Not sure if the wiki mention the manager's office in lab is suppose to be bulletproof but it's not

idle bluff
#

I don't believe the wiki specifies anything about the manager's office glass.

simple pendant
#

It isn´t mentioned because it is not bulletproof

true hemlock
#

well it was mentioned. but propably removed

simple pendant
#

I just checked every revision on the page and it was never mentioned on the wiki

modern willow
#

I think it might be reddit, though I'm sure I read somewhere because I told my buddies it was bulletproof and we rushed into the manager's office and died

simple pendant
#

Glass in tarkov, especially the one which doesn´t break, is weird

#

Damage and penetration get reduced by a lot, but only for players

#

So scavs can kill you easy through it and player too with enough bullets or just a tap to the head if you don´t wear a helmet

true hemlock
#

but i read it once too...?

split vapor
#

Best way say the glass that doesn’t shatter will weaken the overall energy and effective of the round

modern willow
#

Also, is there any reason why I don't see anybody carrying Glock? Are they that inefficient over the TT or Makarov?

simple pendant
#

most people use what they prefer

brisk mortar

Price to performance isn't good on the stock models

simple pendant
#

@patent crystal @bold kernel you waiting for a sherpa?

modern willow
#

Yea but I mean, I know people would pick Makarov cause it's cheap, or the TT cause it can hit a bit harder. But hardly any Glock or the Sig, let alone the Stechkins

idle bluff
#

Wait, what? I find the Stechkins to be gods on Factory, if used by the right person.

#

Back when Punisher pt 6 was timed, I used to grab APS', blast music, and finish that quest within an hour.

neat grove
#

Stechkin so fun

simple pendant
#

I prefer APS/APB

#

If glock wouldn´t be so big with the big mags I would probably prefer that

jovial heath
#

What settings should I use on offline mode to practise shootin the bots?

rose echo
#

Do you mean difficulty wise @jovial heath ?

jovial heath
#

Yeah

#

Amount and difficulty

rose echo
#

It depends how new you are to the game I guess, start easy and work your way up, learn the spawns etc first then test your skill with tougher Scavs 😉

jovial heath
#

Gotcha, I'll set them both to "as online" for now then

#

Holy shit you just get cut up without good armour

rose echo
#

Yeah armour is a must really lol

jovial heath
#

How can I get the dough to afford it with regularity?

bitter venture
#

scav into factory, hide, wait, clean up when things quiet down is my most reliable means of free money

#

it ain't the most thrilling but oh well

simple pendant
#

@jovial heath you only need to train "as online" difficulty. Players will behave completely different anyway and can be everywhere compared to scavs

bitter venture
#

Having rouble getting the room 306 key in factory

#

Is that a high priority item for people to grab when spawning in?

rose echo
#

San 306? It is a task key, so can sell for a bit

bitter venture
#

Yeah, I seem to keep being dropped in five minutes after start and it's not there

misty shard
#

uhh so gamepedia wiki loosk really weird rn so i cant check this but uhh what does this want me to do

bitter venture
#

Gamepedia is busted right now

rose echo
#

Is that the key you need @bitter venture ?

bitter venture
#

Yeah, trying to do medical privacy 2

rose echo
#

Oh sorry that is the west side one, yes

bitter venture
#

Yeah need west side, have east side

rose echo
#

Ah sorry I sold mine lol

simple pendant
#

@misty shard prapor rep needs to rise by 0.3 afaik

bitter venture
#

There we go, got it, thanks guys

rose echo
#

Nice!

misty shard
#

ooh

#

lol im still stuck on debut cause i can never find scavs

foggy yoke
#

Is there any way I can fix crashing nearly every single time I raid on EFT?

#

I can't load into raids most of the time because of an update which should have been tested by a few people instead of pushing it out to us first..

#

I can do offline raids also, its online ones fucking with me.

rose echo
#

Hey @foggy yoke, what are your PC specs?

foggy yoke
#

Funny enough, I fixed the issue about 20 minutes ago.

#

The problem was just not having a big enough memory page file.

#

Sorry about being stressed and all, I just didn't want it to happen again which is why I was desperately fixing it.

#

Since a lot of things on my computer stuff up already so yeah.

rose echo
#

Oh awesome, no problem. With regards to testing it though, it's kinda what we all signed up to do lol 😆 glad you have fixed it though upvote

foggy yoke
#

Oh of course xD I just didn't expect it to be like that lol, because I seen all other beta testing rather be like them fixing obvious bugs and then using people to fix harder ones to find haha

#

But now that I understand its like that, I realise its normal on this.

#

How you doing also? Lol

rose echo
#

I'm good thanks, it is 5am here though so just lurking here and there really. Hope you're well also?

foggy yoke
#

That's good and jesus, you stayed up or something? I never been able to stay up that late for a while lol

#

But yeah, I'm better now that I'm not as stressed and all.. My mental health sucks so it was a much smaller problem than I thought, just negative thoughts from loneliness and what not.

rose echo
#

I'm sorry to hear that man, mental health can be a lonely place, if you ever want someone to raid with or just a chat feel free to DM me Sherpa

foggy yoke
#

Yeah it is but thanks though :) I'd like to be friends with you potentially also, you seem like a good person.

rose echo
#

Thanks man, likewise. Feel free to DM me anytime.

foggy yoke
#

No worries and thanks also, you made me a bit better at about myself too.

#

But yeah I will.

quartz oar
#

Meah.....i still cant fix my economy T~T

bold kernel
#

@quartz oar PM me if you need any help with your economy. I´ve might got some handy tips for you. I´m sitting on 94+ million (roubles) stash value myself. So I know a thing or two about keeping money and gaining money.

jovial heath
#

Holy shit bestow unto me your wisdom

bold kernel
#

@jovial heath did pm you, i hope i was able to help you

crisp heron
#

Is scavs reduced

#

I mean amount

bold kernel
#

@crisp heron haven´t heard anything official, but it seems that scav´s are now much more rare on some maps in certain location where they usually always spawned

crisp heron
#

thought so

#

maybe the optimization they referred mean this

bold kernel
#

I think they are just playing around with randomization. Nikita mentioned something similar to this. They don´t want you to know where to expect enemies and where not. They also introduced new spawns and routes on Costums while sometimes other old ones are inactive. Before you could have been almost certain that there will spawn Scavs, only their number was mainly unknown to you. But now you can´t estimate their exact location or numbers. Kinda cool, but that can also lead to rare but still random maps that are almost empty. We had that this weekend on Costums. There were only around 6 Scavs on the entire map till the end. And we´ve been looking in every corner till the last minute.

sly ice
#

Can someone explain what Tagged and cursed, Bosses and Scav war is?

undone ginkgo
#

@sly ice Tagged and Cursed means that scavs will have wallhacks and good aimbot on you

#

Bosses is Rashalla and Killa on their respective maps

#

Scar War means that the AI will fight each other

sly ice
#

ok thnx

undone ginkgo
#

your welcome

split vapor
#

So the ai from .6 they added for tagged basically

shadow thistle
#

@sly ice Tagged and cursed is basically a game mode that forces scavs to go onto your location, its good for target practice and see how long you can survive, as they will respawn in waves, each wave with better gear and will always go towards your current location

#

Bosses enables the different bosses currently in the game and scav war is basically free for all

simple pendant
#

Yeah tagged and cursed doesn´t increase their aim or something, just that once they have seen you every single scav on map knows where you are and will try to kill you

feral gorge
#

It adds wallhacks

#

Basically lmao

modern willow
#

Can someone explain fragmentation to me?

simple pendant
#

When a bullet hits you, it has a chance to fragment and it does 50% bonus damage

#

that was the short explanation

modern willow
#

So in the game terms, is it good or bad then?

neat grove
#

its basically a critical hit

#

good to do, bad to get hit

modern willow
#

Gotcha

bold kernel
#

factory is literally impossible, high levels are just fucking with me

#

this game is so hard yet why do you play? are you guys cucks or something

modern willow
#

Just like Dark Souls

bold kernel
#

dark souls players do tend to have their gfs stolen

modern willow
#

Kek

bold kernel
#

gonna quit this game for good today, its just not worth it

modern willow

I accept my death when I hear some chonk with suppressed M4 or RPK in factory

@versed estuary hey

versed estuary

this channel is for finding sherpal assistance or belly aching about the game?

modern willow

Kinda both

simple pendant

Mostly finding help

simple pendant
#

if you want to rant you can go into another channel ^^

modern willow
#

Quick question: Which is the cheaper scope? I'm running RDS but I feel like it's not so useful in woods or customs

#

Like, I won't want something long range like ACOG

#

Just something about 2.5x

ancient creek
#

I have question for close combat

neat grove
#

Acog/Spectr/Valday/Bravo

ancient creek
#

Is shooting while moving that bad?

#

Pretty sure I shot first and I died first

neat grove
#

spectr is 1/4x variable

#

Valday is 1/6

simple pendant
#

@ancient creek your accuracy goes down while moving, so your chance of killing somehting also goes down

#

also you are slowed down while ads, so it doesn´t do much for the enemy

ancient creek
#

I know that, but he was like 5-10m away

#

Made no sense that accuracy is that bad while moving

neat grove
#

really hurts recoil control

simple pendant
#

maybe you died before you could shoot back?

ancient creek
#

I shot first

#

And he shot me back

#

Both of us were moving and I died first

simple pendant
#

he hit better then

#

or used better ammo

#

or was better protected

#

many variables

neat grove
#

shooting first isnt the deciding factor

#

thorax/head, armor, ammo type

#

actually hitting

rose echo
#
  • luck 😛
ancient creek
#

Yea, think he was lucky

#

or better ammo

#

since both had no armor I think

modern willow
#

And gotcha, thanks @neat grove

versed estuary
#

did he thorax you

ancient creek
#

If I met someone very close, like 5-20 meters, do I need to shoot while moving or just stand still/crouch/prone?

full niche
#

@ancient creek shotting while moving I noticed causes some of your shots to go way above your sights

#

I think it's a bug

#

Try it in offline and shoot at a wall while moving back and forth to see

ancient creek
#

Shoulda try that, thanks

full niche
#

I always fool around in offline so I can check and see how the game mechanics work

#

It also helps alot with figuring out the map and loot locations

versed estuary
#

think i'll just wait for wipe to play

simple pendant
#

why not learn the map and do the early taks so you know what you have to do next time?

ancient creek
#

combat part is the hardest one for me

#

already know most maps, and made all traders level 2

modern willow
#

Same

ancient creek
#

like, mid range is ok since it happens a lot

#

but close range was very rare for me

#

especially moving target

versed estuary
#

you try point firing?

ancient creek
#

hipfire thing?

#

if very close, yea but in that time, I ADSed

versed estuary
#

yea hipfire

#

the community gets triggered when you call it hipfire lel

ancient creek
#

is it? lol

#

maybe I play too much PUBG

#

EFT is way better doe

sly ice
#

lol

modern willow
#

Jesus, there's no way to go toe to toe with the raiders is there

sly ice
#

U think a Nvidia Quadro P5000 is good for EFT?

simple pendant
#

@modern willow there is, but not if there are multiple

modern willow
#

I was fighting one, I had a good angle and everything, he just walks in and then ran out, started firing at me, I died even before I can pull the trigger.

#

I mean, I don't really feel like I wanna cheese it by just bringing in a Mosin and wait for them to forget they're in alert mode like in Metal Gear

rose echo
#

Go for the face @modern willow most don't seem to have face shields I find, either that or frag the hell out of them 😄

modern willow
#

Yea, I can do that if I don't get shot to pieces first. They happen to bump into me when I'm trying to move about.

#

How much did they change their gear since last patch? I never get to kill them in the last one so I don't know what they normally carry outside of M4s

simple pendant
#

aks-74u, mp153, ak105, ak104, hk416 and some other

#

@modern willow normally you hear them before you see them

modern willow
#

Yea I kinda do. But man they aim so fast and just blams me without having any time to react

#

Armour or no armour

rose echo
#

If you hear them coming, get in a good position and pre aim, then BAM, you win 😛

simple pendant
#

armor class 3 or 4 is mostly enough agaisnt raider since they have mostly PS rn

modern willow
#

Gotcha

#

Any advice on that stupid quest? I'm really afraid of going to shoreline to do the first quest by Peacekeeper, I don't wanna lose that SV-98

simple pendant
#

night raid

#

prossible the best time rn because there are almost no people playin

rose echo
#

Have someone to watch your back also, as placing it takes a while

modern willow
#

I'm going in at dawn with nothing but a TT and the gun on my back

#

I really hope I spawn at the beach ;_;

#

Sigh.

#

I died.

#

I wiggled and the PMC still shoots at me.

#

Like he was hesitating even

neat grove
#

Use the sv-98 instead of the tt

modern willow
#

I had both

neat grove
#

yea should have just shot him

modern willow
#

He snuck up behind me while I was moving down onto the beach

neat grove
#

if you had wiggle time and he hesitated

#

you had time to shoot

modern willow
#

Well, I was being naive

#

So I guess that's a lesson learned

#

That means I gotta buy a new one right?

steady pilot
#

@modern willow you spawned on shoreline didnt ya

modern willow
#

Yeah

steady pilot
#

Yeah people are going for the 20 pmc kill quest

#

You wont have any kind of luck on that there

modern willow
#

But the quest needs to be done there isn't it

steady pilot
#

Yes.

#

I meant for shorline

#

Prapors punisher questline. Its shoot on sight or nothing lol

#

If there was voip I would be like okay go do your quest. And cheeki breeki put one in your skull, no hard feelings kid.

rose echo
#

To be honest wiggle or not I'm still gonna shoot lol

steady pilot
#

^

modern willow
#

But why :c

steady pilot
#

Rule no.1

#

Dont trust anyone

#

No one can kill you if they are dead

rose echo
#

Because of the chance that you will find a weapon and kill me. I only care about my survival and the ones that are with me, everyone else dies

#

Or you let them go, carry on and get one in the back of the head from their secure container, never again would I trust someone not with me

steady pilot
rose echo
#

I was the same in DayZ "Hey I'm friendly!" BANG... "I'm not..."

modern willow
#

Oh God

#

I did it

rose echo
#

GG man!

modern willow
#

Not a single PMC around, thank God, killed a few Scavs to earn back the cost of the SV-98

#

Thank you, goddamnit that was scary.

only game thats gets the adrenlaine going

Weird said it was scheduled for Germany

merry dew
#

how does one learn the maps lol

split vapor
#

Easy way play the map, wiki also has maps

sinful hamlet
#

@merry dew also if you have 2 monitors,have map up on 2nd monitor to look at as you come across "landmarks".Helps with learning your position when you spawn in as well as navigating around map better

bitter venture
#

^ it's the way

rancid fractal
#

How common is it to get flashbanged as soon as you enter the labs? I moved forward and was instantly blacked out stomach and legs :/

#

Raider spawn literally right in my face

bitter venture
#

So my go to weapon right now is a barely modded AK-74U loaded with 56.49x39 BS

#

I feel like my shots aren't doing anything even against unamoured scavs

#

I feel like 4-5 body shots typically.

#

Is something off, should I be changing anything?

ancient creek
#

what is ur prapor level?

#

if level 2, PP is good

#

tbh, I dont like AK since it really depends on the ammo type

#

even if I hit the guy 5 times first, cant even kill him

#

while he only shot me 4 times and I die

bitter venture
#

But BS has significantly higher penetration than PP.. Should just do more damage even to unamoured characters no?

ancient creek
#

this is ammo chart

bitter venture
#

I'm working off of that one

ancient creek
#

if unarmored, PP gives more damage, since PP = 46, BS = 40

#

but for armored, BS would be much better

bitter venture
#

Interesting trade off

#

Would maining a different weapon be a better option, SKS or something? I prefer a rifle in single file mode but that might be part of my problem too

ancient creek
#

Im currently using Mosin

#

vest is not needed, nice dmg

#

cheap

#

or Vepr is also good

bitter venture
#

Problem with me is my aim is shit, if I don't one tap I'm going down due to the reload time

ancient creek
#

better than SKS cuz reloading time is faster

#

what I liked to use when I was at level 5-10: SKS, Mosin, PP-19-01

bitter venture
#

Mosin is always bolt action right?

ancient creek
#

yea

#

1-2 shot, 1 kill

bitter venture
#

That's with good aim though?

ancient creek
#

for PMC, yea. for Scav, not really

bitter venture
#

Fair enough

rancid fractal
#

Just been trying to kill raiders with a mosin

#

8 games in a row, I think I killed 2

bitter venture
#

Raiders = PMC?

rancid fractal
#

no, super scavs

ancient creek
#

better scav

rancid fractal
#

All these people complaining about getting 1 shotted by mosins... I wish I could one shot scavs with it

#

No matter what ammo I use it just doesn't work

bitter venture
#

That's my concern

ancient creek
#

I really surprised about Raider AI doe

bitter venture
#

I also struggle with optics, they never quite seem to hit right for me

ancient creek
#

they open the door and run away and get position

#

like wtf?

rancid fractal
#

I think some of the optics are off depending on game FOV?

bitter venture
#

Is that what it is?

rancid fractal
#

yes, they got better recently

#

I think so, Usurer

ancient creek
#

was camping with mosin, and just saw raider arm came thru the door

#

thought it was easy kill

#

he opened the door and ran away

rancid fractal
#

I've just learned that if one knows where you are, they all bloody know

#

had 2 sneak up behind me

#

they had to walk for about 60 seconds to get there

#

How the hell did they know I was there? I realised it was the same group I was already fighting and they flanked me

#

They seem to be able to see through walls if you're camping up against one, like you can see them, too

#

@𝓖𝓮𝓷𝓽𝓵𝓮 which ammo do you use?

#

@ancient creek

#

I got SNB figureing it would help get through the raider armour, but wondering if I should just stick with the other one

ancient creek
#

for AK-74, PP. for Mosin, LPS Gzh

rancid fractal
#

ok, I'll try the lps gzh again

reef spoke
#

The issues with FOV and zeroing were fixed, once upon a time there was an isssue with aspect ratios , so if you're using some funky aspect ratio that make make a diffrence.

Otherwise all zeroing will be the same across fov.

Keep in mind with how the EFT curently does ballstics, rounds have about 4 imes as much drop as their IRL counter parts.

rancid fractal
#

Ah, that explains why my headshots always hit them in the chest

reef spoke
#

Iron sights were supposed to be fixxed this last patch, but I've not tested it enough to say exactly what they are doing atm. Before patch the point of aim was actually the base of the rear notch rather than the tip of the front sight post.

rancid fractal
#

^noticed this with teh mosin and a couple of the shotguns

reef spoke
#

Uhmm other than that there was a pretty hard mosin nerf with ergo, so it takes a second for your character "line up the sights" when you ADS

#

that could be causingissues, because it also effects if you shift left or right while ADS

rancid fractal
#

Yeah, that makes sense

reef spoke
bitter venture
#

The drop rate is interesting, because I generally test my optics close up, shouldn't have that much of an effect over say 10m no?

reef spoke
#

No, but do know since our optics are zero'd for 50m your bullet still has to rise to meet the 50m los

#

(line of sight)

bitter venture
#

ah, it arcs up then down

reef spoke
#

^ Currently how the 50m zero functions ( lower)

#

On weapons with lower speed bullets, you will see an increase in the size of the arch. So on the VSS , and other weapons using 'slow' ammo, you may need range your targets mroe carefully.

bitter venture
#

That's good information, it is actually about learning the arc below and above 50m

rancid fractal
#

That is interesting

#

Kinda explains a lot of my problems too

bitter venture
#

Now I just have to get good at judging 50m in game lol

rancid fractal
#

haha yes

reef spoke
#

PSO-1 scope ( the dove tail on SKS and AK) have a range finder

bitter venture
#

That one I'm not sure how to read

reef spoke
#

Page up and page down change your zero.

#

So the way this works, you put a standing player's feet at te base, and move the reticle until the arch just bareeely touches his head.

#

Notice the scav standing in the lower portion of the reticle.

bitter venture
#

ooooohhhhh

reef spoke
#

From there you zero.

bitter venture
#

So scav @150m

reef spoke
#

Mhmm

#

It takes some practice, but if you can "recall" your longest shot, it will help you get better

bitter venture
#

But that's for scopes, optics not so much

reef spoke
#

Well you can do it with red dot sights as well.... but that's a lot more practice and math I've not bothered to make into graphics.

#

anywho last thing

bitter venture
#

Fair enough

reef spoke
#

So zero's for weapons are not perfect.

The current zero system only works on the weapons base line ammo.

While not noticeable under 100m you will notice faster rounds "landing high" despite having a lower zero.

m885 and m995 for example have around 150 Meters per second diffrence.

And what is a 100m zero for 885 is closer to a 200m zero for m995 because the bullet 's arc is being raised for 885 ( raised more) while the m995 shoots flater ( needs to be rose less)

#

So experiment to see where your ammo hits using offline and a wall .

#

or places you know you like to shoot from etc etc

bitter venture
#

Welp, I can't complain about realism in this game lol

#

Are you on the dev team?

reef spoke
#

Nope.

#

Just stuff I've documented.

bitter venture
#

Good work, really appreciate it

reef spoke
#

No problem, raid safe , don't get fustrated.

While the game pushes hard , it's best to be silly every so often.

#

imo*

bitter venture
#

I really don't find this game frustrating at all (save for the occasional immortal scav). One taps aren't great but that's kinda the deal, otherwise I've never felt a death was cheap, just me getting outplayed

reef spoke
#

Keep that mindset and you'll do great.

#

anyways, I'm off to the night, if you all need anything, shoot me a pm.

#

Best map to scav computer parts for Mechanic?

brisk mortar
#

I prefer shoreline, but that's heavily dependent on keys.

#

Though there're also electronics stores in Interchange, you can take a look at a map and try and pinpoint where they all are

bitter venture
#

Interchange scares me a bit, might run shoreline

brisk mortar
#

There's honestly not a lot to worry about, just steer clear of the the central hall and you'll more or less be fine.

Even then, depending on what gun you bring Killa falls prey to the 'Drop to the ground and turn his knees to hamburger' strat pretty easily.

Especially if you manage to get cover behind one of the blue screens, if you lay behind one of them you can shoot his legs but he can't shoot you.
-and yup, that's usually how I get my kills on him. Load up on hollow point rounds in a MP5, then put a drums worth into his legs.

#

Hah, I actually managed to survive a labs run!

bold kernel
#

@rancid fractal well done, to know the path to the good exists is key on labs

rancid fractal
#

yeah, I found two earlier today. One for the alarm system and one for the weapons testing area. Still don't really know where all the locked doors and loot is but my main aim today has been figuring out those damn raiders

bold kernel
#

going for the head or spraying high penetrative ammo usually helps to deal with them, an optic with some is also very benefitial to pick them out one by one from the distance

#

you just shouldn´t push into them unless you wear a fort and an altyn but even then it is irrational to rush into them

rancid fractal
#

yeah, I always try to hide and if they push move back. Usually end up getting myself boxed in, though. I've been running mosin the last few hours just to learn their movements. This last time came out with a couple m4s and a mp5, ammo, etc.

bold kernel
#

because with anything else i end up being unlucky

rancid fractal
#

yeah, I get that a lot. The being unlucky bit 😛

bold kernel
#

sometimes they seem to tank an extreme amount of damage on their chest

#

no matter what round ur using

rancid fractal
#

I've noticed in some of the normal scavs on the other maps seem invincible at times

bold kernel
#

in one round i was testing the 7,62x51 M61, a raider was able to tank around 12 shots to its chest, while a player with the same armor dropped by 2

rancid fractal
#

wow, that's crazy

bold kernel
#

yea, i can´t tell if its desync or if some of their life pools are still messed up as they been when they been introduced

#

but AI is definitly way more tankier than players

#

one of the costums boss guards wears an altyn for example

#

and he was able to tank around 6 headshots

#

while a player with an altyn would have dropped with one single hit

#

(was using M995)

#

i don´t know what others will tell you, but i personally will recommend you to go for the head on raiders, that will keep you alive the longest and if you miss, get back into cover, it´s better than dropping dead by them spraying you

rancid fractal
#

yeah, what usually gets me is my repeeking

#

then remember to late that their pretty much guaranteed to kill if they're already aggro'd

bold kernel
#

when they are triggered by you, you better stay in that cover and let them push, because they keep aiming for that corner you peeked around

rancid fractal
#

they're*

bold kernel
#

yup

#

if they apply to much pressure, a granade can help as well

#

when they flee from a nade they forget almost anything

rancid fractal
#

Ok, that's good to know. Although I am terrible with my grenade throws, haha

bold kernel
#

it might helps if you put them on a number

#

they are easier to throw if you pull the pin out first and aim with them

#

and do not throw them straight into their line of fire if they are already aiming for you, will only end in getting hurt

#

so that is just a last resort option to push them away from you or stun them a bit

#

i also highly recommend hardcover since they usually use bullets that penetrate well

rancid fractal
#

I've never actually tried doing the grenades on the number, I'll try that next time. I've killed myself more than once using G, lol. Thanks for all the advice!

Where do folks find magnets and intelligence folders? I never seen them at all

bold kernel

magnets can be found on interchange in electronical spawns, maybe also in tool spawns

but i havent seen an intelligence folder myself, maybe they drop in file cabinets?

@bitter venture u got tarkoved, shit happens, just keep going and never lose hope!

modern willow
#

Apb vs glock 18c?

bold kernel
#

full auto pistols are crap, but when i would choose one i would go for APB since it comes silenced, is cheaper and the ammo is quiet affordable as well

modern willow
#

Yeah, I was leaning towards that because at least I get punchier ammo than the 9mm Para?

#

Also do folks here use reshade?

bold kernel
#

i don´t, i see no benefits in unrealistic strong colors, 9mm para is actually better, but RIP ammo is quiet expensive and the difference between those common rounds is actually zero to none, besides that you always want to go for headshots with 9mm pistol calibers since their penetration is poor while low end vests are very common, even among scavs

#

if you need a cheap-as-dirt platform to run on, go for 7,62x39

#

even PS penetrates well against most opponents and the bullet actually deliver some decent damage and will penetrate a few helmets here and there as well

modern willow
#

I'm planning on trying out reshade because the current setup hurts my eyes, especially when I scan the horizon for enemies

#

I don't have much problems with other big map games or dark ones tho

#

Yeah I've been using the Vepr or SKS in labs. Works like a treat

bold kernel
#

when you run on nvidia you can simply use the nvidia panel to do adjustments

#

you should stick to veprs and SKS then, since pistols (those with lower penetration) are simply impractial duo to their relatively high recoil and poor penetration power

modern willow
#

Well I've been using 226s cause I got plenty from hunting scavs and their knives

#

It's a shame pistols are in an odd position in this game.

bold kernel
#

well, its realistic in such a scenario

#

those calibers simply suck at penetrating armor

#

and when people do bring assault rifles to the field you don´t want to show up with just a pistol, but the game still gives it their well deserved place, because when you are good with them you can try to pop heads when peeking with your pistol, but it still doesn´t come cheap in most cases

frozen pelican
#

@modern willow Check screenshots in a sec

modern willow
#

Okay!

bold kernel
#

it´s because they are orientating at real life pricing and pistols in that regard are actually pretty expensive, you get 3 chineses AK´s before you get one high end pistol

modern willow
#

And yeah, I mean against anyone with decent armor it's not gonna work.

bold kernel
#

i still love pistols in this game, they are fun to run on labs, im looking forward to the 1911 a lot

frozen pelican
#

Why need a 1911 when you have TT

bold kernel
#

because 1911 is awesome

#

.45 will do more damage as well

.45 has a lot of different quirky ammo

Does the Saiga 9 always have such a weird point of impact?

split vapor

whatcha mean volk

modern willow
#

I have to aim low for it to hit high

neat grove
#

Huh?

split vapor
#

are you missing the sight

modern willow
#

Was aiming at a Scav, the bullet landed higher than him, so I have to aim a lot lower

split vapor
#

the saiga carbine is fine

#

you couldve been zero'd too high by accident

neat grove
#

Need both Rear and front sights

reef spoke
#

Mind double checking to see if Zeroing still "doesn't " effect POI? Last I checked it didn't @split vapor

#

for iron sights****

neat grove
#

Iron sights don't zero in real life either do they? At least not most. I know some AK can

split vapor
#

ik the irons dont move when chaning the zero. just thinking if he up'd the zero

#

upping the range of the poi at close range wouldve caused him to overshoot

#

ill see

#

welp the saigi carbine cant even be zeroed so its always on 50m

#

so i took off the rear sight for the carbine and shot like 1 ft high

simple pendant
#

i could be wrong but aren´t some weapons zeroed to 25 a base?

split vapor
#

the carbine has the single zero distance of 50m

#

@modern willow you where mostly likely missing the rear sight for the saiga 9 carbine

modern willow
#

Yea, you're right, I took it off because I read that it's better taken off for better aiming?

#

But I didn't think it was that bad, I did it on some AKs

split vapor
#

the rear sight does make a differnce

modern willow
#

That's an odd pattern

#

But gotcha

split vapor
#

welignore that

#

that was jsut me spaming it from that range

#

Both aiming at the same point

steady pilot

I remember when mosin could have no rear sight and clap people

Actually I think it had no sights 🤔

Iirc

modern willow

Yea, lesson learned

#

Never take off the rear sight

split vapor
#

never

#

hard to aim

modern willow
#

I went into the raid with the Saiga 9 without the rear sight

split vapor
#

oofie

modern willow
#

It was by mistake

#

I bumped into a PMC who can actually hit me with a shotgun, ran away without hitting anything at all without the rear sight

#

Bumped into Reshala

Not bad tho, I manage to kill that PMC and a guard with headshots from the Saiga 9

i do know the Resh gaurds can spawn without the rearsigth

Hatchling repellent I am calling flesh damage rounds that now

hey, just a question, what is the difference between matching status and waiting for players

rancid fractal
#

Tip: Make sure you check your gun is on auto when that raider you've been baiting for 5 minutes finally turns up ":/

#

waiting for players is waiting for extra players, once you are matched it means you're going to be in the game with at least one player

#

pmc or scav, I believe

calm whale
#

thanks

simple pendant
#

@calm whale matching means the system is looking for players. waiting for players means it has found some but they need some more time to load

calm whale
#

@simple pendant thank you

wispy abyss
#

Matching... > you are now being processed and not in the game.
Waiting for players... > you are now in the game and you'll be deployed soon. If "Waiting for players..." takes 90 seconds, your game starts without opponent PMCs, but un that case PMCs may spawn afterwards. Within 90 seconds, any matched PMCs will be deployed in the same game.
Unless you play on low-populated server, you never need to care your games.

Put the kit in your secure container, then do two runs, that's the safest way, if you die you will still have the kit 😉

misty shard
#

yes but if i repaired the thing and then die it counts as losing the set of tools doesnt it

rose echo
#

Yes, but at least if killed whilst doing it you won't lose it

misty shard
#

oh ok

simple pendant
#

@misty shard If you die while repairing the set won´t be used up if you keep it in the safe containter

#

and if you die after only repairing one panel you still keep the progress

misty shard
#

ooh ok thats good

#

so i can just repair 1, die. repair second 1 and die

#

and mission completes?

rose echo
#

Are you sure @simple pendant I could of sworn you didn't thinking

misty shard
#

if i had a beta container id prob put the factory key in there and actually try to escape lol

simple pendant
misty shard
simple pendant
#

Just means you need a survived factory run if you die after placing both

rose echo
#

Yeah it doesn't say if you die it continues?

#

Oh brilliant, every day is a school day 😄

simple pendant
#

there are just 2 task I can think of rn where it resets the progress after you die

rose echo
#

Sorry @misty shard I am mistaken, @simple pendant is more experienced than me

simple pendant
#

one is delivery from the past and the other is the guide

misty shard
#

oh

#

so if i place both but die in each of the run

rose echo
#

Yeah I thought this did also, but to be honest I completed it first time myself so wasn't sure lol

misty shard
#

it wont complete until i just survive a factory run

rose echo
#

Yes it must be a survive @misty shard cannot be a run though, that much I am sure on lol 😄

misty shard
#

oof ok

#

so loot 1 body then make a run for it

rose echo
#

I generally kill 2 scavs then I am certain it will count

#

That's if I can find them, I had 4 run through's last night on Shoreline, as I just couldn't find ANYONE at all lol

simple pendant
#

if you are fast enough just run office in nightraid and loot the file cabinets and the safe

#

then rush out

signal crow
#

I'm a pretty new noob. Can anyone give some pointers on not getting lost? Is there a trick to it, or should I just keep playing until I've pretty much memorized where exits are?

rose echo
#

The wiki has some good maps @signal crow find landmarks to learn where you are and the extracts then 😃

signal crow
#

Thanks for the help! I just started playing customs and everything looks similar enough in the heat of the game and I get turned around. I think I need to slow down and learn the landmarks!

rose echo
#

Yeah it comes with practice, you will get there in the end

misty shard
#

i usually have a map open on my second monitor lol

signal crow
#

What's the best noob map to cut my teeth on?

rose echo
#

It depends on your playstyle really, a lot of players start on Factory for the PvP, but I stuck with Customs myself

misty shard
#

or u can do hatchling runs on lab to get used to the looting and running around in general, i did that

signal crow
#

hatchling runs is just melee only right?

rose echo
#

Yeah, that way you won't lose all of your gear straight away, or you could learn the maps offline

#

You can always request Sherpa assistance also, we will do some raids with you, help complete tasks, learn the extracts etc etc

signal crow
#

This community is awesome. I appreciate the help.

ancient creek
#

but, offline mode is way better for learning map imo

signal crow
#

Sorry for the list of questions. If I'm doing hatchling runs. Should I bring a bag or any other gear? Or just a hatchet?

simple pendant
#

just hatched and you put any valuable loot you find inside the secure container

rose echo
#

Up to you, but generally hatchet runs mean nothing with you

simple pendant
#

but be aware that a big part of the community isn´t really happy with hatchlings

#

and bsg doesn´t really like it too

signal crow
#

That's what I've gathered.

#

I'll try to avoid the hatchet runs then. I'll do offline scouting sessions and bare bone runs.

modern pilot
#

ive done 21 interchange runs at night to find kiba 1 and it hasnt spawned once

#

anyone know the % of key spawns?

#

someone has to have datamined it by now

split vapor
#

iirc wiki did have spawn chances but I don’t see them now. tbh it was easier getting the 50 milk over running the key

modern pilot
#

thanks for the info

foggy yoke
#

How do I become better as a PMC? I tend to do pretty good raids as scavs but then I usually get killed as a PMC.. I know, I'm everyone's enemy when I'm a PMC, but there has to be more to this.

#

If you're going to troll and say "git gud" or be an arsehole in other ways, fuck off.

bitter venture
#

That's about all there is to it though. You're gunna die a lot more than you don't/

foggy yoke
#

Are you sure? Because I die nearly all the time which is not normal.

bitter venture
#

No that's normal

foggy yoke
#

You sure? Because I tend to see a few same successful people kill me usually when I'm a PMC.

bitter venture
#

They died a lot too

#

You'll get wise to it

foggy yoke
#

And on top of that.. Lots of people survive more.. Someone I talked to even had a 30% survival rate, not normal at all.

#

Initially, but not the whole time.

#

I think my survival rate was 9% or something.. That's how much I die.

#

As a PMC.

bitter venture
#

That's...still dying pretty much all the time

foggy yoke
#

What? I'm telling you no one else has that..

#

I talked to someone who even has a 30% survival rate which is impossible for me.

#

Sorry, I meant nearly no one.

split vapor
#

My sr is only 18% thanks the quest grind for lvl 40

bitter venture
#

Yeah, and they're still statistically fucked every time they raid

foggy yoke
#

How if the rate is 30%? What?

bitter venture
#

...because they die 70% of the time?

foggy yoke
#

Well you said every time.

#

So I assumed it meant most.

#

Not majorily.

plucky goblet
#

@split vapor mine is 46 thanks to also grinding quests
git gud

foggy yoke
#

However @split vapor, I doubt I can even do that..

#

Of course you had to be a dick, great.

split vapor
#

Chris is a duck

foggy yoke
#

I didn't do anything to hurt you.

split vapor
#

Dick

foggy yoke
#

Oh right.

bitter venture
#

this game rewards being a dick

foggy yoke
#

Of course this community is full of them unfortunately.

#

I just mean the community, not the game.

bitter venture
#

this community is great wtf you on about lol

plucky goblet
#

whatever just happened

split vapor
#

Like cat oh wait he got banned lol

foggy yoke
#

What?

#

And @bitter venture, people were arseholes to me quite a few times for no reason.

#

That's why it feels rather shit to me.

bitter venture
#

it's the internet

split vapor
#

Don’t blame 13k people for actions of 3

#

Also real world

foggy yoke
#

But you said the community is good?

#

I'm talking about this online community.

#

Not people in general.

bitter venture
#

+plus you're in a group about a game that encourages you to be a dick

foggy yoke
#

Sorry, I should've clarified.

bitter venture
#

and even at that this group is pretty great

foggy yoke
#

Unfortunately, it isn't for people like me it seems.

#

I ask for help and then someone fucking becomes mean towards me.

#

What the fuck??

bitter venture
#

No one was being mean to you

#

That was the answer

split vapor
#

Geared group sees me as a crash axeling. Me waves and waits for them to turn around while I pull out my aku with a drum mag from my gamma and gun them down

bitter venture
#

You're going to die a fuckton before you get wise to why you're dying a fuckton

foggy yoke
#

They have, I can show other examples @bitter venture/

#

Well now I know because you and a couple of others actually helped me.

plucky goblet
#

@split vapor ans that's why you shoot all hatchlings

foggy yoke
#

And how is saying "git gud" not mean?

#

Its indicating that I'm horrible at this for no reason.

split vapor
#

That’s rude to kill hatchlings Chris

bitter venture
#

well you're in the noob section asking for help so yeah, you're not good, that's why we're here

foggy yoke
#

Why not just tell me to get used to the game?

plucky goblet
#

I mean, it wasn't directed at you and it also wasn't meant serious to the person it was directed at lmao

bitter venture
#

also fuckken hatchlings ate my dog

foggy yoke
#

You realise there's different ways to tell people stuff right?

split vapor
#

We where all shit when we first got the game

foggy yoke
#

Oh fuck, sorry @plucky goblet.. It sounded like that.

#

Yeah, but it doesn't give people to excuse to be arseholes about it.

#

*the excuse

split vapor
#

Chris is an ass irl

bitter venture
#

no one here is being an ass

split vapor
#

That’s just him

bitter venture
#

except chris

#

fuck that guy

foggy yoke
#

Chris was talking about someone else.

#

He clarified what happened.

plucky goblet
#

I even pinged Shoot

foggy yoke
#

For some reason.. I thought you did that to show him this or something.

#

Sorry.

split vapor
#

I’ll ping you with my garand you germ

bitter venture
#

totally unrelated, i bought this game because i thought shoreline looked cool

#

god i fucking hate shoreline

foggy yoke
#

Its okay.

split vapor
#

Shoreline is mean

bitter venture
#

omg right

#

it's just nothing and then bam

#

or it's just nothing and then nothing

plucky goblet
#

i like it

split vapor
#

Chris go get a normal pfp

plucky goblet
#

bitter venture
#

plucky goblet
#

I'm getting ready for school

#

bitter venture
#

that was bssssss game

quartz oar
#

so uhm........whats the best way to compleet Stirrup

bold kernel
#

I told you already, if you want to focus on PVP to get such a quest done you´ve got to go play Factory or Labs and you better invest some gear to have a higher success rate

quartz oar
#

I tried to do shoreline....with a mosin but it did not work out T~T

#

I really don't like small maps like factory i always die..

#

But fine ill feed in factory for day X~X

quartz oar
#

Yeah....never mind this wont work stupid quest , guess ill just not complete that stupid quest and just play as a scav X~X

rancid fractal
#

I'm on the same quest, but Factory is now basically always empty for me since the latest big update. Everyone is playing Interchange and Shoreline

#

And labs of course

#

Asia region

quartz oar
#

I just had people in factory.....but i did more then 250 damage and stil someone without armor did not die xD

rancid fractal
#

Did it tell you where you got the damage?

#

I can't remember if it tells you where you received damage or dealt it

quartz oar
#

at the end of the game

#

lol

#

it says damage dealt to body

#

damage obsorbed by armor

#

hits that hit, ammo spent and bla bla..

#

guy ran out in the open, fired my ak clip, did damage he turns around shoot me once i'm dead =-= i even had a helmet and a 50k costly vest...=-= just meah....thoi think scav's is more fun to play now anyway....more fun to gain things to lose it super players X~X

vital axle
#

u died cos u called a magazine clip

quartz oar
#

Not a gunnut sorry Shruggs lol

brisk mortar
#

This late in a wipe, unless your helmet is a Atlyn, Maska with face plate, or Ops-core with SLAPP, it's not gonna protect you.

modern pilot
#

Just saved a hatchet runner from a scav that had an ak74n let him keep the weapon and gave him a half used ifac. if you are in this discord hit me up for a real raid lol

uncut spindle
#

yeah i am thx dude

modern willow
#

Any tips for Interchange? I just seem to get rekt by people hiding in the shops that I can't see/hear

split vapor
#

pistol in case drop a scav or two take their crap and be a sneaky bitch and suprise people or go all in

simple pendant
#

nightraids is my tip

#

almost no one there

split vapor
#

also those are fun

#

I've got a nice inter night set up

modern willow
#

I never do nightraid cause I can't see crap and I'm a pussy. :c

split vapor
#

nvgs

#

like i just did a pistol on inter dropped one scav with a saiga carbine and used that for another 12 ai, but no killa was sad

modern willow
#

But they cost a tonne right? I dunno if it justifies me bringing it if I'm gonna be tapped by some cheeki breeki scav squatting in IDEA

split vapor
#

theres the cheapy nvg from ski

#

they are uh useable

modern willow
#

Yea, I did that too but I just seem to find any Scav to kill in Interchange

#

I find one or two sometimes

#

But usually they're ded

split vapor
#

give it a few minutes and more like alot will

modern willow
#

Like, really, really ded cause the chonkies were rushing for Kiba

#

Or they're hunting for Killa

split vapor
#

like ive just been doing a handful of scav raids on inter about 2m all profit rn

modern willow
#

Fair enough, I just never have that luck in Interchange
