one run i spawned in with a labs keycard
so i booked it to the extract as soon as i saw it
and on my way to the extract i got a psu and a flash drive from idea
We had a guy in here who spawned with a red key card a few days ago
I've spawned with all sorts of stuff as a scav.
Sadly a lot of the interchange loot has dropped in price heavily
Tank battery
@mystic pasture noice
Yeah I was like.... Annnnd I'm out
Yeah I'm like 8 days in now
It did yeah
i only got 2mill
Because a lot of stuff on interchange is needed for hideout and quests
That's why some barter items where way more expensive than they usually are
@open basin I had less than that yesterday
im just tryna make some money so i can get the lucky scav junkbox
my stash is so fucked
๐
Lucky scavjunkbox should be like 1.2 mil
life of a standard player
I remember the beforetimes
I have SO many bags in bags, I have a pilgrim with 2 scav bags and about 5 mbss in it
Where stashspace was limited and everything was full
And I always forget and just buy a new mbss
I don't have any backpacks anymore lol
i have 3 scav back in each other
Or rather I have a pilgrim and a beta
A week ago I had a stack of 8 trizips
But then customs happend
God do I hate customs
a berkut that has another berkut in it and a 3 mbss backpacks in it
One of my buds has like backpacks stacked 15 deep
He streamed it into our discord and I was like "wtf please just sell some"
Yeah it's free to take with you so there isn't really a point in not taking it with you
i have 8 MBSS bags
and like 2 that i lost in 2 raids lmfao
At some point you loose them
He does neither ๐
it's cuz i keep finding hdds in interchange
i only sell the shitty ones
like the t bag
and the sling
i get em when i spawn in it as my scav ๐
I don't get them Into my stash usually lol
Like bruh
Either I die as a scav or I leave with good gear
There's no Inbetween
I stopped bothering with anything below duffle
same
i still buy a sling sometimes when im feeling cheap and i dont wanna use my MBSSs
If I feel so cheap that I don't wanna bring a mbss I bring no backpack
i bring at least a sling cuz the alpha is so small
Because there's allways a abundance of backpacks in raids
and i dont wanna fill my rig with shit i dont need to put in it
im now mentally preparing myself into going to night factory to complete delivery to the past
A mich 2001, tactec, and gun. Best loadout. Earn your bags in game๐
tbf I should start, cos I basically always pick up a backpack lol
What actually goes in that?
Nice
im so sad that i lost my nice ak and mp5 trying to do the first part of delivery to the past
ah man, that sucks
Just buy veprkm from market for 12k and mod with prapor lvl 1. Gud ak๐
tbh most of my raids are done with a hunter ๐ but I do see people talking about the vepyrkm
noice
i still have an aks-74u, ak-74m and ak-105 in my stash at least
๐คข
I am VERY confused btw so earlier a player died in dorms, I assumed he'd died to a scav...I killed the scav, looted the player, got the tag, I just checked it in my inventory, the name of the killer has an underscore, so he was a player?
But I have NO idea where he was, cos I yolo ran through dorms and didn't get shot at at all
Yes it was a player. He was probably healing or dipped cause he didn't know he died
Yeah true
if they're in the game
Sv98 has one
nvm then ๐ก
i have a question tho
can i level my skills
like shooting and endurance
yes
while playing as a scav?
hmm
Your scav is separate from your player
Scavs have their own skills
Two different characters
Personally I hardly ever play as a Scav, as I want to level my PMC as much as possible
Pmc leveling is kinda ass imo
Leveling recoil control takes forever when using single fire weapons
And using full auto without recoil Controll is ass too
leveling recoil control with single fire isnt a thing

you have to fire tens of thousands of bullets
for single levels
Bruh how do you lvl up intelligence
you can't
Oof
ur a fucking dumbass
Getting dmg
God I love getting shot at
Ya can bring a grizzly and just stand in firs
I kinda used up all my grizzlys
Also scav runs at factory night is my new favourite thing
if uget a flashlight
then sure
tbh power leveling health vitality and stress is pretty safe if you have EOD
cuz u can just put a 3x3 medcase
in your gamma
no you cant lmao
you cant but containers inside of containers other than bacbags anymore
infinite space isnt a thing
gammas especially
Iโll give it a try now
when is the next wipe, its so hard as a newer player getting dinked by the best bullets in the game lmao
what helmet would u guys recommend thats gen 4, face shield, can use headset?
cant find one..
fast mt or airframe are level 4 and allow faceshield and headset
fast mt
Lvl 3 facesheild
@real river facesheild arent worth the money drop or money drop on the helmet either unless class 5+
or altyn
You are better off sticking to a Mich2001, altyn or no helmet
Most bullets will penetrate
Ends up being a money sink
Just my advice
Some will disagree
It will not
basically you can have a helmet with faceshield that stops bullets or you can have a headset
^
Barely stops bullets at that
if i think i will fight shotguns and pistols i will use lzsh, otherwise hat
I'd either run altyn or lshz
fuck me
strenght seems like such an op skill
too bad the only viable way is power leveling
they changed the container inside of container this patch @bold kernel

Found a terralab keycard should I sell it or wait for lvl 5 and sell on flea or keep?
Okay
sell it on flea for 200k
Yeah cuz itโs already 55k on trading

i mean just check it don't sell lmao
always trade in the order of
flea>thera>skier>mecha
Alright
unless u wanna level a traider ig
tfw i'm at 10k
- inventory value
tfw as scav kill some guy who has super good gear then just fucking dies one second later 
can't wait until i get my 200 bonus inventory cells
inventory management is killing me
@silver dome have you checked the wiki?
were do i get that from
Flea or scavs
ps ammo?
and gas tube from mechanic if you don't have it
what does the gas tube do
7.62x39
ps ammo
at prapor
uhh
what kind of question is that?
it's a gastube
gas goes through it
lol
it is a vital part of the gun
disable trades
always
banter trades are scams
@zealous swallow same for you
first thing u do when you get flea
disable banter
You need workbench in hideout to get a different modding screen, inspecting and dragging parts works
well idk where they get approximate prices off of
but for a "roughly 90k" storage box
i'd pay triple
@strange mural If you need a hand, give me ashout.
so
measuring distances
i have had this one thing that boggles my mind
because
bullet drop is based on distance
so if i zero to 300
@reef spoke I hit a headshot over 242 meters yesterday

my reticle should accomodate to 300m of bullet drop yeah?
@rich cloak
NIceeeee
Yeah @strange mural
because the bullet drop messes with my head
At 300m the bullet should right on your croashair
@strange mural
what rifle, what ammo, what scope?
Bullet drop is the gravity that pulls your bullet down
The father it flies the lower it gets
Mosin isn't great for sniping
One sec, let me see if I have the mosin stuff handy
but like, in egenral does zeroing accomodate to the bullet drop?
yeah mosin seems pretty all over the place
and the 3.5 isnt great in my opinion
@strange mural the zero changes the way the scope looks
Zeroing the scope means that you elevate the front end of you scope uupwards
pu is good scope, shush @strange mural
Mosin is more than fine for sniping.
wish pu was available for sks
@plucky goblet same.
Yeah but at the same time you could have a sv98 which imo is a lot nicer
100k
Anywho.
Tarkov each weapon is only zero'd to 1 ammo type per weapon.
FUCK
@bold kernel
@bold kernel find an RR?
I bought it yesterday
MY SCAV HAD IT AND I GOT KILLED BY A SCAV PLAYER

๐ก
how big is the difference in muzzle velocity of the diffrent ammos?
drago me too. icepick too.
@strange mural pretty large in some cases.
@strange mural depends on the ammo
I snipe with SNB but 7n1 is best
a lot more damage
I use 7n1 when I actually snipe
But int hat vid you can see how much shift there is depending on ammo.
Higher velocity = less drop right?
@strange mural wanna raid some reserve this evening?
@rich cloak not enough to matter
@lapis mauve yes
@lapis mauve generally speaking yeah
@reef spoke Allright thanks
Best velocity is ak-101 with m995?
@strange mural where are you from?
Noice
im fine on any ping though
Germany for me

HK 416 has higher velocity iirc
nice

This is the verticle string between 50 and 300m
This size scales with range. So at 300m you're gonna have about 1.6m of drop for a 50m zero , thats like aiming at the top of a players head and hitting his feet.
yeah so basically for most scenarios
bullet drop wont be a big thing
as long as you zero even a bit
I sniped 2 players on reserve yesterday which were using the fucking mounted grenade launcher

over zero chest hits is probably my way to go
hmm
yeah i understand the zeroing since i played games like Arma, squad, ro2, it just that the drop on tarkov still confuses me
is hipfire good in this game?
yes
@bold kernel extreamly.
its realistic
how
@reef spoke so you aim for the chest?
@rich cloak depends.
@bold kernel it's essential
i didn't know
@reef spoke because I'm allways torn
so if you point your gun at them
the bullets will hit
there wont be spread out of nowhere
^
Bullets do not leave the. Barrel straight
They don't do the cod bend
Theres an upward curve
@bold kernel what a fucking classic
@olive plover
Bullet drop in tarkov is really agressive, so dealing with things like angle shifts is a must.
Couple this with weapon accuracy, none standard zeroing depending on ammo, and a host of other factors can leave a hsooter lost.
svd good
@reef spoke do you have any advice/ insights on what the markings on the 1p59 mean?
Nothing for you to use ingame
yeah i was trying to hit a guy on the sniper rocks on the beach from under the sniper scav rock on woods, i used the 100m, 150m and 200m zero, and aimed at the guy standing center mass with SVD, but it seems to me that none of it hits, i was using Vudu on the SVD @reef spoke
@steady pilot is the pso the only sight with markings that help?
Essentially
@rich cloak
Yeah.
The 1p59 scope is set up to use the effect second focal plane optics have. That is keeping the reticle visually the same size while the target grows and shinks,
the brackets above the center chevron are scaled for a target, likely the torso, or head of a target.
The stadia to the left and right should be 10cm per 100m markings , allowing you to range off width.
The lower stadia are Bullet drop compensators calibrated to a given load, and offset to deal with parlax.
Or binoculars in general
saddly the fast range estimation method doens't work ont he 1p-59 as we can't adjust our zoom as needed.
do scavs on factory instaspawn?
the outer ring of the optic, is the 100's of yards your target is away if he fits those brackets
Feels amazing to have a actual sniper to ask 
Check out the " Automatic ranging telescope" or A.R.T for more ifno.
I'm not a sniper lol.
Think he meant the ones on the edge
Oh no markings In general
Just a hick in the woods who spend to much time on a calculator.
name is sw the sniper, but isnt a sniper
ironic
@reef spoke like I said a sniper 
Hey would anyone be willing to help out a beginner player ? I got 24 hours of gameplay only

GN
I've been up all night till 8Am and now 1 PM im back :D
oh
i just realised that the info that failed to show in your previous run
will be shown in the next one
that's neat
@olive plover one sec let me grab my map
its a bug kebab
and that explains all those times i claerly killed a player but it said i didn't
an annoying one.,
and then the next run it awards me a kill
when i do a run through
hmm
i'm having such shit runs on factory but it's literally the only map i know comfortably
i should try the saboteur out too
i always run into some tacticool usec m4 full modded silencer players
customs worse map
Range 381 if you're at the spot im thinking,
angle shooting, so -10% to acount for that
Dial 300, hold .5 M above point of aim.
(svd, 7n1 )
@olive plover
maybe a bit less than half a meter.

Also bullet inpact is pretty hard to observe
@olive plover if you want to roughly test your zero, shoot rocks to see dirt kick
Cant see where the shot lands except when i was shooting scav on scav island where it hits water
(dark spots are best spots to shoot, you might get an imapct decal)
I see

nini
if any newbies need some help drop me a dm
got fucked in a crossfire
im not good at the game at all but i can teach newbies some stuff
factory isnt really the best place to go imo
i don't know any other map
Go offline and learn them
learn together with others ๐
View wiki map on phone
Is there any way of not leaving the map when in the leaving area countdown thing?
No @vagrant mirage
I killed someone while he was extracting and he was geard af so Id like to take his shit
run in yoink and run away again
ye makes sense
Etc etc
kebab wanna play together?
so uh
@empty steppe region?
why cant i change press type on some keybindings?
EU
Which ones @strange mural
sure
rn i'm regaining shit
tried to change discard to double tap q
Not sure on that one because I have double tap Q to change between my canted red dot and a zoom optic so it should work.
just says unavailable
@vagrant mirage yeah that's just being a cunt ngl
i mean thermal is just big brain
^
Camping exilf with a thermal on daytime
Also big brain
There's so much shit going on
listening to podcasts while doing it lmao
My dude doing the emercom camp
@vagrant mirage you should go get on top of the big white roof above the trailers instead๐
where exactly? Which trailers
Wow
Can I not buy euros from any trader?
@gray mountain skier lvl 2
^
damn
Tasks...level traders....don't just live the Flea life
@reef spoke so what you are saying is that if I zero for 150 and my target is actually at something like 250 the bullet will hit only marginally lower?
@waxen forge this
YES
Im trying my hardest at finding a damn gas analyzer right now
I actually cant find one to save my life
the bullet drop isnt that noticeable 100m in
@gray mountain tech stores in interchange
@gray mountain interchange is your friend
interchange has good chance for gas analyzer
@gray mountain what stores are you running?
arent the stairs to the roof blocked or do you mean the small docking bay roof that goes just above the few truck trailers
Run entire OLI and the tech store next to it
I dont know where the other tech stores are/what they are called
The long white roof above the trailers
My best luck was at tech light the texho and idea storage
Scav targeting is such bs for some reason they can see me from the loading docs lmao
@vagrant mirage did you die?
what
nah
Heck
I killed 2 of them already but its just annopying
I checked that out in offlinemode already but it seemed like im easy to spot up there
http://www.gamemaps.co.uk/game/tarkov/maps/interchange_full2 can you show me a screenshot of where on the map?
its like if I want to camp the other exit if I stayed up on the broked bridge
Ill try that
Or you can hear them come out
Below you
And just do big sneak after you wait for them to run down ram0
Ramp

yup
Im lvl 7 so im using that as an excuse
Do whatcha gotta do to survive tarkov
People who complain just bitches you playing a viable way to play
@gray mountain
I got like 3 mil rubels already I just do this for fun cuz it feels really nice
Its so immersive to camp there idk why
Sorry for the quality 
Imagine being such a cunt that doing nothing entertains you 
@steady pilot that's just the ones I had luck with
anyone wanna do a run with me?
Not saying that's all of the spawns
...
is epic
Duh?
yes
Lillen are you us
OLI can spawn them right?
hmm
because thats mainly what I had been running before
Yeah
On the front shelves area
ye
Tech spawns better chance
how the fuck do I get more hits than what I shot?
fragmentation
?
bullet broke into pieces and each piece hitting counts as a hit.
Or tarkov stats are drunk...one of those things for sure
Could be overpenetration

is it possible to kill 2 people with the same bullet
Ask JFK
wow
Too soon?
whats the general opinion on the monocle sight
okp-7 i think its called
or as i call it
ruski reddot
i like it
@waxen forge I don't get it
Yes there is collateral dmg @empty steppe
yo guys
@rich cloak JFK died with a bullet through the head
Tower has vid of a collat
american president
He did yes
anyone got any decent usermade reserve maps?
@bold kernel wiki
How does it relate to overpenetration?

The theory was that Oswald couldn't have done it because he was also hit in the arm
They called it the magic bullet
It was a fragmentation joke
Ah that's the part I wasn't aware of
i wanna see tower's collat
i don't have a team
@rich cloak Check out the Movie JFK with Kevin Costner...all about the conspiracy.
no matter how much i look at a map i cant figure out where im going in factory
lost my blue labs keycard ๐ฆ
f
What
Boi
walking in circles
scav spawning with keycard is crazy shit
forever
Run the map offline like twice and you'll have it down
@empty steppe wanna know what's more crazy?
huh
dying to a player scav when you have random items
should have used my silenced gun for this run, people and scavs just swarm you on that map
lol, true
@gray mountain that's why you reposition immediately
After firing
Just throw a dtk on the vepr๐
player scavs was hiding with the scavs
so I shot one scav
and 2 player scavs showed up
Not really no...
its better then standing and crouching @bold kernel
ok kebab, i just did what you did
There are many ways to make your self inconspicuous
died to a pscav because they acted like a bot
@gray mountain keep moving if you aren't under direct fire
Yeah I'll keep that in midn
should I bother sneaking around or do I just run at that point
Reposition
Quickly
Find a spot you can hold and listen
Since you know you attracted attention
They will come looking and you can take them out๐
Only tier 4 and lower
whacko
t5 and t6 cant have headsets?
No. That would be unbalanced
yeah true
Also not make sense
Nearly all of them
alright
Headwear in Escape from Tarkov offers multiple purposes.
There are cosmetic items, protective helmets and utility items. Each helmet offers protection for different zones of the head, which becomes an important consideration before heading into combat.
Another important consideration to make is that different helmets will have a different impact on how much sound they muffle. Sound is an important part of the gameplay in Escape from Tarkov.
Escape from Tarkov also features modular helmets, which will influence and change the amount of zones protected by the helmet. The zones, or segments, are as follows: Top, Nape, Ears, Eyes and Jaws.
To learn more about the effectiveness of armored headwear check the Ballistics page.

@Snutri#0002 Issa bug
It's just a single fire only m4
if u can tap fast, its insane
ok nwm it was fucking m855 ammo
Adar, tx15, and m4a1 all perform the same on single fire
ig i just didn't hit my shots
-5% recoil +5% accuracy
good
wait it is
Ew sks๐คข
sks good for starters
^^
@empty steppe is it really
better then nothing for newplayers
The op sks on market is 30k
change that price
from 30k
to 0
because i got the fucking gun for free
ez
and if it's so shit then no one will buy it at 30k
will anyone buy?
i just sell them to prapor

people buy it because old content of people praising it
Uh no
generally id never use a sks over pretty much any other single shot
i need to spend money on prapor
If you want a 30k reliable weapon. Then buy ak103 with the money gained from sks
btw
Gotcha
how much is golden rooster worth
No?
the price comes from the combined worth of the attachments
You never "had to" but makes more $ doing it usually
someone told me u had to do it cuz otherwise traders would scam you
to traders
Skier will give the most for optics handguards
It's not a scam as much as you are losing $
Sks got shitty stats and shitty modding
Market >therapist >skier> mechanic
Why would you ever
Shitty reloading
If it isn't free
Shitty iron sight s
i only use it if only choice and free
It's not free tho
when u find one
if you sell to traders then you should always disassemble right?
no
Best use is cheesing the assault rifle skill
If you un equip you melee what happens
I almost always sell weapons to traders and always break them down.
nothing
When you go in raid
Yeah thats what I've learned from a couple of streamers as well
you won't have anything
A couple things will make more $ on flea but overall I just use traders for them
Skier>Mechanic for weapons
I mean even if its 3k
Not always more on flea tbh
3K with tax counted in may not be 3k
otherwise its not worth the post costs
yeah but 3k usually means you get more than your tax
Yea if it's significant different on flea (and I'd call 3K significant) then I'll use flea.
Literally cant connect
However it's not always better. Just yesterday I had a couple suppressors and Skier was offering pretty much the same as lowest flea
i would just sell to traders because level
Phone service throttling too stronk
wow
under flea price
over vendor price
How do you get the package tf`?
Is that from Flea Market or?
Which one?
Just any of them tbf
What package?
With no optic Mechanic pays 18.5K...lowest on Flea is 20k plus posting tax.
@gray mountain unknown key is for the extortinist
a quest?
wiki
@gray mountain yes
alright
@bold kernel when your item on the flea market is sold
ragmanmessages you
and transfers you the money
Ah. Stonks
Thats fair. understandable. Im off to die a bunch solo.
hf
is the ssh-68 helmet any good?
yes
it is good value
"good"
is ps better then pp ammo?
both bad
The reason I play solo
"im coming out of the red warehouse towards you right now" x2
BANG
"that was me..."
๐
like im starting to understand like keys and stuff but i keep getting 1 tapped after looking at 3 diffrent extracts and none of them working so i die cus im trying to get to the last one ;/
1 tapped by scavs
ik
ones with ?'s wont always work
For me personally unless the ? exfil is on the way to a Guaranteed exfil I'm not even taking time to check it.
same
welp
just flipped 100k
the people on the flea market are scripting though
right?
macro for spamming left click and Y
cuz i mashed the shit out of my keyboard and mosue
and got it like 1/10 of the time
you can set your system time to 20 seconds ahead
and buy items before normal people can even have the chance.
on top of that there are bots
its bad design
it's against tos right?
probably
remind me to bring extra ammo when I do stuff. Running out of mags and trying to loot in the middle of nowhere is a deathsentence
i think my stash got smaller and I lost items because of it
what kind of stash
standard
stash cant get smaller
you're just losing your mind
no
my friend
i have 2 mbss backpacks and a vest with the ak i got
now when I scroll down in my stash its not there
have you restarted your game
i'll try that
anyway it could be in messages?
i never brought any of it into a raid so im not sure why
how big is standard stash supposed to be?
10x26
i just restarted and it didn't fix
hmm i have no clue why this is happening
but rip my ak
wearing headsets in this game
makes me feel paranoic
cuz i hear my footsteps at all times
even ctrl caps
so what do you guys end up selling to jaeger?
Gotta get him up but he doesnt sell anything worth anything at 1.
is .366 FMJ good or?
No 366 is good
no no no and no
what
ok
Heya guys planning to get the game, will I be at a huge disadvantage for getting the standard edition?
just sorta takes longer to do some stuff
3.5 fucking million
nothing is stopping you from using 10x26 though
the biggest change is probably the gammacontainer
the container lets you get items out of a raid that you're garunteed to keep even if you die
Aight, great, still waiting for my new laptop to arrive and then I'm buying it

25% off edge too?
all yes
I'll be getting the laptop this week most likely
upgrades too.
POg
btw
u still gotta tear weapons apart
so f u whoever told me it's not needed
7k profit
You are supposed to sell some of those parts to Skier and the rest to mechanic.
ok but i wanna upgrade prapor
Hm, is it guaranteed that there will be a sale?
uhh
not guaranteed
it's been on sale
but highly likelyu
