hell dude i've got a stupid amount of time in game and still die a decent bit.

solemn rampart
Yea everyone does XD
reef spoke
(sitting at 2.7k hours )
solemn rampart
Lol. Do you play anything else XD
errant snow
I'm trying to not get growls about dying, survival chance is naturally low
reef spoke
not anymore, I'm a binge gamer really. I've stray a littl ebut pretty much just chill on tark
I do a lot of testing though so its not ALL gameplay
good amount of time is research
solemn rampart
Yea i get it, but i mean pestily already does tons.
solemn rampart
What u doin?
reef spoke
I study external ballstics and optics in game.
solemn rampart
External balistics? And whats to study on the optics?
reef spoke
yeah what the round does after it leaves the barrel. and on optics everything from zeroing, to zero relations, optic diamentions, reticle diamensions etc etc
solemn rampart
Huh
vernal anchor
Lots of sniping
solemn rampart
Honestly i would usually never put that much thought into the game lol. But eyy cool that u guys are
reef spoke
-shrug- I can't shoot IRL atm due to a location change, so this is a stand in
solemn rampart
Lol. Ive shot a ok variety of guns but not too often
reef spoke
I was big into precsion long range shooting for the last 9 years.
solemn rampart
Ive never been anywhere where i could do that. Most the guns i shot were a few types of pistols, a remington lever action, a few hunting rifles and i believe my brothers mosin negant
Most the time the sights arnt aligned and we dont do very well 😂 but its fun
reef spoke
aye that's what counts at the end of the day if you're life doesn't depend on it
solemn rampart
Well, at least i know how to handle a gun. Lot better than lots of folk. But yea, we do need some proper practice and take better care of them.
ornate pasture
i just got the game can someone play with me to teach me the basics
solemn rampart
@ornate pasture yea i can help ya out a bit
high spindle
stop scav on scav violence
errant snow
If you're a scav, will bosses attack you?
high spindle
and if you wiggle check and then shoot me in the back
special circle in hell for you
dusky hazel
Kinda agree with ya on that one
high spindle
been a bad day for getting killed by other player scavs
gilded coral
amen to that @high spindle
errant snow
Is that a common thing for scavs to not shoot each other
dusky hazel
It should be where everyone works with their factions. But there is a comon argument that since usec kill other usec and that bears kill other bears that it's okay for scavs to kill other scavs
I don't agree with the scav bit. I'm anti scav on scav violence
high spindle
I hope there is some sort of karma system added
dusky hazel
That should all change when both the karma system is added and voip
high spindle
a rogue scav with a history betrayal will lose AI scav trust or something
dusky hazel
Yep
cerulean cape
svd is only semi-auto that can fire 7n1 right?
dusky hazel
I believe so, but chances are good I'm about to be corrected
cerulean cape
been loving SVD with valday, but so expensive lol
solid gulch
@dusky hazel no you're right, SVD is the only semi-auto that can shoot the sniper cartride, the mosins and SV-98 can also but they bolt-action
forest oracle
might be a dumb question, but any chance someone can help me out with prap's third quest? the factory step. i ALWAYS die on factory either while placing the item or going to it. lol
solid gulch
join a 5-man, maybe even at night (a cheap NVG setup is like 30k not incl. helmet)
forest oracle
i would join a 5 man, but its actually my first time asking for help with EFT. i can get a NVG setup rn if needed and if it would be better i totally will.
its really just me and two friends who play eft together and theyre both sleeping. (maybe a bad time to do this part of the quest) not sure

that combination is sub 110k

tawny atlas
what is the best budget armor and helmet?
it mostly for protection against scavs from what i understand as pmc will most likely be rocking good ammo
ember brook
I have no idea what I am doing in this game I just got it. Some one help me I keep loosing my stuff 😦
tawny atlas
run offline raids until you can kill scavs
watch some youtube peeps are soak in there info
ember brook
Yeah I tried the offline raids and could not find any exits :/
tawny atlas
i assumed you meant lab key card
oooo nevermind just re read your post. sell on the flea market
frosty crown
its a "terragroup lab acess keycard"
tawny atlas
@ember brook pull up a map on your phone or a second screen run without scavs on to figure the maps out
tawny atlas
@frosty crown if you are lvl 5 use the flea market if not hold on to it till you are
frosty crown
im looking on the flea market and they're selling way cheaper than 200k
unless im looking at something wrong
tawny atlas
yeah running offline raids doesn't take your things from you regardless of what it says @ember brook
@frosty crown just checked and you must be looking at the wrong thing
ember brook
Oh well I mean I just got one pistol left so cool :3 what map should I learn first any suggestions?
frosty crown
i think im getting confused cuz they're trading for them?
tawny atlas
the first quests are on customs though it is a hard map
frosty crown
and im just looking at cash?
ember brook
Okay ill check it out I guess
tawny atlas
i usually turn the trades off
get ready to be punished over and over again but you will get your legs under you at some point @ember brook
i would offer help but am also very new to this game and PCs in general
ember brook
Ah its cool thanks for the help :p
fathom narwhal
can u buy the quest items from the flea market?
solemn rampart
@fathom narwhal yes. But some quests require you to find the item in raid
fathom narwhal
how do I know which one I can buy and one that I have to find?
solemn rampart
It says find in raid in the ques, ex: find 5 salewas in raid.
Although you can actually buy the salewas that was just an example
ember brook
I did it FINNALLY got my first run in customs with a scav I got crap stuff but its what ever
fathom narwhal
a ok
solemn rampart
Aight, night yall, got work tomorrow

warped locust
hey whats a extract in red mean? disabled?
errant snow
So I had a bunch of extracts in customs but I couldn't find any and the one I did find wasn't there?
warped locust
yeah ??? ones are random or have special conditions or both
like if the dorms one is there, u gotta pay roubles to use it
errant snow
Oh right
warped locust
theres usually one garenteed fre extract on a map
errant snow
I tried following a map but couldn't find it
broken moon
Which maps are you using Alleyna?
rich cloak
@warped locust AFAIK it means that it isn't available anymore
For example if the train on reserve left
thin dawn
Hm. I still am not sure what splints are useful for if they cant really fix black limbs.
I do know you need the CMS or the surgical bag to make them not black though.
Those things cost so much in rubles on the fleamarket too.
robust jackal
@tawny atlas bit late but a Paca and Pot Helmet will mostly keep ypi safe from getting one shot by scavs.
That's my budget kit
And a Sks
Literally got a shotgun to my face yesterday
plucky goblet
@thin dawn you can break limbs and fix that with splints
thin dawn
Broken is black or?
I tried sticking a splint on a black limb and it didn't seem to trigger
robust jackal
Black limb won't come back unless you have a surgery kit
What you can do is use painkillers to get rid of the pain
So you can extract
brisk mortar
Broken is a debuff, blacked is a zeroed limb.
errant snow
I was using a map I found on my phone
I found the 2 custom exits now though and know where they are
But....GAWD DAMN that is a LONG trek across the map without getting rekt
robust jackal
You will see a fracture icon looks like a broken bone.
Most dangerous places are around dorms and Scav Checkpoint.
Died a few times around Ruaf Roadblock too
errant snow
I'm looting and killing scavs in offline mode to know generally where they spawn
And to get faster with inventory, etc
rapid minnow
if you die in the middle of the unlocking animation, do you lose the key you were using?
meager tulip
customs has a lot more than 2 exits.
robust jackal
Just saying you can do many actions while looting
You can examine an item
Search a bag
And heal
At the same time
One of each action
errant snow
I know where the boat one is and kinda where the dorm extract is
robust jackal
@rapid minnow keep keys on your safe container
errant snow
I was learning where the always open ones were
meager tulip
You should also learn smugglers boat and the dorms one for PMC runs. Those tend to be easy to get to.
When they're up of course.
meager tulip
Yeah. I think they're one time use or something. I don't understand extraction mechanics well.
Most the PMC kill eachother in dorms though so they're usually up.
ruby sedge
@errant snow yes its random, for each one of the chance extracts has a visual cue so you can see from a distance if its there
errant snow
Alright thanks guys
robust jackal
Yeah it's a coin toss @errant snow
ruby sedge
Most of them aren't one time use as well, only the vehicle extracts go away.
ruby sedge
It's not so bad, you dont need to hug the SUV during the timer so you can run and sit in a bush
errant snow
I feel like i'm better off trekking to crossroads or something
robust jackal
Inb4 Scav boss in the dorm shots you through a bush
Scav bush vision pls nerf
😭
Funny scavs will either potato or fock you in the ass.
Had a scav like walking 5 meters from me didn't see me
ruby sedge
Same with pmcs tho :p
robust jackal
And sometimes they will see you from 80m and hit all the shots.
How much the surgery kit goes for in flea market?
I'm at Uni so i can't go in game to check
😆
robust jackal
It lasts long than 4 pills?
I have so many painkillers and bandages
It's actually scary

daring hill
question for you guys and girl apart form geting luckly and seeing the granade comeing at you and being able to move a little is there anything you can do to help not die form them all the time felling like 1/3 of my deaths are peploe throw 3 to 5 grandes at me and being able to do nuthing ablout it
errant snow
I think the best way to avoid nades is know your escape route
Or if they stop shooting for a while, expect a nade to come flying
I've dodged 1 or 2 just by assuming one is going to come fly my way
grim wagon
yeah
or listen out
they make a very distinct noise
dont stay in one spot long enough to get fragged
errant snow
If they don't get you with the perfect shot first

If you get behind any sort 9f cover that makes the grenade stay out of your line of sight its all good

i dont know what map im on cause i meant to chose factory but i guess i pressed a different map...
robust jackal
Had a guy throwing grenades at me but i was behing a chair grenades didn't do nothing

my ectraction is warehouse 17, i looked up a video and it doesnt help

Also the moment granade lands if you start sprinting you usually will have time to gtfo or at least avoid dying from the blast.
Warehouse 17 is customs
@verbal badge

It's a small door in that warehouse
robust jackal
Heh
errant snow
I've been studying Customs for 2 hours

@strange mural just wait until you notice that reserve is the only map you'll ever need 
robust jackal
It's not hard

ive been looking for about 10 minutes

Go back and huge the wall

walk up to the edge of the cars backdoor

its ok guys
errant snow
I don't even know how to jump it, I bounce off the gate
strange mural
and after you are at the edge jump
robust jackal
Play offline to get to know the map Ring
Open a map on a second screen
Or a device phone,tablet
I did it twice when i started in customs
Helped get my bearings
verbal badge
i gtg thanks for helping
fluid marsh
I failed that jump so many times before i realized that you shouldn't sprint before the jump
robust jackal
And i started saturday i know the entire map and 98% of extractions
Besides the loot zones and those sneaky spots i can already walk in interchange whithout getting lost
Those 3 major stores helps a lot to get your bearings
errant snow
Interchange is too spooky for me ;;
strange mural
interchange is by far my favoutire map
robust jackal
Mall is smaller than i thougu
But multiple floors
@strange mural lot of ppl think that
polar kiln
Interchange is where the money is
robust jackal
Operatordrewski barely plays other map
strange mural
and thing is
robust jackal
I did almost 200k with a single scav run
noble flower
is it not possible to put a scope on the sawn off mosin?
rich cloak
Lol
robust jackal
Techlight and Texho ftw
errant snow
The moment I get into the mall I just panic and end up hiding in a corner for 30 minutes
rich cloak
Telling you guys
robust jackal
Why panic playing scav though
rich cloak
Reserve is where the big money is
polar kiln
Rezerve is best map for scav
rich cloak
That's the fun part
strange mural
i need to get into that.
robust jackal
Died with my pmc with a 90k on gear twice yesterday don't give a flying fuck
rich cloak
Allways bring the raiders
rich cloak
Makes you better at pvp and is allways stressfull/fun
polar kiln
90k is what my scope is worth
strange mural
can 7n1 oneshot raiders into the head
errant snow
Guess anxiety makes me super scared all the time 
robust jackal
@polar kiln flea market and what i get in raids and you have a surprisingly cheap budget kit.
paid like 15k on a paca
Around that for a pot helmet
A sks
Mags
Already have meds food and water
Have rigs and backpacks
So cheap
Kit
robust jackal
I have a handrill thinking of selling it cuz it's gud price but i will need it later on
Will keep for now
Unless i need the money
Wich i don't
polar kiln
Do you have EoD?
robust jackal
Cheap is gud a scav run on interchange pahs for two of those.
And SKS with good ammo can pen armor
errant snow
Ite fuck it
Tomorrow, I scav run Customs
And pray to Satan I don't get insta popped xD
robust jackal
Don't make much in customs unless you kill ppl
errant snow
Shet
polar kiln
Or have keys
strange mural
dorms has loot
normal abyss
@strange mural PS can often one shot raiders to the head
errant snow
Time to learn Interchange offline tomorrow
robust jackal
Dorm is also a hot zone
normal abyss
depending on helmet

PS can ? 
normal abyss
it depends on the helmet
robust jackal
Ps is 35mm pen?
normal abyss
hold up let me grab the charts

yeh

hunter > SKS but they're both really great
hunter + M80 rounds will one tap chest through level 4

Looks at wallet 6k in there

Team mosin <3

mosin is so good.
normal abyss
if your mistake has ever been missing a headshot
robust jackal
It has a mosin with a scope
normal abyss
then the hunter fixes that
rich cloak
@strange mural everything can
robust jackal
Unless you miss your shot with a mosin in cqb
Cuz u dead
Unless the guy potatos the aim
robust jackal
Wich does happen sometimes
polar kiln
Nice mosin
robust jackal
I have a faie amount of screw nuts so i get stuff super cheap
Was always fan of the mosin
In any game basically
strange mural
mosin deals ridiculous damage with 7n1
rich cloak
7n1 really isn't needed imo
polar kiln
I got a scav whit a R700+scope today
rich cloak
Noice
strange mural
7n1 is worth carrying just in case you know
polar kiln
Went to rezerve whit it and made lots of money
rich cloak
It's a good ammo don't get me wrong but 7n1 can't really save you in situations where gsh wouldn't
Man reserve is so cool but I hate the fucking extracts
rich cloak
What's the price of 7n1 currently?
polar kiln
Hermetic bunker Door makes it too easy
rich cloak
Imagine summoning raiders and turning on the generator for a "easy" extract
strange mural
260 ruples a shot
rich cloak
It's that cheap?
strange mural
yeah
rich cloak
What's gzh currently?
robust jackal
You don't carrt much ammo so its cheap indeed
strange mural
170
strange mural
might aswell just use 7n1
robust jackal
Yeah
rich cloak
I mean it's still a 90 difference for a benefit that won't really come in often
robust jackal
30 shots 6k
polar kiln
Also the five seven pistol is fuckin awesome
polar kiln
Not a prob for me
rich cloak
True
robust jackal
Scav vest is worth more
rich cloak
But I have 4 stacks of gzh lol
robust jackal
😆
Yeah gotta use it
Or sell it
On flea
If you going budget kits spending money on ammo is smart
While you are paper it will give you the ability to kill geared guys
robust jackal
Good thing about those kits you will mostly likely get your stuff back through insurance
They are a good option for budget kits @strange mural
Ppl usually won't grab it
strange mural
scavs cant do shit to you and players need better bullets
robust jackal
I wish there was a market app or something like that
So i could manage the market through my phone
Would be fun
Inb4 scavs blacks both of your legs
I wonder if they think of Introducing armor like this one.
rich cloak
Pls no
robust jackal
Would ruin leg meta
rich cloak
You wouldn't be able to move
robust jackal
Hahaha
grim wagon
doesnt look like hard armour
rich cloak
Level 6 armor for all areas allready makes you half as fast
robust jackal
Maybe not as strong as lvl 6 or 5 but protects all your body with lvl 4
Still has gaps on the leg but spraying legs would be less effective
strange mural
that would weigh
strange mural
100+ kilos
robust jackal
A shit ton
robust jackal
Need a tow truck for someone with that armor
Still would be cool to have more armor choices
Some armor that gives legs cover could be nice
strange mural
could be a thing for factory but not really anywhere else
robust jackal
Or if you use a sniper and don't move a lot
rich cloak
Full body level 6 armor with killas helmet and a rpk
Just turn into a stationary turret
rich cloak
I actually love the rpk
robust jackal
Mr.Obvious

Im just gonna stick with t3 helmets
brisk mortar

Good old penis helmet
brisk mortar
The TC is a good cheap class 4
strange mural
Penis op
Yeah the cheapest t4s are like 60-80k
And then face shields on top
Been kinda thinking of running nvg in inter
You can completely see even at night but could give me an advantage
plucky goblet
penis doesn't protect side of head
brisk mortar
a Face shield is optional tbh
plucky goblet
unfortunately FS doesn't fit on the new MICH 2001 and 2002
plucky goblet
yeah
basicalyl
i had a shit ton of ZSH when i was hunting reshala for his TT because 3/4 of his guards always had them

Cheapest is my entire kit
POT HELMET IS ZE BESTO

I shall trust my life on the pot helmet

Helmets only really help against scavs imo

so far im getting killed by camping scav cuz i dont have enough money for proper armor.
im doing dumb mistakes though.

is the outskirts woods extract a limited time use?
was trying to extract earlier and noticed the outskirts was outlined red
earnest latch
So far I'm trying to learn by playing Customs. Factory is a mess and other maps I never tried.
robust jackal
Learn Customs,Interchange and Shorelime first
rancid hawk
@drowsy turtle it's weird for it to be outlined, supposed to be the main exfil zone for RUAF side
unless bsg done something i'm not aware of
robust jackal
Customs is fun but i don't like doing scav there since i started doing interchange.
bold kernel
Anyone want to play with me?
upper sky
haven't tried Interchange yet, why do you like scav there instead of Customs @robust jackal
robust jackal
Money
waxen forge
Because Interchange has 10x the loot of Customs
upper sky
Gotcha
robust jackal
I love PMC on customs
upper sky
Ok, maybe I start learning Interchange then. was thinking of Woods bc i have some quests to do there
waxen forge
Woods is not a loot map so if you are looking to make $ don't bother going there. There are tasks there though.
robust jackal
I went from 700k to 900k in a single run
I'm not excited to play woods at all
Big open map
With tons of forests
Not my thing
waxen forge
I just spent a little over 2 million this morning for Hideout upgrades.
So after work I'll be back to money runs for a bit to build back up the $
robust jackal
I should be getting some stuff back today through insurance
I can trade Tetriz for bitcoin right?
drowsy turtle
trying to clear out tasks at woods
drowsy turtle
apparently the red outline on outskirts exfil is a bug
waxen forge
Wouldn't worry about red part. Outskirts and Crossroads are guaranteed exfil
At times the exfil timer bugs out and doesn't show up but as long as you are in the area you will exfil
waxen forge
Depends on if u need $
rose echo
I'm pretty sure the red exfils mean it was just used, doesn't mean it can't be used again, I read that somewhere
robust jackal
Needs for quest?
waxen forge
Yea I believe something like that Mad
robust jackal
I imagine it's a nice chunk of money
drowsy turtle
ah, I'll keep that in mind then. though I guess I'll bring some roubles next time in case I need to use the car extract
drowsy turtle
thanks

Bitcoin sells for around 110K to therapist
Last I check not much more on Flea and with the tax it was almost the same so I sell them to Therapist

Will probably still play some Arma 3
drowsy turtle
are ak-74m good for mid-range? It's effective range is higher than vepr and adar's
robust jackal
Think part of why i'm doing so well with getting money and managing to extract a lot comes from my past in more hardcore kinda games like Dayz and Arma.
waxen forge
74M is an all around good weapon. It's one I run a vast majority of the time.
robust jackal
That said i have a long way to go
drowsy turtle
how is the bullet drop?
waxen forge
Not a problem really.
I've hit plenty of long shots. Later wipe I'll run it with a Valday and canted red dot.
drowsy turtle
I've only ever used ADAR and Vepr 136 for +500m range
waxen forge
Well...I guess it's later wipe because I've been running it that way last week.
robust jackal
From what i've seen bullets don't seem to drop much in this game
strange mural
yeah ranges generally arent high enough
frank beacon
74n vs 74m
drowsy turtle
they kinda do drop slightly at >650ms
waxen forge
Both are fine. I just tend to run the M more than the N
robust jackal
Most maps don't allow for that range
frank beacon
i just modded a 74n and it has straight up no recoil
drowsy turtle
yeah, but woods and shoreline are pretty open in a sense
robust jackal
Can i easily grenade Killa to death?

that's nothing on the hideout
waxen forge
Run interchange with scav / pmc. Loot PC's in Ollie / Goshan and the tech stores. Get out and sell it all to therapist...Or if it's a high end item Flea.
normal abyss
it's in the area of 20ish+ mil to properly do
waxen forge
Rinse and repeat. 200K at least every run
keen nexus
ive been running customs with the dorm keys to the safes and the marked key
waxen forge
Nope
normal abyss
to be specific, the good tech stores are techlight, rasmussen and texho (actually meant to be pronounced techno reeeee)
waxen forge
Interchange has much much more loot
normal abyss
they're very close together, and texho and rasmussen are right near the front of oli
techlight is just up the escalator next to texho
waxen forge
Hell just looting all the PC's in Ollie you can easily make 200K
waxen forge
All u need is a backpack
frank beacon
loot pcs and put high end items in your container?
waxen forge
Can grab a scav backpack on flea for pretty cheap
keen nexus
i mean true
normal abyss
I literally run in with a backpack and nothing else
keen nexus
i was sad because i found a weapons case in the marked room and couldnt carry it
frank beacon
or just run in with a pistol and if u wanna ang around shoot one scav
easy backpack
waxen forge
Loot PC's...yes I'd chuck a GPU in container @frank beacon
normal abyss
backpack, hit the 3 tech stores, shove the good stuff up your prison pocket
don't bring meds
waxen forge
Yea don't make it too complicated
strange mural
yeah
keen nexus
idk interchange exfils
strange mural
also if scavs arent too close dont care about them
waxen forge
Have a plan when you raid. Don't just wander around
strange mural
interchange has basically two exfils
frank beacon
look up the map on the wiki
strange mural
and they are suuuper simple
waxen forge
There are 2 exfils. Out back of Ollie to the corner by tents or out front of IDea to the corner by the trains
normal abyss
oops just booted up tarkov in 4:3 lmao
waxen forge
Hello 90's
keen nexus
i appreciate the advice but ive never played interchange before idk what ollie or idea means
strange mural
look up the map
waxen forge
Ollie is green store on one end of mall. Idea is blue store on other end
strange mural
it shows everything
waxen forge
SE and NW are renamed. SE is now Emercon exfil and NW is now Railway exfil or something like that
normal abyss

Hey I'm over level 20, and still haven't unlocked Jaeger. Can someone guide me where tf to go on Woods? I have a map of Woods, but I just can't navigate off of it.
It's now limiting my hideout progression : /

ill guide u on a map if u teach me how to be good dude
fading bear
I gotchu fam

Step 1, Don't get Shot.
Step 2, Click on their head.
fading bear
budracin I said I had a map
keen nexus
but clicking on heads is hard
waxen forge
The wiki says exactly what to do
keen nexus
i have shaky hands dude
fading bear
And that I can't navigate off it. i.e. I can't get my bearings.
fading bear
Interchange is actually a decently easy map to learn
fading bear
Biggest suggestion is just keep your Cardinals. Lots of things to give you an idea of NSWE
frank beacon
to be blunt i hate the map but it seems to be very good source of money
fading bear
Idea North, OLI South, Goshan East, ULTRA Main Entrance, West. Techlight SW 2nd Floor. e.t.c.
frank beacon
maybe i hate it just because i dont know it
fading bear
Break down map into sections, the super store sections, and then general quadrants.
The only thing I can't suggest is the garage, I have over 100 hours on that map easily, and garage is still a mystery
all I now is if you enter the West garage, things are good, if you enter the East Garage, you'll get lost 
strange mural
the middle in general
frank beacon
he goes up the stairs?
fading bear
He'll chase you up stairs if aggroed
Or he'll air burst you with a grenade from 1st, has happened to me twice this patch already.
Don't fight him from second, you typically lose.
frank beacon
7n1 can pen his helmet right
strange mural
people make him look easy
but he isnt
and you shouldnt even bother if you want to make fast money
fading bear
you can cheese out a reload out of him relatively easily once you get a feel for it
frank beacon
he uses an rpk and what kind of ak?
fading bear
Also, 7N1 won't penetrate the face mask on killa
frank beacon
how about the back of the helmet
fading bear
it's a great map to scav on with hide out being a thing now
like it always was, but even better now
frank beacon
Guess ill use these mosins
frank beacon
What is the spawn chance of graphics cards in computers
Because i keep seeing streamers get at least 1 every run
fading bear
Pretty sure it's still true this patch, but Killa gets Stamina drained/aimpunched by bullets. So a drum mag of an mp5 will kill him very consistently if you don't mind shooting the entire mag at him.
strange mural
i mean hasnt that been a viable strat against him for a bit now
fading bear
Or just bring a vepr hunter and cackle in m61
strange mural
from the videos ive seen
fading bear
I don't know, my friends accidentally discovered it last patch when we were having an mp5 phase
fading bear
It's a fantastic budget gun, simply because 8 brown handle knives trade for one
waxen forge
Easiest way to kill Killa is to leg him. I've taken him out with the ABP pistol multiple times
heavy ibex
you guys are using guns?
fading bear
^ Just keep in mind if you leg him, he has higher HP then PMC's, so you gotta leg more than you'd expect
frank beacon
What level is his body armor?
fading bear
5
fading bear
The real question is, what's the level of his Adidas pants 🙏
frank beacon
i really need to get a docs case
fading bear
keycards, cash, keys, intelligence documents, what's not to like
strange mural
fucking t plugs haunt me
waxen forge
Modded is ok. It's full auto but once again it's 9mm so that's a factor
I run it when I take it from killa but am not buying one and modding it.
charred spade
lf 1 or 2 for interchange running quests

Penetration value.
fathom loom
@waxen forge isent pen value the listed pen value ?
im looking at the AP-20 slugs
and it has a pen value of 32
while an armor damage value of 65%
strange mural
elder kraken
I saw a picture in discord. one player has opened all servers. how is this possible
its normal or not ?
or if i want can i open too ?
waxen forge
Well then I'm not sure. Thought you were referencing pen value by another name.
Can select or deselect servers on the launcher
elder kraken
i play in eu
red trail
is this the place to ask noob questions
waxen forge
Can do automatic or pick as many as you want.
waxen forge
Yes @red trail
elder kraken
he can choose any of them ?
red trail
does breaching a door ever work?
waxen forge
Very few doors can actually be breached. You can breach some such as the office door in the customs office area (big red warehouse) once through the locked door.
robust jackal
I can think of one little house close to thr bridge in customs
waxen forge
Then the Breach door in factory and a few others here and there but the large majority cannot be breached
fathom loom
@strange mural dosent answer my question though
red trail
because i think im trying to exit through to this extract in factories, but cant breach
robust jackal
I can't hand Skier a shotgun for the quest...
red trail
robust jackal
Anyone knows why?
fathom loom
lets say i have full health fort armor
normal abyss
I imagine it's fragmentation chance if I had to guess
fathom loom
what the fuck happends when it gets hit by an ap-20
fathom loom
no frag chance is a seperate stat
normal abyss
I don't know about the ingame stats but I just read the docs guide
fathom loom
diffrent
values
armor damage is its own thing
its how much damage is dealt to armor
its not pen its not frag chance
red trail
@waxen forge it only shows 3 extracts in the picture aswell?
fathom loom
now how it translates into game is what i wanna know
waxen forge
@fathom loom From the ammo chart for 12
armor damage ratio - how much of the damage from projectile will go into armor (%) if it's not penetrated (this amount of damage = durability points which be deducted)
red trail
@waxen forge so if i am a pmc and I dont have the factory key I basically i only have one exit gate 3
waxen forge
@red trail Bunker 3 or whatever it's called is the only exfil if you don't have the factory key (as a PMC)
robust jackal
It won't let me give the shotgun? Any idea bois?
Also i'm sitting just above a million now, praise be interchange
Have no idea why i can't hand him the shotgun
waxen forge
Which task
red trail
@waxen forge if another person opens it to extract it could stay open for me too?
robust jackal
Supplier
strange mural
it has a mod on it
the rings with flash/laser
probably?
if its a x400 its also worth 20k
robust jackal
oh okay
waxen forge
It says in the paragraph above "Find me Tozes"
robust jackal
not any shotgun
strange mural
no but the quest hand in literally says "shotguns"
so its just retarded from that part
waxen forge
I have almost 2000 hours and still look them up
No in the body of the task request it say "Find me Tozes"
waxen forge
Because above it specified which ones
robust jackal
just got the mp5 from trading knives too
waxen forge
And above it specified "shitty white ones"
Wiki. Always look up a task in wiki. Just wiki every task and use it as intel.
fathom loom
@waxen forge using that logic though AP-20 can onetap fort armor down to less than 10 durability
in one shot
silent sable
Any pointers for a first starter?
I loaded customs yesterday with only pistol in offline mode
couldnt find shit 🙂
strange mural
look up maps
waxen forge
I'm just going with what the Armor Damage Ratio says on the spreadsheet. Hadn't put any thought into it @fathom loom
strange mural
try to survive not to die fighting
robust jackal
Do it till you don't get lost
silent sable
Yeah I got the customs maps
strange mural
the map from the wiki
silent sable
But couldnt find the other way. Only gave it 30 mins though
strange mural
right
robust jackal
And learn the extracts
waxen forge
@silent sable This game is HARD. You are going to be lost/confused at the beginning. EFT is not other shooters. You will not jump in and be good. Experience is king. Just keep grinding.
silent sable
If i fire my weapon in offline mode with no ai and so on. will I lose those rounds?
thick mist
@silent sable what kind of PC do you have?
strange mural
no
silent sable
8700k rtx2800
strange mural
offline mode is gain nothing lose nothing
waxen forge
No. You don't lose ammo meds or anything else offline.
thick mist
2080 I assume
silent sable
So i can literally load out everything I have and try jumping from heights and take damage and try medic and stuff
thick mist
Hrm okay
silent sable
ye
thick mist
Are you at your settings right now?
silent sable
and still not lose anythiong of that when I go back in.
I started with maxed out on everything. but I switched to high and turned of everything, still looked great
But I want FPS 🙂
silent sable
It was. Is there something I can have turned on that dont affect the fps that much?
thick mist
Always show interface elements is personal preference
strange mural
turn off blur and noise
thick mist
Max FOV and min head bobbing is a must though
strange mural
robust jackal
Vsync...
strange mural
vsync doesnt matter as teh game is capped at 120 anyway
thick mist
Nah trust me it helps
silent sable
Allmost start to think about enabling gsync just for this game 🙂
thick mist
There's a trick where you force Vsync off on NVIDIA control panel
silent sable
2d map or 3d map btw? Which one is prefered?
thick mist
But turn it on in-game
I generally use 3D maps when I'm just starting to learn because they can be easier to learn landmarks and locate your position
But then switch to 2D for general layout because they have better loot markers usually
robust jackal
These two
thick mist
Yeah that second one is super good
Doesn't have stash locations though which kinda sucks
I like to use this one
strange mural
i like to not play customs 
thick mist
Quests are how you make money and level up
Like it's single-handedly the fastest way to level up
Not the average player of course but Pestily got to level 40 in 24 hours just by doing quests

Heya guys hows everyone doingf
