halcyon pebble

That was patched

Yes

Kinda

And woods

frank beacon

#

shot from a dark corner every time 🤓

robust jackal
#

58% of the time i do

frank beacon
#

do you take actual gear

#

every time i take a nice gun in i get one tapped by some mosling in a corner somewhere through my thorax

narrow belfry
#

hah

#

our group of 3 entered factory

#

and all died from 1 taps

#

at least we were scavs

#

damn it

robust jackal
#

A lot

tiny void
#

when trading with traders, are the items for sale for everyone on the server?

#

like when the numbers go down is that other people buying from them

fickle kettle
#

trader + flea market are global

tiny void
#

ah ok

#

then the timer is when stock is replenished?

fickle kettle
#

mhm

robust jackal
#

and some profit on top of it

#

My stash gives me ptsd

halcyon pebble
#

me too, that looks bad

lean hollow
#

same

robust jackal
#

@halcyon pebble i did organize it lile 3 days ago

#

Gotta do it again

halcyon pebble
#

I organize it everytime I put loot in there.

robust jackal
#

Bullets still on the top as you can see

#

HA

#

I have a spare 105 and 303

#

Will just give it to someone here later

#

Not even worth selling it

#

Armored rigs are big brain for budget

#

I remember when my budget was 50k

#

Now it's 300k pog

halcyon pebble
#

what does this actually do? Will it put me in most populated server with lowest queue time or will it just select the server with lowest ping?

robust jackal
#

Next week gotta double that

#

Think it will try a good mix @halcyon pebble

#

Populated and decent ping

acoustic timber
#

i coulda fucking died

frank beacon
#

what

#

is tagged and cursed

halcyon pebble
#

wdym, ai scavs as in got a hit on you or as in camped there?

frank beacon
#

does that happen on online mode?

acoustic timber
#

yeah this is online

frank beacon
#

is that why scavs follow me around like dogs

acoustic timber
#

i went up to the scav

#

i just trimmed it

#

but i dont understand how i shoot him and he turns around and the very first bullet he fires is a direct headshot

hollow cobalt
#

i need hekps

#

just starteddddd

halcyon pebble
#

ah they do be like that. u were crouched as well.

hollow cobalt
#

i need a guideeee

acoustic timber
#

right when the very first bullet i shot

#

he turned and shot

#

and landed me in 2 points in my head

halcyon pebble
#

If u were standing it would most likely get ur thorax. For me they usually get hits on thorax, arms, rarely head, if I'm standing.

#

but he shot with shotty, if that was buckshot, u could have gotten hit everywhere.

robust jackal
#

Crouch is no good against them

#

Either prone or stand

#

But yeah

#

Ai has aimbots

#

Shoot your questions and we will do the possible to help

halcyon pebble
#

@acoustic timber just aim at head next time.

robust jackal
#

Also

hollow cobalt
#

@robust jackal can i play eft with you? i need some assisitacne or @halcyon pebble

robust jackal
#

You wearing a helmet?

#

Not playing RN

hollow cobalt
#

ok

robust jackal
#

Taking a break

#

Played the entire day

#

Haha

halcyon pebble
#

@hollow cobalt I'm trash. trying to grind pmc kills on shoreline atm.

robust jackal
#

@acoustic timber you were wearing a helmet?

#

You should have died there

#

Although i say that i survived two scav shots to the face in a row when i started

#

It was in woods

#

Penis helmet saves the day

hollow cobalt
#

ok

wary crypt
#

awww so furstrating. successful scav raid, under a minute left, thought i knew where extract was. walked RIGHT past it and kept going thinking it was further. timed out 😦

robust jackal
#

Also bold of you to go factory with a pistol

#

I go either there with some considerable gear or when i get a scav with a gud gun

halcyon pebble
#

factory scav runs are ez weapons tho.

robust jackal
#

Sad

#

Have a golden chocolate

#

Yeah usually do it when i get a half decent scav gun

#

Not when i got a pistol or toz

#

Haha

#

Thats for sure

acoustic timber
#

i should of put my face sheild on

#

but i didnt and still survived

#

straight up shot me in my head in the very first shot

robust jackal
#

Wich gun he had?

acoustic timber
#

idk

robust jackal
#

Also i see you just ran to the extracr after that

acoustic timber
#

but he did fuck up my kiver m

robust jackal
#

If it was a shotgun one pellet is survivable

hello?

faint violet
#

I’ve been having really good runs

#

I’ve finally memorized a map

shut lily
#

@weary onyx

faint violet
#

that’s pretty good I guess

weary onyx
#

I just got the game a couple days ago and am just playing for the first time after 3 hours of "beginner Videos" they are a joke. What about the rules?

shut lily
#

Get a blue name

weary onyx
#

what does that even mean?

#

the rules thing?

solid gulch
#

does an AK-104 count as an AKM

#

for purposes of the punisher

weary onyx
#

We really discriminationg based on the color of my name? lol

solid gulch
#

blue name means you've accepted the rules and can chat in other places or whatever

weary onyx
#

okay..Im new to discord.

solid gulch
#

you have a blue name now, welcome to the discord

weary onyx
#

Seems a little off.

faint violet
#

Welcome

solid gulch
#

you can now hop into lobbies to play with other people

weary onyx
#

okay, I really dont get whats going on with the bullet damage in this game

#

i one shot people with a pistol anmd lay 3 rounds of a shot gun point blank on someone with no helmet and they just laugh and kill me with a rifle

halcyon pebble
#

find a ammo chart with damage. what ammo you use is important.

What fuel do i put in my generator?

@solid gulch no the ak104 is not a akm anymore, only akm, akmn, akmns, akms count

#

Why do I always end raids with only two working limbs

frank beacon
#

because scavs love blowing arms and legs off

robust jackal
#

^

#

Tarkov teachs you limbs are overrated

#

Have pills and the 5 use splint

#

Cms kit

desert hull
#

remember when scavs used to aim for legs

#

and would instant black them across the map

lmao

simple urchin
#

wtf im at RUAF roadblock and it wont extract after the timer :/

#

30 secs left too :/

#

45 mins wasted

wicked goblet
#

For my task.. I need shotguns can I just buy them?

modern steppe
#

ya you can

#

if it doesnt say find in raid you can just buy it

bold kernel
#

I have over 1.5 mil is there anything that i need to have?

#

Or should i keep saving?

sour estuary
#

I have found a perfect video to instruct new players of how the game is

#

Enjoy

#

Also @bold kernel Get the scav junkbox from the flea market. If you have problems with your stash space, it'll be a godsend

bold kernel
#

Can you put anything inside of it?

#

that can fit*

sour estuary
#

It's a big stash where you can put the small shit you find in raids. Wires, cigarettes, tape, whatever

thick harness
#

So I'm using several backpacks to stack them and put items into but when I go to the dealers some dealers wont let me open them on the sell screen to get to the items.

steady pilot
#

cause you need to take them out

thick harness
#

Like skier buys attachments I have some attachments in a bag but cant open the bag

steady pilot
#

there is no work around

thick harness
#

RIP that's annoying

#

Thx

steady pilot
#

not really

sour estuary
#

The dealers buy only empty backpacks/vests

#

makes sense cause you don't want to sell shit by mistake

thick harness
#

Yea ik I'm trying to sell the attachments inside my bag not the bag

#

I just want to open it to sell the attachments

sour estuary
#

oh I get you, yeah I guess it's annoying. Still goes with the explanation to not let you sell shit by mistake

#

Does anyone know how to mod the MP-133 for Gunsmith Pt. 1? The instructions on the wiki aren't working.

zinc siren
#

best way to find a sherpa to help learn the game?

topaz grail
#

i have a question about servers. It says in the launcher Region is USA but then i am selecting Asia as my server. The launcher still says its USA is that normal?

robust jackal
#

Only asia selected?

desert hull
#

@silver hornet they work

#

you probably dont have the correct starting 133

robust jackal
#

^

desert hull
#

your 133 needs to be the exact same starting type as wiki

#

wiki says what they're basing the build off of

supple nest
#

I've heard of higher level players handing out secured pouches over 2x2 they dont need anymore to new players; is it okay to ask about it in this discord ?

desert hull
#

sure if you dont spam

silver hornet
#

@desert hull I had the same MP-133 you buy from Jaeger, and I followed the instructions for the "shopping list" on the wiki for it

#

It doesn't work, I tried it, and so did the person I'm talking to right now

#

I got it working by using a different muzzle brake

supple nest
#

Alright, I'm a lvl 6 player with an Alpha case, would there be anyone with spare pouches with a bigger capacity ?

desert hull
#

I have a beta

supple nest
#

I'd be looking for a beta if you're willing to sell it / trade it off 😉

desert hull
#

beta is 3x2

topaz grail
#

@robust jackal yes only asia

desert hull
#

can you provide 500k Roubles or 5k USD @supple nest

supple nest
#

sure thing

desert hull
#

Can you though

supple nest
#

I have 900k roubles

#

If it's possible to transfer in any possible way then yes I can

desert hull
#

we have to go in raid

#

and I'll just drop

supple nest
#

would putting it in flea market work as well ?

desert hull
#

no

supple nest
#

Alright, I'd rather avoid the risk so I'll wait til I can get lvl 4 peacekeep then

desert hull
#

all you do is spawn in and trade

#

you instantly get container

#

there is no risk of being shot by another squad if you just don't spend 5 minutes trading

silver hornet
#

As soon as you equip the Beta, you'll keep it even if you dire

#

die

supple nest
#

alright

#

You can add me as friend under the same name

frosty crown
#

what ammo do i use for the mozin>

solid gulch
#

i feel like scav on scav violence has gotten worse

marsh onyx
#

@robust jackal did i just loose like 2 pmcs in 30 min of each other? maybe, but now i dont have 3 back packs in each toher

#

and @frosty crown if you inspect the gun one of the things should tell you the caliber

#

i think its 7.62x54?

frosty crown
#

ik but arent there multiple ammo types

marsh onyx
#

oh yeah

#

uh if you go on the wiki or look it up there are guides on what ammo works best etc

#

I just did a Scav run in Interchange. IKEA office clearly looted, items missing on tables

#

Killed a Scav with a Pilgrim outside, apaprently just an AI scav that spawned with one

#

go back in, go "darn, I'll just check the PCs for graphics cards, maybe they didn't bother to search them", because some hatchetlings just run through and only grab visible stuff

#

One of the computers has a flash drive sticking out of it

#

RUN FOR THE EXIT SON

did 6 raids on customs yesterday and NOT A SINGLE RAID RESHALA HAS SPAWNED

Jfc I have gotten just destroyed all day...

#

Feels bad man

solid gulch
#

i don't know how but i killed a scav with a berkut and an MK3

#

and a FAL

#

i just wanted some damn spark plugs

silver hornet
#

I found a Scav with a fucking Belt rig today

ripe basin
#

So this rebel ice pick you need to extract on reserve, if I put it in my melee slot and die and someone loots it is it gone? I don't think I've ever lost a melee weapon on this game yet.

solid gulch
#

no

#

nobody can loot your melee weapon from you

#

which is why if you want to buy it, it's like 2 million rubles

deep bolt
#

anyone get a glitch where u launch the game and it freezes? i cant even close the game i have to reboot every time. ive been trying to launch for the last 40 minutes. please help if you can

desert hull
#

does this item do anything?

thick harness
#

Question about insurance. If you insure an item and someone else picks it up but dies and doesnt extract do you still get it back?

obtuse zephyr
#

Anyone willing to serpa me through prapors second quest?

faint violet
#

😩👌

#

Adar meme mod

#

Les get it

desert hull
#

@thick harness as long as somebody doesnt extract with it you still get it

#

even if they move it off your body

#

you can also use this to ditch items in a bush somewhere and take scav or players you've killed items

thick harness
#

Ok thanks the wording is kinda weird it says if its used by someone it wont be returned but wanted to check. Thx

What are custom's most common routes for PMCs?

faint violet
#

I see a lot at main bridge

main sky
#

Is the edge of darkness edition worth it?

#

I've got the standard edition

lofty plank
#

Where can I find sugar or chocolate ?

dim swan
#

EOD definitely worth it

lofty vortex
#

I find that I most commonly find sugar/chocolate in duffle bags

sweet sinew
#

what's the deal with the optional part of tasks? do you get more exp or anything for doing em

tender void
#

no

#

just you can go and find the keys to open taht quest there...or just buy the key from market

main sky
#

Also, what is the easiest way to earn money at the beginning, I used to do cheap pmc runs but they get more expensive now that you have to heal up between runs

tender void
#

it literally is optional

#

@main sky just liv

#

and you get money easy

#

scav runs also is free money

#

so run those more then.

lofty vortex
#

My personal recommendation is to run scavs and just play like a coward. You can pawn off your whole kit and get a decent bit from it

tender void
#

around 20k, then more if you get other loot.

#

again though, LIVE

main sky
#

What would be the best map to start with

tender void
#

scav in factory

#

....interchange

#

any map

#

cept woods

lofty plank
#

Where can I find sugar or chocolate ?

tender void
#

woods requires a kit for that mostly, shotty scavs into woods, is not the best idea, or smg scavs into woods so....avoid that

#

@lofty plank I find more in convenience stores

lofty plank
#

interchange ?

tender void
#

works

barren current
#

if anyone needs help feel free to add me i don't believe i am working tomorrow and can help out with whatever all day

brazen owl
#

I thought PMCs were supposed to spawn away from each other

lofty vortex
#

What map were you on

tender void
#

.....could have been too many PMC so they gave you close spawns

brazen owl
#

Customs

tender void
#

ye

#

there is NE spawns that are close, and also west side spawns that are close

fringe agate
#

you can cover alot of ground in a min.

knife-only PMC here I go...

faint violet
#

Just do a scav

On factory

livid merlin
#

Any Australian groups?

safe bridge
#

Okay, level 7 with a survival rate of less than 10% - is this game actually worth playing if you bought anything less than EOD?

zealous forge
#

I had a weird incident on customs where me and another player scav were half pretending to be ai and half preparing to fight

#

We parted ways but as I walked away I saw him stare at an ai for like 20 seconds then finally murder him with a mosin

#

Honestly the funniest shit

tender void
#

@safe bridge very yes

#

....just you need to git gud

brazen owl
#

knife-only PMC = success, got myself a gun even.
gun + paca + helmet PMC = die in 1 minute

safe bridge
#

Serious follow-up: How does one 'git gud' against people one can't see firing?

brazen owl
#

Camp more, Zip

#

And hide too

zealous forge
#

And better armor

#

My PMC runs at this point are either barebones or decked out

#

Not that I actually survive either most of the time

#

Gen 4 at the least

#

And bucket helm

lofty vortex
#

Sometimes it just happens that you get tapped by someone you cant see, but a lot of it comes from smashing your face into the metaphorical wall until you start to get a feel for things

safe bridge
#

Okay, so how badly am I being screwed running duos with my level 30 friend with his rule of 'he gets first loot'?

livid merlin
#

lol

safe bridge
#

Semi-rhetorical; I know I'm being massively screwed, even with the low-tier stuff.

lofty vortex
#

Depends, does he get first loot on people YOU kill, or first loot of just the areas you get into

safe bridge
#

First loot on whatever he gets to first, regardless of kill provenance.

lavish pike
#

i wouldn't play with that guy lol

mortal zephyr
#

looting your own kills is an unspoken rule

brazen owl
#

i share 100% with my friends

mortal zephyr
#

if he's looting your kills he doesnt play the way the rest of the community plays

brazen owl
#

everyone goes out with equal loots by the extract

#

we play as team so we better loot and profit as team

mortal zephyr
#

nothing is wrong with taking every last ounce of loot off of someone you solely killed

brazen owl
#

and thinking of 'sole' kill is sometimes a bad idea too

lofty vortex
#

Yeah ngl thats scummy behavior

brazen owl
#

as if you have a buddy, he probably covered you

#

so always look for teammates that share

lofty vortex
#

If my buddy that introduced me to the game did that I might have actually quit

thats how i "git gud"

Ok then get yourself a vepr 7.62

you can buy 30 round mags at flea market

#

play low and slow

safe bridge
#

Gotcha. What about armour?

brazen owl
#

Armor 3 upwards

#

Never less

#

Better get yourself some face cover too if you're getting shot by scav

safe bridge
#

Armor class 3 and up?

brazen owl
#

yea

lofty vortex
#

If you examine an armor it will tell you an armor class. The black Paca armor is class 2

safe bridge
#

Right, so it's the 'Armor class' value.

following me to this game

faint violet
#

Died for the first time in several runs

#

Lost my Adar

brazen owl
#

Damn, shotguns are really bad in this game against any armor

faint violet
#

Yep

brazen owl
#

Had to shoot a scav 6 times on his back

faint violet
#

Unless you got ap or .50bmg shells

brazen owl
#

Guy must've died of heart attack, not from the pellets itself

faint violet
#

Buy the .50bmg shells @brazen owl

brazen owl
#

i was a scav

faint violet
#

Ok

#

For future reference

brazen owl
#

ok ty, they pen armor?

half jackal
#

@desert hull que

faint violet
#

It’s a .50bmg

#

in a shotgun shell

brazen owl
#

but it shoots one .50bmg?

#

oh

faint violet
#

Yes

brazen owl
#

thats a punch

faint violet
#

One fmj.50

#

same as a m107

brazen owl
#

do you think that have much drop?

faint violet
#

Eh

#

Yes

#

When I used it it was close range

#

So

#

Wouldn’t know

#

But it does work

brazen owl
#

I have a hard time shooting people far away in this game

#

No idea of how much a bullet drops

#

I'm gonna start using tracers on the first bullet of a mag

#

Is that a good idea?

half jackal
#

so

#

bullets dont drop much

faint violet
#

^

#

Sniping is easy af

#

with the right weapons aka

half jackal
#

its realisticish bullet drop

faint violet
#

Sv98

#

mosin

half jackal
#

which means almost nothing until 200-300m

#

even then its not a ton

faint violet
#

i do want my Adar back

#

If I modded my Adar to look like an m4

#

Will they take it

lofty vortex
#

Did you insure it?

faint violet
#

Yes

half jackal
#

uh

faint violet
#

obviously

half jackal
#

depends on who kills you

faint violet
#

Some kitted guy

half jackal
#

If its a pscav or some nerd with a mosin/etc yes

brazen owl
#

i was using an AKM to try and shoot ppl far away

faint violet
#

Nerd with a mosin

lofty vortex
#

Also if it looks like an m4 they might take it for parts

faint violet
#

or an sks

half jackal
#

if its a guy kitted with gen4/modded m4, probably rip the sight off and leave the gun

faint violet
#

It has a 200mm barre

#

Why would they want it

#

lmoa

half jackal
#

selling it

#

or using it if they're broke

faint violet
#

fuck

#

Welp we will wait and see

brazen owl
#

I'm a noob, I take all guns that look cool

I get modded AK74M with 60 recoil/70 ergo for 150k

#

but ammo so expensive ><

faint violet
#

5.45 isn’t expensive

#

If you get cheap ammo

half jackal
#

cheap ammo sucks

#

33 pen

#

BS is 500/ea

wary crypt
#

yo i need assistance plss

faint violet
#

cheap ammo will do what you want @half jackal

wary crypt
#

ive unlocked the unknown room like 3 times now. i grabbed the documents and extracted. the documents no longer spawn for me. but the quest status just says "find the valuable hidden cargo" with "find the body" and "find the room" checked off

faint violet
#

Just have a fast trigger finger

lyric storm
#

Bruh it's so hard finding people on the Asian server

faint violet
#

Don’t pierce the armor

wary crypt
#

it doesnt have a complete button or idk wtf to do

faint violet
#

Completely fucking destroy it with fire rate

livid merlin
#

what fuel does the generator in the hideout use?

faint violet
#

The ones that burn

#

Idk

#

I’ve never actually picked up any fuel

#

Wiki might help

wary crypt
#

any body got ideas about my extortionist quest? the documents dont spawn anymore cause i already extracted with them but theres no turn in button

brazen owl
#

Whats the minimum durability for armor before going on a raid?

wary crypt
#

whatever youre comfortable with

brazen owl
#

1?

faint violet
#

Aka

#

NO

#

That’s horrible

lyric storm
#

Hey I lost my good stuff in one raid

#

Cool

brazen owl
#

Ok tell me a minimum at least then 😂

faint violet
#

3/4 or half of you’re comfortable with that

wary crypt
#

depends. if you hvae no money, then no armor.

faint violet
#

Preferable max

jovial zealot
#

30

faint violet
#

1 is literally someone spit on you armor break

brazen owl
#

I'm thinking of buying this 6B13 armor, lvl 4

faint violet
#

buy a paca

#

If you’re poor

wary crypt
#

there is no answer its all subjective to what youre willing to lose

faint violet
#

^

wary crypt
#

paca is a good poor choice

brazen owl
#

34 is good?

faint violet
#

no

#

It’s a budget option

#

That’s better than nothing

half jackal
#

PACA will only stop weak buckshot and pistol rounds

faint violet
#

and it’s relatively cheap

#

Better than nothing

brazen owl
#

Its because I dont have enough lvl to buy from Ragman

half jackal
#

yeah

brazen owl
#

A full one

half jackal
#

but dont expect to help with anything except scavs

brazen owl
#

So I'm looking for the best one on the flea market

half jackal
#

if you want amazing value

brazen owl
#

37.1?

half jackal
#

uhhh let me check

brazen owl
#

I think the max is 47

#

So 37 must be good, right?

half jackal
#

@brazen owl no

#

means its basically level 3

brazen owl
#

Hm ok

half jackal
#

wait let me find you

#

something

brazen owl
#

Found one that is 0/47

half jackal
#

no

brazen owl
#

I could repair it though

half jackal
#

repair will cost 30k and bring it down to 34ish

brazen owl
#

Oh ok

#

Thanks for telling

half jackal
#

its ceramic right?

livid merlin
#

where should i raid to hide stuff for the hideout?

brazen owl
#

😛

#

Lemme check

livid merlin
#

wires etc

half jackal
#

ceramic repairs horribly

brazen owl
#

Ceramic

#

Oh ok

#

Did not know about that

#

I'm a complete noob

#

Got a few raids only

half jackal
#

@livid merlin tech stores at Interchange or looting PCs

#

any map

main sky
#

Anyone know how long till the next wipe?

livid merlin
#

hmmmm issue is interchange extracting is difficult for me

half jackal
#

probably 4-6 months

sharp garden
#

anyone can help me with gunsmith part 8?

half jackal
#

Whats the problem?

sharp garden
#

I'm confused and videos on yt dont seem to help

half jackal
sharp garden
#

or maybe I'm dumb but I try looking closely and don't see what I'm doing wrong

livid merlin
#

should i scav or pmc then for interchange?

half jackal
#

either

livid merlin
#

ok

half jackal
#

learn where to loot with scav

obtuse pulsar
#

who should I be selling armor and helmets and backpacks to?

brazen owl
#

Faolon, maybe I should buy a tier 5 that is not full, so its actually tier 4?

half jackal
#

@obtuse pulsar ragman or flea market

brazen owl
#

Faolan*

half jackal
#

im checking real quick

obtuse pulsar
#

thanks faolan

brazen owl
#

sure, ty

half jackal
#

whats your budget?

#

@brazen owl

brazen owl
#

Well I have 1kk

#

I don't know about economics in this game yet

half jackal
#

Tactec is a great option imo

#

but if you're going for cheap armor

brazen owl
#

But I thought of getting a good armor so I don't die to some lucky scav on my back

#

But something I wouldn't mind losing

#

Maybe less than 100k is good

#

like, anything from 0 to 100k

half jackal
#

So my two suggestions are

#

Zhuk-3 Press armor from flea, as long as its 0/40-50

#

it repairs for ~15k and it repairs really well

faint violet
#

25 hours in game and the learning curve is almost gone

#

Gotta love it

half jackal
#

so its about 35-45k for level 3

#

or Tactec - its an armored rig

#

70k for level 5 armor

steady pilot
#

AVS rig and tactec are the most effecient armors you could buy right now

half jackal
#

and its also a rig

shrewd raven
steady pilot
#

buying a rig + armor is a meme

half jackal
#

they both repair really well

steady pilot
#

and poor investment

half jackal
#

Tactec OP

brazen owl
#

Tactec is the rig?

steady pilot
#

yes

brazen owl
half jackal
#

its an armored rig/platecarrier

steady pilot
#

tactec is a class 5 armored rig

faint violet
#

👁️

brazen owl
#

Oh nice

#

I like it

half jackal
#

buy one of the ones with 40 max durability

#

so you can repair

steady pilot
#

avs is a class 4 rig that covers stomach too and has a fuckton of space

half jackal
#

they also dont get looted by geared bois

#

since they're cheap and large

#

and take up rig/armor slot

brazen owl
#

avs, ok gonna look for that too

#

62K for a 0/50 AVS, good?

half jackal
#

uh I think AVS has worse repair

brazen owl
#

Or 63k for a 20.6/50 AVS?

faint violet
#

20.6

#

I can shit on that thing with a 9x19 and it Would break

steady pilot
#

doubt

brazen owl
#

@half jackal 50k for 7.3/40 TacTec

half jackal
#

do it

#

it costs 18-23k to repair

faint violet
#

@steady pilot do you doubt my power

steady pilot
#

you can buy the goldent tt pistol and do a fresh trade

half jackal
#

which means 70k for level 5 armor with the rig space of a 30k rig

steady pilot
#

for 40/40 tactec

half jackal
#

if you have level 3(?) rag

steady pilot
#

if trader lvl unlocked

half jackal
#

or is it level 2

faint violet
#

this is complicated

solid gulch
#

how much is a golden tt

faint violet
#

just buy paca and pray

half jackal
#

~65k

faint violet
#

lmao

#

my tips best

half jackal
#

tactec is so good

brazen owl
#

Hold on

half jackal
#

underrated

bold kernel
#

I need a person to hold my hand

brazen owl
#

I bought the 7.3/40 tactec

steady pilot
#

tactec saved my ass more times than i can count

faint violet
#

👁️

brazen owl
#

With who I should repair?

steady pilot
#

any class 5 armor is worth

half jackal
#

prapor

faint violet
#

prep or

steady pilot
#

just repair with prapor

faint violet
#

Autocorrect

steady pilot
#

no one else.

brazen owl
#

Ok

faint violet
#

ever

steady pilot
#

ever

half jackal
#

no

faint violet
#

ever?

steady pilot
#

ever.

half jackal
#

theres some situations

#

where mechanic is better

faint violet
#

No

steady pilot
#

no

faint violet
#

Never

half jackal
#

yes

brazen owl
#

38.9/38.9, total = around 75k

faint violet
#

💦

steady pilot
#

yup

faint violet
#

Yikes

obtuse pulsar
#

so even though I'm good at pubg and apex is it still ok for me to have no idea what I'm doing in this game? is that normal for people? or am I just bad LOL

steady pilot
#

just bad

#

git gud

obtuse pulsar
#

game is hard

steady pilot
#

high learning curve, not a cod kiddie game

half jackal
#

@obtuse pulsar laarge learning curve

lofty vortex
#

It takes a while to git gud

half jackal
#

since this game is less about aim and more about positioning and game sense

obtuse pulsar
#

spawned into factory with a pistol, immediately got gunned down by someone with a full auto

lofty vortex
#

I'm still bad tbh and I'm level 35

steady pilot
#

uhh aim is super important

#

lmao

half jackal
#

sure

#

but its nothing compared to game sense here

faint violet
#

@fresh abyss

#

Take a day to learn it

#

Just scav around

#

👌

brazen owl
#

Considering I would have bought a 25k triton + 50k armor lvl 4 (+repair), i think this was a fair trade

half jackal
#

cheaper for better armor level

#

huehue

faint violet
#

Heheh

brazen owl
#

Yep, thank you all

#

Now for another heart-pumping scav at factory

#

Actually, whats the best strategy for scav?

bold kernel
#

hey guys

#

I literally just downloaded the game

brazen owl
#

Looting guns or small stuff?

bold kernel
#

Any other new players here?

brazen owl
#

I'm new

bold kernel
#

Go back while you can lol

#

lol

#

I'm just looking to play with so me new people

#

and learn the game together

brazen owl
#

Read the rules @bold kernel

bold kernel
#

am i not allowed to do that here

brazen owl
#

but here for new players too so its cool

#

but ready the rules anyway

bold kernel
#

i just did

#

are you actually new?

brazen owl
#

Yes I am

#

Bought the game 2 days ago

#

Lot to learn

bold kernel
#

wanna play together?

brazen owl
#

I speak portuguese

bold kernel
#

i dont understand that language, soz

brazen owl
#

There are plenty of english-speaking players around here

bold kernel
#

I dont see that channel

brazen owl
bold kernel
#

yes

brazen owl
#

go for it

#

its like a quest, after you go for the rules channel it unlocks many more

#

there it is

bold kernel
#

gotcha now

#

thx

brazen owl
#

lol

silver hornet
#

@brazen owl To answer your question, as a Scav I often avoid combat as much as I can and go for the spots where I know there's loot

brazen owl
#

now that you have "read"

silver hornet
#

So I pretty much just go for the small loot, although guns are nice too

lofty vortex
#

A thing I did was start running customs and finding all the hidden caches

#

They're usually out of the way but you can find good stuff in them

brazen owl
#

Lol I njust died without hearing a shot in Factory

#

playing scav

silver hornet
#

Yeah I don't Scav run on factory

#

Customs, however, yeah

brazen owl
#

I have a hard time finding other PMCs as scav on custom

silver hornet
#

I usually hit up boilers, with the factory key spawn + two weapon boxes, also the computer van is super close

brazen owl
#

Hold on, lemme see where those places are

main sky
#

So I upgraded from standard to eod, how do i get the EOS stuff

silver hornet
#

I don't bother going for PMCs unless they're either actively seeking to kill me, or if I have a clean kill on my hands

lofty vortex
#

You should get a system message afaik

#

Its like getting an insurance return

brazen owl
#

Where is boilers, @silver hornet ?

silver hornet
#

@main sky As Arch said, system message. Servers are under some heavy load right now, so give it some time

#

Do you know where the "Factory Far Corner" extract is?

lofty vortex
#

The Black friday sale does that lol

brazen owl
#

Yes, cincinattus

#

I've been using this map

silver hornet
#

It's the warehouse closest

brazen owl
#

Next to ZB-1011?

silver hornet
#

See the small block where ZB-1011 is? It's the bigger block- yep

brazen owl
#

So there's a key that spawns there?

lyric storm
#

Bruh how tf do the scav ai work

lofty vortex
#

Oh dang thats a nice map, Im gonna have to steal that one

silver hornet
#

There's some good loot to be had in there. Dead Scav (found fuel conditioner on him once), and the rare chance for Factory Key in the lockers in the middle of that warehouse

lyric storm
#

I didn't aggro them while I was playing as a scav and they one tapped me

silver hornet
#

There's also two big weapon crates on the boilers themselves

#

Did you kill a Scav at all that run?

lyric storm
#

No

silver hornet
#

Player Scav, right?

lofty vortex
#

You might have been killed by one of scav bosses guards if it wasnt a player scav

lyric storm
#

Movement didn't look like one

brazen owl
#

Oh I know that, the dead scav at the couch

#

Skyline were you playing as PMC?

lyric storm
#

I was also coming back to a place I just looted

silver hornet
#

Scav bosses, Scav boss guards, and raiders kill PScavs

lyric storm
#

Which means I knew the scavs

#

All I did was loot the dead PMC next to him

silver hornet
#

Weird

#

By the way, barrel stashes are fucking neat

lyric storm
#

Bruh I'm so angry

#

Got my first sv-98

brazen owl
#

Yeah they are

#

I have a route for stashes run:

lyric storm
#

And a ak-105

silver hornet
#

Found a fuel conditioner there lol

silver hornet
#

The only barrel stash I can find is the one by Milbase CP

brazen owl
#

Doesnt matter which place I spawn, I usually take that route

lofty vortex
#

My slightly more experienced friend calls them garbage but I've found pressure gauges, the expensive sealing foam, thermometers, fuel conditioners, and other nice stuff in them

brazen owl
#

Well on ZB-1011 theres one under the pipe behind it

#

Really easy to spot

#

Save this image, cincinattus:

lofty vortex
#

Thats the one I've been using to find them

brazen owl
#

yeah its great

#

I use them and the route i made on that map

silver hornet
#

Best stuff I've found on them is fuel conditioners

brazen owl
#

My only problem right now is knowing what is valuable and what is not

lofty vortex
#

Yeah, that just comes with time

silver hornet
#

That map is way better than the one I saw

gritty cape
#

@lyric storm you're in luck. sv98's arent that expensive. ive seen some for about 40k

cerulean cape
#

How's shoreline without keys? Could technically buy em all but meh, wanting loot run other than labs

gritty cape
#

also you can trade for one with prapor lvl 2 i believe

#

@cerulean cape i think its fine for scavenging

half jackal
#

interchange will be more profitable

cerulean cape
#

Hm K, so stick with reserves lol

gritty cape
#

interchange is definitely a money maker

half jackal
#

only appeal of shoreline rn is ledx spawns and pvp, otherwise IC/Reserve

lofty vortex
#

I definitely find interchange better when you dont have keys.

cerulean cape
#

Need to get a decent ic route, hear it's good but never have near as much luck as I did in labs

half jackal
#

Just run oli/tech stores

gritty cape
#

I found a 700k key in terminal near resort, nice find

half jackal
#

500-900k/run

gritty cape
#

ez pz

silver hornet
#

I really don't like running Interchange

cerulean cape
#

Most my oc runs are scav where everything's been looted lol

silver hornet
#

way too fucking dark for my tastes

lofty vortex
#

The store across from the locked medical room also has good stuff

cerulean cape
#

I'm starting to love ic night time though

lyric storm
#

Bruh I can't even make money because if how poor I am

cerulean cape
#

Debating if I should snag kiba keys as well

gritty cape
#

interchange is scary but so fun. i got my first player kills on interchange haha

lyric storm
#

I just run around with a hatchet

cerulean cape
#

Do scav runs

lyric storm
#

Keep dying as well

#

I'm not the best shooter

cerulean cape
#

Might snag kiba keys and try dif interchange routes

gritty cape
#

@cerulean cape have you gotten the condensed milk?

cerulean cape
#

For what?

gritty cape
#

the kiba key

cerulean cape
#

Nah, planned just buying on flea

lofty vortex
#

You get one of the kiba keys from doing the gunsmith questline

gritty cape
#

you need 2 keys i think

cerulean cape
#

Money isn't a real issue, have 18m,just want a better money maker now that I'm done w/ labs since ledx are cheap now

#

Yeah you do

gritty cape
#

so lvl 4 therapist and the gunsmith line will give you the quest

lofty vortex
#

You get the grate door key from the gunsmith questline

#

The other one might be in your interest to just flea market

gritty cape
#

sounds good to me. its a gun store down the hall from two stores that can contain high price items

cerulean cape
#

Ye but I can buy em ezpz. And if doing lots of ic no reason not to

gritty cape
#

will you be running interchange a lot?

lofty vortex
#

Gunsmith is easy xp though

cerulean cape
#

I mean decent amount, the keys are only like 1.5m iirc

half jackal
#

Kiba isnt worth it

#

rn

#

maybe 100-160k/run

gritty cape
#

why not faolan?

#

oh

half jackal
#

oli - even after its been looted - is easily 200-300k

brazen owl
#

Does "breach" works on a door? I have tried on so many doors and it never works

#

And I also see no one using it

half jackal
#

only on certain doors

gritty cape
#

no

lofty vortex
#

Breaching only works on select doors

gritty cape
#

oh neat

half jackal
#

its planned that it will actually work as intended

lofty vortex
#

Generally speaking most doors won't

half jackal
#

same with lockpicking iirc

#

you also have to breach in the direction the door opens

#

cant break a door off its hinges

gritty cape
#

yeah dont be kicking everything down, youll be making lots of noise and little progress

half jackal
#

so right now its useless

cerulean cape
#

Aight no kiba then. Just budget vepr every run on ic with no armor or helmet lul. Way cheaper than labs runs

half jackal
#

spend 40k on a big bag

#

and sstuff it

#

also levels strength

cerulean cape
#

Ah true bag. Berkut op

lofty vortex
#

Vepr hunters are always good, vepr akms are good if you're shooting unarmored targets

#

I leveled strength by beating the hell out of a friend

cerulean cape
#

Vepr akm is a monster regardless, hit head and it's great, even w/ ps ammo if ur super cheap

gritty cape
#

i just found the key for office 112, blue keycard here i come

faint violet
#

Can I level up strength by drop kicking my friend

lofty vortex
#

You can melee them while they heal

#

Its slow as hell but so is every other method

faint violet
#

Why be strong

#

When you can place shots at 300m with an Adar

#

No one said I’ll hit

lofty vortex
#

You need level 3 strength for a hideout upgrade...

#

Thats it.

faint violet
#

🤡

#

Hideout schmideout

lofty vortex
#

But muh bitcoin farm

faint violet
#

Hmmmm

#

Ok

#

Jesus has given you permission

#

To injure your friends

brazen owl
#

Ok I got myself a keycard somewhere

#

Should I sell it?

#

200k

lofty vortex
#

Like, a lab access keycard?

brazen owl
#

this thingo

#

successful scav run

lofty vortex
#

Personally I recommend selling it until you get a VERY good feel for the game. Labs has tougher scavs in it.

brazen owl
#

I dont plan on playing labs soon

#

Still learning customs

#

so yep, 200k in

lofty vortex
#

Its good early money

brazen owl
#

yeah

#

i've been using my money to buy guns armor and bags to gain more money, is that a good use or should i upgrade my hideout?

lofty vortex
#

Only the early hideout upgrades cost flat cash, later ones will require parts

brazen owl
#

should i save those parts?

#

i got the early upgrades

lofty vortex
#

My logic is hideout upgrades dont go away, but you can lose guns and armor

#

Especially if you have the basic version of the game because those stash size upgrades are critical

brazen owl
#

Hm, I'll look forward to that then

#

Thanks

#

Wipes dont erase my hideout?

lofty vortex
#

Wipes probably will

#

Most likely, actually. They're brand new so I can't say for 100% sure

faint violet
#

Why do wipes exist

lofty vortex
#

For the sake of testing progression

#

This is still early access lol

faint violet
#

I don’t wanna lose my 10 toz

lofty vortex
#

There wont be another wipe for a long time

faint violet
#

💦

brazen owl
#

Whenever I'm lucky to find a PMC fooling around I'm unlucky to only have a pistol

faint violet
#

Pistol

#

Shoot head

#

Profit

brazen owl
#

click buttons, profit

neat spruce
#

Shotguns with slugs are deadly. So much fun!

lofty vortex
#

My personal favorite is grizzly slugs because if they're not wearing armor they just fall over dead

#

Very good for killing shturman

marble blade
#

at least scav shotguns cannot hit anything beyond 10m

lofty vortex
#

I've run into a few shotgun scavs packing slugs

#

They can totally snipe you

simple urchin
#

trying to give ragman these pilgrim bags but because i have other bags stacked into one of the pilgrims i have, the quest is bugging out

#

gave in 3 pilgrims already and still shows as 0 handed in
(edit: reloading game shows them as handed in)

obsidian eagle
#

looking for a hand on customs if anyone is available, do i need a key for room 206?

lofty vortex
#

I think so? let me take a look

obsidian eagle
#

actually i do have the key, but is anyone with decent experience able to run with me

bold kernel
#

@obsidian eagle you need the 206 key if you are doing the water quest for therapist

obsidian eagle
#

i have a few of the keys

#

also, found the bronze pocket watch in the truck last night, but not in my inventory. how do i complete the quest?

lofty vortex
#

Quest items like that go into a special quest inventory

#

You just go to the quest giver and you should see a "turn in" button

obsidian eagle
#

neither are there

#

something even popped up in bottom right when i found the watch.

bold kernel
#

you died in the raid then

#

if you die, you lose it

obsidian eagle
#

hmmmm

#

maybe i did

bold kernel
#

if you live and extract, and go back in before turning it in, and die, you lose it

lofty vortex
#

So when you're inventory, go to the tasks tab at the top. If its not in the inventory on the right you dont have it

obsidian eagle
#

cant remember now, died too many times lol

#

ok

brazen owl
#

Guys where can I find the key to open the locked doors of Custom's Gas Station?

lofty vortex
#

I found those keys in the backpacks of scavs\

#

They're called cabinet key and "the key to the gas station storage room"

brazen owl
#

Killing scavs is the only way to find them, besides selling?

#

buying*

obsidian eagle
#

says can be found as loose loot

next ruin
#

Any noobs want a shoreline run all to themselves?

lofty vortex
#

I haven't found them sitting anywhere, just saying thats how I found them

next ruin
#

US server

obsidian eagle
#

i havent even played shoreline yet

#

i may be a little too noob for you

#

or are you an in-game god? @next ruin lol

glacial jay
#

id be down to try a shoreline but i havent played on it either

brazen owl
#

Ok I just got killed by a player scav as soon as I spawned

#

=/

lofty vortex
#

I feel like the time that player scavs enter needs adjustment. Especially on interchange

naive tusk
#

Nah

#

Found 2 graphics cards in oli in a scav raid

brazen owl
#

@steady pilot what ammo should I use on the ADAR?

#

Considering the same idea of using 7.62 BP as you said yesterday

strange mural
#

Bo

#

Bp

#

Wait no

obsidian eagle
#

m995?

#

isnt that the best 556?

strange mural
#

995

#

But its expeensiv

lofty vortex
#

If you want to buy it right from a trader, m855 from peacekeeper but its not armor piercing

#

M995 is the armor piercing ammo

strange mural
#

Basically 995 is the way to go
