[limpid sigil]

I never understood the obsession over it, feel like it’s mostly diminishing returns at some point

[upbeat elk]

It can definitely help improve your aim. But at one point it becomes more of just a practice

and warmup

My pubg pre-tournament thing was - aimlabs for like 1hr, then do deathmatch for like 1hr, then play normal games for a bit

[limpid sigil]

I’d probably have a weird warmup in comparison lol

When I did competitive halo there was a lot of traveling involved so you’re limited unless you bring a setup with you

But I always started with memory sequencing first, a quick 30 min workout, then FFA for as long as you possibly can

Most online tournies I always played for 3 hours before hand

[marsh wagon]

how good are plates this broken? am i better off just playing level 4 armour?

[tidal lagoon]

they are ass i wouldnt recommend using them anymore so if lvl 4 is all uve got then ig u r running lvl 4

[marsh wagon]

kk cant buy level 5 yet unfortunately

[limpid sigil]

Easiest way to explain these is: here for a good time not a long time

You won’t take a lot of shots but if you do get shot itll still be better than 4

[normal echo]

Yes, sell this shit

Dont run ceramic anything

Breaks instantly and doesn't repair for shit

[normal echo]

Theres no way a half hp class 5 is better than full hp class 4

[tidal lagoon]

depends if game is fixed or not

[limpid sigil]

Let’s say you fight a 3 man, you kill 2 without getting shot but the last guy has 55a1. Your chances of getting thoraxed are much higher if you’re on that 4 plate than the low durability 5 plate

Granted, if you get into another fight down the line, you don’t have much armor to reconcile with, but again it’s for a good time not a long time

Truth be told, you’re positioning and situational awareness should be esteemed to play as if you have no armor anyways, but I digress

[normal echo]

55a1 is still going through a broken tier 5 though

On the first shot

[limpid sigil]

Not 100%

Assuming he actually repaired it first

[tidal lagoon]

did they ever fix plates acting as if they are 100% durability when they are not

[limpid sigil]

I believe that is still the case. Until they hit 0 they still deflect

[tidal lagoon]

holy cringe

[limpid sigil]

I could be wrong though, I barely give any true attention to armor

[limpid sigil]

Bro fixed the HHS

[marsh wagon]

well i put level 4 plates in ill just act like game is working as intended

[tidal lagoon]

thats what we all do, except it never does

[marsh wagon]

one day

[tidal lagoon]

after gta 6 thats for sure

[versed swallow]

guys who wanna play together

[wind pine]

Yep that's still how it works

Afaik I was using some fried ass lvl 6 plates and still eating

[normal echo]

[hot beacon]

i am just trying to get the opening quests done on ground zero. can anyone help. i dont have a mic

[fervent venture]

Hey everyone whats up?

What the hell do I have to do in this game ? 😛

I died 3 times with my main. I have no weapons and the knife doesnt kill anything IF im lucky enough to reach anyone

[tidal lagoon]

if you run out of guns you should use your scav character to gather gear that you can use on your pmc

going into a pmc raid without a gun is a waste of time ur knife wont be helpful

ull likely be stuck in a cycle of dying and losing everything a lot while u are new and learning

[fervent venture]

but my scav is dead for an hour and a half too

[tidal lagoon]

stop shooting other scavs while playing scav

[fervent venture]

I didnt

I dont shoot anything

[tidal lagoon]

what is ur fence rep

[fervent venture]

I have no idea what you are talking about

I just bought the game yesterday

[tidal lagoon]

on the trader page, they all have a reputation score

0.20 for example

your reputation with the trader Fence is also your scav karma and if its low or negative you will have longer scav cooldown and some other stuff

[fervent venture]

• 0.14 it says

-0.14

[tidal lagoon]

ok its not terrible but not good either

[upbeat elk]

"i didnt shoot anyone" - u sure about that?

[fervent venture]

I did yesterday until I realised that scavs dont kill each other

[tidal lagoon]

https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Scavs#Scav_karma on this page u can read more about the karma system, but mainly just dont shoot them and try to extract on ur scav

[fervent venture]

And how do I understand who is friendly or not? How do I know the PMCs? I logged in as a scav and got killed by a person

[normal echo]

That means you shoot fellow scavs on scav

They are neutral

Don't do it, you get punished with lower scav rwp

[fervent venture]

Again I just played a game right now as scav. Someone killed me.

Wtf is this game?

I dont shoot but everyone else does

I cant buy anything from anyone for some reason

[bold kernel]

^ Goober

[normal echo]

Press the blue square next to the price when trying to buy something

[normal echo]

Thru playing the game you will learn scav voice lines, and you can press f1 on scav and they will sometimes respond back

[fervent venture]

Ok now we are getting somewhere 😄

[normal echo]

You will learn ai behavior

To tell if its a person or not

[fervent venture]

I thought scavs were other players like me

[normal echo]

No, mostly ai

Pmcs are all players

Scavs are mostly ai, sometimes players

Player scavs are also neutral to other player scavs

[upbeat elk]

That is purely up to the player

[normal echo]

Not even gonna respond to this

Just nerd emoji message

[fervent venture]

I think I need a person next to me explaining everything as we play

[normal echo]

Yeah probably

[upbeat elk]

Idk youre weird brother. Constantly saying wrong info, while acting like a know it all

[normal echo]

Someone can probably link the Sherpa discord

[normal echo]

You're the one doing the " ☝️ 🤓 actually player scavs can act however they want! " you know exactly what I mean you contrarian bastard, almost never do player scavs shoot on sight, knowing you are a scav as well, and the game also punishes them for such behavior. Grow up

[upbeat elk]

You said it like there are no chances of other pscavs killing pscavs... dont u think warning a new player of it would be a wise thing? Holy youre weird

[normal echo]

I don't care

I'm not engaging anymore

[tidal lagoon]

contrarian bastard

[upbeat elk]

Idk what that even meant but yeah 😄

[tidal lagoon]

i like it

[upbeat elk]

sure u dont, just stop saying weird shit u dont know about... stop trying to be smarter than you are

[normal echo]

Contrarian = person who disagrees for the sake of disagreeing

[normal echo]

🪞

[fervent venture]

And what is the sherpa hub?

[normal echo]

Basically people who just help others

[tidal lagoon]

all that info should be in #sherpa-info

[upbeat elk]

Every single time i've disagreed with you, i provided facts on why you are wrong. Never did you say "oops, my bad" or anything. I think youre projecting

[normal echo]

Don't care

You can stop messaging me, I'm not being baited

[upbeat elk]

Sure u dont

the larper with 1k hours

[fervent venture]

Ill go to sherpa hub then and try to find a teacher or something

[tidal lagoon]

yes

[normal echo]

Probably a good idea

[fervent venture]

Thanks guys ❤️

[normal echo]

You can also use the in-game practice mode

Offline raids where u dont waste gear

[cobalt patio]

anyone wanna help me get good gear i keep dying by hackers

[vernal halo]

I put in the promo code for the Latin event like 12 hours ago, and never got anything in gamre. Do I need to do some other things?

[delicate axle]

how do the rogues react to scavs? I feel like i can run around in there for a while and they ignore me and then suddenly they just insta kill me

on lighthouse

[undone drum]

the one rogue you came to close to you will soft aggro on you

Roughly 10m radius around them

People on the MGs have the same, its not a bubble, but a circle

[delicate axle]

well i just ran in the middle of the area and when i got to the wall, at the W side a rouge ive never come closer to than 100m shot me

from the N roof top

[undone drum]

I will go to ligthouse rn, i scav and PMC there for money

If you want, we can do it together

But we will go night

[delicate axle]

would of been nice but my coffee break is over >.< back to work

i just hop on for a single scav run here n there

[grim delta]

Not necessarily a beginner's question, but I can't for the life of me get network provider part 1 unlocked. Level 48, all prereqs done. I did read it was bugged last wipe. is that still the same?

[upbeat elk]

Didnt have any trouble, nor any of the people i play with. Triple check and make sure u really got everything, idk

[kindred grotto]

missing a task most likely

[undone drum]

https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Network_Provider_-_Part_1#Requirements

[wind geyser]

what is the most popular mode in Arena ? because it takes long time to find a match

[regal viper]

Hi, im new on the game and didnt know about scav karma, I mesed it up, is there any fast way to get the karma up?

[vernal halo]

not really, but if you take car extracts, it'll give you bigger karma rewards, but they diminish over time as you use them on the same map

[regal viper]

Damn, well thx, ill try to go better

[plush drum]

I know it is not beginners, but i am 4 days dry of evasion armband, running plastic suitcase runs on streets....

[kindred grotto]

im on day 1 of finding golden gphone

try resort : )

found 2 there this wipe

check west basement and every black weapon box you can find

[keen wasp]

can someone help me like sort my stash

[unique mantle]

Sort it in what manner ?

[keen wasp]

as in like sell some shit tell me what to use first and what to put where to save space

im trying to reorganize my stash to squeeze as much stuff there as sorted as i can

[unique mantle]

Send a screenshot here

[unique mantle]

And your level and what quests you have done

[keen wasp]

and how do i send you which quests ive done in like 1 ss

do i just send all my active quests here and then you know what ive completed and what not?

[unique mantle]

Just tell me generally

Like i finished punisher 2 etc

[keen wasp]

ive completed punisher pt.1 still not done with 2

dont have peacekeeper or mechanic ammo box unlocked

[unique mantle]

What do you storein those rigs and backpacks ?

[keen wasp]

first pillbox from top/left has a zhuk inside it and it has all the special items i cant sell or are rare or im gonna use soon, flare pistol dogtag case compass rangedfinder "The Eye" and leftover healing items i cant fit in the medicine box

second pillbox from the left/top has an sks mp-18 and ammo i couldnt fit in my ammo box

the first takedown has 2 zhuks inside it and each zhuk is full of keys, all duplicates sold/discarded

thunderbolt rig has junk

second takedown has dismantled weapon receivers

banshee has junk and gen m3 5.56.45mm mags

skanda has junk

[unique mantle]

In general, i would sell the Takedown and Pillbox backpacks and buy more space efficient rigs to store junk

[keen wasp]

third takedown has collector items

rest rigs/backpacks is junk and weapon receivers

[unique mantle]

You can store compasses / eye of the unheard in the junkboxes

[keen wasp]

the partisan bag has other partisans inside it and each leftover space has headphones/helmets at the end theres a pillbox with junk

what are more space efficent rigs and such to store stuff like this?

takedown gives 3 more slots pillbox gives 4 more slots

[unique mantle]

Sell the ak-101 and stock guns in general if you wont use them immedialy, sell mags what you can buy

[keen wasp]

the second done already and why sell the ak-101, is it like not that good?

its 5.56x45mm so all the nato bullets i have tons of

and no guns that use these bullets

other than the ak-101

[unique mantle]

Its just you can buy it if you want to use it, stock guns take a bunch of space

For the pillbox : an MPPV rig gives 12 more slot than it takes

[keen wasp]

so i should replace the pillboxes with mppv's and keep the zhuks?

[unique mantle]

The problem with big big bulky backpack giving small amounts of extra space you cant really fill up the stash with them

[keen wasp]

so pillboxes and takedowns out

[unique mantle]

For the big lvl 6 armors, id you wont use it, just sell them

[keen wasp]

i am gonna use them just not rn because i have alot of weaker but good enough armours from insurance returns]

and i still wanna delay the usage to until i get a good game plan good mood and good quests for a certain good map

[unique mantle]

Trust me, its a really big waste of space, when you get good, you will buy good armors either way

Plus the zabralo is really bad, its lvl 6 but like 20kg

You get 200k or so and buy a third junkbox, so much more value

[keen wasp]

aight ill sell the zebralo and keep the thor then ig

and buy a scav junk box with that

[unique mantle]

I would wait a little to make some buffer

You dont want to run out of money

[keen wasp]

i cant even go into a raid rn tho cause i need space

i have a 6sh118 with alot of other backpacks and loot inside it

on my pmc

[unique mantle]

Then lets clear a little

[keen wasp]

bought the junk box already

gonna fill it up

[unique mantle]

You can take off the supressor and buffertube from your guns to save 2 extra slot

[keen wasp]

and then see how much space i have

[unique mantle]

Sell mags that tou can buy they are generally 1/4th space efficient than ammo stacks

[keen wasp]

i did sell all of them that i can buy at a reasonable price/from traders

[unique mantle]

Korund backplaye can go too, its a kinda pointless item

[keen wasp]

i kept stuff like svd 20 rounders gen3 ak mags and such

[unique mantle]

Sell it on flea and buy it back later

Send a pic when you are done

[keen wasp]

pretty much filled the whole scav junk box up already

wow

[unique mantle]

Feel ya, i have 6

Is you stash still lvl 1 ?

[keen wasp]

no more space in the junk box

[keen wasp]

upped to lvl 2 some time ago

like 1-3 days ago

the next upgrade costs 8.5m roubles

and lvl 3 traders

[unique mantle]

Lvl 3 kinda worth it, but after that you have to buy item cases as they are more money efficient

[keen wasp]

about the korund-v plates

what armours do they fit in

just the korund?

[unique mantle]

Rightclick and linked search

Idk from head all the plate configs

[keen wasp]

just these armours, i guess they arent the best?

also the bagarly plate carrier but thats kinda mid

[unique mantle]

The problem with the backplaye that it can only protect your back

I would sell it

[keen wasp]

i have both front and backplate for korund vm

[unique mantle]

Then buy one of them empty and put it in

[keen wasp]

that works

[robust schooner]

anyone know where to get sewing kits and shit i cant find shit

[keen wasp]

the krasavch spawns in like technical supply boxes and loot on the ground sometimes

dufflebags too

[unique mantle]

Woods bunker, Shoreline pigfarm

[robust schooner]

frick is shoreline hard

[unique mantle]

Its one of the out of the way place and the car extract is right next to it

[keen wasp]

shoreline is okay lol i dont see it being as bad as like some other maps

streets or lighthouse for example, i actually enjoyed shoreline the most out of all maps

[unique mantle]

Btw @keen wasp you want to get lvl 35 and do private clinic quest to get a bunch of space

[keen wasp]

it gives like a thicc item case right

[unique mantle]

Ye

The btr questline gives a thicc weaponcase

[keen wasp]

how long is the btr questline

[unique mantle]

Idk 20 quests ? Plus you have to woods after doing it to finish and get a new quest

[keen wasp]

is this funny space saving tactic

what item should i reserve my mppv rig for

cause like i bought one already and idk if i should put like food there or attachments or what

[tidal lagoon]

are u using it for stash storage?

[keen wasp]

yes

[tidal lagoon]

just put whatever

[unique mantle]

Store everything in it that would otherwise take up stash space

[tidal lagoon]

if u really wanna organize and stuff u could use it for keys

i dont see the point in that when u need to use rigs tho

atp u just fill everything with anything until u can get proper solutions in place

[keen wasp]

what about this armour and these plates? @unique mantle

why is it 11kg as a concealable vest with so little prot

[unique mantle]

Armor ok, plate is combined materials which is really heavy and its shit to repair

[normal echo]

good plate carrier, bad plates

lvl 3 and very very light, but the plates it comes with are ass

[keen wasp]

so sell the plates?

[unique mantle]

Ye, you can buy lvl 4 plates for like 30k

[normal echo]

well only if you have any better ones lol

[normal echo]

those plates are lvl 4

[unique mantle]

Ye, but shit lvl 4, good lvl 4s are 30k

[normal echo]

there is not much diff between lvl 4 plates bro

ppl are running lvl 4 penning ammo now

[unique mantle]

3kg vs 1kg per plate is a lot

[normal echo]

swapping lvl 4 plates all you get is just weight cutdown

[normal echo]

yeah not worth the money when you have only 1 mil

[unique mantle]

If i had that account i would only run press vest/kirasa with lvl 3 plates

They always come back and protects from scavs, but for those learning the game its fine

[keen wasp]

this looks better i think

some of the rigs are still empty

so a bit of spare space

[unique mantle]

Then just store your ammo too

[keen wasp]

mhm just put it in one of the rigs

[normal echo]

@keen wasp

i would run this armor a lot if i had it unlocked

[keen wasp]

i have 3 ready from insurance returns and one on me

[unique mantle]

You can pick these up from scavs

[keen wasp]

its a very good armour i know

[normal echo]

yeah it's decent

[normal echo]

they dont even have a front plate half the time lol

or a lvl 3 one instead

[unique mantle]

Early wipe i run them all the time

[unique mantle]

Scammed

[unique mantle]

Dont forget to activate a new bsg promo code for some extra gear and ammo: TARKOVLATAM

You activate it on the official website

[keen wasp]

why am i always missing like 1 item for a certain upgrade and if i could get that 1 item i could upgrade 1-3 stations and get rid of alot of junk

[keen wasp]

you didnt see the loot from it already?

[unique mantle]

Maybe i am blind

[unique mantle]

I was looking for a skull ring for 2 weeks

And for helixes for 3 weeks

[vernal halo]

is it for pvp only? I entered it awhile ago, and never got anything. I'm playing PVE

[unique mantle]

I am pretty sure its pvp only

[pallid ruin]

theyre usually pvp only iirc

[unborn spindle]

What level r u?

[normal echo]

Why are you asking?

[pallid ruin]

mid armor imo, lvl2 softs are meh

you can pay 20k more or even the same price and have lvl3 soft

if u wanna do rigs

[normal echo]

For which armor

Also idk if you run lvl 4, I dont think level 3 soft armor matters that much

[pallid ruin]

avs / m2

as an example

[pallid ruin]

softs matter once the bullet pens your plates

i run lvl5 plates and lvl3 soft

[normal echo]

Like, most players are gonna pen your best, and scavs aren't getting through lvl 4 with no soft y'know

[normal echo]

Lvl 5 is understandable to opt in for lvl 3

For lvl 4 I dont think the difference is that big

I can maybe hit some calculator sites but thats my perception

[pallid ruin]

soft armor will eat up the remainder of whatever is left after it pens ur plates

[normal echo]

Lvl 4 is for scavs, lvl 5 or 6 is for PvP, no reason to opt in for lvl 3 soft if running scav vests

[pallid ruin]

tbf it usually does, especially since its a difference of 20k rubles max

[tidal lagoon]

will never catch me running t4 and below w lvl 3 soft

[pallid ruin]

a bullet might pen lvl5 plate and stop on your soft, its not a simple case of penetrating t5 and going straight through your soft

better safe than sorry and run something better when youre already considering lvl2 soft

[normal echo]

trying to do some math on this site i saw in a gigabeef video, called tarkogunsmith

find what the diff in damage taken after pen between a trooper with monoclete plates and lvl 3 soft vs the 6b23 i posted

[pallid ruin]

5.45ps vs lvl2 soft lvl4 plates vs lvl3 soft lvl4 plates

[normal echo]

i cant see shit in there

[normal echo]

why are you calculating for ammo nobody uses?

i'm running M80 on the test

[pallid ruin]

because its the default setting and im on my phone on a break at work

and that site sucks for mobile

here u got it on m80 at lvl2 lvl3 soft and t5 plates

the difference is negligible since its m80 in the end but not everyone is running 40pen+ ammo

there is a difference nevertheless

[normal echo]

basically everyone is, let's be honest

it's 2 months into wipe

[pallid ruin]

so? ive seen numerous people under lvl20

not everyone has the time to nolife the game and be level 40+, and there are still people who just bought the game - not everyone starts as soon as the wipe starts

[normal echo]

i wouldn't say it's economically viable for new players to spend extra money in hopes they run into a new player 2 months into wipe

just for lvl 3 soft armor

i'd say the difference is negligible

m80

this is vs trooper

762x39 PS vs trooper

PS vs 6b23

basically you may survive an extra chest shot of PS ammo

there is benefit, but it's pretty negligible, i wouldn't go out of my way to spend extra to buy a trooper

[vernal halo]

I'm in pve mode, and I need 33 xp to level up. What are some things I can look up on the flea, to uncover and get xp? I just did the figures

looks like a lot of stuff is already shown

[keen wasp]

keycards idk

keys goons rig and other stuff like that

6b13 derivatives

[vernal halo]

I got enough xp now, ty

Electric drills never seem to exist on Reserve. What map would have better chance of spawning one?

[normal echo]

go into someone's gym, break your arm and heal it

oh u alrdy got it

[vernal halo]

I forgot healing gives xp. Back in the day, that xp wouldn't count unless you were in a raid, which was weird

[keen wasp]

how can i get out of train depot without mines map

and not breaking my legs too

[normal echo]

i think they may have reworked it? but healing doesn't give exp for counting to survive status

so you couldn't go into raid and heal and get exp and extract

[main heart]

dunno if this the place for help... havent played eft in like 6 months trying to come back and play but im not receving any auth code emails.... done all the shit it says on bsg website to help out waited 1 hour for it and nothing.... any helpers?

[keen wasp]

chat help pls how to get out of train depot

whats the spots i can search for the mines map

[normal echo]

go on top of the train and walk along the absolute middle of the train

to avoid landmines

[keen wasp]

then break my legs and run to which exfil

[normal echo]

whichever is closest?

which ones do u have

[keen wasp]

im absolutely fucked

other side of the map with broken legs

[normal echo]

zb14 it is

[normal echo]

spam pills i guess

[keen wasp]

i have the key

[normal echo]

shouldn't have went to the btr place with no extract

[keen wasp]

i needed a quest for the btr guy and got jumped by scavs

[normal echo]

get out of the depot first

then worry about the extract

maybe u will blow up on the train bro

[keen wasp]

im very overweight too

do i drop my mag then jump or what

fracture too bruv

[vernal halo]

what is max scav rep?

[keen wasp]

6.0

[vernal halo]

trying to look up scav rep info on the wiki

[keen wasp]

8 mins broken legs can i run up to zb 14 in time

now 6 im still looting med camp for a splint

[normal echo]

max? technically infinite
the only milestone is 6 though

6 lets you chill with bosses and unlocks the special fence shop

[keen wasp]

was at zb-014 but it was closed bruv

i really want a bigger secure

so i can carry a splint there

or just a surv12 cause it also fixes fractures

[normal echo]

Beta container or do punisher for epsilon

[vernal halo]

last I played the number is a lie above 6, or at least for when you take negative scav rep. If you're at like 24, and take -.01 rep, you'll be at 5

[keen wasp]

beta is like 1.1mil ig good spare cash dump and im aiming for epsilon too

[normal echo]

What? How is that a lie? You can keep earning infinite rep, but always when above 6 you go down to below 6

When you lose rep above 6 you go down to 6 then subtract how much you are supposed to lose

You have benefits from being above 6 as well

Such as reduced scav cooldown

[vernal halo]

The math I just did should check out to what you just said

[keen wasp]

is there a way i can turn dollars into roubles?

[slender dew]

not always but close. 1st wipe I went from 12 scav rep to 8 on one kill, then the next raid making a mistake I went to 5.96.

[slender dew]

nope

[normal echo]

That can't be intentional

I've never seen it not go down to below 6

[normal echo]

If you buy shit for dollars and sell it or list it on flea

[keen wasp]

what hte fuck

it says approx 1.1m on the beta container price in the like flea market thingy

[wary pewter]

When you are above 6.0 Fence rep any scav kill lower your rep by 2.1 or down to 5.8 whichever comes first

[keen wasp]

but im now seeing these virtex prices and all the other items and its defo not 1.1m

[normal echo]

Yeah I think it only counts the price if you sold those items to traders

[keen wasp]

the thing is like 2-2.5m

for a small qol increase in your secure container size

[normal echo]

I've seen way bigger losses than 2.1 straight back to 5.8ish

[keen wasp]

just so you can carry the meds you only need and a docs case

[wary pewter]

That is because it was a boss or boss guard. I said for scavs it was 2.1

[wary pewter]

If you kill a boss above 6.0 it doesnt matter how much you have it will tank you all the way down to 5.8

[normal echo]

Cms, ammo stack, keytool, afak, splint

[normal echo]

Any source? AFAIK any rep loss above 6 takes u to 6

[wary pewter]

I am the source. I have over 10,000 scav raids under my belt and even more pmc raids

[wary pewter]

I did 3600~ scav raids one wipe and got my rep up to 34.89 and right before wipe I killed Killa to test and it lowered me down to 5.8 off the one killa kill alone

If there is an actual cap on the maximum rep lost for bosses it is to stupid high that no one has ever gotten it

[fossil elm]

is west 218 221 and 222 still connected so i dont have to buy all 3 keys

[keen wasp]

painkillers?

i think im gonna do like docs case afak splint painkillers and ammo stack tho

well just did woods to have a break from shoreline now time to come back for health care privacy 1!

[normal echo]

Yeah forgot, take em over the afak

[keen wasp]

also why keytool

is it because space saving?

also id rather have a docs case with extract keys and cash stack for btr/intel items/extract cash

[normal echo]

1 less slot than the docs case

[normal echo]

I carry 5k for car in pocket, and all the Intel items I just carry in my bag, not a lot of space to spare in the beta

[keen wasp]

5k for car in pocket and then just take more when its woods/streets for btr?

these lighthouse quests are really starting to pile up

when should i start doing them

[lavish silo]

Hello! Any tips on how to know when "Knight" is up ? And how to fight him ?

[celest anchor]

When he rushes you

Funnel him into a doorway with the door closed and as soon as thst door opens blast em

[lavish silo]

So if i'm in the open i'm just fucked right ?

[celest anchor]

Unless you see him first

Yes

[lavish silo]

Alright thanks dude

[normal echo]

Nah I rarely ever take BTR on woods

[keen wasp]

i gotta do btr quests tho

[celest anchor]

Also he has friends

Birdeye and bigpipe

[lavish silo]

Do they roam the map like knight ?

[celest anchor]

They all roam together

[lavish silo]

I feel like birdeye and bigpipe are only found in rogue camp

[normal echo]

The goons rotate between woods shoreline customs and lighthouse at random times, check sites like goontracker for current location

[lavish silo]

Oh thanks i will check that!

[celest anchor]

If one spawns they are all in the raid with you most likely nearby

[normal echo]

Tips on fighting them: use grenades to make them move and not shoot at you, also grenades give you info because they scream when you throw one

Big pipe and knight will always rush you when either of the 3 goons spot you

[lavish silo]

Yep, i know how to fight them when in a good spot its not much different as fighting rogues but when he roams and when i'm in the open i feel so hopeless

[normal echo]

And birdeye will usually be the last survivor and run away, throw grenades around to hear him scream and chase him down

[celest anchor]

His footsteps are silent btw

[lavish silo]

Alright noted, i'll keep that in mind ty lads

[lavish silo]

Just like partizan ?

[celest anchor]

Yes

Parmesean

[lavish silo]

Damn that's rough

[celest anchor]

Thats the goons squad for you

[normal echo]

Why are you hunting the goons at lvl 22 anyway

[lavish silo]

Rogue farming

[normal echo]

Theres no way you have the quest

[lavish silo]

I dont want to fight them :D

[normal echo]

What do rogues have to do with goons

[lavish silo]

I just died from him farming rogues

[celest anchor]

I think he's on lighthouse

[normal echo]

You can just wait the goon rotation out and they will fuck off from lighthouse

[lavish silo]

He came to me on the mountain

Yes i will check that next time!

[celest anchor]

Unlucky

[lavish silo]

And i was so confused because usually i find them roaming around rogue camp and usually am able to kill them without much trouble

But the time when the dude comes for me in the middle of the map its when i feel so hopeless

[keen wasp]

g18c with the big stick mag (33 capacity)
is like pretty good for fac lol

you can camp offices and throw 33 luget cci bullets into anyone and kill them

the big customer/chemical part 4 is a multi choice quest but if i pick one side the other side gets alot of minus rep?

oh i can also do therapists route there

so t hats a 3 choice quest with giant penalty

-0.25 rep is a big number

and i need to either lose prapors or therapists rep too..

[normal echo]

Next you get quests to earn that back

[keen wasp]

yea see begineers chat rn and move that convo there

[normal echo]

Therapist needs some random cheap bullshit keys
Prapor needs 10 m67 grenades not found in raid
Skier needs 1 mil roubles

I always go skier cause his rep is slightly harder to earn than the rest and cause 1mil is a lot early game

Especially this wipe

[keen wasp]

well uhh i have 0.61 rep for skier

i guess i can spare that rep and earn it back later when i need it

aka when i need lvl 3 skier

[normal echo]

U may not have the money

[keen wasp]

but anyways whats a better choice tho 2x ammo box or 1x injectors case

[normal echo]

Therapist is the free rep, I always end with her having the highest

[keen wasp]

i do need thera rep the most rn tho

im just gonna leave chemical part 4 for now

kinda a riskyish quest

[normal echo]

Her quests are free

They are either fetch quests or go and mark sth

[keen wasp]

well now i see i guess

[kindred grotto]

btr is free loot on woods

[leaden swift]

intelegence folder guide please

[undone drum]

checked tarkov wiki?

[leaden swift]

tank u

[green thistle]

anyone here on asia or au servers? (i dont have any pals to play with)

[celest anchor]

#regional-communities message

There is a dedicated regional community for aus/nz

Since you guys are sorta trapped in your region

[rigid gyro]

anyone need help with woods quests

[vernal halo]

I hit transition on a thing, and then went to another extract on the map, since i couldn't figure out how to stop it

how can I use the extraction I'm at?

[slender dew]

you can't, you have ot use the transit exfil

[gusty ridge]

if you interact with a transit then no other extracts on the map will work for you

can we post links to the wiki in this chat?

[undone drum]

of course

[pallid ruin]

tbf considering it costs the same price or 10k more for t3 softs id say its worth it

t3 soft, t4 plate for 65k

that aint a bad price at all

and the slots aint bad either + since its a rig theres a high chance of it coming back from insurance

enough spots for 4 spare mags, a salewa (if you run one) and a bunch of nades

also important thing to mention - many people also run smgs, in those cases t3 softs help way more than with higher caliber rounds

since it costs the same i dont see much of a reason to run t2 softs unless your flea market is locked

[oak lily]

What are some good mouse recommendations for tarkov. I have been using the razor viper mini. The mouse was fine for a couple of years but recently, my mouse has been disconnecting so I have been thinking of a new mouse.

[bold kernel]

Played like 3 days of the wipe then i dident have time, now im free tho. Im VERY new and barely know what the hell to do, nonetheless maps/mission locations. Id prefer a duo but a trio is fine.

[pallid lintel]

Hello! I literally just got the game today and have no idea how to play any help is appciated

[patent wadi]

Hey, Id recommend getting a sherpa you can find info in #sherpa-info , they might be a queue so youll need to be patient, if you cant wait to play start off by grabbing your quests in the tradring category, any trader with a green checkmark as a quest for you, follow your quest from there, Id recommend doing practice raids at first to get acquainted with the basic game mechanics

[woeful mortar]

Yup The Goons Are Here, Never walk the waterfront near con site on Shoreline at the start of a raid, they always find me here every fuckin time.

[slender dew]

sending you a pm

[surreal dragon]

anyone got tips for shoreline? everytime i play the map theres some dude like 4 meters away from where i spawn

[topaz forge]

learn the spawns & run away from other people

shoreline spawns fucking suck

if you dont get one of the corners theres people on both sides of you

[surreal dragon]

ya i just finished the quest but i kinda played it like a pussy, i camped behind a rock for most of the time then went to resort to get it done

but honestly i dont give a fuuuuuck

[topaz forge]

yea no do what u gotta do

[surreal dragon]

this is getting me my thicc item case so

[topaz forge]

especially for quests, they barely give you shit

[surreal dragon]

ikr

[topaz forge]

if you run around dying all the time (like i do) youll just go broke all the time

[surreal dragon]

ik

the both times i did shoreline today i INSTANTLY died

because i would spawn in run 5 feet and run into a duo

[eager lantern]

hey, i have the nuts and bolts, and the leatherman to make my workbench

when i open the hideout its only showing i have the multitool and one screw nuts

i dont know what to do

[abstract harness]

hideout upgrade items must be FiR, if theyre not they wont work

[eager lantern]

I did find them all in a raid

[abstract harness]

send ss

cuz idk then

they have the fir symbol in bottom right?

[eager lantern]

oh wait

Nvm, i just filtered by fir, and i only have one bolts and one screw nuts found from raid

[abstract harness]

yea u gotta live with them for them to have the fir tag

[bold kernel]

Brand new-ish player looking for a sherpa who can help!

[full mauve]

@bold kernel sending u a dm

[normal echo]

i one time literally spawned there and almost died

[keen ridge]

I’m level 9 and still pretty new to Tarkov. I haven’t had anyone properly explain the game to me, so I could use some help especially with quests like the Jaeger quest. Is this the right channel for that, or should I ask elsewhere? My DMs are open if anyone is willing to help. once the game is back obviously. Thanks in advance

[ashen elm]

I feel like this is a proper place to ask that! I'm actually on that quest myself on PvE. Wish you luck!

[keen ridge]

okay thank you very much

[ashen elm]

If I finish a scav run and simply decline to take any loot at the end of the raid, is that loot then automatically sold at a price to the player?

[normal echo]

no?

if you don't carry the loot over and don't press the "sell all" button, the loot is just deleted

there is a button that says "sell all" that sells everything that is currently in the scav inventory, so you can take stuff you actually want, leave stuff you dont want, press "sell all" and it will sell stuff you left on the scav

it sells everything to fence so the sale prices suck ass

[ashen elm]

Ah, thanks!

[slow solstice]

hey whats best map to loot intelligence and the map for intel in hideout

also, is it worth it to do bitcoin farm?

[drifting leaf]

whats the best color filters?

[ashen elm]

I gather the mechanic is roughly "Gas to power, power to bitcoin farm, bitcoin prints the bitcoin" If that is still true then id say its passive income.

[slow solstice]

gas to power, power to bitcoin farm?

[ashen elm]

Yeah. I think it essentially runs on the generator and it is a passive production of bitcoin. it only produces if it is powered

[slow solstice]

aight

thank you,
for bitcoin farm 1 do u think i need traders higher then lvl 2?

what map i should run for intelligence folders

[ashen elm]

If you can find all the items in raid anything is possible to build in your hideout to a point

idk about the quest yet

I would reccomend consulting the Wiki

[slow solstice]

i need for intelligence in hideout, the intelligence folders 4 and 1 maps

[ashen elm]

The Wiki on fandom has some info you could use, id suggest looking there for your research purposes on items

[opaque osprey]

check reserve its got alot of cabnets to check

[slow solstice]

alright i bought some keys aswell

ill try to play it more

this is unfortunate

[pallid ruin]

luckily roubles are easier to get than finding all those parts fir

[delicate axle]

how does AI aggro range work? Do they just switch over to longer/shorter distance at certain times? or is it more dynamic depending on time?

[bold kernel]

If I use an item as an auxiliary tool in hideout, does it lose its fir status?

[finite sail]

where can i actually find some eletric drills? ppl keep saying streets but ive never found one there.... did interchange and same thing..

[normal echo]

interchange inside tech stores or anywhere inside the big wooden technical supply crates

[blazing elbow]

Nope.

[blazing elbow]

If you're far away and they're aggro'd on you, they switch to single and auto (maybe even burst) if their gun has it if you're closer. How far they see is dependent on time, weather, etc.

[topaz forge]

yes

[bold kernel]

One says yes other says no which one is it

[topaz forge]

unless its changed in a recent patch, its yes

i havent crafted anything in a bit but i have plenty earlier this wipe

lost fir on the toolsets i used that were fir

[normal echo]

what?

no this is wrong

you do not lose fir status

[topaz forge]

i did ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[normal echo]

i used these for arena crates today

you probably used the toolsets for something else

or bought them

[topaz forge]

odd

[normal echo]

by the way

no snow

is nice on the eyes

the rain being back however is not nice on the ears

[topaz forge]

i know for a fact i used fir toolsets for a craft and it spit them back out non fir at one point in the wipe

bc i used the non fir ones for the factory quest

[finite sail]

ive been doing that yeah... might just quit this fkin game if i dont ever get it

[normal echo]

i hope your pain is amplified by the information that i found a drill last raid in a stash

:^)

[finite sail]

thats nice

ive only found 1 in a toolbox behind goshan

[normal echo]

hey thats not bad at all

[finite sail]

since then ive tried at so many spots

and my hideout is stuck since everything needs a drill ahahaha

[normal echo]

yep

this is why i say fir hideout is dogshit underbaked

they put in like 10 braincells into fir hideout by making 1 craft: toolsets

[finite sail]

yeah idk why they did that, last time ive played was 0.14 and it was good like it was before... fk man ahahahaha

[normal echo]

everything else is random dogshit rng

[finite sail]

just found an Osprey rig and some superwater in a raid, that i can find tho lmao..

[robust dock]

hey i need help i some raids need to get the starter missions but getting killed befor extract

[surreal dragon]

got my first BTC, is this considered low value when selling to therapist?

[icy terrace]

bitcoin prices are linked with irl prices so if bitcoin irl drops so does in game

they went for 942k just last week

its a lot of money for a 1 slot still

[normal echo]

no

[surreal dragon]

should i wait untill like 800k maybe?

[normal echo]

no

[keen wasp]

err

arent fir bitcoins for like mechanic

[normal echo]

no

[keen wasp]

nie nie nie wszystko na nie

[surreal dragon]

idk who to trust, 1 guy is telling me 700k is low and 700k isnt

[normal echo]

700k is lower than it was at start of wipe but is it worth it holding onto it for 2 months for 100k profit?

just sell it and use the money now

thats how money works - you buy goods and services with it, otherwise it's worthless

[surreal dragon]

true

and where i found it didnt cost me anything as well

and i think the area got a silent buff

[normal echo]

which one

[surreal dragon]

woods marked bunker

[normal echo]

i'll check it out next raid

[surreal dragon]

ik it was really really good at one time

[normal echo]

10 min fucking queue time btw

[surreal dragon]

but then they nerfed it

[normal echo]

this applies to every loot location in the game

in my memory they buffed loot twice

[surreal dragon]

but recently i found like 1.4M marked room keys

[normal echo]

and then re-nerfed it

[surreal dragon]

and now i just found a BTC

[normal echo]

wait which bunker, the new one?

there's 2 bunkers with marked circles

one at the top of the mountain, other at the foothills towards the car village

[surreal dragon]

the marked circle bunker next to scav town

every raid i try to hit it

because u can get posters, ammo, and valuables

[surreal dragon]

@normal echo any luck with the bunker?

[normal echo]

im hunting shturman so im not in the area

just had audio completely cut out for the rest of the raid

[surreal dragon]

the first time i killed shturman i didnt even realize lol

and the area was emtpy so i could have got the icepick thingy

but i didnt know i killed him

[wooden sandal]

i am bad (PVE) 🦧

[sand sand]

Anyone know how to link EFT and arena together?

[normal echo]

you just play both games and play

own both games*

[lavish kindle]

new update?? my guns wont pull and im standing at a 45 degree angle and can not straighten

[sand sand]

I have and i still cant transfer anything

[primal chasm]

@lavish kindle hit alt

[lavish kindle]

Ill give it a try

[normal echo]

did you unlock ref on the main game?

[sand sand]

on EFT? if so then no idk how to

didnt know you had to

[normal echo]

complete "easy money part 1"

you unlock it after completing "burning rubber" which is the first skier quest

[sand sand]

I dont have burning rubber im lvl 3 with skier and dont have anything or even recall it

[normal echo]

it's the first quest, you get it by opening the game bro

[sand sand]

Oh nvm i remember but i still havnt gotten easy money i think

[normal echo]

if you did burning rubber, you should have easy money pt 2

part 1 sorry

[rare sapphire]

anyone wanna play?

[sand sand]

I dont have it

this is all i have

[normal echo]

press "show completed"

wait

are you on PVE

[sand sand]

Ya is it only PVP locked?

[normal echo]

yes ref doesnt work on pve

[sand sand]

Thats dumb thank you then

[brazen steeple]

Hey all! I have a question:
How do i find a scope for a gun easily? I have L1 traders and some gun(ak-74), can i somehow put a scope on it? It's unbereable to play without it,

[silk heart]

do you mean like an lpvo, or a red dot

[brazen steeple]

Any scope. I think i don't have much options on L1 traders

[silk heart]

like a magnified one?

[brazen steeple]

Magnified or red dot

[brazen steeple]

I just want a list of scopes for my gun, so i can check if i can buy any

[silk heart]

go flea, search Wal

[brazen steeple]

Ok, bought it. How do i put it on my ak-74?

[silk heart]

you need to buy a rail

so probably the bastion dust cover

[brazen steeple]

Ok, but how do you know it?
Can i find suitable rail and scope by myself?

I don't want to ask every time on every gun what are available scopes

[silk heart]

are you level 15?

[brazen steeple]

No

[silk heart]

try and build the work bench in the hideout

[brazen steeple]

done

[silk heart]

lovely. right click your gun and press edit build/preset

[brazen steeple]

ok

[brazen steeple]

i have built the gun like you said: i have ak-74 with bastion rail and mrs, but how i can learn it myself what i can put on a gun?

[terse gyro]

im level 8 but i can buy stuff from the flea market from prapor and other vendors is this normal?

i assume its just an alternate way of buying from the trading window?

[maiden marlin]

yes

ig to help you get used to fleas layout

[terse gyro]

ok thanks

[normal echo]

Yes

[normal echo]

By using the preset button, it shows every attachment you can put on the gun you select

[bold kernel]

Anyone have updated postfx settings for spring

[unkempt egret]

Vendors goods are also listed on the flea market, it's rather convenient compared to looking for parts on trader windows to compare prices.

[keen wasp]

can somebody help me with bunker pt.2 quest?

[bold kernel]

Played like 3 days of the wipe then i dident have time, now im free tho. Im VERY new and barely know what the hell to do, nonetheless maps/mission locations. Id prefer a duo but a trio is fine.

[half kernel]

@bold kernel EU or NA?

[bold kernel]

NA

._.

[half kernel]

Bugger 😦

East coast?

[bold kernel]

yea

US east

[half kernel]

Can probably give it a whirl and see what my ping is like.

[bold kernel]

Oh my friend just got on

sorry 😭

[half kernel]

No worries.

[amber pasture]

im not very new, (800 hrs), but i want to know how more experienced players would fight sanitar. this felt like uncounterable bs without the nade callout

[silk heart]

zaryas are like 8k always have 1 or 2, or 7

[amber pasture]

okay thats smart gotcha

[keen wasp]

why are your colors so depressing

what setting did you change so its that weird

[amber pasture]

unsure, but my nvidia digital vibrancy is maxxed so i counterbalance it by turning down the ingame vibrancy

just think it looks best that way but its not that depressing for me dw lol

[keen wasp]

that is so old factory vibeish

[amber pasture]

lol

[keen wasp]

aaand the kit is gone

unheard ed duo got me

how is this shit possible while using ap 6.3, there is like literally no better ammo for 9x19mm

[weary leaf]

with the ap6.3s you gotta take advantage of the low recoil smgs have and aim for the head, it has 30 pen which is just not enough

iirc it takes like 8-10 hits to pen lvl4

[rigid gyro]

mistake you made is using 9mm in the first place

[craggy frigate]

is there anything i can do here to sell the stuff that in my sorting table or can it only be discarded once its moved there if there isnt enough space?

[weary leaf]

no way to sell that unfortunately

[craggy frigate]

what if i close tha game and open it back up? will it all dissapear?

[weary leaf]

not sure, tarkov is kinda weird with this, sometimes it throws you back into this transfer screen and sometimes it just wipes all the stuff from your scav

id say try to make some space in your stash by doing things like taking of pistol grips and just tetris the stuff in there somewhere

[craggy frigate]

thank you for the tip

[languid warren]

also things like the magazines there could be emptied and just discarded, they all cost about max 2-3k roubles but take up 2 slots, obviously make sure to empty them for the ammo

[craggy frigate]

its annoying you can empty them but not fill them (inside of the scav screen)

[strange iron]

too be fair your stash also seems cluttered with a lot of stuff that you dont actually need/isnt worth keeping

[languid warren]

oh my bad thought you could, its tough we have all been in ur position a million times, all I can say is prioritise whats most important, even make sure you have a little room for scav loot before going into the raid

[strange iron]

This if i can see my stash is full i take the biggest backpack rig and gun and just throw it on my pmc and fill the backpack too be sure i have room

[languid warren]

yes exactly 😄

[narrow urchin]

is the terragroup storage worth running or should i sell?

[weary leaf]

if you want to do the quest id keep it for now, but otherwise id probably just sell it, not really worth it

[lusty edge]

you could possibly create more space by taking out the gun grip and the mag to make em into a 1x item

then cram all the 1x1 items into a bag

[quick quarry]

i just bought eft standard edition is there anything i should know (i only know what papa pestily told me so far)

[undone drum]

no idea what pestily says

• every loss is a leason

• if you loose fights you are playing to predictable

• use tarkov wiki

• ask specific questions here

[ashen elm]

Just sending that here because i felt this could be a fair place too

[lavish socket]

anyone wanna griup up?

[craggy frigate]

should I just sell this to therapist?

[undone drum]

you don´t have space for it in secure container right?

[craggy frigate]

nope

[undone drum]

selling is a good idea then
or if you close to lvl 15, it gives 50K on flea

[craggy frigate]

45k for the therapist

so i guess its not worth saving

[undone drum]

sounds about right

sell it to the lady

[craggy frigate]

is the guiger counter worth saving?

[ashen elm]

Makes me think if i should swap the grizzly and cms for a car FAK, the sur12 and a wallet...

[undone drum]

not really

[ashen elm]

I dont think so. Perhaps holding onto streamer items if you have a lucky scav AND you can afford it for when collector comes up, other than that, id sell if it isnt going towards a recipe or upgrade

[earnest venture]

I’m struggling to get the sledgehammer for my hideout is there any common spawns for it or a cultist recipe

[undone drum]

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

no cultist circle sadly

you and @odd dome
should go on a quest to find it

[odd dome]

Oh rip 💀

[earnest venture]

What’s the best map for high concentration of tech crates

[ashen elm]

What site do you use? I like the fact you can show the number of spawns in per map

is that the wiki?

[undone drum]

i just googled

"tarkov map with Technical supply crate"

first thing came up

[ashen elm]

Ah, i see

[amber pasture]

shoreline NE corner of the map (bandit outpost or whatever)

thats my go to spot for 90% of hideout stuff

[pallid ruin]

tfw over half of the questions here could be resolved with a simple google search

[ashen elm]

Should I just keep the visor down on the k-15? That lvl 2 could save the head eye for a moment of error but I feel the breathing associated with it is also a fair point to lift it if you don't hear em first.

For context, I do have a bind to toggle face shields on my mouse, mouse wheel tilt to the left. I could practice on keeping it up and flipping it down when combat is about to begin if that is the "proper way to get good"

[dusty gazelle]

ANY IDEA WHY I CANT TURN THIS IN FOR GUNSMITH 4?

[maiden marlin]

ew checkpoint

[maiden marlin]

prob take bullet out idk

[strange iron]

where the fuck are my weeklys for 200k xp 2mil 3 lega and 2 crates

[maiden marlin]

cuz im lvl 62

it scales with level somewhat

same with dailies

[strange iron]

fair im only 48

[maiden marlin]

how much does task rerolls cost u

[strange iron]

depends

anywhere from 18k too like 200k

[maiden marlin]

my dailies cost 100-200k to reroll and weeklys cost 600-800k per reroll

i havent really been playing arena much cuz the audio

[surreal dragon]

i like the feel of short/small smgs like the MP7, MP5, MP9, P90 and the SR-2M but they all have kinda bad MOA. Is there any smg that has decent MOA?

[topaz forge]

theyre really good enough for the distance the ammo lets them hit

[surreal dragon]

i wanna run something on woods

i know that might be stupid but like

[topaz forge]

long p90 if you dont mind unsuppressed

stm probably has decent moa but its semi

long p90 really isnt that long since its a bullpup

short + suppressor makes it nearly as long

[surreal dragon]

yea i ran the p90 short with supperssor and i slammed a couple of people

but then some rat with a sniper killed me

@topaz forge the MOA difference with short barrel and long barrel is INSANE

[topaz forge]

lolll

[surreal dragon]

like long barrel is 1.02 and short barrel suppressed is 4

when i used it i swear suppressed was 2

[maiden marlin]

bruh

[topaz forge]

average checkpoint game

[flat fable]

what traders should i focus to lvl up on my standard account?

[merry helm]

hi guys i am new in eft and im looking what is the best graphic settings i have rx 6700xt cpu i5 12400f and 32 gega ram ty

[winter karma]

anybody wanna help me and my buddy do some questing on woods ?

[topaz forge]

depends on the guns you wanna use tbh

good 5.56, .300 BLK, .308 are on peacekeeper

good 5.45, 7.62x39 and 54, are on prapor

peacekeeper has ap 6.3, prapor has pbp, so you kinda need both for 9mm progression

jaeger also has .308 bcp fmj before peacekeeper has m80 so hes worth it for .308 progression too

[near nexus]

ive been dying too much on this game i need some help mann

ground zero i live a s a scav but the secon im a pmc i die

[normal echo]

all

[near nexus]

good or bad stats 4 scavs 1 pmc (extracts)

[limpid sigil]

if this is you, and you really only have 8 hours, you shouldnt even bother looking at your stats

give it a wipe first

[sharp moth]

someone give me a good gun build idk what gun to use

[normal echo]

trader levels? budget?

[sharp moth]

bro anything does not matter

[normal echo]

wut? yeah it does

[sharp moth]

bro give me any build i will make it if its good

[normal echo]

you need good ammo as well, tarkov isn't just about the gun

that's why im asking your trader levels

im trying to help you, if you dont want help then 🤷‍♂️

[sharp moth]

omfg nvm ur not listening

name me any gun there

[silk heart]

he is right tbf. its good to know what ammos you can buy

How do you deal with getting spotted first in woods

[normal echo]

keep your eyes on the usual rotation points

[spice cedar]

I literally am just running and then gets one shot from nowhere

[normal echo]

and camp spots

[normal echo]

well then think about where you are running

are there safer routes you can take

[spice cedar]

I guess so

[azure summit]

this game is a job

[limpid sigil]

only if you:
lack mechanical skill
lack object permanence
fall short in fps games
lack rational decision making

otherwise as long as you have 2 of those, games easy

[azure summit]

i just got the game, it has a steep learning curve to it. The movement, map knowledge etc

[limpid sigil]

yeah its going to be, no insult whatsoever. its just the chemistry is all

[azure summit]

none taken

[spice cedar]

Why does the game lower your sens when you sprint

Doesn’t explain anything

Like it’s not even realistic

Way easier than dragging my mouse two miles across the mouse pad

[keen wasp]

whats like the cheapest least cons suppressor i can put on an mdr?

[spice cedar]

Also if this game is meant to be realistic then why is literally every good player flash with a phd in kinematics

[keen wasp]

its not your sens you just have a limit to how fast you can turn when running lol

turn time stat based on gear and weight

[spice cedar]

I see

[silk heart]

mini monster for 556

[keen wasp]

tysm

should i run 20 round mags or 30 round mags with the mdr

[normal echo]

no

[silk heart]

30s

[normal echo]

i think mini monster is more expensive because of the fact it's the best ergo 556 supp

[normal echo]

i think an NT-4 should be the cheapest

qdc muzzle

dont worry about stats on the mdr

it's almost impossible to make it bad

it has very competent base stats

[keen wasp]

literally the same price as mini monster

together with their adapters

[normal echo]

maybe they changed the prices idk, the mini monstr used to be around 50k

if they are the same price then yeah i'd run the monster

[keen wasp]

whar

[wicked fable]

I need some assistance, i purchased the game in 2020-10-03, and my account no longer has priviledge for it. I would like to figure out if i need to contact support or if i can put my order number somewhere thanks

[normal echo]

but they are similar

[keen wasp]

i bought mine for 26k

what 5.56x45 would be good for the mdr?

i have alot of the funny m995 m855a1 and such rounds

[normal echo]

well those are good

the higher pen the better

[keen wasp]

m855a1 should be sufficent tho right

cause i have 6 stacks of that

[silk heart]

def. 5a1 is probably better imo then the AP rounds

because the AP rounds do like 3 dmg

[normal echo]

all are 1 hit headshot though

[silk heart]

yeah def

[keen wasp]

hows this build for the mdr

[normal echo]

i'd run a better sight

try a eotech 553 or the tan exps

[keen wasp]

well there was one but it costed a shitton so i took it off lol

[normal echo]

oh, yeah this monster is the same price

we were talking about the mini monster

it looks shorter than the one you have on

[keen wasp]

oh

so is the mini monster just shorter so more ergo and that raises the price by 60%

[normal echo]

yeah

[keen wasp]

so hows this now?

1 mag in gun 2 in rig loaded with m855a1

now i just have to get some kind of armour/rig and meds and i suppose im ready to waste an mdr on reserve

what rig should i run from what ive got,
a18 skanda
Osprey
mmac
banshee
sp pc v2
avs

[limpid sigil]

personal opinion, go shoot it in your hideout or an offline

[keen wasp]

yea i shoot every gun i have in my hideout before a raid

[limpid sigil]

if you think it feels like you can control it, run it. if you think the ergo is low, or the recoil is high, change some parts

[keen wasp]

just to know how it acts after i pull the trigger

[limpid sigil]

yeah doing some mozambiques can go a long way

i will always tell people to just spend some time shooting

[keen wasp]

yea the ergo is fine recoil is very nice and controllable

[undone drum]

??support

[red thistle]

[e-mail]

[normal echo]

good

[normal echo]

whichever you want

they are all similar

[keen wasp]

if all are similiar the mmac ig

its the cheapest and all otehr are fucking expensive + give alot of space which i need in my stash

[drifting leaf]

This is my first ever wipe new to the game can anyone help me with my quest i am hard stuck.

[spice cedar]

My scav had the rbbk key on him

[undone drum]

what are you struggling with?

[drifting leaf]

getting my quest done poor map knowledge and i keep getting killed

[spice cedar]

Do you have a map to look at

Do you know where your quest locations are

[drifting leaf]

yes i have that but im still new to the game

[spice cedar]

I guess you just gotta grind and learn

There’s no easy way around it

Avoid open areas and just be careful

Also don’t kill scavs as a scav

[drifting leaf]

thats why im looking for someone to help that knows more about the game then i do

[spice cedar]

I mean we can duo if you want

I’m also pretty new

Just not brand new

[undone drum]

what map, what quest?

[drifting leaf]

need kills on customs at the gas stations and where i plant the cameras

and locate stores in the mall

[undone drum]

i can help with advise

• how to navigate better
• how to not getting killed while questing

[undone drum]

also did you fill a sherpa ticket on #sherpa-info ?

[spice cedar]

Yeah how do you not get killed while questing

I was literally sprinting in some woods and got one shot

By a lv 60

[drifting leaf]

no i didnt know i had to fill out a ticket

[undone drum]

now you know. there is a channel called "sherpa info"
scroll up, pick your region and a ticket menu pops up

[undone drum]

• take unpredictable paths, that avoids hot zones

an example:

blue line avoids chokepoints and hotzones

[normal echo]

i would cut through the mountain

[spice cedar]

ok

[normal echo]

usually no one there

[spice cedar]

I just wanna use my shatuns key in peace

[undone drum]

tried to use it later in raid?

[normal echo]

before you do - make sure the car is in

[spice cedar]

That’s true

Or north un is available

It’s really close by

[spice cedar]

So I just rat somewhere until 10 minutes left?

[undone drum]

yeh, thats one way

[magic nest]

does anyone have tips on getting sj9, i need it for my assessent 3 task that im getting soon, so im trying to have it by i get it to make the waiting shorter for next task

[normal echo]

labs black room

[magic nest]

ok, any tips on how to survive labs? im not the best at pvp, and i have very few labs raid since ive not needed to go there untill now.. im also watching a vid to see what they say but if you have any tricks it would be nice

[normal echo]

probably just wait it out, like every second player on labs is cheating

[magic nest]

but dont you tthink most ppl will take black fast?

[normal echo]

i watched a lot of streamers in the last month play labs, they didnt hit black a single time

it's just not good anymore for the money

so i dont think people take it nearly as often as they used to

[magic nest]

but sj9 spawn there often or? bc i dont really care for roubles atm tbh

[normal echo]

it's a good place for stims, there's like 10 stim spawns inside

you can get like 5 stims per raid inside

[magic nest]

nice, shoukd i invest in extra injector too then?

500k for one

[spice cedar]

Is this a good build

Given that I don’t wanna use the slanted grip and change the hand guard
