beginners-assistance

[rose belfry]

Yeah they are pretty much the same, just preference. Also the spreadsheets seem to explain some of the ammunition with more detail

[buoyant flume]

Hey guys... So I have standard edition

[split vapor]

You know they both say the literally the same thing

[buoyant flume]

And i'm running out of bag space! wtf... Do I just start selling lots of parts and attachments?

Or wait till Black Friday sale lol

[modern steppe]

have the same isssue lol

[buoyant flume]

Bleah

[thick mist]

Yep! Just sell pretty much everything you're not going to use

[modern steppe]

that sucks doe

[thick mist]

Also yeah I'd really recommend upgraded on Black Friday

Eh not really. If you're not going to use it, why keep it?

[buoyant flume]

It's hard I'm on Day 2 and am not sure what to keep for hideout and attachments etc

[rose belfry]

Or you can save up money and get the mighty cases

[thick mist]

Ahhh yeah hideout stuff sucks

Also pretty much all attachments aren't needed to keep

Since most of the time they're not even for weapons you're using

Especially as a new player

[buoyant flume]

Ahaha okay awesome

I'll start clearing shit out

[thick mist]

Plus you can always just buy them back if you need/want them

[robust jackal]

can't figure it out...

[thick mist]

Hm?

[sharp sable]

i just try to drag attachments onto a gun and if it fits great if not i sell it

[rose belfry]

Try to get a lucky scav junkbox for that miscellaneous loot. It’s a 4x4 that provides 14x14 of just loot space. No guns nor armor can be placed inside, just loot and it’s great for gathering items for hideout

[sharp sable]

how do i get the blue name on discord

[thick mist]

Yeah but they're insanely expensive haha

[split vapor]

Accept the #521628660298678283

[rose belfry]

Well at least they aren’t as bad as the items case itself

[thick mist]

Read the #521628660298678283 and #news-setup :)

At the end of the rules there's a ✅ that you click which gives you the blue name and access to most of the channels on this server

[rose belfry]

Plus for a standard edition, you gonna need it at some point. Now with the hideout it’s even more vital

[sharp sable]

i did

[rose belfry]

There you go

[sharp sable]

oh i guess it didnt work the first time lol

cause i hit it beforehand

[robust jackal]

how to put a reflex sight on the vepr...

changed so much stuff still can't

[rose belfry]

Which sight is it?

[sour estuary]

Hey everyone, I am just starting to take a chance with this game. Did a few runs with the PMC and scav on customs, trying to keep my income at a stable 300k. Though I am not still sure about the map. I keep getting conflicting info on what maps should a new player play.

Any tips? I heard interchange is good for scav runs, better than customs

[split vapor]

Get a bastion

Yeah

Customs didn’t have trash for loot

[robust jackal]

pk06

[little portal]

is playing as scav the best way to get gear when you first begin?

[split vapor]

Or get a tt01

[rose belfry]

Yeah a bastion should work for that right?

[sour estuary]

Well, I'm sure it's better than PMC. I eat shit when I play PMC and it wastes my money to heal him every time

[rose belfry]

It’s a dust cover with a mount

I mean rail

[robust jackal]

it worked

thanks

[rose belfry]

@little portal it’s also a great way to experience the game and learn maps without going to offline mode. Just no scav on scav violence if you can hold the urge back

[little portal]

thanks

[sour estuary]

So, scav on interchange, PMC on custom? That good to start with?

[rose belfry]

There you go. Yeah look for the scraps laying around as scav on interchange, just don’t kill fellow ai scavs as a player scav. And a lot of quests are done on customs, so pmc running customs and getting used to it is huge early game. If you want, you can also look up hidden stashes on each of those maps. They can hide some nice loot

[sour estuary]

Alright. Btw, I like to keep my costs at a minimum. Is it a good idea if with my PMC, I only go with an insured pistol and 2 mags?

No backpack, vest or anything

[little portal]

saw a video where they suggested that you only start with the pistol, no bag and no insurance

since its expensive and pistols arent worth much

[fathom loom]

generally speaking most people tend to take pistols

[sour estuary]

But it's cheaper to insure it rather than buy a new one

[fathom loom]

since they fill so little and the pistol slot is usually empty

on players

so insuring it usually dosent do much

[sour estuary]

The fuck? People are thirsty even for my shitty makarovs? Damn

[fathom loom]

plus a makarov is 8k roubles and 10k including rounds

hey its a free 5k roubles in an otherwise unused slot

[mossy vale]

how do you kill with a makarov??

[little portal]

aim for the head!

[fathom loom]

step 1 buy

step 2 equip

step 3 go into raid

step 4 click

step 5 profit

[sour estuary]

I once did a flick and headshotted a fully geared guy that had a mosin, one shot kill with a makarov

felt good

[mossy vale]

i never get kills with a mak lul

[fathom loom]

makarov is not bad

[sour estuary]

only happened that time tho

[fathom loom]

its quite a decent gun with good ammo options

[quick moss]

how do you switch between hamr sights

[fathom loom]

pm pmm can go through level 3 body armor

[mossy vale]

really

whouas

[rose belfry]

Yes

[fathom loom]

yep

[rose belfry]

Pbm is decent as well

[fathom loom]

also it has 50 dmg

plus pm pmm ammo is super common on reserve in 16 round packs

[mossy vale]

my survial rate in reserve is

..

[fathom loom]

yeah its a hard map

exits are hard to get to

[rose belfry]

Ice pickkkk

[fathom loom]

i usually recomend taking the manhole

and take no backpack

[mossy vale]

i choked hard last time looted a full gear got rekt by boss ;-;

[fathom loom]

the raiders have amazing loot

but at that point the only way to get out is the train

[sour estuary]

btw, is there any discord room, or idk, something, where new players can find in-game guides?

[fathom loom]

and the train is such a campfest/slugfest its amazing

[sour estuary]

I heard they're called "sherpas" or something like that

[rose belfry]

[fathom loom]

best advice i can give you

[sour estuary]

Oh cool, thanks

[fathom loom]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1l_8zSZg-viVTZ2bavMEIIKhix6mFTXuVHWcNKZgBrjQ/htmlview?sle=true

this has helped me so much

[mossy vale]

wwhats thats

[sour estuary]

Oh sweet fuck

[rose belfry]

He means ammo

[fathom loom]

ye

[sour estuary]

This game is something else, what the fuck are all those ammo types

[mossy vale]

whats sherpa

[sour estuary]

I'm not American I don't know all that lol

[fathom loom]

general rule is if the pen of a bullet is equal to the body armor level times 10 then the chance to pen on first shot is 90%

[mossy vale]

i use this one https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1jjWcIue0_PCsbLQAiL5VrIulPK8SzM5jjiCMx9zUuvE/edit#gid=64053005

[fathom loom]

for example level 5 armor times 10 is 50

so you need 50 pen to have a 90% chance to pen level 5 armor

[rose belfry]

@mossy vale it explains what a Sherpa is in that bot command, but essentially they are guides that will help you learn the game and get quests done

[fathom loom]

@mossy vale its mostly outdated for everything except one page

but its still good

granted the 10 times rule is easier than constantly looking at that sheet and its easier to remember

[mossy vale]

yeah i think the guy is out of time

[sour estuary]

Well, thanks for the tip. But I barely know Customs so I'll take time until I even try to understand the ammo types

[quick moss]

how do you switch to hamr scope, default ctrl rmb doesnt work

[mossy vale]

whats the rule? 10 x50??

[fathom loom]

no 10*(body armor level)

paca is level 2 body armor

so it would be 10*2

which is 20

[dense sluice]

Alt right click

[mossy vale]

so you need 20 pen and aove?

[fathom loom]

yes

[mossy vale]

oh

[fathom loom]

for 90% pen chance

on first shot

[mossy vale]

i never though of that

i just remembered the good ones

[fathom loom]

you do discover alot when looking at ammo charts though

most of the time id say as long as you can hit a couple of shots having 10-5 pen less than recomended is not a big problem

5 pen less than what normally would be required still results in a 40-50% pen chance

[upper sky]

zb104 an expensive key?

[mossy vale]

yes depend on your budget though

[fathom loom]

and armor damage of consecutive shots make pen chance better

[upper sky]

spawned scav with it, wondering if i yolo or tryhard extract

[rose belfry]

I don’t think it’s that expensive. It’s used for an extract

[fathom loom]

yeah

on woods i believe

[rose belfry]

Yes

[buoyant flume]

So basically always roll out with 762 xD

[fathom loom]

id keep it

[mossy vale]

yeah i payed 20k i think?

[rose belfry]

Only if it’s marked by a green flare though

[fathom loom]

7.62x39 or x51 is a very good choice

but m80 is best for 7.62x51

in almost all cases

[mossy vale]

m80 is so good

[fathom loom]

yeah

[rose belfry]

I use M62 a lot

[fathom loom]

no dont

it cant one tap thorax

[mossy vale]

so sherpa is a guy that help you

[fathom loom]

m62 has precisely 79 dmg

[mossy vale]

i though it was like written guides

[fathom loom]

while you need 80 to onetap thorax

[split vapor]

The green flare system for exits are kinda broken where they dont appear even if its on

[fathom loom]

i mean yeah 54 pen vs 45 pen

[split vapor]

m80 still best

[rose belfry]

I usually hit them in the head anyway

[fathom loom]

but 45 pen will go through level 5 after second shot

with a 90% chance

[buoyant flume]

This fucking game is so complex

[fathom loom]

level 6 will be a problem (unless zhuk 6a which has low armor health) but nobody runs it cause -40% movement speed

which makes fort armor (and non zhuk6a level 6 armor) trash due to horrible movement speed

[mossy vale]

i feel like there is a lot of knowledge but they are not that complexe??

[rose belfry]

They aren’t complex

[fathom loom]

you can play quite easily without going all technical

just use what people recomend in ammo

and honestly pistol ammo most of the time does not matter

[mossy vale]

^

[fathom loom]

because the high pen stuff is too expensive to be worth using

(for pistols)

[rose belfry]

AP 6.3 is a great example lol

[mossy vale]

i found 17 luger ammo

[vague wind]

Its the market fucking the prices

[fathom loom]

good god 6.3 ap is expensive man

and its not even that good

[rose belfry]

I know

[mossy vale]

i dont think i will everuse them

[vague wind]

Peacekeeper LL4 is 2 per and on market its like 300 per

[fathom loom]

also the p90 performance is stupid

it has so much pen and damage

[rose belfry]

And I keep finding people using it in their little mp5’s

[fathom loom]

its not "that bad" against level 4 armor

but for its price

just get an SKS and load BP dude

[rose belfry]

@vague wind peacekeeper is dollars and most sell in roubles

[fathom loom]

or you know

buy a kedr and load pm pmm ammo

[vague wind]

Yeah i know

[fathom loom]

cause its so cheap

[mossy vale]

^

[fathom loom]

its 3 times cheaper than 6.3 ap and has almost the exact same stats except 4 flesh damage more

[rose belfry]

Yeah but see I’ve had cases where I’ve worn armor and someone sprays me with a kedr just for me to turn and one tap them

[modern steppe]

what is good cheap full loadout

[vague wind]

Kedr is cheap for a reason

[fathom loom]

sks with 20 rounds

[rose belfry]

Exactly that

[vague wind]

sks is great

[fathom loom]

its like 27k roubles

[mossy vale]

arent you suppose to shoot legs with the kedr

[fathom loom]

and it kills level 4 armor relatively well

[modern steppe]

what armor helmet etc

[fathom narwhal]

its complex and fun

[fathom loom]

meh kedr can nuke people pretty fast

as long as you use the right bullets

[rose belfry]

Ssh-68

For helmet

[fathom loom]

ah yes glorious cheap ragman helmet

[mossy vale]

lul

what ragman ll is it?

[rose belfry]

1

[modern steppe]

i have literally done no quests and i dont wanna reeeee

[fathom loom]

if you wanna kill armor in the kedr these 2 rounds are a must

[mossy vale]

oh the ww2 one ?

[rose belfry]

He used pbm

Yes @mossy vale

[robust jackal]

biggest is problem is i don't know wich mod is compatible with the other so i don't know wich thing i need for X scope.

[rose belfry]

It’s level 3 armor

[vague wind]

Pmm doesn't work with kedr's

guns too shite

[fathom loom]

kedr shoots 9x18 tho

you might be shooting with suppressed kedr

[mossy vale]

@robust jackal you will need the wiki and later play with the preset

[vague wind]

yeah but its incompatible

[fathom loom]

which as far as i know only takes specific ammo

[mossy vale]

am i the only one that identified everything in the flea??

[sly pond]

Well that was a good run

[mossy vale]

@vague wind its the Klin

the upgraded kedr that use pmm

[fathom loom]

only one of the kedrs can use it

[mossy vale]

but everyone calls it the kedr

[vague wind]

Right

[fathom loom]

because the suppressed kedr cant fire supersonic ammo

[mossy vale]

the klin is like the akm --> ak74

[fathom loom]

which means PBM pm pmm and SP7

[vague wind]

Prapor ll2 not bad

[fathom loom]

plus just use a saiga instead of a kedr

much less recoil

and moddable

[rose belfry]

With 30 mag

[mossy vale]

the PP 🙂

[fathom loom]

but its sights are fucked

so it fires like 10 meters above where you aim

[vague wind]

Last time i used a saiga i shot a armoured guy in the chest with ap-20 too many times to count and he just didn't die

[fathom loom]

thats a shotgun

[modern steppe]

any fellas feel like chilling and playing in like an hour?

[fathom loom]

we are talking 9x18 saiga

the submachine gun

also you probably stomached the geared guy

[mossy vale]

isnt it 9x19?

[fathom loom]

it one taps all parts of the body

[fathom narwhal]

is there a website to check the stats for each ak

[fathom loom]

@mossy vale russian sub and pistol ammo is 9x18

western is 9x19

[mossy vale]

i though you where talking about the pp-9

[sly pond]

Got a p90 that run

[fathom loom]

its good

very high rof with good ammo

37 pen on a pistol

pistol round

[sly pond]

Yeah

[mossy vale]

yeah the pp-19-01 is the 9x19 one thats pretty cheap

[fathom loom]

u sure its 9x19 ?

[rose belfry]

Yes

[mossy vale]

the one the ragman give with sa quest?

yeah

[fathom loom]

hmm interesting then it cant use pm pmm

[mossy vale]

thats why its cheap cuz of 9mm right

[fathom loom]

but its 9x19 so you cant use pmm

only ap6.3

[rose belfry]

But it can use AP 6.3

[wet ledge]

you cant do quest in offline mode rite

[mossy vale]

pst is not that bad

[fathom loom]

which costs a truck and a half

@wet ledge no you cant

[rose belfry]

@wet ledge no

[mossy vale]

@wet ledge exactly

[sly pond]

The p90 i have takes the 5.7

[fathom loom]

pst is not bad but its far from good

5.7 mm is godly

the best shot for it has 50 flesh dmg and 37 pen

and 1200 rof on the gun

[sly pond]

So keep this for later

[fathom loom]

ye

[mossy vale]

just buy a 762 gun then 4Head

[fathom loom]

sks best

[rose belfry]

Superior

[fathom loom]

its such a nice cheap starter loadout

plus PS is so easy to get

[mossy vale]

i killed a gear guy with an vepr 209, didnt know it was possible

[fathom loom]

though i will say running shotguns with ap-20 is also super cheap and effective

even if the ammo is a wee bit expensive

[mossy vale]

^

[rose belfry]

And opsks easy to put scope on if you are going for long range

[fathom loom]

like 30-35K per run (with 20 rounds half kept in prot case)

[mossy vale]

i dont like the sks, idk why

[fathom loom]

and i can onetap anyone with less or level 4 body armor

164 damage dont lie

[mossy vale]

i always choke with them

[fathom loom]

i like it but i hate the long reload

[rose belfry]

Mosin man?

[modern steppe]

the sks is so obstructive i hate it

cant see anything

[little portal]

how can someone tell the difference between a skav and a pmc?

[fathom loom]

clothes

and gear sometimes

[mossy vale]

i think i got 1 kill with a mosin since i started playing lul

[fathom loom]

also the way they move makes it easy to see if its a player scav/pmc

[rose belfry]

You gonna need to get many later on

[fathom loom]

mosin is still good

7n1 is godly ammo

[sly pond]

Ive had one or 2

[fathom loom]

it onetaps with 45 pen

[vestal magnet]

Hey, is anyone else getting problems with activation email? Email doesn't seem to be going through

[rose belfry]

7n1 hell yes

[mossy vale]

the 15 m one? that my 1 kill

[little portal]

check your junk mail

[rose belfry]

For jaeger?

[sly pond]

Actually got a one tap on that last run with a mosin inf

[fathom loom]

ewh mosin inf

[rose belfry]

@vestal magnet currently they are having problems with email from what I’ve heard

[fathom loom]

why

its more expensive than normal mosin and is worse

[rose belfry]

If you only have lvl 1 prapor

Then thats why

[mossy vale]

^

[sly pond]

Got as a scav

[fathom loom]

he sells normal mosin for all levels

infantry mosin is not sold at all levels tho

[rose belfry]

Other way around

[fathom loom]

https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Prapor

its right there

[rose belfry]

It’s a 1x6 mosin inf he sells at lvl 1

[fathom loom]

for 33k roubles

[rose belfry]

That’s an inf

[mossy vale]

^

[fathom loom]

no thats a regular mosin

the inf mosin is the short barrel one

[rose belfry]

It says inf haha

No that’s a different mm barrel

[undone hazel]

can I make my red dot sight more visible? right now on customs day time my pp 19 red dot is just not there

[vague wind]

Obrez is what your thinking of

[mossy vale]

the other one is the carbine one guys

i am ll2 there is 3 mosin guys

[fathom loom]

no obrez is the 220 mm barrel

the inf is the medium lenght one

[sly pond]

Techincally they are both mosin inf. Just one is sawed off

[mossy vale]

a 730 one then a reduce one and then the obrez

[lavish seal]

i got a customs military base checkpoint key

is there good loot?

or should i sell for 250k

[steady pilot]

There is a sniper mosin which has a curved bolt. And there is a infantry mosin with a straight bolt.

Barrel lengths and stocks are interchangeable

[vestal magnet]

Hey, is anyone else getting problems with activation email? Email doesn't seem to be going through

[fathom loom]

either way the sniper mosin and normal 33k rouble one are exactly the same

just the sniper costs more

[rose belfry]

@vestal magnet email is having problems

[steady pilot]

The sniper variant has much lower ergo

[rose belfry]

Well infantry also can’t take scopes

[steady pilot]

Than infantry carbine

And yes straight bolt mosin cant take optics

[fathom loom]

true

also lower ego is worse

so with no scope sniper is worse

[steady pilot]

Pretty much

Infantry carbine sits at 17ergo iirc

Sniper is around 5ish

And gets lower as you add on shit

Aside from stock/chassis

[split vapor]

suppressed sniper with tri rail and scope on wood is like -5

[fathom loom]

oof

[steady pilot]

Thank reddit

[fathom loom]

btw how bad accuracy does the obrez actually have

whats its MOA ?

[split vapor]

minute of angle

[steady pilot]

I have this irl. It is not unwieldy

[split vapor]

ofc you do ryan

[steady pilot]

Ree

Obrez is so bad

[fathom loom]

whats the accuracy

it has an accuracy stat on it

[split vapor]

.18

thats the mech 2 obrez

[fathom loom]

oh thats not that bad

its a bit better than a pistol

[split vapor]

Oh

thats is terrible

[steady pilot]

Double the .09 circle diameter

For obrez at 100m

[sly pond]

Good scav run again

Got a 110 key and a case of some sort

Surv12 field kit on a scav run

[vague wind]

What case?

[sly pond]

It was the surv12 kit

Not a case

[vague wind]

What map?

[sly pond]

I got it on custom

[dense lotus]

Surv12 is a big CMS kit

[vague wind]

Ah you got the dorm room 110 key? thats pretty nice
Behind the Lock

One Safe
Possible Fuel conditioner, Secure Flash drive and Diary spawn (on the bed)

[sly pond]

Yeah

Dont really know where its at and all

[vague wind]

It is in the dorm's in customs

[sly pond]

Yeah

[vague wind]

Lock Location
The first floor of the two-story dorms on Customs.

[sly pond]

Ok

Well lets see i need to free up some inv space

[bold kernel]

i think scout is bugged for me

ive got one extraction left and ive visited all of them, but it wont give me the complete

[dense lotus]

Did you go inside the cellars extract?

[modern steppe]

coomer

[sly pond]

I need to get rid of some stuff

[median elbow]

Can anyone tell me where I can find information regarding the Scav AI

I want to know things usch as, where do they spawn, mechanics etc

[robust jackal]

Looks like they fixed scav bush vision

Didn't get BS shot by scavs on that run

Best way to learn that is just to spawn as a scav @median elbow

Heh

[median elbow]

yeah i noticed that as well

I've been getting destroyed by scavs through bushes, but not recently

[sly pond]

Yeah

[median elbow]

question - Do scavs react to noise?

Like - do they react to my footsteps/gunfire?

[sly pond]

They did post that they were making a change

Yes

[waxen forge]

Yes

The document you describe re: spawns and such doesn't exist really. We can tell you where they spawn but honestly you just have to learn from experience.

[robust jackal]

Yeah they react to sound biggest proof is you shoot one scav and always more show up.

[sly pond]

Well crap just had a great scav spawn and got wrecked try to get to exfil

[buoyant flume]

Why is there a ??? for the USEC people?

[sonic lake]

you didnt get their dogtags

REEEE PEACEKEEPER i dont like shoreline stop making me go there

[buoyant flume]

Ahhh

[sharp sable]

ammo is sooo confusing like jeez

[sly pond]

anyone willing to help a newer player on some regular raids

[median elbow]

Whats up with getting experience as a Scav ? Why get experience if it doesn't transfer ?

[sly pond]

idk

[sonic lake]

@median elbow it levels up your scav's soft skills

[median elbow]

ahhh cool did not know

so you basically have 2 chars? scav skills and your PMC?

[dense lotus]

ye

You can check skills of scav in game 🙂

[split vapor]

yeah

thats the only way tho

[median elbow]

awesome, this is great to know

i just had a great run as a scav. This other scav dude gave me the finger and I blasted his face off lmao

dude was decked out 🙂

sry bruh' i'm a survivor

How do you know where an extract is

I’m so confused

[rose belfry]

Maps

You can find them online

[green timber]

look at maps online

and then memorize where they are

[cyan cape]

Aight thx

[mossy vale]

hey guys for the quest chemical 1 do i have to find the key in raid or can i buy it?

[steady pilot]

You can buy it.

[mossy vale]

are you sure?

[bitter abyss]

yes you can

[mossy vale]

thanks both of you @bitter abyss @steady pilot

[slender quiver]

anyone looking to help me and my friend get astart

[patent egret]

anyone willing to assist me in some quests? first wipe

[median elbow]

Ummm.. why did I go from 3 available flea market offers to 2?

Did I do something wrong?

[split vapor]

You either failed to sell an item or you removed an item

[median elbow]

I removed an item that wasn't selling. Did not know that

Is there a way to increase the limit again?

[split vapor]

Yeah sell things

[median elbow]

And not remove them? 🙂

lol

[split vapor]

Each player has a reputation value which affects their number of offers and the view other players have upon their offers.

Reputation is gained upon successfully completing deals, every ₽100,000 gained from deals incrementing the players' reputation.
Reputation is lost whenever an offer is not fulfilled, removals included.
Offer slots are increased upon reaching a certain reputation value and decreased upon dropping below it. All offer slot increase thresholds can be seen in the following table:

Reputation Number of offers
From To
-∞ -2 1
-2 0.2 2
0.2 10 3
10 30 4
30 50 5
50 70 7
70 100 10
100 150 15
150 250 20
250 500 30
500 750 50

[median elbow]

This is very useful, thank you for this

[normal bear]

Check the wiki

[sly pond]

i guess time to do a scav run or 2 and try and replace some gear

[median elbow]

If a helmet protects your ears, is it safe to say that it won't allow you to wear a headset?

[normal bear]

@median elbow no

Shit like ulach protects ears but allows headsets

Same for airframe

[median elbow]

oooh spicey

nice

[steady pilot]

[buoyant flume]

Lmao I just did a hatcling run at Interstate with a Makarov

Was getting lit up by some guy... I run around the store and do a quick 3-4 round spray

[normal bear]

Thats a pistol run

[buoyant flume]

And take his kitted HK416

True - I guess I used Hatchling as in a newbie rather than an actual hatchet

[robust jackal]

How is that a hatchling run?

[buoyant flume]

You're right. It isn't by EFT terms. It's day 2 for me and I used it synonmously with being a hatchling (straight from the egg)

[steady pilot]

@buoyant flume

[median elbow]

lol nice

[buoyant flume]

Ther e we go @steady pilot 😂

[mossy vale]

guys how do i level Str??

[median elbow]

lmao, sw_delta, do you even type?

[split vapor]

walking overweight

[buoyant flume]

Man he had an ULACH, Comtac2s, Trooper armor, MBSS, Tac Rig too lmao

[steady pilot]

Walk around over weight and throwing nades, and meleeing

[split vapor]

oh comtac2 probably why he didnt hear anything

[mossy vale]

how would i do that?

COm2 are bad?

[split vapor]

By walking overweight

[steady pilot]

[buoyant flume]

I thought Com2s were good?

[steady pilot]

Sordins and sports

[buoyant flume]

Ooo

[split vapor]

gssh best

[buoyant flume]

He was just a levle 8 and sucked at aiming tbh... He just missed everything

I crouched behind some boxes and then popped up and sprayed and hit him right in the face.

[mossy vale]

fml i got 3 Com2 and sold my sordins and sports

[steady pilot]

Bruh the lower end ones sound like you're a chimp that put doritos in hisnfuckin sock and walked around waving an ak47

[buoyant flume]

Don't com2s make it easier to hear footsteps (more bass freq passing thorugh)

[split vapor]

Comtac2 just sound bad

pure tinny sounds

[mossy vale]

@steady pilot whats a safe way to way overweight?

like fat as fuk

[buoyant flume]

K i need ot find myself some sports or sordins to compare

[split vapor]

gssh and RAC best

sordins are good second

[fathom narwhal]

I only put fuel if i am going to be making something right?

for the hideout

[normal bear]

Gssh

Are literally the worst shit

[split vapor]

you spelled comtac2 wrong

sports are bad also

[robust jackal]

Headsets come mostly down to preference

I love comtecs

And sordins

Gssh is too loud

Its way better than nothing but my least favorite

[split vapor]

comtacs just sound like a Jamaican metal drum in your ear for each sound

gssh feel like nothing are on but amplify the small sounds

[trim meteor]

^^ Don't listen to that drivel. They're totally subjective

[split vapor]

eh factual that comtacs r bad

[robust jackal]

I agree

It's preference

[split vapor]

they amplify too many unnecessary sounds

[trim meteor]

You can assert your opinion as many times as you want, doesn't change the objective fact that every headset is subjective in nature. Get a grip.

[split vapor]

calm down bud no one is forcing anything

[robust jackal]

It was tested already the diference is minimal

The distance you can hear anything is basically the same

Just like the other two more cuz its mpre comfortable for me

But i use GSSH a lot

Even thpugh is my least favorite

Vepr looks bretty gud full black

[bold kernel]

I hear things on comtacs long in advance of other players... so some annoying sounds are amped. I still feel the benefits.

[trim meteor]

@bold kernel Same, i can also hear depth perception and distance much more accurately with Comtac2's. But again, it's preferential.

[rich cloak]

@mossy vale take a backpack and fill it with waterbottles

[bold kernel]

occasionally still get asked how I hear foot steps or more then one set and the direction their approaching. Works the same as monitor framerate. each person is different. some can use the difference.

[rich cloak]

green also says moslings arent worth an f opinion not valid

[split vapor]

sv98 is literally better

[rich cloak]

and more expensive ?

[split vapor]

not really

[bold kernel]

sv98 trigger is slow for me... dunno why. I go mosin for a cheap usable sniper

[split vapor]

both scoped and suppressed are the same price

[rich cloak]

i dont even use mosin for sniping

[split vapor]

never had a delay problem like a few people have

[bold kernel]

didn't know sv98 got the battery barter trade

[rich cloak]

they do

[mossy vale]

@rich cloak doesnt that cost a lot for each death?

[rich cloak]

well

you dont wanna die

you just spawn in and sprint around in a corner

somewhere remote with no loot

[mossy vale]

i heard its only when wlking right?

[rich cloak]

or walk around whatever

just move

[mossy vale]

hmm

[rich cloak]

i think it actually levels according to distane traveld

[modern steppe]

could someone help me learn how to loot interchange?

[rich cloak]

if you wanna max out your leveling you should get 90% of your max weight but not over 100%

[buoyant flume]

Wow I just got fucked up by a 3p team in the first 2 mins after i killed one Q_Q

[rich cloak]

that levels endurance and strength

[buoyant flume]

There goes all that sweet loot at I "hatchlinged" earlier on

[rich cloak]

@mossy vale

[mossy vale]

yeah

[rich cloak]

@modern steppe in what regard ? best items to pick up best places to loot ?

[mossy vale]

90%? so like 35kg?

are the empty fuel can still heavy? @rich cloak

[rugged violet]

how can you tell the difference between scavs and pmcs?

[mossy vale]

clothing, weapons,bags

helmet

oh and scav are often acting like AIs

[rich cloak]

behaviour and sleeves @rugged violet

[rugged violet]

ok thanks

[rich cloak]

anything with a helmet and a backpack is most likely playercontroled too

[steady pilot]

[rich cloak]

@mossy vale no clue

[mossy vale]

cuz if they are still heavy without fuel i can juste, loot fuel with scav --> use it --> take it in raid then walk around

[rich cloak]

fuel take up alot of space mate

[marsh depot]

Is there a good channel for looking for team mates?

As a new baddie

[rich cloak]

@marsh depot go to #news-setup and #521628660298678283 and get your stuff in after that you will see a lot of LFG channels

[marsh depot]

Thanks!

[rich cloak]

as soon as you have the PMC role youll see

[primal heath]

so do the LFG channels only appear after you select a language?

[split vapor]

You need to accept the #521628660298678283

[primal heath]

I already did

[buoyant flume]

Hey guys. Are there any special trades or is it just cash for the CPU, GPU, HDD? Just had an Interstate run and survived 🙂

[primal heath]

Still not appearing @split vapor

[buoyant flume]

Did you click the tick emotion below the rules post Devil?

[rich cloak]

^^

[primal heath]

Yes I did well before I asked, sent you a pic of it

[rich cloak]

GPU is big money and CPUs are pretty nice

[buoyant flume]

And sell them all to Therapist Drag?

[rich cloak]

at your money i would sell of it

eh

no

[buoyant flume]

I feel like HDD is a trade for an item right?

[rich cloak]

what level are you ?

it is

[buoyant flume]

Like Tetriz = Bitcoin

[rich cloak]

but its not good

[buoyant flume]

I'm level 7/8

[robust jackal]

did you do #news-setup ? @primal heath

[rich cloak]

HDD for MBSS

[primal heath]

Yup

[rich cloak]

@buoyant flume check the fleamarkt prices

[buoyant flume]

Will do @rich cloak - thanks

[rich cloak]

in theory i would keep the gpu for later on but with 36k in your stash i reccomend selling it

[buoyant flume]

Is the GPU for a quest?

[rich cloak]

theres a bunch of quests that need techparts later on

[buoyant flume]

Ahah yeah I started last night

Got a few Tetriz's yesterdray but blew all my money on insurance and buying armor for PMC after I died a few times

[rich cloak]

you are a was of off that quest so i say you should sell

[buoyant flume]

Okay! Thanks for the advicew

[rich cloak]

dont buy armor

its not worth it

use armor you find and maybe repair damged armor

[buoyant flume]

Kk

[rich cloak]

but buying armor is a huge wast of money when you start of

focus on extracting scavraids

[feral gorge]

Hm

Armor is useful

[rich cloak]

ooh it is

[feral gorge]

But I just hoard it tbh soo I never actually buy it lol

[rich cloak]

but if you are at 36k you should 100 percent not buy it

[feral gorge]

I don't like spending tons of cash on my load outs. I usually spend most of it on my gun and ammo

[rich cloak]

armor only really matters against scavs

[feral gorge]

Well

You see

Today I was running a Kedr

On Factory

Cuz why not

[buoyant flume]

Lmao okay ❤️

An7yways I gotta go. Thanks for all the advice Drag

[feral gorge]

And blueberry armor and helmet PMCs helmet tanks everything

[rich cloak]

@buoyant flume my pleasure have a good one

[gloomy heart]

Just got the game any tips on learning the game?

[dense hinge]

Hey any reason I'm not receiving verification emails?

[rich cloak]

@feral gorge i dont get what the punchline is

[feral gorge]

@rich cloak his armor even tho shit saved him

[rich cloak]

@dense hinge seems like a question for #community-support

[dense hinge]

Thanks will try over there

[rich cloak]

when using a kedr yeah defnetl

[feral gorge]

Mp5 wouldn't have had much luck either tbh

9mm poo

[rich cloak]

@gloomy heart dont expect too get good anytime soon 😛

yes thats what im saying

if you encounter a geared player they will have ammo that shreds anything beneath 4/5

sure the 9mm AP rounds can do some work

[gloomy heart]

oh i know aha

[rich cloak]

but thats about the only useable 9mm cartridge

@gloomy heart allways do scavraids and learn the maps

dont be affraid to take risks when doing a scavrun

[gloomy heart]

ive been watching videos and that like i understand the concept but idk how to get better weapons which ones are good etc. plus mechanics coming from FPS background feels alot different

[normal bear]

How to get weps>>flea market

Which guns are better>>hunter

Just use riffle cartridges and good ammo

[rich cloak]

well in general id say good budget weapons early on a: AKM/7.62 VEPR Hunter ADAR

[gloomy heart]

how do i unlock flee market aha

[normal bear]

Thats enough

Ohh

Lvl 5

[rich cloak]

level 5 @gloomy heart

[normal bear]

Lmao

[gloomy heart]

ahhh

i got the game yesterday aha

[rich cloak]

just focus on scav raids early on

[gloomy heart]

alright

[normal bear]

Ohh I didnt know u are that new

[gloomy heart]

yh quite new

alot of learning to do aha

[rich cloak]

the most important advice: take breaks and keep a cool head when you are having a rough day

going in tilted makes you play stupid

and playing stupid means getting Tarkoved

so dont

[gloomy heart]

Yhyh aha

[feral gorge]

Shoulda told me that before I already lost my nerves to Tarkov lul

[rich cloak]

heh

ive allways had anger issues so tarkov is perfect

[dense hinge]

When playing as a scav you just wait for the timer to run out? Extracting is kinda pointless right? or die lol

[rich cloak]

waht

no

when you extract with a scav you can put your loot into your stash

thats the point of scavruns

[normal bear]

@dense hinge if u wait u die

And lose all ur shit

On scav

Extracting is the point of the game

[dense hinge]

I extracted earlier and had a ton of stuff, half was gone before the transfer screen and i moved the rest to my stash and when i went back nothing was there. Is that normal?

[rich cloak]

no

thats a bug

i had that before where i extract and it only shows you the stuff youve spawned with

clicking around until you get a error message fixes that

[dense hinge]

I read somewhere that to win as a scav was to wait until the raid ended to keep all your gear

[rich cloak]

its a server issue

no thats just trolling

at least i think you still go MIA

never tried it

[dense hinge]

Rofl good to know

So anything i extract with as a scav I "should" be able to transfer to my PMC?

[bold kernel]

yup. lag allowing. sometimes delayed.

[rich cloak]

you 100 percent are allowed to keep everything

if it happens again try to wait it out

[dense hinge]

Hmm well im dissapointed i lost everything, thanks for the information though will give it another shot

[rich cloak]

it will give you a message error

[placid stream]

are scav runs the best way to learn the game then? literally about to do my first raid

[rich cloak]

no

Offline raids are best for learning the game

[placid stream]

i was gonna just go in with a pistol and one spare mag and see what happens

i did a couple offline raids

[rich cloak]

if you select offline mode with scavs on you can learn the game without loosing your equiped loot when dying

[placid stream]

movement is hard to get used to but the AI isn't hard to kill

aight i'll do a few more of those then maybe

[rich cloak]

scavs are best for making easy money

since you litterally allways make plus or stay even

[placid stream]

i want to level up my pmc though

[rich cloak]

you should defnetly raid with your pmc

just dont go crazy on your loadout

[placid stream]

also, can you actually control recoil in this game? in seige and pubg i can control recoil by compensating with the mouse but the recoil on the ARs in this game is fucking mental

[rich cloak]

avoid buying armor

[placid stream]

like do i just have to level the recoil skills?

alright no armour check

[normal bear]

Nah

Mod guns

[rich cloak]

nope

theres a skill that reduces recoil

[normal bear]

You can control.recoil a small bit

[rich cloak]

and gun modding

[normal bear]

But most is done automatically

Dont worry

Guns in this game have no recoil

Especially 5.56

[placid stream]

like i can fire straight with the hardest guns in seige but i fired an AK once and i was like wtf is this shit

[normal bear]

And 5.45

[placid stream]

shit is all over the place

[rich cloak]

recoil controll is leveld any time you shoot a gun

[normal bear]

Cause siege has no recoil

Lmao

[placid stream]

alright so i just gotta do things

[normal bear]

Dont worry

[placid stream]

lol

[normal bear]

Guns.here have no recoil too

U just need to mod em

[frosty plinth]

Is there any gear that will let see through a wooden door? I.E. Had some one trying to wall me through a wooden door, and he was set up just waiting "watching" the wooden door

[placid stream]

so i just mod guns and level skills and don't worry about dragging down on the mouse

?

[rich cloak]

not really a thing you should do early on tho

[normal bear]

Just mod guns

[twilit silo]

And use the right guns

[normal bear]

Dont even need skills

[placid stream]

alright

[normal bear]

Shit like M4 has literally no kick

[twilit silo]

No 7.62x39 guns. No aksu

[normal bear]

Almost airsoft

[rich cloak]

thats just wrong @normal bear

[normal bear]

What

[twilit silo]

Except it isnt

[normal bear]

That it has no kick ?

[placid stream]

7.62 guns seem to be the most common tho

[twilit silo]

A modded m4 has 0 recoil

[rich cloak]

i meant that you shoud allways max you recoil on mods

[normal bear]

Also 7.62 is good early game cheap shit but work

[twilit silo]

@placid stream 5.45 are the most common

[normal bear]

Dont worry about autoing with it

[rich cloak]

m4s are defnetly lasers i dont dissagree on that

[steady pilot]

[normal bear]

@rich cloak huh ?

[twilit silo]

And some of them can be modded to be and excellent gun

[placid stream]

just shoot in head 4head

[normal bear]

Like wdym

[rich cloak]

7.62 is solid for dmr type gameplay

[normal bear]

Or cqb

[placid stream]

okay

[normal bear]

Mid range its okay but meh

[rich cloak]

moding weapons early on is a solid waste of ammo

[placid stream]

i'm just gonna go in with shitter pistols and see what happens

[rich cloak]

sure you can slap a foregrip on

[normal bear]

Anyways

[rich cloak]

go for the legs or the head @placid stream

[normal bear]

Meta dogshit has no recoil and u will get to know that

For now

Stick to cheap guns

[steady pilot]

all you need

[turbid light]

Every pistol is a shitter pistol besides five seven

[normal bear]

Like vepr km and hunter

Five seven is an overpriced pos

Just buy a hunter for the price

[frosty plinth]

Is there any gear that will let see through a wooden door? I.E. Had some one trying to wall me through a wooden door, and he was set up just waiting "watching" the wooden door

[feral gorge]

TT master race

[rich cloak]

@frosty plinth no

[normal bear]

No tf

But u can scan

Doors

[rich cloak]

probably just soundwhoring

[normal bear]

With a gun that is

Probably heard u move and shot through

Or saw u goin in

[rich cloak]

wallbanging doors can be really good

[frosty plinth]

he was camped, far from the power station on Interchange. He shot through the wooden door as I was looting the cabinet

sniper rifle, from distance, waited for me to stop moving

[normal bear]

Then he heard u

Orr

[frosty plinth]

200-300 meters

[normal bear]

If he was far away

The doors might have not rendered

But wait

U were inside power station

[frosty plinth]

yup

[normal bear]

And looting cabs

[frosty plinth]

yup

[normal bear]

There is no angle to shoot into that room from 300m

[rich cloak]

^^

[normal bear]

Even a cheater couldnt

U sure it wasnt just some ricochet ?

[rich cloak]

but yes sometimes doors dont render

[normal bear]

Outside

[frosty plinth]

he would have been at that chain-link fence outside

[rich cloak]

did you actually get hit or just heared the shot

thats like

50 m at most

[normal bear]

Ye

Lmfao

[rich cloak]

and yes thats a range where sometimes doors dont spawn in

ranges seem a lot longer than they are in this game

[frosty plinth]

He missed, but took two shots, very clearly at me

[rich cloak]

dome to big yard on reserve is a little over 200

yeah no thats all okay

[frosty plinth]

but he 100% couldn't hear that I was looting them from the distance he was

[rich cloak]

i also had it happen where the door was desynced so it was open on me and closed on my teammate

[normal bear]

I wish i saw the vod

[stark rain]

I'm stuck here for like

[rich cloak]

@frosty plinth we are not saying that you are to blame here

[normal bear]

Cause what u are saying makes little sense

[stark rain]

30 minutes

Anyone knows how to fix this?

[steady pilot]

https://tenor.com/view/confused-white-persian-guardian-why-gif-11908780

[rich cloak]

restart your launcher

[steady pilot]

^

should have restarted the first minute

[stark rain]

And... Repair required

[frosty plinth]

oh nono, I know, just trying to understand. I'm going to assume he was sitting there with the door un-rendered then

[placid stream]

is it worth insuring my shit if i'm going in with shit tier noob gear?

[frosty plinth]

the next sequence of him killing me was also very sketchy, but I'm just going to roll with it.

[stark rain]

@placid stream then it's a very good insurance return

[bright tundra]

any1 wanna teach me abit of the game? am lvl 22 but cant do solo's idk why

[stark rain]

@bright tundra in order to learn solo ull have to play solo

[rich cloak]

the worse the gear the more likely youll get it back @placid stream

[stark rain]

It's all about locating your enemy that matters

[rich cloak]

what nucleophile said

[stark rain]

Always wear comtacs, and be brave

[rich cloak]

you dont learn to walk by sitting

not too brave tho 😛

[stark rain]

Youll need to have the guts to fight when necessary

[rich cloak]

yeah thats true

[stark rain]

Try to get advantage

And be patient

[rich cloak]

stand your ground when in good positions

[modern steppe]

are scav runs better for interchange?

[rich cloak]

and sometimes its the best call to switch to a aggresive playstyle

in what way TowMater

[modern steppe]

for loot lol idk

[rich cloak]

interchange has really nice loot yes

[modern steppe]

fuckin last round i died from energy loss

[stark rain]

I don't consider scav runs better for anything

[modern steppe]

pisses me off like dying from not eating in 30 minutes kills you how realistic

[stark rain]

Since you can't get to your loot first-hand

[rich cloak]

@modern steppe if your tummy gets blacked you head for extract

@stark rain its literally free money

[modern steppe]

was in the middle of mf scav shootout

bout to heal my head with car and the animation fucks out

rip

[rich cloak]

i dont think you can actually run out of energy realisticly without some heavy fighting

[stark rain]

Zero risk-----10k roubles
15% risk of ruin-----50k roubles
Oh boy I'll choose the latter

[modern steppe]

wym nucleophile

[rich cloak]

yeah i dont get it either

[stark rain]

Runnin PMCs have a higher risk of losing stuff

But ull get more

[modern steppe]

ya

how u get more tho

[stark rain]

A lot more

[rich cloak]

thats facutally wrong

[stark rain]

By running rich spots, of course

[modern steppe]

cant you do the same as a scav

[rich cloak]

you have exactly the same odds

yes it will be harder if you have nothing on you

[stark rain]

You enter as a scan and all the valuables are already gone

Scav

[rich cloak]

factually not true

the fastest you can spawn in is 5 min after start

[modern steppe]

so should i run interchange scav or pmc

bc there are so many scavs on interchange it is scary

[rich cloak]

both imo

but reserve is also really nice

for scav at least

[modern steppe]

i heard interchange is awesome for loot

[stark rain]

Basically I run reserve and all the pricey shit in Queen and Pawn South gets robbed in 5 minutes

[rich cloak]

i dont go for boxed loot on reserve

@modern steppe it is

[stark rain]

Sometimes I spawn late as and I get nothin

[rich cloak]

lots of highvalue item spawns

[stark rain]

Ofc not boxed loot

[rich cloak]

@stark rain might i introduce you to raiders ?

[stark rain]

1. Risk is higher
2. Not 100% spawn chance
3. Takes longer time

[modern steppe]

could one of you kind fellas guide me thru either interchange or reserve

[stark rain]

I can literally make 500k roubles in 15 minutes in reserve

[modern steppe]

bro fr

[rich cloak]

@stark rain raiders have a litteral 100 perent spawnchance

[stark rain]

@modern steppe I wish I could, but I'm still stuck in launcher

[modern steppe]

teach me papa

i need da money brother

[rich cloak]

we all do

[modern steppe]

im a poor mf

[stark rain]

Wait for me till I get my game ready

[modern steppe]

ty my man

can i add u

[stark rain]

No probs

On my last reserve raid yesterday I got 1 VPX, 2 SG-C10, a bunch of MCBs and M Cables, and some guns

Roughly translates to 1 mil

[modern steppe]

dont know what those are but

good job

wow that is insane

on 1 raid

[stark rain]

Reserve is just so rich

[modern steppe]

i need to learn

this game has me addicted

[stark rain]

Do you have aN RR

[modern steppe]

what that

[stark rain]

Red rebel

Ice pik

[modern steppe]

oh nah

how to get that?

[rich cloak]

find it

or but if or 3 mik

[stark rain]

Buy or find

[rich cloak]

*mil

[modern steppe]

3 mil wtf

man i got 400k

[rich cloak]

because reserve extracts suck ass

[stark rain]

It's ok

[modern steppe]

how to find that shit

[stark rain]

Get a big ass rig

[rich cloak]

and RR lets you use one that allways spawns

[stark rain]

OK lemme tell u

[dreamy quarry]

just bought the game and played a couple games since yesterday.. looking for someone to play with ;D

any takers^

[stark rain]

The most used extracts on reserve for hatchlings or moslings

[dreamy quarry]

hi btw*

[stark rain]

Are Cliff descent and Sewer manhole

[rich cloak]

@dreamy quarry go to #news-setup and #521628660298678283 put your stuff in and youll see a #pvp-lfg

[stark rain]

@dreamy quarry hi

[modern steppe]

ya i done the sewer manhole a few times

not great loot tho

[dreamy quarry]

ights

thanks drago

[rich cloak]

my pleasure

[stark rain]
