beginners-assistance

[strange mural]

just use the wikis normal maps

[small perch]

but interchange has the best loots for hideout

[steady pilot]

@small perch its probably the 3rd best and its not worth the keys

[steel fable]

So, If i don't have the marked room key....

[silver dome]

seasonal . the marked room in customs gives more loot than an entire raid in interchange

[steel fable]

I could just camp it?

[silver dome]

yes

[frank beacon]

lmfaooo

[mystic pasture]

You could, there's an open room opposite, but Its not worth

[frank beacon]

dude really just said that

[silver dome]

marked key costs 50k

[mystic pasture]

imo

[strange mural]

volkov dont talk about stuff you dont really know about.

[silver dome]

for 25 uses

just get it instead

[steady pilot]

You are better off buying the good reserve keys

[frank beacon]

do you know how much shit is on interchange

[silver dome]

can someone name some reserve keys that are good

[steady pilot]

Or just interchange and walk out with 1M

[strange mural]

all of them pretty much

[mystic pasture]

Wtf volkov 😄 interchange is so good, so much loot, so good for quest items

[steel fable]

And is it... just loot on the ground? or... a box you open? (in the mark room)

[waxen forge]

@silver dome thats random depending on what marked has. Interchange is CONSISTENT

[small perch]

@steady pilot i dont know man, i got a lot of friend running shoreline and getting out with lots of money.

[silver dome]

oh

[strange mural]

@steel fable its on the floor and on the tables

[formal laurel]

Just kill people wearing altyns on any map

[silver dome]

what rooms in interchange

[formal laurel]

Easy 1mil

[silver dome]

for the best lopot

[steel fable]

I should watch a video on it...

lol

[strange mural]

volkov you say interchange is bad loot when you dont know if it has rooms?

[grand crow]

Can anyone advice me on what to sell/inventory management?

[silver dome]

😄

[formal laurel]

Sell bandages they’re shit

[steady pilot]

@small perchim sure they are. Shoreline still isnt a top place for loot. It's all centered in the resort building. Money making isnt hard

[strange mural]

groot backbags inside of backbags

[silver dome]

groot , sell ur armor

literally 4/4

and dont take more than 1 gun in a raid

[grand crow]

Yeah I've got like 6 MBSS and 4 scav backpacks-ish

[formal laurel]

Do take more than one gun a game

[waxen forge]

You make comments that marked is better than all of interchange but don't even know where to go on interchange. Don't speak to noobs if you don't know what you are talking about.

[grand crow]

The one I have on now, it's 43/43 tho

[steady pilot]

Investing 3mil in shorline keys or consistently getting 500k + from interchange for free?

Gee

[strange mural]

shoreline has insane loot potential but probably the highest risk for it

[steady pilot]

Hard choice

[formal laurel]

@grand crow but a wallet

They’re like 15k

[strange mural]

you can just run through most of the time

maybe a few scavs in your way

[formal laurel]

Too bad interchange is so fucking hard to come out alive in

[grand crow]

Okay I'll get a wallet

[strange mural]

focus on surviving evan

go slower

[steel fable]

Interchange is only hard to come out alive, if other players are there.

[waxen forge]

Avoid fights. Easy to get in and out.

[steel fable]

I can usually get in and loot and leave... its easy to run away.

[strange mural]

if you are late dont even bother with texhko and techlight

just loot oli shelves

[frank beacon]

you dont have to walk in the middle to get dropped like a brick you can just be walking down the hall and one tapped by some dude in a dark corner

[steel fable]

And if you go at night, the scavs use flashlights... IN THE BUILDINGS

[formal laurel]

Well I want good loot so I hit Rasmussen and tech light

[silver dome]

cool

[formal laurel]

4 man teams

[steel fable]

wtf is that

[silver dome]

its whats interchange is based on

[frank beacon]

its interchange

[silver dome]

says it in the wiki

[steel fable]

LOL

[steady pilot]

Okay you all need to chill

[grand crow]

Anything else apart from bandages I should be selling?

[steel fable]

I need to learn the layout of interchange. I keep getting lost inside OLI and IDEA... and I can never find GOCHAN.

@grand crow everything?

[formal laurel]

[steady pilot]

[steel fable]

@bold kernel can't tell if im in the back or front lol

[formal laurel]

[steel fable]

I'm too busy trying to not get shot

[strange mural]

the backs of the stores have big big storage shelves

thats how you differentiate

[steel fable]

ahh

Gotcha

[strange mural]

alongside loading docks on the outside

[steel fable]

So, once I goto the back?

[strange mural]

its in the back and in the middle

[steel fable]

gochan is near the back?

[strange mural]

yep.

[waxen forge]

Middle back

[steel fable]

I was following a video for the Kiba key... in gochan...

[strange mural]

all ways to the back lead to gochen pretty much

[steel fable]

but i've never seen it there, but i also get there super late.

[strange mural]

just saying that key is, very, very very rare spawn

[waxen forge]

That Kiba key in Gosheis never there.

Rare af

[strange mural]

its not worth even thinking about, but worth checking

[steady pilot]

Whoops

[strange mural]

also running inside interchange is very, very loud to headphones

[grand crow]

What's that second map @steady pilot ? Stashes?

[steady pilot]

Yes

[strange mural]

i got taught by king myself

[grand crow]

That's really useful, thanks!

[strange mural]

you depend on where you are and where you have heard action has been going

[waxen forge]

Depending on where u spawn.

[strange mural]

yep

[waxen forge]

However there is still a weird deal where certain spawn in front of Ollie also exfil out back of Ollie.

It's kinda broken

[steady pilot]

Ehh yeha

That spawn is kinda fucky

[strange mural]

all the spawns are

[steady pilot]

@waxen forgethe one next to the sign

[waxen forge]

Yea.

[steady pilot]

The big street sign and tower

Yep

[strange mural]

was it us who spawned inside oli?

as pmcs

yee

[steel fable]

What is a stash map?

@steady pilot

[strange mural]

blue the ingame maps

that are pretty worthles

right now

oh

a stash map

it shows you the hidden stashes

on the map

[steady pilot]

@steel fable there are stashes that have a lot of loot in them

[strange mural]

buried underground containers

[steel fable]

Decent loot?

[waxen forge]

There are hidden bits of loot on maps. In the ground. Stashes.

[steel fable]

Interesting.

[steady pilot]

Can be

[strange mural]

yes

[silver dome]

is this the tech store

[strange mural]

yes

one of four

[steady pilot]

You can get like 300-1mil in loot doing all interchange ones

Depending on rng

[silver dome]

wherea re the pc?

[strange mural]

everywhere

[silver dome]

and what loot gives the "1million"

[steady pilot]

Everywherr

[silver dome]

in the tech store

[strange mural]

near all the tesks

in the offices

[open basin]

So many pcs

[steady pilot]

@silver dome nothing

[open basin]

There's like 6 by oli

[strange mural]

all of the loot combined. there is no mil loot items

[steady pilot]

Its collective loot

[dense pine]

Collective Loot was my favorite band from the '90s

[steel fable]

Maybe I'll do a stash run... and see whats up

[silver dome]

blackrock or mark3?

[waxen forge]

A dozen or so pc in Ollie offices. More pc in Goshen. Pc in Idea office.

[open basin]

The most expensive item you can get is prob a gpu

[grand crow]

What are your thoughts on scav on scav? Should I attempt to wiggle first or shoot if he's acting a bit fucky

[strange mural]

dont take chances

[steady pilot]

@bold kernel you mean it's a Mall?

[strange mural]

if it looks like a player

kill them

[mystic pasture]

Always kill

[steady pilot]

Cause you go to Them All

[mystic pasture]

But I don't understand scav on scav tbh

[strange mural]

sometimes just instakilling scavs isnt the smartest idea though if they are just ai

[open basin]

I was gonna say buy a case but you aint got no money

[steady pilot]

@mystic pasture gains

[strange mural]

better to check out their positions and numbers

[steady pilot]

What's more to understand

[grand crow]

I was entering Ikea and I got one-shotted by a pscav from idk where

[dense pine]

@lapis shale 1) all the mags. they're cheap to replace, very low loss 2) remove pistol grips and magazines from guns to save more space

[open basin]

Yeah killing scavs in interchange is a bigger pain if ur a pscav

[mystic pasture]

The one time I worked with another pscav we got way more gains

[steady pilot]

Oh I'm sure

[strange mural]

its not worth the risk

[dense pine]

@lapis shale also, fold stocks

[mystic pasture]

No no

I know it's not worth the risk

[open basin]

Yeah not worth

[steady pilot]

You could just duo or trio scav with someone

[mystic pasture]

Just saying I don't get the mentality of it

[silver dome]

another tech store?

[steady pilot]

Yes

[grand crow]

Also if pscavs kill you, it won't show their ign right? Just their scav name?

[faint violet]

yes

[open basin]

Sometimes there's 2 of 3 scavs on the route on the way to the emercom exfil

[steady pilot]

Rasmussen, texho, tech light, idea office

@silver dome

[silver dome]

all i find is bulbs and cpu fans

lol?

[strange mural]

probably looted then or bad luck.

[open basin]

You can def find them

[strange mural]

also people still ignore oli shelves

theres money there too

bits and pieces

[open basin]

I had a scav run where i spawned with 20 mins left and left with 2 gpus

[silver dome]

lol

[steady pilot]

https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/PC_block

[dense pine]

I had a pmc run right before an upgrade where i spawned with 11 minutes left (customs) and had to book it to make it. ran into a loaded out pmc and killed him right as time expired. got a colt

[steady pilot]

@silver dome

[silver dome]

yes i know them

[strange mural]

very rarely do you not come out with 200k loot

[silver dome]

i dont know where they are in the tech office

[steady pilot]

@silver dome no read the spawn chances..

[silver dome]

techlight

[strange mural]

techlight has none

[steady pilot]

@silver dome computers are mostly in the offices next to oli idea and goshan

[grand crow]

Is it safe to assume that chances of PMCs still in the raid at 20mins are slim? for interchange

[strange mural]

not really

the chances are still high

always gotta be careful

[grand crow]

alright

oh yeah Killa

[dense pine]

@lapis shale haven't really experienced that, but i'd imagine it's just a glitch

[grand crow]

I got killed by him for the past 3 interchange scav runs

[strange mural]

just dont go to the middle

[open basin]

I've gotten killed by a hallway sniper at like 15 mins

[strange mural]

bottom floor

[grand crow]

He has this slidy thing he does

[dense pine]

you too can do the slidy thing, no?

[waxen forge]

Hallway sniper?

[strange mural]

yes you can.

run into crouch

[grand crow]

Damn I didn't know

I've been following this map I found somewhere online

[strange mural]

also loot isnt that great in the middle

[dense pine]

@strange mural what's the circles for?

[strange mural]

what? lootable stores?

[grand crow]

yeah they said it's a nice run to do

as a pscav

[frail forum]

welp, second raid i die because i forget to bring painkillers reeeeeeeee

[strange mural]

https://i.imgur.com/8QtybqK.png

dont forget this area boikks

[open basin]

I do texho, rasumussen, dom, techlight and oli

[formal laurel]

tfw no Vaseline

[frail forum]

honestly how the fuck do yall remember to bring everything

[open basin]

Usually 100k-600k worth of loot

[grand crow]

Is that Oli?

[silver dome]

which way do i go from the entrance of the mall to get out

[dense pine]

@strange mural sweet oli map

[strange mural]

yeah it is

[silver dome]

to extract

which direction

[strange mural]

volkov check the wikis maps out

[dense pine]

right or left

[waxen forge]

Front right corner

By train

[grand crow]

Front right corner, Ikea should be on your right

[silver dome]

should i take a right?

[grand crow]

Railway extract I think

[strange mural]

straight and right.

[dense pine]

yes, right is closest

[waxen forge]

Go out front door and angle to front right with building behind you

He doesn't need to go anywhere near that.

They are on middle of road

He can angle to front right.

[dense pine]

@silver dome

[silver dome]

which way

ohh

[waxen forge]

Dude to to the hill wall on the right.

Follow back to train tracks.

[strange mural]

its not that hard

just follow the walls

into the corner

[grand crow]

Ive been watching people play and how do they actually see people from far?

I kinda need to squint

[waxen forge]

Experience

[grand crow]

Like walking and they see a guy on top of some fuck ass rock in the distance

[strange mural]

headphones are

mega brain

[waxen forge]

Because we know where to look.

[strange mural]

they know the hot spots

[grand crow]

ah right

[silver dome]

i made it

:d

[dense pine]

congrats

[formal laurel]

Be like cotton; don’t use headphones

They’re for pussies

[dense pine]

@silver dome now sell all those matches you looted ;)

[silver dome]

it was a scav run but i got out with this

[grand crow]

Speaking of sense tho I feel I do better after I jerk off

[silver dome]

first scav run on interchange

[dense pine]

wallet looted? huh

[silver dome]

?

[dense pine]

he headset isn't worthless at all

[faint violet]

Headsets make your ears bleed

[steady pilot]

You make my ear bleed @faint violet

[faint violet]

Shut up pink man

Stop pinging me before I get the boof

[strange mural]

honestly though
you are free to lose like 80% of your spatial awareness by not using headphones

but i dont suggest it

[mystic pasture]

I must be the unluckiest person 😄 4 runs to interchange now, still not found a gas analyzer, been in oli techlight and the other one downstairs

[faint violet]

I hear shit perfectly fine without headset

[strange mural]

idea office has a spawn for it too

[mystic pasture]

oooh yeh

[strange mural]

sack fun fact no you dont
it increases your hearing range

and wearing helmets decreases it too

so if you dont have a headset to counter act it

first wipe with a hideout but

yes

[faint violet]

I do perfectly fine

[mystic pasture]

My deaths dramatically lowered once I started using active headsets

[strange mural]

why wouldnt it

[faint violet]

I hear people coming

[long spear]

only helmets that say they cover your ears decease hearing

[faint violet]

I do like to keep my ears so I don’t use headsets

[strange mural]

i mean its whatever you prefer

[normal panther]

Cross that’s not true

[faint violet]

just wear a kiver or something idk

High deflection rate

[long spear]

@normal panther how so

[waxen forge]

Kiver sux

[faint violet]

Mediocre helmet overall

Still a nice package tho

[strange mural]

helmets that protect ears are fucked by muffling

[faint violet]

I’m fine with that

I ride in a group

Solo tarkov is boring

[strange mural]

again

opinions

[bold kernel]

Is the remington any good?

[strange mural]

[faint violet]

Well

Yes

But

[normal panther]

@long spear take the kolpak for instance.

[strange mural]

m80 is opie op so m700 is gut

[faint violet]

Yes

[digital oyster]

hello 🙂 anyone up for the prapor quest on factory "Delivery From The Past"? im a bloody beginner

[steady pilot]

Just use sordins or tac sport headset

[waxen forge]

Never wear motorcycle or fireman helmet

[steady pilot]

They don't make your ears bleed

[mystic pasture]

I use tac sport, gssz or w/e are horrid

[strange mural]

yeah earbleed sounds like the first rag headset

[long spear]

sounds like a bug then

[strange mural]

gssh

[steady pilot]

Gssh and comtacs sounds like crunchy dorito feet

[faint violet]

are there headsets that don’t amplify a players footsteps when they’re like 9 blocks away

I don’t want to hear that

[steady pilot]

Sordins best

[silver dome]

lol?

[steady pilot]

[silver dome]

so u dont wanna get an advantage

[faint violet]

Nope

[silver dome]

oof

[strange mural]

try out the sordins

[silver dome]

it could save your life but ok

[faint violet]

exactly

I’m more of a bum rush first shots off accurately kind of guy

so I want to hear my teammates

And I can’t with a headset

[thick mist]

Kolpak definitely blocks hearing what

[faint violet]

It’s shit also

lmao

[mystic pasture]

tbf I dont wear actives if im in a group

[strange mural]

just turn down... the game sound?

[thick mist]

It's better to just take it off than use it

[silver dome]

wish me luck

heading in again

[thick mist]

Good luck dude

[mystic pasture]

but I also hate playing in a group 😄

[faint violet]

Then what’s the point of headsets if you turn down the game

[silver dome]

only reason my volume is low because my character suffers from asthma

[thick mist]

Wait what are you saying lmao

[mystic pasture]

Oh man, this poor guy I just killed on interchange....

[faint violet]

Lmao

[mystic pasture]

195 rounds

[faint violet]

[thick mist]

You like to bum rush people so you don't wear headsets so you can hear your teammates? wat

[strange mural]

headsets increase your hearing radius

[mystic pasture]

blackrock and a drum mag ak

[faint violet]

yes communication is key

Imbecile

[strange mural]

even if you lower your game audio

you can still hear people more

[thick mist]

I can't tell if you're joking or not

[faint violet]

If I don’t know if they are moving through a crack in the wall I might kill them

[strange mural]

yeah so you can hear and track their footsteps?

and listen to their comms?

[thick mist]

If anything an active headset would help you hear your teammates even more

?????

[faint violet]

No

[thick mist]

[faint violet]

I can’t hear discord over headset and if I lower sound I can’t hear anything anyways

Can’t find a balance

So I don’t use them

Basically it

[strange mural]

you should mess your volume settings

[thick mist]

What kind of wonky headset do you have wtf

[strange mural]

yeah

[faint violet]

I have a hyper x cloud stinger

[thick mist]

I've never had a problem hearing Discord ever

[strange mural]

just increase your buds volume?

[thick mist]

Maybe adjust either Discord setting or in-game volume

[strange mural]

to where its in balance

with ingame

[faint violet]

hmmm it’s at 100

I’ll look at it when I get home

[strange mural]

you can raise up your friends volume

[thick mist]

Because active headsets are 100% worth using and should not impact communication with teammates

[strange mural]

and your general discord bolume

[silver dome]

is therea tech store on the first floor of the mall?

[thick mist]

Yeah

[strange mural]

yes

texhko

[steady pilot]

Texho

[strange mural]

and rasmussen

[steady pilot]

^

[thick mist]

Rasmussen and the uhhhhh

Texho

[strange mural]

and apparently theres one on the otherside that has some tech

[steady pilot]

Idea office**

[strange mural]

but i havent actually looked into it

[waxen forge]

And tech store next to Voyage

[mystic pasture]

right outside OLI

[thick mist]

Oh that one

[steady pilot]

There is a small tech store across from mantis as well

Towards goshan

[thick mist]

That's uhhh

[strange mural]

yeah its the one across mantis

[waxen forge]

Next to voyage

[thick mist]

German?

I think

[strange mural]

yeah german

[thick mist]

Ayeeee

10 points to me

[strange mural]

could be good loot too

[steady pilot]

-11 for being uncool

[strange mural]

jsut kind of in a danger zone

with killa

[thick mist]

I usually find jack shit there lmao

Don't even get me started about Killa

[steady pilot]

I find decent stuff time to time

[thick mist]

The entire mall is his danger zone

[strange mural]

btw

pro tip

using the underground exit near rasmussen is nice

because its hella secure

[thick mist]

Underground exit waaat

[strange mural]

goes down to the carpark

[thick mist]

Oh that's not really underground but

[strange mural]

and carpark is like, dead af hoods

[thick mist]

Yeah the hole is nice

The parking garage is above ground wtf

[strange mural]

just gotta secure the area before because killas there

ssshhhh

[thick mist]

okok

[strange mural]

they hated nazwa because he spoke the truth

[thick mist]

[strange mural]

and people dont expect anybody to be there.

it has little reference points

[grand crow]

O god I got killed trying to fit in to the stash under the bridge

[strange mural]

basically there are two diffrent carpark bits

the one from front and sides

and the one in the back

[silver dome]

gosh darn it i died

bruh all the tech stores spawn cpu and wires and all that junk

[thick mist]

They're so dark and spooky

Yeah tech stores are great

I mean wires are kinda worthless now

[grand crow]

How does one fit into that stash under the bridge at interchange tho

[thick mist]

You have to like

Do the worm kinda

Repeatedly spam sprint and prone I think

[grand crow]

Okay

Got shot in the ass attempting to get in

[thick mist]

I've never managed to get it but that's what my friend told me

[silver dome]

whats the "good shit" @bold kernel

[strange mural]

good shit are the rarer spawns

[thick mist]

@silver dome NIXXOR, graphics cards, Tetriz, gPhones, military cables

[faint violet]

military cables

👌

[thick mist]

Worth like 40k I think

[faint violet]

I just want corrugated Hose

[thick mist]

They dropped a ton but I still pick them up

Yeah those are a bitch to get

[faint violet]

Can’t find any

[thick mist]

Need like 30 for hideout lmao

At least they're not worth 220k anymore

[strange mural]

26 🤓

[thick mist]

What a nerd

[strange mural]

interchange is just the lowest risk profits

[thick mist]

Interchange? Nah there's not much good loot

[silver dome]

i wanna find killa

[thick mist]

Shoreline and Reserve have waaaay better loot

[silver dome]

does he spawn at the entrance

[thick mist]

You don't find Killa

[silver dome]

of mall

[thick mist]

He finds you bud

[strange mural]

yes in the general mid part

of the first floor

[silver dome]

lol killa gonna be dieda in a sec

[thick mist]

Yeah

[silver dome]

lol

[grand crow]

killa loves shouting tho

[silver dome]

grootpenis

isnt that a twig?

[grand crow]

yeah from GotG

[strange mural]

[thick mist]

Odd name but okay

[silver dome]

Galaxy Of the Garden?

[thick mist]

Do you actually not know

[thick mist]

Or was that a joke

[silver dome]

?

what was

[grand crow]

guardians of the galaxy

[thick mist]

Galaxy of the Garden

[faint violet]

He finds you

[grand crow]

on a non-related note is RDR2 worth it to get rn

[strange mural]

[thick mist]

Uhhh

[strange mural]

offtopic

[thick mist]

Define "worth it"

[strange mural]

but yeah

depends if you want to play singleplayer story

[grand crow]

yeah the game seems relaxing to ride around

[strange mural]

shitty loot there

[grave helm]

is no one playing reserve or why am I getting into "loading map" and then it switches back to matching

[mystic pasture]

Everytime I see that abbreviation I just think someone misspelt R2D2

[thick mist]

Ya too many scavs in RDR2

[strange mural]

sounds like a bug adam.

people defo play reserve

restart the que

[grave helm]

I researched for a game 4 times already

[strange mural]

back out and go back in

[mystic pasture]

That spooked me when you said Adam then 😄 until I saw @grave helm I was like...how tf do they know my name

[strange mural]

[grave helm]

hahahaha

[strange mural]

[grave helm]

My Fam Name is Adam tho

[mystic pasture]

oh shiet

I really need to look at what barter stuff is "find in raid" keep that and sell the rest, cos my junkbox is full

[thick mist]

Oddly enough I've killed Killa more times as Scav than PMC

He's too spicy for me

Nahh PMC Interchange is amazing

[mystic pasture]

Everytime I go interchange as a scav I just get murdered by other scav players

[thick mist]

Jesus

There's this uhhh

Spanish? streamer that has over 1,000 flea market rep

[open basin]

Prob botting

Does the amount matter for rep when you sell shit?

You sold stuff and ended up with less money than your last screenshot?

You should invest in a lucky scav junkbox if ur gonna do hideout stuff

[bold kernel]

Sell the tushonka that isn’t found in raid because they’re basically useless. But found in raid is needed for a quest later on

[open basin]

I need to find more tushonka

More goshan for me then

[inner basalt]

GOSHAN

sorry for caps

[bold kernel]

5.56x45 nato ammo

any recommendations?

M995 if you want to spend $7 a round

[robust jackal]

@lapis shale why do you have a kolpak?

[bold kernel]

M856a1 if you are not retarded

[robust jackal]

XD

55a1 actually has more pen than 56a1 now @bold kernel

XD

[bold kernel]

Really? Huh that’s cool I guess

[robust jackal]

Yep

[bold kernel]

Also why do you have a front and rear sight for a pistol you don’t have @lapis shale

[robust jackal]

37 for 56a1 and 40 for 55a1

Kolpak doesn't protect you

And muffles your sound

Sell it

[formal laurel]

@lapis shale NO KOLPAK

[robust jackal]

Also get the 5 uses splint they are way more worth the price

[formal laurel]

NEVER KOLPAK

[robust jackal]

Yep never

Its a false sensation of protection

[open basin]

M855a1 is expensive but not that bad

Spent like 80k on 250 rounds tho

[robust jackal]

Don't you mean 995?

[formal laurel]

M855a1 is second best

[robust jackal]

55a1 wasn't that expensive few dags ago

[digital oyster]

LF 3 ppl Factory run for the quest "Delivery From The Past" we r kinda new to the game!

[robust jackal]

Probably cuz of the buff

[formal laurel]

Because it wasn’t buffed a few days ago

[robust jackal]

Yep

True

[open basin]

Thats like 300 roubles a bullet

Which is flea market price

[formal laurel]

Just buy it from pk

[open basin]

Actually i spent 275 i think

[robust jackal]

Pk is meh to lvl up

He only lvl 2

[strange mural]

55a1 is very good and not too expebsive

995 is a straight upgrade at three times the price

[thick mist]

Yeah I freaking hate leveling up Peacekeeper

[open basin]

Yeah i need 2 lvls before i get lvl 3 pk

[mystic pasture]

how tf do people get into oli so fast?

I spawned on that corner right by oli and went straight there

[strange mural]

Good spawns

[thick mist]

Interchange spawns are such bs

[strange mural]

Pscavs can be in before players

[thick mist]

If they get lucky enough lmao

[mystic pasture]

Literally tex was empty, dead scavs in oli, all the shelves empty

Didnt see or hear anyone moving

[thick mist]

Might have just rushed in with a pistol

[strange mural]

Did you check tume

Time*

Might have spaned late too

[mystic pasture]

Didnt realise that was a thing

[thick mist]

God I hate Factory so much

[frail forum]

so umm

how am i supposed to insta

insta-recognize scavs from pmcs?

[strange mural]

Movement

[frail forum]

is it purely based on gear?

[strange mural]

Guns on back

Gear

[frail forum]

no i mean player scavs too

[strange mural]

Yeah.

[thick mist]

If they move like an AI, scav. If they have a weapon on their back, not scav.

[strange mural]

All of the above

[frail forum]

ahh yeah gun on back is a good one

[strange mural]

Gun on back is dead giveaway

[frail forum]

thanks

[strange mural]

Movement is the other

Also pscavs dont scream in ruski

[thick mist]

Although now that they added sprinting to AI scavs

Fucking scary

[strange mural]

They dont sprint randomly.

[frail forum]

i may or may not have been guilty of scav on scav violence just now 😬

[strange mural]

You knwo if you killed a player scva by their pouch slot

[thick mist]

No scavs are your friend in this game lmao

No need to worry

[frail forum]

oh dont worry i got instantly killed by another scav

[strange mural]

Karma

[frail forum]

ye

[bold kernel]

kurwa

[frail forum]

another question: how does one know what's "trending" on the flea market?

[strange mural]

You dont really

[mystic pasture]

I just want a gas analyzer 😂

[strange mural]

Prices fluctuate

[bold kernel]

@mystic pasture buy it

lol

[thick mist]

You need one in-raid

[mystic pasture]

Quest

[strange mural]

Therr is a raid in find quest

[mystic pasture]

Find in raid

I had one aaaages ago on a scav

[strange mural]

Raid in find

[thick mist]

Thank you for the help as always though Kebab

[mystic pasture]

and have yet to see one since

[frail forum]

so how do you decide what stuff to grab and what to leave there?

[bold kernel]

!wikia gas analyzer

[thick mist]

It takes a lot of just playing the game tbh sirdo

Generally electronics are good to pick up

[frail forum]

aight fair enough

[thick mist]

What map are you running right now?

[bold kernel]

@thick mist ok rude

i'll just leave

[strange mural]

[frail forum]

mostly customs

[thick mist]

Nitro smh

Ew yeah

Unfortunately Customs has like

No loot whatsoever

Unless you go into the dorms

[frail forum]

cant even find those 5 scavs to kill LUL

[thick mist]

Yeah it can be rough

[formal laurel]

Customs has plenty loot

Just hit stashes

[thick mist]

My advice would be to just stick to the outer edge of the map and hide if you see players, shoot if you see ez scav kills

[formal laurel]

Nah

[thick mist]

Oh yeah I always forget about the stashes

[frail forum]

alright thanks

[formal laurel]

Push construction, go to dorms, then to gas station

That’s how you find scav

If that’s all empty check big red and factory zone

[thick mist]

Dorms and gas station aren't exactly the most recommended for brand new players

[formal laurel]

Well if you never go you’ll never know lol

[thick mist]

@frail forum are you using an online map?

[frail forum]

oh i've actually checked out dorms and gas a bit

yeah yeah

[formal laurel]

You’re not going to find Scavs along the outside of the map

I’ll say that much

[thick mist]

Generally they're okay but if the scav bosses spawn there you're kinda fucked

[open basin]

Big red has tons of scavs

Within that area

[formal laurel]

Always bring a grenade to customs Incase reshala is in gas

[frail forum]

got into dorms, killed a player, no scavs, try to gtfo because low HP, die because i forgot painkillers

ez

[formal laurel]

You can kill them all in one grenade

Bring CMS’s > pain killers

[thick mist]

"Big red" is the big red warehouse in the lower left corner of the map btw

[mystic pasture]

No one got murdered by a scav in oli just now with an sks did they?

if so sorry 😛

[open basin]

If he's new then he doesnt have cms

[formal laurel]

He can buy em

[thick mist]

Not if he's under level 5

[frail forum]

what even are CMS lol

[thick mist]

Exactly

[frail forum]

i'm like lvl4 rn

[formal laurel]

They repair blacked limbs

He’s close

What edition do you have, sirdo?

[frail forum]

i'll get them when i unlock flea market then

standard

[formal laurel]

Alpha container right?

[frail forum]

ye

[formal laurel]

Yikes

[grave helm]

Alpha container is shit

[open basin]

Yeah just bring painkillers

[golden geyser]

Can someone tell me if I can use one of those dual scopes or a zoom toggle scope on the OP-SKS, and if so, how/which attachments to make it happen?

[formal laurel]

Try to upgrade to a beta as soon as possible or get an epsilon, you get beta by upgrading peacekeeper and epsilon at the end of the punisher quest line from prapor

Both are tedious things to do

But necessary

[thick mist]

He's a little ways away from that, Evan

[formal laurel]

Well, I know that Nazwa

I’m telling him in advance

[strange mural]

yes you can accurian and there are a looot of choices

you can check the wiki for the linked scope infomation specifics

and salso building workbench one in hideout isnt a bad idea

[formal laurel]

@golden geyser you need a back up sight, can find them on the market

[strange mural]

as it lets you modify presets

[thick mist]

Also @golden geyser the best way is to use the Cobra mount IIRC

[frail forum]

woooah hold on you can upgrade the container without spending irl money?

nice

[strange mural]

yeah

[formal laurel]

A cheap set up is PSO and back up mount

[strange mural]

of course

[thick mist]

Or dovetail

[silver dome]

Antique Pumpkin Thorax

what a name

[strange mural]

the best container is unlocked by completing all tasks kek

[golden geyser]

Oh okay, I'll take a look at it, thanks

[formal laurel]

Yeah, if you complete all the quests you can get the kappa

Which is the biggest container in the game

[silver dome]

kappa

[formal laurel]

[strange mural]

he wanted double zoom scopes btw

[thick mist]

Either one works

[strange mural]

[thick mist]

Yeah you can have them

Just need to add more mounts

[formal laurel]

people who run nothing but a back up sight are disgusting

[thick mist]

Uhh

How is it a back up sight if it's all they have

Are you talking about iron sights?

[strange mural]

also the psos' can just be put on instantly

[thick mist]

Yeah I've grown to love PSOs

[mystic pasture]

I think he means just a canted sight

and no other sight

[thick mist]

Not sure why someone would do that but okay haha

Maybe for the fun of it

[formal laurel]

It scopes in way faster

Than a normal scope

[strange mural]

Can someone tell me if I can use one of those dual scopes or a zoom toggle scope on the OP-SKS, and if so, how/which attachments to make it happen?

how is this not clear

[formal laurel]

Fastest way to ADS is the canted sight

[thick mist]

Who you smack talking Snut smh

[mystic pasture]

Snu we were talking about what Evan said ❤️

[strange mural]

fucking canted sight and no ergo

[formal laurel]

[strange mural]

sweaties can suck it

[formal laurel]

Elcan spectre or nothing

[bold kernel]

FFS

[strange mural]

okay boys next question

which reddots do yall run

[thick mist]

Bugged stats, did cruddy, or just saw no one?

[strange mural]

or reflex's

[thick mist]

MRS if I'm doing expensive loadout

[bold kernel]

belomo

[thick mist]

I use Burris FastFire on my budget loadouts though

[formal laurel]

Micro t-1

[strange mural]

oh dang mrs is the nice one

[thick mist]

Ya I love MRS

[kind thunder]

What are Screws for

[strange mural]

hideout stuffs

sell for a bit on the market

[formal laurel]

Hideout, yeah

[open basin]

Which one is mrs

[formal laurel]

Everything that you pick up is going to have a use, so like

Grab everything you see

Except crackers

[kind thunder]

can people break into my hideout?

[formal laurel]

Don’t grab crackers

No

It’s your little safe area to test guns and make meds

[open basin]

I use the weaver

[zealous forge]

That's be fun if you could

[thick mist]

Don't grab everything you see wtf

[kind thunder]

can i store items

[thick mist]

There's so much junk in this game that isn't worth picking up

[zealous forge]

Just 1v1 someone on their home turf

[thick mist]

@kind thunder the hideout just uses your stash as storage

You can upgrade your stash in the hideout though to make your storage space larger

[rocky ocean]

i love you guys ❤️ did my first full gear runs selling all stuff you recommended and got my inventory back full also found my first lab keycard with lvl 4 ❤️

[thick mist]

Damn dude nice

[strange mural]

nice!

easy 200k!

[formal laurel]

or use it to fight raiders

Nobody runs labs anymore the raids are so dry

[thick mist]

Or become a labs runner with a hopeless gambling addiction and lose it all

[formal laurel]

Ledx farm labs

[thick mist]

/s

[kind thunder]

why do i need security

[thick mist]

sell labs keycards

[golden geyser]

Oh, was my question confusing?

[thick mist]

@kind thunder It's just for show

Does nothing at all

[formal laurel]

It wasn’t, Accurian, he just got mixed up with my message

Thought I was talking about you

[golden geyser]

Yeah any type of canted sight, is it possible with the OP-SKS?

[formal laurel]

Yes

Look up “back up” in flea market

[golden geyser]

Okay

[formal laurel]

Back up sight mount should pop up

Link search it for scopes that can go on it

[knotty finch]

did they increase raid timers? im a interchange run 52 misn in

[thick mist]

"Back up" isn't a thing wtf

Unless I'm just dumb

[strange mural]

its called something nicer

[kind thunder]

can anyone help me out my stash is full XD

[rocky ocean]

i think i will just wait and until i have enough experience afterwards i will try labs or sell it idk but thanks to you all ❤️ i really appreciate it soooooooo much ❤️

[thick mist]

Unless you mean the NcStar backup mount

Oh yikes man

[strange mural]

yep

[thick mist]

Yeah that's the one

[strange mural]

get rid of golpaks

and the fireman helmet

[formal laurel]

@kind thunder get rid of KOLPAK and SHPM

[golden geyser]

Does that attach to the OP-SKS though

[formal laurel]

Both do nothing for you but block your hearing

[strange mural]

also backbags inside of your backbags

[formal laurel]

It does, accurian

[golden geyser]

cuz it doesn't show that it's compatible but I might be stupid

[thick mist]

You need to use a different body don't you?

[formal laurel]

It might be with a certain stock but I’ve used it before

[thick mist]

Yeah Accurian is just talking about stock OP SKS

[formal laurel]

Uhh, I don’t think you can?

Maybe a sniper scope with an RMR on top of it

[thick mist]

I mean, stock OP SKS has no picatinny so

[golden geyser]

[thick mist]

Common sense 🤷‍♂️

[formal laurel]

tri rails exist

[steady pilot]

There are sks stocks

That have rails

[thick mist]

Yeah

[round ridge]

when attempting the execution of killa, are aiming for the legs the best option?

[warm rover]

Are silencers worth it ?

vs scavs

[strange mural]

yes

[steady pilot]

OP sks is a very inaccurate and. Nerfed rifle at the moment so if you want something better and reliable, then look at an ak103 for same price. @golden geyser

[thick mist]

Yes and yes

Delta.... Not recommending Vepr KM........

😮

[strange mural]

also yeah if you dont have penetrating ammo

you cant kill killa to the head or chest

[golden geyser]

Oh it is?

[thick mist]

It's by no means a bad weapon if you enjoy using it

[golden geyser]

Does an AK-74N also work?

Oh and what does an eyecup do in Tarkov?

[steady pilot]

@golden geyser hmm

[strange mural]

limits your field of view

[thick mist]

Nothing

[strange mural]

cough

[steady pilot]

I can't pm you

[bold kernel]

@kind thunder get scav junk case, med case

[thick mist]

Eyecups are garbage

[steady pilot]

@golden geyser #weapon-modding

[formal laurel]

Eyecup is so fucking horrible

Never buy it

[thick mist]

Also @golden geyser AK-74N and SKS are two completely different calibers

I'd recommend Vepr KM if you wanted a similar DMR playstyle

[cerulean cape]

Vepr op

[thick mist]

Leave.

[cerulean cape]

No

[golden geyser]

I wanna get into an automatic gun but I can't find one that I like

[thick mist]

Yeah that can be really difficult

[strange mural]

yeah its a real problem

semis are just too good

[cerulean cape]

M4, hk, ak103 ones you'll run into most

[thick mist]

AK-103 is probably the best 7.62 automatic

If you want similar stopping power to SKS

Any of the AKM variants will get the job done though

Just don't expect to be mag dumping people from 100m away like people with M4's do lmao

[strange mural]

full auto is for the sweaty people

just upgrade your irl trigger finger

[golden geyser]

Thanks guys, I'll give the AK-103 another shot tomorrow after a bit of modding

[grave helm]

Can someone tell me what I dont need at the start? I mean what is not worth saving atm

[thick mist]

Pretty much every weapon or magazine you get you should sell to traders

[frail forum]

alright i got 2 more scav kills on constructions

[thick mist]

Dismantle every weapon, sell everything you can to Skier, then the rest to Mechanic

[frail forum]

got wrecked by some guy on dorms tho, i think i'll stick to construction for this task

[formal laurel]

Get rid of KOLPAK

[thick mist]

Sell Kolpak

Sell T-bag

Sell any tactical rigs you get

[cerulean cape]

Whole Lotta basic splints and bandages you probably don't need, I buy those/cheese as you use them

[thick mist]

If he isn't level five then I'd say keep

[grave helm]

Im lvl 5

[thick mist]

Oh nice

Then yeah, I'd sell all of your bandages and splints to Therapist

And then buy army bandages and aluminum splints on the flea market

Much more useful to have because they have multiple uses but take up the same number of slots

[strange mural]

or just run salewa/car

for the bleed

[thick mist]

Eh I usually have both

Tampon in the pocket never hurts

[strange mural]

i am a filthy eodian so i just carry mine in my gamma

[thick mist]

I'd keep painkillers, aluminum splint, and IFAK in your secure container

[strange mural]

if i were on alpha

id have salewa+cms in alpha

[thick mist]

You keep bandages in your gamma?

[strange mural]

no.

[thick mist]

Oh Salewa

I was gonna say lmao

[strange mural]

i keep cms salewa golden star

then a docs case

[thick mist]

I'd take IFAK over Salewa imo

[formal laurel]

I bring meds outside my gamma Incase I find some goodies

[strange mural]

yeh but space doesnt matter much

im just gonna put em in and take salewa out

[formal laurel]

I can craft like 200 salewas so I’m not worried about losing them

[thick mist]

You can always just move meds out of your gamma if you find some good loot though

[strange mural]

https://i.imgur.com/k0PRoM7.png

oh motherfucker

[formal laurel]

USEC stash key is really expensive

Get tf out

[thick mist]

[strange mural]

they all are

afaik

[thick mist]

I mean shoreline keys plummeted but

I think it's like 100k now

[formal laurel]

Shoreline is too scary of a map for me

Whenever I play I skirt around the shoreline, hit the building by the boat, go to scav island, GTFO

Resort is a death trap

[open basin]

How easy is the signal quest on shoreline

[knotty finch]

wait guys did they increase raid timers?

[robust jackal]

me and snutri did that signal quest no problems

[thick mist]

@grave helm if you want we could hop in a Discord call and I can go through your stash with you

[robust jackal]

most pvp seems to be in the beach really

[open basin]

I have tons of guns in my stash

I need a gun case

[thick mist]

Don't we all

[open basin]

Too scared to pull out the svds

[robust jackal]

gib me a THICC

or a SICC

[open basin]

So if i put a backup mount i can have a pso and reflex?

[thick mist]

Yep

[open basin]

Pso and reflex on an adar?

[strange mural]

scaw spawning in with 700k

wtfd

[thick mist]

Adar has dovetail?

Never used one before so idk

[strange mural]

no

but it can take the scopes

if you have the right gasblock

and take the rear off

[thick mist]

Oh nice

[dull cave]

i wish

i wish i could glue dovetail optics to everything

[open basin]

Or what about a 2.5x and a reflex

[strange mural]

it can take most if not all scopes

just need to have mounts for some

and the side optic

is dependant on the handguard/railshit

but you should be able to have them on

[thick mist]

Pretty much every weapon in the game can be modded enough to fit most scopes
