#

i mean have you gotten the watch yet or do you die before you get there

little compass
#

havent even gotten the watcj

karmic garden
#

Have you got the key?

little compass
#

yeah

sonic lake
#

what do you do on raid start

#

do you just sprint to the location or wait around a bit

little compass
#

kinda botrh

crystal arch
#

cautiously sprint towards your goal

karmic garden
#

Play that mission on a quiet server. Customs on a busy server is pretty... sporty...

crystal arch
#

:P

sonic lake
#

i just fuckin booked it and nobody was there when i got there got in got out

little compass
#

like ill head there rq then wait then go a little further then wait

#

idk where any extractons really are on customs so I have to take the time to look them up

sonic lake
#

opposite end

karmic garden
#

@little compass go to the launcher, select server, filter by matching time and pick the one with the longest matching time that has <150 ping

little compass
#

ik where like the RUAF extraction is and dorms vehicle extract

karmic garden
#

Also check out the maps in offline mode with a with the map on a second screen or your phone

little compass
#

offline mode?

#

bruh this is like all new to me

karmic garden
#

Spend an hour or two running them through and comparing against the map to get your bearings

crystal arch
#

yeah offline mode is a thing, you can take whatever you want in there and you won't lose it

#

you can still enable scavs

#

you won't gain any xp or loot from it though

karmic garden
#

Go pmc and as you're clicking through there's a checkbox for offline mode

sonic lake
karmic garden
#

It's great for learning the maps

little compass
#

where at?

karmic garden
#

Click the one you want to play

little compass
#

ok

crystal arch
#

press next twice

little compass
#

i see that I dont have a map

crystal arch
#

just press next again

#

it's fine

karmic garden
#

You don't need an ingame map

little compass
#

oh

karmic garden
#

They're useless

crystal arch
#

the saddest thing in tarkov

#

someone spent time making those maps

karmic garden
little compass
#

I actually bought the customs map

#

but then sold it

#

after 5 min

crystal arch
#

lmao

karmic garden
little compass
#

so you cant do any quests in offline?

crystal arch
#

nope

#

no progress whatsoever, it's just practice

karmic garden
#

You can do the quests but they don't count

little compass
#

if you die when you have scavs on do you lose your stuff?

crystal arch
#

no

#

don't lose anything, don't gain anything

karmic garden
#

Whatever happens in offline mode doesn't actually happen

little compass
#

and if you just start dumping your mags it doesnt wast4e ammo?

#

oh nice

crystal arch
#

exactly

little compass
#

ig im gonna try out my m4

karmic garden
#

Show us a screenshot of the inspect screen on that m4 @little compass

sonic lake
#

its got the kac

#

a h

#

kac foregrip only adds ergos nothing to recoil

karmic garden
#

Lots of recoil for an m4

little compass
#

i just had an extra grip

karmic garden
#

Where did you get it @little compass

little compass
#

Modedd an adar

karmic garden
#

The gun I mean

#

Ok

#

Imo that's a poor m4

little compass
#

its bad?

karmic garden
#

Not your fault obv but I wouldn't use it

crystal arch
#

It's still an m4

#

but a well-modded m4 is basically a laser

karmic garden
#

Low ergo, high recoil. It is still an m4 but is probably a waste of money to raid with it

little compass
#

yeah im shooting this and its all over the place

karmic garden
#

These are the kind of stats you can get, but they're obviously expensive to achieve

#

(open in browser to read)

#

You don't need a super high spec gun, but you also don't want a low spec expensive gun

sonic lake
#

mdr is awesome tho ngl

little compass
#

i man considering I got that adar off a scav

sonic lake
#

great recoil and ergo

little compass
#

and then bought a 30k reciever

sonic lake
#

10/10 recommend running an mdr

little compass
#

all the attatchments I got fro free too

#

so 30k m4

karmic garden
#

You could sell the bits though and have a better gun. Or just use the adar

#

@sonic lake and they're pretty cheap too buy and mod

little compass
#

so if I kms in offline to just get out instead of extracting its ok

karmic garden
#

60k gun, 15k grip, 30k suppressors, whatever you want on a sight

crystal arch
#

you can also just disconnect I'm sure

karmic garden
#

@little compass just disconnect

sonic lake
#

mdr is great man i just put a pws on it, rk1, cobra sight works wonders.

little compass
#

so @karmic garden can you tell me how to get a better gun out of my m4?

karmic garden
#

@little compass one thing I would highly recommend is learn to point shoot (shoot without aiming down sight). It's super useful in tarkov and quite easy to learn. The centre of your screen is just up and left of the end of your gun model

little compass
#

i also had a laser on my m4

karmic garden
#

@little compass I would break it down, sell it, and run cheaper stuff while I'm very new

little compass
#

you have a mic right?

karmic garden
#

Me?

little compass
#

yeah

sonic lake
#

how to get a better m4? get hk lul

karmic garden
#

Yeah I do but I'm about to go work some overtime today

#

What timezone are you @little compass

little compass
#

mountain time

#

its 2 am

sonic lake
#

early morning gang

karmic garden
#

Is that USA

sonic lake
#

yes

little compass
#

if I call you rq could you just guide me through the process real fast if I screen share?

crystal arch
#

early morning gang who woke rn?

little compass
#

I wont be talking tho

sonic lake
#

woke af

#

fuckin labs man i love it but ive been so unlucky the past 10 raids

karmic garden
#

Not now dude, but we can raid together some time for sure

little compass
#

ight

karmic garden
#

Yeah the price is prohibitive

#

Unless you're a richboi

little compass
#

there are all of my m4s

karmic garden
#

Who goes to factory with full gen4, armoured rig, laser hk & glock 18c backup with a thicc case in his BP

#

And don't forget the modded out nvg airframe

#

@little compass they look close to bone stock

little compass
#

they basically are

#

gonna try to find a scav w an adar rq so that I could just use that if my m4s arent worth it

karmic garden
#

@little compass if you're under level 5, grind up to 5 so you can get the flea market and then worry about modding etc

little compass
#

I am level 5 exact I think

karmic garden
#

OK cool well

#

You can filter by item to see what people are selling things at

#

Beware of the scam priority orders at the top selling stuff for massively inflated prices

#

Don't sell modded guns as whole items, take them apart and sell the bits

#

Also don't buy pre-modded guns

little compass
#

ok

#

is ibuprofen good?

#

nice

#

so @karmic garden I should strip down and sell my m4's rn?

#

@sonic lake do you think I should?

karmic garden
#

@little compass tbh you could change the modding a bit if you want to use them

little compass
#

id rather use the adar rn if theyre that bad

karmic garden
#

Well you could make them less bad

#

I mean you already have the m4s

#

Swap the stocks out for magpul moe stocks, put the magpul rubber buttpad on the stocks, swap the grips out for zenit rk-1

#

That should only cost about 30k max iirc

little compass
#

I have 4 slots free in my stash rn

#

so thats gonna be hard storage wise

karmic garden
#

Take the pistol grips off the guns and the mags out

#

Saves a couple of slots

little compass
#

I did that w one already

#

ss stash?

#

oh lmao

sonic lake
#

F

karmic garden
#

Imo sell the armour you have and the backpacks

little compass
#

theres more

sonic lake
#

sell some of the aks74us in the bottom brotha

little compass
#

both of them?

karmic garden
#

Use something cheap like mbss rather than attack and beta as a noob

sonic lake
#

plain ak74 and aks74 y e e t e d

crystal arch
#

high ricochet chance tho

#

those helmets aren't bad for their pricepoint

sonic lake
#

aye

#

but if someone with ps tries

little compass
#

I got both of those from a scav raid

sonic lake
#

F

#

nah like hs man

little compass
#

so both of the aks74u's too?

#

should I strip the attatchments first or na

#

h

karmic garden
#

You don't need that alpha rig either or the killa or fort

#

Don't sell the expensive stuff to the AI traders tho

little compass
#

like 90% of my stash is from scav raids

karmic garden
#

@normal bear he'll do fine if he flea markets the armour

#

He's not going to have a reason to use class 5 for ages

#

That's not much though and the money he does get could be invested better. By the time he comes to use it, he'll surely have better stuff than heavily damaged killa and Fort

little compass
#

wait

#

like half of my discord messages just got deleted

#

rip

sonic lake
#

F

karmic garden
#

Plus they're taking up space he can't afford in his stash

little compass
#

spyder said something then it was gone

#

and kiry and crusty said some shit and thats gone too

sonic lake
#

i said ill take you to labs then i realized it was almost 4 in the morning and i need to sleep lol

karmic garden
#

@little compass

little compass
#

thanks

#

my discord prob just glitched

sonic lake
#

bruh this one raider had all the canned foods on his backpack tf

little compass
#

I wish you could screenshare in vc's

#

yeah im na

#

just need help on what to do

#

the best way for that is if I screenshare I feel

#

2:25 am

karmic garden
#

To me that armor has low value for him to use, but lots of potential value to use the cash it will generate for level appropriate gear

sonic lake
#

cool tip: put xrsu handguard on an aks74u gas tube, gamma it. itll give you a 1x1 slot for 1 foregrip, 2 tactical shits, 2 sights (1 big boi scope)

#

aye

#

my mans

#

i use it

#

it works

little compass
#

@normal bear and @sonic lake wanna get in a call so I can screenshare?

#

I cant really talk rn tho

sonic lake
#

why we screensharing lol

#

but ok

little compass
#

bc idk waht to do

sonic lake
#

aight then

little compass
#

spyder accept fr?

sonic lake
#

im not the best for financial decision bc i always mod shit out with hella kash and lose it or never use it but ill help

velvet flame
#

level 8 and got 50k left cant compeat with the fully kitted peeps

karmic garden
#

@velvet flame it's all about tactics and ammo

#

There are several types of ammo that basically ignore class 5

#

And otherwise a lot of it is about who spots the other guy first and can put down accurate fire before the opponent

#

You can always reset your account and start over

#

There's a wipe within the next few months anyway

velvet flame
#

I have a few guns even that new bullpup gun forgot what u call it just everytime I get in a raid I always encounter fully kitted groups

karmic garden
#

@velvet flame also do interchange loot runs as a hatchet to get your money back. Go in the front oli entrance and hit the stores texho, tech light, and Rasmussen

#

Lots of high value loot. Do it on quiet servers on night raids and run in as fast as you can

#

You can make millions per hour pretty easy

velvet flame
#

@karmic garden i haven't realy played interchange so still need to learn my way round i have gtg need to take mrs to work but thankyou for the help dude

karmic garden
#

Also find other people to play with, so the fully kitted group is you ๐Ÿ˜‰

#

@velvet flame it's pretty easy to learn, you'll be fine with it

#

Just try offline first

jade spruce
#

im pretty new and id be down for whatever

outer musk
#

Alright ill send you a friend request on discord

wary crane
#

Hey, can I join as well? I'm not completely new but I am also not the best either.

#

@outer musk

velvet flame
#

@karmic garden thanks dude!

karmic garden
#

@velvet flame np man ๐Ÿ˜

pallid oracle
#

hi looking for a helping hand. constantly running into a wall when trying to reach the truck for the second prapor quest (th one with the watch) any tips on getting in and out without getting completely demolished ?

somber basin
#

Two tips
Run it at night to reduce player count and give easier escapes

And go low gear, pistol only. Grab a scavenger on the way and use the free gear to exfil, with 0 risk

#

Or take a buddy in as escort

#

The quest itself isn't difficult, but customs is a linear map that throws players into each othet

fathom dirge
#

@pallid oracle

#

2 methods:

#
  1. go as hatchling in day/nighttime and just run through. After the 3rd or 4th try you will got it
#
  1. go in as hatchling at DAY, go afk for 30mins in a bush and do the quest.
karmic garden
#

Do it on a quiet server too

worthy fractal
#

how much health do people have? Because on the character page it says you have 435/435 but if that's the case then explain how a mosin can oneshot you if it's max damage bullet is "62" on the SNB

#

thank you

fathom dirge
#

easy to explain

#

thorax (chest) or head on 0

#

= dead

split vapor
#

SNB will kill someone with 1 to the head and 2 in the chest

fathom dirge
#

na

#

SNB takes usually 1 shot in the chest too

#

it depends

#

on armor/chance

split vapor
#

snb cant tho

#

7n1 best

dull pier
#

Your chest only has 80 hp so any round that does more than 80 dmg can 1 tap the chest

#

If your chest dies to anything other than bleeding then you die

#

Same with head

split vapor
#

SNB is good if you can always hit head and it will go through just about anything

#

7n1 one taps chest with lvl4 and can one tap lvl5 armor

dull pier
#

SNB will go through every armour class 99% of the time

split vapor
#

Yes

#

but doesnt one tap chest

dull pier
#

It only does like 65 dmg or something

cold owl
#

i am online for a while.
if anyone wants some advice just join me.

short trench
#

sort of new to the game, been doing scav runs trying to learn the map, anyone down to play later and teach me a few things

#

lol

hidden vale
#

hey, can anyone that's using reshade help me with something?

cold owl
#

@hidden vale
what do you want to know ?

@short trench sure

tiny scroll
#

@worthy fractal the wiki has a good explanation on what getting hit in a particular area does [like zeroing head/thorax will kill you, but not if it's bleed damage]

worthy fractal
#

thanks, I'll look into it

jade spruce
#

to do labs, does everyone have to have a keycard?

sonic lake
#

yes

#

but if you survive the payout is well worth

#

i hit up labs to replenish my cash guns and meds lol

jade spruce
#

how hard is it to survive?

sonic lake
#

eh depends for me its pretty easy

#

try it out on offline

#

watch pestily's video on killing raiders

#

imo the hardest part is getting the hang of the map

lost egret
#

so much knowledge here sweet baby jesus this game has layers to it! noob overload

brisk mortar
#

The game honestly isn't that hard friend.

#

If you psyche yourself out like that, it'll only make it harder to learn.

shell gulch
#

The game just has a ton of features, once you get map knowledge down, that's 1/2 the battle (just like any other FPS). The other half is knowing what gear to use when and getting used to aiming for the head.

abstract flax
#

Hey looking for help to get me better with maps and understand the traders more maybe do some raids too

severe python
#

who wants 2 mil?

tribal shale
#

i am beyond new, i just start this game right now.. and reading all the post

#

i read lots post says i should start solo in custom to familize with the key and stuff

#

is that right?

shell gulch
#

@tribal shale Customs is where your first trader quests are, so that's a good place to start

tribal shale
#

thx @shell gulch

trail helm
#

be ready to die a lot. it happens. lots of players are running around with more experience, better gear and such

#

hell even people just as geared die a lot

#

we all die a lot โค

shell gulch
#

Dying is the way of Tarkov, welcome to the fire ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

somber basin
#

@tribal shale Best to try on your own, get a feel for the game and how you may like to play it, then go in with someone who's played more to expand your knowledge and get an even better feel

#

The game, at its core, is squad based, so you're safer in squads by default

#

....... usually

tribal shale
#

kk i hear ya.. i guess everyone starting from standard edition right lol

shell gulch
#

Offline mode is a godsend, do it with scavs so you know where they spawn and get a feel for the gun mechanics. you don't lose gear in offline mode

tribal shale
#

kk

somber basin
#

If you bought a different game edition, it does change your stash size and what you start with at the moment. But with the hideout, you should be able to upgrade your stash to max easily, and I know a few EOD edition players who are bad enough to lose everything in the first two days of a wipe

#

They know who they are

tribal shale
#

i guess gona read and try offline mode first

somber basin
#

It's a good call, 0 risk involved, and you can find out where the exits are as you're going through

shell gulch
somber basin

#TarkoBible

tribal shale
#

nice ๐Ÿ˜„

bold rivet
#

yeah i always have that open in the background when i raid. good to dive into a bush when i get lost

livid siren
#

@severe python i think everyone wants two mil hahaha

tribal shale
#

oh i am reading aobut hide out, i think u gona need a while before u end up upgrading the little stash

shell gulch
#

Most likely, nobody really knows anything about the hideout or how it works as of yet

#

It's coming up in .12 patch, which has no ETA yet except soon

tribal shale
#

oh also people are talking about fullwipe every patch, what hack is that

split vapor
#

Starting from square 1

tribal shale
#

isnt that sux

split vapor
#

nah

shell gulch
#

When major patches come out, your progress gets wiped completely. The game is still in beta after all.

split vapor
#

Its needed

tribal shale
#

oh right, but been few years lol still in beta...

split vapor
#

Beta too, plus if they change items etc and people have different versions

#

conflicting things

tribal shale
#

right ... but seems to be hack a crazy beta ^__^

split vapor
#

games been out for 3 years and 2 are beta

shell gulch
#

It's a smaller development company, it'll take them 2-3 times as long as someone such as Ubisoft or EA, they don't have the budget or the personnel to just pump it out. Also those other big companies have another advantage, they aren't starting from square 1 like BSG

split vapor
#

100 some people too

#

hmm EA: Its in the mircotransactions

tribal shale
#

guess i be careful what i do in the game lol enjoy sight seeing and roaming around

split vapor
#

Dont bother wasting excess gear on doing quests

tribal shale
#

๐Ÿ‘Œ

split vapor
#

majority of the early tasks are kill a few scavs

#

grab this document and extract

#

etc

austere granite
#

Are there any good

#

value builds

shell gulch
#

Yes, DeadlySlob has a good build that's great for value

austere granite
#

Yeah? Got a link?

shell gulch
austere granite
#

yeet

#

thanks

shell gulch
#

np

#

Top youtubers I would pay attention to are: Pestily, DeadlySlob, Veritas, Tweak and the highly underrated Smoke (Who plays more like a player than a streamer).

tribal shale
#

hey for these raid stuff... headpiece is essential i suppose

shell gulch
#

Not essential, but it boosts your hearing, and when you can afford it, comtacs will become a regular part of your loadout

#

Think of them as an extra tactical advantage.

tribal shale
#

i am using roccat kave xtd set

#

will try to use it as often as i can

sonic lake
#

oof i dont recommend deadly's efficiency kits for beginners man. that's for more experienced players trying to use cost effective kit to pvp and get more loots

#

its for pvp hence the M995

#

if youre a beginner just trying to learn, SKS, 7.62 aks imo

#

easy decent ammo for cheap and even found commonly on scavs

little compass
#

if I insure something but dont have enough stash space for it if I lose it will i still get it back?

sonic lake
#

youll get it back

#

itll wait in your insurance returns

#

which expires in like a day

shell gulch
#

You'll get it back, there will be a time limit on how long you can receive your returns, usually 2-3 days

sonic lake
#

yee

shell gulch
#

Deadly's kit still applies, just without the weapon. The pot helmet and that armor chest rig are good ones to start out with, just not the ADAR, though you could still make it work with the 855 as long as you're staying at a distance with the scope and are going for headshots

bold rivet
#

Dont forget Kotton. He cracks me up

shell gulch
#

Kotton is a fuckin hoot, I wouldn't take pro tips from him though lol

#

If you need a bright spot to your day, Kotton is there

sonic lake
#

kotton is fuckin crazy

#

fun to watch lol

bold rivet
#

no i would agree with you there. but he's hilarious

sonic lake
#

kotton be like: pro tip just rush in lul

shell gulch
#

Kotton is stuck in 2017 tarkov where prone was meta lol

sonic lake
#

he makes it work

outer hull
#

yeah i watched him right when i started EFT

#

and was like "lemme rush like kotton"

#

big mistake

#

huge

sonic lake
#

i do that now lol works sometimes

#

still cant kotton shot

shell gulch
#

That's why I recommend someone like Smoke to beginners, he plays more like a true player instead of a streamer who balls out

little compass
#

@sonic lake how many hours do you have on tarkov?

sonic lake
#

a decent amount

#

been playing for about a month

#

smoke is gr8

#

i love it when he teams up with hatchlings lmao

shell gulch
#

I can't wait to see his channel when VOIP goes live lol

sonic lake
#

i want voip so bad

#

better trolling than DICKY NEEDLES

outer hull
#

anyone down to squad who's newish but not as new

#

I get nervous asking the better players for assistance lmao

sonic lake
#

why lol

#

they should help ya out

outer hull
#

bc I'm trash

sonic lake
#

just dont pretend to be a genius and youll be fine

outer hull
#

and feel like I'd be a detriment

sonic lake
#

same tho

shell gulch
#

if someone's not willing to help you out, then you probably didn't want their help to begin with ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

sonic lake
#

^

outer hull
#

tru

little compass
#

so why does killa look like tachanka

shell gulch
#

Step brother. Killa was the adoption agency baby though

little compass
#

fuck killa

shell gulch
#

He's not a nice person

little compass
#

i only know what he looks like

#

idk anything ab him

bold rivet
#

hes even a dick to other scavs

#

not cool

brisk mortar
#

Killa is ezpz

sonic lake
#

bes big boi that loves adidas and writes his name on his armour

brisk mortar
#

His AI is hella fucked, so if you keep hitting him he won't shoot back.

sonic lake
#

yeuh

little compass
#

isnt that how you get into labs or whatever

crude wolf
#

if you're a scav just hit his legs

sonic lake
#

killing killa with a pm ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

little compass
#

you kill killa

sonic lake
#

na

shell gulch
#

Yup, or if you just snipe him in the face with a mosin with SNB, you're golden

sonic lake
#

thats for deadly's hardocre

shell gulch
#

I've killed him with a 133 before

sonic lake
#

to get into labs you need a keycard

little compass
#

yeah

sonic lake
#

deadlyslob pre-keycard rule was kill killa or reshala to get into labs

shell gulch
#

Deadly is going slow compared to Pestily this season

little compass
#

who is rshala

sonic lake
#

another scav boss

shell gulch
#

Reshala = Deal Maker, Customs boss

sonic lake
#

has like 5 goons

#

and wears no armour

#

and has a blackrock for pockets

#

lol

shell gulch
#

Dorms or gas station on customs

#

If you hear a crap ton of grenades at those locations, probably scav boss lol

little compass
#

ive never seen him at dorms

shell gulch
#

You'll know when you do lol

sonic lake
#

you can hear him before even getting inside lol

bold rivet
#

yeah they always carpet bomb me when i try to go through shortcut

little compass
#

i think I got killed by him once at gas tho

shell gulch
#

I've had them whip a grenade clear up to radar tower to kill me lol

little compass
#

I thought it was a random grenade

sonic lake
#

jeez dude i hated customs so much

shell gulch
#

Easiest way to kill them is the rocks overlooking gas station with a mosin, but they aren't too hard, if you can do labs, you can do Reshala and his goons easy

sonic lake
#

either it was scav boss or the sniper on military checkpoint lol

#

my dumbass didnt know about them

little compass
#

bruh I completed the bronze watch thing today

sonic lake
#

noice

bold rivet
#

yeah customs was the bane of my existance the first day or two

#

til i learned where all the scavs spawned and that night time raids were a thing

sonic lake
#

and all the fuckin quests are customs early game

shell gulch
#

The only thing I play these days is Interchange, Shoreline and Labs lol

little compass
#

ive never been on any of those maps

sonic lake
#

run in with APB or kedr

#

i love interchange. gives me nice dawn of the dead vibes

sonic lake
#

shoreline is just scarier woods

shell gulch
#

It's an amazing squad map too, I usually run 4-5 as a team in there

#

lock down the upper level at a certain chokepoint

#

I think what makes interchange best with squads is it provides easy callouts, vs something like woods "He's by, errr that tree, with the Y in it, by that scav that just shot you...."

sonic lake
#

but you also have to learn the callouts

#

my brain 2 smol 4 that

sonic lake
#

i hate the crunching glass sound

shell gulch
#

True, but they are there for it. King Nikita, compass when?!

sonic lake
#

its gross

#

thats why i dont play interchange

#

cronch cronch cronch

little compass

I think it sounds cool

I love the sound effects

shell gulch

Play it as much as I have, you'll know where every bit of glass is lol

sonic lake
#

its annoying with comtacs lol

#

cronch

shell gulch
#

Once you get both Kiba keys and learn all the weapon crate spawns, Interchange is just as good as shoreline for the loot runs

little compass
#

kiba keys?

sonic lake
#

big boi gun store

#

with hella modded stuff

shell gulch

Kiba store, it's a firearms store that Killa guards

The other is in the gunsmith quest, way down the line from mechanic

Besides Kiba, there is one area of Interchange that has 7 weapon crates in it, and down below in parking there is another with 8 spread out

I've never gotten it, probably won't until launch, as I just won't put the time into it lol

I found deadly's beard oil the other day

what all wipes on wipes

Stash, level, progress. Hard wipe

wipes are 100% or 99%

if you get the kappa case do you keep that?

nope

There is one that I use, and only 1

#

The Valday from Prapor lvl 4

little compass
#

spyder do you have the standard edition?

sonic lake
#

Yes

little compass
#

theres no way to really upgrade your stash in the game rn right

#

just get cases and stuff

sonic lake
#

There will be in next patch

little compass
#

what do you have to do?

shell gulch
#

Or upgrade your account. Which is what I did. I found I loved the game so much, I went from Standard to EOD

little compass
#

to upgrade do you have to basically buy the game again

sonic lake
#

Someone gave me 95$ to buy eod ty otter just haven't done it yet

#

No

shell gulch
#

Nope, just buy the difference to the upgrade

sonic lake
#

Yea

shell gulch
#

Wait til it goes on sale, and then pull the trigger if you're gonna do that

little compass
#

someone just gave you 95$

#

lmao

sonic lake
#

Yea

#

It was wack

#

He was yelling at me to take it lol

Barely knew the guy for an hour

bruh some people are too nice

shell gulch

Bro! Get to the choppa! Buy EOD!!! Do eeet Now!

sonic lake
#

I dont feel like i need to rn

#

Lol

#

I'll deffo buy next patch

#

My stash is big space

little compass
#

is there gonna be wipes when the game fully releases?

shell gulch
#

Depends how you play, if you're a hoarder like me, it's never big enough

#

I would assume so, yes.

little compass
#

rip

sonic lake
#

Probably not after full release

#

If so then rarely

little compass
#

I would like if there wasnt

shell gulch
#

When it releases, it will wipe one last time, adn then no wipes according to BSG

sonic lake
#

Bc im pretty sure the wipes are just for beta testing and shizzles

little compass
#

when will the next wipe be?

shell gulch
#

.12 patch

little compass
#

whens that

shell gulch
#

Soon TM

#

That's a Tarkov community joke btw. Soon has pretty much been trademarked by BSG, when they say soon, it could be next week, or 2 months from now.

#

wait so last night when you and whoever told me to sell all of my 5.56 ammo what should I use as a substitute then

shell gulch
sonic lake
#

and you have thicc cases wtf

#

like bare minimum i'd use for 5.56 is m855a1

shell gulch
#

You can get 1 weapon and 1 item thicc case from quests btw

sonic lake
#

yes

#

but you have them

#

and still have no space? lel

#

i like that stray pws

shell gulch
#

I got about 80 weapons and probably like 40 armor sets in mine. There are days I just jump into the game to lose kits to make space lol

sonic lake
#

if you have an adar then id say bare minimum is m856a1

shell gulch
#

I just try and help others now a days

sonic lake
#

since with an m4 and hk you can spray the shitty ammo and sometimes get a kill

shell gulch
#

Yea 856a1 is good vs class 4 and below, if you run into someone running class 5 though, run.

#

Or go for the head

#

Though if they got an altyn or a Killa helmet, go back to, run.

sonic lake
#

i use 856a1 for raider killing

little compass
#

should I use my killa armor

sonic lake
#

works well but if a player comes up im kinda screwed

#

depends

#

for whayt

little compass
#

I killed someone w just the armor rig

shell gulch
#

Up to you Wilbert, I can't say yes or no, but I typically only bring out my top stuff when I'm running with someone to back me up

little compass
#

yeah I dont really play w anyone atm

sonic lake
#

ill only run with my top stuff by myself if im in labs or in factory to bully kids

#

or if i dont really care about losing it

shell gulch
#

Eventually everyone gets over their gear fear. I'm just a hoarding stooge, so I run labs all the time and stock up nonstop

sonic lake
#

you dont sell loot?

#

gross brotha

#

smh

shell gulch
#

On occasion yea, there are many guns I don't run

sonic lake
#

ngl i used to horde

#

and then i cleaned up stash and its just

#

great

shell gulch
#

There are plenty of guns I refuse to keep. AKS, shotguns, pistols, most 74's, most snipers, most sub guns (besides my bae m7)

little compass
#

so I have like 700k rn should I start to upgrade my gear or nah?

sonic lake
#

when youre better

#

and thats based off how you feel with your performance

shell gulch
#

I recommend abusing the hell out of your scav character, it's a free kit to try and go slay with, great to get the feel for things

little compass
#

ive only extracted once out of my 21 pmc raids according to my stats

#

so

sonic lake
#

F

little compass
#

22 pmc raids*

sonic lake
#

well that also depends on the gear you brought in

#

if you went hatchling all those raids then it makes sense

little compass
#

half the time it was pistols or a knife

sonic lake
#

yea thats why

little compass
#

I have a .84 kd tho

sonic lake
#

i have a 2 kd lul

shell gulch
#

The thing to keep in mind, and this is a misconception of a lot of newer players, greater gear only gives you 1-2 seconds of breathing room sometimes. If I'm running a raid, I'm running ammo that can pierce class 5-6.

#

It's not the gear that makes the player, it's the player that makes the gear.

little compass
#

where can I get the 856a1 ammo

#

fleamarket?

shell gulch
#

I've watched a guy with a 500k kit get leg shot to death with a Shr1mp pistol lol

#

Flea Market or Peacekeeper if you are that far

little compass
#

peacekeeper has 55hp for me

shell gulch
#

I think it's peacekeeper 3 that has it

#

So if you aren't up to that level, flea market is the only way

sonic lake
#

yea ngl i have the same outcome running labs with level3 armour

#

i still recommend running 7.62x39 guns

#

like a decked out ak before even trying to run a decked out m4

little compass
#

im mostly running adar's rn

sonic lake
#

living rich lol

little compass
#

thats rich?

sonic lake
#

i mean first week i played i just sold my adars i found

#

and didnt even buy any

little compass
#

neither have I

sonic lake
#

adar is 5.56 weapon and 5.56 expensive ammo

little compass
#

found them off scavs

sonic lake
#

n o i c e

shell gulch
#

7.62 auto guns are stupid hard to control though, you'll be pointing at the ceiling unless you semi auto.

sonic lake
#

yes

#

semi auto

crude wolf
#

unless you cheese recoil

shell gulch
#

5.56 will become more available as you progress down peacekeepers line though, and almost all his quests are on shoreline

sonic lake
#

unless youre fighting scav boss for the first time and theyre right in front of you then brrrrrrrrrrrrrrry

#

my mans

#

i run m4s every raid now lol

#

thanks labs

little compass
#

are m4s like the best gun?

crude wolf
#

This wipe yeah

spiral plaza
#

Right now, yes

sonic lake
#

laserbeam

crude wolf
#

Pretty meta

spiral plaza
#

It always depends what adjustments are being made and what parts are available

sonic lake
#

995 ammo

spiral plaza
#

HK416 is better with a suppressor, but overall best stat block goes to meta M4

shell gulch
#

Depends. Top tier I'd say m4, HK, VSS and SA-58 are your premium weaponary. But all of them, except the VSS take a lot of money to get them where they need to be

little compass
#

good thing I have 3 rn ig

#

theyre shit

#

but still have them

sonic lake
#

vss takes a lot of money to take out periodt

#

esspensive ammo lol

shell gulch
#

Not to mod though, and blue top ftw, I got a couple hundred rounds of SPP saved up lol

sonic lake
#

i like mdrs

shell gulch
#

tape*

sonic lake
#

mdr has good pattern

#

good for fighting AKs

#

not good for fighting m4s

#

๐Ÿ˜ฆ

shell gulch
#

MDRs are good, too many people knock them, but they are ready to go 5.56 weapons that take very little to get them to their sweet spot

sonic lake
#

i used to run them until i had to fight a player with an m4 and he just shredded me with that faster rof

little compass
#

so how do you like get in a squad w someone

spiral plaza
#

I personally am fine using literally any gun as long as it's accurate or has good ergo so I can land the first headshot

sonic lake
#

in lobby

little compass
#

do you just try to get in the same game and find eachother or

sonic lake
#

right click name in lobbby invite to group

shell gulch
#

No you can team up before launch into the map

#

so you spawn in the same location

little compass
#

nice

shell gulch
#

or nearby if you do it as a scav

#

For everyone new, I'm gonna regret saying this because I'll probably be killed by one of you lol, but the VEPR hunter, in .308 M80 is probably one of your most powerful beginner weapons, you can take down class 5 body armor with a couple of shots.

little compass
#

nice

sonic lake
#

never had any luck with it lol

#

sprayed 5 into a scav's chest and he didnt die ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

shell gulch
#

It works lol, M80 can one shot lvl 3 and below in the chest. And if you want, you can swap in raid between the dovetail OKP and a PSO scope

split vapor
#

4*

#

And it can one tap lvl5

#

But mostly takes 2

sonic lake
#

i use a tt01 with pk-06

spiral plaza
#

Hunter is absolutely busted at its current price point of ~30k

sonic lake
#

free*

shell gulch
#

Yea don't pay for it, just go get it from scavs lol

#

With the free M61 ammo that can shred class 6 xD

#

Though tbh, it is a little painful with 5 rd mags, once you unlock the 10rd ones, or buy them, it gets a lot better

sonic lake
#

i just bought them from flea

#

i had more success with 10 rounders than 5

#

still not amazing as people say it is imho

#

i know its very viable tho

wary dew
#

Alright quick question say i buy a tomahawk off the flea is it unlootable for me or

shell gulch
#

Correct

#

Whatever melee weapon you have equipped cannot be looted

wary dew
#

ok cool thanks man

sonic lake
#

gamers whats the best way to bait raiders lol

#

i wanted mooore loooot they just werent coming for me

outer hull
#

just got a labs keycard in a scav run

#

hell fuckin yeah dude

sonic lake
#

noice

outer hull
#

with 3 kills

#

2 of them players

#

i'm crine in the club rn

tribal shale
#

nice jealous

sonic lake
#

is it sad the most player kills ive gotten in a raid is 3 hatchlings

outer hull
#

honestly no

#

I just got lucky and had a sighted hunter

#

for my scav

sonic lake
#

i dont really like the hunter

#

but damn its better than an obrez

shell gulch
#

Best way to bait raiders is noise. Running, shooting, and letting them see you momentarily and then ducking out of sight. If they refuse to budge, get them out of their hideout with a grenade, they usually start pushing after that.

sonic lake
#

did that lul

#

they camped parking ramp the whole time

#

2-3 would come by my door and say sector clear

#

and walk back even if i shot, yelled dicky needles or anything

shell gulch
#

That means they lost lock with you

#

Yelling won't do anything

#

Shoot and then keep loudly moving

sonic lake
#

i mean thats kinda what i did

#

they didnt move

brisk mortar
#

It's super inconsistant.

sonic lake
#

i leveled up a whole strength level throwing nades to bait :)))

#

not really but you know what i mean

shell gulch
#

and if they get particularly entrenched, let them see you, or peek them if you think you got the reflexes

sonic lake
#

i peeked em, domed a guy deep in parking ramp but i couldnt get to him

shell gulch
#

parking is the more difficult of the two, hanger is by far easier

sonic lake
#

yea but i was finished there hehe

outer hull
#

what are the best bullets for an AR

shell gulch
#

Best? 995

outer hull
#

ty

sonic lake
#

best for pen anyways

outer hull
#

will those work for AKs?

sonic lake
#

the AK-101

#

and 102(?)

outer hull
#

okay, what about 105s then?

shell gulch
#

105 is a 5.45 weapon

dry plinth
#

BT

outer hull
#

ok

sonic lake
#

BS**

outer hull
#

I have like 3 different types of ammo

sonic lake
#

but BT is good too

outer hull
#

that's why I was wondering

shell gulch
#

BS and 7n39 are the absolute best

sonic lake
#

eh 7n39 is meh

shell gulch
#

lol no it aint

sonic lake
#

doesnt it have way less flesh than BS?

dry plinth
#

JUst a lil less

sonic lake
#

bs is good enough lol

dry plinth
#

not worth extra price

shell gulch
#

It does, but it has 12 extra pen. Just go to labs, I got a whole ammo case full of 7n39 from it

sonic lake
#

yea

#

i know lol

#

sold all that shit to buy some yummy bs

i'm so over it

3 minutes left

and they really waited

livid siren
#

Gotta keep your head on a swivel man but Iโ€™d be pretty pissed about that too

quartz bone
#

Hatchling is the best strategy?

#

Im getting most money on it because its easy to kill scav and then you can hunt for full gear

calm gate
#

@outer hull Try... taking less than 52 minutes to go through a raid :/
I almost never meet excfil campers (except occasionally on factory, and even then only gate3). Just try playing a bit quicker.

#

Also @shell gulch 7n39 isn't a direct upgrade to BS, there are a lot of cases where 7n39 takes 3 thorax hits to kill, where BS will only take 2

#

I mean, if you're aiming to kill a scav and snowball, at least bring a TT xD

#

**

**

#

If you're leaving near the end of the raid, it's usually BECAUSE OF the timer - you're forced to leave by then. Any other player in the game, PMC or player scav, will also be looking to leave ASAP, so your ods of meeting someone at extract are the highest they'll ever be.

outer hull
#

My game froze for like a solid 5 minutes so by the time I got to gate 3 I had 3 minutes left

#

Shit session :/

calm gate
#

If your game freezes for anything over 60 seconds, you should restart it.

shell gulch
#

@calm gate While true, I would rather be running 7n39 this late into the patch than BS due to the higher amount of people running class 6 and Killa helmets. Personal preference, but 7n39 has never done me wrong.

split vapor
#

7n39 trash

#

Too many to kill

shell gulch
#

Hmm, hit the head and you only need 1 bud ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

split vapor
#

oof sniping with 7n39

austere granite
#

What is the best ammo to use for the AK-74?

spiral plaza
#

BS

split vapor
#

Bp-bt-bs

spiral plaza
#

@shell gulch Worth noting on Igolnik

#

At 37 damage, and damage being slightly variable, and ammo sometimes losing a small percentage of damage despite penetrating a piece of armor

#

And with the head having 35 health

#

There are times when you may land a penetrating headshot with Igolnik and fail to drop the target in one hit

#

Leaving their head at 1 or 2 health

#

This is why I moved to BS, as it still penetrates Maska's sides and top, and penetrates Altyns, and ensures a one hit kill if it does

shell gulch
#

I just personally have never had an issue with it myself, and can safely say I feel confident using it.

spiral plaza
#

Yeah, they're both great rounds

#

Igol sounds like it would be a good idea on Labs. On other maps I personally stick with BS

shell gulch
#

I use it on two maps only, Labs and Interchange, usually where I'm encountering beefy boys.

spiral plaza
#

Makes complete sense. I do the same, although with .308 M80 and M61

austere granite
#

Okay cool. I want to try using better rounds though I feel I might be sinking my money into it too earily since my last string of runs has been a bunch of Ls and I lose the ammo.

shell gulch
#

Keep the spare ammo in your container as a heads up, load your mags from that

scarlet herald
#

Always using 7n39 to kill scavs in offline mode

spiral plaza
#

Good ammo is never a bad investment. Use at least BP or BT to penetrate class 4 armor on a spray

#

BS is what you want to use, but if you're new, don't carry 60 rounders of it in your vest

shell gulch
#

Yea a good starting way is keep a 30 rounder of BS for guaranteed PVP spots (Resort in shoreline, dorms in customs, etc...) and run the rest BT, that way you always have a mag that can take down PMC's regardless of armor, but aren't breaking the bank spraying it into scavs.

#

If you want to get really fancy, you can even run the BS in a red mag and rest of your mags black with BT

#

That way you always know

spiral plaza
#

Almost how I used to do it

#

I had two 60 rounders of BT (one in gun one in vest) and a 30 red mag of BS

scarlet herald
#

But some how i feel like ak rifle is lack of firerate

#

When u facing a bunch of heavy armor

spiral plaza
#

Nyet, you need 1 hit in the head with good ammo

#

Maybe two if ricochet

karmic garden
#

BS stands for Body Shot ๐Ÿ˜

spiral plaza
#

AK is really controllable

#

Like if you have a 65 recoil AK it's completely fine, but if you have a 65 recoil HK you will wish you never put it on automatic

austere granite
#

Sorry about that has to afk for a sec, reading now.

#

Alrighty, thanks I'm going to keep that in mind and the whole black mag red mag is a great idea.

spiral plaza
#

๐Ÿ‘ Should hold us out until we are able to mark mags with tape or smth

austere granite
#

Lawl ye

#

Is there any armor worth grabbing with only tier 1 uh

#

traders?

spiral plaza
#

Nah

#

I think Ragman ll2 sells the best budget armor in the game

#

The 6B23 Digital Flora ll3 armor for 44k with good repairability and dura

#

I always mix up the fucking 6B## names and have to edit reeeee

split vapor
#

Isnโ€™t 6b13 lvl4 and 6b23 lvl 3 iirc

#

Trooper good armor

austere granite
#

Righto, gotta keep playing dangerous then.

Its time for a win

How does one make the big money

Sca runs

#

Killing players

#

@sullen wadi

#

as a beginner: scav runs on interchange, learn the map -> 150k - 300k in about 15mins

#

lvl 25+: buy things from traders with are limited, sell them on the fleamarket -> passive income

#

experienced player: player kills + flea market passive trading (doing this since 2 months now, not a problem)

sullen wadi
#

Interchange is my most played map

#

If I used the flea market more I'd earn more money probably

#

But I don't know how to effectively use trades

fathom dirge
#

if you can loot on interchange, money shouldn't be a issue as a scav player

#

flea market is easy, which level are you with the traders?

sullen wadi
#

Haven't been playing scav raids for 3 weeks

#

I'm lvl 37

#

rag and mech aren't royalty

and how much money do you have

170k+ each?

#

peacekeeper lvl 3/4: buy mk12, gral-s and multi hit faceshield every 3h -> sell them on flea market for max price

sullen wadi
#

Aight

fathom dirge
#

AND DO NOT FUCKING

#

UNDERCUT

#

BY MORE THAN 1 $

#

OR I WILL KILL YOU INGAME

#

do NOT CRASH THE MARKET PRICE

#

thats #1 rule of flea market trading

#

ah and by the way

#

you could do the following

#

if you have a bigger stash (eod)

sullen wadi
#

Yeah I got eod

fathom dirge
#

buy this items but do not sell them immedialty, wait for nighttime (europe)

#

its usually higher night than on daytime

#

and before you go to sleep, just, e.g. with the faceshield

#

put it in for 415$ each

#

you will sell it of over night

Any time

Like on interchange which is a 60 minute start you can scav in at 58

hidden vale

yes, but I guess you can't scav at 10,. right?

dim galleon

timber bolt
#

yeah, don't treat this game like siege

#

at all

dim galleon

the mechanics are entirely different in gameplay and technica

dim galleon
#

timber bolt

toxic knot
#

Yeah everyone is so juiced... what do I do...

tulip ledge
#

what i do is stockpile loot from doing constant scav interchange raids, then a few lucky pmc raids on scavs, and get good loot room unlocks with keys. And just make it out alive, then once stash is full sell everything and do quests

buoyant mason
#

It's really good, easy to make it into an M4 after a few raids too

toxic knot
#

@buoyant mason Im only lvl6 tho so the game is still quite hard for me!

buoyant mason
#

Oh, yeah it can be a bit of a pain in the arse to get into ๐Ÿ˜…

#

Are you EU or US? I always find North American servers a lot less 'sweaty' than the EU servers

plain shale
#

@buoyant mason the EU servers offer the best PvP experience.

Noticed I've been having a fair bit of trouble spotting or pin-pointing peoples location as of late. Been trying both going in fast with quick and decisive clears or slow and steady with angle peeking. Both of which to no avail lately, hell even listening to surroundings doesn't help with preparing for what's around. I'm speaking mostly factory but open space maps differ only in that I often cannot even tell from where I got dropped on. Going from cover to cover or checking my angles to keep visibility low just doesn't make the cut. Meanwhile if I do end up facing my demise, they seem to better know how use the angles and gaps to put more bullets into me than I can. Unless I just cannot penetrate their armor and/or my aim sucks. Though I kill more than I die, so making it to the extraction seems to be the bigger issue I guess. Anything helps!
