the wiki shows what mods can go on X gun
Ty
Oo neat
Greatvway to learn
Thanks!
also adar best rifle
Hello, is the SA-58 in a good spot right now and a good gun?
What are the strength of this weapon?
ah I see
Large penetration, huge damage
id build it for recoil
maybe gonna try it out
need a build?
The cheapest in the store is 85k
can you send me a good bild? Which fits to the current patch
yes
ty mate
kk
I think about 70k
well that is not that much lol
also that drum mag is not neccesary
How far are y ou
nice thank u
Why are there no Gamma/betta... containers in the flea market?
Can anyone tell me where/how the M14 DCSB mount attaches to the M1A?
@white torrent Why are there no Gamma/betta... containers in the flea market, do u know?
@frosty skiff From what I read on google, they removed those being tradable, although I'm still relatively new to the game so I dunno if I'm missing something as well
I know it likes making me its B***h
I might be able to help, do you know where you're going to look for it?
yea
I'm in a call with a friend, but if you want I can add you to it
ok
Uh, question. If I lucked out in a lab raid and got an AK worth more than my entire stash... How do I defeat the mighty gear-fear?
Is it worth it to say fuck it, or is the more sensible option the way to go?
As in, stashing it for when I have enough to not get heartburn when I lose it
What are the best headphone, comtack things
if I want to hear squirrels fart on mars?
Go out and live or die with it EZ from my experience it's the best way to conquer the gear fear.
Also remember since its beta you will lose everything on a wipe regardless may as well have fun with the gear you have
@lunar mica it's all personal preference I hate all of them equally but most people I play with prefer the comtacs
I like them too
@pure pivot i used to hate them, then i visited factory for a few days
how much is the Upgrade to EU version ?
@scarlet breach like other to Europe itโs like 15 bucks iirc
@frosty skiff peacekeeper sells beta containers for the other two you just ask around
So I got the CAA RS47 to use the grip I looted in the last run on the AK I looted in the same run, and the wiki says I can put scopes on it. But I don't see the Cobra that I have in the list
What did I goof at?
(I know it's heinous, I have no idea what I'm doing as of yet)
Prapor has the Kobra sight that has the dovetail. Or you can a dovetail mount and put any sight on
Oh
Hmm, no dovetail
I'm guessing that goes on the grip, and then the sight goes on that?
You can put the sight up there or you can a tt1000 mount a rail for the dust cover
And put anything on
Yeah, that's where I'm looking
The cobra is not on the list
ingame that is
I click on the sight slot and it's empty
Kobra
You can use that
Wait
What
The cobra sight goes
Oh man I'm so dumb
I had no idea the sight goes back there
Thereโs multiple things called cobra (smart I know)
Thereโs that that had the dovetail on
Yep, thats the one I was struggling for a long while
You can also buy a dust cover mount for the AK (from Skier I think) to put sights on
Because I didn't know it's slot is back around the stock
But yeah the dovetail is used on a whole host of weapons
And I got the dust cover thinking that's the issue but it's not compatible with the stuff that has the grip on
Man I'm going to waste so much money 'till I learn the modding system lol

Just use the wiki and you can see what mounts are compatible with sights/rails/guns etc.
Shows what mods go on the gun
But uh... Yeah. I still didn't understand what slot the sight went on 
I'm too used to baby's first weapon modding stuff like R6S
Click button get thing 
One more thing, what's the deal with headsets? Are they any good?
I looted one in interchange and tried it but I figured it'd be more of a weirdout than a benefit with how things sounded
It really depends I hardly use them unless Im going on a sweaty run my preferred are Sordins, but if I have Tactical Sports I use those
Comtacs are garbage dont use them
Not using them forever and then using the sounds are too different imo
You should honestly not use them until your familiar with sound placements
Aight
Comtacs are fairly bassy and just blow a lot of other sounds out of proportion / GSHs and Sordins are virtually the same with a good mix of deafening sounds that are ambient (Sordins are little heavier sounding imho) / and Tac Sports honestly just make everything sound better
@boreal lotus thats how your sight was mounted if you were still unsure
Yep, figured it out by now
Thanks!
and aight
I might grab myself the tacsports once I get a bit used to unusual floor walking sounds
Nice
Hey so if any newbie wants to group up with me and Nameless Midnight for some lab runs hmu
I know this isn't LFG but figured
Newbie network
how do I get a bigger container
@river seal either from peacekeeper 4 or doing the punisher tasks from prapor
or buying a better game version
?
I don't have problem there
You just have to know where are the spawns
With practice you can even tell if someone spawned close to you, specially if you are in group
(I play Factory a lot)
is there no way to cancle animation?
If using meds press either mouse button to cancel, but takes 3 seconds
the dumepst shit kills me in the first 5 minutes into raid
i think i give it up last few days showed me that im to dump for this game
always going in full gear dying in the first 5 minutes is kinda depressing
Andi ts not like im playing factory or any kind of CQ map... I play shoreline and 5 mins in i have already a fire fight i have no chance at
kinda a rant sorry for that ๐ถ
Yes a lot of games have a steep learning curve, but with EFT it is more like a brick wall lol
Map knowledge is by far the most important thing here
offline raids help a ton. Start with one map (I started with factories, then did customs, then interchange) and learn scav routes, etc. Once you know where to expect scavs, the amount of enemies that can surprise you is reduced drastically. As well, if you know scav "patrols" (they aren't always specific, but at least where you can expect them) you know safer routes of travel and what hotspots to watch out for
yeah if I could learn how not to be shot by a dude sitting in a bush witha silence m4 when I spawn in that would b great but it isnโt covered in my player handbook
so basically the game is busted
Iโm going back to minecraft
Had a question for shoreline, is there any way to access the two weapon crates and the safe in the gas station without burning yourself?
You can sometimes glitch through the fire without taking damage but to my knowledge no your kinda supposed to get hit, you cant even break and jump through the window
Ok, I was just wondering if I was missing something or not
Honestly as for a new player, you really have to get out of the concept of gear fear and understanding this game isn't run and gun. Youtubers make it look a little easy but they've also been playing for a couple years now and most are highlights from the real stream. On live, they literally have the same experience you do. Watch DeadlySlobs death montage
If I upgrade my account ( buy new edition ) will I have to restart my character?
hmm idk man , rn I have money only for POE
you have eod?
id assume uve got standard
if you like it take the jump to eod
im probably gonna build my way up
first POE then EOD
but I think I saw somewhere that you can get better containers ingame?
without upgrading
you can buy alpha and betas from peacekeeper and get the Epsilon from prapor after the punsher task line
is there any chart that shows all containers ingame?
alpha beta epsilon gamma kappa
So there is no way of getting gamma and kappa ingame?
np m8
Damn I just read that I need to reset my account if I purchase other editions
The additions get added, I didnt have to reset, upgraded to EOD a week ago
idk if they changed it but when i upgraded i had to reset account to get it
damn, now wth if the correct answer
You only need to reset now if it was a trial account and you want the upgraded stash etc. From a purchased copy you don't need to reset
They send you the items to your messenger
hello there
somebody wants to buy me a Mesa Tactical magazine clamp for M870 from mechanic lvl 2? I'm only lvl 1. would be awesome
flea market got nothing?
nope
thank you ๐
๐
yes thanks a lot
๐
What is the best 9x19 round for the MPX?
sorry to interupt but why the hell I cannot put PU scope on mosin? I have that mount for mosin also
Do you have the right mount for the scope?
god damn
the modding is so confusing
every little thing I need to consult internet
Takes time
ik but the game should explain it
not internet
I have never played a game that explains so little
is there any player that completed quest without looking on how to
It is a beta tho
ik
right click the item you want to use
but cmoon
and press linked items
Maybe it will be better with full release
it shows everything you can use with it
they do if you know how to work around it
like to find mounts for hand guard you link search the handguard
hopefully that will also come with Linked Search
IS there a good way to mod an MPX?
mpx really just a grip sight and suppressor
@stray mantle every quest description tells you what to do. But most times you have to think for a moment or search for the right spot. If you just want to complete them > wiki
Hello, is ReShade program allowed?
Yes it is @peak sail
Is there any official statement about it?
No but it has been asked before and answered on the forums. I also know of a few streamers that use it, Worrun_TV is one of them, so it is 100% allowed at this time, if they change their mind they will let us know.
No idea on that I'm afraid, I don't like it lol ๐
i plan to use it because i have hard time to spot people, while my teammates spot them right away even in the dark
Hey guys, I am a new player (lvl 21) and I was wondering how I should go about finding someone to play with
@thorny burrow there are some look for group channels on here and the forums, also some clans looking for players. Where abouts are you from?
OCE
Oh that may be difficult, I don't know of many that way sorry
If I find a group I will let you know ๐
Okay thank you!
@thorny burrow Here are a few guys, could be a good place to start - https://forum.escapefromtarkov.com/topic/91333-new-player-lfg-australia/
@rose echo Cheers
np
Oh here you go @thorny burrow this is an EFT OCE Discord - https://discord.gg/RmhBzua
@rose echo oh thanks so much man
No worries ๐
How long does it take insurance to go through if your stuff hasnt been taken?
24-36 hours if you insured with prapor and 12-24 hours if you insured with therapist
Will any sherpa be available to just tag along and teach me some of that good stuff in say, an hour and a half?
I have time if you need help
Yeh, I defo do
My runs today have been nothing so far but meet one, maybe two scav, then try to be sneaky only to drop dead, no sound, no nothing
Well, that happens sometimes.
Whats your server region and which languages you speak?
Yeh, it do be like that I'm guessin
EU, English
got stuff to do for the next hour or so but I'll be back at it after that
Ping me when you are back
Awesome, thanks man
I might tag along too if you dont mind
Dope, double sherpas, double learnin'!
@neat grove your mother tongue is english right?
Maybe you do it then. Probably easier to communicate then ^^
alright
good 100k-150k full loadouts? (including everything)
Aighty, well if any sherpas are up, I'm good to go
@median ridge depends on your trader level and play style
fm and all traders are 2 besides mech
I play customs and interchange the most, open to any style besides mosin not good with single shot
I mean the way you play
or which kind of weapons you prefer
are you playing slow or do you sprint around a lot
do you prefer assault rifles or shotguns
ect
i prefer any rifles, smgs and i do a mix of sprinting and sneaking, depends on the situation... best expriences have been with the mp7, 545 aks 556 aks.. most first person shooters tho I rock heavy full auto brs like the FAL and the SCAR H, but in tarkov those arent cheap
then i would say take the 6b5-16 rig from rag2
and then any weapon you prefer with a sight
@median ridge the most average loadout that can handle anything:
- AKM
- 3 mags x30
- PS rounds
- kirasa class 3 vest
- facemask if you play usec beacuse no one can bear looking at that ugly face
for example you could use a ak74n and mod it with a b10m and a rk1 foregrip
then maype a pt3 stock and you got a decent gun
added a bit more info
If you're willing to adjust, an OP-SKS with a PSO scope is cheap and flexible
@median ridge also using semi auto fire is better, saves ammo and hits more.
And if you're in a point-blank pinch, you can still hipfire spam the SKS
and I consider mods superficial toys. Learn to use an AKM on semi auto without any mods and you will learn to handle any situation
probably gonna go with something like this
@median ridge I'd bring binded meds in your rig
A car is more than enough and saves time
Any other beginners wanna group up?
and you have the money for painkillers
@charred bough how old are you?
@neat grove @simple pendant So are you guys up for a bit of raidin in say, 10 minutes?
Sure
Is anyone interested in grouping up?
what region you from timing?
US
UK here :\
Hey guys, when the devs do wipes do they take away character XP and your status with the traders? Roughly how often do they wipe?
@coral pollen everything is wiped
Cool, gotcha. Thanks guys good to know.
The maps that are not available.... are they just level locked or not released yet? I thought Iโve seen people posting about labs but I canโt play it
Aighty, I'll be in helping newbs
Go to sherpa waiting room
Ahhh I probs had scav picked, makes sense thnx
what is better: AK-74M or AKS-74N ?
74m has better base stats by a lot
fully modded is ak74m slightly better with horizontal recoil and better accuracy and ak74n slightly better vertical recoil
On the flea market what does the little blue up arrow with a number next to it mean?
Yeah
Oh alright
only affects how much one can put up at once
it goes down when ur item doesnt sell
I see
np m8
Question for some folks here, I'm debating offering some "sniper training" in EFT. Would anyone be intrested in taking a 1-2 raid "class" on long range engagements?
man you really like sniping
Yee
Mmm that one is from the Spine to outskirts iirc...
I've got a 618m kill on vid from a similar location.
Shoreline tower to the village
light house to vil, is like... 930 something iirc. I've not been on shoreline this much patch, but I don't think people camp tunnel extract any more lol Least not from there
Yee, they make good targets
Ha
For a lot of newer shooters I suggest using scav island as a hide and watching for those campers. Easy 200m head shots. for "shooter born in heaven"
I think my max is like 150 or so
My best was resort to gas station
With an m1a with an acog
that's a solid shot, like 550+ . lemme check
480 from edge of resort to the gas pumps.
I could use some tips for basic snipers that's not too expensive and good to start sniping with, any tips?
Well Do you like to move often or would you like to set up in a hide ?
ehh easier questiom
Mosin or SKS for your primary?
Canโt beat a tapco and a canted backup
It is hard to beat, And is a bit more flexable. but when starting out I'm a fan of forcing people to pick their shots wisely by limiting the ammo they can bring in a raid.
Gotta dust off the ol' brain cogs a bit.
I like both the mosin and SKS but i find myself more effective with the mosin
Alright. So some tips of using the PU scope for long range engagements.
When aiming, instead of using "the very tip" of your reticle for your point of aim, zero FURTHER than what your shooting at , and hold a bit lower.
So for instance, if I'm shooting at a 200m target with a PU scope, I will zero to 250, and if I'm going for a head shot, I will hold at the gent's collar bone. because it's easier to visualize in my mind. but since I know my POI shift between 200 and 250 I know my round should hit him in the nose. This also lets me visualize that distance so I can shoot through smaller loop holes or if he takes cover.
Tower I bet you wish there was wind lol
I do.
maybe eventually
How do i change zeroing distance btw?
Earth rotation yet
I'll grab an SC of the mosin and send it to you MS, about walkers and such as well. runners are hard af to hit due to frame rate, desync and a bunch of other issues...
Page up
Page up page down.
Page down
while aiming
@split vapor We gonna start shooting over 1000m?
Thanks tower!
1000mm
No problem.
have fun with the fog
It's okay GTB, people wear sunglasses after all.
Itโs a beacon
Hey look --- a fucking blood sucker at 500m!
why use the pu scope for long range? wouldnยดt a greater magnification be better?
its all a preference thing
Bet it's good practice to get a spot with a view over a scav spawn and start practicing by shooting the scavs
sure, but over 150m i canยดt spot anything with pu
The overall draw distance needs majorly increased
~ 250 m dude dead on the 3 o'clock
@devout umbra Here is a great example of Lead of a walker . This round will hit him in the chest.
(about 200m iirc)
I see, I quess shoreline is one of the best maps to snipe?
it's not a bad one, but it requires a bit of understanding of how players move across that map. Woods is good ... but it's also popular for vet snipers like my group and we kinda pick on the new guys...
mmm If you want to get really good at rangeing targets teh VSS has such a narrow danger space it requires a stupid level of understanding to hit targets passed 125m (head shots)
Woods I just go to the rock thatโs above the lumber
Favriot target zone โค 512- 600m depending on where I'm sitting.
I see, would be lot's of fun to join a vet group, it's one thing to watch on youtube and another one to actually be ingame.
anyone else having the infinite loading screen before the main menu?
favorite**
I'm really not good at the game im only lvl 13 but im starting to get more serious in this game now since i realize it's great fun to actually spend time on this
@chilly skiff Happens sometimes, ~FPS 2 and check your net MS.
Ive uninstalled 3 times verified everything cleared cache and ran as admin and still no fix
@devout umbra it's a fun game to be sure, If you need anything shoot me a PM.
@chilly skiff Ooof, No idea then man. That's outside my realm of understanding as a player.
Might check with the tech support guys? they will at least be able to direct you to a good source I'd wager.
@reef spoke correction longet shot this patch 220.53
Still a solid shot for most people who don't play this game with a note book and pen.
from a iron sight mosin
impressive.
literal pixle hunting
RO2 lives on!
great game
it was โค I'd set up in sniper hides as an MG most games...
3-6 round burst at 200-400 yards on some maps.
you dont need accuarcy when ur belt is 200 rounds
but it makes that belt go a lot further
tarkov is ro2 but in 2016
I'd like to see 2 things from RO2 make it into tark. Weapon resting and Fatal bleeds. ( wounds that can't be patched such as fem arty's in the pelvis ect ect)
but with what direction the game is heading I doubt the second one will make it in....
put those sand bags to work
Heck, use a buddy in an urban hide to steady your weapon.
"WHAT?"
But yeah anyone who wants some "shooter born in heaven " help, give me a shout. ( or just long range shooting in tarkov 101 )
take my account and do it for me
i need help @reef spoke
both lmao
lol, Alright man When do you typically play? I tend to play week days after 19:00 est
FYI, current ballistics are really high drag compared to normal ballistics I read.
what
Any sniping will be a little obnoxious, but it will probably become a lot easier.
only thing there isnt wind yet
Someone on the forums/reddit had compiled a chart of how far bullet should have dropped with its given mass, and what it actually drops a while back. To summarize, it sounded like all bullets were calculated as having similar masses for calculating drag.
Where as the rifle rounds we use tend to have at least twice as much mass.
Ah, yeah.
I found it.
In short, the increased drag triples the expected bullet drop at medium ranges.
@rare imp It seems to work ona 50m zero but once you change the zero stuff starts getting funky again.
The top comment on this ballistics thread is nikita acknowledging that bullets actually have constant mass, and this is being updated.
To be short: When bullets are given their correct masses, bullet drop will be ~1/3rd of what we see now in many extreme cases.
I don't doubt your skill, just going off a thread that had a member of BSG confirm its findings.
The current estimation for the ballistics seems to be relatively accurate out to about 70 meters, going off the provided graph.
nah just adding to the convo, dude's right, but there is something else going on as well. because the numbers start to tail off at range.
Like if we zero for 300 and go for 500 based off the .07 BC numbers, we are way off.
My entire morning was people arguing with me about my advice for newer players.
Sorry, I am a little bit in defense of my finding modes.
No worries man, I feel that.
The sad thing was people kept giving conflicting advice to each otehr, and going after me instead of arguing with each other.
Or worse, conflicting with themselves.
People don't seem to get that there are multiple ways to play the game lol.
One guy litterally went "I don't think new players can offensively target end game players that effectively without luck, so they should carry ammo that is useful for self defense against end game players exclusively."
In my thread.
"Hey you might find this helpful" Gets bombarded with "Nooo"
. . .
-deep sigh-
Personally I think hunting end game players CAN be an effective way to start the game. But a rough one.
but for someone who is 100% new.. probably not wise.
( I see what you mean about the contradiction though)
My advice was to stockpile SKS's from corpses because they have a small inventory profile, and are guns that are more functional then their sell value. (PS ammo being preferred ammo early game, but T45M is a budget ammo you can use when moneys tight.)
That the vityaz with 9x19 PST gzh was cost effective for hunting scavs, and could rarely be used to ambush players whom are completely oblivious.
That the mosin is the more reliable way to actually kill armored players early on, but its rough.
The only thing I will argue on that is that the Mosin is only rough if you use the same playstyle with the SKS and Vit with it.
Otherwise I'd say that's pretty solid advice.
The reason why it is rough in my books is that many players starting off do not show proper fear and respect near a fresh corpse.
You may kill one guy, but geared players are often in squads.
Keep your hiding position, and wait until you are certain they don't have buddies.
But since new players have a hard time managing this typically.
More self defensy-scav hunting weapons remain my reccomendation.
Yee, I'll argue going in with a mosin and only 15 rounds makes smarter players quicker.
but like you said, for a broader group of people , what you suggested makes more sense
Really depends on the map.
I feel that on customs, there is very little advice that can make low gear players less prone to suicide.
Given its chokepoints making it easy to spawncamp.
And extractcamp.
I was gonna say lol, You give a new player a SKS and another a mosin .The Sks guy will do better in the short term, but the mosin will do better in the long run if he pays attention.
if the goal is to get out with loot and kills.
What you do is give a new player a list of weapons they should try to master, in order of easy to hard.
And that is how I structured things.
The vityaz is very cheap, controllable, and full auto: Its easy, but it has limits to what it can do, use it to loot SKS's.
Then use the reserve of SKS's to learn some marksmanship.
(Avoid using 5.45 until actually good 5.45 ammo unlocks, because all the LL1 and LL2 ammo is pretty bad.)
SKS is a really good option for beginners
Agreed.
sks is great
It is, but its price is starting to get kinda high.
Hence why I reccomend it as a gun that is priority loot to stockpile.
hence the vit. -nod nod-
if not a vepr is a good option too
OP SKS's cost as much as some of the full length AK-74's.
then the vytiaz
This makes them great newbie loot.
But not something I reccomend they buy.
Hell, the AK-101 is only a few thousand roubles more then the OP-SKS now.
2-3k more.
I think there should be a conversation about "rapid controled fire" vs " spam the mouse button !" Because a lot of folks seem to think they are the same thing.
I started this game few days ago and hit a jackpot today. Im afraid to use all this expensive stuff but my stash is getting full. Any tips how/which maps to play without losing it all asap?
Tarkov after midnights statistics shows that it takes on average 5 shots to kill someone when you are penetrating armor.
Question Eina: Is the armor badly damaged?
@last orbit If you don't use it you've already lost it. Just have fun with it while you can, If you can get it once, you can get it again.
Just play with PMs and get some gear (sks, vepr, etc) and do some scav runs for that too. Then use that gear. You'll leanr the game in the meantime and your stash will grow as well.
@last orbit If the armor is damaged, try to sell it, but use the gun at the very least.
Damaged armor is way less cost effective then people give it credit for.
Gen4 is 53/62
Hmk
But yeah @reef spoke Tarkov after midnight shows that it takes 5 or so penetrating hits to kill someone on average.
Nice. May you have many more @last orbit
๐
As such, when I round into CQC situations, I tend to try to fire a five round semi auto burst.
Then I fire another if that fails.
Not a bad though process, but I was more talking about the rythem in which people fire quickly.
Most people from what I see are simply clickign as fast as possible.
rather than a delibrate rythem.
EFT appears to use an FSRM mechanic.
pistols would be a good way to illistrate this but I'm lazy and have a kid to tend to.
It does but with how quiickly recoil settles you can put about 80% of the rounds ino a smaller target at the same rate as spamming at a larger target.
this could be the diff of gettin 5 chet shots vs 3 stomaches and 2 chest or worse.
Its largely a case of judging the range properly.
Yo guys whats in ur oppinion the best fal setup? Shall I use muzzle break or nah?
spam fire tends to end with target dead or you've ran dry as an early player
I tend to carry 150 rounds with any 30 round magazines.
@dusk charm What play style?
Most of it in loose ammo.
But I can never know when I am in a case where I have to lay down suppressing style fire.
I was more meaning mid fight with both guys still up due to misses or what have you @ Walrus
The only person whom doesn't suffer from ammo exhaustion on my experience is killa himself ๐
lulll
@reef spoke offensive clsoe/medium range
my SL doesnt either because im sitting there packing 095 rd drums for him XD
Admittedly... Killa loves to pop up, fire a 20 round burst and then just run into the aether.
@dusk charm fastextracts constanly moving? Go brake
Every killa encounter has him miss a lot of shots, then just vanish and run away.
killa just drop shots
In my experience.
I typically kill killa before he shoots at me -smug DVL-10 user smirk-
He hasn't shot me either.
He just shoots around me, then leaves.
And I don't know why.
@reef spoke thanks. Shall I put a laserpointer on it?
Always for CQC.
Is there some trick to using the sks/op-sks? I feel like I'm lining my shots up perfectly, but I have yet to get a single kill that isn't point blank
sks spam chest recoil for the head
Most people seem to prefer using fancy optics on the SKS.
Makes me feel they don't trust its irons.
Any time I go in with something on my pmc I don't even last 2 minutes, but when I loot one I can easily put an entire mag into somebody and it doesn't seem to do anything, and it's not like I'm blowing the mag, im making sure I'm on target
Are you using PS ammo?
never use 7.62 us or hp
PS ammo has a very poor penetration rate on level 4 and above armor.
PS ammo is good... Against scavs.
PS is one of the best, if not the best, for low tier players and beginners
BP is task locked
I'm using what the gun spawns with, like I said, my PMC has the worst luck, I cannot last more than 2 minutes if I bring any sort of gear with me
PS is the best beginner round.
But it also is not at all that effective against the current geared players.
Whom can easily be wearing two layers fo armor that can stop PS ammo.
7.62x39 ps will drop almost anyone within 20 rounds
better hope you can land all 20 rounds
They are supposed to fic the iron sights in 11.5 iirc but if I'm not mistaken the SKS Irons' POI is at the base of the rear sight rather than the tip of the front post.
The FAL has the highes Power out of assault rifles because of the high caliber right?
@dusk charm Yes, but it also has one of the highest recoils.
@reef spoke yes i know
Also, yeah, an OP SKS is only 3k less then a AK 101.

Poor new players.
I mean it says it right in the name " OP SKS" how obvs can the Devs get.
It was gonna get a price nerf
muh tapco sks
the SKS in Contract Wars was over powered too
still havent used the tapco this patch nor the m1a
would somebody be so kind and could buy me a Tactica Tula 10000 mount from Skier lvl2?
there are no ones in the shop
Any RU player here? How much in rubles is the upgrade to EU version of the game?
What's the EU version
You wanna play shootem
@harsh acorn @oak moth You guys waiting for a sherpa or help?
both
roof snipers
not 2nd story window snipers
laughs in counter sniper.
I mean I'd love an Sv-99 for counter sniping. Sept people wear visors pretty often... (link in IRL weapons)
hi - is there a way to change the view to left handed?
Most of the guns are designed for right handed shooters.
Your character would get brass all over them.
Keeps your face warm
@white torrent I know that feeling....I've only been able to extract like 3 or 4 times as a PMC
I've lost most of my gear recently....I'm too scared to bring my built up ADAR hahaha
I've only been able to get one so I don't wanna lose it hahaha
anyone trying to run some raids?
I use adar with ironsights and m855
its good "enough"
m995 is only needed for very hard targets
Yes
Anyone here?
Sorta why , whats up?
Just wondering how effective is it to walk-shoot in this game? does it make the target impossible to hit or can i still hit my target kinda easy if im walk-shooting
Talking like gunfights in general
You mean hipfire or ads?
ads
I wouldnยดt recommend it because you are slowed down
Better just shoot accurate and kill the other guy faster than he kills you
Okey tnx
@violet summit 32/80 is bad until you repair it. I sometimes feel lucky and hide my armor to pick up a 32/80 because it will be a 70/70 when repaired after the raid. Keep that in mind.
32 armor points is still good
How do you know what it will repair to?
And no it's not
Penetration chance depends on armor hp
Wish No food still had the super indepth charts up....
but the quick ref sheet is bae too

Hey! Why are the voice channels locked?
They're not locked @ember steppe but have permissions set on them is all, you can use them
O
why is the AKS-74/AKS-74U PT Lock not compatible with thw aks-74n ?
@true hemlock there is a typo in the translation for the German edition so there is in fact two versions of the AKS-74N, I am guessing you are doing the Mechanic task?
yup. you experienced it too?
I reported it as found it with another German player
Do you have screenshots of that perhaps ?
Or maybe a little more detail ?
I'm sure @idle quarry and @calm sierra will look into it if provided with information on how to find the error ๐
I belive that this will be fixed in the next update
Great ๐ Thanks Cyver
@true hemlock I can put an AKS-74N on the flea market for you if you like?
maybe in one hour? i wopuld text you again
Sure send me a DM and we will sort it out

Thanks for helpin the new guys Johny
no i just need 2 more raids and then im level 5
should be able to sell my super nice mr ๐
no problem..i remember myself...the beginnings in this game are not easy
extremely
the learning curve is pretty flat haha...it took some time to figure all out. And after that..be efficient
qwer, im gonna go to bed now..it is super late here. If you wannt ,we can jump in a raid and il throw u some cash and some extras ๐
im fine dude dont make yourself extra work because of that โค
save the rest for tommorow ^^
have a good night ๐ค
tahts unexpected
weeeeeell, okay okay ๐
Time for my first sniper raid.... wish me luck
You can do it!
Where ya headin? woods?
Nice job man
Is the knife meant to not kill a scav after 3 hits to the chest with no armour?
@neat grove Thanks man!
only way to really kill with melee is head hits
and the knife sucks
well im assuming you mean the brown/ black handle wood thing
what level are you stormy?
@devout umbra Nice job man, keep at it.
Thanks ! I ended up with a 230m kill aswell before dying to a squad but im happy!
Yes!
how long to wait before looting?
Situational
i keep dieingwhile looting so need to figure this out
depends where they died, and If you know of others
Not waiting 30mins per body.
Its like you want todie.
then you need to wait longer or loot faster
Suppressor?
I've only camped a few people like that, but I have over watched locations for longer. ( hot kill zones) before pushing them.
If I know there is another player out there, I will wait it out usually, or if not good gear just leave it. I also snipe scavs in open areas sometimes and wait for players to go loot them lol
you'd be upset how effective dropping a blue berry in the road is....
or an attack 2
(sorry pilgrim bag)
Whoโd wants a un helmet
Hmm
Put a bunch of single rouble in the bag too so they are stuck searching if they don't just pick it up
we typically put crackers in an F shape.
between the at least two shooters watching the kill zone someone has a bead on them the moment they start looting.
Do you make more money tearing down weapons before selling to traders or is it the same???
Do you guys bring any close range weapons with you on your sniper raids? if so what weapon do you bring for close range combat?
still level 4 after ~5 tries... i always die ๐คฆ ๐
@clever sinew tasks are the best way to get xp
I bring a hand gun at the very least, but have taken to bringing a Mp7 or Kedr B with me for close end stuff.
Typically I don't wear a bag or will toss it near my hide to help conceal my location .
I never take a bag, just pick one up in the raid
just got one shot by a mosin or smth only 1 minute into raid
the mosin classic
alwys bad luck on my site
best headset to use?
preference. Iperfer sordins.
I like tactical sport
its 100% preference
just try em all
diffrences are subtle and its hard to explain
but i can tell you sordins are bassy
if thats a word
just bassy
basey? ๐
๐ค
You was right actually @neat grove lol
I mean the spelling of it lol
mkay
I'm having a hard time choosing between helmet or headset, i know some helmets are compatible with headset but most helms i have are'nt
LZSh or highcomm strickers
I run a boonie hat and sordins.
of course you wear a boonie lol
Not going to lie at this late in the wipe I start to wear less head protection
b/c the odds are people are going to be shooting great ammunition that will easily penetrate whatever class armour helmet i'm wearing
buuut wearing the class 3 helmet from ragman can't hurt for 18k
also compatible with comtacs
Personally I only run the helmets that can't fit hearing when i'm rolling in a group of 2/3 people
hearing is so so so important in tarkov, lot of the time you're gonna hear your enemy before you see em
I normaly hear them shooting me before i can see them ๐
boonie > all else
@neat grove you want to walk us through labs again soon? XD
I got work in 9 hours
and Im gonna play with the ARG a bit even though I wont get anyway
i work at 6 am is what I mean
Tomorrow tho
@ me when ever
@steady pilot ill do a few actually
No sorry
So no?
@neat grove Is there anyone i should report this to or something or is it known about?
On the launcher theres a report a bug
Alright
thats called rest in tarkov
Question on interchange, is it just me, or is it difficult to tell vertically where gunfire is coming from? Like, I'll be on the first floor of the mall, and all I can tell is gunfire is coming from my right, but idk if it's around the corner, above me, or below.
Ok so it's not just me being deaf or something, that's good news XD
Has there been any talk on that being fixed?
rip the assholes who just turn on raiders right away :[
๐
thanks big dad
well looking for someone to get in a raid ๐ mostly pref factory cause only map knowledge exists but open to play evry map ._.
i suck but i would be down to play

How much is G phone worth but when golden?
Yeah, barter item or?
Therapist I suppose for 40k?

I need help doing prapors fourth task.. I got the office key, got the documents but I need help in the factory
Should I just bring this to LFG?
Why not? Try there too
take some tactical light with you
i once made that mistake that i didnt take any light source with me and i baely got out from the spawn
haha yeah ive done offline night raids there with the boss crew and it was awful
no lights or nods
Only need like one more if you want to come with for the shits and gigs?
cant rigt now
@lyric helm you could also use nightvision if you don't want to make yourself easy visible
Or turn up the gamma a bit
heya any sherpa open to help me do shoreline quests ty
ill try some more scav runs on it to try to find what i need so i aint so lost but yeah ill wait
Uhh.. The game stopped for like 3-4sec, someone appeared infront of me and killed me
Is this normal?
like under 1min from my spawn
Stutters/desync is normal, that does sound quite a long freeze though
@cedar thunder you there?
@neat grove sorry someone else reach out to help me
nice ๐
-thumbs up- It's addicting , soon you will start to try and push the distance numbers....
There is no best. Just use what you prefer
True
