[eager tide]

It was so much fun

[flat osprey]

always loot the 2 safes in the office area if you do the factory strat

[lyric crescent]

Where is the office? i havent played too much factory

[fiery moat]

sell guns or flash drives etc. to him, he pays decent. u can also just buy dollars from him with roubles which is slightly worse value

[eager tide]

dont go factory for money imo

[fiery moat]

the main building on factory that has a bridge on the side that connects to another building

[eager tide]

you can just buy the dollars from him via rubels, so just loot a lot ands sell on the flea market

[lyric crescent]

Ight ty

[worldly pawn]

last thing, after swiping when walking up to the cam, do I just need to have my knife out?
OR does my gun have to be in my backpack itself

[eager tide]

dont know actually, but go safe and put it in your backpack

[vocal mist]

neither

Your gun gets lowered down automatically when you approach the transit, just make sure to not pull it out once that happens

[worldly pawn]

Well died to a person camping the transit but thanks for the help

[reef ermine]

hey I've been trying to track down a key card for labs for a minute, haven't found a thing. Any suggestions on card spawns for someone brand new to tarkov?

[warm venture]

What do i do when im on this step? Kerman wont talk to me. I heard hes supposed to tell you to visit mechanic and give him 40 BTC but nothing happends-

Do i have to wait a certain amount of time?

[eager tide]

dont you have a new craft in the intel center? i think thats what you have to do, but im not 100% shure

[warm venture]

Ye i got that craft but i dont have the RFID encryption device which i think is what you get after speaking to mechanic and going to an apartment on streets

Its weird

[eager tide]

yeah you gain acces to that thing after giving him the 40 bitcoins

[eager tide]

yesss

[warm venture]

Thats kinda the issue kerman wont speak to me about mechanic and mechanic hasnt got anything about it

[flat osprey]

why can i not eat these damn croutons. they dont go away. the never-ending crouton prevails

[eager tide]

well you need to craft the keycard thats needed in the craft with the blue text on, do you have that? at least I think thats what you need to do

[warm venture]

I have the other two

But not the encryption device so im not sure what to do really

[eager tide]

have you already given mechanic the 40 bitcoins?

[warm venture]

Nah, kerman is supposed to tell you to go speak to mechanic but he wont

[eager tide]

maybe there is a time gate between that, did you get to that point today?

[warm venture]

Ye like 3 hours ago ish so i was thinking it might be like a 24 hour thing or so

[crimson thicket]

Have you talked to kerman about not being able to find the encryption device in labs

And he tells you the raiders probably made off with it

[warm venture]

No, i havent got that. Theres no dialog option for kerman. I stayed the 30 mins and got it to fail but after that nothing more happend really

[crimson thicket]

Go labs again maybe

I ran labs until the option came up to say "I can't find the encryption device"

Then he says yeah the raiders probably got it. We'll have to find a new path forward. Talk to mechanic

[eager tide]

oh yeah, I think you have to do like 3 raids and then the option will come

[warm venture]

Ye let me go on labs again

Ive done 2 raids so that might be it

[eager tide]

If you want the savior ending, I hope you know that you need to grind your way to lightkeeper, just want to warn you 😂

[warm venture]

I wanna do debtor ending tbh

[eager tide]

yeah the background looks sick

[warm venture]

Still figuring out how to get there but i think im on the right way so far

[warm venture]

fr

[eager tide]

you can look it up on the wiki if you want to

[undone drum]

Watching recordings is less time consuming

[ivory trench]

Agreed

[naive hedge]

Can anyone tell me where a hand drill spawn is on customs i remember i found one in a building near ruaf extract and where the goons spawn on the floor but idk what building that was or if there is any more of those spawns

Also if anyone can please tell me where bulbex cable cutters spawn and toolsets

Thank you!

[noble rose]

I kinda need help since I just started the new wipe and can anyone tell me what has changed since Wipe 0.14?

[shrewd python]

lots
watch a vid or something

[inland marlin]

Loot is dynamic so any tool spawn a hand drill can spawn. same with the rest. since they are tool items, they will spawn in any loose tool spawn or tool container like a toolbox.

[oblique otter]

w scav extract?

[unique linden]

Hey, how do I know how many more tasks I gotta do until kappa?

[naive hedge]

Thank you

[midnight ingot]

check every quest you have on the wiki to see if it is required for kappa

[shrewd python]

you can check the list of requirements for kappa and just trace it back

[tranquil turtle]

is M61 craftable ?

this wipe?

[cursive prawn]

no we get m80a1 now

after wet job part 6 in workbench lvl 3

[tranquil turtle]

🙁 ok

so where is a good place to loot m61

[cursive prawn]

why do you want m61 so bad ? m80a1 is more than enough

[tranquil turtle]

because if i die one more time to vengefull killa im gonna lose it

i thought shadow tegilla was going to be the issue, but he only ever takes my arms off at best
but for some reason i can wear tier 1000 armor on my face and still get one tapped by killa in mid run

[cursive prawn]

if you’re dying to him with m80a1 or other high pen rounds it’s not the bullets it’s you’re strategy. you need to watch more videos on how to fight him, how he agros, kill times, shot placement, etc.

[tranquil turtle]

so i figure use a ridiculous overpowered bullet prefiring as he round the corner so i cannot give him a chance to shoot me

[tranquil turtle]

thanks for the feedback

if i can ask you another question, how long does it take for wetjob -6 to start?

[cursive prawn]

once you complete the spa tour quest line you can start the wet job quest line

[torn rapids]

you need to do all of spa tour

how are you lvl 45 and not done spa tour yet wtf 😭

[tranquil turtle]

not prioritizing quests like i should

[tranquil turtle]

is there more after spa tour 7? i have that done

[cursive prawn]

[tranquil turtle]

[bold kernel]

hey your not allowed to kill pmc's from light keeper island right?

[astral glen]

You can kill people from the island just fine

As long as they are not past the gate on the bridge to the island they are fair game

[bold kernel]

okay thanks

[buoyant apex]

can any1 help me with TGH pt3 ts is making me pull my hair out

[undone drum]

Do you still keep everything you loot in the tutorial? Or do you get all the good stuff after tutorial completion anyway?

[glass atlas]

u get the good stuff after regardless of whether you pick it up in the tutorial or not (happened for me for the ledx, gpu, and the mpx)

[undone drum]

nice nice, thanks!

[glass atlas]

no worries

[astral glen]

The task tells you what is needed

The only requirement is that it be an MP5SD

[light pagoda]

it tells you what is needed.

[dusty parcel]

so on grounds using the flare is supposed to stop u from getting hit by the sniper or no??

[astral glen]

Green flares stop the sniper scavs from shooting your party in the extraction zone (if fired correctly)

[dusty parcel]

so theres a wrong way of firing it?

[astral glen]

Many of them

The flare has to ignite in the air inside the extraction zone

[dusty parcel]

got ya thank you

[split basin]

for the fishing gear task after you do it do you need to survive or can you just die?

any tips for it?

[hidden seal]

Before you try to find something in a map, advice, play 2-3 times in practice mode to learn to navigate it at basic level

can someone explain my sometimes flares are not working?

[weary sky]

you shooting them wrong?

[cursive prawn]

[umbral salmon]

i mean i am straight looking up and shooting..

[cursive prawn]

they work, you’re doing something wrong.

thats wrong

[jovial nest]

posting it in one chat will suffice

and usually yes they do, itll just call in a regular crate

[cursive prawn]

you don’t need to ask the same question in multiple different chats. i answered you once.

[woeful spruce]

If youre using the handheld flares you should not look fully up but like ¾ of the way up. And shoot it as soon as the signal area marker pops up in tye bottom right. Its much more reliable that way for me

[unique mantle]

guy, does anyone knows solar still reduces hideout management skill leveling ?

[hidden seal]

and thatvis not the correct angle. you need to look up just enough that ground level leaves your screen

[radiant falcon]

hello i would like to ask for help in account, i bought tarkov in steam but it kinda made an account for me and when i try to access the account profile throught he launcher it prompts me to account creation with email. when i try to link with steam it says account steam account already linked, when i try to log in with my email used in steam it errors

The email address on this domain cannot be registered. its a yahoo account but i cant change my steam email or i dont want to

when i try to reset pass, it says Email not found

[mortal valley]

Hey, how do people hit levels that quick because i mostly do quests but i cant manage to hit a high level or have to grind real hard, is there a method or some kind of trick i dont know about, how do yall hit your levels so quick because i mean streamers hit level 40 or smth in like 1 week from wipe

[warped acorn]

I mean they play like 12hrs a day

[warm venture]

I asked about this yesterday but i cant seen to get it fixed. I found the master pass and stayed for a certain amount of time in a Labs raid to get the top task to fail like intended. What should happend is that kerman reffeers you to mechanic but he has no dialog. Im supposed to hand over 40 BTC but no matter what i do kerman wont say anything. I have waited like 20 hours ish

[mortal valley]

yeah sure but they still hit level 40 in 2 weeks and i cant manage to get to 40 in 4 months

[warped acorn]

its okay buddy, don't compare urself to others

everyone has its own pace

[mortal valley]

[hidden seal]

pff I am at level 15..

different people put different priorities on things

[unique mantle]

go more raids into labs

it will unlock eventually

nvm, you already failed the subtask

then talk to mechanic?

[warm venture]

After you fail it you are supposed to talk to kerman who tells you to visit mechanic but theres no dialog and mechanic has no dialog about either

Many other people have gotten it but not sure if theres any known fix other than waiting

[unique mantle]

have you tried restarting the game ? clear cache maybe ?

[warm venture]

Ye i restarted but i guess i could try clearing cache too

[unique mantle]

sometimes these fail to trigger

[unique mantle]

"WARNING: IF THE DIALOGUE WITH KERMAN IN THE INTELLIGENCE CENTER DOES NOT APPEAR AFTER RESTARTING THE GAME, START ANY SHORT CRAFT (FOR EXAMPLE, LAB KEYCARDS) SPECIFICALLY IN THE INTELLIGENCE CENTER. THEN COLLECT IT, RESTART THE GAME, AND CHECK WHETHER THE DIALOGUE HAS APPEARED."

on one of the guide site

[warm venture]

I did this without any success. If nothing works ill just wait a little since it might be a timegate or something.

Or do more labs raids ig

[unique mantle]

i dont think there was a timegate for me

[gentle monolith]

they burn out in two weeks and you keep having fun after months, who’s the real winner

[warm venture]

Weird ig, hopefully fixes itself somehow

[unique mantle]

bitcoin farm goes brrr

there are so many quest to do in the meantime

[minor crescent]

how many m855 to pen a tier 4 vest?

like generally

[unique mantle]

6th shot is 50% pen chance

[minor crescent]

oh

oh ok thanks

[woeful spruce]

13% on first shot, tgen incrementally more on each one depending hiw much damage tge plate takes. If you factor in the properties of the likely soft armor of the vest the chance is gonna be lower

[unique mantle]

6 hit has a good chance to kill

[minor crescent]

so mostly i should go full magdump to a sure kill?

[unique mantle]

yeah

[woeful spruce]

With m855 you should aim for the head and neck. For sure dont bet on quickly killing a guy to the chest

[wet inlet]

whats the headset with most noise canceling and sound pickup?

idk what headset to take in raid

[woeful spruce]

??headset

[red thistle]

Thanks to Gigabeef, here is a mostly complete guide on general usefulness of a headset (updated 8th Jan)
https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/523438319929917441/1458751879705002086/image.png?ex=6960c80e&is=695f768e&hm=00342df641c7d33fb4239957e528aa498390263d2bcb8462280c9b6a60169019&=&format=webp&quality=lossless

[woeful spruce]

The numbers is numbers of meter from which the sound of running is audible. Thats the moat imporatnt stat for pure gameplay advantage

For noise cancelling i dont particularly care about that so dont have an awnser for that

[wet inlet]

headphone or headset you know the thing for sound

[wet inlet]

what does the run mean?

[woeful spruce]

The double question mark is just a command to make the bot poat that image dont worry. The run means from how far away you can hear a guy running in those headsets

[wet inlet]

oh ok thanks i though i said it wrong

[wet inlet]

and is there a list about noise canceling too?

[woeful spruce]

Im not aware of it if so

[wet inlet]

i prefer noise canceling than sound pickup it just sound better

[hidden seal]

tbh the difference from 62 to 67 meters is not that big

using the same headset always to get used to how things sound imho tends to be more relevant

am i missing any good keys for money?

[ivory trench]

what is this

[woeful spruce]

if you dismantle the wall you will acess a new area in the hidout with new cool modules

[ivory trench]

where do i get the hammer to dismantle it?

[woeful spruce]

backside of interchange behind goshan has one almost every raid for me

[ivory trench]

okay thanks

sorry where exactly are you referring to goshan

in goshan?

like the very back? of hemol ?

[high palm]

anyone have any akm builds im trying to do the punisher quest

I have proper 2 mech 2 pk 2

[safe grove]

Just any sledgehammer at tool spawns on any map

You have to wait like a dayish to get the dismantle option

[ivory trench]

kk thanks

[gusty marsh]

Whats the best way to get these pistol kills, it feels impossible

[woeful spruce]

along the back wall of the mall. the part that separates the store itself from the outside

[olive rune]

factory prob

[woeful spruce]

factory is good but lots of geared guys to stomp you. stirrup is not a quest you have to do at all and for sure not rush it. i usually do it as i play by for example taking a fiveseven along to when im sniping with bolties, you naturally kill plyers with a pistol in that playstyle

[shrewd python]

if you're trying to do stirrup just don't

like the other guy said, it'll happen over time

[teal dagger]

How far can you hear normal walking/crouching?

[gusty marsh]

sounds good then thanks yall

[open grove]

If it’s Stirrup (PMC pistol kills), factory for sure but the quest leads no where, dont feel pressured to do it, its better to do other quests which lead to more quests etc

[ivory trench]

what does unheard armband do?

[mystic prism]

can someone help me please i spawn at lighthouse near the landmine and my friend fell asleep i am trying to extract

[safe grove]

Armbands do nothing just drip

[safe grove]

If you mean on the hills near rogues, you gotta go away from rogue camp and kinda follow that on the left side and you'll hit path to shoreline

[brittle jolt]

keys are the bane of my existance in this game...

[mystic prism]

thank you

[brittle jolt]

i should have organized these before today

[ivory trench]

what is this icon?

[brittle jolt]

desync

youre lagging

[ivory trench]

do yo uguys get this issue much?

everytime i start sprinting i get sync

[open grove]

An average server (for EU atleast) spikes with that maybe once/twice a game

If its happening over and over it means your server is dying or its a you problem (e.g your internet is spiking, run task manager and keep an eye on your ethernet to verify)

[small bluff]

when you temporarily disconnect 😅

[cloud basin]

wait u get items from fence for coop exfiling?

[woeful spruce]

yup, its usually garbage but its something

[cloud basin]

thats cool

[ivory trench]

Man how do you guys put up with it, it’s hella aggravating

Is there no fix for it?

[open flower]

do the fireworks still work?

[drowsy coral]

does anybody know if me and my duo want to transit from factory to labs, do we both need to have labs card or is one labs card enough to enter for both of us

[cloud basin]

stockholm syndrome

as is with everything in this game

[cloud basin]

both

1 card = 1 entry per 1 person

[ivory trench]

Feel that, I’ve already developed it. This game has killed my mental but I keep going back

[cloud basin]

:3 one of us! one of us!

[hidden seal]

only at the exact moment scavs spawn

[ivory trench]

Bruh LOL, has this always been in the game or since 1.0?

[hidden seal]

since way oldar afaik. but it is only at that moment and very short

[ivory trench]

Wow can’t believe they haven’t addressed or fixed this if it’s an old problem, it’s incredibly frustrating

[hidden seal]

i barely notice

and is related to unity

how it propagate new entities on its network model

[cloud basin]

hm

do we tell him

[reef mist]

can anyone help me with the tour

[cursive prawn]

what do you need help with

[brittle jolt]

what does white flare do?>

[vital pelican]

does anyone know a good way to do coop extracts?
I'm having bad luck with player scavs not showing up to woods coop

[small bluff]

somebody said using green smokes could be good to signal.

you can also cheese the scav extract on woods

[vital pelican]

saw a video about driving scavs, you can push them while crouching and they miss like 95% shots

boutta die couple of times trying to finish the ticket lmao

[fiery moat]

does shoreline just not have any scavs tf

2 hours of shoreline and ZERO scavs found

and i keep visiting scav spawn locations too

[wary timber]

all scavs go resort

[fiery moat]

ur talkin abt the ai too right?

[flat osprey]

any idea why kollontay keeps on rushing me first out of all of his guards? tryna complete a ref task where i kill 2 guards but not kollontay/kaban but kollontay keeps pushing me first

[compact wind]

kaban is easier for that. kollontay rushes and jams your weapons when he gets close enough. try pushing in kaban area because he likes to stay in the sides while his guards push.

[fiery moat]

about the jam, anyone worried about facing him first time should choose open-bolt guns as they just cannot jam

[flat osprey]

there was no kaban so i had to try kollontay. the idiot ran into my nade

like holy shit man how dumb can you be

[woeful spruce]

What open bolt guns do we have? Ppsh, the big uzi, The machineguns like rpd are open bolt too right?

[gritty saddle]

can anyone teach me how to play i just got the game im american

[fiery moat]

yes,as far as i know most if not all LMGS are open bolt. i was thinking about RPD when writing that

yall should i rush health resort for punisher part 1 or wait for scavs elsewhere? i have such a hard time doing this quest for absolutely no reason other than not seeing scavs in any type of spawn

[woeful spruce]

Learning this game is an incredibly complex process its probably the best to start by watching the videos about the various game systems released by the devs and maybe some beginner guides. Only then to start playing otherwise you will be so overwhealmed and confused you will not have any fun

[woeful spruce]

I get a lot of kills for it at the bus depot near the resort as well as by the port/gas station

But scavs have been scarce this wipe its true

[fiery moat]

i normally see loads of them on most other maps but on shoreline i've seen literally more pmcs than scavs

[flat osprey]

ngl factory has been a great scav farm for me

[fiery moat]

i got 6 scav 8 pmcs kills on there, i dont even visit resort where all pmcs go

[flat osprey]

usually 10+ scav kills every game, shoreline health resort is good, customs dorms is great

[fiery moat]

yeaah, the thing is i have this quest called punisher part 1 where i have to use a 7.62 ak and kill 15 scavs on shoreline

[flat osprey]

ohh aight try going to the health resort then the scav base

[fiery moat]

not a fan of 7.62 nor shoreline nor farming scavs i just wanna skip to the next part

[flat osprey]

try to build the gun better, makes it so much more enjoyable

[fiery moat]

yeah that probably answers my first question, ill try to do that

[fiery moat]

the punisher part 1 unlocks the PS ammo for 7.62

i dont wanna mod a gun that i dont have good ammo for

i just slap 4x or 3x scopes on some ak-103 or 104s and call it a day

[flat osprey]

ak-103 is damn near the best ak you can get

one sec ill show u a goated build

[fiery moat]

idk the difference between 103 and 104 except 104 is shorter

[flat osprey]

yea thats it, altho for most maps having LR is better

long range^

[fiery moat]

atp im just gonna do a funny thing where i just shoot a terminal sniper and get instakilled by the game itself

thats what i did yesterday when i snapped cuz i couldnt find scavs for 25 mins

[flat osprey]

this is as good as a 104 can get, its identical to the 103 build (and yes the scope mount increases ergo by 2)

[fiery moat]

why tf would i build a gun like that

how much does this cost 400k?

[flat osprey]

here ill check i have enough $ for it

[fiery moat]

im literally using pso scopes for 10k to not buy a holo for 20k

and u show me this

double holos and that expensive ahh grip

[flat osprey]

28k for 103 + 75k for mods + a vodka bottle for the stock

then again, ive done a shitload of quests so i can buy everything from traders

[fiery moat]

brother that foregrip costs 60k itself with the holos being like 50k each

[flat osprey]

the double holo is a mistake

[fiery moat]

mag is also 20k

[flat osprey]

this is my 103 build

ergo grip and stock can be changed out for a cheaper stock no problem

vs combo is also prob expensive, switch it for a cheaper one

[fiery moat]

instead of vudu i can buy 3 more aks

i think you dont realize the class difference between my gun and the ones u show

i just wanna kill some scavs not pvp

i may have 40 mil but im not gonna spend over 35k

cuz i dont even have good ammo for the gun and dont like it

[flat osprey]

100%, youll still have a better time and prob change ur opinion on the 762x39 guns if u build it that way (or similarly)

[fiery moat]

i may try 7.62 guns if i unlock some decent ammo

[flat osprey]

PS is a great round, i got 20 tagilla kills mad quick with it

[fiery moat]

which side is the resort? i think im on path to lighthouse but cannot really understand which way to go. btw should i go tunnel and that one little island with houses for scavs?

right in front of me is the village with lakes

[flat osprey]

the right wing side has the scav base if you go directly right, one sec

[fiery moat]

directly right? wdym? you mean into the wall?

[fiery moat]

no no im on the other side of the map, path to lighthouse as i said

[flat osprey]

Yes, not too many scav spawns over there afaik

I'd highly recommend going to that base itll have at least 3-5 scavs

unless others already killed them

[fiery moat]

so which side should i go? right behind me 180 degrees or just a full left?

for the resort

or should i go tunnel and around those places

[flat osprey]

Tunnel has PMC spawns

try the gas station, the pier as well

usually at least 3 scavs there

best scav spots i've seen

[fiery moat]

yea nvm i just extracted ill just go another match, literally 0 noise everywhere

[flat osprey]

Throw nades at the health resort

the scavs will voice line if theyre close at all

like go inside a wing and toss it down the hallway

also, seems dumb but if you drop your weapon (have 0 weapons in your inventory) you can get " tagged and cursed" and the scavs will go straight to you if theyre within a 150m radius

Go into a safe room and drop your gun, and wait

[fiery moat]

wait this is kinda smart, ill try that in closed areas especially if i spawn in those villages again

[flat osprey]

yea if you drop your gun or dont have any: backpack/rig/body armor (all of those must be off) you also get tagged and cursed

dropping gun is best tho

[fiery moat]

so i can also try the same tactic with just dropping everything except gun and headset right?

i didnt know the tagged and cursed was disabled when u had a non-armored rig, and also didnt know the exact radius too

[flat osprey]

No just drop the gun

You get tagged and cursed if you dont have a gun OR dont have rig/backpack/body armor

[fiery moat]

just got 2 scavs as i spawned next to road to customs

3*

i just drop the gun inside warehouse

[flat osprey]

if you have a rig and a gun, youre not tagged and cursed. if you have a backpack and gun, not tagged and cursed. if you have body armor and gun, not tagged and cursed.
if you have no gun and a full kit, youre tagged and cursed

if that makes sense

verbiage from the wiki:

[fiery moat]

yea i read that and i was confused with "or" s

[flat osprey]

i'd bet an engineer wrote that

[fiery moat]

anyways

[flat osprey]

cause it makes sense to me lol. basically gun and one of the other things listed, and youre not tagged and cursed

[fiery moat]

i got 5 scavs in 4 mins, way better than my other matches where i got 0 in total of 2 hours

[flat osprey]

bro trust i understand. farmed factory for 50+ raids just to get a SINGLE piece of armor for kappa. it was my last item

[fiery moat]

yea yesterday i was literally so bored and desperate that i just left away my entire kit and shot the terminal sniper just for 1 more scav kill, i said that before probably but wanna repeat it

can more scavs spawn in the same location or should i start moving

my gun has been on the ground for a solid 3 mins

[flat osprey]

ik in factory you can have scavs spawn on the other side of the map if you stay on the other side for a while

like if youre at gate 3 they will spawn at med tent / gate 0 after a few mins

[woeful spruce]

If you need scavs on factory you can just fuck around and with 10 mins left the place is gonna be full of playerscavs

[flat osprey]

doing punisher, needs em to be on shoreline

[fiery moat]

part 2 is on reserve i suppose it will be easier

its just any silenced weapon and 7 half masks right

i already got 2 half masks FIR

[flat osprey]

yea the masks can be found anywhere

[fiery moat]

im sure that they will be as rare as a ledx when i start that quest

[flat osprey]

nothing will be more rare than the SG-C10 / COFDM when you need it for lightkeeper

i ran reserve at least 30x to get 4 fucking sg-c10s

[fiery moat]

im still worried about virtexes for when i need them, i only got 1 and i think that wasnt from a regular raid loot

[flat osprey]

go labrynth

they are very common there

i found at least 3 in one raid on that map

[fiery moat]

i dont have keycards nor anyone to play with on there

[flat osprey]

fair enough. reserve is ok for virtexes

[fiery moat]

i assume labs is just a premium factory and labyrinth is a premium labs right

i play factory very often but not the other 2 maps

the tales that others told me about those maps before i bought this game still persist on my head

[flat osprey]

labrynth is more for specific items, it can have btc and stuff. but less loot in total

you can make an ez half mil-few mil per run on labs, not so much on labrynth

[fiery moat]

are they similar in difficulty of survival though

[kindred grotto]

imo laby is harder

and takes more time to get into

[fiery moat]

get into as for the difficulty to obtain that keycard?

or get used to the map layout?

[kindred grotto]

you need to transit from west wing resort

which can be tricky

hard bosses on laby and sweatier players imo

[flat osprey]

than labs?

[kindred grotto]

y

[flat osprey]

labs has some of the most sweaty players in mankind

UBGLs

[hidden seal]

labs ones at least use dehodorant

[flat osprey]

that place is a hellhole, main problem with labrynth is the boss has a lvl 6 helmet. killa is a joke

[kindred grotto]

me rn looking for him :3

[flat osprey]

just shout a few times youll find him

[fiery moat]

i suppose that ash is loaded with ps12as and looking at some toes?

or is there another way to get thru that armor

[flat osprey]

ps12b is a goated round but if u cant buy it id still opt for ps12

i cant do leg strats tho tbf

[fiery moat]

12a is the one with 165 dmg 10 pen right?

[flat osprey]

lowest pen of them all, so prob

[fiery moat]

yea im sure 12b has highest pen so regular ps12 is the middle ground

i could literally use that rsh12 revolver as a sidearm if i had ps12b

[flat osprey]

(just run the deagle)

.50 AE not .357

L6 is .50 ae i think, L5 is .357

[sleek marsh]

yo i cant do anything in this game its impossssible

what should i be running with lvl 1 traders 74su and just try to be a ghost?

[flat osprey]

scav run factory lol

[sleek marsh]

I spawn in woods and just blow up to landmines lol

[fiery moat]

i think L5 has .50AE variant too. i used to have a pistol case full of 50ae deagles and im pretty sure at least 2 of them were L5, one was L6,one L6 with tiger stripes, rest was Mark XIX

man im still waiting for the remaining 3 scavs, sitting in a corner, munching on some food i found while looting, my gun is still on the floor

[flat osprey]

if u run into the goons they count as scavs

if u think u got em

[fiery moat]

yea ofc 2 pmcs just run into me and die when im tryna kill scavs

dude has tagilla armor too but its too late for me to extract

other one has a full kit mdr...

dont talk abt that it gets u banned on discord

[flat osprey]

well didnt realize that

if you crash during a transit you go back to lobby 👍

[fiery moat]

goodbye tier 6 and tier 5 armors with tier 4 and 5 helmets along with nl545

and 2 marlins for some reason both having specter

imagine having allat loot and dying to some dude using FMJ rounds with 26 pen

[flat osprey]

if youre going MIA drop all ur stuff

[fiery moat]

ima nade myself

[flat osprey]

that is on the wiki so i think thats fine to say

[fiery moat]

yea ik stuff dropping thing

i just dont want any more MIAs on my profile xd

[flat osprey]

only time i went mia was on woods when i solo'd it for the first time

(i was literally 20 feet from outskirts)

[fiery moat]

wait i wasted my nade right

i have to go MIA now

dunked it on the first guy and missed smh

hey at least i got opthalmascope, terragroup apartment key and a lvl33 and 44 dogtag in my alpha

[flat osprey]

also idk if yk but take sights off bot pmc's if they spawn

[fiery moat]

yea i strip good attachments if i dont take the gun

sometimes i dont wanna take a bolt action so i just take the suppressor and scope, sometimes even the ammo if its good

dude,wait,that dude had a korund vm with high durability how did i kill him on thorax with 26 pen bullet

and yea 40 min raid i was just sitting in a corner and chatting on discord and watching yt all along

[kindred grotto]

12B can onetap killa

best round and gun imo

ash 12 i mean

[fiery moat]

i thought u was chasing shadow of tagilla with lvl6, i mean fair enough 12b can onetap killas lvl4 helmet

[reef mist]

yo can anyone help me i am broke and low level

[fiery moat]

is luger cci decent? i just started crafting it to use when i start using 9mms again, i always runned pst cuz that was what i could buy

[mellow matrix]

its for leg meta

[flat osprey]

good for leg shots i think]

[fiery moat]

i mean ofc ima go leg with 10 pen 70dmg but is it good enough to at least have a feeling of RIP

i used to just shoot ppls faces with 20 pen pst and often succeeded(or died if it wasnt a face shot or it was a tagilla helmet)

[mellow matrix]

i think you'd be better off with rifle caliber leg meta ammo but it should do the job in a high RPM gun

[fiery moat]

yea im thinking of mp9n but may use mpx too, is 7.62 HP with 80dmg also good?

[mellow matrix]

like 5.56 HP or warmageddon for 2$ a piece with an M16A1/M4 it hits pretty good

[fiery moat]

i can also run ultra nosier but i mean, if ima buy a .308 caliber gun i just wanna use m80

[mellow matrix]

if you cant get any AP ammo

[flat osprey]

or just get headshots 😎

lol

[fiery moat]

.

most of my outgunned fight wins were just face or ear hits with pst

[flat osprey]

altyn/rys-t/tagilla/killa helmets are the only ones that would block a face shot

[mellow matrix]

and most other visors

if its PST that is

[flat osprey]

unless they have that lvl2 face shield and you have <20 pen ammo

[fiery moat]

yea visors and tagilla helmet dudes, they stopped me from my killstreak with mpx. i legit had a "lucky mpx" that i modded so wrong and ugly(rotor suppressor instead of normal mpx supp and some weird ahh scope) that had 12 kill streak before i retired it cuz it was just so low in durability

[mellow matrix]

yeah thats another thing, if you use luger CCI its not gonna go through those death shadow masks people seem to use a lot

and PST will

sometimes you wont be able to see their legs

[fiery moat]

i mean, its tarkov, no one is meant to win every gunfight, but i am one of those dudes that literally crawl under cars to munch toes when needed

[flat osprey]

that was a unique visual

[fiery moat]

woods, killed a dude, ran out of ammo with my m1a, grabbed that dudes aug, he literally had RRLP(10 pen around 70dmg) and another dude pushed me on emercom. i just crawled next to the ambulance and killed him from foot when he was on the other side of the ambulance

probably the best use of that weird ahh ammo that i could find

btw i liked ak-104 probably will be one of my frequently used guns after i unlock PS finally

[warped acorn]

labs is HvH on pvp bro

[mellow matrix]

When shooting legs its only 2 bullet difference to kill between pst and luger cci, its 7 rounds with luger (but 6 leaves them with basically no hp) and 9 with pst (8 elaves them with no hp). But Luger will black their leg with a single hit soooo

but then does it really matter with high firerate of 9x19? At the cost of not going through facemasks

u decide

[fiery moat]

soo not worth crafting, ill just take the current 180 pieces of luger that i am crafting and wont use it again

whats better for flesh dmg tho, buckshots? slugs? low caliber flesh ammo? high caliber flesh ammo? ofc im talking about cheap versions in each case, no .45ACP RIP but maybe hydrashok instead for comparison

just overall

i find buckshots just underwhelming compared to their stats on paper, even at such a close range i have a higher TTK than a 9mm

i use piranhas only on shotguns and aim exactly at throat-thorax level and they seem to provide best results for me

havent tried slugs much but was terrified with how much dmg a scav did from long range with a single shot

[mellow matrix]

i don't really use shotguns to be fair unless its AP-20 or Barrikada slugs so i cant say, they let me down too many times xD

but on paper one slug can have around 200 damage depending on type

so similar to hitting all of the pellets from a buckshot round

i think 7mm has like 25 damage and 8 pellets

[fiery moat]

35 dmg. the toz 20gauge buckshots have like 25 dmg

i think an express buckshot is like 335 dmg total

but even at 4 meters when i aim pretty well into legs it mostly takes more than 5 shots to kill

[mellow matrix]

ok u right, 39 even

[fiery moat]

while using piranhas i either onetap or just spam a few bullets as if i was using m61, and it somehow works

i dont believe piranha actually has only 24 pen

it feels way more

[mellow matrix]

might be that it deals high armor damage

there was an app to calculate that but i dont have it rn

[fiery moat]

only downside is that its 25 dmg per pellet so requires 2 hits to the face instead of 1 random lucky shot but i mean thats fair

[mellow matrix]

you could also run reserve

i just recently started and holy shit there is so much good 5.45 to be found

got 400 rounds of BP/BS from one run yesterday xD

[flat osprey]

farm any boss

tagilla gave me like 180 rounds of ppbs the other week

[hidden seal]

because each pellet has 24 and they eat armor very fast

[fiery moat]

usec camp on woods, one run i died with around 400 bullets of 5.45 bt/bp mixed along with 200 rounds of AP SX(53 pen mp7 ammo) and m61 and m62 tracer boxes. i just killed many dudes in there and fool me thought no one else could be there and got onetapped the moment i grabbed the last box of ammo

[hidden seal]

so you can pen level 4 if you hit 2 full salvoes

[fiery moat]

is flechette better at this

[hidden seal]

not sure... never tried much flechete

[flat osprey]

yes

flechete is the goat

ap-20 is highest pen but a slug

[hidden seal]

but piranha can handle more than the stats would imply .. at least close

[fiery moat]

best ammo i can use with jaeger ll2 and not having setup done is piranha i think

best 5.45 is ps, best 5.56 is sost, best 7.62 is ps(after i finish this punisher with 3 scav kills left) best 9mm is pst for me rn

the ones that i can buy or craft

those bullets just make me wanna be a legmeta dude

fym 28 pen is the highest i can get on my ak74

at prapor 3

[flat osprey]

ps ammo i assume?

[fiery moat]

well...

[flat osprey]

ah i am half playing half reading

[fiery moat]

can u tell me the quickest way i could have full access(not loot only) to any good ar ammo

[flat osprey]

tbh if youre willing to magdump thats prob only 4 shots to pen lvl 5

[fiery moat]

oh thats not that bad then

i thought it was somewhere around 20-25 bullets

[flat osprey]

nevermiind

[hidden seal]

problem if on that time the other guy is shootign as well

[flat osprey]

against a granit br4 (lvl 5 plate) it would take 8 to pen

use a ballistics calculator if you're ever curious

i found out that i was using a better ammo uselessly against shadow of tagilla

[dusty turtle]

how do i get the quest "to great heights"

[flat osprey]

for ex. BP 5.45 takes more bullets to pen than BS 5.45 against shadow of tagilla's zabey helmet

[fiery moat]

yes i still would rather use bp than ps ofc, but i thought 28 pen on lvl5 would be way way less effective

[hidden seal]

think you might need a few more, in WIKI there is a table

[flat osprey]

aiming at the neck is the best thing you can really do imo

[fiery moat]

isnt bs better in terms of pen?

[flat osprey]

oh shit ig so

i was going off how the ammo showed up in my inv search lmfao

bp shows up before bs

[fiery moat]

on almost all calibers if it says bs its prob the best or the second best i think, from all the bullets i've seen

i have some stacks of 7.62x54r bs, that thing is ridiculous, 72 dmg 70 pen, like tf, why does it have 70 pen

is there even a chance that an armor could block that

[flat osprey]

except for a slight chance of ricochet not rlly

[mellow matrix]

for 9x39 you could craft PAB-9 at 43 pen but u need to complete test drive pt1

[fiery moat]

i assume bullets having over 60 pen is to pen more layers right? cuz no other logical explanation when tier 6 is maximum and requires 60 pen

[fiery moat]

oh, ill do that then. i tried it once, got 1 kill with m1a 60 meters and never used the gun again cuz i cannot buy the scope and its only a few chances basically

now i need 9 more with sr-25 since quest has changed

i liked it more with m1a 60 meters 5 kill tbh it was easier

[mellow matrix]

im there with you, one kill in i lost the gun and didnt really bother with it since xD

but might have to do it

but getting the scope is the hard part since that one you can only get from lv35

[fiery moat]

and whats more horrifying is that part 2, i see everyone struggling with mp5sd i literally had like 10 of those mp5's lying around my stash before i sold them cuz i aint doing that god forsaken part 2

[wary wasp]

what lvl do you need to be to buy military power filters on the fleamarket?

[fiery moat]

i have 2. one that prapor gives at the beginning, other that i got from a guy that tried to do the quest, still keeping them on my weapon rack

[fiery moat]

i think 35

[mellow matrix]

also you can make BCP FMJ for .308 if you fancy battlerifles

its only like 20k for 60 rounds

[fiery moat]

yea i craft those often, i use it with m1a

lowkey not bad

3 eagles, how much are they

i have like 9 of them left

i use them often on crafting 5.56 sost

[mellow matrix]

36k rn but only from lv30

but i find them on scav runs a bit

[fiery moat]

so its close to 1k a bullet

[mellow matrix]

yea

[fiery moat]

better than 9x19 pbp tbh

i'd prob bring 60 into a raid with as val and bring a sidearm to not waste ammo on scavs

[tepid sleet]

do yu gus know the fastest way to 3 salewas :3

[hidden seal]

scav interchange outside all the medical tents

you likely to find them in 1 or 2 runs

[fiery moat]

ground zero emercom is probably your best bet if you need those for that early quest :( if u progressed a little and just delayed that quest then i suggest interchange as it has some good pharmacies and medical tents, also u can craft it from medstation

[mellow matrix]

also you could give the ks-23M Drozd a shot since you got prapor 3. You can buy barrikada slugs straight from him for cheap and they oneshot thorax through class4 armor. The gun you can barter but i dont think its particularly expensive

but its only 20 per reset so stock up

[tepid sleet]

ty

[fiery moat]

20? thats basically unlimited

[mellow matrix]

i also found a lot on woods medical base

but it can be busy

[fiery moat]

i can barter for M1A for 4 usb adapters, or add all those stuff and +1 usb adapter for ks23m. i think i choose m1a

[mellow matrix]

but the oneshots!

also now that i look at it its a bit more expensive than i thought but....i still like it xD

its like shooting a cannonball at someone

[fiery moat]

its probably close to a .338 sniper rifle for the price

[kindred grotto]

just use sharp 10 no?

[fiery moat]

how much is axmc is it like 400k

[kindred grotto]

230k after hunting trip

[fiery moat]

so probably cheaper than this shotgun with ll3 prapor barter

[mellow matrix]

but its far into the questlines

[fiery moat]

can also be bought on flea but 40lvl

[kindred grotto]

you can buy axmc on flea?

[tepid sleet]

are there any good methods for skier supplier quest?

[hidden seal]

just loot.. now notice you can loot with the scav.. doe snot need to be your pmc

[fiery moat]

it doesnt say banned from flea

[mellow matrix]

also we were talking about leg meta, i jsut remembered, .300BLK whisper has 90 flesh damage and its basically free from jaeger lv1

thats 5 hits to the leg and with MCX firerate

[fiery moat]

yea thats also nice but are the guns that use .300 expensive or not

[tepid sleet]

ik sorry if stupid question js supposed there would be good spots or sm

[mellow matrix]

or the .300 AK is 65k for new

[fiery moat]

lowk 45k ones seem like free especially since i have weapon repair kits

[fiery moat]

wait is there a .300 ak?

[mellow matrix]

yeah the weird looking supressed one

[hidden seal]

it is easy to fins anywhere are few items

[mellow matrix]

velociraptor

[hidden seal]

and follow logic you will nto find cosntruciton material in an office

[fiery moat]

oh didnt know it was an ak

[mellow matrix]

but its 600rpm like other aks, and mcx is 800

[fiery moat]

well u can and its pretty often especially with file cabinets

[fiery moat]

isnt that suppressed tho

[flat osprey]

the velociraptor is trash please dont use it unless you have a gun up to your head (like in the punisher quest)

[fiery moat]

i thought it was a good gun

[mellow matrix]

MCX with .300 whisper has a 0.3s TTK to the legs if you hit all ur shots

pretty crazy xD

[flat osprey]

just use an mcx or anything else

[tepid sleet]

👍🏼

[fiery moat]

i dont think it'd actually be 0.3 second TTK in a real fight tho, imagine u have that bullet and spray some dudes legs, imagine the gameplay itself, i dont think it'd be 0.3

[flat osprey]

ig the mcx is the only other gun rlly but its still better than the non-customizable velociraptor

[mellow matrix]

yeah thats in a perfect world if you hit everything

but on paper it is possible so it should be fast anyways

[kindred grotto]

mcx too expensive for that

just use a kedr or sum

[fiery moat]

btw is 600 and 650rpm on the 5.45 ak's bad or decent? especially compared to M4A1's 800rpm 5.56

[hidden seal]

yeah does nto make sense to expect perfect sprays

[fiery moat]

i mean i can switch from 5.45 to 7.62 ak since they just have same firerate

[hidden seal]

but like 50% is doable

[mellow matrix]

i like it, but technically you are at a disadventage compared to an m4

to me their biggest upsides are the availability of good ammo for 5.45 and the sexy looks

[fiery moat]

btw why is radian model 1 fa and custom nl545 just so expensive?

[mellow matrix]

especially since now they added the esmarch wrapped triangle stock i can make my stock afghan war AKS-74

got me through 7 reserve raids now

and 2x gluhar

not much recoil on it with that firerate, even stock

[mellow matrix]

the NL is in the meta now so thats prob why

and the radian i dont even know what that is xD

[fiery moat]

m4a1 "premium"

[mellow matrix]

well there you go, gucci

like the adar and tx-15, same thing but a few times the price

[fiery moat]

i dont even understand why its meta, its just a slightly worse m4a1 isnt it? a 5.45 gun with same firerate as 5.56 m4 costing more than twice

[fiery moat]

last time i checked i think it was around 2.5 million for stock ones liek damn 65k vs 2.5 mil????

[mellow matrix]

better m4a1, 5.45 ammo is very common to find and has very good stats now

[fiery moat]

its not even that different in stats too

[mellow matrix]

its only downside is that it feeds 650rpm aks

but here u got 800rpm

[mellow matrix]

u sure those were the guns?

tx is 75k and adar is 30k rn

[flat osprey]

i love getting an error that just says 0

or its fully written in russian

[mellow matrix]

its not for the western eyes to see

[flat osprey]

error code: nikita

[ivory trench]

does anyone know if i can lose items i put in special slots

when i die?can it be looted?

[mellow matrix]

you cant

[ivory trench]

like this cms kit cant be looted?

[mellow matrix]

nope

[ivory trench]

dope thanks

[fiery moat]

i was talking about m4a1 and radian fa dude not adar and tx lol

only difference is that it will lose found in raid status

once you enter a raid with it

[mellow matrix]

oh

[fiery moat]

oh and btw, is there actually a reason to pick adar/tx over an aug which is like 30k almost always

[unique linden]

how do I gift my freind eft and eft pve edition on steam

[mellow matrix]

yes, because fuck aug

[fiery moat]

why

[fiery moat]

isnt it just like gifting any other game?

[mellow matrix]

hate that gun, hate how it shoots, how it looks, the scope, everything about it

the A1 at least the modernized one idk really

[fiery moat]

well the scope looks goofy but gets the job done. and i also cannot find a difference between a1 and a3 except the size and color

[mellow matrix]

and seems like its quite uncontrollable , jumps side to side a lot

[fiery moat]

its 715rpm 5.56 gun that is cheap af, it is better than a 5.45 average ak

[unique linden]

it just says add to cart on standard edition and pve dlc it doesnt ask to gift but the other versions say I can gift them

[mellow matrix]

i'd say no because ammo

and if i wanna shoot 5.56 then theres the M16A1

or just an m4

[fiery moat]

oh idk about that,haven't tried. maybe give ur friend the 10 bucks via steam wallet code or any other way like just giving cash etc. i guess, if it cannot be gifted

[fiery moat]

we were comparing guns at 30k rouble range, why did u bring m4 and m16 they are like 3x the price

5.56 average bullet is just stronger bc its bigger and moves faster, and aug also shoots it faster and has similar other stats so aug is technically stronger than an average ak74m

[ivory trench]

is the sks bad?

[fiery moat]

its one of the best weapons that a beginner can get their hands on

the aks-74u and sks, they will be your best bets to take on better geared dudes

[ivory trench]

is it possible to put a scope on it if im pre 15?

[fiery moat]

i think most scopes unlock at lvl25 anyways not 15, and u can buy PSO scope for like 20k on prapor

[hidden seal]

as you do any steam games.. except if you are in a discount price region you cannot give it to a person on a full price region

[ivory trench]

and that doesnt require a mount or anything does it?

[hidden seal]

just put in your cart adn at checkout you can select as gift

[fiery moat]

it requires a dovetail for the PSO

OP-SKS has a built in dovetail afaik

u can see the dovetail mounts on the side of the gun

[mellow matrix]

Not really in tarkov, the stats dont really make a big difference between similar "tier" 5.56 and 5.45, and its MUCH easier to get good 5.45

the firerate sure, if you have good 5.56 in the first place but....if you will be using good ammo then why not pay 30k extra and get an m16

which btw almost always comes back from insurance so you buy a few of them and u set xD

[dapper epoch]

Have I missed something? A lot of red here

[fiery moat]

what ur tryna say is ak is easier to get good ammo, dont act like good 5.56 is unobtainable or smth, now imagine an ak74 and aug fighting with similar tier bullets. i still like the aug and its definitely very good for 30k, but wouldnt pay 55k or more

[mellow matrix]

to be honest good 5.56 has kinda been unobtainium for me this wipe

55a1 i got maybe 250 round the whole wipe

and as i said before, 400 BS/BP 5.45 from ONE reserve run

maybe you can count on 200ish on average

[fiery moat]

well that automatically makes m4a1 and m16 also bad then not just the poor aug

715rpm with built in 1.5x 5.56 assault rifle for 30k, yessir

[mellow matrix]

yeah, until you get good ammo for them

and its also why the NL is so expensive

you get to shoot easy to find high pen ammo at 800rpm

[fiery moat]

715rpm is still enough to legmeta when its almost 90 dmg a bullet tbh

SOST is also always available as long as u have eagle gunpowder, i think SOST can be considered as a good ammo too, not one of the best of course

[mellow matrix]

sure, but legmeta = magdump, and the aug has a lot of horizontal recoil if you shoot full auto like that

[fiery moat]

i havent really faced any serious recoil with aug, i find m4a1's recoil like 10x worse in comparison

[mellow matrix]

at least thats how it felt to me, idk, you cannot convince me, maybe im biased but i REALLY dislike the AUG

oh and its also a bullpup so theres that, not sexy

[fiery moat]

fair enough for disliking the aug but i feel like u dislike the wrong part of it. its recoil is not bad- even really good compared to other 5.56 guns- and remember, price is very important. built in 1.5x, 715rpm, 5.56 ammo, not heavy or anything too, but it severely lacks modularity thats the problem

like u cannot even detach the 1.5x and put any other scope in raid

[hidden seal]

A3 is far better than A1

[fiery moat]

why is it FAR better tho? is there a really distinct difference?

[hidden seal]

you can detach the standard aim and put normal attachments

and it has a bit less recoil

[fiery moat]

can u do it in raid? like finding a reflex sight and switching the scope? thats not the case with a1

[mystic anchor]

My game looks horrible at medium to long distances, like i can make the diference between a man and a a tree in ground zero

[hidden seal]

never tried tbh. But think yes

you have a cover that has standard picanttii rails

[fiery moat]

if its yes its a big point for a3 cuz a1's scope cannot be removed in raid literally no matter what scope-rail-anything u have in ur backpack

[mellow matrix]

not if you have the stock scope on it

[fiery moat]

oh so its the same

[mellow matrix]

if you replaced it with a rail before then you can

[hidden seal]

jsut remove the stock and put the sover with the picanti rail then you can change anythign as any modular rifle

[fiery moat]

yea so a3 is just smaller,a little less recoil and has a cooler color

[hidden seal]

It also has space for an Under rail as well

[unkempt hazel]

Hi guys, i am searching for information about the quest accidental witness, how can i find the key to the appartement ?

[hidden seal]

I used aug A3 for like half my kills on PVE .. the ergnonomics very high

[fiery moat]

idk about anything but i think ima really try to main ak-103 and 104 while using dovetails, i kinda enjoyed them

[mellow matrix]

so just loot until you get lucky

[unkempt hazel]

I got one from the flea but i cannot open the door i don t know why

[mellow matrix]

u sure its the right key?

and this door

[unkempt hazel]

the door i think so, its behind the vet ?

Close to the marked

[mystic anchor]

I started playing a week ago and dont understand a lot how the config works

[mellow matrix]

idk i havent done it yet, going off of wiki, but theres the entrance to the building

and the door ive sent, should work....

[unkempt hazel]

Its not this one ?

[crimson thicket]

No

That door does not open

[unkempt hazel]

Maybe i goy to the wrong door

[crimson thicket]

Scouter posted the correct building / door

[unkempt hazel]

okayyy

Where is this door ?

[crimson thicket]

It's kind of behind chek 15 building if my memory serves

[unkempt hazel]

okayyy thanks a lot !

[mellow matrix]

np

[mellow matrix]

one of my favorite guns too

except i cant get good ammo yet xD

but eventually

[fiery moat]

i will just load them with ps and wont care about anything else

or maybe HP

80dmg is not bad but not the best legmeta especially for 7.62x39

[mellow matrix]

yeah

[fiery moat]

i mean they are just pretty good overall. more towards medium-long range but can still work in close range

600-650rpm but hits hard anyways

and they work even up to 200 meters and longer with ease

an ar and a dmr two in one pack for cheap

i like that cheap 10k scope 2.8x

30k ak 10k scope and i have myself a dmr and an assault rifle at the same time

[mellow matrix]

2.8x?

NO YOU DIDNT

is that the weird one with green dot from the top

or a triangle rather

oh no it isnt, its 4x

i see now, to be fair i havent used it a single time

because PSO exists

but it looks alright

[fiery moat]

yea thats the tyulpan

the one im talking about looks like a pso or 1p59/1p69 for the reticle

but its soo small its smaller than some red dots

10k on flea and around 2.3k for the rail, trust me, its actually well worth the price

its more comfortable than u think

[stone summit]

i have 3 found in raid guns yet i cant turn them into mechanic for the tour quest, when i talk to him in dont get the prompt to turn them in

[fiery moat]

that straight up must be some sort of bug cuz that normally shouldnt happen. are you sure that the guns' found in raid status are glowing yellow?

like saying "this item is found in raid for the quest tour"

[stone summit]

all 3 do, and ive restarted my game

[fiery moat]

the option doesnt appear when u visit him? istg thats just strange and no explanation

[stone summit]

i can only ask for a gun fact lol

when ever i disassmble one it says i have 1/2

when theyre all disassmbled its says 0/2

when none are its also 0/2

[fiery moat]

can u screenshot the guns im just so curious rn

maybe 2 guns are bugged and only 1 works? scav in and quickly get out with the scav gun and turn it in maybe

[fiery moat]

wait,durability? have u checked it?

[stone summit]

none of them have have non fir things too

[fiery moat]

i think below 60 durability would cause a problem

[stone summit]

all 80+ the sks is at 99

[fiery moat]

only solution u have left is this one probably

disassemble that one gun that works 1/2

play one match as a scav and immediately extract

i recommend ground zero or factory just in case

these 2 maps often spawn you next to your extracts

[stone summit]

i guess the tagilla shotgun was bugged

after i disassembled that and i could do the quest

[ivory trench]

what do i do

when i have absolutely 0 money and 0 kit?

like do i just not play anymore?

[mellow matrix]

run your scav

[hidden seal]

SCAV

you shoudl e running a lot more scav clearly

liek as soon as you felt low on resources you shoudl ahve started running 1 scav run after each PMC attempt

[ivory trench]

i run my scav, die on scav to other scav players cause and now im here

[odd blade]

I highly recommend doing reserve, if you can get to the knights theres 1 million filing cabinets and its very chill and easy

the pawns are very good for duffel loot as well with some grenade and ammo spawns

I run a really fast route personally when im trying to get some quick cash on factory, theres a couple dead scavs/pmc bodies, toolboxes, and duffels you can loot completely away from where people are farming scav kills, I run the clock down to 1-2 minutes and leave since you spawna round 8~ minutes left anyways. 6 minutes in and out 200-400k per run. since its so late nobody is there anymore, i just wait for them to leave before I exfil in the office and do the filing cabinets before leaving

[sharp plume]

what map

[hidden seal]

you will rarely rarely die to another scav

Like I was shot by a scav only once

just do not start a fight

[ivory trench]

ground zero

and to top it off, this fucking broken wall in my hideout is causing me to get all these debuffs but everytime i queue into a raid im dead, even when i rat till bout 5 mins to leave

[sharp plume]

you probably going to hotspots then or you're running around too much

[hidden seal]

in GZ you do not need to rat.. move bellow ground and inside buildings and listen

if you go on main street.. yes ther eyou die very fast

[stoic glacier]

help me unlock labs https://discord.com/channels/521608697764380694/1465152129864962201

[full rain]

i feel ya man, i think ive died twice more than survived at this point, persevere and one day youll find a juicy man un looted 😄

and immediately lose it all next raid as is tradition

[neat plinth]

well they werent very friendly about it, but I pulled off my first scav assisted extract. had to keep healing the whole time, luck me dude only had a pistol

[flat osprey]

best way to lvl up fence to 5.0? V-ex's are now only giving me .01, so i figure its barely worth it anymore (im at 4.86)

ik extracting as a scav gives me .01

this lowkey sucks cause i did scav runs when i was new, couldnt tell a pmc from a scav and dropped my rep to -.1 or somethin

[wraith edge]

good resources on what scav junk to keep and what to sell? I've got 4 full junk boxes and my stash space is struggling

[flat osprey]

look up what you have a lot of on the wiki. see how many you need for xyz tasks.

so like i think you need 3 ledex's total

[light pagoda]

coop extract?

[mellow matrix]

i mean if you are at 4.86

then you are 97% done, jsut run the scavs xD

[flat osprey]

but then i gotta hit 6.0, which im not excited for

100 scav runs or 100 v-ex's 😭

[mellow matrix]

yeah...

daily tasks from fence will give you a tiny bit

[flat osprey]

Ur right, .04 for that

[mellow matrix]

and you have used all of the vehicle extracts right

[flat osprey]

i wish 'is this a reference' gave me like .2 or somethin

[flat osprey]

yes i have

gnd zero, streets, lighthouse, customs, shoreline, woods, i dont think theres any more

[mellow matrix]

have you done coop extracts on every map?

gives you 0.25 i think

for the first one

[flat osprey]

sadly pve but i theoretically might be able to pull it off

[mellow matrix]

absolutely

[flat osprey]

my friend saw it done before

[mellow matrix]

the scavs now rush to you if you shoot and throw smokes

sooo get a good armor and helmet just in case and try to lure some ai into the extract maybe xD

might be worth the time, its the equivalent of 25 raids

[flat osprey]

If i can manage that im clipping it 😂

Yea def worth if there is a scav around those coop extracts

wish that i could like drop something to a scav and become their friend

[mellow matrix]

on streets i heard theres scavs near it

maybe reserve would be okay too

they wander around there sometimes

[flat osprey]

I have to throw a smoke tho?

or do nades work

[mellow matrix]

probably not but its supposed to attract them and lasts a long time so

and they are so cheap

otherwise shoot around a bit too

that for sure helps

[flat osprey]

yea the only other way is like sitting on factory, hear shooting, wait for scav to die, kill their killer

just got .05 from doing that, not bad

[mellow matrix]

not bad indeed

[flat osprey]

that kind of reminds me, even tho pmc's wont go to the coop extract, i damn near followed one to the outskirts extract when i was super new

wish i could just voice line " yo lets chill" 😭 "come to coop with me"

[ancient pilot]

isn't there a flare that makes scavs friendly?

[dense steeple]

can i turn battle pass points into gp coins and if so how

[mellow matrix]

there used to be one

super rare poison green

but idk if its still in the game

[obtuse plume]

is anybody able to help me do the delivery from the past quest?

[light pagoda]

#pvp-lfg #pve-lfg

[ivory trench]

if i die to a player scav and look at their profile in game where they show me the player, is that their scav outfit or there pmc outfit?

[astral glen]

It shows their PMC

[cyan apex]

id

[cyan apex]

no

[obtuse plume]

?

[cyan apex]

ingame name so i can add u

[obtuse plume]

kyle123four

[cyan apex]

check dm

[compact gate]

Is it good using 556 ammo in trader level 2? Or should i wait until peacekeeper lvl 4?

[ivory trench]

can i do any quests as a scav?

[sharp plume]

only some fence quests

[ivory trench]

damn

[unique geyser]

Most level 2 ammo in traders is bad outside of a few that are mostly for DMR's/Battle Rifles/Bolts.

You can farm good ammo though on map like reserve

SOST is bare minimum for 5.56 AFAIK, M856A1 Is preferred and above.

[compact gate]

So the only option at my level is to farm ammo from reserve? And avoid pvp?

[unique geyser]

Nah there is still good leg meta ammo for other weapons in low traders, just look for very high flesh damage and weapons with high RPM, Smgs are king for this, all Ammo one shots in head, leg meta is wild with the high flesh damage low tier ammos

mp7/mp9 are accessible in cost, easy to mod and amazing RPM, Uzi is also available in Prapor I think without Flea, just stick normal mag/w/e mods you want.

if you have ammo that can pen armor lvl 2 and does decent flesh damage though, any high RPM weapon is good vs face/legs, death shadow can't tank lvl 2 more than one shot if lucky. SMG's are just preferred cos cheap, easy to mod, cheap ammo, zero recoil on most of them.

[compact gate]

Nice well noted ill try this

[unique geyser]

I am late to wipe but experienced player, I leg meta a bunch of level 40-50's in full lvl 5-6 armor already

The tilt on them must be real

PP-19, the first SMG u get, universally called a F tier weapon

High RPM though+leg meta xd

Also

Look into the VSK-94, it is a battle rifle

You can get ammo that is called SP-5 from Prapor and the gun, it does very high flesh damaeg for a 3 pen ammo, means you can violate scavs anywhere without needing to headshot them and it is strong vs pmc's with leg meta/headshots.

[twilit python]

is vpx expensive? i got one on my scav

[unique geyser]

100k

[twilit python]

so yes, okay thank you

omfg i called it

i got a ledx first box

jesus crist

YES LVAND MARK YES BRO

that same box he got 2 ledxs in

[unique geyser]

what map?

[twilit python]

the coustoms box

[unique geyser]

I am not sure which specific one you mean, I didn't update my loot knowledge with the customs expansion

There was no LEDX AFAIK before that so must be part of the expansion

[twilit python]

and i died to fucking bleeding

some fuck ass player scav shot my leg and i died to bleeding

like this game i swear to god

[flat osprey]

is lvl 50 elite level?

or is it 51

For skills srry

[twilit python]

if it isent one thing with this game its another

( the only found in raid ledx im going to find btw )

[flat osprey]

run labs

youll find it

blue room has a few spawns, green room has a spawn or 2, can spawn in black observation room, prob in more places too

[ivory trench]

so armbands dont do anything right, so i can sell this?

[astral glen]

You need this one for the collector

[flat osprey]

Kappa case

[ivory trench]

do i care for collector atm if im level 12 lol

[flat osprey]

you will if you cant find it later!!

[astral glen]

You will when you finally get there and this is the last item you need

[ivory trench]

thats true

LOL

[flat osprey]

I left the drd armor multiple times

I ran factory 50 times to get it

biggest regret i have

[obtuse plume]

Anyone on Australia or New Zealand servers able to help me with delivery from the past?

[ivory trench]

yall think a mosin or a smg is beter to take into GZ?

this would be the gun, is it even any good?

[slender plover]

any streets chad around?

[cursive prawn]

what do you need to know

[slender plover]

well more looking for someone to que it with me in pvp

and show me the ropes

[twilit python]

and then of course the next raid the first corner i go around i get auto gled by some fucking scav

like wtf, how can you even make these spawns

[ivory trench]

yeah this games is terribly brutal, i kid you not i played for 9 hours today, and truthfully think i had 1 pmc extract

i lost all mine money, and was left with 6k roubles

im so fucking ass at this game, which is odd cause im usually good at fps' so idk what it is

[twilit python]

oh nice, now i just cant leave this menu.... like HOLY FUCK BSG

[obtuse plume]

same

[twilit python]

WHAT DID I SAY

[undone drum]

ur good at aiming propably
but bad at positioning and decision making
Remember to record and post here to see what u do wrong

[ivory trench]

yeah LOL thats how i felt, feels like i die new ways every raid, the worst was by far this random trap door on gz, that was when i was like the devs just want to mentally torment the playerrbase, especially new palyers

[ivory trench]

yup, dw i streamed lots of footage of me dying today lol, need to go through all of it and find some to share

[torn rapids]

cause there's more to this game than just clicking heads

Map knowledge can keep you alive a lot more

[ivory trench]

ive heard this a lot, but it feels like the ways i die, are rarely map knowledge related imo at least

[torn rapids]

Knowing how players flow around the map is really important

[ivory trench]

this makes lots of sense tho yeah

[torn rapids]

If you look at it from the perspective of, the enemy knows where you are because they have better map knowledge than you

[ivory trench]

my usual pattern has alwasy been spawn, go to closest loot building, loot, then stay frozen in time until last 10 mins when everyoens extracted. im terrfied of leaving the building im in cause i just dont know where anyone is

[torn rapids]

For example take Customs, there's two spawns. One at the Shoreline transit and one at the broken grey fence. Both those players are likely to go to Dorms

3rd story is more popular

So the players at the shoreline transit can run past 3rd story to meet that other player

[torn rapids]

That's the problem if you sit still for too long imo. Cause I get that too when I'm solo

You just need to keep moving, if you stay in an area for too long it gives time for other players to rotate to you

[ivory trench]

Yeah, I’ve found that to happen a lot that’s a good point

[torn rapids]

Like Customs again, if you spawn at the checkpoint and you loot green screen and wait in there

the players who spawned at big red are on their way to you because they need to extract there and they'll be looting green screen too

but you have no info on those players since you waited all raid

But if you had pushed up to New Gas, you might've heard them take a fight at Skeleton

[ivory trench]

Yup that’s honestly v true, what would your rotation be then? Let’s say theoretically you spawned green screen, do you take a right and go to dorms

After you loot green screen?

[torn rapids]

It would really depend on what I would like to get done. If I don't have any quests at dorms and I don't need to go there, I would probably go up and take the train tracks to Old Gas, then go to Stronghold

If I don't need to be at dorms, I avoid it like the plauge

[ivory trench]

Okay that’s good to know but feels like stronghold is just as brutal

[torn rapids]

Yeah, Stronghold is tough but it's relatively open, there's only a few rooms you need to clear

And if you're approaching from old gas then you can just go straight to the top top

But yeah, a lot of this game is understanding POIs and how players move through the map

And thinking about stuff you did/do

[ivory trench]

Yeah feel like I’m not thinking enough

I’m just goin and hoping for the best

[undone drum]

Try to predict

while staying unpredictable
