I'd take off the shitty pistol grips and stocks and sell them...Then those vepr would take up much less space

[strange mural]

thats a nice vepr dood

[thick mist]

Thanks Snut

[robust jackal]

Got a Sv98

[thick mist]

I've only taken it out once :p

[strange mural]

everything goes into a nice 1x? space without grips

[thick mist]

Terrifying

Yeah I like the shitty grips though because then people are less likely to take them

[waxen forge]

The brown pistol grips and wooden stocks are trash. Sell them and each vepr becomes 1 row wide

[robust jackal]

Think i will just sell the sv98

[waxen forge]

Nobody is going to take them for certain

[robust jackal]

Already have my mosin

[thick mist]

The stock isn't that bad actually

[waxen forge]

Yea it is

[robust jackal]

Just finished another sucessful interchange scav run

[thick mist]

Unless you spend like 15-20k for a better one

But then it's not exactly a budget gun

[waxen forge]

20K is cheap honestly

[strange mural]

mfw wondering why door wont fucking open

trying to open the wrong door

[waxen forge]

At your point in playing I understand it isn't "Cheap" to you but it's cheap to a ton of people

[plucky goblet]

use polymer instead of the standard wooden furniture for better stats, costs like 1k

[robust jackal]

Sks is a better Vepr

👀

[thick mist]

Uh oh

Careful

[plucky goblet]

also ak 100 handguard to put grips on when you find one in raid

[thick mist]

Delta will hear you

[waxen forge]

Tried explaining that but 20K was pushing the budget

[warped locust]

could i gt a price check on 303 dorm key

[plucky goblet]

bruh

[thick mist]

Also polymer stock gets you

[plucky goblet]

@warped locust 5k max

[thick mist]

1% recoil reduction

And 1 extra ergo

[plucky goblet]

yeah

[thick mist]

For like 3k

[warped locust]

oh i meant 308

[plucky goblet]

for like 1k if you sell the furniture you had on before
and considering the 100 series handguard can have a grip unlike the wooden one, id invest that

[thick mist]

And yeah I just figure that I'm somewhat of an average player and I personally wouldn't pick up a relatively stock Vepr, but I would pick one up if it had better stock, pistol grip, and handguard

[waxen forge]

@thick mist

https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Zenit_PT-3_"Klassika"_stock

[plucky goblet]

ew

[waxen forge]

That stock is -45 recoil and plus 10 ergo

[warped locust]

crud found athermal scope and id already aggrod all the scavs

[plucky goblet]

we need more folding stocks for AKs so I don't have to use that one anymore

pt1 is ugly too

Zhukov can fold irl but not in tarkov yet

[strange mural]

tfw trying to complete a quest completely innocently and then you hear a silenced m4 ot in the night

[plucky goblet]

reeee

[thick mist]

I like the Zhukov it looks nice

If I really want to mod a Vepr

I mean

[plucky goblet]

i like it too

i want it to fold

[thick mist]

Obviously the weapons can be better if I upgrade the parts

That's just common sense

Not trying to argue against that

I just like super budget noobie weapons haha

[waxen forge]

Whatever floats your boat.

[strange mural]

gotta love randomly finding 70k+ mods

[thick mist]

Suppressor?

Or optic?

[robust jackal]

Shadow that M4 @strange mural

Hit him when he extracts

Kappa

Be evil

[waxen forge]

At the least remove stock and pistol grip and weapon is 1 slot wide for storage. Put stocks and grips somewhere and re-attach when needed.

[strange mural]

suppressor

[waxen forge]

Exfil camping is the biggest douche move in the game.

[robust jackal]

Playing scav interchange?

[waxen forge]

Just uninstall and play something else if you can't get gear / win fights.

[robust jackal]

Heh

Tell that to ppl who camp customs

[strange mural]

honestly just uninstall if you dont run full gear everytime

[waxen forge]

They are pieces of shit and should uninstall and play something else. Just because someone is a douche doesn't mean others should do it.

[robust jackal]

😆

Or ppl in factory

[rigid pollen]

Whats your views, Play Customs first or Interchange?

[thick mist]

Customs

[robust jackal]

Customs

[thick mist]

Even though it's a bad map imo that's where all the beginner quests are

[waxen forge]

First task from prapor is customs.

[robust jackal]

Sorry for you though

[plucky goblet]

customs because quests
but go offline first to learn it a bit

[rigid pollen]

Cheers

[thick mist]

I love that optics are 2x1 but when you put them on a mount they turn into 1x1

[rigid pollen]

im not total noob, but near enough, I know a little of Customs, (level 5 atm)

BUt heard loot is easier to come by on Interchange, BUt i still havent completed the first tasks on customs

[thick mist]

Yeah completing tasks should definitely be the #1 priority

Fastest way to level up in the game

[last nebula]

Hey, link up with me. I am lvl 4, I will halp you all day.

[thick mist]

Eventually you'll get a ton of Interchange tasks and then you can go to Interchange and work on those while also getting loot

[last nebula]

I have infinite gear and have been playing since the beginning of time.

[vague wind]

Why is the red keycard so sought after?

[thick mist]

Extremely good loot in the room and it's also very rare

[quartz ocean]

good loot expensive items

[plucky goblet]

because rare af and somewhat good loot
had it in 0.11 and the loot doesnt even nearly justify 25m roubles on the flea

[thick mist]

Yeah lmao

It's only that high because of how rare it is

You'd have to run labs a LOT to make profit from the red card

[vague wind]

so, unless you are a god at tarkov. not that worth?

[waxen forge]

Labs is overrated. It'll be nice when it's locked behind Streets of Tarkov.

[plucky goblet]

even then

[vague wind]

cause labs is hard right? ive never been there

[thick mist]

Not worth even if you are a god

[vague wind]

keycard is too expensive

[thick mist]

Labs is extremely hard and you need to pay $220,000+ to even get in

[quartz ocean]

or get a lucky drop from a scav for a keycard or kill a boss

[bold kernel]

fr

[vague wind]

im guessing its a high risk high reward type scenario

[waxen forge]

No because people make it out to be this amazing map and it isn't. Also I've heard it makes you better at pvp but cheesing raiders to open a door and tapping them in the head isn't exactly good pvp practice.

[quartz ocean]

this wipe @vague wind if you go for kills on raiders you might make back the keycard but nothing much like 0.11

[thick mist]

Yeah except it's a very high risk for a very small chance at a very high reward

[quartz ocean]

0.11 you would make about 400k on a good run and only pay about 90~125k

[vague wind]

raiders are weird, i played during the event in 0.11.7 and the raiders were either insta kill mortars or just docile loot scavs

[quartz ocean]

now its about 220k cuz bots keep snatching key cards on flee

[thick mist]

Yeah scavs in general are wonky like that

Yeah dude trade bots are fucking annoying

Probably have billions of roubles in their accounts

[waxen forge]

No thought required. I get labs card I take the free 220K each time by selling it.

[quartz ocean]

they do

[thick mist]

Yeah I got addicted to labs earlier this wipe

Made it up to 10 mil

Then lost 8mil over the course of a few days

Just from labs

Never doing it again

[plucky goblet]

i dont understand why people sell it for that low anyways considering its 300k on therapist and you could make so much more money selling that high

[bold kernel]

fr

[waxen forge]

Can make money easy enough other maps and not pay to get in

[quartz ocean]

labs is fun but not worth losing 220k for a keycard and 250k for an easy loadout

[waxen forge]

I made 2 million over the weekend just running interchange.

[thick mist]

Yeah Interchange is so much nicer and (relatively) stress-free

[waxen forge]

@plucky goblet I just sell it for 220 - 270K depending on what the lowest price is. I'll check lowest price and add an extra 20K .

[thick mist]

I never understand the people that sell them for like

120k?

Or even 100k

Easily could have made an extra 40-60k and it still would have sold instantly

[bold kernel]

same

[normal abyss]

maybe people who list without checking the prices

or people who listed the wrong item

[strange mural]

or saw somebody make a listing at that price and wanted to make a fast sale

[thick mist]

I still have so much goddamn water from Therapist

[strange mural]

sell everything

im about to get the water now

i hate dorms

[thick mist]

Eh I've grown to sort of like it

Not fun at all when solo though

[dim relic]

Best way to earn money and get good in the game?

[strange mural]

play a lot

interchange has good money

[dim relic]

which maps are good?

[bold kernel]

interchange

[dim relic]

is it hard?

[bold kernel]

if its ur first time yeah

just run an offline on it to get used to it

[dim relic]

An offline raid, do i get exp and loot from that or nah?

[strange mural]

no

but you wont lose anything either

[bold kernel]

you get nothing

^

[dim relic]

and lose nothing either?

[bold kernel]

what snutri said

[dim relic]

ok

🙂

[bold kernel]

ye

[dim relic]

thx 🙂

[bold kernel]

np

[thick mist]

@dim relic did you click on the ✅ after reading the rules?

[dim relic]

now yes xD

[thick mist]

Yaay

Now you have access to all the #pvp-lfg channels

If you want to group up with people it's a lot better than being solo usually

[dim relic]

🙂

Thx

[strange mural]

fucking scavs dont want me to do these quests

[ruby sedge]

Just shoot them like the other day there simon

Simo*

[strange mural]

i can only shoot mega geared players

[ruby sedge]

Lol

They're too cheeky for your breeky

[robust jackal]

Where exactly is Tarcone's Office in customs?

Tried looking at the map looking for the terminal but coudln't find it

[ruby sedge]

Tarcones?

What is this referencing would be a better question

[robust jackal]

Prapors quest

Delivery from the past

[ruby sedge]

Ah, I've never heard it called that

It's the office building up the stairs in the customs building

Customs office key is what you'd need

[bold kernel]

@robust jackal You down for some more duos?

[strange mural]

time to go into custom with gears this time

hope i dont spawn bridge side

[edgy blade]

Any place you guys would recommend doing 4 pmc kills with a pistol?

[bold kernel]

Factory

[normal bear]

Fac

[robust jackal]

I prefer to spawn brige side

Bridge*

Most times i spawn the other side i die

For some reason

[strange mural]

https://i.imgur.com/dmfhacr.png

ill never get out

[silent sable]

come on. ffs. where is the fakkkking extracion point? I went to Dorms V ex. I went to ZB-1011

How do I get extracted?

[strange mural]

double tap o

[silent sable]

yes. only zb1011

[strange mural]

it shows your available extractions

[silent sable]

that is not alot of question marks

[strange mural]

question marks are a coin flip if you can use them or not

[silent sable]

Do I need to stand here until the timer ends?

[thick mist]

Fml, hate people that shoot you from the other dorm on Customs

[strange mural]

the double tap o timer?

thats the timer until the raid ends and if you are still in you lose

[silent sable]

ye

so what should I do here?

im at zb1011

nothing here

what should I do=?

[strange mural]

you just need to find the 1011 exit

[silent sable]

make a special raindance?

[thick mist]

Killed scav boss and his posse and went to open the door which you can't do while laying down and right when I crouched up to open the door some guy shot me from 2-story dorm rip

[silent sable]

lol

[thick mist]

:(

[silk schooner]

Would love to duo with someone to get the hang off this game :3

[silent sable]

go down in a tunnel it seems

[high spindle]

@silent sable are you in the bunker at zb1011

[thick mist]

First scav boss kill but didn't even get to get the loot rip

[strange mural]

this is what the door to zb1011 looks like

[silent sable]

just noticed

so it said I completed the raid too early

[strange mural]

that means nothing its just based on your earned experience.

[silent sable]

but now I have a understanding of the map. later tonight I will try it online

[strange mural]

knowing extractions is pretty much the biggest thing

[silent sable]

What should be my first gear on it? pistol only with two mags and the ak? and just try to sneak?

[strange mural]

then just figure out loot spawns

[silent sable]

I have found some loot spawns, next I want to kill alot of scavs

[strange mural]

pistol shot to the head

[robust jackal]

Or a vepr

Any cheap gun

Does the job

[whole schooner]

Is there a point to armor if you just get one shot by a mosin through helmet/armor, even t4-5? Why even bother playing at that point

something produced in WW2 beating modernized equpment, wat

[silk schooner]

is there a looking for group section of this discord? :3

[waxen forge]

Armor is something that buys you a chance but does save you totally all the time.

@silk schooner #news-setup and #521628660298678283

Check the boxes and you will get verified by the bot

Armor does save you but the blunt damage will still hurt you.

Better armor will stop more. white armor and paca are very low level and won't stop much.

[whole schooner]

i said I had t4-t5.. the ppsh whatever helm and the t4 armor

just pop from randomly and its lights out |:

[waxen forge]

Helmets are one of those things that does save you every so often but at the same time are pointless as a face shot still kills you.

[whole schooner]

it works when Pestily does it

[thick mist]

Yeah I just run with penis hats to help against scavs

[waxen forge]

Pestily does what?

[whole schooner]

get shot in the head and live

[thick mist]

Runs out in front of groups of players using bad ammo and tanks a ton of shots

[waxen forge]

Have I been shot in the head and lived? yes

Several times per wipe

[idle bluff]

@silk schooner You should have access to it now, in #pvp-lfg.

[shy fable]

which magazine I need to buy for pp 19?

[worthy pagoda]

Could anyone suggest a decent low level weapon to run with NVGs? I'm thinking a loadout for the ADAR/SKS or some sort of low cost AK?

[waxen forge]

But at the same time I've worn high tier helmets and died many more times than they have saved me.

[whole schooner]

im just done with the game, the balance is fucking awful

[thick mist]

Not that kind of game

I’m not really new to Tarkov but can someone explain why there so many types of bullets like for 7.62 there’s like different types of 7.62

Try not to get heated about this, gents.

[whole schooner]

/s

[shy fable]

thank you !

got it

[waxen forge]

Not even close. Just saying that this game does not have "balance" the way a game like COD or Battlefield would.

Just not that kind of game.

[whole schooner]

wat

[steady pilot]

Lmao someone complaining about balance in tarkov

[waxen forge]

So now that i'm a dev when do I get some payment from BSG?

[shy fable]

ok what does it mean when slot not empty

I tried to put the magazine to the pp19

[waxen forge]

Are you trying to put a mag into a weapon that already has a mag in it

[steady pilot]

^

[whole schooner]

/s = sarcasm

welcome to the internet

[split vapor]

Tarkov isn’t meant to be balanced

[shy fable]

yeah that was dumb from me forgot about that

[waxen forge]

Wouldn't bother @split vapor

[whole schooner]

yeah ok buddy

[silk schooner]

Do I have to set something up for voice chat to work? I dont seem to be able to hear any people

[idle bluff]

[whole schooner]

you can prob grab pistol cases from fence/rigs to get more slots

[robust jackal]

Been really unlucky with customs PMC runs

Just trying to do the quest died twice before i was able to get to the office

I was hugging the wall

[whole schooner]

you're pretty much encouraged to only ever group, even for dumb kill 5 scavs

even if you think you're safe, you're not

more eyes is gud

[steady pilot]

Duo is best gameplay

[flat marsh]

Alpaca if you wanna group up for a customs quest I need to do the Checking quest for Parp

[whole schooner]

ok

[flat marsh]

Prapor

[whole schooner]

i killed a duo right before a solo killed me

but sure

go duo

[robust jackal]

@flat marsh sure

[flat marsh]

Alright just give me a second

[steady pilot]

A duo will be more solid than a janky 5 man 9/10

[whole schooner]

4 man

so you can hope to go to the same exfil

[waxen forge]

I run solo 99% of the time and do fine.

[whole schooner]

must just have shit luck then

[steady pilot]

And yes solo players can easily take out a duo just like anyone can take out a dumbass 5 man your point is irrelevant

[robust jackal]

@waxen forge same

Just customs being evil to me today

[whole schooner]

then why type at all

[waxen forge]

More than 2 gets chaotic unless you have experience together and great comms

[robust jackal]

[steady pilot]

[whole schooner]

[whole schooner]

interchange is nice.. you can at least avoid people on purpose

[robust jackal]

Opening the game right now

sounds good

[robust jackal]

Changed a few settings so had to restart it

will be in duo echo

you doing the pocket watch one?

[strange mural]

Alp if you are still going in a few hours eanna do some customs

@whole schooner hey retard shut the fuck up, you look fucking autistic sitting in a beginners chat and saying "i took out a duo while im solo"

[whole schooner]

nice personal attacks

also scroll up to even see why I was upset

i already saw

and im telling you

[whole schooner]

cant wait til you're b&

[outer parcel]

if youre so fucking experienced with taking out duos what are you doing in beginners assistance

yup

[whole schooner]

to try to learn from the experience, to get advice.. idk, being more constructive than character assassinations

go back to 4chan you hateful being

ooo is that sensitivity i see?

i never went to 4chan but ok

if you wanna learn just ask the people in eft general

some of them know what they're talking about

[brisk mortar]

Pilot, you starting shit again?

[strange mural]

Kam incoming run boys

[brisk mortar]

[rustic bobcat]

typically, how many players are on a map if you join, say mid raid as a scav? do they keep the maps to capacity or is it usually only 2-3 people running about?

[whole schooner]

you can only join in a raid if it has pmc's still in it

[rustic bobcat]

does it matter how many? would it let you join with only one still in, say?

[whole schooner]

yeah

you can have unlimited scav raiders up to the total of map size

[waxen forge]

Factory is 6 PMC. Other maps between 12 - 16. How many left by 1/2 way through is variable based on how many chose to stay or exfil.

They do not bring in more PMC. Each raid is self-contained

[whole schooner]

it'll say on the map how many pmc can be in it

[rustic bobcat]

interesting, so theoretically, you could join as a scav with 1 pmc, and that pmc then exfil and you'd just be scavs?
is there and observed trend or is it completely random?

an obsvered*

[whole schooner]

random

and yeah.. you could avoid pmc like that if it worked out

[steady pilot]

Random but catered to fresher matches

You dont typically join in less than 20min raids

Nor 30 even

Factory is an exception

[rustic bobcat]

[split vapor]

about 3 weeks ago was the 0.12 update and wipe

[bold kernel]

@robust jackal Lets do some duos

[solemn rampart]

@split vapor wait, its only been 3 weeks?

[stable rose]

Huy guys, how do you point fire? I've see people on youtube be so accurate its li,e they have a dot in the middle of their screens or something, they're so accurate! How do i shoot like that?

[lapis mauve]

Practice and low recoil guns

[solemn rampart]

@stable rose practice, point fireing in tarkov isnt like cod or bf hip fire. The bullets fly straight from your barrel

[vague wind]

You get a knack for where the bullets end up

just practice in offline mode against scavs on factory or something

[split vapor]

28 days

or so

[stable rose]

You know when you look at an item in game and you get the tiny white dot in the centre of your screen, is there a way to have that always on?

[split vapor]

nope

[solemn rampart]

No, and thats not always acurate to where youll be pointfireing

[lapis mauve]

Get a laser

[stable rose]

So how do i figure out where the bullet will end up? Is there a indicator? like the end of the barrel or something like that?

[solemn rampart]

Sometimes the gun leans downwards cus a broken arm, or to the side a bit cus of no stock etc...

[stable rose]

Lazers dont help me too much because i can barely see it

[lapis mauve]

Yeah

[split vapor]

Well unlike most games bullets actually come out of the barrel making point fire useable

[lapis mauve]

The green ones are easier to see but even so

[solemn rampart]

@stable roselile i said, practice, it goes straight where the barrel points to, not center of screen

[stable rose]

Where the barrel points to, so do i line up the end of my barrel with the target or do i have to estimate? It's a weird concept to graps without seeing it

grasp*

[solemn rampart]

Yes, line up thr barel to the target, its like shooting a real gun where the bullet flys straight line from the barrel.

[lapis mauve]

Get tracer bullets and practice in offline

Just shoot at random things and see where you need to aim

[silent sable]

lulz

better get a backpack and rig when you enter game with more ammo and so on

couldnt reload becuase of no space

couldnt find the magazine either hahahaha

thank god I insured it.

[autumn lintel]

here to help anyone who needs it just @ me

can take up to two people in raid with me

[silent sable]

I bought PP-91 I assume its a good BRRRRRRT weapon in CQC or when you sneak up on people

[autumn lintel]

it is

with a surgical kit yes

if its red give it a try with a medkit first

it might be a 0.5

[tired juniper]

You cannot use the CMS on your thorax or head if blacked though.

[autumn lintel]

[twin laurel]

Hey, can I play with my friend if one is bear and one is usec?

[strange mural]

dont you just die at black head/thorax

[lapis mauve]

bear and usec can play together

if your head or thorax gets black from bleeding you don't die

just don't jump off anything

[strange mural]

ahhh

yeah

[umbral minnow]

Are there any differences between bear and usec other than starting gear?

[strange mural]

but that means anythhing more will kill you

if you get indeirect pain?

they scream in their languages

english or ruski

[lapis mauve]

cosmetic clothing options and voice commands

if you want to spam cease fire as a hatchling be usec lol

[umbral minnow]

does it work lol

[strange mural]

people hear russian= instant kill mode

[lapis mauve]

not for me, hatchlings are evil

[strange mural]

sounds like a scav to everybody but people who speak russians

i dont trust anybody

[umbral minnow]

huh that's good to know

[lapis mauve]

yep

although now hatchling can't pull an mp7 out of their butt so i guess thats something

[strange mural]

man i wish kiba had good loots but everybody says its shite

[lapis mauve]

get the key, try it a few times, if its bad sell it

[strange mural]

that is true.

[lapis mauve]

i have a lot of milk for the trade so not like i will buy it

[strange mural]

been trying to look for the key at its spawn but

[worthy pagoda]

What's a decent, economical ammo type for the ADAR?

[split vapor]

856a1

[worthy pagoda]

Thanks bud 🙂

[crude stag]

Is Customs usually considered the best map for newbies or is there another I should be focused on?

[strange mural]

it has newbie quests

but isnt that good for beginners

[crude stag]

What do you suggest instead?

[strange mural]

generally people recommend interchange for the moneys right now

then for less pvp woods and shore

[crude stag]

OK thanks. I'm mainly focusing on Offline rn to get used to the game, so I'll give that map a look

[robust jackal]

@flat marsh 1 minute i'm back

[solemn rampart]

@strange mural woods is nothing but sniping pvp XD but yea shoreline u dont run into people often but not much to loot without keys

@crude stag

[strange mural]

honestly i think woods is hellllaa resident sleeper.

there is nothing there lmao

[robust jackal]

@flat marsh had to restart my pc

[bold kernel]

There are so many duffles and ground caches on shoreline tho

How do I verify? I dont use discord much new to It trying to find people to play with

[solemn rampart]

@bold kernel i forgot about the ground caches

[ruby sedge]

its in the welcome to tarkov Setup channel @bold kernel

[bold kernel]

They are god tier

[thick mist]

@twin laurel not sure if anyone answered yet, but yes

[silent sable]

So now I lost all my base gear

[thick mist]

The main difference between the two is that BEAR has Russian voice lines and USEC has English

They also have different cosmetic options

[silent sable]

and have to wait for insurance. Should I play scav or buy new stuff?

[thick mist]

I always do scav when it's up

[waxen forge]

Insurance takes 24-36 real world hours

[thick mist]

Do that first, buy new stuff, do PMC run, then scav will be back up

[silent sable]

Ive never tried it?

[somber lagoon]

I think it's best to do scav, just cuz it could save you money while still giving experience for learning the game

[thick mist]

Oh dude

Scav is amazing

[silent sable]

So what is scav game?

play like AI and kill pmc?

[somber lagoon]

yeah

[thick mist]

Yeah pretty much

[silent sable]

and what is my objective?

[somber lagoon]

but if you want, you can also kill Scavs

[thick mist]

The AI scavs are friendly toward you until you shoot them

[silent sable]

ah ok. But what more?

[thick mist]

Your objective is still exactly the same

[silent sable]

Can I go for extract?

[somber lagoon]

first shot is free, then they'll turn hostile

[thick mist]

Mhm

[somber lagoon]

you can

[thick mist]

You might have slightly different extracts from PMC's

Only difference is that Scavs have randomized loadouts and no secure container

[somber lagoon]

it's best to do some Offline mode so you get used to locations of extracts with their names

[thick mist]

Also Scavs spawn later into the raid usually

[silent sable]

So just try to survive and get to extract

[thick mist]

Yep!

[silent sable]

Ive learned two on customs

[thick mist]

Survival is even more important because you have no prison wallet to stick valuable loot in

[bold kernel]

Most of the extracts are fairly self explanatory but you can always wiki them

[thick mist]

So it helps to play like an actual scav and loot dead bodies after fights if possible

[silent sable]

playing scav you have nothing to lose it feels like

[thick mist]

Yeah, that's exactly it

Which is why I love it so much

[autumn lintel]

@silent sable need some help?

[somber lagoon]

they make sense in name, ya, but unless you know the map a bit, they don't make any sense

until you find the extract, then you go "ohhhhhhh, that makes sense"

[silent sable]

nah im good cowboy but thanks anyway. My SO just arrived home, so cant sit here yelling. Another time though for sure!

[autumn lintel]

kk

[thick mist]

So you'd know where ZB-014 is by name? :p

[somber lagoon]

yeah not those

i was so mad when my first PMC run had ZB-0011 and ZB-0010 as my mains

[thick mist]

Oh rip yeah

[silent sable]

Customs seems to be east to west or west to east

[thick mist]

@silent sable quick tip, if you have extract names like that they're usually underground bunkers

[silent sable]

and mybe sometimes go north

[slender linden]

ZB-014 is Woods Bunker xD

[silent sable]

ZB ?

[somber lagoon]

oh wow

ZBs are underground

that makes more sense now

[thick mist]

Yeah haha

[slender linden]

as i say, ZEE BUNKERS

[silent sable]

What does ZB stands for?

[thick mist]

Uhhh...

[silent sable]

Hahahaha

[somber lagoon]

Ze Bunker

[slender linden]

xD

[thick mist]

Zee... Bunker...

[somber lagoon]

xD

[ruby sedge]

Probably something russian

Or see bunker

[strange mural]

zero bullshit

[somber lagoon]

lol

[ruby sedge]

Zee*

[slender linden]

naz you have to say it in a russian accent

[silent sable]

1011 Angel Number – Meaning and Symbolism

hmmm

[somber lagoon]

YESS

best character

[strange mural]

kinda wanna learn reserve a bit

if anybody wants to suffer with me hmu

[somber lagoon]

aight, i'mma PMC this for a bit

[thick mist]

Okay I found the actual answer if anyone is interested

[slender linden]

im down snutri

[thick mist]

Zabroshenniy means "forgotten" in Russian

[slender linden]

Forgotten Bunker

[thick mist]

So ZB is Zabroshenniy Bunker or forgotten bunker

[silent sable]

aah makes sense

[worthy pagoda]

So I have an ADAR 2-15 I'd like to mount a decent reflex sight or similar on - But I have no idea what to buy and nothing shows up in the linked search. What do?

[thick mist]

Uhh

You should be able to just slap one on the stock ADAR

[strange mural]

check wiki

[thick mist]

Nah wiki isn't needed

[waxen forge]

Flea search Weaver

Or PK-06

Both good red dots

[robust jackal]

@flat marsh it happened again... 😭

[thick mist]

Try doing a linked search on the upper receiver itself @worthy pagoda

[worthy pagoda]

Fantastic, thanks 🙂

[thick mist]

Did that work?

Oh yep, just tested it. Yeah, sometimes the linked search on weapons as a whole can be kinda wonky sometimes

[worthy pagoda]

Yeah, going with different parts seems to have helped

[thick mist]

Awesome :)

[somber lagoon]

ugh, i'm so baddddd, nearly survived and then NOPE

[robust jackal]

a good scope for sks bois?

[waxen forge]

PSO

Prapor

[robust jackal]

ok

ty

[thick mist]

Why are you using the SKS?

[robust jackal]

cause

i love it

[strange mural]

hunter gang

[thick mist]

Ah okay, fair enough

[strange mural]

[tribal shale]

Sv98 vs sks? Which is good

[thick mist]

Well

Very greatly depends on what you'reusing it for

Sniping? SV-98

[tribal shale]

Sniping

[thick mist]

Close-medium? SKS

[robust jackal]

and sks does well cqb and mid range

[thick mist]

Have you tried out the Vepr KM?

[robust jackal]

yes

don't like it unless its for scavs only

[thick mist]

Yeah it's my go-to scav hunting weapon haha

[strange mural]

i need to get into that full auto action

[raven cosmos]

#pvp-lfg level 6 still kinda new but looking for someone to run with?

[strange mural]

yeah thats a chat where you look for group

[thick mist]

If you want you can always just join a random LFG voice channel and ask if it's okay if you join them :p

[torpid wraith]

why is this akm i have shooting like 2 lines below the main point in the acog scope?

[ivory parcel]

I keep dying before I can plant the docs at the factory ("Delivery from the past") quest. Does anyone has any advice? Having to go into customs for the new docs is such a pain (because it takes a number of runs too).

[waxen forge]

Just have to get a good spawn then hope nobody sees you while planting.

Other option is to go in with a teammate or 2 and have them cover you

[undone hazel]

do I have to roll back my nvidia drivers for the game filter to work again? or is there any other programs that make colors pop more that work with tarkov? Dont really want to bother with the driver

[waxen forge]

No idea. I don't use Hax

Reshade and such are hax. They can't ban soon enough

[torpid wraith]

seems like a slightly hot take

[waxen forge]

Nope

Consensus among many in community

[torpid wraith]

hmmm, i personally havent experienced anything besides fooling waround with geforce shaders, which nothing seemed to really change anything significantly, so i dont know about the main one everyone talks about

[thick mist]

@ivory parcel join a 5-man group in Factory LFG

Helps a LOT when you only have to deal with one PMC rather than five

[somber lagoon]

how trusting should i be of the matchmaking 'looking for group' in-game? More worried people are just hoping to slay whoever joins up with 'em

[thick mist]

Not trusting whatsoever

[waxen forge]

Never join Rando

[thick mist]

If you have no way to communicate with them then it's extremely sketchy and very difficult to know who is friendly

[undone hazel]

does vibrance gui work with tarkov?

or is it bannable

[split vapor]

The control panel things

yeah they work

[bold kernel]

.

[red trail]

why cant i exit at office window as a scav in factory right now

[split vapor]

that stuff and reshade wont get you banned

Is it one of your exits

Double Tap O

[red trail]

no

but i am a scav?

[waxen forge]

It is not always a scav exfil

[split vapor]

Yeah, but you can only use the exits in that list

[red trail]

other scavs might be able to use it right now though?

[split vapor]

Yes

[marble latch]

how do you guys distinguish between PMCs, SCAVs and player scavs? does that come with time or should I pay attention to smth in specific?

[waxen forge]

Movement

Experience

Although if you are a PMC it doesn't matter shoot them all

[strange mural]

the slot for a alpha case or whatever ive heard doesnt exist for scavs

[split vapor]

A bad idea is when youre a scav to have two guns on you, ie one is one your back dead giveaway

[marble latch]

so looks don't really matter right? you go by movement, etc

[crude stag]

@strange mural thank you so much for the Interchange suggestion. Just played a couple offline rounds and found it much easier to navigate (the outside portion anyway) and it seems like a good map for getting my feet wet in online

[waxen forge]

Pretty much but my point was if you are a PMC they will all be hostile to you.

[split vapor]

The normal AI will typically wave at you when you walk pass

[stable rose]

Err help

[thick mist]

With?

[waxen forge]

As a player scav then ai scavs aren't hostile but PMC are. Player scav may be..never know.

[stable rose]

I just had the run on my life, 2 altins etc on a scav and when i ended the raid all i had was the original scav gear i started with

WTF?

[strange mural]

go back and next a few times

[waxen forge]

Hit next and it will say not transferred

[strange mural]

until loot may reappear

[waxen forge]

Then hit back and back and it will be there

[thick mist]

Yeah what Snut said

[stable rose]

I hit next and now im back in inventory

[waxen forge]

It's a bug

[strange mural]

welp

thats gone

[stable rose]

No fucking way srsly?

[waxen forge]

If you hit next it should have said Not all items transferred

You don't hit next on that you back up

[stable rose]

" modded m4's altyns

that sucks so much!

[thick mist]

You must have hit next then

Yeah :/

[stable rose]

Why is that even a thingg?????

[thick mist]

Yeah never exit the menu because then it just deletes everything

[waxen forge]

It's not a thing. it's a bug

[thick mist]

It's a bug and not intentional, but the fix isn't too difficult

[stable rose]

It happaned at the start of the wiupe for me and they still have not fized it

fixed*

That was easily a 700k+ run, lost to a bug, gg

Night guys

[thick mist]

I mean

I'm not trying to be rude or anything but pressing next and exiting out of the scav loot transfer screen and then everything being deleted is not a bug

[split vapor]

You can fix the bug just by moving what you have over and the game will error after you hit next and it will bring you back to the transfer screen

[stable rose]

I thought i had to exit the menu for the error message

Will the guy atleast get his gear back or is that lost of the abyss?

[waxen forge]

It's gone

[stable rose]

Cos i feel bad for killing him, popped him in the chest once with an sks xD

[dim cove]

any suggestions for a beginner player who has burned through their 300k?

[stable rose]

Stop playing xD

[dim cove]

the fuck no

[stable rose]

Before you get addicted, it's worse than crack!

[waxen forge]

Scav Interchange. Loot PC's in Ollie and Goshan. Loot tech stores. Sell it all to therpist

Rinse and repeat

[dim cove]

👍

[strange mural]

if you are level 5

flea is opie

[waxen forge]

If it's very rare then sell to flea. If not just sell to therapist as you need to get your "spent" up anyway.

And it will be the same money instantly vs. 3 items at a time.

[strange mural]

but when graphics cards are 200k

[waxen forge]

Like I said...if it's something "rare" and I'll add extra valuable then flea. If not sell to traders as it gets "spent" up and you can sell 20 items at once for instant payment vs. 3 at a time.

[thick mist]

Wtf was Killa doing near Goshan

k then

[waxen forge]

He'll run back there if agro

[robust jackal]

just had some awesome duo matches man this game is really fun in duos

i do love the tension of solos but having someone you can count on it's pretty great

[strong trout]

Yeah I find duos to be the optima party size for Tarkov. You have someone to watch your back, but not enough people that theres friendly fire incidents or loot scarcity

[thick mist]

Having someone you can count on is the very important part

[robust jackal]

think 3 is also fine

4 is too much

[split vapor]

9 mans?

[thick mist]

3 is best imo

[robust jackal]

never got even close to shooting him at anytime

just memorize what he looks like

[strong trout]

3 can be alright, but depending on how you move together it’s hard to keep track of 2 different people and watch all your angles imo

[robust jackal]

and use armbands

[thick mist]

Or just communicate haha

[robust jackal]

if you know those two its easy

[split vapor]

Armbands are useless

[waxen forge]

Arm bands? really

[split vapor]

They dont render past 20 feet

[waxen forge]

By the time you get it to render and then figure out the color if it's not a teammate you are dead

[robust jackal]

heh

but anyway i just memorized what he looked like

and it was easy

lvl 5 armor can stop normal mosin rounds?

not the best one

[thick mist]

Yep

Only medium effectiveness against class 5 armor

[robust jackal]

but definitly improving killing 12 scavs among us two and 2 players not bad

i see

[thick mist]

Assuming you're talking about LPS Gzh

[robust jackal]

cause i got shot in the stomach

so i survived

but it destroyed my level 3 armor

was losing water like a bastard

thank gosh i had water

yeah that ammo

[split vapor]

7n1 can one tap lvl4 and under

and it can lvl5

lps and 3 and under

will hurt 4 tho

[thick mist]

FML

REALLY

[robust jackal]

found some fmj ammo

[thick mist]

I was sneaking around Factory trying to get pistol kills. AI scav walks by so don't move a muscle and he ignores me. PMC on other side of Factory shoots the AI scav, scav looks in the opposite direction at me, and then kills me instantly

Why wouldn't he shoot the person that was shooting him first -.-

[robust jackal]

cuz

tarkov

scavs are the biggest rng ever

sometimes they will miss every shot

sometimes they one tap you

sometimes they blind

sometimes they simo haya

[strange mural]

alp

[robust jackal]

got half the scav kills i need in woods in this match

[strange mural]

you guys still running

[thick mist]

Oh yeah scav kills on woods is super easy

[robust jackal]

nah he had to leave for an assignement

[thick mist]

I like the scavs there

[strange mural]

if you wanna run hmu

[robust jackal]

woods?

[strange mural]

anything really

can do woods

[robust jackal]

ok

[strange mural]

needs some scavvies there

[robust jackal]

lets dew it

[strange mural]

lets goo into charlie duo

[frank beacon]

wow

tried to go prone while reloading game did not let me and i got shot in head sad

[thick mist]

Yeah prone is extremely annoying in this game

[somber lagoon]

i once spawned as Scav right in front of a PMC, that was short lived

What's with all these doors that say Breach, only? Do I just need better Strength or something?

[whole schooner]

is there no helmets that'll stop a mosin round?

[plucky goblet]

@somber lagoon keys

[robust jackal]

depends on the ammo

[split vapor]

Keys

[plucky goblet]

@whole schooner depends on what round

[whole schooner]

BiS

[split vapor]

And some doors just don’t open

[whole schooner]

so toast no matter what, got it

seems balanced

[split vapor]

Well Tarkov is not meant to balanced. And well helmets are only meant to stop pistol calibers anyways

[strange mural]

even in reality

helmets dont actually do much

unless they are massive

[whole schooner]

why even add a ricochet rating if it'll just go through

[split vapor]

The old Russian helmet before they adopted the 6b47 couldn’t even stop a 9x18 round

Because with the right angle they can ricochet

A glancing angle

[whole schooner]

z_z

[plucky goblet]

helmets are the only part of the game that are meant to actually be balanced

[whole schooner]

think being prone while looking at loot for 5 seconds p much what did it.. no one should be able to lock on that easily if it was an active gunfight..

just guh.. youd think being max with everything

only wanted to do the 5 scav quests.. just seems like everything you do should be oriented around group play unless you really dont gaf for stats

zerg it i guess

herp derp

shit happens I guess

a good sniper is scary

[plucky goblet]

you're not meant to be invincible

[strange mural]

it is realistic

so

[whole schooner]

shrug

[strange mural]

group play is always supposed to be better

[whole schooner]

I'll just have to find a playgroup i guess

fair..

[strange mural]

but you can do fine as a solo too

just some luck on top of skill

[whole schooner]

accidentally reset my pmc to bear so i might have to wait another 3 weeks anyway..

meh.

biggest fear is being flanked so.. it's pretty much a nope to me when i get ganked

but yeah.. at least with others you can watch more angles

[granite swallow]

been playing this game for a little over 24hrs and its def a experience lmao

[whole schooner]

its very frustrating

thanks snut.. x.x

learning experience, I guess..

[granite swallow]

yeah

[whole schooner]

strive to do a little better each time

[granite swallow]

i feel like making plays as a solo is def easier in my op

[whole schooner]

well..

[granite swallow]

but overall playing with a group is better

[whole schooner]

you take a bigger risk with a bigger group

[granite swallow]

?

[whole schooner]

of being spotted

[granite swallow]

gotcha

figured

[whole schooner]

but, if you're all the same gear/skill

you'd be unstoppable

might have to exfil to different zones tho.. so you go with max 4

[granite swallow]

been playing scav for the most part

[whole schooner]

some are set tho

mmn

[supple umbra]

my friend and i were doing a raid, i died but he's made it to the exit, the exit isnt working, so he's gone to another exit and it isnt working either, is there anything he can do?

[granite swallow]

i need to get a group lmao

[whole schooner]

keep on hoarding i guess and feed it to your main

[split vapor]

Even with the best gear you can still die in 3-4 rounds

[granite swallow]

yeah thats what i been doing

[whole schooner]

double tap o

to see what toyur exfils are

it was mosin round tho.. and yeah.. i probably deserved it, esp if it was to my behind or something..

more people = more threatened area

depends on what kinda loadout you have tho

[supple umbra]

he knows the exits, and he's at the correct one, but they're not working :/

[whole schooner]

i usually go at least one medium range

depends on map tho

[granite swallow]

custom

[whole schooner]

prob med/long

[granite swallow]

whats ur load out

gotcha

[supple umbra]

he got out

he went to one of the ??? ones

[whole schooner]

maybe an assault and a semi auto rifle

[granite swallow]

i killed someguy with a m4 but it ahs a supressor and the red dot is kinda on the side

it looks sick asf

has*

[whole schooner]

ah cool :3

umm

you can switch sights with control or alt rmb

like the streamers do

[granite swallow]

WOW

thanks bro

[whole schooner]

might want to go offline mode so you dont have to

worry about losing while trying

progress isnt saved

game is all about high risk/high reward, i guess

feels good when you're on top

[split vapor]

More like there is no progress in offline

[whole schooner]

i said that..

or thought I did

apologies

it'll be saved to before the raid started

so nothing will change

[split vapor]

In offline mode, you can ai or not and all loot spawns are boosted, ai amount and level

[whole schooner]

maybe ill try again in a few weeks when I can go back to usec.. bear/russian mumbles get you killed

most recommend running around just for map layout, then add scavs later

so at least you know proper engagement/flanking positioning

its a lot to take in but makes it all the more rewarding when you get it j ust right

[sand apex]

How do bear mumbles get you killed?

[whole schooner]

e.g. crouch walking everywhere and hauling ass right out of sound range

to other pmc's that might be around, e.g. you can't go cease fire in russian without it sounding like you're a threat

ymmv or just kill every pmc / dont be a pacifist

[sand apex]

If a usec pmc yells cease fire, do you actually stop shooting?

[whole schooner]

if im actively engaged, no

if i have the upper hand, maybe

[strange mural]

never trust anybody is how i play

[errant snow]

I took a deep breath and stepped into Interchange scav mode, took about 15 steps and got sniped 👏

[strange mural]

[whole schooner]

shrug

[sand apex]

Because if you do, you probably d die a minute later while he laughs at you

[acoustic timber]

whats good vertical recoil?

[silent sable]

NICE
killed a few players and scavs
just got my first extraction first time playing scav. 4 mins left 🙂
was awsome

[acoustic timber]

like a range

[whole schooner]

thats fine, im sure they'll be judged

in this life or the next

[strong trout]

Depends on the gun and it’s fire rate

[acoustic timber]

ak74m

i have 69 recoil

legit

[upper sky]

is there like a tier list/ratings for the different AK models?

[strong trout]

Higher the fire rate, lower you want that number

[silent sable]

got a sa-58 and a ak-74m

[acoustic timber]

what about the ak74m

is it good for 69 recoil

[solemn rampart]

Ibe made friends in factory before, i hatchet ran to get quests done constantly yelling cease fire, sometimes youll get people that ignore u or will team up wit u

[silent sable]

What should I do with the dogtag?

sell it?

[whole schooner]

keep

you can trade in stuff

depending on what level it is

barter crap

exactly ninja

[silent sable]

when scav run is done, I need to move all stuff to my stash=?

[whole schooner]

i give people the benefit of the doubt u.u

yeah, libben

[silent sable]

otherwise I lose it?

[whole schooner]

you can maxout your character first

if you just want to do scav runs

[strange mural]

yes libbenm

[whole schooner]

so you have stash to work with

[strange mural]

its lost if you dont move it

[whole schooner]

^

thanks for being warm everyone.. z.z

[silent sable]

so everything in the tactical rig and pockets and backpack is lost?

[whole schooner]

if you transfer the rig and backpack..

it wont

[silent sable]

unless i move it to stash

[whole schooner]

yes

[silent sable]

so anything on your SCAV body?

[whole schooner]

yes

[silent sable]

like back sling and on sling

[whole schooner]

mm-hmm

i do that

[silent sable]

will be lost too ?

[strange mural]

you can keep them in the rig

[whole schooner]

i take verything off and sell it

^^^^^

[strange mural]

but you ened to move the rig over

[whole schooner]

yes

scav = disposable loot

i sell to skier all my spare bags etc

umm

id keep any spare rigs tho

they're good for space economy

like 9 spaces for 12

at a min

depends on how many 2x2+ you have tho

can also get pistol cases to store ammo

[strong trout]

@acoustic timber 69 is very good vertical, I have a fully kitted 74u I bring into labs that has 68 and handles like a dream. A normal 74 has about 90+ so I’d say yours is pretty solid

[strange mural]

ammo case is opieop when you can get it

saved my light

[whole schooner]

i just never stopped looking at fence

amazing what you can do with standard edition.

[strong trout]

Sorry it took me a minute but I wanted to boot up tarkov and check my stash to make sure I had the right numbers

[silent sable]

I got SA-58 and an AK-74M this round and som magazines

keep or sell?

[whole schooner]

id keep the 74m maybe

the other is a shotty, no?

or idk
