is the most op thing ever

got like 3m in 2 raids this morning

[tacit star]

any reason why im getting this error when loading a scav raid?

[toxic zinc]

check news

[tacit star]

an update, ok!

[wary valley]

are the spawns relatively the same from a few wipes back

or new spawns for btcs n stuff

[toxic zinc]

exact same

[wary valley]

damn did they buff it back or smhtn

[toxic zinc]

oh nah its like 10x worse but still the same spawn points

[wary valley]

hmm ima check it out anyway next scav timer

by 10x worse i hope u mean from the start

not after the nerf

[normal echo]

10x worse than release

25% worse than start of wipe

Last loot buff was two wipes ago, followed by massive nerfs

[toxic zinc]

I mean previously you would pretty much always get good shit from the keys now its like 25% chance to even get anything

like merin car, hillside house and shit

no.

[normal echo]

No

Mutant has the highest outside of rpd

[south tendon]

What do you even need a 800+ rpm 7.62x39 that just sounds painfull to use

Lmfao try a AK-12 with a GP-25 or a M4A1 with a M203

You can put a 95 rounder in the AK-12 if you feel like it aswell

Lmfao

[spice cedar]

classic tarkov moment right there

[wary valley]

damn u right not too bad

[normal echo]

"Not too bad" 😭

[wary valley]

i mean it was kinda bad but it was a scav

[south tendon]

Loot isn't bad. Ive found 8 GPUs like 3 bitcoins and 2 ledxs this wipe

[spice cedar]

best cheap build that is still decent for a lv16 player?

[south tendon]

Try a AK-104 cheap on flea and cheap to mod. You can get PS ammo off flea and it should work alright

I could make you a build once I'm home but I'm not on right now

[normal echo]

I'd run ak-103 instead

[spice cedar]

icic

[normal echo]

Better recoil

SKS too

[south tendon]

More expensive

[spice cedar]

what about 2 different builds one for long range one for short range

[south tendon]

He's looking for budget

[spice cedar]

like woods and factory

how budget are you talking btw

[south tendon]

Woods is mid range. You don't need a sniper for woods

[spice cedar]

rn my builds cost me around 100k

[normal echo]

By how much

[spice cedar]

could use an sr25 tho

[south tendon]

A AK-104 build would set you back about a 100-120k

[normal echo]

Less than 10k

[south tendon]

Too expensive

[normal echo]

90k no mods

[south tendon]

A AK-104 on flea is 25k roubles

Iirc

Full durability

[spice cedar]

75k i think

but i do like it as a gun lol'

[south tendon]

Nuh 85-90k for a SR-25

[spice cedar]

might buy it as a shtf rifle irl

[south tendon]

If you want a 7.62x51 try a RFB

Cheap barter from skier and good ammo

[spice cedar]

icic

[south tendon]

And ofc a SKS is always a good cheap DMR

[spice cedar]

yeah true

[south tendon]

Remember tho you don't need a sniper for woods

Having a 1-4/6x is good for woods

[spice cedar]

one time i had fmj ammo and i hit a scav in the belly like 5 times before he died

[south tendon]

Like a elcan or a Vudu

[spice cedar]

yeah elcan is really good

[south tendon]

Ye that's why you shoot for the head!

[spice cedar]

gotta aim train lol

[south tendon]

Xd try a offline raid if you struggle with head-tapping scavs

[spice cedar]

yeah i read that tip from a video

the guy said who on factory, turn AI amount to max and turn the difficulty to easy

[south tendon]

Yeah

Tho I'd try a map like customs for a little more range

[normal echo]

And 103?

[south tendon]

Not sure. Around 40-50k I think. I'm not on the game right now

Tho imo the AK-104 plays better than the 103. I like that it's shorter. It's barely worse than the AK-103 in recoil and the shorter barrel makes it easier around close combat

[spice cedar]

a sa58 is only like 50k

that thing will probably shred close range on full auto

[south tendon]

Not worth. Garbage ergo unless you pour like 400k into it

The fun switch is nice but it's loud and expensive to mod

[normal echo]

And you need 300 in mods lol

[spice cedar]

damn

i modded it for like 50k and it was honestly not that bad

full auto was controllable in bursts

what about the m4a1

i found a few thats already modded with flash and grip and red dot for like 70k

[south tendon]

If you do the peacekeeper barter it can get down to a solid price

[spice cedar]

true true

is the m855 a pea shooter tho?

[south tendon]

Pens lvl 3 just aim for neck/face and youl be ok

M856A1 is VERY expensive but it pens lvl 4

[spice cedar]

alr

[indigo lintel]

anyone looking for a team?

[spice cedar]

why not

[wary valley]

only remember the like one spawn from lighthouse damn

[arctic vessel]

any OCE beginners need assistance (im bored, lvl 55 kappa done)

[ruby trail]

Bit confused with arena, after finishing a game I see notifications of the others leaving. But I’m stuck looking at the scoreboard for a full minute? …how do I get out without waiting haha

[ruby trail]

Ah the fps counter was blocking that buttton haha. Thanks!

[peak axle]

Im trying to install tarkov to external drive D: and its saying I cant istall because of not enough space in drive C: can anyone help?

[white sun]

Whats the best way to do setup easily

[dry flint]

Just rush dorms. Might as well get safe room keys while you wait it out.

[white sun]

alright

Just rush dorms

Got bum rush by 5 scavs

Ran out of ammo

[peak axle]

Welcome to tarkov

[hybrid jungle]

Carry more ammo lol.

[white sun]

Already on it

[hybrid jungle]

I just started setup last might using flechet seemed to work well. Or mag and leg dump

[white sun]

Welp

Imma go make some money to keep doing setup i guess

[hybrid jungle]

Pair the shotgun with the mp 18.
Then you can take long shots as well for not much extra money.
And thrn close range with derp shotgun

[rustic oasis]

does anyone know if taking out the phone for ambulances again needs to be survived status or does a run through work

[solar wasp]

I've been running one mp18 shotgun with an elcan spectre and a mp155 so I can do shooter born and setup simultaneously

[hybrid jungle]

Yer same lol.

[normal echo]

thing about it is you gotta factor the scope in too

[hybrid jungle]

35 to 40k. Meh

[worldly moat]

how am i supposed to pick this up ?

[normal echo]

go prone, use middle mouse to turn head and find the spot

stuff ur face close

[worldly moat]

oké thx

[late veldt]

is easy money part 1 still broken?

[hoary falcon]

YES

[pallid ruin]

whats broken about it? i did it yesterday and didnt see any issues

[hoary falcon]

then it must be random
did it with 2 guys and they both completed it as normal and it wouldn't let them turn it in, didn't mark as completed
I've seen others saying the same thing
u prob one of the lucky ones

[pallid ruin]

hm could be, i did it with my mate and we both didnt have any issues

maybe its dependent on which spot you stashed it?

we both did it on the tarp in the corner next to the beds

[late veldt]

I accepted the quest before bsg changed it back when you still had to go to woods first

Took a couple weeks break from main game, and came back to it and it now requires the poster to be bought first

I had one attempt where i finished planting the poster, got tbe quest complete pop up, i died afterwards and its not completing

[hoary falcon]

yea maybe

[late veldt]

Another attempt i had i planted it, extracted, got the wuest complete pop up like during the first attempt and it still didnt complete

[hoary falcon]

yea that's what happened to us last night

[pallid ruin]

rn u get 3 posters for free, if u run out then u gotta buy it

[late veldt]

I never got the 3 free ones

[pallid ruin]

ye rip

[hoary falcon]

yea the 3 free ones didn't pop up

if you accepted the task before it changed you don't get those

[late veldt]

I also already put a tucket in, we shall see what happens ig

[hoary falcon]

pretty sure it's just bugged

[pallid ruin]

yeah, especially if u accepted before the changes it seems

[late veldt]

Thats what i also read on reddit

[pallid ruin]

could be rng

[late veldt]

Sucks, this is my first wipe too but oh well, hopefully itll get fixed

[pallid ruin]

yep gl

i decided to start this wipe yesterday after the break and didnt realise they changed hideout upgrades to fir only

[hoary falcon]

do you have arena even?

[late veldt]

Yes

[pallid ruin]

found that out when i traded my cms and calok for nuts and bolts and then i died lmao

[late veldt]

I got standard and arena during the new years sale

[hoary falcon]

Yea, just keep doin dailies
ref doesn't get good until like level 2

[late veldt]

I have him at level 3, i want the ammo and lvl 5 plates lol

[hoary falcon]

he doesn't have t5 plates at level 3 unfortunatley

but the m80 and and BT can be nice

[late veldt]

Hey need help with ground zero I've been trying to get someone to help me for a while but I haven't found anyone. I'm pretty new to the game

[unique mantle]

check #pvp-lfg

[untold jewel]

Uh I did and they told me to go die like everyone else lmao

Bro idk what’s up like how do I get into this game without losing all my money I fr don’t get it

[unique mantle]

it works as you expect it, he has 20% chance to spawn in every raid, he has a bunch of set spawn points where he can spawn
Sturman uses an unsuppressed SVD and fires in in a few round bursts, very unique and you can hear it across the map

Hey, I'm fairly new and looking for people to play with. In game name is NorthernLeach

If you're looking for teammates, you can head over to #beginners-assistance or #pvp-lfg.

If you're looking for a teacher/someone to guide you in-raid ; you can check out #sherpa-info. Sherpa’s official volunteers that will gladly teach you the game - They use a ticket system so there may be a tad bit of a wait time.

Alternatively, on the Sherpahub discord you may navigate to their #674275441367973891 (looking-for-group) or #673310157232406538 (looking-for-help) channels to find non-official sherpas that are offering help.
(Second set of channel links will not show properly until you join the Sherpahub Server)

because it's a 20% chance, that means that every raid you're re-rolling that 20% dice. So, it's possible to not see him for 1000 raids in a row. Realistically, at 8%, I should see Glukhar about once every 12-13 raids, but last wipe it took me nearly 300 and I only saw him 3 times, two of which he died to mortars during the mortar event. It is possible to just get that unlucky

[ember bolt]

any one wanna group up on GZ and quest?

[tender wraith]

hello i am new to this and i have just recently gotten a sparkplug but it wont let me use it to build my generator for some reason if anyone could tell me how to use it please

[analog sky]

Need people to play with to do background check task I’m new first wipe

[patent wadi]

All items to upgrade you hideout have to be FIR ( they have a checkmark on the bottom right )

[tender wraith]

sweet ty just found another in a raid

[distant bobcat]

ANYONE have an issue with Tarkov crashing once they start streaming on Discord? Starts using a lot of VRAM. Doesn't make sense with my build

[tulip kettle]

wow i love when i die to a scavs silent nade

[patent wadi]

You can get one after killing sanitar when you do jaeger's quest sadist

[kindred grotto]

ll4 pk has a barter for a ledx

[spice cedar]

damn how many parts does gunsmith have lol

do yall just speedrun the gun builds by going on flee?

[soft frost]

Bought the game 2 days ago, level 3, can someone give me some tips ingame or here?

[spice cedar]

on scav raids dont kill scavs

ur fence reputation will go down, and how good your scav gear is depends on how high your fence rep ius

the game gets alot easier after you get to lv15

[soft frost]

No way, really?

[spice cedar]

and run a scav raid in between each pmc raid

[spice cedar]

yeah if you do then fence rep does down

i made that mistake when i first started playing lol

[patent wadi]

There's 25 part and you kind of have to use flea do the easy you can pick, some gunsmith ones are locked behind time and guns you can pretty much only FIR

[spice cedar]

icic

[soft frost]

im not doing much better tbh, havent made it out once as a pmc and i just killed myself with a flare

[midnight loom]

on reserve where are all the rare tech spawns such as gpus and virtex? I look on all of the server rooms so much and never find shit

[spice cedar]

ngl i did not know you can kill urself with a flare

[soft frost]

neither did I

[spice cedar]

yk what i did when i first started playing?

on ground zero i thought the sniper extract was a boss

and i tried to outsnipe the sniper extract

was funny asf

[soft frost]

how did that turn out?

you get him?

[spice cedar]

i dont think you can see the sniper extract sniper physically

[soft frost]

btw is fence worth buying from?

[spice cedar]

technically no

but he has some guns that the others dont have

but they are over priced and sometimes broken

[soft frost]

but as a level 3 who cant buy anything better than an AK-74U

[spice cedar]

but honestly sometimes buying an FAL from him and then fixing it is pretty worth bc its a goated gun for new players

[patent wadi]

Lots of tech spawn in RB-AK you can skip the key and drop from the floor above to get in

[spice cedar]

ak74 is honestly not that bad

this wipe i needed to grind to lv 15 so i bought like 10 of them along with 10 chest rigs and 600 rounds of ammo

[soft frost]

but its the U version, im buying the full versions from fence

[spice cedar]

is there that much difference between 74 and 74u?

[patent wadi]

Fence bad, never buy from Fence stick with prapor of you want AKs

[soft frost]

ok... then i done goofed

[spice cedar]

buy ak74u + pilgrim dust cover + mrs red dot

from prapor i think

the irons on ak guns suck

[patent wadi]

Fence buys for cheap and sells really high, plus those gun were likely really low on durability

[spice cedar]

does fence lower his prices if i get higher rep

[soft frost]

Ive only been buying from fence because bigger gun for new player looks better

[patent wadi]

No but max rep gets you a special tab with better offers

[spice cedar]

you could also use the gun from ur scav raids

but make sure to repair them

[soft frost]

thats what i do

how do i repair?

[patent wadi]

Right on weapon theres repair option

[spice cedar]

right click on the gun and theres an option

[soft frost]

ok ty

[midnight loom]

ik about that one but is there anywhere else really?

[patent wadi]

And honestly since you just started dont go all out on load out focus on learning, you can also offline raid to learn the maps

[patent wadi]

Its the hottest spot for that really there's a few other spawn in the long open room before D-2 but its bot really worth to risk it

Server as always been kind of meh to be honest

[midnight loom]

ahh i see

[normal echo]

The ammo is

[south tendon]

5.45 isn't bad. Finding good ammo isn't hard. And even PS will deal with lvl3 preety easilly so if you can hit heads it works just fine.

[normal echo]

Who even wears lvl 3 helmets at this poinr

[south tendon]

Does your face have lvl 3 over it?

Or your neck?

[normal echo]

? Then run smgs

With better recoil and fire rate

The mp5 is lvl 1 pk

[south tendon]

That doesn't pen lvl 3 and doesn't have as much range.

And its worse off for killing scavs

[dry flint]

honestly its more about richochet chance than actual protection for helmets

at this point of the wipe everyone is penning even tier 4 so the chance of ricochet is better to have.

[normal echo]

Penning sure but class 4 helmets are protection against rounds that pen class 4 but lose enough damage on pen to be lower than 35 dmg

Fmj sx is one of them

5.45 bt is a popular round and also a coin flip if it kills

[topaz forge]

also really helpful for people dumb enough to use stuff like igolnik or ssa ap

just straight up isnt a one shot headshot through your helmet despite the high pen

[void roost]

Igolnik and SSA AP are hardly dumb to use, they're meant for shooting in the chest

[south tendon]

Igolnik and SSA AP are very good lol. If you're using them you probably have a beefed up gun anyway hitting the head twice shouldn't be an issue for you

[wind pine]

M855a1 and BS are just better

Imo

[south tendon]

I mean yeah kinda but you can't get either lmfao so it's just what you find

[wind pine]

I have like 2k 55a1

The craft is dummy cheap

Shit out of luck tho for 545 but honestly the AKs are just piss compared to HK or M4

They should add a faster fire rate or more modifiable 545 gun

[south tendon]

Uh

The AKs are fine imo. In fact I preffer them over the M4s.

[wind pine]

Crazy work but it's all about preference ig

[south tendon]

Low recoil easy to mod solid attachments and they shoot nicely

[wind pine]

The 556 guns are just better in every way tho

No recoil laser beam super modifiable and shoot stupid fast

[south tendon]

And 6x more expensive. The AKs work just fine. The fire rate makes you use ammo more. The AKs have more accessible ammo and easilly accessible 1x2 60rd mags. And 45 rounders if you need them. Also the AK-12 shoots at 750 RPM

[normal echo]

I do not think thats true

Igolink doesn't one tap the 540 hp pool scavs but the high pen should make it so you one shot class 4 helmeted pmcs because the high pen reduces the damage reduction on pen

[normal echo]

Price, ammo availability, cost of bigger mags

You can run ak on budget, can't really run an m4 on a budget

[south tendon]

A AK preforms similarly recoil wise to an M4. The only difference is fire rate and if one really wants to drop 300k on a gun cause it shoots 150rpm faster they can do that I'll stick to my AK-12 tho

[normal echo]

The recoil isn't really similar at all, at least not that I remember

An ak with no mods is entirely usable

[south tendon]

They're both preety flat shooting is what I meant

Neither shake too much to the sides

[normal echo]

"The only difference" the ammo is a massive difference though

Bp is much more available in raid

[south tendon]

I mean yeah but if you have max traders there isn't really a difference. It's deffinetly easier to get high tier 5.45 and I love it for that but for someone with max traders it isn't really a issue.

[remote kettle]

it def isnt. 55a1 is a simple enough quest and you can craft it in massive quantities. 5.45 BP (the comparable ammo) is worse but behind a painful questline

the m4 and hk are objectively the better weapons in a gunfight

AKs are great, ans they have their place, but the m4 and hk are just better

[normal echo]

"simple enough quest" but expensive as fuck to do

how much is that key?

777k right now, per attempt, and you are very likely to die

[south tendon]

Which quest is it? I forgot

[normal echo]

your car needs a service or sth like that

[toxic zinc]

your car needs a service

[normal echo]

you go to closed section of lexos

with a one use key

get a folder and extract

[toxic zinc]

if you have damaged house its pretty easy to do

[south tendon]

Oh that one. Yeah you need a 1m key and if you don't buy it you have to kill Kaban and get it.

Not a easy quest for a inexperienced player

[normal echo]

or any player for that matter

streets sucks ass

[south tendon]

Streets would be a solid map if I could have more than 20 fps

And lexos is preety fun to fight in tbh

I'm very glad that when I got Kaban je had a PKP

[remote kettle]

the gendarmerie questline wont be cheaper with how insanely long it takes to het through

[south tendon]

Yeah but you can find heaps of great 5.45 ammo in raid. The ammo packs are as common as food

You can easilly find 120rds of BP/BS/Igolnik

[remote kettle]

If you want 5.45 bp it gets trickier, but yes I’m aware

[south tendon]

Not at all it's common aswell

[remote kettle]

AKs are cheaper and more accessible but they simply aren’t as good as the m4 and hk

[normal echo]

yeah remember how they expanded the area for Assessment on lighthouse basically to "anywhere that's not WTP" on lighthouse?

[uneven orchid]

im new to the game but my buddy told me to buy it and hes not on til later so can somebody take me under their wing for a little

[normal echo]

they need to do that with gendarmerie

[south tendon]

They are tho. I don't see why people think the M4 outperforms a AK. A meta M4 outperforms a meta AK in CQC only while the meta AK is like 100k cheaper.

[normal echo]

yeah i dont think anyone said "it outperforms in cqc"

[south tendon]

900 rpm otherwise they're the same

[normal echo]

it's cheaper to mod, good ammo easily found in raid

[south tendon]

Definitely

I agree the AK is better than the M4 and HK imo

I disslike them.

[normal echo]

ehh idk i think they are both fucking ass rn

[south tendon]

Yeahhhh. They need to fix their damage values. Both 7.62s are better in every single way

[kindred hinge]

Anyone want to be a tour guide for shoreline

[kindred grotto]

val > m4 😴

[south tendon]

SR-3M > Val

i hate how quickly they overheat its so sad

[kindred grotto]

couple of days away from ref4

you know what ill be running

[south tendon]

spear

[unique wave]

Just got killed by a cultist warrior on Lighthouse during the day, are they even supposed to spawn there?

Saw that there was a sniper at the lighthouse so I popped it, maybe it triggered them somehow?

[kindred grotto]

zyriachy and his guards

[kindred grotto]

mid ahh gun w fmj.. spamming that val w sp6 + 762 bp

[south tendon]

idk man sig FMJ sounds fine to me

at 900rpm youl be fine

[unique wave]

Aah get it

[kindred grotto]

800

actually never used the spear..

[south tendon]

whoops

[karmic zephyr]

is it not possible to reconnect after crashing in pve?

if you are playing alone that is

[patent wadi]

No, unless you play street raids are server side so its like the raid never happened

[karmic zephyr]

ah thank you, that sucks

[manic oasis]

can someone help me get to abandoned factory

[rigid gyro]

anyone need help w tasks on woods or shoreline

[opal ridge]

Customs lol
