#

Yeah, it's not worth it

#

Just don't hoard mags ๐Ÿคท

bold kernel
#

Well im a hoarder so. ๐Ÿ˜

#

I have trouble selling/trading my items away

bronze ice
#

Most mags are <2k

bold kernel
#

yeah that i know

stone surge
#

Depends, magbox is pretty neat in labs imho

#

But not really for saving space in your stash

unique willow
#

So what is the fastest way to level up strength if you dont have a duo, since all tips for strength leveling have included another player

stone surge
#

go labs and spam nades

strange mural
#

mag case is just small qol

#

you can have ready to go mags

unique willow
#

how much does one nade throw give?

stone surge
#

iirc 0.1 exp

#

per nade all equal

#

so zharya being most cost effecient

#

or you'd have to walk being overweight (40kg)

#

but leveling strength is just stupid, I would just keep on playing and throw nades as much as u can

#

without actually powerleveling it

unique willow
#

how much are zharyas?

stone surge
#

6-7k

unique willow
#

ok not too terrible

#

i could get into few games and just start yeeting them

#

get atleast a couple levels

stone surge
#

since ur in beginner assistance i dont think u've done labs yet

unique willow
#

yea no

stone surge
#

but farming raiders is good for money

#

and you get more than 30-50+ nades

#

from just the raiders L

unique willow
#

well i do have money from basic players

ruby sedge
#

@strange mural there's a post on front page of reddit about a dude bringing a scav box into reserve and dying lol

๐Ÿ˜ก

i'll just go shave my legs f u guys

halcyon pebble
#

What's the point of laser on weapons aside from having sort of a crosshair in hipfire? is there any?

bold kernel
#

!wiki Laser

broken quailBOT
bold kernel
#

doesn't look like it

#

remember though

#

hipfire is very powerful

#

but

strange mural
#

people have said before that it does somehow help

bold kernel
#

just aim with the middle of your screen

#

ez

strange mural
#

other than just showing it

bronze ice
#

@halcyon pebble It increases hipfire accuracy a little

soft light
#

Hey guys, new to the game here. Just wondering where you like to run your scavs and why? Ive been running them night time on customs to help learn the map and get some free loot

halcyon pebble
#

cool, thanks.

strange mural
#

ninja

#

run them where you want to

#

learning is good

#

interchange is very profitable though

bold kernel
#

:C

soft light
#

interchange and shoreline are the next 2 maps im thinking about learning

#

interchange has the best most abundant loot right?

strange mural
#

i suggest looking at interchange

#

yeah

#

its all ovber the place and abundant even after somebvody has gone through and taken the cherries

#

shoreline has many snipers and resort isnt worth the risk without a lot of keys

soft light
#

Im thinking shoreline just because my pmc gets wrecked by someone i never see on customs everytime. Shoreline is more spread out and i can avoid players if i want to right?

robust jackal
#

server dead?

bold kernel
#

how to download the launcher?

robust jackal
#

can't buy or sell anything

#

just the loading symbol at the top of the screen

soft light
#

I was able to sell something to prapor just now

robust jackal
#

will try launching the game again

#

cuz its totally broken

#

4 me

#

can't even hand task items

bold kernel
#

profile

#

Thanks

robust jackal
#

make sure you got the email saying your payment went through as well, should be eligible to download when it does.

low rune
#

I'm learning interchange now. Way more loot than Customs but I've been hit twice by players camping at the exfil

#

that being said... anyone up for taking a noob through a raid?

soft light
#

What guns do you newer guys like? Ive been using sks and its ok... I like to suppress it but it doubles the price of a gun i cant keep lol

bold kernel
#

@soft light what LVL are you

low rune
#

so far I like the pp-19 and the mosin

bold kernel
#

@soft light vepr lol

#

vepr is just a cheaper better sks

soft light
#

Lvl 7 i think? Ive been playing for a few days now. Leveling is my struggle. I can run scavs and make money ok. But surviving quests has been brutal

bold kernel
#

@soft light join lfg channel

soft light
#

mosin looks fun, are there mags i can buy for it?

bold kernel
#

read the rules

#

lmao the mosin doesn't operate on mags

soft light
#

Ahh getting the 20 round mag for the sks was huge for me lol, hated manual loading it everytime in a fire fight

bold kernel
#

imagine a weapon

low rune
#

the mosin is just directly

bold kernel
#

like the sks

#

but higher dmg

#

higher acc

#

higher egro

#

lower price

#

higher mag count

soft light
#

Can mosin be suppressed?

grim wagon
#

lower ammo count

#

yes.

bold kernel
#

vepr doesn't have a lower ammo count

#

than sks

#

lol

low rune
#

the mosin only has 5 rnd capacity

grim wagon
#

you were talking mosin...

bold kernel
#

i wasn't?

low rune
#

i need to try the vepr and sks

grim wagon
#

you went mosin after

#

either way

bold kernel
#

to answer a question

grim wagon
#

doesnt matter

bold kernel
#

about mosin

#

does mosin have any night vision optics?

#

i wanna go interchange some day

#

and just snipe

#

on top of ad tower

low rune
#

not that I'm aware of. I'm only lvl 2

#

I have a PU 3.5x scope on it rn.

bold kernel
#

oh

#

you use mosins?

#

nice, i never got myself to actually take one out for a raid

#

they're pretty cheap but eh

low rune
#

I've been mostly using it in offline..

bold kernel
#

i see

#

ps ammo?

low rune
#

LPS GzH

#

is the PACA armor worth keeping for barter or should I just sell it?

#

soft armor*

soft light
#

Does mosin have better pen than sks? Or is that more of an ammo thing

low rune
#

I can one shot most scavs with the mosin

bold kernel
#

ye but scavs

#

have lvl 3 armor

#

sometimes 4

#

but most of the time 3 or lower

low rune
#

yeah... not sure against players

bold kernel
#

@soft light ammo probably

#

but mosin is going to hit way harder

radiant dock
#

i cant hear anyones voices

bold kernel
#

@low rune paca is level 2 armor

radiant dock
#

wtf is this

bold kernel
#

@radiant dock who's voices

#

where

radiant dock
#

anyone lol

bold kernel
#

where?

robust jackal
#

Mosin with 7n1 is a coin flip if it will pen ppl on armor lvl 5.

radiant dock
#

in any of the chat rooms

bold kernel
#

oh

robust jackal
#

If it pens its a one tap on the chest

bold kernel
#

bottom right

low rune
#

noble flower

potent atlas
#

good luck on shooter born in heaven

grim wagon

soft light
#

noble flower
#

Any hat that I can use headset with would've been fine, but I am getting sneaked up on all the time

potent atlas
#

@noble flower best helmet would be airframe

noble flower
#

#

I have to wear Ushanka hat

potent atlas
#

oh

#

woeful stratus
#

Lol

noble flower
#

which is why the quest is getting on my nerves as I started with :p

desert hull
#

so I just solo'd a player scav 5 man

#

that happened

gray mountain
#

wtf

low rune
#

I'm down to run as a n00b

robust jackal
#

any way to turn euros into dollars? or roubles?

#

not the opposite btw

bold kernel
#

flea

undone hazel
#

any tips on not bumping into players when trying to pistol run and make money? ooor just bring full gear every time, cause you know you cant to anything about it??

grim wagon
#

go fast

bold kernel
#

@potent atlas maybe later

grim wagon
#

or slow

#

not inbetween

bold kernel
#

can't feel my left hand

undone hazel
#

yeah i guess thats right

desert hull
#

@undone hazel experience will teach you how to manuever

#

when to wait and look

#

etc

soft light
#

Is there a way to increase max orders in flea market?

desert hull
#

can also just play on only dead servers lul

#

@soft light get more trader rep

#

I mean uh

#

flea market rep

#

whatever you call this shit

soft light
#

is that the number next to my name in flea? im almost 1.0

desert hull
soft light
#

neat ty

#

is selling on flea market the only way to raise that?

desert hull
#

yes

#

every 1 million roubles is 1 point

#

you can game it though

soft light
#

sick ty

desert hull
#

if you get a mill or two you can buy items that cost a mill or two

#

then sell it back the exact same price you bought it for

#

over and over

#

I'm 99.9% sure that works

undone hazel
#

@desert hull dead servers? i tried to understand this while watching Pestily, but even if you take the server with the longest wait time, you are going to wait it out and problably you are going to wait like 3x more, can you explain?

desert hull
#

@undone hazel select low pop servers

#

and you will get in raids with fewer players

soft light
#

wait i need 10.0 to unlock my 4th order slot?

desert hull
#

you will have to wait on games sometimes, yes

#

@soft light yes, that chart lists all the thresholds

robust jackal
#

also night raids less players

soft light
#

oof ill try the buying selling trick then thanks ๐Ÿ˜›

undone hazel
#

how do i know which are low pop? by the queue time?

soft light
#

and does dead servers work? i switched to turkey and russia last night looking for quiet servers. it just felt like i waited longer though and still ran into the same amount of players

undone hazel
#

same here @soft light

soft light
#

thats how i picked servers by longes que time, not sure if that meant less players though

undone hazel
#

tryna figure it out aswell

soft light
#

Are you trying to finish quests un molested karl?

desert hull
#

@undone hazel match time can be accurate but the problem is high pop servers that are at capacity will also have high match times because of overload

chrome swallow
#

help somebody or a scav is up on top of the smoke stack on customs and im in the parking lot below it basically dancing

#

all i have is a stupid toz

desert hull
#

so you kinda have to know which ones are full and which are gonna be dead

#

its alwyas the same servers that are dead tho

#

@soft light @undone hazel also run at night

#

night always has less players

soft light
#

night runs are my favorite

desert hull
#

and even without NVGS you can still see pretty well

#

if you have a decent monitor

soft light
#

so far im playing this game as a stealth survival lol

undone hazel
#

ooh okay

desert hull
#

especially inside buildings

#

like interchange at night is about the same thing as day

#

but theres less players

undone hazel
#

kinda same here @soft light , i wanna make somec decent money and then have fun doing quests that actually take effort and pvp not worrying about dieing and being poor

desert hull
#

I feel you

#

I do the same thing a lot

#

just go on dead servers and chill

undone hazel
#

yeah i guess

desert hull
#

I even listen to music sometimes on those servers lol

#

would never dare to do that on a pop server

#

you will still see players on "dead' servers

soft light
#

@undone hazel ive been playing for a few days and got money making figured out. im only learning customs so far but i go in at night with a scav and hit every hidden stash. usually make it out with 200-300k if i have a pack

desert hull
#

it should just be a lot less

#

if you go to the high traffic spots you'll still run into PvP

#

like going dorms in a dead server will still force PvP with somebody

#

just won't be like 3 squads like on the big servers

#

@soft light yeah stashes are great

soft light
#

what server are usually low pop? @desert hull

desert hull
#

interchange has a really easy run too if you want to learn that

#

never even have to go in the mall cause they're all outside

soft light
#

interchange is on my list for next map

desert hull
#

you can just run from your spawn to extract and hit like 8 stashes

#

I do it as a PMC sometimes even if I'm dying a lot for free money

robust jackal
#

Miami during the later night is pretty chill

soft light
#

oh stashed like that in interchange too? sick

undone hazel
#

yeah i learned customs first too, tryna take my time and learn interchange some day, right now yup trying to make money on customs

desert hull
#

customs has few loot areas

robust jackal
#

make money on customs only if you kill a lot of ppl

desert hull
#

like the biggest attraction are dorms which is pvp heavy and its a small area

#

and rashala

soft light
#

i think theres 7-8 stashes from spawn to extract in my route on customs

robust jackal
#

or now every loot stashes on the map

woven turret
#

is there any sherpa that would be down to playing with me?

robust jackal
#

even then not ideal for loot

woven turret
#

i need some guidance :0

desert hull
#

I can answer questions in voice

bronze ice
#

Isn't there always a set number of players?

desert hull
#

but i ain't tryna play with a group right now

#

no, game will launch with the minimum or even just you if its bad enough @bronze ice

woven turret
#

i basically want to play a game with a sherpa and maybe get tips, i will use the sv98

desert hull
#

just you in a raid is really rare

bronze ice
#

Are you sure? o.O

desert hull
#

but it can happen

soft light
#

can you really get a server with just you? will you still get player scav spawns?

desert hull
#

yeah and yeah

#

but if the server is dead enough to have just you in a raid

#

it probably isnt gonna have many pscavs either

soft light
#

i think sometimes i spawn as a scav after everyone has left

bronze ice
#

Wow, that's insane

desert hull
#

like I said its not common

#

usually like on customs there will still be about 4 ppl maybe

bold kernel
#

hey

#

if i upgrade my game edition rn

bronze ice
#

I always waited in the loading screen with the "waiting for players" status so I assumed you NEED to have the minimum amount of players for the match to start

desert hull
#

but thats opposed to like, 8-12

bold kernel
#

will i get the bonus benefits of it

#

or will i get them next wipe

desert hull
#

you'll get them now

bold kernel
#

like better stash

#

oh

#

the items too?

desert hull
#

yes

robust jackal
#

yep

bold kernel
#

nice

desert hull
#

items come in messenger

#

stash is just increased

soft light
#

@bronze ice im not sure if thats waiting for players to join, or waiting for connected players to finish loading

bold kernel
#

epic epic

desert hull
#

@bronze ice waiting for players is waiting for ppl to load I'm 99% sure

#

and it won't wait for everyone

#

just a percentage of the players

#

if that goes for a long time I find its because theres not many ppl in the raid

#

say if there's 4 ppl and at least 75% of the raid needs to load

#

3/4 need to load

#

so like, one dude with a slow PC can slow down the start

#

whereas in large raids with 12 ppl usually you don't have holdups like that

#

cause enough ppl load before the others

#

all that is just my speculation btw

undone hazel
#

okay just to clarify, how do I know which servers are dead? Im in EU, does it come with experience? sorry for being such an idiot tho ๐Ÿ˜„

vivid basalt
#

how do you close the tarkov without restarting the whole pc when the end task in task manager doesn't work :p anyone got any fancy powershell commands?

desert hull
#

a mix of looking at match times

soft light
#

@undone hazel i heard turkey was a good one, but i dont really know

desert hull
#

and also just knowing which are deader

bold kernel
#

@vivid basalt main menu

desert hull
#

that isnt super informative but its kinda just how it is

bold kernel
#

exit

desert hull
#

I have heard Warsaw is pretty dead

#

you could try that

#

I dont play EU though

vivid basalt
#

The launcher took a rope and hung itself and i can't cut it down

bold kernel
#

looks like a you issue

#

works fine for me

desert hull
#

have you tried task manager @vivid basalt

bold kernel
#

he literally said

#

he's looking for a way

woeful stratus
#

Lol you guys don't even rrad

bold kernel
#

to do it without

woeful stratus
#

Read

bold kernel
#

lmfao

gusty shale
#

Hi everyone, I am really new and pretty lost. Anyone willing to help teach me?

bold kernel
vivid basalt
#

@desert hull I have ๐Ÿ˜›

desert hull
#

bruh

#

do it again

#

I have to double-end task for tarkov

bold kernel
#

THIS DUDE

woeful stratus
#

Lol

bold kernel
#

LMAO

desert hull
#

im speaking from experience here dawg

#

I have to double-end task for tarkov to close

woeful stratus
#

Lol

#

You're funny

desert hull
#

it won't do it ever on the first attempt

vivid basalt
#

nope spamming delete doesn't work either ๐Ÿ˜›

woeful stratus
#

Do it again

desert hull
#

why can't you restart PC though

vivid basalt
#

I did that last time xD but if this is gonna happen every now and then its gonna get annoying

gusty shale
#

@bold kernel is there a better channel for finding help? I read the beginners ingo page and it looks like I belong here? or?

bold kernel
gusty shale
#

ahh missed the reaction for rules

bold kernel
#

my hand is killing me reeee

vivid basalt
#

That moment when it escalated from tarkov not responding to the PC PC not responding

#

That was interresting ._. I wonder what caused that

magic heart
#

If you have more than one monitor open task manager before you start tarkov and move task manager to the second monitor. that is how I do it. It only freezes the monitor it tarkov starts on in my experience and everything on my additional ones work fine.

#

I hope that helps

#

sorry If I am dumb and that advice was already given

vivid basalt
#

definitely not what happened here, it was only the launcher

#

I think there might have something else going on here ๐Ÿ˜›

crisp urchin
#

Yeah, sometimes Tarkov fucks up on boot for some reason

#

I just close it down and open it up again and it works

faint violet
#

If tarkov was out on a new engine

magic heart
#

when I press play on the launcher the game wont load and it freezes the monitor that is what I was referring to. sorry I thought that was what you ment.

#

occasionally that happens*

crisp urchin
#

For me the launcher closes down on boot

magic heart
#

there is an option in launcher to stop it from closing

crisp urchin
#

Not that I have anything against it. Unless the game isn't willing to boot up properly lol

magic heart
#

lol

#

the only fix I found for boot issues was to run in administrator every time and have task manager on a second monitor in case it does not work so I can still close it

vivid basalt
#

yeah no this only happened once before and I suspect my pc would have frozen then too. should be impossible to actually have a launcher basically reserve all the threads on your pc and lock it up, but that's what it seemed like.

magic heart
#

becasue task manager still works from a second monitor if it is already open whentarkov fails to boot

crisp urchin
#

Yeah I might try to run as admin when I boot up the game again

magic heart
#

dang sorry to hear that I hope it all gets sorted out for everyone. seems like a lot of startup issues

vivid basalt
#

@magic heart are you doing fullscreen thou? it might be a fullscreen bug for you

crisp urchin
#

I play on a lowered resolution. No idea if that has something to do with it

#

My guess is something to do with Battleye. No idea

#

Never had any issues like these before

magic heart
#

yes I am doing fullscreen. idk maybe. I am honestly not great with this kind of thing. it freezes the monitor and nothing that is running on that monitor responds but everything on other monitors works fine

vivid basalt
#

I think tarkov crashed on me when I ran it in fullscreen, but then again I tabbed out.

crisp urchin
#

Have you lot noticed any stutters recently?

#

Been getting some lately

vivid basalt
#

fullscreen has a tendency to reserve the screen :p

magic heart
#

wow thanks a lot I will see if that fixes the issue all together.

#

I honestly dont have it very often. once in 6 or 7 starts

bold kernel
#

@potent atlas hey

#

what are your ingame settings?

magic heart
#

but if that fixes it I would be really happy lol

bold kernel
#

like in graphics

#

Anyone want to help a newbie I havenโ€™t even been able to extract once so Iโ€™m losing everything I have

bold kernel
#

for everything

#

as far as i kjnow

#

pistol and scav runs are your freind

magic heart
#

I am a huge noob myself. I dont know much about the game but I know about boot issues LUL

bold kernel
#

and insurance

vivid basalt
#

depends on your pc @bold kernel You can get better performance on fullscreen.

bold kernel
#

is your friend

#

remember

#

if the situation

#

is absolutely awful

crisp urchin
#

@fallow sandal I was in the same boat like a week ago. I recommend learning the maps, being less scared, be more confident, watch videos of people playing the game. With time it will get better

bold kernel
#

throw away your gun

crisp urchin
#

Currently I'm sitting at a full stash of alright gear and about 2 million in roubles

bold kernel
#

if you drop your gun it'll be harder to find

#

and the insurance still covers it

magic heart
#

you can sign up for a sherpa on the website I believe. I need to read the rules for the discord still

#

depending on the area you might find one easily. there are only 2 on the site in my area that I saw atm

#

good luck with everyones issues I hope they get fixed or you get help soon. I am off to get killed in some raids myself LOL

crisp urchin
#

I remember a week ago when I couldn't get anything done. Now I can easily run money runs on Interchange and do quests. Which is awesome

#

Just shows the incredible learning curve of the game

bold kernel
#

yeah my first week i died 95%

vivid basalt
#

@magic heart good luck in the raid, I think I am also heading in now that I restared my pc adn stuff.

crisp urchin
#

My survival rate is about 40% now. Might not be a lot but it's just nice to survive raids

desert hull
#

40% is pretty high for the playerbase as a whole

#

probably slightly above average for this discord

#

if I had to guess

bold kernel
#

or u take less risks

vivid basalt
#

I got mine up to 14 ๐Ÿ˜› just takes one bad day and you got like 10 raids with no survivals

bold kernel
#

and play smaller maps

#

at nighttime

desert hull
#

I mean surviving is succeeding

#

if you killed 5 people and died

#

you failed

bold kernel
#

not really

dense pine
#

hmm... is there a list of which cases can go into a secure pouch?

bold kernel
#

if you killed no one

#

and looted nothing

#

but escaped

desert hull
#

nobody is doing that tho

#

bit of a false equivalent

bold kernel
#

but that theoretically IS surviving

desert hull
#

yes, but nobody is doing it

bold kernel
#

you're implying it though

desert hull
#

just like how I can say getting PMC 4 kills in a raid isn't impressive if you happen to be cheating and killing squadmates

bold kernel
#

you're comparing death to cheating?

#

ok

desert hull
#

?

#

point being

#

if you die your raid was a failure unless you did something that carries over anyway

#

being tasks or something you butt pocketed

crisp urchin
#

I try not and get into fights considering the gear I have and considering the other PMCs may have

#

If I see that they are running cheap armor pistol, sure I'll take fight

vivid basalt
#

@crisp urchin Try out the Hunter, been doing pretty well with that and its affordable.

bold kernel
#

are there any mag options for hunter

crisp urchin
#

I have actually been running the mosin with the 3.5x scope. Been doing some work with that

bold kernel
#

or is it fed directly

desert hull
#

@bold kernel 5 rd and 10 rd mags

#

both cheap

bold kernel
#

ig 10 rounds would be nice

#

cuz 5 rounds poop

vivid basalt
#

well mosin is slow, while the hunter can lash out 5-10 bullets at a decent speed.

woven turret
#

guys

desert hull
#

@crisp urchin mosin is more accurate

woven turret
#

i just made a dude mad

desert hull
#

but hunter has about the same damage but is semi auto

#

so preference

vivid basalt
#

yeah agreed the 5 rounds is pretty bad, enough to kill a scav, too little to be able to miss a shot ;p

bold kernel
#

yeah but

desert hull
#

@vivid basalt what?

bold kernel
#

does it support magnified scopes?

desert hull
#

the gun one shots 95% of scavs

vivid basalt
#

there was a not snuck in there

desert hull
#

how is six bullets not enough to kill a scav

woven turret
#

i was scav in gas staiton, so, this guy tries to kill me an di go trough the beach to lighthouse and he was waiting for me (he tough i was waiting until it was clear) but since i flanked he wa sjust there with no cover

#

i just one tap him

desert hull
#

you can miss 5 shots tho

woven turret
bold kernel
#

@woven turret ok

#

how do you knwo if he's mad

vivid basalt
#

I have missed 4 shots and got the scav on the 5th only to have scavs rush me from behind while I was reloading ๐Ÿ˜›

woven turret
#

he had some good loot

#

and its not literal

desert hull
#

well thats more of a positioning thing

bold kernel
#

lmfao

#

your inventory

#

i can tell you're new

pseudo mural
#

I've been having good luck with a toz oddly

bold kernel
#

good for you my friend

it only gets worse from now on

woven turret

@bold kernel i mean i am new but not really

#

new on this patch

bold kernel
#

oh

woven turret

๐Ÿ˜„

bold kernel
#

what are you doing on begginer thn

#

lol

pseudo mural
#

toz/sks have been good to me on PMC, I got a fal on a scav run and absolutely dominated with it

woven turret
#

because i havent played in like

#

idk

#

4 months

pseudo mural
#

so much recoil but it doesn't matter cuz first round puts peeps down

woven turret
#

and new patch and stuff

#

confuses me a bit

bold kernel
#

ppl here don't even know how to shoot

woven turret
#

but i can put a fight

pseudo mural
#

I mean, I know how to shoot and how to survive

woven turret
#

๐Ÿคท 140h online says here

pseudo mural
#

but I don't know any maps but shoreline

crisp urchin
#

I've been reading some Reddit posts on the recoil. What are your lot opinion? Currently I think it's just point and shoot

vivid basalt
#

how do you know how much you've played? ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

pseudo mural
#

yesterday I learned about what the exfils with the ????? mean(50/50 chance of it being there)

bold kernel

uh

#

yeah

#

point and shoot

just like you know

real life weapons

woven turret
vivid basalt

oh its in the overall :p

woven turret
#

pog

bold kernel
#

fuck

#

i wanna try to run shotgun factory

pseudo mural
#

good luck with that

bold kernel
#

but decent ammo is too expensive

pseudo mural
#

lol

#

Toz ammo is cheap

bold kernel
#

what ammo does the toz use

vivid basalt
pseudo mural
#

and you can headshot from forever away

bold kernel
#

regular shells right

pseudo mural
#

20x70

crisp urchin
#

I ran buckshot m870 on factory. Filthy gun that

woven turret
#

what about my inventory tough? @bold kernel

bold kernel
#

yeah the starter meds you got

pseudo mural
#

you can run buckshot if your doing CQB, but you only got 3 rounds

bold kernel
#

you didn't move them around yet

crisp urchin
#

Slugs aren't good for pen, right?

woven turret
#

oh i did but not really

#

just down

bold kernel
#

@crisp urchin lol

pseudo mural
#

however, toz is basically a laser

bold kernel
#

slugs are probably the only viable ammo

#

for most shotguns

woven turret
#

i use those on pistol runs

pseudo mural
#

the m113/m870 is way better prolly

crisp urchin
#

I mean, it's just a big ass round flying towards your ass lol

pseudo mural
#

but...toz =laser to the face

#

last night I was faced with two exfil campers at tunnel on shoreline, you can't really flank someone exfil at tunnel

woven turret
#

the toz is awesome on scav runs

pseudo mural
#

so I ran from car to car, one guy popped out, toz to the face @ 40+m

#

ran to another car, toz to the leg @ 30m, both dead in under 10 seconds

bronze ice
#

@vivid basalt That's 7 hours a day ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

bold kernel
#

k turns out

#

i was wrong

pseudo mural
#

I use the 6.6buckshot

#

er 6.2

#

7.5 works jsut as well

#

it's spread pattern seems to be "basically a slug" at 40m

woven turret
#

what can i do with a bitcoin?

crisp urchin
#

Oh right, flechette rounds make sense

bold kernel
#

@woven turret sell it

woven turret

they are not too much

trade it to vendors

if your new, and die a lot

AP-20 round is a filthy round though lmao

grab a toz, it's filthy

woven turret
#

its only 100k but sure

bold kernel
#

ye lol

#

downed a stacked guy

#

on factory

#

with a slug

vivid basalt
#

@bronze ice Newbie hours I tell you. I used to be one hell of a gaming junkie and I used to spew out 12-15 hours a day :x cries in corner

pseudo mural
#

headshot with toz is graet close range

bronze ice
#

Yikes

pseudo mural
#

toz=best gun ๐Ÿ˜›

crisp urchin
#

I haven't really gotten to use the Toz. For shotguns I've been using mp-133 or the 870

pseudo mural
#

I racked up 2 PMC kills+5 scav kills last night as a complete noob in the dorms, cuz toz is basically a laser to the face

#

way more so than the mp133

#

like, I'm not even really aiming

crisp urchin
#

Toz with the filthy ammo is probably insane lmao

pseudo mural
#

now, the dude who had the facemask helmet

#

i did legs him cuz, i shot him in the face and nothing happened

#

then an AI(i think? it was a scav in dorms) shut the door on me as I threw a grenade and it bounced back into the room I was in..a room with bars on the windows

#

so i died

crisp urchin
#

Oh wow lol

pseudo mural
#

I know right?

crisp urchin
#

You are very unlucky, my friend lol

#

That timing especially

pseudo mural
#

After it happened I was like "...that AI is friggin smart"

#

if ya'll don't know yet, if your new like me...nades are amazing

crisp urchin
#

I haven't used nades at all yet

pseudo mural
#

go offline and learn how to use em

#

they will save your butt a lot when you get into a situation where you can't get out of it easily

#

esp if you are doing like dorms or gas station or something

#

also unlike other games, they don't explode on impact, they'll roll a bit, you can bankshot them too

bold kernel
#

they will kill you too if a throw is too tight

pseudo mural
#

in buildings that becomes super useful, esp if your like holding a stairwell and someone with better gear is trying to come up

#

ya

#

also they bounce off doors if the AI shuts the door ๐Ÿ˜›

#

I'm still running shoreline only because I really enjoy it and am learning what to do where to go a lot better just running one map

#

any tips on improving your aim besides turning your mouse sensativity down?

crisp urchin
#

I would recommend playing aim train games. Not EFT especially

woven turret
#

guys

crisp urchin
#

Practicing flicks, tracking and all that. It will help immensely

woven turret
#

i bought a cool axe from fence

#

turns out its for eod

#

lol

dawn cargo
#

same lol

woven turret
#

gotta buy eod ngl

#

i like the game

dawn cargo
#

wait for new year

pseudo mural
#

I will buy it when the sale for new year happens

crisp urchin
#

Is there like an upgrade or do you have to buy a new copy of the game?

bold kernel
#

it's an upgrade

#

gonna get prepare for escape

pseudo mural
#

it's like PoE thankfully, each one is an upgrade

bold kernel
#

question

#

should i take a wallet

#

to my runs

desert hull
#

you can

#

or just buy a docs case

pseudo mural
#

from what I've seen a docs case is better right?

desert hull
#

need one anyway

#

it is

bold kernel
#

what can i keep in a docs case

pseudo mural
#

and ya, you have to have one

desert hull
#

money, bitcoins, usb drives, keys, etc

bold kernel
#

hmm

desert hull
#

diary, intelligence folders

dawn cargo
#

Keycards ^^

bold kernel
#

can i keep a keytool in my docs case

desert hull
#

keycards ye

pseudo mural
#

keycards too

dawn cargo
#

No

desert hull
#

no

bold kernel
#

poopy

desert hull

its only 200k

oh ok

desert hull

cheap investment, lots of utility

bold kernel

undone hazel
#

best budget scope for mosin rather than pu 3.5x?

#

that is fairly long range

desert hull
#

4th trader, skeeter maxed

woven turret
#

is it recomendable to have like a sv98 and a pistol with it?

desert hull
#

not recommended to have any specific loadout

#

all preference and what you have on hand

woven turret
#

i will use pistol for close combat

desert hull
#

if you want to know what I do then yeah, I use pistols with my snipers

gray mountain
#

Depends on what scope you have

desert hull
#

but truthfully a backup cheap rifle is a better secondary

gray mountain
#

imo

desert hull
#

like a VeprKM

gray mountain
#

if you have a long range scope you probably want a pistol or shotgun secondary

#

if you have a short range scope, just quickscope those idiots

#

at least when it comes to scavs

woven turret
#

1p59

#

so yes a pistol is recomenable in my opinion

gray mountain
#

yeah

#

I agree

undone hazel
#

how many tasks do you have to do to get the gamma container???

ocean burrow
#

how beneficial is pinging a sherpa and having them raid with you..anyone done it?

bold kernel
#

vepr hunter is a good mid to long range. if u practice hip fire you can spray a 10rnd mag to some effect

lapis mauve
#

you can only get gamma with eod, epsilon is for doing the punisher quests from prapor and kappa is for doing all quests

desert hull
#

you can also just buy gamma in game

#

from a player

lapis mauve
#

kinda

desert hull
#

can also barter for a beta from Pk4

bold kernel
#

I have a fair number of ppl who like to raid with me regularly

lapis mauve
#

if someone sells to fence, idk if you can use flea to trade it anymore

#

pretty sure i can't sell my epsilon on flea

bold kernel
#

if you put ur gamma in bag at stash you should be able to raid with it I think...

strange mural
#

yes

lapis mauve
#

Yeah, I will probably do that to give epsilon to my buddy when his computer issues are fixed

desert hull
#

@lapis mauve you can just sell in raid

bold kernel
#

wow

#

tozes are actually

#

dirt cheap

desert hull
#

because they're ass

lapis mauve
#

Btw if you get alpha vest you can have 6 tozโ€™s loaded and ready to fire on your hot bar

gray mountain
#

what

lapis mauve
#

So 30 shots before reloading them all

gray mountain
#

damn

lapis mauve
#

You can key guns in your vest

desert hull
#

he means fire

#

empty gun

#

drop gun

#

grab next gun

#

for the meme

lapis mauve
#

Not drop

gray mountain
#

ye

desert hull
#

cooler to drop

gray mountain
#

imagine just pushing a guy behind cover

desert hull
#

like you dont even care

gray mountain
#

and you drop 30 buckshots at him while pushing

desert hull
#

which you dont if you're using 7 TOZes as your weapon of choice

gray mountain
#

never ending shotgun shells

#

just flying towards you

desert hull
#

you want to know whats faster than using different tozes

#

speed reloading 1 tozx

#

lmao

bold kernel
#

hipfire is stupidly good

desert hull
#

you're telling me

#

got like 5 kills on interchange earlier on players

bold kernel
#

quick reloads is a thing

desert hull
#

rounding corners with the FAL with a laser

bold kernel
#

dunno if it has a soft skill

lyric storm
#

I can't hit shit with hipfire half the time

pseudo mural
#

fal feels like that first round is a laser

#

second round flies off into space

desert hull
#

not with a laser

pseudo mural
#

but that first round hits true 100% of the time

desert hull
#

laser reduces recoil

#

I'm 95% sure

#

when point firing ofc

pseudo mural
#

no I mean, it feels like a laser

desert hull
#

not when ADS

lyric storm
#

The laser turns me on

if 2 people are in a party, and 1 of them has specific servers set, will it choose one of those servers the one person has et?

pseudo mural

as in, you pull the trigger, the bullet follows the path of where the barrel is pointing 100%

desert hull
#

the person who invites everyone will be the one who picks server @cerulean cape

pseudo mural

toz/fal both feel like that for me

cerulean cape
#

aight

lyric storm

It chooses the leader's server

pseudo mural
#

I wanna play with others, but really only with people as new as me(like, under level 5, a group of noobs who have no idea whats going on)

the initial invite chooses server

changing leaders doesnt count

so for bp depot do i have to mark them all in 1 raid and survive?

lapis mauve
#

No

bold kernel
#

no

crisp urchin
#

You don't need to do them in one raid

lapis mauve
#

Can do 1 or 2 or whatever

open basin
#

oh sweet

bold kernel
#

each step can be it's own raid

lapis mauve
#

If you have a small container doing them 1 at a time is good

crisp urchin

I personally did it in one raid

lapis mauve
#

Same

pseudo mural
#

Why is it scavs see me from 200 feet while turned backwards and can snipe my face off with a saiga 9

#

is it something I'm doing wrong, or are certain scavs just insanely good?

lapis mauve
#

They do that sometimes

#

Also if only your head is showing they shoot your head

pseudo mural
#

they seem to have better situational awareness than any PMC lol

lapis mauve
#

Sometimes, other times they are blind

pseudo mural
#

one sniped me from the radio tower on shoreline while I was next to the wall running towards the traintracks to exfil

#

yet sometimes I can walk straight by them without them noticing as long as i'm behind them

lapis mauve
#

Thatโ€™s not an ai scav, they donโ€™t spawn there (unless you mean weather station, but canโ€™t see the wall from there Iโ€™m pretty sure)

dawn cargo
#

^^

lapis mauve
#

99% was a player scav

pseudo mural
#

that makes sense. two seconds later as I ran towards the road to customs exfil, I got one tapped to the face by the AI scav that sits there

#

it was just a bad run

lapis mauve
#

Yeah, if possible check for scavs there before running in

pseudo mural
#

I did, he had gotten into contact with someone else I think

#

cuz he was around the corner near the sandbags

#

i ran to the rock, hid, peeked, shot and i think it was just a lucky shot that domed me

lapis mauve
#

You can extract to the right of the gate, next to the wall

pseudo mural
#

it was pretty funny

#

Ya, but I always run to the rock to grab cover to scan the exfil first

lapis mauve
#

Hard for scavs to see you there if they are by sandbags

pseudo mural
#

he was by the sandbags

#

wasn't like it was a big loss, it was a scav run where I had killed 3 other scavs(in my defense...they had a weapon I wanted)

#

I know I shouldn't kill scavs, but when you spawn in with a toz and nothing else sometimes its gotta be done ๐Ÿ˜›

lapis mauve
#

Usually I scav on interchange or reserve, since I only shoot players I almost never fire so gun doesnโ€™t matter

pseudo mural
#

I will one day play those maps

#

I'm 100% trying to learn as much of shoreline as I can before moving onto learning customs

#

it's been a great intro into the game, because customs as a newb you die pretty much instantly it feels like

lapis mauve

Yeah, customs is kinda small and easy to funnel into people

just let me fuckingbleed out

whats the cheapest food/water per rouble?

pseudo mural
#

still ahve 200k roubles tho, I bought the maps and some armor and a weener helmet

cerulean cape

maps not worth, use online maps

bold kernel

optional exfils usually have markers. some have been... malfunctioning and have no clear sign of availability apart from exfil counter starting.

@pseudo mural maps are useless

#

at the moment

bold kernel

not true

lapis mauve

Cheapest food and water is what you find in raid, rest is way overpriced right now

strange mural
#

i wish you could atleast draw on them or something

bold kernel
#

they are ineffecient.

#

you can label them

#

last I tried.

cerulean cape
#

meh, only using food/water for hatchet runs, so not finding any in raid, but running out very quickly lol

bold kernel
#

You can give the maps to others with the labels still there too I think

For food both the lunch boxes are amazing

If you can make aquamari in hideout you never need water again

what about it

that room should be full of water bottles and aquafina

It tells you everything about your quests

i just wish

i had someone to do them with

If you invite people they play on your server

it's not about being casual
