soo, unless i spawn with other scavs, shoot first ask questions later?

No

Like as a scav
waxen forge
If you kill a scav you agro scavs
split vapor
Don’t immediately murder them
waxen forge
If they are ai they won't shoot you.
It's all about experience. You will learn to determine if they are ai or player scavs

AI scavs move differently than player scavs too, you'll know the difference soon
waxen forge
Until then you will fail and need to learn from it. Can tell based upon movement, if they have a weapon on back, and are they looting.
rustic bobcat
yeah, as a scav. ah, see i've spawned, seen what i'm pretty sure was a scav. tried a wiggle and got immidiatetrely domed. player scavs suck 😅

why do streamers throw out items off of bodies theyre looting?
bold kernel
You ever try to loot a body with all the stuff inside the corpse or scattered on the ground?
not very safe
waxen forge
Throw out?
One task is to level Charisma (at least is was a task before 12). To level charisma you pretty much need to pick up shit. So I loot bodies, filing cabinets, bags, etc. taking everything onto my player...then discard the junk.
blazing geode
yeah but they're not looting those items
theyre discarding it out of the body's inventory
waxen forge
Or if you mean they discard stuff directly from the dead body then it's so nobody else can loot it. I'll do this occasionally. I'll discard the ammo and gear off a dead body so other's (hatchet boys and player scavs) are less likely to pick it up and are therefore less of a threat to me.
waxen forge
yea. It's scattered everywhere. Some by body.. some under body. Most aren't going to stand there sorting through it as that gets you killed. Even if I hatched in or had a scav with a shitty kit I'm not standing around sorting out loose stuff on the ground
So that player that discarded it doesn't have to worry about you getting stuff from that body that you could kill them with...or could be staking out that area for a free kill on the dumbass who does stand around sorting individual items on the floor.
blazing geode
never seen that ingame tho
waxen forge
I would suspect that a lot of people never think to do it. I do at times but not every time.

waxen forge
it is a bit mean. I'm fine with it. Also if it was good gear I'd have taken it not dumped it on the floor.
waxen forge
However I can be nice (ish). Other day on Interchange I took out a few scavs and a couple players. Heard another player in the hall by the restrooms. He was hurt (could hear him moaning). I voice lined him a few things and he voiced back. Wasn't sure I could trust him though so when he poked his head out I shot him (as he was trying to wiggle). I took his entire kit and stashed it in the restroom that few ever go in. Hope he insured it.
So Bray confirmed he is a bully
elfin fjord
is there only one wave of player scavs that spawn just like pmc's or do they continuously spawn at random times

yeah player scavs can spawn in until like the last 20? minutes or so of a raid

Play. Do tasks, kill stuff.

Doing tasks (quests) are the fastest way to level aside from killing stuff

That's cool @blazing geode but I'd never recommend it for loot runs. Factory has no loot compared to other maps.

steady pilot
The kappa is a massive grind
steady pendant
wait jager doesnt count?
waxen forge
Then I would say that you enjoy factory game play and can take out loot. However to tell new people it's a good loot map is another matter. It's pvp focused and no good loot really spawns on factory. Only "loot' is off dead bodies which is difficult because no time to loot really. Good loot maps are usually bigger and spawn actual loot like Interchange, Shoreline,Reserve
blazing geode
I understand its suboptimal to scav on factory but i personally think that if I get my loot from actual fights and not picking up static spawns im actually getting better
steady pendant
how to do labs
waxen forge
Correct. You can improve pvp skills AND gain loot but what I and I think others are saying is it's not the best "loot" map for noobs
steady pendant
i die so quickly
blazing geode
well yeah thats true it is kind off complex pvp wise
but usually if you spawn in with like 15-20~ mins left most pmcs already left

Also it's just not efficient to kill scavs unless you can gurantee dropping all around you at once and extract right away. Just gonna make your life harder going across the map if you have too. Hiding among scavs is good bait for when players come to shoot them

Quick and possibly stupid question. 1. How do I switch the type of red dot ingame
2. How do I quick bind medical stuff to my hotbar
rocky oyster
@subtle bison switching red dot type: hold ctrl and press rmb. binding medicals: simple way is to just drag them to the slot that you want them in on the hotbar. they have to be in your pockets or chest rig though
on second thought it might be alt and then rmb for you
but mine is set as ctrl and rmb

Thanks, everything is default so that might be the case

to bind shit hover mouse over item and hit a number

Weird question, i feel like the guns are really floppy and floaty when trying to play, and i feel like it affects my gunsfights, is this something that leveling skills sorts out?
bold kernel
There is soft skills that can reduce recoil along with weapon mastery.
Weapon modding plays a part as well
Just picked up someones ak-74N as scav and found it has 47 vert recoil. impressive. didn't know AKs could be modded that low.
rocky oyster
@humble path it gets really floppy and floaty when you have a broken or blacked out arm

Yeah i know the black arm bit, but its just even when aiming and movinng around, its like the guy isnt strong enough to hold the gun

feedback on this spreadsheet? trying to make it as useful as possible for newbies: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1zTJgWmAksbBnjv9wGLXPbMBO2Yhb_F6us2-WJUkThjU/edit#gid=0
it's not significantly different from existing ones, just has a couple additions I find useful, such as ammo price for common rounds
fathom cove
@brittle gate doing gods work. I really like that you linked every bullet to their own wiki 👍
I think not writing a letter when it is not a tracer bullet would make it easier to find tracer bullets
Also maybe add color schemes for the penetration like nofoodaftermidnights chart, makes it really easy to read.
And these are just suggestions, but how about creating a little space between the different ammo sizes/types so it's easier to make them out
brittle gate
@fathom cove thanks a bunch for the feedback 😄 it's appreciated. You're definitely right on the tracer thing, just changed it to just say Yes if it's a tracer round.
as for the other two, my implementation for colour coded penetration was to just change the font colour rather than the cell, I feel like it still gets the point across, do you not think it's clear enough?
also, each alternating ammo type has a different background colour to help show where one ammo type ends and the other begins, is that too subtle do you think?
(and I can't take credit for doing the work of linking the wikis, that's taken from the first listed spreadsheet at the top of my linked sheet)
fathom cove
@brittle gate dude i think i replied way to quick there, you are totally right, the different colors are there and the different backrounds to show the difference between different ammo types
I like it alot, but maybe just maybe if you add like to the left of the ammo types the categories
Thees are all shotgun ammo, maybe it is possible to have space to the left that says that
It would maybe make it easier to look at, i dont know, because as of right now i find it a bit hard to find the bullets if i compare it to nofoodaftermidnights ammo chart
I would say yours looks cleaner, but that one is a bit easier to read
brittle gate
some good points, it'll add a little bit of redundant data due to the ammo type already being in the name of a lot of the weapons, but probably worth it if it makes it easier to find the data someone needs
fathom cove
Real nice, all in all your dedication is real great. Highly appreciated

desert hull
leading is more subtle
its not usually a huge thing
depends largely on weapon type like I said
split vapor
What kind of leading

Anybody wanna play some games with me? Im kinda new but have had the game awhile. Usually play factory to try and get some loot
rich cloak
You guys ever had someone give you the command to kill themselves and complain afterwards? 😂
split vapor
Soap isn’t food don’t try
final ivy
anyone else getting contasnt crashing?
lapis mauve
some you need for quests, but its good for restoring energy
there is a trade for soap
broken birch
soap and tp for armored vest
marble latch
tp?
lapis mauve
or army bag if anyone actually uses it
broken birch
toilet paper
marble latch
ah nice
lapis mauve
you can also use soap to make shampoo and bleach
marble latch
why would you need that? to trade as well?
marble latch
aight thanks! what about gunpowder? I have 3 now, should I just sell them?
lapis mauve
shampoo trades for drugs
rich cloak
4 of the blue ones trade for a ammocase
marble latch
need them for a quest with the therapist, just saw it
rich cloak
@marble latch
lapis mauve
you can make ammo with gunpower later
bold kernel
4 blue and 1 green powder gets ammocase now
lapis mauve
basically every item in the game is useful for something
marble latch
yeah it's what I am starting to understand lol
but with a stash as small as mine I can't keep all of thisa
lapis mauve
but some trades aren't really worth it
i would only keep quest items that are found in raid
marble latch
I need to cut in the weapons I think
lapis mauve
or rather that need to be found in raid
high spindle
anything cheaper than 20k on the flea, I'm just selling. I can always buy it later.
lapis mauve
take off mags and pistol grips to make weapons smaller
sell junk ammo and extra mags
you can buy those cheap
marble latch
I got 2 mosins, 1 ADAR, 1 AS VAL, 2 VEPR, 1 AK-105, 1 AKS, 1 SKS, 1 Hunter
lapis mauve
sell extra guns, save a few for upcoming raids
marble latch
I guess I don't need all of this?
lapis mauve
stack backpacks
marble latch
backpacks are stacked
lapis mauve
i'd keep 5 at most
high spindle
what;s your stash, 10x23?
lapis mauve
val and 105 sell for a good amount i think
bold kernel
unless u get 30 round mags and bullets for the val it can be sold
lapis mauve
usually i sell all my guns and buy what i want to use
marble latch
it's the minimum, I don't know exactly how much it is
lapis mauve
check out the hideout page on the wiki and see what you need to upgrade your stash
high spindle
yea you're just gonna have to stay more liquid until you can upgrade and get cases
marble latch
I will sell the VAL yeah, was keeping it because it was the only suppressed one I have, never used it lol
lapis mauve
and/or save up for cases
marble latch
need 3.5M roubles lol
strong mural
what's the best way to get familiar with the controls for the game?
lapis mauve
offline mode probably
if you just want practice moving and shooting do factory with lots of ai
you lose nothing in offline mode
marble latch
yeah I practice in offline
hard SCAVs, tag and bag or whatever the name of the opotion is
fire away until you are confortable
strong mural
i doubt you keep anything from offline mode
lapis mauve
nope
lapis mauve

strong mural
that's pretty cool

am i allowed to say things here?
split vapor
Technically without accepting the #521628660298678283 to get the pmc you shouldnt even see any of the channels
but no one has fixed the bot
latent plume
how about now?
split vapor
You could talk in here before but yea
latent plume
ok
well i got the game awhile back but didn't have time to play it so i thought it would be nice to get some help on how other that youtube videos
waxen forge
How far back is "awhile"? Before Christmas 2018?
latent plume
all i remember is there wasn't a face hitbox
waxen forge
My point is if it were before Christmas 2018 then you can go the website and to profile...scroll down and "receive additional in-game content."
brittle gate
@fathom cove added the weapon categories, they're semi inconsistent by nature, but perhaps a good start

@brittle gate thats a massive improvement holy hell
Looks real nice, you even included the typical weapons for the bullet type

I guess it's cheap, just not for me right now

oh, lucky headshot on one guy, then me and his mate had a naked gun style shootout across a path with no clear winner 😛
marble latch
is there any disavantage in spawning as a scav for looting?
I always find things already looted
steady pendant
advantage is free gear
disadvantage is the gear can be bad, late spawn, no quests, and you dont have pmc stats
its basically for money
warped locust
or u get a sniper rifle and u get some cheaky shoots from people not expecting it
scavs are a good way to try things that is a bit too risky on pmc
split vapor
pscavs should make pmcs play smarter but pmcs rarely do
bold kernel
no exp for PMC through scav. Just loot. So can slow progression just scaving.

Hey, does anyone have any tips for optimization?
Having some fps drops here and there no matter what graph. settings i have.
(To clarify. 1080 gtx, Ryzen 7 2700x, 16Gb ram)
rich cloak
If you go into the launcher settings you can choose to close the launcher when you launch the game which safe me a solid 10 frames for some God damn reason
Also if you enter the raid go into options and press save for a extra 2 to 3 frames
No fucking clue why that changes anything
bold kernel
@median sail you try loading into an offline raid. maybe go to an intense area and tweak your graphics there?
running 1080 my self and lucky to push 60+ fps at times

@bold kernel as i said changing graphic isnt doing much. Tried lowest and ultra and fps value is nearly the same, still drops below sixty here and there
cerulean cape
anyone got exact list of metam4 parts?

how do i switch firing mode, it gives me an ak and an smg but both single fire, theres gotta be a way

I get freezes coming out of menus sometimes. Unless you can reproduce it and submit a report I think we gotta wait for optimizations
stone jewel
ive been playing this game for about a couple weeks now. I'm trying to get the basics down but its just a struggle. maybe somebody can give me some advice?
median sail
as from what ive seen there are some solid starting guides on youtube @stone jewel
other than that just learn one map now (Customs is what i did) learn extractions, loot areas, where scavs are etc. (Look on google the map for all info). More u run the better u get.
keen robin
trying to list something on the flea market and when i set the price it wont let me hit add?
i'm above min price

@rich cloak Tried another raid with that launcher off at game start, game works now without drops.
Such a silly thing, a launcher. Thanks for advice.

Did you have all 3 of your offer slots full mother?

someone help me im going crazy
rich cloak
@junior linden faceshields
That's all I can add because I allways have the same issue
junior linden
its infuriating
rich cloak
The amount of times I got safed by faceshields is actually insane
Like 2 or 3 times per raid when I'm bringing a facemask
junior linden
Im not good enough to spend money on gear in my opinion. Once I can hit the broad side of a barn Ill stop using baby guns
I feel like I play everyday but never improve
bitter abyss
yo im getting back into the game, i have 4 mil and level 3/2 traders but im too scared to bring anything in and i cant play solo, but i really want to
any help? i dont wanna keep looking for group
im good at combat its just im too scared to bring something in by myself
i can bring shit in when im playing with someone else
fierce galleon
Gear fear will just make you a worse player in my opinion, once you understand the game wipes and your gear will be gone someday no matter what you do I guarantee you'll improve.
rich cloak
@junior linden go into offline raids with the guns you can reasonably afford and just hunt scavs
bitter abyss
well yeah ive been playing since dec 2018 and i still have gear fear lol
i watch back my gameplay when i play with people and im actually good at killing people and stuff like that
but when i try to do something solo i cant do it
idk how to get rid of gear fear and ive tried lol
rich cloak
Just stop giving a fuck and play to enjoy it
Sounds dumb but it helps me a lot
I have raids that I do for fun and I have raids for money purposes
junior linden
I understand. I kill scavs no problem everytime (when they arent aimbotting), it's just pmc's being upclose and personal
offline it is
fierce galleon
If you're going to practice offline, I'd suggest pissing the scavs off instead of one tapping them. Try and make them chase you, like a normal player would
junior linden
I can complete fac on high scav with marked on. Scav's are potatos. I need a ffa mode lmaoo
fierce galleon
You could try boss always on and attempt that, should be slightly more challenging
median sail
Just use the weapons, at the starting point it doenst matter as u dont know the game etc, if u dont wana use those weapons sell them to have money and once u more understanding at game u will have them to buy guns u actually want
junior linden
I know the maps/game fairly well. Been around for 5 months. I've just never had such a hard time aiming in any game in my lilfe. This is the only game I actually know I'm a shitter at

Something strange just happened.. Some pmc killed some scavs, I went and took a look. I caught him looting the bodies, and proceeded to shoot at his head for half a mag before I died... Is there a known issue where seemingly the other player is not updated or something?
bitter abyss
helmet?
eager stump
The shot came from his direction
And the fact that he already took 20+ bullets to the head seemed strange

so helmet or nah?
split vapor
couldve been ricocheting rounds off
bitter abyss
are you sure the guy on the ground wasnt the guy who shot you and was dead, and it might have been someone else in the same direction
also thats a possibility
eager stump
Customs, I was around for a while
half jackal
ah
eager stump
He was alone shooting the scavs
half jackal
You were using 856A1?
half jackal
856A1 has 34 pen, which means they'd have to have a level 4 or higher helmet to really survive a HS
eager stump
Hm, okay, guess he just tanked half a mag then
half jackal
it could probably be desync
or you missed a few shots, because depending on his armor he could definitely tank 4-10
or both
