which makes the map hard

[faint violet]

5.56

I forgot the case length

uh

[mossy vine]

Risk it for a biscuit in custom

S

[faint violet]

5.56x45

[stone surge]

Imho shoreline and interchange are the easiest to make money and avoid fights. But especially interchange has a learning curve to it, because of the diverse amount of paths you can take

[mossy vine]

Interchange night scav

[faint violet]

For what gun

[mossy vine]

Ez loot

[faint violet]

Yeeto

[vagrant mirage]

adar 2-15

[faint violet]

Mod it out

It’s defend close range

Decent*

[stone surge]

beginning players are absolutely daunted by interchange when they played it, but it's super good once you understand the map. And customs, I absolutely hate it, even after having played it a ton of times.

[vagrant mirage]

so not that great on customs?

[faint violet]

eh

It’s fine

It’s just not accurate by any stretch

buy decent ammo get some 30-40 round mags

[frosty plinth]

Personally hate customs as well

[faint violet]

No point in insuring if you die your mags are gone

[vagrant mirage]

why do people say factory is hard for beginners? I played like 20 games and factory and 20 games on customs and on factory I got out more than half the times with decent loot but not a single time on customs

[stone surge]

40 round mags are bad

[faint violet]

it’s cqb

A lot of people

[fair bobcat]

I mean u have to do your task at customs

[vagrant mirage]

cqb?

[bold kernel]

close quarter battle I guess

[stone surge]

@fair bobcat True. And this is the reason why beginning players play customs and wanna learn it, because they're forced to do it for quests 😛

[bold kernel]

is there anything good on customs other than dorms?

[stone surge]

Red container and gas station

that's about it and the obvious factory buildings

it's honestly a really bad map for loot

[faint violet]

sniping scavs at the big red building

[stone surge]

especially if you do not have keys for dorms, in that case it's god awful

[faint violet]

Finding mosin

[vagrant mirage]

what map should I learn if I dont want to play customs as beginner?

[stone surge]

Interchange 100%

[bold kernel]

yeah.. inter for sure

that map is still overwhelming for me

[stone surge]

it's arguebly the most fun, scary map (you'll be scared shitless in the mall due to the sounds etc)

[bold kernel]

yep

[stone surge]

but easy to avoid fights

and it's really dyanmic as in

there's a TON of ways to go from A to B

unlike customs

also, if you face an enemy, you can litterly run and hide without him being able to track you

[ruby sedge]

Interchange and shoreline are 2 good beginner maps

Just advoid the health resort until your comfortable

[frosty plinth]

I also really like woods, it's where I was most successful as starting. There aren't a ton of loot spawns but if you move quickly from one to the next, pop a few scavs, you can get out with some money/gear

[stone surge]

The village on shoreline is super underrated

I highly recommend it for loot

[bold kernel]

god I suck at woods

[ruby sedge]

Agreed

[stone surge]

almost never face players there and you can get nails, car batteries, fuel conditioner there

[ruby sedge]

The shoreline villages are chock full of hideout loot

[stone surge]

exactly

and 50% of the map will go for resort anyways

if not more

[bold kernel]

yeah but

[ruby sedge]

Pick up some easy scav kills and chill and loot

[bold kernel]

my fps there

is like.. really bad

[ruby sedge]

Have you messed around with your settings much?

[stone surge]

Maybe tune settings, I'm usually at 130-150+ fps

[bold kernel]

30-40 fps drop on shoreline especially villages

[ruby sedge]

Oof

[bold kernel]

I'm running 1440p 144hz

[stone surge]

ahhh yikes 😛

[faint violet]

I’m always 50fps even tho I got a decent rig

At 1080p

[ruby sedge]

OOF

50 fps is not ok :/

[faint violet]

Must be this fucking engine bro

[bold kernel]

so at shoreline it drops to 70

I even had 60

[stone surge]

1440p 144hz is kinda a gimmick imho

[bold kernel]

it isnt though

[stone surge]

almost no games go for 120+ fps on 1440p monitor

[faint violet]

I get 100fps plus on forza games and they way more demanding that tarkov

[stone surge]

unless it's like league or csgo

[ruby sedge]

Uhhhh

[bold kernel]

not on ultra, thats for sure

[ruby sedge]

It depends on your gear entirely

Lol..

[stone surge]

well, him having 30fps in villages

says enough

😛

[faint violet]

Yikes

[ruby sedge]

I have a mid high tower and 144 fps is easily achievable in most gamea

[faint violet]

What’s your specs

[bold kernel]

I said

30 fps less

than usual :p

[stone surge]

@ruby sedge but do you have 1440p?

1080p and 1440p is a massive difference

[bold kernel]

so around 70

[faint violet]

I got an i5-2400 and a rx-560 4gb and 8gb of ram

[bold kernel]

9700k and 1080Ti here

[faint violet]

It’s a nice rig but I’m just guessing tarkov is poorly optimized

[ruby sedge]

Yes @stone surge

1080 time with i7 8700 I get my 144 on alot of games

1080 ti*

Even if alot of games cap at 120 that's still a big difference

[faint violet]

I’m bouta upgrade to a 4770k and a rx590 soon

[stone surge]

tarkov is pretty optimized tbh, ppl push quite high fps. Although there's the ocasional lagspike which happens quite often

[faint violet]

My game hangs like 4 times in a row

Every like 10 minutes

[stone surge]

yh i believe there's some tricks to reduce it

[ruby sedge]

Could be over heating

[stone surge]

such as the high dpi whatever setting

[frosty plinth]

@faint violet make sure you're restarting it for memory leaks

[faint violet]

Ok

Over heating

[ruby sedge]

.12 made a big diff in performance though

[faint violet]

Chief

[ruby sedge]

I went from 90 to 120

[faint violet]

My shit is cool as a cucumber

40c on cpu and 50c on gpu

[ruby sedge]

Key word, could

[faint violet]

Decent overclock

Ok

But yeah restart

Got it

[lyric storm]

Bruh you guys playing on cool pcs while I'm here playing on a laptop

Fuggen tarkov on a laptop

[faint violet]

[rocky ocean]

@lyric storm same here

[faint violet]

pc is cheap af

[lyric storm]

But in like a week's time I can finally flex

[rocky ocean]

Was just about to ask if its good to play offline mode only till i get a pc

[lyric storm]

Spent 2k building a pc

[faint violet]

I’m buying an ssd next week

6 min loading times killing me

[lyric storm]

Bruh what specs

Offline mode won't get you stuff

[rocky ocean]

I have a acer predator 17

[lyric storm]

It's like a free trial version

[rocky ocean]

[lyric storm]

I have an almost built finish pc

Just need to wait for the power supply and WiFi adapter to ship through

[faint violet]

run wired...

[lyric storm]

Nah

Not enough sockets

And wires

[faint violet]

what

[lyric storm]

After the pc comes online tarkov will be a breeze

[faint violet]

Just run a Ethernet cable to your modem

[lyric storm]

I do

[faint violet]

continue doing that

Don’t buy a WiFi chip

The hell

do you tho your money and shit

👌

[lyric storm]

Kinda bought it alr

Like a few days ago

[faint violet]

Oof

Then have it as a backup lmao

[lyric storm]

Ah it was 50 bucks

[faint violet]

.-.

[lyric storm]

Anyways

[faint violet]

f

that was

Nice.

[ruby sedge]

heading home, drawing a blank on what gear to rock

any ideas boys?

[potent atlas]

what lvl are you

[ruby sedge]

oh im lvl 35 and money is no problem

[potent atlas]

oh

[ruby sedge]

just thought itd be interesting to hear some suggestions

[potent atlas]

idk reserve is decent if u have keys

[ruby sedge]

i said gear :p

[potent atlas]

m4a1 or ak 74

with killa chest

and any helm

[ruby sedge]

not a bad loadout, been using aks all wipe

ak's

[robust jackal]

74U?

[lyric storm]

Load saiga with slugs

Ebic time

[ruby sedge]

not aks cause its dogshit

[robust jackal]

really dislike that ak

yeah

kicks like a bitch

and it sucks

overall

[ruby sedge]

silenced slug saiga with drum mag

sounds like a fun time

[noble flower]

Do you get your stuff back on insurance if you dont make it out in time?

[ruby sedge]

yeah

[rocky ocean]

@faint violet i7-6700 2.6ghz

[faint violet]

Why is the clock so low

[rocky ocean]

hq

[faint violet]

There

Ok

[rocky ocean]

was default

[faint violet]

That makes sense

[rocky ocean]

acer predator 17

[faint violet]

Enable ultimate performance mode as a power plan

[lyric storm]

Laptop nibbas

[rocky ocean]

had some cooling issues dunno if overclocking would be good

[faint violet]

I can send you the command prompt thing to enable it

oh

Ok

[lyric storm]

I'm getting a huge upgrade anyways

Ryzen r5 3600

[rocky ocean]

but i have 64gb ram xDDD

[lyric storm]

Ebic time

Bruh why do you have 64Gb

[rocky ocean]

xdd

was default in it

[lyric storm]

How tf

[ruby sedge]

Yeah that's a bit excessive

[faint violet]

what the fuck

[ruby sedge]

For sure

[lyric storm]

That's way overkill

[faint violet]

Send some here I have 1333mhz ddr3

[ruby sedge]

32 most of the time is overkill lol

[lyric storm]

16 is already more than enough

[faint violet]

mhm

[ruby sedge]

Yeah I'm rocking 16

[faint violet]

I got 8

[lyric storm]

Most people probably have 16

[faint violet]

I’m trading a nvme ssd to pcie X4 adapter for a SATA ssd

[ruby sedge]

16 gig 3400 mhz

[faint violet]

Les get it boys

[ruby sedge]

Feelsgood

[faint violet]

loading times are both to be sexy

[lyric storm]

Isn't Nvme better

[faint violet]

I don’t have a nvme ssd

I have a b+m key ssd

Meaning it’s a x2 sata

[lyric storm]

Oh

Sed

[faint violet]

I’m finally getting an ssd

[lyric storm]

I have a 1 TB ssd in my pc rn

[faint violet]

suck my tits

Stop flexing

[lyric storm]

Eat my pants

[faint violet]

😩👌

[ruby sedge]

Yeah I've got a 1g ssd :p

[rocky ocean]

@faint violet is there a big difference between best performance and ultra performance?

[lyric storm]

That's not even my biggest flex

[faint violet]

yes

Ultimate performance atleast for me

[ruby sedge]

💪

[lyric storm]

My biggest flex is the gpu

[faint violet]

Let’s be boost to 10-20mhz above my max

me*

And it keeps my cpu at max clock so I don’t get performance drops

[lyric storm]

Inb4 heat issues

[faint violet]

🤡

Buy a pc

Buy a 212 plus or eco

[lyric storm]

Fam

[faint violet]

Evo*

[lyric storm]

I'm building my own pc

I alr said it just now

[faint violet]

Ik

[rocky ocean]

im also thinking about heat issues

[faint violet]

just

What’s your pcs manufacturer

laptop

[lyric storm]

Bruh whenever I touch the right side of my laptop when I'm playing some graphically demanding game

[faint violet]

It may have a control thing for fans

[lyric storm]

It burns like hell

[faint violet]

Umm where you can ramp them up

[lyric storm]

Mines Lenovo

[faint violet]

right click your desktop

[bold kernel]

#community-support

[lyric storm]

Been with me for almost 2 years

[faint violet]

Like your wallpaper

And then screenshot it to me

[lyric storm]

Dmed ya

[fair bobcat]

This game is crazy boys

I learned alot in these 2 hours of playing

Btw what I have to do when my leg is black

I tried to use splint but it didn't work

[bold kernel]

cms or pain killer for temp movement

[faint violet]

pain killer for your guy screaming every step

[rocky ocean]

how can i enable ultra performance i can only see "balance" power plan or "high performance" im pretty sure that i had it on ultra performance once

would it be wise to overclock the laptop?

[faint violet]

Want me to send you the command

you enable it via command prompt

[rocky ocean]

powercfg -duplicatescheme ......... ?

[solar jungle]

@fair bobcat If you want we can go on Quebec channel if you have questions or anything

[faint violet]

holdup I gotchu

powercfg -duplicatescheme e9a42b02-d5df-448d-aa00-03f14749eb61

Put it in command prompt

[ruby sedge]

Inb4 his laptop catches fire

[faint violet]

Lmao

He’s fine

probably

Ultimate performance just keeps the cpu pinged at max clock

[fierce saffron]

My first real succesful raid did I make out ok? I'm only lvl 7

There was another ak i should have gotten for the sks but was really stressed lol

[solar jungle]

If anybody needs some help with game mechanics or gameplay or how things work jump on Foxtrot channel

[rocky ocean]

@ruby sedge i have a cooling pad 😄

switched to ultimate performance thanks

[faint violet]

np b

[desert hull]

@fierce saffron lmao

first successful raid and you take everyone's AKs

[fierce saffron]

dude

[desert hull]

like a bandit

[fierce saffron]

I go up to 3 story dorms on customs

[rich cloak]

@fierce saffron that's a reall solid run good job!

[fierce saffron]

go to second floor

and tehre is a dude looting down the hallway

[noble flower]

lol me and a mate went into factory with low gear, me with a 153 shotgun with flechette and my mate with a glock18c 50 round mags of ap 6.3. Immedietly ran into two fully geared guys, Zabralo and gen4 full, airframe helmets. p90's big BP's and a total of 15 p90 magazines

[fierce saffron]

just tapped him with my SKS

and went and looted him

[desert hull]

he killed rashala and his guards it seems

[fierce saffron]

had all that shit on him

[noble flower]

never got this much profit in 5 minutes

[fierce saffron]

How much profit?

[desert hull]

yeah you got very lucky

[fierce saffron]

Is that

[faint violet]

Ak bandit

[desert hull]

he did all the work killing Rashala and his 4 guards

[fierce saffron]

haha

[desert hull]

you snuck in afterwards and killed him

[fierce saffron]

I left a bunch there

I just wanted to get out

[rich cloak]

Killed myself with a grenade today after defeating 2 two man squads

[fierce saffron]

I'm going to sell it all

[desert hull]

I mean thats at least 300-400k

the AKs to mechanic are like 70-80k

[fierce saffron]

cuss i'm not comfortable playing with that type of gear yet

[faint violet]

I ricochet a bullet to my head

[fierce saffron]

going to keep doing SKS and lower tier armor to get comfortable with the maps

[faint violet]

Thank god I have a kiver

had*

[fierce saffron]

I'm on the pocket watch quest tho

[rich cloak]

Was contemplating to do the same irl

[desert hull]

SKS with PS ammo is still decent

[faint violet]

^

[fierce saffron]

that's why I went to the dorms to get the key for the tanker and that dude was there with all the loot

[desert hull]

for wanting to just get out

[rich cloak]

@fierce saffron instead of suing a sks I recommend the vepr vpo 7.62 or the akm

[desert hull]

you sure spent your time collecting every AK in that building

[fierce saffron]

NO NO

he had them on him

in his pilgrim already

[desert hull]

I mean you still went over there curious to loot

[native drum]

@faint violet Is ultimate performance worth it?

[rich cloak]

I'm at a stash value of rougjl 18k now and I fucking love the akm

[fierce saffron]

Yea of course

[desert hull]

SKS is good though

[rich cloak]

Why the fuck would he not

[desert hull]

SKS and Vepr KM are about as good as each other

[faint violet]

@native drum

Depending

[desert hull]

for different reasons

[rich cloak]

@desert hull amk is a literal upgrade to sks

[faint violet]

Do you need that extra 5%

[desert hull]

AKM is not comparable

[faint violet]

Or even less

[rich cloak]

?

How so?

[desert hull]

it's a less finesse fully automatic assault rifle

SKS is a self loading rifle

[rich cloak]

It's a budget 7.62 primary with the added benefit of automatic fire and bigger mags

[desert hull]

That's not all a gun is about

they're completely different platforms

the AKM is a full upgrade to the Vepr KM

but not the SKS

[rich cloak]

I understand what you are saying

[fierce saffron]

Where do I get the AKM from

[rich cloak]

Flea

[fierce saffron]

and the mags for it

[faint violet]

Flea

[desert hull]

Are you level 5 yet?

[fierce saffron]

yea

[hazy zinc]

Raids lol

[desert hull]

you said 7 right?

[fierce saffron]

I'm 7

[desert hull]

It's a semi-common gun to find in raids

[rich cloak]

Flea or prapor

[fierce saffron]

Trying to learn customs

[faint violet]

hi 7 I’m dad

[desert hull]

and they're fairly cheap on the flea market

[fierce saffron]

Kk

[rich cloak]

Akms works too but is a bit worse due to the stock

[desert hull]

I'd stick to Vepr KM though

[fierce saffron]

Uses same PS ammo yea?

[desert hull]

if you're dying a lot

its a semi automatic AKM

[analog walrus]

what are gp coins used for? can i just sell it or will i need it eventually?

[rich cloak]

Yeah it's the same gun but not full auto

[fierce saffron]

VEPR / AKM / SKS I'll try them all out and see which one I like

[desert hull]

trade to mechanic for modded guns or sell for 40k on flea @analog walrus

[faint violet]

Sks is a good spam

lmao

[desert hull]

Vepr is simply a cheap AKM that cant go full auto

[faint violet]

Panic spam

[desert hull]

AKM is a more expensive gun with full auto option

[analog walrus]

@desert hull tyvm

[desert hull]

remember you're shooting 7.62x39 though so full auto might take some getting used to

[rich cloak]

"expensive"

[desert hull]

It's like 10k more

16-26k

sizable increase

[fierce saffron]

So all these aks

[rich cloak]

Don't ever ads while using full auto

[rocky ocean]

how do i know which mods fit into which weapons?

[fierce saffron]

and body armor / faceshield helmet, where do I sell em

[desert hull]

20k-33k right now

[rich cloak]

@rocky ocean right click on your desired gun and go to "linked search"

[desert hull]

if you get the AKMS it's 23k though

[faint violet]

Imagine not having the control to full auto ads

[desert hull]

so only 3k for the AKMS upgrade

[rich cloak]

It will show you all available mods that can fit on that gun

[split vapor]

folding stock is just worse

[rich cloak]

But only the gun itself

@faint violet it's just not really usefull

[humble thorn]

If playing a scav on factory. Do you guys shoot other scavs?

I feel like if I don't shoot other scavs player scavs just shoot me.

[desert hull]

look at this ass ugly gun I got off somebody

[rich cloak]

@desert hull that's money my dude

[faint violet]

Why m4 when you can Adar

[desert hull]

@humble thorn 100% shoot other player scavs if you don't want to take the roulette spin of death on if a pscav won't shoot you or not

[faint violet]

Adar is literally a baby m4

[rich cloak]

I love the adar

[desert hull]

AI scavs you can choose to shoot or not

@faint violet because they're not used the same way

[humble thorn]

@desert hull I guess I haven't learned how player scavs move and react

[desert hull]

ADAR is simply a shit M4

it's not just a semi auto locked M4

[faint violet]

It is tho

[rich cloak]

When you take a scav to factory kill everything @humble thorn

[faint violet]

Literally

[desert hull]

the M4 in semi is still miles better than the ADAR in semi

it aint

its a shittily made M4

[faint violet]

are you calling colt parts shit

Angry American noises

[desert hull]

I'm calling the 80 dura bug shit

which makes the accuracy about 2x worse in radius than the M4

[faint violet]

I modified mine to place shots neatly at 100m

[rich cloak]

I have not encountered that yet

[faint violet]

atleast for me

[desert hull]

you didnt

thats not possible

[faint violet]

I died tho

[desert hull]

unless dura bug is fixed

[faint violet]

I can hit those

My g

[rich cloak]

I hardly used adar in this wipe

[faint violet]

I use cheap ammo so they run away

[desert hull]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/521626362251837451/650839551199412255/unknown-63.png

[faint violet]

Lies

Adar is just a m4 in development

It can do the same thing

[desert hull]

adar accuracy is the faint circle

[faint violet]

To me it makes 0 difference since I always semi auto

[desert hull]

I am talking about simply accuracy

[faint violet]

That’s perfectly fine

[vagrant mirage]

how do I know whigh sight goes what weapon?

[faint violet]

500m shots with an Adar is just fucking stupid

[rocky ocean]

are there any beginner weapons?

[faint violet]

Adar

[desert hull]

at 100m your shot placement is already larger than a humans head

[faint violet]

Vepr

aim for body then

[native drum]

Anyone that can tell me some youtubers that have good videos to learn tarkov 😄

[desert hull]

aiming for body is fine if you have good ammo

listen ADAR is a fine gun to use right

[vagrant mirage]

how do I know whigh sight goes what weapon?

[desert hull]

but its still not anywhere comparable to M4

[faint violet]

@native drum operator Drewski I guess

[ruby sedge]

u guys are really going to argue aboue a gun when theres like 3 newbies askiing for help

smh

[desert hull]

@native drum veritas, deadlyslob, pestily

[faint violet]

Yo

[desert hull]

not necessarily in that order

[rocky ocean]

i shot a scav on body and it felt like it took 10 bullets or so 😮

[faint violet]

Bm

[desert hull]

all 3 are good though

[faint violet]

I’ve been helping that guy for a while

So shush

[analog walrus]

@native drum jessekazam has a good beginner series ive been watching

[desert hull]

@ruby sedge u rly gonna feed that argument when theres 3 newbies asking for help smh

[lyric storm]

Bruh I just went scav in factory and pulled of some good stuff

[faint violet]

factory scav is fun ad

[desert hull]

@vagrant mirage linked search the part the sight would go on

now thats hard to figure out for some people

but basically a sight cant just go onto a smooth surface

[faint violet]

Cobra is a good sight

[desert hull]

it needs some sort of mount

[lyric storm]

Now I just need to manage my very cramped stash

[ruby sedge]

looks like it worked :]

[faint violet]

...

[rocky ocean]

i found a mount and a sight but couldnt put it on my aksu

[desert hull]

@ruby sedge I had already finished the debate and moved on broski

[faint violet]

But in the end I’m always gonna prefer the Adar

[native drum]

Thanks guys 😄

[desert hull]

[vagrant mirage]

@desert hull so you mean linked search the whole gun?

[desert hull]

@vagrant mirage sometimes yes

[faint violet]

thanks for the input on the m4

I’ll look into it

[desert hull]

sometimes you need to link search the dust cover

or another part

one second

so M4s come with a picatinny rail standard

[vagrant mirage]

i cant linked search on specific parts of the gun

[faint violet]

ooh

[desert hull]

as you can see

[faint violet]

cobra sight in there

[desert hull]

you can just see that that gun will allow a sight visually

[faint violet]

😩👌

[desert hull]

VSS on the other hand

(and im just using guns in my stash to show this)

doesnt have an obvious spot to put a sight

[split vapor]

dovetail

[faint violet]

don’t it mount a pso1

[desert hull]

linked searching the gun gives you this

these can fit natively onto the gun

[faint violet]

I made my Adar look like a chopped ar15

[desert hull]

because they hook into the dovetail mount on the side

[vagrant mirage]

only this for some reason @desert hull

[desert hull]

if you want a sight not on that list, you need a mount that uses that dovetail

[rocky ocean]

ahhhh i cant use the flea market 😦

to link search

[faint violet]

level up man

[desert hull]

@vagrant mirage yes because the "adar" part of the gun is only the lower receiver

[lyric storm]

You need to be lvl 5 i think

[desert hull]

so you need to link search the part the sight would theoretically go on

[faint violet]

so if I put a new Lower on it

[desert hull]

that being the upper receiver in this case

[faint violet]

I can get full auto

[rocky ocean]

i would play it more if it would run better 😦

[faint violet]

Since the upper is a standard ar15 I think

[desert hull]

@faint violet no, if you take all the parts off and put them on an M4 receiver

[lyric storm]

I sold a lab keycard to one of the guys here and he gave me tier 4 armour and tier 3 helmet

[split vapor]

just buy an m4 at that point

[desert hull]

you're not replacing the receiver

you're moving all of the parts to a new receiver

[faint violet]

Ok

[desert hull]

because the "gun" is the lower receiver

if that makes sense

[faint violet]

Cause I dumped 200k on an Adar

[lyric storm]

Bruh

[desert hull]

but ye m4 lowers are like 20k

[faint violet]

I’ll look into an m4 when I get home

[desert hull]

so if you want an m4 just buy a m4 lower

and move everything to it

[faint violet]

Ok

[split vapor]

just buy an m4

[lyric storm]

Why don't you just buy an M4

[faint violet]

Poo

[bold kernel]

fax

[faint violet]

No fun in that

[split vapor]

its cheaper and stats better

[desert hull]

if he's modding from the ground up

100% smarter to buy just a lower

[lyric storm]

Full auto is fun

[rich cloak]

M4 with the adar wood furniture is about 10 times as likely to come back from insurance

[split vapor]

m4 lower, mur upper

370mm barrel

[vagrant mirage]

thanks bro

[ruby sedge]

= laser beam

[desert hull]

@vagrant mirage did you figure it out?

[rich cloak]

Besm

[ruby sedge]

Is that some weird fetish I dont know about

[faint violet]

I also trying to profit so I don’t want to lose an m4

[vagrant mirage]

ye I looked for the upper part

[rich cloak]

Come find out

[faint violet]

🤡

[desert hull]

ye you have to do that with M4s/ADARs and HK416s

[rich cloak]

@faint violet than don't use one

[desert hull]

because their "gun" is the lower

not the upper

[ruby sedge]

[desert hull]

AKs you can just linked search the gun

because their base is the entire receiver

[faint violet]

I’ll just stick to adars until I get over 1m

[desert hull]

though if they dont have dovetails you need to mount the sight either on the rearsight of the gun or on the handguard

with what ammo @faint violet

[faint violet]

Cheap

[desert hull]

yes which

[rich cloak]

M856a1 is the best budget ammo imo

[faint violet]

cheapest

[desert hull]

cause if you're using anything shittier than 856A1

oh boy

[faint violet]

Look on flea

[rich cloak]

Don't just go for cheapest

[ruby sedge]

M856a1 never go lower

[desert hull]

yeah, knock that shit off

you're spending 200k on a gun that couldn't penetrate paca

[faint violet]

I get kills with it tho

[ruby sedge]

M855 is so bad it's not even funny

[faint violet]

I just need half the mag

[desert hull]

yes

[rich cloak]

Your gun does not matter when you use shitter ammo

[desert hull]

so instead of investing into shiny scopes and handguards

invest into ammo

[faint violet]

ok

[desert hull]

I suggest m856a1

[faint violet]

What does it improve

[desert hull]

still cheap enough but much more effective

penetration

[faint violet]

Over ap

[rich cloak]

The whole game revolves around the ammo you use

[ruby sedge]

We need a quick gif of someone magdumping m855 into a helmet then getting 1 tapped

[desert hull]

M855, what youre using

is extremely shit pen

[faint violet]

ok

[desert hull]

its worse than like, 4 9mm bullets

for reference

[rich cloak]

You might as well use ap9mm ammo

[faint violet]

And also

[desert hull]

some 9x18 is better

[faint violet]

how do I stop dropping mags

I have space

[desert hull]

stop double tapping R

[ruby sedge]

Dont spam reload

[faint violet]

I just drop them for whatever reason

[rich cloak]

@faint violet don't double press r

[faint violet]

I press r

once

[desert hull]

you're doing one or the other unintentionally

[rich cloak]

Is your rig full?

[faint violet]

never

[desert hull]

either you don't have space in your rig for the old mag

[ruby sedge]

You need a extra inventory slot for mag

[rich cloak]

Yeah

[desert hull]

or you're double tapping R

[ruby sedge]

A full empty one

[desert hull]

only way you lose mags

[rich cloak]

I had the same issue for a while

[faint violet]

ok

So better ammo

Ok

When my Adar comes back from insurance

[desert hull]

will help you way more than attachments

[worldly snow]

hi there im new to the game can anyone pls explain me how this works? i tried playing pmc and scav but it ended up badly tbh xD

[faint violet]

I’ll get the a1

[desert hull]

gotta ask more specific questions @worldly snow

[rich cloak]

@worldly snow play a bunch of offline raids to learn the maps

[ruby sedge]

sure kezu , first #news-setup and #521628660298678283

[rich cloak]

After that stay vigilant and try to extract.

[desert hull]

@faint violet

[faint violet]

I just 55 hp

[rich cloak]

There's no different advice I can give

[split vapor]

55hp oh no

[faint violet]

use*

[desert hull]

55 hp is hollow point

so uhh

[rich cloak]

Oh God

[faint violet]

Oh fuck

[desert hull]

0 armor pen

[faint violet]

yeah

[desert hull]

high af damage

[rich cloak]

Huehuehue

[faint violet]

hue

[desert hull]

but you need to hit exposed parts to kill

[rich cloak]

If you leg meta people with it they are okayish

[faint violet]

I need to invest in green tips and fucking murder people

[split vapor]

855 cheap irl

i need more

[rich cloak]

Is it?

[split vapor]

kinda

[rich cloak]

What do you pay per bullet roughly?

(I have no concept of Ammo prices irl)

[desert hull]

@faint violet

[vagrant mirage]

why do people pay for stuff like horse figurines on the flea market?

[desert hull]

your bullet versus the one we're suggesting

[rich cloak]

@vagrant mirage quests and batters

[desert hull]

6 less damage on 856a1

but look at the difference in penetration on the right

[vagrant mirage]

batters?

[desert hull]

that is class 1-6 armor

[steady pendant]

for my standard gun i buy a 20k ak like ak74 and get a pws, rk2,and a good stock

[rich cloak]

*barters

[desert hull]

and the likelyhood from 1-6 that the bullet pen

[faint violet]

Ok

[desert hull]

@steady pendant pws is really expensive

[faint violet]

So on class 6 I’m going to have to just crack it open

[split vapor]

just use m80

[steady pendant]

its good

[rich cloak]

@vagrant mirage trades with traders that require specific items

[steady pendant]

you can use a cheaper one

[rich cloak]

@split vapor Kappa

[desert hull]

I'd get a DTK instead

@steady pendant

[steady pendant]

but i have the pws unlockdd for trader so its slightly cheaper

[desert hull]

if you're lightly modding a gun like that you probably want to not try to min/max

[rich cloak]

Just use your mellee to safe ammo

[last orbit]

I miss all my shots with SV98, do I need a rear sight even tho I have a 6x scope?

[desert hull]

its still 10.2k versus 5k

[rich cloak]

@last orbit no

[faint violet]

sv98

Is laser beam

[desert hull]

@last orbit you are probably zero'd wrong

and the gun has a trigger delay apparently

[faint violet]

How do you miss

[steady pendant]

i dont mind for the recoul reduc

[rich cloak]

Yeah it's super accurate

[desert hull]

so you might be shooting when you don't mean to

[last orbit]

i just shot a scav 20 times with SNB ammo, 50 zeroing and he's around 100m away, tried shooting different heights

[rich cloak]

So

[steady pendant]

ak ends up costing like 40-50k with low recoil

[rich cloak]

You shot at 100m

[desert hull]

could be desync

[rocky ocean]

@faint violet the game runs alot better now !!! 😄

[stone surge]

I wouldn't use zeroing in this game, just try to aim above them

[split vapor]

snb trash

[rich cloak]

With a 50 zero?

[split vapor]

please dont use it

[desert hull]

@rich cloak thats not how guns work if you were wondering

[rich cloak]

@split vapor preach

[desert hull]

50m zero still hits the same exact spot for 200m

[faint violet]

@rocky ocean I’m glad

[ruby sedge]

7n1 is much better

[last orbit]

yes @rich cloak , i tried aiming for chest, head, above head, even more above head

[rich cloak]

Oh wow really?

[split vapor]

and you should zero its p easy

[desert hull]

yes thats not how guns work lol

[last orbit]

maybe there's something not rendering inbetween us?

[desert hull]

possibly

that does hpapen

[split vapor]

snb only does like 70 damage

[rich cloak]

I didn't know the difference is that neglible

[desert hull]

yeah use 7n1

[split vapor]

chad 80hp chest wins

[desert hull]

instead of SNB

[vagrant mirage]

bruh what a great scope

[last orbit]

7n1, got it

[steady pendant]

whos got a good model for fully modded ak

[desert hull]

7n1 can still one tap chest

[split vapor]

get a new gasblock

[desert hull]

SNB cannot

[split vapor]

7n1 86 damage>80 hp chest

[desert hull]

@vagrant mirage you need to buy a low profile gas block

[rich cloak]

@steady pendant akm is really solid statwise

[desert hull]

the front sight on stock M4s acts as the gas block for the gun

buy the "low profile Mk12"

[faint violet]

^

[rich cloak]

Or the rail gasblock

[rich cloak]

Whatever one is cheaper

[desert hull]

can also just cheat and get a riser

so the scope is above the front sight

but idk how the cost works out for that

[faint violet]

don’t a better gas block improve the gun

[rich cloak]

@desert hull how much does zeroing affect my aim?

[desert hull]

a fair bit

[steady pendant]

when you spend like 100k on adar just to lose it..

[rich cloak]

@faint violet depends on what you use

[desert hull]

if you're zero'd at like 200m at 10m

[faint violet]

ok

[desert hull]

that can cause you to miss

but zeroing at 50m when shooting at 100m is still going to keep an accurate shot

[rich cloak]

Huh

[split vapor]

zeroring just helps you aim at range

[desert hull]

remember that 50m zero is the normal zero

[rich cloak]

Yeah

[desert hull]

meaning the gun shoots 100% straight

and just drops as it flies

the bullet

[rich cloak]

@dull coral #pvp-lfg

[desert hull]

if you zero higher than that you're raising the scope's picture to compensate for drop

so that can cause you to miss up close

[faint violet]

Sv98 point and click period

That’s on god

[desert hull]

I suggest just keeping snipers on 50m

[faint violet]

^

[desert hull]

until you're actually getting a far shot

[rich cloak]

Im never sure how hard bullet drop is in tarkov

[desert hull]

it's not a fat amount like battlefield

but it;s still an unrealistic amount

depends on gun and caliber

[split vapor]

https://streamable.com/sk8k8
zeroing is great

[rich cloak]

I usually just go a bit higher than where I aim at

[desert hull]

@split vapor but you aimed up anyway

[split vapor]

yeah

[desert hull]

zero harder

HARDER

[split vapor]

cause its 470 on a 300m zero

scopes dont zero past 300

[desert hull]

aint it funny how in tarkov you can zero for 300m

and still have to aim two bodys length above somebody

to hit him at 470m

[ruby sedge]

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

the ammo i used in hideout is gone in raid

just noticed

i have like no fucking ammo for my mp7

[desert hull]

get scammed

idiot

[split vapor]

ammo isnt used but okay

[desert hull]

no but that sucks

if tru

[ruby sedge]

ill save my shadowplay

if u dont believe me

[tight elm]

Anyway to reduce cooldown on scav? Also what is the best way to improve pmc healing off raid?

[split vapor]

upgrade hideout

[faint violet]

Improve hideout

[split vapor]

intel center

[faint violet]

Or just stock up on ai2

[desert hull]

grizzly is actually best post-raid med

fyi

[faint violet]

Ai2

I have like 14

I need to use them

[desert hull]

ye

but grizzly most economical

[faint violet]

epico

I have one grizzly

[tight elm]

How do I get grizzly? I'm really new, just started. Sorry if the question is stupid

[lyric storm]

I have 2

Got them from scav runs

[desert hull]

either find them in raid (rare), craft them with level 3 medstation in hideout, or buy them

If you're new just use AI-2s

[lyric storm]

Now they're just sitting in my stash collecting dust

[desert hull]

are you not using them to heal post-raid? @lyric storm

[tight elm]

Should I try healing up back to full hp or do I just heal up to a specific hp level?

[lyric storm]

No @desert hull

[desert hull]

full

before a raid

don't enter raids without full HP

[lyric storm]

I just let my character heal by himself while I go scav

[desert hull]

thats fine too

[unreal bear]

whos tryna make some money with me?

[desert hull]

but he usually won't full heal

[tight elm]

@lyric storm it takes too long to heal up right now

Is there anyway to reset my account in case I do something stupid and lose everything on my PMC?

[lyric storm]

I have extreme balls

[desert hull]

yes @tight elm

[lyric storm]

I go out with a character with only two thirds healed

[desert hull]

but there are no mistakes you could make beyond like... selling your container

that would require a reset

[lyric storm]

Is it possible to upgrade pouches

[desert hull]

yes

[lyric storm]

How so

[steady pilot]

[faint violet]

Alpha is useless dude

[desert hull]

completing punisher quest line gives an Epsilion container

completing all quests period gives a Kappa

[lyric storm]

Cool

[steady pilot]

You can buy beta from pk4

[desert hull]

and ye beta from pk4

[steady pilot]

5k usd iirc

[faint violet]

oh

[lyric storm]

Who's pk4

[split vapor]

or just get a better game edition

[desert hull]

peacekepper

[lyric storm]

Ah

[steady pilot]

Peacekeeper lvl 4

[lyric storm]

American man

[faint violet]

💦

lvl 4

[split vapor]

hes polish

[steady pilot]

Hes not american

[lyric storm]

It's hard to lvl him up tho

[steady pilot]

[lyric storm]

Fock

[faint violet]

Ok time to sink in another 400 hours for that

[split vapor]

ryan shouldnt you be at work

[steady pilot]

Yah

[lyric storm]

I need to fuggen buy in American dollars

[faint violet]

I’m dead ass about to fight this kid infrontof me he’s flexing his AirPods pro

[lyric storm]

This capitalist currency

[split vapor]

freedom dollars*

[violet basin]

hey.. how can i accept the tasks from the traders?

[split vapor]

Bose>airpods

[ruby sedge]

Cheeseburger wrappers*

:p

[faint violet]

Funny

Really creative

[long shale]

@violet basin you interact with them in the trading screen

[ruby sedge]

its fine, my money looks like monopoly money

[lyric storm]

So I just keep buying stuff from polish defected American to lvl him up

[desert hull]

well he's still polish but yes

[lyric storm]

Goddamn I'm gonna have a fun time buying m9s from him

[long shale]

Character > tasks screen lists stuff, but you can't interact with them

[faint violet]

🇺🇸👌

[violet basin]

so i dont need to accept the tasks?

[lyric storm]

In fact I bought an m9 for 2 nut bolts from the flea market

[long shale]

You need to accept the task yes

[ruby sedge]

canada at its finest

[faint violet]

Bought a 100 round mag for a bolt

[steady pilot]

Canada in a nutshell

[lyric storm]

Also I heard from a yt to never touch ragman

[steady pilot]

What?

[desert hull]

he's just a trader lol

[ruby sedge]

id disagree

[lyric storm]

Bruh

[desert hull]

he's not gonna steal your wife

[steady pilot]

Rag man sells plenty of good stuff

[ruby sedge]

gimme them saucy face wraps

[lyric storm]

Oh well

[desert hull]

ragman is actually one of the more important traders

[steady pilot]

I buy tactecs off market though

[desert hull]

who tf said that

[steady pilot]

And mich 2001 from pk2

[lyric storm]

I may have gotten his words wrong

But that's what I vaguely remember

It's from a beginner guide

[desert hull]

hey if any of y'all see me doing punisher pt3 today

[steady pilot]

Maybe dont focus him?

[desert hull]

leave me the fuck alone

ok

[outer zenith]

anyone looking to group?

[steady pilot]

But Ragman has a huge interchange questline with lots of xp

And money for looting IC

[violet basin]

in my character screen is no active task.. but at the trader screen are 2 Tasks, i cant accept it, and dont see any progress..

[lyric storm]

I just want someone to sell suppressors

[split vapor]

they do

[steady pilot]

@lyric stormwhy they are cheaper on market 10x

[lyric storm]

Oh cool

[steady pilot]

Like the nt-4 and wave suppressors are cheap as fuck

[lyric storm]

How much

[steady pilot]

For 556 and 762nato

40kish for both

[lyric storm]

Sounds nice

How much if you buy one from traders

[steady pilot]

The rest are 50-70k np

^

[lyric storm]

Hmm

[steady pilot]

Gurantee market is cheaper for most things

Except quest items that people buy out cause people dont have the trader lvl

Cause they buttholes

[lyric storm]

Eh the issue for me is that some will barter for things like sugar

Which I've never found before

[steady pilot]

You don't do barter trades on market

Simple

[rich cloak]

I have like 8 sugar lying around

[lyric storm]

Cool

[steady pilot]

Just go to market settings and uncheck barter

[rich cloak]

Yeah don't do batters its never worth it

[steady pilot]

dusts of hands

[lyric storm]

Oh yeah I bought an m9 for 2 nut bolts

Very nice deal

[steady pilot]

Tfw nuts used to be 30k

[lyric storm]

Bruh

[rich cloak]

Lol

Imagine buying a m9

[desert hull]

I mean, have you ever tried buying somebody's nuts? @steady pilot

[faint violet]

imagine finding a five seven

[desert hull]

hard thing to sell somebody on

[rich cloak]

@faint violet found 2 yesterday

[faint violet]

Those bullets are insane irl

No idea about in game

[rich cloak]

It's the best pistol

[outer zenith]

hey so how do i find people to party with and talk tooo?

[faint violet]

can’t be

If they added a 1911a1

It would be better

[rich cloak]

@outer zenith got to #521628660298678283 and #news-setup

[desert hull]

it actually wouldnt

[faint violet]

Because of sheer stopping power

[desert hull]

cause theres no reason for that to be the case lol

[rich cloak]

After you are done there you will get the PMC roleb

[steady pilot]

45 acp

[faint violet]

is deadly

[desert hull]

m1911 will be ok

[faint violet]

Knock you on your ass round
