[glass atlas]

that’s so rough

[hidden seal]

the update in december seems to have made that

it was quite obvious on that day onwards, even in PVE (that I played back then)

[slate mountain]

hey guys, what is the best bolty for shooter born?

[light pagoda]

mxlr

[slate mountain]

and for optics?

[open grove]

Spectre is great for it, good combo of close to long range

[slate mountain]

aight thank you brother

[light pagoda]

agreed

[obtuse light]

funy question. Does suppresed dvl counts for shooter part 7?

i have feeling my last 2 kills didnt count even tho they were over 100 meters with it

[minor crescent]

is a tier V frontal plate with 20 uses useless?

i only had that left

i need to go easy gz

and how many hits can it take before its useless?

[fiery moat]

i hit this dude with 7.62x54R BS on his thorax FIVE TIMES. what is this?

five consecutive hits

he didnt heal

i saw his body armor he was wearing korund-vm

all shots were on thorax as i literally saw the bullet hitting and creating the effect right on his heart

tf is this

[woeful spruce]

Typical bullshit

[minor crescent]

yo i magdumped a guy

he did not even flinch

1 hit from him and it was over for me

[ruby siren]

what do i do for this quest its part of tour and i have no idea what to do

[unkempt egret]

Use any transit to labs, scout the managers office, server room and sewer extract and it'll complete?
https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Tour#Streets_of_Tarkov_to_The_Lab

[ruby siren]

i got this game like 2 days ago where the hell is any of that

[ruby siren]

i looked at it what is the easiest way to get a labs keycard?

[unkempt egret]

The link has maps, easiest transit is the flooded part of factory tunnels, side door to the sewer tunnel.
You need a labs acess card to get in, keep it in your secure container.
Managers is in the middle of the map on a suspended platform, sewer extract is in the tunnels and server room is on the bottom of the map.

[ruby siren]

also this one

[unkempt egret]

Somewhat rare, flea market is the easiest way untill you unlock it on traders but your scav can sometimes spawn with it. Filing cabinets and bosses can spawn with it but it's something that finds you rather than the other way around if you know what I mean.

Labs is filled with good loot but there's no real hurry to get that particular task done given how difficult the map is, the card is something to keep an eye out for while you do other tasks and get more comfortable with the game so that you're a bit better prepared before heading into labs.

[slender shadow]

what is good builds for running customs lvl2 traders

[tidal lagoon]

a stock aks74u with a sight on it

[slender shadow]

does ak74n work?

[tidal lagoon]

yes for sure

any sort of 545 ak i think is a good way to get a cheap rifle so u can somethign that can perform in most situations early game

[slender shadow]

yeah but im usually facing alot of lvl 40s on customs as a lvl 15 and i feel like i cant progress at all

[tidal lagoon]

yes this is inevitable starting late in the wipe especially when u are newer to the game

only way is to push through it try to complete quests to get up traders and get access to better gear and then ull also get better at pvp over time

[slender shadow]

yeah thats what im trying to do xD

you think its better to run in duos/trios or its better to just solo is there any effect on the maps? or its just on ground zero

[tidal lagoon]

running duo/trios will 100% make it easier would recommend it

wdym effect on the maps?

[abstract owl]

Is it normal that those 2 have different base HP ? For same weight and same everything

I mean one is slightly damaged but the white one has 20 base HP

[hidden seal]

much easier to play in Duo. Trios you need to start beign careful to not cause accidents

But to be honest.. to learn a map.. . nothing better than running some solo.. your brain fixates better

[torn rapids]

trios are easy

4s are easy if you split up

usually how i do 4s with my friends is two of us buddy up together

and we move in 2s

5s are hard cause someone needs to 3rd wheel

[manic sable]

im always the 3rd wheel 🥲

[hidden seal]

where do I buy friends? is there a barter?

[torn rapids]

no... but eventually they will all quit and you're stuck in lfg hell with the 10% chance you find someone you vibe with

[hidden seal]

dude most people that I found in lfg were... asses

[manic sable]

can confirm that

[torn rapids]

Yeah it's hard to find ppl who you like playing with

It happens occasionally

[hidden seal]

like one I asked.. what region you connecting from? I am gettign such a bad connection ... and he answered " Stop Opressing me" and blocked me

[manic sable]

WHAT LOL

[hidden seal]

I was.. ok.. someone never talked with a human in real life it seems

[manic sable]

the only people ive met on lfg were extremely racist

[weary sky]

🫃 thats such a shame

[hidden seal]

I found a guy that was pretty nice adn we played a lot of PVE.. but his girlfriend got near to givign birth and he stopped playing.. for reasonable reasons

[manic sable]

😭

[ivory trench]

is there any use for this or can isell?

[grim raven]

just because people are bad at game does not mean anything

[grim raven]

you have chance to reflect head eyes very low chace when equipped

[ivory trench]

thanks

[grim raven]

one was repaired

[ivory trench]

can i just sell this? feel like im too new to be going to these types of places

[grim raven]

def keep

[hidden seal]

assess as in behavior. i do not care for playng skill

[grim raven]

Yeah pal

whatever pal

[hidden seal]

you are not my pal, and given yourcreaction seems you are in the asses group

[grim raven]

word slop

pal

[open grove]

Cardinal is only slightly more expensive on flea, if right now that 150,000 will make a big difference (help you get a junk box for example) then sell it, especially if you have no intention on going to streets

[grim raven]

Yeah

just go on streets and open it

its very worth it

noone even is ever there

[ivory trench]

okay thanks, can you buy all keys through flea?

[ivory trench]

really?

[grim raven]

if ur level like 40

[grim raven]

Ye u can get away with waiting till close to end of raid if u need

but usually unlooted area

[ivory trench]

true, and if i use it once, can i sell it aftewareds?

[grim raven]

ye

[ivory trench]

okay cool

thanks guys

[grim raven]

np

[ivory trench]

are night raids less liikely to run into chads?

[woeful spruce]

Yes and no, youre less likely to run into anybody. But youre more likely that the person you do run into is gonna be a chad. In my experience

[ivory trench]

that makes sense

[abstract owl]

Yea I know, The multicam was repaired, the white one is fresh out Ref's shop

[short bay]

that was weird..

[soft ivy]

whats the max intellect level?

[ivory trench]

does this mean the extract is open?

[tiny orbit]

It mean someone turned power on

It can still be locked

Meaning Factory key is needed

[short bay]

any new players needing help in explanations on voice, let me know. I am in the mood for helping out atm.

[ivory trench]

can you tell me how to deal with someone just fucking camping in fortress till 10 mins left in the raid

fucking sat in corner the whole game juswt to do this stupid quest and theres still some rat sitting there

lost the best loadout ive ever had in this game

[short bay]

literally wait them out or if you are really paranoid smoke them out with nades.

If you are trying to do the plant the poster quest.

See if there are a lot of scavs there, if there are, probably no player, if no scavs, risky, but if you really want to focus on comeplting quests, best way is to hide somwhere near and go when its safe then use the flare extract.

If i need to do such a quest, i avoid everyone and everything

[ivory trench]

yeah makes sense

[short bay]

and of course listen to gunfire

people that are "good" players, usually run up there, loot kill and move on

[ivory trench]

this whole game is exhausting, i want to uninstall so fucking bad, i dont think ive gotten a single pmc kill in my last 50 something raids

[short bay]

pretty good chance that he was trying to do the same quest too (if he was at the same spot)

[short bay]

If you survive, you won. PMC kills are secondary unless quest related

[hidden seal]

fogo that quest for now and go have fun, do the quest later

[ivory trench]

but im also enjoing the game idk what to do

im trying to do the quest so i can do arena trial cause im thinking of buying it to improve in gun fights

[hidden seal]

but you do nto need to do quests NOW.. you can let that quest for later

[short bay]

safest way to do it is wait till you get documents case then you stuck it in your safe container and carry it inside, you die you dont lose poster

[short bay]

arena has very different movement and mentality, it wont really help you except "warm you up". Imho.

[tiny orbit]

Just so you know. Arena and EFT have different stats so you learn muschle memory for wrong stuff

[ivory trench]

but then how do i even practice? if im getting 1 shot in every gun fight, like theres no learning in how to shoot back

[tiny orbit]

Even bullet stats are different

[tiny orbit]

Die 100 times more

Learn from patterns

[hidden seal]

play practice mode, play scav and play with affordable kits on your PMC (then there is no real loss as affordable kits have a reasoanble chance of not all e looted)

[tiny orbit]

Playing practice raids dont teach him where enemy PMCs spawn and kill him

[hidden seal]

more or less if he memorize all the places where HE spawns he can learn some spawn stuff

not the timmign for sure

[short bay]

fight scavs, fight bosses on offline practice raids. To learn vs players, you can only practice real fights. If you can't reliably win a straight up gun fight, first practice setting up ambushes (NOT RATTING). If you know where the enemy will come from and wait. After some time you will memorize and EXPECT a fight

[tiny orbit]

Quantity training on PvP is the best way

[vital fog]

arena is very good for that.

[short bay]

i can give examples on GZ if you want stream a practice raid

shooting back is reflexes

if you are shooting back it means they shot you first which is already bad

[vital fog]

since i started playing arena i became 15x better than before

even during the 3d trial. it helped a lot

[short bay]

arena might teach you how to react to fights, but map knowledge will keep you alive for fights

[split flax]

I still can't find a bloody intelligence folder, I've been looking for days....I got 2 ledx's in the meantime.... I've checked BEAR camp, Tagilla's hideout, crackhouse multiple times and not found it

[short bay]

scav filing cabinets in reserve or interchange

[vital fog]

try woods train depot, i just found one earlier there

[split flax]

I'll try scavving filing cabinets, my scav just got pwned at tagilla's hideout

[short bay]

but not just anywhere, reserve and interchaneg have good chance, reserve especially

of the places that i found them the most

[ivory trench]

thanks for all the advice guys

unfortunately think this games learning curve is too steep, will keep trying it out, mostly just venting

[short bay]

pause it if its too much. This is not a "i just wanna go out and shoot game" it actually requires a lot of preknowledge and learning if you want to do well. And time spent. With no tutorial (no one should dare call that shitty introduction as a tutorial) it's very hard to learn even the basics on your own.

i constantly go on and off on playing it because it can get really annoyhing with some BS, especially cheaters.

[slate spade]

Labs pretty much has it guaranteed. The only thing us you need to find someone to be willing to let you take it. I met people in the lfg who were nice enough.

[ivory trench]

does streets of tarkov have any good loot?

[hidden seal]

has a lot of stuff

[safe grove]

prob the best map for open loot

[hidden seal]

by sheer number of spots

and beign near impossible to be cleaned up in a raid

[ivory trench]

see that it takes a lot of pmcs tho

is there a lot of gunfights here/

[hidden seal]

even though.. it is too mcuh stuff

it is legit hard to remember all places you might need to search

[safe grove]

like all maps depends on spawns/players' playstyles. Honestly kinda the same as other maps

most hectic time is map spawn due to proximity to others like usual

[short bay]

it has the most loot spawns and some of the best, but its a big unstable and weird map

but sometimes you can slowly loot your fill without encountering anyone. i personally really do not like the map

i find it much easier to go for maps focusing on very specific loot. Interchange for food/pcs/tech items. GZ for filing cabinets, tech, pcs, safes. Reserve for filing cabinets and tank bateries and so on

faster to scav too

[dire hawk]

whats the best way to get to grotto from the treatment plan without getting blown up by mines

[short bay]

literally cross the water on the small wooden bridge and just hug the water until you reach it (left side)

i assume you mean scav.

[crimson thicket]

I feel like I barely see pmcs on streets this wipe

[short bay]

from the treatment plant you go all the way to the trainyard the go across the street and hug water again

or you go back to bridge and go the route i metnioned first

[crimson thicket]

If you're at building 1 you can just walk across the street. No mines there

[undone drum]

There are no mines around grotto despite signs

not getting battery change from btr after i finished the prapor task before stick to the wheel or wtv

[flat osprey]

can shadow of tagilla go into the fire hazard room?

i am scared i forgot a fuckin flashlight

fuck me ok he can

damn

[dire hawk]

what building is building 1

[crimson thicket]

First building when you're coming from south road bridge. It has a giant 1 on it

2 is back by train depot. 3 is on the mountain side

[wooden gull]

building 1 near water 3 rocks 2 train

easy

lighthouse rework is needed

[ivory trench]

do scavs always do this?

[zinc marsh]

scavs will occasional flip you the bird yes 😆

[ivory trench]

what would be the best map for new players?

[safe sail]

anyone fancy doing some raids, just need to get some AUG scav kills

[safe sail]

I prefer customs or Inter

easiest to learn imo

[ivory trench]

customs i keep getting kilkled by 1500 hr+ people, i kid you not i have not died to someone below 1000 hours yet

[safe sail]

Or just do some scavs see what you've got a feeling for

[safe sail]

Trust me if you know this, I (solo) got pushed by a 3 man from stronghold when I was in crackhouse. Killed one with a one tap and they immediately zeroed in and swung me in the weirdest way

lvl 36 with like 20 odd k/d

vs me a lvl 10 with like a 1.2 k/d

[sharp plume]

probably ground zero since theres different queue based on level

[ruby siren]

any sherpas who can guide me and learn the game right now i need a labs keycard and need to transit there ill be on in like 1 hour and 30 minutes any available then? pve also

[ivory trench]

what are the main loot spawns in shoreline? village and that westwing/east wing place, is that it?

[midnight furnace]

Anyone have any high pen 762/51 to spare🙏🏽

[eager tide]

scav base is a lot of loot too

and when nobody took the car extract there is an extract very close

[flat osprey]

is this a solid build to fight shadow of tagilla?

keep on getting head-(blank)ed

[hidden seal]

you gonna risk a weapon malfunction (That is under 93%) agaisnt tagilla?

[latent prairie]

bro killa helmet cant stop 1 bp bullet ?

thats just fkng crazy

just ridiclous

[hidden seal]

well from this image .. seems they fired more than 1 bullet on you

[latent prairie]

he defohit me once max twice

saw him couldnt even ads and died

[hidden seal]

how could he hit you only twice and you have damage on ALL body parts and none black (if one were black you coudl have damage bleed intoother areas)

[latent prairie]

bro if you die they all take dmg wdym

[desert stratus]

If i wanted a chance at cofdm from scav case, do i run the intel folders or moonshines?

[hidden seal]

aa you DID die ok

[latent prairie]

he only hit my head are you dumbb ?

[hidden seal]

no, but I am clearly more polite than you.. Maybe I shoudl have a talk with your mom

[latent prairie]

hahahha i hit a nerve i think

[hidden seal]

it is not a nerve that I hit in your mom

[latent prairie]

bro just ragebaited himself 🤣

bro said the guy hit my other body parts cuz they took dmg bros defo a mongol 🤣

[hidden seal]

If you think this is rage, you are even more immature

Youa re waht? 13 or 14?

[latent prairie]

talkin about ppls moms and calling yourself mature is crazy btw

are you schizo by any chance ?

[hidden seal]

oo sorry I did not realzie your profile picture was a real one

[latent prairie]

bros on drugs

[hidden seal]

you are the one that coudl not answer somethign without an aggression. That is peak immaturity

[latent prairie]

agression ? i asked you if you were dumb

i dont see any agression in that sentence ngl

[placid quest]

average tarkov discussion

[unkempt egret]

Where can I find the experimental signal jammer to open the armoured case?

[placid quest]

Res unit is where I found mine

[short bay]

depends on what you want to loot, gas station and pier have safes and filing cabinets for example

[flat osprey]

oh shiit youre right. thank you!!

had an extra build of the same thing, just better durability lmfao

[hidden seal]

it can work.. but if there is someone I do not want to have a weapon malfunction is him while he approaches with a hammer

[flat osprey]

what i was more asking, was is that a valid setup? would you bring in a 762x51 gun to fight him?

[flat osprey]

its the axe but yea i get u. not fun

[hidden seal]

I never went into labrys.. my observation was just theorethical with the info you gave me (the weapon durability)

[flat osprey]

yea its hell. ive died 2x to tagilla, head-eyes, and 1 time due to pure stupidity

[ivory trench]

literaly just had someone pretend to be friendly to me, and then use me to get to co-op extract and then gunned me down right when the extract timer turned 0

[undone drum]

make sure at all times keep moving, be a hard target

to hit

even when extracting

[ivory trench]

dont think that would have mattered he was right next to me, dude some people in this game are really something else and then some others are very nice, that was actually disgusting

what is this symbopl i keep getting

[short bay]

the game i would say in the majority has disgustingly trashy people that you meet in game

LFGs are also hit and miss

but at least LFGs you can leave

if i would compare it to Hunt Showdown which i play lots, i could count on both hands how much time i got betrayed in +2k hours, but in Tarkov it would be on one hand how much times i was NOT betrayed

[ivory trench]

yeah like i wasnt even pissed, i was genuinely disgusted, like inherently, the contnext surrounding the hwole thing to, wish i was recording it, what a terrible playerbase at times

[short bay]

some people simply consider it normal to be complete assholes, funny even. It's a fucked up world we live in.

Now some people will say it's just a game (the usual bullshit). I say if you act like that in a game, you are no better irl

[short bay]

Bro that looks 100% ridicolous. EFT experience with tons of lololol? I am a bad man, couldnt help myself 😄

what bullshit from a bullshitter 😄

he would do it all over again and will do it to others all the time

[ivory trench]

yeah i figured i just ignored

[full rain]

anyone able to help me with a couple of quests on customs, ''Golden Swag'' ''Operation Aquarius - Part 1'' (I need to find key for water room)

[slender shadow]

what region are you?

[full rain]

eu but dont worry ATM im giving it a go again solo, i feel this is the run where everyone avoids apartments

[slender shadow]

goodluck i had to do it a few times to get it done🥲

[shadow fog]

i feel for you, man

[slender shadow]

I can help you tomorrow gonna head to sleep

[shadow fog]

honestly i've been trying to solo grind most of the quests and so far it's been fun despite me dying so many times LOL

ngl tho

[full rain]

definately fun, also definately anxiety inducing nightmare

[shadow fog]

i swear i've had more jump scares in tarkov than in a horror game

[slender shadow]

😂😂

[shadow fog]

i've been practicing ground zero for a bit now and so far, it really has been fun but some of the extracts, dude

the camping is insane and it's so funny to me

have any of you ever had any chance of finding a GPU there?

[small bluff]

On ground zero? It’s quite ‘common’ to find in PCs on that map

[wind hazel]

I’ve been doing the solo grind too, it’s tough

[thin valley]

me and my duo need help PVP newer to the game

[undone drum]

help with what?

[thin valley]

i just got pvp just need help getting the start up and quests ive only been on pve for around a month

[rare nova]

anyone new need or want some help ? pve only.

[wind hazel]

The experience from pve only doesn’t carry over right.?

[fathom ore]

it does not

[floral spear]

how do i get more of these

i got one from my weekly

[midnight ingot]

idk it doesnt show how to get them on the wiki so they might not be sold by traders

flea market might have listings perhaps?

[torn rapids]

right click "required search"

[slender umbra]

how many notes do i need to get from the kozlov apartment?

I found 3 but the mission seems to be stuck, asking me to read them?

[torn rapids]

go to your handbook

and read them

[slender umbra]

i read them already

[lyric crescent]

Does the tour quest ever end? Ive gotten to the part with the port terminal and it seems like its never gonna end

[sharp plume]

it ends

[lyric crescent]

How many steps do i have to go through though cause Ive done i think 10 now

[sharp plume]

What part are you on

[midnight ingot]

it ends once you unlock all the maps, probably the last thing you'll do is transiting to labs and scouting a few areas inside and it'll be complete

[lyric crescent]

ight

[lyric crescent]

about to talk to vendors after going to port terminal

[sharp plume]

only thing left is unlocking the 3 maps then

[lyric crescent]

ight

[flat osprey]

is it possible to mark the city center btr mark on streets without gettin fucked by kaban/ the gl

[placid quest]

buddy tour is one of the shorter quest lines lol. The longest is Batya I think. If you think that was long, get ready...

[flat osprey]

nah whats the one where there is a part 8? punisher?

tarkov shooter maybe

unless ur talking strictly story

[placid quest]

talking about story not side. the longest side task is gunsmith

[flat osprey]

ah shit yea duh forgot bout that one

the last one requiring a chance PKP off kaban is dumb

[placid quest]

if you complete the story line you get rewards. I got savior and was given 2 or 3 PKPs and completed it that way

[flat osprey]

WHAT

bruh

i just died to kaban / pmcs like 8 times and got it eventually

[placid quest]

yeah the story rewards give you like 4 kitted TKPDs, 3 PKPs, Rotary GLs, ass load of ammo etc

[lyric crescent]

I kinda just thought it would be one long questline with more side quests till eventually i can escape from tarkov i didnt realise there were more main storys

[placid quest]

There's like 7 total story lines all linked to "The Ticket" story line.

[lyric crescent]

Huh

[placid quest]

You have to complete all of them before finishing The Ticket

[lyric crescent]

Is there any alternative to paying therapist 45,000 everytime i die or using the limited medkits i have?

[warped anchor]

Grizzly bags

Or surviving

[lyric crescent]

whats that?

[lyric crescent]

Ah okay

[flat osprey]

im getting close to max lvl strength, what is the max weight allowed (with armor) that still counts as underweight once im max lvl?

ik the "worn" items dont count towards weight, but like would it be 60kg on top of that?

[snow marsh]

for the life of me I can’t find labs access cards Before I just cheesed it with flea market but that’s not an option rn,
What are some higher chance ways of finding them?

[brisk wharf]

is your intelligence center lvl 2?

[snow marsh]

No my hideout is barely started yet, but thanks then I know some goals to reach

[brisk wharf]

Ah well drawers, player scavs, normal scavs, and bosses mostly have them though drawers rarely this wipe

[snow marsh]

Okay thanks

[jagged thicket]

anyone avaliable to help me with gun smith 2

[brisk wharf]

whats the issue

[jagged thicket]

i cant seem to find an ak 12 pistol grip

on the flea or a trader and fence and proper have none

[brisk wharf]

should be on Prapor LL2 or flea

[jagged thicket]

he is only lvl 1 :/

[brisk wharf]

you dont have flea too then I assume

[jagged thicket]

no i do

im lvl 25

[brisk wharf]

how come prapor is not level 2 🤔

you did quests or sold/bought stuff?

[jagged thicket]

i made him mad when i took the grenade case as a reward and i dont do quests i just smash out factories and customs a lot 😓

i have 100 hours but im a noob still

[brisk wharf]

you should get a quest that restores his reputation

handing over grenades

called No Offence

you can buy grenades from flea and hand it over

[brisk wharf]

yea buy them from flea and you should be able to turn it in

[jagged thicket]

hmm ok lemme try

[brisk wharf]

but I guess u would be 1 quest away from prapor level 2 since u will be at 0,17 and he requires 0,20 for level 2 😅

[jagged thicket]

i did it ti worked

ok lemme try to get the grip now

[brisk wharf]

hes still level 1 i think you are missing like 0,03

[jagged thicket]

[placid quest]

fix da blaster

[vocal mist]

nah, that's not necessart

[vocal mist]

.

[brisk wharf]

i found his issue

he is 0.5 missing ergo

probably due to ammo in chamber i think

[jagged thicket]

😭 this is why i just play factory game is silly with this bs

level 25 on lvl 5 quests

[jagged thicket]

took it out still nothing and the mag is empty

[brisk wharf]

did u fold the gun

[jagged thicket]

yes

[placid quest]

try an RK-3 pistol grip maybe

[jagged thicket]

has to be an ak 12 it says

i think anyway

[placid quest]

no it dont

[jagged thicket]

ok lemme see

wtf the gold check mark went away o_o

[brisk wharf]

well then you should be able to hand in over cuz everything fits

[jagged thicket]

that grip worked

thanks dude

[placid quest]

yw

[brisk wharf]

thats weird

[jagged thicket]

legends

[brisk wharf]

the recoil and ergo checks even with the first grip he had

[placid quest]

wiki is stupid sometimes

[brisk wharf]

not related to wiki

[jagged thicket]

ya i agree

[brisk wharf]

this is with the first grip

[vocal mist]

?

[placid quest]

he posted a ss of the wiki

[brisk wharf]

quest says 58 ergo and recoil less than 550

[placid quest]

and it showed the ak12 grip

[brisk wharf]

this is the stats with ak12 grip

it fits the requirement

at least 58 ergo and recoil less than 550

[placid quest]

idek. ive plenty issues with the wiki being wrong before but figured it out on my own

[brisk wharf]

?? has nothing to do with wiki its in game

[brisk wharf]

at least u can buy the keys

[placid quest]

whether its a game issue or not when I used the wiki a few times it was either a) not caught up or b) the game was bugged

[jagged thicket]

either way you guys are life savers ty

[stiff plover]

how do i claim the arena free trial?>

[vocal mist]

It gets claimed automatically once you complete the quest that grants it

[sweet raven]

Hey everyone, I need some help with what seems like a stuck situation. I'm doing the "Batya" questline in PvE. At the end, I’m supposed to pick up a note from Lightkeeper. Before that, I killed the boss on the Lighthouse island. After doing that, my Secure Transmitter got decoded, so I can’t enter the Lighthouse again. I need that note. The issue is that to re-encode it in the Workbench, I need the V3 flash drive, which I used up in a previous quest to get the transmitter. But that quest is done, and I can’t find another V3 flash drive. Is this a bug, or am I missing something? What do I do?

[kindred grotto]

do the mechanic task to regain the trust

[unique mantle]

do the Make amends questline from mechanic

[toxic aspen]

can someone help me with prapor tasks

[light pagoda]

#pve-lfg #pvp-lfg

[short bay]

in what way and which tasks?

[minor crescent]

just found this on a pmc i killed

i accidentaly hit his leg while aiming for his face with a ak74u and he died to a leg hit

idk how

i want to know where to get visors tho

[weary sky]

visors are kinda useless

[minor crescent]

arent they bulletproof?

[weary sky]

no? they may stop them but imo they dont do it enough for it to be worth

especially since your breathing is mad loud and your vision is fucked

wear something like a cqcm or death shadow instead

[minor crescent]

oh ok

oh here is why no one uses it

[small bluff]

good luck

did you make it out? hehe

[bold kernel]

with light keeper can u only be his whole island for 10 mins or just his room where he is

[eager tide]

I dont know about his room, but you can be on the island as long as you want

[bold kernel]

okay thanks

[slender shadow]

whats worth more doing Kind of Sabotage or Supply Plans

[small bluff]

supply plans imo

[small bluff]

because, the quests where you have to gain rep back are ridiculous for therpaist

sorry my english typing is awful today

With skier you just pay him 1m and with prapor you get 10 grenades that you can barter from peacekeeper or buy from flea

[slender shadow]

thank you

[brittle jolt]

any suggestions to help get SBIH done on these maps?

[small bluff]

on shoreline camp the resort area, otherwise not sure, sorry!

well when I say camp I mean go there

[brittle jolt]

the 1 in the northeast of the map?

[small bluff]

The big main attraction of the map

[light pagoda]

yes, there are pmcs there. or weather station

[brittle jolt]

no one likes resort xD

its where boss and guards are

[small bluff]

guarantee you will see at least 3 PMC's each raid there

at leastttttttt

all the big boys love resort mate

LMAO I just saw you get timed out

[brittle jolt]

all i said was UGH fine but im going as night with NVGs

[small bluff]

Might be harder to see them tbh, I'd try a daytime raid first and get a feel for it

[brittle jolt]

but it had a lot of i and Us

[small bluff]

you don't even need to go in, just around the back area where the extracts are

or go on the roof only.

[small bluff]

Pog

go for it, good luck.

[brittle jolt]

i just dont want to run into cultists

[small bluff]

stay outside and you'll be ok I think

[eternal shoal]

can the extortionist quest on customs be done as scav? or can i only grab the key as a scav and not the document

[small bluff]

only key

[eternal shoal]

copy that thank you

[small bluff]

🫡

[eternal shoal]

is the game going to open up a bit for me once i unlock flea? all my kits feel like ass rn lol

[frank junco]

i feel like pmcs are harder than cultists, you got it

[brittle jolt]

custists worry me i dotn fight them... ever

i was under the assumption they were as geared and good as raiders with tagilla mechanics to stab you

[frank junco]

the way they agro is so strange it works in your favor sometimes tho. like theyll let you walk up and kill a few sometimes without getting agressive

[brittle jolt]

so like santa lol

[frank junco]

ya same dumb ai as the rest lol, deff not as scary as tagilla

but tagilla screams and has a hammer so there is that lol

[brittle jolt]

tagilla is scarier than goons

[frank junco]

clip from like yesterday, tagillas dumb sometimes too lol

[brittle jolt]

1 boss with t6 face and chest armor... insane.. running at you with a shotgun and very accurate or a 1shot hammer

Orrr

3 bosses with no head armor

Ill fight goons over tagilla any day

[frank junco]

bro thats insane goons are easy sometimes but they gotta be the most unpredictable

i dont like those guys lol

or more i dont like the maps they are on lol

[brittle jolt]

Was that on scav?

[frank junco]

ye

and an ai scav got him in the back of the head

[small bluff]

Yeeees

utilise barters as well for scopes and such

[brittle jolt]

at lvl 15 the flea opens but no it wont really open up until 30ish

thats when you can buy most of the things you need

[hidden seal]

well at least you can buy bolts and wires for those damn upgrades that need 14 of each

[stable peak]

Where have all the e drills gone?! I have been doing scav and pmc raids on interchange and shoreline for the past 2 weeks and found 1....died on the way out >.<

[proud kindle]

does anyone know if i can somehow trade\craft small wd-40 from the big one?

[torn rapids]

you can

[humble cave]

All wiki Gunsmith builds work perfectly fine. All issues were on you.

[brittle jolt]

finally

[jolly cobalt]

im about to get tarkov is there like any tips i should know?

[fiery moat]

yall how do i actually get access to some good AR ammo? i dont wanna rely on finding them on loot as it literally relies on the chance of them spawning and me finding them and extracting, is 5.45 PS, 7.62 PS and 5.56 SOST good enough? i think they are the best i can either craft or buy

[swift oyster]

whats up guys ive been trying to get theta through ref and the arena quest line i have Balancing Pt1 done and Greater Heights 1-5 done but for some reason Against the Conscience isnt popping up am i missing something ?

[woeful prawn]

if you havent done balancing part 2 you need to do it

[toxic notch]

everything you need to know is on the wiki

[woeful prawn]

also theres a couple quests after including surprise and distraction pt1
distraction pt2 and provide viewership arent necessary

[swift oyster]

yeah i knew about these

[swift oyster]

and i thought this was not needed after balancing pt 1 is done then i got greater heights 1-5 and then on to Against the conscience was my understanding and balancing pt 2 was doing theta quest in tarkov not arena

[bold relic]

ehm, my task on, To great heights part 5 is bugged, it shows completed in arena but when i go to eft is doesnt show completed. Any possible fix?

[woeful prawn]

you have to do it again for it to un bug

[bold relic]

are you serious

[woeful prawn]

no

[bold relic]

....

[woeful prawn]

in my instance i had to do it more than once again but i think it was partly due to disconnection and stuff

[bold relic]

well thanks for the help, ig im gonna do it again i hate my life

[woeful prawn]

[ivory trench]

did you not like arena?

[bold relic]

?

[ivory trench]

im asking if you enjoyed it

[bold relic]

yeaqh i did enjoy it but i dont like when the task bug itself :/

[ivory trench]

ah okay, i ask cause im thinking of buying it to iumprove the ganme

[undone drum]

do you like game similar to arena? like cs

[bold relic]

:/

[ivory trench]

yeahh i dont mind it, ive heard people absolutely hate it tho, but i just need to get it to learn how gun fiughts work in this game cause i lose every one of them and dont know what im doing wrong

[undone drum]

can you record and post here?

[ivory trench]

like clips? yeah maybe next time i stream, can grab some clips there

[undone drum]

yes

[ivory trench]

think i just need someone to watch how im playing and tell me if im doing something improper \

[iron perch]

??codes

?codes

Bot broke or codes just no more codes?

[arctic linden]

does anyone have the main quest tree showing what to do to get what ending?

[sharp plume]

i think verybadscav has a video for that

[red rose]

if you open the quest "the ticket" and scroll down a bit you can see it https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/The_Ticket

[arctic linden]

thank you

[placid quest]

wasnt speaking solely on gunsmith tasks. Just in general over the years ive played ive had a few minor issues.

[arctic linden]

ok so after i got the armored case if i want to KEEP it do call prapor or just continiue with the storyline? to finish the falling skies

[humble cave]

Calling other people's work "stupid" while i can tell you it's actually you being wrong in at least 95% of cases is the type of people we need in the community ❤️

[vocal mist]

You cannot complete Falling Skies without talking to Prapor about the case. You will get a big popup during the dialogue where you'll have the choice to either give it to him, or keep it. Make sure to careful read what it says, sometimes the wording is a bit unclear at the first glance

[crimson thicket]

When you tell him you're keeping it you might want to turn your volume down if you've got it cranked lol. It makes him very angy

[arctic linden]

too late LOL

[oak citrus]

anyone wanna help me out getting started? iam level 5, looking to do abit of pvp and quests.
i have basic understading of the game just havent played for years

[hushed laurel]

i am new. Ill do anything.

[placid quest]

brother im not calling the wiki stupid. Please understand that nothing is in a monolith. Nothing will always work or be correct 100% of the time and I would hope you know that too especially with a game that is known to have confusing code and silly bugs. Ive played this game for basically all 10 years its been available to the public and ive had a few instances where not everything always lined up, was correct, or worked 100% of the time. Everyone obviously appreciates and uses the wiki. Its not a sin to say that things dont always work or line up.

[vocal mist]

or to have it quoted in color

[placid quest]

"sometimes"

and obviously in this instance I was wrong with his gunsmith issue but I was able to help him fix it. I assumed from the ss he posted the build parts were from wiki

[astral glen]

All wiki gunsmith builds are correct

[placid quest]

ok then why wasnt his gun build working until after I recommended to swap to the rk3

obviously it was either a problem with the wiki or game

[astral glen]

He was using the wrong dust cover

[maiden marlin]

does muwahi have some thing where if wiki is mentioned 3 times they appear

[astral glen]

He has a search bar

[placid quest]

bam alright then it doesnt apply in the instance. sorry such a general statement is so antagonistic. I was wrong in this

[hidden seal]

did you got to the point in EFT wher eyou get an arena trial?

might be better if you judge by yourself and playing

[ivory trench]

Not yet, I accidentally deleted all of my posters, and tried doing it after buying the poster twice and died both times to someone camping in fortress

And I don’t have enough money to keep buying 80k posters lol

[hidden seal]

put poster in your secure container

[ivory trench]

I can’t do that with the alpha container

I tried already

[hidden seal]

aaa you might need the document case

[ivory trench]

Apparently I need a different type of container that allows documents or something. The poster fits but think the type of container doesn’t allow it

[vocal mist]

Yeah you can't put posters straight in your secure, it can only be circumvented by having something like a Documents case that you put it inside of

[hidden seal]

that is a bit sad

also so funny that a poster uses so much space

[wary timber]

Cheaper to buy from flea but unsure what level needed

[ivory trench]

I’ve heard yeah, I’m level 12 unfortunately lol

[hidden seal]

might be better to focus on levelign up "organically" and do that quest later when you can afford to

[ivory trench]

Yup agreed

[fiery moat]

you may also delay the quest until you can get a docs case rather than being just lvl15 if you want to, so u dont lose it when u die. alternatively u can just wait in a corner for a very long time until everyone actually leaves the map then do the quest, thats sometimes my way of doing dangerous quests that makes me go into high traffic areas

[ivory trench]

Yeah the last time I tried, literally waited till 8 mins and there was still a PMC in there, which really sucked. But everytime I spawn in as a scav there’s never anyone there around the 15 min mark.

Where can I get a docs case tho?

[fiery moat]

therapist barter, also twitch drops if they return, i assume not for a long time though(i got 2 docs cases from drops and bought 3rd one after lvl25) but if you find a lion and a cat figurine, the 4 horse figurines are rather easy to obtain

oh and cultist circle may drop those items for you, cultist circle is really really useful not bc of profiting purposes but bc it can sometimes really give you items that you need and couldnt obtain in any other way

got all my tank batteries from there, also got a few ammo cases although i could easily purchase them anyways, it can probably give docs case or the figurines to you

[agile ice]

whats the difference between the healing syringes

[fiery moat]

also guys, are pso scopes kinda good with the ak's? they seem fitting actually, i normally just dont use 7.62x39 weapons but ak-104 with pso scope kinda seems viable the more i use it

[fiery moat]

what exactly u mean, which ones to compare

[agile ice]

idk there are too many to keep track which is which, i mostly carry etg and propitol but idk the difference or if there is a better option

all from drops ofc

got over a med crate of them idk what they do

[fiery moat]

the syringes are just pretty self explanatory, just read their descriptions

idk if i remember correctly but the etg is supposed to be the more expensive and faster healing one, propital heals a total of 300hp i think but is very slow(i think 1 hp per second so takes 300 seconds=5 minutes for the effect)

[agile ice]

i see, i rarely use them but i keep a case of them in my gamma anyway with random ones that looked like a good idea to have

[fiery moat]

fair enough, i just dont keep them as i just never see myself in a situation where i would say "i'd die if i didnt have a stim here" but zagustin,propital and morphine seem to be the ones i'd use

[agile ice]

i usually keep like 3 etgs 2 morphine 2 adrenaline an odolbos and the rest are just random

i tend to use the adrenaline and morphine whenever the raid is almost over and i gotta book it to extract through the scavs

idk if it helps or not

but it seems like the morphine at least does

[fiery moat]

do you keep the obdolbos just in case ur feeling suicidal?

[gritty escarp]

hello, I have got about 3 hours ingame so far and am wondering, is it better to just run with a knife to complete the "survive x map" to unlock all the maps or would it be better to run with gear to do this?

[agile ice]

never even looked at it i just threw it in the injector case

[fiery moat]

your objective is to survive, why would you try not to survive?

[gritty escarp]

valid point

[agile ice]

i was told i needed 1 of every syringe for a quest later on so i only grabbed what i had multiples of

[fiery moat]

also you get "tagged and cursed" (the actual name of the mechanic in game btw) if you dont have a gun, armor etc. (every scav on the map knows where you are and knows you are vulnerable so they hard push you like a cheater with wallhack would)

[fiery moat]

yea ur lucky that u didnt use it

[gritty escarp]

I did manage to snowball into a T4 kit from just the m4 but I realised I can speedrun through the maps and just get a run through to get the quest done quicker, idk if I should do that or just play the raid out normally instead

[fiery moat]

obdolbos has a 25% chance of instantly killing you upon usage

[agile ice]

wtf why would people use that then

[gritty escarp]

bruh 😭

[gritty escarp]

I'm a gambling man I'd take those odds

[fiery moat]

i recommend going normally, not just the best gear but average run

[agile ice]

personaslly if im blitzing a quest ill grab cheap armor a csa rig and a glock with 1 extra mag

[fiery moat]

75% chance of becoming superman and 25% chance of becoming dead. obdolbos mk2(developed by sanitar) is far weaker in effects and it doesnt kill you but doesnt buff you that much either

[gritty escarp]

alr, I got 2 more questions, this dudes kit is prolly worth about 400k ish so should I sell it all and get closer to scav box or try to use it

and the other is should I sell my starter GPU and LEDX

[fiery moat]

hard no

[fiery moat]

depends on how much u got

[gritty escarp]

okay okay

[agile ice]

what level are you?

[gritty escarp]

I have about 550k rn

so I'd be like 100-200k off

[gritty escarp]

4

😭

[fiery moat]

i missed the tutorial ledx and gpu cuz i played instantly after game released on steam, but i was so happy each time i found a ledx and a gpu( 1 ledx 2 gpu total) even tho i have 40m, those 2 items are so valuable and will be useful later on

and scav junk box is not a priority early on, grind and sell the items until you get your first few millions, then buy one and start grinding for ur hideout

[gritty escarp]

wait could I have gotten an extra GPU and ledx? I just saw them in my stash after doing the tutorial

[fiery moat]

those are the tutorial ones

[gritty escarp]

gotcha

[agile ice]

play scav and just sell all when you exfil every time you can

[gritty escarp]

okay that's fair enough, my main struggle rn is just not dying and finishing tasks

[gritty escarp]

will do, what map's best for scav?

[fiery moat]

in the first days of game release devs just hid those items as easter eggs, those like me who played instantly missed out ofc, and also the game would just let you keep what you looted in tutorial instead of giving all the loot to you no matter what you grabbed

[fiery moat]

i recommend spamming ground zero as a beginner but it has probably the worst loot as a map

[agile ice]

personally i like customs but others would say interchange

[gritty escarp]

damn at least they added it to everyone's stash later on haha

[fiery moat]

well,not mine and all those ppl who finished tutorial in the first days of the game

[gritty escarp]

yeah I went on interchange for my first raid and got a lot of stuff, went over to ground zero and was finding barely anything valuable aha

[agile ice]

i noticed ground zero needs a key room to be worth going to for loot

[gritty escarp]

okay, I'll prolly do interchange because I died 4 times on customs trying to just survive it

[fiery moat]

i still recommend ground zero, its easy to learn and if u keep playing it you will have to learn only the other basics and wont have to worry about getting lost

[gritty escarp]

I do have a key to a room for that map but I think it's just the room for a quest later on

[glass atlas]

lowkey ground zero can be super safe and good early game. hit all the crates, duffles, and toolboxes in the car park in the basement and you can usually leave full of stuff you need for hideout or profitable tool items. I ran it a few times and it was pretty decent.

[agile ice]

im not a fan of interchange just because of how easy it is to camp the exfils

[fiery moat]

which key? do u mean undeground parking key or the scientist key which spawns everytime, there are absolutely no valuable keys in ground zero

[gritty escarp]

fairs, I'll be playing ground zero pretty soon to do the first quest for skier and to get some stuff done for the main quest

[fathom ore]

thats why i like the new green flair extract most people done left that camp by the time im done looting in the mall

[agile ice]

scientist, multiple computers filing cabnits and right outside is the v-ex

[glass atlas]

dont click sell all by the way 😭 fence gives you the worst price for everything and you also don't progress your money spent needed on other, more important traders.

[fiery moat]

you'll have to play ground zero for a few quests from prapor too, also ref and mechanic has one quest each there

[agile ice]

hes level 4 whos he gonna sell to? rag man?

[gritty escarp]

okay sounds like I'll be on it a lot then at the start

[glass atlas]

he can just keep the stuff, the traders are only like a few survivals away, he'd be way better off keeping some stuff. Imagine he found the nuts and bolts he needed for workbench one, but sold them to fence.

[fiery moat]

yes, take even the knife into the stash to sell to jaeger. fence only gives fair prices if you are selling some info items like flash drives that cannot be sold to anyone other than peacekeeper and fence(they pay roughly the same) OR if you are selling a worthless gun under 60 durability that no other trader buys(strip all the attachments and sell to others, sell only the lower receiver to fence as no one else buys it

whats ur scav rep

if its low enough ai scavs shoot you on sight i think

[gritty escarp]

now I need to go check what I need for the first workbench LMFAO thanks

[glass atlas]

exactly right, even peacekeeper is still good since he gives you dollars which you need to hand it for tour at some point if you want lighthouse/escape

[fiery moat]

if its high enough they even listen your commands and obey

[tidal lagoon]

some people do it for the love of the game

[flat osprey]

does a helmet count as armor for "setting priorities"?

[glass atlas]

no worries, i also think ur asking for maps to scav, my eprsonal favourite is shoreline, but i avoid resort like the plague. My scav survival on shoreline is like 95% and i get about 400k to more than a mil depdning on what i find and the size of my bag.

[tardy girder]

Hello, Looking for help to quest and reach level 15. Anyone down to help?

[fiery moat]

so extraordinaly weird player scavs, rip. the ones i meet never shoot me, we just shake heads q e and give each other random items from our bags everytime

[glass atlas]

luckier than me, but i think it also depends on map. @sinful iron what maps do you scav?

[agile ice]

where are you going? i never find anything of worth there except easy pmc kills

[fiery moat]

one of them gave me afak after he saw me fighting a pmc and winning barely, then he also dropped jar of pickles, i dropped the pmc's full kit gun in return

[tidal lagoon]

id assume no, but honestly dont bother with a helmet when ure not wearing body armor to begin with

[gritty escarp]

dayum, when I unlock it I'll definitely try it out, so far I've done 0 scav runs just been trying to do tour to unlock maps etc

[flat osprey]

on pve so having it on will help me not get headeyes by some dumb scav

[glass atlas]

The village near tunnel and the 2 safes near cottages. If I spawn no where near there i loot the expansion north east. The village has so many jackets, ive found a few marked keys. Countless stashes + toolboxes + duffle bags. Found a GPU and bitcoin in the same house in different duffle.

[glass atlas]

Yeah I'd say thats the way, speed run through tour until you unlock all the traders and every map (excluding lighthouse and labs)

[gritty escarp]

oh yeah, in scav runs if you find quest items do they still count as "found in raid" or nah, if they do I might run a scav run just to get some easy things for a quest

[gritty escarp]

how long do you reckon this'll take for a person on their first wipe?

[glass atlas]

I dont have experience scavving factory, I usually just go there and run through if my scav spawned with something I need. Reserve I've gotten kiled quite a lot. Any map thats "popular for scavving" like lighthouse and reserve tend to have more people who just dont care and will KOS to take your loot.

[agile ice]

maybe im just unlucky but every time i get to those places they are either picked clean or i just get a bunch of mid loot, ill have to look up the safes though

[fiery moat]

no unless ur wearing a really really good body armor. its gun,armor,headset,rig(if the armor doesnt have its own rig) meds,helmet,backpack in this order

[glass atlas]

Honestly, 2 of my friends who just started in 1.0, I helped them in about 2-3 days of casual playing. So fi you can, find a friend maybe even from this discord who will guide you and most importantly teach you! There's plenty here. If you're brave enough to do it solo, depending on your luck I think a week of casual playing will be a good estimate.

[gritty escarp]

okay sounds good, thanks a lot and I'll definitely try to LFG sometime this upcoming week, time to grind now I guess aha

[fiery moat]

also guys just an advice, always check capital insight building on ground zero, i literally found my 2 gpus only there despite searching all maps with computers everytime,also i keep finding rams too. ground zero gave me 2 gpus(same computer and same day) and 10 rams from 2 buildings

[agile ice]

i just started in 1.0 as well probably 2 weeks after it wiped

[glass atlas]

only baout 1/10 raids i go there its looted, the rest is always stacked. But when I say stacked I don't mean lighthouse stacked. I'm not talking about left behind valuable spawns etc. It's just a ton of construction materials, duffles, and everything thats like 20k or more a slot. Which is why I say my runs net about 400k+ minimum. Since if I even have 20 free slots, I can fill it all up with nuts, bolts, etc, anything above 20k, and make 400k. (which is why it can goall the way up to above a million, cause ive found marked keys, bitcoins, GPUs.)

[agile ice]

fair point, im still learning what everything is worth but i average about 150k per run on pmc and scav, more if a pmc gets in my way

[fiery moat]

150k on a pmc run?

[agile ice]

idk loot spawns i end up runniong out of time

[glass atlas]

thats lowkey aura man, pmc being free cash, but yeah, 150k is really low if you have flea unlocked. It's impossible to know exactly how much everything is worth, so when I scav I suually have tarkov market up on my second monitor to search up stuff.

[agile ice]

i still need a map there lol

[glass atlas]

With this, my scav is usually full of ~25k a slot items, and I can get close to half a mil very consistently

[glass atlas]

I have almost 2k hours and still refer to a map consistently when i feel a little lost, and i aint ashamed

[agile ice]

i got customs memorized and interchange and ground zero at bare minimum to get out lol

[fiery moat]

my rule is to always make sure that my entire kits profits itself in one raid, i usually run 250-300k kits (25k ammo 100k gun 75k-ish armor 30k headset 50k helmet usually) but i tend to just try to leave instantly if i kill someone with similar or better gear so i can keep them and use as a next kit after i die

[fiery moat]

those 2 maps are the good essential ones tbh,nice to memorize them

[glass atlas]

for a new player this is pretty god imo, good job

[glass atlas]

thats fair enough

[fiery moat]

i fully fully memorized ground zero to the last tiny detail before i started to actually play other maps other than going in just for the quests. i usually play woods or interchange(i LOVE cash registers i hog all of them on goshan idea oli if i have the chance, and on woods i always go sawmill to either kill and loot shturman and guards or some pmcs and 80% just extract from outskirts)

[agile ice]

customs has been my go to since i need a ton of motors and i assumed with all the factories there would be a good chance to find them there

[glass atlas]

this is where shoreline is gna come in fire, ground zero too (for scav)

[fiery moat]

shoreline is a death wish

[glass atlas]

north east camp in shoreline, and car park for gz

[agile ice]

most of my pc kills are on shoreline lil

[fiery moat]

you dont find anyone in shoreline for the entire map duration and just starve to death or you just get shot at by 50 different angles

[glass atlas]

maybe on pmc if you go resort or weather station, but if you scav and hit the village near tunnel or the base top right, it is fine for me. As I said 95% SR, and 500k minimum every raid.

[glass atlas]

dying to food and water can be avoided by just bringing some in though

[fiery moat]

mine is roughly equal, but i hate the map, i just wanna do punisher part 1 and leave the map but i kill more pmcs than scavs cuz i cannot see scavs on that damn map

[agile ice]

ikr that one peacekeeper quest having to kill 10 with untar armor and helm took me like 6 raids because in 3 of them i never even saw a scav

[fiery moat]

bringing food into a raid is a camper's playstyle tbh. on my last raid of shoreline i was also camping near a scav spawn cuz i really wanted those scav kills, waited like 25 mins, then got bored and got so desparate i just decided to snipe off a terminal sniper guard for that 1 scav kill and instantly died afterwards

[fiery moat]

i havent even reached that quest lol im 27lvl and i have to mark 3 tanks on shoreline rn xd, and that quest also requires streets which is a map i also hate

[agile ice]

i hasve 160 hours and im level 26

just logged in lol

[fiery moat]

i got 300 with lvl27. i ignored quests so much and for some reason almost all my raids just last until the max duration even tho i come across pmcs quite much

[agile ice]

most of the levels came from arena

[fiery moat]

oh thats why

[glass atlas]

campers playstyle hahaha, why limit your options to a title... I just carry a water in my butt or a can of peas/squash depending on if im running golden star or ibuprofen. I also carry an SJ12 in my injectors case in case i somehow run out of everything. You might get your stomach blacked out mid fight, nothing about camping to have to use food and water my man.

[agile ice]

wanted the boxes from ref lol

[fiery moat]

idk man i never ever came across a situation(OTHER THAN the one i just mentioned on shoreline while doing punisher) where i actually needed food and water and couldnt find one from looting. 99% of the time i just max my food and water before a raid, and about stomach being blacked, that usually means the raid is gonna end soon for one, either killing the dude and taking the fastest extract,or escaping the fight and extracting, or just dying

[agile ice]

to be fair some maps have longer match timers than others

[fiery moat]

yea i think shoreline and interchange is pretty long i dont remember the timers fully tho

[agile ice]

i know shoreline is like 10 minutes more

[glass atlas]

yea, it's pretty common advice to stay in raid for a long time unless you have a super rare item on you, because longer you spend in raid, less pmcs there are (less risk) more scav kills (more xp) and more loot just from having more time to do so.

[agile ice]

makes a big difference

[glass atlas]

I play labs and if I do survive the first fight or 2, I end up staying in raid until the timer is red since the map is largely clear and I maximise my loot.

[fiery moat]

most of my raids i end up with around 10 water/food unless i already found and ate something or just straight up got sent to lobby early

[agile ice]

i only ever bring food if im planning on going to the very last second

[fiery moat]

i tend to never play the labs as i sold all my violet,red,yellow and black keycards cuz i was too nervous to play that map, i just go factory when i wanna pvp

[agile ice]

like getting pmc kills in scav gear

[fiery moat]

yea but unless ur playing woods or smth u just find food and water its everywhere on most maps

i rely on them and almost never run out

[agile ice]

i usually dont find food unless i kill scavs

[fiery moat]

an average interchange raid probably has more than enough food to feed every single pmc in the raid from 0 to 100

[glass atlas]

yall also just seem to never pre-med. Ibuprofen and golden star both take 10-17 hydration and energy, so you can easily run out of food an water in 20-30 minutes

[fiery moat]

definitely not unless i am sure im about to push someone or someone is about to push me, i dont go "oh i see a pmc lemme just crack open a goldenstar"

i take analgin often though

which is also -19 hydration

[agile ice]

i alwyas forget painkillers

[fiery moat]

i use grenades more than i use meds tbh xd

[agile ice]

i forget those too

[glass atlas]

that should definitely be your response though. if we take shoreline for example, I pop a pk off spawn because the spawns are so bad ive run into pms 20 seconds after. then I pop another one before running into resort, because who knows if someones watching from a window and will take ur legs out, and now you're guaranteed dead. anytime i enter a remotely high traffic area, its meds up.

[agile ice]

all my juiciest kills where within a minute on shoreline from spawn

[glass atlas]

exactly

[fiery moat]

i didnt have an issue with shoreline spawns but ground zero and customs spawns are AWFUl

i had 4 second ground zero raid and 2 second customs raid

yall probably know the spawns im talking about on both

[glass atlas]

yeah this is just you somehow, customs spawns are great because they're predictable and you can expect the flow of movement pretty well, ground zero is fine, not my cup of tea.

[fiery moat]

in ground zero its both on underground and around terragroup

[fiery moat]

there are 2 spawns that literally have direct vision if i remember correctly

[glass atlas]

yeah ground zero underground is bad, i agree with that, but you can also just avoid the other spawn below by going up a stair case

[glass atlas]

i'd love to be reminded, ive done so many customs raids and never have had 2 spawns with instant direct vision

[agile ice]

idk if itll let me post ss but these are my best kills

[fiery moat]

when you spawn near the scav extract, you either have to go into terragroup parking lot or emercom station,both having pmc spawns

[agile ice]

oh it did nice

those were almost all on shgoreline

[glass atlas]

yeah that spawn has no justification, easily one of the worst in the game

[glass atlas]

goodjob brother!

[agile ice]

poor razork had 2 fully kitted meta guns 6 60rd mags and full level 6 armor.... died to an ADAR to the eye from 150m lmao

[fiery moat]

one on train rails and the other one right across that river near the blue gate with tank and unknown key spawn, also theres one across the same road near that one bridge connecting big red to the map

[fiery moat]

i also head-eyed a dude with 9a-91(that crappy 9x39 gun,bare stock with iron sight) 174 meter, i saw something moving and thought it was a scav, bursted like 4-5 bullets and saw it dropping down, i went ahead to check that and saw a dude with M1A(hybrid suppressor,RSASS chassis,schmidt bender scope,the old test drive quest) and tier 6 armor with tier 4 flux helmet lying down. if that was me i'd just call it a cheater and report that

[glass atlas]

first one is predictable and it isnt instant, ive never died spawning there off rip, literally never in my hundreds of hours on customs. second one yea, not great, but again, isnt instant. if you follow the actual flow of the map, which is towards the opposite side you spawn, you wont die to the other spawn. And if you go against the flow, just be ready to fight the people that spawned there.

[fiery moat]

i died twice without being able to press WASD

[glass atlas]

If you have clips I'd be interested to see it. Because it hasnt happened to be doesnt mean it cant happen to everyone else, so im purely curious to how it looks.

[agile ice]

ive gotten a couple like that, i rarely bring modded guns and if i do mod them its a sight or a silencer lol

[fiery moat]

too old and ofc i dont keep clips, i especially turn off the clipping apps on tarkov cuz of fps

[agile ice]

i be spenig all my money on barters for cases, need more mag cases med cases and item cases

[glass atlas]

fair enough, I find the vods i record too valuable in terms of learning from my mistakes after i die, that i tank the fps loss and keep it on

[agile ice]

speaking of clips.... i gotta reset all my settings 😭 just upgraded my pc

[fiery moat]

i sometimes like to mod the hell out of non-meta guns like pp19 vityaz or vpo-209 tkm carbine. tbh with vityaz i dropped like 3 dudes and got myself full kitted AK-308, M4A1 with mags full of M995 and nl545 with metaslave build,imagine having those guns and dying to a vityaz

[agile ice]

ill never know what thats like since i have a ton of them and never bring them out lmao

[fiery moat]

by looks, i just spawned in, was adjusting my phone that was lying next to my mouse in the mousepad, then saw a tracer going into my chest and right another one going into my head with the flash coming from that tank side

[agile ice]

i like to bring the adar or mp5 with a random sight and try to get all the juiced guys

[tribal narwhal]

When doing tour and transitting from factory into Labs. Will there be other PMCs in Labs when you get there?

[glass atlas]

if this was right after the "get ready" screen with the countdown, you had to have been adjusting you phone for like 10 seconds and the other spawn to immediately rush to the sightline

[fiery moat]

i highly recommend MPX,Vityaz and MP9-N,especially the first and the third ones. they are legit the guns that i got most of my pmc kills right after bolt actions

[glass atlas]

when you transit, its like you're loading into a brand new labs raid. yes there will be PMCs, Full raid timer, all loot, etc, new raid.

[fiery moat]

the raid screen said something like 3.x(cannot remember decimal) if i remember correctly.

i was already out in the open by train tracks

[tribal narwhal]

Well shit haha. Gonna be avoiding that one for a long time haha

[fiery moat]

that dude probably spawned 1-2 seconds earlier than me as it happens with my friends too

[agile ice]

i tend to look for cheapest gun that i have ok ammo for

[glass atlas]

yeah then i'd reckon you were just unlucky. I never afk at certain spawns even for 10-20 seconds. because of this.

[fiery moat]

whats the ammo on ur ARs like 5.45 5.56 and 7.62x39

[glass atlas]

I decided to learn labs just recently. Touch mountain to climb but it only gets easier. One good thing is that you can do it in seperate raids (for tour to unlock labs) and you don't need to survive.. Pistol run it til you get it.

[agile ice]

this is all the ammo i have, havent gone through it all in a while but i dont usually keep rifle rounds under 30 pen

[fiery moat]

i mostly got PP and PS on 5.45, i got M856A1, M855 and SOST(i craft those) on 5.56 and i can only buy PS and T-46M1 on 7.62 aks(thats why i hate them) but i got tons of BS(literally 70 pen),BT etc. on 7.62x54r although i dont use that gun much

[tribal narwhal]

Won't that require possibly quite a few labs cards though haha

[glass atlas]

if you send a photo from the "search" window instead it'll be easier to see

[glass atlas]

took me 2 raids to do it, so 2 cards

if you consistently scav you'll have a few of them lying around, I got all 10 I needed for colleagues from scavs long before I got the quest.

[tribal narwhal]

Probably wait until I get more cards to go for it. Thanks for the tips

[fiery moat]

i see 5.45 T(20 pen) 7.62x39 FMJ(26 pen) 9x39 FMJ(17 pen) 5.56 RRLP(11 pen) m856(18 pen) i think u really keep rifle ammo under 30 pen xd, most of them are easily buyable too, u might wanna clear them, oh dont forget the .366 TKM eko thats just jaeger 2 ammo

[glass atlas]

no worries, you should be able to get 1/3 objectives every run, so hopefully 3 cards ar max. You can also chill in the basement until theres about 10-20 minutes left in the raid then go up to get your stuff. Sewer, one of the palces you need to go is super safe, so you're guaranteed to get it basically and its in the basement. Labs raids die really quickly, so going up late is probably safer.

[agile ice]

like i said its been a while since ive gone through it all lol i dont take under 30 into raid at least

[fiery moat]

i also dont understand green flare cartridges when u can easily buy green flares themselves from jaeger lvl1, and u have devastator(toz ammo...) regular buckshots and grizzly slugs, i think u can clear them

yea u have good SMG ammo and some good rifle ammo too, along with some funky ones

[tribal narwhal]

Haha that's how I've been doing a majority of my tasks

[glass atlas]

hopefully its been workin out for ya! i do that alot of stubborn quests I just cant seem to do.

[agile ice]

i keep the cartridges since i haqve the flare gun and the only cost 1gp from ref

[radiant shadow]

Anyone know the fix for my "To Great Heights Part 5?"? I completed it but i switch over to regular EFT and it says i still haven't gotten my 5 wins?

2 wins*

[glass atlas]

queue a scav raid, good chance it'll resync the 2 games

[radiant shadow]

will do

[glass atlas]

I love the cartidges but I'll never buy them. They are way faster to pull out and shoot and you dont get stuck in an animation, good for maps like customs with a more dangerous extract. but 1 gp coin is worth more than 6k rub to me.

[fiery moat]

1 ref coin is 7.5k roubles and jaeger sells flares for around 6k, but u have arena so makes sense

[agile ice]

i play arena when i dont feel like trying to surive so i have plenty of gp

[fiery moat]

i was gonna buy arena then i decided to literally ground myself like a parent does to a kid by forcing myself into punisher questline to get epsilon rather than getting theta. i already grinded money, did the hideout and learned pvp the hard long way and decided it would be a waste to my efforts if i upgraded my standard account with unheard or arena

[glass atlas]

if you end up prestiging or wiping your account, you can get theta without buying arena by using the 3 day arena trial you get from balancing part 1/2

[fiery moat]

i usually avoid and slack off some quests and didnt wanna keep doing that to punisher too

[agile ice]

i got unheard for stash space and gamma, i started when the twitch drops started so i needed the room desperately

[fiery moat]

wouldn't i be too far behind other players at this point though? im lvl27, 38 million roubles with a few million worth of euros and dollars, lvl3'd some places like medstation and have 75m inventory worth according to stats, i think wiping these off is not worth the theta

38m but i still find it expensive to mod a gun over 100k btw rofl

[glass atlas]

yeah thats why i said if you end up prestiging/wiping down the line. prestiging also makes you eligible to do it again.

[fiery moat]

prestiging deletes all the quest progress too right? ik it wipes inventory too, is it just a full wipe or do u keep roubles idk about rouble part

i'd definitely try that again normally but i think im far away from a prestige level and dont wanna wipe myself, and the game wont wipe itself after 1.0 afaik

[crimson thicket]

Yes prestige is basically a hard reset of your account with the ability to send a select amount of items to transfer to the next prestige.

[glass atlas]

pretty sure it wipes everything

[glass atlas]

ah thanks, i wouldn't know, never did it or even trying for it HAHAHA i just pvp

[fiery moat]

what are those items, is it similar to the space u get from btr driver to send items to ur stash

[crimson thicket]

Most people send a dozen bitcoins and some early game quest stuff that can be annoying to get

It's bigger than BTR transfer

[fiery moat]

so u can just keep all the roubles. one slot takes 1 million roubles and if theres 100 slots its quite easy to send all roubles and some other items

i wonder if u can send a thicc case full of weapons or items into it tho, do u have to empty the case

[crimson thicket]

You can't send cash

Can't send cases either

Hence the bitcoins

[fiery moat]

guns?

[crimson thicket]

Probably by it's not a ton of space. Sending any gun would be a waste. Really bad value per slot

[fiery moat]

ledx? can it be sent? i think people would convert their roubles into ledx

[crimson thicket]

Bitcoin is better value for slot if the goal is roubles

[fiery moat]

wait can u buy bitcoin straight up with cash

i thought it was loot or farm only

[crimson thicket]

You can barter from mechanic.

[fiery moat]

oh tetriz and greenbat

[crimson thicket]

But people will farm them for weeks leading up to prestige.

Lvl 55 is a ton of exp now

[fiery moat]

i assume 10m?

[crimson thicket]

10m exp? No I think way more than that

[glass atlas]

12.8 apparently

[fiery moat]

12.8

yea

[crimson thicket]

Yeah and 1m exp is a lot if you're not just running labyrinth on repeat

[fiery moat]

is it just by being lvl55 or do u have to do other things

[fiery moat]

it definitely is a lot, i literally have 1.08m xp all my playtime

[crimson thicket]

There are certain quests you have to complete to unlock the prestige quest, then you have to kill like raiders or something and turn in a bunch of FIR figurines

Especially since youve done most of the quests by the time you're like mid-high 40s

[fiery moat]

i saw some videos of ppl getting rewards after finishing and escaping, should i focus on storyline and go? is there an ending in which i dont need to hand 500 or 300m and still get some loot(afaik some endings dont have loot afterwards)

[crimson thicket]

Requirements change per prestige actually. For prestige 1 it's just eliminate 50 scavs. And apparently no prior quest requirement according to wiki

And the figurines are always needed

[crimson thicket]

Savior ending I believe is the cheapest. You have to turn in 40 bitcoins to mechanic as the "cost" for that one

When you get the case from prapor, refuse to give it to him, and then work with Mr. Kerman all the way through to the end. Requires you to complete all the story quests I think? I'm not actually sure, I just did them anyways cuz I wanted to get the "Little triumphs" achievement

[radiant shadow]

Anyone know the fix for my "To Great Heights Part 5?"? I completed it but i switch over to regular EFT and it says i still haven't gotten my 2 wins? i queued into a scav raid and it still hasn't fixed

[crimson thicket]

I don't know. I remember some people saying you need to boot EFT between wins 1 and 2

[fiery moat]

all story quests? like all chapters? i think i have 4 chapters active on me, how many are there?

[crimson thicket]

You might need to go play another arena match to fix it after booting tarkov? Idk tho gl brother.

[radiant shadow]

damn it took me so long to get 2 wins in a row

[crimson thicket]

7 chapters in all I believe

Some are really short. Batya is the longest and requires lightkeeper unlocked

[agile ice]

careful, i think the loss still counts if you dont turn it in

[crimson thicket]

Not including "tour" of course

[fiery moat]

are all of them are required for each single ending?

[crimson thicket]

No I think just for Savior

Mr Kerman asks for major evidences and you get them as the last step on each questline

[fiery moat]

oh ok, cuz i was told by some dude that falling skies etc. dont matter for some endings

[crimson thicket]

Well, falling skies is how you get the case

And I think you always need the case for any ending.

[slender plover]

Is Mr Kerman fence?

[crimson thicket]

No

He is buds with fence tho

[fiery moat]

last question can u list the major outcomes for handing and not handing over the case? all i remember is if u dont hand it prapor wants 500m for his ending

[crimson thicket]

Uhhh not without looking at the wiki. But like there are a few paths. Like hand it over then go to lightkeeper and get it back. That one might be the 300m requirement.
Handing it over to prapor I think is the 500m requirement. You can not hand it over, then change your mind and actually decide to work with prapor instead. I'd just check the wiki for specifics on "the ticket" in that case

[vital ember]

Whats the most efficient way to do setup?

[crimson thicket]

Unlock Shooter born in heaven, use mp-18 and post up and kill two birds with one stone.

[fiery moat]

mp-18 if u have some good 7.62x54, thank god that single shot rifle counts. if not that, u can load in magnum buckshots or piranhas into mp-153 or 155 and just go blast in dorms the old fashioned way, solid but probably not the best

[crimson thicket]

But like I said if you want the cheapest option (as I did) just don't hand over the case and work with Mr. Kerman through to the end. Turn in your 40 BTC and you're set

Some of the story quests are pretty cool, I think they're worth doing. I really enjoyed Batya

[fiery moat]

how many extra hours of storyline is that since i gotta finish all questlines, and do my actual trader quests need to be progressed too?

man i really wanna just buy pve and roleplay a realistic tarkov, like, just one life and ending storyline and escaping, but even then i'd probably get randomly onetapped at some point

[crimson thicket]

Nah story quests are independent of side quests. You will need to have 4.0 Fence rep to complete Savior so start using car extracts.
Really depends how efficient you are. Like I did the entire labyrinth questline in 1 raid (I guess 2 cuz you have to go back to shoreline to wrap it up)
Others, like Batya, take a while because you need to get Intel 3 and Solar power which requires those items from The Lab which can take a while to get if you're getting unlucky or dying.
You also have to kill Priest twice (cultists) which can be annoying and time consuming if you're getting unlucky

[flat osprey]

is lighthouse the best spot to get 100+m pmc kills?

[fiery moat]

anyways completely unrelated question for everyone, what tier ammo is okay for around this time of the game

[flat osprey]

depends where you're going

[fiery moat]

woods for me. i've gotten 307, 186 and 155

[flat osprey]

i somehow hit a 455 on that map

[fiery moat]

ground zero is supposed to be beginner friendly yet i see everyone tier 5+

[fiery moat]

which rifle? mine was sv98 and it wasnt my first shot since my ahh doesnt care about zeroing distance,always keeping it at minimum

[hidden seal]

not really depend the hour you play. If you play on workign hours ..yes. but on classical play hours I see a lot of real noobs

[crimson thicket]

Kind of depends on what's available to you and what the goal is. As a general rule you should try to run ammo that's 40+ pen at this point

[fiery moat]

only my 7.62x54r ammo has 40+ pen im cooked

[crimson thicket]

If you're running really low pen you need to try to hit unarmed face-shots or use flesh (leg meta)

[fiery moat]

i can buy T-46M with 41 pen and i have some BS with 70 pen

for example best 5.45 i can buy is PS with 28 pen and 5.56 is SOST with 33 that i can craft

[flat osprey]

i think i was using a dvl or a ak-103 lmfao

[fiery moat]

prapor 3, therapist 3, rest traders are all 2.

[crimson thicket]

yeah I mean you kind of have to run what you can run. Just use the best you've got. SOST is fine before you can buy 56a1

[fiery moat]

i suppose later on they will also get outclassed

[crimson thicket]

5.45 ammo is kind of plentiful to find loose this wipe as well. Lots of boxes of BT, BP, BS laying around

[fiery moat]

and since the game doesnt wipe, after some point, all ammo below 55 pen will be useless i think

[vital ember]

Leg meta

[fiery moat]

they really need to make this game 1000x more hardcore since it doesnt wipe anymore

[crimson thicket]

Nah, 90% of people are just running a standard helmet, Class 4

As long as you can pen that you win

[fiery moat]

i just spray their faces until their masks break, i use 9x19 pst mostly and most of my kills have been faceshots,well otherwise i just die thats why

[crimson thicket]

Anyone above lvl 40 is basically running tier 5 armor at this point anyways. CBJ, m80 and such still slap. Just need to put a few rounds in them or headshot

[fiery moat]

which wont be for long, everyones grinding,at one point it will just be full of altyns,tagillas or killas

[crimson thicket]

You underestimate how much people hate having their vision restricted

And having good hearing

[vital ember]

Not everyone tho

[crimson thicket]

Tagilla mask feels bugged. I hate that thing. I've been shot head, nape from the front with shit ammo so many times

Also killa helmet is class 4 save for the faceshield

[fiery moat]

class 4 helmet class 6 faceshield with no eye protection,i've been able to kill some ppl with some lucky eye shots

i still believe that after one point everyone will just pick a side. A-highest pen ammo,classic playstyle, B-highest flesh dmg ammo, legmeta. no inbetween ammos

[crimson thicket]

Eh, people run what they can get their hands on

And people will inevitably prestige too and then they're back to the lower class ammos available to them

But like I said good 5.45 ammo is plentiful if you know where to look

[hasty falcon]

need help lab quest tour need to "search the top management office in the lab and escape via drainage system"

too much gigachad in the area need a second rat like me or someone tuff

[tidal lagoon]

it has eye protection

[fiery moat]

is the eyeslit at least lower class or just tier 6? cuz i definitely shot someone with an akms with 26 pen ammo and collected his maska helmet with faceshield

[tidal lagoon]

whole faceshield is t6, u can get through by shooting it many times lowering its hp increasing penetration chance or with blunt damage, but u cant shoot through the hole

[flat osprey]

there is a ballistics calculating website to see how many bullets it takes until it pens

just look up tarkov ballistics calculator

[kindred sapphire]

I've had two raids so far each I died within the first 5 minutes. Would anyone want to join me on a raid?

[flat osprey]

for ex. when i fight shadow of tagilla i prefer BT over the higher pen BP / BS due to high ricochet chance, bt rips it in like 4 while bp/bs takes like 6 (for 5.45)

[sharp plume]

https://discord.com/channels/521608697764380694/646789568925794324

[slender plover]

What durability do you ditch your weapon at

[flat osprey]

generally when max durability is <85

[slender plover]

Oh ok I’ve been selling at 90

I can milk a few more raids

[fiery moat]

same

even at 92 and 93 i got a few jams

ppl said below 95 it starts to jam but my friend told me his as val once jammed at 98

[slender plover]

Also let’s say someone has t6 armor on and I have 0 pen bullets that do 40 damage to flesh. If I shoot 1000 bullets Into the t6 armor does anything happen

[fiery moat]

yes

i'd say less than 100 bullets u would kill the dude

So the armor does take damage

Does range matter at all? If you’re right next to someone is it more damage

[fiery moat]

the ballistic plates(t6) and the soft built-in armor inside(mostly tier 3) will be 0 durability and ur bullets will just start going in like nothing is there

[flat osprey]

here ill show u with the ballistics calculator

[fiery moat]

higher velocity does more damage yea

bullets with 85 dmg (which is same as thorax hp) won't oneshot thorax mostly even tho it perfectly pens the armor

had this issue so many times with 50 cal deagle and TCW SP(7.62x51)

probably 1-2 dmg dropoff from range and velocity decreasing

[flat osprey]

against the zabey mask, it would take 100 bullets of 5.6mm 20 guage to pen enough to kill.

unsure if the pellets count as individual bullets tho

[slender plover]

I think they do

[fiery moat]

thats MINUTES of toz shooting if its 100 shells and not 100 pellets

[flat osprey]

yes

lmfao

[fiery moat]

at least its not a scene that could happen. i havent seen anyone use the zabey and if one uses it while encountering a toz dude, that toz dude will probably just not aim head-level after seeing that mask(if he ever lives)

[flat osprey]

it was just an example for tier 6

[kindred sapphire]

ok. sorry new

[flat osprey]

you cant use the zabey.

[fiery moat]

does it just not drop?

[flat osprey]

u cant pick it up

[fiery moat]

i never killed shadow of tagilla i thought that mask would just be like the normal tagilla mask

[fiery moat]

just like his hammer i guess

[flat osprey]

its juiced asf that helmet is the best one in the game by far

u can get a replica with a special sacrifice

[fiery moat]

makes sense that its not usable by pmcs, but also it wouldnt be unkillable as it would take just one bullet from 5.45 ppbs igolnik from an ak spraying it

[fiery moat]

yea i forgot which sacrifice it was but u get a decoy one that has no protection

[flat osprey]

people would def be using it if it was available

best one behind that is the rys-t with face shield

and then altyn with face shield, which can make the rys-t with a craft

[worldly pawn]

Do I need to bring the terragroup evidence with me when I go to terminal?

[lyric crescent]

Anyone got any tips on how to get my money up to give 20,000 to peacekeeper?

[vocal mist]

Yes, you need to bring the Alpha-1 case, otherwise you won't even be able to transit to Terminal

[eager tide]

you mean the yellow A-1 container or what its called? Yes in that case

[flat osprey]

many different ways, you can run labs (dangerous), do factory runs and steal loot off pmc's and quick extract -> sell (can make 500k per run), you can go woods and grab the always-spawning military battery off that place that is only accessible via BTR...

[eager tide]

but dont worry it will get sent back to you viva message if you should die on shoreline

[lyric crescent]

Ight

[eager tide]

Actually did Terminal today on my first try, good luck to you!
