I don't believe the wiki specifies anything about the manager's office glass.
It isn´t mentioned because it is not bulletproof
well it was mentioned. but propably removed
I just checked every revision on the page and it was never mentioned on the wiki
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
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
but i read it once too...?
Best way say the glass that doesn’t shatter will weaken the overall energy and effective of the round
Also, is there any reason why I don't see anybody carrying Glock? Are they that inefficient over the TT or Makarov?
most people use what they prefer
Price to performance isn't good on the stock models
@patent crystal @bold kernel you waiting for a sherpa?
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
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.
Stechkin so fun
I prefer APS/APB
If glock wouldn´t be so big with the big mags I would probably prefer that
What settings should I use on offline mode to practise shootin the bots?
Do you mean difficulty wise @jovial heath ?
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 😉
Gotcha, I'll set them both to "as online" for now then
Holy shit you just get cut up without good armour
Yeah armour is a must really lol
How can I get the dough to afford it with regularity?
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
@jovial heath you only need to train "as online" difficulty. Players will behave completely different anyway and can be everywhere compared to scavs
Having rouble getting the room 306 key in factory
Is that a high priority item for people to grab when spawning in?
San 306? It is a task key, so can sell for a bit
Yeah, I seem to keep being dropped in five minutes after start and it's not there
uhh so gamepedia wiki loosk really weird rn so i cant check this but uhh what does this want me to do
Gamepedia is busted right now
Is that the key you need @bitter venture ?
Yeah, trying to do medical privacy 2
Oh sorry that is the west side one, yes
Yeah need west side, have east side
Ah sorry I sold mine lol
@misty shard prapor rep needs to rise by 0.3 afaik
There we go, got it, thanks guys
Nice!
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.
Hey @foggy yoke, what are your PC specs?
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.
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 
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
I'm good thanks, it is 5am here though so just lurking here and there really. Hope you're well also?
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.
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 
Yeah it is but thanks though :) I'd like to be friends with you potentially also, you seem like a good person.
Thanks man, likewise. Feel free to DM me anytime.
No worries and thanks also, you made me a bit better at about myself too.
But yeah I will.
Meah.....i still cant fix my economy T~T
@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.
Holy shit bestow unto me your wisdom
@jovial heath did pm you, i hope i was able to help you
@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
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.

Can someone explain what Tagged and cursed, Bosses and Scav war is?
@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
ok thnx
your welcome
So the ai from .6 they added for tagged basically
@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
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
@neat grove I have a sherpa request! what is happening whit it? pls don't ignore me!
are these worth anythingm ?
The same As a mosin
I just bought the game yesterday (noob) who can help me out I usually be on weekends and during the week after nine eastern standard times.
hey guys i got this game for a while never really played it anyone can help me out?
@slim trellis where are you from?
netherlands/eu
can you speak german?
@neat grove ok
When do you want to?
I'll be off tonight after 9 if you are available @neat grove
@slim trellis ?
no i dont speak german @simple pendant also not palying anymore atm
Can someone explain fragmentation to me?
When a bullet hits you, it has a chance to fragment and it does 50% bonus damage
that was the short explanation
So in the game terms, is it good or bad then?
Gotcha
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
Just like Dark Souls
dark souls players do tend to have their gfs stolen
Kek
gonna quit this game for good today, its just not worth it
I accept my death when I hear some chonk with suppressed M4 or RPK in factory
Or lab
yet when I try to go in geared i get fucked
guy finds my IP fucks my wife too
wish i could get a refund for this piece of shit
found the tilter
go and do something else and start over tomorow
your performance will only go down if you are mad
hi
Dat rage
@versed estuary hey
this channel is for finding sherpal assistance or belly aching about the game?
Kinda both
First one
Mostly finding help
if you want to rant you can go into another channel ^^
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
I have question for close combat
Acog/Spectr/Valday/Bravo
@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
I know that, but he was like 5-10m away
Made no sense that accuracy is that bad while moving
really hurts recoil control
maybe you died before you could shoot back?
he hit better then
or used better ammo
or was better protected
many variables
shooting first isnt the deciding factor
thorax/head, armor, ammo type
actually hitting
- luck 😛
And gotcha, thanks @neat grove
did he thorax you
If I met someone very close, like 5-20 meters, do I need to shoot while moving or just stand still/crouch/prone?
@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
Shoulda try that, thanks
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
think i'll just wait for wipe to play
why not learn the map and do the early taks so you know what you have to do next time?
combat part is the hardest one for me
already know most maps, and made all traders level 2
Same
like, mid range is ok since it happens a lot
but close range was very rare for me
especially moving target
you try point firing?
lol
Jesus, there's no way to go toe to toe with the raiders is there
U think a Nvidia Quadro P5000 is good for EFT?
@modern willow there is, but not if there are multiple
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
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 😄
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
aks-74u, mp153, ak105, ak104, hk416 and some other
@modern willow normally you hear them before you see them
Yea I kinda do. But man they aim so fast and just blams me without having any time to react
Armour or no armour
If you hear them coming, get in a good position and pre aim, then BAM, you win 😛
armor class 3 or 4 is mostly enough agaisnt raider since they have mostly PS rn
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
Have someone to watch your back also, as placing it takes a while
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
Use the sv-98 instead of the tt
I had both
yea should have just shot him
He snuck up behind me while I was moving down onto the beach
Well, I was being naive
So I guess that's a lesson learned
That means I gotta buy a new one right?
@modern willow you spawned on shoreline didnt ya
Yeah
Yeah people are going for the 20 pmc kill quest
You wont have any kind of luck on that there
But the quest needs to be done there isn't it
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.
To be honest wiggle or not I'm still gonna shoot lol
^
But why :c
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

I was the same in DayZ "Hey I'm friendly!" BANG... "I'm not..."
GG man!
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
@modern willow if you need some help playing i'd guide you 😃 i always look for ways to avoid contact
Anyone got server down error?
Scheduled maintenance
Weird said it was scheduled for Germany
how does one learn the maps lol
Easy way play the map, wiki also has maps
@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
^ it's the way
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
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?
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
But BS has significantly higher penetration than PP.. Should just do more damage even to unamoured characters no?
this is ammo chart
I'm working off of that one
if unarmored, PP gives more damage, since PP = 46, BS = 40
but for armored, BS would be much better
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
Im currently using Mosin
vest is not needed, nice dmg
cheap
or Vepr is also good
Problem with me is my aim is shit, if I don't one tap I'm going down due to the reload time
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
Mosin is always bolt action right?
That's with good aim though?
for PMC, yea. for Scav, not really
Fair enough
Just been trying to kill raiders with a mosin
8 games in a row, I think I killed 2
Raiders = PMC?
no, super scavs
better scav
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
That's my concern
I really surprised about Raider AI doe
I also struggle with optics, they never quite seem to hit right for me
I think some of the optics are off depending on game FOV?
Is that what it is?
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
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
for AK-74, PP. for Mosin, LPS Gzh
ok, I'll try the lps gzh again
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.
Ah, that explains why my headshots always hit them in the chest
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.
^noticed this with teh mosin and a couple of the shotguns
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
Yeah, that makes sense
Here is the old FOV bug if you're curious.
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?
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)
ah, it arcs up then down
^ 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.
That's good information, it is actually about learning the arc below and above 50m
Now I just have to get good at judging 50m in game lol
haha yes
That one I'm not sure how to read
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.
ooooohhhhh
From there you zero.
So scav @150m
Mhmm
It takes some practice, but if you can "recall" your longest shot, it will help you get better
But that's for scopes, optics not so much
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
Fair enough
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
Good work, really appreciate it
No problem, raid safe , don't get fustrated.
While the game pushes hard , it's best to be silly every so often.
imo*
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
Keep that mindset and you'll do great.
anyways, I'm off to the night, if you all need anything, shoot me a pm.
Tower, I feel like you're gonna have a field day once group offline is a thing
: D you have no idea...
Have a good night, appreciate the help
Mikh, I might share some secrete sauce with you about leading moving targets for head shots on the run <<
its about 80 % effective atm, but I've gotten other folk to start landing hits on runners
(left to right)
(right to left etc etc)
I normally have no problems with it, it's only when latency is a factor
Lag, strength , and kit weight are things that I'm working on dealing with
walkers however--- seem to be uniform.
fffff you got me chatting again Mikh :T I gonna go.
Best map to scav computer parts for Mechanic?
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
Interchange scares me a bit, might run shoreline
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.
does he really...
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.
I'll have to try that sometime
I'mma go run shoreline and see how it works out
I've got a fair set of keys

Hah, I actually managed to survive a labs run!
@rancid fractal well done, to know the path to the good exists is key on labs
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
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
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.
yeah, I get that a lot. The being unlucky bit 😛
sometimes they seem to tank an extreme amount of damage on their chest
no matter what round ur using
I've noticed in some of the normal scavs on the other maps seem invincible at times
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
wow, that's crazy
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
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
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
they're*
yup
if they apply to much pressure, a granade can help as well
when they flee from a nade they forget almost anything
Ok, that's good to know. Although I am terrible with my grenade throws, haha
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
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!
ur welcome
Where do folks find magnets and intelligence folders? I never seen them at all
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?
i have picked up intel folders off the conference table on labs
damnit, getting popped by a dumb scav from down the hallway while geared
feels bad
@bitter venture u got tarkoved, shit happens, just keep going and never lose hope!
Apb vs glock 18c?
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
Yeah, I was leaning towards that because at least I get punchier ammo than the 9mm Para?
Also do folks here use reshade?
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
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
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
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.
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
@modern willow Check screenshots in a sec
Okay!
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
And yeah, I mean against anyone with decent armor it's not gonna work.
i still love pistols in this game, they are fun to run on labs, im looking forward to the 1911 a lot
Why need a 1911 when you have TT
.45 has a lot of different quirky ammo
wonder if they will enable dual wield pistols just for a laugh then take it away
Considering how stupid it is, I don't think so.
I'd love to dual wield on factory.
they probably never going to introduce this, but it would be crazy for sure, maybe even fun as an event

dual g18s tracers factory
dual 1911, in silver with tracers
oo .45 win mag
What do you even request a Sherpa for?
No, I mean what is the purpose
@neat grove
Help, in game.
for help if you're new to the game
Learn to read reeee

Loads 1911
california laughs in no gun rights
Wot
Does the Saiga 9 always have such a weird point of impact?
whatcha mean volk
I have to aim low for it to hit high
Huh?
are you missing the sight
Was aiming at a Scav, the bullet landed higher than him, so I have to aim a lot lower
Need both Rear and front sights
Mind double checking to see if Zeroing still "doesn't " effect POI? Last I checked it didn't @split vapor
for iron sights****
Iron sights don't zero in real life either do they? At least not most. I know some AK can
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
i could be wrong but aren´t some weapons zeroed to 25 a base?
the carbine has the single zero distance of 50m
@modern willow you where mostly likely missing the rear sight for the saiga 9 carbine
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
welignore that
that was jsut me spaming it from that range
Those where the first two shots top is well no rear sight and bottom is bsaically dead on
Both aiming at the same point
I remember when mosin could have no rear sight and clap people
Actually I think it had no sights 🤔
Iirc
I went into the raid with the Saiga 9 without the rear sight
oofie
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
The PP-19?
no on their ak's
Ah ok
Also pro-tip, never take off the stock for the Saiga 12k, it's really a bad idea lol
well yeah
its a bad idea to take any stock off
^
unless you want a tiny tiny gun
2x2 gamma mp5
Does crawling make more sounds?
As in, more sound than crouch-walking?
crawling is really loud
crawling sounds super loud but im not sure the differnce from a distance
@neat grove every iron sight I know of has some form of zeroing, many might not be "field adjustable" but most can be zero'd
i meant field adjustable
(the expection bein like trench / gutter sights
like the ak has that thing that you can slide
the most quiet you can be is slow walk+crouch+turn very slow
The Luger CCI is basically HP ammo right?
pretty much
luger does some damage over armor
but always dump on the face
I use Luger CCI only in pistols. But that's rare since my main pistol is the TT
I always use Pst Gzh in SMGs
I looted some dude with a stack of Luger ammo
Contemplating on selling it and swap to PST
Not as much as RIP tho
Like 120 rounds worth of Luger
shhh I prefer mine Shootemup It explains how it acts more.
@modern willow what gun tho
Ah Glaser, I remember that in JA2
they kinda the same thing jsut that glaser in enclosed over the shot
Oh, it was an MPX
but tower it shoots like a bullet, not a shotgun
its a joke u absolute potato
So what's the point of it in EFT tho
Like, should I stick back to PST for general shooty
pst gets it done
PST does get it done.
ToWeR
Point of it in EFT is legs
thank you
pst does indeed get thy done
CCi's in eft just do more flesh dmg, legs and hatchling repellent more or less
with things like the mp5 it's pretty good at leg meta
but so is sp7 from the klin or kedr
Hatchling repellent I am calling flesh damage rounds that now
I mean... Hatchling repellent lmao
Didn't work so well on the guy I looted tho
His MPX was using the Luger CCI against the raiders
Also, what the heck is with this weird bug? I threw a grenade and when I am on my gun, it refused to fire?
@stone tartan hello
You pinged a random guy named admin
ok
Hello
Hey there
Ok
I'm trying to make Noisy's life easier
Should I keep any of these for decent barters, are should I just sell it all?
you can sell the golden phone
and think about what you would play with and keep those
sell the rest or barter it and sell the bartered item if it is worth more
sell everything to therapist
Ok. Thanks. Been keeping hold of them while I try to farm LL with the traders but they take up too much space when on raid
That's what I started doing @split vapor but then realised I was losing out of a lot of money on some of the items
True
Would be nice to be able to open containers instead of having to move the items again to sell
How do I change servers on the launcher? I can't because on the ping section, it says "ERROR" on every server :/
My internet connection is just fine, I don't know why its happening.
You can´t choose servers that have a ping of >150
That's not the point, I can't change to any server.
and the pings are under 150?
Where do I go to report a huge problem about the game?
The ERROR stuff does not let me join a server...
Please look at this so you can understand what I mean. I can't change to any server at all.
Go to the support section @versed sinew or use this this if you got ignored like me.
@versed sinew above the "play" button on the launcher
@foggy yoke you should also post in #547868292686151695
they will come to you
Damiano and mathieu respond to every single ticket
in the last time the support is overloaded with requests
they are great at it
You sure about that? I posted on there a couple of times befofre and they never got back to me.
*before
I'm positive
Well I don't get how I got ignored there and then I get a response on here.
#beginners-assistance isn't for troubleshooting server issues
I know but I was desperate :/
I really need to fix this because I cannot find a match.
not even with auto(oce)
Shit's screwing up again.
They dont reply instantly
I know its not instant.
Too be fair. No-one ever answered my support ticket through this Discord. Report it through the launcher and they reply real quick. Just remember to check spam/jumk folder
I meant a couple of times before, they never ever got back to me.
EXACTLY.
Oh never mind, sorry.. I didn't read it all.
But I'll try that.
You have to go back to the channel it Creates, they don't pm you
Yeah, I tried that, but it was when they just added the option and I could never get the channel to show anything
I get it, but I got ignored before so it'll probably happen again..
Well I weren't answered a couple of times, I'm not lying.
I get it, you're trying to make this place look perfect.
Then why lie about that? Even someone else said they got ignored.
That's what I'm doing on the launcher since this won't work.
don´t create multiple tickets
I made one.
One on Discord and one on the launcher, are they related or?
Sorry if they are, but beforehand.. I was told the launcher support works MUCH better than here which is why I did it.
tbh I don´t know if they are
Discord and Launcher tickets are not linked @foggy yoke no
Ah good.
hey, just a question, what is the difference between matching status and waiting for players
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
thanks
@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
@simple pendant thank you
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.
are there any other scopes that swap zoom like ELCAN and HHS-1 do?
1x to 4x or 1x to whatever
I think TAC 30 was also changing from 1X to 4X?
not sure
Low karma on TomCatxXx
joining random squad, killing teammates on sight.
never play random
I love the valday, it produces no light, which is great when using NVG´s
Does anyone need help with their quests? Like some in game support to get an item extracted? Feel free to PM me for help.
Fractures yes
A good ol rub of vaseline will also heal fractures (for some ungodly reason)
Uh no some guns have a chance to fracture a body part
They are 10 use med items
Nope
Only way to run
If you want to
They have different durations
That too
Ibuprofen apparently lasts 600 seconds
And painkillers are 230
But i swear there is some kind of second force behind the duration
Cause it doesnt always feel like they last that long
I could be wrong tho
Just my mind playing tricks on me :p
@neat grove @steady pilot golden star also refills energy (for when you chest is blacked through bleeding)
@winter prism sometimes when you get shot you can also break limbs
where? read it 3 times now and you only said broken bones
I edited it
Nakerdaja asked if fracture only happened when falling off. I said no, guns can fracture your legs too
Quick question while i make dinner tho, How big is the difference between Ak-74 ammo and m4's?
Because i try and use a m4 it feels performance wise quite bad compared to other people that can simple delete me with it hahaha
5.45x39 : Damage 40, Pen 50 (BS, the best you buy)
5.56xx45: Damage Damage 42, Pen 53 (M995)
I see...i dont have M995 unless i buy some off flea market..
the difference between the best and second best 5.56 is huge
So....don't get m4 unless you can splash the cash on the good ammo?
basically
Are sherpas available on demand, or do you need to book them?
Got some friends that are new to tarkov, and I'm not sure how to teach them the game to be honest.
Little bit of column a, little bit of column b. I think if one happens to be available to help they will, otherwise you gotta be on when your local sherpa is.
As for teaching, just do what I did. Tell them all the stuff you learned the hard way, then drag them through combat until they get the jist of it.
They can ask in here @vocal cipher and then we can arrange it via the website so that they get some gear to help them
Alright,
@vocal cipher if you are from europe I have time today
Yeah I'm from England, i'll check if they're online
The Army Bag is so bad even as a scav backpack, why people even bother bartering soap for it?
because they risked picking it up
you don't
@devout umbra Rn BSG doesn´t taker cheater reports, you will probably see them on the next ban list
Btw anyone noticed any changes with the recent updates? Cause i haven't noticed anything better with my performance or stability, wondering if it's just me or anyone else?
Just a little less stutter, but still have them at critical firefight moment
there definitly have been some improvements in some locations and certain stuff being fixed, but the biggest performance impact is still about to be dropped with EFT being ported to the new Unity engine
How will it look compare to the previous one?
¯_(ツ)_/¯
🤷
Just a hunch, but I am thinking... better? lol 😄
Wheee i fixed my m4 problem ^~^
Having the superior rounds really do in fact change alot X~X
Which rounds do you use?
I use the m995 now instead of the M856 and 55 FMJ i was using xD
Now that i checked all my other mags and other calibers i kinda fixed it all using that wiki yes xD
for me it is m995 or nothing
Same.
I learned the hard way..
Ay, but now you know
Lost a m4 because my bullets could not remove a scav out of play T~T
How far?
If you try to hit something 50m+ use burst fire or even single shot if you can´t hit anything otherwise
or try proning
that reduces recoil by a lot
I dont know when something is +50 lol
Then just always do that when you are not sure or just know you won´t hit more than the first shot
I will! back to scav hunting at "I'm a free kill" Shoreline xD
does anyone know if u need to successfully extract for Farming Part 1 for the repair to count?
Yes you need to survive and exit @misty shard
damn
lets say if i repaired the panels, it uses up my set of tools right?
but if i die i lose tools and the progress?
Correct and yes, you would need a new kit and to redo it
aw darn its harder than i thought then lol
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 😉
yes but if i repaired the thing and then die it counts as losing the set of tools doesnt it
Yes, but at least if killed whilst doing it you won't lose it
oh ok
@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
ooh ok thats good
so i can just repair 1, die. repair second 1 and die
and mission completes?
Are you sure @simple pendant I could of sworn you didn't 
if i had a beta container id prob put the factory key in there and actually try to escape lol
its the last sentence that confused me lol
Just means you need a survived factory run if you die after placing both
Yeah it doesn't say if you die it continues?
Oh brilliant, every day is a school day 😄
there are just 2 task I can think of rn where it resets the progress after you die
Sorry @misty shard I am mistaken, @simple pendant is more experienced than me
one is delivery from the past and the other is the guide
Yeah I thought this did also, but to be honest I completed it first time myself so wasn't sure lol
it wont complete until i just survive a factory run
Yes it must be a survive @misty shard cannot be a run though, that much I am sure on lol 😄
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
if you are fast enough just run office in nightraid and loot the file cabinets and the safe
then rush out
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?
The wiki has some good maps @signal crow find landmarks to learn where you are and the extracts then 😃
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!
Yeah it comes with practice, you will get there in the end
i usually have a map open on my second monitor lol
What's the best noob map to cut my teeth on?
It depends on your playstyle really, a lot of players start on Factory for the PvP, but I stuck with Customs myself
or u can do hatchling runs on lab to get used to the looting and running around in general, i did that
hatchling runs is just melee only right?
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
This community is awesome. I appreciate the help.
but, offline mode is way better for learning map imo
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?
just hatched and you put any valuable loot you find inside the secure container
Up to you, but generally hatchet runs mean nothing with you
but be aware that a big part of the community isn´t really happy with hatchlings
and bsg doesn´t really like it too
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.
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
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
thanks for the info
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.
That's about all there is to it though. You're gunna die a lot more than you don't/
Are you sure? Because I die nearly all the time which is not normal.
No that's normal
You sure? Because I tend to see a few same successful people kill me usually when I'm a PMC.
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.
That's...still dying pretty much all the time
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.
My sr is only 18% thanks the quest grind for lvl 40
Yeah, and they're still statistically fucked every time they raid
How if the rate is 30%? What?
...because they die 70% of the time?
@split vapor mine is 46 thanks to also grinding quests
git gud
However @split vapor, I doubt I can even do that..
Of course you had to be a dick, great.
Chris is a duck
I didn't do anything to hurt you.
Dick
Oh right.
this game rewards being a dick
Of course this community is full of them unfortunately.
I just mean the community, not the game.
this community is great wtf you on about lol
whatever just happened
Like cat oh wait he got banned lol
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.
it's the internet
But you said the community is good?
I'm talking about this online community.
Not people in general.
+plus you're in a group about a game that encourages you to be a dick
Sorry, I should've clarified.
and even at that this group is pretty great
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??
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
You're going to die a fuckton before you get wise to why you're dying a fuckton
They have, I can show other examples @bitter venture/
Well now I know because you and a couple of others actually helped me.
@split vapor ans that's why you shoot all hatchlings
And how is saying "git gud" not mean?
Its indicating that I'm horrible at this for no reason.
That’s rude to kill hatchlings Chris
well you're in the noob section asking for help so yeah, you're not good, that's why we're here
Why not just tell me to get used to the game?
I mean, it wasn't directed at you and it also wasn't meant serious to the person it was directed at lmao
also fuckken hatchlings ate my dog
You realise there's different ways to tell people stuff right?
We where all shit when we first got the game
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
Chris is an ass irl
no one here is being an ass
That’s just him
I even pinged Shoot
I’ll ping you with my garand you germ
totally unrelated, i bought this game because i thought shoreline looked cool
god i fucking hate shoreline
Its okay.
Shoreline is mean
i like it
Chris go get a normal pfp
no u
But I do
no you don't
and git a job ya hippie
that was bssssss game
so uhm........whats the best way to compleet Stirrup
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
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
Yeah....never mind this wont work stupid quest , guess ill just not complete that stupid quest and just play as a scav X~X
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
I just had people in factory.....but i did more then 250 damage and stil someone without armor did not die xD
Did it tell you where you got the damage?
I can't remember if it tells you where you received damage or dealt it
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
u died cos u called a magazine clip
Not a gunnut sorry Shruggs lol
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.
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
yeah i am thx dude
Any tips for Interchange? I just seem to get rekt by people hiding in the shops that I can't see/hear
pistol in case drop a scav or two take their crap and be a sneaky bitch and suprise people or go all in
I never do nightraid cause I can't see crap and I'm a pussy. :c
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
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
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
give it a few minutes and more like alot will
Like, really, really ded cause the chonkies were rushing for Kiba
Or they're hunting for Killa
like ive just been doing a handful of scav raids on inter about 2m all profit rn
Fair enough, I just never have that luck in Interchange
