as long as like, you aren't super obnoxious lol

don't join rando squads

like through the in game thing

50% chance they invite you just to shoot you when you spawn

[sage sun]

Oh

[rocky ocean]

are there any guides or anything for settings?

[sage sun]

Can you play with me?

[desert hull]

other 50% they just shoot you near the end

graphical or otherwise? @rocky ocean

[rocky ocean]

yea graphical

and just general settings

[desert hull]

I can for a bit maybe @sage sun

[rocky ocean]

players should use

[sage sun]

OKay

[desert hull]

@rocky ocean you can copy mine

highish performance with high visibility

[rocky ocean]

sounds good

[desert hull]

one second

if you have a better GPU than I you can turn some stuff up

@rocky ocean

but I get 55-60fps on all maps with this

with a 1060 3gb

higher depending on map

[rocky ocean]

thanks!

i just want to get as much fps as possible

[desert hull]

mwahahaha

[split vapor]

Also Tarkov is like hella unoptimized. But that’s just shoreline and milbase

[desert hull]

@rocky ocean you can run lower settings, I'd just keep TAA on personally

makes the game look much nicer

[rocky ocean]

thanks!

[cerulean cape]

any clue when adar 80 dura bug will be fixed? would be nice gun if it didnt hit shit dura after 1 raid 😦

[fickle kettle]

use other gun

[steady pilot]

Bruh its straight up a 80 durability gun

The buying for 100 durability is a meme

It still acts like 80

Just use a better rifle

[modern steppe]

ayo delta

[steady pilot]

@split vapor <-- this guy can go on forums and request him

[modern steppe]

#sherpa-info

[split vapor]

Hm

Ryan can you not

[modern steppe]

what

just need sherpa

[frank beacon]

Dude interchange be like

Dead quiet

Then u suddenly hear bombs and gunshots in ur ear

Fuck this map aaaa

[serene cloak]

this game is so in depth its insane

[fathom cove]

@serene cloak ikr

[serene cloak]

im struggling to get the combat down, is there rng while adsing?

[fickle kettle]

rmg ?

rng*

[fathom cove]

@serene cloak the only RNG might be the recoil if thats what you are meaning?

[serene cloak]

i mean while adsing, even if it looks to you like your on target is there still a chance to miss because the weapon sway adds an rng element?

like with a pistol for example

[fathom cove]

Thats not RNG mate, thats accuracy

[desert hull]

@serene cloak guns have accuracy

[fathom cove]

You experience RNG when looting containers for example

[desert hull]

also there is weapon zeroing

[serene cloak]

zeroing even with pistols?

that doesnt make sense to me

unless i missed something about iron sights irl

[quartz stag]

400k for 218 key? will i make this money back if so how long will it take?

[fathom cove]

@quartz stag if you get the red keycard (wich is a possible spawn in the 218 west wing) its atleast 10M so yeah thats RNG for you

[serene cloak]

well i guess ill just get gud at some point but what map do you guys recommend starting at?

[quartz stag]

but are there items with a semi constent spawn?

[bold kernel]

i'm a new to the game, anyone wanna play

[quartz stag]

@bold kernel #pvp-lfg

might find someone there

[fathom cove]

Yep, the weapon cabinets and loose loot for example, also the LEDX

[quartz stag]

thats a constant spawn?

[fathom cove]

Nope, RNG

Tarkov loot = RNG

[quartz stag]

I know that but you got items like the tetris with a semi constint spawn

so 1/4 you normmaly get one

[fathom cove]

You will get your moneys worth if you are consistent with visiting the room

[quartz stag]

alright i trust you

[lean nimbus]

very new to the game

anyone wanna play?

[fickle kettle]

there is only 1 thing constant

[lean nimbus]

I have decent gunplay

[fickle kettle]

that is if you see a vepr hunter scav

you will get a headshot or somthing black xd

[fathom cove]

lol

[bold kernel]

True lol

[fathom cove]

or mosin scav, they are scary af

[fickle kettle]

nah

mosin scav is not really that scary

[fathom cove]

They are fucking scary lol

[quartz stag]

shotgun scav is scary

[fickle kettle]

cause most of the time mosin scav always miss

but yes shotgun + hunter scav are super scary

[fathom cove]

Hunter < Mosin imo

[fickle kettle]

i never get hit my mosin scav

[fathom cove]

Youve been lucky then

[fickle kettle]

cause they always miss, espeically first hit

shot*

but if they have a danm hunter, they gonna spray that xd

[echo geode]

So, for my first match with PMC (didn't play with SCAV yet), which place should I select?

[fathom cove]

Interchange is good loot

[fickle kettle]

for first match you wanted to level up as fast as you can

you need to go level 5 o-o

to open trader + flea market

so anyplace beside shoreline

[fathom cove]

@echo geode i recommend finding someone to raid with, this game can be a bit unforgiving solo at start

find a "guide"

[bold kernel]

Personally, customs is the go to, I’d say

[fathom cove]

Everyone says Customs, i dont understand why

[bold kernel]

It’s linear with enough spots to camp for new players

[fickle kettle]

srs custom is only good for certain server

[gritty cape]

i love customs. i started about 2 weeks ago and thats my main run. it has lots of pvp in pmc, but the map is easy to learn and youll be more aware of whats going on

[fathom cove]

It's a horrible map tbh, i'd highly recommend Interchange or Woods if you gonna camp

[bold kernel]

I’m still on customs after about two weeks now. Thinking about starting interchange or reserve tomorrow

[gritty cape]

but is he camping?

i quite like interchange

woods is a big map and can be disorienting

[echo geode]

How about factory?

[desert leaf]

I"m getting to know customs more, but its still hard as heck keep getting clapped

[fathom cove]

Factory is basically instant PVP

[fickle kettle]

because is where alots of sweatty ppl go lol custom i mean

[gritty cape]

@desert leaf i like customs bc at least i know why im getting clapped and whats going on

[fathom cove]

without the Factory key it can be a bit tough

[bold kernel]

Do not go dorms if you’re still learning map, cause you won’t extract if you don’t know map

[desert leaf]

@gritty cape same I still have yet to complete a raid with out getting killed

[feral gorge]

How about not teaching newbies to camp lmfao?

[gritty cape]

^

[echo geode]

I've watched some Tarkov streams and I know some places to extract

[feral gorge]

And instead teach them how to play properly

[bold kernel]

Not camping but hiding

[echo geode]

I know two in factory

[fathom cove]

How is camping not a viable strat lol

[distant sigil]

i started on woods lol

[bold kernel]

This is not a run and gun game lol

[feral gorge]

It's a boring and pussy strat

[fathom cove]

Its individual

[feral gorge]

It also isn't crouch walk for 40 minutes game

[distant sigil]

camping isn't a good way to learn any map or what loot is about

[gritty cape]

its definitely okay to camp. this game is about patience. kinda sucks being on the other end, but this game is difficult anyways

[bold kernel]

I’m not saying stay in a spot the entire game lol

But at least to get away from Scavs or pmc’s

[gritty cape]

learn the maps first and foremost

[feral gorge]

Huh

Camp to get away

?

What?

[fathom cove]

Map knowledge is key, so that you know wich places to camp lol

[bold kernel]

Yes

[feral gorge]

[gritty cape]

"I’m not saying stay in a spot the entire game lol
But at least to get away"

[bold kernel]

It’s worked quite well several times for me 🙂

[distant sigil]

camping works for anyone

[gritty cape]

he said it strangely but you know what he means

[feral gorge]

@distant sigil didn't work for 90% of gate 3 campers I encountered kekw

Just nade gate 3 easy

They'll move then shoot them if nade doesn't get em

[gritty cape]

gate camping is poopy. but we arent just talking gate camping

[fathom cove]

Dont camp extracts, camp hot spots

[distant sigil]

lol

[bold kernel]

This game is about dynamics not one set way of doing things LOL

[distant sigil]

i've never seen a gate camper, that's weak

[fathom cove]

Yep, agree

[bold kernel]

and camping / hiding is one of those dynamics

[fathom cove]

Tarkov rewards all kinds of gameplay, thats what i love about it

[feral gorge]

Excessively doing either bad, but I'm getting vibes most of u lads excessively camp?

[fathom cove]

I love playing aggressive just as much as i love camping certain areas

[gritty cape]

i sneak around more than anything and make fairly decent profit, lots of different playstyles work

[bold kernel]

I don’t usually at all but if I have to

I will

[desert hull]

Love sneaking

very viable in eft

[gritty cape]

sneeky breeky

[feral gorge]

Hmm

Well like

Don't sneak over an open field

[fathom cove]

Just remember people with headsets will still hear you crouch and slow walk

[feral gorge]

U run across to get out of the open

[desert hull]

sneaking isnt just about being quiet

its also about just staying out of bad fights

[feral gorge]

No fight is a bad fight kekw

[gritty cape]

no fight = life

[bold kernel]

Yes there are wtf lol

[gritty cape]

lol

[desert leaf]

lol I keep trying to sneak with my pistol and still just end up dead no matter how carful I am

[fathom cove]

I let others fight and then pick of the last guys and then im in loot heaven ez

[bold kernel]

You should not necessarily engage in every fight unless you have to LOL

[desert leaf]

its mainly just been on look their is a high level player decked out who just smoked me two mins into the game

[feral gorge]

Well obviously trying to 1v4 head on isn't smart but it's far from undoable

[gritty cape]

on the other hand ive seen people sneak up on fights between two groups and get a few kills off

[feral gorge]

@bold kernel see, depends on what ur plan for that raid is

And ur current situation in the raid

[desert leaf]

I knew what I was getting into but damn this has just been hell to do anything of value so far

[fickle kettle]

@desert leaf what server are you in ?

[bold kernel]

I mean, yea. But I personally only take fights I know I’ll win or at least have a good shot or if they engage me first

I’m still learning a lot tho

[feral gorge]

@desert leaf u don't sneak with pistols, with pistols you have least amount of weight. Therfore most speed. Use speed as ur sneak

[fathom cove]

Only viable pistol is Five-Seven imo

[desert leaf]

@fickle kettle USA servers I just keep getting clapped

[feral gorge]

Lmao no

Why buy a 30k pistol? That's a Hunter at that point

[fathom cove]

Pistol strat is weak

[fickle kettle]

it normal to get clapp in US server lol

[desert leaf]

@fickle kettle yea I know but as fast as I get clapped I am better off just going in with a knife

[feral gorge]

M9 probably all around best pistol this wipe

[fathom cove]

@feral gorge you poor or what lol

[fickle kettle]

hatchet time lel

[bold kernel]

I will say I’ve never done a hatchet run

Not opposed just never tried

[desert leaf]

eh what will happen is I"l ljust loose all my stuff wait three weeks to reset

[fickle kettle]

@desert leaf if you really wanted to get some gear but being high ping tell me

[feral gorge]

@fathom cove Lmfao? Ugh mate look... Would u rather get a pistol for 30k that's easy to steal if u die since u most likely will with no armor usually as a pistoling....

Or would u rather buy a mosin for 30k that people almost never pick up cuz it's cheap but large as fuck yet deals shit ton of power?

[desert hull]

seeing nobody throughout a 45m raid: @gritty cape

[gritty cape]

i dont get that hate on hatchet running. its really not profitable for anyone

[fickle kettle]

cause i can take you on to Asia irl night

[desert hull]

[fickle kettle]

get you gear up and med up

[gritty cape]

@desert hull sneeky snek

[desert hull]

loot and scoot

yoink and yeet

[desert leaf]

@fickle kettle hell if I know

[fathom cove]

We are not comparing pistols with bolt actions here m8. If you gonna roll Pistols Five-seven is the best

[gritty cape]

sometimes thats all it takes 😉 @desert hull

[fickle kettle]

lol it depend on you @desert leaf

[feral gorge]

@fathom cove Technically yes sure, but that doesn't make it worth running the 5.7 even tho it's the best pistol

[desert hull]

yeah lemme buy a pistol that costs as much as a vepr hunter

[feral gorge]

^^

[desert leaf]

shrug I just suck at the game

[desert hull]

[feral gorge]

Turbo gets it

[fathom cove]

If you gonna roll pistols why not use the best lol

[feral gorge]

Look

U don't roll pistols

[desert hull]

I mean yeah if you specifically just want to meme with pistols

[feral gorge]

Just for rolling pistols

[fathom cove]

IF you are

[feral gorge]

Lmfao

[desert hull]

or you're doing stirrup

[fathom cove]

Jesus read man

[fickle kettle]

@desert leaf nah it just take time to learn and use to it

[desert hull]

but its usually not economic to use 5-7

[feral gorge]

I am reading u PMC

[distant sigil]

this seems more like a dick measuring contest than a beginner's assistance channel

[desert hull]

i dont think anyone is bragging?

[fathom cove]

Haha you are right lol, but this guy does not get it, im talking pistols and he keeps on comparing with hunters and mosins

[feral gorge]

IF I'm running pistols I will personally run a TT or a M9, because they are cheap and efficient and effective and I like them... At the price point of the 5.7 I will just stop running a pistol cuz I can get something better

Is that hard to comprehend

???

[fathom cove]

Im running Five-Seven with my HK/SVD, im not using a TT lol

[desert leaf]

@feral gorge so sell off 9x18 and get a Tok if I can?

[feral gorge]

Tok?

[desert hull]

Tokarev

[fathom cove]

@feral gorge runs Saiga or Toz with his TT

[desert hull]

or he meant Toz

[feral gorge]

No I don't run pistols alongside my main gun lol

[desert hull]

I use pistols when using snipers

[desert leaf]

well for a newbie?

[desert hull]

and if I want to meme a bit on scavs

also for budget runs

[feral gorge]

Also @desert leaf makarov works too its just a matter of preference tbh. M9 is ur friend as a newbie tho

[desert hull]

theres a diff between running a pistol only for a budget run

and using one alongside an AKM as a backup

the former is useful

the latter is debatabely questionably probably bad

[fathom cove]

Id say SKS is far superior instead of pistol runs if you gonna run cheap

[desert hull]

I mean if you have pistols you have pistols

[bold kernel]

sks bad eckss dee

[feral gorge]

Vepr KM > SKS

[desert hull]

also M9 is like 11k

and M9 is great

skeet skeet

braaaap

[feral gorge]

M9 is 12k

17 rounds

Already threaded barrel

Gucci accuracy

[desert hull]

just cant pen armor well

[feral gorge]

And easily accessible

[desert hull]

so uhh, don't aim center mass

ez

either headshots or leg meta PMCs

preferably headshots

[feral gorge]

I mean AP 6.3 has 25 pen. You can do with a faceshield class 3 in a few shots

9x18 PMM has 25 pen too

[desert hull]

you probably arent using AP 6.3 in a budget M9

[fathom cove]

Goood luck pen armor class 4 lads

[desert hull]

idk how much PMM is

[feral gorge]

You don't go center mass with a pistol tho lol

[desert hull]

but PMM is good ye

[fathom cove]

PMM is 25 pen

[feral gorge]

He meant price

[fathom cove]

It hardly pens class 3

[desert hull]

I mean theres pros and cons

you arent using a god damn pistol to kill gearboys regardless

and if using something like an ABS or APS, PMM can pen lvl3 decently

[feral gorge]

I mean u can effectively spam an M9 with 6.3 and kill someone to in the face shield

But I don't even meet people running faceshields often sooo free face taps pistol or AK

[desert hull]

ye but 6.3 no bueno budget

I mean its about 23k roub for the m9 plus 50 rds of 6.3

so thats not too bad

but if you're pistol running you probably aint super wealthy

[fathom narwhal]

how many hours left

till the sale is over

[modern steppe]

ayo turboclicker

[fathom cove]

You roll that M9 with PST_gzh if you going budget

[modern steppe]

wanna run some interchange

[desert hull]

sure

let me grab my glock

[feral gorge]

Glock ew

M9 better personally

[modern steppe]

should i bring glock with drum

hehe never used it

[fathom cove]

Lol drum on glock haha

[desert hull]

bringing it boys

[feral gorge]

Hideous

[modern steppe]

yes

[feral gorge]

I am disgusted

[modern steppe]

i love it

join us luka

[desert hull]

do you want to know the recoil stats

[modern steppe]

i am a new mf

[desert hull]

effective range should be 3m

[modern steppe]

incredible

[feral gorge]

It's 4 am I'd love to but I ain't playing since 3 hours ago now lel

[echo falcon]

brand new (lvl 4), would love to join a raid 🙂

[desert hull]

[desert hull]

jaeger a slut

[feral gorge]

Yeee

Jager quests stupid af man

[fickle kettle]

jager quest and himself is not really for new player

i think the dev make him for the sweaty boi and player who played alots xd

because his quest hard and the stuff his selling silly xd mostly is the t-7 googles

[feral gorge]

Jager was literally made for Pestily

Nobody else lmfao

Since his quests aren't even fun they're just absurd and dumb

[fickle kettle]

alots of ppl still able to finish him dou

[feral gorge]

I mean yeah

They aren't really hard

They are just dumb af

I finished a lot too

[fickle kettle]

i like jaeger quest

mostly because he give mosin mod

mlem mlem

[feral gorge]

SV98 and R700 > Mosin

[lapis mauve]

I love the super light m700 stock because you can aim while crouched and not use stamina

[feral gorge]

Ye new M700 mods lit

Plus gun is cheap thanks to scav spawns

[rocky ocean]

what happens if the time runs out?

[feral gorge]

You go MIA

[desert hull]

@feral gorge luka

I know you hate glocks

[feral gorge]

Aka Missing in Action @rocky ocean

[desert hull]

but do you happen to have any drum mags

because aint nobody got any

[feral gorge]

And you don't get insurance back either @rocky ocean soo it's better to die than go MIA

@desert hull who sells em?

[desert hull]

mechanic

[rocky ocean]

ok thanks!

[feral gorge]

What LL

[desert hull]

2

wait

3

[feral gorge]

Hm

How many do u need?

[desert hull]

like 2 more

[lapis mauve]

If you are going to go mia throw your stuff on the ground

[fickle kettle]

1 thing i like the mosin is very cheap and very reliable too

[feral gorge]

Ugh but I'd have to turn muh PC on now

[desert hull]

up to you homeboy

[feral gorge]

@lapis mauve no that doesn't help

[desert hull]

i have 2 drums

but you know I could use 4 drums

[fickle kettle]

and the arcangel + black mosin look lit

[lapis mauve]

Mosin is 5-10 k cheaper than sv-98

[feral gorge]

@lapis mauve If you go MIA anything you took in raid isn't under insurance

[lapis mauve]

Version that can mount a scope is more expensive

Huh

[feral gorge]

@lapis mauve also no it isnt. Sv98 is actually cheaper than Mosin sniper var.

[fickle kettle]

who use sv-98

[lapis mauve]

I just said that

[feral gorge]

Ye sry I was delayed lol

[lapis mauve]

Lol np

[fickle kettle]

there is only m700 or mosin

[feral gorge]

But ye if u go MIA you don't get any insurance back

[desert hull]

you doing it luka or nah

is ok if no

[lapis mauve]

Rip

[feral gorge]

@desert hull Sorry man can't be waking up everyone else in the house since my fans are at max lol

[desert hull]

[lapis mauve]

He needs 1200 rpm

[feral gorge]

May God be on ur side lmfao

[desert hull]

1200 RPM

[faint violet]

how do I not die

[desert hull]

12000 recoil

dont use that gun above

@faint violet

[faint violet]

lmaok

[desert hull]

admire it from a distance

but do not touch

[faint violet]

like a snake?

[desert hull]

yes but this snake bites the user

[faint violet]

oh

[feral gorge]

Sackd how do you die?

[faint violet]

I die by sniping some dude then looting

then being sniped myself

[feral gorge]

Hm

Okay

Soo

Don't go

[faint violet]

I basically never survive

[feral gorge]

Straight for the loot

Do not

[faint violet]

and never extract because I dont know where the fuck I am

[feral gorge]

Hmmm

Okay soo

[faint violet]

I need someone to handhold me please

[feral gorge]

Learn maps

Aaand

Always assume there is one more

Like you killed one guy? Assume there is one more nearby, killed that one too? Still assume there is one more

Cuz there is always one more

[faint violet]

so never loot unless im sure there is no one in like a 3km distance

mk

sounds easy enough

[feral gorge]

Not 3km distance but ye u get the point lul

[faint violet]

ye

[feral gorge]

Learn spawns too and routes soo that you know where people are usually gonna be at what point of the raid

[faint violet]

that I know

[rocky ocean]

there is soo much too learn before being to actually play this game ^^

[feral gorge]

Oh shid It's Neko typing, I thought you died or something @sterile vapor

[faint violet]

ok one more thing before I go back to dying and losing money

how does insurance work

[frank beacon]

if no one takes ya shit you get it back

[faint violet]

how long does that take

[frank beacon]

24 hours or so

[faint violet]

.-.

[feral gorge]

@faint violet You insure with Prapor (always) and if you die or drop ur stuff in raid, if nobody else takes it you will get it back in a day or two

[faint violet]

day or two

ok that means I need to get a life

[frank beacon]

well 24 hours

[feral gorge]

Usually 24hrs

[faint violet]

aight

thats easy enough to remember

[fickle kettle]

but ther give you more time dou

[faint violet]

I had a stroke reading that

what

[frank beacon]

prapor gives you more than enough time to grab ya loot

[fickle kettle]

therapist*

3 day is not eough for me

[feral gorge]

No don't insure with Therapist reeee

[faint violet]

wait I have to grab it

holup

[feral gorge]

@faint violet ye ye I'll explain

[fickle kettle]

i need that 6 day

[feral gorge]

Sooo after let's say 24hr

He sends it to you

But

you have limited time to get it from the msg before it disappears

[feral gorge]

And it's on a 2 day timer or something and if u don't claim it its gone

[faint violet]

._.

[frank beacon]

if ur playing the game at least every 4 days you do not need to insure with therapist

waste of money

[faint violet]

I always insure with the creepy old guy

[feral gorge]

Good

[faint violet]

so itdontmatter

[fickle kettle]

but it not even that expensive

[faint violet]

im broke

[feral gorge]

Avi

Ur advice bad

[faint violet]

I only have like 90k russian money

[feral gorge]

Shush

[fickle kettle]

waaa

[bold kernel]

[feral gorge]

@bold kernel wdym

Drunk Tarkov best tarkov

[frank beacon]

Shot him in the willy

[faint violet]

and its absorbed

[brisk mantle]

Howdy y'all, bought Tarkov yesterday! (Who didn't, honestly?)

[faint violet]

[fickle kettle]

asian didnt

[faint violet]

I bought it today

[rocky ocean]

same here

[faint violet]

anyone wanna play tho

I wanna group up to die in numbers

[brisk mantle]

Looks like my client will be ready to launch in roughly an hour. Any experienced or semi-experienced players willing to let me tag along?

[feral gorge]

I bought Tarkov lets seee, 3 years ago?

[faint violet]

lmao

same with him I want big daddy senpai luka to carry me

nohomo

[feral gorge]

Lmfao

[faint violet]

yeah and I found this neat bug that is gamebreaking today

[feral gorge]

Nah I succ even with the hourage I got in eft

[faint violet]

the more the merrier chief

[feral gorge]

Probably would play if it wasn't 4:40 am yknow

[faint violet]

its 22:39 here

lmoa

[feral gorge]

EU land feels kekw

[brisk mantle]

another East Coast dude eh

[faint violet]

YESSIR

[barren current]

@brisk mantle if i am on hmu anyone can roll with me if they want to learn

[faint violet]

let me then

im asscakes at this

[brisk mantle]

Well, I've got 8.8 GB of 10.1 downloaded, then it's gotta unpack, so probably an hour before I can do anything

[feral gorge]

Wot? U got like 500kbps download or something?

[brisk mantle]

Had to vpn to St. Petersburg to get anything over 100KB/s

[feral gorge]

I get Tarkov freshly installed in 15 minutes even with unpacking

[brisk mantle]

my usual download speed is like 5MB/s on steam and other services

[feral gorge]

Oof my dude

[brisk mantle]

I expected Tarkov to take me like an hour to download cause on Steam any like 10GB game takes about an hour usually...

but apparently theres some kind of disagreement between US ISPs and Russian content servers or something?

[feral gorge]

U got an SSD right?

[brisk mantle]

and a VPN like Proton is the only way to bypass it

[feral gorge]

Unpacking shouldn't take an hour lmao, plus if ur 8.8/10 that shouldn't take too long either

Also Proton VPN ewww man

Why Proton out of all the VPNs

[brisk mantle]

Cause it was the one I saw recommended most often in my brief search. What, have they been sacrificing babies or something?

[feral gorge]

I can't even watch a YouTube video at 360p with Proton when on the closest server

[brisk mantle]

well, the 500+KB/s is a whole lot better than no VPN and 90KB/s

so...

[zealous forge]

Do raider boss usually get into player scavs face?

And then shoot?

[fickle kettle]

yes

raider too

[zealous forge]

Ah

[feral gorge]

Windscribe should be a good free vpn

[zealous forge]

I was wondering if I got used as a human shield or not for a moment

[brisk mantle]

also @feral gorge I have 10k RPM harddrive, my SSD is dedicated to system files

[brazen owl]

As a PMC, all Scavs (even AI) are my enemies?

[brisk mantle]

yes

[feral gorge]

@brisk mantle oh boy welp gl with loading into raids lol

No ssd no bueno for tarky

[brisk mantle]

I don't really have a choice

[feral gorge]

Can't you have both ur OS and game on the SSD?

Or is it like

A 124GB ssd?

[faint violet]

ssd

[brisk mantle]

nailed it, existing programs and supporting files already take up a lot of it

[faint violet]

oh boy

im bouta buy a sata 3 ssd

im on some ass hard drive currently

[feral gorge]

Ye sata 3 ssds cheap nowadays

[brisk mantle]

well, hmmmm

actually

[faint violet]

yeah found this 240gb for 27 USD

[brisk mantle]

there is some room here, now that I checked on it

[faint violet]

games only what

10-20gb

[brisk mantle]

I cleared it out a while back, but i forgot I did so apparently.

Is it possible to move a Tarkov Install once it completes?

[civic ridge]

bruhh im new anyone wana tell me how the fuck to do this

[faint violet]

same boat as you brother

[civic ridge]

mines almost done downloading

[feral gorge]

I got a 240gig ssd too only use it for Tarkov and OS

[civic ridge]

im scared to go in alone

[faint violet]

you can move anything once it install

[dim swan]

do ssd drives spawn in computers?

[faint violet]

hmmmmm

negative

[brisk mantle]

I've just heard wierd things about tarkov and moving files

[faint violet]

just be safe

install it in the drive you will keep it in

[brisk mantle]

A little late for that, cause I am NOT babysitting this download twice in a row today.

[faint violet]

or just get fast interwebs to install it somewhat quickly

10mb/s

ehe

[brisk mantle]

I've been here making sure it doesn't error and stop for the past 6 hours

[feral gorge]

@dim swan maybe I'm not sure how ever. Try use #wiki-chat and type !wiki SSD

[jovial bolt]

'''

[brisk mantle]

also @faint violet nothing I do besides getting this VPN helped with the download speed at all, my usual download speed is 3-5MB/s, which is good enough for most things, but for some reason Tarkov was only getting like 90KB/s, and now with this VPN it's maxing out at like 500KB/s.

"Just get fast interwebs" fucking where

[shell verge]

anyone have a looter's guide for priority of items, like which ones are worth more and which ones are worth less and not worth picking up

[fickle kettle]

it kinda hard

cause there is alots of thing you need

[feral gorge]

@shell verge no not really cause prices change over time

[brisk mantle]

A lot of people seem focused on maximizing their loot payout and stuff, but I've never really been a fan of that in games.

I'd rather just find what I do and explore and shit, not focus on speedrunning best loot spawns or some bullshit

[fickle kettle]

@shell verge i mean i can show you a few stuff if you need o-o

reminder therapist insure is gucci

[feral gorge]

I was a giant sucker for playing purely economically and only efficiently 2 years ago. Playing for fun nets me more cash instead anyway lol

[fickle kettle]

@feral gorge ikr

sorry for the ping also

[bold rampart]

how should i deal with low value equippable items?

[brisk mantle]

I feel like playing purely for numbers to go up means that you're going to focus on that as the only measure of fun, rather than the experience of the game as a whole.

[bold rampart]

sell them to traders or on flea market

[feral gorge]

@fickle kettle nah I don't mind at all I always ping people when I talk in chat anyways lmfao, plus I have pings muted on all servers anyway

[zealous forge]

What does the room 206 key do?

Besides the water quest

[fickle kettle]

trash beside water quest 👌

[feral gorge]

@bold rampart wdym by that lol

[bold rampart]

how do i get rid of unwanted items

sell them to traders or smth else

[fickle kettle]

hah it depend the stuff you mean unwanted

but most the time flea is an aswer

answer*

[bold rampart]

ight thx

[feral gorge]

@bold rampart Could u give an example?

Like what item

[bold rampart]

items stripped from scavs like scav bp

[desert hull]

Just had a pretty shitty raid @feral gorge

shitty as in, went in hoping for glock memes on scavs

found 5 players

in a night interchange raid on a dead server

[fickle kettle]

i see no killa

[desert hull]

we got ambushed by campers 5x

literlly

[feral gorge]

@bold rampart personally I hoard backpacks and stack them into infinity, but ye first check trader price then flea market price. If they are similar sell to trader cause market tax isn't worth it. If its way more expensive on flea sell there obviously and if not then ye trader

[wary crypt]

where can i find people to play with as a beginner? I don't see any LFG channels

[desert hull]

you need to accept #521628660298678283 and #news-setup

[feral gorge]

@desert hull nice, campers bad

[fickle kettle]

@wary crypt cause you need to #news-setup

[wary crypt]

thanks ❤️

[bold rampart]

@feral gorge thx for the tips

[fickle kettle]

and also are you asia ?

[feral gorge]

@wary crypt Accept #521628660298678283 then you'll be good 2 go, if it doesn't work message modmail

[fickle kettle]

blackmail mod

[feral gorge]

Bad joke

-5 respect

[fickle kettle]

ik

not my rep waaa

[wary crypt]

hmm no new channels showed up, messaged modmail

im USA @fickle kettle btw

[fickle kettle]

we are not friend den @wary crypt

jk

[wary crypt]

i had a game related question though. everytime I die as my PMC, my health goes to shit and i have to use a bunch of those orange cheese slices to heal up and they run out quick and are also expensive

is there any way around this or im doing it right

takes like 3 of them per death using "heal all"

[feral gorge]

This is a feature yes

Post raid healing

This is to punish dying

[wary crypt]

ive just been buying them from therapist for 3k

[feral gorge]

Economically its best to use Grizzly medkits tho @wary crypt

[wary crypt]

havent made it to extraction once yet xD

[fickle kettle]

dw healing and med are just a bit rare in the early game

[feral gorge]

But even more economically its best to not get shoot at all

[fickle kettle]

you will have alots of them soon

[wary crypt]

ohh just dont die? ill try that

[feral gorge]

@vernal anchor oy hook this man up with PMC role btw

[copper whale]

anyone wanna come do some raids?

[wary crypt]

[copper whale]

yeah

[wary crypt]

yeah

[bold kernel]

k

[simple urchin]

what causes dogtags to say this?

[fickle kettle]

so much us, so little asia

@simple urchin either he died by nade

or he just refund the game

his own nade*

and also it could be a bug

did you picture it in-raid ?

[simple urchin]

yea

[fickle kettle]

go outside raid and check again

[simple urchin]

the guy i was helping on shoreline near the pier but he just randomly died, im not sure what caused it

aight

@fickle kettle yea it shows outside raid, ty

[feral gorge]

@simple urchin reseted account

[simple urchin]

ok thanks

[lapis mauve]

He may have left the raid if he was a hatchling

[faint violet]

first game with someone I fuck the dog and mistake them for enemies

lmao

[zealous forge]

I'm sorry what

fucking the dog is a really weird phrase to use

[lapis mauve]

Ikr

Do you do that in public

[gritty cape]

😮

[feral gorge]

Fuck the dog

What lmfao

[brisk mantle]

???????????????????

@faint violet

[faint violet]

fuck the dog

that means

to fuck something up

to mess it up

[brazen owl]

My AK doesnt have a place to put a KOBRA reflex sight and I can't find any mounts on any traders, is that normal for low levels like me?

[brisk mantle]

Maybe we can avoid allusions to beastiality in the future?

[brazen owl]

Or am I missing something?

[brisk mantle]

Thanks

[faint violet]

kek

[desert hull]

@brazen owl Which AK

and yes traders don't sell a lot at level 1 reputation

[brazen owl]

This AK

[feral gorge]

@brazen owl Which Cobra and what AK?

[brazen owl]

I actualy want to put any sight on it

[desert hull]

doesnt have a dovetail bracket

are you level 5 yet

[brazen owl]

How I see my level?

[desert hull]

in overall

[brazen owl]

I'm lvl 2

[desert hull]

oof

no way to mount a sight on that AK as of now

at your level

[brazen owl]

Oh ok thanks

[desert hull]

other AKs can mount the kobra

but they need the dovetail bracket

which looks like this...

[feral gorge]

@brazen owl Hm then yeah u cant rn, also don't use the kolpak.... Also don't use the Grach

[desert hull]

see that thing this guy is touching

above the trigger

[brazen owl]

Why not use kolpak and the grach?

[feral gorge]

@desert hull Ok lmfao don't need to crayon color it for people

[brazen owl]

Oh ok, dovetail

[desert hull]

crayola is life

@brazen owl kolpak hurts hearing and doesnt stop bullets

and grach is fine if you're doing budget pistol raids

not as a sidearm to a primary

[brazen owl]

I like turboclicker way of explaining stuff, better to be clear

[feral gorge]

@brazen owl Kolpak is trash it hurts hearing and is penned by literally anything. And Grach is just such shit accuracy and iron sights are soo fat it's useless. Better off selling for cash

[brazen owl]

But having a pistol for emergency is good, right?

[feral gorge]

I mean

I don't usually lol

30 rounds is enough to kill anyone

Usually with the right ammo

@brazen owl what you can do tho to put a sight on the Vepr is

Buy an Utimak gas tube from Skier and a Burris Fast Fire sight, (also the burris weaver base)

Since Cobra won't fit on Utimak

[feral gorge]

He can't

He is lvl2

No flea yet lol

[fickle kettle]

shet no flea

doesnt matter

go pro time

[median elbow]

what's the point of the emelya croutons? I dont get why they are so expensive

[solid gulch]

is the AP-20 the only shotgun round that mostly 1-taps

[median elbow]

it's just food right?

[lapis mauve]

Depends on armor

Ap-20 has best pen but any slug one taps if you have no armor

[solid gulch]

idk i am offline against scav hordes and maybe i can't hit shit

they do not go down

[lapis mauve]

Don’t hit arms

Or stomach

[solid gulch]

yeah might be my aim

[lapis mauve]

Slugs aren’t that accurate too

[feral gorge]

@median elbow You need them for a quest

For Jager

[median elbow]

ahh i see makes sense, thanks

@fickle kettle Thanks, I'll try that

[brisk mantle]

Alrighty, my game is started up and I'm fiddling with the settings. Any experienced or semi-experienced players feel like letting me tag along?

[fickle kettle]

what is your server

[errant snow]

If no-one is answering here, you can post in #pvp-lfg

[noble fog]

so it fort + altyn "the best"

ofcourse u cant use headphones but is it the best protection wise

[fickle kettle]

kinda

[feral gorge]

Killa helm > altyn protection wise tho

[noble fog]

ah thats right thank you

[feral gorge]

Also

Don't use Fort

Please

It's soo shit cause it makes you slower than a snail up a hill

If you really want class 6 armor use Zhuk-6A

[brisk mantle]

is there a brightness setting? everything looks so washed out...

[feral gorge]

@brisk mantle nope, I use Reshade or Nvdia Freestyle for color and brightness filters

[acoustic timber]

how do people get weapon cases so fasat

ffast

[lapis mauve]

Zhuk 6a breaks so fast. Imo lvl 6 armor isn’t worth the trade offs (unless you are rich)

[feral gorge]

Killa armor best imo

Repairs great and offers great protection

[lapis mauve]

Yes

[fickle kettle]

great mobility :waw:
