hey what scope can go on the sks i am trying to find one but i cant and i dont want to use ironsights so am i S O L?
split vapor
umbral hatch
OP sks or regular sks?
split vapor
You need the OPSKS rifle part
umbral hatch
^
split vapor
that allows a dovetail thing to go on
umbral hatch
OP sks has a dovetail mount
Do you can put mounts on there and also things like psos and the funky night scopes
And also the dovetail ekp and dovetail okp
split vapor
pso, or the B13 rail from skier for any dot or scope
steady pilot
opsks has pisspoor accuracy past 100m
split vapor
that too
steady pilot
i dont recommend using the gun
split vapor
but it is p trash
steady pilot

umbral hatch
Your opinion dont matter
steady pilot
not an opinion its fact
umbral hatch
Naw
split vapor
Uh no its a fact that the sks' accuracy stat is trash
steady pilot
okkkk..
normal bear
ye normal sks gucci mid range thing tho
steady pilot

normal bear
and cheap
umbral hatch
Fact
split vapor
just buy a r700
steady pilot
you dont use it like a "sniper"
ancient jungle
so is the vepr hunter better then the adar?
steady pilot
@reef spoke he'll give you sucky sucky for lessons
ancient jungle
i have been using the adar for my budget builds
steady pilot
adar is very garbage
umbral hatch
80 80 lower kek
merry terrace
I hear Vepr Hunter is very deadly @ancient jungle
steady pilot
so it has .065 accuracy, as well as having 80/80 durablity, which acts like 80/100 durablity, which means it is a 100% accuracy loss
effectively doubling your spread
ancient jungle
alright thanks im still very new and trying to learn all of this there is so damn much XD
umbral hatch
You guys do too many tests
steady pilot
NAW
umbral hatch
YAW
merry terrace
@ancient jungle A solid gun I've been enjoying is the SKS from Prapor, it's a bit over 20,000 per rifle and the ammo is pretty good and powerful
steady pilot
sks bad
umbral hatch
@reef spoke sucky sucky
merry terrace
To start out and learn I disagree
umbral hatch
Gtg real quick
merry terrace
Well that's if you have market access
ancient jungle
for me lvl 5 took 4 days when i starts XD
waxen forge
4 Days?
ancient jungle
yeah when i had no clue about anything in this game
waxen forge
Damn
steady pilot
this cost me 17k
15k from market, then bought blaack polymer
has a grip slot if you want to add one. you can get tt01 railed iron sight if you want a collimter. and buttpad is 3k
split vapor
Bad
merry terrace
SKS has solid stopping power and in my opinion is a good option for learning how to use more high power rifles and stuff, and you cab upgrade it somewhat easily if you want, but as is should do you well. @ancient jungle
steady pilot
they shoot the same round
for an effectively better platform that has 30 rd mags and not ridiculous reload time
sour plume
if I'm playing with 8gb ram, how large should my page file be?
or will it not help at all
waxen forge
8GB is rough
steady pilot
you will probably run into plenty of issues with only 8gb
waxen forge
EFT eats ram
steady pilot
reserve will be unplayable for oyu
sour plume
i already notice occasional stuttering
just wondering if page file will offer a noticeable difference cause for some reason i had it disabled
merry terrace
If you wanna get used to sniping do SKS, if you wanna get used to rifles, use what delta is suggesting
waxen forge
I tried to play once on a 8gb system. Not worth the effort. Too many problems.
steady pilot
bruh the overall stats are better
alright
getting the chart
havent updated it since 11.7
but everything but the rpices
are the same
merry terrace
That's not what I'm arguing, I'm saying that other in game sniper rifles operate similarly
They'll use what they wanna use, doesn't have to be the meta to be good
cerulean cape
put a 10 round mag in vepr and youll hav eto reload just as often as your other rifles lul
lapis mauve
If you want a top loader to simulate a “sniper rifle” just get an sv-98 for 30k and one tap people’s chests
steady pilot
sv98 doesnt topload
lapis mauve
I
steady pilot
only r700 and mosin
steady pilot
or get the chad cannon
lapis mauve
I’ve never used sv-98 lol
steady pilot
top load takes 5 years to reload after dumping the 10 rounds
effectiveely killing you
lapis mauve
Vepr km is better and looks better imo
steady pilot
a veprkm has 10 rd mags which fit in pocket
so you can have 3
and reload 5x faster
lapis mauve
Or a drum if you never want to reload
merry terrace
I like the SKS because it trains you to be a better shot and reload efficiently
You have to be careful with it so it trains you to be careful in general which is good for survival

anyone willing to voice comms and help out with a newcomer like myself?

then you can request a sherpa to guide you or #pvp-lfg
reef spoke
OP sks and the standard SKS need to have their accuracy stats swapped.
SKS is fine weapon for learning, VEPR KM is better over all, but sks is fine.
steady pilot
that is the real issue
the sniper variant
has the worst accuracy
and cost the most
for some god damn reason
merry terrace
Fair enough. I feel like most people would grab a Vepr off someone's body than an SKS which will help folks get insured goodies back
That's another reason I like it
merry terrace
Okay but what's worth more money to sell
steady pilot
they are the same
the sks technically sells more on the market
than vepr
which is 15k.
heres sks
they are the same
price
again my build for vepr cost 17k with basic lvl 1 prapor modding
and off the bat has better stats
you can spend 10k putting a tapco stock on
vague wind
What is your sks build?

you can have fun but dont ignore the better/efficient stuff when suggesting options :)
my pet peeve
merry terrace
I wasn't suggesting it was better, just that it was an option based on my own experiences
steady pendant
mosin is nice overall with the best ammo
steady pilot
just use a sv98 ironsight
merry terrace
🤷
umbral hatch
yeah well overall the hunter is better than both
steady pilot
for the same thing but better
umbral hatch
I love mosin irons
steady pendant
yall should try no ironsight
umbral hatch

What munitions does Sv98 use?

which is one everyone uses
steady pendant
oof
steady pilot
thats pretty high
umbral hatch
I mean that's just penning
merry terrace
2 shots should guarantee pen then
steady pilot
unless you can gurantee 2 consecutive shots with snb

So question, when I finish the first quest for Prapor and unlock the Ak74-U, does that mean I'll unlock mods for it as well?
steady pilot
mods are basically unlocked
umbral hatch
Ye
steady pilot
just within certain trader levels
merry terrace
Ah, makes sense
steady pilot
also, this cost 70k without optic.
merry terrace
Sad boy hours because need new HDMI before I can play again
umbral hatch
I want that emote
merry terrace
Is that a good long range option if you can drop the dosh on modding?
steady pilot
absoutlely
umbral hatch
It's a better vepr hunter
umbral hatch
But
steady pilot
m80 is 80 dmg 45 pen, 7n1 is 84 dmg 45 pen
same thing
vepr hunter much cheaper still

i lags a lot and load slowly on reserve and shorelines, will an ssd fix it all

whats your processor

I don't know much about computers, I just know my first map takes a little bit to load, the frames are bad for a few seconds after spawning, but then I'm fine the rest of the time

your processor and gpu have to work like a handshake

8gb of vram 👌

Explain vram
boreal inlet

so it's like your cpu RAM but for your graphics hard
umbral hatch
Ah
steady pilot
how much memory your gpu can process
umbral hatch
Yes
merry terrace
@boreal inlet Surgery Kit or surviving the raid with a med station unlocked in your hideout I think, anyone more knowledgeable on that?
steady pilot
cms kit
merry terrace
Oh okee
steady pilot
umbral hatch
But if you look on something like amazon or newegg and it says something like 1080ti 8gb gddr5
The 8gb is its vram
steady pilot
it means vram
umbral hatch

Where do you find CMS kits or Surv12 kits?
umbral hatch
My dad would always say "what's a card like that going to do for you"
steady pilot

umbral hatch
Heh

just not space
umbral hatch
Uh oh pc broke

@boreal inlet So I guess you can buy CMS or Surv12 kits from the Flea Market, or survive the raid with a med station unlocked
waxen forge
RGB makes it faster too.

@steady pilot answer this one

i dont know i dont use trash guns /shrug

do linked search on the gun and you can look up the chassis's and compare

best overall*
earnest trench
i'm scared to play
zinc tartan
I know that, just looking for a quick pro/con to them.
steady pilot
price, recoil reduction, ergo
umbral hatch
steady pilot
one of them is probally a full chassis, so you're stuck with those stats, and another one allows you to put different grips and stocks
umbral hatch
There ya go dad

just the price tho

@earnest trench Are you just starting?

how do you level the traders? just tasks?

@final ivy money spent, trader rep
umbral hatch
Tasks level and spending money
When you sell something to them that also counts as money spent

you can raise money spent by buying or selling to them. level is obviously get that lvl. and reputation earned throguh quests

is it individual? or across all traders?

0.2?
umbral hatch
Hold up
split vapor
yes 0.2 as like august 2017
umbral hatch
But

@umbral hatch i'm not sure, having a very stressful life I'm not sure I should play this

anyone know if theres a way to reduce the tinnitus effects volume? im genuinely terrified of playing the game because one time i had a kolpak on as a level 5 and as a level 13 im still terrified of getting the tinnitus effect again
umbral hatch
Uh
chrome swallow
i know dont wear kolpak but i had nothing
umbral hatch
Isnt the point of tinnitus the ringing?
merry terrace
Yeah but some folks are sensitive to high pitches
umbral hatch
But also theres no way to reduce it
chrome swallow
yeah the tinnitus hurt
umbral hatch
Except lower your volume
Whenever it happens I usually just take off one side if my headphones
merry terrace
Lower the sound effects a little bit, I have to do that as well because high pitched noises really hurt
earnest trench
@chrome swallow gun blazing is supposed to do that, you can thx nikita for realism instead
chrome swallow
also on customs the old gas station exit, i got it as a pmc yesterday and it didnt work
merry terrace
Headphone in game also help I think?
earnest trench
@chrome swallow I'm kidding
umbral hatch
I dont mind high pitch noises but I hate high pitched kids voices
But I think everyone does
merry terrace
Same, sort of. I don't know how but dog whistles make my head hurt cuz like I can just barely make out the sound
But yeah, lower sound effects just a bit, and try and grab headsets in game

another random question, are landmines in set positions or are they randomly generated in their designated ground thing if that makes sense
split vapor
the mines are set on those few maps
merry terrace
Yeah it's really strange. You have to have very sensitive hearing to hear certain frequencies, most normal humans can't hear dog whistles but quite a few can so 🤷
strong trout
He knows that, but I think he’s asking if within those set locations are the mines in the same place every time or is the field randomly generated @split vapor
umbral hatch
I personally have never gone to that area
strong trout
Which would actually be really good to know since if it’s set you can just remember a safe path
umbral hatch

Veritas
strong trout
@limpid osprey depends on what Specs your PC is working with
chrome swallow
veritas is my fav
limpid osprey
@strong trout I have an i7600 & GTX 1080. I tweaked around the settings a bit and got it playing a bit smoother but I think it could look better
umbral hatch
Taa?
strong trout
I’m on a ryzen 2700x and an R9 Radeon 390 and I run around medium.
chrome swallow
on the topic of graphics, what is it that makes things have the uh...white pixel looking outlines
strong trout
It really depends on what you think is important, personally I find having stuff like motion blur saves me frames AND makes it easier for me to see what I’m lookin at
split vapor
turn moition blur down
strong trout
Also I don’t really care about lots of aliasing on my screen so 2X temporal is usually enough for me
chrome swallow
whats the noise thing do?
strong trout
It comes down to what you like, but I’d say with your specs don’t go above high-midline settings
limpid osprey
yeah I've turned blur off and reduced shadows. Are shadows that important?
split vapor
no idea
merry terrace
I think they can give away positions and vice versa
strong trout
Shadows are important but as long as they’re not outright gone them being high vs ultra or something like that probably won’t make a difference gameplay wise
limpid osprey
yeah I was thinking that but would probably benefit me more a bit down the line. I'm an utter Tarkov noob
trim elbow
@limpid osprey join me ill help u out on some beginner quests if you need it

any underground tunnels?

The only advice I'd have would be
Advoid the construction area on the way to extract unless u want pvp, and advoid the road when at all possibl3
bold kernel
You have the zb extracts they lead to a tunnel
ruby sedge
Move cover to cover with the available foliage
ebon flume
also be mindful of scav boss at gas station

low level armor wont save you from getting one tapped by players

not in customs

Its cheaper than lzsh I am using now?
pale flower
just follow the outside of the map

How much?
ruby sedge
40k~
cobalt peak
And lzsh with faceahield around same ye?
frosty spruce
sherpa running lvl6 and an altyn to do customs
ruby sedge
the lzsh with face is quite a bit more
ruby sedge
thatd be your pvp helmet
ruby sedge
yeah its much cheaper
not better
restricts your hearing a bit unlike the lzsh
but its like 20k cheaper
cobalt peak
So 6b23 kiver and mosin/hunter for woods quest should be alright build to farm 15 scavs
ruby sedge
yup
cobalt peak
I will drain 500k or so do the quest as I have like 20hours on this game but its freaking fun
ruby sedge
best of luck bud :] only thing i got for u for killing scavs is play slow
let the map develop a bit before you move to where u want to kill scavs
try and kill the second wave and you can get quite a few safely
cobalt peak
Best way is to go along the wall to the scav house yea?
ruby sedge
debateable, if you dont know the map very well yes
if u know the map a bit cutting across is safer, alot of people follow the wall

Interchange is good for getting fucked on by high levels with big guns
vague wind
Me and my friend just bring and adar some level 4 armour and a level 3 helmet
bronze prism
interchange is good for going in cheap and leaving with a few base materiels
if you REALLY need money
terse sedge
@civic granite IMO playing with 2 is the best way to play this game, just enough teamwork to make it super fun, but not so much that it's obnoxious to keep track of like a full group. There's also enough loot to share with 2
ancient jungle
yeah i am trying to learn interchange
bronze prism
because people pay out the ass for ins. tape and C hoses
do you have a map
an out of game map
terse sedge
Hoses have tanked in price
bronze prism
the in game ones suck dong
ancient jungle
but everyone be being rude when i ask for help XD
vague wind
The map for interchange is so fucking confusing tho
bronze prism
hoses were 140k yesterday
vague wind
i just played enough until i understood where the extracts are
terse sedge
I bought them for 100k yesterday
bronze prism
could be people undercutting the price
terse sedge
I got excited cause I found 3 in one hidden cache on interchange, then saw they weren't worth 220k anymore
bronze prism
130k is still good
terse sedge
Yeah, I just used them for my hideout
bronze prism
if you have enough that 130k can't buy all your kit for a mission, then you shouldn't worry about losing more than you make anyways
just run a cheap AK
Vepr is good too
terse sedge
I usually run a cheap ak with a reflex, or a mosin
I had a really good adar, but lost it cause I suck
solemn rampart
All u need is a toz, thats the whole loadout. Maybe use 4 round mags and a sight but thats optional. If u get in a fight just headshot or leg meta.
vague wind
adar with foregrip and scope is like 60 its pretty good
terse sedge
Toz is worthless when you get sniped from across the map
vague wind
the only thing about the adar is that m995 is so bloody expensive
solemn rampart
U see, my loadout is only 7k lol
bronze prism
don't be out in the open if you don't want to get sniped
solemn rampart
@terse sedge thats what slugs are for, and just run interchange not shoreline with it
terse sedge
There was a guy camping spawns on interchange last night, as soon as u hit the road, boom headshot
Svd I think
bronze prism
night time it up
solemn rampart
Lol, why u on road?
terse sedge
It's a joke that people can be on the map before u spawn
bronze prism
don't PMC always spawn on fresh raid
bronze prism
it's only if your computer loads hella slow
bronze prism
otherwise everyone is stuck waiting for slow head to load before they can play
ruby sedge
and sometimes i spawn in late
terse sedge
There's just no way that's true. I've spawned into factory, customs and interchange, Sprint straight for the closest loot and there's dead bodies everywhere and every container is looted. You can definitely join games that have been in progress much longer than 1-3 minutes
It seems to happen almost every game on factory, I rush straight to the office area and there's piles of dead scavs but never heard shots
There's been numerous threads on Reddit about joining games where stuff was already looted as well, so it's definitely more than 1-3 minutes
normal abyss
@bronze prism you want instant profit, buy 4 kite gunpowder, trade to mechanic for ammo case, then sell to therapist
hot slate
or buy the money case from therapist then sell it right back to her @normal abyss @bronze prism
normal abyss
20k roubles ish and you do it out of raid
hot slate
@ LL4
normal abyss
F
hot slate
oof
normal abyss
Tfw too low level

normal abyss
When you have more than 25 mil money case is better
bronze prism
is that the max stack
normal abyss
No lol 500k is
bronze prism
ooohhhhh ok
normal abyss
Money case stores 24.5 mil
normal abyss
Used to be like 18 mil
bronze prism
so yeah I can see that , thanks!
normal abyss
No worries
But yeah be mindful that a lot of barters can be free money
Sometimes you can buy from flea, do the trade, then sell instantly for a bit of profit
For limited barters
You're effectively selling your trade limit for the current trader reset (the timers on each trader)
Btw sell the ammo case to therapist, not to the flea market
Flea has fees so always know how much therapist buys certain things for
bronze prism
Im using the ammo case
is that a trade I should do when I have enough powder for a second case
normal abyss
Yeah but if you have 100k you can buy one and sell it for 120k
If you want an extra 20k you should do it whenever the trade is available
And for most new players 20k is a decent amount
The only downside is the fact that you can't do the trade again for another couple hours
- the 30-40 seconds it takes to do the whole thing
bronze prism
is the TOZ with the rifle body and slugs worth using vs scavs and less kitted pmcs?
lapis mauve
If it can deal with lvl 3+ armor or kill them in a few leg shots any gun works
Pm can one hit kill anyone without a faceshield
normal abyss
My answer is if you can get an sks or a vepr then no
lunar coral
Depends on distance, really. It's difficult to hit anything with shotguns past like 50-100 meters without a lot of luck
lapis mauve
Yeah, spending an extra 10k or so for a gun that is actually good is probably worth it
bronze prism
because IDC if I lose a toz
normal abyss
It's less viable than a pistol, I'll put it that way
lunar coral
you've got to take false economy into account too
bronze prism
because it's bolt?
lunar coral
it might be cheaper, but think of it this way
normal abyss
Because it has limited range and won't headshot as comfortably
A pistol will still one tap a scav
lunar coral
if you lose 10 fights because of the disadvantage the Toz gives you
how cheap was it
normal abyss
Or any player without a face mask
lapis mauve
You can kill ai at around 100m with a Glock, love the green iron sights
normal abyss
Good old spicy taps
But yeah I'd take a pistol with one round over a toz almost any day of the week
You can one tap a scav and you should be able to take his gun which will often enough be a rifle
mighty chasm
i hope this is a good chat to ask in since its called beginners assistance. is there anyone who could play with me and teach me whats what. i have no clue what im doing

normal abyss

hasty walrus
Is peacekeeper "mentor" quest fixed? Will it give 300 as written or bugged 150?
sharp bough
@normal abyss thanks for being so friendly
normal abyss
Yeah no worries man, I'm here to help
sharp bough
this game is kinda ruthless 😄
sharp bough
im level 13 at the moment. but I really struggle
map knowledge is bad, I only really know customs
mighty chasm
i killed one guy and got tapped while looting, doesnt help that i was on his body for prolly a full minute
normal abyss
I can definitely help with the economy side of things a lot
First rule of tarkov: there's always another one
sharp bough
i would ask you 101 questions and I am sure that would help massively also
normal abyss
You can ask me literally any question right now and I'll do my best to answer it
warped locust
do ppl break down guns then vendor the parts to some trader or flea it all?
mighty chasm
whats the dif between scav and the other guy
normal abyss
You'll get more money if you part out a gun
warped locust
@mighty chasm scav is randomly generated, pmc u use your own gear, scav is allied with other scavs till u kill one
normal abyss
^^
mighty chasm
can you get gear using a scav and give to pmc?
warped locust
yes
sharp bough
you have a cooldown of 15 minutes @mighty chasm on your scav so when you raid / die you have to wait
normal abyss
When you extract you can put it in your inventory
warped locust
scav is to give u a break from losing all ur gear, feels good
normal abyss
You can reduce that timer btw
sharp bough
@normal abyss using hideout, another thing i need help on 😄
mighty chasm
ok. what kind of gear should i look for, like i saw a bunch of like tape and stuff, is it all junk?
warped locust
hideout being rep locked is killin me, need millions spent on vendors 😦
normal abyss
@mighty chasm so a lot of stuff has weird prices on the flea market right now
mighty chasm
and how am i supposed to know if they are a scav or not?
normal abyss
Anything you'd find in a hardware store is often valuable
waxen forge
Items needed for Hideout
If you are a PMC it doesn't matter if they are a scav or not. Shoot them
warped locust
ai have certain obvious behavior, its pot luck if a player scav will even wanna be friendly
bronze prism
I feel like those spreadsheets are not helpful to a new player
swift robin
how can i change the region to EU in the pre-order page?
If i use a VPN i can have problems, no?
mighty chasm
i dont have anything on pmc so im nut using it anyway
waxen forge
How is a picture of items needed to keep not helpful? And a list of Items for Hideout. Kinda simple really.
Identifies what is useful/valuable
warped locust
new players cant keep items cause u run out of room if u dont sell alot of it 😄
mighty chasm
what is the hideout for
bronze prism
because it's a lot of info that a player 30 minutes in won't understand easily
waxen forge
But yet it's info that is needed
warped locust
hideout has a mountain of features, usually u use it to make things, alot of things 😛
waxen forge
Click link. Save link. Reference when looting.
Oh I picked up something useful not junk. Thank god I had a reference.
mighty chasm
so can i just log in a scav and log out if it has a decent gun and put it on main?
it says warning you dont have the proper map in you inventory?
bronze prism
u have to actually extract
warped locust
u can buy maps form the therapist but ppl use the wiki instead
normal abyss
Maps used to let you choose your spawn
mighty chasm
how do i extract?
warped locust
also something that tripped me up when i started, the extracts with ???? have either special conditions or might not be available
normal abyss
Double press the letter O
It'll list the possible extract locations
Then cross reference that with a map you find online
Head there and just stand in the right area
warped locust
its 2019 man, 2 is minimum req 😄
mighty chasm
lol im broke
waxen forge
Map on 1 game on other...2 will do
mighty chasm
where do i find a good map?
mighty chasm
and how do i cross reference? is there a map in game? how do i know where im going
waxen forge
You just have to learn the maps
warped locust
mabye start with customs and just learn the hell out of it using the map
mighty chasm
i assume the fist symbol is difficulty... why is there only hard and insane?
warped locust
eh?
waxen forge
Those are more placeholders. Don't focus on those descriptions. The times are also incorrect.
mighty chasm
why even have em then
waxen forge
Placeholder means will be replaced with accurate information when game is further in development.
I would guess they have it in there to assist in designing the graphics/menu
mighty chasm
makes sense
why does it say attention my progress wont be saved due to offline mode? the offline mode box isnt checked
waxen forge
It says that as if you were checking box so you know what box check would do
If don't check box ignore it
warped locust
insurance screen only one that matter rly
mighty chasm
how do i heal? it says i should return and heal before raid
waxen forge
Buy cheese (ai-2) med kits from therapist. Looks like square slices of cheese
olive solstice
is ammo not insurable?
mighty chasm
i already have some in stash
mighty chasm
how do i use it
waxen forge
Right click on cheese and "Heal all"
olive solstice
whack
mighty chasm
