@ember oak

also mosin can have a scope, mosin infantry cant

[steady pilot]

@ember oak one is sniper variant one is infantry. The sniper has a curved bolt to allow optics. Infantry has a straight bolt

[bold kernel]

kind of can

[ember oak]

but still dont understand why there is 30 versions of ak

whats the point

[steady pilot]

I just explained

You didnt read

[ember oak]

i know

[bold kernel]

because they exist irl

[ember oak]

but honestly

30

[steady pilot]

The ak100 series begins with ak74m.

[ember oak]

like 10 would do

[steady pilot]

101 and 102 are 556 rifles. The 102 is the shorty

[waxen cove]

I mean, the game is set in a fictionalized Russia

Of course there are a ton of AKs

[steady pilot]

103 and 104 are the 7x39

Modern long and short akm

105 is short 74m (ak100)

[ember oak]

im never getting into modding guns in this game

[steady pilot]

All of them come with dovetails and folding stocks

[ember oak]

to confusing

[bold kernel]

whaaaaat?

modding guns is like 50% of the fun of the game

[steady pilot]

^

Gun porn simulator

[ember oak]

gonna do a factory run

brb

[steady pilot]

@ember oak just right click the gun and do edit preset. Boom easy modding.

For free.

[waxen cove]

I love the gun modding, but I'm too scared to play and lose anything I pick up during a raid lol

[steady pilot]

After you unlock weapon table in hideout.

[waxen cove]

I could mod guns and move parts around all day

[ember oak]

gonna use this, sounds like its really powerful

[steady pilot]

9mm is garbo

You wont win against players with put multiple leg shots or face taps

Gg if they have helmet and visor

[ember oak]

gonna kill a scav and take his shit

usually they have that big fat ak with 10 bullets

i braught 20 bullets

enough for 1 kill

i hope

[lyric storm]

You better prepare yourself for at least 3 more lul

They come in packs most of the time

[late pier]

solsire are you new

[steady pilot]

Yes

[late pier]

lets run it

[lyric storm]

Go customs and muck about

It's the easiest to learn

[ember oak]

i am new

i died

[lyric storm]

It's ok

[ember oak]

that gun sucks

d

i

c

k

[late pier]

wanna join a chat

[lyric storm]

You'll die a lot in this game

[steady pilot]

@ember oak told you

[ember oak]

haha not when i spend most of my time looking at my inventory in the lobby

[bold kernel]

legit only use the saiga 9 when im hunting scavs

[lyric storm]

Take a pistol out, and wing it

[bold kernel]

usually at night

[ember oak]

@late pier how old are you

[late pier]

21

[steady pilot]

Why use pistol

[ember oak]

ooff

[steady pilot]

When veprkm is 13k

More reliable

[ember oak]

im only 16

[late pier]

so idc

[stone surge]

vepr KM or hunter and you have an actual chance killing high geared ppl

[ember oak]

oh ok

[stone surge]

on a budget

[lyric storm]

I'm pretty sure solaire here can't even access the flea market

[ember oak]

i am new and pretty shit tho

[ember oak]

do you know the woods map? @late pier

[lyric storm]

Do customs first

[steady pilot]

I live on woods

[lyric storm]

Not woods

[steady pilot]

[ember oak]

i like woods

easy to hide

[steady pilot]

Not from my group

[lyric storm]

Yeah but customs is easier to learn

[steady pilot]

[late pier]

i like woods i know a lot

[lyric storm]

Can't survive for 5 mins in woods

[ember oak]

@late pier wanna get 1 or 2 more?

[late pier]

woods is my fav map currently

[stone surge]

Woah impossible

[late pier]

im down can be just us or a trio

[frosty plinth]

Dumb question but uhh, all melee weapons are protected from looting right? (scared about losing the RR lol)

[lyric storm]

Yes

[frosty plinth]

ty!

[ember oak]

@late pier you got a scav good to go?

[worldly granite]

Got room for one more?

[noble flower]

ey, do you level the scavs movement strength etc aswell?

[faint violet]

No idea

That’s a good question

No funnies

[noble flower]

sometimes I get "this or that level up" while on the scav

covert movement or others

[faint violet]

I think it has a separate skill thing

That’s cool

[noble flower]

woho my stash lvl 2 is done!

[little portal]

anyone feel like bringing someone new on their raids? im tired of getting butt raped

[late pier]

fallacy wanna join?

[rich cloak]

OK Boomer

[steady pilot]

Built my pc 4 years ago

[faint violet]

I wasn’t even alive 4 years ago old timer

[tawdry roost]

where do i obtain poile of meds?

[rich cloak]

You can make them at your medstation @tawdry roost

[tawdry roost]

its gone

[rich cloak]

Or you can find them in raid

What's gone?

[thick harness]

I stole his medstation o.O

[undone hazel]

hideout is gone 😄

[rich cloak]

Dang boiii

[thick harness]

Yea was wondering the same, i use pile of meds to make stuff not make pile of meds

[rich cloak]

When did that happen?

@undone hazel pool's closed

[tawdry roost]

without a way to make pile of meds medstation is obsolete

[rich cloak]

Aids in the water

Never used my medstation activly tbh

[tawdry roost]

it was a nice way to make ifaks

at low levels

[rich cloak]

I think the last time I bought a healing item was at level 10

I usually just die

[opaque ferry]

wasnt it 1 car = 2 piles ?

[tawdry roost]

yup but its gone see screenshot

[opaque ferry]

i see why they removed it

[rich cloak]

Hey Kelly how kinky are you?

[opaque ferry]

Have you ever been to Tijuana and saw a donkey show?

[rich cloak]

No but now I'm interested

[languid salmon]

Yes

But it was in the Philippines

[rich cloak]

But why tho

Horses are far superior

[opaque ferry]

now, i do see a potential for super trader fuckery, 1 vepr 7.62x39 Ak = 2 metal parts, 1 metal = 1 ak74m = 24.87k sold to Skier / Mechanic

[rich cloak]

Mhm

Sounds too complicated for me

[faint violet]

🤡

[opaque ferry]

hmm nm, 4 hours = 24/4 = piss income

[rich cloak]

Hey Kelly are you a ginger by any chance?

[opaque ferry]

[rich cloak]

Yeah I figured so

[faint violet]

Witch

[rich cloak]

[faint violet]

If you catch my drift

[rich cloak]

Lol

[split vapor]

[noble flower]

Why doesnt the flea market show any hand guards when I link search an AK 105? u cant use any on it?

[split vapor]

Link the gas tube

[strange mural]

[noble flower]

I did

and got a handguard

it fits the gastube, but not the AK

[rich cloak]

What does it say when you try to put it on?

[noble flower]

"cannot install both ak-105 and CMRD"

[split vapor]

Cause you can’t

[noble flower]

at the same time

fits the gastube

[split vapor]

Yes

[strange mural]

gastube isnt model specific

[split vapor]

But not the short barrel ak

[strange mural]

[noble flower]

"link the gastube"

^^

[split vapor]

You picked the only one that won’t work

[noble flower]

xD

[strange mural]

so

i need to prone more

probably

for fal recoil

i do recommend people with moderate wealth to try the gun.

makes me moist.

[split vapor]

Or just use semi like a normal person

[faint violet]

^

[strange mural]

but for like

killa

n shit

[faint violet]

But when I’m cornered

[strange mural]

he dies

[noble flower]

wun tapps

[faint violet]

I just want to unload

[strange mural]

pew pew

[rich cloak]

I mean you can unload but about 2 bullets will hit

[noble flower]

guess I'll get the aggressor handguard instead xD

[rich cloak]

Just use the veprkm

[noble flower]

maybe ak-101 would've been a better choice

[split vapor]

74m

For 545

[rich cloak]

5.45 ak's just really arent my thing

[noble flower]

I wanted AK-100 series, and 105 had lowest recoil stock

[split vapor]

True

545 trash

556 aks are decent

[rich cloak]

PS and tap fire is where it's at

Are there any Ingame?

@split vapor

[split vapor]

556 ak

Yes

[rich cloak]

AK 12?

Oh shit I didn't know that the 101 is 556

[split vapor]

It’s 556 and aks modded have no recoil

[reef sorrel]

Yo homies, started playing like a week ago - i'm level 23 with most vendors at 2-3 - i feel like a retard for asking this, but how do i stop getting 1 tapped in the thorax constantly, i tried wearing the armour that covers thorax and its tier 4, but i get my shit rocked anyway, can someone tell me what i should be doing 😂

[split vapor]

Plus I’m pretty sure it’s fire rate is faster then the 545s

[rich cloak]

@reef sorrel #521628660298678283 #news-setup

[split vapor]

M80 and 7n1

Armor up to 5 those rounds don’t care

[rich cloak]

@reef sorrel it hurts to say but don't get hit by 1 tap ammo

[reef sorrel]

rip my life lol

so i have to just get to tier 5 ?

[split vapor]

Easy dont get shot

Nah that’s a waste of money

Gear doesn’t magically make you better

It only saves you from a fuck up

[reef sorrel]

so i just need to not get hit in the thorax ? lol

[split vapor]

[desert hull]

@half jackal how did you do punisher pt4?

[strange mural]

do any of you know how the hacks used to work though?

[desert hull]

kill PMCs on shoreline with scav vest

[half jackal]

i did that

[lapis mauve]

You don’t need scav vest

[strange mural]

because the guy i was holding down was lurking in a store
and suddenly i heard gunfire on top of me or inside of me

and i instantly died

[half jackal]

psst lookup fp-100 price on flea pls

[desert hull]

@half jackal yeah how'd you do it

[lapis mauve]

Just balaclava

[half jackal]

SVD iirc

[desert hull]

you need scav vest and balaclava

[lapis mauve]

No

[half jackal]

i used guns with 1x1 mags

hunter/etc

[lapis mauve]

Just balaclava

[desert hull]

@half jackal any nice places to sit?

I'll find your price for payment for advice

[lapis mauve]

I did it with no scav vest

[half jackal]

just ran to gas then power plant

[desert hull]

@lapis mauve

no

scav vest

[half jackal]

its bugged

[desert hull]

balaclava

[lapis mauve]

I’m on punisher 6 and I didn’t use scav vest

[half jackal]

u dont need too

[desert hull]

I'm still gonna use a scav vest to make sure it gets counted

[half jackal]

its bugged

[desert hull]

who knows what theyve hotfixed

@half jackal you didnt camp anywhere? just ran straight to gas then power?

[lapis mauve]

True, but you can always check it after one kill

[half jackal]

yeah i hunted

but if you want to sit somewhere

[desert hull]

i usually sit along the road

doesnt really matter where on it

[lapis mauve]

Also resort is good for killing pmc’s

[half jackal]

behind resort/next to power/gas

[desert hull]

yeah up above gas

or near construction

[worldly verge]

hey lads. Got the game a couple days ago, so far im pretty happy and got my performance figured out - biggest problem right now is that my frames drop like a fucking rock as soon as I get into a firefight. Killed me 3 times so far. I get shot at or hit, my fps becomes 0 for 1 - 5 seconds and then obviously im dead meat. Anyone have the same issues or ideas for a fix?

[desert hull]

heres your payment @half jackal

[half jackal]

neato

[desert hull]

@worldly verge what are your CPU, GPU, and RAM specs

[worldly verge]

Intel i5 with 8GB. Not optimal, i know

[desert hull]

this game requires 16gb to run properly

[waxen forge]

8GB is killing you with that CPU

[half jackal]

i5 means nothing btw

[desert hull]

and yes i5s have been produced for a decade

[half jackal]

like i have no clue how good your cpu is

[desert hull]

you must provide a model number

[worldly verge]

website says optimal is 6GB 😄

[desert hull]

website also says you can get away with 2gb of vram

[half jackal]

website is wrong

[worldly verge]

uhh one sec

[desert hull]

and that a core 2 duo is fucking fine

from 2011

with 2 cores

[waxen forge]

6...that's the most funny thing I've heard in a long time

[worldly verge]

i5-2310 3.9 GHz quadcore

[desert hull]

@waxen forge DDR3 had 6 and 12gb ram

2310 is pretty old

[half jackal]

yeah see

[worldly verge]

yeah ive read it on reddit too, fcking insane how much ram this game eats lmao

[desert hull]

you could play on a 2310 if you had 16gb of ram

[waxen forge]

I meant 6 was not enough

[strange mural]

boikks what level is rag four

[worldly verge]

yeah fo sho my PC is old af

[desert hull]

but 8gb aint it

[half jackal]

its actually pretty normal for ram usage

[desert hull]

when you first start it

[worldly verge]

never had any problems with other games

[desert hull]

longer you play the shittier it gets

[split vapor]

Yeah I wouldn’t buy it with that rn

[strange mural]

green my sherpa. what level do you need for rag level four

[waxen forge]

This isn't other games

[split vapor]

Idk

[strange mural]

[worldly verge]

yeah ive noticed

[desert hull]

I'd tell you what level you need

because I'm going for that level

[strange mural]

[desert hull]

but I just started matching again

[strange mural]

my friend made like 500k flipping factory keys today

cause they're rising in price

[strange mural]

yeah if i was here id done it too

1 use keys are like 400k

lmao

[desert hull]

there was a normally ripoff barter for 3 keycards

I think it was old from yesterday

cause thats cheap as shit compared to what they are now

so my friend just bought like 9 keycards

traded for 3 25/25 fact keys

and upsold them for like 800k

made 200k per key

the keycard dude got scammed

@strange mural

@half jackal

do I look scav enough

[strange mural]

this boy

looking like shturmans fools

[half jackal]

wait im in the middle of an okay run

[desert hull]

the whole task is revolved around killing PMCs

and being disguised as a scav

so the PMC guys think the scavs are trying war

do I look convincing lmao

[worldly verge]

radiating mad scav energy

remember to mumble russian shittalk

[simple urchin]

can you message someone in game without adding them?

[rich cloak]

@desert hull how's the task coming?

[desert hull]

just started it

only had one raid before this and got got

[half jackal]

@desert hull run IC with me soon

[desert hull]

ok

[worldly verge]

will buying an SSD speed up the map load times?

[half jackal]

by 4-5x

[desert hull]

^

[worldly verge]

yeeeeeet

[desert hull]

but 8gb of ram is trahs

buy a used 8gb stick

[worldly verge]

yah im in the process of assembling a new pc anyways

[desert hull]

can get cheap

like $15-20

[worldly verge]

whats that?

[desert hull]

of ram

[worldly verge]

hows that supposed to work lmao

[drowsy rampart]

How does scav behavior work? If i kill a scav as a scav only the ones who saw me kill him get mad right?

[bold kernel]

guys what t do with ammo that i dont use i got almost 2 cases

[half jackal]

sell it

[desert hull]

@drowsy rampart or heard you do it

[worldly verge]

sell

[desert hull]

but yes

[drowsy rampart]

ok cool ty

[rich cloak]

@drowsy rampart no

They have like a detection radius afaik

[drowsy rampart]

i see ok

[simple urchin]

is the SVDS stock not appearing because its not available from vendors and no1 is selling?

[desert hull]

lol forgot my sv98 for peacekeeper

@simple urchin all items show there regardless of sale status

[half jackal]

@simple urchin yes probably

well

link search svds

[simple urchin]

yea tried it

no idea why i can't see it then :/

[steady pilot]

@simple urchin yes

It's not being offered and doesn't show up

Best to buy a svd whole

[desert hull]

how much is PAID

[simple urchin]

ok thanks all 😄

[desert hull]

on flea

[zealous forge]

Do I need to be doing a PMC run in woods for Scav quest kills to count?

[worldly verge]

yes

[desert hull]

how much is PAID on flea market?

somebody check pls

[steady pilot]

Scav and pmc are completely separate in every which way @zealous forge

[half jackal]

extracting rn

give me a few sec

[waxen forge]

Paid is probably worthless on flea

It's only used for trade for Salewa

[worldly verge]

Anything a new player should look out for? Kinda hard prioritizing loot atm since I have no clue what its worth or what i could trade it in for.

[half jackal]

@worldly verge everything

[worldly verge]

lmao thx

[half jackal]

its all worth something

seriously

with hideout

[waxen forge]

https://gamepedia.cursecdn.com/escapefromtarkov_gamepedia/1/19/QuestItemRequirements.png

[worldly verge]

yes hence I said "prioritizing" ;D

[half jackal]

keep those ^

[desert hull]

how far is it from here to scav island's house

[steady pilot]

Where the fuck is here

[simple urchin]

@desert hull 10-15k it seems

[steady pilot]

200m

Give or take

[desert hull]

is that the under or over

[half jackal]

looks like ~130-160m imo

oh\

[desert hull]

what about wiper btw

how much is that

[steady pilot]

Zero 100m hold chest

@desert hull

[half jackal]

wiper not worth much but needed find in raid for peacekeeper quest

[marble latch]

okay quick question guys, it's like the 5th time this happens to me

I am dying without seeing or hearing any shots

I just get hit suddenly and I don't see anything, eventually drop dead

[simple urchin]

no roubles listing on flea atm turbo

[marble latch]

does anyone know or experienced this before?

[worldly verge]

"they say you dont hear the one that gets ya"

yeah had it once today but usually I can hear them when they pop me

idk maybe suppressed? Maybe just game logic?

[marble latch]

I don't mean that they didn't fire, I mean that I don't hear it, it just happened to me while I was inside a room

[steady pilot]

@marble latch this is when someone is suppressed and you are out of the effective hearing range

[marble latch]

it's like the server is moving for them but not for me

[worldly verge]

yeah ol

*ik

[marble latch]

well yeah but that wouldn't really explain the scavs being stuck in the same running still animations

[steady pilot]

Upgrade your gaming chair

[worldly verge]

talking about that today I moved into 2 scavs walking in place, impervious to bullets and 3 bodies on the ground. idk what that was about but they were stuck

haha shit you just said the same thing

[marble latch]

it feels like I load into the server but the server is actually stuck for me, but not for everyone else

[waxen forge]

Scavs running is server issue

[worldly verge]

thought the server crashed but there were other scavs walking around

[marble latch]

I think they see me but I don't and I only realize it when it's too late

[waxen forge]

Or your connection to it

[steady pilot]

^

Get better net

[marble latch]

it's not the net lol

[worldly verge]

same net is fine

[marble latch]

probably the PC, not the most modern thing in the world, but def not the internet

[steady pilot]

Are you on wifi

[marble latch]

no sir

[worldly verge]

there have been server issues for ages, ima assume its part of that

even saw it with some streamers

[marble latch]

it's not the net, trust me

[steady pilot]

Guess its server lag

[worldly verge]

I think its just part of the game being in beta and all that

[marble latch]

but server lag would be for everyone, not just for some I guess

[steady pilot]

You must be higher pinged to the server

[marble latch]

yeah I guess

anyway to choose servers?

[steady pilot]

Launcher

[marble latch]

got it, ty!

[desert hull]

from the hill behind gas to the road leading to pier? @steady pilot

[half jackal]

1.3m from 18 minute interchange run

and I didnt even loot tech stores

[split vapor]

100-125

[desert hull]

so zero for 100m and aim at impact point

where I want to impact

[split vapor]

zero 1 aim like neck

plus you have height advantage

[desert hull]

yeah I dont know much about height and all that

how it affects ballistics

[split vapor]

100 zero and m80 their chest

should be fine

[desert hull]

took out somebody with the five seven

even though y'all doubted it

[steady pilot]

[desert hull]

these player scav weapons are way too tricked out sometimes

dude had a m870 with a full aftermarket setup

[tawdry roost]

thats just m870

vepr hunter and fal is a nightmare

[steady pilot]

Chad cannon 700 with a tac30

[tawdry roost]

any spawn with m80 ammo is a nightmare or m61

[steady pilot]

👌

[main sky]

Should i be insuring my gear every run?

[drowsy rampart]

is there a benefit of doing the optional quest objectives?

[tawdry roost]

+/- yes

[steady pilot]

@main sky yes

[robust jackal]

So me and snutri just went to do quests on customs and decided to go for one more quest on dorms...

turns out

[tawdry roost]

i dont insure weapons like m4

[robust jackal]

there was a bloodbath there

killed scab boss

usec dead everywhere

[steady pilot]

@main sky if you're poor, kill a scav or player with your kit, and drop your stuff in a Bush. Upgrade or replace your kit with theirs

[robust jackal]

tons of ak's

gen 4

helmets with faceshields

gosh

free loot

[steady pilot]

Insurance is pretty worth

Even on m4s

And high values

[orchid narwhal]

anyone wanna play

[waxen forge]

Most people aren't taking rigs and armor.

[steady pilot]

You never know when you potato againt a hunter scav and lose your shit

[tawdry roost]

i feel like high values never return

[waxen forge]

Not true. I've had plenty of high value stuff return

[steady pilot]

Cause you ain't rocking high values correctly

[strange mural]

https://i.imgur.com/koO5kfF.png

[drowsy rampart]

i've been trying to figure out why its so expensive to insure my gear turns out its been trying to insure my sicc case in my gamma lol

[steady pilot]

Snutri take the mags and grips off

[strange mural]

yeah i will

[steady pilot]

Stores way easier

[strange mural]

im still trying to do the math

on what happened

[steady pilot]

O

[robust jackal]

like 10 bodies

[strange mural]

im gonna go eod tomorrow

[tawdry roost]

i just insured my sicc case and thats it

[robust jackal]

inside inside dorm 3

[steady pilot]

@strange muralwwhy you missed the sale

Wait till new years

[tawdry roost]

dont want to uncheck that shit each time

[strange mural]

why not

tax is hella bad anyway

[steady pilot]

Pft

What tax

🇺🇸

[desert hull]

does anyone here doubt the chad-seven

not a spectaculiar cool, I just thought it was neat

first or second shot killed him

pretty sure as soon as he stopped firing I had him

[hoary lion]

Should i work for wasting money on peacekeeper to get him to L2?

I wasted enough on Prapor and Therapist but Skier/Mechanic/Ragman are still behind

[thick harness]

I bought 200 hats from skier and sold them to ragman lol it hurt the bankroll but was pretty quick to get both up

[hoary lion]

how much did it cost you xD

[thick harness]

Buy em for like 1800 sell for 1100

[desert hull]

y'all should just be selling stuff naturally over time

but if you have to do what red said

[thick harness]

I think its dumb the first loyalty is one mil, then next is like 1.5

[hoary lion]

Yea i did but who should i prioritize

[thick harness]

first loyalty should be 500k

Ragman i would say

you can buy eco armor

[hoary lion]

i am bit broke now

100k

[lapis mauve]

To level PK I bought usd then bought m9’s from him and sold them on flea for roubles

[hoary lion]

i earned alot of money yesterday but got myself the dogtag case

[thick harness]

Another good tip is completely strip your guns before you sell them

sell any attachments you can to skier, then the rest to mechanic or ragman if he will take them

[hoary lion]

i always strip :D

[desert hull]

Rc's suggestion is great too

any item that will sell on flea can be bought from a trader then sold for almost 100% return on flea

if not a slight profit

if its an item from a higher level than 1

[thick harness]

Yea thats true too

[hoary lion]

Welli was just thinking if i should push skier and use ADARS
orrrrrrrrrr just try the MPX/MP5/M4A1 from PK 2

[desert hull]

only use ADAR if you can afford to buy M856A1

instead of M855

same with M4A1

except with m4 you probably just want to get straight to M995

MP5/MPX arent bad guns at all if you use them right

btw do you guys like my collection

[hoary lion]

what ammo mp5/mpx uses?

[desert hull]

9x19 @hoary lion

[hoary lion]

noice

[desert hull]

almost have 25 cond milk

so halfway to kiba key

[hoary lion]

Isnt the 9x19 really bad vs any kind of armor?

[strange mural]

is the zsh any good or was it one of those

no ears ones

[desert hull]

yeah but the point is to avoid armor

you play different with an SMG

[hoary lion]

yikes dude

[strange mural]

[hoary lion]

listen

99% of my deaths

[desert hull]

go for face shots more and react based on enemy gear level

[hoary lion]

are because im forced to face tank a better armor player

[strange mural]

turbo
zsh-1-2m

keep or

sel

l

[desert hull]

I keep for smol maps

good helmet

[strange mural]

aighty

[desert hull]

obstructs hearing tho

[hoary lion]

like
seriously, today i just died to players who had a better spraying armor pen gun
and alot better armor

[desert hull]

dont want on large maps where hearing is important

then don't use 9x19 @hoary lion

[hoary lion]

i didnt

[desert hull]

9x19 is perfectly fine if you know what you're doing though

[hoary lion]

i only use 7.62

vepr

cuz its cheap and easy to get

[desert hull]

7.62x39 or 7.62x51

[hoary lion]

x39

not mosin

Vepr

[desert hull]

mosin is 7.62x54r

7.62x51 is NATO

[clear yacht]

Anyone wanna team up? Eu

[hoary lion]

oh

[desert hull]

anyway 7x39 with PS is good up to class 3 and partially effective against class 4

[hoary lion]

Then i died to lots of class 4 or 5 players xd

[desert hull]

7x39 BP is good against up to I believe class 4 and partially effective against class 5

[hoary lion]

Seriously they just rush me

spray me from 0 range

before i manage to even pull my trigger twice

and die

[desert hull]

well you also should learn to point fire

[hoary lion]

then i see notes

dmg absorbed by armor

nearly everything

[desert hull]

close range you almost always want to point fire

can you hit headshots

[hoary lion]

well if i die like that

its usually on factory

i should really stop playing factory

lol

[desert hull]

even the geared kids usually don't have strong enough faceshields

and yes factory blows cock

unless you're good

[hoary lion]

ITS SO FUN THOUGH

[desert hull]

and have gear

[hoary lion]

literally

[desert hull]

its 6 players locked in a cage

[hoary lion]

yea

its very fun

well

[desert hull]

if you kill the other 5 you're golden

[hoary lion]

i should just stop playing it

[desert hull]

if you don't you're dead

[hoary lion]

I think i only once killed 5pmc's

other times i was just out geared

[desert hull]

I mean you can let them kill each other too

let 3 die then kill the last 2

[hoary lion]

there should really be a level cap matchmaking system if you join late on wipe..

[desert hull]

I'm against that

[waxen forge]

No way

[desert hull]

but not against some sort of matchmaking

[hoary lion]

i mean dude new players are getting wrecked

[waxen forge]

Against all matchmaking

[hoary lion]

its very hard to catch up

[desert hull]

I think one or the other, either gear based or squad based should be implemented

not a hard rule mind

just a soft one

[hoary lion]

yea

something to make stuff even

[desert hull]

so it doesn't prevent matches

[waxen forge]

I joined late wipe when I started. Was it hard? Yes. That's why I appreciated when I caught up.

[desert hull]

it would just attempt to match with rules

then loosen them the longer it takes

not everyone likes the uphill both ways speech and mindset @waxen forge

[waxen forge]

NO matchmaking at all. On any map can be solo, duo, trio, full squad, level 1 - 70.

[hoary lion]

no way youd kill someone with an SKS/AKM/VEPR without any armor or class 2-3 armor with the shitty lvl1 ragman comtacs
if he has like an M4A1 with lots of pen power

[desert hull]

some people don't like getting smashed

[hoary lion]

its not about getting smashed

its getting outgeared

[desert hull]

but nah your example is wrong

[waxen forge]

Opinions were stated. I stated mine @desert hull

[desert hull]

@waxen forge True, just stating mine as well

[waxen forge]

Don't like it don't care

[hoary lion]

well, you got my point

i cant afford an M4A1

or

any other gun

with good pen power

bullets

[desert hull]

@waxen forge Well, you can be less abrasive

@hoary lion I mean you can

[hoary lion]

im just lvl 15

[waxen forge]

Ignore it

[hoary lion]

i know

but

[tawdry roost]

@hoary lion just wrecked 3 man squad <20lvl with an sks.

[hoary lion]

i dont have enough money to mod it

[desert hull]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/648182082396356649/651551380498284546/Escape_From_Tarkov_2019.12.03_-_17.08.03.525.DVR.mp4

[hoary lion]

get ammo

[desert hull]

watch this clip Tomd

I used a handgun to kill a dude with this gun

[tawdry roost]

you just need to know how to pick your fights

[desert hull]

I ambushed him and easily killed him before he could get any base on what was going on

[hoary lion]

yea

[desert hull]

with a handgun

[hoary lion]

but think that a new player

[desert hull]

watch the clip

[hoary lion]

dont have a crap idea

[desert hull]

its not a new player

[hoary lion]

how to approach fights

[desert hull]

just a dude

ambushed

[hoary lion]

i know

the right player can make the right decisions

i just dont understand how i can realy improve if im getting outgeared so badely

[desert hull]

well you play differently

where are you getting shot at

what part of the map

[hoary lion]

i try ;-; so hard

[desert hull]

also stop playing fuckin factory

[hoary lion]

yea

[desert hull]

any other map please

[hoary lion]

thats

a stupid habit

i tend to scav on interchange to get money

but its not efficinet

[desert hull]

why not

[hoary lion]

cuz the kit sucks 90% of the time

[barren current]

more like out shot

ammo matters the most

[desert hull]

kit doesnt matter

intechange is loaded with loot

[hoary lion]

true

but today

i had a nice run

got like

atealsat 90k roubles of loot on me

but died to 2 players on the extract

though i did played it very bad

[desert hull]

@barren current question, do you think the grenade in the clip above did any damage?

[barren current]

nade looked too left but the shotgun was spot on

[hoary lion]

i freaked out
but i barely couldve done anything with my 10magged akm XD

against those 2 dudes

[desert hull]

shotgun?

[barren current]

post the clip again i may be mixing two things up

[hoary lion]

though i did manage to extract 3/5 from interchange in the last days

[desert hull]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/648182082396356649/651551380498284546/Escape_From_Tarkov_2019.12.03_-_17.08.03.525.DVR.mp4

ambushed a guy with this AK

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/521626362251837451/651554925771227153/unknown.png

I had a five seven and a grenade

[hoary lion]

@desert hull what gun should i take for interchange? also, bring any armor and such?

[desert hull]

I either one or two tapped the guy so i was wondering if the grenade did any damage

@hoary lion cant answer these questions

[hoary lion]

ree

who can`

[steady pilot]

@hoary lion veprkm or hunter

[hoary lion]

halp

[desert hull]

based entirely off your playstyle, budget, and what you plan to do in raid

[hoary lion]

yea i use mostly vepr

delta

if you remember our convo from few days ago xd

[barren current]

id say u headhot him and ot the nade got him

or

[desert hull]

if you're passive you can just bring a glock, m9, grach, etc

[steady pilot]

Vepr is 13k

[desert hull]

kill was in the arm is why I ask @barren current

[hoary lion]

true

[steady pilot]

Why take a pistol

[barren current]

lol

[steady pilot]

9mm is doo doo

[desert hull]

because he might already have these

[steady pilot]

And stats is doo doo

[desert hull]

and he might as well learn how ammo works

[hoary lion]

my stash is empty now

[desert hull]

instead of crutching off ammo

I think ppl rely way too hard on high tier ammo

[steady pilot]

Crutching

[desert hull]

and don't ever learn how to kill someone without it

[steady pilot]

Because of bsgs take on armor

[hoary lion]

i mean sure you can aim for legs

[steady pilot]

It makes all bullets useless

[barren current]

the ammo is what gets the kill is it not

[desert hull]

no you aim for the face

[strange mural]

thicc item case cant fit weapons can it

[desert hull]

pistols are easy as shit to get faceshots with

[barren current]

last i checked i cant smash you with a gun

[steady pilot]

And vepr isnt easy face shot?

[hoary lion]

but if he wears aface shield turbo?

[desert hull]

not as easy, no

[steady pilot]

How

[desert hull]

recoil, ergo, length, etc

[steady pilot]

It has less recoil

[hoary lion]

vepr is much easier if u ask me

yea

[robust jackal]

thicc item case can store guns or it needs to be the thicc weapons?

[hoary lion]

and also a bigger mag

[desert hull]

I must have a different experience than you

[steady pilot]

And cost 13k

[barren current]

can store anything but thicc cases

[desert hull]

because my pistols reset faster than the vepr

[steady pilot]

Less than a glock

And tt01 ironsight

[hoary lion]

dont forget the better ammo too

[steady pilot]

So you can actualysee

[desert hull]

m9 is 11k

pistols you already have are free

[steady pilot]

Again 9mm Is unreliable

[desert hull]

it aint if you are good

the point is to not take every fight anyways

noobs think every fight has to be taken and amtched

[steady pilot]

Wouldnt catch a 9mm in my cold dead hands

Useless

[desert hull]

when like 9/10 you should be avoiding fights

[steady pilot]

Cause armor

Is accessible

[desert hull]

early on anyway

[steady pilot]

Too accessible for lvl 5

[hoary lion]

are the zenit b-10 handguard and pistol grip

lvl 1 or 2 traders?

[steady pilot]

Skier 2

Caa is pk2

[hoary lion]

and Magpul MOE SL foregrip?

[steady pilot]

This is prapor lvl 1 and 2

[hoary lion]

also skier 2?

[patent egret]

would anyone be willing to help me with customs quests?

[desert hull]

nobody is saying veprkm is bad or not meta for early game

[hoary lion]

yea i know i run this vepr build nearly every raid now

its mainly my main gun rn

[desert hull]

but there are definitely more weapons to enjoy in this game than just the meta ones

[steady pilot]

Veprkm isnt meta

[desert hull]

if I stuck to meta guns I'd literally use like, 4 guns in the entire game

its meta for early game

[barren current]

what site do you put on it?

[steady pilot]

I'm simply saying why take pistol over veprkm

[desert hull]

because servicable, cheaper, and probably already has them

[barren current]

sight fuck

[desert hull]

and they used to run faster

but idk if thats still the case

[steady pilot]

9mm is useless and the platform has horrible stats

[desert hull]

nah 9mm is fine

[steady pilot]

Its not

[desert hull]

its not meant to compete with 7x62

you dont compare 9x19 to 7.62

[steady pilot]

I've played since .8, pistols get you nowhere

[desert hull]

I mean I don't have the same experience but I do very well with handguns

[barren current]

if we want to get technical the best gun is a hunter with a 10 rounder
