beginners-assistance

[gray mountain]

looked at every shelf and every toolbox

at OLI

[waxen forge]

Ollie plus tech stores, plus storage room behind Idea office

[sand apex]

Try tech stores

[steady pilot]

@sand apex did you even read my chart

[waxen forge]

Isnt' a spawn every raid thing though..some rng

[ember oak]

think im gonna stick with sks

[modern steppe]

is the m855a1 round drastically worse than the m99

[sand apex]

The fact that the sks is good doesn't man there aren't better guns

[steady pilot]

@ember oak read my chart and buy the vepr km

Its literally 12-13k

Sometimes 10k

[lapis mauve]

855aq is 31 pen, 995 is 53 pen

[ember oak]

a vepr

[sand apex]

The 136, NOT the 209

[steady pilot]

Yes.

[ember oak]

they shoot the same bullet

[sand apex]

209 is garbage

[half jackal]

vepr = adar

[ember oak]

i dont understand wtf this meanshttps://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/521626362251837451/652304054294282271/unknown-146.png

[steady pilot]

Verpkm/ vpo 136 both shoot 762x39

@ember oak lmao how

Use the thing between your ears for a sec

[modern steppe]

so should i just spend damoney on m995 rounds

[split vapor]

no

856a1

[steady pilot]

@modern steppe no m995 is noteworthy

Not worth

Too expensive now

[modern steppe]

aight thank you

[bold kernel]

omg

[steady pilot]

Just use m80 guns

[sand apex]

Or the mp7

[bold kernel]

i've been putting my sights on handrails

[steady pilot]

Overpriced

[bold kernel]

that's why they were so shit

lmao

[gray mountain]

@ember oak just look at the mods, and buy them on the flea

[sand apex]

Ap sx is good stuff

[modern steppe]

im using da adar if it makes a difference @steady pilot

[gray mountain]

equip them on a vepr 136

[steady pilot]

Mp7 cost literally 150k with gun bullets and mags and literally goes through everything in 5mins

Lmao

[sand apex]

It's a fun gun

[gray mountain]

I found 58 AP SX on a guy

[steady pilot]

It's fun sure

[gray mountain]

sold them for 499 a piece

[steady pilot]

So is p90

[gray mountain]

good money

[steady pilot]

So is mpx

But hardly that effective

[sand apex]

Yeah p90 is good too

[steady pilot]

I laugh at SMG users when I wear class 5

Just like thanks bud

[sand apex]

Cheaper ammo but not quite as good against armor, mags take forever to pack

[gray mountain]

Yeah, I feel like smgs are for factory only

where people might not bring as heavy armor

[sand apex]

I use them on labs

[ember oak]

@steady pilot how do i get scope on thishttps://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/521626362251837451/652304054294282271/unknown-146.png

[robust jackal]

get a bastion dust cover @ember oak

[frank beacon]

underground part of interchange is like a fuckin

maze

[robust jackal]

nah you will get used to it

[bold kernel]

is the bastion dust cover some sort of meme

[steady pilot]

@ember oak you want a scope not a reddot?

[robust jackal]

it's easier than it seems @frank beacon

[bold kernel]

cuz i can't tell if i'm being made fun of lmao

[ember oak]

@steady pilot kind of the point yeah

[robust jackal]

i go there a lot for expensive guns

[ember oak]

the op sks can use the cheap scope

[steady pilot]

Like this?

[ember oak]

jesus

wtf

[steady pilot]

The scope that cost 13k?

[gray mountain]

mfw when scope is like 1/3rd of the price

[bold kernel]

@steady pilot wait can you actually attach a grip to a vepr

[ember oak]

the pso 1m121 or whatever

[bold kernel]

like vertical or horizontal

[waxen forge]

Like a camera body and lens. Lens often more expensive

Or GPU that cost 900 vs. 400 for CPU

[steady pilot]

I literally made that build as a 20k cheap option. The arrows pointing to the spots shows that you CAN attach a grip or reflex with those parts IF you want

But then it's not 20k

[bold kernel]

yes but how the heck

[steady pilot]

Ak100 handguard bro

[bold kernel]

i looked on flea market

oh om

[steady pilot]

Prapor lvl 1

[bold kernel]

ye i'll check it in the morning

[lapis mauve]

You can linked search the gas tube, anything that fits an ak fits a vepr km

[steady pilot]

^

[lapis mauve]

So if you pick up an akm or akmn you can switch over mods after raid

[steady pilot]

@ember oak the op sks that fits a scope is a shitty peice of trash nerfed platform. An ak103 is the same price on the market and can do everything better

Use that if you want the pso

[faint violet]

no idea if this m4 is good

just duct taped a suppressor to it

[steady pilot]

Its basically stock with a suppressor

[sand apex]

Not great

[faint violet]

ok thats fine with me

[waxen forge]

But at the same time for the new guys. Don't get too wrapped up in the gear. Learn the tactics and such. An experienced player with an ok weapon and good ammo is going to beat an inexperienced play with the decked kit the majority of the time.

[steady pilot]

^

[sand apex]

Ak variants with N in them, the 74m, and the 100 series all have the ak dovetail mount

[versed swallow]

can someone teach me the way

[modern steppe]

do people trading gp coins and shit for high value items actually work

[bold kernel]

@waxen forge but you cannot gain experience with bad gear

[modern steppe]

i see people trading gp coins for paracords (going for 100k)

like do people actually trade that

[steady pilot]

@modern steppe just ignore barter trades

[modern steppe]

ah ok

[sand apex]

Most trades are people scamming

[steady pilot]

It's all bull shit scams

[modern steppe]

but do they work

[steady pilot]

For dum dums

Yes

[waxen forge]

The hell you can't @bold kernel

[sand apex]

The market shows an inaccurate estimate of value for the trade

[ember oak]

both theese combos are about 45k

[bold kernel]

ye u can't

[ember oak]

from market

[steady pilot]

@ember oak I told you to buy an ak103

[waxen forge]

You can totally gain experience with bad gear?

Experience is experience

[steady pilot]

And put the pso scope on

[bold kernel]

you'll just die instantly

[waxen forge]

I can beat a noob with a shit weapon and good ammo 70% of the time because I know what I'm doing.

[steady pilot]

The ak103 and OP sks are both 30k on market. The ak 103 is better @ember oak

[bold kernel]

especially given that you have no previous experience

[sand apex]

Best to find one or two builds your comfortable with and try to stick to them for awhile

[bold kernel]

yes you know what you're doing

that's the issue

[waxen forge]

I once was a noob and used shit gear because THE FLEA DIDNT EXIST

[steady pilot]

^

Flea made game too easy

[faint violet]

anyway to improve the m4

[steady pilot]

#Remove flea #remove labs

[bold kernel]

the better your gear the more room for mistake you have

[ember oak]

@steady pilot doesent the vepr km shoot better bullets?

[waxen forge]

And there are guys that played for years before me and gained experience with shit gear.

[steady pilot]

@ember oak they all shoot 762x39

[bold kernel]

yeah cuz that's how everyone played like

lol

[steady pilot]

I feel like youndont read

Explaining myself 3 times over is a big ree for me

[waxen forge]

yea I'll leave it where it it.

[bold kernel]

yeah just tell me

what experience do i get from not being able to penetrate armor with my pistol

expect for use better gear

i'll go slepe now

[steady pilot]

Dont use pistol use veprkm

[waxen forge]

You can kill people with your pistol if you played tactical and got position

[steady pilot]

Same price

[waxen forge]

But I'm not saying pistol

You can buy a rifle...

[bold kernel]

well that's what shit gear is for me

a pistol

rifle is already godlike lmao

[waxen forge]

I'm just saying all the new guys get sucked into wanting the decked best shit and you don't need it to play.

[bold kernel]

ig i'm playing the game wrong

[half jackal]

run scav - use that gear for pmc runs

die

run scav

use that gear for pmc runs

(use better ammo)

die

[bold kernel]

ye still gotta buy armor

[half jackal]

you dont have to

everything under level 4 is kinda meh price/performance

[bold kernel]

ain't gonna do shit with that styrofoam scav armor man

[steady pilot]

Protip

Dont get shot

[half jackal]

and armor only protects against scavs

[waxen forge]

I can run 5 raid right now and come out with loot wearing no armor

[steady pilot]

[waxen forge]

May not make it out of all 5 but can make it out of I'd say 3 of the 5

[bold kernel]

define loot

[waxen forge]

Knowing how to run with no gear

[bold kernel]

also what map

[waxen forge]

200K in shit from Inerchange

[ember oak]

what is best

[waxen forge]

Or a bit less from Customs

[half jackal]

I just ran an MBSS with a pistol on IC for a quest and came out with 550k

so

[ember oak]

@steady pilot

[steady pilot]

The ak103

Why are you putting a gri0

Grip

[ember oak]

because less recoil

[half jackal]

1-3% less

[ember oak]

yes

[versed swallow]

can someone be kind enough to carry me in a raid and teach me the way?

[robust jackal]

lvl 5 rig ftw amazing protection for cheap

[ember oak]

and it looks nice

[bold kernel]

lmao that grip makes those weapons look like turds holy shit

[steady pilot]

^

Kinda

[half jackal]

yeah dont use that grip

[robust jackal]

also got a Altyn

[half jackal]

RK4 is best price/performance

[ember oak]

wtf is altyn

[robust jackal]

stronk

russian

helmet

lvl 5 visor and helmet

[steady pilot]

aesthetic

[robust jackal]

i have 3 ak-74m

so cheap and easy to find

one ak 103

[bold kernel]

i'll try to git gudder this weekend but now i shoild rly slepe

[robust jackal]

[split vapor]

ryan bad

[robust jackal]

ryan is a gud boi

[bold kernel]

gn guys thanks for not getting sick of my shit

[split vapor]

[robust jackal]

yes

ryan is best asshole i ever met

❤️

[steady pilot]

[robust jackal]

we need moar like him

[steady pilot]

Hoes mad cause they cant handle the truth

[waxen forge]

https://tenor.com/view/cant-handle-the-truth-gif-7916035

[robust jackal]

Altyn took a shoot and bounced didn't even dmg it

[modern steppe]

broo

[robust jackal]

ryan licks everything

[half jackal]

i like when killa shoots ur arm

[solemn rampart]

oh my FUKING GOOOOD this is the second time i was bugged and couldnt shoot because of it and i had some pretty good gear on me. i tried to fix it but i left instead of quit game so i cant go back in. woooooo

at least i had a flash drive and 1g phone in me prison wallet

[faint violet]

f

[ember oak]

got it cleaned up now

[robust jackal]

most bugs yet to happen to me

only one that happened once was the scav loot bug

[stone surge]

@steady pilot Well I have been rolling all day with the m1, but that gun is absolutely disgusting to use due to the cms bug 😦
I think about 60% of my runs my CMS kits just don't work and apparently it's tied to the gun, there's some reddit topics about it aswell rn 1-2days old

[robust jackal]

where you can only transfer the items you spawn in

happened once

and that was the most annoying thing so far

[desert hull]

im back @robust jackal

if you want raidos

[mystic cliff]

this is a horror game

[robust jackal]

it is

@desert hull maybe later taking a break played all day

[desert hull]

ok

[half jackal]

@mystic cliff @robust jackal horror game https://streamable.com/rk62n

[mystic cliff]

thought it was just a mannequin in the first half. what the hell is that

[half jackal]

mallsquatch

[robust jackal]

man

i jumped so many times out of my chair first few days

scary af

[faint violet]

Yes

[robust jackal]

GUNS ARE SO LOUD

[mystic cliff]

[robust jackal]

as they should be

[gilded ridge]

My first day playing today. Gunshots still startle me xD

maybe I should lower my volume? its currently at 100 xD

[half jackal]

i think im 500 hours in

[robust jackal]

@half jackal what the actual fuck did i just watch

[half jackal]

and gunshots sometimes scare the shit out of me

[robust jackal]

THATS A DEMON

he was possessed

the demon was inside him

KILL IT WITH FIRE

[half jackal]

dude i giggled like 2 minutes straight when i watched that happen

[mystic cliff]

ive done one scav run and im still shaking

[half jackal]

had to clip it

[robust jackal]

i know the feeling

the immersion and atmosphere in this game

is insane

play factory enough and you will get used to being shot at

heh

[mystic cliff]

i might just do that. been trying to learn customs map but get turned around all the time

[robust jackal]

get used to die though

factory is brutal

it's a cod map

[half jackal]

imo learn IC asap

[mystic cliff]

interchange? better starter map than customs?

[half jackal]

yes

like 10x better loot

[mystic cliff]

noted

[half jackal]

10x less chokepoints

you can go from any part of IC to any other part by going through parking lot/basement

[mystic cliff]

yeah it seems like im always running along a wall is custom

in*

thanks faolanth

[half jackal]

spend 30 minutes running around IC to get a general idea of the layout

offline

[mystic cliff]

gonna look for a map first lol

[robust jackal]

wiki

is bae

[frank beacon]

interchange cucking me now

before i was doing the quest i found gas analyzers left right and center now they've all vanished

[robust jackal]

that's why i told you to keep it

murphy's law

never

NEVER

fails

[gray mountain]

I forget

is this good?

[lapis mauve]

Most sights are personal preference

[gray mountain]

Im talking more like, is it cluttered and or have some weird reticle

[steady pilot]

@gray mountain there are like 4 reticle options

You can change some reticles on some reflexes

[languid halo]

ikm new someone help me learmn the game plz

👍

[steady pilot]

#521628660298678283 @languid halo

#sherpa-info

[languid halo]

thats stupid

but whatever

[gray mountain]

wait delta

quick question

[lapis mauve]

Wiki has the reticles for that sight

[gray mountain]

http://prntscr.com/q6w2pt

isnt that supposed to work?

I can build it in the preset

but I cant attach it now

cant even see it in the modding tab

[steady pilot]

You need me4 adapter

For old generation aks

To attach buffer tube

The akts buffer tube only works on ak100 series AKs also

[gray mountain]

this tho

is the preset

and I dont have the me4 there

[steady pilot]

You may not have examined it

[barren obsidian]

hey, im like brand brand new to tarkov and have no idea what im doing, can someone help me out

[steady pilot]

@gray mountain I see it...

[gray mountain]

?

[steady pilot]

The me4

It's the first thing there.

[gray mountain]

yes

but I can attach the akts on there as well

2 steps to the right of the me4

without using the me4

[steady pilot]

It's a bug

[gray mountain]

damn

[grand crow]

For customs should I just hang around at spawn and wait for a few minutes? I always die if I go anywhere else

[robust jackal]

customs

is 8/80 i feel like

you either go like a lunatic

[obtuse nymph]

I just did 1200 dammage to someones armor with buckshot, is that normal?

and i didnt kill them

[robust jackal]

or you use your 45 min

in that raid

[grand crow]

8/80? What do you mean by that

[robust jackal]

extremes man

you either rush other ppl spawns crazy so they don't rush u

or u play extra careful

but u really don't wanna stick close to ur spawn for too long

cuz ppl know spawns

and rush them for easy early kills

[grand crow]

Thanks

It’s taking a while to get to level 5 for flea

[frank beacon]

just murder a bunch of scavs on factory

[grand crow]

Okay I’ll give it a go

[robust jackal]

also

[grand crow]

What weapon would be good for factory? Would a SKS still be ok

[mental lodge]

no

[robust jackal]

storage/customs building/dorms/gas station are really pvp heavy areas

[mental lodge]

shotgun

[robust jackal]

so watch out

[mental lodge]

ak or m4

[robust jackal]

any automatic weapon with good ammo

[steady pilot]

@grand crow veprkm best factory gun for 13k

👌

[grand crow]

Yeah about dorms I need to get there for prapor pocket watch

[steady pilot]

Pocket watch is in the tanker in construction

[modern steppe]

this game pisses me off sometimes man

200k just disappeared

[grand crow]

I thought gotta get the key from dorms?

[steady pilot]

You can buy the key you need

[frank beacon]

dont take a vepr on factory wtf

[steady pilot]

Lmao you need to gitgud if youndont think its good

[grand crow]

VeprKM is the one that shoots 7.62?

[frank beacon]

yikes

[steady pilot]

It's like taking a pistol but instead it's a reliable rifle

[frank beacon]

a vpr over an ak or a shotgun on factory

[steady pilot]

Im.sorry who didnt know they could buy salewas for their quest.

You just said AK.

[robust jackal]

ryan bulli is gud

[frank beacon]

i dont do tasks because im always on factory 😬

[steady pilot]

Veprkm is an AK

?????

[frank beacon]

yikes

[robust jackal]

bootleg ak

[steady pilot]

Civilian ak

Full auto is for chumps

Full auto cost twice the cost

[frank beacon]

yeah have fun getting sprayed in ur face on factory by full auto

[steady pilot]

Veprkm comes back cause no one wants a 13k 4x5 rifle

I tapfire faster than people full aut9

[robust jackal]

yeah but ak's are cheap too

[frank beacon]

nice macro

[robust jackal]

so for someone with a less trigger happy finger

not bad

[steady pilot]

People take pistols

It's just a better pistol for same cosr

Cost?

[desert hull]

is delta still reeing about pistol usage

[steady pilot]

Yeh

[desert hull]

⛔

btw

@half jackal get wrecked nerd

[steady pilot]

Hotel Oscar Echo Sierra Mike Alpha Delta

[desert hull]

my survival is getting a chub

I think I can say that on television

@steady pilot what gun should I bring

interchange

[steady pilot]

With that shit lol?

[desert hull]

shit?

[steady pilot]

Uhh whatever want

[desert hull]

[steady pilot]

Not bad shit

[gray mountain]

and I did fine

[desert hull]

trying to kill people good

real good

[gray mountain]

didnt find any fucking gas analyzers

oi I just did interchange with this

but still

[desert hull]

what in tarnation

[gray mountain]

🙂

[mystic cliff]

banana clip

[desert hull]

its pretty cute

ngl

[gray mountain]

I made it as a meme once

[frank beacon]

ssh worthless helmet

[desert hull]

ssh is not worthless

[frank beacon]

sike

say it

[desert hull]

costs like

[frank beacon]

say sike

[desert hull]

pennies

[frank beacon]

wear pmc baseball cap

[desert hull]

and will save you from scavs one tapping your thick ass skull

[frank beacon]

baseball cap gives +5 evasion

[gray mountain]

I actually went in there without a helmet

I just grabbed it off of a corpse

[desert hull]

crazy man

brings a broken PP-19

with no helmet

[frank beacon]

cool looking gun though

[gray mountain]

I only killed one pmc tho

rest were pscavs/scavs

[desert hull]

Skier says this in one of his logs

@steady pilot

who is tarkov's writer

[steady pilot]

[desert hull]

I want to kiss him on the lips

we need more memes in tarkov lore

[gray mountain]

I also have this

real proud of this one ::)

[mental lodge]

I suck so bad lol

lol nice lillen

Im decent but need to get better

[desert hull]

@gray mountain at least is not glock 18

[gray mountain]

true

[frank beacon]

Ap rounds that glock melts

[frank beacon]

the fa one

[gray mountain]

Yeah I run Pst_gzh

so its alright

should really get some ap rounds tho

for my saiga as well

[desert hull]

Delta give me a loadout

gun wise

cant use M995 that shit expensive

thinking FAL

or AK74

but probably FAL

[desert hull]

cease

[grand crow]

Man I get mad anxiety before a raid

[steady pilot]

A real man would take that gun. True test of skill

[gray mountain]

vepr is fun tho

[robust jackal]

found a 1p59 on interchange

[gray mountain]

1p59?

[steady pilot]

Kmz 1p59 3-10x scope

[gray mountain]

you use that as a sniper delta?

ah, 3-10x

[steady pilot]

Fuck yeah dude

[desert hull]

yes with that 0.6 accuracy

[steady pilot]

Not past 300m no

Still better than an sks

[desert hull]

bruh

tapco SKS nice

[steady pilot]

[desert hull]

fight me

[steady pilot]

.07 accuracy nice?

Ok

[desert hull]

listen

if I shoot 5 times

it will make up for inaccuracy

[gray mountain]

lol

[desert hull]

perfect philosophy no downsides

[desert hull]

is the SKS this shit irl

or is BSG memeing

I thought it was a pretty viable self loading rifle of its time

[steady pilot]

Oldie

But goldie

[desert hull]

if someone killed you and saw that

"eww I stepped in shit"

[gray mountain]

Well imagine pmcs dying to my saiga

[gray mountain]

whats that

[desert hull]

👌

[gray mountain]

m700?

[steady pilot]

M1A

[gray mountain]

ah

I found one of those when I was around lvl 3

[gray mountain]

died the first raid

[steady pilot]

[gray mountain]

No need to go that overboard turbo 🙂

mine is still relatively cheap

[bold kernel]

I get mad anxiety when I find a poggers gun and have to get to extract

[gray mountain]

yeah

[bold kernel]

Found 2 m4's in my playtime and died with em both times KEKW

[gray mountain]

Like oh shit, this corpse had a geared m4? better run to extract! and then someone bushcamps near the water in woods and kills you

[bold kernel]

Exactly

[gray mountain]

toz or mosin?

[desert hull]

toz with mosin stock

[gray mountain]

lol

[desert hull]

use slugs

[gray mountain]

anyways, off to bed

gl

[desert hull]

ez pocket rifle

[steady pilot]

Nobody appreciates ak

[bold kernel]

I love the AK because it's the only gun I get to play with

[steady pilot]

Nobody respects ak

[desert hull]

first two traders maxed

the rapist and paper

next target

skeeter

[bold kernel]

He was a skier boy, he said see ya later boy

Do you fellas recommend grinding quests when you're new? I find some of them to be extremely difficult and tedious

[desert hull]

yes

[steady pilot]

No

[warped pawn]

yes'

[bold kernel]

[All because I'm bad, ofcourse]

[desert hull]

gives you something to do and trader levels are important

[steady pilot]

Focus money first.

[desert hull]

skip quests that blow early

[warped pawn]

Here's the thing

[steady pilot]

Only do quests if its not out of the way

[desert hull]

if your money drops below 500k focus on money

[warped pawn]

When you go into a raid, you should never just do a quest

[steady pilot]

If you focus quests it's kinda how you die

[warped pawn]

rarely*

never say never

[desert hull]

y'all weird

[warped pawn]

lets say you're going into interchange for a quest

[bold kernel]

I've been trying to get that suitcase thing in customs/factory done

[desert hull]

most ppl use the idea that you go into a raid looking to do 1 quest before you leave

[warped pawn]

interchange is a hugely profitable map

[bold kernel]

And let me tell you

I'm fucking suffering

[warped pawn]

so doing a quest on interchange is very good

[steady pilot]

Yeah you can ignore my playing for 8 wipes for advice

[desert hull]

delivery from the past is hard at first

what works for you may not work for others tho homeboy

[steady pilot]

I'm literally giving him the struggling noob way to approach it

But ok

[desert hull]

[left vapor]

whenever you have to do a quest on interchange, go past the looting spots, 100% worth

[bold kernel]

I am the definition of the struggling noob

[warped pawn]

Focusing on money isn't the best because then you'll be lvl 10 with 1,000,000 rubbles and be missing out on all the gear you would've unlocked by leveling

[desert hull]

how do you guys store all of your creamy subtance

[warped pawn]

Who cares if you have money when you cant buy anything useful with it

[desert hull]

Im running out of space

[steady pilot]

I said focus money firet

First.

[bold kernel]

Are the looting spots just the 2 main stores to the left and right of the building?

[left vapor]

place it on the market and then cancel it @desert hull

[desert hull]

@bold kernel the whole building is loot

[steady pilot]

So you can put easier pressure on quests

[warped pawn]

Getting money and questing aren't mutually exclusive @steady pilot

[steady pilot]

The better kit you can afford

[left vapor]

ragman will keep for you forever

[desert hull]

@left vapor I no trust

[steady pilot]

The better you can effectively do quests

[desert hull]

BSG fuck

[warped pawn]

You can get money and quest at the same time

[steady pilot]

Big Brain moves

Ok fuck

[warped pawn]

Take my interchange example for instance

[steady pilot]

🤷

I give u0

Up

[warped pawn]

?

So to answer the question

[steady pilot]

You're right. All good.

[warped pawn]

Yeah, focus on quests, but always be on the lookout for loot

I always do my scav runs through 2-story dorms

Consistently 100k rubbles per run

Hideout items go for insane prices on flee

just learn what to pick up

[frank beacon]

Im going to cry

[warped pawn]

If you're feeling cheeky try scavs on Reserve or Shoreline

[frank beacon]

all the pmcs were fucking decked. and i die. to. an ai scav. that walked down the hill. right at me. i had 1 bullet. in my chamber. and missed.

[steady pilot]

@bold kernel might help you with your future quests

[warped pawn]

[robust jackal]

44% survival rate kappa

[desert hull]

@robust jackal

[frank beacon]

im about to cry

[desert hull]

get fucked nerd

[robust jackal]

not ur first wipe

unfair

[desert hull]

is like

second real wipe

only got to lvl 28 or so before

[warped pawn]

So I got my own question: Why does no one use HP ammo

[bold kernel]

How in tarnation

[robust jackal]

i got the game for almost 2 weeks now

[desert hull]

HP has no armor pen @warped pawn

have to leg meta

[warped pawn]

I've heard its always better to follow one extreme or the other

[desert hull]

it is

[warped pawn]

But BS ammo is in the middle

[desert hull]

BS is on the end of the spectrum

full armor pen

[robust jackal]

rip ammo

kappa

kills anyone on 5 shots to the leg

[desert hull]

ppl use no pen/high flesh damage ammo on low caliber guns

[warped pawn]

OH

I see now

I was using Igolnik as my reference

[steady pilot]

545 BS is literally the best ammo you can use

[warped pawn]

but you have to craft that

got it

[steady pilot]

Igolnik is garbage

[warped pawn]

Killed a fully geared guy on shoreline using it yesterday lol

Thought it mustve been good

[steady pilot]

2 bullets for head and 3 bullets chest and 545 bs can do it better

[warped pawn]

Damn

That's crazy

[steady pilot]

That's cause its 37 dmg

And takes a dmg reduction roll

[warped pawn]

So near the late game, it's better to focus on higher pen ammos?

[bold kernel]

Are wipes scheduled?

[steady pilot]

Igolnik will more likely get you killed over 545 bs

[warped pawn]

got it

So I should just keep using my BP ammo?

[robust jackal]

depends SNB is meh compared to 7N1

and SNB is way better pen

[warped pawn]

You talking about the sniper cartridges?

[lapis mauve]

Yes

[frank beacon]

im literally begging i get back in the raid i just died in

[lapis mauve]

For 545 use anything that starts with b (bs is best)

[frank beacon]

[warped pawn]

Idk I just watched a Pestily ammo video so now I'm just analyzing all the ammo ive been using

even tho its outdated

[steady pilot]

Ugh pestily

!ammo

[tribal robin]

Official ammo table for Escape from Tarkov :

https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Ammunition

[frank beacon]

ugh delta

dont be rude to pestily 😦

[bold kernel]

ugh hyporian

[small perch]

Tbh i like pestily

[lapis mauve]

Use an up to date ammo chart like the wiki ballistics page, you usually want the highest or 2nd highest pen

[small perch]

He’s doing a lot for this community

Testing stuff around etc

[warped pawn]

His raid series has been enormously helpful

changed my whole playstyle

[steady pilot]

Pestily is not good anymore. Literally a bad influence for information to nikita cause hes in his circle and listens to him

[warped pawn]

my success rate has gone up like 10%

[frank beacon]

[small perch]

Good to hear @warped pawn

I mean, its all personal preferences !

But i dont mind watching pestily

[bold kernel]

If failing = succes then my succes raid should be somewhere around 95%

[frank beacon]

i didnt scav back into the raid i died in

Time to go commit neck rope

Ita over

[steady pilot]

Deadlyslob is like only respectable streamer cause he plays how it should be

[small perch]

Hahahah 😂 @bold kernel

[warped pawn]

I've watched so many guides from so many streamers

[small perch]

Yeah i like deadlyslob

Tbh just learn your own way, the way you want to play this game @warped pawn

[warped pawn]

I like agressive but my game knowledge is garbage so I can't really do that rn

[small perch]

Btw if anyone in here is new, and would love to have some help, dm me! I wouldnt mind helping out some new fellow tarkov player!

[steady pilot]

I never gave a rat's ass about how streamers played. Developed my own style and just learned information from wiki

[warped pawn]

It wasn't really the fact that his playstyle made me play his playstyle

he just said a lot of tips that led me to play more intelligently

like not running through the very obvious spots

[steady pilot]

That's fine

Also common sense

[warped pawn]

Common sense is hard to build on your own in a game like Tarkov

[neat spruce]

Hey all! What's Good? I just started to learn Woods and it seems like it's a good place to start using a sniper rifle & pistol combo. Any suggestions on a good entry-level sniper setup?

[warped pawn]

Tarkov is you die either 1 time or 20 times to change what you did

[boreal oriole]

how do i see voice channels?

[warped pawn]

it all depends on how good of a player you are

[steady pilot]

@boreal oriole #521628660298678283

[bold kernel]

I'll take you up on that offer tomorrow if you're still down by then! @small perch

[warped pawn]

@neat spruce Mosin w/ PU scope is the most entry-level option for snipers I could recommend from my experience

[steady pilot]

Mosin doesn't take a pso

[warped pawn]

Shoot which sight

PSU?

[steady pilot]

PU 3.5x

[warped pawn]

That one

[steady pilot]

You should just ignore using a mosin

Sv98 is 22k on market for immensely better platform

[bold kernel]

People told me it was poop because of trigger delay or something

[neat spruce]

Sv98? what caliber is that?

[steady pilot]

762x54r

[warped pawn]

¯_(ツ)_/¯ I just like the mosin cuz its the gun I first ran on Factory when I was a realllll pleb

Had a couple good hauls on interchange with Bramit

[bold kernel]

I think Mosin is really fun as well

[steady pilot]

Guess I'll have to bust out screen shots

[bold kernel]

But tbf I only ever play with ak74 or mosin

So I can't really compare with any other gun kekw

[warped pawn]

I recently picked up the AK too @bold kernel and it's really great

[neat spruce]

I can't find Sv98 in flea market @steady pilot, Does it go by another name?

[bold kernel]

sv-98

[steady pilot]

Cheap ak

[warped pawn]

I've seen a couple modded Vepr's as of late

Much difference compared to AK-74N?

(variant I use)

[quick moss]

semi auto

[desert hull]

@steady pilot

I hate not having that iron

[quick moss]

great gun, cheap, can kill people with good gear

[desert hull]

even if I have a scope

[warped pawn]

^

[neat spruce]

@steady pilot @warped pawn thanks for the sniper tips!

[desert hull]

delta

do you have access to a large stockpile of M1A irons

[small perch]

@bold kernel of cours !

[neat spruce]

Wow, that's significant'y better ADS with the SV

[warped pawn]

@steady pilot Is it really that cheap? Last I checked the SV was like 100k rubbles

[warped pawn]

Whoa

that's a crazy price drop

[steady pilot]

but i know nothing

dont mind me

[warped pawn]

: /

[desert hull]

yeah you're dumb

[warped pawn]

no one is doubting you dude

[desert hull]

anyway do you know where theres a warehouse of M1A irons

its for a friend

[steady pilot]

sv-98 has been >30k for weeks

[desert hull]

<?

[warped pawn]

I checked at the beginning of the wipe

never again

[neat spruce]

@steady pilot what about a pistol to run with it?

[neat spruce]

I have a TT from a Prapor quest.

[steady pilot]

so sv98 is 26k + 25k suppressor. Mosin is 30K + 40/45k suppressor

[warped pawn]

^ So yeah use SV

[neat spruce]

I just bought one

[warped pawn]

@neat spruce

[neat spruce]

It's really nice

[steady pilot]

take off the bipod

5 more ergo

and because recoil doesnt matter on bolt action.

[neat spruce]

Any recommendation on a Pistol to go with it?

[warped pawn]

Grach is pretty good

M9 if you have some spare USD

[neat spruce]

What about the 'ol TT?

[warped pawn]

Good on you for taking a pistol

I never do that

TT is fine

[steady pilot]

lul everyone bought out the cheap verpkms

but heres your pistol

[warped pawn]

I mean you wont really be killing people with TT

[steady pilot]

:D

[warped pawn]

TT is just the security in case you need to kill someone while you're running

Otherwise you should be shooting sniper

[neat spruce]

@steady pilot lol, verpkms as pistol, eh?

😄

[steady pilot]

762 ps is more reliable than a 9mm pistol :)

i rock 762 bp anyway

[warped pawn]

Costly tho you gotta remember

[steady pilot]

nope

[real river]

im lookin at the chart and having a hard time telling whats better, BS or BP for 5.45?

[warped pawn]

Pistol for ammo runs like 7k

a good secondary is probs 15-20k

[steady pilot]

veprkm is typically 9-13k

and again

i said extremely reliable

[warped pawn]

Still something you can avoid

Its preference

[steady pilot]

its not

[warped pawn]

...

dude

[steady pilot]

if you get pushed by a lvl 5 armor dude

you WILL die.

pistol will tickle

[latent dagger]

HI

[warped pawn]

Pistol is head taps

[steady pilot]

5head

[warped pawn]

Alright

[steady pilot]

you do you bud.

[warped pawn]

I'll let Sw_Delta finish because he knows best

[steady pilot]

ALl i do is snipe

[brazen owl]

Cheapest way to level Ragman?

[steady pilot]

evereytime i brought a pistol

it failed me

i started taking cheap veprkm builds

[quick moss]

just don't bring a side weapon and get good at sniping

[brazen owl]

pistol is for legs or head

[steady pilot]

no probelms dropping them

then

[brazen owl]

i have to use on my quest

i shoot ppl on legs

[real river]

ok didnt realize how expensive that is... what would you recommend for an affordable 5.45 ammo?

[steady pilot]

i yeet my AK in the bush

and grab their shit

get my ak back later

:)

[lyric storm]

Why can't i

Win in a PvP battle

[brazen owl]

stay prone

stay silent

[steady pilot]

i would not recommend any 545 unless BS, 545 is just not reliable caliber without good dmg/pen ratio

[lyric storm]

Bruh

I've been using 74s

Because I have a surplus of 5.45

[real river]

what would you recommend for starting out weapons then?

i just have a couple 5.45 guns is all

[small perch]

Sks/pp-19

[brazen owl]

vepr ak

that uses 7.62

[steady pilot]

regualr sks (not opsks), veprkm, vepr hunter

[real river]

okie ty

[steady pilot]

cheap and reliable.

[west warren]

can someone help me learn the extraction points for some maps

[lyric storm]

Which map

[small perch]

I like the pp-19 to start, because its not expensive, and it has pretty much no recoil

[west warren]

customs

[noble fog]

ap-20 or flechette?

[west warren]

or reserve

[neat spruce]

Are thread adapters needed for silencers?

[steady pilot]

if you want to use 9mm and not pen any armor be my guest

use pp 19

[frank beacon]

use veprkm over sks

vepr hunter over both

[steady pilot]

ak103 is a good alternative to neither sks or veprkm for 30k

vepr hunter is just silly with m80 rounds being so effective

[frank beacon]

yeah

did they just

make mosins less common on scavs

i remember first time i played last wipe almost every scav had a mosin it felt like

[real river]

PS ammo seems like ok ammo for SKS ya?

[frank beacon]

they replaced mosling scavs with hunter scavs 😳

yes use ps ammo for sks

[real river]

ty

[steady pilot]

@real river could use something like this isntead.

[frank beacon]

[real river]

@steady pilot ty man 🙂

[steady pilot]

abouts 30k

cause current vepr km price

rose

:(

the best build

god damn market just bad rn

[frank beacon]

i modded a vepr just now

probably a shit build but

i made it look cool 😳

[steady pilot]

aesthetic > stats

[noble fog]

do you guys prefer flechettes or ap-20 rounds? (sorry for reposting)

[lyric storm]

Bruh

[frank beacon]

uh

for maps like factory

flechettes

[noble fog]

ty ill give it a shot

[faint violet]

BRO game boots me off

I reload into the game

and my scopes dont work

get insta killed by a scav

👌

[steady pilot]

@desert hull since you was flexin earlier

[desert hull]

you just wait

[steady pilot]

[neat spruce]

Pro Tip: Hold down left-mouse after shooting a bolt action sniper rifle to keep looking down sight. Make sure your shot hits before you re-chamber a round.

it's easy to miss what happened if you just click and release.

[steady pilot]

yep

[frank beacon]

lol

[steady pilot]

think you uh, defeated the purpose of a vepr :P

[frank beacon]

yeah but it looks cool

[steady pilot]

absoutlely

[frank beacon]

thats all that matters

[steady pilot]

i mod it out similiarly, cause i use unironically

[frank beacon]

i think this is why im always poor.

this looks cooler though

[modern steppe]

sex

why do the pmcs look like heroin addicts

[frank beacon]

lmao

idk

[frank beacon]

wish they'd let us add facial hair or something

i want my guy to look like a viking

they do have that mustache tho

[modern steppe]

ugly stache

[frank beacon]

ye

[modern steppe]

i want hair also

[grand crow]

What should I bring to factory to just kill scavs and level up me character?

[modern steppe]

and non retard eyes

[grand crow]

Shotgun)

[frank beacon]

shotgun yes

[modern steppe]

[frank beacon]

mp-153

[grand crow]

I’m only trader level 1 at level 4

Trying to get flea market u

[modern steppe]

[frank beacon]

easy money

why not

[modern steppe]

is it easy rly?

[frank beacon]

but i regret only playing factory until recently because i dont know shit about other maps

[modern steppe]

ah yes

i know some abot most maps

[frank beacon]

i mean i know extracts but thats it

factory and customs all i play

[modern steppe]

i hate customs

makes me wanna puke

[frank beacon]
