lol, i've yet to have that work out for me
ah it pretty much never goes well
@shadow edge you can shoot through some doors/walls/other stuff. If he had a headset and heard you or saw you go behind the door he could have shot there then opened it. First time that happened to me I was so confused.
Also doors sometimes desync and are in different states for each player
Doors let a miniscule amount of damage through
Bullet deviation is a mess through doors though, beware of that. If they're close to the door, you have a decent chance of hitting. More than a few feet/meters, you're not hitting them.
N o n n a !
@lapis mauve Yea I know, but you can usually tell when it's desync, because you don't hear the bullets hitting the metal. Only the flesh
@bold kernel hey man I’m number 2 or 3 for most messages for a reason
Fair E knuff.
Not number 1 tho 😎
Shoo kir

Lads... is there a reason i dont have any Quests from Peacekeeper?

I never even noticed but i legit dont have any quests from peacekeeper...

@hollow sierra
is 7.62 HP Worth buying?
Hp is good for memes and dunking on hatchlings , much like warmage
@plucky goblet 
Does anisotropic filtering and antialiasing actually work in this game?
People say to turn that off but the game just looks like minecraft from more than 5 meters away regardless
I can't say for sure, I turn off both those options on practically every game.
they only shit your frames by a hand few
Really? I just can’t stand my game looking like it’s from 2008?
It doesn't though?
Not close up is what I mean it just has a really grainy effect and looks really blocky if you look say 30 meters ahead? I don’t know what setting causes that because it annoys the heck outta me
Well, that's typically tied to anisotropic filtering and antialiasing. Like I mentioned before, I don't use those some I'm unsure how good those fix that issue. If you've got those and and it's still like that, I'd suggested raising your rendering and whatnot.
Ah like load distance?
2008, probably your pc
exactly
how i put more flashlight
Can someone tell me what the point of this game i like the concept but i dont have any idea of waht im doing lmaio
shmuglu u need flashlight
press T for flash light
but how do i put more
ctrl t maybe
:l
@forest hinge You're killing scavs and players while collecting loot and doing quests.
There is no objective besides survive.
That and World Domination
@worn harbor Depends on the gun, there are specific mounts for each.
i like world domination
What is the best way to level up attention skill?
ive been doing shoreline runs for a week now and im only level 5
Uncovering Loot in Loot containers
Do that but a lot more to raise it
yeah but are there cheeky ways of grinding it fast
or certain areas that have lots of loot containers
i grinded the shoreline keys last wipe and got it to max by doing shoreline raids
took a fucklong time though
i just got the game what am i supposed to be doing xD
what are loot hotspots
basically where the good loot is
and also a lot of fighting
don't worry about progression right now as an update is coming reasonably soon
and with it a full inventory/stats wipe
some general tips are always be on the move
don't camp out unless you have the peekers advantage
clear your rooms aggressively
and always assume there's someone about to blast you from any corner
bro i was playing customs and im always in a constant state of fear
yeah it goes away don't worry
customs is a bit lowkey right now due to how lategame it is
though you might find some big boy there once in a while
after wipe though it'll be bumping
like best thing i got was a level 50 dogtag all the streamers i watch seem to farm those
dogtags can be bartered for items
or sold for a nice bit of roubles
they're nice to keep just to see who you've been slamming all those times
i don't sweat when i play video games but i sweat a lot even when i go through a whole raid never seeing a single human. is that normal?
🤷
is there a way to know if a scav was a player scav?
@acoustic quarry if he is a scav and he has a pouch slot its was a player
what does mastering weapons do?
No @bold kernel
naniii
Diff animations when reloading an empty mag and some other nice ones too
ah dank
Like when u load into a game with a m4 and u charge the gun its ultra nutty
been playing for way to long to not know this... but... how do you cancel loading something long like an SKS?
click left mouse after the first ammo is insert. bug always load 2 round min.
i see, just got me killed, but if it's min 2 rounds it might have got me killed either way
like the first round doesnt count or i dont no ...
if my item is insured but I die, and my friend picks it up but also dies, does it still come back or no?
yeah if no one has loot your friend or the stuff is in the raid at the end of the timer
awesome thank you
if your friend keep the stuff you will lose it
the best is to hide the stuff in bush or other !
yo what counts as geared? if anyone knows. when they say 'geared labs' do i need to bring my gen4+ and decked m4 and nades/meds? or is it more lenient ?
im pretty good at game just not in the meta really yet
i mostly play solo
i assume it means more than paca+aks XD
yeah late like that in the patch you need max lv and best ammo
what is lv?
its the minimum what you said !
is it going to be 'late in the patch' for another year? lol
you need the best lol
i usually dont have good gear like i have now, i just save it in my stash for now
oh max level is what u meant im dumb mb
thanks for feedback bud
Unless someone is going as a hatchling your going to want top tier gear or damn near.
Everyone else will be that can
yeah i dont really know what is top gear is actually, i think i have it or close to it
but yeah was just curious. ill prob finally try a labs group when i have a second set of my top tier gear to risk lol
right now i only have like 2 mil and im pretty new to game, but im very familiar and followed game since launch
I think people are more stating geared because they don't wanna carry people who bring the bare minimum in, personally to me geared is just coming into the raid with a decent gun, armour and a helmet mostly although I do have friends who play with gen4, modded guns and no helmet, not sure why
Best bit about people who try play with no gear is we have a 'loot your it own kills' policy when we know they're in it for the carry
Not necessarily, we play a split all loot dealio
We're nice like that
Because we're friends and shit
So even if you don't contribute that raid you may well have done a few raids prior so it's only fair to split shit
Not fair that someone holds a door and gets a stream of enemies one raid then could do the same the next and get nothing imo
yoooo, just got back to eft since a 1 and a half year pause, so i have no clue on what to do and how to play. any suggestions? maybe someone willing to carry me a bit? ehehehe

Faster fire rate
So quicker time to kill
I prefer the M4 personally just because it's cheaper to kit up from my experiences
Like the barrel for the low recoil hk is 41k on its own
and lower recoil on m4
u basically need a meta trash hk for it to be viable
and m4 can look good and be good
Was playing labs with a 7.62 Vepr last night and I was having a great time lol
The fire rate bonus is negligible
And good HK's cost a fortune and are long as fuck
Suppressed the HK is slightly superior, loud the M4 is as good if not better
I wish they would buff short barrels. HK would be so nice as a shorty if not for the uncontrollable recoil
Yeah but 7 slots is great because it's a pain in the arse to loot
Trust me just about anyone is gonna make room in their hand for a phat HK
what is the best for price 9x19 ammo
6.3 AP @naive acorn
Uhhhhhhhhhh
Should you be able to sell your gamma to fence? Cause i couldn't before, now i can.
You always could
i played .07 thru 0.09, then took a big ass pause in between and i need to learn everything again... help me pls?
@iron wraith because it used to be a thing
Is there a link to a guide for clearing floors?
@iron wraith you were able to fail it but they changed the quest, but also didn't remove that penalty
@wet pine a guide for clearing floors? I don't really understand what you mean
I guess you mean how to clear rooms/areas on maps.
I don't think there are any guides from any of the big tarkov guys
you enter a buliding and there's a floor of rooms. I've seen some youtubers just straight up ignore rooms but I'm not sure if that's right
I'd love to but I'm waiting for my eyes to recover a bit more from the transPRK I had weeks ago
I want to get rid of my guns and get in more practice but I'm not the best right now for spotting targets lel
Thats fine I'm used to carrying my friends lol
I'll probably be heavier
Hehe my friends are pretty trash most of them...
I play solo anyways so it's not much difference
oof
Yeah I mainly do solo too and last I remember
I stuck to Customs and night Woods a lot
Woods is pretty trash
Customs is fine
I usually run interchange and hope to fight some squads
I do interchange on my scav a lot, I miss the good stuff for sure but I don't mind the low tier pickings haha
but eventually I want to come in with PMC and that's where y'all come in to help me learn haha
Ya for sure
Interchange is my favorite but I know basically everything about all the maps
Yeah I still got a decent amount of the maps to learn
Plus a new map to learn "soon"
Shoreline is also a map I definitely want to get better at too
Ya I got all the shoreline keys so we can do that too
The good ones atleast
I run shoreline when I want money tho
Interchange when I want PvP and gear
if you're on in say 3 weeks time, I'll definitely hit you up
Probably will be
I just don't want to feel like I'm handicapping you with my blurred vision
I really don't mind
I usually rope in people from this channel and help them out every couple days or so
So you can't be that much worse then them even with your vision
If you're that confident, then perhaps in a week or two 🙂
Any time is good for me lol
yay thanks!
any sherpa available for teaching woods?
Play interchange scav because fat loot
finally found a help channel, thank god
Welcome
hello o/
buying the game? 😉
offline raids, scav raids and youtube videos my friend
Internet maps on 2nd monitor
Run offlline to learn the maps and not lose gear..but you can still fight scavs
Print maps off and put on desk
That'd work too
okay coool
i know the layout of like
factory
and thats about it
xd
ive been playing a lot of interchange because i like being indoors more
I watched a ton of streams before I started..and though I knew what was going on..then started playing and was immediately overwhelmed.
Attachments freak u out"?
Because confusing?
mhm
i've bought so many wrong ones before
and had to sell back
i look up online guides and stuff too
U can double click an attachment and see "compatible with" on the little window..if your weapon is listed it is compatible
but it doesn't give me the name of what attachments they buy
But also Google is your friend. Can google Mod AK74M and see guides and such
i was looking it up for the VEPR
since i heard it was a good noobie gun
still no clue what im buying for it
That was from Google search for" VEPR mod tarkov"
Then the "Mods" section
Has tabs for such things as gas block, muzzle, etc
But I agree it can be confusing when u first start
Some use the Modding screen but a lot just double click the weapon to get the inspect window and then drag parts off and drag parts on. That's personal preference.
At low level u are limited on what u can buy from traders.
So will have to buy from flea market
yeah thats what i usually do
getting trader loyalty lvls is so hard
at like 570k or something right now
Yea just have to buy from them and sell to them.;
I run what I can buy when I'm low level...
Instead of overusing flea..which some new people do
i made that mistake, and had to refresh my account
Take this as practice time....once update hits we'll all be back to 1
I put in the required Tushonka from my stash and it won't let me get the gun
oh I see now
what is sherpa?
people can apply on the EFT site to be a sherpa, you can try and schedule playtime with them to show you the ropes and stuff
there's not many of them though

@bold kernel ^^^^
Anyone have any tips on winning gun fights? I see to lose everyone I get into
A little frustrating
I don’t know, most of the times I’m the one getting caught rather than seeing the person before they do
Feels like everyone has heat vision on me meanwhile I’m a fuggin’ blind person
that'll do it.
1 : check your settings. turn head bob as low as possible and find an fov you like
2nd map knowledge is a large portion of that, players know to pay attention to some high traffic areas, but often only really see people when they are moving or are right up on them
I'm just basically brand new, looking for any useful guidance
if you've done that already start working on mapping.
do either of you have te ammo and armor charts?
buy good ammo over good mods.
If you can only pick one.
@sand apex
See the thing about the settings. Check key binds.
play as a scav to learn maps, as its free gear, and use your PMC for PVP and PVE to get used to and making cash the hard way ( it gets easier after the curve)
I guess the problem I have is I have no idea how to extract out of the maps
it tells me the extraction points but I have no idea where they are
playing as a scav it's also hard to know if I'm seeing a pmc or another scav
@formal laurel
So its mostly a sight thing. Bump contact is hard to deal with. Try adjusting your play style to something a tad slower or a tad faster depending on your preferences til you find a rythme that works for you.
@sand apex
Understandable, best to treat all as hostile until you learn otherwise.
Yes you will deal with scav PVE, but thats not a bad thing. it will force you to learn how to deal with em too
if I shoot a scav, will the other scavs turn hostile?
Others in the same patrole route will, but consider all of them hostile cus the routes are odd and huge.
not to mention other player scavs will KOS most of the time.
Though If you can, avoid contact with scavs.
Its a lot of "feel" for sure.
but we all get there
maps get really small once u learn the lanes.
(escort being a polite word for a street walker)
hey can scavs open doors yet? also can scav routes go between compounds at lets say shoreline? @reef spoke
@autumn quiver I honestly can't recall , but they can't change routes, but the routes might over lap in places.
like bus station scavs will never leave bus station routes etc etc
but resort scavs might go visit them
gotcha i still dont know a lot of little stuff like that
i just assume their all hostile if i took one out
To be fair, that's just been my experince watching scavs and using them as player radar.
ya
Hmm If you killed construction scavs, a lot of the time big red scavs won't agro on you ( sometimes but not always?)
its wonky at best
for example
where is big red
The large building in customs with the office.
gotcha
if you do a scav run can you group with friends?
yeah
you normally spawn on the same route though
ok cool
Uh If the host moves, the spawn point will move too btw. for PMC and Scav
I feel like doing pmc raids with actual equipment is like something to avoid until you have a little confidence with the map and game
@sand apex That's a valid mindset. but also don't be afraid to explore with the PMC, just be cautious etc etc
any noobs wanna play?
i just went thru a lot of gear tonight so im doing scav runs and low gear
@sand apex i just do scav runs then use that gear i get on pmc
rinse repeat for money while havin fun playin
I started a scav run earlier with a mosin
which is a pretty deadly gun in the game I think
mosin is good
7.62x54 is a beast of a round
yee 7.62x54r packs a punch
never got to shoot it though lol
@autumn quiver We could give him a woods walk, easy map to learn
sure
@sand apex wanna tag along?
wow that's fun
my history for the channel just disappeared saying I can't see what anyone said now lol
we could even do scav if u need the loadoat
dont matter to me but we in the voice channel @sand apex
yeah one sec, got a friend too
I could sponsor him a kit no worries
Hi guys! Anyone willing to help me out (re)learn how this game works? Used to play it like 2 years ago, so i'm not completely new to it, but i still need help hehe
Aw, it's cute when people are new and get excited by small things, I miss that
@buoyant mason you talking about me...?
No the guy that was happy about having the mosin scav lol
old players go "ugh mosin" nowadays lol
I'm happy they've lowered the rates of the mosin, just need to make a less hard hitting round than m61 spawn with hunter scavs and we good
Hunter scavs are more scary to me than the mosin ever was lol
Suppose early wipe they're the tiniest bit more forgiving than mosin scavs though
I'm more afraid of hunter scavs than most players tbh
insta 2 tap dead
Hopefully you see him first, otherwise its probably gg
anyone available to teach me woods?

same
i get too anxious and go retarded
or just play offline lol, makarov runs are a one way ticket to not wanting to play
especially at this stage in the wipe
yeah that quest is designed for early wipe not this stage
and just move 15 feet to like the top right or some shit
like a twitch almost
its so annoying
ive tried with pistols
i mean just with games in general
anyone wanna play? pm me.
how to go number 1 in game pls help just drank 15 hot rods and my bladder is about to explode
oh god oh frick
Why does everyone run around with maxed out m4s? How do I get to that level lol?
By playing the game and leveling up
just play the game matey, once you get some money its ezpz
@west echo what level are you?
?
yeah
why do you need to?
alright asshat
I dont think you can within the constraints of the game
however if you want another solution
third party binding programs will easily do what you want
For spa tour part 2, What safe road is he talking about?
Is this the place to ask if there's anyone who wants to help a nooby do some quests? I don't have many hours in the game but I think I'm finally getting the hang of Factory. Customs on the other hand is a different bitch.
Yeah, you can also request a sherpa.
I joined the discord awhile ago but I've never used it. Dunno how things work around here.
Many thanks.
So i bought the game a few hours ago and I am still learning the ropes. If anyone would like to group up or let me tag along, i'd be down!
I've failed customs twice since I posted. I'm trash
I just want to learn these maps before .12. I think I have some time though lol
Mmmm... A bit more than that for me

@sour karma level 3 or 4?
I think
gotta check better later
When do wipes happen btw? Is it like every 3 months or something?
They tend to wipe whenever they implement something different into the game
Last was labs keys etc
I see. So any clue when the next wipe is?
people ask everyday constantly but its not announced or anything so dont wait on it. it will prob be soon tho maybe within a month or two. but no telling they waited on this patch like a year @west echo
@autumn quiver ah thanks for that info man appreciate it
i wouldnt worry about it, just get to know the game and such. if u really like game maybe upgrade your account during wipe, cuz when upgrade u have to reset account anyways
I see okay thanks for that
now that i think about it, i know a lot of games people probably really bummed about an account wipe/reset. but i think its fun, resets everyone
I was asking cause I saw everyone running around with like m4s and like endgame stuff
they wiped enough times the EFT community has meta around the wipe cycles etc for what ammo and what armour to expect enemies in etc
im only level like 16, it didnt take me long to figure out how to get decked m4 and good armour tho, you can def compete with the 'endgame' guys. its like 100-200k for a decked m4 depending what u want on it
scavenge u some junk and bodies on scav runs, they always fun
this game is all about the journey, its not like WoW or somethin XD
Personally I think after about a month if you play everyday and have little goals you wanna achieve this game gets super repetitive hence why I personally think wipes are great! If you get into the mindset of something like a hardcore challenge or something you can always try it at the start of the wipe and when you get bored switch over to do everything normally or the other way round if you'd prefer keeps it a bit spicier
Yeah, I really like the idea of a wipe tbh.
Keeps the game feeling new, and gives everyone a chance to compete for endgame.
Whereas right now, you have the guys that have been playing for like a year in advanced that just shitstomp new players.
Only thing that sucks is I just made 500k yesterday and I'm losing it all XD
Give it a week maybe 2 after the wipe, there will already be people with tens of millions of roubles and maxed traders
We have a guy in our circle of friends who works full time and managed to get to lvl 40 in around 2 weeks lol
my dad works full time, and he's like
lvl 34 in warcraft
and thats AFTER starting a new account
he got his other character to lvl 20 before switching to a warrior
pretty nuts how much people can achieve in their free time
true true
also question
when would you guys recommend going to labs
i dont wanna spend 100k on a keycard unless its worth
Whenever you feel comfortable enough, and have some decent spare cash
The goal when you go into labs, is to earn enough money to repay your keycard off the bat. So that way if you need to extract, you don't lose money. So I would playing slow and careful, and either trying to pick of scavs as they spawn and walk around, or try to pick off decently geared players. But just try to play smart and careful. In my opinion labs is the one map where patience can pay off really really well
keycards are 50k rn
are you able to purchase them off flea?
^^ end of the patch is definitely when to play
is there even an aprox amount of time before 0.12
or do we just assume its coming this month
Hopefully this month, maybe next who knows haha
Everyones been saying "oh its this month, its next week, its today" since june😂
my worry is like - should i keep playing rn, even if everything is going to be wiped
because it could be even 1-2 months from now
or even tomorrow
so idk
might be wasting time if i decide to keep playing and it does happen this week
@true rover yes you should play. Because Tarkov has a hard learning curve, it’s different from any FPS shooter or survival game prior, there are players that have been playing for years and still don’t get it. Patience pays, and experience helps. Avoid sprinting straight to loot rooms, if you fill your game with gold but lose a full kit in the process you will break even or maybe profit. But you are more likely to be 10x more successful if you wait, quietly and carefully roam the map and search for players kill them and get their loot out, once you wipe all players from the map then you can add to the juice by checking loot rooms, if they are looted already oh well.
Tasks you should focus on
- Learn the map
Ahh shoot you might as well. Spend all your money, get it back again, spend all your money etc until it does wipe. Its also a good opportunity to go more geared if you haven't before, gives you a chance to get rid of gear fear before next patch
- Get used to game mechanics and go for headshots
- Learn how to be quiet and lose gear fear
why do i see so many people question if they should play even if its gonnna get wiped.
this isnt an MMO or something. its about the journey and getting the stuff not just who has the biggest stash. if you are just playing for your stash then i guess wait till the next wipe so you dont "waste all your time"
i personally like the wipes, puts everyone down on the same peg for a bit
It only wipes because beta. And everyone read that in the games eula or whatever
And people like to bitch
even if not beta. the wipes make sense. its like seasons and ranks. except in tarkov the ranks are the gear and cash to risk it
i may just be a poor boy in tarkov, but i enjoy when the billionaires come down to my level lmao
Plus wipe removes any conflicts between old and new data
Playing since 0.2 Wipes are part of life
even when it hits 1.0, no longer beta, they will still be updating it a lot, and the spaggetti code will probably bet for more wipes still XD
beg for more wipes *
Even though there won’t be post release wipes.
like you know for sure lol
And mainly the actual game isn’t even close to Nikita’s dream
obviously
That’s why release was set for 2016
tarkov will always be a mess, but hopefully they learn to optimize all systems by tarkov 2. the spaggetti code its built on just cant be perfect
but i like it now
Come up to gen chat b4 we get bitched at.
hashtag where the noobs at
Your mom’s
wow stay on topic or im telling

- Learn the map
- Get used to game mechanics and go for headshots 3. Learn how to be quiet and lose gear fear
No one didn’t anything like that


yep
are toolboxes worth looting? i've never found anything worth more than a toolkit in them
Not really no
looking for noobs to help in the scav uprising class thats about to start
No @iron wraith
Only akm, akmn, akms, akmns
Same gun, N for dovetail mount available, S for folding stock.
yes gun powder
can you do quests as a scav? for instance, can I grab the 5 salewa kits as a scav and hand it to therapist?
You can find items as a scav but quest specific items and all other objectives have to be done as a PMC
Best example is something like the pocket watch quest on customs, that won't spawn unless that quest is active for your PMC and you're running as one as well.
does any new player need help for quests?
ive been playing tarkov since interchange was first out
i constantly play all the time, since i dont have a job, yet i survived only 20 raids
can someone please tell me what the fuck is going on
like, why am i so bad
Tarkov rewards aggressive players more often than not too
If you know their gonna be aggressive though, you can prepare for it.
yeah but i tend to think "what if i go agressive? will he hear me coming" or "maybe he is slow walking towards me and i cant hear him!?"
There's a time and place for everything.
Sometimes if you think too much about it it’s bad
If they are playing aggressive be sure to not be in the spot last they last saw you in...
I do
If you hear a shit fight going down, if you wanna get in on it, go ahead and run but be cognizant of where it's coming from, how much the is, and what kind it is.
Nades and spraying come that way
But If it's quiet, stay quiet as long as you can.
Be aware that everything you do makes noise, and there's no way you can be perfectly silent.
That’s literally the loudest you can be
that is noisy as feck...
brave brave sir garrick... sir garrick ran away... no shame in making it out alive without confrontation.
I see some youtubers just try to flank if they get shot at
Picking your fights and fighting on your terms is a big thing in eft too
if I am solo I'd much rather run...
Letting other players controle tone and pace of a fight is a bad idea
exactly if you dont feel youve got an advantage,, discreation is a better part of valour!
Hello Hello! Anyone willing to help me level up and give me any tips? 🙂
Just lost a ton of gear 😩
your starter gear?
Oh no no. Im level 8. I just everything I spent money on hahah
when in doubt, scav it up, free gear pours in if u make it out
Cool armor and helmet, m4 and shit. FeelsBad
yea when u lose ur first good kit feels bad
i still enjoy scav runs and stuff tho cuz im pretty near compared to most
pretty near
omg pretty new wtf
Im starting to enjoy scav runs
before it wasnt even funny cause i always got killed in like 10sec
yeah other scav playesr suck nowadays
i wish there was a penalty for killing a scav
as a scav
hum... Makes sense
as soon as another player scav notices ur not AI scav they kill u
it kind of has... The AI go ape shit on you
but i see what you mean. could be cool
I for one cant really tell the difference between a player scav and the AI
if theyre not running like crazy or some obvious shit like that
woods is a good maps to learn scav spawns and play as a scav, rush to the ritual circle and try to extract.
Oh i never ran woods. I heard people say thats not google for new players because its so open and you can get fucked by so many angles
is it true?
good**
google... lol
Interchange is an insanely good map to learn, massive loot spawns, plenty of scavs, easy to avoid or engage on your terms and plenty of hiding spots
the extracts are super easy too
oh shit! yeah im starting to learn interchange and it seems like a great map
nah, learn it by heart and you can run it at night 😄 have made me some money on scavruns
i mainly run shoreline. I have a decent understanding of the map to be able to aways know where im at
okay map, not a lot of lot if you don't venture into the resort.
true
i got some good money looting the resort
it was a pretty quiet raid PMC wise so i decided to go there
think i made like 500k in there lol
that is pretty decent...
shoreline is good, learn the key spawns at the beginning of the wipe and youll make some serious dollar
Sure thing! I watched the pestily video on the resort keys and it's been pretty helpful
My problem with interchange to be honest is that to me it's all so similar. I get lost pretty quick in there
me and my buds always run interchange when we need money, we went in, dropped killa, got 4 kiba guns and looted the whole place and left, we were there about 20 mins and made about 600k each it was great
and that was with a rando on here lol
Lol that's some serious cash!
I never faced a boss before
Only yesterday I learned this was a thing
Do they have some different mechanics to them? How do they work?
killa is nice to kill... level 5 armor which repairs..
lol he's different, i was using the SV-98 so it was as simple as 1 round to the head
hes got lvl 5 armour, helmet and a lvl 6 faceshield, he's super aggressive and has an rpk which uses igolnik rounds (usually)
he will actively chase down PMC characters and aggro onto player scavs
usually he has the rpk but ive seen him with the pp19 as well
1 round of m995 to the head would drop him
Oh really? 🤔
yeah, and BP would only take a few
jupp you want full auto... nah I think it takes more...
m995 pens class 5 first time, just dont hit the faceshield 😄
PS is great, its cheap and early wipe you'll demolish most PMc's
you would want to use BP if going against armor
later wipe, its a scav killer just not a geared dude dropper
Veritas app
I don't have iOS, unfortunately :/
All the values are there
Is his app outdated?
Important ones are m80 7n1 m61, 545 bs, 762 bp, and m995 556.
If you are using anything else expect issues
That's nice! Thank you
M80 and m61 are 762 nato
All of those have high penetration witch is what makes them good, right?
Correct
Ap 6.3 for 9 mil
Is 9mil even viable? 🤔
Tbh no.
early wipe yeah but otherwise dont bother
I see
But if you are accurate and up close it can drop someone just the same
I run flocks all the time
Just shoot first..
Glocks
Pistols are useless lol
The recoil is silly
Range and dmg are doo doo
Accuracy doo doo
Drop is doo doo

@gusty mountain 762 PS is a very strong bullet for early wipe and if you dont have access to the higher tier bullets
M80 and 762 ps will.be your best bets till you have acess
Cool
I recommend m80
1 tap chest to lvl 3 and sometimes lvl 4
M80 is strong at any time too in most cases
Wait... Is m80 556 or 762?
762 nato
Oh ok
Yeah I use m995 for ADAR
the adar or m4?
Yes durability has an effect on accuracy and it sits at 80, on top of being .065 and the long barrel is bad too, the 370mm is better
They need to introduce a proper ar15 lower and 16 18 and 20 " barrels
Mech 3 sells receivers
I think
Or you can do the trade at lvl 2 mech
Iirc
Honestly, use a fal or m1a or hunter+pso till you have access to good shit. Those guns all rock m80 which is like honestly op this patch
556 545 get me killed cause poor dmg
Is it ok to buy things I can't get yet via flea market? I hear people say that you should only buy from vendors but I don't know why
If itd cheaper on market then get it sure
if you have the monies...
Fal is 50k. Hunter is 30k. Sv98 is 30k.
Vepr km is 20k for a good sks gun that easily mods for cheaper 
Powerful and cheap
Then when you rolling in Dough you can meta slave with 556 m4 hk and 545 ak74ms
If you like that shit
Btw mosin was the cheap 1 shot rifle to use
Instead, get a sv98 with irons
Same price, but way better.
I'm terrible with bolt action 🙃
Shoots same round, but ergo and available rail etc
I suggest going in offline raids and work on your single tapping and waiting to take your shot
Learn control first before full auto is a crutch
you will soon discover that the FAL on full auto is a monster 😄
Nah DMR fal is best
TBH I rarely use full auto cause I think it's a waste of ammo. But I like the semi cause if I fuck up a shot I still can recover
Bolt action in the other hand. You miss the first time, you're fukt
Nice
Obviously mod it to your liking. Aka bigger mags muzzle and optic
Can I get them with lvl 1 traders? I'm still a lvl8 pmc
Hm.
Well normally people buy mosins cause cheap available rifle that 1 taps
To chest
Till you level up
hey, can someone help me set up a VEPR build?
im kinda confused on how to add like grips and shit
What you could do is buy either hunter and pso scope for sniping, a veprkm for 20k and using mods from prapor lvl 1 and skier lvl 1
Pick up akm and vepr km from scavs
depends on your handguard abaddon
so satisfying to go in as scav with mosin and wipe team lmao
what about for like sights and stuff?
tula 1000
Tt10000
just search the fleamarket for 1000
VEPR KM
abaddon axed about a vepr km
@true roverwwhat you could also do thats cheaper is get the gas block from skier lvl 1 and put a red dot
Then use blk polmyer grip and stock from prapor lvl 1
The gas block has a rail for red dot
i have around 700k, so i have room for like
the more expensive mods
i just wanna use a VEPR to get used to more common guns
You might want to, my favorite gun for wipes
alright so, gas block, red dot, polymer, stock
Thate the ceap build
Is it better than SKS for low lvl players?
Oh nice!
@true rover you can do a magpul build which isnt too expensive but not too cheap
What's the difference between vepr and Hunter?
magpul?
@gusty mountain the accuracy of the adar only starts being an issue at 150-200m before you really notice it.
It can cause some misses closer to commonly , it will print groups a but larger than head at 100m with the most accurate set up.
Magpul handguard, foregrip, pistol grip, and zhukov stock
Slightly smaller than head at 100m***
It's good ergo and recoil reduction without a huge blow to budget
Cmrd handguard and like the other 25k grip are strong but expensive
@reef spoke username checks out. I trust you

@gusty mountain fairly sure I'd touch search " adar vs m4" in either weapon mods or screen shots you'll see a comparison I did
at this point tower could just tell everyone that hunter is bugged and it cannot hit shit at 50m and everyone would believe
kek
If you search***

@gusty mountain you U.S? Maybe we could play together and show you some decent tips
You can take what you will.
Oh that would be very nice! @steady pilot
Yeah better to learn now before wipe comes
Best Time to play for 2 weeks hands down
Do you have a particular server you always play on?
Southern-eastern region
I'd be down to help later delta, we can see who else we can rope in on this and do a 5man
I live in dallas soo
I have good cheap tips for early play and good things to think about
I usually play in Miami servers but no biggie
I'm just bad at sniping which is what I attempt to do with @reef spoke
You're not that bad Delta
If if you like sitting on your dick for 40 mins and dropping people across the map, we are your guys
Ryan bad indeed ,
But not as bad as shoot
Or did you get fired again?
kam you dont even play
Excuse.
Oh shit. Did a read a "hue"?!
/any more
Lulll
Naw, I still play when I wanna chill and snipe, but it's hard to be motivated this late in the wipe.
seal clubbing duh
Though when Tower is ready to scav boss, i'm 100% down to boogaloo
Kam, we've got the bully ranks up on my server if you wanna join
@steady pilot hit me up when you're down to play
@gusty mountain message me around... 9pm EST. Maybe I'll be on by then
Plenty more autistic tips where that came from
Shoot, Ryan, and Tower are all good people
Lol
Most of the time
Also, shoot? Cool?


Is Ryan Delta? I'm kind of confused
Yes
unfortly
Oh ok
Click my name to ping me and you see its ryan
Ohhh ok
hes special, hence the name

And besides Shoot
I spoke to Tower some days ago
so say something ryan
Are you down now? 😉
Oooo
Hahahahahah
Better yet! Helps to build up the tention
Nothing like playing shit while working
im trying to put a VLTOR handguard on my AK and it's not working?
@true rover link search the handdguard
It should work with the stock 762 vepr gt
Kiba Arms VDM CS gas tube
hey yall, just picked up the game. loving it so far. any tips?
Yeh some handguard are their own gas block or attach to gas block or require a certain gas block
Welcome to weapon modding
@placid dust
Get ready to die a lot from random directions, at stupid ranges, at the worst possible times.
welp
i died on a scav run, and i had a labs card on me
fuck
first time i've ever got one randomly
a lot of that so far. having weird input delay though
bruh
ive killed like 5 players
but ive died everytime
and i cant do anything to help me
can i enter in the beginners assistance audio chat or is there like an invite to group thing?
I see there are people there
@maiden trench @clear dagger @bold kernel @true notch Hey guys! is it ok if i join u?
i think its okay jump up here
@gusty mountain no not allowed
anyone wanna help me, brand new to this game o.o
d
deez nutz?
ye idk
There is no fast way
still level 5 health even tho 39
You level health by leveling all other physical softskills
😭
But whatever you do
It wont be fast
It might be quicker (if u powerfarm stress res for like 4 hours lol) but thats still not fast and tedious as fuck
No
Well
Kinda ?
You can level strength with flashed
*flashes
does dehydration stress work?
But thats still slow as shit
i thought they nerfed it
Pff ye that works they only nerfed fire but its still slow as fuck lol
i think gas station fire still works but you might die
Nah fire is very dangerous rn
