errant snow
#

You and Snu was uber helpful on interchange tips and stuff

robust jackal
#

❀️

errant snow
#

Actually making a small bit of cash now

strange mural
#

btw

#

is the map i made understandable

#

did you find techlight

errant snow
#

Yeah

strange mural
#

NICEU

waxen forge
#

GG @errant snow Glad you stuck to it.

strange mural
#

you just have to believe in the us that believes in you

tiny void
#

When wearing head armour for example, can you still get shot in the face without the helmet doing anything?

waxen forge
#

Yup

errant snow
#

The game kicks your butt until you understand how to take its punches

strange mural
#

its all about the mindset

tiny void
#

Ok so the game has dynamic hitboxes sort of thing?

strange mural
#

yep

#

same with armor

tiny void
#

Yeh ok

strange mural
#

some dont protect sides for example

waxen forge
#

I've been saved by helmets many times but the times I've died wearing very good helmets far outnumber the times a helmet has saved me.

strange mural
#

or stomach

robust jackal
#

@errant snow more like it kicks you in the butt till you like it

errant snow
#

Kinky

waxen forge
#

Also NEVER wear fireman or motorcycle helmets. Trash. Won't stop rounds and muffle hearing.

strange mural
#

tier three helmets are scav proof

#

and cheapo

robust jackal
#

happened only twice with me so far

undone hazel
#

is kolpak the motorcycle helmet?

errant snow
#

Prapor found my backpack todayprapor

robust jackal
#

@undone hazel yeah and it's useless

undone hazel
#

ah shit

strange mural
#

any bullet players use will penetrate t2 armor

errant snow
#

Leave it on the floor and wait for a player scav to come get it LOL

waxen forge
#

You can't hear with it on.

#

If I scav in with a motorcycle or fireman helmet first thing i do it drop it on the floor

strange mural
#

i havent had em in a while

#

i know the ssh-68 aint gut

#

but

#

its gut enuff for me

waxen forge
#

I also never run the Kiver. Yea it protects but muffles hearing so much. I'd rather hear.

undone hazel
#

buut when you use helmets with visors then they allways muffle hearing tho? or you judst get shot in the face and the helmet did nothing

#

whats a good lower level helmet i could use

errant snow
#

What do comtacs do

strange mural
#

they lower loud sounds

#

and increase quiet sounds

#

fucking forgot the word

#

active headphones?

waxen forge
#

You can run t he Fast MT or Airframe with visor and ears

#

Just run the penis helmet

strange mural
#

and thats why the fast's cost you 100k

#

ive been wondering

#

what IS the penis

#

ssh?

waxen forge
#

SSh-68

strange mural
#

yehh

errant snow
strange mural
#

is 6b47 the one you just lose your ears with?

#

i kinda like it as a upgraded version of ssh but...

waxen forge
#

No it's flared out around ears. Can wear sordins or whatever under it

strange mural
#

i watched veritas' video on comtacs but

#

cant remember anything

#

what was the general verdict

#

other than comtac good

waxen forge
#

They are all "good" some have more bass and some have more treble. Personal preference. No good vs. bad

strange mural
#

yee

#

anyway for solo comtacs is must

#

and apparently silencers are good QoL too

#

also do you repair with mechanic?

#

i mean weapons and better armors

trim pelican
#

anyone wanna q with us

errant snow
#

I'm in bed

trim pelican
#

ok

waxen forge
#

Don't really need to repair weapon yet. I never do. They do plan on adding weapon maintenance as a factor in the future. Nikita talked about it during the last stream.

errant snow
#

Need to nap

waxen forge
#

For armor if it's good armor I use Mechanic. If i'm running UN armor or some shit for a task I'll just repair it with prapor.

strange mural
#

i only used prapor so far but

#

it fucks the durability of armor

errant snow
#

Shoot someone's sight and it breaks sad

waxen forge
#

Ceramic like the 6B13 and such repairs poorly. I use mechanic to lose the least durability.

strange mural
#

yeah

waxen forge
#

But like I said lower armor I'm running for a task I just use prapor.

strange mural
#

i generally run 6b13 and the armored rig

#

insane value

#

how do i use the shooting range?

#

do i need to have power

errant snow
#

Need loads of upgrades

#

I think

strange mural
#

yeah i have it unlocked

#

cost me 500k dead

#

but i dont know how to use it

errant snow
#

I think you walk up to it

#

And your gun comes out

waxen forge
#

Yup

strange mural
#

ah there is a enter button

waxen forge
#

Whatever weapon you have on your pmc

strange mural
#

geez

#

ive just been using the

#

designer view

#

so

#

uhh

errant snow
#

Lol

waxen forge
#

Yea you can walk around in it.

errant snow
strange mural
#

i need to pay for my ammo like normal yes

#

does it lower weapon durability

#

can i train my skills in here

waxen forge
#

No. Ammo used in there doesn't consume ammo.

errant snow
#

Time for sleep sleep, nini and gl all

waxen forge
#

I assume it has no effect on durability either.

strange mural
#

nini waveU556

waxen forge
#

Later @errant snow

strange mural
#

a few questions about the archangel mosan

#

does it have a detacable mag

#

or is it just a single load 10 mag

bold kernel
#

When can I buy a beta container and from who?

waxen forge
#

Beta from Level 3 Peacekeeper

#

iirc the Archangel mosin stock allows for external mags.

crimson granite
#

I had second skav run with keycard, god damn i looted fast and yeeted out of that interchange

strange mural
#

yep

#

i usually bail whenever ihave that 200k+

#

als dont sell keycards gpus for less than the average bois

frank beacon
#

how the fuck do u save a gun preset mods

strange mural
#

you go into the modding window

#

and from there

#

in the left bottom corner

#

has a save button iirc

sour plume
#

when you're modding a gun there's a menu with options like new/open at the top left and one of them is "save as"

trim pelican
#

how much is a keycard worth

#

just sold one for 200k

sour plume
#

i always sell mine for 215k

marble latch
#

is it normal to have stash issues as a new player?

#

im lvl 8

bold kernel
#

yes

waxen forge
#

As in full?

#

Then yes

marble latch
#

like always full

waxen forge
#

It's normal to have all kinds of issues as a new player

#

STEEP learning curve

bold kernel
#

break down your guns? fill your vests and stack your bags?

serene raven
#

are u putting backpacks inside backpacks?

marble latch
#

I am yes

bold kernel
#

Then you should be fine selling the rest for money and space

marble latch
#

issue here is the space itself, I just don't have enough, 2 vests and shit is full lol

sour estuary
#

How does one get used to spotting in this game? I tried to headshot a guy while I was hid inside a bush, I missed the shot and he immediately spotted me and killed me

serene raven
#

put small stuff into ur vests

strange mural
#

keep your important stuff at the bottom

sour estuary
#

This game is fucking me hard

strange mural
#

take handles and mags off

#

sell everything you wont use

waxen forge
#

Small apartment vs. big house. At some point you have to have a yard sale and sell shit. Small apartment = yard sale more often.

serene raven
#

put all the small stuff inside vests thats what i used to do

bold kernel
#

bush cover can be misleading sometimes. legs might show more... or head. gotta be aware what your wearing and be deep enough that you struggle to see

sharp shell
#

@sour estuary a lot of it is listening for where the shot came from and looking for muzzle flashes

robust jackal
#

@sour estuary it's going to fuck you in the ass and make it you beg for more

marble latch
#

yeah I am purring stuff inside stuff already but still

strange mural
#

still, being prone is the best way to stay hidden, most of the time you cant be seen unless ~3m or so distance

#

i swear to god

#

some grass even is a full camo

waxen forge
#

Only option is to sell shit

sour estuary
#

So basically, hiding inside bushes is not the best option

sharp shell
#

Also if it was a scab then he could have killed u with a makarov in the dead of night

waxen forge
#

If you are saving task/hideout items then as soon as possible buy a Lucky Scav Junk Box from therapist Level 2.

bold kernel
#

mind you I just did a reserve run with low hp and a pick axe. made quarter mil. gear isn't a requirement.

sharp shell
#

Scav*

trim pelican
#

hatchling scum

waxen forge
#

I start collecting task items (and now Hideouts items) day 1 so I have them to turn in when the task is accepted or the Hideout module is available for upgrade.

sour estuary
#

Btw, is it normal to die a lot as a new player? I manage with my scav runs by sneaky breeky-ing to the extraction point. But my PMC runs are scuffed af

bold kernel
#

hideout and tasks are just long term goals ending in biggest secure case. There is no rush or requirement to horde.

marble latch
#

so how do you fight your lack of space? buying cases or increasing hideout stash?

bold kernel
#

Dieing is normal on tarkov.

waxen forge
#

You can do all of those but until then you have to sell stuff

#

No way around it

strange mural
#

dying is normal

#

forever

waxen forge
#

Can't make more space without doing Hideout to upgrade stash size or making $ to buy cases.

marble latch
#

any way to find how much money you have in the stash?

sour estuary
#

So...how to improve at this game if I keep on dying with my PMC? Do I have to stop being a pussy and investing in proper gear? Or I just have to keep on playing, no matter if I only do pistol runs?

waxen forge
#

Overall tab while in stash. Will show you Total value of stash

strange mural
#

train in offline mode

#

do scav runs

bold kernel
#

got eod my self so I got alot of cases. lucky scav junk box> ammocase> weaponcase> item case> mag case. And I got a pretty strong supply of Vepr hunters and vals for my self with a few cases for modding parts I like.

marble latch
#

@sour estuary my runs as a new player went up after I started investing in actually taking a helmet + vest and buying some proper ammo

#

that and stopped being a pussy, only do no-noise walks when you hear someone

#

moving slowly in tarkov = death

sour estuary
#

Hmm, then I have to change how I play, completely.

near merlin
#

i dont think playing slow is bad.

bold kernel
#

If that suits you... I am pretty slow and do well for it.

waxen forge
#

@sour estuary Best advice I can give new people is this RESET EXPECTATIONS. Are you good or decent at FPS. That's nice but doesn't matter here. This is Hard and has a STEEP learning curve. You won't get good soon. You will be brutalized. Learn maps, learn scav and PMC behavior. Learn what is good loot and what is trash. Learn when to fight, when to not fight, and how to listen.

strange mural
#

playing slow is fine too.

marble latch
#

yeah look back at your deaths and understand

strange mural
#

just dont stay stationary

marble latch
#

I play slowly, I just don't "no-noise" walk everywhere like I used to, just keep moving and catching people offguard, if you can't out aim and out shoot them, out play them

bold kernel
#

being slow vs changing positions after firing can be pretty different issues.

near merlin
#

well if only i have decent fps i it would be easier

robust jackal
#

Hid an bush close to Customs building and the train once

#

Had a guy basically stepping on me and didn't notice me

#

He healed and drank me at my side

torpid wraith
#

does activating hermetic door always spawn raiders?

shell verge
#

is 308 key worth a lot of money or no?

snow kite
waxen forge
#

Dorm or resort?

shell verge
#

@waxen forge 308 key is dorm key

waxen forge
#

It is also a resort key

#

Which one do you have?

#

Dorm key is pretty much worthless. Going for about 3K from Therapist and flea.

shell verge
#

what does the other one look like @waxen forge

waxen forge
#

308 East Shoreline Resort key is 90K on flea

#

And is a task key

shell verge
#

ok it the cheap one lol

waxen forge
#

Used in the Quest Cargo X - Part 1 when you don't have a East wing room 306 key
Used in the Quest Lend lease - Part 1 when you don't have a East wing room 306 key

hello guys im pretty new to tarkov, any one interested in raiding with me some giving me some helpfull tips and so on

waxen forge
#

Use the wiki when you find things. Just google the Item name and the word Tarkov at the end....Or bookmark the wiki

#

It'll tell you what each item is and if it's used for tasks or Hideouts.

strange mural
#

or use the wiki chat

waxen forge
#

Can then search on flea by item name

crimson granite

What is best ammo for saiga 9x19?

faint violet
#

I love that thing lmao

strange mural
#

shotguns are ineffective against armor

waxen forge
#

That's the 9mm with 10 round mags.

#

I'd recommend using anything else

faint violet
#

That’s why you shoot near the enemies force them to go into cardiac arrest then loot

vernal sinew
#

lol

#

can confirm, works

hidden meteor
#

what the fuck am i suppsoed to do

faint violet
#

Not die

#

Learn the map learn spawns

#

And loot

vernal sinew
#

what map should beginners start with ?

undone hazel
#

is the antique axe the thing with you can run really fast? or is it just with any melee weapon

#

customs @vernal sinew

waxen forge
#

Run faster with a pistol than anything

faint violet
#

Customs is fun lmao

waxen forge
#

Ax sell for about 28K to Fence

faint violet
#

I always die

waxen forge
#

No melee weapon is "good"

#

Use bullets

solid gulch
#

man i got a 15/15 surv12 but i think full they only go for 40k?

faint violet
#

Why can’t they add a .22 magnum weapon

crimson granite
#

You see ivan, if there is no wepon stock, the recoil will disperse in air and it will be easier to shoot

#

The wonders of skavs are beautifull

faint violet
#

Ah yes

rare summit
#

Is there any way to tell if a person is pmc or a scav?

#

like from a distance

faint violet
#

you just gotta learn

#

Either way shoot both

If you are a PMC it doesn't matter

ah

hey

I just got the game

but i keep getting lost 😦

faint violet

Anyone wanna do a raid in a bit?

rare summit

How do you team up with people?

vague wind
#

@ashen nest There are many maps online if you need them

ashen nest
#

I dont know how to extract or where to go

faint violet
#

add them as a friend

ashen nest
#

i tried, but i have no idea where anything is

faint violet
#

^

#

Relatable

desert hull
#

use a map from the wiki

grave root
desert hull
#

use landmarks to locate yourself

rare summit
#

the map from the wiki is great

grave root
#

thats the webiste with all the maps

ashen nest
#

ok, thanks!

#

So I basically just have to reach the extraction zone and it will take me out?/

faint violet
#

JT you tryna team?

vague wind
#

Yeah @ashen nest

grave root
#

correct @ashen nest

ashen nest
#

are there any maps you would recommend?

#

for beginners with easy landamarks?

faint violet
#

Customs

ashen nest
#

πŸ‘ thank you!

grave root
#

@ashen nest alot of people start with customs

ashen nest
#

ok

vague wind
#

Definitely customs

faint violet
#

Customs is fun with a toz

vague wind
#

Each part of the map is quite unique

grave root
#

also a bit of advice start doing tasks great xp because at lvl 15 is when the fun really starts =]

faint violet
#

really

ashen nest
#

ok, thank you!

faint violet
#

then ima finish this task for creepy old guy

grave root
#

yea you can get alot more weapons and mods are easy to get anddont pay flea market massive prices

Use the Wiki

ashen nest
#

ok, thank you all!

waxen forge
#

Find an item and want to know what it does/is? Use the wiki

#

Want to know how to do a task. Use the wiki

faint violet
#

I’m bouta buy a display port cable to set up a second monitor

waxen forge
#

Even people like me who have played for 2 years still use the wiki for tasks just because you forget parts.

ashen nest
#

ah

rare summit
#

finally survived first extraction lmao, didn't kill anyone though

grave root
#

@waxen forge 2nd that comment

faint violet
#

Better than dying

rare summit
#

yeah, did some damage too

waxen forge
#

If this were a puzzle game then using the wiki for task would be cheating. This is not a puzzle game.

#

Doing the task is the hard part. Knowing what to do is just intel

ashen nest
#

if i play as scav, are extractions any differnet?

vague wind
#

They can be

grave root
#

depends what map

vague wind
#

Usually the extracts are closer

#

*On customs atleast

ashen nest
#

customs

#

ah

grave root
#

that link i sent with all the maps has all extractions scavs and pmcs

faint violet
#

Do you get to keep the gear on your main if you live?

strange mural
#

customs isnt a good map for beginners but it has a lot of the beginner tasks

grave root
#

if u die as a scav your pmc is no effected

ashen nest
#

yea

vague wind
#

If youre scav, after raid you will be-able to transfer items over to your stash

grave root
#

yes

waxen forge
#

If you don't move it from scav body you don't get it

vague wind
#

It'll warn you

waxen forge
#

IF you scav you get what you start with and what you loot as long as you move it to stash

faint violet
#

Ok

vague wind
#

scav is an infinite profit run

grave root
#

also as a scav rember all other AI scavs wont shoot on site until you kill another scav

faint violet
#

anyone wanna run one with me I’m still learning the game

Lmao

do you have market?

spare juniper
#

When that happened to me I just took out guns as a PMC to get more loot, if I died it’s a win bc more space now if I survived it’s a win since more money made

crimson granite
#

Yeah I reached lvl 5 yesterday

spare juniper
#

Win-win

crimson granite
#

i try selling everything there but i want to level up traders too

strange mural
#

to save space on guns you want to keep

#

take out their mags and handles

waxen forge
#

Basic stuff should be sold to traders

strange mural
#

sell basic stuff to traders
but check the prices on market first

crimson granite
#

So sell all the wires bolts etc?

strange mural
#

right click to do search on it

feral gorge
#

@crimson granite keep them since you'll need em for hideout

waxen forge
#

Unless it's High end. Check flea price (lowest price) and compare to what trader pays. If it's close use trader. If it's substantially different (including tax to post it) then use flea

strange mural
#

so stuff like gpus and keycards sell for a high margin more on market

waxen forge
#

Don't overuse flea

crimson granite
#

why dont overuse flea?

waxen forge
#

But basic weapons and weapons part just sell to Skier then mechnaic

strange mural
#

its much more important to take that 5-10% loss and sell to traders

waxen forge
#

Because you need to spend to level traders.

strange mural
#

because you need to spend money on them

crimson granite
#

so basic weapons i shouldnt bother using flea market but rather use skier then mechanic?

waxen forge
#

You can only post 3 things at a time on flea anyway so IF the trader price is the same or better use Trader because you can sell dozens of items instantly and get paid instantly

#

Yes

#

I rarely sell any weapons on flea

#

I sell Task items and Hideout items on flea unless therapist pays the same or better.

#

I will sell broken armor on flea (if Skier won't buy it) because even if it's totally broken people on flea will buy it

true furnace
#

do i always insure my alpha pack>

#

?*

waxen forge
#

Melee and safe container cannot be looted

#

I never insure in stash

strange mural
#

you will always keep it and the stuff inside

waxen forge
#

I insure on way to Raid and I just hit Insure all each time

strange mural
#

as long as its in pouch slot

#

insuring gamma is 400k tho

waxen forge
#

Yup

strange mural
#

kinda hurtful

waxen forge
#

And I do it the first time I Insure and then can always just hit insure all each time which saves time

#

Never really go 1 by 1 insuring shit. No time for that

#

I never insure items while they are in stash. Just insure them before I take them out.

true furnace
#

so if i die with my alpha pack i wont let loose it even if i dont insure it?

waxen forge
#

Your ALPA and Melle CANNOT be looted

true furnace
#

i am noob thanls

#

thanks

waxen forge
#

If you DIE, quit, MIA

#

Nothing

#

Safe

strange mural
#

just making sure

#

weapon case can hold all attachments and weaposn yeah

#

i think i might need one

waxen forge
#

Yes

trim pelican
#

should i get the lucky scav junkbox

strange mural
#

if you want to hoard all of your hideout/quest items

#

yes

#

if you want to sell everything you loot and buy them as you need them

#

no

#

its a good storage solution but it isnt for me.

trim pelican
#

wtf someone just sold graphics card for 20k

#

fucking bots on the market

feral gorge
#

Reminder that if you go MIA you won't get any of your insurance

#

Also if you disconnect from a raid, any exp or skill points u leveled won't count

#

Death is better both than MIA and Disconnecting

frank beacon
#

disconnect from raid before you go MIA

feral gorge
#

Again insurance won't work afaik

bold kernel
#

wait where is it confirmed mia removes your insurance?

tight wyvern
#

YO if i kill a sacv if i a sacv will other sacv will try to kill me even i kill that sacv so far away ?

sand apex
#

It's not that it's removed, it's that your stuff is not in the map when the raid ends

bold kernel
#

it should be on your body...

feral gorge
#

@bold kernel every time I went MIA I never got insurance huh plus everyone else told me soo

sand apex
#

So, throw your insured stuff on the ground before time runs out and you'll get it

#

That's confirmed to work

feral gorge
#

Hm, I usually just grenade myself if I can't extract in time

sand apex
#

That works too, if you have one

feral gorge
#

Always KindaCowboyCat

waxen forge
#

@tight wyvern If you (as a scav) kill a scav then scavs in that area will be agro to you. The size of the area varies from map to map. However for example if you kill a scav at big red warehouse on customs scavs across the bridge won't be agro

#

This does not apply on factory as the map is so samll

#

*small

feral gorge
#

@waxen forge If he gets hit by a player scav first however and kills the person who shot him he'll be fine

sand apex
#

Scavs that spawn later won't aggro to you though, which can apply on factory

waxen forge
#

Corect

feral gorge
#

Pretty sure if there's at least 1 scav from the first wave all scavs afterwards will auto aggro?

trim pelican
#

lol 12k for a death

feral gorge
#

Just use grizzlies for post raid healing ez

tight wyvern
#

how to talk with sacv ?

strange mural
#

you dont really

#

double tap y for voice options tho

#

they are all in cyka

shadow cloud
#

So what's an easy way to make cash? I'm pretty low after a few unsuccessful raids

trim pelican
#

hatchling run dorms

desert hull
#

focus on surviving raids instead of making loot and getting kills

#

even if you don't get much loot, you still make much more than if you die

#

related, slow down your playstyle in general

waxen forge
#

Interchange tech and PC runs. Better than customs

trim pelican
#

interchange has more fuckers with big guns

waxen forge
#

Totally disagree

#

You can easily avoid them. Loot Ollie/Goshan PC's and if clear a couple tech stores

#

As far as loot on Customs you have to go to dorms

#

Dorms is usually busy and if Marked room has good loot you would need backpack and likely get killed by PMC going in or out.

#

Interchange money runs are easy 200K+ each time

trim pelican
#

yeah you are right

strange mural
#

still looking for that

#

3 gpu run

#

if an armoured rig starts with 30 dura, at what point does it become useless and should just be sold to a trader?

desert hull
#

@simple urchin so heres how this works, ye?

waxen forge
#

If it would only get back up to 16 or so repaired then I'd sell it

desert hull
#

the lower durability something is, the quicker it stops being able to block what its originally intended to block

topaz sorrel
#

I am new and need assistance

desert hull
#

and dura is universal

#

so just because that rig starts at 30

#

doesnt mean 30 is good

#

30 dura is 30 dura

waxen forge
#

So you can see Whole Discord

desert hull
#

so 30 dura rigs would only be effective for 1-3 bullets hitting it

#

and then they would generally stop blocking rounds

#

at least from what they were intended for

#

maybe lower caliber stuff would still bounce

buoyant flume
#

^ Good to know

desert hull
#

this also means that even though you might find a super good piece of armor

#

like class 5/6

#

it won't protect you if it's 0 dura or anywhere close to it

@sour estuary just keep practicing with scav runs

What's a good beginner map

trim pelican

depends

waxen forge

Customs has first tasks. It is big enough to move around but small enough to get PvP

trim pelican
#

i like customs

zealous swallow
#

I've been on customs mostly now doing scav runs

dense lotus
#

@modern steppe Hi, You won the doc case

waxen forge
#

Interchange would be next. It has a ton of task materials, hideout materials, and also a bunch of tasks

modern steppe
#

what fr

#

sicckkkk

zealous swallow
#

I thought customs already was pretty big

waxen forge
#

Other maps are bigger

zealous swallow
#

Even bigger nice

#

I'll try interchange

#

Next

waxen forge
#

You start tasks from Prapor and Therapist?

zealous swallow
#

Yes

waxen forge
#

If you are running customs as PMC may as well be on Prapor's tasks of killing

zealous swallow

I started them

#

I'm now just trying not to get killed haha

@zealous swallow they key to interchange is remembering the shop names and locations its key to the map

Okay

It's quite small i Can see

Easy to get some pvp

trim pelican

isnt docs case the tiny one

#

nvm

barren current

its bigger then you think with all the hiding spots....i have killed killa over 100 times this wipe so far

docs case is for keys,keycards, and money

Ah okay

playing there id start top and work my way down its always worked for me atleast

zealous swallow

Yes easier to get out

i want a sicc but its overpriced imo

@strange mural do you have the items for the trade?

its well worth having if you use it in raid

gonna sell it and buy a docs case.

also bought a weapons case

pull the grips and mags from your weapons and save some space

robust jackal
#

@faint violet tarkov troll me sometimes too

#

90% of the time i load fast

#

1/10 takes forever

zealous swallow
#

Do you sell all your stuff on flea market or also to the traders

#

Or only shit items to traders

barren current
#

highend items and trade/hideout items will sell for more on the market

waxen forge
#

Only to flea items that sell for more than a trader would pay.

#

Need to spend to level traders

barren current
#

accessories go to skier first....then hop to therapist....then mechanic that was the best order before to sell for profit to traders

waxen forge
#

Spend with traders

barren current
#

you can brake down weapons and make a little more selling the parts to skier and mechanic in some cases

zealous swallow

Cool

bold rampart
#

do i need a suppressor for cqb in factory?

waxen forge
#

You don't NEED a suppressor at all unless the mission calls for it.

#

You may want one when sniping or playing slow and tactical

#

For factory i'd say go loud

tribal rose
#

anyone got the 206 dorm key and want to go for a quick raid?

bold rampart
#

for cqb i thought location didnt matter as much as it does in maps like woods

#

and with better compensator than suppressors i can get lower recoil

#

@waxen forge tho doesnt suppressors make it harder for enemies to locate you

split vapor
#

ye

bold rampart
#

i see ppl tends to run towards gunshots

waxen forge
#

Suppressed not silent

#

On factory you can easily hear suppressors

bold rampart
#

yes but it still makes it harder to locate you

split vapor
#

Past 100 feet most large caliber suppressed weapons no one can hear it

waxen forge
#

Sure

bold rampart
#

yeah ik thats why i thought for cqb there is no use to suppressors

split vapor
#

factory with a suppressor makes it a bit more harder to track but its still easy

bold rampart
#

yeah its too enclosed and small

river vale
#

Do as val factory 😎

split vapor
#

val is best smg

bold rampart
#

can hardly imagine that sorry

split vapor
#

what

#

val

#

no recoil p good round

#

is a laser

bold rampart
#

but for maps like shoreline and woods suppressor is still a better choice?

split vapor

If you can afford one then yeah

bold rampart
#

yeah xd

Dont get shot

is smg or sbr better for factory

Val

bold rampart
#

ok besides val

split vapor
#

but the gear people run now you need some decent ammo compared to 9mm

#

youll need a an ak m4 fal

bold rampart
#

what about a mp7

split vapor
#

ye

#

mp7 fun

bold rampart
#

im thinking of either mp7 or m4/416

#

or both

split vapor
#

mp7 the subsonic ammo is decent but use the ap if you have access

bold rampart
#

i do

split vapor
#

then 856a1 or 995 if you have $$

frosty crown
#

is the mp5 any good? just traded in some knives for one

split vapor
#

mp5 is fun ngl

#

barely any recoil

waxen forge
#

It's good/fun but 9mm is going to hinder you

split vapor

I do a regular supressed mp5 over the sd one

bold rampart

idk man mp5 ammo is a little on the weaker side

mp7 is p with that ammo and firerate and recoil

mp5 you can just laser chest and head with ap63

what should i mod the mp5 with?

@frosty crown Weapon parts (sorry)

is 416 or m4 better for cqb

thanks lol

bold rampart
#

short barreled

wanton latch
#

omg thats so funny topKek

#

should focus on ergonomics for the mp5

vague wind
#

You are so welcome my buddy

wanton latch
#

its recoil is so low you dont need to lower it anymore

#

definitely reccomend a short sight like pk06 or a walther

frosty crown
#

im new to modding wepons so ive no clue what ur talkin about

wanton latch
#

or if u want medium range get an hhs sight

frosty crown
#

ive put a scope on a weapon and thats it lol

wanton latch
#

should probably google a guide

vague wind
#

I prefer the Holographic eotech to the pk-06 but thats my opinion

barren current
#

416 has rate or fire m4 is way more diverse to your to your liking by modding

#

its preference in the end imo

robust jackal
#

can you fit a silencer on the FAL?

split vapor

Si

#

You can use the 762 AAC MB and the AAC suppressor

wanton latch

pretty expensive though

split vapor

but it is the best

vague wind
#

Wheres a good place to get graphics card for farming part 4?

wanton latch
#

i dont even think its worth

barren current
#

its crazy worth it if you have the funds and get a few good profit raids out of it

wanton latch
#

i think u need as much recoil as possible on the fal

barren current
#

@vague wind interchange pc rooms and tech shops

split vapor
#

You shouldnt use full auto on a fal anyways

barren current
#

true u need max recoil for a full auto fal to come close to a stock m4 recoil in terms of how much kick the fal has in full

wanton latch
#

i full auto fal

#

pretty fun

barren current
#

thats like tossing money away imo

wanton latch
#

but u like need drum mags for it

#

its like

#

dropping people

#

instantly

barren current
#

takes abt 3 4 shots to drop anything

split vapor
#

All ??? exits you cant tell until you get there

#

but all exits without are always open

used to be

coming back soon tm

Im fed up with using ap-20, its so fucking inconsistent

split vapor

Some ?? you can tell if they open from a distance

how do i lvl up traders?

#

just trade with them?

split vapor
#

Like smugglers boat and RUAF checkpoint on customs

#

Buy and sell counts

wanton latch
#

yeah some of them are physical things

#

like the vehicle extracts

split vapor
#

truck there or not

wanton latch
#

but like

#

extracting pier is just not worth the risk anymore

barren current
#

flechette rounds will destroy anything at close range fort 6b is a two shot

wanton latch
#

putting urself into a fucking corner with no other escape on a 50/50 chance

vague wind
#

Seriously? Who told me to use ap-20 instead

compact aurora
#

i cannot, and i mean CANNOT figure hout how to kill scav boss on reserve, do not understand. lasers me no matter where i am

barren current
#

ap rounds are great with some distance

split vapor
#

buck rounds are techincally better because you can miss a few pellets in the shell and still do damage

wanton latch
#

ghutar is probably the hardest to solo

split vapor
#

over a slug which hit or miss

barren current
#

can two tap almost anything in most cases 3-4 shots to kill

vague wind
#

flechette does like no fucking damage tho

#

Never mind

#

i can't count

wanton latch
#

should just get a team @compact aurora

compact aurora
#

no friends

#

and i suck

wanton latch
#

u dont need friends for a team

barren current
#

you destroy the armor with it then the player its pretty good

vague wind
#

I was playing with a new friend of mine who just bought tarkov on the black friday sale, almost tk'd me as i was using a cms lol

#

he has a memory span of about 1 second

#

Alot less range on those flechettes though, not suitable for a map like customs

barren current
#

hence y i said up close

robust jackal
#

FAL modded for recoil is supah good

#

just spread havoc on customs

wanton latch
#

yes

barren current
#

it is but recoil still is horrible in full auto

wanton latch
#

its manageable if u build it correctly

barren current
#

i run a suppressed op sks
with pso and will destroy a full auto fal

wanton latch
#

then again im sure the dmr version of fal is much better

#

i mena thats just like

#

player related

barren current
#

tapping people twice with a 450$ bullet is much much cheaper

#

lets keep this super short but whats the most useful ingame items u guys could use with in reason of $$$

robust jackal
