havent even gotten the watcj
Have you got the key?
yeah
kinda botrh
cautiously sprint towards your goal
Play that mission on a quiet server. Customs on a busy server is pretty... sporty...
:P
i just fuckin booked it and nobody was there when i got there got in got out
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
opposite end
@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
ik where like the RUAF extraction is and dorms vehicle extract
Also check out the maps in offline mode with a with the map on a second screen or your phone
Spend an hour or two running them through and comparing against the map to get your bearings
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
Go pmc and as you're clicking through there's a checkbox for offline mode
completely empty labs raid? lol
It's great for learning the maps
Click the one you want to play
ok
i see that I dont have a map
You don't need an ingame map
oh
They're useless
lmao
https://www.gamemaps.co.uk/game/tarkov/maps/customs_new_marvelin @little compass
so you cant do any quests in offline?
You can do the quests but they don't count
if you die when you have scavs on do you lose your stuff?
Whatever happens in offline mode doesn't actually happen
exactly
ig im gonna try out my m4
Show us a screenshot of the inspect screen on that m4 @little compass
Lots of recoil for an m4
i just had an extra grip
Where did you get it @little compass
Modedd an adar
its bad?
Not your fault obv but I wouldn't use it
Low ergo, high recoil. It is still an m4 but is probably a waste of money to raid with it
yeah im shooting this and its all over the place
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
mdr is awesome tho ngl
i man considering I got that adar off a scav
great recoil and ergo
and then bought a 30k reciever
10/10 recommend running an mdr
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
so if I kms in offline to just get out instead of extracting its ok
60k gun, 15k grip, 30k suppressors, whatever you want on a sight
you can also just disconnect I'm sure
@little compass just disconnect
mdr is great man i just put a pws on it, rk1, cobra sight works wonders.
so @karmic garden can you tell me how to get a better gun out of my m4?
@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
i also had a laser on my m4
@little compass I would break it down, sell it, and run cheaper stuff while I'm very new
you have a mic right?
Me?
yeah
how to get a better m4? get hk 
Yeah I do but I'm about to go work some overtime today
What timezone are you @little compass
early morning gang
Is that USA
yes
if I call you rq could you just guide me through the process real fast if I screen share?
early morning gang who woke rn?
I wont be talking tho
Not now dude, but we can raid together some time for sure
ight
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
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
@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
I am level 5 exact I think
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
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?
@little compass tbh you could change the modding a bit if you want to use them
id rather use the adar rn if theyre that bad
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
F
Imo sell the armour you have and the backpacks
sell some of the aks74us in the bottom brotha
Use something cheap like mbss rather than attack and beta as a noob
plain ak74 and aks74 y e e t e d
I got both of those from a scav raid
You don't need that alpha rig either or the killa or fort
Don't sell the expensive stuff to the AI traders tho
like 90% of my stash is from scav raids
@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
F
Plus they're taking up space he can't afford in his stash
spyder said something then it was gone
and kiry and crusty said some shit and thats gone too
i said ill take you to labs then i realized it was almost 4 in the morning and i need to sleep lol
bruh this one raider had all the canned foods on his backpack tf
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
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
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
@normal bear and @sonic lake wanna get in a call so I can screenshare?
I cant really talk rn tho
bc idk waht to do
aight then
spyder accept fr?
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
level 8 and got 50k left cant compeat with the fully kitted peeps
@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
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
@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
@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
Also find other people to play with, so the fully kitted group is you ๐
@velvet flame it's pretty easy to learn, you'll be fine with it
Just try offline first
im pretty new and id be down for whatever
Alright ill send you a friend request on discord
Hey, can I join as well? I'm not completely new but I am also not the best either.
@outer musk
@karmic garden thanks dude!
@velvet flame np man ๐
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 ?
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
@pallid oracle
2 methods:
- go as hatchling in day/nighttime and just run through. After the 3rd or 4th try you will got it
- go in as hatchling at DAY, go afk for 30mins in a bush and do the quest.
Do it on a quiet server too
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
SNB will kill someone with 1 to the head and 2 in the chest
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
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
SNB will go through every armour class 99% of the time
It only does like 65 dmg or something
i am online for a while.
if anyone wants some advice just join me.
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
hey, can anyone that's using reshade help me with something?
@hidden vale
what do you want to know ?
@short trench sure
@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]
thanks, I'll look into it
to do labs, does everyone have to have a keycard?
yes
but if you survive the payout is well worth
i hit up labs to replenish my cash guns and meds lol
how hard is it to survive?
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
so much knowledge here sweet baby jesus this game has layers to it! noob overload
The game honestly isn't that hard friend.
If you psyche yourself out like that, it'll only make it harder to learn.
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.
Hey looking for help to get me better with maps and understand the traders more maybe do some raids too
who wants 2 mil?
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?
@tribal shale Customs is where your first trader quests are, so that's a good place to start
thx @shell gulch
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 โค
Dying is the way of Tarkov, welcome to the fire ๐
@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
kk i hear ya.. i guess everyone starting from standard edition right lol
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
kk
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
i guess gona read and try offline mode first
It's a good call, 0 risk involved, and you can find out where the exits are as you're going through
https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Escape_from_Tarkov_Wiki << Bible of Tarkov
#TarkoBible
nice ๐
yeah i always have that open in the background when i raid. good to dive into a bush when i get lost
@severe python i think everyone wants two mil hahaha
oh i am reading aobut hide out, i think u gona need a while before u end up upgrading the little stash
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 
oh also people are talking about fullwipe every patch, what hack is that
Starting from square 1
isnt that sux
nah
When major patches come out, your progress gets wiped completely. The game is still in beta after all.
Its needed
oh right, but been few years lol still in beta...
Beta too, plus if they change items etc and people have different versions
conflicting things
right ... but seems to be hack a crazy beta ^__^
games been out for 3 years and 2 are beta
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
guess i be careful what i do in the game lol enjoy sight seeing and roaming around
Dont bother wasting excess gear on doing quests
๐
majority of the early tasks are kill a few scavs
grab this document and extract
etc
Yes, DeadlySlob has a good build that's great for value
Yeah? Got a link?
Today we're not in a raid but in the stash discussing how I build efficient starting kits when running on a budget of 200,000 rubles or less. I discuss armor...
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).
hey for these raid stuff... headpiece is essential i suppose
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.
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
if I insure something but dont have enough stash space for it if I lose it will i still get it back?
You'll get it back, there will be a time limit on how long you can receive your returns, usually 2-3 days
yee
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
Dont forget Kotton. He cracks me up
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
no i would agree with you there. but he's hilarious
kotton be like: pro tip just rush in lul
Kotton is stuck in 2017 tarkov where prone was meta lol
he makes it work
yeah i watched him right when i started EFT
and was like "lemme rush like kotton"
big mistake
huge
That's why I recommend someone like Smoke to beginners, he plays more like a true player instead of a streamer who balls out
@sonic lake how many hours do you have on tarkov?
a decent amount
been playing for about a month
smoke is gr8
i love it when he teams up with hatchlings lmao
I can't wait to see his channel when VOIP goes live lol
anyone down to squad who's newish but not as new
I get nervous asking the better players for assistance lmao
bc I'm trash
just dont pretend to be a genius and youll be fine
and feel like I'd be a detriment
same tho
if someone's not willing to help you out, then you probably didn't want their help to begin with ๐
^
tru
so why does killa look like tachanka
Step brother. Killa was the adoption agency baby though
fuck killa
He's not a nice person
Killa is ezpz
bes big boi that loves adidas and writes his name on his armour
His AI is hella fucked, so if you keep hitting him he won't shoot back.
yeuh
isnt that how you get into labs or whatever
if you're a scav just hit his legs
killing killa with a pm ๐
you kill killa
na
Yup, or if you just snipe him in the face with a mosin with SNB, you're golden
thats for deadly's hardocre
I've killed him with a 133 before
to get into labs you need a keycard
yeah
deadlyslob pre-keycard rule was kill killa or reshala to get into labs
Deadly is going slow compared to Pestily this season
who is rshala
another scav boss
Reshala = Deal Maker, Customs boss
Dorms or gas station on customs
If you hear a crap ton of grenades at those locations, probably scav boss lol
ive never seen him at dorms
You'll know when you do lol
you can hear him before even getting inside lol
yeah they always carpet bomb me when i try to go through shortcut
i think I got killed by him once at gas tho
I've had them whip a grenade clear up to radar tower to kill me lol
I thought it was a random grenade
jeez dude i hated customs so much
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
either it was scav boss or the sniper on military checkpoint lol
my dumbass didnt know about them
bruh I completed the bronze watch thing today
noice
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
and all the fuckin quests are customs early game
The only thing I play these days is Interchange, Shoreline and Labs lol
ive never been on any of those maps
Interchange will make you jaw drop at the potential of this game when you walk into it
shred kiddos
i love interchange. gives me nice dawn of the dead vibes
shoreline is just scarier woods
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...."
same
i hate the crunching glass sound
True, but they are there for it. King Nikita, compass when?!
Play it as much as I have, you'll know where every bit of glass is lol
Once you get both Kiba keys and learn all the weapon crate spawns, Interchange is just as good as shoreline for the loot runs
kiba keys?
!wiki kiba outlet grate
https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Key_to_KIBA_Outlet_grate_door
Not the correct result? Use !wiki page kiba outlet grate for a direct link or !wiki search kiba outlet grate for a list of all hits.
how do you get them?
from who?
or barter 50 condensed milk
1 costs 50 condensed milks from therapist
The other is in the gunsmith quest, way down the line from mechanic
i got hella condensed milk
or on a scav
or from a dead scav
nice
ive found a raider with all canned foods in his beta2
yum yum
yum
yum
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
It's loot heavy if you know where to look
how do you get the kippa case?
Kappa?
Yea all tasks and then turn in 1 of each of the streamer items, which are a bear to find sometimes
rip
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
Got it in my duffel right now ๐
Stash, level, progress. Hard wipe
if you get the kappa case do you keep that?
nope
no
I wish you luck with all your quests sir, shooter born in heaven can go to hell lol
spyder do you have the standard edition?
Yes
theres no way to really upgrade your stash in the game rn right
just get cases and stuff
There will be in next patch
what do you have to do?
Or upgrade your account. Which is what I did. I found I loved the game so much, I went from Standard to EOD
to upgrade do you have to basically buy the game again
Nope, just buy the difference to the upgrade
Yea
Wait til it goes on sale, and then pull the trigger if you're gonna do that
lmao
Barely knew the guy for an hour
bruh some people are too nice
Bro! Get to the choppa! Buy EOD!!! Do eeet Now!
I dont feel like i need to rn
Lol
I'll deffo buy next patch
My stash is big space
is there gonna be wipes when the game fully releases?
Depends how you play, if you're a hoarder like me, it's never big enough
I would assume so, yes.
rip
I would like if there wasnt
When it releases, it will wipe one last time, adn then no wipes according to BSG
Bc im pretty sure the wipes are just for beta testing and shizzles
when will the next wipe be?
.12 patch
whens that
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.
!wipe
nice
depression
same
ive got loads of space ya see
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
I can't even get a grenade in mine lol
You can get 1 weapon and 1 item thicc case from quests btw
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
if you have an adar then id say bare minimum is m856a1
I just try and help others now a days
since with an m4 and hk you can spray the shitty ammo and sometimes get a kill
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.
i use 856a1 for raider killing
should I use my killa armor
I killed someone w just the armor rig
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
yeah I dont really play w anyone atm
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
Eventually everyone gets over their gear fear. I'm just a hoarding stooge, so I run labs all the time and stock up nonstop
On occasion yea, there are many guns I don't run
There are plenty of guns I refuse to keep. AKS, shotguns, pistols, most 74's, most snipers, most sub guns (besides my bae m7)
so I have like 700k rn should I start to upgrade my gear or nah?
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
F
22 pmc raids*
well that also depends on the gear you brought in
if you went hatchling all those raids then it makes sense
half the time it was pistols or a knife
yea thats why
I have a .84 kd tho
i have a 2 kd 
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.
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
peacekeeper has 55hp for me
I think it's peacekeeper 3 that has it
So if you aren't up to that level, flea market is the only way
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
im mostly running adar's rn
living rich lol
thats rich?
neither have I
adar is 5.56 weapon and 5.56 expensive ammo
found them off scavs
n o i c e
7.62 auto guns are stupid hard to control though, you'll be pointing at the ceiling unless you semi auto.
unless you cheese recoil
5.56 will become more available as you progress down peacekeepers line though, and almost all his quests are on shoreline
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
are m4s like the best gun?
This wipe yeah
Right now, yes
laserbeam
Pretty meta
It always depends what adjustments are being made and what parts are available
995 ammo
HK416 is better with a suppressor, but overall best stat block goes to meta M4
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
Not to mod though, and blue top ftw, I got a couple hundred rounds of SPP saved up lol
i like mdrs
tape*
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
i used to run them until i had to fight a player with an m4 and he just shredded me with that faster rof
so how do you like get in a squad w someone
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
in lobby
do you just try to get in the same game and find eachother or
right click name in lobbby invite to group
nice
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.
nice
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
i use a tt01 with pk-06
Hunter is absolutely busted at its current price point of ~30k
free*
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
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
Alright quick question say i buy a tomahawk off the flea is it unlootable for me or
ok cool thanks man
gamers whats the best way to bait raiders lol
i wanted mooore loooot they just werent coming for me
noice
nice jealous
is it sad the most player kills ive gotten in a raid is 3 hatchlings
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.
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
That means they lost lock with you
Yelling won't do anything
Shoot and then keep loudly moving
It's super inconsistant.
i leveled up a whole strength level throwing nades to bait :)))
not really but you know what i mean
and if they get particularly entrenched, let them see you, or peek them if you think you got the reflexes
i peeked em, domed a guy deep in parking ramp but i couldnt get to him
parking is the more difficult of the two, hanger is by far easier
yea but i was finished there hehe
what are the best bullets for an AR
Best? 995
ty
best for pen anyways
will those work for AKs?
okay, what about 105s then?
105 is a 5.45 weapon
BT
ok
BS**
I have like 3 different types of ammo
but BT is good too
that's why I was wondering
BS and 7n39 are the absolute best
eh 7n39 is meh
lol no it aint
doesnt it have way less flesh than BS?
JUst a lil less
bs is good enough lol
not worth extra price
It does, but it has 12 extra pen. Just go to labs, I got a whole ammo case full of 7n39 from it
I give you the tarkov ammo cheat sheet. Courtesy of NoFoodAfterMidnight and his hard work

Effectiveness,Est. Avg. Shots Stopped By Armor Before Killing
Don't expect to kill someone through that a...
best 5.45 is T Kappa
thank you @shell gulch
Got a lion statue, a horse statue, and a graphics card in one scav run. Ill take it
noice
people who camp exfils should be fucking banned
i'm so over it
3 minutes left
and they really waited
Gotta keep your head on a swivel man but Iโd be pretty pissed about that too
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
@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.
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 :/
If your game freezes for anything over 60 seconds, you should restart it.
@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.
Hmm, hit the head and you only need 1 bud ๐
oof sniping with 7n39
What is the best ammo to use for the AK-74?
BS
Bp-bt-bs
@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
I just personally have never had an issue with it myself, and can safely say I feel confident using it.
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
I use it on two maps only, Labs and Interchange, usually where I'm encountering beefy boys.
Makes complete sense. I do the same, although with .308 M80 and M61
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.
Keep the spare ammo in your container as a heads up, load your mags from that
Always using 7n39 to kill scavs in offline mode
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
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
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
But some how i feel like ak rifle is lack of firerate
When u facing a bunch of heavy armor
BS stands for Body Shot ๐
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
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.
๐ Should hold us out until we are able to mark mags with tape or smth
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
Lawl yeah
anyone trying to team up pretty new
when wipe?
In a few months
WHEN WIPE
@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)
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
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?
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
20k xd
lol you are bad
therpaist lvl 2 -> buy keycard and sell it for 165k, ~45k win each time
Which I don't know what to do
sell them?
170k+ each?
peacekeeper lvl 3/4: buy mk12, gral-s and multi hit faceshield every 3h -> sell them on flea market for max price
Aight
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)
Yeah I got eod
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
i did went from 50k$ to 70k$ over this weekend
and i am financing myself with flea market trading + pmc kills since 8-12 weeks
and i am on 23 mio roubles + 70k $ now
running always high end gear loadout (m4 etc)
and i am not only winning, lul
ah btw i do not play labs
this scav interchange runs are amazing for a new player or after wipe
i do not do them anymore
sell your bitcoins
180k each
Mmhm
until what time into the raid can player scavs spawn?
yes, but I guess you can't scav at 10,. right?
thanks a lot! ๐
yea np
insert evil laugh here!
Muahahahaha!

@severe python hook me up more โค
Anyone need some starter help?
Any lvl 4 peacekeeper that can hook me up with a beta container?
damn i think my cmputer is too slow
New to the game and PC in general, was hoping to find a mentor.
is there a visored helmet that will let you run comtacs
A couple actually
Fast MT with it's own comtacs, airframe with sordens and my personal favorite due to cost, LZSh's with darn near anything
shoot me some messages im only like lvl 12 looking for more peeps
shiet i didnt know airframes were in this gam
game
i hate the fact that this game allows me to go sexy operator as fuck but its expensive and can be lost really easily
the only piece of gear i want is a Crye JPC 1 or 2 gen.. both yummy plate carriers
crye gear is my jam
@severe python homie can i get some free 10mil rub 
nah
can i get some steak and a d suk
yikes
mega yikes
so.....?
@tulip ledge you looking to do runs?
im just doin scav loot n scoot soloโs currently, im low on monies
ill go with yalls if youre cool with it
@sonic lake you trying to just duo then?
anyone wana help an idiot im doing damage in the 100s with pistols in runs but not getting kills and not making it out alive
shoot heads
live
you can do 100 damage all around the guy and not kill him
or just black out his arm or something
yeah siege is my main game so im usually going for headshots but everythiung so so diffrent
siege i play skeany
the mechanics are entirely different in gameplay and technica
sneaky*
i dont play ranked but i have 400 hours of ingame
i dont have a squad and ranked is such a hassl;e
stop using pistols, helmets will stop pistol calibres and you're just wasting money
aim head or chest
play interchange
i havent bought anything
everyone is a sweaty juiced boi
do scav bodies despawn after some time?
Yeah everyone is so juiced... what do I do...
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
how much is gamma container?
have to buy EOD edition of the game
@hidden vale no.. everything is persistent until that game session ends
@toxic knot Deadlyslob did a great video on cheap loadouts that'll drop geared Bois, give it a watch :)
I say loadouts, singular loadout lol
@buoyant mason yeah Iโm using it rn! Just practising offline first haha
Anyone wanna play with me?
It's really good, easy to make it into an M4 after a few raids too
@buoyant mason Im only lvl6 tho so the game is still quite hard for me!
Oh, yeah it can be a bit of a pain in the arse to get into ๐
Are you EU or US? I always find North American servers a lot less 'sweaty' than the EU servers
@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!
If any NA players need some starter help let me know.
you still playing @low river
