[steady pilot]

Good nuff

[steady pilot]

Like 40 or 80

Stick them in container

Pull pain killer and ai2 out

[bold kernel]

315 and 105 @daring ember

[silver dome]

done

is this good?

[steady pilot]

And get a cold fear balaclava and the ballistic goggles 👌

Gotta be tacticool

[desert hull]

you have no backpack

[silver dome]

😄

wait do i need one i can skill a scav for one

[steady pilot]

@desert hull I don't take backpacks

Money is k

[silver dome]

whats the best / cheapest

[steady pilot]

Backpacks are money sink

Earn it by killing for one

[desert hull]

living is money sink

just stop

[steady pilot]

Backpacks are a plethora in raid

[desert hull]

[silver dome]

im selling a pack of sugar for 25k on flea market

if anyone wanna cop

wish me luck , just hopped on a raid

[steady pilot]

Aim chest

[silver dome]

not head?

[steady pilot]

You got dis

[silver dome]

dis?

[steady pilot]

Eh

[silver dome]

oph

this

:PD

[steady pilot]

You can aim head

[silver dome]

wish me luck 100x

[frank beacon]

is there a way to keep bags and cases from closing on their own when u walk away from them

[steady pilot]

Just saying m80 one taps chest rather effectively

[silver dome]

look at it

as you walk out

sw , through armor?

[steady pilot]

Up to lvl 4

Lvl 5 is a rng dice roll

[silver dome]

is the hunter good?

[steady pilot]

It will 1 tap scavs

Cheaper m1a/fal yes :]

[silver dome]

nice

[steady pilot]

Less modding involved

Shoots m80 too

[strange mural]

So cheap

[pearl plume]

im new can i get a bud to team up wit

[vapid tusk]

sure i can join you

[pearl plume]

thanks whats ur username

[vapid tusk]

i pm you

[steady pilot]

[past ravine]

So I’m trying to get into PC gaming and this is the first game I’m going to go with. What are some good specs I should be looking for in a PC to run this?

Just PM if possible. TYIA

[steady pilot]

This is your first pc shooter?

[stone surge]

damn right into a hardcore shooter.

[past ravine]

Correct. I’m trying to build one rn and don’t know crap about pc hahaha

All or nothing

Lol

[steady pilot]

You need atleast a i5 or amd equivalent and 10 series+ graphics card, and 16gb ram minimum

If you want to enjoy the game, or other intensive games

[frank beacon]

I get like 60-90 frames with an i5 and a 1060

[past ravine]

Okay I’ll write that down! Any other suggestions?

[frank beacon]

get an ssd

[steady pilot]

I recommend a graphics card with 6 gb or 8gb of vram.

This is important to run good graphics

It's not the speed so much as the space

Space is good.

[stone surge]

@past ravine Not particular for tarkov, but buy a gold ranked power supply instead of a really cheap non-ranked one.

will save you a headache in the future

and it's not expensive either

Will even save you some on the electric bills 🙂

[steady pilot]

Like tbh, since all I do is pc game( i myself am looking towards a full rebuild cause im.goving my pc as hand me down) I'm gonna build with: i7 8/9700K, 16 gb ram, rig strix 2070 (already owned), and z370/z390 asus mb

[stone surge]

Not bad.

[steady pilot]

I regret my i5 build

Tbh

[stone surge]

Is nvidia not releasing a new series sometime soon?

[steady pilot]

They are

But a 2070 super is worth.

[stone surge]

RTX been out for a while now, havent been updated though

[steady pilot]

For 400

[stone surge]

ofcourse

even 10XX series is solid (if you still own it)

[steady pilot]

Yeh

1070+

Cause vram

[stone surge]

yup

[steady pilot]

My 970 was doodoo

[strange mural]

Or a ti

Of those models

[stone surge]

970 wasnt even true 4gb vram

[steady pilot]

Got really hot cause it didnt regulate temp and only 4gb

[stone surge]

scammaz

[silver dome]

sw , nice

i did a successful raid

[steady pilot]

@silver dome ay

[silver dome]

got a keycard and a cupple of gones

gunes

labs key

[strange mural]

So delta you on 10pm central us times?

[steady pilot]

How did the gun perform

Yeh

[silver dome]

Excelent

[steady pilot]

Should be

[silver dome]

3 scavs

[past ravine]

Thank you everyone I appreciate it!

[silver dome]

2 infront one right

sprayd them all

1 hit

armor took alot of hits

[strange mural]

Thats 6pm but

[steady pilot]

1 tap scav op

[silver dome]

threw it away for a blackrock and a 35 armor

[strange mural]

Am*

[steady pilot]

How much hp did your rig have left

[silver dome]

0

[steady pilot]

Lmao

[silver dome]

didnt wanna risk it

[steady pilot]

You took a lot hits

Yeah toss it was a good choice

Tactec serves me well

For 60k rig

[silver dome]

hey look

this is what i got out with

[stone surge]

tactec is a super deal for 60k

[silver dome]

good or bad

[ember oak]

can you get dovetail on the mosin infantry?

[split vapor]

no

[steady pilot]

Its solid

[split vapor]

cant dovetail the mosins

[steady pilot]

@silver domegolden tt pistol

[silver dome]

whats that

[steady pilot]

You can trade or sell that for a fresh tac tec

[silver dome]

it was on a scav

[steady pilot]

That's a scav boss item

[silver dome]

bruh

[steady pilot]

you killed reshala

[silver dome]

i killed a scav boss

[steady pilot]

[silver dome]

he had the cool helmet

[steady pilot]

You didnt even know??

[strange mural]

Hes a weakling

Just shoot him 4head

[steady pilot]

His goons arent

@silver domedid you check reshalas pockets

[ember oak]

@split vapor i have dovetail on it tho

[silver dome]

um

ummm

no why

wait

i did

[split vapor]

mosin=/= dovetail

[strange mural]

He can have bitcoin and keycards

[silver dome]

i got a keycard out of it

[strange mural]

Wait

[steady pilot]

That's good

[strange mural]

Can he have btc

[ember oak]

or no its a ring mournt

[steady pilot]

Yes

[strange mural]

Cant emember

[steady pilot]

Btc spawns in his pocket

[split vapor]

kochetov mount and stuff

[steady pilot]

Key card. Etter

@ember oak buy kochetov mount and linked search it

You should see a rail you can attach

[silver dome]

do i sell the gold tt to trader or flea

[split vapor]

no

keep tt

[steady pilot]

Trade it for a tactec

Or sell on market

[split vapor]

task

item

gold tt

[steady pilot]

Uwu

Find in raid only?

[split vapor]

ye

[silver dome]

too late its been sold 😮

[split vapor]

):

[steady pilot]

@silver domethats ATLEAST a 300k run though

Pretty solid

[silver dome]

yupp

thanks for the setup help

[steady pilot]

Especially for customs

[silver dome]

❤️

[steady pilot]

Ya see I have big brain, shoot has smol brain

[silver dome]

damn how should i organize my stash , my ocd is trigered right now

[steady pilot]

[bold kernel]

wow

poopy covered in gold still poopy

[cerulean cape]

iis there any way to see how much recoil reduction you get per level of Assault rifles? doesnt show on wiki

[bold kernel]

@cerulean cape i think recoil reduction is given by recoil control

[cerulean cape]

That's horizontal recoil

Vertical is the weapon skill itself

[bold kernel]

neat

there's 50 levels correct?

so -0.5% weapon recoil reduction
+0.4% reload speed
+0.8% weapon switch speed

[silver dome]

hmmm double fl

imagine that pointing at u

in a night raid

when ur a new

[bold kernel]

double trouble

[silver dome]

freshie

[bold kernel]

yes i am a new freshie how did you know

[steady pilot]

Fresh 💩

[faint violet]

🤡

[silver dome]

sw whats the vest claled again

[steady pilot]

Tactec

[faint violet]

Shit

Tec

[silver dome]

i literally have 40/40 body armor

[strange mural]

tictacs op

[silver dome]

which one do i buy and

repair

[steady pilot]

The 49k

0/40

[faint violet]

👌

[strange mural]

no

what

[steady pilot]

Yes

[faint violet]

Good advice

[steady pilot]

It repairs really good

[faint violet]

can we get one of the red fucks down here

[strange mural]

ahhh

thats a tictac

[faint violet]

Tictac

[steady pilot]

It will be 38 or 39 durability

Once repaired

[faint violet]

sounds like bs

[strange mural]

mechanic opieop

[silver dome]

sw , how do i repair it

which way

[steady pilot]

Prapor

[strange mural]

is mechanic just not good value

[steady pilot]

No

Tactec and killa armor repair so well

With prapor

[silver dome]

wow

26k to repair

[steady pilot]

Yep

[silver dome]

so it cost me like 79 k all together

for armor

[steady pilot]

Yep

[strange mural]

tier 5

armor that comes back with insurance

[bold kernel]

with a rig included

[steady pilot]

^

80k is good value

[faint violet]

Propaganda

Lies

[bold kernel]

ez kit

[steady pilot]

^

You could get like a 16 out of 38 or whatever and it be like 14k

Something like that

[strange mural]

in general

armored rigs are

sleeper op

[steady pilot]

^ since the update

Armoed rigs were super meh pre 12.0

Bringing them all to class 4 and class 5

Was👌 👌 👌

Otherwise like an alpha rig and gen4 or killa armor was nearly the go to

[strange mural]

its honestly pretty

perfectly balanced

[azure arrow]

how to start a group

[strange mural]

you dont

[steady pilot]

Right click invite?

[strange mural]

you start looking for a game

picking you-

ye

delta

whats your preferred scopes for long ranges on the fal

im talking woods ranges

thinking maybe monstrum

[iron rapids]

Got some info I found out in practice

When you have multiple grenades they are selected from left to right rig has priority then pockets

[strange mural]

you can also bind them

to keys

at the bottom bar

[iron rapids]

@strange mural I think the 1x-6x would be good if you have a DMR variant

Oh....

That I didn’t know

[split vapor]

vudu best

[strange mural]

shoot gib proof

[iron rapids]

But if you just have a standard FAL 2x is more than enough

[strange mural]

well

standard as in

just a scope and a handrail

kekw

[silver dome]

big L @steady pilot i died

[iron rapids]

CQB

Or 16inch barrel

[rain oar]

Why am I so garbage at this game

[manic moss]

you and me both bulls lmao

[iron rapids]

I’m garbage too

[strange mural]

you havent suffered enough

[split vapor]

ahem vudu best
https://streamable.com/sk8k8

[manic moss]

are we here just to suffer ?

[iron rapids]

Just hop on offline

Put scavs on high

High spawn

[bold kernel]

is the mp5 any good

[rain oar]

I mean.. thats what I do @iron rapids

[iron rapids]

@split vapor oh? Is that a bolt action you’re using? Not a select fire rifle?! Yea okay then 1-6 or 4x is enough for a DMR FAL

[bold kernel]

@rain oar don't fuck with bots tbh

[rain oar]

I mean

Some scavs are bots

[bold kernel]

they all wear shitty armor

[rain oar]

Even some players from what Ive seen play like bots

[bold kernel]

and playing vs players is much different

[iron rapids]

What is it you are having trouble with? @rain oar

[bold kernel]

yes, it might be deliberate

[iron rapids]

@bold kernel hmmmmm

[bold kernel]

some ppl act like ai

[iron rapids]

I beg to differ

[split vapor]

vudu works great on fal

[iron rapids]

Some scavs have rained 2 MOs in headshots

Mosin

[bold kernel]

yeah

[iron rapids]

I’ll make a vid next time

[bold kernel]

that's called being unlucky

[cerulean cape]

zb-014 key worth anything?

[gray mountain]

mfw I get a TOZ with silencer on my scav

[rain oar]

@iron rapids Honestly.. I can't even tell what my issue is. My movement isn't it.. maybe its just me having difficulties adjusting on how to aim properly in this game, idk

[faint violet]

Toz with a silencer

[manic moss]

i have a question, new on the discord here so heya, when looking for a squad and you found said squad do you see each others location ? or you just gues who your mates are ?

[iron rapids]

That’s not unlucky that’s hit register BS or a scav with ti much damn health

[bold kernel]

@rain oar do you sneak?

[faint violet]

Run it as a secondary use slugs

[split vapor]

mosin*

[faint violet]

And snipe

[gray mountain]

aha

true

[iron rapids]

Well it took me a minute to switch from console to PC

[bold kernel]

@manic moss you should deploy in the same place i'm pretty sure

[iron rapids]

I’ve only had mine for about 3 weeks now

[rain oar]

@bold kernel Yeah. If I know if there are people around me I'm the sneakiest of the sneaky

[bold kernel]

yeah?

how do you slow walk

what button

[gray mountain]

scroll down

[bold kernel]

nope

[rain oar]

Nah its on Caps for me

[manic moss]

@bold kernel oh nice thanks for the info 🙂

[bold kernel]

good

[rain oar]

Listen, I'm not that dumb okay

[gray mountain]

aha, didnt know caps dd that

[iron rapids]

@split vapor perfect

[bold kernel]

@manic moss hey that i'm pretty sure was pretty uncertain

but i'm def sure you'll spawn in the same place if you're all pmcs

[manic moss]

ah alright i see well ill give it a go then

[gray mountain]

yes, you spawn in the same place

reminder:

different loading times so wait for your teammates

so you dont lose eachother

[manic moss]

thats good to know thanks

[iron rapids]

@rain oar I’d say work on situational awareness, map knowledge, where I can get ambushed from etc

Also how you react heavily dictates how players will react

[bold kernel]

can someone tell me why does fuel conditioner cost 93k at therapist

[iron rapids]

IE if you have a lesser tiered armor better geared players will typically stalk you so they can get a kill and loot

Always move as if you’re getting followed

[rain oar]

I never stay in the same spot

Like, ever

[iron rapids]

Don’t take unnecessary vulnerable paths unless you REALLY have to

That’s fine didn’t say you did but chilling for a bit isnt bad for some situations

[rain oar]

I mean, I guess its more to do with map knowledge and all. Even though I come from Siege where that.. is also key

[iron rapids]

Siege is all CQB/MOUT. No open spaces or big streets to fight in

[rain oar]

Yeah, thats true

[iron rapids]

Having that is good if you decide to get close

That’s how most firefights are finished so for from what I’ve seen

[rain oar]

Like, I've been doing Scav -> Offline -> Scav etc. Just to get the feel for most maps

Like hell, my first succesful PMC raid was on Factory

[bold kernel]

experience in games other than tarkov give you little to no advantage

unless you played stuff like arma or squad

[rain oar]

That I did

[bold kernel]

i didn't

now i'm suffering

[rain oar]

I have like 1k hours in ArmA3 doing custom ops and stuff

[iron rapids]

@bold kernel not true, in terms on gameplay yes but having a tactiful sense of things can help. Siege can give him that. Movement isn’t the same but learning that is what everyone gets first. Once he has that down applying his siege knowledge(how to move and where) won’t be a problem

All he has to do is learn the area he is in and it’ll be fine

[bold kernel]

talking about mechanics

[wintry chasm]

@rain oar last time i made a mission on arma 3 the ai sniped all my men through the trees and other foliage instantly like

ops deploy, men move to objective

BAM BAM BAM BAM

everyone dead

[iron rapids]

That’s a given @bold kernel it’ll just take time for him to adapt

@wintry chasm sounds like my first tarkov raid

[wintry chasm]

sounds like my past 20 tarkov raids

[bold kernel]

sounds like all of my raids

ever

[gray mountain]

ok, the sks is actual shit

[iron rapids]

Scavs or the worst for me

[gray mountain]

shouldnt even have wasted a body armor on that run

[iron rapids]

It’s literally just a dice roll when they shoot you

[rain oar]

I'm still baffled that my first succesful PMC raid after the wipe was on Factory of all maps..

Like wat

[bold kernel]

is factory hard to play or what

[rain oar]

Smallest map

[gray mountain]

most amount of action in the shortest amount of time

[bold kernel]

tfw i've been told to play it

to l2p

[gray mountain]

cant loot without people finding you

yes

Its good to learn the game

[steady pilot]

@gray mountain see told you sks is shit

👌

[gray mountain]

but technically highest chance to die

[bold kernel]

so far

i only escaped once

and it was a run through cuz i found some nice scope in a crate and decided to instantly bank it

[gray mountain]

wasnt toz btw

[steady pilot]

@strange mural vudu, hendsoldt, 1p59

My main optic choices

[strange mural]

hendsoldt

hmmstve

what do you run in medium ranges then?

[silver dome]

scav with fal?

[steady pilot]

1p59, 2.5x prism, monstrum,

[strange mural]

scav can spawn with fal yes

[steady pilot]

@silver dome yeh thats why fal cheap on market

[silver dome]

fal good right?

[iron rapids]

@silver dome I had a scav with a VSS

[strange mural]

probably the best weapon you can spawn in with

[steady pilot]

Fal is bae

[strange mural]

it has amazing ammo

[iron rapids]

indeed it is

I’d say top 10 weapons

[steady pilot]

Fal is equivalent to m1a

M1a less recoil. Fal more ergo

[iron rapids]

@steady pilot not entirely

There you go

[steady pilot]

Yes entirely

[iron rapids]

Exactly what you I said was what I was going to say

[silver dome]

LOL fal is in the top 10? lmao ima run to exfil with this fucker

[strange mural]

nah

not worthg

[iron rapids]

But yes M1A is a lot better for a DMR role

[strange mural]

just use it

its scav one shot to chest

make that bank

[steady pilot]

It's worse actually

[iron rapids]

How so? Has higher accuracy and better recoil

[steady pilot]

Lower muzzle velocity, and you want higher ergo

[silver dome]

hey , while doing a pmc raid , can player scavs spawn in ?

[strange mural]

yes

[silver dome]

like

[strange mural]

they can always spawn in

[iron rapids]

Higher ergo for long range is redundant

[silver dome]

spawn in as a already there scav

or a brand new scav

[iron rapids]

If that’s the case no one would use snipers

[gray mountain]

new scav

[silver dome]

wtf

is there any way to kill every person on the map

[steady pilot]

No because it helps stamina while ads

[strange mural]

no

things will keep spawning

[gray mountain]

I think after a certain amount of time players run out

[iron rapids]

Scavs will

[strange mural]

player scavs and scavs

[steady pilot]

I literally snipe everyday for several wipea

[gray mountain]

but bots will keep spawning

[silver dome]

oof

aids

[strange mural]

pmcs only spawn at start

[silver dome]

yeah i know that

[steady pilot]

I can tell you the fal is a better DMR rifle

[iron rapids]

PMC’s won’t after they die

[gray mountain]

I mean a player scav wont spawn when there is like 5 min left on a woods

[silver dome]

any way to change from bear to usec?

[strange mural]

and pscavs arent supposed to spawn at the beginning but fuck it dood

[gray mountain]

they can barely make it to the other side of the map

[iron rapids]

@steady pilot I disagree deeply but to each their own

[strange mural]

pscavs wont spawn to a playerless session no

[steady pilot]

Recoil is a non issue if you are long range tap firing

[strange mural]

volkov restartinf your account

[steady pilot]

Ergo is more important

Recoil matters in close range cqb

Hence the meta

[strange mural]

losing stam sucks

[steady pilot]

^

Exactly so ergo better so you can keep on target

And muzzle velocity is very diffierent

M1a has slow rounds

[strange mural]

muzzle velocity is hjoog

[iron rapids]

Depending on the barrel yes

[steady pilot]

You have to correct much more

Even the long barrel is slow compared to fal

[iron rapids]

Since both use the same round

[steady pilot]

The speed is the round and the barrel

But the sa58 Barrow is better

Barrel*

[iron rapids]

They both use 7.62nato

[split vapor]

because you need to accept the rules

[steady pilot]

You arent listening

Ffs

M1a has like 780m/s

With m80

[bold kernel]

oh no

[steady pilot]

Fal is at 816ms

[iron rapids]

@bold kernel feel like I’m looking at a resident evil door loading screen

[bold kernel]

no

it's just me being a slithery snek at factory

[dusk cairn]

hey im new, anyone want to hop in voice and do some scav runs?

[steady pilot]

@white forge just look in discord settings?

Why are you asking

Us lol

[iron rapids]

I see that now, but I don’t know. Never had a problem taking follow up shots with an M1A at range vs the FAL in game

[gray mountain]

might just have bad eyesight

[steady pilot]

Do you shoot 300-500m?

[gray mountain]

I dont have that issue

[iron rapids]

200-400 woods and shoreline

[steady pilot]

Using this map, can you better describe your range

Red squares are ~100m

~50m yellow

[iron rapids]

Yea then I’d say about 200-300 then

[steady pilot]

Scaving interchange is the best

Afk loot

[iron rapids]

I shoot from across the river and from one side of lumber to the other

I second that

No one goes in parking lot in interchange

Tents with guns and bags with tool items

[steady pilot]

200-300m isnt too bad for m1a its manageable

[bold kernel]

wdym afk loot

[steady pilot]

But ruaf rocks to to douchebag rock and deadman to spine are where you want muzzle velocity

[iron rapids]

Maybe o should use a muzzle brake then

[steady pilot]

Suppressors help with muzzle velocity

[iron rapids]

But if I do that might as well use a mosin

Certain brakes do too

[steady pilot]

Sv98 is king sniping

[iron rapids]

I love my tanker breaker

[steady pilot]

.016 accuracy

[iron rapids]

But mosin Ha more velocity

[steady pilot]

899 vs 946m is a big difference, but is a non issue. M80 is much more detrimental on speed

M80 is slow and you need as much as possible

[iron rapids]

If I’m in woods and don’t have high ground in gunna want that suppressor on

Wonder if they’ll add subsonic rounds

[steady pilot]

Subsonic rounds are in game

They are called US rounds

Also there is no affect in sound from using a suppressed subsonic vs supersonic

This is not implemented yet

So it's just a trash round with a lot of drop

[strange mural]

JFC

i let a bear live

and then get duo ganked

ping fucked me this once

[acoustic timber]

whats the best 9x19

round

[gray mountain]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1jjWcIue0_PCsbLQAiL5VrIulPK8SzM5jjiCMx9zUuvE/htmlview?sle=true

use this

oi what gun is this

[acoustic timber]

m700

[split vapor]

r700

[acoustic timber]

wait

[split vapor]

what

remington model 700

[acoustic timber]

oh yeahj

[robust jackal]

m700 is the modded one from the trader

if i recall correctly

its called that

[split vapor]

huh

[gray mountain]

is it worth much? do I just run to extract?

[split vapor]

30k

[strange mural]

no weapon is really worth straight just extracting

[gray mountain]

alright

Is there anyway in the end screen to see if I killed a pscav or just a normal scav

[steady pilot]

Its 30k. With a 25k optic

And sounds Chad as fuck

Only way to tell a pscav is looking to see if there is a pouch slot.

AI scavs dont have a pouch slot.

[gray mountain]

yeah I knew that, was just wondering if there was something with the name of the scav or something

[steady pilot]

No

[gray mountain]

which button to zoom with scope

[steady pilot]

Alt or ctrl right click

Idk any more cause I rebinded to mouse 3 and 4

[bronze prism]

yeah i rebound to m3 as well

[bold kernel]

SA-58 BEL

any good?

[steady pilot]

Yes

[bold kernel]

nice

[hoary lion]

my stash is 50% full of quest/barter items.
I have 1.1m roubles right now, should i waste 1.4m for the scav box?

[steady pilot]

Grab a dustcover and optic of choice , some m80, and boom you got a gun that 1 taps chest up to lvl 4 and rng dice roll on class 5

[hoary lion]

i got loaded pretty quickly in inetrchagne

[steady pilot]

Scav junk box isnt a waste.

If you collect shit and are standard edition

[hoary lion]

well just 300k more

[bold kernel]

hmm

are shotguns any good in this game my friends?

[hoary lion]

well i collect shit cuz i know ill need it later

[steady pilot]

You can sell it back later if you need liquid funds

[hoary lion]

but it takes most of my space

[languid salmon]

Can you put rigs in the item case?

[vagrant mirage]

I lost insured stuff in two matches one yesterday one today

[strange mural]

shotties are shit

[bold kernel]

yes but lets say

i go up against tier 2 armor tops

[vagrant mirage]

does this mean I lost all of it or just the one the timer ran out?

[steady pilot]

@languid salmonanything goes in icase

[languid salmon]

Dank

[bold kernel]

@vagrant mirage it means someone took your insured item

[strange mural]

that means nothing made it

from that specific insure

[bold kernel]

yeah so shotties against scavs should be fine correct

[vagrant mirage]

yes ik but does that mean I lost all of my insured stuff or just teh stuff from a match that passed the 24h insurance mark

[bold kernel]

cuz i wanna do a dank play

[strange mural]

its the old one

that is basically the same as receiving insurance

[vagrant mirage]

oh okay

I was wondering because I dropped items in a bush in the middle of nowhere id be pretty surprised if someone found that

[silver dome]

what a fucking raid , so many grenades

[bold kernel]

do i keep insulating tape?

[strange mural]

just made it back to our pmc raid as scavs as a duo

pog

insurance babbey

and we wiped

[crisp urchin]

So I just found a gas analyzer. How much can I get for it?

Is it even a good item to sell?

[acoustic timber]

its like 45k on flea

i think

[crisp urchin]

FeelsBad. I'm not level 5 yet :/

[strange mural]

you need it fore a quest too

[bold kernel]

keep insulating t ape?

tape*

[dim swan]

https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Insulating_tape

[crisp urchin]

Omg, I nearly got my first M4. Killed two dudes with the mosin but died. Unfortunate

Would've been proper geared then too

[dim swan]

if your ever unsure on what to keep just look the item up on the wiki. It'll tell you what it trades for or if used for a quest

[lapis mauve]

quest page and hideout page tell you everything you need in a convenient picture. barter trades are slightly harder to look up

[steady pilot]

@crisp urchin that's the way she goes

[crisp urchin]

I would've been so loaded :( https://i.imgur.com/qvscCgG.jpg

[steady pilot]

Meh

And interchange run can literally double or triple what they had

[strange mural]

fucking jesus christ 9mm is fucking

SHITE

[steady pilot]

Told you @strange mural

[strange mural]

get pmc kills with a pistol

[young lagoon]

Five seven is your friend

Hand cannon

[steady pilot]

Take a five seven or glock with 50 rder, atlyn and 6b43 fort armor

👌 👌

I got it done it one raid

[desert hull]

P90 rushing B boys

[young lagoon]

Literally solod reshala with a five seven 2 nights ago

[desert hull]

@strange mural Im on now

[steady pilot]

Lol you think 3 mags is enough?

[desert hull]

yes

[steady pilot]

Oookay

[desert hull]

I'm running over low gear boys on factory

wym

[dense pine]

so, woods factory gate. it says "friendly scav/pmc" does that mean "duo partner" ?

[steady pilot]

And the endless scavs?

[desert hull]

I don't stay around for endless scavs

[steady pilot]

Oookayy

[steady pilot]

I just take a svd instead

[desert hull]

svd not as fun

[steady pilot]

Svd + okp

Take down other atlyn and fort armor boys

👌 👌

[desert hull]

I bought one more mag

be happy

[crisp urchin]

What's a good starter rig?

[desert hull]

micro rig

10k from ragman

maybe cheaper on FM

[steady pilot]

Or wartech maybe

Triton

[crisp urchin]

Ah, cheers boys

[strange mural]

turbo

uhh

do you wanna run with a pistol boye

[desert hull]

bro

[strange mural]

[desert hull]

sure

[strange mural]

ye alp is here too

[desert hull]

I will try not to P90 you

[strange mural]

just a sec

[desert hull]

ok

[rain oar]

You can P90 me all day though

[faint violet]

P90 can’t beat my 900mm of Stalinium armor

Heheheh

[steady pendant]

when your go to rig is micro rig even when youre lvl 34

🤔

[faint violet]

Big brain or small brain

[steady pilot]

not using avs or tactec

[strange mural]

or m2

[faint violet]

Or none at all

[steady pilot]

[hazy matrix]

What kind of solo runs helped y'all start in the beginning? All the streamers I watched that got me interested said Customs and Shoreline, but I don't have the armor or ranged gear to last in a fight on those. :/

[steady pilot]

Interchange

Scav and pmc

But that was back when it wasn't as popular

Shorline and interchange are your best bet for money/survival rate. Customs is merely questing

Once you can afford some class 4 and 5 armors and some decent rounds youll.be Gucci 👌

[faint violet]

just use USA rounds for 5.45

Or 7.62

Forgot

Had USA in the name must be good

[steady pilot]

No.

#beginners-assistance isnt the place to troll and give bad information my dude

[faint violet]

[silver dome]

what rounds should i use on the five seven?

[steady pilot]

!ammo

[tribal robin]

Official ammo table for Escape from Tarkov :

https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Ammunition

[silver dome]

thats confusing as fuck

just tell me which ammo is the best for fiveseven

whats the best of the 3?

[frosty crown]

So I unlocked the bear t shirt , is it not worth wearing tho cuz it shows to much arms ?

[main trout]

so i managed to sneak a FAL out when i escaped, and i love using it, but i've got the ole fear of losing gear so i will probably not use it for quite a while until i'm built up and more confident
should i just strip the parts off and sell the parts and the gun instead

[frosty crown]

Doesn’t mattter for camo?

[waxen forge]

If you aren't using strip and sell to Skier and rest to Mechanic....However don't be afraid to run gear. It comes and goes.

[faint violet]

^

Good advice

[main trout]

that's a fair point but since i'm still pretty new so i'm not very confident yet so i think selling might be my way to go, and just get the guaranteed mulah

[humble junco]

@steady pilot hey I know you

[main trout]

is that just running through trying to collect good loot and once you're full you just dip?

[waxen forge]

It can be

[humble junco]

Yah learn stash runs on shoreline

[tribal rose]

should I do the tetriz -bitcoin trade and sell the btc if I only want to get the max amount of cash for it?

[steady pilot]

@humble junco go away

[humble junco]

Hahaha

[waxen forge]

Have a goal. If it's loot then behave accordingly. If it's simply a loot/money run then passive, Avoid fights, be quiet. Get loot get out. Sell it.

[humble junco]

@tribal rose don't do Tetris Bitcoin

[steady pilot]

@silver dome it's not confusing. Look at the dmg. And the pen. You decide what you'd rather have

[humble junco]

Sell the Tetris it's worth more than the BTC

[steady pilot]

Typically the most pen is the best round.

For reasons.

[tribal rose]

trader or flea @humble junco ?

[humble junco]

Flea

[tribal rose]

gotcha

thanks my man

[humble junco]

Tetris is like 150k the BTC is about 90k

@thorn river don't need keys to make easy money

Yah

You can loot the 4 tech stores in IC

[waxen forge]

Interchange = Easy 200K or more per run. No keys needed

[humble junco]

Don't run shoreline, all the geared people are there

I forgot why though

And btw try and get BTC mining in your stash ASAP it's easy money

[steady pilot]

@humble junco ledx spawn and pestily cult following

[humble junco]

Fuck pestily man

@steady pilot supreme leader showed me the stupid shit he said

[steady pilot]

Pestily was good till he got into Nikitas circle and pushing his streamer nonsense crap on to nikita

[humble junco]

Yahv

Supreme leader also told me that he thought he was always right

[waxen forge]

Tetriz selling on Flea for about 115K. Bitcoin selling to Therapist for 115K. Same price. Instant payment with Therapist and no tax. Plus counts to "spent". @tribal rose

[humble junco]

And wouldn't listen to anyone else

[steady pilot]

@thorn rivertoo much

Of the wrong thing

But off topic

[real river]

so just to be clear if i play in offline mode i wont lose my gear if i die? i know i cant make any progress either just wanna try and learn a map before i play it

[humble junco]

He said that sniping is BS and then made a video about it, it's a long retarded story

[bold kernel]

wow

[steady pilot]

@real rivercorrect

[bold kernel]

turns out shotguns really are shit

[humble junco]

@real river no you don't and u don't use ammo either

[steady pilot]

Utilize offline as much as possible

[bold kernel]

can't even kill an ai scav from 5 meters

🤮

[slender magnet]

any other begginners wanna run custom a couple times in offline? idk the extract nor where loot is

[steady pilot]

Yes shot guns trash

[humble junco]

Yah use it to do EVERYTHING

@slender magnet can't do thag

[bold kernel]

i was trying to do a cheeky play @steady pilot

[humble junco]

That

[real river]

thanks guys

[humble junco]

Yah man :)

[slender magnet]

what lol

[real river]

maybe after a month of offline ill be able to play a big boy raid 🙂

[humble junco]

Offline is single player only

[slender magnet]

ohhh

[humble junco]

Yah it sucks

[steady pilot]

@real river no. Just learn extracts and like major spots

[slender magnet]

i dont wanna do a big boi raid yet

[strange mural]

they are thinking of making it multiplayer iirc

[slender magnet]

ive killed like 8 people so far

[humble junco]

Btw never play factory it's stupid, unless you wanna do pvp on a scav

[slender magnet]

ok lol

[steady pilot]

Factory for questing that's it

Scav on interchange

[real river]

yeah i think im gonna stick to figuring out interchange for awhile

[worldly swift]

factory isnt stupid you can get lots of gear from it

[humble junco]

Yah

[steady pilot]

Interchange is a great ma0

[slender magnet]

[steady pilot]

Map

[strange mural]

@half jackal @steady pilot turbo wants you to know hes clapping cheeks with his peepee

[steady pilot]

Fuck

[strange mural]

[desert hull]

@steady pilot I'm doing well with my 5 mags

[humble junco]

@worldly swift you can't get shit if you have nothing

[waxen forge]

Factory is only Gear map if everyone is dead. Higher probability of loot on Interchange with less risk

[real river]

but there is killer...

[humble junco]

Yah IC is a very good map

Soo you almost never see him

[steady pilot]

@real river protip stay away from middle

🤷

[strange mural]

killa isnt in the way of anything honestly

[waxen forge]

Killa in Middle. Avoid Middle = No Killa

[humble junco]

Ran 10 raids on IC last night saw him twice @real river

[half jackal]

i fucking wish killa would spawn more

[waxen forge]

Went to Middle twice

[humble junco]

You don't really see him

[steady pilot]

All the goodies are in tech stores, oli, idea, and goshan

[half jackal]

last 9 raids no killa

[tribal rose]

@waxen forge big F. Just sold it on flea. Will keep in mind for the next time my man.

[real river]

oh shit well thats fair

[humble junco]

Unless your looking for him

[slender magnet]

[half jackal]

all the goodies are tech stores/oli

[humble junco]

@slender magnet yah?

[slender magnet]

[humble junco]

Yah tech stores and learn the stashes

Bo

[slender magnet]

[waxen forge]

Middle mouse click to quick examine

[slender magnet]

[waxen forge]

Scroll wheel for changing speed of walk or Height of Crouch. Wouldn't rebind that

[humble junco]

You can't scroll wheel the buttons are better anyways

[bronze prism]

[slender magnet]

wooooow really okay ill rememberthat speed thing

[humble junco]

If you scroll to much your dead

[slender magnet]

yeah broken controls. doesnt ship

[humble junco]

Learned that from CSGO

[crisp urchin]

When I'm doing night raids sometimes I see dudes with green eyes. Doesn't that mean they're running night vision?

[bronze prism]

[craggy plinth]

[waxen forge]

Not yet

[slender magnet]

joking cuz im a nub

[bronze prism]

[humble junco]

Cheap level 4 helm? Hmm

@slender magnet find a map you like and learn it

[steady pilot]

@slender magnet I would branch out and try other maps you might like

But yeah if you know a map well it will benefit more

[humble junco]

Yah shouldn't he find a map he likes?

Yah

[steady pilot]

Map knowledge > gun knowledge

[humble junco]

Yah for sure

[humble junco]

oof

[real river]

hahaha gotcha

im just here to feed geared players tbh

know ur place in the ecosystem

[faint violet]

Feed them lead

[waxen forge]

My tip to you guys is reset expectations. Doesn't matter how many shooters you've played and how well you did at them. This isn't that. This is a STEEP learning curve and is brutal for new people. You will DIE a lot. You will think the game is broken and not know where you got killed from. You will be pissed. Experience fixes this but takes time. Be patient. Learn maps, learn ammo, learn what to keep/loot and what to sell. Be patient.

[gray mountain]

Rate my fun little setup

[humble junco]

yah for sure

@gray mountain wtf? what level are u

[gray mountain]

I agree Budracin, played a lot of shooters before, but aint nothing like this

10

[humble junco]

yah

ok um what map is that shit for?

[waxen forge]

@gray mountain Take off the helmet and throw it away

[gray mountain]

woods

[humble junco]

yah that helmet ass

[gray mountain]

yeah ik

[half jackal]

killa is kinda far from all the good loot

[waxen forge]

Won't stop rounds and you can't hear shit

[humble junco]

and the gun not the best either

[gray mountain]

cant even have headsets

[waxen forge]

No gun is damn good

[humble junco]

woods is a longer range map

[real river]

what are headsets even for?

[humble junco]

to hear

makes the sound quality crisp af

[silver dome]

what does the antique vase go for

someone answer asap plz

[faint violet]

It melts your ear

[real river]

do they amplify sound then or something?

oh

[half jackal]

yes

[silver dome]

how much does the antique vase go for

[faint violet]

it literally makes your ears explode

[half jackal]

Makes footsteps louder

[gray mountain]

I find woods to be like medium range in the parts around where I ususally go. So hunter works well, might swap the sight tho

[faint violet]

Everything*

[half jackal]

makes gunshots louder, you can hear farther

[waxen forge]

61K

[silver dome]

[waxen forge]

The hunter is a damn good weapon. I'd use the OKP-7 optic or a PSO not that cobra but I hate the cobra optic.

[humble junco]
